I didn't provide you with the entire quote. In truth Dr. Patterson had been asking numerous groups the same question, not just about systematics, but in general about finding any one thing about evolution that a person knew was true.<quoted text>I don't buy it. Funny how you remember something so well that you claim happened over 20 years ago. At least you didn't say it happened last year. You got a lot of information about the man from a brief phone conversation.
I can't imagine a man of science would point to a living animal and call it an example of a transitional species. That would be rather stupid. Of course it is a stupid topic. Transitional to what? That would require three points and not just a single point or even two points. I suppose I will have to spell it out. Transitional means coming from something and going to something.
A man that wrote a book entitled Evolution and then did a second edition had nothing to offer in support of evolution? Are you daft as well as a liar?
You are name dropping again. I would imagine that most evolutionists were aware of Michael Denton's book regarding evolution unless you mean his work in erythrocytes. They do fit the pattern of using fundamentalist propaganda to support your belief that you have established on here.
New findings in micro-biology were unraveling any possibility to explain evolution as was the nagging absence of transitional forms in the living and fossil record. Mayr and Gould had recently come up with "punctuated equilibrium" as an answer. Lets have it happen so fast it leaves no trace.
My point is if evolution is true there should be many examples of transitional forms running around today, there are none. This perplexed Patterson and at least he was honest about it. The lung fish had been postulated as an intermediate fish becoming a land animal, but convergence defeats that, as does boundaries in the DNA, how would a 1/2 done version breath and live? Like any bad mutation it would be DOA, and where are the next versions? nowhere.
Its obvious Patterson had been doing some personal reflection. His tone to me also indicated the same lack of faith in 1990. Revising his book was a life goal, so what? I hope t see him in Heaven.
At any rate, how come such a complex organism like a Prokaryotic bacteria from 3.6 BY ago not evolve as better mechanism than the one we see still operating perfectly today? Have you been avoiding the real question? In 2009 they studied code from 40,000 generations and still got the same cell, with the same flagella driven by a proton motor! Only a super intelligence could do that, not mindless self directed evolution.

The Glass Sentence: The Mapmakers Trilogy, Book 1
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that The Glass Sentence is the first book in the Mapmakers trilogy. Publishers are marketing this book to ages 10 and up. Although the maturity of the content is about right for the age, this story is pretty complex; readers 12 and up are more likely to stick with it. Violence is about average for an adventure-fantasy. Young teens are chased by scarred baddies with pistols and grappling hooks. One key character is faceless and pretty scary, with talk of how she was mutilated by a madman. Readers will enjoy Sophia, a smart, resourceful girl lead character, as well as the wild concept of memory maps -- way cooler than Google Maps.

What's the story?
Thirteen-year-old Sophia lives with her Uncle Shadrack in Boston in the late 1800s -- at least, it's the late 1800s in that half of the continent. Decades before, an event called the Great Disruption occurred, fracturing the globe into different eras. Little is known of the time periods on some parts of the globe, so an age of exploration is underway -- a dangerous age, it seems. Sophia's parents, both explorers and cartographers, left when she was young and never returned. Uncle Shadrack also is a cartographer and much sought-after for his skill reading maps that emerged from many different eras. He's only just started tutoring Sophia in fantastic creations called memory maps when he disappears, his home ransacked. A boy named Theo who escaped from the circus sees it happen; Shadrack is kidnapped by scarred men with grappling hooks. In the chaos, Sophia finds a note from her uncle telling her to "find Veressa" -- a fellow cartographer in the faraway Baldlands -- along with a strange glass map she can't read...a map that Shadrack's kidnappers are desperate to get their hands on.
Is it any good?
There are authors who build intriguing fantasy worlds that exist mostly to serve the storytelling, and then there are the overachievers; the author of this book is quite the overachiever. She doesn't create one whole new world but many, and she places each part in different eras of time, competing against one another on the same globe. Then she explores it all on curious maps that only reveal the depth of mystery this new fractured-time world holds.
For younger and less experienced fantasy readers, it would be nearly impossible to navigate this world and the complexities of the story without Sophia, the main character. She's resourceful and talented, and, though so much of the series already seems tied up neatly at the end of the first book, she's sure to be a great heroic character in the books to come.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about maps, real and imagined. What do you look for on maps? If you could leave your memories on a map for anyone to access, would you?
What do you think of the Mapmakers series so far? Where do you think it's headed? Will you read the next book?
Sophia doesn't have a sense of time. How can this be dangerous? How can it be helpful?

Maintenance Director Jon Lotz points out upturned and damaged floor tiles to the South Central High School Board on Monday.
A damaged brick wall is shown during the tour. The wall separates the Chimney system from the Library. If it breaks, it could expose students to Carbon Monoxide.
South Central School Board Mulls State Construction Grant, Tours High School
"We've got a long ways to go in this project to make that decision [to move forward]." Bachelor said, "It's not as good as we had hoped it would be, numbers wise. We'll follow through on the process within a month or so and try to make an educated decision."
If the district decides to go forward with selling the bonds, the public will have 30 days to petition for a referendum, and if the petition is successful the issue will be brought before the voters.
The board took a tour of the South Central High School during the meeting. Maintenance Director Jon Lotz led the tour, and showcased the myriad of problems currently faced by the high school. Bachelor says the district will have to fix the problems no matter what, whether they use the state funding or not.
Lotz says the High School, first and foremost, is not up to current ADA, Fire, and Plumbing codes, and that if the state decides to push the code issue the district could be fined. The proposed construction grant would remove the second floor of the high school and renovate expand the first floor, adding up to eight new classrooms. The removal would bring the school up to fire code, as the Spanish classroom on the second floor currently exits into the library--fire code forbids a classroom exiting into another classroom--it would also allow for ADA compliance due to the High School not having elevators and plumbing compliance because the second floor currently does not have bathrooms.
Renovations would fix a myriad of other issues including breaking and degrading steam pipes , unset tiles and foundation issues, possible Asbestos in the floors as well as a large crack in the wall separating the chimney from the library, which is at risk of breaking and possibly exposing students to Carbon Monoxide.
706 students attend the district, which is also facing overcrowding issues at the middle school and the elementary school.

Astaro Launches Beta Program for Astaro Security Gateway V7.1
Astaro Corporation, a leading manufacturer of unified threat management (UTM) security appliances, today announced the beta availability of version 7.1 of its Astaro Security Gateway software appliance. The latest release of Astaro's
security platform offers a range of innovations, including advanced web filtering based on a new HTTP proxy which allows for extended functionality and performance improvements. Astaro has also launched its new beta program for Astaro Security Gateway.
In previous releases, Astaro has used "Squid" as HTTP proxy, a solution based on open source technology, but the company is moving to a proprietary system. Replacing the old engine completely, the new proxy supports features like Directory Single-Sign-On via NTLMv2 and Kerberos authentication, says the vendor. Other enhancements include a flexible combination of black and white list technologies, as well as streaming media capability to play audio and video data without interference. The new proxy's
advanced I/O model is said to achieve performance improvements of up to 80 percent. In addition to faster response times, the new software version supports interface based packet filtering, detailed network accounting, and enhanced user interface

Salminus brasiliensis
|Scientific classification
|S. brasiliensis
|Binomial name
|Salminus brasiliensis
(G. Cuvier, 1816)
Salminus cuvieri Valenciennes, 1850
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Salminus brasiliensis (dorado, golden dorado or jaw characin) is a large river fish found in central and east-central South America. Despite having Salminus in its name, the dorado is not related to any species of salmon, nor to the saltwater fish also called dorado. It is very popular among recreational anglers and supports large commercial fisheries.
The golden dorado has a large head, with powerful jaws filled with sharp teeth. It reaches maturity around 37 cm (15 in) long, and is golden colored. The average size of the golden dorado is about 3–10 kg (6.6–22.0 lb). The largest recorded size is 100 cm (39 in) length and 31.4 kg (69 lb).[1]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
The golden dorado lives in warm freshwater habitats in southern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, and northern Argentina, in the river basins of the Paraguay, Uruguay, Chapare, and Mamoré Rivers, and the drainage of the Lagoa dos Patos.[1] The dorado is considered an endangered species in Paraguay, so a five-year fishing ban was put into effect there.[2] Other South American river basins hold relatives of this species: S. franciscanus in the São Francisco Basin, S. hilarii in the upper Paraná, Amazon and Orinoco basins, and S. affinis in the Santiago and Magdalena basins in Ecuador and Colombia.
"Dorado", both in the name of the fish and other uses such as the El Dorado legend, originates from the Latin word for gold, auratus (later modified into dauratus in Vulgar Latin, and subsequently oro in Spanish and ouro in Portuguese).
Golden dorados are piscivores, eating a wide variety of prey fish. One of the dorado's favorite prey is the sabalo, a type of schooling fish typically 1–4 kg (2–9 lb) in weight. They also actively prey for several species of Astyanax, also known as lambari, within these especially A. altiparanae, A. bimaculatus, and A. fasciatus, as well as fishes from the Gymnotidae family, genus Gymnotus and known in Brazil as tuvira or sarapó. Its preference for the two mentioned groups dictate generally the shapes and colors of lures and flies made for dorado.
|This article is written like a manual or guidebook. (November 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The golden dorado is highly sought-after by anglers, both for its meat that is very appreciated and its fighting ability. The aggressive nature of the dorado, its high jumps, fighting strength and stamina have created a competitive market among anglers from all corners of the world, traversing South American waters in hopes of hooking a dorado.
From the 2000s onwards, the dorado has been increasingly recognized as a fly-fishing targeted species. Its aggressive behavior, fast runs, impressive strength, and brave fighting - frequently going airborne in the attempt to loosen itself from the hook, make this species a must-fish for fly fishermen.
Equipments used range from #6 to #10, depending on the size of the average fishstock. This fish usually takes flies both on surface and sub-surface. It is common the use of Intermediate and Sinking-Tip fly lines in places with fast current, preferred by this species. The Dorado though being an avid hunter, also is a lazy chaser. So, if the fly moves too fast or with short, fast movements the Dorado can just skip attacking.
Flies tied for dorado usually contain lots of flash. This fish likes shiny, colorful flies or black ones when the water is muddy or turbid. In the State of São Paulo, Brazil, flies tied in white and blue also deliver good results.
Due to the Dorado's very sharp teeth, anglers use steel wire or fluorocarbon monofilament bite tippets, to avoid the fish cutting the line.
Culinary preparation[edit]
Golden Dorados are excellent to eat and are often barbecued with tomatoes and bell peppers. Often utilized in the making of fish soups they are also popularly fried in South America. The Dorado has a white flaky flesh with a notably high fat content.

This paper examines the concept of a model management system, what its functions are, and how they are to be achieved in a decision support context. The central issue is model representation which involves knowledge representation and knowledge management within a database environment. The model abstraction structure is introduced as a vehicle for model representation which supports both heuristic and deterministic inferencing as well as the conceptual/external schema notion familiar to database management. The model abstraction is seen as a special instance of the frame construct in artificial intelligence. Model management systems are characterized as frame-systems and a database implementation of this approach is described.

It's a fact that some people sleep with their eyes open, but why does that happen? Is it normal behavior, not a symptom of any sort of disorder? Are there any (dis)advantages to sleeping with eyes open?
The medical term is "lagophthalmos" if the person is unable to close their eyes at night.
There are several factors involved, and unless it's due to physical obstruction, lid archetecture (such as short lid length (due to surgery etc)), or facial nerve (CN VII) problems, it's not well understood.
I have seen numerous people with varying degrees of this over the years. For most of those people, it's an intermittent thing.
Tears are essential for eye tissue health, including cleaning and avoiding infection. People complain of dry or irritated eyes mostly. But in more extensive cases, keratitis and ulcers can occur, which are bad. If it's frequent, tell the person to make sure they tell their eye doctor (or if they don't have one, get it checked out sometime) so that the health of their eye tissue can be evaluated.
Another possibility is Grave's disease - in that condition, the entire eyeball protrudes and sometimes the eyelids aren't long enough to cover them adequately. But what you're describing is probably not Grave's disease.

Subject: [OMPI devel] RFC: make mpi_leave_pinned=1 the default
From: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres_at_[hidden])
Date: 2008-07-03 08:56:52
WHAT: make mpi_leave_pinned=1 by default when a BTL is used that would
benefit from it (when possible; 0 when not, obviously)
WHY: Several reasons:
- we continually get beat up because of "lower performance" on
benchmarks by default (I get beat up, at least ;-) )
- ptmalloc is no longer compiled in user apps by default, but mallopt
may be available
- ptmalloc has been linked in on many platforms by default for a long
- our ptmalloc settings were such that memory was rarely returned to
the OS -- quite similar to mallopt
- very few people have complained about the above policy
- therefore, it may be ok to mallopt by default if there is a device
in the run that would benefit from it
WHERE: openib BTL, MPI runtime directory
WHEN: before v1.3 ships
TIMEOUT: Fri, July 11, 2008
I'm assuming that this topic will generate a fair amount of
conversation. :-)
I'm basically getting tired of people complaining that OMPI has lower
default benchmark performance on OpenFabrics networks. I don't mind
explaining the mpi_leave_pinned flag; what I do mind is that customers
and users who refuse to use it (which is at least sort of
understandable). I also mind that other MPI implementations
(sometimes knowingly) compare Open MPI without leave_pinned to their
implementations with leave_pinned. Explaining it after the fact is
never quite as compelling when there is a big poster on a show floor
showing MPI XYZ with great ping pong performance and OMPI with lousy
ping pong performance.
Note that:
- OMPI is the only MPI that doesn't do the "leave pinned" trick by
default on OpenFabrics networks
- I know that pingpong benchmarks are meaningless. Customers and
users don't care. We cannot move this mountain.
- I know that leave_pinned is frequently meaningless to real apps
(although Torsten likes to argue otherwise -- and he's got at least
some real-world data points that show otherwise :-) ).
- I know that it's only OpenFabrics networks that require this setting
and that many people think OpenFabrics is broken because of this.
Let's leave such religious arguments at the door; I'm not happy we
have to do it either, but that's not the issue here.
So my proposal is to enable mpi_leave_pinned by default:
- if there's a BTL in the app that would benefit (i.e., openib). This

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Retire Tennessee, the states retiree recruitment program under the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development, announced Wednesday the addition of Campbell, Henderson, Monroe and Washington counties, bringing the total number of active Retire Tennessee counties to 23.
We are very pleased to expand this important program for Tennessee, Commissioner Kevin Triplett, Tennessee Department of Tourist Development said. These four new counties, bringing the total to 23, have so much to offer those making retirement decisions. Tennessees low cost of living, no state income tax, low property taxes, four mild seasons, incredible quality of living and breathtaking scenic beauty offer an ideal package for retirees looking to relocate.
Additional official retiree counties include Anderson, Carter, Cumberland, Franklin, Hamblen, Hamilton, Hardin, Jefferson, Loudon, Maury, Putnam, Rhea, Roane, Robertson, Sullivan, Sumner, Unicoi, Warren and White.
Now in its tenth year, Retire Tennessee inspired more than 8,000 inquiries from potential retirees last year. Tennessee is one of only four states with retiree recruitment as a formal program and continues to gain momentum as a potential retirement destination for more than 78 million baby boomers. Tennessee was recently ranked No. 4 in the 10 Best States for Retirement 2016 by Kiplinger.com, the popular personal finance and business publication.

In a case that sparked a national debate about parental rights versus a school systems rights, Cumberland County will pay a $100,000 settlement to James A. Howe. The father of South Cumberland Elementary students claimed the school system falsely arrested him and violated his constitutional rights when it refused to let him pick his kids up from school in 2013. To avoid long lines, Mr. Howe had parked off campus and walked to the school to get his children. Mr. Howe was informed that he was in violation of the schools dismissal policy and would have to sign a form before his children were released to his custody. Mr. Howe refused to sign the form and was adamant that the school release his children. His arrest for disorderly conduct was caught on video and went viral. In 2014, Howe filed a lawsuit seeking $1 million from the county and $100,000 from the school. In January 2014, the charges against Mr. Howe were dropped in General Sessions Court. Despite Cumberland County agreeing to pay Howe $100,000, U.S. District Judge Kevin Sharp has ruled that Howes constitutional rights were not violated by the school dismissal procedures. Since Howes arrest, the parking lot at South Cumberland has been widened and pick-up times have been greatly reduced.

Heisler, Michele, I. Cole, David Weir, E.A. Kerr, and R.A. Hayward. 2007. "Does physician communication influence older patients' diabetes self-management and glycemic control? Results from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS)." Journals of Gerontology A: Biological and Medical Sciences, 62(12): 1435-1442.
Background. Effective chronic disease self-management among older adults is crucial for improved clinical outcomes. We assessed the relative importance of two dimensions of physician communication-provision of information (PCOM) and participatory decision-making (PDM)-for older patients' diabetes self-management and glycemic control. Methods. We conducted a national cross-sectional survey among 1588 older community-dwelling adults with diabetes (response rate: 81 %). Independent associations were examined between patients' ratings of their physician's PCOM and PDM with patients' reported diabetes self-management (medication adherence, diet, exercise, blood glucose monitoring, and foot care), adjusting for patient sociodemographics, illness severity, and comorbidities. Among respondents for whom hemoglobin Alc (HbAlc) values were available (n = 1233), the relationship was assessed between patient self-management and HbAlc values. Results. In separate multivariate regressions, PCOM and PDM were each associated with overall diabetes self-management (p <.001) and with all self-management domains (p <.001 in all models), with the exception of PDM not being associated with medication adherence. In models with both PCOM and PDM, PCOM alone predicted medication adherence (p =.001) and foot care (p =.002). PDM alone was associated with exercise and blood glucose monitoring (both p <.001) and was a stronger independent predictor than PCOM of diet. Better patient ratings of their diabetes self-management were associated with lower HbAlc values (B =-.10, p =.005). Conclusion. Among these older adults, both their diabetes providers' provision of information and efforts to actively involve them in treatment decision-making were associated with better overall diabetes self-management. Involving older patients in setting chronic disease goals and decision-making, however, appears to be especially important for self-care areas that demand more behaviorally complex lifestyle adjustments such as exercise, diet, and blood glucose monitoring.

Kansas City, KSUSA
Hometown: Kansas City
February 9, 2008
My childhood nickname was "Llama"... and I still collect llamas to this day. Oh, and you don't want to know what my name is backwards. Eeek!
All of the above... love movies, eating out, shopping, going out dancing, and always love learning new things and meeting new people!
I'm a proud BBW, loved the comraderie of BBW's online in IRC channel #BBW. I would love to meet other people who know what it's like to be in a 'Skinny Society.' I am also always so happy to get out of the house and be around adults!
I'm straight-ish, or as they say, "Straight but not narrow." I'm happily married (therefore not looking, but I do occasionally flirt ;).
I'm 41 years old, of the female persuasion. I live in KCK, close to Westport/Plaza.
So happy I found this group in 2007, has been wonderful to meet other BBW's and friends! Recently back in the work force, married, have a 7 yr old. In the past 6 years, we've had 100s of fun meetups, and are still aiming to paint this town ZAFTIG!
People who want to find like-minded (and/or like-bodied) friends are always welcome! We have met so many lovely, fun people in this group, and we are always looking forward to our next meetup!

Micromax Canvas Fun A74 Features
Beating the timing on Apple's multi-coloured iPhone 5c launch and competing with Nokia's bright-shelled Lumia 520, Micromax is playing the colourful card in the entry-level range. The Canvas Fun A74 is an entry level handset that comes in three colour options: Blue, Red and Black. It's got a 4.5-inch 854 x 480 pixel display and is powered by a 1.3GHz dual-core processor. There's 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal memory (out of which Micromax claims 1.27GB is available for apps, and 1.25GB for mass storage). You can expand up to 32GB more using a microSD card. There's 3G support with speeds of up to 21Mbps, WiFi 802.11n and a rather old version of Bluetooth i.e. v2.0.
In the camera department, you've got a 5 megapixel fixed-focus lens with an LED flash. The phone has the capability of recording videos in 720p resolution. It comes with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out of the box. Powering the unit is a 1500 mAh battery, which given the reasonable specs, should not prove to be too insufficient.

This video does a fantastic job of showing how the United States has expanded and grown since its original 13 colonies. While many today might imagine that our nation was simply always this size in fact over many years of colonization, land purchases and land grabs America has eventually become what it is today.

TODALSIGS is an acronym for remembering the most basic elements of a good map. This interactive briefly explains what each of the letters represents and how it is connected to map-making. If this particular introduction is either too advanced or too basic for your students, simply run an internet search for the term TODALSIGS to find many other lesson plans and resources that might be more applicable to your institution (including this example-rich slideshow).

Manchester United Message Board
This is a team, and a strong one.....
Neville Rio Vidic Heinze
Ronaldo Carrick Scholes Giggs
Rooney Saha
Subs: Smith, Evra, O'Shea, Brown, Ole, Park, Silvestre, Richardson,Fletcher
We have good cover in all areas because we dont need 18 Superstars on a team to win. Our best 11 is pretty damn good, and after 60 minutes you can always bring on utility guys like O'Shea and Richardson who can play in defense or midfield/wing. I've supported ManU for a long time and it never seems like we have the strongest squad on paper...but they somehow always manage to play well together. I thought we were done in minute 89 of the 1999 CL final when we took off our 2 starting strikers...but you know how that turned out.
So far we won 3 games against teams that wont be in the top four..and thats what we are supposed to do. Our team can still beat Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham and dare I say Chelsea. Tevez and Mascherano wont make Villa a top club, if they could not help a national team with 9 other superstars win the world cup then how will they help Villa win 6th place. ManU will always raise their level of play depending on the strength of the opposition.
We have a strong starting 11 plus at least 4 very good squad players. We offered 17M for Owen and we didnt get him...too bad, that just means we still got 17M to spend on another Defensive Midfielder who steps up between now and January.
It always amazes me that the players who Chelsea spend millions on that are supposedly world class never look as intimidating once they're sold to play for another team. Every team needs players who will come in and do a specific job, why have 2 world class players for every position to just warm the bench or wait until a starter gets injured.
We have an excellent team with 10 WORLD CLASS startes....Carrick will be there very shortly to make it 11.
Put last year into context...without many of our regulars we did damn good. If we had beat Blackburn in both games and beat Sunderland, we would be Champs. The guys have done their job so far and lets do ours and support the players we have.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Good and honest summary, although I thought Tevez and Mascherano were going to West Ham. United are a match for Chelsea in defence, and stronger on the wings and up front than Chelsea or the other 18 teams. Our only weakeness is in central defence, and if Scholes and Carrick stay fit were not really that weak. Also how many players from the other Premiership teams would actually make it into a full United XI?
- 1 Reply to Sean
Team Manchester United? Sounds like some American outfit.
Its MUFC!
Signing for Villa? Maybe they have but I read it was West Ham. Well, Team West Ham, as you call it.

I'm on my third child so you'd think I'd know a thing or two about bottles, but they seem to constantly have new ones out. In the past, we've tried MAM, BornFree, and the classic Evenflo bottles, which all worked fine, but I donated/recycled most a year ago. I am thinking of using glass this time since I'm staying at home now and don't have to worry about plastic for daycare.
Here are the top contenders - I would love any input/recommendations!!
1) Evenflo Glass Bottles
2) AVENT Glass Bottles
3) Dr. Brown's Glass Bottles (these seem to have too many parts, though)

Historical Traveler Reviews Hamilton Crowne Plaza Hotel Washington DC
Perfect For Us
This is a first class hotel with extremely courteous staff. The price for this quality could not be beat and believe me I checked. The location is excellent, just a few blocks from the Mall, Whitehouse and Metro Station. We arrived late and called to have the feather pillows changed out (my wife is allergic) and even at the late hour they responded within a minute. This is a common call for us but I have not experienced more prompt or courteous service.
Great Hotel, Great Staff, Wonderful Price, Could not ask for anything more when it comes to all around service and satisfaction.
Elegant hotel at a reasonable price
The Crowne Plaza offers some great web deals and my family of four took advatage of the reasonable rates ($109/night) this summer. The hotel is elegant, the rooms are exceptional, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The only drawback to the stay was the price of parking provided by the hotel. The hotel is in easy walking distance of the White House, the Smithsonian, and the National Mall sites.
Better location than the Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City
For the past eight years I have stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City because it is convenient to the Metro and shopping. Hamilton Crowne Plaza surpasses all expectations. I took the subway to and from the airport, to Friendship Heights, Pentagon City and Crystal City for shopping, the Smithsonian and Capitol for sightseeing and Dupont Circle every night for dining. One block from the Metro and walking distance to the White House. The location cannot be beat.The service was excellent. Everyone from the doorman to the maids were very friendly and cordial. When I inquired about a parking charge and room safe charges which appeared on my bill the clerk promptly took care of the matter.Friends visiting me at the hotel thought I was paying $250 a night and marveled at the weekend rate of $99 and weekday rate of $129. I stayed for a week at the Hamilton Crowne Plaza for the cost of a weekend at the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City.
Hamilton Crowne parking charges
To second the previous review of the Hamilton, while I found the room very comfortable and the weekend rates a great value, I was charged $10.00 a day for parking, although I hadn't driven. In addition, the bill for the entire stay was for the (much higher) weeknight rate. I was able to get both items straightened out, but it does appear that the hotel has some problems with their billing procedures, and a careful review is essential. Of course, that's a given for any hotel stay. On the positive side, the location can't be beat!
Beware Parking Charges
I stayed at the Hamilton Crowne Plaza in May of 2003. The room was very clean and pleasant--nicely appointed with light beige and white tones, and very well stocked with clean towels. While a bit on the small side, the room was ample size for a downtown hotel, though perhaps a bit dark--lacking an overhead light in the bedroom area. The lobby, while undergoing construction, was also very well furnished, with classical columns and mirrors, and a table with fresh fruit for guests. Also mentionable is the hotel's unbeatable location. Located at the corner 14th and K Street, the hotel is extremely convenient to the Metro system, and numerous attractions from the White House and Washington Monument to the Spy Museum. During my stay, I did have a run-in regarding the parking situation. Upon arriving, I inquired about the parking situation with the concierge who told me of $100 tickets and tricky regulations parking on the street. Being from the New York area and keeping a car in the city, I am no stranger to difficult and seemingly conflicting parking regulations. My car keys were promptly taken by a valet, without mention of any expense. When checking out, I was informed by the clerk that there was a $24 fee for the parking service--perhaps a bit steep for a WEEKEND--when parking is relatively plentiful on the streets of downtown Washington. Upon asking if this fee was standard or could be adjusted for the given situation, I was flatly and rudely told that this was standard, part of the room rental agreement, and not to be questioned. Besides the public humiliation, I felt that the sternness of the reply was generally excessive given the inquiry and the manner in which it was asked.Apart from this incident regarding parking, the hotel was a good value, running weekend specials to attract non-business clientele. Take advantage of its prime location--excellent for sight-seeing--but be forewarned of the parking!
Very Nice Hotel!
I stayed at this hotel this past weekend. It's not a huge hotel. The elevators are very small. They only hold 8 people. The rooms are a decent size. The beds are very plush and comfortable. The bathrooms are nice and they give you plenty of towels. The only problem I had was that there was no light over my closet door. There was a light switch, but not light. Strange. The restaurant, 'Franklin Exchange' was good. The staff was very friendly. We had a drainage problem with the bathtub, and it was fixed promptly. The hotel is located downtown. We were able to walk to the Covention Center, Georgia Brown restaurant, and down to the Smithsonian and Washinton Monument(15 min walk). I recommend it, and would stay here again!
Excellent service, excellent rooms, excellent location.....I could go on. We stayed here New Years Eve and it was fabulous. The rates are good if you book in advance too. the staff were so nice, even giving us a room with a view when I asked and the rooms were lovely. the bathrooms are large and well stocked...........stay there if you are in DC
Great Location and price
We stayed here over thanksgiving, and it was great. The rooms were a bit on the smaller size, but we had plenty of room for 4 adults and all our luggage. I couldn't believe the location: one block from the metro, two blocks from the White house, and parking is free on the side of the hotel. And we only paid $79 per night, unbelievable for how nice it is! We loved the feather beds, and having the choice of diffent types of pillows. The room was very nice, and clean. But you have to ask for the room to be cleaned daily, or else they leave it untouched. And there is a fire station around the corner, so it made for some laughs in the middle of the night, when we were startled. But if I visit DC again, I would definitly stay here!
What a great find!
Centrally located at 14th and K, the hotel is two short blocks from a metro station, and across the street from one of the best restaurants in DC--DC Coast. Easy walks and cheap cab rides to other parts of the city.
The hotel room itself was VERY nicely apportioned. I think the hotel was just recently renovated, so when you're booking, you may want to ask about whether the floor that you're booking has already been renovated. We stayed on the 14th and the room was beautiful. Pretty fabrics for bed and wall decorations; roomy, attractive bathroom; small sitting area with comfy chair and a separate desk area.
Didn't eat at the adjacent hotel/restaurant but it looked very nice. I would gladly stay at this hotel again.

Drove about 4 hours from Wake Forest, NC to Washington D.C. Upon arrival my boyfriend and I went to the eden center, which is a vietnemes-oriented shopping center in Falls Church, Virgina. The reason we stopped there is because I love bubble tea and asian pastries, so I had to check it out. We got bubble tea and a pastry and then headed to DC. We …

We went round the section on First Ladies, which was really interesting, they had a display of the gowns that a number of them wore to the inauguration. Some of them were beautiful.

No line here, though it is relatively busy in certain exhibits. We were in there for two hours, so there is plenty to see and some interactive exhibits… like the CSI experience in the basement! I thought they might've had a really cool store, but it was a little bit ...

Lots of buzz should be expected today about the submission and acceptance of WS-Addressing to the W3C. WS-Addressing is core to the messaging infrastructure for the WS-* specifications. It provides the necessary baseline for synchronous and asynchronous communicatoin and the ability to route messages between a multitude of intermediaries. In short it facilitates addressing of Web services. I describe it as the spec that really helps to make the virtualization of the network a reality.
It is exciting to see Sun collaborating on the WS-* efforts. Sun has ea bits of WS-Security OASIS 2004 out. Simon Guest is in the processing of writing a how to interoperate article on it that will be published on MSDN shortly. BEA has also recently released bits supporting the latest implementation of WS-Security for WebLogic server.
With WS-Addressing now at the W3C, and WS-Security ratified by OASIS, we can really begin to see the WS-* roadmap come to life with the promise of ubiquitious interoperable protocols. It should be noted that Microsoft implements both of these specifications in Web Services Enhancements v2.0.

- Hi, I'm Jim Babbage, and welcome to Fireworks CS5 Rapid Prototyping. As a web designer and teacher, I know how important it is to get the job done on time and to spec. The best way I know how to expedite this process is through prototyping. You can get customer sign off before a lot of work has been done. You can also change directions more easily, earlier in the process. Now, if you are new to Fireworks CS5, I recommend taking my Fireworks CS5 Essential Training Course first before you get started here, as this course assumes you already know the basics. In this course, we'll deconstruct a completed wireframe and then build these deliverables, and much more, from scratch.
We'll look at some great time saving features in Fireworks, such as a document templates to help you hit the ground running. Symbols, so you don't have to re-create your artwork every time you need it, and we'll make use of excellent third-party extensions to help you get things done faster. Along the way, I'll talk about advance topics such as exporting your designs to Flash Catalyst. Using text in prototypes, creating simple and complex rollovers, and manipulating Fireworks HTML for a more realistic user experience. In short, I'll show you how to make your life easier by saving time and cutting down on the frustrations of miscommunication and last minute changes.
So, let's kick back, get comfortable, and watch some Fireworks.
