Glamping Ireland on The Aran Islands, Co. Galway.
Aran Camping and Glamping is situated on Inis Mór, the largest of the three Aran Islands in the mouth of Galway Bay, on the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland.
The Aran Islands are renowned for their stunning beauty and slower pace of life. For anyone looking for a place to get away from it all, it's hard to think of somewhere better! Wild, untamed cliffs, jaw dropping landscapes, sweeping views, and local traditions and heritage that go back thousands of years are just some of the attractions. This is Ireland as it used to be.
Inis Mor Island, the perfect place to go Glamping in Ireland
There are 3 Aran islands, the largest of which is Inis Mor. It is here that a growing number of people each year are deciding to take an Ireland getaway break, due to the variety of things to see and do. Whether staying for a night, a week, or more, there always seem to be a part of Inis Mor still waiting to be discovered!
Aran Islands Camping and Glamping
The newly opened Aran Islands Camping and Glamping site on Inis Mor is pleased to welcome guests from Ireland and abroad who want to experience this unique part of Ireland over a few days. Offering newly constructed glamping pods as well as traditional camping facilities, it is an ideal base from which outdoor lovers and holidaymakers can explore the island. A treasured memory of any visit to Ireland.
About Inis Mor Glamping
The camping and glamping site is conveniently located just a short walk away from Kilronan, the main town on Inis Mor. With great views over Frenchman's Beach and the ocean, it's careful design and purpose built facilities make it one of the most unique, and newest, camping and glamping sites in Ireland.
Glamping on Inis Mor, The Aran Islands, Ireland
Aran Islands Camping and Glamping has 9 specially designed glamping pods, with each one able to accommodate up to four people. These Clochán na Carraige, or Clochans for short, have a design based on the look of the old beehive shaped stone huts that can still be found on parts of the island and around Ireland. Whereas these huts were quite Spartan abodes used by reclusive monks, the Cochlans are the complete opposite. They are fully self-contained and equipped with everything you need to feel as though you are at home from the moment your step through the door. You can find out more about the glamping pods by looking at the menu option on this page.
Camping on Inis Mor, The Aran Islands, Ireland
In addition to the glamping pods, Aran Islands Camping and Glamping also provides numerous tent pitches on 3 organic grass fields. The recently completed shower block, camp kitchen and social areas provide all the facilities you need when camping, and there is also a laundry machine available. Just the thing if you need to wash or dry clothes after a day spent hiking or doing some other outdoor activity!
What to see and do on Inis Mor
You can divide your time on Inis Mor between visiting the island's main attractions, and simply seeing where the road or path will take you. Due to its relatively compact size, cycling is the best way to get to the further ends of the island, whilst hiking is perfect for exploring the cliffs and walking paths. During your stay at Aran islands Camping and Glamping, you can pick any or all of these main attractions to add to your sightseeing itinerary in Ireland.
Dun Aengus
The most important attraction on the island is this impressive stone fort, thought to date back over two thousand years. Visitors marvel at its construction, and also the incredible views which can be enjoyed from along the cliffs here.
The Worm Hole
This rectangular hole at the bottom of a cliff looks so perfect you can almost imagine it was manmade. It is, however, a natural phenomena. On occasion, The Red Bull Cliff Diving Championships were held at the Worm Hole.
The Beache's
Inis Mor has several beautiful clear beaches that follow the coastline of Inis Mór. One of them is adjacent to Aran Camping Glamping and is named Frenchman's Beach. Another is Kilmurvey beach which is just below Dun Aonghasa.
Festivals and Special Events
Inis Mor is developing a reputation in Ireland as a place for unique events and festivals. Many different types are held throughout the year, with there being three most popular with visitors to Ireland. The first is the fun TedFest, which is part fan convention, part festival based on the ever popular TV comedy Father Ted. The second is Patrun, an event which brings the inhabitants of all 3 Aran Islands of Ireland together to compete in various games. The third one is the Ireland St. Patrick's Day Parade, which is marked by a procession and other activities throughout the day.

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, California - December 06, 2012
Dole Food Company, Inc. (NYSE: DOLE) today announced that it has moved much closer to completing the sale of its worldwide packaged foods and Asia fresh businesses to ITOCHU Corporation for $1.685 billion in cash, with stockholder approval of the sale at today's special meeting of stockholders held at the Dole headquarters in Westlake Village, California. The transaction has already received required regulatory approval in six of seven reviewing countries, and both Dole and ITOCHU are continuing to work toward consummating the sale by December 31, 2012, subject to final regulatory approval from China.
The consummation of the sale will result in a substantial portion of Dole's operations being sold to ITOCHU, with the new Dole having a smaller footprint with two lines of fresh produce businesses: fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. The Dole operations will no longer include the worldwide packaged foods and Asia fresh businesses, resulting in overall revenue for the new Dole in the approximate $4.2 billion range with revenue from its fresh fruit business line being reduced in size by approximately 30%.
Dole will be putting in place a new capital structure at the time of consummation of the sale which, together with substantially all the proceeds from the sale transaction, will be used to pay off existing indebtedness and to provide funding for transaction-related taxes, costs and expenses, the possible settlement of some or all of Dole's long-term Japanese yen hedges, anticipated post-closing restructuring expenses and other corporate purposes. It is expected that the new Dole will benefit from a significant reduction in interest expense and a substantially reduced leverage ratio on a going forward basis.
"This is a transformative transaction for our company and we are pleased to have received stockholder approval today," said David H. Murdock, Dole's Chairman. "While Dole's fresh produce business will be significantly smaller and is continuing to experience declining earnings in a continued difficult economic environment both in the United States and in Europe, I am very optimistic about the long-term future of Dole and its prospects. We will remain an industry leader in the sourcing, distribution and marketing of bananas, pineapples and other tropical fruits, packaged salads, fresh-packed vegetables and fresh berries. With the planned substantial reduction in debt and the eventual lower cost structure from right-sizing our organization, Dole will be well positioned to pursue growth opportunities within the fresh produce industry."
Dole also announced planned leadership changes in connection with the sale transaction. Mr. Murdock will return to the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and C. Michael Carter will assume the added role of President and Chief Operating Officer with all operating and corporate functions reporting to him. Mr. Carter will also be rejoining Dole's board. In addition, Keith C. Mitchell, current chief financial officer of Dole's North American Fresh Fruit business, will become Chief Financial Officer; A. Charlene Mims, currently responsible for benefits and payroll, will lead Human Resources; and both Beth Potillo, current Treasurer, and Yoon J. Hugh, current Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, will become Senior Vice Presidents with added responsibilities.
"These are important leadership changes as we work toward right-sizing Dole and refocusing our businesses for growth," said Mr. Murdock. "Michael Carter is a talented leader with a results-oriented operational focus, who as Dole's Executive Vice President and General Counsel has worked with me in leading Dole through our most significant strategic events and challenges, since joining Dole in October 2000. Michael brings years of experience in a number of industries, with a varied history of operational and legal roles. I am confident in his ability to right-size Dole and deliver synergies within our remaining businesses."
As part of the transition, David A. DeLorenzo, current President and Chief Executive Officer, will be joining ITOCHU to lead the newly acquired Asia fresh and worldwide packaged foods businesses, and will be leaving Dole's board. Joseph S. Tesoriero, current Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Sue Hagen, current Senior Vice President Human Resources, will be leaving Dole in connection with the sale transaction. "David DeLorenzo will be missed, and I have nothing but appreciation and admiration for this long-term Dole executive and close personal friend," said Mr. Murdock. "Joseph Tesoriero has provided leadership at Dole during key milestone events in his ten years with us, and I am personally grateful for his many contributions. Sue Hagen's professionalism and skill as a human resources executive has served us well during her 26 years at Dole, and I appreciate her continued focus on Dole's most valued assets, its employees."
"I am eagerly looking forward to working more closely with David Murdock and Dole's extraordinarily talented and experienced operational and corporate management team and dedicated and energetic employees throughout our organization," said Mr. Carter. "Our resulting business profile will have lower fixed costs and hence more operating flexibility, with more clarity and focus, allowing us to dedicate our resources more fully to operating and growing our remaining fresh fruit and vegetable businesses. Our new capital structure will also provide us with increased flexibility, and will allow us to react quickly to any acquisition opportunities in the commodity produce sector, which we expect would be funded by anticipated new borrowings and future internally generated free cash flow."

The Dead Architects Society
A resurgence of interest in Gilded Age mansions has some buyers clamoring after the work of lesser-known, regional architects who practiced decades ago.
In Santa Barbara, Calif., the hot architect in town is George Washington Smith. In Charlottesville, Va., it's Eugene Bradbury. And in the small town of Washington, Conn., homes by Ehrick Rossiter are prized. These architects have a few things in common: They're long dead, they're relatively unknown outside the small, affluent pockets where they practiced in the early 20th century and they've all made a comeback.
Prospective buyers now ask real-estate agents for these architects by name, and are willing to pay a premium for...

Home / BA Degree in TESOL
For those who want to teach English as a foreign language abroad, some countries require teachers to have a recognized degree. Without this degree, many potential candidates are considered out of the running for potential positions before they have had the opportunity to even apply.
If this applies to you, then Siam Technology College's International Program, Bachelors Degree in TESOL, is the perfect opportunity. Siam Technology College offers you the chance to work and earn money in Thailand, while working towards your degree in an educational facility fully accredited by the Thai Ministry of Education.
We offer the chance to obtain an extremely marketable BA in TESOL + Diplomas in Language Acquisition, Phonology, Morphology and Syntax and TESOL Methodology, with the following unique benefits:
All of this is available for a very affordable fee.
While studying for this degree you could be earning between 35,000 and 50,000 baht every month, the typical range for native-speaking foreign teachers in Thailand. Please note that a non-immigrant 'B' visa is required for a work permit in Thailand. The paperwork for this visa is usually provided by your employer.
Already teaching without a degree? Not a problem! The course will not affect your work commitments. The only full-time commitment you need to give us is for three one-month intensive periods In March, April and October. This will mean you should not have to miss a day of work.
Should you need an ED visa, Siam Technology College can offer the appropriate paperwork. The three-year ED visa this course provides will also save you countless time on visa runs, not to mention the added expense!
The total cost of the program is 120,000 Thai baht (US$ at today's rates) over three years. Additionally there is an annual administration fee of 5,000 baht (US$ today).
The breakdown of the payment is as follows:
Tha BA TESOL degree can be completed in three (minimum) to seven (maximum) years.
Siam Technology College has 15 weeks of scheduled classes per year. The first ten weeks will run from the first Monday of March through to the second week of May. The remaining four weeks will take place in October.
The scheduled classes will make up 84 of the required credits for the course. These 84 credits can be obtained in 28, week long, face to face classes. As Siam Technology College offers 15 weeks of classes per year, over three years, this means you only have to attend two-thirds of the classes over a three year period. During the years scheduled classes, we will offer as many of the classes as possible at different times, meaning you can attend classes you may have previously missed.
To summarize, students need to attend 28 weeks of classes, and each class is one week. Siam Technology College offers 15 weeks per year, and this flexibility means that students can attend as many as they wish, allowing them to complete the course around their own schedule.

Mother's Day is just around the corner and if you find yourself scrambling for that perfect gift, we're here to help. We've found three great gift ideas that will get to her in time and will be sure to delight!
1. Flowers in a Reusable Container. If you can't personally deliver flowers to Mom, send the next best thing – a professionally arranged bouquet. Rather than sending flowers in a traditional vase, why not try a white ceramic pitcher like this "Fields of Europe" bouquet from 1-800-Flowers? Mom can use a gift like this all year round.
2. Hire Help. One of the best things you can get Mom is some extra time. A service called TaskRabbit does this by providing trustworthy individuals who can do a variety of tasks from picking up groceries to building furniture. Buy Mom a gift or post a task on her behalf – what's something that she's always talking about doing, but hasn't done yet? Save $10 on your post by using coupon code ILOVEMOM (expires 5/14).
3. Will Travel for Mom. A visit to Mom – whether it's a few hundred miles or a few thousand, is quite possibly the best gift you can give. There's many great travel coupons and deals this month so take advantage of them. Book a flight and send Mom the itinerary. Or, if you know that Mom has been dying to go to Paris, why not buy her an American Express Travel gift card so that she can finally take the trip she's always dreamed about?

We believe that the Chinese team will have the best chance at taking the cup this year, their records are really impressive going back almost a thousand years, but there is the outside chance they could be beaten by the team from England, we understand they have linked Aake Akselinpoika, Lord of Göksholm, baron of Iijoki definitely to his father, Axel Johansson, Lord of Göksholm. That Johansson name has to be able to go a lot further.
Announcer: Yes, Greg, but don't count out the Swedish Team. They have new uniforms this year and every one of them is carry an iPad 2. That could give them the edge in this tight competition. They have a lead on the descendants of Margaretha Axelsdotter Natt Och Dag and that could tip the Judges in their favor. By the way, this year's Grand Prix is sponsored by the Dolan Springs Genealogy Club. They were able to move the shuffleboard tournament just in time to schedule this year's Grand Prix.
Commentator: Don't sell short the home court advantage. Last year, when the Grand Prix was held in Whangarei, the New Zealand team pulled off an upset by extending their line back to Aitu-whakatika in the Second Century.
Announcer: How could I ever forget that impressive win. We would also like to thank Ralph's Auto Service for sponsoring this year's Porta Johns. Well, Bob, it looks like the contestants are starting to arrive. We also need to thank this year's team from Provo, Utah. They were able to round up enough AT&T iPhones to give us WiFi connections for the competition and thanks to Harvey's Pretty Good Pizza, we will actually have some food at this year's event.
Commentator: Back to the Chinese Team. I was just handed a Press Release, looks like this one is dated August 8, 2000 announcing the English version of their Chineseroots.com website. Wait, before you start to count the Chinese advantage, it looks like that site went off the Web, but they still have the Chinese Surnames site on RootsWeb.
Announcer: And don't forget the Chinese Roots Wiki, that could always tip the scale. Let's get back to that impressive Swedish Team. Do you think those iPad 2s will make the difference Bob? Unless there is a loss of power in the closest Cell Phone tower, they will certainly have a distinct advantage. But don't rule out an upset. The Luxembourg team may take the lead since they finally have records on FamilySearch.org.
Commentator: That's true Greg. But remember that last year their star competitor was disqualified for using an Android phone. That was deemed an unfair advantage. Right now, we need to announce that the competition will be suspended for an hour this evening to allow all our visitors and contestants to watch the latest episode of Who Do You Think You Are.
Announcer: Well, we hate to disappoint all those who have traveled here from Las Vegas to see this event, but it looks like our satellite reception went south and we will miss that show.
BZZZ -- CClick [Sorry for the interruption, but it looks like I have lost contact with the Grand Prix. I'll let you know if I can get my system to come up again meanwhile you can always to to NBC and watch re-runs of Who Do You Think You Are].

Buyer's Market
Remember Elizabeta? Of course you do. She was one of Niko's first connections in Bohan after the Eastern European thugs ran he and Roman out of Broker. Elizabeta has her hands in all sorts of illegal activities, and now she's in the heroin trade. When you arrive at her place off of San Quentin Avenue on the western edge of Bohan, you'll find a familiar scene. In fact, the events of this cutscene are in many ways identical to your first encounter with Elizabeta during GTAIV's main story. Niko and Playboy X are present here, but Johnny wants to get down to business. And get down to business he shall.
When you're ready, jump back on your bike and begin heading south along San Quentin Avenue. It will eventually lead you to the East Borough Bridge, over Charge Island, and into Dukes. Once you arrive in Dukes, the bridge will turn into Harrison Street, and you'll be deviating southward towards an alleyway in between Livingston Street and Huntington Street. Upon your arrival, one of Billy's pets will protest that he didn't get to work with this deal, but Johnny quickly sets him straight. Once the package of illegal substances is handed over, we can continue on with our mission.
Your destination is a short distance from where you picked up the package. You'll be heading towards the Dukes-Broker border, towards a street called Cassidy Street. When you arrive here after a brief drive, get off of your bike and head on into the building. As the game tells you automatically, the apartment you seek is on the third floor. When you get to the third floor, the game will tell you to patiently wait for Niko and Playboy X to arrive. Do so. When they get there, a familiar cutscene will take place, one identical to the cutscene that took place on the same mission in Niko's main story. This drug deal is, in fact, an LCPD sting operation.
Of course, these undercover officers didn't come alone. They came with backup. Lots of it. SWAT officers galore will swarm your location, and you'll regain control post-cutscene in a rather awkward predicament. You're being gunned at by about a half-dozen SWAT officers, and you're ducked down behind a concrete slab right in front of them. Here, you'll want to go for headshots -- don't use the Shotgun right next to you here. Use a Pistol or something else. Eliminate the enemy threat, and then work your way rightward (bear right into a room here to get Body Armor). Once you're out in the hallway, it's time to start climbing down, but not before you down a few more SWAT officers in the corridor.
You'll want to walk down the next two flights of stairs you encounter towards the main floor with your gun trained ahead of you. This will help you get a rather advantageous jump on SWAT officers waiting for you around every corner. As soon as you approach a staircase leading down and a SWAT officer's head can be seen, clip it off. Then, proceed down the stairs and continue this process as usual. When you reach the first floor, you can bust out of the front door if you want, but obviously that's a horrible idea. Instead, run towards the back door, where you can attempt to make an easier getaway.
There are only a few enemies waiting for you in the alleyway. One will be tucked behind the building on your right, while two or three more will be waiting for you atop the stairs leading out of the alleyway. Try to kill these enemies from as far away as humanly possible. There should be a contingent of cops here, as well as an ever-roving helicopter, so you'll need to jack a car quickly and get out of dodge. Your cop slaughter will have netted you a three star wanted level -- not too shabby. Drive around a bit to lose your pursuers, which will end the mission in success.

Coyotes continue to struggle in loss to Jets
WINNIPEG, Manitoba — New Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice is already changing things up after just one day on the job.
Right after his club earned a 5-1 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Monday night, Maurice displayed a bit of his demanding style.
"I went in and talked a little bit about what I saw, congratulated them on facing some tough adversity and winning, thanked them, and then proceeded to cancel the day off that they had (Tuesday)," he said after the Jets snapped a five-game losing streak.
"It was good enough tonight," Maurice said, "but we can't rely on that being good enough in our next game. We've just got to get better."
Maurice, signed through the end of this season, spent his first night behind the bench after he took over for Claude Noel, who was fired on Sunday.
The Jets have struggled lately, even against teams below them in the standings.
The Coyotes (21-15-9) don't fit into that category, though they have also slumped recently after a strong start. They are 7-11-6 since opening 14-4-4, and have dropped three in a row.
"It can't get much lower, and we have to get better," captain Shane Doan said. "It seems that we find new ways (to lose) every time. We haven't really had an issue with discipline so far this year with penalties, and this time we did.
"You can't create much offense when you're short-handed."
Phoenix handed the Jets eight power plays, but Winnipeg scored on only one.
Fans who have been booing the Jets at home recently were on their feet cheering and clapping for much of the game.
They didn't even wait for it to start to show how they felt about the coaching change. Maurice got his first cheer during the national anthem when his face was displayed on the scoreboard.
"It's a whole lot nicer being on the home bench when you win, I'm sure, but it was a very special moment for me in my career, and I'll cherish it," Maurice said.
Olli Jokinen, Eric O'Dell, Blake Wheeler, Michael Frolik and Devin Setoguchi scored for the Jets (20-23-5), who held a 38-19 shots advantage.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored for Phoenix (21-15-9), but that was the only shot that got past goalie Ondrej Pavelec.
"I felt safe with him," Maurice said.
Ekman-Larsson gave Phoenix a 1-0 lead during a power play at 12:16, but the Coyotes didn't have much time to celebrate.
"They did the one thing that we had talked about," Maurice said. "That when adversity came to the door, that next goal was huge."
Jokinen batted a behind-the-net pass from Dustin Byfuglien past Mike Smith at 12:52 to tie it, and O'Dell scored his second of the season when he dashed in to snap in another shot at 18:00.
With the help of four power-play opportunities, the Jets outshot Phoenix 12-7 in the first period, but both of their goals were scored at even strength. Winnipeg's power play is ranked 25th in the NHL.
The Jets kept up the pressure in the second until Wheeler backhanded Mark Scheifele's rebound past Smith to make it 3-1. At the halfway mark of the period the Jets had outshot Phoenix 9-1.
Fans responded with cheers for the intensity the Jets brought to the game instead of the boos that have rained down on the team after some of their more lackluster recent efforts.
Frolik made it 4-1 at 4:18 of the third when his angled shot beat Smith's glove.
Winnipeg's power play continued to struggle until midway through the third when Setoguchi dropped to one knee as he slammed a shot past Smith. Byfuglien earned his second assist of the night.
"We did a good job of being ready tonight and playing the right way," captain Andrew Ladd said. "I thought we did a good job of getting a lot of pucks to the net and keeping it simple."
Setoguchi, who broke a goal drought that stretched back to Dec. 2, couldn't say whether the coaching change made the difference.
"I think everyone's work ethic was there, and that's what gave us a chance to win the game," he said.

Yes, This Is Happening: VTech Just Made a Tablet for Your 12-Month-Old
VTech is hoping to tap into one of the last unexplored tablet markets: Infants.
The Hong Kong-based toy maker is targeting its Inno Tab 2 Baby at children from 1 to 9 years of age, expanding beyond the regular Inno Tab's 4-to-9 year age range.
"The reality is that [the technology's] there, and babies as young as 12 months just have this natural propensity to want to do whatever their parents are doing," said Laurie Honza, director of product development of VTech Electronics North America.
Aesthetically, the Inno Tab 2 Baby looks like others in the Inno Tab line. Its thick plastic and protective gel skin are meant to render the tablet indestructible enough for little hands that would just as quickly throw it from a high chair as play with it. The Baby features different onboard content as well, including three baby apps, a Noah's Ark e-book, and built-in music (six playtime melodies and six sleepy-time melodies).
For older kids, there's a rotating camera and video recorder, licensed games from Nickelodeon and Disney, an art studio app and an organizer for scheduling soccer practices and visits to grandma's house.
VTech also provides custom-designed hardware to make the interface easier for tots. Beyond its physical toughness, the Baby comes with two styluses shaped like triangles rather than cylinders, that provide a thicker, more easily graspable shape for tiny fingers.
According to the "Handbook of Research on the Education of Young Children," children are exposed to new technologies long before they ever enter a preschool classroom. But, as VTech targets the youngest tablet demographic ever, how young is too young for children to be introduced to tech?
It's a hot topic of debate. The National Association for the Education of Young Children and the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media, for example, released a joint statement last year discouraging parents from exposing children younger than 2 years old to screens.
However, Honza insists that interactivity is key, pointing to the Baby's visual stimulation and how intrigued toddlers are by tapping the screen and watching what happens.
"If you hand over an iPad to a little one, you'll see how easily engaged they are," she said.
But it depends on how engaged.
"There is some research that looks at if you have mom, baby and media and there's conversation and pointing and talking and labeling then that can actually lead to some learning," said Brigid Barron, an associate professor in the School of Education at Stanford University, who specializes in the relationship between kids and technology. "Just sitting your 12-month-old down in front of media alone does not seem to lead to any learning."
I conducted some very unscientific testing myself, plopping an Inno Tab 2 Baby in front of my various little cousins, aged 22 months to 9 years old. Most of them are pretty tech-savvy for their age. Edward, who is 7 years old, figured out how to unlock my Android phone within two minutes and navigate to the menu. Brooke, at 9 years old, has an iPod touch and regularly emails and FaceTimes with the other girls on her soccer team.
The results? Older kids like Edward and Brooke activated and navigated the Inno Tab with aplomb, if becoming a little bored quickly. Charlotte and Amanda are both 3 years old, but the former spends much more time playing with her parents' smartphones. That showed — she's also an Angry Birds whiz — since Charlotte had no problem playing with the Inno Tab. Amanda, on the other hand, passed most of her time using the stylus to madly scribble across the screen, without any particular objective.
Brandon, my youngest cousin, at 22 months, stared at the thick plastic contraption with the cluelessness of someone still trying to master the toilet. He seldom made it past the welcome screen, as he only focused on the Inno Tab's physical buttons rather than its screen. That meant he hit the power button as soon as we would turn it on.
"I think he failed the test," laughed Michael, his father.
With the older kids, the Inno Tab played over as well and intuitively as any educational tablet like the LeapPad. However, though younger kids such Brandon and Amanda fell within the right age range, it's clear that outside guidance was necessary for them to figure out what the Inno Tab even did, emphasizing the need for parents to be present with their children as they play with the tablets.
"Parents just have to use a sort of common sense approach and look carefully and watch," Barron said. "It's most powerful if children can be playing with parents or peers so that they're not just playing alone."

Egypt's political elite continue to fail their people. They are failing to empathize, they are failing to speak to the public in a way that makes them feel they're being listened to, and they're failing to craft approaches to turn around a dangerously listing economy.
Egypt's current economic and social problems have no easy fixes, and would confound an all-star team of political leaders. But compounding those problems is the fact that President Mohamed Morsi, his Muslim Brotherhood, and the security forces – who are seen by the public as dangers to be avoided rather than keepers of the peace – are out of touch with the struggles of the nation's poor.
Their attitude veers between amusement, disgust, and contempt, and all of them were on display when, while answering questions in parliament earlier this month, Prime Minister Hisham Qandil was asked about Hamada Saber, a middle-aged laborer who was caught on film being stripped naked, beaten, and dragged through the street by police in front of the presidential palace on Feb. 1. Mr. Qandil managed, in very few words, to unintentionally outline how estranged Egypt's leadership is from the working classes when he launched into a set of unfocused comments that seemed to place responsibility for poverty squarely on the backs of the poor while sidestepping the issue of police mistreatment of Mr. Saber.
The poor, who may not be well-educated but aren't stupid, are well-aware of this contempt among the political elite – one reason so many average Egyptians say that what they wanted out of the uprising against former President Hosni Mubarak was more "dignity." So far they're not getting it.
The police abuse, broadcast live and replayed dozens of times in the coming days, electrified the country as a clear symbol of a thuggish government whose behavior, in its interactions with average folk, remains unchanged since the revolution. Saber was originally threatened and warned to lie about this assault (seeking to pin the blame on protesters) – something straight out of the Mubarak era.
A few days later, Qandil, a President Mohamed Morsi appointee, was asked by a reporter in a televised meeting about the attack. First he said that while he doesn't know Saber, that "I'm 90 percent sure he doesn't pay his electricity bill." Whether Saber is too poor to pay his electric bills or not, it hardly seems relevant to his own treatment.
Qandil then quickly shifts to breast-feeding and sanitation (Qandil is a former minister of water resources, which means he bears some responsibility for the lack of clean drinking water and effective sewage systems in many parts of the country) and blamed the frequency of diarrhea among infants in Beni Suef, a city south of Cairo, on the poor hygiene of their mothers.
Below is a videotape of Qandil's original comments with English subtitles. He says, "In my work, I used to go to the countryside, so I've seen in the villages of Beni Suef families. I mean, there are villages in Egypt, villages in Egypt, you're disturbed that he has a power bill he doesn't even pay to start with but he, I'm certain.. there are villages in Egypt, in the 21st century, the children get diarrhea... you know, an infant because his mother out of ignorance breast feeds him... she is so ignorant that she is not capable of maintaining the cleanliness of her breasts, so the child gets diarrhea."
At the end of last week Qandil issued a classic non-apology apology, saying he regretted that his videotaped comments were "falsely portrayed" by the press.
Every country has politicians who make cloddish, tone-deaf statements. But in Egypt it seems to be more the norm than the exception. On Feb. 3, the government issued a report on rampant food inflation in which it urged citizens not to overeat. On Feb. 10, Minister of Supply and Internal Trade Bassem Auda held a press conference announcing plans to ration subsidized bread to three loaves per person (an Egyptian loaf is a flatbread, much like a pita).
The country is the largest importer of wheat in the world, and the cost of those imports have soared as the value of the Egyptian pound has fallen (a poor harvest due to drought in much of the world last year also isn't helping matters). The poor, defined as those with an average household income of less than $200 a month, rely on that subsidized bread.
And when I met in January with a member of Egypt's Shura Council, the upper house of parliament, he said they were considering a law to cap the salaries of government workers at 50,000 pounds a month ($7,600) and that he was seeking an amendment to increase the upper limit to 200,000 pounds ($30,400). Then he stunned me: "You have to understand that Egypt isn't an inexpensive country like the US. That is a great salary in the US, but for us, the costs are so much higher."
And it isn't just within Egypt that elites don't seem to get it. David Ignatius, a columnist for The Washington Post, wrote a piece on Feb. 15 comparing Egypt's ultras – the soccer hooligans who take their names from Italian supporters organizations – to the thugs in A Clockwork Orange. He describes Anthony Burgess grim, violent novel as "an eerily prescient guide to the youth gangs that are wild in the streets of Egypt and other countries. What are these hooligans telling us about the future – not just in Egypt but also in other nations where authoritarian leaders have lost their power to repress dissent by angry young men? The teenage marauders seem to have lost respect for the world of their fathers – and for the forces of social control that were woven through traditional societies such as Egypt."
Well, yes, they have lost respect for a world that's never respected them. That there is an edge of nihilism to much of the protest in Cairo these days can't be denied. But it's hard not to be sympathetic to angry, jobless young men who have been failed by their political system and their leaders for their entire lives. Go to any poor Cairo neighborhood or Egyptian town and you'll see cops soliciting bribes and unmaintained sewage systems with filth running out into the vacant lots the children play in. Wouldn't you be angry?
Ignatius warns that Egypt's "social fabric" has ripped and complains that "the kids who made the revolution refuse to settle down and take their seats."
He seems to miss the point, as do Egypt's leaders, who are the ones failing Egypt far more than dissatisfied youths. When young angry people get pushed far enough, they end up breaking things. Giving them a reason to "take their seats" is up to the government. So far, it is failing them. Again.

Support for Michael
Geriets for sheriff
Send a link to a friend
I want to go on record as endorsing Mike Geriets
for Logan County sheriff.
Mike has been a valuable member of the Lincoln Police Department
for nearly 25 years, most of those years as a supervisor and
Mike is also a dedicated father to his four children. I have seen
his dedication firsthand as I am the stepfather to his two youngest,
Jackson and Tori.
I have known and worked with Mike for over 16 years, and I am
confident in his ability to successfully run the Logan County
Sheriff's Department. Mike has the passion and experience that will
make him a sheriff Logan County can be proud of.
[to top of second
There is a serious need for change in the sheriff's department.
For the last 12 years, the working relationship between the
sheriff's department and other police agencies in Logan County has
been nonexistent, and to me, this is unacceptable. Sheriff Nichols
has gone on record stating, "Unfortunately personalities sometimes
enter into the equation with other agencies in the county." I want a
sheriff who has the capabilities to work and communicate with all
other agencies in the county without personality conflicts coming
into play.
Mike Geriets already has a good working relationship with these
agencies and should be our next Logan County sheriff.

The business professionals (corporate and small business) we work with are already very productive. But they are so busy trying to get everything done, they often feel like they're running a race they can't win and are stressed-out about it. They are anxious about their job/business and the market and uncertain about how to stop the cycle of busy-ness.
We work with them to get clear about what is most important to them, refine their tools and systems to maximize their time and then help them develop the habits necessary to begin to experience the sense of peace and accomplishment that comes from consistently getting what really matters done.
Once they've completed the coaching it's easy for them to be in command of their day, and they rave about how easy it is to get more done now!
We are looking for a logo to represent our coaching company.
The url: moredonenow.com
We will use the logo for our website and business cards
We want the logo to represent both the act of being productive (now!) but also the sense of accomplishment that follows a job well done. So it will have a sense of satisfied relaxation about it; like leaning back in your chair with your fingers crossed behind your head and a big smile on your face after getting a tough job done.

The 'Electronic Sawyer' presents in searchable and browsable form a revised, updated, and expanded version of Peter Sawyer's 'Anglo-Saxon Charters: an Annotated List and Bibliography', published by the Royal Historical Society in 1968. Its main content derives from Sawyer's catalogue, with corrections and modifications, and with additional data collected by Dr Susan Kelly, Dr Rebecca Rushforth, and others. Dr Rushforth was also responsible for the development of the database which lies behind the online version of this catalogue.
The 'Electronic Sawyer', mounted on a server at the Department of Digital Humanities (DDH), at King's College London, is an integral part of the KEMBLE website, mounted on a server in the University of Cambridge.
'Kemble' is the website of the British Academy-Royal Historical Society Joint Committee on Anglo-Saxon Charters. The BA-RHS Committee on Anglo-Saxon Charters has undertaken this work as part of the publication of a new multi-volume edition of the corpus of Anglo-Saxon charters. Further information about the project, and about 'Sawyer', the 'Revised Sawyer', and the 'Electronic Sawyer', is available on the 'Kemble' website.
The production of the 'Electronic Sawyer' would not have been possible without the generous support of the Arts and Humanities Research Council in funding the work of Dr Rushforth and others. Dr Kelly's work, at an earlier stage, was funded by The Leverhulme Trust and The Newton Trust. We are also most grateful to Professor Harold Short, and to CCH, for their expertise and support.

With the New Year and the idea of many students and upcoming grads beginning new job searches, I thought it would be interesting to pull up statistics and predictions of 2011's job market. To my surprise many of the news sources I pulled up, said 2011 is a good year for college students to be in the market for a job. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, college student and graduate hiring is expected to climb in 2011. Employers anticipate a 13.5 percent increase in college graduate hiring, 40 percent of employers hiring levels will remain the same, however nearly half of all participants in the Job Outlook 2011 Preview Survey expected some rise in hiring. This is GREAT news for us here in college. As I dug further into this survey, I found that 32.5 percent of the respondents were employers from the Midwest, while 27.9 in the Northeast, and 13.7 in the West. This is also GREAT news for us here in the Midwest. I'd say with the New Year upon us, a new semester at hand, and a positive outlook, we're in for a pretty swell 2011. Not to mention our office has multiple events and seminars to get you at the top of your game. Check them out here! Keep working hard, keep striving, and stay determined—success will find you. Stay up-to-date with Career Services and all of our great services, events, information, and opportunity to maximize your efforts. Don't hesitate to ask for help. We are here to help YOU!

Connection to MySQL using HTTP-tunneling. Mysql remote access.
HTTP Tunneling is a technique by which communications performed using various network protocols are encapsulated using the HTTP protocol, the network protocols in question usually belonging to the TCP/IP family of protocols.
The HTTP protocol therefore acts as a wrapper for a covert channel that the network protocol being tunneled uses to communicate.
In brief, a "tunnel" is created between your PC and the remote MySQL server and it appears as though the remote MySQL database is run locally.
• you have the opportunity to reach out to the internet only through HTTP-proxy.
• in your network is set to the opportunity to work with port 80.
• hosting provider are allowed to work with the database only via localhost.
HTTP - tunneling in MySQL
HTTP-tunneling is a method for connecting to a MySQL server that uses the same protocol (http://) and the same port (port 80) as a webserver does. This can be very useful when connecting to a MySQL server at an ISP. Because it is always available where a webserver is available."Direct connection" to My SQL normally uses port 3306, but that port is often closed for security reasons. By using the same port as the webserver does, your connection cannot be blocked!
But to enable this a "translation engine" must be available at the webhost, that translates the in- and outgoing traffic on port 80 to internal traffic using the MySQL port(3306). This "translation engine" is the tunneling script provided with different mysql GUI tools. The script (a PHP tunneling script) must be uploaded to some place on the webserver that you have access to. That would normally be (but need not be) the root directory of your website.
Script usually comes with a GUI client for MySQL, but if the developers did not take care of the possibility of connections through HTTP-tunnel, then you can organize http-tunnel using GNU HTTPTunnel.
If you can access your website, then you can access the tunneling file too. You can transfer this PHP script on you web site using ssh, ftp or web console. How transfer file using SSH?

Here some tips on how to heal the last three encounters in Heart of Fear, including the best time to use cooldowns and which talents and symbiosis targets are optimal for each fight
First, a few general tips:
- Feline Swiftness is the level 15 talent that I recommend for any fight.
- Nature's Swiftness is the level 30 talent I recommend for any fight. Remember the cooldown is only 1 minute. It makes your next heal instant, 50% bigger and mana-free, so use it often.
- The major glyphs I recommend are Glyph of Wild Growth, Glyph of Lifebloom and Glyph of Regrowth.
- For the good of the raid, using Symb on a tank is probably the best choice in most cases (a Paladin or Warrior would be my last choice since, really, who wants Cleanse or Intimidating Roar on a boss fight?) If you use this on a DK or a Monk, be sure to use IBF or Fortifying Brew during the encounter.
- Carry lots of Tome of the Clear Mind. Which talents are strongest can change from fight to fight. It you want to maximize your healing potential, you will be changing talents often.
Wind Lord Mel'jarak
This is a two-phase fight. The first phase involves heavy tank damage (my guild single-tanks this so the damage gets very heavy), with intermittent raid damage. Most of your healing will be focused on the tank for this fight, with spot healing on those raiders who get hit by his Whirling Blades. Rain of Blades is the big raid damage ability which hurts everyone over 6 seconds and does more damage each time it is cast. Healing cooldowns are needed for these. For healing assignments I usually assign a single, smaller cooldown (like Revival from a Monk) for the first two Rains, then get into the longer lasting CDs (Hymn, HTT, Tranq), and start doubling up on CDs by the 4th rain. I get some use of Mushrooms on this fight. I set them up in the melee when raid damage is low and Bloom them during Rain of Blades.
In phase 2, the adds should all be dead, so the tank gets easier to heal, but the raid damage from Rain of Blades and Whirling Blade gets higher. You also need to watch out for Wind Bombs. If someone hits one, it can be recoverable, but two going off will kill most of the raid.
Level 60 – SotF or Incarnation
It's a toss-up between Incarnation and Soul of the Forest. The output from SotF can be great during Rain of Blades, though the fight can be very mana intensive, especially as you're learning, so ToL is a great choice too.
Level 90 – Heart of the Wild
My favourite thing to do on this fight is to HoT up the tank before the pull, pre-pot with an Intellect potion, hit HotW and spam Hurricane on the boss and all his adds for the first 40 seconds of the fight. It's fun to be at the top of the damage meter for a bit and all the free damage spells you're casting saves you a lot of mana. Just make sure the rest of your healing team is okay with your doing this, and take the time to refresh HoTs between Hurricane casts.
I use this on a Mage in this fight for Iceblock. Being able to break the Amber Prison yourself is useful.
Tranquility – Use this during Rain of Blades, coordinate when it's used with the other healer cooldowns.
Ironbark – During phase 1 when the tank is taking lots of damage external cooldowns will be needed. I set an order for my healers to use their cooldowns when the tank runs out of her own.
Heart of the Wild – Use right at the beginning of the fight so you can help get all the adds down faster.
Incarnation – If you take this over SoTF, it's best used just before a Rain of Blades.
Amber Shaper Un'sok
Amber Shaper can be a fun fight or a frustrating one depending on how good your raid is at vehicle fights. Phase 1 is very straightforward. There's moderate tank damage, and a few people in the raid will take damage when they are attacked by Living Ambers. The only complication to this first phase is the Parasitic Growth. This is a DoT that gets applied to one person every 40 seconds or so. It ticks for minimal damage on them, but does more damage the more healing that person takes. Because of this, the ideal class to look out for the person affected by this is a Disc Priest. The rest of the healers must be very careful to not heal this person, as it will do more harm than good. Don't use Wild Growth unless you know it won't hit this person, don't mindlessly spread Rejuvs. Don't put Efflo down in the melee if it is a melee who is affected.
In phase 2, the boss will start making other raiders into constructs. The best way to contribute positively to this fight is to be great at being a construct. If you get transformed, you need to be on your interrupts. Immediately target the large construct and get in melee range. When you start casing Amber Explosion press 2 (Struggle for Control) to interrupt it. When the Mutated Construct starts casting Amber Explosion press 1 (Amber Strike) to interrupt it. Amber Strike has a 6 second cooldown, so if you use it early, you're screwed. Once your raid has brought you down to 20% and another person has been transformed into a construct press 4 to break free.
The raid damage in phase 2 gets a little more intense. The boss does a stomp, Living Ambers will be more numberous and both tanks will be taking damage. The Parasitic Growth will still be happening too, so you still need to be careful with your group heals. If anyone transformed into a construct misses an interrupt the whole raid will take a large amount of damage.
Phase 3 starts when the large construct dies. The raid damage gets higher due to all the dead Ambers on the ground, spitting Burning Amber at the raid. People will be transformed into constructs here as well. If you get transformed, you should use button 1 on the boss whenever possible to stack a debuff on him. Interrupt your cast with 2. When your energy gets low, find an amber puddle and use 3 to eat it. You will not be using button 4 here as the raid will be focused on the boss, not breaking people free.
If you are not in a construct, just focus on putting out as much healing as possible. Everyone should be grouped up, allowing Swiftmend to do a lot of healing. The Parasitic Growth still gets cast during phase 3, but the damage going out on the raid is high, so you can't really afford to not use your AoE heals.
I've done this fight with both SotF and Incarnation; HotW and Nature's Vigil. I don't find one talent significantly outperforms the other.
Use it on a Mage. Iceblock will remove the Parasitic Growth, which makes the lives of the healers easier. Parasite isn't a huge deal in phase 1, but if you get it in phase 3, being able to remove it will save your life.
Tranquility – I try to use this twice during the fight. I generally use it once in phase 2 if someone misses an interrupt (someone always misses an interrupt), then again when it's available in phase 3.
Ironbark – I tend to use this on a Parasite target who is taking lots of damage rather than the tank.
Nature's Vigil and/or Incarnation – There's no real high damage phase besides the last phase. I'd use these near the start of phase 2 then when they're up again in phase 3.
Grand Empress Shek'zeer
Shek'zeer has both heavy tank damage and heavy raid damage.
During phase 1 keep a steady stream of heals on the active tank. Random raid members will take moderate damage from Dread Screech. The damage you need to worry about is Sonic Discharge. When a Dissonance Field reaches zero health, it will explode and do a large amount of damage to the entire raid. There should be 4 explosions in phase 1. I assign at least one healer cooldown for each. The other thing to worry about is the Cry of Terror debuff. The person sho has this should go into a Dissonance Field so they don't AoE the rest of the raid. However, when they're in the field, they don't take any healing. I put a Rejuv on whoever has this so I can Swiftmend them as soon as I see them step out of the field. It's really important that they come out before the explosion, or they'll probably die. The ranged should be spread out in phase 1, so I mostly use WG/RG/RJ on ranged and use Swiftmend and occasionally Mushrooms on melee.
During phase 2 a number of adds will come out who need to be picked up by the tanks. The damage on the tanks can be very heavy here, though the raid damage shouldn't be too bad. I pick a tank to focus on and spot heal the raid when needed.
Phase 3 is where the damage really ramps up. The boss does a ton of damage to the raid and anyone affected by Visions of Demise who does not get out of the group will also damage everyone else. During this phase I keep HoTs on the active tank and use WG and Swiftmend in the group on cooldown. This phase is really mana intensive so I also use Mushrooms a fair bit since they cost so little mana. Also try to dispel when you can, as you don't want people being feared to the opposite end of the room. Healing cooldowns should be chained as much as possible.
Level 60 – I usually go with Incarnation to help out with mana a bit, though SotF would be useful as well.
Level 90 – Either talent is fine.
I generally use this on a Monk or DK for an extra damage mitigation cooldown that I use for Dissonance and in phase 3.
Tranquility – Use just before one of the Sonic Discharges in phase 1. Use when available in phase 3.
Ironbark – I find the tanks need this most during phase two when they're tanking all the adds. Use again in phase 3.
Happy healing!

Vin Diesel, who stars in next Friday's Babylon A.D., told ComingSoon.net today that he is directing a 20-minute prequel to Fast and Furious, the fourth installment in the Universal Pictures franchise.
Diesel will star in the prequel along with Michelle Rodriguez reprising her role as Letty and Sung Kang returning as Han. Diesel didn't say how the prequel would premiere; it could be on a DVD, online, TV, etc.
The fourth movie is a sequel to the first installment, and though Diesel didn't elaborate, we assume this 20-minute prequel will tie-in some of the events from the second and third movies. Rodriguez appeared in the first movie, Sung Kang in the third, and Diesel in the first with a brief cameo in the third.
In the Justin Lin-directed Fast and Furious, opening June 5, 2009, fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker). But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanuever him.


text: So when I first heard this cut from the new Our Broken Garden album, When Your Blackening Shows, I immediatley thought of Julee Cruise and and the Twin Peaks-y vibe the song gives off…then I saw the promo art with singer Anna Brønsted laying battered and broken in a bed of moss…and I really got Laura Palmer chills! Our Broken Garden, with the slow-core wall of production, lazy drums, church-like organs and dark, moody guitar work, kinda sounds like Radiohead on heroin, if they had a sexy Danish guest vocalist take over on the gloomier-than-usual songs. Probably not the kinda thing to listen to if you're already in need of a Zoloft, but sometimes a dose of self-indulgent, ethereal melancholy is just what the doctor ordered. You can head on over to their MySpace page to get further depressed…..

The Westcliff Pavilion was designed by GASS Architecture Studios and is located in Johannesburg, South Africa.The original looking two-bedroom dwelling is privileged located in a secluded forest, close to a relatively steep ridge, with fantastic views over Johannesburg. The unusual cottage is supported by steel frames: "Simply put, we wanted a structure that would touch the Ridge as lightly as possible combined with an elegant, timeless aesthetic that would allow us to use the steel elements not only as primary structural elements, but also as the primary architectural motif.", explain the architects.
The idea of integrating stone in the overall design of the residence derived from the characteristics of the site and those of the neighboring residences: "Many of the houses on the Westcliff Ridge and vicinity are famous for their use of native stone work in their facades, including works by architectural greats like Sir Herbert Baker. We wanted to continue in this tradition of using indigenous stone in our design and as such, we wanted included a wall made from stone harvested on the site itself". The two bedrooms, open plan living room and bathroom- all open up to the natural scenery with the help of floor-to-ceiling windows- have a look!

Kone crushes Canaries
Wigan's survival bid gathered pace as Arouna Kone's solitary goal against Norwich nine minutes from time made it three wins in a row for Roberto Martinez's side.
Last season a point at Carrow Road in March provided the impetus for the Latics to win seven of their last 10 games and engineer another great escape - and this three points lifted them out of the Barclays Premier League's bottom three.
Wigan were lacklustre for an hour but the threat on the Norwich goal grew and grew and, after Antolin Alcaraz had seen a header cleared off the line, it was Kone who fired home from the edge of the box.
Martinez stuck with the same side that beat Newcastle two weeks ago, which meant a second Premier League start for striker Callum McManaman.
The 21-year-old has been at the centre of a furore following his knee-high tackle on defender Massadio Haidara, which went unpunished both during the game and subsequently.
Wigan have been unhappy with the vilification of their player and it looked like an ankle injury might keep him out of the spotlight but he recovered in time.
Martinez's selection meant number one goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi and captain Gary Caldwell again had to settle for spots on the bench while Norwich were forced into one change with Lee Camp taking his place in goal for the suspended Mark Bunn.
There were some half-hearted jeers for McManaman from the Norwich fans and the striker might have answered them in the best possible way within three minutes but Javier Garrido pipped him to Jean Beausejour's cross.
The visitors are not quite clear of the relegation scrap and they began well, with striker Kei Kamara looking a threat, but they did not trouble Joel Robles in the home goal.
Indeed, Sebastien Bassong failed even to trouble the corner flag with a horribly sliced effort in the 19th minute, much to the delight of the Wigan fans.
The hosts were struggling to make an impact but they did put together a fine move in the 27th minute as Shaun Maloney turned and found Emmerson Boyce who set up Kone for a shot just wide.
McManaman had been a peripheral figure, although he should have registered a shot on target in the 34th minute when he was picked out by Beausejour but snatched at it.
Alcaraz had also been a doubt for the match, with Martinez keen not to overplay him after he missed six months of the season with a groin tear.
The Paraguayan's calmness in defence has been much missed and he saved his team after a misunderstanding allowed Kamara to run free only for Alcaraz to nick the ball quite brilliantly.
Wigan went down the other end and again it was Kone with the shot, which was parried away by Camp, although it may have been going wide anyway.
It was the same Latics side that tore apart Everton in the FA Cup quarter-finals and they needed some of the same spark in the second half.
Maloney worked himself into a great position from a corner but fired a long way over the bar while, at the other end, Bradley Johnson was much closer with a shot just past Robles' post.
McManaman's afternoon ended in the 67th minute when he was replaced by James McArthur and the hosts came extremely close to taking the lead three minutes later.
Alcaraz rose highest to meet Beausejour's corner but his header was cleared off the line by Jonny Howson.
Wigan were certainly in the ascendancy, with Maloney at the centre of everything, and they went close again in the 77th minute as James McCarthy drilled a shot just wide.
Jordi Gomez was the next to try his luck when he was picked out by Beausejour but his first touch was poor and the massed ranks of Norwich defenders blocked his effort, albeit with a hint of handball.
The goal was coming and it arrived in the 81st minute. Wes Hoolahan lost the ball in midfield and it proved costly as Gomez picked out Kone, who smashed home from the edge of the box.
It was a fine strike by the Ivorian but Camp will feel he should have done better at his near post.
Norwich could not exert any real late pressure on Robles' goal and Chris Hughton's side are now only four points ahead of their opponents.
