I have to say that this hotel has seen better days and I had a quiet and clean room since I was on a vacation to clear my head before heading back to the hustle and bustle of my everyday life. The rooms were actually comfortable and clean, there was television present in the room and a fridge, there was good supply of hot water and the bathroom was functional so I have nothing much to complain about the room. The rate charged for accommodation here included breakfast for the guests and the fact that they have a 24 hour café open for drinks and cigars was great. The location is not all that great as you will need to walk for minutes before getting to where you can take bus or taxi to wherever it is you want to visit. It is a bit far from the city center which will cost you both money and time to get to the place. They have a pool and a pool bar where you can go swim and unwind with very nice staff there. This hotel has an onsite store where you can go buy stuff if you want to and also a disco for those looking to have nightly entertainment. I forgot to mention that they gave me a sweet cocktail as welcome on arrival so that was a nice gesture on their part. It's a basic accommodation choice, nothing spectacular but great to stay. I will be back whenever I am in town.

Fun children's birthday party games always make a big hit with the kids. Make the big day a fun day by lining up some fun birthday games. Always consider the ages of the children and choose games appropriate for their age. Keep safety in mind and use items that won't harm them in any way. Here are a few ideas:
- Birthday Art Mural. Have a large canvas, either on an easel or on a table or floor. Give the children some paints (washable) and let each one have a hand at painting on the mural. By the end of the party the mural will be done and it will be a neat keepsake for the birthday child.
- Sculpture Game. This is sort of like a still charades. The "it" person will get to "sculpt" or move another child into some position while the others try to guess what it is. Try giving the sculptor more clay (children) to make a more elaborate sculpture. Like charades have some ideas on scraps of paper – ballerina, tree, dragon, etc.
- Beaded Jewelry. Depending on the ages of the children – have supplies handy so they can make their own jewelry piece. Younger children you can use pasta and cereal like Cheerio's and older children you can use actual beads. Get creative, use things like washers and colored paperclips.
- Bug Hunt. Hide some plastic bugs around your home or yard. Give each child a paper bag and have them hunt bugs. Just like with an Easter egg hunt, the person with the most bugs at the end wins. Be sure to have a "prize" to give to the winner.
- Treasure or Scavenger Hunt. Hide some items (enough for each child to grab) that relate to the party's theme around. Make up a clue list with words or pictures (for non-readers) and print off enough for each child. Give them the clue list and have a timer handy. The first person to gather all the items wins. Mix up the clues so that the children won't be going after the same items at the same time.
- Swab the Deck. Or sweep the balloons. Find a 15 to 30 foot area. Put about 5 to 10 balloons on the ground – 2 kids with brooms try to sweep as many as they can into their team's awaiting box at the end. The one to sweep the most balloons into the box wins.
- Hide Your Treasure. This is a twist on the scavenger hunt game. Divide the party into two teams. Give each team some items to hide. Have them to make a list of clues and / or a treasure map. Then have the teams switch clues or maps – let them find the treasures the other team hid. First team to complete the task wins.
Whatever games you decide to play during the birthday party you can always fall back on the old favorites like pin the tail on the donkey and balloon popping races. …

We've all been there — you're out jogging, you're feeling great, then the burn sets in. For Rob Sloan of England, that was the moment at which he did what many of us would do too: He called it quits and hopped on the bus.
The only problem with Sloan's bright idea was that he was participating in the Kielder Marathon. And after he got off the bus, he hid behind a tree, waited for two participants to go by, and then rushed out to claim third place. Yes, you read that right. He hid behind a tree. Presumably with Elmer Fudd.
Sloan was, of course, outted after not too long by both spectators on the bus and participants in the race, not to mention by the obvious time discrepancy (He was the only runner to run faster in the second half of the race than he did in the first). Sloan is now understandably facing expulsion from the Sunderland Harriers running club to which he belongs.
"It's a bit of a shock," Harriers VP Ann Lillie told the Daily Telegraph. "We have a good reputation, and obviously this has brought the club into disrepute."

Springfield Chapter Volunteers at CMN Telethon
On Sunday, June 2, 2013, volunteers from the Springfield Chapter of Credit Unions answered phones at the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH) telethon from 2-3 p.m. at CoxHealth in Springfield. The volunteers that day came from Metro Credit Union, Educational Community Credit Union, TeleComm Credit Union and Assemblies of God Credit Union.
"We raise funds for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals because it's an exceptional organization with a strong mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible," says Stacy Lipskoch, chair of the Springfield Chapter of Credit Unions Board. "CMNH knows where the need is the greatest and funds are often used to purchase much needed equipment and care."
In addition, they presented a check for more than $48,475. This impressive donation was the result of the collaborative efforts of all the credit unions in the Springfield Chapter. These fundraisers include dress down days, the Golfing for Kids Golf Tournament, candy bar sales, and additional individual credit union efforts. Participating credit unions include America's Credit Union, Assemblies of God Credit Union, BluCurrent Credit Union, Community Financial Credit Union, CU Community Credit Union, Educational Community Credit Union, Mercy Credit Union, Metro Credit Union, Mid Missouri Credit Union, Springfield Catholic Credit Union and TelComm Credit Union.
"Area credit unions combine our fundraising efforts to make the largest impact," says Lipskoch. "We all want to help further that mission of 'people helping people.' After all, that's what we are all about!"
Continuing this support of CMNH, the Springfield Chapter of Credit Unions will be hosting its 17th annual Golfing for Kids Golf Tournament on Friday, Sept. 6, 2013, at the Rivercut Golf Course in Springfield. Stay tuned for details on the event.

I'm baffled and wondering if someone can advise me.
A couple of weeks back I snapped my rear hanger. I ordered 2 new ones (a brand called Pilo) a replacement and a spare, and this week got around to putting one on.
First ride on it yesterday and it snapped.
So in the evening I put the spare on, rode on it this afternoon (in a crit) and that one snapped!
I've had a quick look online to see whether whether it's Pilo that's the problem, but nothing is leaping out.
Worth mentioning that I think the original hanger breakage was due to the rear mech (di2) being faulty. It's now been replaced and today's breakage occurred with the new one on.
Also worth mentioning is that I've been using a hanger alignment tool when fitting.

Lap An Lagoon lies in Lang Co Town, Phu Loc District, Thua-Thien-Hue Province. Twenty years ago, the lagoon had about 100 hectares of mangroves. By 2010, there were only five hectares of poor quality mangrove left. This rapid decline was the result of conversion to aquaculture, unsustainable fishing, and road building. The remaining mangroves are now threatened by clearance for a golf course that forms part of the local government's master plan for the Chan May-Lang Co Economic Zone.
The MFF Small Grant Facility project "Community-based restoration and management of mangrove in Lap An Lagoon, Thua Thien Hue Province" will strengthen the capacity of local communities to protect the last patch of mangroves in the face of the proposed golf course.
On December 21-22, 2011, members of the MFF National Coordinating Body visited Lap An Lagoon and made recommendations on mangrove restoration, including a focus on enabling natural regeneration of the existing mangroves rather than planting mangroves, to the grantee, the Center for Community Research and Development (CCRD). A film crew joined the trip and shot a documentary film. To see the film, see below.

Teaching Philosophy--an Evolving Statement
The best way that I can describe my philosophy is that I try to reach out to students, to make them feel comfortable, to talk to them whenever I have an opportunity, whether in or out of the classroom. I acknowledge students and encourage them to achieve their maximum potential.
I try to guide them and work with them in the classroom. From the first day of class I utilize speech activities that are interactive, that require everyone to learn each other's names, and that starts a bonding process. Student questionnaires are completed that describe their background, career objectives, future goals, as well as their expectations about the course and the instructor.
I invite students to participate in a non-judgmental "workshop" where they can explore any fears about public speaking. Students receive constructive criticism about the content and delivery of their presentations both from the instructor (one-on-one verbal and written) and from their peers.
I try to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where students feel free to ask questions, make comments, and receive feedback about their presentations. I let students know that if they are looking for a challenge, or striving to reach their potential as a public speaker, or as a better communicator, then this class may enable them to meet their needs.
In the classroom, students have many speaking opportunities to improve or polish their speaking and listening skills. Those opportunities include speech support groups, student introductions, narrative presentations, demonstration speeches, analyzing famous speeches, informative speeches, persuasive speeches, and a debate. Students research, rehearse, and present material with the goal of enhancing their speech communication skills and abilities.
Students are asked to view two of their speeches and prepare written self-critiques. By viewing their speeches, students have an opportunity to witness their actual performance. While in the classroom these speaking opportunities create a practical setting that will prepare them for future business settings and every day life.
I believe that teaching is a life-long learning process. I share my career and academic background with students and try to relate to what they are experiencing in college and in society. I try to create an atmosphere that includes the respect and dignity of the students. I learn from students' presentations, feedback sessions, and oral and written critiques about the content and delivery of the course and the instruction.
I include the following statement at the end of the course syllabus:
"This course depends on your active participation and it will be as exciting, interesting, stimulating, and as fun, as the energy and enthusiasm that you bring to the class. The more you give, the more you will learn about your own strengths and limitations. You will also learn from and about your classmates and that you can be a part of their learning experience as well. Wishing you all the best in the days ahead!"

Modernism, an ideology that covers a range of styles, is rooted in the Russian and European avant-garde including Constructivism, Dada, De Stijl, Futurism, and the New Typography – movements which signaled a modernization of culture and society beginning in the early 20th century. Artists and designers made a conscious effort to reject ornamentation and historical styles, and instead chose to embrace abstract principles, clear communication, geometric forms and visual experimentation. graphic Modern presents Graphic Design as a fundamental component of the dissemination of early to late Modernism throughout the United States, Italy and Switzerland from the late 1930s to the middle of the 1960s. During these years, Modernism's distinctive graphic languages moved away from its political beginnings and emerged as an integral part of mass culture, extending from advertising and printed ephemera to corporate identity.
Bringing together over 75 works from Display, Graphic Design Collection, graphic Modern serves as an overview of this important period of design and features advertisements, periodical covers, posters and ephemera examples from design pioneers including: Herbert Bayer, Lester Beall, Robert Büchler, Confalonieri e Negri, Alan Fletcher, Karl Gerstner (Gerstner + Kutter), William Golden, Carl Graf, Franco Grignani, Max Huber, Lora Lamm, Matthew Leibowitz, Alvin Lustig, Herbert Matter, Fridolin Müller, Remo Muratore, Hans Neuburg, Erik Nitsche, Bob Noorda, Sigfried Odermatt, Giovanni Pintori, Paul Rand, Emil Ruder, Studio Boggeri, Albe Steiner, Ladislav Sutnar, Fred Troller, Massimo Vignelli, Carlo Vivarelli and Yves Zimmermann among others. The varied and unique styles and sensibilities of these designers are the foundation for the visual language of today and presumably, tomorrow. From the experimental to the playful to the rational, Modernism's strong idealism is a testament to its vitality and long standing. graphic Modern is a unique opportunity to view such a varied collection of items, many rarely exhibited in the United States.
graphic Modern is curated by Patricia Belen and Greg D'Onofrio – designers, writers and partners at Kind Company, an independent design office in New York City. Display, the website they founded in 2009, is a platform for research, writing and discoveries in graphic design history.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - After a disappointing end to the regular-season, the NCAA Tournament gave the Santa Clara University men's soccer team a chance to start over.
With a gutsy first round shutout over Ohio State Friday night, the Broncos have started their "second season" just like they did their first... with a victory provided by the foot of Peter Lowry.
The sophomore midfielder scored the game-winner in the 47th minute on a world-class free kick from 25 yards out to give Santa Clara a 1-0 victory over the Buckeyes in front of 1,143 fans at Buck Shaw Stadium.
The win advances to Broncos (13-8-2) to Tuesday's 1:30 matchup at seventh-seeded California at Edwards Stadium in Berkeley, Calif. Tickets can be purchased the day of the event only, outside Edwards Stadium, on the corner of Bancroft and Fulton. Adults are $8, seniors and youth are $5, and Cal students with ID are $5.
A total of seven yellow cards, all in the second half, were issued during the physical affair and the Buckeyes committed a game-high 28 fouls, compared to Santa Clara's 17. Santa Clara's Lowry (48'), Jamil Roberts (57') and Jeff Scott (66') were all booked during the match, while OSU's Brent Rohrer (49'), Xavier Balc (51') and Danny Irizarry (61') joined Buckeyes coach John Bluem in gathering yellow cards.
Bronco keeper Kevin Sweeney earned his eighth shutout of the season after stopping four of Ohio State's 10 shots. The San Jose, Calif. native was the beneficiary of a tough Bronco defense that bent on several occasions but did not break.
Just after halftime, Santa Clara earned a free kick when Rohrer fouled Lowry in the middle of the field, approximately seven yards from the top of the penalty area. The Fair Oaks, Calif. native stepped-up and blasted the free kick over the OSU wall, past goalkeeper Ray Burse and into the upper left corner of the goal.
The score was Lowry's fourth of the season and first that wasn't a penalty kick. He scored twice from the spot in SCU's 3-2 victory over then second-ranked UCLA to open the season and a third against Florida International in the Santa Clara adidas Classic.
The Buckeyes put pressure on Santa Clara in the final 10 minutes of the match, earning four corner kicks and taking five shots during that stretch. In the 90th minute, OSU's Antonio Garcia launched a shot from 12 yards in front of goal that sailed just over the crossbar.
Santa Clara moved to 7-1-1 in Buck Shaw Stadium the season and extended its home NCAA Tournament unbeaten streak to six matches, dating back to a regional finals loss to Portland in 1995. The Broncos improved to 10-2-1 in NCAA matches at home since 1973.

This morning, the Chronicle's Washington bureau has a front-page story asking an odd question: Where is Congressman Steve Stockman? It seems the Friendswood conservative, who is challenging U.S. Sen. John Cornyn in the Republican Primary, has missed every Congressional vote since Jan. 9, even skipping a vote against the new federal spending plan he vowed to opposed. He's also skipped all but one public campaign events in Texas this month.
Now, the Washington Examiner is asking an equally important question: Where WAS Steve Stockman? Specifically, where was he on Republican Primary day the last few election cycles? The paper says voting records from Harris and Galveston Counties show that Stockman was a no-show in every Texas primary since 2004. That means he didn't vote for his hero, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, in his hotly contested 2012 primary race. It also means he didn't vote for himself that year.
The Houston Chronicle reporters who investigated Stockman's financial disclosure lapses found that Stockman was not registered to vote in Texas until sometime before the 2012 general election. He did vote in that election. But Stockman likely was living in Virginia prior to the 2012 Republican Primary and could have participated in that election.
Still, that means he failed to vote for either Cruz — or himself — in the 2012 primary. For someone who is attempting to cast himself as Texas' next Ted Cruz, Stockman's voting record doesn't reflect a strong commitment.
Meanwhile, a message on Stockman's twitter account makes light of the media's effort's to locate him: "Where am I? Find out Monday," said a message posted early today.

Voldemort Types In D
Sometimes, the confluence of existing features can yield unexpected surprises. While I'd like to think that we designed Voldemort Types into the D programming language, the reality is that they were discovered by Andrei Alexandrescu. What are Voldemort Types? Read on.
First, a bit of background.
An InputRange in D is a type with the following members:
front - get the first element of the range popFront - remove the first element of the range empty - are there more elements in the range?
which form the basis of iteration. Just for fun, let's design an
InputRange that will return a sequence of random numbers, forever. (We can also call this a generator.)
It can look like this (not a very good random number generator, but it'll do for the moment):
module rnd; struct RandomNumberGenerator { this(uint seed) { next = seed; popFront(); // get it going } @property int front() { return ((next / 0x10000) * next) >> 16; } void popFront() { next = next * 1103515245 + 12345; } @property bool empty() { return false; } private: uint next; }
and a function that'll return it:
RandomNumberGenerator generator(uint seed) { return RandomNumberGenerator(seed); }
and a lovely program that will print out 10 such numbers:
import std.stdio; import rnd; void main() { int count; foreach (n; generator(5)) { writeln(n); if (++count == 10) break; } }
and the result is:
26298 25347 52004 26314 22713 9193 9426 118 36355 10786
That's where one would normally stop. But there's just something annoying about it. All I really care about is the
rnd.generator function, but yet there's this type
RandomNumberGenerator sitting out there by itself. It just looks like a failure of encapsulation, as it is leaking outside of my generator abstraction.
I could mark it with the private attribute and modules other than rnd won't be able to access it. But it's still there, outside the scope of where it belongs, and other module members can still access it, private or not (in D, private declarations are not hidden from other declarations within the same module). Besides, I want it to be so clean it squeaks.

Release Date: 2010 |
Album Rating: 4.0Better than the other review, thankfully. Awesome record, a definite step-up over their last one.
Digging: Dealer (AUS) - Soul Burn
Album Rating: 3.5Excellent first review. I'm glad they ditched the other male vocalist. Now if only Lacuna Coil would dump theirs.
Album Rating: 4.0123 although on Comalies he wasn't too bad.
Album Rating: 4.0great first review. Have a pos
Nice review u got mere. Album was destined for greatness the minute Brandon left.
The World Outside was the biggest load of bull ever. And a waste. This is above and beyond. I was really surprised.
Can't stop listening to this it's awesome. Vocal melodies are sick as hell and it's so catchy!
Cool review.
One problem though, Cisko didn't record this album, it was a session musician and right now he's getting a ton of backlash from ESTK fans.
Probably bc the guy sucks live. I don't know why they didn't just keep the guy that actually recorded the harsh vox.
Album Rating: 3.5That's kind if lame. So they got someone good for the album and then swapped him out with someone shitty for the concerts? Which one of the sisters is he fuckin?
Album Rating: 3.5I really appreciate the feedback.
And I wasn't aware that Cisko didn't record for this album; though, it makes sense considering the contrasting live performances. Haha, then again, ESTK has never had a solid live performance.
Album Rating: 4.0Good review. I really like this album. I think it's their best yet. Definitely a step up from "The World Outside" which I just found boring. Also, yes, the live screamer isn't very good, but the album screamer works very well. In my opinion they should have kept him on permanently. Hope to see this standard and more in their next release.
He's probably havin threesomes with both. Lucky shitty mothafucka
Album Rating: 3.5Really don't see why people are giving it higher scores than their previous ones. The guys vox are just as bad as Brandon's. The only thing that sticks out is Alexia's occasional raise in pitch.
Album Rating: 4.0Great Review. Record is one of my favourites of the year.
Album Rating: 3.5Who knew that the female vocalist released a solo album in October? Second question: has anyone heard it?
Album Rating: 3.5They have definitely improved, Alexia especially. As far as the screamers go... eh I can take or leave the new or old one. If it wasn't for Alexia's polished delivery I wouldn't have enjoyed this as much.
Yet I still like The World Outside better, too many memories from that album. It's not better in any aspect that should matter, just to me its more enjoyable.
Album Rating: 3.5One of the catchiest and funnest albums ive heard this year.
Album Rating: 4.0funnest

Summary View help for Summary
The Community Vulnerability and Responses to Drug-User-Related HIV/AIDS, 1990-2013 [96 Metropolitan Statistical Areas, United States] study (CVAR) was a research study of why large United States Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) vary over time in their vulnerability to HIV/AIDS among drug users and in MSA responses to HIV/AIDS. This collection contains estimates of HIV prevalence among people who injected drugs (PWID) and among sub-populations of PWID. This collection is comprised of ten datasets with differing amounts of variables and provides trend data that describe the following:
- Epidemiologic outcomes including population prevalence of PWIDs and Non-injecting drug users (NIDUs), and particularly their prevalence among youth; and, among PWIDs, HIV prevalence, late-diagnosis HIV cases, and AIDS incidence and mortality.
- Implementation of evidence-based drug-related interventions including drug abuse treatment, syringe exchange, HIV counseling and testing.
- Implementation of non-evidence-based drug-related interventions including incarceration and arrests of drug users.
The collection contains data on the MSA sub-populations including Black, Hispanic, White and "other" race categories. In addition, some statistics are presented in age range categories such as ages 15-29, 30-64 and 15-64.

Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose
This study was conducted to help understand the forces that shape metropolitan area HIV/AIDS epidemics and prevention programs and provide data to inform future policy making decision regarding HIV/AIDS. The study data are intended to provide information on several relationships including:
- How epidemiologic need and macro-social contexts such as economic changes, social integration, and residential segregation by race affect interventions.
- How interventions and macro-social contexts together affect epidemiologic contexts.
- How some interventions (e.g., arrests, incarceration) affect others (e.g., syringe exchange coverage).
- How some epidemiologic outcomes (e.g., prevalence of young IDUs) affect others (e.g., HIV prevalence).
Study Design View help for Study Design
Longitudinal trend data on 96 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States were compiled from secondary sources to provide information on epidemiologic factors, evidence based interventions, and non-evidence based intervention that contribute to changes in community vulnerability to drug-user-related HIV/AIDS. The principal investigators used these data to create novel variables.
Some of the secondary data sources used include:
- DS1: The United States Census
- DS2, DS3 and DS5: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration's (SAMHSA) Treatment Episode Data Sets (TEDS)
- DS4: The National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) Series

NEW YORK--Natural gas output in the U.S. is hitting record levels, but there's mounting evidence that the best days of the shale boom are over.
Government data released Tuesday show production climbed to 70.21 billion cubic feet in 2013. Output grew by just 1.5% from 2012, the slowest rate since output fell in 2005, before widespread use of new drilling technologies began to unlock massive quantities of natural gas from shale rock formations. The EIA is projecting output to rise by 2.1% in 2014 and 1.3% in 2015.
The slowdown has major implications for gas prices.
As abundant supplies flooded the market, benchmark U.S. gas prices have fallen, averaging $3.20 per million British thermal units over the past five years, down from close to $9/mmBtu in 2008.
Sustained bouts of cold weather this winter have eroded supplies, spiking prices to two-a-half-year highs near $4.50/mmBtu recently.
A return to pre-shale days when prices would spike above $13/mmBtu isn't in the cards, analysts say. However, slowing output could push prices back toward $6/mmBtu in coming years.
"All the growth has been in shale plays and they have a very high decline rate. The data are starting to reflect that," says Kyle Cooper, director of research at IAF Advisors, a Houston-based energy consultancy. "We are going to have to start drilling more wells just to stay even," he says, and higher prices will be needed to spur more drilling.
On Wednesday, natural-gas futures traded down at $4.216/mmBtu on the New York Mercantile Exchange as temperatures began to rise from record lows across the Midwest and Northeast. Prices at the benchmark Henry Hub terminal in Erath, La., the delivery point for the futures contract, averaged $3.73 per million British thermal units last year, jumping 35% from a year earlier. The EIA sees milder price increases of 4.3% this year and 5.7% in 2015.
Multiyear declines in flow from Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico continue to partly offset increases from fields in the Lower 48 states, but even output gains from shale-oil fields have slowed their pace.
EIA's latest detailed figures, for October 2013, show gas production from "other states," or those outside traditional producing areas such as Louisiana and Texas, increased year-on-year by 1.6%. That's in line with average annual growth rates in each month since January 2010 but below the January 2012 rise of 2.7%, EIA data show.
Even though overall supplies aren't rising as quickly, improving infrastructure means local shortages, such as the one seen on the East Coast this week that briefly drove prices to $90/mmBtu in some locations, will become less likely, analysts say.
Biliana Pehlivanova, head of gas and power research at Barclays in New York, says the higher Marcellus flow means that Northeast will be able to full meet its gas need by next winter. Already regional producers are looking to ship gas to neighboring regions to avoid supply logjams and keep prices more in line with the Henry Hub benchmark, analysts says.
The EIA said outside of peak-demand winter months, gas will often be cheaper in the Northeast than in areas like Louisiana that have traditionally had the most abundant gas supplies.
"Consequently, some drilling activity may move away from the Marcellus back to Gulf Coast plays such as the Haynesville and Barnett" in Texas and Louisiana, "where prices are closer to the Henry Hub spot price." Texas is the nation's biggest consumer of natural gas.

The Tour is located 20 miles from Central London at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, where the Harry Potter movies were filmed. Tickets won't be available for sale at the attraction, they must be booked online through the official website or via a site like Brit Movie Tours.
When you go into the tour, a cinema shows you clips of why the Philosophers Stone became a film. The film will end with Ron, Harry and Hermione going into the Great Hall. The screen will lift up, revealing the actual Great Hall. Then you go into a room including props from the Yule Ball, wigs and costumes. Across from it there is a large caldron and Malfoy Manner, the Potions classroom, containing Snape and Slughorns outfits and The Griffindor common room. Then you can see cars and motorbikes, and from there you may go broomstick flying and appear to be flying in a Ford Anglia. Then there is the Ministry and Ministry-run aspects, such as the Daily Prophet, next to the Weasley house and the Death Eaters. Outside there is Privet Drive, the Knight bus, Butterbeer, the Potter Cottage, and the Hogwarts Bridge. Then you go into the model studio, with Dobby, Aragog, Griphook and more. You then go into Diagon Alley, preceeded by sketch rooms. Down a corridor, there is a large model of Hogwarts used for exterior shots within railings, so you go down the ramp and see it all. You are then in a small room like Olivanders. Each box has on it the name of a person even vaguely involved in Harry Potter, with a man there to lend you his wand so you can have a photo of you pointing to your faviorate. You then led to the gift shop, where you can by anything from Extendable Ears and Pygmy Puffs to the Weighing of The Wands set and Hermiones Yule Ball Gown, as well as a vast selection from Honeydukes, the Hogwarts clothing shop which seems to have opened, and wands from most characters from Harry to Narcissa.
There is a large giftshop and a cafe that sells Butterbeer.Harry Potter film series cast and crew members Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch, Warwick Davis, David Thewlis, Helen McCrory, George Harris, Nick Moran, Natalia Tena, David Bradley, Alfie Enoch, Harry Melling, David Heyman, David Barron, David Yates, Alfonso Cuaron and Mike Newell, attended Warner Bros.

Personalised Cherished Number Plates
Since their humble beginning in 1903, cherished numbers have continued to increase in popularity often adding the finishing touch to our prized possessions and very often prove to be a valuable investment.
The First Number Plate Ever Issued
A1 assigned in 1903
The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904, required all motor vehicles to be entered on an official vehicle register, and to carry number plates. The Act was passed in order that vehicles could be easily traced in the event of an accident or contravention of the law. Vehicle registration number plates in the UK are rectangular or square in shape, with the exact permitted dimensions of the plate and its lettering set down in law.
You can find out where your personalised registration number plate was originally issued here.
A Swede with a passion for offensive number plates has failed in his cause yet again, after transport authorities denied two of his latest attempts to create 'offensive' personalised plate combinations.
The man, from Varberg in southern Sweden, gained some media attention last year when he attempted to register a personal licence plate reading "3JOH22A".
The Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) rejected the licence plate request on the grounds of it being offensive, the reason for which is made clear when the combination is reflected in a mirror.
The same man has now made two further attempts to change his plate to "8UTT5EX" and "X32TTU8" respectively, but they were also denied, as they too could be considered offensive.
If not immediately obvious, the explanation for rejecting the latter combination is once again made clear when a mirror is introduced to the equation.
"We get a lot of requests and some of them are very subtle. Many see it as a sport to try and get a word through. This one was quite easy to reject," Eva Isaksen from the Swedish Transport Agency told public broadcaster SVT.
The Transport Agency's rules state that a personalised number plate "may not be designed if it causes offence or harm to anyone else," including allusions to alcohol, drugs, sex, swearwords, religion or criminality.
For the motorist who has everything, including a sense of humour! - Reg Plate Special Cherished number plate dealer Image Registrations are offering a unique opportunity for the savvy motorist to show they have the vehicle, the reg plate and a sense of humour! The East Yorkshire based company are marketing the ultimate reg plate to make a tongue in cheek statement.
car registration VUL 64R is offered for sale at £3395, a snip compared to the 'phantom' or 'hummer' it may well end up displayed on.
We think this registration plate will appeal to clients who have all the toys and appreciate the fun aspect of this unique reg number plate" said Bruno Morris at Image Registrations. He went on to say "the plate reads so well as it is almost a prefect spelling of vulgar!".
VUL 64R can be purchased now through Image Registrations, online at www.regplates.com or by telephone on 01482 627 628."
On average, the city RTOs earn close to Rs 12-14 crore annual revenue from the sale of special numbers. The number '1' can fetch a maximum of Rs 12 lakh if it is not available in the current running series and is purchased from a future series. A two-wheeler owner can buy the special number for Rs 1.5 lakh. At the Andheri RTO, large TV screens display information on VIP numbers.
The latest statistics show that Pune tops all RTOs when it comes to selling the special registration numbers, while Mumbai comes fifth.
While Pune RTO has sold 30,366 numbers and fetched a revenue of Rs 23.45 crore, this was followed by Nashik RTO where 27,545 VIP numbers were sold to citizens at a cost of Rs 19.59 crore. At Thane, as many as 10,744 special numbers were sold to fetch a revenue of Rs 9.98 crore while Kolhapur sold 10,611numbers for Rs 7.3 crore.
The craze for getting a VIP number began in the northern states," said an official. For example, in Punjab, there have been cases of farmers buying VIP numbers for lakhs of rupees in auction. In 2012, a Chandigarh businessman purchased registration number CH-01-AN-0001 for Rs 17 lakh. The number AK-47 is also popular in Punjab and sold for Rs 3 lakh to Rs 5 lakh almost every year.
On Saturday an Emirati businessman bought the distinctive Dubai car plate number AA10 after posting the winning bid of 3.12 million dirhams during the Roads and Transport Authority's (RTA) 97th 'Open Plates Auction'.
Majid Mustafa, who has been participating in the RTA auctions since 2002, told the UAE-based publication that he will keep the AA10 number plate for his personal use and mount it on one of his numerous cars.
The RTA's year-end auction raised a total of 12.75 million dirhams this time around and saw nine other AA code plates, including 12, 50, 100, 333, 786, 1000, 8888, 11111, and 55555 going under the hammer.
Mustafa also said that he has owned a total of 5,000 special plates, many of which he already traded and gained profitable margins. At a price of 6 million dirhams, the most expensive plate he has ever acquired was I10.
During the auction on Saturday, the second most expensive plate went to Essa Al Habbai who bought AA12 for 2.72 million dirhams.
Another Emirati won the bidding for the third most expensive plate, AA50, priced at 1.84 million dirhams, while a 44-year-old Lebanese expat acquired AA11111 for 1.21 million dirhams.
"I will mount it on my Lamborghini..."
Another Emirati, 32-year-old businessman Jaber Khamis, won the number AA333 after bidding 700,000 dirhams for it.
"The plate (AA333) is really special. I will mount it on my Lamborghini but I might also sell it if I find the right buyer who will offer a really good price," Khamis told Khaleej Times.
At the auction, RTA also unveiled a new design for Dubai number plates. It will feature the Dubai brand logo, and the letters and digits will be printed in black on white background.
In October, RTA already raised 25 million dirhams at the 'Open Plates Auction'.
"The number auctions organized by the RTA are characterized by transparency and enthusiasm. They measure up to the aspirations of customers who seek exclusivity in this regard. Such auctions suffice the needs and aspirations of number plate enthusiasts, and reflect RTA's keenness to realize its third strategic goal of 'People Happiness'," said Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO of RTA's Licensing Agency at the time.
$30,000 for personalised plates? Tell him he's dreaming.
Gracemere man Chase Ferguson's "for sale" post attracted plenty of attention overnight, but probably not the kind he was after.
Ironically, the $30K price tag he's placed on a set of "no idea" personalised number plates has spurred a thread of witty remarks and memes, but few interested buyers.
"Two standard size prestige plates. NO IDEA. Excellent condition still on vehicle. $30 000 or nearest offer," he posted to the Rockhampton Buy, Swap, Sell Facebook page on Sunday night.
It comes as the Rockhampton was found to have the second-highest number of personalised plates in the state, with 3644 residents pimping their rides.
The region sits next in line to the Sunshine Coast (5598), which trumps the regions of Mackay (3012); Gladstone (1072); Bundaberg (1072); Fraser Coast (766); Warwick (305) and Gympie (602).
While some are saying Chase's asking price is exorbitant, $30,000 is a bargain compared to some sellers who are asking up in the hundreds-of-thousands-of-dollars.
Rodney Gilchrist has taken up "dream" real estate on the personalised plate front, buying up DREAM1, DREAM2, DREAM3, DREAM4, DREAM5 and DREAM6 and re-selling for $300,000.
The number plates have been on the market for about 12 months, as the church pastor patiently waits for a cashed-up fleet manager to buy the plates.
Chase Ferguson has been contacted for comment.
If none of the above appeal to the rev head in you, here are some of the top-dollar plates up for grabs online:
HEART: The most expensive plates in the state, but the seller suggests a heart surgeon may have the $50,000 needed to snap them up.
Since the dvla introduced the bsau145d legislation it has been increasingly difficult for motorists to obtain number plates with anything other than legal spacing.
There is however another line of argument for the defence of the serial mis spacer. They say that a number plate that has been altered to make a word or a name is much more memorable in the event of an incident.
They also argue that the dvla blatantly auction registration numbers that would be virtually worthless without mis spacing.
In fact, when the DVLA issues a car's registration plate, they actually follow a very distinct system.
While it may look like a random combination, a number plate can actually tell you how old the car is and where it was registered.
A new format for registrations was introduced in September 2001, meaning all cars registered after that date would have their number plate made up of three parts.
How to tell where the car is from
The first section of a number plate is the local memory tag – the first two letters of the plate.
This identifies where the vehicle was registered, and is itself broken down into two parts.
The first letter stands for the local area, for example E denotes Essex, while L stands for London.
The plate's second letter then identifies at which DVLA office in that area the registration took place – multiple letters can signify the same DVLA office.
How anyone can tell how old your car is just by looking at it
The two numbers in the middle of your plate identify how old the car is.
The DVLA issues two lots of number plate combinations each year on March and September 1st.
All plates issued between the 1 March and the end of August will use the same two numbers as the year they are registered.
For example, a car registered in May 2017 would have "17".
Vehicles registered between September 1 and the end of February the following year, use a similar pattern of higher numbers.
When the format changed in 2001, this group of vehicles were identified differently by starting the labelling from "51" rather than "01".
Therefore this second lot of numbers will always be 50 plus the year the car was registered – so after 2010, the number starts with a 6.
For example, a vehicle registered in December 2009 will show "59" on its plate but December 2011 will be "61".
Is any of the plate random?
The final three letters of the number plate tend to be a random combination that make the registration unique.
But it's not uncommon for cars with neighbouring letter sequences to be from the same manufacturer, due to batch allocation of new registrations to dealers by the DVLA.
The letters "Q" and "I" are excluded from the random sequence, along with any phrases that are deemed offensive.
Using the current scheme, there will be a sufficient combinations to last until the end of February 2051.
What about registrations before September 2001?
From 1983 onward, licence plates used a leading single letter to represent the year of first registration.
The letter "A" was used in 1983, progressing through the alphabet, finishing with "Y" at the end of August 2001.
The rest of the characters on the plate were random.
Prior to 1983, the same system was used, but with the year letter at the end of the plate rather than the beginning.
A PETITION against a police chief's decision to sell the first number plate issued to the county has gathered over 850 signatures.
Retired police constable Alan Matthews started the online petition after he found out that the 'AB 1' licence plate was up for auction.
Police enthusiasts have lambasted the decision to sell the plate, which has traditionally been used on the staff cars of Worcestershire's Chief Constables.
West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) John Campion claims the sale will enable him to invest in frontline policing.
Mr Matthews, aged 69, who worked for West Mercia Police from 1985 to 1994, said: "It's a piece of police heritage that shouldn't be sold off.
"It was the original number that the chief had. I just think that there's other ways the PCC could save money.
"I'm getting quire ratty about it. When you have been in the police you see how much waste there is.
"It's a sad thing that people in the UK have so much history but don't think much of it."
Jon Cherry, the director of regplates.com, thinks the plate will sell for between £225,000 and £275,000.
He said: "We have sold similar plates recently at this level and the market for high quality original issue number 1 plates is very strong.
"The buyers of these are intent on having only the best and only this plate will suffice!"
Mr Campion said his priority is use the assets at his disposal to make West Mercia a safe place.
"The prospect of a chief constable or any public servant using a private number plate belongs in a time gone by, both for security reasons and public expectation," he said.
"Therefore a considered decision has been made to market 'AB 1' and any sale proceeds will be reinvested towards frontline policing in West Mercia."
He acknowledged the history behind the plate but said it had not been used for around six years.
A spokesman for Mr Campion said he was not selling anything else apart from the number plate.
Vehicle registration was introduced in 1903 and it is believed 'AB 1' was first issued to Worcestershire's Chief Constable Herbert Sutherland Walker in 1908.
In 1989 a lot of these stored old models were registered in advance of legislation that required all new vehicles registered on or after 1 January 1990 to have catalytic converters fitted. This included vehicles held in storage and out of production for several years, in some cases five years or more. By the late 1990s, the range of available numbers was once again starting to run out, exacerbated by a move to biannual changes in registration letters (March and September) in 1999 to smooth out the bulge in registrations every August, so a new scheme needed to be adopted. It was decided to research a system that would be easier for crash or vehicle related crime witnesses to remember and clearer to read, yet still fit within a normal standard plate size.

In addition to horse shows, Foxfield offers a "Little Sisters" Program every summer.
Between June and September, Foxfield offers ten of its most dedicated younger students "Big Sister" mentors. Throughout the summer, Big Sisters offer their Little Sisters a series of lectures and hands-on tutorials that teach not just riding, but grooming, horse-care and all-round horsemanship.
At summer's end, the Little Sisters are put to the test over two consecutive weekends. On the first weekend, they demonstrate their newfound knowledge on a written exam. A week later, a one day competition--in which the Little Sisters must groom, braid and ride an unfamiliar horse with no assistance from anyone--tests their practical skills.

A pensioner whose house was destroyed in a gas explosion miraculously survived the blast after a wardrobe fell on her and saved her life.
The blast last night was so powerful it blew out the windows of every house on the street in Cheltenham and could be heard half a mile away.
Neighbours of the woman, named locally as Betty Hodgkiss, said it was a miracle no one was seriously injured in the explosion.
Scroll down for video
Roof: Tiles were torn from one of the neighbouring terraced homes, but the roof of the second was untouched
The devastating blast ripped through the property in Rosehill Street sending debris shooting 50ft into the air.
The pensioner was buried under rubble and it took firefighters nearly two hours to rescue her from the rubble.
Amazingly she somehow avoided serious injury and was still conscious when she was finally pulled from the debris.
Witness Jules Annan said: 'It's almost unbelievable that no one was killed. The damage was so bad that anyone walking down the street at the time would likely be dead.
'Betty survived after a wardrobe fell on her and protected her from the worst of the blast. The street looks like the pictures you see of The Blitz.
'The houses on either side and across the road have all been condemned and the windows have been blasted out for streets around.
'I was having dinner with a friend who lives opposite at about 8pm last night when it happened. The noise was just incredible.
'It's amazing nobody was walking down the street at the time as the whole house was completely destroyed.'
Cold light of day: the house opposite is visible after a gas explosion totally destroyed a terraced home
Aftermath: Neighbours were left surveying the devastation which has affected every house in the street
The force of the blast blew Betty's front door off its hinges and sent it flying through the window of a house across the street.
A bewildered young woman, believed to live next-door to the explosion, was found up perched on top of a pile of rubble.
She was led to safety by passers-by and is also believed to have avoided being seriously hurt.
Residents on Rosehill Street described today how they also cheated death as debris were hurled up the road.

Teens make mistakes.
And sometimes those mistakes are serious � and illegal.
Editor�s note: This is the third article in a three-part series looking at juvenile defendants and the court system.
Teens make mistakes.
And sometimes those mistakes are serious � and illegal.
But for those who find themselves on the wrong side of the law, there is a possible way to keep from having a permanent felony record: youth court or deferred prosecution.
�(Youth Court) is for first-time juvenile offenders ages 11-17, and diverts them from the regular court system,� Karin Lucas, director of the Youth Court Diversion Program, said.
Youth Court allows juveniles to be tried by their peers. There is an adult judge in place, but all other members of the court, including the jury, are teens who volunteer and receive SAT hours for their time.
The program is important to the community because it keeps a lot of cases out of the regular court�s load, Lucas said.
�It allows intake counselors and the courts to focus on the more serious crimes,� she said. �It allows them to focus more of their time, energy and resources on those children.�
When a teen goes to youth court and successfully finishes his or her sentence, that crime will no longer be on their record, Lucas explained.
�They get an opportunity to pay for what they have done, give back for what they�ve done and take ownership of what they�ve done,� she said.
A sentence in Youth Court can include up to 20 hours of community service, mandatory learning seminars and seven jury duties in Youth Court. All Youth Court defendants have to come back to serve on juries for other offenders, Lucas said.
�There is recidivism but it is very low,� she said. �Last year, I served 127 kids, and only two of them reoffended.�
Many of the juveniles instead return to the program after finishing their sentence to volunteer, Lucas said.
Volunteers with the program gain not only SAT hours, but critical thinking and public speaking skills as well. Defendants do not have to accept a referral to Youth Court, Lucas said. They can move on to Juvenile Court, where, if convicted, the crime remains on their juvenile record.
�It really is the kids teaching the kids,� she said. �I help them and guide them, but I also watch them do what they do best.�
Courtney Roe, a senior at Dixon High School, has been volunteering with Youth Court for four years now.
�I definitely think it is effective,� she said. �I�ve seen kids that went through a year or two ago, and now they�re not the same person.�
Roe said Youth Court is a good program because it keeps kids from getting that permanent mark on their record when they�ve only messed up once.
�We�re giving these kids a chance to start fresh, to go to college, to have a brighter future,� she said.
Though 16 and 17 year olds are seen as adults in the eyes of N.C. state law when it comes to criminal activity, according to Onslow County District Attorney Ernie Lee, some of them still can end up in the Youth Court program. While many of them will be sent straight to adult court for misdemeanor crimes, some petitions to Youth Court are still sent from school resource officers, the Onslow County Sheriff�s Office and the Jacksonville Police Department. Lucas explained that those petitions must be sent to Youth Court prior to reaching the department of juvenile justice, unless they are petitions for being undisciplined, things like cursing at parents or bad behavior, for example.
�I let 16-17 year olds know how lucky they are that they made it to this program,� Lucas said. �They can send them directly to adult court, and the intake counselors wouldn�t be able to refer them back to me.�
Roe said that volunteering for Youth Court gives teens more insight about that distinct line between ages 15 and 16.
�It drives the point home,� she said. �If you were one year older, you wouldn�t be sitting here (in Youth Court). If you�re only 16 or 17, it�s not a slap on the wrist. You�re going to court, and it is big trouble.�
Another option for 16 and 17 year olds who do move on to the adult court system is deferred prosecution.
Deferred prosecution is a program that allows an individual to come into court and take responsibility for the acts that were committed by entering a plea, Lee said.
�As a result of that, we�re going to try to get restitution for the victims, have the offender do community service, etc,� he said.
Lee said if the offender successfully completes the probationary sentence through deferred prosecution, cases can be dismissed and expunged from the offender�s record.
�It gives someone a way to avoid having a criminal record,� he said.
Deferred prosecution is not offered to everyone.
�We take first-time offenders with relatively less serious offenses,� he said. �Our job is to see that justice is done and make sure the interest of justice is carried out.
�Sometimes I have an individual age 16 or 17, who is treated as an adult by the laws in N.C. Is it right that they should have a felony on their record forever?�
Lee said for deferred prosecution, the DA�s office will primarily look at property crimes and other non-violent offenses where someone can be made whole again by replacing property or paying restitution.
The DA said he�s seen many success stories come out of the program.
�I ran into one individual many years ago, who was charged with breaking and entering into an automobile,� Lee said. �I entered a deferred prosecution, and I had some doubts whether I ought to do it or not, but I did. He was 17 at the time.�
The DA said he saw the same person several years later and he had straightened his life out.
�He thanked me. He said once he finished (his probationary sentence), he went and got his GED, went to college, got married and had a baby. He thanked me because (if I hadn�t entered him into deferred prosecution) he would have had a felony conviction on his record.
�Sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn�t,� Lee added. �It really is a second chance.�

By VINCE LUECKE, Editor
A round of paintballing with some of Perry County generally peaceable police officers left me smarting last week. All I can say is that I received no justice.
I began the day optimistic that I was going to hold my own in a few rounds of paintball with Tell City cops and state troopers. I sulked home that night with bruises to my legs, arms and shoulder. My battle wounds included a swollen testicle and while that may be too much information, the worst damage was done to my ego.
I used to paintball with friends on occasion, but never developed the lust some harbor for hunting other people.
Lest anyone not be familiar with the art of shooting paintballs, it's a version of playing cowboy as a child. The weapons are a little more sophisticated, but the game is the same, kill or be killed.
I invested in a good gun, which fires thumbnail sized paintballs with enough force to leave bruises. The paintballs splatter, of course and there lies the proof in whether you've been hit or not. When kids we used to fight over whether the invisible bullets we fired found their marks.
The first matches were in the woods. I knew I was in trouble when one trooper showed up with two ATVs and a small arsenal of guns and paintball. He also had camo clothes, a fancy visor to protect his eyes and ears and even gloves to prevent painful shots to his fingers.
All I had was a gun, paintballs and a simple mask. I donned a handsome black handkerchief a cop's wife tied over my head and posed for a group photo I hope never becomes public.
The first game was boring. I was assigned by my commando leader to protect the rear our our five-person squad but none of the enemy came my way.
Round 2 began just as it was getting dark and was disastrous. Trying to walk over a ridge to circle around the enemy, a Tell City officer who is normally very polite blasted me from a perilously close distance. The paintballs slammed me on the leg and I squealed in a way that was surely embarrassing to paintballers the world over.
Had I kept my wits, I would have dropped to the ground and fired back since in our set, rules of the game – regulations that carried little weight later that night – only torso shots counted as kills. I was only wounded and could have kept fighting.
Thankfully, the officer's son, a brave little paintballer himself, had tripped and fallen.
We made a quick truce, retrieved the lad from a tangle of limbs and exited the woods.
The real war was in the host trooper's barn that night and resulted in close-quarters shooting that I didn't much care for. I tried squeezing in a too-narrow space between round hay bales and a wood partition, but that didn't provide me any vantage point. I surrendered when one of the other team's players cornered me. Another embarrassing defeat.
Someone suggested a final round and while I knew I should have hung up my gun, I agreed. Me and a trooper's wife were up against her husband and another trooper. The first trooper quickly eliminated his wife and while I tried shooting around a corner, was nipped hard in the finger. I yelled, flailing my hand as she walked out. She tried whispering his location, which I suppose was against the rules, since she was "dead."
It was about then I heard the awful "toof, toof, toof," of a nearby paintball gun and and felt pain shooting up the side of my leg as a series of balls splattered from my shin to my hip. The other enemy trooper had left the barn, a serious rules violation, flanked my position and was firing at me point-blank. I made the mistake of turning slightly and the balls that had been tagging the outside of my leg began hitting my inside thigh. At least one hit me in a nearby tender spot. I fell to my knees.
The shooter laughed. I let fly a string of profanities into the night air. I just hope the kids playing cornhole and roasting s'mores nearby didn't hear me. I was done for the night, sore, mad and worse, feeling defeated.
The victors whooped it up. I went home, whipped.
I've since recovered. The bruises have changed colors a few times and are mostly gone. But the hurt of losing remains and won't be wiped away until I get revenge.
I'm working on just that. I'll invite the whole gang to an old barn on my farm for another round. I'm also recruiting other cops for my team.
In the meantime I'll hone my aim. Defeat is agonizing. Victory will no doubt be thrilling.
But revenge will truly be sweet.
