The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
The questions are ultimately decorative. (A: Dunno, dunno, see title.) Eric Byler's first feature is above all an exercise in laconic mood-making. The thoughtfully calibrated performances contrast starkly with the abstract ambience; Kim is especially impressive, merging the James Spader and Laura San Giacomo roles in sex, lies and videotape (a film that Charlotte Sometimes echoes in its air of erotic ennui and its interpersonal geometry, and that it directly homages in its final moments). Byler handles the cross-firing discomfort of the double-date scenes with suggestive economy: an afternoon rooftop picnic after a few too many beers; an exquisitely uneasy lunch at a Thai eatery, where Darcy obnoxiously railroads the conversation and herds them all together for a group photo: "Smile really Asian!" That injunction notwithstanding, race is largely incidental, the stereotype-tweaking subtextual and matter-of-fact. The characters are almost all Asian American; Justin, who looks white, is actually half-Asian, half-white (as is the director), and his presence allows the film to complicate its romantic permutations, tacitly addressing the frictions of intra- and interracial relationships.
Charlotte Sometimes is a movie of considerable surface allure, from the attractive cast to Rob Humphreys's coolly shimmering DV photography to the soundtrack of sleepy Cody ChesnuTT come-ons. But it's also a bit of a shama self-conscious enigma with a few too many undermotivated ellipses. Conspicuously withheld information proves barely relevant; teasing silences are less meaningful than they'd like to be. Using vagueness as a crutch, Charlotte Sometimes makes a fetish of opacity. Still, whether or not it's a pose, the film's poised reticence is refreshing in contexta rebuke to the contemporary crop of blabbermouthed American indies.

Hi Ladies,
I am in my 18th week of pregnancy. So far all tests came out normal. Last week on Saturday, I had gone for bloodwork to test like 8 different things.
Yesterday I got a call from the Dr saying that one of them came out to be abnormal - spinal fluid test and when I asked him more questions, the Dr said that they will explain more to be during the ultrasound.
Now I already had an ultrasound for the spinal fluid test during my 9th week. A week later the Dr said everything looks normal. Now all of a sudden after the blodd test, he says that it is abnormal. Is this possible ? I have my next ultrasound tomorrow.
I have a feeling that he is trying to get some money out of my insurance by making me go through more tests. I do not trust when he says suddenly that something is abnormal after I was normal for 18 weeks.
Please help ! My DH and I are really upset

Browns QB: Does it matter?
The Browns are horrible and sitting Quinn down for a guy who threw three interceptions last week makes no sense. It doesn't matter if Otto Graham walked in now in his prime, the Browns would still stink.Why? There are no weapons for the quarterback. Who do they throw to? Who runs it? A slow-to-the-hole Jamal Lewis? Jerome Harrison? Or rookie James Davis. No passing game means no running game either.
It's not just the quarterback. I always say a franchise passer can cure your ills. But not here. We haven't seen either of these passers look like one of those, but even if they were there are still too many issues.
It starts with Mangini. He's too uptight. He plays the mind games that players hate.
At least he made this decision known on Wednesday this time, instead of playing that stupid game he played in Week 1 where he thought he was being smart not letting his decision out for competititve reasons.
Again, does it matter?
Bring back Bernie Kosar or Brian Sipe in their primes. The Browns wouldn't be good with them either. This team isn't good. The offense is awful.
How's that decision to bring in Mangini, Lerner? Just like many thought it would be.
Not good.

Your sad attempts of trying to get people to believe in DA didn't work in the Browns Message Board and it will not work here either. Derek Anderson threw 3 INTs last week.......he's not a starting QB in the NFL. He's a career back-up.

I think the timing of the move has more to do with who the Browns are playing. Let's not forget that Derek Anderson had his first start against the Bengals and torched them to start that pro bowl year. Granted the personnel is different and the Coordinator is different, but a lot of it's the same as well.

Browns QB: Does it matter?
I don't think it was too tough preparing for Quinn and Anderson at the same time. It's not like trying to prepare for Michael Vick and Dan Marino. Both Browns QB's are basically the same...I could prepare for their game plan:
"OK, they are going to throw some short passes, occassionally throw one down the field (maybe 2 for DA), don't worry about the running game at all, throw a few blitz packages at them, bull rush the right side of the O line, pick up our win and then call it a Sunday."

Browns QB: Does it matter?
Anderson confirmed what we already knew about him last Sunday. He can't read a defense and he can't throw a pass accurately or on time. Occasionally he may have a great game, but he has shown no growth in the countless opportunities he has had to be a starting quarterback. But, like Prisco said, it does not matter.

Chuck needs to let it go cause he'll never come close to getting the belt back. Chuck used to be my fav fighter but even Chuck in his prime wasn't good enough to beat some of the guys at 205 now.
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell is on a mission to prove he still has the skills to crawl back into the UFC title picture.
"I don't think I have anything to prove, but I would like to prove [White] wrong … I've just got to show him I can perform. If I perform, he'll keep letting me fight."
"At this point, I'd like another fight after (Ortiz) … Hopefully Dana's happy with me if I get two wins, and I'd like a shot at a contender and then a shot at the the title. That's four fights." [MMAJunkie]
Can Liddell give up his diet of dancing, nachos and strippers to prove that he is still the King of the UFC 205 lbs. weight class?
Don't miss Chuck as coach of the eleventh season of The Ultimate Fighter, set to debut on March 31st.
Chuck needs to let it go cause he'll never come close to getting the belt back. Chuck used to be my fav fighter but even Chuck in his prime wasn't good enough to beat some of the guys at 205 now.
chuck is going to lose to ortiz and then couture this year
he is a bum and always has been even in his prime he beat bums
chuck was good in the early ufc days because nobody knew how to fight and he was just the better of the weak talent at the time
thats what dose my head in about chuck if he wants to fight why dont he just concentrate on getting back in there and having a fight instead of having his head in the clouds about getting the title back, wich by the way he still says he wants his title back
Sploogesplatter you obviously know nothing of MMA or the history of chucks fights in the UFC… you say he has only beat bums…seriously?? Randy Couture twice, Tito Ortiz twice possible three times, Vitor Belfort, Jeremy Horn, Pedro Izzo and so many more if those guys are bums idk what your watching…. Dont speak unless u actually know a little info on what our talking about…wow
Chuck was a great fighter most of the time during pride he was one of the best. But when he got to the UFC he really became one dimensional and went away with the kickboxing and wrestling, which ultimetly lead to his demise in the UFC. With such the athletes we have today in the sport Chuck can not just stand and bang with them as he will KTFO…chuck is weak for KO's and needs to elevate his gameplan back to wear he was dominate in Pride. For record Rampage will always have Chucks number just like i fully think Liddell has Ortiz number not to mention i really dont like Ortiz. If chuck loses this fight he is DONE and should RETIRE. He is not Couture as that man is just a conditioning freak which we all know Liddell doesnt really condition himself to the best he could. Overall i think Liddell has had a great career and deserves the respect but there is a time to call it quits and i do not believe Liddell can keep up with todays athletes, he needs to change his gameplan back to the pride days in order to be successfull going forward.
Hey Tim,
Your a bit of an idiot, if you follow UFC and pride you'll know Chuck rarely fought in pride, Rampage and Alistair Overeem, and Guy Mezger. That's a total of three fights in pride, so how did he dominate pride? He was way more dominant in the UFC, than in Pride you whackjob. If Chuck loses to Tito, then he should retire, but he won`t Tito is more washedup then Chuck is. Chuck won`t get a title shot, but he may just get a couple more wins.
The only fights Chuck could have worth watching is, Ortiz because he has no striking, he's a ass and people like 2 see him get hit. Forrest G, because he has no KO power and it would be a war till the end. Couture battle of legends. The last guy i could see him fight, is Kimbo Slice. I think kimbo would win by KO but it would be a huge fight, Chuck the belt is in Machidas hands give it up, and that divisions is stacked Rampage, Shogun, Evans, Bones Jones, give it up Chuck you had a great run.

- This bumblebee spinner is a deal Review by HawkinDC
This spinner entertains my 2yo daughter. It moves really fast with the wind and is easy to put together. I stuck it in a potted plant outside and voila! It goes. This store not only was the least expensive of all I looked at but the cost to speed up the delivery of it and another similar spinner was still less than buying it elsewhere. I can't say that I think this spinner will last forever bec

- Great product Review by Mrs. Green Knee
Our "Bees" are scattered about our large back yard. They add both color and movement for every season. They store well and hold thier color. We have one old larger "Bee" (now discontinued) that takes center stage. Grouped together or alone this product is a super addition to our back yard entertainment.

I threw a mother-to-bee party for my daughter and had these around the room for decoration using a wood base my husband made. At the end of the party we played a game and there were winners at each table that got to take home the bees. Everyone wanted to win so they could take a bee home!!! Thank you for the speed in which they were delivered and the quality of the product. :)

Goodwins fund new Cancer Center
Staff report
of the pancreas, head and neck, brain, and lungs are among the
most deadly forms of the disease, and there are currently few
options for treatment. With a new $6 million gift to the U.Va.
Center, medical researchers will accelerate clinical trials
of promising new therapies for these cancers, offering hope to
millions of patients and their families.
contribution from Alice T. and William H. Goodwin Jr. of Richmond
will be provided in annual installments of $750,000 over the next
eight years. It follows a $3.9 million gift made by the Goodwins
last fall to further clinical trials of promising new vaccines
for melanoma and other types of cancer.
and Bill Goodwins continuing investment in the Cancer Center
will bolster its capacity to translate research breakthroughs
in the laboratory into effective treatments at the bedside,
said U.Va. President
John T. Casteen III. The Goodwins new commitment will
allow us to expand clinical trials that build on the discoveries
of our medical scientists and that will be of enormous benefit
to patients from Virginia and beyond.
Cancer Centers Clinical Trials Office currently manages
more than 80 clinical trials involving as many as 300 patients
a year. As the trials become more sophisticated, the office is
nearing capacity, forcing the testing of new therapies to be postponed.
The Goodwins gift will allow the University to hire additional
nurses and other personnel with experience in managing clinical
trials, which will enable U.Va. to expand the number and types
of treatments available to patients.
resources will be tremendously helpful in speeding the movement
of new discoveries into new therapies, said Michael Weber,
director of the Cancer Center.
percent of childhood cancers are now curable through treatments
refined by clinical trials. And clinical trials have led to major
advances in the treatment of melanoma and cancers of the breast,
cervix, uterus, ovary, prostate and bladder. The mission of an
academic medical center is to create leading-edge therapies and
to bring them to our patients. Clinical trials are the only way
this can be done.

Goodwins, among the Darden Schools most generous benefactors
in the Universitys recent fund-raising campaign and known
for their philanthropic endeavors across Virginia, have established
the Commonwealth Foundation for Cancer Research to foster new
breakthroughs in the battle against the disease. In addition to
their gift to the Cancer Center, the new Foundation also has made
significant gifts to several other prominent cancer centers across
the U.S.
are glad our continuing support will help U.Va. advance new cures
and treatments for cancer, Bill Goodwin said. We have
great faith in the Universitys doctors and researchers and
are proud to help further their work.
effective strategies to fight cancer is the goal of all involved.
We are glad we have the resources to help, said Alice Goodwin.
Goodwins gift will support clinical trials of new
treatments for the following types of cancer:
cancer - Dr. Michael Williams heads a team that will
refine a new regimen of chemotherapy designed to treat the
late State Sen. Emily Couric. The therapy, which helped
Couric live longer than expected, will be tested for safety
and effectiveness.
cancer - Meningiomas, the most common brain tumors,
are curable surgically when the location and the shape of
the tumor allow complete removal. Tumors that cannot be
completely removed are devastating. Due to what medical
scientists call the blood/brain barrier, chemotherapy is
not an effective treatment for brain cancers. Dr. David
Schiff will work to change the chemistry of an existing
chemotherapy agent so that it bypasses the blood/brain barrier
and, it is hoped, blocks tumor growth and starves the tumor
of the blood flow it needs to survive.
and neck cancers - The standard treatment for head and
neck cancers is a combination of radiation and chemotherapy
given concurrently. However, radiation administered to the
head and neck area is disfiguring and can cause damage to
healthy tissues and to other areas such as the eye, spinal
cord and brain stem. In a new clinical trial headed by Dr.
Christopher Thomas, investigators hope to use new intensity-modulated
radiation therapy to deliver maximum dosages of radiation
to cancerous cells in this area while minimizing damage
to healthy tissue.
cancer - Breast cancer therapy has undergone substantial
improvements in recent years with surgical care moving toward
less invasive methods. Dr. Reid Adams hopes to develop non-invasive
technologies to fight breast cancer. Reviving
and improving upon an existing technology, his research
team will determine if high-energy radio waves can be used
surgically to destroy tumors.
cancer - The chemotherapy agent known as ST1571, or
Gleevec, has gained prominence as a treatment for some forms
of leukemia. Now, to combat lung cancer, U.Va. researchers
led by Dr. Heidi Gillenwater intend to pair Gleevec with
a chemotherapy agent discovered and developed by Sidney
Hecht, U.Va.s John W. Mallet Professor of Chemistry.
The first round of chemotherapy is highly effective in fighting
certain forms of lung cancer, but in subsequent treatments,
cancer cells become less susceptible to the drugs
killing effects.
U.Va. researchers hope to combine the two chemotherapy agents
and modify them so that they continue to destroy cancer
cells effectively as treatments continue.

Junior forward Nemanja Djurisic is one of Georgia's top three scorers and is among the three Bulldogs who have seen the most minutes on the floor. He also leads the team in field goals made (4.4 per game) and 3-pointers made (1.3 per game).
But thus far this season, the 6-foot-8 bruiser from Montenegro has started only two of Georgia's seven games.
There's no grousing from Djurisic or second-guessing from Georgia coach Mark Fox, however, as the Bulldogs (3-4) return to the floor today for the first time in 12 days, hosting Lipscomb (4-5) at 4 p.m.
"In the big picture, it doesn't matter if I start or not," Djurisic, who's averaging 11.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 23.1 minutes a game, said. "We've talked and (Fox) thinks that's the best way right now and I understand, and if that's the way I can best help the team and contribute and bring some energy and bring some scoring, that's fine with me, as long as I can get in there."
"He really has played well in that role," Fox said of Djurisic, who has started 24 games in his career at Georgia. "We were a very competitive team last year in the SEC with him in that role and this year he's been very productive in that same situation. It works for him right now and he still gets to play a ton and it's been a really good fit."
Djurisic, who came into the 2013-14 season averaging 7.4 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, said that coming off the bench enables him to discern how he can best help his teammates.
"I may be more comfortable because I see what's going on in the first few plays and I see what I could do to help out," he said. "Either way, it doesn't matter. I think I've been playing pretty well, so I'm happy that I can help the team. Whatever way it goes, I'm OK with it."
Teammates Charles Mann and Kenny Gaines appreciate the zeal Djurisic brings when he comes in, and Gaines pointed out that starting isn't as critical as being on the floor with the game on the line.
"He's a great player and he could start for any team," Mann, who leads Georgia in scoring with 14.3 points per game, said. "He's a great 3-point shooter, a great rebounder and a great defensive player. He just brings a lot of energy in all different elements of the game. If he starts or if he comes off the bench, either way he's going to give us everything he can give us."
"I like to see him come off the bench," Gaines, who's averaging 12.6 points per game, added. "It kind of gives us an edge offensively and defensively because he comes in with so much energy and is so productive. … If you think about it, it's not about how you start, but how you finish. That's a key part of the game."
Djurisic, who started in the season opener against Wofford and in Georgia's second game against Georgia Tech, said he doesn't always feel as if he's got to focus on making an immediate contribution once he hits the floor.
"I'm confident enough that I know when I get in the game I'm ready to contribute," he said. "I don't feel like a bench player and I know I can do things to help the team, so I try to take advantage of that as soon as I get in."
Fox didn't rule out the idea of Djurisic returning to the starting lineup, but he's been pleased with the forward's play through the first seven games.
"As long as he's productive in the role he's in and the guys in front of him who are starting — Donte' (Williams) and Marcus (Thornton) — are playing well in their roles, I don't think I would change it. But there may be situations — matchup-driven or injury-driven — that lead us to start him but that would be a game-by-game situation."
In discussing his team's absence from the Stegeman Coliseum floor, Fox admitted he's concerned that the Bulldogs may be a bit sluggish at the beginning of today's game.
"I do worry about having some rust," he said. "We've had some really good practices until (Wednesday) and … it was evident they're tired of practicing and would like to play a game again. It's a long break — longer than I probably would like — but we got a lot of things done. But you do worry about having a little rust out there."

[This week Hooping.org columnist Lara Eastburn takes a look at hooper fashion.]
We're all familiar with the quote, "Clothes make the man." But Mark Twain's immortal maxim is also followed by this one, "Naked people have little or no influence on society." Fair enough.
But do clothes make the hooper? With a few exceptions, a quick glance around at the hooping world would certainly make one think so. What to wear while hooping is the subject of countless online threads, forums and groups. One's wardrobe often appears to be a major consideration in even casual hooping photos and videos. The sheer amount of attention we as a community pay to hooping and clothes implies that it's something we think — and worry — a lot about.
And there are a couple immediate and obvious reasons for this. For one, some clothes aren't suitable for hooping. Belts get in the way; slippery fabrics are frustrating. But then, I don't wear those to a Pilates class either, y'know? Then, some clothes – or their absence – seem to facilitate learning to hoop. For many years, I HAD to wear shorts if I was going to have a chance in hell of pulling off knee hooping. Tank tops, as well as a good sports bra, were an equal necessity when I was first attempting torso hooping. Hooping with fire comes with strict clothing rules. And blast if those flowy gaucho pants don't fall-half way down my ass when I'm getting my groove on. These motivations for hoop-specific clothing we can relegate to the category of "utility." They serve a mechanical and functional purpose. Okay, so what about the rest?

aspects of human-centered automation should be considered in fielding new automated systems.
The Federal Aviation Administration should continue to support integrated product teams with well-trained human factors specialists assigned to the teams. Both users and human factors specialists should be involved at the early stages to help define the functionality of the proposed automation system. These specialists should be responsible to report to human factors management within the Federal Aviation Administration as well as to project managers.
The Federal Aviation Administration should continue to work toward an infrastructure in which some human factors training is provided to personnel and program managers at all levels of the organization (and contract teams).
The Federal Aviation Administration should ensure that adequate funding is provided for needed human factors work at all stages of system development and field evaluations both before and after systems acquisition.
During the development of each automation function, system developers should consider possible interactions with other automation functions (under development or already existing), tools, and task requirements that form (or will form) the operational context into which the specific automation feature will be introduced.

Why is camcorder video distorted horizontally (squeezed)?
by wyncee--2008 - 9/24/12 7:20 AM
Camcorder: Panasonic SDR-T70
records in MOV.MOD
Windows media player will play video once - then it freezes. The video is squeezed horizontally and is quite blurry (even though video is of a still object - and camera is on a tripod).
I need to convert the video to edit in Windows Movie Maker v 2.1.4028.0
Video looks fine on the small flip out screen on the camcorder - but is distorted (squeezed) when I upload video to my computer : XP pro
I am recording in 16:9 ratio
To summarize problem: First step seems to be to figure out why video is such poor quality: blurry and horizontally squeezed. Camera is relatively new. Recording on internal memory.

Novak Djokovic made it a lucky seventh title in China with a 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (7-3) defeat of Juan Del Potro to win a second straight trophy at the Shanghai Masters on Sunday.
The Serb has won his last 20 matches in China; he earned a fourth Beijing trophy over the past five years a week ago as he beat Rafael Nadal in the capital.
Djokovic, who lost his world number one title last week to Nadal, now owns five titles this season and 39 in his career. Victory took just over two and a half hours.
The loss leaves Del Potro without a Masters 1000 trophy.
Djokovic claimed victory on the first of three match points in the third-set tiebreaker after Del Potro save two Djokovic match-winners in the tenth game of the set.
Djokovic ended with 47 winners but converted on only two of his dozen chances. He won his 10 match of 13 against Del Potro, who knocked out Nadal in the semi-finals.

Abu Asim Azmi created ruckus with his comments on the amended anti-rape law by stating that women should be awarded death penalty for consensual sex.
This comment came closely on the heels of Samajwadi leader Mulayam Singh's shocking statement at a rally in Moradabad "Ladkon se aisi galtiyan ho jati hain, to iska matlab yeh to nahi ki unhe phaansi de di jaaye (Boys make mistakes, but this doesn't mean you hang them)."
His argument was that it is difficult to differentiate between rape and consensual sex and is prone to blackmailing.
In 2012, a Metropolitan magistrate court in Mumbai convicted Azmi over a provocative speech he made at a rally in Mastan Talao, Nagpada on February 24, 2000. According to the prosecution, Azmi had allegedly said that, "If Islam were to be attacked, he would not be bothered if India was to face another partition."
As the Lok sabha elections heat up and the states go for polling, EC is closely monitoring what the leaders speak as public dissent grows stronger against SP leaders' comments.
Read on to know more about the Samajwadi party leader Abu Azmi:
*Maharashtra Samajwadi Party chief, Abu Asim Azmi has come up with a statement saying irrespective of consent any woman having sex with a man should be hanged.
*Azmi also claimed that such females only deserve death penalty as per a report published in Mid-Day.
*Abu Asim Azmi was born on 8 August 1955 and is the state president of Maharashtra Samajwadi Party.
*He represented Uttar Pradesh in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Indian Parliament from November 2002 till November 2008.
*He is SP candidate Farhan Azmi's father and Bollywood actress Ayesha Takia is his daughter-in-law.
*Prior to this, he generated controversy when he took his oath in Hindi instead of Marathi and was slapped by fellow legislators from MNS while doing so.
*Prior to this, Abu Asim Azmi is a politician from the Indian state of Maharashtra. He is the president of Maharashtra unit of the Samajwadi Party. Azmi has served a term as a Member of Parliament of Rajya Sabha representing Uttar Pradesh from November 2002 to 2008.
* He Hails from Manjir Patti area of Azamgarh district in UP and was was elected as a Member of Maharashtra Assembly from two segments during the 2009 Maharashtra assembly elections namely Mankhurd-Shivaji Nagar and Bhiwandi (East).
*He vacated these seats as the election rules don't permit one individual to represent two seats at a time and had made several unsuccessful attempts to enter the Vidhan Sabha as well as Lok Sabha.
*He lost to Shiv Sena's Yogesh Patil from Bhiwandi assembly constituency when he contested elections in 2004.
*He again lost 2009 Lok Sabha elections where he was pitted against Congress' leader Gurudas Kamat, Shiv Sena's Gajanan Kirtikar and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena's Shalini Thakrey from Mumbai North West Lok Sabha constituency.
Life before politics:
* He was a successful businessman and was also arrested for the 6 March 1993 bomb blasts, which killed more than 250 people in Mumbai.
*The Mumbai Police had alleged that he was involved with the perpetrators of the bomb blast by helping them flee the country through his travel agency.
*However after spending a year in jail, he got acquitted of all the charges. Then Azmi entered politics and joined Samajwadi Party.
Political journey:
Abu Asim Azmi gained popularity , particularly among the people hailing from UP.
His party won two assembly seats under his leadership during the 1995 Assembly elections in spite of a saffron wave in the aftermath of 1992 riots.
*Azmi's issues to woo muslim voters were the harassment of Muslim youths in the wake of several blasts in Mumbai.
*Ishrat Jahan case: He raised the issue of investigation in the case of Mumbra girl Ishrat Jahan, who was killed in an encounter by Gujarat police on the outskirts of Ahmedabad on the allegations that she was along with her alleged Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives planning to Kill Gujarat CM Narendra Modi.
*Though he tried to woo muslim voters in Mumbai and Maharashtra, SP has not been able to make a mark and win major seats.

His son Farhan Azmi has entered politics from North-Central ward in Mumbai and has been making claims that Mumbai will be akin to Switzerland if SP comes into power.
*Azmi has raised issues like custodial death of Khwaja Yunus, accused in the Ghatkopar blasts of 2002, who was allegedly killed during police custody in January 2003.
*He has also been campaigning for the release of innocent Muslim youths arrested in the Malegaon blast case.
*He started taking on the Shiv Sena and MNS for harassing North Indians.
*He is officially the richest elected representative of Maharashtra with cash and assets worth Rs 126 crore (Rs 1.26 billion) but constituency, Mankhurd-Shivaji Nagar, consists of poorest of the poor in Mumbai.

Serving lines (1) have ends that extend into a kitchen (2). At the sides of the serving lines (1) are seats (12), shelves (11), distribution ports sealed off with flaps (10), and equipment for remote ordering. Orders are transmitted to the kitchen (2), which is equipped with a terminal (8) and a printer (9). An order is prepared and placed, with the bill, on a tray (18) that is deposited at the end of a serving line, which automatically transports the tray to the position of the customer who originated the order. A flap (10) then opens temporarily for the tray to be removed. After eating, the customer goes to a till, presents the bill, pays and leaves. A processor monitors automatic operation of the system; it is linked to the till for the appropriate checks. Special serving lines are also proposed to which customers with prepaid cards have access, offering such customers remote payment services as well.
1. A system for delivering items from an order processing station (2) to a plurality of remote delivery stations (11, 12), each delivery station serving a single customer and being provided with means for remotely ordering items from the processing station, comprising:
(a) at least one serving line (1) capable of serving a plurality of the delivery stations (11, 12), each at least one line (1) being connected directly to the order processing station (2) and including
a longitudinal horizontal central conveyor (6) on both sides of which there are provided horizontal shelves (11) serving as tables and seats (12) for the customers, said conveyor (6) being adapted to carry the ordered items and being covered by a tunnel (3) projecting above a level defined by said horizontal shelves (3), said tunnel (3) having opposite sides and being provided on its opposed sides with ports through which items can be withdrawn from the conveyor (6), suitable doors (10) being provided for closing said ports,
identification and control means (13, 14) at each delivery station (11, 12) for enabling the order processing station (2) to identify any particular delivery station, and an order by a customer seated at the said particular delivery station, and
a terminal at each delivery station to receive a credit or debit card to pay for the order;
(b) display and processing means (8, 9) at the order processing station (2) for displaying orders from each customer and for enabling the processing and carrying out of each separate order, including issuance of a corresponding ticket or bill;
(c) means (19) for controlling the conveyor (6) to ensure that each item placed on the conveyor is conveyed to the desired port of the pertaining delivery station (11, 12) and that the pertaining door (10) can be opened for withdrawal of the item; and
(d) a central processing unit (CPU 17) which receives the various order and which automatically controls operation of the whole system,
wherein the system is disposed in an establishment having an exit, and further comprises a dedicated counter (121) at the exit for a fast-track control of the card, which is linked to the central processing unit (CPU 17) for performing financial checks.
2. A system according to claim 1, in which the means for remotely ordering provided at each delivery station, includes an intercommunication system (14) with a call button (13), linked to a central exchange (15) where operators receive the orders and input the orders into the central processing unit (CPU 17).
3. A system according to claim 2, in which the central exchange (15) is equipped with a telephone message service for automatic receipt of orders.
4. A system according to claim 1, in which the means for remotely ordering provided at each delivery station includes a function keyboard, whereby the customer can place the order directly to the central processing unit (CPU 17).
5. A system according to claim 1, in which each seat (12) at each delivery station is equipped with a sensor (112) to indicate the arrival of a customer.
6. A system according to claim 1, in which the conveyor (6) of each at least one serving line is a belt conveyor driven by a motor (7) controlled by a control unit (19) which co-operates with sighting sensors (20) positioned in the tunnel (3) at each delivery station to detect and indicate the presence of the ordered item at the required delivery station.
7. A system according to claim 1, in which the terminal (23) for the card can be used by the customer to obtain access to pay-and-view type entertainment services.
8. A system according to claim 1, in which each delivery station equipped with a terminal (23) for a card is further provided with a PC (22) for placing orders directly with the central processing unit (CPU 17) and for access to pay-and-view type entertainment services, the PC (22) serving as the means for remotely ordering.
9. A system according to claim 8, in which the computers are arranged on top of the tunnel (3) so as to face one side or the other side of the serving line alternately and the seats along this serving line are likewise offset on each side so that they are equidistant with a spacing equivalent to twice that between two adjacent PCs.
10. A system according to claim 1, wherein the establishment is a restaurant and the items comprise meals.
The invention concerns equipment for the automation of catering, bar or other products or goods sales services, which has been designed to appreciably increase productivity in serving and to meet the following customer requirements for catering or bar services for example to enter the premises and immediately find somewhere to sit, without having to wait and join long queues by the till, such as is the case at present with self-service and fast food restaurants; to find someone to take the order immediately; to receive the items ordered in a relatively short time; to be able to manage the waiting time freely and to the optimum extent; to have a public information and remote service facility, also providing a bar and catering service; and finally, to be able to leave the restaurant avoiding long queues at the till.
Basically the equipment as per the invention consists of a tunnel that is generally in a straight line, with the entry to the restaurant at one end where the service staff are posted, such as the kitchen for example, and with a longitudinal conveyor with lateral flaps opposite and lateral horizontal shelves, served by comfortable seats for the customers who can access the line directly, without waiting at the till.
In the most simplified form, opposite each seat on the side wall of the tunnel there is a call button and an intercom or equivalent means with which the customer can communicate with a central operator who takes the orders and inputs them in the system by PC.
There is no reason why, as an alternative to or in combination with the intercom, there should not be a function key which identifies each seat by a code and with which the customer can input the order into the system automatically, identifying each dish with a code which appears on the menu displayed, for example, on an illuminated board affixed to the wall of the service bay. The tunnel projects slightly above the shelves to act as a table, so that those seated on either side of the tunnel can see each other and converse.
Special serving lines are also envisaged in which a terminal is provided at each position arranged laterally in relation to the tunnel, to read and write discount or subscription cards which the customer can purchase at the entrance to the restaurant or from any other authorized center and on the tunnel there is a PC with associated keyboard and mouse at each position. The customer on this line can use the PC to obtain more details on the menu and to place his order remotely, and while waiting for the items he has ordered, the customer can use the PC for different types of service for which the equipment is designed.
In the kitchen at the end of each serving line, there is a PC with keyboard and mouse and a printer. The VDU of this PC displays the various line orders in chronological order. The operator concerned prepares and places on a tray what the customer has ordered, together with any items necessary for their consumption, and with the bill produced by the printer, and then places the tray at this end of the tunnel conveyor and by activating a control, actuates the conveyor in the direction of the customer. Controlled by sensors and a simple automated system, the conveyor stops with the tray opposite the seat for which it is intended and the side flap on the tunnel opens automatically beside the customer who placed the order, and he then removes the tray after which the flap closes automatically and the kitchen operator can repeat the procedure described to serve the various customers on that line. After finishing the meal, the customer can leave the restaurant by passing via the till where he presents the bill for payment. Customers on lines with PC's who have discount or subscription cards on which the cost of the service used is automatically debited can pass through a quick check at a dedicated till or can leave the restaurant without waiting at the till, by means of a gate which opens automatically using the same card.
FIG. 1 is a plan view from the top and sections of the equipment as per the invention;
FIG. 2 shows further details of the serving line shown in
FIG. 1, with parts in lateral elevation and a section along line II--II;
FIG. 3 shows details of a seat position on the line in FIG. 1, seen along section line III--III;
FIG. 4 illustrates a block wiring diagram of the equipment;
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the various operating phases of the equipment.
With reference firstly to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, it will be seen that the equipment comprises several serving lines of any appropriate length, positioned alongside each other at an appropriate reciprocal distance apart, terminating at one end at a wall of the restaurant, for example a wall 102 of a kitchen 2, where the serving personnel operate.
The lines 1 are preferably straight lines, but to meet special requirements, they may be structured differently. For preference, these serving lines 1 are modular in type and can be combined to facilitate the construction of assemblies of the required length.
Each line comprises a horizontal tunnel 3, of appropriate section, maintained at the correct distance from the floor by supports 4 and with one end open ending at a window 5 in the wall 102 of the kitchen, whilst the other end is sealed. The lower part of the tunnel 3 is occupied longitudinally by a form of conveyor 6, for example a belt or strap conveyor and equipped where necessary with equidistant transverse fins 106 forming small bays suitable for holding a tray, as described below.
The conveyor 6 projects for an appropriate distance inside the kitchen 2 where it is linked to an appropriate means of motorization 7 in a suitable housing. This means may consist of a motor with electronic speed and phase control, with an associated tachometer unit and brake, connected to the conveyor 6 by a belt drive and toothed pulley.
In the kitchen 2 opposite each serving line 1 is a PC 8 and a printer 9, which are described below.
The tunnel 3 is equipped laterally on each side with equidistant windows, positioned above the conveyor 6 and normally sealed off with flaps 10 that open automatically. This same tunnel 3 is equipped laterally on both sides with horizontal projecting shelves 11, positioned beneath the said flaps 10 and of a height suitable to fulfill the function of a table for customers who can be comfortably seated on the seats 12, with at least one seat opposite each flap. Opposite each seat or position, the following may be provided: a sensor 112, for example optoelectronic in type, which automatically signals that there is a customer present; a call button 13 and an intercom 14 or an equivalent means, for example, a telephone with mobile micro-telephone, with which a customer freely entering a restaurant using the equipment described takes a seat or similar 12, and can then call a central exchange shown as 15 in FIG. 4, where the order can be placed, selecting from the menu which may be displayed in any appropriate form, for example on an illuminated board 16 fixed to the wall 102, facing the serving line 1. The central exchange 15 is served by an operator who takes the various orders in person. If the operator of the central exchange 15 is busy, an automated system takes over which advises the customer via the intercom that it is not possible to connect him and that he will be called back as soon as possible, and waiting music can be played. Each button 13 and/or each sensor 112 will have its own code and the operator of the central exchange 15 will have a known means enabling him to call back the position which asked for a connection. As soon as it becomes possible, the customer places the order by means of the intercom and the operator of the central exchange 15 inputs the order remotely into the CPU 17 which handles automatic operation of the entire system, as described below. According to a minor variant in construction, the central exchange 15 may be equipped with a telephone message service that automatically takes the different orders which are then extracted and prepared by the operator concerned.
As an alternative to or in combination with the presence of parts 13 and 14 mentioned above, a small function keyboard, not shown, can be provided at each position, with which the customer can directly input his own order remotely into the CPU 17, using reference codes identifying each course as displayed on the menu.
In this case, the intercom 13/14 can be used to advise the customer how to use the said function keyboard.
The CPU 17 is also connected to the units 8/9 on each serving line and advises the kitchen of the orders received in chronological order, and if necessary also arranged according to the time needed for preparation.
The kitchen can be organized completely automatically, by means of distributors, conveyors, robots and/or other systems, or in semi-automatic or manual form. In the latter cases, the kitchen operator prepares the customer's order on an associated tray 18 together with the receipt produced on the printer 9, then places the tray at the starting end of the conveyor 6 and sets it on its way with selective controls provided for example on the PC 8, which identify the position to which the tray is to be sent. A unit 19 is provided to control operation of the conveyor 6 and the associated motor-drive 7, which may be intelligent type as described, so that the tray 18 conveyed in each case stops exactly opposite the flap 10 by the customer for which it is intended.
To this effect, there is no reason why there should not be at least one sensor 20 in the tunnel 3 opposite each flap 10 to detect the presence of the tray, this sensor being activated selectively by controls in the kitchen bay, this being of an intuitive design and easily achievable by engineers in the sector. When the tray reaches its destination, the flap 10 at the position concerned opens automatically, and a message can be transmitted automatically to the customer via the intercom, asking him to remove the tray with the order and the bill. In a different solution, a means can also be provided that automatically ejects the tray from the conveyor, placing it on a small straight shelf at the side, positioned outside the tunnel 3 and not shown in the. drawings, from which the customer can remove it when he chooses. When the tray has been removed from the tunnel, the flap 10 closes again automatically, enabling the conveyor 6 to be used again.
The customer can place more than one order, and will receive a bill for each.
When the customer has finished his order or orders, he can leave the restaurant by passing via the till 21 which, due to the circuit link with the seat 12 and the CPU 17, knows what has been ordered at each position and is able to make the necessary checks and subsequently update the equipment memories. The customer presents his bill or bills at the till 21, pays the bill in cash or with a credit or debit card or any other form of electronic funds transfer and can then leave.
The line described is a simple serving line to which those wishing to converse can also have access and who can sit on one or both sides of the serving line. The tunnel 3 is restricted in height and as such enables those seated on opposite sides of a line to see each other and converse.
Both simple and special serving lines can be provided in one and the same restaurant, of the type shown in the drawings, which are also able to offer a remote payment service. In these lines, the flaps 10 on one side are offset one step in relation to those opposite (FIG. 1) and on tunnel 3 a PC 22 is provided for each flap 10, with an associated keyboard 122 and on the shelves 11 there is a mouse 222 for each PC. The PCs 22 are offset on one side in relation to the other and can if necessary be equipped with separating barriers, not shown, so that customers positioned on one side of a special line cannot see customers on the opposite side and are not disturbed by the customers next to them. At the sides of the tunnel 3, there is a terminal 23 for each position for reading and writing a discount or subscription card, which the customer can purchase at the entrance to the restaurant or from an authorized center. Each PC 22 can be linked by means of the CPU 17 to an internal remote service unit 24 (FIG. 4) or by means of a modem 25 to an external remote service unit.
After sitting down at his selected seat, the customer on the special serving line introduces his own card in terminal 23 and can place an order by the same means as the simple line or, more advantageously, via the keyboard on his own PC 22 which will input the order directly into the CPU 17, whilst this same PC 22 can give useful detailed information on its use and the menu. Once the order has been placed and whilst waiting for the tray to arrive as described above for the simple serving line, the customer on the special serving line can use the PC for various purposes for which it is designed, for example, for playing video games, or to access internal or external data base(s), for example for connection to the <Internet>.
The CPU 17 controls the use of each PC 22 and updates the associated account to be debited to the card introduced into the associated terminal 23. The cost of any order placed with the kitchen can also be debited to the card automatically. At the end of the service, the customer on the special line withdraws his card from the terminal 23 and can leave the restaurant by passing through a fast-track till 121 which makes a check against the information on the CPU 17, or by passing through an automatic gate of known type, not shown, to replace or supplement the till 121 which can be used if the terminal at the automatic gate finds discrepancies. In each case any errors can be cleared up by a closed circuit television recording system.
It can be seen from FIG. 4 that the CPU 17 is also linked to an internal database 26, which is useful for automated control of the restaurant, for example, with regard to accounting, stores, the presence or absence of personnel, and/or for statistical or registration purposes and/or other purposes.
FIG. 5 shows a possible flowchart of the operating phases of the equipment. Reference 27 is the customer entering, who may be a "type A" customer (reference number 28) destined for a simple serving line, or a "type B" customer (reference number 29) destined for a special serving line and already in possession of the discount or subscription card, or a "type C" customer (reference number 30) again destined for special lines but not holding a card and who purchases one at phase 31. Customers on the simple line place their orders by intercom 32 which are then input into the automated system by the central exchange operator in phase 33.
This phase is followed by phase 34 which is preparation of the order and placement of the bill on the tray by the kitchen operators, phase 35 is start-up of the conveyor which transports the tray from the kitchen to the position for which it is intended, and then phase 36 entails control of the tray's routing, stopping it opposite the correct position, and finally phase 37 when the flap opens at the appointed position and phase 38 ejects the tray with the ticket therefrom the and subsequent closure of the flap.
The customers 29 and 30 on the special line insert their card in the appropriate terminal at the selected position, referenced 39, and can then place an order with the meal service remotely via their PC as indicated by phase 40, or by means of the intercom, indicated by connection 41. After placing an order with the meal service, customers on the special serving lines can access the remote information services, as indicated by 42. If an order has been placed with the meal service, the sequence of operating phases for customers on the special serving lines is 34, 35, 36, 37 and 38 as already described for customers on the simple serving lines. Link 43 shows that a customer on the special serving lines need not necessarily place an order with the meal service and may just use the PC and the services for which this equipment is designed. Links 44 and 45 indicate that both the customers on the special serving lines and those on the normal lines can repeat an order several times.
After the phases concerned, the flow 46 of customers on the simple serving lines (i.e., type A customers), passes by the till with the bill in order to pay, as indicated by 47 and can then leave the restaurant. The flow 48 of customers on the special serving lines (i.e., type B or C customers), after removing the card from the reading and updating terminal, as indicated by 49, passes via the appropriate fast-track control till or via an automatic gate, indicated by 50, and can then leave the restaurant.
The equipment as per the invention clearly enables an appreciable throughput and good quality of automatic service.
It is of course understood that the equipment described can also be used for the automation of services other than catering, for example bar or other product or goods sales services. A similar line can for example be used for the sale of foods, completely revolutionizing the current operating logic of supermarkets and hypermarkets.
It is finally understood that the description refers to a preferred form of construction of the invention, to which numerous variants and modifications can be made, especially in constructional terms. There is no reason why the terminal 23 for reading and writing discount or subscription vouchers, should not also be provided on the simple serving lines, in order to facilitate the service for customers using the subsequent phases for leaving the restaurant. This alternative would then enable pay and view type entertainment services to be provided including via the intercom or telephone 13/14. There is no reason why a small printer should not be provided for a print-out in clear of the relative expenditure for each usage of the discount or subscription card, on the special serving line positions at least, or to issue a bill to replace that previously assumed as being issued in the kitchen. These and any other variants which are moreover known intuitively by engineers in the sector do not go beyong the scope of the invention, as described above, as illustrated and in accordance with the claims below.
In the following claims, the reference numbers shown in brackets are purely indicative and not limitative in terms of protection of these same claims.

text: No water or ice coming from refrigerator door/water leak from old inlet valve Enid K. • Camas, WA • September 20, 2014 My Repair & Advice Bought a house where the previous owner removed the water filter components from the 15 year old Whirlpool refrigerator and I found the water supply to be shut off. I researched which parts would be needed to get the water/ice functioning again with the help of online chat and problem-solving (different sized water lines and connectors needed to bypass the water filter). When the parts arrived, I watched the video tutorial and it was an easy fix--less than 1/2 hour. The water and ice making functions works great now and no leaks! Was this review helpful to you?

The Space
Nestled on a wooded hillside at the end of the road, our newly renovated home has three available guest rooms located on their own floors of the house. Each bedroom is listed separately on Airbnb, so if you are interested in more than one room, please see our other two listings. This bedroom has a twin bed, and is located on the second floor just 4 steps from the bathroom. All rooms include bed and bath linens, and access to two full bathrooms (one with a large stall and rain-shower, the other with a deep soaking tub--we also have a lovely outside shower available during warm months). A self-serve breakfast of locally produced foods is also included in nightly rate upon request.
Our open living/dining room area is naturally well lit with views across the valley and woodlands. The house is sited above the confluence of two streams, and has a large south-facing deck, screened porch and stone patios, offering space for relaxing or working outdoors. High speed internet and wifi are available, but no television. Cell coverage is poor at the house, but a land line is available for domestic calls.
We have a friendly Corgi, a shy Great Pyrenees, and two gentle cats. Many wild birds visit our feeders year round. In the summer, our house is surrounded by perennial and vegetable gardens, and a growing orchard on the hill above.
Our property is adjacent to the Appalachian Trail Corridor and is contiguous with Land Trust and town forest, offering access right out our backdoor to miles and miles of trails for walking, hiking, mountain biking and cross country skiing. Each season offers opportunities to glimpse wildlife and birds.
We are located 9 miles from the I-91/ I-89 interstate junction, within a short drive to Dartmouth College/Hanover, NH, Woodstock, VT, as well as many ski areas and local attractions. Driving times from Boston: 2.5 hours; NYC: 5 hours; Montreal: 3.5 hours. Public transportation from Boston, New York and Burlington/Montreal (trains and buses) are available to nearby White River Junction. You will need a car to get around, as much of Vermont and New Hampshire is rural with little to no public transportation. There are a number of rental car agencies nearby in West Lebanon, NH/White River Jct, VT. There are many restaurants within a short drive (15-30 minutes).
We hope you will consider our home, Solheim ("sunhouse" in Norwegian) for a beautiful Vermont mountain retreat within easy driving distance of many northern New England attractions and activities year round.
Guest Access
All public spaces in house, all gardens and woods on our property. Use of kitchen if guests would like to bring personal food in and prepare own meals.
Interaction with Guests
Guests are warmly welcomed to our home. We will be in residence during your stay, but you determine how much you want to interact. We orient you to the house, and are available to answer any questions. If you prefer to have privacy or less interaction, feel free to come and go as you please. If you enjoy some conversation or a shared breakfast with us, we are more than happy to engage--we've met many wonderful people through airbnb!
The Neighborhood
We live at the end of a dirt road up in the mountains in east central Vermont. Although our home is surrounded on three sides by protected forest land with abundant trails for hiking, skiing, snowshoeing and mountain biking, we are only an easy 10-15 minute drive from several towns in the Upper Connecticut River Valley. White River Junction is 10 minutes down the river of the same name, and has grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, etc… It is also the junction of I-89 and I-91. Just up I-91 one exit from White River Jct is the village of Norwich Vermont and Hanover, NH.
Other Things to Note
During the winter months, Vermont roads require at least snow tires. Many people have 4 wheel drive vehicles, or use studded snow tires. Our road is well-maintained by the town, but it is a typical Vermont mountain road--it may be a challenge without good snow tires or 4 wheel drive until the plow comes through. If you have any questions, please ask!
You will be a guest in our family home. Rooms are located on separate floors in the house, and the shared bathrooms are located on the 2nd and 1st floors. You are welcome to share our common living spaces (kitchen, dining room, living room, outside porches, decks, gardens).
Guest dogs may be negotiable with prior approval. We just want to be sure that visiting dogs will be compatible with our dogs, cats and chickens/ducks.
Our homestead is smoking and drug-free. Alcohol in moderation is fine.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the Upper Valley. Mountainside Retreat is an understatement. The word sanctuary better describes the newly renovated living space, comfortable rooms and gracious hosts. I especially enjoyed the communal breakfast prepared by the hosts. Would definitely stay again.
Welcomed doesn't begin to describe how Alex and Martha made me feel. They are clearly experts at treading the fine line between providing easy conversation and giving visitors time to rest and retreat to their rooms. I had lesson plans to write that evening, and after a good conversation by the wood stove, I went up to my room to work. The house is gorgeous, and is both cozy and immaculate. Couldn't recommend highly enough!
This is a great place to stay. It truly is a retreat as it is peaceful, beautiful and comfortable. Alexandra had beautiful sheets and towels. Her home is very clear, attractive and welcoming. She made us a wonderful breakfast and was so accommodating with our arrival time.
We just can't find the words to describe our two-nights stay at Alexandra's and Martha's.
It felt like visiting family or friends as they were so welcoming and always willing to chat, but at the same time, giving us a lot of space and privacy.
They would also help us with anything: we planned a road trip to Boston and Alexandra helped us with the parking, giving us the exact directions to where to park outside of the city.
They even offered us dinner the night we arrived, because we had forgotten to bring a packed meal and didn't feel like going out.
The house is really beautiful, tastefully decorated, warm and very clean. The bedroom is cozy, with a very comfortable bed; we couldn't hope for more.
As for the location, in "the woods" of Vermont, we found it extremely poetic and we couldn't help but take pictures of the environment, even if we imagine that it was not the best period to visit (November), and it surely is even more beautiful in fall, spring or summer.
Overall, a great and memorable experience!
Thanks again Alexandra and Martha to have made my first visit to the US, so pleasant!
Our visit to Alex and Martha's was incredible! I was visiting Dartmouth and we decided to make a weekend out of it and this place was exactly what we were looking for. The house really feels like it's completely nestled in the woods though civilization is maybe 10 minutes away. The family really made us feel at home. It was also lovely to pick your own multi-colored eggs in the morning during the great breakfast spread they had prepared. They were also always up for conversation, with suggestions on where to go for hikes and, and to talk about their incredible house. I am getting myself a Finnish soapstone heater one day! If I end up at Dartmouth, I will be visiting them again. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a true retreat.
What a lovely two nights nestled in this new gorgeous timber home in the Green Mountains of Central Vermont! Alex and Martha are gracious and welcoming hosts.
Our hosts prepared breakfast each morning: fresh eggs from their hens, local artisan breads, unique jams and jellys (ask for Gooseberry or Beach Plum!), yogurt, granola, juice, tea, the works! Our third floor room had skylights and windows looking east for an incredible moon view. The river stone floor shower with overhead rainshower feature is incredible - as is the heat lamp for visitors during the chilly fall. Their 2 dogs and 2 cats are totally cool. But their 3 yr old Corgy 'Finn' is a real sweetheart and loved playing with our two dogs.
The Appalacian Trail is a short walk down their private dirt road. Take the longer walk east and visit the Happy Trails Shelter. Unless you walk the trail alot you'll not be so close to a shelter. Just inside the right opening in a covered shelf is the traditional journal which most visitors write in. Some are rather humorous!
Woodstock is only 25 min away with cute craft shops, dining (Prince and the Pauper 8/10), historic homes and a covered bridge right off the town green. Hanover, NH is 20 away across the Conneticut River with typical college town (Dartmouth) shops and dining. We ate at the Canoe Club (7/10).
We highly recomended staying here. Just one note on the location. It is tucked away in the woods on a hard packed dirt road. A rear drive car in 3 seasons is fine getting here. But a winter visit could be dicey as the home is down a semi-steep but short driveway. The directions provided were perfect in pitch dark when we arrived.
What a lovely stay we had. Thank you sooo much Alex and Martha.

About the Host, Alexandra
I live in Norwich, Vermont, but am a graduate student at Harvard, so commute to Boston regularly. My area of study is International Relations with an emphasis on sustainable development, education and human rights. I've been working in education and education administration, as well as organization development consulting for the past 20+ years, so grad school is a mid-life career renewal adventure for me. Our house is our home, homestead and sanctuary. We are enjoying developing our property according to permaculture principles and have put in a fruit tree orchard, honeybees, a simple rainwater catchment system, and keep chickens and ducks for pest control, as well as eggs. Vegetable, perennial, forest and native species gardening are underway, and we are managing our 10 acre forest lot for sustainable biodiversity.

But even if Every Man for Himself was constructed with the mainstream in mind, it likely won't win any new converts, since at their core Hoobastank remains unchanged: their songs aren't particularly dynamic or catchy, the band doggedly follows alt-rock conventions as if adherence to clichés gives the group legitimacy, and Robb's pedestrian voice alternately disappears into the mix or veers flat when he holds a note.
Nearly every cut shoots for maximum radio mileage, and the album's lack of stimulation makes such pandering harder to overlook. [20 May 2006]
There's something undeniably irritating but strangely satisfying about lyrics so baldly declarative, especially over riffs this explosive. [Jun 2006, p.144]

PORTLAND -- In the light-drenched green houses at Marbott's Nursery, you're carried away by the scent of citrus fruit and charmed by exotic flowers.
But the tropical plant that's earned owner Ernie Marbott 60 years of praise at his Northeast Portland business doesn't look tropical at all.
You won't find any big ones like this at chain stores, said Marbott, picking up a giant red Poinsettia. Most places grow little dinky things.
Not Marbott.
At his nursery started by Marbott s father in 1930 rows and rows of pink, red and white Poinsettias adorn the tables and floor.
Native to Mexico, the plants were first brought to the United States by Joel Poinsett, a U.S. Minister to Mexico. They grew in popularity in the 1940s, when Hollywood began using them to decorate Christmas sets. Marbott was one of the first people to grow Poinsettias in Oregon.
In 1953, I'd just gotten out of the service and (my father) let me build a greenhouse, said Marbott. I put the first Poinsettias in, but he never got to see them bloom because he died October 11.
These days, Marbott's son Larry Marbott does most of the Poinsettia-growing.
We want to do it the right way and show people what a Poinsettia's supposed to look like, said Larry Marbott. What other stores might use as a 'loss leader,' we grow as a profit-maker. We hope.
That's something long-time customer Julie Ann Edman appreciates about the nursery.
I think it's the joy and that (the Poinsettias) are blooming in the winter, said Edman. It's just beautiful.

analysisBy Stephen Grootes
The last week has seen a large volume of analysis on the various decisions made by President Jacob Zuma around his Cabinet. Certainly the appointment of a Cabinet is a good chance to understand the motivations of a political leader. However, it is now time to consider another question: that this appointment may actually have been the last big expression of power by Zuma himself. These appointments, both in Cabinet and to other big posts, are going to leave an interesting situation for whoever comes next to deal with.
It is common to hear among the middle-class commentariat some gnashing of teeth when President Zuma is mentioned, usually proportional to the amount of power he has. The tut-tutting started during the Schabir Shaik trial, as those in the suburbs muttered about how people simply didn't lend their friends money and not ask for it back. It got much louder during his rape trial, despite his acquittal. Now the head-shaking has probably reached its peak.
That's probably because right now, at this moment, Zuma is probably at the height of his might. He has been sworn in as President for his second term, he has had five years...

Hotel Madera's Inn: Masaya's Best hotel
Lying in a hammock on this hotel's rooftop terrace is a good enough reason to saty here, but there is more. The rooms are very nice featuring comfortable wooden beds, built in closets, and a nice shower. The entire hotel is nicely decorated with Nicaraguan handicrafts, paintings, and wall hangings. All this reminds me of the nice little hotels in Antigua, Guatemala. Roger and Johanna, owners of the hotel, are so friendly and warm - you become family instantly! They dispense great tourism tips, arrange taxis to the nearby Pueblos Blancos, Volcan Masaya, and Granada, The 6 cordoba breakfast was delicious.

Barack Obama sure knows how to enthrall his citizens. In a video posted by the White House, the President of United States is seen strolling and having candid conversations with citizens who looked excited at meeting their leader.
Obama surely made a lasting impact on Washington DC residents with his easy nature and a suit that accentuated his regal status.
President Obama was heading over to the nearby Department of the Interior from the White House and decided to break with tradition.
Here's what the White House shared:
"The bear is loose!" President Obama surprises people on the street as he walks from the White House to @Interior → http://t.co/w5dV9vRptz

Obama chatted with tourists, shopkeepers and young people during his walk to and from the Interior Department. He enquired about their work, life, business and also clicked pictures with them.
In the video, one lady asks, "Are you real?". In his response, Obama said that he was indeed one.
Another asked him if it was okay to get a picture and as soon as Barack Obama agreed, she said, "Omygosh! Someone's gonna think you're wax."
