The Clairon Hotel sits along Reynolds Road near the old Southwyck mall site. Mayor D. Michael Collins (I) wants to knock it down because he believes it will inspire more development in the corridor that many consider the keystone to Toledo's economy.
The hotel's spot is prime real estate but it is not in prime condition.
Windows are broken, boards are up and it's stripped of anything valuable.
Tearing down the Clarion Hotel in South Toledo could be a call to developers to move on Southwyck property.
Mayor Collins told 13abc's Bill Hormann, "Blight creates the unattractiveness that prohibits development."
Collins says destroying the blight this hotel represents will encourage a new *Home Garden* store to invest $3-million and move into the former k-mart space just behind the hotel.
The State of Ohio controls the deed and would sign ownership over to Toledo. The city would then use about $800,000 in grant money to tear down the building.
"Our goal is to take it down and have no (Toledo) money spent," Collins says.
The ultimate goal is to revitalize the Reynolds Road corridor.
There are signs of life; The True-North gas station has made upgrades and the BP station at Heatherdowns and Reynolds is about to be rebuilt.
The McDonald's made renovations, the Maumee Valley Country Day school is building a new dorm…
And the Genesis Senior Village converted an old hotel into apartments.
Councilman Rob Ludeman (R) who lives in this South Toledo district says the Clarion could be key to redevelopment at the old Southwyck Mall site just two blocks away.
"Clarion down, K-Mart turns into a thriving new entity, it's moving toward Southwyck and that'll signal new development and new responsible people to buy that property," Ludeman contends.
And Southwyck is the ultimate target.
Getting rid of blight and encouraging investment along Reynolds Road, could make Southwyck more attractive.
But Mayor Collins is being coy about talks to get this site developed, only saying, "There are discussion on the future of Southwyck and they have been on-going for the last few weeks."
A source tells 13abc two developers may be interested in the Southwyck site.
Taking down the Clairon Hotel would create 5-acres of buildable land worth about $200,000.
City Council votes next Tuesday on whether to take the property from the state.
Mayor Collins says this area is more important than the Marina District, and right now, it has more activity.

Getty Images Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall was honest in his evaluation of rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III with the media. He says that RG3 is the worst quarterback in the NFC East, until he proves himself. "He's probably right now, the worst quarterback in our division. He hasn't taken a snap," Hall said via the Washington Post. "He has that title until he takes a snap and goes out and proves he's something." Hall says that they have to focus on dealing with the teams within their division first. "It starts in our division, man. We ain't looking at nobody else. Our division is so tough," Hall said. "Great quarterbacks. … We have to prove we can get past our division first. We get past our division and we make the playoffs, and the last couple years, we haven't been able to do that. That's why we haven't been in the playoffs."

Technology developed by Biodesign Institute and Columbia University will be used alongside DNA transistor platform developed by IBM.[Andrzej - Fotolia.com]
Roche negotiated a license to nanopore-based DNA base sensing and reading technologies from the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University and the Columbia University Nanoscience Center. The firm claims that these new technologies could help take the cost of sequencing a whole human genome down to well under $1,000.
The technologies will be used by Roche's sequencing center and collaborators 454 Life Sciences and IBM to develop and commercialize a single-molecule nanopore DNA sequencer. The deal was brokered by Arizona State University's technology transfer arm, Arizona Technology Enterprises, and includes sponsored research funding to help the academic researchers progress development of the technology toward commercialization.
"We believe that the DNA reading technologies from the Biodesign Institute are the most advanced available and will play an important role in our nanopore sequencing system," says Thomas Schinecker, president of Roche's 454 Life Sciences. "This will complement the DNA Transistor technology from our previously announced collaboration with IBM very well to form the core of a superior platform for extremely fast, very low-cost genome sequencing."
IBM's DNA Transistor technology is designed to control and slow the movement of DNA as it passes through the nanopore in a silicone strip. The DNA reading technology licensed from the Biodesign Institute and Columbia University will be used to decode the bases as the molecule passes through. Both technologies exploit semiconductor-based nanopores, which Roche says have advantages over protein-based nanoproes in terms of control, robustness, scalability, and production.

Portlandia Foods launched it's first product, organic ketchup, in March 2011, and already their bottles have catapulted across the Portland food cart scene to the Seattle and Eugene markets, all the way south to Roseburg. Just recently, McMenamins agreed to carry the Portland Ketchup in their iconic Northwest restaurants. Portlandia Foods co-founders Michael Deal and Jeff Bergadine appear to be poised for strong growth in the coming years.
FAB OREGON did some ketch-in-up with co-owner Jeff Bergadine to learn a little more about the burgeoning start-up and why they choose to manufacture *right* here in Oregon.
Fab: Why ketchup?
Jeff: We've been in the food service business for 15 years, and thought ketchup would be a simple product to make better than the traditional brands. Ketchup is just the beginning, and we are coming out with yellow mustard, relish, aeoli mayonnaise, and specialty products like hot & spicy ketchup next. All our products are organic, and our ketchup is healthier because is contains half the salt and half the sugar of traditional brands.
FAB: Why make it in Oregon, as opposed to overseas where labor costs are less, etc.?
Jeff: It's always a challenge to figure out how to make a product in a cost-effective way and make money, but it never even occurred to us to make it somewhere else. I've been here for 15 years now, originally from Bellingham, and this is home. It's about local impact and local spirit.
FAB: How many bottles do you make each year?
Jeff: We've only been bottling since March, and we're bottling about 3000 per month right now. Our ketchups will soon be found in McMenamins, OMSI, Oregon Episcopal Schools.
FAB: How many employees?
Jeff: It's only the two of us right now, and we use a local co-packer.
FAB: You've already answered some of the question 'How is your ketchup different than Heinz', so are there any other differences we should know about?
Jeff: Yes, if you look at our labels, they are branded locally with iconic Oregon images. We think this makes our bottles more interesting. We also offer co-branding. For example, we worked with Kells Irish Pub in downtown Portland to create a unique label all their own. We want to create symmetry between the food establishment, ourselves, and the consumers.
FAB: What's the biggest obstacle to manufacturing in Oregon?
Jeff: For us, Oregon's tomato growing season is really short, so we have to source some of the paste from Northern California. Additionally, not all the spices are practical to grow in Oregon. Packaging is also a challenge. The 3-gallon bags for hot filling are specialized, and can't be found in Oregon yet, nor the expensive spigots which we have to look to Illinois for.
FAB: Portlandia….
Jeff: We picked our name before [the show]. We actually came up with it 6 years ago, and there's actually a lot of companies with the Portlandia name in there somewhere. No, we aren't trying to mock ourselves or anything, but we're happy to ride the wave.
FAB: What are your 5 favorite Oregon Made products?
Jeff: Dulcet Cuisine; Thai & True makes a really good chile sauce; Moonstruck Chocolates; Upright Brewing here in Portland; and Carlton Farms meats.
So where can we find Portland's own ketchup? Portlandia Foods has given us a handy location map at http://www.portlandiafoods.com/locations.html. To find out more, visit:

I just began using Spotify. Can I download music to my MP3 player directly or do I have to get it to Window Media Player? If I need to get music to WMP, how do I do that? Thanks

Dear dugchevy,
Spotify is not designed to download Music in MP3 or WMP Format. What you can do is activate the "Offline Mode". This will download the songs in a proprietary format which you can play back with your Smartphone, PC/Mac or iPod Touch using the Spotify Application. You can however not extract songs into other formats.

Hey :)
stoney is right on the ball here.
Spotify relies on a a "closed system" in order to ensure artists are fairly paid for track plays. This means that a Spotify premium subscription only gives you access to Spotify's massive catalgoue, and the ability to download and play tracks offline inside the Spotify applications, not the ability to download tracks as mp3's.
This does mean, that you can only listen to Spotify content on devices which have a supported Spotify application, such as iOS, android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7/8 and Symbian (also on the desktop!). If you wish to download tracks as mp3 files to transfer to windows media player or to a generic mp3 player then you will need to purchase those tracks from another source.

what kind of format is Spotify, mp3 or something else ?

Hey! Welcome to the community :)
It is not possible to listen Spotify catalogue content to any device which does not support the Spotify application. With that in mind, you won't be able to transfer Spotify content onto your iPod shuffle. There is more information about this limitation in this post.

my Spotify says that it is compatible with Ipod, Iphone and Android products.
does that not mean that my 2 GB Ipod shuffle is also compatible since it is a Ipod product ?

Spotify is compatible with iPod nanos, shuffles, classics and minis but it will only allow you to sync local files which you already own to those devices, not any content from the Spotify service. If you want the full Spotify experience, it needs to be an iPod Touch I'm afraid.
If this post was helpful, please add kudos below!
then I have been ripped off by the Ipod products and Spotify too, because Spotify does not warn it's consumers before hand when they are still brand new "I became a free member when spotify started it's 1st day" and the same applies to All Ipod products too
I will now quote Spotify....
"Find all your favorite songs and more, Share with all your friends, Listen wherever you are, on whatever you have."
Hi drako83!
I'm sorry to hear you feel this way about Spotify and iPod, we certainly don't want anyone feeling ripped off.
As Peter mentioned, it's still possible to use Spotify on your iPod but only for the syncing of local files.
You can find info on how to sync these here.

Planetary Society Petitions President To Save Space Science
Mat Kaplan
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Planetary Society delivered a petition on Friday, January 19, 2007, with more than 5,000 signatures to the White House calling on President Bush to restore funding for space science and exploration in his 2008 budget proposal to the U.S. Congress.
"Space science and exploration are inseparable," stated Louis Friedman. "The Administration is cutting missions of scientific exploration and research to pay for space transportation; this will diminish public support and interest in the space program."
Last year, the Administration's budget slashed funding for astrobiology programs by 50%, and reduced solar system research by 26% from earlier plans. They had also cut several important missions, including both a Europa mission to investigate a possible habitat for life beyond Earth and the Terrestrial Planet Finder, a search for Earth-like worlds elsewhere in the galaxy. The Administration earlier in the year cut all work on a Mars Sample Return mission and precursor activities for human exploration of the Red Planet.
For nearly a year, The Planetary Society has rallied public opposition against these cuts with a campaign called Save Our Science (SOS). The campaign claimed some success in 2006 when the House of Representatives voted to restore partial funding: $75 million (out of a cut of $330 million). Especially noteworthy was $15 million directed for a mission to explore Europa, the icy moon of Jupiter, whose subsurface ocean is considered by many scientists as the most likely place in the solar system to find other forms of life. Funding was also provided for the Terrestrial Planet Finder mission, another mission that the Society strongly supported. The Senate also passed an Appropriations bill with extra funding for NASA, intended, in part, to alleviate the space science cuts.
However, Congress adjourned without final action on the federal budget, and all agencies in the government are now operating on a bill that sets funding at the 2006 levels with no direction as to how that money should be allocated. The cuts in science, therefore, remain in place unless the Administration reverses them in its fiscal year 2008 plan.
Friedman noted, "Additional cuts in 2008 are possible unless Congress intervenes. The NASA Administrator has already stated that he is willing to reallocate funds from other programs in NASA, such as space science, to pay for the new Ares launch vehicle."
The Planetary Society delivered the petition to the President's Science Advisor at the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the White House.

Season 7 will also see another new coach, Pharrell Williams who is replacing Cee Lo Green. Coincidentally, Stefani joined Pharrell on stage during his performance at the 2014 Coachella Music Festival. Stefani's most recent release was with her band No Doubt. They re-joined after an 11 year hiatus and released the album "Push and Shove" in 2012. Her last solo studio album was released back in 2006.
It is still not known if fans will see the return of Blake Shelton, and Adam Levine who have both been on every season thus far. Season 7 will premiere in the fall of 2014. The current season of "The Voice" is currently in the live elimination stages with eight contestants still in the mix to win.

Wine Words: Aromas
Aromas are a very important component of tasting and enjoying wine. Wine aromas are strongly linked to wine flavors and taste, since when we taste a wine we also absorb its aromas through our retro-nasal passage that connects our mouth to our nose.
So what exactly do we mean when we talk about aromas in wine?
If we like what we smell, we tend to want to drink the wine. Another key reason that aromas are important is to see if the wine is in good condition. Bad aromas can mean a faulty wine - and that is something we certainly do not want.
Wine aromas are very diverse. When we talk about wine aromas we are talking about a number of different things. While the aromas of any one wine are strongly linked to the particular grape variety/ies that made the wine, they are also influenced by where the grapes were grown (introducing the notion of terroir), by how the wine was made (such as particular winemaking and maturation techniques) and, by bottle age.
Grape or Primary Fruit Aromas
Different grapes have different primary aromas. These vary according to where the grapes are grown. The same grape grown in a cooler climate will have different aromas when grown in a warmer climate. For example, Chardonnay grown in a cool climate like Chablis, will have prominent green apple and citrus aromas. Chardonnay grown in a moderately warm climate such as the Maçon will smell more like melon and grapefruit, while Chardonnay grown in a warm climate will show more pineapple and tropical fruit aromas.
Grape aromas can be fruity and/or floral. Many white varieties such as Riesling and Viognier have very definite floral notes. Even some reds, such as cool climate Syrah, can have aromas of violets. Fruit aromas most associated with white wines include citrus, orchard, stone and tropical fruit. Red fruit aromas span the gamut of black and red fruits, all sorts of plums, berries and cherries. Depending on ripeness the aromas can be like freshly picked fruit, jammy, baked or even raisined or dried when ultra ripe.
Mineral, Herbal, Vegetable and Herbaceous Aromas
Beyond fruity, wine aromas can be mineral, spicy, vegetable, herbal or herbaceous. While some of these aromas can come from the primary grape, they can also come from the specific terroir, where the grapes were grown.
Herbal aromas can be fresh or dried and include tarragon, mint, eucalyptus as well as the famous Garrigue aroma associated with the wines of Châteauneuf du Papes. Herbaceous aromas include grassy or asparagus notes so often found in Sauvignon Blanc. Mineral aromas can be flinty, stony, earthy or tarry. Vegetable aromas include green or black olive (think cool climate Syrah) as well as all sorts of salad, peas and beans.
Finally, spicy aromas can be inherent to the grape such as black pepper in Syrah, white pepper in Gruner Veltliner or they can come from oak.
Aromas of Oak
As well as adding spice, oak can add all sorts of wonderful aromas to a wine including cedar, toast, char, smoke, clove, licorice, baking spices, vanilla, coconut or vanilla.
Winemaking Aromas
Cool temperature fermentations tend to preserve and even enhance the primary fruit aromas of the grape, while warmer fermentations tend to produce wines that are more driven by structure than primary fruit. Similarly wines fermented in stainless steel tanks are typically fruitier than those vinified in cask. Techniques such as Malolactic Fermentation (MLF), which converts the harsher malic acid in a wine into a softer lactic acid can add creamy, buttery aromas to a wine.
Aromas of Maturity
As a wine ages either in tank, wood or in bottle it undergoes lots of internal chemical reactions. Compounds in the wine breakdown and react with each other to form new compounds and new aromas. Such aromas include leather, cigar box, truffle or mushroom, fusel/petrol, brioche/cereal or honey aromas.
Off-Aromas or Faults
These are the aromas that we do not want to find in our wine. Sometimes a teeny weeny hint of certain ones is desirable and actually adds complexity to a wine, but it is a thin tightrope and a dominant force of any of them is undeniably a fault. Such aromas include overly oxidative aromas, cork taint (TCA), vinegar, nail polish remover, rotten cabbage, sulphur, stinky barnyard or smelly sweat.

Hi, I know I'm going to be hated for this, but being French, I'd like to point two errors: Mâcon is a town, le mâconnais the region around it (maçon = bricklayer), and it's Châteauneuf-du-Pape (no -S). I know, French is the worst language ever.
I thought that winemaking aromas were a sign of a fault in a wine ? Especially the cork aroma ?
Are you going to do an article on how to pair wines with meals ? I'm researching this topic right now, and if it's easy for me to find informations on French wines, my countrymen are too proud to provide informations on international wines (Californian, Chilian, Australian), even though I love some of them.

(Jerusalem Post) Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein should press incitement charges against MK Michael Ben-Ari (National Union) for tearing a New Testament and throwing it in the trash, the Knesset's sole Christian MK, Hanna Sweid (Hadash), said Wednesday.
"This is hooliganism, bullying and an apocalyptic act of hatred that was baseless and unnecessary," Sweid told The Jerusalem Post after Ben-Ari destroyed the book, which was mailed to all 120 MKs by a messianic Jewish organization. "This reflects the culture of a man who is dangerous to nations and religions of the world."
Evangelicals support Ben-Ari's path of occupation and settlements. I hope they will now see who they are dealing with."

Yesterday, on the 17 year anniversary of Don't Ask Don't Tell being signed into law, the Pentagon released its study on this controversial and discriminatory policy. The results are pretty clear: over 2/3 of service members believe ending DADT would have a positive, mixed, or no effect.
Further, service members know they are already serving with gay and lesbian soldiers, and the majority don't have a problem with this. The authors of the study and the joint chiefs are now supportive of repealing DADT. And the study's authors also recommend removing language from the Uniform Code of Military Justice that bans "consensual sodomy." The full report can be found here.
The release of this study is the latest step in President Obama's methodical and formal approach to repealing DADT, which has frustrated a lot of LGBT activists working on this issue. In a statement the president called on Congress to continue this process:
With our nation at war and so many Americans serving on the front lines, our troops and their families deserve the certainty that can only come when an act of Congress ends this discriminatory policy once and for all. The House of Representatives has already passed the necessary legislation. Today I call on the Senate to act as soon as possible so I can sign this repeal into law this year and ensure that Americans who are willing to risk their lives for their country are treated fairly and equally.
Now work to repeal DADT moves to the Senate, and there is a push to have this happen in the lame duck session. Some Republican opposition is still expected, despite the support of the Pentagon.
What are your reactions to the release of this study and the way the process of repealing DADT is proceeding?

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
If the Blazers keep their lottery pick -- and that's a big if as it appears Olshey will look for willing trade partners -- it is likely the team pursues a shooting guard.
This draft class is largely considered a down class, but if there is a strength, it is at shooting guard, where Ben McLemore (Kansas), Victor Oladipo (Indiana), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Georgia), Franklin and Glen Rice Jr. (Georgia Tech/Development League) as well as combo guards like CJ McCollum (Lehigh) and Carter-Williams.
I really hope we trade the pick. Terry Stotts doesn't need to start all over with rookies again next season. It's time to "move the needle" I'm really curious as to who it'll be.
One of Thee best scenarios's at this juncture is to trade the pick to acquire a proven shooting guard and an asset,in addition to having the 39th,40th and 45th pick to get another raw combo sg/sf and a back up point guard in the event that Maynor doesnt stay or get retained. If that is the case,$11 and change million to go after a pivot to anchor the guts of this squad.Im a little giddy right now and i'll tell you why..players are starting to realize that it's a blessing to play for and put a small market franchise on the map. Big time dreams and a small town background are two of the intangibles that Olshey should be seeking, and i think that's his mindset. Athleticaly urban and mentally rural,thats the City of Roses. Thats Rip City ! No retreat,No Surrender,No Excuses ! Do It ! Until it cant be done. Thats what we do, thats who we are !
Well said CT! "Athleticaly urban and mentally rural"....brilliant!
I heard an interesting comment on the Dan Patrick show the other day. They were talking about San Antonio and how they build through the draft and they draft for the long haul not for right now. It is a strategy that has been largely copied by Memphis, Indiana, Oklahoma City with much success.It is also interesting to note that San Antonio's one big splash in free agency the past 2 decades has been the Richard Jefferson acquisition. The first season with Jefferson was arguably their roughest season start of the Tim Duncan era. This isn't fantasy basketball, these players aren't just statistics, they are personalities and egos that must co-exist. Our "quick Fix" attempts to fill needs the past few years with players like Wallace, Felton and Crawford made sense statistically but were unmitigated disasters. We can keep churning free agents that are "good enough" to fill an immediate need and hope to get a first round exit every year or we can slow cook a contender. I like the idea of using our pick on Dieng or moving up a bit for Olidapo.

I knew the Kansas City Chiefs would be a much better team this season, due in part to to picking up playmakers like Dexter McCluster and Thomas Jones, but did not — even for a second — expect them to beat the San Diego Chargers.
The Chiefs' defense wasn't great, but they were good enough. Philip Rivers still threw for just under 300 yards and two touchdowns, and Ryan Matthews chipped in with 75 yards on the ground, but the Chiefs held strong when it was necessary.
They forced Matthews to fumble, which Brandon Carr recovered and put the Kansas City offense in perfect position to tie the game up at seven. They also allowed the Chargers to convert only 26 percent of their third-down attempts and got into Rivers' head enough to cause some bad decisions.
Oh, and the Chiefs' defense held strong against against the potent Chargers' offense on four consecutive downs within the six-yard line with under a minute left to win the game. That was actually probably the best thing the Chiefs did all night and worth mentioning quickly.
They had already gotten into Rivers' head earlier in the game, and forced three incomplete passes from him at the end of the game. Darren Sproles also carried the ball for a two-yard loss, backing the Chargers up from the Chiefs four-yard line to the six.
Outside of the Chiefs' goal-line stand, the best play had to have been the rookie McCluster's 94-yard punt return for a touchdown — which proved to be the difference in the game.
At first, everyone in Kansas City had to be wondering why in the world the rookie would field a punt, in the rain, from the six-yard line — something usually frowned upon as punt returners are told not to field the ball within the 10. But no one was questioning his decision as he raced past the punter and into the endzone to put the Chiefs up by 14 points.
Another rookie, Javier Arenas, chipped in a great deal on special teams by averaging around 20 yards per kick return and 30 yards on two punt returns. He didn't score or have any huge plays, but he consistently set the offense up with good field position and showed great promise for the future.
Matt Cassel and the Kansas City offense — outside of Jamaal Charles who was electric as always will 11 carries for 92 yards and a touchdown — has a ton of work to do if the Chiefs are going to ride this huge win and try to do something this season, but the defense and special team don't have a whole lot to worry about. If they can stop the Chargers, they should be able to stop nearly any offense in the league.

Okay, well I had been holding off on posting an update thinking I was going to release it soon, but seeing how it's hour's past when I usually release it, I thought I'd post an update.
During recording, Vuk's computer essentially locked up and screwed up the download (he and this site are cursed, I swear). Luckily, one of my backup sources, Overheat, grabbed it and encoded it for me. He started uploading it to a FTP for me and then headed to bed. Unfortanetly, it's taking FOREVER to upload. It keeps starting and stopping. As soon as it's uploaded though, I'll torrent it and release it (assuming it doesn't take more than a few hours as I don't wanna stay up all night).

Interview: Paulo Martins
Additional Questions by: Jordan Utley, Chris Moeller, Shawn "Elf" Walters and Matt Beringer.
Name: Mike Aitken
Age: 30
Hometown: Salt Lake City, Utah
Sponsors/help: Fox, Rockstar, Fitbikeco, Odyssey, Lotek, 50/50
Years riding: 19
Screen grab by Jordan Utley
1. What is your very first memory of BMX?
When I was eleven years old (in 1994), I was sitting at a BMX track watching people race. I was in disbelief that a sport like this existed and it took me this long to find it!
2. What riders have inspired you in the beginning?
Brian Foster, Scotty Yoquelet, Chris Staufer, Kris Bennett, Groundchuck, Wingding, Brandon Pundai, Josh Stricker.
3. Nowadays who are your favourite riders to watch?
Hmmm… a lot of the same dudes, I watch old vids! Clint Reynolds, Brian Yeagle, Eric Hennisey, Brian Foster, Justin Inman, English Robbo, Mike Szczesny, I'm sure there's others but that's off the top of my head.
4. Top 10 riders of all time, regardless of discipline?
Brian Foster, Joe Rich, Taj Mihelich, Mat Hoffman, Rueben Alcantara, Van Homan, Jay Miron, Andrew Faris, Edwin De LaRosa, Colin Winkelman.
5. Who are the people you ride with?
Shawn Elf Walters, Tate Roskelley, Cameron Wood, Matt Beringer, Mike Szczesny, Greg Ingersol.
6. For some riders their bikes mean freedom to them, what does it mean to you?
It definitely gives me a sense of freedom. It is my outlet to take all of my frustrations in life out on so… It's also my creative outlet.
7. It's been a long time, but your injury stuff stays on the top of everyone's mind when they think about you… How are you feeling physically, and just as importantly, how are you feeling mentally, almost five years after?
Physically, I think I'm always going to have to work hard at getting my right side to act up to par with my left. The right was the side that was paralyzed and had to endure the three weeks of muscle atrophe due to the coma. Mentally, I didn't even think I would have to deal with that, that's how vague and in outer space I was. I've been on various medications to help me get back to the brain chemicals that make me who I am. I didn't want to be on all of these drugs and I thought that I didn't need them. It sent me for a year and half tailspin, all because I wasn't getting the right help from the right doctors. So honestly… After four and a half years & the right doctors, I have been to find myself again.
8. What's your daily routine like right now, are you still doing any kind of rehab work?
I get up at 8:00 am and help my wife get our son Owen ready and drive him to school. Then I do some yard work. Just the other day, I got cleared to ride and do active stuff again, (due to a crash I had out in California at Heath Pinter's house). I ended up pissing blood and breaking my kidney into five pieces. I couldn't afford rehab work (after the coma) because it is expensive, here in the states, but I go to the gym and do as much as possible and the very best I can. Since the Doc gave me the okay to do physical activities again (after my kidney injury), I have been going to the gym in the morning.

9. After your crash you're also experienced the struggle of not being able to ride for an extend period of time, how did you handle this situation, and how did it changed your perspective about life in general?
The amount of time off of my bike, didn't really matter. I knew, and know that I will be back to where I want to be again. Especially now that I've got a better grasp on the mental side of things. I took in just how fragile life really is. How lucky we are just to be living. How lucky I am to live this "extreme" lifestyle which I had been living before I crashed. I handle risk of life a bit differently now. Especially now that I realize it's not just about me anymore. I have my wife and little boy to enjoy. I've been looking ahead lately, and the road looks pretty long, winding and beautifully awesome from here!
10. What are some key pieces of your recovery that the average rider, for better or worse, doesn't know about it?
That it is a long time coming, and the brain is a complex labyrinth. The slightest bruise or blood on the brain can cause significant problems. I mean the bruise on the left frontal lobe of my brain was about the size of a thumb print. The frontal lobe injury caused permanent issues, affecting my attention, short-term memory, planning, and motivation. Many people don't realize that I was paralyzed on the entire right side of my body. If I had not worked so hard, doing my physical therapies, I would still be paralyzed. I had to re-learn to speak with a speech therapist. Sometimes I still say the word "yesterday" a little off. To this day, I still regularly see a doctor for my mental health.
I sometimes walk with a limp. It is mostly noticeable when I am tired. My memory is horrible. My wife likes to joke and call me, "10 second Tom" because I forget things so easily.
11. How would you describe what riding feels like to you right now?
It definitely feels a little bit foreign, but if I just let my body take over and quit thinking, the muscle memory somewhat kicks in and it feels like I never stopped. That for sure makes me happy. My right side is still weaker than my left but I will keep on working on that.
12. What keeps you motivated to film and ride? What do you think has driven you to continue with it, to come back?
Riding is what I have done my entire life. It is my lifestyle. It's all I know. The feeling I get when I ride is amazing and that never goes away. My friends have always supported me. They are huge motivators.
13. How did you feel after your "rebel run" jumping the sets at the Texas Toast Jam Pro Dirt Comp?
I felt excited and relieved that I made it through! The outpour of support was just amazingly awesome!
14. Favourite spot to ride?
Tanner trails, Salt Lake City.
15. What's been your most memorable BMX experience?
Wow there's just been so many… But if I had to pick one in the most exotic, coolest place it would be riding in South Africa. It was just so different from what I would call normal, it was awesome. I ate up every second of it.
16. Favourite trick of all time is… I would have to say the tabletop.
17. Style or tricks… style but if you're going to do tricks add some steez!
18. TOP 5 bike vids?
Push tweekers, 1201, Anthem, Lights out, Soil.
Photo Riley Smith
19. What else other than BMX gets you really pumped to ride?
Music, my son's outlook on life, family, videos, snowboarding.
20. The best advice you ever received was?
Live every day like it's your last. You just never know!
21. The last book you read was?
Damn… Jeffrey Gitomer's 'Little Gold Book of YES! Attitude'.
22. You'd like to know more about…
The great outdoors, cars motorcycles, life in general. I swear, almost every day you learn something new. If you put yourself out there, you're never too old to learn.
23. How many horse power does your Trans-Am have? What year? Does the Trans-Am have a bike rack?
Five hundred and fifty. 1979 SE Bandit Edition. Of course it has a bike rack.
24. How was to film your new FIT promo with Jordan Utley?
Easy, like filming with a brother. He is very creative and talented.
25. How are things going at Fit right now, do you have any other signature parts in the works? How about video parts, web videos, road trips?
Things at Fit right now are great. Everything goes along really easy. I talk directly to the person making the product. It rules! No products in the immediate future but time will tell. We are working on a new team video I have no idea on any release date but it is in the works, I'm sure there will be some web action out this year some time, no telling when, but you know.
26. Killjoy got the Nora Cup award for the "Video of the Year" last year. What does that mean to you?
It means that heart and dedication can come through in the right ways especially when you get a bunch of great and special guys together like we've got, oh yeah… And we got a pretty cool trophy!
Additional questions by Jordan Utley
27. Stockton or Malone?
Malone's the man but I'm a small white kid… Stockton.
28. Black coffee or coconut latte?
It used to be coconut latte but as of late it's been black coffee.
Photo by Joe Rich
Additional questions by Chris Moeller
29. Do you remember the one moment as a kid when you realized BMX was your passion?
I don't think I ever took the time to realize that. I just always rode and didn't realize that it was my passion, or what the hell that even meant, or what a passion even was! Riding was just a part of my life. A part of ME!
30. Did your parents push you as a kid to perform in school or sports or did you motivate yourself completely?
My parents were really relaxed and let me make my own decisions with sports and riding. They took me racing, all over the west coast from the ages of 11 to 13. We drove & camped everywhere. Good times! As far as school my mom always pushed and helped me with my schooling. They both supported me fully.
Additional questions by Shawn "Elf" Walters
31. Favorite movie quote.
My movie quote file got all messed up due to the brain injury so my quotes aren't what they used to be so you'll have to forgive me. "He puts the Joe Dirt in the hole!"
32. Who has a better hair cut Chris Doyle or Mike Szczesny?
I don't know… I talked to Doyle and he doesn't step to the blow dryer, so I think I'm gonna have to stay true to my hometown, Szczesny Ha ha!
33. Larry Bird or Karl Malone? Why?
Karl Malone. His nickname is the mailman! I am from Utah after all and he invented the hammer dunk! Ha ha
Additional questions by Matt Beringer
34. You've traveled a lot through the years with BMX, I know you like living in Utah but if you had to move somewhere else in the world where would it be?
That's a tough one, do I have to move? I think I would have to fill a life long dream of mine and my wife's of one day living in Hawaii.
35. Speaking of traveling, is there any place that you've always wanted to go but haven't?
I've always wanted to go to South America.
36. What the best movie out of FUBAR, Army of Darkness, and Joe Dirt?
Their all top three movies that will put you in a better place, I'm just going to leave it at that.
37. Are you going to do more with Vigilantia clothing?
I don't know I used Vigilantia as a way to raise money to get out of more medical debt, I don't have the time or money it would take to do it what I consider correctly.
38. What's the fastest you've got your TransAm up to?
The needle max's out at 120 so I be had the needle so buried its facing me and everything begins to get lighter and floaty.
39. Last words… don't take anything for granted, have fun every day!

FRIDAY, Nov. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Enhanced surveillance of
acute hepatitis C infections in the United States offers more
timely and complete case reporting that provides greater benefits
to public health, a new study concludes.
Each year in the United States, HCV infection affects nearly 4
million people and causes about 12,000 deaths, and the U.S.
Institute of Medicine recently recommended a comprehensive
evaluation of the nation's hepatitis B and C surveillance
Researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) compared 2008 data on acute hepatitis C (HCV)
collected from two sources: the National Notifiable Diseases
Surveillance System (the CDC's nationwide system for disease
reporting) and the Emerging Infections Program (EIP), a CDC-funded
network of health departments in selected states that gathers
detailed information meant to improve public health responses to
emerging infectious diseases.
EIP sites reported 26 (22 percent ) more acute HCV cases than
the 94 cases reported by NNDSS. Information on race and major HCV
risk factors was absent from 22 percent and 60 percent of NNDSS
reports, respectively, compared with 8 percent and 25 percent of
EIP reports, respectively.
The average length of time between diagnosis and reporting of
acute HCV cases to the state health department was 30 days (range 0
to 298 days) in NNDSS, compared with 19 days (range 0 to 350 days)
in EIP sites, the study found.
"These findings underscore that enhanced surveillance for acute hepatitis C improves the completeness and timeliness of the data," the researchers wrote.
Between 2010 and 2019, the direct medical cost of chronic HCV
infection could exceed $10.7 billion, the cost of HCV-related
premature death could be $54.2 billion, and the cost of HCV-related
disability could be $21.3 billion, according to the study.
The study appears in the latest issue of
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, published by the CDC.

|Penang may consider taking PORR and monorail projects private

NST Online » Frontpage
THE PENANG state government may consider taking the Penang Outer Ring Road and monorail projects private if the federal government continues with its decision to defer both projects.Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said he would get the relevant state agencies to furnish him with the necessary details before deciding.
He, however, said the state government's priority was to urge the federal government to pursue both projects.
"We hope the federal government will keep to its words ... after all, both projects have been promised to us much earlier.
"If at all it fails to implement both projects, then we may seriously consider taking them private," he told reporters after the executive committee members of the Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce called on him yesterday.
The proposed RM2 billion monorail and RM1.5 billion PORR projects have been deferred under the mid-term review of the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP).

Would you rather be an information producer, propagator, or consumer?
In my Bioelectricity class this week, we talked about the propagation of electrical signals in the body. We learned that sensory cells and neurons act like information "producers." As sensory cells in the eye, ear, nose, tongue and body generate the electric signals that stimulate neurons, "information" is produced by the body! This information is then transmitted in the form of action potentials (or "spikes") along myelinated axons which act as "information propagators" as they efficiently and rapidly distribute these signals. These signals may be received by the dendrites of other neurons which act as receivers, or "consumers" of the action potentials.
Learning this material has inspired me to ask: how can biology inspire us as we disseminate "ideas worth spreading?" or as we consider our roles as information producers, information propagators, or an information consumers? How can we best help propagate worthy and novel ideas?

Feb 25 2012: I don't think there is always a fine line between being an information producer, propagator or consumer. I think that we are constantly propagating information without realizing it, simply through our daily communications with other people. When we produce information, I think it's impossible to share it without also reconsuming it-- because naturally the process spreading information requires reviewing it yourself.
Teaching, which is a form of information producing and propagating, is necessarily learning teachers must understand a subject from so many aspects to be able to effectively teach to various learning styles.
We are all information producers due to the internet-- for example google tracks all the moves we make, and our decisions on the internet to search things or look up things is a piece of information that is used to understand what people are looking at, interested in, likely to buy, etc..

Researchers have found that some stem cells in human amniotic fluid appear to have many of the key therapeutic benefits of embryonic stem cells while avoiding their knottiest ethical, medical and logistical drawbacks, according to a study published Sunday.
The stem cells — easy to harvest from the fluid left over from amniocentesis tests given to many pregnant women — were used to create bone, heart muscle, blood vessels, fat, and nerve and liver tissues, the study said.
"So far, we've been successful with every cell type we've attempted to produce from these stem cells," said study senior author Anthony Atala, director of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, N.C. The report was published online by the journal Nature Biotechnology.
The finding points to a promising avenue of research that sidesteps the hurdles facing embryonic stem cell research, which has been hampered by moral objections to the destruction of embryos that occurs when the cells are harvested.
The objections have been divisive, prompting President Bush to restrict federal funding for most human embryonic stem cell research. Those restrictions have sparked movements in some states to fund research on their own.
California's Proposition 71, approved in 2004, was designed to provide $3 billion for stem cell research but has met a vigorous legal challenge from opponents of the research.
Amniotic stem cell research ducks the controversy because no embryos are destroyed. The National Institutes of Health already funds such research.
The study also suggests another advantage: Embryonic cells can form tumors when implanted in lab animals, but amniotic-fluid stem cells do not appear to do so.
"If everything that people think about them turns out to be true, they'll be a powerful source for therapeutic cells," said Alan Russell, director of the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, who wasn't involved in the study.
It is still unclear whether stem cells from amniotic fluid — the liquid that cushions fetuses in the womb — can produce the range of cell types that embryonic stem cells can.
"They can clearly generate a broad range of important cell types, but they may not do as many tricks as embryonic stem cells," said Dr. Robert Lanza, an embryonic stem cell researcher and head of scientific development at Advanced Cell Technology Inc. in Worcester, Mass.
But even if amniotic stem cells turn out to be less flexible, they still might be an important tool in the nascent field of regenerative medicine.
Dr. Dario Fauza, coordinator of the surgical research laboratories at Children's Hospital Boston, has used the cells to grow tissue to repair defective diaphragms and tracheas in sheep.
He has asked the Food and Drug Administration for permission to do the same for children born with herniated diaphragms. It would be the first human clinical trial involving amniotic stem cells, he said.
Swiss scientists Dorthe Schmidt and Simon Hoerstrup of University Hospital Zurich have used amniotic stem cells to grow heart valves. They are currently testing them in sheep.
The stem cells "may not be as earth-shattering a discovery as human embryonic stem cells, but these cells could prove to be equally important for medical therapy," said Lanza, who was not involved in the study. "I think this is an exciting breakthrough."
Amniotic-fluid stem cells lie somewhere between the two major categories of stem cells: embryonic and adult.
Embryonic stem cells are derived from days-old embryos. Nearly all of the development is still to come, so those cells must be extremely flexible.
That "pluripotency" is the reason researchers believe embryonic stem cells could offer cures for a wide range of ailments. They hope to use the cells to replace the insulin-secreting islet cells of diabetes patients and to grow brain tissue to treat stroke victims, among other treatments. But they don't yet know how.
Stem cells in amniotic fluid show promise
A study finds they offer key therapeutic benefits but avoid controversy.

Definately a good fit for me. Great for a cover-up or going out to lunch. I wore it hostessing at the seafood restaurant i work at and got many compliments though not the best if you are not wearing a bathing suit top under it. Hard to hide bra straps even with a strapless. Breathes very well and could be balled up in your beach bag all day and still looked good. Great dress!

What to Expect When You're Expecting is a new film that is somewhat in the vein of the Valentine's Day film which was released back in February. This film tells the story of several couples who are approximately to have children & how this is going to alter their lives. It follows several different couples who are having children for different reasons, some because they wanted them, & some who have a unexpected pregnancy.
What to Expect When You're Expecting is completely shallow, yet it is not intending to be an emotionally deep piece as you might first expect from the description, & instead is a comedy. Most of the comedy comes out of one of the lead characters Chris Rock. However, while What to Expect When You're Expecting is rather thin, there are some moments which are touching & this really brings a nice contrast to the comedy.
What to Expect When You're Expecting tells the story of Wendy, who is played by Elizabeth Banks. She is a pregnancy expert who has written a book approximately what expectant mothers are going to go through. However, she has not previously been able to obtain pregnant herself, despite her apparent expertise in the books. As you might expect, in the film she finally manages to obtain pregnant & she wonders approximately following her own advice.
There are many other famous names in What to Expect When You're Expecting, & that is one of the reasons why it reflects Valentine's Day so closely. Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, & Anna Kendrick all make appearances as characters who have become pregnant.
Chris Rock plays the role of a father & he is all too ready to offer advice to one of the expectant fathers in the movie played by Rodrigo Santoro. Rock tells him that there is no way you ever can be completely ready for having a child, & that attempts of preparation are somewhat futile.
What to Expect When You're Expecting
There are plenty of jokes in the production & at many points the audience will probably find themselves laughing out loud. Some of them are a bit crass yet this is what people will probably be expecting from this sort of film.
You might have thought that many of the characters in What to Expect When You're Expecting would be able to draw on real life for their experiences of raising children. Interestingly however, none of the characters in real life have a parenting experience like they do in the film. For example, in real life, Jennifer Lopez has two children, yet in the movie she plays someone who is unable to.
It might seem unnatural for What to Expect When You're Expecting to be put together this way, yet it actually manages to add something a little bit extra as it doesn't seem too true to life, which might harm the comedy value. Unfortunately, the film does feel a bit choppy & mashed together. However, most people will be able to forgive this somewhat lack of cohesion because there are some tremendous jokes & What to Expect When You're Expecting puts across a message which is amusing & emotionally moving at the same time.

And that will do what? Potentially put her friend in danger( if there's danger, which is why you're taking a friend right? To protect you from danger?) too? That's what good friends do.
OP: is there work something you really can't live without? If its nothing super fantastic, you don't have to be their first shoot if you don't feel comfortable with it.
Otherwise, trust your gut. If there are any weird things about their profile, the way they communicate with you, etc then don't go.
Ask them for their real name ( and google it)
Google their phone number
Google the address you're supposed to meet at
Use satellite or street view for that address and familiarize yourself with what's nearby in case of emergency (can you run across the street and into a coffee shop, ask to use their phone, or are you in the middle of nowhere?)
If you're going to a location, drive yourself. Be firm but polite, you'd just rather take your own car. That way you're never at someone else's mercy if you want/need to leave
Tell someone where you're going and at what times you'll be there, call them when you arrive and tell them what time you will call them again at ( either mid-shoot and/or when it's over.) if they don't hear from you by X time then they need to call you back, and if you don't answer what to do then
Know that you're free to leave any shoot you feel uncomfortable at. You don't owe anything to anybody if they're making you uncomfortable, just get up and leave.
When you're on a shoot, don't leave your things spread all over the place while you're shooting. Once you've gotten ready, pack your stuff up neatly and place it near the door, so you're not scrambling around someone's studio/house trying to get your keys and wallet and phone or worrying about having to leave all your stuff behind because you just want to get out of there quickly. If they say something about it just explain that you like to be tidy and you don't want to forget anything when you leave so you'd rather keep it all together.
Don't blame you but if everyone did this that would never happen. Plus, I'd bet some models around here have had some pretty iffy experiences with photographers who have a gazzillion references. Is there even an association between being new and being unsafe? Maybe, but I'd bet no one on here will be citing a social science study after commenting on that.
going to local events is one of the easiest ways for photographers to get out and start meeting real life people who can actually start to vouch for them. A "yeah I met the guy for a few hours at a group shoot/meet up/workshop" isn't as perfect as "we shot one on one privately"... But it's better than nothing.
Why would they be unsafe, why are you safe?
Andrew Thomas Evans
And what are you afraid of? You have his home address, if anything happens it should be very easy for the police or someone to find you or them or both.
Sure they may be a total creep, but that's somewhat par for the course sometimes.
I'd personally be more worried about meeting someone out in public first, a lot of women are abducted from malls - those are public.
Andrew Thomas Evans
Passing is appearing to be the best solution here...!
Been around for two years and still hasn't managed to meet a single person from the site?
Personally I wouldn't bother, but that's me.
Seriously? I agree that you have to have a certain amount of trust and professionalism to do things like this, and that some people are way over cautious...
But this is a girl going to a man's house. She has no references, no way to verify what he's like, and he wants her to come alone. There is plenty to be afraid of (founded or not). I wouldn't feel comfortable going.
Agree to disagree. For me it's "you agree to meet before the shoot, or I bring an escort...or no shoot". In this case, I think it would be best for the OP to decline.
I've learned some good info on this forum. The photographer I've been talking about kinda seems like the OP's photographer. Been on MM since 2011, limited port...only one photo with a credit. Along with it took forever for the guy to get me proper contact info. I may pass on shooting with him.
Thanks, I just happened to google the company listed at the bottom of his about me section and it linked me to another model mayhem profile that was created about a yr earlier. Exact same Bio copied and pasted, A different state, and tons of photos.
Yep - why should a particular photographer believe you're safe?
If I thought someone was unsafe I wouldn't even contact them about working together.
And that would just about eliminate every really creative soul...so don't expect much excitement in the photos either.
Gee, that's a lot too do. Look on Google maps to see if there are places to run to? Many models don't have cars either. Tell you what all photographers should be required to do a DNA test, pass a NSA background check and models should check in every ten minutes with friends and the police. If free photo shoots require all that are they really worth doing? Many of the shooters who join MM won't have many models to show. Their profiles may be poorly worded and I know several who are excellent photographers buy socially awkward. Well good job of potentially scaring models.
Boasting Mode On!
I've had only two flakes in ~18 years.
Boasting Model Off!
I have a good "flake ratio" in part because I am very selective about which models I will photograph. I prefer experienced models. If a model provided so little information for me, I'd ask my local photographic community whether anyone has any experience with the model. Failing that, I'd just pass, reconsidering once the person gains a little more experience.
Look -- we photographers often get our start by photographing friends or classmates or family. There's nothing wrong with that. Alternatively, I've gotten started in a new area by first meeting other photographers, and they have helped me find models to work with.
So, in short, if it was me...
... Check with your local photographers & models,
... Pass for now, but leave the door open for later.
Note: I do occasionally do a TF* session with a brand new model -- it's a risk (and to date, none have flaked on me), but I figure I owe karma back to the folks who helped me when I was first starting out.
Edit: Alternatively, you can give the guy a break, as long as you can figure out an agreement that makes you feel safe. If you get good pictures or good pay -- bonus! If not, you get good karma points for helping out a newbie. Who knows, he may turn into a world class photographer, one who remembers the break you gave him.
I agree completely. Like you when I started here I lacked a Facebook account and had few models to show yet models trusted me enough to shoot. When I was in Texas there was no community of photographers to join to ask about models. Same for Chicago. I've found that many photographers are unwilling to share information about models. One of our members has found success with that method of vetting models. Another member suggests leaving clothing near exits and checking out local places to make a get-away to. Gee, is it worth doing shoots if they require all of that. People over complicate things. What does the average woman do to go on a new date with a guy? She simply goes. Most, I'm guessing aren't asking past girlfriends he had too see if he was nice or using Google to see if the restaurant he's taking her to dinner has a back door to run through.
I'm not suggesting that models or women not use common sense and due diligence but if a free shoot or even one with modest payment requires a litany of things to do before going. Are they really worth doing.
If that's his model mayhem profile, then he's not just starting out. Nothing wrong with being new, but there's a lot wrong about lying about it.
I'd say turn down the offer, and maybe CAM it in case there have been other similar incidents.
I dont know Tony, *I* used to do all of that without any issue, so no I dont think its too much. If a model doesnt want to do it, she doesnt have to, but this particular model was looking for advice on what to do, so I gave it.
I know you really just HATE the idea of anyone doing any kind of background checking on you, but its the same tired old argument.
If I have to drive somewhere new, I streetview the address REGARDLESS of WHO Im working with because so many houses/buildings arent numbered/easy to find the numbers and I want to know what the building Im going to looks like. While Im at it, I see what is around that building so that I can familiarize myself with the area and will know when Im at the right place. Gosh thats just so much work...a whole five minutes of my time. But youre right, thats totally the same thing as requiring a DNA test
This is exactly why escorts make no sense.
The same can be said of models and their s on MM.
What rules has he broken for CAM? Is having a home studio as many do a problem. I'm just not getting your thought process. What similar incidents? Is asking models to shoot when you have few images something to CAM members for? I don't know why he called himself new. Maybe he still considers himself new. Not sure that's a lie. He could have started and stopped. Who knows. To me what's so sad is how many people view people as sinister when they haven't heard from the person.
This, and check what ref. you have available of the photographer.

Venue Info
Royal Opera House
The Royal Opera House is situated on Bow Street in the heart of London, close to Covent Garden tube station.
The first building to be constructed on the present site was called the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden and was erected in 1732 with the money made from an 18th century production of The Beggar's Opera.
This building was awarded a theatrical patent from the King, which was particularly sought after at the time as the patent allowed drama to be performed. The only other theatre given this power was the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.
The building also gained fame thanks to the composer Handel, who favoured the theatre and premiered much of his music here during the 1700s.
But, like any long-serving institution, its fortunes have varied over the years. Fires in 1808 and 1856 led to the building being entirely rebuilt twice, and in 1843 the theatre lost its exclusive drama rights, forcing it to rename itself the Royal Italian Opera. Following the popularity of its change to opera, the building was named the Royal Opera House in the late 1890s and began staging operas from all over Europe.
The 2268 seat building that stands today was designed by Sir Edward M. Barry. It was built by Frederick Gye in just six months and originally opened in May 1858 with a production of Les Huguenots by Meyerbeer.
After World War II, the Sadler's Wells Ballet company moved to Covent Garden to join the Opera Company. United under one roof, they were renamed the Royal Ballet and the Royal Opera respectively.
Among the countless notable shows to have graced this venerable stage during its long history are the premieres of William Congreve's The Way of the World, Gioachino Rossini's Semiramide and George Bizet's Carmen.
Today, the Royal Opera House enjoys consistent success, attracting more than 65,0000 visitors per year. It has a unique reputation for presenting classical and modern ballets and operas from the four corners of the globe. Recent successes include Robert Le Diable, Swan Lake, The Minotaur, The Nutcracker and L'elsir d'amore.
Whatever you decide to see at the Royal Opera House, we wish you an entertaining and rewarding visit.
