Caravan Tours began selling fully escorted tours in 1952. We have been under the same management and ownership ever since. In 1965, Roger Mudd hosted a two hour CBS TV special on Caravan Tours. This TV production took about one month to make and was so successful it inspired the 1968 romantic comedy movie "If it's Tuesday this must be Belgium." In the early 50's the Mayor of Dublin presented Caravan with the Key to Dublin for bringing the first American tour to the city after WWII. Since then Caravan has been recognized as a pioneer in travel.
Caravan's strong buying power gives you great vacations at prices much lower than you can find anywhere. Last year many of our tours sold out quickly. Book early for the date you prefer and the best air fare.
Caravan Tours is a member of ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents), NTA (National Tour Association), CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association), and an allied member of ACTA (Alliance of Canadian Travel Agencies).
Caravan delivers volume to our suppliers, who in turn reward us with their very best prices, we in turn pass these savings on to you, and you reward us by buying our tours. As volume continues to rise, we then receive even better prices from our suppliers, and we pass even greater savings on to you. This year our tours are better than ever.
The short answer is "very." Our surveys are uniformly very positive. However we continually strive to improve our tours, (they are often updated several times in the course of one year), we study all client surveys and suggestions for improvement very carefully.
Caravan includes all activities listed in the tour itinerary page. Caravan does not sell any optional activities which can add hundreds of dollars to your tour price. Your free time is scheduled in great settings where there is no need to buy additional expensive activities.

Many people are surprised to learn that lung, not breast cancer, is the number one cancer killer of women in the United States.
Although smoking contributes to the majority of lung cancer cases, development in never-smokers is now considered the sixth most common cause of cancer death in the United States, and is more prevalent in women than men.
To unravel this mystery, scientists are actively studying why women who never smoke are more susceptible to lung cancer. It may be that women are more predisposed to second hand smoke, scientists theorize, while radiation exposure from certain heart procedures may also lead to an increased risk as well. Current research is focusing on gender differences in the detoxification of nicotine, cell metabolism and cancer growth, as well as the role of hormones in tumor growth and resistance to treatment.
Women have also been shown to develop a type of lung cancer called adenocarcinoma, and experience genetic mutation in their tumors called EGFR. By identifying a particular mutation early, doctors are able to use oral drug treatments that are more effective and better tolerated than chemotherapy.
The good news is that early diagnosed lung cancer increases the chances of survival for both men and women alike. Regular screenings with low-dose CT scans can detect lung cancer in its earliest stages, when treatment is most likely to be successful. Men and women are eligible for low-dose CT screening if they are between ages 55-75 and smoked a minimum of 30 pack-years (the number of packs smoked per day, per year); are either current smokers or have quit within the last 15 years; and presently do not have any symptoms of lung cancer.
Of course, the best way to prevent lung cancer altogether is to avoid smoking, which is responsible for 80-90 percent of all lung cancer deaths.
Fortunately, recent advancements in lung cancer treatment are improving the survival and outlook of all patients with advanced-stage lung cancer. These treatments include genetically targeted drugs and immune checkpoint inhibitors that have fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy, and are more effective in the appropriate patient.
If you are diagnosed with lung cancer, it is important to be treated at a comprehensive cancer center that provides personalized care by physicians who solely focus on lung cancer and provide care from diagnosis to treatment and into survivorship. The cancer center should offer a full range of supportive care, including a nurse navigator who coordinates appointments, as well as pain management, palliative care, pulmonary and physical rehabilitation and survivorship clinics.
NewYork-Presbyterian's (NYP) Cancer Centers provide high-quality, comprehensive cancer care at convenient locations throughout the New York metropolitan area, Westchester and the Lower Hudson Valley in state-of-the-art, comfortable environments. Board certified medical oncologists collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to provide each patient with an individualized plan of care. To find a location in your area, visit nyp.org/cancer.

Affiliated with two academic medical colleges – Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medicine -- NewYork-Presbyterian brings together internationally recognized researchers and clinicians to develop and implement the latest approaches for prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center is one of only three NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers in New York State. NewYork-Presbyterian provides comprehensive cancer care at all of our locations across the New York Metro area including Westchester County and the Hudson Valley. Learn more at nyp.org/cancer.

'Men at Work' overdone formulaic sitcom
Fans of "Sex and the City" have finally gotten their wish: Their beloved sex-focused sitcom is back on the air … sort of. The four women have become four men, of course, and the writing isn't as good. Oh, and the laugh track so annoying, it's offensive. And did I mention that the costumes would be considered fashionable if you were holding a yard sale?
"Men at Work," premiering May 24 on TBS, is almost quaint, it's so old fashioned. If it had any meat on its bones, you'd be tempted to say it's the sadly ignoble epitome of TV's long-festering emasculated-men syndrome. But it's so much of a big, forgettable, innocuous shrug, it's not even worth any actual vitriol.
The show was created by Breckin Meyer, best known for various acting roles including "Franklin & Bash," whose executive producer, Jamie Tarses, is one of "Men's" producers as well. That coziness may have prevented someone from seeing that the new show is to TV what Oakland was to Gertie Stein: There's just no there there.
Danny Masterson ("That '70s Show") isn't exactly the show's star, but probably first among the four equally thin characters at the center of the inaction who all work for a magazine called Full Steam. Danny's Milo has just been dumped by his girlfriend, Lisa, and isn't taking it well. His buddies know exactly what he needs: "Take your newly single penis for a test drive," one of them advises.
More Information
'Men at Work'
When: premieres 9 p.m. May 24
Network: TBS
66 (out of five stars)
The other members of "The (Male) View" include Gibbs (James Lesure, "Mr. Sunshine"), who's either another version of Barney Stinson ("How I Met Your Mother") or "Family Guy's" Quagmire; Tyler (Michael Cassidy, "Privileged"), a pretty-boy celebrity profile writer; and Neal (Adam Busch, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), an uptight, buttoned-down nerd (go ahead: Guess his profession. If you said accountant, apply for a job as a TV series writer) whose girlfriend wants him to talk dirty while they're making love.
Um, yeah. Well, OK: Gasp.
The cast is agreeable, but largely forgettable. If this show was premiering even a decade ago, it might not feel as stale and out of place as it does in today's sitcom world populated with shows like "Modern Family," "Parks and Recreation," "30 Rock," "Raising Hope" and even, God help us, "Two and a Half Men." That isn't to say that an old-fashioned sitcom can't work at all, but shows like "Last Man Standing" at least offer decent writing and an established, likable star in Tim Allen.
And you know? If a cable channel can't at least nudge the boundaries a bit and can only come up with a new show that looks like "My Three Sons" next to any number of current broadcast channel sitcoms, something's seriously wrong with the universe.

RealtyTrac is out with the total foreclosure numbers for 2010. On the whole things are getting worse.
72 percent of major metro areas saw an increase in foreclosure volume. Although some of the worst hit areas in Nevada, California and Florida improved from 2009, the foreclosure rate in these areas remains shockingly high. If not for foreclosure suspensions due to the robosigning scandal, these numbers would have been higher.
For a frightening way to visualize the foreclosure crisis, we're borrowing a Google maps technique described by Barry Ritholtz.

-Logo for a retail brand under which multiple products, of diverse and differering sectors, will be distributed.
-Products distributed via our brand could for example be: lemon squeezers, disposible dust masks, BBQ-gloves, coffeepots etc.
-The products distributed via our brand will all be physical products
-Our brand will not distribute clothing and food products
-Our products will be priced at 5-40 Euros and will therefore be relatively noncomplex and simple. Most will be everyday products for everyday life, but with a high quality and premium sensation associated with them.
-All our products will be for normal consumers distributed via online retail and possibly in retail brick and mortar stores
-The Logo should be unspecific and generally usable for different sectors. It should be representing the professionality, security, quality, reliability, discreetness, smartness and modernity associated with our brand.
-The logo should therefore appear simple, discreet and unobstructive
-We want to target the middle-class and upper middle-class with premium, but non luxury products. Our products have higher quality and reliability than standard products and should have a "premium-sensation" associated with them, especially in their presentation, of course including the Logo.
We are thankful about every single submission!
We are also especially interested in long-term relationships, as there will be much more designing to be done in the future.

[HowTo] Quick start for plugin development
So, you have an idea for a Procon plugin, but you don't know where to begin? The aim of this guide is to help you set up your development environment and source control repositories so you can start turning your fantastic idea into an actual plugin that people can use.
- A GitHub account. Sure, you could probably use other providers, but Procon is hosted on GitHub so it's much easier to just use that. This also implies some knowledge of git-based activities such as forking.
- Visual Studio. The solution file name hints at VS2008, but it runs fine with VS2013. This also implies some knowledge of programming in C# and how to use Visual Studio.
Plugin architecture
A plugin is a single C# file, that:
- is in the namespace PRoConEvents.
- implements PRoConPluginAPI and IPRoConPluginInterface.
When Procon starts up, it will scan its Plugins folder for files that fulfill those two requirements, compile them into their own DLLs and load them into their own AppDomains. A plugin can register events that it is interested in and Procon will forward those registered events to the plugin. What you do with these events is the fun part!
Your plugin
Create a repo for your plugin. This might seem overkill for a single file, but it is great to have a list of releases directly from GitHub. All you need is your plugin and optionally a readme and license.
An example repo (feel free to fork it to get you started):
Example releases:
Fork Procon:
Visual Studio
Update the Procon solution
If you are using a newer version of Visual Studio, you'll have to update the solution file to support it. I updated to VS2013 Ultimate without issue.
Add a project for your plugin
This is not strictly necessary, but I like to isolate my development from Procon core. Procon only supports .NET 3.5 so make sure your project is set to that. Add references to Procon core.
Add the C# file for your plugin to the project as a link. This is very important as you want the file to remain in the repo for your plugin and not in the repo for Procon.
Add a pre-build step to clear out any previous versions of your plugin, e.g.:
del "$(SolutionDir)..\builds\$(ConfigurationName)\Plugins\BF4\TeamKillTracker.*"
xcopy "$(SolutionDir)..\..\Stajs.Procon.TeamKillTracker\TeamKillTracker.cs" "$(SolutionDir)..\builds\$(ConfigurationName)\Plugins\BF4\" /Y /E /I
Under "Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Build and Run", ensure
- "Only build startup projects and dependencies on Run" is unchecked.
- "On Run, when projects are out of date:" is "Always build".
The first time you fire up Procon to debug, you'll have to enable the setting "Tools > Options > Plugins > Debugging > Enable plugin debugging", before Procon will generate debugging symbols for you.
When you want to step through code, you'll have to set a breakpoint in an unusual way. You won't have access to your source file directly, so you'll have to set a breakpoint by function name. This way it will break on the generated function that Procon makes when it compiles your plugin.
I've found it easiest to have the Breakpoints window open, copy the name of the function I want to break on, hit "New > Break at Function…" and paste the name. Once you've hit the function you'll be able to add breakpoints anywhere you want in the generated file.
If you normally connect to a Procon layer when administering your server, this is not what you want to connect to when developing. You need to connect directly to your game server, so that your local plugins are loaded.
To deploy, FTP in to your layer and upload the plugin. You may have to stop/restart the layer if you try and delete the compiled DLLs.
What next?
For further help, start a thread in Plugin Development:
If you want to distribute your plugin through the forums, get it approved:

Nice guide.
Prehaps this could be stickied.

Better yet, how about promoting it to Knowedge Base.Don't send me private messages (PMs) unless you really need privacy, like your game server password. If you just have a question or need help, post in one of the threads. It's extra work for me to answer questions and give help in private messages and no one else gets the benefit of the answer.

text: Farm Rents and the Drought: Now What? July 17, 2012 02:15 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By News Release Email SOURCE: US Farm Lease How can landowners protect themselves during adverse weather years? A question we are now getting frequently is, "How is the drought and excessive heat going to affect my cash rent?" This is being asked by both landowners and tenants. The best answer is, "It is too early to tell." Just this morning I was asked, "Are the farmers going to survive?" In many parts of the Midwest, the answer to these questions will depend on financial stability, marketing talents (or luck), good soil tilth, and crop insurance. Row crop agriculture, in general, has had good years for a while, enabling many operators to build up equity and reserves, which will help carry them through leaner times. Some who took this opportunity to expand in various areas, such as equipment, may be second guessing themselves, but may still be fine financially depending on how they handled financial and production risk. If they rented land that was adequately protected by crop insurance or if they had adequate financial reserves, then, they should come through the year in ok shape. If the producer chose lesser amounts of crop insurance coverage or spent extra cash reserves, then, the picture becomes less clear. Marketing is always a key to profitability. Studies show that producers are better off in most years by marketing their grain early. The main problem to this strategy is when there is adverse weather. A big concern during years of adverse weather is when farmers are prudent and forward sell more bushels than what they grow. With this year's adverse weather, the producer now may not grow enough grain to cover their marketing contracts. This strategy can easily be protected by Federal Crop Insurance. If the producer does not adequately insure and has substantial yield loss, the producer will have to buy corn that is more expensive to fill their contract obligations. Marketing procrastinators who chose not to market early will be ok in this regard, if they grew adequate bushels or have adequate crop insurance. However, procrastination is not a habit of producers who are good financial managers. So what can landowners do to protect themselves during adverse weather years, such as this year? The first line of defense is to select a great tenant who is conscientious about keeping the farm soils in good condition. Good soil condition (tilth) farms are most ready for drought years. They have good soil structure for increased water holding capacity and natural fertility that has been maintained through the years. These farms generally have higher organic matter, another factor which increases water holding capacity. Too much tillage and operating equipment across soil that is wet leads to soil compaction which diminishes soil condition. If your farmer is paying rent in installments after harvest, requiring adequate levels of Federal Crop Insurance is in order. Crop Insurance may be a savior for many this year. A farm that has a 180 bu/acre corn yield and a 80% revenue assurance policy had a $820/acre revenue guarantee based upon a $5.68 spring 2012 coverage price. This same farm would have a $502 guarantee on soybeans with a 50 bu/acre proven yield and a $12.55 spring coverage price. The variable production costs (fertilizer, seed, and chemicals) for Midwest farms are roughly $330/acre for corn and $180/acre on soybeans according to University sources. As long as the producer didn't pay more than $490/acre for corn land and $322 on soybean land then the variable costs are covered. Crop insurance coverage levels can be purchased for up to 85% of revenue based on proven yields. In addition, crop insurance can be purchased that allows for a seasonal price increase, should prices be higher in the fall. If there is widespread drought damage, then crop prices will be substantially higher this fall and Federal Crop Insurance can adjust for that. Farm operators and crop share owners that don't have adequate crop insurance have gambled big this year and this gamble could cost them dearly. What if the farmer is a livestock producer? First of all, livestock manure as a fertilizer generally helps soil condition, especially when applied at recommended levels and if heavy equipment is not used when soils are wet, which causes compaction. Livestock producers that need to purchase corn for feed will be at a financial disadvantage, if prices are higher this fall. Livestock producers that grow their own corn for feed can greatly benefit from Federal Crop Insurance on their crops. There are other marketing tools the livestock producer can use to protect their feed costs. The message at this time is that it is still too early to tell about farm profitability for 2012, but it looks like profits should be fine for the row crop folks, if they are good risk and production managers. The take-home message for landowners is that you need to take an active approach to managing your farm investment and you need to know what is going on with your farmland. The better your farm's soil condition is maintained and soil tilth monitored, the better off you and your tenant will be during adverse weather conditions. Farm rents and incomes are based upon gross incomes, thus, the higher the gross income then the higher the profit for all. Yields cannot be controlled, but they can be maximized by having the soil ready for the growing conditions. Unfortunately, many farmland owners have very little working knowledge of their farm. The active landowner will find great benefit in active knowledge about their investment, so they can know what is going on which will help to improve the land. US Farm Lease has the tools and knowledge needed in assisting you to achieve maximum profitability for you and your farmer. As landowners, here are a few simple things you can do to protect your farm: Require federal crop insurance at higher levels of coverage with a fall price increase guarantee Insist on less tillage and higher plant residue coverage on your soil Back to news

Suzuki SX4 2.0 DDiS SZ5 4WD: Road test review
The SX4 is designed to give buyers the practicality and looks of an all-wheel drive SUV in Swift-sized supermini package. The Suzuki's £17,400 price is certainly attractive, but what sets it apart from bigger rivals such as the Nissan Qashqai and Peugeot 3008?
We spent a week with the 2.0 DDiS SZ5 to find out.
The SX4 was jointly developed with Fiat, although the Sedici is no longer available in the UK. Originally launched back in 2006, the chunky off-road styling looks a bit dated compared to rivals.
Modern touches to the styling include the sloping side window line and the bulging wheel arches.
Our favourite part of the design has to be the large windscreen area, which helps front visibilty even if the large roof pillars compromise the side vision.
Our test car was fitted with one of two engines available for the SX4, the 133bhp 2.0 DDiS diesel. Mated with six-speed manual transmission, the baby Suzuki SUV can achieve 42.8mpg with CO2 emissions of 139g/km, so this Suzuki should prove cost effective to run.
This is a small car and despite the tall body we found the Suzuki very easy to park, even with a lack of rear parking sensors. These would have been very useful for tight spaces though! The Suzuki's light steering is surprisingly precise too.
There's some body roll because of the SX4's tall body, but the Suzuki is a tidy handler and has plenty of grip. Only the clunky six-speed manual transmission disappoints in what is an enjoyable to drive package. The bigger Nissan and Peugeot are more fun to drive.
Considering the four-wheel drive transmission, the ride is very good, coping well with even the worst road scars.
Inside, the SX4 feels robust rather than well-made. Suzuki has a reputation for dependability and reliability, but there are some dodgy, scratchy plastics and the metallic-coloured interior trim felt a bit cheap. Thankfully, all the switchgear feels sturdy and the instruments are easy to read.
In such a small body, the 2.0-litre engine feels very capable, however it is noisy when started from cold and turns thrashy when worked.
The six-speed manual transmission isn't the smoothest, with 60mph coming up in 11.2 seconds and a top speed of 112 mph which means the SX4 isn't going to win any performance awards. Then again that is not really the point of this car.
The SX4's doors open wide and the driving position is comfortable but it's a shame the seats are a bit flat and lack support. This Suzuki's tall shape means plenty of interior space front and rear. There's also a useful 270 litres of luggage space in the boot, which can be extended to 625 litres via the split/fold rear seats.
In range-topping SZ5 trim, the SX4 is well-equipped with electrically adjustable door mirrors, electric front and rear windows, air-conditioning, Bluetooth, a multi-function steering wheel and alloy wheels.
There's no optional sat-nav, but one can be bought from the accessories list. I was impressed at how easily we could pair my phone with the Bluetooth system.
So would we recommend the SX4? Well, it is a bit of an oddity and the design is feeling a bit dated now. However, it is great to drive, has a spacious interior, is well-equipped and the practicality of four-wheel drive. These factors could make the SX4 more attractive than mainstream rivals.

I made a commercial decision many years ago not to compete on price but compete on quality and value for money. I was well aware of low-price items claiming to be the high specification of Gala Tent. However after many case studies it was clear they are evidently not. What I did was invest in research and development, design and technology and produced the finest range of marquees and gazebos on the market. And I'm sure again you will agree that you can in fact make anything cheaper and we have all bought a product on Price and been very disappointed which comes at a COST. And guess what, Gala Tent is still the market leader and recently posted double digit growth in our first quarter of this year alone.
Gala Tent is the only British manufacturer of garden marquees. All our competitors despatch from either Germany, Denmark, France or even China and pose as UK companies by using a .co.uk address. Return postage can cost £100's leaving you with more COSTS and replacement parts will not be available.
Don't get caught out, buy right, first time !!!

View the new, dynamic PVC, which features premier quality, self-cleaning 100% Heavy-Duty PVC – we believe it's the most durable marquee of its kind in the world! Gala Tent™ is the result of over a decade of improvements and modifications, much of which has been stimulated by suggestions and feedback from Gala Tent™ clients. The focus is on product flexibility, functionality and durability. The goal is to ensure that Gala Tent™ remains the best quality commercial quality structure in its class.
Gala Tent™ is manufactured in seventeen different sizes. If you find that you need a larger marquee at a later date, the Gala Tent™ Multi-Bay option offers the flexibility you need, benefiting from a 2m add-on bay option. Gala Tent™ is supplied with a manufacturer's quality guarantee. Anyone can understand the frustration of misplacing a pole, peg or panel. With Gala Tent you can simply replace any missing part by ordering it online. How many other marquee suppliers offer that level of customer service?
Non - Toxic Steel Structural Components
* Gala Tent™ steel tubular pole framework is carefully treated with white powder coating, NOT toxic galvanized or zinc coated paint. This method can potentially be dangerous to humans due to the acid that is used in the manufacturing process. Remember that your hands will be coming into contact with the poles, and in some cases, this can lead to poisoning. Galvanized steel also stains the material which then makes the marquee fabric more perishable, this is why Gala Tent™ use powder coating for the perfect elegant finish.
* Gala Tent™ powder coated steel joint connectors secure to the pole frame with locating heavy duty 50mm winged threaded bolts, with no tools required as the specially designed bolt can be tightened by hand.
* Steel base plates are used on the leg poles, which can also be anchored down for extra security with pegs provided.
* Side skirt and sidewall ground pegs are all included in this package.
* Gala Tent™ Marquees are super quality, ahead of the competition with quality price and value for money. We do not sacrifice quality for margin or seek to compete with off-the-shelf, Chinese mass-produced products which do not stand the test of time.
(COPQ) Cost of Poor Quality
"The below video was sent in to our customer service department, by an individual who asked specifically to create awareness of his story after purchasing a cheaper tent elsewhere. The video shows a mass-produced, cheap Chinese-manufactured inferior product which is not suitable for its purpose. Clear video evidence shows the poor quality in manufacturing and misleading descriptions. The frames are sometimes advertised as galvanised, when they are in fact zinc coated and made on the cheap. This can be quite toxic to the touch, and once in contact with the tent covers will eventually stain and perish them. Another clear give-away to look for, is if the range of 6m wide marquees are limited to a height of 3m at the centre apex. This is to save on manufacturing and material costs, and it would be wise to stay clear of this particular tent and any company selling them. If you have had a similar story of events please let us know."
Keep Reading About Gala Quality, you get what you pay for.
True Quality 100% PVC Tarpaulin Covers
* All canopies are made from approx. 650g/m² PVC which are double stitched for extra strength, and UV resistant. With welded seams they are sealed water-resistant, and most importantly, they are British fire-rated to BS 5438 and BS 7837
Gala Tent Material
Gala Tent™ marquees come in two material variations; PE (polyethylene) and PVC. There are a few levels of PVC and PE quality in the market place, and some unscrupulous sellers will incorrectly advertise them as 240gsm or 500gsm. We have even seen material being advertised at 650g to match Gala Tent™ PVC quality, and upon inspection, they are closer to 380gsm PVC and 160gsm PE.
Here is a video case study below
"If you are still unsure then order a sample of material from Gala Tent and few other sellers and compare we will guarantee you that nothing compares to Gala Tent™ quality."
* Gala Tent™ Marquees which are 6m wide have an extra A framework, and extra centre ridge frame. The height is also enhanced and increased to 3.7m, engineered for safety, whilst our competitors supply 3m unsafe versions which do not compare to Gala Tent™.
* You can control the climate and atmosphere of your event by removing individual 2m sidewalls or end panel sections instantly, to accommodate the occasion.
* Gala Tent™ canopies are manufactured in a seamed one-piece roof section which is an important feature, as this enables the material to remain nice and taut for many years of use.
* Both the end gable sections and the side panel sections can be completely or individually removed to make a canopy only structure, which would be ideal for use as a car port.
* The end gable walls feature both a wide entrance and a narrow doorway that can be rolled up.
* The entrances are opened and closed using heavy duty zip or Dutch laced systems exclusive to Gala Tent™
View Video of Super Quality Dutch Lacing
* Large Georgian panoramic windows in each sidewall section let light flood in to the marquee, and every window panel benefits from a blind cover suitable for blocking light, privacy and storage.
* The windows are made from windproof hard-wearing PVC material.
* All side and end panels overlap using zip, bungee or lace and Velcro. This ensures no draughts, and limited movement of covers flapping in the wind, reducing the annoying cracking noise.
* Package includes: full framework and joint fittings, bungee straps, side panels, end panels, canopy, internal and external sidewall pegs, guide ropes and guide rope pegs.
Enhance Your Company Brand Image.
The Gala Tent™ PVC range is used by many of Britain's leading hire companies for promotional events to raise brand awareness. The quality finish of the Gala Tent™ range provides the qualities that companies seek to incorporate into their brand identities. You can raise awareness of your product, company and campaign through the use of colour printing on the Gala Tent™ canopy and gable end walls. Ask our specialist contact centre staff if you require printing and branding.
Safety Precautions
It is very important to anchor your marquee to the ground even in the calmest weather conditions. The Ground Bar Rail Set is not included in this package, and for Ratchet Tie Down Kits, and Heavy-Duty Ground Rail Pegs and Storage Bags, please see related items.

The St. Louis Rams are planning to activate center Scott Wells from injured reserve this week.
Wells suffered a fractured left foot in the Rams season opener against the Detroit Lions. He was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return making him ineligible for the next eight weeks of the season.
According to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, head coach Jeff Fisher wouldn't commit to Wells playing this week against the Arizona Cardinals.
"We'll see how the week goes and hope to get him back in the lineup," Fisher said.
Wells returned to practice for the first time on Nov. 8 and, according to Thomas, received a large workload with the scout team in practice last week. The Rams will need to release someone to make room for Wells on the 53-man roster.
Wells made the Pro Bowl as a member of the Green Bay Packers in 2011. Wells spent the first eight years of his career with the Packers before signing with the Rams this off-season.

We're rapidly approaching February 14th, and some of you don't like the Romantic Candy-Card Industrial Complex. So, as always, I present the annual reminders of your options for alternate February 14th occasions to observe.
You can always celebrate these anniversaries:
1929: The St Valentines Day Massacre in Chicago.
1950: USSR and China sign peace treaty.
1963: First successful kidney transplant.
February 14th is also the birthday of:
1766: Thomas Malthus, the misanthropic British philosopher.
1817: Frederick Douglass, African-American abolitionist.
1819: Christopher Sholes, American inventor of the typewriter.
Send a nice note to someone you have just met or haven't talked to in a while. Declare yourself Emperor of the World (or Empress) and see if anyone notices. But you have to give back everyone's stuff by the end of the day. Or before the cops come. Treat yourself to a nice meal with someone you genuinely like, but in a completely non-romantic way. I totally approve. Make sure all your electronic equipment is fully recharged, that it may go well for you. Read a short poem out loud, even if no one is looking. No, it doesn't have to be one of mine. Leave two chairs for my and a guest at your desk or table. For we may come by. But don't hold it against us if we don't. We do have a busy schedule, you know.
Though Thao Worra Day is not for everyone, it is free for all to choose and participate in. If you do so choose to mark it, let me know how it goes!

Yeah right, whatever.
Yeah right, whatever.
Yeah right, whatever.
This is the sound of local government machinery in action. To be fair, it doesn�t make this barely audible hum 100 percent of the time. But it nearly always does when it comes to appointing people to random local advisory boards, councils and committees. The names of nominees roll by. Those in authority to appoint sometimes know who they are, but most often do not. They take a cursory look at who the nominees are, if that. Usually if someone else vouched for that person in the nominating process, it�s deemed plenty and OK.
Then the often-noted rubber stamp comes out.
. . . and everybody moves on to bigger issues like school funding.
Yeah right, whatever.
Yeah right, whatever.
Yeah right, whatever.
Except, of course, when it doesn�t go down that way.
Yeah ri--- whoa, wait a minute hold on here . . .
It�s rare, but it happens. And when it does, well, there can often be a large �clank-clunk-psheeew� sound like a previously purring automobile that�s thrown a rod on the interstate. It�s usually the sign of a malfunction. In the case of local government, it usually means something has choked on its mindless consistency or lack thereof.
Example A: The Alamance County Board of Commissioners.
Last week, the board did the �yeah right, whatever� as usual when it comes to appointments, except when it came to a guy named Scott Zienty who was a nominee to be on the Alamance County Human Relations Council. That�s when the �Yeah ri--- whoa� hokey-pokey started. The commissioners sent the nomination back to the 20-plus member Human Relations Council for further review.
And really, the only thing questionable about the commissioners doing so is that they almost never, ever do it at all.
Now Zienty believes the action stems from his connection to pro-Latino efforts in the community via his work with Centro La Comunidad � an organization dedicated to providing resources for Hispanic residents. He has no real proof of it other than that thing about the commissioners almost never taking the action they did. For their part, many of the commissioners say there�s no bias involved, only that Zienty hasn�t lived in the community long enough. He�s been here about 18 months.
A fair point, only there are no guidelines governing how long a person has to live in Alamance County to be appointed. And commissioners also conveniently overlooked that just over four months ago they appointed someone to the same Human Relations Council who had lived in the community less than a year.
Ahhh, the inconsistency of consistency.
Tom Manning, the chairman of the commissioners and his colleagues, questioned why Zienty would go to the media rather than the commissioners if he had concerns about the process. The media is actually the right place to go for people who feel somehow wronged by the system. Put it this way, when was the last time the system corrected itself at someone�s direct request? The commissioners just don�t like the queries coming from a reporter.
And if, as some of the commissioners suspect, Zienty is merely a publicity hound seeking to make them look bad, well, they sure supplied him the required ammunition.
In this case, it�s Commissioner Tim Sutton who has the right idea. Instead of doing the old �yeah right, whatever� when appointing any of these board nominees the commissioners should review each one with care � like a job applicant. They should look closely at the bonafides and ask questions about each and every one equally. And they should have a standard set of rules to follow that outline in detail what would automatically disqualify a nominee. Keep those standards public for all to see.
That way, when a question like the one Zienty poses is asked, there is no room for accusations or speculation.
And who knows, it might even improve the process overall and produce even better advisory boards, councils and committees.
On the other hand, it would require more work on the part of commissioners. They might have to actually conduct research, then leave their politics behind and make informed choices.
Yeah, right � whatever.

My quest to find the man of my dreams
Its been a while since I blogged but after receiving endless tweets and emails asking for updates here I am. Check me out being in demand!
For those of you that haven't followed my blogs before I am a complete open book, I like to share everything straight from the heart because I know so many of you can relate to what I have been through. In a nutshell – way too much heartache! On my quest to meet the man of my dreams I will not settle for anything less than perfection. I would like to meet a kind giving man but I know he also has to be super fun, I do not mean giving in the material sense but someone that will go above and beyond for me everyday as I would for the person I love. I am so over being with selfish, self absorbed men.
Thank god for my friends who have listened to me rant on and on about this for months!
Let's rewind seven months. I had been single for just under a year and no such luck on the dating circuit! A friend of mine Marc set me up on a date with his work colleague Paul and this was the first guy for a long time that I felt could be right. We got on great but before long there were a lot of red flags. Mainly he told me he didn't want a girlfriend so we all know what this means. I carried on seeing Paul whilst still dating other guys, I guess I was hopeful that Paul would change his mind but in the meantime I wasn't going to put my life on hold for him. The problem was all the time I was seeing Paul I was never really interested in any of the poor guys that I went on dates with so it was counter productive and a waste of time.
Paul was really confusing because one minute he would be totally full on with me and the next he would disappear. He even suggested some kind of future with me at one point and whilst deep down I knew I didn't want to be with a guy like this long term I was somehow drawn in. Maybe it was the challenge or the need to conquest him. My friends would all say to me, Nicola you don't actually want him, you just don't like losing because normally you can take your pick, I wouldn't have gone that far but maybe that's the truth. In hindsight his lack of ambition and drive would have bored me to tears eventually anyway.
If in doubt just go out with the girls and do a few shots!
Now we are in March and somehow stumble across a book called…… wait for it. The Power Of The P***y. With a name like this you know it is going to be an intellectual read so of course I downloaded it straight away to listen to on audio at bed time. Girls this book changed my life but it wasn't easy!!!! I have read so many books and I will list all of my favorites at the bottom of the blog but this one for me gave me all the tools I needed to sift through a fair few men to find the man of my dreams.
Available to buy at amazon here.
The biggest lesson I learned from this book is the game! The game is not a nice game in my eyes but 100% necessary and I was fully committed even though its something I would never have done before, I have obviously NOT been getting it right so far so why not try something new.
"You need to have four guys on the go at once"
The Game
You need to have four guys on the go at once…….. as I read this my eyes popped out of my head and my jaw dropped to the ground. Four guys at once, how an earth am I going to manage this????!!!!! Let me make a very important point here, you do not sleep with any of them!!!! There is a two month rule where by each guy you are with will prove himself to you, what is he willing to do to make you feel special? Does he go that extra mile? Does he call when he says he will? Do you meet his friends? Does he still want to see you when you don't invite him in? Ultimately if a guy is completely into you he wont mind waiting however long it takes for the good stuff, mean while he is falling head over heals in love with you. Well this is what the book says. The book tells you to treat the men as you would a hob (so random I know) The two guys that are doing the most work get to the front of the hob and receive the most attention and the other two sit at the back until they prove otherwise. My god what happened to just meeting someone and falling in Love and it just feeling right? This is how it should happen in my eyes but apparently not. Grrrrrr I have spent so long wishing for a fairytale like romance and now I have resorted in playing games!!!
I want this!
My next blog will be revealing the four guys I put on the hob! Just give me a few days to get permission to use there pictures…. Not sure how I am going to manage this one, I am friends with them all still so I hopefully it should be easy (apart from the one I suspected had a girlfriend or some other kind of secret life – no names mentioned Paul).
In the meantime it's me and the Princess Poppy taking on the world!
As promised other books I found really good on the same subject are below.

SAN FRANCISCO--When developers are comparing your new product to the unveiling of the iPhone, you know you've probably got something on your hands.
Such was the reaction at Google I/O in the hours following Google's first demonstration of Google Wave, a bid to redefine the way people communicate on the Internet by blending e-mail, instant messaging, file sharing, and collaboration software into one service. Following a session in which developers were given a peek under the hood at the technology and what it might let them do, several were quite impressed and already pondering what Google Wave would allow them to create.
"I haven't been this jazzed since the release of the iPhone," said Michael Rexroad, a software engineer with Cisco's telepresence systems business unit. He was referring to the way ideas immediately sprung to mind Thursday morning regarding how to use the technology demonstrated Thursday to create new types of applications, much the same way Apple's first public demonstration of the iPhone in January 2007 inspired a generation of software developers.
Developer support is crucial to the success of Google Wave. The company is releasing Wave as a developer preview to attendees on Thursday, and it is still filled with lots of rough edges, bugs, and incomplete details.
But the genius behind Google Wave is not in the individual parts, rather in the way Google has assembled a set of existing technologies into an attractive platform for developers, said Andreas Schobel, chief technology officer for mobile start-up 3Banana.
Schobel compared Wave to how Google Maps (perhaps not coincidentally developed by the same people behind Google Wave) awoke developers to the possibilities presented by Ajax technologies, which had been around for some time but had yet to gain traction as some of the core technologies used to build the modern Web.
Daniel Jefferies, president of Newmind Group, a Google Apps reseller, is not a developer, but was intrigued by the possibility of using Wave as an internal tool for improving the productivity of his company. Newmind provides consulting services for helping small and medium businesses implement Google Apps inside their groups, and thought he could better manage his team, their tasks, and their relationships with clients with this sort of tool.
Perhaps the most ringing endorsement came from a software engineer employed by one of Google's rivals, who declined to be identified for obvious reasons. "This will revolutionize e-mail," he said.
While that may be a stretch at this juncture, developers filling the halls of the Moscone Center are definitely buzzing about Google Wave.

1. Make sure you know exactly what is being offered in the class. Are you making a project or is it a technique or design class? Have you seen the sample? Are you there to make a project, learn something new, or just to visit? Knowing exactly what you want from the class makes it a more enjoyable experience.
2. Read the supply list carefully and make sure you bring everything required. Sometimes the teacher will require certain things for a reason. If you want to bring an alternate brand, or don't feel you want to buy a particular supply item, be sure to contact the instructor and ask if it is satisfactory. Anticipate things that the instructor may not have put on the list, such as extra bobbins or needles, a new rotary blade, etc.
3. Always buy the book or pattern being offered. You may need the reference material when you get home and it is important to support the designers.
4. Make sure you are familiar with your well-tuned sewing machine. Nothing ruins a class faster than a machine that does not work properly! If one of the requirements is a special foot for the machine, try it out at home first. It is important to be prepared just in case the store or show doesn't have what you need.
5. Be prepared for a room that may be too hot or too cold.
6. Be sure to follow good classroom etiquette. Do not show up to a class at the exact starting time. Arrive with enough time to set up and be acclimated to your environment. Leave your cell phone at home. If you absolutely need to make a call, leave the room. Make sure you are listening carefully while the instructor is speaking. Chatting at the wrong times can be very disruptive to others and annoying to the teacher.
7. Although you know a different method that can achieve the same result, always try what the teacher is demonstrating. You may learn something new!
8. Don't bring your best fabric to the class expecting spectacular results, especially for a techniques class. Sometimes you have better results if you learn the techniques and then try it again on new fabric at home. This way you can relax and not worry about the cost if you don't like how the project is turning out. On the other hand, don't bring your 1970s junk fabric. Christmas fabrics are good, because you can always use a Christmas projecteither for yourself or as a gift!
9. Give yourself permission not to finish every class sample, especially from a technique class. You may not like the technique, or you may be ready to start a whole new project with that technique.
10. Be careful of comparing your progress to others in the class. Don't fret if someone is going faster than you areit isn't a race! Don't worry that others in the class have a better color combination than you. Most quilts look wonderful with different color combinations, and it is normal to like a lot of them. Instead of letting it discourage you, look at it as a bonus lesson. You just discovered that you like the look of a certain color or fabric grouping that you have not considered before.
11. Be patient with yourself! Many people sew better at home without distractions. Learning new things is never easy and it is even more difficult when you are hard on yourself. If you find yourself falling behind, make sure you listen to the instructions. Let the teacher know you may be having trouble. She could show you why you are having difficulty and even offer some extra help when you are behind.
12. Come prepared to have a good time. Remember that is why we do thisfor fun!

Thankful Thursday!
After not posting for Thankful Thursday in over 2.5 years, here I am again! I've had so much to be thankful for since then, what a wonderful life :) My children are growing up healthy and happy, my marriage is solid, my outlook on life is positive.
Today, Thursday June 5th, I'm thankful for who I am. I actually wouldn't want to be any other person; I feel "well in my skin" as the expression goes in French. I have been blessed in life.
It's such a nice day too! It was nice and cool outside, but sunny at the same time; it's perfection! In my dress, wearing pearls, showing off a bit of my tattoo, wearing turquoise as an accent colour in my outfit, woohoo ;)
