Cytotoxic Study: Effects of Di-ethylhexyl Phthalate and Mono ethylhexyl Phthalate on a Normal Human Lymphocytes Cell Line The main objective of this study was to determine the toxicity of the phthalates Di-ethylhexyl (DEHP) and its principal metabolite, Mono-ethylhexyl (MEHP) on the TK-6 human lymphoblast cell line. Phthalates are a family of compounds used widely in the manufacturing industry and in the production of plastics. Exposure to these compounds can be through personal and consumer items such as health care and beauty products. Are considered estrogen disrupters but also have been observed effects over the respiratory systems by the scientific community. Studies related with the phthalates exposure have been performed however are limited as well in human cells.
Plasticizer principal metabolite (2 Ethyl-1-Hexanol) effects over the human lymphoblast TK6 cells
The main objective of this study is to determine the toxicity of the 2-Ethyl-1-Hexanol on the TK6 human lymphoblast cell line. The 2-Ethyl-1-hexanol (EH) is an organic alcohol produced in the cells as result of the biotransformation of di-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP). The exposure of humans to the compound 2-Ethyl-1-hexanol can be through environmental sources such as paint lacquer, inks, rubber, dry cleaning and plasticizers, e.g. PVC. .

South Louisiana man goes from janitor to principal, enchanting nation with remarkable story
POSTED: Tuesday, February 18, 2014 - 6:30pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - 9:47am
PORT BARRE, LA (NBC33) — It's an inspiring story about a man who worked his way up from school janitor to principal. He's come so far that he's surpassed even his own imagination.
Joseph Gabriel "Gabe" Sonnier is the principal of Port Barre Elementary. But Mr. Sonnier is more than just a principal; his story is unlike many others.
In August of 1981 he started his job at Port Barre Elementary as a custodian, a job he was thrilled to have. He was forced to drop out of school at Southern University to help take care of his family and help his mother.
"For so many years I knew about custodial work because my father did it for all of his life," said Sonnier.
After being a custodian at Port Barre for only four years, Sonnier was told by the principal at the time that instead of picking up papers off the ground, he should be grading them. "At that time, I did take it to heart."
He started to teach at his religious school. After teaching at his religious school for a few years, he quickly knew education was where he wanted to be. "In 2000, I enrolled at LSU and the irony of it was that the first person who enrolled me was my first principal's son."
He started with the degree part time then eventually started taking morning and evening classes. While studying full time he still worked at Port Barre Elementary before class early in the mornings and late at night, after he would finish for the day. He told us his main priority was his children which is why he waited to pursue his secondary education.
So with a wife, two kids, and a full-time job, he graduated sixth in his class with a teaching certificate and a bachelor's degree. He then worked as a third grade teacher and eventually a fourth grade teacher. Then a few years later he graduated with a 4.0 and his masters degree. Now, he's sitting where he never imaged he would be 33 years ago.
"By no means did I think any of this could happen," recalled Sonnier. And one teacher who's seen him pick up trash those decades ago says he's is now picking up where he left off, but making a huge statement along the way.
Martha was teaching at Port Barre when Sonnier started as a janitor and is still there to this day. "It shows them we've you come from you can reach that goal but you have to keep trying and trying and don't let anything get in your way," said Martha Boyance. "It's not where you start, its how you finish and that's what I always tell the kids."
Sonnier accumulated a lot of vacation and that's one of the main reasons he was able to get his degree, while working and being a dad. He tells us he is thrilled to be at Port Barre Elementary and he can't imagine being anywhere else.

This is a wonderful story!!! I am so proud of this man! It is sad, however, that who ever wrote this story did not perform spell check and it is poorly written! That is so sad on so many levels that this story highlights a man that came from nothing and made something of himself in the field of education and the person that wrote this article made as many mistakes writing it as most 7th graders! Shame on you!
Someone needs to make this into a movie!! Imagine the influence he has on youngsters!! He is what a teacher an educator should be; to inspire and lead. He has done so much. Great story.
That's why a hand up is better than a hand out. Mister Presdent!

Our mission: motivate students to do more math.
How can we motivate students to do more math when they have never felt successful in the first place? Too many students are fatigued by mathematics and have simply given up. Because TTM meets students in their zone of proximal development, students quickly achieve success–a meaningful reward to struggling students. But we don't stop there.
Our motivation and incentive system is second to none–it offers a unique combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational strategies designed to encourage students to do more mathematics in both school and at home. With contests, points, rewards and unique altruistic opportunities to use points as donations to charities, TTM ensures that all students, regardless of their initial placement, will be motivated to stick with mathematics.

I am a great fan of Neil Gaiman, I was from the moment I read Good Omens to his most recent The Ocean At The End Of The Lane, they are captivating stories and his graphic novels have some amazing art work to boot.
This recent collaboration with his fan base to create a new graphic work based on the calendar looks really intriguing.

About the Project
In 1994, Clifford Baldowski began to donate his cartoon collection to the Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies. By 1999, Baldowski had donated approximately 3,000 cartoons and willed his remaining collection of approximately 4,000 cartoons to the Russell Library. Baldowskis cartoons, dating from 1946 to 1982, depicted the local, national and international news of his day in the editorial pages of the Augusta Chronicle and the Atlanta Constitution. His work is a valuable source for those studying the Civil Rights Movement, political activities in Georgia and the growth of Atlanta, Watergate and other national issues as well as the Cold War, the Vietnam conflict, and Middle East tensions.
In response to this important gift, the Russell Library began a project to preserve the original cartoons and make them available for research both at the repository and online. In preparation for the project, archivists at the Russell Library consulted institutions including the National Archives, John F. Kennedy Library, the National Archives of Canada, Ohio State University, and the State Historical Society of Wisconsin.
Once the cartoons were housed according to archival preservation standards, each one was microfilmed and scanned. Researchers are encouraged to view the online versions of the cartoons instead of the originals. Since technology rapidly changes, and digital preservation does not yet have widely accepted standards, archivists do not consider scanning a viable means of long-term preservation. Instead, microfilming is recognized as the preservation standard.
The cartoons are filmed following archival standards on 35 mm black and white, silver halide FUJI HR II PT125 film with a Recordak Microfilm camera. A standard reduction ratio has not been used for the project; rather, the cartoons have been reduced to fit a 35 mm frame size. After test shooting to determine the optimum dynamic range, exposures were bracketed at -1, 0, and +1. Film is developed in-house. The processors are tested daily using the methylene blue test to ensure archival-quality processing.
In order to allow researchers the best and most efficient use of this collection, the staff created catalog records to identify the people, organizations, and topics in each cartoon. Each MARC record contains a physical description of the original cartoon including a narrative of the action taking place in the cartoon.
Title: The title of each cartoon is its caption. If a caption does not exist, a short descriptive phrase of the subject matter of the cartoon is enclosed in square brackets and acts as the title i.e. [Baldowski cartoon on . . .]. For some cartoons, staff identified the published title of the cartoon. If the published title differs from the title provided on the original cartoon, the new title is included as an alternate title with a note of explanation. Staff has only consulted the published versions of a small percentage of the cartoons. This portion of the descriptive project is ongoing.
Date: If Baldowski included a date on the original cartoon, the date is recorded. If no date appears on the cartoon, staff will either provide a date based on research of the topical nature of the cartoon or on the date of the publication of the cartoon in the newspaper. If a date appears in square brackets, it has been provided through research.
Abstract: The narrative description of the cartoon contains all figures and iconography in the cartoon. All of Baldowskis labeling of characters or objects in the cartoon are recorded. If additional, contextual information may be necessary for the analysis of the cartoon, an "explanatory note" has been added.
Subject Headings: Staff used Library of Congress Subject Headings and the Library of Congress Name Authority Fields for providing subject access to the cartoons. Names not found within Library of Congress Name Authority Fields were formed according to Anglo-American Cataloging Rules 2 Revised and Archives, Personal Papers, and Manuscripts.
To provide online access, Digital Library of Georgia staff scanned the preservation microfilm using a Polaroid SprintScan 35 Plus film scanner to create 300 dpi grayscale images with a bit depth of 8. The non-bracketed exposure was scanned to provide the proper tonal range.
The original scans are LZW compressed TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) format files. The LZW compression is a lossless compression. At the point of scanning, staff adjusted the white point to compensate for grayness from the film and darkening of the original due to the paper's acid content. Occasionally after scanning, staff manually adjusted brightness and contrast. These high-resolution TIFF images are retained by the Russell Library and the Digital Library of Georgia for archival purposes.
As the Atlanta Journal Constitution and Augusta Chronicle hold copyright to the Baldowski cartoons, the Russell Library chose to publish each image with a watermark, a copyright and use statement, and the cartoon's locally assigned inventory number. Using a batch process in PhotoShop, staff converted the duplicates of the original grayscale TIFFs to RGB images and added a red logo for the repository. The copyright and use statement and cartoon numbers were added to each cartoon. Derivative 72 dpi grayscale thumbnail GIF images with maximum height of 150 pixels were produced from the original archival TIFFs using a batch process in PhotoShop. Staff used Graphic Workshop to scale the stamped TIFFs by 25 percent to create 72 dpi JPEG images.
Access to the scanned cartoons and their descriptive and contextual information is available at the Russell Library online through the state-wide GALILEO (GeorgiA LIbrary LEarning Online) system, a World Wide Web database server sponsored by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. As with all Digital Library of Georgia databases, the Baldowski Editorial Cartoon database is available to all users.
Interface Evaluation Procedures
The Baldowski Editorial Cartoon database has been subjected to the extensive review and evaluation process required for all GALILEO databases. Each new database is first tested and evaluated by project staff and the GALILEO Director of Virtual Library Development for design and functionality. It is then announced as a demonstration database to the GALILEO Reference Subcommittee composed of reference librarians from university, school and public libraries throughout the state. This group reviews the prototype database with their varied constituencies in mind, consulting other professionals as appropriate and making recommendations for adjustments and improvements. At this point the internal review is complete, and the database is announced and made available to all GALILEO users.
After a new database goes into production there are additional avenues for ongoing evaluation. Every major GALILEO screen includes a "leave a comment" button which any GALILEO user can employ to communicate with GALILEO central-office staff. Feedback concerning the Baldowski Editorial Cartoon database is routed back to project staff at the University of Georgia and its partner institutions for their consideration. In addition to this direct method of evaluation, GALILEO also collects use statistics and conducts annual user surveys. This information is available to all GALILEO users at www.usg.edu/galileo/ and will be used by project staff to monitor the amount and type of use received by the Baldowski Editorial Cartoon database.

On 12-13 November 2013 the Fundamental Human Rights Conference (FRC) "Combating hate crime in the EU: Giving victims a face and a voice", organised by the European Union Fundamental Rights Agency is taking place in Vilnius, Lihuania. The conference focuses on fighting hate crimes and seeks to establish and promote international cooperation among the EU member states in combating discrimination and violence motivated by racism, xenophobia, religious intolerance or homophobia.
While the LGL's Board Chair Vladimir Simonko together with other two staff members are attending the conference, the Lithuanian MP and the member of the governing coalition Petras Gražulis has come to the LGL's office to deliver a personal "present" for the remaining of the LGL' staff. He has pretentiously expressed his "gratitude for LGL in the field of protecting human rights and combating homophobia in Lithuania". Furthermore, the politician was accompanied by an unidentified cameraman, who filmed the LGL's staff and premises without permission.
LGL condemns this action by the MP Petras Gražulis and considers it as being humilliating and offensive to the local LGBT* community. Taken into account the ongoing FRA's Fundamental Human Rights Conference, which is organised in cooperation with the Lithuanian EU Presidency, this kind of hateful action by the MP is indicative of the prevailing homophobic, biphobic and transphobic atmosphere in the Lithuanian society. Instead of actively contibuting to reducing the rates of homohobic rethorics and actions in Lithuania, the Member of the Parliament has no shame in publicly harassing and inciting hatred against the local LGBT* community. LGL encourages public authorities to condemn this incident.

A 2013 Lookback at Consortiumnews
The year 2013 saw the United States bogged down in ideological conflicts and veering close to new wars in the Middle East, but reporting at Consortiumnews.com contributed to a fuller understanding of the facts domestically and internationally as the fever of partisanship and warfare showed signs of breaking.
In Case You Missed…
Some of our special stories in September, featuring exclusive reports that challenged the U.S. government's hidden evidence for attacking Syria, articles that contributed to the public resistance which first delayed and then deterred another war.
The Mysterious Death of a UN Hero
Exclusive: More than a half-century ago – at a pivotal moment in the emergence of independent African states – UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold was brokering peace in a divisive civil war in Congo when he died in a plane crash, leaving behind an enduring Cold War mystery, as Lisa Pease reports.
The Still-Sketchy Intel on Syria
Exclusive: In the mainstream U.S. news media, the bomb-Syria debate is focusing on how the politics might play out and what may happen after the expected U.S. missile strike, having brushed past lingering doubts about the sketchy intelligence regarding the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack, as Lisa Pease explains.
In Case You Missed…
Some of our special stories in June, focusing on the dangers of truth-telling (from Gary Webb and Daniel Ellsberg to Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning), a major turn in the 1980 October Surprise case, and the Right's dark history of racism.
Waking Up to America's 'Dirty Wars'
Exclusive: Americans are finally waking up to what George W. Bush created with his "war on terror" – and what Barack Obama has continued – a national security state that violates privacy and dispatches "special ops" teams or lethal drones to roam the world killing "terrorists," a topic addressed by "Dirty Wars" and Lisa Pease.
In Case You Missed…
Some of our special stories in July focused on the heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, the press corps going soft on Mitt Romney's deceptions, the Left's failed electoral tactics, and tragic cases of American gun violence.
Batman in an Age of Polarization
Exclusive: The last of Christopher Nolan's "Batman" trilogy may always be remembered for the mass murder of fans packed into a theater in Colorado to see an opening-night showing. But "The Dark Knight Rises" has been controversial for other reasons in a deeply polarized America, writes Lisa Pease.
A Comedy at the 'End of the World'
Exclusive: A comedy about people living their final days, as a massive meteor zeroes in on Planet Earth, may seem an unlikely movie concept. But "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World," starring Steve Carell, is one of those rare moments when Hollywood breaks out of predictable molds, writes Lisa Pease.

Whilst talking about contemporary art, new media art, IT, the most interesting ideas nowadays and the interrelation of it all, whether you like it or not, you face the field of design. Design is an industry, which always balances on the critical edge, is not allowed into saint world of artists, though, at the same time often seen with suspicion from the perspective of "serious" professionals. Design is somewhere there – between creativity, knowledge, technology and innovative thinking.
Not long ago, the "Brit Insurance Design Awards 2011" exhibition opened up. The main goal of this exhibition is to present year's best and most interesting designers in different fields: architecture, fashion, furniture, graphic, interactive, product and transport design. Exactly today, in London, the winners of every category were announced. I have to admit that usually I familiarize myself with recent design innovations while surfing online, so the "Pecha Kucha" evening, where participants talked about their ideas and the opportunity to see the design exhibition afterwards was a great occasion to evaluate the objects in person and feel how, why and in what point creativity, art, conceptuality and design contact this year.
Left – winner (fashion) Jil Sander "+J", right – winner (transport) "Barclays Cycle Hire"
"Serco" member tells about "Barclays Circle Hire" project and how its design should become just as typical to London as the red busses and black taxi cars
First of all, this exhibition was one of the best exhibitions that I've seen in the past three months. I don't remember when was the last time I was so engaged in the inquiry of the exhibits and descriptions of the conceptions. The flipping through the graphic design press as much as the presentation of the iPad applications, the possibility to try them out as much as video material, telling about architectural, interactive, lighting objects, immensely got my attention.
"Pecha Kucha" evening was nice as well — I probably won't surprise anyone by saying that some announcers were more interesting than others. About 20 percent of the presentations were just great, 50 percent were OK and 30 percent were bit boring. However, keeping in mind that the most important event is the exhibition and the announcement of the best design, the "Pecha Kucha" evening remains a tasty bonus for the gourmands, who are more into design and want to get a bit more information than given in the exhibition descriptions. You can also talk with the author personally if you want.
Well, below you will find the objects, which drew my attention the most.
Architecture. An open library, "Karo Architekten", Germany
Architecture. An open library, "Karo Architekten", Germany
I got a chance to read an opinion of one jury members of last year's "Brit Insurance Design Awards" poll about the presented projects of 2011. One of the main minuses mentioned this year was the abundant number of the appeared commercial projects, when, meanwhile, last year there were sort of more social. However, if this argument is valid then the field of architecture is a complete exception. The winner of the architecture design was an open library project in Germany, which was created in very abandoned, and we could say isolated part of the city. This project became the focus point of the city and gathered the community, which in a short period of time collected more than 20 000 books. Eventually, the project received the attention of the government too. Now, here it's a library that is open for 24 hours and an open space for relaxation.
iPad – not that long ago presented device. In the "Brit Insurance Design Awards" exhibition, there were a couple of iPad applications presented. I am personally very interested in the different experience whilst reading and taking in the information provided by iPad. Magazines could enrich the content by thousand times and provide a completely different experience to the readers, allowing you to flip through a load of illustrations, watch relevant video recordings, listen to music etc. I certainly would use iPad for reading books, but it's a shame that, in the meantime, the accessible publications as well as book resources are quite small. Well, and for now, all we are left with is to enjoy the design publications that accommodate the iPad programs first, even though, the "purchase" of such magazines into your iPad costs the same as the paper edition,(which is a bit sad after getting attune with the free information in internet websites), however, the interactive reading brings thoughts that we wasted a whole eternity reading flat books and we can only envy the future generations.
So, the winner of the interactive design field was one of the iPad applications, "Flipboard" – it's the first social magazine for iPad.
Graphic design
The graphic design category was not less delicious, mostly delighting the ones who were tired from the iPad devices and their applications. The presented books and publications invited to remember the enjoyment of touching quality design, paper and press editions and to familiarize with the most creative design decisions that covered the commercial publication design as well as personal artists' portfolio, specialized books or even fiction.
The graphic design winners
Furniture design sometimes is quite interesting but often, in my opinion, it's boring. Lamps, chairs, tables and all sorts of other often quite monotonic and just by one or another line distinguishing from each other constructions that we often looked at so much in our everyday life that it's hard to surprise or to interest. In my opinion, this year's winner was chosen wantonly, so instead of him I present a chair design that seemed the most interesting to me. This chair, in my opinion, is ideal for the brainstorming. The constant swinging turns you pleasantly, it seems that you will fall down right this moment but still you lean to the other side, just like those serious decisions.
Not a winner but supposed to be one
Well and another project that attracted my attention was from the field of architecture design. Benjamin Garcia, was great with his presentation at "Pecha Kucha" evening. He presented a forest project, created inside of a house. The architect emphasized that architecture to him is not just a nonliving link with personality. He began the presentation of this house with a story about his mother, who, whilst she was still young built a house herself. This house, from which mother Helen could watch the moon every night became an inspiration to B. Garcia to create a new project. Whilst working in London, he saved 10 thousand pounds and together with local dwellers in Costa Rica realized this pearl himself. His mother now can watch the moon and enjoy natural lighting, which thanks to the composition of the constructions and the selected materials is distributed just fabulously.
This example is very interesting in the position of the architect himself. Often we see architects on the top, never physically involved in building the project itself. Whereas, this case is completely different. B. Garcia honestly realized his project himself from beginning till the end.
Hope you enjoyed some of my impressions!

Summer has been really great! I went to the American Idol tour when they came to Staples Center earlier this month:). My personal life is still the same as mentioned in my previous entry:D,had some probs. w/ my family recently but hopefully,it'll get better. I start school on the 18th and I'm taking Intro to Oceanography(M/W),Math 40(T/T) and Health ScienceM/W).
I got a B+ on my Project 2 and I've started work on Project 3 already. I didn't get a good grade on my Math Exam 4 but my teacher told me to keep trying and that I can recover. I hated that for 3 of the ?'s,I had right numbers but just the wrong signs!
I'm currently watching season 5 of Oz,and just got done doing 1.7 of my Math hwk. I still need to do 1.8,2.1 and 2.2 before Tues. I'm also going to go to the Tutoring Center more next week in preparation for the Exam on Thurs.. I've done pretty well for my 1st 2 quizzes, I got 17/20 and 13/20. Before I used to get like 6 and 10's and shit.
I had an OJ for breakfast,then watched The View,and went to the bookstore and got MyMathLab.com for Math, a soda and found out I only need supplies for Art(which I can find out what and get on Monday). I also got the prices/titles for my sisters' books. Man,is she going to pay A LOT if she gets em there and not online.
hey...well i stumbled onto a site called fictionpress.com and it's really neat, they have poems and stories....really cool. i just finished reading a story called "Why I Don't Like Math" and it was good...well i thought it was good haha. so yeah just wanted ta let ya guys in on the site and go check it out...pretty neat.
With a little bit of past history thrown in the mix.
So today I went and saw one of my friends who I haven't seen in about a month because of my job (I work full time at a Feed and tack store). First thing I did was tell her I'm a lesbian. She cooed at me, said how cute, and hugged me. Not the reaction I expected at the time but now that I think about it she probably wasn't surprised. For the year we've know each other I've never had a crush on a boy. Also while going through months of crushing on one of our friends (who is bi and I will call S.) I cried on her shoulder many of times. It wasn't that I liked S. that bothered me , it was how she kept running me in circles and took advantage of how strong my crush was. Basically she would hold hands with me, cuddle, and kiss, say she didn't want a relationship then repeat all over again for three months until one day her ex boyfriend came back into the picture, they got back together and I was finally told she had never liked me that way. Needless to we don't talk anymore.

BREAKING: Ayman al-Zawahiri is Al Qaeda's New 'Emir'
This is breaking news: Ayman al-Zawahiri has officially been named 'emir' of Al Qaeda. This makes him the successor of Obama bin Laden, who was taken out by a team of Navy Seals earlier this month.
(The best) Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reports that it has read classified documents from the Dutch secret intelligence organization (AIVD).
According to the documents, Al-Zawahiri was appointed as Al Qaeda's new leader during a meeting on May 9, a week after the death of OBL.
"On May 9, the leadership of Al Qaeda elected Al-Zawahiri during a meeting in the tribal areas, between Afghanistan and Pakistan", an intelligence source told the newspaper.
And that's not all: according to Dutch intelligence, the monster from Maadi (Egypt) himself proposed to elect Sa'ad bin Laden, one of Bin Laden's sons. He refused, however. Al Qaeda's leaders then proceeded to appoint Al-Zawahiri.
All those present swore an oath of allegiance to the Egyptian terrorist (bayat).
Dutch intelligence sources believe Al Qaeda will announce the appointment in a couple of days time.
Sa'ad bin Laden has officially been appointed to Al Qaeda's Shura council. This means that he is now officially one of the organization's highest ranking members. It's not difficult to imagine that he may succeed Al-Zawahiri when we take him out.
Finally, the meeting was held in the Kurram region in Pakistan, which once again forces us to wonder just how seriously Pakistan takes this whole war on terror. NATO forces were informed about the meeting by local informants one day after it took place.

Aerospace Engineering: Deep Space 1
Deep Space 1
Dedicated to testing new technologies for deep space and interplanetary missions, NASA launched Deep Space 1 (DS1), NASA's first spacecraft in the New Millennium Program. Deep Space 1's purpose was to test the viability of the ion engine, autonomous navigation software, solar power concentration array, miniature camera, and 8 other technologies that had never previously been tested in space.
Deep Space 1 launched on October 24th 1998 from Pad 17-A at the Cape Canaveral air station at 12:08 UT ( 8:08 AM EDT). One of its initial missions was to fly by the asteroid 9969 Braille, which was selected as the mission's target. The mission was extended twice to include capturing images of the comet Borrelly, and to further conduct engineering tests. Although there were small problems initially during early stages of flight, the encounter with the comet proved to present valuable results.
Mission Accomplishments
All of the technology systems on Deep Space 1 were successful. The mission proved the effectiveness of an ion engine for long-duration spaceflight and advanced the field of space craft navigation. Deep Space 1 also captured images of the asteroid Braille, and thus revealed interesting similarities between the asteroid Braille and the asteroid Vesta. Furthermore, Deep Space 1 validated valuable science especially during its flyby of comet Borrelly.
Initially, DS1 was intended to fly by the dormant comet Wilson-Harrington, but DS1's star tracker failed before the mission on November 11th 1999. Instead, NASA mission planners devised a plan for DS1 to flyby Borrelly in September of 2001 without a star tracker. DS1 was not only able to flyby the comet without a star tracker, but it captured never before seen images of the comet. In fact, because the Borrelly mission was so successful, it not only confirmed the use of tracking without a star tracker, but the use of an ion engine for deep space missions.
Deep Space 1 set the record for the longest operating time for a propulsion system in space. By August 17th 2000, the engine had been operating for 162 days as part of its 8 month test. NASA disconnected contact with Deep Space 1 on December 2001, but the success of DS1 prompted the launch of Deep Space 2 in December of 2001.

- Deep Space 1 Technology: A deeper look at Deep Space 1 spacecraft and the technologies that were used to propel it.
- The Borrelly Comet Mission: A brief summary about the Deep Space 1's successful encounter with the Borrelly comet, and successful capture of the first image of the comet's core.
Technology: DS1's Ion Engine and How It Works
Deep Space 1's ion engine was not the first ion engine ever produced. NASA started developing them in the 1950s, but because the technology was expensive, it was deemed too risky to test during actual space flight.
A typical rocket engine produces thrust using Newton's third law of motion – for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. A chemical rocket burns rocket fuel and shoots exhaust from the engine's nozzle at roughly 7,000 miles per hour, thereby creating thrust. The weight of the exhaust combined with the speed generates thrust.
Ion engines, however, are a much more efficient engine because it shoots ions out of the engine's nozzle at a much higher velocity or speed. This is the basic premise behind the ion engine. Instead of using combustion to accelerate atoms, an ion engine accelerates them electronically.
First, xenon atoms are ionized to give them an electrical charge. A pair of grids is charged over 1,000 watts to accelerate the xenon atoms to over 7,700 miles per hour. These xenon atoms are traveling 10 times faster than the atoms leaving a combustion engine, and therefore provide about 10 times the thrust compared to that of a chemical combustion engine.
- How Ion Engines Work: A brief video explaining how ion engines like the Deep Space 1 spacecraft function.
- Ion Engine Tutorial: A brief student guide from NASA on how ion engines work.
Other Technologies
SCARLET concentrating solar array
To charge the grids that excite the ions, most ion engines use solar panels to provide electricity. The primary source of power on DS1 was produced by a new solar array technology called SCARLET, the Solar Concentrator Array with Refractive Linear Element Techonolgy. SCARLET uses linear fresnel lenses made of silicone to concentrate light onto solar cells.
The solar array panels on Deep Space 1 provided approximately 2400 watts, which is enough to accelerate about 100 grams of xenon per day. Of the 81.5 kg of xenon dedicated to DS1's ion engine, DS1 only used approximately 17 kg during its primary mission.
Deep Space 1's Autonav system, developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, works as a tracking and navigation device. Autonav works by taking images of known bright asteroids, and then uses those images to mark a fixed point as if on a map. From there, Autonav is able to observe other moving asteroids in the Solar System with a noticeable predictable speed, and by comparing their locations, it can predict its own relative position. Two or more known asteroids' locations are necessary in order for the spacecraft to triangulate its position. In essence, Autonav is similar to a GPS system, but without the costs of an operator.
Before DS1, most spacecrafts were tracked by transmitters of the Deep Space Network (DSN), which requires skilled operators. Autonav, however reduces the mission costs and the demands on personnel.

One thing I love about my Christie is that her libido is easy to spark and her mind is easy to fuck.
Although we'd talked about Sunday being the start of C's long-term male chastity, as I sent him a few tasks and emails, I could tell he wasn't really into it. I knew it was just ordinary "not quite in the mood" type stuff, but still, it made me pause. The old submissive side of me (another post for another time) wanted to not force him into doing anything he wasn't 100% interested in. But this is the new me and this is the new Us, and so I pushed forward. Also, I know my bf better than I know my sissy slut at this point, but I figured both of them would get motivated quickly enough.
Side note. I've read a few (vanilla) sex advice columnists lately who say that the way to get in the mood if your sex life has stalled is to just start out by going through the motions and, because of the simple nature of how the hormones work, your mood will catch up with what your body is doing. I don't have the articles bookmarked, but I'll look for them and post the links. The point is that I knew if C went through the motions (which I had no doubt he would dutifully and loyally do), he would be back to her old Sissy Christie self in no time.
So I sent a few tasks (put on the cage, wear the sissy pink pjs to bed, send pics, sign up for Twitter, update his "Denied Orgasm" clock) and granted him permission to masturbate (but not cum, natch) in the morning. He started a new job recently and, in the ongoing flip-flop between gf and Mistress, I don't want our having fun become a distraction before he's had time to settle into the job. He was compliant and respectful, but as I love and know him well, and I could feel that we were getting a slow start to subspace. That was ok, I'd be patient.
You should know something about me, though. I'm not a patient person. My grandmother used to say, "Lord, give me patience, but do it quick" and that pretty much sums me up. So while I'm trying to be calm and authoritative and sparsely send emails and texts (he and I typically communicate all day long, using several different forms of technology), I'm actually sitting in my house making lists of task ideas and forcing myself not to give him a list of 1,000 demands to complete all at once.
I can be a bit compulsive.
Other than to acknowledge her text thanking me for allowing her to masturbate my cock this morning, I left C alone all day, so he could focus on work. I called him on my drive home from work (hands-free on the cell!) just to hear about his day. After 30 minutes of ordinary talk, he finally burst, no longer able to keep his secret. Turns out, my dear, not-quite-in-the-mood-but-compliant sissy had spent all day looking for emails or text messages that never came. She was anxious to hear from me, to receive a new task, to have any communication that reconfirmed our Mistress/sub relationship.
I love that about C!!! I love knowing that she's thinking of me all day and wondering what I have in store. I love that I get under her skin. I love her.

Assalamu'alaikum Ya Sayyidy, I dreamed:
1. In 2003, a few months after hajj, I heard a voice, "Ya Rasulullah (SAW), he wants a yellow book (Kitab Kuning, in Indonesian language) and than Rasulullah SAW looked at me and gave me a yellow book.
2. I dreamed that Mawlana Shyakh Hisham asked to follow him to attend an Obama celebration, after he won the election.
3. My son (Jalaluddin Al-Mursyidy Fadhlurrahman) and I have the same dream. We saw Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Mawlana Shaykh Hisham come to our house. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim looked around our house and Mawlana Shaykh Hisham was sitting in the living room.
4. Is that true that a Moslem's dreams are connected to each other like a puzzle?
Jazakumullah khairan katsira Ya habibi
wa `alaykum salam,
The first part means you will receive heavenly knowledge from Prophet (s). The other dreams are showing you that Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and his deputy, Shaykh Hisham are looking after you and your family.

ColdwellBankerPrime.com › New Home Communities
This is a project that actually walks the walk of the so-called "New Urbanism." There has been a lot of architectural talk in recent years about communities that try to re-create the convenience and ambiance of traditional villages or towns as they grew and evolved. The Gables at Delmar is situated at the "Four Corners" in the heart of Delmar and will feel like an integral part of this lively, historical Hamlet. There are precious few suburban locations in the Capital Region where you can stroll the sidewalks to the many interesting stores, a Library, the Town Hall, restaurants and schools.
Delmar has an amazing inventory of Victorians, Bungalows, Colonials, as well as a seemingly endless supply of inventive and original combinations. We've drawn freely from local history and craftsmanship in the design of porches, windows, trim and siding to help develop the open floor plans, clean lines and varied massing of the new designs. The Gables will fit in as a natural part of the fabric of Delmar and its residents will be able to enjoy the opportunity to live the true urban life "walking the walk" of life in the Hamlet.

There were many other budget travelers on the flight, and we all congregated outside the now closing doors after claiming our packs. As the last of the airport staff left in there cars, the last bus to take us into Noumea (40 mi.) arrived, and as others climbed abord I could not justify paying around 30U.S. for a forty mile trip (on a budget you know). I was not alone, one girl a German also would not agree to the bus fare, and we stood together as the bus roared away. After a brief introduction we decided we should look for a place to sleep in safety, but no structures were present, nothing like a suitable sleeping area was visible from the airport, only saturated grasslands and swamps.

Halloween at the Kauai Humane Society
There is a wonderful non-profit organization on Kauai that is close to the hearts of many islanders: The Kauai Humane Society (KHS).
"We're glad you're here. It's because of our caring community we are able to provide refuge for Kauai's neglected, abandoned and abused animals, " says Pam Woolway, Volunteer Coordinator for the organization.
" If it weren't for compassionate folks like you supporting us since 1952, we wouldn't be able to achieve our mission to strengthen our bond with our pets as well as provide informed care for all of Kauai's animals."
As a volunteer cat cuddler and aspiring dog photographer, I see a lot of visitors to Kauai stopping in to the shelter because they miss their pets at home. Visitors to Kauai are welcome and encouraged to visit the shelter pets and spread a little island Aloha.
The shelter also features a lovely dog-walking park called "Freddy's Dog Park" and the KHS is currently letting interested parties buy trees or gazebos to beautify the landscaping of the park.
Information about this program and other ways you can help the shelter -- or just to find out what time visiting hours are -- can be accessed at the Kauai Humane Society's website www.kauaihumane.org
Although bringing animals to Hawaii requires a strict quarantine time period -- and this service is offered by the Kauai Humane Society -- there are no restrictions on taking a pet back to the Mainland with you as a souvenir of Kauai or a loving, living momento of the island.
This little fellow at left, "Midnight Juju Jamal" came home with me on August 28, 2011. He is learning to travel places with me on his leash and I have featured him prominently on my Facebook Page on many occasions.
I also just adopted a playmate for Juju named Kumo Kerfluffel, a huge ball of snowy white fur with tabby stripes and a fluffy raccoon-like tail.
He and Juju were cage mates at the Humane Society in the past and they are getting along very well together.
We are going to build a nice backyard cat run for the boys that has a cat door that leads from the outdoor shower area to the bird-filled backyard -- all enclosed for everybody's safety!
I'll keep you posted with photos and blogs.
Until then...

With less than 10 days to go until the world's biggest football tournament kicks off, the high tech kit was loaded onto an Antonov 124, the world's second largest cargo plane, for its long haul flight to Johannesburg.
Managing the huge operation through Stansted's dedicated freight facility was cargo handler, Servisair. Richard Bond, Servisair Cargo Station Manager, said:
"Servisair is delighted that we have been chosen to handle this valuable and important cargo. This is a tremendous vote of confidence in our abilities and recognises the skill and professionalism of our staff."
Host Broadcast Services (HBS) is the official broadcaster for the 2010 FIFA World Cup and will film all 64 matches including, for the first time, 25 games in 3D. The company first undertook this type of logistical challenge for the 2006 Doha Asian Games in Qatar.
Nick Barton, Stansted's Commercial and Development Director, said:
"With world class facilities, experienced freight handlers such as Servisair, and our close proximity to London, Stansted is ideally placed to manage specialist and high value freight of this nature.
"We are committed to building on this success story in the years ahead, including playing an active role in the future at high profile events such as the London 2012 Olympics, which will present the airport with a huge range of opportunities to showcase our business."
Stansted is one of the largest cargo hubs in the UK with around 190,000 tonnes of freight passing through the airport's world-class facilities each year. It is home to BA's World Cargo operation and Fed-Ex has their largest UK hub at Stansted.

Dr Adam Marshall, director of policy and external affairs at the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), claimed that unnecessary red tape costs firms time and money and can act as a barrier to growth.
He was commenting after Michael Fallon, Minister for Business and Enterprise, announced the new 'One-in, Two-out rule', which is geared at eliminating bureaucracy.
This will apply to regulations affecting businesses and voluntary organisations from January 2013.
However, Dr Marshall noted that the rule will only apply to the regulations that are currently deemed 'in scope' of the system - and a significant number, including EU regulations, are exempt from this process.
"The system should be reviewed to ensure that relevant regulations are in scope, as this will help to reduce burdensome red tape that prevents businesses from growing, innovating and creating employment," he stated.
"Businesses are doing everything they can to grow in an uncertain economic climate and bold action is needed to deliver growth - part of that must be reducing the regulatory burden on companies."
Dr Marshall added that regulatory reduction is not just about Whitehall processes.
"Businesses on the ground must feel the load is lightening substantially too," he stated.

Integrating Expressive Arts into the MA in Psychology & Counseling Program
In 2009, Goddard formally integrated the arts into the curriculum of the MA in Psychology and CMHC programs. We began by offering an opportunity for students to exhibit artworks created in conjunction with coursework at our "Art Exhibition of Student Work" during residencies. Work presented includes both visual art pieces and performance art. Students also have the opportunity to discuss your artwork with members of the larger Goddard Community.
In this process, four main streams of creative work have become apparent:
- Some students use the creation of art pieces as a way to engage the senses as they contemplate psychological and counseling theory. They report that creating an art piece as they reflect on the theoretical material enhances their understanding.
- Students use an art piece for personal exploration and work that is part of training to begin to work with clients. Creativity is especially helpful in considering interfaces and experiences with persons who are different from the students themselves, as an aspect of diversity training.
- Students return to campus after a semester's work to share the work made by their own clients in the contexts of practica and internships.
- Students use art work created as part of a final product, the creative thesis. Examples of student work include a screenplay and a memoir that explores lives lived fully by persons with a diagnosed mental illnesses; another thesis integrated poetry and images with theoretical discussion.

Bill Murray was said to have read a script draft to Ghostbuster 3 and then sent it back to Dan Aykroyd all shredded with a nasty note attached. And Aykroyd has been talkative regarding the development of another Ghostbusters movie the past year or so too.
Now director Ivan Reitman has decided to chime in about a possible Ghostbusters 3 movie. His response to another film in the franchise actually sounds like the most definitive answer fans of the franchise will hear... as of right now (via Slash Film).
"Bill Murray has never actually read anything. He may have read ten pages at some point, but he's never read a script. But he's never been interested, either. That part is true. It wasn't Ghostbusters in particular, it's just, he's been carrying on his life in a different way, in terms of the kind of parts that he's wanted to pursue. I mean, he's a really brilliant actor, comedian, personality. I've worked with him now five times, and I would love to work with him again. I'd hope that he could be in this film. He could be, he might not be, I really don't know."
It was also reported that Reitman did sound optimistic about a third movie but he also said it is still a ways away from production (and a green light).
"[I]f we can find a way to make a film that's somewhat as magical as [Ghostbusters] finally turned out to be, then it's worth making. If we can't, then we probably won't do it. And I think that's really what's been taking so damn long. We had a couple of scripts that were quite good, that we just didn't think quite had it. And one of them was particularly centric to Bill, and we just couldn't get him to read it. And so that one didn't get made, even though it was pretty damn good. So we've been thinking of alternatives, and we're actually making some real progress, and we'll see what happens. That's the most honest answer I can think of."
Development limbo continues for Ghostbusters 3.

Apple Selloff: About a Year Too Soon
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- My long-term Apple (AAPL - Get Report) bear case might be playing itself out.
Doubleline Capital CEO Jeff Gundlach trashed Apple (AAPL - Get Report) on CNBC Wednesday. He ripped the company's perceived lack of innovation, using iPad mini as a verbal specimen.
Gundlach, short AAPL since April from around $610, humbly admits he has been "sort of right and sort of wrong." Solid perspective.
He also lamented the loss of Steve Jobs. The innovator is gone. There's another thing I agree with.
On Apple, Gundlach and I share sentiment. That should make me happy. I am in the company of a market God. In this world, that often leads to an article crowing about how right I have been all along. Label the remaining AAPL bulls clueless peasants and call it a day. But I can't do that. It would be disingenuous. And, to his credit, Gundlach isn't disingenuous either. You can smack that tag on about 95% of the financial media, though. The media chose to ignore what really happened to AAPL on Wednesday (and will likely happen on several occasions between now and the end of the year) in favor of the frantic part of the story. Here's the score. This long-term downfall that Gundlach sees happening -- and that the media harped on Wednesday -- is somewhere between six to 12 months out, if it even ever happens. I don't buy the notion that, all of a sudden, the market is this well-oiled, forward-looking machine. If it was, AAPL would have sold off the day Steve Jobs expired. And stayed sold off. Instead, it's up 50% since Jobs's death. And that's after recent weakness. The "market" didn't just wake up sometime in September and decide, "yeah, now's the time to dump this thing; it's over." Because it's not over. AAPL should still be the stock it used to be during periods of volatility and uncertainty. I recall late summer 2011. The markets got volatile. We saw more than a few days of triple-digit losses in the Dow.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

College is a bargain...Submitted by justin (not verified) on Sat, 02/12/2011 - 7:03am.
Tuition at UNCW in 2010 is $5500 a year...tack on $7000 for an on-campus housing and a full meal plan, maybe another $3500 for gas, parking, beer money, books. And they're complaining about spending $16,000 a year for a college education? The average college graduate earns $1M more during their career than a person who doesn't attend college. More than 60% of all college students receive some sort of financial support, either thru work study grants, Pell grants, scholarships or paid internships. College isn't a right, it's an investment! Want to keep the costs down? Tell the students to quit begging the universities to expand the recreation centers on campus, intramural sports, the coffee shops and fancy food services or hanging 42" plasma televisions in every hallway and lobby. Get ready students...the real world is going to shock you! »

For years, the Hooters restaurant chain has aroused both groups of wing-eating dudes and the tempers of militant feminists. Questions have been raised: Are Hooters girls objectified? Are the wings really as hot and tasty as the ladies who bring them? Will they ever get rid of those horrible orange shorts? Personally, I'm a feminist, if you get right down to it, but I've got no qualms about a pretty young thang serving up dinner at a family-friendly, all-American restaurant. C'mon, it's not like they're naked.
Though... they almost were on Tuesday, when 128 girls stripped down to their bikinis in hopes of being crowned Miss Hooters at the 12th Annual Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant. Right after that, though, they put on club clothes like the respectable girls they are and went to the big invitation-only afterparty at Nikki Marina (3660 S. Ocean Dr., Hollywood). Having skipped the actual pageant (pffft, I can see all the bikinis I need to on the beach), one of my sexy lady friends suggested we slip in and check out the party. So we infiltrated the lax (er, nonexistent) security and made our way in to mingle with troops of iconic Hooters girls as they partied.
Ambience: By day, Nikki Marina is an expansive, oceanfront eating area, and by night, it's a bumpin' party. But Tuesday night? Extra bumpin'. Despite recent nonstop rainstorms (and hair-frizzing humidity), the night was clear and breezy, and the hot spot was packed full of party people. White couches, wood tables, tiki torches, and unbearably attractive Hooters chicks covered every square inch of the giant outdoor courtyard area. I darted past a giant fountain and boat-sized coolers full of bottles of Bud, fleeing to the large, circular bar. Ritzy hotels stretched skyward behind me, and the Hooter Patrol IV yacht, roped off and marked "for contestants only," was docked a few feet away.
Nobody could explain why the affair wasn't held at one of five Broward Hooters (the original was opened 25 years ago in Clearwater by "a bunch of guys who got tired of going to fern bars," according to one founder), except maybe they needed a restaurant with a dock. Nikki was cool for me, though.
Partygoers: Put a bunch of hot girls at a VIP party and you're also going to collect an eclectic array of shifty people slipping in: sleazy guys looking for a hookup, maybe even a nightlife reporter who didn't bother to get a press pass. Single dudes stood lurking near the entrance to the yacht, each waiting to snag the next alcohol-drenched beauty queen to saunter off. Joe wore glasses and was downin' some greasy, good ol'-fashioned Hooters wings when he approached my friend and me. He mistook us for Hooters girls (I went to college to avoid those dreaded orange shorts but, in truth, haven't ruled 'em out yet completely) and talked about being "involved" with pageant coordination.
"Do you do work with kids' pageants?" my friend asked.
"Uh, no, I don't touch 'em until they're 18," he said. Yuck. "I like 'em best like you. Blond, blue-eyed, and looking like you just walked off the campus of a Baptist college." Yeah, I might look sweet and innocent, but lines like that, and those who deliver them, I flick away like flyspecks.
Drinks: Bartender Jennifer, clad in a blue tank top with her black hair pulled back neatly, informed me that all Budweiser products were free. Chris was short, wore jeans and an earring, and was pretty drunk by the time he and his two friends made their way over to us.
"He recently quit World of WarCraft," one of his friends said. "Trained someone to take over his clan and everything." Yeah, I've had a few friends who gave up social interaction for the biggest online role-playing game ever. But don't we all?
"Nice, what'd you play as?" I asked.
"Night elf," he said with a smirk. Would have pegged him for more for a Tauren or an Orc player. (No denying it, Night Watch knows nightlife and videogames. So what?)
"Nice choice," I said. "How's the real world treating you?"
"Honestly, it's way better," he said.
"You only think that because you're drunk," I said, indicating the Bud in his hand.
"Well, the beer's free, and I don't know how much I've had," he admitted. "Plus, there is a lot of hot ass around here."
Girls: "A lot of hot ass" was an understatement. Homogenous legions of sexy young ladies congregated everywhere, all slender, all with perfect eye makeup, and all in perfect hot little party dresses. Heather, petite in a silver tube top, and Gina, with neat eyeliner and a tight ponytail, sat on a couch with plates of chicken wings in front of them, grabbed from one of the long buffet lines.
"You guys compete in the Miss Hooters pageant?" I asked.
"No — we're former employees," Heather said. "But we're still involved with Hooters, so we came to see the pageant. It went on forever — nearly 130 girls competed." Memo to Night Watch from herself: Once you've seen one bikini babe, you've seen 'em all. Always skip the pageant and head for the party.

Hotel Naturalist Beach Resort(4 stars)
Castara Bay Road View on mapHotel review overview
Best and only accommodation direct at the shore
- Recommended hotel
- Friends
- Beach holiday
- July 2013
Best and only accommodation direct at the shore. Each bedroom with bath room. Breakfast could be a bit more concerning variety: bread, butter, jam, fruit and a strange smelling mix of vegetables and fish, sometimes cereals. The 3 bedroom "shark" apartment has the car park in front of the terrace, no direct stairs to the beach. 100 meter distance to a fish market, where you can buy fresh fish for cheap money, and roast it in the kitchen. We spent a great time there. read hotel review

Kanalgeruch and noise
In our 2 month Karibik vacation we had as' peak ' 16 days tobago scheduled. If we had known what the 'naturalist' expected, we would never want to miss the idea on this beautiful island to travel. I had with the manager uncle George very good internet contact, it was room and collection from the airport promised, we arrived around 21:30 from Trinidad after tobago and we considered for our pick-up, but there was no one came. A few friendly cab drivers tried uncle George to call them, but it was not raised. So we decided ..., quite annoyed, because it rained and was already quite late, a taxi to castara to take. Since the drive about 1 hour takes it cost of course, also after 22 o'clock 50% additional cost required. The drive with the extremely nice taxi driver was a horror as it rained and the streets partly unlit etc. Are. When we in castara arrived, it was about 23:30 met us almost fainted, we could by car not to the hotel drive, because the path only with the Jeep negotiable is, we had to take our luggage over the beach to noisy, kartenspielenden and grasrauchenden locals past to the hotel go. When we arrived there we tried the manager somehow wake, with knock and yell and telephone we managed then uncle George to get down. The sight and the welcome was not the, the on arrival in a hotel wishes. No hello or what was happened or an apology for the not pick-up, nothing at all just a surly, we speak tomorrow! Exhausted, we went in the bed to sleep and to review the situation. But you couldn't sleep, there the noise the oversized music boxes and the noise of the locals not allowed. Next morning we wanted to nothing like away, uncle George repined as cancelation fees and so on. My wife and i came at the end to stay here, which of course was a mistake!
I would have to say that we really no extremely fussy travelers are, but what on the internet as advertised and for what i paid, the request we also got. Of peace is not enough, the already mentioned loud beach activities are each evening without exception (ear plugs help little ), in the early morning so at 6:00 o'clock the navvy their 'work', the with loud roar begins and with loud laughter stops, occasionally the public channel, where all sewage how will, and the around the hotel runs, from leaves removed. The channel herausbeförderten carnivory aggravated the already bad smell, even more. Uncle joe George tried to 'powder' air tolerable to make, which of course not managed. We just stayed the flight. One has absolutely no privacy, since the current people believe it was a restaurant, right next to the rooms. The tables and chairs evenings of completely strange people or uncle George and his cronies to the (loud) playing cards until midnight use it. A horror, you can't for sleeping.
The waiters are very rude and incompetent, it is no matter wether a 2. cushions or similar needs, also private things threw them away.
We had a car ordered, a Jeep i was promised, a Mazda 626 it is then made, which is not really a problem was, because the road surprisingly in good condition are. However, the 5 days, the uncle George me the car free at, initially denied. Only after i gave him the e-mail has shown, it was okay for him. Also he required the car 5 days before the rent drain back, after i gave him the lease showed, changed his opinion.
The rooms itself, we were in ground floor 'king fisher' are rather rustic, the windows have canal view and should to stay. The best are the beds, however only to rest-not for sleeping. Surely we felt not, since the door locks really easy to crack and would have been no in-room safe is available. We would also have uncle George our papers etc. Never to keep clean. Very small kitchenette no place around plates off, cookware is ok. Shower and toilet also okay. Terrace with canal views and noise! Unfortunately mind anything positive more, there was nothing. We arrived with a bad feeling to the ' naturalist ', with a good feeling we drove again and never again.
For us it was a very unsatisfactory stay at this' hotel ' and we can it unfortunately not recommend. The island itself and its local residents is the of course not, tobago itself is a beautiful Karibik island. read hotel review
