A pechant for bird-themed hats stole the show at this years Ladies Day.

It could have been a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's cult film The Birds. A colourful parrot; a nesting flamingo; a dove in flight and a black swan were just some of the species of feathered friends to adorn racegoers' heads at this year's Royal Ascot .

While the opening day of the royal horse meet might have marked a trend for flying saucer-esque fascinators (the Duchess of Cambridge's elegant style influence clear for all to see), Ladies Day was dominated by a bizarre homage to animals of the flying variety.

The token quota of completely bonkers hats was still very much in evidence: a milk maid sporting a bottle of milk in mid-flow and a Titanic-themed bateau atop a pink, feathered pile ensured the demure Philip Treacy fascinators didn't steal the show.
While we're not sure where the craze for head-appropriate game has come from, it's definitely a trend with wings.

Pacific Beach considering parking meters
SAN DIEGO - Free parking at Pacific Beach may be on its way out. Community groups in PB may put in meters for visitors and issue parking passes to residents.
"They just circle the blocks or go into residential areas," said the president of Discover Pacific Beach, Elvin Lai.
He wants to create a parking district at the beach by creating parking structures, transit systems, passes and meters. The system would be very similar to one you may find on a major college campus.
"You can't park in PB without a meter or a pass," said Lai.
Some think the idea will make life hard on residents.
"Like, hey, I don't need to get a permit to park in front of my own house," said resident Paul Falcone. "And then what happens when people visit me? Do they need a permit too?"
Questions like that do not have any definite answers yet. The plan is still being drafted.
For now, Lai says the conversation is open to change.
"It's whatever the community wants," he said. "We're having an open discussion with the entire community … business and residential, to see what they want."

Starbucks' Scheduling Changes are a Start, But We Need Public Policies
Starbucks has announced that it will enforce its existing scheduling polices and eliminate some unfair practices following a recent New York Times article about the harrowing experiences of an employee grappling with an erratic, unpredictable schedule.
The Times article highlights the role of scheduling software, such as the programs made by Kronos, that enable managers to modify workers' schedules in almost immediate response to slight changes in consumer demand, weather, shipment deliveries, and more. Charles DeWitt, vice president for business development at Kronos, said his product is "like magic." But these computer programs are anything but magical for the millions of workers whose lives are upended by constantly shifting schedules.
Starbucks employee Jannette Navarro, a 22-year-old single mother to four-year-old Gavin, is profiled in the article; she details her severe struggles with a fluctuating schedule that she receives no more than three days before the beginning of the workweek. The article vividly describes how Navarro's schedule wreaks havoc on her relationships with her aunt and boyfriend, forces her to count pennies to pay for her three-hour commute to work and child care, and dictates the ways she can manage the essentials for herself and her son, such as sleep, food, and housing.
Navarro is far from alone; new research shows that nearly half of early career hourly workers receive their schedules one week or less in advance of the upcoming workweek. Three quarters of these workers experience fluctuation in the number of hours they receive each week.
Soon after the article was published, Starbucks showed that it could rein in the "magic" of its scheduling software. Cliff Burrows, Starbucks president in charge of U.S. stores, said the company would modify its software to "allow for more human input from managers into scheduling." In addition, Burrows' email to 130,000 employees said workers would no longer be required to "clopen" (close the store and then return to open a few hours later) and would receive at least one week advance notice of their work schedules (a policy that had been in place previously but was not being followed). Additionally, workers who, like Navarro, face long commutes will be moved to more convenient locations if possible.
These changes could dramatically improve the lives of Starbucks workers, particularly those with caregiving responsibilities. As the original Times story notes, volatile schedules can make maintaining child care—especially child care subsidies—extremely challenging. Navarro had to contend with a "perpetual blizzard of paperwork" to document her changing hours. For many, the challenges of keeping subsidies and child care slots eventually prove too difficult to overcome; these workers must scramble to find alternative arrangements for their children—often with informal care providers. This lack of stability is harmful to children's development and extremely stressful for parents.
Navarro, who eventually lost her boyfriend and housing because of her volatile work schedule, was surprised by the news of Starbucks' rapid response to her story. She told the Times she hopes other chains will adopt similar practices, because "with a stable schedule and advance notice of work hours, 'you can get your life more back in order […] That way, you can make your kids proud.'"
While Starbucks' efforts to ensure its managers are following company scheduling policies are commendable, further improvements – such as advanced notice of work schedules of at least two weeks – are needed. And, to make Navarro's hope that other businesses will adopt worker- and family-friendly scheduling policies a reality, we need public policies to set a floor for job schedule predictability and stability. Recently, the Schedules that Work Act was introduced in Congress by Representatives George Miller (D-CA) and Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Tom Harkin (D-IA). This legislation would give all workers the right to request predictable, stable, and/or flexible schedules, with special provisions requiring employers to accommodate workers who are caregivers or students or who have second jobs or serious illnesses. It would also require employers in the restaurant, retail, and building cleaning industries to provide workers with at least two weeks advance notice of their schedules, as well as compensate workers when they are sent home from work early, required to work on-call, or must work a split shift.
While Congress considers this important legislation, advocates at the state and local levels are forging ahead to put an end to unfair scheduling practices. San Francisco's Family Friendly Workplace Ordinance and a provision in Vermont's Equal Pay Act give workers the right to request flexible and/or predictable work schedules. Also in San Francisco, a retail workers' bill of rights currently under consideration could help to address the epidemic of underemployment while also tackling erratic scheduling issues. Elsewhere, advocates are hard at work organizing and strategizing as they prepare to take further action on this pressing issue of job quality and workers' rights.

Local, National Initiatives Aim to Improve Working Conditions for Low-Wage Workers
By Lauren French
Tiffany Beroid was working as a customer service manager at Walmart while attending community college classes to become a nurse. When she asked for a schedule adjustment that would allow her to continue classes, not only did the retailer refuse her request, it drastically cut her hours. She had to drop out of her college nursing program because she was not able to pay her tuition. The financial strain sent her family into a tail-spin—forcing her husband to work 24-hour shifts as a security guard just to keep them afloat.
Tiffany's story is not atypical. While the retail industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the U.S. economy, retail workers are among the lowest paid. The average wage for a woman working in retail is just $10.58 an hour; even in the unlikely event that she were able to secure full-time status, that wage would leave a family of three near poverty. In recent months, growing attention has also focused on the industry's unpredictable and unstable scheduling practices, which make it nearly impossible for workers to budget, attend school, keep a second job, or plan for child care. On top of already low wages, retail workers' shifts often fluctuate from week to week and many receive their job schedules at the last minute. Workers are also often required to accept "on call" shifts, where they must keep their schedules open but have no guarantee of compensation if they do not end up getting called.
Last week, several events raised the profile of these issues. The City of San Francisco, which has consistently led the way on family-friendly workplace policies, is poised to take another big step. On Tuesday, City Supervisor Eric Mar introduced the Retail Workers Bill of Rights, which would create new scheduling protections for retail workers in San Francisco. The legislation, which was moved forward by a coalition of labor, community, and small business advocates, would require employees to offer hours to existing employees before hiring more workers. The bill would also require that employees be paid for a minimum of four hours' work when they are required to be on call or when shifts are canceled with less than a day's notice. If adopted, the new law would apply to chain stores with 11 or more locations. In the fall, Supervisor David Chiu (who last year championed the Family Friendly Workplace Ordinance) will introduce the second part of the Retail Workers Bill of Rights, which will advance additional provisions to protect retail workers.
The issue is also being addressed at the national level. On July 22, the Schedules that Work Act was introduced in Congress by Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), Representative George Miller (D-CA), and Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT). The bill would give workers the right to request—and in some cases receive—scheduling changes without fear of retaliation. It would require employers in the retail, restaurant, and building cleaning industries to provide workers with advanced notice of their schedules and to compensate them when they are sent home from work before the end of their shifts or are required to work nonconsecutive hours in one day (a "split shift").
Further underscoring the growing movement to improve working conditions for low-wage workers, Representative Donna Edwards (D-MD) hosted a congressional briefing to highlight the many challenges faced by women in the retail sector. At the briefing, Tiffany Beroid shared her experience with Walmart and her work with the Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR Walmart). Other speakers included Amy Traub of Demos and Vicki Shabo, vice president of the National Partnership for Women & Families.
While retail is not the only sector filled with low-wage and unpredictable jobs, it is one of the top sectors employing women—a trend economists expect to continue for the foreseeable future. According to Traub, there are currently 1.3 million women working in retail who are living in or near poverty; their economic security is constantly in doubt because of retail employment practices. Almost 30 percent of women in this sector who are working part-time would prefer to be working full time. Traub explained that contrary to popular belief, these workers are not high school students earning some extra pocket money. Ninety-three percent of low-wage women working in the retail sector are 20 years old and above. One in three of are supporting children, and almost 20 percent are the sole earner in the household.
Fortunately, there are policies we can adopt today to strengthen the economic security of these working women. The Schedules that Work Act would provide a comprehensive solution to scheduling challenges for workers nationwide. Until this legislation passes, local and state initiatives, like those proposed in San Francisco and passed in Vermont, are moving the needle for the millions of workers struggling to make ends meet in low-wage jobs.

Paid Leave: A No-Brainer for Businesses and a Lifesaver for Workers
Could it be that workers whose employers offer leave benefits actually end up getting sick less often because they are happier? Senator Al Franken (D-MN), tongue firmly in cheek, proposed this "radical" idea at a hearing on paid leave held by the Senate Health Economic Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee's Subcommittee on Children and Families. Franken's comments echo all the evidence: paid leave is a no-brainer that benefits both workers and employers. Unfortunately, far too many workers still lack paid leave, including paid sick days and paid family and medical leave.
The hearing, convened by Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC), drew attention to the dire circumstances facing U.S. workers who need time away from work to welcome a new child, care for a sick loved one, or recover from serious illness. Witnesses testified to the importance of paid leave for families' economic security, the value to employers of offering such programs, and the growing body of evidence that shows the effectiveness of existing paid leave programs. The critical importance of this issue was evidenced by the attendance of seven senators: Casey (D-PA), Franken (D-MN), Hagan (D-NC), Harkin (D-IA), Murphy (D-CT), Murray (D-WA), and Warren (D-MA).
Those who oppose paid leave policies often express concern about their effect on businesses. However, testimony from Kevin Trapani, CEO and president of The Redwoods Group, and Maryella Gockel, flexibility leader at Ernst & Young LLP, demonstrates that such worries are misguided. Indeed, for these employers, as well as for businesses in the states that have passed paid family leave insurance laws (California, Rhode Island, and New Jersey), there has been no evidence of what witness Vicki Shabo of the National Partnership for Women & Families called the "parade of horribles"—a litany of negative business implications predicted by critics.
Trapani, whose business offers generous leave benefits, described the importance of meeting his employees' needs so that they can best perform important work for clients and the community. Paid leave has been crucial to the well-being of many Redwoods employees, said Trapani. For example, one employee took paid leave to care for his sick father, who lives out of town. He told Trapani, "My dad may not have survived if I hadn't been here." And at Redwoods, paid leave doesn't just benefit employees grappling with grave personal matters; it pays dividends for the company's bottom line. Redwood's turnover rate for the past 10 years is only 5 percent, generating major cost savings and increased productivity from a loyal workforce.
Ernst & Young's Gockel explained how paid leave and other benefits have nearly closed the gap in retention rates between male and female employees at her company; in the mid-90s, she said, women were leaving the company at a much faster rate than men. Beyond the impact of such disparities on women's ability to advance in their careers, Gockel noted that high rates of turnover are costly. For a mid-level worker, said Gockel, it costs between 1.5 and two times the worker's annual salary to hire and train a replacement.
Jeannine Sato's experience, recounted at the hearing, brings the retention and turnover numbers to life. In a previous job, when Sato had her first child, she found that her employer was not covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) because it had multiple offices that were more than 75 miles apart, meaning the number of employees at each location could not be combined for FMLA eligibility purposes. This obscure provision meant that Sato was not eligible for 12 weeks of unpaid leave under the law—and her employer was unwilling to accommodate her needs. As the family breadwinner, she had no choice but to go back to work just six weeks after giving birth. Soon, she was looking for a new job. "Even a big raise couldn't keep me there," she said. Sure enough, Sato had found new employment less than a year later. Workers like Sato offer a lesson to employers about the consequences of not providing paid leave: while it may prevent a valued employee's temporary absence, it could cause you to lose them permanently.
While some employers haven't caught on yet, there are many who are aware of the importance of providing paid leave. Unfortunately, despite many high-road employers taking action, others are not in a position to do so because of the financial burden of extended paid leaves. However, legislation introduced in Congress last December would help such well-intentioned employers to do right by their workers. Using small contributions from employers and employees, the Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMILY) Act would create a trust fund for workers to draw on when they need to take leave. Such a social insurance program is appealing to workers and employers alike, as evidenced by support from many small businesses and a growing group of diverse business leaders from across the country.

Measuring the pay disparity between typically female occupations and other jobs: A bivariate selectivity approach
AbstractThe author of this study, using a bivariate probit selectivity model with data from the 1984 Panel Survey of Income Dynamics, finds that women in female-dominated jobs earned 6-15% less than women with the same characteristics in other occupations. These results support the crowding hypothesis, according to which women are crowded into "female jobs" because of employer discrimination, resulting in lower wages for those jobs. Previous studies, using ordinary least squares analysis, have found a higher earnings differential; but most of those studies, unlike the present one, failed to control either for individuals' decision whether or not to work or for their choice of occupation.

Product Features
This small lamp packs a punch with 50-watts of power, the tungsten equivalent to over 200-watts of power.
With today's technology, most cameras can capture amazing video as well as photo. These constant lights are the perfect solution for anyone doing both photo and video as they are powerful enough to freeze action and pure enough to capture amazing quality with daylight color.
Here at Westcott, we strive to offer the best. After scouring the market for the perfect lamp, we decided the only option was to create our own. This lamp is custom-produced to true daylight color temperature. Don't settle for imitations that can shift color up to 400 degrees.
Unlike photofloods that only last up to 60 hours, this lamp is rated for over 8,000 hours of consistent performance and color.
Many fluorescents are frowned upon due to their lack of output or the distance the light can travel. This new custom lamp is full spectrum providing a greater throw of light for a longer distance.
No need to worry about your subject being uncomfortable by the heat from the light, this lamp stays cool while generating very light heat.
When using constant light such as these fluorescents, the eyes of your subject quickly adjust to light causing your pupil to be smaller and the color of the eye to be more visible. This results in your subject's eyes being seen by the camera for the true beauty they hold.
Ever ask a photographer to name the best light? Nine times out of ten the response would be window light. These lamps give you the closest thing to natural window light available.

Exploring a Filipino Fish Market
Editor's note: This is fifth and final part in a series of dispatches from the Philippines.
After meeting with Marybeth in Lanuza, our crew headed back to Butuan City, where we split up – Paul to Manila on his way back to the UK, and Fel, Lito and myself to Cebu. Fel, a pride program manager for Rare, was nice enough to stick around in Cebu with me for a day and take me to the wet and dried fish markets in the old part of the city, where we could see the flip side of overfishing in the Philippines.
Cebu, the oldest city in the country, is the site where Ferdinand Magellan landed in 1521. He converted a few hundred native people to Catholicism before being killed in a battle a few weeks later, but his legacy endures: the Philippines is quite possibly the most Catholic place I've ever been, and I've been to Rome. Every office building includes images of Christ and the Virgin Mary, and religion is woven into even the fashions of the young Filipinos, like the rhinestone cross earrings I saw on a young woman on our jeepney ride to the market.
The central market in Cebu encompasses several blocks of ramshackle stalls containing everything from bursting funeral flower arrangements to cages full of fighting roosters. Here's where you can buy one of the Philippines' famous street food delicacies: balut, or a fertilized duck egg hardboiled and eaten at three weeks' gestation, feathers and all. (I didn't have one. I earned my stripes the previous day by tasting several varietals of durian, a fruit so foul-smelling it's often banned from taxis and public buildings. "Smells like hell and tastes like heaven" is what they say, and while the smell was pretty revolting, the fruit itself wasn't half-bad. Our van smelled like roadkill for the next two hours, though, so the value of this experience was questionable.)

What the science says: MSM is derived from sulfur and may prevent joint and cartilage degeneration, say University of California, San Diego, scientists. People with osteoarthritis of the knee who took MSM had 25% less pain and 30% better physical function at the end of a 3-month trial at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Sciences. Indian researchers also found that MSM worked better when combined with glucosamine.
How to try it: Start with 1.5 to 3 g once daily and increase to 3 g twice daily for more severe pain, suggests Leslie Axelrod, ND, a professor of clinical sciences at Southwest. Patients in the Indian trial improved on dosages as low as 500 mg three times daily. Vendors of OptiMSM, the brand tested in Axelrod's trial, can be found at optimsm.com.

TABOR CITY, NC (WECT) – Two men were injured Wednesday night in a shooting that Tabor City's police chief believes was in response to a February murder.
Police Chief Donald Dowless said shots were fired from two vehicles on Reece St. between 9 and 10 p.m.
Jeffrey Antwan Billings, 32, was struck in the hip and hand. Davon Jaquest Johnson, 17, was shot in the side, Dowless said.
The two men were taken to McLeod hospital in Loris then transferred to Grand Strand Medical Center in Myrtle Beach. They were released Thursday.
Dowless said police have identified several suspects, including one who may be charged Thursday.
The chief believes the shooting stemmed from the Feb. 22 murder of Dion Durhan Gore, who was shot at close range while sitting in a parked car near Queen Street and West Sixth Street in Tabor City.

The Basel Convention entered into force on 5 May 1992. The Convention controls the transboundary movement and trade in hazardous waste in response to growing concerns of illegal dumping of hazardous waste in developing countries. The Convention provides categories of waste that are considered hazardous due to reasons of toxicity, flammability and others
The Rotterdam Convention controls the trade of hazardous and harmful chemicals through a list of hazardous and harmful chemicals and through a prior informed consent procedure where States are made aware of potential imports and exports to and from their countries and can decide whether to allow the import or export. The Rotterdam Convention entered into force on 24 February 2004.
Regional workshops and technical assistance are provided to assist countries in the region that are parties to the two Conventions.
There are three Basel Regional Centers in the Asia Pacific Region which undertake activities for the Basel Convention. They are located in China, Indonesia and Iran. In addition, the Basel Convention Secretariat has developed a project "The Basel Convention Partnership on the Environmentally Sound Management of Electrical and Electronic Wastes for Asia Pacific Region" for which it is seeking funding to implement.
The Rotterdam Convention organizes workshops to build regional capacity and raise awareness. These workshops enable Designated National Authorities and Focal Points to carry out their country's obligations under the Conventions. The Rotterdam Convention Secretariat also assists countries to develop National Action Plans to implement the Convention.

'Going from co-hosting Wogan to Wandsworth jail is a real culture shock. And it's taken a long time to get over'
The Coronation Street star Craig Charles, 42, has been arrested on suspicion of possession of a class A drug, it was confirmed yesterday.
2pm update: Coronation Street actor Craig Charles was today suspended from the ITV1 soap after he was pictured in the Daily Mirror apparently taking drugs. By John Plunkett.
Craig Charles, aka Red Dwarf's Lister, who now fronts a radio show on funk, reveals the platters that matter in his collection: Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker and Billy Paul.
Craig Charles, TV presenter.
There's something about Craig Charles that makes you want to slap him. One-two, bish-bosh, across those smirking cheeky-chappy chops. That's for Red Dwarf, and acting that would get you thrown out of panto, for Robot Wars and self-satisfaction to shame Jeremy Clarkson.

The report raises sharp concerns about the country's food safety after years of unbridled industrialization.
Results of a nationwide survey of soil samples taken from 2005 through last year show contamination in 16.1 percent of the country's soil overall and 19.4 percent of its arable land.
More than 80 percent of the pollution is the result of inorganic toxins, with the top three identified as cadmium, nickel and arsenic.
The results were released jointly by China's Environmental Protection Ministry and its Land and Resources Ministry.

Heavenly Father and Jesus love me
Lesson 6
Click here for copy of lesson from Manual | Sunbeam Manual Main Page | >> Go to next page (Lesson 7)
Love Musical Chairs - Keep the same number of chairs (equal number of children to chairs) always out. Each chair has a picture of something we all love that comes from Heavenly father taped to the back support. You can put several on each chair if you want and let them choose. You play music and when the music stops, they stop and find a chair. Each child shows or tells us what the thing is that they love. The Friend Magazine (Nov. 1989) "I Have Many Blessings" has pictures.
Love Bouquet - Use digital pictures from January to make hearts with the children's pictures in the middle. Glue pictures in the center of the heart. Tape hearts to a wooden skewer and make a "love bouquet" and put this in a small vase. Fill in with greenery, babies breath, other hearts – whatever. (by Rhonda Wall)
Love Potion - Do this activity to help teach your lesson or just for some extra fun. Use it to teach the children that Heavenly Father and Jesus love us.
Love Wall - More heart cutouts needed. When someone in the room does a loving deed, write it on a heart and put it on the wall. The "good deed doers" take these home after class. (by Rhonda Wall)
Bring a hand mirror from home and go around to each child in your class and say, "Heavenly Father and Jesus loves (say child's name)". Then end by saying "Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ loves everyone!"
My Heavenly Father Loves Me Coloring Sheet by Doreen McDowell
Friendship Rings - I did this craft for this lesson and plan on doing it for lesson 13 too. For lesson 6, I used foam hearts. They did not have time to decorate them but they got to choose what color heart and pipe cleaner they wanted and I made the rings. They loved it!! Hobby Lobby and Michael's has packages of foam bugs (butterflies, caterpillars, dragonflies, etc). So I am going to do it again for lesson 13. (Idea by Kristina Kriechel / ga03082008)
I took a picture of each child outside by a tree and placed it in a frame (from Ikea) which said on top "Heavenly Father and Jesus", and on the bottom "Love Me" The frames could be painted or stained. (by Diana Bedgisoff / ga04262009)
I am making a heart necklace out of fun foam and curling ribbon--enough that every one will get one in the end. Each heart will have the words, "My Heavenly Father loves me" written on one side. The other side will have something like "He has blessed me with..." or "He has given me..." We'll talk about briefly about Valentines Day and how Heavenly Father has showered us with blessings to show His love for us. (Marla Monson)

Three people, two men and a woman - have been arrested on suspicion of taking part in sham marriages in the Nicosia District.
According to the police, undercover male and female officers posing as brides and grooms made the arrests at a municipality in the Nicosia District on Tuesday after receiving information that a marriage of convenience was about to take place.
Police said that during questioning the female suspect – a Romanian national - admitted that she visited Cyprus to take part in a sham marriage for the fee of €1000.
Upon further inspection it was determined that the men, both from Pakistan, were in possession of fake identification and are illegally residing in Cyprus.
Police are currently trying to determine if the suspects are part of a wider sham marriages ring based in Cyprus.
Most cases of marriages of convenience involve asylum seekers and visiting citizens from other EU countries who come to the island to get married for a fee and often leave immediately.

Default Country List Profile Does not Work
While creating a 'Country' field in profile, I used the pre-defined field. It worked great on my local setup. However, when I created a 'Country' profile field on the server, it shows empty list. I checked the profile field creation page and no data appears there too.
I checked out the file that is used to populate the country fields. However things aren't working very well.
How can I fix this?

noWe keep going back to this hotel mainly for 2 outstanding reasons...1. the staff, always friendly...always helpful...2. the quietness on our usual second floor and the room we always pick.
Location and allowed pets; room was clean and without odors.
Check in was very, very slow. Problems with computer and multiple charges to credit card for single pet fee; which was eventually resolved, but not without a big hassle and a call to the card issuer to confirm that there were indeed multiple charges.Lobby entrance is somewhat hidden, not obvious. Free breakfast was pathetic - we went elsewhere.

From booking to extending my stay, Lynn was super-accommodating and warm. The Crosby House was immaculate with much attention to detail. The breakfast was not only from scratch but made fresh with delicious fresh fruit and a hot entrée, served in a beautiful intimate dining room. The other couple that were at breakfast were gluten-free and Lynn provided gluten-free, individualized breakfasts for them! I will go back for sure and recommend this bed and breakfast, it is worth paying the additional cost and you get much more in return than staying at the local hotel chains.

The rooms were beautiful and the location can't get any better. The staff (especially the guy that worked Friday afternoon when we checked in) couldn't be any nicer. The continental breakfast was delicious! Loved the manager's reception Friday night.
NopeIt was very quiet in the hotel at night...no slamming doors like you get at some places. Sitting by the fire for drinks and/or breakfast was great. We didn't get a chance to eat at the restaurant that is connected to the hotel but it was very busy, so I'm thinking it's pretty good. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone.

Fire offers a genuine alternative to the iPad
As app developers, we've been waiting for a decent Android tablet for some time. Given the runaway success of the Kindle, Amazon always seemed best-placed to give Apple a run for their money – and with the Amazon Fire, they may just have released the first successful mass-market Android tablet.
As app developers, the thing we're most interested in is the Fire's app store model. We'll happily port our apps to Android, as long as we can be sure people will actually pay for them. This is where Amazon have an opportunity no-one else (apart from Apple) can match. Amazon already have millions of customers' credit card details, and pretty much invented the one-tap impulse purchase. In fact, they're in a similar position to Apple when the iTunes App Store launched – with the customer base and infrastructure to support millions of cardless micropayments, directly on a device.
I'm encouraged by Amazon's statement that 'all apps are Amazon-tested on Kindle Fire' – hopefully this means a closed, curated app store, where apps require approval before they appear on the store. This would be good news for developers looking to create and promote quality apps, especially compared to the mess that is the Google-run Android marketplace.
It's not all good news as far as app development goes. The Fire is yet another device resolution and (more importantly) aspect ratio for us to design for. This makes it harder to develop an app (such as a fixed-layout book or magazine app) for both iPad and Fire, as we'll need to lay out the pages differently to make the most of each tablet's screen.
Putting apps aside, what does the Fire mean for Amazon's traditional eReader audience? Sadly it's hard to tell: the Fire's product page doesn't show how books will look on the full-colour screen. This is an interesting omission from the device's promotion, given how important the e-Ink screen has been in the Kindle's success.
Rather than books, the product pages focus on the introduction of graphic novels, including a digital exclusive of Alan Moore's classic Watchmen. Personally, I can't see this working – the Fire's screen is way too small for scaled-down versions of print comics, at less than ¾ the size of a traditional graphic novel. At that size, comic text will be virtually unreadable to the average user – a problem noticeable even on the iPad's larger screen.
Nonetheless, I believe the Fire will be the first Android tablet to gain a critical mass of users. Importantly for us, all of them will be on the same hardware, and Amazon should make it easy for them to spend money on apps. This is the magic mix that ensured the iPad's success, making it an attractive platform on which developers were willing to invest their time and energy.
The Fire isn't an 'iPad-killer', but it's close enough in functionality that many Kindle users will trust it as an obvious tablet purchase. I don't expect many people to buy both devices – in the same way that Android phone users don't feel they're missing out by not having an iPhone – which means that the Fire is the first genuine alternative to the iPad.
And on that theme, the Fire's real killer feature is its price – $199. At that price point, Amazon are going to sell bucketloads
Graphic novels
Good article, and I'm looking at the Fire with interest. (Not to buy, though!) For all the people claiming that a tablet has to be ten inches, I think they're missing the point. Ten inch tablets (iPad included) are too large and heavy to be decent ereaders, which is what the Fire was designed to be.
As to graphic novels, though, I'd disagree with you. Comixology's tech for reading graphic novels is excellent. You can see the full page, but it zooms and pans around the panels very nicely.
