This Pilates video is focused on the core or powerhouse only, which I like. I often find many Pilates videos to be too easy for the lower body, at least out of the ones I've tried so far. When I heard from a friend that this video was just for the abs & back, I thought it would be for me & it was! I found it for just over $7 at CDUniverse.com.
The workout is outside on the island of Maui along a rocky seashore. I would have preferred to hear the waves crashing on the rocks, but I only noticed this while previewing the tape. I didn't mind while actually doing the video. There is soft music that goes well with the PM theme.
Ana starts out by doing the hundred, after a few neck stretches which I really liked. My neck needs this at the end of the day. The following exercises are typical Pilates ab & back exercises. I found the sequencing to be challenging at times. The cover has beginner on it, but I'd say that the workout was a hard intermediate level. There are no form pointers since she moves right along, by voice over instruction. This workout flowed very well with no pauses for instruction for the beginner.
The workout ends with 1 standing stretch, after the mermaid. I liked how both stretches she ended with stretched out my sides and hips. Overall, this is a perfect Pilates video for me. I give it an A+, even though you can't hear the ocean.
Instructor comments:
I like her voice over in this tape. She moves right along, unlike she did in the first Living Arts Pilates video.

Ana Caban's P.M. Pilates is designed as an evening Pilates routine to help you wind down and de-stress at the end of the day. It's perfect for this purpose (although a bit too strenuous to be used right before bedtime), but it would also serve well as an energizing routine in the a.m. or almost any time. Ana works out alone against a rocky, oceanside backdrop, and the soundtrack consists of soft, soothing piano music.
Ana begins the workout in a seated position with several simple neck stretches. She then moves to the floor for a traditional Pilates mat series, starting with the hundred. Although Ana mostly follows classic Pilates sequencing, some of the more difficult moves (e.g., rollover) are left out, and other moves are done in a modified form (i.e., a rolling prep and an open-legged rocker prep instead of the full movements). Despite these modifications, the routine is still challenging, and it proceeds along at a moderate but steady clip. The workout concentrates on the stomach series and other abs-focused moves; the side kick series is absent, and there are no Pilates push-ups. The mermaid (performed seated) and a standing stretch complete the routine.
Ana does much less teaching here than in her previous videos, which makes this workout flow more smoothly; although this made the practice perfect for me, a Pilates practitioner in the advanced intermediate range, I don't this would be a good video for Pilates beginners. Finally, at 25 minutes, I think the length is ideal for allowing me to attain a thorough Pilates workout in a relatively short period of time.
Instructor comments:
Ana is a very good instructor: her form is impeccable, and she is encouraging without being overly chatty. Those who are familiar with her Beginning and Intermediate Matwork videos should note that this video contains voiceover rather than live instruction: although Ana cues well, she is sometimes slightly out of sync with the screen. I think that the voiceover also makes Ana seem a bit less friendly than in her prior vidoes, but I still like her.

This workout has already been broken down by other reviews, so I will just add a few comments. I like this workout for getting a good pilates-ab workout done in a short time (about 25 minutes.) It is a tough sequence and Ana does 10 reps on a lot of the ab exercises. She doesn't show any modifications, so you should be familiar with pilates, and modify on your own (as I did on some.) There were no breaks in between the moves, but there is sufficient time to reset your position, and I didn't feel rushed at all. There is no leg kick series, as this is primarily core based. The scenery is beautiful, and the workout ends with a nice rainbow stretch (standing you go from one ankle up an over to the other.)
I did this in the morning (as opposed to the "PM") and it didn't put me to sleep! This is a challenging intermediate pilates workout.
Instructor comments:
She instructs with a voice over while performing the moves. Her form is excellent and has a pleasant voice while giving instruction and very good form pointers.

10 Best Karaoke Love Songs
The 10 best karaoke love songs range from fun duets for couples to sing to heartfelt ballads that might just win over that special someone. What all of these tunes on the list of ten best karaoke love songs have in common is that they are sincere in their affection, be it mocking and funny or truly passionate. Here they are, the ten best karaoke love songs to sing.
- "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meat Loaf – This battle-of-the-sexes duet is a perfect first entry on our list of the ten best karaoke love songs. Many a couple have sung this song after having a few too many, and it's always charming.
- "I Get a Kick Out of You" by Frank Sinatra – Though Old Blue Eyes could make any song sound amazing, this tune is actually not too hard to sing range-wise, making it a good karaoke song. It is also funny and heartfelt, making it perfect for our list of the ten best karaoke love songs.
- "I Got You Babe" by Sonny and Cher – Another duet that's easy to sing, this one is tough to mess up. Even if you can't sing on key, it'll sound good—after all, Sonny couldn't hit a note to save his life.
- "Brand New Key" by Melanie – This silly-sounding song is actually quite flirtatious. It is a distinctive choice for a girl to sing, earning its spot on our list of the ten best karaoke love songs.
- "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge – You have to be able to sing to pull this one off, but if you can, good for you. This classic is definitely one of the best karaoke love songs for a guy to sing to a girl.
- "Can't Help Falling in Love With You" by Elvis Presley – Another classic, this one will make any girl's heart melt. Especially if, since you're singing karaoke, she's had a few too many.
- "Can't Get Enough of Your Love" by Barry White – A fun choice, this silly, sexy classic is easily one of the ten best karaoke love songs. Barry White's voice is often imitated, never duplicated, but it's best to try duplicating it in a bar full of people.
- "Cruisin'" by Huey Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow – A duet from a movie about singing karaoke, "Duets," this one works on a number of levels. If Gwyneth can hit those notes, so can your girl.
- "Kiss From a Rose" by Seal – This overwrought ballad is a perfect karaoke love song because you can pour your whole drunken heart into it and at the very least everyone will be entertained. Dee on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" definitely finds it a favorite.
- "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart – If you're dating an older woman, this might be the perfect song for you. It's also the capper to our list of the ten best karaoke love songs.

Consolidated Graphics Sales Up 19%, CFO to Step Down
Thursday, May 10, 2007
Press release from the issuing companyMay 9 -- Consolidated Graphics, Inc. today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and year-ended March 31, 2007. Also, G. Christopher Colville, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will be leaving the Company effective June 30, 2007 in order to devote more time to his family and pursue other personal interests. (See comments below) Revenue for the March quarter was $263.9 million, up 19% compared to $221.9 million a year ago. Net income for the March quarter was $6.9 million, or $.50 per diluted share, which includes the impact of an after-tax $7.8 million, or $.56 per diluted share, non-cash goodwill impairment, which was determined when the Company completed its annual evaluation of goodwill in the fourth quarter. Excluding the goodwill impairment, net income was $14.8 million compared to $10.5 million a year ago, resulting in a 43% increase in diluted earnings per share to $1.06 from $.74 in the prior year. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, each of the Company's facilities is separately evaluated annually for impairment of goodwill because they comprise individual reporting units under the Company's business model. Upon completion of the required evaluation, the Company concluded that the goodwill at four locations should be impaired. In the aggregate, these facilities account for approximately 3% of the Company's total sales. Also, each of these facilities generates positive cash flow; accordingly, the Company is evaluating steps that can be taken to improve their financial performance. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, revenue was a record $1.01 billion, up 14% compared to $879.0 million in fiscal 2006. Net income in 2007 was $50.7 million, or $3.65 per diluted share. Excluding the goodwill impairment mentioned above, net income in 2007 was $58.6 million compared to $38.5 million in 2006, resulting in a 54% increase in diluted earnings per share to $4.21 from $2.73 in the prior year. Commenting on the results, Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated Graphics stated, "The fourth quarter wrapped up an outstanding year of growth in sales and profits for Consolidated Graphics. Many factors contributed to this growth, including acquisitions, strong internal sales growth, incremental operating efficiencies, better purchasing power, and our continued investment in technology. I am confident that we can continue to execute on our strategy, expand our industry-leading position and further leverage our competitive advantages for continued growth." Mr. Davis concluded, "We have a lot of momentum and foresee a strong start to fiscal 2008. For the June quarter, we project quarterly revenues to increase 12% from the prior year to $268 million, with EBITDA projected to be $38 million, up 10% from the prior year, and sequentially flat relative to the March quarter. Diluted earnings per share for the June quarter is projected at $.98, and includes an expected increase in our overall effective tax rate to 38% in fiscal 2008 from 36.6% in fiscal 2007, which included a one-time income tax benefit in the June quarter. Compared to the March quarter results, the projections for the June quarter also include an incremental after-tax charge of $.04 per share for stock-based compensation expense, reflecting our typical timing patterns for this expense over the course of the year." CFO to Leave G. Christopher Colville, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will be leaving the Company effective June 30, 2007 in order to devote more time to his family and pursue other personal interests. The Company has begun a search to identify both external and internal candidates as possible successors. Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated Graphics, commented, "We greatly appreciate the invaluable contributions that Chris has made to the growth and success of Consolidated Graphics over the years and offer him and his family our best wishes going forward." Also commenting, Mr. Colville said, "I am fortunate to have been associated with Consolidated Graphics since our initial public offering in 1994 when we had annual revenues of $49 million. Today, Consolidated Graphics is the leading company in the general commercial printing market with $1.1 billion in annual run rate revenues, strong profitability, great growth opportunities and a deep and talented management team. I am very proud of what we have accomplished at CGX and am extremely confident that CGX will continue to execute on its strategy to generate long-term growth in sales and profits."

After returning from our wonderful Mekong Adventure, life on the sunny Costa Blanca quickly returned to normal and Vernon's involvement with the Costa Blanca Male Voice Choir moved up a notch when he became Publicity Officer and very soon afterwards Vice President as well!
This is a particularly busy year for the choir which is celebrating its 10th anniversary and also playing host to a visit by the prestigious Pontarddulais Male Choir on May 6. Consequently, Vernon has been busy preparing press releases, designing posters and programmes for concerts. The 10th Anniversary Concert was played in front of a packed audience in the beautiful Benitachell church (photo left) and bookings are going well for the big concert with the Welsh choir in the 600-seat Auditori Teulada on May 6. You can watch videos of the 10th Anniversary Concert on the choir's Facebook page.
Vernon is also involved with the imminent launch of a new local radio station called Valley FM and will be presenting programmes 14 hours per week. Fortunately, these programmes will all be pre-recorded and so won't interfere with our gardening, walks in the mountains and many other activities we are enjoying in our retirement!

Today is the one year anniversary of this blog! Very exciting. I had not been very vigilant in keeping up with my blog. It seems as though lately I've had so much more to say and needed to get my thoughts out of my head! I hope this next year brings better posts, more writing and a much more relaxed conscience 🙂 I also want to take this opportunity to thank those of you follow my blog. I hope you enjoy this ride as much as I do!
Happy Anniversary!

We are pleased to announce that Charles Service Company's Cleansite has won the Australian Web Industry Association's, Australian Web Award 2012 for Innovation. WA companies won 12 of 13 award categories such as Ecommerce, Personal, Commercial, Government, Education, Culture and Events, and Not for Profit.
Through these awards, the AWIA acknowledges that making a web site designed to provide a good user experience and accessibility takes time, expertise, imaginative thinking and a lot of money. Charles Service Company has made a significant investment in Cleansite, which was purpose built for us by Juicebox. Kudos to Juicebox for turning our vision into reality.
The AWIA said winners represented the leaders in web standards, design and user experience. A well-built site works better for an extra 25% - 30% of users, yet few sites conformed to the standards and there is still a low level of awareness about the benefits.
CSC sees the integration of web based reporting and communications as a key component in our delivery of an excellent service. Managing Director, George Grover commented "We are now in our second year of using Cleansite and are extremely happy with its performance. Many of our clients have also given us positive feedback about many aspects of Cleansite, such as photographic integration, inspection reporting, KPI monitoring, ability to schedule and review periodical cleaning and to show both current activity and historical trends".
The Award for Innovation is verification that Cleansite ingeniously pushes the boundaries of how the web has been able to assist in the delivery of Commercial Cleaning services. Winning is confirmation that CSC service management is the new benchmark in our industry.

The time between 1880 and 1920 has been described by historian Jackson Lears as a time when America was imbued with a desire for rebirth and transformation. It was a time of great tumult and cultural shifts and, within the ever-changing religious milieu, a number of new religious expressions sprang up. In previous blog posts, I've mentioned some of them:

American Pentecostalism Beginnings: An Overview
I grew up in a nondenominational, Charismatic church in small-town Nebraska. Our church operated with little formal structure, partly, I believe, because structure was seen as a hindrance to the free working of the Holy Spirit. Speaking in tongues and other expressions of the gifts of the Spirit were not unusual, and the worship was often exuberant and expressive. In short, my church was like many other 20th-century Pentecostal and charismatic churches in the United States. Because of my background, I've always been fascinated by the Pentecostal strand of American Evangelical Protestantism, but until recently, I've never taken a serious look at the scholarly work done in the field of Pentecostal history. My latest research project has fortuitously given me a great excuse to dive into the origins of American Pentecostalism, and what follows is a brief summary of what is, more or less, the current consensus story of Pentecostalism in its nascent stages.

I cycled round and round and round,
I pedalled faster, homeward bound,
I tried to find my way back home,
But unsuccessful, unlike some.
Some people have it easy,
Never feel queasy,
'Bout being lost,
No matter the cost.
And as I rode and rode and rode,
I thought about how I'd been lost in the road.

Hi,hi, I'm back again. Just to tell everyone out there that my name has a change in spelling. From Annie to Any. Why? Because this is what in my mind.Anytime,Anyhow,Anytime, I'll be there for you.Got the catch?
The topic I'll like to share is as above:- concerning about the usage of confetti. Well, using confetti in your wedding is alright, indeed is a good idea. But, must use at the right time and right angle.
For instant, "Walk in", that's a good time to use the confetti and for Chinese is a good gesture for using confetti because Chinese belived in loud noise/sound can drive away all negatives. But, Please, please ask the confetti popper not toaim the confetti towards the couple or their wedding line cos I have come across client that got the paper shredding in their eyes and had a hard time to clear their eyes to continue walking in as normal. Point the confetti upwards, to avoid any unnessicities to happen to the couple, for the day is their day, we have to try our best to give them the best memory.
Advice for emcee, if things happened, try to help the couple by saying things like thank you and etc....(whatever things that come across your mind) to help them cover the moment. I have tried my best on the past client and they thanked me for that. I really felt good instantly that I could help them for that moment. ( To me! wfew! Thank God for giving me the fast thinking brain. That really gave me a chill down my spine)
Next, some of my client tried popping the confetti during their champagne pouring moment. That would be fine if you have them to pop pointing outward but not towards the stage. For, I have come across this couple who ask friends to popped towards the stage where they were standing and the impact of the confetti actually shattered the champagne glass tower. That turned out really sour moment for their parents. For, Chinese believe is not good to have anything happen to the champagne glass tower ( which represent- the status of the couple's marriage ). Then again, emcee, please do your job by turning the situation back to positive again.
That's all from now first. Next, I will like to share more on other subject. Till then, let me straighten my thoughts first and shall share more with our couple to be. Cheers! (wait for my next subject, O.K., promise ya!)

Social media continues in its infancy, and many corporate executives still don't can Ieverage it prior to hosting organizations, large or small. They're too focused on the talking, and not focused enough inside the listening.
There are too many people breaking laws in our country and having by with this you will. Suddenly, your current products are only a person who's minding private business, and standing up for your rights, jobs, beliefs, political views, in order to coined as bad by media wall and some other. It is so stupid and redundant. Grandma's and grandpa's, clergy, ladies and children, farmers, businessmen and women, rich, poor, and in between, being made imagine that they haven't any rights regarding own area.
Credit cards are huge culprits. Unless you're paying your monthly balance off each and each and every month, you're "carrying" the cost of everything acquire and spending money for it with love. That means the $100.00 item you bought last week is squandering your $100.00 plus another 15 to 25 % or better. You, in fact, are paying more this list price for points. You're over-spending. You can't climb out of debt that way.
Gill: Could be a truth that the Death Penalty is way more expensive than LWOP (Life without parole). Go look upward. The facts and figures have come for anybody who wants study them. LWOP breaks the cycle of violence. Permits the inmate to make themselves useful, to earn their keep, if you will, and then make an effective contribution on the society possess wronged. It halts the growing report on murder victims and family victims.
In sum, as we know, by means of Computer to provide reside software packages is so practical and comfortable. You will not really feel bored about way home or perform. So it is time to suit your needs to perform a little thing now, and appreciate viewing live plans while sports activities or opera on your laptop or computer.
Sandra Bullock on the other hand, is America's Girlfriend. Jesse James hurt her and we feel like know how she is coming along. We want to hate can make wrecker that did this. This has been easy to do with all of Michele "Bombshell" McGee's white supremacy ads and Nazi wearing pictures.
In summary, the next step is. Actually the time was a year ago, yet it is not inside its final stages to start building an online presence. Moving forward, this cost effective form of advertising will reduce thousands in hard marketing the costs. Companies that don't have a Social Media Strategy or roadmap ready now, will in all probability fall behind by Q3 or Q4 of this year. I can think of few things more expensive than having to play catch-up, especially in the social media category. Item . "buy" relationships on the social online.

The singer, who gave birth to her and hubby musician Richard Jones' third son last month, was seen out and about with baby Ray and 3-year-old son Kit, according to The Daily Mail. Sophie, who's also mum to 8-year-old Sonny, was seen enjoying the sunshine as she stopped for an ice-lolly. The 33-year-old was seen pushing baby Ray in his new buggy. Earlier this year, our sister site ThinkBaby spoke to Bugaboo, who confirmed that Sophie had purchased a Bugaboo Donkey. Before the birth of baby Ray, Sophie revealed in an interview for her official website that she hadn't bought much in preparation for the baby's arrival, except for a new buggy. "The only thing we got was a new buggy, because the old one was looking really tired. We've gone for another Bugaboo," Sophie said. The mum-of-three took to Twitter over the weekend to share candidly what her kids ate for lunch when her hubby was left to his own devices. "I just popped out. Arrived home to find husband gave eldest children chocolate milkshake, crisps, coca cola and marshmallow fluff for lunch," Sophie wrote. It's great to see Sophie out and about with her little ones and, here at MFM HQ, we love Sophie's honesty about meal times!

People tend to think that the less they eat the more success they will have in achieving weight reduction. This is not the case at all; there are multiple reasons for avoiding this strategy and way of thinking.
In order to increase the metabolism of the body, there must be a constant supply of fuel. When a person does not ingest food every three to four hours in a day, the brain and adrenal glands perceive this as starvation, and send the body into a "fight or flight" state producing adrenalin and cortisol. These hormones cause the body to convert food into fat storage. This causes you to place calories in reserve, in case you continue this trend of extended periods of food deprivation.
The other system that becomes deregulated is blood sugar control; the pancreas' insulin production process becomes overly stressed. When you starve the body, the insulin that your pancreas produces will drive what little sugar is available in the blood stream, and cause states of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). This can lead to feelings of irritability, faintness, nervousness, and fatigue that are relieved by eating.
After repeated long- term bouts of this pattern, your cells become resistant to so many insulin surges, and subsequently this leads to insulin resistance or pre-diabetes. Then, you develop sugar cravings after meals; eating no longer relieves fatigue; and the cells of the pancreas become damaged, and unable to produce enough insulin. This leads to diabetes.
Because you are stressing the pancreas, the adrenals, and your brain, which must have glucose to function, this pattern subsequently stresses and deregulates the thyroid gland, which is responsible for the metabolism of the body, leading to fatigue and weight gain.
In order to successfully achieve weight reduction, one must eat healthy fat and protein every 3-4 hours, and especially one hour after waking, in order to neutralize the fasting that has occurred during the 7-8 hours of sleep the night before.
Exercise is also crucial, and must be done at least 4-6 times a week. This should include at least 30-45 minutes of aerobic activity to burn unwanted fat, as well as anaerobic muscle building exercises for 45-60 minutes. at least three times a week. The more muscle mass your body has, the easier it is to continue burning fat, even while at rest.
Proper sleep cycles are also necessary for a stable and functional metabolism. Seven to eight hours of normal sleep cycles ensures repair and regeneration that leads to healthy functioning for all tissues and organs of the body that regulate metabolism, and increase muscle mass.
Drinking at least 8-10 8 oz glasses of water per day is also necessary to keep the body hydrated, and be able to aid in eliminating toxins that are stored in the fat you are releasing, as you drop in weight.

Teaching your toddler to swim
Teaching your little one to swim can be great fun and really good exercise for both of you. But when do you start and how do you do it? We've got some tips that'll have your toddler swimming like a fish in no time!
When to take the plunge
It's never too early to introduce children to water. However, a toddler will only really enjoy the experience if their pool sessions are short and sweet, the water is warm enough (around 29-30°C), they're fit and well, and in the right frame of mind – so not in need of food, drink or a nap.
The benefits of swimming
- Water helps with muscle development, strengthens the heart and lungs, and improves co-ordination and fine motor skills
- Swimming will relax your toddler and improve their appetite
- Your toddler will love your focused attention in the pool, so it's a great way to bond.
How to teach your toddler to swim
- On your first few trips, choose a time when its not too busy; it'll be far more relaxing and you'll be able to fully focus on your little one.
- Obviously when you're holding your baby in the water you should never be out of your depth but your local pool may have a separate parent and baby pool, or separate sessions for them.
- To boost their confidence, hold them close, keep eye contact and talk to them and praise them the whole time.
- Take a familiar bath toy to play with – splash it away and whoosh your toddler through the water to get it back.
- Teach them to blow bubbles in the water, this helps them to learn how not to inhale all the water!
- Hold your toddler floating on their back and encourage them to kick the water.
- And don't forget to use a swim nappy to prevent 'accidents'!
If your toddler is not keen on swimming
- Make bathtime fun as a first step to being happy in water – get them used to having drops on their face.
- Use toys to distract: rubber ducks, floats and balls are ideal.
- Be positive and encouraging – try not to transfer any fears you may have.
- If your little one's not up for swimming one day, try again another day.
Pool safety
Until your child is swimming confidently, you or a swimming teacher need to be within touching distance of your toddler. Never rely on inflatable toys or swimming aids as life preservers. Children can drown quietly in just a few minutes, even in very shallow water.
Toddler swimming-bag checklist
- Money for the locker
- Swim nappies
- Arm bands or float jacket*
- Costume for you
- Fully-stocked changing bag
- 2-3 towels
- Toddler drink and snack for afterwards
*Never use swimming aids in place of close supervision

Ben 10: Super Jumper 3
Ben is one of the most famous hero that we have since he is the only that can transform into some aliens. Truly, his skills is one of the best and that is why, he hasn't lost to any alien that wants to conquer the world. At least, those aliens that wants to conquer the world that includes our own planet. Ben has save many alien before against hostile alien, but he always make sure that nothing bad would happen to his home planet, Earth. This shows his devotion to his home planet as he would never let any alien dominate this planet, despite the fact that there is the group known as PLUMBERs to protect our planet. This game might not show you anything about his alien changing power, but you would really enjoy this game for sure. The idea here is to grab as many alien balloon as you can without falling down. While the jumping part is uncontrollable, you can control the platform to which, you would be catching Ben as he falls down. It would also act as a bouncer since Ben would just bounce from that platform. The game gets harder and much more difficult as you make some progress.

WITH thousands of people flocking to the Capital every year for a taste of its Hogmanay celebrations, no one would doubt the popularity of the world-famous festival.
With thousands of people flocking to the Capital every year for a taste of its Hogmanay celebrations, no one would doubt the popularity of the world-famous festival.
And now the three-day extravaganza could be crowned the best cultural event in the country after it was named a regional winner in the prestigious Scottish Thistle Awards.
This week the event bagged the title of best cultural event in the Lothian and Borders region, with more than half of the categories being clinched by businesses from the Capital.
Judges said they were impressed with the "constant reinvention and innovation" used to keep the Hogmanay celebrations "fresh whilst engaging both international and local audiences".
The festival is produced by Unique Events and its director, Penny Dougherty, said she was "thrilled" to have done so well in the regional round.
She said: "[We] would like to thank everyone who helps deliver this world-class event for Scotland.
"We look forward to welcoming the world to this year's festival and to representing Edinburgh at the award finals in 2017."
However it wasn't just Hogmanay which did well at Thursday night's glamorous awards reception, which was held at Prestonfield House.
Another winner came in the form of the National Museum of Scotland, which was named the region's best visitor attraction.
The museum celebrated its 250th anniversary this year by opening 10 new galleries, which judges said offered "new, innovative elements to the experience".
Some eight categories were won by businesses or events from the Capital, with the Edinburgh Marathon Festival scooping the title of best sporting event.
The Royal Edinburgh was named the region's 'most hospitable' hotel, while Barony House won the equivalent title in the B&B or guesthouse category.
Chester Residence won the best accommodation provider category and when it came to food, the gong for best restaurant experience went to Number One at the Balmoral Hotel.
The awards also served to celebrate individual achievement, with Radical Travel's general manager Peter Duncan winning the regional ambassador category.
Edinburgh also scooped the rising star award, which was handed to the Can You Escape? director Alastair Watson.
Rebecca Brooks, chair of the Scottish Thistle Awards industry panel and VisitScotland board member, offered "huge congratulations" to all the regional winners.
She said: "It has been another record-breaking year of entries and winners, and indeed all finalists, should be very proud of their achievements in such a highly competitive field.
"Tourism is the heartbeat of the Scottish economy – supporting communities and creating jobs throughout the year in every corner of the country.
"The Scottish tourism industry and hospitality sector prides itself on delivering a rewarding experience for visitors and success here is both recognition of excellence and innovation, and a sign of quality.
"It is their warm welcome, embodying the spirit of Scotland, which makes the country a world-class destination for visitors."
This year the Scottish Thistle Awards received a record-breaking number of entries, totalling 715 across the 15 regional categories, an increase of 16 per cent on the previous year.
The regional winners will now be pitted against contenders from across the country in the Scottish Thistle Awards' national final, which will take place in March next year.

R.E.M., Van Halen set for Rock Hall; 1st rap act slated
EmptyModern rock mainstays R.E.M., hard rock legends Van Halen, "Godmother of Punk" Patti Smith, Wall of Sound girl group the Ronettes and rap pioneers Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five make up the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 2007, announced Monday.
The Grandmaster Flash collective — Kid Creole, Cowboy, Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel, Mr. Ness, Raheim — will become the first rap act inducted into the Rock Hall.
A panel of 600 industry figures selected the five acts to be inducted at the annual ceremony, set for March 12 at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. To be eligible for induction, this year's class had to release their first single no later than 1981.
The event also will pay tribute to late Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun, who served as the chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.
R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe and Mike Mills told Billboard.com on Monday morning that the band was particularly pleased to be in the same class of inductees as Patti Smith, an acknowledged influence on the band who called Stipe on Monday to congratulate the band on the Hall of Fame nod.
"It was really great to be able to say 'Congratulations to you' back to her," Stipe said. Mills added that "she's been up (for induction) before and hasn't gotten in. I was afraid that her lack of huge record sales might blind people to her influence."
Van Halen, meanwhile, will face a decision about performing at the ceremony with ex-frontmen David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar.
Jonathan Cohen is senior editor at Billboard. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

realtytimes.com - What is written about a home that's for sale may have a positive impact on its sale price. I've written many times about how professional videos and photos can help sell your home faster and possibly for more money but we can't forget the power of the written word.
A new study reports that the words used in listings can help increase the sale price of the home. On average, each property characteristic mentioned in a listing increased the sale price by just under 1% and the probability of selling the home by 9.2%, according to the study conducted by Bennie Waller, professor of finance and real estates at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia.

Arrival in and departure from UK: temporary non-residence: gains in year of arrival or return - years up to and including 2012-13
Where an individual arriving in the UK has not been resident or ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom at any time during the five years of assessment immediately preceding the year of assessment in which he or she arrived in the United Kingdom, the concessionary treatment is available under paragraph 1 of ESCD2. In such cases gains from disposals made in the year of arrival before the date of arrival are not chargeable to Capital Gains Tax.
Where the individual was previously resident in the UK and there are less than five tax years between the year of return and the earlier year of departure then the concessionary treatment does not apply. Gains from disposals made in the year of arrival both before and after the date of arrival are chargeable to Capital Gains Tax.
Note that the concessionary treatment under ESCD2 will always be available to a person who arrives in the UK to take up residence for the first time and who has not been resident for tax purposes previously.

I ended up building 2 of these. They are a full 8' tall, 4' wide, and 18" deep. They have a drilled peg system running the length of the sides. She wanted it painted but also wanted the texture of a deep woodgrain to be visible. Cheap CDX plywood is perfect for this situation. The shelves are faced with a 1 1/2" strip of pine with a 3/4×1/4 rabbit joining them together. I almost refused to paint it as I hate painting and did not have a sprayer. Glad I didnt as it turned out alright. Great learning experience for underbidding labor. Simple bookshelves but I enjoyed building them.

nerdkraft – I never prime anything. Because when I buy the final paint it is generally more than I need I just use 2 or 3 coats of it. But yes, priming will help if you don't have enough of your final finish to do multiple coats. The face frame was strips of 1x pine. I believe they were ripped from 1×12s.

Apart from the current issue, I am loving Zibbet so far. It's true that it doesn't have the pretty factor of Etsy - yet - but the company is amazing, the community friendly and welcoming, and the fees are so much cheaper. The biggest and most impressive thing about it is the presence of the CEO Jonathan Peacock in the forums. If you have a question, it gets answered, if you have a useful suggestion it is noted. It's just such a culture shock coming from Etsy to here - a good one! This company still has a social conscience and a real commitment to handmade. I am hopeful that this is going to be the next big thing and I am really excited to be a part of such a positive and creative community.
If you have a minute or two, drop in and have a look. And perhaps come back in a day or two, when things are working as they should.
The site is admittedly not as pretty as Etsy, but they are currently rebuilding the site so it will have a new fresh face in the near future. A lot of great sellers have moved there due to the changes at Etsy and they'd really appreciate your support in getting this site off the ground.
Yesterday I listed these pretties:
Soon I will have my new blog template with the shop button sorted out (see yesterdays Luddite post...), but until then you can find my little corner of Zibbet here.

In 1932, he married Pauline Schwartz against her parents wishes--he was very poor with few prospects. Frank and Pauline spent their honeymoon riding the subway. A kind friend let them stay in his basement where Frank found an old set of plumbers' tools with which he fashioned a small collection of animals from tin cans. He exhibited these early sculptures on an ironing board at the first Washington Square outdoor show. The director of the Whitney Museum, Juliana Force, bought all of them and with that money he rented his first store at 182 West 4th Street in Greenwich Village.
Copper "fish" ashtray given by Rebajes to his friend Enrique Riveron
At that time, my father, Enrique Riveron, was working as a cartoonist for a Spanish-language movie magazine. One evening, he and a friend were strolling in the Village where they passed a tarp stretched over a space between two buildings. Looking inside, he saw a young man and woman sitting on the floor, pounding on an anvil to make things from copper. When he saw the two men, Rebajes rose and invited them to come in to see his work. Dad wanted to buy something, but Frank insisted on giving him a "fish" ashtray. Thus began a friendship that lasted for almost 60 years.
Pauline and Frank Rebajes having fun
Relief exhibited on the wall
of the theater of the U.S. Pavilion
Frank Rebajes in
his New York workshop
1945, my parents and I went to live in Wichita, Kansas where my mother's
family had a business. My father and Frank wrote to each other regularly.
Rebajes' letters were always imaginative, playful and very irreverent. He
often included funny articles and photographs. He and Pauline came to see us
several times. During one of these visits, he helped my dad set up a workshop
to make jewelry, giving him some findings, metals, and tools. He taught
him the rudiments of metalsmithing and my dad made several pieces of copper jewelry.
Dad also "drew" figures and designs on sheets of aluminum and copper
boxes with a heavy cast iron tool with rotating wheels. Rebajes used
this tool to make lines on some of his copper or silver jewelry. I
now use that same tool on some of the jewelry I make.
At that time,
Rebajes store was on 8th street near
Sam Kramer's and the two were friendly rivals.

After a long period of studying books on architecture, Frank designed and built a modern house on Long Island near Malverne. The Rebajes bought an old overgrown orchard which they cleared themselves, catching poison ivy in the process. The house had a dramatic living room with floor to ceiling glass on one long side ending at a large rock wall and fireplace. On the other side of this wall, a waterfall dropped into a small pond in a greenhouse full of exotic tropical plants. Frank spent long hours working outdoors in the garden around the house. He had a workshop in the basement where he experimented with new ideas for jewelry. While making leather belts, he expanded into binding books with unusual leather covers.
While we were living in Wichita, Frank sent mother many of his prototypes: a
"birdcage" bracelet, sheet copper or wide leather belts with large
copper "buckles", moving gears on cuff links for dad, enameled
copper jewelry and a cigarette case, silver pins, rings, bracelets, and
necklaces. In the early �50s, when I was a teenager, he sent me a
"cool" leather belt on which he had experimented using various metal
studs, dyes, holes, writing, and bits of copper chain. He sent mother a
silver wire and green agate pendant (which also served as a pin) on a chain,
and a copper version for me. In the middle 50's he sent her a dramatic
square silver wire necklace and matching cuff bracelet with uncut quartz
stones. He would become very upset and angry about the costume jewelry
manufacturers who copied his work. I remember that his copper belts were
copied by Renoir and sold in some "reputable" department stores in
New York.
In 1955, dad and I returned to New York where I attended the Art Students' League and my dad looked into exhibition opportunities. We saw the Rebajes' often. During the holidays, when they needed extra help, I worked in their store. Where ever I went, I carried a sketchbook that was a sort of visual record of my life and friends. It included some drawings of the Rebajes and their store.
Sketch of "Aunt Pauline" by Patricia R. Lee 1958
Rebajes told elaborate, exaggerated stories with great flair. An example of this was the evening we went to eat at new Spanish restaurant in the west Village. It was a very small "mom and pop" place. Mama did the cooking and Papa did the serving. We stood in a long line for over thirty minutes to get in. Finally, we were seated inside, only to wait an hour or more longer. While we were waiting, Frank somehow obtained a bowl of "sopa de menudo" (tripe soup). He ate it with such obvious relish that the handsome couple at the next table could not resist asking him what he was eating. Soon they were involved in an animated conversation. "Didn't we see you in Le Mans last summer?" they asked. "Oh, yes, I was there racing my Pegasus," he replied. "Oh, really? What kind of car is that, we've never heard of it." "Oh, that is a very fine Spanish car!" He went on and on elaborating about the car and the race, absolutely fascinating the couple. Little did they know that Pauline always drove their car because he had never learned!
Dad and I went back to Wichita, and in 1959, I returned to New York to stay with the Rebajes for a couple weeks. They had sold their house on Long Island and moved into a garden apartment on East 37th Street near their store. The Rebajes were planning to sell the contents of the store and part of the workshop in order to move to Spain. Frank wanted to live a simpler life--the stress of having to produce so much was wearing him down. In the meantime, my roommate and I sailed on a freighter to Europe and, by the time we arrived in Spain, the Rebajes were already living in a rented apartment in Malaga, not far from Frank's brother Luis and his family. I think Rebajes had two brothers and a sister, but I only met the one in Malaga. They soon discovered Torremolinos, a picturesque little beach town about 40 miles down the coast. The Rebajes moved there a few months later, living above their new store and workshop.
Note from Rebajes to Noella Riveron
In the 1970's, Rebajes began to concentrate more on sculpture than jewelry. Some of his work was based on the Mobius strip and theories of synchronicity and movement. Along with making elegant steel sculptures, he took copious notes. He applied for patents in 8 or 9 countries for a mysterious discovery that precipitated his nomination for a French "Academy of Science" Prize.
Catalog for exhibition in Malaga, Spain of sculptures based on the Mobius belt, 1988
Rebajes felt misunderstood and mistreated by the provincial town fathers and bureaucrats of Malaga--his work was exhibited (under the auspices of the architectural college of Malaga's Cultural Commission), in a rarely visited location far from town. In a letter to my dad, he said that he had sent a large body of work for an exhibition in the Madrid Museum of Modern Art and also to the Pan American Union in Washington, D.C., but because of of political changes in the government, the show did not materialize either in Madrid or the U.S.. By this time, the store had been sold and Rebajes was living in a small apartment, an arrangement that forced him to leave the work in storage in Madrid. Where it is now, I don't know. His papers, film, and videos of this work are currently in the archives of the Fundacion Picasso in Malaga.

The most important user-visible changes are:
1) Starting with this release the probabel.pl wrapper script has been renamed to probabel. In order not to disrupt any current pipelines a symbolic link is created to the old name. When the user invokes the script with the old name a warning will be printed to encourage them to use the new name. The old name will remain available for several future releases, but will be removed at some point.
2) Improved convergence checks for the Cox PH regression module
3) Fixed a bug where ProbABEL crashed when having large indels in the info file
Thanks to all who made this release possible, by providing code patches, by being beta testers, by suggesting enhancements, or otherwise.

On the Poetics and Politics of the Afar Kassow
The Afar people have a rich poetic tradition pertaining to every aspect of their pastoral way of life in the harsh condition of the Afar desert. One of the many genres of Afar poetics is Afar Kassow the folk's poetized performance art. Scholars such as Morin and Hassan have identified the types and to some extent utilities of the various genres of Afar poetics, including Kassow however none fully presented the rich poetic tradition of the Afar society. The Afar Kassow is presented as poetry of accusation, defiance and resistance per se. Nonetheless, the vital utility of Afar Kassow for building consensus, empathy and understanding across wider geographic, political and social space has been unattended. It has a unique illocutionary and creative power emended in addressing the immediacy of the concrete and existential needs of the Afar people in the Horn. The poetics and politics of Afar Kassow have not been examined at wider scale and in a cross-generational manner from the period of Tola Hanfexe the leading poet of 19th century Afar to date. Therefore, this study, based on primary and secondary data, brings to light the multidimensional utility of Afar Kassow and related genres from multi-disciplinary vintage point. The authors argue that the imperative for invigorating the powerful role of Afar Kassow to keep historical themes reverberating across generations in the service of ideal of peace, reconciliation and democratic toleration of differences to the troubled local and regional relations in the Afar-Horn states. Still more vital is its utility for reducing violence (in all its forms and manifestations), increasing justice and constructive transformation of local and regional conflicts.

Today Rick faced the biggest photography challenge to date, with
two really big pieces (photos will follow soon) and three smaller
pieces. The Painter is not a typical Konovalenko sculpture -- note
the figure is static, not dynamic. The Fisherman is more dynamic,
having just lost the big one that got away. The third photo
attached is a close-up of the enamel cups that go with the Bratina
-- a very large enamel and cloisenee bowl with 12 cups. Note the
images on the cup -- it's Bosom Pals, which is a sculpture at the
Denver Museum of Nature & Science! When Rick has a chance to
work his magic on Hippo, we will post those photos. In the
meantime, look at one of mine! The Hippo is made of malachite. His
tongue is ruby, and his eyes are diamonds. Spectacular!

That's one reason why a bootable Macrium Rescue disc (CD/USB stick) should always be created and tested.
I never had a boot process crash 3 times in a row, so i don't know if Macrium automatically kicks in.
That's interesting though.
Yea, you beat me to it with more detailed info :)
This is exactly why I have it on USB flashdrive. And my backup image is on external hard drive. If I messed up my main drive, I will overwrite it with backup image. It won't help in terms of SSD speed if your backup image is outside the SSD (on external USB drive). You are still limited to USB speeds.
I would assume then, if you have your images are installed on a internal 2nd hard drive not on an usb external drive, that Macrium could still access your 2nd internal drive to repair your C-drive. Right???

If you subscribe to our newsletter you will remember a little while ago we sponsored two new chicken houses at Monkey World following a Facebook appeal.
As a thank you for the sponsorship, we were invited down to Monkey World for a guided tour.
On Sunday 12th July 2015 we took up the rather generous offer and had a fantastic guided tour with Mike Colbourne. Mike has been working with great apes since 1960 and has worked at Monkey World since 1997.
It was a slightly wet and miserable day, but Mike was a fantastic host. He drove us around in his golf cart, and we felt rather special. Especially as everybody recognised him from the Monkey Life TV show.
Despite it being slightly wet, the residents were on top form, and we got some great pictures. Here are a few of them.
With the summer holidays just around the corner, I can highly recommend a visit to Monkey World if you are looking for something to do while supporting a great cause.

WGA STRIKE UPDATE: RKO Pictures Reaches Deal with WGA East
RKO Pictures, the parent of which produced such iconic pictures as King Kong and Citizen Kane, signed a side deal with the Writers Guild of America East.
Writers have been on strike against the major studios since November, but the guild signed a number of side deals that paved the way for putting writers back to work at Lionsgate, Marvel Studios, The Weinstein Co., United Artists, Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, Spyglass Entertainment, MRC, Jackson Bites, Mandate Films and Worldwide Pants.
The major bone of contention between the writers and studios has been how and how much to compensate writers for new-media play. The two sides have not been talking formally since December, but new, informal talks opened up this week in the wake of a deal between producers and the Directors Guild of America.

Double Trouble
Posted on 13th March, 2007
Today hasn't been a good day for me. My server has been offline more frequently since the past few says. It's frustrating to say the least.
I think know what causing the problem but since I am not an expert in server administration I am unable to fix it once and for all. I am on unmanaged server by the way and now am considering moving to a fully managed server.
I've been on this server close to two years or so, and another two using other unmanaged server. I am ok with basic server setup and administrations but I guess I rather have the experts do those and the complicated tasks so that I can concentrate on building my business.
Then last night my computer crashed. Have to fix my Outlook data file and it seems to be working now.

As a child, I developed much faster then my friends and peers. I was athletic and focused on sports, so my newly developed breasts were just a hindrance. I was embarrassed – I couldn't understand why this was happening to me. I walked with my shoulders forward, trying to hide every new inch of me with loose, baggy clothing.
If only I knew then what I know now.

Vulture Conservation in South Africa
As southern Africa's only endemic vulture species, the Cape vulture population has been reduced to an estimated 2,900 breeding pairs across its range. Listed as 'Endangered' by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), breeding pairs of Cape vultures are no longer found in Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia, and conservationists in South Africa are working hard at trying to prevent these magnificent birds from becoming extinct altogether. The biggest threat to vultures is humans, as the birds collide with power lines and wind-turbines, are poisoned - either accidently through veterinary medicines present in the carcasses they feed on, or deliberately as some landowners see them as a nuisance – and suffer from food shortages as humans encroach on once uninhabited land and land predators are displaced.Read more..

Arizona escapes with win over San Diego State
Paradise found?
Well, more like paradise re-established for the University of Arizona basketball team.
Just barely.
Arizona coach Sean Miller said what he found – again – was Arizona's "big heart" in Tuesday night's 68-67 win over San Diego State in the championship game of the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu.
"It was a great game," Miller said in his postgame radio show. "You continue to learn about your team. One of the things we've all learned about our team is that we have a big heart and we have the ability to make big plays at the right time."
Late into the Christmas evening, No. 3 Arizona did it again, just 10 days after beating then-No. 5 Florida in last-second fashion. Sophomore Nick Johnson turned into the team's not-so-secret Santa when he flew in for an out-of-nowhere block on Chase Tapley's lay-up attempt in the closing seconds to keep Arizona one of just five unbeaten Division I teams.
"Nick's block was incredible," Miller said. "Without him there, the ball goes in the basket and we lose."
Instead, Arizona is 12-0 and partying like it's 1987-88, when it opened the season with a dandy dozen of victories before its first defeat.
This is the 25-year anniversary of that season, when Arizona made its first of four Final Four appearances. That team, led by the likes of Sean Elliott, Steve Kerr and Tom Tolbert, has been matched by this one featuring Johnson, Solomon Hill, Mark Lyons, Kevin Parrom and Brandon Ashley.
There they grow again.
"(There) was a resiliency throughout the game," Miller said.
What Arizona found was an opponent that was just as athletic and quick as it was. The Aztecs made it tough on the Cats for most of the night, holding them to 37 percent shooting, including just 5 of 23 from 3-point range. The Wildcats also missed 8 of 27 free-throw attempts, though they did convert 13 of 16 in the final half, including a clutch pair by Lyons with 13 seconds left that gave them the margin of victory.
Lyons, who hit the game-winner against Florida and again had the ball in his hands as the clock ticked down, finished with nine points on 2-of-9 shooting. Hill led the Wildcats with 20 points, and Parrom came off the bench to score 17, including a pair of 3-pointers and a rebound basket that kept Arizona in the game.
"I can't give Kevin Parrom enough credit," Miller said. "He made a huge difference. For him to have 17 points … every shot he took seemed to be a big one. He played like a senior and he played like somebody who has been through a lot of adversity and knows how to handle it. He's at home in pressure situations."
San Diego State had won 11 consecutive games since losing to Syracuse in its season opener and also had an 11-game win streak against Pac-12 teams come to an end. The Aztecs were trying to knock off a top-five team for the first time in program history but came up one shot short.
Neither team shot well. San Diego State made 43 percent from the field, including 23 percent from 3-point range. But the Aztecs went on a 14-4 run to begin the second half and take their first lead of the game. Arizona, however, resettled and got recharged behind the play of Parrom and Hill.
Arizona gets a week off before starting the conference schedule against Colorado on Jan. 3 in Tucson. Miller said his team is ready, but it needs the break.
"We've tested ourselves in a number of different ways," Miller said of the non-conference schedule. "We've played five games away from McKale Center. We've seen virtually every style. We've played against zones, mans and presses (on defense). We're prepared and we're healthy."

NEW YORK — Because the charitable deduction for income tax itemizers survived the Senate Finance Committee's surgical knife, a misimpression seems to have been created that charities are happy with the new tax proposal.
They aren't, and their determination to do something about it suggests how difficult it is to cut anything from the income tax laws. It carries another suggestion, too -- that a big battle still lies ahead.
