TripAdvisor Reviews Extended Stay America - Boston - Tewksbury
Travel Blogs from Tewksbury
... it started sprinkling and we trudged on valiantly when the drops got bigger. We were lucky that when we were half way along the trail and the heavens opened we were at the Quincy Markets and could take refuge inside. It was the biggest range of food stalls we've ever seen and were particularly impressed by the ten varieties of toffee apples at one stall. When it became apparent that the downpour wasn't going to let up, we hailed a cab and picked up dinner from our local ...

Day 9: Allentown, Nazareth, and Hull
In all the glory of yesterday's journey, I forgot to share a great story from earlier in the morning. After driving for just under two hours, I arrived at the Orlando airport ready to check in. It was 6:30 am, and after only five hours of sleep I was happy to be at the airport and ready to pass out at any moment. I walked upstairs to the check-in lobby of Terminal B, and walked up to the self-check kiosk at the Delta counter. As I pulled up my confirmation number on ...

They got off the bus near the harbour as their yacht was moored right nearby. Anyway, now we've dumped our gear here at the hotel, we're going to go out and find something to eat..

... around the nearby streets and the harbour we did a loop on the Boston Trolley to get an overview of the city. We finished off the day with a fantastic meal at a local pizza and pasta place (I did say we were in Little Italy!), where we were served by an enthusiastic Bostonian who gave us advice on where to walk, run, eat and visit during our stay. Although we are only here a few days we expect to love Boston at least as much as we loved New ...

I return to a too-long-discarded idea, the Endless Factory Tarot. The concept of a massive factory complex, a conglomeration of machinery, resources, products, and people has given me some new ideas and gotten me out of a creative rut.
This card is The Moon. A subject dreams in her virtual reality prison. With nothing to guide her, she can only focus on herself. Thus she is trapped in infinite recursion, a false enlightenment that will reveal no answers. The flotsam of media surrounds her, blaring on every screen, more distractions, more input.
I've been working on more material for Far Summers, my 'xenoanthropology' project.I've posted some new images into the Aliens and Character Design page. More to come.
I'm in the initial stages of The Endless Factory, a Tarot deck of my own design. The deck is themed around a vast factory complex, as big as a city, where the workers, consumers, and products blur in a hellish cybernetic conglomeration. Dehumanization goes hand in hand with mechanization.
The start of the deck is the Number III card, The Empress. She commands the Artificial Wombs of the next generation of creations, workers, and who knows what else. Her crown of diodes surmounts her modified head. Representing creativity, she'll be a good start.
I've been working on projects for people since my last update. However, they're either technical drawings or concept sketches covered by NDA's. When I can update with them, I will. More to follow.
At SCAD's Generate Event, I created an illustration following the 'Science Fiction' theme. So here it is, done in about 8 hours…Chtulhu vs. Giant Robots! 20's vs. the 50's! Ray guns and steel versus squamus protoplasm!
This was done in graphite powder and charcoal, with follow-up work in Photoshop.
My thesis show for Far Summers: Journey in the Greater World is coming up on September 23rd at the Dewberry Gallery. Link and info below:
My alien travelogue Far Summers continues, with new images coming soon. I've also edited and updated a few of the existing images.
I've been adding new images from the Far Summers project as I finish them. Images in the Aliens & Character Design tab.
This is just a random illustration challenge for the Illustration Asylum at SCAD. The topic was 'Red Light District'. So I drew a jaded devil, crushed with ennui. Contracts are stuck all over, neglected.

Re: I have updated my iPhone 4 for the first time in about a year. I had synced it so my photos should be safe but it's now telling me I have to restore. I'm worried I will lose my messages and whatsapp videos as I have a pc so these aren't saved elsewhere in response to HarrisonCrome
Restore from backup and everything will be exactly as it was when the backup was created.
Restore as new and the device will be as if it just came out of the box.

Readers critical of CBP CTO Wolfe Tombe suggested he was overly demanding of cloud service providers.
Readers were divided over comments made by Customs and Border Protection CTO Wolf Tombe in a Jan. 29 FCW article headlined "Moving to the cloud? Learn from CPB's mistakes." To some readers, Tombe came off as overly demanding of cloud service providers, while others said his comments should be a "must read" for federal CIOs.
One reader wrote:
"Tombe said agencies should demand 99.999 percent -- sometimes called the five nines -- and should subsequently demand not to pay extra for it. Really??? How does that work? Each "9" is an order of magnitude more effort to deliver, and that entails additional cost. Someone's gotta pay for it. Why not just demand ten 9s?"
Another said:
"Demand commercial pricing and then demand additional services that commercial pricing doesn't include and then refuse to pay for it and then test it out in 'small' programs that are just trying to get their work done since nobody cares about them if they fail. Pretty much sums up cloud-first, huh?"
Frank Konkel responds:
I think Tombe's comments are hardened from experience. Clearly, he and the agency at large were unhappy with one of its initial forays to the cloud – a botched email-as-a-service effort that the agency is still feeling repercussions from.
This isn't someone saying you should start small in "low profile, low visibility" projects because larger enterprise efforts don't belong in the cloud; this is someone saying start small and fail fast because practice makes perfect. The mission is still affected if a small program gets botched, but it's affected a lot more when a large service like email goes down. Guaranteed, if CBP could have a do-over on a few of its troubled cloud efforts, it would take one faster than you can say "infrastructure-as-a-service."
As for Tombe's request for 99.999 percent availability without paying extra for it, I believe Tombe is saying that the five-nines of availability are a standard. Reliability is an important factor when considering any kind of cloud service, so it should be part of an organization's business case. To me, Tombe is saying federal agencies should request what has become standard without paying extra money for it. In a competitive market, his statements – especially for cash-strapped agencies – make sense to me.

I do agree w/ OccupyIT that the blind request for 5 9s is unrealistic. The real issue is that CIOs just don't know what to ask for.
Email has been "best effort" by design. To ask for 5 9s, is clearly prohibitively expensive. What we really need is to be better informed consumers of IT.
But we are still stuck on old models where we ran data centers and applied terms and conditions to motivate specific behaviors from hardware providers.
Times have changed. IT executives need to change too.
Make up your mind. Is he just stating the obvious, "federal agencies should request what has become standard", or not? He certainly is saying 'ask for more'. Why is the only thing taken out of agile 'fail fast' as if the failing part is what's key. Let's start at the basic principle that you do the simplest thing first and run with it until it proves insufficient. Five 9s is NOT industry standard for small applications of the type mentioned for pilots (unless you don't include schedule downtime, only during working hours, not including outages by FedRAMP IaaS vendors like Microsoft Azure and Google, etc.) - this is less than 5 minutes off-line per year - without a lot of redundancy most applications don't need to afford. I've seen blind requests for five nines coupled with 24 hour backup cycles?!? If you can lose a day's work then you don't need five nines. When push comes to shove the real requirement is probably on the order of three nines at the application level. Don't confuse network uptime with application uptime. That's just CIO jousting. Bottom line is not to defend poor performance but rather to stop throwing out blanket generalities (cloud-first, five nines is minimum, don't pay for non-typical requirements, etc.) just confuses buyers and adds misinformation to an already poor procurement environment. Hire people that do good work and stick with people that are supporting you. Ask yourself why more email cloud migrations have failed after being the nirvana of CIOs? I love the way 'industry standard' is the way to go until 'industry standard' doesn't work based on our additional glombed on 'requirements' and it becomes 'industry's fault'. Perhaps there really is no one at the dance that meets your unrealistic requirements for a future spouse. Keep asking new partners until you find Cinderella...

The Centerville Development Corporation (CDC) recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house in honor of the completion of their third Neighborhood Stabilization Program 3 (NSP3) project.
From left to right: Gene Wenstrom – Hanson Communications; Lorraine Polak – South Dakota Housing Development Authority; Ruth Christopherson – Citibank; Brad Prehein – Centerville Mayor; Bill Hansen – Centerville Development Corp.; Roger Jacobs – Field Office Director HUD; Steve Schoepf – S&P Construction; Lynne Keller Forbes South East Council of Governments
When the CDC acquired the home it was in poor condition and it was suggested to demolish the 100 year old home. Rather than demolition, the CDC utilized $70,000 of NSP3 funds to acquire and rehabilitate the home.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development developed NSP3 to help stabilize communities that have suffered from foreclosures and abandonment. Through this program, HUD has been able to positively impact communities like Centerville, one rehabilitated home at a time.
Yet this was truly a community-driven project with several volunteers including: the CDC, the Centerville FFA Chapter, the City of Centerville and many community members. Steve Schoepf of S&P Construction and project manager said, "This is probably the most rewarding project I have worked on."
Many of the beautiful antique features were able to be preserved such as the leaded glass windows, cast iron furnace grates and essential historic character.
The home was totally renovated with a new roof, windows, sheetrock, plumbing, wiring, light fixtures, baths, hardwood flooring, and carpet. The character of the home was preserved while adding new energy efficiency features such as the high efficiency furnace, central air, and energy star appliances.
HUD Sioux Falls Field Office Director, Roger Jacobs, said, "This will make a great home for a family in Centerville with the charm of an older home and the features of a new home." Income-qualified families interested in this home will be provided homebuyer education through a HUD-approved housing counseling agency. There are already three families interested in the home.
More information about the home can be found on Centerville's website.

First Look: Rolls-Royce 102EX Concept

Rolls Royce cars
While an engineer at rival
scoffed and called it "window dressing", Rolls-Royce insiders insist the 102EX concept unveiled at the Geneva Show is the real deal -- a genuine prototype designed to test customer reaction to the idea of an electric-powered Phantom.
The EX moniker - and the red RR badging - has been used by Rolls-Royce to distinguish what the company calls "experimental" models since 1919. And while Henry Royce started his career as an electrical engineer and Charles Rolls spoke favorably of electric vehicles before his death in1910, there's never been a Rolls-Royce as experimental as this Phantom electric vehicle.
Rolls-Royce owners can easily afford to pay high gas guzzler taxes, aren't concerned about soaring fuel prices, and don't care whether London continues to exempt electric vehicles from its daily congestion charge. And in truth, with annual sales of less than 1000 vehicles the Phantom's contribution to global oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions is an almost immeasurable fraction of that made by the 72 million cars and light trucks sold around the world last year.
But as the big, opulent Phantom is seen by some as a symbol of excess rather success, the 102EX is really more about symbolism than saving the planet. Ironically, an electric-powered Phantom makes a lot of sense, on several levels. First, the characteristics of an electric powertrain -- abundant low-end torque, plus unparalleled smoothness and silence -- have been the hallmarks of Rolls-Royce engines since the 1907 Silver Ghost. Second, most current Phantom owners don't actually drive their cars that far, averaging somewhere between 1000 and 2000 miles a year, according to Rolls-Royce communications director Richard Carter.
Carter says Rolls-Royce owners around the world will be given the opportunity to drive the 102EX -- also called the Phantom EE -- and tell the company what they think. "We want to hear what they like, and more importantly what they don't like, about the car," he says. "We want honest feedback." Among the key issues Rolls-Royce wants to hear from its customers about are the usual electric vehicle bugbears -- range, charging time, and performance.
The Phantom EE's powertrain consists of two electric motors mounted on the rear sub-frame driving the rear wheels through a single speed transmission with integrated differential. Each motor is rated at 194hp, giving the Phantom EE a maximum power output of 388hp and 590lb-ft of torque available the moment you squeeze the accelerator pedal. This compares with the regular Phantom's 453hp and 531lb-ft at 3500rpm.
The motors are fed by a 71kW/hr lithium ion battery pack that is believed to be the largest passenger car battery in the world. The pack is comprised of NCM (Lithium-Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese-Oxide) pouch cells, a variant of lithium-ion chemistry that Rolls-Royce says has particularly high energy and power densities. The Phantom EE battery pack houses five modules of cells, a 38-cell module, a 36-cell module, and three smaller ones of ten, eight and four arranged in various orientations within an irregular shaped area that resembles the overall shape of the original 6.75-liter V12 engine and six-speed automatic transmission. Rolls-Royce says the Phantom EE should have a range of about 120 miles.
Recharging will take a lengthy 20 hours, though using three-phase power cuts it to eight hours. An induction charger is also fitted to enable wireless charging, a new technology designed to allow electric vehicles to be recharged without a physical connection to a power source. Under this system a transfer pad on the ground delivers power from a mains source through an induction pad mounted beneath the battery pack. Power frequencies are magnetically coupled across these power transfer pads.
Though no time is given for a wireless recharge, Rolls-Royce claims the process is about 90 percent efficient compared with a regular plug-in charge, and that it is not essential to align the transmitter and receiver pads exactly for charging to take place. The battery pack would be expected to last over three years were it to be used every day, says the company, and part of the Phantom EE evaluation program will be to test this assumption in a real world environment.
All the electric powertrain hardware adds just over 200lb compared with the regular Phantom, bringing the overall mass to 5996lbs. Rolls-Royce claims the Phantom EE will accelerate to 60mph in under 8.0sec, which is about 2.3sec slower than the gas-engined car. Top speed will be limited to 100mph.
The Phantom EE boasts several more "experimental" features besides its powertrain. The Atlantic Chrome paint uses highly reflective ceramic nano particles 1000 times smaller than normal metallic paint particles. Inside, the interior is trimmed with Corinova leather, created through a natural vegetable tanning process. Instead of acres of wood, there's woven aluminum, and the instrument panel is painted the same color as the exterior. The fuel gauge has been replaced with a battery charge indicator, and Roll-Royce's unique "power reserve" gauge has been graduated beyond the 100 percent mark to show the power recouped during braking.
And finally, the traditional metal Spirit of Ecstasy atop the grille -- a feature of Rolls-Royce cars for 100 years -- has been replaced with a translucent version that emits a blue glow. Sadly, this latest version of Charles Sykes' elegant sculpture, first registered by the company on February 6, 1911, is not made of glass, like the rare crystal mascots made by Lalique in the 1920s and 1930s, but of Makrolon, a plastic developed by Bayer for headlights. Such is progress...

Look out Becks, Jonathan, and James, Hayden is bringing the force to fragrance…sorry guys that's something you'll never have.
When word of C.O. Bigelow Lemon Eau de Parfum hit the Muse was quite hyped for a sniff. She loves all of the C.O. Bigelow Lemon Collection and the general idea of a lemony fragrance along the same vein absolutely thrilled her to bits and pieces.
Check out my review of C.O. Bigelow Lemon Eau de Parfum
Considering the formula is inspired by it's Lemon Body Cream I was all about hauling this as quickly as I could get my greedy hands on it. I admit I was worried they'd end up messing it up with notes it didn't need especially since the description reads of green lemon leaves, creamy undertones, and a warm white musk. That sounds all nice and lovely but honestly the Lemon Body Cream is more about straight up sweet, tart lemon without all the unnecessary extras. You know what I mean dontcha?
I was pleasantly surprised that it does indeed smells simply like lemon, particularly like C.O. Bigelow Lemon Body Cream. No fanfare here it's just sparkling, fruity, and sweet, with a round of tartness which blends it out to a happy effervescent note that the body lotion lacks. It's quite lovely and light, beautiful for Summer wear.
I absolutely love it.
C.O. went all out with the packaging on this guy as well. It's a large glass bottle that's 3.5oz in size but feels way larger. Right now it's Buy Two C.O. Bigelow items and Get Two Free including this fragrance which regularly retails for $34 USD so if you have a friend (or just overindulge yourself) you can split the costs between the two of you. It retails for $34.50 USD and I think it's well worth picking up. I admit I was slightly disappointed that it didn't last longer on my skin so I was left touching up after two hours or so but regardless it's such a nice Summer scent that I can't resist Muse Approving it for purchase. If you absolutely adore the C.O. Bigelow Lemon line or you're just simply a lover of lemony scents this one is for you. Truly a great blend for Summer!
Loves it!

Beauty News: Avon In Bloom Fragrance by Reese Witherspoon
Avon continues it's growth as of late with it's Fall launch of In Boom by Reese Witherspoon. Partnering with many celebs as of late Avon continues it's growth spurt in a hard economy with many friendly budget options for the woman on a shoestring budget or even now appealing to those of us who prefer higher end brands.
Jump ahead to hear more about Avon In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon
Reese Witherspoon has partnered with Avon for her very first fragrance launch. The fragrance is a sensual, mysterious blend with top notes of peach, tea leaves, and crisp greens. The heart of the fragrance is a more floral blend featuring notes of gardenia, magnolias, and night-blooming jasmine.
Reese explains while developing In Bloom she was drawn to scents that reminded her of her childhood growing up in Tennessee, �We had a great big Magnolia tree in the back yard, and it's that beautiful white blossom that inspired the perfume. In Bloom is indicative of where I am in my life today. I'm feeling very strong and independent, and so happy, so full of life. The fragrance truly captures that feeling�it's very sensual, very romantic and alluring.�
The fragrance will be an Eau de Parfum and available in two sizes of 1.7oz ($34 USD) and a 1oz limited edition version ($59 USD). A body mist, lotion, and shower gel will also accompany the release for $15 USD each.
Reese was fully involved with the creation of In Bloom from the development of the fragrance to it's name. She wanted the fragrance to be a true reflection of her own personal style.
Sounds interesting enough to me! I'm not too into floral but breaking the notes up with peach could make this appealing to me. I'll be getting one to review for sure as count me curious plus I find Reese rather cute.

Bath and Body Works Cooling Mist in White Citrus Review
Ok, I admit I buy into all the worst gimmicky products. I'm kinda feeling like Bath and Body Works Cooling Mist is a gimmick but I can't help but love it. Have you tried these yet? I actually ventured into Bath and Body Works a week or two ago (not by choice, my friend Jen absolutely had to go inside or have a coronary. I choose inside rather than perform CPR), braved the scary, scary vulture SA's, and picked up Bath and Body Works Cooling Mist in White Citrus.
Bath and Body Works Cooling Mist in White Citrus is a refreshing, cooling body spray. Yes, that would be the gimmick part I suppose. It seems terribly pointless to have a cooling mist that's scented. I love the idea as it does feel wonderfully refreshing on my skin and very cool but the fact that it's scented takes away from the point. Kinda? Sorta? Or maybe that's me.
But the good news is not only is it cooling and refreshing it smells darn nice too. White Citrus is the newest scent to the BBW line and quite lovely. The scent is very fresh and clean with touches of citrus, a tiny itty bitty hint of musk, and plenty of crispy green notes. It's been a while since any one scent from BBW has captured my interest but this is nice. Actually I liked it so much I may go ahead and order the other bits such as the body splash and such online. What? You didn't think I'd go back into the store did you? Once a year is plenty to make my pilgrimage through a Bath and Body Works shop. When the SA's learn how to get off my back that's when I'll start heading back in store.
I'm kinda feeling the love for Bath and Body Works White Citrus and Muse Approving it for purchase! Pretty blend for Summer! Get the cooling mist you can be cool and smell pretties.
Anyone try?

Best Museum Restaurants in the U.S.
Across the country, ambitious empire builders have turned boring museum cafeterias into destination restaurants. From a New Orleans soda shop in an American history museum to the Pittsburgh conservatory garden café, which grows its own ingredients, here are country's best places to pair cultural excursions with fantastic food.—Tommy Werner
Café à la C'Art, Tucson Museum of Art; Tucson
More ∨
The complex of buildings that houses this museum includes an entire block of historic homes; one of them, the Hiram Stevens house, an adobe built in the 1860s by a local politician, is the site of this casual café. Each of its four rooms has a working fireplace and bright, hand-painted doorframes with Southwestern floral or bird patterns. Café ownership and operation is a true family affair in the hands of Tucson native Judith Michelet, her son, chef Mark Jorbin, and his wife, Shirley. The menu includes hearty fare such as ancho chile–braised lamb shank and a citrusy achiote pork sandwich topped with avocado and pepper Jack cheese. cafealacarttucson.com

Flag of Belize
|Civil and state flag
|September 21, 1981
|a royal blue field with two red narrow stripes along the top and the bottom edges and a large white disk in the center bearing the National Coat of Arms of Belize
The flag of Belize is a continued version of the earlier flag of British Honduras (the name of Belize during the British colonial period).
British Honduras obtained a coat of arms on January 28, 1907, which formed the basis of the badge used on British ensigns. The coat of arms recalls the logging industry that first led to British settlement there. The figures, tools, and mahogany tree represent this industry.
From 1950 onward an unofficial national flag was in use. It was blue, with a modified version of the arms on a white disc in the centre (sometimes a blank white circle was used as the coat of arms was difficult to draw). The national motto, Sub Umbra Floreo, meaning "I Flourish in the Shade", is written in the lower part of the coat of arms.
The flag is royal blue, with a white disc at the centre containing the national coat of arms held by a mestizo and a black man (Belize is one of only two sovereign states with a flag that has people appearing on it, with the other being Malta), surrounded by fifty mahogany leaves.[1] The flag is bordered at top and bottom by two red stripes.
The colours on the flag are respectively those of the country's national parties, the People's United Party (PUP) and United Democratic Party (Belize) (UDP). The UDP, established in 1973, had objected to the original blue and white design, those two colours being the PUP's representative colours. The two red stripes at the top and bottom were added to the original design at independence. The coat of arms was granted in 1907. Red stripes were added to denote the colour of the opposition party. Blue is the party colour of the PUP (People's United Party. The 50 leaves recall 1950, the year PUP came to power.
The flag of Belize is the only country to have humans depicted as a major design element on its national flag, although the flag of Malta contains an image of Saint George on the badge of the George Cross, and the flags of British dependencies Montserrat and the Virgin Islands, and that of French Polynesia also depict humans.

Oh-so-suave blond Jack Hofner and ruder, cruder Rowe Rickebacker are the L/R team, ace secret agents working for the Royal Family of Ishtar (a thinly disguised Great Britain). With some help from eccentric inventor Dez and the inevitably feisty Claire, they continually try the patience of chief security agent Camille. Like all good anime agents, they overstep their boundaries, run up bills someone else has to pay, employ an endless array of hi-tech gadgets, and assume foolproof disguises. Jack and Rowe have a certain rhinestone-in-the-rough appeal, but the series has a been-there/done-that feeling. Their adventures involving stolen antiquities, crime syndicates, and the mysterious figure of the "15 year Princess" lack both the noir drama of Cowboy Bebop and the take-no-prisoners silliness of Dai-Guard and the Patlabor series. Licensed by Royalty is mildly diverting at times, but never distinctive. (Rated 16 and older: violence, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

The Swiss Army Knife of travel apps
Kayak pro is one of my favorite "go to" travel apps. It has Gate Guru built into it, so it's easy to get airport information. In addition, Kayak has all of the major airline numbers, a currency converter and a helpful price trend feature which lets you know whether to buy or wait. Love it!
A good app, but....
I do like this app, but my only complaint is that you cannot view the trip section when you're offline. It's nice because I can view all of my confirmation numbers, check-in times for airplanes and hotels. But when I need them most, I can't access them them without an internet connection. Hopefully they work on this in the future
Easy to use and finds good flights
Thanks for the great app! Also worth checking out: Hipmunk and SkyScanner. They seem about equal most of the time, but occasionally one does better on price.

SANTIAGO, Chile A magnitude-8.2 earthquake struck off Chiles northern coast Tuesday night, setting off a small tsunami that forced an evacuation of coastal areas. The region apparently escaped major damage and casualties, but landslides blocked roads, power failed for thousands, an airport was damaged and several businesses caught fire.
Chiles interior minister, Rodrigo Penailillo, said there have been five confirmed deaths. He attributed those deaths to heart attacks or being crushed.
Penailillo said d President Michelle Bachelet was closely watching the situation and was ready to take any measures to ensure peoples safety. Hundreds of soldiers were being deployed in the quake zone, he added.
Thousands have lost power, and hundreds of thousands of Chileans are spending the night away from their beds due to the evacuation order, which remains in effect for northern Chile.
Damage was reported to Highway A16 north of Iquique, a major port city of about 182,000 people at the edge of Chiles copper mining Atacama desert region. The governor of the northern Iquique area, Gonzalo Prieto, told Radio Cooperativa that several peoplewere seriously injured.
About 300 inmates escaped from a womens prison in Iquique, and officials said Chiles military was sending a planeload of special forces to guard against looting.
With the exception of Iquique, the regions closest to the epicenter of the quake are remote and sparsely populated. Pisagua, about 65 miles north of Iquique, has fewer than 300 inhabitants, and the town of Arica, about 120 miles north of Iquique, has about 10,600 residents, according to recent census data. The Arica and Parinacota regions, where the quake was felt strongly, have a combined population of about 215,000.
In the city of Arica, minor injuries were reported and some homes made of adobe were destroyed, officials said. The quake shook modern buildings in nearby Peru and in Bolivias high altitude capital of La Paz.
The U.S. Geological Survey initially reported the quake at 8.0, but later upgraded the magnitude. It said the quake struck 61 miles northwest of the Chilean city of Iquique at 8:46 p.m., hitting a region that has been rocked by numerous quakes over the past two weeks.
Blackouts and telephone outages also were reported.
Psychiatrist Ricardo Yevenes said he was with a patient in Arica when the quake hit. It quickly began to move the entire office, things were falling, he told local television. Almost the whole city is in darkness.
The quake was so strong that the shaking experienced in Bolivias capital about 290 miles away was the equivalent of a 4.5-magnitude tremor, authorities there said.
At least 10 strong aftershocks followed in the first few hours, including a 6.2 tremor. More aftershocks and even a larger quake could not be ruled out, said seismologist Mario Pardo at the University of Chile.
Some roads in northern Chile were blocked by landslides, causing traffic jams among people leaving the coast. But coastal residents remained calm as they head inland while waves measuring almost 6� feet struck their cities.
Evacuations also were ordered in Peru, where waves 6� feet above normal forced about 200 people to leave the seaside town of Boca del Rio. But there were no injuries or major damage, said Col. Enrique Blanco, the regional police chief in Tacna, a Peruvian city of 300,000 near the Chilean border. The lights went out briefly, but were re-established, Blanco said.
A tsunami alert was issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center for all of Latin Americas Pacific coast. Chiles Emergency Office warned that a large tsunami wave was expected to hit Robinson Crusoe island and others in the Juan Fernandez archipelago, hundreds of miles off Chiles central coast. Residents there evacuated ahead of the first waves. Chiles Easter Island, much farther off in the Pacific, was expected to get hit after midnight Wednesday.
Authorities in the U.S. state of Hawaii were on alert, but no tsunami watch was issued. The tsunami center said any higher waves would hit Hawaii starting 3:24 a.m. Hawaii Standard Time.
Chile is one of the worlds most earthquake-prone countries because just off the coast, the Nazca tectonic plate plunges beneath the South American plate, pushing the towering Andes cordillera to ever-higher altitudes.
The latest activity began with a strong magnitude-6.7 quake on March 16 that caused more than 100,000 people to briefly evacuate low-lying areas. Hundreds of smaller quakes followed in the weeks since, keeping people on edge as scientists said there was no way to tell if the unusual string of tremors was a harbinger of an impending disaster.
The last recorded big quake to hit far northern Chile around Iquique was a devastating magnitude-8.3 in 1877. It unleashed a nearly 80-foot-high tsunami, causing major damage along the Chile-Peru coast and fatalities as far away as Hawaii and Japan.
A magnitude-8.8 quake and ensuing tsunami in central Chile in 2010 killed more than 500 people, destroyed 220,000 homes, and washed away docks, riverfronts and seaside resorts. That quake released so much energy, it actually shortened the Earths day by a fraction of a second by changing the planets rotation.
The strongest earthquake ever recorded on Earth also happened in Chile a magnitude-9.5 tremor in 1960 that killed more than 5,000 people.
Chile is the worlds leading copper producing nation, and most of its mining industry is in the northern regions. Top mining companies said there was no serious damage to their operations so far.

Many drugs affect the central nervous system and how it works. Many so-called "recreational drugs" can alter the user's consciousness. The risks associated with use of these drugs include:
- changes in body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure
- headaches, abdominal pain, and nausea
- impaired judgment and greater risk of some sexually transmitted infections
- addiction
- lack of quality control in preparing illegal drugs.
- possibility of added substances (such as talc, poisons, herbicides or other particles) which may cause a toxic reaction.
- the toxic effects of the drugs themselves. For example, some drugs may cause heart attacks, seizures, and respiratory arrest
Cocaine use can cause damage to the heart, which may contribute to many more deaths each year. Cocaine use has been associated with chest pain, heart attacks, heart failure, strokes, aortic dissection, and fatal and nonfatal arrhythmias.
Others include:
- myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle)
- endocarditis (inflammation of the inner lining of the heart)
- pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs)
- vascular thrombosis (blood clots in blood vessels)
- dilated cardiomyopathy (an enlarged heart)
Cocaine is doubly dangerous for pregnant women. Not only can it cause cardiovascular complications, but evidence is accumulating that cocaine can lead to premature delivery, lower birth weight, and smaller head diameters in babies born to mothers who abuse cocaine.
Today law enforcement agencies and the medical community recognize cocaine as dangerous illicit drugs in common use. Because it's increasingly popular and easily bought, the number of cocaine-related cardiovascular disabilities and deaths may be expected to rise. Furthermore, smoking crack cocaine, which is cheaper, more potent and widely available, will lead to even more strokes and heart attacks in younger people not normally "at risk."

(6) Louisville vs. (3) Texas A&M
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP)—Rick Pitino thinks having thousands of Louisville fans at Rupp Arena to watch the Cardinals play in the NCAA tournament is great.
Too bad none of them can guard Texas A&M star Acie Law.
Then again, it seems nobody else can, either.
The all-everything senior has become the Aggies' unquestioned leader, equal parts psychologist and playmaker for a team three years removed from a 20-loss season.
Law's shotmaking earned him the nickname "Captain Clutch" and his serene confidence is a constant source of comfort for his teammates—and even his coaches—when times get tough.
"I just like to tell my guys to keep a cool head and things will be fine," Law said.
Things never have been better for Texas A&M (26-6) heading into Saturday's second-round South Region game against Louisville (24-9). The Aggies have reached the tournament for the second straight year for the first time in school history, and finally are making basketball matter at a school long addicted to football.
It's a transformation that wouldn't have been possible without Law, who can be just as valuable with his voice as he is with his hands.
After the Aggies allowed Penn briefly to take the lead midway through the second half of their first-round matchup on Thursday, Law walked into the huddle during a timeout and told anyone who would listen not to worry, including coach Billy Gillispie.
Pitino, who was sitting behind the Texas A&M bench during the timeout, was impressed with the way Law took command.
"He immediately went to everybody on the team and said, 'Relax, I'm taking over, it's not going to happen,"' Pitino said. "He just said, 'I'm taking over the game."'
Sure enough, with Law getting into the lane and creating good shots for his teammates, the Aggies pulled away down the stretch for a 68-52 win.
"When we get in a situation where we need to make a play, I need to assert myself," Law said.
It's a scene that has played out time and again for the Aggies this season— Law has made saving the day nearly routine. Law averaged 6.9 points in the final four minutes of Texas A&M's Big 12 games, shooting 73 percent from 3-point range and 84 percent from the line when called on to close things out.
"Great players like him that have the ability to finish games like he has, they're not afraid to miss," Gillispie said. "His last shot does not affect his next shot."
Law's next shot will come against Louisville and freshman guards Edgar Sosa and Jerry Smith.
Pitino has said all season—sometimes jokingly, sometimes not—that his freshmen still have no idea how to play defense, even as the Cardinals started to perfect the frenetic, full-court press that's become the trademark of Pitino's teams.
Louisville forced 21 turnovers in its opening round win over Stanford by trapping and pressing the Cardinal into poor decisions on its way to a surprisingly easy victory.
But the Cardinals know things will be different against Law and the Aggies, who start four upperclassmen.
"They don't make mistakes, they try to get you to make mistakes," Sosa said. "We are going to try and keep the ball out of Acie's hands. We just want to keep the ball away from him and let someone else run the show."
Yet the Cardinals know there's more to the Aggies than Law. Guard Dominique Kirk scored 16 points in the win over Penn, and forward Joseph Jones added 14, including a pair of game-changing dunks midway through the second half.
"The game is not against Law," said forward Terrence Williams. "We can't just game plan for one person. … It's going to be like a Frazier/Ali fight, going back and forth. It's going to be like a ping-pong match."
One that likely will be determined by which point guards are able to dictate the tempo and handle the other team's pressure.
Pitino has worked all season to reign in the sometimes freewheeling Sosa, whose maturity has coincided with Louisville's resurgence, though some of the swagger Sosa adopted while growing up in New York City remains.
While respectful of Law's talent, he's also eager to see how he stacks up against the player Pitino calls the top point guard in the nation.
"You want to go against the best, and he's the best," Sosa said. "That's how you measure yourself."

New York Launches Unprecedented Effort to Address LGBT Disparities
July 24, 2014 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Deputy Director of Marketing
Today New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a coordinated multi-agency effort to strengthen data collection in order to better meet the LGBT community's needs.
"New York State has a long history of advancing progressive ideals, and today we are continuing to lead the nation by identifying new ways to improve services and better meet the needs of the LGBT community," Governor Cuomo said. "By being more inclusive with how state agencies monitor the demographics of those they serve, we can address health and financial disparities, safety concerns, and a myriad of other issues that impact LGBT New Yorkers."
By taking the bold step forward as the first state to have a coordinated statewide strategy to improve LGBT data collection, New York has set the bar for LGBT equality and protections.
HRC applauds today's announcement and hope the nation soon follows New York's example.

What an evening at Levon's barn in Woodstock!
An assembly of players gathered, loosely assembled by Connor Kennedy, Amy Helm, and Woodstock's Rock School.
The show opened with a set from the new team that was so strong I was wondering how we'd top it! Dan Littleton and Cindy Cashdollar added to the sauce. Donald Fagen supported all comers and then killed on a version of "Hesitation Blues."
My portion of the fun was to play with this assortment of players and then pull out my surprise card... Graham Nash, who did his PERFECT tenoring on "Rain on the Roof." Love that guy!
Coincidentally, Nash is displaying a new assortment of photographs at the nearby Fletcher Gallery. Go catch it in Woodstock (as you climb the Tinker Street hill).

Waterlines being flushed in Lavonia
LAVONIA — This year's flushing of the city's waterlines has begun.
Crews began flushing the lines Tuesday and will continue the process through Oct. 15. City manager Gary Fesperman said it is a routine event required by the state.
"Each year the city has to do a water flushing program," Fesperman said. "This is a requirement of the (state) Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources. This allows us to check all of the fire hydrants to make sure they're fully functional and, secondly, it flushes any water sitting in a dead-end line, flushing it through and getting fresh water into the system."
Customers should not be alarmed if they see some discoloration in their tap water as flushing is happening, he said.
"Anytime you do a flushing program, you can expect some discolored water," Fesperman said. "What that is is a little bit of sediment that has built up in the pipes. Whenever you increase the flow in the pipe, some breaks off and is sent through the lines. It's not unsanitary; it's just a little discoloration, and it will subside within a couple of days."
Fesperman said the discoloration can be eliminated by letting cold water tap run for several minutes until the water runs clear.
Anyone with questions or concerns about the flushing process may contact the Lavonia water department at 706-356-8781.

Samsung radically changed the Note design with the Note 5 by removing the expandable storage option and integrating the battery. However, Samsung also pushed mobile technology to the limits while Apple continues to slowly iterate.
Apple isn't one to keep new iPhone features secret, but a video uploaded to YouTube suggests that there's one iPhone 6s feature that didn't make its way onto the spec sheet - water resistance.
Google says its paying user-base of Drive has crossed one million organizations, which gets new privacy and security features that enterprises will appreciate.
After eight years and countless changes, one feature remains nearly identical today to what it was back in June of 2007: the iPhone launcher. Is this a good thing?
The Samsung Note line has always appealed to those looking to have a mini computer in their hands and the Note 5 continues that tradition with advanced hardware and software features.
The OpenStack open-source cloud-computing platform stands to gain more enterprise features thanks to a major financial and engineering deal between Intel and Mirantis.
It's a smart move by Samsung: Even if few iPhone owners actually make the switch, the company will get valuable feedback through a pair of required surveys.
While the new Moto X may be less expensive and have compelling features, there are also several reasons to consider the high-powered Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
Don't count out the old clamshell handsets just yet: Samsung has packed one with smartphone components and a pair of screens for China.
Samsung was contesting nearly $400 million in damages it feels were unfairly awarded. The appeals court doesn't want to hear it, leaving one last option before paying up.
After making price adjustments downward on its prior phones, Samsung seems to be keeping the cost of its new Note 5 and S6 Edge+ high while removing features that people wanted.
While Samsung continues to radically change the Galaxy design, it's disappointing to see it apply those design trade-offs to the Note line. The LG G4 stands alone as the last flagship with a microSD card and removable battery.
Technology giant describes beaming internet to five billion people worldwide using thousands of tiny satellites.
The cloud storage company first introduced metadata services to its platform in fall 2013 as one of the initial features that could be tailored for industry-specific purposes.
With the Galaxy S6 Samsung got rid of two features that fans loved; the removable battery and the microSD card slot. Leaked photos of the upcoming Galaxy Note 5 suggest that this is a direction that Samsung is happy to continue in.
Samsung has developed a mobile image sensor with 1.0μm pixels that will allow mobile devices to become even thinner.

HP Designjet T770 24in printing problem
We just purchased a Designjet T770 24 in plotter (with Hard Disk?).
We used to have a HP DeskJet 750C that plotted PDF files fine.
When we have completed our drawings, we send them to our Engineer for his final approval and for him to stamp them. The drawings (from AutoCAD) get sent in PDF format, he adds his stamp and dates the drawings and then sends them back to us.
When I plot the PDF file to the new plotter, the stamp that our engineer adds comes out blurred and you cannot make it out. We have 3 other printers here at the office and the stamp plots perfectly fine on all of them. Is there a setting that I can change on the plotter that will affect this image?

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
