Great wifi and clean rooms Tasty breakfast sandwiches
Hard to locate Small spaces
Excellent location Friendly staff Late checkout time (12pm- very handy)
Extremely hard bed Dated decor
The bed was superb hard, Metro on the Manhattan bridge every 3min 24h very noisy. Room dirty. Breakfast is only a pre made sandwich, vendibg machine in the basement with the washing machine.
Location is very convenience
Room is too small. Carpet between room n bathroom need clean. No coffee or tea.
breakfast food
cramped bedroom which was not very clean. took ages for hot water to flow in sink and shower. toilet seat not secure (kept moving). wifi kept going off for long periods. very little cupboard space for 3 night stay bedside lamps very poor. toilet paper was lowest standard possible breakfast area was very unhygienic staff just mopped up debris under ice maker machine. had to stand for breakfast has only one table and four seats. only cream powder provided (no milk} for drinks
Staff are very friendly
good location, nice staff, clean room
It is said breakfast is from 7am, but only at 7.30am it just be prepared. room a little small.
Flexible, can pick up breakfast early in the morning if you're in a hurry. Located in China town. Access for cheap and delicious food is easily.
Quite far from the subway if you have a luggage with you.
It was quite close to my destination of business. It was a good opportunity to see China Town
Payment card policy of making copies of your payment card. It is a weak security system
- Nice location, not too far away from Wall Street and good restaurants in China Town - Elevator working well - Friendly staff and speaking Mandarin
- Dusty bath room - Hot water after letting water run for some time - Window could not be opened - Aircon cannot be adjusted
The room rate. The location. The friendly staff.
Size of room - too small/crampy. Dirty room & bathroom. A/C does not work. Suffocating environment.
Clean and in the heart of China Town. Walking distance to World Trade Centre and City Hall
Beds need to be replaced and bathroom needs an update or drain cleaning
Montioned above.
The bed were so hard, throughout the night I actually was considering sleeping on the floor would've been more comfortable.
Bad neighberhood Breakfast quality and site poor Dirty rooms
Easy to get around the major place.
A bit noisy at night but good value for money!!!
Very clean, only a couple blocks to the subway, Very helpful staff and parking very close by and reasonably priced for NYC!
The bed was VERY hard and broke when we were there. A staff member quickly came up and fixed it and we had no other problems for the rest of the stay.
It's location opens up a different part of town that enables different exploring than just Midtown. Although next to the Manhattan Bridge, the external soundproofing was great.
Internal sound proofing wasn't great - noise in the corridors is pretty loud. Location is straight out of Asian cities - might be confronting for some more conservative tourists.
Rooms are very small. There has been even no space to store the luggage in room properly
Good location, reasonably priced for NYC, okay bathroom, free wifi, free breakfast
Very hard beds, poor breakfast.
close to city hall and wall street. 7 mins ro subway east broadway. Good wifi.
There is weak maintenance and thus the room is dirty. We found hair from previous guests all over the place. The location is chinatown which is one of the dirtiest areas in manhattan. Very bad breakfast. Some sweet buns and watery coffee. We didn't eat anything. Very cold inside the room with a strong blow of the air conditioning which cannot be switched off or lowered. There was only one option: on and high.
Really really nice staff, the young guy was very helpful!
Cleanliness is an issue, and do not take the breakfast...
Every thing except washroom
Basic but clean and comfortable and reasonably priced compared to others.
Breakfast consisted of coffee and a sandwich, but we were at expecting a continental breakfast at least.
Your service good

At its best, the process of community assessment is both an effective community organizing tool and also a process for creating concrete change. Many interagency teams are eager to analyze practices and case files together, but some communities are challenged when it comes to committing to change and implementing those changes. Preparing for implementation from the beginning stages of a community assessment can pave the way for success in implementing changes the assessment recommends. Join us for an insightful discussion to learn about key strategies for successful implementation of recommendations and findings.

Gnostics (from the Greek word for "to know") A mixture of astrology, kabala, Christianity and Egyptian mysticism formed the philosophies of a number of Gnostic sects. They attempted to reconcile Christianity and the philosophy of Pythagoras. A preoccupation with rather heavy orgiastic rituals alienated them from some of the Christian churches. These sects were inordinately fond of magic talismans of various kinds, usually carved on gems.
Among the various Gnostic sects were the Albigensis, Carbonari, Carpocratians, Cathari, Lollards, and Paulicans. All were looked upon by the Christians as heretics and sorcerers. The magicians Simon Magus and Apollonius of Tyana are said to have been Gnostics.

Haena House Rental Photos and Description
House, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
Welcome to Mapuana, a beautiful and newly remodeled home on the north shore of Kauai just 2.3 miles from road's end and the fabled NaPali Coast. The 200 foot private drive leads you to a secluded oasis. This scrupulously maintained home surrounds you with simple luxury and lush Hawaiian themes to enhance your vacation in tropical paradise. Mapuana features vaulted ceilings and Brazilian cherry wood floors throughout the main floor. Banks of sliding doors open to take advantage of the spacious wrap-around lanai. The handsomely furnished top floor lanai catches cool breezes and provides a private sun deck. It's the perfect place to gaze at the lush tropical foliage and swaying palm trees and listen to the sounds of birds singing, roosters crowing and ocean waves lapping the shore.
Newly decorated with Hawaiiana and aloha hospitality, there are four inviting bedrooms (two upstairs - each with a queen bed and two downstairs - each with two twin beds). There is a full bathroom located on each level plus an outdoor tropical shower. The fully appointed kitchen is stocked with every cooking tool you might need and includes granite counter-tops, as do both bathrooms. The formal dining area seats eight at a solid teak table. The bottom level has covered parking for two vehicles, a barbeque area with new gas grill, outdoor dining area, storage for beach amenities and a courtesy selection of beach toys and gear. The enclosed outdoor hot/cold shower is perfect for rinsing off the white sand after a day at the beach. The full size washer/dryer in the downstairs laundry room makes it easy to bring just one bag and stay for weeks! (Linens, bath towels and beach towels are provided.)
The spacious yard is meticulously and lushly landscaped, filled with a variety of indigenous Hawaiian tropical plantings including colorful plumerias, pink and red gingers, hibiscus, fragrant ylang-ylang, papaya, banana and coconut palm trees.
Best of all, the warm Pacific Ocean is just steps from your door. Just a short 100 yard walk takes you to one of the most secluded beaches on the Island; world-class, white sand beaches stretch for miles in both directions. Enjoy the tranquility of this extraordinary area nestled between emerald mountains and azure seas. Snorkelers will find clear, pristine waters and a vast array of multi-colored fish. On any given day you can encounter turtles, spinner dolphins, whales or the occasional Monk seal coming out to play.
Kauai's main vacation attraction remains its natural splendor. You'll cross seven charming one-lane bridges to get to Haena, a small oceanfront, residential community situated four miles beyond Hanalei. Haena is the northernmost point on Kauai and offers the island's best access to outdoor activities and scenic wonders. Swim with turtles at world-famous Tunnels Beach, just a 7 minute walk from Mapuana. Swim and sunbathe at nearby Lumahai Beach or Haena Cove and watch the kite surfers at Kepuhi Point. Hike the NaPali coast or watch the sun set behind Makana (Bali Hai). Among the most beautiful places on Earth, here you will discover waterfalls, lush green jungles, gorgeous deserted beaches, fabulous hiking trails, unparalleled snorkeling, picturesque kite surfers and spectacular sunsets.

About Property Owner
We live in Los Angeles, California with our two school age children. While we enjoy the benefits of the city we enjoy getting away from it all when we go on vacation. We joke that we bought our house in Kauai as an insurance policy so our kids will always want to vacation with us -- even when they are teenagers! They love being so close to the beach; we go there every day when we're on island. They also love to play in the large private yard. And we love having plenty of room to invite our friends and family to come share our slice of paradise.
Property Owner purchased this house in 2004
Why Property Owner chose Haena
We searched for 7 years to find the perfect house in Kauai. Before we had children we owned a small condo on the south shore. We were looking to get away from the massive development that continues to go on down south. We wanted a house in a place that could never be spoiled by condo and hotel developments. The quaint 7 one-lane bridges that separate charming Hanalei from secluded Haena ensure that no encroaching developments will ever take place in our beach town. Unlike many of the 'suburban' developments elsewhere on Kauai, this is the way Old Hawaii used to be but with all the modern conveniences and simple luxury we enjoy on vacation. We also wanted to be close enough to the fabulous beaches to ensure a quick walk and the peaceful sounds of the ocean day and night. But we didn't want the wear and tear, and overly loud crashing waves one finds living right on the beach. Mapuana gave us the privacy and the perfect location we were looking for!
What makes this house unique
Our favorite beach activities are snorkeling, surfing, boogie boarding and stand up paddling. We also enjoy running the 2.3 miles to the end of the road and hiking the spectacular 11 mile Kalalau Trail. The run to and from the end of the island is so beautiful it's hard to come home and run on our city streets! The kids love to play in the large lushly landscaped private yard. Our son loves to practice his pitching and catching and our daughter loves to practice her gymnastics on the lawn. Meanwhile we enjoy reading and relaxing on the beautiful lanai. We could listen to the ocean and the wind in the swaying palms all afternoon. After a full day of fun in the sun we love to visit some of our favorite restaurants for dinner; just a short but stunning drive to Hanalei. After dinner, we always save room for shaved ice!

"We enjoyed your house for a mini-family reunion. The cousins enjoyed time exploring the different beaches and sunset walks. We hope to return again!"

Angelic voice... Tragic death inspires Warner Brothers latest production. See A&E page 6 Friday, February 14, 1997 Volume 59 Number 54 Committee stands behind original proposal vj By Mellyn L. Cole news editor-Signpost The Senate Fee Recommendation Committee decided during Wednesday's appeal hearing not to alter the budget proposed to Weber State University senators in Saturday's 14-hour meeting. "I think we'll have a better time passing it in Senate by standing behind the original proposal," said Jason Whelan, Associated Students of WSU president. Although athletics, campus recreation and ASWSU all received less funding than requested, the only appeal was a letter from Signpost advi- tudent Fees sor Sheree Josephson. Josephson explained the Signpost has been safeguarding itscarry-forward to replace aging computer equipment and to avoid having to request money for equipment in the future. "It's difficult to not feel as though we were punished for being fiscally responsible and for holding onto our carry-forward," Josephson said. She also said, "We are looking at our decrease in student fee funding as a way of helping out the university in difficult times." Aaron Campbell, student at large, said, "I realize that the budget is not a perfect piece of work, but I think it is very, very good." The committee has invested numerous hours since the beginning of winter quarter to hear funding requests and craft a proposal agreeable to all members."This committee is as diverse as the Senate. I think the campus is represented well," Campbell said. "It was a compromise on all of our parts," said John Shupe, Veteran Stu dents senator. Saturday's meeting was long and heated. "A lot of people have strong feelings and I don't think they'll go away," Shupe said. The state-mandated salary increase, which covers wages and benefits for employees, is one point of disagreement."Some senators are opposed to any mandated salary increase at all," said Judy Hurst, director of student activities.Members of the committee expressed concern that not all senators have a good understanding of student fees and briefly discussed the idea of videotaping student fee hearings. Andy Young, academic vice president, said he didn't feel attending the hearings would have changed any of the senators' feelings. "We all have points we feel strongly about," Young said. "I don't think that attending the hearings would have changed their opinions." According to Marie Kotter, vice president of student services, the budget has been rejected by the Senate only twice before. In Monday's senate meeting, senators voted to postpone making a decision on the budget. The emergency meeting scheduled for Monday has also been postponed. Utah 's largest career fair attracts variety of students By Mellyn L. Cole news editor-Signpost At the largest Career Fair in Utah, Thursday, some students were dressed in business attire and carrying resumes, others were wearing jeans and eating popcorn. The annual Weber State University Career Fair hosted 144 different businesses. Appealing to a variety of interests, the fair hosted the FBI, the Los Angelos College of Chiropractics and everything in between. "There's more opportunities than what I thought there would be," said WSU student, Robin Wilde. "In my opinion, it's a better career fair than Utah State's." One of the newer companies to participate in the fair is Vitrex, which is best described as an "outsourcing firm," said staffing specialist, Erika Wilder. Vitrex is an Ogden-based company that works with clients along the Wasatch Front, as well as in Phoenix and Las Vegas. "We're trying to give people the experience they need," Wilder said. Scott Warner will be graduating after winter quarter and hopes to find someone to help him gain experience. "I met a few companies that were great. I gave them my resume, so I guess we'll 1 I !

Rasmussen news editor emeritus-Sgiwsf The discussion over keeping the tenure system in academia has long been debated, but after four Weber State University professors discussed and debuted the issues at Honours Issues Forum yesterday, questions continue to linger. Should professors be considered "the untouchables" when they receive tenure? Should professors be allowed to teach after they lose their passion? According to Don Sharpes, professor of teacher education, tenure is an important part in the history of academia. "The question 'should professors be allowed to teach after they lose their passion' makes it look like those with tenure have lost all passion for teaching, which isn't the case." Sharpes said. He said tenure is only a means of giving certain privileges to those with experience and expertise in their field. He added that this type of system has existed long before modern institutions were developed. "Tenure is a 900-year-old tradition that protects the seekers of truth, the disseminators of knowledge from people who would wish to do away with it," Sharpes said. "Tenure supports the spirit of academic protection, academic freedom." Ly all Crawford, associate professor of communication, disagrees with the whole idea of tenure. He said people should imagine who they would be without the influence of all the different people they've come across in this lifetime.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Benjamin F. Tureaud, grandson of Emanuel Bringier and the son of Judge Augustin Dominique Tureaud, was a sugarcane planter of Ascension Parish and St. James Parish, La. He operated a plantation store and conducted business under the name of Benjamin Tureaud & Co. He had two sons, Benjamin and Henri, and a daughter Aglae with his wife, Marie Elizabeth Aglae Bringier, daughter of Michel Doradou Bringier and Louise Elizabeth Aglae DuBourg de Ste Colombe. Tureaud died Dec. 5, 1883, at the age of sixty-five.
Correspondence and financial records pertaining to the operation of Bagatelle, Brule and Houmas plantations and the business transactions of Benjamin Tureaud and Co. comprise the majority of this collection. Papers include plantation payrolls (1867-1889, n.d.); receipts for taxes, labor accounts and shipment of merchandise (1867-1875); statements of account (1873-1875); and waybills with details of carrier, cargo and charges.

(Papers are arranged chronologically, then organized within years by format.)
Ante-bellum papers include a series of letters (1845-1855) from Tureaud's brother-in-law, Martin Gordon, Jr., a New Orleans commission merchant. His letters pertain to cotton, sugar, and tobacco prices; imports and exports; molasses sales, sugar production, and he advises on the Bringier family estate, including the sugar crops at Houmas, Brule and Whitehall plantations. He makes references to Bringier family disputes and sugar production at Hermitage Plantation (Nov. 11, 1849). Gordon also reports that the size of the Whig party will be greatly reduced after the New Orleans' city elections (Nov. 7, 1849), and he describes bank closures and economic conditions in New Orleans due to the banking panic (Oct. 15, 1857). Legal documents and some correspondence concern the sale (May 8, 1828, Jan. 30, 1835) and treatment (Dec. 30, 1852) of slaves, articles purchased for slaves (Dec. 30, (1850), and the fear of cholera among slaves (June 6, 1855). Additional early documents relate to the sale and transfer of land (March 25, 1805) to Alexander Stirling of West Feliciana Parish, La.; authorization given to Philip Hickey by James Proffit of New Orleans (Oct. 8, 1807) to sell Marshall Pantation; and a verdict (Sept. 2 1806) rendered by William Bell, Spanish alcalde of St. Helena Parish, sentencing a man for defaming the character of two women of good reputation. Additionally, early business papers contain promissory notes, bills, and receipts for travel, as well as personal and household items such as hardware, books, clothing and tobacco products (1807-1833). Other topics discussed in correspondence include weather, crop conditions, the public sale of sheep and mares (Aug. 25, 1817), the presence of cholera at Houmas Plantation (Sept. 19, 1850) and the German Coast, and the absence of cholera at Houmas and Brule plantations (June 6, 1855). There is also a list of borders at University of Louisiana (Jan. 6, 1856) and an account of the Phoenix Company of Louisiana in the Mexican War, giving dates of mustering in and discharge (n.d.). This account gives the history and military activities of the company and that of other military units.
Of note is a letter (March 9, 1860) by Alexander Dimitry, the U. S. Foreign Minister to Nicaragua and Costa Rica, to his son, John Bull Dimitry in Costa Rica, in which he discusses his duties as foreign minister, the intrigue among officials over the establishment of a transit, approval by President James Buchanan for Dimitry's plan for a land-and-water transit route across Nicaragua, hostility towards U.S. citizens caused William Walker's destruction of Granada, and poor social conditions exciting there. He also congratulates his son for his views on Costa Rica.
There are few papers of the Civil War period consist of a poem critical of General Butler (July 16, 1863), a petition in the succession of George Mather filed in St. James Parish District Court naming his heirs (June 20, 1861), a judgment in favor of Mrs. A. Tureaud against L. A. Bringier (Mar. 1, 1863), payroll sheet for Union Plantation (Feb. 4, 1865). Letters from another brother-in-law, Duncan Farrar Kenner, of Ashland Plantation deal primarily with the business of Benjamin Tureaud & Co. However, in a letter to Governor Thomas O. Moore (Sept. 25, 1864) he expresses his opinions that bond issues are acceptable for the payment of Confederate taxes, the Confederate Treasury Dept. is slow to deliver funds, and he expects General Henry Grey to be elected to Congress. Kenner also states that he does not despair over the fall of Atlanta, Ga., and that General Grant holds on only for the political affect on the Presidential election. [Sept. 25, 1864 letter not available on microfilm].
After 1867, papers consist chiefly of business records that include waybills for sugar and molasses shipments; statements of account for purchases made by Benjamin Tureaud and Co.; for sugar shipments to New Orleans and merchandise purchased for Tureaud's plantations and store, along with receipts for miscellaneous expenditures and repairs on the plantations. Records related to plantation labor contain receipts for wages and lists of laborers reflecting hours worked and wages earned; payrolls generally list names of laborers and note whether they were white or Chinese; there is also a receipt (July 1, 1871) for the transportation of Chinese laborers to Houmas Plantation. Other topics appearing in the correspondence concern contracting laborers, breeding mares (March 24, 28, April 3, 1875), an outbreak of "charbon" among the cattle at Ashland Plantation (July 25, 1875), grange movement in Illinois (Sept. 20, 1875), a preference for African-American laborers to whites during grinding of the sugarcane (Aug. 6, 1875).
Later correspondence from Gordon Martin, Jr. concerns plantation labor, sugar market, and freight rates (1874-1878). Joseph Richard, Jr., talks of lumber purchased at Plaquemine or Baton Rouge, the lack sawmills in operation at Bayou Goula, and of one in operation at Manchac (Aug. 3, 1875). John Lidgerwood to L. A. Bringier describes the sugar culture and milling (May 10, 1887), and there is reference to Mr. Kenner repairing two crevasses (1892). Tureaud's letters (1875-1879) direct the management of Brule, giving instruction on preparation for sugar cane cutting and grinding, making hay, fences, and the selection of laborers. His letters also pertain to the treatment of "charbon", sugar crop, livestock feed, risk of shipping currency, and in an unsigned letter, expresses an adverse criticism of marriage (1892). Other items include a certificate issued by the Democratic Party recommending to "all Democrats" the protection and employment of the bearer (Nov. 3, 1868), receipts for bread tickets issued by Porta's bakery, Union, La. (1882-1886), printed pedigree of the horse Silverheels (n.d), Ben Tureaud, Jr. reports no one was killed installing six boilers near the old bagasse boilers at Tezcuco Plantation (n.d.), and comments by Joseph S. Mather on the financial speculation in Louisiana oil (Sept. 10, 1911).
Family letters are found throughout the collection and relate to business, family matters, and social activities; several letters are written in French. Correspondence from the children include letters written by Ben Tureaud, Jr., from Paris depicting Parisian social life, progress of his studies at Clare Mont, and his observations at the news of Maximillian's death (1866-1868). Letters from Phil Tureaud (1869-1871) discuss his studies and social activities, including baseball, at St. John School, Miss., and Trist Bringier discusses student activities at Virginia Military Institute (Nov. 30, 1877). References made to notable individuals include favorable comments on the singing ability of Jenny Lind (Feb. 14, 1851), the captivating Sarah Bernhardt (Feb. 16, 1892), and a proposed visit by Isaac Delgado to the coast; Lotta and Thompson play to fine audiences, however, burlesque is corrupting New Orleans (Jan. 31, 1872), and a description of Mrs. Tom Thumb (March 11, 1883).
Newspaper clippings (1875-1925, n.d.) relate to political elections, political figures, World War I (n.d.), prohibition (ca. 1923), religion (n.d.), Ku Klux Klan (n.d.), and an exhausted Union Sulfur Co. mine near Lake Charles (Feb. 1, 1925). Printed cards are made up of trade cards, business cards and a ticket for passage on the steamer Selma.

Health & Pregnancy
Pregnancy and Miscarriage
How Is a Miscarriage Diagnosed and Treated? continued...
If a miscarriage was not confirmed, but you had symptoms of a miscarriage, bed rest is often prescribed for several days, and you may be admitted to the hospital overnight for observation. Blood work to determine the amount of a pregnancy hormone (hCG) may be performed to monitor the pregnancy. When the bleeding stops, usually you will be able to continue with your normal activities. If the cervix is dilated, you may be diagnosed with an incompetent cervix and a procedure to close the cervix (called cerclage) may be performed. If your blood type is Rh negative and your partner is Rh positive, your doctor may give you a blood product called Rh immune globulin (Rhogam). This prevents you from developing antibodies that could harm your baby now or in future pregnancies.
Blood tests, genetic tests, or medication may be necessary if a woman has more than two miscarriages in a row (called repeated miscarriage). Some diagnostic procedures used to evaluate the cause of repeated miscarriage include:
- Endometrial biopsy, a procedure involving the removal of a small amount of tissue from the lining of the uterus for study under a microscope Hysterosalpingogram, an X-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes
- Hysteroscopy, a test in which the doctor views the inside of the uterus with a thin, telescope-like device inserted through the vagina and cervix
- Laparoscopy, a surgical procedure in which the doctor views the pelvic organs with a lighted device
How Do I Know if I Had a Miscarriage?
Spotting and mild discomfort are common symptoms after a miscarriage. If you have heavy bleeding, fever, chills or pain, contact your health care provider right away. These may be signs of an infection.
Can I Get Pregnant Following a Miscarriage?
Yes. At least 85% of women who have miscarriages have subsequent normal pregnancies and births. Having a miscarriage does not necessarily mean you have a fertility problem. On the other hand, about 1%-2% of women may have repeated miscarriages (three or more). Some researchers believe this is related to an autoimmune response.
If you've had two miscarriages in a row, you should stop trying to conceive, use a form of birth control and ask your health care provider to perform diagnostic tests to determine the cause of the miscarriages.
When Can I Try to Get Pregnant After a Miscarriage?
Discuss the timing of your next pregnancy with your health care provider. Some health care providers recommend waiting a certain amount of time (from one menstrual cycle to 3 months) before trying to conceive again. To prevent another miscarriage, your health care provider may recommend treatment with progesterone, a hormone needed for implantation in the uterus.
Taking time to heal both physically and emotionally after a miscarriage is important. Above all, don't blame yourself for the miscarriage. Counseling is available to help you cope with your loss. Pregnancy loss support groups may also be a valuable resource to you and your partner. Ask your health care provider for more information about these resources.

Pencil Pusher
Backstage at Victoria Beckham this morning, the designer ordered up what's become something of a signature helping of simple, modern, and sophisticated beauty. Guido Palau's loose ponytails were slung low, left wispy, and treated to a high-shine texture, accordingly, while Diane Kendal kept makeup on the natural side, tinting lids with MAC Sculpting Cream in Coffee Walnut and contouring the face with its Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder. As for the nails, they were groomed and unassuming—pretty self-explanatory, or so we thought. "I'm using a Nail White Pencil," Marian Newman explained of the stick she was implementing to clean under the edges of models' fingertips, lightening the nail in the process. "It looks like eye liner, but it's thicker," she continued of the new-to-us tool from Rimmel London that boosts the healthy appearance of nails without trying too hard. Slicked with a top coat of MAC Overlacquer and buffed for a glossy effect, it made for an impressively clean, perfect-looking manicure. You learn something new every day in the backstage trenches.

"The weight of the card/thickness really gives it a high quality feel. The colors are subtle and beautiful. We ended up picking an outfit for our daughter at Carter's that managed to match the colors in the pink in the flowers and the dark gray of the chalkboard pretty much exactly. It looks absolutely fantastic. So far, everyone who has RSVP'd has commented about how beautiful the invite was. I would definitely order from Tiny Prints again."
"I'm very happy with this invite and received so many compliments on it! I picked the most basic paper which is thick and study, but I would prefer a smoother one. I'm sure the upgrades are better. The printing is great! just as it looked online. The colors are bold and there are no pixels."
"Loved the look and quality of this invitation. Everyone said how beautiful it was! I just got standard shipping and they were to me in no time. Thanks so much, will always get my invitations from Tinyprints!"
"I loved all of the options for the different fonts. Came in fast and looked just as cute as they did online. Everyone thought they were precious! Would definitely order from here again!"
"I am in love with this invite! It is so cute. The quality is good, but the customer service is exceptional. They caught a mistake and also offered to try and up the quality of a photo. They sent complimentary e-proof for me to approve. Thanks, I love it!"

(WTOL) - If you buy a dress or pants and they do not fit well, you head back to the store and return them. As long as you have your receipt, there is no problem. But there is one item that is no longer as easy to exchange.
Shoppers have grown accustomed to returning items they dislike, or that do not fit as well as they had hoped. But there is one type of product that is becoming more and more difficult to return as prices get higher: footwear.
Melissa Winkle did not think twice about wearing new $100 boots a few times to make sure they fit.
"I have worn them four days in the past two weeks and get a maximum of two hours wear out of these. And then the left one, the top of my foot starts throbbing. It's excruciating, painful," explained Winkle.
After eight hours of gentle use, Winkle decided the boots would not work.
"I just wanted my money back," said Winkle.
Winkle returned to the store only to learn she could not return the boots even though she had been very gentle with wearing them.
"Not doing farm work, manual labor, anything like that," said Winkle.
However, the receipt clearly says, "no return on worn items," a policy many footwear stores are adding as women's shoe prices push the $100 mark.
Store employees refused to talk on camera, but the owner later said via phone he would make an exception in this case and exchange the boots.
But unless you are dealing with Nordstroms and its very generous return policy, many women bloggers advised wearing shoes only in the house until you are sure they fit.
Winkle feels these new policies are too strict.
"If you don't wear them, and you don't wear them for what you buy them for, how are you supposed to know whether they work out for you or not?" asked Winkle.
Bottom line: With any purchase, check the return policy before you leave the store. Especially with shoes, find out what the rules are about wearing them, in case you may want an exchange.
That way you don't waste your money.

In an effort to provide better-performing building envelopes, a collaborative effort has led to the first successful testing of a vacuum-insulated high-performance thermal curtainwall system. Working closely with Dow Corning Corporation and Guardian Industries Corp., BISEM-USA recently completed independent testing of the BISEM Vacuum Wall system.
This is the first structurally glazed unitized curtainwall in North America using vacuum insulation technology to undergo industry-recognized and accepted independent performance testing for air and water resistance, and structural, seismic and thermal performance. The system was tested in accordance with AAMA 501, as published by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA). Completion of the commercial testing provides the proof necessary to ensure that architects can specify this solution with confidence.
The collaboration began when Dow Corning Sales Representative Chris Combs introduced the new Dow Corning Architectural Insulation Module – featuring Dow Corning Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) technology – to Bagatelos, an accomplished curtainwall assembler and integrator and longtime user of Dow Corning brand products. Bagatelos immediately saw the potential.
With the Dow Corning insulation technology selected for the wall spandrel, Bagatelos looked to Guardian Industries for suitable complementary vision glass options. Guardian Industries – one of the world's largest manufacturers of float, coated and fabricated glass for the commercial, residential and automotive markets – developed a prototype for the system that combined its vacuum-insulated glass product with SunGuard SuperNeutral 68 Low-E glass coating to meet the challenging requirements of commercial high-performance wall installations. While the vacuum-insulated glass product is currently under development, Guardian has plans to commercialize it in the future.
With the latest technologies from Dow Corning and Guardian, BISEM developed the new curtainwall with a system approach, providing outstanding thermal performance and also meeting industry established performance criteria for air and water resistance, and structural and seismic performance.
The BISEM Vacuum Wall system brings together the Dow Corning and Guardian products, along with frame, gasketing and thermal break. It features removable rigid components with good thermal properties. The test chamber walls also utilized Dow Corning DefendAir 200 liquid-applied silicone air and weather barrier on wall substrates, along with the Dow Corning Silicone Transition System to ensure a weathertight transition between the curtainwall and the surrounding chamber wall substrates, allowing the test specimen to be readily isolated.
BISEM contracted with an independent testing facility, Architectural Testing, Inc., to conduct performance testing on the BISEM Vacuum Wall system mockup. Actual structural tests and validated thermal modeling confirmed that the curtainwall would remain in place on the building for both specifically prescribed and overload conditions, without over deflecting, while also providing a complete envelope that defends against air and water infiltration and can meet stringent thermal performance goals.
According to Chris Dolan, director of commercial glass marketing for Guardian Industries, collaboratively designing and testing with technologies backed by proven, warranted performance led to a fully integrated solution. Successful completion of this high-performance curtainwall is a testament to the potential for energy-efficient façades and glass systems – and the potential of collaborative projects.

BATON ROUGE – Save money while protecting your home and your family from hurricanes.
The 2011 Louisiana Hurricane Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday takes place Saturday, May 28, and Sunday, May 29. During these two days, specified emergency supplies are exempt from the 4 percent state sales tax.
"This is a good opportunity to stock up on the basic items families need in the event of a strong storm," Governor Bobby Jindal said. "The fact is when storms or other emergencies impact our state, power is down, streets are covered with debris and sometimes high waters prevent folks from going to the store and getting what they need. This tax holiday doesn't just make financial sense, it's about reminding folks to Get-a-Gameplan, get prepared, and take steps now to protect their family in the event of a storm."
The sales tax exemption applies to the first $1,500 of the purchase price of each of the following items:
• Self-powered light sources, such as flashlights and candles• Portable self-powered radios, two-way radios, and weather-band radios• Tarpaulins or other flexible waterproof sheeting • Ground anchor systems, straps or tie-down kits• Gas or diesel fuel tanks• Batteries, sizes AAA, AA, C, D, 6-volt, or 9-volt (Automobile batteries and boat batteries are ineligible)• Cellular phone batteries and chargers• Non-electric food storage coolers• Portable generators• Storm shutter devices (Materials and products manufactured, rated, and marketed specifically for the purposes of preventing window damage from storms)• Carbon monoxide detectors• "Blue Ice" (and similar re-usable cooling products)
The 2011 Louisiana Hurricane Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday does not apply to items or supplies purchased at airports, public lodging establishments, hotels, convenience stores, or entertainment complexes.

I`m stuck at this point.I have 2 brackets which they both need cutting so as to create a hinge.The part is sheet metal formed.How does one make the cuts so as to create the hinge and also how can i flatten these 2 pieces please?
I'm not sure how you need these cut but I attached one possibility. Look at the browser to see how it was done. As to the flat, pick a face a click on "Create Flat Pattern".
Thanks Jeff
I also did a bit of a search and there is a cut across bend??..not sure how that works but i will try and find more info...thanks for your solution
Can you give a better discription of what you are trying to accomplish?
OK...1 bracket will have the middle third cut out and the other hinge will have the 2 outside cut off leaving just a third in the middle....Thank you
I think you'll need two different brackets. See attached.

Fossati Artiste Model OboeGerard Fossati created his first instrument in 1983, motivated by a strong desire to improve oboe-making in general. His vision has always been the optimization of the whole instrument (i.e mechanics, sound, intonation), so as to best suit every musician's expectations. The Fossati Artiste Model is a beautiful embodiment of this mindset. Thanks to the combination of Fossati's traditional know-how and his welcoming attitude toward new technologies (CAD for R&D, numeric lathes, et cetera.), the Fossati instruments have both a lasting reliability and the voice of a fine instrument. Twenty years after establishing his company, this fusion of the old with the new has made the Fossati brand an important name on the international oboe market.Gerard Fossati believes that musicians have to be at the core of his thoughts in the process of instrument making. This is why he works hand-in-hand with many of the world's leading players. From Brazil to Russia or from Japan to the USA, Gerard Fossati does not hesitate to travel the world to meet them. Each country has its own particularities. Each musician is different and has his own morphology, his own way to gouge and shape the reeds. Taking into account these parameters is essential to renew the instrument making tradition.All of these meetings have allowed Fossati develop a complete range of instruments (oboes, english horns, oboes d'amore and bass oboes). Each of the instruments is tested by professional musicians, including Michel Benet, who is Oboe principal at Orchestre de Paris, tunes the Artiste model. When you take delivery of your Fossati Artiste, this is the kind of professional attention it has received, assuring its quality, intonation and reliability. Today around 20 people make more than 700 instruments a year in the Fossati factory based in Montargis (South of Paris).

Excellent school! The best of the best! They are beyond generous, loving, kind and supportive. Jesuit WILL prepare your sons for college as well as transformation into adulthood. They are top notch and there is NO other school I would have my teenage son attend. Of course there are drugs in every school; however, it starts at home. I'm sorry but you cannot blame the school for bad parenting. You have to do your job at home and not expect ANY school to raise your child. What Jesuit offers is far beyond normal academics and delves deep into moral values, character building and love for mankind. JESUIT YOU ARE THE BEST!
My eldest son graduated from Jesuit in '02. My middle child in '05. We thought it was ok. Neither of them had a great experience. There was a whole lot of pressure for them to fit into a mold. They were not allowed to be themselves and flourish into the best version of them that they could be. Our youngest son is at Jesuit now. I will be transferring him as soon as the year is up. My gut feeling with my first two kids was right. This year alone, there were nearly two dozen kids caught with street drugs during class. The pressure this school puts kids under is absurd. Do yourselves a favor and get out!
Worth every penny! My son is a senior this year. I've watched him grow from a boy into a man under the guidance of the folks at Jesuit High School. The entire staff is amazing. The education is outstanding. My son is getting offers for full rides at college because of the education he's received at Jesuit. It's a multi ethnic faith based community focusing on developing Men for Others. Even the other parents are great.
Amazing school, our son is truly cared for in both mind and spirit. The faculty and staff work along side each student and family a true partnership. I have seen amazing growth in my son over the last three years in his academics and personal life. I hope too see my next two boys attend there.
Proud parent of 2 graduates '07 & '09! Fantastic school!
What an outstanding school. I have sent my three sons to Jesuit and never regretted spending the money for their education. Each of my sons have grown to be wonderful men strongly influenced by their experience at Jesuit coupled with our family support and values. We are not a religious family but did not find Jesuit's Roman Catholic foundation to be a disraction. The results...one aeronautical engineer, one electrical engineer/computer scientist at NASA, one computer scientist/programer. More importantly, wonderful men with strong values. Men for Others. Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam.
We aren't Catholic and I had some concerns about whether our son would thrive. He came in as an average student and really benefited from the curriculum. His GPA not only rose over the four years he was there, but he became comfortable with testing, a big advantage when it came to applying for colleges. He received merit scholarship offers from three of the four schools to which he applied. It doesn't hurt to have received about 75% of the cost of his JHS education back in the form of college scholarships. Beyond the support he received for academics, he really felt cared for as a person by students and teachers. Jesuit has a philosophy of "cura personalis" -- care for the person -- and they have certainly lived up to it in our case. Having had a daughter at Davis High and son at JHS, I really recommend Jesuit.
Jesuit High School has been my home and safe haven for the past four years. Looking back, i would not be where I am today without the guidance, love, and spiritual support of the faculty, administration, and students of Jesuit High School. I will be attending UC San Diego on a merit scholarship. If you want the perfect balance of academics, spiritual development, and the development of lifelong friendships, send your son to Jesuit. I guarantee you no other public school or catholic school can compare.
Jesuit High School is currently benefitting me very well in this day and age. So far, the connection between the students as a whole (often referred to as brotherhood), is really something that I felt very much from my beginning freshman year until later on too. It is here at Jesuit that I am taking advanced classes and have fit in perfectly. While there are no girls around, which is a real downer sometimes, it also is good because there is nobody to impress and one is able to concentrate more on school work. Most of the teachers want one to succeed and are willing enough to help students achieve their desired goals. The school also greatly revolves around prayer and the religious life. My faith increases by both participating in the religious life and also by explaining my faith to non-Christians too. Jesuit really is a great well-rounded school
Jesuit High School is a very overrated school with teachers who are jokes, students who definitely aren't 'Men for Others' and an administration more focused on uniform than the actual person. My student transferred from Jesuit to public, and loves public. Not that he hated Jesuit, its just that all boys with poor teaching (not even that challenging) and odd values isn't exactly a great high school. I suggest more AP/Honors classes and less focus on sports and uniform checks. Also JUG is a joke that is given out far too often.
I have noticed in alot of the other reviews of Jesuit, that parents seem disapointed with the lack of AP/honors classes. I will admit that this is true, but at the same time, there is suposed to be more to high shcool than just trying to get that elusive 5.2 GPA. What i believe to be the greatest aspect of being a Jesuit student, is the comrodery, friendships, and life lessions that can not be taught, even at the most elete public schools. The coaches, teachers, counclers, administratesrs, and other staff are some of the greatest people you will ever meen, but at the same time, will go to no end to help you suceed in not only school, but in life. i believe that Jesuit is one of, in not the, best school in northern California.
Having two sons graduate and a third currently attending, I must say that Jesuit has benefited them more than I could have expected. The education provided, while excellent, went well beyond the books and sports by emphasizing character values, accountability and community service. Jesuit stresses growth of the whole person, not just getting into the best colleges. My sons are better people for having attended.
I graduated 2005 from this school. I loved it. At first it was an adjustment period, but you soon to just mesh with all all the students and you develop a brotherhood. I believe that this school contributed at least 40% of my personality. I'm stronger, more determined, and just straight up confident.
Jesuit is a great school academically and athletically. They strive for you to work for o others and not always think about your self. The teachers are great and they make the classes excellent and provide help for any student at any given time. The coaches are great and teach you things that most public school coaches do not show you. At my second year at Jesuit, I have played football and rugby and have encountered life- long friends. Jesuit is the best school in the Sacramento area. No doubt about it.
After doing my research, I have to say I was not impressed by Jesuit HS. I know that the Jesuit order has been very successful in the education arena but this school was a disappointment. I feel that the school has lost its way and is more focused on sports than it is on education. I do not think that these kids are leaps and bounds beyond any of the 'good' public schools. I know many parents think that the school has developed their sons to be good christians, good people, and good students. Excuse me for thinking that all these virtues should be an extension of the home and the main responsibility of the parents more so than school. Graduates are not making the cut into the top notch colleges and old-fashion traditions - one gender, latin, mandatory religion classes, lake of computer classes, and AP classes is not good.
Jesuit High School knows how to teach boys to become young men. I have three sons, one graduated, one still there and one coming in the fall. I have watched my boys grow and become confident men. Jesuit teaches things that cannot be taught through books. It will teach you to think of others and not yourself. I don't know of any AP or hnors courses that teach those things. From the 'jock' to the 'nerd' everyone finds there spot at their own pace. If you have a child that needs extra help they will provide the help that he needs. Public schools just want to see their 'scores' go up and the average kid just gets pushed through. Not a Jesuit the 'average' kid is celebrated.
The school's curriculum fits 6 classes each semester. Other public schools such as Rocklin High and Roseville High ofer 8 classes each semester. Plus, Jesuit requires Theology 9 and Theology 10 which does not count for a real class for colleges. Also, Social Justice, a class that counts for real credit brings down g.p.a. The school says it offers AP Statistics, AP Computer Science and AP Studio Art yet these classes are not extant. The school is wonderful in religion but short in academics. Only 4 students since 2000 attended Princeton University. Look into the IB program for what is best for your son. Mira Loma is ranked 236th in the nation, Jesuit did not even make the list.
Jesuit has been an excellent experience for my son. The academic challenge combined with the very energetic school spirit has exceeded my expectations. My son takes great pride in his work and athletics and also his repsonsibilty to others. No disrespect intended to nearby public schools but Jesuit delivers with excellence in all categories. I believe that the single sex invironment is especially positive in the classroom and eliminates the daily competition for attention from the girls. There is however no lack of socializing with the young ladies as they regularly attend Jesuit sports and other functions. It is simply the best!
As a student of Jesuit High School I feel I am receiving the highest education I can ask for. I have never had one regret of not going to a public school. Sure it's an all boys school but I see St. Francis and Loretto girls everyday and I feel I can concentrate without feeling nervous about embarrassing myself. My teachers are very nice and care for me 24/7. The environment is nice and the strong spirit of the high school is just undescribable. I know almost every single freshman in the freshman class and we never get in fights or argue I meet new people everyday. I am proud to be a marauder!
Jesuit is the way to go. It's an excellent school all the way around. Public schools are the pits.

Rangers: In 85 previous home openers at Madison Square Garden, the Rangers have posted a 36-33-16 record, including a 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs last season. That game against Toronto on October 27, 2011 marked the only time in the past eight home openers where the Rangers did not earn at least one point in the standings. Today's contest equals the latest date the Rangers have ever played their home opener, matching the January 20, 1995 first home game against the Buffalo Sabres.
Penguins: Pittsburgh has won seven of the last nine games it has played at Madison Square Garden, dating back to November 30, 2009. A solid road club, the Penguins already snagged two points on the road with a 3-1 victory in Philadelphia on Saturday. Last season the Penguins had the sixth-best road record in the NHL, winning 22 games and earning 48 points.

"Walk a little slower Daddy"
"Walk a little slower, Daddy!" said a little child so small.
"I'm following in your footsteps and i don't want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes they're hard to see;
So walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me.
Someday when I'm all grown up, you're what i want to be.

And i would want to lead just right, and know that i was true;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy, for i must follow you!!"

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Kentucky won't be putting a tax on food at grocery stores. The panel appointed to study tax reform rejected the proposal to tax food, saying it would be a burden on the poor.
Consultants had said a six percent tax could generate about $500 million each year.
At the meeting, members also voted to reject several other proposals, including one that would raise the coal severance tax rate, remove the property tax on airplanes, and give a tax credit to people who home-school.

By TARYN ASHERMyFox Detroit ReporterFARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (MyFox Detroit) -- Surveillance video shows a man beat a woman to the ground right in the middle of a BP gas station."My brother and I were shocked. We didn't know what was going on," said gas station owner Vince Orow.He witnessed the vicious attack Saturday evening and showed us the surveillance video that captured it all. It was allegedly sparked over road rage.Farmington Hills police say it all started when a man driving a Firebird heading north on construction filled Orchard Lake Road slammed on his brakes and cut the driver of a SUV off. She pulled into the BP near 13 Mile and the man followed.The woman and man confronted each other. The man chest bumped her, she pushed him away, but he came back for more, slamming her head several times onto the hood of a vehicle where he continued to strike the 34-year-old woman. She tried to fight back. The video shows him throw her to the ground where he punched the woman nearly a half a dozen times before a customer alerted the owners of the gas station, who immediately ran out to break it up, but the man got in one last stomp."My brother threw him off and as he threw him off, they guy stepped on her, actually kicked her, and we pushed him off, and he just jumped in the car and fled off," Orow explained.Motorists who watched it all go down followed the Firebird and called police, leading officers to the suspect, 52-year-old Steven Schut of Ohio, about two miles away in West Bloomfield. He was arrested for marijuana possession and aggravated assault.Police say there are conflicting reports about who started the fight. Schut appears to have a black eye and several scratches on his face in his mug shot."She was speechless. She was pretty much laying there helpless," Orow said. "She said, 'I thought I was going to die.' So, it was just pretty bad and she was pretty beat up."The woman was taken to the hospital and will be okay.Meanwhile, Schut plead not guilty, posted bond and we're told is back in Ohio on tether.

AAF Louisiana Members:
As you have probably heard, this morning Governor Bobby Jindal (R) released his proposal to eliminate the state income tax. In order to keep the plan revenue neutral, he proposes raising the sales tax rate to 5.88% (from 4%) and expanding the base to include many services not presently taxed.
The good news is that the plan specifically excludes advertising "buys." Unfortunately, officials at the Department of Revenue had previously told industry representatives that creative and other advertising agency services were still on the table. Until we see legislative language that specifically excludes these services, we must assume they will be subject to the tax.
The House Ways and Means Committee will be looking at the plan next week. It is very important that advertising industry contact members of the Ways and Means Committee and tell them agency services should not be taxed. Agency services are very portable and clients can easily take their business elsewhere. The proposal is a jobs bill for Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi advertising agencies. Other talking points are listed below.
You can find contact information for the Committee and other legislators on the Louisiana Legislature homepage. I urge you to contact lawmakers and express strong opposition to taxing any advertising services.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments.

GMO Labeling Gets the Federal Attention Expected
Legislation to require the Food and Drug Administration to clearly label all genetically engineered foods has been introduced in the U.S. House and Senate. The Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act was introduced by California Senator Barbara Boxer and Oregon Representative Peter DeFazio. The bill has ten co-sponsors in the Senate and nearly two-dozen co-sponsors in the House. Boxer says Americans have the right to know what is in the food they eat so they can make the best choices for their families. She says the legislation has the support of a broad coalition of consumer groups, businesses, farmers, fishermen and parents who all agree consumers deserve more information about the food they buy.
