EastBridge Investment Group, Inc. (OTCBB: EBIG), a provider of financial services to emerging public companies in Asia, with clients similar to companies like Chinacast Education Corporation (Nasdaq: CAST) and China Education Alliance, Inc. (NYSE: CEU), recently held an investor conference call that outlined its current status and future outlook.
EastBridge Investment Group Inc. (OTCBB: EBIG), a provider of financial services to emerging public companies in Asia, held an investor conference call on July 11, 2011, which outlined its current status and future outlook. On the call, the company's executives also revealed a number of near-term catalysts that could push the stock higher over the coming months.
In order to obtain a favorable valuation, EastBridge clients Tsingda Education and Wonder Education have been forced to delay their initial public offerings. A number of recent accounting scandals, combined with government measures to slow the economy, has adversely affected investors' appetite for Chinese public companies. But luckily, things are now starting to turn around.
Management indicated on the conference call that the Chinese IPO climate is slowly improving and they are in discussions with investment banks to set a date for the offerings. Meanwhile, both companies are fully reporting and continue to post strong top and bottom line growth. Tsingda Education's net income is projected to reach $16 million in 2012, while Wonder Education has projected growth of around 20%.
In addition to Tsingda and Wonder, the company is close to filing registration statements for two other clients, Dwarf Technology and Arem Pacific. They expect to file both companies within the next 30 to 45 days. Also, they continue to work with several other clients to prepare them for the process to get listed on a US stock exchange. EastBridge's pipeline of clients is strong and flowing.
In the meantime, EastBridge has branched out into new agreements that involve upfront payments as well as equity. Some investors are hoping that these agreements will pay off in the near-term, while Tsingda Education, Wonder Education and other clients offer longer-term potential with their equity.
Management indicated on the conference call that one of its clients, Cambrium Learning, was working with Tsingda Education to introduce English language learning software and services in China. The company is earning a fee by virtue of this introduction, and will share in the revenue generated by this joint venture (JV) between Tsingda and Cambium. Of course, this JV will also provide additional revenue for Tsingda helping to improve its net income, leading to a higher IPO valuation.
Fizza is a U.S.-based client that is developing a drink that tastes like soda but has the same healthy properties as milk. In a similar arrangement, this company paid an upfront fee in addition to equity in order to engage EastBridge. Meanwhile, management reported significant progress in setting up its manufacturing capacity and preparing its product for launch.
Due to the IPO delays and its temporary delisting from the OTCBB, EastBridge's stock dropped some 55% over the past six months. Now, the company is relisted on the OTCBB and closer than ever to facilitating several IPOs and unlocking significant value for shareholders. In the meantime, the firm's fee-based clients should provide a steady income to help bolster its financials.
In the end, these factors make EastBridge Investment Group (OTCBB: EBIG) an attractive investment opportunity at these levels.

'Roots' Remake Miniseries Lined Up at History Channel
Kevin Fitzpatrick Published: November 6, 2013
An ever sensitive topic though it remains, slavery films in Hollywood have no doubt risen the last few years in public profile, from '12 Years a Slave' to 'Django Unchained,' and now the trend has reached TV. History will reboot the iconic 'Roots' miniseries as an all-new drama, but who from the original production will have any involvement?
Deadline broke news of History's latest epic, which follows historical(-ish) offerings like 'The Bible,' 'Hatfields & McCoys' and 'Vikings' in another step away from the network's documentary origins. Unlike the original 12-hour 1977 production of 'Roots,' whose finale drew a staggering 100 million viewers as the series at large drew a record-breaking 37 Emmy nominations, History's rendition will unfold as an 8-episode miniseries.
Additionally, Mark Wolper, son of the original mastermind David L. Wolper, will take on executive producing duties for the new incarnation of 'Roots,' while History begins negotiations with writers for the project. The original 'Roots' author Alex Haley's 'Roots: The Saga Of An American Family' told a story of slavery that began with Kunta Kinte (a pre-'Star Trek' LeVar Burton) in Africa, and travels through history to America for multiple generations to come.
The new 'Roots' will draw both from the original book and iconic miniseries "from a contemporary perspective," says Deadline. History's EVP and General Manager Dirk Hoogstra adds, "We would like to revive that cultural icon for a new audience."
What say you? Would you be interested to see 'Roots' retold for a modern audience, or does the 1977 version stand the test of time? Who do you think might fit the bill to star in a new generation of 'Roots'?

Coronation Street SPOILER: Gemma and Chesney over already?
They have only been together for five minutes, but it looks like Gemma Winter and Chesney Brown's new romance could be on the rocks already.
The nation rejoiced when Chesney and Gemma finally got together after the longest will they/won't they saga ever.
The pair have had the hots for each other for months, and thanks to Chesney's then girlfriend Emma realising that the pair are meant to be together, they finally became a couple.
But next week sees the reality of having a grown-up relationship hit when Gemma tries to cook a nice tea for Chesney and Joseph.
Her plan to make a meal for her new man and his son fall flat when she ends up burning her hand on the oven, causing her to swear in front of a young and impressionable Joseph.
Unfortunately for Gemma, it seems Joseph is like a sponge, and has remembered her naughty word that she used when she hurt herself... leading to an almighty fight with Chesney.
When Joseph refuses to go to bed later in the week, Chesney pulls out the prize parenting trump card and tells him that unless he gets up those stairs then there's no television for a week.
But what Ches doesn't count on is Joseph firing off Gemma's swear word at him before running up to his room.
Chesney is fuming that his new girlfriend has taught his young son a rude word and berates Gemma for being a bad influence.
Gemma is upset at being told off and, with their romantic evening ruined, she storms out of the house in a strop.
Realising that Gemma's heart was in the right place, Chesney decides he has got some making up to do and plans a romantic Valentine's surprise for Gemma.
He plans an evening that his new girlfriend won't forget, leaving her thrilled. But it soon becomes clear that Gemma will remember their first Valentine's together for all the wrong reasons after their evening goes pear-shaped once again.
Will these two ever get their romance on track, or is this a relationship doomed from the start?
Do you think Gemma and Chesney make a good couple? Leave us a comment on our Facebook page @EntertainmentDailyFix and let us know what you think!

There are people that misunderstand what it means to be a positive person. Some seem to think it means that you say nothing negative, think nothing negative and basically live in denial of all difficult circumstances in life. They believe that as long as you don't acknowledge that there's a problem, then the problem doesn't really exist, or at least it doesn't have control over you.
I had a friend who wouldn't open her electric bill when it came in the mail because she feared the amount it would be if opened. To her, as long as she didn't see it, it didn't exist. But if she ignored it long enough, her power would be turned off. No amount of denial would change that fact. She had a bill that needed to be paid and it wasn't going away unless she faced it and worked out a plan to pay it.
They don't allow those things to hang around for long. It's not easy to do either. Facing difficult situations can be scary and stressful, but anyone can learn to look for the positive side to a negative day.
Can you see the good in a rainy day? The rain makes it harder to drive through traffic or to keep your shoes clean, but it brings some much needed water to the earth and creates amazing puddles for you to wade through. Are you more prone to see the mud on your shoes or the rainbow that just formed in the sky? It's all a matter of perspective. Good and bad both exist in every situation. You have a choice of what you will focus on.
Each person diagnosed with MS is affected by it. We are all human and we all hurt. Anyone that says they never have a negative thought or feeling regarding MS is not being truthful. We all have them. It's what we do with those thoughts and feelings that matters.
If you need to have a melt down, cry, vent, or even scream…it's okay. We need to take time to process all that is happening. The continual changes that are happening can get overwhelming.
The fact is, MS is real and it's not going away tomorrow apart from a miracle. That is the bad. But as you wait for your miracle you can choose to see the good all around you.
Laugh, love, cry, hurt, smile, but choose to live your life each day from a place of positivity. Find the smile in your day, the rainbow in the sky, the good in the bad. Don't deny that MS exists in your life, just deny its power over you being able to live it.
Now that's being a positive person.
Sometimes in the exhaustion of trying to present a positive front so people won't be uncomfortable with my disease, it's nice to have confirmation that it's ok to cry once in a while.
Thanks Penelope well done with the explanation of positive thinking. Like the Life of Brian final song, Look On The Bright Side of Life. It is a good way of living and getting rid of the rubbish that can collect.
Often try to turn a negative into a positive. Thank you for this, encourages me more. Even when I cry tell myself it's my boost to move onto the next thing.

The base cost of a divorce in Louisiana varies from county to county. Someone who is filing a petition for divorce may have to pay anywhere from $100 to $400 for this service depending on their service. In addition, if you must serve a spouse with a copy of the complaint and do not feel comfortable doing this yourself, you must pay a small fee to a sheriff's office or to a process server.
When a written agreement can be created, no lawyers need be involved. Using templates that can be found in many forms online, couples can easily prepare a document for a judge to approve. Preparing this paperwork without a lawyer will help reduce your estimation of how much does a divorce cost in Louisiana.
After a spouse is served with notice of the complaint lodged against them, they are allowed to formally contest the divorce by filing an official response with the court. They will be charged an additional fee for this paperwork. Be sure to distinguish between expenses charged to one individual and those that may be split between the couple when estimating how much does a divorce cost in Louisiana. During the pretrial process, informal court-supervised meetings will attempt to help couples resolve their differences with the help of a neutral, publicly-appointed divorce process.
For couples who agree on the importance of creating a separation agreement to present to the court, it may be worthwhile to share the expense of a lawyer specializing in divorce mediation. This attorney can help resolve disputes and prepare a legally correct document to submit to the court.
If an agreement covering all areas of dispute cannot be arrived at, one or both spouses may wish to retain private legal counsel to advise them in court. These types of lawyers often charge an expensive fee by the hour. This will require you to revise your estimate of how much does a divorce cost in Louisiana. Should you decide you need an attorney's services, be sure to receive a detailed written estimate of how many hours they expect to work on your case and what your final bill will be.

How The Sound Of Your Voice Affects Your Career — Especially As A Black Woman
Has anyone ever told you, "You don't sound Black?" It's happened to me more times than I can count. And, usually, the person saying it means it as a compliment, though I never take it as such. For me, my question is always "What does Black sound like?"
According to a new study published in Forbes, the sound of your voice can actually hold you back in your career–especially if you are a Black woman. A professor at Northwestern University conducted the study of 75 diverse students, 57 of whom were women and 18 men, first asking them to rate leadership qualities which they ranked in the following order: "verbal communication; decision-making; inspiring others; focus on getting things done; ability to adapt quickly to situations; managing others; ability to think of creative, innovative solutions; delegating; sensitivity to others' concerns; getting the most out of employees; and growing the organization," reported Forbes.
Each student then "listened to audio of a voice reading a script of a company leader speaking (to an employee). Each student was randomly assigned to hear only one voice reading the exact same script. Though the participants were not given any information about the leaders (aka, the voices), the same script was read by one of the following: a white man, a white woman, a Black man or a Black woman," reported Forbes.
Guess who received the highest scores on Leadership qualities? White males. "The black male voice scored the next highest, followed by the white woman's voice, then the Black woman's voice," reported Forbes.
What the study found was that the male respondents had an unwillingness to work for female leaders, no matter how high the female's ranked on leadership skills.
"Women's voices in particular can be considered shrill — Hillary Clinton was on the receiving end of that criticism during the contentious US presidential elections and the late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher took voice lessons with a speech coach in order to develop a lower pitch to sound more authoritative," reported Forbes.
Regarding the Black female voice, one student wrote naively about her leadership qualities: "She shuts down the employee's ideas without cause and without alternative solutions. Abrasive/rude — not in an efficient way. Demands things of/threatens the customer. Seems possibly effective in the moment but not conducive to a long-term relationship."
That may not come as a shock to you as a Black woman in the workplace. We know all too well about the biases that lead us to be labeled angry Black women when we're simply being assertive leaders. One good thing Forbes pointed out, though, is that "we tend to dampen our implicit biases when told about them." So don't feel bad when calling out employers or co-workers for their discrimination; that's the only way they'll eventually do better.

World Championships Day 1 Preview
By Jesse Squire
The IAAF World Championships begin today in London's Olympic Stadium, and all eyes will be on London native Mo Farah as he attempts to win his fifth straight major 10,000 meter final — the last time he will ever race that distance on the track.
As you can see, the schedule is all qualifying rounds and just a single final, the men's 10,000 meters, but it's going to be a good one. Track and field's two biggest names in recent memory will be on the track today: Farah in the 10k and Usain Bolt in the 100 meter quarterfinals.
If you only have time to watch one event, make sure you're ready for that 10k race at 4:20pm Eastern time. And how, exactly, can you watch?
Today's action will be televised in the USA live on the Olympic Channel from 1:00 to 5:00pm EDT and in tape-delayed fashion on NBC Sports Network from 7:00 to 9:00pm.
Lie streams will be available to US viewers via NBC Sports Gold. There will be a track-centric all-event stream plus one each dedicated to discus, long jump, and pole vault, along with a simulcast stream of the Olympic Channel broadcast. A "track and field pass" is required ($70 per year) but is well worth the cost – and unlike other broadcasters' online platforms, no cable subscription is necessary for access.
Online coverage in Canada will be via CBCsports.ca and television coverage will be via CBC (live at 3:00pm EDT, replay at 8:00pm local time).
The IAAF will also offer a live stream via YouTube and Facebook which will be available in a large number of nations (which includes Canada but not the USA). The IAAF Radio service will be available globally and can be accessed through both the IAAF website and the IAAF mobile app.
Determined fans can bypass various geoblocking measures by installing a VPN. Exceptionally determined fans can view CBC broadcasts by temporarily relocating to a northern postindustrial hellscape such as Detroit, Buffalo, or Toledo.
We also highly recommend the live results & text commentary page at the IAAF website.
EVENT-BY-EVENT
Headline Event: Men's 10,000 meters
Medal favorites: Mo Farah (GBR), Geoffrey Kamworwor (KEN), Paul Tanui (KEN)
US entries: Hassan Mead, Shadrack Kipchirchir, Leonard Korir
Canadian entry: Mo Ahmed
Mo Farah's standard approach is to spend the early miles paying little to no attention to the gamesmanship at the front of the race, then somehow gain control in the closing laps and outrun everyone at the bell. In championship events it's only failed once in the last seven years, in the 10k at the 2011 Worlds. His formula isn't terribly complicated, just difficult to do. Farah appears more vulnerable than in the past, but even so Kenyans Kamworwor and Tanui are among the only competitors who are given much chance of beating him. As for the Americans and the Canadian, anything in the top eight or so would be success.
2:00pm: Men's 100 meters preliminary round
Qualifying format: The first three in each of four heats plus the next two fastest qualify to the quarterfinals
Canadian entry: Brendan Rodney
The fastest qualifiers get a bye out of this round; everyone here has a seasonal best of 10.14 or slower.
2:20pm: Men's Discus Throw qualifying
Qualifying format: The top twelve qualify to the finals, 64.50 meters or better will do so automatically
US entries: Mason Finley, Rodney Brown, Andrew Evans
Canadian entries: none
The USA has qualified just one thrower to the finals of the last four World/Olympic men's discus throw competitions (Mason Finley, last year), so merely qualifying is considered success.
2:30pm: Men's Long Jump qualifying
Qualifying format: The top twelve qualify to the finals, 8.05 meters or better will do so automatically
US entries: Jarrion Lawson, Marquis Dendy, Jeff Henderson
The USA should expect to get all three jumpers to the final but field event q-rounds can be tricky since athletes get only three attempts.
2:35pm: Women's 1500 meters heats
Qualifying format: The first six in each of three heats plus the next six fastest will qualify to the semifinals
US entries: Kate Grace, Jenny Simpson, Sara Vaughn
Canadian entries: Nicole Sifuentes, Sheila Reid, Gabriela Stafford
Just 20 of the 44 entries will be eliminated in this round, but that still leaves room for an early exit if anyone is not up to the task.
2:45pm: Women's Pole Vault qualifying
US entries: Sandi Morris, Jenn Suhr, Emily Grove
Canadian entries: Kelsie Ahbe, Alysha Newman, Anicka Newell
Even the best pole vaulters can have off days, so nothing is guaranteed in the qualifying round.
3:20pm: Men's 100 meters quarterfinals
Qualifying format: The top three in each of six heats plus the next six fastest will qualify to the semifinals.
US entries: Justin Gatlin, Christian Coleman, Christopher Belcher
Canadian entries: Andre De Grasse, Gavin Smellie, Brendan Rodney
The IAAF is calling this round the "heats". If you know much about the FA Cup, you might call this the "first round proper". It's where the faster qualifiers enter the competition—and yes, that includes Usain Bolt. Canada's De Grasse, expected to give Bolt a real challenge, has made a late withdrawal due to injury.

Q: How to update Rails version on shared hosting server I have shared hosting server on bigrock.com and there is Ruby installed version 1.9 but it supports Rails 3 version and I am learning Rails 4.0.1. I talked with server support but got no answer.
So question is is there any way I can deploy Rails 4 application on my server or I will switch some other server.
As I told I am learner and can't afford money. Big rock is cheapest server I have seen. Yes I know there is Heroku but there are too many limitations for free user and for premiere user it is costly.

A: You can use Rails 4 if your ruby version is 1.9.3+
Rails Documentation says
Ruby 2.0 preferred; 1.9.3+ required
Include rails version in your Gemfile.
For example
gem 'rails', '4.0.1'

A: Rails 4 prefers Ruby 2.0
The best way is install your own ruby 2 by Ruby Version Manager (RVM) if you can
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
rvm install 2

An other way is buy a cheap VPS like 15$/year or $5/month

Careers: IT Hiring Still Strong
Thirteen percent of CIOs expect to hire new IT workers in the coming quarter
Every quarter, information technology staffing firm Robert Half Technology checks the vitals of the IT job market, surveying enterprise CIOs—more than 1,400 of them—to get a feel for their hiring plans in the coming quarter.
Now, as in previous quarters, Robert Half researchers have good news for North American IT pros. More than 1 in 10 (13 percent) of CIOs expect to hire new IT workers in the coming quarter, while just 3 percent anticipate making reductions. Past Robert Half CIO surveys have been tempered by sobering caveats—for example, a net 9 percent of CIOs anticipated hiring new IT workers in Q2, which was down from the previous quarter. No so this time. This quarter's net hiring outlook is at least unchanged from the previous quarter.
All told, Robert Half researchers flagged a number of salient trends that are helping to drive IT job growth. For one thing, Robert Half says, continuing business growth is leading the charge, which is a good thing as far as U.S. firms—and U.S. IT workers—are concerned. Second, help desk and end-user support professionals are most in demand. This is consistent with Robert Half's findings over the past several quarters. Third, CIOs in the East South Central region (Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee) and Mountain states are most optimistic about hiring activity. On a per-vertical basis, the construction industry should see the strongest IT employment gains.
"Ongoing competition for IT professionals, particularly those with hard-to-find skill sets and specialized expertise, is prompting many companies to devote greater resources to recruitment and retention efforts," said Katherine Spencer Lee, executive director of Robert Half Technology, in a statement.
While most CIOs cited business growth as the primary impetus for new hiring, nearly one-fifth (19 percent) cited installation or development of new enterprise-wide applications. That's up six points from Robert Half's previous survey, and suggests that U.S. firms are moving forward with more resource- and personnel-intensive projects.
Overall, fully four-fifths of enterprise CIOs cited Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 skills as those which are most in demand, followed closely by network administration (specifically with respect to Cisco, Nortel, and Novell technologies). Demand for RDBMS management skills was third.
Windows, network administration, and database management skills might be most in demand, but CIOs say another segment—that of help desk management or end-user support—as the most rapidly growing skill area. Networking was second, followed by application development.
For Q4, nearly one-quarter (23 percent) of executives in the East South Central region—which includes at least two states (i.e., Alabama and Mississippi) that were hit a year ago by Hurricane Katrina—anticipate adding to their employment rolls, while just 1 percent forecast staff cutbacks. That's 12 points above the national average, Robert Half researchers say.
"Many companies have been moving into the East South Central region to take advantage of the lower cost of doing business and are actively recruiting employees," Lee observed. "Firms that have recently invested in hardware and software upgrades now require long-term support for their systems, which is creating demand for help desk professionals, network engineers, and network security staff." Ditto for CIOs in the eight-state Mountain region, where 21 percent of IT execs expect to add jobs in Q4 and no state is forecasting reductions.
CIOs in the construction industry are most bullish about hiring in the coming quarter, with more than a third (34 percent) planning to add IT staff and none anticipating cutbacks. Similarly, CIOs in the professional services and business services sectors also anticipate adding employees at a higher than average clip, with IT execs in both industries projecting a net 14 percent hiring increase in Q4.

The Opposite of Me
Pekkanen, Sarah
A "fresh, funny, and satisfying" ( New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner) about the complicated bonds of sisterhood.
Twenty-nine-year-old Lindsey Rose has, for as long as she can remember, lived in the shadow of her ravishingly beautiful fraternal twin sister, Alex. Determined to get noticed, Lindsey is finally on the cusp of being named VP creative director of an elite New York advertising agency, after years of eighty-plus-hour weeks, migraines, and profound loneliness. But during the course of one devastating night, Lindsey's carefully constructed life implodes. Humiliated, she flees the glitter of Manhattan and retreats to the time warp of her parents' Maryland home. As her sister plans her lavish wedding to her Prince Charming, Lindsey struggles to maintain her identity as the smart, responsible twin while she furtively tries to piece her career back together. But things get more complicated when a long-held family secret is unleashed that forces both sisters to reconsider who they are and who they are meant to be.

A book about figuring out who you want to be as opposed to who you are expected to be. Also examines the competitive nature of sisters. Humourous, relatable, and emotional. Recommended for Emily Giffin and Jennifer Weiner fans.

That was a whole lot of fun to close the season on Saturday. Here are my highlights and lowlights.
Best offensive performance: Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor. Antwan Goodley is very deserving, too, but Petty controlled this game and never made a mistake that could let Texas back into the game in the second half. He got into a rhythm late and helped Baylor gain some distance from Texas with a pair of third-quarter scoring drives. He finished with 287 yards and two scores on 21-of-37 passing to cap a runaway campaign for the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year award.
Best offensive performance in a loss: Desmond Roland, RB, Oklahoma State. Roland was probably better than Petty, but he was slowed down in the second half and OSU didn't get a win. He had 144 yards and two scores on 21 carries, not including a 75-yard touchdown run on the game's first play that was erased by a holding penalty.
Best defensive performance: K.J. Morton, CB, Baylor. Morton picked off Case McCoy down the field in the first quarter, and sealed the game with an interception late in the fourth quarter. I'm going to pretend Ahmad Dixon didn't get flagged for a phantom unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and give Morton the touchdown there. He broke up two more passes and had three tackles. It's always fun being the guy to official cue up the party in a stadium.
Best play: Michael Hunnicutt and Grant Bothun, Oklahoma. Words cannot express how much I love this play call and the execution. It may have been an option play, but this looked like schoolyard football at its best. The Sooners faked what would have been a 25-yard field goal and Bothun found Hunnicutt, who got laid out by the OSU defense but crossed the plane first to give OU a game-tying touchdown late in the third quarter. Gutsy call from Big Game Bob.
Worst play: Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State. I love Gilbert's game, and he might be the nation's best corner, but I have no idea how he dropped what would have been a game-winning interception late. It wasn't an effort issue, and perhaps "worst" play is unfair here, but he looked like he had a solid grip on the ball before landing on the ground jarred it loose. Considering how the game ended, it's hard not to draw a comparison to Texas safety Blake Gideon's drop against Texas Tech back in that infamous game in 2008. Is Blake Bell to Jalen Saunders the new Harrell to Crabtree? They certainly grabbed a spot in Big 12 lore, even if it's nowhere near as prominent.
Worst sportsmanship: Oklahoma State fans. Hey, I don't really care how much OU players were celebrating and taunting OSU fans right behind the sideline. Don't throw "snowballs" (iceballs is more accurate) and don't try to trip players on the field. Yes, I'm talking to you, OSU cheerleader. Come on. Be better than that.
Best scene: Who doesn't love seeing faith and a dream realized? You must have a heart of stone if you didn't get a little emotional seeing tears running down Art Briles' face on the podium accepting the Big 12 title trophy.
Best postgame interview props: Hey, Ahmad Dixon's just a huge fan of Tex-Mex food. Well played, sir.
Best quote: Ahmad Dixon. "The dream became reality." That says about all you need to know about this season in Waco and across the Big 12.


We are proud to be able to offer our Willerby Sierra for hire. The caravan was sited brand new in late May 2013. This is a modern, high quality, caravan with a large, almost floor to ceiling, window at the front of the lounge. This allows light to flood in to the caravan and gives a great feel when you are spending time in the caravan.
This caravan is fully insulated, double glazed, and has gas fired central heating, so it will be warm and comfortable to use all year round. For your enjoyment, there is a 32" LCD TV and a Blu-Ray / DVD player that also has a USB port and is capable of playing certain media files directly from a USB key or portable hard drive.
The Willerby Sierra is on plot number: 133. If you have never, been to the Butlins caravan park at Minehead, it is a beautiful and well presented caravan park that has a large fishing lake. Unlike some other caravan parks, here the caravans are not all closely packed in rows, and there is plenty of room. Our caravans are 2 of 8 caravans in a semi-circle called Tidal Cove. We have a reasonable sized grassed area in the middle at the front of the caravans, and dedicated parking just meters away.
Tidal Cove is towards the back of the caravan site. This is a huge benefit as you will receive less noise from people moving about the site and from Butlins itself. However, our caravans are still only approximately a 10 minute walk from all of the Butlins facilities.
We take PayPal at no additional cost to you!
