House of Blues, New Orleans
14 Reviews
14 Reviews
the new orleans house of blues is one of several restaurants and entertainment venues located around the country. the new orleans house of blues is combination restaurant and nightclub that has a interesting "creole", "voodoo" decor. on sundays the house of blues is famous for it's gospel brunch. for information on concert tickets, times, and scheduled acts see the attached web site.
Dress Code: casual.
My friends and I had the opportunity to get tickets to see Henry Rollins at the House of Blues in New Orleans while we were there for a few days. The show was great, and the venue itself nothing short of amazing. There were two floors in the music hall, we watched the show from the upper level. There are bars on both levels, so there was no need to leave your level for a drink and no real bad places to stand to watch the show. For a chain establishment, this HOB felt unique and much like New Orleans, right down to the Voodoo Garden, which was very cool.
House of Blues is a corporation with multiple locations. It is a poorly run business with NO customer service. I booked LOS LONELY BOYS Tickets on the internet for House of Blues New Orleans. Both House of Blues (HOB) and Ticketmaster websites are unorganized. It took way too long to process the order. OK, no big deal, but the website said to arrive at 7 pm for the show. I called House of Blues 6 times, had to try every option on the automated phone system and still couldn't find out when the show actually started. No one will answer the phone. (It's a corporation). Had to stand in line freezing for 45 mins waiting for security to FRISK AND SCAN (like the airport) everyone and Security ain't friendly. You're treated like cattle. Then had to STAND UP FROM 7PM until 9:30 or so (2.5 hours) when the show started so House of Blues could sell more drinks. They pack the people in and unless you get a limited number of good spots - YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. You can watch the show on an overhead monitor. (Live Music?) Drinks are pricey, the bartenders aren't friendly, (remember, it's a corporation) but the above isn't what really chapped my ass. What did really chap my ass is the sound. This venue has to have the worst accoustics I've ever heard. Los Lonely Boys is a killer band. Hispanic Blues band. Think Carlos Santana crossed with a good blues player and harmony too. Average audience age would be 35-45. The music was so loud I had to put napkins in my ears. I saw several people putting their fingers in their ears. That was last night and my ears are still ringing.
If you're going to New Orleans SKIP the House of Blues, buy the album, listen to it on your hi-fi at home, walk the streets and dig the GREAT FREE MUSIC in the small bars, drop tips in the jar and RELAX.
Dress Code: None
Went here a few years ago for Mardi Gras. Saw the Neville Brothers play - was a great experince. Standing room only. Main floor is wide open with wood floor. Was able to be right next to the stage. There is a balcony. Met Drew Carey at house of blue - he was king of mardi gras that year. Initially he was in the balcony - and threw us his beads. Then later moved down to the floor and hung out with us next to the stage. Overall a great place to see good live music. You never know what will happen in the Big Easy!
Dress Code: Casual
While I still prefer Tipitina's mostly because of its local history and because of so many great memories, I have to give a nod to the House of Blues which has become a popular venue for local and guest musicians alike.
It's a fun place for a Sunday Gospel Brunch (although I still prefer the older, non-chain institutions like Arnaud's, Bennan's or Commander's).
While New Orleans is known for jazz & blues & zydeco music, the majority of French Quarter bars feature top 40 / dance cover bands. Which goes along with alcohol quite well - also in abundance. The House of Blues offers national acts you might not have the opportunity to see in your home city & is a nice break from the sightseeing & Bourbon St. crawling. The night we visited HOB, Gavin DeGraw was playing in the Parish to a packed room. We opted for the Psychedelic Furs (photo) & the Alarm in the main hall, because how often is that ever going to happen!?! Great time - cheap drinks (in relation to everywhere else) - great food - excellent venue!
Don't go to maison de bourbon unless you're up for some classical jazz and ten dollar pina coladas which you have pay with cash. House of blues has blues rock, happy hour you buy two beers get one free.
Dress Code: Its a rocker's place baby, anything goes.
Well, it's been another great night of music in New Orleans, Jazzfest is winding down this weekend and the city's bars and clubs are filled with local, regional, national and international talent.
Earlier this week, I had introduced several friends of mine to a band called "Gomez" from the UK. Surprisingly enough, one of those friends spotted "Gomez" as one of the bands playing at the House of Blues this weekend. Naturally, we got tickets, drank lots of gin-n-tonics before, during and after the show. "Gomez" sounded great and the NOLA House of Blues was cooler than I had anticipated.
Dress Code: Like Kurt Cobain said, "come as you are..."
There are always great up and coming artists playing at the HOB. Its a wonderful and intimate venue. I have seen Ice T (he was like a used up pimp) to Evan Dando to Limp Bizkit to Mathew Sweet to The Jesus and the Mary Chain to Kitty here.
Out of all the venues that I have been to across the US, I think that HOB in NOLA is the best one.
Well, as the name implies, this is a great place to listen to some blues music. They also have a restaurant and on Sunday mornings, they feature a Gospel Brunch with uplifting gospel music and a southern style brunch.
Dress Code: Come as you are.
It features both international acts and local musicians. The club is HUGE. The Southern folk art that covers the walls is for sales. Show times usually start around 9 pm and you must purchase tickets in advance.
Dress Code: YOU DO HAVE TO BE DRESSED, UNLIKE BURBON STREET.......
Nightlife in New Orleans is great and dangerous at the same time. It was really different to walk at night when crowds of people are around, but that's only one narrow street...
Dress Code: Beeds!!!: ))
This club books big-name, world-famous touring artists. I saw Etta James perform here. It gets very crowded early, so allow plenty of time. The Cajun food's good, too.
Dress Code: Smart casual.

Construction of El Paso's Downtown baseball stadium may have set a speed record for a Triple-A baseball stadium, officials with the companies that built it believe.
Construction of the $74 million, city-owned stadium, home of the San Diego Padres-affiliated El Paso Chihuahuas, who play in the Triple-A Pacific Coast League, took just under 12 months.
It began with the construction of a retaining wall on May 6, 2013, and ended, except for some cosmetic work, with the opening of the stadium on April 28 — nine days shy of one year. That time doesn't include the several weeks needed to remove rubble from the April 14 implosion of the former City Hall located at the site.
The next fastest construction time was about 13 1/2 months for both the Round Rock Express' 8,631-seat stadium, opened in April 2000, in the Austin suburb of Round Rock, and the Aces Ballpark for the Reno Aces in Reno, Nev., opened in April 2009, according to a list of 19 Triple-A baseball parks built in the last 28 years. The list was compiled from various sources by Mark Gudenas, vice president of corporate communications for CF Jordan Construction.
It built the stadium in a partnership with Indianapolis-based Hunt Construction Group, which has built several Major League Baseball and NFL stadiums. Hunt Construction Group is not tied to Hunt Companies of El Paso, whose CEO, Woody Hunt, is part of the Chihuahuas' ownership group.
"I don't think we could have built it any faster than we did. That's about as fast as we could go," said Paul Bauer, executive vice president of commercial operations for CF Jordan. The company last August reformed as Jordan Foster Construction, but continues to build projects started before the reorganization as CF Jordan.
Mark McCaskey, construction manager for Hunt Construction, said he's been involved with construction of two other similar venues in the 15 years he's worked for the company.
"The quickest prior to this was 14 months" for a spring-training stadium for the Philadelphia Phillies in Clearwater, Fla., McCaskey said. " A more normal time frame is 13 to 14 months" for this type of stadium, he said.
Southwest University Park has 7,400 seats, including seats in 23 luxury, upper-level box suites, reported Brad Taylor, the Chihuahuas' general manager. Another 618 people can sit on the grass berm and stand along rails ringing the stadium, which makes 8,018 an official sellout, he said. However, with other standing areas and spaces at two clubhouse buildings in the outfield, the stadium capacity grows. The stadium record so far is 9,859 fans at last Saturday's game. It may be able to hold "10,000 and change," Taylor said.
The unofficial construction record does not include a host of other minor league stadiums built for lower levels of the minor leagues and independent leagues. That includes Cohen Stadium, built for the former Double-A El Paso Diablos. The 9,765-seat stadium in Northeast El Paso opened June 13, 1990, which was about a year from the start of construction in the summer of 1989. An exact construction-start date was not immediately available Tuesday.
However, Cohen Stadium opened with portions of the facility still under construction, including some seating areas, the teams' dressing rooms and the Diablos' offices, recalled Jim Paul, who owned the Diablos at that time. The move into the stadium before it was completed was needed for the team's financial health, he said.
"It took the rest of the season to complete everything. We moved into our offices in late October (of 1990)," Paul said.
Paul said he was impressed with the speed that the Downtown stadium was built. It was more complex construction than done at Cohen, which has a much simpler design, he said.
"To get a stadium like that," with the steel structures, and amenities built in just under a year was "nothing short of a miracle," Paul said.
CF Jordan's Bauer said some cosmetic work was being done at the stadium in the last two weeks, including finishing the brick facade on the right-centerfield building. But all the seats were open and all the stadium amenities were completed by the April 28 opening, he said.
Hunt Construction's McCaskey said more than 1,400 construction workers built the stadium. About 600 workers were there at one time toward the end of construction, he said.
The total hours needed to build the stadium were crammed into a shorter period by extending work days and working on weekends, he said.
"Everyone was working their butts off," McCaskey said.

The close-coupled pipe mill block includes three large and three small MPM housings, complete with hydraulic gap control capsules. The committee was then treated to a complete tour of V&M Star's facility. The second day of the meeting began with a very informative presentation by Dave Giancola, maintenance manager of V&M Star Youngstown, on the upgrade to their continuous caster machine. The continuous caster upgrade included: structural repairs, increased casting tower floor space, engineered utility and service routings, automation, operating pulpit and casting technological equipment replacement. The PCMTC session layout for AISTech was reviewed. The need for an entry-level-type training seminar was discussed. The consensus was to have each subsequent meeting focus on a specific topic or aspect of project management. The PCMTC members could then market the meeting to those most interested in the topic. The committee reviewed the Project Excellence Award, which was presented to Neal Fenton of Latrobe Specialty Steel for their VIM/VAR project during the Pittsburgh Member Chapter meeting on March 1. The PCMTC discussed the nominations for leadership for the coming year. The elections took place at the AISTech meeting in May.
The Project & Construction Management Technology Committee (PCMTC) held a meeting in Burlington, Ont., Canada, on 26–27 Oct 2009. The committee chair, Tom Zacharewicz of ArcelorMittal Dofasco Inc., opened the meeting by welcoming everyone to the meeting and asked all the attendees to introduce themselves. Ken Buker of CDMG volunteered to take the meeting minutes. Mr. Zacharewicz reviewed the AIST Anti-Trust Guidelines. The 2009 Steel Mill Fatality Report was reviewed. The PCMTC chose abstracts for AISTech 2010 and arranged them into sessions. Tom Sloan of General Physics Corp. reviewed the selection process and nominated a project for the 2009 Project Excellence Award. The committee approved the recommendation. The next PCMTC meeting, which will focus on contract strategies and training, is scheduled for 25 Mar 2010, in Boardman, Ohio, with a tour of V&M Star's facility.
The Project and Construction Management Technology Committee (PCMTC) met on 5 May at AISTech 2009 in St. Louis, Mo. Tom Zacharewicz of ArcelorMittal Dofasco started the meeting by welcoming everyone. Ken Buker of Continental Design volunteered to take the meeting minutes. The previous meeting minutes from the teleconference on March 10 were reviewed and approved. The meeting attendees noted that a good Project Management 101 training session is still a need in the industry. The session should focus on topics that a young employee with little PM experience needs to know to successfully manage a project. It was suggested that the training session should focus more on project execution as opposed to project planning. It was agreed that the meeting attendees will each develop a tentative outline for the training session. Once developed, the training session could coincide with AISTech 2010 in Pittsburgh as part of the technical sessions or as a standalone Specialty Training Conference. Tom Sloan of General Physics Corp. explained that three submissions have been received for the Project Excellence Award. A subcommittee was selected to review the submissions, with the goal of selecting the winner and presenting the award at a Member Chapter meeting this fall. The PCMTC mission statement was reviewed and approved by those in attendance. The statement reads, "To improve the implementation, safety, and start-up of steel industry projects via improved project and construction management techniques. The Project and Construction Management Technology Committee shall provide opportunities for publication, training, technology exchange, and networking to personnel serving the steel industry as producers, suppliers, contractors, and consultants." The PCMTC established the following objectives for the coming year: develop a training session for young project managers and increase PCMTC membership and activity, particularly among owners. A plaque was presented to Mr. Zacharewicz for his service as the committee chair for the previous year. A tentative fall meeting will be held at ArcelorMittal Dofasco in Hamilton, Ont., Canada, in October. A tour will be included. The meeting will be scheduled to coincide with a local Member Chapter meeting if possible. United Spiral Pipe in Pittsburg, Calif., is a potential site for the winter meeting in January or February 2010.
The Project and Construction Management Technology Committee (PCMTC) held a teleconference on 10 Mar. Tom Zacharewicz of ArcelorMittal Dofasco Inc. welcomed everyone to the call and thanked them for taking the time to meet. After introductions, the AIST Antitrust Guidelines were reviewed. The AISTech 2009 PCMTC sessions were then discussed. The PCMTC will be sponsoring three sessions at AISTech 2009, with one of those being a round table discussion on "Managing Maintenance Projects" on Tuesday afternoon, May 5. The paper order and session chairs were reviewed and adjusted as needed. The session chairs were encouraged to contact the authors within their sessions and discuss with them their responsibilities and upcoming deadlines for participation. The PCMTC's topics for the AISTech 2010 Call for Papers were reviewed and approved. The application deadline for the Project Excellence Award was extended to 15 Apr to allow potential applicants enough time to submit them. The committee decided to forgo a training seminar at this time. They have elected instead to have more round table discussions on various topics during their upcoming committee meetings. Mr. Zacharewicz offered to continue the duties of committee chair for the coming year, so the committee leadership will remain the same for 2009–2010. The next PCMTC meeting will be on Tuesday, 5 May during AISTech 2009 in St. Louis, Mo.

Dr. Lee M. Sanders, an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine said that "one of the things we don't realize when we look around at our neighborhoods and communities is that these problems are so common."
"That's something to be concerned about. That's something to take communal action on," he added.
Identifying and treating abuse early can prevent many serious health consequences later in life. Programs that provide quality care for children, as well as home visitation programs in early infancy and parenting programs, are part of the solution to this problem, Sanders said.
"These interventions are important not just because abuse is so common, but because of the lifelong health implications," Sanders said. "There is a connection of these events to lifelong implications, not just for mental health for adults, but also for physical health."
For example, a person who has several of these events is more likely to get cancer and heart disease, Edwards said. "This is serious and it's not just a quirk of statistics. It's a real relationship."

Trip was great, but don't book it through Viator they never put us on the manifest and if I hadn't checked to confirm where I was to suppose to meet the boat we would not have been able to go. book it direct with Red Sail

I enjoyed this tour, but I do believe that the food could have been more. I know that it was not intended to be dinner, but I don't like having to jump in line before all of it is eaten. The atmosphere was so lovely, I just wanted to relax and take it all in. The crew was great as well.

LRRML: a conformational database and an XML description of leucine-rich repeats (LRRs)
- Equal contributors
1 Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Theresienstr, 41, 80333 Munich, Germany
2 Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, 85748 Garching, Germany
3 Deutsches Museum, 80538 Munich, Germany
BMC Structural Biology 2008, 8:47 doi:10.1186/1472-6807-8-47Published: 5 November 2008
Leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) are present in more than 6000 proteins. They are found in organisms ranging from viruses to eukaryotes and play an important role in protein-ligand interactions. To date, more than one hundred crystal structures of LRR containing proteins have been determined. This knowledge has increased our ability to use the crystal structures as templates to model LRR proteins with unknown structures. Since the individual three-dimensional LRR structures are not directly available from the established databases and since there are only a few detailed annotations for them, a conformational LRR database useful for homology modeling of LRR proteins is desirable.
We developed LRRML, a conformational database and an extensible markup language (XML) description of LRRs. The release 0.2 contains 1261 individual LRR structures, which were identified from 112 PDB structures and annotated manually. An XML structure was defined to exchange and store the LRRs. LRRML provides a source for homology modeling and structural analysis of LRR proteins. In order to demonstrate the capabilities of the database we modeled the mouse Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) by multiple templates homology modeling and compared the result with the crystal structure.
LRRML is an information source for investigators involved in both theoretical and applied research on LRR proteins. It is available at http://zeus.krist.geo.uni-muenchen.de/~lrrml webcite.

What are your plans for this year?

Re: What are your plans for this year?
2012 (particularly the end of the year) ended up being a little more significant than I had anticipated, and has set up some potentially interesting (and hopefully positive) things for 2013.
- Moving. I've been pretty miserable in my current home (plagued by poor building construction and plumbing problems) so I am going to sell and move into a new apartment. I've already got a new place with my name on it. Just waiting for construction to finish and then I'll sign a lease and get the keys to my new digs. So February looks like it'll be full of cleaning, painting, packing, moving, unpacking, etc.
- New car. Silly, insignificant and not even remotely important, I suppose. But damnit I want a new car and I will reward myself with one as soon as I have sold my (current, soon to be old) property.
- New job? It's a question mark and there's no guarantee of success but it's something that I am going to put a lot of energy into, particularly in the second half of the year after the above goals have been achieved.
- Vacation to England. I've been twice before but this time it sounds like the entire family is going. That could be... interesting.
- Medication! In December, I visited a psychiatrist to get medicated for generalized anxiety. The prescription I'm on now is okay - not horrible, not great - so hopefully we'll figure out the right drug(s) for me and I'll begin to lead an anxiety-free life for the first time in... well... ever.
- Make myself happy. All of the goals listed above contribute to this overarching goal of leading a happier life. Do the things that I want to do and the things that I need to do to make me a better, happier person.
"I managed to find Uno and Checkers, and also parts of Battleship and most of the pieces of Candy Land, which I figure, I can mix together to create a fabulous new game, CandyShipBattleLand. War never tasted so good." - Lorelai Gilmore

Plan studies comparing fixed-beam and helical IMRT with RapidArc show that RapidArc can reduce the amount of non-therapeutic radiation reaching healthy tissues during treatment. For example, in the case of head and neck cancer treatments, RapidArc plans are better at protecting critical structures like the spinal cord, brain stem, eyes, optic nerve and chiasm, parotid (salivary) glands, and brain. Moreover, with RapidArc's highly efficient use of the primary beam, secondary stray radiation caused by scatter and leakage are reduced by over 50 percent on average compared with fixed field IMRT.
RapidArc Technology
RapidArc technology utilizes a sophisticated, proprietary algorithm that creates a finely-shaped IMRT dose distribution that closely matches the size and shape of the tumor. It works by varying three parameters simultaneously: 1) the speed with which the treatment machine rotates around the patient, 2) the dimensions of the beam-shaping aperture, which change continually during the treatment based on the patient's unique anatomy, and 3) the rate at which the dose is delivered. These technologies work together to make RA the most revolutionary advance in radiation therapy in terms of speed, efficiency, and conformality.
"The RapidArc planning algorithm exploits the unique characteristics of
Varian's most advanced medical linear accelerators, which can deliver dose
at different rates, and the multileaf collimator, which is used to shape
the beam so it conforms to the shape of the tumor," said Corey Zankowski,

I need to ask a beginner question. I understand from the internet that the new Portra 400 has a great lattitude but i am wondering how this advantage is put into practice.
Does that mean for one roll of film i can take shots at different iso and once finish i just drop it in the lab and ask them to develop normally without any push processing.
Will there be any risk of under or over exposure depending on the skill of the lab, or can all lab handle this well.
I personally will try to take them all at box speed but just occasionally might need to increase the iso.
Please advise

Lorth of Ostarin is an assassin trained by a wizard unknown to his kind. He is paid very well to employ both the primeval darkness of a hunter and the ordered light of a mage, an uneasy combination he does not question until he returns home after a long assignment and trips into a turbid river of war, politics and the violation of all he holds dear. Lawless and adept, he picks no sides and takes no prisoners. When his wolfish ways get him imprisoned for crimes he did not commit, he discovers the deeper source of his ability and falls in love with a priestess who frees him to his fate. But the rift in his heart widens under the forces of love, loyalty and the occupation of his realm by a warlord who honors neither hunters nor wizards. To reclaim his homeland, Lorth must bow his head to death itself, a sacrifice that will transform him into the most powerful hunter the land has ever known.

I don't know who this guy is but he made a gallery of his kids crying, and then labeled them. It got a chuckle out of me so I thought I'd share!
This past weekend at the Grammys, Taylor Swift launched into a performance of her hit "All Too Well," but was joined on stage by a surprise guest.
I'm a fan of the memes.
I always get a good chuckle off these bad boys, so here is today's meme Monday!
It's MONDAY! My first day back in the office since my wedding and at the end of the day as I put together today's, Meme Monday, I can't help but feel like this...
Today's "Meme Monday" is one that I think many of our listeners can identify with... the social network share button. Now gentlemen, I think the porn site thing is more up your alley but I definitely can identify with the whole, "I'm looking at something embarrassing hopefully it doesn't accidentally get loaded to Facebook!"
Yes, there is a meme that is named "Inappropriate Sexual Innuendo Dog That Dresses And Talks Like A Pirate." And what better day to feature the top 10 than on Talk Like A Pirate Day! So stop swabbing your poop deck and climb aboard for a treacherous trip through our booty! Arrrrrrggghhhhh!
I am a crazy cat lady and if you truly want to know what radio life is here you go. I sit on the computer making cat memes while talking to you Grand Rapids. It is true though, cats will try to crawl in any box no matter the size!
Oh, Internet -- you continue to host wonderful ideas for the betterment of all humankind.
And then there's this.
***SPOILERS*** ***THIS WHOLE POST IS A GIANT SPOILER*** ***IF YOU DID NOT WATCH 'GAME OF THRONES' LAST NIGHT, CLICK AWAY*** Otherwise, hilarity awaits you.
It all started with Zeddie Little, who remained ridiculously photogenic while running a marathon. Since then we've met the ridiculously photogenic surgery girl, the ridiculously photogenic jui jitsu guy and a host of others who have maintained their photo-ready best in less than ideal circumstance.
This is a fairly self-explanatory activity -- photos of pretty young women are juxtaposed with photos of them looking pretty awful. Interestingly, many of these Reddit submissions come from the young ladies themselves. Why they do this isn't obvious. Perhaps it's that timing is everything? To show that they're pretty and, well, some version of funny? Whatever their motivation, there's no denying that these transformations are certainly spectacular, if nothing else.

Iranian state television has shown images of what it says is an unmanned US drone captured in its airspace.
The Revolutionary Guards said they had brought down a ScanEagle - one of the smaller, less sophisticated drones employed by the Americans.
Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi told the Fars news agency that the drone had conducted several reconnaissance flights over the Gulf in recent days.
But the US Navy said none of its drones was missing in the Middle East.
Other nations in the region, including the United Arab Emirates, also operate ScanEagles - low-cost, long-endurance aircraft with a 10ft (3m) wingspan, Associated Press says.
Rear Adm Fadavi said that "such drones are usually launched from large warships".
The best-known drones might be those like the American Predator and Reaper, which carry weapons and are used by the CIA as well as the US military and British RAF to launch strikes. But the Predator began as a surveillance - not an armed - vehicle and it is in this field that drones are still primarily used.
It has the ability to loiter over a target for much longer than manned aircraft and to beam back imagery and other forms of information to analysts thousands of miles away.
The US may have pioneered the use of unmanned drones but the number of countries using them for surveillance has expanded rapidly in recent years. Because they are intelligence-gathering tools, often operating over hostile territory, they will not carry identifying markings.
Iran and its nuclear programme (as well as its military facilities) will certainly be a top target for US surveillance, but for other neighbouring nations as well. This may make it harder to be absolutely sure who the drone really belongs to.
Fars said the drone was captured "in the last few days" without giving further details.
A spokesman for US Naval Forces Central Command in Bahrain said: "The US Navy has fully accounted for all unmanned air vehicles operating in the Middle East region.
"Our operations in the Gulf are confined to internationally recognised water and air space.
"We have no record that we have lost any ScanEagles recently."
Last month, the US said Iranian warplanes had shot at a US surveillance drone flying in international airspace. Iran said the aircraft had entered its airspace.
November also saw Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Mohammad Khazaee, write to Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to complain about what he said were repeated US violations of Iranian airspace near the Bushehr power station, describing them as "illegal and provocative acts".
A year ago, Iranian TV broadcast pictures of an American RQ-170 Sentinel surveillance drone that Iran said had been brought down using electronic warfare. The US said it had malfunctioned.
Iran rejected a US call for the return of the drone. It subsequently claimed to have developed its own unmanned drone.
Washington and Tehran are engaged in a dispute over Tehran's nuclear programme.
The Revolutionary Guards are an elite unit of the Iranian military which operate their own naval forces.

In Quito Preparing for the Cotopaxi Climb
Posted by: | December 06, 2009
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Ecuador
It's Casey and Billy checking in from down south! We've been hanging out in Quito for the last couple of days and the whole crew is already having a blast, and being situated at over 9,000 ft, we've already begun our acclimatization for our climbs. The first day around town was excellent. After a great breakfast at "Spicy" aka the hotel restaurant, we hit the town on a city tour to get a dose of history and colonial architecture. We had the chance to visit the Basilica, Presidential Palace, among other incredible buildings dating back from Spanish colonial times. This place is OLD, compared to American cities. Quito was founded in 1532! After the city tour, the group split. Half of the team headed to the Plaza de Toros and the other half went to a cool museum along the equator. The crew at the plaza had the fortune to witness a series of bullfights. Definitely barbaric but also a unique cultural experience unique to countries with Spanish influence. The other team enjoyed the interesting exhibits and experiments at the equatorial museum. The evening brought a lively night out for the team. After reuniting back at the hotel everyone went out for an amazing dinner. Local music and dancing was a great addition to the dining experience. Filet Mignon, Malbec? Who knew that you could acclimatize in such style!
Day 2 has thus far been a blast as well. The entire team headed up to the volcano Pichincha for a little exercise to help with the acclimation process. After a 40 minute gondola ride we were deposited high on the slopes of the volcano and were greeted by sweeping views of Cayambe and the city below. The high point for our hike brought us to approximately 14,300 ft.; nearly the summit of Mt. Rainier! The whole team is climbing and acclimating well thus far. Tonight, being Sunday, will hopefully turn out to be a bit quieter than the previous but we still plan to have another nice meal out on the town! Tomorrow we will to leave the city following an early wake-up and head out to the Illinizas for some more training.
We hope all is well back home and will check back in as the trip progresses.
Viva Quito!

World Vision, which has worked in Haiti more than 30 years, today reached an additional 1,000 families with relief items already stored in the country, but many urgent items such as clean water, medical supplies and emergency shelter resources were running low.
Toycen reported via Twitter: "Distributions are in full force - trying to reach as many people as possible. Still a steep curve to reach all those affected."
World Vision's supply chain is ramping up to bring in badly needed supplies. The first of a series of flights bringing emergency supplies for World Vision relief efforts in Haiti touched down in Port-au-Prince on Friday evening.
A Hercules C130 brought items such as hygiene kits, blankets, water containers, and shelter materials from World Vision's warehouse in Denver. The aid group is planning more flights this weekend from Panama City, Toronto, and an additional flight from Denver, bringing more supplies, including medicines, tents, and shovels to remove debris.
World Vision staff are finding alternatives to the congested Port-au-Prince airport, including bringing supplies overland from airports and ports in the Dominican Republic, where the agency has a sizable presence.
Provide first aid
World Vision teams have distributed first-aid supplies to more than ten hospitals in the Port-au-Prince area. "Some volunteer teachers have been performing first aid for the past day or two to those who have been injured," reported Toycen. However, he fears many will die of their injuries if not tended to soon. "We a

DEFINITION of 'First To File Rule'
A rule stating that whoever is the first to file suit is awarded their home courts. The first to file rule provides an advantage in that the litigator may be familiar with the judge/court, and will not have to incur any extra costs such as travel expenses, nor leave their home for the duration of the trial. The first to file rule is just a general rule. It is not law, and exceptions can be made.
BREAKING DOWN 'First To File Rule'
Often, a change of location can be made as per a request, however, you run the risk of offending the local court as well as impeding on another, perhaps more crowded court. This means that the trial may be put on hold and dealt with in the order it was received by the new court which could be a significant delay.
