Scary Southeast Storm thread
Just hoping everyone is safe. There was a lull in the weather between today and yesterday, so I headed out to the Y this morning since they were open and roads were clear. Well, while I was there, it started snowing and road conditions rapidly deteriorated. It was a pretty scary ride home which normally takes me about 10 min. Plus, I just got a new-to-me car, and although I have AWD and am cautious, I don't need anyone to slide into me. People here tend to drive too fast for road conditions.
I'm supposed to go to a regional conference. I had planned to just drive on Friday, but I am doubtful the roads will be good by then, worrying about black ice in the morning. School is obviously closed today, and there is no way we will go tomorrow either because this storm is supposed to last at least through the morning on Thurs.
It is really snowing pretty hard now. Just hoping for more snow, less sleet and freezing rain. As long as the power stays on, I will be thankful. Happy to be home with DH and kitty.
We are supposed to get clobbered tonight and tomorrow here in metro DC. Even here, where we are more used to this kind of weather than your area, people drive like maniacs like it's sunny and 80 degrees. It's usually the people with SUV's'/AWD who think that just because they have AWD they don't have to go slowly and be careful...AWD does not help you on ice!
We were driving back from Ohio once when it was snowing and icy....an SUV wizzed by us, got a little bit ahead of us and spun out and was all over the freeway.....DH was able to slow down and pull off to the side (or we would have hit him)....we come to a stop and another SUV driver came within literally 1" of hitting us when he spun out of control....then the SUV that had passed us and was sliding in circles ahead of us did get plowed into by another SUV who was cruising along and could not stop in time.
Moral of the story---even if you have an SUV/AWD/FWD, drive like you're in a Model T if there's snow and ice.
Ran into this issue (of other drivers) last week after our big snow. Had to travel on a street that hadn't yet been plowed to an appointment. Many inches of slushy snow on the street. Speed limit is 35, I was doing about 20 and still could feel how slippery it was in my compact car. Car -- not even an SUV-- comes up quickly behind me, and in my rear view I could see that he is fishtailing a bit, but does he keep a safe distance away from me? NOOO, he is tailgating me because I am not going quickly enough to suit him!
(my Mom used to say, "And just think, he votes...)
I am near Raleigh, NC (southeast near the I40-I95 crossing). I just went and cleaned off my car for the third time today. If I measured correctly on the roof of my car, I have 4 inches so far. Right now, it has switched to a sleet/snow mix, supposed to switch back to snow for awhile later then eventually sleet and/or freezing rain overnight.
I didn't go to work today because I didn't want to get stuck in Raleigh. Traffic is pure gridlock up that way right now from people who went to work and all left for home at the same time. I was kinda kicking my self around 11 AM because I could have gotten in a half day, but now I'm glad I stayed home!
Right now praying for more sleet that freezing rain so I don't lose power since my house is all electric!
Rare, I am with your mom. Sometimes I wonder how those people have enough sense to tie their own shoelaces. Maybe they use Velcro.
We are in a small town in central Georgia and all our trees are icy----every branch is weighted down with ice---and it is windy! We live in the woods and I am hearing trees come down sounding like glaciers breaking apart. I hope they don't come down on the driveway, as it is a bit of a hike without a car. And I just had a fence repaired from the damage caused from a downed 50 ft Leyland Cypress in the last storm. :-(
We know it's coming so I went food shopping today...what a zoo! The storm is supposed to get here by tomorrow a.m. and last through Friday a.m. Right now they're talking about 6-10" in our area but we don't know how much will be sleet or ice or freezing rain. Such fun!
Straitlover, I am in Charlotte, and we have the same things here. Because there was a lull this morning, many people went to work, but then they all got released at the same time, leading to gridlock. Originally they predicted the snow would start around 11:30, but it actually started around 9:30, which is why I thought I had plenty of time to go to the Y.
Kswl, we had our large tree in the back undergo a major pruning about a month ago. Glad we did that!
DH and I went out to clear snow off the cars and pull them up further in the driveway. There was at least 4" of snow just from when I got home around 10 a.m. We had some sleet mixing in, but now we seem to be in a lull again. We are supposed to get mostly snow, some sleet, and hopefully minimal freezing rain.
I hope everyone stays safe! Such crazy weather this winter...even in New England, where we are used to snow, it's more frequent than usual. We are flying from Boston to Miami Friday afternoon...fingers crossed that our flight doesn't get screwed up (she said selfishly).
Living in CA for a couple of years now and do not miss the winter weather in the northeast one tiny bit. High 70's and sunny here today ... I'm wearing sandals. I now know and understand why people continue to pay the crazy prices here in CA for homes and taxes ... no snow, no humidity & no bugs.
Hope you all stay safe and that you get less bad weather than predicted.
I am supposed to fly into Dulles tomorrow. To the DC folks, should I bother even packing (coming from KC where we are finally above freezing for the first time in weeks so no bad weather on my end)? My parents are supposed to drive up to pick me up and I can't decide which is the scarier thought, flying into a snowstorm, or the drive to and from the airport!
In North Alabama here we had just shy of 4" yesterday, which mostly melted today in the rain. But it started a wintry mix about an hour and a half ago, quickly turned to wet, heavy snow, and now the ground is covered. Who knows how much we'll get but it will likely be another 4 inches at least and probably freeze tonight. Schools have been closed for 2 days and will be closed tomorrow. I have been home 2 days as well, and since we are in a rural area and I have to cross a river to get to work, I will stay home if needed. I have AWD, but I don't trust everyone else.
Good luck to those traveling by air. Hope everyone stays safe and warm!
May be in the 60's his weekend. Alabama...where you can wear snow boots and flip flops in the same week!
Kellienoelle, I would be willing to bet your parents won't want to drive to Dulles to get you. The airport is in the area with a 8-12 inch range for snow predictions. Depending on your arrival time, it could also be sleeting before turning back to snow. Have you ever used Uber? It is a car service you can access through an app on your phone. Not sure if that would be any better, but it might be a possibility. I would not be surprised if lots of flights into Dulles and National are cancelled.
My flight is canceled and rebooked for a later flight out same day, so arriving at 9:10 PM. I offered to just get a hotel and stay up at the airport until things had calmed down on Friday, but they assured me it wouldn't be necessary. I've used Uber, but I am pretty sure that they wont want to drive me an hour away in a snow storm (or I wont want to pay for it). Remind me again why I am traveling in the winter?
DD is in college about an hour NE of Atlanta. Her classes were cancelled yesterday, today and also tomorrow. She lives on a hill about 1/2 mile from campus. As I was speaking to her on the phone today she said "Oh there goes some guys sliding down our road in a kayak. Now someone else is using a table." I told her that we used to swipe cafeteria trays to use as sleds. She said if there is any hint of snow at her school, the cafeterias hide all the trays.
Hopefully she keeps her power. Here in SE GA we are cold and rainy.
Yeah...it doesn't matter WHAT the Hell you're driving if you start sliding....
ICE is the great equalizer for anything with wheels.
Obviously though...SO FEW people in the middle/southern US seem to grasp this!! Practice-makes-perfect up here though...
LOL on the kayak going down the hill.
Cami, sorry you lost power. Things seem to be OK here for now.
Just got an email that the regional conference is canceled. They have never done this in my ~20 years of attending, and we have had a fair number of years of bad weather. Really, no one in the region can travel by vehicle or plane. I'm sure the hotel has stranded travelers they can't kick out, plus I'm sure hotel staff can barely report.
Everyone sounds like they are holding up well in the face of adversity. Here in the Maryland suburbs of DC the event is just getting started. The best course is just to stay home, read a good book, hope the power does not go out, but be prepared if it does, "have food", interjects DH, do the shoveling nice and easy ( bummer- my snow guy is AWOL), and face time with the grands. I hope everyone stays warm and safe.
Kellie...I hope you don't get canceled again....last I heard we are supposed to snow on into thurs afternoon. Will be interesting to see how much progress they make clearing the snow. Could even be dicey on Friday. So far everything is shut down tomorrow. Good luck making your way here!

Kellienoelle, I'm in the DC/Baltimore metro area also. The area west of DC, where Dulles is, is supposed to get walloped, moreso than the eastern suburbs. Even if your flight doesn't get canceled, I'm sure the roads will still be pretty bad at 9pm tomorrow night. You might be better off getting that hotel room, but I'd book one now just in case since there are going to be loads of stranded travelers all looking for hotel rooms (as well as people who may lose power and need a warm room).
Dh had the misfortune of being on a business trip to L.A., returning tomorrow afternoon. When this storm started to look more promising, I called him yesterday morning and told him he might want to try leaving today. He skipped his last meeting, rebooked his flight (he was supposed to go thru Atlanta of all places!) through Houston and then on to BWI arriving at 11pm this evening. Then I got a call this morning from United saying his Houston-BWI portion was canceled and they put him on a flight tomorrow morning getting in around noon. Before he got on the flight to Houston, they told him they rebooked him to Chicago from Houston and now he's not supposed to get in until 5pm tomorrow night. Same time as his original flight! I'm certain he'll end up getting stuck in Chicago tomorrow night. Totally sucks - Houston for one night then Chicago the next. He should've just stayed in L.A. until Friday! But he was worried it would be really hard to get home at that point with all the cancellations and rebookings.
I hope you make it here. Better to get here and stay the first night in a hotel than being constantly rebooked! Where are you flying in from?
And Joanie, last I heard, the snow is supposed to continue into the evening but not sure how much into the evening. I'm in Annapolis so right near the rain/snow line. Which always means more rain, less snow, though this time the rain is supposed to be sleet which could really be a mess for the roads! I'm just praying we don't lose power. Been steadily snowing here for nearly 3 hours.
Good luck to all in the path of this storm!
Sounds like a big storm, you guys alI stay safe and sound at home with a pot of chili, a fire, and a good book. I am flying in from Kansas City, where we have very nice weather coming up (after our own storm last week and quite a cold snap). It is a direct flight, so if the airport remains open and flight isn't canceled I think we'll be OK. I went ahead and booked a room at the Dulles Marriott just in case we make it into the area but can't make it to our destination (which is even more southwest from Dulles). If not, fingers crossed that they can put us on one of the Friday flights, I imagine quite a few folks to be rescheduled. I just hope for snow only, ice is such a nightmare.
We are flying in because my parents have sold our family home and built a new house. So they are so excited to show it off to me and to my sister, who is supposed to be driving down from New York. My mom is pretty disappointed about this setback, so hopefully we all make it in!
Kellienoelle, i so hope you make it today. I just heard on the news that united has canceled all flights in and out of Dulles until at least 7pm tonight. Not sure what airline you are using but I'm sure other airlines will be following suit unfortunately. They've already had a ton of snow. Here in annapolis east of DC, we probably have 5" or so but it has changed over to sleet and the wind is really blowing. I'm worried my husbands flight (united from Chicago) is going to end up canceled. Not that I want his travel home prolonged another day, but I'd almost rather him wait til tomorrow as I'll be worried about his drive home on the roads after dark tonight.
Hope you make it to your parents' new home soon!
Airport closed here, too. It is so eerily quiet because we live about 20 min from the airport, and there are no planes taking off here. No cars on the road, and the light rail is supposedly running but I haven't heard their "beep-beep." I also haven't heard freight trains either.
We are still getting light sleet and freezing rain, but I think more snow to come later today. Surprisingly, in our region, there have not been a lot of power outages. Just hope that holds for us.
Coffee is ready!
I hope you all haven't lost power. Our news said almost a million lost it overnight.
We had an ice storm where we lost power for 3 weeks. The good news is it led to us remodeling our house and building a room with a cooking fireplace. lol
I do want to say, if you have Yak Trax, please please wear them. If you don't have any, order some for next year. We had packed sleet a few years ago and I fell and hit my head on an antique iron wheel in the flowerbed. (I was reaching for the rain gauge, lol), and I found out it's true, that life does pass before you within seconds. I laid there waiting to die. Then I got up when I realized I wasn't. lol. I started bawling like a baby when I went inside because I was imagining my family's life without me.
Yak Trax. Never leave home without them, no matter if you only have to walk a few feet!
The snow has started here now and it is coming down at a good clip and we're supposed to get up to 40 mph wind gusts. We're planning on trying to clean it up around noon before the changeover to freezing rain as the snow is so much easier to move dry than wet. Tonight it's supposed to change back to snow again, so I'm sure we'll be cleaning it again on Friday am.
DH calls it my aerobic snow shoveling! I do get a good upper body workout from it though....
And now they're talking more snow on Saturday. Yum!
"SO FEW people in the middle/southern US seem to grasp this!!"
These kinds of comments are every bit as encouraging as they are helpful, and we southerners always give them the merit they deserve. :)
We have a beautiful snow blanket over everything, and I'm loving the view from my windows.
Unfortunately, DH has to drive a hundred miles north of us today, and the roads in that direction are covered in a sheet of ice.
We're stuck in Miami, which isn't so bad, except we were planning on flying to New Orleans to visit DS#3 and that got canceled. Haven't got a response from DS#1 in Atlanta this morning, hope he's got power. We'll fly back to CT tomorrow to dig out. What a winter!
Oakley, I have a friend who is originally from Idaho, and she swears by Yak Trax.
Melsouth, safe travels for your DH. I am hoping my DH does not have to go to work tomorrow. They have some real estate closings scheduled, and I hope they will be able to move them. Last storm, I drove him in the AWD (my previous car was a 5-speed which he does not like to drive) because the clients insisted on closing even though they were not moving immediately. I should still be off school, but I had already planned on no class tomorrow because some of the students and I were supposed to be at the conference.

Kellie .....I'm sure you've heard by now that Dulles is closed today....and I doubt your sister will be driving down from NY. Tomorrow could be just as bad as any untreated roads will be sheets of ice with temps in the 20's overnight. Hope you make it tomorrow!
We are about 20 miles north of DC and we got 15" with more expected this afternoon.
We're stuck in Miami, which isn't so bad, except we were planning on flying to New Orleans to visit DS#3 and that got canceled. Haven't got a response from DS#1 in Atlanta this morning, hope he's got power. We'll fly back to CT tomorrow to dig out. What a winter!

My flight into Dulles isn't canceled yet so I remain hopeful. It's a late flight, doesn't land until after 9PM. Just talked to my mom and she seems to think that the worst of the storm is passed. So maybe they'll have time to clean up and re-open the airports! Perhaps just wishful thinking, but I figure they are going to want to get any flights they can in.
Oh bummer, kellie! My husband, who had flown to Houston yesterday trying to get home, was supposed to fly to Chicago then Baltimore today. The Chicago-Baltimore portion ended up getting canceled. He was trying all kinds of options, including flying to Cleveland and driving home from there! At one point the agent said they couldn't get him home until Monday! He ended up getting on a flight to Newark, NJ (it took off an hour ago, so yay, looks like he will at least make it to the east coast). He's then taking Amtrak from Newark back to BWI airport. Thankfully the train stops there as his car is there. However, I will be worried sick about his drive home from the airport. It's on about 25 miles away and mostly highway, but there are always accidents on that highway, even on a clear day! And I'm sure the roads will referee after dark tonight.
I hope you will be able to visit your parents' new home soon. Sorry you had to miss your trip.
Kellie, sorry about your trip being cancelled. Hope you can all reschedule on another, better weekend.
Fourkids, hope you and your kids are making it just fine and that your DH will get home safe and sound. It's no fun being on the road and frustrated by weather delays. Been there, got that t-shirt and don't want any more.
We lost power last night around 10:30 while getting ready for bed. It was still snowing big chunky flakes. The power finally came back on around 5:30 but not before the security alarm beeped a few times to let us know it was on battery power around 2:30 (we forgot to re-set it). Work was cancelled again so another snow day but temps are climbing in the upper 30's. Roads are still a mess.
Our neighbors (who are out skiing in CO) had a pine tree fall across the road so the other 2 neighbors couldn't get out. Weird because we had been out walking and I had taken pictures. I looked back and around 9:30 there was no tree down. About an hour after we had come in (DH skied our 'hill') and we were putting things away, the tree uprooted from the weight of the snow. DH and the other neighbors got their chainsaws and cleared it. That was our big excitement today.
Here is one of my snow dog angels- Cooper. We got about 16 inches of snow here in MD with more forecast for tonight.
Just thought a cheery photo would be fun. Bailey was warming her royal self in front of the fire while Cooper was outside playing.
Keep warm and safe
Here in my area (East TN), we had 6-8 inches (didn't measure) and it is beautiful. AND (more importantly!) it is already melting on the roads and our (steep) driveway. We've had a bit of sun today and the temps were enough to help the melting. Tonight will be colder though (20ish), so tomorrow morning will be icy. I've not been outside any further than the front porch and out the sunroom door - to take pictures. The school were I work part-time was closed today (never happens!), so I have been enjoying a nice day relaxing and a little bit of puttering around the house (and cooking!). Thankfully power was not lost here. MIL (undergoing chemo - lives alone), dad (83 lives alone) and grandmother (95 - lives in assisted living), all doing well. First thing I think about in this kind of weather!
We are supposed to hit 60 next week - will love that!
Thanks for the commisseration but despite my canceled trip, I am on the good end of this deal. I feel for the ones who are having to live through it, or are stranded away from home. Fourkids....I hope he makes it home safe and sound!
Cooper at least seems to be enjoying the snow!
Love the picture of Bailey in the snow. My lab loves the snow...so fun to watch him run around in it.
Outside, I'm used to weathering storms without dh-can't tell you how many times he's been heading home and gotten stranded, poor guy. My kids and I are fine...warm and toasty. I made a huge batch of marinara sauce and meatballs yesterday in case we lost power (I could reheat on gas range) then made a batch of cookies today with my youngest. Just started a wood fire, so we are cozy here and waiting on the final blast. Supposed to get 2-4" in the next few hours.
Dh is currently standing on the train platform waiting on his train. Had a brief scare in Newark...first no available gates so they waited on runway for nearly an hour, then couldn't get the jetway connected to the plane b/c of all the snow and ice. I thought he was going to miss the train. Thankfully he texted me he's there on the platform so should arrive in MD in about 2.5 hrs. Hurray!
And just got word school closed again tomorrow. Extra long weekend for my kids. They already have Monday and Tuesday off for winter break!
Snowing again here north of DC. Schools closed tomorrow, but they are going to announce later if admin offices (which means me) have to go in.....no sign of a plow on our street yet and DH is working from home so only managed to clear half the driveway...don't think I'm headed anywhere anytime soon!
Love the picture of Cooper. Our Clouseau is the same way-loves the snow. Just came in, but only because I called him. Looked like a snowman since it is snowing again.
Fairfax County school announced at 4:15 pm they were closed for tomorrow. Ha. That will teach them to take away our Presidents' Day holiday by making it a make-up day. ;)
Woke up to another 3" of snow on top of slush and the expectation for 4" more tomorrow. It's getting to be we just don't know where to put the stuff. But they keep telling us that next week we'll have several days above freezing so some of it will melt. Let's hope so!
Yesterday we used our snow blower to clear 12" deep snow off the driveway. As we we blowing the snow, a snowplow came by and the driver looked as if he was going to push the snow across the driveway, but didn't dare do it while we were watching.
We got about another inch of snow last night and woke up this morning to find 2 feet of packed, icy snow across our driveway. Revenge of the plowman?

In my Team Foundation Server, I have a collection containing a Team Project. This Team Project has several contributors. The following lines of code get all contributors of that project:
TfsTeamProjectCollection collection = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri("http://tfs:8080/tfs/CollectionName"));
IGroupSecurityService groupSecurityService = collection.GetService<IGroupSecurityService>();
Identity contributors = groupSecurityService.ReadIdentity(SearchFactor.AccountName, "[ProjectName]\\Contributors", QueryMembership.Expanded);
Identity[] members = groupSecurityService.ReadIdentities(SearchFactor.Sid, contributors.Members, QueryMembership.None);
Each Identity in members has a Property MailAddress, which in my case is equal to string.Empty.
Where do I administrate those mail addresses?
My first idea was to have a look at the users in Start->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Users
I selected one of the users and opened his properties. I thought there might be an email property that the TFS would take. But I couldn't find one.
Then I opened the TFS Administration Console, looked for Group Membership and navigated to one of the users. There is also no way of editing properties.
Does anyone know where to set that email address?

craftsman edger attachment
I have this edger attachment (358.792400) and the flex shaft is always disengaging inside the shaft. When this happens, I have to take the attachment off, work the flex shaft back down into its cradle or holder at the bottom of the shaft, then reattach the shaft. This is a constant problem and I cannot even get one side of my sidewalk done without this happening 4 or 5 times.
Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?
There is an upper drive shaft housing and a lower drive shaft housing around the drive shaft. You state that you continually must remove the lower shaft or edger unit, adjust, and re-install. Unless there is excessive wear or something is broken, there are at least 3 possible places for the drive shaft to be "too long." These are at the place where the upper shaft fits into the engine unit, at the coupler that joins the upper and lower shafts, and at the bottom where the edger head fits onto the lower shaft. To make sure that the pieces go back together properly  mark each part of the shaft, coupler, etc. so that you get proper alignment when putting it back together. For the upper drive shaft, remove or loosen the coupler where the upper shaft connects to the lower shaft. Then loosen bolts where the upper shaft connects to the engine unit. Do a couple of short twists and turns with the upper shaft to make sure it is slightly loose  and with a little force, push the upper shaft housing into the engine unit to seat it properly. Re-install the coupler, making sure that it also is seated as far onto the upper shaft as is required. At the bottom where the lower shaft fits into the edger unit  loosen any holding screws and make sure that the edger head is pushed far enough onto the lower shaft, then re-fasten the screws.

Mark Prior still believes he has what it takes to pitch in the majors. Now 32, Prior reported to minor league camp with the Cincinnati Reds. Should he return to the major league level he will be reunited with Dusty Baker. Prior has not pitched in the majors since 2006 because of ongoing shoulder problems. This is not the first time Prior has attempted a comeback. "He called me and said asked for a chance," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "I talked to Walt (Jocketty). (Prior) says he feels good. He feels like he has some unfinished business." Baker is blamed by many for Prior's injuries but the two have kept in contact over the years. "I talk to him a couple of times a year," Baker said. "He's always came to see me when we were in San Diego." Prior was with Boston last year. He went 1-0 with a 3.96 ERA in 25 innings for Triple-A Pawtucket. He allowed 15 hits, struck 38 and walked 23.

banana problems!!!!!
Ok so long story short my potted bananas only trunk got broke off and then it started rotting so I pulled it out and put it in a vase. I washed the dirt off and cut the rot out and now it looks decent. I also made a clean cut because the top was starting to rot after it broke. It's in a vase of water now because I'm afraid to pot it. What should I do? I've had it for 3 years and I don't want to loose it.
You can stick your banana in a plastic garbage sack with some peat moss and stick in a cool basement location until Spring, and plant it then. If you replant it now, make sure the potting soil has very good drainage. You can add sand, perlite, or whatever you like to aerate the soil. The best thing you can do for bananas during the winter is NOT overwater them. My advise would be this... buy a soil moisture meter and use it religiously. Don't water it until the soil is almost totally dry. You can kill a banana plant from overwatering very easily, but RARELY from underwatering. The banana "trunk" and roots store lots of water, so they can go a LONG time without watering. If you overwater, the roots will rot and die.

Apple has been reportedly working on improving the iPhone picture quality. According to a recent patent sighting, the tech giant has been focusing on the development and use of a "super-resolution" imaging engine. The technology employs optical image stabilization to capture multiple samples and combine them together for a top-notch photo. Can Apple be including this in the next iPhone 6?
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published a patent application under Apple discussing the use of "Super-resolution based on optical image stabilization." The main goal of the technology is to provide an alternative way to use the present OIS technology and differentiate from existing competition.
Throughout the years, Apple has gained a good market position especially through its iPhone offering. The new patent shows Apple's goal of becoming a leading smartphone manufacturer including in the camera and picture quality sector. The patent describes using a new technology that can improve picture resolution without adding megapixels.
To put it simply, the technology works with optical image stabilization (OIS) system to capture a series of images in rapid succession. Each image is captured at a slightly different angle. The samples are then transferred to an image processing engine that conducts the patchwork. This results to a high quality photo.
Conventional OIS systems work with positioning or inertial sensors to recognize camera movement such as vibrating motion from a shaking hand. Actuators found on the imaging module or lens elements of camera, move in a similar and opposite vector to address the unnecessary movement. Stabilization physical modes often create high quality images as opposed to software-based processes. OIS moves the components of the camera physically as compared to digital stabilization techniques that address unnecessary motions by extracting pixels from the border of the image.
In one of the embodiments, the system features a camera, an actuator for positioning of the OIS, an inertial sensor, a positioning sensor, a super-resolution engine and an OIS processor. The processor used in the system follows a similar structure with the A7 chip used in the iPhone 5s. Apple Insider has also reported about Apple's patent filing for interchangeable camera lenses.
Patent filings do not promise automatic inclusion in the company's upcoming devices. Nonetheless, Apple has used many of its applications previously this new system should find its way to devices like the iPhone soon including the iPhone 6. In a market marked by stiff competition, image quality and camera have been deciding factors for consumers as well.
Apple will reportedly release the iPhone 6 around August or September according to a report by Reuters.

The House on Mango Street
Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught everywhere from inner-city grade schools to universities across the country, and translated all over the world,The House on Mango Street is the remarkable story of Esperanza Cordero. Told in a series of vignettes – sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply joyous – it is the story of a young Latina girl growing up in Chicago, inventing for herself who and what she will become. Few other books in our time have touched so many readers.
Baker & Taylor
For Esperanza, a young girl growing up in the Hispanic quarter of Chicago, life is an endless landscape of concrete and run-down tenements, and she tries to rise above the hopelessness

I learned that sometimes you might be in the right place but don't realize it. And where you live makes you who you are based on the experiences you have and the people around you.
I thought this book because it wasn't just a story it was many stories that made up her neighborhood
wonderful vignettes of a Latina girl growing up in Chicago; really gives you a feel of life for her.
Bonus for this 25th anniversary edition is the introduction written by Cisneros which outlines the process of writing this book and her career as a writer.
This is not a traditionally written novel. Instead, it is written in a series of vignettes about a women who would like to get out of her current situation and away from mango street in the pursuit of a better life. A great book for teens to read in order to teach empowerment.
I love this book. Such a classic. I loved it growing up and still love it as an adult. I highly recommend it!
Boring, vapid language. Don't read it.

SummaryAdd a Summary
The House on Mango Street shows the life of Esperanza a girl who tells the story of her life from different angles. When her family moves to a house on Mango Street, Esperanza wants and hopes for a better house without realizing how great her house is, despite all of the different subjects that come up, such as segregation, a run-down neighborhood, and being poor. Past all of that she has a family that loves her and a house to stay in which is half of what some people have in her neighborhood
The House on Mango Street is a year in the life of Esperanza, a Chicana who is about twelve years old when the novel begins. During the year, she moves with her family into a house on Mango Street. The house is a huge improvement from the family's previous apartment, and it is the first home her parents actually own. However, the house is not what Esperanza has dreamed of, because it is run-down and small. The house is in the center of a crowded Latino neighborhood in Chicago, a city where many of the poor areas are racially segregated. Esperanza does not have any privacy, and she resolves that she will someday leave Mango Street and have a house all her own.
This book is about a strong willed mexican girl, named Esperanza, who lives in the Hispanic district of Chicago. It is vignettes of her life living in her tiny house on Mango Street. Esperanza is slowly finding out who she is throughout the book. She wants to break free of her bubble she is in; move somewhere else and have power. She is only a young girl with a dream of finding a better life.

A First Timer's Guide to Fort Collins, Colorado
Old Town Fort Collins
There are lots of reasons to visit Colorado anytime of year, and Denver has been gaining momentum in recent years with tourists thanks to its growing metropolitan offerings, booming craft beer scene, and the curiosity that came with its legalization of marijuana.
Even though it is now a destination in itself, the Mile High City has long served as a launching pad for the ski and mountains towns in the front range of the Rockies, a hub for easy day trips. Today, we take a ride north to check out what there is to do on a first time visit to one of those cities--FORT COLLINS.

5 Tips For Beating the Crowds at Vail on Holiday Weekends
Beat the lift lines at Colorado's most popular resort by following these tips
The ideal situation when navigating popular ski resorts is to make your way to the mountain during the work week, when crowds are nonexistent and lines are thin. But in reality, that's just not possible for many people.
Thousands and thousands of skiers and snowboarders will head to Vail for the upcoming MLK and President's Day weekends, but that doesn't mean you have to waste your day away in the lift line.
Below are five tips for beating the crowds on busy weekends at Vail:

5 Places to Eat and Drink Like a Local in Vail
Vail is an international ski destination, more than it is a mountain built for locals. That's not to say locals don't ride it – it's got a killer back bowls, after all – but there's no question Vail's three villages were constructed with luxury, out-of-town visitors in mind.
Still, that doesn't mean you can't find down-to-earth establishments at which to eat, drink, and be merry. We've talked about how to avoid the crowds and ski Vail like a local, and now we dish where, amongst a sea of fine dining, you'll find real people just hanging out.

What's the Difference Between Vail Resort's Four Mountains in Colorado?
View of the backside of Vail
When speaking of "Vail," most people think of the mountain town 100 miles west of Denver. But when speaking of skiing Vail, you may actually be talking about Vail Resorts, the ski resort operator, which has four different mountain resorts in Colorado: Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone, and Beaver Creek. All four mountains provide trails across a range of difficulty levels and all are family-friendly. Yet once you get past those initial similarities, though, you'll find that each has different specialties to offer skiers and snowboarders. Below, we take a look at the main differences between Vail's mountains:

Southwest's New Investment Could Mean More Jet Fuel, Fewer Forest Fires
A new Colorado company called Red Rock Biofuels is beginning to catch on in a big way.
Based in Fort Collins, Red Rock converts "woody biomass," including bark and tree branches, into renewable jet fuels. Last summer, it landed a contract with the U.S. military and this week, Southwest Airlines agreed to purchase 3 million gallons of the biofuel per year. The fuel will be produced at a soon-to-exist production plant in Oregon, and the first batch will be ready in 2016.

Photos: Biking One of America's Highest Roads, Outside of Denver
Last year, we gave you the rundown about how you can drive Trail Ridge Road, America's "highest elevated continuously paved road," located outside of Denver. A few weeks ago, this travel writer decided to bike it, all 48 miles from Estes Park to Grand Lake through Rocky Mountain National Park. Eleven miles of it are above treeline, topping out at 12,183 feet.
Obviously, it was quite the physical challenge, but it also brought about spectacular scenery (and a very large post-ride beer), which we share with you below. Does it entice you to give it a go? There's still a few more months until the snow falls and the road closes if you're feeling motivated.

The Definitive Website for Exploring Colorado's Marijuana Tourism
Since marijuana was legalized in Denver at the beginning of 2014, this travel writer has fielded all sorts of questions from people around the world. Whenever I tell someone I'm from Denver, their eyes go wide. "Oh, really? What's it like there now? Is it crazy? Did you bring any with you?"
I always laugh. People get so much of their perspective from secondary sources - typically ones that focus on highly sensationalized and dramatic outliers - that they have a hard time thinking rationally about reality. No, I tell them. Denver has not burned down yet. A thick cloud of smoke does not hover over the city. And no, most Coloradans do not smoke weed all day, every day. Just as you might drink a beer at the end of a long day, I tell them, those of us who reside in Colorado can partake in a joint.

Travel Snapshot: Summer Versus Winter in Steamboat Springs
Back in February, we showed you photos from the best ski day of our lives, when we were blessed by blue skies that followed a huge snow storm in Steamboat Springs over Super Bowl weekend.
Then, as the snow melted in April, we explained why ski towns are also awesome during the summer months. Practicing what we preach, we paid a visit to Steamboat at the end of July for some mountain biking, and the result was an cool contrast that demonstrates why the mountains rock all year round. Skiing dominates the winter, but there's actually more to do in the summer, including biking, camping, hiking, climbing, and whitewater rafting.

Easy Day Trips from Denver: Rafting the Little-Known Poudre River
Action shot of our rafting trip down the Poudre River in Fort Collins
Colorado is often talked about during the winter months, when the snow falls and people travel from around the world to ski its slopes. Perhaps this is one reason why Fort Collins, despite being a mecca of beer brewing and the location of the most joked-about river in the state, has continued to fly under the radar. Because it doesn't have a ski hill and isn't a major city, it gets lost in the shuffle of Denver and the iconic mountain towns of Aspen, Vail, and Breckenridge.
This is good news as far as we're concerned. Fort Collins is located only an hour's drive from Denver, but it seems more remote than that thanks to this aforementioned low profile. The locals are incredibly down-to-earth and genuine, and tourists that find their way to Fort Collins aren't there by accident or because they've heard about the town their entire lives. They've sought it out because of one reason or another, so there's an aspect of realness and authenticity to everyone you meet. We experienced two of those reasons this past weekend: Beer and underrated whitewater rafting.

Did You Know? There's a Sahara-like Desert South of Denver
Great Sand Dunes National Park at sunset
With the calendar now on June and nighttime temperatures becoming more consistent, camping season is upon us across most of the country. Things are moving a bit slower in Colorado, though, as the snow-filled winter has translated into a wet, spring runoff that has left campsites and surrounding trails soggy.
But that doesn't mean we can't have a good adventure while we wait for things to dry out. In this travel snapshot, we feature Great Sand Dunes National Park, located four hours south of Denver. When things have the potential to be wet and sloppy during the spring or late fall, seek refuge amongst the gigantic sand dunes, where it is sure to be warm and dry.

Freelance writer & fine art photographer
My interest in photography began when my parents bought me a Ricoh KR-10m camera over 20 years ago. Since that day I progressed from colour negative to slide and black and white film and finally to digital, when I bought my first digital SLR, an EOS 350D, in 2006. During that time I've taken photos in over 60 countries, studied for a degree in photography and worked as Technical Editor for EOS magazine. Now I'm a freelance writer and I make a living writing and publishing ebooks about photography. In recent years I've lived in the UK, China and New Zealand, which is now my home.

Ornamental Aluminum Fence - Pittsburgh Area - I need help!
My first post on this forum, here goes nothing. I live south of Pittsburgh and in between having a dog and deer finding my backyard to be a great place to poop, I need a fence. I property is triangular and have decided to get either vinyl or aluminum for the front, against the street and chain link on the one side. The other side has my neighbor's fence.
It all needs to be 6ft high (the borough will not allow more), with one gate in the front. My preference (looks wise) would be aluminum. I need 100 feet of it (and 160 ft of chainlink).I can install it myself without a problem, so the question is about the product.
I went to a couple of lumbar yards and lowe's and have found the following products:
1. Lowe's sells Gilpin, Merchants Metals and Rockland - the salesperson recommended Rockland but the don't keep any samples in stock so I could not touch it.
2. the other contractors around here carry either Regis or Alumi-Guard.
So My questions are:
1. Are any of the 3 brands sold by Lowe's worth saving $1000. Are they that bad...I would really appreciate some objective answers here.
2. if Lowe's products are junk, what about Regis or Alumi-guard? Is their residential grade good enough? I know they also have a commercial or industrial grade, but the price really jumps up.
I don't need something spectacular, I just need somethng that will stand up without problems for 10 years, given the Pittsburgh weather.
An suggestions would be very much appreciated, i am kinda lost. I could really use the extra bucks I would save, but I don't want to buy junk that needs replaced within 6 months. Thank you!

AES E-Library
A Signal Biasing Output Transformerless Transistor Power Amplifier
Power amplifiers are usually designed to perform best into a purely dissipative load of constant value. Loudspeaker systems however contain large reactive impedance components capable of considerable energy storage. Recognizing this fact a simple output transformerless transistor power amplifier is developed which, through the expedience of extracting a small amount of stored loudspeaker energy when required, is capable of delivering low subjective distortion to a loduspeaker system while maintaining an electrical operating efficiency approaching that of a conventional Class B amplifier.

Ceramica Royal, Al Omaraa and Alrajaa Group adopt System technology for digital decoration and end of line.
The Omani company has installed two new Evolve digital decoration machines supplied by Siti B&T Group partner Projecta Engineering
Sacmi's new robotized glazing station for sanitaryware has been tested and started up.
One of the most important investments in progress at Toto's production sites is the imminent start-up of a new production line for large ceramic panels using GEA technology from System.
CMF Technology has already sold numerous items from the XLT range.
The Executive board has approved the Draft Financial Statements to 31 December 2014 showing a clear improvement in profitability.
The 20th World Ceramic Tiles Manufacturer's Forum (WCTF) was hosted by Anfacer, the Brazilian Association of Ceramic Tile Manufacturers, from 5 to 8 November 2013. Representatives of the ceramic tiles industry came from all corners of the world to discuss issues of common interest in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The World Ceramic Tiles Manufacturers' Forum was created in 1994 and is the annual meeting of the ceramic tiles manufacturers worldwide. With active countries including Australia, Argentina, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates and the US, participation has continuously increased in recent years-
This year's WCTF revealed upwards trends in global consumption and production and provided an update of the current process in the World Customs Organisation (WCO) to review the outdated Harmonised System (HS) classification determining customs codes for ceramic tiles. Moreover, this session of the Forum presented an opportunity to discuss the developments in standardisation at European and international level. Participants also used this fitting occasion to share key trends, challenges and experiences in trade from their respective countries.
The consistent rise in consumption and production reflects a healthy and growing global market for ceramic tiles. Global consumption in 2012 has increased by 4.7% compared to 2011, representing a rise of over 91% compared to 2000 levels. Moreover, production in 2012 has exceeded 2000 levels by over 89%, equivalent to more than 10.3 billion square meters of ceramic tiles.
Regarding HS codes, World Forum members were pleased that the agreed proposal was submitted to the WCO in July 2012 and will be addressed under the 5th HS review cycle. The WCO raised various questions in October of this year, prompting the WCTF to address these and deliver common answers in advance of the upcoming WCO meeting in November. Successful review of old codes (HS 6907/6908) applicable to ceramic tiles will provide more reliable customs classification and international trade statistics in line with the reality of the production and markets.
The WCTF provided an occasion to explore the developments in international standardisation (ISO) and the activities of the ongoing working groups (WGs) under ISO TC 189. The discussion mainly centred around the topic of water absorption and the potential to establish a single global test method through the ISO route. At the EU level, steps have been taken towards creating harmonised Product Category Rules (PCRs) for ceramic tiles. This project, which is now at an advanced stage, will promote the interoperability of Environment Product Declaration (EPD) schemes. The WCTF agreed to launch a working group aiming at reaching a consensus on PCRs internationally accepted. A working group will also be initiated to further improve the consistency of production statistics at international level.
Lastly, the WCTF provided an overview of market access issues (tariff and technical barriers to trade), which are increasingly hampering the development of trade in the ceramic tiles sector. WCTF reiterated their commitment to further liberalisation of trade through multilateral and bilateral agreements in order to reduce the impact of tariff and technical barriers to trade.
The WCTF is a platform open to all ceramic tiles manufacturers in the world. Any producer or association of ceramic tiles producers willing to participate is invited to contact the WCTF secretariat. The next meeting of the WCTF is scheduled in November 2014.

Success through Openness: The Ellen DeGeneres Show Enters 10th Season
August 24, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Eric Cameron, HRC Digital Media Specialist
With Ellen DeGeneres' talk show entering its 10th season in September, The Hollywood Reporter chats with the comedian about the show's enormous success, which few would have predicted after her career-shaking decision to come out in 1997.
Oprah Winfrey, who played Ellen's therapist in the groundbreaking "puppy" episode of her then-sitcom, says Ellen's openness has paved the way for her success:
Being able to be free -- literally -- and to express herself in a way that she can be 100 percent truthful with the audience has allowed them to fall in love with her. Honest-to-God truth: I don't believe she would have been as successful as she has become had she not come out.
Ellen's mom Betty appeared in that episode and has remained an outspoken advocate for the LGBT community ever since. In 1997 she became the first non-gay spokesperson for HRC's National Coming Out Day.

Ane Brun official music video for 'Do You Remember'. 'Do You Remember' is a song performed by Ane Brun. Relatively unknown outside of her native Scandinavia (she was born in Norway and now lives in Sweden), Ane Brun's career has seen her work with the likes of Ron Sexsmith and Nico Muhly, tour and sing backing vocals with Peter Gabriel and organise a climate change awareness gig featuring Benny Andersson from ABBA. 'Do You Remember' is the first single to be taken from her forthcoming fifth album, It All Starts With One, and it's a beguiling concoction of almost tribal drumming, feather-light percussion and Brun's captivating vocals. In the background the soft vocals are supplied by Swedish folk darlings First Aid Kit, bringing dramatic presence while Brun attempts to remember the better moments in a relationship turned sour. The video is the first chapter taken from a short film entitled "ONE" and directed by Brun's partner, Magnus Renfors. Watch the video of Ane performing the title track above and get whisked into a land welcomingly reminiscent of Feist peppered with tribal sounding drums and a bouncy chant compliments of her adorable background singers. In May the 1st will be the US release of Swedish singer Ane Brun album " It All Starts With One". The album has been critically acclaimed in Europe and now its time for America to fall in love with this unique spunky artist. Today I received the first single "Do You Remember" which is a tribal inspired track that lets this artist voice soar.

Adobe Flash CS3 is design software which improves the performance of graphics and web content.
Adobe Flash CS3 is used to create interactive content for websites as well as enrich games whether they are destined for PC, mobile phones or portable devices. The application will help you create your own Flash projects, such as animations, presentations or questionnaires. Besides that, it will enable you to add a high quality touch to your websites and incorporate elements like interactive menus.
This software is part of the Adobe Creative Suite, a package which includes different tools focused on web content. For that reason, you can integrate any application of this family into your Flash project.
What it offers
It has a complete editor which lets the user fully customize projects. For instance, it includes a huge variety of components which you can add to your work, such as text, buttons, figures or lines as well as choose any color in the palette.
Besides that, it comes with filters, effects and layers with which you can add multiple elements to your creation, and place them in order.
This application supports vector graphics, video and sound. Adobe Flash CS3 is based on ActionScript 3.0 language, which lends a high flexibility to developing Flash content.
In addition, this tool comes with the Adobe Flash Video Encoder, a player which allows you to visualize your project once you have finished it.
Other compatible programs
If you are interested in creating interactive content for either a website or any application, we can also recommend some other options. For example, Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 is a web design and programming software which is used to create websites and is integrated with JavaScript.
You can also try Adobe Fireworks CS3, a utility specialized in the creation of vector graphics and offers integration with the rest of Adobe's products.
Adobe Flash CS3 Features
This program includes the following features:
- Impressive integration with other Adobe programs, especially Photoshop and Illustrator
- New Paste dialog box
- Convert any animation created into ActionScript 3.0 with an advanced debugger
- Quite intuitive user interface following Adobe's signature style
- Possibility of importing native Fireworks CS3 files
- Create content for mobile devices thanks to Adobe Device Central
- New drawing tools which stand out are the Pen Tool, Convert Anchor Point Tool, Delete Anchor Point Tool and Add Anchor Point Tool
- New components for ActionScript 3.0
- Advanced QuickTime export system
- New video encoding options
If you want to read more information about this program, you can do it here
If you are interested in adding interactive content and making the most of your Internet experience, download Adobe Flash CS3 and start creating your own projects.
30-day trial
- Professional results
- Integration with Adobe's suite
- Multiple options
- A bit difficult for less experienced users

This is a product of Adobe systems that produce a wide range of great products. It is available for sale but has a trial version that a user can enjoy the features of the product before deciding whether to buy or not. The trial period is usually thirty days which is ample time to totally get familiar with this type of product. This is simply an application that is used to upgrade graphics and website components. Thus with this application a websites functionality and appearance can be improved by adding important features like menus that assist a user to visit a website and navigate through it with ease. It comes in handy in creation of things like presentations. It offers the user with the ability to customize certain aspects like the appearance, which is great. It allows for integration with other adobe programs. Basically this is an improvement of the prior version which is Adobe flash CS2 hence in performance terms it is faster and much better which means greater functions for the user. You need to have some knowledge on how to use this software because it is not just the type of application that you learn to use in an instant moment. Generally it is a good product from adobe systems.
- It is good at customization of appearance.
- it allows for integration with other adobe programs.
- It might be complex for beginners.
Faster Work and More Creativity Options with Integration to Adobe's Creativity Suite
By Pablo Conde Ferrer
On Friday, June 13, 2014
Old-time Flash users will appreciate CS3 and how they can save time using it while they work. Because of its integration that has been improved, it can now seamlessly work alongside other products from Adobe. Layers from Illustrator and Photoshop files can now be imported. Converting and naming a layer each at a time is now a thing of the past. What I find more interesting is that I can now customize the interface in which I work on. It suits my preferences, in short.
Flash now has added tools including the Pen based on the Illustrator tool of the same name, and Shape Primitives which is used to alter shapes. New and added creative options are also featured. The best thing though is that CS3 is way faster compared to its predecessor CS2.
Not everything is smooth sailing though. There are still a few setbacks. I find it hard to zoom in the stage center and control brush strokes.
- Makes work faster with its integration with other products from Adobe
- New and added tools provides more options for creativity
- Too complex to understand for beginners
A Professional and Convenient Vector Tool Software for Designing Web Pages
By Isay Almenanza
On Thursday, June 5, 2014
Flash is one of the most significant media formats that have ever been developed. I think it is the best animation standard on the web. However, Flash has been acquired by Adobe years ago and finally it is now livelier and fully operational under its new company banner. Unlike its prior releases, Flash now offers you numerous enhancements, but also has some meaningless upgrades.
Once I got this program, I immediately explored it, and I found out that the interface of this software is now more customizable. I can now select where to dock my timeline and other panels. However, I do not find its interface intuitive at all particularly if you are new with this program. In this release, I like how Adobe incorporates both Photoshop and Illustrator files.
All in all, Adobe Flash CS3 is the title holder of specialized vector software for web, but making interactive games, videos and web pages in this software is not that easy. However, once you master this program I am sure it will be all worth it.
- It has a modified user interface
- Ability to import Photoshop and Illustrator files
- The interface is not very intuitive

ok I have a 3 gallon carboy full of blackberry wine that taste great its a little dry but its very good its about 7 months old. It has only been transferred 3 times and has just a bit of yeast or sediment in the bottom not much. I want to get it bottled for some aging so any pointers before I bottle it? I dont make wine as good as my beer....yet. I have a corker but no bottles yet how do I prepare the corks and bottles, and should I fill the wine bottles like I do my beer bottles? How far should the wine be from the corks after I push it into the bottle.....Camden tablets before bottleing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Wow- lots of questions in such a short paragraph! Here goes-
Well, if you still have some lees, I'd recommend not bottling yet. Otherwise, you'll have sediment in your bottles. I'd say to rack and if there are no lees in 30-45 days, then you're set to bottle.
I use 1 campden tablet per gallon every other racking, and at bottling. If you haven't yet, I'd say rack and use the dissolved campden and let it sit as above.
Do you want to sweeten a bit? I like my blackberry dry and oaked, but it is a matter of preference. If you want to sweeten, you'd have to rack, sorbate and campden, and wait a week or two. Then, sweeten to taste and bottle.
To prepare the bottles, sanitize like your beer bottles but no need to do anything with the corks. I feel like I "have" to sanitize the corks, so spraying sanitizer on them is what I do. Do NOT boil the corks! As far as how far down they go, you push them all the way in, or just slightly below the lip. I like mine level with the top. My corker took a few practice tries before I got the right depth, so I recommend you practice a couple of times with the same size bottle and cork. You fill the beer bottles and wine bottles the same way- the bottling wand makes the depth correct. Then, leave them upright for 3 days. This allows the cork to fill out the rest of the way after being compressed to go in the bottle. After three days, store on it's side to keep the cork moist.
Did I answer them all? If not, let me know. I've had a few tonight and even though this makes perfect sense to me right now, I might be able to improve if needed!
ok maybe I should rack again and wait 45 days if nothing drops then I will bottle. Thanks for the quick reply! Its probably better aging in bulk right now anyway right? Thanks again
Right- no need to rush to bottle. The longer in the carboy, the better. As long as a wine throws lees it's just not ready. I've gone up to 60 days between rackings and still not bottled. Bulk aging is just fine.

Jay Leno-Chaired Awards Event Pulls Out of Beverly Hills Hotel
Organizers of a women's rights event, co-chaired by Jay Leno and his wife, Mavis, have dropped the Beverly Hills Hotel as the location for its Global Women's Rights Awards gala May 5 due to the hotel's ties to the Sultan of Brunei.
"We cannot hold a human rights and women's rights event at a hotel whose owner would institute a penal code that fundamentally violates women's rights and human rights," said Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation, in a statement.
Instead, a protest of the hotel is planned at noon May 5 across the street from it.
" 'Kill-a-gay' laws, or laws that allow the flogging of women for abortion, violate international law and have no place in civilized society," said Feminist Majority foundation board member Mavis Leno in the statement.
EARLIER: Who In Hollywood Will Boycott the Beverly Hills Hotel?
The Dorchester Collection hotel is owned by the Brunei Investment Agency, which is controlled by the leader of the Southeast Asian nation of Brunei, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. Last October, the sultan had announced plans for a revised penal code which "introduces stoning to death as the specific method of execution for crimes of a sexual nature," a United Nations news release on Apr. 11 stated.
The "enforcement of Sharia law phase one" is set to go into effect May 1, Bolkiah announced Wednesday, according to Agence France-Presse.
The latest round of protests against the Beverly Hills Hotel and other Dorchester Collection properties -- which includes Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles -- were kickstarted earlier this month when an LGBT political advocacy group, the Gill Action Fund, reportedly canceled a conference at the location.
On April 26, a group of about 15 people -- including actress Beth Grant (The Mindy Project) and Jennifer Howell of charity Art of Elysium -- gathered at the Hotel to protest the Sultan of Brunei's ownership.
A Beverly Hills Hotel spokesperson issued a statement to THR at the time. "We continue to abide by the laws of the countries we operate in and do not tolerate any form of discrimination of any kind," the statement read. "The laws that exist in other countries outside of where Dorchester Collection operates do not affect the policies that govern how we run our hotels."
The Global Women's Rights Awards will be held at the Hammer Museum on May 5, with Jay Leno and actress Rosario Dawson set to attend. The Feminist Majority Foundation, which organizes on women's equality issues, also publishes Ms. Magazine.
