You can now get the Motorola XOOM tablet from as little as £250 from Currys with a free £10 voucher; the tablet was the first model to come with Honeycomb and the 1GHz dual core Nvidia Tegra 2 SoC when it was launched at CES last year.
Despite being more than a year old the Motorola XOOM still provides with excellent value for money as long as you can forgive some of its shortcomings.
It features a 10.1-inch 1,280 by 800 pixels display, 1GB RAM, 32GB onboard storage with a microSD card slot (and the capability of doubling the onboard storage capacity to 64GB for around £15), Android 3.0 Honeycomb, WiFi, HDMI, USB and Bluetooth, a five megapixel rear camera and a two megapixel front facing one, GPS and an array of sensors.
Motorola says that the tablet will be able to play up to 10 hours video playback and charges in less than four hours. Its main weaknesses at this point are its weight (730g) and its thickness (12.9mm).
Note that the deal, ends on Monday and represents a near 50 per cent discount off the suggested retail price of £480. The only competition at this price is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 which costs £1 less and is slightly smaller.


Here we are then with the final part of our albums of the year countdown. We've already taken a look at the records we ranked from 15 – 6 and today we reveal who made it into the Top 5 and more importantly who it is who has taken the coveted number one spot.
Before we get to that, here are a few artists and albums who were just outside the Top 15 but still worthy of a mention.
And a reminder of who has featured on the list so far.
On to the Top 5 but before we move on, a quick confession. We have got a joint number one at the top of the list. The two albums we have chosen have affected us in extremely disparate ways over the months and try as we might, we couldn't say we loved one more than the other. One is a sing-along indie gem, the other a heartbreaking piece of ambiance and emotion. You'll see what we mean when you get there.
Asked to describe their sound, Frederick Rundqvist and Mikael Mattisson classified it as "hopeful-electronic-mellow-pop with a lot of different influences", they pretty much nailed it. The album is full of confidence, of sanguinity, even in its darker moments there is an underlying sense of hope. Like the pea beneath the mattress of synthesiser sounds upon mattress after mattress of synthesiser sounds, try as you like, you will still be able to feel it there. "UR Road", for example, is carefree, joyously whistling away, happy and content with life. It's flamboyant, animated and uplifting with a smile that is infectious. Similarly, "Always", which follows it, is the bright sun shining on young, happy-go-lucky people laughing and joking as they travel and jape together across European fields, mountain paths, beaches. All those places beautiful people go in music videos. Not all the tracks are as overtly uplifting but there is a wistful tenderness to almost all, "The Hardest Choice", which features fellow Swede and purveyor of delightfully warm dream-pop in his own right, Summer Heart, begins and ends with birdsong. Rather than sounding twee, it completely fits the summery feel and transports you to the countryside.
It was a long time coming and almost all of the songs had been given away for free in one form or another before it even came out, but Instinct was an absolutely amazing piece of pop music. On their debut, Malin Dahlstrom and Gustaf Karlof and showed that pop can be dark and light, pop can exist and flourish in the corner of your mind, probing and stimulating, and pop can still quicken your heart without the need to mainline sugar first. Tune follows big tune as they take the best elements of pop's history and explode them across the dancefloor. The whole thing is undeniably infectious and in places utterly discolicious. "DJ, Ease My Mind" may start slowly but is soon a mass of compulsive percussion and hands in the air euphoria while "Somebody" makes you wonder what might have been if Prince still wrote like he did in his pomp. Instinct is just an utter pop joy.
Blessed with a velvet soft voice that just melts your heart, Jessie Ware broke out big style in 2012 with people falling over themselves to praise her, including a Mercury nomination, and with good reason. We were buying whatever she was selling which was exquisitely executed, soft and emotional pop music laced with R'n'B, electronics and soulful vocals. Devotion is a classy affair reminiscent of the sultry elegance of Sadé or the emotion of Whitney. "Running" is a glorious account of falling in love again while "Night Light" offers moments of simmering, dramatic intensity. Gentle melodies drip over subtle beats; down-tempo in style it may be but it still excites and moves the listener.
From the moment we first heard "Little Talks" we knew there was something special about Of Monsters And Men. A spectacular show at London's Lexington confirmed it and when we finally got hold of an import copy of My Head Is An Animal it didn't leave the car stereo for months. It's an album of rich indie-folk sounds overflowing with charm and whimsy. Largely fantastical in content, the listener is drawn in by its storybook feel. The songs evoke childhood memories, of fairytales, extraordinary adventures across Tolkien-esque landscapes and mythical beasts. All of which is presented by big, full sounds enriched by brass and accordion.
They don't only do imagination and wonder though; emotion and human nature also play their part. In "Love Love Love" for example which adds fragility and a sense of susceptibility by eschewing percussion. Once you realise the drums are missing, the effect is disarming and the song immediately feels exposed and vulnerable. It is a lovely contrast to the strong and confident early sounds of the album, "Dirt Paws", "Mountain Sound" and "Little Talks" are bold tales, laden with hey's and la la la's. Ready made for an audience to latch on to and sing along with, even if they have never heard the songs before.
It's hard to believe that Malcolm Lacey is only 19, such is the maturity and emotional depth of New Memory. He's prolific as well; this was his seventh release as Arrange in two years. Such rapid productivity has not diminished the quality of his output and New Memory is an evocative and heart wrenching piece of haunting ambient sounds and whisper light vocals. Unlike so many artists who use music to convey tales of love won, lost and won again, Lacey's lyrics recount an abusive childhood. Musically it plays like smoke on the wind, swirling gently it is poignant and ethereal. Lyrically there is such depth of emotion; it is hard not to shed a tear. Listening to "Where I Go At Night" in particular is like having your heart shattered into tiny pieces as he sings to his mother "I've been searching for years, and all I've got to hear you say is how you hurt so much, and that you blame yourself, but I hurt some too, and I know that you need help. If I could take it all, if I could lift your burden off of you, I would, if I could". Everything about this record is achingly beautiful; ignore the lyrics and you have some of the most wondrous floating sounds to enjoy, listen to the very real pain in Lacey's words and you have the most emotionally charged and moving piece of music you will hear in a long long time.
So there you have it, our albums of the year list for 2012. It was another great year for music and choosing which albums we wanted to include was surprisingly difficult. Now it's your turn, which albums did you love this year and what did you think of our list? Over to you.
Anyway. I also really like OMAM. def want to see them play in 2013.

Grandson put them on right away. We where getting into the car and next minute he had them on. I reckon that is a very big yes. good quality and very good art work they look as they they will last a lot of washes and plenty of wear on a 10 year old.
Great for the current Fortnite trend. Made a fab gift.
Very happy with the quality, both the thickness of the material and the durability of the lettering which is the grippy sticky stuff they put on the bottom of non-slip socks.
Bought for my 12 year old son, he thought they were brilliant. Good quality thick socks, a Fortnite lover must have!!
Quick delivery. Son loves them as they were a present. Haven't washed them so can't comment.
Bought as birthday gift for 11 year old who can't drag himself away from this game!

PokerStars.pt joins three-nation shared liquidity scheme
Posted By: NYCPoker 1125 Views pokerstars.fr, Spring Championship of Online Poker, the stars group incorporated
Canadian iGaming operator The Stars Group Incorporated has announced that its envisioned online poker shared liquidity scheme involving players in France, Spain and Portugal is now a reality after its PokerStars.pt domain was accepted into the tri-nation club.
Toronto-listed The Stars Group Incorporated, which is also responsible for the FullTilt online casino brand, stated that players at its Portugal-facing domain can now join their counterparts at PokerStars.fr and PokerStars.es in enjoying larger prize pools, better promotions and a wider selection of games.
The Stars Group Incorporated, which is in the process of buying British rival Sky Betting and Gaming from current owners CVC Capital Partners and Sky via a $4.7 billion deal, explained that the online poker shared liquidity scheme was first unveiled in July and allows players in the three previously ring-fenced markets to participate via licensed sites in a range of cross-border games. The operator furthermore detailed that it hopes to add Italy to this club as soon as 2019 but is still awaiting 'details of the country's involvement'.
Rafi Ashkenazi, Chief Executive Officer for The Stars Group Incorporated, described the recent Portugal approval as 'great news for players' before declaring that he hopes the first-of-its-kind move will result in continued 'positive results in those markets'.
"Adding Portugal to France and Spain will expand the pool of players in southern Europe," read a Wednesday statement from Ashkenazi.
To celebrate the entry of PokerStars.pt into the online poker shared liquidity scheme, The Stars Group Incorporated detailed that it will be hosting its inaugural Trio Series across the three sites next month featuring at least €5 million ($5.83 million) in guaranteed prizes including a €500,000 ($583,500) main event. This follows the operator's Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) 100-event extravaganza for players in Spain and France, which took place last month and saw some 37,000 players smash the advertised €10 million ($11.66 million) series-wide guarantee by some €1.7 million ($1.98 million).

Australia to witness hottest day on record next week
Canberra: Australia could experience its hottest day on record next week as a severe heatwave in the country's west was set to make its way east, weather forecasters said on Saturday.
Next week, the extreme heat was likely to continue in parts of Western Australia and also affect much of South Australia, where Adelaide should see highs of 40 degrees on December 17 and 19, 41 degrees on December 19 and 42 degrees the next day, the BBC quoted the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) as saying.
In Melbourne,Victoria state, the temperature was forecast to hit 41 degrees on December 20. The heatwave was also expected to affect areas of New South Wales and southern parts of the Northern Territory.
The current hottest day record of 50.7 degrees was set on January 2, 1960 in the outback town of Oodnadatta in South Australia.
Fire weather warnings have also been issued for parts of Western Australia and Queensland.
Meanwhile in Perth, Western Australia, temperatures were forecast to remain high on the weekend, reaching 40 degrees on Saturday and 41 degrees on Sunday.
"We're expecting some incredibly warm conditions as we head into next week, potentially record-breaking for a number of areas across southern Australia over the next seven days or so," BOM meteorologist Diana Eadie said.
The country, she added, could also see its highest average temperature record – when all of the maximum temperatures recorded on any given day are combined – broken next week. That record is 40.3 degrees from January 7, 2013.

New study reveals where people migrated the most in 2013
New Year's resolutions for your kitchen
Final Walkthrough Checklist for Home Owners
There are several reasons for people to pack up and move to another state. Whether it be due to employment, school, family, economy, or retirement, this study released by United Van Lines shows which states had the highest amount of transition from people moving in – and people moving out.
"We've been tracking the number of inbound and outbound domestic moves for nearly 40 years, and through our study are able to identify the states that are attracting or losing residents," said Carl Walter, vice president of United Van Lines.
New Jersey (62 percent) beat last year's top state from last year, Illinois (60 percent), reclaiming the top spot for the highest outbound migration. "New Jersey has been suffering from deindustrialization for some time now, as manufacturing moved from the Northeast to the South and West," says economist Michael Stoll, professor and chair of the Department of Public Policy at the University of California, Los Angeles. "And because it's tied to New York, the high housing costs may also be pushing people out."
Most of the states people are deciding to move out of are located in the Northeast and Great Lake regions. This trend is most likely due to the economic status of the surrounding area. However, Michigan finally had good positive outcome from the study. After 16 consecutive years at or near the top of the outbound list, the Great Lakes State appeared in the "balanced" category for 2013, with roughly the same number of people moving in as moving out.
"Business incentives, industrial growth and relatively lower costs of living are attracting jobs and people to the Southeastern and Western states such as South Dakota, Colorado and Texas," said Michael Stoll, economist, professor and chair of the Department of Public Policy at the University of California, Los Angeles. "We're also seeing continued migration to the Pacific Northwest as young professionals and retirees are drawn to amenities including public transit, green space and the local arts and entertainment scene."
Here are the rankings from the United Van Lines study:

Dundee, Texas
County Archer
Population 12 (2010)
Time zone Central (CST) (UTC-6)
Weather 16°C, Wind E at 2 km/h, 17% Humidity
Dundee is an unincorporated community located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 82, U.S. Highway 277, and Farm to Market Road 2846 in Archer County, Texas, United States, 25 miles northwest of Archer City the county seat of Archer County. Dundee is located within the Wichita Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Several families were already living in the area when the town was laid out on the T Fork Ranch between 1886 and 1890. In 1890 the Wichita Valley Railway Company established a line between Wichita Falls and Seymour and constructed a three-story hotel at the station the railroad's president is said to have named for Dundee, Scotland. That year Amanda Giddens built the first post office and became postmistress. A school had begun by 1891, and in 1892 the town was described as a post office and station on the railway with a population of twenty-five. The railroad brought in more settlers. By 1896 the population was estimated at 199, and Dundee had two livestock dealers, a clothier, a general store, a hardware store, a seller of notions, and a Mr. Biffle who sold organs. The Methodists and Presbyterians organized in the late 1890s, and the Baptists in the early 1900s. Dundee prospered and became for a time the second largest town in Archer County. In 1909 a bank was established with Alex Albright as president. Albright later became well known as the owner of "probably the largest Karakul sheep ranch in the world," just outside Dundee.
By 1919 the town had added some businesses, and the population was about 165. In the 1920s the population was estimated at 400. The oldest of the county's federated study clubs was founded there in 1921. Lake Kemp was built during the 1920s fifteen miles west and Diversion Lake four miles north, as well as an irrigation system for the northern part of the county. Diversion Lake provided both irrigation and the site for a 141-acre fish hatchery, which was still in operation in 1990. In 1929 a tornado crippled Dundee, which rebuilt most of its businesses, but with the Great Depression the town's growth was halted. The bank closed in 1933. The number of businesses dropped from ten in 1940 to five in 1946. By 1953 Dundee had an estimated population of 300 and three businesses. In the mid-1960s the population was seventy-five; by 1970 it was forty, and the town had lost its post office. In 1980 Dundee had no businesses, although the railroad still ran through and the population was forty. In 1990 the population was still forty, but dropped to twelve by 2010. Award-winning Western novelist Benjamin Capps is a native of Dundee.

Ben Ainslie makes rare impressive start on first day of Olympic sailing
Sam RossSunday 29 Jul 2012 2:48 pm
Ben Ainslie has made a great start to his bid for a fourth Olympic gold medal after coming second in the first two races of the Finn class.
Ben Ainslie finished second at the end of the first day of sailing at London 2012 (Picture: Reuters)
The three-time Olympian, who won silver at his first Games in Atlanta 1996, rarely starts well at the Olympics but managed second on the first day of sailing in Weymouth.
Ainslie said earlier in the week that it would be nice to get off to a good start for once but admitted the overall position at the end of the regatta, 11 races, was all that mattered.
It looked as though the 35-year-old would once again continue that pattern as he started the first race poorly.
He went around the first mark in 11th place but responded well and used the downwind expertly to progress through the fleet.
In the remaining stages of the second race Ainslie closed the gap on race leader Jonas Hogh-Christensen but failed to catch the Danish sailor, who also won the first race.
Hogh-Christensen is aiming to stop Ainslee from winning his fourth gold and equal the record of the famous Dane sailor Paul Elvstrom.
Christensen admitted in an interview last week that he would do his best to stop Ainslee equalling his fellow countryman's four gold medal tally, and has started by doing just that.

On my way home, I stopped at one of our city's trashy parks. I purposely picked the trashiest area I know in the park to further test the new Garrett 5×8 DD coil. Not five minutes into the hunt, I got a glimpse of a high tone among some mid tones and grunts. One thing I am beginning to LOVE about this coil is how it bites down onto a signal once you narrow the swing. I kept swinging over the cacophony of tones and kept narrowing the swing until I was hearing mostly the high tone. After a few narrow swings, the signal cleaned up and I got a beautiful high tone with a beautiful VDI of 81-82.
So the small coil is proving itself. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
Very sweet find! This really helps to prove your big theory that it doesn't matter if a detectorist has been there before or not. Glad you are liking your new coil!
That's what I'm talking about right there, a 1916 mercury, Heck yeah! The coil has just paid for itself in my book, keep on diggin'.
I tell you, I get the most joy out of getting silver out of our city parks. When I think about the class of my competition and the rich and long history of metal detecting in this city of ours, I am just tickled to be able to pull a coin that was missed.
That's what this new little coil is about; new tools to get those hard to get targets from the hard to hunt places.
Still waiting to find our first silver. Seems around here things sink fairly quickly.

Leah McGrath Goodman a journalist from Newsweek claims to have found Bitcoin's elusive and mysterious inventor who the world knows as Satoshi Nakamoto. While we all thought that the name "Satoshi Nakamoto" was a pseudonym, the name of the man Goodman claims to be the creator of Bitcoin is actually Satoshi Nakamoto. It seems that Bitcoin's creator had been hiding in plain sight all this time… or perhaps Goodman didn't find the right man?
One would question that if Satoshi didn't use his birth name for 40 years, why would he then use his birth name for Bitcoin? If he was going to go out of the Bitcoin picture, then why use his real name when he could be tracked down so easily? Some things don't exactly add up.
According to Goodman, the real Satoshi Nakamoto is a 64-year-old man who loves math, encryption, model trains, and lives in California. In addition to this, even though his background isn't clear, it seems that Satoshi might have worked in classified projects for the American military and large corporations, claims Goodman.
Instead of living in a luxurious home with a lavish setting, Satoshi Nakamoto lives in his humble family home in Temple City, California. This is definitely not the place one might imagine a person who is allegedly worth $400 million in Bitcoins would be living in. Satoshi Nakamoto also has six grown children, and lives with his 93-year-old mother, according to Goodman.
From 2009 to 2011, Nakamoto worked with other people to design Bitcoin. However, in 2011, Nakamoto disappeared from the Bitcoin project completely.
No further details were given. Interestingly enough no one knew that he was working on Bitcoin or that he was the Satoshi Nakamoto. Not even his family or friends new.
It is pretty clear that if this is the actual creator of Bitcoin, he didn't want to be found not was happy to be "discovered". This "discovery" of Satoshi Nakamoto has opened up more questions than given answers.
Coinreport will follow this story as it develops and report any further findings, stay tuned.

Research Shows Insights into Facebook's Irish Users Online Concerns
Editorial credit: / Shutterstock.com
Following on from the recent fallout from the Cambridge Analytica and Facebook controversy, the market research company iReach conducted a survey of Irish users to see what they make of it and to see how they protect themselves online.
The nationally representative survey of 1,000 adults shows that 66% of people in Ireland have a Facebook account but 80% of Facebook users in Ireland think that people are not fully aware of the extent of damage that posting online can have. Some 55% of users in Ireland think there should be more restrictions and policies put in place on social media platforms. Again, more females (61%) than males (48%) are concerned about this issue. In addition, 24% are unsure of what policies are in place now.
The survey also shows that 16% of Facebook users have their settings set to completely private, 66% have them set to private, 13% have them set to public and 5% don't know. More female Facebook users than male Facebook users are concerned about their privacy setting being private. This is borne out by the fact that 89% of female users have their settings on completely private or private, compared with 72% of male users.
When it comes to the content of what is posted on these social media platforms, who does the responsibility lie with? Although 63% of Facebook Users think that the responsibility lies with the individuals who post on the social media platform, 61% also think that is the social media platforms responsibility for the content that is posted.

The pound shop's Bling Ring range, which are marketed as so-called placeholder rings, caused a huge stir when they went on sale last month.
And they appear to have struck a chord with consumers, as the retailer says it sold 20,000 in the space of just seven days.
The rings cost £1 each, allowing one partner to propose with the placeholder before the couple subsequently choose a more traditional ring together.
It was a concept that brought the store widespread publicity, even prompting Piers Morgan to "propose" to Good Morning Britain co-host Susanna Reid live on air.
According to Poundland the rings have proved most popular in Yorkshire and the Midlands, which saw the biggest sales during launch week.


They are Buff Orpington chickens They are 21 weeks old today and today, I got my first 2 eggs! There was an egg in the nesting box when we let them out of the coop this morning and then I was standing there, talking to my mother on the phone about how I'd listened to Alouette "sing" for an hour or more in the nesting box, heard a "knock" against the plywood and opened the door to see Alouette and a fresh, warm, wet egg!!!
I ran the egg inside, rinsed it and promptly lightly fried it in a little butter. I slid it onto a slice of homemade bread with a little butter on it. I ate it. It was heaven. I cannot believe how beautiful it was, firm albumen, 1/2 inch high, tight, almost neon yolk. It was the best egg I have ever eaten.
In a perfect world, the theory is that we'll get one egg per day per chicken. That's 6 per day. I can do that.
I put it on a slice of homemade, buttered, bread. Split the bright yellow yolk so it ran into the bread and ate it hungrily.

(We'll Be) United
First recorded by The Intruders (US #78/R&B #14 1966).
Hit version by Peaches & Herb (US #46/R&B #11 1968).
From the wiki: "The Intruders were one of the first groups to have hit songs under the direction of songwriters and record producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff (Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, The O'Jays), they had a major influence on the development of Philadelphia soul. In 1965, when Gamble and Huff first contemplated leaving the Cameo-Parkway record label to risk launching their own label, the vocalists on which they pinned all their hopes and venture capital were The Intruders.
"Gamble and Huff's success with The Intruders helped convince Columbia Records to grant them the money to launch Philadelphia International. '(We'll Be) United' was the first charting song for The Intruders, peaking at #14 on the Billboard Soul chart, and #78 on the Billboard Hot 100, in 1966.

Japan-Korea Crossing on PWC
Report on Japan-Korea Crossing on PWC.
Mr. Ito journeyed across the water on his own VX Cruiser. He was accompanied by a mother ship captained by Mr. Takeda from Marine Club Navy PWC shop in Fukuoka, and the seven crew members on board gave him full support. The PWC solo restriction zone is only 3.7 km from shore, but the mother ship allowed him to navigate beyond that zone.
We spoke with Mr. Ito about his remarkable feat at the age of 70, and with his support team leader, Mr. Takeda, who has also made the Japan-Korea crossing.
Mr. Kazuhiko Ito
Mr. Ito (left) and Mr. Takeda
YAMAHA: Congratulations on your amazing adventure, making the Japan-Korea crossing at the age of 70. What made you decide to take the challenge?
Mr. Ito: I wanted people to know that even a 70-year-old like me can pursue adventure. I work in a hospital and I wanted to give people who are ill and people who are older like me some encouragement with my challenge. Another reason was to use marine sports to promote exchange with people in Korea. I just wanted to have a casual grass-roots international exchange with our neighbor, Korea.
Mr. Takeda: I've done the Japan-Korea crossing so I know how difficult it is both technically and procedurally. I wouldn't have helped a person with a half-hearted attitude, but Mr. Ito's pure desire to make the challenge really moved me.
YAMAHA: Tell us about your first contact with PWC.
Mr. Ito: I first started riding PWC after I turned 60. I was standing on the shore watching PWC flashing through the water. It made me desperate to ride one. It's been 10 years since then.
YAMAHA: Why did you choose the VX Cruiser for this challenge?
Mr. Ito: It was fuel efficient. I consulted with Mr. Takeda and he recommended the VX Cruiser. The waves were pretty high but it still only used about 70 liters. The VX Cruiser is also easy for anyone to handle. It was perfect for me.
Mr. Takeda: More than anything else, PWC reliability was the most essential factor for this challenge. Everyone takes it for granted if you succeed in your adventure, but if you fail, it's called reckless. So we couldn't afford any mechanical problems. That's why I recommended the VX Cruiser, because it has the durability to stand up to a 9 hour trip.
YAMAHA: 9 hours is a long ride. What were you thinking while you were in the saddle?
Mr. Ito: The waves were steep and I was really busy concentrating on steering. I was thinking, "What do I do if a bigger wave hits?" That was ALL I was thinking about. But when the water was calm it got a little boring and I caught myself humming.
Mr. Takeda: I remember that he was practicing the speech he planned to give when he arrived in Korea.
Mr. Ito: That's right. I completely forgot my microphone for talking to the mother ship was on. That was embarrassing.
YAMAHA: What was the most difficult part of the trip?
Mr. Ito: It got really difficult from about 4 hours into the trip until I reached Korea when the waves got steep. The roll of the waves made my wrists hurt and I started losing my gripping strength. It stayed that way until we were very close to Korea. However, Mr. Lee (president of Korea Marine, which handles all Yamaha imports) came out to greet me and that made me very happy.
Mr. Takeda: Refueling was also difficult. We had practiced but it didn't go very smoothly because of the steep waves. It took five of us to hold down the rowdy PWC so we could finally refuel.
With Mr. Lee of Korea Marine(right side)
Mr. Ito and 4 crew members refueling the PWC
YAMAHA: Mr. Takeda, you were the team leader for the support team. What was the most difficult part from the support side's point of view?
Mr. Takeda: A challenge like this that crosses from country to country has difficulties in procedures other than just the distance issue. There are a lot of rules that have to be followed. We also needed to keep in mind that Mr. Ito is 70 so we had medical staff on board just in case.
Mr. Ito: I would never have been able to meet this challenge on my own. I would like to thank Mr. Takeda and all the team members. Without their teamwork I never would have succeeded. And of course I want to thank my family for giving me their understanding and emotional support.
YAMAHA: Do you have a new goal now that you've made the Japan-Korea crossing?
Mr. Ito: I would like to try for a Japan-Korea round-trip next year. I've already started training for that. I do 100kg bench-presses for muscle training two or three times a week and jog to keep in shape.
YAMAHA: Last question: do you have a message you would like to share with the world?
Mr. Ito: There are still so many ways to enjoy life even when you're older. But I think only PWC can give you full enjoyment of the sea by enabling you to become one with the machine. As long as my body can go on, I want to continue. PWC are only for young people?! No way! The older you get the safer you drive. On top of that you have more time to enjoy life. I believe that this challenge of mine proves that PWC are quite easy for anybody to ride as long as they keep safety in mind. Please don't limit PWC to young people only. PWC are for people of all ages.
Mr. Ito, thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure with us!

Mexico goes mad for the Cornish Pasty!

Walking through a Mexico City metro station on a recent visit, a crowd of people queueing at a particular food stand caught my eye. It turned out they were waiting to grab a bite of something that commuters in British railway stations will be very familiar with..... a nice hot Cornish Pasty!
The story goes that in the 1820's, the owner of a defunct silver mine in Real del Monte, Hidalgo province, wanted to try and get his mines working again. At the time the only people in the world with the state of the art skills and equipment needed to pump out the flooded mine shafts and restart it were tin miners from Cornwall, and several hundred of them were persuaded to make the (usually one way) trip to central Mexico.
Life seems like it was pretty tough there - most of the gravestones in the town's English cemetery ( apparently all the graves face north-east back towards England) show the names of men born in towns like Camborne, Truro or Redruth, and there didn't seem to be many that survived beyond 40.
The town is now a big draw for Mexican tourists, and is a government designated 'pueblos magicos' (magical town) for its heritage, beauty and almost Alpine climate (the air is cool and clear at almost 9000ft above sea level which is a big attraction for Mexico City-based weekend visitors).
As well as being remembered for their work in rebuilding the silver mining industry, the Cornish miners bought 2 other significant things with them which would have a lasting legacy in Mexico - football (the oldest team in the country is in nearby Pachuca and was started by the miners), and more interestingly from our point of view, those Cornish pasties!
Over the last century the plain old Cornish pasty became Mexican-ised (especially as it turned out that swedes don't grow too well in Mexico!), so alternative ingredients were needed and the original meat and potato filling got spiced up a bit with Mexican seasonings. Until recently it was just a slightly forgotten speciality of this remote part of Hidalgo state - but judging from the roadside food stalls around Pachuca, the pasty is much more popular locally than tacos or enchiladas etc, but it hadn't spread much further.
For various reasons I couldn't quite get to the bottom of, the last 5-10 years have seen the pasty (paste in Spanish) really start to become more well known around the country - possibly because it's a 'new' snack food for students and kids in town, or it's similar to the widely known empanada. Some of the various new pasty chains in city centres of Mexico City and Guadalajara have some kind of reference to the miners, or to Hidalgo, and some even mention London or claim a link to an authentic English recipe, but there aren't many mentions of Cornwall unfortunately (I guess the average Mexico City commuter has never even heard of Cornwall...).
The modern Mexican pasty doesn't bear that much resemblance to one you might pick up in Padstow, but to be honest a spicy chicken tinga (shredded chicken in a red chipotle chilli sauce), or pork mole (pork in a dark chilli and chocolate sauce) filling actually makes a really good pasty! There are even chocolate, pineapple or sweet rice pudding ones for breakfast.
It was amazing to see how globalisation (in this case from events nearly 200 years ago) has eventually led to completely new foods being created, and how it's something that's actually happening all the time in virtually every country in the world as cooks continuously experiment with new flavours, techniques and ingredients.
At the Spicery we're always aware that so much of what we eat in the UK is influenced by ingredients and combinations from our own global history, and it was fascinating to see it happening in reverse in Mexico. What might be next - scones and clotted cream get a tropical makeover in Malaysia, or Cottage Pie gets reinvented in Cambodia....? Can't wait to see the results!

Fennboree Report…
Posted on May 31, 2014 at 9:44 am by dal
Submitted May 2014
The Fennboree was a fun event hosted by Desertphile on the weekend of May 16-17-18 at a remote ranch north of Santa Fe. This report was submitted by Bill who attended with his wife Sandra.

When we first read of the Fennboree on Chasechat, we thought: "Yeah, that'd be fun." After resolving a potential medical issue, we decided to sign up for the event. First, though, Bill went to Walmart & bought a tent & double-high queen air mattress, placed them in the back of the SUV, added our suitcases & cooler, and evaluated how much space remained. It fit, so we paid our money and planned our trip.
While it would have been ideal if we'd been able to search after the Fennboree, it was to be the last real stop on our trip since we needed to get back to Missouri and have our B&B ready for the Memorial Day weekend. We'd used Google Earth in conjunction with the Fennboree website (http://fennboree.org/) to get a feel about how the site was set up; we'd been fairly close to it in 2013, when we attempted to get to the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The Fennboree was held at Gallina Canyon Ranch covering both the Anasazi Ruin Camp & Wild Turkey Camp. The ranch runs along the mostly-dry Rio Gallina, in a wide canyon overlooked by imposing cliffs on both sides. The map link is http://gallinacanyonranch.com/map-ranch.htm – just zoom in.
Before the Fennboree, Desertphile put in a sweetener. He placed his "Faux Fenn" treasure, some old Navajo pawn with turquoise, somewhere in the vicinity of the camp – and wrote a Faux Fenn poem with clues to finding it. Bill read the poem, zoomed down with Google Earth, and said, "I can find this!"
We left on our trip on May 6th, visiting places like the Coronado Quivira Museum in Lyons, KS, the dinosaur trackway at Clayton Lake State Park, and the little town of murals at Mosquero, NM. After a few days in Taos, a couple in Santa Fe & Albuquerque, and a visit to Chaco Canyon, we left Cuba, NM, bright and early on May 16th for Fennboree. A quick stop for milk at Bode's in Abiquiu and north on US-84 to the forest service road that would take us there. The road was rough except when close to the Chama, and we had 8 miles of it until we reached the curiously-named skull gate. Bill figured out how the lock worked, opened the gate to let the SUV in, closed it, and we drove up an even rougher road to the ranch.
We got to the Fennboree site about 11 AM – it was easy to tell that we'd arrived with the prominent Fennboree sign. Desertphile met us and said "camp anywhere." We'd made a deal with Tim Nobody that he'd handle our food, so we needed to be near where he could park a trailer-tent. That was the Anasazi Ruin Camp, with an actual shelter building (the Wild Turkey Camp shelters were gazebo canopies). It also had a shower with cold and warm (propane instant water heater) water, and an airy 2-hole outhouse – called airy because the back was open from top to shoulder height and the door was a slatted gate with an "interesting" sign. We set up our tent on the west side of the shelter and blew up the air mattress with the blower. First oops – the mattress wouldn't go through the tent door until we let out a lot of air, which made it rock and roll like a half-full water bed. About that time, Tim Nobody arrived and pulled into his recommended parking place. He got a little too close to a log and got to reattach his front plastic bumper after Bill worked the log out from under his car. He set up his rather unique trailer tent, pulled out his kitchen area, and set up a canopy. Second oops – a gust of wind flipped the canopy. After we got it back in place, that offending log did penance by acting as an anchor.
We now said to ourselves, "It's time to go find that Faux Fenn treasure." We followed the plan Bill had come up with and walked to the high bank over the Rio Gallina, then followed the bank upstream until we found a gently-sloping ravine leading down to the stream. We then went downstream until we found a good place to climb out on the north side, climbed the bank, looked around, found some baling twine leading running up into a tree. Below where the end of the twine frayed away, we found a peanut butter jar with the necklace & brooch. We put a $5 bill in the jar and tied it to the tree, and started to return to camp. Once back in the stream bed, we found a partial elk skeleton and a big hunk of white rock, which was later identified as travertine limestone.
On our return, we discovered more people had arrived. We'd previously met Crayola John and now Grandma & friend Gilbert were setting up a tent under some trees not too far from the Wild Turkey Camp outhouse – the one with no door whatsoever. Bill helped them restring the supports, while Sandra moseyed back to the SUV to properly store her find. Before long, another car rolled in. This was CCJulie and son Brendan. They set up a family-size tent in the Wild Turkey Camp area.
During this time, Dal showed up with Aussie TV Magazine reporter Nick in tow. Nick interviewed almost everyone there at the time on how they got into the Chase, how much they'd searched and what their thoughts were on it. He also shot the "Shrine" set up by Desertphile. Dal discussed the latest revelation by Forrest Fenn (Where Warm Waters Halt is unrelated to a dam) and the information about Ojo Caliente and Tres Piedras that he since posted on his blog (https://dalneitzel.com/2014/05/19/the-tewa-connection/). They had to depart, as Dal had to be at work Monday in the Puget Sound area and Nick needed to go to Phoenix for another story. I hope his You-tube video will include out-takes, since he did a lot more filming than needed for a 15 minute program.
Back at Anasazi Camp, Tim fired up his propane oven to cook some pizza. Here came the wind again, and made it rather difficult to keep the oven at the proper temperature. The top was tasty but the crust wasn't very crusty. I guess we can call that oops #3. Oops #4 was the so-called 'shark tank,' a rather large stock tank in which we had expected to freeze our unmentionables off until the sun heated the cold spring water used to fill it. Desertphile, after the cold & snow earlier in the week, had guessed that the weather wouldn't be warm enough for anyone to want to use it, so didn't fill it – then a strong south wind raised the daytime temperatures well into the 80s (had he filled it, we might have seen whitecaps in a stock tank).
As evening approached, plans to sit around a fire, roast marshmallows, swap lies and consume adult beverages came to naught. A burn ban was in effect for the whole area, and understandably so. After some idle chatter, which did not relate to the Chase, all retired to their camp sites. We spread out our blankets on the jiggly air mattress and crawled in. Did you know it gets COLD at night out there? Especially when the wind keeps blowing? The air mattress offered no support when it came time to crawl out for that midnight visit to the airy outhouse, and leg cramps from thigh to ankle resulted. Sandra eventually ensconced herself in the back seat of the SUV, while Bill snuggled as best he could into the remaining blankets.
Morning came, with relatively calm winds. Tim was making breakfast, bacon & scrambled eggs to go into breakfast burritos. He had Bill do the eggs, not always a good idea. Sandra went for the burrito, enhanced by green chiles, while Bill savored the bacon and pushed the eggs around on his plate – should have added green chile!
After breakfast, it was time to head for the Rio Gallina and some photos while the morning light softened the harsher aspects of the landscape. Others picked this time to go hunting for the Faux Fenn replacement treasure. Bill had told Desertphile of his find, and Desertphile had added a Treasure Hunter charm bracelet to the trove. Two bracelets had been donated by "Deb" (blog handle), who couldn't attend, to be awarded to deserving campers at Desertphile's discretion. After reaching the Rio, Bill went upstream to photograph more views of the mountains and a red outcropping he'd noticed the previous day. Sandra went downstream to take more pictures of the elk skeleton. Desertphile stayed in camp waiting on another camper, Jim Hawkins, who'd intended to get there fairly early (boy, did he miscalculate). Julie and Brandon had driven off to the area of the Monastery, planning to look for Fenn's treasure upstream from there on the Chama.
As afternoon came, the replacement Faux Fenn treasure had not been found, so we sat around the Wild Turkey Camp discussing the Chase and clues and hunts done and planned. Meanwhile, Jim Hawkins, with new wife Angie and two younger children (Maggie & Zach), finally arrived and set up their tent well down toward the Rio. While the rest of the campers chattered, Tim's wife, Beachy, said she was going back to Anasazi Camp to take a shower. About 4 PM, Desertphile declared it was time to start supper, and the adventure of starting propane stoves in strong winds was underway. Tim returned to Anasazi Camp to make green chile stew, while Grandma started to thaw her frozen meatballs to complement the spaghetti planned by Desertphile.
About that time, Gilbert came into camp and said he'd seen Beachy heading down the exit road, tried to follow her but she was moving out too quickly. Bill and Desertphile jumped into Desertphile's truck and started after her, soon meeting Gilbert who said her tracks had left the road someplace & he could no longer find them. Desertphile drove down the road, and verified no further tracks, then went the other direction, again finding a lack of tracks. Then we all decided to think a bit. We went back to camp and checked shoeprints to positively identify Beachy's tracks. Tim went off with Desertphile in the truck while Bill took the Tim's stew to the other camp. Meanwhile, Julie and Brendan had heard what sounded like a cry for help from way up in a side canyon.
More thinking – we found that Bill had two radios and Julie had two radios – but they weren't compatible. We left one of Bill's at camp with Sandra and Bill took one of each, while Julie used hers. Back to the road and we again heard, faintly on the wind, "help, help," so Julie and Brendan started up one trail, Bill another, then came Desertphile. We met in the woods, Bill decided he was too old and too much a flatlander to climb further, so he stayed in one place as a relay. Beachy called out just enough for the searchers to home in on her location, way up the side of a steep slope near a cave (she later said "I heard a growl."). Bill relayed the news to camp and eventually the rescue party returned with Beachy. It was time for an adult beverage or two!
Dinner was restarted, this time without interruption, and a couple of bottles of wine made their appearance. Desertphile presented one of Deb's bracelets to Julie in thanks for her efforts in finding Beachy that day, along with a Fennboree mug and Fennboree playing cards. Brendan had earlier locked Julie's keys in the car, but Crayola John had the knowledge to get into the car and rescue her from a bad situation, given the distance from "civilization."
Night came. We had torn down our tent, re-aired the mattress, and moved to an area inside the shelter. That didn't help a lot, as the wind continued and we were still cold. The only thing that kept us warm was a good snuggle. About the only improvements in our situation were that the bed was more stable and the muscle cramps when getting up were milder. Naturally, we woke up early, emptied the mattress and loaded everything in the SUV to prepare for an early departure. Tim had made cinnamon rolls, which were very tasty.
We went over to the main camp, where Julie had again failed to find the Faux Fenn treasure (she hadn't gotten the emails with the poem in advance so hadn't pre-scouted as I did). Bill said, "I'll show you" and led Julie & Brendan down the crossing, down the Rio, up the other side and to the proper tree. Meanwhile, Sandra won the T-shirt awarded for naming the Wild Turkey Camp shower. Satisfied, we returned to camp. After farewells, we pulled out about 9:20 for the trek back to a main road – with a stop to pick up a box of those blue rocks we found along the road. Our route included a trip through the Brazos mountains, through Taos & Cimarron to Raton, arriving dead tired a bit after 4 PM.
Later, we learned that the Faux Fenn replacement treasure had not been found, and that Desertphile had awarded the bracelet to Crayola John for unlocking Julie's car. For anyone who wasn't there but thought they could have found the Faux Fenn treasure had they been able to attend, here's the poem and my interpretation of the clues:
[1] Begin it where cold waters halt – Cold water runs into the "shark tank," where it is warmed in the sun.
[2] Forsake Orion's winter cold, and
[3] Set out towards the House of Bear – Orion is in the southern sky in the winter; Polaris (north star) is in the constellation Ursa Minor (the little bear). My interpretation was that I should go north from the location of the "shark tank." Since this couldn't be done directly because of a fence and a steep creek bank, I used Google Earth to approximate where the line would run.
[4] 36.37 is the altitude, not the azimuth – Interestingly, it's also the approximate latitude of the ranch. However, I thought it would be about 36 feet over the stream bed. This may not have been exactly correct since the jar containing the treasure was originally hanging from a tree branch.
[5] The six points will stump you – I didn't find this clue, which was a 6-point shed elk antler on a stump, with an arrow beneath it pointing toward the treasure.
[6] But it won't be for long:

Dal, where is Mrs. Dal? Also, when can we view the ff interview with the mate from down under?
dal on May 31, 2014 at 8:04 pm said:
Kathy prefers more amenities than Esmerelda can provide so when I go playing in the mountains Kathy prefers to stay home and go garage sailing and antiquing. She likes the mountains too…but prefers motels and bathtubs and things…
We take some trips together and some trips it's just me and Ezey..
Nick's story on Dateline in Australia will not air for a few more weeks. They just started editing it..
I'll keep us posted about that..
Pam on June 1, 2014 at 5:24 am said:
Dal, I'm with Kathy. I love the outdoors, but when the day is done I want a hot meal and a hot shower. I can't wait to see the interview. Any insight on what was covered? Thanks and have a great Sunday.

Pam-
We should get to see Diggin Gypsy turn over every rock and beer can in Montana. He also interviewed Ranger Reid, Forrest, a Native American at Chaco Canyon and the Fennboree folks as well as going with me to my spots at Ojo Caliente and Tres Piedras which Forrest called a travesty to searcherkind or malfeasance or something like that…He apparently figured my spot was laughable..None-the-less Nick and I had a good time looking.I think he said the story could be 15-20mins in length. He has a lot of material.

Thanks for the story Old Drum. Awesome!
True I was late, but it turned out to be a great honeymoon.
We met some nice people and consider ourselves lucky to have seen some of this countries last wilderness.
Our trip began in our church. I'm non-denominational, but bill myself as the Jewish, apostolic, rasta. I'm sure our pastor likes that?
It was a nice gathering and quick. Shazzzzam! It was followed by a great chocolate cake.
We stayed at home that night and packed our look alike cop car…(the Crown Vic) for the trip…
whoops wrong kind of car to take to the Desert.
Packed and out the door by 6am…lie. 8 am, we made Denver in 15 hours. There, we stayed with some old friends… who talked for 8 hours before finally releasing us… okay I'm a liar… we had a great time and didn't want to leave…they had it going!
Out the door from Denver by 8 am…lie… 10… okay 12 pm we made Cimarron by 4 something…I kept stopping to take pictures….PICTURES… are important. I messed this up my first few trips by NOT taking enough pictures of these times to not be forgot!
I called DP Desertphile, and said we were running late at which point he aaid we shouldn't try to drive his road at night! So…
We decided to stay in Cimarron.
Sadly, the St. James was packed, but happily the Cimarron Hotel wasn't. And what an awesome place with nice people running it.
We stayed in the Fishing Suite. Each room has its own theme… ours was packed or decorated with area fishing tackle and antiques. It had twin beds with a wall in the middle for privacy, and a small fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The bath and most everything else looked all brand new and well kept. 65 bucks.
The next morning I had to beg the family to load the car…we were out by 8 am… okay 10 or 11…geez, it was our honeymoon.
I called DP again and said hey we're on the way is there anything you need? I think he was being funny when he said ICE…. Ice in the desert sounds like a commodity? I agreed to pick some up and at Bodes; but I think I saw the friendly police officer I had met the year before… we both took double takes, then he tucked his head and walked away…Thank God!
From there it was the longest trip ever!!!
It is…the real where in the H E double hockey sticks am I…for lack of other langauge. THE ROAD WAS SIC!
After what I thought was a rough ride we were there and met with a smile by Desertphile and the other Fenboree ers.
The rest is legend.
OH Except for the cactus… those are not to be mucked with…We took a few home by accident…ouch! And the Ice… it was delivered with a smile.
Mark H. And the Misses.
ANGIE and the kids said to say thank you and the desert is beautiful!

The kitchen set-up was really nice. Didn't see a pot of beans though. I have to have my beans. The breakfast burritos with the green chile sauce sounded good. I must be hungry.

There are several restrictions that apply to shrink operations on databases.
The shrink database operation may move pages saved as resume points for reorg subcommands (for example, forwarded row, reclaim space, and so on), reorg defragment, and similar utilities. The resume points for these utilities become invalid when these pages are moved. You can resume these utilities only at the beginning of the table or partition.
You cannot shrink master, model, archive, proxy, temporary, inmemory, or other databases with reduced durability.
You cannot include the off parameter with the alter database ... on, log on, and log off parameters.
You cannot run a shrink database operation simultaneously with dump database, dump transaction, or other alter database commands in a single database. The shrink database operation cannot run if these commands are in progress in the indicated database.
Shrink database operations fail if you start them while a dump transaction is already running. If you issue dump transaction while a shrink database operation is in progress, SAP ASE terminates the shrink database operation to allow the dump transaction to proceed. You can restart the shrink operation by issuing the same command after the dump transaction completes.
You must run a shrink database operation in single user mode if you specify a page range to shrink only part of a device.
Shrink operations may create a hole when they remove space from the middle or end of a database. You can perform transaction log dumps after a shrink database operation that creates a hole in the data segment, although the transaction log may include a dependency on the data that occupied the hole when you load the transaction log.
SAP ASE may issue error number 3193 and this message when you load the transaction log: "Database '<dbname>' does not have space allocated for data page <pageid> from the dump. Extend the database by <size> MB and retry the command"..
You may need to extend the database before some (and potentially, every) subsequent transaction log dump in the load sequence.
To avoid this error pro-actively, Sybase recommends that you perform a database dump immediately after you perform a shrink database operation.
Query sysusages to determine which holes require filling.
Note: During these sequence of steps, the data holes you filled with the alter database command may be re-created by the load transaction command, and SAP ASE may report error number 3193 error when you perform the next load transaction. If this occurs, repeat these steps for every load transaction you perform.
Shrink database operations do not update indexes marked as suspect on tables whose pages will be moved as part of the shrink operation. After the shrink operation completes, these indexes remain marked as suspect, and may include references to data pages that are part of a device hole. Running dbcc checktable on tables with suspect indexes may result in error number 806 (this is expected). Instead, drop and re-create these indexes, or repair them with reorg rebuild table or dbcc reindex(table_name, 16).

Terre Promise is 100% Rolle (Vermentino) estate-bottled by Chateau Henri Bonnaud from vineyards at the foot of Mt. Sainte Victoire, immortalized by Paul Cézanne. Dry and full-bodied with intense aromatics of white fruits, honeysuckle and rich citrus flavors. Aged 4 months in barrels. Agriculture Biologique = organic farming.


Never used them with DD, never saw the point of them.
We moved DS (10 weeks, hilariously long child) into his cot tonight as he'd outgrown the moses basket. Just popped upstairs to find him awake and looking concerned about the fact that his leg was sticking through the bars! He has been retrieved and we're about to put him back down but I'm worried about his leg getting stuck again.
So. What I can do as a quick fix this evening? Are cot bumpers dangerous, should I get one, should I get a padded one or one of those breathe through mesh things?
I was always very set against cot bumpers and now I am confused!!"
I always heard not to use them for under 1 yr olds. My ds was moved into his room a few weeks ago - another big boy! We use a sleeping bag for him, so his feet can't get trapped, we used one with dd as well, I think they're great.
which are suitable from birth as they're breathable.
I'd recommend a sleeping bag too.
she said it's brilliant and keeps him in the same position she left him in!!
We have a traditional padded one that goes around the top of the cot, tbh if I was buying again I'd probably go for one of those mesh ones as it's legs and arms that get stuck through rather than heads!
For tonight, you could fold a single flat sheet length ways and thread it through the cot to secure it so as to ensure LO can't pull it out. Otherwise a sleeping bag keeps little legs contained, although quite hot for them at the moment.
Will be interested to see what others say.
Hope you manage to contain LO tonight!!
since LO could roll around I have used bumpers all around the cot as he bangs his head and limbs. It's got worse since he started crawling.
I've never had a problem with bumpers *touch wood* but he has a sleeping bag too so his legs are confined, i.e. he would be hard-pressed to climb out. Still, I do worry about them not being breathable.
I would get an airwrap one but you can't use them on solid end cots.
...but I may invest as they would be breathable and safe.
Mesh bumpers for solid ended cots are available on the link in the post above actually...well worth it I think. I'm so confused by all the advice as I have read not to use then once able to sit unaided as can be used to climb out the cot, so that would mean after 12 months would be against advice, but have also read not to use before 12 months! The mesh ones are breathable and also collapse so can't be used for climbing, so believe they are safe, although not pretty like traditional ones!
I use them for dd, she is 8 months old and I think it is needed becuase when she is awake she rolls around and crawls around the cot banging her head and squashing her head off the top. I dont understand when they say that they cant be used until they are a year old when at a year old they can pull the bumper off easier.
hi there - we got the breathable ones that xkellyx has posted the link too - they are just brilliant i really cant recomment them enough - we have had them for 4 days now and no more stuck legs and i folded it into 4 and could still easily breath through it.
a very good ??20 well spent!
Ta ladies - we put him in a 0.5 tog sleeping bag that I found and he was fine, I'll give him a few more nights and monitor the limb situation, but if he gets stuck again I think the meshy ones might be the way to go.
My son is 15 weeks old, and had to go into his cot when he was 12 weeks as he had out grown his moses basket.
hi babyB, thanks, i've actually just ordered one today, the 2 sided airwrap.
just wondering what you do about the solid cot ends - does it have no protection then?

La leche en polvo o leche deshidratada se obtiene mediante la deshidratación de leche pasteurizada. Este proceso se lleva a cabo en torres especiales de atomización, donde el agua que contiene la leche es evaporada, obteniendo un polvo de color marfil claro que conserva las propiedades naturales y sus nutrientes que tiene la leche normalmente. Para beberla, el polvo debe disolverse en agua. Este producto es de gran importancia ya que, a diferencia de la leche fluida, no precisa ser conservada en frío y por lo tanto su vida útil es más prolongada. Presenta ventajas como ser de menor coste y de ser mucho más fácil de almacenar. A pesar de poseer las propiedades de la leche natural, nunca tiene el mismo sabor de la leche fresca. Se puede encontrar en cuatro clases básicas: entera, semidesnatada, desnatada y deslactosada. así como estar enriquecida con vitaminas A y D.

Historia
La leche en polvo fue producida por primera vez en 1802 por el doctor ruso Osip Krichevsky. Se halla abundantemente en muchos países en vías de desarrollo a causa de su bajo costo de transporte y almacenamiento (ya que no requiere refrigeración), doce meses si se empaqueta en bolsas de 25 kg y de seis meses en el caso de paquetes de 200 y 400 kg (la cantidad del producto en el envase es un factor importante). Al igual que otros productos secos, es considerada no-perecedera y es preferida por supervivencialistas, y otras personas que necesitan alimentos no perecederos fáciles de preparar.

Procesado
La característica principal del procesado es la atomización (el denominado sistema spray). El procesado depende en gran parte de la temperatura necesaria para su elaboración, que suele ser por regla general alta (180 °C), media o baja (temperatura de pasteurización). Se vigila en todo momento la existencia de gérmenes o de impurezas que induzcan a una disminución de la calidad del producto final. El proceso de deshidratación es capaz de reducir al 50 % de los contenidos hídricos existentes en el contenido de la leche inicialmente. El envasado más efectivo para este producto lácteo es el de envases de hojalata al que se le suele añadir una cierta cantidad de dióxido de carbono. Una de las mayores industrias en el procesado y producción de la leche en polvo es la multinacional de la alimentación Nestlé.

Nutrición
La leche en polvo es uno de los primeros candidatos a ser alimentos funcionales y por esta razón se le suelen añadir vitaminas A y D3. La leche en polvo puede contener hasta un máximo de un 4 % de materia grasa (la mayoría de la leche en polvo se elabora a partir de leche descremada), siendo un tercio aproximadamente de su peso de proteína. La leche en polvo se considera extremadamente digestible.

Usos
Este tipo de leche es comúnmente usada en preparaciones al horno, en aquellas recetas donde la leche líquida puede hacer que la preparación quede demasiado ligera. Se emplea generalmente con agua caliente, que le hace recobrar en apariencia el aspecto original de la leche. Con 125 g de leche en polvo se puede reconstruir casi un litro de leche líquida, es decir, por cada kilogramo del producto disecado se llega a obtener ocho litros de leche para el consumo.

También se puede utilizar como si fuese un sustituto de crema para el café, dando como resultado un café con leche al gusto.

Many times I am asked, "Eric, how do I know when it's time to go?" This is a very hard question to answer and I will do my darnedest to try and answer it.
While it is true that a relationship wont make you happy, a bad relationship will can cause you a great deal of misery.


The Cascade Mountains take up a large chunk of the state of Washington, separating the wet and mild western section from the dry and more extreme climate of the east. Major peaks in this mountain range include Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, Mount Adams, and Mount St. Helens. This makes Washington a great place for anyone looking for a mountain getaway.
Mountain resorts make for wonderfully refreshing getaways. Whether you want to find a comfy seat on the porch to take in a fabulous view or to get out and hike to a waterfall and viewpoint, there is something to appeal to everyone. These Washington resorts offer the full package—stunning mountain locations, quality accommodations, nice dining options, and a variety of on-site and nearby activities.
Located on the sunny eastern side of the North Cascades, Sun Mountain Lodge is a full-service resort that offers a variety of accommodations and a long list of facilities and activities. The resort complex is sprawled across a large property crisscrossed with recreation trails. Well-appointed guest rooms are located in the main lodge and the nearby Gardner and Mount Robinson buildings. Luxurious cabins overlooking Paterson Lake, complete with kitchens, are nearby. Fine mountain-view dining featuring fresh local products is available in the Sun Mountain Lodge Dining Room. The Wolf Creek Bar & Grill serves an equally delicious menu in a more casual environment. After a day spent hiking local trails or shopping charming downtown Winthrop, you can enjoy a hot stone massage or rejuvenating facial at Sun Mountain's spa. Outdoor pools, tennis courts, a recreation room, a gift shop, open lawns, picnic tables, and indoor and outdoor seating areas are among the on-site facilities where you'll enjoy spending time with friends and family.
Suncadia Resort is just an hour east of Seattle in Cle Elum. Both a resort and a community, Suncadia has everything you need on the property and is also convenient to the year-round recreation available in nearby National Forests and Washington State Parks. Perched in the eastern foothills of the Cascade Range, this resort offers splendid territorial views that include vast forests and the Cle Elum River. The range of experiences you can enjoy at Suncadia Resort makes it suitable for all kinds of getaways: family vacations, romantic retreats, girlfriends weekends, and man-cations. The accommodations for resort guests are found at the rustically-elegant The Lodge at Suncadia or the more intimate The Inn at Suncadia. Renting a grand vacation home is another option. Major facilities at Suncadia include the Glade Spring Spa, three golf courses, the Swim & Fitness Center, and miles of hiking and biking trails.
Situated along Icicle Creek just outside of Leavenworth, Sleeping Lady Resort is a haven of beauty, both natural and human-made. The resort has a colorful history. In the past, the lands and buildings have served many people and many functions, from Civilian Conservation Corps camp to Catholic retreat. Today it is a complex that includes lodgings, several dining options, and the Solstice Spa. Sleeping Lady guests can enjoy a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, from the library and fitness room to the organic garden, outdoor pool, and badminton/volleyball court. Wonderful works of art are scattered throughout the grounds and facilities, combining with the gorgeous mountain surroundings to make the resort a refreshing escape that you'll want to repeat again and again.
Guests at Skamania Lodge will enjoy gorgeous Columbia River Gorge views, elegant accommodations, and access to on-site and nearby recreation. Massages, facials, and body treatments are on the menu at Skamania's Waterleaf Spa and Terrace, which also offers indoor and outdoor soaking pools. Miles of wooded hiking trails wind through and around the Skamania Lodge Golf Course. Fine dining is available in the Cascade Dining Room, with casual fare on the menu at the River Rock - both come with great views. If you want to get out and explore, you'll find that the nearby Gifford Pinchot and Mt. Hood National Forests, along with the Columbia River Gorge National Recreation Area, offers all the adventure and scenery you could ask for.
While the rooms at this historic park lodge are modest, the Mount Rainier setting ranks among the most spectacular in the world. Located on the mountain slopes at 5,400 feet elevation, amazing views are available in every direction. Open from late May through September, Paradise Inn's charming common areas include a grand lobby filled with handcrafted furnishings and a huge fireplace. The mezzanine that wraps around the lobby is a great place to take in the rustic architecture and hand-painted wildflower hanging lamps. Meals are available in the Dining Room and at the cafeteria in the nearby Paradise Jackson Visitor Center. The best thing about staying at the Paradise Inn is the access to miles and miles of local trails that pass by creeks and waterfalls, through wildflower-filled meadows, and towards ever-changing and magnificent vistas.
Whether you love playing in the fresh snow or hiking among the alpine wildflowers, this year-round resort at the edge of Mount Rainier National Park is the perfect mountain playground. A relatively small resort, Alta Crystal Resort offers lodge-style suites along with access to a wealth of outdoor recreation and gorgeous mountain views. In the winter you can spend the day skiing or snowboarding and return to Alta's heated outdoor pool and hot tub and your in-suite fireplace. Hiking and horseback riding are among the summer fun that can be had in the forest and parkland surrounding the resort. You can dine in your suite's kitchen and dining area; groceries are available on-site, or you can choose to have pre-cooked meals delivered to your refrigerator to heat up when ready. For a special treat, take the new Mt. Rainier Gondola and enjoy dinner at the Summit House Restaurant.

Wonderful Waggish and Witty Words
Fabienne Stassen	on 3 April 2018
Category: Wonderful Words
Tag: English, rapscallion, rascal, terms, waggish, witty, wonderful, words
Our Wonderful Words series highlights odd and marvelous terms that may not be well known or are little used.
Rapscallion
Rogue, villain, scalawag, knave – they're all synonyms for rapscallion (a mischievous person; a rascal or ne'er-do-well). An archaic word, its origins led to a rich evolution of terms that started with "rascal". Recorded as early as 1330 and deriving from the Old French rascaille (outcast, rabble), "rascal" was modified in the 17th century with what Oxford Dictionaries calls an "apparently fanciful ending" to form "rascallion".
That word "didn't sound quite mischievous enough", according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, and led to the addition of the letter "p" to form rapscallion. The term often carries a humorous quality: think of Robin Hood to some degree, or Captain Jack Sparrow, the fictional character portrayed by Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, and you'll get a sense of what a rapscallion is.
But that's not the end of this tale. A word similar to rapscallion in spelling, pronunciation and meaning makes the term all the more intriguing. "Rampallion", according to the blog The virtual linguist, originated in the 16th century and may have derived from to "ramp", or to "rise on the hind legs" as used in heraldry. It also connoted when people would "gesticulate or behave in a furious or threatening manner".
By all measures archaic, rapscallion still rears its mischievous head in unlikely circumstances. Its colorful etymology has inspired names for products, groups and businesses: the Rapscallion Seafood House & Bar in Reno, Nevada; RapScallions, a US band from California; the Rapscallions, an antagonistic army in the book The Long Patrol; and Rapscallion Wines of South Africa. Rapscallion Brewery of Fiskdale, Massachusetts even posts an eloquent explanation on its website: "[Rapscallion] appealed to us for its history, its uniqueness and most of all its association with rebelliousness. We've always cheered for the underdog, the self-made man and the Robin Hoods of the world, because we believe in living with humility, working hard, and giving back."

Climate and availability of indigenous and imported resources characterized the development of architectural patterns in Bangladesh. Pre-Muslim monastic architecture followed an indigenous style with terracotta décor, emulating important influences of the period and the region. The Mughals brought about an fundamental change by introducing elements of central dome, arches and tall central entrances. The European style was first observed in the churches of Dhaka and then in other buildings. At the turn of the nineteenth century, a hybrid of Mughal and European styles emerged. Modern architecture in its diverse form started appearing only in the 1960s.
