New York Hilton Midtown
1335 Avenue of The Americas, New York, NY
0.2 mi from
Very clean, great location! I have stayed here a few times and always have a nice time there. The cleaning staff is so friendly. The food at the hotel is very expensive. I searched all over for an atm machine and couldn't find one. The lines for the elevator can be a bit long
Great location. Close to Times Square, Central Park, and Rockefeller Center. Large rooms for a New York hotel. Very professionally run and business like facility. High energy level with constant activity in the public areas. It isn't cheap but you can easily pay more for less value in NYC.
Clean room with a comfortable bed. The hotel is very centrally located with many attractions close by. Staff was very efficient and friendly. The walls are paper thin and we had very loud neighbors. We could hear everything going on in the room next door. Unfortunately the neighbors were very inconsiderate and we had to call down to security to ask them to be quiet.
Great location, good room comfort. When you book the price seems to be great, but then you find that the Internet is not included and also the bagage keeping has a cost.
Dirty bathrooms
It was close to all the places we wanted to see. Walk to Times Square, subway nearby, etc.. Lots of restaurants all around. We had a corner room so view in 2 directions! Nothing
Location, Location For the money we aid, we should have a t lest a coffe maker in room/water
Room service. Cold, stale food
Bathroom look old!
clean and mid town so all the attraction you can cover by walk breakfast was not included while we expected bed and breakfast
Nice sized room for NY. Updated and modern. Heat was stuck on high and it was super hot. Luckily the windows work and we could get a cold breeze. Pillows were fluffy and flat at the same time.
Location check in staff
The lobby ambiance The elevators that trapped us unless we called for help from staff. The hotel room we got had a terriie mold odor. The floors were wet especially by the front door. My husband was walking his mom to the front door and his socks were black and smelled from the carpet. So he then knew he must jump in the shower, the water pressure was so terrible and worst of all only cold water. All we wanted was a warm shower and a bed to retire for the night and we couldn't even do that. We called down to the manager and complained and they refunded our room we then left the hotel asap after we called.
Attentive and tailored customer care.
I liked the kindness of the staff and all the resources available to make the stay comfortable The room service food could be a little better and I'd like bubble bath to be offered at the spa. Everything else was fabulous.
Great location, room was clean Old and they don't maintain the building anymore as they will close in 2018. Service not really at Hilton level, the good old days are probably over. I think the hotel offers the value of a EUR 50.- 3* hotel in France or Italy, that's it! The breakfast buffet is ridiculously expensive and average only. Service is not really 5* level. I wouldn't book the hotel again.
THe room was amazing - largest I've ever seen in NYC. And sumptious. We were at the Waldorf during the Blizzard. Ordered room service for dinner (no restaurants were open) at 6:15pm, and they told us 1.5 hour wait. Fine, they were really busy. So, it wasn't until 8:45 that I called down to ask where was our order. It took them 15 minutes to discover that they had no record of our order, but they would expedite. So, we got our food by 9:20. One would have thought they would have comped us SOMETHING. Dessert, even. But, they didn't comp a thing. A REAL classy hotel would have offered something. Points off for that.
Staff was excellent Room was spacious and very quiet Room was clean Bed was very comfortable I would definitely stay again The bathroom was dated and needs to be refurbished The windows also need to be refurbished, it had the old school shade that you pull down that is spring loaded. It also looked for worn. The walls also needed a fresh coat of paint, once again there areas that just looked a little worn.
Terrible next door guests kept trying to get into my room.
Staff and Bull and Bear. Grew up on the WA. It's looks very tired now though. Ironing board was broken, Almost burnt my foot off. Had to check out early, check out staff had no remorse or offering to lessen my bill. Good stay but they don't go the extra mile, which they need right now, considering the competitive landscape of midtown hotels and their current status as kind of a shitty/ outdated hotel. Sorry WA, I love you but either drop your price or update.
The staff were as professional and as helpful as any I've ever experienced. The meeting amenities and food were very high quality. My room was difficult to get to a comfortable temperature. The thermostat did not appear to have any bearing on the room which left me shivering through the night. Also, the fixtures in the bathroom were loose and the sink would not hold water.
Staff very nice. Room was clean and quite. Great location I would stay there again
Very attentive, but not overdone and a great room very comfortable. Refreshing old world charm - it takes you back to a slower pace enjoying a drink at the Bull and Bear.
Everyone was polite
Great location, just steps from Central Park, shopping, restaurants, etc. Nice decor. The $25 fee per guest. Really? What a rip off. BUT, it includes free wifi! And a bottle of water! Many hotels offer wifi and water for free to anyone that signs up for their loyalty/rewards program (which is free!) You do get a $10 credit, though, which can be used to purchase a $20 drink on the roof top. Stop gaming your customers.
Ideal location. Small but well appointed room. Had a great deal so excellent value; likely not great value for money at regular rates, but in that location, would be hard find better options.
Location, roof top Small room, needs renovation - room looks outdated, paper thin walls - can hear everything from next door, expensive for what you get
Nice upscale, modern and hip boutique hotel. Close to my work in midtown and 6 1/2 Ave. Friendly and consistent staff. Fantastic in room amenities. Comfy bed and nice big bathroom, robes and slippers.
Great Location and wonderful people made this place worth being in NYC!!! Nothing...
Location Too noisy
Location 1. No communication by hotel staff. They tried to place us in a room that is half the size of a regular room without even telling us when we checked in. We found about this when we actually entered the room. After that we had to reconcile this very uncomfortable and unexpected experience. 2. Hotel management spent 10 minutes explaining how they cannot keep the fully paid room and that upon check in they will place and assign the room of their availability. Why bother and pay in advance if there is no guarantee? 3. We didn't feel hospitality was there at all. It truly came across as just another place interested in making money rather than building long lasting experience 4. Hotel is definitely run down and it stinks super bad. 5. We would not recommend this hotel and definitely would not have given it 3 stars. Stay some place else!
Perfect location. Great value for money.
Location Poor a/c - room was very warm. Bathroom was small and bed wasn't that comfortable
The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The location was excellent for our needs. The hotel is tired and worn. It needs an injection of cash to update and refresh the rooms and fixtures. It wasn't the worst place to stay because it was clean and the location was great. The front desk was understaffed at both check-in and check-out. This created long lines and long waits. We had to wait an hour for our room to be ready because they were behind on their turn-overs and we arrived at 8PM. They need to hire more staff for peak times.
Noise from nearby club was very present in the room every night until 2AM
Very good, central location on 7th Avenue. Just a few blocks from Times Square, Central Park, immediately adjacent to Broadway...can easily walk (or use subway) to anywhere in Midtown. Hotel staff was courteous and helpful. Had a decent breakfast bar in the lobby with very kind, courteous employees staffing it. Was an enjoyable visit every morning, though it's primarily only got muffins, fruit, and coffee. Room was very minimalist and small. Bed was not particularly comfortable. TV only has a few channels and reception was fuzzy on about half of them. Wi-fi is not free - costs roughly $15 per day, less if you buy several days' worth of usage up front. Noise from the street below was pretty noticeable; it would have been very difficult to tune it out completely had I not been using ear plugs. Basically, it's cheaper than the other (nicer, I would assume) hotels in the area, but the location could make it worthwhile if you don't plan to spend a lot of time in your room...and it's NYC, so why would you? Spend a lot of time out in Manhattan, making use of the great location, and you won't mind the facilities as much.
Being close to Broadway, Central Park and Rockefeller Center. The staff was very helpful.
The location was ideal as it was close to tourist attractions. Lobby was beautifully decorated for Christmas and had a very festive luxurious feel. The rooms however were comfortable, standard but clean and gave Bath and Body Works as complimentary toiletries which was a nice touch. Staff were also friendly. Chargable WIFI - We live in a day and age where communication abroad is important to some. Free WIFI should've been included with the room as it wasn't cheap to book here and would be nice if it was complimentary like other hotels in the area. Also we stayed in room 754 where the air con fan wouldn't switch off (in December)!
Place, location, access, and security
Location Room facility
Location is great. Staff were all curteous and prompt. Room size was good and everything was clean and new. Breakfast at Palm Court was good. Will stay again. N/A
everything is superb... from the location, the room , the food, the service no complain at all.
The hotel is amazing, it was renovated recently and worth the price to stay at this historic hotel at least one time in your life! Also, location is excellent.
Everything was great about the Plaza! The hotel staff was so nice. They were always asking us how we were doing and if we needed anything. Our room was amazing! Very luxurious! The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The mini bar was filled with all kinds of drinks and snacks. I think our favorite part was the bathroom. The walk in shower with the huge shower head was ginormous! The tub was rather large too! Everything was very very clean. It felt like it was brand new and we were the first people to stay in it! The hotel location was great also. Central Park and a subway station is right across the street so it was quite easy going to and from the Yankees games. We will definitely stay at the Plaza again!
The best concierges! Very bad breakfasts. A small choice, tastelessly, the high prices.
Luxurious hotel and rooms.
Ambience and history. The Hotel's position is fantastic and the staff were a pleasure to engage. No.
location crazy crowded lobby!!!!
Service was terrible, our flight got delayed, we called to tel them know, when we got there they had charged us for the first night and they didnt have a room for us!!!! On top of the night manager on our last night was really rude... I will go to the St Regis next time...
The location. the phone at the room did not work properly
Courteous and professional staff. Very nice restoration of this NY landmark. There were no mirrors in the room. Only the one in the bathroom vanity.Maybe they are still finishing the decoration details.
Ubicacion Todavia algunas partes en remodelacion
The size of the suite was great. Plenty of closets. Clean bathroom, very functional. Furniture and fixtures were in top condition. No music capability in the suite unless you brought your own.
Staff were professional and friendly. Room was perfect size,very clean and tidy. Location was perfect.Had 5th ave two blocks away,central park on your door step.Couldn't ask for a better location.The hotel was walking distance to every tourist attraction. The tour bus stop was around the corner too. The room didn't have a coffee/tea maker.Would happily have brought one from the hotel but prices were stupidly high,along with the price of breakfast and dinner. This didn't put us off as starbucks was one block away and was able to walk to all restaurants,plenty of choices.But menu did look good.
The location is superb. Central Park views are a joy to behold. I also thought the front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Postage-stamp sized room, even by NYC standards, for $500 a night. I also would have appreciated more attentive doorman service, especially during evening and nighttime hours. (Daytime service was fine.)
Awesome location. Right at Central Park, with a great view.
Convenient location for the stay Relativelly small room compered to the price, previous Jumairah experience in SAE and generally number of stars of the hotel
Nothing but that we had to leave
The Hotel staff was exceptional. They were very accommodating and definitely worked to in sure that our stay was comfortable and hassel free.
The location and service were great. The room was very comfortable and spacious (especially for NY). We ordered room service and the food was excellent. The parking was more expensive than other local hotels ($65 vs. $50 at other hotels).
Excellent service. Good hotel just facing Central Park. There are many good hotels near Time Square, Rockefeller center, etc. with a more convenient location and with much better prices.
The staff is kind, congenial and attentive. The spa is one of the best I have ever been to. I took my 82-year old parents to NY for the thanksgiving weekend, and the hotel staff was so kind, so wonderful to them. Can't think of a thing!
We liked everything! A great hotel! They upgraded us (the price was the same). Excellent service! Surely we'd like to stay there next time. Location is excellent.
The Library is a gem.....Outstanding food, service and ambiance
Very clean. Pretty decor. Friendly staff. Willing to meet needs when asked.
the location is great- staff helpful
The location of the Hotel. Very close to the shopping area and to Central park.
Great location. Fantastic bed. restaurant/café staff not very effective, engaging or helpful. however the remainder of the employees at the hotel were excellent.
great location very expensive food
The locationa and staff is great. The Hotel rooms are shabby
the hotel was very centally located i did not like the way we were receives at the reception desk.the person that receiveved us was very to the point and did very little effort to try to accomidate us.
Good location near main atractions Yes, bad attention, lack of amenities.
Friendly staff and traditional hotel
as this was christmas the hotel lookes lovely the staff were very helpful and the location was good fot central park area
It is a small elegant hotel. The rooms were spacious and beautifully appointed. We loved the hotel, but returned to find our room had not been made up all day. They got someone right up to us, but I was surprised by that.
The room was overlooking Central Park and very enjoyable. My Grandaughter(10) and I were so impressed by the hotel service. Everyone was so accommodating and friendly. Best NY trip ever! Central to everything You see and hear everything in NY. Its a life experience !
They ignored my original reservation of a King executive suite and put me in a double room. This room had gum on the floor, the bathroom looked dirty, the carpet was disgusting and discolored, overall it needed to be updated. I complained and they ignored my reservation, again, and put me in another double room. This room was slightly updated, but still not what I paid for! After returning a third time, they finally gave me the King room I paid for, but it was almost as disgusting as the first room. Luckily, I had business meetings and was not in my room very much, but it made the end of a long day very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone!!
Location was perfect! They have a house car that can take you to the airport or pick you up. We had a king room that was beautifully decorated and so spacious. Would definitely stay here again. There were a couple of spots that were stained on the shower curtain and on the down comforter. However, I never felt that these things weren't clean there were just some spots. The knobs on the shower were backwards and the facet was slanted so it was sometimes difficult to turn the shower off. This doesn't take away from the fact that the shower felt absolutely amazing!
The location is amazing and the staff generally helpful. Rooms need some updating as do the bathrooms, but overall the hotel is good value by NYC standards.
They hit me with a $30 dollars plus tax facility fee which is ridiculous why should we pay facility valet parking is ridiculous expensive , they hotel needs to be updated the style is from the late 90's we should get more for what we paid for
Location is good. The front desk people are not friendly. They hit me with a "Facility Fee" of $30.00 puls tax (daily) no prior explanation from the front desk ( as to what Facility had I used) when I checked out. Poor communication with guests. Luckily I did ask them to waive this charge. They should explain to me on Facilities Fee when I check in!. Poor customer service! Would I come back to this hotel? You guess!
The staff was friendly and the location was great. The guest services were pretty quick: We had issues with the first room and were quickly moved upon request. One of our charge ports stopped working and it was quickly replaced. Lamp shades were dusty and were quickly cleaned upon request. The rooms are really outdated and truly need to be updated, ESPECIALLY the bathrooms. We had to request a move from the first room due to the tub leaking. The sinks and tubs are chipped and the tubs don't drain well (both rooms). The lamps were dusty and some were broken. The hallways are a bit dark and carpet looks dingy. There is a mandatory facility fee that includes calls, wifi, etc...that is overpriced and totally not worth it.
The staff was very accommodating. My son had to rehearse for a concert he was playing in and the Manager allowed him to use a Ball Room that was not in use. We greatly appreciated that. Also, the evening reception was very nice. The bathroom could be cleaner. There were chipped tiles and the faucet was lose.
The bed was certainly comfortable. Probably the best part of the room. A coffee maker would be nice to have.
Great location, fabulous staff, good amenities. Old beds, lumpy pillows, dated decor.
The location of the hotel is perfect, On the edge of Central Park minutes from 5th avenue shopping. There are some restaurants nearby too. If you are interested in doing something touristy the horse and carriage rides are right outside. Where to begin. I was only there for one night and it was extremely expensive. On top of that they charged me a $35.00 "facilities fee" which was for WiFi, cocktail happy hour, and other amenities. I used the WiFi which worked fine but the cocktail happy hour was a disaster, very disorganized and the staff wasn't super pleasant. I wish I had the choice of adding on these extras. Also, upon check-in the key machine was not working so I was not authorized a room key. Each time I needed to go into my room I had to ask someone; one time I was waiting in the hallway for 30 minutes until someone showed up. It could've been a better experience.
Large Thermostat didn't work so tbe temperature was 80 degrees all day. Couldn't call front desk BC phone didn't work. Old towels were in room
Everything. It was perfect. Room was a little small but I can't complain for the price I paid.
Location, housekeeping services, large room. Gym is spacious and it offers certain fitness activities to the guests, such as Pilates and Yoga. The blinds didn't close totally and allow some lighting into the room. Next day it was fixed with Velcro straps. The front desk assured me that I had a view to 5th Ave and it wasn't true. I saw the back of other buildings towards W 55 St. The gym is spacious but the machines are outdated and only for a certain group of muscles.
Great employees with lovely attitudes
nice and quiet. Great service the room is too small
Service, rooms, location Nothing
Gorgeous hotel, but the staff was rude on multiple occasions. I am used to being treated like royalty when I spend this much on a room.
Luxurious hotel with superb location! The staff are caring, friendly & very helpful with restaurant recommendations or any other needs! The superior rooms are on the smaller side as compared to other luxury hotels in the same price range
Warm and friendly atmosphere
Large and renovated bathroom Bedroom small
The windows in the room were frosted. No view, not even of the air shaft. The room was discounted and the advertisement said, 'Courtyard View', so expectations were low. But FROSTED WINDOWS at the PIERRE.....WTF. If I were the Pierre I would be embarrassed to sell that room. Save it as a spare, use it to comp. someone when you are sold out, but don't advertise it as a Courtyard View when rooms at Rikers' Island have a better view of a courtyard than cell block 412, at the Pierre. I cannot believe the Pierre needs my $500/night and would stoop to selling this room, which is so below their supposed standards. Get rid of the elevator escorts and you won't have to mislead people into an unsatisfying purchase. No more Taj, Pierre for this vacationer. The Essex House has worked fine in the past and will again in the future. HUGE disappointment.
The suite was beautiful and nicely appointed. Room was upgraded to suite due to my anniversary. They sent gratis champagne and cake which was waiting for us after dinner. We were on 4th floor and room was next to heating/AC machines. So long as you didn't look out the window, it was lovely. (I recognize I didn't pay for park view but street view but did end up with the single worst view room in the place.)
Location Old fashion very loud poor AC system
wonderful staff and excellent service, good room service recipes, amazing manager at check in, absolutely incredible and wonderfully welcoming customer service room was incredibly dated and due for a remodel years ago, minimal in furniture, old and worn mattress , sheets incredibly thin with very used and uncomfortable bedding, carpet is dusty from years and years of use, furniture was so old, minimal, totally uncomfortable, bathroom lighting incredibly poor, light fixtures giving off minimal light, lack of art or general in room FF&E comfort expected at a 5 star property
I love Indian food and since the Pierre is a member of the Taj Group, they have several traditional Indian cuisine items on the menu, even for breakfast. Plus, their Indian food is delicious!
Location, staff, security and quiet elegance. Beds were also extremely comfortable. Cleanliness of rooms was noticeably good. Hotel is very quiet at night. You will get a good night's sleep. They need an easy coffee shop with coffee and breakfast breads/toast available on the go at a reasonable price. Coffee service in lobby should remain open longer.
The upper east side hotel is steps away from coffee shops and boutiques, restaurants are a 20 minute walk away or 5 minutes in a cab. The standard is high, rooms are spacious and clean and the staff are friendly, helpful and have exceptional manners compared to other hotels that I've stayed in. The best thing about this hotel was the European influence. I didn't like that a simple standard coffee cost $6, which really should've been free in the morning given the price (albeit worth it) of the hotel stay. Two cocktails should not have cost $46, especially when prosecco was used instead of champagne.
good personal service and good location my deluxe room which is more expensive than their standard and superior rooms already was very small for the price i paid even in nyc. also tiny closet space and drawer space.
have not heard any "no, it is not possible" no
The attentiveness of the staff and the location. The bed was a little uncomfortable.
The property is vintage upper East Side in design and service. The property appeared to be maintained extremely well and the staff was always attentive. The rooms were immaculate and very well maintained. The location is walking distance from both upper East side boutiques and restaurants as well as from midtown shopping, museums and people watching. Subway access is also very convenient. I would recommended this hotel to anyone looking for an old world luxury experience in the heart of vintage New York. I would also return without hesitation. No complains on this visit
Great location.
small hotel and very close to Central Park. service was impeccable no
The hotel staff was - without any exception - very committed and excellently prepared to facilitate all guest needs immediately Concierge recommended a restaurant (the water's edge) to follow the 4th of July fireworks, but from there one could not see even one rocket. A lot of money wasted for nothing.
Everyone was extremely helpful and the rooms were large and clean. The hotel is located on a side street, close to shopping but quiet. I would highly recommend this hotel. The prices in the hotel restaurant were extremely high. A cup of coffee was $10 and yogurt with granola and berries was $27. It was very good but this wasn't room service but actually in the restaurant.
Nice facilities and great location Hotel staff could be more helpful
Friendly and helpful staff, great location and comfortable rooms
The location was great!
thanks for the great service.
It is successfully located - in the center of Manhattan, near to city centre and sights Stopped in 5* parts of hotel. All strongly become outdated, noise both from street, and from the lift and hotel, the sanitary technician and other demands serious reconstruction. Full not conformity to the price offer. A level 3* plus.
personl treatment
Lovely location, very good service. The room was very nice but the bathroom was quite poor in comparison. Enjoyed Sunday brunch. Had a problem with checking in....had the reservation under the wrong name. Didn't like breakfast in Oscars...the food was poor and the coffee was cold
Excellent stay
The views from our tower room were amazing. Staff were helpful and courteous. I would especially like to thank Ces for his personalised service, even though the shuttle did not not pick us up. We were given the wrong information regarding where to board our shuttle service and consequently, missed our transfer to the airport. The shuttle service was rung by reception at the hotel, but the company told us we had been given the wrong information as to where to meet the shuttle and they were not willing to provide us with another service to the airport. We then had the added expense of a taxi fare to JFK, to meet our flight. I did not appreciate this. Also, given the cost of accommodation, I would like to have seen internet access built into the price, not as an additional cost to the customer.
We think this is the best boutique hotel in New York. Impeccable service, historic surroundings, magnificent public rooms. Great room service food. A bit pricey, but so is everything in NYC.

Speaking to the Commissioners about the Library
By Erika Moen on December 22, 2011
A few days ago I shared Katie Lane's letter about what Portlanders can do to keep our libraries fully funded and 80-100 librarians from being laid off in the coming year. One of the actions a Portlander could take would be to show up at today's Meeting of the Board of Commissioners and testify your support of the library.
There was a GREAT turn out of supporters and some truly moving speeches made, thank you so much to everyone who came. It was really moving and I was impressed with how receptive and friendly the commissioners were.
Turns out, the entire thing was recorded! Yes, you can watch it for yourself from the comfort of your computer!
Of course I have to give a spotlight to my friends who spoke up!
My wonderful friend Katie Lane is the one who first filled me in on the library's plight and she is the author of the letter I posted in my last entry on this matter. Her speech gave me goosebumps, no lie. Her talk starts at the 14 minute mark.
George Rohac shares his insight into the beneficial relationship the library provides to a local comics publisher from a financial standpoint. His talk starts at the 17 minute mark.
Dang, and then there's old me! I was all nerves and not nearly as eloquent as my comrades, but I tried to show the commissioners how the library is still an indispensable resource to creators like me, despite the presence of the internet. If I could go back in time, I would have spoken a little less meekly, but hey!, at the very least I'm happy I got to have my voice heard at all. I start at the 23 minute mark.
If you could not make it out to the talk today, you can still help!
Chair Cogen: (503) 988-3308, [email protected] Comm. Kafoury: (503) 988-5220, [email protected] Comm. Smith: (503) 988-5219, [email protected]

The most profitable corporation the world has ever known, Exxon, posted the second-highest annual corporate profit in history in 2012 (surpassed only by its own 2008 record): $45 billion. This month, in a piece written by journalist Antonia Juhasz The Advocate is examining why Exxon has refused to join other corporations in supporting its LGBT employees and families.
The same year Exxon posted its record profits (and again this year) The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) gave Exxon Mobil the lowest score on its Corporate Equality Index ever received by any corporation, a negative 25 out of 100; it was also the first company to ever recieve a negative score. Exxon has also erased nondiscriminatory and partner benefit policies in companies it has purchased, such as Mobil Oil Corporation and XTO Energy. It is the only company known to have ever permanently done so. "It was a slap in the face," says Tom Allen of the reversal of Mobil's LGBT policies. "We worked so hard to get them, and this took us back 30 years," he says "Every single year at that [expletive] stockholders' meeting, they slap us in the face again."
Congressman Alan Lowenthal of California, a cosponsor of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) and the sponsor of an amendment barring Exxon from winning future government oil and gas leases until it changes its LGBT policies, says "You don't have to be progressive just to join the rest of the human race and not discriminate. I don't get it."
The hope for many would be passage of ENDA, which would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity and expression nationwide. (For more on ENDA please visit http://www.glaad.org/enda.) Unfortunately, since 2008, Exxon has spent nearly $90 million lobbying the federal government. The CEO of Exxon, Rex Tillerson, has personally visited the White House a minimum of 13 times since 2009.

f;y swap pics start below this line ----- This is basically a flatwing pattern, ie. Rhody flatwing. The main difference is the colors used because I was trying to get a wide body fly for p'bunker imitation that would be useful at night or in the white water. The recipe is as follows: HOOK- Gamakatsu SC15 2/0 TAIL- Sparse blue dun or black bucktail rain bow flashabou and one black saddle tied flat. BODY- pink pearl Bill's Bodi-braid COLLAR- blue dun bucktail sparse @ 1/3 tail length WING- short flashabou, sparse black bucktail 3/4's the length of the tail. THROAT- small clump of gray calftail the length of the hook shank. As an option you can add some purple bucktail in the wing and add a topping of peacock herl. Eyes are also optional as is the method of fastening them to the fly. Good luck ! ---- end above this line ---- |

Just weeks after ending its joint EMBA program with Haas, Columbia Business School has announced it will go it alone with a new executive program called EMBA-Americas. As its name suggests, the new program will serve experienced professionals living in North and South America.
While Columbia previously served EMBA students in New York and in the Bay Area (throughs its partnership with Haas), the school will now offer programs that meet in multiple locations in the Americas. In response to changing market conditions, Columbia will make an effort to bring the EMBA experience to students, in their local markets. According to the school's website: "Columbia EMBA-Americas is designed for highly accomplished and motivated professionals who are looking to enhance their career with a top executive MBA degree, but whose location or schedule precludes them from attending the traditional alternating weekend format of Columbia's EMBA New York Program."
Students will meet once a month over five semester across 20 months, "primarily in New York City," according to Columbia, although students will also meet in Latin America and in the Bary Area. (Interesting that this move now puts Columbia in direct competition with Haas.) Once students complete the core curriculum, they will then have access to all of the electives currently offered by Columbia's new York-based executive MBA program.
We've heard rumblings of other top-ranked business schools working on changes or expansions to their existing executive education programs. (All just rumors right now!) While the market for traditional, two-year programs is still robust, it's notable that most business schools are investing heavily in these programs, suggesting that they all expect more fragmentation will come to the graduate management education market. As time goes on, comparing degrees between two programs may increasingly become an "apples and oranges" exercise.
Plan on applying to grad school soon? Call us at (800) 925-7737 and speak with an admissions expert today. And, be sure to find us on Facebook and Google+, and follow us on Twitter!

SRD:Deck of Illusions
From D&D Wiki
This material is published under the OGL |
Deck of Illusions: This set of parchment cards is usually found in an ivory, leather, or wooden box. A full deck consists of thirty-four cards. When a card is drawn at random and thrown to the ground, a major image of a creature is formed. The figment lasts until dispelled. The illusory creature cannot move more than 30 feet away from where the card landed, but otherwise moves and acts as if it were real. At all times it obeys the desires of the character who drew the card. When the illusion is dispelled, the card becomes blank and cannot be used again. If the card is picked up, the illusion is automatically and instantly dispelled. The cards in a deck and the illusions they bring forth are summarized on the following table. (Use one of the first two columns to simulate the contents of a full deck using either ordinary playing cards or tarot cards.)

"Hayden Panettiere and her football player boyfriend Scotty McKnight are officially broken up. The two broke up a couple of weeks ago … but it wasn't a nasty breakup. They are still really good friends. They will probably be back together sometime down the road."

the man in the picture is my friend WD "Bill" Connor and the picture is 1972 NFC AFC Royal Moose's Moe...I think the man in the background in the fedora is David Crow....
Hopefully WD will post up an excerpt from his book on how he got Moose from Doc Clayton....
I know Mr Crow because he took us out to dinner on more than one occasion and offered a then substantial amount of money to buy Judge (FC AFC Sourdough's Quickstart) from my brother in 1973..He actually had some engineers from his company take the dimensions from Rex's CL 1 and CL2 and duplicate them on his grounds in Louisiana..the man was a snappy dresser and would often be seen in a wool sportcoat,sometimes even in a tie or a turtleneck...His dog Happy Playboys Pearl won the NFC in 1974 at a EXTREMELY cold Weldon Springs Mo..
the trial was so cold that there was ice on the shoreline at the August A. Busch grounds....Judge was handled by Clint's friend/training partner John Luther who had driven all the way from College Station TX to No Florida to get a third place in an Open to qualify him for the National..They went out after 7 series which was pretty darn cool for a 3.5yr old dog...Lanse went out after the 7th with Jill and lasted till the 9th with Mariah...Roy McFall also went out after the 7th as did Jim Weitzel Sr (jd6400 dad)...the National went 11 series in 4 days...Lanse gave me a picture of all the amateur handlers that competed in that trial...also have a great picture of John/Judge which hangs in the living room in Idaho
Bon is correct!!!!!I will get him tho,great stories,anybody else?Jim
I like history!!! HPW

Yamaha's "STUDIO" series monitors have been designed with serious monitoring in mind. Emphasis is on reference-quality reproduction precision that lets you hear sonic details, rather than flattering sound. They carry on in the tradition of the venerable NS10M STUDIO monitor speaker, which was the definitive near-field speaker monitor in an overwhelming majority of professional studios throughout the world for many years from the 80s onward. But technology has evolved dramatically right throughout the audio chain, and speakers must follow suit. The new top-of-the-line MSP7 STUDIO Powered Monitor Speaker is capable of delivering consistent quality and performance that you can rely on in modern production environments that handle any combination of digital and analog sources as well as stereo and surround formats.
Like the larger MSP7 STUDIO, the MSP5 STUDIO is a two-way bi-amplified bass reflex system that delivers outstanding monitoring precision for digital or analog production in stereo or surround formats. The more compact dimensions of the MSP5 STUDIO make i...

Transformation and continuities in urban struggles : urban politics, trade unions and migration in Spain
Martinez Lucio, M. and Connolly, H. (2012) Transformation and continuities in urban struggles : urban politics, trade unions and migration in Spain. In: LERA 62nd Annual Meeting, Atlanta, USA, 3-5th Jan, 2010. Published in: Urban Studies, Vol. 49 (No. 3). pp. 669-684.

Spain was one of the countries at the heart of the work of Manuel Castells due to its history of urban struggles and labour–urban based alliances. It formed one of the key examples of city movements and the democratisation of urban spaces. The 1960s and 1970s were seen to throw up a range of new types of urban mobilisation and engagement—in part based on issues of internal migration and its urban and employment impact. With the changes in Spain during the late 1970s and 1980s—which were economic, political and social—this dimension of urban politics steadily fell away, although Spain continued to exhibit unique organisational forms at the level of the local state and local civil society. Civic politics were linked to local associations in a curious way, but the extent of mobilisation had changed due to the steady institutionalisation of urban and labour movements (and a weakening of their relations). However, this civic dimension began to re-emerge with the strong wave of immigration after the mid 1990s when, from being a country with one of the lowest levels of first-generation immigrants, it has become the European country with one of the highest. The paper focuses on the way migrant organisations and trade unions have organised in relation to migrants in the labour market. It shows how the legacy of previous mobilisations and structures continues to provide a framework for the politics and inclusion of migrant communities. However, it also argues that much of the new urban politics of migration has been influenced by a service delivery—leading to a similar set of outcomes that faced the indigenous urban movements of the 1960s and 1970s. This is of theoretical significance to how we see network and urban politics in relation to unions and employment relations.

I cannot get email tasks retrieving to work. If I send an email with ? #today then I get todays tasks. if I send one that says ? #before today then i get all my tasks, regardless of date. Can someone tell me how to make this work? What would really put the cherry on the cake would be if I can requests tasks according to my saved searches which I do not believe we can do . Jay |
Jake Toodledo Admin |
"before today" is not a recognized phrase. Try "overdue" instead, or the other options listed in our FAQ.
http://www.toodledo.com/info/help_email.php |
.Jay |
thank you.
overdue doesn't pickup email todays tasks or "no due date" tasks. and I cannot see another option that can do this. I would have thought that getting a list of everything I missed yesterday and everything I need to do today was a common requirement. Could you tell me which option I should be using? regards |
Jake Toodledo Admin |
The email request functionality was not designed to be super powerful. It is really for when you are in a pinch and don't have access to the website in any other way. You can't do complex queries, like tasks that are overdue+due today+without a due-date. You'll need to use the website for that. Sorry

Automatic dishwasher soap poisoning refers to illness that occurs when you swallow soap used in automatic dishwashers or when the soap contacts the face.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Automatic dishwasher products contain various soaps. Potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate are the most common.
Seek immediate emergency medical help. Do NOT make the person throw up.
If the soap is in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
If the soap was swallowed, have the patient immediately drink water or milk.
Determine the following information:
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Blood and urine tests will be done. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
How well a patient does depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment was received. The faster a patient gets medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Swallowing such poisons can have severe effects on many parts of the body. Damage can continue to occur to the esophagus and stomach for several weeks after the product is swallowed. Death may occur up to a month after the poisoning.
However, most cases of swallowing dishwasher soap are relatively nontoxic. Over the counter household products are specifically made to be relatively safe to persons and the environment.

Around this time of year, I suffer from decision fatigue. With the year winding down and the holidays in full swing, I don't want to make any unnecessary decisions.
Especially when the decision is whether to have cheesecake or a brownie. (Ah, if all choices were this rough, right?) Happily, this recipe doesn't ask you to chose; it combines the two.
When I first made these brownies, I swirled a cheesecake topping through the brownie batter. While the result was good, some of the brownie squares had little or no cheesecake and others contained a generous amount. All of the brownies need cheesecake, right? In the second pan, I increased the amount of cheesecake swirl.
But this didn't work. Increasing the amount of cheesecake swirl overwhelmed the brownies, leaving them too fudgy and almost batter-like.
On the next attempt, I reduced the amount of cheesecake swirl back to its original amount but didn't swirl it through the brownie batter. I simply spread it over the entire pan instead of swirling it through the batter. This worked! Each brownie square had a bit of cheesecake and the texture was moist but not unpleasantly wet.
Along the way during testing, I added a little raspberry jam. (Why not?)
Like most recipes, this one welcomes tinkering. Here are a few ideas (please jump in with your own!):
- Make it as written but swap the raspberry jam for strawberry or sour cherry.
- Leave out the jam for simple but rich cheesecake brownies.
- Omit the jam and cheesecake altogether. Without the moist topping, the brownies are a wee bit more cake-like.
- Add chopped, toasted nuts, about 1/2 cup of chopped nuts sprinkled over the batter.

This is something I have been working on for awhile. It is my great pleasure to have Sonny Weems back in the DNB once again. He is returning to Europe playing with CSKA Moscow this season for what he says in our interview is a "Great" deal. Which is great news for a good guy and someone I always have enjoyed and supported. We talk about his career and plans going forward. Also his thoughts on the Raptors last season. He also talks about how he still remains friends with many of the guys on the team and still has a close friendship with Demar DeRozan who recently had a Birthday. We talk about his dunk contest from last year that most people feel was a better show than what the NBA offered last season. He also expresses his thoughts on Toronto and all the Raptors fans.
It was great to catch up with Sonny. I honest do miss his presence in the Raptors locker room. He was always a fun loving guy that was always willing to talk. Wish him the best this season over in Europe and hope to see him back in the NBA soon.

Kali Linux, Successor of the BackTrack Penetration Testing Distro, Launched 59
mask.of.sanity writes "Kali, the sixth installment of the BackTrack operating system has been launched. The platform is a favorite of hackers and penetration testers and has been entirely rebuilt to become more secure, transparent and customizable. Metasploit too has been rebuilt to be more stable with an optional noob-friendly interface. Kali even works on ARM devices and comes ready to go for your Raspberry Pi."
The big new feature is that it's been repackaged as a flavor of Debian, instead of using their own custom packaging magic.

I don't know who will do the critiacal listening after the ouzo starts flowing.
You might even like the NSD-Rudi combo better than the Stockholm-SP.

Stockholm vs Havana (both are upgraded somewhat similar)
The Stockholm upgrade was based on the Havana mods.
I was curious as showing the two side by side,
@rosgr63, I think the icing on the cake is here CuTF!
Here is what I found in a review: "Are CuTF V-Caps too expensive? Some say yes. As a part-time modder, I say no. ….in fact, I think they're a bargain – considering what they do for a sound system. What else can you spend your money on that will transform your music so dramatically? Certainly not tubes and interconnects. The CuTF is worth the price. If you have mediocre equipment, the caps will take the audio quality to an amazing level -- if you have high-end gear, be prepared for a trip to the moon. These caps do not disappoint, and even if you start small, the benefits are huge" (Roger Robles, about V-Cap CuTF).
At first, after I received Havana over 2 years ago (wasn't upgraded at all), I found it lacking in the resolution section & micro-details. It was mediocre as possible in these two chapters. These capacitors did little wonders, indeed.
Hoping the participants here can provide new updates...where are things now?
Currently hooked up to my Glenn OTL 6SN7/12SN7/LP2/5998.
I guess the V-Caps need more burn-is as does the amp.
Thanks, I would agree with this. A modded Stockholm continues to hold my interest.
Me to.. But who can I get to do the mod
I believe a few of our members from the DIY community are up to it. Plus, those in the MHDT Havana thread would know.
Havana react VERY positively to Black Gate electrolytic capacitors. They are the best option in the electrolytic area, the only problem is, they are'n cheap (Elna Silmic are at least 75% the price at which you buy today BG). I have replaced Elna Silmic-I, Silmic II and Cerafine with BG "FK", "F" and "N" series (on the digital section) and the results are clearly above Elna. BG give to sound attack, superior texture & resolution, but also more micro-details and turn the audition into something credible and wholly enjoyable on the level of coherence and musicality!! Continue to believe as BG, V-Cap CuTF (put both on the input and output section) and problably the japanese "K"-grade chips, are from afar the best upgrades for this DAC!

Clean slate. Mulligans. Do overs.
We can wipe a chalk board clean, some people use Mulligans in golf, and in a friendly game of darts you might be lucky if your opponent allows you a do over when you hit them in the shoulder instead of the board.
Life isn't about do overs. In life, we are given the opportunity to learn from our experiences, grow from our mistakes, and we can decide what attitude we will have along the way. Pretty simple when you think about. Living it is another story.
2009 has been a tremendous year for AutismSpot:
~ Initium House Documentary: after a select screening we have finished the final edits and will release the film to the public in 2010
~ Future Horizons: in partnership with Future Horizons we brought you the Autism Super Conference with Dr. Temple Grandin + Dr. Tony Attwood + Dr. Jed Baker + Carol Kranowitz which is available at our sister property SpotUniversity.com
~ SpotUnversity (our Virtual Learning Environment): our VLE platform is being utilized by more than 40 school districts and expands monthly
~ pLD Creative: our creative digital agency was launched and we immediately began large scale multi-media projects with companies like Dougherty's Pharmacy and OIN/LinuxDefenders and ConsoleWorks. Early next month, we will be announcing a new batch of clients that include some exciting new projects.
~ New team members have joined our creative forces this year. We have film school graduates to classic artists to a new director of business development across the projectLD family of companies.
~ pLD Publishing signed two authors and we took our first step into the music industry which will come to fruition in 2010
.....and a few other fun highlights but you get the idea
What is in store for 2010? Glad you asked.
We did not want to do a superficial refresh of content, site layout, or some juvenile adjustments for WOW! factor and then leave you saying, "so what." In typical fashion, we have been analyzing thousands of new Autism websites, newsletters, blogs and content to determine what they are really providing and what they are preaching to the world. Sadly, we continue to be disappointed by the millions of dollars of waste that we come across and the extremely poor execution by so many big brands and names.
Autism has become a massive industry and don't be fooled by the words "non-profit". There is not a single entity out there that doesn't require income/revenue/cash to exist. Branding. You may ask yourself what branding and Autism have in common. Well, some groups tout major endorsements, some pay millions to host events (with massive celebrities) that ultimately must break even first and will hopefully bring in some money after all is said and done, and some groups may (for example) bring in north of $40 million a year and then not be able to deliver on grants and other programs they committed to.
Oh yeah, what about that branding thing? Some organizations like tag lines....A LOT! Hero this, Hero that, Hero here, Hero there, Hero everywhere. Note to self....yelling at the government, yelling at news outlets, yelling at politicians.....all this will get you in the news, it will make some people think you are actually making significant progress, it makes you sound like a fabulous advocate.....BUT what actual results are you able to show? All that money that is donated each year to pay people to yell, to pay for major brand management campaigns better start showing payoff before people catch on. If we are going to debate what causes Autism then start funding the research with real money. Start putting millions behind the studies and less behind your brand management. Awareness IS DEFINITELY important but the public has received the message. Autism impacts everyone, in every community around the world, the numbers are staggering....so what are we as a global community doing about it? Are all these donations being put to the best use?
Should we start doing a better job of auditing EVERY SINGLE one of these non-profit groups that are more than happy to take our money?
I could care less about another T-Shirt, Walk, or sappy PSA commercial that makes people want to cry about how bad we must have it living with Autism. We're over it and should have been a long time ago. Our kids can get better, we can get better, success is within reach, and we need to remove the blinders that tell us there is only one, single way to do things. Whether it is a new therapy, a new medication, a new diet.....look, learn, and decide if your child or you can benefit from it. Anyone who is telling you that something will not work, don't consider it....doesn't have your best interest in mind. Consider every option and stop doing the things that are not paying off. Expect to be sold to, marketed to.....this is how these companies and groups stay in existence. Be smart and make rationale decisions. If something is NOT resulting in measurable improvement then stop spending the money and move on. If someone keeps pushing something on you, if they keep advocating for a particular group about a particular practice or diet but for some reason they haven't seen any improvement with their child...get real...ask yourself why in the world is someone so passionate about something that hasn't helped? Sometimes people like jumping on the bandwagon or riding the cool train because that makes them feel important and in the know.
If you think 2010 is going to be different here at AutismSpot your are correct. We are going to continue to do the things you have found valuable and rely on. We are getting rid of the things that have limited interest. We are going to introduce some things that will likely shake things up a bit as well. Since 2007 we have said....this is just the beginning. As we enter 2010 we are going to say it again....this is just the beginning! There is a new AutismSpot coming and we are all about carving new paths.
Happy New Year and may the love of friends and family fill your hearts and home during this holiday season!

Collared peccary
Collared peccary | |
Scientific classification | |
Kingdom: | Animalia |
Phylum: | Chordata |
Class: | Mammalia |
Order: | Artiodactyla |
Family: | Tayassuidae |
Genus: | Pecari |
Species: | P. tajacu |
Binomial name | |
Pecari tajacu (Linnaeus, 1758) |
Synonyms | |
Tayassu tajacu |
The collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) is a species of mammal in the family Tayassuidae found in North, Central, and South America. They are commonly referred to as javelina, saíno or báquiro, although these terms are also used to describe other species in the family. The species is also known as the musk hog. In Trinidad, it is colloquially known as quenk.
Although somewhat related to the pigs and frequently referred to as one, this species and the other peccaries are no longer classified in the pig family, Suidae.
The collared peccary stands around 510–610 millimetres (20–24 in) tall at the shoulder and is about 1.0–1.5 m (3 ft 3 in–4 ft 11 in) long. It weighs between 16 and 27 kg (35 and 60 lb).[2] The dental formula is as followed: 2/3,1/1,3/3,3/3.[3] The collared peccary has small tusks that point toward the ground when the animal is upright. It also has slender legs with a robust or stocky body. The tail is often hidden in the coarse fur of the peccary.[4]
Range and habitat[edit]
The collared peccary is a widespread creature found throughout much of the tropical and subtropical Americas, ranging from the Southwestern United States to northern Argentina in South America. The only Caribbean island where it is native, however, is Trinidad. It inhabits deserts and xeric shrublands, tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands, flooded grasslands and savannas, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and several other habitats, as well. In addition, it is well adapted to habitats shared by humans, merely requiring sufficient cover; they can be found in cities and agricultural land throughout their range, where they consume garden plants. Notable populations are known to exist in the suburbs of Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona.[5][6]
Collared peccaries normally feed on cactus, mesquite beans, fruits, roots, tubers, palm nuts, grasses, invertebrates, and small vertebrates. In areas inhabited by humans, they will also consume cultivated crops and ornamental plants, such as tulip bulbs.[5][6]
Collared peccaries are diurnal creatures that live in groups of up to 50 individuals, averaging between 6 and 9 members. They sleep in burrows, often under the roots of trees, but sometimes can be found in caves or under logs.[4] However, collared peccaries are not completely diurnal. In central Arizona they are often active at night, but less so in daytime.
Although they usually ignore humans, they will react if they feel threatened. They defend themselves with their tusks. A collared peccary will release a strong musk or give a sharp bark if it is alarmed.[4]

Here's some advice for 21,273 lucky fans who were at the Bell Centre: Hang on to your ticket stubs.
When Carey Price is closing in on 100 career shutouts, you'll have palpable, eBay-sellable proof that you saw his first.
Thing about the Kid, when he's hot he's cool. Price does not panic. The work with Rollie Melanson and the exile to Hamilton have refined his technique and honed his focus.
Flyers get a 5-on-3 power play with ace penalty-killers Markov and Komisarek off for almost two full minutes? No problem.
Roman Hamrlik breaks his stick, turning it into a 5-on-2? No problem.
Fifteen third-period shots in a one-goal game? No problem.
The only problem is Guy Carbonneau's. Who is his goaltender tonight in Philadelphia?
If Carbo is true to his vow that he will ride the hot hand of a winner until there's a loss, it's gotta be Price. The problem – and it won't take long for it to arise – is with impending UFA Cristobal Huet. Price will not go undefeated the rest of the season – heck, it will be tough to get a W tonight in Philly – so we'll find out pretty soon how Huet reacts to having to win back his job AND play well enough to get a nice contract, in Montreal or somewhere else.
Over the course of the last two games, Price has stopped 69 of 70 shots, He's beginning to make a strong push for the number one job, and the organization will have to decide whether Canadiens need the insurance policy of Huet for another season or two.
It's a nice problem to have.
• The Kids were alright last night. I watched the replay of Andrei Kostitsyn's goal when I got home. Amazing. I'd managed to miss its subtleties during he game. Falling and reaching back to redirect the puck …. wow! Truly Ovechkinian. Andrei K., who has a sense of humour, later told reporters he'd taught Ovechkin how to score spectacular goals.
• And Dale Hunter taught his brother to never give an inch. How about brother Sergei getting into it with Scottie Upshall? I love the cojones on that kid.
• Speaking of clanking brass ones: Francis Bouillon, three shots, five hits. If Canadiens had an award for Overachiever of the Year, Frankie the Bull would be a lock.
• Canadiens outhit the Flyers 26-17. Philly goon Riley Cote spent four minutes in the box, 1:36 on the ice. Steve Downie, however, can play hockey … and he's a royal pain in the ass.
• I thought the third and fourth lines did what they had to do: skate, hit and drive pucks deep, obliging the Flyers to lug them back 200 feet. Not exciting, but it eats minutes in a close game.
• Max Lapierre was particularly energetic and understands just how he has to play against the Flyers. He'll be a marked man tonight in Philadelphia.
• On the mad scramble that nearly tied the game – and François Gagnon, among others, thought it did – Tom Kostopoulos joined the pile and later admitted he did so to obscure the view of the overhead camera that Toronto would use to decide if the puck was in. There was no video consultation, but Tom the Bomb is a smart player.
• Roman Hamrlik played a heroic 22:53 – including most of the 5-on-3. He had three hits and a team-leading three blocked shots. Tremendous player.
• Faceoffs were 35-34 Flyers, but it seemed like they won most of the important ones.
• Mark Streit did not have a great night on the PP – too many hasty and poor decisions.
Enough nit-picking.
It was great, playoff-level hockey … and your Montreal Canadiens won the game. They're two points back of Ottawa, which hasn't won since that trade.
And who's got the better goaltending, eh?

Video update: 150 tonnes of rubbish on fire at recycling centre
PUBLISHED: 10:14 27 February 2012 | UPDATED: 17:38 27 February 2012
RESIDENTS living close to a recycling centre in Haverhill are being warned to keep windows and doors shut as around 150 tonnes of rubbish burns at the site.
The blaze at the centre in Homefield Road was reported to Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service at 9.36am as members of the public spotted smoke billowing from the centre.
Two fire crews from Wethersfield in Essex and Newmarket are at the scene tackling the flames along with a turntable ladder and support pump from Bury St Edmunds and a command unit and support pump from Ixworth.
A spokesman for the brigade said the blaze has taken hold of 150 tonnes of recycling at the single storey centre.
Speaking at the site, deputy district commander Jon Illingworth said a turntable ladder was in use with a jet on top of the fire and two ground monitors [remote jets] were also in use.
He said: "Once we are happy with the progress we are making with the fire we will start to commit inside. At the moment the decision is it's still unsafe to go inside."
He added that the flames had not broken through the roof.
The centre is owned by Waste Recycling Group Plc.

There aren't enough adjectives to describe how huge the title track from Salem's upcoming album King Night is. In just under four minutes, the group manages to combine earth-shattering bass, dirty south beats, choral vocals and swirling shoegazey synths into a somehow coherent package. It's all dunked in a healthy dose of melancholy and then left to lumber around, sending speakers everywhere into the red.
King Night will be released by IAMSOUND on September 28. You can check out the title track over at Stereogum.

Ischemic bowel disease results from inadequate flow of oxygenated blood to the intestines. The extent of ischemic bowel disease can range from mild to severe based on the amount of damage from lack of oxygenated blood. This is a potentially serious condition and immediate medical care. The sooner ischemic bowel disease is treated, the more favorable the outcome.
Ischemic bowel disease occurs when an artery that supplies blood becomes blocked or narrowed. There are several possible causes of ischemic bowel disease, including:
Ischemic bowel disease is more common in older adults. Other factors that may increase your chances of developing ischemic bowel disease include:
Ischemic bowel disease may cause:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may suspect ischemic bowel disease based on your symptoms and risk factors. Tests may be done to confirm or rule out a diagnosis.
Tests may include the following:
Treatment options depend on the severity of the ischemia and include the following:
Bowel rest and intravenous fluids are given in mild cases without significant progressed damage to the bowel.
Antibiotics are administered to minimize infection, which can quickly complicate an ischemic bowel.
In more severe cases, surgery is required to remove the ischemic colon.

Fragmented Fabrics Brings Bespoke Fashion To The Next Level
A modular approach to garments makes use of tessellated textiles.
A new breed of fashion product allows you to customize your clothing as your needs and whims dictate:
"There is no sewing as the textile and the garment are created simultaneously.The parts can later be rearranged if perhaps you want to make a color accent, remove a stain, or just show a little more skin"
Some examples of differing approaches to modular textiles can be seen in the pictures above, which vary in the complexity of the modular tesselations from which the garment is assembled.

Advertisement Photographer Beth Galton wanted to see what food looked like from the inside. She explains:This series was inspired by an assignment in which we were asked to cut a burrito in half for a client. Normally for a job, we photograph the surface of food, occasionally taking a bite or a piece out, but rarely the cross section of a finished dish. By cutting these items in half we move past the simple appetite appeal we normally try to achieve and explore the interior worlds of these products.There are plenty more images over on her website—and some look more apetizing than others.
