it was 2 miles from my destination
.we were so frightened at night to sleep we had to keep a chair against door and my daughter slept with a knife by her bed.... dirty... scary... I think they may rent rooms out by the hour.
Great value for the cost. Not many dining options nearby, but Wawa across street offers a surprising variety of healthier grab-and-go options.
Only negative was bathroom smelled like smoke. Likely bleeding in from a smoking room. Bathroom was a little beat up. Othrwise overall was satisfactory
The spa bath tub.
The beds were terrible, the room was not clean, and the non smoking room, had smoke smell coming through the vents.
Country setting.
Rooms are falling apart. Breakfast is not nearly as good as other residents Ins that I have been at. Location is not pretty.
There is not one thing I liked about this Inn.
Old furniture stacked up outside and across the parking lot. Net pictures lie. Room felt dirty. Lowlifes. A dump. DON'T GO THERE. Help didn't speak English. Communicated by hand signals. Towels, though washed, were old and stained. Stairwell was dirty.
The location to the Jersey Shore was the best feature. You have access to major highways and entertainment.
There was a swimming pool in disuse. It had not been used for some time. There was a pile of used furniture that needed to be thrown into a dumpster scattered outside.
The hotel was clean and modern. The breakfast was excellent.
The pool is too shallow and too small. We were expecting more from that.
The breakfast was a step better then Holiday Inn at Neptune. Staff was outstanding. Rooms were cleaned at any time during day. We actually stayed an extra day. Roll away bed very comfortable. We would definitely stay again.
This is a pet peeve with all hotels. We asked for extra towels for our granddaughters which was no problem. Except the housekeeping never replace the same amount. Always just left two sets so we would have to hunt down housekeeping staff or go to the desk
Staff was friendly and quiet hotel
Everything was perfect. The room, the staff, the view. It was great before the renovations, even more so after!
Staff was very helpful.
Good location across the street from beach. Updated, modern, comfortable hotel.
The valet parking still has quite a few kinks to work out. It took an exceptionally long time to get our car at checkout.
Location. Staff was very friendly. Room was nice. The staff quickly addressed and shut down the large party happening next to my room.
Paper thin walls and understaffed. People's rooms weren't ready until 5 or 6pm.
The hotel room was clean and didn't smell like smoke and both the night staff and morning staff were extremely friendly and courteous. I would recommend this place to anyone and I will definitley stay here again!
Great location, clean.
The in-room coffee was undrinkable. A carafe of free coffee in the common area would have been greatly appreciated. Since there was none, we had to purchase Starbucks, which we do not enjoy.
It was located near where I needed to be during the day.
The phone system didn't work. The hotel staff knew it didn't work, but did not tell me until checkout. I missed several calls. The front desk did not tell callers the system didn't work.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an

Humorous guide to surviving life at the office
Corporate life, like high school, has a social order that separates the drones from the workers. The queen bees, better known as executives, sit back and enjoy the fruits of their workers¿ labors. In fact, bosses made approximately 40 times more money than average workers in 1980 the figure jumped to about 400 times more by 1999. That¿s unfair, but so is life in the workplace. Michael Flocker offers amusing observations and practical (as well as funny, but impractical) advice in his satirical look at office survival. He covers everything from dress codes and office politics to etiquette and office romances. We recommend this book to any employee who¿s looking for a little comic relief. That pretty much includes everybody.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

I would have called this book Pod Culture instead
I found this book entertaining moreso than a survival guide. The co-worker pranks were very funny. Looking at the workplace as a fun environment instead of the typical books that cater to how to improve your career was a breath of fresh air. I laughed outloud many times.Was this review helpful?

Gulf Oil Spill Response Efforts
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes of Health, activated programs throughout the institute to provide timely and responsive services following the Deepwater Horizon Gulf oil spill.
- Oil Spill Response and Research(208KB)
- Safety Training - Within days of the explosion, the NIEHS Worker Education & Training Program facilitated safety training for more than 100,000 cleanup workers.
- GuLF STUDY ("/Rhythmyx/assembler/render?sys_contentid=6846&sys_revision=1&sys_variantid=639&sys_context=0&sys_authtype=0&sys_siteid=&sys_folderid=" sys_dependentvariantid="639" sys_dependentid="6846" inlinetype="rxhyperlink" rxinlineslot="103" sys_dependentid="6846" sys_siteid="" sys_folderid="") - The NIEHS Epidemiology Program is heading the NIH GuLF STUDY on the long-term health effects of the oil spill. On June 15, NIH Director Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D., announced an investment of $10 million to support the initial stages of the NIEHS' launch of this important research.
- Toxicology Research - NIEHS' National Toxicology Program, working together with Federal partners, is conducting studies to better understand the chemistry, biological fate, and toxicological effects of crude oil and dispersant components and breakdown products.
- Deepwater Horizon Research Consortia ("/Rhythmyx/assembler/render?sys_contentid=3984&sys_revision=4&sys_variantid=639&sys_context=0&sys_authtype=0&sys_siteid=&sys_folderid=" sys_dependentvariantid="639" sys_dependentid="3984" inlinetype="rxhyperlink" rxinlineslot="103" sys_dependentid="3984" sys_siteid="" sys_folderid="") - The NIEHS will fund grants for researcher-community partnerships to address the needs of affected communities.
- The NIEHS has hosted a series of community forums, stakeholder visits, webinars and instructional meetings throughout the 5-state Gulf region in order to promote awareness, participation and coordination for all these programs among local residents, state and local health departments, regional universities and researchers, and federal agency partners.

TravelPod Member ReviewsStrudlhof Hotel & Palais Vienna
The staff were friendly and helpful but not very knowledgeable about the local area which was disappointing. The breakfast was very good, parking was easy (may be seasonal),and the room was spacious. Close to public transport links.
The wifi was extremely slow to the point of frustration. Rooms need refurbishment, looking very tired. This is not a 4 star rating a 3 star rating would be more applicable. Seemed to be bit of price gouging given it was news years eve which is disappointing.

... except one bay. They said that while they are all born bay, most turn white by the time they are 5 or 6. They consider it good luck for there to always be at least one bay in stables,at any given time. They don't begin training until 4 - 5 years old. They where very controlled and the horsemanship is obviously extremely skilled and professional. Our view wasn't the best, but it was ok. We heard and saw the choir well and they were beautiful. ...

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Grieving parents call on America for a serious talk
They want to discuss guns, mental health
The parents of many of the 20 children murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School last month are calling on Americans to begin a conversation about guns and mental health. At an emotional news conference Monday, the parents of six-year-old Ana Márquez-Greene joined other shattered moms and dads to ask people to sign the Sandy Hook Promise, a violence-prevention strategy.
The wording of the vow is simple: "I promise to do everything I can to encourage and support common-sense solutions that make my community and our country safer from similar acts of violence."
Some of the parents lost their composure as they held photos of their slain children. Those pictures of beaming first-graders were a fresh blow to those who grieved with them.
Former Winnipeggers Nelba Márquez-Greene and Jimmy Greene appeared on Good Morning America to promote the idea. "We're hoping that through Sandy Hook Promise, we can bring awareness to issues," they said, "and start a conversation based on love and respect."
Their grief was raw and fresh. It has been a month of repeated loss for the Márquez-Greene family, Winnipeg friend Karen Schroeder said Monday night. They still expect to see Ana bounce through the door and are shattered whenever they do something for the first time without her. She is missing, and it's hard to accept she's not coming back.
Neither parent knows when they might return to work. Their friends have begun collecting money to help pay the family's mortgage and put food on the table.
The Promise is a way for these parents to believe some good will come from their tragedy, from the nation's loss. They have called for a shared conversation about guns and violence, emphasizing some of them are also gun owners.
The reaction to their news conference was swift. Not all of it was positive.
You have to understand that the lunatic fringe gathered when news of the Sandy Hook school massacre became public. Deniers filled the Internet with nonsense, claiming actors played the grieving parents and the small coffins were buried empty. I got an email from a Winnipegger who claimed there was video proof the killings were a hoax.
Negative comments started when Jimmy Greene and Nelba Márquez-Greene appeared on ABC. Here's one that appeared on the network's website:
"Emotionally-driven anti-gun nuts really don't care," someone wrote. "They are driven by fear and narrow-minded prejudices, unable to see beyond themselves and their own emotions. My 16-year-old survived a violent home invasion because he was able to protect himself with one of these so-called 'assault rifles.' These misguided crusaders don't really care about lives... they just hate guns. Shame on them."
Shame on them for asking a country riddled with gun violence to start a conversation about a better way. Shame on them for using their dead children as a lead-in to productive dialogue about safer communities.
U.S. President Barack Obama chided the gun lobby Monday for fanning the flames against possible gun-control measures. He suggested groups like the National Rifle Association are financially motivated to encourage Americans to buy more firearms after mass shootings.
A Pew Research Center poll released Monday found Americans favour putting armed security guards and police in more schools by a two-to-one margin. But 57 per cent oppose more teachers and school officials having guns at work.
David Wheeler, whose little boy, Benjamin, was killed in Newtown, said he hopes everyone listens to the promise and signs on.
"I would respectfully request that any parent that hears these words simply pause for a moment and think, ask yourself, what is it worth doing to keep your children safe?" he said.
You don't have to be an American to ask yourself the same question.

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she wrote for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business -- though she joked she'd get around to them some day.
Sadly, that day will never come. Lindor died in October 2014 after a 15-month battle with brain cancer.
Lindor received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and was awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
Reynolds was 56. She is survived by a husband, mother, a daughter and son-in-law and three stepdaughters.
The Free Press has published an ebook celebrating the best of Lindor's work. It's available in the Winnipeg Free Press Store; all proceeds will be donated through our Miracle on Mountain charity to the Christmas Cheer Board.

Carolina Beach State Park Marina
... up at a free dock at Fishy Fishy Seafood and had lunch. Finished eating and sat in the boat, still socked in. A patch of blue showed up and I thought the fog was finally clearing. Wrong! We crept out of Southport with maybe 50 ft viz at dead low tide that was just starting to reverse. We were using DR, GPS, VHF tuned to 13/16 with foghorn in hand and literally went mark-to-mark the entire way up the river. Radio protocol ...
Short Day
... many gracious people on this trip & got to know them personally.
We will have a nice breakfast out and take advantage of this classy place tomorrow Am. Drew is holding up but hope to have Dr. apt. in line tomorrow am.
Had planned Backgammon tonight but ol' Eagle eyes' is asleep, so will get my book out.

A nice slice of NC
... sold on tap at that pub. We got to try 3 different options and they were all pretty darn tasty. I even didn't mind the IPA which is my least favorite beer. We asked him about places to go in town and he suggested Bon Appetit, a brunch place known for southern food. We put that fact in our pocket and walked around a bit more. After stopping at a cute little coffee shop to warm up our bodies we made our way back to the van and found ourselves a campsite. So as I said before, NC ...
Saint James Plantation Marina
... two hour trip down the Cape Fear River, with wind opposing tide, was lumpy but manageable and making the turn into Southport was a welcome difference from the rough ride down the River.
Per our plan, we arrived at Saint James Marina about 1600 followed by John and Tony aboard
Obscurity, who berthed next to us. We all retired to the Grille and Pub to get warm up and eventually stayed ...
To Thanksgiving and Beyond
The day started with Kaitlyn caramelizing onions for the onion dip we planned to bring for Thanksgiving and me blogging while Gordon and Hannah enjoyed each others company. The drive from Raleigh to Wilmington only took about two and a half hours and we arrived around 7:00 just in time for some homemade chicken stir fry. Ann, Ed, Joe and Grandma made us feel right at home. The delicious dinner slowly transitioned in to drinks around ...

The economy calls for collaborative action, not despair.
When the going gets tough, prophets of gloom and doom are available in plenty. It might be prudent to ignore them for a change. Instead of deriving a sense of vicarious pleasure from endlessly analysing how bad things are in the economy and markets, and then finding a convenient door to lay the blame on, the various stakeholders in the economy should put their heads together and take some action.
To begin with, it is important to understand a few facts. The fundamentals of the economy are not half as bad as the vicious fall in the financial markets would suggest. Take GDP growth for instance. We have had a fantastic monsoon, so god is with us. This is all set to yield a good harvest, and a spurt in consumption spending typically comes in its wake. Merchandise exports seem to be picking up as the US economy, and finally Europe, show signs of slow recovery. Services like IT are also likely to do better, given the recovery in the West and a cheaper currency. Projects in key infrastructure areas like power are gaining traction, thanks to the government's efforts to expedite matters. Put all this together and a growth rate in the ball-park of 5.5 per cent seems eminently possible for 2013-14. This is, incidentally, a growth rate that both developing and emerging markets would give an arm and a leg for.
The irony of today's situation is that the current account deficit (CAD) the one thing that everyone likes to blame for India's woes is set to improve considerably this year. The consensus among economists is that the CAD this fiscal is unlikely to breach 4 per cent (about $75 billion), compared to 4.8 per cent of the GDP ($88 billion) last fiscal. The improvement is likely to be on the back of improving exports, reducing gold and oil imports. Besides there were hefty food imports last year to meet the supply shortages created by a delayed monsoon.

Dehumidifier ineffective
I am running a Frigidaire model LAD704TDL dehumidifier in my basement. It is not adequately dehumidifying the air.
Let me start with a little background info: The basement (28' x 46') consists of three rooms, with a concrete slab and poured concrete walls. The basement is dry (double drain lines along outside perimeter as well as interior drains under the slab, Bituthene waterproofing on the exterior walls and UGL DryLok on the interior walls. The moisture problems come from living in NC and with woods all around the house, so we have very high relative humidity for most of the summer. We are not running any A/C in the house, so the the temperature in the basement gradually rises to about 80 by mid July. We've been here for 3 years.
When we first moved in, we had a mold/mildew problem in the basement. We bought a Frigidaire dehumidifier from Lowes (the predecessor to the model listed above). Both models are rated to remove 70 pints of water per day. The first one worked great. At first we had to empty the bucket 3-4 times a day and it effectively dried the air. It lasted for 2 years until the unit started forming ice on the coils to the extent that we couldn't use it. We got it replaced under warranty.
The dehumidifier we have now has run for a little more than a year. It is located in the smallest of the three rooms (12' x 28') with an open doorway. This unit is set at 60% and runs continuously, rarely lowering the humidity below 70%. It takes almost a week for the bucket to get full. The unit is clean; the filter is checked and cleaned as recommended and is only a little dusty when checked. Consequently, I've had some issues with mildew/mold growing on some particle board shelves and some leather goods in the room.
I would appreciate any information or ideas as to what could be the cause of the problem and/or suggestions to remedy this issue.
I'm sorry I've taken so long in posting a follow-up to my post. By Aug. 21, there was a post on this thread from Chris Polk, Online Outreach Representative, Electrolux Major Appliances, North America that has since been removed. (I've no idea why.) I wanted to public thank Chris because his post was extremely helpful. It basically gave me a checklist of things that could be wrong. Per his checklist, I was able to eliminate all but one factor. He suggested that if the compressor is running and the coils are not getting cold that there could be a refrigerant leak. When I checked the coils to see if they were cold, I found a large chunk of ice in one corner. After turning it off and letting the ice melt, it re-iced and did the same thing. It would take 6 days to fill the bucket with it running continuously and the humidity reading was at 70%. Long story made short.... I contacted Electrolux and they sent me a refund for the unit, since Lowes no longer sells this model. So I got my money back and I appreciate the support and the service, but I really wish instead that the Frigidaire would make a unit that would last. I'm looking into investing in a Sante Fe model. It's a lot more expensive but the reviews are excellent. IF it will last then it will be worth the money.

49ers LB Smith can serve jail time on work crew
San Jose, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was sentenced to 11 days in jail and three years' probation on weapons and DUI charges but can serve his jail term on a work crew.
Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Daniel Nishigaya also ordered Smith to pay $2,000 in fines, according to the San Jose Mercury News.
Nishigaya on Friday reduced three felony counts of possessing illegal assault rifles against Smith to misdemeanors.
Under the terms of his probation, Smith, 24, is barred from drinking alcohol or possessing guns or ammunition for three years. Violating the terms would result in an 11-day jail sentence.
Smith can complete his 11-day stint on a work crew on consecutive Mondays starting July 28, according to the Mercury News.
The talented but troubled linebacker, who has had numerous run-ins with the law, pleaded no contest in May to the weapons and DUI charges. He was facing up to four years and four months in prison.
Smith took a leave of absence from the 49ers last year to seek help for a substance abuse problem. He has been one of the NFL's elite pass rushers since being drafted No. 7 overall by the 49ers in 2011.
In May, the 49ers exercised the fifth-year option on Smith's contract.

Report: Southampton 2-0 Palace
Report: Southampton 2-0 Palace
16:52 28th September 2013
A horrendous start to the second half cost Palace dear as they conceded two goals in two minutes that ultimately won Southampton the game at St Mary's.
Having kept The Saints at bay for the opening 45 minutes, strikes from Dani Osvaldo and Rickie Lambert straight after the restart allowed the home side to comfortably collect all three points and ensure the Eagles' wait to collect a Premier League point on the road continues.
The hosts began brightly and nearly opened the scoring early doors but, just like at Wembley, Palace had Joel Ward to thank for a goal-line clearance. A downfield punt was flicked on by Lambert and Morgan Schneiderlin nodded the ball over Julian Speroni, but Ward raced back to acrobatically head the ball from danger and rescue his side.
After that scare, Ian Holloway's boys began to show some adventure going forward as the half progressed and Barry Bannan saw a shot blocked after a swift attack involving Jimmy Kebe and Marounane Chamakh, but The Saints continued to create better opportunities and Lambert fired over the bar after Scheniderlin wriggled around in the area and fed the England hitman.
A couple of minutes later and Lambert forced Speroni to produce a volleyball-esque save from a dipping free-kick but then the Eagles had a penalty appeal rejected when Chamakh rounded Artur Boruc and went down after making contact with the keeper's outstretched arms, but was booked for simulation.
The home fans were appealing themselves on 40 minutes when an Adam Lallana corner flicked off Danny Gabbidon's arm as the defender attempted to clear the ball but was rightly waved away by the referee as the first-half finished goalless.
But that changed just two minutes after the restart as Southampton took the lead. Mile Jedinak was disposed 25 yards from goal and Lallana gave it to Osvaldo, who twisted and turned to find the half a yard he needed the thump the ball goalwards and beat his compatriot Speroni.
And two minutes later it was 2-0. Kagisho Dikgacoi brought down the Argentinean goalscorer and Lambert stepped up to bend a majestic free-kick over the bar and watched it clip the inside of the post before nestling in the net.
St Mary's was rocking and so were the Eagles, and Lambert had another attempt bobble just wide of the far post before Steven Davis blasted into the fans when he should have been celebrating as a catastrophic first 10 minutes of the second half elapsed.
With a healthy lead in the bag, Southampton took their foot off the gas a little and Holloway threw on every available piece of firepower at his disposal in an attempt to get back into the game but they could only muster a wild drive over the top by Dean Moxey on 77 minutes.
The home fans were on their feet again five minutes from time when Jay Rodriguez bundled the ball in but the flag was already up for offside, and the visitors' afternoon was summed up in injury-time when Moxey cut the ball back for an unmarked Cameron Jerome but it took an unfortunate bounce which meant the striker's effort ballooned over the bar.
Southampton: Boruc, Clyne, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw, Wanyama, S. Davis (Ward-Prowse 67), Schneiderlin, Lallana (Ramirez 86), Osvaldo, Lambert (Rodriguez 77). Subs: K. Davis, Chambers, Hooiveld, Cork.
Palace: Speroni, Ward, Mariappa, Gabbidon, Moxey, Dikgacoi, Jedinak, Bannan (Jerome 57), Kebe (Phillips 72), Gayle (Thomas 57), Chamakh. Subs: Price, Parr, Campana, O'Keefe.

Heaven's Gate(1980)
Harvard graduate James Averill relocates to Wyoming and becomes a federal marshal in the late 19th century. There, he learns of a government-sanctioned plot by cattle barons to murder the area's population of European immigrants and steal their land. The resulting conflict is based on the real-life Johnson County War of 1892, also known as the War on Powder River.
For more about Heaven's Gate and the Heaven's Gate Blu-ray release, see Heaven's Gate Blu-ray Review published by Dr. Svet Atanasov on November 3, 2012 where this Blu-ray release scored 5.0 out of 5.

Heaven's Gate Blu-ray Review
Reviewed by Dr. Svet Atanasov, November 3, 2012
Nominated for the prestigious Palme d'Or Award at the Cannes Film Festival, Michael Cimino's "Heaven's Gate" (1980) arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Criterion. The supplemental features on this release include original promo materials; new audio discussion with director Michael Cimino and producer Joann Carelli; video interview with Kris Kristofferson; video interview with actor and musician David Mansfield; video interview with second assistant director Michael Stevenson; and a restoration demonstration. The release also arrives with an illustrated booklet featuring an essay by critic and programmer Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan. In English, with optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature. Region-A "locked".
The film opens up with a spectacular graduation ceremony. The year is 1870, the place is Harvard, and the characters followed closely by the camera are young idealists. One of them, Billy Irvine (John Hurt, The Osterman Weekend, Scandal), everyone's favorite orator, delivers a memorable speech. He praises knowledge and wisdom and then eloquently questions the morality of those who have educated him. James Averill (Kris Kristofferson, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, Convoy), one of Billy's closest friends, looks enormously pleased.
Twenty years later. James, now a man of the law, arrives in Casper, Wyoming. The place is full of European immigrants who have come in search of the American Dream. Most of them look different and barely speak more than a few words of English. They stay in small groups and only occasionally mingle with other immigrants. A few have managed to purchase land outside of the city, but many are poor and waiting to get work, save, and then purchase a piece of land.
The wealthy cattle barons are not pleased with the immigrants that have flooded Casper. Some see in them future competitors, others simply don't like foreigners. To get things back to normal, the barons have organized themselves and decided to effectively clean up Casper. Their leader, Frank Canton (Sam Waterston, The Great Gatsby, The Killing Fields), and a few of his associates have put together a Death List with the names of 125 immigrants, the overwhelming majority of them men, and hired a gang of mercenaries to kill them. The only member of the Association that does not like what is underway is Billy, but he is rarely sober and no one pays attention to what he has to say.
In Casper's busiest corner, James meets John Bridges (Jeff Bridges, 8 Million Ways to Die, Blown Away), an old friend who has turned his bar into a gambling saloon. His best customers are immigrants trying to get rich quick who often lose their last savings there, either to him or local scammers. When James reveals to John that he is soon going to lose the majority of his customers, he decides to help him stop the barons.
Soon after, James also meets Nathan Champion (Christopher Walken, King of New York, The Deer Hunter), a fearless immigrant and assassin who has started working for the barons. With the money he is getting paid, Nathan hopes to soon have enough to marry Ella Watson (Isabelle Huppert, La Cérémonie, Going Places), a French beauty running a tiny brothel just outside of Casper and James' on-again, off-again lover.
Inspired by a true story and one of Hollywood's most ambitious epics, Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate is a film of startling poetic beauty. There are numerous sequences in it that could easily be compared to some of the greatest sequences from David Lean's Doctor Zhivago. The emphasis on detail also astonishes - from the costumes to the weapons to the dances and even the unique Slavic expressions the immigrants often utter, everything in the film looks and sounds incredibly authentic.
Those who have spoken against Heaven's Gate or outright dismissed it as a grandiose failure must have their heads checked. Or admit that they are idiots. Because Heaven's Gate is easily one of the most straightforward films about the dark side of the American Dream, the one that pro-American films, and especially westerns, rarely, if ever, mention. This isn't to imply that Heaven's Gate is a political film, rather to say that it is an honest film that condemns greed and violence, which unfortunately some Americans still worship.
Most of the events in the film are seen through the eyes of Kristofferson's character, but Cimino never allows the viewer to get too comfortable with him. There are endless other characters that enter the story and then disappear without a trace. This makes the film look rather chaotic at times - but only if one ignores the big picture, which is about the sea of immigrants that are never identified until their names appear on the Death List or the mercenaries begin killing them. Until then they are simply "The Mob", nameless men and women who have come to Heaven and suddenly discovered that its self-appointed guardians do not want them there.
It is difficult to watch the newly restored director's cut of Heaven's Gate and not think about the various events that have rocked America in recent years. The rise of civil disobedience targeting and involving immigrants, the abuse of power by the wealthy, and the desire to justify extremism with patriotism are some of the many serious issues modern America faces. Isn't it sad to see that they are some of the same issues America struggled with more than a century ago?
Heaven's Gate Blu-ray, Video Quality
Presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.39:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Criterion.
The following text appears inside the booklet provided with this Blu-ray release:
"Because the original negative of the film was cut down to 149 minutes during its theatrical release in 1981, it could not serve as the basis for this restoration of director Michael Cimino's preferred 216-minute version. Fortunately, the long version had been preserved in the 35mm YCM color separation masters (protection elements capable of precisely reproducing the color in the negative film). Supervised by Cimino, this new digital transfer was created at Colorworks in Culver City, California, by scanning each separation element at 2K resolution on a Scanity, then digitally recombining them to reproduce the color of the original negative. In addition, slight trims and alterations were made to certain scenes and the intermission was removed, allowing the filmmaker to finally have his vision presented as he originally intended. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, scratches, splices, warps, jitter, and flicker were manually removed using MTI's DRS and Pixel Farm's PFClean, while Image Systems' Phoenix was used for small dirt, grain, and noise reduction.
Transfer supervisors: Michael Cimino, Maria Palazzola.
Colorist: Sheri Eisenberg."
The new, restored and supervised by director Michael Cimino high-definition transfer is a thing of beauty. Anyone who has previously seen Heaven's Gate only via the R1 DVD release, which MGM produced back in 2000, is essentially going to experience an entirely different film now with the Blu-ray release. Not only are detail and clarity dramatically improved, but the film's color-scheme is very different. There are major adjustments and corrections practically everywhere. In fact, the original negative of Michael Cimino's preferred version of the film, which was severely cut for the film's 1981 release, was apparently very seriously damaged and thus could not be used for the new 2K restoration. However, the colors in the original negative were restored under the direct supervision of the director and then used to regrade the new master. Needless to say, many of the panoramic sequences which the great Vilmos Zsigmond lensed now look simply stunning. The film's unique dreamy look is now also far more consistent. The darker sequences, in particular, convey a type of depth that has always been missing from the various poor DVD releases the film has had in different regions. There are no traces of excessive sharpening or degraining. There are no serious compression issues to report in this review either. All in all, considering the condition of the elements Criterion had to work with, this new restoration and reconstruction of Heaven's Gate is indeed a tremendous accomplishment. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content).
Heaven's Gate Blu-ray, Audio Quality
There is only one audio track on this Blu-ray disc: English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. For the record, Criterion have provided optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature. When turned on, they appear inside the image frame.
The following text appears inside the booklet provided with this Blu-ray release:
"The new 5.1 surround soundtrack was remastered and restored at 24-bit from a 6-track magnetic mix, under the direct supervision of Cimino, with an emphasis on improving the audibility of dialog. Clicks, thumps, hiss, and him were manually removed using Pro Tools HD. Crackle was attenuated using AudioCube's integrated station."
The new lossless track, which was also supervised by Michael Cimino, also impresses. There is an excellent range of nuanced dynamics that open up the film very well. The music as well as the shootouts all get a tremendous boost. The massive battle at the end of the film, in particular, should raise some eyebrows -- not because the dynamic movement is likely to test one's audio equipment, rather because from the gunshots to the sound of falling horses to the burning wood, everything sounds incredibly real. The dialog is crisp, clean, stable, and easy to follow. Most viewers, however, will likely want to use the English subtitles as various characters speak with thick Slavic accents.
Heaven's Gate Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Note: All of the supplemental features are placed on Disc 2.
Heaven's Gate Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
In one of the supplemental features included on this Blu-ray release, Michael Cimino states that Criterion's new restoration and reconstruction of Heaven's Gate is a miracle. I wholeheartedly agree. This is indeed a spectacular presentation of the definitive director's cut of Heaven's Gate, a glorious film and a true masterpiece of American Cinema which has been misunderstood and undeservedly dismissed by different people during the years. If you are going to experience Heaven's Gate for the first time, I urge you to ignore reading old reviews of the film. See it, think about it and form your own opinion. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

But now, suppose the text changes dynamically, how can I adjust the positions and width and height,is a problem which I am not able to figure out, by using the below code,it adjusts the height and width of a particular label,if the text increases
NSString * test=@" It may come as a rude shock, but Facebook users should not feel surprised if tomorrow they come across their photos existing in the web world despite having deleted them personally long ago.";
m_testLabel.text = test;
m_testLabel.numberOfLines = 0; //will wrap text in new line
[m_testLabel sizeToFit];
but then, my next label will clash with it..is their any way so that all the labels get adjusted according if the width of any label increases or decreases?
Hope you all have understood my question..

Problem with phone line
We live out in the country and have 2 phone lines. Unfortunately, every time it rains or the snow melts, we have either a bad connection or the one phone line is dead. We usually have to wait until someone comes to fix the big box down the road. We also lose connection to line 1, when he's working on the box, even when we didn't have a problem. I'm getting pretty tired of AT&T's unreliability, plus it takes an hour to reach anyone by phone.
Its usually the phone company's problem, because I check the interface box outside, and it doesn't work there either.
But lately, there's been a new problem, and I would prefer to figure it out without paying bunches of money to AT&T to fix it, if its a problem inside the house. Its strange though.
I will go to make a call, and the phones are completely dead, although they work in the interface box, so that would indicate a problem inside.
But I've figured out if I call my home phone with my cell phone, it makes it work again! Why would that make it work again? Does that tell me anything about what the problem might be?
Hi pjb999,
I don't have call waiting. I have an answering machine on a portable phone, plus several portable phones and several land lines. At first I thought it was one of the land lines, because there was one time when the others worked, but this one was dead. But as soon as I called from my cell phone, the bad phone worked again.
But most of the time, its all the phones.
What's a line level?
Hi regus, That's what I was deducing too......although I didn't really understand the "how" of it. It just felt that calling the phone with my cell phone somehow cleared the line.
I just don't want to spend a fortune having AT&T telling me it was something simple. I don't have the line-backer insurance thing, so they like to stick it to the people who don't! lol.
How many pieces of equipment, or telephones, do you have on each line? There used to be a limit as to how many you could put on a telephone line before problems would start showing up. With you being on a rural line, this could be a problem.
it sounds like it's going to be a process of elimination, one telephone at a time, until you find out which one is causing the problem.
Here is a link that might be useful: Telephone Trouble and Troubleshooting
Hi Jim,
Thanks for that link. It looks very helpful.
On our second line is only the computer, and it never seems to have problems.
On the first line, we have 5 phones.....oops, I forgot the line out in the barn.....so 6 phones. I'll try disconnecting the ones we hardly ever use and go from there.
Our interface box looks a mess on the inside. It wouldn't surprise me if the problem is there. But I'll try to figure things out inside the house first.
We live about 1/4 mile off the road, so there's all that cable in the ground, so there's probably alot of places that things could go wrong. Plus, the big junction box down the road is always having problems with mice, wasps, rain,etc.
Thanks for your help.
Your problem is most likely in the interface box. Although it would be the phone providers responsibility, you can fix it easily if you care to. You have every indication of a common bad (high resistance) connection. You'll have to access the phone companies side of the box. If you look to where the wires are connected, you'll probably see green fluff on one or bothe connections. Chances are, the copper wire has been eaten through and has or is coming loose. Carefully remove each wire, one at a time so you don't lose track of where they are connected. Also be careful of the terminal stud if it is badly corroded. If it is in bad shape, loosen it just enough to unwrap the wire and remove it. Clean the terminal, strip back some insulation and reconnect the wire. You'll find a very clean noise free connection...unless the same problem exists at the "big box down the road".
Thanks irisman,
I will check that out and probably be back with more questions! I think if I find the phone company's stuff in bad condition, I might just call them, as we're not very good fix-it people here, and I wouldn't want to end up messing things up worse.
Thanks for your help, and I'll let you know what I find.
Even the customer's side of the interface box is a mess. Plus, when I insert my own phone line to check it out, its hard to get it in there straight, so it wouldn't surprise me if the interface box is the problem.

The Vishwa Kannada Teru (chariot) from Udupi district, which will participate in the Vishwa Kannada Sammelan, was flagged off here on Wednesday.
The chariot is intended to create awareness among people about the Vishwa Kannada Sammelan to be held in Belgaum from March 11 to 13.
Udupi Zilla Panchayat president Katapady Shankar Poojary, who flagged off the chariot, said Vishwa Kannada Sammelan was an event which people were eagerly awaiting for. The chariot, which was organised by the district administration and the Department of Kannada and Culture, began from the Deputy Commissioner's office. It passed through the main streets of Udupi such as Brahmagiri Road, Taluk Office Road and Diana Circle. A band and students from schools and colleges and NSS volunteers from Madhav Pai Memorial College, Mahatma Gandhi Memorial College, and the Government First Grade College went along with the chariot.

Low-volt mini can to pendant conversion ???
Is there a conversion trim that would take a low voltage, 4" can and convert it to use a pendant fixture?
If not, any ideas on how to "rig" one up?
Anything you would do in this area would not be endorsed by UL. Why not just purchase a pendant fixture designed for this application? A single 4" low-voltage can can't be worth more than a dollar or two.
The problem is... I have 4 Elco - 4" lo-vo cans already installed in a vaulted ceiling. I'd like to use pendants, and I can't figure out how or where to get a pendant that would mate up? If you can point me in the right direction, I would be most appreciative.
I've never seen one of those kludge conversions that was designed for anything other than regular 120V incandescent bulbs.
If the transformer is integral with the fixture, you should be able to remove the fixture, put in a regular box, and hang a pendant. If the transformer is located remotely from the fixture, you're probably out of luck short of fishing new wires.
I suggest calling an electrian.
The mechanical problem shouldn't be an issue. Even old work boxes will be able to carry the weight of most pendants. There are some old work boxes with internal screws that will be even better.
TOMBS it's "thecanconverter.com" and it will be of no practical use to this poster.
You don't. You remove the mini can. Since the junction point to the 120V connection needs to be accessible, there has to be a way to get to it without removing the finished surface. This is usually accomplished by removing the trim piece and pulling the fixture down through the exiting hole allowing you to reach up and get to the junction box. Depending on the design of the fixture the thing may just be friction fit up in there, or there may be clips or screws that you have to undo to get it to release.
Any electrician worth a plug nickel will be able to do what I suggested.
I don't think I can remove the can w/o damaging the sheetrock, but maybe it's posible. However, If I used a low voltage pendant, why would I need access to the 110v wiring?
The LAW requires the 120V connection to be accessible. A listed fixture will allow this. If you can't figure out how to do it, get an electrician. All the pendants I've seen have their own integral transformer (usually housed in the bell that mounts to the box on the ceiling). You need to feed it with 120V.
There's no legitimate way of hacking in a low voltage pendent to an existing low voltage can.

Like everyone else I'm a long time user of ChapStick but this one is totally different. The consistency is different from other ChapSticks and the feeling on your lips is very different -- and very perfect. I am holding onto mine as long as I can and have been saving it for when I really need extra hydration. It really is like a treat to my lips when I use it! I use it before bed over other ChapSticks and it lasts all night and doesn't leave a gross film on my lips the next morning like the other kinds.5
I'm obviously in the minority by looking at other reviews, but I couldn't get past the texture of this product. It was so slick, almost like having a thinner version of Vaseline on my lips. I also always felt like it didn't stay in place thus looking like I had it around my lips not on them.3

Some days ago, I buy a Refurbished Xperia Acro S (LT26w) in a chinesse page. The phone is almost new and working, in fact, I use a few hours in calls and mobile data. The rom included (4.1.2) was a little rare, with full asian apps, and not google account for add. So, I flash the phone with flashtool and stock roms from this page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2076625) , then begin my nightmare, The baseband from the phone is missing and just say unknown, the same for the IMEI, unknown. I test all the stock roms (nordic, honk-kong), and diferents versions (ICS, JB) and always the same result.
Any idea? My phone is dead?

The future is now for two mobile sellers.
I'm a science fiction nut. Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who: You name it, I probably like it. As such, I grew up dreaming of a future that included all sorts of really cool technology. One technology I looked forward to was video calls on mobile devices. And when Apple Inc. came out with FaceTime, I was in heaven.
This week, two companies debuted apps that create two-way video links between consumers and agents that are really cool. And as you'll find out in my August Internet Retailer magazine story on smartphone apps, cool counts.
Valspar Paint worked with marketing services firm CatapultRPM to bring interior designers into consumers' homes via iPhones and iPads. A consumer sets up an appointment with a Valspar color consultant and at the appointed time the consultant initiates a video link with the consumer. The consumer then uses her iPhone 4S or iPad to scan around a room to give the consultant an idea of what things look like. The consultant displays colors she feels work best. At the end of the free 30-minute session, the consumer can order paint straight from the consultant.
On another front, StubNut.com worked with mobile technology provider Radish Systems to build into its app an audio/visual customer service feature that enables a two-way connection where ticket agents can show buyers views from selected seats, venue maps and more. It's not live video, but it is live audio plus visuals. And most important, it's cool. And I guess I should add that it's highly practical and likely can help drive conversion and upsells.
Live video customer service is something a lot of retailers should be thinking about. It can greatly help a mobile app stand out in the crowd, and it can aid in increasing sales. Cool is the rule in mobile apps. So give live video or audio/visual a thought. Video calls will become mainstream sooner rather than later, and I believe people will come to expect live video customer service one day. Do it now and be a mobile commerce leader.

How IT Solutions Providers Can Strategically Plan A Benefits Package
All IT companies are facing a shortage of qualified workers, and this is especially true for SMB owners. It seems as though the "big boys" have the competitive edge when it comes to compensation packages, perks, and benefits. In addition, the changes brought about via the Affordable Care Act have frustrated many employers, forcing them to reevaluate their benefit packages by dropping some benefits, adding additional benefits, or modifying the plans themselves.

It was here that I would witness hundreds of kids get in a canoe, many of them for the first time.

Data collection & mobility covers barcoding, barcode scanners, RFID tags and scanners, mobile printers and printing, mobile computing, automatic identification and data capture (AIDC), and field service technology.
Barcodes are machine-readable representations of data about the object they are applied to. There are two types of barcodes, 1D and 2D. 1D barcodes represent data with parallel lines of varying widths and spacing and are also known as linear barcodes. 2D barcodes use rectangles, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns in two dimensions. Barcodes are traditionally read with optical scanners called barcode readers, but now desktop printers, mobile computers, and smartphones can also act as scanners.
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a wireless non-contact method of transferring data for automatic identification and object tracking. RFID tags contain stored electronic information. RFID tags can be powered or passive as required by varying operations. RFID tags differ from barcodes in that they do not require direct line of sight to the reader, allowing them to be inserted in objects.
Mobile printers offer portable printing options and are designed to boost employee productivity and accuracy. Mobile printers can be wired or wireless and are battery powered. They are designed to print barcodes, labels, receipts, and tickets and are often ruggedized in order to operate in harsh and demanding environments.
Mobile computing covers the broad range of business and consumer devices that are designed to be transported during normal usage. Mobile computing encompasses mobile communications, mobile hardware, and mobile software. Mobile computing devices include personal digital assistants (PDAs), smartphones, tablet computers, ultra-mobile CPs, in-vehicle computers, and wearable computers. Enterprise-class devices are often ruggedized to prevent damage from constant use and accidental drops and water contact. Devices operate on a range of operating systems including Windows, Android, iOS, Linux, and more.

Russian Impressionism: On the Edge of Soviet Art
Main and Mezzanine Galleries
This exhibit of 54 fine art paintings traces the historical evolution and influence of impressionist painting from its roots in 19th century France to its successful transplantation in pre-Revolutionary Russia. Although impressionism was routinely suppressed by the Communist Party as a foreign-inspired and socially decadent art form for over six decades, Russian artists never abandoned their affection for and use of impressionist brush techniques and color pallet. Impressionism survived behind closed doors and re-emerged as a dynamic and beloved art form that is uniquely Russian.
