Find speakers you like and then find an amplifier that can drive them.
What is the most important pearl of audiophile wisdom you can bestow on someone?
Read. Find plateaus in pricing. Sometimes even doubling the money you are willing to spend will not get you more value. Define your need and set strong goals of what you expect. Buying is an addiction, get past it soon to enjoy the music you love. After all, it's all about the music.
Often so-called audiophiles are searching for a particular sound that they like to hear. Maybe a particular sound that is not necessarily faithful to the original; hence not really "high fidelity" as the term was originally meant to be. If "sizzle-boom" is what you want then don't call yourself an audiophile - try "sound freak" instead. There are certain characteristics of reproduced live sound that are as real time as the original as it can get: Smoothness, Clarity, Accuracy, Naturalness. SCAN Sound. If you can achieve all four of these in your system of choice, you have it!
Don't give clinical approach to music, emotion is more important and each require its own ''color'' to activate it.

"Coming from an iTouch 4th gen, this phone is AMAZING!"
5.0 starson by rahulsurtiPros: Smooth interface
Lots of customization abilities
Battery lifeCons: TouchWiz interface has crashed only once, but after that it worked flawlessly
Summary: Besides some apps that Apple has, this phone can do everything my iTouch can do and more
After using this phone for a bit longer I have encountered 2 serious problems. One is that even though this has a 2100 mAH battery, the battery life is horrible. Its only been half a day and my phones already down to 10%. Additionally, the phone gets hot and I mean REALLY HOT. Using the Minimalistic Text app, I have found out that the GS3 gets up to 100.8 degrees F only with light use and with the multitasking empty. Other than these problems, I do love this phone and all of its features. I believe that these problems do not exist in all GS3's because there has been a lot of people that have not encountered these problems. I am going this weekend to get it replaced with another GS3, and I hope that it doesn't have these same problems.

How can I monitor the availability of a data driven page?
I would like to monitor the availability of a data driven page that has been known not to load due to being unable to create the temporary files required by the image resize function. It's happened a handful of times since launch in April/May and my host restarts the server to solve the problem - not sure that's the best way but that appears to be what they do. I'm uncertain as to whether uptime monitoring would inform me of failure to load the page in question as I'm not sure what exactly these types of services are checking. The availability of the site as a whole doesn't seem to be a problem, but the site's main purpose is to promote the business and advertise properties on its properties page and the availability of this page is, therefore, absolutely crucial to the likely longterm success of the site.
I know this is probably a very basic question, but if someone can point me in the right direction, I would be most grateful.

One of our duties here at Austin Public Library is to cull old books. We call it "weeding". We do it continuously, just as new books are published continuously, because if we didn't, we wouldn't be able to fit the new books on the shelves. If we didn't weed, we'd still have astronomy books, for example, that say the sun goes around the earth, that dragons lurk in the skies at the edges of the oceans, that Pluto is a PLANET!
Annually (sort of) we hold a contest to find some of the oldest, oddest, most out of date, least politically correct books in our collection from dark corners of the library that we haven't looked into in a while, and in the photo to the left, you see the winners of the 2013 contest. First place goes to The Handheld Calculator. Don't be too quick to judge: the gadget might have changed, but scientific calculation hasn't. That book still goes for a pretty penny on Amazon.
Second prize goes to The Complete Book of Chisanbop: Original Finger Calculation Method, also published in 1980 (was there something about math in1980?), also still applicable—we've still got ten fingers, haven't we? This is an updated version of a book first published in 1940.
Honorable mention is awarded to Grow Your Own, a book about gardening food published in 1970. Jeanie Darlington, the author, has posted an update on her life since she posed for the cover of her book in that granny dress (they used to be hip--really) on the Amazon site. She lives in New Mexico these days.
So congratulations winners! Thanks to all entrants! Weed on!

In Blagojevich's first trial, the jury deliberated for 14 days after the 11-week trial but was unable to reach a consensus on all but one of the charges. According to reports, there was a lone holdout [Chicago Tribune report] on the convictions regarding the sale of Obama's Senate seat. The female juror allegedly stated that due to the lack of a "smoking gun" she was unable to convict Blagojevich of the crimes. Last September, lawyers for Blagojevich asked the judge to throw out the sole conviction [JURIST report], stating that the government failed to meet its required burden of proof and that cross-examinations by the defense were plagued by "obstructionist" objections [Chicago Tribune report], which the court continuously sustained. In January 2009, the Illinois State Senate voted unanimously [JURIST report] to convict Blagojevich of abuse of power and remove him from office. Blagojevich and his former chief of staff John Harris were initially arrested [JURIST report] in December 2008.
The defendant was found delinquent by the US District Court for the District of Montana in 2005 after pleading "true" to engaging in sex acts with a minor under 12, and was later required to register as a sex offender under SORNA. On appeal, the defendant challenged this registration on ex post facto grounds in the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit ruled [opinion text] in favor of the defendant, finding an ex post facto violation.
Hu was awarded the Sakharov Prize [press release] in October 2008 by the European Parliament [official website], for his fight for democracy. Hu has become prominently known as an advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness and a defender of religious freedom and human rights in China. China has been criticized for an increase in political arrests [press release; JURIST report] leading up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, including the trial of Hu and the conviction [JURIST reports] of Yang Chunlin [AI profile] for the same "inciting subversion of state power" crime [PRC Criminal Law article 105, PDF] with which activist Liu Xiaobo was charged [JURIST report] in June 2009.
Recall that respondent's claim of jurisdiction centers on three facts: The distributor agreed to sell J. McIntyre's machines in the United States; J. McIntyre officials attended trade shows in several States but not in New Jersey; and up to four machines ended up in New Jersey. The British manufacturer had no office in New Jersey; it neither paid taxes nor owned property there; and it neither advertised in, nor sent any employees to, the State. Indeed, after discovery the trial court found that the defendant does not have a single contact with New Jersey short of the machine in question ending up in this state. These facts may reveal an intent to serve the U.S. market, but they do not show that J. McIntyre purposefully availed itself of the New Jersey market.
The Supreme Court also decided another personal jurisdiction issueMonday . The court ruled [opinion, PDF] unanimously in Goodyear v. Brown [Cornell LII backgrounder; JURIST report] that foreign subsidiaries of the American corporation Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company [corporate website] are subject to neither specific nor general personal jurisdiction in North Carolina. In that case, two North Carolina teenagers were killed in a bus accident in France when a tire manufactured in Turkey malfunctioned. Opposite McIntyre, in that case Justice Ginsburgh wrote the majority opinion holding that North Carolina lacked specific personal jurisdiction over the foreign subsidiaries, because the cause of action did not arise out of or relate to any contacts between the suit and the forum state. Further, the court held there was no general personal jurisdiction because there was no "continuous and systematic" affiliation with North Carolina.
International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo [official profile] officially requested permission [JURIST report] from ICC judges last week to begin an investigation into the Ivory Coast after determining that war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed in the post-election violence. The Ivory Coast announced earlier this month it would establish its own commission [JURIST report] to investigate alleged crimes committed as a result of the disputed presidential elections. This investigation may take up to two years [Reuters report]. Also, an official for the UN's International Commission of Inquiry called for an investigation [JURIST report] into current Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara [BBC profile] and his forces' continuing attacks against supporters of Gbagbo earlier this month. In April, Human Rights Watch [advocacy website] urged Ouattara to conduct an investigation [JURIST report] into alleged atrocities carried out by his forces in its attempts to secure the presidency. According to the report, the pro-Ouattara forces, known as the Republican Forces of the Ivory Coast, killed more than 100 civilians, raped at least 20 supporters of Gbagbo and burned at least 10 villages in March. Also in April, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) [official website] reported the deaths of at least 800 civilians [JURIST report] in the Ivory Coast town of Duekoue as a result of intercommunal violence.
The First Amendment's core purpose is to foster a healthy, vibrant political system full of robust discussion and debate. Nothing in Arizona's anti-corruption statute, the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Act, violates this constitutional protection. To the contrary, the Act promotes the values underlying both the First Amendment and our entire Constitution by enhancing the "opportunity for free political discussion to the end that government may be responsive to the will of the people."
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments [JURIST report] in the case in March. Counsel for the respondent argued that "public funding of elections results in more speech and more electoral competition" and furthers a governmental interest of combating "real and apparent corruption in politics." Further, that public funding combats corruption by freeing candidates from the "need to accept potentially corrupting private contributions," and allows for more candidates to run, "more political speech, and more electoral competition." Arizona's matching funds system both promoted speech and encouraged candidates to run against incumbents. The government argued, as amicus curiae, supporting the respondents that the matching funds provision "provides a formula for giving the publicly funded candidate as much money as the privately funded candidate." The government agreed that public financing facilitated speech and allowed candidates to run on the same footing.
A connection so limited between the forum and the foreign corporation, we hold, is an inadequate basis for the exercise of general jurisdiction. Such a connection does not establish the "continuous and systematic" affiliation necessary to empower North Carolina courts to entertain claims unrelated to the foreign corporation's contacts with the State.
The respondents had argued in their merits brief [text, PDF] that refusing to find jurisdiction over foreign subsidiaries of US corporations would encourage outsourcing to avoid litigation in the US. The petitioners argued [merits brief, PDF] that a finding of personal jurisdiction would invite forum shopping and deter interstate and foreign commerce. The Supreme Court did not address either of these arguments in its opinion.
California's legislation straddles the fence between (1) addressing a serious social problem and (2) helping concerned parents control their children. Both ends are legitimate, but when they affect First Amendment rights they must be pursued by means that are neither seriously underinclusive nor seriously overinclusive. As a means of protecting children from portrayals of violence, the legislation is seriously underinclusive, not only because it excludes portrayals other than video games, but also because it permits a parental or avuncular veto. And as a means of assisting concerned parents it is seriously overinclusive because it abridges the First Amendment rights of young people whose parents (and aunts and uncles) think violent video games are a harm-less pastime. And the overbreadth in achieving one goal is not cured by the underbreadth in achieving the other. Legislation such as this, which is neither fish nor fowl, cannot survive strict scrutiny.
The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case last year after the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit struck down the ban [JURIST reports] as unconstitutional. The bill, originally signed into law by then-California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in October 2005, prohibited the sale or rental of violent video games to minors under the age of 17, and required retailers to label violent games. In December 2005, US District Court Judge Ronald Whyte issued a temporary injunction [JURIST report] against the enforcement of the law after the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) and the Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) [trade websites] filed a lawsuit [JURIST report]. Judges have struck down similar laws as unconstitutional in Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota and Louisiana [JURIST reports].
In United States v. Jones [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the court will decide whether the warrantless use of a global positioning systems (GPS) tracking device on respondent's vehicle to monitor its movements on public streets violated the Fourth Amendment [text] and whether the government violated respondent's Fourth Amendment rights by installing the GPS tracking device on his vehicle without a valid warrant and without his consent. The federal government sought Supreme Court review [JURIST report] after the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] last year that prolonged use of GPS to monitor suspects' vehicles violates the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
In National Meat Association v. Harris [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the court will consider whether a California law requiring slaughterhouses to "immediately euthanize" any nonambulatory animal on its premises is preempted by the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) [text]. The provisions of the California law were considered and expressly rejected by federal regulators because they eliminate certain federally required ante-mortem inspection of possibly diseased animals. The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled [opinion, PDF] that the California law was not preempted. The questions before the court are (1) Did the Ninth Circuit err in holding that a "presumption against preemption" requires a "narrow interpretation" of the FMIA's express preemption provision, in conflict with the court's decision in Jones v. Rath Packing Co. [opinion text] that the provision must be given "a broad meaning"?; (2) Where federal food safety and humane handling regulations specify that animals (here, swine) which are or become nonambulatory on federally-inspected premises are to be separated and held for observation and further disease inspection, did the Ninth Circuit err in holding that a state criminal law which requires that such animals not be held for observation and disease inspection, but instead be immediately euthanized, was not preempted by the FMIA?; and (3) Did the Ninth Circuit err in holding more generally that a state criminal law which states that no slaughterhouse may buy, sell, receive, process, butcher, or hold a nonambulatory animal is not a preempted attempt to regulate the "premises, facilities, [or] operations" of federally-regulated slaughterhouses.
In Messerschmidt v. Millender [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the court will consider whether police officers are entitled to qualified immunity [Cornell LII backgrounder] where they execute search warrants later determined invalid. The Ninth Circuit ruled [opinion, PDF] that the officers in this case were not entitled to qualified immunity. The Supreme Court has held in United States v. Leon and Malley v. Briggs [opinions text] that officers are entitled to qualified immunity, and evidence obtained should not be suppressed, so long as the warrant is not "so lacking in indicia of probable cause as to render official belief in its existence entirely unreasonable." The questions before the court are (1) Under these standards, are officers entitled to qualified immunity where they obtained a facially valid warrant to search for firearms, firearm-related materials, and gang-related items in the residence of a gang member and felon who had threatened to kill his girlfriend and fired a sawed-off shotgun at her, and a district attorney approved the application, no factually on-point case law prohibited the search, and the alleged overbreadth in the warrant did not expand the scope of the search; and (2) Should the Malley/Leon standards be reconsidered or clarified in light of lower courts' inability to apply them in accordance with their purpose of deterring police misconduct, resulting in imposition of liability on officers for good faith conduct and improper exclusion of evidence in criminal cases?
In Martel v. Clair [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the court will determine whether a condemned state prisoner in federal habeas corpus proceedings is entitled to replace his court-appointed counsel with another court-appointed lawyer just because he expresses dissatisfaction and alleges that his counsel was failing to pursue potentially important evidence. The district court denied respondent Kenneth Clair's petition for habeas corpus and refused to allow him to replace his lawyer, but the Ninth Circuit reversed [opinion, PDF], ruling that the district court abused its discretion.
In Knox v. Service Employees International Union, Local 1000 [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the court will decide whether a state, consistent with the First and Fourteenth Amendments [text], may condition employment on the payment of a special union assessment intended solely for political and ideological expenditures without first providing notice that includes information about that assessment and provides an opportunity to object to its exaction. The Ninth Circuit held that no second notice was required under the Supreme Court's opinion in Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson [opinion text]. The court will also determine whether a state, consistent with the First and Fourteenth Amendments, may condition continued public employment on the payment of union agency fees for purposes of financing political expenditures for ballot measures.
In Kappos v. Hyatt [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the court will rule on an area of patent law. When the US Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) [official website] denies an application for a patent, the applicant may seek judicial review of the agency's final action through either of two avenues. The applicant may obtain direct review of the agency's determination in the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit under 35 USC § 141 [text]. Alternatively, the applicant may commence a civil action against the Director of the PTO in federal district court under 35 USC § 145 [text] The court will decide whether a plaintiff in a § 145 action may introduce new evidence that could have been presented to the agency in the first instance. The court will also consider whether, when new evidence is introduced under § 145, the district court may decide de novo the factual questions to which the evidence pertains, without giving deference to the prior decision of the PTO. The Federal Circuit held [opinion, PDF] that "§ 145 imposes no limitation on an applicant's right to introduce new evidence before the district court."
In Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd. v. Novo Nordisk A/S [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the court will rule on drug patents. When the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [official website] approves a drug for multiple uses, the Hatch-Waxman Act allows generic drug makers to avoid contested patent litigation by marketing generic versions of the drug solely for non-patented uses. The FDA lacks the authority and expertise needed to verify the patent information submitted by name-brand drug companies, however, so it defers to their descriptions of the scope of their patents. Such companies can therefore block the approval of generic drugs by submitting overbroad patent descriptions to the FDA, effectively extending their patents to cover non-infringing uses. To combat this problem, the Act allows [21 USC § 355(j)(5)(C)(ii)(I) text] a "counterclaim seeking an order requiring the [patent] holder to correct or delete the patent information submitted by the holder on the ground that the patent does not claim an approved method of using the drug." The Federal Circuit held [opinion, PDF] that the counterclaim provision effectively authorizes only "delet[ing]" improperly listed patents, but not "correct[ing]" information that misrepresents the scope of the approved uses claimed by a patent. Petitioners claim that ruling expressly invalidates longstanding FDA regulations defining "patent information," which the FDA deems "essential" to administering the Act, without seeking the agency's views. The question before the court is whether the counterclaim provision applies when (1) there is "an approved method of using the drug" that "the patent does not claim," and (2) the brand submits "patent information" to the FDA that misstates the patent's scope, requiring "correct[ion]."
In Mims v. Arrow Financial Services, LLC [docket; cert. petition, PDF], the court will consider whether Congress divested the federal district courts of their federal question jurisdiction [28 USC § 1331 text] over private actions brought under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act [FCC summary, PDF]. The US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit held [opinion, PDF] that federal courts lack jurisdiction over private actions under the Act.
In Coleman v. Maryland Court of Appeals [docket, cert. petition, PDF], the court will determine whether Congress constitutionally abrogated states' Eleventh Amendment [text] immunity when it passed the self-care leave provision of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) [DOL backgrounder]. Petitioner Daniel Coleman was terminated from his job at the Maryland Court of Appeals and filed suit under Title VII and FMLA. The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed [opinion, PDF] a lower court ruling that dismissed petitioner's FMLA clams as barred by Eleventh Amendment immunity.
The court also agreed to hear Credit Suisse Securities LLC v. Simmonds [docket], case involving the statute of limitations for securities litigation.
Last January, the civilian trial of 800 soldiers charged [JURIST report] with crimes stemming from their roles in the 2009 mutiny began in the capital city of Dhaka. The trial involves some of the most serious charges with those found guilty facing the death penalty. The trial is expected to last over a year and to include the testimonies of more than 1,000 individuals. In August 2010, a special Bangladeshi military court sentenced [JURIST report] 14 members of the BDR for their roles in the mutiny. The tribunal, led by BDR head Maj. Gen. Mainul Islam, fined each of the men Tk 100 and sentenced [BDNews24 report] them to prison terms ranging from four months to six years, one year short of the maximum possible sentence for rebellion under Bangladeshi law. About 3,500 other soldiers will face lesser charges in military courts.
Tunisia has been cracking down on the family of Ben Ali since the ousted president fled the country in January amidst protests ending his 23-year autocratic rule in which his family amassed substantial wealth that many Tunisians say was at their expense. Last week, a Tunisian court sentenced [JURIST report] in absentia Sofiane Ben Ali, another nephew of Ben Ali, to 15 years in prison for issuing bad checks totaling more than USD $430,000. That same week, Ben Ali and his wife were convicted in absentia and sentenced to 35 years in prison on charges of theft and unlawful possession of money and jewelry just hours after the trial began that morning [JURIST reports]. The two were also charged with illegal possession of drugs and weapons, but the verdict for those charges would not be announced until June 30. Ben Ali said he was "duped" into leaving [AFP report] the capital Tunis, according to a statement released through his lawyer. He said that he was trying to get his family out of the country after assassination threats and that the plane left him in Saudi Arabia despite orders to wait for him. Ben Ali has denied the charges against him [JURIST report], most of which stem from allegations he authorized the use of force against protesters during the protests, resulting in more than 200 deaths.
The Khmer Rouge have been blamed for the deaths of some 1.7 million people [PPU backgrounder] from starvation, disease, overwork and execution between 1975 and 1979. The UN-backed ECCC was established in 2001 to investigate and try those responsible for the Cambodian genocide that resulted in the deaths of approximately one-third of the Cambodian population. Khieu Samphan has defended [JURIST report] the late Khmer Rouge dictator Pol Pot in his 2007 book, denying that he was responsible for genocide. Nuon Chea was arrested and charged in September 2007 and said that he was never in the position to order the deaths attributed to him, but that he would cooperate with the ECCC [JURIST reports]. Ieng Thirith and Ieng Sary were also arrested and charged in September 2007. The ECCC handed down its first and only conviction [JURIST report] last year against Kaing Guek Eav [TrialWatch profile], better known as "Duch", who was in charge of the notorious S-21 prison in Phnom Penh.
There is also information which indicates that there was a campaign to cover up the alleged crimes through the following acts: (i) targeting journalists to prevent them from reporting events, and punishing them for having done so; (ii) repeatedly blocking satellite transmission of channels such as Al-Jazeera and Al-Hurra and disrupting internet and telecommunications services; (iii) confiscating laptops, cameras, mobile phones SD and SIM cards from persons stopped at checkpoints; (iv) removing dead bodies by the Security Forces including from the hospitals" and throwing of at least one body into a rubbish truck in Tripoli; (v) searching for wounded protesters in the Tripoli hospital; and (vi) leveling to the ground a Mosque which bore bullet holes as a result of an attack by the Security Forces in Al- Zawiyah; and (vii) removing evidence of mass graves in Al-Zawiyah."
Last week, ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo [official website] presented the materials to Pre-Trial Chamber. He said his office had gathered "direct evidence" [JURIST report] that shows Gaddafi personally ordered attacks on civilian protestors and that his forces used live ammunition on crowds, attacked civilians in their homes, used heavy weapons against people in funeral processions and placed snipers to shoot those leaving mosques after prayer services. Moreno-Ocampo announced [JURIST report] last month that his office was pursuing arrest warrants against Gaddafi and the two others in his "inner circle." He said Saif al-Islam was acting as Gaddafi's "de facto Prime Minister" and called al-Sanussi Gaddafi's "right-hand man" and "executioner." At that time, Moreno-Ocampo said his office was almost prepared for trial, having collected quality testimony from some who have fled Libya. There have been numerous allegations of war crimes and human rights violations over the Libyan revolt which has persisted since February. Earlier this month, the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) [official website] decided to extend a mandate to an investigative panel instructing it to continue its investigation of human rights abuses in Libya, after it published a 92-page report [JURIST reports]. The report claims Libyan authorities have committed crimes against humanity such as acts constituting murder, imprisonment and other severe deprivations of physical liberties, torture, forced disappearances and rape "as part of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population with knowledge of the attack."

NEW YORK NURSE: November 2010
Denise A. Famolaro, of Norwich, NY, has been appointed the 2010 Research Fellow by the Central New York Nurses Center for Nursing Research Planning Committee of the Foundation of New York State Nurses. Famolaro is currently employed at Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown, NY.
At Bassett, Famolaro works as the Cardiac Care Data Coordinator and has recently been appointed to be the site manager for a multi-site study of heart failure. She is also a member of Sigma Theta Tau, the American Nurses Association, NYSNA, and the Council for the Advancement of Research and Evidence-based Nursing Practice at Bassett.
Famolaro comes to nursing from a career in accounting and business management. She attended SUNY Delhi and received her bachelor's of science in nursing from Hartwick College. She is currently enrolled in an MSN program at SUNY-IT. Famolaro hopes to learn more about the research process and to develop and implement a research project focused on nurse fatigue - a project she began at Hartwick College.
As a Research Fellow, Famolaro will be sponsored by NYSNA. This program, two to three years in length, is intended to increase the Fellow's understanding of professional organizations, and prepare them for involvement in the research activities of these associations. The Fellow will choose a mentor from the Planning Committee who will guide them in their research project. In addition, they participate in meetings of the Planning Committee.
The search for the 2011 Research Fellow, also supported by NYSNA, will begin soon. Watch the NYSNA and Foundation websites for further information, or contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

One major department store is still sticking to its Christmas hold-off policy of not decorating until, well, closer to Christmas.
It seems as though most stores roll out the artificial Christmas trees and Hanukkah menorahs before Halloween candy is even discounted at 50 percent off, but officials at Nordstrom are saying "not so fast."
A sign greets shoppers at the Nordstrom at West Farms Mall that reads, "We won't be decking our halls until Nov. 23. Why? Well, we just like the idea of celebrating one holiday at a time."

I spent a week in this hotel, while visiting Nashville! I had a FABULOUS stay! The room were very clean! I think people need to keep in mind this is a standard style hotel, not the Ritz Carlton. No dust, stains, smells, bugs, or anything of the sort. The staff at the front desk was very helpful and friendly! They gave us great advice on places to eat, as well as directions to everything! The hotel itself is in a great location. Great food places right across the street and a 8-10 mintue walk to the heart of downtown. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great priced, clean hotel in a good area to tourist attractions!
We have stayed at Comfort Inn Demonbreun three years in a row and will most definitely return! The hotel is very affordable and the service is great. The best thing about it is the location, within walking distance to Broadway. Miss the place already.
spacious room, clean, great location. Didn't use pool but it looked nice and clean. Great buffet breakfast included. Ten minutes to walk to Union Square and the Honky Tonk bars. Three woman walking at night, felt quite safe. Ten dollars to catch taxi back to hotel also good value.
Booked this hotel primarily for price, much more reasonable than any other hotel in Downtown Nashville. The other reason was the free parking, most of the city hotels charged an additional $20 per night to park, I figured taking a cab would still cost less. I was pleasantly surprised. The room was adequate and clean, we even had a jacuzzi tub. Our car was parked right outside our room, but the best part was we never needed a cab. The walk to downtown Nashville was a breeze, maybe 9 or 10 blocks, felt very safe walking even late at night. The other bonus was the free breakfast, everything you could want: Good hot coffee, fresh waffles, bagels, cereal, juice eggs, even biscuits with sausage gravy.. would definitely stay there again if we go back to Nashville
Fast check-in, clean rooms, spacious room as well. Have a great continental breakfast and are very friendly and helpful. Also have washer and dryer on site which helped a lot. The best thing about this hotel is the location. It is located just a few blocks from downtown where all the clubs and restaurants are so you can just walk and not be bother with finding parking as well as paying for parking. My family and I will definetely be staying here anytime we are in Nashville.
We found this hotel to be a very clean and nice place to stay. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the main area. We found the area to be safe to walk around at night with no problems. Breakfast in the morning was good. View have lots of selection and fresh waffles. If we return to Nashville we would stay again and we would recommend to others.
Stayed here again this year on our third visit to Nashville in as many years from the UK. The friendliest staff who looked after us again first class! Room was recently refurbished (if not completely new), new carpet, decor etc and vey comfortable. Breakfast was great as usual, free wi-fi to check emails etc is always a bonus. 15 min walk to the downtown attractions but in the 90 degree heat we chose the free schuttle bus which runs every 15 mins. Cab back is around $5-6, but we walked it a few times and were completely safe. The fact that we keep coming back speaks volumes. Thank you again Comfort Inn, we'll be back!
10 mins walk from Broadway & The Ryman (or approx $5 in a cab), & across the street from other well-known Nashville bars like The Tin Roof & Dan McGuiness' Irish pub. Rooms were big, beds were VERY comfortable, bathrooms were adequate, complimentary breakfast was delish, free WIFI was cool, Air-conditioning was cooler & overall, the place was very clean. Staff were extremely helpful & basically, you can't get better for your money!
The staff were very friendly and always asked if you needed anything. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was very good. The location is between music row and downtown. You can walk to everything. The most amazing thing is you get all this at a reasonable price. We will be back
My sister and I were greeted at the front desk with such enthusiam, the staff called cabs for us helped in whatever we needed. Prompt serv one of the friendliest places I have stayed. The room was very clean as was the pool. The breakfast room was super, and the lady that worked there was super helpful,there was plenty of food . We stopped half way from Pittsburgh in Kentucky and stayed at a motel there it was the exact opposite of this hotel so when we arrived here we were grateful for such a friendly staff and a very comfortable bed to spend the week. Thanks for all your kindness.

Loading... Harlem's Little Blackbirdby Renee Watson
None None. Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Florence Mills was born at the turn of the twentieth century and grew up to be a prominent jazz singer. She faced challenges as she was coming into her own as a singer, such as her family and friends not being allowed in to a white-only theater when she was performing one of her first shows. After her family moved to New York and as time went on, Mills became part of Harlem Renaissance and was the first black woman offered a leading role in Ziegfeld Follies, but she turned it down and chose shows that would give other black singers and actors a chance to perform. Harlem's Little Blackbird tells her story in picture book format and is an engaging, vividly illustrated biography. It would work well as an introduction to biographies for late elementary school students, as the text is a bit complex for younger students. Unfortunately, while it includes an author's note about Mills' life and legacy, it does not include any source notes, which would be useful to educators, librarians, parents, and even students who want more information on her life. Florence Mills was a singer and dance who became internationally known and used her fame to help other people. A true hero. I cannot believe I haven't heard of her before today. I read in the Author's Note that she has never been recorded or taped and I am reallllly bummed out about that. I wish I could hear this remarkable blackbird sing. Lovely, affectionate portrait of Harlem Renaissance singer Florence Mills. This short nonfiction picture book that will introduce readers to Florence Mills, a popular Harlem Renaissance's singer whose voice and shows mesmerized audiences. Readers benefit from Christian Robinson's illustrations as well as Renee Watson's telling, which includes Florence's own words. Even though we sadly have no recordings of Florence's voice or singing, Watson gives us much to appreciate and discover. This picture book biography of black performer Florence Mills is illustrated with colorful, cut-paper spreads and covers the entirety of Mills's career. It's a nice compliment to the other picture book biography of Mills published this year (BABY FLO), which concentrates on her childhood. Use them both together for a complete picture of this little known (even though she was very famous in her time!) woman who helped to pave the way for many black performers. no reviews | add a review

If the Harlem Renaissance had a court, they were its kings and queens. But there were other, lesser known individuals whose contributions were just as impactful, such as Florence Mills. Born to parents who were former-slaves Florence knew early on that she loved to sing. And that people really responded to her sweet, bird-like voice. Her dancing and singing catapulted her all the way to the stages of 1920s Broadway where she inspired songs and even entire plays! Yet with all this success, she knew firsthand how bigotry shaped her world. And when she was offered the role of a lifetime from Ziegfeld himself, she chose to support all-black musicals instead.Fans of When Marian Sang and Ella Fitzgerald: The Tale of a Vocal Virtuosa will jump at the chance to discover another talented performer whose voice transcended and transformed the circumstances society placed on her. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:02:32 -0400) A tribute to lesser-known Harlem Renaissance performer Florence Mills includes coverage of her youth as a child of former slaves, her singing and dancing performances that inspired songs and entire plays, and the struggles with racism that prompted her advocacy of all-black theater and musicals.… (more) |

Talking Flash Cards aims to improve math, spelling, time-telling, and toddler basics with visual and audio tools. Its simple navigation and a variety of options allow this program to be a favorite of parents and kids.
We could see children really enjoying these cards, especially since they look exactly like physical flash cards, but tack on a digital element that can't be matched with traditional cards. The math cards gave us multiple-choice options, the spelling cards and time-telling function read the answers aloud for us, and the toddler learning tools felt more like a digital See-and-Say than a computer … Read more

We have made baby carriers since 1973.
Pediatrician recommended
Rainbow Babies & Children´s Hospital recommends BABYBJÖRN Baby Carriers.
BABYBJÖRN Retro Line
To celebrate our 50th anniversary we designed a collection of babysitters and baby carriers in retro textiles. A trip down memory lane!
From our archivesIn 1973 BabyBjörn launched the first baby carrier. This baby carrier was named "Close to the Heart".
Passion for the next generation - since 1961
This year marks the 50th anniversary of BABYBJÖRN, and we want to celebrate it with you! We love babies and small children as much as parents around the world love their little ones. With our products we want to simplify everyday life for you and your little child, and make it more enjoyable. This has been our goal ever since we started in 1961. "Happy baby, happy parents", is our motto.
Close to the heart – the first baby carrierA big step in the company's history came at the beginning of the 1970s. New research from Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, showed that early attachment and closeness to their parents plays a vital role for the continued development of newborns. Pediatricians all over the world quickly adopted this idea. At Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Dr. John Lind was one of the first to inform new parents how important physical contact is for creating an emotional bond between babies and their parents.
Björn Jakobson, who now had three small children of his own, was inspired by pediatricians' hopes that parents would carry their children close to their bodies. He developed a baby carrier that made it possible for parents to have this important physical contact with their babies and their hands free at the same time. The baby carrier, which was called "Hjärtenära", was tested with great success on the Jakobson family's fourth child.
Since then, tens of millions of babies have been carried close to their parents during the first important months of their lives. And over the years we have never stopped working to improve our baby carriers, always in close collaboration with medical experts and the parents of small children. This has resulted in the unique design that makes today's models so comfortable and easy to use, with clean, classic lines.
It all started with a bouncerBabysitting can have unexpected consequences for a young student. In Björn Jakobson's case, it became the impetus for his life's work, the company BabyBjörn AB. During a trip to the USA in the beginning of the 1960s, a bouncer caught Björn's eye and he brought it back for his nephew, Nils, who he often babysat. Nils immediately liked the bouncer. So much so, that he actually used it until he was a year old.
Since bouncers could not be purchased in Sweden at the time, Björn started a company with his sister-in-law Elsa (Nils's mom) to manufacture a Swedish equivalent. In Gnosjö, he found a supplier who could make the frame, while the seat was made from store-bought scraps of fabric. Production began, but sales were pitiful. Reviews were very positive, however, which resulted in several articles in Swedish dailies. Finally, demand picked up.
The bouncer became a hit in Sweden, as well as in the rest of Europe. In time, it also became a bestseller in the USA.
BABYBJÖRN in 50 countries
Did you know that......our products are sold in around 50 countries all over the world?...95% of our sales are exports to other countries?...in Japan our bouncers (Babysitters) are our most popular product?...in Finland the Potty Chair is our most popular product?...in Australia BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Synergy is our most popular baby carrier?
Medical experts and BABYBJÖRN productsFor us, children's safety and health always come first. That's how it's been from the very beginning. Very early on, we started collaborating with Professor Bengt Hagberg at Östra Hospital in Gothenburg. This collaboration lasted for over 23 years, and came to guide our work in developing new products.
A trip down memory lane:
From idea to productThe road from an idea to a finished product is a long one. Developing our plate and spoon, for instance, took four years! We design and develop all of our products in intensive collaboration with world-leading pediatricians, industrial designers and parents with small children. And we do not give up until the product truly lives up to our high requirements.

Greening Africa? Technologies, endowments and the latecomer effect
Africa is well endowed with potential for hydro and solar power, but its other endowments – shortages of capital, skills, and governance capacity – make most of the green options relatively expensive, while its abundance of hydro-carbons makes fossil fuels relatively cheap. Current power shortages make expansion of power capacity a priority. Africa's endowments, and the consequent scarcities and relative prices, are not immutable and can be changed to bring opportunity costs in Africa closer to those in the rest of the world. The international community can support by increasing Africa's supply of the scarce factors of capital, skills, and governance.Download Info

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Sunday began on Saturday. It was the day that my grandmother surveyed her chicken flock and decided which one of them would be in the pot for Sunday dinner.
She would gather up her apron into a container, pour a handful of cracked corn into it, walk into the chicken yard and call chick, chick, chick. The henhouse gang was soon at her feet pecking corn. She would maneuver to be above the chosen victim; in a flash she would have the chicken by the legs. She would secure the wings and feet, go to the chopping block and with an ax sever its head. Then she would scald, pluck, eviscerate and make it pot or skillet ready.
Sunday was a day of rest. No work except what had to be done. Cows were milked, pigs were fed, dog and cat fed. Breakfast was prepared and eaten. The rest was mostly for males. The women had to prepare the biggest meal of the week: Sunday dinner. Much was done early toward preparing that meal because church attendance was a must.
My grandfather sang in the choir. He had a hymnal with shaped notes. The shape of the note determined its musical value. He also had a tuning fork. He would dress early while the women rushed about doing necessary chores and would sit on the porch in a split bottom, strike his tuning fork on the banister and sing quietly to himself. He was practicing for his choir responsibilities.
My grandparents had a closet about the size of a telephone booth. It contained their Sunday best, which wasn't worn except on Sundays and at funerals. Someone always had to tie my grandfather's tie. Aunt Sadie did it for years. I also helped to tie it when I learned how. Grandmother dressed in black with some lace here and there and flat-heeled shoes. Spike heels would not do on country roads. Before leaving for church, my grandmother, whose only income was from the sale of eggs, would call me into her bedroom and take from a purse a dime for me to contribute to the collection at church.
It was time now to depart for church. It was a half mile walk, but all walked. In the early years the walk was a country road, dust in summer and mud in winter. Later a hard surface road was built not far from the house and gave easier access to the church. The church was the Mount Pisgah Methodist. It was a steepled box with wooden benches, a wood-fired stove on either side, a pulpit and a wrap-around railing with a cushioned runner for the sinners to kneel on when confessing sins or converting. My aunt played the organ and grandfather sat with the choir. Grandmother had her friends. I got with my buddies. Sunday was about the only day my buddies and I got to be together in summer months with the exception of a fishing expedition in the Greenbrier on some holidays.
Before preaching, there was Sunday school. The congregation was divided into four groups according to age. Granddad and grandmother sat in one corner of the church with the oldsters. Aunt Sadie taught a class of youth, and I sat with Punk, my buddy, with the teen group, which was taught by Uncle John Carden, who was my mother's uncle and was married to my Grandfather's sister. We always received literature that had Jesus' picture on it and was inscribed with Scripture. The Scripture was the teaching theme for the day.

Is the below transcription correct?
Context: "Plus ça change..."
More: Plus ça change (plus c'est la même chose). - definition in British English Dictionary & Thesaurus - Cambridge Dictionary Online
Really It's a fricative, not an affricate. Everyone I've ever heard say it - French and English - say /sa/. Francophones use a different vowel (and English speakers rarely manage the [y] of plus), but the fricative part is a simple /s/ (which again is probably different as between English and French speakers, but not in a way that stops the fricative being a fricative)....
I use /s/.
/tʃa:/ is a drink.
And a bit of a dance.
I'm sorry, I don't know anything about phonetics and I misunderstood the symbols.
There is some confusion here.
The letter 'ç' in the French word 'ça' is pronounced [s].
The IPA symbol [ç] is very close to the English /tʃ/
Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
