TTP LabTech's LAB2LAB offers you a virtual analysis laboratory on your bench-top. It is a novel laboratory sample transport and scheduling system which returns the results of analysis direct to your ELN to increase the speed of data generation. LAB2LAB links the lab bench directly to existing analytical instrumentation in other laboratories in order to optimise analysis times and maximise equipment usage.
LAB2LAB allows you to send samples for analysis direct from your laboratory bench to existing HPLC, LCMS, GC/MS, UPLC and NMR equipment, so you can focus on your work rather than manage your sample's progress. LAB2LAB then returns analytical data from each sample direct to the user, appropriate data repository, ELN or LIMS.
TTP LabTech's LAB2LAB uses a proven system of low pressure compressed air, in pipes running alongside other services to transport samples securely. Each sample is issued a unique 2D barcode for traceability and has associated electronic instructions that detail the analytical methods to be used, letting LAB2LAB schedule analysis using the most appropriate analytical instrument available. It allows unattended 24/7 operation to reduce sample queues, optimise instrument use and increase the speed of data generation.
TTP LabTech's LAB2LAB is simple to install, easy to customise and easy to expand

Hey guys,
So i upgraded my iphone from 1.0.2 otb to 1.1.4, after the upgrade my battery just drains really quickly all the time, it doesnt even last one day!
i think im on 3.9bl
any advice please? thanks!
I came here with the same issue, I have an OTB 1.1.1, octo prep> 1.1.2 Softupgraded to >1.1.3 and restored to >1.1.4 It's been okay for the past week or so, but at 50%; it drains extremely fast, I was charging it this evening and I couldn't sleep cause my laptop's fan is screeeeeaming so I just let it of with a 60% charge, but overnight, it's drained 100%, what the hell?
I recently sold my 8gb and bought a 16gb and immediately noticed the battery discharges much faster. It seems to discharge twice as fast. I'm running an unlocked and jailbroken 1.1.4.
At first I thought it was because of the larger size. I went to the apple store and they told me the 16gb does not drain faster. Anyone know if this is true? I haven't read that the 16gb is bad on the battery so I'm guessing he's right. However, a friend of mine also has the 16gb unlocked and jailbroken 1.1.4 and he also has bad battery performance.
I wonder if there is some application I've installed that is running and consuming more cpu than it should. I do have a lot of applications installed, but I only used 1 or 2 regularly.
I'm recharging, it drains while charging:( It's starts at 10% goes to 30% then 50% up to 60%, I have it on for a while, install bossprefs to disable EDGE and then it's back to 50% and now it's 60% again:confused: is my battery just reaching it's end of last cycle?
mine is a 4gb version.. is it possible to take it to apple and get a new iphone?
Not fair, you can go to the apple store?:p Well, maybe restoring the locks (if you unlocked/jailbroke) and go to the apple store and ask them.
Otherwise, I've heard upgrading and flashing the baseband/bootloader to 4.6 works, but don't take my word for it;)
Well first issue there, Do you have a friend with an iPhone who's sim you can borrow? use that sim and patch the activation? don't know if it works but I'm not an AT&T costumer, I'm in denmark, an unsupported country, but I'm still in the clear because I know the guys in the local Apple store (Well "Premium Reseller" huMac, closest we have to apple in DK)
my battery isn't nearly that bad, you sure you just haven't been using it a lot? Also I have read some baddd posts of upgrading to 4.6 from a 3.9... I am scurred to...

I'm going to say it's legit. The phone will look the same but the big change will be the software. A bigger jump that we have seen in the past in terms of UI.

Re: Alleged iPhone 5S leaked images
Totally believable, they need to work on the software side, I don't care what anybody says, iOS is dull, boring, stale, old, and is lacking many features still. It needs a massive overhaul. When I'm at home I still finding myself using my iPhone 4 instead of my 5 due to it being jailbroken, I can actually use the thing for more than just playing games and sending texts/emails etc..
Time for a big camera upgrade as well, very disappointed in the camera of this thing, it flat out sucks in low light, marketing pr foloed me too on that one..

Re: Alleged iPhone 5S leaked images
As for the iOS that some of you commented how its become boring etc. I'd guess you've been using iphones for well over 2+ yrs to feel this way ? I felt this way after using a bb for 4+ yrs, so i can sympathize with how you feel. Currently for iOS i've only been using my iphone 4S for 1yr + 1mth, and my iPad 1st gen 3-1/2yrs now. I actually don't feel bored with the iOS, and seeing this, this is why i feel that the iphone fits for me perfectly for my use I don't fault or bash any of you that think differently of course.
It will indeed be interesting to see when the next iPhone is released (5S) what Apple may have done to re-polish the iOS to "freshen" it up a bitiHeartMyPINKalicious5C&iPadAir*drink that Kool-Aid, follow my lead. now you're one of us, you're coming with me*Thanked by:

Re: Alleged iPhone 5S leaked images
just like the 4 and 4s i dont think you would see a difference in hardware.
I am friends with a fair amount of tech bloggers and also just some apple crazed friends. general consensus is if there isn't a fairly large change in the UI they may look elsewhere for their next device. with the new win8,bb10 and whatever android will be baking up there is an ever changing tech world out there and people that have had an iphone since the 1st one want a little bit of a change.

Clarke believes Villa improved under Lambert
Steve Clarke has warned West Brom they will face an Aston Villa side on an uphill curve as they start to embrace the ideas of Paul Lambert in Sunday's Barclays Premier League derby.
Clarke and Lambert were briefly team-mates nearly a quarter of a century ago at St Mirren and will now cross swords in the dugout for the first time at Villa Park.
Albion have made a flying start under Clarke with 10 points from the opening five games of the campaign.
But Clarke has noted the gradual improvement in Villa's fortunes including the 4-2 midweek win at Manchester City in the Capital One Cup.
He said: "We've had a good start and Villa have had an okay start. You can't say they've had a bad start.
"They've had enough decent results to show what Paul is trying to do there is starting to work. Their trend is upwards.
"I've watched a few of their videos leading into this match and you can see the team is starting to play the way Paul would like them to play."
Albion finished above Villa in the Premier League last season but Clarke said "only time will tell" whether that will become a regular occurrence.
He said: "Last year was good for the Baggies fans that they managed to get the local bragging rights.
"I've been involved in the Merseyside and the Tyne-Wear derby so I understand the passion of the supporters.
"This season is completely different. The first derby game could be crucial so we need to know we go there knowing we need to put on a good performance.
"Villa had a fantastic result midweek whereas we had the reverse (against Liverpool).
"We have to try and overcome that and go there and put in a good performance and bring back a good result."
Clarke is aware for the need for his players to keep a cool head on Sunday.
He said: "It is going to start frantic, it is going to be passionate, the crowd will be really involved.
"It is important for the players to have a cool mind. You have to be passionate, put your foot in and make the tackles.
"But at the same time you have to have a cold mind and be ready to play the football.
"Probably the first team to put their foot on the ball and make some passes will be the team that gets the best start to the game."
Clarke is unsurprised Lambert has carved out a successful managerial career after seeing him break into the St Mirren side as a teenager.
He said: "Paul was an apprentice at St Mirren and just coming into the team as I was looking to get out of the club. I was linked with move after move.
"There is the story that he cleaned my boots and didn't get a tip at Christmas. But in those days you didn't have a dedicated boot boy. I was on £25 a week so had no change left to tip him!
"Seriously, it is always difficult when talking about a 16-year-old boy to say if he will go on to be a good manager but I would say he was always a serious professional.
"When he came into work, you could tell he had a good attitude, wanted to do well all the time, demanded high standards from himself.
"Looking now, you would say that is one of the traits you want to become a coach or a manager. It doesn't surprise me he has gone on to have a good career as a manager."
Summer signing Goran Popov could make his first Albion start after training for the past two days following a groin problem.
Fellow full-back Liam Ridgewell - a former Villa player - is also making good progress with his thigh problem while midfielder James Morrison (hamstring) is also likely to be available.

NEIGHBORHOOD APPRECIATION DAY: This event program was launched not only as a chance to thank the surrounding neighborhoods of Iglesia ni Cristo local congregations but also to give support and assistance, whether it is through health services or simply fun activities for the children. And at a time when the economy is weakening and many free social services are being cut, Neighborhood Appreciation Days are providing free services like blood sugar (diabetes) screening, blood pressure check, eye health, free glasses, foot exam, dental assessment, massage, photo studio, free food, kids arts and crafts, musical entertainment and job hunting/resume writing assistance. The day is an opportunity for the neighborhood to get to know the INC, to see inside our houses of worship and to know that our doors are always open to them for worship and prayer. We hope this is just the beginning of stronger and on-going relationships with our communities.

Mon-Fri 7:30am-5:30pm
They saved us big bucks on the purchase of a used Volvo wagon. We went back to the dealer with CMW's pre-purchase inspection report and the dealer did over $2,000 of repairs before we bought the vehicle. A huge thanks to Jeff and his crew!
Seriously unhappy with how I was treated here. Several attempts to find out why I was charged what I was charged failed. I can tell you that it was too much. Never again.
Excellent – Always take the time to discuss problem options and answer all my questions. Being a single woman, I'm always Leary of auto shops however I have never felt this way at Continental and that's why I continue going there.
B-A-D D-E-A-L!!! – CHECK ENGINE LIGHT -- Called in... JEFF told me sure bring it in we've got time... JEFF says it'll cost me $210.00 to run diagnostics + parts/labor, and have car repaired same day. JEFF told me they had worked on it for (3) hours and they couldn't finish it that day ... would order the part and have it for me noon tomorrow. JEFF's first quote was for O2 sensor @ $400. p&l. So I told JEFF I just had one replaced recently it didn't cost $400. So JEFF says he'll give me a deal and do it for $300. I told JEFF I'd go elsewhere.... another automotive repair rip-off. DISHONEST, OVERCHARGED, & ARROGANT ABOUT IT!
Wow what a deal its not – Took my car in for a break inspection and he estimated $400 for the brake change. The 5 other places a took it estimated between $180-$225. They are nice and explain everything but at double the price id much rather have a not so friendly guy to take my money. Save u some green and move past this place
I would tell them that.. – I would tell them that Continental is honest, fast, and reliable.

I have been working at Avery Dennison full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Great people. Coworkers (the ones that have chosen to stay among the turmoil) are fantastic.
Leadership sometimes gives their LA Clippers/Lakers/Kings tickets to employees.
Opportunity for international travel
Cons – Leadership does not communicate business direction.
Layoffs always around the corner, very stressful.
Re-organization and re-structuring 2+ times per year.
Hard to do process improvements with shrinking budget.
Advice to Senior Management – Share your vision for the direction of this company. A lot of us are worried, and are not getting any answers.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Warren Buffett has been continuously in the headlines. From his criticism of Kraft's share purchase of Cadbury to the more recent questioning regarding Moody's operations, Buffett's activities are closely watched and scrutinized.
Following his simple rule "Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful", Buffett is the envy of the investment community.Although his image may partially be tarnished by the recent wave of accusations against Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett is undoubtedly the most successful investor of our time.
IN PICTURES: World's Greatest Investors
Picking Buffett's Brain
His brilliance is the envy of the investment community, with admirers eager to pick his brain - some paying top dollar to do so. In a recent online auction to dine with Warren Buffet, the winning bid was a record $2.63 million. Last year's winning big reached almost $1.7 million, while in 2008 it reached $2,110,100.
For those who can't afford to cough up those types of funds, a cheaper way to gain insight into Buffett's investment strategy is to study the stocks he invests in. Knowing what is inside the billionaire's portfolio allows one to implement a "follow the pros" investment strategy.
Food Stocks
Warren Buffett's largest holding is Coca Cola (NYSE:KO), a company that was picked for its high profit margins and low business risk.
Moody's Corp. (NYSE:MCO) is currently under investigation for the assigning of overly optimistic bond ratings. Because Buffett owns 13% of Moody's, he was forced to testify in court. Other major financial sector stocks Berkshire Hathaway holds include Well Fargo (NYSE:WFC) and American Express (NYSE:AXP), its second and third-largest holdings with 320 million and 152 million respective shares. After falling to nearly $10 during the peak of the recession, American express has gained over 300% to trade at $41.50.
Despite that Warren Buffett is not typically known for his investments in energy plays, he currently holds significant positions in ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) and NRG Energy (NYSE:NRG), along with a minor $26 million investment in Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM). When reducing many of his positions in the first quarter of 2010, Buffett sold 9.4% of his ConocoPhillips holdings. Nonetheless, this oil and gas giant still has over $1.8 billion worth of shares held by the famous investor.
Consumer Staples
Proctor & Gamble (NYSE:PG), Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT), Johnsons & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) and Nike (NYSE:NKE) are some of the well-known consumer goods providers held by Warren Buffet.
The Bottom Line
Despite that Buffett has recently received much media attention for unloading certain positions, he is a firm believer in the buy-and-hold investment strategy. Coke, for example, has remained part of the
As the third-richest person in the world, with an accumulated net worth of $47 billion according to Forbes, Warren Buffett chooses investments carefully. Stocks in his portfolio should definitely be considered for hidden value. (For more, see Think Like Warren Buffett.)

I did some comparison shopping, but really, how much do we as the regular consumer know about diamonds? I felt this value for the price was exceptional and the most important thing is: I LOVE THIS RING! And in the end, that is all that really matters.... I will buy from Blue Nile again.
Stunning and unique eternity ring!
Beautiful and sparkly ring! Just the right amount of attention for me. Not too big, but certainly a stand out. I wear a 4.5 and it fit perfectly. This ring is for my 40th birthday and I know I will love it for years to come. I also considered the 3 carat eternity ring, but this is more unique so I chose this one instead. I've already received tons of compliments on this beauty. This was my first purchase from Blue Nile and I'm really pleased! Super fast shipping and excellent customer service!
Beautiful, a bit uncomfortable.
This is a very pretty ring. Despite the number of settings, the diamonds and not the platinum work are the prominent feature. Unfortunately we had to return the ring because it caused some discomfort for the fingers to either side of the ring. This could be because the settings are so large and my wife's fingers are small and thin.
She said "yes"! She loved the ring.
My wife to be loves it and thinks it's real pretty.the diamonds are a real good quality.
Comfortable and beautiful!
I absolutely love my wedding band. I was so nervous when we picked this out, but I love it, and I believe I will continue to love it until the day I die. I was so nervous that it was going to be uncomfortable. It absolutely is not. It does not scratch or bother me in any way. It sparkles so beautifully and I love not having to worry about it being 'right side up.' I get compliments on it on a regular basis. It is truly beautiful. I am currently pregnant, and I have taken off my solitaire because it is half a size smaller than this ring due to its narrower width, and I thought I would hate not wearing it. With this band though, wearing it alone, is still so beautiful. I love it. I really couldn't be happier with our decision to try it out.
Perfect ring, so sparkly.
She loves it. I bought it as an engagement ring and it works perfectly.
Wedding Ring and Service are exceptional
Blue Nile had to do a special order for my wifes ring size.It took 7 weeks but it was worth it. The follow through from Blue Nile was exceptional and every woman who has seen the ring my wife now wears loves it.
This ring is absolutely stunning. It is elegant and beautiful. The design is so simple yet the diamonds are just breathtaking to look at.
Now THIS is a celebration ring!
For our 25th anniversary, it was time to put my tired wedding ring to rest. Since we were not getting engaged, I really struggled with what to get for the next 25. The reviews really persuaded me to give the garland eternity ring a try ( seemed fitting). We both are so pleased. Incredible wow factor. Serious sparkle AND unique. What more can a happy bride of 25 years ask for? Absolutely stunning, we couldn't be happier. Blue Nile delivered once again.
This ring is more beautiful than I expected. It is also larger than I expected. It looks great with my diamond engagement ring.
Beautiful ring and design.
I have been looking at this ring for months. My husband finally told me to just buy it, instead of just looking at it. The color and clarity of the diamonds is outstanding and the design is unique. Love the ring!
She loves this ring!!!!!
She absolutely loved this ring. The diamonds are very brilliant.
Very unique - striking ring for the pricepoint
I looked at over 50 eternity rings - including in NYC's diamond district - and couldn't find anything like this at all. I love how the ring looks with my round solitaire engagement ring, or alone. All of my friends are envious!
Beautiful anniversary band. Was concerned it wouldn't stack well with my other rings (round cut with tapered baguettes), but it really does. Also looks beautiful alone. Lots of sparkle! It's a great value...jewelry stores didn't come close to the price for a ring this size. In fact, I wasn't able to find anything like this in a store. Unique design. Loved the security of knowing I could return it if I didn't love it.
Elegant and timeless
I loved the garland eternity ring. The diamonds were so brilliant and the sparkle was amazing. Unfortunately for me, I have large knuckles and require a more substantial piece of jewelry to make my large knuckles less noticeable. This ring was elegant, classy, and timeless but just too dainty for my hands. If the 5 carat were less expensive, I'd give it a try.
Exactly what I had expected
I appreciated the detailed information the site gavel. It allowed me to make a the most informed choice I could have without seeing the product physically. When I got it in the mail (impressive turn around time) it was exactly what I had anticipated, a very beautiful and eye catching ring!
"Very Classy design"
My 2.5 ct. tw. garland eternity band truly a lovely ring with the design and sparkle. My hands are small and the ring provides plenty of "bling", sets nicely with the low profile so is comfortable and gets noticed which is a big part of it! The ring was exactly as represented so there was no disappointment as I spent a lot of time deciding. And, it arrived the next day, so all-in-all, it was a happy experience- it's nevery too late to treat yourself!
Beautiful and unique
My husband gave me this ring for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We debated between this one and the Aria design at Tiffany's and I even brought this ring to Tiffany's and compared them--the quality is just as good if not better than the Tiffany style but thousands of dollars less and a better design (not as pointy). I love this ring--so sparkly! It's perfect for everyday wear but also looks stunning when dressing up. I stack it with other rings that I have sometimes and it stacks nicely.

Three malnourished dogs rescued from a Wilmington, Delaware home will need extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation before they can be adopted, Delaware SPCA officials said.
After being rescued, SPCA officials named the dogs Fleetwood, Mac and Stevie, after members of the band "Fleetwood Mac."
The dogs were rescued from the basement of a home on Brown Street. SPCA officials say the dogs were found cramped inside cages in their own feces. The cages were stacked on top of each other and the windows were covered, the SPCA said.
The dogs are considered to be mixed-breeds, with the young male in the worst shape.
"We were amazed that he still was in good spirits and wagging his tail, despite the horrible way he has been treated," SPCA volunteer Sherry Stewart said in a story posted on the Delaware SPCA website. Stewart helped care for the dogs and named them.
The SPCA says the dogs will need weeks of recovery before they can be placed in permanent homes.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

openSUSE Cuts Maintenance Cycle to 18 Months
Instead of 24 months and 3 versions, Novell will in future only supply 2 updates in 18 months for openSUSE.
A short mail from Michael Loeffler announced the cut from 24 to 18 months of maintenance. The mail on the openSUSE mailing list comes one day after Marcus Meissner announced that maintenance for openSUSE 10.3 will end in October.
The new model will cut the maintenance period to 2 versions and 2 months after the release of the following version (2+2), which with the planned release rhythm of 8 months means 18 months.
The move brings the openSUSE project closer to the Fedora maintenance procedure: Red Hat ends support for community distributions one month after release of the next but one Fedora version (2+1).
First reactions to the change were not long in coming: Boyd Lynn Gerber suggests building on an enterprise product based openSUSE version, even without a maintenance contract with Novell, to ensure five years of support, like, for example, Centos offers for the Red Hat enterprise version.

What is the best clothing for hot weather or a heat wave?
Evaporation works to cool the skin only if the sweat that the body produces is allowed to evaporate. Lightweight, loose clothing allows air circulation to the body's surface and helps promote cooling. While cotton is the classic fabric that can be used, some synthetic fabrics have been developed to wick sweat from the skin and allow more efficient skin or body cooling.
What is the prognosis for heat rash?
Heat rash or prickly heat tends to be self-limiting and gets better once the skin cools and is allowed to breathe. Prevention by not allowing heat to accumulate in body areas, followed by cooling the skin are the most common ways to obtain the best prognosis for heat rash.

Spice Blends
In-House Blend
Here we've updated an American classic by changing the classic Hungarian paprika to a sweet Pimenton de la Vera, a smoked paprika from Spain. We also added Chipotle chilies for more smokiness and a touch of heat. The mix is rounded out with Turkish Oregano, Garlic, Coriander, Tellicherry Black Pepper, Yellow Mustard seeds and Cloves along with some brown sugar and sea salt. Smoky BBQ Rub will turn even a cube steak under an electric broiler into a Southern treat. For our Smoky BBQ pork, we combine it with beer to create a smoke infused marinade.

Tourism officials argue that starting school in early August or ending school after Memorial Day takes two to three vacation weeks off the table, costing the tourism industry and the state a lot of money.
What tourism wants is for the state Legislature to pass an act that would a dictate starting date no earlier than two weeks before Labor Day or Aug. 17, whichever is earlier, and the ending date no later than the Friday before Memorial Day.
One version of this "school start bill" has passed the House and is waiting for the Senate to act.
The state superintendents' association has opposed such legislation because it takes away the scheduling flexibility that local schools need to deal with their particular needs. Also standing in the way of this bill is the state's mandatory 180-day school year.
However, supporters of the "school start bill" point out that the legislation gives schools the flexibility to meet the 180-day requirement by having students attend fewer days so long as they attend the same number of hours, thus taking away one type of flexibility but replacing it with another.
It looked like it would be a battle royal between the two sides — until the proposed education budget with its drastic loss of teaching jobs began making the rounds.
Faced with the need to cut costs, supporters of the bill pointed out that by reducing the number of days but maintaining the number of hours, schools would save operating costs — transportation and the like.
That got folks got interested.
Then came the best part. Pass the "school start bill" and the schools will get more revenue, but the Legislature won't have to raise taxes.
What could be better?
Under the Canfield Budget Act, which was passed last year, the amount of money the Legislature can spend is based on the previous year's revenue; what is left over goes to rebuilding the rainy day reserve fund. Revenue was down last year, so the Legislature can't allocate more money for schools, even though budget estimates for next year are improving.
However, the Canfield Act has a loophole. The Legislature can spend more money than last year if that money comes from new revenue sources.
Of course, no one expected any new revenue sources because the governor and most of the Republican majority have said there will be no new taxes.
But, it is being pointed out, tourism revenue from the additional weeks of vacation under the "school start bill" is new revenue, so it will go to the schools.
Well, that's different.
The superintendents' association is rethinking its position because if this bill passes and the money comes in this summer, Eric Mackey, the association's director, has said "we're pretty confident that every teacher's job can be saved."
Now it looks like the "school start bill" will pass, teacher jobs will be saved, and the tourism industry will get what it has wanted all along.
Will this improve education? It is obvious that laying off teachers will not help our children or our economy. And since the only way the Legislature will find new revenue is to stumble across it, apparently this is the best we can do.

Recent Acquisitions - 2 of 12

Claude Lorrain
French, 1604/5–1682
A View Outside the Piazza del Popolo in Rome
Black chalk, gray and brown wash, pen and brown ink framing lines on cream laid paper
8 11/16 x 12 5/8 in. (22 x 32 cm)
Acquired by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, 2007
The idealized landscape paintings of Claude Gellée (called Claude Lorrain) inspired generations of artists and collectors. His drawings were also admired for their compositional balance and use of light and shade. But by and large, this body of work went unseen until after Claude's death: he confined his drawings to his studio, using his sketches and studies as personal guides and reference material for larger paintings. This drawing, one of a group of sixteen acquired by the Clark from the collection of Peter Jay Sharp, was originally from a book used or assembled by Claude around 1638 to 1642. Known as "the Tivoli Book" for the predominance of scenes of Rome and Tivoli contained therein, this assemblage of drawings was either an actual sketchbook, in which Claude drew directly onto bound sheets of paper, or an album, a book into which Claude tipped individual sheets made on separate occasions. Claude frequently drew in the open air, studying the countryside or buildings around him. In this composition, the dome and bell tower of the church of Santa Maria del Popolo are visible at right, clumped among fuzzy trees and other buildings adjacent to one of Rome's oldest public spaces, the Piazza del Popolo. However, Claude's inexact rendering of the actual architecture, as well as the prominence of the two oxen shown in bold profile in the foreground, suggest that he worked on at least some parts of this drawing back in his studio, altering details in order to create a compelling arrangement of parts. The Tivoli Book was dismantled sometime during the last few years of Claude's life or soon after his death by members of his family, and six of its original thirty-two drawings made their way into an album owned successively by Queen Christina of Sweden, Prince Livio Odescalchi of Rome, the noted collectors Georges Wildenstein and Norton Simon, and finally, Peter Sharp.

The meetings and incentives industry will be GLAD TO BID FAREWELL TO 2009, a year of economic turmoil, bad press, and relentless meeting cancellations. So let's crack open that fortune cookie and look ahead.
There is some promising news. First up: While a LIMRA survey of financial and insurance companies in April revealed that 42 percent were changing or canceling their 2010 recognition conferences, that number was down from the 52 percent who were doing the same in 2009.
Then in mid-August, the economic research firm e-forecasting.com, in conjunction with Smith Travel Research, announced that after 19 months of consecutive decline, the Hospitality Industry Pulse index climbed 1.6 percent in July. (HIP gauges business activity in the U.S. hotel industry in real time using components such as revenues from hotel stays, occupancy rates, hotel employment, and other key economic factors.) Tipping point or fluke? In a press release, Maria Simos, CEO of e-forecasting, chose the former. "July was ground zero for a recovery to take shape," she said.
And at press time in late August came an announcement from PKF Hospitality Research that nine consecutive quarters of declining lodging demand will come to an end in the second quarter of 2010. "Of the 50 markets monitored by PKF-HR, 45 will experience stronger demand in 2010 than in 2009," said R. Mark Woodworth, president of PKF-HR. "It is important to note, however that supply increases are still an issue for hoteliers across the United States, as 25 of our 50 markets will report further declines in occupancy, even with 20 of those 25 experiencing demand increases."
Word on the Street
Meanwhile, insurance and financial services meeting professionals sound cautiously optimistic. One meeting director whose company paid a hefty fee to cancel a resort buyout in 2009 just because of perception says that the same recognition program is going forward for 2010. It's booked domestically rather than at its usual international destination, but he believes 2012 will see a return to an overseas site.
Another planner canceled a 2009 recognition program to Central America because of negative publicity about corporate events but has been assured that the program will run in 2011 and 2012. "It was a legitimate meeting. It's ridiculous that I have to feel like a criminal," this executive says. Management will decide in December whether or not the program goes forward in 2010. "I don't think conventions drive sales," the planner continues. "But having the trip and spending the time with people binds you together. Then, if it's a tossup, maybe [our company] gets the business."
At event company TBA Global, Alison Jenks, vice president, marketing, projects more mixing of online and face-to-face events for corporate clients. "They're not replacing all meetings," she says, "but rather augmenting a lot of them with online options." Some companies that canceled meetings in 2009 are seeing the effect of losing face-to-face contact with employees, she believes. "TBA recently released a white paper on employee engagement and it was our most downloaded white paper ever," she notes. "Leadership is realizing that employees are their most important brand advocates and are the ones who will drive sales. So they are returning their focus inward, and hopefully that translates into more face-to-face meetings."
Linda Pond Rindos has been named director of regional sales for Atlantis, Paradise Island, The Bahamas. She will handle accounts in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Boston. She had been director of national accounts, Northeast, for Gaylord Hotels.
Hyatt has extended its Multiple Meetings Program. Book two or more large meetings (at least 200 peak room nights) by June 30, 2010, and receive a slate of extras. Meetings must take place by the end of 2015. Find more at www.hyattlargemeetings.com.

19/08/2012 - First time I've completed the Dex since 1999.
I don't use uber Pokemon , I don't calculate stat values, I don't use cheating devices, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature. (Started by Tyranitar)
I'm willing to breed Tauros' for whoever wants one.
Just PM me.
I'm looking for pokemon in my signature, but I'll take pretty much anything if you can't give me one.

Best Sushi in South Tampa – My wife and I have enjoyed Yoko's since 1999 when we moved to Tampa. We occasionally venture out to test the waters elsewhere but we keep coming back.
Yoko's son, Jeff, owns SoHo Sushi which is also good, but Yoko's is the most consistently excellent sushi in Tampa Bay.
Five stars for Yoko's!
not impressed! – i love to explore so i decided to go to yokos for the first time with a couple of my friends, our waiter seemed very rude and impatient with us our tempura rolls came out cold our sushi was sloppy! i dont know how they got so many great reviews i was not impressed at all and never coming back here ever again!!
I say in the head line that they have done much progress in growing the buisness. – belive it is a fantastic resturant they have exellent sevice an faboulos food it is very apitising. I belive they are an amazing resturnt.
Best Tampa Sushi! Will be back often! – My wife and I have been on the hunt for good sushi for a long time and we found it tonight! We have been getting sushi every Friday for the past 3 years, so trust me when I say this place is in the top 2%. Only 2nd to Crazy Sushi in Jacksonville on our list. Great, creative rolls too! Try the caliente!
good sushi rolls, nice staff – Even though it was busy at 8pm on a Tuesday the place is pretty big and I was seated immediately at the sushi bar. The rolls were good. Some interesting "house" rolls and combinations. The sushi was just ok - not super fresh and great but not bad. The staff & chefs at the sushi bar were friendly. i would go back.
Good Sushi - I will return – Ordered pickup without a menu and didn't receive exactly what I hoped for (my fault), but what I did receive was good. (Not a fan of cream cheese on a tempura shrimp roll). It was still pretty good considering. Spicy tuna was delicious. Will definitely go back (with a menu this time).
Best Sushi in Tampa Bay – I've tried lots of sushi in the Tampa and St. Pete area and Yoko's is by far the best. The fish is very fresh and the chefs are amazing. The fresh rolls are amazing as are the dragon and and spider.
Yoko's Is The Very Best in Tampa – What a wonderful place. Food is excellent. Chef's is excellent. Service is excellent. Atmosphere is excellent. We travel about 40 miles one way and eat here several times a week. You just can NOT get any better. Highly, Highly recommend.
Great sushi location – This place was fabulous. Everything from the greeter to the servers, sushi chef, food, prices were excellent. Dishes were different and very tasty. The sushi chef appeared to be well trained both in his preparation and presentation. Definately a go back to place.
Best Sushi in Tampa – My family and I have been dining at Yoko's for several years. The sushi is always spot on and the service is impecable. Yoko always stops by our table to make sure our dining experience is top notch. I recommend the Volcano, Caterpillar & the Hawaiian roll and if you have room the Spicey Crawfish, too! We live in Lutz and drive the 10+ miles just to eat sushi at Yoko's and it is well worth the drive.
