In the early 1980s, just as a young kid from Gainesville named Rodney Mullen was turning heads skating for Walker, skateboarding hit a second bust. The newness of the sport's late-'70s innovations had worn off, and nothing had come along yet to reinvigorate skaters. Facing injuries and -- now being old enough to drive -- distractions, Gelfand dropped out of the sport completely in 1981. "If he had stayed longer and ridden out that five-year storm, he could have been a champion skater all the way through the '90s," says Michael Brooke, author of The Concrete Wave, a book on the history of skateboarding. But Gelfand, enthralled with his driver's license and his new Volkswagen Scirocco, bought with money he earned skateboarding, turned his attention to autocross, racing the Scirocco in the Florida state autocross championship in 1982. Then in 1983, a friend turned him on to go-cart racing; Gelfand won the Florida state go-cart championship that same year.
Meanwhile, deep in a recession, skate teams everywhere, including Walker's, began slashing budgets. Most skate parks closed in the early '80s, and the sport went underground, taking Mullen with it. In that economic climate, it was no longer feasible for Walker to fly skaters out to competitions in California. He had to downsize his manufacturing operations for his company to survive. "I knew that I couldn't afford to do for Rodney [Mullen] what [Powell Peralta] could do for him," Walker says. "So just like you would with your own child, you want to set up the best circumstances for them." Mullen had won over 30 first-place victories in three years' time and was already considered one of the world's top skaters in 1980, even before he turned pro. A dentist's kid whose father made him wear so much protective gear that his skate friends called him "the human pad," Mullen was a straight-A student who many today still consider to be the greatest technical skater ever. Called "the King of Freestyle" in Brooke's book, Mullen took Gelfand's ollie to the ground, creating more tricks than anyone cares to, or can, name.
By the time the sport became popular again in 1986, Mullen was a full-fledged star, even flying to Europe on the Concorde for a skateboarding demonstration. And he was skating for Powell Peralta's Bones Brigade, on the same team with a young, dynamic Tony Hawk -- arguably the most influential skateboarder ever. Hawk, a San Diego native, took Mullen's street-skating flair to the vertical ramp, twisting his board and his body into positions never thought possible. "I remember in about 1982 was the first time I saw Tony Hawk," Weir says. "He was the skinny little kid that showed up with Stacy Peralta, and when we saw him ride, we were all like, 'Oh no.' We knew he was going to be huge."
While the sport of skateboarding experienced its second fall and third rise, Gelfand found increasing success riding four much faster wheels. Eventually he worked his way up to Formula Four racing, which he describes as "mini Indy cars," finishing tenth in the nation in 1992. Satisfied, he stopped racing in 1993 and opened a Volkswagen repair shop in Hollywood. He would race again, driving a Porsche Boxster in 2000, but the expense of racing became too much for him to continue. So after Mike McGill sent him a ticket to an "Old School Skate Jam" in 2001, where lots of veteran skateboarding stars like himself were gathering, Gelfand turned his attention back to skateboarding. Forty pounds overweight and still plagued by the same knee problems that forced him to quit 20 years earlier, he cautiously eased his way back into the sport, hiring a personal trainer to help get back into shape. Today, minus those 40 pounds, he's lean and wiry, with short-cropped hair and the same fidgety mannerisms that earned him the nickname "Ollie" as a teenager.
A lot can change in 20 years. Besides dealing with his own age-based physical limitations, Gelfand has come back to a sport that bears little resemblance to the one he left. When he quit and the skate parks closed in the early '80s, Mullen and others adapted ollie-inspired vertical (or "vert") tricks to streets, curbs, and handrails, the only places still open to skaters. Then, when skateboarding died a third time in the early '90s, it was Tony Hawk who performed CPR. Hawk combined street technical proficiency with vert drama, creating a hybrid that mesmerized kids and adults, skateboarders and nonskateboarders, and, perhaps most important, TV producers. Extreme sports became popular, and Hawk-style skating epitomized the trend. Popularity for Hawk and his "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" game grew, and audience members at Hawk demonstrations became more specific. "Kids would yell, 'Do a 900!' at him," Weir says. "I heard Tony say that these kids want him to do things he can't even do in real life because in the video game he can. So he says he just does a 540 and they don't know the difference."
Skateboarders today split pretty clearly between vert and street, old and new, with a small but growing number of skaters practicing both. "The only vert guy making a lot of money is Tony Hawk," Transworld's Brittain says. "You go to a skate park now and the vert ramp is empty." But to the average observer, street-style skating, with its almost imperceptible nuances, is dull. The gravity-affirming board switches and "goofy" riding (when a skater who normally skates with his right foot leading leads with his left instead, or vice versa) are the athletic equivalent of key changes in music: technically proficient but boring to watch. Lay audiences aren't as impressed by munky flip-outs, nollie hardflips, crooked grinds, and darkslides as they are by a classic McTwist.

May 27, 2013
by Michelle
We have soo many ideas on our site and yet one of the most popular date nights for most couples is going out to eat. Today I'm not breaking from that mold. If the two of you are restaurant connoisseurs, this Big Bite Passport is for you!
I found this darling idea on Pinterest by The Spotted Fox, I love Pinterest!!! (Sadly, the website seems to be removed or I would send you on over to take a peek.) I loved the idea and decided, right then and there, that I needed to make one myself. With the help of Sameeha at The Inked Leaf Designs we came up with this Big Bite Passport, isn't it lovely?! If you haven't checked out The Inked Leaf Designs yet, you are missing out and you need to head on over and see all the adorable designs she's got! One warning, you will fall in love with her.
Big Bite Idea
It's time to get a little adventurous! The idea is that the two of you will spend an entire year trying out NEW, local, and yummy restaurants. You know that old and tired discussion, "Where are we going tonight?", well it's time you say goodbye to it!
To help you keep track of your favorite and least favorite spots, there is a rating system, 1 fork, 2 forks, and 3 forks. To keep track, simply glue one of the forks to the page on the designated spot, then you're on to the next restaurant.
So much fun to be had, right?!
Making your book is easy as pie and can be done in 4 quick steps.
1. Grab the Big Bite Printable. Print on White Card Stock
2. Cut out the pages and the rating system forks. Place your forks in a ziplock baggie somewhere you won't forget along with a glue stick, you'll need them after each dinner date.
3. Tie your book together, punch and slide a pretty ribbon through. Take a peek at the photo below this step. The front page says "Big Bite Passport", the second page says "Travel the Town One Bite At A Time", and the last page says "Keep Calm and Bite On" and faces away from all the pages (Kinda like a book end. When you turn your the book over you should be able to see "Keep Calm and Bite On")
4. On date night at your favorite restaurant fill out the pages with NEW restaurants you want to try and add their locations. If the two of you are running low on ideas, take a peek at Yelp or Urban Spoon for good recommendations in your area.
If you happen to live in UT or AZ here are some of my favorites ever…The Fry Bread House {AZ}, Tortilla Bar {UT}, Spencers For Steaks and Chops {UT}, The Original Pancake House {UT} and {AZ}, Arribas {AZ}, Black Sheep Cafe and I've heard so much good stuff about Republica Empanada {AZ}, they will be opening soon, and it's on our to do list! Check these places out, you will love them!
Still need some recommendations? We can all help each other by commenting on this post with a list of your favorite restaurants and where you live!
And voila your book is complete!
While you are out on the town you might want to step up your game a little and try out Tourist In Your Home Town, Mall Dare, and The Bookstore Date.
It's time to get adventurous!!! Ready, set, and go… tour and taste the town one bite at a time!
PS. What are your favorite places to stop in for a bite??? Don't forget to share them with us in the comments below!

A gold mine for local restaurants exists in Salt Lake City right across from Pioneer Park on 300 South. An old love of mine, Tony Caputo's, is an authentic Italian deli (and market). Right next to it is a french pastry shop…Mmm. Right in front of those two are Ekamai (best hole in the wall Thai food ever!) and Bruges Belgian waffles. All of them are SOO good.
My husband and I have been talking about making a food passport of sorts for awhile, so this is perfect! Now we can have a cute one, and maybe it will motivate us to start trying some of those restaurants. THANKS!
In AZ!
For authentic Mexican food: La Pinata in Phoenix on 19th Ave and Mulberry Dr (just South of Thomas).
Authentic pizza: Grimaldi's (several locations).
Some others:
Mellow Mushroom
PF Chang's
Jimmy and Joe's
Old Spaghetti's Company
Blue Fin
Pizzeria Bianco
We love food.
How exciting that Republica Empanada is mentioned! Happy to hear that good things are being said
Next week, the opening date will be announced on the Republica Empanada Facebook page!
Awesome idea.thank you! And I had eaten at Republica Empanada before and I absolutely loved it! can't wait till there grand opening and take my husband on a date.
Thank You so much for these great printables for all to enjoy for the great price of FREE 99!!

The Thermophysical Properties Division provides the best available measurements, theory, computations, and data evaluation for the thermophysical property information required to enable development of standards, enhance productivity, facilitate trade, ensure scientific and technological progress, and improve the quality of life.
The Thermophysical Properties Division (TPD) was formed at the beginning of 2008 by a reorganization which separated the old Physical and Chemical Properties Division into two entities with distinct focuses and each housed on one of the two main campuses of NIST. The TPD is a Division of the Material Measurement Laboratory located on the Boulder campus.
The Thermophysical Properties Division strives to be the foremost and best source of high quality thermophysical property information. This vision is driven by the ubiquitous importance of this information to commerce, industry, manufacturing, and national policy objectives. The Division meets its challenges through an integrated program of experimental measurement, data collection and evaluation, development of theoretically based models, and simulation of model systems. Among the outputs of the Division are computerized standard reference databases which synthesize thermophysical property information in forms which are conveniently used by our stakeholders.
The vast majority of commodity exchanges in chemicals, energy related fluids, and materials are based on physical and chemical properties. In some cases, national and international standards for these properties are needed, such as the AGA-8 equation of state for the properties of natural gas, ASME-IAPWS Properties of Water and Steam, ISO-Standard Equations for refrigerants. Generally these standards are presented in the form of high accuracy equations of state which allow determination of a wide range of thermodynamic properties. Additionally, performance criteria of working fluids, feedstock, chemicals, and cryogenic systems are inextricably linked to thermophysical properties, e.g. density, viscosity, boiling point, phase behavior, heat capacity, stability, etc. Engineering design, optimal operation, and innovation for engines, chemical manufacturing, power generation, heating and air conditioning, distillation, etc. depends critically on knowledge of these properties. Reliable properties data are critical to competitive advantage, sustainability, and innovation. Finally, we note that widespread reliance of industry on properties information, success in setting and achieving national energy, environmental, and security goals often requires an extensive and trustworthy properties information-base.
To meet the broad spectrum of needs, only briefly sketched above, the Division's work is structured along four synergistic themes:
These themes allow effective response to customer needs and are consistent with the Division's operating strategy to maintain a highly synergistic research program that includes an appropriate balance of measurement, theory, and predictive models. The combination of the Division's world class expertise and unrivaled resources in measurement, archiving, and provision of high-quality property data is complemented by its forefront research to develop reliable and highly adaptable methods for estimating property data in cases where measurements are unavailable or extremely difficult and/or costly to obtain.
Core Expertise
The expertise in the Division is broadly distributed within the fields of thermophysical properties and processes, emphasizing (1) data infrastructure and access; (2) predictive theory and models; and (3) experimental tools and measurements. More specifically, the Division maintains competence in data evaluation and dissemination; property models for industrial use; measurement of thermophysical properties; cryogenic technologies; separation technologies; fuel properties; and properties for environmental chemistry.
Key Interactions with Customers
Division outputs are routinely used in a variety of industrial, governmental, and academic settings. For instance, through a collaboration with Aspen Technology, evaluated data from the NIST Thermodynamic Data Engine are available to some 60,000 chemical plants world-wide. A consortium of chemical and related companies provides direct input to the data collection and evaluation programs of the Thermodynamic Research Center Group. The NIST REFPROP database was purchased by some 1200 customers in 2008, and all cryogenic flow meters in the U.S. are tied to the Division's calibration and testing services. The Division houses the editorial offices of the International Journal of Thermophysics (and provides an editor of the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data) and organizes the triennial Symposium on Thermophysical Properties to maintain connections.
Sponsored research in the Division also provides direct links to key customers: work with DOD (primarily the Air Force) is important to our fuels program; DHS funds some of our work on properties and data for explosives; DARPA works with the Division in its micro-cryocooler project; DOE is engaged in our properties work related to advanced power generation and in gas hydrates data.
Future Directions and Plans
The National challenges related to energy security and monitoring/mitigating anthropogenic climate (or other environmental) changes are reflected in the Division's plans. The Division recently held workshops on property needs for biofuels and aerospace fuels: alternative fuels and feedstocks will command an increased emphasis in the future.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it is taking two actions to enhance the Agency's ongoing efforts to address drug shortages.
First, the FDA released a "Strategic Plan for Preventing and Mitigating Drug Shortages," which was required under Title X of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA). In March 2013, ASA formally submitted recommendations to the FDA on the Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan recognizes ASA's ongoing work with the FDA on drug shortages and states that the FDA will "join with other stakeholder groups, such as groups convened by the American Society of Anesthesiologists…" to develop long-term prevention strategies on shortages.
Second, the FDA issued a proposed rule requiring that manufacturers of certain drugs notify the FDA of a permanent discontinuance or a temporary interruption in manufacturing that is likely to disrupt supply. This proposed rule implements the early notification requirements in FDASIA. ASA actively lobbied to ensure that the early notification requirements applied to drugs used "during surgery" and in the "treatment of a debilitating disease or condition," which includes anesthesia and pain medications.
ASA's advocacy, alongside other key stakeholders, resulted in passage of the drug shortage provisions in FDASIA. In May 2012 at the ASA Legislative Conference "Lobbying Day," more than 500 anesthesiologists visited Capitol Hill urging support for drug shortage relief and highlighting the significant impact drug shortages have on the practice of anesthesia.
Since the passage of FDASIA, ASA has continued to work closely with the FDA to address drug shortages.
ASA is currently reviewing the Strategic Plan and the proposed rule.

|Why Fairtrade isn't fair
Peter Griffiths The Economist's tale motivational inspirational speaker consultancy provoking change extreme interviewing
|Home Page
'Ethical Objections to Fairtrade' is based on the knowledge that if aid is diverted from the poorest and most needy, it causes death and destitution. This paper shows the damage Fairtrade does to the vast majority of farmers, those who do not belong to Fairtrade. It also shows that most of the extra money that charitable people pay for Fairtrade never gets to the intended recipients. There are no impact studies showing that Fairtrade farmers in general benefit, let along other farmers. Much of the trade is a criminal offence under EU law. Published in the Journal of Business Ethics
Fairtrade Comment. Generous consumers pay £1 billion a year extra for Fairtrade products. Nearly all this extra money is pocketed by firms in the rich countries. Most of what is left is spent on extra operating costs incurred in producing Fairtrade, and some Fairtrade cooperatives make a loss from their Fairtrade membership. Any money left over is spent on social products which may have no economic impact. The farmers do not receive a higher price for Fairtrade and may receive a lower price. Their costs when producing Fairtrade are, however, higher, so their net income is lower. All these established facts contradict the assumptions in the recent paper by Tedeschi and Carlson, so their argument is incorrect. Published in the Journal of International Development
BBC World Business Report My criticisms lead. Fairtrade Foundation UK will not appear on a platform with me because I produce hard research evidence. So they got someone from the Netherlands. Note that he does not give figures for extra amount paid by consumers, amount going to the Third World, or any extra amount paid to farmers. Nor does he suggest that there is any impact study meeting the standards of the development agencies (there are not). And he does not mention that the Chief Executive of Fairtrade International, as well as researchers have said that the auditing and monitoring of the system is woeful.
'Lack of Rigour in Defending Fairtrade' (published in Economic Affairs) shows some of the mistakes and lack of logic of the Fairtrade proponents, using the example of Alastair Smith.
Rejoinder: False Statements, Misrepresentation and Distortion in Defending Fairtrade, (summarized in Economic Affairs) shows some of the very poor scholarship that sometimes appears.
Refutation: Does Fair Trade deliver on its Core Value Proposition? shows some more very poor scholarship, by Arnould, Plastina and Ball (2009).

Oh happy day!!!! happy happy day! You guys, you don't know how freaking excited I am to finally share this stylized shoot I created last July. Yup, you heard me girl…last July. Now everyone who knows me knows that I am not they type that can keep secrets but I had to keep this little beauty on the down low for a while because it was getting published in one of my favorite magazines…Blush Wedding Magazine! But now that it's finally in stores I can show you all of the gorgeous details!!! eeeeeek. I am actually jumping up and down as I write this so I am positive there will be a bunch of grammatical errors :p Okay so first things first I'll give you the story behind this particular shoot. When I first started dreaming of this shoot, I had envisioned red brick everywhere and a ballerina esq bride. I knew that I needed a gorgeous dress that made a major statement so I asked my two favorite gals Ashley & Nicole at Delica Bridal what would work best…that was when they introduced to me to Lazaro! It was pretty much love at first sight :) Now that the fashion aspect of the shoot was dealt with I had to get the hair & makeup down :) I had the amazingly talented Jenn Chivers in charge of hair and my gorgeous gal pal/makeup extraordinaire Kaitlin Mooney in charge of makeup. I wanted the look of everything to be very ethereal & subdued. I didn't have a set theme of colors instead I choose to have everything in soft hues of ivory, lace & blush pink. I was lucky enough to have an amazing team of vendors help me bring my vision to life. I was also incredibly blessed to have one of my best friends Tegan Martin-Drysdale behind the lens to capture all of the prettiness…she is honestly one of the most talented photographers I have ever met and she knew exactly what my vision was….so without further ado I will finally shut up and let the pictures speak for themselves! Hope you guys love this as much I do xoxo

I by Aiisha Fashion Show in Paris
"For the Grammy Awards, most celebrities opted for flashy and statement pieces while Ukrainian pop artist Mika Newton opted for beautiful!", that was one of many comments from the many press putting Mika on the "Best Dressed" list and even "Sexiest stars of the night" wearing an AIISHA custom-made Couture lace gown.
This is Mika's second "White" look wearing AIISHA after last years Golden Globes sensational look. The thing about "white" is that its best worn on red carpets and events where you don't have to worry about competing with a bride. It also suits all skin tones, with the right makeup and accessories, or else most women wouldn't wear white gowns on their wedding dresses!
You can keep up with Mika's latest news on Twitter @MikaNewton
Thank you Mika for choosing Aiisha!
For her 3rd look wearing AIISHA, Raya Abirached wore an AIISHA velvet silk fitted dress with gold and black Swarovski Elements crystal chains for the SAG Awards. I have to say that she makes classic black look mysteriously beautiful.
For the SAG Awards, Raya went with straight hair and minimum accessories keeping her signature look of "less is more". Fans on Twitter went crazy over this look just like they did over her Golden Globes one (previous post).
To know more about Raya, click here or visit her Twitter page.
Raya, among many things, you represent nature, great attitude, elegance.. you represent beauty in all its forms. Thank you.
Today I celebrate my 30th birthday.
Little did I know that at 30 I'll be having a life full of challenges, happiness and success.
Its a formula that each and every one of this email's readers has participated in. Thank you.
My first received gift was seeing Raya Abirached wearing AIISHA last night at the Golden Globes 2013. The dress witnessed a major public affection as I sat down last night reading all the tweets.
Raya wore a Couture champagne silk dress with a 3D beaded shoulder and looked like a Golden Globes winner herself. She was breath taking, magical and simply stunning!
Raya Abirached is the Middle East's sweetheart ambassador with her TV program Scoop and Arab's Got Talent. You can follow Raya on twitter @Rayascoop
Thank you Raya for choosing AIISHA!
Amara Miller was spotted in Aiisha a few weekends back at the SAG Awards!
Amara Miller is a young actress who was in the 2011 nominated movie "The
Descendants" with stars including George Clooney, Shailene Woodley and many
Pictured here with Angelina Jolie and Modern Family's Ariel Winter. The dress looks great on her and it just makes me so happy to dress all females, all ages!
Love you Amara!

Re-evaluation is performed by a service running on a separate thread that processes elements requiring re-evaluation at regular intervals.
When a change triggers re-evaluation, the elements affected are added to a table in the database and processed in order by the re-evaluation service the next time it runs. If automatic re-evaluation is disabled, elements are still added to the database table but they are flagged to be ignored by the re-evaluation service until a user manually requests re-evaluation by clicking the Re-evaluate button on the Results page.
Once an element has been processed by the service, it is removed from the table.
The Competency Service Jobs page lists the elements in the database table. You can monitor whether the service is running by checking whether items are being removed from the list.
Note The list is not updated automatically. To update the list, click Refresh.
If you have automatic re-evaluation enabled, the oldest items on the list is the first to be processed; if these items are not removed after a suitable interval (normally the service runs at five-minute intervals), then the service might not be running.

(upwave.com) -- I'm a huge fan of the Olympic Games, especially the Winter Olympic Games. I love watching the figure skating, bobsled and skeleton. And the Alpine skiing events... it's hard not to be in awe watching the skiers fly down the mountainside at such high speeds.
The only thing I don't like about the Olympics is that it keeps me glued to the television for a good two weeks, because yes, I'm a junkie. And while I'm on the couch vegging out, the athletes I'm watching are burning some serious calories.
upwave: How to exercise like a Winter Olympian
How many calories do you think Winter Olympic athletes burn? Read on to find out.
Figure skating
Figure skating is a beautiful test of balance and coordination. Team USA figure skaters Gracie Gold, Ashley Wagner and Polina Edmunds will take the ice for two performances during the 2014 Sochi Olympics -- each completing a two-minute, 50-second short program and a four-minute free skate.
But the three women will have put in hours and hours to perfect their programs, which contain numerous triple axels, spins, salchows and other difficult moves. On average, they will likely burn more than 500 calories an hour -- even if they spend some of their practice time simply falling down and getting back up. (Hey, it happens. They're on ice, after all.)
upwave: How to get a figure skater's flexibility
Downhill skiing/Super G
Downhill skiing is about having the quad and low-back strength to hold a tuck position or an edge while skiing downhill extremely fast. Lovers of the sport were disappointed when fan favorite Lindsey Vonn had to pull out of Sochi due to a serious injury to her right knee. She leaves a big hole on Team USA, as she would have been defending her Olympic gold medal in the downhill. That said, Vonn's teammates continue to train vigorously and can count on burning around 300 to 450 calories an hour.

Speed skating
When it comes to winter sports, it's hard to beat speed skating when it comes to burning calories. To be an Olympic-level athlete, you have to be strong -- and super fast -- which requires a lot of training. Athletes can expect to burn about 600 calories per hour.
One of the more unique Olympic sports, the biathlon is based on a Norwegian military exercise, which explains why it combines long-distance cross-country skiing with target shooting. Cross-country skiing is one of the best outdoor exercises for cold weather, and the men and women who participate burn some serious calories every time they train or compete -- 500 to 700 per hour.
upwave: Best outdoor exercises for cold weather
Ice hockey
You can bet the players on the 2014 Olympic men and women's ice hockey teams are going to battle hard for a chance to walk away with a medal. And they'll be getting a serious workout while they fight it out on the rink, too: They'll each burn 450 to 750 calories for every hour they play. If that's not gold-medal worthy, we don't know what is!

I have always been curious as to how any given credit card company feels about you transfering a balance off of their card. When the payment from credit card company A goes to the credit card company B (with the balance that is being transfered), does credit card company B see it is some "special" transfer payment or do they see it as a traditional payment?
Is there anything negative that card company B would notate regarding transfering a balance that could prevent future CLIs or product upgrades? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I have always wondered the same thing myself. That's why when I did a balance transfer on my Citi card
I chose the option for a check made out to myself and just deposited it and paid the cards through my account.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Doubletree Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay
Doubletree Grand Needs updatingfrom CajunTravler913
I was told that this hotel has just been renovated and I can tell you that from what I saw it was not. It needs to be better maintained.
No self parking, valet is $24 per day.
Complimentary Internet in rooms. No wireless internet.
Lots of Construction around the hotel.
Great facilitiesfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Our room was huge with air-conditioning, a balcony, room safe and a huge TV. However, the shower was disappointing as it was very underpowered and had a poor spray head - it was difficult to get wet enough to clean yourself!
The hotel was not quite a centrally located as we had expected but this was not a problem as it has a couple of restaurants and bars attached, and even a small shopping mall!
What made this hotel fantastic was the rooftop pool and jacuzzi on the 10th floor, both of which are huge, clean and a great place to relax. Although you are in the middle of a huge city, the pool area was a haven away from the busy streets below.
The hotel also has what appeared to be excellent facilities for guests that use a wheelchair, including an automated lift into and out of the pool.
Overall, a very comfortable hotel, with good facilities, a great view and warm cookies on arrival!
Great Hotelfrom parisqueen04
I was about five minutes in my room when the front desk call to verify if the accomodations were to our satisfaction. I had a standard room with a partial city and bay view. The room was spacious, never feeling cramped and had a fantastic marble bath room. The comfort of the bed was the best. A pillow top mattress with a goose down duvet and plenty of pillows to spare. The pool is also great, almost olympic size with views of the bay and cruise ships that are in port. I did not eat at the hotel's restaurant but did try their deli which by the way is delicious.
There are a couple of glitches about the property location and my room. I did not have a balcony nor did I request one. My problem was no means of air ventilation from the outside. There was a sliding door (that does not open) and what seems to be some what of a balcony-but not really. I notice the door was constructed to be maintained permanently locked. Of course I had air conditioning but still cared for the evening breeze. With regards to the hotel location, it is located in the financial district. One would assume there were be a few good restaurants around but not so. The closest thing is a Burger King a couple of blocks away which I don't recommend going there at night. Your best bet is to eat in the hotel restaurant or deli.
Great!from tee2giddy
Not for business travellersfrom projecth
Omni was decent overallfrom sandsurfer
We only tried one of the restaurants which was the Deli when you first enter the hotel. The food was ok but we thought the bartender was fantastic! He told us about the various attractions that were close by the hotel and the best way to get our group to and from.
Again, a decent hotel with great potential.
Typical Doubletreefrom chicagotravelgirl
Disappointingfrom MWT999
The decor is tired, and cleaning standards are not too great.
We usually stay near the beach, but wanted to be near Bayside on this visit. From a location perspective the hotel worked, you can get the free metrorail to Bayside, but if staying in the area again I would try somewhere else.
Loved Doubletre Grandfrom forwill17
Our room had a fantastic view of the marina and the meals from room service were filling due to the large portions and very tasty.
Doubletree Grand Was Grand - Perfect Pre-Cruise Stay!from IveBeenEverywhereUSA
The beds were very comfortable with exceptionally nice linens and duvets. The room was quiet, the staff was friendly and helpful. The warm cookies when you check in is a nice touch that Doubletree has. Because we came to the hotel directly from the airport via taxi and didn't leave the hotel complex until noon the next day when it was time to head to the Port to embark on a cruise, we had time to explore the complex. The hotel is part of a complex that houses condos on the upper floors, shops, restaurants, offices and a marina. The hotel rooms are on the lower floors, but they are still high enough to afford a great view of Biscayne Bay.
We bought gourmet take-out food from the Deli in the hotel complex and the food was excellent and reasonably priced for the size of the portions. We took the food back to our room, but there was a seating area if you wanted to eat at the Deli. The back part of the Deli doubles as a convenience store for the residents of the condos upstairs and so they carry a little bit of everything. A full liquor store was available, too, if that's important to you. There was a good variety of other full service restaurants in the hotel complex, as well.
The pool was large and warm, and located on a terrace several floors up from the noise of the street. The clover-shaped hot tub was huge. Palms and tropical flowers around the pool gave it a tropical feel. One of the nicest hotel pools I have ever seen.
The gift shops in the hotel complex had an interesting variety and some really lovely things.
Now for things that were not perfect - the TV remote didn't work - it probably needed the batteries replaced. I could have called to see what they could do about it, but I didn't - we were only staying one night and it just wasn't a big deal. The other thing was that the marble bathroom had a bidet. My 13 year old daughter was enthralled, and wanted to try it, as she had not seen one before. The water just trickled out, no water pressure, perhaps because it isn't used by many visitors. Oh, and a word of warning - the pigeons are shameless beggars, and when my daughter took her pizza out on the balcony to eat, they were pretty brazen.
This was a wonderful pre-cruise stay, and a great start to our vacation. I would absolutely stay here again. I booked this hotel directly on the Hilton/Doubletree website and got an internet rate that was well below what other sites were advertising. I also got exactly the room I had reserved, too. This hotel would also be a good place to stay for travelers with business in downtown Miami, as it is located about 1 mile north of downtown. We paid about $10 extra I think for the bay view room, and I think it was well worth it. The rooms that face the bay are a bit far from the elevator, though, so if walking a little is a problem, you might want to consider a room with a view of the pool or downtown instead.
Top Local Tips for Miami
Stay in Ft. Lauderdale Hampton Inn! We went the night before a cruise expecting a great kick off to a great vacation and we were so disapointed. I wished we would have stayed at the Hampton Inn in Ft. Lauderdale and took a limo to the port of Miami. Would have saved us about 100 bucks, a huge headache, and a lot of frustration. If you really want the cookie, go buy one at their resturants for about 2.00 each.
Emerils South Beach Restaurant Emerils South Beach - Yum, huge portions, hearty food. Especially enjoyed the appetizers of shrimp bisque and braised short ribs on grits.
Millionaire Row Cruise It is very nice cruise with purchased snacks and drinks. The staff is very nice.It is only 90 minutes and a very nice family outing.Be sure to take plenty of pictures because the scenery is beautiful.

Sandia has developed a microfabricated source array for controlled release of pairs of marker compounds into the analytical streams of microsensor systems to obtain calibrations of analyte separation (when appropriate) and mass response of the sensor.
Networked systems of low-cost, small, integrable chemical sensors will enable monitoring of Nonproliferation and Materials Control targets and chemical weapons threats. Sandia-designed prototype chemical sensor systems are undergoing extended field testing supported by DOE and other government agencies. A required surety component will be verification of microanalytical system performance, which can be achieved by providing a programmable source of chemical signature(s) for autonomous calibration of analytical systems. To address these needs, Sandia has developed a microfabricated source array for controlled release of pairs of marker compounds into the analytical streams of microsensor systems to obtain calibrations of analyte separation (when appropriate) and mass response of the sensor.
Sandia has developed small, potentially low-cost chemical sensors and sensor systems for Nonproliferation and Materials Control applications and for monitoring of chemical weapons threats. The most advanced of these systems is the MicroChemLab. Our experience with the Department of Energy (DOE) sponsored nonproliferation programs and with the current accelerated needs of Homeland Defense programs clearly indicate a need for reliable, low cost, flexible, and potentially autonomous systems for field calibration and performance verification of such chemical sensors. These sensors can also be adapted for human health monitoring, detecting marker compounds or drug metabolites in human breath, urine, and blood.
Field application of chemical sensors to these challenges requires that all necessary components for sensor calibration and performance verification be integrated within the sensor package. We therefore developed a prototype chemical delivery source, based on arrays of individually addressable, microfabricated, thermal elements. This approach has the potential to provide a small, rugged, lightweight, readily manufacturable, and inexpensive source capable of delivering appropriate masses of volatile organic or other compounds for sensor calibrations in the field.
The microcalibration array is fabricated in silicon using a deep reactive ionization etch (DRIE) process or wet KOH etching. A 1-micron thick silicon nitride layer sits on top of the 400 micron wafer and serves as an etch stop and as the thermally isolating micro-hotplate membranes. A number of solid-phase, thermally activated chemistries can be placed on the micro-hotplate membranes using drop-coating, spray coating, or other methods. Producible in quantity, the microcalibration source array is envisioned as an extremely low-cost consumable, with replacement required after the contents of the solid-phase reservoirs are exhausted.
The picture below shows a prototype device with a 2x5 array of elements. The dimensions of the die are 1.6 x 1.6 cm, and each element measures 2.2 mm on a side. A device of 1 square mm elements has also been fabricated. Each element incorporates a resistive metal heater and a separate thermistor for independent temperature measurement and feedback control, if desired. Input bond pads are located along the outside edges of the device, with common ground pads for the heater and measurement circuits. When individually energized with a predetermined voltage, each hotplate element ramps to 250° C within 20 msec.
|2x5 prototype array
With application to gas chromatography in mind, we determined the best calibration compounds for this system. Thermal decomposition of tetraalkyl ammonium hydroxide salts form the corresponding trialkyl amines and alkenes in the gas phase. These products are useful calibrant compounds for nonproliferation and industrial gas monitoring applications, respectively. They also have several advantages as solid-phase calibrant gas-generating sources. The salts are easily deposited from aqueous or mixed water-alcohol solutions, and have long-term stability at environmental temperatures. The alcohol or water solvents can be rapidly air-dried. Rapid heating of the micro-hotplate causes complete thermal disproportionation of the solid salt, resulting in controlled generation of two calibration compounds in the gas phase. An example system of tetrapropyl ammonium hydroxide is shown here:
(C3 H7 ) 4N+ OH- (s) → (C3 H7 )3N (g) + CH2 CHCH3(g) + H2O (g)
For gas chromatography, the propene acts as a fast-eluting marker while the tripropyl amine acts as a slow-eluting marker. This controlled reaction will be a key capability in future temperature-programmed micro-GC systems, since the pair of marker compounds can provide a measure of retention index at two points in the chromatogram. The compounds also provide a mass calibration of the sensor.
|Tetrapropyl ammonium hydroxid
To characterize the performance of the microcalibrators, each device was secured to a silicon gas manifold through a stainless steel gasket. The manifold provided carrier gas from a single inlet port to each array element individually, then merged the streams to a single outlet without passing calibration compounds over other elements. While epoxy held this stack together for testing purposes, the design is amenable to all-silicon fabrication.
|2x5 array on device manifold
Chromatography peaks from all ten elements of a single device are shown in the picture below. The relative standard deviations are 0.5% for peak area (mass), 1.0% for peak height, and 0.1% for retention time.
|Chromatographic peaks
The retention times of several trialkylamines under typical chromatographic conditions are shown in Table 1 . The appropriate one(s) can be selected based on retention time similarity to the target analytes of the pressing application.
Table 1. GC retention times of tetraalkyl ammonium hydroxide decomposition products.
|Retention Time
|0.63 min.
|triethyl amine
|1.04 min.
|tripropyl amine
|1.91 min.
|tributyl amine
|7.8 min.
Several other applications can take advantage of the multi-element hotplate format. Extending this capability, varying chemicals can be placed on the elements for different applications. Controlled dispensing of derivatization reagents in microaliquots can be used to advantageously react with specific analytes, extending the analysis capability of chemical analysis systems to otherwise inaccessible targets. Elements on the array can also be coated with borohydrides, which release hydrogen gas upon heating. Use for on-demand hydrogen generation is currently under development as a source of high-pressure, low viscosity GC carrier gas for Sandia's next-generation microfabricated gas-phase chemical analysis systems.

In this May 9, 2012 photo shows actress Lindsay Lohan at the A&E Networks 2012 Upfront at Lincoln Center in New York. Lohan will star as Elizabeth Taylor in the upcoming Lifetime TV movie "Liz & Dick." (AP Photo/Starpix, Kristina Bumphrey, file)
Updated: July 17, 2012 12:43PM
LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan continued to bring drama to the production of her latest film, receiving treatment for exhaustion and dehydration a week after she was involved in a car crash that sent her to the hospital.
Lohan's publicist Steve Honig says producers of the Lifetime film "Liz and Dick" summoned paramedics to Lohan's hotel room Friday morning after she did not respond for a shoot. The incident occurred after the actress completed an all-night shoot and had kept up a grueling schedule in recent days, Honig said.
The actress was not transported to the hospital and will likely return to the set of the film Friday afternoon. The film focuses on the love affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
Lifetime declined comment. And it was unclear whether the incident led to any delay in the film's production.
Fire officials confirmed they were summoned to a hotel in Marina del Rey on Friday morning around 10:15 a.m., but said they did not transport anyone to the hospital. They also said they could not identify the patient.
The incident is the latest scare for Lohan, who was involved in a car crash June 8 that sent her and her assistant to a hospital. The pair were on the way to a "Liz and Dick" shoot when the Porsche they were in collided with a dump truck on the Pacific Coast Highway. Neither was seriously injured and Lohan resumed shooting later in the day.
The accident remains under investigation and police have said they are still trying to determine who was driving.
Lohan, 25, remains on informal probation for taking a necklace last year from a jewelry store without permission. She is not required to check in with a judge or probation officer, but could face a jail term if she is re-arrested.

|Web-based applications like NoteVault allow construction supervisors to conduct field reporting, including RFIs, change orders, and safety inspections, using their mobile phones. The service records, transcribes, and stores all voice mails to help avoid or resolve disputes.
|Palmtops, laptops, and tablet PCs are all great tools for processing project information. But no matter the speed of the microprocessor inside or the quality of the screen outside, the ultra-fast pace of today's fast-track projects often doesn't allow key people the time to work with any device more complicated than a cell phone. That's why the growth of voice messaging, dictating, and documentation services for cell phones is of great interest to Building Team members.
One of the first systems to offer these features was SkyLog, launched nearly a decade ago by Pacific DataVision (PDV), Clifton, N.J. At the time, Peter Lasensky, owner of a construction company in San Diego, was trying to collect a bad debt based on some oral change orders from a customer. Without adequate written records or other documentation, Lasensky found he couldn't collect. So he invented a way to store oral messages in case he ever got burned again.
With SkyLog, you talk into a Nextel push-to-talk phone and the system saves your message on a website as a digital file. The file can then be emailed as is or transcribed and sent. SkyLog allows you to record RFIs, change orders, safety inspection notes, and other crucial project details. SkyLog's time and date stamp on all voice messages provides verification by a third party to help avoid or quickly resolve disputes. The only problem was that PDV was only available in southern California.
In 2003, PDV partnered with Nextel to roll out a nationwide version called NextMail. Both systems have enjoyed success, even expanding into other markets such as healthcare, real estate, and transportation. But many users needed a system that worked with other phone systems besides Nextel.
PDV then developed SkyMail, which works across all major U.S. cellular carriers. With SkyMail, the recipient gets an email containing a link to the voice message and a text reply box, which allows the recipient to reply with a text message delivered directly to the sender's phone. All SkyMail messages are time-and-date stamped for documentation and stored on a secure password-protected website for tracking and record-keeping purposes.
Both NextMail and SkyMail allow professionals to record, document, and share critical information from the field with office personnel via e-mail. With both systems, you don't have to purchase additional software. SkyMail is just another phone call, and NextMail is just another walkie-talkie call. After scrolling down the phone's contact list, you simply select a contact, press the button, speak the message, and hang up. The voice documentation is sent automatically.
Enhanced functions. PDV has expanded SkyMail to include a locator function. Now you can enhance a SkyMail message by attaching an interactive map, the location coordinates, and the street address of your position. Maps are provided by Navteq, a Chicago-based firm that creates digital map information for automotive navigation systems, mobile navigation devices, Internet-based mapping applications, and government and business solutions throughout the world.
In June, Locator earned runner-up honors in the Navteq Global LBS Challenge (Asia-Pacific Region), a competition that invites application developers around the world to build location-based services (LBS) that work with mobile phones or wireless handheld devices using dynamic positioning technology and Navteq maps. The award earned PDV $157,500 in cash and licenses.
New kid on the block. Just last month, PDV founder Lasensky launched a new company called NoteVault that competes with PDV. Similar to SkyMail but targeted specifically to the construction industry, NoteVault improves the collection and dissemination of field-reported information by allowing field workers to do their reporting from their mobile phones.

Essential Oils for Anxiety
The following are Jaime's favourite oils for anxiety...
- Balance is highly recommended for anxiety (and is actually, my favourite blend -- it smells exactly like being in a spruce forest). Balance is an amazing blend that is very grounding and helpful for recovering balance inside and outside the body. Anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, calming, soothing to the nerves, supports pancreas in processing sugar and carbs, pain relief to muscles and coordination enhancer. Apply Balance on the back of the neck, over the heart in a clockwise motion and on the wrists and rub wrists together and inhale.
- Wild orange, bergamot, lime -- all give a calm sense of well being and are uplifting to the mood. Jaime uses wild orange and Balance every night on her daughter's feet.
- Lavender - calming
- Frankincense - brain tonic, neurotonic, mind clearing, awareness, uplifts spirit, restores DNA and RNA
- InTune - blend of essential oils selected for their ability to enhance focus and support healthy thought processes. Take InTune (which comes in a roll-on botttle) and roll it up on each side of the spine or zig zag up the middle of the back then massage it in. Put a dot behind each ear at the base of the skull and massage in. Then, roll it up the neck. Massage in.
- All the above oils can be applied on the bottom of the feet, or behind the ears, if tolerated.
- If the scent bothers your child, you can put the oils on the feet and then put socks on so that the smell isn't as strong, or put them on after your child is asleep.
Stephanie's essential oil blend for anxiety
Stephanie from Family Health Naturally found the following blend to be very helpful for helping her son's anxiety. Her son also has Asperger's syndrome.
1-2 drops each of Balance, Lavender, Elevation, and Wild Orange
In her son's case, she found that Balance and Lavender wasn't enough. Adding Elevation and Wild Orange to the mix was exactly what her son needed. You can layer these oils on your child's feet.
- Lemon, Serenity, Aromatouch, Elevation, Breathe, ylang ylang, melissa, sandalwood, Citrus Bliss, geranium, clary sage, rose, basil, cypress, marjoram.
- The Aromatouch Technique can be used to help reduce anxiety and with sensory issues.
- The AromaTouch oils include: balance, lavender, melaleuca, on guard, aromatouch, deep blue, wild orange, peppermint. Jaime skips the Deep Blue and peppermint if it is night time because they can make you cold.
- You drop each oil by itself up the spine, 3 drops about for kids more for adults and then rub it in the whole length of the spine. There is a whole technique with each oil (which you can learn by purchasing the AromaTouch Technique Kit, or purchasing the instructional dvd separately) and it is amazing what it does for the nervous system. Jaime's kids are both so relaxed after. Also will help with sensory issues.
- This website shows acupressure points for relieving anxiety. These points are great points to put the oils on, as well as good points to help to help calm someone feeling anxious.
- Points (A) -- Heavenly Pillar
Location: One finger width below the base of the skull on the ropy muscles one-half inch outward from the spine. Benefits: Relieves stress, over exhaustion, insomnia, heaviness in the head, eyestrain, stiff necks, swollen eyes, and sore throats.
- Points (B) -- Heavenly Rejuvenation
Location: On the shoulders, midway between the base of the neck and the outside of the shoulders, one-half inch below the top of the shoulders. Benefits: Relieves nervous tension and stiff necks; increases resistance to colds and flu. It is also good for the lungs.
- Points (C) -- Crooked Marsh-- on both side of arm
Location: On the inside of the arm at the lower end of the elbow crease when the arm is bent. Benefits: Relieves nervous stomach, anxiety, arm pain, elbow pain, and chest discomfort.
- Points (D) -- Inner Gate-- on both side of arm
Location: In the middle of the inner side of the forearm two and one-half finger widths from the wrist crease. Benefits: Relieves nausea, anxiety, palpitations, and wrist pain.
- Points (E) -- Spirit Gate-- on both side of arm
Location: On the little finger side of the forearm at the crease of the wrist. Benefits: Relieves emotional imbalances, fear, nervousness, anxiety, and forgetfulness.
- Points (F) -- Third Eye Point
Location: Directly between the eyebrows, in the indentation where the bridge of the nose meets the forehead. Benefits: Calms the body to relieve nervousness.
- Points (G) -- Sea of Tranquility
Location: On the center of the breastbone, three thumb widths up from the base of the bone. Benefits: Relieves nervousness, anxiety, chest tension, anguish, depression, hysteria, and other emotional imbalances.
- Magnesium citrate was a big help with Jaime's daughter's anxiety. Magnesium will calm, help bowel movements and relax muscles and is also great for anxiety. A magnesium deficiency can cause anxiety.
- Ascaris parasite: gives off something called MD that causes anxiety. If you are seeing anxiety occuring in cycles this is a good possibility because when they mate they give off more of the chemical. Other signs, lots of food sensitivities, hyperness, weepiness and gut dysbiosis. Jaime's daughter had an issue with this. See information about essential oils and parasites here.
- Gaba imbalance - Gaba was another big help for Jaime's family with the anxiety. It also helps the body hand detoxing better and balances out the brain. You can get it at www.holisticheal.com.
- Read a great story about how Balance oil blend and Serenity oil blend helped a young woman's panic attack in 3 minutes here.
- Read a story about how Life Long Vitality supplements helped a woman with anxiety here.
I started taking Frankincense last June for bipolar, depression and anxiety. I just put a drop on my finger and hold it under my tongue for about 15 seconds. Since I have started taking the Frankincense, I went off of Klonopin, Amitryptiline, and cut down on Temazepam and Abilify. Taking the Frankincense has actually saved me money, and my health from nasty side effects from other drugs in the long run. - Tammy
My 8 year old suffers from EXTREME anxiety! We've tried many different concoctions, but her go to comfort oil is Lavender! No more excessive crying & since giving it to her her teacher has made comments on her new behavior. - Lucy

The Arkansas State Supreme Court left prison and state officials scratching their heads today after a decision struck down the state's execution law, making it unclear whether Arkansas has a legal means of carrying out executions.
In a 5-2 opinion, the justices ruled that the law which gives prison officials the ability to determine which chemicals to use when administering lethal injections, violates the separation of powers tenet in the state Constitution, according to Arkansas News.
"It is evident to this court that the Legislature has abdicated its responsibility and passed to the executive branch, in this case the ADC, the unfettered discretion to determine all protocol and procedures, most notably the chemicals to be used, for a state execution," wrote Justice Jim Gunter in the majority opinion.
A representative of the attorney general's office said the decision made it difficult to determine if the state now has a legal method of administering lethal injections and said the office would work with Arkansas Department of Correction officials to find "how to move forward in the light of this decision."

Vande Mataram
|Vande Mataram (1909)
by , translated by Aurobindo Ghose
Here is the literal translation of all the stanzas of Vande Mataram by Aurobindo Ghose as appeared in Karmayogin, 20 November, 1909.
|Bengali Script
|English Transcription
|Translation in PROSE
বন্দে মাতরম্ ৷
vande maataram
I bow to thee, Mother,
Translation in VERSE form by Shri Aurobindo[edit]
Apart from the above literal translation, Shri Aurobindo Ghose was inspired to translate the poem Vande Mataram into a verse form in English, titled as Mother, I Bow to Thee.
Sri Aurobindo commented thus on his English translation of the poem:
"It is difficult to translate the National Song Of India into verse in another language owing to its unique union of sweetness, simple directness and high poetic force."
Mother, I Bow to Thee !
Mother, I bow to thee!
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
bright with orchard gleams,
Cool with thy winds of delight,
Dark fields waving Mother of might,
Mother free.
Glory of moonlight dreams,
Over thy branches and lordly streams,
Clad in thy blossoming trees,
Mother, giver of ease
Laughing low and sweet!
Mother I kiss thy feet,
Speaker sweet and low!
Mother, to thee I bow.
Who hath said thou art weak in thy lands,
When the sword flesh out in the seventy million hands
And seventy million voices roar
Thy dreadful name from shore to shore?
With many strengths who art mighty and stored,
To thee I call Mother and Lord!
Though who savest, arise and save!
To her I cry who ever her foe man drove
Back from plain and Sea
And shook herself free.
Thou art wisdom, thou art law,
Thou art heart, our soul, our breath
Though art love divine, the awe
In our hearts that conquers death.
Thine the strength that nerves the arm,
Thine the beauty, thine the charm.
Every image made divine
In our temples is but thine.
Thou art Durga, Lady and Queen,
With her hands that strike and her swords of sheen,
Thou art Lakshmi lotus-throned,
And the Muse a hundred-toned,
Pure and perfect without peer,
Mother lend thine ear,
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
Bright with thy orchard gleams,
Dark of hue O candid-fair.
In thy soul, with jewelled hair
And thy glorious smile divine,
Loveliest of all earthly lands,
Showering wealth from well-stored hands!
Mother, mother mine!
Mother sweet, I bow to thee,
Mother great and free!

This "/etc/portage/patches" thingie is something that the ebuilds must
support themselves afaik (call epatch_user), although I can imagine a way to

We might want to catch some bugzie admins then and suggest to update their
