LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - Two men have given up their fight to remove crosses from the logo of Las Cruces, New Mexico, after appellate judges refused to rehear their lawsuit.
The city's name means "the crosses" in Spanish.
Paul Weinbaum, who's Jewish, and Martin Boyd, who's an atheist,
had argued that the crosses on the logo violate separation of church and state.
Mayor Ken Miyagishima says he was pleased the men have decided
to end their effort. He says the crosses are not religious, but reflect "the history of the city of Las Cruces and nothing else."

"Typically young men that have been raised by their fathers on a dairy have seen the toils and strife their fathers have experienced. They're more educated. There's more opportunity outside of the farm."
John Cowan is the director for the Texas Association of Dairymen and says that attrition is only one factor affecting the dairy count in Texas.
"The price of land. The encroachment of the urban communities moving in. Those types of influences will have a bigger effect on moving dairies out of this area."
Some dairies have re-located.
"What we have seen is a trend of the dairy industry moving from the east and going west."
"Land values are more available to them. Feed supplies are better, from the standpoint of forage and corn."
But Cowan believes east Texas dairies are still viable.
"An east Texas dairy that's got land that can be grazed can be as cost efficient, the bottom line as positive as a west Texas dairy, if they've managed and they've gotten their operation to the size, not carry a lot of debt load."
"These dairies are closer to the market. There is some cost involved in moving milk, cost involved in transportation of moving feed."
So we haven't seen the eradication of the family dairy. In many cases they've simply moved. I'm Joe Brown, looking at Brazos Valley agriculture, From the Ground Up.

Marketing and the Bottom Line: The Marketing Metrics to Pump Up Cash Flow / Edition 2by Tim. Ambler
Pub. Date: 03/30/2004
Publisher: FT Press
"The subject is critically important and Ambler's ideas are provocative."

" Far and away the best book for a senior manager who is interested in understanding marketing's impact on his or her organization."

"The subject is critically important and Ambler's ideas are provocative."
Philip Kotler
" Far and away the best book for a senior manager who is interested in understanding marketing's impact on his or her organization."
Journal of Marketing, January 04
Marketing really isn't different, and it really isn't impossible to measure. It¿s an investment. Unless you can measure its impact, you're wasting your money.
Select the right metrics for your company and ensure a regular assessment of marketing by top management in order to keep performance on track. Here, for the first time, is a book that explains the "why" as well as the "what" and the "how" of marketing metrics.
How much attention does your board give to the sources of cash flow? Perhaps what gets measured is not always what gets done but it's a start. This book explains the reasons for regular marketing assessment by the whole board, key marketplace metrics, and assessing the firm's state of innovation health. Improved marketing requires employees to change what they do, and the way that they do it.
Most companies don't have a clear picture of their marketing performance. Now is the time to see what you are doing. Clarity of goals and assessment of performance separate the professional from the amateur; and only the professionals win.
"It is time that marketing stood up and was counted. Literally. This book is the enabler. It's not full of prescriptive rules. Instead it poses questions to ask, suggests possible measurements to make and details experiences from real companies. It does not suffer from consultant speak and is grounded in the reality of the struggle to "make marketing accountable. It is important for the future of marketing."
Market Leader
"A blue print for the marketer to impress his or her boss in how to measure the value of their efforts. Numbers haven't been so much fun for a long time. Buy this book." Brand Republic
"Marketers need to be far more accountable, and this book shows them not just how to provide measures of success but also how to achieve top management consensus about marketing investment. " Ken Bishop, Director of Marketing, IBM UK
"This is a succinct, witty and mould-breaking book on a very important topic. It should be read by all senior managers and marketers." Professor Hugh Davidson, Cranfield School of Management
"This book is a big step forward in assessing marketing impact - an area which is short of regular performance management." Sir John Egan, CBI

Smart Summer Buys
Summer Buyers' Guide: Clothing & Sandals
Slip your summer feet into pretty sandals and flip-flops, and check out the range of summer clothing that provides protection from the sun. You can even add SPF in your laundry.
Fashion for your feet and the rest of you is always more fun in the summer. Here's what's hot in clothing and sandal styles.
Recommended Related to HB Shape & Style
Undergo a head-to-toe grooming session: mani, pedi, bikini wax, leg and underarm shave. You'll feel fresh, pretty, and almost new. Put on that expensive matching bra and underwear set that fits you just right. Sure, no one can see your lingerie beneath your clothes, but you'll feel sexy knowing it's there. Go shoe shopping. Hey, your shoe size will never go up! Put on a little eye makeup. Just because you're having a bad body-image day doesn't mean you can't have an "I feel pretty"...
Read the 13 Body-Image Boosters article > >
Summer Clothing with SPF Washed or Built In
Dressing stylishly -- but sensibly -- is easier this summer than ever before. For starters, it makes sense to choose clothing with a tight weave or knit, which deliver a higher SPF. Here's how to tell: Hold the material up to a window or lamp and see how much light gets through. Darker clothes also generally have a higher SPF.
Remember that your average light-colored cotton shirts provide an SPF of only about 4 -- and they're practically useless once they get wet. All garments lose about a third of their sun-protective ability when drenched with moisture.
To make your summer clothing as protective as possible, Audrey Kunin, MD, a dermatologist in Kansas City, Mo., suggests throwing a packet of RIT sun guard in with your laundry to increase UV protection in clothing. "This way you can wash SPF 30 into all your washable clothing," she says.
But that's not all. Smart clothing that has UV protection already built in is now readily available. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation based in New York City, such clothing contains colorless compounds, fluorescent brighteners, or specially treated resins that absorb UV rays. As a result, the clothing often provides an SPF of 30 or higher.
And there may be more in the way of functional clothing this summer. You may have read about "magical" anti-cellulite clothing including pantyhose, shorts, pants and shoes that will get rid of cottage-cheese buttocks and thighs for good.
But buyer beware. "This is sort of the emperor wearing no clothes except in this variation, the emperor is wearing cellulite panties," says Bruce E. Katz, MD, medical director of the JUVA Skin and Laser Center in New York City. "It just doesn't do anything. You can't see any difference. But if you want to wear them, go right ahead.
"Basically these clothing items contain creams and by wearing the pants, you build up heat, which may increase penetration of the creams. The shoes were originally designed as orthopaedic shoes and are meant to re-create the natural gait of folks who walk barefoot for distances on uneven surface. As such, they have a curved sole that forces you to use muscles you probably didn't know you had. Bottom line: "caveat emptor," Katz says.

A Practical Approach to a Multi-Channel Future for Broadcast Television
There has been a proliferation of multi-channel standards proposed for the new media. There are many of us in Television who have only just made the transition to stereo, and the reaction to any number of surround sound channels is often to say -it's not practical for real live television-.: : In fact, it is not practical for us to ignore the onset of broadcast multi-channel surround sound and this paper explains how we tackled the problems caused by surround at Central TV, and how the solutions lead on to a possible approach to the higher order surround systems.

City Under Siege (simplified Chinese: 全城戒备; traditional Chinese: 全城戒備) is a 2010 Hong Kong science fiction action film directed and co-written by Benny Chan. The film follows a group of circus performers who goes on a rampage after an accidental exposure to chemical gas left by the Japanese army in World War II, granting them superhuman abilities.[3][4]
Sunny is the orphaned child of a former knife throwing master. After his father's death, he is taken in by his uncle, who allows him to perform as a clown, since he did not inherit his father's knife throwing skills. Sunny still wants to be a knife thrower, though. He is tormented by his cousins, who are all performers in his uncle's troupe.
Many years ago, somewhere in Malaysia, when the Japanese are experimenting on some gases that mutate people, their lab explodes, killing everyone inside.
One day, Sunny overhears a plan the rest of the troupe a making to explore a cave, rumored to be filled with gold. Instead of killing Sunny, they use him as the point man for their expedition. They find crates filled with capsules and force Sunny to open them. Inside the first are numerous plates of gold. They then try to kill Sunny, and continue opening the rest of the capsules, which end up containing experimental gas which transforms them into superhuman monsters. Sunny accidentally killed one of the troupe member's younger brother and he escaped the group's wrath. But he also got exposed on the gas and collapses on a smuggler's ship heading to Hong Kong. He was thrown overboard when the crew discovered him.
A few days later,Angel,a reporter discovered him,in his fat form after he woke up from his coma. He was driven to a safe house somewhere.While sleeping,Sunny drains his fat and excess water. He woke up as his normal form,but with heightened senses. He tried to call his uncle,but shocked when his uncle was arrested by the Malaysian police for the incident while he was interrupted by incessant mosquitoes flying to him.
Meanwhile,several armored cars,banks and jewelry shops was blown and several millions were stolen by unidentified persons and several medical experts was abducted. A mutant couple acted as a group of detectives investigates the matter.
Angel was fired on her own program for a newer one. And while she's walking,she saw a hostage drama. Sunny also saw the scene and uses a stick to disarm the hostage taker. He became an instant hero,but also blowing his position to his mutated former troupe members. He was also became an instant star and endorser when he was interviewed by Angel herself. The troupe tried to kill him for his blood,believed to be the antidote for the virus. The attack was repelled and one mutated member was killed,but exposed Sunny's weakness to cold. The mutant detective couple decided that they are to be Sunny's bodyguards.
In one commercial shoot,he was attacked by the troupe again,nearly killing Sunny and Angel escaped,but another member died by burning. Sunny recovers while away and trains under the detective for the inevitable showdown between the two.

We are currently drafting a document around 'Community Process' , that we intend to use for the Smart Client program. You'll see it coming up in the gotdotnet workspace for Smart Client soon. As I was writing it I imagined how the name by itself could convey some wrong messages. So what will this community process be about?
The community process will be about:
- Having more predictability of p&p. Have you ever wondered what we are working on? Have you wished we would have @#! told you we were about to release something? The http://www.microsoft.com/practices site does a good job of keeping you up to date on up-and-coming projects, but you can do little but guess what will be coming out. Being more predictable gives you a chance to plan with a p&p roadmap in mind.
- Improved traceability to requirements. Sometimes folks ask me why did you do this block this way? or that way? We try to capture a lot of the design rationale for blocks in the 'design' section of the docs, but sometimes the nitty-gritty decisions aren't really easy to trace to a set of requirements. Sometimes, I feel if we had exposed design decisions earlier (and more explicitly) we could have gotten better feedabck. The UIP v1 back button story comes to mind. By exposing decisions earlier we hope we help you give a vote - is this useful, for you?
- Exposing heroes & experts. We have worked with amazoing people during the course of p&p projects. We feel that we would all benefit more if we could 'open the window' to the projects and let you see what is built & how by these amazing teams.
- Giving you earlier access - Many users of blocks & guides are under tight timelines and they can't wait for our release date. Others just reuse some design concepts and a little code, not the full shebang. We want to help this important set of customers by exposing them to our earlier work. We hope to get more feedback early, but most importantly, we care that we help you get your dayjob done.
- Better participation by using iterations- we have been increasingly using iterations, unit testing, and other practices from agile practices as a building blocks of our lifecycle at p&p (See the myriad of blogs from the entlib team). We can have higher-quality results, earlier, by following these practices. So why not share it out? Executing projects as iterations can help us support all of the above goals (predictability, transparency, who's who and earlier reuse).
So these are the goals. We expect to learn from the best & worse of our own community efforts, and put them out for your input. I'll talk about the shape of the process itself (phases, iterations, roles etc) in some other post.
But to make it clear - what is this process NOT about?- It's NOT about having all development being done 'by community' - in this version, you could think of it as opening the doors & windows into the workshop- It's NOT about discontinuing all the things and guarantees you like in p&p assets - Testing, Product Group reviews for correctness and alignment w tech directions, docs, installers, etc- It's NOT about 'starting to work with community' but rather having a uniform way of doing so in the Smart Client program- lots of other projects (Shadowfax/EDRA, Application Blocks, Guides, patterns etc) have been working with a lot of community involvement.
Sounds good? What should we make sure we do? What should we avoid?
Thanks - Jumping back into the fray in 10..9..8..

I am a 42 year old woman living with Stage IV lung cancer. I advocate tirelessly for this disease, as I have learned that anyone can get lung cancer.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I see the public emphasis of the smoking-cessation campaigns undermining the progress in funding research for lung cancer. The over-emphasis on smoking-cessation (which I might also argue the effectiveness of the dollars spent there) actually focuses people on the stigma and the blame, versus working toward effective treatments and a cure. Eradicating smoking, which would make a positive impact on people's health in MULTIPLE areas, would not eradicate lung cancer. I'd still be dying of it...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Not work so hard to remind the public to blame people for their lung cancer...progress is set back because people feel justified sending their money elsewhere and neglecting the disease further. Work as hard on lung cancer as on other lung diseases. Make smoking-cessation programs about more than lung cancer...partner with other organizations for breast cancer, bladder cancer, and heart disease to coordinate smoking-cessation message (ever notice that they don't go out of their way to make that link??).

Fisher's View- Poets in Naples - America's Cup WS - Race Day 2
by Bob Fisher on 20 Apr 2013
Artemis Racing White places seventh overall for this April 19, 2013 day of racing on the Bay of Napoli in Italy for the ACWS.
Bob Fisher, one of the world's top international yachting journalists, and certainly the top writer on the America's Cup, is in Naples, Italy for the America's Cup World Series.
Bob is a multihuller from way back, having won the 1967 Little America's Cup, with Peter Schneidau on Lady Helmsman, and has been covering the America's Cup since 1967.
He writes:
Day 4: Friday in Naples - Race Day 2
[Sorry, this content could not be displayed]
With the gentle breeze hardly disturbing the surface of Naples Bay, ACRM supremo, Iain Murray delivered the official forecast: 'Lighter than yesterday – seven to eleven knots from 210-240 degrees.' La Bella Napoli was beginning to run true to form.
Murray went on to explain the penalty system in use for those unfamiliar with the LiveLine system pioneered by Stan Honey and his team. Racing AC-45s over 'Stadium' courses is a very different beast from more usual regattas and the electronic control, including course boundaries, is essential. Boats are accurately tracked to within 20 millimetres ten times a second and Murray after a lengthy explanation to the natives, spoke volumes in an aside: 'We need to survive – we need to do this.'
It all arose from a penalty imposed on Tom Slingsby yesterday for a boundary infringement. The whole process of how the boundaries were marked and how the sailors received the necessary spatial information, had to be explained in detail – it is not complicated.
Yellow lights flash as the boundary is approached and the flashes are faster the closer the boat gets, finally becoming solid if the boundary is crossed. The lights are readily visible to the skippers and crews and they also get a blue light, to slow down until the penalty is cleared. But it took time for the facts to be assimilated.
[Sorry, this content could not be displayed]
And so to racing . . . and the breeze was there exactly as promised. First up was the quarter-final match for Luna Rossa – Swordfish in the hands of Francesco Bruni and Dean Barker in ETNZ. It promised much, and delivered. Barker forced Bruni over early and after the Italian had taken his penalty, ETNZ led by five seconds at the first mark and held that to the leeward gate.
On the beat the NZ lead stretched to 70 metres, but the shoreline side (to the right) was less favoured as the beat progressed and as the two boats went to the left hand gate, Luna Rossa – Swordfish, on port, was inside the three-boat circle first and collided with the starboard tacked ETNZ. The penalty was awarded against the Kiwis and Bruni was able to sail away to a 14 second victory – one against the book!
The second match race contained its excitement to the pre-start. Tom Slingsby with Oracle went for his opponent Roman Hagara in HR Racing and inflicted a windward/leeward penalty in the first minute and almost a second before the start. Then the Austrians had to hold back, taking their penalty, as Slingsby sailed away to a relatively easy victory, 34 seconds ahead.
The line up for the semi-finals in now set. Ben Ainslie's BAR will meet Slingsby's Oracle in something of an in-house match, while there will be another totally in-house match in the other between the two Luna Rossa boats, Piranha and Swordfish – Draper against Bruni.
[Sorry, this content could not be displayed]
The first fleet race proved a triumph for Tom Slingsby, but it was Francesco Bruni who was to lead for more than half the race. He won the start when Barker was penalized for being three feet over early! Luna Rossa – Swordfish made a further gain by going right up the first beat (along the shoreline). It also paid for Slingsby, who was very close as the two led the fleet through the windward gate.
Bruni gained big time downwind to be 18 seconds clear at the start of the second windward leg. The Kiwis, and Ben Ainslie, who was left for dead at the start, has begun a long climb back, into fifth and sixth places, but it was Yann Guichard who was making the most impression in the second half for the French Energy Team. He moved close to Slingsby upwind and stayed with him downwind as both went past Bruni. Finishing in that order, with Chris Draper fourth, changed to order at the top of the leaderboard, notably as ETNZ and J.P.Morgan BAR were fifth and sixth.
Four boats were OCS at the next start, among them both ETNZ and BAR, and they were back in the pack around the leeward mark and a long hill to climb. Yann Guichard led the fleet away and never once appeared in any difficulty of holding that lead. Luna Rossa Swordfish was forced to retire with damage to her bowsprit, no doubt resultant damage from the collision with ETNZ in the first (match) race of the day.
Both Barker and Ainslie did improve from the back of the fleet but neither could have been totally happy at the end of the day – gone were the first and second positions overall, giving way to the day's top boats, Oracle – Slingsby and the Energy team, each with a first and second place. Their 3 & 4 in the second race was better than the 5 & 6 in the first.
Overall points after four races:
1. Oracle – Slingsby 2,6,1,2, 38
2. Energy Team 7,3,2,1 36
4. J.P.Morgan BAR 3,1,6,4 35
5. Luna Rossa – Piranha 4,2,4,5 33
6. Luna Rossa – Swordfish 5,5,3,DNF 23
7. Artemis 6,7,7,7 21
8. HS Racing 8,9,8,6 17
9. China Team 9,8,9,8 14

America's Cup - Glenn Ashby on Emirates Team NZ's road to Bermuda
Part 2 of the interview with Emirates Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby.
In this part of the interview we look at what is going to happen once Emirates Team NZ get their 'AC49.5' sailing in Auckland, and how the campaign may shape up before they leave for Bermuda. Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

Although they will be one of the last of the six teams to launch an AC45 Surrogate, Emirates Team New Zealand may have stolen a march with a boat that is as close as you can get to an AC50.

TC For Shoes stands tall with launch of UK website
TC for Shoes is a range of heel protectors designed to extend the life of high-heeled shoes. Stiletto heels are easily damaged and worn away, and it can be expensive to repair them. With prices starting at £3.90, TC for Shoes products cost less than half the price of heel repair and protect the heel for up to three times longer than traditional heel screws.
Anne-Marie Pharisier, the company's founder, came up with the concept for TC for Shoes after experiencing a recurring problem with her favourite pair of shoes. She says, "It all started with my blue shoes. They were a beautiful pair of shoes with laces and a brooch detail, and a bargain at around €20. Unfortunately, after just three days of wearing them, I noticed that the heel was damaged, so I took them to the cobbler to be repaired. I was reluctant to pay €12 for two plastic heel screws, but I was determined to wear my shoes again."
She continues, "Just two weeks later, I made another trip to the cobbler, meaning I had spent more to repair the shoes than they originally cost to buy. When faced with the prospect of paying once again to repair the shoes, I decided to find my own solution, cutting a small pen lid to size and using some putty to secure it to the damaged heel. That was when the idea for TC for Shoes first came to me. Three and a half years and 10 prototypes later, TC for Shoes was launched on 14 April 2012."
As well as protecting the heel from damage, the TC for Shoes range has been designed to offer a number of additional practical benefits. The first of these is comfort. TC for Shoes products are made from a thin layer of soft plastic, which provides an additional cushioned layer to the heel and offers more comfort to the wearer: as a result, stilettos can be worn for longer periods of time.
TC for Shoes also provides protection that no heel screw can equal. The heel clips have a non-slip base, which gives them improved stability, even on slippery surfaces, allowing the user to walk confidently without fear of falling. Finally, TC for Shoes provides sound insulation for heels, eliminating the tapping noise made when walking on hard surfaces.
Whereas a traditional heel screw amounts to a short-term practical solution for worn and damaged heels, TC for Shoes offers esthetical advantages to the user. Available in a range of four sizes and 11 different colours, the Talon Clip® and Talon Chic® ranges deliver a style unmatched by any traditional heel screw.
With the Talon Clip® range, the user can choose to match the product to the heel colour for discreet repair and protection, or select a contrasting colour as an accessory in order to create a variety of looks. The Talon Chic® collection is designed specifically with fashion in mind and includes intricate designs and motifs, including bows, roses, jewels and snakes.
Please click below (on the image) in order to view a selection of TC for Shoes products (short video-clip produced by the company).
Whether for comfort, stability, protection or style, TC for Shoes offers a modern-day solution to an age-old problem for a very reasonable price.
The full range of TC for Shoes products and prices is available at www.tc-for-shoes.com.

Thoughts I had while taking a dump and reading Nancy Drew
The most offensive blog ever is going to have to wait. It turned out to be a little bit of a mess and I want to rework it. (Well all my blogs are a mess this was just really bad.) So I decided to throw out some random thoughts which I haven't done in months.
But because every single person that has a blog on the internet posts a thing called random thoughts I have decided to change my random thought column title to:
Thoughts I had while taking a dump and reading Nancy Drew
It just has a certain ring to it.
It was actually shortened from its original title: Thoughts I had while taking a dump and reading Nancy Drew while wiping my ass with the work of JRR Tolkien.
-Why doesn't the government do studies on things I want to know about? Like who has children more recklessly African Americans on welfare, Mormons, or Latino Catholics?
- Has anyone had a better movie career than Larry B. Scott? Karate Kid, Space Camp, Revenge of the Nerds, and Iron Eagle I would put those four movies up against anyone's career. Plus he was technically the first gay hero in any movie:
- I think expectant mother parking is the biggest crock of shit ever, first of all how can you prove if you are pregnant or not. Is it wrong that every time I see a female park there I want to punch them in the stomach to see their reaction? I know if they openly weep and scream, "My baby" that they weren't lying and deserve the spot.
- If Ann Coulter wasn't blonde and somewhat attractive (despite her huge Adams Apple) wouldnt she just be the equivalent of some crazy homeless guy?
- I think I have figured out that the only good Asian driver ever was:
He could drive a tricycle like no other…. Drunk no less.
(yes that was two "Revenge of the Nerds" references in the same blog)
-Is every tropical storm going to be major news throughout hurricane season this year? It's totally going to be the new blonde girl missing story. I don't care about either thing. Unless the blonde girls was Paris Hilton so I could openly root for a hacked up body being found.
- In the last two weeks I had my back waxed, cuticles messed with, a grey patch died, and I watched "Cassanova". At this point I am having some serious doubts about me. If I start fake tanning please end my life.
- I think I might go ahead and write a book entitled "What to Do with a Dead Hookers Body: And other things guys should know" Then maybe I could be the new Dr. Phil and give advice to guys and help them turn their lives around. Here are some show ideas:
How to snort cocaine of a strippers ass properly
How to beat that drunk driving charge
Roofies: How much is too much
Sorority Girls are Easy
Mother Theresa and Rosa Parks, it might have been the highest lesbian selling porno of all time
Retarded Girls, are they easier to score with?
How to shit on command so you can take a dump on your boss's chest
Part I-Selling the fact that Abortion is the best way to go
Part II- The wire coat hanger and it's many uses
What other show ideas could I go with?
(Kathy can I get a talley here?)

I Love This Dryer!
I have had this dryer for over 5 years and I love it! My mother-in-law bought it from her stylist for me for Christmas 5 years ago, and I have been hooked ever since! Since then I have also started using the 3500lite and the 1" flat iron, both by Solano. This is my favorite hair product brand by far. This dryer is dependable, powerful and hot. My hair stylists even uses it - I love the fact that I have a product to use at home that is trusted by my stylist as well! You will not be disappointed with this dryer - it has been around for years and years!

Oldest Living Blow Dryer !
This blow dryer is the most incredible. I purchased my last one 20 years ago and it just died. Hopefully, the one I just purchased will last as long. This red & black one is EXACTLY the same one I bought 20 years ago. Amazing. It must be a good seller to still carry it. It has wonderful heat and "fluff power", easy to handle, not too heavy and just all around a fantastic blow dryer. Who has a blow dryer that lasts' for 20 years ?! Karen

This is one of those places that you could not put your finger on the something was just not right about the place.
The foyer was quite nice and pleasant however after a while of sitting around and having a drink, the cracks would show through facade of the aura of the place.
The bar was of medium size relatively functional but nothing to set the world alight. The reception area was rather grim and fuddy duddy, It did not bode well with the rest of the downstairs area.
The downstairs toilets and cloakrooms looked like a children's party had attacked it and was somewhat disappointing on our first arrival day.
The rooms this is a case in point the small are small very small the medium and large rooms are ok but no room in this hotel is worth its tariff suggested charge of up to £250 per night.
There are very little or no views in these rooms only roof tops, against other hotels in the area this is not a plus point.
The rooms are of standard decor with a hessian style wall paper on the lower half, mine looked worn as though an animal had clawed it or cases rubbing against it. The upper walls was plain paper with a dado rail. There was a head board affair at the heads of the beds with the hotel logo in a picture frame style, that was not affixed properly. The wash rooms were small functional neat but small, It was difficult for someone 6 foot 1 to move about in.
The TV was a 14 inch LCD and mine was busted.
A word of caution the door buzzers on the rooms to these places sound like UK Electronic Fire Alarms, my wife had the living daylights scared out of her when someone activated the button.
The hotel charges £25 per week approximately for internet services, a very poor broadband signal and not worth the money, which should have been free of charge:
I walked to the top of the hotel to try to find the roof terrace and came across loads of paraphernalia bedding and junk stuffed in a fire exit corner it was NOT a good sight or impression.
The swimming pool area is above ground on the second floor quite nice but I was concerned as some rooms had fenced off baclonettes to it with a type of cloth affair.
My wfe was bitten to death by some type of fly, the bite marks scared her for over three months. They should spray the area with chemicals to kill the things: In august stay well clear of the foliage area near the pool and shower regularly at poolside.
The restaurant: The food was ok on a half board basis breakfast was the best meal of the day but cold all cold and continental the service in the restaurant was exceptional and the staff at this location were superlative. (I cannot say the same about the staff in the rest or other parts of the hotel): The evening meal was of a poor standard, for hotel that boasts a chef in the area as one of the top I found that somewhat confusing.
Starters were nice chose of about three dishes. Main course was meat, fish or a vegi choice basically two slices and a bit of veg and sauce: The puddings, desert or dolce was awful for hotel of this supposed quality the sweet was not appropriate, viennetta and pre packed puddings from a boxed wholesaler, that had no love in it at all:
I saw a number of wear and tear issues at the hotel in the restaurant like curtain tie back hooks hanging of the walls where the plaster had collapsed, attention to detail was amiss here.
This is not or nowhere near 4 star in my own personal opinion of which this review is based on if you come here with that in mind you WILL be disappointed.
This is a Posthouse/low end Hilton express premier lodge type of quality establishment and nothing else.
The beds were awful no further comment needed.
Sorrento is not what it used to be in days of old some 20 to 30 years ago. The Je Ne Sais Quoi or its mojo has been lost a little:
The Italians in the south are all too quick to relive you of your money, with a minimum amount of effort maximum amount of return attitude.
This place is riddled in UK based cheap and nasty coach holiday company tours the holiday makers are herded like sheep in a corner out of the way of the main guests and do not appear to get the same food.
The Thompson's hoilday makers appear to get better tables and treatment across the board.
The reception staff are little arrogant and some what over confident bordering on bombastic, don't bother trying to practice your Italian as they are too busy showing off their English. By the way there was not a lady or female member of staff in sight at the place. The lack of a pretty female receptionist was amiss in the place.
I am afraid that one or two of them spoilt the ambiance of the place across the board. This Is One Of Those Places that you cannot put your finger on something is or was not quite right about it. On the whole we found it quite annoying. If you get a deal on about £1100 per person for 14 days by flight than I would consider that fair value, go any other way or straight in through the door and you could get stung or be very disappointed this is a Caveat Emptor situation and being near Pompeii the Latin is most appropriate.
It is a very dark and statesmen like place with mahogany woods and trimmings abound:
It is just a shame that it is spoilt by over formality staff that appear to be a little too over officious in the process:
I would find somewhere a little more better and classy for your your money: Not Recommended:

Airs/La Sylphide - Spring 09 Season
Posted 18 June 2009 - 10:11 PM
Posted 19 June 2009 - 03:29 AM
That was the order of performance in D.C. in 2004. And on the same visit, when they paired La Sylphide with Napoli Act III, La Sylphide opened. In both cases I would have preferred the reverse order.
When I saw "La Sylphide" in Denmark a few years ago, it was before "Etudes".

For a few seasons when Baryshnikov was AD, ABT had a shortened version of Giselle, which they paired with a one-act ballet (I remember seeing it with Voluntaries). Giselle was always second.
And at City Ballet, the two-act Harlequinade always follows a shorter ballet.
Somehow, finishing the program with the shorter ballet doesn't feel right to me.
Posted 19 June 2009 - 10:00 AM
Like many others have noted here, Nancy Raffa was fierce as Madge, in a bloodcurdling portrayal. Ananiashvili danced an individual performance, more acting than mime-based, and her elevation isn't there, but I thought it was a deeply felt, fully realized characterization of a female creature who continuously invents ways to ensnare her male target. For the first time I saw that without the scarf, the physical gestures of submission would have been the Sylph's doom, if not immediately, since attaining the object long-term isn't the real point.
Hallberg, whom my friend aptly described as "a giant among Lilliputians", was the dancer from Bournonville's world, the world of ballon, clarity, and especially reversability. To watch him leap with those long limbs and continue in the opposite direction imperceptibly after he landed was a wonder. His feet are particularly beautiful, but beyond that, the strong way he placed them, but then shifted his weight as if he had never planted was magical.

I have never seen LaSylphide first on a bill.

I'm sure the ABT pairing of a short ballet with Giselle preceded Baryshnikov. I remember seeing (back in the day) a Michael Smuin ballet, Pulcinella Variations (sp?), before Giselle. I don't know the history of ABT's pairing Giselle with another ballet, but I'm sure it goes back a ways.

Who was the handsome Gurn?
And Effie was gorgeous and perfectly cast... (Who was this? I'd love to see her in any acting role, Tudor, Sleeping Beauty? R&J?)...
Karl Barbee as Madge was thoroughly enjoyable too.
And the Now Suddenly I'm Blind! scene seemed to lack sense... Surely the ladies of the romantic era were very familiar with the symptoms of fainting... how ones vision starts to swirl with shadows... one didn't get the sense her vision was signaling loss of consciousness to the Sylph but that suddenly Osipova was clumsy with blindness... lose wings=instant blindness... it wasn't a lightheaded dizzy blindness it was a "someone turned the lights off now where am I" blindness.
It's Jared Matthews as Gurn, Gemma Bond as Effie, and Victor Barbee as Madge.
There was neither blindness nor loss of consciousness, as far as I understand. As a creature who lives in the air, the Sylph is not used to being grounded. I believe Ms. Osipova depicted her helplessness when trying to walk, with no wings---trying to feel her way with her hands and feet---and, IMHO, depicted it in a very beautiful and touching way.
Posted 19 June 2009 - 07:17 PM
In the death scene of that same performance, I missed Sylph pleading, "But I thought you loved me!" She mimed something vaguely, pointing somewhere above (but far to the side of) her shoulder, then taking the hand to her heart, but it carried no meaning. I know what it's supposed to be, but I couldn't make sense out of it. She needs to define these moments in her own mind (or her coach's) and communicate them.
I may be wrong, but I think that particular gesture meant to explain to James how much she loved living in the air---i.e., in effect, that she cannot live without her wings. I do not think that "But I thought you loved me!" would have been appropriate or logical at that point, given James's overt horror at what was happening to her. James would have needed to behave differently in order for "But I thought you loved me!" to make any sense in that scene.
I thought the entire death scene was very beautifully, touchingly, and convincingly acted.
Posted 19 June 2009 - 08:08 PM
How different are the various Madges? Is there much room for improvisation? Our Gurn was very danseur noble when he wasn't trying to indicate that James was a flake. I didn't mind a little levity, but perhaps "tragically has lost his mind" is better than "flakey lunatic"? He isn't supposed to be Alain in Fille after all.
I saw the Tuesday and Thursday performances, both with Nina A/David Hallberg and with Nancy Raffa as Madge. As previously noted by another poster, Raffa was very effective. I liked the way she hobbled around, using her knobbly walking stick quite effectively. Her interactions with Hallberg and Carlos Lopez (Gurn both nights) were good. In addition, her sense of triumph at the end, when Hallberg had collapsed, was well-portrayed. At least on Thursday, she sort of pulled Hallberg's hair a little bit (before he collapsed to the ground) towards the end of Act 2 (after he had seen the sylphide carried off). I'm a newbie when it comes to watching ballet, so I don't know whether that's customary, but it was effective.
Nina A gave Madge a rose at the end of the Thursday performance, after Nina gave one to Hallberg. I know that's relatively unusual, but how unusual is it?
Hallberg danced beautifully on both occasions, but I thought he was slightly better Thursday night. I am going to see Seo/Hallberg during the matinee tomorrow, and will report.
Sorry if I don't know a lot about ballet, but I'm trying to learn.
PS: The Grand Tier restaurant now has a $39/person three-course prix fixe, with two selections per course, prior to ABT performances. The same prix fixe is $49 with a glass of wine included (only one red and one white among the choices). The Patina Restaurant group website has indicative menus. I noticed that Grand Tier has d'Yquem by the glass at $39 -- now that's dessert. The current vintage being poured (small, but not inappropriately, given the price of d'Yquem) is 2002. The Arpeggio restaurant in Avery Fischer has a 50%-off-the-second-main-course offer in some situations.
I noticed a new drink special available this season -- the blood orange mimosa. It seems to be from a pre-mixed bottle from a manufacturer, and I am not sure the ingredient sparkling wine is champagne. But it is at least different from the typical offerings.
PPS: Does anybody know if Maxim B has recovered from his injury enough to dance on Monday? If not, I wonder who would replace him? I hope Hallberg, but Hallberg already has two Swan Lake performances (both with Wiles_.
Posted 19 June 2009 - 09:52 PM
In particular, Part's mime was crystal clear, and Stearns' was close, and his characterization had a sense of dramatic arc, with a combination of confusion and desire. While he was not Hallberg's equal in style or technique, especially in the Act I variation, he had some wonderful moments in the Act II solos, and the phrasing in the last one was varied and fit the music beautifully. It was a well-rounded attempt at an iconic role.
Butler's Effie was emotionally live, and I got the impression that in choosing to marry Gurn, it was less a practical decision than a realization that she had narrowly escaped a disaster. (Still, Mom isn't convinced, even at the end when Madge gestures for her to accept it, and after she is alone on stage, Madge gestures about the fools she has to put up with.) Jared Matthews' Gurn was genuinely kind to Madge in Act I, and while there are built in comic elements, like missing the chair where he expected to disclose the Sylph and falling to the floor, and needing to be pushed, twice, by Madge to ask Effie to marry him, he was not a silly figure, and he reminded me of Royal Danish Ballet's Mads Blangstrup in the straightforwardness and bit of urgency in his Act I variation.
This is the first time I've seen Veronika Part live; add me to the list of Part lovers. Her Sylph flitted with delight and anticipation at capturing the heart of this creature (for to her, he was the creature) with lightness yet resonance, grace, and that beautiful mime. She portrayed a happy Sylph, single-minded and single-hearted, oblivious to the pain she would cause. Her Act II solos built to a thrilling climax. I generally don't sympathize with this amoral creature, but watching her joyfully equate the scarf with James' love and wholeheartedly bowing to him to get it was like watching an unavoidable catastrophe.
Martine van Hamel's Madge was remarkably contained and quiet, in some ways almost stealth, like a spider waiting for its prey to entrap itself, and then rejoicing.
Despite the sometimes shadowy lighting, "Airs" which opened the program, was danced in sunshine and cool breezes by the cast of Boone, Copeland, Curry, Milewski, Hoven, Scott, and Stappas. The ensemble danced seamlessly. I was impressed particularly by how Misty Copeland looked so idiomatic in the all of the poses on the floor.

Yes, Amy Reusch, you have made a good point here. I saw Jared Matthews as Gurn Wed Eve and he was very 'danseur noble' most of the time, but did go over-the-top with the lunatic bit--it was very Alain. It also robbed the ballet of its pathos and made it a little hard to take it seriously after that.

Thanks for the welcome
I just looked up what it says in "101 Stories of the Great Ballets" (G Ballanchine and F Mason) about the Gurn role, and here are the first few descriptions:
-- "Gurn, another young peasant, rests in a corner against the fireplace. In his deep sleep, Gurn is not disturbed by the realization of his friend's dream; he himself dreams of Effie, Jame's bride-to-be, and the love he will lose this day." In the ABT production, there is a man resting his head on a table in the background where James is in the foreground in the chair, but I think Gurn enters through the door later and the "other" man sleeping might not have been Gurn. I'm going to check this later. Also, the ABT synopsis says that Gurn is James' counsin instead of friend.
-- After the Sylphide disappears in the fireplace, James "shakes his friend awake rudely. Did he see the beautiful vision? How long have we slept? Gurn is a little embarassed at his own dream and is about to tell James yes, he saw the beautiful girl, but he sees that his friend is not talking about Effie, the bride, but about someone quite different. He wonders at his friend." I'm not sure this happened in the ABT production. The Ballanchine description seems to have James more voluntarily disclosing to Gurn the sylphide than the ABT production portrays, but I'm not sure about this.
-- When Effie arrives, "Gurn greets the bride first.... Gurn can hardly control himself, he is so moved by her loveliness, meekly he presents her with a rare bird he killed yesterday while hunting. Effie accepts the gift...." Did this happen in the ABT production?
It seems like there is flexibility as to what to include in a production.
C Lopez's depiction of Gurn was not at all "danseur noble", although it that might have been particularly difficult to pursue that type of characterization beside Hallberg.
C Lopez was decent in the Gurn role. He came across as a person who thought about life more simply and practically than James, but that is in part due to Hallberg's portrayl of James and the refined aura to Hallberg's dancing (e.g., the elegant and princely, instead of peasantly, way that Hallberg, not unexpectedly, danced the group dance during the part of the wedding before he leaves in pursuit of the slyphide). A minor note (I know I shouldn't think about such things) that Carlos' hair, with the little rounded peak above his forehead, was a bit distracting and made his Gurn look slightly less serious than I would have liked. That Carlos' hair was covered by the pirate scarf tied around his head was why Carlos' costuming for Birbanto in Le Corsaire served him better (May 26: Hallberg as Conrad, Corella as Ali, P Herrera as Medora, Y Kajiya as Gulnare). His hair was hidden.
Anyhow, C Lopez on both Tuesday and Thursday mimicked the la Sylphide in two intentionally funny instances during Act 1. The first was when Gurn recounts to Effie and James' mother how there had been a sylphide, and the second is after James disappears during the wedding scene. In both instances, C Lopez uses his whole body to portray this. He flails his arms in sequence forward, almost like the arm movement in the freestyle position in swimming, but each arm is more arched in shape in a round way as he does this. He takes delibrately clown-like steps forward. These movements are exaggerated, and intended to be funny. I thought Carlos did them well.
The Ballanchine stories summary does not say that Gurn tries to tell Effie and James' mother about the sylphide before Madge enters the picture.

Mary Cargill, in her review for danceviewtimes, writes about a number of issues I had with the production:
And the current version which had Gurn, the man who loves Effie, and James dance joyfully at the betrothal, which while it gives them something to do, does interfere with the drama. Gurn is furious because he thinks James is hiding something (which he is), and because he wants Effie for himself, and James is (or should be) lost in his own world thinking about the Sylph--neither would be jumping for joy. (Bournonville, a great man of the theater, gave the two solos to corps members.) Gurn, too, has turned into something of a comic; I remember seeing a Danish production where the dancer made it clear that when Madge told him to lie about finding James' coat, this fundamentally decent man came to a moral crisis and completely failed--it was one of the most wrenching 3 seconds of drama I have seen. Theatrically, I think it is a mistake to have the girls in the betrothal party wear pastels, since there isn't enough contrast between them and the second act sylphs. They should be hearty farm girls, not peasants, but not girls who traveled to and from Bath and suffered from the vapors, so that the vision in white of the second act comes as an unexpected thrill.
To be fair, I don't think I've ever seen a production in which James and Gurn don't hog the two Act I solos.
The bottom line for me was that in this production, the Company as a whole, despite some wonderful efforts by the cast I saw last night, did not make great theater. "Le Corsaire" by the Bolshoi in DC, despite the amount of action and ridiculous plot, was much more coherent theatrically, because everyone knew his or her role in creating that world.

Parkour is a style of free running based on the philosophy of Gymnastique Naturelle de Georges Hébert. It is centered around the efficient movement from one place to another regardless of impediment.

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance,acrobatics and music, and is sometimes referred to as a game. I did this for a couple of months. There were some kicks, and a lot of acrobatics - flying kicks, back-flips, running against a wall.
This Yahoo article may help you. It details the origin and evolution of tricking since the early 1960s. It draws from movie stunts, capoera, and parkour as source for the creation of tricking. However, I have no idea how authentic or authoritative it is. Feel free to add to this answer.

Horny young guys pick up stranded damsels by the side of the road. Of course, these pretty gals are the slutty type, and wind up getting a different kind of "ride." Jacqueline Summers bounces on cock in the backseat of the moving car, then goes home for a double cum beard from Matt Bixel and Brad Baldwin.

Table 1. Personnel-to-Population Ratios for ASHA-Certified Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists by State, and State Rank, 2014 [PDF]
Table 2. Personnel-to-Population Ratios for ASHA-Certified Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists by Geographic Region and Division, 2014 [PDF]
What are personnel-to-population ratios?
They are a measurement of the number of a given class of personnel (e.g., ASHA-certified audiologists or speech-language pathologists) in relation to the overall population in a given geographic area (e.g., state, region, or country).
How are personnel-to-population ratios calculated?
They are calculated by dividing the number of specified personnel in a given geographic area by the population of that area. The resulting number is then multiplied by 100,000 to arrive at the number of personnel per 100,000 people in the area. For example, Florida had approximately 8,321 ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists and an estimated population of 19,893,297 people in 2014. Its personnel-to-population ratio is then calculated as (8,321/19,893,297) x 100,000 = 41.8. In other words, there were 41.8 speech-language pathologists for every 100,000 Floridians in 2014.
How are counts of ASHA-certified audiologists and speech-language pathologists determined?
ASHA uses membership data to compile annual counts of ASHA-certified audiologists and speech-language pathologists (see ASHA Counts for Year End 2014, Table 3: ASHA Affiliation by State and Certification Status).
What is the source of state population estimates?
The U.S. Census Bureau of the U.S. Department of Commerce estimates state populations on a periodic basis. These estimates are available on the Bureau's website [PDF]. They are also included above in Table 1.
What are the national personnel-to-population ratios for ASHA-certified audiologists and speech-language pathologists?
In 2014, nationwide, the number of ASHA-certified audiologists for every 100,000 residents was 4.0, ranging from 1.9 in Montana to 7.0 in Colorado. The number of ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists for every 100,000 residents was 46.6, ranging from 23.5 in Nevada to 74.2 in Arkansas.
Have the national personnel-to-population ratios for audiologists and speech-language pathologists changed over time?
The 2014 nationwide ratio of 4.0 for audiologists was the same as in 2013, and down slightly from the ratio of 4.1 reported for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. The nationwide ratio of 46.6 for speech-language pathologists was up from 38.3 in 2008, 39.7 in 2009, 41.4 in 2010, 42.3 in 2011, 43.5 in 2012, and 45.0 in 2013.
What are the regional personnel-to-population ratios for ASHA-certified audiologists and speech-language pathologists?
In 2014, nationwide, the number of ASHA-certified audiologists ranged from 3.9 in the West to 5.1 in the Midwest. For ASHA-certified speech-language-pathologists, it ranged from 40.7 in the West to 61.3 in the Northeast.
What is a "good" personnel-to-population ratio?
ASHA presents personnel-to-population ratios; we do not determine ideal ratios for states and regions. However, "good" ratios vary by state and region and depend on many factors, such as population density, client/patient demographics, service needs, presence of support personnel, and other factors.
Why are personnel-to-population ratios important?
By knowing the personnel-to-population ratio for a state or region we can then compare that state or region to other states, regions, or the national average. This information can be used to (a) affect policy changes to ensure that all populations are adequately served, (b) determine trends, (c) offer information for individuals considering relocation, and (d) potentially foster growth of the professions within a given state or region.
