Auto troubles, race at root of Detroit collapsetags: AP, Detroit, decline, auto industry, bankruptcy
Blue-collar workers poured into the cavernous auto plants of Detroit for generations, confident that a sturdy back and strong work ethic would bring them a house, a car and economic security. It was a place where the American dream came true.
It came true in cities across the industrial heartland, from Chicago's meatpacking plants to the fire-belching steel mills of Cleveland and Pittsburgh. It came true for decades, as manufacturing brought prosperity to big cities in states around the Great Lakes and those who called them home. Detroit was the affluent capital, a city with its own emblematic musical sound and a storied union movement that drew Democratic presidential candidates to Cadillac Square every four years to kick off campaigns at Labor Day rallies.
The good times would not last forever. As the nation's economy began to shift from the business of making things, that line of work met the force of foreign competition. Good-paying assembly line jobs dried up as factories that made the cars and supplied the steel closed their doors. The survivors of the decline, especially whites, fled the cities to pursue new dreams in the suburbs....

Original photographer's caption, 1933:"Elsie Larson and June Vlasek in playful mood at Malibu. June Vlasek, 18, is graduating from Beverly Hills High School and Miss Larson, until a few weeks ago, was a waitress at the Brown Derby Cafe in Hollywood. Both are Fox film players." This print comes with a pair of cotton gloves, which are ideal for safe handling of the image and will help to maintain the quality of the finish.


text: |Five hours before her Nantucket beach wedding--and on the eve of her big book launch--celebrity marriage counselor Kate Lawrence has everything in place.Everything, that is, but the groom. She might not have a career, either, when her nationwide audience finds out their marriage guru has been left at the altar. Enter Lucas Wright, who offers to stand in for the missing husband-to-be and marry her. Kate's desperate enough to agree--although she's sure this Mr. Wright is completely wrong for her. Can they pull it off? And why would Lucas marry her in the first place? With her life spinning out of control, Kate wonders what good her carefully laid plans are if they only lead to chaos. Could it be that "Dr. Kate" doesn't know the first thing about love? When she seeks God's will instead of her won, Kate finally discovers true and lasting love.

This index is an index into a list of translations, which are updated for each frame to minimise the translation necessary for the closest chunk of the mesh. The verts would again be in their own local coordinate system, but you'd get the benefit of sharing the same vertex between triangles that cross chunk boundaries. You shouldn't end up with any seams or cracks in this case, although there may be a little vertex 'swimming' on chunk boundaries. Of course, there are only a finite number of groups you could support within the mesh using such an approach (you'd be limited by the number of constant registers you can address in your vertex shader.) -- Kind regards, James Milne

Greatest Chicago Bears Player of All Time

The Top Ten
1Walter Payton
He was without doubt the greatest all-around NFL running back of all time. No single player could run, block, receive, or pass as well. Has anyone ever jumped over the line at the goal line like he could?
I am a huge Chicago bears fan! One of my favorite athletes of all time, no one in NFL history will be as great as Walter Payton! Sweetness!
Not only the greatest Bear, but the greatest player to have played the game!
[Newest]Nobody could stop Sweetness. He was so graceful when he ran the ball!
2Gale Sayers
*22 touchdowns as a rookie.
*Two NFL rushing titles in a six-year injury plagued career.
*Two NFL rushing titles in a six-year injury plagued career.
He was so unbeliveably ahead of his time that it was almost a comedy act watching defenders try to stop him.
3Brian Urlacher
He has more tackles than you can count, go's up for the ball like a cornerback, and he does every thing he can to help the team
Very underrated in nfl history
True leader who led by example.
4Dick Butkus
*Killed a player with a single tackle.
*7-time all-pro player.
*Forced 27 in his 8 year career.
*7-time all-pro player.
*Forced 27 in his 8 year career.
dick butkus is football. he is rough and tough. high motor. plays 100 percent all the time.
5Mike Singletary
6Devin Hester
He's only been in the league 2 years and he's already second on all the time returns for touchdowns list. He could also become a dangerous receiver. Look out Canton.
A punt and kick returners job is so important. Even though they don't always have to score, they can set up key drives.
7Lance briggs
8Richard Dent
Come on guys, Dent deserves to be higher! He is one of the best Bears players of all time and MVP when the Bears won the super bowl.
Dent was the MVP when the bears won the Super Bowl! Without a doubt one of the greatest players in Chicago Bears history!

I would catch my old Snake Eyes at least once per round and spin them back leaving a much longer putt as I shoot for the pin. Did not know when it was going to happen and it was very frustrating. These wedges bite and their action is just very, very consistent. You can shot at pins knowing the ball will sit right down. Chips hop, check and then roll out very nicely. Their grind lets them lay flat when opened up so you don't blade them across the green near as easily. Best of all, your buddies notice the action then look at them sitting in the bag and comment on their beauty.
Hi Tom.
Does this wedge have zero-bounce grind heel like the PCF Micro Tour wedge?
Are the material carbon 1020 or 8620? The 2014 catalog says 8620 and this page 1020.
I think this wedge wil match my 575cb's very wel.
Hi Tom,
The grind on these wedges looks to be spot on.
Have you any thoughts regarding using a similar grind, excluding the zero element, to any of the regular iron heads?
Thanks for the answer Tom.
From my point of view with an early release a a little heavy contact it appeared to be a sensible approach.
Other companies out there have already started to market this as an improvement to the head design of their clubs.
When I asked the question I was actually expecting you to explain that the design on full irons would indeed be marketing over substance.
As usual you did not fail to impress with your honesty and speed in reply.
Thanks again Tom
Do the new Micro Groove HM wedges have the same roughness between the grooves as the PCF Micro Tour? I can see from the pictures that they go parallel to the grooves instead of circular like the PCF's but is it with the same roughness that is VERY noticeable when you rub your fingertips across the club face, the roughness that can make range balls check up on my chipping green!
Tom,I plan on using the S2S White R-Flex with the 56 and 60 Deg at approx 35-1/2″ length,50gm grip. I believe that I will need approx 310 to 315gm head weight to achieve ~D4 swingweight. Is it possible to order hand pick 56 and 60 deg HM heads this heavy? Can't wait to have those beautiful wedges in my bag. Thank you.
Tom, Thank you very much for your reply.

Hi! My name is Philip, I'm 28 years old from Cologne, Germany.
I already made some experience with AirBnB being a guest and it was always very positive. Now that I moved in to my cool new apartment, I'd like to give back some of that positive experience to others, while they help me finance my next trip :)
I am reliable and easy to get along with. If you like I'll give you good advice about the city and/or show you around, but if you prefer staying by yourself that's just as fine. Looking forward to meeting you!

Suburban entertaining
Does entertaining in the suburbs base itself upon children's birthday parties, graduation parties, and weddings?
We live in a semi-rural area but get invited to parties in the suburbs that are adult parties. There is a big concentration of families with children in suburban developments so naturallly, there are a lot of children's events, just by the sheer volume of kids.
We go to two or three cookouts each summer. We also meet at twilight at the community pool for drinks and socialization.
We also go to our share of children's birthday parties, and I enjoy the time to really get to know the other parents.
Don't go to too many graduation parties (can't think of even one), and haven't been to a wedding in ages.
Suburbanites have dinner parties/cocktail parties/brunches and luncheons that do not necessarily involve a child's birthday party or other "event" mentioned. I have been to wine dinners, formal dinners, high teas and lavish cocktail parties and some pretty cool costume parties. And I have also been to many many birthday parties, graduation parties and anniversary parties too. And been to LOTS of BBQ's too.
I don't like kids, so no, I don't go to children-oriented activities. Since I don't have kids, it's easy for me to avoid those kinds of gatherings. I'm kind of an abberation in my neighborhood and don't associate much with any one around here any more. We used to have neighbors with very similar interests and no kids and we did stuff together a lot- cook out, jump in their hot tub, sit around the chimnea and just chat. But they moved. So now we hang around people I work with, who are also suburbanites but in a different town. Most of them are also childless or can leave the kids behind. DH and I are known well enough that we don't get invited to children's BD parties. And none of our friends have any kids old enough to graduate anything but kindergarten yet. So, I guess the answer depends upon the lifestyle of who you ask.
Entertaining in the suburbs is no different then entertaining in the city. The type of entertaining you do depends on what you like and the people that you associate with. I have lived downtown in major cities as well as out in the suburbs and the way that I like to entertain was the same regardless of the location.
I would imagine that because more people in the suburbs have kids than city people, suburban get-togethers would almost always involve kids. One can assume that even at events like cocktail parties or dinner parties where kids don't belong, you'd find them there anyway. That's why I try to stay in the city since I don't care too much for children either.
I think it's a function of age. For younger families with small children, there may be more of an emphasis on the children and entertaining around them.
For couples like DH and I, who have no children living at home, we tend to socialize with folks around our age who have teens, young adult, or grown children, simply because those are the folks we tend to meet and with whom we have more in common with.
For those friends that have small children, we usually socialize without the children, although there are times that we plan a dinner, cookout, or evening out with the kids.

Day 78 - Paris
... 2009, a Russian woman, distraught over being denied French citizenship, threw a terra cotta mug or teacup, purchased at the museum, at the painting in the Louvre; the vessel shattered against the glass enclosure. In both cases, the painting was undamaged. There was one painting in the program that looked interesting so we explored through the French collection and found his painting of two sisters m, one pinching the others nipple haha. We left the louvre and walked through ...
Chateau Versailles
... gardens, follies, trees, paths,etc. our legs hurt and we hadn't made it off the courtyard yet. Then we spotted the mini train. Hell ya. It bounced us over the cobblestone and down into the park. We ended up at Marie Antoinette's estate which is where we wanted to go. Quiet and charming. We looked through the buildings and then headed out to see her gardens. Sat by a pond and ate the picnic lunch we so wisely ...
Last day in Paris
... surreptitiously snapped away with their phones and cameras. Really I wanted to too but only snuck a couple of the interior. At least it avoided scenes like yesterday as you can see in the photo, of people photographing the Mona Lisa. A major disappointment for me was that Degas' pastels of dancers were not on show. A few of his oils were but they are not the same. Last time I remember they were in rooms of their own under reduced lighting. Perhaps they just ...
Gaining perspective
So far on this journey I've learned that it's alright not to be happy 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Sometimes you need those moments of sadness and breakdown in order to let go of or realize whatever is hurting you. I've also realized that we are in charge of our own destiny and have the ability to let bliss be our guide at any given moment. We do not have to keep choosing pain. And we do not have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Also, we do not have ...
The long way to Monet
... the afternoon at another attraction. That was not to be. In what could only be described as a very serendipitous moment we bought tickets to Rouen gare rout. Not quite the right track. By the time we got to Evreux, we were kindly told by a conductor that we were indeed on the wrong line. He must have taken pity on us because he went to great lengths to explain that we needed to take the train back to Mantes la jolie, where we would get on the right train on the right ...

text: Elise Thatcher Mountain Edition - January 1st, 2015 By Marci Krivonen & Elise Thatcher • Jan 1, 2015 Good afternoon and Happy New Year. Welcome to Mountain Edition. The City of Aspen is looking ahead to a warmer future and planning around a changed climate. An Aspen non-profit is introducing children to the science behind our winter landscape. And as the snow flies, extensive snow removal operations are underway at the Aspen airport. It's one of the busiest times of the year at Aspen restaurants. We'll take you to one that's working to keep up. Mountain Edition - December 18th, 2014 By Elise Thatcher & Marci Krivonen • Dec 18, 2014 Good afternoon and welcome to Mountain Edition. Schools in the Roaring Fork Valley get graded- some of the best and the worst in the state are here. Basalt has its first menorah lighting to celebrate the beginning of Hanukkah. Aspen's new Airport Director takes the helm as County Commissioners decide how to widen the airfield. New owners at Krabloonik aim for a kinder, friendlier era and they are receiving a "thumbs up", so far, from a group whose aim is to make sure the sled dogs are well cared for. Mountain Edition - December 11th, 2014 By Marci Krivonen & Elise Thatcher • Dec 11, 2014 Good afternoon and welcome to Mountain Edition. Conservation groups are cheering an oil and gas plan that closes much of the Thompson Divide to future drilling. Controversial changes like square footage and building height could be left out of new regulations for lodges in Aspen. And, food scraps are being composted at some high-end Aspen hotels. A statewide water plan is unveiled in Denver. And, the state capitol is getting a major upgrade. Leaving Trash Out for Glenwood Bears Could Get Expensive By Elise Thatcher • Dec 4, 2014 Glenwood Springs Police Department If you live in Glenwood Springs, and bear gets into your trash, the police will give you a warning. If it happens again, even a few times, you might get a small fine. But that could change after recommendations from the city's Police Department. Officials are considering cracking down on people letting bears eat their garbage. The move comes after an unusually high amount of bear and trash problems in the last year. APR's Elise Thatcher talks with Chief Terry Wilson. Carbondale Fire, Ambulance District on Borrowed Time By Elise Thatcher • Nov 24, 2014 The Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District is losing $600,000 a year from its savings account—and the District could run out completely by the end of 2016. That's a dire situation for the service, whose firefighters put out blazes and respond to medical calls for a huge area. Now the Board of Directors is reviewing next year's $2.6 million dollar budget. APR's Elise Thatcher talks with Chief Ron Leach about cuts and the upcoming master plan. Mountain Edition - November 13th, 2014 By Elise Thatcher & Rob St. Mary • Nov 13, 2014 Good afternoon and welcome to Mountain Edition. Wintry weather descends on the Roaring Fork Valley this week closing Independence Pass and prompting locals to break out their cold weather gear. Two Roaring Fork Valley residents are renamed to the U.S. Ski Team. Aspen holds its annual Veterans Day service. The Forest Service highlights crowds over-loving backcountry spots, big employers move forward with a plan to make their workers healthier, and politicians in Denver put their ducks in a row after a surprising election. Seniors Gather for Record Health Fair By Elise Thatcher • Nov 12, 2014 Getting your blood checked can mean making an appointment, getting to a doctor's office, and fees. But for older folks in Pitkin County, regular senior health fairs make it much easier. They're part of a wider variety of fairs put on by Aspen Valley Hospital, which hosted one on a recent Friday. Employer Collaboration Could Improve Mental Health Access By Elise Thatcher • Nov 12, 2014 Five employers efforts to improve health care and lower insurance costs is shifting into high gear. The group, known as the Valley Health Alliance, has a new Director and was part of a forum yesterday. Details on what the Alliance may try in the next year were discussed-- and mental health will be at the top of the list. Clapper Wins Commissioner's Race, Butler New Snowmass Mayor By Marci Krivonen • Nov 5, 2014 Marci Krivonen The only contested Pitkin County race turned out to be a win for Democrat Patti Clapper. Clapper will return to the Board of County Commissioners for another four years. She earned more votes than incumbent Rob Ittner. Aspen Public Radio's Marci Krivonen has results on that race and the Town of Snowmass Village election. Hickenlooper Expected To Win, Valley Approves Raising Taxes & Rehires Local Representatives By Elise Thatcher • Nov 5, 2014 Elise Thatcher The results are not final for Colorado's governor's race, but experts say Governor John Hickenlooper likely will be re-elected. In the Roaring Fork Valley, delays and glitches made for late night vote counting for Pitkin County election workers. As of this morning, results indicate Democrat Patti Clapper has won the race for Pitkin County Commissioner District 1. It's not clear yet who has won a state senate race. For Senate District 5, at last count Democrat Kerry Donovan has a one percent lead over Republican Don Suppes. Pages« first ‹ previous … 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 … next › last »

WASHINGTON--This year may well mark a historic Supreme Court Term, as the Justices face a host of high profile issues, including the first wave of post-9/11 litigation, campaign finance, cybercensorship, affirmative action and gay rights. Some of these cases are already on the docket; others are quickly working their way toward the Court.
Of the various post-9/11 cases, two challenging the government's policy of secret deportation hearings are furthest along in the pipeline, and the ACLU is involved in both. On August 26th, the Sixth Circuit declared the challenged policy unconstitutional in Detroit Free Press v. Ashcroft. On September 17th, the same issue was argued before the Third Circuit in North Jersey Media Group v. Ashcroft. If the Third Circuit agrees with the Sixth Circuit, the government is likely to petition for certiorari. If it disagrees, there will be a clear circuit split.
The chances are also good that the always controversial issue of campaign finance will reach the Court later this Term. In McConnell v. FEC, a broad coalition of groups, including the ACLU, has challenged the constitutionality of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act enacted by Congress last spring. The case is being heard on an expedited basis by a special three-judge court in the District of Columbia, which has scheduled argument for December 4th. Its decision can then be appealed directly to the Supreme Court, which will be asked to resolve, among other things, whether Congress violated the First Amendment when it prohibited organizations like the ACLU from broadcasting ads on issues of political significance if those ads mention a candidate within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary.
The McConnell appeal is almost certain to produce the Court's most comprehensive review of campaign finance regulation since its 1973 landmark decision in Buckley v. Valeo. For that reason, the Court might be tempted to consolidate McConnell with Landell v. Sorrell, assuming the timing works out. In Landell, another ACLU case, a Second Circuit panel recently upheld Vermont's campaign expenditure limits in direct opposition to one of the core holdings in Buckley. A petition for rehearing en banc is now before the Second Circuit.
Given past practice, it would be surprising if the Court did not accept the government's appeal in United States v. American Library Association, 02-361, just as it has done when prior congressional efforts to censor the Internet were declared unconstitutional by the lower courts. This time, a three-judge court in Philadelphia ruled that libraries could not be required to install Internet filters as a condition of federal funding. The ACLU is co-counsel in that case.
In addition, the ACLU is co-counsel in a closely watched battle over the use of affirmative action at the University of Michigan. Thus far, the Sixth Circuit has upheld the University's admission policies at the law school; a challenge to similar policies at the undergraduate level is still pending. Opponents of affirmative action have asked the Supreme Court to review the law school ruling, Grutter v. Bollinger, 02-241, and to bypass the Sixth Circuit in the undergraduate case, Gratz v. Bollinger. More broadly, they are seeking to overturn the principle so forcefully articulated by Justice Powell in Bakke that public universities have a compelling state interest in promoting their educational mission through a diverse student body.
Finally, in Lawrence v. Texas, 02-102, the Court has been asked to revisit the constitutionality of consensual sodomy laws targeted at gays and lesbians. The ACLU was counsel in Bowers v. Hardwick and has supported this effort to reject that legal low point in modern gay rights history.
If accepted for review, these cases will join several other direct ACLU cases on the Court's docket this Term. On November 5th, the Court will hear argument on the constitutionality of California's "three-strikes" law in Lockyer v. Andrade, 01-1127. The defendant in Andrade was sentenced to life imprisonment under the "three-strikes" law following a conviction for shoplifting. Andrade will be argued in tandem with Ewing v. California, 01-6978, which raises similar issues but on direct appeal rather than habeas corpus.
On November 13th, the Court will hear argument in two cases testing the limits of the legislative response to sex offenders, an issue that has appeared almost annually on the Court's recent docket. The question in Connecticut Department of Public Safety v. Doe, 01-1231, an ACLU case, is whether the state is under any obligation to distinguish between individuals who pose a future threat of dangerousness and those who do not before it indiscriminately posts their names and pictures on an Internet site intended to alert local communities to potential predators in their midst. In Smith v. Doe, 01-729, where the ACLU has filed an amicus brief, the question is whether the registration and notification requirements of Alaska's broadly written sex offender statute violate the Ex Post Facto Clause.
In Demore v. Kim, 01-1491, to be argued in January, the ACLU will defend the consensus view of the lower courts that Congress violated due process when it insisted, as one of the 1996 changes in the immigration law, that aliens subject to deportation based on certain past convictions must be detained regardless of their individual circumstances pending the final outcome of their deportation hearings. And, in Virginia v. Black, 01-1107, the Court will consider the constitutionality of a cross-burning statute that was struck down by the state supreme court. The statute effectively bans every act of cross-burning by presuming that it was done with an intent to intimidate, even if it occurred in the midst of a political rally.
Other cases on the Court's early docket that bear watching are:

ISA's products and services are organized by technical topic – a selection of technologies, trends, and areas of focus that are relevant to your on-the-job performance:
Sarla Technologies, an ISO 9001:2008 and CSIA-certified engineering process automation company headquartered in Navi Mumbai, India, successfully completed a project in the metals and mining industry with one of the most renown multinational brands in India.
The project was recently undertaken to use the SAP MII platform for manufacturing integration and intelligence for a leading metals manufacturer. The manufacturer is the largest nonferrous metals and mining company in India with manufacturing plants located in Tuticorin and Silvassa, India, producing copper. The task was to connect their business operations to the factory floor in real time, interfacing with existing enterprise resource planning and other factory-floor applications while delivering "intelligence" to production personnel using a single ISA 95-compliant layer. The project scope was very broad. Integration was required with several systems, including distributed control systems (DCSs), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, programmable logic controllers, energy monitoring systems, as well as with material management (MM) and plant maintenance (PM) systems. There is now an effective dissemination of plant information across the locations to the corporate level using web services. The entire project was successfully completed within the stipulated time schedule.
Expertise and quality certification from the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) was pivotal for Sarla Technologies to meet the required business standards for developing the processes and to integrate and manage the project. The company is one of the fastest growing private sector companies in India. The goal of the project was to build a knowledge- and process-driven organization through Trusted Platform Module, leveraging technology to its full potential across the business cycle for all plants.
There were several challenges, starting with a lack of visibility of real-time and historical trends of production and asset parameters across the plant. All the critical plant parameter data were scattered, but needed to be centralized for better decision making. It took a huge manual effort to capture the process parameters and maintenance parameters to accomplish this, so it was seldom done. This lack of information for the production personnel resulted in poor, uninformed decision making. The integration required a number of systems to interface, including various makes of plant-floor systems, Proficy Historian 4.0, PCo 2.1, SAP MII 12.1, and SAP ECC 6.
The organization integrated the new software with systems in manufacturing execution system layers, including DCS, SCADA, PLCs, energy monitoring systems, and MM and PM systems. There is now effective dissemination of plant information across the locations to the corporate level using web services.
The system has delivered a wide range of benefits that improve productivity and efficiency. Better utilization and optimization of manpower have been possible due to the automation of various activities, such as utilities consumption, booking, and reports (e.g., the daily production report). Alert mechanisms delivered via email and mobile devices provide information for quick corrective action in case of plant stoppage or when the production rate falls below the set limits. Using predictive maintenance management, including interfacing to a plantwide condition-based monitoring system, has improved preventative maintenance and plant availability by avoiding unplanned shutdowns. Faster and better decision making using role-based dashboards for all to visualize key plant productivity indicators (both current and historical values) enables fast and precise decision making, thereby averting production losses. Energy utilization has improved, because an energy management system is linked with the software. It helps to monitor the energy consumption of critical equipment with trend analysis and allows workers to take corrective action at any point.

The results, set for publication in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature, grew out of an attempt to explain two different areas within Europa's "chaos terrain" – a landscape of jumbled surface features visible in images from the Voyager and Galileo spacecraft.
The two areas that have puzzled scientists cover significant large patches of the moon's surface and host icebergs with ground-up ices filling the channels in between – much as jumbled ice chunks fill gaps between icebergs as they calve from ice shelves in polar regions on Earth.
One of the two areas appeared as a depression in the surface. The other appeared as a dome.
"Why are these two features so similar but so different?" says Britney Schmidt, a planetary scientist at the University of Texas at Austin who led the research team.
In trying to solve the puzzle, the team was struck by parallels on Earth. Similar features are apparent in ice that forms above under-ice volcanoes, as well as at ice shelves where warm sea water is thought to be thinning the ice from underneath.
The team suggests that plumes of warmer water, heated by Europa's core, migrate up through the thick icy crust until they reach a "sweet spot" where a combination of pressure, temperature, and the composition of the ices allows a subsurface lake to form. Since liquid water takes up less volume than water ice, the icy lid on top of the lake begins to crack and collapse in a kind of frigid sink hole. The surface ice breaks into chunks in the process. As it does, some of it overturns, mixing the potential nutrients into the water below.
That explains the depressions. But what about the domes?
Over time, the lake refreezes and expands. This pushes remaining large ice blocks upward. The brine surrounding the blocks also refreezes, expanding as it does, adding to the dome.
One of the features, Thera Macula, is a depression, suggesting that a Great Lakes-scale body of water some two miles below currently is sculpting the surface, the team says. A dome feature, known as Conamara Chaos, represents the end of another lake's thaw-freeze process.

... Italian cannoli, before heading towards the Twin Towers Memorial. With hundreds of other people we walked around the two 'fountains' built in the ground (where the towers were) with nearly 3,000 names engraved around them. Due to the crowds we were unwilling to wait in line for hours to get into the museum, so we bought tickets for tomorrow afternoon (to skip the line), and moved onto Wall Street and then the Staten Island Ferry.

I had been told by others who had experienced long flights abroad that it would go by quickly. Thanks to plenty of movies at my disposal and my love for sleeping, they were right. Four movies, five naps, and two hot meals later we were ready to descend. Here I was, touching down on the motherland, Bharat Mata herself.

The epic baggage debacle.

Amazing gallery! glad I came accross it :-D

ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 2009
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 2009: Spy Site Blocking Protection against new malware infestations starts with spy site blocking. ZoneAlarm prevents access to known malware sites by any program, be it your browser or the malware program itself trying to phone home.
22 / 46
Bottom Line
ZoneAlarm is strong on defense. It has a tough firewall and keeps malware totally out of a clean system, but it's less effective in cleaning up entrenched malware, and some of its features are antiquated. ZoneAlarm is still a fine choice, but I had hoped for a makeover that would be more than skin deep.

What the "Blurred Lines" lawyer taught all artists
Featuring exotic, highly figured Mexican Snake Wood back and sides, this guitar is a beauty!
John Page Classic, a new guitar brand, announces the Ashburn, its initial production model.
He played lead guitar on the Eagles' biggest hits and has just released the solo album Road to Forever. But what Guitar World readers really want to know is…
While they were at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, the Eagles premiered a new film, History of the Eagles: Part One. It's an authorized, feature-length documentary that provides an intimate look into the history of the group and the legacy of their music.
Former Eagles guitarist Don Felder recently released his first solo album in nearly three decades, Road to Forever.
Recently, legendary guitarist Don Felder stopped by Guitar World HQ to show off some licks from his new solo album, Road to Forever, as well as demonstrate some classic Eagles riffs.
The Eagles' 1976 mega-hit single "Hotel California" turns up — time and time again — on lists of "best guitar solos of all time." In fact, it earned the No. 8 spot on Guitar World's often-quoted list of the 100 greatest guitar solos.

"Very nice stay - great rooms"
This hotel is very nice. The room was large, and there was a full kitchen and full bathroom. All at a very reasonable price. Furnishings are nice and classic. High ceilings, tall windows. The only issue might be some slight noise of people walking about around midnight and then after 4:30 in the morning - from trash collectors down the other streets. […] If you are a very light sleeper this may cause issues, but otherwise, everyone else will be fine. We had a window open in the kitchen which brought in any noise, but neither of us were bothered by it to not be able to sleep. Windows closed, there would be no problem. We were very happy with this stay and wish that we had reserved it for the previous days we were in Madrid. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Well-located but NOISY at NIGHT."
This was a very well located apartment style hotel, with a generously sized corner room, king bed, small kitchen and small bathroom. Unfortunately, the room was incredibly noisy at night -- and the windows and shutters did not prevent the street noise late into the evening from coming through into the room. From 11pm onward, constant noise coming from […] somewhere within the building (an ongoing moving of furniture sound) plus the noise from drunk people at the pub outside the window made it almost impossible to sleep. We wouldn't recommend this hotel for this reason, which is a shame, because it was a nice room and good location. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"A great place to stay in Madrid"
Nicely furnished suites with complete kitchen facilities and friendly helpful staff. None of the staff we met were fluent in English but Spanglish worked well, usually. On a quiet side street. Great bakery next door and lots of restaurants and shopping 1/2 block away. Nearest big grocery stores are only a 10 minute walk away but worth the hike. Close […] to various bus stops and the Gran Via metro stop for those traveling lightly. If you have bulky luggage, a taxi would be easier. We have been recommending this hotel to friends who plan to visit Madrid and will use it again ourselves if it is available. Other features we appreciated were good security, a spacious elevator by European standards and good quality cable TV with both financial and news channels in English.

"Top-end comfort and an amazing value"
This is a luxurious suite hotel--Hermes toiletries, fresh flowers in the room, nightly turn-down service. Our roomy suite (standard room) had a large bedroom, kitchen with dining area, separate walk-in closet/dressing room, and bath. The wifi internet service was fast, secure, and free and they offer a light continental breakfast. The kitchen was well […] equipped and even had a small washing machine and full-size fridge. The hotel welcomes families and has set aside one suite as a playroom for kids with toys and games. Evening crowds are large in this area but it is quite safe and there was no noise in the room overnight from passers-by on the street. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Fantastic Hotel!"
Fantastic hotel in a quiet alley in the business section of Madrid. Awesome service and the front desk, esp Fernando was fantastic!.. The suite was really nice and we had everything we wanted.. They knew we were coming with a 1 yo, and had a crib, toys etc for the baby in the suite.. awesome service overall!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Nice hotel operators"
Great location- walkable to all sorts of old Madrid sites- didn't need to do the Hop on hop off bus tour because we were able to walk so much of it. The apt was lovely, well decorated, had tons of amenities ( beds too hard for all of us,tho). Small continental BF offered in small lobby to grab n go:) Folks there (English fluent) VERY kind and accommodating. […] Only reservation is the area- not a fan of this active, lively area filled with the full gambit of humanity! Tons of graffiti everywhere- didn't really feel so secure until we got on main streets (just two blks away) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Superb choice in Chueca"
This apartment is a gem in the most fun neighborhood of Madrid. The staff are very helpful and keeps everything immaculate. We had a very comfortable one bedroom apartment for the three of us.

I'll […] definitely stay again if I revisit Madrid. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent staff, clean rooms, good location"
Excellent. Highly recommended. Well furnished kitchen, effective AC. A perfect accommodation for family of three.Genuine Expedia guest review
This property was beautiful. We are a family of four, and got a two bedroom apartment, which had a living room, full kitchen and tiny, private courtyard off the kitchen. They had some items stocked, such as water, beer, and wine, and the prices were very reasonable, like $12/bottle of wine. The location was amazing. We walked around the block and there […] were restaurants and bars, where you could eat and enjoy yourself, which in a weekday stayed open until 2am. It was also walking distance to the palace other great sites. Madrid is just a beautiful city, and this property was priced well, very clean, spacious, comfortable and in a location that couldn't be beat. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

"Great 2 BR place for Families in Center of Madrid"
We loved this place. It is like having your own 2 BR in Madrid. The one street the hotel is off is a bit shady with some trannys and a gay bar the street to the right is one of the best shopping streets. So just be careful which one you go down at nights. Right on the side street is a great littel breakfast place. You can walk to anywhere in Madrid […] (within reason) from the hotel. We absolutely LOVED it and coming home to a cool and clean, spacious place after walking miles in the heat was great. They have a little snack area in the lobby which the kids loved to grab an apple or muffin here or there. Felt safe with someone at the front desk 24 hours. Really loved this place Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great family and/or extended stay option"
Great location, clean and comfortable rooms, quiet.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent property in a fun part of the city."
We reserved a 2 bedroom suite, which was essentially the size of an apartment, with a kitchen. The king-size beds were cozy, and the living room was very spacious. The tiny balcony was also very enjoyable. The location is great, just a block off Gran Via (tons of shopping). Its also located right across the street from a convenient store and a fabulous […] little pasta / pizza shop. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Apartment hotel in the middle of city"
It was the best apartment we had in our whole stay in Spain. Management was very efficient and the apartment was well provided. they had a very well appointed kitchen. The bedrooms were rather small but the furnishings were excellent and the living room was beautifully appointed in crushed velvet couch and dining chairs. My only complaint would be the […] cup size in the kitchen. They had very very big soup cups or tiny coffee cups. The place was very well priced and the location was really nice right in the middle of Grand Via and close to Sol as well as 5 minutes walk to Opera and Royal palace Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Wonderful place to stay"
Very close to Gran Via metro station, and easy to walk everywhere. Splendom has a helpful on-site staffGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel for a family of 4!"
When we walked into our 2 bedroom with 1.5 bath suite, my family couldn't have been more excited. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The kitchen was great and had a washing machine! We were in a great location, walking distance to Plaza Mayor and surrounding areas. Being in Europe, rooms can be small, this was an exception. The suite […] was clean. Coffee and snacks in the lobby and the kids room with foosball and pool table were a bonus. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent and super clean"
Room size very good, super clean, staff very helpfull. Highly recomended.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Awesome for families"
Extremely family friendly. Staff went out of their way to give us high chairs, cribs, step stools, and even a little baby potty. There is also a play room filled with toys on the first floor. Never been to a place that made children feel so welcome.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel, very clean, feels like your own home,"
We stayed on 1st floor, we thought it will be very noisy at night time but to our surprise it was very quite.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great place, great staff"
The Splemdom is excellent. It's located in the heart of Madrid but on a quite side street. We walked to many of the key attractions. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was much better than we expected. We'd stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel Perfectly Situated in Chueca"
We first found this hotel via the Hotel Tonight app. It was a great deal, it was very highly rated and in the middle of Chueca, Madrid's gayborhood. We arrived and were very pleasantly surprised at the level of service, the clean, modern appointments, and thoughtful design of the hotel. The lobby is sized perfectly, it has snacks and juices. The gentleman […] at the front desk quickly checked us in and took us to our room and showed us around. The one-bedroom was great: large, comfy bedroom with a king sized bed, nice living room with a balcony, very nice bathroom, and a well-appointed kitchen. Best of all the water pressure in the shower was awesome! I would easily recommend this hotel to anyone that wants to be centrally located to the Gran Via, to walk everywhere and discover Madrid the right way. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice location"
Nice location and friendly staff. The rooms have a small kitchen with a washer and an extra bed so there is a lot packed into a small space. Easy walk on pedestrian streets to the main parts of Madrid.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Two ladies on a weekend away. First time in Madrid for both. We really enjoyed it especially as all the Christmas lights were on. They were amazing. Lucky with the weather.

"An excellent apart-hotel in centre of Madrid"
The location of the apart-hotel was perfect. Despite its central position it is quiet and within walking distance of the major sights and museums. It is also only a few minutes walk to a very good supermarket near the Puerta del Sol. Our two bedroom apartment was extremely spacious, well equipped and beautifully maintained. The staff were always friendly […] and helpful and we unfortunately had to accept the loan of an umbrella! I would highly recommend a city break at the Splendom Suites Gran Via.

"Lovely little hotel"
The staff at this hotel were what made it special, they went out of their way to help us. The fresh flowers, crisp white linen and attention to detail were amazing. They had a separate kid's play room and provided us with a high chair, bowls for our daughter etc. We were within walking distance to plaza del sol and there was a lovely little bakery next […] door. We also could walk down to the grocery store and made breakfast in our suite a couple of days that week, it was lovely. The only negative comment would be considering the neighborhood at night as there are some bars nearby and it can get pretty loud outside on the weekends. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel is nice. Friendly front desk staff."
Not sure if I like the location of the hotel however once inside, the hotel is nice enough. Easy access to most attractions but hotel is on a side road that is not very well litGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice apartment in city centre."
Enjoyed a week in this apartment -- comfortable and nicely set up with reliable wifi in room. Enjoyed many restaurants within walking distance, lots of opportunity for shopping (whether you are looking for chain stores or high end designers), and walking distance to several metro stations enabled me to get to everywhere I needed to go in the city. I […] found the walls between apartments are pretty thin so it could be noisy, although I only noticed this during the evenings/night and was entirely dependent on how noisy the neighbours were. There was also quite a bit of noise drifting up from the next street as people were walking to and from the city centre at night, especially on weekend nights. So it wasn't entirely quiet and peaceful, but being so close to all the amenities in such a comfortable apartment made the noise level worth it. If you are looking for peace and quiet, the city centre is probably not where you want to be. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Excellent in every way"
Excellent location, friendly and helpful service, and great accommodation. This is a modern and well-kept facility.

The best hotel I have ever been in so far! Really good service. Clean and spacious room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Lovely hotel - great price and self catering was a bonus. To have a coffee whenever and eat healthily and cheaply with supplies from a very nearby supermarket . Would be great if you have kids. It would be good if they charged less for parking 20 euros per 24 hours is pretty steep when the room was 120 euros per night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Does anyone know about growing Poppies?
Which Annual poppies do best, how are they sown and which varieties are best for the Northeast?
I have grown California Poppies (shades or peach and orange) and Shirley Poppies (red, pink, and white shades). They are very easy and very beautiful for the short time they last here in the South. They might very well do better where you live. We sow them in the fall here, but I would expect you'd sow them in very early spring as far north as you are. If they are happy, they'll self sow from year to year.
I have grown the same here plus some other annual types here in roughly the same zone. They are indeed very easy. I sow directly in March when the garden beds seem just somewhat recovering from the winter and rake them in a bit. In my experience the orange California poppies are the most robust (the other colors which are typically more expensive never do as well). I have grown many different Shirley Poppies and they all do well until they poop out later in July. They reseed here a bit but not enough to keep me from buying more seeds every year. I have tried treating them like wildflowers and scattering seeds in the wilder areas of my old mostly wild yard. This was not successful. They do seem to need tilled soil here and some looking after.
I'm just north of Jackie in NH, and I also direct-sow them in March. If there's snow, they simply get broadcast over the snow. If no snow, a VERY slight raking into the soil so they aren't rolling all over the (possibly still frozen or hard) soil.
I sow many MANY styles of poppies, and never have issues with them either reseeding or having plenty of seed for next season. I did make the 'investment' first year with a gal over on eBay who had myriads of poppy styles for sale (seeds)...lemme see if I can find her username over there. I probably spent $50 for all the individual varieties I bought from her, but the service was excellent, and I had no problems with any of them.
Here she is: onestoppoppyshop She has a 100% rating, and is a good seller.
I have found Wildseed Farms to be a good economical source for annual poppy seeds. I have grown poppies many different ways - indoors, winter sown, direct sow, sowing direct later in May or even June but have found that they do best when sown direct very early.
