I loved it!Posted Jun 5, 2012
I recently stayed at this B&B and I would recommend it to solo travellers, like myself, for couples and for families because it is a safe, cosy bed and breakfast. A Vinicius et Mita is about a 5-10 minute walk from the beautiful San Giovanni church and about a 15-20 minute walk to the Colosseum. The nearest Metro Station, Re di Roma, is a short 5-10 minute walk from the B&B and this station is only four stations away from the Termini so it is well connected yet it is in a quiet area and it is away from the busy tourist areas. There is a supermarket located near the Metro station and there are many ATMs in the area as well as a cafe just around the corner from the B&B that sell cappuccinos for ,90 cents (I was impressed!). My room opened out onto a balcony and each room has it's own private bathroom located next door to the bedroom. A Vinicius et Mita is beautifully decorated inside and there is a lovely garden/court yard at the front of the building which is a nice area for relaxing. The family who own A Vinicius et Mita are lovely and extremely helpful and welcoming and the breakfast was very good. i would definitely recommend this B&B to family and friends and I hope to stay there again some time.

A great placePosted Oct 5, 2011
This unassuming little B&B was a wonderful surprise. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. My room was huge and very well cared for and the bathroom was one of the biggest, and cleanest, I found during my entire trip to Europe. Breakfast is abundant and there is easy access to bus, metro and train lines. I would stay there again in a minute - in fact, I plan on it!

A simple roomPosted Jul 15, 2011 on Hotels.com
I stayed there 5 nights and it was an enjoyable experience. It was affordable and I was about a 10 minute walk to the metro and then 4 stops to Roma Termini so the location wasn't in the middle of things but I wasn't really looking for that either. I wish there were a few more restaurants but there were enough and they were quality, affordable food, not tourist stuff.

The Club has been experiencing very high levels of claims since 2006 (most particularly claims on the International Group Pool) and since the middle of 2007, a negative impact of the credit crunch on its investments. As a consequence, free reserves fell to just under $81M on February 20, 2008.
The Club announced that Additional Calls will now be levied and an increase in Advance Calls going forward is required.
The Club reports that the 2005/2006 policy year has developed satisfactorily and will be closed without further call. For 2006/2007, an Additional Call will be payable at 35 percent of the Estimated Total Cost (the ETC) for the year. For 2007/2008 an Additional Call is also to be paid at 35 per cent of the year's ETC; and for 2008/09 the Additional Call is payable at 25 per cent of the ETC.
The Club has also set rates for Release Calls which are the equivalent, in respect of each open policy year, of Deferred and Additional Calls which have been set by the Committee, but not yet become due, plus the same 20 per cent release call uplift which has applied for many years.
The Club's Committee also reached a decision on premium requirements for the forthcoming 2009/2010 policy year. Against the background of high claims and investment uncertainty, it determined a General Increase of 15 percent in Advance Calls, before adjustment in respect of individual records. Any adjustment to the cost of the Club's share of the International Group's excess loss reinsurance program, which has not yet been determined, will also be applied. The estimated Deferred Call for 2009/2010 has been set at 40 per cent of the Advance Call.

Unique Seaflex, a Unique Maritime Group company which is an integrated turnkey subsea and offshore solution providers, has facilitated a complex underwater lift project carried out for Lundin Tunisia BV in approximately 300m of water.
Lundin Tunisia BV is a 40% stakeholder in and operator of the Oudna field 80km offshore Tunisia.
Abandoned by Shell in the mid-80s when relatively small discoveries in relatively deep water were still considered unviable due to lack of pipeline infrastructure, with the advent of the FPSO came a new way to make such fields viable. Oudna was accordingly de-mothballed a decade or so ago, and serviced until recently by the FPSO Ikdam.
At end of the field's viable lifecycle, the problem arose of how best to decommission the FPSO - and in particular how to take care of the delicate operation of disconnecting several hundred tons' worth of moorings without incident.
After a series of technical discussions between Lundin and Unique Seaflex, it was determined that a combination of 41 different-sized parachute-style Air Lift Bags (ALBs) up to 50t in size were needed to be installed on the moorings to reduce their tension to a manageable level. The deck-mounted linear winch was rated to 450t, but because the three mooring anchors were extremely well embedded in the sandy seabed, the effective tension on the chafe chain would have increased by an estimated 1.5 to 2 times the original 400t.
The use of Unique Seaflex ALBs allowed the deck-mounted linear winch to pull on the chafe chain so as to slacken the connection to the Ikdam deck hook. The connecting shaft was then pulled out from the wren hook and by doing so, freed the chafe chain thus allowing the mooring system to gently be lowered on a wire, thereby de-tensioning the system.Once released, the chafe chain was transferred to a nearby AHTV which held the de-tensioned mooring system whilst the Ikdam FPSO disconnected.
Along with the fleet of ALBs, Unique Seaflex also supplied all the heavy duty shackles and lifting slings as well as an air inflation/deflation system and a topside technician to oversee the operation and ensure the safest and most efficient use of the package of equipment.
Commenting on this occasion, Graham Brading, Managing Director at Unique Seaflexwho was instrumental in leading the Unique Seaflex effort on this project proudly said, "Whilst we do supply standard buoyancy products to solve standard buoyancy problems, Unique Seaflex is always dedicated to bring out world-class solutions when clients describe their operational challenges and ask us to work with them to develop methods which will deliver them the best possible technical, operational and commercial outcome."

"Spying on Saddam" chronicles the UN's dramatic, thwarted eight-year long
effort to find and dismantle Saddam Hussein's secret weapons of mass
While the achievements of the UN weapons inspection mission (UNSCOM)
were considerable--destroying more of Iraq's weapons than were eliminated in
the Gulf War--it fell short in getting all of Hussein's deadly arsenal. And, in
December 1998, Iraq expelled all UNSCOM weapons inspectors charging that UNSCOM
has become a spy agency.
This FRONTLINE report traces the history of UNSCOM--from its birth at
the end of the Gulf War, to its daring inspections and confrontations with the
Iraqi military, to the final events leading up to the expulsion. Through
interviews with the heads of UNSCOM, journalists, and policy experts on
Iraq, it also tracks how politics, quarrels and turf wars involving the UN, the
State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency and Israel effectively
undermined and ended UNSCOM.
The story's central figure is lead weapons inspector, Scott Ritter, the
most famous renegade Marine officer since Oliver North. His high profile,
aggressive inspections of secret Iraqi biological and chemical weapons sites
earned him praise as an American hero. But he was controversial. FRONTLINE
examines Ritter's charges that UNSCOM was infiltrated and undermined by the CIA and that Washington and the UN Security Council failed to support
UNSCOM as its confrontations with Iraq escalated in the late 1990's.
These increasingly tense face-offs with armed Iraqis (documented in dramatic
video footage shot by the weapons inspectors) reveal what it took for
Scott Ritter and dozens of other feisty, skilled weapons inspectors to
overcome Iraq's elaborate concealment strategies.
But now that UNSCOM's weapons inspectors have been expelled--what will
happen? Can Saddam Hussein rebuild his stockpile of weapons of mass
destruction? The experts on Iraq evaluate the many questions and challenges
confronting America's future Iraq policy.

Despite some stupid articles popping up online talking about Canada's debut of the BlackBerry Z10 being lackluster, it definitely FELT like a massively successful launch from our perspective - the site has been bustling. We know carriers pushed pre-ordering of the Z10 hard, so a lot of the sales that happened were quick pickups (nobody should hever have to wait in line in Canada in February).
BlackBerry just confirmed the success of the Canada launch, as well as the initial sales of the Z10 in the UK, releasing a statement from BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins.
This just in from BlackBerry:
"In Canada, yesterday was the best day ever for the first day of a launch of a new BlackBerry smartphone. In fact, it was more than 50% better than any other launch day in our history in Canada," said Thorsten Heins, President & CEO of BlackBerry. "In the UK, we have seen close to three times our best performance ever for the first week of sales for a BlackBerry smartphone."
Great news. It definitely feels like momentum is in the right direction for the launch of the BlackBerry Z10 right now. Must have been those paper cranes. :)
Especially since I was the First Consumer to get A Z10 Activated in Canada. Zormtrooper10 all the way!!!
got my white z10 yesterday and in love sharing it all around work and people are impressed :D i love the look of shock on their faces even had isheep drooling wishing they waited
thatplaybookguy - awesome Zormtrooper wallpaper with the "this is not the DROID you were looking for" tagline You should make that wallpaper available to download. Also make it into a T-shirt, that would be awesome.
lol yeah I was kinda like (what?) when he said that too (and i'm Canadian) I'm pretty sure we're on social media more than anyone else in the world though, like per capita.
Eh, people always say those kinds of things to the crowd they're speaking to.
There was also a report that 50% of the preorder were android and iphone users. So that bodes very well in my opinion that there is more than just diehard BB users up for grabs.
Heard about that, which is awesome in my opinion.
Bell employee told me that 50% of the walk-in crowd to buy the Z10 were also non BlackBerry users. iPhone mostly. Good feedback I suppose.
At the Telus Store I was in yesterday, there were 12 other people who cam in and switched to the Z10 along with me, however I was the only current BlackBerry user. I retired my 9900 and watched my son and 6 others retire various iPhones and 5 Android users. I know the assistant manager and we were blown away. There was a great demo guy from BlackBerry walking around demonstrating it for everyone. It was a great moment
Wouldn't it be amazing if the return of Blackberry actually caused the growth of iphone users to be negative one of these quarters?
In the store I got mine from there were people that were switching from both iOS and droids. Some were previous BB users, some were not. But they all got cheers and applause from those of us in the store upgrading from older BB phones.
???? :(
The US is important, but not all-important. There are bigger markets out there, globally the US is becoming less & less important. Don't get me wrong, the US is still very important. American setiment is given a very global audience, & Americans are willing to pay higher premiums & buy more apps then anyone else.
I just didn't like your somewhat conceded remark about the US being "where it realy matters"
This is great news, but would like to see # v.s. %. Anyone have that info? Stopped at a Verizon store (in U.S.) and the manager said he received his first brief on the Z10 yesterday. He sounded positive about the information he recieved and actually admitted the OS looked "very slick.
You're very welcome, BlackBerry :D
Accidentally covering it my ass. Lol. Not reshooting!
I believe you said you bought yours outright. That's interesting since I got turned away at 3 stores as soon as I said I would buy one outright. They had stock, but wouldn't sell even one handset without signing a 3 year contract. My own carrier was sold out and wouldn't even put my name on a waiting list if I was going to pay full price for the phone. They said "maybe in a few more weeks".
I had no trouble with buying phones outright yesterday. But I also pre-ordered at Walmart instead of a carrier store because they didn't even ask if I was upgrading and I knew they wouldn't care. Plus, they open two hours earlier then carrier stores in my area.
I hope this translates into a good first quarter reporting for BlackBerry. The late launch in the US won't help, but this should.
I'd like to see the "non-Blackberry users" defined further. Are they actually converting iPHONE/ANDROID fans or are they getting back old BlackBerry users who temporarily defected.
The second group is likely an easier sell than the former.
Agree. But not all users are the same. Just looking at my friends, I've got a mix.
- I have some who had issues and will never, ever buy another BlackBerry.
- I have some who left because they wanted to try something different. They're eyeing Z10 now because they want to try something different again.
- I have some who left because they couldn't do certain things on BlackBerry that could be done on other platforms, but also miss certain things (like BBM). They're eying Z10 too.
- I have some iPhone fanatic nuts who've bought every single iPhone ever. No chance are they getting this
- I have some who've had issues with iPhone (ie. broken home button). They're eying Z10.
- I have a colleague who loves tech and thinks it's cool, but depends on apps only on iPhone. Not interested in Z10 ... right now.
Different strokes for different folks.
I can only speak for myself, of course. My only smartphone was / is Android, Samsung's first 'Galaxy S' variant ('Captivate' or something, the i896 in Canada.) Quite outdated by now, stuck at 2.3.3, I just haven't kept up with the times/phones capable of more. Sure, it can run some apps; as a phone, it's 'meh.' Samsung's 'TouchWiz' launcher fails me miserably, often losing the phone app itself from its default location.
Am I an android 'fan'? Not really, maybe I just haven't given it a fair shake. I don't want to root phones and sideload apps and fiddle with numerous 'launchers' though.
I have a Z10 on order, not in a hurry, just time for a new phone. There may be better phones, I just don't have the patience.
Have never had an iPhone, but do have a 14-month old iPad2 -- now with busted sound--so an $800 trackpad, e-reader and silent web browser, until/unless I replace it or effect a repair. Even my fairly significant investment in apps isn't enough to entice me to iPhone, fearing it will last about as long as the iPad (thus negating my investment in the apps, once again.)
I don't like to keep replacing devices year after year after bl**dy year. I don't know about the build quality of the Z10, but I'm willing to take a chance. Right or wrong, I'll see you in 3 years when it's time to upgrade again.
Awesome news. Z10 FTW!
non bb users could be current or previous but i think Most current iphone and android users were once bb users ... just some held on a little longer than others maybe many are missing their precious BBM lol.. i dunno but i love my z10 running on bell with LTE :D
Good job Kevin. It's important that you and the crackberry team take the time to explain to the world, specially the US people, the lies and negative campaign that some media and "tech blogs" such as BGR (that even claimed the Z10 screen was greasy!!!! How ridiculous was that review by a seriously disturbed hater that claimed BB was dead a long time ago) have been doing, trying their very best to damage the launch of the BB Z10 and the future of the company. Now everyone can understand why a tech company like Apple spends more money in lobbying then they do on R&D.
The real question is how big was their previous biggest launch...
probably their first attempt at killing the iphone with the storm... i remember waiting in line for that one :)
What's with the carrier blandness? Good to hear Canada Wide it went well. I went down to SaskTel yesterday to pick up my son's reserved Z10 and thought I'd pick one up for me while there but they had sold out all they had brought in. That's good, even if it only meant 30 phones. However, I was disgusted at how little fanfare there was for BB. There was not one poster or one sign anywhere to be seen, in fact they didn't even have a Z10 there as a demo or model or anything. Posters all over on Iphone 5 and even Iphone 4 but no Z10. Come on carriers, what gives?
do u know how many people are charged with data overages on iphone?.. i sometimes work for wireless wave, bell,virgin, fido, rogers, solo, and you would be amazed by the number of angry customers with iphones wondering why they have outrageous charges for data use, main reason is people dont know how much data they actually use with the iphone and most people that get it get a cheap plan, my bb plan uses compressed data it is 6gb share with a 6gb plan for my razrxt910. bottom line carriers have a lot of money to make on data with the iphone, and some individual stores are run by apple fanboys, seen it first hand here in fort mcmurray, guys working at telus telling custmers to stay away from the bb and go iphone always saying things like there are n apps for bb like iphone or its too hard to use, iphone is simple. etc.
That BGR "boy" is weird... He needs to quit touching his greasy face and hair before reviewing a product, or eating fried chicken all the time... I'll determine what is good about my Z10 and what I don't like, BGR opinion is paid for by the app launcher turlenecks in Cuppertino so there.. Anyway, any news when AT&T is gonna decide to cash in and set a date to sell these things in the U.S.?
Third spot of what?
the % of devices sold in the US in Q4 or the % of devices in active use in the US?
I am so glad the launch is going well here in Canada! I walked around the local mall here in Victoria late yesterday afternoon and all the cell shops had signs up out front announcing the Z10. I did not go in to any because I did not want to see a Z10 until I received mine today!
Canada Post dropped mine of 2 hours ago and other than not being able to activate it on Telus because of a computer reset on their end I am totally enjoying the Z10 experience. Doing everything wifi right now. I have spent countless hours watching videos of the Z10 here on CB and to actually hold one in my hand and see that amazing screen is really awesome. The videos do not do justice to just how beautiful this device is!
I just thought it was worth mentioning that if you buy this phone through an authorized reseller of Rogers as an example (WirelessWave, Uptown Wireless etc.), you have to pay $50 extra because thats the premium they charge apparently since they are dealers. That is only if you buy the phone outright. Buying it on contract is still the same but if you were buying it outright, then instead of the $650 you're gonna be paying $700. Just found that out - didn't stop me from getting the Z10 though! woooo
BlackBerry company says it is smashing its own sales records
I couldn't find a single unit anywhere.
Eway that's what I like to see for blackberry.
I'm glad BlackBerry is doing so well thus far. I'm just worried about the US adoption of the Z10 with this late release. Especially with the new Samsung Galaxy SIV being announced on March 15 with an April launch. If they can get more actual top app count solidified and in BlackBerry World by then I think they could still have a great US launch.
Once again, the New York Times goes out and LOOKS for one or two stores where there is no line and says, "See? What a failure!" just like the TWO people they used as the impetus behind their idi0tic "Are You Ashamed of Your BlackBerry?" story....knowing now that this is consistently the type of research they conduct, I'll never use NYT as a source for anything ever again. Might as well quote the National Enquirer or TMZ
Regina sold out, at most SaskTel stores. They're the province "playa", obviously a BlackBerry partner as well. All SaskTel employees who receive a company phone receive a BlackBerry. SaskTel used a BlackBerry device image on the cover of their last 2 phonebooks. The BB10 launch was a massive success. The US is not the "only market", but it sure seems like some people dictate unnecessary rubbish to the masses using the media and a lot of the media seem biased to US firms. I guess when an economy is approaching a "fiscal cliff", everybody involved bands together to try and retain some kind of grip.
in the time of your life, live so that in that good time, there should be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life that your life touches, seek goodness everywhere
" Sould out" ?? " Best day ever " ??
Z10 are being sold now mainly to fan boys. The real test will be in a few months. The Playbook was also doing very good just after launch but after a few weeks it was completely dead.
With the present collection of Apps the Z10 will probably end up the same.
You forgot to include "fan-girls" bra (cough), I mean bro. I see a lot of attractive power-women using BlackBerry, which is another great incentive to purchase a z10 for "fan-boys" and new users alike.
Sold, not sould. Use the 'edit button' man.
in the time of your life, live so that in that good time, there should be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life that your life touches, seek goodness everywhere
I am fortunate, because I don't care what the media lies about and pick my own items to consume using my ability to not be swayed by stupidity and ridiculousness. I should teach a course on "stick-to-it-ive-ness" (a word we made up at TELUS when I worked there back in the dizay). I have been vigorously defending the BlackBerry brand for the last several years, by choice too. It seems odd to me how many people can't be loyal to anything anymore and the amount of ios and android users who exhibit a brutal "kick them while they're down" attitude towards the inventor of the smartphone (and now super phone). What it does is show the true colors of many people. It sickens me. When I see the people who work for BlackBerry (and CrackBerry/mobile nations of course), it reminds me of my fellow teammates at another Canadian company, TELUS. I worked there when the shares dropped down to 6 dollars, people talked so much trash about the company, it was hard. People can be insidious and it shows in a lot of the BlackBerry related posts in here, as well as on Facebook, etc, etc... People need to grow up. I know I do too, lol, but at least I'm half way there.
Just sayin'
in the time of your life, live so that in that good time, there should be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life that your life touches, seek goodness everywhere
This is good news for BBRY but I'm starting to get frustrated by the lack of availability of phones. I have been to my Rogers store 3 times since launch (they are always out of stock). When I ask when their next shipment is coming in, all I get as a response is, "We're not sure, check again next week".
I don't allways post... But when I do... Jesus Christ!!! Thorstein is a F* GIGANT!!!
50% of what????
It occurs to me after watching this that Heins has done a great job of putting a public face on BlackBerry, unlike the head honchos at Apple, Microsoft, or Google. Seems like the only time we would see Jobs is during the initial product launch or possibly if he needed to chastise people about holding their phones incorrectly. In my opinion, Tim Cook has not done much to change the face of Apple as being cold & aloof. Microsoft & Google? No public face comes to mind with either of these companies. Heins comes across as being genuine & approachable. That speaks volumes about a company. I believe that will help contribute to the success of this launch.
I'm from Malaysia, I have ordered an unlock z10 from Canada and its on it's way now. Can't wait for it to launch in Malaysia. Paid abit on the high side but I'm sure it's worth it. Blackberry forever.

There are a few things that will make me love a game. Good graphics, robots, explosions and an easy-to-use interface. Battle Orb delivers on at least three of these fronts with one of the coolest ideas for a game I've seen. Remember the droidekas from the Star Wars prequels? What's that? You've blocked them from your memory? Well, they were robots that could fold up into balls and roll around a ship's hallways.
When it comes to insane, flashy, over-the-top launchers, two immediately come to mind: GO Launcher's Next and TSF Shell. They're both about as "cutting edge" as it gets, and have a price tag to match – Next is roughly $16, while TSF is closer to $17. Still, if you're a fan of the latter (or have been on the fence about picking it up), it just got a pretty sizable update that brings a new dock, "desktop menu buttons," and some other "amazing" new features:
Everyone's favorite mobile multiplayer FPS – Shadowgun: DeadZone – just got itself a pretty major update that brings several new features to the table. And by "several features" we actually mean "new guns, new maps, better friend support, and all sorts of other stuff." Here's a closer look at said stuff:
What's in this version:
➤ New 8 languages (Spanish,French,German,Italian,Russian,Chinese,Korean,Japanese)
➤ A brand new cool feature: BOOSTERS (Speed,Armor,Damage,Accuracy,Invisibility) and new Sentry Guns (Plasma,Rocket)
➤ Gold rewards for anyone who eliminates opponents with active Boosters
➤ New maps: Assembly, Warzone, Vortex, Train yard
➤ New deadly weapons
➤ Daily challenges and rewards
➤ Monitor the game stats of your friends
➤ Invite your friends to Zone Control mode
➤ Special Tutorial mode for rookies
All sorts of new hotness up in that apk, y'all.
You know what we just can't get enough of? Google Now cards. Today, the data giant updated its search app with a new real-time package tracking card (as opposed to the static "Your order has shipped" option before). In addition, regular old search results should be faster, which users on older devices are likely to love.
As a bonus, the app now provides quicker access to feedback and settings on the cards themselves.
Password and autofill sync - features that have been in testing in Chrome beta for Android since last month - have finally come to the stable release channel of Chrome for Android. The password sync option isn't appearing for me yet, though the Chrome Blog post on the update suggests it may take a few days for the new features to roll out to everyone.
The official Chrome Releases blog details the changes (well, as detailed as they usually are), below:
- Password Sync
- Autofill Sync
- Fixed issue where blank page would be loaded rather than URL
- Performance and stability improvements
The update also brings Chrome for Android up to Chrome release 26, basically bringing it to parity with the desktop version.
Thanks to its amazing anti-theft features – which are powered by what used to be Theft Aware – avast! has long been one of our favorite mobile security apps. That's not to say its malware prevention abilities aren't also a highlight of the application, because they are – in fact, it's an all around good package. And thanks to a new update that hit the Play Store just a bit ago, it's just got better.
You read it right - one of the most popular apps on Android, and long-time holo holdout Twitter, has finally updated its look. And it's nice.
The new 4.0 release has an all-new feel, and improved hashtag and mention support in the search and compose windows. You also now tap and hold on tweets to bring up the action menu (reply, retweet, favorite, share). Here's the full changelog from the Play Store:
Mozilla announced on its official blog this morning that it's teaming up with Samsung to create a brand-new mobile browser engine, dubbed Servo. Its aim is to power browsers for "tomorrow's faster, multi-core, heterogeneous computing architectures" - so the sell is that Servo will be built from the ground up to take advantage of increasingly capable mobile hardware.
Servo will be written in Rust, Mozilla's own programming language, which - surprise of surprises - has been designed to more readily take advantage of parallel computing.
Back in December, we noticed that a bunch of countries had been added to the list of supported areas for Google Maps Navigation. That list was promptly updated to remove most of them, but now it looks like they're (almost) all back and available for use right now, including Bulgaria, Lithuania, Slovakia and more.
Here are all the new countries that have been re-added to supported list:
- Bulgaria
- Estonia
- Ghana
- Ivory Coast
- Kenya
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Senegal
- Slovakia
Of those, we have independent confirmation from users in Bulgaria, Lithuania, Estonia, and Slovakia that turn-by-turn navigation is available as of right now, which leads us to believe that the entire list is legit.

You may have to pay people to use those.
It is not NCAA selection time yet, why do we care what ISU is ranked?
And to think, some of us got letters saying we would need to donate even more next year to keep our seats. I am guessing there is not going to be a lot of new demand for tickets.
We drank Ice House in college. Case of bottles was $8.99 at Cub Foods.
ISU is really lucky that tailgating is so awesome. That is what I am paying for anymore.
People are going to pay $750 per seat for those.... They wont be empty.
That was freaking AWESOME. I hate Auburn. Love to watch them just lay a total egg.
Rohach should be done at ISU. If Sam can get healthy, he is the starter, if not, start getting Lanning some experience.
Student section is only full 2 games a year yes. There were big 12 games towards the end of the season last year with 500+ open seats.
Best way to make Hilton better would be to get students to show up to more than just 2 games a year. Student section needs to be full every game.
According to cyclones.com he played in 4 games. I had to look it up because until today I had never heard of him.
Yeah I agree. Don't dog on me because I left at the half. My football tickets every year cost $2500 (the product is not worth that), and he then says he does not like to pay for tickets?
True, there will be more than enough seats open throughout the rest of the stadium for all the SEZ tickets.
Hombres. The old sign in the front is still on display at hickory park in the NW corner.
Today was the earliest I have ever left an ISU game. There were probably 38,000 at kickoff. I think everyone has given up.
Waiting till the sun comes up before tailgaiting. I am getting too old for cold games.
There is no need for a hologram or watermark anymore. You just need the barcode.
One of the luckiest few hundred guys on the planet.

A special note about this collection is that Big Bill Blues and Sings the Blues appear on CD for the first time!! Born in Mississippi in 1893 Big Bill Broonzy was one of the last of the great blues singers still alive and singing in the late 1950s and 1960s. Most of the greats had passed on or disappeared into obscurity after early recording careers has faltered way back in the 1920s and 1930s. In Big Bills own words Leroy Carr, hes gone, Big Maceo, hes gone, Jim Johnson, Ol Lead, theyre gone. If I dont sing the blues, who will? Maybe the blues will die someday. But Ill have to die first. Across these four classic albums you will hear why Big Bill Broonzy was considered to be one of the greatest blues singers of all time. Singing a cross section of his own songs and that of such legends as Leroy Carr, Bessie Smith, Gus Cannon and Richard Jones, Bill performs each in his own inimitable way with is own style of singing and his own unique brand of guitar playing!

Two dead in clashes between football fans in Colombia
Submitted by Keval Sharma on Wed, 09/30/2009 - 03:09
Bogota - Two Colombian football fans died in separate clashes with hooligans, officials said Tuesday.
Fans of clubs Deportes Tolima and Deportivo Cali clashed on a road in central Colombia on the way back from their teams' away matches. Some Cali hooligans chased three Tolima fans, and one of them fell down a ravine, said Colonel Israel Robayo, police commander in the province of Tolima. Several Cali fans were arrested.
Meanwhile, Bogota police said fans of local clubs Millonarios and Independiente Santa Fe clashed in a western neighbourhood of the city, and one of them was stabbed to death.
Colombian prosecutors also filed charges against four people who were charged with killing an Atletico Nacional fan over the weekend in the central Colombian province of Caldas. (dpa)

text: Brat Focuses on Unifying 'Mainstream American Principles We All Believe In' Print article Send a Tip by Michael Patrick Leahy 19 Jun 2014 post a comment In the first major press conference since his stunning primary victory over House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) on June 10, Virginia's 7th Congressional District Republican nominee Dave Brat focused on the unifying "mainstream American principles we all believe in." Speaking outside his Glenn Allen headquarters in suburban Richmond Thursday morning, Brat noted that his supporters, volunteers, and campaign staffers "are coming from all corners of the Republican party and beyond. We've got long-time Republicans of all stripes. We have Tea Partiers, independents, and libertarians on board." "This is precisely what this campaign is all about from the beginning. We're unifying all of these groups under one common set of principles," Brat said. He was referring to the principles he first announced months before his primary victory when every political expert and mainstream media pundit considered him the longest of long-shot challengers. "These principles, are in brief," Brat said, "first, a commitment to the free market system. Second, equal rights and equal justice for every single person in this nation under law. Third, fiscal responsibility for all levels of government. Fourth, adherence to Constitution of the United States of America to protect our liberties. Fifth, we believe peace is best preserved through a strong national defense. Sixth, and finally, we believe that faith in God as recognized by our founders is absolutely essential to the moral fiber of this greatest nation on the earth." "These six principles," Brat said, "are actually the six principles of the Republican Creed." Three of the six principles--constitutionally limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets--have been publicly identified as the core values of the Tea Party movement since its inception in 2009. "These principles are how we intend to unify the different parts of the Republican party and hopefully unify all people across the 7th Congressional District regardless of party. These are not just Republican principles," Brat emphasized, "these are mainstream American principles we all believe in." "That's why people from all stripes and backgrounds are uniting and joining us in this campaign," Brat said. Brat drew upon his professional training as a professor of economics to elaborate on those six principles. "Because I'm an economist," he said, "I'm especially focused on the economic principles in that creed. The people of the 7th district are tired of Washington dysfunction and an economy that continues to need serious help. We found that people are eager to send someone to Washington who has a comprehensive understanding of economics and actual solutions to help fix the economy." The themes of conservative populism that powered his primary victory were front and center at the press conference. "Health care costs under Obamacare continue to go up and up and up," Brat said. "Attempts to spend our way into prosperity have proven to be a dismal failure," he added. "These disappointments and other policy failures are contributing to an economy that is now in the ditch, and they're caused by Washington, not by you and me," Brat explained. "When we knocked on doors and spoke to thousands of people on the campaign trail... we heard loud and clear that folks across the 7th Congressional District demand term limits right now. And they're also demanding that crony capitalism end today," he stated, repeating the populist messages that helped drive his resounding primary victory over Eric Cantor. "I have a message of economic prosperity that I want to share with Central Virginia in the coming months," Brat said. "There's no mystery to this message," he added, "as most of it is laid out in the Republican Creed we just covered. I plan to cross this entire district and knock on thousands of additional doors and continue to spread this message." "That's how we won the primary and that's how we're going to win the election in November. But to win in November I need the support of all the people," Brat added. Brat also announced additions to his campaign staff that underscored his emphasis on unity. "[A]s we transition from a campaign that many ignored to one that seems to have captured the nation's attention," Brat noted that he has spent the last several days responding to "thousands of emails and phone calls we've received since last Tuesday." "Most of our people are right here from our region," Brat told the crowd, which included enthusiastic supporters as well as members of the press. His new campaign manager, Amanda Chase, Brat pointed out, served as Eric Cantor's political director during the 2010 campaign. Chase will take over the top operational spot from Zach Werrell, the 23-year old recent college graduate who served as Brat's campaign manager during the primary. Werrell will remain with the campaign throughout the general election campaign. "She has a heart for the grassroots," Brat said of Chase. Last week, Cantor announced that he will be voting for Brat in the November general election, where Brat faces his Randolph Macon College colleague, sociology professor Jack Trammell, who won the Democratic primary on June 10. "Now I've got to get to back to work," Brat said, closing the press conference. He took no questions from the press in attendance, which caught the attention of the mainstream media. A reporter for the local NBC affiliate who attended the press conference tweeted, "Dave Brat takes NO questions at latest news conference - new press secretary won't talk yet." Brat, who ran his primary campaign his way by focusing on general principles in a highly disciplined manner, appears determined to continue that approach in the general campaign. Mainstream media reporters may not like that approach, but so far, the voters of the 7th Congressional District seem to approve of it. ]s we transition from a campaign that many ignored to one that seems to have captured the nation's attention," Brat noted that he has spent the last several days responding to "thousands of emails and phone calls we've received since last Tuesday." "Most of our people," Brat told the crowd which included enthusiastic supporters as well as members of the press,"are right here from our region."

Crime in Dubai
Economic and sex related crimes in Dubai are on the rise but murder rates are down.
February 10, 2011 3:08 by Eva Fernandes
Here's what the stats are telling us:
Economic crimes on the rise: Apparently the number of such reported cases rose by 9 percent from last year: for while there were 461 economic-related crimes reported in 2009, 502 such crimes were reported in 2010. The anti-economic crime department at the general administration for criminal investigation (fancy name, though a heck of a mouthful, thinks Kipp) said it had arrested 752 people in such crimes in 2010 compared with 731 in 2009. Emirates 24|7 reports that Major Salah Buseiba said people in the UAE need to focus on becoming more secure with regards to usage of internet banking and credit card forgery.
Dubai sex-related crimes on the rise by 29 percent: According to The National, the number of sex-related crimes reported in Dubai rose a chunky 29 percent from 391 in 2009 to 504 in 2010. Police are concerned that the social stigma attached to contacting the police concerning such cases is a serious problem; perhaps the increase in reported crimes could indicate a change in such attitudes. But as Justin Thomas, a psychologist and assistant professor in department of natural science and public health at Zayed University, pointed out to The National, it is hard to say whether the increase is a result of more crimes or more crimes being reported.
Murders on the decline: We are sorry to be bringing you such depressing and gloomy news, but maybe this could redeem your mood: Apparently the number of murders in Dubai fell significantly last year, from 34 in 2009 to 23 in 2010, giving a percentage drop of an impressive 32 percent.
