Rated 5 out of 5 by Obieone Very Together, happening place NIce people. Great facility. A lot of small touches. Recommend it to anyone that wants a personal touch. I was there for a conference but loced the place. Hated to leave. amilies in the hotel. SIngles. Nice bar. Food good. September 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by LarRus some added attention ... might be given to 1st time" guests who are not familiar with the property, exlaining the "living room", "Wet", "Rooftop- bar" etc. Could not figure out where to hang the towel prior to taking a shower so it was accessible (?) little things like this and helping the guest better understand/appreciate the property would go a long way in customer service and satisfaction. You ahve a great property; it owuld have been stellar with a little more attention to detail. Thanks! September 19, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by John01 Check Your Bill!!! Very recently stayed there for my brothers wedding. Would say service (besides one bartender) was pleasant and food was above average. The problems began after I checked out. WOW!!! Try $2,000 plus charges for three consecutive days on my credit card. Everyday a different $2,000 + charge. Then try calling for assistance. "I will investigate this and get back to you" is something you really want to hear about $7,000 being charged on a $700 stay. When they got to the bottom of it they had charged me three times for the same bar bill because they claimed the Food and Beverage Manager had a verbal agreement with someone else to charge my room. The bill was signed to his room, but apparently you can just tell them to charge someone else. So they charged me three separate times for the same bar bill that was someone else's. Days later was still not resolved. I've stayed at Starwood's from California to Cairo, so I can't say this is typical of them, but it quickly became the worst hotel experience I've ever had. Makes me want to cancel my Westin stay in two weeks. September 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by zpstm Good but internet issues annoy Location is good, room was nice. I have major major issues with the internet gouging. $15 dollars on top of room price is ridiculous and insulting. To add insult to injury was the fact that the internet did not work well enough to watch netflix. Yes, I spent $15 for nothing. We didn't utilize the in room wifi after the first night obviously. Felt like a severe rip off to me. I won't be using another hotel that does not include wifi and good functioning wifi at that, W included. September 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by zeMinimalist Great, but lacking in small details I had a few issues that will make me look elsewhere next time I stay in San Diego. Internet wasn't free. Room and hotel was a living breathing advertisement for car companies. No hot tub. I do admit, everything else was great. September 16, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Unhappy1221 So disappointing Very excited to go to the W. We checked at night and there were cleaning supplies left in the room, there were no towels. Upon requesting towels, we then spent the rest of the night trying to have someone actually bring the towels to us. We were excited to hear the pool was open 24 hours until we saw the pool. pathetic to even call it a pool. more like a large tub. They surround the room with mirrors to look like the pool would be acceptable size. Im upset starwood even lets the W use their name. September 12, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by RoadWarriette Just too many issues I stay in W and Starwood brand hotels at least 5 times a year so when my floors were being redone I chose the W here in SD for an 8 day stay. I also recommend properties to traveling co-workers so I figured this was a good way to see the hotel. At this point it has been a comedy of errors. I have no idea if I should laugh or cry. First Issue: I put my roommate on the account from day one and yet I was woken up at 1am twice to confirm I knew him so he could get a new key. Our keys had to be rekeyed/replaced daily. This was finally resolved by day 6. While we got apologies the fact that it happened repeatedly was ridiculous. Issue 2: When I checked in I was not recognized as a gold member, not offered an upgrade nor welcomed at all until I mentioned it. The clerk then said "oh do you want internet as your gold amenity?" I said yes and she then explained how it worked and that it would be removed from my bill. She also did not offer me make a green choice. Imagine my surprise when the internet charge showed up on my bill. At this point I have asked 4 times to have it removed. I was told consistently that accounting, the night auditor and "I" would take care of it. So far 5 days and counting no resolution. Issue 3: Back to make a green choice. I really like this feature and try to take advantage of it whenever I stay with SPG. I asked about it on night 2 and was assured it was added to my account. The points never showed up despite receiving service exactly twice during my entire stay. I think the main issue here is the no one communicates with anyone else. Whoever you talk to claims they will handle a problem or pass it on to the manager or accounting but nothing ever happens. It is almost like the staff just doesn't care. I know this isn't standard at W properties but this was a lot to take on one visit, especially since I was already displaced and just wanted to relax. I was also a little shocked at the cleanliness of the room. There were fruit flies or gnats when we checked in and some spots looked like they had never been vacuumed. The bugs are still here but I have come to peace with them. At least they are consistent. September 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by t2009 Disappointed in the pool and no ice machine on our floor W hotels always have a great pool, but the San Diego pool was super small - also there wasn't a ice machine on our floor. The staff was extremely helpfully, nice and respectful price off the room was perfect September 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robomojo13 Fabulous Staff and Fun/Funky Hotel The hotel is modern with very fun adds. The bar/lounge area with chess/tic tac toe and checkers. The Roof Top was beautiful with lovely night time views. Loved loved the window seat which also worked as a place for my teenage son to sleep. September 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by LARobert I will come back... The hotel and staff met my expectations from every aspect. Superior service and attention to individual needs. The Banquet staff was beyond exceptional! I could not believe how accommodating they were to my special dietary needs beyond what are group meals were offering. September 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Starwood6 Great staff!! Giovanna at the front desk checked us in and was extremely helpful and personable. We were very impressed with her throughout our stay from check in where she wished us Happy Anniversary, to the next day when she personally collected our luggage to store, to the chocolate covered strawberries we were sent for it being my 10th stay with Starwood, to our check out when she personally retrieved our luggage, to the valet who was consistently swift, friendly, and helpful and even gave us waters upon departure. A+ to the staff. August 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Fina This hotel was very clean and quiet This hotel was ok. The pics of the hotel are not what we really saw. I thought it would be very elegant and it was nice but not elegant. I was disappointed because it had NO coffee maker and no fridge in the room.There was a fridge filled with snacks that were offered by the hotel but we tend to bring our own drinks and we ad that we did bring our coolers. August 26, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by cutieangel Failure to provide basic services Cute hotel but it has some bad management problems. We arrived back at the hotel tonight on the third evening of a three-night stay to find our room uncleaned, our bed unmade, and the dirty, wet towels on the floor of the shower (we left our towels on the shower floor to make sure that the hotel service staff did not think we were so green that we didn't want clean, dry towels). We called downstairs to report the problem and to ask for some clean towels, as well as the two additional blankets we had requested this morning before leaving. The desk staff asked if we wanted our room to be serviced but it was almost 10 pm and we were too tired, and didn't want to have to go and hang out at the bar while waiting for our room to be serviced. My husband thought they should comp the room and told them so, but they offered him a measly $24 discount off the room rate for the inconvenience. After two calls and a 20-minute wait, the towels and blankets were delivered. Somewhat later, when my husband had drifted off to sleep, he was awakened and I was disturbed by aggressive knocking at the door and a loud voice. We tried to ignore it, but it did not stop so I quickly dressed and went to the door. It was a maid who wanted to service the room. It was now after 10:30 p.m.! The experience this evening was bad enough but it followed a fiasco this morning when the hotel's valet parking lost track of our car because they had filed the car keys under someone else's name. Cute and hip just doesn't make up for failure to provide basic services, such as clean towels and keeping track of your car. August 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FT57 LOVELY STAY The W San Diego is a lovely property with all the positive aspects of the W hotels. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, especially Eric (Valet), David (Front Desk), and Robbie (Bell Staff). These three could not have been nicer. They made us feel like truly valued guests. The room was spacious, clean, and had all the amenities. The one thing I would suggest is a spot cleaning and shampooing of the carpet. Not that it was real dirty, but it could use a touch-up. Also, some scuff marks on the lower sections of the furniture could be removed. This is not to say the room was dirty, in fact the opposite held true, it was very clean. The suggestions are for what are minor issues. August 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mike48 Could be a lot better The W in San Diego was a bit of a disappointment. The rooms were nice and the front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The pool and pool area is ridiculously small. They need to have more than one server in the "rooftop" bar (it's on the third floor). It took forever to get a drink and I finally gave up and left. Breakfast in the Kelvin is way over priced. $5 for tea that they giveaway in the lobby! My $4 croissant was stale and inedible. This hotel has a lot of potential but it just falls short. August 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by calibear7 Great hotel will definitely stay again!! great hotel staff. great look of hotel. rooftop great bar and lounge area great drinks. August 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by evie167 great service very helpful staff, good facilities, nice toiletries. August 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by DaveL19 Fun and Comfortable Stay! A recent UCSD graduation celebration leads me to the W San Diego. The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk from the famed gas lamp district so you're close but not too close. Travelers should note that the hotel is somewhat smaller than one would think if just browsing pictures on the internet. The rooftop bar is a great place to hangout. The valet service is quick and reliable (parking for valet is the empty outdoor lot, diagonally across from the hotel) but because the hotel is farther from the "action", hailing a cab, even for the Valet staff can be a bit challenging. I would not recommend guests walking to or from the Gas Lamp district at night as the surrounding areas are not very well lit and in some parts, questionable. August 8, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by crea W San Diego "A big Disappointment" July 2012 stay : room carpet soiled , electrical lighting non working and room itself slightly better than a dorm room TV issues ... we were moved to an identical room type which continued to have problems such as lighting not working obviously the staff do not have a checklist to ensure basic things like the bathroom wall ligts work or a look over of the carpets etc etc.. what made it worse was the parking fee added on to the bill for parking I didnt use August 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BK1980 Terrific stay! Great stay. The W-San Diego does a great job of recognizing SPG Platinum members - got an incredible upgrade on this one night stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooftop bar was enjoyable. August 5, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by LisaO0716 The Hotel needs some work I stay and Starwood Hotels and generally i am very sattisfied, but there were some challanges with the Hotel and our event during my stay. The Nats were BAD! Everywhere and got on my food, and drinks, it was totally nasty. Additionally i agreed to do the GREEN Stay so they wouldn't have to come clean daily, but found it odd they never came for trash or anything. Internet services - OVERALL TERRIBLE and everyone had issues through the entire stay no matte what room you were in. We paid 14.95 and it was NOT for 24 hours as the sign states and it rarely worked well so we had to our our HOT SPOTs from our own service and phone on our own dime after we had paid for the service of the hotel. Additionally when I was connected in my room, my admin was trying to connect to a device (it says you can have up to 3) and the tech support guy was completely and totally rude. Lastly the carpet is dirty and worn down and THEN The icing on the cake was my GM showed up and they had no room for him, when i had him checking in on that day the 29th of July. The room was NOT set up the way i had discussed with the planner, and i had to reqeust several adjustments. I could go on and on, but again the stay was average and there were a Ton of issues. August 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by DFP11 Not Up to Standard The staff at the front desk was great. The service at the upstairs bar were rude and complete jerks. The waitress and bartenders looked miserable, like they wanted to be anywhere else on the planet besides work. The pool was small and dirty, the fitness center was small and limited. The room was not clean. The carpet had tons of strains and the furniture was beat up. July 31, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ChadFlorida N/A Nothing like attempting to force one to write a review. The mattresses were worn out. July 31, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by PJ3223 PROBLEM WITH RESERVATIONS My reservation was wrong & it didn't get corrected until I checked out on Monday, 07/29/13. To explain the problem would take a page. The reservation and bill were the only problem, but it was frustrating. It seemed our group had many problems with their reservation. July 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MCRizzle Unique hotel in good location Hotel was quiet and the room was lovely. The shower was a bit strange with only a half door, but I loved the rainfall shower head. We enjoyed our stay. The room was clean. The carpet needed some updating, but other than that the room was modern. All staff we encountered were friendly and provided excellent service. July 29, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Helena603 Horrible, dirty, hotel. Not a 4-star hotel. BEWARE! We stayed for 7 days and had a problem every single day. We took pictures of urine soaked mattress, unmaintained room and filthy rooms. We were moved to a supervisor inspected room and it was still dirty and had urine soaked mattress. General Manager has still not contacted us even though we were promised a call while staying there by front desk. No real compensation was given and we paid A LOT per night. Was looking forward to this vacation all year long and am still upset over this. Common areas were clean and food was great but actual rooms were horrid. Many more problems with stay. VERY UNHAPPY! July 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by jk108 mixed review On the good side, the room I had on the 15th floor was quiet for downtown San Diego and I could leave my windows open at night (and If I want I could have the air conditioning on. The staff was very nice although they would write down requests that wouldn't occur. The food was excellent although a little expensive. The room had a lot of little things wrong with it like the tv and the phone and some electircal outlets. there was only one middle light for two beds. The beds were comfortable and the sheets clean and without chemical smell. The down pillows were great! But at first I had polyester (by accident) one that had sweat stains on it.. an oversight I'm sure but gross. The manager kindly sent us some deserts and smart water, which we appreciated. The deserts were fabulous. My main complants are that the location is not that great although once you know your way around it is okay. The music was very loud at night..ear damaging loud and although they lowered it for me at breakfast and early dinner. We could not go to roof or to lobby for drinks.. W\ Also we were charged for little things although they removed charges when asked. Coffee and tea in the morning were quite good. All in all, if money isn't a big concern and you don't have to be at the convention center all day, its a nice hotel. I would probably stay there again in other circumstances than a convention center event.. July 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Lisa7625 Walls Too Thin This was an absolutely lovely hotel, right up until I tried to go to sleep. The people in the room next to me were watching a movie, laughing, and then went to "bed". . . It was as if they were in my room instead of theirs. I heard eveyrthing they said and did. NOT COOL. I will not return. July 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous79 Excellent Service, Clean, Okay Location I was really impressed by the service - the staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean from the public areas to the rooms. It felt very new. The location is the only downside - there's not much in the immediate blocks surrounding the hotel particularly on the weekends since it is downtown. I would totally recommend staying here. July 17, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by BryanS Avoid This Hotel I was charged for valet parking which I did not use and I can not get it reversed. No response from management or billing, I spoke to someone on the phone who told me it was fixed and it wasnt. I am shocked this is a Starwood Hotel. I would not stay at a hotel where they will bill you for random extra charges. July 16, 2013

Murray & Guari Trial Attorneys Provide Tips For Driving Near Large Tractor Trailers
West Palm Beach, FL – Murray & Guari Trial Attorneys, a personal injury and auto and truck accident law firm in West Palm Beach, share some safety tips for motorists sharing the roadway with large trucks.
A fully-loaded large commercial truck can weigh 80,000 pounds and if you are in an accident involving a commercial truck, such as an eighteen-wheeler or other large freight carrier, the results are catastrophic and often fatal. A 2008 report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (http://www.nhtsa.org)
To reduce your risk of a serious accident, motorists and car drivers should:
* Avoid truck blind spots. Even with mirrors every vehicle has blind spots, especially trucks– areas in which the truck driver cannot see cars in nearby traffic. If you can't see a truck driver's mirrors or eyes, he/she can't see you. If your car is next to a large truck, either drive on past or fall back. If you are passing, try to drive your car on the left side of a large truck, where the blind spot is smaller.
* Use caution when passing a large truck. If you want to pass a big truck, try to pass as quickly as possible and hug the outside part of the lane. Pass on the left side whenever possible. After you pass a large truck, do not cut in front of it. Leave more space between you and the truck. Leaving this extra distance gives the truck driver the time to slow down or stop if something should happen on the roadway.
* Never follow a large truck too closely. If you follow too closely you will not be visible to the trucker, your own visibility to traffic in front of the truck will be severely limited, and it takes greater response time to maneuver around a large vehicle, or to slow and stop, if something happens (wet roads and weather conditions, tire blow out, flying debris, an accident). Try to keep 20 to 25 car lengths between the front of your vehicle and the back of a large truck.
* Give trucks extra room. Maintain a safe distance from the truck. Do not cut a truck off, watch your braking, and move your car into another lane if necessary. A loaded tractor-trailer or semi truck needs as much as 100 yards (length of a football field) to come to a complete stop. Trucks also make wide turns. Truck drivers sometimes need to swing wide to the left in order to safely negotiate a right turn especially in urban areas.
* Never drive distracted or drive aggressively. Do not drive distracted (using cell phones or texting) or drive aggressively around trucks (speeding, running red lights, pulling in front of trucks to quickly). Use patience and be courteous to truck drivers. Truck drivers have the same right to be on the roadway. Allow them to pass, merge onto or exit the highway, backup, make turns and do not cut them off.
Sharing the road with larger vehicles can be dangerous if you are not aware of their limitations. Always practice proper truck safety techniques when driving around big rigs.

Word Balloons: Best graphic novels of '09 are innovators
The explosion in quality graphic novels continued in 2009. This longer format continues to innovate; any one of these 10 graphic novels might have been the best of the year 10 years ago.
This week, Word Balloons will look at the best graphic-novel format comics released for the first time in the United States in 2009; next week, we'll look at the best periodical comic-book releases. 1. "Asterios Polyp": David Mazzuchelli moved from literate superhero crowd-pleasers ("Batman: Year One," "Daredevil: Born Again") to more personal independent work ("Rubber Blanket") and adaptations ("City of Glass"). Now, Mazzuchelli has released perhaps his finest work, a tale of an architect forced to change his world view. Asterios is a "paper architect," creating brilliant constructions that can never be built. His hubris leads to his fall in a book that can be seen as an updated Greek tragedy. Each character in the novel has his or her own particular illustrative style and color scheme; Mazzuchelli is using color to convey ideas in a way not attempted by most graphic novelists. The book is all about style, design and visual language, and Mazzuchelli is moving the discussion of all of these forward with "Asterios Polyp." 2. "George Sprott (1894-1975) ": Cartoonist Seth is a master of creating nostalgic longings, often for things that didn't really exist. His examination of the (fictional) life of Canadian broadcaster George Sprott does so, even while exploring the many not-so-great legacies of his title character. 3. "A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge": Nonfiction comics writer/artist Josh Neufeld follows the lives of six Hurricane Katrina survivors before, during and after the storm. 4. "Parker: The Hunter": Darwyn Cooke ("The New Frontier") adapts the first of Donald Westlake's "Parker" novels, which he wrote under the name Richard Stark.

Buried Photo Gallery
Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) is not ready to die. But when he wakes up 6 feet underground with no idea of who put him there or why, life for the truck driver and family man instantly becomes a hellish struggle for survival. Buried with only a cell phone and a lighter, his contact with the outside world and ability to piece together clues that could help him discover his location are maddeningly limited. What's more, he has only 90 minutes to be rescued. View photos from Buried.

• $$ • Mexican
From the people who brought us Bastille comes this glorious stageset of Colonial Mexico, dripping with wrought iron, Talavera tiles, and saturated bursts of color. A woman sits crafting tortillas on-site. As distinguished a place as this is to be—not to mention drink (there's a fine an enclosed deck area)—it's not quite as rewarding a place to eat. Unremarkable tacos and enchiladas may fill you up, but not memorably; better are the entree platters like the Yucatan-style grilled chicken, in a fiery three-pepper marinade with a side of (freakishly hot) habanero sauce. Poquito's emphasis on sourcing ensures natural and local meats, something you hardly ever see in Mexican restaurants. We can't speak for the sourcing of the, um, grasshoppers however; it was all we could do to eat the crispy bar snack fired with guajillo chiles and salt and lime. (On our visit these were not on the menu, but all we had to do was ask.)

Organic Buddhist Tea (Fo Cha)
I find this tea to be quite pleasant; it is very mellow and has an earthy sweetness that will bring your palate joy. This could be an everyday tea for you, but I prefer to savor it and only use it for special times when I have the chance to sit down and really enjoy it, dont waste this tea on the go. This also makes an excellent cold tea for hot summer days; it almost brings out more of the flavor after steeped, then refrigerated. I highly recommend this tea to all. Blessings

Representation of unity by binary forms
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: In this paper, it is shown that if is an irreducible binary form with integral coefficients and degree , then provided that the absolute value of the discriminant of is large enough, the equation has at most solutions in integers and . We will also establish some sharper bounds when more restrictions are assumed. These upper bounds are derived by combining methods from classical analysis and geometry of numbers. The theory of linear forms in logarithms plays an essential role in studying the geometry of our Diophantine equations.

The miserable Haitian kids
The Republic of Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. 80% of its population lives below the poverty line and 54% live in abject poverty. It is a country that is smaller than the state of Maryland, which has 28% arable land, yet it subsists on the spare production of the farming industry. Its environment has suffered extreme damage from extensive deforestation and the resulting soil erosion and inadequate supply of potable water.
Of the 8,308,504 people which comprise Haiti's population, only 3.6 million are in the labor force, and of this figure only 1/3 have formal employment. The population is significantly unskilled and uneducated. Only 52.9% can read and write . Rates of primary school enrollment are a mere 22% for males and 23% for females. Of those that do enroll in school, only 30% of males and 27% of females complete their primary education .
All the Children Are Children, Inc. is fighting for Haiti's renaissance. ATCAC believes in the country's strength and in its citizen's ability to overcome. It was the first black republic to declare its independence in 1804, and it struggled against dictatorship by inaugurating a democratically elected president and parliament in 2006. Haiti is taking progressive steps, but it needs the help of its neighbors to succeed. ATCAC acts as a conduit for change by focusing their efforts on education, health care, and economic development. Through these three avenues, Haitians will be given the tools to change their lives for the better.
Is there is any good reason why children have to suffer at such intences???

Recent Roxbury Reviews
An Amazing House!
We (two couples, 3 kids) stayed at the shell house and had a wonderfull time - the area around Roxbury is great and the house itself is both one-of-a-kind and very comfortable. Really spectacular architecture! We highly recommend it to others. Plattekill and Bellarye ski areas are close. 3 bedrooms and a loft so lots of room but sound does travel in the house. House was very well equipped in terms of kitchen, baths, linens etc. Very good views out on the mountain and easy to navigate in the snow.

Sanzar has announced a new-look Super Rugby format that will feature 15 teams competing over 24 weeks from late February to August.
The new competition guarantees each team a minimum of eight home matches and a 16-match regular season. A new six team finals series includes an extra round with two 'sudden-death' qualifiers before the semi-finals.
All teams will have a three-week bye while the tournament is suspended during the June International Test window, while the Tri-Nations series has also been given a new time slot in the calendar to run at the conclusion of Super Rugby.
The key features are:
– A 15th team playing in the Australian conference will be added to Super Rugby following a tender process open to all territories, and with Sanzar making the decision on the new side's location. A timetable for tenders will be released shortly to ensure adequate lead-in time is provided to the successful bidder
– The tournament will kick off in the last week of February and conclude in the first week of August, except in 2011 when the calendar will be shifted earlier to accommodate the World Cup
– Teams will be divided into three national conferences of five teams each. The new team will compete in the Australian conference
– Teams play the other four teams in their conference twice (home and away)
– Teams play four out of the five teams from the other two conferences (four home, four away). Each team will therefore play against 12 and not 14 Super Rugby teams in a season (opposition will change every year)
– All teams will have a three-week bye during the June Test window
– The three conference winners and three wildcard teams with the highest number of competition points from any conference qualify for the play-offs
– The wildcard teams and the conference winner with the least competition points will play an elimination round to meet the two conference winners with the greatest number of competition points in the semi-finals
– Tri-Nations will always kick-off in South Africa in mid-August and conclude with two of the three trans-Tasman matches in early October to allow for early release of Springboks to Currie Cup. The will allow for Tri Nations Tests between particular teams in particular countries to become permanent fixtures on the rugby calendar
'This new structure will enable us to further embed Super Rugby as the premier provincial competition in world rugby,' said Australian Rugby Union CEO John O'Neill. 'The extended season, the home and away local derbies and a new-look finals series – we are building on what has already been an enormously successful rugby tournament.
'This is an important and necessary evolution for Super Rugby and the fans, I'm sure, will embrace the changes we have made.
'From an Australian perspective, having a presence in the marketplace from February to August delivers us the capacity to compete with the other codes from a stronger and more compelling position. Australia is the only country in the world where four football codes compete head to head.
'Expanding the Super Rugby season presents us with a wonderful opportunity to further increase the profile and popularity of our game – and in the long term that will benefit Sanzar and the game worldwide.'
NZRU CEO Steve Tew said the agreement was a welcome one for rugby in New Zealand.
'We have said at every juncture that our preference was to maintain the three-country alliance and to build on it. We are delighted that we have reached an agreement which allows us to move the Super Rugby competition to a new platform which we believe will capture and excite rugby fans in all three countries. It will also create benefits for our players and Super Rugby franchises and give us a certain competition structure we can build on in future years and a protected window for our domestic competitions.'
The Sanzar partners will present the proposed structure to the rights-holding News Corporation by the end of June. Any new deal only comes into force from the 2011 season.

Monitor Arms
There are as many types of monitor arms as there are monitors, but, as a general ergonomic principle, you need to be able to raise and lower your monitor, to keep it at a comfortable eye level to prevent neck strain, and to move it throughout the day to prevent yourself from staying in the same position for too long.
Aside from height, depth and angle adjustability, an articulating arm eliminates clutter by affording you more desk space, and they help to manage unsightly cables. For users of our adjustable height desks, we highly recommend adding this accessory.
Use of a monitor arm can offer a more comfortable working position as well as free up valuable desk space. For factors you should consider read this Article on correct monitor positioning.

Hi Everyone,
We had our 20 week ultrasound a month ago, and the doc (a MFM specialist) said that everything looked good, but that he couldn't see the blood flow in the baby's heart. He said that we would need to come back for a 2nd ultrasound in 4 weeks. I thought, no big deal......just another chance to see my LO!
Well they have been lazy about scheduling, so I finally got someone on the phone yesterday and she says that it's not a regular 2nd ultrasound. We have to travel about 130 miles to a special hospital because the baby needs a heart echo?
Now I am worried. I thought it was no big deal before, and now I am wondering if there is more to this. Anyone experience this? Any ideas, thoughts?
Thanks in advance guys! This is really worrying me now. :(

Paramount Pictures
New: "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen"
Optimus Prime looked pretty imposing in cartoon form, but it's nothing compared to Michael Bay's live-action version. Fortunately, the audience only thinks OP bites the dust in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," the sequel to the first live-action "Transformers" film from 2007, until he returns, once again, to save the day. With Bay at the helm, the film drops the ball on character development and serves up a muddled plot, but the fighting sequences make up for the lack of depth.

Bull Valley is an affluent village in McHenry County, Illinois, United States. The population was 726 at the 2000 census.[1] However, at the 2010 census, the population was at 1,077.[2]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (January 2009)
McHenry County has gently rolling, glaciated terrain. Some of the County's larger hills border the rural area of East Central McHenry County between Crystal Lake, McHenry, and Woodstock. This area has long been called "Bull Valley." McHenry County was one of the fastest growing counties in the U.S. each decade from 1920 to 2000.[citation needed] Illinois law allows county government to rezone property to allow dense housing subdivisions without regard to the desires of existing residents, unless that property is located near a city or village.[citation needed] The Bull Valley Association hosted annual family parties as a social event. During one of these parties in the 1970s, several residents of the area decided to incorporate the Village of Bull Valley as a local government in order to have some slowing influence over the explosive growth of the area.
In the early years of the village, there was nearly no government infrastructure. Later, a small tax was assessed to provide for simple road repairs. By the 1980s, the village had hired a police officer part-time who shared time with the neighboring village of Prairie Grove.
Today the Village government occupies Stickney House, one of the oldest brick buildings in the area. This house was originally built without any corners due to the belief of the Stickneys that evil spirits could live in corners. While the village has grown, and even includes some subdivisions now, it remains rural, with areas of woods, farms, and low-density housing between the urban sprawl of Crystal Lake and McHenry. There is still no retail business in the village.
Bull Valley is located at 42°18′58″N 88°22′1″W / 42.31611°N 88.36694°W (42.316132, -88.366815).[3]
According to the 2010 census, the village has a total area of 8.76 square miles (22.7 km2), of which 8.75 square miles (22.7 km2) (or 99.89%) is land and 0.01 square miles (0.026 km2) (or 0.11%) is water.[4]

At the 2000 census,[5] there were 726 people, 268 households and 217 families residing in the village. The population density was 129.4 per square mile (50.0/km²). There were 281 housing units at an average density of 50.1 per square mile (19.3/km²). The racial makeup of the village was 96.69% White, 0.55% African American, 1.10% Asian, 0.14% Pacific Islander, 0.69% from other races, and 0.83% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.20% of the population.
There were 268 households of which 28.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 76.9% were married couples living together, 3.4% had a female householder with no husband present, and 19.0% were non-families. 15.3% of all households were made up of individuals and 8.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.71 and the average family size was 3.04.
Age distribution was 25.1% under the age of 18, 4.5% from 18 to 24, 19.3% from 25 to 44, 35.7% from 45 to 64, and 15.4% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 46 years. For every 100 females there were 85.7 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 88.2 males.
The median household income was $102,693, and the median family income was $109,147. Males had a median income of $73,750 versus $37,188 for females. The per capita income for the village was $54,022. About 1.4% of families and 2.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 3.1% of those under age 18 and 6.6% of those age 65 or over.

It turned out to be just as big of a mismatch on the field as it appeared to be on paper going into the game.
No. 5 Bakersfield High started out strong and never let up in claiming a 63-7 Central Section Division I first-round playoff victory over No. 12 Clovis East on Friday night at Griffith Field.
BHS (9-2) scored touchdowns on three of the first seven plays it ran from scrimmage, pulling to a quick 21-0 lead en route to an easy win against the Timberwolves (2-9).
"We had probably one of the best weeks of practice we've had in a long time," BHS coach Paul Golla said. "The last four weeks we've had great practices. We're really excited about where we're at right now as a program."
The Drillers will next face No. 4 Fresno Central, a 55-15 winner over No. 13 Tulare Union.
BHS outgained Clovis East 508-124 despite playing its backups for most of second half.
The Drillers, led by quarterback Asauni Rufus, scored touchdowns on five of their seven first-half posessions and led 35-7 at halftime.
Rufus finished with 341 total yards and five touchdowns (three passing and two rushing).
"I'm extremly proud of the way we bounced back from our previous losses and I think finally we're getting back up to speed," Rufus said.
"I think this was a great team performance. My O-line did a great job blocking for me. I just ran the holes, made my reads and everbody else made the great plays to spring me."
Rufus completed 6-of-9 passes for 194 yards and three touchdowns in the first half.
Three of his first four passes went for touchdowns.
Rufus was just as dangerous on the ground, breaking away for a pair of long touchdown runs, one in each half, including a 56-yard burst up the middle to cap BHS' first posession of the second half.
"He's gotten better throughout the year," Golla said. "He's such a worker, not just out here but also in the classroom. He's the full package and we're proud of him."
Kevin Hayes also had a huge game for the Drillers. After Derrick Vickers capped BHS' three-play, 45-yard opening drive with a 16 yard touchdown run, Hayes went to work.
On the Drillers' next possession he caught a short pass, broke a tackle, and then raced into the end zone for a 64-yard TD.
Hayes made it 35-7 with 4:02 remaining in the first half after he scored on a 39-yard touchdown on a go-pattern in which he blew blast the defensive back assigned to cover him.
Hayes credited the Drillers' success to a good week of practice.
"We think if you go hard in practice, it's going to be even easier in the game," Hayes said. "We just treat every play at practice as a game-situation."
The Drillers' only offensive misteps of the first 24 minutes came late in the first half.
A fumble ended a BHS possession at the Clovis East 36-yard line.
Then following an interception by Hayes with under a minute remaing before halftime, Parker Campbell missed a 36-yard field goal attempt wide to the right.
Hayes, who set up the attempt with a 35-grab from Rufus, finished the night with four catches for 152 yards, all in the first half.
Vickers added three touchdowns for BHS, which had its highest scoring output of the seasaon.
Vickers ran three times for 50 yards and two TDs and caught two passes for 38 yards and another score.

Erickson said dividend payments will again increase in 2008. "Our Board of Directors has increased our dividend payment for the 33rd consecutive year. The increase brings the annual indicated dividend rate to $1.19 per share, a $0.02 increase over the 2007 rate."
Segment Performance Summary
Electric segment revenue and net income were $323.5 million and $24.5 million, respectively, in 2007 compared with $306.0 million and $24.2 million in 2006. The increase in electric revenue was due to a $16.0 million increase in retail revenues and a $1.8 million increase in other electric revenues, offset by a $0.3 million decrease in wholesale and net energy trading revenues.
The increase in retail revenues includes $8.4 million in increased fuel-clause adjustment (FCA) revenues mainly related to an increase in purchased power costs in the fourth quarter of 2007 to replace generation lost during a scheduled major maintenance shutdown of Big Stone Plant. The increase in retail revenues also includes $7.6 million related to a 3.3% increase in retail kwh sales. Residential kwh sales increased 4.0% due, in part, to a 9.6% increase in heating degree days. Increased oil and ethanol production in our electric service territory and surrounding regions contributed to a 3.3% increase in commercial and industrial kwh sales. The $1.8 million increase in other electric revenues is related to an increase in revenues from integrated transmission agreements, reimbursement of system operations costs from the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator and electric system construction work performed for other companies.
Electric operating expenses increased $21.8 million, which includes
increases of $18.2 million in fuel and purchased power expenses and $3.3
million in other operating and maintenance expenses. Fuel

Cabinet will discuss draft declaration and proposed Peace Clause
India's interest will be "secured" and the country's sovereign space and right will be "non-negotiable" at the 9th World Trade Organisation (WTO) Ministerial Conference in Bali, Union Commerce Minister Anand Sharma has said in a communication to Leaders of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, as well as of major political parties.
Next week, the Union Cabinet will consider a mandate on India's position at the WTO on several issues, including trade facilitation and the Agreement on Agriculture.
The Cabinet will discuss the draft declaration and the proposed "Peace Clause" that will give India a "protective umbrella" against penalty for breaching permissible food subsidy limits in WTO. Some of the developed countries have raised concerns over India's food security law which they say will "distort markets."
The issue has assumed serious proportions as apprehensions have been expressed in several quarters about India's stand which might be against the Parliament enacted National Food Security Act that provides for subsidised foodgrains to 67 per cent population.
On Saturday, Chairman of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Commerce and former Union Food Minister Shanta Kumar urged the government not to accept the current formulation of a "Peace Clause" offered by WTO chief with regard to the Agreement on Agriculture and the Policy Space related to food security as it will impact India's small and marginal farmers.
Declaring that he intends to discuss the issue in the Standing Committee, he said, "Since food security is a matter of utmost importance for the country, the subject requires wider consultation in Parliament and with State governments."
In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Mr. Kumar said he had received representations from farmers' organisations expressing concern over the "proposed Peace Clause [for agriculture subsidies] as part of the Bali package, which is a temporary measure [to ward off disputes] with unfavourable conditionality."
"It is apprehended that the Peace Clause which is contained in the negotiating text would disturb our procurement system, thereby adversely affecting small and marginal farmers through MSP. I think the conditions imposed by the WTO are not in the interest of our farmers."
On Friday, the former Union Secretary E.A.S. Sarma appealed to Chief Ministers to "question the appropriateness of the Centre in taking any stand at the WTO negotiations that could compromise the National Food Security Act and the States' own food security schemes."
In a letter to all Chief Ministers he asserted that in a federal system, the political executive at the Centre has an obligation to take States into confidence in all such matters. "The implications of the Peace Clause were not discussed adequately in Parliament. Such an approach defies the spirit of our Constitution and makes light of the supremacy of Parliament. It should, therefore, be resisted by the States.''
Earlier he had written to UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and all parliamentarians on the issue.

CUTTACK: Central Rice Research Institute (CRRI), the premier rice research centre of the country here has come up with at least 11 new high-yielding varieties of rice, five of which are exclusively suitable for cultivation in Orissa.
With this achievement, the Institute now claims to have released 76 rice varieties for different ecosystems ever since its inception in 1948. "Of these, at least 44 varieties are suitable for Orissa", informed the Institute Director T. K. Adhya here on Monday, just two days before the 64th Foundation Day of CRRI.
Dr. Adhya said the new rice varieties were recently released by the Central and State committees for general cultivation in different parts of the country.
While varieties like—CR Dhan-701, CR Dhan-601, CR Boro Dhan-2, CR Dhan-401 and CR Dhan-501 are released by the Central committee for cultivation in States like Bihar, Gujarat, Assam, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh, the Orissa State sub-committee has released CR Dhan-801, CR Dhan-401, CR Dhan 402, CR Dhan-403 and CR Dhan-901 for cultivation in the State, Dr. Adhya informed.
The Scientists of the Institute pointed out that among the five varieties released for the State; two are extremely favourable for the coastal saline areas of Jagatsinghpur and Kendrapara districts. "These varieties can give a yield of 3.5 to 4.0 tonnes per hectare having duration of 150 to 155 days", the Director said.
Besides, the Institute has also released an aromatic variety—CR Dhan-901 which has been developed from Chinikamini, a popular land race of Southern Orissa having a yield potential of 3.5 tonnes per hectare.
It may be mentioned here that the Institute had last released new scented rice—Geetanjali and Ketakijoha which have found a niche in Orissa climate and are popular among farmers.
Dr. Adhya also pointed out that apart from developing high-yielding varieties, the Institute is also engaged in developing agro-technologies for benefit of rice farmers.
"In this category we have found out that at least three rice varieties which can grow in minimum water requirement.
This water-saving rice growing technique is known as aerobic rice where water requirement could be lessened to 30 to 35 per cent than the traditional requirement", he said.

For my Hassey, I have bought and used respooled Kodak Aerial 2524 IR film from www.davidromano.com. It's the same emulsion as Kodak HIE and works great.

For my Hassey, I have bought and used respooled Kodak Aerial 2524 IR film from www.davidromano.com. It's the same emulsion as Kodak HIE and works great.
Thanks, you're right! The sun is shining so I checked with daylight, and the 87 filter requires about 10 stops more exposure. I'll check the extra exposure needed with my studio and 'camera' flashguns next time i set them up. (I've got some ND filters I can use to reduce the non-IR exposure with)Quote:

There's a lot of information on infrared film at http://www.cocam.co.uk/CoCamWS/Infrared/INFRARED.HTM including exposure guidelines with different filters and development times.
Mike - What an excellent source of Infrared Information. Thank you very muchly!
Theres also this:
and you can subscribe to the Infrared Digest by sending an email the the subject line SUBSCRIBE INFRARED to firstname.lastname@example.com
The webpage also has links and information on ultraviolet photography.
I thought that Konica was just as sensitive to the visible spectrum as the Maco 820 and Ilford SFX films.
I have found that the Maco 820 film works best with either the 88A or 87 filters; anything less and you won't see the IR effect. Ilford SFX gives a good IR effect with an 89B/R72 filter.
I've never heard of an anti-curl layer on the Maco films. I know there's an anti-halation layer on the 820c Precision film. How warm was your water?

A good friend of mine was kind enough to give me a book called: Infra-Red Photography, A Complete Workshop Guide.

The only drawback is that Maco was just releasing their IR film and there is not too much info on it. Ive found it extremely useful; its chocked full of incredible images and a bunch of Portfolios.
The ISBN# is 0 86343 373 1 Fountain Press, 2001. There may be an updated version.
Happy Days

The Maco film, when washed, should have a blue/blue-green color to the water when you pour it out of your tank. This is normal for this film.
The MACO 820c films (there are two, one is just 820c & the other is 820c AURA) work best (i.e. get the best IR effect) with either an 88A or an 87 filter. I'm glad that these films are available in 4x5 & 8x10 sizes. :)

Who knew you could create so many beautiful things with paper? Snowflakes, Sunbursts, and Stars gives you 75 exquisite paper designs to cut, fold, and curl. Whether you've been paper crafting for years and are looking for some fun new designs or you're a newcomer looking to learn the basics, there's a project in here for everyone. Using three paper crafting techniques, origami, kirigami, and quilling, this book shows you how to create gorgeous paper crafts to use as decorations, place cards and more.
Organized into four chapters, the book covers everything from the basic tools and techniques you'll need to know in order to make your projects, to the step-by-step instructions for the patterns themselves. Each design is as unique and special like a snowflake. With easy-to-read instructions and vivid images to guide you through each step, you'll be able to create these lovely paper crafts in no time. They organize the designs by technique, then type of project (star, sunburst or snowflake), then difficulty level of each project, making it super easy to find the design suited to your skill level.
A bonus section offers suggestions for projects using your newly-made snowflakes, starbursts and stars. From home decorations like the Quilled Window Ornaments you can hang in your window or on your door, to jewelry like the Origami Earrings featuring a bright sunburst dangling from the end, there are so many ways to use your beautiful paper designs.
With projects inspired by nature, you can create a snowflake as unique and special as the ones floating outside, or a star as pretty as ones hanging in the night sky. This book is perfect for any DIY lover looking to learn a new skill or create something you can use in so many other projects.
