Nokia Lumia 1020 inspires developers to push boundaries of smartphone imaging; Nokia Imaging Software Development Kit (SDK) now available at developer.nokia.com
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Espoo, Finland and New York, NY - After unveiling the Nokia Lumia 1020 today, Nokia also debuted a range of exciting applications that push the boundaries of smartphone imaging.
Hipstamatic, Path, Vyclone, SNAPCAM, Panagraph, Yelp, CNN and Foursquare are just a few of the developers building unique applications for the Nokia Lumia 1020 with the new Nokia Imaging SDK. It was also announced that popular personal magazine Flipboard and popular video service Vine will also be coming to Windows Phone.
"Now more than ever, people are using their smartphones to shoot, edit and share pictures," said Marco Argenti, Senior Vice President, Nokia Developer. "With the Nokia Lumia 1020, we are delivering an industry-leading imaging experience that takes people closer to the details that really matter. We've collaborated closely with Microsoft and top developers around the world to deliver unique app experiences, pushing the boundaries of innovation with our ecosystem." The Nokia Imaging SDK was built with the same technology Nokia uses for its own imaging applications, including Smart Camera and Creative Studio. The SDK gives developers flexibility to create advanced imaging experiences in their applications for Nokia Lumia smartphones. Whether applying or creating filters or adding effects and adjustments to images, developers can offer people the ability to instantly personalize photos or relive the moment in a variety of ways.
The SDK is available now at developer.nokia.com , and comes packed with over 50 effects, filters and enhancements. With this SDK, developers can get even more out of their images. Nokia's Random Access JPEG technology allows them to more efficiently manipulate image data to create stunning results. Developers can focus on creating incredibly fast and smooth user experiences because the SDK takes care of much of the image manipulation and effects.
Nokia also launched the Nokia Future/Capture competition at developer.nokia.com/futurecapture to encourage developers to build creative apps and hacks that further push the boundaries of smartphone imaging on the Nokia Lumia 1020.
Nokia is helping developers create unique applications positioned to change the consumer experience on Nokia Lumia smartphones.
Flipboard Later this year, Flipboard will be releasing a new edition of its popular personal magazine designed and developed specifically for Nokia Lumia smartphones. With Flipboard for Windows Phone, readers will have a single place to enjoy the news and updates they care about, as well as discover, create and share magazines on virtually any topic imaginable.
Eric Feng, Chief Technology Officer, Flipboard: " Nokia's commitment to beautiful imagery makes it an ideal partner to bring the Flipboard experience to Windows Phones worldwide. " Hipstamatic Oggl PRO Hipstamatic Oggl PRO was designed specifically for the Nokia Lumia 1020 with a new user interface that sets it apart from the original Oggl app. Also exclusive to Hipstamatic Oggl PRO is the ability to set manual focus and exposure, reframe shots, and use auto-leveling and dual capture features that will inspire a creative approach to storytelling. Hipstamatic Oggl PRO is also equipped with the original Oggl capture and curation features , so users can easily snap and edit photos, share photos on social networks such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and Tumblr, and interact with some of the best photographers from around the world.
Lucas Buick, CEO, Hipstamatic: " Nokia is the first hardware manufacturer to build a smartphone that is a camera-first experience, and it's been exciting working with such a talented hardware team. Hipstamatic Oggl PRO on Lumia 1020 produces incredible photos, and gives unparalleled smartphone camera control to the photographer. " Path Path, is the personal network designed to bring you closer to your friends and family and it's now coming to Windows Phone. Path with Nokia will bring more than 50 free and premium filter effects; along with high resolution & deep zoom imaging capabilities that allow users to capture and share those personal moments and every day works of art. Path users can also share their location, what music they are listening to or movie they are watching as well as express thoughts and moments, chat with private messages, and share emotions with no words through fun-loving stickers from the Path store.
Dave Morin, CEO and Co-Founder, Path: " Nokia has a long history in mobile technology at global scale - it's exciting to be a part of this chapter with them. Windows Phone is one of Path's most requested platforms and the Nokia Lumia has an amazingly sharp camera, bringing Path photo moments to life. We're excited to bring Path to Windows Phone users around the world. " Vyclone Vyclone is a social video platform where Nokia Lumia 1020 users can easily create, sync, edit and combine multiple views of a shared moment. Vyclone instantly combines footage shot by multiple users into one elegant and collaborative multi-angle video.
David King Lassman, Co-Founder & CEO, Vyclone: " We are thrilled and honored to be one of the first Nokia partners to take advantage of the Nokia Lumia 1020's revolutionary video zoom paired with unparalleled image quality - two features that will undoubtedly take Vyclone video creation to new levels of engagement and production value. " SNAPCAM Exclusive at launch to Windows Phone, SNAPCAM is the photo app that helps build photo stories of the events that matter in life, share photo albums with friends and then in just a few taps create stunning, full colour, photo products of your memories and have them delivered to your door to enjoy forever.
Steve Hayward, CEO, SNAPCAM: " Hundreds of millions of photos are being taken on smartphones every day and with the Nokia Lumia 1020, we can now capture our special moments in amazing detail. However, we all have too many great pictures that are simply being forgotten; sitting on phones, hard drives and in the cloud. SNAPCAM makes treasuring your memories, quick, easy, and accessible. " Panagraph.it Panagraph, a Nokia exclusive, is an advanced photo app that utilizes multi-touch gestures to create photo mosaic images where a single image takes on the look of individual tiled shots. Shared socially, or printed large scale, the app creates stunning images that are more engaging expressions of the captured moment.
Tim Hogan, Co-Founder, Panagraph.it: " The threshold between the exacting nature of the photo studio and real life is now much narrower. Nokia Lumia 1020 frees people to capture high resolution images in more spontaneous ways. Panagraph fully leverages the hi-fidelity Nokia Imaging SDK which allowed us to focus on creating the signature photo mosaic effect that lets people express their vision and relive those moments in a unique new way. " Yelp Local search app Yelp delivers an immersive experience to users with a Nokia Lumia 1020, featuring an augmented reality function that enables a real-time view of Yelp reviews and star ratings through the camera lens. Users can capture and share high resolution photos, view Yelp purchased deals with Wallet, use speech to text search, and use app to app integration with HERE Maps, all without leaving the Yelp app experience.
Eric Singley, Vice President of Products, Consumer and Mobile, Yelp: " We're thrilled to partner with Nokia to bring Yelp to Windows Phone 8 and expand Yelp's availability to more users through this new platform. Yelp's vast array of rich user generated content is a perfect pairing with Nokia's great devices. We're looking forward to connecting people with great local businesses with this rich, visual mobile experience. " CNN CNN is optimizing the CNN App for Windows Phone 8 for the Nokia Lumia 1020. Building on CNN's robust selection of news stories, images and video; panoramic interface and direct access to iReport through the app, CNN has added a number of features with the Nokia Imaging SDK.
Craig Kirkland, Sr. Director of Product Strategy, CNN Digital: " The CNN App for Windows Phone 8 continues to give consumers a great news and information experience. Through CNN's app, iReporters can share even higher quality photos and videos with the camera on the Nokia Lumia 1020. " Foursquare Using the new Nokia Lumia 1020, Foursquare users will now be able to take high-resolution photos wherever they check in and apply one of over 50 new photo filters. These enhanced photo capabilities are a natural complement to the rich tools Foursquare provides for sharing and recording real-world experiences. Along with existing business information such as phone numbers, addresses, and operating hours, the addition of high-quality photos to merchants' listings on foursquare will help users continue to find great places around them, both at home and when travelling.
Holger Luedorf, Vice President of Business Development, Foursquare: " Foursquare's mission is to help our users make the most of where they are and where they are going, and photos at local business pages are a huge resource for people to research locations before they go there. Foursquare on Nokia Lumia 1020 will provide our users a simple way to take, enhance, and share photos of where they are, allowing them to detail their experiences and providing a valuable resource for other Foursquare users who haven't been there yet. " About Nokia Nokia is a global leader in mobile communications whose products have become an integral part of the lives of people around the world. Every day, more than 1.3 billion people use their Nokia to capture and share experiences, access information, find their way or simply to speak to one another.

I am a PhD student in the School of Medicine at Nottingham University, researching the impact of diet in early life on brown adipose tissue growth and development. This (hopefully) represents the start of a late career change from accountancy. I came across TeX and LaTeX while participating in a maths forum at the Open University, and subsequently attended an introductory course given by Joseph Wright in London at the end of August 2011. My plan is to write my PhD thesis in LaTeX, though this seems to be a rarity in the biomedical sciences. My supervisors have given me strict instructions to write it in MS Word, so it's going to get interesting...

Manhattan Muffaletta

Is there any place that even tries to make a muffaletta on this island? I'm not asking to be pointed to the best muffaletta, just ANY muffaletta. I have a serious craving which I could easily satisfy with my own hands, but if there is a deli with taste enough to have this as part of their repertoir I'd like to know.
We've been to Delta Grill in Hell's Kitchen a couple times. I've only ever had their muffaletta sandwich so I have no means for comparison, but let's just say he ordered it and I kept stealing it!
0 -
Murray's Cheese makes their version of a Muffaletta- it's more gourmet than most, but at least you know that the ingredients are top-notch. I don't think they make it every day though, I would call and ask.

I have never had it, but I am drawn downtown as though caught in a tractor beam for their bbq brisket, soft shell crabs (when they have them), and these oysters bienville that are to die for. Also, every dessert I've had has been fantastic.

Thank you to my husband for sharing his side of our journey to make healthier lifestyle and food choice. He doesn't give himself enough credit for how far he really has come. It's easy for me because I love food, even the unpopular ones like brussel sprouts. But he's made significant changes and he's healthier for them. Plus, he's set a fabulous example for our boys and supported me all the way…even when it meant making his own dinner because he just couldn't stomach what I had prepared. I love you, sweetie! Thanks for sharing.
Hello out there. I'm the picky eater you've been reading about since Calie started blogging several years ago. And this week, I get to guest post on her blog for the first time to share my side of the story.
If I were to chart my eating habits for a week and share them with you, it wouldn't be all that impressive. You wouldn't hold me up as a model for a healthy, balanced diet. It's true, where I am isn't all that amazing, unless you consider where I was.
In high school, my breakfast routine was a bottle of Dr. Pepper and a Snickers bar.
I'm pretty sure I managed to go my entire collegiate career without eating a single piece of fruit. Meanwhile, I probably averaged 10-12 hamburgers per week, mixing in some Hamburger Helper for variety. Cheeseburger Macaroni was my helper of choice.
When Calie and I first met, my daily menu was Pop-Tarts for breakfast, Hot Pockets for lunch and then either fast food or a frozen pizza for dinner. All I drank was coffee, soda and sweet tea. No water. No juice. Only caffeine. Glorious caffeine.
As recently as 5 years ago, my diet hadn't really improved. I was eating some fruit and a few veggies here and there, but largely was living on carbs, red meat, sugar and the aforementioned caffeine. Those were the four food groups as far as I was concerned.
As Calie embarked on her journey toward wellness, I initially dug in my heels like the stubborn mule that I am. I revolted. I doubled down on my unhealthy habits. She responded by trying to sneak puree into the spaghetti sauce and slip turkey tacos by me claiming they were ground beef. This of course was an act of food treason in my mind. This "betrayal" didn't help things along.
Over time, I saw the difference that better food choices were making in the health of Calie and the boys. I didn't have any health issues, thanks mostly to good fortune and genes, but as Calie learned more about food and taught me more about food, I began to realize that she was right. Ugh. It was time to at least try.
I'm one of the pickiest eaters you've ever met, so suddenly adopting a healthy diet, filled with broccoli and berries and organic this, non-processed that, was a non-starter. I'd either starve to death or be knee-deep in a bag of Chips Ahoy before the sun went down.
So, I've gone about healthy eating in my own way, at my own pace. It's been slow, but over time I've made a lot of progress, despite my lifelong bad habits and my finicky taste buds. Here's how I'm doing it.
The first step in my healthy eating evolution was to simply remove things from my diet. I had so many bad habits, so it was easy to find things that just needed to stop. I've dropped fast food, soda, candy bars, my Doritos, my hooooot pockets (cue Jim Gaffigan), sugary cereals, pop tarts, donuts…sorry, this list gets quite long, so I'll stop there.
Step two for me was to allow Calie to help me sub in healthier versions of things I loved. Bread for instance. I love bread. And now I've adjusted to eating whole wheat instead of white. This was one of the hardest transitions for me. We also subbed out our old pasta, boxed pancake mix and other staples for healthier alternatives. We transitioned to grass-fed beef and went to whole grain chips among other things.
There were actually a handful of foods that I liked that were good for me. Or at least not gut rotting. These included some fruits like bananas, apples, oranges. And a small handful of vegetables, like green beans and salad. So, along the way, I've ginned up those healthy favorites and eat them even more regularly.
The final step in the process, for me, has been to add items to the menu. This one is still slow going, but I'm getting there. My taste buds are a worthy adversary. But I have had a few victories along the way, such as bell peppers, beans (pureed), blueberries, cashews, white fish and quinoa. And most importantly, water. Lots and lots of water!
In the end, I'm still a work in process. I'm eating chocolate ice cream while I finish up this post. But considering where I came from, I'm also Calie's greatest accomplishment. And a testament that you can teach an old(er) dog new tricks. Even when he doesn't want to learn them.

Breaking News / Rumor In Good Old Encinitas: The first Mayor's race
Encinitas politics is a really fun blood sport. And the newest piece of info/rumor to hit the spotlight is that none other than Sheila Cameron has decided to run for the Mayor's seat and has put in the papers to make it official! This is the first election in the history of Encinitas where the voters will elect the Mayor, rather than the City Council selecting from its ranks.
Bees and disease in Encinitas???
"Looking at an aerial map of Encinitas in the 1970s and 1980s compared to today, it's sad," Tony Kranz said. "The city had agriculture everywhere; we have to fight for small farms today."
BUT, a new study from UC Davis says the exposure of pregnant women to agriculture may increase the incidence of babies being born with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Yet Encinitas Deputy Mayor Kranz wants to increase small agriculture in suburban neighborhoods, including bee hives. Bees? Our family-friendly suburban neighborhoods are to be living with swarms of bees if this guy gets his way? Really?
Out With the Old, in With the New
Newly elected Encinitas City Councilman-elect, Tony Kranz, has indicated via email to the City that he is having "trouble" grasping the grading required for the Encinitas Community Park, a 43 acre $18 million dollar project, 12 years and countless public meetings as well as hearings and litigation, in the making.
He seems to want a 3D model built for this project (already under construction) which would cost about $56,000 to create.
Dang! $56,000 because this guy can't visualize grade changes?
Seems extreme, but hey, the voters selected him to represent them…
I can't wait to see what comes next.

Best-Dressed Models and Celebrities Week of August 20, 2012
This Week's Best Dressed
The Summer may be winding down, but that didn't stop this week's chicest from showing off their warm-weather best. At the premiere of Lawless in Los Angeles, Bella Heathcote was super sleek in a subtly printed dress from Jonathan Saunders's Resort 2013 collection, while at the premiere of Bachelorette, Kirsten Dunst's ruffled blue Resort 2013 Jean Paul Gaultier looked both glamorous and breezy. Perhaps the most beguiling look of the week was Gwyneth Paltrow's teal tweed minidress at the screening of End of Watch in East Hampton — although it's hard to imagine any ensemble looking horrible when Jake Gyllenhaal is at your side.
Those looks — plus Jennifer Missoni's pastel zigzags at the premiere of Lawless (left) — and more, here in our weekly best-of roundup.

Bank Stocks to Benefit From More 'Stress': Goldman
Regulators could also adopt a more stringent treatment of deferred tax asset arising from stressed losses, "effectively removing the tax shield for some banks and making stressed losses a one-for-one hit to capital."
"Regulators could also reduce capital deployment through the qualitative aspect of the stress test, something that remains difficult to handicap," the analysts add.
Banks with the largest potential increase from last year include Citigroup, Regions Financial (RF - Get Report), KeyCorp (KEY - Get Report), SunTrust (STI - Get Report), Discover Financial (DFS) and Northern Trust (NTRS).
Morgan Stanley (MS) also screens well, but the analysts expect the investment bank to prioritize completing the acquisition of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.
In addition, the analysts also include banks with the highest "margin of error"- banks that could afford to see their loan losses increase 50% or operating profit drop 50%, maintain a payout ratio of 50% and still maintain a common capital of 5.5%. American Express (AXP), Citigroup, KeyCorp, Morgan Stanley and all the trust banks meet this criteria. -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York>To contact the writer of this article, click here: Shanthi Bharatwaj. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/shavenk. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Available for Jose D (Oquwa) Roybal:
J.D. Roybal (1922-1978), whose first name was José, and whose Tewa name was Oquwa (Rain God), was a well-known painter from San Ildefonso Pueblo. He was born on November 7, 1922 at San Ildefonso, the son of Tonita and Juan Cruz Roybal. He passed away June 28, 1978. He was a nephew of Alfonso Roybal.
He did a bit of painting in the 1930s but was not very productive until the 1950s. He was most productive in the 1960-1970 decade. His most popular subject matter was his rendition of the Tewa Clowns known as Koshare or Koosa. Often he presented them in a jovial manner.
He used water-based paints throughout his career. His excellent detail in small paintings never went unnoticed. In his work there prevails fine color, excellent detail, small and fine outlines, gesturing figures, and a pleasing combination of heavy conventional themes with realistic subjects.

Annan's Peace Plan Turns Focus To Syria's Supporters
Robert Siegel speaks with David Ignatius, columnist for the Washington Post. He says he believes Kofi Annan's plan to involve Russia and Iran in stopping the violence in Syria might work.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
Washington Post columnist David Ignatius wrote earlier this week about Kofi Annan's new approach and he joins us now from Beirut, Lebanon. Welcome to the program once again.
DAVID IGNATIUS: Good to be with you, Robert.
SIEGEL: And first, David, how different is this initiative from Annan's diplomatic mission so far?
IGNATIUS: Well, it's a wider group. Annan is proposing a contact group that would include all of the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, including Russia and China, who've been balking at his diplomacy so far. But interestingly, he would also include in this contact group Saudi Arabia, perhaps Qatar, Turkey, and most interestingly of all, Iran.
And his theory is that to break this logjam, he's got to bring in the countries that have been Assad's key supporters.
SIEGEL: You wrote in your column on Tuesday that Bashar al-Assad has transferred money to Russia and that the Russians are reportedly willing to provide him asylum. Do you think that's a likely resolution of his situation?
IGNATIUS: Well, I think he's going to need asylum somewhere. The bloodletting that's going to follow his departure from power as president is going to be a problem for everyone, but especially for the Assad clan and especially the president. I'm told that Russia has already offered him exile, as has Iran. And as I wrote in my column, I've heard, I think, reliable reports that Assad had already transferred about $6 billion in Syrian reserves to Russia to prevent those reserves from being attached by the international community as it adds new economic sanctions against Syria.
SIEGEL: Assad's exile in Russia, I guess, would fit the definition of a Yemen-style transition, which Russians have talked about. Presumably, Russia, if they did accept the end of Bashar al-Assad's presidency, would still want to see a Syria that remains friendly to them. Can you imagine a Syria that does remain friendly to Iran and Russia and that the opposition groups could tolerate?
IGNATIUS: Well, I think that's the price that Russian President Vladimir Putin essentially is demanding here - some guarantee that Russia will have continued influence in its only significant ally in the Middle East. So I think what Annan has seen is that plan B to the failure of his peace initiative is an outright, all-out civil war that could be as bloody as what we saw in Iraq.
So Annan has thought it may make sense to meet the price that Putin is, in effect, asking by bringing them into this process. And I think everybody also wants to try to protect the stability of the Syrian governing structure. In other words, to get Assad and his family, this ruling clique at the top, out, but not create the kind of vacuum that we saw in Iraq. So that's another reason why this plan, I think, is getting some support.
SIEGEL: David, from what you've heard from Syrians, do they perceive a practical difference between what you've called the Assad clique and the situation of the Alawite minority in Syria more broadly? That is, would the end of the Assads mean ultimately a reworking of the whole balance of sects and ethnicities in Syria?
IGNATIUS: Well, there is deepening sectarian bitterness in Syria. The people who were doing the killing in these massacres that we've seen over the last several weeks, in Houla and then yesterday in Qubeir, appear to be informal militias that are drawn largely from the Alawites, as are the commanders of the army units that have been doing most of the fighting.
So there's a lot of bitterness. But I think everybody, every responsible person who's part of the Syrian opposition, understands that job one for them in building a real political transition is to reach out to Syria's minorities and say, even though Sunnis are the large majority in Syria, this is your country, too, and we understand that and we understand your fear.
And I think there probably have to be guarantees by this contact group of the world's leading powers saying, we stand ready to prevent any massacre of Alawites, of Christians, of people who are associated with the regime. It's not going to work perfectly 'cause there clearly is going to score settling - no matter what anybody says or tries to do.
But the idea - and I've heard a lot of talk among White House officials about this, as well - is how do we keep that bloodletting at a minimum once Assad is gone.
SIEGEL: David Ignatius, thank you very much for talking with us today.
IGNATIUS: Thank you.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Blue Bird Corp. introduced the latest offering of its Type D All American school bus here at the National Association for Pupil Transportation's annual trade show.
"We based the development of this new bus heavily on the needs and desires of end users," said Roger Howsmon, Blue Bird's chief marketing officer and senior vice president of sales. "Through extensive research, we were able to identify features that are important to drivers, service technicians and transportation directors. We redesigned the bus to implement those features, making the new All American our safest and most reliable bus yet."
According to Joe Frabotta, product development manager, these features increase visibility and safety, with a larger front windshield and wipers that clear approximately 90 percent of the visible area.
The vehicle's entrance is wider, taller, power-controlled and has no change in the step dimensions from the ground floor. The emergency exit door is also wider, with larger, bonded windows. A new steering system allows for a wheel cut of up to 50 degrees, enhancing vehicle maneuverability.
The bus is available in a front- or rear-engine configuration and features progressive styling, a one-piece body bow and a coach-style profile. Its exterior displays a restyled warning light module and roof caps. Inside the bus, the driver's platform has been eliminated; driver ergonomics have also been improved, with more room and better instrumentation placement and grouping. Passenger seats are high-back and channel-mounted.
Dennis Whitaker, vice president of product development for Blue Bird, said the new All American school bus will go into production in spring 2009.

House | 3 bedrooms | sleeps 6
Key Info |
The house is in the village of Argés 6 kms outside Toledo ( pronounced Arhes). Toledo is lively and busy throughout the year. Its hotels can be costly. Choosing to stay in here will give you a real insight into Spanish life. After a day visiting Toledo, it makes a welcome change to return to the tranquility of Argés and to relax with all 'mod-cons' in the comfort of our home. The Argés locals are famously warm and hospitable.
We bought our home new nine years ago. It´s a linked-property on a very small development. My husband now works in London. This is why we have decided to rent it out to discerning visitors who we hope will respect and enjoy its pleasing location and all the amenities which it offers.
Let me say straight away that the house is unashamedly modern, and although a typical tourist may at first prefer the idea of an old rustic mill off the beaten track, please let me stress that I too like 'old' but my Spanish husband (a civil engineer who knows and cares about such things) soon squashed my romantic notions by showing me one or two 'old and rustic' hideaways! Our house, on the contrary, is wonderfully comfortable and everything works. In Spain that is sometimes not always the case! So it's ideal as a holiday getaway. We have lashings of hot water, electricity, comfortable furniture, good beds, clean linen and all the usual mod cons.
We want you to enjoy your holiday and to remember Toledo and our home. We want this to be home from home for you. It's very comfortable, not some spruced-up holiday let, with stick furniture, too many ants and nylon sheets!
The fully fitted kitchen comes complete with all the usual crockery and utensils and we are happy to arrange a welcome pack on arrival at a cost of 40€ which includes wine, fresh milk, teabags, coffee, sugar, water, biscuits, bread, cheese and cold meats. Please confirm when making your reservation.
We have 3 good-sized bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (two with full-size baths and fitted showers and one which is a beautiful and newly-fitted shower room downstairs) and a living room with the usual accoutrements including a splendid dining table. We have a cot available.
Our patio at the back of the house is small and walled, a wonderful sanctuary where we have spent many a summer evening enjoying a glass of chilled cava and dinner al fresco. The patio is a private haven.
We use a professional cleaning firm to keep the property immaculate before and after your visit. Your beds will be made up with freshly laundered bed linen and clean bathroom towels.

About this location
The Castilla La Mancha region
Visit Toledo!
The Alcazar is one of Toledo´s best known landmarks. Dating back to the Roman period, inside it houses a wonderful library. Take the lift to the top floor café to see the magnificent views looking down over Toledo and beyond.
A less touristic museum, well worth a visit is the home and workshop of sculptor Victorio Macho. The gardens have unsurpassed views of the river Tajo.
One of the most outstanding buildings is the Cathedral built between 1226 and 1492. Entrance fee is around 7€ per person and no photos are allowed, but go as there is a collection of paintings by El Greco and Goya. El Greco´s house and Museum exhibits some of his finest works which helped put Toledo on the map.
Toledo had one of the largest Jewish populations in Spain. The Synagogue Santa María La Blanca, was built in 1180. The synagogue is almost two centuries older than the more elaborate and touristy Tránsito synagogue. Next door there is an Arab tearoom.
Another fun thing to do is to wind your way down to the river Tajo. It´s a hidden gem and you can walk along the river. Enjoy a picnic or feed the ducks down by the jetty. There is a bar with an old shaggy dog (friendlier than its owners I must add), and an ice cream kiosk (typically Spanish – rarely open). The former diamond merchant used to live here and you will see his attractive Toledano home.
You can buy swords, as well as furniture and every type of decorative item. I can personally recommend a lovely leather shop, Angel Serrano, next toSan Juan de los Reyes church. I bought a handbag. It cost 68€ and it would be marked up at double that in Harrods. The owner is the designer, and the shop has been in the family for generations. What I love about it is the quality of the goods. That smell of real leather. They have created a clever mix of classic and contemporary designs.
Be sure to splash out on a 6€ box of very sweet handmade marzipan from one of the convents. The nuns make it to a secret recipe. I once asked them for it, and they started giggling, telling me it was top secret and only they and God knew. That must be why it tastes so scrumptious – its authenticity! Try a small piece and you will see that it is impossible not to fall for this famous sugary Toledo delight.
Traditional restaurants do not serve lunch until 1.30pm.
Cigarrales were former wealthy landowner estates which have since been converted into excellent eating haunts. Take your camera. The views looking down over Toledo are sensational. It´s a mecca for photographers, artists and tourists from dawn till dusk. You will need to take a taxi from the house to get to the Cigarrales (a 10 minute journey), but once there they are all bunched together so you can walk from one to the other.
Cigarral de Los Caravantes is an elegant spot to enjoy a drink on the terraza soaking up the last of the warm La Mancha sunshine. It´s sophisticated, yet relaxed. From Los Caravantes you can walk to Cigarral Venta del Alma. Owned by a famous Toledano poet it´s enjoyed by Toledo´s jet-set. At weekends it brims with Toledanos enjoying cava and mojitos. After midnight the courtyard turns into a super-cool, late-night haunt with strobe lighting and music.
If you do hire a car there are loads of places to visit all within an easy drive. Cuenca, Aranjuez (where the Spanish Royal family have a Summer residence), Segovia, Avila, Salamanca, all World Heritage cities, and each one of them is historically, culturally and architecturally, an absolute pearl. Don't, of course, forget Madrid – just a whistle-stop away on the train – and one of the most lovely and lively capital cities in the world.
After a day visiting Toledo, it makes a welcome change to return to the tranquility of Argés and to relax with all 'mod-cons' in the comfort of our home. The Argés locals are famously warm and hospitable. Make sure you visit the market selling fresh produce every Wednesday morning. The square itself is always bustling with locals. There are lots of little very inexpensive places where you can eat, sip coffee or have a drink with tapas. Everything revolves around the Square, where there are four or five little bars and eating places and where the entire world and its family gather most evenings (very Spanish) to laugh and to gossip and to have the occasional caña (light draught beer) or glass of locally grown and quite delicious rosé.
Just up the road in Layos, there's an excellent riding school and a new and very lovely 18-hole golf course where you can play a round for prices that are unbelievably low compared with most other parts of Europe. Just 5 minutes by car. The hotel there offers spa day packages for non-golfers.
Walk amongst the olive trees to the reservoir. It´ll take a couple of hours but you can sit on one of the benches en route.
From June-September the Argés public swimming pool is open. It´s a nice place to relax, unwind and cool off for a few hours. The children will love it. There´s a bar that serves lunchtime home cooked food. Tip: Go when it opens at 11am or at 2pm when the Spanish eat – to avoid the crowds. The water is cleaned regularly.
You can hire a car locally at Toledo train station or fly to Madrid, say, and hire one there and then drive to Argés. It'll take about an hour to drive. Many prefer to hop on the super- fast and comfortable AVE train from Madrid Atocha to Toledo (about 25 minutes and around 18 Euros return) which makes most British trains look desperately shabby, limp and unreliable. From there it's a 12 Euro taxi ride to Argés.
There's a regular bus service from Argés to Toledo and back (timetable on fridge). It's fun and cheap (about 2 Euros) and very enjoyable (even my husband likes it, and he's no fan of buses). Bus stops at Toledo bus station and then you can walk up into the old town. It´s uphill so be sure to wear good walking shoes. Or catch the bus to the main square named Zocodover.
If you do hire a car there are loads of places to visit all within an easy drive. Cuenca, Aranjuez (where the Spanish Royal family have a Summer residence), Segovia, Avila, Salamanca (all World Heritage cities) and each one of them is historically, culturally and architecturally, an absolute pearl. Don't, of course, forget Madrid – just a whistle-stop away on the train – and one of the most lovely and lively capital cities in the world.
Do pass through Layos and other villages and stop at the "leather village". It´s an unattractive, nondescript road (like any in Spain) but with leather shops and factories on either side. The leather products are made by hand and great for presents. Cheaper to buy here than in Toledo. A hidden gem to visit. Try not to spend too much.
Visit the famous Don Quixote windmills in Consuegra. Approximately 20 minutes from Argés. Having studied Spanish literature at University I was fascinated by the Man from La Mancha – the famous Don Quixote, written by Cervantes. He dons an old suit of armour and begins his mad-capped adventures that begin here, in Castilla La Mancha aboard his very thin, old horse named Rocinante. Quixote is wildly idealistic due to all the cavalry books he read day in day out before his wild adventures. His sidekick, Sancho Panza, is pot-bellied, faithful and loved Quixote dearly. In the end, he was courageous enough to tell Quixote that he might be imagining things, and that the windmill sails were neither enemies nor giants. Hence the English idiom: Tilting at windmills. In every Spanish household you will find the adventures of Don Quixote but when I ask friends if they have read its entirety, they respond "Hell No!" then roar with laughter.

"Good place to stay just outside Toledo"
Helpful (UK based) owners. Clean and well equipped and crucially everything works. Arges itself is a little non-descript but is close to Toledo and only takes a few minutes to drive into the old town.… More

"Some real gems in this area."
We have just returned from a most enjoyable two weeks based in Arges. The house had all we required for 4 adults and is in a nice area. Everyone we met was very friendly and helpful, and we were extremely fortunate that the young next door neighbour got us to accident and emergency in the hospital at Toledo, acting as interpreter for us when my husband took ill. At the emergency unit, the service we received was first class and thanks to all the help we received, my husband was quickly on the mend and able to enjoy his holiday. We loved Toledo (about 10 minutes from the house) and found ourselves there quite often in the evenings for a wander and a meal. Most restaurants around the town offer an excellent deal of the day, with starter, main, dessert and drink at a very reasonable cost. The fast train - 25 minutes-from Toledo to Madrid was superb too and so much to see and do in Madrid - we managed to fill a complete Sunday in Retiro Park, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying all the park has to offer. Once in Madrid, the tube system is excellent and again a helpful person explained we could buy a 10 ticket pass for 12 euros and share it , so each trip on the metro, or service bus, no matter how long only cost us 1.20 Euros each, which proved to be quite a saving. The only real disappointment we had was that we had saved a visit to the Royal Palace in Madrid till our last day to discover there was something on and visitors weren't allowed in. However, we did enjoy our visit to the Palace at Aranjuez and Toledo Cathedral is not to be missed. Although we travelled as far as Avila, Segovia and Cuidad Real, for visitors with less time, Toledo is a fabulous city to visit and the house is a good base for the area. If you're driving, the huge free car park beside the bus station in Toledo is ideal as you can catch any of 5 different buses which, for 1.5 Euros, will take you up to the old town. There are a few well placed indoor parking sites in and around the old town, but if you intend to spend more than a couple of hours, they can work out very expensive, anything up to 20 Euros a day. One plus in this area of Spain is the excellent road system, from the house it is only about an hour to Madrid, or the airport and you don't have to use any toll roads

"Ideal base to see the real Spain."
The house itself is huge, 3 lovely double bedrooms with plenty of space and 3 bathrooms. Parking is safe. Supermarket up the road where you can purchase all your needs and the staff are so friendly. … More

"Spacious and comfortable living space"
The house, which is modern & very comfortable, is situated in a small, rapidly expanding town, within walking distance of a large supermarket offering good produce & very inexpensive wines. Midweek you can explore the farmers market and stock up on locally grown produce. There is ample space to park outside the house or on the gated driveway. The area was very quiet and restful, and we felt safe. A couple might want to stay in Toledo itself, but this house is ideal as a base for groups or families. Toledo is a 15 min. drive away. There is much to discover there: historical churches, synagogues & mosques; good museums; winding alleyways; and great restaurants & tapas bars. Busy shopping lanes offer all manner of goodies. We spent most of our week in Toledo. There's free parking in a large lot west of the old town, within walking distance of the escalator leading to tourist information.
This house met our needs well and we would definitely return.

"Fabulous - when can we come back!"
We had a wonderful week in Anna and Luis home. It really was a home from home, beautifully decorated and spotless. The house has 3 lovely bedrooms and 3 bathrooms which was fab. The beds were ultra comfy and the window blinds meant we slept like logs and could have afternoon siestas! The patio garden was so lovely to relax in with dinner and a glass of wine after a full day of sightseeing. Toledo is a UNESCO World heritage site and is just wonderful. Lots of shops and restaurants housed in tiny narrow streets. A world away from where we live and you never tire of it because each time you go back you discover something new. We came back with health glows, relaxed, with lots of interesting stories to share with our friends and family and having had a thoroughly good holiday.

LHS girls fall just short in division title game
It wasn't the prettiest game you've ever seen, but what it lacked in style points it more than made up for with back-and-forth, in-your-face basketball. In the end, it came down to — as so many close games do — the team that made the last play. Saturday night, it was Ripley which got a putback from Dayzsha Rogan 1:12 left to score the winning basket and then it was Rogan who scooted in for a runout layup with seconds to go after a missed free throw by Lafayette to give the regular-season Division 2-4A champion Lady Tigers a 32-29 victory over Lafayette in the 2-4A tournament championship game at the LHS gym.

Lady Chargers win 2 in tourney
Oxford's girls basketball team had a little easier go of it in its final game of the "O" Town Showdown. After holding off Madison-Ridgeland Academy for a 39-34 win Friday, the Chargers took control early against Marshall Academy and cruised to a 61-33 victory Saturday night at the Oxford High gym. The Lafayette Lady Commodores split their two games in the tournament. (December 14, 2014, Page 4B)

Whatever It Takes
Shortly after the catastrophic 1989 Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound, Exxon sent Don Cornett, the company's top official in Alaska at the time, to the fishing port of Cordova to reassure the fishers that the company would make things right. "You have my word," Cornett told them then. "I said it, Don Cornett. We will do whatever it takes to keep you whole. We do business straight."
No one in Cordova's Masonic Lodge tonight, where attorney Brian O'Neill has called a town meeting, has forgotten that promise, and no one has failed to notice that things haven't exactly worked out that way. O'Neill, a lawyer with the Minneapolis firm Faegre & Benson and the head of the legal team on this case, has, for ten years, returned to Cordova regularly to update his clients on the progress of the civil case against Exxon.
At this meeting, a man walks in late. He pours himself a cup of coffee and stands back near the kitchen, listening to his neighbors talk about how they now consider their wives' health insurance plans dowries and how the new definition of a high-liner is a fisherman whose wife has a good job. He listens to as much as he seems able, then turns to O'Neill and says, "Where in the hell is my money? That's what I want to focus on. If any of us knew we'd be having this meeting fourteen years later, we'd have liquidated and moved out. Maybe we should have."
The man's name is Phil Lian, and in 1988 he was one of the most successful fishers and businessmen in Cordova, fishing the sound and selling supplies to Cordova's fleet. His business was growing at 80 percent a year, and grossing $2 million a year. But after the spill, no one needed supplies because no one was going fishing. Today, his empty fishing-supply superstore, across the road from the Cordova Fisherman's Memorial, is a symbol of loss and matters left unresolved.
"We're going to get the award," O'Neill says. "In regards to your anger--"
"I don't like to call it anger," Lian says sharply. "I like to call it frustration."
"Well hell, I'm angry!" O'Neill shouts.
The story of Cordova is not just a sad tale of a few bad fishing seasons. It is the story of how corporations can use the legal system and the seeming apathy of the federal government to avoid responsibility for their actions. It's been ten years since a federal jury awarded the fishers and Natives on the sound $5.2 billion in punitive damages from Exxon, but not a single check from that award has been cut. Instead, Exxon has been fighting the verdict, employing hundreds of lawyers, filing countless appeals and effectively buying science that supports its claims. And even when ordinary people think they've finally won--that the final appeal has been denied--they haven't. Perhaps they never will. Says O'Neill, "They see me as part of a system that's failed them."
On March 23, 1989, Captain Joseph Hazelwood stepped onto the oil tanker Exxon Valdez having consumed, according to him, three vodkas on the rocks at various bars in the port city of Valdez. Affidavits from bartenders in the port, however, claimed the captain drank the equivalent of five doubles, or, in the words of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, enough to make most people unconscious. The 11-million-gallon spill that occurred while he was in command eventually spread down 1,200 miles of coastline. The environmental damage was catastrophic. Cleanup crews watched in horror as otters scratched out their own eyes to rid them of oil. Justice Department teams recovered the carcasses of more than 36,000 migratory birds and a thousand sea otters, and believe they represent only a fraction of the actual numbers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Benjamin06 Relaxing holiday
This resort, Sheraton at Denarau island, Fiji is of such a high standard that we returned for the second time last week. I was not expecting the large security deposit of FJ$2100 to be taken off my credit card as on my previous visit the holding deposit was only FJ$200. I don't understand how this money is removed from our credit card straight away but can't be returned straight away back to my card on departure. Not impressed. However we had the best holiday.

We stayed over the Christmas & New Year period - had a ocean front room - we booked this room in june and asked for a low floor - had 1st floor - found out that some friends had only booked the week before christmas and had ground floor -did ask when we checked in to move - but they said no vacanies - our room key on several occasions did not work - had to wait for reception to change very annoying when you come back and want to get into your room - even was told on one occasion it was our fault - eventually had to replace our room swipe machine as this was the fault. Overall the pool bar staff were excellent - not to happy about reception and check in staff -

I know it's lovely to have the openness in the buffet area but when you see birds landing on the food and taking food from peoples plates it's not very hygienic. The westin had fine mesh around so I can't see why the same couldn't be done. As a person who is absolutely petrified of birds it made it unpleasant for me.

What a gorgeous location! We stayed in a ground floor Ocean Front room and this was beautiful, with magic views. Our 5y.o loved to explore the beachfront and we could watch her safely from our patio.
The biggest highlight for us was the Kids Club and their staff. Our daughter wanted to go to every session and actually cried when we left. She had the best time and made new friends - and this made our trip so much easier. Also gave us plenty of time to relax by the pool and enjoy a cocktail or two.
Thank you so much. We can't wait to come back!

This hotel is OK for access to the golf course and faces the sandy beach. It is not the true Fijian beach holiday resort you see in the brochures but is smart and clean and has good facilities ie restaurants pools etc.
Some additional staff at check in would help and better recognition of SPG members. Overall its OK if staying at Denarau is what you want to do.

Rated 3 out of 5 by alfroz Sheraton Denarau Needs Improvement
The hotel did not meet my expectation, and over the years has slid down in quality. Some examples:
1. For room service, there are actual delivery charges! This is ridiculous given it is a HOTEL, a RESORT.
2. There were no pens inside my room to write information when on phone to the staff.
3. I ordered coffee with milk. I was given hot water, a sachet of coffee (2 star motels do this), and a note to use milk in the fridge, which there were none. I had to ask for milk and was charged separately for the milk.
4. The food prices were very expensive, literally a rip off. I travel around the world and have rarely found such pricing for such low level service.
I will not be eager to stay at Sheraton Fiji again; I travel yearly to Fiji and have preferred Sheraton, but no longer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BobF63 Wonderful experience and service
We had a fantastic time staying here for Xmas week, where the staff made us feel so welcome, and were very friendly and polite. I love the the fact there are shops and a pantry (great idea!!) for buying small things like snacks/coffee etc. The room (ocean studio) was brilliant (better than expected), and clean, and housekeeping did a superb job. I could go on, but I just want to say a huge thank you to all the staff who did a great job looking after us, and we cannot wait to return in 2014!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Buck60 This hotel was ideal for the purposes of our stay.
My 18 year old daughter and myself stayed for 7 nights at the hotel and our experience was most enjoyable. My daughter became ill and the hotel staff efficiently cared for her and organtsed for an in-house doctor to visit. Staff also arranged for her prescribed medication to be filled and delivered. The fruit platter and card were greatly appreciated. Our only "complaint" was the lack of internet access. Four computer screens are NOT adequate for a hotel of this size.Eventually, the Link facilities were closed for service and the facility was without air conditioning. The hotel's convenient location to Port Denarau was ideal for cruises and variety in dining experiences.

I am going to start working on my birth plan and am hoping for lots of examples to help me. Can you please post your own or others birth plans or good websites that help the process?
Some things specific to me:
- di/di twins
- Advanced Maternal Age-I will be 36 at delivery so I technically am AMA and the Dr's bring it up often
- GBS+ and will be receiving Abx at hospital during labor BUT would like to refuse most IV fluids and have a Hep-Lock when not getting Abx
- want/need to be able to move around alot to help with labor pain.
Any birth plans including these things would be great, but would like like to see plans that don't address them too.
Thanks so much

I hope you'll get lots of good examples! I just wanted to wish you well as I was also considered "high risk" (gestational diabetes in my case) and thus had to put up with some stuff I didn't really want (like being hooked up to an IV the whole time, blood sugar checks/insulin/blahblahblah).
I am afraid my birth plan was "I want a healthy baby, and I'd like to come out healthy too, but meanwhile if we could limit interventions it would be great" but in retrospect that was the perfect plan for me. The doctor (who I'd never met before as mine was out of town--such great timing when my water broke!) seemed to take it as evidence of my reasonableness, and deferred to my wishes when she had to make judgement calls about an intervention (Pitocin). It worked out well in the end and I got my healthy baby! :)
Best wishes to you & good luck with the birth!
Mom to the wacky and wonderful Kalyani (August 2011)
Thanks! That is basically what I want too. I would like to be specific about somethings, mobility (walking and moving is how I manage the pain), Hep-lock and especially WRT the babies. Since there is a slight chance they might have to go to different places (ie one to NICU, one to room) I want to be VERY clear about our choices for them.
As far as the Dr., I am being seen at a clinic so basically I will see what ever Dr is working on the L&D floor when we go in. I'm glad to hear you had such a positive expereince with your unknown Dr. Our plan is to go in and make friends with the nurse, develop a little bit of a rapport, so that we can work together with her instead of walking in the door with a chip on our shoulder. And I really want to reflect that in our birth plan.

(BaseballStL) -- Carlos Martinez has an opportunity Friday.
While he was pretty good in his first start (making just one really bad pitch that was hit for a home run by Garret Jones) Joe Kelly was just so-so in his.
It's worth noting that the race for the final starting spot in the rotation won't solely come down to who is better in spring between Martinez and Kelly, however, their performances will have something to do with the decision.
Martinez can make yet another statement today in his quest to start. That's especially true since Mike Matheny will be there watching up close.

Pilgrim's Pride Bid No Surprise for Hillshire, Blackstone
Updated from 11:56 a.m. ET to include analyst comments, afternoon share prices.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Don't think Blackstone Group (BX), the majority owner of Pinnacle Foods (PF - Get Report), was surprised by Pilgrim's Pride's (PPC - Get Report) interest in buying Hillshire Brands (HSH), potentially nixing a $6.6 billion deal takeover of Pinnacle by Hillshire that was announced on May 12.
Differing termination fees paid to Pinnacle Foods in the event Hillshire Brands wasn't able to acquire the company signals it was aware a suitor might emerge for Hillshire. That knowledge of a potential bid indicates Pinnacle shareholders may be overreacting to Pilgrim's Pride unsolicited offer to buy Hillshire Brands for $6.4 billion, disclosed on Tuesday morning.
Pinnacle Foods shares were falling nearly 7% in late Tuesday trading, while Hillshire Brands shares were rising over 22% to $45.39. Pilgrim's Pride shares were rising over 1% in afternoon trading to $25.49 as a result of its all-cash offer, trimming some early trading gains.
WATCH: More market update videos on TheStreet TV | More videos from Debra Borchardt
Two Term Fees
Pinnacle was poised to receive $43 million if Hillshire shareholders didn't support the May 12 merger and $163 million if a suitor emerged for Hillshire. Those two separate termination fees -- one in the event Hillshire shareholders hated the Pinnacle merger and one in the event Hillshire became a takeover target -- were slightly unusual. However, Pilgrim's Pride's decision to unveil a $45 a share unsolicited premilinary proposal for Hillshire Brands on Tuesday explains the dual termination fees paid to Pinnacle Foods, which continued to count Blackstone Group as a controlling shareholder after its April 2013 initial public offering. In fact, Blackstone and Pinnacle Foods were likely aware that Pilgrim's Pride was interested in buying Hillshire Brands when they negotiated the May 12 transaction. Pilgrim's Pride said in its proposal for Hillshire Brands it had met with the company's management about a possible transaction on February 20th.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
