Travel Blogs from Rome
Rome Rocks!!
Yesterday we spent the day driving to Rome with a stopoff at a quaint town called Olievito for lunch. Was very good to see.
Arrived in Rome-very nice hotel-very big rooms-but very hot in Rome! Went on a walking tour and saw the Spanish Steps and the Trevi fountain etc. All very cool-but very crowded! Did the usual-toss a coin in the Trevi …
On the Go in Ancient Rome
Today was probably the busiest day we've had on the tour so far! In the morning we met up with our local guide, Christina, to visit the Colosseum and Forum. Because of some complicated rules, Mihaela is not able to guide tours in Italy. It's apparently a two year certification process. The bus dropped us off just down the street from the Colosseum …
The Agony and the Ecstasy
We got an early start and met our local guide for our last adventures in Rome- the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. I'm so excited! I've dreamed of seeing the ceiling and walls since I was a kid, and I can't believe we're about to be there in person!
We entered the Vatican Museum knowing that we would only see a sliver of what it had to …
When in Rome, Drink Wine!
Driving into Rome was a very strange experience for me. It's a very developed city kind of dirty and congested. More like a backwards New York than the ancient Rome that we'd envisioned. Cars are double parked EVERYWHERE! It's really unbelievable. Not what either of us expected!
We got to the hotel and got ourselves ready for our …
Let the Tour Begin!
We had breakfast and decided we need a bit of retail therapy Italian style. Our plan was to go to Via del Corso but once we got in the taxi our driver said that the shops there weren't open on Monday morning. So instead he took us to a shopping centre out near the airport. He was called Valerio and was very helpful, and so we arranged that he would …
Historical Traveler Reviews Parco Tirreno Rome
Great is you want to combine sight-seeing with relaxing
My partner and I stayed here for 5 nights in July and we will definately stay here next time we visit Rome.This hotel is perfect if you want to combine sight-seeing with relaxing around a pool after a busy day. It is located a few metro stops from the main sights, however this wasn't a problem as the metro station was close-by. The rooms were spacious and clean, staff were helpful and the food was good.
Great hotel but location not for everyone
I stayed at the Parco Tirreno from 28th July to 4th August 2005 and really have to say that the hotel was great. The reception staff all speak perfect English and were at all times polite and helpful. The location is what will upset some people as there is a 5 minute walk to the Metro (Cornelia) and then a journey of 20 - 40mins (depending on time of day) into the City Centre. It's also worth remembering that the Metro closes at 23.30 weekdays (00.30 Saturdays), so, if you wish to avoid Taxi fares, you must return early every night. That said, taxis from City Centre (Colluseum area) were only 11 Euros.
Wouldn't stay here again
Things started badly when the parking we saw advertised as free is not, and is charged at 10 euros a day. After reading the reviews on here, we paid the extra for a superior room and yes, it was nicely decorated, a good size, had a nice balcony and a lovely view. As others have said, there was a small kitchen with fridge - but all the cupboards were empty - not even a kettle or a mug, so it seemed a bit pointless really. The air conditioning worked well, and the room and bathroom had clearly been newly refitted. However, the finish around the bath was very poor, the shower head was loose and there was lots of mould around the grouting/bath seal. The walls were paper thin, we could hear everything going on in the bathroom next door. The double bed was also 2 single beds (VERY hard) with about a 6" gap between them, and a single large headboard behind them - no use for a romantic weekend! There was no visitor information pack in the room (e.g. info on pool, restaurant, breakfast, checkout times etc) and breakfast finished at 9.30 - way too early for us on holiday! The bar was supposed to open at 6pm but didn't open till 6.30 when we were there. It also shut at 11 which is a bit early if you have been out in Rome and have come back before the public transport finishes! Food in the restaurant was excellent, however, and reasonably priced.
Good Hotel
My husband and I stayed at this hotel 20th - 27th July 2005 and found the reception staff very helpful and they spoke perfect English. The room was always clean and fresh towels provided - also the air conditioning worked a treat - perfect for that week as the weather was hot. We had one evening meal at the hotel on the first night (it was at the waiter service rather than the self service and was good) but for the remainder we ate out at several of the restaurants which were within walking distance of the hotel and were excellent value. The metro which took us to all the main tourist attractions was within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel pool was large but quite often local swimmers used it to train - it was sectioned off into lanes which meant that maybe two lanes were occupied by trainers and the rest left to the holidaymakers.
Very unimpressed
Outside and reception fine but not a four star. Room very old fashioned, decor grotty beds uncomfortable. Tiny shower. Very disappointed.
It was okay
Good points - the grounds are lovely, the rooms are huge, there is a kitchen, there are many, many closets (7 for the rooms).
Bad points - one stand alone air conditioner for 2 rooms is not sufficient. We put the mattesses from the bedroom into the living room in order to sleep. The furniture is mismatched and is not complete, i.e. we had a table but no chairs, the next room had chairs but no table. The cleaniness is okay but the whole thing looked a bit shoddy. We had a cot with no sheets, etc.
The price is exceptional and I guess that makes it a deal.
Well worth a visit
Had a really good time, staff were very helpful and polite. Most spoke excellent english. Food was delicious and very reasonable. Would definitely make a return trip. Rooms were a bit basic, but were spotlessly clean. Metro less than 10 mins walk from hotel. Used the hotel limo for our return trip to the airport - first class service there too!
Good accommodation suitable for families
Stayed here August 2003 and returning again in a few months time.
Easy hotel to drive to, as it is just off the main ring road motorway, one road, Via Aurelia, so easy to find. Rooms have a separate air-con double bedroom and a double sofabed. Kitchen area also and balcony. Use of swimming pool, next to the hotel with a snackbar. Approx. 6 minute walk to metro taking you directly into the centre in just several stops. Good especially for families as it is very hard to find a hotel with a swimming pool in Rome and one that can actually accommodate you all in same room.
As long as you do not mind catching the metro to sights, this hotel offers very good value for money. Friendly reception and good buffet breakfast!
Great deal and has a kitchen!!!
We love this hotel! Convenient to the metro, has a kitchen, free parking, and easy on and off the freeway. We stay here whenever we are in Rome.
A garden spot in Rome
Just returned from a 9 night stay this past October.The property was undergoing extensive renovation with nets on the front of the exterior.Not very attractive when arriving from an overseas flight however this presented no problem durnong our stay.Location was out a bit in an residential area but with the metro a few blocks away this resent no problem.The hotel is in a lovely setting with gardens and quite in the evening.The rooms were fine although I would insist on a bath room with both tub bath and shower as the single rooms had a very small hand held shower.The bottom line if you do not mind being out it is a good value for the dollar and the staff was fine and spoke excellent English.

Vikings QB's were given up on with far less than 26 starts. Hell after 6 starts or less even.
Are you saying you haven't given up on Webb? :P
I'll ask the question that's been asked by others for several years....
"How many starts does he need?"
With that said, I believe Ponder will be here next year since there is no other clear cut alternative & he did just enough to save himself for perhaps one more year. Missing the playoff game might have been his saving grace. Had he played & stunk it up, the Vikings might have gone QB shopping in the offseason.

Bill O'Reilly put his foot so far down his throat with misogynistic statements that not even other Fox News commentators could agree with him.
Fox News and other conservative outlets have uncovered Hillary Clinton's age, rehashing the age-old question with a misogynist twist: How old is too old to run for president?
"Possessing the Ukraine without massive force is a fool's errand," exclaims the pundit. "There are too many borders, it just passes back between East and West."
The murky (and possibly deadly) hotel water and the U.S. bobsledder who had to break out of his bathroom are not worthy of the pundit's attention.
Now, according to the late night show host, you can know the exact second you will perish.
Tuesday's Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger segment of "The Colbert Report" was an "All-China" edition, though somehow Kim Jong Un got in to the mix. From China's pernicious smog levels to its recent landing on the moon, the faux-conservative pundit gives us the rundown on some current events in Asia.
The National Security Agency has been plastered all over the news since Edward Snowden leaked documents showing how widespread American surveillance is. But, as the late night pundit points out, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is also doing a pretty darn good job playing Big Brother.
Fox News is teeming with Christmas spirit, preparing its audience for the giving season by making sure no one hands out anything to the "poors" plaguing this great nation.
Amazon's latest "Prime Air" plan to drop your orders on your doorstep in half an hour leaves a lot to be desired. But Stephen Colbert has come up with a brilliant way for people to get products instantly—all he needs is Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' money.
For those of you suffering from Colbert withdrawals while he's on a holiday break, the pundit generously created this clip so, according to Colbert himself, you can spend Thanksgiving with the thing you're most thankful for: him.
The Dow Jones is hitting record highs, giving the top 5 percent of the U.S. (who hold more than 80 percent of stocks) another huge boost. And although Stephen Colbert doesn't think the wealth divide is a big deal, former Truthdigger of the Week Robert Reich begs to differ.
Obamacare's "failure to launch" has some Republicans celebrating American liberals' demise. Thankfully Stephen Colbert has a facetious skit or two to prove them wrong.
In his "Difference Makers" segment, Stephen Colbert introduces us to the man who will keep America safe from surveillance drones—or at the very least, Deer Trail, Colo. As Colbert puts it, Steel's a man famous for "shooting for the stars," a phrase that takes on new meaning as the Centennial State vigilante cocks his shotgun and aims at it at the sky.
Just because Viacom owns the network that Stephen Colbert's program is on doesn't mean the media conglomerate and its multitude of broadcast and cable channels are safe from his satirical touch.
A look at the day's political happenings, including Stephen Colbert skewers McDonald's over its unrealistic employee budget tool and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stirs things up with House Speaker John Boehner.
"The Colbert Report" host has figured out a solution to how poor Americans needing food stamps can get them back after the program was removed from the GOP-controlled House's recently passed farm bill.

A look at the day's political happenings, including Chris Christie being omitted from a major conservative event and Stephen Colbert breaks character to make his first political endorsement.
Stephen Colbert's big sister is picking up right where the satirist left off, by announcing she's running in the South Carolina special election to succeed Tim Scott in the House. Scott was recently appointed to the Senate after Jim DeMint vacated the seat—a position, it should be noted, that Colbert had publicly sought.
A look at the day's political happenings, including Mark Sanford's attempt to resurrect his political career and Stephen Colbert grills Piers Morgan about the U.S. Constitution.
Gov. Nikki Haley's appointment is a tea party-backed congressman who wants to kick entire families off of food stamps for supporting unions, give billions in subsidies to the major oil companies and spend taxpayer dollars to display the Ten Commandments on government property.
A look at the day's political happenings, including an update on Hillary Clinton's health scare, why a pizza chain founder is suing the Obama administration and what Stephen Colbert is doing with the rest of his super PAC money.

A look at the day's political happenings, including the release of May presidential campaign fundraising figures, how Citizens United affected the Wisconsin recall and the controversy surrounding recent comments made by Bill Clinton.
On Wednesday, Comedy Central announced that "The Colbert Report," one of its most successful and perennially popular offerings, would be airing repeats that night and Thursday. Taping of the show on those two days was canceled. No big whoop, except the network didn't offer much of an explanation for the show's sudden hiatus. Updated
Being a Catholic himself, Stephen Colbert is able to break down for the layperson (read: godless liberal) the Vatican's stance on contraception, which recently became a hot-button (read: wedge) issue for Campaign 2012.

Sure, there's the GOP symbol, but the real elephant in the room has been the super PAC, the turbocharged political action committee able to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money on political ads — as long as that spending isn't coordinated with a particular campaign.

"I felt really weak and did only two major films `Yathrakkarude Sradhakku' and `Photographer' during that time. Ranjan Pramod was keen that I should compose music for `Photographer.' Though I was reluctant initially, I did a good job. I really enjoyed the work, but sadly the film didn't do well."
The three songs, `Enthe Kannanu,' `Pulchadi' and `Kadalolam,' however, went on to become big hits and were praised for its charm and freshness. And he promises more.
The rise of Johnson, from a violinist with the `Voice of Trichur' to one of the best the Malayalam film music has ever seen, has been mercurial, and the credit must go to Devarajan who spotted the talent in him and took him along.
His master's disciple
The disciple of Devarajan treaded his master's footsteps. He made his debut with `Aaravom' (1978) and later came the association with directors like the late Padamarjan and Bharathan, and also with filmmakers like T.V. Chandran, Mohan, Sathyan Anthikkad, Sibi Malayil, Kamal among others. And we were gifted with songs such as `Adi vaa kattae... ' (`Koodevide'), `Gopike... ' (`Kattathe Kilikkoodu'), `Devanganangal... ' (`Njan Gandharvan'), `Thane Poovitta... ' (`Sasneham'), `Kanner Poovinte ... ' (`Kireedom'), `Madhuram Jeevamrutha... ' (`Chenkole'), `Pathirapullunarnnu... ' (`Ee Puzhayum Kadannu'), `Sooryamsu' (`Pakshe') to mention only a few.
And then there are his background scores, which he never overplayed, but have only gelled well with the tone of the movies. One such serene touch in `Ponthan Mada' won him a National award. Johnson won the National Award twice and the Kerala State Award on five occasions.
"The movies of the late `80s and the `90s were more realistic. Everyone had doubts about `Doore Doore Sagaram... ' (`Varavelpu'), since it came almost at the fag end with just two characters on screen. But I had the confidence, and the song made an impact."
A blessing
It's his self-confidence that keeps him going and on his composing he says: "I believe it's a divine blessing. I get a spark. A final shape is given to it after hearing the story. For me, whether it's songs or background score, everything is a spontaneous process."
"I work hard, make all the needed corrections and then present it before others. I can't rework on my product, which according to me is final. If you ask me why, the answer is: that's me," says the musician. He gives due credit to the lyricists and singers for his hits and showers praise on S. Janaki. When it comes to fast numbers, isn't he a little reserved? "I'm particular that the music should not disturb the lyrics and the total mood and meaning. For me that's a priority."
Calling himself a third-generation artist - the first being Devarajan, Baburaj, Dakshinamoorthy and others, and the second consisting of Syam, A.T. Ummer and others - Johnson feels that the transition from one generation to other had been rather smooth. "Our generation had to concentrate on the orchestration part a bit more than our predecessors, but that was the need of the hour."
Talking about the current generation of composers, Johnson is deeply sad and extremely angry at some `unhealthy' trends. "A few newcomers are neglecting the great musicians of the past and our living legends like Dakshinamoorthy with their imposing ways and ambitious methods. They try to act smart at times. Those trends should be nipped in the bud."

Secret Recipe: Roasted Dungeness from Scoma's
7x7 asks the city's chefs for the recipes to their most loved cocktails, bar snacks, starters, mains, and desserts. If there's a dish you can't stop thinking about and want to make at home, email firstname.lastname@example.com. Your wish may end up on the blog, along with the actual recipe from the chef.
When Scoma's opened in 1965 in Fisherman's Wharf, the owners (brothers Joe and Al Scoma) based their menu on some of their mother's favorite recipes. This one is a classic and a great basic guide to roasting Dungeness (season's up in June, by the way) that you can riff off of with whatever spices you have in the cupboard. If you've never worked with crab before, ask your fishmonger to clean and crack it for you.
1 whole Dungeness crab, cleaned and cracked
3 large garlic cloves, chopped and lightly browned
3 ounces (about 6 tablespoons) extra virgin olive oil
1⁄2 lemon
1/8 teaspoon salt and ground pepper
1 teaspoon fresh Italian parsley, chopped
2 lemon wedges
1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees
2. Place cracked crab in a heavy skillet that fits inside the oven.
3. Combine garlic and olive oil and pour over crab. Add salt and pepper and toss well.
4. Roast in oven for 12-15 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and squeeze lemon over crab. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve in a large bowl with a crab fork.

NEW ORLEANS — Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputy Donald Clogher was recuperating Thursday after being dragged across a parking lot while clinging to a fleeing vehicle -- for the second time in his career.
Clogher, a narcotics agent, helped other narcotics officers stop a pickup truck Wednesday about 11:45 p.m. in the 3200 block of Jefferson Highway in Old Jefferson. They suspected that two men inside had taken part in a drug deal moments before, the Sheriff's Office said.

Just a southern Indiana guy livin' a southern Indiana life with a passion for the Indianapolis Colts.
Proudly married to my high school sweetheart, and my daughter is a golden retriever named Abigail (or Abby for short) who wears a Colt's shirt on game days and when we stroll the back country roads of my little Indiana town.
Besides wasting my time on the internet on a Colt's blog, earning a paycheck, and crossing my fingers for a Colt's win, I love kayaking, camping, and I guess anything else outdoors including fires, alcohol, hunting, fishing, beer-pong, or preferably doing all in the same day.

Creating today's post was such a sweet stroll down Memory Lane for me. Over the past year, I've been fortunate to work with some seriously amazing brands and meet so many inspiring fellow bloggers. I've posted and tweeted, Instagrammed, regrammed and later-grammed. I genuinely love the work that I get to do, and it's all thanks to you, my fabulous readers. Through your comments, emails and social media messages, I feel so connected and cozy within this interactive fashion community, and I couldn't be more thankful. I'm so proud of how far this little blog has come, and I'm so excited for what's ahead. So here's to you and cheers to a fantastic (and fashionable) 2013! xoxo Breaking our usual tradition of New Year's Eve at a cabin in the mountains, this year we plan to spend the evening at home with friends, and I couldn't be happier. That said, I've decided that a NYE at home shouldn't put a stop to the all out glam feel of the night, and this dress is simply stunning. Keep the look classic with a sky-high grey patent heel and a jewel-toned clutch, and add an unexpected finish with delicate gold jewelry. Let's face it, I may not get THIS decked out, but at least I can live vicariously through my fabulous readers. What are your plans for the big night? And, more importantly, what on earth are you going to wear? xoxo Get the Look!1. Parker Art Deco Beaded Dress $396 2. Monserat de Lucca Circle Sphere Earrings $62 3. Bombom Jewelry Gold Dainty Diamond Stackable Ring $80 4. Dara Ettinger Beth Ring $77 5. Allsaints Rogue Court Heel $250 6. Marc by Marc Jacobs Skinny Bracelet $52 7.

Wonder, (c/o) Piperlme, Sugar Boutique; Rings: (c/o) Gorjana On our way out of Louisiana yesterday the weather finally started to feel like winter, so I was happy that I packed this cozy cocoon-like sweater that had been buried in my closet for a couple years. Paired with leggings, flat boots and a new winter cape, it was the perfect sweater for flight delays, missed connections, an eventual airport rerouting and an overall long day of travel. In the end, it's great to be back, and I'm looking forward to a laidback weekend. Hope everyone is having a great week so far! xoxo Dress: (c/o) C&C California; Booties: DV by Dolce Vita; Clutch: (c/o) Gorjana; Necklace: (c/o) Gorjana Always unpredictable, our Louisiana Christmas was warm and windy, with a chance of tornadoes. For some reason, I packed for actual winter weather, so this cashmere and leather mini dress by C&C California was about the most heatwave-friendly outfit I could come up with for making the Christmas rounds. Regardless, we had a great day spending time (and overeating) with family and friends. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! xoxo It's the most wonderful time of the year! I hope everyone is having an amazing holiday, and I can't wait to spend the next two days celebrating holiday traditions with family, friends and my main squeeze. Whether you're dressing up for a festive Christmas Eve or already planning for New Year's Eve, a little red dress is eye-catching and full of holiday cheer. Keep warm with a faux fur coat, fleece-lined tights and adorable cap-toe booties, and finish the look with a tasseled clutch and statement bracelet. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! xoxo Get the Look!If the holiday hustle and bustle has you feeling a little less than refreshed, then this weekend is the perfect time to recharge. Blame my Southern roots, but for me, nothing says relaxation better than a hot bath, so it's no surprise I get pretty excited about luxe new bath products. If you're like me, you definitely need to add Prestiche's line (the "Mineral Treat" in Lavender is a personal fave) to your pre- or post-holiday de-stress repertoire. Head on over to Prestiche.com to stock up on a wide array of gimmick-free, yummy-smelling goods, and you just may find that a little well-deserved "me time" is just the ticket to get you back in the holiday spirit. Oh, and use code "nikki60" at checkout to receive 60% off of everything sitewide. Yep, 60% off. Good times, kids. Hope everyone has a great (and relaxing) weekend!
xoxo This winter I'm all about rounding up the outerwear essentials that my closet has been lacking, and a military-inspired coat or cape was definitely at the top of the list. Basic black skinnies and a neutral sweater are instantly polished when partnered with sleek leather boots and this fatigue-colored coat. A utilitarian-esque messenger, wool hat and minimal jewelry choices finish the simple chic look. What essential pieces are lacking from your winter wardrobe? xoxo Get the Look!1.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Preppy Nylon Sia Bag $138 It seems that once again this year, despite my best efforts, I've managed to save a chunk of my holiday shopping for the last minute. But hey, what's done is done, and I'm a people person, so what could be better than four million shoppers and one compact parking spot? If you share my fate, then the least you can do is arm yourself with a little cozy comfort. Second skin jeans. Loose tee. Ultra soft cardigan. Even softer faux fur scarf. No heels, no ma'am. And for Pete's sake, keep your handbag handsfree and towards the smaller end of the spectrum. You'll thank me later. Happy shopping, y'all! xoxo Get the Look!1. Dorothy Perkins Bailey Midwash Ultra Stretch Super Skinny Jeans $44 2. T by Alexander Wang Classic Tee with Pocket $98 3. Rebecca Taylor Martine Studded Shoulder Bag $135 4.

Topshop Faux Fur Tuck Stole $40 If the holiday sweets and obligatory eggnog have already left you feeling a bit stuffed into your skinny jeans, then this sweatshirt-turned-minidress is just what the doctor ordered. Jazz up the comfy, cozy little number with platform shoe-boots and over-the-knee socks, and compliment the laidback vibe with a floral scarf and quilted messenger bag. Finish the look with standout silver jewelry and mod-meets-retro shades for a cool, girl-about-town appeal.

"Divorce is easy" (Only people who have never been divorced say that)
In the thousands of times that I have sat across the desk from an individual contemplating ending their marriage, I have on only two occasions, had a person acknowledge that they fully expected the relationship to end this way. The point being, everyone is surprised when they end up in a divorce lawyers office. Everyone is surprised when their relationship is the one that ends in some fashion other than "death do us part". No one expects it, because everyone believes it when they say, "In sickness and in health", "For richer for poorer". We humans are imminently hopeful beings. We want it to work. We know the statistics, yet we march down the aisle and say those words. Each one of us who has done so, did it and said it, and believed it, and had total confidence that WE were the couple that would beat the odds. We heard what the personal skeptics said, the ones who told us we were too different, it would never work, we were too young, too old, too naïve, and did it anyways. Because we believed it. We would be different.
The shock of ending up in my office is overwhelming. I get it. I did it. I was a disaster when I unexpectedly ended up in the office of one of my colleagues as a client, after 19 years of marriage. I was the same as any of my clients. Shocked, ashamed, bewildered, disoriented and numb.
Every study on the subject tells us that half or more of marriages end in divorce. Everyone knows it. It doesn't help to ease the pain of that moment.
Pundits and many religious teachers say that there are so many divorces because it has become too easy. That myth likely began when states like California began "No Fault" Divorce. Which just means, if you ask for a divorce, you get a divorce. Period. Who did what to who, is not a consideration in the granting of a divorce. "Dissolution of Marriage" is the legal term. Changing the verbiage has not made it easier. Changing the burden of proof, to "Irreconcilable Differences" (That's the fancy term for No Fault) has perhaps in some ways shortcut the litigation, but the pain is the same.
The grieving process is what it is. There is no court order or legal process to change the way people do it, and everyone grieves the end of the marriage that they expected to last until death. Even if they are relieved to be away from a person who was a danger, aggravation or nuisance, the grieving still must happen. The bargaining, the anger, the sadness, it all happens. Everytime.
It is not ever "easy". Some cases move faster and with less drama and legal activity than others, but I have yet to see one in which it was "easy" for the parties.
The purpose here, it to help people appreciate this. I am occasionally frustrated, when I have this conversation, one on one, for the umpteen thousandth time. I keep thinking, if only people knew. It takes a great deal of courage to make an appointment with a lawyer and actually show up to talk about this. I am certain that there are many people who are having this emotional process going on and think they are the only one. The only one plagued by the failure, the shame, the disarray that occurs in the life of one grieving the loss of relationship, and I want to help them know that it is a process, with stages, and there is something better on the other side.
It is notoriously, one of those awful times in life, that the only way out is through. If I could speak to those people, I would tell them to talk to someone, a lawyer, a therapist, and explore the options, take a step, start the process, of whatever it is you need to do. It can't get better through inaction.
I believe that any marriage can be saved, but we all know that many just are not. It is not the end of the world, it just feels like it. Divorces happen because people are human and flawed. When two flawed humans come together, not only do they not fix each other, sometimes they make each other worse. In and through it all, humans keep signing up and walking down that aisle. The death of that expectation and hope of "forever", is anything but "easy".

I Need A MAX user to re-compile a program
Dec 3, 2009 at 2:08am
I Need A MAX user to re-compile a programI'm interested in an open source program called Chroma Key Live. It's only available for MAC OS – and I am running Windows Vista 64 bit. I wrote to the author about it and he responded; "Chroma Key Live could theoretically be compiled on Windows Since Chroma Key Live is open source, your best bet is to find somebody Maybe ask on the MAX/MSP/Jitter forums if anybody is willing to take the http://cycling74.com/forums/forum.php?id=2 So, here I am. What I want to do is to plug a camera into my computer (Firewire or USB) and play a DVD (also on computer) and superimpose an actor in front of a green screen on the DVD video. I've found lots of options to do this in "post-production", but only a couple programs to do it live. Anyone interested in the project? How much would it cost? |
Dec 3, 2009 at 4:08pm
fwiw, you won't be able to composite over a dvd with this app. you could possibly add that ability using jit.desktop, but won't be as efficient. this patch gives you the ability to load a quicktime movie to play in the background. |

Uncle Tony
March 13, 2010
Subscribe to RSS feed
The first time I called on Uncle Tony at the Long Island supply house where he worked for most of his life (and this was went I was quite young and astonishingly stupid) I walked in without the donuts. Uncle Tony greeted me with a big, "Danny! How are you, kid? How's my sister?" He even gave me a hug.
Then he leaned around me, both sides. He stepped back, looked at the top of my head and then my feet and then again at my hands. "Where are the donuts?" he asked.
"I'm supposed to bring donuts?" I said.
Uncle Tony looked from me to the Mel, the other counterman. Mel shook his head and walked down an aisle. Then Uncle Tony looked at the contractors who were waiting at the counter. They all looked at me like I was something picked from a nose. They also shook their heads. Idiot.
And here's what happened next: Uncle Tony, who had the agility of a squirrel in those days, came around the counter like the place was on fire. He grabbed my arm with a meaty hand that felt like a four-foot wrench and dragged me out the front door and onto the sidewalk.
"Never come in here without the donuts," he said.
"Uncle Tony!" I said. "You're kidding, right?"
"EH!" he said, pointing a stiff finger at my mouth, which did the right thing and closed immediately. "Donuts," he snarled and went back inside. I stood on the sidewalk like an orphan and then went to get the donuts.
That was my first sales call on my Uncle Tony. It actually went better than it might have, but that was only because he was my mother's little brother. And he loved me.
I was in there one day when a contractor stopped by to ask Uncle Tony a question. The guy started going on and on about this job and how many times he had tried to get it right but it just wasn't working like it should. This was during the days before we had an Internet and when a contractor got into trouble on a job about the only place he could go if he didn't have a father in the business was to his wholesaler, who was supposed to have an answer for everything.
Uncle Tony stood there listening. He was as quiet as a medicine cabinet. Every now and then he would nod a bit. The more Uncle Tony listened, the more the contractor talked. Finally, Uncle Tony held out the palm of his right hand like a cop stopping traffic. "Is this going to take much longer?" he asked.
"Wadda ya mean?" the contractor asked.
"The story. Is it going to take much longer?"
"Yeah, a little bit longer," the contractor said.
"Minutes or hours?"
"I don't know yet," the contractor said.
"Okay, then hang on," Uncle Tony said. He reached under the counter and came up with a fuzzy blanket and a Teddy Bear that some kid had left in the place years ago when the kid's parents were in there looking at sinks. He climbed up on the counter and stretched out. He nuzzled the Teddy Bear, pulled the blanket up around his chin, said to the contractor, "Please. Go on." And then he stuck his thumb in his mouth and started to suck.
The contractor stood there with eyes as big as manhole covers.
And that's what I was thinking about when I was kneeling at the coffin. What a business this is that grown men can do stuff like that and be loved for it. What a wonderfully wacky business.
My father and Uncle Tony used to work together at a Manhattan supply house. Go to that neighborhood now and you can't believe there used to be such a place there. Uncle Tony moved way out onto Long Island and took a job at the place I've been telling you about. My father stayed on in the city, at the much bigger place. The man who owned Uncle Tony's supply house was an old fellow who seemed to be made out of spare parts from different Muppets. He was worth about a zillion dollars but he didn't spend any of it on clothes or hygiene. From time to time, he'd need something that he didn't carry at his Long Island supply house, so he'd get in his car, which looked about as weary as he did, and he'd drive to Manhattan, to my father's place.
"Nobody knew who he was," my father would tell me. "He'd stand at the counter and they'd wait on everybody except him. He was as patient as death."
My father was the shipping clerk and whenever he'd spot Uncle Tony's boss he'd leave his office and go wait on him. He'd call him by name, get all his stuff together, carry it out to his old beater and put it in the trunk, or the back seat, or the front seat. Or wherever. He'd chat a bit, show respect, and come away with a tip that was usually bigger than his weekly check.
He mentioned to me that there's a lesson there. Mentioned it more than a few times, may he rest in peace
But I digress.
Another time (and this was Uncle Tony with a different contractor): This guy is asking Uncle Tony a question about a job that the guy should never have taken on because he just didn't have the knowledge. He was replacing parts, one after another, without a clue, but that is also the wacky nature of this business, isn't it? Everyone gets to work on plumbing and heating in the U.S. of A.
Time goes by and Uncle Tony is being a medicine cabinet again - quiet and occasionally nodding. I'm waiting for the blanket and the bear, and sure enough, up comes the palm to stop the guy's words like an eight-inch globe valve.
"You are today's winner!" Uncle Tony says. "You can stop right there."
"Wadda ya mean?" the contractor says.
"Here," Uncle Tony says, handing the guy a toy sheriff's badge. "You can wear this for the rest of the day. Bring it back tomorrow."
The guy looks at the badge, which has a piece of masking tape over its front. On the masking tape, written with a thick felt-tipped marker are the letters D.F.
The guy looks at the badge and then pins it on his shirt. He smiles. "What does D.F. stand for?" he asks.
"Think about it," Uncle Tony says.
The guy thinks for a good long moment and then says, "Oh." And then he cracks up.
We all laugh. Uncle Tony helped the guy, of course. He gave him the advice he needed and the parts, just as he had done with the Teddy Bear guy. That was the thing about Uncle Tony and those times. There was a lot of chop-busting and I think much of that had to do with there not being an Internet. Contractors had fewer places to go back then, and their wholesaler was the technical center of their universe. I see less of what Uncle Tony and my father at his New York supply house used to get away with. Times change. People retire. They grow old and sometimes lose their memories, as was the case with Uncle Tony. They leave others to remember.
I really should have brought donuts to his wake.

Real Name:
Best meal I ever ate:
My grandmother's fried fish, red snapper or speckled trout, skin on, and her fried chicken. I've got the fish down pretty well, I can't touch her chicken.
My current drink of choice:
I really like a good margaita, best is at Arturo's in Nuevo Progresso just across the border. Just lime juice, cazadores, and controy. Somehow the controy tastes better than actual cointreau.
I really wish I could:
Have enough time and money to fish and play golf. I can only be good at one, for now it's fishing.
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
What, exactly, is a dinner party?
My favorite comfort food:
Oysters anywhere, anyway, anytime.
My top 5 favorite restaurants:
Brennan's Houston, Carrabba's Original on Kirby (not the chain), Red Snapper Inn, Surfside, Galvan's Bbq, Richmond, El Tiempo on Washington, Loew's Drive Inn Theater snack bar as a teenage cook
My most tattered cookbooks:
Oceans of Cooking from Rockport also Pirates Pantry out of Louisiana.

Nomades (Les)
222 East Ontario Street, Chicago, IL 60611Map
+1 312 649 9010
email: email@example.com
Neighborhood: Near North Side/ River North
Les Nomades is tucked into what looks to be a quiet townhouse, originally opened as a private dining club, but has since been opened to the public at large. Jackets and ties are required of gentlemen in both the brightly lit downstairs or in the Salon du Upstairs, which features warm, cherry paneled-walls and a fireplace. Both rooms offer such entrees as ravioli of lobster with grilled scallop, shrimp and eggless Bearnaise sauce. The dishes are expensive, though, with the average dinner running around $60. This is one of the most elegant and exclusive restaurants in Chicago, so be sure to make a reservation early to ensure your table.

Andhra assembly remains paralysed over Telangana bill
Hyderabad, Jan 7 : The Andhra Pradesh assembly was adjourned again Tuesday without any debate on the bill for formation of separate Telangana state as the stalemate continued due to strong opposition from Seemandhra legislators.
Speaker N. Manohar adjourned the house thrice, the third time for the day as the house was rocked by utter pandemonium.
The Seemandhra legislators of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and YSR Congress party surrounded the speaker's podium raising slogans in support of united Andhra Pradesh. The lawmakers from Telangana countered them with the demand for immediate debate on the bill.
For the fourth consecutive day, the house was adjourned without taking up the bill for the debate.
The four-hour long meeting of Business Advisory Committee (BAC) Monday failed to break the impasse with Seemandhra legislators of TDP and YSR Congress refusing to budge from their stand.
The TDP wanted the bill to be sent back to President Pranab Mukherjee with a resolution to urge him to reconsider bifurcation of the state while YSR Congress demanded that the house pass a resolution in support of united Andhra Pradesh.
The legislative council also remained parlaysed over the issue. Legislative Affairs Minister S. Sailajanth told the council amid the uproar that the government is ready for debate. He said those stalling the debate were in fact helping in the bifurcation of the state.
President Mukherjee had last month referred Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill 2013 to the state assembly for its views under article 3 of the constitution. The bill was tabled in the assembly on Dec 16 but no debate could be taken up due to protest by Seemandhra legislators.
The winter session resumed Jan 3 but the deadlock on the bill continued. The president has given time till Jan 23 to the assembly to send back the bill with its views.

The evening begins with hors d'oeuvres and a silent auction from 6:00-8:00pm, dinner at 7:00pm and live auction at 8:00pm. You never know which "celebrities" you'll rub elbows with while you're there…from Fred Flintstone to Elvis to the Lil' Rascals, we've had them all! How does it all work? People who sponsor tables choose a theme, get their own "celebrity waiters" (dressing them according to their theme) and decorate their table! Guests are also asked to participate by dressing to fit their table's theme. Waiters raise money by collecting tips for serving a three-course meal and, if the price is right, might be coaxed into performing zany antics for big tips. This year we'll be starting table challenges as well. Anyone who plans to attend the event may want to come prepared with some extra cash, because silverware, napkins, drinks and maybe even the guests' dinner could be withheld by the waiter until a tip is given. Chances to win a $500.00 Cash Shopping Spree will also be on sale for $2.00 each or three for $5.00. See any Foundation Board member or contact the Foundation office. The lucky winner will be announced at the Celebrity Waiter event and does not have to be present to win. The Auction committee has collected a number of unique items that will be included in both live and silent auctions. There's definitely something for everyone! For the traveler, there will be a 4-night/5-day home rental in Edisto Island. For the sports fanatic, a variety of autographed sports items. For the lady, there's jewelry. Other items going on the auction block include rugs by Milliken, Mohawk and Rugs of Distinction, home accessories, dining and food certificates, golf packages to area courses, shag lessons, and a potting bench and glider from Overhold Wood 'N Crafts – just to name a few! Back by popular demand, Roddy Gray will serve as emcee for the evening and Allen Gambrel as the live auctioneer so be prepared for more laughs…and to spend even more money! In 2000, the event's first year, just over $7,000 was raised. Last year over $26,000 was raised. Proceeds from the 2009 event will be used to purchase eight portable protein level machines for home health, a cell washer for our lab, a barium swallow chair for radiology, two portable lipid profile machines for wellness, three vital statistics machines for the floor, operating room and emergency department, and two glucose recorders and supplies for our diabetes program. This adds up to a goal of $55,400.00! Tickets are $25 per person and can be purchased from Foundation Board members or by contacting the Foundation office at (864) 366-3364.

CNET Editors' review
Take your favorite pictures and convert them into original icons easily with this icon editor. Image Icon Converter helps you edit digital images into icons, and also does the reverse, transferring icons into digital images. A step-by-step wizard walks you through the process. You can create icons as small as 16x16 pixels or as large as 128x128 pixels, with color depth ranging from 16 bit to 32 bit. The program supports a wide range of file formats, including BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TGA, TIFF, and PCX, and also can use screenshot images. An image editor contains most of the basic functions, such as rotate, crop and flip, as well as basic image effects such as color balance, brightness, contrast, sharpen, and soften. Some drawbacks include the program's inability to support batch conversions. While the interface is functional, it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing. Overall, this basic program is a solid bet for beginner icon designers.Publisher's Description
From JosesSoft:
Image Icon Converter converts BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TGA, TIFF, and PCX formats into Windows icons. You can add files and folders from Windows Explorer or other file shells using drag and drop. You also can change color resolution and size to create customized icons. It's possible to convert 256-color icons into True Color icons and XP icons. Image Icon Converter also can convert Windows icons into BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TGA, TIFF, and PCX formats.

"Lameicon junkware"
Version: Image Icon Converter 1.3
NONE none none
I waisted 20 minutes trying to figure it out and got nothing done. It installs easily but doesn't take everything with it when you uninstall it. Call it free junkware
"Just Tolerable"
Version: Image Icon Converter 1.3
Not as expected, not easy in its use
I still study it so easy to use and developed.
Thanks anyway
"A decent program, but...."
Version: Image Icon Converter 1.3
Although the program has some nifty features and can convert a variety of file formats, I prefer freeware Imagicon Version 2.4. Although the source images in Imagicon are limited to BMP, JPG and PNG, all you have to do is drag and drop the source file and, presto!, you've got an icon.
However, users who need more flexibily will find Icon Image Convert a more refined product. For $20, it's affordfable.
The interface is sloppy and poorly designed (I designed user interfaces and software for a living) and this one needs to cleaned up and functions need to be grouped and labeled more neatly. It's simply not intuitive.
Version: Image Icon Converter 1.3
"Dubious Consumption..."
Version: Image Icon Converter 1.3
I am not sure WHAT everyone is doing or talking about when this program is NOT that great. It lacks Batch Conversion, Icon Quality is poor, does NOT handle Alpha Transparency correctly, etc, etc... There are other programs just as small that do ALOT more and ALOT better so they really need to fix this one up. It has NO MAJOR FLAWS but it offers so little with a non-intuitive user interface so I am NOT sure why so many people are downloading it...
"Solid, but no alpha transparency!"
Version: Image Icon Converter 1.3
Regular transparencies, wide array of readable formats/conversion sizes/setings.
Odd interface, virtually no help
"One Word "Exelantay""
Version: Image Icon Converter 1.3
Great Program I'm Impressed At The Clarity Of The Images After They Are Converted
"One of Best"
Version: Image Icon Converter 1.3
is best because is free even trial end. Is still free but, some
Features wont work anymore, unless you brought. I still using today. change picture to icon, can change size; but had no color editer, so use photoshop for color edit. Is good for those
who want make icon without buying. -

The Horizon Superconductor flywheel design provides continuous velocity, so as your feet move the pedals, the momentum carries you through the complete motion. It also applies a magnetic brake to the flywheel for resistance for more consistent resistance during a workout. The Instep stacked flywheel design--with the flywheel above the pedals versus in line with them--gives you a lower step-on height. You get a stride length that's longer, more natural, and more versatile across users, workouts and fitness levels. And, as an added benefit, the unit is smaller and shorter, so it fits in almost any room, including low-ceiling basements.
Horizon's Ergoflow elliptical geometry is around your body, not the machine's components. The distance between the pedals have been narrowed to create a more natural walking motion, and the pivoting footpad imitates how your foot's position changes as you move forward. And a more natural, ergonomic movement means less stress on your knees, hips, and lower back, so you enjoy longer workouts and faster results.

About Elliptical Trainers
Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips.
Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.

text: Works great, paired with gloves and boots works perfect. Seals up everywhere you need it to. Only downside is the back of the top slides up when riding a sport bike. probably not prevelant on any other style. Moved to Fl so had to have it, great product just as you would expect from Alpinestars.
