Tanja Becker-Bender / BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra / Garry Walker
The Romantic Violin Concerto Volume 16
- Type CD
- Label Hyperion
- Catalog number CDA 68044
- Release date 12 September 2014
About the album
German violinist Tanja Becker-Bender returns to the Romantic Violin Concerto series having dazzled the critics with her 'great lyrical force and tremendous sense of drama' in her recording of the Reger concerto. Here she appears with Hyperion house band the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Garry Walker, in Volume 16: concertos by Busoni and Strauss, each composer's only example of the genre.
In D major, the key of Beethoven's and Brahms's violin concertos, Busoni's Violin Concerto is clearly intended to continue their lineage—significantly, Busoni wrote cadenzas for both of them—although it never descends into mere imitation. Although it uses quite a large orchestra, it is transparently scored, with plenty of Italianate cantilena for the soloist. Also included is Busoni's transcription of the Benedictus from Beethoven's Missa solemnis, which brings the solo violin to the fore, with instrumental obbligati representing the vocal contributions.
The seventeen-year-old Strauss wrote his Violin Concerto in 1881–2, during his final year at the Ludwigsgymnasium. The work was dedicated to Strauss's violin teacher Benno Walter (1847–1901), concertmaster of the Bavarian Court Orchestra. The work is fairly unknown on the concert platform; as Tully Potter writes in his booklet notes, Tanja Becker- Bender's interpretation should win it new friends.

NHL: Calgary 4, Vancouver 3
November 28, 2008
Mike Cammalleri's first career hat trick followed by Curtis Glencross's game-winner carried Calgary to a 4-3 win over Vancouver Thursday.
Glencross scored with 6:13 remaining on a high backhander against Canucks goalie Curtis Sanford after stealing a pass in the Vancouver zone.
Calgary goalie Miikka Kiprusoff made 27 saves for the Flames, who have won four of five.
The Canucks, whose four-game win streak came to an end, got goals from Mason Raymond, Daniel Sedin and Darcy Hordichuk.
Sanford made 29 saves. It was his second start in place of Roberto Luongo, who is nursing a groin strain.

So true that sound quality is a huge issue with both camcorders and DLSRS. Poor sound can just about overcome great video quality. I have shot thousands of hours of video over the years, and wrote the following article about microphones for video.

this set is amazing. the pliers are less than heavy duty, but not terribly cheap. the sockets themselves are great, i use them with impact guns, the heaviest duty ive used them for was to replace leaf springs on a 1997 e150. super rusted bolts. i used the pittsburgh pro ratcheting as well as the extra long non ratcheting breaker bars, it took almost an hour, some torching as well as extensive spray lube, but it did the trick, almost 400lbs of leverage (as well as hammering down on the end of the bars with a 5lb hammer) on the bars and sockets and the bolts popped right off, same scenario with the control arms. the tools didnt even flinch!!it took the abuse and was yelling for more!i only bought a second set because some scumbags broke into my van and stole the first set ive had.the ratchets included are also tuff stuff, i had to change serpentine belts, and those handles doubled as belt tools, can withstand high torque and leverage.get it using the %25 off c/pon and the set is that much sweeter.i dont know what set others here are badmouthing, but its not the same set!i do agree that the case design needs to be tweaked, esp since all the sockets come out of place when you drop, move or even carry the set without the foam pads.fix that, and improve on the plier quality, also add a slightly bigger range of wrench sizes, also the scredriver that has the built in screw catch needs some quality improving; and you have the ultimate mechanics set on the same level as other sets costing even thousands more! most definetly recommend!

Upon opening and critical inspection of the sockets I noted they are not the same as Harbor Freight's individually sold socket sets (Chrome Vanadium and the color coded sets) that a badged with the Pittsburgh name. Fit and finish is not the same and I doubt they are made in the same factory. The name Pittsburgh does not appear on any of the sockets or other tools. Engraving of sizes on sockets uses small hard to read type which is clearly a giveaway that these are cheaper and inferior sockets. I would make the same claim for the socket wrenches which seem really cheap although I did not make any severe torque tests to see of the ratchets fail easily. I was fooled into buying this sets by the Truckin mag review plus familiarity with Harbor Freight individually sold socket sets that are of useable quality. There is no comparison in quality and this set should not be badged as Pittsburgh at all as it is low quality generic tools sold at a price which matches the quality. The rest of the kit (non socket tools) is really junk. This might be useful to the casual home owner that will not use it much but anyone who ever had the experience to work with good quality tools will immediately be disappointed the instant they hold one of the sockets in their hands. I need to put together another complete set of socket wrenches but I will wait until I get coupons or sales come up so I can get the higher quality socket sets that HF sells and just buy all the sets to get the complete range of sizes. Of all the reviews I have read here I am surprised that no one else came to my conclusion about socket quality and easy readability of the size engraving? I bought my set in early 2014 and returned it but I doubt quality has changed any since then but it may perhaps be possible.

Incredible deal - GET IT

About Me Professional
Hands down, the best tool set for the money. From the case to the sockets (worth the price for that alone)this set is amazing. I'm wondering how they do it for this price. Definitely needing a good wrench set to go with this. That is the only downside. Otherwise, amazing. A definite YES.

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
After years of throwing tools into several small tool boxes and never being able to find anything, I decided I would start fresh with a new tool box and new set of tools. I decided on this set of tools for the price, variety, and excellent reviews. Upon receiving the set, I broke the box apart into trays and placed them in my new HF 56" rolling toolbox. One tray was too thick so I chopped it down on my table saw so now three trays fit perfectly into one tool box drawer. The socket set on this baby is extensive and contains all the sockets I will ever need. Three out of four trays on this thing were sockets. The wrench set that comes along this set is inadequate. I augmented this with the HF long handle wrench set for like $20. Beautiful wrenches I must add. The pliers and screwdrivers are good but the rest of the tools like the hex wrenches and jewlers screwdrivers more or less suck. Bottom line, the socket set alone is well worth the price of this set because I do believe they are good quality. Anything useful beyond that is just gravy. Overall, I like this set so much I am buying another one to keep in my RV.

Nice tools at a nice price
By brownie64
from Indiana
With the exception of the wrenches, and the sturdiness of the outside of the case these are very good quality tools especially the sockets, and ratchets. The ratchets have a real sensitive mechanism which really helps in those tight situations where fractions of an inch matter nothing worse than not being able to get a click or a bite do to having to move the ratchet too much. The screwdrivers are not the highest quality but for the price they are right on. The wrenches on the other hand are low quality, and there isn't enough range so be prepared to buy some more wrenches. The case as I said is a little too thin on the outside, and the slightest drop is going to leave a dent. That being said I love the convenience of it. For the backyard mechanic, or a mechanic looking for some backup tools this set can't be beat, and I highly recommend it.

I ordered this set to do small to medium size repairs on my car. While I haven't had an opportunity to do so yet, there is not doubt that these tools can do the job. After careful examination of all of the tools, I am truly confident that I wont have any trouble with repairs.

It is also not uncommon for women to experience a change in their foot size during pregnancy. "A permanent growth in a women's foot, up to half a size, can occur from the release of the same hormone, relaxin, that allows the pelvis to open to deliver the baby. It makes the ligaments in your feet more flexible, causing feet to spread wider and longer," Dr. Crane adds.
Pregnancy and pending motherhood should be a joy. If foot pain persists, a visit to a foot and ankle surgeon can provide relief with conservative treatments such as physical therapy, foot orthotics, supportive shoes and minor toenail procedures.
For more information on foot and ankle problems, visit FootHealthFacts.org.
The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons is a professional society of 6,000 foot and ankle surgeons. Founded in 1942, the College's mission is to promote research and provide continuing education for the foot and ankle surgical specialty, and to educate the general public on foot health and conditions of the foot and ankle through its consumer Web site, FootHealthFacts.org.

With Kawasaki's release of its sports quad, the KFX450R, all of the big four Japanese manufacturers will once again be represented in the ATV race scene.
Anyone Remember The 3-Wheeler?
Just like with the 450cc motocross ranks, Kawasaki is once again last to the table with their race ready ATV- the KFX450R, which is due out later this year as an early 2008 model. Longtime readers (or sufferers, as the case may be) of this column will no doubt already be aware of the fact that when conditions get a bit nasty on the streets, I can be found playing in the dirt. Needless to say, I've been anticipating the Kawasaki's appearance with great interest as it signifies the last of the big four Japanese manufacturers to finally return to the ATV race scene in force.
I feel a brief lesson in history and politics are in order before I continue rambling, as the twisted path leading up to this development deserves a little attention. Our lesson begins with the first ATV to put the sport on the map - the three-wheeler (all mullet jokes aside). There was a time back in the early 1980s where ATVs (three-wheelers in particular) earned the same kind of factory attention that their two-wheeled cousins have been enjoying right along. The American Motorcycle Association actually took the quickly developing sport seriously enough to assemble the American All-Terrain Vehicle Association (AATVA) back in 1985 with the intention of focusing entirely on an ATV race series/ championship title.
What happened next was nothing shy of disastrous in terms of society's awareness of All Terrain Vehicles. In 1986 the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued the kiss of death for three-wheelers by releasing the results of a two-year investigation into the reasons behind unfavorably high statistics of bodily injury to ATV riders. Surprisingly, their results blamed improper rider behavior and a disregard for manufacturer warnings as the prime culprit (not flaws in the three-wheeler's design as was originally suspected).
The same year witnessed the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) come under fire by the Consumer Federation of America to ban the production and sale of any and all ATVs in the United States due to an increase in consumer safety violations. The manufacturers did what they could to reach a compromise to the outlandish requests being made.
On April 29, 1988, U.S. ATV distributors had finally come to terms and had entered into a 10-year agreement with the CPSC called the "Final Consent Decree." Under this agreement the ATV industry was asked to drop $100 million in expanding safety programs which included offering free training courses and incentives. Also, thanks to this agreement, ATVs wear more warning stickers and labels than any other form of recreational vehicle (even today). From that point forward, distributors were no longer allowed to market three-wheel ATVs (and the manufacturers were instructed to actually buy back unsold dealer inventory).
Three-wheelers like the ATC 250R took the rap for unfavorably high statistics of bodily injury to ATV riders that led the models fade into obscurity.
Suffice to say it was at this point in time that the world would say goodbye to the factory-sponsored ATV race team. The manufacturers simply couldn't battle it out with insurance companies who pointed the finger of blame directly at the manufacturers themselves rather than the consumer's use of poor judgment that resulted in injury-causing accidents. Once the insurance companies got their wish to ban three-wheelers, the AATVA's days were numbered as well. The association folded shortly thereafter in 1988.
From 1988 all the way until the early part of the next century, ATV racing had all but dried up from an OEM standpoint. With wounds still fresh from the attacks on them in the mid-1980s, the manufacturers had actually swayed their efforts in the complete opposite direction. Entire sport/ performance lines vanished from showrooms and the United States entered into a period of flourishing 4x4 and utility ATV sales. Quad racing still existed throughout this era on local through professional ranks but did so without the support of the manufacturers. Racers were forced to purchase fairly antiquated equipment (such as Honda's legendary 250R) and put literally thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars worth of modification into the machinery to be competitive. Worse still was that a lack of factory support meant no contingency money for racers and lower paying purses as events at the time weren't backed by factory sponsorship.
Now here it is nearly 20 years after the fall of the AATVA and the big four have made a full return to the ATV race scene. The pace began to pick up back in 2001 when the AMA took notice to the re-emergence of the sport/ performance class through models such as the Bombardier DS650, the Yamaha Raptor 660, and the Suzuki LTZ-400. With stock equipment gracing dealership floors, it wasn't long before the extinguished embers of the quad race scene began to again smolder with interest. The AMA Board of Directors was wise enough to recognize consumer interest and form the ATVA (All Terrain Vehicle Association) and the manufacturers themselves began to realize that perhaps the ATV race market could be salvaged after all.
The AMA plans to lauch a Pro ATV Motocross Championship for 2007 with a 12-round season starting in March at Mill Creek in Pell City, AL.
Within the proceeding six years we have witnessed Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, and now Kawasaki raise the bar with dedicated 450cc race-quads and with them contingency programs and true paying championships. The AMA, which just so happens to be the leading sanctioning body for motorcycle sport in the U.S., plans to launch a Pro ATV Motocross Championship for 2007, promising the same level of support as their other pro racing series. At the time of this article's writing a 12-round season schedule has been released with Round 1 expected to take place March 10/11 at Mill Creek in Pell City, AL.
ATV racers of today have much to be grateful for as it appears the 19-year drought seems to be nearly at an end with a monsoon of recent activity. As a racer who struggled through those years of hoping and anticipating a return of manufacturer support, I am reminded of the logic behind the tried and true saying: It's better late than never.

Yes, I think it would. I did that in a hollow in my garden, used sods of lawn I was digging out to make a flower bed. But they might be dislodged by rotovator.
Good luck and hugs Clari. My son has been really worried for the past year as the firm he worked for has been steadily going bankrupt. And his wife is expecting a baby the end of the month. But he was approached by another similar firm and offered a job with the prospect of becoming managing director in 4 years when the other retires. Such a relief, my son now looks happy and the new job is better paid without the tension.
Morning all. That's lovely Lily, wish they would pop up in my garden, cowslip country here, not primroses.
Been some serious talk on here. I'm reading the Call the Midwife books and some of the conditions for the poor in the past were appalling. They worried about enough food of any kind, whether they were warm at night (often weren't), whether they had shoes or a warm coat. Imagine just cold water and a loo in the yard for several families with newspaper for you know what and doing the washing, especially nappies, without a machine.
Why people don't eat their 5 a day nowadays is often just that they don't like veg and would prefer doughnuts and cake and chips. I have often seen children in cafés being given a plate of chips and a hamburger, no veg at all unless you count ketchup. Those children will grow up not knowing about a healthy diet. Education is important.
I'm very lucky having enough room to grow most of my own veg.
Have a lovely day, look forward to hearing about it.
This is what the RHS says -
Brugmansia were once known as Datura, but that name is now used only for certain annual or short-lived plants with similar but less pendulous flowers.
Mine are well away now. Here's today's bunch.
Hello Sue. So sorry about your files and photos. I suppose you didn't have a back up. Best to put them on a disc, I think, my OH deals with it.
I hope you enjoy Cornwall, there are some lovely gardens there. Thank you for keeping in touch.
There is a little nursery near Eastbourne that has several varieties, but that's no good for Verdun! Harlow Carr garden in Yorkshire had them too, even further for Verdun!
WW, or do you prefer Woody, when I water pots I don't use the sprinkly thing either, doesn't give a good enough soak, but I find just the end of the hose is too forceful as my hoses have Gardena joining things on them, so I put the end of the hosepipe into a watering can without a rose and water from the can pulling the hose pipe with me.
The house sitter didn't water the roses in pots enough and they have suffered a bit.
We wanted to see a garden near Worcester last week, but it had closed to the public 5 years ago although it was still on Google. So we thought we'd go to Spetchley Park, but it was Monday and the garden was closed. Went and wandered round Tewkesbury instead.

In this morning class you will learn to work a right twisting cable and a left twisting cable. Once you understand how to work these two basic cables you will be able to work many other cable patterns as the different cables are developed by crossing different numbers of stitches with different numbers of rows between. If there is time we will briefly look at charts that are often used with cable patterns. 2013-01-21T13:52:00Z Workshop Saturday 11th May 2013 - Finishing Off Techniques Part 1 http://www.packlanewool.co.uk tag:www.packlanewool.co.uk,2013-01-21:default/1358776020000 2013-01-21T13:47:00Z 2013-01-21T13:47:00Z 10.00am - 4.00pm £40.00 In this workshop we will look at different methods of casting on and casting off to give garments a better finish, picking up stitches for a neckline and buttonholes. 2013-01-21T13:47:00Z Workshop Saturday 16th March 2013 - Lace Knitting Sample Scarf http://www.packlanewool.co.uk tag:www.packlanewool.co.uk,2013-01-21:default/1358775900000 2013-01-21T13:45:00Z 2013-01-21T13:45:00Z 10.00am - 4.00pm £40.00 Lace knitting has increased in popularity over recent years particularly when used to knit fine lace shawls using lace weight yarn and small needles, but lace does not have to be knitted in fine yarn on small needles, it can be knitted in any yarn. In this workshop we will be covering the basic technique of knitting lace and also look at how lace patterns are written and charted, by knitting a lace sampler.

It can be useful to be able to knit with yarn in either hand e.g. when working stranded knitting but it can also help if you find your current style of knitting causes repetitive stress problems and many people find they can also knit faster using the Continental method. 2013-01-21T13:44:00Z Workshop Saturday 18th May 2013 - Finishing Off Techiques Part 2 http://www.packlanewool.co.uk tag:www.packlanewool.co.uk,2013-01-21:default/1358775660000 2013-01-21T13:41:00Z 2013-01-21T13:41:00Z FINISHING OFF TECHIQUES PART 2 10am - 4.00pm £40.00 In this workshop we will look at a variety of ways to seam your knitting for a professional finish.

So this is my cable cushion in Wendy Thor Super Chunky. Knitted over 20 stitches - I used the Clover Cable needle. I have to say that the Wendy Thor yarn is very quick to knit up, and would be a wonderful project if you have never tried cable before, and would like to give it a go.

I do love cable, it's such a lovely stitch to use. The cushion only took me two days, so christmas pressie for the family here I come. (I hope they do not read this) Also so many lovely colours to choose from! The one I knitted I think I will give to my mum, now it's just trying to decide on what colour to do next....... oh so many to choose!!!

We are looking forward to a fun-filled Fall with new classes starting soon! Stop in for an evaluation and recommendations to find the best class for your dog!
On September 12, 2010, the Zoom Room Hollywood will open its doors to celebrate the social aspect of dog ownership throughout Los Angeles.
Newfoundlands, Labradors and Golden Retrievers save drowning swimmers in Italy.
When USA Today decided to feature an article on the increasing demand among pet owners for ever more elaborate dog tricks, they turned to the Zoom Room's top dog trainer Jaime Van Wye as their expert source.
Getty Images, the repository of our collective visual world, has selected our mascot, Clyde, and one of our wonderful Zoom Room clients, Zingo, a Goldendoodle (and his owner, Mikaela, an incredible pro golfer) to reside in their illustrious library.
Jaime Van Wye, founder of the Zoom Room, is interviewed on the popularity of the Skateboarding Dog. Teaching your dog to skateboard is part of Tricks Training class, and also something you can try right at home.
Fox Wire Terrier Ronnie was named Hero Dog of the Year by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Los Angeles on May 4, 2010.
On June 4th and 5th, the Zoom Room will host a special Dog Agility Park for celebrity MTV Movie Award attendees and their lucky four-legged friends at the Chaz Dean Studio in Hollywood.
FIRST PLACE WINNER in the America's Best Dog Trick Contest! Jesse the Jack Russell Terrier began learning tricks through the motivation of tasty lunch meat. And when he was only nine weeks old, he taught himself how to sit up!
Your votes have been counted, and we're delighted to announce the five finalists in the America's Best Dog Trick Contest in support of positive dog training.
Victor, a four-year-old Poodle, was picked up as a stray by an animal shelter in Worcester. He was then adopted by American Poodles at Work (APAW) where he met his owner, Sharon. Watch their entry in the America's Best Dog Trick Contest.
Jilli Dog, a Yorkie, was rescued from the streets as a sickly, messy little pup, almost 11 years ago by her owner, Rick. She has gone on to become a most amazing little pooch, making many people smile with her dog trick performances.
Kaine is a three year old, clicker trained, award-winning German Shepherd. Kaine's favorite trick is painting. He loves to create original pieces of art with his imagination.
Charlie is a "demo" Service Dog for APAW (American Poodles at Work), and accompanies his owner, Jillian, when she speaks to groups about the importance of assistance dogs. Charlie demonstrates many tasks, from turning on lights, to retrieving keys or a phone, or opening doors. He also really loves taking things out of bags… and sometimes putting things into bags where they don't quite belong.
Ryleigh, a 9-month-old German Shepherd, was trained using positive reinforcement by her owner, Jess, for this entry in the America's Best Dog Trick Contest.

Latest Accretion disc Stories
XMM-Newton has uncovered a well-tuned periodic signal from a super-massive black hole lodged at the centre of a galaxy, ending a long quest for such an object.
For the first time, a team of international researchers has found a way to view the accretion disks surrounding black holes and verify that their true electromagnetic spectra match what astronomers have long predicted they would be.
XMM-Newton has been surprised by a rare type of galaxy, from which it has detected a higher number of X-rays than thought possible. The observation gives new insight into the powerful processes shaping galaxies during their formation and evolution.
Disks of hot gas that accumulate around a wide variety of astronomical objects—from degenerate stars in energetic binary systems to supermassive black holes at the hearts of active galaxies—are likely to be much larger than previously believed.
Astronomers are hunting an elusive target: rogue black holes that have been ejected from the centers of their home galaxies.
Scientists have measured a stellar-mass black hole spinning so rapidly - turning more than 950 times per second - that it pushes the predicted speed limit for rotation.
In the distant, young universe, quasars shine with a brilliance unmatched by anything in the local cosmos. Although they appear starlike in optical telescopes, quasars are actually the bright centers of galaxies located billions of light-years from Earth.
Thanks to data from ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, a team of scientists taking a closer look at an object discovered over 25 years ago have found that it is like none other known in our galaxy.
Black holes are lighting up the Universe, and now astronomers may finally know how. New data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory show for the first time that powerful magnetic fields are the key to these brilliant and startling light shows.
Astrophysicists at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have exploded one of two competing theories about how stars form inside immense clouds of interstellar gas.
Latest Accretion disc Reference Libraries
Cosmogony -- Cosmogony is the study of the origins of celestial objects. It is most commonly used to refer to the study of the origin of the solar system. Currently, the most widely accepted theory is that the solar system was formed roughly 5 billion years ago with the collapse of a nebula of gas and dust, likely caused by shock waves generated by a nearby supernova. The solar system would have formed as a member of a star cluster, now long-since dispersed throughout the Milky Way over...
X-ray Burster -- X-ray bursters are a class of binary stars which are luminous in X-rays. They contain a neutron star and a low-mass companion star. The companion fills its Roche lobe and therefore the neutron star is accreting matter from it. The inflowing gas forms an accretion disk around the neutron star. Sometimes X-ray bursters show a sudden increase in their X-ray luminosity, called X-ray burst. All properties of the X-ray bursts can be explained assuming that they result from...
Seyfert Galaxy -- Seyfert galaxies are spiral or irregular galaxies containing an extremely bright nucleus, most likely caused by a supermassive black hole, that can sometimes outshine the surrounding galaxy. The light from the central nucleus varies in less than a year, which implies that the emitting region must be less than one light year across. They are named for the astronomer Carl Seyfert, who studied them extensively in the 1940s. They are a subclass of active galactic nuclei....
Microquasar -- Microquasars are smaller cousins of quasars. They are named after quasars, as they have some common characteristics: strong and variable radio emission often seen as radio jets, and an accretion disk surrounding a black hole. In quasars, the black hole is supermassive (millions of solar masses) as in microquasars, the black hole mass is a few solar masses. In microquasars, the accreted mass comes from a normal star and the accretion disk is very luminous in optical regions...
Accretion Disk -- An accretion disk is a structure formed by material falling into a gravitational source. Conservation of angular momentum requires that, as a large cloud of material collapses inward, any small rotation it may have will increase. Centrifugal force causes the rotating cloud to collapse into a disk, and tidal effects will tend to align this disk's rotation with the rotation of the gravitational source in the center. Friction between the particles of the disk generates heat...

It's a historic building with an invaluable art collection.
Their claim to have a pool is ludicrous.
Very helpful with luggage very pleasant n friendly. Location was lovely
We didn't have any wash cloths in our room and hotel couldn't find any
The location was great and most of the staff was friendly. Also like the rooftop restaurant on top.
No coffee or any small kitchen like availability in the room or lobby. Also had a very rude evening front desk associate. He wasn't pleasant or welcoming to talk to. Too busy watching YouTube to help is. The 1 soda machine was also sold out.
It was dirty. I found underwear on the windowsill. The room was nothing like what it looks like on the website. It is in front of the beach but you can't even get in the water. I wouldn't go back there again.
Nice people beautiful staff nice place near everything good price clean suit awesome poil and good breakfast
I liked the location close to my parent's house. The breakfast included on the price was excellent. The 24 snack bar had variety and the food was fresh. The staff was very nice and polite. The room was always clean. Thank you
I would have liked the garage included on my price. The gym needs antibacterial sprays to clean equipment after you work out.
Perfect location in the heart of Old San Juan. Close to shops, bars, restaurants and the cruise ship port. Cozy little boutique hotel, with everything you need for a short stay.
Late check in and early check out, a tad inconvenient.
Staff was very kind and friendly. Super clean. Can't beat the location. A great little inn for people that prefer old world character over plastic cookie cutter chain hotels. Would highly recommend.
Friendly staff, all in good condition, everything is new. The location is in the San Juan convention center district, we book it for a convention and we walk to all the activities. Nice view to the harbor and the cruise line. If you are traveling to take a cruise (Royal Caribbean terminal) it just right there. Overall is a 4 star hotel.
Everything was so unbelievably great. The staff was awesome, the views were spectacular, the water sports were on point, proximity to the center of old san juan and condado center. extreme value for the money.
The Condado Plaza is a great bargain to escape the Winter blues and the excessive snows of the northeast. The staff is pleasant and helpful. When we first arrived and checked in, the room we were assigned had a defective AC unit and it was a humid swamp. I went to the front desk and explained the problem and was immediately moved to another room with working AC. The front desk staff was polite and personal.
The hotel needs updating. It appears to have had a renovation in many of the public areas and the rooms. Those areas have a boutique hotel vibe, but the carpet in the hallways of the room floors need to be replaced.
Good location and hotel looks great
The bedding. The sheets were really dirty and if you pull the comforter up to the light you can see all the dust and deadskin That has been collecting into the comforter and it is digusting.
Staying there
Great location, beach, view of laguna and ocean. Close by recreation areas like Velauno.
Old building, rooms need remodeling.
1. Small broken piece of roof under bed
2. Stained shower floor
Excellent room and amenities.The staff was very helpful with finding some great eats (off the beaten path) andthe roof terrace was amazing! Free espresso too (never hurts!)Location is perfect for exploring Old San Juan too!
Great location, right in old San Juan. Casino was fun at night. Rooftop pool was fun during the day.
No view from our room, but that wasn't a big deal.
The hotel was very convenient. It is walking distance from the cruise port and the rest of Old San Juan. Staff very friendly.
Wonderful service, style and ambience. Would go back in a heartbeat!
All Staff members we met were friendly and eager to please. The proximity to the beach, restaurants, and Old San Juan makes it an ideal location.
The lobby bathrooms were not always clean or had enough supplies. Pool areas need more attention in reference to being cleaned more often, such as dirty towels and plates and cups of food and beverage.
Gave us access to Isla Verde Marriott courtyard facilities as well. Staff was great! Across the street from a supermarket, near plenty of restaurants.
Hotel menu was unimpressive, pool area not attached to the beach, but really there is a ton to like about this hotel!
Customer service
House keeping. They took too long to clean our floor.
Front desk folks were nice and helpfuL for the morning shift.
the tv in our room did not work. Night shift person would not come take a look. Coffee machine only worked part of the time.
Front desk people were very polite, fun and helpful.

Thank you so much to Bill and Jason from Closet Designs and More for our fantastic new master closet! Bill worked with us to get the best design based on our needs. He was readily available and... worked with our schedule to get the installation done. There was a small amount of damage noted during the installation to one of the drawers. Jason made sure that it was replaced without any problem in a timely manner. They were both great to work with! I would highly recommend Bill Fletcher and Jason Ianitello from Closet Designs and More!VIEW MORE »VIEW LESS »
I just love my new closet! Jason was so friendly and got us the closet design that we wanted. We are glad that we decided on Closet Designs and More! Thanks Again, Leilani
We made a major downsize move and storage was very limited. Bill designed very functional closets for the whole house and the garage. Great designs, fair price, and terrific service.

I never ever write reviews although I read them often. But Bill deserves an exception. I had just purchased our new home and wanted to get the closets early in our move. I had another closet person come out first to see the space and give me design and pricing. I then saw Closet Design and More on the internet and contacted Bill. He is the owner, he picked up the phone and he scheduled to come see me the next day. He was extremely professional he had the plans and design done before he left my house. The reason why I'm writing this review was that in order for me to get the closets done in the timeframe I wanted I had to commit to the design by a certain date for him to get the order filled in time. I had an extremely hard time getting my husband to take the time to review the plans to approve his closet design. So the day the plans had to be approved at 6am waiting at the airport terminal I got my husband to look at the plans. He had a few questions and I fired off email to Bill thinking i'd miss the deadline. He emailed back in minutes. We exchanged several emails at that early morning timeframe and was able to get the materials ordered. It all installed without any issues. The quality of the closet is great, very well made and sturdy all at a great price, lifetime warranty.Because he is the owner and designer he is committed to his business. I would highly recommend him. The final plus he followed up with me about a month later to make sure I was pleased with everything.J
I just had my Closets done on March 27th/2015. After being impressed by Bill from the initial consultation,i was really WOWED by the great price. These Guyz are sent from Heaven above,i am so amazed by the Quality Top Notch Job these guyz have done on my closets for the low..Great Customer Service and they believes in being on time... I was not treated just like any other client, They actually made me a priority. I cant stop looking at my Closets... Special Thanks to Bill And Jason
I love my new closet. Jason was so great to work with and it was a great and easy process. I would highly recommend Closet Design and More...

We were extremely pleased with our custom closets. They are beautiful and we are now able to keep things very organized. We were able to see the designs on the computer in 3-D, which made it very easy to know exactly what they would look like once they were installed. The installers were professional, punctual and very easy to work with. They cleaned up after themselves and made the whole process very easy. We are very happy that we chose Closet Designs and More.

We built a new home and this was the most positive experience. Great customer service - great product.
I can not say enough good things about Closet Designs! Bill was very accommodating to my schedule, he brought his laptop with him and I had the design before he left. He installed 3 custom closets in my home and they look wonderful! I got three quotes and his was the best with the best quality product as well. Will definitely use them again !
I have recently installed a Master Bedroom custom closet and these guys are absolutely exceptional in every way. The sales manager and owners paid me personal attention and really wanted me to be happy. They are patient, professional, honest, the installers were truly wonderful. I can't sing the praises of this team enough to do them justice. Thanks so much!!!!!
I got quotes from 4 closet companies before selecting Closet Designs and More. They worked with me to design the closet of my dreams while allowing me to stay on budget. The results are amazing! I highly recommend.
I went online and got quotes from several companies. I was basically shooting in the dark and trying to figure out design concepts. This company's site was easy to navigate but more importantly the owner was very responsive and offered to drive over to my condo to see first hand what suggestions he might have. He was full of valuable advise, clearly based on years of experience. Its all about the details and with this company they get them right. Shelving is a couple of inches deeper, hardware is sturdy, options for finishes plentiful. Delivery was one week ahead of schedule and the build out team was friendly, courteous and very efficient. I am pretty handy but gladly turned this project over to the pros at Closet Designs

A digital filter for pulse code modulation signals employs interpolation. A digital filter can handle a multiplicity of multiplexed pulse code modulation channels.
1. A digital filter for filtering a plurality of pulse code modulation signals appearing on separate input lines comprising:
sampling means for sampling each said input line in succession;
analog to digital means for sequentially converting the samples from said sampling means into digital form;
a plurality of serially connected single stage registers wherein the number of registers is equal to the number of said input lines, having the input to said plurality of serially connected registers connected to the output of said analog to digital means;
an adder means having one input connected to the output of said plurality of serially connected registers and a second input connected to the output of said analog to digital means for adding successive samples from a common one of said input lines and for adding samples from a different one of said input lines in succession;
a dividing means responsive to the output from said adder for averaging the output from said adder by dividing said adder output by two; and
digital to analog means for converting the averaged signal from said divider into analog form.
The present invention relates to digital data filters and more particularly to digital data filters for processing pulse code modulation signals.
With the rapid growing use of digital data systems and in particular pulse code modulation systems, the need for effective digital filtering has been steadily increasing.
The present invention provides a method of interpolating pulse code modulation signals as they are received as a stream of data, and producing from the stream a filtered stream of output signals. The present invention performs this filtering by interpolation on a multiplicity of multiplexed channels.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved digital filter for pulse code modulation signals.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a digital filter for pulse code modulation signals which accomplishes the filtering by interpolation on multiplexed channels.
These and other objects of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a, single channel sample data system, preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a series of wave forms taken at different points in the system illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a, multiplexed sample data system, preferred embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 4 is a series of waveforms taken at different points in the system illustrated in FIG. 3.
While this invention is susceptible of embodiments in many different forms, there is shown in the drawings and will herein be described in detail, embodiments of the invention with the understanding that the present disclosures are to be considered as exemplifications of the principals of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention to the embodiments illustrated. The scope of the invention will be pointed out in the appended claims.
FIG. 1 illustrates a simple single channel sample data system. An input analog waveform shown in FIG. 2 is sampled by an input sampler 10. The output of the sampler 10 is a pulse train as illustrated in FIG. 2. This input digital pulse train is transferred to an analog to digital converter 11, which converter converts the input sample pulses to a digital form of pulse code modulation (PCM). The analog to digital converter 11 is connected to an interpolator generally indicated at 12 by a dashed line. Each PCM signal transferred from the analog to digital converter 11 to the interpolator 12 represents an instantaneous value of the input analog waveform taken at a sampling instant. The interpolator 12 serves as a digital filter to operate on this numerical sequence. The interpolator 12 comprises a one stage register 21, an adder 30 and a divider 31 connected in series. The input to the interpolator 12 is connected to the register 21 and to the adder 30 to add the PCM numbers present at the input and at the output of the register 21. The register is loaded by a sampling clock 20 which is synchronized to the input samples. The numerical sequence is delayed one sampling interval by the register 21. The result is to add adjacent samples in the numerical sequence. The output of the adder is then divided by two by the divider 31. Thus, the sequence is interpolated over two sample values by the familiar expression:
as shown in FIG. 2, the first input sample pulse is a -2 followed by a +4. This results in an output of 1. The +4 is followed by a -7 which results in -1.5. The -7 is followed by a -1 which results in a -4. The series of interpolator signals produce a numerical sequence of PCM output signals which are transferred to a digital to analog converter 15. The converter 15 produces a sequence of voltage pulses forming a sampled output signal as illustrated in FIG. 2. The sampled output signal is transferred to an output sampler 16. The sampled waveform from sampler 16 passes through a smoothing filter 17 which filter produces a smooth analog waveform at its output as illustrated in FIG. 2. This output analog waveform is similar to that of the input waveform but is filtered and interpolated by the interpolator 12.
FIG. 3 shows a three channel sample data system which is similar to the system shown in FIG. 1 with the exception of the interpolator 112. Significant reduction in circuitry is made possible by time sharing elements of the digital filter. Time shared data is easily handled by the samplers and by the converters since the data is received and transmitted sequentially by these circuits. However, sharing of a digital filter is difficult because of the memory required for its implementation. The elements of FIG. 3 which correspond to the elements of FIG. 1 are assigned identification numbers in the hundred series corresponding to the elements of FIG. 1 in the ten series.
The interpolator 112 provides a technique for time sharing digital filter arithmetic logic by the use of simple shift registers. Three or more waveforms, each on a different channel, are illustrated in FIG. 4. The sampling rate of the system illustrated in FIG. 3 is three times that of the sampling rate of the system in FIG. 1 to accommodate the two additional channels. The numerical sequence now contains samples of the three different channels. Single shift register 21 has been replaced by a shift register memory consisting of shift registers 121, 122 and 123 connected in series as illustrated in FIG. 3. The memory is then connected in series with the adder 130 and the divider 131 as further illustrated in FIG. 3. An input to the interpolator 112 is connected to the register 121 and the adder 130 so that, when a signal is received for a given multiplexed channel, both that signal and the previous signal from that channel, such as Channel 1, are simultaneously received by the adder 130 and are added. Since the number of shift registers corresponds to the number of channels of analog waveforms being received and processed, the proper last PCM signal is transferred to the adder 130 at the same time the next PCM signal for that channel is received at the input of the interpolator.
The divider 131 performs the usual division of shifting the binary point left one bit and trunkating the least significant bit. The output of the interpolator 112 is then fed through a digital to analog converter 115 to produce the output pulse signals illustrated in FIG. 4. These signals are in turn processed by an output sampler 116 which, in addition to transforming them into analog waveforms, redistributes them on three different channels, each of which has respective individual analog filters 117-119. The smoothed analog waveform output of filters 117-119 are illustrated in FIG. 4. By providing higher sampling rates and utilizing the multiple stage shift register memory of the interpolator 112, a number of channels can be processed by only one set of input and output samplers, one adder, one divider, and one set of converters. This represents a considerable savings in circuit components for the technique may be utilized to handle relatively large numbers of channels. For example, equipment being presently manufactured processes sixty-four channels.

After a major shipment of drugs goes missing on the US-Canadian border, forest ranger and former Navy SEAL Henry (Jean Claude Van Damme) is plunged into survival mode when the drug cartel forces him to help retrieve the downed package. Trapped in the wilderness with no communication to the outside world, Henry finds himself face to face with Clay, a man with a personal vendetta against Henry who has returned for retribution. Now, the two mortal enemies must make a choice: put aside their past and work together, or die alone at the hands of the drug runners, a ruthless gang who will stop at nothing to retrieve their lost cargo.

Project Kaisei hopes to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch
"Mary Crowley really wants to go out there with big boats and get big pieces of plastic out," Moore said. "I'm not really opposed to that, but it's a lot of time and money that could be spent trying to stop the waste getting there in the first place. It's like having a leaking faucet and bailing out the sink rather than calling the plumber. The time has come for society to draw a line in the sand and say no more plastic. Our plastic footprint is causing more problems than our carbon footprint."
Moore believes it's time to withdraw from globalized production and support locavore and slow-food movements instead. "We send stuff to be produced in the cheapest locations possible, package it in plastic, then send it back here. It's nuts," he said.
But Crowley says not all plastic use is bad, even as she advocates for getting larger pieces of plastic out of the water, and supporting companies that use less on no packaging.
"Plastic is an amazing material for construction and railroad ties, decking, and some medical uses," she said. "It's just not right material for throw-away items because it lasts for centuries. I subscribe to oceanographer Sylvia Earle's view that a plastic bottle can last for 500 to 600 years. That's why it's important to get out these bigger pieces of plastic. We don't want them broken down in the belly of a whale or the stomach of an albatross."
Studies suggest that 100,000 marine mammals — possibly more — along with thousands of sea birds die each year from debris entanglement, and that thousands more marine mammals, sea birds, fish and sea turtles die from ingesting marine debris, including plastic bags, which bear an unfortunate resemblance to jellyfish, once in water.
Crowley recalls how in 2009, when Project Kaisei had 25 people on board, including scientists, sailors, filmmakers, graduate students, and engineers, the team was surprised to find plastic in sampling taken 400 miles off the West Coast.
"We were anticipating clean water," Crowley said. In the end, the project's research vessel, the Kaisei, whose name means "ocean star" in Japanese, and the New Horizon, a Scripps Institute vessel that participated in the project's first mission, found some plastic in every single trawl.
"A lot was smaller microparticulates of plastics and preproduction plastic pellets," Crowley said, noting that she also saw Clorox bottles, plastic bags, ghost nets, toothbrushes, children's toys, and plastic chairs floating on, or lurking up to nine feet below the surface of the ocean.
"If you're in still water, you sometimes see confetti-like pieces of plastic. And if you're up on the crow's nest and going two to three knots, you see bigger pieces," she said.
No one knows exactly how many bits of debris are already floating in the ocean or have been ground up into tiny particles on our beaches. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration notes that, to date, "there has not been a comprehensive marine debris abundance assessment for the world's oceans, or even for a single ocean."
Moore's foundation says 80 percent of marine debris comes from land and only 20 percent from marine-related activities like fishing. To Crowley's mind, the main problem is that only 5 percent to 7 percent of plastics are recycled.
"Plastic was invented in the 1880s to replace ivory for pool balls and didn't proliferate until the last 60 years," she said. "But even when plastic is dumped into a landfill, it has this insidious way of blowing about and ending up in drains, rivers, and oceans because plastic is a very light, easy material to move around."

BT Yahoo mail unable to delete spam

Win 7, BT Yahoo mail - I am finding specifically on my one PC that when accessing the Yahoo e-mails and clicking on the spam folder, selecting the e-mails to delete and then clcking any of the three options to delete- nothing happens. Sometimes a dialogue box appears "asking are you sure"and replying yes, does delete them, that scenario seems to be occuring far less frequently. If I go onto any of my other PC's I do not have a problem. How can I resolve this difficulty? I thought that there might be an option within BT Yahoo to repair but have not found anything.

If this only occurs on one machine a question might be .. do you have a pop- up blocker on that machine that maybe stops a dialogue box from appearing on the server ?
That said, have you tried to use Mailwasher so you do not even need to access the server itself to preview and eliminate the spam emails?

p;3 No popup blocker and it does not happen every time. I have three PC's all with the same configuration and programmes and it is only happening with one.

Perhaps the confirmation window is sometimes getting hidden behind the main window?
Try using Alt-Tab is navigate to the hidden window.

"Try using Alt-Tab is navigate to the hidden window."
Should read "Try using Alt-Tab to navigate to the hidden window.

I use BT yahoo.
Just a thought but as it is web based I wonder if your PC is working hard on other things (either intentionally or not) and that it is "stalling" when it is dealing with requests to and from Yahoo.
Might be worth seeing what your CPU and RAM usage is when it's misbehaving.

No it is not hidden.
Will look at that when it happens again.

I think that your answer was probably right in respect of the PC busy doing other things. If I select the e-mails and then click on delete immediately they are sometimes deleted, but not every time.
I now select the Spam e-mail messages and then wait until the cpu is just ticking over and then click on delete and they are deleted every time.
I just wonder as to why this has only started to happen recently
