NAOMI Campbell wishes she were an Olympic sprinter.
The 41-year-old supermodel has been enjoying the short-distance track events at the London games and particularly admires the runners' "elegance".
And Naomi even thinks she could do well in a race.
She told Britain's Vogue magazine: "If I were an athlete I would be a sprinter. It looks so elegant - and I can definitely hold my own."
However, despite her sporting ambition, Naomi recently said she has no desire to give up her catwalk career to do something else because she loves the way she can constantly "reinvent" herself as a model.
She said: "I still love what I do. It's a new challenge to see how people can change your look. I like words like transformation, reinvention, and chameleon. Because one word I don't like is predictable."
However, the British beauty is still bemused to be called a supermodel.
She said: "I would never call myself that. I don't have any superhuman powers."

to hate being called m'am or madam by shop assistants
(125 Posts)Is it necessary to give me a title? M'am is a like being called Mum, and Madam puts me in mind of the lady in charge of a brothel.
YABU. It's respectful and polite.
I don't mind "Miss" or duck, or love, or dear, in fact anything apart from Mrs which I loathe. I don't bother corrrecting any one. I have a vague recollection of Dick Emery sketch where a truly bonkers character did that.
I don't like ''Miss'' - I am neither a schoolteacher nor 12 years old.
I quite like "duck" <Midlander>
We used to have a woman who worked in our local WHSmith who was from the West country and she called everybody "Moi loverrrrr" - she was quite the local celebrity.
I dont mind Madam or Miss its 'Duck' and 'Love' I hate. Duck/Love seems to be interchageable with Madam/Miss around here. Even in Tesco and B&Q they say it
hah..... I got called a young lady the other day by a customer and it made me laugh..... (and feel goood!) I'm "about" 50 - she was about 80....
She said to my boss - "This young lady is helping me, thank you...." when he asked if she needed anything... he nearly choked at the "young lady", so I poked him in the ribs when I went past
Thing is I always get the feeling it's used with contempt. When I worked in retail we reserved the titles sir and madam for the arrogant idiots who were easily flattered by the superficial suggestion that these titles indicated respect...they don't!
I hate it, it sounds false and makes me feel ancient.
Puts me right off shopping in Waitrose.
If anyone called me "young lady" I would feel seriously patronised and offended. If someone in a shop came up to me and said "Hi girl" I would wonder if they had received any customer service training at all. I would certainly not be shopping there.
I always ask people to refer to me by my first name (short and simple), as my surname is long and foreign and complicated and I can never be bothered correcting/helping people's pronunciation of it.
I am not happy with inequality, I will not call someone Mrs, Dr, etc if they call me by my first name and if they call me Mrs then I can't call them by their first name. It doesn't matter who they are. It is either formal or informal.
I actually like Madam. Can't stand Miss though.
Overuse of first names is not something I feel comfortable with either. But it's always the young men in Waitrose and M&S who overuse madam. However anyone from the Deep South can call me Ma'am any time they choose - I just love the southern drawl.
The 'slips of girls' at my hairdresser call me by my first name. I am a regular. I call them by their first name. I would hate the inequality of them calling me Mrs and me calling them Anna etc. if they called me Mrs I would have to use Ms or Miss.
I still think that everyone is lying by saying that people would be offended if they are called by friendly terms.
TGC : Doesn't this rather contradict your point about people being 'cold-hearted' etc for calling a stranger Sir or Madam (or simply for not having a problem with this)? You think that people are lying by saying they would offended by 'friendly terms' - well, 'Madam' in the contexts we are talking about is intended to be a friendly and polite term, and yet that seems to offend you .
I really wouldn't recommend you continue referring to adults as 'Girl' when you address them - it is pretty patronising and rude. Adults don't generally wish to be referred to as 'Girl' or 'Boy' by someone who doesn't know them. I only really hear it used when referring to a group of friends ie 'the girls at the office' or 'going on a boys' weekend'.
Better than being called by your first name by some slip of a girl as happened to me when I returned a hirecar last week. The assistant had a piece of paper with my full name and title and yet kept calling me by my first name. I was not happy, Madam would have been infinitely better.
On the rare occasions I have been called that, I have loved it.
I really dislike being referred to as Madam. I do my weekly shop in Waitrose - in one exchange about the location of an item I've counted it being used 7 times - it makes me want to scream! And tends to be only the young men who do it. I see no good manners attached to it's use.
I get more surprised when they say 'can I help you guys' when I am with a female friend , but it doesn't't bother me. 'Hello Duck, can I help you' doesn't bother me either, or 'Can I help you, pet?'. 'Can I help you, my lover' threw me a bit in Cornwall until I got used to it!
I don't know why you think me a cold person. I have never called anyone madam and don't intend to start. I am merely saying that it is the norm in some shops and it is so trivial it isn't worth getting upset about. It is intended to be polite.
I'd love to be called ma'am. I still get called 'miss' or 'girl' and sometimes even 'kid'
Sorry tgc but I think that's rubbish.
Most people on here have said they don't mind.
I have never objected to being called madam - I am over 50 but it never bothered me.
I would however have objected to being hailed by "Hi Girl"
If it was only a cultural difference, it would be only me saying that I hate to be called Madam. As you can see, it is not only me. And you are a very cold person who does not care about other people's feelings.
The reason? Like the Madlizzy said, it sounds as if they are thinking of you "over certain age", it makes you feel old. And nobody has right to make someone old as long as they are still young.
You can simply say, "Excuse me" or "Miss" is certainly better than Madam. I am OK with "Miss".
I think that it is all to do with cultural differences,tgc. Mainly we all need to be kind to each other.
Some shops just tell assistants to use 'madam' and so they do. I can't see why is bothers anyone.

(Edited press release)
The Racing Officials Accreditation Program has developed an annual performance evaluation program for stewards and judges, as well as a list of points of emphasis for judging races in 2007 that will be provided to state racing commissions by year's end. The initiatives were announced at the University of Arizona's Symposium on Racing & Gaming in Tucson. ROAP was launched in July 2005 to improve the integrity of racing by accrediting all racing officials, stewards, and judges.
"We have had several inquiries from racing commissions asking for suggestions on how to properly evaluate the job performance of their stewards and judges," said Stan Bowker, executive secretary of the Virginia Racing Commission and chairman of ROAP. "With the help of executive directors John Wayne in Delaware, John Blakeney in Ontario, and Bob Leitner in Washington, we have developed the key elements that should be included in a program to evaluate stewards and judges.
"The ROAP program envisions annual evaluations, and we believe the reviews will show that stewards and judges, by and large, are doing an outstanding job of enforcing the rules and regulations of each racing commission and maintaining the integrity of our sport. In situations where improvements are needed, the reviews will provide opportunities to discuss performance changes."
In addition to the performance evaluation program, ROAP also will be recommending to each racing commission a number of points of emphasis that they should consider directing their stewards and judges to concentrate on in 2007.
"In today's age of simulcasting where 88% of handle originates off track, it is more important than ever to develop consistency in the way stewards and judges handle certain situations," Bowker said. "Consistency of officiating is characteristic of other professional sports, and we believe that horse racing's patrons will be better served if stewards and judges handle certain situations the same no matter where a track is located."
ROAP's Stewards/Judges Advisory Committee, chaired by Dr. Ted Hill, the Jockey Club steward at the New York Racing Association tracks, developed the following points of emphasis for 2007:
-Uniform posting of the inquiry sign
-Requiring jockeys to ride horses out to the wire
-Uniform review of race video before declaring a race official
-Routine communications with all stakeholders, including owners, trainers, jockeys, track management, fans, and other racing officials
The proposed stewards/judges evaluation program and the 2007 points of emphasis will be sent in late December to each racing commission, which will then determine whether to implement the measures in their jurisdiction.

Applied, thanks. Pete d.piccolo wrote: Hi Everybody I've found a bug in the au1x00_uart.c file in the drivers/serial/ directory of the 2.6.10 linux kernel. There is only possible to change the speed of the communication but not to update other parameters of the serial link, like the number of bits involved, stop bits and parity. Comparing the code of this source file with the code of the standard 8250 driver (8250.c also present in the same directory) I've found the problem: au1x00_uart.c never updates the LCR register (Line Control Register) of the serial controller at runtime, it happens only at first setup. The problem is solved by adding the line serial_out(up, UART_LCR, cval);just before the line up->lcr = cval; /* Save LCR */(there is only one position in all the source code where is written "Save LCR") I hope it could be useful.

Good Grips Slicing Guide by OXO
This recipe is from Patricia Quintana's book, Puebla, Cocina de Los Angeles. With her usual innovative flair, Patricia makes madeleines with this mixture and serves them as a garnish to the main course. This recipe makes about 55 madeleines.
- 3 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup butter
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 8 eggs, separated
- 2 cups rice flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon plus pinch salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degress F. Grease and flour a 8-9 1/2-inch ring baking mold.
Put the water, salt, and sugar in a saucepan. Add the carrots and cook for 25 minutes over medium heat. Let cool a little. Drain, reserving the liquid, then puree in a blender with milk and a little of the cooking liquid added if necessary to make a smoother puree.
Cream the butter with an electric mixer for 8 minutes, or until fluffy. Continue to beat while gradually adding the sugar, to make a smooth paste.
Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating continuously until all of the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
Sift the flour 3 times with the baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Alternately beat the carrot puree and flour into the butter-yolk mixture.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer or wire whisk until stiff but not dry. Fold them into the batter. Pour the batter into the mold and bake for 45 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool slightly. Turn the mold over and tap the bottom to release the cake on a plate. Let cool, then slice an serve.

Safi Airways has survived management changes, and a ban on flying to Europe, to turn a profit since April.
Tags: Safi Airways | Afghanistan | International Civil Aviation Organization | Dubai | Delhi | John Roijen | Werner Borchert | Claus Fischer | chief financial officer
When private Afghan airline, Safi Airways, was banned from flying to Europe last year, it was a blow serious enough to force a relaunch of the company.
Frustratingly for Safi Airways, which is International Civil Aviation Organization-complaint, it was not the airline's fault.
The blanket ban issued by the European Union prevented any Afghan-registered aircraft from entering EU airspace, because of safety concerns about Afghanistan's airline regulatory body.
But it is not the airline's only problem. Since starting in 2006, Safi Airways, which flies two international routes, to Dubai and Delhi, has operated in a war zone.
The airline, which is owned by Afghanistan's Safi family, has its headquarters in Kabul. However, the company also keeps administrative offices in Dubai.
John Roijen, chief financial officer, Safi Airways, who joined the airline at the beginning of 2011, works most of the week from Dubai, and flies to Kabul just one day...

- Shishir Sharma
The movie begins in earnest by showing an incident that builds her interest in self-defence before showing her first interaction with a boxing gymnasium and coach and her entry into boxing. The movie then tells the story of her initial training, her struggle with a new sport, her immense dedication and will, her passion, while at the same time showing the immense struggle of balancing the needs of home and boxing and the additional sacrifices that she had to make to pay for her classes and equipment, all in the context of the poverty that was a constant in her early life.
The script builds up to the reasons for Mary's first unsanctioned fight and the immense odds that she faces against a fancied opponent to win some money for her family. The script them engages with Mary's relationship with the officialdom of the boxing federation and weaves in the challenges of that relationship into her burgeoning professional career in the larger context of Onler's proposal and her decision to marry him and then giving birth to twins. Mary is shown balancing the demands of her training with the demands of her young children and how the balance is made possible by the unending attention of Onler, who learns to take care of the children under Mary's supervision.
The story shows how the country writes her off and the pressures on her and her family to have her quit. And then it is shown how she makes a comeback and wins accolades, along with taking care of family and children.

He was lucky that was all he was wearing.
You can't see the bandages on his arse.
How much do you tip a cow, anyway? 10%? 15%?
Obviously a lot more for a bull …
You don't tip a bull, he charges you!
He quickly found out it was a bull and not the udder kind. My advice, look before you leap, opps, I mean tip
The was Jon's favourite past time; from Garfield
Why do so many people believe that cows sleep standing?
My dad told me the same story…
takes two to four people to tip over a cow if they quickly surprise it which is very difficult since bovine hear and smell so well. but it's a bad thing to do, bad to bully an animal and bad to risk injury
About 100 years ago there was a publication called Captain Billy's Whizbang. It was a humor magazine meant to be on the racy side. The publication was mentioned in the Broadway play The Music Man and was founded by Captain William Fawcett, who turned that success into one of the largest publishing empires in the U. S.
About 25 years ago the company released an anniversary edition of the defunct Whiz Bang. On the cover was the picture of an embarrassed young farm girl with a milk pail. Next to her was a rather irate bull that she had mistaken for a cow and had tried to milk.
Impossible to tip a cow. They don't sleep standing up.
Why do so many people believe that cows sleep standing?
That pile of cow manure was probably started by some "bullsh!t artist". -
Just how is it in Id in the days of knights, wizards and jesters and attacking vikings that they could have a photo album???
re: cow sleeping
Sometimes you wonder when they actually sleep. Back in the late 1980s, I went camping with family and some love child hadn't maintained the fences. So, the cows from nearby alotments on the Forest came calling in the night. Fortunately, none of them tripped over a tent line or stake. Stomp stomp stomp in the dead of night when they went through. At the end of the week, I went up to the spring and found that the cows had shoved their way in and stomped in the cover of the spring. Been drinking cowplop all week…

Title: | A Study of Corrosion and Pitting Initiation of AA2024-T3 Using Atomic Force Microscopy |
Creators: | Leblanc, P.; Frankel, G. S. |
Keywords: |

Issue Date: | 2002 |
Citation: | Leblanc, P.; Frankel, G. S. "A Study of Corrosion and Pitting Initiation of AA2024-T3 Using Atomic Force Microscopy," Journal of the Electrochemical Society, v. 149, no. 6, 2002, pp. B239-B247. |
Abstract: | The corrosion behavior of a population of microstructural inclusions in AA2024-T3 and the interactions between individual inclusions were investigated using atomic force microscopy-based techniques. The results showed that Al-Cu-Fe-Mn intermetallic particles were cathodic in nature and interacted strongly with their surroundings. For large exposed areas, it was found that pitting initiated at a few Al2CuMg particles, which became active upon film breakdown even though scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy measurements in air showed they were noble with respect to the matrix prior to the exposure. The size and location of the cathodic regions proved to be critical issues. Accelerated matrix dissolution took place for exposed areas containing a large area fraction of Al-Cu-Fe-Mn inclusions. The location of the cathodic sites had a strong influence on the local chemistry of the environment and controlled the corrosion behavior of the surface. Potentiodynamic measurements made using a remote cathode indicated no copper redeposition around the pit and on the matrix, in contrast with open-circuit exposure, where active cathodic inclusions modify the local pH. It was also found that pits generated at Al2CuMg inclusions became ennobled as a result of Cu enrichment but did not become active cathodic sites. |

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Vyvant San Diego
The Little Italy Inn, is a wonderful B&B
It was my very first visit to sunny San Diego recently when I attended a conference for 5 days. (Feb 12 -16,2006)
When I went to book the hotels that were recommended by the conference, the only ones left were either really expensive or very far away from the Convention Centre.
I then searched Internet and found the Little Italy Inn.
Something happened with my booking on-line and when I arrived in San Diego, the General Manager Rob Pierson on duty on a Sunday, was unable to find my reservation.
He had one room left with a shared bath.
The rest was history, I loved San Diego and the Little Italy Inn.
It was very very clean and although the room I was staying in was small, it was nicely tucked away near the back on the second floor and was as Rob had promised Very Quiet.
The mattress was extermely comfortable and had a great nights sleep every night.
I thought I would mind sharing a bathroom, but I didn't, and I am sure it had something to do with how clean they kept it.
I had 2 bathrooms on the second floor to pick from. One with a shower and one with a Bathtub.
It is conveniently located B&B near some very fine Italian restuarants on Little Italy street, only 2 short blocks away.
The staff at the inn were very friendly and even though I was travelling and staying on my own, I felt very safe.
Rob the General Manager went out of his way to help figure out what happened with my orginial booking.
The breakfast is definetly enough to keep you going with Bagels, Fruit, Toast, Cold and Hot Cereal, Juice and Coffee or Tea.
They also keep a lovely fruit bowel going all day with coffee or tea for quick snacking.
I would definetly come back to this very friendly, very clean and very reasonably priced B&B.
Thanks Rob for everything..
RAP from Toronto
Unique, convenient, superb friendly staff
My wife, daughter, and her husband had connecting rooms with a bath and kitchenette in one of the rooms.
The Inn is very unique, much like a B and B in Europe, but much nicer and very very clean. A major plus for the Inn is the absolutely super staff. Rob, the manager, was knowledgeable about the city, transportation, and above all made you feel like you were staying with nice relatives. The Inn is located near public transportation that will take you to most of the popular city sites and districts. It is only one block from the Little Italy district. If your objective is to find a friendly, unique, comfortable place to stay as opposed to a large cookie-cutter national hotel chain, then the Little Italy Inn is the place for you.
Ideal for a short stay in the city
I was only in San Diego for one night and didn't have accommodation booked. Went to the visitor centre by the waterfront and quickly found this hotel for a very reasonable rate. The room we booked had a corner-jacuzzi bath tub which was lovely after a long days drive from the desert.
The rooms have recently been re-done and have everything you need, including nice bathrobes, a portable heater and air conditioner.
'European' (small) room and some of the rooms do not have their own bathroom. (The shared bathroom looked very clean and modern).
You get comp. wine and cheese in the evening and comp. continental breakfast with fantastic bagels! We were able to park right outside on the street for free too.
I would recommend this hotel if you are only in town for a day or two. We travelled all over CA so we didn't bother to unpack. Although I said the room was small, we still managed to fit 1 case, 2 duffel bags and a huge golf travel bag in the room!
As it's in Little Italy we got a cab to the Gaslamp area which was only about $5, the hotel was only about 4 blocks from the waterfront.
Weekend Get-away
Stayed in August for a long weekend. This Inn is a haven in the core of downtown. The rooms were well-appointed. Linens were excellent. Our room (T) had a view of the harbor, one of the few rooms that can boast this fact. The breakfast was not fancy....but sufficed in keeping us eating light and healthy. When we arrived Friday evening the table was laden with wine and cheese....nice touch. Got great suggestions Friday night on where to eat in Little Italy....Mona Lisa and Fillipe's...both great and reasonable. Everything we wanted to do was accessible by trolley, ferry or bus...we hit La Jolla, Coronado, Mission Beach, and Petco park all from our Inn. A car is a luxury that is not needed in this location. Our room had robes, dvd player, beach towels and an iron that we requested. The place was super quiet in the hallways. It felt like we were the only ones in the place....not a bad thing.
Staff was excellent...gleaned key info from them all weekend on beaches, transportation, and choices of restaurants. Very helpful.
Only watch-outs we had.....room can get hot if you leave the shades open during the day. Drain in shower was a bit slow.
Go Hogs Go.
Completely disappointing
We chose the Inn at Little Italy hoping for a quiet, comfortable, romantic place for our first no-kids weekend away in years. What a disappointment.
First of all, when we arrived around 10pm, the lobby was nice and cool, but our room was HOT. No air conditioning, except in the lobby I guess. The ceiling fan made a horrible creaking nose, so loud we couldn't sleep. We asked for a regular fan, but the one they gave us had one setting: tornado. My husband couldn't sleep through that either and ended up sitting in the hallway reading for half the night, guarding the open door to our room (which was the only way to get any cross-ventilation).
Plus, as someone else mentioned, there is no parking. We were lucky to find a spot on the street just outside the entrance, but clearly parking is hit or miss.
And breakfast was pedestrian at best.
In fact, we were so turned off that we stayed only one night instead of the planned two.
Little Slice of Heaven-shhhh-don't tell!
The Little Italy Inn is absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! From the sweet and helpful staff (Richard had even saved me a parking spot for when I came to check in), to the spotless room I was in (with a jacuzzi tub in it's own separate room), to the foam mattress I slept on--what a great stay. This really did remind me of my favorite B and B in Florence Italy--furnishings, decor, and heartfelt service were filled with warm Italian charm. And simple...a pleasant and smooth checkin process, super quiet and relaxed, and very customer service oriented. Best kept secret in Little Italy!!!!
Lovely Little Inn
At West Grape St. & State St., on the outskirts of Little Italy in San Diego. Quaint style inn. Close to the airport. Decor was pleasant. The room we stayed in reminded me of a nicer B&B in Europe. The continental breakfast was nice, but average.
If we were to stay there again, I would probably request a room not facing Grape St. The street noise is noticable. The staff was friendly. Overall, a lovely stay.
Loved the Little Italy Inn
I almost don't want to say this, for fear it will become a popular spot and I'll not be able to get a room next time!!! But, for the sake of the hotel, I have to give it an excellent rating here on tripadvisor. The Little Italy Inn was a pleasure. After walking in from a very long flight from New Hampshire, after having to wake up at 4am and face airports all day, it was a real treat to walk into the room we were given at the Little Italy. Very clean, comfortable king memory foam mattress, beautiful whirlpool in the room along with a spacious bathroom. Antique furniture, pine floors, Italian d�cor, marble and stone bathroom, oriental carpets. Very nice staff - all at the front desk were extremely pleasant and accommodating. Bianca was a sweetheart, she gave me an iron for 3 days which I really appreciated. The lobby is very clean and pretty, and the hallways are wide and spotless, decorated very nicely. The manager was lovely; he made reservations for our bus tour to Baja and called a cab for us whenever we needed one. He was very helpful when we had questions. He gave me an excellent rate too - $99 for a room with a whirlpool tub since it wasn't peak season there yet. It had a safe in the room along with a mini fridge which was great for storing drinks and treats for late night snacks. We stayed for 6 days and loved it. The location was excellent - we walked everywhere without having to rent a car. Who needs a car in San Diego anyway? You can walk anywhere from this location, except Balboa Park - which we took a $5 cab ride to when we went to the zoo. We were only a $5 cab ride from the airport too. Everything else we saw via foot or trolley. The hotel is only 4 blocks or so to the trolley and Sante Fe station which takes you around to the hot spots. The room was private, I could not hear conversations or hallway activity at all and I'm very sensitive to sound. I could hear planes since the airport is nearby, but after 10pm, flights were usually over so you couldn't hear anything during sleeping hours. I appreciated this section of San Diego, "Little Italy", because it has great Italian eateries, shops, and beautiful property that lines the streets. Very friendly locals, too. You really get the "pulse" of the city - the real San Diego - in this section of town. It's not clogged with tourists, bums, party goers or kids; which I find very stressful about staying in the more "touristy" spots in the city. In "Little Italy" you hang with the locals which was simply unbeatable. The Little Italy Inn was excellent. We'll stay there every time we visit San Diego, it was exactly what we were looking for. Clean, quaint, high ceilings, great neighborhood, boutique-feeling, non-touristy, great location, excellent front desk staff, excellent rates, no hassles with billing at all, very clean bathroom, great soap, shampoo, and products, quiet property (no swimming pool so you don't deal with screaming children which is great if you don't have kids). The other person that posted for this hotel commented that it was a ghost town, which isn't exactly true. I saw people every morning when I enjoyed the free continental breakfast in the lobby of cereal, fruit, muffins, bagels, fresh OJ, coffee, pastries, and oatmeal. I agree though that during other times, I barely saw any other hotel guests which was wonderful. I knew they were there (I passed people in the lobby, hallways, etc. from time to time) but I didn't hear anyone else so it was wonderful. We stayed for 6 days (5 nights) May 28-June 2, 2005. The earlier reviewer also mentioned the staff as detached and uncaring. Honestly, I do understand why he'd say that at first because they aren't bouncing around with enthusiasm like the big chains. The Little Italy staff is laid back and casual, friendly, but not overly and they aren't a bunch of fakes. I liked this because it was real to me. I get sick of all of these fake personalities walking around, and I found it refreshing to have a hotel staff that does whatever you ask of them at a moments notice, yet don't bubble and gush with fake sincerity. For once, I experienced a home away from home at a hotel. I applaud this Inn and rate it EXCELLENT.
I do not suggest this hotel for elderly, as there are stairs and I do not suggest this hotel for kids because there's no pool and you have to walk several blocks to attractions. But, if you're a couple or single person looking for a nice peaceful hotel with a good European feel to it, I do suggest it. It's not posh or upscale, but it is very lovely and laid back. Also, I didn't notice an ice machine or vending area, so call the hotel if this is a concern - it may have been tucked away someplace and I just overlooked it. Also, the TV in the room, although it did have a DVD player, was about 10" and positioned in the corner so you couldn't really see if from the bed unless you laid horizonally across the bed. But, it had cable and a good picture. The room windows were old and a little hard to open, but it's such a beautiful restored building that this is nothing you really get bent out of shape over. They opened and let in a lovely breeze from the Bay, which I could see from my room. You can walk right over to the Bay and eat seafood, can't beat that. I didn't notice a writing desk in the room or an internet connection, so if you're looking for web connectivity, call the hotel first before booking because it may have been there and I just didn't see it.
One last comment (I promise!!) the rate was $99 a night including a full continental breakfast. You can't beat the rate - other area hotels charge double this (or more) so give Little Italy Inn a chance, it's very nice.
Note: The room we stayed in had a whirlpool in the room, attached to the room, separate from the bath/toilet/shower room. The whirlpool easily fits 2 adults.
My complements to the hotel manager and staff.
A slice of heaven!
Needing a vacation and no time to travel far, we decided to stay in our home town and experience San Diego as a tourist. We booked 2 nights at the Little Italy Inn and had no idea how lovely it would be. To our surprise we found a beautiful 23 room inn located in the Little Italy area. Once we set foot in the hallway to go to our rooms, we couldn't believe how beautiful this inn was. We loved our room and location, but most of all the staff made us feel at home. The manager made it a point to check on us and if we needed anything he was quick to oblige. Overall our experience was delightful and I would recommend this lovely inn to any of our friends or family members. We are looking forward to staying there again in late September. I consider this inn our home away from home.
Disappointed in Little Italy B&B
Their website is quite misleading. First off, this is a HOTEL in guise of a B&B. The staff seemed detatched and uncaring. We reserved their kitchen suite, which ON-LINE clearly said to have a king-size bed with memory-foam mattress. When we got our room, it was a tiny room, queen-sized bed, and plain old spring mattress. We immediately asked about the mix-up, and the "host" said that it's kind of hit-and-miss with what's available. We asked to be moved to a better room, and he stated that they were booked. But, we only saw one other person staying there the entire time. The place was like a ghost-town. Also, we couldn't find a place to park anywhere near the "hotel." We asked the "host" where we could find a nearby lot or garage. He just said "well, I had to park over 4 blocks away and walk." Thanks, that was helpful. Oh, and here's the next complaint...we couldn't sleep for all the NOISE! The walls must be made out of the best cardboard money could buy. Not only were the walls paper-thin, the windows were single-pane. This, by the way, is a downtown "hotel", oh...and not only street traffic goes by, but it is also right under the landing zone for the nearby major airport. To add to the symphony of distraction, we could hear our neighbor next door speaking in a normal tone. Yikes. So that's the "bed" part. The "breakfast" part consisted of pastries and juice...oooohhh. Don't go out of your way or anything for my $145 bucks. We opted to leave and go to brunch at the Hotel Del. We should have stayed there instead. Nuff said.

... for anything beyond that with 5 people was a bit of a hassle.
We consider ourselves somewhat of zoo trippers having seen Adelaide, Taronga, Dubbo and Australia Zoos and were not sure that San Diego Zoo would offer much we hadn't seen before but knew that it is on the must see in San Diego and we would have been disappointed if we didn't go. We loved it and saw lots of animals we hadn't seen before up close.

Glad we got to go as we really enjoyed it.

Lovely gardens and old buildings where we had a nice coffee and wished we had longer before having to hit the road again. ...

Blue Devils fall to Heidelberg Academy
A foul shot that dropped after the final buzzer sank the Blue Devils' hopes for a state title, as Tunica Academy fell to Heidelberg Academy in the second round of the MAIS state A tournament on Feb. 17.
With the game tied at 32-all in the final seconds, Tunica fouled Heidelberg's Skyler Prunera. The Rebel shooter missed his first attempt from the foul line but sunk the second, ending the game at 33-32, a heartbreak for the Blue Devil players, coaches and fans.

There's an immeasurably deep cleavage between left and right in America, illustrated vividly in the way Americans regard the Benghazi scandal and outrage. It's in the DNA.
Democrats generally and liberals in particular can't understand what the noise from Benghazi is about, though they're willing to concede that the deaths of the American ambassador and three colleagues was a shame and maybe even a tragedy. The families of the dead deserve the nation's thoughts, and even the prayers of the guns-and-religion clingers, and if any of the families can find condolences in mass-produced cliches, they're welcome. But whatever bad happened in Benghazi was a bureaucratic failure and the word at the White House is that bureaucrats can fix it.
Republicans generally and conservatives in particular can't figure out why the ambassador and his three colleagues were allowed to twist slowly, slowly in the toxic smoke of the burning consulate, and can't understand why everyone else is not as outraged as they are. How much is a human life reckoned to be worth?
The left, which weighs everything on the scales of political expediency, can't understand why American "special operations" forces standing by in Tripoli were so eager to fly to the rescue. Liberals and lefties can't understand why, after being told to stand down, the soldiers were "furious," as Gregory N. Hicks, the No. 2 diplomat in Tripoli, eloquently described them in his testimony to the House committee inquiring into the episode. The ambassador and his colleagues died pleading for help that never came because the president's men and women were too surprised, too timid, too frightened to send it. "None of us should ever have to experience what we went through in Tripoli and Benghazi," Mr. Hicks told the panel.
Ordinary Americans have thrilled with pride to the stories of blood and flesh spent to attempt the rescue of the helpless, whether the exploits of the famous 7th Cavalry riding through heat and choking dust to save the settlers and their families on the plains, or Gen. George S. Patton's 3rd Army racing through ice and snow to relieve the 101st Airborne at Bastogne at Christmas 1944, or the Marines fighting retreat from the Chosin Reservoir in similarly frozen Korea in the winter of 1950.
Soldiers throughout the nation's history have redeemed the promise that no one will be left behind. The retreat from the reservoir, though not a triumph of arms, is rightly regarded as a special moment in the history of the Marine Corps. The photographs and newsreel footage of the Marines bringing out their wounded and frozen dead, stacked on their tanks, are iconic reminders of the debt fighting men owe to each other. Somebody tried.
The besieged defenders of Bastogne owed their rescue to Patton, often reckless and always spoiling for a fight. The Americans were trapped at Bastogne, having been ambushed by the Germans in a last attempt to force a negotiated surrender. They seemed on the lip of success. Patton promised the skeptical Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the supreme allied commander in Europe, that he could turn his three divisions around overnight and fight their way more than a hundred miles to the rescue: "The kraut's got his head stuck in a meat grinder, and this time I've got hold of the handle." Ike gave the word, Patton gave the order, and Bastogne was soon relieved. Thousands of Americans were saved and the Germans never again mounted a sustained offensive. Somebody tried.
This is the lesson of the fighting spirit that seems no longer prized in certain precincts in Washington. There's no evidence that this White House appreciates courage, reckless or otherwise, and the can-do spirit that saves causes otherwise lost. Barack Obama prefers to lead from behind. He'll take the credit if everything works out OK — and if nothing good works out, he'll make a nice speech (though lately even his gift of gab has departed from him). He's willing to mock the guns-and-religion clingers and still hasn't figured out where the nation's enemies are.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, celebrated at the Clinton White House for throwing lamps and for her contempt for anyone in uniform, has always had trouble recognizing enemies, too. (She thought it was the vast right-wing conspiracy in the media.)
Maybe we can't blame these folks. It's in the DNA. But a nation won't long survive inability to recognize enemies and indifference to incompetence. It has to defend itself from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Let the investigations begin.
