At the end of this afternoons game, Kansas City Chiefs Todd Haley refused to shake Todd McDaniels hand. Instead he choose to lecture McDaniels for some reason.
A reporter for the Kansas City Star summarized that it was probably because the Broncos kept their starters in and running up the score. He said that KC pulled its starters in the game in Denver last year after blowing out the Broncos.
If that is the case, Haley has no justification for that. The score was 35-0 towards the end of the second-half and the Chiefs scored 10 points before half-time. In the second half the Broncos only score 14 more points while the Chiefs score 19 points, including trying onside kicks when you usually don’t expect them.
There was a couple opportunities at the end of the game where the Broncos would have probably tried a FG, but the punted on the first one from the KC 36 yard line and then tried to go for it on fourth and 4 from the 32 yard line of KC.
That is not running up the score. The way the game was going, the Broncos could have put a lot more points up.
It’ll be interesting to see what comes of this, but in my opinion Todd Haley was way off base and needs to channel his frustration over the last two losses and work to improve his team.

Modern medicine is looking to tissue engineering to solve many disease states through the harnessing of the body¿s own repair mechanisms. Every day in the news we are seeing exciting glimpses into the application of tissue engineering for the replacement of tissues and eventually organs within the human body. Thus, the aim of the module is to provide the students with a rigorous understanding of the underlying themes of tissue engineering and equip them for the future developments that will impact significantly on their career as biomedical engineers. The module starts with an examination of how cells grow and differentiate into tissues, this is from an engineering prospective looking at the cell interactions, adhesion and mechanics. The importance of stem cells in regenerative medicine will also be discussed. In order to engineer tissue the cells environment must be controlled so the module features a comprehensive examination on the design and production of scaffolding to guide cell growth and differentiation. This is accompanied by a similar assessment on the use of specialist bioreactors to amplify cell numbers, entrap cells in scaffolds and condition them so that they will survive implantation. In the latter part of the module case studies are used to reinforce the processes involved in tissue engineering. Thus, the module finishes with a consideration of the current state of the art of tissue engineering with applications including cartilage, bone, skin and artificial organ engineering.
This module looks at medical devices implanted within the human body and prosthetics, from two perspectives; i) how to engineer devices/implants to best deliver the required biological function and ii) the impact of implants on the human body.
This module is an advanced look at the design, fabrication and optimisation of medical implants and prosthetics. Case studies will be used to bring together engineering concepts and apply them to key devices that are used to treat disease and assist patients.
This module provides an introduction to the analysis techniques used in nanotechnology, and general surface science, including scanning probe microscopy, electron and diffraction techniques.
The module aims to equip the student with an understanding of the concepts behind bionanotechnology. To achieve this the student is introduced to the relevant biological processes that control life with nanoscale systems. This knowledge is established from the perspective of nanoscale engineering.

Now that the first poster is available as a model, the series is open to submissions. If you wish to contribute an original design, please send an email before starting any work to receive approval, to minimize inadvertent duplication, and to learn about technical requirements. As is the case with other CID Publications, posters should be created initially in English. Given that translations of the Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue have received so many views, where specific quotes are provided, anyone who wishes to translate their own poster into another language (or two) is invited to design that as well. If you want to volunteer to translate someone else’s poster into a language in which you are fluent, send in a note before starting, to receive approval and to confirm no one else is working on the same one.
As the opportunity and need to move between physical and virtual spaces has increased, more people experience the world as mobile and interconnected (see e.g. Douglas Fir Group, 2016; Kramsch & Whiteside, 2008). On the one hand, this has enabled participation in dispersed communities and markets; on the other hand, as communication, meaning making, and culture have become deterritorialized, interculturality has revealed itself as more complex than the ability to mediate across cultural differences. At the same time, patterns of mass migration and economic globalization have meant local contexts are also shaped by transnational flows of capital, knowledge, practices, and modes of communication. As a result people in today’s world must develop the capacity to negotiate and navigate dynamic demands.
In 2018, CERCLL (Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language, and Literacy, based at the University of Arizona) will host the Sixth International Conference on the Development and Assessment of Intercultural Competence which will focus on Intercultural Competence and Mobility: Virtual and Physical. The conference will feature presentations and workshops that consider intercultural competence in connection with global trends of migration, travel, and digitally-enabled mobility. Of particular interest are contributions that address the changing state of intercultural competence in a mobile world.
CERCLL invites proposals for individual papers, symposia, roundtables, posters, and workshops (half-day/full-day) with preference given to topics related to the conference theme of Intercultural Competence and Mobility: Virtual and Physical.
About a year ago, Johanna Maccioni asked if I would write an article for a special issue of the journal Les Politiques Sociales on Les compétences interculturelles: Enjeux, pratiques, perspectives [Intercultural competences: Stakes, practices and perspectives] which she was editing with Cédric Juliens. I agreed, and wrote the draft, which we discussed when we both happened to be in Paris in April. It was translated over the summer; in fall Yves Winkin helped by reviewing the entire translation with me when we were both in Victoria. The issue has just been published, and is now available. As a Belgian journal published in French, the overview provided below is in French, however abstracts of all of the articles are available in French, English and Spanish. My thanks to Johanna for the invitation which led to a model of intercultural collaboration.
Lors de vagues de migrations successives, des millions de personnes ont gagné l’Occident dans la perspective d’une vie meilleure. Migrants et natifs du pays d’accueil ont alors fait l’expérience de la rencontre. Mais quand les différences culturelles sont perçues sur le mode de la hiérarchie, des rapports de force s’installent. Les travailleurs sociaux doivent-ils préconiser l’assimilation ou négocier sur fond d’interculturalité ? Et lors de cette négociation, quelles compétences les acteurs mettent-ils en jeu ? Ce numéro propose un état de la question des compétences interculturelles. Il clarifie certains enjeux identitaires, explore des pratiques actuelles et pose une réflexion pour l’avenir.
Continuing with translations of the Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue, today I am posting KC3: Intercultural Competence, written by Lily A. Arasaratnam and first published in English in 2014, which Ramin Hajian Fard has now translated into Persian. As always, all Key Concepts are available as free PDFs; just click on the thumbnail to download. Lists of Key Concepts organized chronologically by publication date and number, alphabetically by concept, and by languages into which they have been translated, are available, as is a page of acknowledgments with the names of all authors, translators, and reviewers.

theautismblog: Can you tell us how you became so familiar with autism?
Mr. Cooper: I am a fourth grade teacher in a general education class in Washington and I’ve had students with autism in my classroom. But 99.9% of what I know about autism comes from being a stepparent of a child with autism.
theautismblog: How many kids with autism have you had in your class over the years?
Mr. Cooper: I have taught 4th grade for the past sixteen years. For the first eleven years, none of the students in my classroom had an autism diagnosis (that I knew of). In the past five years I have had six students (that I knew of) with autism in my classroom.
theautismblog: So you’ve seen an increase?
Mr. Cooper: I would say that is an increase. I am not sure if it is an increase in the number of kids diagnosed with autism, or an increase in the number of kids with autism in a general education classroom, or an increase in the number of parents who talked to me and told me about their child. Perhaps all of the above.
theautismblog: Parents often ask about the benefits and risks of disclosing their child’s diagnosis such as qualifying for services vs. having a label. Can you tell us your thoughts about sharing a diagnosis with a teacher in a general education classroom?
Mr. Cooper: In my experience, open and honest communication is the best way for a child with autism to succeed in school. It should happen early and it should happen often and it should be from home to school and school to home. Educators are bombarded with everything society has to offer. We need you, the expert parent, to help us help you and your child. Meet with your child’s teachers as early as possible to help them understand your child. Tell them what works with your child and what doesn’t. Let them know that certain behaviors your child might demonstrate are not at all intended to be disruptive or disrespectful.
theautismblog: Do you think kids with autism are accepted in school? What steps have you taken to encourage awareness, acceptance, and inclusion in your classroom?
Mr. Cooper: Kids with autism are accepted in school by accepting kids and staff and in schools where diversity is respected and valued. Since I am a parent, I have found many opportunities to encourage awareness, acceptance, and inclusion. As an example, I have read aloud the book Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko. The main character’s sister has autism. This has led to my talking at length about my daughter. The kids ask many good, thoughtful questions. When a parent starts to tell me about their child, they often are anxious and unsure of what or how much to tell me. I try to put them at ease and let them know that I have a daughter with autism. The reaction is one of relief that I “get it”.
theautismblog: What would you say in general about autism awareness in the general education classroom?
Mr. Cooper: We have a ways to go to educate educators. In the countless seminars and classes and meetings and professional days that I have attended, not once was a class on how to work with a student with autism in a general education classroom offered. We can’t expect our public school teachers to be able to do a good job without offering training. This world gets more and more complicated each day. And schools, especially public schools, are a reflection of society. Autism is another piece educators need to learn about and learn how to deal with. I sometimes feel overwhelmed as an educator by all that is expected of us with so few resources.
theautismblog: What are some of the lessons you’ve learned because of your experience with autism?
Mr. Cooper: Autism is hard to understand, especially if you don’t know much about it. I find myself coming in conflict with things I have said and routines that have been seemingly unquestionable. For example, at the start of the year we always spend time reviewing class and school rules. One piece of that is, “Students, how do you show me you are being a good listener?” And of course, Keep Your Eyes on the Speaker is rule number one. Well… this is not always the case! Kids with autism can have difficulty keeping eye contact and listening at the same time.
I think most people get into education because they enjoy teaching and respect learning, at least that’s why I did. For the first part of my career it was difficult not to take personally what I thought to be disrespectful behavior. Autism has taught me not to do that.
theautismblog: If you could give any tips or advice to parents whose child might be starting in a general education classroom for the first time, what would it be?
Mr. Cooper: I wish that all parents of kids with autism would be able to confidently disclose their child’s diagnosis without worry about any risk. If you are a parent of a child with autism and your child spends time in a general education classroom, I suggest you contact the teacher and set up a conference. Do this as early as possible. As educators we want all kids to succeed. You know your child better than anyone and we need your help to best understand your child’s unique strengths and needs.
-Use a calm voice, don’t yell.
-Use as few words as possible to make your point.
-Allow fidgety kids to hold a discreet manipulative such as a small squishy ball or piece of fabric when working on tasks.
-Keep classroom distractions to a minimum.
-Allow kids to sit up front where there are fewer distractions.
-Use visual schedules to help with predictability and transitions.
-Ask parents! They’re the experts on their child and have specific helpful tips.
-Help kids interact with peers. For many, it doesn’t come naturally.
-Know that kids with autism experience the world differently. They often experience sensations at a heightened or exaggerated level. This can lead to upset and confusion.
-Behavior is communication. Look beyond/before/beneath the behavior to see what your student is trying to tell you and what the function of the behavior is.
-Disruptive behavior most often isn’t intentional disobedience or willful misbehavior.
-Repetition is key to learning – do it/say it over and over again.
-Most kids with autism are visual learners. Listening is difficult. Write things down, use minimal words, use pictures.
-Give kids advance warning of what is to come. For example, “in ten minutes, we will be putting our things away and going to lunch”.
-Be patient. Give kids time to process new information, requests, tasks.
-Respect personal space, don’t get in their face.
-Cues that typically indicate a child is paying attention (such as eyes on teacher, sitting still) don’t always apply. Many kids with autism have trouble looking at you and listening at the same time. To pay attention, kids may need to look down or away or have a manipulative to feel settled.
I enjoyed this article. Thanks for putting an article out there, which shows a general education teacher who shows that he cares about our kids.
Thank you for your input on this subject. Your point of reference is very helpful in trying to address the issues that parents and children on the spectrum encounter. May I ask what school district you teach in and what school district your step-daughter is enrolled in?
Hi, Great article. It is good that we have autism knowledgable teachers teaching our kids, at least in some areas. I have read on some parents’ blogs that at the beginning of the year, they come in and do a presentation about what autism is, broken down into language kids can understand, so the classmates understand why the autistic child acts as they do. I have seen some great ways to approach this. I wonder if you have ever done this for a kid with autism in your class or seen a parent do it? It’s a shame that teachers don’t generally get more training in this topic, but those who do have awareness could perhaps spread it to others.
The tips in this article are very similar to another article I read recently about tip for teachers of autistic students (http://www.aspergerssociety.org/articles/32.htm).
Thanks for being who you are and keep up the good work!
Hi Kathy, thanks for your comment. We touched base with Mr. Cooper and he says that is a very good suggestion and he would welcome it.
Hi, terrific article, thank you. My son is six and in K now and in the public school system. I’m writing to see if you might consider a future post about whether there are other options for parents for schooling. Seems like there would be magnet, or specialty, or some sort of other school options for autistic/spectrum kids out there….but it would be interesting to see if A) there are options and B) if so, what they are in the Puget Sound area. Thanks for the great information on this site!
Hi Kevin, thanks for the kind words. You bet, we will cover that topic- school options for kids with autism, in the hopefully not-too-distant future, stay tuned!
Hi. Its a very good article and my son dont get cooper kind of teacher. He is 6yr old autistic child and always placing him in the out side of the classroom. He dont have communication too. Please help us the teacher is not let us (parents) to enter his classroom, and his daily calender she mark like cross(X)so we dont know what he is learning from the classroom and all day what he is doing in the school?? She is treating my son as a unwanted things where to go and I give a complaint about her.
Our first suggestion is to talk with the principal of your son’s school and to the director of special education for the school district.
The tips are very helpful!Thank you for sharing them.
Very good read for parents and teachers.

I gathered all my courage and went to first confession. I felt about as willing as a dog heading for a bath, but I fortified myself with the thought that in almost every Protestant to Catholic conversion story I had ever read, new converts testified to feeling a great sense of peace after confession.
A note to non-Catholic readers: we are given the opportunity, and even encouraged, to confess to a priest whom we don’t know so well, especially for first confession. I can’t express how relieved I was when I found this out.
Before we started, the priest who was going to be hear my confession tried to reassure me. He said that he had never taken part in the Sacrament of Confession, either as the one listening to confession or as the one confessing their sins, without having some sense that God was at work. This encouraged me a little, and I really hoped that he was right.
I went through my pathetic collection of sins, the ones committed long ago, which still bothered me, and the ones which are like persistent weeds in the garden, and keep coming back no matter how much you try to get rid of them. It isn’t easy to voice these things, and confession was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.
Before I went to confession, I worried that I would be set a time-consuming and difficult penance like visiting strangers in hospital or volunteering for a charity. However, I was simply given a prayer to say in the church afterwards. The priest pronounced absolution and that was it. I felt no relief or peace or sense of God’s presence. All I felt was an awful sense of my own sin and worry that I had made a total mess of confessing it.
Maybe this magic feeling of lightness and peace would only work after doing penance, and so I said my prayer, as fervently as I could, although I was burdened by a heavy sense of my own unworthiness and sinfulness. Afterwards I didn’t feel better. If anything, I felt worse.
I scuttled home feeling like a small, low creature which could do nothing good, and which should best stay out of everyone’s way. I am a mother, and so when I reached home, I just had to get on with what needed to be dealt with. However, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something had gone horribly wrong and that God was angry with me and wouldn’t forgive me.
When I got the chance, I thought back over what I had confessed and wondered if I had got it wrong. Maybe I should have tried to remember every single sin I had ever committed. However, that would have been impossible. Even if I had attempted it, the confession would have taken days. Father K had instructed me to pray for guidance, and to confess the things which bothered me, and that’s exactly what I had done.
I couldn’t understand why I felt so bad. The day before I made my first confession, I went to the church to pray. I was alone and yet not alone, as if there was an unseen presence which expected me there and welcomed me. I felt great peace. The next day, after making confession, I felt anything but peaceful. Something must have gone very badly wrong.
When I had time to indulge my feelings, I wept and read Psalm 51 in which David says, “For I know my transgressions and my sin is ever before me.” Sackcloth is hard to come by these days, but I did the next best thing and dressed in old clothes. I felt as if I was carrying an impossible burden, like dragging chains which were attached to great heavy lumps of stone so that I could hardly inch forward.
I was due to be received into the church in a few days time, but I decided I would probably have to cancel since I didn’t feel as if my sins were forgiven. However, I had already told lots of people, including my family who had taken the news better than I expected. I didn’t want to cancel, but I also didn’t want to commit a sacrilege by taking Communion unworthily. Maybe I could ask Father K about being received into the church without ever taking Communion. That seemed like a very good solution.
At this point the game was up. Attending church without ever taking Communion, where had I heard that before? I was behaving like the people in my Calvinist church and refusing to believe that God could forgive me. It took a lot of faith. If I believed Jesus’ teaching when he said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest,” then I had to believe in God’s mercy in spite of my feelings that God hadn’t forgiven me.
By faith, I tried to put the miserable feelings of sinfulness and unworthiness aside, and believe in God’s forgiveness. The priest had heard the worst I had ever done, but instead of shouting and telling me that I was an awful person, he had shown compassion. My image of God was worse than the example of the priest who represented him. Clearly I had to challenge my own warped image of God and believe that the true God could show compassion and forgiveness.
A week later, after I had been received into the church, I looked back on the confusing, painful experience of confession, and realised that it had been absolutely necessary, like painful but life-giving surgery. Without confession, I wouldn’t have realised that I still had deep-rooted unbelief in God’s love and forgiveness, and without a priest to listen to me, I wouldn’t have had an example of how God’s compassion works.
Any readers who’ve stuck with the last few posts will be pleased to know that that’s all I have to say on confession for the moment. Maybe I should have entitled this post, ‘A Calvinist goes to Confession and comes back a bit less of a Calvinist’. However, that would have been a bit long. Oh, and just for the record, I didn’t sue Father K.
I’ll make no bones about it. Confession was probably the Catholic teaching with which I struggled the most. Again and again, I came back to the question, why not just confess my sins to God?
The other is the passage in John 20:23 where Jesus breathes on his disciples and says, ‘“Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.” The Catholics belief that this passage describes Jesus establishing the Sacrament of Confession.
In my first post on confession, I described how some of the things I had done in the past came back to bother me as I investigated Catholicism. They bothered me so much that I couldn’t wait for some future date when I might or might not become Catholic, and so I confessed them to God. I felt a great sense of peace afterwards, which would suggest that I had never actually confessed them to God before.
Now I know that Protestant readers are going to say, ‘Stop right there’. You confessed them to God and that’s enough. However, these things had come back to bother me in the context of investigating Catholicism. When I confessed them to God, I told Him that I wasn’t trying to bypass Confession. Therefore I think that the peace I felt would have been falsely won if I had dodged out of Confession.
I mentioned in the last post, that I was brought up in a Calvinist church where many people didn’t take Communion, because they didn’t believe that they are worthy. These people struggled to believe that God has forgiven them.
In one of my conversations about Confession, I blurted out, ‘There’s nothing you can do about Protestant guilt.’ I had a good think about what I had said, and realised that the church in which I grew up, provided no clear path for those burdened by guilt, to talk over the things which were bothering them and receive assurance that God can forgive. This may have happened in informal conversations between individuals and their minister. However, many people were waiting for God would to give them assurance that they were saved. They faithfully attended church and lived exemplary Christian lives without ever receiving Communion.
Some people in my Protestant church did put themselves forward for church membership and Communion. Perhaps they were troubled by a less sensitive conscience. Leaving it up to something as subjective and dependent on the individual and their circumstances as a feeling of assurance, doesn’t work. Some people will come to the conclusion that God has forgiven them and others will always doubt that they are forgiven.
Father K told me that a priest could absolve almost any sin, including murder. However, he mentioned that one sin required permission from Rome, and I immediately started worrying that I had committed the one and only sin which parish priests weren’t allowed to absolve. This sin was so rare that Father K no longer had it on the tip of his tongue. He did some research and told me that a sin leading to ex-communication from the Catholic church was the only one parish priests couldn’t deal with. Obviously that didn’t apply to me, but I was still very nervous as I got ready to go to Confession. I’ll write one more post about Confession and I promise that that will be the last you’ll hear about it for a while.
It’s time to tackle the ‘C’ word, and no, I’m not talking about Crispies or Cornflakes. I want to write about Confession. It’s a hard one to talk about. I’ve hung around Catholics for most of my adult life, and in all that time only one person has ever even mentioned confession.
When I started thinking about becoming Catholic, I saw confession as some sort of antiquated tradition, which most people ignored in practice, although kids were still required to confess the sweeties they stole before taking first communion.
As a Protestant, I thought that confession was one of these things which probably should have been turfed out at the Reformation, but which the Catholic church had stubbornly held onto. My problem was that if I wanted to become Catholic, I wasn’t allowed to take any special short cuts. Even though I was an adult, I would have to become like a little kiddie and go through this thing called confession. If I saw saints as an box ticking exercise, then I saw confession as a bit like seeing a doctor for an unpleasant and intrusive check-up, even though you feel perfectly well.
There were so many other things I liked about Catholicism, that I decided I was just going to have to grit my teeth and go through with it, and so I made an effort to try and find out more about confession. The first surprising fact which came up was that Martin Luther himself had recommended the practice of confession in the new church he was founding. The great Christian apologist and Anglican C. S. Lewis also practised confession regularly.
It was all very well for them to like confession, but why did I have to go? Couldn’t I just confess my sins to God? Father K’s answer was that most of us tend not to confess our sins to God. When I stopped and thought about it, he was right. I had often begged God to help me out of a difficult situation, but how often had I actually said I was sorry for the sin which had led to the mess?
Two strange things happened as I investigated Catholicism. Firstly, I began to be bothered by things which had happened years ago, and which I’d put behind me as ‘unwise choices’ or ‘mistakes’. At the time, I’d been aware that I was at best bending and sometimes breaking the rules, but, preoccupied with my own hurt, I hadn’t thought about how my actions had affected other people. I began to care about the hurt I had caused to others while only thinking about my own needs.
Secondly an accident occurred for which I was partly responsible. Someone suffered a painful and inconvenient injury, which fortunately was not serious. For quite a while, my apology was not accepted by one of the people involved. Around the same time, I became aware that a different person hadn’t forgiven me for something I had done many years before. These two situations weighed very heavily on me, and I began to feel that it would be a great relief to go to confession and hear someone pronouncing absolution. When one of these situations was resolved, the relief of being forgiven was absolutely incredible.
By the time I was preparing to make first confession, I had come to see it as something strange and frightening, but absolutely necessary. When I’m brave enough, I’ll write another post about how it went for me, but first of all I think I need to write about Calvinism.

Every relationship runs it’s natural course of highs and lows. However for many couples the monotony of routine in a relationship may result in boredom. The initial spark you once had with your partner may disappear! So here are a few pointers on how boredom can be eliminated in relationships.
After identifying the issue, resolve it by discussing and reaching practical solution. In order to break the monotony of the relationship, getting together to find a solution may lead to more effective communication. Planning a trip get away from it all may bring back the much needed spark in your relationship.
Identifying the factor or element that makes you feel bored id important so that you can tackle it. It may be weekend shopping or any other activity you routinely practice with your partner.
Communicate the issue to your partner. Communication in a non offensive way by staying calm and peaceful. Sort out the issue through compromise on behalf of both partners. Any issue faced in your relationship should be made known to your partner through communication. Effective communication, transparency and trust are important elements necessary for a successful relationship.
If the ability to communication with each other fails, one should seek the help of an unbiased third person. Professional counselling could be the very thing your relationship requires. It is far better to reach out for help than to destroy your peace of mind because of the inability to communicate with your partner.
Finding common ground and similarities with your partner can make life more interesting. Try to stay focussed on all the positive aspects of your partner and the good things about the relationship. Spending sometime alone with your partner, preparing his/ her favourite food, going out on dates can boost your relationship quotient and eliminate the element of boredom from the relationship.

You’d be more diligent, if the environment conditions of yours would support better true diligence, where one doesn’t need energy into solving straining problems of other humans, but one could gain in all peace to focus into own work accomplishments in a good spirit. You are very great from your proportions, when you should do matters much better than how the situation is today.

The Mbox 2 Mini offers a simplified feature set in order to maximize portability.
With stereo I/O that includes a single XLR mic input, it's safe to say that Digidesign created the Mbox 2 Mini ($329) with singer-songwriters in mind. The USB 1.1 bus-powered Mbox 2 Mini (M2M) is less than half the width of the Mbox 2 Pro, and a third as heavy. And because Pro Tools interfaces act as a dongle — you cannot use the program without one — the M2M's small form factor makes it useful for the traveling Pro Tools user who might not have the space for a larger Mbox but needs only basic I/O for listening and editing.
To reduce the interface to this size, Digidesign includes a minimum of analog I/O, completely eliminating MIDI and S/PDIF ports. The rear panel holds a single XLR mic input, a pair of unbalanced ¼-inch line/DI inputs, a pair of unbalanced ¼-inch line outputs, a USB port, and four buttons — a pad switch for each channel, a 48V phantom power switch, and a Mic/DI switch for channel 1. This last button lets you select between the XLR and ¼-inch input, so you can keep cables plugged into both jacks.
The front panel has a ¼-inch headphone jack and level control, a mute switch for the monitor outputs (which doesn't affect the headphone output), an input level control for each channel, and a control that mixes between the direct input signal, for latency-free monitoring, and the playback signal coming from the computer. A green LED indicates when the M2M is receiving power from your computer. The package also includes the Pro Tools Method One instructional DVD for new Pro Tools users.
The interface's housing feels solid but is reminiscent of a metal project box. Four rubber nubs on the bottom of the case keep it from sliding around the desktop.
The M2M's specs are similar to those of the Mbox 2 Pro. The main differences are less than 50 dB of gain, as well as unbalanced line-level jacks and a few decibels less dynamic range on the M2M's I/O. However, the two interfaces sounded nearly identical to me in daily use with my 1.33 GHz Mac G4 laptop running Mac OS X 10.4.8. When I wanted to edit my Pro Tools sessions while touring, the M2M was the winner hands down, not only because of its size but also because it doesn't require external power. If I had a wish list, it would be to have balanced I/O and the buttons relocated to the front panel.
The Mbox 2 Mini is great for Pro Tools LE users who don't need more than one mic at a time. It's also a boon for those of us who like to get some work done while in planes, trains, and automobiles.

Motivation is to extend functionality of the SVG Composer and make it possible to introduce custom SVG Snippets to the SVG Composer.
This functionality should allow user to plug in custom SVG Rich Components Snippets to the SVG Composer. Only one type of snippets should be available in SVG Composer. All snippets should be registered using SVG Core API. Switching between snippets should be achieved through Netbeans Preference panel in "SVG" tab.
* Name of SVG Snippet provider, has to be unique. NOI18N!
* Display name of SVG Snippet.
Also it is MANDATORY to store all snippets in the same package with implementation of SVGSnippetsProvider. Example of custom snippets can be found in Netbeans sources in vmd.svgcore, package org.netbeans.modules.mobility.svgcore.snippets.gradientlook.

ATMORE, Alabama -– (PRESS RELEASE) -- Poarch Creek Indian Reservation -- In a recent press release referencing a letter to the Department of Interior, the Alabama Attorney General, on behalf of his office and the office of the Governor, has asked the U.S. Department of the Interior to deny the request of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians (Tribe) to "expand gaming within the borders of this state," according to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians. In taking such a political stand, the Attorney General is turning a blind eye to other gaming within this State and denying the Tribe a level playing field.
"No matter what your stand on gaming, it is clear there is an absolute lack of logic and fair play in the state's action," Tribal Chairman Buford L. Rolin noted. "The Attorney General's position protects unregulated non-Indian gaming while denying our right under federal law to operate a highly regulated gaming enterprise that could significantly benefit the State. Not only is this bad business -- it is bad public policy that does nothing to control the expansion of gaming in Alabama."
The Tribe's gaming operations are regulated by federal law, particularly the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA). Under the IGRA, the Tribe can play "Class III" games in only one of two situations: 1) where a state enters into a compact with a Tribe for the types of Class III games permitted within the state, or 2) if the state refuses to negotiate, the Tribe may petition the Secretary of Interior for procedures that allow the Tribe to play the types of Class III games permitted within the state.
"It appears Attorney General Troy King does not understand the Tribe's request to the United States Department of the Interior," says PCI Tribal Attorney Venus McGhee Prince. "Secretarial Procedures are not intended to expand gaming within a state, but to ensure fair treatment of all parties -- the Tribe and the State. They are an option reserved for those rare situations, like ours, where a state's governor refuses to negotiate in good faith with an Indian tribe. Alabama is one of only two states that has categorically refused to negotiate with its federally recognized Indian tribes. The State's refusal to communicate has left the Tribe with no other choice but to appeal to its only option for achieving equality -- the Secretary of the Interior."
The Tribe has attempted to work with the State of Alabama for more than fifteen years to negotiate a scope of gaming that makes sense for Alabama. Although refusing to negotiate a compact with the Tribe, every governor of Alabama since Jim Folsom, Jr. has told the Tribe that the State would agree to allow the Tribe to play any game it allowed the dog tracks to play. Yet pari- mutuel betting, sweepstakes, poker tournaments and one-touch bingo are currently being played at dog tracks and other venues in Alabama. These games, which fall within the IGRA's definition of "Class III" games, are prominently advertised on billboards, newspapers, radio and television throughout Alabama.
According to the Tribe, the State's decision to dismiss the Tribe while ignoring other non-Indian gaming has resulted in more than an explosion of gaming in Alabama. The State has lost millions of dollars in economic benefits -- dollars that could have been put toward education, health care and other needs of Alabama's citizens.
There is clear evidence that Poarch Creek Indian Gaming is good for the economy of Alabama. In 2004, the Tribe's gaming enterprise created more than 900 jobs in Alabama, with over 90% held by non-Indians. Tribal operations buy locally, and generate federal, payroll, sales and excise taxes, and state government revenue. Federal law mandates that the Tribe use its gaming revenues much like any other government uses tax revenue: to support programs like education, healthcare, social and community services. In addition to using gaming revenues to support a Tribal community and business development in rural Alabama, the Tribe is a good neighbor in the state, volunteering manpower and financial resources in times of need.
"None of us could imagine the State denying any other kind of business -- a construction company or a manufacturer or a retailer -- the right to grow while looking the other way as their competition does so. But that is exactly what is happening to the Tribe," said Arthur Mothershed, Tribal Council Treasurer. "Governor Riley refuses to comply with federal law and meet with the Tribe to discuss a scope of gaming that is equitable for the Tribe and the citizens of Alabama," he added.
The Tribe remains willing to discuss these issues with the Attorney General and the Governor. All the Tribe needs is for the Attorney General and Governor to listen.

Louise Arbour had made it to the pinnacle of any lawyer's dream career: she had a seat on the Su preme Court of Canada. Less than five years into her tenure serving as one of the highest-ranking justices in the country, Arbour stepped down. Instead, she became the fourth person named to the position of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. It was not the first time that Arbour stood in the international spotlight. In 1996, she was chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal, responsible for bringing to justice major players in the human rights tragedies of both Rwanda and Kosovo. A distinguished career as a lawyer and professor combined with her renowned tenacity and charm have garnered her a reputation as someone who can get the job done while also maintaining civil relationships with her opponents.
Arbour was born on February 10, 1947, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Her parents divorced when she was young and her mother, Ruth Laberge, raised Arbour and her brother, Patrick, on her own. While Arbour attended College Regina Assumpta, a strict all-girls Roman Catholic school, her mother ran a store in downtown Montreal. Arbour explained to Allan Thompson of the Toronto Star the impact that the school had on her development, "In a sense I was probably manipulated to achieve exactly what it is designed to achieve, which is to get you to be a rebel to a point." She attended the school for ten years and received her bachelor's degree from there in 1967.
After graduation she went directly to the University of Montreal where she studied law at the Faculty of Law. She earned her degree, an LL.L, in 1970. During that same year, she later recounted, occurred one of the most influential events in her life and one which directed her in her future career. That year, the Canadian government passed the War Measures Act, which immediately suspended many civil liberties guaranteed by the state in response to kidnappings carried out by French separatists. She told the Toronto Star 's Thompson, "In many, many respects this had a very dramatic influence on my outlook on public issues, on the issue of power, abuse of power, the need for information and an element of skepticism towards authority."
After graduating from law school, Arbour held a few minor legal positions before taking a position as a lecturer on criminal procedure for the Osgoode Hall Law School at York University. She had passed the Quebec Bar in 1971 and in 1974 began her long and distinguished career with York University. In 1977, she passed the Ontario Bar. She quickly moved to the position of Assistant Professor, then Associate Professor. In 1987, she was named Associate Dean but only held the position for six months.
In December of 1987, Arbour was appointed as a High Court Justice for the Supreme Court of Ontario. Three years later she was appointed to the Ontario Court of Appeal. In 1995, while still serving on the Court of Appeal, Arbour was named as the sole commissioner to make inquiries into the allegations of abuse at the Prison for Women in Kingston. Her reports, which found institutionalized abuse rampant in the prison, served to help the Canadian government make significant changes in their correctional system, particularly with regard to female inmates.
Perhaps as a result of her effective investigations into prison abuse in Canada, she was asked to join the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. The appointment, which she accepted, was made by a resolution of the Security Council of the United Nations. Arbour was named to the four-year position of chief prosecutor for what would become known as the War Crimes Tribunal. Her tireless work brought about indictments against former Yugoslavian dictator Slobodan Milosevic and others as well as convictions against 60 people charged with participating in the 1994 massacre in Rwanda.
Unfortunately for the tribunal, Arbour left before her four-year term was finished. In 1999, citing exhaustion, a desire to return to Canada, as well as a desire to accept an appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada, Arbour left the position of chief prosecutor. James Stewart, who worked with Arbour in The Hague described her energy to the Toronto Star 's Thompson, "It is as if there is a kind of dynamo there, firing off energy. She wasn't going to take anything from anybody. And yet she was not in any way abrasive. She could disarm through charm."
On September 15, 1999, Arbour took her seat on the highest court in Canada. She served the court for five years, and was part of the deciding vote, which reestablished the right of federal prisoners to vote. Eventually, she was offered another appointment that she found she could not refuse. In 2002, she had been offered the position of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. She turned the job down. The position was eventually filled by Sergio Vieira de Mello, who was subsequently killed in a 2003 bombing while on a mission in Baghdad, Iraq. Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, approached Arbour again with the appointment. This time she did not refuse.
For any lawyer, having a seat on the Supreme Court would mark the highest point of one's career. Arbour was not so satisfied and found the possibility of becoming the world's representative for the protection of human rights irresistible. With years of experience working to bring to justice those who would transgress basic human rights, Arbour stepped into this new position boldly on July 1, 2004. She was the fourth person to hold the position, which was established in 1993.
Throughout her career, Arbour has distinguished herself as hardworking. She holds more than 25 honorary degrees from universities around the world. She is fluent in both English and French. Besides court appointments she also wrote extensively on subjects such as criminal procedure, human rights, civil liberties, and gender issues. She was editor for Criminal Reports, Canadian Human Rights Reporter, and Osgoode Hall Law Journal. Until her first appointment in 1987, she had served as the vice-president of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. Arbour has three children with Larry Taman, her partner of 27 years.

The Message Archiver and Compliance Reviewer has dynamic search and recovery tools that enable messages to be located based on virtually any contents of the body, header and attachments.
Standard Search focuses on the Sender, Recipient, Subject, Date or contents of a message and can be performed by Standard User's with any level of experience. Basic Search is typically all a User needs when searching for their own messages in the archive.
Advanced Search supports Boolean logic, Wildcards, proximity searches and requires knowledge of these sophisticated search techniques. These powerful and versatile search techniques can locate specific messages based on subtle combinations of search criteria and are typically required when performing Audits and eDiscovery.
Standard Search involves searching for a word, a string of words, a phrase or a combination. Users can select the Date Range(s), and all message types (i.e. Email, Blackberry, Bloomberg, Reuters, Instant Messages) that they would like to search. Global Mail users must select both Email and Sent Items to search all of their email messages.
Start Date/End Date: Start Date and End Date narrows the search results to the days selected. Search results will include only messages sent on or between the date range selected. The default date range is the last seven (7) days.
Start Time/End Time: Within Start Date/End Date there is an option to include a Start Time and End Time. If no Start or End Time is defined by the User, the default is "all day", meaning any message sent between midnight to midnight on the selected day. If a Start and End time are defined, the search results will include only messages sent on or between the hours/minutes selected.
Folder: Select the all applicable message types which are to be searched. If your company only archives one message type, this will be the default.
From (User)**: Searches for messages sent by an individual. Users may search on the complete first name, last name, email address, or domain name. A sub-string search is not automatically applied to words in a search, so Wildcard values need to be used when searching on only part of a sender's name or domain (see Advanced Search Techniques below). The more specific the search criteria entered, the more specific the results will be.
"Williamb"; "William?"; "William*"; "Will*" or "domain.com"
"wbaker"; "wbak*" "domain.com" or "uk.domain.com"
To/Cc/Bcc (Users)**: Searches for messages received by an individual, in either the To, Cc, or Bcc fields. Users may search on the first name, last name, email address, or domain name of the recipient. Users may also search on partial data. The more specific the search criteria entered, the more specific the search results.
To/Cc/Bcc (Groups): Includes all messages received by members in the specified Group in the To/Cc/Bcc search (i.e. if there are 10 employees in a Group labeled "Sales" then all messages sent to these employees will be included in the search results.
Addresses as phrases: The Message Archiver indexes message addresses as individual words (it does not recognize the period (.) between words in a message address (e.g. bob.smith@domain.com)). Because of this, the address of a sender or receiver is seen as a phrase of words. To find an exact sender or recipient, put the complete address "in quotation marks".
perform a Boolean search to find the multiple users with a single search (see Boolean Searches in the Advanced Search Techniques below for details).
Include All Data Types: Be aware of all possible email addresses for each User, including Bloomberg names or Instant Message User names, as you will need your search to cover all user addresses.
Searching on partial terms: a Wildcard substring search is not automatically executed for the From/To/Cc/Bcc (User) and must be explicitly specified by Users. In the Message Archiver v.5.x, entering a value such as "test" into the FROM field in the search page resulted in a sub-string search being automatically performed, so that any email address or username beginning with the word "test" was returned. In the Message Archiver 6.x, Users must explicitly enter "test*" to search for all email addresses or names that begin with the letters "test" in the FROM field in the search page.
Subject**: The Subject of a message varies depending on the message type. For email, the Subject is the Subject Line of the email, and a search against Subject will return email that has the search criteria in their Subject Line. For Chat, the Subject will return conversations from chat rooms containing the search criteria in the chat room name. The Subject line is not recommended for use with IM.
Attachments**: Filters a search by the type of attachment. Only messages with the specific attachment type will be found. Common file types are listed in the pull-down menu. If the file extension is not listed, select "Other..." and enter the extension name in the field provided. Messages with one or more attachment types can be returned by a single search by using a Boolean expression (e.g. "pdf AND gif"). Users can also search for a specific attachment name by selecting "Other..." and entering the attachment name and type (e.g. "document.txt").
Optical Character Recognition: The Message Archiver does not perform OCR on flat files (images such as PDF, GIF, TIFF, JPG) when they are imported into the archive. Because these images are not converted to characters, it is not possible to search on the words contained in an image. Only the image metadata can be indexed and used in a search. This metadata includes the name of the image, type of image, date created and last modified date.
Encrypted Attachments: The contents of an encrypted and/or password protected attachment cannot be indexed because the Message Archiver cannot bypass these security features. Only the attachment metadata can be indexed and used in a search. This metadata includes the name of the image, type of image, date created and last modified date.
Keywords**: The Keyword field allows the User to search for specific words or phrases in a message body (including attachment body). To look for a specific phrase, place the phrase in quotations, i.e. "confidentiality agreement". This will return messages with that exact phrase. Up to 1000 characters can be used to define the keywords in a search.
Phrase Search: To search for a phrase, put the phrase to be searched in quotations (e.g. "this investment can't fail"). This ensures that the words in the phrase will be used in a search in the same order they appear in the phrase. If the phrase is not put in quotations then the resulting search will return the words in any order (e.g. a search for This is funny will return funny this is or This is not funny.
Encrypted Messages: The contents of an encrypted and/or password protected message cannot be indexed because the Message Archiver cannot bypass these security features. Only the message metadata can be indexed and used in a search. This metadata includes the sender, recipient, date sent and other metadata contained in the Header.
Priority: The Priority field enables Users to search on the current status of any message. The Priority filter can be used along with a Flag option to narrow a search.
Bloomberg: Bloomberg customers can filter a search against Bloomberg to return Bloomberg IB, Bloomberg Mail or both. This option requires the Bloomberg Folder to be selected.
Reuters: The Reuters filed allows Reuters Customers to search for conversation messages that contain one of the Reuters Messaging premium features: RM Chat, File Transfer, Forms and Screenshots.
Serial#: This field enables Users to search based on the unique sequentially serialized identifier assigned to every message conversation. Messages can be searched based on a single Serial #, entering multiple Serial #'s, each separated by a comma, or a message range by entering a serial number in the "from" Range field and entering a larger serial number in the "to" Range field.
Advanced Search provides powerful and versatile search techniques that can locate specific messages based on subtle combinations of search criteria and are typically required when performing Audits and eDiscovery.
Header: Users to search for metadata contained within the message X-header that cannot be otherwise leveraged for a search by another field in the Message Archiver and Compliance Reviewer interface. In the left hand field, enter the name of the Header Tag to be searched and in the right hand field enter the Header Value for which the User is searching.
In this version of the Message Archiver, the Header is indexed as a single block of text. Consequently, a search against the Header Tag searches all fields in the Header, including Header Tags that are otherwise exposed in the Message Archiver and Compliance Reviewer interface (such as Subject, From, To/Bcc/Cc, etc.).
Sub-string Search: When performing a search on a value in the Header Tag, it is not necessary to enter the name of the full header tag. Entering a partial header tag is sufficient (e.g. it is sufficient to enter "acceptlanguage" in place of "X-GR-MA-acceptlanguage").
Wildcard Search: Wildcard * and ? are not supported in Header Tag search. So the following searches are not supported: Message* Exchang?
Flag: The Flag field enables Users to search on the current Flag status of any message. The Flag filter can be used along with a Priority Flag option to narrow down a search.
Label: Labels are created by Reviewers and Super Reviewers to assist with organizing and categorizing messages. Use the Label drop down to select a Label and search for messages to which this Label has been applied.
Event: Events are used to search the Audit Trail associated with each message. Use the Event drop down to select an Event and search for messages to which this Event has occurred. Optionally, a user name can be added to the field below to restrict the Event search to this specific individual (i.e. all messages "Viewed" by "Bob Brown").
Wildcards in a search are characters that will match any character. They are useful in searches when only part of the search criteria is known (i.e. if searching for someone with the first name of Jacobs or Jacobson the Wildcard search would be "Jacob*"). Using a Wildcard as the first character in a search (e.g. *stone) is not supported.
The Message Archiver supports single and multiple character Wildcard searches within a single term, but not within a phrase.
Multiple Character Wildcard: Multiple character Wildcard search looks for 0 or more characters. To perform a multiple character Wildcard search, use the "*" symbol. For example, to search for test, tests or tester, use the search: test*. The multiple character Wildcard search can also be used in the middle of a term (e.g. te*t).
Wildcard characters * and ? cannot be uses as the first character of a search.
A filename and extension separated with a period (.) are considered two words for a Wildcard search (e.g. "Testfile.txt" is considered to be two words and a search for "Testfile*txt" will not be "Testfile.txt").
Wildcard characters will not work within a phrase (e.g. "This is a test*" will drop the * in the search).
Searches that include a Wildcard character after a period in a message address will fail when applied to FROM field searches.
"test" was returned. In the Message Archiver 6.x, Users must explicitly enter "test*" to search for all email addresses or names that begin with the letters "test" in the FROM field in the search page.
The Message Archiver supports finding words are a within a specific number of words of each other. This supports searching for keywords that have a relationship to each other but which may not always be entered in exactly the same way each time. For example, the phrase "this investment can't fail" might also be in a message as "this investment in the swamplands can't possibly fail", in which case searching for the exact phrase would not find both. Proximity searching makes it possible to find both phrases by searching for occurrences of the keywords "investment" and "fail" within a defined number of words of each other.
To do proximity search use the tilde "~", symbol at the end of a phrase. For example, to search for "investment" and "fail" within 10 words of each other in a document use the search: "investment fail"~10.
Boolean searches allow you to combine words and phrases using the words AND, OR, and NOT to limit, widen, or define your search.
TermA AND TermB matches documents where both terms appear anywhere in the single document. The terms can be single words or phrases. The symbol "&&" or plus "+" can be used in place of the word AND. The word AND must be capitalized.
"Investment Banker" and "Money back guarantee" "Investment Banker" && "Money back guarantee"
TermA OR TermB match documents where either term appear anywhere in the single document. The terms can be single words or phrases. The double-pipe symbol "||" can be used in place of the word OR. The word OR must be capitalized.
TermA NOT TermB match documents which only the first term appears anywhere in the single document and the second term does not appear anywhere in the same document. The exclamation point "!" or minus "-" can be used in place of the word NOT. The word NOT must be capitalized.
"Personal Guarantee" NOT "Guarantee Success" "Personal Guarantee" ! "Guarantee Success"
The NOT operator cannot be used with just one term. For example, the following search will return no results: NOT "Guarantee Success".
You can control the precedence of the Boolean operators using brackets. In the query one OR two AND three the AND takes precedence, so this is the same as one OR (two AND three). You can override the precedence using (one OR two) AND three.
Searching with the Message Archiver is not case specific other than when using the Boolean operators AND, OR and NOT. These must be capitalized.

The size 9 D leather and snakeskin boots with rhinestone studding were custom made for use in the production and are in excellent condition with some minor loss of studding on the heels from wear. Mr. Redford wears the boots notably in the opening of the film and in several other scenes when the Sonny character appears at promotional events. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the costume house.

A reader laments: Many days I am in control for most of the morning and part of the afternoon, but then all of the sudden, like a train derailment, everything seems scattered and out of control.
I suggest that you take mental pauses throughout the day, particularly as new developments occur. The best laid plans often go astray and those people who are able to maintain control know when to let go of one activity and redirect their focus towards another.
Remember as well that being in control is more related to how you feel about the situation than the presence of evidence. Keep reminding yourself that you are, in fact, in control. Ten minutes before the end of the day if your boss springs a one-hour assignment on you that must be done immediately, you can regard this as a major intrusion in your day or you can see it as a professional challenge or an opportunity to demonstrate your overall value to your company. Make a note of the times you have taken on such challenges and bring them up particularly at raise times.
Before, during, and after handling the late assignment thrown on your lap, keep considering the many benefits of completing it. These include learning something new, practicing maintaining grace under fire, and serving as a reminder for you to discuss this type of situation with your boss so that it doesn't happen too frequently.

8 of us had a fantastic holiday, our villa was superb on all levels. The pictures do not do it justice as it has been redecorated since they were taken. Plenty of room for 8 of us. clean and private. Fabulous!
We do try and keep all the properties that we offer to a high standard. Thank you for the great feedback.
We had a great 10 day stay in this villa which was excllent. The style is very moderns and contemporary. This property is maintained to a high standard with all mod cons you would expect in a luxury villa. A car rental is necessary as the best beaches in the area are on the Mar Menor about 10 minutes drive from the La Manga Resort. This is the La Manga Strip area and the beaches on the mar menor side are a must if you have young children or enjoy sandy beaches. We had a great meal at the La Cala beach restaurant on La Manga Club.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at La Manga Club, La Cala is one of the best beaches especially when the weather is great. We hope to see you return soon.
Las Higueras was fantastic as usual!
As veterans of La Manga club we have over the past 21 years stayed in most of the Las Hgueras villas that are available. The villa was of the usual high standard and in many ways surpassed most of the others. We always thoroughly enjoy La Manga - everwhere is so clean and well kept and the services and people are exceptional - we try to visit every June and fully intend to return next year - circumstances willing. The only negative point was the car rental - it was Centauro and we will never use this company again - we fully accept that it was not your fault, but Centauro provided us with a car that was not road worthy and would only exchange this under pressure and if we returned it to the airport [using fuel that we had paid way over th odds for and this was not mentioned on booking. That aside we had as usual a wonderful holiday.
Thank you for taking time to share your comments with us, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Las Higueras and look forward to arranging your next holiday at La Manga Club. We will take up your comments with Centauro Car Rentals as they do have an office at La Manga Club and am not sure why they would not exchange the vehicle for you on the Club itself, rather that asking you to return it to the airport, especially if it was not road worthy.
Thank you for the feedback, we hope to see you at La Manga Club again soon.
Fantastic villa which is far larger when you are in the villa than the photographs show. Really quiet location with some far reaching views which can be enjoyed from the upstairs terrace. The villa was very clan and is extremely well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked and includes everything you would need for self-catering holiday. It was nice to have some basic essentials such as coffee, tea, milk, bread and jams for our arrival. We have been to the club a few times before and would say that the Las Higueras villa is the nicest we have stayed in and would recommend the villa to other renters. The management company was very helpful and everything was well organised. We picked up a car hire from Murcia airport which is by far the best way to get around and visit the local town of Los Belones, which has some really nice restaurants. We took our grandchildren with is on this holiday who are 8 and 10 years old and we all had a very enjoyable holiday.
La Manga Club is the perfect place for children, there are so many activities for them to take part in as well as making friends around the communal pool areas. We hope to see you again in the future.
We do try and upgrade clients whenever we can, however this is not always possible. If you are interested in going again please contact us.

We are all busy. We all seem to have several directions in which we are pulled. Today was one of those classic several-things-to-do and not-a-lot-of-time to do them in days.
It started last week. After driving the MomMobile somewhere, I noticed a stinky burning plastic-like smell coming from under the car. I tried to ignore it. Then it happened again on Friday and Saturday. So on Saturday afternoon, I pointed it out to The Husband, who basically shrugged his shoulders and blew it off. Then on Saturday evening we went to dinner, upon returning home, I pointed out the smell again. This time The Husband acknowledged that it smelled a bit funky.
Then on Sunday we went to the Padres games. We had tickets to hang out with The Boo Hoo Crew, a kids rock band that the girls love! Once we arrived at Petco Park, The Husband and girls all noticed the stinky smell. We popped the hood on the MomMobile but couldn’t see anything obvious – there was no smoke, no fires, nothing that looked like it was melting. So we closed the hood, went the game and that was that.
When we got home from the game, the smell had gotten worse. So The Husband says that I should really take it in to get it checked out. Monday is my day off, so it’s the “easiest” to be without a vehicle. Just to be safe, we asked my dad if we could borrow his truck. The Husband would take the truck to work and I would take the MomMobile in for service and could drive The Husband’s car to get the girls to gymnastics after school if need be.
So I called at 7 a.m. to make an appointment. The earliest I could bring the MomMobile in was noon. After reiterating that my car smelled like burning plastic to the service person, I made the appointment. I am fairly certain the gal I made the appointment with thought I was a little crazy. So noon, rolls around and I approach the service entrance. The greeter guy welcomes me and asks what the problem is. I explained to him that my car smelled funny – like burning plastic. He literally laughed at me and said, “Lady there is a joke there, but I’m not going to say it.” I laughed and agreed, it sounded odd to say my car had a funk, but I wanted it checked out.
So one of the service managers came out. She walked in front of my car to get to the driver’s side. As she walked by my car, she made a funny face. Then said to me, “your car stinks.” I was grateful for the acknowledgement that I was not insane. The MomMobile did in fact stink. So she did a quick check to see if the plastic fender liner things were rubbing on the tires (a common occurrence apparently in lowered vehicle –of which the MomMobile is NOT!). I jokingly said, it’s probably just a plastic bag stuck somewhere. She smiled and said maybe, but she couldn’t see anything on quick glance.
So they would charge me $55 for the diagnosis and then deduct that from any necessary repairs. I waited for the shuttle to take me back home and left the MomMobile. Got the shuttle home, ate some lunch. My fabulous niece delivered my Scentsy order to me (YAY! https://rjones.scentsy.us/ – if you need some yummy smelling stuff). The day was going pretty well.
I picked up the girls from school. We worked on a little homework and since the dealership had not called about the MomMobile, we took The Husband’s car to gymnastics. While at gymnastics, the dealership called and left a message saying the problem had been discovered, taken care of and the MomMobile was ready for pick up.
Now at gymnastics, the Big One took a pretty good fall off of a bar, landing square on her face. So when she began complaining on the way home of a headache, I was not surprised. My head would hurt too if I had taken the fall she did. Since I forgot to grab my Bluetooth out of the MomMobile and I am not smart enough to synch my phone to The Husband’s car. I gave the Big One my phone and asked her to call grandpa to see if he could meet us at home and shuttle us to the dealership to pick-up the MomMobile. We would just have enough time to get my car, run through a drive thru for dinner and get to a 6 p.m. training for Girl Scout nut sales. It would be close, but I figured we could do it – despite the Big One’s headache!
So we got home, grandpa enroute to our house and the Big One says, “My tummy hurts.” The Little One grabbed a bucket and the Big One sat on the couch. Trying not to freak out at a faceplant, followed by nausea, I offered for the girls to stay home alone while I picked up my car. The dealership is about a mile from home, so it’s a quick trip. The Big One really didn’t want to stay home. So we gathered their booster seats and a bucket and piled into grandma’s Jeep. We were not three blocks from home when the Big One started puking.
Now just an aside, grandpa is a retired medical examiner investigator. The man dealt with all forms of dead bodies over a 20+ career, but he does not do puke. As the Big One is puking, I am trying to calmly reassure here that all is good. Meanwhile the Little One is excitedly providing a play-by-play. “MOM! Allison is puking! EWWWWWWW! It’s bright red! UGGGGHHHH! I think it’s strawberries.” My poor dad is driving and beginning to look a little urpy. I unrolled the window and calmly asked the Little One to just be quiet. I figure if we just get the dealership, we will all survive.
Of course there was nowhere to park in the service area. So I told my dad to drop me off and then circle back around to where we had seen the MomMobile parked. I walked in and Kristen, the service manager, just had this look on her face. Before she said anything, I asked, “It was a freaking plastic bag wasn’t it?” She just started laughing and apologizing. All I could do was laugh. I certainly didn’t want to cry. I was close, but managed to laugh and told her about the kid puke in the car, etc. Turns out she was having a similar day. So we laughed and decided we’d each have a drink for the other tonight!
So that there is $55 Vons bag. I am trying to keep things in perspective. A $55 bag is way better than a huge repair for something really broken. And since I am not at my nut training now there isn’t much to do other than open a Smirnoff Peach Bellini. Cheers!

While I agree that Whyte's best performance to date was in his loss to AJ, he's still shown, and delivered, far more than Allen has ever suggested. Allen could be 50/1 to win this fight and I still wouldn't stick a pound on him. I can't see past a Whyte (T)KO between rounds 4-6.
whats the odds for that treble?
Just stuck a few quid on, can't see that going wrong.
Tempted to put Campbell points in aswell for 50/1.
Mendez may very well win over Campbell.
Mendez is world class a great counterpuncher and just 30, who has Campbell fought?
