North Syracuse is a village in Onondaga County, New York, United States. The population was 6,800 at the 2010 census. North Syracuse is located in the towns of Salina, Cicero and Clay, north of the city of Syracuse.
The village was originally called Centerville and changed to its present name in 1880. It became an incorporated village in 1925. Among the first settlers, the Fergerson family located there in 1826. They still occupy the same land located in what is now the village center. Many local streets are named in their honor.
On July 18, 1846, the United States' first plank road opened in North Syracuse, primarily for salt transportation. The road cost $23,000, was 16-1/2 miles long and planked its entire length. Thomas Alvord, State Legislator, who later became Lieutenant Governor helped secure the passage of an Act to construct, maintain and collect tolls. There were four tollgates about four miles apart that were operated by the company which was a profitable enterprise for many years. The fees were 1 cent per head of cattle, 5 cents for a single horse, and 25 cents for a horse and wagon.
There was a dirt side and planked side to the road; the East Side was dirt and the West Side planked 3" thick by 8' long. Loaded wagons had the right of way on the planked side, the other side being reserved for empty wagons, single horses and for passing. Bicycles used the plank side on Sunday for racing. Due to wear and tear by horses' shoes and iron hoops on wagon wheels, a gang was constantly busy just making repairs.

CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA â Robby Gordon has proven once again why he is a true motorsports champion, not just by winning, but dominating Stage 12 of the Dakarâ¢. After a long delay set him back during Stage 11 due to mechanical problems, the American driver attacked Stage 12 with a vengeance. He piloted his #303 SPEED Energy / Toyo Tires HUMMER from a 22nd starting position to first overall â beating the second place finisher by 15 minutes, 18 seconds! To further prove a point, he accomplished that feat by crossing the perilously soft coastal dunes toward Nazca, Peru — streaking past stuck competitors with his two-wheel drive HUMMER equipped with Toyo® Open Country M/T®-R tires.
The 245km Stage 12 travelled north along the Peruvian coast from Arequipa to Nazca. This marks Gordonâs second stage win in the 2012 Dakar, having also won Stage 9. Gordon now has six podium finishes in the 2012 version of this Pan American marathon rally. It also shows his determination to finish on the podium in Lima, Peru.
Gordonâs teammate Nasser Al-Attiyah was forced to retire during Stage 9 due to mechanical problems. Prior to his retirement, Al-Attiyah and his Toyo Tires equipped #300 Qatar HUMMER won Stages 2 and 7, and finished third in Stage 3. So far in the 2012 Dakar, Toyo Tires has logged four stage wins and captured a total of nine podium finishes.
âRobby Gordon has proven today why Toyo Tires considers him a champion,â said Amy Coleman, senior director of marketing, Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. âHe has the ability to put adversity in his mirrors, while also demonstrating the winning capabilities of our Open Country M/T-R tires.â
Gordon currently sits in fourth overall in the Dakar with two days of racing left before finishing in Lima. Saturdayâs 275km Stage 13 continues along the edge of the Pacific, running from Nazca to Pisco. Sundayâs Stage 14 will lead competitors from Pisco to Lima, the capitol of Peru where thousands of fans will greet the competitors.
Highlights of the Dakar are broadcast in the U.S. each night on the NBC Sports Network (formerly known as Versus) at 1:30am EST (10:30pm PST.)Â Please check your local listings on where to find the NBC Sports Network.

Sharman Joshi is in a happy space. His first film has a lead 'Ferrari Ki Sawaari' has opened to good reviews and has been appreciated by the audiences and critics. Soft spoken and always politically correct, Sharman has had a slow and steady rise. The actor has been a part of many box-office multi-starrers like '3 Idiots', 'Golmaal' , 'Rang De Basanti' to name a few. In a free-wheeling chat, Sharman tells us about the film and the pressure of starring in a solo film.
Excerpts from the interview
What inspired you to take up the project?
The first time I heard about 'Ferrari Ki Sawaari' was when Rajesh (Mapuskar) and I were working on '3 Idiots'. When I heard about the title, I went up to him and told him that the title of the film is very catchy. That's when he casually mentioned the plot and I loved it so much that I wanted to be a part of the film but other actors were being considered for the film at that time so I wasn't sure if I would make it. But after a year and half, I auditioned for the role and sure enough, I got the part and Rajesh had the patience to give me the space to let me analyse and understand the character. After that, we worked on the physical aspects of the character but what excited me the most was the way the emotional quotient of the character has been sketched- the honesty, the ever smiling fellow, the gentleness. But coming back to your question, it was the simple script which attracted me in the first place
Read: Boman Irani on 'Ferrari Ki Sawaari'
Since this is your first film as a solo hero, what were the challenges and expectations?
I don't look at films as ensemble films or single starrers, the audiences would look at it that way. But I am in the thick of this profession , it is a rather shallow way to look at films that way. What is more important for me is to be a part of a great film and as long as that is in place, I don't mind working with an ensemble cast. Yes, this is a very important film for me. I am honoured that Mr Vinod Chopra cast me irrespective of my box office standing which is not strong but because I am possibly more suited to play the role. That sense of conviction comes from the love and passion he has for cinema. The way I approach my work is I don't give into pressure as that will only mess up everything.
You are known to be choosy about your films. Do you want to please the masses at any point in time?
I have been part of films like 'Style', 'Golmaal'. Entertainment is what I work for and pure entertainment is still undermined in Bollywood. I am not here to bring a social change but just perform well as an actor. And I can entertain only through the films I do. If it does give a social message which the audience can appreciate, then it is wonderful. But if it does not, then it is just the film which is going to entertain you and make you have a good time. My job as an actor is done then. But at the same time, all the masala films have to have a certain quality and I have certain rules for that. And if it matches with my vision, excites me and has certain edge to it, then I don't see why I would stay away.
Review: Ferrari Ki Sawaari
Your father has been a major influence in your life and since this is a story about a father-son relationship, did you draw from your personal experiences?
I make a sharp demarcation between my personal and professional life, consciously. For me, the script is my bible and a lot depends upon the character I play, my co-actors and situations, conditions and the emotional state of the character I am supposed to play. If I use personal references to play a character, then it is being derived and not created there. I rely on script, the director's vision and my instincts to take a character forward.
Vidya's sizzling item number
You have said in a recent interview that Ferrari stands as metaphor for larger than life expectations. Since you also had to see your share of struggles, how did you relate to the film?
As much as I say this, people are not willing to believe it. I have never struggled and I have been doing what I love to do. Everyone has been kind enough to me. I am in a happy situation. I have understood from people's perspective that things are gloing to be bigger with box-office standing but that has not being my drive. My drive has been to be a part of quality work and I was willing to stick my neck out for that.

Transactions on the Nigerian Stock Exchange at the close of trading session returned to positive outlook as against the bearish trend recorded at the close of trading session yesterday which consequently led to depletion in market capitalisation by N19.688 billion (US$131.518 million).
Meanwhile, while market value which serves as indicators for cash votes on the bourse inched up (higher than growth recorded yesterday), transaction volume shrank further, a repeat of volume trend in the previous trading day.
The positive outlook recorded could most probably be attributed to the success story on the long awaited Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) which was signed into law by the President before the close of work yesterday (http://www.proshareng.com/news/singleNews.php?id=11434). This brought to an end the divergent views on whether AMC bill will become a reality or not.
According to the President, AMCON will help to stimulate the recovery of the financial system and ultimately the wider economy through among others, providing liquidity to the banks by buying their non-performing loans, recapitalizing the intervened banks, increasing access to refinancing opportunities for borrowers, increasing confidence in banks' balance sheets and therefore Nigeria's credit and risk ratings, encourage a return of confidence to the capital market and preventing continued job losses in the banking industry.
If the positions expressed above are pursued and actualised, the long awaited good old days in all the segment of finance industry and the entire economy at large are here. This is expected to reduce the tension in the system to the barest minimum as banks with shaky going concern can now get respite via the AMCON.
The positive impact was felt much more in the banking sector which posted thirteen gainers to four losers at the close of trading session. Price movements in the sector showed that all the rescued banks recorded price upswings of different magnitude. The fact that all the banks in this category must have shed the most considerable price weight following the crisis of confidence that rocked the system would now make them more attractive to discerning investors, most especially for capital appreciations.
Moreover, coupled with this development is the moves by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to promote dialogue with regards to the rescued bank in the country, the step expected to have positive effect in a way in the sector since the tension that has trailed the issue thus far may subside, even with readiness of CBN to handover recapitalisation of these banks in the hands of the shareholders.
Meanwhile, while investors exhilarate on the euphoria of the success story of the Asset Management Company Bills, as we have been saying in many of our reports, we hereby reiterate that investors should not forget that AMCON is not the cure for all the crisis in the finance sector. For further insight, follow the link (http://proshareng.com/blog/?p=383)

text: I didn't really expect the Texans to win this game given that they were outmatched at just about every position, but I certainly didn't expect the Pittman/Turk weirdness etc. (Will admit to being non-surprised by how blown the Gates coverage was). Sometimes I think Texans fans are destined to see the all time strangest things ever seen on an NFL field. I thought for historical purposes it might be interesting to catalog them. I would put this game on the strange list. A game where the announcers are saying to pull LT before he has even got 80 yards because it is so out of hand. It was such a gifted victory. Charger Fire Loss 2007 Away. What other inexplicable games belong on the list? I am thinking: Texans-Titans 2007 Home. Bironas fest. Texans-Titans 2006 Home. Vince's House Texans-Raiders 2006 Away. They won that? Texans-Rams 2005 Home. Quest for the Reggie Bush Pick, Not. Texans-Steelers 2002 Away. Hurray for Touchdown Tommy Maddox. What do you think needs to be added to the list? And in what order? How many weird ways can you play a football game? I don't want to know the answer to that question.

Is there a problem with my Tablet or is this a known issue & Google is working on it? I'll just be browsing or playing a game and the screen locks up & then reboots. Any idea how to stop this? I am sincerely hoping Google is working on a fix so I don't have to send it back I love my Nexus 10 so much. It's so nice!

Next time you're stuck in the pram jam at the café you can blame Australia's baby boom, with our country experiencing the largest number of births since the end of the second world war.
Women aged in their late 30s are driving the nation's new baby boom, while more women are having children in their 20s, paving the way for a return to larger families, the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show.
A record 296,600 births were recorded last year, 11,400 or 4 per cent more than in the previous record year, 2007. The overall fertility rate last year edged within a whisker of two babies a woman -- a far cry from the low of 1.73 in 2001 that, along with a rapidly ageing population, prompted fears of long-term economic stagnation. The total fertility rate -- the number of babies a woman can expect to bear during her reproductive lifetime -- reached 1.97 last year, up from 1.92 in 2007. Not since 1977 has the birth rate been above 2.0.
Women in their 30s accounted for 55 per cent of the increase, the ABS said. "The fertility rate for women aged 35-39 years continued to increase, reaching 70.9 babies per 1000 women in 2008,'' the ABS report found. "This was the highest rate for women aged 35-39 since 1948.'' So for once the headlines are right: we are in a baby boom. It won't be nearly as big as the post-war boom - where the fertility rate hit a peak of 3.5 babies in 1961 - but the fertility rate has been rising sharply for five years. Why is it happening? Well, you'd have to be a very simple soul to believe it's because parents are responding to the incentive of the $5000 baby bonus - children are hugely expensive. Australia has one of the fastest growing populations thanks to the rising birth rate and increasing immigration, but even that's not enough to make up for our ever-ageing population numbers.
According to demographers - the experts that study population shifts - the arithmetic explanation is not that parents are deciding to have more kids, but that they're deciding not to leave it so late to get started on a family. Foreseechange's Charlie Nelson says it's things like changes in the timing of child-bearing that do most to influence the annual fertility rate. The post-war baby boom occurred because, between 1945 and 1972, women started their families earlier and earlier.
After 1972 the trend reversed and women started their families later and later. The advent of the pill and the legalising of abortion probably had something to do with these trends, but so did the higher levels of education attained by women, and by women's desire to get established in their career - and maybe in home ownership - before starting a family. This trend to delay child-bearing continued until the early 2000s, and now it's starting to reverse with the older women quickly squeezing in a baby while the younger women choose motherhood at an earlier age.
Roughly one third of all Australian babies - 94,700 - were born in NSW, where births are rising faster than in any state other than Western Australia, increasing 5.8 per cent between 2007 and 2008, compared to the national increase of 4 per cent. "It has taken people by surprise," the Australian National University demographer, Peter McDonald told an Australian newspaper. "It's putting strain on schools, childcare centres and maternity wards at the same time as our population is ageing."
Women aged 30 to 34 led the way, producing 128 babies per 1000 - more than any other age group, and the highest rate since 1961. Women aged 35 to 39 produced more babies per 1000 than at any time since 1948. The real catch is that even though there will be more babies, they will still be outnumbered by older people as the Baby Boomer generation born in the 1960s enters retirement.

YOU report a serious fall in the value of shares in Aggreko, the power company based in Dumbarton ("Agrekko shares drop after profits warning", The Herald, December 18).
Aggreko has been doing very well for some years, supplying temporary power generation for headline events such as the Olympic Games. This recent fall, due to investors suddenly realising the company's expectations of future profit are not so rosy as previously predicted, must remind the directors (and myself as a minor shareholder) what uncertainty there is in the stock market at the best of times.
Only a few weeks ago, Rupert Soames, the boss of Aggreko, put himself into the independence debate by publishing his fears that Scotland running its own affairs would mean uncertainty in the future of his company – without any real hint of why he should entertain this fear. Since Aggreko operates in more than 30 countries worldwide, this seemed rather tenuous logic. His remark, however, was very much in tune with the constant stream of negativity and scaremongering from the No campaign. Perhaps now Mr Soames will realise that there are much worse uncertainties in life than what may happen were Scots to decide to run their own affairs.

The Scottish Government cannot predict what the price of mince will be in two years time, but there is much worse "uncertainty" in the ability of the Westminster Government to stop the UK from losing its AAA status and to prevent our economy from being crushed by the weight of our debts, which are still piling up by £10bn or more every month. This is real uncertainty, whereas there is nothing uncertain about Scotland's huge natural assets.
Dr Willie Wilson,
57 Gallowhill Road,
I BELIEVE it is inequitable to do as Iain Paterson hypothesises and deny the right to vote in the referendum to non-resident Scots, particularly those resident for whatever reason in other parts of the UK (Letters, December 19). There is no democratic justification for the imposition of a residential qualification on the referendum electorate simply because that is what applies in Parliamentary elections, which are very different in being deliberately periodic to provide the opportunity for change every few years. The referendum is a once-in-a-lifetime event with immense implications for all Scots, including some 800,000 living in the rest of the UK, and I wonder whether denying such a large number of Scots a vote in the Referendum could leave any result open to challenge at the European Court of Human Rights following its ruling on the voting rights of prisoners.
As to Mr Paterson's bald assertion that allowing non-resident Scots to vote amounts to an attempt to stack the deck against independence, surely the opposite applies equally and excluding them amounts to an attempt to stack the deck for independence? I have not seen any suggestion from either side in the referendum debate that resident non-Scots should be excluded from voting so I think his concerns in that regard are groundless.
The adage that Scotland's people are its greatest export still applies and they have made and continue to make an immense contribution to the worldwide respect and reputation enjoyed by Scotland. It seems wrong for them to be excluded from playing their part in this momentous event.

I NOTE with interest Alistair Darling's and Michael Moore's remarks about an independent Scotland using the pound ("SNP pound plan 'fantasy'", The Herald, December 14).
First, it should be noted that the Manx Parliament and those of the Channel Islands states are independent of Westminster and not, as commonly thought, devolved administrations. As such they are able to issue their own banknotes, postage stamps and, in the case of the Isle of Man and Jersey, their own coinage. They do so while still retaining the Bank of England as their central bank. So a Sterling Union Area exists in reality already, if not in name.
Secondly, it is often forgotten that the Irish Republic did not cease using sterling until 1978, more than 50 years after the creation of Eire.
Historic and, by extension, legal precedents have been set, which would allow an independent Scotland to continue using Sterling and the Bank of England. Mr Darling, as an ex-Chancellor, and Mr Moore, as a Government minister, must surely be aware of this information. This is hardly a mature or informed debate.
Andrew Haddow,

ANDREW McKie doubts the point that in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) per head of population, an independent Scotland would be the sixth-richest country in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) league table – compared to the UK's 16th place ("Myth and fiction are of no use in creating a state", The Herald, December 17). Among other things, Mr McKie says that this depends on Scotland's oil reserves being nationalised, which is not the case. GDP is a measurement of the value of economic output produced by a country – nothing more or less – and regardless of whether it comes from the private or public sector.
The full detail of Scotland as the sixth-richest country in terms of GDP per head is posted up on the Scottish Government website, and is available at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Resource/0039/00390896.pdf

AS a strong supporter of the Yes campaign, I can only welcome the announcement that Tony Blair, failed Prime Minister and alleged war criminal, is to lend his support to the No campaign. I wonder that they can afford him.
More seriously, given his track record while actually in office, I worry that he may learn that weapons of mass destruction are located on the Clyde and launch an invasion to bring about a regime change. Watch your back, Alex.

August 19 2010
On July 13 2010 the Supreme Court rendered four anticipated rulings in relation to Google's liability for its paid referencing service, AdWords.
Various trademark owners sued Google for infringement on the grounds that it allowed advertisers to select registered trademarks as keywords to trigger the display of sponsored links. The Paris Court of Appeals held Google liable for infringement.
The Supreme Court referred the cases to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) for preliminary rulings on the interpretation of the EU Trademark Directives and the notion of "use of a trademark in the course of trade", and the interpretation of the EU E-commerce Directive with regard to the definition of 'hosting providers', which benefit from limited liability.
The ECJ rendered its ruling on March 23 2010 and held as follows:
The four Supreme Court rulings implement the ECJ ruling and annul the appeal rulings that held Google liable for trademark infringement. The following reasoning is worth noting:
To exclude infringement claims against Google, the Supreme Court quoted and referred to the ECJ judgment, holding that:
"an internet referencing service provider which stores, as a keyword, a sign identical with a trademark and organises the display of advertisements on the basis of that keyword does not use that sign [in such way that the proprietor's consent is required]."
In all four cases the appeal court had excluded that Google could benefit from the limitation of liability awarded to hosting providers. The reasons were not identical from one case to another, but the decisions were based on the finding that Google did not merely provide a data storage service, but marketed a lucrative advertising service and therefore should not be considered as a mere technical intermediary. The Supreme Court quashed the rulings by holding that according to the ECJ, the criterion must consist of the active role which the service provider may have played with regard to the data. Quoting the ECJ, the Supreme Court held that if it has not played an active role of such a kind as to give it knowledge or control over the data stored:
"the service provider cannot be held liable for the data which it has stored at the request of an advertiser, unless, having obtained knowledge of the unlawful nature of those data or of that advertiser's activities, it failed to act expeditiously to remove or to disable access to the data concerned."
The four cases are now back in the hands of the Paris Court of Appeals, so that the appeal magistrates may apply the 'active role' test (also referred to as the 'neutrality' test) to determine whether Google should be considered as a mere hosting provider for Google AdWords.
Since the ECJ judgment in March 2010, the Paris Court of Appeal has had the opportunity to apply the active role test in three cases involving Google (April 9 2010), Dailymotion (April 14 2010) and Yahoo! (June 11 2010). Each application of the test ruled in favour of considering that the service provider should be considered as a hosting provider, thereby benefiting from the limitation of liability provided by French law.

The Message is The Meaning, Or is It?
A few Swedish blogs (here they are 1, 2, 3) have spent some time discussing if advertising needs a message. I believe it was all sparked by this article by Paul Feldwick.
For those of you who can't read Swedish (don't worry, we're only 9 million people), I can just quickly recap the discussion: They are discussing whether advertising should have a message, must have a message (since message is equal to meaning), or shouldn't have a message but rather a topic to sparc discussion. (Sorry 1, 2, 3 for the simplification).
I'm not so sure about defining message as being the same thing as meaning. A message is the code being sent, while meaning is the interpretation of the code. And that interpretation is dependent on many factors. I do agree on, on the other hand, that there needs to be some sort of message from someone (not necessarily the advertiser) in order for someone on the recieving end to have something to interpret, and thus make meaning out of.
First of all I would like to say that meaning doesn't have to be rational. It never is entirely, and most of the time it's predominatly emotional. For the most part we interpret with our emotions and try to explain our interpretations rationally. And that I think is one of the main points of Mr Feldwick's. So messages are most of the time interpreted into meaning without us ever knowing.
So what about messages? That's a little more complicated. A message is carried from point A to point B (where B can be anything from one person to several million). But it can also be forwarded on to C, D, and onwards (C and D can also be huge numbers). The can be distorted along the way, and will almost certainly be interpreted differently. Rational messages will be easy to interpret rationally, but will a lot of times lead to less stimulating emotional responses. Emotional and irrational messages can, if they are good, create a much stronger emotional response, a much wider spread (B, C, D, and onwards), and be more effective in attaching emotional values to the brand. But they require more talent (or luck) to create and a lot of trust from the client (I can only imagine the initial client response to the Cadbury's gorilla).
So to answer the question if advertising needs a message, I would say yes. All communication does. But it doesn't have to be a rational message, and the sender may be aware that there are many possible interpretations. In that case it's similar to art or poetry really. And advertising agencies would never claim to be in the business of art or poetry (besides the thursday night art club). But "branded content" is the hottest thing there is right now. I see paradox here.
My conclusion then:
Don't assume that messages and meanings interpreted out of those messages have to be rational. Meanings never are anyway, and succesful messages rarely are. And that's why succesful advertising agencies need talent. Emotional and artistic talent.
This blog is written by Walter Naeslund and has been around since 2007. The blog is about the journey of starting an advertising agency and a sneak peek behind the scenes of what goes on at the Honesty HQ in SoFo, Södermalm. It is also a blog about communication & technology. The blog has gathered almost a thousand posts over the years with several longer and shorter breaks. Welcome and enjoy.

Great short cruise
written by KK814 posted on 19/07/10
Being as it had been 6 years since our first sailing on the MJ ,we were eager to be back on board to see all the changes. Stepping on board ,we at once noticed the fresh colorful carpets ,drapery and fresh paint throughout the ship.
FOOD(and plenty of it!!) Heading straight to the Windjammer Marketplace for a quick lunch, we were excited to see the addition of not only Sorrento?s Pizza, but Johnny Rockets and the Compass Deli. We really liked the way Johnny Rockets was set up . On the MJ, you get the look and feel of the original diner. The only drawback that we noticed(and was confirmed by the staff there) was that it is hard to find .Both Johnny Rockets and the Compass Deli get little use because not too many passengers know they are there(upstairs from the Windjammer). What a shame! Sorrento?s Pizza has great daily specialty pizzas (i.e. Hawaiian, Sausage, Veggie, etc) in addition to the daily standards (pepperoni, cheese and margarita).No charge? The Compass Deli serves sandwiches, quesadillas, paninis, crepes, salads and soup .All food here is included in the cruise fare, except for bottled drinks ($3.50 for Snapple or bottled waters). Johnny Rockets is like stepping back in time to the 1950s??Jukebox pumping out old time songs and the wait staff stop what they are doing to do a little dance for you. Very entertaining! Hamburgers, fries, onion rings, desserts.etc??..all you can eat for a $3.95 service charge?.Drinks are additional (milk shakes not to be missed!!). The Windjammer Marketplace had a quite extensive makeover. Instead of the single buffet line, it is now divided up into stations that each had its own variety of food. There was an Asian station, a pasta station, a Mediterranean station, a salad station, desserts,etc. No one would ever go hungry in here. Something for everyone, whether they choose to eat here for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a snack. Deck 5 is where the Shops on Board are located, which include Seattle?s Best Coffee. They serve (for a nominal fee) several coffee and tea drinks, (hot and cold). With each beverage purchases, you are offered a pastry (complimentary) to go along with it??they offered cookies, muffins, scones, danishes, etc)??. Right next to Seattle?s Best is Freeze ( an ice cream place).Not your ordinary ice cream shop, but one where you pick your flavor ice cream (approx 6-8 flavors) The flavors they had were vanilla, chocolate, strawberry ,pistachio, key lime, rum raisin, and banana)..After you pick your flavor, you choose what toppings (wet or dry or both) to mix in. They offered such toppings as gummy bears, nuts, candies, fruits, etc).Prices start at $2.95 and up. There are two newly improved dining rooms on deck 3(Moonlight) and 4(Starlight). Wow is a word that comes to ones mind when entering either venue. The colors were quite elegant and the updated changes were most welcomed.All new curtains ,carpeting and seating. You could tell RCCL put a lof of effort into these rooms. As always, the top notch dining staff could not do enough for you. Always ready to make sure you had enough to eat and drink and eat and drink some more!! Ready to please the most demanding guest and always with a smile on their face.
Bars and Lounges Viking Crown Lounge (deck 14) is one of the best places on the ship to get an ?aerial? view of the pool deck and the surrounding water. We love the VCL on all the RCCL: ships, but here it appeared to be under used. Maybe it was because of the way it was set up with no active bar area. There is a bar but it was not manned. When we placed an order the waiter would disappear behind a closed door and later reappear with our drinks. Perhaps they prepare drinks in a back room?? Who knows? We felt kind of bad for the guitar player who was performing basically to an empty room. I overheard a staff member say people usually show up one hour before closing to get a night cap. The VCL does have an area set aside for cigar smokers (perhaps that?s why no one else uses this part of the ship?). Anyway, they do have air purifiers up there and they do appear to work quite well. Boleros (deck 7) is a Latin themed bar with live music. This place get quite lively with people doing the salsa,rumba,.etc?.fun to watch even if you don?t participate. Be sure to try a Mojito.it is the signature drink in here. One thing they don?t have(that other ships do) is Dueling Pianos. But since the Latin band plays later, it is not a big deal. Schooner Bar(deck 5) seems to be of the most popular bars on the ship .Always hopping and drinks flowing .Lets not forget the piano man?he always had a crowd around him singing along. Love the nautical look in this bar. Perfect for a ship. Spectrum Lounge (deck 8) is more of a club atmosphere. RCCL really enforced the age minimum here. They had Quest, the 70s show, Karaoke, etc .Every night had something going on in here. Pool bars (deck 12) were always busy and very handy to those just relaxing in the sun. Even though, they were busy, there were plenty of staff working behind the bars or strolling along the pool area so one did not even have to leave the comfort of their lounge chair. The one location we did miss was the Champagne Bar. It was taken during the refurbishment. It was missed by several others we spoke to.
Various other public areas The Casino (deck 5) looked like you were walking into Mardi Gras with the colors?.Very nice. In here were the usual gaming tables, slot matches and video poker. There was also a table that held (8?) people and they played poker against each other but with computer generated cards that showed up on a screen in the middle of the table. It was all electronic and quite interesting to watch,(if you?re like me and don?t play poker).The first day, they had sessions at each table to help you learn how to play(craps, roulette, blackjack,etc).The staff were very helpful during the rest of the cruise if you had any questions. There is a bar in the casino with 2 flat screen TVs showing sporting events.
The pool deck (deck 12) was one place we spent a lot of time. We found plenty of seating space (no evidence of chair hogs). The pool deck patrol took care of that as well as constantly picking up left behind items such as dirty glasses, cans, towels, etc. They also enforced the non smoking/smoking areas. The only complaint here was the hot tubs. They looked like bubble baths???overflowing with bubbly foam. Perhaps someone had pour some soap in them?? It was reported to the guest relations desk and they were going to get it cleaned up. The canopies over the hot tubs areas were a nice addition.The whole pool area appeared to have been freshened up and fine tuned .They even had added 2 flat screen TVS by the aft pool bar where we noticed several people watching sports. The Shops On Board(deck 5) had plenty to offer for all??.They included the General Store, Bijoux(the $10 store), a camera shop, perfumerie,clothing,jewelry,etc).All were nicely appointed, bright and cheery. The staff were the usual? pleasant and helpful. I happened to be chosen to be a Mystery shopper and the clerk I had passed with flying colors..A+!!
The Chorus Line Theater (decks 5&7) looked amazing. The changes were beautiful and we felt as if there was not a bad seat in the house to view the great shows and entertainment. In here, they had replaced the chairs, carpeting and even the fixtures ..Among the shows we had were a comedian, a juggler, a production show, Love and Marriage. You could tell everyone worked hard to entertain us. The Majesty day Spa (deck 9) consists of the Fitness center, Barber, Hair salon, and spa rooms. Up here you can get anything from a massage to a facial to teeth whitening and lots of other spa services .Costs varies .Reminded us a spa at a 5 start hotel. The fitness Center offered the latest state of the art exercise equipment.They offer classes for a nominal fee(Pilates, yoga,.etc) The staff is there to assist you if need be. Sure do miss the saunas though. Adventure Ocean(deck 10) is the area on board for kids only (ages 3-17)??We didn?t spend any time here since we do not have any little children. However, we were impressed with what they had to offer, everything from computers to a video arcade to organized activities conducted by the counselors to a disco(for the teens).The kids all seemed to being having a great time.
Our cabin (Grand Suite #1036) We couldn?t wait to; see our stateroom with the new bedding. We were not disappointed! The new colors were very pleasing to the eye and the bedding was so comfortable. In addition, since we were in a suite, we were given a pillow menu to pick what type of pillows we wanted. Our choices were: 1. Conformance (unique 3 dimensional polyester in a cluster shape with a slick finish. The clusters flow inside much like a natural down and feathers providing the ultimate comfort and support for all sleeping positions. This is the best quality cluster fiber available today.) 2. Goose (The white goose down zippered and interlined pillow is made with only the finest European white goose down. The outer cover is woven damask, 100% cotton fabric with a 350 thread count for enhanced softness and comfort. 3. Body (the feather and down body pillow provides full body comfort when an ordinary pillow just wont do. It is ideal for guests with body aches and also excellent for expectant mothers. 4. Isotonic (feels unlike anything you?ve ever felt. Before. It is slow acting, marshmallow like foam that reacts to your body temperature and physique to provide true, customized relaxation. With Isotonice, the body?s own weight effortlessly creates forces that sculpt and mold foam contours. It relaxes and self adjusts according to your body dynamics, and then rejuvenates within seconds. It was so hard to choose just one, so I picked all 4!! Tested them all??..My personal favorite was the body pillow. It was huge!! Close to 5 feet long! The cabin had more than enough closet space and storage. Much more than two people would need for a short cruise. Two huge closets. Inside one of the closets was the safe. It was activated by using a card with a magnetic strip (we used our AAA card because I wasn?t sure if the strip on a credit card would become demagnetized using it)).Granite counter tops were all over the room. Very luxurious! The bar area came equipped with a mini refrigerator they kept the sodas inside very cold. There were plenty of glasses provided too, all sizes (wine, water, etc).The flat screen TV was a nice additional to the cabin, along with the DVD player (a CD player would have been nice to have too or a stereo system). The balcony was large enough for us as well as guests. It had new white mesh furniture (one lounger, two chairs and a table).Perfect for watching those Caribbean sunsets. We also like the railing (slats) as opposed to the Plexiglas you find on most ships. It gave a more open air feeling to the balcony.
We were eager to get back on the MJ since it was our first RCCL cruise. We remember the ?wow? feeling it gave us many years ago. This time, however, it gave us the ?WOW? feeling. We didn?t know how they could have improved this lovely ship, but they certainly did. We had a wonderful time and we contribute that to the best crew on the high seas. As always, RCCL staff and crew from bar servers to cabin stewards to wait staff to the Captain and everyone in between are the most courteous and professional ever. ?They aim to please?
So in ending, we just want to say, it was ?our pleasure? to once again cruise this RCCL and to see first hand the new Majesty of the Seas.

moneydance - should it really be in slackbuilds?
I've just installed moneydance from slackbuilds and tried to run it - that's the message that appeared on the screen:
I felt a little bit like when you buy a computer with MS windows and try to run those hundreds of preinstalled trial versions of programs.
It's so not-linux... I mean I understand the meaning of the word 'free' in free software (not always in the financial sense) but still...
Is the application so good that Robby & co. decided to include it in the slackbuilds?
Rather than get into the politics, can I suggest instead that you use GnuCash. I know it has many dependencies but installing it using the queue function in sbopkg make this trivial.
Unfortunately I cannot give you a comparison of the two as I use Quicken2000 via wine, it still, in my opinion, has the best forward planning graph.
I'm not criticising Robby's choice - it's his/their website and can even include MS office if he wants, it has just taken me by surprise to see something like that.
Politics aside, has anyone used it for a longer period of time to share their experience? It looks quite good with a clear layout.
I'm configuring grisbi at the moment looks promising as well. I had gnucash with 12.2 but as far as I remember it was an overkill for my needs.
To the best of my knowledge, there's no rule that slackbuilds submitted to slackbuilds.org should be limited to 'free as in beer' software only. Unlike GNU and the FSF, I don't believe slackbuilds.org have a political agenda, other than to provide quality build scripts for the convenience of slackers.
Only you can decide whether Moneydance is worth paying for (and I guess that's why they decided to give you the 100 transaction limited demo mode)
I've been using KMyMoney for a number of years now and have been pretty happy with it. I wish it would handle subaccounts better, but that's really my only gripe. That any they don't have a bona-fide KDE4 version yet . . .
I'm in samac's camp as I have tried everything & went back to quicken via Wine and then XP/VirtualBox.
My runner ups would be Gnucash & Homebank
Sadly, GNUCash is the only one that actually works the way I want it. Nobody's ledgers make sense except for quicken and GNUCash. Also very sadly is that all of them promote bad accounting practices by changing the names for credit and debit and also changing the sign value of the numbers so that they look like people expect them, rather than what they are! At least you can correct them.
I just wish I could remove the GConf dependency from GNUCash

WASHINGTON – More than two years after President Obama signed a law compensating black farmers for decades of discrimination by federal agriculture officials, the farmers are still waiting for their money.
"It should not have taken this long,'' said Thomas Burrell, president of the Black Farmers and Agriculturists Association. "Justice delayed is justice denied.''
Farmers in Louisiana, Mississippi and other states say they've waited long enough.
"We have not received not one penny," said Mildred Jackson, 81,who owns a family farm in Evergreen, La. "They've been doing reviews since last year... I'm sure they have a lot of lawyers working on it. Why is it taking so long?''

Born in Czech Republic in 1983.
I started to play vinyls in 2001 age 17.
At that time I was focusing mainly on techno following guys like Carola, Liebing, Kanzyani, Umek.
Every beginning is hard but with patience and a lot of hard work I am now in the position of playing around the brightest clubs and venues in the Czech Republic
I was actively involved in a tour sponsored by Sony Ericsson that promoting a DJ school this way I was able to play on the most famous festivals happening in the Czech Republic (Hard House, Summer Of Love, Rock For People, Hip Hop Camp)
Ever since software solutions have made their entrance into every DJs Studio I also thought of making my own music seen the situation of the market where the demand for classic DJs is decreasing.
After some trial and error I finally landed the right track which got picked up by Eyepatch Recordings in 2011.

The marked decline in the total volume of mortgages originated by the country's biggest banks over the last two quarters is no secret with the industry reversing its trend of a steady quarter-on-quarter growth in new mortgages for well over two years. But this visible trend in mortgage originations is actually the amalgam of two underlying trends of an opposing nature. The dominant factor has been the sharp decline in the number of mortgage refinances in the recent past, which overshadowed the improvement in the number of fresh mortgage applications over the same period. This difference is easy to overlook because banks club both these figures together to arrive at a single figure for the mortgage origination volume over a quarter.
While one could safely say that the record mortgage origination figures seen in Q3 2012 are unlikely to be seen in the near future, we believe that the mortgage business will begin to show an increase in originations over the coming quarters. In this article we detail the reasons why we believe so, and also discuss the changes that the banking giants with a substantial stake in the industry – namely Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) – have implemented in the recent past to ensure profitability.

- U.S. Banks' Net Interest Margin Figures Higher In Q1 Thanks To Fed's Rate Hikes
- JPMorgan's Deposit Base Has Swelled By Over 8% In The Past Year
The Refinancing Wave Is Over For Good…
Over the 2010-2012 period, a large part of mortgage originations came from home owners opting to refinance their existing mortgages to benefit from record-low mortgage rates and also from government-led initiatives. This allowed the originations figure to scale new heights, before it began declining. The refinancing channel nearly dried up over subsequent months with very few mortgage eligible for refinancing still remaining. Also, mortgage rates began rising towards the end of Q2 2013 because of which refinancing the mortgages no longer remained a profitable option for homeowners.
The banks have acknowledged this situation in more than one way – with the most clear message in this regard being the series of job cuts announced by the banking giants in their mortgage divisions, in a bid to keep operating margins stable even as the revenue diminishes. JPMorgan is looking to trim the most mortgage jobs, with the diversified banking group likely to do away with 15,000 of these jobs by the end of next year. [1] While Wells Fargo is slashing 2,300 jobs in its mortgage operations across the country (see As Refi Boom Wanes Wells Fargo Cuts Headcount At Mortgage Lending Unit), Bank of America and Citigroup propose to cut more than 2,000 jobs each over coming months. [2]
… But A Number Of Factors Point Towards More Fresh Mortgages Over Coming Months
Quite notably, the banks have reported an increase in the number of fresh mortgage applications over the last two quarters. While this looks counter-intuitive, as rising mortgage rates should act as a deterrent to people looking to buy houses by applying for a mortgage, the situation can be explained by the fact that there is a growing optimism about the country's economy in general and about the mortgage industry in particular.
Improving employment and consumer demand figures indicate that the U.S. economy is on its path to recovery. And home prices have also been on the rise, which is a plus for any lender (see Here Is How Banks Benefit From The Ongoing Rally In Home Prices). The recent decision by U.S. agencies to preserve a mortgage lender's option to hand out loans with zero down-payment should also go a long way in fence-sitters consider the option of taking a mortgage more seriously. [3]
All these factors put together, we see considerable growth potential in the mortgage industry – something we capture in our analysis for Wells Fargo as shown in the chart below.

The thing that so angers me, and I think so angers you, is that this president is using children as a human shield to advance a very liberal agenda that will do nothing to protect them. —Rep. Steve Toth
AUSTIN, Texas — Thousands of gun advocates gathered peacefully Saturday at state capitals around the U.S. to rally against stricter limits on firearms, with demonstrators carrying rifles and pistols in some places while those elsewhere settled for waving hand-scrawled signs.
The size of crowds at each location varied — from dozens of people in South Dakota to 2,000 in New York. Large crowds also turned out in Connecticut, Tennessee and Texas. Some demonstrators in Phoenix and Salem, Ore., came with holstered handguns or rifles on their backs. At the Kentucky Capitol in Frankfort, attendees gave a special round of applause for "the ladies that are packin'."
Activists promoted the "Guns Across America" rallies primarily through social media. They were being held just after President Barack Obama unveiled a sweeping package of federal gun-control proposals.
The crowd swelled to more than 800 amid balmy temperatures on the steps of the pink-hued Capitol in Austin, where speakers took the microphone under a giant Texas flag with "Independent" stamped across it. Homemade placards read "An Armed Society is a Polite Society," "The Second Amendment Comes from God" and "Hey King O., I'm keeping my guns and my religion."
"The thing that so angers me, and I think so angers you, is that this president is using children as a human shield to advance a very liberal agenda that will do nothing to protect them," said state Rep. Steve Toth, referencing the children at the White House's announcement regarding gun policies.
Rallies at statehouses nationwide were organized by Eric Reed, an airline captain from the Houston area who in November started a group called "More Gun Control (equals) More Crime." Its Facebook page has been "liked" by more than 17,000 people.
Texas law has some restrictions on where concealed handgun license-holders can carry firearms, but they are allowed at most places, including the Capitol. But Reed said rally-goers shouldn't expose their weapons: "I don't want anyone to get arrested."
At the New York state Capitol in Albany, about 2,000 people turned out for a chilly rally, where they chanted "We the People," "USA" and "Freedom." Many carried American flags and "Don't Tread On Me" banners. The event took place four days after Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the nation's toughest assault weapon and magazine restrictions.
In Connecticut, where task forces created by the Legislature and Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy are considering changes to gun laws, police said about 1,000 people showed up on the Capitol grounds.

The Worst TV Movies Starring Celebs You've Heard Of
Big news! Jason Priestly and Luke Perry are getting back together!…on a Hallmark movie. It will be Luke's second Hallmark Western in three years. Fun fact: almost every 90210 actor has starred in a made-for-TV Christmas special. It's tough times out there.
1. Luke Perry, A Gunfighter's Pledge, 2008
The plot summary from IMDB (I can't even begin to break this one down): "A escaped prisoner kills the wife and son of a former sheriff, Matt Austin, who sent him to jail long ago. Austin rides in pursuit and locates his quarry in a small town saloon. During the ensuing gunfight, an innocent bystander is shot and the murderer escapes. As a penance, the ex-lawman agrees to help the dead rancher's wife fend off a land baron's attempt to steal her property for its valuable water rights."
2. Patrick Stewart, Mysterious Island, 2005
An adaptation of the Jules Verne novel, also starring Kyle MacLachlan.
3. Sigourney Weaver, Prayers For Bobby, 2009
A TRUE STORY about a 70s Jesusfreak housewife and her gay son.
4. James Earl Jones, The Reading Room, 2005
From IMDB: "Making good on a promise he made to his dying wife, a widower (Jones) opens a reading room, a place where people can learn to read."
5. Julie Andrews, One Special Night, 1999
Grossest tagline ever.
6. Neil Patrick Harris, The Wedding Dress, 2001
The wedding dress in question jinxes every bride who plans to wear it, so that everyone ends up a spinster just like the audience.
7. Taraji P. Henson, Taken From Me, TBD
Deadline reports that Taraji will star in Taken From Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story, which will incorporate elements of a spy thriller.
8. Ryan Reynolds, School Of Life, 2005
Ryan plays Mr. D, the hip young art teacher with lung cancer. I urge you to read the rest of the plot here. It involves (SPOILER) the math teacher inheriting a dead Mr. D's car.
9. Thora Birch, Pregnancy Pact, 2010
(Based on the true story.) I can't even tell which girl is Thora. Teeny, what happened to you?!
10. Jason Priestly & Bradley Cooper, I Want To Marry Ryan Banks, 2004
This is pre-Wedding Crashers, so we probably shouldn't hold it against Bradley Cooper. He was just trying to make it big. Brandon, on the other hand…
11. Joan Allen And Jeremy Irons, Georgia O'Keeffe, 2009
Fine, they were nominated for SAG Awards, it's not that embarrassing.
12. Andrew McCarthy, Straight From The Heart, 2003
This is what Teri Polo was up to between breaking Josh Charles' heart on Sports Night and being First Lady II on West Wing. In case you'd been wondering.
13. Patrick Swayze (RIP), King Solomon's Mines, 2004
Patrick is hired to find Allison Doody's dad, who has been kidnapped by the Kukuanas. A Russian tzar is also involved.
14. Ally Sheedy, Citizen Jane, 2009
With a special appearance by Meat Loaf!
15. Jennie Garth, Girl, Positive, 2007
Kelly Taylor, I remember when you were having pregnancy scares of your own. (She had one, right? I remember Brenda's, but then they all went to not-UCLA and I'm just assuming it happened at some point to Kel. Dylan had some strong swimmers, if I recall.)
16. Paul Dano, Too Young To Be A Dad, 2002
This is really unfair, given how young Paul was at the time, but he was so cute!
17. Shirley MacClane, Coco Chanel, 2008
18. Brian Austin Green, This Time Around, 2003
BAG is the high school BMOC-turned-loser to some chick's nerd-turned-"record producer." Hijinks ensue.
19. Jennifer Jason Leigh, The Love Letter,
Post-Single White Female, pre-marrying-Noah-Baumbach-so-he'd-write-roles-for-her.
20. Molly Shannon & Steven Weber, More Of Me, 2007
3 Molly Shannons in 1 Lifetime movie. Yikes.
21. Jennifer Beals, My Name Is Sarah, 2007
It just so happens that the only of these movies I've seen is also the only movie that doesn't merit a promo poster.
22. Gérard Depardieu, La Femme Musketeer, 2004
Jacques D'Artagnan gets a daughter!
23. Anthony Michael Hall, Final Approach, 2007
AMH plays the terrorist hijacker to Dean Cain's disgraced FBI negotiator.
24. Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Amish Grace,
Yes, that is the cute daughter from Father of the Bride who used to date Pete Sampras. She's been in several TV movies, but I chose this one because I wanted to know the plot of Amish Grace. It is as follows: Amish schoolgirls are taken hostage and killed, most Amish people forgive the gunman, Kimberly cannot, Kimberly struggles, maybe sleeps with a non-Amish dude (it didn't say, I'm just guessing), Kimberly re-finds faith and forgiveness and forgets about her dead kid.
25. Lindsay Lohan, Labor Pains, 2009
Lindsay fakes pregnancy in order to keep her job. BASED ON THE TRUE STORY.
26. Shannen Doherty, Christmas Caper, 2007
Shhh, don't tell anyone I was in this movie.
27. Tori Spelling, A Carol Christmas, 2003
Tori Spelling plays Carol, a shallow tv-host who is visited by ghosts of various temporal modalities so that she can become a better person. It's a least a clever title.
28. Jennifer Love Hewitt, The Client List, 2010
3.9 million people watched this show.

DENVER — So, who you got?
'96 Jaguars or '12 Ravens? Mark Brunell or Joe Flacco?
Beaten by a hot team — or a choke job by the host team?
Saturday qualifies as a where-were-you moment in the life of a Broncos fan: Where were you when Denver trumped the loss to Jacksonville with a collapse that was worse?
On Jan. 4, 1997, Jacksonville won at Denver, 30-27.
On Jan. 12, 2013, Denver lost to Baltimore, 38-35.
It is fresh, and fresh wounds tend to sting just a tad more. But the Broncos' loss to the Ravens at Sports Authority Field came in double-overtime and was doubly painful.
"This is as tough as it gets," Brandon Stokley said.
The central difference between the upsets to Jacksonville and Baltimore: The Jags stormed into Mile High and beat the Broncos; the Ravens simply allowed the Broncos to give it away.
This was football charity. All the Broncos forgot was a ribbon and a bow.
I remember the day too clearly, even if I wasn't in the Broncos locker room after the loss to Brunell's Jags in '97. Those Broncos were 13.5-point favorites at Mile High.
Can't imagine it was more devastated than the locker room I witnessed Saturday, when the Broncos were 10-point favorites against the Ravens. Von Miller stayed in uniform, his head in his hands, while most of his teammates were showered and leaving.
Hard to say which was more numb: The 76,732 fans who stood through the second-coldest home game in club history, or the Broncos veterans who saw their season end with a thud.
"It's tougher the older you get, because you never know when that door is going to close," Champ Bailey said.
The Broncos doubled up the Ravens in their first meeting: 34-17 Dec. 16.
This time, the Broncos doubled down on dumb decisions.
Ten penalties, one shy of their season high. Attempting a 52-yard field goal with a wind chill around zero (and the Ravens turning the field position into a touchdown). Signing Peyton Manning — the NFL's record-holder for comeback victories — and then taking a knee to close regulation. With 30 seconds and two timeouts to spare.
"You know, if you don't win you get criticized on everything," coach John Fox said.
The official temperature at kickoff was 13 degrees. On a day frigid enough to freeze nose hairs, the Broncos suffered a loss that stung like a poorly stuck 2-iron.
"It was my fault," safety Rahim Moore said. "Plain and simple."
Let me be the first to disagree. This was not solely because Moore allowed Jacoby Jones to get behind him on a 70-yard Hail Mary that answered Baltimore prayers.
"That's their go-to play — it's all streaks," cornerback Chris Harris said.
"We preached all week: Don't give up the deep ball," Bailey said.
This was on the entire defense, which allowed the Ravens 479 yards on offense. Only twice this season did Baltimore gain more.
Only 129 tickets went unused. It was as if the Denver defenders forgot theirs.
"I don't feel sorry for us," defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson said.
And yes, this was on Peyton Manning.
"We got the Peyton Manning we thought we were getting," John Elway said in a recent interview on Denver radio station 104.3 The Fan.
He was right about that, right down to the playoff struggles that should knock Manning a notch below the Elways and Unitases and Bradys of the QB position.
Manning has been magic as a Bronco. But the numbers no longer can be ignored. He is 9-11 as a starter in the playoffs. As in, 9-1-1, dial for help.
Glove or no glove, Manning has been one-and-done eight times in his playoff career. With a bye week, it is as though he's given an extra week to overanalyze the next opponent.
Denver so outclassed Baltimore, the only way the Broncos could lose was with turnovers. Manning committed three, including an interception that set up Justin Tucker's game-winning field goal.
Baltimore didn't put Denver's Super Bowl dreams on ice. The Broncos froze out themselves.
"I wasn't quite as good as I wanted to be," Manning said.
The '12-13 Broncos were 13-3 and seeded No. 1.
The '96-97 Broncos were 13-3 and seeded No. 1.
The Broncos weren't close to where they should've been — not then or now.
This loss hurt more, and will for longer.

"There are only eight two-storey penthouse units in the building, and even fewer with a terrace like this one," says listing agent Melanie Wilson. "The view from the terrace is clear, south to downtown, west and north. The terrace is large, private and perfect for parties."
The two-storey living space has a roof-top terrace, not a common find in Toronto penthouses, she says.
A double closet in the foyer and a fireplace in the combination living and dining room are features. Stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove, and a granite counter in the kitchen are other highlights of the two-bedroom, three-bathroom suite.
"The view from the living space on the main level and the second bedroom is spectacular, especially at night. The master has its own private balcony ideal for sitting out and enjoying coffee in the morning," Ms. Wilson says.
Updates include wide plank bamboo flooring and trim, heated floors in the recently renovated bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows and an upgraded urban steel-and-wood staircase.
