Ten years ago, in a small dorm room at the University of Maryland, Anthony Casalena set out with a $30,000 loan from his father to change the way websites were built and make it easy for anyone to create one.
Squarespace was born.
Now an industry leading, all-in-one website publishing platform provider, the company marks a milestone this Sunday with its first Super Bowl advertisement, titled "A Better Web Awaits." Read more about the ad and preview it in The Official Squarespace Blog, or on YouTube.
"Our goal was to create a spot that was appropriate for the Super Bowl while also communicating our values," said Casalena, CEO and founder of Squarespace. "The ad clearly establishes our mission as a company: Squarespace helps sets your website apart from the clutter we commonly find all over the web."
Casalena was a member of one of the first cohorts of the Hinman CEOs Program, the nation's first living-learning entrepreneurship initiative, which places entrepreneurial students from all technical and non-technical academic disciplines together in a unique community where they live together, learn about entrepreneurship, and can launch new ventures.
"The Hinman Program is a great facilitator of ideas," said Casalena. "The program can connect you with the people you need to meet. It fosters a more professional way of thinking about a business and exposes you to things you wouldn't see otherwise, such as venture capitalists or evaluating business plans. It is valuable for you to see how all of these things work in the real world."
With 259 employees and offices in New York and Dublin, Squarespace is one of the biggest publishing platforms on the Internet, serving as a basis for millions of websites. Its user-friendly interface underlies a rich and deep publishing platform with a broad set of features.
In addition to dozens of fully customizable templates, each with a unique mobile experience, Squarespace offers simple drag-and-drop website management, blogging capability, modern ecommerce and donation capabilities, social media integration, a full suite of content block types such as photo galleries and events calendars (and no need for plugins), as well as special features for bloggers, photographers, musicians, restaurants and more.
Squarespace offers four mobile applications to complement its web-based service, including blogging app Squarespace Blog, photo gallery app Squarespace Portfolio, analytics app Squarespace Metrics, and idea app Squarespace Note.
From a team of one, Casalena built an award-winning company, as evidenced by:In June 2013, Squarespace's customer care team won a Gold Stevie Award for Customer Service Department of the Year - Computer Services. In April 2013, Squarespace won the People's Voice Award in the Best Home/Welcome Page category in the 17th Annual Webby Awards. In February 2013, Casalena was named one of Forbes' America's Most Promising CEOs Under 35. In both 2012 and 2013, Squarespace was named by Crain's New York Business as one of the Best Places to Work in New York City.
Bootstrapped for six years, Squarespace completed a $38.5 million minority investment from Index Ventures and Accel Partners in 2010. Since then, the company released a complete overhaul of its publishing platform with Squarespace 6, more than doubled is staff and added dozens of features to its system, including its mobile apps.
After the Super Bowl, Squarespace's ad campaign will be expanded nationwide and include TV, digital, social, and out-of-home components. The commercials, created in 60-second and 30-second formats, can be viewed at http://www.squarespace.com starting February 2.

Young People Turning Against Christianity in Greater Numbers
Jeffery Jay Lowder is President Emeritus of Internet Infidels, Inc., which he co-founded in 1995. He is also co-editor of the book, The Empty Tomb: Jesus Beyond the Grave.
- http://www.blogger.com/profile/05211466026535549638 Bradley Bowen
Here is a key passage from that Barna Report:
"One reason that Christianity's image is changing is due to the shifting faith allegiances of Americans. Simply put, each new generation has a larger share of people who are not Christians (that is, atheists, agnostics, people associated with another faith, or those who have essentially no faith orientation). The new book refers to this group as "outsiders" because they are describing what Christianity looks like from an outsider's perspective. Among adults over the age of 40, only about one-quarter qualify as outsiders, while among the 16 to 29 segment, two-fifths are outsiders. This represents a significant migration away from the dominant role that Christianity has had in America."
Wow! 40% of the 16-29 year olds are "outsiders" or non-Christians.
The numbers in the graph seem questionable. I thought that the US was about 80% Christian. If the graph is accurate, this is stunning info.
- http://www.blogger.com/profile/05211466026535549638 Bradley Bowen
Hmmm. My memory was correct. The US is about 80% Christian. Barna divides Christians into two main categories: (1) Born Again Christians, and (2) Notional Christians. In 2005 Born Agains represented 40% of US population, and Notionals were 39% of the population. In 2007, Born Agains went up a tick to 42% of the population (I didn't see a figure for Notionals from 2007). So, 80% is about right for Christians in general.
But this figure does not seem to fit with the graph included in the referenced Barna article.
- http://www.blogger.com/profile/05211466026535549638 Bradley Bowen
The graph in the Barna article indicates that the following % of the age groups identify as Christians:
18-41: 63%
42-50: 73%
50-61: Not indicated in Graph
61+ : 77%
Given the trend, one would expect aprox. 75% of the 50-61 age range to identify as Christians.
This means that the % of people 18 or older who identify as Christians is greater than 63% and less than 77%. If each of the age groups was equal in size, then the overall % of Christians would be: 72%.
But according to other Barna polls, 80% of the population are either born again Christians (based on their beliefs) or are notional Christians (based on self-identification + lack of born again beliefs). So, the numbers in the graph appear to be too low, as far as % of people who identify as Christians.

Top-ranked recipe named "Paleo Cheesecake Swirl Brownies"
Set your oven to 350 F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the brownie ingredients until well combined, and pour into a greased 9×9 oven-safe baking dish.
Add the cream cheese to your mixer bowl and beat until smooth, add the rest of the ingredients and beat until combined.
Dollop the cream cheese batter on top of the brownie batter. Using a knife, or a toothpick, swirl the cheesecake batter into the brownie batter. This would be a great thing for kids to do! Another option would be to remove the vanilla extract and add your favorite extract flavoring to the cheesecake batter; mint, almond, orange, coffee, coconut–would all work well.
Bake for about 35 minutes–until the top has slightly cracked. Serve well chilled, just like cheesecake.

large. Similarly, high discount rates for calculating the present value of future benefits will make those benefits less valuable if provided long into the future. For example, the federal fiscal year 2011 real test discount rate for a 30-year planning horizon was established at 2.7 percent (OMB, 2010). With this discount rate, $1.00 of real benefits received 30 years later would have a 2011 value of 1/1.02730 = $0.45, or less than half. One dollar of benefits received 100 years in the future would either be disregarded as beyond the planning horizon or would have a 2011 value of only $0.07.
A long lifetime in itself also may affect planning for future alternatives. Particular underground development can preclude other uses or make them more expensive to implement. For example, underground transportation tunnels such as the Boston Central Artery project required rebuilding and relocating existing underground utilities in the tunnel right-of-way. Building foundations may make re-use of their underground locations prohibitively expensive, precluding new underground parking, tunnels, or other uses in that location. In effect, underground construction may increase cost and reduce flexibility of options for alternative future uses. Because most underground facilities are left in the ground even after their useful life ends, the extra cost or difficulty of re-using the space continues nearly indefinitely. A comprehensive planning effort would recognize that underground space is a resource that should be used in the best manner possible, rather than letting initial uses preclude later uses. Similar conclusions have been drawn with respect to limiting space debris in orbits around Earth that may prevent use of those orbits for other purposes (e.g., UN, 1999).
In addition to assessing the life cycle of underground infrastructure itself, sustainability suggests that impacts of the infrastructure also be considered for the entire life cycle of a project. Lifecycle assessment "studies the environmental aspects and potential impacts throughout a product's life (i.e., cradle-to-grave) from raw material acquisition through production use and disposal" (ISO, 1997). Figure 5.1 illustrates a generic supply chain life cycle. For underground infrastructure, the supply chain would include the various materials and processes involved in construction as well as inputs such as energy for lighting and ventilation during facility operation. Closure and decommissioning costs would be included in the disposal phase in Figure 5.1. The landfill phase would be expected to include the costs of providing an engineered landfill for disposal or any costs associated with legacy structures underground.
Metrics to use in assessing sustainable development overall, as well as to assess specific economic, environmental, and social impacts, are still a subject of widespread debate even without consideration of the special circumstances of underground development (Jeon and Amekudzi, 2005). Economic impacts are typically expressed in monetary units, but a variety of impacts may be considered for environmental and social impacts. For example, Reijnders (1996) suggests that broad environmental impacts be considered in preparing a lifecycle assessment including:

New Rx: Minimize drug firm influence
Doctors, industry adopt stricter rules
You won't find pens embossed with medication names on Dr. James Hay's desk, and you won't catch him eating sandwiches that pharmaceutical sales representatives deliver to his office.
He stopped accepting gifts from drug makers three years ago, but three of his partners at the North Coast Family Medical Group in Encinitas still do.
"One of the biggest hurdles . . . is overcoming the belief by doctors that what they do is not affected by the drug reps who walk through the door," said Hay, a family physician.
A rising number of health professionals, college administrators and lawmakers want to minimize what they see as the pharmaceutical and medical-device industries' adverse influence on the medical profession through its gifts and complimentary services. They're beefing up codes of ethics, adopting stricter regulations and prompting drug companies to offer their own set of restrictions.
The pharmaceutical industry spent about $57.5 billion on marketing in 2004, the latest year for such data, and most of that money paid for outreach to physicians, according to a February report in the journal PLoS Medicine. The total amount was nearly double what the industry spent researching and developing new treatments.
"If pharmaceutical companies didn't feel that the gifts and promotions improved their sales, they wouldn't be doing it," said Dr. Larry Friedman, medical director of the UCSD Medical Group.
Some medical schools, including those in the University of California system, have banned food, free drug samples and branded gifts – even sticky pads – from drug makers. The UC prohibition also applies to the UCSD Medical Group, which has several locations.
Specialty physician societies, such as the American College of Cardiology, are stiffening their ethics rules. The group recently posted on its Web site every payment it has received over the past five years from drug and medical-device companies. By February, it will list any relationships that exist between medical companies and its officers.
Congress and some state legislatures are considering bills to require public reporting of financial ties between doctors and pharmaceutical firms.
In February, Assemblyman Michael Feuer, D-West Hollywood, introduced a bill to ban each drug maker from giving a doctor more than $250 worth of gifts each year and force disclosure of all gifts worth $50 or more. The proposal failed to win a committee hearing.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, the industry's trade group, has responded to the overall scrutiny by tightening its voluntary code for dealings with health professionals.
The changes, which will take effect Jan. 1, forbid drug marketing representatives from handing out pens, mugs and other "non-educational" gifts. They will still allow catered lunches at doctors' offices and payments to physicians who participate in speakers bureaus or serve as ghost writers of journal articles researched by others.
"The code is designed to make sure the valuable interactions between pharmaceutical companies and health care providers can continue and can be done in a responsible, ethical and professional manner," said Diane Bieri, the group's executive vice president and general counsel.

the ART Drive
Presented by the ART Drive
August 11 - August 12, 2012
On August 11 and 12, the ART drive returns to the Southcoast for its 5th annual exhibit with 28 Dartmouth and Westport artists hosting an open studio weekend. Consisting of some of the area's premiere painters, ceramic artists, photographers, jewelers, woodworkers and others, the ART drive places unique emphasis on a consistent and high level of professionalism and quality in some very unusual and dramatic studio settings. In addition, several of the ART drive venues will also have guest artists exhibiting their work. This year, participating artists are applying their own unique creativity and styles to create large, colorful depictions of Yellow Fin Tuna, another favorite of the South Coast and a species known to the area. Last year's exhibit featured Striped Bass. On August 11 and 12, from 10am to 5pm, stationed outdoors along the Art drive routes--in public spaces and in front of stores, shops, businesses and other sites in Dartmouth and Westport--will be 42 four-foot-long Yellow Fin Tuna. Lovers of the arts will enjoy a great weekend escape while touring these historic 'hidden gem' Southcoast towns in Massachusetts. With only 15 miles separating the thirty studios, visitors will enjoy a casual drive through this picturesque area with ample time to enjoy all the area has to offer.

England lose Cook before lunchComment on this story
Leeds – England lost the wicket of Alastair Cook on a rain-shortened morning on the third day of the second Test at Headingley on Saturday.
England were 80 for one when lunch was taken early after only 55 minutes of play was possible as England, one down in the three-match series, set out in pursuit of South Africa's first innings total of 419.
England captain Andrew Strauss and Cook had to combat some hostile bowling from Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander after resuming at 48 for no wicket.
The first runs of the day came in the fourth over when Strauss glanced Philander for four.
Philander made the breakthrough when Cook played around a straight delivery and was given out leg before wicket by umpire Steve Davis for 24. Cook unsuccessfully sought a review which showed the ball was hitting his middle stump.
Strauss was troubled by some well-directed short balls from Morkel, while new batsman Jonathan Trott, on five, edged Philander just short of Graeme Smith at first slip.
England scored 32 runs in 12.2 overs before rain stopped play. Strauss was on 33 not out and Trott was on six. – AFP

text: I am on the last lap of my master thesis, which has the nice title "Tool Support for Reactive Programming". But what exactly is reactive programming (RP)? It basically just describes systems which are reactive in the sense that they directly adapt to changing inputs or a changing environment in general. If an input value changes, reactive systems directly re-compute the depending output values, so that the outputs always reflect the current inputs. Informally, one can compare RP with spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel. If a value in a cell is changed, all values which depend on that cell are directly re-computed and updated. That is pretty much the idea behind RP. "Reactive Programming – the New Programming Paradigm?" lesen

Historical Traveler Reviews Niagara Plaza Hotel & Conference Centre Niagara Falls
Hated it!
This is the worst hotel in Niagara Falls! How ever does it stay in business? Nevermind the fact that it's unkept and down right dirty...but it also has staff/managment that don't know the first thing about running a hotel.
We had a problem with our reservation...it seems this place goes by a first come first serve basis rather than a reservation system because my room was not gauranteed and I received a very dirty smoking instead of non-smoking. I complained bitterly to no avail! So we left the dump and stayed at a decent motel.
Bad bad very bad hotel(more like a motel). My advise is DO NOT stay at this hotel (no matter what 'great deal' you think your getting) At this hotel you are definitely getting what you pay for...cheap cheap cheap!
They gave our rooms away
i booked and paid for rooms through expedia in april for our july vacation. upon arriving, i was informed that my three tower rooms for my party of 8(ages 9-60) were no longer available. they were going to give us rooms in their courtyard. these rooms are comparable to your less-than-average roadside motel.
so i scrambled through my AAA book to find an alternative hotel. fortunately i did, only after @two hours of aggravation, unloading and reloading our cars, spending who knows how much on my cell phone, spending gas money checking out other hotels, looking really bad infront of my family, etc., etc.
Traveller beware....This hotel is a dump!
I have to say this is the absolutely WORST hotel I have ever seen and have been too! Not only was the place a dump (picutres on website very deceiving) but the staff, and manager in specific, was atrocious!
I start off by saying that I booked this hotel for a special father's day weekend for my husband as it was his first father's day. I made the reservation online weeks in advance and received written confirmation that I was in a Std room, Queen Size bed, Non-Smoking Room (as I requested). Once I got to the hotel...it was another story...
Upon check in, they first could not find my reservation and then they found it (not very organized!)
Then when we got to our room it was 2 double beds instead of the queen size bed. Even though I called and confirmed my reservation 2 days prior and was told I was getting a queen size bed (because I need the extra space to put a play pen) I still received the 2 double beds!
I called down to the front desk and the lady was so rude and told me I would have to wait and she would call me back when she wasn't busy! Can you believe that...TAKE NOTE PARK PLAZA...GIVE YOUR EMPLOYEES SOME TRAINING ON CUSTOMER SERVICE! Any hotel would have fired that girl on the spot! Finally my husband went down and basically they told him that they can't and won't gaurantee the room type even though I had written confirmation...they claim it's preferred room even though it does not state anywhere that the rooms are allocated on first come first serve basis! Their only suggestion was we upgrade to a larger room at an additional $40/night! I DON'T THINK SO! So my husband asked for a full refund so we could take our business elsewhere! They refused and told him were welcome to leave but we were going to be charged the full nights accomodation regardless.
Needless to say we were furious! So my husband called VISA because of our insurance policy and they could not believe that! They have never heard such a threat! And assured us that we were protected.
One thing I cannot stand is to be taken advantage of...so I went off downstairs and asked to speak to the manager...who oddly enough works the front desk (Can anyway say MICKEY MOUSE hotel!) Or so he claims he was the manager! Anyway, I got no where with him either...it took me to raise my voice and make a scene before he baiscally pleaded with me to leave and I told him I would on account he refunded my money...and so he did, reluctantly I might add! He basically said to me that I was wrong and I should have not have expected to receive a Queen Size bed even though I booked a room with a Queen Size bed!
I called around a few hotels after that and asked their opinion of what happened and they were absolutely appauled at the hotels response to our situation and suggested I file a complaint with the Niagara Falls Tourism Board and the Better Business Bureau. I can gaurantee I will be doing that as well.
I wanted to post this review in order to save some innocent travellers from going through the aggrevation that I went through.
The Park Plaza hotel is dirty, and I think if you want a non-smoking room, they just remove the ashtray because not only did the room stink like smoke, but there were cigarette burns all over the carpet. Very very unkept and the staff is very very unknowledgeable! I was not in the hotel for more than a mere 5 minutes when we were witnessing another disatisified travller complaining to a manager.
Anyway, we ended up staying at the Embassy Suites hotel for an additional $40 per night with 2 Queen size beds and a mini kitchenette! It was worth every scent we spent! Great hotel....very friendly and great service! Oddly enough when I was checking in the customer beside received the wrong room from what she reserved and the lady behind the desk appologized and said that they will fix it immediately!
Our stay at this hotel ruined our whole experience.
Firstly, the hotel is not in the best part of town, and there is not much choice in terms of food nearby (only East Side Mario's).
Secondly, we were put in a smoking room, when we requested a non-smoking room. We requested a change, but this did not happen. The person ahead of us in the line was given a non-smoking room was given a non-smoking room, but we werent.
Thirdly, room service took 1 hour to get us our food. When it arrived it was cold. It seems they forgot about us.
Fourth, calls to room service went unanswered.
Fifth, room service did absolutely nothing at 2 am in the morning when someone was yelling in our halls for approximately 45 min (this is the truth...45 min). They allowed it to continue.
Sixth, the parking garage is not safe at all.
Finally, pictures do not do the hotel justice. It isnt as nice as pictures make it seem.
I will never stay at this hotel again, and recommend that you do the same.
Very Satisfied with the Park Plaza!
My girlfriend and I stayed here over the Memorial Day weekend. Overall, we were very pleased with the accomodations. The hotel is located only a short walk from the "tourist strip" and about 10-15 mintues from the Falls. We only took a taxi once because it was late at night. We walked everywhere. I found the area to be very safe and it is located on a major road. The room was only average-sized, but clean. I found the beds to be very comfortable. The walls must have been very thick because we couldn't hear any noises coming from neighboring rooms. We visited the jacuzzi many times, which was very nice. The hotel has an indoor pool as well (the outdoor pool was still closed). A free casino shuttle was very convenient, which left every hour. We also ate at East Side Mario's, which was very good. The only minor complaints I had were that the indoor pool was a little chilly, the hotel was not as close to the Falls as some other (but much more expensive) hotels, and the pool area ran out of towels on two occasions. However, I was very pleased with my stay, I got a great deal from the hotel (about $50.00 per night in a package deal with exepdia), and the staff was very courteous. I would definitely stay here again.
Excellant Staff, and Service
my family and i arrived at about 4pm, and the check-in went smoothly. we were even offered an upgrade, which we took graciously, and thoroughly enjoyed.
as for the neighborhood, it's a nice, local feeling. the walk/drive to the falls area(midway), was swift and easy, no pain.
the service at east side mario's was fantastic. the staff there made you feel "at home".
i plan on taking my family back, sometime soon, and would highly recommend this hotel.
Enjoyed our stay
We really enjoyed our stay at the Park Plaza. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We arrived before the check in time but only had to wait a short time to be checked in. The room although not large was clean and attractive. Our sink plug wasn't working when we got there but as soon as we mentioned it it was fixed. The value of our two night package was fantastic. The food at East Side Mario's was great. Thanks to the staff for a relaxing stay.
Never Disappointed
Stayed at the Park Plaza a few times and were never disappointed; even received an upgrade to a jacuzzi suite on one occasion (denied another but that's ok). Friendly staff, average pool/whirlpool area. Casino shuttle a nice plus. We really enjoying dining at East Side Mario's; great Italian Wedding Soup and desserts, fun atmosphere but it can get loud and busy. Overall a nice hotel, reasonable rates.
Average hotel, nice for the price
We stayed during New years eve 2004 for 4 days in the Jr. Jacuzzi suite. Jacuzzi was nice. One glitch: we ordered a smoking room...when we got there they had ordered us non-smoking. But they fixed that right away. When we got in the room it was clean, and the maids cleaned it every day. One of the drawers in the the dresser was broken. Also the remote control was broken but that was fixed after we left a note for the maid. You have to drive to the falls though you can't walk it's too far away. There are not too many parking spaces for such a big hotel.
One night we had to park on the main street. For the price, it's a good hotel but there is better ones out there closer to the falls.
Worked out fairly well for our tour group
We took a bus tour with Celebration Tours and 50 of us were booked here at once. I suppose glitches can happen with any large group, and they did. So the bad news first: we and some others didn't see our bags for 2 hours after disembarking, and had to call for them, but they were safely stored away.
Then we found that our room was on a smoking floor. My husband is allergic to tobacco, but the desk was "unable"to fix this problem until the tour guide produced our paperwork, and lo, there was a request for a smoke-free room in writing! So a disaster was averted and this review could have been much harsher. (Be warned that Canadians are generally less accommodating of non-smokers' rights than Americans are, so you have to watch out.)
The room was very clean and comfortable and looked newly remodelled on the 4th floor, though other guests reported more worn surroundings. One day, however, we returned at 5 PM to find an uncleaned room, and the maids arrived at 6 PM to do the work, which we had to decline to get ready for our night out.
Like many urban hotels, Park Plaza is not in the greatest neighborhood, but we found the seedy shops colorful from the safety of the bus. The hotel is maybe 2 miles from Niagara falls and reportedly has a shuttle bus to the falls area.
Full breakfast buffet style in the attached East Side Mario's Restaurant was very decent and in charming surroundings.
We didn't stay angry about any of the snafus because they were resolved and at least the staff was polite and civil. And anyhow, we were on a tour, and tour groups rule with hotels.

And, given that it was a David and Goliath affair between a US with ten times the Canadian population (and about that many more soldiers), the fact that the Brits and the Canadian Militia and their First Nations allies managed to force them out of Canada - well, the Canadians regard it as a modest win ... the Yanks?

Score from 468 reviews Very good
good value for money, location, bathtub in the bathroom
a bit small room, not enough space to store dress, desk below not-well insulated windows (cold on hands when working), too few electric sockets
Parking is good enough and free. Staff was reasonably helpful.
Room is really small - it's strange they made it so tiny assuming hotel location. No minibar, hard to find even a wall outlet. It's really far from Delft, shouldn't be really called a Delft hotel.
free parking Asian supermarket, McDonals nearby
Wi-fi connection is week. location is 3km far away from city center, but still fine
Good breakfast
You pay for what you get. Basic, but OK
Good food and helpful staff
Same companile in two different locations, has different rules regarding the payment
Quite comfortable place of easy access even if not central. The personnel were very helpful with advice of best way to get to the hotel.
Staff were very friendly and helpful Restaurant was nice.
Air Conditioning very noisy Asked for a missing light bulb to be replaced (3 times) never happened
this chain is inexpensive and has all the basics, breakfast is good, staff is friendly
location is very isolated from the rest of Delft unless you have a car, too far to walk from the station with luggage and no public bus nearby, had not enough towels in the room, but that was promptly fixed
The breakfast was good especially croissants. Free parking.
The room was cold. When I called the reception the lady said that the heating system doesn`t work in summer and offered me an extra blanket. But the weather was 10 C outside. The kettle was filthy.
There were mosquitoes in the room and the internet connection was quite slow.
great breakfast nice staff
Basic - but the that was what I expected
Hotel was quiet and rooms were of a good size. Location was fine for my needs.
Nothing but just a warning walking at a good pace along quiet roads and not so quiet cycle paths it takes about 30 mins from station and maybe 20 mins to get into the town.
I booked this hotel with a little trepidation because it is near the highway and a bit of a walk from the center of town. I thought it might be noisy. But it is also on the edge of a beautiful park and I was able to rent a nice bike from the hotel for the duration of my stay. It was quiet for sleeping. The bike paths pass right by the hotel and you can ride to the center in less than 10 minutes. Be sure to book a bike in advance, though, because they don't have many. I would stay here again.
If charm is not important, price an issue and you simply need a clean room-this is the place. We also had a goal regarding location/parking. We have family in the Netherlands and always stay in Delft, which is equal distant to everyone. Usually we stay in the historic area. Got tired of the parking hassle,not being close to the highway and no lifts as a general rule. Campanile was perfect. Nice to not pay the exorbitant parking fees in town with the free lot and jump on the the highway ASAP. TV was decent. Bed was surprisingly comfortable. Shower good and strong. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Well......definitely not the historic area. Bland, generic building/ rooms. But, we really just needed a bed. Breakfast was good- but, very pricey. WiFi erratic. At one point had to go in the hallway. Towels thin. We returned one day to find what appeared to be a sump pump hose pumping nasty water from a lower area into the parking lot. Really odiferous!!!!! Luckily- smell did not permeate the rooms. Despite the negatives- we would return. It fits our needs.
For the money you pay you get a clean room and a good wifi
The lady working at the reception in the morning was a bit arrogant. The location is also very bad if you are planing to be within walking distance to the centre.
Functional, clean place to stay within easy access of Delft, Rotterdam etc
Best thing about the hotel had to be the friendly manager who served us beer and chatted away like an old friend when we arrived quite late. The restaurant isn't open at weekends but we were informed that a basic meal can be provided on request. Breakfast is basic but included in the price.
Parking was a little confusing, a little more information as to how to get in and out of the car park which is only free for hotel guests, would have helped.
no family room available, not efficient towels and cups for preparing coffee or tea.
Convenient location. Parking.
Little space in the room.
Very friendly staff
Location and price
Odd machinery noises and the previous days room bedding cart left in hallway
Excellent location, near to A13 motorway. Near to walking distances in Delft, bike rental possibility and free internet connection. Staff very friendly. Food - plenty and good.
good polite easy going staff simple good food menu

Like most businessmen, the founders of a new Web site spend their time schmoozing clients, reporting to investors and promoting their business. But unlike most guys in the biz, they still make time for skateboarding and playing Nintendo and Xbox video games.
Longtime buddies Brice Ginn, Ben Bromberg, Troy Paulson and John Schaus are the brains behind Namastic.com, a new social networking site.
They are all under 22 and represent a growing group of young entrepreneurs who call Scottsdale home. Others include two young Scottsdale businessmen who created a popular energy drink and the founder of a local spa.
The entrepreneurs say the Valley is gaining a reputation as friendly to startups.
"It is a lot different starting here than L.A. or New York or Miami, where it's defi nitely harder, more developed and not much room for new guys to come up," said Mike Jannicelli, 25, creator of Socko energy drink.
Three-and-a-half years ago, Jannicelli teamed up with Jordan Harwood, 31, while they were working at the Axis/Radius bar in Scottsdale.
They tout Socko as more than a drink — it's a way of life — and now travel worldwide and work with celebrities like Hulk Hogan and Sylvester Stallone.
"Overall, the demographics of Phoenix are a good place for anybody to be," Harwood said. "There's a healthy economy and great weather, which is conducive to travel. No typhoons."
For Michelle Novak, 38, Scottsdale's reputation for chic resorts made it a natural choice for her massage and spa business. She started it just three years ago at age 35.
"I was looking for an upscale consumer, and obviously that's what the market entails in Scottsdale," she said. "It's worked very well."
Deron Webb, president of the Arizona chapter of Entrepreneurs Organization, said although the word "entrepreneur" might bring young people to mind, they actually are a rare breed.
"The perception is that they would be young, but most entrepreneurs come out of middle-level management," Webb said. "Either they've been terminated, had a midlife crisis or experienced a change in their life that has caused them to go out and pursue their passion."
But the guys behind Namastic.com don't fit the mold. Their story began just after they graduated from Red Mountain High School in Mesa.
Bromberg and Schaus, both 20, had been running a small T-shirt business out of their parents' backyard. After turning 18, they had already invested in equipment, registered with the state as a limited liability corporation and sold their wares at Superstition Springs Center.
Soon they met Tim and Marie Ralston, creators of the marketing firm, E-Image Agency, who saw something special in them and decided to help.
"I have never met a more motivated group of young kids," Marie Ralston said. "They're going to make an impact in this world."
Before long, Ginn, 20, and Paulson, 21, also were working for Ralston developing Web sites while simultaneously writing a business plan and attracting investors to support their venture.
The site is similar to MySpace.com because it allows friends to log on as part of a community. But it also is a forum for artists and musicians to submit their work, which goes into a contest. The winner in online voting receives a deal to sell works on the site.
Bromberg said the name is from "namasté," a South Asian word that is a peaceful way to say "hello" and "goodbye." He hopes the site will create unity among its users.
"Our whole concept was to create this space online that was clean and world changing," he said in an e-mail.
The friends say that although they dress the part and treat their clients professionally, sometimes they can't escape the perception of being too young.
"We hear that all the time," Paulson said. "We walk in the bank, and it's like, 'What are you doing with this money?' "
And they already have had to learn a few lessons the hard way, including how to deal with expensive equipment that breaks down.
"We learned that we're going to fall on our faces sometimes," Bromberg said. "We're not always going to be right, but it doesn't hurt to try."
Jannicelli and Harwood said they also have learned a few lessons during their years in the beverage business.
"We'll always have challenges, but I feel like they get much bigger," Jannicelli said.
Now, instead of worrying about buying their first fax machine, they have to hire a human resources manager. And instead of one lawyer, they're dealing with hundreds.
The two friends say they'll stay with it while they can still be creative. "We've created something that when people look at it, they say, 'Socko makes me want to smile,'" Harwood said. "Not too many people get to do that for a living."

Touchscreen MacBook conversions aren't new, and in fact if you've got the money then we'll be the first to say that the Axiotron ModBook is a great off-the-shelf OS X tablet. If, though, you don't have the money and you want the accuracy of a Wacom active digitizer, you might have to replicate Wei's iTab project: merging a Wacom Intuos tablet with a first-gen 1.83GHz MacBook.

Porter announced his decision at a news conference on campus Monday with Hoyas coach John Thompson III.
Porter was the Big East player of the year and finished second in the voting behind Michigan's Trey Burke for The Associated Press player of the year award.
Helping a team that was unranked in the preseason reach as high as No. 5 in the AP poll, Porter averaged 16.2 points and 7.5 rebounds, both highs for Georgetown.
The Hoyas were a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament, but lost their opening game to Florida Gulf Coast and finished 25-7.

|Payslips and employment contract
As the employer you must provide your employee with a payslip every time you pay them. The payslip must show their gross wage, the tax and NI deductions made on their behalf, as well as their net wage. Your employee should keep their payslips in a safe place, as they act as proof of earnings when applying for a loan or a mortgage. When you subscribe to Stafftax we send out payslips, monthly or weekly as required, showing all correct deductions.
You must also provide your employee with either an employment contract or a statement of the terms and conditions of their employment within two months of their starting date.
The document should include all terms and conditions that you have agreed upon, including the start date, hours of work, starting salary (which should specify gross or net), holiday entitlement etc. It should also include your agreement to operate PAYE on your employee's behalf. The contract might also include a detailed description of your employee's duties, house rules and disciplinary procedures and any other benefits to which you may make available to your employee (e.g. use of a car or re-imbursement of motoring costs if they use their own vehicle for work).
The contract of employment is a legally binding agreement and obliges both you and your employee to keep to the terms of employment spelled out in it. These terms can of course be changed at any time by mutual agreement.
A standard form of contract is available from Stafftax when you subscribe to our services, and it can be modified to fit the circumstances specific to your particular requirements. If you need help with making changes to the contract don't forget to contact our legal support team, who will be happy to help.
It is your legal responsibility, not your employee's, to ensure that a PAYE scheme is set up and that your employee's income tax and NICs are paid when due. Non-compliance is a criminal offence and may result in a substantial fine.
employment law
|Employing European nationals
Most nationals from the European Economic Area (EEA) can enter and work in the UK without restrictions. You will need to ask nationals from all EEA countries to produce a document showing their nationality since their are specific restrictions for certain nationalities.
|Read more...
employment costs
|Always agree a gross wage with your employee
Employers often agree a net (i.e. take-home) wage with their employee, but in reality they are always paid a gross salary, with tax and National Insurance Contributions deducted and paid to HMRC on a quarterly basis by the employer. Although many domestic employers tend to look on this as an additional cost, it is actually part of the employee's gross wage.
If you agree a fixed net wage you are committing yourself to paying all of your employee's income tax and NI to make up their gross wage, irrespective of their individual tax code or tax position.
Please also be aware that a gross wage is not the total cost to you as an employer. In addition to this you have to pay an Employer's National Insurance Contribution, which is not part of the employee's gross wage. This extra sum will be advised to you when we send your first payslip for your employee.

Dear Bay Weekly:
I just wanted to thank you for Diana Beechener's incredible article on VetDogs [March 24: Working Like a Dog] and on the run April 3. The article, the pictures and everything about it was great, and I've already gotten quite a response from it. I appreciate all of your help.
Expert Advice for Getting the Most from Your Lawn, Garden and Yard
Great style does not have to equate to big dollars. Keep a current issue of Bay Weekly on hand for monthly savings coupons.
Great visuals get KO'ed by an insulting, incoherent script

Chesapeake Bay's most common and perhaps least common catches
Sending out a chartreuse shad dart tipped with a grass shrimp toward the dark water of the far bank, I let it sink for a brief three-count before tightening up my line. Almost immediately there came a sharp tap, and I set the hook. My rod bowed as I leaned into yet another lively white perch.

Every time it rains hard around Annapolis, all hell breaks loose. Mud goes streaming into a creek or streams. Citizen watchdogs start barking. They call the mayor's office and complain that dirt is running off this or that property, usually a development site.

Mother Nature may be sending us a message that our continued enjoyment of her earthly garden is contingent on our good behavior.
When the message of climate change is written in the language of melting ice caps and glaciers, some among us scoff and say Not us! We didn't do it.
So she repeats her message in clearer terms.
Midshipman Ari Schiff raises funds so wounded veterans can benefit from a warm heart and a cold nose
Twenty-one-year-old Ari Schiff knows the value of a dollar. In high school he earned 60,000 of them. Not for a new car or an expensive spring vacation.
Schiff earned this small fortune so that America's VetDogs could offer two assistance dogs to help disabled veterans acclimate to life at home.
Dear Bay Weekly:
It seems that your columnist, Dennis Doyle, is once again using your paper as a forum for his advocacy against commercial fishing and for the Coastal Conservation Association and Maryland Saltwater Sport Fishing Association (week of March 13). It is no secret that both of these groups would like to put commercial watermen out of business so that they can have all the fish for themselves. Thus Doyle's endorsement of a commercial net ban....

NKHS marching band, color guard perform award-winning show Oct. 12October 9th, 2012 at 11:11 am by Kipp Robertson
In case you, the North Kitsap community, hadn't heard; the North Kitsap High School marching band and color guard took first place Sept. 29 at the Peninsula Classic Marching Band Competition in the AAA Division.
North Kitsap's performance, "Masquerade," scored 74.30 in the finals. The score was enough to take first over Peninsula and Black Hills high schools.
The AAA Division is for those in the "large band" category.
The band also won "Best Music Caption" for having the highest music scores overall, according to band director Susan Peters.
The show, with music from the "Phantom of the Opera," will be performed at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12 at North Kitsap Stadium. The show is free and open to the public.
The band's score in an improvement over 2011, when it placed third with a score of 63.28.
The performance Oct. 12 is the annual Community Performance Night, and will be a chance for the band and color guard to practice before heading to a competition Oct. 13 in Tumwater.
Those who attended the North Kitsap homecoming football game Oct. 5 had the opportunity to see the award-winning performance. Below are a few images prior to the game and during the performance itself, during halftime.

The rundown: One World Series player and his attempt to steal third | Kipp's CornerAugust 17th, 2012 at 4:00 am by Kipp Robertson
There is a lot of excitement out at Gene Lobe Fields at the Kitsap Fairgrounds.
The 13-year-old Babe Ruth League World Series is well under way, with teams continuing pool play until Aug. 20.
During the Kitsap County All-Stars' first game against Bryant, Ark., Aug. 15, after the opening ceremony, Bryant player Jake East put himself in quite the pickle. This was an exciting moment that got the whole crowd riled up and one of my favorite moments so far in the world series.
Jake was looking to steal third. The young player is quick, and he had a good lead off second. The pitch was thrown. Jake was off.
Unfortunately for Jake the ball made it to third quicker than he would have liked. What followed was a game of pickle between Jake and the majority of the All-Stars. Jake scrambled between second and third multiple times before making a final attempt at returning to second. The All-Stars were just too many as they covered the base, tagging Jake out.
Breathing heavily, Jake brushed himself off and returned to the dugout. Jake would be back though, scoring one of nine runs to defeat the All-Stars that night.
Coverage of the Babe Ruth World Series continues. The All-Stars play their third game against Westfield, Mass. at 7 p.m. tonight.
Below are a few images I captured during the rundown with Jake East.

KHS band holding concert May 8, downtown march May 9May 8th, 2012 at 12:44 pm by Kipp Robertson
The Kingston High School band is staying busy.
Tonight, May 8, the band will play a concert from 7-9 p.m. in the Kingston High School Commons. It is a dedication concert for a baby grand piano, which was donated earlier this year. The concert's highlight will feature a performance of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," with North Kitsap High School graduate Mark Stevens on the piano.
Tomorrow, May 9, the marching band will — surprise — march through Kingston prior to a McDonalds "McTakeover." The band will begin the march from Gordon Elementary at 5:15 p.m., heading down West Kingston Road. The band will make a stop at the Village Green Park, before going up to the restaurant.
The march through Kingston is in preparation for this year's performance at the Portland Starlight Parade June 2.
School closure once again up for discussion | Meeting reminderApril 26th, 2012 at 2:57 pm by Kipp Robertson
It looks like the possibility of a school closure for the 2012-13 school year is once again a topic of discussion.
Tonight the North Kitsap School Board will resume the discussion. The school board meeting begins at 6 p.m. The public is welcome to attend.
The continued talk between board members was requested in order to give Board Director Scott Henden an opportunity to weigh in on the topic. Henden was absent during the last regular meeting, when the board decided to take more time to consider a closure.
Along with allowing Henden to discuss a possible closure, both the Citizens Budget Advisory Committee and Capital Facilities Advisory Committee have requested the board reconsider a school closure for next year.
The memo from superintendent Richard Jones to the school board is here.
Vikings soccer helping fight against cancerApril 23rd, 2012 at 9:34 am by Kipp Robertson
When the North Kitsap Vikings soccer team steps on their home field April 24, they will be involved in two fights.
The Vikings will play North Mason at 6:45 p.m. at the North Kitsap High School Stadium, while supporting LIVESTRONG and raising cancer awareness.

School board will study 2012-13 educational program Thursday | Meeting reminderApril 17th, 2012 at 2:42 pm by Kipp Robertson
The North Kitsap School Board is holding a "study session" April 9 from 5-7 p.m. to discuss the proposed education program for the 2012-2013 school year.
The proposed program, which was originally on the list of action items during the April 12 board meeting, includes the recommended authority to cut 15 full-time equivalent certificated instructional staff. That staff includes teachers, specialists and support staff.
However, with a current "usable" attrition level of 11 FTE certificated staff for next school year due to retirement, resignation or leave of absence, the district needs to only cut four (4) FTE to meet the 15 FTE reduction.
It should be noted the educational program was proposed prior to the board holding off the decision to close a school for the 2012-13 school year. In the proposed program it states: "In order to achieve maximum potential savings in the event of the closure of an elementary school, the authorization to reduce certificated staff will include up to, but no more than, 4.00 FTE of Elementary Specialist staffing."
The proposed cuts would increase class sizes by on student per classroom, per school, according to the document.
Cutting 15 FTE from certificated staff would bring the total number in the district from 370.98 to 355.78 (eliminating exactly 15.20).
The school district is looking at an estimated $1.3 million that needs to be cut from the 2012-13 budget. The shortfall estimate dramatically reduced from original estimates in February ($2.5 million).
