Premier League Team of the Week
Manchester United were the big winners in the Barclays Premier League over the weekend and our Team of the Week reflects this.
By Marcus ChhanFollow @@MarcusChhan
Sir Alex Ferguson's side beat Arsenal 2-1 to move top of the table after 10 rounds as Chelsea dropped points against Swansea.
Like the Blues, defending champions Manchester City also struggled as they were held to a goalless draw by West Ham while Tottenham slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Wigan.
Liverpool earned a 1-1 draw with Newcastle at Anfield thanks to a fine bit of skill from their star striker Luis Suarez.
This week we've gone 4-3-3 again.
GK: Alex McCarthy (Reading)
Reading's Alex McCarthy did his growing reputation as a promising goalkeeper no harm on Sunday with a priceless performance in their 1-1 draw with fellow relegation candidates QPR.
The 22-year-old made not one but two stunning saves to deny QPR - the first came when he tipped an Esteban Granero free-kick onto the crossbar while his second was an even better save on Adel Taarabt's effort later in the game.
RB: Steven Whittaker (Norwich)
Debuts are never easy, especially if you are a defender trying to adjust to the pace and power of the Barclays Premier League. In this respect, Norwich full-back Steven Whittaker deserves the plaudits for his assured start against a physical Stoke side. Whittaker's crossing was his most attractive asset as an individual but he also helped form a solid backline for the Canaries as they got the clean sheet and the 1-0 win over Stoke.
LB: Patrice Evra (Manchester United)
Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra has had to cop a lot of criticism recently but it was all-smiles for the Frenchman during Saturday's 2-1 win over Arsenal. The defender was rarely troubled by the Gunners who just did not have the pace to catch out the nimble defender. Evra also arrived on cue to head in what proved to be the winning goal for United against old rivals Arsenal.
CB: Ciaran Clark (Aston Villa)
Aston Villa defender Ciaran Clark provided the defensive foundation for his side to build an important 1-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday. On the one-occasion when Clark was stretched defensively, the centre-back recovered excellently to block Sunderland's Stephane Sessegnon from scoring an almost certain goal.
CB: Winston Reid (West Ham)
Not many people would have felt West Ham were capable of keeping a clean sheet against English champions Manchester City - but they did and Winston Reid shone in the heart of defence for the newly-promoted side. The New Zealand international marshalled his defence brilliantly against quality opposition with City opting to start the game with Mario Balotelli, Carlos Tevez and Edin Dzeko.
CM: Shaun Maloney (Wigan)
Wigan's Shaun Maloney is one of the more under-rated players in the Barclays Premier League. The attacker's ability to run at defenders and pick out team-mates with a pass was on full-display in Wigan's shock 1-0 win over Tottenham on Saturday.
CM: Pablo Hernandez (Swansea)
In what was generally a poor weekend for the 'Big Four' Barclays Premier League clubs, Swansea did their part by holding Chelsea to a 1-1 draw. The Welsh side more than held their own against the reigning European champions - especially in the first half - led by the intelligent movement and passing of midfielder Pablo Hernandez. It was fitting then to see the Spaniard cap-off his performance with the equalising goal in the 87th minute which by the way was a very good finish low and beyond Petr Cech from outside the box.
CM: Marouane Fellaini (Everton)
This could be a real break-out season for Everton's Marouane Fellaini. This man-mountain of a midfielder has impressed before in previous seasons but also struggled with consistency and his disciplinary record has not been good either. However, this season the Belgium international has managed to put all the pieces of his game together and what we're left with is a player who terrorised Fulham for two goals on Saturday.
ST: Luis Suarez (Liverpool)
Unplayable. That was the word used by Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers to describe Luis Suarez during his side's 1-1 draw with Newcastle on Sunday. He wasn't wrong making that statement. The Uruguayan tormented Newcastle defender Fabricio Coloccini till breaking point - the Argentinean eventually had a meltdown in the 83rd minute with a late tackle on Suarez which earned him a straight red - and Suarez managed to score a quality goal as well.
Suarez's goal in itself is worth his entry into the Team of the Week. After controlling a long ball from Jose Enrique with his shoulder, he took the ball down on his chest and then dribbled around the advancing goalkeeper Tim Krul. All this while running at almost full speed too.
ST: Robin van Persie (Manchester United)
Manchester United striker Robin van Persie needs no introduction to readers of our Team of the Week. He's been a regular feature in this list this season and last season for that matter as well. Why does he deserve yet another mention here? Let's see, he was the main focus of attention in the biggest game in England over the weekend with the visit of his old side Arsenal to Old Trafford and he duly delivered for Manchester United to send them top of the table.
Still not convinced? Maybe you should go ask Arsenal left-back Andre Santos. He was so star struck by Van Persie that he was ready to swap shirts at half-time!
ST: Peter Odemwingie (West Brom)
West Brom's two-goal hero from Monday's 2-0 win over Southampton was Peter Odemwingie and he rightly takes up the final place in our Team of the Week. The Baggies are now flying high in the Barclays Premier League in fifth place.

In this report, nonboat-related unintentional drownings as the underlying cause of death are coded in ICD* as E910; boat-related unintentional drownings are coded E830 or E832. Submersion and drowning undetermined as to whether it was unintentional or purposely inflicted is coded E984. Data to determine the number and characteristics of drownings in Arizona are obtained from the death certificates filed with the Arizona Department of Health Services. Data for the United States are from the National Safety Council, unless otherwise specified.
Population figures for Arizona residents, used to calculate rates, are projections from the Population Statistics Unit in the Arizona Department of Economic Security ( data for 1986-1989 and 1993-1996) and the U.S. Census Bureau (data for 1990). Detailed population data by gender, age and county were unavailable for 1991-1992. In order to obtain the population denominators for these two years, the 1990 percentages of population breakdowns (or census shares) by age group and gender were applied to 1991 and 1992 total state or county population estimates published by the DES.
Population denominators by ethnic group for 1996 were obtained by applying the 1995 percentages of population breakdowns by ethnicity, as projected** by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, to 1996 total state population estimates produced by Arizona Department of Economic Security, Population Statistics Unit.
Due to the public health importance of this type of drowning in Arizona, this report estimated the number of swimming pool drownings. Swimming pool drownings were drownings which met either of the following criteria:

Size Matters1 of 11
By Emili Vesilind
When it comes to decorating smaller spaces, it's important to think big. Which is why we asked interior designer Tracie Butler — the decor mastermind behind some of Hollywood's hottest homes, clubs and restaurants — to spill her secrets on how to make any room feel roomier.
Let There Be Light2 of 11
Rather than take up space with floor and table lamps, look for "lights that hang from the ceiling," says Butler, who's currently "loving anything vintage from the '40s through the '60s that has a transparency to it. Think pale Murano glass and light-diffusing acrylic fixtures." Butler's motto: "Never cut corners on fabric and lighting."
Object Lesson3 of 11
Disorder doesn't help the space, but if decorative objects are put together in clever, unexpected ways, then they can add a certain vastness to small rooms. Butler likes mixing "bigger things with smaller things — and things you don't feel are necessarily appropriate together." After all, "it always looks good to have a mistake in the room."
Walled Up4 of 11
Butler lightens up the walls, as well, to add the illusion of more space. Super-pale gray and butter cream are currently her favorite hues. For ceilings, "I add 50 percent white to the paint color I used on the walls, so you have color continuity with the walls, but it opens up the space even more," she says.
In Treatments5 of 11
Heavy, weighty or patterned window treatments "are a big no-no in small spaces," says Butler. Instead, opt for light-colored linen drapes without a lining. "Even if I'm doing a guy's room, I'll keep drapes sheer. I always want to have light coming through the fabric."
ON GLO: Extreme Hotel Bathrooms
Color Cue6 of 11
"The first thing I do is lighten the floors," says Butler. "It makes everything feel so much airier." Try natural hardwood, stone and carpeting, or even a cream-colored area rug.
Mirror, Mirror7 of 11
Take a cue from '70s-era interior design and load your space with mirrors, says Butler, who "always tries to do a mirror that's facing a view or a pool." The reflection will make the room look bigger and brings in the maximum sunlight. And "don't be afraid to put a larger mirror in a small space—it adds drama."
Low Profile8 of 11
Butler notes that a common mistake in small rooms is adding a jazzy, high-pile rug, such as a shag, that "tends to close the space." Instead, "go for a low-pile rug, like a jute or a nice weave." Butler loves brightly colored woven carpets and ombre-dyed rugs that move from light to dark in hue.
Face Forward9 of 11
"In any room, you always need to allow for foot traffic," says Butler. "And in smaller spaces, flow is really important. The back of furniture shouldn't face the entrance of a room. In a big room, that can work, but it will only make a smaller room look tiny. Having furniture face the door creates impact."
Open Season10 of 11
The scale of furniture in any room can make or break how spacious it looks, says Butler, who picks smaller, more delicate pieces for itty-bitty rooms. Think Lucite tables, ottomans with skinny legs (as opposed to stout, floor-grazing versions) and chairs and sofas with openings in the backs or arm rests.
Screen Time11 of 11
TVs can suck the space (and style) out of any room—even flat screens, if they're placed in a too-central spot. "The TV shouldn't feel like the main thing in the room," says Butler. "I'm still a believer in hiding it in an armoire or bookcase."

Michael Lambert named March Ambassador of the Month
Posted by Dewayne Wright
- Wednesday, March 31 2010
Office of Communications & Marketing
President Bell presents Michael Lambert with the Ambassador of the Month Award.
Michael Lambert, a public safety officer, went above and beyond his duties during one of this past winter's snowstorms to help a student in a wheelchair traverse the snowy sidewalks.
"During the winter storm, a student in a wheelchair was attempting to travel on the sidewalk along University Drive," wrote nominator Jim Cobb, director of Safety & Environmental Services. According to Cobb, the sidewalk had been scraped but there was still some snow and ice making it difficult for the student to move the wheelchair. Lambert pushed the student through the snow from Prescott Hall to the Roaden University Center.
"I am not surprised as Officer Lambert is an excellent employee who is willing to go the extra mile," Cobb continued. A photo of this kind act was taken by another university employee who sent it to several people on campus. After seeing the photo, Cobb said, one employee remarked, "This is why I live in Cookeville and work at Tech."
Lambert has been with the university since November 2005.
Ambassador nomination forms are available from TTU's Human Resource Services or by visiting

A Perl script protects forums against spam
Spammers don't just send email. They exploit discussion forums and blogs, posting pseudo-messages full of links to dupe search engines. A Perl script cleans up the mess.
My own small discussion forum on perlmeister. com has attracted too much attention from link spammers recently. These parasites of the Web target their bots at popular forum software tools such as phpBB or blog applications such as Wordpress, bombarding them with postings that contain very little aside from links to poker and sex pages. Spammers try to lure forum visitors into clicking on their sponsors' websites, and they are trying to dupe the major search engines that rate the importance of a page based on the links pointing to it. Spanner in the Spambot's Works What is known as comment spam [2] can be reduced by restricting postings to registered users. But this obstacle is also likely to frighten off legitimate users who have qualms about privacy issues. And moderating every posting before it appears on the website may keep the spammers out, but the effort required for these checks is immense – not to mention the unavoidable delays that hamstring any discussion.

Seattle >Beverage Manufacturers >
Brewers >Quinn's
1001 E Pike St, Seattle, WA | Directions 9812247.613988 -122.319288
Sunday-Thursday 5 p.m.-1 a.m.; Friday & Saturday 5 p.m.-2 a.m.
Neighborhoods: Broadway, Capitol Hill
The short ribs and the sloppy joe shine at this extremely lively Cap Hill gastropub. They take their burgers and beer very seriously here as well.
Lots of great little dishes on the menu, but the dish that stuck with me most was the pretzel with rarebit. Don't miss!
Known more for their gastropub food than their 14 beers on tap, Quinn's takes everything they serve seriously. Great beers, including several made by Trappist monks. Get the burger or the wild boar sloppy joe.
Stellar beer bottle and bourbon/whiskey list, with rotating and seasonal taps and a delicious menu to boot. Great for a drink, late night snack or even a heart to heart with a knowledgable bartender.
A rightful focus on beer but don't forget wine and cocktails. Pro staff with a sense of humor. Great burger and many inventive dishes.
Bone marrow, pig face bits, foie gras & one of the best burgers in town? Yes please!
Comfort Food Reigns Supreme – Comfort reigns supreme at this always-packed neighborhood gastropub – from the creative pub food to the casual vibe. The clientele runs the gamut from hardcore beer geeks to a well-heeled cocktail-sipping crowd. Sit at a table near the floor to ceiling windows and watch the colorful cast of characters that frequent Pike Street. Or belly up to the bar with fellow imbibers over more than a dozen beers on tap, plus several by the bottle, lambic and sour, and trappist ale selections. Many wines are also available in a half bottle format. Although the meat-heavy menu is divided into small and large plates, a few small plates will easily suffice for a meal. Don't miss the Painted Hills beef tartare, wild boar sloppy joe and the potato gnocchi with rabbit ragout. Quinn's is open until 1 a.m. every night (2 a.m. on weekends) and within walking distance of some of the city's best live music venues.
Fun atmosphere, good, different food – I like Quinns. All the exposed rafters, hardwood and dark colors makes for a really cool scene. Great beers on draft, good whiskey selection, decent wine list. Wild Boar sliders are tangy, sweet, and just the right amount of fatty, served with fried sage leaves and a roasted jalapeno. And the pork belly cobb is one of my favorite salads in the city. Crispy/chewy/tender pork belly with a big pile of mache and cucumbers on top and a soft boiled egg in a tangy dressing that counters the fatty belly perfectly.
Time to get on my soapbox for a minute: I don't understand why all the protesters decided to target Quinn's. Maybe because it's so visible and "in" at the moment? Either way I can't stand it. Protesting Foie Gras, which IS (generally) humanely produced by small, family owned businesses. They are doing a disservice by passing out their propaganda and flooding review sites like Citysearch with useless reviews (just look below).
Anyway, great food, beers, good staff and atmosphere. Try Quinn's out. If you don't support foie gras, don't order it. If its not selling, they will take it off the menu. Looks to be selling. I like it half off on Mondays (I think).
Crappy Service – First off, been to Quinns several times, service has been going downhill as popularity rises. Walked in tonight to meet some friends. Host's podium was deserted, and no other customers were waiting. As I was waiting to someone to notice me standing there, 3 other parties lined up behind me. The host ( blond 20 something girl) wandered back, and asked how many in my party. I said three, but I wanted to order food right away. The host said that it would be about 5 minutes to clear a table if I wanted to wait. I said "sure" and stood aside for her to help the other customers. She sat all three parties immediatly (around 8 people total) the came back to me and said " I just sat alot of tables, so it's going to be about 15-20 minutes"
I left and wentto one of the other numerous restaurants in the area . La Spiga has great servie BTW.
Delicious. – Ate here the other day, the bone marrow was fabulous. And for all you foie gras haters, stay away, I shall eat your portion as well. Cry a river about that, all animal slaughter is cruel, look at all the videos. Become a vegan or shut the hell up.
Lame. – I would just like to say, I went in with an open mind. But the experience was lame. Only thing cool was the location. Some of the menu items sounded interesting, but when our food came it was nasty. At least I could stare out the window the whole time, while my boyfriend slurped down his--in his words--"salty duck liver." Gross, thanks for the mental image.
close-minded alert!! – At first I was enjoying my meal then the foie gras protesters came. It wasn't the protesters that ruined my dinner, but the managers of Quinn's. It really upset me that they wouldn't even speak to the protesters, whom I later found out had good reason to be there. If you ask me, if the owners of Quinn's won't even consider taking one pesky (and extremely cruel) item off their menu, well they're selfish. I don't like eating around selfish people, you won't see me at Quinn's until foie gras is off their menu.
NOT a date place. – Take your date someplace else, guys. Don't ruin your chances by trying to impress your girl with Quinn's. What a mistake. And FOR GOD SAKES don't make her eat that force-fed foie gras junk. She was NOT impressed. Damn.
Serves Cruelty – Please ask Quinn's to STOP selling foie gras, a cruel product.
People that eat this product are either completely ignorant or totally lame. Please....don't be lame. Whether or not you believe an animal is suffering for this product, one thing is for sure: An animal died for it unnecessarily for pleasure and profit.
Also, please consider veganism in regards to your food and your clothing. Non-violence is extremely cool and good for you, the environment and animals!
foie gras is cruel – Quinn's serves foie gras....a cruel product. Please ask them to remove it from their menu.
Also, please think about your participation in animal exploitation in general.
Foie Gras -- Yuk – Quinn's needs to stop selling foie gras. In offering this product, they are directly supporting extreme animal suffering. I have seen the videos and have read all the information. The ducks that are used to create this product undergo immense suffering. They are kept in incredibly cramped and filthy conditions and are force fed until their livers expand to several times their normal size. Many choke to death or freeze to death before they can even be slaughtered. Others literally burst open from the force feeding. There is simply no way to make foie gras humanely and there is no excuse for this kind of animal cruelty. Please ask the chef to take foie gras off the menu and do not patronize Quinn's until they do.

Academics Ayman Yacoub - Fulbright Arabic Fellow
Ayman has practical training in schools in Egypt and two years of experience as a teaching assistant there, along with individual language tutoring. He has also studied educational translation. Ayman has a black belt in karate, and is intersted in reading and delivering poetry.
Teaching Philosophy
Ayman knows that there are many methods for teaching language, and believes that "none is perfect." There are complex circumstances of teaching and learning language - with different kinds of learners, teachers, aims and objectives, approaches, methods and materials, and classroom techniques and standards of achievement. As a teacher he makes use of any or all of them according to the needs. He states that "much will depend on the number of students in class, their background, and the level to which I am teaching." He especially likes to divide a class into small groups and ask them to work as a group, gradually moving into a more communicative practice involving dialogue creation and role plays. He sees practice as essential so that "learners will start to become independent users of the language rather than students of the language." His role is to facilitate a realistic situation or activity where the students instinctively feel the need to actively apply the language they have been practicing.

Bielema's Note To Hogs' A.D. Long Hits The Web
December 11th, 2012 10:06 AM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee
Tags: AD, Best Wishes, Big Picture, UW
Already months into a coaching search, Arkansas AD Jeff Long received in September a note from then-Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema. In it the Badgers' coach praised Long's decision to blow up Bobby Petrino as "the right call!"
Three months later, Bielema was named the Razorbacks' new head football coach. And his handwritten note has hit the internet (courtesy of a Freedom of Information request):
If you can't make that out, here's the text:
Just wanted to say this note is long past due. As I watched your press conference this past spring I wanted to reach out and say how much I respected your actions but more importantly your words. As a head coach I know that my comments are looked at in every way possible. Here at UW I have a great AD because he is a man of his word and asks the same for all of us. Best wishes moving forward and stay strong. I twas the right call!
Best Wishes,
P.S. One thing I have learned through my time at UW is that today's society wants to win them all, but as Coaches and Administrators we need to balance the Big Picture for all our student-athletes!"
One wonders what led Bielema to send a note to another school's AD just as his own season was getting underway and not at the time of the actual Petrino firing. Or at some point over the summer.
Instead, Bielema didn't send the note until sometime in September. Now, if the undated note was sent in early September, then it might have just been something that popped into the coach's head after a long delay. If it was sent later in the month, then it's possible Bielema was genuinely trying to encourage Long as Arkansas' football team lost to Louisiana-Monroe and then went downhill from there.
Or Bielema — wanting out of Alvarez's shadow — might have been trying to get his name into the mix for a job that would obviously come open and not go to interim coach John L. Smith.
(You can bet that freshly hired Western Kentucky coach Bobby Petrino — who gets to open the 2013 season against the Kentucky and Tennessee programs that chose not to interview or hire him — would love to get a crack at Bielema someday.)
None of this is to suggest that Bielema did anything wrong in mailing a simple note of encouragement to Long. We just find the timing to be… interesting.

Gulfshore Playhouse Continues Seventh Season With THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
Gulfshore Playhouse continues their spectacular seventh season with the hilarious, classic comedy The Importance of Being Earnest, playing February 15 through March 3, with a preview performance February 14.
One of the funniest comedies in the English language, this play revolves around Ernest Worthing, who has come from the country to propose to Algernon's cousin, Gwendolen. Algernon, however, refuses his consent until Ernest explains why his cigarette case bears the inscription, "From little Cecily, with her fondest love to her dear Uncle Jack". This masterpiece continues wittily in what is known as one of the most ingenious cases of "manufactured" mistaken identity ever put into a play. Come see this hilarious comedy that reminds us of the importance of honesty, laughter and being earnest!
Founder and Producing Artistic Director Kristen Coury will direct the production. "We have yet to undertake Wilde here at Gulfshore Playhouse and I am up for the ride. I look forward to bringing this hilarious classic to the stage with such an incredibly talented group of New York professional actors from all over the country."
William Connell is playing John Worthing. William has previously appeared in the 2010 Broadway revival of A View from the Bridge, The Coast of Utopia at LCT, Alphabetical Order at Keen Co., Hamlet at Aspen Music Festival. He has also appeared in Smash and Gossip Girl. Playing Algernon Moncrieff is A.J. Shively. A.J.'s previous Broadway credits include: La Cage Aux Folles and Brigadoon and the national tour of The Sound of Music. Nick Ullett will be playing Lady Bracknell. Nick created the role of Gerald in the musical Me and My Girl on Broadway and most recently appeared on "Love Struck" with Barbara Bain.
Claire Brownell is playing Gwendolyn Fairfax. Gulfshore Playhouse audiences may remember Claire from last season as Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire. She has also appeared on Broadway in The 39 Steps. Playing Cecily Cardew is Hanley Smith. Hanley has appeared as The Women in The Picture of Dorian Gray (Sonnet Repertory Theatre); Luisa in The Fantasticks (Virginia Stage Company); Sally in The Voice of the Turtle (Merrimack Repertory Theatre); and Gloryana with The Public Theater. Kate Young will be playing Miss Prism. Kate's previous credits include Florida Rep's Lend Me a Tenor and the Mason Street Warehouse's Boeing Boeing. Other regional theatre favorites include Sister Aloysius in Doubt, Herodias in Salome, and Lady Britomart in Major Barbara with the Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre (PICT) where she is an Associate Artist.
Reverend Chasuble will be played by Tony Triano. A former transplant of Jacksonville, Tony was the resident character actor at the Alhambra Theatre and performed in over 150 productions! Nationally, he has been seen in Hello, Dolly!, Fiddler on the Roof, Annie and LaCage aux Folles. Gulfshore Playhouse Artistic Associate Cody Nickell will be playing the roles of Lane and Merriman. Last fall, Cody starred in 'Art' and directed God of Carnage. Audiences will also see Cody playing Caleb in The Whipping Man.
Gulfshore Playhouse will also be presenting their 3rd Annual "Bubbles, Baubles and Broadway" Gala Fundraiser on February 28th at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point, starring Alexandrea Tocco, who patrons may remember as Juliet in 2007's Romeo and Juliet: Redefined. This wonderful event will feature Alexandrea performing Broadway showstoppers, a 3-course dinner, live auction with special guest auctioneer City Councilman Bill Barnett and silent auction with jewelry items provided by Bigham Jewelers. This is a night you won't want to miss! Cost is $225 per person, $400 per couple and $1500 per table.

OLYMPIA, Washington (AP) — Gov. Chris Gregoire has signed into law a measure that legalizes same-sex marriage in Washington state, which now joins several other U.S. states that allow gay and lesbian couples to wed.
Gregoire and Secretary of State Sam Reed certified the election on Wednesday afternoon, as they were joined by couples who plan to wed and community activists who worked on the campaign supporting gay marriage. The law doesn't take effect until Thursday, when gay and lesbian couples can start picking up their wedding certificates and licenses at county auditors' offices. King County, the state's largest and home to Seattle, and Thurston County, home to the state capital of Olympia, will open the earliest, at 12:01 a.m. Thursday, to start issuing marriage licenses.
Because the state has a three-day waiting period, the earliest that weddings can take place is Sunday. Same-sex couples who previously were married in another state that allows gay marriage, like Massachusetts, will not have to get remarried in Washington state. Their marriages will be valid here as soon as the law takes effect.
"This is a very important and historic day in the great state of Washington," Gregoire said before signing the measure that officially certified the election results. "For many years now we've said one more step, one more step. And this is our last step for marriage equality in the state of Washington."
Last month, Washington, Maine and Maryland became the first states to pass same-sex marriage by popular vote. They joined six other states — New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont — and the District of Columbia that had already enacted laws or issued court rulings permitting same-sex marriage.
Nearly 54 percent of voters approved the referendum in Washington state.
The law doesn't require religious organizations or churches to perform marriages, and it doesn't subject churches to penalties if they don't marry gay or lesbian couples.
Heather Kawmoto and Kay Lancaster of Tacoma attended the signing event Wednesday afternoon with their 9-year-old daughter, Kayleigh Kawmoto.
Kawmoto and Lancaster have been together more than 14 years, and domestic partners since 2007, and both said they can't wait to finally pick up their marriage license as soon as the county auditor's office opens Thursday. They will marry in a small ceremony on Sunday in Tacoma.
"It's something we've hoped for and dreamed of," Lancaster said. "I didn't dare hope that it would be this soon, and we're just thrilled that it is."
Lancaster and Kawmoto said that the reality of their impending marriage sunk in in the past few days, as they were writing their vows.
"We never knew we'd be able to say those things to each other," Lancaster said, starting to cry, as Kayleigh quickly handed her a tissue.
Maryland's law officially takes effect Jan. 1, however couples can start picking up marriage licenses on Thursday, as long as the license has an effective date of Jan. 1. Maine's law takes effect on Dec. 29. There's no waiting period in Maine, and people can start marrying just after midnight.
In addition to private ceremonies that will start taking place across Washington state this weekend, Seattle City Hall will open for several hours on Sunday, and several local judges are donating their time to marry couples.
Washington state has had a domestic partnership law in place since 2007. The initial law granted couples about two dozen rights, including hospital visitation and inheritance rights when there is no will. It was expanded a year later, and then again in 2009, when lawmakers completed the package with the so-called "everything but marriage" law that was ultimately upheld by voters later that year.
This year, lawmakers passed the law allowing gay marriage, and Gregoire signed it in February. Opponents gathered enough signatures for a referendum, putting the law on hold before it could take effect.
There are nearly 10,000 domestic partnership registrations with the secretary of state's office. Most same-sex domestic partnerships that aren't ended prior to June 30, 2014, automatically become marriages, unless one of the partners is 62 or older.
That provision was included in the state's first domestic partnership law of 2007 to help heterosexual seniors who don't remarry out of fear they could lose certain pension or Social Security benefits.
Marcy Kulland and Terry Virgona, both 59 and from Tacoma, said they plan to get married on Sept. 28, 2013 to celebrate their 22nd anniversary.
"I'm just ecstatic. Now we're legitimized," Kulland said. "It's just absolutely wonderful."
However, she that while the state law is a great step forward, as long as federal law continues to deny federal recognition of same-sex marriages, there's more to be done.
"This completes us, it doesn't complete our work," Kulland said.

Best Columnist
Thomas Schaller, The Baltimore Sun
Published: September 18, 2013
Consider this shoutout a thank you that political columnist Schaller, a UMBC professor of political science, seems to be the only non-sports columnist at The Sun who takes his job and readers seriously. He'll acknowledge Maryland's progressive strides ("Maryland becomes a liberal paradise," April 3, 2013) or chide the Department of Defense ("Don't exempt Pentagon from scrutiny," May 1, 2013) in the same kind of clear, direct prose he uses to keep track of Barack Obama's ups and downs—well, this year, mostly downs ("When the president checks out, abuses mount," May 29, 2013; "Is Obama the world's worst socialist?," Sept. 4, 2013). Whether or not we agree with Schaller's opinions isn't the point—that he respects his forum and his reader enough to articulate an idea and argue it is.

In the field of linguistics there has for long been a debate on how human beings develop the ability to communicate. Often referred to as the nature versus nurture debate, the argument is over whether we are born with an innate ability for language or learn to use language through our interactions with environmental stimuli. Over time, both sides have presented convincing evidence. For example, Noam Chomsky, a linguist from MIT, demonstrated that babbling newborn babies produce phenomes (the smallest units of sound) which they could never have heard in the language of their present country, but which are used in a variety of languages all over the world. Babbling babies' use of phenomes proves, according to Chomsky, that the human brain is prepackaged with a "language faculty." Meanwhile, proponents of the nurture theory say babies merely make these sounds independent of any prewired linguistic ability. Given the nature of our vocal chords, any human has the potential to make these sounds; certain phenomes only become more difficult as a particular human grows more accustomed to the sound of the language in which he or she is immersed. It's a matter of cultural evolution, according to the nurture camp. Depending on your interpretation of the data, the debate leans to one side or the other. But it's most likely a combination of both: humans have some sort of built-in, prepackaged ability for language, which formed slowly via mechanisms of Darwinian evolution, but which quickly develops and matures based on input from the environment.
No matter which way the debate leans, all seem to agree on one fact: each one of us begins developing our linguistic intelligence at an early stage. Now that we're older, we can hone in on this linguistic intelligence and put it to use. After all, before you master something, you must first understand it.
Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner says humans developed language as a tool. It's a means at our disposal for achieving an end. Every time you speak, according to Gardner, you use language to achieve one of four ends.
They're broken down as follows:
Now that you have (I hope) a better understanding of the uses of language, try thinking of ways that you can put it to use. You can be confident in your linguistic abilities—after all they've been evolving since before you were born. Ask yourself the following questions: How can I put language to use to get a colleague at work to do something for me? What mnemonic techniques can I use to memorize things? How can I better use language to teach someone something, to make something run more smoothly on my next conference call or at work? If there is a difficult concept you're working with, look at it at the quantum level. Look at the actual words you're using to describe it and see if you can't break those words down into easier-to-understand concepts. Who knows, a little metalinguistic analysis may very well make the answer to your problem crystal clear.

William Dempster Hoard discusses his vision for the dairy industry
Some of the Elements and Effects of Dairy Progess as Seen in Wisconsin
This 21-page, undated typescript by William Dempster Hoard appears to be a speech given in Iowa early in the 20th century. Hoard was one of the most ardent supporters and promoters of dairy farming in Wisconsin, and is often credited with doing more than anyone else to shift farmers away from wheat and toward dairy in the late 19th century. He helped to organize the Wisconsin Dairyman's Association and published a newspaper, Hoard's Dairyman, that is still in production today. Hoard believed that education was the key to successful dairy farming and in this piece, he discusses the history of dairy farming in Wisconsin and his vision for its future. The primitive typewriter used may sometimes make reading difficult; click "Page & Text" to see a transcript.

Ex-AU RB Dyer's Gun Was Used In 2011 Robbery
April 11th, 2012 03:25 PM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Auburn
Tags: Dakota Mosley, Dyer Auburn, HBO, MVP
Former Auburn running back Mike Dyer testified today that a gun used in an alleged robbery involving four other ex-Auburn players was his. Former Tigers Antonio Goodwin — on trial now — Dakota Mosley, Shaun Kitchens and Mike McNeil were arrested in March of 2011.
Dyer — Auburn's leading rusher the last two years and the MVP of the 2011 BCS Championship Game — testified that he and Mosely, Goodwin, and Kitchens were drinking beer and smoking synthetic marijuana while watching an NBA game when "Dakota asked me if I want to hit a lick."
"Hit it a lick" means — apparently — "let's go rob someone."
Dyer said he wouldn't do that. Yet it was his gun that was eventually used in the robbery that also involved McNeil.
Dyer has since followed Gus Malzahn to Arkansas State.
Auburn fans enjoyed a fantastic season in 2010. But from L'affair Newton to a much-hyped HBO investigation to an NCAA investigation to the dirt that's going to come out from these guys' trials… all the memories of that team might not be good ones for Tiger backers.

2009 Pontiac Solstice Trims
|Reviews (1)
|Pictures (29)
The 2009 Pontiac Solstice starts with an appropriately named Base trim level in this drop-top roadster. Powered by a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, the Solstice comes standard with a 5-speed manual transmission for all your sporting aspirations, helped by a limited-slip rear differential as well as traction and stability control. Top-dropping duties are handled by a power soft top with a glass rear window equipped with a defogger. Even as an entry trim, the Base comes well apportioned, with 4-wheel antilock discs, a power driver's bucket with height adjustment, tilt steering wheel, satellite radio with digital media connection and one year of OnStar. Headlights are automatic here, and a theft-deterrent system is included. Especially notable for a base trim are the 18-inch alloys the Solstice rolls on.

Bucking the manufacturing trend, the Solstice arrived as a convertible, and now four years later a hardtop version appears in dealerships. Excepting the fixed roof with a removable glass panel, the Solstice Coupe is identical in configuration to the Base convertible trim, with the same 2.4-liter engine and 5-speed manual transmission, traction and stability control, and rear limited-slip differential. 18-inch alloy wheels hide 4-wheel antilock discs, and the same list of standard comfort, convenience and luxury features are found inside. That means a tilt steering wheel and bucket seats including power and height adjustment for the driver. The stereo is MP3 friendly and comes with satellite radio and a digital media connection. For safety, a theft-deterrent system and one year of OnStar are both included.

With more power from a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, the GXP trim of the 2009 Pontiac Solstice comes closest to meeting the sports-car aspirations of this American roadster. This is reinforced by a sport suspension, foglights and a leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel, but convenience and luxury haven't been ignored. You'll also find a full power package including the top, mirrors, windows, locks and remote keyless entry, as well as Bluetooth added to the satellite-ready CD/MP3 player, which sports a digital media connection. The steering wheel gains radio controls, and the driver benefits from cruise here, as well as power and height adjustment for his bucket seat. A 5-speed manual is still the transmission of choice, and things are kept civil via features like traction and stability control, a rear limited-slip differential and 4-wheel antilock discs hiding behind 18-inch polished alloy wheels.
GXP Coupe
|Pictures (14)
For those looking for the impracticality of a roadster without the fun of a convertible, the GXP Coupe trim of the 2009 Pontiac Solstice offers a hard top with a removable glass panel. Front bucket seats can still be bathed in sunlight then – as long as the sun is directly overhead – and the driver will enjoy power for his perch as well as height adjustment. The tilt steering wheel is wrapped in leather and has cruise and stereo controls for the satellite-ready system, which comes with Bluetooth and a digital media connection. A full power package includes windows, doors, locks and remote keyless entry. Power comes in the form of a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine and is delivered via a 5-speed manual transmission through a rear limited-slip differential. Safety is handled by traction and stability control, 4-wheel antilock discs, a theft-deterrent system and one year of OnStar.

Let's start with this: Don't expect the Ravens to put up 60 points Sunday.
Don't expect Joe Flacco to take endless shots downfield to Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones. Don't expect Anquan Boldin to suddenly run wild in the middle of the field off a lot of intricate rub routes.
Don't expect a lot of razzle-dazzle plays involving Ray Rice. Or for the Ravens to march down up and down the field in the no-huddle offense as if they had they invented it.

M&T Bank Stadium, 1101 Russell St, Baltimore, MD 21230, USA
Bottom line?
Don't expect this team to suddenly morph into The Greatest Show on Synthetic Fiber Turf.
No, the odds are that when the Ravens take on the Denver Broncos at M&T Bank Stadium, the offense won't look a whole lot different with Jim Caldwell calling the plays than it did when Cam Cameron wore the headset.
"Obviously there's not going to be a system change of any sort," Caldwell said the other day. "But we are going to add a few wrinkles here and there where need be."
OK, fine. But even a few wrinkles would be nice to see at this point.
As for a system change, maybe you'll get that next year if Caldwell passes this little late-season audition and another team hasn't snapped him up to be its head coach.
Maybe over an entire offseason, he can overhaul an offense that has underperformed the past four months despite all the preseason hype about how it would be more daring and aggressive and put up points in bunches.
Say, here's a bonus. At least Caldwell is supposed to be upstairs in the coaches' booth Sunday instead of on the sideline. Which means we won't be treated to endless shots of him holding a laminated play sheet in front of his mouth.
Why do the networks love that shot so much? I can't figure it out. You see one coach doing that on the sideline, haven't you pretty much seen them all?
I'm not going to say Caldwell is on the hot seat already, but there's tremendous pressure on the Ravens to play well and snap out of this two-game funk they've been in.
The last thing they want to do is continue to play poorly and back into the playoffs — assuming they don't lose all three of their remaining games and blow a shot at the postseason altogether.
And if you think the heat's just on Caldwell and the offense, consider what Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees faces in the 10-3 Broncos, the hottest team in the NFL with eight wins in a row.
For starters, Peyton Manning is playing as if complicated neck surgery is actually a good thing, as though every quarterback in the league should rush out and have it done.
Pees says it's almost as if time stood still for Manning and he's back in his prime with the Indianapolis Colts, picking apart defenses as in a video game.
He's thrown for 30 touchdowns, the second-most in the league, and has the NFL best completion rate at 68.3. And with Peyton playing like Peyton again, Denver's offense ranks fourth in the league.
Making matters worse for Pees is the ridiculous injury situation on defense.
It's almost of biblical proportions now. John Harbaugh says he's never seen anything like it in his five years as the head coach. Pees, with nine years in the league, says he's never seen anything like it, period.

The Untold Story of Tragedy and True Heroism on K2

Summary of One Mountain Thousand Summits Summary of One Mountain Thousand Summits Reviews for One Mountain Thousand Summits An Excerpt from One Mountain Thousand Summits
The account of one of the deadliest and most mysterious tragedies in mountaineering history-the 2008 K2 disaster."[A] high altitude thrill ride."
One Mountain Thousand Summits reveals the true story of the K2 tragedy that claimed the lives of eleven men. Based on his numerous trips to Nepal and in-depth interviews he conducted with the survivors, the families of the lost climbers, and the Sherpa guides whose heroic efforts saved the lives of at least four climbers, Freddie Wilkinson's narrative uncovers what actually occurred on the mountain, while delivering a criticism of the mainstream press's incomplete coverage of the event, and an insightful look into the lives of the six Sherpas who were involved.
-Nick Heil, Author of Dark Summit: The True Story of Everest's Most Controversial Season
"From the very start, I found One Mountain Thousand Summits riveting."
-Conrad Anker, Coauthor of The Last Explorer: Finding Mallory on Mt. Everest
"The gritty oeuvre is not only intensely captivating, but also the most comprehensive and introspective account of the disastrous events that took place on K2 [in 2008]."
"[One Mountain Thousand Summits] delves deeply and without hyperbole into what is really happening to high-altitude mountaineering."
-Ed Douglas, Author of Tenzig: Hero of Everest
"The book is moving and it succeeds thematically. One Mountain Thousand Summits finally offers hop that human dignity can prevail in the rarefied air above eight thousand meters."
-Rock and Ice
"Wilkinson focuses on the generally unsung guides and porters employed by the ill-fated 2008 expeditions, including a potted history of the Sherpas."
-Financial Times
"Freddie Wilkinson is one of his generation's best and most articulate mountaineers. K2 can be a savage mountain. Imagine yourself above 28,000 feet, in a storm, in the dark, and an avalanche has swept away your fixed ropes. Survival is on the line. Is it every man for himself or do you risk it all to help another? There is not one better to search for answers and relive the greatest drama on the world's most dramatic mountain than Freddie. This is a must read for climbers or for anyone who wants to know what it feels like to push yourself to the very edge and the lessons we can learn about ourselves and humanity from extreme adventure."
-Geoff Tabin, Author of Blind Corners: Adventures on Seven Continents
"In his One Mountain Thousand Summits, Freddie Wilkinson tells us what really happened high on K2 in August 2008 when eleven climbers lost their lives... Especially compelling is the credence Wilkinson gives to the surviving Sherpas' version of events and the way he weaves the affected families and loved ones into this amazing story of survivors and heroes. This is a must read because it illuminates the most complex and tragic two days in the mountain's history."
-Jim Wickwire, Coauthor of Addicted to Danger and the first American (with Lou Reichardt) to summit K2
"One Mountain Thousand Summits is both a high-altitude thrill ride and an eloquent meditation on our infatuation with - and frequent misunderstanding of - individuals driven to climb to the highest places on earth. Thanks to Wilkinson's tenacious investigation, narrated with uncommon skill and grace, he has produced the definitive account of the much debated 2008 disaster on K2."
-Nick Heil, Author of Dark Summit: The True Story of Everest's Most Controversial Season
"In a single two-day period, eleven climbers lost their lives on K2. In a mystery clouded by the haze of exhaustion, thin air, and poor communication we are left to wonder: What happened on August 1-2, 2008? With an insider's knowledge of Himalayan climbing, Wilkinson goes deep into the lives of the climbers and particularly the Sherpas on this fateful climb to produce a book that should be essential reading for those wanting to understand the disaster. From the very start, I found One Mountain Thousand Summits riveting."
-Conrad Anker, Coauthor of The Last Explorer: Finding Mallory on Mt. Everest
"Wilkinson is a talented alpinist himself, as well as an enquiring writer, and he takes nothing for granted... shrewdly structure to take full account of the Nepali climbers' and Sherpas' stories."
-Ed Douglas, Author of Tenzig: Hero of Everest

By Phil WilliamsChief Investigative Reporter
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Davidson County's Republican Party is throwing its support behind a resolution calling for County Clerk John Arriola to resign.
The group issued a statement by email late Sunday evening.
It's part of the continuing fallout from a NewsChannel 5 investigation.
Last week, a state audit concluded that Arriola may have pocketed almost $120,000 from weddings he performed on taxpayer time. Auditors also found numerous other irregularities, as a result of questions raised by NewsChannel 5 Investigates.
That's led Metro Council member Robert Duvall to file a resolution asking the county clerk to step down.
County Republican Chairman Kathleen Starnes issued the following statement:
"On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Davidson County Republican Party, and the citizens of Nashville, I support the proposed immediate resignation of John Arriola from his post as County Clerk. Even the appearance of the misuse of public office for private gain is something we cannot tolerate. In the case of Mr. Arriola, the District Attorney has been quoted that there are activities that do appear 'potentially criminal' and D.A. Torry Johnson has asked the TBI to investigate. It is in the best interests of the office of the County Clerk for Mr. Arriola to step down and I urge the members of the Metro Council to support this resolution."
Duvall's resolution goes before the Council a week from Tuesday.

Pasta Puttanesca (Tart's Spaghetti)
In Italian, a puttanesca is a 'lady of the night', which is why at home we always refer to this recipe as tart's spaghetti. Presumably the sauce has adopted this name because it's hot, strong and gutsy – anyway, eating it is a highly pleasurable experience.
If you are a strict vegetarian, replace the anchovies with another heaped tablespoon of capers.
Serves 2
|Need help with conversions?
This recipe is from Delia Smiths' Summer Collection
To make the sauce, heat the oil in a medium saucepan, then add the garlic, chilli and basil and cook these briefly till the garlic is pale gold. Then add all the other sauce ingredients, stir and season with a little pepper – but no salt yet because of the anchovies.
Turn the heat to low and let the sauce simmer very gently without a lid for 40 minutes, by which time it will have reduced to a lovely thick mass, with very little liquid left.
While the sauce is cooking, take your largest saucepan, fill it with at least 4 pints (2.25 litres) of hot water and bring it up to a gentle simmer. Add a few drops of olive oil and a little salt and then, 8 minutes before the sauce is ready, plunge the spaghetti into the water.
Stir well to prevent it clogging together, then time it for exactly 8 minutes.
After that drain it in a colander, return it to the saucepan - presto pronto-, and toss the sauce in it, adding the basil.
Mix thoroughly and serve in well-heated bowls, with lots of grated Parmesan to sprinkle over – and have plenty of gutsy, 'tarty' Italian red wine to wash it down.

I've become a big fan of Adobe Media Encoder, it's making short work of a lot of transcoding duties that would have been a pain with other applications.
Not sure if this is a bug or just a missing feature, but is it possible to select a group of clips from the queue and change their destination location? I can change the format and preset of a group of selected clips from the queue but for some reason I can't change the output location.
Any tips?
You're not missing anything. AME does not provide a way to change the output path for multiple items--yet. It's high on our list of requested features. And those of us who test AME for a living are pushing as hard as we can for it--not only on behalf of our customers but also because it's something that we want to do _frequently_.
I'll add a vote for you.
Thanks Mark. I can't tell you what an amazing tool this has been for someone who shoots A LOT of Red camera footage and needs to deliver to multiple broadcasters, each with their own technical requirements. AME reading the RMD LUT file and transcoding from 23.98 to 29.97 has made it one of the most important pieces of software I own but not being able to change the output path on selected items means I have to wake up every few hours when I have tight deadlines instead of just loading up the queue and going to bed.
Best put me down as two votes.
Dear Adobe, AME's inability to change the destination path on multiple clips (the way you can change the format and preset of multiple clips) is really screwing up my sleep patterns when things get busy. Instead of just loading the transcoding work required for the next day into AME and going to sleep I have to wake up ever few hours to reload. I really need you to add this feature before I sleep-zombie walk in front of a bus.
i totally agree with paul and just can't believe it that AMe doesn't have this function yet!!!?!?!?!? This is sth totally relevant and apple's Compressor can do it since ever!!! so please get this function added asap!
cheers, matthias
Hi Mark,
when is the option to be able to set an output path to multiple clips in AME gonna be ready? Really need it!!
hi Paul,
have you heard anything new about the mentioned problem?
Still having screwed sleeping patterns?
I might have a workaround for you...
In AME you can set up so called "watch folders". You can tell AME what to do when a file/multiple files lands in the specific folder - what codec and which folder to save.
As i assume, you have one file that has to be encoded to different formats etc. What you could try is to have one main folder with the final clip then create as many folders you need outputs of your clip and make them watch folders with the specific export settings.
Then create an alias of the main file into each of the "watch folders". I'm not quite sure if AME will take the alias and then render the main file. If it doesn't work and you have the time/patience you could copy the main file into the different folders and delete them afterwards.
That could give you a nice calm sleeping pattern :-).
btw: here some tips on creating an alias on a mac:
Creating an alias
You have several options for creating an alias:
Command and
Option keys, drag the item to where you want the alias to appear. Instead of moving the original item, this will create an alias at the new location.
Ctrl key and click the item you wish to alias. From the contextual menu, select
Make Alias. The new alias will appear next to the original.
Command-l (the lowercase L). The new alias will appear next to its original.
File menu, select
Make Alias. A new alias icon will appear next to the original.
Hi rowleystudios,
We can't comment on when this feature will be available but here is a workaround you can use right now:
Go to Edit menu -> Preferences... -> Check "Specify output file destination" -> browse to the folder you wish to output files to -> OK
Now every new source you import will go into that folder by default.
Another workaround is using Watch Folders as you mentioned.
Hope that helps.
so this feature will be coming it's only a question of time, right?
What do you suppose or think that it will take to be done? Shouldn't be to difficult, should it?
thanks anyway for the quick reply!
Hey Matthias, yeah this was literally the first thing I tried to do once I installed CS6 and what a let down.
I've been using Dima's work around for now. Set destination folder, dump in a batch of clips, change output settings. Rinse, repeat. This works but really disapointing to have such a glaring omission to an otherwise brilliant product.
wow that really is unsatisfying that it's not in cs6.
i hope they will get it in there soon.
I asked this already several sunsets ago. My suggestion was to copy some code from Audition, which has already a sophisticated structure, eg. prae- and post-fix for file names.

Very compact, very responsive, perfect fit for my Martin case. Stew Mac delivered super fast, another great transaction!!!
It's a good gauge. I verified it with others gauges and it's enough precise
Several months ago I gave the Caliber IV a poor review for not correctly reading 100% humidity (rain). I have been monitoring readouts on both units in more moderate conditions. This evening they registered 34% RH, the same as the weather station nearby. Conclusion: Accuracies appear to be linear, mid-range.
After I got mine, can´t live without it!!
This is the "Caliber III" manufactured in China for Western Humidor Corporation. It is calibrated poorly for accuracy when relative humidity (RH) is 75%, which is ideal for a humidor. I simply don't understand why StewMac and others pawn these off on trusting customers.
Thank you for your order. We're sorry you were unhappy with the Digital Humidity Gauge. We offer a 100% guarantee; if any item fails to meet your expectations, you may return it, unaltered, for a refund or exchange.
Compact and work. All that you need. 5 stars
I recently purchased two Caliber IV units for the workshop and timber store. I used a nearby Bureau of Meteorology weather station as a RH reference. Units were placed on a table with door open. It's raining and the weather station readout is 100%. I would expect the Caliber IV units to read ~99%, their maximum. Both Caliber IV units read 75%. Maximum calibration adjustment is +/- 6%. This was confirmed by manufacturer's email. Both units will be returned to Stewmac.
I took my new humidity gauge to the workshop of an experienced and trusted luthier friend who keeps his shop humidity constant and checks it constantly with two expensive gauges. To my surprise and pleasure my new gauge quickly recalculated and matched his gauges. This thing works!
It is minus 20 degrees F. in Denver this morning and the furnace contributes to an already very low relative humidity in my shop! It is imperative that I have an accurate way of measuring the RH in the shop so I can build at a constant level. Don't take a chance when for a few bucks you can know with confidence what the RH level is in your shop and avoid almost certain disaster. Robbie O'Brien
Works perfect!

We arrived in this small hostel in Taksim and the first thing that we have noticed was that it was really characteristic. The guys at the reception have been really kind, funny and did everything to help us. Unfortunately the place is really old, dirty and smelly. There were cracks on the walls, and the walls were dirty and moldy. It is really a pity that a really nice place like that, with wonderful people working in it, is in those conditions.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to find me a room when I needed to stay another night and they were already booked. Great location too. Right by Taksim and a great kabob shop. This was one of my favorite hostels I've stayed in, and I've been traveling continuously for three years now.

This is a very nice place to stay in Taksim, however it's a bit far from the attractions on the other side of the bridge, like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Bazaar, etc. The WIFI was difficult, but overall my one-night stay here was fine for what I needed prior to catching my flight home. I'd recommend this to people who want to stay near Taksim and have already seen the other Istanbul attractions.

The staff were extremely friendly and courteous, going above and beyond to recommend dining places and help us with a few phone calls we needed to receive and make as we didn't have a local phone. We booked a private room but when we got there they recommended the apartment across the street since there was no one in it. It was very cozy, extra privacy, only missing a kitchen to be perfect. And something really important for me -- the internet was screaming fast. Highly recommend this hostel.

Pretty dirty, there was dust all over the carpet, from entrance to inside the room. There's no decent place to take a shower, all they have for the whole building is a poor shower inside the toilet, you might stand on the toilet or hold it if you wanna shower. No greeting, no maps, no kind of information when we arrived. Location is convenient, close to Taksim Square and few meters from airport shuttle bus.
