No mat in the bathroom, no shampoo, no shower gel, no hair dryer, no telephone for external calls, very poor breakfast, no personnel during the night, noizy street (guys screaming over the night)
The hotel was extremly clean, tidy & friendly, we stayed for the tour de france weekend and the hotel manager was extremly helpful with public transport information etc,in addition to all this the hotel was great value
New, modern hotel with very good equipment in rooms.
Everything about the Mainport Design Hotel in Rotterdam is a thoughtful, and comfortable design experience. From it's location overlooking the historic harbor and adjacent to the Erasmus Bridge to position next to the Tram transit stop...is a well connected position in Rotterdam. My room was very comfortable and a high-design style. Service was excellent throughout, not stuffy or pretentious, but well mannered and accessible. Some 5-star hotels trying too hard to be exceptional, making the visitor feel like it's a privilege just being a guest. But I felt that the hotel and staff really are proud of their facility and are eager to share the good vibe with their clients. Only getting to stay two nights.
Location, size of rooms Over decorated, bit to dark
nice room
nice large room (studio)
the decor was very interresting and we enjoyed that Bad service, i.e. room was not cleaned thoroughly, soap and paper ran out during our stay, two lightbulbs weren't working, coffee/tea supplies was not replenished at all during our stay.. The room lay-out was a bit tight and the bedstead sticks out very far, making it very easy to knock your hips when walking around the bed.
the service of the hotel staff, the size of the room, the view from the room. The main light in the room didn't work properly, the shower was broken...
Very comfortable room, relaxed atmosphere
Friendly and professional restaurant staff Single bed- when was the last time an adult slept in a single bed!
Cosy environment, interesting design, beautiful furniture and paintings. The staff were courteous and proficient in their jobs. The hotel was a bit too far from the city center.
Heating system was too bad !! very cold...
The staff were very attentive and helpful.
I liked the freindly nature of the staff, as well as the location of the hotel. Also this is Roseanne Hill who was booked under Diane's booking and stayed in rrom 1101 with my son. yes, breakfast could have been more fresh and varied. The chair in my hotel room fell apart as i sat on it, causing a small but painful injury to my right arm. I am considering making a claim on this. The windows in the room could not close properly, and we did not have control of the heating in our room as it was centrally controlled. Therefore we had to have extra bedding. The hotel was convenient for our trip in other ways.Also on the hotel review, it staed that we would have a free welcome drink on our arrival. The staff were not awre of this when we asked, therefore we did not get our free drink.
Nice & modern. Bit minimalistic but all things you need in a room. Cool late night bar. I wasn't convinced about the flatscreen TV within the mirror so you couldn't turn it. Parking is extra but they give you a discount as it gets pricey very quickly.
Amenities, Nespresso machine were good! TV was very strange. And function of 'Smart TV'(?) didn't work. They didn't give a full detail of method for 'Smart TV' operation. Even remote control didn't work well.
Very stylish hotel. Futuristic. TV in the mirror. Nice!! Excellent breakfast. They even make omelets. This is rare in Europe. Super great staff. Friendly, very helpful. Parking expensive. Even though the hotel does give a discount.
Location is what we were looking for. Very good hotel with friendly staff. Would go back and also recommend this place
Friendly staff,nice clean rooms We were given 10th floor room which is not ideal but maybe that was the only one availble.
The staff are excellent. The rooms are old,... needs major upgrade.
In general the hotel is very old. The room had a weird smell. The worst Hilton ever!!!
It was close to the casino & a nice hotel A little pricey
Hotel well positioned near to centre and walking distance to rail station. Good value for money with competant staff. Unfortunately a wedding party was staying at hotel on the Saturday, and were noisily walking the corridors till 3-30am. I'm sure an isolated case though.
The hotel is renovated and up to the latest standards of comfort and luxury. It is quiet and soundproofed. Food is excellent. The only thing to criticize is Internet speed but they do offer a fast paid version if you need that.
The big bed, size of room, friendliness of staff, the tram stop right across the street from the hotel. Did not like that we could not use the fridge for our own things, and moving anything inside would incur a charge.
The staff we encountered was excellent in all areas of the facility, friendly, helpful and professional minor maintenance in the room was required - broken hair blower hose, poor ventalation in the the bathroom
location close to the town centre, beds very comfortable, possibility to smoke in the room the staff was extremely rude especially the night staff, I also found them quite aggressive
Hotel is dated but very clean. The breackfast is delicious No parking space and the public parking is very very expensive.Free parking from 23 to 12 Saturday to Sunday.
nice hotel lovely bed and pillows, quiet hotel with good service nothing, will definately stay there again
bedroom (clean, tidy, good atmosphere); breakfast, lunch, dinner (all very good); total atmosphere on the boat was good
We eat in the Lido Cafe Style Restraunt and also the Ala-Cart more upmarket Restaurant onboard and enjoy them both and the value they offered...
great experience to stay on the famous ship.rooms where really nice with lots of space. location
I feel back in the good old times and it gave me a warm impression. no complaints
The food and room were excellant!! the querkyness of the place was a great +. A little out of the way, but taxis were on hand. FAB++++ Did not really see Many staff, apart from reception to ask questions to
nice accomodation, but very expensive food and drink onboard and a quite remote location some distance from the centre. remote location and the high cost of onboard food and drink.
historic ambiance interior rooms are confined, in my opinion
The hotel was very good value, the rooms were well kept and the staff were very frienly.
Location. Breakfast good. Style of rooms was not that I excepted. Whole floor carpet was awful, totally different style than other things. Excepted also more from SPA: No private rooms for changing clothes. No bath jacket + shoes at room.
Very loud, no alternative room available, under renovation, no fitness area.
We loved the view at the town and the harbour from the 13. etage. The breakfast was good, but expensive. The room was excellent.
Room was fantastic and room service excellent. Would go again
Perfect view from the 12th floor. Nice bar, good service. Cool room.
Great location and good connection to public transport Bathroom was rather small
The Staff were the kind I would happily employ and had great temperaments suitable to the `Industry. Good position for Museums and a quick ride to Theaters. Beds too soft and ended up with a backache.Pillows too thin for comfort of neck. Smart tap design in bathroom was difficult to decipher re bath or shower etc until shown and no signage or directions to tell you how to use them. Design upmarket utilitarian and found anywhere. Usual expensive mini bars and snacks.
Views from all areas Swivel chairs in water bar too fast after a few drinks!
Swimming pool and sauna/steamroom were excellent, and free internet access very useful. Easy to find and accessible to tram and metro. Breakfast was expensive.
Very central location. Next to de Bijenkorf. The room itself is al little bit out-dated. Curtains are a greyish white instead of white. Bed is not the newest of beds. But for the price ok.
Central location. Near the train station and near several bars/cafes
well located in the centre of the city
very elegant, new and hip room interior design. Impressive bathroom. Very clean. Central position. Good breakfast also a bit expensive for the quality. noise from street
great location,nice bathroom cleanliness of my room,view to the backside,wifi with charge
One of the worst rooms I have ever stayed - very depressing. Lighting was awful as was furniture. Why such a big room (defined 'suite') if over half is just empty space? It looked like a prison cell.
Room was nice, not small, extra pillows, mini-bar, some magazines, bathtub (not a shower) in the bathroom.
Your women personal, very receptive, kind and nice. The position of hotel is in a very nice town area. Is not possible to have something for eat after 11 PM. Fun from toilette is working continously with high noise.
The rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable We didnt take the breakfast which was a little expensive when our party was 6 people. I think yours should be inclusive of breakfast
Location, price, bar, availability of lifts
It was convenient. Closing time of kitchen - 22:30h.
comfort, nice environment, free parking and good breakfast
............. the staff dont have answers for alot of my question . so far away from the central . noisy most of the time .
nothing special normal
close to the centrum, easy to find when we had breakfast on Monday morning, the personeel were already cleaning the tables around and preparing them for lunch. We felt like we are disturbing them... (we were in time for the breakfast)...
Conveniently located near Erasmus University, and bus stop is right in front. I was offered upgrade (superior > executive) at EUR25/night upon C/I, which included free minibar w/ Nespresso & mineral water, bath lobe, slippers, broadband access (upgrade from wifi), and high floor (less noise and better view), which I though was a good deal. Room was spacious, nice and clean. Comfy firm mattress. Breakfast was offered at two levels, EUR 9.50 for continental, or EUR 19 for buffet (many choices of meat/cheese/pastries/juice, enough for consecutive stay). 'Breakfast included' rate meant buffet. Dinner was good, with enough selection of glass wines, a little pricey though. No other restaurants nearby, except for on-campus HOT SPAR and food court.
Close to where I had my appointment. Breakfast intake done by not very friendly Asian female person. Let her start with a smile in the morning.
Hotel could not have been better, a little bit out of the centre of Rotterdam but that's why we chose it - very close to the Feyernoord football stadium (a football match was the reason for our trip) and a couple of minutes drive off the motorway. Our stay could not have been better. The staff were also excellent, so was the free car parking which was in plentiful supply! Not really. It was aimed at business people judging by the location but there were mainly tourists when we were there. Maybe an outdoor play area would have been useful however there was free use of games inc Playstation and some childrens toys.
Hotel clean with nice lobby and staff very helpful. Breakfast was excellent Prices of drinks in minibar too expensive
good breakfast beds and other room furniture not really up to date for 4 star hotel
Accommodating staff, modern classy hotel, superb breakfast, inexpensive bar convenient for city break.
We liked the friendly, helpful, professional staff and the spacious room, as well as the central location of the hotel wrt the train station, museums, city centre and other places of tourist interest.
Very good location in the city center and only 5 minutes walk from the railway station. Very big room (double) and quiet.
The room. It was very silence Non smoker
Good central hotel next to canal. our booking from booking.com was lost. luckily the hotel had 2 spare rooms.if not this would have been very problematic.
Very central. Clean. Lovely old building features in the hotel. The staff did not communicate at all with us unless we did from our side. We were never asked whether we were satisfied with our room or if there was anything we needed, not even before checking out. It was as though they were not interested in the guests. Even the hotel owners did not bother to converse with guests.
This was an excellent value, lovely room & breakfast.
The location near city center
Staff friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Excellent location.
Great location within walking distance of main square. Hotel was comfortable and we had a nice large room overlooking the canal.
Location was great. Breakfast was very nice and price was good.
Very functional, no problems
Friendly staff, clean and nice accommodation, good location, and a great continental breakfast
Very comfortable and clean hotel. Delicious breakfast and very friendly service.
Spacious rooms, good quality furniture and comfortable beds, modern design, excellent breakfast, professional service and sufficient free parking near the hotel Welcome pack in the room with coffee/tea did not contain the coffee and tea.
Hotel staff are quite friendly and a great assist on info about getting around town Not at all! Rather I regret that I had to leave too soon! the info on distance from the Schipol airport on the web should be more accurate though.
Everything Brand New. Staff very keen to please. Will definitely use again next time in Rotterdam Everything was perfect
comfortable bed limited parking possibilities
Very helpful staff and we were pleased to stay there
It was a very espacious hotel, the rooms (bathroom and sleeping area), the restaurant, the hall,... Very nice staff and professional. Food (diner and breakfast) was excellent. I cannot say anything, maybe if they had a swimming-pool, could be the perfect hotel of the area :)
great restaurant, great staff, great room! more for groups, and a bit out of the way of the city, but there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel.
modern, clean locked room window, strange smells, bar area
Free parking, Huge bed, Bathroom. Ideal place to stay when visiting Blijdorp zoo. Luxurious room for 100 EUR. Sheets were stained although the rest of the room was clean, Breakfast was not included and expensive , so we didn't eat there. Hotel is very huge building, not very romantic place to eat. We had to pay a warranty of 50 EUR when we checked in, and they "forgot" to tell us. When I saw the receipt of my VISA, I had to ask what this 50 EUR is for.
A wonderful meal, a comfy bed The room was a little too hot and with the window open, we suffered from mosquito bites
Room layout Breakfast reception and area layout could be improved
Ease of access to Rotterdam Central, great restuarants nearby and warm confortable rooms and services
very good location not being able to open the windows
Perfect location, large, cosy rooms, nice balconies and very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent value for money.
clean, comfort, cordial staff
Easy Tram access to Train Station, Service staff attentive to my needs, Quiet rooms, availability of Internet in lobby
the hotel is near at the shopping centre and musea.
Great location - just next to the metro station, and in walking distance from the shopping area, museums and restaurants, 10 min walk from the central station. Very convenient. Car parking seems expensive, but compared to the prices in the city, it's a bargain :) Lovely view from the hotel room of the Rotterdam panorama. Room was clean, comfy beds. Plus in the lobby there was a screen with train information - very handy. The sauna was not hot enough :(
The hotel is like a film set, very special. Staff are polite and helpful, a rare thing today.
the ambiance is wonderful. we stayed there the night before a cruise with the Holland America Line and as everything inside of this hotel reminds you of the former HAL it was wonderful to stay there. although the hotel has an elevator in the hotel, the hotel entrance it is not suitcase-friendly. It could be that we have missed the elevator outside the hotel but if that is the case this facility is not clearly mentioned.
The "funky" nature of the room design; it retained an atmosphere in keeping with it's past. I couldn't get a meal until 8.30pm so had to eat elsewhere; residents should be able to eat when they want to.
A fabulous resturant with friendly and attentive service, great atmosphere Nothing
Spacy rooms, pleasant restaurant environment service in restaurant is poor. Staff is not watching clients.
Sense of history in this old building set close to shore. Great shower
Old style of hotel Could not open the window (just doesn't work), also no possibility to make a tea in the room - should pay for room service
It took me back to the times when passengers (including inmigrants) used it as the main cruise and passenger terminal (old and nice). I liked it in general
The hotel reflects in a fantastic way the early 20th century atmosphere. It's nice to see how the actual requirements for comfort have been matched with the originality and look of the building dating from around 1910. It's worse visiting the hotel as well as the great looking restaurant. Well done.
the hotel offered a spacious room with a special design. the location was perfect for our activity in the cruise terminal. bar was closed to early
the room was lovely with a great view of the river I felt the room was a little shabby, there was a piece of wood missing from above the door, also one of the 2 basins in the bathroom was leaking. there was dirty plates left outside the room opposite for nearly 2 days
Well located at the harbour, good connection to roads, beautiful view on part of the harbour with ships frequently passing by. Good beds.
The service was excellent, close to the best I have had, food was good, and the location was wonderful
Pleasant staff, quiet room good choice of TV Faint smell of smoke even though in non smoking room
Bar/restaurant deck terrace is superb. The riverside setting is pleasant and you can walk out into town. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was simple but comfortable and the shower was the best ever. No air conditioning in the rooms. They can be uncomfortably hot in summer. The restaurant food choice was limited and the quality not brilliant.
The view from the rooms and bar area is great also food and service was top quality.
Friendly and efficient welcome, excellent location and plenty of space and spaces to relax. The view of the ships on the river was unbeatable.We vwere there for a party and the buffet was excellent, and the serving staff were very efficient and good company. We stayed onlyn one night - should have been three
Near enough to the business district / Europoort but far enough away. Excellent waterfront location.
Hotel was fine, The restaurant was extremely dissapointing, my wife ordered an asparagus salad which had no asparagus in it and my steak was overcooked. We got no apologies from the management or the kitchen, extremely dissapointing.
Always good service, friendly and clean, good sized rooms and the restaurant is very good.
Close to airport, good size rooms very modern and clean. Very good staff
Good access for the airport Room looking a little tired with redecoration necessary to one wall where there seemed to be some structural problem.
The hotel itself is great and is very modern and the breakfast is excellent. The hotel is literally an airport hotel as it very close to the airport but it is not close to the centre. To go to the centre you'd have to catch a 15 -20 min bus (the bus stop is minutes way from the hotel) which costs 2.50 Euro pp one way.
The airport shuttle bus did not start early enough for my flight departure
if you like one night in the hospithal incl hospithal beth this is the best place in town
Free parking, 24h reception Dirty rooms. No cleaning during stay. It takes a lot of time to check in/out.
Worked and shopped not really
good meal, comfortable room Poor quality towels rather worn and rather small!
The breakfast was terrific and staff very helpful
Relax with peace and quiet in comfort nope
Good, new room with all the facilities i needed The restaurant
The stuff is helpable, room is nice and clean. Very cozy. Hotel environment is surrunded by landscape plant which is fabulous. The location is suburben, not very convenient coz you have to take train to Schiedam station then take taxi to hotel.
The service was excellent, could not fault staff either in reception or in the restaurant. The mosquitoes etc in the hotel. I had so many bites that I had to receive medical treatment when arriving home. Would definately recommend if they got rid of the flying insects.
The staff impressed with their friendliness and assistance. First class. The pillows in my bed had a most unpleasant odour althoughthe covers and the pillow itself appeared clean. Had to sleep without a pillow.
Relaxed, good helpful staff, child friendly The pool should be heated. The hotel description should have stated the pool was not heated
Comfortable quiet hotel, nice breakfast. Location is away from town and public transport is 10 mins walk. No shops or restraurants within walking distance and hotel dinner was not great.
So convenient- a really great value for the price. Super clean. The hotel restaurant is way over priced for what you get. The food has gourmet prices, but it not that great and is small portions.
No BBC or sports TV channels, missed FA Cup semi-final Would have liked tea or coffee in room everyday, not just first day
Personal being kind and trying to help in everything special we needed.
The service was fantastic with every interaction. I would definetly recommend and stay again! Clean & plenty of free parking. The train station to central Rotterdam is a short 2 block walk away.
nothing staff must learn customer is right and that its nice to be made feel welcome , I could go on but I dont have all day , Its the hotel that doesn't want guests

Living With
For more stories of families living with MG, see our MG stories on Strongly, the MDA blog, or MG stories on The Mighty.
Dear Friends:
In 1997, I started to feel weak and tired all the time, especially in my neck. Basic functions that I'd always taken for granted — like chewing, swallowing and talking — suddenly became difficult. One of my eyes began to droop and my arms felt weak.
I hoped these were signs of some temporary illness, but my symptoms continued and, finally, physicians at an MDA clinic near my home discovered I had myasthenia gravis.
About three years after this diagnosis, I became quite ill and required a variety of medications, therapies and treatments prescribed by my doctors. I worried about how having this disease would affect my future, my family and my career as a pediatric psychotherapist, which requires a lot of talking with clients and health care professionals.
The good news is, I've essentially recovered; I've been able to resume a full schedule at work, with a few accommodations to help me conserve my energy, and to continue to do my home gardening, which I love. Now, I don't worry so much about MG.
If you or someone you love has just received a diagnosis of MG, you'll learn, as I did, that a variety of treatments can be used to control it. By learning more about MG and by partnering with your physician, you'll discover that you can become an active participant in your treatment plan, adjust to your diagnosis and take control in maintaining the quality of your life.
These MDA myasthenia gravis information pages will provide you with essential information about the symptoms of MG and the best treatments for it, which are different for each person.
You'll learn that MG causes progressive weakness and fatigue in the body's voluntary muscles, without affecting the musculature of the heart. Although it can weaken the muscles that control breathing, MG usually doesn't shorten life expectancy. You'll find details about these treatments — from drugs to surgery and other procedures — that will help you discuss your options with a physician.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association can help guide you through this process in many ways. The doctors at my MDA clinic have established an appropriate course of treatment. I visit the clinic regularly, and they continue to adjust the treatment to any changes in my needs. The local MDA staff were there for me on the day I was diagnosed and have been available for support ever since.
Since my diagnosis many years ago, I've continued to work, and my husband and I have raised two children who are now adults. I lead a very active life and in addition to my gardening, I enjoy community service, sailing, travelling and the arts. At times, I've had to make adjustments. When I've had episodes of extreme weakness, my family has been there to help me.
Changes at work can be challenging, but remember: If you have lasting or recurring disability from MG or any other disease, the law entitles you to reasonable workplace accommodations and equal employment opportunities.
And remember that MDA is here to help. If you have unanswered questions, contact a member of your local MDA staff. With the help of the MDA staff and others who understand your illness, this is a journey that you don't have to take alone.

I wrote the above code to open a new window from home window . but its opening a new tab in IE8 . Is there a way to modify this to open a new window instead of new tab in IE8
The only guaranteed way is to change the web browser's new window settings, which can only be done by the person using the web browser.
It is possible to open in a new window by specifying a width/height for the window, but there's no guarantee all web browsers will behave that way.
I agree but a different code is opening a new browser window in the same browser but this is not able to do that .. i think i can modify my code to do so ...thanks
As a web surfer I find it very annoying when some website wants to open a new window in general. I consider it very spammy and think x2 about visiting sites like that again.
New tabs however, I'm ok with. I'd suggest you just stick with new tab.
it still works in IE8 i guess the problem is with the javascript that i assigned to the variable if i give a url in place of script it holds good and working fine i need to figure out a way for this .. any how thanks for your help
this is for internal use and we need to do this for our app thanks for ur comment.
So you need to configure each copy of the browser to always open pages that request it in a new window. Of course that will then apply to requests from all web sites and not just your internal one.


text: According to the National Enquirer, Britney Spears is searching for a new guy already and is doing so on online dating sites. Apparently she has limited it to some e-mails and some flirting but I find it very hard to believe that she is even allowed online and there is no way anyone around her is going to let her talk to strangers. They just aren't. Everyone Britney sees or talks to is planned out in advance. The only surprise person in Britney's life is whatever barista she runs into at Starbucks. The only decisions Britney is allowed to make are what drinks she orders and what she can wear. That all being said, I wonder what a Britney Spears dating profile would say. Judging from the photo above, you would probably not want to cheat on her.

Tornados split at Patriot InvitationalMarch 12, 2011
Brevard was able to take down Francis Marion in the opener but fell to Rollins later that evening
Florence, S.C. – The Brevard College softball team split a pair of games in the Patriot Invitational on Saturday afternoon. The Tornados were able to take down the host school, Francis Marion University 3-0 but fell in the nightcap 8-0 against #17 Rollins College.
The Tornados moved to 17-6 after Saturday's doubleheader.
Game One: Brevard 3, Francis Marion 0
Box Score
Brevard did all of their offensive work in one inning of Saturday's opener. In the fifth inning, Sarah Carlos (Eagle River, Alaska) led off with a walk. Meredith Davenport (High Point, N.C.) singled to move Carlos up to second. Ally Davenport (High Point, N.C.) walked to load the bases. Next up was Brittany Fowler (Waterloo, Ontario, CANANDA) grounded into a fielder's choice for the second out, bringing Kayla Dorsey (West Palm Beach, Fla.) to the plate. With bases loaded and two-outs, Dorsey roped a double which cleared the bases giving Brevard a 3-0 lead, which they held the remainder of the game.
Martika Elmore (Fayetteville, N.C.) went the distance for the Tornados. She allowed just five hits in her shutout. She struck out eight and walked just one in her ninth win of the season. Elmore is now 9-3 on the season.
Game Two: #17 Rollins 8, Brevard 0
Box Score
The Tornados were unable to get the bats going in the nightcap as they fell to #17-ranked Rollins College 8-0. Alyssa Miller (Davie, Fla.) started the game for the Tornados, after allowing two runs, both were earned she was pulled and Elmore took over the pitching duties. Elmore was touched for five runs, two earned through three innings. Miller returned to the circle in the sixth to close out the game. Miller ended up allowing another run on a homer.
Brevard finishes up their run in the Patriot Invitational on Sunday when they play a pair of games. The Tornados open up Sunday with GLIAC opponent, Hillsdale College at 9 a.m. They finish up by taking on Armstrong Atlantic State at 11 a.m.

6 Prosthetic Limbs That Are Works Of Art
Sophie de Oliveira Barata, the London designer who started the Alternative Limb Project, is reinventing the way the world sees prosthetics. Her original bespoke limbs, (like the Snake Arm that amputee Jo-Jo Cranfield wears above) are reminiscent of surrealist works of art, yet serve an important function for the person who wears them. Oliveira Barata hopes that her re-imagining of alternative limbs will help people with disabilities feel more powerful and in control:
"It's drawing attention to their disability in a positive way … Rather than people seeing what's missing, it's about what they've got … Having an alternative limb is about claiming control and saying 'I'm an individual and this reflects who I am … Generally the whole technology is moving towards trying to recapture a lifelike limb that looks realistic and also acts realistic in motion. In this instance I'm doing the complete opposite and I think it does capture that whole childlike imagination — it's like being a superhero with super powers."
I could not love this concept more. I've been obsessing over this concept of limbs as art since I saw amputee athlete Aimee Mullins in a pair of ornate, glass high heel legs in Matthew Barney's Cremaster Cycle.

Cocky Award for Best Super Bowl commercial goes to 'Bud Light Conan O' Brien'
The results of the sixth annual University of South Carolina student Ad Bowl poll are in, and Bud Light wins again, making this the brand's fourth win.
The team from DDB Chicago that created the Bud Light commercial starring Conan O'Brien has been invited to campus to claim the Cocky Award for best overall Super Bowl commercial during I-Comm week in April. Alumnus John Baker, a 2001 journalism graduate, was part of the team that created the ad.
More than 60 students and faculty gathered at Newsplex Sunday, Feb. 1, to critique this year's crop of Super Bowl commercials. Ad Bowl is held annually in conjunction with a South Carolina Honors College course on Super Bowl advertising.
Bonnie Drewniany, who teaches the course and oversees the Ad Bowl, was surprised to see the economy have a dominant role in the ads.
"This year's commercials really captured the essence of what's going on in society," Drewniany said. "Numerous commercials featured the bad economy, from the Bud Light ad that showed office workers facing budget cuts to the Cash4Gold.com ad, which showed MC Hammer selling all his 'bling.' "
In juxtaposition were a series of nostalgic ads.
"There were a number of feel-good ads that helped viewers transport back in time when things were more carefree," Drewniany said. "We saw Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, a remake of the Mean Joe Greene commercial and three charming Budweiser Clydesdale spots."
In the end, Drewniany said, humor and celebrities prevailed, as the Conan O'Brien ad showed the extremes that celebrities will go to earn a quick dollar. The commercial raises the specter of the economy as much as it conveys NBC's desire to showcase O'Brien, who will take the helm of "The Tonight Show" when Jay Leno steps down as host.
Through the Ad Bowl, commercials are rated in three categories – most persuasive, strongest brand identity and most likeable – as well as overall favorite.
"Bud Light- Budget Cut Meeting" and "E*Trade Banking Baby" placed second and third overall, respectively. "Audi-Transporter actor Jason Statham" won in the category of persuasiveness, and "Hyundai-Rivals unhappy Genesis is Car of the Year" won in the category of brand identification. "Bud Light Conan O'Brien" won for both likability and best overall.
BBDO in New York won best overall in 2008 for its "Diet Pepsi Max," with the creative team receiving the Cocky Award in April.

- A2 Review by J.M. de Haas
Price Value Quality
- Nice Custom A-2, But Care In Ordering Review by David G.
- Ordered a horsehide leather A-2 detailed to pre-USAAF AVG specifications. I am delighted with the quality of the jacket and the craftsmanship of the customized leather patches. This is truly an exquisite piece of work. However, be advised that a customized order is COMPLETELY a'la carte. Do not presume you will get all the options on the website ordering form unless you specify each item independently. Also, there is no "customer proof" – a preview for approval prior to assembly and shipping – on final patch production or placement on the jacket. I sent a picture of the desired patch design but not a diagram of the desired placement on the jacket. I also had to order the name tag separately, then either return the jacket to have it sewn on (at my expense) or do it myself. Regardless, it's a nice value and a fine reproduction. US Authentic worked with me through the ordering glitches. (Posted on 12/13/2010)
- Exceptional product Review by Jojo M.
- I received my A2 Horsehide Seal Brown Flying Tigers yesterday and want to thank you for an exceptional product. The A2 by itself is unbelievable in quality for the price but with the blood chit and patches, all painted leather, just brought me to cloud nine, and all in a custom measured jacket. Somebody once mentioned that sleeping in it would result into a "vintage/50 mission look" fast, and I just might do that because it's the only thing missing from this jacket. Thank you very much. (Posted on 7/28/2010)
- Closest to the original I have ever seen Review by John L. and John B. Ramirez 23rd Fighter Group
I would like to take the opportunity to thank the many people who have chosen your flight jackets. I am a proud owner of an A-2. My father was stationed with the remnents of the original Flying Tigers, China Air Task Force and finally the 23rd Fighter Squadron.I bought another A-2 sans patches, he wears it like a glove
I would like to acknowledge your company as to the authenticity of you Flying Tiger A-2.There is a small display at the Air and Space Musuem about the Flying Tigers up on the Second Floor. Your creations are certainly the closest to the "original" both my father and I have ever seen. (Posted on 7/28/2010)
- I am completely satisfied Review by Jack Baringer
- I received my Russet horsehide AVG A-2 last week and I am completely satisfied with the great fit, un-compromised high quality and authenticity of the your product. Additionally, your representative spent a great deal of time patiently helping me to determine the correct size for my jacket. His assistance was invaluable, and I love my new A-2. I have another Goatskin A-2, handmade by an individual, that I purchased over 20 years ago. Amazingly, it still looks like new; and I look forward to enjoying my Flying Tigers A-2 for the next 20 years! Thanks again for your fine product and great customer service! I will not hesitate to recommend your firm to my friends and associates who have admired my new coat. (Posted on 7/28/2010)
- Beautiful jacket Review by Ken Bruitt

- Really exceeded all of my expectations Review by Fred Durtschi
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know I received My Flying Tigers A2 jacket yesterday. I cant tell you how much I appreciate the speed in which you got it to me. I am leaving in the next couple of days TDY and had mentioned it would be nice to have. You guys really exceeded any and all of my expectations. The jacket looks, feels and fits great. You were able to get all my changes and additions and provided what I think is a real quality and authentic work of art at the best price going. Thanks Guys!!

- Quality of workmanship is incredible Review by Jack Manick
I have had my G1 Flying Tiger Jacket for 2 years and I love it more each minute that I wear it. The quality of workmanship of this custom made jacket is incredible. I have gotten may complements and comments from strangers. The best were from men who were in the China/Burma/India Theatre during the war and who caught a glimpse of what they once wore and had to come over to say something to me. I had one lady who was from Taiwan complement the China flag on the blood chit and who said it made her homesick.
Thanks again for a great jacket. (Posted on 7/28/2010)
- Wow, this is a nice jacket Review by Cary Begole
I just got my custom made Flying Tigers jacket. I must say, man, this is nice. It's so nice having a jacket that actually fits me (I'm a little on the short side). A few of my friends were impressed (as was I) when I told them how very quick and reasonably price you guys are. I just wanted to compliment your company and let you know I plan to get a second jacket made in a couple of weeks. Thank you.

Two Marilyn Manson Concerts Cancelled In Russia
Listen to Marilyn Manson Radio on iHeartRadio
Marilyn Manson got an unexpected weekend off after a pair of his shows in Russia were cancelled.
The rocker said via Twitter that Friday's concert in Moscow, which was part of the Park Live Festival, was axed just as the band was about to go onstage because of a bomb threat.
Bomb threats have cancelled our show in Moscow, just as we were about to perform. pic.twitter.com/qPBNJh3bUW
— Marilyn Manson (@marilynmanson) June 27, 2014
And on top of that, protests allegedly forced authorities to deny Manson permission to put on a concert in central Russia on Sunday. The protesters were supposedly accusing Manson of promoting sadomasochism.
Despite the recent setbacks, Manson is set to continue his European tour later this summer. The next leg starts with a show in the Netherlands on August 6th.

• smellfungus •
Pronunciation: smel-fêng-gês • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: A fault-finder, a disagreeable curmudgeon who finds fault in everything, who loves misery and sharing it with others.
Notes: The plural of today's good if cranky word is smellfungi [smell-fun-jee] and it is still used by those familiar with the Sterne-Smollett debate over the relative merits of France and Italy (see Word History). We thought it an oddity that you might find amusing—and useful, in view of the dearth of politically correct terms for such people these days.
In Play: Smellfungi are generally bitterly egotistical people addicted to themselves to the point of constant wretchedness, "That old smellfungus could find fault with the very saints!" By implication such people become a misery to those who know them, "Farthingsworth is a smellfungus who finds enough misery in the world for himself and his acquaintances."
Word History: Tobias Smollett's collection of letters entitled Travels through France and Italy (1766) is remarkable for its persistent criticism of those two countries. Laurence Sterne referred to Smollett (in the photo) as "the learned Smelfungus" in his more sympathetic appraisal of the region in 1767, entitled A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy. Apparently, Sterne felt that Smollett could smell a fungus even where none existed and hence created this funny word. The word has since found a snug niche for itself in the speech of discriminating logophiles. (Polly Graf was shocked to discover such a lexical oddity in her language but we thank her for sharing the voltage with us.)

Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) announced that the inFact[tm] intelligent testbench automation tool now provides full support for the Open Verification Methodology (OVM 2.0). The inFact tool uses systematic algorithms, which allow it to rapidly produce unique, non-redundant test cases. When broad test coverage is important, the inFact tool's ability to move linearly towards coverage closure can reduce test repetition by 10x, providing more complete test, more quickly.
The inFact tool provides plug-and-play interoperability with OVM compliant verification components and sequences, allowing easy creation of intelligent testbenches. OVM sequences provide a powerful modular mechanism for users to describe interesting series of stimulus transactions in a reusable way. Sequences are defined outside the component hierarchy, presenting a straightforward way to develop both directed and constrained-random test cases, without the test writer needing to know the details of how the underlying testbench was developed. Sequences are also hierarchical, so they easily model layered protocols and can also control the interactions of other sequences.
Using an approach such as the graph-based intelligent testbench automation found in the inFact tool to efficiently create verification scenarios and stimuli is a powerful way to enhance advanced verification environments. The inFact tool sequences may be used to augment or replace user-developed sequences in OVM, adding even more horsepower to your verification. When coupled with a proven methodology like OVM, that ties all the tools together, inFact accelerates coverage closure, reduces common verification headaches, and frees up resources to focus on more ambitious verification plans and higher levels of functional coverage. Ultimately, this enables the verification team to exercise the device in a far more comprehensive manner, thereby reducing defects.
About the Open Verification Methodology (OVM)
The OVM is based on the IEEE 1800 SystemVerilog standard and supports design and verification engineers developing advanced verification environments that offer higher levels of integration and portability of Verification IP. The methodology is non-vendor specific and is interoperable with multiple languages and simulators. The OVM is fully open, and includes a robust class library and source code that is available for download.

AW: st: Spss vs Stata
Mon, 2 Aug 2010 16:30:45 +0200
I am more concerned about the flexibility to generate pivot tables than about pretty tables.
My previous example in http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2009-11/msg00238.html was:
Rowvar colvar1 colvar2
1 2 1 2 3
n C% n C% n C% n C% n C%
In order to avoid weeks of Stata programming etc. we decided to generate those tables in SPSS.
So I don't think that it should be a decision either Stata or SPSS.

Betreff: RE: st: Spss vs Stata
I will chime in also, as an SPSS user of 20 years...now converted almost entirely to Stata (except for ANOVA).
While I will agree that SPSS has pretty output, I am also reminded of the old output (thinking SPSS version 4 ish), and the "wow" factor that we SPSS users experienced when they went to the "new" format that was much prettier. Yes, it was nice looking, but those of us who made that transition from SPSS output that looked at lot like today's Stata to the now pretty version also remember the cost. It wasn't severe then, but run practically any routine in SPSS today and it takes much longer to produce that pretty output. Run something modestly complicated and you might as well go get a cup of coffee. Try something akin to a 2 layer xtmixed and you may have to let your SPSS sit overnight. I'm not joking, and I have 64bit whiz-bang machine. Aside from processing speed, SPSS is a complete memory hog that will crash all but the top-end machines if you are a multi-tasker. And then, of course, there the $$$ cost.
Yes, SPSS output looks nice. But even with that nice output it's not publication quality so you STILL end up getting that output to your word processor of choice (or LaTEX) to format for manuscript submission. Maybe some are willing to dedicate the time to SPSS output modification, but personally I found that more frustrating than a simple copy/paste.
So for my 2-cents (and the Stata monitors), I would hope that Stata would NOT dedicate much effort in making pretty output. What was and continues to be refreshing to me as a relatively new Stata user is the SPEED that you can get things done. The syntax language is intuitive and brief (compared to SPSS and SAS), and it runs routines very fast. The output isn't pretty but it gives you what you need. True, it would be nice to have better copy/paste functionality going from Stata to Excel or Word, but aside from that, I don't really need all that pretty output from my statistics package. Let's face it--we don't rely on Excel to do our statistics, so why rely on Stat to do publication quality tables?
As for graphics, Stata's graphics commands are more difficult to master but the end result is far better than SPSS graphics. Mike Mitchell's "Visual Guide to Stata Graphics" is a must-have for newbie Stata users, as it gets you up and running quickly for making very nice graphics. Before long, you can tweak your code to publication quality...
What SPSS still maintains over Stata is better ANOVA routines, particularly Repeated-Measures fixed-factor designs. Stata treats RM designs a bit strangely, I believe because it seems to "wrap" ANOVA code around Regression methods. It's non-intuitive and can provide results that aren't typical of RM ANOVA (consider how it uses full-n for fixed-factor RM ANOVA without listwise elimination of subjects who are missing an observation). I would much prefer to see Stata invest in re-working their ANOVA code and analyses so that it is more consistant with SAS or SPSS methodologies, offers more in terms of assumption testing (ex. Sphericity tests), and is more intuitive.
But pretty output--that's not high on my priority list.

Subject: Re: st: Spss vs Stata
My two cents. Graphics is the only bad aspect of Stata, but SPSS is almost as rudimentary in graphics. If you want publication quality graphics quickly, the only package to consider is SigmaPlot. I do analysis in Stata, quickly collapse and reshape data for graphs, and copy the reshaped data into SigmaPlot. Excel cannot match any of SigmaPlot's capabilities, and it exports to EPS, PDF, or JPG. Also, you can copy & paste figures without background directly to powerpoint for a nice colored background.

Team event?
No in the schedule, but itt could happen. Its all depending on the coaches and academies. With the Gracie Invitational only 4 academies entered teams. Some had to make up the numbers from other teams. Its all down to pre planning and if an academy wants to put forward a team they have to make sure that they have the numbers in place.
I will see if it can be done closer to the date as I will have to find out if logistically we can do it (time at the venue, medals etc).
We are happy there is more interest and if more academies can get it together we would put on a team only event.
Drop me a mail about it then and we shall put on a team battle!!
i paid online what do i need to bring to prove that ive paid?

Do you know this guy?
Portland Police need our help tracking down this man. He's accused of robbing a U.S. Bank branch on S.W. Harrison St. near Portland State University just after 1:30 p.m. Monday. He allegedly handed over a note demanding cash and fled on foot toward the PSU campus with some money -- investigators rarely reveal how much robbers mange to steal in the early stages of the investigation.
Anyone with information about this robbery should contact Det. Brett Hawkinson at (503) 823-1080, firstname.lastname@example.com; or the Portland office of the F.B.I. at (503) 224-4181.

Aberdeen: Rory McIlroy made light work of the windy conditions to fire a course record seven-under 64 in the opening round of the Scottish Open, at Royal Aberdeen, on Thursday.
Sweden's Kristoffer Broberg established a new mark of 65 earlier, but it lasted only two hours as former world number one McIlroy carded eight birdies and one bogey.
The Northern Irishman even drove the green at the downwind par four 13th — a distance of 436 yards — in the traditional curtain-raiser to next week's British Open. 'Everything was pretty much on," McIlroy said.
"I controlled my ball flight really well, which is the key to me playing well in these conditions and on these courses.
I've been working over the last 10 days on keeping the ball down, hitting easy shots and taking spin off it
And I went out there today and really trusted what I practised.
"I'm driving the ball really well and I feel if I can get driver in my hand and have an advantage on the field, I should do it," he added.
Defending champion Phil Mickelson looked set to finish four under par, only to three-putt the 18th for the American's only bogey of the day.
The scoring overall was excellent, given the wind was gusting up to 20mph, with McIlroy's fellow Northern Irishman Michael Hoey carding a 66 and former world number one Luke Donald of England and Scot Marc Warren shooting rounds of 67.
Broberg, who won four times on the Challenge Tour in 2012, said: "I played really, really well. I hit very good shots and a lot of close ones, so this helps a bit. And I kept away from those bunkers and stayed patient.
"I woke up at 4am and saw the wind out there. There was a little less wind to start, but it got more windy after eight holes. So, it's the same for everybody."

Q & A: Amey Mathews of Vegan Eats & Treats
It's the return of our blogging Q & A! This time, we're joined by the super talented and lovely Amey Mathews. We are so excited to have Amey return as a speaker for Vida Vegan Con 2013—whether you can make it or not, check out her blog, Vegan Eats & Treats. We love Amey for her positive, genuine attitude. She is smart as hell and is an endless font of adorable little drawings.
Where do you see blogging going?
It's amazing how many blogs there are now—which is really great. When I first started blogging, there were just a small handful of vegan blogs. Today there are so many, that everyone can find a sense of community for exactly the way they enjoy eating and being vegan. There are all the PPK community blogs, all the raw date-ball blogs, the no-salt-oil-sugar blogs, vegan athlete blogs, and so on. Sometimes I'll stumble onto a new blog that's outside of my usual favorites, and find a whole sea of comments from other bloggers I've never discovered before… It's pretty amazing.
Also, I was just looking at some old posts the other day and looking at how crappy my pictures were. Ha ha! There are a handful of bloggers like Hannah at BitterSweet, or Susan at Fat Free Vegan, or Allyson at Manifest Vegan, who take SUCH great pictures—I think they've really helped raise the bar for the rest of us. Even if you're not gonna spend 30 minutes staging your picture (I gotta eat dinner, man!), you're also not going to be satisfied with a yellowish picture with dirty dishes in the background.
One last thing, is how many bloggers are turning their blogs into cookbook deals. It's amazing and exciting! I wish I could write recipes, but it's really not my strong point. But if anyone needs little doodles for their cookbook, I'm here to help.
What's your favorite photo editor?
I use ArcSoft Photo Studio if I want to actually cut and paste and combine my doodles and photos and all that, but usually I just use PhotoShop for simple things like brightness or color balance. The best is making dinner before dark so I can just use natural light, and not need a photo editor at all.
What blogging trends are you liking? Disliking?
Liking: Great photography—especially the folks who really take photography seriously. I love that blog writing is evolving into something much more focused and not just "I had some seitan and broccoli for dinner," like it was in the old days of blogging. I'm LOVING all the mofo themes, and people who are doing a different theme every day for the whole week. It's a cool idea even for non-mofo-season! In general, I love that the blog designs seem to be getting more attractive, more classy, and more appealing to look at. I love that Blogger—my old faithful blog host—has really improved its design options…and I LOVE that we can finally respond to individual comments on Blogger!
Disliking: my number-one blogging pet PEEVE is the whole weird giveaway thing that is going on. Kittee calls it "Like Gate," which I think is hilarious. This is the situation where someone says "I"m giving away a free pizza coupon"…"but first you have to 'like' me on Facebook, and 'like' the company on Facebook, and tweet about this contest to everyone you went to kindergarten with, and leave 10 voicemail messages on your parents' answering machine, and leave a comment for every single thing you do, so that I have 1,000,000 comments by the end of it!" It makes me grumpy, as you can tell. For me, it makes the blogosphere feel crass and corporate and pander-y, instead of having it feel like a community of friends who want to do something fun like have a giveaway for the fun of it. I feel that as vegan bloggers, we should be serving one another (our fellow vegans or aspiring vegans), and not serving the companies. I don't mind product reviews or cookbook reviews, because I think that's news everyone can use…but I think some discretion is needed. Changing the whole tone of your blog post into something with an advertising tone just so someone can win something worth $5 isn't worth it to me.
What blogs/websites do you read?
I read so many blogs! I usually read anything in my blog crawl on the side of my blog. I love reading randomofo.com SO MUCH—I've marked so many new favorites this mofo season. A few of my standby favorites are: ColdandSleepyCooks, Meet the Wikos, Cake Maker to the Stars, Tahini Too, Manifest Vegan, Julie Hasson… But gosh, the list goes on!
What's your go-to vegan meal in Seattle?
I actually lived in Seattle, for 2½ years after I graduated college. Back then, I was just a vegetarian—not yet a vegan, and Seattle had only a couple of all-veg spots. But halfway through my Seattle stint, a beautiful veg spot called Carmelita opened up, quite near my house. I was a pretty poor youngster back then, working part time for minimum wage…so I only went to Carmelita once, when my aunt took me out for dinner. I haven't been back to Seattle in years, but next time I go, I'd really like to go back to my old neighborhood and try out Carmelita again. For old time's sake!
In Portland?
Oh Portland! I love Dovetail Bakery and Back to Eden most of all, because where I live (in Santa Cruz), no one is making delicious vegan baked goods. I usually load up, and come home with a huge supply that go straight to the freezer for the times when I want a baked treat and I don't want to bake it myself. For proper nutrition, my two favorites are Native Bowl and Blossoming Lotus. I love the bowls at Native Bowl—so full of flavor and veggies and proteins…filling and fun! I also really love the food at Blossoming Lotus—so far I haven't ever had a dud there. Once I got to go there for brunch, and that was totally amazeballs!

Great interview! I am guilty of doing several giveaways in the past, but it's something I'm trying to move away from (it's a process) as I totally get your point about it being totally inorganic and unnatural. Quality content that others are going to get value from is much more important than how many comments/fans/likes you have.

I'm running on a Backtrack 4 Pre-Final hard drive install and upgraded to ubuntu 9.04
The only problem I'm having is when I run:
I recieve the following error:Code:sslstrip -a -k -f
Any thoughts?Code:Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/sslstrip", line 33, in <module> from sslstrip.DataShuffler import DataShuffler ImportError: No module named sslstrip.DataShuffler

We dont support that type of upgrade. Try the Ubuntu forums.
No problem, I understand. I've seen others on the forum say that they're running backtrack4 with 9.04 and since I've been using it as my primary OS I thought I'd try it, but it doesn't seem to be worth the hassle.

ABC senior journalist Sarah Ferguson is working on a new political documentary series for the national broadcaster. The project, which will follow a style similar to the series Labor in Power and The Howard Years will explore the Rudd/Gillard years of Australian politics. The ABC has commissioned three one-hour episodes which will air in 2015. Ferguson will be replaced on 7.30 by Chris Uhlmann until regular host Leigh Sales returns on September 8.
School drama for SBS
SBS has commissioned a new four-part drama, The Principal, from the producers of Rake and Jack Irish and the writers of East West 101. The Principal is the story of a teacher who becomes a school principal of a multi-ethnic school in Sydney's south-west but must grapple with resistance to reform and the death of a student. Essential Media's Ian Collie said the series would explore "topical themes of masculinity, identity and community". It will air in 2015.
Redfern Now follow-up
The ABC will follow up its award-winning, critically acclaimed drama Redfern Now with a telemovie, Promise Me. The telemovie "explores the impact of a violent crime on two women and the fight for justice that ensues". Anthony Hayes will join Deborah Mailman, Wayne Blair, Rarriwuy Hick, Lisa Flanagan, Kelton Pell and Kirk Page on the project. The ABC's head of indigenous programming, Sally Riley, said she was "thrilled" to have Redfern Now back in production.
Molly gets INXS treatment
The Seven Network will follow up its pop-music miniseries INXS: Never Tear Us Apart with a new pop-themed drama about the life of music journalist Molly Meldrum. The project, simply titled Molly, will be produced by John Molloy, Michael Gudinski and Mark Morrissey and directed by Kevin Carlin from a script by Matt Cameron and Liz Doran. The project finalised its funding last week, and is expected to go into production later this year.
Journos' Canberra tales on Foxtel
Foxtel has commissioned a six-part political thriller from Matchbox Pictures, set in Canberra, which tells the story of an investigative journalist who unearths a "deadly" secret. The series is based on the books The Mandarin Code andThe Marmalade Files by journalists Steve Lewis and Chris Uhlmann. It will be produced by Penny Chapman, and written by Belinda Chayko, Matt Cameron, Marieke Hardy, Alice Addison, Tommy Murphy, Kris Mrksa and Greg Waters.
Seven looks for Olympic partner
The Seven Network is in talks with Foxtel about a potential agreement to be spun out of Seven's Olympics deal. Seven secured the rights to the summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and Tokyo in 2020 and the winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in 2018, in a deal worth more than $150 million. Seven CEO Tim Worner told Fairfax the volume of content - about 150 hours a day - meant "there will be many opportunities for ... prospective partnerships".
ITV goes into the wild
ITV Studios Australia is partnering with three-time Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Kim Wolhuter to produce a series of wildlife documentaries. ITV managing director Anita Jacoby met Wolhuter in Zimbabwe in January and said she was struck by his stories of "living for months on end with wild animals". ITV's head of development Micah Hewson is working on the three projects with Wolhuter on three documentaries, on the elephant, cheetah and African wild dog.

Country Artist David Nail + Liberty Creek Vineyards Support Operation Gratitude
David Nail, Grammy nominated country singer and Liberty Creek Vineyards are working together with the "Tunes for Troops" for the holidays.

This product is OK, but........
By Doug
from Newberg, OR
Plastic ring w/set screws is a major weakness in design. Will not support heavier shoes. If I recommended this product to a friend I would first suggest to fasten plastic rings by drilling & screwing them directly to the upright support bar.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good Shoe Rack
By Daver
from Regina Canada
I like it. It looks nice and it saves space. It's a great way to store shoes. For bigger shoes the shoe holders might be too close to put each right next to each other. It would be nice if they could have a product like this but with the ability to store boots instead of shoes.

Great for keeping shoes off the floor!

I love this product. I was looking for something to help organize shoes when coming in the house. Fit perfectly in bathroom and doesn't take up a lot of space. I ordered another one for my bedroom. A friend saw it, and wanted to know where I bought it. She was going to order one.
My shoes are now organized
By nature glimpses
from bellingham, WA
My shoes were in dis-array in the bottom of my closet. I couldn't really see what shoes I had.I bought two of these and now I can easily access my shoes. It helped me to figure out what shoes I really wanted to keep and what ones I could pass on to the thrift store, etc for others to use.happy with the purchase.
Works well

The Play of Meanings: Aribo's De Musica and the Hermeneutics of Musical Thought
Scarecrow Press, Jan 1, 2005 - Literary Criticism - 265 pages
Aribo Scholasticus was an eleventh-century music theorist whose treatise De musica was critical in the development of modal theory. By placing emphasis on melodic formulae as well as scales in the definition of mode, Aribo altered the way Western musicians viewed music. The Play of Meanings: Aribo's De Musica and the Hermeneutics of Musical Thought provides a close reading of the treatise and suggests that an investigation of Aribo's imagery, music theories, and methodology of presentation is critical to a nuanced understanding of not only the treatise itself, but also of its conceptual and theoretical relationship to the larger world of eleventh-century musical thought. The manner in which Aribo's text circulated in the Middle Ages, as well as the chants he cites and his views on music theory, suggest that Aribo's work was intended for a medieval reader who was proficient in music theory - well trained in ratio, yet also versed in Neoplatonic philosophy and biblical exegesis. The interpretive process laid out in this study yields an understanding of Aribo's work that ultimately alters our preconceptions of what a medieval music theory text might or should have been, unveiling a rich field of interconnected meanings. This work finally settles the academic question of this early medieval musicologist's identity, putting forth the first-ever examination of his musical theories as taken from original texts and extant discussions on the subject. As such, it is an essential reference for all medieval scholars and musicologists.

Syndergaard nearly perfect for five
Blue Jays prospect fans seven, gives up one hit for Lugnuts
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | June 23, 2012 6:48 PM ET
Horsman, though, told Syndergaard he could use it only five times. He had to pick his spots.
"I worked on throwing it in the right places -- in 0-2, 1-2 [counts], throwing it in the dirt," said Syndergaard, MLB.com's No. 81 overall prospect. "I think I got one strikeout on the slider."
And the other six strikeouts over five one hit, scoreless innings in Lansing's 2-1 win over visiting Great Lakes?
"The rest were on well-located fastballs," he said.
And there it is, the key. The Mansfield, Texas, native had allowed 18 runs during a four-start stretch that began on May 23. In two outings since, he has yielded only four hits and struck out 13 over nine shutout innings.
"The past two outings compared to my lesser outings has been all about fastball command. I was getting sloppy with my fastball command, leaving it right down the middle, letting hitters hit it," he said. "[Horsman] has made it clear that the key to pitching in the big leagues is fastball command; if you can't locate your fastball, you can't pitch in the big leagues."
And if Syndergaard -- the 38th overall pick in the 2010 Draft -- keeps at it, the bigs won't seem so far away. He retired the first six batters in order before the Loons' Jan Vazquez led off the third with a double.
"I started him off with a fastball for a ball and then I threw a changeup that got a little too flat, too firm for my liking, and he drove it into the gap," Syndergaard said. "I didn't pay much attention to it. I just got back to work, got the next three outs."
The 19-year-old right-hander also plunked Scott Schebler to start the fifth but was otherwise perfect. He fanned his final two batters.
Syndergaard entered his first full season this year with a four-pitch repertoire featuring an in-progress curveball that scouts have deemed to have "plus" potential. With five offerings now in tow, he's compiled a 3.51 ERA and racked up 64 strikeouts over 48 2/3 frames as the Blue Jays brass seek to control -- and build -- his innings count.
"I feel like this has probably been my best outing yet," he said. "Hopefully, many more to come."
Syndergaard did not get the decision as the Loons tied the game at 1-1 in the sixth when Jeffrey Hunt smacked a solo homer off Tyler Ybarra (2-2). The Lugnuts reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the inning, to Kenny Wilson's two-out RBI triple off starter Ralston Cash (1-2), who was charged with two runs on seven hits over six innings.
