The present invention relates to a method for producing extensible paper, a plant for implementing the method, a product obtained by the method, and a paper material obtained from the product.
Extensible paper is a known paper which, because of special treatment during its production, presents considerable extensibility both in the longitudinal direction (i.e. in the direction of its advancement along the production line) and in the transverse direction (i.e. in the direction perpendicular to the preceding). This treatment consists essentially of passing the paper web, not yet formed and presenting a moisture content of about 35%/45%, between two rollers rotating at different speeds. One of these rollers, generally the lower roller, is made of rubber and is rotated at lower speed, while the upper roller is made of steel and comprises in its cylindrical surface a continuous spiral-shaped groove. The different material nature and the different speed of the two rollers results in a sort of longitudinal accumulation of the paper forming material and prepares it for longitudinal extensibility, by an amount which can reach 15-20%. At the same time, the spiral groove performs a double function: on the one hand it causes a sort of transverse accumulation of the material forming the paper, to prepare it for transverse extensibility, by an amount which can reach 10-15%. On the other hand the spiral groove contributes to maintaining longitudinal advancement of the processed paper web along the machine.
The longitudinal and transverse paper accumulation as a result of its passage between the two rollers, and the particular method by which this is achieved, results in the formation, in the paper web leaving the machine, of a series of folds, compactions or heaps which extend for various lengths with a pattern reflecting the surface of the steel roller, and cover the entire surface of the web. In their turn, these folds define in the paper a sort of accentuated macroscopic roughness, giving rise to serious problems which substantially limit its use.
One of these problems, related to the widespread use of this type of paper in the packaging field, in which it has to be coupled to plastic film or other impermeabilizing layers, is that the accentuated roughness makes it more difficult for the impermeabilizing layer to correctly and uniformly adhere to the extensible paper web, resulting in possible detachment between the two when the combination is subjected to deformation to produce three-dimensional packs.
Another problem is that because of the particular undulated geometry of the product web, the accentuated roughness results in a substantial decrease in rigidity, i.e. in bending resistance, which is very important for packaging materials.
Another problem is that although the accentuated roughness is far removed from the crinkling used in the past to produce extensible paper, it still forms an obstacle to the deposition of ink, and essentially an obstacle to correct printing, which on the contrary would require the smoothest possible surface.
The invention proposes to eliminate these problems, i.e. to provide a paper which simultaneously presents considerable extensibility characteristics while being substantially free of surface roughness, measurable inn terms of order of magnitude on the Bendsen scale, consequently making it uniformly rigid, easily coupled to impermeabilizing layers, and printable without particular problems and with satisfactory results on traditional printing machines.
This and further objects which will be apparent from the ensuing description are attained by a method for producing substantially smooth extensible paper as claimed in claim 1.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
As can be seen from the figures, the extensible paper production plant comprises essentially a high density kneader 2 consisting substantially of a cylindrical tank with an inverted frusto-conical base and housing internally a conical impeller 4 having a helical projection on its surface.
The kneader is connected to a storage vat 6 provided with a stirrer and connected to a refining station 10 formed from refining units alternating with storage vats. The exit from the last refining unit is connected to another refining unit 12 of the perforated ring type, connected to a storage vat 14 which communicates with a flow chest 16 feeding a paper web forming station. This station comprises a cloth 20 extending between two return rollers 22 and able to support the mix of water and fibrous raw materials, with progressive water extraction by vacuum.
The downstream end of the paper web forming station is connected to a pressing station, downstream of which a first impregnation station 26 is provided.
Downstream of the impregnation station there is a hot roller drying station 28 ensuring a constant paper web water content of between 15% and 65%, preferably 40%, followed by a compacting station 30 comprising pairs of rotating rollers 32, 34. The lower roller 32 is made of rubber and is rotated at a certain speed, while the upper roller 34 which rotates at higher speed is of steel, it presents a base roughness less than 1 and comprises a plurality of incisions extending in a circumferential direction. The following table shows the incision values in mm, with the range limits and optimum values being shown.
mm RANGE LIMITS OPTIMUM RANGE Distance A between 0.10-40 0.8-2.5 incisions Incision width B 0.02-2 0.05-4 Incision depth C <0.1 ≅0.05 Ratio A/B distance/width 0.12-800 2.2-20 Ratio B/C width/depth 0.5-20 1-8
The exit of the compaction station 30 is connected to a second drying station 36 which is connected to an impregnation or coating station 38, followed by a third drying station 40. At the exit from the drying station a glazing station 42 is provided, followed by a paper winding station 44.
The drying stations ensure a paper web moisture content between 4% and 15%, preferably 10%.
The plant of the invention also comprises a series of automatic controls ensuring correct implementation of the operative cycle and which will be described as they appear in the course of the following description of operation.
The operation of the plant of the invention will now be described with reference to the passages of the forming paper web through the successive stations.
Bales of fibrous raw material are fed to the kneader 2 at high density, together with the predetermined quantity of water, for their mixing. Herein the mix is kneaded, mixed with water and particular additives the purpose of which is to increase the ultimate tensile stress of the fibres, to homogenize the water/fibre mix and to give the obtained paper special characteristics.
The fibrous raw material consists of vegetable fibres which can be long cellulose fibres, short cellulose fibres or other fibres obtained from vegetation other than wood (cotton linters, hemp, flax, esparto, kenaf) or synthetic fibres (polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene, Lycra�).
By rotating the impeller 4 the fibrous raw material is progressively kneaded, the fibres maintaining their original length, and is intimately mixed with water and with the additives fed into the kneader. The additives can include starch, which is able to bind the fibres together and increase their untimate tensile stress, or carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), which is able to disperse the fibres and hence prevent their coagulation, or synthetic resins and/or latex, which bind the fibres of the mix together by forming a type of elastic bond.
A mix of fibre, water and additives with a dry content of about 15% leaves the kneader 2, this mix then being diluted and fed into the subsequent refining station 10, to be subjected to the action of a refining unit preferably comprising lava discs, which work the fibres substantially without cutting them, but hydrate them to give the mix particular characteristics. By this treatment the fibres are modified such as to facilitate their damming, with formation of a homogeneous continuous structure, essential for the characteristics which the finial product must present.
The degree of mix refining can be determined on the basis of objective parameters measured in � SR (Shopper Reagler); according to the present invention the mix leaving the refining treatment must present from 30� SR to 60� SR depending on the paper density to be obtained.
The different raw materials can be refined either along the same line or, preferably, along different lines.
On leaving the last refining station the mix, which as stated presents from 30� SR to 60� SR, is fed into the perforated ring refining unit operating at a density of 20%, the function of which is to hydrate the fibres, swell them and curl them. The mix is then fed into the storage vat 14 and from there into the flow chest 16, from which, with a dry content of about 0.5-1%, it is poured onto the underlying cloth of the paper web forming station 18.
Along the initial portion of this cloth the mix tends to progressively eliminate water firstly by gravity and then by suction, until it presents a dry content of about 18% at the cloth exit end.
The paper web leaving this station is passed into the station 24 for pressing between pressing rollers and felts, to lose water and attain a dry content of about 45%.
The paper web then passes to the first impregnation station 26, where it is treated with a solution of various additives the function of which is to improve the paper extensibility characteristics and/or to improve the production technology. This impregnation is preferably achieved with a spray device, but can also be achieved with other systems, for example by passing the forming paper web through tanks containing the impregnating solution. In any event the quantity of impregnant is controllable, with considerable advantages both in terms of cost of the substance used and in terms of exact determination of this substance.
The paper web impregnated in this manner is dried in the first drying station 28 to a dry content of about 50-70% by passage between two hot rollers or through a hot air tunnel, before being subjected to compaction treatment.
In passing from the pressing station 24 to the compacting station 30 the roller speed is adjusted such that the paper is subjected to a tension which provides a maximum longitudinal stretch compatible with its breakage resistance, in order to obtain a transverse contraction of the paper, providing a reserve for transverse extensibility.
The compaction, which takes place both in the longitudinal and transverse directions, is effected by passing the paper web between the pair of rollers 32, 34. In this manner the braking effect on the forming paper web during its passage between the two rollers, combined with the pressure between the two rollers and the material, determines a shortening as a result of the compaction and an increase in the density of the paper web, together with a series of compactions in the longitudinal direction, which extend transversely with various lengths and with a pattern related to the pattern of the incisions in the steel upper roller. The function of these incisions is to regularize and unify the length of the incisions and hence obtain at the roller exit a web which is more regular over the whole of its height, in the sense of presenting a uniform compaction distribution both in the longitudinal and in the transverse direction.
Although a roller is used having a very smooth surface (necessary to achieve better glazing) which could result in a loss of transverse extensibility, the incisions determine an accumulation of material in the transverse direction in correspondence with the incisions, to hence regain transverse extensibility.
It should be noted that in the known art, if the roughness of the steel roller is lessened, after a short time it tends to actually become smooth, resulting in a strong reduction in transverse extensibility and a product, the final characteristics of which are not constant.
In contrast the presence of the incisions, given their permanence even if the roller is worn, produces transverse extensibility which is constant with time.
On termination of the compaction stage, the paper is subjected to further drying in the station 30 to achieve a dry content of about 85% to 98%, preferably 95% which is necessary for the coating stage.
It should be noted that from the compacting station 30 to the exit of the drying station 36 the roller speed is maintained substantially constant in order not to induce any traction stress which would result in the compacted paper losing part of its longitudinal extensibility.
On its exit from the drying station 36 the paper is subjected to coating in the corresponding station, followed by drying, glazing, calendering and winding on the final roll 44.
The paper web obtained in this manner presents, in particular because of the refining, impregnation and compacting treatment, a high degree of mechanical strength, a longitudinal extensibility of at least 12% and a transverse extensibility of at least 9%.
From the aforegoing it is apparent that the method of the invention enables a paper to be obtained having greater rigidity, comparable to that of normal paper, and at the same time a degree of smoothness of less than 3000 on the traditional Bendsen scale. This degree of smoothness results in better printability, better adhesion for producing combinations, and more uniform thickness. Its degree of smoothness and rigidity also enable the paper to be subjected to surface treatment, for example coating and/or other surface treatments.
Such a degree of smoothness also enables subsequent glazing to be done at higher pressures, so optimizing printing and rigidity.
The glazed paper obtained in this manner can be associated with an impermeabilizing agent or with a sheet of impermeable material to obtain a combination paper.

Buildings In Colonial Style, Lima
17 Reviews
17 Reviews
Walking around Central Lima you will see numerous examples of very ornate balconies. Most of them were built during the 17th and 18th century by the Spanish. They were built mainly for ceremoniall purposes and in the colonial style that was popular in Europe and South America at that time. Some of the latter balconies were built as a place to relax and enjoy the evening. Many of them have been painted to sharply contrast with the facade of the main house.
Casa de Osambela Oquendo is a 40-room mansion that was finished in 1807. It was renovated in 2003, and is used for various cultural activities. I was able to visit part of the house.
There are 3 floors, plus a Mirador (rooftop tower) where the owner could watch activity in the harbor. The staircases grew increasingly steep and narrow, and I wasn't sure I wanted to do the last one. I did get up to the roof, though, and what a contrast to the elegant house! (See 3d photo.)
What exactly is Colonial Spanish architecture? I don't know. I looked it up and found that
"...by the end of the 16th century..most of the buildings.., including the cathedrals, were built for military purposes and were consequently massive and plain. This was a period of transition from Spanish Gothic to Spanish Renaissance, with many buildings reminiscent of the plateresque style, with contrasting bare walls and ornamental doorways
During most of the 17th and 18th cent. the baroque style held sway, and in the 18th cent. the sumptuous Churrigueresque ornamentation of Spain was exported to the colonies. In addition to employing the large forms and curving lines of the traditional European baroque, Spanish colonial buildings maintained the contrast between decorated and plain surfaces of the earlier period."
So I guess it is plain walls and ornamented doorways, windows and balconies.
The city hall is across from the cathedral on the main square. It is a yellow building with colonial wooden balconies and inside is a collection of Peruvian paintings and photographs, as well as the historical documents of the Founding of Lima on and the 1821 Independence of Peru. There is also a library. Next to it on the square is the headquarters of the Club de la Union. It looked like there were restaurants under the arches along the square where people were eating (photo 3)
Around the Plaza de Armas you'll e able to find many interesting buildings. One of them is the Casa de Correos y Telégrafos (post office). This magnificent building today hosts shops where you can find different items, and it's in any case to walk around if you have the time.
Near the Plaza de Armas, by the corner where the Pizarro monument is, you will find this beautiful building wit an inner arcade with many shops, apart from the mailboxes, stamps and so. There are even bars and souvenir shops in here and, even though you are not buying anythin, is a good place to walk around.
This wide pedestrian street is the main avenue in Lima, at least for tourists. It goes from San Martin square to Plaza de Armas and is all day and night busy and crowded (well, the photo was taken at 7am on a sunday!).
There are many shops, bars and even old colonial buildings along the street. Is the place for souvenirs in case you are looking for that.
Lima's Plaza de Armas, or Main Square, is the heart of the Lima and the starting place for touring its nearby monuments. The Cathedral, Municipal Palace and many examples of colonial architecture surround the plaza.
Típica mansión limeña del siglo XVIII, que perteneció primero a la familia Rada luego a la familia Goyeneche.
La fachada es de composición asimétrica, ostentando dos balcones de cajón y una portada de piedra de dos cuerpos.
Actualmente pertenece al Banco de Crédito del Perú
Su verdadero nombre es Casa de Esquivel y Jarava. Fue construida a fines del siglo XVI, habiendo sufrido varias transformaciones, siempre manteniendo su típica portada de piedra. Actualmente es sede del Tribunal Constitucional.
El antiguo edificio universitario fue el lugar donde los jesuitas, desde 1604 hasta 1767, albergaron el noviciado de San Antonio Abad, para convertirse luego en el Colegio Real de San Carlos y tras la independencia, en sede universitaria.
Mansión construída por un comerciante español, Martín de Osambela, en la primera década del siglo XIX. A mediados del siglo XX la adquirió José de la Asunción Oquendo y posteriormente el Estado, albergando desde 1985 el Centro Cultural Garcilaso de la Vega. Se distingue de las demás casonas por disponer de una fachada de tres plantas, coronada por un mirador, y porque no tiene los típicos dos balcones volados, sino que seis. Se dice que desde el mirador el dueño miraba sus embarcaciones en el puerto de Callao.
We saw so many beautiful buildings while driving around the city. This one was in the historic area near one of the plazas, and was just one of many in the neighborhood.
Teatro Colon opened in 1914, and is one of the oldest theaters in Lima. It is closed for renovation, and will be a cultural venue when it reopens.
Lima has a nice collection of Colonial style building in the center. This makes it a great place to spend a day wandering about and visiting the museums and such.

But just imagine if Einstein got high and sipped juice
Broke rules, got pussy, beat up rookies on Pro Tools
And I just took a number two
And ain't this track number two?
Lyric Meaning
One of the best ways to provoke thought is to corrupt a figure people "worship" and remind us that they were human too. "Would Einstein survive in this era?" is the question Soul proposes to his listeners. Regardless, Ab-Soul invokes the idea that if he were to, he'd be him, a.k.a Soul Brother #2, right after Pete Rock.
Notice he said "call his ass Soul Brother #2"? To take a number two is slang for "to take a shit", and that's exactly what Ab used "Track Two" to do to the competition. It's the shit, or in other words: really good.

South Sound 20's & 30's Crowd Message Board › Concerts
Portland, OR
I was wondering if any of you guys was interested in going to concerts. I know they can be expensive, but sometimes you don't go to a concert simply because you don't have someone to go with (especially if most of your friends don't have your same taste in music ... or have kids already). Anyhow, check out these two concerts coming to this area:
Muse, Silversun Pickups
Friday, April 2nd @ the Key Arena
Nickelback, Breaking Benjamin, Shinedown, and Sick Puppies
Friday, May 7th @ the Tacoma Dome
So let's use this thread to post your opinions and also for proposing any other concert you might be interested in.
Let me know what you think.
|A former member
I've been going to concerts alone for awhile lol. But being that I don't meet people easy (I'm shy) the few I do know, aren't into rock like I am. Last 2 years I've been routine with Mayhem Festival. Did Mayhem and Crue last year. Then a few other concerts previously.
I usually avoid the ones in the Seattle area, I despise driving there. Went to see NIN at Key Arena and vowed if I ever go back I am not driving. But I'm up for going to either one of those...though the Key Arena one someone else will have to deal with the traffic
Portland, OR
Thanks for the reply Lea, you could give us some tips about the concert scene in this area .
Sweet, how was that concert? I agree on the driving, last december I didn't go to the Metallica concert 'cause I was too lazy to drive up there. But maybe I'll drive if people come along lol.

Yeah, concerts would be fun! I'd be interested in going to both of those. I have one suggestion as well - anyone heard of a band called The Senate? They're from Seattle originally, and they're a rock band with two guitars and a bass (not a bass guitar, but the kind of bass you'd find in an orchestra). They're on iTunes, so you can preview some of their stuff and see if you like their style.
Anyway, they're playing Saturday, February 6th at the Triple Door in Seattle.
|A former member
Visually, it was the best concert I've been to (course they rocked their songs too). Not sure what it was, but they had string type things hanging down like a curtain that played video to the music. At one point it was just Trent with a mic, and his face was on the screen as he sang. Can't describe it, it was just badass.
I drive a stick, so getting off the Freeway and making it to the concert on stop and go traffic killed my legs. Add to that loosing my way to the parking garage after, and getting lost to the freeway!
Don't know to much about the concert scene though, I just routinely check Ticketmaster and Live Nation for upcoming events.
|A former member
I love Nickelback. I would definitely go. They usually sell out fast so once someone knows they are going on sale we need to get together and purchase tickets. It might be easy just to give one person the money and then they can purchase the tickets to ensure we all get seats together. I have a ways to drive so even if its half way I would like to carpool. Gina
Portland, OR
Yeah, I also think the easiest way would be to give the money to one person in order to get the seats together. I could drive... I can fit 4 people in my car =)

How come I didn't realize there was a freakin' message board? I would love to go to concerts--actually going to David Rawlings Machine with a couple friends at Oly Film Society next week. Think there are still tickets left (open seating) if anyone wants to join. I often go for the more folk-y shows, but I heart arena rock sometimes. :) Saw Radiohead (my FAVORITE) and Pearl Jam recently-- I would definitely be up for the Muse/Silversun Pickups show! I'm going to post this on the noodlist list, too so Carlos can read it twice. :)
Portland, OR
I'm going to post this on the noodlist list, too so Carlos can read it twice. :)
and I'm not gonna post my reply on this one so you have to go to the other board to read it
Portland, OR
tickets for these two events are on sale already:
For Muse and Silversun Pickups:
Seating chart:
For Nickelback, Breaking Benjamin, Shinedown and Sick puppies (this concert will be bad ass ):
Seating chart:
Let me know how close to the stage you prefer to be for both concerts and if you prefer to buy seat tickets or just general admission tickets. I have no preference, but for the nickelback concert, I would suggest to get seat tickets; it will probably get crazy at the GA floor

Wildcats' Wecker among POY favorites

You know, they call us "experts" here at ESPN.com. I don't like that, but I'm not sure what they could say instead. How about "person who watches basketball all the time and isn't exactly doing a lot else with her life?"
That would take up more space and not necessarily seem very alluring ... although I'm not sure that "expert" does much more than set you up like a clown figure in the amusement-park games section, to be knocked over by anyone with a decent arm and a strong will to carry ...

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Added Lidstrom: "I think I'm more vocal, especially in the room, maybe than I was in the past as assistant captain. I try to talk to some of the younger players a little bit more, encourage them and try to help them out a little bit. The same thing on the back end, too, with my defensive partners that you want to be a little bit more vocal and try and help them out."

AP's Matthew Lee grills State Department's Victoria Nuland when the US decided to cut UNESCO funding. No claws retracted here.
November 2, 2011 5:07 by p.deleon
The US pledges $70 million a year to UNESCO, the UN's cultural agency. It was due to give $60 million this November, which it has now withheld as response to its disapproval of UNESCO granting Palestine full membership.
Only 14 countries, including the US, voted against the membership while 52 abstained and 107 votes for the rather symbolic approval of the Palestine membership.
What does Palestine gain from its full UNESCO membership? Having been on observer status since 1974, it gains more access to other UN agencies. It also now enables Palestine to register sites like the Church of Nativity in UNESCO's World Heritage list.
Israel voted against the measure, as did the US, Canada and several European countries, including Germany. The UK abstained, while France voted in favour.
Discussing the US' move to cancel its UNESCO funding, Phyllis Bennis, fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies said, "What we're seeing there is really a classic example of the one percent, where most of our interests do not lie, controlling the 99 percent, the one percent being Israel and its supporters in the United States saying that the US should take an incredibly drastic position, ending its support of UNESCO, which of course eventually will mean the US will lose its vote in UNESCO, and potentially, similarly, in other UN agencies along the way."
One of the videos about the US pulling its UNESCO funding is this five and a half minute clip of AP journalist Matthew Lee grilling US State Department Victoria Nuland about the decision to withhold the funds.
In her speech, Nuland said the Palestine vote was "regrettable, premature and undermines the prospect of getting where we want to go."
And that's what gets Lee started. Here's the video link for your viewing pleasure.
Our favourite line from Lee?
"How exactly does it exacerbate the environment, if it changes nothing on the ground, unlike, say, construction of settlements? It changes nothing on the ground. It gives Palestine membership in UNESCO, which was a body that the US was so unconcerned about for many years that it just wasn't even a member."
It's our love for reading between the lines that made us smile throughout watching this video. We'd have to say kudos to Nuland for holding her own but multiple pats on Lee's back for even just creating that public statement that most people in the public eye know but only say in whispers. After all, isn't that what real journalism is about?
4 Comments
Kudos to Matthew Lee for asking the questions on everyone's mind.
One can't have it both ways – either one wants the Palestinian state, or they don't.
For a country that promotes democratic principles with every utterance, its hard to stomach the sickening hypocracy of a nation that then refuses to accept the majority decision. It's once again a case of "we support democratic processes so long as the result is one we agree with".
Excellent job Lee!
The problem with the US foreign policy is that it's not a clear line and full of hypocracies!
Think you'd be hard pressed to find any nation that doesn't practice hypocrisy in their foreign policy.

Sri Lanka giving economic bribes to international community - JVP
Mon, Feb 4, 2013, 09:13 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Feb 04, Colombo: Sri Lanka's Marxist party Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) says the government is engaged in offering economic bribes to members of the international community in order to overcome the pressure posed by them.
JVP Propaganda Secretary and parliamentarian Vijitha Herath says the government has only temporary solutions and is trying to remain in power at the expense of the country.
He has explained that whenever there are issues raised by the international community, the government tries to silence them by giving economic bribes.
"When the government mooted the impeachment process, it did not think about the implications it would have. However, after the matter has now become an issue and the UNHRC sessions are to commence in Geneva, the government is now looking at finding a temporary solution for that as well. When the government carried out the impeachment process and increased the detention period of a suspect arrested without a warrant, it forgot about human rights and the UNHRC," Herath has said.
"Now Minister G.L. Peiris has made a sudden visit to India and signed various agreements with them. He has said the government is committed to implementing the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. All this has been done with the aim of getting India's support during the UNHRC sessions," he has added.
According to Herath, the government would offer more to the foreign countries in future.

Exceeded Expectations for Business Trip
The staff were extremely courteous, and so professional! The room was well serviced, clean and contemporary. The location was so beautiful. All staff were seemed to be empowered to please the customer. The food was wonderful, and room service was
timely, and maintained the same standards as the restaurants! It was actually delivered hot! Even the parking and transportation assistant staff went the extra mile. You really could not ask for a better experience.
Summer Getaway
Hotel was packed whenwe arrived, but staff worked through it nicely..The street car system across the street is fantastice..easy ride to Ybor city. Lots of activites withing easy walking distance. We would definitely come back!
Great Hotel Experience
My wife and I were in Tampa to see some nearby Spring Training Baseball. The hotel amazed us from the time we entered. Everything about this property was top notch. Great pool, great bar at the pool, great food in the restaurant, great room, and
the hotel even has it own UPS store too. We enjoyed staying here and hope to again.
If going to Ybor City it is only a short taxi drive away or you can take the tram which stops right outside the hotel.
Visiting a family member at Tampa General Hospital
This hotel is the closest (20-minute walk or 10-minute cab ride) to Tampa General Hospital. The hotel accomodations were excellent; my only complaint is that the wi-fi Internet access was not free. There are places to eat both in the hotel and
nearby; a city trolley stop is in front of the hotel. Cab fare to or from the airport is a flat $25.00. I didn't have time to use all of the available amenities, such as the pool and fitness room. I will be staying there again in the near future.

Location perfect for convention center
Not a great hotel. Staff was nice and helpful, but otherwise very basic. Room was not totally clean, bathrooms need work.
Location great if you need to be a the convention center. Walking distance.
Beautiful hotel
Great stay!! Y boyfriend and hisfather wer very comfortable.
Slept Like a baby
The rooms were very well appointed. Bedding and pillows were extremely comfortable, I slept excellent. The room had a balcony with an extraordinary view of the city, especially at night. The sports bar had great food and lots of TV's for Football
viewing. The pool was nice, with a bar on sight. Also available was ordering food at the pool, which was great for us who love to stay in the sun. The trolly, was right across the street and for $2.50 drove you into downtown and to Ybor City , that was very convenient. All in all, we had a comfortable stay and would definately go back.
The Rack Room in Soho on Platt Street has awesome sushi varieties sure to please and very good bar food. Pool tables and ping pong and lots of specials to enjoy a great night of fun.
Night Before the Cruise
We used this hotel to stay overnight before getting on the cruise ship at the Tampa Terminal. It was one of the best hotels I have ever been to and would stay there again if I were going on another cruise. Beautiful and you can take a short street
car ride to Ybor City and dine at the delicious Columbia restaurant as well as shop. Loved it and the convenience of being so close to the cruise ship was very helpful.
Dine at Columbia and get the 1905 Salad. Delicious-decor in the restaurant is beauitful
Prepare to relax
The staff was great, from the valet attendants to the housekeeping staff! I was completely satisfied with my stay! I'll be back!
If you're on a budget, eat some place else!
Awesome Weekend Getaway!
Upon arrival at the hotel, the valet parking and front desk were very courteous, especially being it was 1:30 in the morning! The hotel was extremely nice and in a great location. We got such a great deal on the hotel located right in downtown
Tampa. We went down for a few concerts that was very close to the hotel. The only downfall is that there is no self-parking and you have to valet for $13/day, however for the deal we got on the rate even with the parking it was still less expensive then other area hotels and well worth it!
For breakfast in the morning, you could always eat at the hotel. But there is a great place called First Watch about 2-3min away from the hotel.

My husband's not attracted to me now that I'm pregnant. What can I do?
I'm six months pregnant and my husband never wants to make love anymore. He says he's afraid it'll hurt the baby, but I think he's just not attracted to me right now. I've tried to reassure him that the baby is safe but that doesn't help, and I'm tired of begging for sex. What can I do? And will he want me again after our baby's born?

I am going through the same thing. At 36 weeks I feel fat and undesirable. Before I got pregnant we had sex almost every night. Now I have to beg to get it once a week. My husband says, "Pregnant sex is weird" What makes me feel worse is when I checked the history on the computer the other day I found that my husband had spent a substantial amount of time looking at internet porn. When I confronted him he appologized and said he shouldn't have done it. It just made me feel like he'd rather masturbate than have sex with a big, nasty pregnant woman. I worry that after watching the birth it may be an image that sticks in his head and he still won't want me. We used to have great sex. I miss it.posted 09/27/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
It is so frustrating to me right now, all I want is to feel that intimacy with my husband. I also thought at one point that he was cheating on me and then I came to the realization that he is just afraid to hurt me or the baby. It seemed like before we got pregnant, all we wanted to do was have sex, now it is rather the opposite. I have to practically beg. I told him, at one point when I get bigger, he is going to regret not making love now.posted 09/19/2005 by bonacker7
Ok, first, if your man flat out tells you your unattractive.. he's an @ss. I asked my boyfriend even before my pregnancy that porn not be an issue, I don't like the idea that my boyfriend looks at those girls and then wants to have sex at a later date, does it not make you wonder who he's thinking of when you do have sex? Porn is not an option, if they are the ones that don't want to have sex because of the way YOU look. then he can just deal, your pregnant with his child. Women need to put down the line that pron is not an alternative, it's degrading and disrespectful of uss. Next time they start looking just ask him how he would feel if that was his daughter in the magazine and some guy was whacking off to her picture? Every girl in those magazines was a baby, every girl in those magazines scraped their knees as children, and now our husbands are looking at them with those thoughts? No. Porn is not an option. Yes Oral sex is fine but like everything it's as good to recieve as it is to give, I wan't my boyfriend to feel loved aswell, and I also fear he might turn to another women because of my body but I know he won't because of the fact that I know he loves me. He will never tell me I'm fat or ugly, nor would he even allow me, out of respect for my person, to give him oral sex while he looks at "sexier" women.posted 11/30/2004 by Kitten_69
Anyone out there have a husband that tells you "do me a favor, keep your figure"? What kind of thing is that to say to a pregnant woman? How can I keep my figure - I'm pregnant The two don't go together - its part of nature. I know he fears I'll get "fat" - and he's right - in a way. I can do what I can to minimize the excess, but it isn't healthy not to gain weight (25-35lbs) and I was mostly on bed rest for the first trimester and gained 8 lbs already - but there is reason for it -and I don't want to feel paranoid - already feeling unattractive. How can I help him see the beauty in the pregnancy - and keep from feeling so hurt by his comments. If he said, do me a favor, take good care of yourself and the baby - be careful... that is one thing - but to say, do me a favor and keep your figure... is another. I'm hurt and angry and don't want to be. Any advice?posted 02/17/2004 by MtLady
I'm nine months. my husband has been as exited as ever (relatively )up until a a few weeks ago.One of his idiot (sorry ,misinformed) friends told him people arent supposed to have sex during the last trimester at all. Luckily this was back in the second trimester. Well i set him straight and things were going fine until recently, he's kind of been avoiding intimacy. I brought it up once in the shower(we share on the weekends, always have)and he though i was crazy and said it had nothing to do with how i look. i'm apretty petite woman, always have been and he's always tried to encourage me to gain a little weight since he likes a little pudge, even way before i got pregnant. But now i feel not only like an incubator with legs and an opinion, but also as if i kind of repel him. He is like i said usually really intersted, and usually initiates everything. I've studied midwifery and am an apprenticed herbalist, so i know quite a lot about pregnancy. One day i obliviously mentioned how naturopathic practicioners will sometimes encourage sex to bring on labor if it is stalled. Semen is a natural cervical foftener and nipple stimulation encourages uterine contractions,(i didn't tell him that part,this is just to maybe enlighten whoever may read this).well now he's afraid to caress me for too long even, and since i brought it up i feel like he's kind of trying to be tender just every now and again to keep me quiet.I know i can still turn him on, but i don't want to be the one who gets pushed away. I've never been much of an initiator. my normally great image of my pregant body has turned into "am i gross?". Just for the record, for anyone who's pondering this sensitive question, sex(intercourse)is just fine up until the water breaks.(for most non high risk pregnancies,so consult your doctor or midwife). Not only that, but it is very beneficial emotionally and spiritually for the mother to be, and as we all know: happy mommy usually = happy baby. So dads,be a little more tender and don't allow stupid hangups and uneducated misconceptions to hurt your family and remember, after baby is born(vaginally) there's no nookie for six weeks, so you'll see who has the upper hand then(no pun intended. well maybe alittle).posted 02/09/2004 by Lil'wolf
He still loves you and i bet he still is attracted to you. Some guys really do think they will hurt their unborn child and dont want to take any chances. Remember that he is having a baby too and that you are both looking at it from different places, be understanding like you want him to be with you.posted 07/26/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I am six months pregnant as well and I must say I never knew being pregnant could have such a huge effect on our intimate life as husband and wife. What's worse is that we are pregnant with a honeymoon baby so there hasn't been that wonderful honeymoon period between us. We are both under a ton of stress which is probably the reason we do not have sex anymore. It still makes me feel so insecure because my husband is extremely health and weight conscious. I am worried that if I do not go back to my 94 pound pre- baby bod right away that he'll never be attracted to me again. It also make me feel so sad because this baby was no accident, in fact we planned every aspect of us getting pregnant. I do not regret my choice to start a family right away but it makes me wonder if perhaps we went about it much too quickly? I never knew that my husband could be so cold and shallow. I hoped this experience would bring us closer but in fact it's done the opposite.posted 01/22/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
At 18 weeks, my husband and I have been less physical. He talked to be about the whole thing and stated that it wasn't that he didn't want sex, or that he though the baby would know. It's that he wants to hold and love me, and our child. He feels that the hugs and kisses will be transfered to him better than intercourse. After the explanation, I felt loads better. I don't know if this helps any of you, but it sure helped me!posted 02/11/2008 by MiaOffermann
WOW! I am so glad I am not alone! My husband has not been able to "perform" three times now and I am only 8 weeks. I am afraid this is going to get much worse...posted 02/11/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
Hi All, I am over 6 Month pregnant, and my husband isn't attracted to me at all since the moment he found out I am pregnant. In those months he is wasnt able to perform during sex, but that is not the worst thing. He tells me I am lazy, because i sleep more than usual. He blames me for not lifting heavy stuff and tells me I should do something about my figure. He doesnt allow me to shop for the baby or talk about pregnancy because it always ends up in a fight. He was even willing to leave me when finding out i was pregnant, a few days before our marriage. I am working fulltime, in search of better job, and at the moment I have several offers, However learning new stuff evreyday is exhausting.He doesnt help but makes things more difficult for me. he waits for his food infront of the TV. And he has a habbit of blaming me for evreything. Yesterday after I saw on the computer he is watching cheap porn. For them those attention seeking whores are more intresting than his hard working wifeposted 08/12/2015 by a BabyCenter Member

The European Union, which has spearheaded efforts to curb global warming, is set to adopt a change of focus in response to concerns over costs and the impact on companies in economically depressed Europe.
Under the change, the European Uniln will prioritize the supply of energy at affordable prices over cutting greenhouse gas emissions which impose burdens on industries, in a turnaround of the region's energy policy, an EU official said Saturday.
EU leaders will decide on the shift in energy policy at a meeting Wednesday. The change reflects requests from businesses in the 27-member zone amid the prolonged economic slump triggered by the eurozone sovereign debt crisis, the official said.
A draft conclusion of the EU leaders' meeting obtained by Kyodo News said, "Against the backdrop of high pressure on Europe's competitiveness and increasing energy demand from major economies, the EU's energy policy must ensure the uninterrupted supply of households and companies at affordable and competitive prices."
The draft said investments in new and intelligent energy infrastructure are "vital for jobs and growth and will help enhance competitiveness." The regional body calls for "a predictable climate and energy framework post-2020," according to the paper.
The European Union remains committed to emissions reduction targets under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, under which it pledged to trim its greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent below 1990 levels by 2020.
"The European Commission is already in 'do nothing' mode on climate change, and it will obviously put off a decision on ambitious targets," the official said on the European Union's post-2020 goals.
The change in policy comes as some European companies are moving to shift operations out of the region to avoid increasing costs to meet the emissions-cut goals, and amid a decline in emission trading launched in the region in 2005.
Discussions on countermeasures against global warming have also lost momentum as the European Union focuses on steps to boost the economy ahead of the European Parliament election scheduled for May next year.
