Fire destroys home in ChittendenBy Lucia Suarez
Staff Writer | February 06,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
CHITTENDEN — Heavy dark smoke covered a single-family home on Holden Road late Wednesday morning as local firefighters worked to douse flames that had spread to the attic.
Several firefighter teams used long prods and saws to make various holes throughout the house to allow smoke to exit the house while they worked to find flames and hot spots throughout.
A firefighter on the scene said the house is a total loss.
Firefighters from five towns – Chittenden, Pittsford, Brandon, Proctor, Rutland Town and West Rutland – responded to the scene around 10 a.m.
Paul Crain, who rents the house with his girlfriend and three kids, said he had just arrived home after dropping his girlfriend off at work when he noticed the smoke.
"I came in the door and whoosh (the smoke)," he said while looking at firefighters dousing the home. "I went through the smoke and grabbed my dog and got out."
Crain said nobody was home when it started, but said the flames were coming from the basement.
As of 1:45 p.m. the cause of the fire is unknown.MORE IN This Just InTOMORROW'S HEADLINES TODAY: Update on Center Alley project, review of opiate talk evening at the library and aldermen want kids to wear helmets while riding bikes around town. 0Rutland Herald News Editor Alan Keays and staff writer Gordon Dritschilo discuss some of the...

I would like to start by saying that this is the 1st time I have ever written a review about a restaurant and that I'm sure my review will not be published because it is not a good one .
My fiance and I went into the Assaggio Rest. the other evening and sat at the bar. We ordered their fried Ravioli appetizer, one of their Pizza's along with a 1/2 carafe of wine. When the Fried Ravioli came it was in a Martini glass and the marinara sauce looked like tomato soup. We tried the Ravioli and it was very dry and was aweful tasting. The sauce was not good either. When our pizza came I was hoping it was better than the Appetizer. We took one bite of the Pizza and called the waitress over. It was unedible. We told her that we didnt care for the appetizer or the pizza. She then went and got Mauro the owner. In a very loud voice, he asked me what our problem was and I told him that we didnt care for the Fried Ravioli that is was dry and strange tasting and the Pizza tasted strange as well. He demanded to know what I didnt like about it. I told him that the entire Pizza didnt taste right. It wasnt just the Pizza dough or the cheese, or the black olives it was a bad Pizza plain and simple. Mauro then took our food putting the appetizer on top of the pizza and shoved it under the bar. He then had his waitress give us our bill. I guess this meant we had to leave. When we were handed the bill Mauro tried to charge us for the appetizer and pizza. We told our waitress that we will pay for our wine (that we only had 1 sip of) but not the food. Mauro came over and literally kicked us out! Yelling at us to get out and to never come back. Chastising us in his restaurant in front of all of his customers. I have never been treated so rudely in a restaurant expecially by THE OWNER! I am Italian myself with family in Italy and own a beautiful wine bar. I know what customers service is and what good food is all about. Mauro treated my fiance and I like dirt. I will be sure to tell all my friends and family what we had experienced in this so-called- wonderful restaurant.
Great food and fun lively atmosphere – Being from NY, we're very particular about our Italian food and often overly critical. We went here before the Ozomatli show on Saturday night and the food was tremendous! We did have to wait for about 20 minutes and the woman manning the hostess stand was less than friendly, even though we had a reservation, but ultimately it was worth it! Also it helped that the owner came around to personally apologize for the wait. We had the veal parmesan, which was so yummy and a cream pasta with Italian sausage, which I actually almost finished it was so good. We didn't make it to dessert unfortunately as we had to go, but we'll definitely be back!
Great New Happy Hour at Il Baretto! – amazing new bar and delicious new happy hour at a seattle italian favorite. drinks are cheap. the bar menu is too. best yet - assaggio doesn't skimp on quality. it's all such a great price for such delicious food. sweet potato fries - yum!
An act of kindness for our community... – Assaggio Ristorante was so kind to donate to our community auction at Harborview. They donated 4 dinner certificates and 4 autographed cook books. This donation helped us raise money which will be used to help meet the personal needs of ICU family members. Thank you Assaggio Ristorante! We adore you!
Ok food, terrible service – The food was alright, nothing spectacular. The restaurant is small so everyone is crammed together and servers are always bumping past your chairs with plates of food. The owner and hostess were nice, but we had a terrible server. She was very rude and snobby. It was clear to us that she felt that we did not belong there. When we asked her about items on the menu she sighed and spoke to us as if we were children who should have known what it was. We had another couple eating with us and asked to split the bill, but she said that she wasn't able to do it and told us to just pay the other couple cash. Terrible service. This restaurant is overrated.
Excellent Restaurant – 7/3/08 had a fabulous dinner. Seated promptly, service was excellent and the food fantantastic. When traveling years ago in Seattle we ate there and it was wonderful. Glad to see they've maintained the same high quality. They even made me pasta with vodka sauce, something no longer on their menu and it was the best! I highly recommended and will definately be back next time in Seattle!
Best Italian food outside of Italy – Assaggio is an amazing restaurant. From the moment we arrived, we received excellent customer service and felt like we were eating at a friend's house. After each course was brought out, either our waiter or the owner would verify that we were satisfied with our food, which of course we were. The dishes were delicious and I'm not sure that it's possible to find better food in Seattle. Be sure to save room for dessert, they are unexpectedly flavorful and definitely underpriced. The food alone makes Assaggio worth visiting, but add in the outstanding customer service and you won't find a better Italian restaurant outside of Italy!
Italy in Seattle – I have never written an online review about anything but having read the reviews on this site then enjoying a wonderful meat at this restaurant I became so upset about some of the nasty things some "reviewers" had said, am compelled to add my perspective--the service was impeccable, the food delicious, and Mauro, the owner, a perfect gentleman and host. All four of us thought each of our meals was excellent including tasting each other's.
All I can say is: if you can't go to Italy, go to Assaggio.
We almost did not go due to the reviews on this site...but GO, it is EXCELLENT. Our new Fav Italian place in Seattle! – I have now decided that the negative reviews on MANY restaurants on this site are unwarranted. My husband and I get out once a month for dinner while my parents watch our baby, so you can imagine, 'date night' is a bit precious for us. Finding the right place for that one night out is a big deal. I had been there once a few years ago, but after reading reviews on this site and thought, "Wow, it must have gone downhill."
With a 5 month old baby, I really don't have any time at all to write restaurant reviews, but after going there I felt that this place has some pretty unfavorable reviews and I should do my part to help rectify that! My husband and I were married in Italy and absolutely love Italian food. Our previous favorite had been La Spiga (which is still excellent, we just miss the old, smaller space on Broadway). Assaggio is definitely "our new favorite" place to go.
Assaggio is like walking into a restaurant in the heart of Florence (except a lot of those places play American pop music vs. charming Italian music like Assaggio). The atmosphere is romantic and warm. The owner is a very friendly and very Italian guy who certainly adds to the charm.
The food was EXCELLENT. The hardest part was trying to decide what to order as everything sounded so good. We ended up sharing a salad and a pasta (both were outstanding --- the pear and greens salad and the pancetta, pea and gorgonzola pasta). We then each had a meat dish (we splurged and it is pre-diet season!). I LOVED the chicken dish and my husband had veal (I would never eat veal so we did not share that one..!). He thought it was very good.
We finished off with coffees that were perfection and the tiramisu (sp) (not as good as we have had in Italy, but decent). We also shared a fabulous Barberesco wine which was **outstanding**. We can't wait to go back!!!
Great Place Great Food – My boyfriend and I came here for our 1 year anniversary and it was excellent. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and sat and the food from beginning to end was absolutely wonderful. The service was fabulous and I absolutely loved how the owner of the restaurant hangs around and greets people and talks to them. I felt very comfortable and was extremely happy. Definitely coming back to this place.

It was unthinkable. It was irresponsible. It was...
Sophia Armitage was a friend, indeed. She had agreed to help Sir Nathaniel Gascoigne find a husband for his cousin Lavinia in the glittering city of London—only half hoping that she'd find one for herself. Sophia knew the odds were against her. Men simply did not seem to be attracted to her—not in that way. Even her late husband had treated Sophia more as a companion than a lover. But then something shocking happened in London—Sophia found herself in the arms of Nathaniel himself! Not only did this act of indiscretion threaten their lifelong friendship, it revealed a depth of passion that defied everything Sophia believed about herself...

The drunk driver who hurt Mia and killed Dell is persona non grata at a lot of places, but he's especially not welcome at Oceanside Wellness. Nevertheless, the man walks through the front door begging forgiveness for the pain he's caused. The guy barely has time get out an apology before Sam is choking the life out of him. Soon the man is going into cardiac arrest. Later, Sam screams, "Some things don't deserve to be forgiven!"
We flashback to Sam's first solo heart surgery many years ago. The patient is a schoolteacher who believes he's going to die. He wants to unburden himself from a secret he's been keeping. The ailing teacher admits to Sam that he's a pedophile moments before being wheeled into the OR.

Emily Wickersham Promoted to NCIS Series Regular, Will Debut as Bishop This Monthby Steve Marsi at . Updated at .
Emily Wickersham is joining NCIS full-time two weeks from tomorrow.
The actress, who was cast as NSA analyst Eleanor "Ellie" Bishop before the season premiere in September, has already been promoted to a series regular, CBS announced today.
Wickersham was originally slated for three episodes, but according to NCIS producers, her work with the team proved a success and they made her role permanent.
"Emily Wickersham's Ellie Bishop is proving to perfectly compliment the NCIS team," said executive producer Gary Glasberg in a statement. "Her energy and enthusiasm is contagious."
"Great things are planned for Bishop and we couldn't be more thrilled to have her on-board."
In September, when the actress was cast in the role and Glasberg disclosed that Wickersham "could" become a series regular down the line, he added that his intention wasn't to "replace" Ziva.
However, "I can introduce a character who is unique and quirky and fun, and hopefully people will embrace her and feel like she is a new element to this group and a new part of moving it forward."
Wickersham, whose first episode airs November 19, fills an empty series regular spot on the show that has been there since the second episode of the current season.
Cote de Pablo's exit has been a focal point of NCIS Season 11 so far. Even though she only appeared on one installment this fall, her sudden departure has been a lingering factor.
Michael Weatherly, whose character Tony has been most impacted by Ziva's departure, tells EW, "We're excited about having Emily join us on these little adventures we do every week."
"Seeing how she is in the world that we create together," Weatherly added, has been a success from the start. "I hope the audience likes her as much as we did right away."
CBS describes Bishop as "a mysterious mixture of analytic brilliance, fierce determination and idealism who specializes in international threat assessment and global preparation."
She'll be introduced "when it is discovered the Secretary of the Navy was bugged during a confidential briefing, a security breach Bishop described in exact detail two years ago in a threat analysis report."
"Working side-by-side with Gibbs and the team," the release states, "Bishop cross-examines the case file to help determine who is behind the crime."

There is no other show like NCIS. They keep moving the stories along without a hitch. I think the writers are exceptional but their actors and actresses just cannot be topped. I just love this program like no other. To wait for Tuesday night as I do tells all my friends one sure thing--I am delightfully fixed and will NOT miss an episode. What writers!!! Bravo to the whole crew.
Ellie Bishop stole every single scean she was in. She is PERFECT, fresh, and an instant fit to the team. We will always miss Cote, but Ellie Bishop's is so bright, competent, and quiky, I can't wait to see what she does next. I've watched the show from the beginning and I have never been so excited to see when the show goes from here. She's a breath of fresh air AND she's also not perfect. Can't wait for Tues. nights from now own. Great choice!
I'm sure there were many fans who felt devastated at the end of Season 2 when Sasha Alexander left. However, Cote de Pablo is an excellent actress and fitted the part of Ziva so well. The exchanges were great between her and Tony. Time must go on. Let's give Emily Wickersham a chance to see what she can do.

I really enjoyed this scent. It's like nothing I've found before in a cologne. I highly recommend this product and am looking forward to purchasing it for myself.
Received in my February Birchbox. Not my favorite scent and probably would not have purchased, because it is not as masculine as I would typically wear.
I noticed a lot of folks commented on the price. Let's get that out of the way first. This is an eau de parfum from a niche fragrance line. This type of fragrance is normally never under one-hundred dollars, but you do get what you pay for. It is concentrated, has great silage, and is blended from quality ingredients. It smells very natural. I love the play between the violet and the leather; I feel that these two ingredients in particular play back and forth throughout the day. Unlike a lot of leather scents, this one is softer, more evocative and less literal. Aleksandr Pushkin, the Russian poet for whom Aleksandr is named, is a national hero in Russia. In his short life, he had love affairs, attended the best parties, wrote poetry like a rock star, and went out of this world in a duel. I can't think of anything sexier than that. Buy this now! Light enough to wear to work every day, versatile enough for summer, spring, winter, or fall, and sophisticated enough for a black-tie affair. Get this, and you will get noticed.
The smell was great, just a bit too pricey. Love the samples though so I can see what to purchase next.
Great scent. All aforementioned descriptions are pretty accurate. Only problem is that this has to be one of the more expensive bottles (of any cologne) to purchase. They have priced themselves out of my interest - and clearly others too feel the same.
I don't typically wear colognes, and this was definitely not typically what i would wear if I did, but I found the scent pleasantly intriguing and will definitely give it a shot when I do decide to put a slash on. It was a little citrusy and sweet, but not too much so, and it still was mildly masculine. I would most definitely not pay for a full bottle, but I'm happy with the sample.
The smell of this fragrance was unlike any I've ever tried. It was almost the smell of what fire would smell like, not burning, just heat. In any event, I applied a dab to each wrist and felt as if it wasn't noticeable enough so I had to put a little more on. It's definitely subtle. This supposedly is unisex, but I can't imagine a woman liking the "fiery" smell I mentioned. I have smelled better fragrances and for the price I would choose something else.
I got this sample for my boyfriend and i have to say the scent is wonderful but im not to happy with the price.
Cologne is nice, they all smell good but not really a difference maker here. Its got a nice wintry touch I suppose but not enough here to change my daily.
with the sweet scent of powdery latex gloves and Sensidine, as well as a scent of a Bob Evans Restaurant and their patronage during a dinner rush on the hottest day of the summer in New Orleans. Wow. Just picture that for a minute. Sweaty, fat, old people, and old people products all mixed together and finely packaged so arquistely.

Eva Mendes2 of 8
This bombshell actress recently shared with a magazine the importance of celebrating one's unique look. "One of the benefits of having a big smile and big teeth is that if you just smile you can look happy," she said. We love this positive outlook on flaunting what you've got.
Elizabeth Banks3 of 8
In celebrating-your-looks news, this super-funny actress is putting her blond tresses and pixie nose to perfect use: She's just been tapped to play Tinkerbell in a live-action movie about the feisty Peter Pan character. We can't wait to watch!
Mae Jemison4 of 8
In 1992, Mae became the world's first woman of color to go into space. Now, she is sharing her smarts in order to create opportunities for young women and minorities to follow in her footsteps as the spokeswoman for Bayer Corp.'s Making Science Make Sense program. (Oh, and she's also a former Peace Corps volunteer, doctor and dancer.)
Joan Rivers5 of 8
We can't help but love Joan Rivers: She's funny, blunt and just plain fabulous. And she's reportedly letting the world get a real glimpse of her and her daughter Melissa in a new reality show about their lives. We'll be watching ... with a cocktail in hand.
Caster Semenya6 of 8
Almost a year ago, this female runner's gender was put into question — erupting a sports scandal of epic proportions. We don't know if we'd be strong enough to return to the track after such a fiasco, as Caster did this week, and we admire her for getting back out there and doing what she loves. She gets a well-deserved "you go, girl" from us.
Liz Phair7 of 8
The singer recently released a new album that 100% reflects her. She told New York magazine: "These songs and the ones coming next: These are all me. Love them, or hate them, but don't mistake them for anything other than an entirely personal, un-tethered-from-the-machine, free for all view of the world, refracted through my own crazy lens." Love it.
Jill Johnson8 of 8
What happens when a photojournalist quits her job to just do something she loves? If she's Jill Johnson, she takes pictures of cats in wigs — and gets 'em into a book written by her pal Julie Jackson. We're totally obsessed.

The last day of the ski season is upon us. Days are getting longer. Spring is in the air. The 2013 Major League Baseball season is underway. It's usually around this time of year that I offer you a load of B.S. and tell you that the Colorado Rockies are going to be really good this year, that they are contenders for the National League pennant.
Call me crazy, an eternal optimist or just plain stupid, but this year is no different. The Colorado Rockies are going to finish the season as the National League's best team and once again have a shot at winning a World Series. Things are different this year, and I like our chances.
Perhaps the biggest difference this year, in comparison to the past few years, is that the Rockies are picked to be dead last in the National League West, maybe even the entire National League. There is absolutely no hype about a successful Rockies season. Everybody in the sports talk world has already thrown the Rockies in the National League cellar. And who can blame them?
Last year's pitching rotation was baseball's worst, and the way things are lining up this year, there seem to be few changes. The lack of offseason improvements to the Rockies pitching staff doesn't evoke a feeling of confidence. Hell, even Rockies owner Dick Monfort isn't very optimistic about the upcoming season.
"I'm always optimistic, so that's scary," Monfort told The Denver Post. "But, you know, our starting pitching is going to be a work in progress. I feel good with our bullpen and I think we are going to be good offensively. I was good with it last year, too, and we lost 98 games. So we'll see."
So here we are once again, back in that all-too-familiar rut of having great hitting and no pitching. It's been the Rockies mantra for 17 out of its 20 seasons of existence. Once again the question will be, can the Rockies' offense keep up with the blunders of the Rockies' pitching?
So far the starting rotation looks like it's right-hander Jhoulys Chacin, who had an effective Opening Day start on Monday, lefty Jorge De La Rosa, righty Juan Nicasio and lefty Jeff Francis. The Rockies biggest hopes lie in Nicasio and Francis, who had impressive spring trainings. If they can get out of innings one and two without giving up too many runs, they can find a groove to finish strong – pretty much like any pitcher working the mound in the majors.
If the starting rotation doesn't garner much positive attention, maybe the Rockies' bullpen will? Rafael Betancourt will be the closer alongside situational relievers Wilton Lopez, Matt Belisle and Rex Brothers. Manager Walt Weiss told The Post that those guys can match up with anyone in baseball, but when it comes to middle relief, that's where a huge question mark lies. It remains to be seen if Edgmer Escalona, Wilton Lopez, Adam Ottavino and Chris Volstad will get the outs needed to keep a game close.
If it isn't the starting rotation that will hurt the Rockies, it will be the bullpen that will hurt the Rockies. That was apparent in the Opening Day, extra inning loss against the Brewers.
Surprisingly, Chacin provided a solid start for the Rockies by pitching into the seventh inning and allowing only one run on three hits. He had control of the game. When he left it to the bullpen, everything went wrong. In the eighth inning, Lopez surrendered the Rockies' 3-1 advantage, giving the Brewers a 4-3 lead. Later in the game, Dexter Fowler was able to tie the game in the ninth with a solo homerun to right field.
In the 10th inning, though, the Rockies couldn't produce any offense and Ottavino ended up hitting a batter. That combined with two walks and a sacrifice fly, gave the game to the Brewers.
It was exciting baseball. Great Opening Day theatrics. Unfortunately, the Rockies came up short. What's more unfortunate is that the game represents the kind of loss the Rockies will probably see time and time again this year. Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez led an impressive Rockies offensive charge but in the end, the offense could not keep up with the shortfalls of the pitching.
Of course, another Rockies season in the cellar will be a bummer for us fans. Perhaps the worst scenario that could come of that is that either Tulowitzki or Gonzalez or both could look to move to other teams because, well, they aren't getting any younger. Another losing season could mean the Rockies could lose the one positive thing they have, a great lineup with great bats.
So there seems to be a lot riding on this season. The Rockies have to find a way to win in a division that has the San Francisco Giants, who have won two World Series in the past three years, and the Los Angeles Dodgers. And the Dodgers, with the way its ownership group is throwing money around, is the new New York Yankees.
Things are tough all over for the Colorado Rockies. Who knows how Weiss, who is in his first year ever as a manager and has only a one-year contract, will handle the pressure. All of this could be the perfect storm leading to another 100-loss season.
So that's why I am so excited about the Rockies this year. They have no hope. And that gives me hope. In the past, we've expected great things out of the Rockies and in most instances we've been left disappointed. This year there are no expectations for the Rockies to be good.
Maybe, just maybe, surprise is on the horizon.

Mandriva 2010.0: Faster and More Stable
The new Mandriva 2010.0 has been ready for download since yesterday. After a month's delay, the French distributor has released the current version, code-named Adelie, for free. Some important changes were made.
Most of the changes to the Mandriva release are on the project wiki. Immediately noticeable are the visuals: it now uses Plymouth software for bootsplash. The wallpaper designs were created as the result of a competition. Mandriva 2010.0 boots markedly faster and integrates a complete Moblin environment so that it can run well on netbooks. It also includes Sugar, the desktop created for the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) program. Users surf using Firefox 3.5 and create text and calculations with OpenOffice.org 3.1.1. Mandriva is based on X.org 7.4 and the Intel graphics chips should perform better thanks to DRI2 and UXA architecture.
The desktop environments are KDE 4.3 and GNOME 2.28. Data can migrate from KDE 3 to KDE 4 and integration with the Nepomuk semantic desktop was taken a step further. Activities can be tied to virtual desktops. KDE 4.3 includes Amarok 2.2, Digikam 1.0 beta5 and Skrooge, which replaces (and can import data from) the unstable Kmymoney2. Phonon integration with PulseAudio is also now tighter.
The GNOME environment now allows webcam sessions and live streaming. Tomboy notes are also synchronizable with the Snowy web service. The Pitivi video editor was updated to 0.13.0, and Empathy replaces Pidgin as the default and supports audio-visual chats.
The Elisa multimedia center was renamed Moovida and "includes a brand new graphical user interface." Other changes include the Phoronix test suite with which users can benchmark their Linux system. Guest systems run best on the Mandriva-supported Virtual Box 3.0.8, which also supports OpenGL. The included Wine 1.1.32 Windows runtime environment has performance improvements and better DirectX 10 support. Developers also improved Bluetooth device support and the GNOME power manager now services laptops with multiple batteries.
Mandriva downloads are installable as 32-bit and 64-bit versions from DVD. A dual-arch CD contains a minimal system installable over the web, while the One edition is a LiveCD with KDE or GNOME as the desktop.
Lovin' 2010.0I've been using Mandriva 2010.0 for that couple of days (using 2009.1 before that) and I'm very impressed. Mandriva has my vote as the best Linux distro for those people who like things to "just work."

Does the Fourteenth Amendment require states to recognize same-sex marriages? A recent California federal district court case said that it does. Now the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is taking up the question, and the U.S. Supreme Court might do so in the near future, too. Our panel of experts will consider what the Constitution requires with respect to this controversial issue.

Hi guys,
I've been using the anySim unlock program.
My problem is:
I unlock it just fine, however, at there very end I get the message:
"Incorrect Sim: Please connect to iTunes to reactivate iPhone"
From there, I simply open wiNstaller GUI and click on "active" and it works just fine
see picture below:
But I would MUCH rather not have to do this, because for example, if I want to swap out the sim with an other sim from a different carrier, I would have to go back to wiNstallerGUI. I want to be able to give the phone to a family/friend abroad for them to use, and considering they are not computer savvy whatsoever --it'll be much better if they can simply insert their sim and have the phone work.
Anyone know how I can surpass the wiNstallerGUI process after unlovkcing the phone?

Aguadilla - The Garden City
Aguadilla was founded in 1775 by Luis de Cordova. It is also known as La Villa de Ojo de Agua, which means village of the eye of water. Aguadilla is best known for its high peaks, beaches, surfing and for their traditional bobbin lace making. Aguadilla has a few awesome surf spots that include Crash Boat, which is famous for its clear waters, Gas Chambers, and Wilderness.
Aguadilla is also home to the Caribbean's biggest modern aquatic theme park, La Cascadas, which offers a beautiful view of the town's bay and the nearby Desecheo islet. Another big tourist attraction in Aguadilla is the Ojo de Agua (the water eye), which is an underground fresh water source that was used by the Aguadilla harbor in times of the Spanish Occupation.
Aguadilla has a thriving harbor and airport, which makes the processing and trading of mostly sugar, coffee, fruits, tobacco, and cotton much easier and more convenient. Aguadilla also boasts the Punta Borinquen Lighthouse. This striking structure was built in 1889 and it has been designated a historic site worthy of preservation by the National Register of Historical Places.
Whether it is surfing or sightseeing you aim to do on your holiday, Aguadilla has all the facilities to ensure you of a holiday you will never forget. It is also a mere 2.5 hours drive from San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico.

Que hermosa isla. Mi familia y yo vamos todos los anos y disfrutamos un monton. Mi ciudad favorita es Aguadilla por su hermosa y cristalina playa. Ademas; nos encanta montar a caballos, las frituras son sabrosas y las frutas en las carreteras son para chuparse los dedos. El ano pasado recorrimos toda la isla, comenzamos desde San Juan, Aguadilla y fuimos a Viequez; hermosisimo y bello. Que Dios bendiga la hermana Isla de Borinquen

|Media Advisory, An End to Cervical Cancer—the Time is Now
Cervical cancer is the number-one cancer killer of women worldwide, taking 270,000 lives each year. More than 37,000 of those deaths occur in Latin America and the Caribbean.
WHAT: The Alliance for Cervical Cancer Prevention, of which the Pan American Health Organization is a member, invites media representatives and the general public to an expert panel discussion on cervical cancer, as part of a series of events in observance of International Women's Day. The panel will explore the use of novel approaches to cancer screening in combination with new human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccines to drastically reduce cervical cancer deaths worldwide.
WHEN: Wednesday, March 5, 8:30 to 11 a.m. (breakfast will be served)
WHERE: Goethe Institute, 812 Seventh St., N.W. (between 7th and I streets), in Washington, D.C. (Less than a block from the Chinatown Gate – Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro stop, red, yellow or green lines)
WHO: Confirmed speakers include:
WHY: Women in developing countries bear the brunt of the burden of cervical cancer, with 85 percent of deaths due to this disease occurring in poor countries that lack adequate cancer screening and treatment programs. This contrasts starkly with the United States, Europe, and Australia, where cervical cancer rates have dropped dramatically over the past 40 years.
The world now has an extraordinary opportunity to reduce the burden of cervical cancer with simple screening methods that detect the early stages of disease, when treatment is most effective, and with innovative new technologies, including low-cost DNA screening and vaccines that protect young women early in life.
"Fortunately, every day more instruments for lowering the incidence of cervical cancer are becoming available. However, we must raise awareness and build the necessary consensus to effectively utilize these instruments, coordinating the efforts of governments, public health facilities, the private sector, families, and the population at large. We know that cervical cancer is significantly exacerbated by social and economic inequalities, adversely impacting indigenous, poor and rural women."
PAHO Director, Dr. Mirta Roses
PAHO, founded in 1902, works with all the countries of the Americas to improve the health and quality of life of their peoples. It also serves as the Regional Office for the Americas of the World Health Organization.

I love recording my out of the box mixes back in through my Apollo 16 printing the Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder Plug-In to the final mix. It sounds so much more like the records I grew up on.
I test it also for a personal remastering of an ultra famous 70's record that I own in HD quality files (176.4kHz/24bit), originally recorded in analog tape machines obviously, and the result was absolute stunning as on digital sources!
This plugin kicks ass. Great on individual channels and awesome on master bus.
It`s actually hard for me to believe this plug-in exists...Having gone through the analog tape era and now the digital DAW era the fact that UA has gotten the vibe of analog tape in a plug-in is more than I could have wanted.
This plug adds a certain unexplained magic to either a master stereo buss or can be used to change the personality of individual instruments, vocals etc...The presets are extremely usable and simply changing the formulation of the tape and tape speed can yield great results. You do need to watch levels going in to the ampex..but not a problem.
Without any hesitation, it gets 5 stars from this user. Thank you UA !!!
PS, I`m finding that setting it up as the next to last in the signal chain works the best so far.
Absolute legend of a Plugin!
I can use this in so many contexts, it has the ability to add that gentle crisp sheen to the top frequencies (in my case to match that 70s vinyl prog rock vibe), or to give some subtle drive to guitars / keys.
Across all tracks and the master buss you get a superb "glue" to the entire mix.
I just drove a signal into this very hard and it poops diamonds out. Shockingly awesome. Coats bass driven music in a fine velvet sheen. :) - I might have to date this plug.
I decided to purchased the UAD-2 Satellite Duo and among a lot of interesting offered plug-ins,I decided to purchase the Ampex ATR-102.Since my main work is Matering Disc related,I was impressed with the final sound processed. My laptop,a MacBook has not presented any issues related while I was hearing the final mix with Pro-Tools 8.0 in my home Studio.
Thanks Universal Audio for the excellence !
Since purchasing the Ampex ATR -102 it has been a part of my mastering chain. I have been mastering since 1991 and I have never purchased a device or plug-in that has made such a difference. The character that it adds to a master is obvious to the trained ear because we know what to listen for. The true test was with my clients who has chosen the master with the Ampex ATR-102 as part of my mastering chain, every single time. I'm a believer. A good Mastering Engineer knows how to utilize the best in both digital and analog platforms . We have to make choices based on what is needed for that particular song or project. It is rare to find something that everyone agrees sounds awesome . THANKS UA.!! IGIT Mastering Studio
You know how it goes: new plugin, you feel you have to use it on everything. After the honeymoon is over, you start to realize that not every project needs your new toy.
But I'm telling you right now, the UAD ATR-102 is different. This DOES work with every project, and it DOES make everything sound better. Unlike a lot of other tape simulation plugs that I have used on mixes this one always seems to be the right choice, it seems to add dimension and weight to mixes as opposed to just throwing another "color" onto them. It's true, the Ampex makes my mixes sound like a record; 3D, smooth, but punchy and just oozing with character. The ATR-102 is now a permanent staple in my mixes, it's a total game changer.
The ATR-102 is that huge extra gain at the end of a great mix. I slap it on the 2 buss, turn to look at the clients face, and wait for the jaw to drop. Happens every time. The low end bump, high end clarity, and widening effect just makes it sound right every time. Need a little taming off the top of an ITB mix, just roll the HF screw back a bit and pure analog goodness ensues. Need a little more warmth......, hit the G9 tape roll and get ready for thick city. I pretty much use it on anything, because without it, it just don't have the kick ass factor. I'm not a fanboy for out of the box or in the box discussion. I just know that whatever this is doing, it is making my job easier, and my mixes better.
I checked the 14-days-demo-version, just for fun.
That was a "mistake", because i was addicted immediately.

I checked the 14-days-demo-version, just for fun.
That was a "mistake", because i was addicted immediately.
I've been using Nebula tape sims for a while and I totally failed to demo the UAD Ampex because I figured that I had enough "subtle" tape sims. And of course the Ampex *can* be subtle but it can also be quite obvious. More so and more pleasingly than the UAD Studer (in my opinion). I use the Studer, the Ampex and Nebula now. Not always all of them on all projects but if I had to choose to keep just one of the three it would definitely be the Ampex.
every time i delude myself into thinking that UA just couldn't make a better plugin, they make a fool out of me. this is the analog-style plugin we've all been waiting for. play around with it for a while and you get 100+ variables and endless possibilities. but simply turning it ON makes a difference that is nothing short of miraculous. I own a Studer A80 2-track tape machine in my studio, but i don't need to run my mix through it nearly as much as i used to. This new UAD Ampex plugin sounds better. plain and simple. i'm thrilled to death over this one and the Studer A-800 plugin, and i'm scared to sh*tless to see what the team at UA dreams up next. Rock on, boys & girls!
It took me less than 1 minute to love this great analog sounding tape plugin. I compared to the Studer A800 plug, and this one is far better for my use. I love the warmth of this plugin, it 'glues' my mixes amazingly, and I could not master without it. The bass rounds out nicely, adds subtle punch, provides subtle compression, and adds a sheen that I get from my Neve gear. One of the best UAD plugins ever.
I never had the chance of using an analog tape machine, I´m from the new generation, but with this plug in now I understand what the people said about the magic of the old tapes. Im in love with the plugin, everything sounds biger and warmer
The missing link in the chain.
It's a new feat from Universal Audio, after the Studer A800.
I love it.
That's it. Just buy it. :)
This is just filler to reach the 50 character minimum. :)
OK , now the critique.
I own an ATR 102. I have 1/4" and 1/2" heads. I have removed the input transformers.
I have replaced the 1/2" record head with SAKi.Other changes done as well and yet, the machine sits in my garage unused. I decided to review this plug first because I'm basically lazy and don't have the energy to move the machine upstairs to my work room here in Wisconsin where I have moved from LA.
I'm still in the middle of the road as far as a decision although I plan to eventually buy this and likely the Studer plug.
ATR Bias needs work. Bias sounds harsh and not silky like the real machine. I would provide easier to control pots and a Bias meter with easy controls. Pots to small/sensitive
Make bias tone silky like machine.
I've wanted this plug-in ever since it became available! I demoed it and fell in love with it immediately. Matter of fact I put off all my mixing and mastering jobs for four months until I finally bought it. I don't know what else to say to describe exactly how much I needed this tool in my arsenal. There are only a few other key pieces of hardware that I will add to my setup to push my sound to where I want it but as far as software goes, this is one of my final additions and it took my sound one step closer to perfection. Just thought I'd mention that I'm an owner of plenty of mixing and mastering tools; Waves Gold bundle and many singles and Ozone 4 as well as good monitoring equipment, a UA 6176,a Big Ben, but this was still VERY needed

Common Questions about Utility Billing
Do you have questions about your City of Raleigh utility account, or how your utility services are billed?
Since many customers share the same questions, the most common questions and answers are listed here to assist you.
If you don't find the answer to your question, check out other sections of this website or contact a Utility Billing Account Manager by email or call 919-890-3245 Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm.
Will the City of Raleigh increase utility rates this year?
Yes, utility rate changes were adopted to be effective with bills issued on or after July 1, 2013. For more details, go to the Rates, Deposits & Fees web page.
What is the billing cycle and how long do I have to pay my bill?
The billing cycle is monthly for all customers.
Payments are due 20 days from the bill date.
What if I need more time to pay my bill?
Contact a Utility Billing Account Manager at 919-890-3245 (Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm) and ask if your account is eligible for a Payment Plan.
Was my bill calculated using an actual or an estimated meter reading?
On rare occasions, a meter reading used to calculate a monthly utility bill is an estimated reading. If your bill contains an estimated reading, it will be indicated with an "E" printed next to the reading that is an estimate.
How do I sign up for E-Billing?
Sign up for E-Billing by registering through the Utility Billing Web Self Service site. Paperless billing provides an electronic version of your utility bill and is an exact replica of your paper bill. Each month when your bill is ready to be viewed, you will receive a notification email.
Can I pay my bill online or by phone?
Yes, you can make a utility payment using Visa or MasterCard online or by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
These payments are applied to your account real time and are convenient for most customers.
The City of Raleigh does not add any additional credit card fees to process these payments.
Can I have my utility bill paid directly out of my bank account each month?
Yes. Our AutoPay option does just that. Go to Make a Utility Payment to learn more, or if you are ready to get started just fill out and submit the AutoPay Bank Draft Authorization form.
Is there a fee for requesting new service?
When establishing a new account, a $50.00 Service Initiation fee will be assessed for each address and each meter.
The Service Initiation Fee is waived for landlords who have registered the property with Utility Billing's Landlord Program. Note: The Landlord Authorization Form must be submitted prior to the establishment of the account in order to have the $50.00 Service Initiation fee waived.
Do I need to stop my utilities account when I move away?
Yes. If you are planning to move, remember to stop your City of Raleigh utilities account. Submit the Stop Service & Request Final Billing form, or notify a Utility Billing Account Manager by email or call 919-890-3245 (Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm) with the date you want your services stopped and your new mailing address. This will ensure that your final bill is processed correctly and that your account will be closed. If you don't contact Utility Billing, you could be responsible for paying the utility bills at your old address until a new account is initiated by a new resident or owner.
Why would the City of Raleigh need a copy of my lease, deed, or any other type of documents related to residency?
The City of Raleigh may ask for these types of items to ensure accurate billing for the previous customers and for the new occupants of a residence.
Why am I being charged a late fee and how is it calculated?
A late fee of $5.00 or 1.5% of the past due amount (whichever is greater) is applied to any account with a past due balance. An account with a past due amount is also subject to disconnection of water or waste water (sewer) services.
To avoid late fees and service disruptions, be sure to pay the total amount due on or before the due date.
Why did I receive a service disconnection notice or a door hanger?
A service disconnection notice is a courtesy notification for accounts that are past due or delinquent.
A door hanger may be left at the premise location if a trip has been made to disconnect services for nonpayment.
If services are interrupted, additional fees may be applied.
What do I do if my services are interrupted for nonpayment?
You will be required to pay your FULL past due balance. Payment must be made prior to reconnection of services (Municipal Code Sec 2-3004).
Visa or MasterCard payments can be made online or by calling Utility Billing's automated voice response system at 919-890-3245. These payment methods post to your account in real time and are convenient for most customers. The City of Raleigh does not add any additional credit card fees to process these payments.
In addition, you can pay in person at any of our Official Payment Locations.
Every attempt will be made to reinstate services within 24 hours of receipt of payment.
Ensure that all faucets are turned off and stoppers in sinks and tubs are open prior to service reconnection to prevent accidental flooding.
Where are the Official Payment Locations?
Cash payments must be made in person at any Official Payment Location.
The Official Payment Locations accept payments by cash, check, money order, Visa or MasterCard.
*Locations not listed are NOT AUTHORIZED. If you pay at an unauthorized location, you may be charged a handling fee and your payment could be delayed several days or weeks.
What happens if my payment is returned by the bank?
The payment will be reversed off of your account, and a returned payment fee will be included in your next bill. Also, your credit rating with Utility Billing will be negatively affected.
Multiple returned payments will result in payment restrictions that require future payments to be made by other secured methods such as credit card, certified check, money order, or cash.
If the returned payment was made to restore disconnected services, upon notification by the bank of the return the City of Raleigh may disconnect your water or waste water (sewer) services immediately.
For more information, see the About Returned Payments section.
The utility account is in the name of a person who is now deceased. Does this need to be changed?
Yes. The account holder must be the responsible party (i.e., the surviving spouse or descendant, an estate or trust, etc.). Contact a Utility Billing Account Manager by email or call 919-890-3245 (Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm) to assist you with changing the account.
For more details, see the Name Changes section.
Can I reference the City of Raleigh's ordinances that govern utility services and payments?
For your reference, the City's ordinances can be found at the City of Raleigh Code of General Ordinances.
Can I get an adjustment to my water bill if I had a leak on my property?
Yes, under certain conditions water leak adjustments may be made for leaks that have been repaired, or for exceptional unexplained increases in consumption that have been validated by a plumber and/or Public Utilities Meter Operations staff. A leak adjustment may occur only after a leak has been repaired and may require a verified meter read by the City of Raleigh's Public Utilities Department. Administrative fees will not be adjusted. Leak adjustments will cover no more than a two-month consecutive period. Only one financial adjustment associated to billed usage will be allowed every two years per premise.
Water leak adjustments must be requested by contacting the Utility Billing Division and be accompanied by a plumber's receipt or other proof of repair. An exceptional unexplained increase in usage must be verified. A determination is made and a letter is sent to the mailing address on file within the billing system stating approval or disapproval of the leak and the details.
Contact Utility Billing to determine if you qualify for a leak adjustment.
What circumstances will cause a water leak adjustment request to be denied?
No adjustments will be granted where the following situations exist:
- Usage above the customer's average monthly consumption is due to seasonal usage such as watering of sod, gardening, filling swimming pools or whirlpools, washing vehicles, etc.
- Leak was caused by a third party from whom the customer is able to recover their costs. Examples include, but are not limited to, theft, vandalism, and construction damage, unoccupied or vacant properties.
- Leak continues for three (3) or more months
- The meter at said property, has been accessed, tampered with, or turned on/off by anyone (including a licensed plumber) other than a City of Raleigh employee and resulting in further loss of water.
Contact Utility Billing to determine if you qualify for a leak adjustment.
What is tiered billing?
Tiered billing is a method of billing that rewards customers for lower consumption.
Rates are calculated using average consumption figures across the service area and customers are charged more or less, as they move from tier to tier.
If I use 5 CCF's of water, is all of the consumption billed at Tier 2?
The first 4 CCF's are billed at the Tier 1 rate and the 5th CCF is billed at the Tier 2 rate.Rates, Deposits & Fees
Is irrigation billed in tiers?
All consumption on irrigation meters is billed at the Tier 3 rate.
If my meter is read late or the billing period is longer than 30 days, will my consumption be billed in the next tier?
The billing system automatically bills consumption at the proper tiers if there is additional consumption due to a bill cycle greater than 33 days.
The system will adjust the tiers and prorate the calculations accordingly.
Who can I contact for questions not answered here?
Utility Billing Services handles billing and billing services. All other issues, like discolored water, main breaks, low water pressure, impervious surface calculations, etc. will be addressed by one of the following:
- For more information regarding Public Utilities Administration, Water Plant, Wastewater Treatment Plants, Reuse, Constructions, Sewer Maintenance, Water Distribution, Meters and Warehouse, visit Public Utilities.
- Questions concerning permit fees for installation of water lines for new construction should be directed to the Inspections Department.
- For more information regarding stormwater fees, see Stormwater Utility Fee.

RUGBY UNION: Chinnor coaches in the bin (From Bicester Advertiser)
When It Happens Panel Get involved: send your photos, videos, news & views by texting 'OXFORD NEWS' to 80360 or email
RUGBY UNION: Chinnor coaches in the bin
7:00am Tuesday 24th December 2013 in Sport
CHINNOR coaches Matt Goode and Andrew Smith were both shown yellow cards as their side went down 38-0 away to lowly Dings Crusaders.
It was one to forget for Chinnor, who trailed 28-0 at the break after tries from James Holcombe (2) and Sam Cox.
