The tour was a bit short, certainly not a half day- but worth doing.
Excellent tour guide.
Eryl U
Guide was great, knew everything, as they all seem to in Asia. When tour was over, he and the driver said they had no tours in the arvo and they could take us for the rest of the day free, and they did. It was one of our best days in Bangkok in 5 visits, service PLUS.
Jennifer T
The tour was certainly private with only people on this tour being my wife and I. The guide was very informative and spoke very good English.
Bangkok can be a little daunting to navigate for first time visitors. If you have limited time in Bangkok, as we did, a private car and guide is a good way to see and hear about the incredible Grand Palace and Temple complex and see some other city sites and get some cultural and historical insights along the way. Unless you're hankering to buy some jewelery, keep politely but firmly declining the visit to a jewelry outlet that may be offered as "a standard part of the tour". Just ask to be dropped off at one of the big shopping malls near your hotel and shop for what you want at your leisure.

An amazing experience and we loved it. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and taking a private tour means that you don't have to wait around for people coming back to the bus thus making most of our time at the Palace. Thoroughly recommended.
Stephen B
We had a wonderful tour guide who was so informative. We took our time and really enjoyed the sights. On our private tour, we pretty much set our own pace, within reason, which made it most enjoyable for my older Uncle. In a group, I don't think we would have gotten as much out of it because there is only so much time to move several people around.
Verna K W
Extremely good and knowledgeable guide. The Grand Palace is definitely a must see.
This tour was very good.
The tour guide spoke very bad English. We didn't appreciate the jewellry makers stop at the end of the tour. We felt very under pressure to buy something when all we wanted to do was walk around by ourselves. When we left without buying anything the lady that had followed ALL THE WAY around the store seemed very annoyed!
The tour was about 2 hours (definitely less if travelling time was included of course). The last 1 hour was actually reserved for taking the guests to the jewelry shop. You are paying more than what it worth.
Our guide made it easy to get around this crowded site. Interesting and beautiful. Enjoyed the tour!
We were disappointed that we could not enter any actual part of the palace - only acces to the outside. Interesting history and enjoyed watching the changing of the guard. Not one that we would rush back for.
Graham J
United Kingdom
Guide was very knowledgeable and informative. However, could do without lengthy trip to gem centre at end of tour even though we said we were not interested several times.
The private guide I had was ok. His English was just understandable but I had to try very hard to carefully listen, but missed a lot of what he was saying. He did show me a little of the Grand Palace and Wat Phra but didn't appear very interested in his job. I was disappointed that I was driven fairly soon afterwards to a gem outlet selling very expensive jewellery which was not part of this tour and which was quite embarrassing as I was not prepared to buy anything there. He left me quickly afterwards with a taxi driver to take me back to my hotel.

- Great experience2EnjoyGoodFoodDined on 10/15/2014I took an out of town guest to Blue Canyon for dinner. The staff was welcoming and sat us at a table by the fireplace. The menu offers a good variety of options, and the food was excellent. The refined rustic decor was relaxing after a busy day. Great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/10/2014Dined here the other night (June 10) and were most impressed. Slick service from a very knowledgeable waiter and great food too. My wife is still raving about the Bison Pot Pie, and my Rib Eye was cooked to perfection. With a pretty comprehensive wine list on offer we'll be back here again the next time we are in Missoula.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A BC regularBK19Dined on 2/21/2014We've been happy to visit the Blue Canyon for special occasions. We've had great brunches, a first-class Christmas meal, etc. It's just a first-rate place to go in MissoulaSpecial Features:
- Tantalized my taste budsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/14/2014This restaurant was by far the best I have been to in a very long time me and my boyfriend went for Valentine's Day and although it was really busy The hostess was well mannered and even though we didn't get seated right away they took us to the bar and we ordered drinks the meal was amazing and it wasn't that badly priced either I would recommend this place as a special occasion dinner for a brunch get together you'll enjoy the energetic atmosphere and you can actually watch them cook your food right there and it's very high-quality food. I will definitely be going back thereSpecial Features:
- Always a good choiceartgirlDined on 2/14/2014We dine here regularly and have never been disappointed. The trout is one of my favorites and the service is outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor ServiceHappyCoupleDined on 2/14/2014We were seated at 7:50 for our 7:30 reservation. We were seated at the bar for 10 minutes before we were asked for our drink order. Every step of the way we had to wait an excessive amount of time. We had to share a butter knife between us. I had a steak. Our water glasses were empty for extended periods of time. We even asked for water and the waiter returned with the bill and no water. Terrible service this time, but great service in the past.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lodge for TwoNewguyDined on 2/14/2014This restaurant was a nice place for me and my wife to enjoy our evening. The large fireplace set a nice relaxing mood in a large lodge-type restaurant. The bread was outstanding. I had a tasty Bison Pot Pie which was served in a cast-iron pan. My wife loved the bacon wrapped tri-tip which was served on a bed of mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. Service began slow but was perfectly fine after we received our drinks. We will definitely be returning in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- quality did not reflect prices.OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 12/16/2013Heavy butter. You can tell everything comes off the Sysco truck. Not a lot of flavor difference between the three meals we ordered. Salty and rich are how I would have described the taste of everything. Missoula boasts some really quality restaurants. I did not find what i was looking for here.Special Features:
- Fabouls food with young wait staffOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/10/2013Great food , however, our waiter was very young. It took three other wait staff to get our food and drinks to us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not a restaurant for localsKimOVIPDined on 8/9/2013What a disappointment! This place is right off the highway, attached to a casino and on the grounds of a Hilton(?). We should have known as soon as we drove up that it wasn't anything more than a decent place for people traveling through. Should we return to Missoula, we'll stir clear of this place.
- Very "Montana"AnonDined on 7/29/2013The food here is great. I love the fact that they serve Montana specific dishes and the decor definitely lended to that. The service was a little off kilter. Our server was very nice but almost seemed a little spacey. She brought me the wrong soup and I sat without water for about 20 minutes after I asked for a refill. Maybe she was just having an off night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First timerBirthdaygirl719Dined on 7/19/2013Awesome restaurant!! Adam was our server and he was amazing! The food was outstanding! Definitely going back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We were very pleased withOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/4/2012We were very pleased with everything about the Blue Canyon. The service from the entire staff was probably even better than the food, which is one heck of a compliment, seeing as how the food was superb!Special Features:
- Food, was great, our serverOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/13/2012Food, was great, our server was awesome, atmosphere was very authentic and romantic. I was surprissed at the final bill, a lot less than I had anticipated, considering the quality and ambiance.Special Features:
- I had made the reservationOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/8/2012I had made the reservation at 10:30 for 2 people and they put us at a very small table sandwiched between 2 large tables. There were several tables empty that were larger and I felt the need to ask for a different table, which they gladly did accomodate. I am sure it helped in making it a nice experience. I believe the tiny 2 person tables work nicely for cocktails only, not for a meal. Too little space for plates, drinks, etc.
- Tasha was a wonderful serverOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/17/2012Tasha was a wonderful server and we were honored by the visit from Chef Ben.Special Features:

- Decent food, nice place, goodOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/23/2011Decent food, nice place, good service, but way overpriced. $14.00 for an ordinary Burger and fries and $25.00 for a 8oz cheap cut of steak is ridiculous.
- Was more than impressed withOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/13/2011Was more than impressed with the quality of food and the way it was cooked and the service we received. The best we've had, probably ever.Special Features:
- The first time around theOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/17/2011The first time around the elk medallions were over cooked and tough, after sending them back they came out swimming in oil and tough. The rest of my party said that their meals were very good. I have had good meals here in the past, I chalk it up to a bad night in the kitchen. They tried to make it up by comping some of the drinks.
- For the price of the foodOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/13/2011For the price of the food it was good but not outstanding.Special Features:
- Our server was very nice andOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/3/2011Our server was very nice and tried hard, but in my opinion, the restaurant business is not for him. Had heard great things about Blue Canyon, not sure why. The menu was far from interesting or impressive and once we actually found something to eat, the burger and chicken were bland, the potatoes were comparible to a salt lick, and crab-cheese cake cooled to shoe leather by the time it reached our table.
- VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE SERVICE.OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/26/2011VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE SERVICE. WE HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE AND THIS WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE!
- I usually really enjoy BlueOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/5/2011I usually really enjoy Blue Canyon however the last time I was there the food was not prepared very well. I had to remove the skin from the fish I ordered and the asparagus was over cooked as well as the steak that my wife ordered.

- We had Xmas dinner here &OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 12/25/2010We had Xmas dinner here & were hoping for something special. My date noted that of all the restaurants we'd eaten at while he was in town, this was the most expensive & second to last in quality. We had an 8:00 pm reservation; by 8:35 we were only eating bread and water. My date ordered beef tenderloin medallions w/Yukon gold potatoes instead of the lobster spinach potatoes which the waitress told us we could substitute. The dish arrived w/the lobster spinach mashed potatoes which were terrible. We ended up splitting my potatoes as the waitress came back to ask how things were when our mouths full and promptly disappeared. My food was okay, but way overpriced. Could have had the same quality from Macaroni Grill for about half the price.

- We chose your restaurant toOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 12/1/2010We chose your restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. the ambiance was nice and the service was great. I particularily loved the professional service our waiter had been taught. Special in Missoula! But the food???????????? I chose the special prime ribb. the meat was old and dry and chewy. the poataoes were instant (I would gauantee) and the green beans were unetible. Please have your chiefs TASTE the food before it is served. My husband had the tenderloin and enjoyed it but his green beans had the same offensive flavor as mine. We did enjoy the dessert of pumpkin and chocolate. I am aware the Missoula is far away from big cities and FOODIES but it should be easy to serve prime rib, (if a good cut is purchased).

National chains aren't the only ones quick out of the gate this holiday season.
With pre-Black Friday sales and promotions on the increase, a group of northeast Indiana retailers have banded together to create HollyPop – A Downtown Festival of Pop-Up Boutiques, set to kick off next Wednesday at 127 W. Wayne St.
The idea behind the three-day event is twofold: Give both area companies and a potential storefront some exposure.
There will be a ton of people out next Wednesday during Night of Lights, downtown's annual Christmas lighting event, said Matt Kelley, an organizer and owner of One Lucky Guitar and The Good Ones Clothing Co. of Fort Wayne.
We figured it would be a good time to start, he added.
HollyPop also takes advantage of Nov. 24's designation nationally as Small Business Saturday.
That's kind of the anchor, Kelley said.
His is one of nine businesses participating.
Kelley said not all are brick-and-mortar operations, so the sale may allow them to reach new customers.
Pop-up boutiques involve retailers who temporarily shift their business to downtown locations for a short period.
Downtown booster and businessman Scott Glaze owns the storefront on West Wayne Street and views HollyPop as a testing ground for future endeavors.
They were looking for spaces, and it's just exciting to have some (new) retail right downtown, said Glaze, the CEO of Fort Wayne Metals and owner of JK O'Donnell's restaurant downtown. We've seen the pop-up concept before. This is kind of a mini-mall for retail. Hopefully, it will catch on.
Lindsey Hively hopes the same.
She is owner of Kernel Coladas in Columbia City. Hively wants her gourmet popcorn business to break into the Fort Wayne market.
This will help us gauge the customer base, she said.
HollyPopHollyPop is a Christmas shopping event at 127 W. Wayne St.
Stores will be open 6 to 9 p.m. Nov. 21; and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 23-24

Dec 14, 2012People need to stop hating on Wiz, this album is actually very good, and is LEAGUES above Rolling Papers, which was so bad that he actually issued a statement apologizing for what it turned into. ONIFC is a return to form for Wiz Khalifa, it has some songs that pound, some that are more R and B, and then he has his trademark trippy beats and chill lyrics and everyone loves Wiz for. If you don't like this album, then you don't even know what good Wiz is, and shouldn't give him a bad score for nothing.… Expand
Feb 15, 2013Yall are stupid if you dont smoke pot your prolly not gona likethis album.... so dont about it go listen to bruno mars and frank. Dude has maid 20 mill...dont think his style will change a little get real. Stop haten and put on his old albums if you mad. TGOD
Jan 15, 2013Even a late appearance from The Weeknd can't save this omni-tonal snoozefest.
Dec 19, 2012Wiz doesn't often come across as having much of direction, but things like that are what make him strike as more lost than ever here.

Ten Things You Didn't Know About Apple's 2013 iPad, Air + mini Lineup
Just as was the case last month, almost all of the details on new iPads were well-established months before Apple officially debuted them in San Francisco today—our January reports on the iPad Air and second-generation iPad mini mentioned pretty much everything important except for their names. But there were still some surprises left unanswered until today, and we've uncovered some interesting details since the event ended.
10. Changing Names: iPad 5 is "iPad Air;" the second-generation iPad mini the is "iPad mini with Retina display." Now there are four iPad models being sold simultaneously, and Apple's naming conventions have just become a little more complex. The flagship 9.7"-screened model is now iPad Air, sold in 16GB/32GB/64GB/128GB capacities at prior prices, just like the flagship "iPad mini with Retina display" is offered in those capacities—now at $399/$499/$599/$699. They are seemingly very similar to one another in specifications, only with different screens, and now separated in price by $100.
9. One Cellular iPad To Rule Them All? Breaking with the past, Apple has seemingly come up with a single iPad Air cellular model and a single iPad mini with Retina display cellular model compatible with 14 LTE bands—all of the ones Apple currently supports across the globe. As a result, users will conceivably be able to carry a single cellular iPad almost anywhere in the world where LTE is offered, rather than needing to worry about whether a U.S. model only works in North America or is capable of being used across Europe. This is a quiet but big win for traveling iPad users.
8. Oh No, They Didn't: Rumors that the new iPads would get improved rear cameras, Touch ID sensors, and other externally obvious frills turned out to be inaccurate. They both have 5MP rear cameras with the same specs as their predecessors. Gold iPads were also not in the offing this year.
7. But Yes, They Did: The biggest spec change is the iPad mini with Retina display's jump from 163ppi 1024x768 resolution to 326ppi 2048x1536 resolution. Apple bumped both new iPads' front cameras with improved backside illumination sensors, which appear to be the same parts found in the iPhone 5c and 5s, likely to yield small but welcome improvements to color rendition in low lighting. Both models received A7 and M7 processors—the "A7X," a rumored step up over the iPhone 5s processor, did not materialize. It's unclear whether Apple has given the iPads more RAM than the iPhone 5s, but if we were betting, we'd guess "yes, for sure." MIMO Wi-Fi and improved LTE band support will be interesting, as well.
6. T-Mobile Gets iPads, Offers Free Data: For the first time, T-Mobile will officially be selling the iPad mini 1G, iPad mini with Retina display, and iPad Air. If you're willing to go with a base-level 200MB/month cellular data package, T-Mobile will provide data to you for free.
5. A Little Detail On Cases and Covers. As Apple noted during the event, it will be offering $39 polyurethane iPad Air Smart Covers in six different colors, plus leather iPad Air Smart Cases in six colors. Not mentioned: the new covers are three-segmented rather than four, a change carried over from the iPad mini version, and Apple got rid of the metal exterior hinge — a design element that previously added some class to the otherwise plasticky lids. Leather iPad covers appear to be gone unless you want them with a case attached.
4. How Much Thicker/Thinner? The iPad mini with Retina display is 0.01mm thicker than the original iPad mini, or 7.5mm versus 7.2mm. The Wi-Fi version weighs 0.05 pounds more, a difference of 23 grams, and the cellular version jumps by 0.06 pounds or 29 grams. By comparison, the iPad Air sheds 0.1 inch (1.2mm) of height, 0.71 inch (16.2mm) of width, and 0.05" of depth (1.3mm) versus the iPad 2, losing a more noticeable 0.33 pounds of weight in Wi-Fi and 0.3 pounds of weight in cellular.
3. Big Battery Changes: The Retina iPad mini is jumping from a 16.3-Watt-hour battery to 23.8-Watt-hours, a 46% increase in power consumption if the number of hours of run time is actually remaining the same. Apple says that it is, with 10 hours of Wi-Fi/video/music versus 9 hours of cellular web use. To reduce refueling times, the company will now include a 10-Watt charger in the package rather than the 5-Watt charger it bundled with the first-generation iPad mini. Notably, the iPad Air is dropping in battery size from 42.5-Watt-hours down to 32.4-Watt-hours, which should mean much faster recharging times and better performance with external battery accessories. Apple is bundling the iPad Air with a 12-Watt charger, just like the fourth-generation iPad.
2. Did Somebody Say Dual Microphones? The iPad mini with Retina display and iPad Air both feature dual microphones. Apple's official photograph shows the second microphone resting lower on each iPad's upper back than the first one, centered roughly behind the FaceTime HD camera.
1. First-Gen iPad mini - Now 16GB Only, and in Gray: Apple's keeping the original iPad mini around as a 16GB $299 entry model (cellular version at $429), while swapping the black chassis version for Space Gray, just as it did with the iPod lineup last month. Notably, the iPad 2 remains with the same old chassis as before, at the same price point, with the same 16GB storage capacity.
We'll have much more to say on the new iPads soon. Both ship in November, though notably, the Retina iPad mini appears to be arriving much later than the iPad Air, with an indeterminate "later in November" date rather than November 1.

Recipe: Spaghetti with summer squash and peppers
Recipe: Spaghetti with summer squash and peppers
Dietitian's tip: This garlicky primavera-style dish gets its rich, nutty flavor from the whole-grain pasta and chopped walnuts. If you can't find whole-wheat noodles to suit your taste, try a half-wheat, half-regular blend.
Serves: 4
In a blender or food processor, process the bread to make fine crumbs. In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and saute until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the bread crumbs and cook until lightly browned and crunchy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the walnuts, parsley and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Set aside.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan and heat over medium heat. Add the yellow squash, zucchini and carrot, and saute until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Add the bell peppers to the pan and saute until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Return the squash mixture to the pan and toss to mix. Set aside and keep warm.
Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 10 to 12 minutes or according to package directions. Drain the pasta thoroughly.
In a warmed shallow serving bowl, combine the spaghetti, vegetables and bread crumb mixture. Toss gently to mix. Serve immediately.

In a written statement, the pilot reported, 'Upon reaching Morris (C09) the windsock indicated the winds were from the NE at 8-10 knots. Entered the pattern for runway 36. As the mains were touching down, a strong gust of wind from the right blew the airplane towards the left side of the runway near the runway lights. As the nose wheel touched down the airplane pulled to the left again. In order to avoid hitting several runway lights attempted to guide the airplane between the lights into the grassy area to the left of the runway. As the airplane was being slowed in the grass, a drop off of about 5 feet into a drainage area appeared. The airplane went over the drop off. The nose strut was bent backwards and the prop struck the ground...'. The airport manager reported that the winds at C09 were 090 degrees at 10 knots with gusts to 15 knots. He also reported that one runway light, located approximately 500-1,000 feet from the threshold of runway 36, was damaged. Inspection of the aircraft revealed no mechanical anomalies.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Titans fullback
|Army Lt. Col. Ryan McCabe presented Titans fullback Collin Mooney, a 1st Lt. in the Army Reserve, with an achievement medal for work that Mooney recently did. Click here for a slideshow of the presentation.
Over the holiday weekend, Mooney traveled to his wife's family home in Pennsylvania. It is about two hours from West Point, N.Y., where he and a friend since childhood, 1st Lt. Dimitri del Castillo, roomed together when they attended the U.S. Military Academy.
Mooney and del Castillo became friends when they were in elementary school in Texas, and Mooney wanted to visit del Castillo for the first time since attending the funeral after del Castillo was killed in Afghanistan in 2011.
"It was harder than I thought it would be — a lot harder, but I'm thankful to go back and be able to see him again," Mooney said. "I couldn't be more thankful for what he's done and the service members that have given their lives. I think it's something we should appreciate. Memorial Day, you know, it's a day to have fun and celebrate those freedoms that those men and women died for, but we should also remember what they did and their sacrifice to their country."
As part of that remembrance, American flags had been placed at each gravesite. Mooney left an additional flag for del Castillo, as well as a Titans patch that the second-year fullback had been wearing on his camouflage hat.
Mooney said he thought the experience impacted his wife's family as well, but he most hopes the visit helps del Castillo's family, to let them know that their sacrifice is still appreciated.
"Until you go to West Point, Arlington, or something like that, it doesn't really hit home until you see it, so I think it had an impact on them and was good for me," Mooney said. "I hope it was good for his family, as well, to have someone there on that day."
Mooney joined the Titans last spring as an undrafted rookie after serving three years of active duty. He spent most of that time as a Field Artillery officer at Fort Sill, Okla., after he finished at West Point and set the single-season rushing record for the Army Black Knights in 2008. Mooney spent most of last season on the Titans' practice squad, but his hard work was rewarded in the season finale when he carried the ball five times for 19 yards.
This spring, Mooney continued his training with the Titans as well as his commitment as an Army Reserve 1st Lt. by embarking on a two-week tour with the U.S. Army Recruiting Battalion of Nashville. Mooney made multiple visits to schools in Tennessee and Kentucky, letting high school students know about the opportunities in the Army.
Mooney served as an ambassador of the Army and the Titans during the trips and said he received great welcomes at each school.
"It was great to see the excitement and support that the Army had and the Titans had," Mooney said. "I was representing both, and to see the amount of support that both fine organizations receive from students is great."
Lt. Col. Ryan McCabe on Tuesday morning delivered a speech that recognized Mooney's work, pinned a medal on him and presented him a certificate, and Mooney's teammates gave him a standing ovation. Lt. Col. McCabe also presented Titans coach Mike Munchak with a camouflage football in appreciation of the continued relationship between the military and the Titans.
Lt. Col. McCabe told players and coaches he remembered a visit he received from Mooney shortly after his arrival in Nashville and promised, "I'll do everything I can to support you."
"And he has," Lt. Col. McCabe said.

Axl Rose's European tour isn't going too well. First he gets robbed – reportedly $200,000 in gold and diamond necklaces – then Guns N' Roses get attacked with coins and cups by their own fans during a show in London, and now he's falling all over the place. Watch the video below.
The Guns N' Roses frontman took a nasty fall during the band's headlining show at the French festival Hellfest this past weekend. Axl Rose was just getting started with "Sweet Child O' Mine" when he tried to walk over to a higher platform and didn't make it. He hit the ground, face first.
The singer took the fall like a professional and just picked himself up and continued singing, but you could see that he was a bit shaken by the incident.
This is actually the second time Axl Rose falls onstage during the band's European tour. In May, he tripped over equipment and fell backwards during a live show in Liverpool. He was even forced to seek medical attention.
Now for the video. The original five-minute clip has been taken down for some reason, but we've found another shorter clip online (you're welcome). Watch the incident unravel below:
What do you think? Did you laugh?

GS1 India offers a barcode verification service to enable comprehensive barcode diagnostics. This service helps organisations print and maintain bar codes that conform to ISO and GS1 specifications and ensures efficient scanning by any type of barcode scanner in a variety of scanning environments.
Verification should ideally be carried out at the artwork stage, prior to bulk printing and thereafter once in a year to ensure consistency in print quality in different print runs. Verification is carried out by an ISO compliant verifier, followed by additional minute observations on several criteria like print contrast, magnification, light margins, bar width, representation, check digit calculation, etc. keeping in mind GS1 specifications.
At the completion of testing, a bar code verification report is issued. Recommendations for changes, if necessary, are suggested in the report. GS1 verification reports are accepted by retailers globally and are even a pre-requisite for acceptance of products by many of them.
How to verify your GS1 BarCode
Organisations can apply for verification of their product packaging artworks incorporating GS1 BarCodes by sending packaging samples to GS1 India.
GS1 India provides detailed verification report for each sample, only for barcodes generated as per GS1 standards.
Find more about barcode verification
Verification reports shall be provided free of cost for upto 2 barcode samples if the same are submitted to GS1 India within 30 days of allocation of the GS1 Company prefix number . Beyond this, barcode samples shall be charged for.
For any assistance, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
The verification fee is Rs 562.00 per barcode sample (inclusive of 12.36% service tax) for GS1 India subscribers. For barcode samples using GS1 company prefix number issued by any other GS1 organisation worldwide, desiring verification reports from GS1 India, the fee applicable shall be Rs 843.00 (inclusive of 12.36% service tax) per barcode sample.

Disease-modifying medications
Patients who experience progressive joint destruction in spite of NSAIDs are candidates for more aggressive disease-modifying medications. Disease-modifying medications are important to prevent progressive joint destruction and deformity. These medications include methotrexate, which is used orally or can be given by injection on a weekly basis for psoriatic arthritis as well as for psoriasis alone. It can cause bone-marrow suppression, as well as liver damage with long-term use. Regular monitoring of blood counts and liver blood tests should be performed during therapy with methotrexate.
Antimalarial medication such as hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) is also used for persistent psoriatic arthritis. Its potential side effects include injury to the retina of the eye. Regular ophthalmologist examinations are suggested while using this medication.
Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine) is an oral sulfa-related medicine that has also been helpful in some patients with persistent psoriatic arthritis. Traditionally, Azulfidine has been an important agent in the treatment of ulcerative and Crohn's colitis. It should be taken with food, as it too can cause gastrointestinal upset.
Research has demonstrated effective treatment of both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis with leflunomide (Arava), a medication that is also used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
Medications that block the chemical messenger known as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) are another treatment option for moderate to severe psoriatic arthritis. The TNF-blockers etanercept (Enbrel), infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab (Humira), and golimumab (Simponi) are also referred to as biologic medications and can be very effective for severe psoriatic arthritis. They can significantly improve or eradicate both the psoriasis and the arthritis as well as stop progressive joint damage. There is an increased risk of infection while taking biologic medications.
Ustekinumab (Stelara) is an injectable biologic medication that is used to treat severe plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis with or without methotrexate. This biologic works by blocking chemical messengers called interleukins. There is an increased risk of infections while taking ustekinumab.
Corticosteroids are potent anti-inflammatory agents. Corticosteroids can be given by mouth (such as prednisone) or injected (cortisone) directly into the joints to reduce inflammation. They can have side effects, especially with long-term use. These include thinning of the skin, easy bruising, infections, diabetes, osteoporosis and, rarely, bone death (necrosis) of the hips and knees.
While the relationship between the skin disease and joint disease is not clear, there are reports of improvement of the arthritis simultaneously with clearing of the psoriasis. Patients with psoriasis can benefit by direct sunlight exposure and are often treated with direct ultraviolet light therapy.
Finally, patients who have severe destruction of the joints may be candidates for orthopedic surgical repair. Total hip joint replacement and total knee joint replacement surgery are now commonplace in community hospitals throughout the United States.

INDIANAPOLIS – Officials at Indianapolis International Airport have grounded artwork inspired by troubled pop star Justin Bieber.
The airport had hired Columbus, Ind., native Tre Reising to make an art display for one of the passenger concourses.
An airport spokesman told WISH-TV that managers expected a display about hip hop and art. Instead, Reising made multicolor letters of the word "#beliebers" that the singer's fans use as a social media tagline.
The airport is still paying Reising the $500 promised for the artwork.
The artist told WTHR-TV he understands the airport's decision. He said he thought travelers would have fun taking photos of the artwork and sharing them online.
Reising's taking the piece back to his current home in New York City and hopes to eventually put it on display.

- lower back or side pain
- painful or difficult urination
- swelling of feet or lower legs

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to clofibrate: oral capsule
In general, the most common adverse effects due to clofibrate (the active ingredient contained in Atromid-S) therapy are gastrointestinal in nature (especially nausea) and may subside over time or with a decreased dosage.
Cholelithiasis and cholecystitis (sometimes requiring surgery or resulting in pancreatitis) occur more frequently in patients receiving clofibrate (the active ingredient contained in Atromid-S) than in patients receiving placebo.
Gastrointestinal reactions may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastritis, weight loss or gain, and gallstones (during prolonged therapy).
Patients diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis are usually asymptomatic clinically several days after discontinuing clofibrate (the active ingredient contained in Atromid-S) but the muscle enzymes may remain elevated for a more prolonged period. Severe renal disease may increase the risk of myopathies, perhaps because of accumulation of the active metabolite clofibric acid.
Musculoskeletal effects (myopathy) typically occur as a "flu-like" syndrome (myalgia, cramps, muscle weakness, and arthralgia). Rhabdomyolysis with an accompanying increase in creatinine kinase and creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) has been reported in patients with renal disease.
Electrolyte disturbances like hyperkalemia have been reported in patients with renal insufficiency who receive clofibrate (the active ingredient contained in Atromid-S)
Nervous system
Central nervous system depressant effects may include fatigue, weakness, drowsiness, and/or dizziness. Headache has also been reported.
Hematologic adverse effects may include leukopenia, anemia, eosinophilia, agranulocytosis, and potentiation of anticoagulant effects. Because of these effects, some clinicians recommend periodic monitoring of blood counts.
Cardiovascular complications may include various arrhythmias and altered angina pectoris. Swelling and phlebitis have occurred at xanthomata sites.
Renal dysfunction (including dysuria, hematuria, proteinuria, and decreased urine output) has been reported. Acute renal failure and interstitial nephritis have also been reported.
Decreased libido (primarily in men) and impotence have been reported.
Hepatic disorders may include elevated liver enzymes and/or hepatomegaly. (Liver biopsy, when performed in this setting, is usually normal.) Clofibrate (the active ingredient contained in Atromid-S) should be used cautiously for patients with a history of jaundice or liver disease.
Dermatologic reactions which occur in about 2% of patients may include urticaria, rash, dry skin, and alopecia. Erythema multiforme, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome have occurred rarely.
One case of a hypersensitivity reaction occurring as eosinophilic pneumonia has been reported.
Fever, which occurred on rechallenge with clofibrate (the active ingredient contained in Atromid-S) has been reported in one case.
Oncologic effects of tumor growth in rodents have been associated with many lipid-lowering drugs. Clofibrate (the active ingredient contained in Atromid-S) has been associated with liver, pancreatic and testicular tumors in rats. Long-term clinical trials are needed to define the risk of cancer in humans.

National Association of Tax Resolution Companies Holds Inaugural Conference, Sets Course
Tax Resolution Services, Co., CEO and founder Michael Rozbruch is selected as President and Chairman of the Board for new association
Encino, CA - On May 20-21 in Washington, D.C., the National Association of Tax Resolution Companies held
its long-awaited and highly anticipated inaugural conference and succeeded in accomplishing its
initial goals. The newly formed NATRC set out to encourage tax resolution companies who employ
best practices in their firms and do legitimate business to unite and take steps to influence
and craft law: this in the recent wake of a handful of high-profile nationally marketed firms
going under and being charged with unscrupulous business practices, creating doubt in the minds
of consumers and a black eye for an industry that has been working hard to establish a
polished image. Additionally, the conference accomplished its goal to elect its board and
leadership over the weekend.

Landscape photography in Iceland can be one of the best experiences. The light in the summer lasts for hours, and in the case of a nice sunset or sunrise, you can photograph great color for hours. The icebergs at Jokulsarlon in southern Iceland are amazing shapes and shades of blue and when they contrast with the warmth and light of a beautiful sunset it makes for s dramatic scene. We had just a few moments on this night to capture the beautiful sunrays as they filled the sky and put the icing on a wonderful night of photography
