Historical Traveler Reviews Rose Garden Palace Rome
When in rome-stay here!
we stayed at this hotel last june 2004 at the end of a 2 week drive through italy, where we stayed in a true variety of hotels. this hotel was superb! the staff accommodated us moving from another hotel at 10 pm(we were supposed to check in the next day). and continued to give us good humoured and helpful service during our stay. we are seasoned travelers and rarely can i say that a hotel was a good value! it is well worth the price-un pretentious modern decor with a classic atmosphere. the location was great-just off the via veneto-an easy walk to the spanish steps and on to the heart of rome.the extravagant (champagne and special baked goods and cheese, meats, eggs, cereal, etc.)breakfast buffet was one of the best i've ever encountered(and a good buffet is a great way to start a tourist day!). the room size was modest but very comfortable. every aspect of our stay there was extremely satisfying, something that i don't always find, even at more expensive hotels.
Beautiful chic modern hotel near Via Veneto
We stayed at the Rose Garden Palace for 3 nights during our honeymoon last June.
The location of the Hotel is superb in a secure area and very close to interesting sites and restaurants.
The staff knew we were on our honeymoon and upon arrival we got upgraded to a beautiful suite. It had a walking wardrobe, amazing bathroom with bathrobes and gorgeous toiletries. We also had a bottle of spumante awaiting for us!
The breakfast was excellent and the staff very friendly. We really liked the outside seating area by the rose garden.
A fab hotel in a good location, quite pricey but worth it in my opinion. I would love to stay there again.
Absolutely loved the place..
My wife and I went on our honeymoon to Roma, Italy and stayed at the Rose Garden Palace. We absolutely loved the location, just off Via Veneto and it is just a couple of minutes away from the termini. It was fun exploring Roma, esp. since we felt so secure returning back late at night as it was pretty safe. It is a little pricey but the breakfast is really good too, and the manegar, Mr. Bruno Cali was extremely helpful and cooperative. We loved the room and everything was so comfortable. We would love to go back in the Summer, since we were there in Jan when it was pretty cold! Thanks Mr. Cali for making our honeymoon so special.
Cheers, Carlton:)
Superb Hotel In Great Location
The Rose Garden Palace is a superb hotel dead centre of Rome. Main Termini rail station is only 15 minutes walk. 100m from Via Veneto. Rooms spacious, well appointed, spotlessly clean. Staff friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone
Beautiful hotel
The Rose Garden Palace is a beautiful hotel about 200 metres off the via Veneto opposite the American Embassy. As our first stop in Europe we appreciated the very comfortable, quiet and spacious rooms and the designer public areas. The breakfast was excellent and the service responsive yet not as personal as we experienced in Venice, but that was outstanding so we may be a little harsh. (see Locanda Orseolo if you visiting Venice) Location requires a little extra walking but nothing to worry about and worth it for a hotel of this standard at the price.
Das Rose Garden Palace ist zum Verlieben
Was f�r eine Entdeckung! Das ist ein wunderbares Hotel nur 2 Querstra�en von der Via Veneto. Mein Zimmer war fantastisch (wunderh�bsch, ger�umig, sauber). Die H�flichkeit der Angestellten (besonders Luca) und auch das Essen waren hervorragend. Elsie Wilkens
Loved the Rose Garden Palace
What a gem! This is a wonderful hotel: 2 blocks from the Via Veneto. I loved my room (gorgeous,spacious,clean), the kindness of the personnel(especially Luca) and the food was wonderful. Elsie Wilkens
Good but not great
We stayed at the Rose Garden Palace hotel for two nights Oct 9-10. The hotel is very well located and is right near Via Veneto and the Spanish steps. THe hotel looked new and very modern. The staff was very helpful. The room though was another story. The carpet was stained and dirty and there were scuff marks all along the walls. The smell was a very moldy one and not very pleasant. TV stations are non-existent. I am not sure if this is a hotel issue or a Rome one but nevertheless there was no choice. The PPV did not work.
I would lightly recommend the hotel and probably would not stay here again.
We loved it!
Beautiful hotel with very helpful people. Clean, well organized. The hotel is brand new. The room was spatious, the bed confy, the bathroom beautiful. They give you a great breakfast; there is a pool and exercise equipment. The location of the hotel is perfect! Just a block away from Via Veneto and few minutes walking distance from Piazza di Spagna (best shopping in Rome). A taxi trip from the hotel to the Vatican was 10 Euros each way, includding tip. We highly recommend this wonderful hotel.
Wonderful Hotel
This hotel is first rate. Beautiful rooms - very spacious and spotlessly clean. Ideal location and wonderful staff.

Panasonic may be best known for its superb plasma TVs, but it's also knocked out plenty of impressive LCD sets too. The 32-inch, 1080p Panasonic Viera TX-L32S20B LCD TV has arrived with a Freeview HD tuner just in the time for the World Cup. But, at £650, it's expensive compared to many 32-inch models from other manufacturers. Does its performance justify its price?
No ocular feast
The TX-L32S20B sits near the middle of Panasonic's current LCD line-up. As with many of the company's mid-range models, its design isn't exactly eye-catching. Panasonic has added a slightly textured finish to the bezel, but it looks rather plasticky. The design is made less dull by a pleasant-looking bluish flash across the bottom of the frame.
The TX-L32S20B has a pretty standard array of ports for a 32-inch model. There are two HDMI sockets on the rear, plus an additional one on the side, letting you easily hook up camcorders and other portable devices.
The rear is also home to a component input, as well as two Scart sockets, a VGA connection and a composite video port. There's a USB socket too, but this can only be used to view photos or play a limited range of video file formats from digital cameras. It can't be used to play DivX or MKV files from a portable hard drive, for example. Sadly, although the set has an Ethernet port, unlike higher-end Panasonic models, there's no support for the Viera Cast Internet service or media streaming across a network.
With the World Cup right around the corner, the Freeview HD tuner is a welcome feature -- so far, it allows you to pick up BBC HD, ITV1 HD and 4HD. The set-up process is no different than with a standard Freeview model, as the TV automatically finds the HD channels during its standard channel scan.
Like most Panasonic TVs, the TX-L32S20B uses the Guide Plus+ electronic programme guide, rather than the standard Freeview one. It doesn't look massively different to the normal Freeview EPG, but it does display Web-style adverts in a box on the left-hand side of the screen, which is annoying. Nevertheless, the EPG is easy to navigate via the excellent remote control -- even if the colour scheme and graphics look dull.

Can anyone please identify this plant?
I have always assumed this to be a Virginia Creeper but , since it has started to give trouble , I have started to research it and apparently Virginia Creeper leaves are separated into 5 separate leaves (a bit like the 5 fingers on the hand) whereas this plant's leaf could be described as a hand having 3 "joined like a duck's" fingers.
Apart from that it seems very similar to a Virginia Creeper although I would say it is a little redder than the "true" Virginia Creepers that I have seen.
I cannot find any pictures on the internet that are identical to the one I have posted (I can post others if necessary)
The image isn't real clear, but it looks like grape Ivy. Do a google.com search for 'grape Ivy' and see if that's what you have. In any case, you probably will want to remove it from the wall - it will start eroding the wall, given a bit of time.
Parthenocissus tricuspidata
most commonly known as "Boston Ivy"
The species is in the same genus as
'Virginia Creeper" but is a slightly different species
Parthenocissus quinquefolia
Hope that helps,
To follow up from Ron, virtually the exact same plant......with the difference being only the foliage shape. 'Tricuspidata' essentially translates to "three pointed", meaning the shape/form of the leaves, while 'quinquefolia' means "five leaved".
FWIW, neither of these vines/creepers erode walls. They can dislodge deteriorating mortar between bricks or stone but good condition, solid mortar is perfectly safe as are other wall surfaces like wood, stucco, aluminum siding, etc. Boston ivy (P. tricuspidata) is the vining creeper that covers the walls of all the 'Ivy League' colleges and countless other universities across the country. In most cases, the vine has been there for many, many years. And the buildings haven't fallen down yet :-)
thanks all.Yes I had thought it could be Boston Ivy and had even done an image search on Google for it.
Clearly I didn't look closely enough since I can now see that it is indeed Boston Ivy.
As I now have to replace this plant is it safe to do so or could the ground be infected ?(the plant weakened and died over the course of 2 or 3 years and I remember learning that with a cherry tree ,to take an example ,it was normally unsafe to replant in the same place)
With very few exceptions, replanting in the same location for any plant is not an issue. Some soil pathogens are very persistant and can remain active in the soil for many years.......if your plant was susceptible to and contracted and died as the result of one of these soil pathogens, then it is not a good idea to replant with the same species.
To the best of my knowledege, parthenocissus is NOT prone to any of these common soil diseases so I would think replanting with the same vine a non-issue :-)
A note of interest about Boston ivy and how its growth is perceived from a practical standpoint comes from Yale University, which has finally been able to remove all of its ivy growth from the venerable buildings. It does do considerable damage and that damage is hidden from view by the lush foliage until the repairs required are extremely expensive. Other historical edifices will certainly follow suit.
The bitter squawking from alumni and others soon disappears, lol.

Easy to make, but nothing special. Much better when the swirled chocolate chips were still warm; after they cooled off, the topping looked remarkably unappetizing.
Very quick and tasty cake! I cut back on the sugar a little and used mini chocolate chips on top. Just what I was looking for!
this certainly was an easy recipe.. mix in pan/bake in pan.. a quick one when ya need a quick dessert! The choc chip topping was easy and tasty... I liked the cake the second day better/ good with Ice Cream lemon flavor.. yummmm!

Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a food product based on, or containing, potatoes that is prepared by deep frying, frying or baking with the addition of fat and/or fat substitutes.
The invention also relates to a method of producing such food products, and to the use of these methods for producing potato chips, snacks, French fries, potato croquettes, potato pancakes, and similar products.
The expression food product based on or containing potatoes in the instant context refers to a product for the production of which potatoes in their original form as well as in processed form, such as powderized potatoes or potato starch, have been used.
Frequently, potatoes are processed to different food products, which are made ready for consumption by deep frying, baking or frying in hot fat and/or fat substitutes. The products known best and maybe most widely used are potato chips and French fries, which have typical sizes and shapes. Moreover, products of other sizes and shapes are known, such as strips, cubes, grated pieces etc. Usually, these products are produced by cutting pealed potatoes and reducing them to fragments. These potato pieces may be preserved by pre-treating them by various known method steps, such as blanching, microwave heating, pre-deep-frying, pre-baking etc., and may be stored appropriately packed until further processing. It is also possible to deep-fry these potato pieces, with or without pre-treatment, in hot fat and/or fat substitutes at temperatures of from 160° C. to 200° C., for different periods of time, such as between 2 and 10 minutes, as required.
Depending on the variety and growing conditions, the moisture of the raw potatoes will range between 75% and 85%. If potato pieces containing this amount of water are deep-fried in hot fat and/or fat substitutes, the water will be made to boil immediately, and the vaporized water will emerge explosively from the deep-fried potato pieces. This will lead to the formation of many small holes and apertures in the products. As a consequence of the bath consisting of fat and/or fat substitutes, a considerable amount of fat and/or fat substitutes will remain adhered to the surface of the products. In addition, when removing the products from the hot bath of fat and/or fat substitutes, a vacuum suction effect will be created in the small cavities on account of cooling, which will lead to a further absorption of fat and/or fat substitutes by the product. Depending on the size and the specific surface, the deep-fried products may contain between 10% and 40% and even more of fat and/or fat substitutes.
The content of fat and/or fat substitutes of such products in most instances is undesired for various reasons. On the one hand, fat is a food component rich in calories, harboring the known health risks when consumed in excessive amounts. It is in the interest of part of the population to highly reduce the supply of calories and fats in their diet. This means that from the point of view of correct nutrition, it is particularly important to keep the fat content of foods or food products as low as possible. On the other hand, the fat substitutes presently known are synthetically prepared materials which have side effects on the gastrointestinal system (Jacobson, M. F.; Brown, M. A.; Whorton, E. B. Jr.; Cheskin, L. J.; Zorich, N.; Miday, R.; Filloon, T.: Gastrointestinal symptoms following olestra consumption. Journal of the American Medical Association, (1998) 280 (4) 325-326) and have a negative effect on the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (Schlagheck, T. G.; Kesler, J. M.; Jones, M. B.; Zorich, N. L.; Dugan, L. D.; Davidson, M. H.; Peters J.C.: Olestra's effect on vitamin D and E in human can be offset by increasing dietatry levels of these vitamins, Journal of Nutrition (1997), 127 (8s, Assessment of the nutritional effects of olestra), 1666S-1685S), and of other fat-soluble nutritive components (Schlagheck, T. G.; Riccardi, K. A.; Zorich, N. L.; Torri, S. A.; Dugan, L. D.; Peters, J. C.: Olestra dose response on fat-soluble and water-soluble nutrients in humans. Journal of Nutrition (1997) 127 (8s, Assessment of the nutritional effects of olestra) 1646S-1665S). An excessive consumption of fat substitutes in normal consumers and a moderate consumption in sensitive consumers may have a laxative effect. For this reason, the reduction of these substances in food products also is highly important.
From an economic point of view, fat and fat substitutes are relatively expensive raw materials, and are, of course, reflected in the price of the subject products. Thus, it is in the interest of the producers and of the consumers not to have to either sell or buy and consume unnecessary fat, or an unnecessary fat substitute, respectively, with the products.
Moreover, a high content of fat and/or of fat substitutes involves a fatty, greasy sensation which is less and less acceptable to consumers. On the other hand, there are also products which are prepared entirely or almost entirely without any fat, yet on account of their poor sensory quality they are not readily accepted by the consumers.
Therefore, there have been intensive efforts for quite some time to reduce the fat content of deep-fried potato products, wherein an optimization of the production technology has always been in the foreground.
For instance, British patent No. 1,133,929 describes a method of producing potato chips in which the cut potato slices are deep-fried at 150° C. (300° F.) to an extent at which a relatively high moisture is still retained in the chips, whereupon they are dried by dry air under sub-atmospheric pressure.
According to the method described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,537,786, the potato chips, after having been deep-fried at between 138° C. and 160° C. (280° F. -320° F.), are dried within 10 seconds after having been removed from the hot oil bath, in a flow of hot air (177° C., 350° F.) for up to 10 min to a residual moisture of 10%.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,277,510 describes a method in which peeled, cut potatoes having a moisture of 70% are dried by means of warm air to a residual moisture of from 30% to 65% and subsequently are deep-fried in hot oil.
According to British patent No. 1,519,049, the conventionally deep-fried potato chips are treated with super-heated steam so as to remove surface fat.
According to U.S. Pat. No. 3,627,535, after the deep-frying of deep-frozen French fries in hot fat, a further treatment with saturated steam is suggested so as to reduce their fat content.
With the methods discussed in these patent specifications, a reduction of the fat content of potato chips and/or French fries by up to 30% is attainable.
All these methods, however, involve supplementary technological measures in addition to the common production of, e.g., potato chips or French fries, necessitating increased investments and an increased material consumption. The sensory quality of the products is not equal to the quality of standard products having the full fat content.
The object of the present invention is to provide a food product and a method of producing the food product which overcomes the above-noted deficiencies and disadvantages of the prior art devices and methods of this general kind, and which produces deep-fried, fried or baked food products of the above-mentioned type, in which a fat and/or fat substitute reduction is obtained without complex additional method steps.
With the above and other objects in view there is provided, in accordance with the invention, a food product containing potatoes, finished by deep-frying, frying or baking with an addition of fat and/or fat substitutes, the food product at least partially containing a potato starch having an amylopectin content of at least 95%, and the potato starch contained in the food product being at least partially derived from potatoes in which amylose formation has been suppressed by breeding, by a molecular biological method or by a genetic engineering method.
According to the present invention, the above-indicated object is achieved by taking a completely different approach to this problem, i.e. by achieving the reduction of the fat and/or fat-substitute absorption of deep-fried, baked or fried potato products by using special potatoes as raw material. The food product according to the invention is characterized in that the potato starch contained therein at least partially consists of a potato starch having a content of at least 95%, preferably at least 98%, of amylopectin.
As defined above, this is achieved in that the potato starch contained in the food product is derived from potatoes in which the formation of amylose has been suppressed by breeding or by molecular-biological or genetical engineering methods.
When deep-fried, baked or fried in fat and/or fat substitutes, such food products are characterized by a content of fat and/or fat substitutes which is reduced by up to 30% as compared to conventional products of this type.
The dry substance of potato tubers mainly consists of polysaccharides which are known as starch and constitute up to 75% of the dry substance of potatoes. In conventional potatoes, the starch essentially consists of two chemically differently structured molecules, called amylose and amylopectin. From the chemical point of view, both substances consist of several thousand linked glucose molecules. Amylose is characterized by a nearly unbranched linear structure of linked glucose units. In amylopectin, numerous shorter molecules of amylose-like structure are bound to a larger, branched structure. Common potato starch contains 78% of amylopectin and 22% of amylose on an average. The application-technological properties of the potatoes are substantially determined by the properties of the starch contained therein.
In recent years, new genotypes have been created by cross-breeding and by targeted interventions in the genome of the potato, these genotypes having a starch composition clearly different from common starch. Thus, transgenic potato genotypes have been created which contain a new potato starch consisting of up to 98% of amylopectin. This new type of starch has different application-technological properties as compared to conventional starch, which is advantageous in some fields of application. However, it was not to be expected that products made of transgenic potatoes whose starch consisted of at least 95% of amylopectin, preferably of 98% of amylopectin, when deep-fried in hot fat and/or fat substitutes, would absorb up to 30% less fat and/or fat substitutes than comparable products produced from conventional potatoes. This result is obtained without having to take additional special and complex technological steps in the production of potato products. For instance, fat-reduced and/or fat-substitute-reduced potato chips can be produced by common production technology. This phenomenon can be explained by the fact that on account of their special starch composition, fewer cavities are formed on the surface of the products during deep-frying of the latter, and thus, as a consequence, less fat and/or fat substitute is absorbed by the products.
The clear advantage of using these novel potatoes in the production of deep-fried potato products is found in the economic field, on the one hand, because less fat and/or fat substitute is consumed during the production process, and in the field of health, on the other hand, because when eating such products, less fat and/or fat substitutes are ingested. A third, not inessential advantage consists in that the sensory quality of the products is enhanced since these products look, taste and feel less greasy.
It is pointed out that the new potato-containing foodstuffs need not exclusively be produced by using the novel potato, but that also a mixture of conventional potato starting materials will lead to a respective reduction of fat and/or fat substitutes.
The reduction of the content of fat and/or fat substitutes of potato-containing foodstuffs by using the above-mentioned genetically modified potato in the most varying forms or by admixing this potato to conventional potatoes may, advantageously, apply to the following product groups which are all made ready for consumption by deep-frying, baking or frying in fat and/or fat substitutes:
potato chips and similar snack articles of various sizes and shapes, entirely or partially made of potatoes and/or the dehydrated forms thereof,
French fries and similar products of various sizes and shapes, entirely or partially made of potatoes and/or the dehydrated forms thereof,
potato croquettes and similar products of various sizes and shapes, entirely or partially made of boiled, mashed potatoes and/or the dehydrated forms thereof,
potato pancakes and similar products of various sizes and shapes, entirely or partially made of potatoes and/or the dehydrated forms thereof,
food products finished by deep-frying, baking or frying, containing dried potato pieces, potato granules, powderized potatoes and/or potato starch as components thereof, and comprising vegetables, cereal products, proteinaceous foodstuffs and the like as the remaining components.
The following example and the results of the physical and sensory tests show the advantageous application of these transgenic potato genotypes for the preparation of fat-reduced potato chips.
The sole FIGURE shows a sensory test diagram.
The FIGURE illustrates a diagram showing the results of a sensory test with an example of the invention in juxtaposition with a conventional product. The test was based on ISO standard 11035.
Test Products:
From the above-discussed transgenic potato genotypes, potato chips were prepared in the laboratory. As the standard, potato tubers of a conventional variety called Desiree were used. As test objects, also potato tubers of the variety Desiree were used, which had been genetically modified such that the starch contained in the tubers consisted of 98% of amylopectin.
The potato tubers were washed, peeled, and cut to slices having a thickness of 1.5 mm by using a vegetable cutter. The potato slices were deep-fried for 2 minutes in a closed deep-fat fryer in hot fat having a temperature of 190° C. After their removal from the fat, the chips were allowed to drain and to cool.
To examine the fat content, the chips samples were reduced to fragments, and the fat was extracted from the samples with petroleum ether in a Soxhlet apparatus and gravimetrically determined. The results of the fat determination are summarized in Table 1.
After having been stored for 24 h, the potato chips were subjected to a sensory analysis, using a panel test employing trained panelists, using ISO standard 11035 "Sensory analysis—Identification and selection of descriptors for establishing a sensory profile by multidimensional approach", by means of a rating scale comprising 10 points, 1 point denoting the most negative rating and 10 points denoting the most positive rating of the subject characteristic. Sensory characteristics, such as appearance, color, smell, tast and crispness were included in the analysis, and on the basis of the results, a so-called sensory profile of the test products was established which can be seen in the diagram of the FIGURE.
As apparent from Table 1, the potato chips from transgenic Desiree had a markedly lower fat content than the chips from conventional Desiree. In the sensory examination, both chips samples received comparable ratings with regard to the characteristics color, smell and crispness, whereas regarding the characteristics taste and appearance, the samples from transgenic Desiree received a markedly higher rating, which clearly could be attributed to the difference in the fat content of the two products.

Whether seeking a style for every day wear or for that extra-special occasion, Stetson has a style for you.Hat Country is a certified Stetson retailer.

Best Season Yet,
This review is from: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Season 7 (DVD)
This was the strongest season to date. It had a season long story arch that involved everyone in the show. This also had the appearance of a new face while Gil was out of town. This added a nice break from the dynamic that we have all gotten used to. It also had one of most entertaining episodes in years (Lab Rats). I can't wait to get my hands on this one.

"I was very impressed by the quality of this announcement. I ordered it with the green border and the ink colour suggested. The finished product was wonderful. As an additional surprise, the order arrived to me three days before I expected it. Great service and good pricing for such a nice product."
"I loved that creating my announcement was quick and easy. This moving announcement is a cute way to share our transition with friends and family. I especially love the colors and lettering font."
"I stayed with the design as shown except I changed the font. The quality of the paper was excellent. Order came in less time then they had predicted. VERY PLEASED to send out these We've Moved cards. I should have ordered more!"
"I am really happy with my purchase! The paper and printing quality turned out perfect. And they arrived way before the estimated delivery date which was a pleasant surprise. The ordering and design was a very simple and easy process to follow. I will be ordering again from tinyprints come Christmas time :)"
"I love these cards. The quality and style are equally excellent. I'm very happy with the design, color scheme, type, etc. Could not be more pleased."

|CLOSURE MECHANISM FOR AN IDENTIFICATION MEDIUM ADAPTED FOR RECEIVING INDICIA FORMING MATERIAL AND DUAL CLOSURE MEANS - A closure mechanism receiving aperture presents a substantially contiguous, uninterrupted planar surface on a flexible medium, primarily for use with identification devices, i.e., wristbands. The aperture does not interrupt the printable area so that printer ink may be printed over the aperture without passing through. The inventive aperture also does not produce waster material or chads which can jam or foul-up a printer. An inventive wristband includes both snap closure and adhesive closure mechanisms that can be used at the same time.

Project Puccini is a world-first initiative by Opera Queensland, which gives hundreds of Queenslanders the opportunity to perform in the chorus of a brand new production of Puccini's La bohème.
36 adults and 12 children from Townsville have now been chosen to form a local chorus to sing in Italian and act alongside OperaQ's principal artists and musicians from Queensland Symphony Orchestra in a professionally staged opera.
OperaQ is delighted with the inital response to Project Puccini, the nearly 800 enthusiastic singers who auditioned across the state and the quality of the singing we heard in Townsville. The successful participants were chosen by the auditioning panel because they demonstrated strong vocal ability, aptitude for language and stage presence during the audition process.
After a 10-week development program, the Townsville Chorus is amidst final preparations before taking to the stage in La bohème at the Townsville Civic Centre on 30 August.
The Townsville Childrens Chorus
OperaQ have employed a local chorus master and rehearsal coordinator, and will work in partnership with Townsville Civic Theatre and Townsville City Council to ensure the highest standard of performance and personal development opportunities for budding local artists.
Chorus Master: Rachel Cairns
Rehearsal Coordinator: Kate Saunders
Project Puccini is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland's Playing Queensland Fund, and is also supported by the Graeme Wood Foundation.
The project aims to equip participants with improved music and drama skills, new social and creative networks, and an increased sense of community and wellbeing.
How to get involved!
Auditions for Project Puccini Townsville have already been held but you can follow the progress of the successful participants here as they get ready to take to the stage for La bohème at the Townsville Civic Centre on 30 August.
We are also looking for budding filmmakers in each region to help document its world-first arts project. Filmmakers will be granted unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the project. To register your interest fill out our Expression of Interest form.
Opera Queensland is seeking the support of local businesses who would like to be involved in this ground-breaking arts project. Find out more here.

The Revolving Data Door
The deficiency of patient-outcome data has been haunting EMS systems for decades and needs to be addressed to enable us to close the loop on the care of prehospital patients.
Power of Prediction: "Of each particular thing, ask: 'What is it in itself, in its own construction?'" -Marcus Aurelius
Do we need to experience patterns to truly understand them before we make reliable predictions for patients based on patterns?
EMS is a serious business, but when the day is done, suprises break the monotony and foster a fun environment.

How to properly fertilize in-ground plantings
Hello ya'll, Im new to the forum and more important new to farming/gardening in Southern California!
I'm looking for advice on how to rig up my drip irrigation systems to inject fertilizer instead of hand sowing granules or using a hose sprayer.
This year I have 6 rows each 100 ft long, currently I'm able to irrigate with drip line, however Im having a tough time fertilizing my crops.
I done alot of research but my solutions range from a $20 venturi-siphon hose attachment to a +$500 high speed fertilizer injector.
I dont want to go cheap, but I dont need to go bankrupt either since I'm farming to save money on perishable foods.
It works better to feed your soil, by adding compost yearly to build the structure of your soil, which will feed your plants. In more than 20 years on this property, I have never used anything on my soil except compost and mulch. My neighbor grows grapes on more than 350 acres, without ever adding any fertilizer. Just because the chemical companies want to sell something to put on our soil, does not mean we need it. Al
Calistoga: I'd prefer to amend the soil with mulch and compost, however currently its not feasible for me to rip up all my crops and add organic matter back into the soil. After this growing season I'll till the crops under and that will provide some organic matter back into the ground. I'm not looking to buy conventional fertilizer either, "Organic" types will work just as well for me.
Nil13: What type of Dosatron do you have? I was looking at the MiniDos 2,5%, but I need to be a bit more educated on what types of application rates I should be looking at for "in-organic" and "organic" fertilizers.
The proportion is a fixed 1:128. I use a 5gal water jug as my reservoir. I'm sure you could go bigger. I have the dosatron mounted about 5 feet off the ground with the 5 gal jug on the ground and it pulls the liquid without problem.
I love it. It works great.

Financial Payments
Credit card fraud costs merchants— and consumers—over $190 billion/yr.
Fraud prevention in our entire payments system – credit and debit cards – is based on a culture of detection, not prevention. As a result, identity theft costs Americans over $37 billion a year, and merchants in the US alone lose approximately $190 billion per year to credit card fraud. And yet this only accounts for the fraud we can identify. Something is clearly wrong with a system that allows theft to happen and expects American consumers to pay the costs of reimbursing merchants and credit card companies through higher prices. What are we doing wrong?
We're using antiquated technologies. Credit and debit cards use magnetic strips – a seventy year-old technology – to hold sensitive financial information such as customer name, card number, and expiration dates. All this info can be easily copied and spoofed innumerable times to create hundreds of fake credit cards, or sold online for as little as $1 for each credit card identity. Financial services companies "prevent fraud" by using back-end analytics to catch the crime after the fact, instead of authenticating the card and the card holder are legitimate prior to making any transaction.
Chip-and-PIN users are protected globally from ID theft and fraud.
But why is it a uniquely American problem? Almost every other country and region in the world authenticates the card and the holder as being real prior to the transaction by using Chip-and-PIN credit and debit cards, based on the internationally recognized EMV standard. This upgrade for the rest of the world has resulted in a big problem for American consumers: international credit and debit card fraud has migrated to the United States due to our lax authentication protocols for payment cards. Here's an example of the differences:
Mag-Stripe Credit Cards
Joe eats at a restaurant in Florida and hands his mag-stripe credit card to the waiter, who disappears into a back room with it to not only run it through the machine, but to copy the numbers down for his own nefarious use later. Joe then makes an online purchase with the same credit card, but the online merchant's site gets hacked and they lose not only Joe's credit card data, but that of hundreds of other people – all to be sold online on the black market. On the way to the police station to file a report, Joe is pickpocketed. The criminal then uses Joe's credit card to purchase a $50 mag-stripe reader to make an additional 200 copies of Joe's credit card to sell to his cohorts. While Federal law protects Joe against loss, it doesn't protect the merchants who've been cheated, who then pass the costs of the fraud back on to consumers.
Chip-and-PIN Credit Cards
Joe eats at a restaurant in Rome and asks to pay the bill. The waiter presents him with a card-reader tableside, into which he inserts his card. The card's onboard chip authenticates that the reader is legitimate, and the reader validates that the card is legitimate. (This step did not happen in Florida). Once it is confirmed that both the reader and the card are legitimate, Joe is required to enter his secret PIN, which authenticates that Joe is who he says he is. A thief that obtained Joe's credit card number couldn't create a fake card because he wouldn't be able to counterfeit the card's authenticating chip; likewise a pickpocket wouldn't be able to use it because he wouldn't have the secret PIN. Online fraud would be deterred by sites that require the card be inserted into a card-reader prior to its use. Joe is safe, the merchants suffer no fraud losses, and the savings are passed on to consumers through lower prices.
The future's looking brighter...we'll just have to wait until 2015.
U.S. card issuers are now slowly migrating to the EMV Chip-and-PIN cards, and beginning October 2015, credit card companies will shift the liability for fraud to merchants if they do not comply with the EMV standard. This will encourage many merchants to move to the more secure standard, bringing a windfall of benefits to American consumers, including improved international interoperability and a sizable reduction in fraud.

Health Data Breaches: Does the Federal Government Already Have the Authority to Begin Fixing the Problem?
Wednesday evening, Anthem, the second largest health insurance company in the United States, revealed that it had suffered a massive data breach. Anthem covers one in nine Americans and, as The Washington Post reports, this may amount to the largest data breach yet at a major insurance company. The problem with cybersecurity at many large organizations is that it doesn't easily factor into the cost-benefit risk analysis that executives use when making decisions to allocate time and money. And that's a problem.Read more...
Data Privacy Day 2015: Highlighting the Importance of Data Stewardship

Nevertheless, the cultural norms and legal infrastructure necessary to promote responsible data stewardship are still in their infancy, and many executives and administrators have a difficult time justifying cybersecurity expenses that add little to the organization's bottom line over the short term.Read more...

Dust in the wind, Part II: No definitive answer on how dust might affect crops, livestock

So far, his cattle have had enough sense to walk away from the road and not eat the grass affected by the scoria dust coming off the gravel roads.

Live with passion, never stop chasing dreams!
About me: I'm physically fit, well educated, outgoing and enjoy a never-give-up attitude. I'm brought up in a loving family so I really value a harmony family. I love to laugh and spend time with friends and am ready to add someone special to my life. When I was little, I'd take few buckets and took any train to a new city with my friend. After twenty years, I still enjoy traveling to explore new places and new cultures. But I also have some weakness. I can't kill a fly, and I cried twice like a girl when I watched "Notebook,". I have little patience for flakes and fake people – those who smile while being angry on the inside, as I never know what they keep up their sleeve. You are curious about the world around you. You can take a joke and are not easily offended. You believe that sarcasm is a spice of life. You can spell, and are generally happy.

Preservation & Restoration
Videotape lasts longest when it's stored in cool, dry conditions. But even then, it doesn't keep forever. The most common aging problems are dirt build-up and decayed tape oxide that falls off the tape backing. When this occurs, the heads on the player have trouble reading the signal and they will get clogged up. Every tape is run through a cleaning machine before you're able to make a quality copy.
In the normal cleaning cycle, the tape is first wiped free of dirt with a couple of small tissues. Next, it is rubbed up against a small blade that removes any loose magnetic oxide particles. The final step sees the tape passing over a third tissue on the take-up reel. Then the whole process is reversed. None of this should affect the TV show on the tape.
Even tapes in pristine condition may still have video "noise" and other imperfections that reflect their age and the type of equipment from which they were produced. If so, a technician uses a "video noise reducer" that removes imperfections before copying. Colour loss and other imperfections can often be corrected at this time, too.
For tapes with serious oxide decay - it can be literally peeling off - there is another option: the ovens! No, not to burn them, but to warm them. Over the years, people working with old tape have learned that gentle heating - for anywhere from six to 24 or more hours, at temperatures ranging from 35°-65° Celsius - can actually cause the magnetic oxide to re-bond with the tape backing. The tape can then be run through a player and copied - but usually only once. The shock from the heating and re-bonding often renders a tape more fragile, so that it falls apart completely after that one last play. Such an all-or-nothing strategy is only tried when nothing else will work.
Compared to magnetic audio or video tape, 16mm film is quite durable. As a result, most of the work done in the CBC Archives with old film has had to do with preservation and copying, rather than restoration.
In terms of storage, the biggest effort has been devoted to re-canning. That meant taking tens of thousands of film reels out of metal cans and placing them into ventilated plastic "cans." Slightly more care and attention was required for the several thousand reels afflicted with vinegar syndrome.
Beyond that, transferring film to digital Betacam format -- usually done when someone needs a copy for fresh use or re-sale - is a straightforward process. First, a technician reviews the films using an editing machine (typically on something called a Steenbeck). The technician then combines small reels onto larger ones and makes minor repairs to damaged splices and damaged sprocket holes. The technician also makes sure all picture and sound elements are synchronized.
The next step is washing. For this, the film is loaded into a machine with a cleaning tank at the bottom, filled with fast-drying, environmentally friendly liquid. The film passes through the liquid, over buffer rollers and Particle Transfer Rollers that help remove dirt and then through a "sonic shaker" that frees up more particles. The PTR rollers work like little "lint brushes" to remove dirt from the film.
Once film is clean, it is turned over to a technician in one of two "video transfer suites" or "scanner rooms." The equipment in here is part of a sophisticated, computer controlled system that permits the operator to do quick colour and contrast corrections before copying. Sometime the before-and-after results are spectacular. At least two digital Beta copies or a BetacamSX are made of any film that passes through the transfer suite, sometimes more (either Beta or VHS).
The Radio Archives began taking shape as early as the late 1950s and early '60s. The first serious preservation and copying work began in the late 1970s, when technicians in the department began copying audio from old acetate discs to tape.
Acetate discs are durable and once they are vacuum-cleaned to remove dust and dirt, they are relatively easy to copy. The trickiest part is making sure you have a turntable that can play them. (Do you have a 78-rpm record player lying around at home?) Those used by the CBC have two pick-up arms - one for playing back discs that are engraved from the inside out, and the other for playing commercial outside-in recordings.
The principles behind cleaning magnetic audio tape is much the same as video tape, but the process is different.
To clean 1/4-inch audio tapes, the tapes are mounted to a tape player and then run through the machine at high-speed. If the tape is dirty, a sticky film will collect on the rollers that are used to set and balance tension. The operator then takes a cotton swab and some rubbing alcohol and wipes the rollers clean.
As with video tapes, those audio tapes with serious problems magnetic oxide decay can successfully be "baked" in the ovens before copying.
Cleaning up sound is different process. For cleaning up hisses, scratches, pops and other sound impurities, the archives rely chiefly on several technology systems, including Pro Tools.
