In general the product is excellent. My complaint is that it wasn't made clear in the posting that an SD card was not included. I needed to spend an additional $40 to the original low price to purchase the SD card, which was an unexpected expense. I feel it should have been listed in the original ad!That being said, the product is easy to use and takes videos of excellent quality!
This is a very compact and easy to use camera. It fits in my pocket and takes both video and still. The pictures are clear and the video is sharp. Great product
I bought this product in order to fit in my pocket, so I could capture special family moments, that happen unexpectantly, and so far it has met that need. I am looking forward to future events, that will require it's use.
I was looking for a good camera to upload videos of myself for audition purposes (I'm an actress) and am a bit bummed about the video. The quality isn't what I thought it would be. It's fine for private camera use, but if you're using it for any kind of business purpose I'd go for a different camera. I also don't like that there's no way to prop the camera up if you are recording yourself. There's no flash for the camera either, which can alter the colors of pictures somewhat and they come out a bit blurry. On the plus side, I like that it has a rechargeable battery, it's lightweight and easy to carry, and is fairly simple to use.
The camera works fine and was in new condition ...seems to be better than the Flicker I had previuosly
This was a great buy. I was shopping around for a pocket camera and didnt want to pay the expensive price of a "FLIP" brand. I would totally reccomend this product to anyone looking for a pocket camera. price was great. and the quality is amazing. i was very surprised how clear the video comes out. i have used ot for about a week or so now and its just everything i was looking for.

Plant management, however, says such penalties will be avoided, citing significant progress being made in recent months to correct the problems, including a local company lessening its discharges of formaldehyde into the city treatment system.
The Alabama Department of Environmental Management on July 29 ordered Oxford's Tull C. Allen Wastewater Treatment Plant to show detailed reports of its progress in managing its pollution discharges into Choccolocco Creek. Failure to comply could mean thousands of dollars in penalties — the latest in a string of warnings and penalties from ADEM to bring the Oxford facility into compliance with its permit.
The treatment plant has 90 days from the issuance of the ADEM order to submit its reports on how it's fixing its problems, said Scott Hughes, spokesman for ADEM. The facility also has a year from the order to be in full compliance, Hughes said.
"If they don't comply, then they open themselves up to additional enforcement actions including civil penalties," Hughes said.
ADEM levied a $20,450 penalty against the treatment plant last year for discharge violations into the creek.
Wayne Livingston, general manager of the Oxford Water Works and Sewer Board, which operates the treatment plant, said much has been done at the facility in recent months to comply with the latest order. Livingston said the facility's pre-treatment standards are being modified to ensure it can handle discharges from area industries.
Livingston added that the Eastaboga industry partially responsible for the plant's problems in recent years, wood-paneling manufacturer Kronospan, has corrected its issues and is no longer dumping excessive pollution into the treatment facility.
"Things are working out pretty good now," Livingston said. "The Kronospan problem we've been having ... we're now handling it with no problem."
Attempts to reach Kronospan for comment today were unsuccessful.
ADEM in January formally requested Kronospan address its pollution issues, citing the company was discharging formaldehyde into Oxford's treatment system. Formaldehyde is a chemical used to manufacture building materials and household products.
Hughes said Kronospan has since complied with the regulation request, installing equipment in June to treat its discharges before releasing them into the sewer system.
"According to the latest discharge reports, it has made a significant improvement," Hughes said.
According to ADEM, between August 2011 and February 2013, the agency cited the Oxford treatment plant for 36 separate permit violations. The violations were mainly for excess discharges of total suspended solids and not putting enough oxygen back into the creek. Frank Chitwood of Coosa Riverkeeper said such violations can hurt the wildlife in the creek. Coosa Riverkeeper is a nonprofit with the goal of protecting, restoring and promoting the Coosa River.
"Total suspended solids are small particulates suspended in water ... they can go into a creek and get deposited on rocks, which are the habitats for most of the critters out there," Chitwood said. "And depending on the buildup, they can clog the gills of fish."
Chitwood added that a proper oxygen amount must be maintained for water discharges into the creek for the creatures living there to survive.
Meanwhile, ADEM is in the process of re-issuing the facility's operations permit for another four years. The permit expired in November 2012. Both the Coosa Riverkeepers and the Logan Martin Protection Association say they do not support the permit's re-issuance due to the treatment plant's pollution history and its management's alleged refusal to deal with the discharges from Kronospan.
"It's their responsibility to treat it and if they can't, then they should deny it," Chitwood said of the Oxford plant. "They are required to take all reasonable steps ... to minimize violation of their permit ... and I think denying discharges from Kronospan would be reasonable."
Mike Riley, president of the Logan Martin Protection Association, said his organization is concerned about what untreated chemicals might have flowed from the treatment plant, through Choccolocco Creek and into Logan Martin Lake.
"That creek is heavily used by a lot of people," Riley said. "We definitely want it safe for the people living here."
Riley said his group next month will send out two water pollution testers to Logan Martin to see what pollutants might have made their way there from the Oxford treatment plant.
Livingston said the treatment plant processes millions of gallons of water daily and identifying problems, much less fixing them, takes a significant amount of time.
"We can't turn it off so we can go find the problem," Livingston said. "And then you've got to correct the problem with millions of gallons of water coming through."

Henry's fifth birthday is next week.
I'm not in serious grieving mode, but every time I think of it I all but burst into tears.
I don't expect it to be a pleasant day. Maybe we'll be able to spend it in happy memories, but I kinda doubt it.
poign ant, adv.
a. Profoundly moving; touching: a poignant memory.
b. Physically painful.
c. Keenly distressing to the mind or feelings.

I landed on your blog a few months ago and cried for the couple of hours it took me to read your archives. I check in at least every week because I'm drawn to how graceful you are in your grief.
I have especially enjoyed your posts about what to say to someone who has lost a child and getting the how many kids question for the first time. (There's a poem called We Are Seven that I thought of when I read that post. From a somewhat different perspective, but I think the tenstions are the same). To that end, what's the best (or, at least, what's a decent) thing to say for Henry's birthday? Happy Birthday, precious Henry? I'm so sorry? Want a drink?
I'm from the same state as our surgeon general nominee and equally delighted. Did you see the internet traffic posing the question whether her obesity should be an issue in her nomination?
I'm not a commenter by nature and never really know what to say (this is actually the second time I've posted on a blog before and I've been an avid reader of dozens of them for six or seven years). I really just want you to know you have a regular reader in Alabama who enjoys your blog and hopes the most happiness possible for you and your family.

The Accreditation Council for CME in Chicago has issued a draft of its new Standards for Commercial Support, and there are major changes, particularly in the areas of disclosure and the definition of relationships between commercial interests, CME providers, and teachers. The Standards for Commercial Support are guidelines accredited CME providers must follow when accepting funding for education from drug companies.
The revised Standards state that the current disclosure rules, which stipulate that faculty and sponsors disclose their significant financial interests and other relationships with pharma firms, may not always be enough to ensure the separation of promotion from education. Under the new rules, if people or organizations disclose that they have a conflict of interest with a commercial interest (such as a drug firm), they should not be allowed to control the content of CME—in other words, they should be excluded from serving as a planning committee member, manager, or teacher. Conflict of interest is defined as a relationship "that may be perceived by the ACCME to create a sense of duty or loyalty" to the commercial interest, and as creating "a conflict between the interest of the individual and the interests of the public or learners."
The new Standards "accommodate every one of our provider types," says Murray Kopelow, MD, ACCME Chief Executive, "but it is going to require some providers to change how they do business." What does that all mean? Here's a hypothetical example: "An accredited communication company, that is part of a larger marketing firm that is part of a commercial interest, puts on CME in the content area in which they have a commercial interest. That very likely would be perceived as a conflict of interest," explains Norman Kahn Jr., MD, chair of the ACCME's task force on the Standards. Kahn, who is also vice president, science and education, American Academy of Family Physicians, Leawood, Kan., says that the situation is different in the case of an independent communication company that has numerous clients and funding sources, and where everybody adequately discloses their relationships. In that situation, there would not necessarily be a conflict of interest.
If a provider appears to have a conflict of interest, it will have the opportunity to demonstrate to the ACCME that because of its corporate bylaws, firewalls, and organizational structure, it is adequately separating promotion from education, adds Kopelow.
But what about faculty members who own stock in pharma companies? Who serve on pharma speakers bureaus? It depends, says Kahn. "There's no black and white example. Take an extreme case: Someone is trained by a drug firm as a promotional speaker, is paid a lot quite regularly, and has a reputation as being a promotional speaker—that would possibly be a situation where the speaker would be viewed as an agent of that company. In contrast, if somebody is on the speakers bureaus of many companies and is predominantly a CME speaker, not a promotional speaker—in that case, disclosure could be enough."
"The ACCME is empowering providers to make decisions about their teachers and authors on the basis of the disclosed information. That's the key and fundamental difference between the new and the old Standards," says Kopelow. "You can say to the drug company, 'I'm sorry, but that person cannot speak at this event even though you are the commercial supporter because of her interest in your firm.'"
The goal of the new Standards is to protect CME's safe harbor from regulation by the FDA and the Office of the Inspector General, says Kahn. If the CME community doesn't succeed at continuing to regulate itself, demonstrating that it can separate promotion from education, the result will likely be "terrible media attention and government regulation," he cautions.

As a faithful fan and friend of Sharapova it's all I can do, I have no other means to do more. And if she do not want my advices she beckons me and I'll stop that. For cons, I see that they are many others who benefit
In fact, I have seen compelling evidence that selected items from the forum do come to her attention--probably by way of adminstrators or other personnel. It's not a point I care to argue or make much of, but those who have watched this place for several years should have seen some of what I'm talking about.
Certainly, continue.
Example the Ask Maria thing. People were asking for it on the forum and then out of nowhere an Ask Maria comes along. lol
Hello! Paul;
Thank you! Paul; I am a little inteligent for understand that Maria is not the kind of persons who ignore their friends or faithful fans; She has past some difficult moment because her injury, but I hope that will be very good and recover quickly her all best health.
Hehehehehe I am a naughty girl, aren't I?
Certainly, continue. lol
I don't think that Philli; you are nice and a good fan
Now, I would like talk to you about the Active Rest which can be benefict for the sportsman during the off phases of her sport season.
Active rest
We all knew that the exercise of a sports activity, in particular on the professional level, requires a great energy contribution and a great physical capacity. To be able to answer to these conditions, the sportsman needs to maintain his physical and morals shape in a regular way during all the year and not only during the competitions.
But this physical maintenance and this working are likely to be confronted with two major handicaps which can make against productive the performance of the player; these handicaps are summarized as follows:
1) The fall of form: It is a great handicap against productive for the sportsman who can occur during the official competitions; it is due to the lack of preparation, to the bad program of training and to any disorganization on the calendar plan of the sports activities of the player, also it can be the fact of psychological and morals disturbances of the player.
Its treatment is lie in the good planning and the good choice of program of training which can adapt to all the expiries of the competitions and other activities of the player. In this context, it is necessary to prevent and take into account all the unforeseen ones and to prepare consequently.
2) Over activity: It is a major handicap which can also be against productive for the player during the official competitions; it is due to the excess of the sports activities and the negative intensity of work during the execution of preparation program of competitions.
It is said that too much sport is against productive for the sport; therefore, so that the player can be suited physically and psychologically and competitive in the field of the performance, it is necessary that its sports activities (training, competitions) are regular and balanced.
Thus, it is imperative to take into account the various phases of the sports activities of the player to arrange a special program for each one of the period of high, average and low intensity; in other words, it is necessary to prevent a special program of the training for each competition (Grand Slam, International Tournament, International Competition).
3) Balance or Active Rest: For controlling well the balance between the various preparation phases of the competitions, according to their importance (high, average and low intensity), one needs that the tennis player follows a special program of "soft running in", called "Active Rest", during the normal periods which are not in charge of any program of preparation (between the competitions and the specific program of training).
This program, which is regarded as that of the phase of soft running in and of good shape, is a means to maintain the endurance, to preserve the performance and to keep balance between the various phases of preparation.
A true sportsman does not need recommendations of a trainer to maintain his form, to consolidate his endurance and to preserve his performance; because, the body of the sportsman needs a physical and psychological maintenance as it needs a food maintenance. But, the work of the trainer is for the special program of training of high performance.
Thus, the sportsman of high performance can listen to his body to know if it needs a physical exercise or a rest; and since the absolute rest is not recommended for a professional sportsman of high efficiency, it is advised to follow a special program of active rest.
Consequently, the following program can be beneficial for the tennis player to answer, in all urgency, at its physical requirements in aspect of endurance and performance which must be consolidated by high level special programs.
This program is a basic physical work to consolidate the endurance which is very essential for the performance; however, it is very flexible and can be arranged according to the availabilities and the conveniences of the sportsman (when the sportsman not can do one sport session in the morning, he can do it in the afternoon and vice versa).
It is, in some kinds, a program of training of active rest which helps the sportsman to preserve his physical and psychological form without permanently providing hard efforts which can cause an over activity or a saturation (injury). Also, it is a means of balance which makes it possible to the sportsman to avoid the phases of fall of form due to the lack of physical-activity during the basic period's intensity and of lack of competitions.
This program always keeps the tennis player under conditions lend to the perfect execution of a special program of high efficiency required for the preparation for the high level competitions (Grand Slam, International Tournament).
Good Chance in your next Competition and God Bless. Kiss

Hello! Maria
I would like remember you about the program of Active Rest, since you need to manage your health. God Bless You! Kiss
Hello! Masha
How are you my Dear? I like ask you if and where can I ask you a private questions about your life.
Hello! Masha;
I wish you good chance and best wishes for this new year 2012; I hope that this new season will be the best of all. You need be very patient and concentrated. I hope that you will have a kind holiday in Australia and a great tournament. Also I like present to you my nice and kind wishes for Christmas. Merry Christmas & happy new year 2012. Your Friend Rahim :)
Hello! Masha
Today I'd like to talk about some negative psychological effects that may prevent the player to show his power and physical performance proved:
1) Negative psychological feeling:
Some feelings of false negative psychological pain can be harbingers of real pain or injury if the player does not release their hold time.
Because, sometimes, the player starts having imaginary sensations of pain and little by little, these sensations may evolve to take the form of chronic pain or injury.
These sensations are usually due to psychological an abnormal fear which is the result of a history of physical injury and also may be due for an anxiety of major sporting event.
To avoid this situation, the player must devise a system of thought to think positive to avoid injury if they are not effective. But this does not prevent him from taking preventive measures if it feels real pain.
2) Treatment:
It is obvious that the natural regeneration of cells of a body is much more beneficial than their reconstitution forced through organic stimulants injected. So you have to alternate care between natural regeneration through massage and relaxation, injection of acid & vitamins and sessions hot and cold baths. As for the ice baths, it is necessary that the length of sessions is between 10 minutes and 20 minutes with an interval of 30 seconds of rest, every 5 minutes, for not to burn the skin.
Never forget to follow the sessions of hard training for mild sessions to let the body rest, especially when there is pain sensation. In cases where pain is felt in the ankle, tendon or knee, you should replace the hard trainings sessions by sessions of cycling, swimming and tennis of table, because these sports do not require large physical strain of the tendons, ankles and knees. But we must remember above all to not think negatively to the pain or the false sensations.
3) The cries and moans:
I think the screams are very strong release negative energy that the body of the player contains, but also cries when they are very intense, they can deplete the player: for, when it reacts through energy actions such the cries and movements of the body, the brain also consumes energy to keep these organs of the body in function and order their responses in balance.
Thus, the body not only exhausts his physical strength, but it also consumes power brain, which negatively affects the brain's ability to control the overall concentration which is very essential for the control of psychological reflexes related to physical reactions of speed, patience, precision, accuracy, non-precipitation and self-control.
Therefore, one must know control his cries to maintain an intensity and frequency at a profitable level and not to exhaust all the positive and negative energy that the body needs for her balance.
I wish you a Great GS Tournament and Big Success. God Chance and God BlessYou! Kisses
Hello! Masha!
only one advice for today: Try to focus on your game more on powerful and tronger shots than the speed when you return the ball, for trying to be fast you can run out of precision and accuracy. God Bless You and Good Chance!Enjoy!
P.S: Not forget your good warm-up

So when I came across an assortment of seasonal flavors from Kraft's classic Jet-Puffed marshmallow brand, I knew it was time for an office taste test. Keep reading to find out what taste testers thought of mallow flavors like cinnamon bun and German chocolate cake. Pumpkin Spice Mallows What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We adored these squat pumpkin-shaped marshmallows at first sight. Biting into the spongy treat only sealed the deal, as their spicy flavors of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves were a spot-on representation of pumpkin pie. Try floating a few in a homemade pumpkin-spice latte for a festive Fall treat. 1 / 8 Chocolate Royale Marshmallows What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While these chocolate candies were delightful in theory, most tasters felt that they fell flat in practice. At best, they were reminiscent of "anemic hot cocoa." We couldn't get past their chalky texture and "generic brown flavor, [similar to] the way that cheap cherry lollypops taste red." One succinct taster summed her feelings up with a simple "Oof." 2 / 8 Jumbo StarMallows What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Chipper and charming, these jumbo marshmallows tasted nearly identical to Jet-Puffed's traditional vanilla variety, only with a slightly firmer texture. While they'd be perfect for patriotic s'mores, detractors felt that their wonky star shape could have been executed better. 3 / 8 Chocolate Mint Marshmallows What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While we had high hopes for these swirled confections, they were a near-universal flop. Chalky, "not minty enough," and plagued by a "muddled, artificial taste," they were almost universally panned; one taster even spit hers out in disgust. 4 / 8 German Chocolate Cake Mallow Bites What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Coconut-lovers couldn't keep their hands off of these treats inspired by the classic dessert. One minor gripe: the chocolate flavor plays second fiddle to their copious coating of flaky, toasted coconut. 6 / 8 Cinnamon Bun Marshmallows What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 By and large, we were disappointed by this "superbland" take on the breakfast bite. Tasters felt that they "tasted like nothing," or worse, like soap, and wished that their cinnamon flavor was more pronounced. 6 / 8 Ice Cream Cone Mallow Bites What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While these dainty Neapolitan marshmallows were aesthetically pleasing, tasters were ambivalent about their actual flavor. Fans of the original Jet-Puffed marshmallows will find comfort in the vanilla cones, as well as the mildly flavored chocolate version, whose flavors were difficult to differentiate. While inoffensive, the strawberry versions could stand to have more bite. 7 / 8 Toasted Coconut Marshmallows What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While these paled in comparison to the German chocolate cake minimallows, those who love coconut found these fair. Despite a generous coating of toasted coconut, many found their flavor a touch artificial and griped over their aggressively toothsome texture. 8 / 8 13 6 2 2 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More MarshmallowsFood ShoppingTaste TestFood News taste test We Tasted 10 Chocolate Easter Bunnies So You Don't Have To 1 week ago Matzo Marshmallow Treats Make Passover So Much Sweeter 1 week ago Ranking M&M's: Which Comes in at No. 1? 2 weeks ago The Best of the Best New Food Snacks 2 weeks ago The Only 2 Items You Should Order Off the Taco Bell Breakfast Menu 4 weeks ago Our Favorite Yogurts in the Land 3/17 Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Their shapes were like big lucky charms but it was hard to figure out what they really were trying to do. The flavors were just okay but the orange tasted exactly like a circus peanut candy.

what're those holes in the counter for?? this is a very pretty kitchen. i normally do not like farmhouse sinks, but it works! i'm very impressed!
I'm dying to know about the holes in the counter too. The kitchen pics in the tour didn't have any captions!
Me too! More info, please!!
Does anyone know anything about the colorful flatware pictured? They look like awesome pieces for every day use (if they're not super expensive).
Ps- The hole looks like it's over a bin. Maybe it's for trash from food prep?
very nice. love the peak into the silverware drawers
I love the lid to the garbage can in the counter!
Such a simple and beautiful kitchen.
I have seen cutouts in countertops for compost buckets as well. The one in his countertop seems a little small for a garbage bin.

Have more examples. Although this book was very easy to understand, I would have liked to see more examples. English is my second language and I feel that more examples would have helped me more.read more
This book was very clear on how to write papers. It had different chapters about different kinds of essays and it definitely was handy.
The class was a very chatty class. My previous professor used this book to show us how they say and how I say. this was for my english 101read more
A video on speech grammar. this book was fun to read but having a video would be more visually interesting. Another thing that can make it better is a website for interactive use. Basically have an interactive section to the book.
I would make it more student friendly. Right now it reads more like a novel and having used it as a textbook made it a weird read. If they outlined their points a little more carefully and really were elaborate in what exactly they wanted us to do instead of being repetitive, this book would have been a 5 star read.read more
It was Writing 1020, all College Students have to take this class and our teacher taught it with a focus in persuasive writing. We had to write 3 essays and the fourth one was a culminitive essay collaborating all the 3 different skills we learned in the past essay into one take home final. It was a great class taught by Prof. Robinson and I would take it again. I would say this book was the core of the class and I even read it outside of class because it was just a fun read. Great course; Great book
The most interesting thing I learned with this book is how to write and essay and sentences properly.read more
Everything. This book helped me write my essays and also helped me replace repetitive words with other useful ones.
Beyond better than books I have read on this matter, discusses alot of things helps with communication with other great great book,read more
I learned a lot of things from this book, Its a amazing book to have read and I hope it is more to come like this in the future, excellent
I think that if the reading sections and the exercises weren't so long it would be better because sometimes I lost focus cause it was too long to read or do.read more
The part of this book on how to transition was least helpful to me because it was saying the same things I had heard in high school a million times. I'm in college now I'd like something different and more challenging.

MOUNT VERNON An American Success Story in Fredericktown, Ohio will be the topic for the Wednesday meeting of the Knox County Historical Society, at 7:30 p.m. at the museum, 875 Harcourt Road.
As the subtitle to the recently published history of the Kokosing Construction Co. suggests, it is the story of how two men turned work into jobs, so that they could feed their families. Others joined them along the way, turning it into Ohios largest construction contractor and one of the construction industry leaders in the United States of America.
It is also the story of founder Bill Burgett, who, with the help of many mentors, friends and family members, grew the company over a 60-year period into a workforce that now provides jobs for nearly 2,500 people. From its early days of building and remodeling houses, barns, churches and schools, Kokosing today builds interstate highways, bridges, stadiums, parking garages, and manufacturing and marine facilities.
The illustrated program will be presented by James Fox, who worked closely with the books author, Glenn Myers, in gathering photos and related information for the 60-year history of Kokosing Construction. The program is free and open to the public, and all persons interested in local history are invited to attend. For more information, call the museum at 740-393-5247.

Throw out your meeting facility guides and hotel brochures. Stop faxing or overnight-mailing your request for proposals. These inefficient paper-based means of finding and booking meeting facilities are rapidly giving way to Web products that are faster, more convenient, and richer in detail.
The first online RFP appeared in January 1996 when the Radisson Miyako Hotel San Francisco offered a simple meeting space request form. Since then, Web sites have sprung up with searchable meeting facility databases, automated RFP forms, "hot dates," and, most recently, online auctions.
Since these sites vary considerably, this two-part column (part two will appear in CMI's March issue) will help you sort them out. It includes all the major sites (and some of the minor ones), with detailed information on site size, usefulness, pricing models, and special features.
AllMeetings http://www.allmeetings.com *Hotel and Meeting Facility Database--AllMeetings lists 4,000 hotels, fewer than half of what some of the larger sites offer. A search for "Seattle area" yielded 42 not-very-complete listings. For example, two major meeting properties in Seattle (the Westin and the Sheraton) didn't come up. Also, many listings had only basic information--no photos, floor plans, or other meeting-related details.
*Filtering--Under "Venue Search," you can filter by U.S. region, state and metro area, minimum capacity, number of guest rooms, star rating, hotel type, and amenities such as golf, fitness center, business services.
*RFP--AllMeetings provides an online RFP form that is sent to its in-house site selection staff. Users request meeting space, sleeping room, catering and contact information, and contact method, and receive a response in 24 to 48 hours.
*Hot Dates/Rates/Space-- These listings are not as complete as some other sites'; for example, searching "The Southwest" for the first three months of 2000 yielded only seven results.
*Additional Features--This site incorporates a "budget estimator" right from the start, asking for air travel information, catering information, and desired room rates. It then prepares a detailed budget for your meeting. The site also offers eight checklists, including information on everything from setup to follow-up.
EventSource http://www. eventsource.com (Also accessible through Trade Show Central http://www.tscentral.com) *Hotel and Meeting Facility Database--This site lists more than 10,000 total properties and is especially good at including non-hotel venues. Searching in Seattle, I found a total of 115 venues. Meeting facility information includes a picture of the property, a profile, and a full list of meeting space dimensions and capacities. Floor plans are sometimes included. A review section allows people to comment on properties they've used.
*Filtering--The facilities can be searched by name, city, region, facility type, number of guest rooms, golf availability, beach availability, and four- or five-star/diamond rating.
*RFP--The "Bookit" RFP form asks for contact information, event dates, desired location, rate, sleeping rooms, meeting space needed, food and beverage, and group history.
The RFP is distributed by e-mail and batch faxed to qualifying hotels. EventSource follows up with the hotel and promises quotes with rates within 24 to 48 hours by e-mail. A special feature allows users to archive and retrieve past RFPs for future events.
*Hot Dates/Rates/Space--EventSource has an extensive search engine. A search on all hot dates for the year 2000 yielded 1,777 listings.
*Additional Features--EventSource offers a destination guide, including links for maps, airports, weather, golf, attractions, restaurants, and event supplies. It rolled out the first online auction for meeting space, which may be just the ticket, especially for short-term, small-group business.
Hot Dates/Hot Rates http://www.hotdateshotrates.com *Hotel and Meeting Facility Database--Includes about 1,500 listings. A search of Seattle yielded 11 properties.
*Filtering--You can search by city, state/region/country, individual property, and hotel chain.
*RFP--RFPs go directly to hotels by e-mail or fax, or users can choose the "Tracker" feature, which submits their RFPs to Helms Briscoe Performance Group, a third-party site selection firm, to do the searching (10-room minimum).
*Hot Dates/Rates/Space--Searchable by city, state/ region/country, individual property, and hotel chain.
MADSearch International, Inc. www.madsearch.com *Hotel and Meeting Facility Database--More than 4,500 meeting facilities are listed here. For Seattle, I found 44. Hotel information includes number of meeting rooms and square footage of the largest room. Some listings include site descriptions, pictures, meeting space specifications and diagrams, menus, and a hotlink to the facility's Web site.
*Filtering--The MadSuperSearch filters for golf, fitness centers, and other amenities.
*RFP--Includes fill-in boxes for contact information and a general comment for meeting request information. Information goes to the hotel for free (via e-mail or fax) and is followed up by MADSearch.
*Hot Dates/Rates/Space--This site offers a free weekly e-mail newsletter that features special rates and dates, but only from properties that pay.
Meeting City Inc. http://www.meetingcity.com *Hotel and Meeting Facility Database--This site claims the largest searchable hotel database on the Web, with 60,000 properties. It's strong on non-U.S. destinations and smaller properties but doesn't include details on meeting space. A non-hotel supplier database has more than 10,800 listings in 59 categories.
*Filtering--The basic search criteria are city and facility name.
*RFP--An online form is fed to a site-selection service that requires a 10-room minimum. RFPs are provided for meeting facilities, corporate cruises, air charters, and Caribbean estates.
*Hot Dates/Rates/Space--None
Meeting Locations http://www.meetinglocations.com *Hotel and Meeting Facility Database--1,000 properties are listed in the online database, with plans to expand to 1,500. I found four hotels when searching Seattle.
*Filtering--Searches can be narrowed by state, city, total meeting space, square footage of the largest meeting room, and number of peak room nights.
*Hot Dates/Rates/Space--Hotels will have a password-protected area where they can update listings.
Coming in March Site reviews in March will include: MeetingPath (www.meetingpath.com), PlanSoft (www.plansoft.com), Site Search 2000 (www.sitesearch2000.com), SmartRFP (www.smartrfp.com), and StarCite (www.starcite.com).
What to Look For in a Web site 1. Hotel and Meeting Facility Database--The more comprehensive the database, the better. The biggest sites have more than 10,000 meeting facility listings. In this article, I used a sample city, Seattle, as a benchmark.
2. Filtering--The more filtering capability, the better. If you want a four-star hotel with 800 sleeping rooms and a meeting room of at least 10,000 square feet, in a warm climate with a business center and golf, you will need a site that can sort by these criteria.
3. RFP--Some sites allow you to fill out a single request form and send it to selected hotels electronically. Others are nothing more than online forms to generate leads for a third-party firm. Still others distribute leads directly to the hotels or CVB. A few let you save your RFP for future use.
4. Hot Dates/Rates/Space--Web sites are increasingly being used to broadcast rapidly changing hotel inventory, but they can vary considerably in how effectively they do so.

PBS Station WOSU@COSI Selects Max Air Console as Part of Transition to Digital
New Digital Audio Console Is Central to TV and Radio Operations
WOSU, a PBS affiliate licensed and operated by Ohio State University, recently moved into its new digital media center in the city's Center of Science and Industry (COSI), one of the country's major children's science centers. The venerable station, which for years has produced a variety of radio and television programming for the community—including programs such as the public affairs shows Viewpoint and Columbus on the Record—is now in a state-of-the-art showcase facility that is as much a hands-on science museum as it is a top-notch production center. At the center of this exciting new groundbreaking venture, officially known as WOSU@COSI, is a brand-new Max Air Digital Audio Mixing System.
Designed with future expansion in mind, WOSU@COSI's new Max Air console supports 106 channels, 24 program busses, 24 group/mix minus busses, 16 aux busses, 24 microphone preamps, 24 line level analog inputs, 24 pairs (48 channels) of AES/EBU digital I/O, and 24 line level analog outputs (not counting the monitor section)—all of which is housed in a 16+8 fader configuration. The mixing desk was purchased in May 2006 and installation of the system was completed in October 2006, with integration handled by Communications Engineering, Inc. (CEI) of Washington, D.C.
For the greater Columbus community, WOSU@COSI opens the doors to the exciting new world of digital broadcast. Guests to the facility are able to view TV and radio broadcast productions in progress through a series of large glass viewing areas that provide glimpses into both the station's studios and control rooms. Additionally, visitors can experience exciting hands-on digital media activities, exhibits and media literacy workshops as part of the WOSU@COSI experience.
"We handle a lot of programming—both radio and TV—and the new Max Air console will enable us to expand into new areas," John J. Prosek, WOSU@COSI's TV broadcast manager, said. "We anticipate adding more music productions, additional local shows and, hopefully, more series programming. We plan to be a major producer of non-sports OSU related programming for the Big Ten Channel, a national network devoted to Big Ten athletic and academic programs. The new facilities open a wealth of opportunity for us and our new Max Air will be central to much of this activity."
We handle a lot of programming—both radio and TV—and the new Max Air console will enable us to expand into new areas
Among its numerous features, the WOSU evaluation team was particularly impressed with the Max Air's touchscreen interface, the PatchNet on-screen digital routing system, which replaces a conventional patchbay and handles all console inputs, outputs and internal routing as well as the Superchannel function that enables any channel to be brought to the console's center for detailed control adjustments and graphics display of EQ, Dynamics, Pan and additional system parameters. "The Max Air's touchscreen interface, Superchannel and PatchNet features facilitate an entirely new way of working," Prosek said. "As we get acclimated to the new system, I'm confident these features will significantly streamline workflow for us."
While the WOSU staff has been working with their new Max Air for just a short time, they've already become enamored with its intuitive design—particularly its layout function, which enables individual operators to configure channel signal paths in relation to the physical channel strips. Layouts can be named and recalled at the push of a button and they enable the engineer to logically assemble sources for instant recall. "The Max Air's layout feature is a real time saver," Prosek said, "as it gives us the ability to configure the console for any show or event and then recall that setup and be ready to go on a moment's notice."
Prosek was equally enthusiastic about his experience with Avid customer and technical support. "Most of our initial information came by way of the CEI integration staff, then after installation, Avid Product Specialist James Tunnicliffe spent a considerable amount of time training our staff," Prosek said. "He was extremely thorough and subsequent questions have been addressed in a very responsive manner. I also had the opportunity to meet several other Avid staffers during this year's NAB show and, again, the entire team made every effort to ensure that our questions were being handled expediently. I look forward to developing a long-term business relationship with the company."
As a university-affiliated station, WOSU@COSI also has students working at the facility, and Prosek believes their exposure to the Max Air will be a positive point for future career development. "I believe the opportunity to work on a console of this nature will be a very important and beneficial experience for our students when they enter the market for a job," Prosek said. "By being able to demonstrate they have work experience behind a Avid console, I'm confident they will be taken seriously. Our Max Air is a positive step for both our present broadcast operations as well as the development of future broadcast professionals."
Avid has a successful client relationship with many PBS stations in the US including installations with KCET Los Angeles, KQED San Francisco, WEDU Tampa, WTVS Detroit, WMHT Schenectady, KOPB Portland, MPTV Milwaukee and WIPR in Puerto Rico.

It would be nice if there were maps available for the turists and some advice about what is worth seeing would be also nice. Nobody told us what time we should check out so in the morning somebody entered our room asking whether we are going to stay there one more night. More information at the check in would be appreciated.
