Safran Group delivered 1,406 CFM56 engines over the course of 2012, nearly 100 more than in the previous year.
It has also secured a backlog of nearly 10,000 orders and commitments for its CFM56 and Leap family powerplants, some seven years' production.
The group's aerospace propulsion division turned in €7 billion ($9.2 billion) in revenues, a 14.6% increase, which it attributes to a "strong rise" in civil deliveries.
Civil aftermarket revenues rose by 9.4%. Safran says this increase was driven by "first overhauls" of recent CFM56s. Service revenues within the propulsion division represented a 47% share.
Safran's aircraft equipment sector recorded €3.7 billion in revenues, a rise of 19%, as production rates increased for the Boeing 787, Airbus A330 and A380 programmes. There was also a gain from "recovery" in the regional jet market, it says.
Nacelle activity increased, notably for small nacelle deliveries, while harnessing and landing-gear activity showed "robust performance", adds Safran. Service revenues for the sector were lifted by carbon-brakes growth, and increased by nearly 10%.

MERIDIAN -- The long-awaited Meridian Town Center development is quickly gaining new tenants.
Developers tell KTVB that Marshalls, Gordman's, Petco, Gap Outlet, and Chick-fil-A are among the new retail businesses set to open later this summer near the intersection of Eagle and Fairview Roads.
CenterCal properties announced its intent to develop the $250 million retail space last July. Previous plans had been halted due to the recession in 2007.
The company is based in El Segundo, CA.
On Tuesday, CEO and found Fred Bruning told KTVB that Centercal has already rented over 200,000 square-feet of the project's current retail space to several other new business he can't yet name due to confidentiality agreements.
What I can tell you is that many are national stores in the fashion, home category, and other tenants that everyone in Idaho will recognize, Bruning said.
Currently, Big Al's sports bar, bowling alley, and arcade is the only business currently under construction in the development. Plans call for the popular chain to open in July or August.
Bruning told KTVB that he expects more than 100 tenants to eventually sign retail lease agreements on the three-phase project, which should be completed by spring of 2014.

Sore and Aching Muscles 3 0
Approval Ratings
[YEA] I have two older, high school brothers that both play hard core football. Football season just ended but they would both come home after games and complain to my mom that they were very sore. My mom told them to sprinkle epsom salt in my bathtub with water and soak in there for about 30 minutes. They came out feeling so much better and not near as much tense. I would suggest drinking ice cold water during your bath and doing something relaxing ex. Reading a book or listening to music. They did that every night when they were sore and felt amazing!! Good luck! Tip: my mom recomends putting in enough epsom salt to where it's almost milky.

The fastest, simplest way to stay close to everything you care about.
An information network
Twitter is a real-time information network that connects you to the latest stories, ideas, opinions and news about what you find interesting. Simply find the accounts you find most compelling and follow the conversations.
At the heart of Twitter are small bursts of information called Tweets. Each Tweet is 140 characters long, but don't let the small size fool you—you can discover a lot in a little space. You can see photos, videos and conversations directly in Tweets to get the whole story at a glance, and all in one place. See it in action.
You don't have to tweet to get value from Twitter
You don't have to build a web page to surf the web, and you don't have to tweet to enjoy Twitter. Whether you tweet 100 times a day or never, you still have access to the voices and information surrounding all that interests you. You can contribute, or just listen in and retrieve up-to-the-second information. Visit fly.twitter.com to learn more about what's yours to discover.
Twitter around the world
Twitter was founded in San Francisco, but it's used by people in nearly every country in the world. The service is available in more than 20 languages, and we continue to add them. You can change your language preference in your user settings with just a few clicks.
Twitter on the go
Experience Twitter on your mobile device by using one of our free Twitter apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry and Windows 7. To get the latest apps, go to twitter.com/download on your mobile device.

I would not feel completely confident using this tool with a class and would not use it for students to follow me yet as there are some drawbacks. I sometimes get messages to follow some dubious people. I ignore them and the message has usually been deleted within a few hours. Also, a disgruntled student could write anything they like, which can be worrying.
Overall, a great way to network and find inspiration. I would recommend other teachers follow other teachers.
Twitter can also be used by educators in the classroom by sending messages (also known as "tweets") about homework assignments or what may be going on the class on any given day. Students are then able to "follow" their teacher's tweets and avoid risking missing assignments. I recommend Twitter as a fun, casual way for teachers to communicate with their students.

Ombudsman probing Malampaya fund misuse
The case of the alleged misuse of some P1.782 billion in Palawan's share from the Malampaya Fund in 2009 by former Gov. Joel Reyes and local officials is undergoing a preliminary investigation in the Office of the Ombudsman, according to Commission on Audit Chairperson Grace Pulido-Tan.
Tan in an interview said she was pleased to note that the celebrated case was finally moving as a result of the improved coordination between government frontline agencies involved in the anticorruption drive.
The money represented the share of the local government units of Palawan—from the provincial, city and municipal down to the barangay levels—that host the geothermal plants and support facilities of the Philippine National Oil Corp.-Energy Development Corp. (PNOC-EDC).
The Commission on Audit (COA) recommended the filing of at least 23 criminal charges for violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, the Procurement Act and the Revised Penal Code against the officials.
Tan said she learned the National Bureau of Investigation had also come out with its own report on the case.
Among the irregularities the COA found were the noncompletion or outright nonexistence of projects that had been reported as having been completed; the falsification of documents; the failure to follow procurement processes according to law; violations of bidding procedures, and the existence of a roster of contractors who turned out to be the officials themselves.
"It's very difficult to zero in on specifics because the (violations) were scattered all over the place," Tan said.
The COA chief did not reveal the names of the other officials so as not to preempt the Ombudsman investigation.
Tan said the Malampaya case resulted from closer coordination and mutual assistance between the Ombudsman and the COA.
"What happens is we do an audit and if we find that there may be something there that … should be dealt with under the criminal justice system, we refer the matter to the Ombudsman," she said.
The audit report failed to establish a link between former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and the release of about P495,019,000 of the Malampaya Fund.
The COA stressed that while the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) had said that the disbursements were carried out on the "verbal instructions of then President Gloria M. Arroyo," the audit had failed to produce documentary proof of such a directive.
It said that the DBM, in a Memorandum for the President dated May 14, 2009, had sought confirmation of the instruction. But the COA noticed that the reply of Arroyo, if there was any, was not among the documents submitted to the state auditors.

Official: Rivera plane plummeted almost straight
"She really inspired us as female Hispanics to move forward in life," said fan Rosie Sifuentes at a vigil in Lynwood, California.
At Rivera's father's house in Lakewood, California, fans and neighbors walked up the driveway and hugged Pedro Rivera Jr., Jenni's brother.
A distraught Pedro recalled his last conversation with his sister at church when they were taking a collection to buy Christmas toys for needy children.
He said his sister gave him $5,000 to give to the children. "She said, `I just want to see them smile. I just want to see them happy.' All she wanted was to see the happiness in people. And then she gave me a big hug. She said, `I love you, brother.'"
He said he was later watching television and wanted to send a text message to his sister to say that he loved her. "But I didn't because I thought maybe she's busy, maybe she's just barely getting out of singing or something ... You just regret those moments."
Another brother, Juan Rivera, still held on to hope that his sister would be found alive.
"In our eyes, we still have faith that my sister will be OK. We have no confirmation of her body being recovered, dead or alive," he told reporters.
The California-born woman known as the "Diva de la Banda" died as her career peaked. She was perhaps the most successful female singer in grupero, a male-dominated Mexico regional style, and had branched out into acting and reality television.
A 43-year-old mother of five children and grandmother of two, she was known for frank talk about her struggles to give a good life to her children despite a series of setbacks.
She had recently filed for divorce from her third husband, former Major League Baseball player Esteban Loaiza.
Rivera recently won two Billboard Mexican Music Awards: Female Artist of the Year and Banda Album of the Year for "Joyas Prestadas: Banda." She was nominated for Latin Grammys in 2002, 2008 and 2011.
Besides being a singer, she appeared in the indie film Filly Brown, which was shown at the Sundance Film Festival, and was filming the third season of "I love Jenni," which followed her as she shared special moments with her children and as she toured through Mexico and the United States.
She also had the reality shows: "Jenni Rivera Presents: Chiquis and Raq-C" and her daughter's "Chiquis `n Control."
Two of her five brothers, Lupillo and Juan Rivera, are also well-known singers of grupero music. Her parents were Mexicans who had migrated to the United States
The Learjet 25, number N345MC, with Rivera aboard was en route from Monterrey to Toluca, outside Mexico City, when it was reported missing about 10 minutes after takeoff.
The cause of the accident has not been determined
The plane was registered to Starwood Management of Las Vegas, according to FAA records, and was built in 1969.
According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the twin-turbojet was substantially damaged in a 2005 landing mishap at Amarillo International Airport in Texas. It hit a runway distance marker after losing directional control. There were four aboard but no injuries. It was registered to a company in Houston, Texas, as the time.

10 green retro activities making a comeback
Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 6:04 PM
Call it nostalgia. Call it recession-era thinking. Whatever the reason, more people are interested in simpler living. They're trying to get away from factory-produced food and goods and seeking low-tech machines and local, back-to-basics approaches to everyday life — all of which is good news for the planet. As the following trends illustrate, emulating the past can mean a more authentic, low-energy, reduced-carbon lifestyle.

Alice Waters, the renowned restaurateur and cookbook author, founded a project in Berkeley in 1995 called the Edible Schoolyard. Her goal was to teach inner-city children the value of homegrown fruits and vegetables as a way to combat obesity.
Her assumption was that if we teach children how fruits and vegetables are grown, and if they are given the opportunity to cook and eat these freshly harvested vegetables, they will prefer them.
The project was so successful that today thousands of cities in America and abroad have established similar programs. Our first lady, Michelle Obama, made it her cause to combat childhood obesity and began by planting an organic garden at the White House, where children from selected schools nearby are taught to grow, harvest and cook homegrown foods.
I was introduced to Martha Prusinskas, the head gardener of a garden in National City, several years ago when a friend, who is connected with a sponsoring organization, the International Community Foundation, thought I might be able to help start a similar project. I was not able to do so because of time, but I kept in touch with Martha as I regularly buy her garden-fresh vegetables and organic eggs. By good fortune, the foundation did find someone, Ann Cooper — known as the renegade lunch lady and chef — who helped raise funds for the project in National City. A community and garden resource called the Olivewood Gardens and Learning Center was founded in February 2010. Chef Julie Darling of Just Call Us Volunteers recruited local chefs to teach children from the National City School District, including Olivewood, Las Palmas and Central Elementary schools.

Inertia Speed = 34 / i where i is the the point where an extended line from the film's characteristic curve intersects at film based plus fog density.
Inertia Speed = 34 / i where i is the the point where an extended line from the film's characteristic curve intersects at film based plus fog density.
The converse happens when you develop the heck out of film. Once you decide to print on a flat paper, that paper needs more shadow separation, so you need to provide more shadow exposure.
The end result is that the speed doesn't change that much with development changes.
Don't forget that with extended development while the shadow gradient is increased, so is the overall gradient and with the Delta-X Criterion, the relationship remains the same. Also, the fractional gradient speed point defines the minimum useful gradient, not where to place the exposure.
The Delta-X Criterion will produce identical film speeds for a delta D = 0.80 as will the ISO method even though the speed point is approximately a stop below the ISO's 0.10 fixed density.
I understand what you are getting at. I actually came to similar results in the past, but for other reasons. Or by other means, by thinking about curves, overall contrast as well as local.
One when pushing keeping the speed constant to get a quicker contrast increase and to get a bit more off the toe as stated. I agree also about when pulling a film.
However for me, my taste I prefer a bit more dense shadow detail when pulling. Makes me feel more secure and if my shadows are a bit more dense I can manipulate them a bit afterwards
Basically meaning a selenium toning to strengthen the negative just in case something goes wrong.
I like to keep a backdoor open.
Certainly I will try this out the next time I am in the field.
This is all a very interesting thought.
I agree Stephen
What if we always expose and develop normal.
This is a topic I've tried to get people to think about (usually in the B&W processing and Enlarging forums as it is not strictly an exposure issue). My view, particularly when dealing with long subject luminance ranges, is that relatively mild ZS contractions are helpful, but that more extreme contractions and compensating procedures can result in more loss than gain. I still think that beyond a reasonable range, the goal of "fitting the negative to the paper" is flawed when it comes to the use of applied densitometry methods (ZS, BTZS etc). One must consider the printing process when making a negative exposure/development decision in the field. Developing printing skill and techniques allows one to view the negative slightly differently - as an information source. The goal in exposure and development of the negative then becomes more about recording the most information, not about trying to match the negative density range to a grade of paper.
I'm still working through some thoughts on the Nelson/Simonds paper, Delta-X and print judgement speeds so apologies to Stephen for the delay in posting more. I haven't had enough time yet. Please bear with me.
Michael, no worries. I still have about two more parts to do.
Just like with the ISO speed standard, there is much about film and paper matching that isn't readily accessible. Jones wrote a paper in the late 1940s, plus there's a basic tone reproduction concept that print quality requires the mid-tone reproduction gradient to exceed the mid-tone contrast of the original scene.
This is actually an interesting lead-in to some of my questions about print judgement and fractional gradient speeds. How were these print evaluation studies actually carried out? What was the subject matter? Who made the prints? Were there experimental limitations places on the printers? Who were the people looking at the prints? What specific feedback was solicited? Etc Etc.
I guess the thing I keep coming back to here is, we seem to have a situation in which we are asked to accept the evaluation of some group of people. What are their standards? Etc...

Should you buy from the Mac App Store or download directly from this site? – Purchasing from the Mac App Store (MAS) is very convenient; you usually don't need to enter your payment info, and you don't need to care about updates. On the downside, however, Apple imposes restrictions on apps sold through the MAS by forcing them into a sandbox, which has a few negative effects: Notebooks is unable to resolve hard links, and it is unable to use Acrobat Reader as plugin to display PDF documents. So if you rely on hard links or Acrobat Reader, or if you just don't like the idea of an app being restricted by Mac OS, you should download and purchase Notebooks from this site.

Сказать, что нам с мужем очень понравилось в Coconut Love B&B Apartment, это не сказать ничего!
Восхитительная природа и особая атмосфера уединения и спокойствия окружают вас. Пляж в ближайшей доступности, при желании можно потратить 10 минут времени и пешком дойти до национального парка с его обилием животного и растительного мира.
В центре городка есть достаточное количество приличных ресторанчиков с хорошей кухней, чтобы исследовать их на протяжении даже 2-3 недель и каждый день находить что-то новое. При этом город не обременён развитой торговлей для туристов, всё весьма скромно и спокойно.
Возвращаясь вечером домой, не удивляйтесь, если встретите ленивца, шагающего по проводам в сторону ресторанчика на берегу)
В море есть красивые коралловые рифы сo множеством морской фауны и флоры, и если Вы любите поплавать с маской, Габор поможет с лодкой и гидом.
Это замечательное место для отдыха на Коста-Рике. И не только благодаря удачному месторасположению, но и самим владельцам. Джессика и Габор - приятные и интересные люди. Общаться с ними одно удовольствие! Они проявляют действительно искреннее участие в любых вопросах, которые у Вас могут возникнуть и всегда готовы помочь. Никаких нареканий к комнатному сервису и замечательным завтракам у нас не возникло. Самые теплые и искренние пожелания им! Если мы когда-нибудь вернемся на Коста-Рику, то обязательно остановимся у них.
I have lived in Costa Rica before, so I knew going in there are many less than desirable locations to stay in, and I was a little nervous since this was our first airbnb experience. I was relieved of any stress in about 30 seconds upon seeing this place and meeting Jessica. She met us exactly on time, walked us through the keys, shower, schedule for breakfast and was very welcoming. She also gave some great advice on where to go in town to eat, buy bus tickets, and how to get to the national park. This place is very clean, off the beaten path but not a bad walk to the beach and town, and my wife and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we make it back to Cahuita. The only improvements we could think of might be some darker curtains for more privacy and the wifi is spotty. Although the curtain thing is minor and if you are worried about streaming netflix next to a Costa Rican beach, you are doing it wrong. Oh and Gabor made some delicious french toast. All in all a fantastic way to start our trip!
We had a really nice week staying at Jess and Gabor's place. The spacious studio we rented from them was just what we needed to feel comfortable in Cahuita. The fans in the ceiling kept it nice and cool and the hammock on the balcony was a plus, much appreciated and mainly enjoyed by our two young children! The kitchen, bathroom and bedroom were equipped with everything we needed and both Jess and Gabor were really helpful and wonderful addressing any other needs. They were happy to recommend where to go, refer us to places and give us their insight to make the most of our holidays. We really enjoyed their yummy breakfast and the nice chats we had with them. They are really interesting people, fun to talk to and we really felt we were among friends. Their son, Gavin, is adorable and our children liked playing with him and having him around too. We feel really grateful to have found such a clean, nice and well located place to spend our time in Cahuita and we couldn't have found better hosts. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone without a shadow of a doubt.
We were very pleased to be at Jessica and Gabor place. Both of them were very friendly, communicative and flexible. I could not have expected a better place to stay in Cahuita. If we came back to costa rica, we will try to arrange a longer stay here. Thanks again Jessica, Gabor and baby Gavin
We had an amazing time at Coconut Love. It was quiet, beautiful, and calming. The reliable wi-fi and great breakfast were particularly nice factors, but the whole place was simply rejuvenating. It was so nice to wake up to bird and monkey sounds and then have an amazing and delicious breakfast upstairs watching birds and the neighborhood.
Jessica and Gabor were both very helpful in arranging snorkeling and giving advice on other activities and places in the area, so we were able to have the perfect vacation for our tastes.
The apartment was comfortable and had everything we could have needed. Jessica and Gabor were also very accommodating if there was an issue (there wasn't). We didn't have any problem having hot water and they changed the sheets and towels every two days so things were fresh and nice. There's also a hammock looking out onto the garden that gets morning sun. If you are concerned about security, there's a gate and the place seems very secure.
This was my second time staying with Jessica and Gabor- super nice people and always willing to help with whatever you need, without being overbearing. The accommodations are basic but clean and secure. Their house and grounds are nicely furnished, and the breakfast they prepare is always great.
It can be a little difficult to find the house- it's about a 15 minute walk from town- make sure you note Jessica's directions. The first time I stayed here our flight was delayed so we arrived in Cahuita in the dark and we had to get a restaurant owner to call a cab for us, I never would have found Coconut Love in the dark. Also being that this is a small town cabs aren't always readily available- best to ask a shop owner to call a cab and not someone hanging out on the street, in my opinion. The first time I stayed with them we had a little bit of warm water, this time there was no warm water at all- I don't think they advertise warm water, and it's not a necessity, but just a heads up. Also, no AC, again they don't advertise it for this room but just something to be aware of. The fans in the house are totally sufficient to keep cool most of the (website hidden) isn't standard in Costa Rica anyway so get used to it.
Cahuita is a nice little town, quiet. The locals have always been friendly. I prefer the beach in the National Park as opposed to Playa Negra, which is rougher. Be careful of rip currents if you're going in the ocean, they sneak up on you so know how to get out of one before you go out- I know from experience- be careful!
Overall this is a great place to stay in Cahuita, it's a short walk to town or a short bus trip to the more lively Puerto Viejo (less than $2). I'd highly recommend Coconut Love to anyone looking for a nice, clean place to stay on the Caribbean coast.
Thanks for this very informative review ;) We do have hot water in the bathroom shower. If it wasn't working you should have let us know. So sorry that you thought there wasn't. This is why it is so important for our Air BnB guests to communicate properly with us so these things don't go unresolved.
First for non German speaking people: We very much recommend this place!
Mit unseren beiden kleinen Kindern (2 und 6 Jahre alt) waren wir drei Nächte bei Jessica und Gabor und haben uns auf Anhieb sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Wohnung hatte alles, was wir brauchten und genug Platz für unsere Kinder. Jessica aund Gabor waren sehr angenehme und nette Gastgeber. Wir haben uns sehr gut mit ihnen verstanden und uns sehr willkommen und gleichzeitig in unserer Privatsphäre respektiert gefühlt. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und wurde mit Hisbiskusblüte serviert, was toll war. Cahuita ist ein sehr stimmungsvoller Ort. Die Ecke von Cahuita, in der das Haus von Jessica und Gabor ist, ist sehr authentisch. Das hat uns besonders angesprochen. Der Nationalpark ist ein Traum. Man kann jede Menge Tiere dort sehen und schöne Strände besuchen. Die Kinder haben auch gern im Fluss beim Eingang vom Nationalparkt geplantscht. Dort war abends eine schöne Atmosphäre. Wir können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen!

HTG Announces the Importance of Preventative Care in Hemorrhoid Treatment
HTG announced the importance of engaging in preventative care for hemorrhoid treatment and avoidance following BoldSky.com's December 15th article entitled "Oral Care During Pregnancy."
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 09, 2014
BoldSky.com's December 15th article, "Oral Care during Pregnancy," prompted a response from HTG (HemorrhoidTreatmentGroup.com) urging readers to consider preventative care of vast import in the treatment of hemorrhoids. A quick comparison of natural hemorrhoid treatment and medical care reveals that natural prevention is far preferable to potentially expensive and uncomfortable surgeries and therapies to correct already-incurred damage. Just as India One cautioned expecting women to take care of their teeth to avoid disease and infection down the road, Hemorrhoid Treatment Group encouraged individuals with a history of hemorrhoids or suspecting hemorrhoid development to engage in preventative care.
Asha Das began her article with an acknowledgement of the vast number of responsibilities placed upon expecting women, in addition to health concerns. In spite of this, however, Das urged women to pay close attention to dental hygiene during pregnancy, as hormonal shifts can cause swelling of the gums, oral infections, and infant complications if proper hygiene is not observed.
Hemorrhoid Treatment Group believes that as with dental hygiene, failing to take proper precautions regarding diet, exercise, and digestive health can result in complications elsewhere in the body. HTG adds that one of the most common complications is the development of hemorrhoids, inflamed and painful blood vessels on or near the rectum. Though surgical and medical treatments exist to assist those afflicted with this bothersome ailment, a comparison of natural hemorrhoid treatment suggests that, in cases of mild outbreaks, natural methods are more cost-effective and may be more successful in preventing future outbreaks. HemorrhoidTreatmentGroup.com urges readers to take preventative measures rather than waiting for something to go wrong. HTG recommends that readers implement natural prevention methods:
1) Pay close attention to food consumption and avoid foods that may cause troubled digestion including (but not limited to) process foods, foods high in sugar content, and foods prone to causing gassiness or constipation such as dairy.
2) Engage in regular exercise—in particular, exercise that increases blood flow, such as yoga, or brisk walking.
3) Finally, pay close attention to digestive system indicators; do not strain when in the bathroom. Instead, listen to the body's natural indicators and use the restroom only when it is necessary.
While there are many different remedies for preventing and treating hemorrhoids, natural methods boast greater personal control, and are generally far less expensive. Natural treatment may include topical application of an astringent such as witch hazel, or may simply refer to the changes in diet and lifestyle that bring about healing. In prevention, natural methods are best, as they simply require changes to a sedentary lifestyle and high-sugar, unhealthy diet. Given time and effort, natural hemorrhoid treatment and prevention efforts provide many sufferers with lasting relief.
BoldSky.com's December 15th article entitled "Oral Care During Pregnancy" prompted HTG to remind readers that preventative care is a much better route than waiting until things are bad.

Gets my dog's mouth clean
posted 7 years ago
Not my number one product to use for dental hygiene, but it works. I find it easier to just administer it directly to my dog's mouth rather than his food since I did have a little hard time at first when I put it in his food. I don't like to necessarily think that my dog didn't go near his food much because of the product, but I just found it easier to give it to him directly so I could know that it was being put to good use.
Pros: Cleans teeth, effective
Cons: None that I can think of at the moment

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
The James New York
27 Grand Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Soho
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
For all the storied nightlife and high-end shopping in downtown Manhattan's Tribeca district, there's historically been a paucity of comparably stylish lodgings. That was then, as they say; this is now. The James is one of several design-conscious, nightlife-oriented boutique hotels in this corner of the city, and while it's probably more Gotham classic than downtown scene kid, it sets itself apart with a couple of flourishes.
One is an attention to fashion, visible before you even enter the hotel: the doormen's uniforms include a smart yet flamboyant sheepskin coat with a slightly rumpled top hat, and the rest of the staff is similarly boldly attired. Not a bad move for a hotel that aims for a segment of the fashion trade. And second is the bar, Jimmy, which, though it's modeled on a sort of idealized English pub, boasts a location like no pub we've seen — it opens onto the roof terrace, with its little plunge pool and its panoramic view of the Hudson and the downtown skyline.
The rooms are smallish by the standard of some other cities, but quite in line with the New York norm. An uncluttered and tightly composed look keeps them from feeling busy or cluttered, and here, as well, it's the details that count, things like rain showers and impossibly high-end linens.
Meanwhile downstairs David Burke proves the days of hotel restaurants as afterthoughts are over. The thoughtfully designed space mixes city and country motifs, and it's clear no less time went into planning the menu — hearty American classics with a side of whimsy.

What I liked:
The windows and the view. Also liked the minimal style in the rooms
What the hotel could do better:
Need to know that it's funky ingress and egress. Lobby is not on the ground floor but on the second floor, exit from the hotel is also not quite on the ground floor but down a set of stairs (or down a separate elevator) from where the elevators stop at ground, and the elevators to Lobby and/or rooms coincide with the line to get to the rooftop bar, so there's always a crowd and a line (although guests of the hotel don't wait in line.) It's a little uncomfortable and needlessly complicated and crowded.

Allan Mangahas ready for lead guard role with Blackwater, says coach
More News from Celest R. Flores
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—Even with Jeric Fortuna's departure, Blackwater won't have a lack of veteran point guard on its roster in its debut in the 2013 PBA D-League Foundation Cup on Thursday.
Allan Mangahas, a standout from Mapua who also suited up with Erase Plantcenta and PC Gilmore in the past, is expected to fill the void Fortuna left at the starting point.
"Allan [Mangahas] will now be in charge at the point," said head coach Leo Isaac of the 5-foot-10 guard with a good shooting touch from the perimeter.
Fortuna was the lead point guard for the Elite the past two conferences before he made the jump to San Miguel in the Asean Basketball League,
"Pressure 'yon siyempre, kasi malaking kawalan si Jeric sa team yung leadership niya," Mangahas told INQUIRER.net. "Pero maasahan nila ibibigay ko na lang best ko every game."
Isaac is also confident the Elite won't go astray with Mangahas, who also had quick stint with the Beermen in the ABL, as they clash with Cafe France at the 12 noon showdown at the Ynares Center in Pasig.
"I think the team will be in good hands under the leadership of Allan. He knows his teammates well," Isaac said.
Thursday's schedule features another triple bill with newcomer Jumbo Plastic and Boracay Rum seeking to rebound from Tuesday opening day loss.
The Giants takes on fellow newcomer Hogs Breath at 2 p.m. while the Waves collide with Informatics at 4 o'clock.

Welcome to Puff!!
Seems to be a few Puffers from around your way.
This is a discussion on Hello from Michigan within the New Piper Fish Forum forums, part of the Pipe Smokers Forums category; Hello, everyone. I've been smoking cigars for several years and decided to get into pipes a few months ago. So ...
Hello, everyone. I've been smoking cigars for several years and decided to get into pipes a few months ago.
So far, so good. I'm really enjoying it, and got geared up pretty quickly in the last couple of months.
Right now my go-to tobacco is Mac Baren Navy Flake, which to my palate is of medium body and strength, kind of how I like my cigars. I enjoy it more and more as I'm getting better at packing and technique, not only with pipes in general but flakes in particular.
Right now I'm trying to experiment with different tobaccos. After trying some Gawith Hoggarth Rum Flake, which I understand is only lightly cased with the Lakeland essence, I am absolutely positive that I am on the HATE side of the Lakeland fence. Soap soap soap.
Of the aromatics I've tried, my favorite is probably Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake. The tobacco flavor in that is foremost, and the vanilla is a complement to it. I just tried some C & D Autumn Evening, which I thought was just a little too much on its own, but I think it will make a great mixer; I have a feeling some rubbed out Mac B navy flake will go perfectly with some Autumn Evening. I'm about to order some Boswell's Chocolate Cream....sounds good and also another one I bet will mix well. I'm looking forward to trying Erinmore Flake, just because "juicy fruit" pipe tobacco sounds pretty strange but intriguing.
Another one of my favorites is Carter Hall. It's simple and one note, but damn it's good.
After doing some reading of reviews and checking out the forums, I decided to try S. Gawith 1792 flake. Let's just say it didn't agree with me. I don't doubt its quality, but to me it smelled like the bottom of a BBQ smoker and some sort of petroleum product. It irritated my throat and it was clear that it wasn't for me. After cracking the tin I've kept the contents in a Mason jar, and I only had one bowl out of it; if anyone wants to trade, let me know.
My next exploration will be Virginia tobaccos. I've had Mac Baren Virginia Flake, which I thought was good, but not very exciting. Does anyone have any recommendations of a straight Virginia to start with? GL Pease Union Square sounds pretty good...is that biting off too much to chew for a beginner?
I'll hold off on English mixtures till I get through the Virginias and then VaPers.
There's a ton of great info here, thanks to all the contributors.
Welcome to Puff!!
Seems to be a few Puffers from around your way.
I don't always drink beer,,,
OK, yes I do
Howdy and welcome from another Michigan guy here.
Glad to have you.
Have you tried The Oakland? Cool little bar in Ferndale.
Best regards, Tony
Beer and Cigars, gotta love it...
Krizzose when you are ready let me know and we will hang out and drink beer and smoke great cigars...
I personally love the GL Pease Union Square. I Also like the Sam Gawith Full Virginia flake. Well that is when I can get it. FVF seems almost impossible for me to find. I can also recommend trying Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug, and Fribourg & Treyer Cut Blended Plug both are quite good, and, to me at least, very smooth smokes.
I also ran across a deal over at pipes and cigars a bit back, that to my opinion, is very good. I'll pass it along to you in case you are interested, here is a link. Sweet Virginia Combo Sampler
Also welcome to puff!!!
Moose: That would great
Beebo: Thanks, I'll check it out.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
― Jimi Hendrix
Sounds a lot like my story, Chris! You're more well on your way than I am, that's for sure. Good luck and enjoy the best forum on the internet!
Thought I'd check back in after a few more months of smoking and experimenting.
I finally tried a English blend a few months ago (Peterson's Old Dublin). After a couple of bowls, my first impression was that Latakia just wasn't for me. I think I'll try blends where Latakia is a little more in the background, possibly Plum Cake or something like that.
I've tried quite a few different blends, but these are the ones I tend to go back to the most:
Mac Baren Club Blend (probably my favorite at the moment)
Mac Baren Navy Flake
Mac Baren Vanilla Flake
Orlik Golden Sliced
I don't own stock in Mac Baren, but their Navy Flake and Vanilla Flake were some of the first tobaccos I tried and I liked them, so I think I've been partial to the brand when trying new blends. I was a little worried when I cracked my first tin of Club Blend and there was a palpable campfire scent there which immediately reminded me of the Latakia I had recently tried and did not like. After further research, I found out it was dark fired Kentucky that gave off that scent. In any event, the wood smoke scent did not translate into the taste, which was very sweet and pleasant, with a solid tobacco flavor with nothing too harsh.
Pull up a chair Chris!

Hundreds of thousands of Christians across Britain and Ireland are joining in the 2013 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in churches across these islands.
In what it describes as "a drive to inspire generous giving and ensure a positive future", Christian Aid has invested in specially tailored fundraising training.
UK-based global development agency Christian Aid has launched a new movement to encourage young people to come together to tackle injustice.
This week the Anglican Bishop of Lincoln will be spending a cold winter's night in a stable to raise money for those without a roof over their head.
Dr Rowan Williams, who retires as Archbishop of Canterbury in January 2013, is to become chair of the board of trustees of Christian Aid.
As the world observes International Anti-Corruption Day today (9 December), the UK government is being asked to do more to end financial secrecy.
A noted evangelical from the black churches has been appointed by Christian Aid as the head of its new London regional team.
Christian Aid has welcomed the British government's promise to provide new money for poorer countries to adapt to the effects of climate change.
Christian Aid has welcomed a House of Commons committee's report on tax dodging by multinationals, which puts morality at the heart of the tax debate.
Christian Aid is urging the UK government to abandon its "shoddy" tax deal with Switzerland, after the German Parliament struck down a similar treaty.

This is a serious report about significant areas of concern, yet we are told that the government response will not be available until January. What mechanism exists to ensure that the Government's comments on the report will be available at the time the counterterrorism Bill goes through this House?]]>
"I revere the sanctity of life—but not at any cost ... why exit in the fog of sedation when there's the alternative of being alert and truly present with loved ones?"
There are also many Jewish clergy who have come to view assisted dying as a religiously valid choice for those who so wish. Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain writes:
"There is nothing holy about agony. If a terminally-ill person does not wish to live out his/her last few months in pain, for what purpose should they be forced to do so, and in whose interest is that life being prolonged?".
Over the years, Parliament has faced many serious issues: the abolition of slavery, the reform of abortion laws, the reform of laws on homosexuality, the abolition of capital punishment and, as recently as last year, the promotion of same-sex marriages. These issues do not sit comfortably with many in our community, but your Lordships' House is well equipped to deal with this particular matter in Committee.]]>
Some years ago, I was called out to a hospital following a near-fatal accident my younger brother had suffered. He was on a life-support machine and brain dead. After advice from those who looked after him, I agreed that the life-support machine should be switched off—a decision I never thought that I would have to make. I had all my happy recollections of him but, in that single moment, I was aware that he would never enjoy the quality of life which we often take for granted. That memory has stayed with me all my life. Do I feel any guilt? No. I wanted to remember him as I knew him and not as being in a vegetative state. He did not have a choice, but I, together with assistance from the medical staff, took the decision which alleviated much of his suffering.
This Assisted Dying Bill reflects not only compassion and care, but also makes a fundamental point of recognising choice, with those strict, upfront safeguards defined within it. This gives us a unique opportunity to be able further to improve the Bill in Committee. The current prohibition on medical assistance to die causes some terminally ill people to take matters into their own hands. We repeatedly read about such cases. Some relatives also face the risk of prosecution for helping a loved one to die. The Bill would bring clarity to the law, and provide greater safety for terminally ill people and their loved ones. The Bill has strict safeguards and eligibility criteria—which were often omitted from some of the speeches we heard today. People who are not mentally competent and terminally ill, such as the disabled or older people who do not have a terminal illness, would not be eligible.
A number of noble Lords have cited the decision of the Supreme Court a few weeks ago. If we fail to make a decision, we will ultimately have to do so on the instruction of the Supreme Court. As a law-making body, we cannot ignore this challenge.
Comments have been made repeatedly about religious support. A YouGov poll in 2013 found that, of 1,200 people who identified as belonging to a religion, 62% were supportive of assisted dying for terminally ill people, with only 18% opposed. Examination of the results revealed that 78% of those who attended a place of worship once a month supported assisted dying, 59% of those who attended several times a month support assisted dying and this fell slightly to half of those who attended once a week. I make no comments about how often you should visit your place of worship, but there are a range of views on assisted dying from religious leaders. Those who are opposed have tended to dominate the debate, in direct contrast to the religious public's support—a point well made by the noble Baroness, Lady Blackstone.
I will quote some of these religious bodies. In March 2013, the Hindu Council UK stated that it supported assisted dying with safeguards:
"Compassion ought always over-ride the argument for the sacredness of life".
Just this last weekend, the former Archbishop of Canterbury the noble and right reverend Lord, Lord Carey—we are delighted with his presence in your Lordships' House—very publicly stated that he had moved away from his long-standing opposition to assisted dying, declaring that it would not be "anti-Christian" to support a change in the law:
"Personally, I find it a shameful blot on our country's great reputation for caring for others that we have not come up with a better alternative than the Zurich clinic ... Today we face a central paradox. In strictly observing the sanctity of life, the Church could now actually be promoting anguish and pain, the very opposite of a Christian message of hope".
I hope that I quoted the noble and right reverend Lord correctly; I have taken that quote from the Daily Mail.]]>
Amendment 40BZF withdrawn.
Clause 63 agreed.
Amendment 40BA
Moved by Baroness Meacher
40BA: After Clause 63, insert the following new Clause—
"Offence of encouraging or assisting the promotion of the practice of female genital mutilation
(1) The Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003 is amended as follows.
(2) After section 2 (offence of assisting a girl to mutilate her own genitalia), insert—
"2A Offence of encouraging or assisting the promotion of the practice of female genital mutilation
A person is guilty of an offence if he encourages or assists in the promotion of the practice of female genital mutilation."
(3) In section 5 (penalties for offences)—
(a) after "under" insert "sections 2 and 3 of",
(b) at the end insert—
"(2) A person guilty of an offence under section 2A is liable—
(a) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding seven years or a fine (or both),
(b) on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum (or both).""]]>
Amendment 40BB relates to a domestic service provider. Again, the issue here is straightforward. The amendment probes paragraph 2 of Schedule 3 relating to paedophile manuals. This paragraph applies the rules on paedophile manuals to service providers elsewhere in the European Economic Area,
"as well as to a person, of any description".
The amendment probes what is meant by,
"a person, of any description".
Is this too wide to offer sufficient clarity to those who may be caught by this offence?
Amendment 40BC relates simply to a drafting point. Again, the forensic ability of my noble friend Lady Hamwee has picked up this point. The current drafting of paragraph 5(3)(c) of Schedule 3 requires that a service provider promptly removes information on a paedophile manual. Sub-paragraph (4) then states that this applies only in certain circumstances. Why not simply have sub-paragraph (4) state what will happen in the event it applies rather than referring back to sub-paragraph (3)(c)? I am sorry about all this confusion. Legal people may have a better ability to interpret this. I am sure my noble friend the Minister will forgive me for raising this very important point. I beg to move.]]>

I've been having a sort of lust affair with the old Canon SLRs - the FTQL just feeling like some primitive art to me. I've found it's the fast speeds that die - the shutter curtain can no longer keep up. Which is a drag, wanting it as a walkaround camera with fast film.
Might have to look into those Mamiya SLRs that use the pentax screw mount... those are pretty too. Unless I can find a Voigtlander Vitomatic... now that's a beautiful camera and I love the size.

This is about a Fiat diesel engine under the bonnet of a Maruti. So, just how well does the new ticker work for the Swift?Until the rest catch up with the inventors of the common rail diesel technology for cars, - Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Bosch actually invented the technology - Fiat are a generation ahead. This is true of the motor under the hood of the Swift, Fiat's 1.3 litre Multijet.We all know about Maruti's attempts at dabbling with diesel engines (Zen and Esteem) in the past. "A scalded child dreads the fire," they say, but not this player. Maruti dared to go all out and play with fire again and subsequently, like the Phoenix that re-emerges from its own ashes, Maruti succeeded in bringing out the new Swift Diesel. In case of the Zen and Esteem diesel, Maruti had imported the Peugeot diesel engines, which resulted in expensive cars and the fact that the engines were retro-engineered, proved to be a disadvantage. This time around though things are different. Maruti has invested Rs 2,500 crore on an all-new plant. Licensed assembly of Fiat's 1.3 Multijet will give it a tremendous amount of flexibility and in addition, Maruti has localized parts for the motor. Engineers at Maruti claim they are sourcing the five `Cs' - the cylinder head, cylinder block, camshaft and crankshaft with even the `cracked' connecting rods that will be produced locally. Moreover, with Bosch producing the CP1K common rail pump and injectors in India as well, this motor is more than 75 per cent localized! The bonnet is badged Suzuki DDis and the motor is mounted with the help of one large hydraulic mount, among others, with the compact dimensions of the Multijet motor making it an easy fit. Suzuki got lucky with the acquisition of the Fiat motor. One of the outcomes of the now defunct GM-Fiat alliance as well as the General's substantial stock holding in Suzuki, non-existent now, Fiat's Multijet hopped from GM to Opel to Suzuki. Outside and inside the Swift is identical, the stylish nose, the blacked out pillars, the fighter canopy look to the glass area, the wide haunches; nothing less than the best looking hatch. The diesel Swift is available in two trims, LDi and VDi and is fantastic to drive. And on account of the seamless, well engineered marriage of the chassis to the motor, the Swift diesel feels like it was always meant to be. Vibrations are well under control, and once the motor is warmed and you're moving, you can't tell it's a diesel motor. A clue to this impressive refinement comes from the name of the Fiat motor; Multijet which uses five injections (jets) of fuel per power stroke of the piston. The pulsating injectors play out a high tech symphony, delivering fuel in four short bursts and one larger one. Instead of one sharp rise in pressure, on combustion, the cylinder head is heated up more smoothly and the pressure build up and discharge is less sudden. This translates as less noise, and also better torque and better control on emissions. Still, it doesn't feel as refined as the exceptionally quite Fiesta diesel, which feels both smoother and better insulated. Designed to be a city car, start-stop traffic is not what the Swift is perfectly suited for. Surprisingly, a bit of turbo lag is present which is more evident on inclines. Also being a diesel the clutch is heavier than the petrol's, but not uncomfortably so. The gearbox is positive and direct, the stubby gearlever makes gear slotting a breeze. The pace of the car impressed as did the ride quality. Smaller bumps just don't register at low speeds and the Swift rides silently over larger bumps too. The suspension also inspires confidence to sail over the worst patches of bad road. There is none of the typically nose heavy diesel character, the steering feels light and accurate and body control is good. The strong brakes and the nicely tuned ABS help and body control is good too. What is lacking, however is grip. The relatively narrow 165 tyres aren't very grippy and you cannot corner at very high speeds. Nonetheless, driving the well-balanced Swift diesel hard is super fun. Launched a while back in Europe, the Swift diesel had to wait to come to India on account of Maruti wanting to localize the engine to keep costs down. However, it certainly has been worth the wait considering the car is superbly engineered, refined, powerful and fast. But for the turbo lag at low speeds, it is perfect. Fuel economy wise, expect a figure around 15 in city conditions. Yes, the car certainly does have the technology and the tuning for it. While you'll be compromising on comparatively poor space at the rear and in the boot and wider tyres, and airbags will definitely take the price higher, the overall brilliance of the Swift diesel cannot be denied. Kudos to a company for a job well done considering that at one point they hated diesel cars so much they tried to ban them altogether. SHAPUR KOTWAL

These are my first pair of snowshoes and overall they are pretty good. I have put a few miles on these things so far and traction is no issue, even on icy slopes. In addition to having good traction, they are very secure and comfortable. My only criticism is that the bindings are complicated and can be a pain in the derriere to adjust when wearing gloves and mittens. So there you have it, aside from the bindings being a little complicated these are some pretty good snowshoes.
I bought my girlfriend and I both a pair for Christmas last year. These are worth every penny, very well built snow shoes. The bindings are easy to manipulate with gloves on. The materials used are top notch. We used them to climb a 2,000' mountain where they lived up to their name. Their was 4+' of snow on the mountain and I floated ontop of the snow with ease. The ascension bar in the upright position made going up steep inclines feel like you were climbing a stair case at home. Very cool feature. Not to mention if the start to sink in the snow you can add on floaters to the snow shoes in under a minute and find yourself gliding on top of the snow again. The built in crampons dug nicely into the ice, gripping firmly. I would strongly recommend this product.
