Carole Libelo
Assistant Principal Oboe & English Horn
Assistant Principal Oboe and English Horn, Carole Libelo, is a longtime resident of the DC area. She has performed with many area orchestras including the National Symphony Orchestra, Richmond Symphony, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Post Classical Ensemble, Wolf Trap Foundation Orchestra, and the Eclipse Chamber Orchestra. She has been a member of The George Washington University faculty since 2005.
Before moving to DC, Ms. Libelo received a Bachelor of Science in Music Education from West Virginia University and a Master of Music in Performance from The New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where she studied with the late Alfred Genovese. While living in Boston, she was guest Principal Oboist with the Portland (Maine) Symphony Orchestra. In her early years in the DC area she was Principal Oboe with the National Gallery of Art Orchestra and the Virginia Chamber Orchestra. She also appeared as soloist with both orchestras, garnering reviews such as, "Carole Libelo played oboe and English Horn exquisitely," with "well-shaped and articulated lines." (Washington Post)
Of Ms. Libelo's many performances with the KCOHO, the Washington National Opera's production of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde was one of her most memorable. She performed the hauntingly beautiful English Horn solo to enthusiastic reviews by the Washington Post and Opera News:
"Carole Libelo played the long and crucial English Horn solo at the beginning of Act III with just the right mixture of easy lyricism and sinister intent." (Washington Post)
"Carole Libelo offered a beautiful, lyrically phrased English Horn solo in Act III." (Opera News)

Valve disorders
Valve disorders (heart valve disease) occurs if a valve becomes stiff or does not close correctly.
The four chambers that make up your heart each have an exit or valve. These valves ensure that blood flows freely in one direction and does not 'leak' back into the chambers.
Valve disorders can be congenital (occur at birth) or as a result of another disease or infection
Symptoms of valve disorders vary and do not always occur. Symptoms can include:
- Weight gain (rapid)
- Swelling in feet and/or ankles
- Bloating (swelling) of your abdomen
- Palpitations [hyperlink]
- Difficulty breathing or short of breath when active or lying down
- Weakness
- Dizziness
These symptoms can be a result of other conditions. You should seek medical treatment if you experience these symptoms. Your GP may refer you to a specialist consultant for diagnosis and treatment.
How are valve disorders diagnosed?
After a thorough examination your consultant may recommend one or more tests:
Angiography (cardiac catheterisation)
Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE)
How are valve disorders treated?
Treatment for your valve disorder will vary depending on your own situation. Medications to ease symptoms and protect the valves from further damage may be prescribed including control of high blood pressure and drugs to thin your blood.
If conservative methods to control your valve disorder are not successful your consultant may recommend surgery to repair or replace the diseased valve(s).

Life is great I am keeping so busy with my Monkey and the family. I have also been busy online planning Lizzy's 21st birthday trip to Las Vegas. It is tradition that I take the girls to Las Vegas on their 21st birthdays. This December is Lizzy's turn. When I am not with my family or online making reservations, I am locked away in my studio creating. Below you can see some of what I have been creating.
This is the latest book. . .
Of course it is made with ALL G-45 papers (you know I love them). Lots of flips, folds and pull outs in this handmade book. It includes Genealogical fan charts as well as photos of my family, starting with my grandaughter and going back to my Great-grandparents. There are 2 sections to the book. The right side is "My Past" it is divided up by my Mom's side of the family on one side and my Dad's on the other. Inside the front cover (left side) is my "present & future". Be watching the calendar at The Creative Quest for the date of this class. You can click on the photo here to see the rest of the book.
This is the "before" photo of the cradle I told you I was working on for Monkey.
This is the "after" picture. I still don't have the bedding made, but the fabrics are all purchased. You can se them in the bottom left of the photo here.
Lastly I had to share this picture of Monkey from yesterday. She kept telling me she did NOT want to take a nap. She was happy and playing well so I let her be the judge of how tired she was. She had been playing on "Kong" the monkey, laughing and talking to her "meow meow" (toy lion) and all of a sudden it was just quiet. I looked up from what I was doing and she was sound asleep on Kong! When I came back with my camera the dogs had all circled around her as if to protect her. She slept there for about 45 min. I have NEVER seen this child just fall asleep right where she's at. She must have been really tired!!!
Speaking of tired - that's what I am now - talk to you all soon. Have a fun and safe holiday weekend!!!!

We teach people how to remember, we never teach them how to grow.
–Oscar Wilde, 1907
My dear boy, people who love once in their lives are really shallow people. What they call their loyalty and their fidelity is either the lethargy of custom or lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life is what constance is to the intellectual life, simply a confession of failure.
–Oscar Wilde, 1890
Oscar Wilde was a witty, prolific, and very successful literary figure who suffered imprisonment for refusing to deny his gay behavior. However, when one's livelihood requires popularity and acceptance, revolution is a stance that should require thoughtful consideration of its risks. Thus, his story is a conspicuous example where the rules of society, which reflect a society's conception of moral behavior and its conception (or misconception) of humanity, dictated that a person of enormous talent and intellect must be disguised, marginalized, and/or extinguished.

NZXT Source 210 Elite Review(10 User Comments) »
Value & Conclusion
- The NZXT Source 210 sells for a mere 39.90 Euro, while the Elite variant with an extra fan and USB 3.0 goes for 49.90 Euro at Caseking.de.
- Pretty cool looks (subjective)
- Two fairly quiet fans included
- Internal USB 3.0 connector
- Choice of two colors: black or black & white
- Excellent black & white design throughout the entire chassis
- Screwless HDD locks hold suprisingly well
- ODD locks hold well
- Many openings for cable management
- Tall CPU coolers will fit
- No dust filters for intake fans
- No extra screws included - just the bare minimum
- Not many boards have the internal USB 3.0 connector yet
- Design may not be for everyone
- Simple packaging
Seems like NZXT has gotten their act together. First the Phantom, then the H2 and now the entry level Source. As is the scenario for all cases of this price class, looks is what matters and NZXT has managed to offer a good feature set for a 39.90 or 49.90 Euro chassis. Especially the Elite version with USB 3.0, two fans and the detailed black and white design choice is a great case not just as far as looks is concerned. The design of the front panel may not be for everyone, but those who like the somewhat abstract looking shape will not be disappointed by the case itself. The only two bigger gripes I have about the chassis - both no deal breakers - is the lack of screws and dust filters. Overall we can certainly recommend the chassis for those design conscious folk who are on a budget or rather spend their money on something else besides computer parts.

"I remember summer evenings, sitting you and I,
While the cranes were calling in the eastern sky.
Sometimes we don't love things, 'til we tell them goodbye.
Oh, my homeland, my homeland,
Sung by Andy Gale, as the curtain rose on each performance.
Twenty-five years ago, one of the greatest adventures of my life was drawing to a close: the Broadway musical Rags opened in New York on 21 August and closed, three days and four performances later. Many members of the company, sensing that the end was nigh, had begun already to think of the next project, putting into practice the time-honored "Another Op'nin', Another Show" philosophy, and for many the next show was Les Misérables. Victor Hugo's novel was a best-seller among our company, to the point that it was almost a joke. In the event, several members of the Rags family wound up in the show — but only this summer, a quarter-century later, have I begun to read the book.
I've written often here about Rags: how Bob Straus overcame his perfectly reasonable reservations to hire me as the lone production assistant on the $5.5 million musical; how the show's associate producer, Madeline Gilford, befriended me; how Joe Stein tirelessly revised the book he'd written but never really completed; how Marcia Lewis took me to dinner; how Jack Gilford sang "Give My Regards to Broadway" for me; how Larry Kert sang "Johanna" for me. For Opera News several years ago, I tried, in my most dispassionate style, to sum up the most passionate experience I've known. But ultimately Rags was an adventure too big to fit into a single account, or even to depict in a mosaic of short prose. Really, it's a book-length saga — Les Misérables on the Great White Way.
Idiotically, I didn't ask for any signatures,
and my own Playbill and poster are spotless.
If only one could find a reading public sufficiently interested in all the tragicomic, gorgeous, amorphous and messy details! But Rags was a flop, the most expensive in Broadway history at the time — and then, a short time later, Carrie lost even more money than Rags had, proving that our hapless band didn't even know how to flop right.
Why then am I still so fascinated by the show? I was and am in awe of the creative team: writer Joe Stein, composer Charles Strouse, and lyricist Stephen Schwartz; the directors, first Joan Micklin Silver, then Gene Saks; and above all, the star, Teresa Stratas, my longtime idol and muse, who brought me along for the ride. That so many talented people, once assembled, couldn't get their act together — literally — is fascinating to me.
She was photographed for her record album Stratas Sings Weill
while we were in Boston tryouts. I have worn that cap.
They spoke from the heart, each and every one of them, and somehow that wasn't enough. All of them came from immigrant families, some quite recently arrived. Teresa declared that her performance was an homage to her mother, who came from Crete and who, when times were tough, went hungry to keep her children fed in this "Brand New World." Stephen Schwartz got choked up until he could hardly sing for us a new lyric he'd written for "Children of the Wind," in which Rebecca imagines the future, with grandchildren running through her kitchen and never knowing the kind of suffering she endured. And so on. With one notable exception, you couldn't find a member of the company who didn't have some sort of profound personal connection to the subject matter.
And that lone exception was this writer, the last of whose family emigrated from Germany in the early 1830s. (Most of the rest got to America during the 17th and 18th centuries.) Ellis Island might as well have been the moon, for all my family knew about it. And thus the show was a means of exploring a culture that, from an early age, exerted a powerful hold over me — part of the process of my becoming "an honorary Jew," as Madeline later certified me.
Stephen Schwartz has written about my ancestors.
(Pippin and, more debatably, Godspell are the others.)
Broadway musicals have been an important influence, too, starting probably when I was a baby, and my mother used to dance me around the room while playing the original cast album of My Fair Lady. Since then, I'd devoted considerable study to the art form — most recently at my first job, at the Kurt Weill Foundation — and here was a chance to see one show as it was created. For example, in Rags I was able to observe what Kurt Weill had long ago seen, appreciated, and exploited: that Broadway performers are the most versatile on earth, for whom nothing is impossible. (Can you wonder that I'm so frustrated, then, when the average Broadway musical nowadays is so ordinary, so characterless and lacking in ambition?)
At the time, I kept thinking of an old Disney movie, Toby Tyler, in which a little boy (Kevin "Moochie" Corcoran) runs away and joins the circus. It's terribly exciting, but ultimately he's obliged to go home again: somehow I knew, almost from the start, that Rags would be my one and only Broadway-musical experience. Even before it became clear that only a miracle would save the show, my senses were heightened: I wasn't just learning (because everything was new to me), and I wasn't merely studying. I was savoring, recording, storing away the memories, to look back on, years later, as I do and have done.
"It looks like Franco Zeffirelli designed it," Teresa and I joked.
Maybe we should have taken that as an omen.
Ultimately it's people who made Rags so special for me — even though I see very few of the company anymore. Lonny Price tried to warn me that these relationships were fleeting. A few years earlier, I'd admired him in Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along, another legendary failure with a feisty, talented, close-knit cast. Though I could hardly believe it was possible, already the Merrily gang had moved on, Lonny told me: from time to time somebody would try to host a little reunion, but they never amounted to much, he said.
Lonny and I worked on three shows in 1986: Rags; a production of Room Service at the Roundabout (on which I worked a total of three nights as an assistant to the director, Alan Arkin); and a staged reading of two short plays that Lonny himself wrote and directed, pointing the way to his subsequent career. "You are my theatrical year," he said at the time. We were friends. But the years have built up a distance between us, and now I reintroduce myself when I see him, or (once or twice) I walk past him anonymously. There will never be another Lonny Price in my life, but there have been plenty of Bill Madisons — dozens of eager assistants in the wings and on the fringes — in his.
"What's it like, working with the Muppets?" I wanted to know. "It's like working with a piece of felt," he answered.
Lonny isn't a Toby Tyler; he has dedicated a great chunk of his life to musical theater. That was true for just about everybody in the company: even those who didn't stay much longer in show business had devoted years of training and study to acquire the skills necessary to a career. They are pros; I was a dilettante.
And yet what impressed me most about them was not their talent but their fortitude. As one hardship followed another, as directors came and went, and as rewrites piled up, and nothing, absolutely nothing made any material difference or improved the show and its chances of survival, they bonded together, very much like a family — very much like the sorts of families they portrayed and paid tribute to in each performance.
This isn't to say that the cast and crew went around being heroic all day long, or that tempers didn't sometimes get the better of us, or that we were consistently smiling and uncomplaining. But as a group, our company was ever brave and honorable, and true even when blue, until the virtues urged on by Kipling's "If" seemed easy and commonplace. I admired these people, but even more, I loved them.
The means of holding onto the memories are meager, really. I meant to keep a journal during the rehearsals and tryouts, and even at the time I knew I was making a mistake when I didn't record each day's events. I looked on enviously as Evalyn Baron carried her journal with her everywhere and meticulously noted each development. But I was never much of a journal-writer, certainly not so in those days, and thus my own impressions are lost or unverifiable.
There are hardly any production photographs, for example: we closed so suddenly. The father of Devon Michaels, one of the little boys in the show, took a few pictures, and so did a professional (I can't remember who — one of the usual suspects in New York theater, I think), but we dispersed before we could get the chance to purchase any for ourselves, and they are seldom if ever published. It took work to find the illustrations for my Opera News article. And while in this age of camera phones and digital everything, it may be hard to believe, it's true: I have not one single backstage photo, not one record of the kid I was and the friends I knew.
There's an original cast album, but Teresa declined to participate, and so it's Julia Migenes who sings the leading role. I'm told that she recorded her numbers in Los Angeles, and that only Terry Mann flew out to join her; this would explain in part the sense of disconnectedness I get when I listen to her: she's separated from the rest of the gang. But more than that, she hadn't lived with the show, as Teresa had, as the others had, and as I had.
At Tony time, in 1987, Judy Kuhn and Dick Latessa performed the title number, in the familiar costumes and something that suggested the set. But by then Les Misérables had taken hold of Judy's artistry, and a different music flowed in her bloodstream. Good as she is in the clip, she's offering just a distant echo of what she achieved during the run of Rags. I had hoped that Teresa might sing "Children of the Wind," one last time, but she didn't want even to attend the award ceremony. "I'll be your date," I said hopefully, but she was obdurate (in this, as in so many other matters).
In the Lincoln Center Library, there's a video recording of one complete performance of the show, made during the Saturday matinée. The tape concludes with Lonny's speech to the audience, asking them to join us in a march down Broadway to the TKTS booth — a protest demonstration of sorts, though what we were protesting wasn't entirely clear. (Bad luck, maybe.) Anyway, hundreds followed us, singing and chanting, and we wound up with excellent press and a sold-out final performance — too late to do us any good.
Because I knew the show so well, I was enlisted to "help" the director, and told him which cameras to use when, in order to catch the best shots and to preserve the best bits. It was hard work, made all the more difficult when the Hellinger's house electrician, a drunkard, decided I wasn't paying enough attention to him. Flirtatious at first and then violent, he had to be dragged away, and Madeline Gilford always referred (half-seriously) to this as the day she and her friend Betty Corwin, the Lincoln Center librarian, saved my life.
Several months after the show closed, most of the company gathered at Lincoln Center to watch that video. Most of us cried, at least a little, but not so much for the plight of Rebecca Hershkowitz as for our own, more immediate struggles and losses, and the broken hearts of Broadway that beat inside every one of us. It's as close to a full-on company reunion as we ever managed.
(His head is level with her bust. Not that anyone would be looking there.)
Too many of them are gone now; our company began to dwindle even as the curtain fell. The dancer Mark Fotopoulos was sick already, and knew it. Not long after Rags closed, we saw his picture in the newspaper, at a protest demonstration in Washington, carrying a sign: "Ten Years Living with AIDS — No Thanks to You, Mr. President." The last time I saw him, on a subway in New York, his skin was frighteningly discolored, but his smile and the gleam in his eyes remained unchanged. Now I go back and watch the locker-room number from Best Little Whorehouse to remember him as he was, and as I think he would want us to remember him.
Larry Kert is gone, too, and Ron Field, and Joel Tropper, and so many others. It seemed almost a relief whenever a member of our company died of something normal, like cancer, as Rex Everhart did.
And those of us who are still around are older, by far: Josh Blake and Devon Michaels must be grown men now, though in my mind's eye they'll always be little boys. Yet no matter what else we do in life, all of us will always be "Children of the Wind."
Now you know why she intimidated the hell out of me.
(She still does, too.)
Here are a few more things I remember:
- The morning sun glinting off Scott Frankel's rumpled hair as he sat at the piano in the rehearsal studio at 890 Broadway.
- Teresa's finding her high F — and singing the Queen of the Night for me alone — and the look on her face when she heard little Devon sing the same notes with terrifying ease.
- The intense physiological reaction I got when Teresa sang "Blame It on the Summer Night," making it necessary for me to conceal myself. (I think I used a broom. Nobody said anything.)
- Teresa, singing "Children of the Wind." Judy, singing "Rags." Marcia and Dick, singing "Three Sunny Rooms." Andy, singing "I Remember." Terry Mann, singing "Desperado" — during breaks, of course.
- The thrill whenever the whole company lifted its voice — in "Penny a Tune" for example, or the Kaddish — but especially when they sang "Happy Birthday" to me in Boston.
- Those days when Bob Straus' voice was the most beautiful sound in the room.
- Making an out-of-this-world experience seem more real by sharing it with friends: inviting Andy Weems to a rehearsal, and Melia Bensussen to opening night; enlisting Steve Biel to help with research; knowing that people like Sue Klawans were seeing the show, too, and regretting that my parents, who were passing through New York that August, assured me they'd see the show "some other time."
- Sneaking cigarettes when Teresa wasn't looking.
Teresa returned to the Met, where she enjoyed
some of her greatest successes.
Here, in her comeback, as Puccini's Suor Angelica.
- Peggy Eisenhauer's imitating her light-board conversations with Beni Montresor, our set and lighting designer: "More color." "What color? Amber? Red?" "Color. Over there." "Where? Downstage? Stage right?" "Over there. Make it … epic."
- The taste of the ramen noodles I lived on while we were in Boston. (Twenty-five cents a pack at the convenience store around the corner from the Shubert.)
- The soothing perfumed air of Evalyn's dressing room.
Scott Frankel went on to write the musical Grey Gardens.
Here, Christine Ebersole as Little Edie.
- Combatting the dry air in the rehearsal rooms at 890 with an uncooperative spray-pump bottle until my hands ached from spritzing. "I'm getting a callous for Stratas," I said.
- The way Lonny used to have fits whenever I used the word "Yankee" to describe anyone other than a baseball player. He couldn't believe I was from Texas. But then, neither could I, in those days.
- The voluptuous way John Aller used to lie on the floor in the green room, "resting" during breaks at 890. He was so beautiful, and he knew it, but we were all more interested in the actor Thomas Gibson, who was rehearsing Twelfth Night with Shakespeare in the Park, down the hall, and quite possibly the most stunning man in New York at the time.
- Taking Teresa to the doctor, after she missed opening night in Boston, and thinking she might really die, and that somehow it would be my fault.
- Paula Kalustian's homecoming, when she came backstage to the Hellinger, and I fell sobbing into her arms. It wasn't in her power to save the show, but at least when she was around I didn't feel quite so helpless.
- The wordless, aimless way Joan Micklin Silver used to wander out of the rehearsal room. "You've got to tell us where she's going," the stage managers told her assistant, who snapped at last in exasperation: "Do you think I know?"

Others of our company who wound up in Les Miz include Judy Kuhn, Joanna Glushak, Evalyn Baron, and Peter Samuel.
- The way the rats in the parking lot next to the Shubert used to get agitated during certain numbers, notably "Rags." I suggested that we rename the show after them — Rats. (A short time later, the animated movie An American Tail opened, with themes similar to ours, only with mice.)
- The way Gene Saks (a nice guy, actually, and a certifiable pro) "saved" the show in New York by cutting its heart out when he turned the ensemble into a chorus — and the way the audience sensed the difference and responded less warmly. We used to be scruffy and lovable, and then we were streamlined: it couldn't be the same.
- The late-night conversations with Scott, or with Paula, or with Lonny, or with Teresa, or with Madeline — with everybody — when we really thought we'd hit on the way to fix the show.
- The way Frank Rich began his radio commentary on WQXR, the day after we closed, with the remark, "It's a shame more people won't be able to see Rags." Gee, Frank, as theater critic of The New York Times, what might you have been able to do about that?
Marcia Lewis in Chicago, with Bebe Neuwirth.
(Many others of the Rags company have known triumph, too.
But these are the ones with good pictures.)
- How sad I felt for everyone else when it ended. The show had so much potential, and the company was so brilliant, they deserved a long-running hit — and many of them got one, later (Les Miz, Chicago, Hairspray, etc.) — but I knew it was time for me to leave, no matter whether the show closed.
- Only later did it occur to me that this was reason enough to feel a little sad for myself, as well as for everyone else.

It's been over a year since the last time Tom Hollingsworth took a look at Arista and Cisco and the titanic cage match they've been fighting. It's been three years since the announcement of the lawsuit and there's been enough back-and-forth to make this a Wimbledon tennis match. After three years, where does everything stand?
Create a VirtualBox Arista vEOS image from the command line
John Harrington of The Network Sherpa comments: I've wanted to check out Arista EOS for a while, but didn't have access to the hardware. I recently learned that Arista had made EOS available as a virtual machine. Arista call this vEOS. By installing the free VirtualBox hypervisor I could get vEOS running on my MacBook. […]

On September 16 & 17, Pushers Greg Ferro and Ethan Banks attended the GestaltIT.com Tech Field Day event in San Jose, California. This TFD bonus edition podcast is the first in a series of edited vendor presentations that PacketPushers.net will release over the next few weeks. It takes time to edit them, but we'll get the best stuff from TFD that we can out there for you.
Show 20 — Impromptu Crowdsourcing
After a busy week of forcing packets to do our nefarious bidding, we found ourselves up against a recording deadline while being less prepared than usual. To save us from ourselves, at the very last minute we invited Josh O'Brien and Jennifer Huber to pull up a mic and add their weighty thoughts to the networking issues of the day. Adding to the impromptu nature of this show, we did our first live solicitation of questions from the audience using the Twitterverse, getting instant feedback. All hail the Intertubes!

Greg has asked Doug Gourlay from Arista Networks to get his feet under the workbench and talk about Arista Networks. A reasonably new vendor to community, Arista have a unique approach to building Ethernet switches that are software driven for enhanced data centre management and better operation.
The Stack Wars Have Begun!
Just as public cloud computing is beginning to catch on, the enterprise data center world has been shaken up by the biggest IT product vendors. Rather than sit back and watch their wares commoditized, companies like Cisco, EMC, HP, and now HDS are stepping up to the plate with integrated "stacks" that include server, storage, networking, and management software. The next-layer players, VMware and Microsoft in particular, are joining hands, too, eager to support these stacks. To paraphrase the wise Jedi master, Yoda, "cloudy, the future is." So, the stack wars have begun!

text: As I mentioned yesterday this weekend inspired me like crazy to a point that I had way to much boiling inside of me to sleep for more than 3 hours after getting home at 9:30 am. I was feeling not a care in the world; confidence radiating and passion flaming. Like I was standing on top of the world and no one could ever reach high enough to try and bring me down. So upon waking up I quickly threw on this outfit that I got from a look book I shot the weekend before for Miami Style Mafia's new boutique (photos soon) that has been making me feel sexier and more confident than ever. I was extremely influenced by my experience on Go Skate Day and thus chose this location for that reason. The urban setting, railings, stark contrast and linear composition all reminded me of what I had seen. Though I'm obviously not looking grungy or beat up like skateboarders do it was that "I don't give a fuck" attitude that I had in mind. It's a new walk of life for me that is incredibly intriguing and something I hope to get to spend more time around. For now I will at least have my memories that will continue to be expressed through my art and style in my own Ashley kind of way.

Should you find a lower price elsewhere, please submit a claim within 24 hours of your original booking and we will respond within two working days. Please note, this also applies to discounts and promotions available on Corinthia.com.
Process for making a claim:
Step 1. If within 24 hours of a confirmed reservation with Corinthia Hotels made on Corinthia.com, you find a lower rate for the same hotel, room type, inclusions, stay dates, discounts and payment conditions, please contact the relevant email address from the list below to make your claim. All claims must be made within 24 hours of the original booking and at least 24 hours prior to the standard check-in time of the hotel.
Step 2. Your claim should be supported by the URL where the lower rate was found and a screen shot which clearly displays the date of stay, room type, same hotel, inclusions and payment conditions of the lower rate offering on the competing website. Please include your contact information (name, email and phone number).
Step 3. If we are able to verify that the lower rate found qualifies for the Best Rate Guarantee, and all other terms and conditions are met, Corinthia Hotels will pay for 100% of the room charges of your first night, and will price match the room for the rest of your stay. You will be charged for all nights booked at the matched rate, minus the first night which will be free.
To make your claim, email the relevant hotel on one of the following:
First nightfree, match rate for rest of stay, no minimum nights
Terms and Conditions:
Corinthia Hotels guarantees the best online rate on corinthia.com based on the following terms and conditions:
1. Your original booking must have been made through corinthia.com.
2. The lower rate must be found and the claim submitted by email within 24 hours of the original booking and at least 24 hours prior to the standard check-in time at the hotel. If the original booking was made within 24 hours of arrival, the Best Rate Guarantee is not applicable.
3. The Best Rate Guarantee only applies to published rates available to the general public online, which can be found and booked immediately without any kind of restriction or payment restrictions.
4. The lower rate found must be for exactly the same booking criteria - the same hotel, the same room type, same inclusions, the same stay dates, same number of guests, the same rate description and, if applicable, the same promotion. The cancellation and advance purchase policy and all other terms and conditions of the stay must also be identical. If the claim refers to a reservation consisting of several nights' accommodation, the average rate for each night will be compared to the average rate for each night, for an identical reservation, using the website where the lower rate is found.
5. Corinthia Hotels will verify the lower rate claim and respond within two working days of the claim being made. *Claims will be processed from Monday to Friday, between 9am to 5pm, at the hotel's local time.
6. The rate comparison will be made net of any taxes, gratuities or any other fees or charges associated with the room rate, and the lower rate must still be available at the time the hotel validates the claim.
7. The Best Rate Guarantee is void where prohibited by law. Corinthia Hotels reserves the right to modify or cancel its Best Rate Guarantee policy at any time in its sole discretion and without prior notice.
8. Corinthia Hotels has the sole right and discretion to determine the validity of any claim, including without limitation, determining that the lower rate found is genuinely available and that the claim meets all terms and conditions. In case of dispute, Corinthia Hotels' decision is final.
9. In the case of a fully prepaid rate booked through corinthia.com, Corinthia Hotels will refund the difference to your credit card, if applicable, within 30 business days of submitting your claim. Corinthia Hotels is not responsible for any fees associated with cancelling a reservation made through a different channel.
10. Best Rate Guarantee will be suspended during times where corinthia.com or certain rates are not available due to an outage, a technical issue or a circumstance beyond Corinthia Hotels' reasonable control.
11. The Best Rate Guarantee does not apply to rates found offline, negotiated corporate rates, group or MICE rates, opaque provider rates or rates requiring membership in a club or other organization, governmental rates, direct mail or email solicitations, rates offered by providers that do not supply the name or location of the hotel until after a reservation has been made or other rates that are not available to the general public. We reserve the right to deny a claim if the availability of the Competing Rate cannot be independently verified at the time of processing the claim.
12. The Best Rate Guarantee does not apply to packaged rates. Packaged rates include Hotel accommodations sold as part of a travel package in which the Hotel does not provide all services (including but not limited to airfare and/or car rental, tours etc.) and Hotel accommodations sold with additional amenities.
13. Corinthia Hotels may deny a claim where the difference between the rates is less than 1%.
14. If the Competing Rate is in a different currency from the rate booked on corinthia.com, the Competing Rate will be converted into the same currency as the rate offered on our website using the exchange rate as published in www.xe.com in place at the time the initial reservation was made. Discrepancies may occur between Corinthia Hotels' rate and the Competing Rate due to differences in exchange rate sources. If the rate discrepancy is solely due to exchange rate fluctuations, we reserve the right to deny the claim.
Borough Market's best traders take us on a tour of the foodie haven
Borough Market is a foodie institution with worldwide fame. Better than your average market, it's the ultimate place to sample British and international produce when in London. From British charcuterie at Cannon & Cannon and English cheese at Bath Soft Cheese Co, to fine truffles at Tartufaia and fresh French-style breads at Olivier's Bakery, there's so much to sample. And who better to take you on a tour than the traders themselves? Here, we speak to some of our favourite stall owners about what makes their produce so special and the must-try foods that every visitor should sample.
Cannon & Cannon is at the forefront of the British charcuterie industry. Famed for its creative, British cured meats, it's stocked full of produce that will make you rethink the next time you go to pick up a pack of sausages. Market Manager Nikoline Nielsen take us on a tour of the stall.
What do you sell at Cannon & Cannon?
At Cannon & Cannon we sell British cured meats and artisan products made by small farmers all around Britain, including sustainable meats, rare breeds, heritage breeds and proper English meat. We've got around 12 different producers on the stall, sourced from everywhere from Inverness to Sussex and Wales.
What's so great about British cured meat?
The good thing with Cannon & Cannon and British cured meat is that there are no rules. We don't have any legislation like you do in Italy. We've got the saucissons that you go out and buy, but we give a little bit more of a twist to it. The creators are very inventive.
Any recommendations to sample?
Seaweed and cider from Cornwall or duck and Sichuan pepper from Trady Farm – I think these would be my go to if you want to look for something a little bit different. Or if you want to try something traditionally British, we do a venison chorizo.
Trading: Monday to Saturday
If you're a connoisseur of truffles (the mushrooms, not the chocolates), make a beeline for Tartufaia. The stall imports truffles from around the world, which it sells alongside truffle-based products such as olive oil, butter and honey. Assistant Manager Stefania Sautto has the low-down.
Truffles are trendy in the culinary industry right now. Have you noticed people have become more interested?
Yes. People are approaching truffles differently now. It seems like they're responding well to it and really like to use it in their food. They're getting quite famous as well.
What do you sell at the stall?
We specialise in white mushrooms and truffles, which is unique in Borough Market. We've got different species of truffles from all over the world. At the moment, we've got Spanish and Italian. We even have Australian truffles when they're in season. The boss is a cook so he also makes foie gras and liver paté with black truffle. One of the best sellers is our white truffle honey, which I think is very special.
What should visitors sample?
The first thing we always invite them to do is smell the truffles (on display at the front of the stall). We always recommend the fresh truffles when they're in season because that's the best way to approach the truffle. If they're travelling and can't take fresh truffles home, we suggest the truffles with sea salt – a natural preservative that makes the truffles last a bit longer.
Trading: Wednesday to Saturday
Olivier's Bakery is a carb-lover's paradise. Offering freshly-baked bread, tasty cakes and French pastries – the stall offers the ultimate flour-based indulgences. Sophie Bertucat, stall manager and sister of baker Olivier Favrel, shows us around.
What makes Olivier's Bakery unique?
Everything is made fresh daily and we use only organic English flour. We've got many different breads and pastries, but everything is made in a French way, so with mustard, chocolate, and so on. I think that's what makes us different.
Tell us about Olivier
Olivier is my brother. He's always loved baking because he bakes with his heart. He's always trying to make it the best of what he can. It's his life. He really loves to play with the dough and creates so many different things.
What do you recommend people try when they come to your stall for the first time?
The brownie, which is made with 70% Belgian dark chocolate. It's very intense. And our almond croissants – they're the best. They're very moist, very tasty and very French. But I love everything on the stall. Everything is so good it's difficult to tell them what to try!
Trading: Wednesday to Saturday
When it comes to cheese, go local at Bath Soft Cheese Co. The stall's award-winning organic cheese is made at Park Farm, outside the city of Bath, using milk from its own herd of cows. Stall Manager Will Nash tells us what to sample.
What makes Bath Soft Cheese Co stand out from other cheese stalls in Borough Market?
We have our own farm and our own dairy. This is a family business, run by four generations. The first cheese they started making was the Bath Soft Cheese. They discovered a recipe in an old grocery in Bath, dated 1790, so it's one of the oldest recipes of English soft cheese there is.
Do you have any personal favourites?
It's seasonal for me because cheese changes from batch to batch, as all organic cheese should. If it's colder, people tend to go for blue cheeses and stronger flavours because it's too cold to taste anything else and it warms you up a bit, in the summer you may go for more a soft cheese you can picnic with and spread over bread. The farm cheese is a staple as it's available all year round and is great for cooking with. I probably eat the most of that.
Any insider tips?
We've just started working with an Italian chef, Tom, who makes fresh mozzarella and burrata at the stall literally right in front of people, so people can now try British and Italian cheeses in one visit.
Trading: Tuesday to Saturday

Eaten alive - by abusive mortgage 'set up' costs (+Start your claim)
- by Legal editorial team
Hits: 724
You could be forgiven for thinking that you would have been safer going into a crocadile pit than to your bank to borrow money!
In December 2015, the Spanish Supreme Court ruled that mortgage clauses introduced by Banco Popular and BBVA that forced borrowers to pay all of the fees surrounded or related to taking out the mortgage were abusive.
The Court ruled that the banks should pay for all - or at least part - of these mortgage opening expenses, because making a formal record of the mortgage deed is for the benefit of the bank, not the borrower.
Since then various First Instance and Provincial Appeal Courts have issued Sentences in favour of mortgage borrowers.
The Supreme Court Sentence 705/2015 dated 23 December 2015 declared abusive the following clause through which BBVA imposed on the borrower all of the expenses, taxes and commissions associated with the mortgage loan:
That clause typically read: "Borrower must pay all taxes, commissions and expenses incurred in the preparation, formalisation, correction, writing, modification – including division, segregation or any change that implies alteration of the guarantee – and execution of this contract, and for the payments and reimbursements derived there from, as well as for the constitution, maintenance and cancellation of its guarantee, being also in its charge the premiums and other expenses corresponding to the insurance of damages, that the borrowing party is obliged to have in force"
The 'nullity' declared by the Supreme Court is based on the lack of detail in the loan agreement, with regards to expenses, commissions and taxes that are being imposed by this clause in such a generic manner.
If YOU have paid all of the fees surrounding and related to taking out your Spanish Mortgage then you are likely to be entitled to a refund of some of those fees.
What are the expenses, taxes and commissions can be reclaimed ?* Notary cost * Mortgage Land Registry costs * Registration costs (Gestoría) expenses (the company that ensures the property and the mortgage are correctly registered in the land registry – but only if the gestoría was imposed by the bank) * Property Valuation costs * Commissions on lack of payments * Mortgage cancellation costs and commissions * Any judicial or extrajudicial cost which has been charged automatically to the consumer, not following the perceptive rules of the Civil Procedure Act.
Mortgage set up fees normally represent between 2.5% and 3% of the mortgage value.
A question that is not fully settled is whether it it possible to claim a refund of Stamp Duty?
Some Judges are ordering a refund of notary, mortgage land registry and gestoría fees, but not the Stamp Duty (AJD or Documented Legal Acts Tax), which represents around 75% of the associated expenses of taking out a new mortgage.
Some claimants have claimed a refund of the Stamp Duty, with differing results.
Rulings issued by the Supreme Court and the Provincial Appeal Court of Zaragoza say it is the Bank that must pay the cost of Stamp Duty.
However, the Provincial Appeal Courts of Oviedo & Pontevedra have issued Sentences stating that the Stamp Duty should be paid by the consumer.
There is no refund for Property conveyancing costs and Property Conveyance Tax which must always be paid by the home buyer.
There is a deadline for claiming these costs and expenses - which ends 5 years from the Supreme Court ruling of 23 December 2015 (i.e. 22.12.2020).
It is worth knowing that some banks have now changed their clauses relating to mortgage opening fees.
BBVA, Santander, Bankia, CaixaBank, Sabadell & Ibercaja have all changed their clauses relating to mortgage opening fees.
By doing this they hope to avoid future claims on new mortgages.
However, this does not prevent consumers claiming refunds for mortgages signed in the past with these banks.
It will take some time to see how big the retro

active claims for registration costs can be but it has the potential to be even bigger than the floor clause issue, because it is likely to involve every client who has taken out a mortgage.
This includes British Isles (UK, Ireland) owners too - but of course most aren't aware of the issue and that they may well benefit from looking into this aspect of their mortgage.

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Bhubaneswar, Nov 5:
A team of National Investigation Agency (NIA) will soon visit Odisha to work with the Commissionerate Police in investigating Mohammed Rubel, who was recently arrested from Bhubaneswar for trying to use counterfeit notes.
Commissionerate Police yesterday took Rubel on three day remand to interrogate him further after evidence surfaced that the connection of fake currency racket in Odisha extends to Bangladesh. Besides, NIA might take him on another remand to question him separately.
Rubel had long been under the scanner of NIA and had shifted base to Odisha from West Bengal's Malda to avoid the agency.
"NIA had arrested a man named Shahjahan from West Bengal's Malda in May this year and had seized fake currencies worth Rs 20 lakh from him. Rubel is one of the close aides of Shahjahan who circulates the fake currencies in the market. He came over to Odisha following Shahjahan's arrest," said a senior police officer who is part of the Commissionerate Police investigating team.
"Commissionerate Police is now interrogating him to figure out the roots of this racket and the routes through which the counterfeit notes are brought to Odisha. Besides, involvement of other people is another important angle of investigation," he added.
As per information provided by Police Commissioner Rajendra Prasad Sharma, city cops have managed to unearth highly significant information from him and are trying to validate them on their own. The cops might visit Malda for further investigation, if required.
It may be noted that Commissionerate Police on October 31 had detained Rubel for transacting counterfeit currencies at a mobile phone store in Bomikhal area of Bhubaneswar. While he gave 10 notes of Rs 1000 denomination to the shopkeeper, the latter suspected it to be fake and informed the Sahid Nagar police.
Based on the complaints, the police swung into action and picked up the 30-year-old man. Later, six more counterfeit notes were recovered from him.

text: Share: Comments Print April 17, 2014 at 1:26 PM Jordan Adams stays, Byron Wesley leaves Posted by Percy Allen The revolving door in the Pac-12 continues to spin. At UCLA, the Bruins announced sophomore guard Jordan Adams will return next season while USC will lose junior guard Byron Wesley who is transferring. In a statement released by UCLA, Adams said: "I've had so much fun playing here at UCLA, and I'm really excited about the team we're going to have next year. Once the season ended, my family and I began carefully weighing all of my options. In the end, staying at UCLA for my junior year is a win-win situation. I'm glad that I went through the process, received constructive feedback and had time to reflect on what I truly want. I love being a Bruin. I'm looking forward to getting back in the gym and the weight room to get better, and I can't wait for next season." Adams and junior guard Normal Powell requested a formal draft evaluation from the NBA. Powell hasn't announced his decision. UCLA lost Kyle Anderson and Zach LaVine to the NBA draft. Adams' return is good news for the Bruins. The 6-5 guard led UCLA with a 17.4 scoring average last season and was voted first team all-Pac-12. Meanwhile, Wesley, a three-year starter, is transferring and should be eligible to play next season because he's graduating from USC. The 6-5 guard averaged 17.8 points and 6.4 rebounds last season.

Quick removal of manure out of the stable: by good grids and frequent indulgences
At the end of 2012 and early 2013 there has been a study at SIC Sterksel to frequent indulgences of manure out of manure trays by under pressure. After a few modifications there is now a system available to apply in practice.
The goal of this study was to develop a new sort of system for finishing pigs with daily indulgences of manure out of manure trays by under pressure. With this system the climate becomes more fresh and ammonia and odour emissions get reduced.
With the system also fresh manure becomes available, which gives a high biogas yield.

England ended day two of their second Test meeting with South Africa all out for 205 runs in their first innings, leaving them on the brink of defeat.
The hosts lost their final seven wickets for just 62 runs, meaning that Joe Root's 78 at Trent Bridge will likely count for little in the grand scheme of things.
Root's departure to Vernon Philander, ending a solid stand of 83 with Gary Ballance (27), saw England collapse from 143-4 to 205-10 come the end of play in Nottingham.
Chris Morris and Keshav Maharaj took three wickets apiece, while Philander ended on 2-48.
South Africa, who trail the four-match series 1-0, closed on 75-1 when brought in for their second innings, giving them an overnight lead of 205 - Dean Elgar (38) and Hashim Amla (23) adding 57 after Heino Kuhn was caught for eight runs.body check tags ::

Christopher Eccleston appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross this evening, and below are some stills from the show as well as from the rather lengthy spoiler-iffic trailer they showed! Says our correspondent Mike Morris:
Christopher Eccleston appeared tonight (March 25th) as a guest of Jonathan Ross; a well known chat show host in the UK and probably elsewhere, who is also well known for having difficulting pronouncing his R's. After the initial chat about Christopher's memories of the original series, his costume, and about playing the Doctor with a Northern English, Manchester accent. A montage clip of the new and not so new monsters was shown. I can report with pride, that the effects are stunning and the monsters far scarier than in the original series. Also this time (if you don't know already) the action is mainly on film rather than studio based, which gives it a more realistic edgy effect. After the montage clip, it was also revealed for the first time that a new range of merchandise will be hitting UK shops this Christmas. A prototype doll in the image of Christopher Ecclestone's 9th Doctor and a replica of the updated Sonic Screwdriver, which Christopher said 'seemed better than the real thing'. (When one presses a button, a blue light flashes and pressing another button makes the light retract into the handle of the Sonic Screwdriver). Christopher also reveals that the script in Episode one makes reference to his large Ears! He explained to Jonathan and the audience, 'its that moment when each of the Doctors after a regeneration sees themselves or himself for the first time and comments on his appearance'.

Most of us who come alive when seeing good artwork, especially when making it ourselves, appreciate unique styles, genuine statements that are consistent throughout an artist's body of work. Writers might refer to this consistency as style, or maybe voice. For musicians, the term might be sound. You recognize guitarist, Larry Carlton's, playing because he has a unique sound. Photographers use the term vision to describe a quality of their work that defines each photographer.
Still, I've found it a bit vexing to try to settle on a description of the concept that's clear and definite. Former Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart expressed the challenge as he sought to define the term, obscenity. Maybe I can't define it absolutely, Stewart said, but I know it when I see it. (Not sure that's a direct quotation, but it captures the judge's intention.)
Vision is more than the most effective or efficient way of seeing. It includes effective composition, but beyond that, it's something unique to each photographer. Vision can't be taught or transferred from one person to another. It's discovered, and then developed and refined.
Our vision encapsulates what or maybe how we respond subject matter. It necessarily includes the subject matter that most resonates with us as individuals. It determines what we perceive to be of value in a photograph, what we understand to be worth showing.
Our ability to recognize and develop our vision is what will enable us to be successful in our art making. And in turn, understanding or recognizing vision in an artist's work can allow us or enable us to respect his work, even if the work isn't consistent with our personal tastes and aesthetics.
The greatest photographers, the icons, were people who recognized and cultivated extraordinary vision. They include people such as Dorothea Lange, Julia Margaret Cameron, Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, Harry Callahan, Arnold Newman, Irving Penn, and many others. Charles Cramer, Cole Thompson and Chuck Kimmerle are artists who are currently working who have extraordinary vision.
Vision is the thing that as photographers we must be true to. Or loyal to. Or faithful or consistent. And it's tough because we don't always know how the next twist or turn in our creative development will unfold. And sometimes we grow by taking steps that don't work out so we can learn from the experience, take a step back and try again. But while I believe the preceding sentence to be true, it's also the case that our work might develop in ways that aren't popular with our audience. Bob Dylan has been booed off the stage more than once in his career. But playing electric guitar wasn't a "wrong" direction for him, even if his audience didn't appreciate it at first. Or at all! So we need to be patient with the process as it unfolds. And we need to trust that if we're as honest and faithful to our work as we have the strength to be, our efforts will be validated in the end.

A short video of the operation and making of my lithographic automaton, The Four Humors. Information and photographs of this piece are available HERE.
Small Works Show, New Automata
I will have a new paper doll automata called The Four Humors in the Small Works show, opening this Friday, November 4th, at Artisan Gallery. The reception is from 5-9 and the show runs until December 31, 2013.
From the gallery website:
The front gallery will feature a show of wide ranging art created by gallery artists working in all media. This annual show has become one of our most popular as an opportunity to acquire work on a smaller scale by some of the gallery's most popular artists.
I made this piece intensely, and was neglectful in taking many process photos, but below is a photo of the testing of the hand-fabricated Geneva mechanism that works the piece. More photos on the making of the mechanism can be found HERE.

Karel Bílek and Nguyên Nhu Quyên have decided to finally say "yes" to each other.
The wedding celebration will happen on Sunday, 24. 11. 2019 in Sai Gon (or Ho Chi Minh city), Viet Nam.
It will be our great honor to host you, if you can join us and attend our wedding. If you wish to attend, please fill in the form at the end of the page.
About us
Quyên and Karel met each other while they were both traveling at Taiwan.
Quyên then invited Karel to visit her home, Vietnam. Karel visited some time later, and became fascinated with the country.
Karel later invited Quyên to his country, Czech Republic. She visited him there, and was surprised about the huge Vietnamese community there.
Then they felt in love.
In summer 2018, Karel decided to move to Saigon to be closer to her, and proposed in early 2019.
And 24 November 2019, they will start a new life there. :)
First part of the wedding is the ceremony. This will happen at Quyên's house, at District 12, in Saigon. The address will be provided later (map is approximate). Transport will be provided from your hotels.
Karel's family and friends will follow the traditional Vietnamese wedding customs, as described a little below. (The pictures on the right are just illustrative, not our house.)
Karel's family and friends will bring gifts to the house, as seen in the first picture.
Then a representative of Karel's family (father) will ask Quyen's family representative (uncle) for a marriage approval. Then, the two families together ask Quyen's ancestors for blessings, as seen in the second picture.
This part will be in the morning (9 am), and lasts about 2 hours, with many many speeches. You can see the ceremony in a video on the right.
After the ceremony, we will have a lunch with family and friends.
Second part is a reception (party).
The wedding reception will take place at Toki Saigon Resort (Google Maps). This resort has sleeping places. So, if you wish, you can sleep at the resort for no charge, for three nights (the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding, night after).
After coming to reception, you can take a picture with us. After taking picture, you will be seated and enjoy the food, enjoy drinks, and listen to music.
Vietnamese wedding parties usually end sooner than European weddings, so most Vietnamese people will leave before 10 pm; however, our reception will be at the same place with the hotel that you can stay in, so it might take longer.
We will probably have some karaoke songs in the evening, in all languages.
Get here
To get here, you need two things. Visa and tickets.
For visa, you need to apply online. There are two types of visa - one is "visa-on-arrival", that is more complicated and is necessary only if you stay here for longer, than 1 month, and if you plan to enter border multiple times.
The other, easier way is to apply for "online visa". You need to apply here, and pay the fee by card . It's fast, takes a week, at maximum about a month. Don't just google "vietnam visa", most of it are agencies, follow the link. The visa is valid only for 1 month, single entry.
From Czech Republic, I recommend Emirates, Qatar or Turkish Airlines. Emirates through Dubai, Qatar through Doha, Turkish through Istanbul. We can't afford to pay tickets for everyone.
Sai gon
Saigon is a modern city, and the traffic can get very busy. Streets are filled with motorbikes.
It's very hot here - every day over 30, throughout the year. Expect a temperature shock.
The many shops and cafés and construction work everywhere are a great sight, however, it isn't for everyone. There are some "conventional" tourists sightseeing places in the center, and some of the communist propaganda can remind people of our past. One can just go see the city and absorb the craziness and never-ending busy atmosphere, which one cannot see in Europe.
Saigon has a busy nightlife and you can hear Karaoke every night, everywhere.
We are sorry that we cannot afford to pay hotels for everyone beyond the three nights at the resort. There are thousands of hotels everywhere, with all kind of price and service, and we will happily show you some close to our place, or to the city center. However, bear in mind District 12, where both the ceremony and the reception happens, is quite away from the historical city center. (About 1 hour by taxi/bike. Saigon has no working public transport.)
We will provide sleeping at the wedding ceremony place (see above) for the two nights.
The wedding happens at Sunday, 24 November and takes whole day, from morning to evening. It is at District 12, Saigon, An Phú Đông area. Provided nights at the resort are night 23-24, 24-25, 25-26 November. You need an online visa, which costs 25 USD, and an airplane ticket here (and back).
When you have time, please confirm your name at this form .
And if you have more time, please also fill in fill in this second form, where we ask for how long you want to stay or which places you want to visit, so we can make people happier and maybe organize some group traveling around Vietnam.
