The Oxford English Dictionary defines terrorism as:
The unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims; (originally) such practices used by a government or ruling group (freq. through paramilitary or informal armed groups) in order to maintain its control over a population; (now usually) such practices used by a clandestine or expatriate organization as a means of furthering its aims.
When FOX News and the US State Department use the word terrorism it is understood that you, oh loyal citizen, are picturing "cells" of evildoers with rocket launchers, Qur'ans, and brown skin. Never you worry your pretty little head, citizen, that the overwhelming majority of, "violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims," or the calling-out of armed groups, "to maintain […] control over a population," happens in our own governments. The terrorists are over there, and we're not them!
The British government has, once again, revealed their true stripes as a terrorist organization in unlawfully detaining David Miranda, husband of Guardian reporter Glenn Greenwald. (It is believed that they are a satellite terrorist cell, acting under a larger international terrorist organization called The United States Government, but that has yet to be confirmed.)
Glenn Greenwald broke the story of Edward Snowden's NSA leak. He showed the world that its largest and most militarized government was watching every person's communications. Needless to say, the largest and most militarized government in the world was unhappy about this. They sent missions across the world to attempt an arrest of Edward Snowden, and now they are using their ally governments to target and harass journalists who try to further this investigation into the US National Security Agency. The British government, acting in protection of the United States government, arrested the husband of a reporter who was returning from an interview with Edward Snowden and stole his laptop, mobile phone, and USB storage drives. They did this under a law entitled Terrorism Act 2000. Read the above definition of terrorism again. Who in this scenario is using violence and intimidation? Who is detaining civilians with armed force? Who is using force to attempt to control what a population is allowed to know? Who are the terrorists here? The whistleblower, the journalist, and his husband, or the United States and British governments? The OED definition of terrorism certainly suggests it's the latter.
Alan Rusbridger, editor of the Guardian, has been forced to destroy information related the the Snowden revelations, although copies of that data exists abroad. The Guardian insists that the section Miranda was detained under applies to transit lounges and ports, not parking structures at airports, and that, "they would have had to use a different law, with checks and balances." They continue, "The law is conflating terrorism and journalism. Once you start doing that, you are in trouble."
The US and British governments do not care what the actual definition of terrorism is. They have their own definition of terrorism that fits conveniently into their philosophies of law enforcement: "That which threatens our power."
Whistleblowers, investigative journalists, and public transparency activists are the recognized "terrorists" in nations run by terrorists in denial. People who want the governed to know just how they are governed are "terrorists" in countries where secrecy is King.
David Miranda and the Guardian are poised to sue the British government, but don't expect much from the courts. The courts are sworn to protect the same government due to be prosecuted in their courtrooms.
I eagerly await copies of the data the governments of US and Britain demanded destroyed.

Openly gay CDC HIV chief reflects on 'humbling' journey
Fenton: Much work remains to protect young gay men from HIV
Dr. Kevin Fenton has much to be proud of during his eight years at the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, especially the strong relationships he and the federal agency forged with local and community-based organizations.
Fenton steps down from his position as director of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD & TB Prevention after a seven-year tenure on Dec. 21 and returns to his home in the U.K. on Dec. 31.
Dr. Rima Khabbaz, director of the Office of Infectious Diseases, will begin serving as acting director of NCHHSTP on Jan. 2, 2013, while a national search is conducted to select a permanent director.
Prior to holding the top HIV division post, Fenton worked as chief of CDC's National Syphilis Elimination Effort.
In April 2013 he begins his new job as Director for Health Improvement & Population Health for Public Health England.
"It really is bittersweet," Fenton said in a phone interview with the GA Voice about his leaving the CDC.
Working with so many dedicated professionals — in the CDC, local health departments, community groups and the private sector — has been a humbling and powerful journey, he said.
But Fenton looks forward to returning home, reuniting with his partner who moved back to England two years ago, and beginning a new chapter in his professional career.
Implementing the first United States domestic national HIV strategy is at the top of Fenton's list of proud accomplishments with the CDC.
Still, he remains worried about the trend of gay men, especially young gay men and young black gay men, continuing to be the population with the highest rates of HIV infections each year.
"It's not only HIV but also increases in STDs such as gonorrhea and syphilis," Fenton said. "That really suggests to me that we need to be ensuring that we are both identifying young people who might be at risk before they become sexually active in our schools and ensuring that we are equipping them with the right information so they can make informed choices when they do become sexually active."
And when young people do begin having sex, it is important for the CDC and other agencies and organizations to meet them where they work, study, play and socialize "in ways that are meaningful so they can continue to protect their health," Fenton said.
"Part of that engagement of young people will involve working with our community partners and focusing on strengthening access to HIV screenings," he said.
A gay man and a gay leader
Hard-hitting campaigns such as the CDC's "Testing Makes Us Stronger," an effort that specifically targets young black gay men about knowing their HIV status, are also invaluable to ensuring a healthy gay male population, Fenton said.
"As a gay man and gay leader, I'm always been committed to ensuring we can do the best we can for the communities that are hardest hit," he said.
Over the last seven years the CDC has ramped up HIV testing, creating culturally competent resources and utilizing social marketing campaigns such as "Testing Makes Us Stronger" to reach populations most at risk.
"The Testing Makes Us Stronger" campaign is the first time the CDC really showed strong images of black gay men and also showed that caring about one's health is valuable.
Schools — yes, public schools — need to put aside homophobia when teaching sex ed and make sure LGBT students are also consid-

Breakfast was fine Location was good Parking was too expensive. Elevator was slow, stinky and dirty Wifi was slow
Location close to most everything
Comfortable stay. Lovely staff. Enjoyable full, free breakfast. No black out curtains in the room.
The room was clean, good view (we could see the Golden Gate Bridge from our 6th floor room). The staff was very friendly. Parking garage spaces were tight but adequate and a good value at $26 per overnight parking. If you are a light sleeper, this place probably won't work for you. It was very noisy, outside and inside. We could hear traffic, sirens, and even people talking outside on the street at all hours. Two homeless people on the sidewalk had a loud argument at 5 a.m. regarding a space they wanted to claim for the day to solicit donations and we could hear them quite well. In the room next to us we could overhear their conversations even though they weren't talking loudly. The walls must be rather thin!
Really great location if you're going to go to Fisherman's Wharf or Ghirardelli Square. Room was pretty good-sized. The woman at the front desk lied to us when we checked in and told us she couldn't take our travel visa because it was against company policy. When we checked out in the morning, another woman told us that she couldn't take it because our bank would overcharge us and she was just protecting us (which was not even close to the story the woman told us the night before). She insisted on taking another card, even after we tried to explain that the reason we had the travel card was to protect ourselves and keep from getting charged ridiculous fees by our bank. Also, when we were getting ready in the morning a woman from housekeeping started banging on the door, and then tried to open it. When she saw us in the room (a full two hours before check-out) she said "Oh, you're still in here. Well, when are you leaving?" Not "Gosh, I'm so sorry!" For the outrageous cost of this room I expected better service. Since my partner and I had to pay a bunch of ridiculous fees because they wouldn't accept our bank-issued travel credit card, and because they both lied and were completely rude about it, there is absolutely no way I will ever be staying there again.
Comfort Inn By the Bay was close enough to the things that we were looking for that we were able to walk from place to place for much of our trip. The staff was very friendly and the hotel felt safe and cozy. Even after we checked out, there was a place for us to safely leave our luggage until we actually left the city.
It is a very clean and bright hotel, nicely decorated for Christmas. Sound proof walls. Cozy room. Good free breakfast. One of the cheapest decent 3 star hotels in SF. Free WiFi. The parking garage experience was AWFUL. very narrow and low ceilings, with many poles in the way that made it very hard to maneuver. I drove a friend's Ford Explorer which ended up getting multiple dents and scratches from hitting the poles to avoid hitting other cars. If you have a van or truck, DO NOT sTAY HERE. The extra money I saved by staying here ended up costing $500+ in damage repairs. Also, the night staff at the hotel was rude and unhelpful.
I love the breakfast. Not much I can say bad.
Price was reasonable. room was clean. The room was not big like some of the reviews indicate but OK. Breakfast was included even though its nothing special but give everyone a good start in the morning. it's quite far away from all the actions are. About 20 min. walk from the Fisherman's Wharf. Not far away if by car or not hilly but it's SF, hills are everywhere! We stayed on the 3rd floor, every morning shortly before 7, we could hear chairs moving around, you couldn't really sleep in if you wanted to. The noise was from the breakfast room on the 1/F. It was very annoying!
Considering everything around the area is expensive this place wasn't too bad. If all you need is a room in something that looks halfway ok, it will do the job. Nothing flashy but I do give them credit for at least serving sausage, eggs and waffles with the breakfast. Nothing too bad to say except the front desk people being a bit disengaged but they got the job done. No cool extras like gym, pool, etc. Im sure that's to be expected in a crowded city.
Location was awesome. Staff so very friendly. Traffic noise at night
Clean, comfy, big room, good view, nice beds Slow wifi, pay for parking $26, expensive $300 a night, ugly carpet, pop corn ceiling
Hair on all 3 pillows, need I say more!!! Bathroom fairly clean, but the bed had just been made again, with used sheets. Internet connection was one bar and working between connection and off line. Do you know the feeling of writing a letter and push send, and then you are offline...? See above..
The price for the location was excellent. Well worth the cost of not having to deal with morning rush hour in San Francisco. Would definitely stay again. I would say they could update the bedding, other than that nothing.
After some of the reviews, I was a bit nervous, but overall the room was fine. Clean, relatively comfortable, friendly staff, a bit noisy.
It is easily accessible to down town San Francisco using public transportation. I booked the king room and was given a double bed because the room was not available. The place looks horrible. It needs to be torn down. Too noisy.
Its location. i stayed for 5 nights and my room was not cleaned once.
Location was fine - you could walk to fisherman's wharf fairly easily. From the outside the hotel looked run-down, but the room was well-kept and clean. the bed/pillows were too soft, the wifi signal was too weak so we couldn't access the internet.
Price was unbeatable. Bathroom was remodeled and sparkling clean. Room was very plain and basic, but clean. Location was great. Parking was free. Bed was comfortable, pillows were great. Had king rooms available at no extra cost. Room had a fridge and we froze ice in baggies (no ice machine). If you are on a very tight budget, or are a bargain shopper (like us), this is a dream come true. TV easy to work, no premium channels. Half the cost of any other motel in the Marina District, and perfect to sleep and clean up and get going. One step up from a hostel. Outside was undergoing remodel, outside floor rough where walkway carpet had been removed. Long narrow parking strip, had to back out onto the street. No clothes closet or hooks to hang clothes, we used a "towel loop" in the bathroom.No in or out of room coffee service, but a 24 hour donut shop about 2 blocks away. No ice machine. If you don't care about amenities grab this deal. If you're spoiled by free hot breakfasts, or on a fantasy vacation or romantic getaway, go elsewhere. These are not complaints, just hints of the quirky things you will find.
All were nice, facility was clean, & had lots of parking for guest.
I liked the location, near tourist spots. There were an amazing amount of great restaurants within two blocks of the motel. There was adequate parking. The room was fairly large and comfortable. It was secure, with keyed entry from garage to elevators. The people at the desk were very nice. Lombard Ave. Is a busy street and it was noisy in the room from the traffic. Our room overlooked the street.
Location and clean Our veiw was of the room across from us nothing else
Great front desk staff, price is great for the area. Nice neighborhood
value if you just want to put your head down at night, room could be updated , looks kinda old fashioned, but it was suitable for what i needed it for. room could be updated , looks kinda old fashioned, but it was suitable for what i needed it for. walls a little thin, could hear showers from the next room right by the headboards, lots of noise coming from the room above us,
The Travel Lodge was a clean and convenient facility. The staff was wonderful!! None
Location is very good, close to Fisherman's Wharf and easy access to Cable Car and Streetcar. Neighboring street, Polk Street, has a wide variety of nice restaurants. Good value for the money in central San Francisco. Sound insulation relatively light.
Great location with parking. Friendly staff. Clean.
The location. It was near everything we wanted to do Didn't have the amenities we asked for (I.e. fridge/microwave)
The staff was frinedly and helpful There were no in room movies and now swimming pool. The continental breakfast could have been expanded with fruit.
It was what we expected, car park is extra which was not clear from the booking info?
Great staff, very friendly and helpful. You can walk from the hotel to important touristic places.
it`s proximity to the fishermans wharf area and easy access to Van Ness/101 freeway. rooms facing Lombard st. are prone to street noise during peak traffic hours.
front desk was very helpful when we couldn't figure out where to park in the garage extra charge for parking. At the rate of the room parking should have been included
The service No complaints
The staff were really helpful. They let us checkin early and didn't charge us. They were good value for money. However the room was basic and did the job. You would have to eat out as the are no kitchen facilities.
Very handy to many S.F. activities & good restaurants yet away from the busiest/noisiest part of Lombard St. No previous reviews mentioned this but next door is a daycare center so if you don't mind the 'screaming kids' from 8:30am to 12 noon & 3 to 5pm (Mon to Fri), then ok. It only bothered us in the mornings & one afternoon we were back early. Request rooms away from this Day Care if such things bother you.
Friendly and helpful staff. A little problem with the heavy bags and no lift - but lots of willing help!
the staff was very friendly the room was dark due to an overhanging balcony and an awning. No natural light made it into the room
I love the location and pets are ok. There is a dog park right accross the street, so very good with pets. Staff was most helpful and friendly. It has recently been remodeled so it is nicer than the last time I stayed there. Rooms are a little small.
excellent service by Raymond, Great location and free parking! next to kindergarten can be noisy in the morning.
Good location near Golden Gate Bridge and Presidio Park. The room was damp and cold. Even new towels ended up getting wet. The shower pours too little hot water. Breakfast is terrible and the area is called "Hospitality Room" where there are just 3 tables. The problem is that guests occupy for reading newspaper and you don´t have tables availables to eat. There's no parking lot for many cars.
Great location, near Fishersmans Wharf - Golden Gate, Alcatraz, Pier 39.
Motel was well equiped inc in room safe,continental breakfast,in room coffee,plus,english style pub around the corner "liverpool lils" get in early for car park space,otherwise on main rd
The knowledge of the staff was second to none,and free internet was usefull. Hotel is a little tired,bfast was a little disapointing.
Plenty of parking, comfortable bed, good shower Refrigerator did not work
decor of the rooms Parking area too small
The kindness of the people at frontdesk. Checking-in too late (2 pm). I had to wait for two hours for rooms to get clean. Rather poor wireless connection.
The ability to park in a very busy city and the friendliness of the relief managers. The lack of facilities to make anything other than poor quality filter coffee in the room.
Clean, cheap and parking is included No a/c and noisy (both traffic and residents)
Good location. For travelers with the car- free parking. Free wi fi access
A good budget motel for a short stay in SF... Small stinky room...
excellent location, parking available, clean room
Felt like home when first checked in Felt not important at checking out
Good location and price. Complimentaly breakfast was less than expected.
- Clean room - Nice bed - WiFi worked fine - Excellent location - not loud outside - Dirty outside the room - Breakfast did not start until 8am, which is too late for me
The motel was in an easy to access location. Parking is included. The rooms appeared to be recently renovated. The beds weren't especially comfortable and the biggest issue for us was the noise level. It seemed like we could hear every movement inside the hotel.
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable; it was also fairly quiet for the area The furniture was shabby and the shower head wasn't very forceful
Can't beat the location! Bed is uncomfortable and rooms are tiny with very little sound barrier.
The location was wonderful..Short walk to piers and wharf as well as China Town and Little Italy. Room was clean and staff was friendly. We were in the smallest of rooms, but we thought it was quite cozy. I'm almost 6'7" and the full sized bed was fine. The shower was literally in the room and the bathroom was very small, but once again, it did not present much of a problem. We spent almost all of our time out of the room as I suspect most would do. Several reviewers complained of street noise. I'm a light sleeper and it was noticable, but did not ruin my night. My wife is a deep sleeper and she had a great night's sleep... well, until I had to call the police to stop the burglary (see next paragraph) I witnessed a car burglary from our room window at 4:30 am. This simply added to the adventure. It was nice to know that the police response time was under 5 minutes. We would definitely stay here again, although it was a bit expensive. Room cost. Parking was off site and fairly expensive as well, although the attendant was very nice and recommended several sites for us to see and things for us to do.
Hotel staff great! Room really clean, as was the bathroom. Bed & pillows comfy. However, if you want quiet, forget it. Doors and walls paper thin and much noise from partiers. I suggest earplugs. Motel is very close to fine dining, shopping and Starbucks though, and that's a plus! Good if you are on a budget and only use it for sleep. Very noisy, so don't stay by the elevator.
Location---close to family's home. No hair dryers in rooms. I had one delivered from the office, however, so it wa okay.
It was open when we came in late from the airport Parking stalls, as much as they were available, were too small.
Location was great, staff was friendly. The motel was very quiet and private. We very much enjoyed our stay. I do wish the rooms WERENT so run down, but it was sill worth the price and location!
Location. Walking distance to most of Points of interest and Pier (39) and choice of quick food Restaurants nearby. My first stay at Motel Capri was in 1971 (39 years ago) and kept coming back ever since.
The beds and pillows were very comfortable... Poor parking (of course, being in San Francisco, having any free parking is good). No air conditioning.
Location was ok, parking easy. Had wireless internet. Room was fine. Bed a little small for 2 people (no, we are not fat). The hotel was loud - thin walls meant we could hear TVs on in adjacent rooms, and hear people having conversations outside, doors banging late at night, etc.
Close to downtown The continental breakfast consists in a pastry (no choice). No choice, very poor breakfast, you have to eat in room, no other spaces. one day they didn't clean my room. If I would do one phone call, my phone was broken, I try to advice the staff but no way to resolve the problem. one night there was no space for parking, we had to park in another space, and we had to pay. very bad service, staff very rude.
good value for money, very helpfull staff! They have plenty of tips to discover the city. Very kind. Ideally situated to discover the city, parking available, busses nearby. Would recommend it to everyone!
Staff was accomodating, but the room we were first assigned was unclean and clearly had a bed bug infestation. Bed bugs in our room. We checked and noticed them immediately on the corners of the bed upon entering the room. There was a big dead one, and a bunch of droppings. A serious infestation. The staff was helpful relocating us to a room w/o them.
Good location - close to many city attractions. Complimentary breakfast was a joke - one very sweet cookie wrapped in a foil. That's all.
Room #308 needs a face lift..that's where I stayed the 1st time. However, the price was good and the staff friendly & helpful, and was close to my doctors/hospital. So I decided to come back & rm #309 was perfect. I brought my my own washcloths, & a few other things to make me comfy (my pillow & a throw) since I never use blankets/comforters that hotels/motels provide. I always put remote for tv in zip-lock, and I'm good to go!! Priced right plus free parking. I will always return here unless I'm with my Sweetie, then he foots the bill in 4 star hotels. I like coming here.
It was just a place to sleep Light bulbs burned out, one security lock broken, no lik for coffee pot so it did not work. The place was clean.
very good location, close to the marina, restaurants. breakfast was a joke; no fridge in the room; not so clean and very dark place
The office staff was friendly. There is an elevator which is a big plus. We stayed during Fleet Week, and we were happy to have a room for a reasonable price anywhere in San Francisco. Lombard Street is noisy twenty-four hours a day. Although our room was in the back, there was still a lot of street noise.
It was mostly clean and in decent shape for an older hotel. Location is great. The double queen room was TINY, smaller than the average master bedroom. Night staff was great, morning staff not so much. No pool, no spa, very little parking, tiny room, and expensive. Maybe the cost is just typical San Francisco prices but it sure seemed alot for not much. Elevator quit working.
Very pleasant stay, but simple rooms. Owner is very accomodating Be prepared to ask for another room if you prefer non-smoking! The hotel is 'non-smoking' but some of the rooms have a heavy presence of smoke, so be prepared to ask.
Many TV channel availables for free. Nihil
This realy is a great hotel in a great neighbourhood! It was realy cheap for this location, and there was free parking and free wifi. For breakfast you just walk for 5 minutes down the street, and there are several reataurants.
Nice, clean room. A bit noisy, but better than I expected. Noise.
Location, free parking, kitchenett, good continental breakfast,bus stop on corner, good restaurant's and grocery store in walking distance. kithchenette could have a toaster and more pots/pans/utensils
Staff always very helpful and accomodating. Convenient to public transportation (4 bus lines on the corner), always clean and comfortable.
Staff very helpful, well connected, good location. Small size room (looked bigger in the picture)
Free parking and convenient location were real pluses
Location Very dated tile in bathroom...carpeting very questionable.
Free parking in the middle of San Francisco!!! Great location!!! Clean and comfortable rooms. Very helpful, courteous staff. There isn't much for breakfast, but so what, you are in SF, just go out and enjoy yourselves.
Parking is very expensive in San Francisco and parking is included in this motel! Rooms a very small but enough.
Excellent service. Room was crowded by furniture. Tight space. Otherwise excellent.
The staff was friendly. No air conditioning was a bit rough on a hot day but it cooled off enough by evening to not be an issue.
I like the fact that it was located in a great part of town - close to many attractions and very quiet. Plus, right up the street there are plenty of bars that one could choose from (if looking for such things). The staff was extremely helpful, polite, and accommodating. The room was small but we were not looking for a place to lounge as we came to the city to be in it, not to be in the room. Did not like the dirty shower floor, but mostly due to appearance.
Location was central to SF Do you want shoddy construction or cold showers? Look no further. Very old musty smell almost everywhere. The places that weren't, actually smelled like a used diaper- no exaggeration. The lid to the toilet tank was not even the same size as the toilet bowl leaving it to be half balanced and look incredibly sloppy. Have you ever heard the expression, "you can't fit a square peg in a round hole?" The builders of this place sure hadn't. The toilet seat was also a good deal longer than the actual toilet leaving a massive overhang. Floppy dong- say hi to the yellow brown tiles! The grout and sealant of the seams of the bath fitters-esque renovation of the shower was grotesquely unprofessional. There were visible nail heads protruding from the white substance. But wait- there's more! The shower never even reached a warm temperature. All three nights we stayed here the water never became warm.. It was not user error.. The sinks or any water source never became more than barely room temperature. There was one morning it seemed a bit warmer, but it could have been hallucinations from diaper fumes. Tanks tapped out at 7-8 AM and still again at 9-10 at night?... fantastic. Three days of cold, prison style showers... It was actually festive since we planned on going to Alcatraz while we visited the bay area. There was a black smoke like stain above the headboard of the creeky bed as well. No doubt some poor soul who occupied the room prior couldn't take another ice shower, the diaper smell, or the nails in the bathroom grout and left gun residue on the wall when he made his final check out to life. Oh! I almost forgot! There were also those black clamp style office clips on the blinds to the front window facing the streets. These were to keep the blinds shut because obviously the ability for the shades to remain shut on their own is a luxury granted to only those willing to pay more than $150 a night for motel, diaper smell, prison showering amenities. San Francisco is a great city though.
Got last minute on our way into city when everywhere else was booked. GREAT PRICE. Can't beat the location - within 10 minutes walking to Pier 39 and other great sights. Cannot beat the value Rooms were somewhat smaller - didn't mind because we only slept and showered there.
Works great when you are visiting the marina or the palace of fine arts. Great location for lots of SF activities. It is on Lombard street so it is a bit noisy but not bad for the price Noisy, needs renovating.
Location is ok Expensive for what you get Shower is disgusting Room is ok- but not with the price
The room was clean and spacious, and both my friend and I had parking spaces close to the room. The room didn't have microwave--I heated a carafe of water in the coffee maker to make a bowl of instant oatmeal in the morning. The clerk at the front desk was pleasant, but seemed perturbed when I asked for a second parking pass. He knew that my friend and I were arriving separately, but was surprised that we both had cars.
Nice location. Relatively cozy. Their breakfast was more of a snack, but hey, it was free. The walls/ceilings are way too thin. It sounded like we had a heard of rhinoceroses above us. Luckily there were no bed bugs, but it seems at one time there was because of old bed bug stains on the sheets.
Nothing at all. Receptionist lied and said we would be charged even if we cancel the room, ended up staying at the marina motel across the street, way better room with kitchen and couch + room for cheaper than what la luna was asking for.
Advertise King bed, but was only a queen. Continental breakfast was horrible, why even bother. Otherwise it felt like a budget hotel even when we were "upgraded" to a deluxe room. Maybe places in the city just aren't great value, although I've stayed at a nicer place for a better price in the Tender Loin, even though that area is one I'd never spend time in again.
Very clean and the staff was very friendly. The location is good and they have free parking. The hotel is right on a busy street so you get street noise but just turn on the air unit and it's enough white noise to take car of it. The room is small but has all you need.
I like the location. Close to many shops and restaurants The building is pretty old and the downpour from the rain that day was all over the stairs.
Great price the bed was comfortable. The shower.

So I bitched about Voda (twice) and the fact that I couldn't upgrade the software on my N70 mobile. Then Ciarán, an old workmate, pointed out that I could get the phone unlocked by just calling customer service.
It turns out that they have to ask Nokia for the unlock codes for the N-series, five days later they texted me the code and now the phone can work with any SIM card (like Roam4Free for example). I never knew they would do this so good on them. I'm still on a long contract with them so I guess they don't really care.
I then re-tried the software upgrade of the phone (as previously described) and the beauty worked! I have no idea if it is related to the unlocking or it is just a coincidence but I now have the latest (bar one) version of the N70 software and I'm a happy bunny.
The main obvious change is that it just seems faster, particularly the SMS menus. Hopefully they have also fixed the idiotic bug where if you paused an MP3 that you were listening to and then someone called you, it would play the paused tune at full volume for the world to hear rather than the ringtone.
If you have an N70, go get the upgrade. If it doesn't want to upgrade you, call Voda and get the phone unlocked.

The most anticipated mid-range smartphone, the Lumia 650 surfaced online for past few weeks, and now an alleged leak has tipped the pricing of the smartphone. A new leak from a smartphone distributor in the Czech Republic is reporting that the Lumia 650 will be priced at CZK 5,491-SIM-free, unlocked, of course, in the Czech Republic. As such, we've known the pricing of the phone, at least in Europe, thanks to the leak. The current exchange would be $222, and we expect that the phone would retail for $200 or below, when it hits the US market.
The rumored specification of the phone includes a 5-inch 720p display, Snapdragons 210 chipset, 4G LTE support, an 8-meagapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front shooter, and a 2,000mAh battery. Of course, the phone runs Windows 10 mobile OS. The Lumia 650 might be unveiled at the MWC next month.

"All you umpires, back to the bleachers. Referees, hit the showers. It's my game. I pitch, I hit, I catch. I run the bases. At sunset, I've won or lost. At sunrise, I'm out again, giving it the old try."
Related quotes
"After the game the plate umpire said Valle was around the plate with every pitch. He pitched well, especially for the climate."
"I look at the grand final last year: the three umpires that umpired that game were outstanding. I think on that particular day, it was a case of, 'we know what the rules are, we know what the fans want to see, we know how we want to umpire it, let's just stick to those three principles'."
"Whenever you have a tight situation and there's a close pitch, the umpire gets a squawk no matter how he calls it."
"I think I was out of the game mentally, ... I was fighting with the umpires, and I was mad at (Murton). ... I apologized to him. I have five years in the big leagues. I don't have to do that."

LYNCHBURG, Va. Megan Frazee bypassed the chance to become a big-time women's basketball recruit but not to become a big-time player. Though she was home-schooled for much of high school and played three years for an obscure Christian school team, she was known by powers such as Ohio State as the tall player with post moves, perimeter skills and a 30-point average.
Before many major programs could become too interested, she issued her criteria. She wanted to play with her triplet sisters, and they wanted to attend a Christian college. Liberty University, an evangelical Christian school founded by Jerry Falwell in 1971, beat out Cedarville, an NAIA school near their then-home of Xenia, Ohio.
Seniors Megan, Molly and Moriah — who produced a combined 2,782 points and 1,470 rebounds in their first three seasons — couldn't be happier with the choice. Neither could Liberty, which has two Big South titles, two NCAA tournament berths and a 72-22 record in the previous three seasons.
"We're where we're supposed to be," Megan says.
Last season, 6-3 guard/forward Megan was Big South player of the year and tournamentMVP; 6-3 forward Moriah was all-Big South; and 6-2 forward/guard Molly was an all-Big South tournament pick.
There's just one problem with their one-for-all and all-for-one experience, which is ending this season after playing 11 together. At Liberty, they've all experienced the scourge of women's basketball players: torn anterior cruciate ligaments. Molly, injured in late August, will miss this season.
"We just had to complete that ACL trifecta," Megan says.
Adds Liberty coach Carey Green: "What are the odds of all three having the injury?"
What are the odds of triplets on scholarship? The Frazees, 21, are believed to be the only triplets currently among Division I women.
"They definitely have a unity that is very unique," says fellow senior Rachel Hammond. "It definitely makes team unity a lot easier — you already have three people who know everything about each other.
"They provide a core of stability that everybody has to latch onto especially because their role on the team is so monumental. They communicate very well … but they're very different."
One has WNBA dream
They have been teammates since fifth grade. Moriah and Molly, who are identical and nursing majors, don't plan on playing after college. Megan, whose career averages are 18.1 points and 9.2 rebounds along with 41.7% three-point shooting, hopes to play in the WNBA and/or overseas.
"She's WNBA," says Beth Cunningham, the former WNBA player and Virginia Commonwealth coach whose team beat Liberty 59-57 in the Nov. 14 season opener despite Megan's 28 points and 11 rebounds. "Because of her size and skills. She's smart.
"If you take one thing away, she gets something else. It's hard to find players like that."
Olaf Lange, who spent two years on Liberty's coaching staff before joining the WNBA's San Antonio Silver Stars as an assistant, thinks Megan can play shooting guard, small forward and power forward: "Her best quality is her versatility. Some coaches might have question marks in terms of speed. I think she'll have a good pro career."
They learned the game from their father, Jim, who played one year at Division III Hanover (Ind.) before transferring to Miami (Ohio), and who, like their mother, Tammy, is an educator. When he was a high school coach in Texas and South Dakota, they hung around his practices. He was a coach of their teams from fifth grade through AAU and one year of high school. They had gym time to work on their shooting and experiment with gadgets such as special goggles to prevent them from looking at the ball while dribbling.
There's plenty of gym rat in each triplet, home-schooled from eighth grade through 11th. They grew up playing 2-on-2 with brother Zeb, who is 19 months older.
"We did it because we liked it," Megan says. "We never got burnt out. I think that's largely because basketball wasn't our sole purpose in life. The No. 1 priority is our relationship with the Lord and then family."
Entire family relocates
Yet basketball and Liberty are a major part of family life. Zeb, 23, who preceded his sisters to the 11,300-student school in south-central Virginia, is completing student teaching and will finish in December.
The parents moved from Ohio to Lynchburg in August 2005, when the triplets were freshmen. They started work soon after — Jim in student housing at Liberty; Tammy as a fourth-grade teacher at Liberty Christian Academy, a school affiliated with and adjacent to the university.
"My wife says most people send their kids away to college; we came with them," Jim says. "What clinched it was Megan saying, 'You know, Dad, it wouldn't be right if I'm out there playing and can't look at you in the stands.'
"We had to make some sacrifices, but it has been a lot of fun."
Besides games, the family often meets for lunch after Sunday services when get-togethers can include board games and euchre, a card game.
If the triplets aren't playing, they're often studying with Megan, a regular visitor to Molly and Moriah's room — the three have never roomed together.
"We're each other's best friends," Molly says.
Molly and Moriah have 3.7 grade-point averages in nursing, which includes a weekly eight-hour hospital shift and an eight-hour rotation prep. Megan has a 3.9 GPA in kinesiology.
Megan was the first-born (by two minutes), and the first to walk, swim in the deep end of the pool and ride a two-wheeler.
"You know those players that seem naturally athletic?" says Moriah, playing eight months after her knee surgery, of Megan. "She's put in a lot of time, but I would say the game has come easiest to her."
Megan had another first — tearing her ACL, 14 games into freshman year. "That was a real hard time for her," Hammond says. "It was very much a spiritual journey to lose something that was so important to her."
Megan makes a habit of benefiting from disappointments. She came back stronger and fitter after rehab. Disappointed at not making either the U.S. Under-21 or Pan-Am Games team after her sophomore season, she concentrated on becoming more physical inside. This past summer the focus was a quicker first step.
Now Megan is recuperating from a sprained ankle, hurt when she made a game-winning buzzer-beater against UC-Riverside. She has missed three games.
The Lady Flames, the preseason pick to win the Big South, are 1-4 in the face of a tough schedule and injuries to several players.
This is the triplets' last season together. Moriah inside, Megan everywhere and Molly, relegated to the bench.
"It's made us realize how special it was — the opportunities we did have to play together," Moriah says. "We're just making the most of our time together."

Our pillows are all feather, and they are mostly about 5 years old. Once a year or so, I either leave them in the blazing desert sun for a few days or throw them in a hot dryer for 45 minutes. Maybe I left them out in the rain, or went to bed with wet hair or something, because they are oddly stained, but I can't really explain it.
Just wondering - how do you take care of your feather pillows? What's the standard for when you get new ones?
Mom of one child (2008), wife of one husband, tender of dogs, cats and chickens. Household interests: ocean life (kid), bitcoins (husband), simplifying (me).
I wash our feather pillows in the washing machine and then dry them in the sun. I wash them only in the summer. I don't know the washing temperature offhand, I'd have to check the care label. It's either 30C or 40C, though. Ours have had some stains too, most of them come out in the wash but a few are more resistant than others, I guess. Ours aren't that old, only four or five years, so we haven't thought about getting new ones yet, but I'm also curious as too how long people keep them.
My husband sleeps on down pillows. I wash them in hot water and detergent in the washing machine, then dry the heck out of them on the hot setting in the dryer. (They take a very long time to dry.) This works well for me.
Yep, I do this a couple of times a year to regular pillows. Or whenever the pillow starts to smell not so fresh anymore.
We have mostly down pillow, except for my son's. don't wash them. We use pillow cases and covers and wash those instead.
Sometimes when we have a hot dry day, we take off the pillow covers and cases and have them sit in the hot sun.
? We get rid of them when they are so flat that we can't really enjoy them any more (maybe in 15 or 20 years).
skreader, does washing them in water ruin them? What are the protective covers like? I think I'd rather make some covers (I've never seen them for sale here) than wash them if washing them ruins them.
I'm not skreader, but washing down pillows in hot water absolutely does not destroy them. It cleans them nicely, and they come out great.
Thanks, that's a relief. I checked the care label on my pillows and it does say to wash them in the washing machine (at temps. up to 30C.) I also googled caring for down pillows, and found that washing them is in fact recommended, though not more than once a year, and at cool temps. This site is representative of the all the advice I found. They also recommend protective pillow covers, which I will make for ours.

Question about HP LaserJet 4200n Printer
The papers are hot to touch when coming out of the printer. The ink is not smearing so I don't think it's a fuser issue. This only started happening recently. Any idea why the pages would be hot to touch
Posted by Nancy Green on
Simple answer: It's Ok if the paper is coming out hot out of the printer. The paper passes the fusing assembly just before it leaves the printer and that is normal. I would be worried it you smelled something burning or saw scorch marks on the page but that would be unlikely since there are temperature controls built into the printer.. There is a way to adjust the temperature of the fusing assembly from the printers control panel depending on the type or thickness of the paper but it'd leave it alone if your only problem is feeling that the paper come out hot.Your user manual would describe the procedure if you wanted to change it.. Also check your printer configuration settings. If you sent a print job on regular 20lb paper and its stated as thick paper type in the printer settings, the printer might adjust the fuser hotter or slow the printer down some to compensate. Hope this helps

By ANDY GRUNDBERG
Published: January 11, 1987
For many, Andy Warhol was the quintessential Pop artist of the 1960's. Certainly he became the most journalistically celebrated, since his Campbell soup cans and Brillo boxes readily lent themselves to spectacle and ridicule. If in the public mind a five-year-old could make a painting that looked like a Picasso, it didn't even take an infant to make a Warhol. Warhol's paintings looked like they had been done by a machine.
In a way, they were. Warhol liked the idea of mass production, and he tried his best to imitate its qualities in his work. As a result, one of the tools that entered his repertory at an early stage in his career was the camera. The camera made negatives that, like his silk screens, could produce endless repetitions of a single image. Unlike the painters of an earlier generation, Warhol was not interested in unique objects; rather, like Robert Rauschenberg, he sought to open art to commonplace experience and to acknowledge the influence of the mass media, including camera-based reproduction. Besides producing paintings, then, Warhol and his ''Factory'' made films, published a magazine, promoted a rock band and, of course, took photographs.
Most of these photographs were transformed into facsimiles of themselves through Warhol's silk-screen process, making them more like reproductions and less like the rarified products of contemporaneous creative photography, from which Warhol always kept his distance. But in the years since his relationship to photography began, the field of photography has changed considerably. No longer is there a hard distinction to be made between photographers who consider their pictures art and artists who use photography in their work. Given such a climate, it is not too surprising that Warhol, following Rauschenberg's lead, should leave the silk-screen mode and reveal himself as a photographer, pure and simple.
Or almost simple. The more than 70 black-and-white photographs on view at the Robert Miller Gallery (41 East 57th Street, through Jan. 31) are made complicated by the stitches that join them together into grids of from four to 12 prints each. The images, which have been linked by a sewing machine, are invariably identical so that each work consists of one image repeated several times. One sees, for example, Brooke Shields four times, a station wagon four times, a tea kettle on a stove four times -often with a length of loose thread hanging from the center. In addition to making the images approximately the size of paintings, these gridlike arrangements disrupt our conventional way of looking at an image. So does the jam-packed installation, in which the works are stacked on the walls like postcards in a display rack. Instead of magnifying the effect of whatever is depicted, the repetition diminishes it. Warhol used the same strategy in the 60's, most memorably in in his ''Disaster'' series, in which he used silk screens to transfer newspaper photographs of auto accidents and other tragedies onto canvases dozens of times apiece.
Characteristically, the artist pursues no single formal idea in his photographs, no one compositional device. In some, the single image is centered in the frame, so that the whole reads as four discrete pictures. In others, the elements within the frame are such that an overall pattern is created. A fragmentary view of Manhattan skyscrapers, when stitched to others like it, becomes part of a bilevel panoramic skyline. A piece of a tulip bed is repeated to create an overall field of flowers. In still others, the interest is on where the edges of the frames meet, as when the rear half of one horse leaps the stitching and joins up with the front half of another. (The humor here, as well as the juxtaposition, brings to mind William Wegman's photographs of the 70's.) It is clear, in short, that as much as Warhol enjoys the formal combinations and coincidences possible in this sort of photocollage, he is devoted to none of them. His subject matter is equally diverse, encompassing portraits, window displays, room interiors, urban architecture and even a flushing toilet. One can draw several possible conclusions from this superabundance of subject and approach. Perhaps Warhol is demonstrating his virtuosity, showing himself to be at least as much a connoisseur of chaos (poet Wallace Stevens's words) as Rauschenberg, whose career has traversed photography in much the same manner. Or perhaps Warhol is as yet uncertain about what these photographs should focus on, what their message should be. Or - and this I think is the most likely possibility - perhaps these photographs are meant to be as subversive of art today as his soup cans were of the art of the 60's.
To understand the relationship, we can refer to another significant Warhol exhibition now on view, at the Dia Art Foundation in SoHo (77 Wooster Street, until June 13). There, the artist's hand-painted images from 1960 to 1962 are being shown.
They are called hand painted because they predate Warhol's adoption of his silk-screen method, and they contain somewhat sketchy and slightly crude recapitulations of mass imagery drawn from magazine advertisements, comic books and matchbook covers - icons, that is, of popular culture. Looking at their impudent but still painterly demeanor, one can see how radically important it was when Warhol made the shift to a more mechanical means of producing images - via the camera and the silk-screen process.
Just as Warhol's repetitive, mechanically reproduced images in paint challenged the dogma of artistic creativity 20 years ago, his multiple-image photographs challenge the ideas of creative photography today.
By rendering subject matter irrelevant through repetition and variety, and by exploiting a wide variety of formal devices without an allegiance to any of them, he negates the conventional notion of an artistic ''eye.''
There is no point of view in these pictures; instead, the point of view is all in the presentation.
Thus, these photographs are very much of the moment in today's art world, since presentation seems well on the way to replacing style as the means by which art (photography included) is recognized and appreciated. Warhol, of course, is the one artist to have foreseen this tendency long ago, and to have fashioned a career based on it. What Warhol does in his art is to present representations, making us face them for what they are, devoid of sentimentality and beyond the reach of irony. As Stephen Koch writes in the book that accompanies the Robert Miller Gallery exhibition ($25, published by, and available at, the gallery), Warhol's art has an esthetic distance ''just beyond the reach of either passion or resolution.'' If this essential quality has seemed diminished by repetition since the 60's - as if it were simply another serialized image in Warhol's repertory - with these photographs he has found a way to restore its contemporaneity.

Through compelling reminiscences of his grandfather's life in the United States and Japan, Allen Say poignantly recounts his family's journey to America. The feelings of being torn by a love for two different countries are sensitively narrated by B.D.Wong.
©2008 Houghton Mifflin (P)2008 Weston Woods
Estate planning lawyer and mom to two boys. My older son liked audiobooks as an infant, and I've listened to a lot since then.
"One of all time best children's books"
Allen Say's bittersweet masterpiece tells the story of his grandfather, and his life split between the US and Japan. Being a children's book, the prose is spare, almost poetry. B.D. Wong is the perfect narrator. Listen at least once with the picture book in front of you. It should be available at most libraries.

Porsche Dali – Reading Or Riding Porsche Must Choose
Released: December 16, 2016
Brains and boobs. You love 'em. Studious Porsche Dali is reading a book when JMac comes over to her and snatches the book right out of her hands and the eyeglasses right off her face. She shouldn't be reading those damned dirty books anyway! Porsche does look good in glasses. "Hey! I was reading that! Give it back," Porsche demands. JMac is not budging. Why should she read when she can get fucked? Of course, Porsche could read as he's boning her but that would get awkward. "You can have your book back after you suck my dick," JMac says, willing to negotiate. He comes behind Porsche and sinks his fingers into her gigantic, soft hangers. He's intrigued by her pierced nipples and all the breast stimulation makes Porsche forget about her reading material.

Eaten alive on its last staging of the Open championship 10 years ago, Sandwich bit back yesterday - and only a few emerged without teethmarks.
After a week of brilliant sunshine, a strong wind arrived as if on purpose to turn Royal St George's, scene of the lowest scoring in the event's history in 1993, from a pussycat into a beast.
Just five of the 156 players ended up breaking par. World number one Tiger Woods lost a ball with his very first shot, minutes after fellow American Jerry Kelly had taken 11 on the same hole.
While Woods recovered to shoot a none-too-damaging 73, defending champion Ernie Els could do no better than 78, not producing a single birdie. Others, though, fared worse.
Justin Rose had 79 and Paul Lawrie, Europe's last winner of a major title four years ago, crashed to an 81, but that still left him two ahead of 2001 winner David Duval and five in front of last year's joint runner-up Steve Elkington.
Yet the biggest drama of the opening round - not for the first time and possibly not for the last - concerned Colin Montgomerie. And the "Fall Monty" drama started hours before he even teed off.
Coming out of his hotel room for breakfast, the 40-year-old Scot, having joked the night before that everything was poised for him to win by five, tripped over a step, fell onto some gravel and injured his wrist. He managed only five shots on the practice range and, after coming close to not playing at all, only 33 in the tournament before pulling out on the eighth.
As he returned home for an X-ray today, anybody finishing under par deserved a medal. It guaranteed them a place on the leaderboard. The name at the top was there most of the day. Little-known South African Hennie Otto, 200th on the world rankings and a winner of the final qualifying competition at North Foreland on Monday after shooting 65 and 63, found that this time a three under par 68 was good enough for star billing. Otto takes a one-stroke lead over Davis Love and Greg Norman into the second round, with Swede Fredrik Jacobson and South Korean SK Ho joint fourth at one under and Worthing's Gary Evans - one shot away from last year's play-off after the performance of his life - leading the home challenge again in the group on 71.
Perhaps best remembered for throwing a set of clubs into a river after a bad tournament two years ago, Otto had teed off in the very first group of the day at 6.30am.
It was by no means pleasant then - rainy as well as windy - but conditions were to get far worse before they got better.
Recovered now from a back injury that he thought could end his career, 27-year-old Otto sank a 25-foot putt on the difficult eighth and 30-footers at the 12th and 13th to set a target that came under threat, but withstood attack after attack.
Otto had bogeyed the last and when Davis Love did the same, he finished one behind.
Then Norman stood on the tee at the long 14th four under, but bogeyed that and the 18th to join Love on 69. It was Norman who won 10 years ago, finishing with a 64 and a 13 under par aggregate.
A repeat of that and the Great White Shark will almost certainly be celebrating a third Open crown. But he is not banking on it - he is 48, this is only his third event of the year following back trouble and this is a very different Sandwich.
Take Norman's second to the long fourth. Already one under, he punched a four iron that landed 60 feet left of the flag, but curled all the way round to six inches.
Only afterwards did he remember doing the same back in 1993.
But delighted though he was with his efforts, Norman is too wise an owl to raise his own expectations to unreal levels considering his age and lack of competition lately.
Norman began with a double bogey six a decade ago, but Woods walked off with a triple bogey seven and had to dig deep into his reserves to play the remainder in one under before calling for more marshals.
He birdied the fourth and 10th, bogeyed three in a row from the 12th, but then birdied the 15th and 16th. He is far from out of it.

''The way these guys have come in and helped Pakistan win, it has also had a positive effect on Shoaib Akhtar. He saw that while he was out of the team he was losing his fan following, which he craves. That made him knuckle down and join in with the team ethic.
Pakistan proved that they didn't need 90 miles-per-hour to win matches,'' Rameez said in an interview to a website.
Delighted that the captain and the coach have changed the face of Pakistani cricket by uniting the team and supporting talents like Shahid Afridi, who, though unpredictable, is still a match winner.
''I'm delighted with how things have gone because we now see Pakistan playing as a team and not as individuals, which is quite a sea change,'' he said.
''Bob and Inzy have been able to incorporate new talent like Mohammad Asif and also brought back Shahid Afridi and invigorated him and have been able to extract the unique talent that we always knew he possessed,'' he added, praising the captain-coach duo.
Rameez said the team was a better unit under Inzamam as the players respected him a lot, which had a binding effect on them.
''I have great regard for the team's character under Inzamam.
He has got them playing together as a unit so there are a lot of positives with the Pakistan side,'' Rameez said.

Additional Information on Marques De Caceres Rioja Crianza Tempranillo 2011
Winery Marques De Caceres
Vintage: 2011The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
Varietal: TempranilloThere are plenty of notable native Spanish grapes which have made a big impression on the wine world at large, but none are as renowned or as widely loved as the Tempranillo varietal. This black skinned grape has been used for wine making for centuries, with several ancient civilizations noticing the fact that it is highly versatile and holds some delicious flavors and aromas, perfect for those looking for a powerful yet elegant grape for their wines. Tempranillo often causes winemakers some trouble, however, as it is highly susceptible to many diseases. Despite this, plenty continue to persevere with this varietal, as it is perfect for producing delicious and complex single variety and blended wines, packed full of classic Spanish flavors and plenty of aromatic and intense surprises.
Region: La RiojaLa Rioja is by far the most famous wine region of Spain, and remains one of the world's great wine producing regions, consistently offering deep, complex red wines of character and distinction, partly due to the fact that La Rioja benefits from excellent soils, rich in minerals and nutrients, and plenty of sunshine. The climatic conditions allow the fine grape varietals to reach full ripeness and express plenty of the best features of their terroir, making La Rioja wines some of the most interesting to have ever come out of Europe. The Cantabrian mountains to the north provide the perfect shelter from the colder, wetter influences of the Atlantic oceans, and in the beloved vineyards of La Rioja, wineries have been cultivating exceedingly flavorful Tempranillo grapes for generations for the inclusion in their fine single variety and blended wines.
Country: Spain
Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.

CAPE MAY — Educating elementary school students from three towns at Cape May Elementary School would save more than $700,000 per year and reduce the tax rate in two of those towns.
That is the finding of a study presented to the public Monday night at the Cape May Elementary School. The study, done by Richard Perniciaro of Atlantic Cape Community College, said a conservative estimate of the savings is $709,491.
Perniciaro said the school budget from Cape May, West Cape May and Cape May Point was $4,281,535 in 2009 but it would have been $3,572,044 if West Cape May Elementary School closed and those students came to Cape May on a tuition basis. Cape May Point already sends its students — only three of them this year — to Cape May but it was still part of the study.
Perniciaro said the savings would mainly come from reducing staff and eliminating a building. The tax rate would decline in West Cape May and Cape May but increase slightly in Cape May Point.
The school boards in the three towns voted to accept the study, which will now be discussed in more detail in the three towns.
"We're looking at everything with an open mind," West Cape May Board Member Lynn Bowlby said.
Even if the three school boards support the plan, the state Department of Education would make the final decision.
There are still plenty of questions. Bowlby said teachers in West Cape May don't get the benefits that Cape May teachers receive. Perniciaro, however, said Cape May would have to add only two teachers. West Cape May has fewer than 40 students from the borough, though it does take some tuition students from other towns.
Bowlby said the school has always been small dating to the borough's early days as a rural farming community. She said it was "an anomaly" in the 1990s when the school had over 100 students.
"Our school is 150 years old and we always averaged about 50 students, since 1865. We've educated eight generations of West Cape May farming families. At 35 kids we're a little lower than we'd like to be," Bowlby said.
An outstanding 1997 bond issue for a school addition is another issue. It has $550,000 left with annual payments of $75,000.
"West Cape May could pay $75,000 a year, and the cost per student will still be substantially less than what you're currently paying," Perniciaro said.
The cost to educate a West Cape May student is $29,740, compared to $16,468 in Cape May.
The study gave demographic figures showing the population of all three towns is declining and aging, meaning fewer school children. Projections indicate this trend will continue.
"You're not going to have a population boom. You're certainly not going to have a population boom of young families anytime soon," said Perniciaro.
Tax rate projections show savings for Cape May and West Cape May but the numbers were not big to begin with, Perniciaro noted. Cape May would see its rate drop from 6.7 cents per $100 of assessed valuation to 5.6 cents. A $100,000 home would see the tax bill go from $67 to $56.
In West Cape May, the rate would drop from 16.5 cents to 11.1 cents. For a $100,000 home, the bill would drop from $165 to $111. Bowlby, however, cautioned that savings of 5.4 cents per $100 of assessed value could be as low as 3 cents if the bond issue of $75,000 a year is factored in.
Cape May Point would see an increase from .96 cents, $9.60 for the owner of a $100,000 home, to 2.2 cents or $22 for that homeowner.
Cape May has about 170 students now and Perniciaro said even with the West Cape May students it would be well under its capacity of 300 students.
"The economic advantage is one less building and a smaller overall staff," he said.
Upon questioning by a West Cape May teacher, Perniciaro acknowledged "there would be some people who would lose their job." Cape May would take only two new teachers.
Cape May school board Member Edward Connolly urged the boards to concentrate on the education of the students instead of the finances.
"Any decision we make must be based on the best interests of the children. I don't think the issue is how much people will save," Connolly said.

Cloud Point Extraction of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles in Water Samples Identified by Raman Spectroscopy and Quantified by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Poster Mar 28, 2014
Yanxiao Ma, Dr. Andrew F. Callender
Engineered nanoparticles have been shown to affect the growth of living organisms in freshwater such as lakes and rivers. It is important to acquire a suitable technique to identify nanoparticles and quantify them. Raman scattering offers the advantage of analyzing micro-scale nanoparticle species which is the maximum amount available in aquatic environment. In this project, cloud point extraction (CPE) with Raman spectroscopy and atomic absorption spectroscopy was applied to the analysis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) in water and environmental water samples. The non-ionic surfactant Triton X-114 was used to extract the metal oxide nanoparticles from water. The sample was centrifuged to collect the surfactant, followed by Raman spectroscopy of the surfactant phase. NPs were hydrolyzed in concentrated H2SO4, and then diluted to give samples for flame AA. Several CPE factors such as surfactant concentration, pH, incubation temperature, and incubation time were optimized. Method performance was characterized in terms of the smallest concentration of NPs detected, by the selectivity over metal ions, and by the sensitivity of Raman spectroscopy to identify small quantities of NPs in mixtures.

A New Tool for the Automated Sample Preparation of Whole Blood Samples by LC-MS using a Commercial AutosamplerPoster
Automated sample preparation reduces the costs per sample and minimizes sample handling errors. Usually expensive and highly specialized pipetting robots are used. However, most of these systems are not designed with a direct interface for LC-MS applications. In addition common pipetting systems are not optimized for smaller scale sample series. Here we present a new tool for liquid handling of whole blood samples and direct sample injection.

text: Three is now advertising the availability of three hot new HTC handsets, those being the HTC Desire S, Wildfire S and ChaCha. Sadly, it's not confirmed the specific details of pricing as yet, although it's pretty much a certainty that you'll get more data from Three than anywhere else. That's their big selling point these days.According to Crave, Three has announced that it will start selling the Desire S in April, the Wildfire S in May and the ChaCha in June. If you want to get your name down for one (presumably without any kind of commitment as yet), you can do that at the Three website. You'll then be sent the tariffs when confirmed.Three isn't the first company to confirm stock of the phones. Vodafone T-Mobile and Orange have also confirmed they will stock the handsets, but with little in terms of dates. The nearest we got previously was the 'second quarter of this year' from Orange and T-Mobile. Also, no mention of the Salsa anywhere as yet, wonder if that's been dropped from the UK schedules or was just launched way ahead of its shelf date? Only time will tell.Anyway, when the three phones above do land, they will all be showing off the Android 2.4 version of Gingerbread, with the Wildfire S offering a 3.2-inch screen, 5-megapixel camera and 600MHz processor, the Desire S coming with a 3.7-inch screen, 1GHz processor and similar camera, while the Facebook-friendly ChaCha has a Qwerty keyboard, dedicated Facebook button, 2.6-inch screen and 600MHz processor.When we hear contract prices, you'll be the first to know.

Wonder Character In The Spotlight:August
- Sadness I think best describes August. I think it describes him because this whole book basically is about his whole 5th grade experience being sad and is about him growing up. People would always call him names and look at him like he was a different kid than them and not as ''good'' as them. Also in the book August's dog Daisy dies tragically one night and he cry's himself to sleep that is just one example of why I think Sadness best describes August.
Character Influences
I think August had the most impact on Jack because he came into his life and made it an adventure with Summer and Julian and Mr. Tushman at Beecher Prep I think that Jack impacted August's life a lot because he and August both helped each other so much in the story.
Art Representation
My painting is The Scream by Edvard Munch. I chose this painting because it reminds me of my character August.I think this painting represents August because in the painting it shows a rather ugly man screaming.In the backround there is two men looking at him like he is different.At the beginning of wonder when August gos to school for the first time everyone's looking at him like is different

About Zak
My first memory was at eight months old, and at the age of five I proclaimed Rube Goldberg my Hero of Wit & Whim. The following year, I began dabbling in the basic mechanics of human flight using little more than cardboard, duct tape, and my only pair of tennis shoes. I fell like a rock from the tippy-top of the playground, but my head remained in the clouds. I've been brainstorming ever since.
My business card reads: "Category Five Creative Force," and other than that I don't have an incredibly specific job description. With a variety of backgrounds in illustration, design, and the trades, I feel equipped to tackle creative hurdles in a variety of mediums. Currently, I design books for Amazon/Createspace, make jigsaw puzzles for an artisan puzzle company, make logos and branding kits for various businesses, and create UI experiences for iOS. To top it all off, I travel the world while doing it. I'm a full-time rambler, and am incredibly excited and grateful for this opportunity.
