Patients and medical professionals may call 1-800-533-UPMC (8762) for more information.
PITTSBURGH, October 19, 2007 Despite additional and sophisticated monitoring of heart failure patients in a community home setting, an interactive program failed to show any statistical effect in reducing cardiovascular deaths and readmission rates within six months after discharge in a group of elderly, non-Caucasian men and women with heart failure who were Medicare beneficiaries. University of Pittsburgh lead author, Z. Ozlem Soran, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.C., associate professor of medicine, associate professor of epidemiology/research, and director of the EECP Research Lab at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Cardiovascular Institute, presented these findings at the 11th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Heart Failure Society of America recently in Washington, D.C.
Disease management programs provide substantive benefit, especially for patients cared for by cardiologists at academic or community hospital-based tertiary care facilities. However, the typical heart failure patient is not treated by a cardiologist or by a chronic care team but instead, by a primary care physician in a community setting. Furthermore, information is even more limited regarding the success of home care disease management amongst women, non-Caucasian men, or patients in lower socio-economic groups compared to Caucasian men. Limitations of disease management programs need to be addressed and overcome so that care of heart failure patients can be successful, said Dr. Soran.
Home monitoring systems are not intended to replace medical office visits, but do hold the potential to reduce the number of hospitalizations.
The overall goal of the Heart Failure Home Care clinical trial was to determine if a heart failure disease management program utilizing a computer-based telephonic system for home monitoring, in addition to targeted and consistent physician/patient education, coupled with diligent efforts to utilize optimal medical therapy, would be successful in improving outcomes.
One unique aspect of this trial was that it assessed the utility of the sophisticated heart failure monitoring system in a real world setting rather than within the confines of an academic medical center, said Dr. Soran.
This study also was able to assess a large percentage of women. Conversely, patients with other heart failure telemonitoring settings have been predominantly white males recruited by specialists from academic medical centers.
The multi-center trial was conducted at three sites with affiliations at major academic medical centers including UPMC, Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami.
In the heart monitoring trial, a total of 315 patients were randomized: 160 to A Day Link Heart Failure Monitoring System and 155 to standard heart failure care. Sixty five percent of patients were predominantly women. Both groups received patient one-on-one education, education to clinicians and an effort to use optimal medical care. In addition, patients randomized to heart failure monitoring system received an electronic scale and an individualized symptom response system linked to a computerized database operated by trained nurses. The primary study endpoint was treatment failure, defined as cardiovascular death or re-hospitalization for heart failure within six months of enrollment. Among patients re-hospitalized for heart failure, length of hospital stay also was considered a primary endpoint.
The study was unable to identify any useful benefits of a home monitoring system over a period of six months of follow-up when comparing outcomes in patients randomized to the home monitoring device to those with standard heart failure care.
Heart failure management programs hold tremendous promise for patients not receiving comprehensive care, but that does not mean that it is universally effective. Further clinical studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of enhanced primary care physician and patient education in determining clinical outcomes. Perhaps someday we will be able to better manage patients without including complicated devices if we can diminish the disease with medication and education, added Dr. Soran.
Other collaborators in this study include Ileana L. Pina, M.D., professor of medicine, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland; Gervasio A. Lamas, M.D., director of cardiovascular research, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami; Sheryl F. Kelsey, Ph.D. and Faith M. Selzer, Ph.D., department of epidemiology, and Judith R.

The Convention assembled at the regular hour.
Prayer by Rev. J. M. Phelps, of the M. E. Church.
Mr. VAN WINKLE inquired if the resolution of the gentleman from Marshall, pending when the Convention adjourned yesterday, was the business in order.
The President stated that the resolution had been withdrawn.
Mr. VAN WINKLE then desired to report some ordinances from the Committee on Business.
Mr. WEST said the Committee on a Division of the State was prepared to report. He wished the report to be received and read, so that if there should be any substitutes offered they could be offered at once, and all be printed and come up for consideration at the same time.
The President said there was a question of privilege for the Convention to decide upon. A gentleman was here claiming a seat, and it was proper that the case should be decided upon before any important vote came up. The Committee on Credentials had reported adversely on his claims and the report laid on the table. This matter took precedence.
The Secretary read the report of the Committee on Credentials reporting adversely upon the claims of Jonathan Roberts, of Fairfax county, to a seat in the Convention.
Mr. HAWXHURST moved that the report of the Committee be disagreed to.
Mr. HOOTON, on that question, demanded the yeas and nays and the demand was sustained.
Quite a lengthy discussion ensued upon the claims of Mr. Roberts to a seat, and the whole subject was thoroughly ventilated.
At length Mr. Stewart demanded the previous question, which was taken by yeas and nays, and resulted - yeas 33, nays 39.
So the motion to disagree with the adverse report of the Committee was not agreed to.
Mr. FROST moved to lay the report upon the table.
The motion was lost.
The question on concurring in the report recurring, it was put and decided in the affirmative.
So the Convention refused to admit Mr. Roberts to a seat.
Mr. LAMB offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Secretary procure, if practicable, a file of the papers and proceedings of this Convention, the papers and proceedings of the Convention which assembled in the city of Wheeling on the 13th of May last, together with the papers and proceedings of the Central and other Committees thereby appointed.>
Mr. CATHER the following:
Whereas, a portion of the people of the Southern States, in violation of their constitutional obligations, have attempted a dissolution of this Union and have thus precipitated the country into civil war; therefore,
Resolved, That the action of Congress, in voting men and money to suppress the rebellion and preserve the Union, receives the hearty approval of this Convention.
Mr. JOHNSON the following:
Resolved, That the Committee on Business inquire into the expediency of reporting an ordinance providing for the repair of State arms.
Mr. FROST the following:
Resolved, That the Committee on Business inquire whether any additional legislation is required to give efficiency to an act passed at the late session of the General Assembly, entitled "An act to prevent offences against the Commonwealth, and provide for the organization of patrols during the war," and that they report by ordinance or otherwise.
Mr. POLSLEY the following:
Resolved, That the Committee on Business be instructed to prepare and report an ordinance for the immediate and thorough re-organization of the militia, and for the more frequent and regular training of the same.
Mr. FARNSWORTH the following:
Resolved, That the Committee on Business be instructed to inquire into the expediency of appointing collectors on the Clarksburg, Buckhannon and French Creek Turnpike, and the Staunton and Parkersburg Turnpike, and the receiving of the tolls already collected; and making some provision for the repairing of the said roads, which are becoming in bad repair by the increased use of the roads by the U. S. troops.
All of which were adopted.
Mr. FAST offered the following:
Resolved, That the Committee on Business inquire into the expediency of changing the name of the county of Wise to that of Douglas or some other name more honorable than that of Wise. [Laughter.]
FONTAIN SMITH moved to lay it upon the table.
The motion was rejected, and the resolution adopted.
Mr. RITCHIE offered the following:
Resolved, That we are unalterably opposed to any compromise with the rebels, short of laying down their arms and returning to their allegiance to the United States Government; and that we will hold all who aid and abet any such compromise, as enemies not only to the government of our fathers, but as enemies to human liberty throughout the world.
Resolved, That we will aid the Administration at Washington in suppressing the rebellion with all our powers, both morally and physically, and studiously guard against all acts and doings that would militate in the least degree against the Union cause or embarrass the Administration in putting down the rebellion.
Laid upon the table and ordered to be printed.
Mr. CRANE moved the reading of the report of the Committee on a Division of the State.
The report, being an ordinance providing for a division of the State and the erection of a new State, was read.
After a good deal of parley, the rule was suspended to allow a number of substitutes for the ordinance to be offered.
The following gentlemen offered substitutes: Messrs. Dorsey, Kramer, Burley, Farnsworth, Zinn, Brown, Martin of Wetzel, and Flesher.
The ordinance and all the substitutes, together with a minority report offered by Mr. Johnson, were ordered to be printed, and upon motion of Mr. Paxton, were made the special order for Tuesday at 10 o'clock, and to continue the order each day until disposed of.
Mr. VAN WINKLE, from the Committee on business, reported ordinances with the following titles, which were laid on the table and ordered to be printed:
An ordinance in regard to the collection of the public revenue.
An ordinance ascertaining and declaring in what cases offices are vacated under the Declaration of June, 1861.
An ordinance providing for the punishment of certain offences.
The Convention then adjourned to Monday.

Department aims & ethos
The department firmly believes that all our pupils regardless of ability can benefit greatly from an education in Art & Design. The creative process is seen as the 'all important', regardless of the range of individual outcomes. We fully understand that not all our pupils will go onto be artists or be capable of sophisticated end products, but all with the right encouragement and attitude can develop valuable qualities that will extend beyond the classroom. With the varying capabilities of our students in mind our KS3 and KS4 courses have been organised with a lot of variety and opportunity for each individual to flourish within the subject. We understand the importance that 'development' is the key, and this is emphasised through the progressive nature of skills taught.
The Art Department fully understands the role it has to play in nurturing the SPIRIT qualities that is behind the ethos of learning at Balby Carr Sports College and the town of Doncaster as a whole.
Our department aims are based around such qualities as we look to stimulate, encourage and develop:
Self Confidence
• Students expand their capacity for imaginative and original thought, through experimentation and the production of final pieces.
• Grow in confidence and self-esteem as a result of being able to make a successful personal response to set projects.
• Allow their special aptitudes and individual interests to flourish, whilst fostering a sense of enthusiasm, achievement and adventure.
• Learn to trust their intuition through the creative process, developing a sense of confidence to overcome difficulties and to follow what they feel is right.
Positive Attitude
• Students enjoy their time spent in the department and become fully involved with interesting projects, where they know that ëall can achieveí.
• Look to make the most of extra-curricular opportunities and to enjoy developing classwork/homework in their own time.
• Seek to improve their attainment and skill base, through adopting an open mind to the potential of different materials and techniques.
• Respond to advice positively by allowing different viewpoints to change the direction of work.
Independent Learning
• Students learn to understand the importance of being prepared for work and organise themselves with the basic equipment needed for lessons.
• Expand their ability to structure their own learning and carry out individual enquiry successfully, evidenced both through sketchbook work and the final piece(s).
• Practise and develop skills away from the classroom, so to compound learning and move towards the development of a personal style.
• Develop an increasing knowledge of different artists, sculptors and craftspeople, understanding how their work impacts on their own.
• Respect for Self and Others
• Students develop the capacity to observe and attend to increasingly complex qualities within the external world, showing the ability to respond sensitively to aesthetic qualities in both the natural and man-made world.
• Develop the ability to articulate and communicate ideas, opinions and feelings about their own work and that of others.
• Learn to value and understand aspects of the role that Art has to play and the contribution made by artists within historical, social and multicultural contexts.
• Make connections between Art and its links with industry and careers, understanding progression routes and the possibilities that the subject offers.
Informed Decision Making
• Students use prior skills, knowledge and experience to make progress and to overcome future difficulties and problems.
• Make use of teacher support and one to one tutorials as an important tool in the decision making progress.
• Understand the importance of reviewing their work on a consistent basis, so that projects are continually developing and offering new directions.
• Possess the strength to value all of their efforts and acknowledge that their failures are sometimes just as important as our successes, when influencing decision making.
• All students know their current level of attainment in Art (whether this be an NC level, GCSE or AS/A2 grade) and use this to set themselves realistic and achievable targets.
• Set themselves smaller goals on their way to achieving their new target, so that the target becomes manageable, realistic and surmountable.
• Understand their role in the classroom in establishing a positive atmosphere, where students can ask questions and not be afraid to seek teacher support on the way to achieve their targets.
• Ultimately for the students to understand that by exercising these precise SPIRIT qualities and embracing the department aims then targets will be achieved!

Coca-Cola and Keep America Beautiful Announce 2011 Recycling Bin Grant Program
Grants Provide Recycling Bins and Consultation for Parks, Schools, Offices, and Special Events
STAMFORD, Conn. (Feb. 14, 2011) — The Coca-Cola Company and Keep America Beautiful, Inc. (KAB) today announced the Coca-Cola/KAB Recycling Bin Grant Program, an effort designed to promote and support community recycling.
Grant recipients receive both donated recycling bins and expertise on how to set up recycling programs from Keep America Beautiful. This Bin Grant program is part of KAB's larger Public Space initiative, an effort among KAB and its sponsors, such as Coca-Cola, to enhance the access to and convenience of recycling away from home. The grant program is also part of a $60 million investment by The Coca-Cola Company in recycling initiatives in the U.S.
"The great demand for recycling bins in public spaces reflects a growing interest in, and need for, expanded recycling access away from home," said Matthew M. McKenna, president and CEO of Keep America Beautiful, Inc. "We're thankful to The Coca-Cola Company for its support of this bin grant program, and the company's commitment to community recycling nationwide."
The spring 2011 grant cycle opens today, Monday, Feb. 14. Interested parties may visit http://bingrant.org and submit an online grant application through March 18, 2011. Eligible grant recipients include government agencies, civic organizations, schools and nonprofit groups. Successful applicants will be notified on or before April 15.
Since its inception in the fall of 2007, the Bin Grant program has placed more than 16,000 recycling bins in 320 communities in 48 states and the District of Columbia. Recipients have included municipalities, colleges, Native American tribes, and community- based NGOs.
"The entire recycling process begins when a consumer chooses to put their empty beverage container in a recycle bin instead of the trash," said John Burgess, president of Coca-Cola Recycling LLC. "Through our work with KAB to provide bins to community-based organizations, we can help raise recycling rates by making recycling more accessible to more consumers."

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Flyers, already missing All-Star defenseman Chris Pronger, lost two more players Sunday.
Before the game, GM Paul Holmgren announced Danny Briere would miss the game due to lower-body soreness. Then in the second period, fourth-line center Blair Betts left the game with a lower-body injury.
Holmgren said Briere most likely won't play Tuesday in Ottawa, but said Friday's game in Buffalo is a possibility.
"I don't think he is going to play the next game," said Holmgren. "We're going to hold him out another game just precautionary. I would expect him back on Friday."
Briere is second on the Flyers with 32 goals and tied for third with 63 points. The 32 goals are the most he's scored in four seasons with the Flyers, and the most he's had since he scored 32 with the Buffalo Sabres in 2006-07. It's the first game he's missed due to injury this season; the only three games he's missed were for a three-game suspension Nov. 1-6 for cross-checking Islanders forward Frans Nielsen.
Betts also likely won't play Tuesday, but wouldn't commit to any time frame for his return, saying, "It's probably going to keep him out for a few days."
Betts has just 12 points in 75 games, but he leads the team's forwards with 3:37 per game shorthanded, and has won a team-best 50.3-percent of his faceoffs.
Holmgren said neither player nor Pronger will be rushed back before they're ready. Pronger already has been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season while he works his way back from a broken right hand, and with just three games now left in the regular season, Holmgren said the focus is on what lies beyond the regular-season finale April 9.
"Obviously we still want to finish as high as possible but I don't think you can be short-sighted and push when guys are banged up," said Holmgren. "That's like Danny, there's nothing really serious with Danny but we just want to keep him out now. With Blair, I think we'll have a better idea (Monday), but nothing is going to keep him out of the playoffs. When we get to Friday's game, is he an option? Well, we will probably err on the side of caution with him, too."
Betts played just 8:08 Sunday, which wasn't much more than teammate Ville Leino, who played just 10:08, including just two shifts in the third period. Leino has missed time with hip issues this season, but he was healthy Sunday.
Coach Peter Laviolette wouldn't comment much on the situation, only saying, "We just shortened the bench in the third and tightened it up."
Leino said he was healthy and called the benching "the coach's decision."
"I'm OK," said Leino. "Obviously, I want to play and I want to be part of a tight battle like that but that's the coach's decision."
Leino did admit to not battling as hard as maybe he could have, which could have led to Laviolette leaving him on the bench for the majority of the final period and all of overtime.
"I just felt like I wasn't inside the game the way I wanted, maybe won a battle out there," he said. "I just wasn't in the game the way I wanted."

This collection includes apps that focus on what I believe are the best possible ways to integrate tech in the math classroom (with the inquiry-based approach that I'm so passionate about).
The goals here are:
Through these methods with these apps, students can make discoveries for themselves and visualize and understand properties that are difficult to see as clearly without technology.
Tech as a Tool for Exploration & Visualization
I think the most effective way to integrate technology in a math classroom in the 21st century is to use interactive apps that allow students to explore, investigate, manipulate, and visualize properties.
Allowing children and young adults to explore math through virtual tools is amazing. They can discover new connections by engaging on new levels which will increase their academic success. Most of us grew up in classrooms with limited technology. Just a few decades ago there was typically only one computer lab for the whole school and we all took turns getting to experience the cutting edge technology of DOS, Windows and Macintosh.
This was the birth of technology in the classroom; integrating virtual lessons to enhance our comprehension while having fun. And those were the days that were the best. When it was your classroom's turn to play Number Munchers, you were having a great day at school. You could sharpen your basic math skills while playing video games, which was living and learning in the future to our parents. Not to mention a ton of fun for us kids.
Tech for Hands-On Student Engagement
Our kids get the same thrill and benefit of having technology in their classrooms as well. Even though the technology has grown leaps and bounds since we were in grade school, the feeling is the same. We are instantly more enthusiastic when we are able to explore concepts through other platforms.
Students can drag the vertices of a triangle to see the various properties, or drag algebra tiles or fraction tiles for hands on learning. They can also see the more in depth concepts behind adding and subtracting integers with color coded counters. Plus, tech apps offer a great way for visualizing derivatives and integrals, by being able to see how they change as you adjust the function.
There are so many wonderful apps and virtual tools for students to use. It can be hard to narrow down the ones that will benefit your children the best, but here are the ones that maximize the ability to investigate math concepts in hands-on ways.
Top 7 Interactive Apps & Virtual Tools for an Inquiry Approach
2. Ooops App - This "Order of Operations" activity is a fun way to practice the order of math equations and problem solving. This addictive game app sharpens math skills as well as cognitive development and critical thinking for any algebra students.
3. Hands-On Equations - Just like it sounds, this Hands-On app allows you to interact with algebra with games and lessons. Students will have fun with the experience of having success with sophisticated algebraic equations.
4. Attributes by Math Doodles - Discover the joy, wonder, and fun of mathematics through patterns and interactive puzzles while using different parts of your brain. The key to understanding math is understanding patterns. That's why this app is perfect for exploring math. In a brain-based approach like my own favorite Math Doodle Notes, students get to creatively use both hemispheres of their brain while learning basic and complex concepts.
5. Algebra Touch - Students really get a hands on feel with this app. Using the touchscreen technology you can manipulate algebraic equations, such as isolating variable by dragging X's and Y's to either side of the equation. It's a perfect all levels of algebra, from beginners to advanced.
6. Geometry Pad - For a more advanced geometry student, this app packs tons of benefits. Students and teachers can use it in class for a deeper understanding of geometric concepts. Easily create complex geometric sketches, measure everything you have in a document, and experiment with shapes and transformations.
7. PhET Interactive Simulations: Math - "Beautiful and responsive tools bring light to tricky math concepts." This free app is great for students and teachers in beginner or advanced math subjects. It includes a draggable "Trig Tour," an interactive "Function Builder," curve fitting and graphing apps, and more!

HDD2 - Gaming
HDD3 - Windows Photo Gallery

HDD5 - Windows Movie Maker
HDD6 - Windows Media Center
HDD7 - Windows Media Player
HDD8 - Application Loading
The real-world performance is where we expect to see large gains over the 120GB SF drives and the 180GB capacity size doesn't disappoint. I still prefer our own custom test which is much more relevant for consumer users.

This Maine Coaster will give you the best view of New York and its iconic sights, and waterways; from downtown's skyline to the statue of liberty. Renting this boat will give you a unique, memorable experience, in personalized style around the harbor. The captain and crew are highly experienced in the harbor, its sights, and specialize in tours.
As a tour boat her enormous open cockpit makes for a comfortable lounge area for guests to sit, stand and relax as they take in the sights. Few boats of her size offer the kind of space and open views.
Tours include cold soft drinks and water drinks. Guests are encouraged to bring food and BYOB aboard.
Our most popular tour is a complete circumnavigation of Manhattan, which we do in just under three hours. The tour allows you to see not only the iconic Harbor sights—Statue, bridges, etc.—but also get a perspective on the diversity and architecture of the New York most people rarely have a chance to see. Priced at $650.
This was a great trip. David's experience and local knowledge ensured our film crew got everything we needed and more. Highly recommended.
David was a fantastic captain. We had to do some filming, and he supported us so intelligent and friendly like no captain before.
We had an excellent time on David's boat - it was an absolute pleasure! He was highly accommodating to our needs and was very responsive to our Sailo messages. He always got back to us in a timely manner and provided excellent service on our trip. Would HIGHLY recommend booking with him!
Member since July 2016
I am a USCG-licensed captain who has run large and small passenger boats—both sail and power—in the harbor and vicinity for over 10 years. I grew up sailing and boating on Long Island Sound and love taking people out on the water aboard Tireless. I have a strong passion for the history of the area and its unique natural and man-made sights, which I love sharing with passengers.See full profile
Usually this boat operates around New York, NY.
It's easy to forget that New York City is an island, and that its towering buildings create the beautiful Manhattan skyline when viewed from afar. Whether you're visiting or you're a jaded New Yorker looking to have fun on one of our Long Island fishing charters, Sailo has the perfect boat for you. Go sailing NYC: explore the lively area around North Cove Marina or plan a Manhattan dinner cruise to remember. You haven't truly experienced the city until you try the New York attractions by boat.More about New York City

Shakugan no Shana II - Favorite Character(s) Poll
Welcome to Shakugan no Shana - Favorite Character(s) Poll - the place where you can express all of your love towards your favorite Nanoha Strikers characters.
You can vote for multiple characters all at once in this poll. Your vote is final once you click on the "vote now" tab. You won't be able to comeback and vote a second time for another character. Choose wisely!
If you are selecting "Other" among your choices, please don't forget to name the character(s) you are referring to.
The poll is public which means the votes will be visible to everyone!
Thread Rules
Hmm, this season didn't change my view on the characters drastically, but there were some changes.
Shana: My all-time favourite anime girl. I liked her more in season 1, but she's still awesome and kawaii in my eyes. I missed her triple urusai a lot in this season, as well as her aggressive personaliy sometimes (This is probably because of the many slice of life episodes this season) But her new cute outfits and her protectiveness of Yuji made up for it:)
She still gets a 10/10 from me.
Yuji: I didn't like him too much in season 1, but I like him quite a lot now. He isn't the helpless boy who can only whine no more. He learned to fight and has made his resolve to protect the village. He did show his weak side in the beginning of the season, but in the second half of the season he turned into a fine male lead. I didn't like that he was too indecisive in the love area though.
He gets a 8/10 from me.
Wilhelmina: I already liked her in season one, but I like her even more now. She really grew on me this season. She's stronger than she looks and her personality is really cute sometimes. Trying to act like her mother for instance. Combine that with the dry Tiamat...awesome
She gets a 8/10 from me.
Hecate: Most of her was anime original, but I still liked her. She stays pretty cute. She changed a lot from season 1 in some aspects though. Her new fighting abilities were nice and I liked that she had trouble with her new 'emotions' sometimes. They did 'overuse' her this season imo though.
She gets a 7/10 from me.
Dantalion and Domino: Don't ask...I just like the weirdos XD;
They get a 6.5/10 from me.
^ I don't really see how Hecate is overused. I doubt her screentime amounts to even 10 minutes through the whole season. She barely had any appearances aside from her attack on Yuji to seal silver again and the very last episode.
If i were to say which character is overused, it has got to be Kazumi. She didn't really have a purpose and the writers didn't really seem to know what she is supposed to do either. Her involvement in the story lacks any form of creativity and she is very limited in her actions, which would amount to thinking one thought: "i want to stand in the same place as Sakai-kun and Shana-chan".
Her role in season 1 was much more defined and her presence more meaningful. But it seems that after fulfilling her role as Shana's rival in season 1, now it seems the writers simply had ran out of ideas what to do with her, thus she ends up as presence with barely any purpose.
As for my favorites ... i am not really sure i have one :heh: Yes, i have some characters i would prefer over others, but i don't really like any of them to the extent i would want to vote for them on the poll and say "yes, this is a charater i like from SnS".
There are no notable mentions for this list.
1) Shana : She was the reason I got into Shakugan no Shana. No Shana = no show IMO. And I love her melon bread love. :) +10 for Shana since shes voiced by Rie Kugimiya too. I may just be a closet lolicon though...
2) Alastor : I love him in the Shana-tan Specials.
3) Konoe Fumina : Even though the episodes she were in sucked hard I still like her. It may just be Noto Mamiko like ChrissieXD said.
All the other characters are likeable just not my favorites, though sometimes I wanted to smack my head repeatedly into a wall at Yuji's density at the 2 girl's feelings. If I hated 1 of them I would fast forward to the next scene in 0.001 seconds.
Kazumi - the main link in the series to the normal world, sweet, kind...... I'm saying the same things as ChrissieXD. :heh:
Personally, I think there was way too much hate and death posts at her...
Fumina - voted for her because of everything she is, except the Hecate deletes her part
Others, AKA Dantalion - crazy guy and fun to watch and listen to. :heh:
There was no character that I hated in this series. However, I had to narrow down my vote to four people.
Kazumi Yoshida- Poor Kazumi, so many people dislike her; worse, hate her. I thought Kazumi was a great character, very nice, helpful, and cool at times. She was very brave, following her "feelings" and sticking with what she believes. Apparently, some people don't like how normal humans think aka "Yuji, I want to be with you". But, then again, I'm probably sticking words into people's mouths, so ignore these, probably, false accusations.
Yuji Sakai- Surprisingly, there were problems with him, too. I still liked Yuji; he grew a lot in this season. He turned into quite a fighter, using the Bloodsucker and his sliver flame... thingy (I forgot). Yuji is awesome.
Margery Daw- She also grew more awesome this season. It was nice to see her a little more of her life, the whole Yuri and Annaberg episodes. Not to mention that she is so awesome and helpful in fights and in general. Basically, she is more awesome this season.
Fumina Konoe- Another controversy, I liked her. She was so "cute" and a competitor for Shana and Kazumi. Besides, she brought Shana and Kazumi more together.
"Honorable mention" goes to Wirhelmina Carmel, Shana, and Hecate.
Alastor - Hes just plain out awsome lol
Shana - A strong little girl its kool she gets a 10/10 in my book. Only thing i didnt like about her and yoshida was the constant ill win ill win stuff goin on
Wilhelmina: She is kool very serious and very cute i liked her look when she was fighting sabrac and she didnt have the arpon over the top she looked really nice like that ^.^
For me it's Shana-chan and Wilhelmina.
I just can't resist Loli and Maid XD
I must tip my hat off to the little people (Yuji, Shana, Kazumi, Konoe, and Hecate) due to having more depth in their character.
Of course, I'll assume that Konoe and Hecate are two sides of the same coin or being.
May sound stupid, REALLY stupid. I like girls with personality likes Shana's. Awkward..... >_>
Shana, Alastor, Wilhelmina, Pheles for me, and in "others", I vote for Dantalion and Domino :heh:
Shana: Well, it's just obvious xD
Hecate: She didn't even get 10 minutes of screentime, but she was one of my favorite characters. I "evolutioned" a lot through the first and 2nd season.
Others - Ogata
No-brainer, but I have to give a shout out to Yuji as well.
Shana: Probably the biggest reason I watch the series.
Wilhelmina: There's a certain je ne sais quoi about her that does it for me. Maybe it's the combination of the taciturn nature, maid outfit, and quiet affection for Shana.
Wilhelmina because I think she's just AWESOME
and Obviously Shana of course, because...i mean..it's SHANA
Hectate for being awesome too
Shana is a given.
Other goes to Chigusa for being an awesome MILF.
Shana: Bah! obviously! Shana is the first Tsundere I've ever liked, she got me into other Tsunderes, and she is one badass moe loli. <3 :heh: She's so cute, with her PURE love of Melon Pan, and the fact she's so innocent when it comes to "IRL" things. :heh:
Konoe Fumina: Auughh <333 [-Huggles her-] She was like the definition of Moe. Goddamn. I love the fact she reaches out to birds, it's so innocent, and omfg her in a witch costume shoots me back to Yuki Nagato and Tabitha, oh Konoe Fumina is oh so cute in that costume. :heh: I cried like so much on episode 15 when she went away, then a lot at the final episodes, MEMORIES OF KONOE FUMINA BURSTED INTO MY MIND. ;_____;
Hecate: Much character development, and like she's pretty with earrings. She is like so hardcore, her attacks are like holy shit awesome, but her expressions include: expressionless face, Angry Face, confused face, sad face, and orgasm face. I happen to enjoy all of them, especially the last one. :heh: but she has like little screentime in this season, much to my disappointment...

AAAS STEM Volunteer Program
Program Description
In 2004, the Senior Scientists and Engineers (SSE) organization and AAAS formed the AAAS/SSE STEM Volunteer Program to support K-12 STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education, foster STEM literacy, and motivate students to pursue STEM careers.
The Program recruits volunteers from the science, engineering, and medical communities in the Washington Metro area. It is based on RE-SEED and TOPS, volunteer efforts launched in the 1990s. The Program began in 2004 in Montgomery County, Maryland and has expanded to schools in Virginia (Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William Counties and the cities of Alexandria, Arlington, and Falls Church), in the District of Columbia, and in Howard County and Prince George's County in Maryland. Over 200 volunteers are participating in school year 2017-2018. The majority of volunteers are retired, but the number of those still working is growing.
Fundamentals of Volunteering
- Assist K-12 STEM teachers in the classroom throughout the school year
- Commit to attending their schools for a few hours one day per week, if retired, or a few hours every two to three weeks if still working
- Attend a one-day training session in early September which includes a review of the Volunteer Handbook, presentations by current volunteers, and information from school district staff
- Are assigned based on individual preferences, teacher requests, and commuting distances.
Once assigned to a classroom, a volunteer may:
- Work with individual or teams of students to encourage questions about STEM topics
- Offer insights on an aspect of a specific STEM field
- Relate STEM to real world experiences
- Be a resource for the teacher and students
- Help teachers with science fairs
- Develop activities jointly with teachers
- Explore opportunities for field trips and other programs designed to enhance the learning experience
- Advise students during lab experiments, scientific investigations, and STEM projects
- Complement the teacher's presentations and add a practical perspective if needed
- Work with teachers to enhance/improve course content
- Make presentations based on your expertise when appropriate
- Help teachers design experimental challenges to demonstrate scientific and engineering principles for the students

Kristen Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson put aside persistent rumours of a Hollywood catfight to enjoy a girls' night out together.
The leading ladies of successful franchises Twilight, The Hunger Games and Harry Potter swapped stories as they hung out, and for Stewart it was a great opportunity to get to know Lawrence, whose career is often compared to her own.
She tells MTV News, "She's so cool. I was a lot younger than her when I first sort of entered this world of franchise land, and I don't know, I guess we sort of both went, 'Wow, this is so weird.' We were actually sat in a corner with Emma Watson as well, the three of us. We were like, 'Wow, this is strange. This is really cool.'
"I think people assume that actresses don't want to (be friends). It was kind of a great feeling, to be honest. I was like, 'This is kind of just awesome.'"

Skinny dipping in lake after sauna
Olle plays bearded, balding Anders, the one man in the group who admits he is probably infertile.
He has a slim body, nice smile, not bad at all. In the skinny dipping scene, he is the only male who shows it all, full frontal. We see his thing flopping about as he runs to the lake.
I have a pond near my cottage, and he can plop down there anytime. !

"A refined red, with powerful cherry, dried plum and baked fig flavors, supported by fresh acidity. Lengthens out midpalate, presenting some beefy notes. Creamy accents show on the pure and minerally finish, revealing cocoa powder details. Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2020. 300 cases made. –KM " (WS)
"The impressive 2013 Magdalena Toso is a hedonistic blend of 80% Malbec and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon from old vineyards in Maipú that matured in brand new French oak barrels for 18 months. It mixes sweet fruit with aromas of violet pastille, ripe cherries, vanilla and a touch of earth. The palate is full-bodied with abundant, refined tannins and balancing acidity. This is usually an XL bottle, price tag included. It should develop nicely in bottle. Unashamedly modern within the classical cannons. 6,900 bottles produced." (WA)
"Aromas of wet earth, mushroom and sweet tea. Full body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Ripe fruit underneath. A blend of 80% mabec with 20% cabernet sauvignon. Drink now." (JS)
Winery Notes
This wine has a complete harmony between color, aroma, flavor and finish. This wine has Paul Hobbs's best 23 Oak Barrels selection of Malbec; which has characterizations of an intense red with notes of violets and plums and sweet tannins. Malbec is combined with a touch of the best Cabernet Sauvignon in order to give more consistency. Ripe, juicy raspberry fruit, with lovely boysenberry and plenty of vanilla, spice and chocolate shavings. Very elegant in style.
Winemaker Notes:
To create this wine, we have selected the most concentrated grapes, looking for the best varietals expression choosing cluster by cluster and grain by grain. The wine is fermented for 10 days and macerated for 15 days, post fermentation. It ages for 18 months in new French Oak barrels and is then bottled with a soft filtration. It will remain in bottle one more year prior to is release.
Serving Hints:
Excellent to pair with pasta, red and white meats and dishes with any creamy sauces.

About Northland Arboretum
The Northland Arboretum encompasses over 500 acres in the heart of Brainerd/Baxter, Minnesota. This member-supported, non-profit organization was founded with the closure of the Brainerd Landfill in 1972. Left untouched, the 40-acre landfill site now supports a grassland. The arboretum owns a beautiful Norway Pine Plantation to the north and leases land from Crow Wing County behind the Westgate Mall. The Nature Conservancy owns nearly 200 acres within the arboretum boundaries...one of Minnesota's primary examples of Jack Pine Savanna.
Areas of interest at the Northland Arboretum include several demonstration gardens by the Visitor Center, the Monet Bridge & Pond, the DNR Landscaping for Wildlife project, the Secret Garden and many flower beds maintained by our valuable volunteers.
The Northland Arboretum Visitor Center has an educational kiosk featuring the 9.87 kilowatt solar panel array installed on the roof. This educational tool demonstrates to visitors the feasibility and benefits of solar electric power.
An orienteering course is available for amateurs and experts. The arboretum also provides four seasons of fun with 20 kilometers of hiking and cross-country ski trails.
The Northland Arboretum mission statement has remained the same through the years:
The Northland Arboretum, an outdoor nature conservatory is designed to promote intelligent conservation and high standards of ecology with a year-round display of our region's flora and fauna, through workshops and seminars, and by providing outdoor recreation that appreciates and respects our natural plants and wildlife.
The Northland Arboretum will be the premier destination in Central Minnesota connecting people to the environment by promoting education and preservation, health and wellness, recreation and enjoyment for all.
The Brainerd Jaycees, partnered with Brainerd Community Action,
presented Northland Arboretum the Distinguished Service Award
for Outstanding Large Non-Profit of the Year.
Executive Director Mary Corrigan accepted the award during the
banquet / presentation held at NP Event Space in Brainerd, September 18th.

A savanna is a name used to describe grassy areas that receive a lot of annual rainfall. The African Savanna receives as many as 50 inches of rain each year. The African Savanna is the umbrella term for a large region, primarily in Central Africa, that is comprised of many sub-regions, of which one of the most famous is the Serengeti. Although it only occupies about 30,000 of the Savanna, it is home to more than one million wildebeests during the wettest parts of the year.Learn more about Africa

In Depth: Super AMOLED vs Super LCD: top smartphone screens compared
The technology explained
Super AMOLED and Super LCD are two of the best and most popular screen technologies currently in use on phones, and are the display tech of choice for two of the most popular Android phones around.
HTC for example, packed its One flagship with a Super LCD screen (in fact, it's one of the biggest customers of the tech by some way) while Samsung not only uses Super AMOLED, the company actually created it. But what's the difference between them? And which is better?
Super AMOLED
To understand Super AMOLED you first need to understand its origins. It started with OLED, which stands for 'organic light-emitting diode' and consists of a thin organic film with electrodes at either side. As soon as an electric current is applied to the film it emits light.
AMOLED is an 'active-matrix organic light-emitting diode'. It adds a layer of semiconducting film behind the OLED panel which allows it to more quickly activate each pixel. That increased speed makes it ideal for larger, higher definition displays with a lot of pixels. In fact it's as much as 1000 times faster than LCD.
AMOLED screens also tend to have great contrast, as the light on the screen comes from each individual pixel rather than a backlight; when it needs to create a black colour it simply dims or turns off the relevant pixels, for a true, deep black.
AMOLED screens also use a large colour gamut, so they can display a wide range of colours, but that can also cause images to look very vibrant or over-saturated.
Other advantages of AMOLED screens are that they have wide viewing angles and can even be made transparent or flexible, which makes them ideal for the curved handsets which are starting to hit the market, such as the Samsung Galaxy Round.
An AMOLED touchscreen usually has an extra, touch sensitive layer on top of the screen, but with Super AMOLED Samsung has been able to integrate touch sensitivity into the screen itself.
The result of this is that not only is the screen thinner, lighter, more touch sensitive and less power-hungry, but without that extra layer it's also far less reflective than a typical AMOLED screen, making it easier to view in bright sunlight.
On the other hand Super AMOLED screens are quite susceptible to image burn in and sometimes use a PenTile matrix with fewer subpixels than their LCD companions, which can potentially lead to less sharp images or give the screen an unnatural colour tint.
Samsung obviously has a lot of faith in Super AMOLED, as the company uses it in its latest flagship (the Samsung Galaxy S5) as well as most other phones in the Galaxy S range, but it's also developed variations on the technology.
For example there's Super AMOLED Plus, which was used in the Samsung Galaxy S2 and has a standard RGB matrix rather than a PenTile matrix, meaning it has 50% more subpixels and therefore delivers clearer images, but it also degrades faster than a Super AMOLED display, which is why Samsung stopped using it in its flagships.
Then there's HD Super AMOLED, which is just a 720 x 1280 Super AMOLED display and Full HD Super AMOLED, which, you guessed it, is Full HD 1080 x 1920.
Super LCD
Just as AMOLED was the predecessor to Super AMOLED, LCD was the predecessor to Super LCD. Unlike an AMOLED display which lights each pixel individually, an LCD (or liquid crystal display) has a backlight, so the whole screen is lit to some extent, even supposedly black areas.
It uses liquid crystals which are manipulated via electrical charges to cover or not cover pixels as needed, thereby letting more or less light through, but it can never deliver true blacks as the backlight is always on.
In standard LCD displays there's an air gap between the outer glass and the display element, but with Super LCD that gap is removed, which has similar benefits to Super AMOLED.
Glare is reduced, making it more easily viewable when outside and in bright sunlight, plus the screen is also thinner and uses less power than standard LCD.
The power consumption of a Super LCD screen is particularly low when displaying lighter colours, which makes it ideal for web browsing for example as websites tend to have white backgrounds. The opposite is true with Super AMOLED, where blacks consume less power as the pixels don't have to be lit.
Things get a bit more complicated when you consider that there's also such a thing as Super LCD2 and Super LCD3, but really each numbered version is just an improvement on the last while working in much the same way.
Super LCD3 for example is brighter than Super LCD2, as well as having better viewing angles and a faster refresh rate to avoid blurring when watching videos.
Super showdown: Galaxy S4 vs HTC One
Super showdown
So those are the differences on paper, but you can't always equate that to real world performance. With that in mind we've put two of the best examples of each display type head to head to see which comes out on top. In the Super LCD corner we have the HTC One and in the Super AMOLED corner there's the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Why not the Samsung Galaxy S5? Simply because we haven't had enough time with it to properly compare it to the HTC One, though side by side with the Galaxy S4 it had superior colour reproduction, brightness and movies looked better on it.
The first thing to note is that while both screens are bright, the HTC One (and Super LCD screens in general) is much brighter than the Samsung Galaxy S4 with its Super AMOLED screen. In fact the HTC One can manage 500 nits of light output, while the Galaxy S4 can only manage around 300 nits.
The upshot of that is that the HTC One fares a little better outdoors and in bright environments, as the screen is clearer and colours are less distorted.
On the flip side though the Samsung Galaxy S4 has far better contrast as it can produce true blacks. It also has richer colours and the difference is particularly noticeable in dark environments.
To keep it simple you could say that the HTC One's screen tends to perform better than the Galaxy S4's when outdoors and the Samsung Galaxy S4's is better when indoors.
The Galaxy S4 also has wider viewing angles than the HTC One, though the HTC One has more natural colours than the Samsung Galaxy S4, which tends to over-saturate things a little.
The S4's display is also likely to consume less battery power, because it doesn't have a backlight, but OLEDs burn out over time so the HTC One is likely to have more legs before the screen starts to wear out.
To be clear though none of the differences are earth shattering. Other factors affect a phone's battery life and durability more than the display type.
The HTC One might not have as good viewing angles or contrast as the Samsung Galaxy S4 but it's still pretty good for both, while the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is good at avoiding reflections means that it still fares pretty well outside despite not having as bright a screen.
Also colours are far more natural on the S4 than on some earlier Super AMOLED handsets, and they seem better still on the Galaxy S5.
Ultimately, the incredible contrast and rich colours of the Samsung Galaxy S4 seals the win for it, as the extra brightness of the HTC One isn't likely to be as useful as often.
While the HTC One's colours are more natural the difference is minor, especially as the Galaxy S4 has multiple colour profiles to choose from to alter the intensity of the colour saturation, while you're stuck with just the one on HTC's phone.
Does that mean that Super AMOLED is better than Super LCD? Not necessarily. On paper we'd argue that Super AMOLED is slightly superior but really it depends on your own preferences.
Do you favour brightness or contrast? Vivid colours or natural ones? And even then each handset will have its own display quirks or be calibrated differently, regardless of the technology used.
Phone screens are a minefield of different technologies with their own strengths and drawbacks, but at least now you'll be better equipped to navigate it.

As I proceeded on my journey northward, I hoped to find consolation and brighter prospects in the independent province of the Lebanon. Few Americans know just what the Lebanon is. From the repeated allusions in the Bible most people imagine it to be nothing but a mountain. The truth is that a beautiful province of about four thousand square miles bears that name. The population of the Lebanon consists of a Christian sect called Maronites and the Druses, the latter a people with a secret religion the esoteric teachings of which are known only to the initiated, and never divulged to outsiders. Both these peoples are sturdy, handsome folk. Through the machinations of the Turks, whose policy is always to "divide and rule," the Maronites were continually fighting against the Druses. In 1860 Turkish troops joined with the Druses and fell upon the Maronites with wholesale massacres that spread as far south as Damascus, where ten thousand Christians were killed in two days.
The European powers were moved at last. Fifty warships were sent to Beirut, and ten thousand French troops were landed in the Lebanon, to create order. Under the pressure of the European powers the Sublime Porte was forced to grant an autonomy for the province of the Lebanon. The French, English, German, Russian, Austrian, and, a year later, the Italian, Governments were signing the guaranty of this autonomy.
Since then the Lebanon has had peace. The Governor of the province must always be a Christian, but the General Council of the Lebanon includes representatives of all the different races and religions of the population. A wonderful development began with the liberation from Turkish oppression. Macadamized roads were built all over the province, agriculture was improved, and there was complete safety for life and property. There is a proverb now in Palestine and Syria which says, "In the Lebanon a virgin may travel alone at midnight and be safe, and a purse of gold dropped in the road at midday will never be stolen." And the proverb told the literal truth.
When one crossed the boundary from Turkish Palestine into the Lebanon province, what a change met his eyes!—peaceful and prosperous villages, schools filled with children, immense plantations of mulberry trees and olives, the slopes of the mountains terraced with beautiful vineyards, a handsome and sturdy population, police on every road to help the stranger, and young girls and women with happy laugh and chatter working in the fields. With a population of about six hundred thousand this province exported annually two million dollars' worth of raw silk, silkworm-raising being a specialty of the Lebanon.
When autonomy was granted the Lebanon, French influence became predominant among the Maronites and other Christians of the province. French is spoken by almost all of them, and love for France is a deep-rooted sentiment of the people. On the other hand, the Druses feel the English influence. For the last sixty years England has been the friend of the Druses, and they have not forgotten it.

Maurice Tobin purchased this house in 2015
My first ever visit to Aquitaine was in 1977 and I made up my mind then that one day I would live here. I love the French countryside , the simple life , the quietness , the long lunches, and most of all the weather.
Lot-et-Garonne is perhaps the France that you always hoped existed but could never quite find - medieval villages and sunflower fields, quiet roads and small farms in gently rolling countryside. One of the 'best kept secrets' in France!
A house with its own practice golf , private heated swimming pool , fully fitted summer kitchen , beautiful views of the countryside. Walking distance to the village. Perfect getaway , if you like peace and quiet, La Borde Haute is the place for you. Easy access to Bordeaux Airport and Bergerac Airport.
The local area is renowned for the production of artisan food products - cheese, foie gras, tomatoes, asparagus, nuts, prunes and of course wine; and its night markets where the produce can be enjoyed at the weekly night markets in La Parade (10 minutes) and Fongrave (25 minutes).
Due to a faulty plane we were around three hours late arriving so the shops were closed. This was not a problem however as I sent a text to the owner, Maurice, to inform him we were held up and he very kindly did a shop for us and stocked up with milk, bread, ham, croissants, tomatoes, fruit, eggs, beer and wine so our holiday could truly begin on arrival.
The property has everything you need and more for a home-from-home getaway. It is very clean, the beds are extremely comfortable and the outside areas don't disappoint either.
The pool is lovely and the added bonus of the summer kitchen, complete with kettle, fridge, BBQ, cutlery and crockery means you can kick back and stay there all day without having to go into the house - fabulous!
Maurice, the owner, is an absolute star - nothing is too much trouble. He is respectful of your privacy and extremely helpful if you need anything. We asked about rail travel to Bordeaux and he went to the local railway station for us and found out all the details - prices, times etc.
We were invited to his home one evening where he cooked a fabulous meal of roast lamb and we laughed and chatted with him until late into the night. A wonderful host who genuinely loves what he does and cares that his guests have the best time on their holidays.
We could not fault this property, the owner or the location and if you are looking for a complete chill-out then this is the holiday for you.
A brilliant place to stay in a wonderful area of France. The house has everything you need, excellently equipped, well furnished and decorated with good Wifi and internet facility. Beautiful and fully secured gardens with the best heated pool we've had in our stays in France. The property really benefits from the poolside kitchen.
Supermarkets 10min drive from the property with lots of small villages around.
The owner Maurice, could not have been more helpful, welcoming and friendly. A true gentleman - You must ensure you take the time to share a glass or two of wine with him!
We look forward to staying here again and seeing Maurice again next year!
Don't hesitate, book now!
This is a great house, artfully decorated and with pretty much everything you need. The heated pool was most welcome as was the a/c in the house. Loved having the sonos system too, nice touch. Enjoyed the poolside kitchen with gas BBQ and fridge etc. plus the sun-loungers were really comfortable. All well thought through. Loved the area, so beautiful. The location of the house is quiet and peaceful and yet close to amenities. The highlight is Maurice; I was on my own the first three days and my host could not have been better company, a nicer man you could not wish to meet. (We will get to that restaurant one day!). Thank you.
We had a fabulous stay in Maurices property. From the minute we arrived he went out of his way to ensure we always had everything we needed. He checked out activities we were interested in like finding us details and making contact with a rowing club approx 20 minutes away so our son was able to have a row with the club. He invited us to dinner one night which was thoroughly enjoyable. The facilities available at the property were such that we had everything we could have needed in both the house and the poolhouse. Pool was kept clean for us and the driving range was an unusual but very enjoyable distraction for all of us.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Maurice and his property to anyone interested in holidaying in that region of France
The house was very well equipt, we did not need to rush out to purchase anything on the first day, which meant our holiday could begin immediately. The owner is very kind, polite, respectful and always happy to help to make your holiday the best!
We were fully relaxed and our daughters really enjoyed the heated swimming pool and we all enjoyed the golf as a family. The views are breathtaking, only being disturbed by some donkeys in the next field...amazing!
Overall this holiday was a fantastic opportunity for my husband, twin daughters and myself to relax and really enjoy some quality family time.
From the moment we arrived at La Borde Haute, I knew we'd made a good decision. We had the most relaxing holiday and this was partly down to the fact that the house is so well organised and has everything you could wish for. We were blessed with good weather. Whilst holidaying at the peak time, the heat can sometimes be a little hot, however we lucked out this year with beautiful sunshine but low humidity which made for very pleasant days by the pool.
The pool, what can I say, is perfect. Heated and super clean. Whilst if you want to swim lengths, it may not be perfect, if it's lying on a lilo or just playing around it genuinely is perfect.
We soon learnt that the Summer Kitchen is the place to use the fridge as it is a bit of a trek (not far but you know what I mean) when you want something from the main kitchen. We found ourselves splitting the shopping between the main and summer kitchen fridges, making life super easy. This way everything was to hand.
Good shopping locally. We found the Leclerc in Tonneins had a good meat and fish counters however there are obviously all the local producers.
The living room and bedrooms are comfy with a good standard of furniture/linen etc. Three toilets to pick from! We couldn't fault anything at all. (There's a loo and shower by the pool!)
The gardens are secure and spacious with plenty to do around the house including of course, the golf. Never before have we stayed somewhere which has it's own pitch and putt and driving range. Clubs and loads of balls on site ready for you to use.
If I was going to be super fussy, and this is fussy, the electric summer kitchen door and gate had a mind of it's own but other than causing a bit of a laugh, if you have young children, all you have to do is watch to make sure the gate is closed etc, not difficult.
A short, uphill walk to the village for a baguette and croissant and this started every day in the way we like it. I admit we didn't really tour the area but this is because we know the area pretty well, so was a conscious decision. Why spend time driving around when you have the perfect home, pool and golf to keep you busy!
As for Maurice, he was and is the perfect host. He'd do anything for you and is very proud of what he has created. He wishes for people to have a great time and will do everything in his power to make sure you do. Highly recommended and we will return.
Situated between Bordeaux and Toulouse, La Borde Haute is nestled in the heart of Lot Et Garonne.

Think again. Most of them are essentially targeted to eighth graders, ages 13 and up. Why 13? The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) was established to product children's information and has deemed that an appropriate age for collecting data, but it seems pretty young for someone who could very easily find a slew of inappropriate content in a matter of seconds on these sites.
