Score from 146 reviews Excellent
Large selection of travel adaptors
Very good standards and Location.The staff are excellent.
Good Location, Friendly staff
Lift was not working, had to carry luggage to the second floor
Room and location was good given the price paid. Liked the fact that coffee and tea was provided for free 24/7
Disappointed by cleaning staff of the room. Cleanliness was min for a 4* hotel not even did the basics. Also even though the room was for 2 toiletries were only provided for 1.
The location is close to shopping center; restaurants as well as the train stop station ; the hotel is safe and secure.
Good breakfast Great pillows
Looks like from 80-ties; Very short bed (I'm 160 cm & was touching the end); Small, dark, noisy room.
Proximity to river walk, English theater and train station. All the staff members from reception to those cleaning rooms were friendly and helpful.
That I forgot my internet password would expire at 24 hours and had to go back down for a new one. There was no problem with granting internet access/speed at all.
Nice standard room, no frills. Close to Central station. Good WiFi. Breakfast was very nice with a large buffet with many choices of tasty food. There was even real honey comb.
Busy street with restaurants and cafes in front which produce a lot of noise through the night. There were people shouting, cars making noise until early in the morning. So ask for a room at the back for a good night's sleep when you can
no aircon
Excellent Location, near to Train Station, shopping centre, river and many Halal restaurants. Staff was courteous. Good for families with small children.
Convenience, short walk to train station. Clean room, absolutely marvellous breakfast.
Nothing to complain about.
We were in Frankfurt for easy access to the airport at the start and end of our European trip. The train station is a five minute walk from this hotel and from there it's a 15 minute train ride to the airport. For ease of travel this hotel was perfect for our needs. The breakfast buffet was huge and wonderful.
-location -breakfast -great Reception staff with excellent service recovery skills
-in 4 days linnen has not been changed once -in 4 days it wasn't hoovered once -hairs on the bed linnen -housekeeping opens wardrobe, and takes out things you put away in there
Location, breakfast
Bed is very pooooooor
close to main station near shopping area
The hotel is the worst hotel I stayed in Europe Dirty room No AC Bad staff, the receptionist kept me waiting for 10 min when I arrived talking on the phone. The room was very hot and noisy until 4 AM The TV is maybe 12 inches No English channels The hotel is worth maybe 10 euro per night. And I guess it ruins Accor brand.
Location was excellent with several places to eat & drink within a stone's throw. Only about 5 minutes walk from the main train station. Plenty of sites within walking distance. Friendly staff but allowed us anonymity. Good breakfast selection. Comfortable bed. Room fine for the price.
With no air-con in the room during a very warm spell, we needed the window open. Ok for us, but this may be difficult for some since plenty of noise from the street throughout the night. The fan provided was a welcome necessity. Regular prob of twin beds not double we requested, but common these days. Bit strange because if you wanted twin they were only a centimetre away from each other.
Room quite comfortable and breakfast acceptable.
We were not told that the street market would make it hard to approach the hotel. We had booked for three adults but no linen or towels were provided for the third adult who had just flown in from Los Angeles and badly needed rest. The overworked receptionist herself had to locate the missing items. This took some while. The lift was too small. There was no one to help with luggage - we were all over 70! Few acceptable restaurants in the area.
Great location near main railway station. Friendly restaurants nearby. Room size about what I expect from older central hotel.
If you're looking for a clean, upgraded room in a great location near the Frankfurt main train station for a great price, you can't beat this hotel. Spotless room, nicely appointed, beautiful bathroom and shower fixtures. Great value.
The location! Nice and close too everything.
The toilet was to close too the basin. Very uncomfortable, not sure who did the design, but that was extremely badly planned.
Breakfast was excellent
I booked a superior double room with one double bed but hotel gave me a smaller room (i think it was standard room!) with two single beds. The receptionist said they don't have 1 double bed! However, another staff changed the larger room with 1 double bed for us on the next day. I don't understand why the previous staff said they don't have 1 double bed and gave us a small room! If we didn't talk to the staff, they won't change the larger room for us!
Stayed here overnight, after three weeks in Germany, Austria and Cezch. I had read some reviews of the hotel being old and tired, booked because we received a great price for a prepay booking. On arriving I was pleasantly surprised when we entered the hotel. The lobby was bright clean and modern, room was new and looked like it was recently redone. Bathroom clean and bright. Great location five minute walk to the train station. Area surrounding hotel was clean and safe with lots of cafes and restaurants around. Although this hotel is located near the red light district a few blocks away, it felt very safe and had a great vibe.
Traveled with four couples, some were disappointed that the room had no air conditioning just a fan. For me this was not a problem as the fan blew across you at night when sleeping.

Catholic Health East Appoints Dr. Roberta Waite to Board of Directors
Newtown Square, PA, January 24, 2012 —
Catholic Health East (CHE) is pleased to announce the recent appointment of Roberta Waite, EdD, APRN, CNS-BC, FAAN to its board of directors effective January, 2012.
Waite is currently associate professor of nursing and assistant dean of faculty integration and evaluation of community programs for Drexel University, College of Nursing and Health and associate faculty, Drexel University, Center for Health Equality, School of Public Health.
"Roberta's evidence-based research experience is a wonderful asset to CHE," said Dennis A. Fitzpatrick, chair.
"We look forward to her expertise in this turbulent yet exciting time in healthcare."
Previously, Waite was assistant professor at Drexel University College of Nursing and Health Professions and has held various positions at Hahnemann University Hospital.
Waite is an accomplished author, researcher and presenter and is the recipient of many awards and honors. She is a Macy's Faculty Scholar; a fellow in the American Academy of Nursing; and a recipient of the International Society for Psychiatric Nursing Research Award.
She is an active member in her community and is involved with numerous associations including the Association of Black Nursing Faculty, Inc.; the Attention Deficit Disorder Association and the American Nurses Association.
She earned her postdoctoral research fellowship from the University of Pennsylvania, Center for Health Disparities; her EdD with a specialization in higher education administration from Widener University; her MSN in adult psychiatric mental health nursing from the University of Pennsylvania; and her BSN from Widener University.
Dr. Waite identifies that "It is insufficient for healthcare organizations to solely focus on sound financial stability. We also need to provide a seamless approach to integrated, coordinated, quality patient health care. Furthermore, we need to be much more proactive in developing all of our strengths in interprofessional practice, which is necessary for quality patient outcomes."
Catholic Health East (CHE) is a multi-institutional Catholic health system, co-sponsored by nine religious congregations and Hope Ministries, a Public Juridic Person within Catholic Health East. Based in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, the System provides the means to ensure the continuation of the Catholic identity and operational strength of the sponsors' health ministries, which are located in 11 eastern states from Maine to Florida. The System includes 36 acute care hospitals, five long-term acute care hospitals, 25 freestanding and hospital-based long-term care facilities, 18 assisted living facilities, four continuing care retirement communities, nine behavioral health and rehabilitation facilities, 43 home health/hospice agencies and numerous ambulatory and community-based health services. Catholic Health East facilities employ approximately 60,000 full-time employees as partners in ministry. Catholic Health East is the largest not-for-profit provider of home health care services—ranked by number of visits—in the nation, as well as the nation's leading provider of PACE (Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly) based on the number of programs.

I turned this into a sandwich for lunch. I put several grape tomatoes on a baking sheet and drizzled them with olive oil,and a little salt and pepper.Put them in a moderate oven until they started to burst open. Remove. I toasted two slices of my favorite bread and spread it with my pesto. I arranged the tomatoes on one slice along with a slice of my favorite cheese and topped with other slice of bread. This with a small garden salad made a great lunch.

Denver Police: Woman shot and killed in Denver, one man arrested
DENVER - Denver Police are investigating the shooting death of a woman late Friday night.
Police were called to the area of 13th Avenue and Pearl Street at 11:50 p.m. Friday.
They found a woman with a gunshot wound, she died at the scene, police said.
Denver Police said they arrested 40-year-old Clifford Dee Fordyce on suspicion of 1st-degree murder. Spokesperson Sonny Jackson said Fordyce knew the victim.
Neighbors told 7NEWS they heard police yelling "get down" inside a third floor apartment at 1317 Pearl Street. Police said Fordyce lived in that residence.
Fordyce has an extensive criminal record with arrests for menacing, burglary, assault and more dating back to 1990, according to records from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
The victim's name has not been released.

Streep teamed with Roseanne in 1989's unsuccessful She-Devil (''That [had been] an incredible BBC series but I think they were afraid they would scare men off with a Jacobean-feminist revenge drama. Men didn't go anyway, so why pander?''). She then won her ninth nomination as the frazzled heroine of Carrie Fisher's comic showbiz novel; the role gave her a chance to belt out a country song at the end.
That was cool! Isn't that your fantasy? To be up in front of a couple of electric guitars in a rock & roll band? That was mine! I was Bonnie Raitt for a day. It was the last day of shooting, and they were having a party, and there was real food and real beer out there, and I knew if I did it, I could go to the party.
It was the first movie I made in Hollywood. The only time I'd ever been out there was for awards ceremonies. I'd get nauseous every time we'd come over the mountains and see Los Angeles I'd think, ''Ohhhh, my God, I've gotta get the dress on...''
After costarring with Albert Brooks in his Defending Your Life (1991), Streep was cast opposite Goldie Hawn as a vain, viperish actress who finds the fountain of youth in Robert Zemeckis' biting comedy. It was her first experience with high-tech F/X.
My first, my last, my only. I think it's tedious. Whatever concentration you can apply to that kind of comedy is just shredded. You stand there like a piece of machinery they should get machinery to do it. I loved how it turned out. But it's not fun to act to a lampstand. ''Pretend this is Goldie, right here! Uh, no, I'm sorry, Bob, she went off the mark by five centimeters, and now her head won't match her neck!'' It was like being at the dentist.
I thought that movie was a documentary about the Los Angeles fixation with aging.... Women treat themselves that way because we're given power based on how we look never mind Margaret Mead.
After appearing with Glenn Close and Winona Ryder in an adaptation of Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits (1994) and Curtis Hanson's action film The River Wild (1994), Streep won the decade's most sought-after female role and her 10th Oscar nomination in Clint Eastwood's adaptation of the Robert James Waller best-seller.
I had a picture of who this was I knew it was an Italian war bride, and I had grown up down the street from one. Her husband was this tall blond man, and she barely spoke any English. Over the years she learned she was a very bright, interesting woman but there was always something exotic about her. Anyway, the book had this woman in jeans and braless. It was just hard for me to understand her. I had a pretty vivid picture of her, and I didn't want to complicate it [laughs] with the author's actual intent. I honestly didn't finish the book. I started it and then thought, I'll wait for the screenplay. The screenplay had a woman in it.

At first, I didn't think I wanted to do #Bloganization. Going through my blog's archives seemed too daunting a task--even for a month-long project. My archives are an assortment of the last four years of my story, and that story has been through a good share of different chapters: my pen name's been dropped, my blog's name has changed a handful of times, I've had the look redesigned. And don't even get me started on how my blogging style has evolved! But all the reasons organizing my blog's archives felt overwhelming were the very reasons I considered dong it.

Why a Recipe Plugin is the Perfect Ingredient for Any WordPress Blog
If you have ever shared a recipe on your blog, you need a recipe plugin. Here are five reasons why: 1. Pinterest Rich Pins Have you seen the recipe pins on Pinterest that list all the ingredients under the pin itself? Not the pins where someone has typed out the directions in a long pin description, but the pins where Pinterest displays the ingredients in an organized manner. That is the power of rich pins combined with a recipe plugin that supplies Pinterest with your recipe data. 2. Pinterest Search Searching for recipes on Pinterest used to require also searching for the keywords … [Read more...]
Top 10 Questions to Help Organize Your Blog Archives
When I first started sifting my blog archives, I asked myself only, "Which posts need to go?" But the more I re-read, the more I began asking myself, "Which posts need to stay?" As writers, it's easy to view the written word as sacred. We can't bear to think of deleting a single post we've published, let alone shutting down an entire blog or website. But when I think about the sheer multitude of words I have written, it's almost overwhelming. And I know that with that many words, there is surely some chaff that could be separated from the wheat. I've been busy sorting my blog archives as … [Read more...]
Do your blog archives need some #bloganization?
Growth and change are two hallmarks of a good blogger, or indeed anyone who excels at their craft! As each season changes, we see growth, but we are also often faced with the urge to purge. Clean. Reorganize. Just as in life, each change of season is a great opportunity to get organized in our home on the internet. As bloggers, our online "homes" (our blogs!) most likely fall into one of the following categories: You are in the midst of a big move (from wp.com to self-hosted wp.org, like me, perhaps?). You are working through the rebranding process (Simple Mom to The Art of Simple … [Read more...]

A Beginner's Guide to Tumblr
Tumblr 101 If you're unfamiliar with Tumblr, it's kind of hard to explain without comparisons to other social media. Think blogging – but short, punchy, informal, and immediate. Think Pinterest, but in a scrolling feed style. Think Twitter, without the limitations of 140 characters. And think of hashtags like you've never thought of them before. The Tumblr interface has been around for seven years now, but when I jumped on the bandwagon about five years ago, it was still relatively small. I didn't know anyone from "actual real life" who used Tumblr, and I'd stumbled onto it quite randomly. … [Read more...]
6 Types of Groups for Bloggers (which one is right for you?)
A blogging group is simply a place where bloggers can reap the benefits of a multitude of counselors. Some take the form of support groups, others are focused on mentoring, while some are true mastermind groups. Whether you meet at your local coffee shop, hang out in a Google+ community, or most of your interaction takes place on Voxer, you'll find that great minds don't always think alike. And in the variety of perspective you'll find that iron sharpens iron. As you share your expertise and feedback with each other you'll learn and grow together. But with all sorts of groups for … [Read more...]
How to Organize Your Blog Archives (3 steps to sort your content)

What to Do If You've Already Re-Posted Duplicate Content On Your Blog

Cavalconte: Dave Brubeck Brought 'Real Stardom' to Jazz Scene
Dave Brubeck was composer and pianist, but that barely scratches the surface of his illustrious career. Brubeck passed away yesterday in a Norwalk, Connecticut hospital. He was one day shy of turning 92.
Jazz and Brubeck were one and the same. He spanned the entire jazz scene in America after World War II. He formed the Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1951. By 1954, Brubeck reached a historic milestone when he was chosen as the first modern jazz musician to grace the cover of Time magazine.
If Time was Brubeck's "arrival," his popularity reached its zenith with the seminal album Time Out in 1959. It marked the first jazz LP to crack 1 million in sales.
The album includes Brubeck's signature piece Take Five, which also became the quartet's theme.
Paul Cavalconte played Take Five and other Brubeck riffs during his stint at WQCD.
"Take Five" was the most covered original jazz title on CD 101.9," Cavalconte tells FishbowlNY. "I think we played about five or six versions, counting the original."

Data Acquisition Toolbox
The Data Acquisition Toolbox provides Simulink blocks for acquiring live analog or digital data directly into your Simulink models.
This example uses the Analog Input block to acquire live signals from a data acquisition device into Simulink. In this example, the sound card is selected as the input device in the Analog Input block. The Simulink model implements a spectral analysis method known as the periodogram. A periodogram computes the spectral content of a signal over time.
Watch the spectrogram on a live audio input (0:18)
The input signal is a real-time audio signal through a microphone. The signal is buffered into frames, with 128 samples per frame. Each frame is then windowed using a Hamming window function, and the blockset computes the FFT for the windowed frame. The system collects the FFTs for successive frames and plots them to produce a spectrogram.
Even though a Windows sound card was used for this example, this model can be easily updated to connect your models to other supported data acquisition devices. This provides you the flexibility to use the same Simulink model with different data acquisition device.

It's hard to believe that just eleven months after Hurricane Sandy barreled through the city, it's not been a major topic on the campaign trail. Talk of taxes, education, and crime are dominating the conversation – when we're not debating the relevance of the Sandinistas and the Contras in the fight for City Hall.
That changed a little yesterday when both Bill de Blasio and Joe Lhota campaigned in areas of Queens that were badly damaged by the storm. Not surprisingly that when it comes to Sandy recovery, the candidates have been focusing on their political bases. De Blasio has not been to Rockaway's predominantly white and more conservative "West End" since the storm while Lhota hasn't been to Far Rockaway and instead focused on areas like Breezy Point, Broad Channel, and Howard Beach.
Interestingly, it was the first time in a while that de Blasio had some good words for Mayor Bloomberg, promising to continuing his work to rebuild the Rockaways. But in a clear signal that he probably needs to bone up on storm recovery efforts, de Blasio was vague about translating federal relief money into jobs for the area, calling such a goal "aspirational."
Lhota has been pointing to his work as the head of the MTA during the storm as proof that he'd be good at getting storm-ravaged neighborhoods back on track. But recovery isn't just about having the trains run on time – swaths of parts of the city are still limping along in the wake of Sandy.
The lack of discussion of the hurricane on the campaign trail should actually be seen as a testament to the city's resiliency – not as heartlessness by the candidates. But I'd suggest that they all read the Bloomberg administration's 400-page plus blueprint for recovery. It provides a good starting point for whoever takes the helm of City Hall next January. And here's hoping that they come to all of the Rockaways after Election Day.
Correction: In my morning conversation with Pat Kiernan today, I said our mayoral debate is on Oct. 8th. The debate will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 9th. Our debate for City Comptroller is Oct. 8th.

Let's face it, every casino has their run-of-the-mill bar that includes clouds of cigarette smoke as an amenity. And iBar, located just inside the main entrance of the Rio, transforms the normal casino bar into a VJ-spinning, sultry-waitressing, cocktail-sipping island of debauchery.
You see, while smoke and video poker may work for some crowds, iBar is after the hip crowd looking to start their party off in style or make a night of it here.
The first thing that draws the male crowd in is the seductive waitresses. Sure, every bar in town has a hot staff wearing next to nothing, but iBar takes it a step further with servers in wraps that barely cover, yet leave some room for imagination. Well, that's until she walks away from your table with a sheer cover-up showing off a thong. But save your John Travolta impressions, she's heard that line a million times.
For everyone else, the power of a video jockey spinning Thursday - Saturday is enough to drum up some curiosity. VJs spin Top 40, hip-hop, rock and whatever else comes to mind, while the accompanying mix of videos plays on the flat screens overhead.
While all these enhancements sound good in their own right, this bar would simply be a beefed up casino bar if it weren't for the signature drink menu accompanying it. The list covers the entire cocktail spectrum from the "Naughty Intentions" (Skyy Infusions Raspberry vodka, peach schnapps, sour mix, fresh raspberries and Sierra Mist) meant to satisfy the fruity drinker to the "Chocolate Razz" (Godiva Chocolate liqueur, Absolut Vanilla vodka, Bailys Irish Cream liqueur, raspberry coulis and whipped cream) for the more sophisticated palate.
And because it is raised above the casino floor, iBar is an ideal spot for people watching.

Kathy Sullivan: There is a broad campaign afoot to undermine support of public schools
That concept should not be difficult to grasp, and at one time it was promoted by people of all political stripes. Unfortunately, the idea that a strong public school system is important is under siege.
There are several threats to public schools. One is from the neglect caused by elected officials who are more interested in their tax-cutting records than they are in education (see, e.g., Ted Gatsas, mayor of Manchester). Another is from the far right, which has a palpable contempt for public education.
The far right insists on calling public schools "government schools," as if President Obama was personally running Stalinist-style indoctrination centers across the country. Actually, some of them in their paranoia actually do feel that way, as evidenced by some of the comments you can find regarding public schools.
They are aided and abetted in their quest by less paranoid, "conservative" Republicans, who have been seeking ways to divert tax dollars to private schools and religious schools as a way of providing school choice. A few years ago, the suggested method was vouchers, which never made it very far. Now, the method is a more complicated system which gives businesses tax credits for contributing to scholarship programs to send children to private or religious schools. It isn't just New Hampshire; this idea is being promoted nationally.
I have nothing against religious schools; I am the product of an excellent Catholic grammar school and Catholic college (a fact which might make some of those radical Republicans think twice about supporting religious schools, but I digress). But I have a problem with the use of tax dollars to fund religious schools, and that is what tax credits do.
These schools already receive tax-exempt status as non-profit organizations. Companies that want to donate scholarship dollars already receive the benefit of charitable tax deductions. Giving them New Hampshire tax credits on top of the federal tax deductions they already benefit from gives these donors a most-favored status that donors to other non-profit organizations do not receive, while draining tax dollars from the public school system that is educating the majority of the state's children.
Let these companies keep their tax deduction, but let's not give them tax credits added on top. Why should donations to religious or private schools receive better treatment than, say, a donation to a library, a museum, a homeless shelter or a food bank? It doesn't make sense.
And then there is the curriculum. I do not know if the conservative Republicans who are promoting the tax credit program really understand what is being taught in some of the religious schools actively seeking funding from the program. If they did, they would find out that these schools are not just using tax-credit receipts to teach religion (despite our state constitutional prohibition against funding religious education). Some of these schools teach politics wrapped in a religious aura, and it is a far, far, far right view of the world not based in reality.
One school in Dover that encourages the use of these tax credit scholarships teaches a warped view of both public schools and the United States government. Its web site states that the true goal of public education is the engineering of a citizen who parrots "a socialistic, centralized, Statist, relativistic world-view." Christian education, however, is a bulwark and lightning rod "for all society against the relentless expansionism of the total State."
With all due respect, why are tax credits being used to promote any political agenda, let alone a fundamentally paranoid view that our country's government is evil? If parents want to teach their kids that kind of stuff, they can do it on their own time or their own nickel. We don't have to help pay for it.
Actually, if they think government is that bad, isn't it just a little hypocritical to accept funding through a government voucher ... excuse me, tax credit program?
The Legislature has an opportunity to end this tax credit program. If companies want to donate, they can do so; ending the tax credit program doesn't prevent anyone from writing a check. The New Hampshire House of Representatives has voted to end the program; let us hope the Senate will join suit.
Kathy Sullivan is a Manchester attorney and member of the Democratic National Committee. She was chairman of the state Democratic Party from 1999-2007.

Celebrate Alberta Wilderness with the 2015 Calgary Tower murals!
Margaret Main, the mural painting competition coordinator, says that each year the variety and quality of the artwork produced has been impressive: "The dull, grey interior of the tower is gradually being transformed into the tallest art gallery in the west."
The competition 's theme is Alberta Native Species in its Habitat. Murals featured an Alberta native species in its habitat. No specific style requirements are defined.
2014 Winners:
Congratulations to all the winners and all the painters. Your murals are a lasting testament to the passion and concern we all share for keeping our wild spaces and wildlife wild. Thank you for taking a day to be part of this event and we hope to see you on the stairs on April 18, 2015 to enjoy the almost 200 murals gracing the Tallest Gallery in the West!
2013 Winners:
Congratulations to all teams painting murals on Saturday! What tremendous effort and excellent murals you added to the Calgary Tower's Tallest Gallery!
2012 Winners:
The new murals brought a sense of understanding and commitment to endangered wildlife as well as the rewards of wild spaces recreation and renewal that is so important to all of us.
2011 Winners:
As always, the judging was a very difficult job, with the winner in the adult category being chosen by only the slimmest of margins.
2010 Winners:
The scores were all very high this year, including the winning entry from the Elementary School category, which garnered a perfect score! Margaret Main writes: "The marks for the murals have never been so high. The winners in some categories had only one half-point difference. We are thrilled with the paintings and the tremendous support from the public and the artists."
2009 Winners:
Picking the winners from among this year's 14 entries was no easy task! All the teams produced very worthy murals and after much deliberation, the judges ended up picking the following winners by only a very few points:
2008 Winners:
Each year individuals, families, and groups come to the stairwells of the Calgary Tower to use a 2 by 2.6 m (6' tall and 8' wide) canvas to express an appreciation for Alberta's wilderness and wildlife. The murals are a stunning testament to the value of wilderness by a wide range of Albertans. This gallery is a wonderful legacy for the City of Calgary.
While the stairway is not usually open to the public, the masterpieces can be viewed at this year's Climb and Run for Wilderness.
Thank you to the Calgary Tower for their generous support of the Mural Painting Competition, Higher Ground Café for refreshments and to our art and mural advisors and judges, Barry Marks, David Harrison and Natalie Marsh. Our outstanding Mural Painting Competition coordinator is Margaret Main, tireless AWA volunteer. We also thank the participants and all our volunteers for making this annual competition such a great success!

Construction safety clampdown
Published at 11:38, Monday, 20 February 2012
CONSTRUCTION sites are being put under the spotlight as part of a drive to cut the number of work-related deaths.
Inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will be visiting sites across Cumbria where refurbishment or repair work is being carried out. The safety checks are part of a month-long drive across Great Britain to improve standards in one of the country's most dangerous industries.
The inspectors' main focus will be on high-risk activity including working at height and 'good order', such as ensuring sites are clean and tidy with clear access routes.
Falls from height remain one of the most common causes of deaths and major injuries in the construction sector in Great Britain, with more than five incidents recorded every day.
The purpose of the initiative is to remind those working in construction that poor standards are unacceptable, and could result in enforcement action.
During 2010/11, one worker was killed while working in construction in Cumbria and 25 serious injuries were reported. There were seven deaths and 308 serious injuries across the North West during the same period.
Dorothy Shaw, HSE's principal inspector for Construction in Cumbria, said: "The refurbishment sector continues to be the most risky for construction workers, but small changes to working practices can make all the difference.
"Poor management of risks in this industry is unacceptable, and even the smallest of firms should have a culture which allows workers to raise issues without fear of reprisal.
"As we have demonstrated in the past, we will take strong action if we find evidence that workers are being unnecessarily put at risk."

Eagle Nest History
Eagle Nest is located in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, nestled in the Moreno Valley between New Mexico's two highest peaks - Baldy Mountain (12,441 feet) and Wheeler Peek (13,161 feet) - at the junction of US Hwy 64 and State Hwy 38. Situated at 8,300 feet above sea level, the village offers high-country terrain, including mountains, valleys, ranch lands, and scenic vistas with pine, aspen, wildflowers, and clean air surrounding beautiful Eagle Nest Lake. The abundant wildlife in the area includes bear, elk, mountain cats, beavers, and -- yes -- eagles, both bald and golden.
The first inhabitants of the Moreno Valley were Native American tribes who freely roamed in search of game for food and golden feathers for ceremonial worship. Every fall they traveled to the valley where Angel Fire is today to renew themselves with the Great Spirit. In the late 1860s, when gold was struck, prospectors began arriving. It's estimated that over six million dollars of gold came from the mines in the surrounding areas, including Red River and Elizabethtown. The town of Eagle Nest first began as a ramshackle mining town, providing a homebase of sorts for the miners. During the mid to late 1800s, ranchers also moved cattle onto the open range of the Moreno Valley.
In the early 1900s, the Valley began to again change. Ranchers Charles and Frank Springer and the Cimarron Valley Land Company were granted Permit #71 in 1907 to impound the water of the Cimarron River for irrigation by building a dam. Construction on the dam began in 1916 and continued through 1918. It is thought to be the largest privately constructed dam in the United States. The concrete structure stands 140 feet above the creek bed, is 400 feet wide, and 9.5 feet thick at its crest and 45.2 feet thick at its base.
The dam created a reservoir covering 2,200 surface acres. The reservoir was named Eagle Nest Lake because of the eagles that nested in the area. Eagle Nest Lake was stocked with trout, and fishermen began to arrive. With the fishermen came entrepreneurs. Moreno Valley was transformed from a quiet farming community to a rough and rowdy town that catered to the entertainment of cowboys and tourists.
The town was originally named Therma - after the postal inspector's daughter. After mail continued to flow in addressed to Eagle Nest Lake, the town was renamed Eagle Nest in the 1930s.
Today Eagle Nest still exemplifies the free-soaring spirit of the eagles that continue to rise above the community on the shores of nearby Eagle Nest Lake. And the surrounding mountains are still a source of life and commerce, treating visitors to year-round recreation – some of the best scenery, hiking trails, big game hunting, fishing, and snow skiing to be found anywhere. To the delight of ice fishermen, winter ice thickness on the Lake often reaches two and one-half to three feet.
Eagle Nest has its share of ghost stories, but it is far from a ghost town. As of December 1999, 60 businesses were registered with the Village Clerk, and the population is estimated at 300.
Eagle Nest is the eastern gateway to the Enchanted Circle, and offers year-round accommodations in the center of northern New Mexico's mountain wonderland as well as skiing, hunting, fishing, boating, hiking, craft fairs, museums, shopping and many other activities to our visitors. A newly renovated main street with sidewalks and antique street lights offers numerous specialty shops and down-home restaurants.

Lily Allen's at it again. In her new video for Sheezus, the never-not-opinionated Brit takes aim at reigning pop queens: Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and even sweet little Lorde. (Surprisingly she leaves T-Swift out of it.) READ FULL STORY
Tag: Lily Allen (1-10 of 17)
Lily Allen's new 'Our Time' video is all about her
Lily Allen has (somewhat literally) thrown up the video for her latest single "Our Time," off her forthcoming album Sheezus to be released May 5th. I was super behind her album title, especially considering the shade she threw at pretty much everyone with her "Hard Out Here" video. Shade for the ageist, sexist music industry. Shade for Miley. Shade for rap videos. Shade for all!
And then she said in an interview with Shortlist that she thinks we don't need feminism anymore and that women hate each other more than men hate us…so yah, Lily has been scoring big in the racy statements department. But then after all that delicious rabble-rousing, she said that Sheezus was actually an homage to Kanye. Hmm.
After her scandalizing streak, her newest clip seems kind of… blah. Instead of partying with her girlfriends, she's in the back of a cab with three other versions of herself–and then she stiffs the poor cabbie after his long and messy night chauffeuring her around. It left a bad taste in my mouth. (Pun intended.): READ FULL STORY
Lily Allen defends her new video against racism charges
Once upon a time (i.e., about a month ago), accusations of racism of were thrown at New Zealand's Lorde for her chart-owning single "Royals," a song that made some barbed observations about the luxury cars and expensive liquors that litter our pop-culture landscape.
British popstress Lily Allen's now getting some of the same flack for her new "Hard Out Here" video, which covers many of the same themes. The British Commonwealth singers can't catch a break!
As with the Lorde kerfuffle, the claims against Allen seem a little dubious, but we'll summarize both sides of the argument for you below.
From the Black in Asia Tumblr, reblogged by Jezebel: READ FULL STORY
Lily Allen's new, Robin Thicke-teasing NSFW 'Hard Out There' -- watch it here
Lily Allen, where have you been?
Mostly she's been busy being Lily Cooper, then Lily Allen again — getting married, making babies, and dipping a toe back into the pop pool.
Now she's fully back with a new single, "Hard Out Here," and a video that pokes at both Hype Williams-era rap videos and right-now product placements plus … other kinds of placements. (Paging Mr. Thicke!)
It's all a little bit NSFW, but keep your 18-and-over eye on the Mylar balloons that come in around 3:08: READ FULL STORY
New video round-up: Pink finds 'True Love' with Lily Allen, Ciara and Nicki Minaj drop it low on 'I'm Out'
A good rule for children at the pool is "always swim with a buddy." Replace the word "swim" with "booty pop" and "violently cut carrots," and you have the new videos from Ciara feat. Nicki Minaj and Pink feat. Lily Allen, respectively.
Pink's "True Love" finds the singer cavorting about with husband Carey Hart and daughter Willow. There are also some flashy psychedelic colors, footage of her trapeze act from her last tour, and track collaborator Lily Allen whipping up a smoothie full of rage (and fiber!). Check out the flashy clip below.
Lily Allen calls out Adele's Brit Awards interruption, says it's industry sexism
The Brit Awards have already sent their "deepest apologies" to a bird-flipping Adele for cutting off her big moment to make time for a reunited Blur performance, but some people still aren't having it. Lily Allen is one of them.
The English pop singer came to her countrywoman's defense on Twitter, writing "I'd rather hear adeles acceptance speech."
Fair enough — after all, not everybody has to like Blur. But Allen then went on to suggest that the move represented larger issues of sexism at play:
"I can't say I'm surprised. It was like the music industry's attitude to women played out as a metaphor."
An interesting allegation! But does it hold water? The Brit Awards organizer, for their part, pointed out in their statement that "the live show overrunning," adding: "We don't want this to undermine her incredible achievement in winning our night's biggest award. It tops off what's been an incredible year for her."
A representative from ITV, which aired the ceremony, backed them up in a separate statement: "Unfortunately the programme was overrunning and we had to move on."
Which sounds legitimate. We've certainly seen stars of all genders get played off the stage early, here and abroad. And when you watch the incident in question, the guy tasked with interrupting Adele looks far more terrified than he does anti-woman.
What do you guys think of Allen's interpretation? Is Adele the victim of industry-wide chauvinism, or just poor planning? Take another look at the video below and let us know.

Perez Hilton tells us all about SXSW's worst and best bands, his newest signee, and why he hates Ke$ha
his warehouse party last night. "I saw jj earlier this week," he said, referring to the woozy Swedish act whose full-length debut inspired countless critical raves last year. "I love their album, and they were awful live…They were embarrassingly bad. It was insulting as an audience member, actually, how little they cared. This girl just sat there, not having any interaction with the crowd, being lethargic. It was disgusting." Ouch. Sorry, jj.With SXSW finished until next year, thousands of music fans are now scattering back home to annoy and/or delight their friends by bragging about all the life-changingly brilliant new artists they discovered in Austin. Most also have a horror story or two about buzz bands that turned out to be more like bust bands in a live setting. Perez Hilton was eager to share the latter type of SXSW tale when I met him backstage before
Surely, not everything Perez saw in Austin this year made him feel such revulsion? "I went to parties, I saw some shows, but everyone that I really wanted to see is performing here tonight [at my party]," the savvy self-promoter said. Oh, okay. I asked Perez to explain why he'd picked some of the artists he did for his third annual SXSW bash. He answered as follows. READ FULL STORY
Lily Allen abducts Elton John -- in her video dreams
It seems Lily Allen is intent on reopening a year-old spat with Elton John — judging by the music video for her latest single "Who'd Have Known."
Last September, the pair hosted the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London, during which Allen surprised no one by becoming soused and swearing onstage. Being a knight and all that, Elton John felt the need to stand up for propriety and hint that Allen should stop with the champagne. Allen succinctly replied, "F– off Elton, I'm 40 years younger than you, I have my whole life ahead of me." His response? "I could still snort you under the table."
Yeah, it's hard to say who the real "victor" was in that argument, but in her new video Lily tries to have the final diss. Covered in eyeshadow thick enough to make Julie Newmar blush, Lily abducts Sir Elton (shown in photos, but played by a look-alike), ties him up in her living room, and forces him to profess his love for her. Watch the British songstress seductively torment the Crocodile Rocker below:
The whole thing seems strangely believable, which is either a testament to her acting skills or an indication that she should seek therapy. At the same 2008 awards show, Lily also announced that she'd take Tony Bennett to bed in spite of his age. Let's hope there's not a music video following up on that in her future.
What do you think? Is this whole thing funny or disturbing? By our reckoning, it's still not the creepiest Elton John-related video out there.

I am a 5'4, 168lbs female with 35% bf (yes, i said 35%). This was measured by an experienced personal trainer using calipers.
I hold a lot of fat on my thighs, bum and belly. Seriously, my thighs and bum are all fat, there is no muscle there at all. I am from an african background and all of the females in my family are like this. It's disgusting. It doesnt help that our diet is based on starchy carbs and a little protein.
Anyway, I digress.
I have discovered that I am seriously carb sensitive. Last sunday I ate a whole plate of pasta and was left comatised for 3 hours. Seriously. I sat on the sofa after I'd finished eating and woke up 2 hours later groggy, fell back asleep and woke up 1.5 hours later. I was struggling to get up. I felt like crap. This only happens when I eat large quantities of rice or pasta.
I have decided to dedicate the next 12 weeks to lose some serious fat. I study part time and have put that on hold this term so I can finally lose this weight and get my self esteem back. I have lost 35lbs already and want to lose another 35lbs.
I can dedicate two hours a day to exercise and before anyone says that's too much, it's a choice between exercise or sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Can I realistically lose 2-3lbs a week? Has anyone done this before?
I have been following a low gi diet over the past few months and have been losing 1.5lbs a week. I lift 3-4 times week and jog for an hour 3 times a week.
How can I change my exercise routine to lose more weight?
