UI developers interested in UI design patterns generally face major problems when trying to use them, because of the complexity of pattern libraries and the lack of supporting tools. As a consequence, UI design patterns are not widely used and this entails an important loss of productivity and quality. In this study, we identified and wrote 30 UI patterns that were made available in a library, and we compared four modes of presentation for them: pattern thumbnails, application types, decision trees, and alphabetical mode. Ten subjects participated in the study. User satisfaction was higher with the three new modes than with the alphabetical mode. Search time was higher with the three new modes than with the alphabetical mode. Although difficult to evaluate, pattern relevance was better with the three new modes. Those findings were turned into recommendations for immediate applications. In the conclusion, we propose some research avenues for the future.

'98 Mercury Villager power loss
Linda_IAJanuary 16, 2010
We have a 98 mercury villager 3.0 that had a loss of power for a few seconds then went back to normal. Timing belt and plugs changed 2,000 miles back. What could cause loss of power for short period of time? The engine light has never come on.
Just wondering, has it displayed this symptom again since you first posted? There are really too many possibilities to attempt a guess on what happened. Guesses are a bad thing because it leads to people running out and buying things that all too often don't help solve the problem you are having with the car.

Poetics and Poetry Discussion
Lamont Palmer
Post reply
| Read 1 reply
I am neither a simpleton or an idiot or a blowhard. I've reacted just the same as anyone else, if they were under mindless sniping day in and day out. The balanced, mature thing to do is ignore the troublemakers, but my own fighting spirit won't let me do that. I admire Danny who can take barely disguised insults and shrug them off with a smile and a quip; I can't do that, and neither can most others here.
You know, this time last year, a number of the old regs decided to come back and have some fun in the forum for old time's sake. Tributes to Herbert and Michael abounded and everyone seemed happy to be back. That didn't last long. As soon as the poetry began to be posted, the bickering began; a little snappish at first, then the rolling out of the big guns. It's sad that we can't get together, discuss poetry, without all the viciousness, the namecalling, the personal attacks. It says such terrible things about who we are. I still contend that at a dinner party, none of this ugliness would happen. For almost a year, I've being attacked anonymously because someone 'perceives' me as 'lacking humility'. Well that's nothing less than a highly personal, and wildly subjective assessment. It doesn't belong on the forum. JC and I aren't crazy about each other's poetry, but we don't try to smash the other into the ground every time we encounter each other. We maintain a certain professional courtesy…even though JC descends into puerile namecalling, which rankles me, but we bicker a bit, then its over. We go on to have pleasant exchanges at other times. When things began to happen for me on the poetry front back in 2010, I felt that I had gotten all I could out of PH and I left the forum for a couple years and had even stopped posting poems. Once you're published, posting loses its thrill. I was coaxed back here last year, but I think I'm going to take a powder again for awhile. The childish, ugly behavior most certainly is tiring; the constant fighting and bickering is a huge drag. Basically its like arguing with a mental patient. And, in reality, it has nothing to do with poetry. So I'm gone too for awhile; back to full focus on Po-Biz, and clinging to my mailbox, awaiting acceptance letters, the poet's food. The asinine aliases, and people who obviously don't have a decent life can have the forum. It's pretty much been a hopeless hole of a place for at least 4 years now. I know how to reach the people who I have connections with and they know how to reach me. -LPReplies for this message:

Acker, if you're Bluebird I want you to tell me right this instant, young man! I always liked Bluebird.
She thought I was stalking her (I wasn't) , but I still liked her. She was smart, funny, and not a bad poet. She was " The Literal Poet" for goodness' sake. One of my all time favorites. Not to mention she was a REAL firecracker. HOT! I never could decide between Sherrie or Bluebird. It was like choosing between your really cute high school teacher or Jane Mansfield the bombshell. I decided I'd keep both. :)

I have to go back to Monty the Mule. What I was saying was that your level of writing is no higher than mine. This friend is going through some of your other " poems" . It is not personal. It is about my instinct that your writing is strangely very bad for 40 years + of writing.
OK, 'Acker', it appears you have thrown down the proverbial gauntlet. You bluntly stated you think you're equal to me. Instead of both of us trading insults and carving up our own poems (anyone can do a hatchet job on any poem; hell I've seen JC take a hatchet to Merrill, no less) over the issue, we'll post a poem and we'll let Mandolyn and JC judge whose work is the strongest, yours or mine. I don't trust your nameless 'friend', and certainly not your stupid aliases, but I do trust JC and Mandolyn. Even though JC and I have had our battles, I trust him to be intellectually honest in judging a quick little contest. Also he and Mandolyn have both made favorable comments on our work, so it should be a fair contest. If anyone would have an edge it would be you, as you shill for JC as if he's paying you, and you schmooze Mandy a lot. Or if you want to use the two Jims, that's fine. These are the only members I'll consent to as judges. If you want to tack on a third, perhaps Westbrook, or again, one of the two Jims. They're all on your 'unbiased critic' list so I can't imagine you'd protest using them. You coming on and churlishly dismissing all my lines means nothing at all, as everybody knows that you don't like me because you think I have no 'humility'. So a neutral party judging is most fair. Really, they can take a look at 'Little Black Dress' and Asian whatever, but if you want to put up another poem, you can do that. I'll dig up one too. If we can line up the judges, lets do it. What say you?-LPReplies for this message:

Just for the record, I am a man, healthy, wealthy and pretty wise. What I meant by personal is that all my instincts tell me that your poetry is mediocre at best. I remember the first time I read Prell's poem, I was open-minded. Then I couldn't believe what I was reading. This guy has been reading and writing poetry for forty years and he writes driving tongues from place to place etc... I was in total shock. Then on top of that you drop poet's names like you were friends with them. That was when it hit me. The guy is a fraud! The more I read of your stuff the more that became clear.
Today, I thought I would again try to be fair and asked this buddy to read your latest first and then Prell's tribute. Here is what he said about both(exactly what I had always suspected and what Jefferson carter had always been saying about your poetry) :
his bottom line is:
=============No doubt he's among the no talent amateurs who will say to those who note that what he writes is blather, that they are close minded and wholly lacking in imagination.=============
Just to be fair, I asked this same person to critique " Allen Prell's Voice" and here is the response:
Re: Fwd: Re: Allen Prell's Voice
Sent: October 13th,2014,4: 03 pm
From: J??????G?????
To: Aspiring Poet
[quote=" Aspiring Poet" ]so what did you think of this one?
Allan Prell's Voice
Barbed wire rousings and puckish grins:
Morning erupted and deepened guffaws.
Before noon could calm the nerves,
An audience of listeners is
Held like love. That speech, that tenor:
A liberal sun enters daily
Into the room of your life, in the car
Of your thoughts, waking all
Moribund impressions that
Lay like roadkill at the entrance of ears.
(I loved the way he screamed Baltimore;
Baltimore, in the shriek of microphones;
It was his heart by the misty harbor) .
I gave myself to the show,9 to 12,
To AM radio's weakening sprawl,
To a demi-god of shrillness who
Touched airwaves and subsisted on them,
Till night came crashing loudly,
Fifty thousand watts of doom,
Driving his tongue from city to city.
Lamont Palmer
" More crap. Apparently this guy thinks that by putting nonsensical phrases together in an aggressive voice, he has constructed something profound.
No doubt he's among the no talent amateurs who will say to those who note that what he writes is blather, that they are close minded and wholly lacking in imagination.
Don't waste your time with him. Instead, suggest that he post to the Poetry Free For All.
Just to show my good faith, and to prove, once and for all that my instinct regarding Palmer's writing ability or lack of it is valid, I asked someone I know to critique Palmer's newest. I said nothing about Palmer so as not to prejudice this individual. He has written over 10,000 critiques etc. This is what I got back:
95 St. Thomas(by Lamont Palmer)
Should I breathe laughter
Or just disintegrate?
Right away " you" set my bullshit buzzer going because you've engaged in the either or fallacy. Moreover I have no idea why you are asking these questions even if I knew what " breathing laughter" meant or entailed.
Rooms with windows
Seem to have no windows;
The empty plants [, ] placed
Strategically, resemble
Everything upon which
The misfires began;
What misfires?
The role of the stars
And gonzo flight,
And the ground we ate on
Shabbily and happily before
The insanity
what insanity?and how does one eat shabbily?
grew like crime
In an oblivious hamlet.
Er... what?Can a hamlet be oblivious to anything?Can gonzo flight or eating grow, let alone like crime anywhere?
Did a clown live here?
Who cares?Why are you asking this question. And how would knowing that a clown did live " here" (where is " here" ?) be relevant to anything?
One cannot say,
Why not?
Much less me
Much less me???Do you mean, even me?,
too confused to know.
But if you were not confused, you could say?
Seaside inlets, nearly conscious rain.
Bull shit buzzer. Rain cannot be conscious, let alone nearly conscious of any thing. What on earth would nearly conscious rain be aware of. How does it distinguish itself from fully conscious rain?In any case, these are sentence fragments. Where is the controlling verb?
Flaws wither and then rise again, like Shelley's
Monster running through this castle.
Flaws are not animate so they cannot wither. Running through anyone's halls in any fashion is not the same as rising. The simile is wholly inapt.
Props are on the stage;
what stage?
an oak chair, this hopeful
this what??
the man-child who sheds his own rare tears,
Is this child a prop?That's what you are saying.
When Tiburon darkness kills our monologues
What on earth is Tiburon darkness. And how can any kind of darkness kill a monologue?And who is the " us" you refer to here?
Makes their deaths uproarious farces,
Whose deaths???
Flat and devoid
If the farce is uproarious, it can hardly be flat or devoid of anything.
devoid of the typical outlook.
devoid of what???What is the outlook that you note is typical?What are its characteristic features?
Let that rapid-fire smile save at least you,
Though it won't save me, as I thought it would.
Er what?
This is a series of poorly written nonsense statements jumbled together. It is an embarrassment. If you think this in any way presents an experience to anyone, then you have no idea what presenting an experience entails and how to go about presenting one. Trash it."

I can't attest to his gripe with Plummy or Sherrie, but at least 'Acker' admitted that his feud with me is all personal. He hates me because he thinks I'm 'lacking in humility'. A highly subjective assessment at best. Jealousy, envy, resentment, scorn...such destructive forces. I hope 'he' finds something constructive to do with 'his' life. -LP

Making Homework MatterMore Related Discussions
472 Views
There was an interesting opinion piece in the New York Times entitled "The Trouble with Homework" that essentially says that homework, and compliance with homework would improve if homework itself were changed up a bit to be more thoughtful. Jenifer and I discussed this in our book- The Differentiated Instruction Book of Lists, coming up with at least 8 ideas on how teachers could begin to differentiate homework in the classroom. But I know everyone here has their own ideas on how they would change homework, for kids, parents and teachers. What are your ideas to personalize and differentiate homework? What makes this difficult to do in your classroom? If you asked kids for honest feedback about homework, and for support for their decision, what do you think they'd say?

The Air So Brisky Makes the Critters Frisky
One really cool morning this week, we looked out the window to see Smoky, the (adorable) little donkey, briskly running up and down and around his pen, and kicking up his heels so high his front feet also left the ground.
He has also been playing a lot with his big blue barrel. He was bucking and twisting as if he was in a rodeo. Every once in a while, he would stop and look toward the kitchen window as if to see if we were watching, which we were and enjoying the show very much.

The family is doing a day in center city Philly on Sat. I know Monk's has some rare beers on tap right now, and want to at least slip in for a few. I have only been there later at night, so I wanted to make sure it was cool to bring my 10 month old in for a little bit in the mid/late afternoon. Anyone know if this is okay, or is it not cool?
never been during the day but I would just go...hell, if you don't like the vibe with the kid, you have tons of other places worth going to fairly close by.
Smoke is the only thing that would have stopped me from taking my kids in, and that's a non-issue now.
Call'em and ask if they have highchairs...that'll give you your answer.
interesting, do you have high chairs is code for is it O.K. to bring kids... From now on I will ask the nice places I sometimes go if they have high chairs, and if they say yes they will be stricken from my list. Thanks for the inside info.
No matter how rich you are, you can still only drink 16 or 17 liters of beer a day.

Lawn Mower: smoking! please help
Okay so I bought my Toro lawn mower last November. I used it once and then covered it up and waited for summer. Summer came and I have used the lawn mower about 5 times. Well this weekend I was using it and smoke started coming out of the holes of the metal panel on the side of the lawn mower. I know I should have changed the oil, not stored it with gas in it, used a gas stabilizer or something. All of which I read in the manual last night. Too little; too late right. So now I dont know what to do to fix the problem. I'm scared I may have ruined a $500 lawn mower. So any ideas of why its smoking?? Should I change the filter or maybe the spark plug or buy a gas stabilizer or change the oil?? Or just bite the bullet and take it to a shop?
also anyone know why you are supposed to change the oil after only two hours the first time you use it? What happens if you dont, can you ruin the engine? I checked the oil and it looks clear and its not over filled or anything....
ahh geez
pls help
Did anyone by any chance tip the mower up on it's left side wheels for any reason? This will cause oil to get into the intake side. Were you cutting on a steep slope when it started smoking? This will do it too. All you have to do in these cases is change the air filter if it got oily. It's good to change the oil after a few cuttings because there could possibly be some stray metal particles from manufacturing in the crankcase, but it's not likely. I doubt if you've hurt anything by not changing it. What oil did you put in the new mower? If it has the Tecumseh engine (plain aluminum, not painted) it requires a straight SAE30. If a multi-grade like 10W30 was used, it could increase oil consumption but it probably wouldn't smoke.
Is the smoke black or blue/grey/white? Black smoke is gas smoke and indicates it's running rich. This probably would be from the float in the carburetor being stuck in the 'down' position. This would require a trip to the shop for warranty service. The other smoke is oil smoke covered above.
There's always the possibility that something has failed in the engine like a broken piston ring, but it's not likely and be covered anyway.
It's always good to use a fuel stabilizer, but put it in the gas can every time you fill it. This way you don't have to worry about old gas or forgetting to run the mower out of gas for storage.
One last shot: Black smoke can also be caused by old gas. If this is the problem, you'll have to drain the tank and carburetor - just loosen/remove the nut on the bottom of the fuel bowl and catch the fuel in a pan for disposal. Replace with fresh stabilized fuel.

Are Any WWE Pay Per Views Coming To Your Town In 2013?
Just like any other beginning of the year procedures, the WWE released its complete 2013 Pay Per View schedule for the year to all of its media affiliates which includes all dates and locations. Its always a pleasure to see what is in store for the year in terms of WWE PPV programming, since this will give fans a jump start to try to either save or buy tickets when they are available.
Some of the locations are already known like the Royal Rumble in a couple of weeks being in Phoenix, Arizona, and Wrestlemania 29 being in New York/New Jersey. Here is the list, see if any 2013 pay per views are going to be in your local home town.
Royal Rumble – 1/27/13 – Phoenix, AZ
Elimination Chamber – 2/17/13 – New Orleans, LA
WrestleMania – 4/7/13 – East Rutherford, NJ
Extreme Rules – 5/19/13 – St. Louis, MO
TBD – 6/16/13 – Chicago, IL
Money In The Bank – 7/14/13 – Philadelphia, PA
SummerSlam – 8/18/13 – Los Angeles, CA
Night Of Champions – 9/15/13 – Detroit, MI
Over The Limit – 10/6/13 – Buffalo, NY
Hell In A Cell – 10/27/13 – Miami, FL
Survivor Series – 11/24/13 – Boston, MA
TLC – 12/15/13 – Houston, TX
Impressive list and the list looks similar to what you would normally expect in a WWE Pay Per View List. One piece that is painfully noticeable is the June 16th Chicago, IL PPV. A name isn't announced yet, however this is normally your "Over The Limit" or (newly placed) "No Way Out", so WWE may not have set on which PPV name they want to use.
I personally do appreciate seeing that the WWE went back to a 12 PPV a year schedule rather the 15. In some situations, a person can have 3 PPV's on one billing cycle. If that's the case, were talking about $150 on PPV alone. Not pocket friendly to anyone in the WWE Universe.

Help with decorating Ideas for a guys room
Hello Everyone,
I'm looking to refresh the decor in my room, Keeping the furniture is optional (dresser ,nightstand, head board) I'm trying to make it look better with out have to repaint the whole room. Adding a area rug bewtween the bed and closet, changing the window treatments, adding wall art or wall stickers, smaller furniture, etc?
Just some thoughts....
Hard to tell, but the wall color looks very peachy rather than gold, which is a more feminine color. If you want to make it more macho without painting, I'd go with other autumn colors in the bedding...browns, rusts, tans.
The next thing I notice is too much stuff on the surfaces. Is there a way of getting a shelving unit so the fish tanks can be stacked and take up less horizontal space? I agree with akt that some bed side lamps would be nice, if not table top then wall hung, a different headboard would be nice...something more tailored and masculine. Don't know your sleeping arrangements but if you could get away with a narrow bed, it would make the room feel much better.
Also, it looks like a cpu and stuff on the dresser. Is there room in the window nook to put a narrow desk or work surface to use as computer space instead of the dresser top? Then you could add a lamp on the dresser and one on the computer desk.
I would do a BIG removable sea scape wall mural on your headboard wall. With this one you could keep your wall color as is. Your fish tank will be a plus but you need a better way to display it. Get some rollout drawers for under your bed to reduce clutter. Look for light colored bedding in an off white, keep it simple. You could keep your headboard or go without. Buy some cool pillows and some sort of statement swag lamp or simple wall mount plug-in lamps . Add a little canvas art on another wall. This will be fast and easy transformation.
Here is a link that might be useful: removable wall murals
I think you mostly need artwork and some floor lamps or table lamps first. The existing lighting is kind of harsh ( I would personally find it headache-inducing). I don't dislike the headboard, I think it's kind of interesting, so I would invest in lighting, something for the walls and bedding/window covering that went better with the existing wallcolor before I changed any furniture
I greatly appreciate the ideas and suggestions. I've been wanting to take out the the dresser and nightstand because they take up so much room and are not really needed. Underbed storage and closet storage is enough for me. Believe it or not there was a huge empty armoire in room on top of all this. Most of the stuff on top the dresser can be consolidated in to a small cabinet under the tv. The two aquariums can be put on something small with shelfs. The walls murals would be great for the wall behind the bed. I would like to have small desk or work station but I think would just take up space I am trying to gain in the room. I would like have some type of lounge chair I can sit in to watch tv and use laptop instead of always being on the bed.
Now that I'm seriously contemplating breaking down the dresser and taking out. Painting is more of an option because it won't be in the way and make things more difficult. My room is on the third floor of a townhouse so its hard for two people to move these large pieces of furniture around.
My inspiration: I like darker colors
Hi, I bought this hardy quilt for my son several years ago and itâÂÂs still going strong and in perfect condition after many washes. ItâÂÂs a DONNA SHARP HERRINGBONE QUILT. THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS QUILT IS THAT YOU JUST TOSS IT IN THE WASHER AND DRYER WITH NO WORRIES. IT ACCTUALLY LOOKS MUCH BETTER IN PERSON AND WOULD LOOK NICE WITH YOUR INSPIRATION PICKS. IGNORE HOW THE ROOM IN THE PICTURE IS DECORATED; THIS QUILT CAN LOOK MODERN WITH THE RIGHT MIX. MY SONS WALLS IN HIS NEW PLACE ARE A LIGHTER GRAY. SORRY, CAPS, NOT REWRITING!
You definitely should look into some type of tiered (strong) shelving to hold the two tanks and/or all the media/electronic equipment. You might be even able to post the TV on the wall on a swivel mount. This would free up a lot of room. The bed could slide down and then a small end table or nightstand would be needed between the two. (This is handy for your favorite beverage, phones/clocks, reading lamp, etc).
Is the carpet beige? I see you like greys, so those two can be challenging to combine when you have your current wall color. You will need some brown in that grey wall color to help bridge the two. The experts above can help you pick a good one. It would also work better with your existing bedding and drapes. Then you can look to add back in some of the geometric prints that are in your examples (in pillows/sheets, the chair, the art) and that accent color you have also selected in your examples.
Here is a link that might be useful: Example of a media shelving unit
terrilynn, Thanks, for the quilt idea, I really like it.
gooster, thanks for the media cart idea. I was looking for something like that and it will work perfectly for the aquariums and electronics. The carpet is a light brown color. The reason why the bed is so close to the window is because of the tv. I was thinking about switching sides with bed and the TV but I'm not sure if I will like it.
I would really like grey and some other color to go with it.
The red and grey picture below was added to the inspiration pile. The red and yellow caught my eye, even though I'm not a bright colors person I like it.

If you sketch out a floor plan with rough dimensions (and the type of bed you have), people may be able to help with layout optimization.
That last example with the deep crimson would not require you to paint the walls, along the lines of what AnnieD was saying. You can see in the example below how the mid grey combines with the tan, burnt orange and rust with a simple geometric in this example:
Modern Bedroom by San Francisco Architects & Designers John Lum Architecture, Inc. AIA
As in pic's you upload here you room size seems slow now with the same furniture if I recommend you something which is about wall paint to go with some shocking paints and white lights pointing on walls rather than they point on the floor or anything curtains according to the paint and a small light on top of your curtains could be white light or blue which feels cool, try to change your bed sheet and blanket with some soft color and good design.
On the floor rug is a good idea but if you have good tiled floor you need small rugs which colorful combinations.
Ditra Matting supplier UK
One of my favorite men's decor was the use of outdoor shutters for windows. They can be bought or made easily to match decor (modern, transitional, etc.). And a green/gray shade for walls. The drapes take up a lot of the room's visual space as does the headboard. You may not even need a headboard, hang solid shelves above.
Really like your inspiration pics. You are going to get a lot of ideas here. Guy's rooms seem to draw a lot of interest, it is great when they post here for help. Be sure and stick around, let us watch your transitions. There are no rights or wrongs when making your own decisions or not being comfortable with others suggestions.

Dem vocalz
I feel as though you went just a bit to far with the vocals a little bit to much splittin and splicin here and there, and the phase feels to far from the soul of the beat. I feel as though the vocals are trying to expand on the space of the beat but just aren't doing it with the beats condensed nature.
Hell I don't even know if making any damn sense but anyways good toonage :)
Thx a lot man, and yae u make sense don't worry. I feel exactly the same way about the overuse of vocals after coming back to it.

Edinburgh - where a "Quality Bike Corridor" features no bike lane, but does feature a car park!
The council are oh-so-pleased with their new "Quality Bike Corridor" (QBiC), which on paper leads a cyclist safely from the centre of Edinburgh through the Southside of the city all the way to the University campus at King's Buildings. A route already busy with cyclists, but with little more than the odd bit of paint here and there by way of infrastructure.
I've not yet ridden the length of the QBiC, but have heard and seen online how, well, rubbish it is. So I had reason to be on it this afternoon.
My thoughts? Well, I actually couldn't find it. There were some bits of paint and red(ish) tarmac on the road, but more of the route was either parking bays, or Edinburgh's infamous painted-cycle lanes with single yellow lines - meaning they are a car park! And the bits that do (or should) have double yellow lines? Well people are parking on them too.
I had great hopes for this route, but it's really dreadful. It feels like the cycling budget has been used to simply resurface some bits of the carriageway (which should come out the roads budget, it's not bicycles that tear up the roads in the first place!) 's yet more money poured away by people who don't ride bikes and don't know what cyclists want or need - and ultimately it makes the environment no more safe. Personally I think it's less safe as there's a presumption amongst cyclists that because there's some paint on the road that motorists have an obligation to treat them better, and there's an assumption amongst motorists that because there's some paint on the road that cyclists must be forced into the gutter and must not be in "their" space, i.e. primary.
Edinburgh council subscribes to the quantum theory school of bike lanes - the council genuinely believes they can paint a "cycle lane" and then also paint car parking spaces on the same piece of road and that it can be both things at once. Truly ridiculous - it just needs one car along the whole length to force you into having to pull out into a stream of traffic coming from behind - never a favourite manoeuvre for any cyclist.
Anyone in the council who is either involved with, has supported or has used this waste of paint and tarmac as an excuse to try buy a few "green points" should be forced to ride this embarrassment and over until they accept it's useless. They should then be sent back to the city chambers and be locked in until they can come up with the goods for something that truly could be called a "quality bicycle corridor".

Beginning this week hundreds and possibly even thousands of Cubans will have the opportunity to see world-class dancers from The Royal Ballet, Great Britain's largest and most prestigious ballet company, as they perform in Cuba's two most iconic theaters, the Gran Teatro de la Habana, Sala Garcia Lorca and the Karl Marx Teatro.
The historic cultural exchange for the ballet company began weeks ago, as Crowley personnel put the transportation details together to get the eight 40-foot containers from Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center to Port Everglades, Fla. On July 6, they were loaded aboard Crowley's container ship, the Elb Carrier, for their one-day journey to Cuba. The eight containers carried a variety of items for the ballet performances, including costumes, stage equipment, sets, scenery and props.
Geoff Wheel, technical director for The Royal Ballet, said "We really couldn't have done the Cuban part of the tour without Crowley's license to ship directly between the U.S. and Cuba, let alone their expertise. Our schedule just wouldn't allow it. It's been really fast and efficient and it's made all the difference to have them as part of the team."
The Royal Ballet has performances scheduled in Cuba from July 14 to July 18. The much-anticipated shows will also be broadcast live on two big screens in the Havana's city center, where people who cannot attend the concert can watch four of the performances for free. The Royal Ballet will be performing a mixed program featuring Chroma, Divertissements and A Month in the Country and Kenneth MacMillan's Manon.
Crowley is authorized to ship licensed cargo to Cuba. Currently, Crowley sails to Havana, Cuba from Port Everglades and Jacksonville, Fla. as an alternate port every week. Eligible commodities for export to Cuba are detailed under Section 902(1) of the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000.

U.S. Men Held At Border With Canadian Contraband
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Two young Seattle men came back from a trip to Canada bearing gifts - six chocolate eggs known as Kinder Surprise eggs, because each has a plastic toy inside. They got their own surprise when they reached the U.S. border and agents informed them each egg carried a $2,500 fine. The men told KOMO News they were eventually allowed across without a fine and without the eggs, which are banned in the U.S. as a choking hazard. It's MORNING EDITION.

Historical Traveler Reviews Qubus Hotel Krakow
Stupendo soggiorno al qubus hotel
L' Albergo � meraviglioso.Le stanze sono grandi e pulitissime e il personale � gentilissimo.Sono stato al qubus hotel dal 6 giugno al 10 giugno e mi sono trovato benissimo.La colazione � splendida.L'albergo non dista molto dal centro storico di Cracovia e per arrivare al centro a 100 metri c'� la stazione del tram dove si deve prendere o il 13 o il 74 o dopo 4 fermate uno � in centro.
Excellent Hotel, Highly Recommended !
I travel a lot on business around Europe & the Qubus is one of the best hotels I've stayed in for long time.
It is a short Tram ride from the city centre & station (Tram 13 or 74) or a very pleasant ten minute walk.
This is a fairly new hotel, my room & all the public areas are in immaculate condition.
I had a lovely room with all the amenities you could wish for (flat screen TV, internet access, mini-bar, ironing board, super range of toiletries, etc).
Add to this very polite professional staff, a relaxing lobby bar & a brilliant breakfast.
All in all the Qubus is an excellent 4* hotel that would a lot of 5* hotels a run for their money.
Highly Recommended !
Excellent location in an excellent city
Stayed at the Qubus Hotel for 3 nights in early May 2007. This has to be one of, if not the best contempoary hotel in Krakow. Staff are excellent, rooms are very clean, superb pool and the location is great for getting into the city. Bar in the foyer is very comfortable for early evening drinks.
The breakfast buffet is good and should meet everyones requirements, don't bother with lunch / dinner, the plentifull restraunts in the town square are far to good to be missed. Only 8-10 ( 2 pound) lots to get into town by Taxi or 15 minutes steady walk.
Krakow is a great city and the Qubus is a great choice for someone looking for a good hotel in a good location..
Ausgezeichnetes, zentrales Hotel
Dies ist ein sehr neues Hotel. Es ist ein modernes Gesch�ftshotel mit Internetverbindung auf dem Zimmer, sowohl als feste Internetstation als auch eine Verbindung f�r einen Laptop. Die Zimmer sind nicht riesig, aber sie sind gro� genug. Das Hotel hat einen ausgezeichneten Ausblick �ber die Stadt, der noch besser ist, wenn man im Jacuzzibecken auf dem siebten Stock sitzt und den Sonnenuntergang �ber den vielen Kirchturmspitzen hinweg genie�t. Unser Zimmerpreis hatte das Fr�hst�ck eingeschlossen, das sehr gut war. Es war alles vorhanden, vom Speck und Eier bis Obst und Joghurt, hausgemachte Kuchen, Brot und Fleisch. Wir haben beide N�chte im Hotelrestaurant gegessen, das eine sehr hohe Qualit�t bot, jedoch etwas teurer war, als einige Restaurants in Krakau. Dies ist jedoch von einem Hotelrestaurant zu erwarten. Man kann das Hotel ganz leicht finden, da es sehr gut ausgeschildert ist. Das Hotel liegt neben dem Fluss, im S�den der Stadt und man braucht ca. 15 Minuten zu Fu� bis zum Hauptplatz. Ich kann dieses Hotel im h�chsten Ma�e empfehlen und w�rde auf jedem Fall wieder hier �bernachten.
Ausgezeichnetes Hotel
Ein neues Hotel, das erst seit letztem Sommer ge�ffnet hat. Alles ist sehr neu, die Betten sind toll und die Zimmer waren sauber und ordentlich. Wir haben 90 Euro pro Nacht bezahlt, was einem sehr guten Preis- Leistungsverh�ltnis entspricht, wenn man bedenkt, dass ein ausgezeichnetes Fr�hst�ck, die Nutzung des Fitnessraumes, Schwimmbad und Jacuzzi, im Preis inbegriffen waren. Das Hotel wird als Gesch�ftshotel eingestuft, aber ich kann es auf jedem Fall f�r Touristen empfehlen. Es liegt nicht im Zentrum und man braucht ca. 15 Minuten zu Fu�, um ins Zentrum zu gelangen, aber der Weg ist sehr sch�n und die Taxen sind sehr g�nstig. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit einem traumhaften Ausblick auf die Innenstadt von Krakau und wenn Sie einen wundersch�nen Sonnenuntergang erleben m�chten, dann sollten Sie zum Schwimmbadbereich gehen und den Sonnenuntergang vom Jacuzzi aus genie�en. Die Angestellten waren hilfsbereit und nett. Ich hoffe, dass das Hotel diesen Standard auch in der Zukunft beibeh�lt und ich w�rde auf jedem Fall wieder hier �bernachten.
Excellent hotel to be stay in. Contemporary decor, free inroom broadband internet, excellent 2-way opening sliding windows.
Stayed here for 3 nights, excellent service. Dined in the hotel restaurant the first night , signed the bill to my room.. It was not posted to my room when I checked out so my dinner charges were waived.
Excellent Lavazza coffee, and a good selection of Rhonefeld teas. Staff are very eager to please, and very well stocked minibar. Possibly one of the best swimming pool in Eastern Europe, located on the rooftop with glass ceilings and walls, offering breathtaking views of Krakow during sunset. Heated jacuzzi is the cream of the cake.
I'd definitely recommend to stay here, plus it's only 4 tram stops away from the city and 2 minutes walk from the Jewish settlement. Be adventurous, take the tram which stops 1 minute walk away from the hotel.
Excellent hotel
i could'nt really find any fault with this hotel. the rooms, and the hotel itself was absolutely spotless. very modern and very clean. the food was very good. its only a short distance to the old city square. about a kilometer or two. you can walk to it on a nice day or get a cab which costs about 14 zl. this approx E 3.50. there's a huge shopping mall across the river whick you can walk over to in 3 or 4 mins. it's very cheap in krackow except for shopping. clothes and such are the same as western prices. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpfull. The morning breakfast was a big surprise. we were expecting a continetal breakfast for the prices we paid. the breakfast is a large buffet display which you are spoilt for choice. its self service and it would take to long to list here whats on offer. there's a gym and leisure centre, although the pool and gym are a little small, it does the trick fine. we had a late night one night and slept past the room clean. we said nothing and were'nt bothered about it. later when we came back the rooms were cleaned. there is great views from atop the leisure centre and from the open glass elevators. the coffee was good, the food was good, the service and just about everything. only thing i would say, is that if your changing your money, don't use the hotel currency exchange. you get better rates from the many 'kantors' as there called that are all over the city. i would all the same highly recommend this hotel. the prices we paid were e 31.50 per person per nite sharing. from where i come from this is a quater or a third of what i would pay for similar hotel in ireland. these were april prices, so it may well be more in the summer months.
Excellent hotel
New hotel, has been open since last summer. Everything is quite new. The beds are great and the rums very clean and neat. We got a rate of about 90 Euro per night which was a great value for the money as it included an excellent breakfast, fitness room and access to the swimming pool and jacuzzi. The hotel is a business hotel but I really recommended for tourists as well. The hotel is not central and takes about 15 minutes to go to the centre but the walk is nice and taxis are inexpensive. We got a room with a beautiful view of downtown Krakow and if you want to enjoy a beautiful sunset go up to the pool area and see the sunset from the jacuzzi.
The staff was quite helpful and nice. I hope the hotel keeps the same standard in the future. I would definitely stay there again.
Excellent, central hotel
This is a very new hotel. The hotel is a modern business type hotel with internet in the rooms both on a fitted internet station and also a connection for a laptop. The rooms are not massive but are big enough. The hotel has excellent views over the city which are even better when you are sat in the jacuzzi on the 7th floor watching the sun set over the many church spires.
The room we booked included breakfast which was very good. Included everything from bacon and eggs to fruit and yogurt to local cakes, bread and meats.
We ate in the hotel restaurant both nights of our stay here which was high quality but was more expensive than some of the restaurants in Krakow. But this is to be expected for a hotel restaurant.
The hotel is easy to find, being well signed from the main roads. The hotel is located adjacent to the river just south of the city and is about a 15 minute walk from the central square.
I would highly recommend the hotel and would certainly stay there again.

Well, I'll be...never would have guessed that.
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
The ferry can take many, many more passengers than the monorail - and the OP voluntarily hopped out of the ferry line to take the resort monorail. Staying in the ferry line most likely would have gotten them there within the hour, IMO.
Op, sorry you had to deal with that annoyance! Disney transportation is generally a good service, and we've used it many times; this time, however, we are driving our own car to the parks. Thanks for reminding me why!
OP-you sound like a nice guy. I don't blame your wife either for asking to move/turn off the generator, I would of done the exact same thing. I don't know people chime in and say "you shouldn't of asked to move the generator because you are not GF guest". What the heck does that have to do with anything? You have to be a GF guest to not want to hear a loud smelly generator???
Paintnolish-even if you drive your car to the parks, for magic kingdom, you still have to park at the ttc and take either the monorail or ferry to actually get to MK. This is what the OP did as well.
Actually, if the OP had used one of Disney's busses from a Disney resort, he wouldn't have had any of the problems he did. The resort bus would have dropped him off right at the front gate.
The decision to drive to the Magic Kingdom (which may have been unavoidable if he was staying off-site) is actually what precipitated this whole series of unfortunate events.
He was driving from home.
Sorry, let me be more specific: I don't want to be at there mercy all the time! I'm tired of waiting in bus lines. Last time, we did use the busses even though we had a car because baby ds went through a stage where he hated his carseat, and riding the busses cut down on the screaming we had to hear; however, I feel like we wasted a lot of time waiting while we could've been driving MOST places.
So, yes, it was unavoidable in his case.
Though, I have to say, if I'd arrived at the TTC to see a crowd of people that size waiting for the ferry and the monorail broken down, I'd have turned to the kids and said, "Guess what? We're going to Epcot! Everyone back to the car!"
I've done it before. So, actually I rather admire the OP's persistence!
Maybe it's because we stay at Pop Century (which I've heard has the best busses), but I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes for a bus at Disney, even during busy times. Usually I only wait about five or ten minutes.
We timed our travel time on the bus... It's just 10 minutes to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. It's about 15 minutes from the Pop Century to Animal Kingdom (unless we stop at Blizzard Beach first, then it's 20). And it's 20 minutes to get the Magic Kingdom.
Honestly, I think the bus gets us to the parks faster than the car does most of the time, since we never have to hike through parking lots or wait for the parking trolley to take us to the gate. Plus, we have more freedom to park hop if we want, without having to go back to retrieve the car. We like starting our morning in Hollywood Studios and taking a boat to finish off our day in Epcot.
Edit: But I can definitely see how a car might be preferable with a baby. Less standing, and guaranteed seats!
OP--so sorry you had to go through all of that! I've gotten stuck on the monorail before back in 2009, while it was on the tracks near the Polynesian but not at the actual station. At least you had the ability to get off once you realized it wasn't going anywhere; I was stuck. I'm hoping the monorails aren't in too bad shape when I go in January--I was planning on doing the ride over to MK from Epcot a few times.
I guess we're fair weather vacationers because that would have totally ruined my day. Especially since we are usually staying at a monorail resort, I would have been livid. I love Disney, recently had a great trip, and will be back soon BUT I'm glad to see these opinions voiced because Disney needs to listen. I have been shocked in the past two years how much cast member service has gone down. Our good friends live close to Disney and they said literally their whole neighborhood has complained about poor Disney service more recently. That's not to say there aren't the exceptional cast members but 50% of the time on my trip a week ago, the cast members were disgruntled and often rude. And back to the monorail, it needs some TLC. Especially with the poly getting a DVC, that's too many guests relying on it plus a lot of people paying a huge premium for it. Sorry to rant but the monorail and cast member service have let me down in recent years. Thank you OP for sharing your story, maybe the Disney ears will listen. Also I'm glad you were able to salvage your day- a day at disney is better than a day at home
I get your drift, you do not like being told you are wrong ... and no, unless you are a guest or eating at the CR, you cannot just park there and walk, or did you not remember that one. It isn't like just jumping on board the monorail, security will stop you and ask where you are going. Depending on time of day, and how busy they are, you may end up with a 3 hour parking permit, and they will time you. I have seen cars towed...
Face it, you made a poor decision by getting on the resort monorail. Had you not done that, it would not have taken you 2 hours to get into the park. Had you been like many who do not know about the resort monorail going there (yes, not all know about it, which explains why the lines are shorter that way), you never would have done it Live and learn, short cuts are not always the fastest way to get to where you are going
What a shame that you couldn't just walk over that imaginary bridge from the GF to MK. That would have took, maybe 15 minutes!
I was there that day!!! I totally feel ya, we decided to stay in line for the ferry.....took a whole hour we didn't arrive until 10ish.... I still am not sure what happened to the monorail that day!
Yes, how dare he take advantage of all the different transportation options WDW has available! Shame on you, OP! Next time you'll know better than to listen to a CM trying to help you get to the MK faster.
Goodness knows, we can't ever say Disney has a terribly-maintained monorail system. Nah, must somehow be the customer's fault.
My point is being missed here. He took "advantage" of an option for resort guests who are paying up the ying yang to stay there (have you paid those prices, I have) and then they are all shuttled like cattle to the smaller boats to the MK since the monorail stalls. So, there you have guests from the CR (who could not or decided not to walk for some reason), guests from the Poly, guest from the GF and guests who are not paying the Monorail Resort prices waiting on this long line to get to the MK. It was "his" decision to jump on that monorail. He should not be complaining about the long line there, nore should he complain about the generator. Yes, he took "advantage" of the monorail service to get to the MK, instead of using the Ferry. So therefore instead of waiting an hour for the Ferry, he waited 2 for a small boat..
It amazes me how some do not get my point. Yes, he can take it if he wants to but do not blame Disney for that decision. He could have waited like the other MK park guests, and let the Monorail Resort guests have the shorter wait time. I know if I am paying $400+ per night, I don't want to wait in line with every Tom, **** and Mary because they took "advantage" of what they thought was going to be a short cut and increase my wait times
As I have stated and will state again, he has every right in the world to complain about the express monorail going down and the long lines at the ferry. Disney should have gotten buses out and shuttled the MK park guests over that way, but to complain about being over at the GF, that was his choice to to that route... Disney didn't shuttle him there....
as far as his little comment about parking over at the CR, I have stayed there and come back to the resort from another park only to find I could NOT find a spot.. hmmm would it be due to people parking there when they want to just walk over to the MK. When I am paying the money to stay there, I want the parking spot that comes with it.... I should not have to circle around for 20 minutes or pay for Valet Parking just to park my car (and then there was a fee for it, not sure if there still is for resort guests)
You might want to take up your grievances with WDW management. The resort monorail is not exclusively for resort guests, though you clearly believe that it is.
The Riff-Raff
I know it is not, but when it comes to times like this, they need to do something for the guests who are paying premium prices as opposed to those that hop on to get there faster.... not saying he wasn't allowed, just saying he really should not be complaining. Then to want to move a generator because it is loud.. sorry, but I do not agree there. It is possible it was there because the least amount of rooms were in that area. Like I said, you are paying big bucks to stay there.. and you don't want to hear a generator because a park guest wants it moved away from the line they are on for the boat???? Yes, you are hearing it too while on that line, I get that part
Separate names with a comma.
