Historical Traveller Reviews of Villa Maria Hotel
t stay there again...from ClaphamLondon
When we moved over the following morning to stay in the Villa Maria they put us back into a detached room even though we were told we were to be upgraded and told the person we had spoken to knew nothing! We then had to ask to be moved as our room was again on the road and extremely noisy. We then had to pay 90 Euros extra for another room away from the traffic, this was the upgraded room that had been promised!
I wouldn't stay there again, the breakfast was not anything to write home about and whilst the reception were quite friendly it was too much of a package holiday hotel for my taste.
unfriendly and dishonestfrom A TripAdvisor Member
valuables at the front desk safe. $260.0 were bstolen.
A GEM OF A HOTELfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The staff is highly trained, pleasant and accommodating. One gets the family feel in this hotel yet you know it's operated by professionals.
A solid value. A completely comfortable and carefree place to stay, time and again.
Loved the location, close to Town Centre.from dewar6885
Be careful!from A TripAdvisor Member
Villa Maria a home from homefrom A TripAdvisor Member
We are always made very welcome by all the staff and nothing is to much trouble for themto make your stay a relaxed and happy one.The breakfasts & evening meals are varied and of good quality for a 3* hotel.The decoration and cleanliness of the hotel is of a very good standard. The bedrooms & bathrooms are also very clean. Our only gripe is the shower cubicle is small but functional.
The pool and bar area is a very pleasant place to top up your tan or enjoy a freshly prepared light lunch. There is also a roof terrace solarium if you want some peace to read or just laze in the sun. A hydromassage pool and sauna (paid locally) are for the more adventurous, it is very good, we do use them.
Only a 10 minute stroll away is the beautiful town of Sorrento. The people are very friendly & hospitable, we have tried to learn Italian and this appreciated. A cafe you must visit is the Cafe Monna Lisa set amidst the cobbled streets off Corsa Italia, it is a must, it's the only place we know where you get a smiley face on your Cappuchino, everything is presented with that little extra touch. Try it for yourself and see what we mean, the staff are very friendly and helpful.
The cafe in the Communial gardens is also a very pretty place to enjoy a coffee, watch the world go by, and a view to die for overlooking the bay of Naples.
Sorrento and the Amalfi coast is a wonderful area to visit with something for everyone. The local transport is good so everywhere is easy to get to. We love the area so much we have already booked to go back in 2005, a week in the hotel Posa Posa in Positano (run by the same family)and a week in the hotel Villa Maria,where we will be greeted like old friends.
Very Comfortable Hotelfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The room was excellent having a bathroom with a large shower (including seat!) with a good flow of water with reliable temperature control. This was very welcome as it was hot and sunny all week and a refreshing shower was needed after each visit to town. The towels provided were the fluffy variety we are used to using in the UK not the "tea-towels" often found in Italian hotels.
The standard of cleanliness in restaurant, corridors and room (cleaned/towels replaced every day while we were at breakfast) was excellent.
The air conditiong was superb.
The buffet breakfast was really good with a good choice of bread, pastries, croissants etc. The fruit juice (orange or pineapple) was poor.
Evening meals were OK if a little boring after a few days. The staff were very friendly and helpful and did not expect you to wait for anything.
The pool area was a little scruffy at times. Some of the loungers are broken and these tended to have the mattrasses on them to hide the damage. We used to swap the mattrasses to a good bed then leave a book /towel on them while we had breakfast. I did see the staff swap the good bed back to a damaged one on a couple of occasions.
Nevertheless the area was good for sunbathing once we got round this problem which we found more amusing than annoying.
Although the hotel is close to the main road we had no problem with noise from traffic as most of the rooms are down a side road.
The walk into the town takes only a few minutes through busy traffic. We recommend the Bouganvilla diner/gelateria for mouth-watering crepes and absolutely excellent coffee. This is very close to the hotel.
Sorrento town is very busy and "touristy" and although we really enjoyed our holiday we will probably return to Amalfi when taking a holiday on the Neapolitan Riveria again.
Loved this hotelfrom A TripAdvisor Member
We had a fifth floor room with a balcony with views over the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius. There was a little table and 2 chairs on the balcony to enjoy the view in comfort. The french windows on to the balcony were shuttered. The air conditioning was great. Room was clean and neat with tiled floor and cool white cotton bed linen.
Bathroom had a marble wash hand basin, loo, bidet, hairdryer (which was a little slow to dry!) and a free standing shower cubicle. White italian "Frette" towels were supplied - only the best! The bathroom was great but, often, as there was no ventilation, somewhat steamy! They could really improve on that.
The breakfast was generous, with an impressive banquet table of delights every morning
(melon/cakes/crossiants/bread rolls/scrambled eggs/ham and cheeses/yoghurts etc). (However, we thought the sweetened orange and pineapples juices on offer were unnecessary as the area grows such great fruit!)
The staff were friendly and on our arrival supplied maps and recent transport/ferry timetables to Capri etc, and advised that they were here to help us - and they really did.
I would recommend this hotel as we had a very comfortable and pleasant stay - looking forward to returning some day.

Top Local Tips for Sorrento
Getting around We wanted to use Sorrento as a base for visiting Pompeii, Vesuvius, Capri etc...........would recommend going with a tour group........public transport is often crowded. The only road is the coast road and that is very narrow with tight curves and parking is difficult, so would not recommend hiring a car.
Visit Herculanium Lots of the tours just go to Pompei but Herculanium is well worth visiting. Train from Sorrento. Also when you go to Vesuvius try to make the climb to the top takes 30mins up and 10mins down. Views are breathtaking and when you also see the power of the mountain at the two historic sites its awesome and it could occur again any day.
Capri It is nice to say that you have been but it is over rated and expensive. It is very similar to Sorrento. Instead of queing for ages to lie flat in a rowing boat to be pushed into the grotto, instead take a boat trip around the whole island. This way you will see the grotto from behind and still get to see the fabulous blue hues of the water.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Shocking. Savage. suffocating.
The Seattle Seahawks defense provided the answer of Who can stop Denver and Peyton Manning? on Sunday night, and it did so with remarkable authority.
Seattle destroyed Denver, 43-8, in the 48th Super Bowl. And the blowout win was all about the complete mismatch that Seattles No.1 defense vs. Denvers No.1 offense turned out to be.
Seattles defense caused four turnovers and set up two touchdowns with first-half interceptions one of them a 69-yard pick six TD by linebacker Malcolm Smith, the games eventual Most Valuable Player.
And former N.C. State quarterback Russell Wilson, in only his second season in the NFL, threw for two touchdowns and 206 yards. Wilson didnt commit a single turnover as he thoroughly outplayed one of his idols in Manning.
Said a downcast Manning afterward: They deserved to win. They played better than we did. ... To finish this way is very disappointing. Its not an easy pill to swallow.
The Seahawks also got a gift safety on the first offensive play of the game, when Manning was still making his pre-snap adjustments and an early center snap sent the ball flying over his head and deep into the end zone.
That safety only 12 seconds into the game the fastest score in Super Bowl history was a foreshadowing of the next three hours. The Seahawks made every significant play while Denver imploded on the games biggest stage.
I hope we etched our names in the history books, Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman said.
The Seahawks did. They led, 22-0, at halftime. They led 29-0 after Percy Harvin returned the second-half kickoff for a touchdown.
By the time Denver finally scored its only touchdown on the final play of the third quarter, it only cut the lead to 36-8 and did nothing but ensure the Broncos could avoid the embarrassment of a shutout. Wilsons final TD pass capped the scoring.
Tonight was just unbelievable, Wilson said. The thing that you want to do at the end of the season is play your best football and thats what we did tonight.
This was one of those old-fashioned Super Bowl beatdowns of the 1990s, the kind where you could send the kids to bed early without argument because it got so darn boring after awhile.
The weather wasnt cold at all by New Jersey standards, as it stayed in the 40s throughout most of the game. It was the Denver offense that was frigid, as Seattle simply lined up in a base defense and dared the Broncos to beat them man-on-man. Denver never could.
The win also meant that Broncos coach John Fox, who had open-heart surgery three months ago in Charlotte before returning to coach Denver, was again denied the first Super Bowl win in his NFL coaching career.
Fox, 58, has now gotten to the Super Bowl three times as a coach and lost all three, including 10 years ago as the Panthers head coach in Carolinas lone appearance in the big game.
That game was a thriller that New England won 32-29 in the final seconds. This game was far from that.
At the end of the day, theres no excuses, Fox said afterward. Give the Seahawks a lot of credit. ... Theres a reason why they were ranked No. 1 in defense. They are outstanding.
This game looked a lot like Foxs final playoff appearance in Charlotte, when Carolina got blown out at home by Arizona in the 2008 postseason. The Panthers trailed 27-7 at halftime in that one. Fox said afterward his team had picked a bad day to have a bad day.
Five years later, the Broncos followed that same bad day script to the letter Sunday night.
Seattle never punted in the first half.
Denver never scored.
Denvers initial first down didnt come until the second quarter. Manning threw those two critical first-half interceptions while it was still close one when his arm was hit and one that was simply an overthrow.
This was another testament to the old adage about defense being the key to titles, even in this pass-happy NFL era.
Defense does win championships, Seattle safety Kam Chancellor said. You have to say that now.
The Seattle defense played as well in this one as the legendary 1985 Bears, a team that set the NFL standard for smashmouth defense.
Remember, Denver had scored more points than anyone in NFL history in this game, and Manning had had the best statistical season that any quarterback has ever had.
But in this game, Manning who had won his fifth NFL MVP award Saturday night was mostly reduced to throwing a lot of five-yard passes over the middle. Wilson, who had a quarterback rating of 123.1, was so efficient that he didnt have to play the games final five minutes.
By the third quarter, with Denver down 29-0, Fox had reverted to his old conservative ways that Panthers fans well remember.
With a third-and-10 from the Seattle 38, Denver ran a draw play and lost two yards. Fox then called for a punt.
It was practically a concession speech.

Of Saints and Critics
By Madhavananda das
For persons aspiring for service and ecstatic love for Krishna, fault-finding is a great impediment. In his purport to Caitanya-caritāmṛta, ādi 8.62, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has described the qualification of a vaiṣṇava:
It is a qualification of a vaiṣṇava that he is adoṣa-darśī: he never sees others' faults. Of course, every human being has both good qualities and faults. Therefore it is said, saj-janā guṇam icchanti doṣam icchanti pāmarāḥ: everyone has a combination of faults and glories. But a vaiṣṇava, a sober man, accepts only a man's glories and not his faults, for flies seek sores whereas honeybees seek honey.
In his Sārārtha-darśini commentary on Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 4.4.12, Srila Viswanath Chakravarti Thakur has described four types of saintly persons according to how they see good qualities and faults:
1) Mahat ("great person") — A mahat has the ability to see some good in everyone. They also perceive faults in others, but they consider that those faults can be eventually transformed by certain methods into good qualities. Thus, if they feel that a person may be benefited by discussing that person's faults, they may, under appropriate circumstances, speak harsh words. Neem juice tastes very bitter, but it can cure diseases when administered appropriately. It should be noted that a mahat will never reject or condemn a faulty person, but thinks only how that person may be benefited.
2) Mahattara ("greater person") — A mahattara also sees good and bad qualities in others, but focuses on and praises the good qualities. Seeing a materialistic merchant, a mahattara will think, "Although he is a sense-gratifier, he takes good care of guests and is worthy of deliverance."
3) Mahattama ("especially great person") — A mahattama sees whatever good qualities others have and magnifies them, not seeing even the smallest fault. Viswanath describes their attitude, "This person has stolen my cloth because he is cold, and though he has a weapon, he doesn't attack me because he is merciful. He is virtuous."
4) Ati-mahattama ("extremely great person") — An ati-mahattama sees good qualities in others even where there are none. Their attitude is, "In this world there are no bad people. Everyone is good."
In the same purport, Viswanath also delineates four types of asādhus, wicked or bad persons, who are characterized according to their propensity for fault-finding:
1) Asādhu ("wicked person") — An asādhu sees some good qualities in others but presumes that eventually those good qualities will be overshadowed or spoiled by some fault. For example, upon seeing someone working for another person's benefit, the asādhu will conclude that eventually he or she will want to exploit the person whom they are helping. Simply put, asādhus are not gentlemen.
2) Asādhutara ("very wicked person") — An asādhutara is even more improper. He or she sees only faults in others and overlooks others' good qualities. "This sannyāsī eats ghee rice to fill his stomach. He is lusty and should be considered fallen."
3) Asādhutama ("especially wicked person") — An asādhutama takes small faults and magnifies them, seeing no good qualities at all. Viswanath gives an example: An asādhutama will criticize and condemn a renunciate as being a "bogus rascal", for the fault of giving up the forest and living in the house of a married man. The asādhutama will conclude, "His obvious motivation is only to steal the money of that householder."
4) Aty-asādhutama ("extremely wicked person") — An aty-asādhutama sees faults in all others, even where there are no faults. "In this world, or in this society, no one is good. Everyone is evil." They are the very worst.

For some reason (cut and paste) the words A mahattara became Amahattara and A vaisnava became Avaisnava. Taking the meaning to let's say — wrong level.
pustakrishna says : Log in to Reply
These are wonderful qualities to contemplate…the goal being to dive deeper into Krishna consciousness, perceiving everything in relation with Krishna. Interestingly, we can perceive that the world we live in is made of Krishna's lower energy, apara-prakriti, and that the souls that are life itself are of the Para-prakriti, part of Krishna's higher energy. But, both are Krishna's energies and property. Everything is "strung upon Krishna like pearls on a thread". Somehow or other, we find truth and freedom (freedom from the illusory conceptions) when we accept Krishna as the Proprietor…The Truth Shall Set you Free!
Again, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu applauds that giving honor to others (amanina manadena) is an important quality if one wants to be qualified to remember the Holy Names always. Enlightenment also means understanding what is best for oneself, and what is best for everyone. Our problem spirals out of control when we also find fault with the fault-finders. There is no end to that snare. Therefore, the positive quality must be applauded as most beneficial. Godhead is Light, Nescience is darkness…where there is Godhead, there is no darkness." The positive is what we are searching for, the positive is the source of love and joy, the positive is Krishna, Who created this world out of compassion for the fallen and envious souls, to give them the opportunity to return to their Krishna consciousness by association with vaishnavas and the Holy Names.

Replacing the Power Supply in HP and Compaq Desktop PCs
Before you begin
- You need a flathead screwdriver.
- Remove the Pocket Media Drive, if it is present.
- Turn off the computer, and then disconnect all cables. Disconnect the Ethernet or modem cable before disconnecting the power cord.
- Transfer the computer to a clear, flat, stable work surface over a non-carpeted floor.
- HP strongly recommends the use of an anti-static wrist strap and a conductive foam pad when working on the computer.
- Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
- Because you must install the replacement power supply in the same orientation as the original part, write down the orientation of the power supply onto a piece of paper; high-connector or low-connector.
WARNING:The edges of metal panels can cut skin. Be careful not to slide skin along any interior metal edge of the computer.
CAUTION:This product contains components that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). To reduce the chance of ESD damage, work over a noncarpeted floor, use a static dissipative work surface (such as a conductive foam pad), and wear an ESD wrist strap connected to a grounded surface.

Today brings a significant victory for all who opposed the Missouri Department of Revenue's unethical, illegal scanning of personal documents. Governor Jay Nixon signed into law Senate Bill 252, which prohibits the DOR from keeping copies of personal documents (used when obtaining a driver's license or concealed-carry permit) and requires that the DOR destroy already-obtained documents by the end of this calendar year. The grassroots got engaged in a big way on this issue. Their legislators, and now the Governor, have responded to their concerns!
Many thanks to our legislative allies and grassroots supporters for keeping the pressure on Governor Nixon and his administration. This is a certain victory for privacy rights in the state of Missouri!

Looking for a good perch: 80 parrots, macaws
Parrots and macaws are loud, sometimes aggressive, long-lived and smart enough to require years of intellectual and social stimulation. Plenty of people end up regretting such a pet. Now a Rhode Island man who runs what he calls an orphanage for the birds must find a new location soon.
The Associated Press
SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. — Maybe 10 times a week, someone calls Steve Lazicki looking to get rid of a parrot. They're too loud, too demanding and sometimes just too long-lived.
Now, the shelter that Lazicki calls his orphanage may have to close its doors.
The commercial building where Lazicki runs his Birdhouse and Rescue is slated for demolition because the owner plans to redevelop the area. Lazicki and the 80 strays in his care must be out by Dec. 30.
With affordable space hard to come by, it isn't easy to find enough room to accommodate dozens of the large, loud birds. Raising his voice over the squawks and squeaks of the macaws, parrots and cockatoos, Lazicki says he worries about his flock's future.
"They're my kids," said Lazicki, 67, an Army veteran and former aerospace machinist who has run the shelter for 17 years. "They're very intelligent. They need a lot of attention. People often buy a parrot without any idea of what they're getting into."
The shelter takes in abused and abandoned parrots and works to find them new homes. More than 50 have been adopted so far this year, but there's a steady stream right behind them.
After cats and dogs, birds are America's third most popular pet. Parrot popularity began to soar a few decades ago.
The 1970s television show "Baretta," whose title character had a cockatoo, is cited as one reason for the surge in popularity. While it's now illegal to import most parrots into the U.S., breeders have stepped in to supply the market.
Many owners, however, aren't prepared for the challenges and decades-long commitment of caring for parrots and their relatives.
With the intellect approaching that of a human toddler and a life span much longer than a dog or cat, parrots demand years of intellectual and social stimulation. They're loud and sometimes aggressive, and many species can outlive their owners.
"They were a fad pet, and millions were sold for years, and now the problem is coming home to roost," said Marc Johnson, founder and CEO of Foster Parrots, an organization that operates New England's largest parrot sanctuary out of a former chicken farm in Hopkinton, R.I.
Lazicki tries not to bond too much with birds likely to be adopted, because doing so might make it harder for the bird to adapt to a new home. Still, he knows his charges by name and personality.
Mabel the macaw distrusts men. Dukie, an African gray parrot, is a jokester despite a missing eye. Merlin the macaw loves children because he used to live with a 4-year-old boy.
"When you take in a bird, you become its flock," he said.

Women's crew looks to build on the strong results of its second and third boats from 2010-11 to gain greater top end speed in its varsity crew for 2011-12. "We want all of our crews going fast, not just one or two crews," said third-year Head Coach Pat Tynan. "We've got a fantastic group returning led by senior captain Greer Dent '12. Greer is coming off a summer of competitive racing so she's really hitting the ground running. She will also have the support of the rest of the senior class to help to set the right examples for the younger women.
"Becky Gillig '12, Yara Cass-Gergi '12, Erin Kelly '12, Alexa Atamanchuck '12 and Emma Overton '12 will provide the senior leadership necessary for a successful team. There is also a strong group of freshmen who will, no doubt, put some pressure on upperclassmen and find themselves in the top crews. We have good depth right now and had a number of freshmen (Megan Nash '14, Kayla Cloud '14, Isabelle Gauthier '14 and Clare Doyle '14) rowing in our varsity crew last spring. They handled that pressure very well last year and will go into their sophomore year with some great racing experience."
The team will inaugurate fall fall racing at the Textile River Regatta in Lowel, Mass. October 2 while also competing in the Head of the Connecticut, the Head of the Charles and the Head of the Fish Regatta during the month of October. There is no easing into the racing schedule as the Cardinals will see strong competition right off the bat including Wellesley, Trinity and Williams. "We want to be the best and we're going to do what it takes to get that done," said Tynan. "The team is building the culture needed to go fast. We're reinforcing good decisions and effort. We focus on the kinds of behavior we want more of."

Needle stick
- 0Feb 4 by BeautifulDisasterEster day was my first day in the MICU and as a nurse ... While drawing blood from an Aline I punctured my thumb. I was so embarrassed I didn't report it. The patient seemed to be low risk. I let it bleed and washed it off. I don't know what to do.
- 2Feb 4 by ArmaniX, BSN, RNWhat did you puncture yourself with while drawing from an A-line? Does your system not have needleless devices? You were wrong (in my opinion) to not report this. You need to do the follow up required with needle sticks. It would be a shame if what you classified as "low risk" ended up carrying something that you are now infected with and go untreated.
- 1Feb 4 by Nalon1 RN/EMT-PReport it now. If you end up with something from this patient you will not be covered.
It can also help it from happening again (to you and others) if they can figure out what happened.
I too am curious how it happened.
- 1Feb 5 by MrChicagoRNYeah, it's embarrassing, but it's happened to most of us.
You can't tell whether someone is low risk just by looking at them. Report it, it, they'll draw some baseline labs, and you'll have peace of mind.
- 0Feb 5 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorYou need to report this....I am curious however why you needed a needle to draw off an arterial line.
- 1Feb 5 by PacoUSA, BSN, RNHow do you know the person doesn't have undetected HIV or Hep C? Do you really know everything about this patient to determine that the patient is low risk, especially on your first day in the MICU and with this patient? You need to report this. The longer you wait, the worse it gets especially if you really caught something. Not my purpose to scare you, just to make you aware of the gravity of this situation.
Sent from my iPad using allnurses.com
- 0Feb 5 by Ruby VeeReport it now. I'm not sure how a person can "look low risk." My former brother-in-law wears suits to work and looks very clean, prosperous and probably low risk. He has Hepatitis C. He was diagnosed with it in New Jersey but now lives in California where he admits that it isn't in his medical record for some of the specialists he sees. "If I have to tell someone, I will," he says. "But I don't want everyone to know I have it." Yes, that's irresponsible and just plain wrong on so many levels, but the guy is a jerk.Last edit by Ruby Vee on Feb 5 : Reason: Because I can
- 0Feb 5 by AliceTroutI am a new nurse too..and I have already made some pretty boneheaded mistakes myself. I know it is humiliating and nauseating to tell your preceptor you made a idiotic mistake - but you just have to do it. For your safety, the patients safety, and because being honest is the ethical thing to do.
You might be surprised by their reaction when you self report an error anyway. My nurse educator actually hugged me for self reporting one of my oopsies. LOL.
- 0Feb 5 by JeanOfAllTraitsI think you get the on going theme. Exposures happen to all of us. Report it and learn. Welcome to MICU and congrats on stating your career!

Nicole Cabell (soprano): Ricky Ian Gordon (piano)
rec. September 2011, Blue Griffins Studio, The Ballroom
Ricky Ian Gordons settings of Langston Hughess poems seem to present some problems. Firstly, Hughess poems are largely variable. Second, they seem in any case to aspire to the condition of a readymade lyric. Third, this should therefore present no impediment since some composers (Elgar) seem famously inspired by mediocre poetry.
Indeed, Gordons music meets the frequently weightless poems head-on, extracting nuance after nuance. His piano pointing is full of suggestive subtlety. He suggests a small group Jazz band in the left hand in Harlem Night Song where swing is the operative word. In Dream Variations Hughes fatuously plays upon white day and black night in a colour-conscious piece of whimsy that might have passed muster in Harlem in 1930 but doesnt now. Gordon responds with show tune-like music that might suggest the poems fantasy feelings. The problem with Hughes is the weight of Harlem Renaissance he has had to bear, which is hardly his responsibility, but it has encouraged composers to highfalutin responses. Gordon is largely guiltless of these and he responds well to the lustiness of Port Town or to the mordant Gospel Blues of Song for Dark Girl, a Strange Fruit topic.
The ten song cycle Genius Child leaves a mixed impression. There is some acute word setting, not least the reference to the piano in To Be Somebody which encourages the accompaniment. Strange Hurt has a habanera like rhythm; the drifting piano harmonies in My People are effective. Joy again references the show tune spirit of which Gordon is, at times, arguably too fond.
So much for the message. The messenger, with the composer at the piano, is soprano Nicole Cabell, winner of the 2005 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition. And there, alas, we must leave things. Cabell seems wholly unsuited to these songs. Her responses are generalised and operatic; her diction can be mushy; her tone is hard and unyielding; and theres a strange oscillation in her vibrato. Ive heard Cabell before on disc and she sounded then like a good singer, so I can only think that this is a case of a singer not suiting the song, and vice versa.

Great Britain's Fed Cup promotion bid remains on track after they beat Hungary 2-1 on Saturday.
Singles wins for Laura Robson and Heather Watson gave Judy Murray's team an unassailable 2-0 lead in the tie to book a Europe/Africa Group Zone I play-off against Bulgaria on Sunday.
But Robson and Johanna Konta were unable to complete a whitewash as they lost 6-4 2-6 6-2 to Reca-Luca Jani and Katalin Marosi in the doubles to leave the final match score 2-1 to Britain.
Robson overcame a major first-set scare to put GB ahead in Eilat, Israel.
The British number two was troubled by a shoulder problem as she lost the opening set 6-0 to Greta Arn, a player ranked almost 100 places below her.
However, Robson recovered to post a 0-6 6-2 6-1 victory.
Watson had fewer problems in beating Timea Babos 6-3 6-2.
She had a slight wobble in the first set when she squandered a 3-0 lead with a double-break as Babos fought back to 3-3.
However, Watson duly won the next three games to win a see-saw set and extended that run to six at the start of the second.
At that point, with her hopes hanging by a thread, Babos required treatment on a foot injury and although she was able to continue, Watson soon wrapped up a straight-sets win.
The result means GB finish top of Pool B and now face Pool D winners Bulgaria, who boast former Wimbledon semi-finalist Tsvetana Pironkova in their line-up, on Sunday to decide which nation progresses to April's World Group II play-offs.

Kid-Dish: Madonna Celebrates Son Rocco's Bar Mitzvah
All the Jewish celebrity parent gossip you (n)ever wanted to know.
– Mazel Tov, Rocco! This weekend, Madonna and ex-husband Guy Ritchie joined together to celebrate their son Rocco's bar mitzvah at the Kabbalah Centre in New York City, where Madge frequents. My only question is did his bar mitzvah have a theme, and is there any possible way they invited Shaun Sperling to perform his famous bar mitzvah dance? (Us Weekly)
– Last week we shared the good news that Busy Philipps welcomed her second child, a healthy baby girl. This week we share the (you decide if it's good) news that she's named the baby Cricket Pearl. That means her daughters are named Birdie and Cricket. But before you make fun, Philipps herself has already beat you to it when she Tweeted, "It's weird people think my kids will be in therapy because of their names. Guys, my kids will be therapy for LOTS of reasons, I'm sure." (CBS)
– Top Chef: Just Desserts host Gail Simmons has announced she's pregnant with her first child, which means it's time for me to announce that I am already insanely jealous of that fetus because just think about all that access to desserts. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
– Isla Fisher went shopping with her daughters Olive, 5, and Elula, 2. Elula was rocking some Hello Kitty slippers because obviously she is awesome. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)

Halloween. Its a night that our pals across the pond in the U.S love. We here in Blighty have tried our best to embrace it, but usually it consists of scally kids who make the minimum of effort costume wise and expect cash when knocking on a stranger's door.
For all my slight negativity of the night, I do like Halloween. If you let your imagination conjure up the notion of it being different to any other night, it is a spooky evening. Its also a good reason to dig out some old games that spook the crap out of you. Here's a brief rundown of some to try…
Project Zero (PS2/XBOX) – Criminally overlooked in Europe, the game known as Fatal Frame in Japan, is survival horror with ghosts. The idea here is to scare away the ghostly attackers by taking a photograph of them. But for the best results, the nearer the ghost is the better. A test of nerves and genuinely creepy.
Resident Evil (Gamecube) – An obvious choice, but choice of format is important here. The remake of the original Resi even now looks amazing, and takes an already classic game and makes it that bit more unsettling.
Eternal Darkness (Gamecube) – Another Cube game, Eternal Darkness is one weird game. On the face of it, its a third person action game, but playing it and experiencing those insanity moments has to be done, especially on Halloween night.
Doom 3 (XBOX/PC) – Sci-fi horror leaves me a little cold, but it was a close call between this and Dead Space to fill that genre in this list. Doom 3′s insistence on having to lower your weapon to use your flashlight to see what horror lies ahead, pips Isaac Clarke's nightmare for me.
Dr Franken (Gameboy) – At the time it was released, this was one of the most detailed games graphically, anyone had squeezed out of the GB's monochrome screen. Legging it around Frankens castle looking for your girlfriends body parts is creepy, but adding in a Gameboy version of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata to score the game, is genius and creates a unique atmosphere rarely seen on the GB.
Silent Hill 2 (PS2) – Silent Hill 2 is what Christopher Lee would be in game form. Mostly quiet, unassuming and almost charming, until that bloody alarm goes off and everything changes. Taking most things that make normal human beings cringe or cower, Silent Hill 2 improved on the PSOne original and doubled everything. Hell, it even made for a half decent movie.
What games give you the chills on Halloween?

I volunteered with WAVES three years ago in 2009. I am currently writing this in Lima at the beginning of hopefully a ten month stay with the charity. I think this stands as testament to the effect the place has on you. Once you have visited you do not forget it and will likely move mountains to get back!
More feedback
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?

I believe Trader Joe's has a mango sausage.
And someone has mentioned Aidell's before.
I haven't tried theirs yet. I took a look at
the price and decided to wait until I hit the
lottery. I have had TJ's (at least I'm pretty
sure it was mango) and it's very nice.

This groundbreaking book shows readers the glorious design of women before the fall, describes how the feminine heart can be restored, and casts a vision for the power, freedom, and beauty of a woman released to be all she was meant to be.

One Night Standard
By Erwin Jaeger
standing in a closet elevator
going down through the floors
as my feet feel numb
My shirt is ripped & bloody
My eyes watering from the smoke
My pants are soaked from pre-cum and sweat
My heart is pumping faster to compensate for the lack of oxygen
My wallet is empty of razors, rubbers, money & cigarettes
I'm too far from death & too close to live to see its benefits.
|my stomach is a mess
and the only thing that I can think of
without blessing the floor with my inner most...last meal
Is that one night standards aren't for everyone and
everyone deserve to know it!
High School Memories
By Erwin Jaeger
Dare I dream of A time and place
Were everyone did know my face
but all did fail to see
the face and mask that shadowed me
Sleeping days and moon lit nights
where all my work was done with flights
of bitter cool insanity
where nightlife was a mystery
I'd job the job and walk the walk
Id mock the chicks, the geeks the jocks
And rage in total apathy
Blind to those so close to me

Isra Udin, like many people from the small rural town of Khewa, thinks that the U.S.-led war has brought them peace, education and hope for a better future.
"The biggest change is in the education," says Isra Udin, 12 years. "It is open to the female now. Everyone can attend regular schools, not just religious schools. Before, boys could only study the Koran. Now I can study many important subjects."
But even though there have been improvements, serious problems still remain. They are problems that, if not solved, may result in new violence and affect basic human rights.
One of the greatest challenges facing the people of rural Afghanistan is the shortage of jobs. Many farmers grow poppies, which are sold to other countries and made into illegal drugs. Poppies are one of the few crops that can grow in the dry region and provide enough profit to allow farmers to feed and support their families.
But that is changing. Last year President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, the United Nations, and many foreign governments, including the United States, put a lot of pressure on farmers to stop growing poppies. To convince the farmers, the international community and the Afghan government told the farmers they would receive money and new jobs.
Unfortunately, very few farmers have received any assistance, even though almost a year has passed since the promises were made.
The farmers who followed the law and did not grow poppies are facing financial problems. "The United Nations and the United States all promised to help us find other ways to earn a living, but the money and help never came," says Kalima Gul, a former poppy farmer. "This year many farmers have debts they cannot repay."

I can't say I'm taking a walk every single day, but I do it very often and it's easier as I now walk home from work (about 4km). I try to go for a walk on weekends too and it's not that difficult as I usually listen to my favourite music during these walks.
It has ben suggested that among other things, physical activity helps to prevent depression. I don't know if it's the long autumn, vitamin D capsules, walking or all of the abovementioned together, but this year I have very successfully avoided the winter blues

The Institute of International Education has a long history of providing emergency assistance to students and scholars facing emergencies around the world. Through the Emergency Student Fund (ESF), IIE is able to respond to urgent crises in an immediate and effective manner by providing financial support to students when emergencies in their home countries threaten to jeopardize the completion of their studies.
IIE's Emergency Student Fund provides grants to post-secondary international students matriculated at accredited educational institutions outside their home countries whose sources of support have been impacted by natural disaster or other crises.
For example, these funds, which are often matched by host universities, enable students to continue paying tuition and replace essential items such as books and computers damaged in natural disasters. The Emergency Student Fund may also provide urgently-needed medical equipment and care to students facing serious illness or disability.
In response to specific emergencies, IIE will issue a call for applications to the Emergency Student Fund. In general, students must be nominated by their host universities, which are also encouraged to provide as much support to students as possible.
Building on a Freeman Foundation designation of $2.5 million for emergencies involving students from East and Southeast Asia studying in the U.S., IIE is issuing a request to donors around the world to support this fund for other world areas. Since 2010, IIE's ESF has provided over $1 million in emergency grants to over 400 students from Japan, Haiti, Libya, Thailand, Phillipines and Syria whose home sources of financial support were impacted by crisis or natural disaster. The Institute seeks to have a fund in place so that IIE can respond quickly to help students when disasters and emergencies arise. To support IIE's Emergency Student Fund, please make a donation now and designate your gift by entering "ESF" in the gift designation field.

Our Publications
GWPC and its partnering organizations have produced several reports and publications related to groundwater, source water, UIC, and oil and gas. Publications range from broad topic area pamphlets written for laymen and the general public, to more in-depth reports on topics such as shale gas and state groundwater regulations and processes.
White Paper II Summarizing a Special Session on Induced Seismicity
The topic of induced seismicity, or earthquakes caused by human activities, and in particular seismicity associated with hydraulic fracturing and disposal wells, has been the source of heightened interest and controversy over the past several years. To help disseminate factual information on the subject, the Ground Water Protection Council (GWPC) and its research arm, the Ground Water Research and Education Foundation (GWREF), decided to include sessions on induced seismicity in two of the organization's 2013 conferences.
An Assessment of State Needs for Regulating Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide
This report lays a foundation for states to accurately project additional personnel and associated costs and supporting capital outlay for a Class VI primacy program for "large-scale" geosequestration. The Underground Injection Control (UIC) program, expected to be the resident instrument for implementing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's sequestration regulatory program, has provided the framework for the safe and effective isolation of fluids injected underground for 30 years.
White Paper Summarizing 2012 Stray Gas Incidence & Response Forum
The purpose of the Forum was to explore the technical and scientific basis for stray gas investigations including the fundamentals of the physical and chemical properties of methane, and factors that influence the occurrence, migration, and fate of methane in the shallow subsurface environment. The conference agenda was structured to address the diverse topics and issues that should be considered during the course of an emergency stray gas incident response.
White Paper Summarizing 2013 Session on Induced Seismicity
This special technology transfer session for seismologists, regulators, and other stakeholders entitled "Assessing & Managing Risk of Induced Seismicity by Injection" was a part of the GWREF Spotlight Series.
State Oil & Gas Regulations Designed to Protect Water Resources
A review of state regulations designed to protect water from oil and gas activities.
State Oil & Gas Agency Groundwater Investigations
The role of state oil and gas agencies in protecting groundwater through investigation and regulatory reform.
Shale Gas Primer
A primer on the development of shale gas reservoirs through hydraulic fracturing and other means.
Injection Wells: An Introduction to Their Use, Operation and Regulation

Carnahan Recovers Over $145,000 for Missouri Investors Caught in Foreign Currency Trading Scheme
Jefferson City, MO Secretary of State Robin Carnahans office today secured $146,050 in restitution for eight investors who suffered heavy losses when their broker, an agent of Princor Financial Services Corporation, inappropriately placed their savings in a foreign currency trading program.
Princor, with an office in Chesterfield, has agreed to reimburse investors as a result of the firms failure to supervise one of its agents, Dorian Saunders, and his outside trading activity.
During these tough economic times, investors should always double check to make sure the investments they are getting into are legitimate, said Carnahan. I am pleased that we were able to stop this scheme and get these investors their savings back.
Beginning in early 2007, Saunders opened accounts for some of his Princor clients at a foreign currencies trading firm run by his brother. Saunders recommended that these clients cash in investments that he had previously sold them and invest that money in foreign currency trading. The eight clients who invested in foreign currencies through Saunders eventually lost all of their funds.
I was told that I would get regular checks in the mail, but months went by and nothing ever showed up said Shirley, a St. Louis area investor. I trusted him when he promised this was a good investment. Now I know that I should always check it out first.
The consent order entered today finds that Princor was aware of Saunders outside foreign currencies trading, and requires Princor to pay back all of the funds lost by the eight impacted investors, six of which reside in Missouri.
I feel like I was preyed on by my broker, said Michael, an investor from Bourbon, Mo. I was cleaned out of $7,000 and left with a balance of 25 cents. Its good to know that this incident is not going unpunished and that the company is taking responsibility for its employee.
In November, Saunders was barred from the securities industry. Saunders selling away or completing transactions for Princor clients outside the firms books and records is specifically identified as a dishonest or unethical business practice under Missouri law. In addition to paying full restitution to the investors, Princor has also agreed to make a $75,000 payment to the Missouri Investor Education and Protection Fund, and to pay the costs of the Divisions investigation.

"This was an easy dough to make. I made this as the base for an apple tart (Ontario Northern Spy apples) and it came out quite nicely, considering I'm really not a practiced pastry chef. I added a couple of spoons of potato starch, a pinch of guar gum and a little powdered ginger into the mix. You really need to use the full amount of shortening. I..."
"I thought this would be good, but I didn't know it would be THIS GOOD! I used it with a package of extra lean ground turkey and it's got so much FLAVOUR! Thanks for a classic keeper. (I also don't buy commercial taco seasoning because of the MSG content.)"
"Amazing sauce, great authentic flavour, thanks! I made a Chinese pork stir fry with it. I didn't use hoisin and substituted ginger crushed in the garlic mincer. Because I cooked less meat, I used one spoon of honey, one of brown sugar, and one heaping teaspoon of five-spice and found it perfectly sweet enough. Served with rice, beansprouts, and m..."
"Perfect, easy dinner when you're wondering what to make with ground beef.I put the mix of spices and salt in the coffee grinder, adding also a little coriander seed, then worked that into the ground beef with a little olive oil, though I didn't have time to marinate it. I made one large flat patty and grilled it under the broiler in the oven, ..."
"This recipe is a family favourite for comfort food, and has been for a few years. I don't use the cornstarch in the meat, and usually substitute the flour with cornmeal or cornflour. As other reviewers suggest, ingredients can be added and substituted with ease. Thanks!"
"This is a very easy marinade, perfect because the apple juice adds a touch of sweetness. I marinated it overnight, so it was very tender. I used garlic powder because it distributes more evenly, and less vinegar than the recipe called for. My husband really liked the flavour, and we'll make this again."
"Great flavour! This recipe also works great for oven fried chicken (we used legs). I changed the recipe a little to avoid MSG - so skipped the tomato soup mix, and instead of using garlic and onion powders I added a little fresh into the blender. As it was going in the oven and not being deep-fried, I substituted bread crumbs for flour. I used coo..."
"A huge hit with everyone: I made a kilo for a dinner party and there were none left over. I made these using 2/3 ground veal and 1/3 spicy pork sausage meat to give it a mild bite. I didn't have lemon juice but the flavour was still terrific. Instead of regular flour I thickened the roux with potato flour. I didn't separate the eggs, just beat t..."
"BEST COOKIES EVER!!! These cookies are perfect in texture, delicious, fast and easy. I made them for my husband who has a sweet tooth but likes something that's also healthy.

"Delicious hot or cold and perfect when you are having guests in the summer, since they can be made in advance. My guests and husband loved these, and they are so easy to make (though they also disappear fast). I also added a dash of raspberry balsamic vinegar to them, which made the flavour, which is already quite intense, even more tangy."

Authors are being sought to write a manual to help users meet the requirements of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers' (ASHRAE) residential ventilation standard.
The proposed manual will apply to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2003, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings, which is the only nationally recognized indoor air quality standard developed solely for residences.
"The manual will assist users in understanding the principles upon which the standard is based, the requirements of the standard and how those requirements may be met," David Grimsrud, Ph.D., chair of the Standard 62.2 committee, said. "It will provide explanations of the standard's requirements and examples of its application."
The Standard 62.2 manual is one of nine proposals for research and special projects released for bid by ASHRAE. Bids are due Dec. 15, 2004 and projects are scheduled to begin April 1, 2005.
The manual will provide a thorough explanation of several requirements such as rationale of formulas, and examples provided. The manual will detail mechanical ventilation system choices, combustion appliance considerations, and design of kitchen and bathroom ventilation and filtration.
The standard recently was proposed for inclusion in the 2006 International Residential Code. Since the standard likely will be adopted by code bodies, the association says several issues should be explained more thoroughly, such as rationale of formulas, and examples provided.
The other projects for bid are:
1216-TRP, Inlet Installation Effects On Bi/Airfoil Centrifugal Fans, Air and Sound. It is sponsored by ASHRAE's technical committee (TC) 5.1, Fans.
1235-TRP, The Nature, Significance and Control of Solar Driven Vapor Diffusion in Wall Systems, sponsored by ASHRAE TC 4.4, Building Materials and Building Envelope Performance, and 4.2, Weather Information.
1245-TRP, Determine the Effects of Duct Fittings on Air Velocity Measurements, sponsored by TC 1.2, Instruments and Measurement, and TC 7.7, Testing and Balancing.
1300-TRP, Maximum Velocity of Make-Up Air for Smoke Management Systems in Atria and Other Large Spaces , sponsored by TC 5.6, Control of Fire and Smoke.
1301-TRP, Quantification and Ventilation Effectiveness for Air Quality Control in Plant and Animal Environments, sponsored by TC 2.2 Plant and Animal Environments.
1302-TRP, Comparison of Gas Phase Air Filtration Equipment Lab Tests to Field Experience, sponsored by TC 2.3, Gaseous Air Contaminants and Gas Contaminant Removal Equipment.

A 22-year-old woman is critical after being allegedly gang-raped by 13 men on the orders of village elders in India's eastern state of West Bengal, reports say.
The elders meted out the rape as punishment for the woman's involvement with a man from another community. The 13 men involved in ordering the punishment and in the rape have been arrested, reports said.
"It's horrific. They (rapists) are all our neighbours and I call some of them as kaka (uncle) and some others as dada (elder brother) or bhai (brother)," said a report in The Hindustan Times newspaper, quoting the woman.
The elders, who form what is known locally as "salishi sabha" (Greivance Committee), spelt out the punishment though they do not have any status under the Indian legal system.
Such illegal 'kangaroo' courts prevail in several parts of rural India and have a reputation for being ultra-conservative and ruthless in dealing with anyone who defies social mores and customs.
According to reports on Thursday, the rape occurred earlier this week at Subalpur village in Birbhum district, some 200km from the provincial capital Kolkata.
The purported offence was committed when the man from another community was seen at the woman's house. The village chief and his associates reportedly asked them to pay a fine of Rs 25,000 ($400) each for the "indiscretion".
Unable to pay fine
While the man was able to pay the fine, the woman's family was unable to do so, reports said. The woman, on the orders of the kangaroo court, was forcibly taken away and reportedly raped through the night before being sent back home the next morning.
The family complained to the police who arrested the 13 and then helped the girl to hospital in a critical condition, reports said.
"Prima facie, she was gang-raped and we have rounded up 13 persons," said agencies, quoting Prashanta Chowdhury, Assistant Superintendent of Police.
West Bengal recently witnessed another incident in which a woman was raped twice by the same gang and then set on fire, causing a massive uproar across the state.
Some four years earlier, in a similar incident, a young tribal girl was paraded naked in the same district for her alleged affair with a boy from a different community, again sparking huge protests.
The state, under the rule of Trinamool Congress, an offshoot of the Congress, has been in the spotlight for a series of rapes in the last two years. West Bengal topped states in crimes against women in 2011 and 2012, reports said, quoting data from the National Crime Records Bureau.

Graphic Novel Friday: Best of the Year So Far
Earlier this week, we unveiled our 2011 Best Books of the Year So Far store, and the editors' picks cover thirteen subject categories and an overall Top 10. If you are a regular reader of our Graphic Novel Friday column (thanks, Mom!), several of our selections in Comics and Graphic Novels should be familiar--but we still kept a few close to the vest. Our favorites span superhero, indie, young adult, literary, and memoir comics, while a couple picks defy classification. A closer look at all the books follows the jump.
- Mr. Wonderful: A Love Story by Daniel Clowes
- The Cardboard Valise by Ben Katchor
- iZombie Vol. 1: Dead to the World by Chris Roberson and Mike Allred
- Thor by Walter Simonson Omnibus by Walter Simonson and Sal Buscema
- Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol
- Strange Tales II by Various
- Daytripper by Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon
- Life with Mr. Dangerous by Paul Hornschemeier
- Vietnamerica: A Family's Journey by GB Tran
- Mid-Life by Joe Ollman
While many eyes were on the latest from Daniel Clowes, Ben Katchor's The Cardboard Valise is a sleeper hit with critics and readers. The book features obsessed characters in a distorted (sur)reality--one of fiction and whimsy--and not so easily left behind. Similarly, brothers Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon offer half-truths and imagined realities in Daytripper, a look at the life (and deaths) of their protagonist, Brás de Oliva Domingos. The artwork alone makes this a noteworthy selection, enhanced by the Eisner Award-winning colors of Dave Stewart.
Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol earned high praise from Neil Gaiman, who dubbed the author/artist's first full-length graphic novel "[A] masterpiece, of YA literature and comics." As young Anya suffers adolescent growing pains and insecurities, she befriends a ghost who resides at the bottom of a well. It's not the only book on our list to feature the undead, as the far more adult iZombie Vol. 1: Dead to the World, by Chris Roberson and Mike Allred, finds female zombie Gwen Dylan struggling to maintain her cool composure while feasting on the brains of the recently deceased. Her addiction comes with a twist: she unwillingly gains brief memories from those she devours and is driven to solve the mysteries they left behind. It's a sly, hip take on the well-tread (and fed) zombie genre. [See also our interview with Chris Roberson.]
In Vietnamerca: A Family's Journey, GB Tran chronicles his life as the son of immigrants who fled their homeland during the fall of Saigon. In his graphic memoir he uncovers the secret lives of family members before they reinvented themselves in America. Its fragmented narrative is not for the easily frustrated, but the rewards flourish in the layers of history.
A new graphic novel by Paul Hornschemeier is always worth investigating, and Life with Mr. Dangerous delivers in such high form that it had to make our list. A quarter-life malaise creeps into Amy, and she laments what is within her reach while longing for that which is not: a long-distance friendship. Hornschemeier continues to excel at sparse designs and expressions that grow as the pages turn. Please, nobody hand Amy a copy of Joe Ollman's Mid-Life, which finds middle-aged John going through his own personal identity crisis as his family life approaches an imminent meltdown. Thank goodness for the dark humor that pervades the unraveling of hard-spoken truths and marital inadequacies.
Before we spiral too far into self-reflection, there is plenty of escapism in our list, too. Case in point: Walter Simonson's lauded run on The Mighty Thor, collected in its entirety in an oversized, lovingly and faithfully re-colored, almost 1,200 page brick of Norse superheroism. It's classic Marvel comics, full of puffed up dialogue and fists-in-the-air artwork. Meanwhile, the new school cartoonists take on the classic in Strange Tales II, which gives indie creators like Dash Shaw, Jeffrey Brown, Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez, Benjamin Marra, Gene Luen Yang, and more full control over the Marvel Universe. The result is a frenetic, hysterical, and always clever take on the state of modern superhero storytelling.
This year has already seen an incredible output of quality comics, but some must have escaped our radar. Please let us know your favorites in the comments below.
