New to Five Star Alliance: El Palauet Living Barcelona
March 2, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
Meet El Palauet Living Barcelona. Located on Barcelona's most exclusive boulevard at Passeig de Gracia 113, this five-story palatial mansion, built in 1906, is an extraordinary example of Modernisme (the sumptuous Catalan version of Art Nouveau). Its architect, Pere Falques, is also known for his ornate lampposts jutting from ceramic tile benches that are sidewalk landmarks at the Passeig de Gracia. He was a contemporary of Antoni Gaudi, whose acclaimed buildings are nearby. The facade of El Palauet reflects the great prosperity, creative genius, and unbridled imagination of the era. Palauet, in the Catalan language, is a small palau or palace.

Condé Nast Traveler Hot List 2012: Ohla Hotel Barcelona
May 11, 2012
By: Christopher Roney
Conde Nast Traveler, purveyor of fine hotel reviews and travel advice, has just released its 2012 edition of the Hot List, a list of hotels that are setting the hotel world aflame with fresh designs and new concepts, or maybe just a solid new look at classic luxury. 41 reporters embedded themselves anonymously in hotels across the globe to review their targets. What results is a list of 121 hotels around the world that are so on fire they should be put on your watch list, just in case they end up burning down.
Ohla, la. The Ohla Hotel in Barcelona is looking good enough to make a slightly inappropriate reference to consuming it. Wow, I could just eat it up. Near the Plaza de Catalunya, the small 74-room boutique was built just last year, and while it's still just stretching its legs, it came out of the womb a freakishly mature adult, ready to hit the ground running. Customizability is the name of the game at the Ohla Hotel. Its 24-hour room service offers an a la carte menu for just about everything in the room. Sheets, pillows, aromas for your linens, even films and music. Yeah, you saw that right. You can select what your sheets smell like. I often make the same choice every night at home, but that's more an indication that I should stop eating take-out in bed. Take-out certainly won't be necessary at the Ohla. Just head to the Sauc restaurant which has gotten its very own gold (Michelin) star. If you want to see downtown Barcelona from a room you've made your very own, you can't do better than the Ohla Hotel.

We understand that no one aims to come in second place; there is no recognition for mediocrity. We at Five Star Alliance understand better than anyone the importance of offering the most luxurious resorts in the world, so we notice what's going on in the industry, and it matters to us, because it matters to you. We work hard to offer you the best in the industry, and we'd like to welcome you to our second blog series where we feature the best and most luxurious resorts in the world. But don't take our word for it. These resorts have been recognized as the best in the business and have made the prestigious Condé Nast Traveler Gold List 2012.
The Condé Nast Traveler Gold List 2012 is the eighth of their annual lists, and the hotels chosen by their team of editors and experts are the best for service, food, location, rooms, leisure facilities, ambiance and design.
The Mandarin Oriental Barcelona is featured on the Gold List 2012: Best for ambience and design. This luxury hotel offers some of the most exclusive accommodations in Barcelona with only 98 rooms and suites. Its modern designs incorporate subtle reflections of their oriental heritage, and it is a staple hotel in the Mandarin Oriental collection. Views are either of their interior garden or the Passeig de Gracia, a stylish boulevard. A number of guest rooms have a balcony or terrace allowing guests to take in the sweeping beauty of Barcelona. The charm behind this hotel is certainly in its design, for it has the feel of a small, personal boutique hotel, but provides the amenities and service expected from an established, large hotel.

Amidst recognition, Google's Duarte thinks Android user experience still has long way to go
A couple years ago Google brought webOS designer Matias Duarte on board to direct the Android User Experience. Since then, he has been responsible for many of the design decisions found in the award-winning Android user interface. His hard work is again being recognized, this time by Fast Company who named him as one of the top fifty designers shaping the future.
Despite the accolades, Duarte indicates he is far from where he wants to be with Android. In comments on his Google+ page, he indicates that he is "only about a third of the way to where I want to be with regards to consistency, responsiveness, and polish." This sentiment is consistent with remarks he made at Mobile World Congress this past February.
What would you like to see Duarte and his team take on while they work on the remaining two thirds?

Android 4.0: A New Android from a New Google [Opinion]
This week Google announced the latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich. With the announcement came a number of revelations about the philosophy being pursued by Android's lead designer, Matias Duarte.

Interview With Android UX Lead Matias Duarte: "Google Is Taking Design A Lot More Seriously"
Let's get the preliminary question off the plate first: who is Matias Duarte? Well for one thing, he oversaw the designing of a few small projects such as webOS, Sidekick OS, and Helio (the little carrier that could… be bought out). And, oh yeah, he also played a large part in Honeycomb's development.
Yesterday he sat down with Joshua Topolsky of This is my Next (soon to be The Verge) to discuss the "philosophy" of Android and, more specifically, Ice Cream Sandwich. It certainly provides some interesting insight into the man behind ICS' fancy new UI, and while we highly…

Interview With Android UX Lead Matias Duarte: "Google Is Taking Design A Lot More Seriously" was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
Nexus S Getting Ice Cream Sandwich, OS "Theoretically" Should Work on Any Android 2.3-Capable Device
Matias Duarte has confirmed that the Nexus S will be getting Ice Cream Sandwich. He didn't say which one – different carriers have different rollout processes – but we can't imagine most regions and carriers won't get it. He also said that any Android 2.3 device should theoretically be able to run Ice Cream Sandwich, but don't take that as confirmation that an update for your phone is coming unless you're on a Nexus S or soon to be Galaxy Nexus – even the Nexus One is up in the air at this point.
Chamillionaire Arrives At Tech Crunch Disrupt, Nexus S In Tow, And Loves It
Back in July when tech investor/hip hop artist Chamillionaire attended the TechCrunch Mobile First event he asked some pressing questions of Android lead designer Matias Duarte. Chamillionaire had expressed frustration over the Android phones that he has already used. He struck a nerve in the Android community who thought he was just another rapper dissing Android.
We found out in an interview with Chamillionaire and Thedroidguy that lasted over an hour, that Chamillionaire's main frustration was that he was told Android devices would do things they wouldn't do. He was also frustrated with the way store level employees would respond to his questions, the same responses a lot of ordinary Joe customers get. For instance, he had problems with his Epic 4G, he was told by a store employee he had too many apps on his phone. Like many, Chamillionaire thought that was the idea.
Chamillionaire is an early adopter and rather tech savvy investing in companies such as Disqus that handle the comments here on TDG. He also explained that he was very patient when it came to technology that's why he decided to give Android not a second, third or even fourth try, he is actually on his fifth try now with a Nexus S 4G.
TDG is on the ground at TechCrunch Disrupt where Chamillionaire told our Silicon Valley Editor, Tony that he loves his Nexus S. According to Chamillionaire's blog he's also tried a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and reportedly loves that as well.
Danger co-founders reunite with Andy Rubin at Google to focus on Android hardware
In the year 2000, former Apple, WebTV and Philips employees Andy Rubin, Joe Britt, and Matt Hershenson founded a little company called Danger Incorporated, which you may know from such hits as the original Sidekick and a $500 million sale to Microsoft. One of those three co-founders, Andy Rubin, has since become a very public face at Google, and it turns out he's recently gotten back together with his former compatriots to do more than just reminisce about the old days. As Fortune reports, both Britt and Hershenson quietly joined Google "within the last twelve months" to run a new Android Hardware wing of the company. So far, much of their work has apparently focused on accessories and, while there's reportedly no plans for any actual Google-branded accessories anytime soon, Britt reportedly said that he would like to see the company produce some Android peripherals of its own "in the long term." Of course, Danger also produced its own software back in the day and, as you're probably aware, the key architect of it, Matias Duarte, is now at Google as well.

Google IO post-keynote press briefing
Out of the fat an into the fryer. We're fresh from the Google IO Day 1 keynote — maybe you caught our liveblog — and we're in the press briefing room for, well a press briefing. We're already spotting some names and faces — Matias Duarte is sitting next to yours truly.
No liveblog for this one, but we'll update with any happenings after the break.
Sidekick 4G review
It's been nearly two years since we last reviewed a T-Mobile Sidekick, and it would be a vast understatement to say things have changed. Then, they were designed by Danger and manufactured by Sharp, and were the messaging phone of choice. Today, following fiasco and failure, the Sidekick empire is in ruins. But good ideas and their originators live on, and several of Danger's brightest wound up in Mountain View, California. Danger's Andy Rubin founded Android, design director Mattias Duarte built Honeycomb (after helping craft the Helio Ocean and webOS for Palm) and now, the Sidekick itself has joined its founders in the house that Google built. In many ways, the Sidekick 4G is a return to form, but in an ecosystem filled with similar Android devices, can it stand out from the crowd?

text: So if this needs to be merged or whatever feel free. Topic is observations on performance difference without conclusion (I am after the conclusion) between the Battery Tender (BT) branded Jr. and the Plus models. In history I have had a BT Jr. keeping watch on my non-Yuasa YTX-14-BS for a couple years. It was a pre-charged job that I dropped in and away I went. The OEM Yuasa was never really that strong and I suspect it was a shelf battery (or used) dropped in without full charge at time of sale by the ass-clown dealer (but thats another series of stories). Recently I needed to charge a pair of Yuasa NP7-12's. I decided to buy and additional BT and selected the "Plus" model, as I already had the JR. Here is where the observations come in. Both on the bike and on the NP7-12's the Plus takes a lot longer to go solid green than the Jr. For sure the output of the Plus is higher at bulk charge than the Jr., however why on earth the full-charge solid green takes longer I cannot explain. Does the Plus have an additional charging step that the Jr. does not have? Kinda curious and not sure exactly what is up. While it is nice to think the Plus doing a more thorough job than the Jr., I'm without experience reports of others to compare.. Your own experiences with these two would be interesting. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only dude that has both models in his garage.

Rain off to military
By Yun Suh-young
Korean pop star and actor Rain joined the military Tuesday amid farewells from his devoted fans.
"Thank you for coming. I'm sorry to make such a fuss while leaving. I'll be back from my duties soon," said Rain, Tuesday, to fans who came to see him enter a military base in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province.
Rain, 29, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, smiled throughout the farewell event thanking his fans for the love they have given him over the past 10 years.
More than 1,000 people crowded near the base to see Rain on his last day as a civilian, waiting for two and a half hours for him to appear.
Holding placards saying, "I will wait for you, Rain," fans waited in front of the base from 10:30 a.m.
The meeting between Rain and his fans, however, only lasted five minutes.
The star's popularity was far reaching.
A few hundred fans were from Asia — Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan — and about 150 foreign and domestic journalists were also present at the scene, proving the star's international popularity.
The foreign fans who came all the way to Korea to see the pop star burst into tears as the meeting ended quickly.
Rain will serve in the military for the next 22 months.

Wow, the hair makes it look like your neck is all covered in veins which is a great contrast to the rose which is so beautiful. Great picture.
Wow this is really pretty. I'm fascinated by that rose it's like half of it is alive and the other half kind of just gave up on life, It's like it can't decide. I really love it though. I also find that the cool tones in the skin makes the rose pop out that much more. Great job

I have new iPad air and iPhone 5s with latest patches and they cannot see each other via Bluetooth...nice...i have enable and disabled Bluetooth and also rebooted without any success
hexonxonx Nov 26, 2013 10:56 AM
in response to Ostermyra
That is not a feature of any iOS device. You can not connect from one iPhone to an iPad using bluetooth to send or exchange files. You can't do that from iPhone to iPhone or even iPad to iPad. Don't waste your time trying.
There is nothing wrong with the devices, this is just how Apple has designed them since 2007. Don't look for this to change.
Drimbo Nov 26, 2013 11:55 PM

Well is this policy new then? I could make connection on my iPad3 with an iPhone (4?) of a colleage 1 year ago or so. It was in the memory of the bluetooth.
But now I got my own brandnew 5s, I have two spinners on both my devices. ^$$%%#$
BTW If you can't bluetooth between devices what use is it then?

It's the way it has always been with iPhones since 2007 and nothing has changed since then.
Bluetooth on iOS devices (iPhones/iPads/iPods) can be used for:
Playing music to a bluetooth capable car stereo
Making hands free phone calls using a bluetooth headset or car stereo
Tethering to a computer through the computers bluetooth to share the phones internet connection

Hi Drimbo
To the best of my knowledge the operational functionality of bluetooth is restricted where it is used for connecting bluetooth keyboard, trackpad, magic mouse and also with bluetooth head-set that on the high end side for instances Bose.
Whenever it comes to things what you have specifically queries why don't you try out Air Play functionalities and please do check the videso at macmost.com as it is a very userful link for getting your issues clarified with greater personal attention. Hope you found this useful.
With Kind Regards JM

I call BS n this post. You can pair a BT keyboard with an iDevice, I'm using one right now.
You are correct that you cannot use a mouse, trackpad, etc., but that has nothing to do with Bluetooth it has to do with the iOS design which does not have a cursor.
And the Bluetooth on iDevices and the iPod Nano will pair with no problem to high-end BT headphones such as Ultimate Ears, Sennheiser, etc. They also work fine with mid-level BT headphones like Bose.

I have a Hyundai genesis coupe 2013 3.8 . My 5C iPhone doesn't seem to pair up or connect. When I try to search in pairing there is no listing of my phone either, even though my 5c bluetooth is on. Can anyone help me on getting around this? I really need my hands free on my car back.

in response to Havi22
In the car's system settings delete any existing pairings to any iPhones or other iDevices. Then put the car into Discovery Mode. On the phone go to Settings/Bluetooth. after 10-20 seconds you should see the car's BlueTooth on the phone. Tap the Connect button. If this doesn't work try resetting the car's system to factory default.

I have this same issue with my Iphone5s. For 2 years I have been able to connect my Ipad2 via bluetooth to my Iphone4s and Shared Internet connection this way , for me it is way better to use the Hot Spot via Bluetooh as it will remain connected for as long as I want, using internet sharing via WI-FI decreases battery charge way faster and it keeps disconnecting. When using Bluetooth on Iphone4s I get stable connection all the time and I only needed to go straight to my Ipad bluetooth and connect, with Wifi I have to Open Hot Spot on Iphone and then Open the Ipad's wifi connections and selected it. It was way easier via bluetooth.

I just got a VW Golf Sportscombi, picked up today.
I have one iPhone 4s for work, with a Microsoft exhange accont on (everything; contacts, email and so on). This one works perfectly fine with the infotainment system.
My private iPhone 5 does not work as good. It gets disconected every 10-30 sec. This one is also connected to the exhange account except for the contacts.
I solved this by going on to the private one: Settings - Bluetooth - Info button on the cars name -
There you'll find a list with a few check boxes. I unchecked the box with "sync all contacts" and everything worked just fine. Strange, but it works.
Both phones runs on the latest iOS 7

Hello, I want to connect an iPhone 5 and a computer. I found and added each device on each but can't get them connected. The iPhone says "make sure the computer is turned on and in range". I have put the iPhone on the computer to make the distances shortest possible but without success for connection.... What to do?

Super Seniors (Over 70) Open Meeting
The competition in Kent for the more mature golfer. It will be an 18-hole Stableford for teams of four, including one Broome Park member. The best three scores on each hole to count. Play will be off the Yellow tees.
Open to all males 70 or over on the day of the competition who are members of recognised golf clubs, with handicaps of 24 and under (higher may play off 24). Team prizes for the first 3 teams. Individual prizes for nearest the pin and longest drive.
As last year the entry fee will be £90.00 per team of 3 (this includes Bacon Roll/Coffee at Registration and a rolling buffet afterwards).
We have followed the Super Seniors ethos in attempting to keep costs to a minimum so individuals will have to pay for any drinks with the rolling buffet (coffee is included).
Registration will be at the Mansion House and bacon rolls with coffee can be obtained there. The prize giving will follow the rolling buffet.
Dress code is very relaxed, it would help if one and all just changed out of their golf shoes and went straight into the buffet. It will speed things up considerably!
Tee off will be from noon onwards and will be a 2-tee start so with luck the noon starters should be finishing about 4.30pm. Those from more distant clubs will be given later starting times if requested.
Send your entry forms to Mr Ken Marsh, c/o Broome Park Golf Club, Barham, Canterbury, Kent CT4 6QX. Home tel. 01227-374563.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Washington Redskins and New York Jets are in serious trade negotiations and, if a deal is consummated, it would have the teams' top wide receivers changing uniforms, ESPN.com has learned.
Under terms of the trade proposal, the Redskins would send unhappy wide receiver Laveranues Coles to the Jets, the franchise with which he actually began his career. In return, Washington would get four-year veteran wideout Santana Moss.
League and team sources, here for the annual predraft scouting combine, confirmed the discussions. While the parameters of the trade appear to be in place, and each club seems satisfied with the terms, there remain several hurdles. Foremost among them, as reported Thursday by ESPN.com, is that the Redskins must first create salary cap room to absorb the hit they will take in a Coles trade.
But one team official said on Friday morning that, if he were a betting man, he would wager that the trade eventually is completed.
Jets coach Herm Edwards, asked on Friday if he would be interested in being reunited with Coles, who spent the first three years of his career in New York, declined comment, citing NFL anti-tampering rules.
"Man, I'm not going there, OK?" Edwards said, laughing. "(Coles) is under contract to another team. I don't want the commissioner coming after me."
The Jets clearly feel, though, that Coles is the better receiver of the two. The Jets did not want to let Coles escape in 2002, but the terms of the restricted free agent offer sheet to which the Redskins signed him, a seven-year deal worth $35 million and including a $13 million signing bonus, were too prohibitive to match.
Washington, which has decided it will move Coles, who has complained about the lack of verticality in the Redskins' offense, covets Moss' explosiveness.
Moss, 25, was the Jets' first-round choice in the 2001 draft and the former Miami (Fla.) star has been a productive playmaker when healthy. There have been times, however, when Moss has missed time with hamstring and knee injuries. In four seasons, he had 29 starts in 51 appearances, with 151 receptions for 2,416 yards and 19 touchdowns. His best season came in 2003, when he posted 74 catches, 1,105 yards and nine scores.
He is entering the final year of his original rookie contract and is scheduled to earn a base salary of $448,000 in 2005. Washington will seek a contract extension with Moss before completing any deal for him, but that should not be a problem. Drew Rosenhaus, the agent for Moss, has worked with Redskins owner Dan Snyder on several contracts in the past and the two men have a strong relationship.
Before the Redskins can complete any Coles trade, though, they must first carve out a considerable amount of cap room.
The salary cap math involved in the Coles' mess: If Washington trades the wide receiver, whom they signed as a restricted free agent in 2003, forfeiting a first-round draft choice to the Jets in that transaction, they face a cap impact in excess of $9 million.
Efforts to have Coles bypass a $5 million deferred signing bonus due him on April 1, a move that would have dramatically decreased the cap hit, seem to have fallen apart. Coles originally had agreed to forfeit the $5 million, but only as part of an agreement that he would be released, and able to choose his next team.
The Redskins don't have the cap space sufficient to afford the $9 million charge that would accompany a Coles trade. But offensive tackle Chris Samuels, whose cap charge for 2005 is $9.5 million and who is due $6.5 million in base salary and bonuses, can provide desperately needed room if he agrees to a new deal.
Samuels, 27, is agreeable to an extension but the numbers must be right before the five-year veteran, a first-round pick in the 2000 draft, signs off on a reworked contract. As of Thursday afternoon, despite accelerated negotiations between the Redskins and Samuels' agent, an accord was not imminent.
Agent Jimmy Sexton in January sent the Redskins a contract proposal that was rejected by Washington officials. A month later, the Redskins would love to strike a deal based on those January figures. Problem is, with the big-money contracts already signed during this offseason by Walter Jones of Seattle and Indianapolis' Ryan Diem, the financial landscape for offensive tackles has been altered.
Jones received a signing bonus of $16 million on a seven-year contract with total value of $52.5 million. Although he is one of the better left tackles in the league, Samuels does not rate in Jones' elite class. But Samuels still will merit a contract with a signing bonus close to what Jones received, with a per-year average of at least $6 million.

I feel like I'm improving in SAI, I'm still quite new to painting in this style and I feel landscape art helps bring out the best.
So here's some oriental inspired japanese art with Yamato from Naruto.
So here's some oriental inspired japanese art with Yamato from Naruto.
it's so beautiful!!!
love its atmosphere! so incredible ans awesome!
pretty much in love with this
This is Awesome! Not sure if intentional or not but I like how you used photography's rule of thirds giving the picture a very nice flow. My eyes start from the right and follow the branches to the left. I love the use of cool colors and how you overlayed a warm color for some of the shading and the leaves it really makes the leaves pop out even more. Good contrast while still being easy on the eyes. Great job. Keep up the good work and yes by the looks of this I would say you are improving in Sai even tho I haven't seen any of your old works lol
WOW that is so pretty! I wish Yamato actually did that! Great job
The contrast and the softness in this are lovely. Almost like a watercolor. It has such a tranquil feel about it, especially with the way the wind is blowing and the way Yamato's just sort of perched high in the branches at perfect ease.
This is my happiest piece so far~ I was aiming for watercolour so I'm happy you got that feel!xD
oh my gosh Iman this looks amazing! the tree is my favorite part. the branches are nicely shaded and the leaves add color and make a great compliment to the blue making the piece stand out. I can't wait to do a collab with you. your backgrounds are amazing
I love using colour~ without it the world would be so boring~.
Yeah I can't wait for the collab too!
Yeah I can't wait for the collab too!
Wow..This is so pretty. Good work!
Wow... This is gorgeous. I've not seen a piece of work in this style on here, and I must say I'm impressed. It seems to be an amazing style. I like it very much!
The colors, the scene, even the title is just... Plain beautiful. I applaud you. ^_^
The colors, the scene, even the title is just... Plain beautiful. I applaud you. ^_^
It was heavily inspired by traditional Japanese Oriental art...but done with Paint Tool Sai so there's a bit of variation!
Thankyou very much btw.

Beautiful work

Disadvantages Of Cash-Advance Through Credit Cards
Though the cash advance center made available from creditors is actually of receiving fast cash sometimes of financial meltdown, a convenient way, it must be eliminated so far as possible. The people should understand that higher level of charges and attention accompanies cash developments. Furthermore, you'll find no acceptance times provided for cash advances. Moreover, for customers who seek debt-relief, energy could be added by cash advance towards the fireplace and the hearth can add gasoline together. It would not be worsen before you go ahead to get a cash advance during your charge card to be familiar with the following details.
Though the fees for cash advance can change, it is generally superior. For determining the charge quantity two ways of measurements are utilized. Generally it's calculated over a proportion schedule, declare 1% to 4%. Different card issuers straight require?level charges? Due to their cash it and advances is usually frequent not in line with the level of advance. Another development that is common would be to incorporate both ways of computation. This can be certain to bring about greater charges. For instance, xPERCENT could demand for cash advance, but costs a minimum $10 no matter the amount of advance consumed. Another case could possibly be $20 whichever is not secondary or a provider who expenses xPERCENT. In that scenario, you need to read the charge card arrangement carefully before proceeding.
Another point to be mentioned will be to avoid using ATM devices for a cash advance. ATMs generally cost additional cost for a cash advance. This payment would go to the financial institution to which that one ATM goes. The Cash advance's best loophole will be the interest expenses. Interest billed for a cash advance through credit card's price is generally repeatedly greater than the interest for time-today purchase created throughout your credit cards. Another possible disadvantage of the cash advance through credit-card may be the method of payment by the card issuer and the acceptance period. Because it begins accumulating fascination practically instantly on withdrawal of the total amount a cash advance doesn't entail any grace time. Consequently even when your credit-card repayment is concluded, you may stilled be billed some money costs for a cash advance. Eventually, many card enterprises utilize the method of repayment of card buys before repayment to cash advance. Just in case such there is a balance maintained in a credit-card, it might result in a high net interest.
Cardholders could easily get simply get convinced through cash advance provides without recognizing the severe ramifications that it could later on leave to them.

Conference 2014 ~ November 5-9, 2014 ~ Denver
While the National Collegiate Honors Council is active throughout the year, it is at our annual national conference, held in the fall, that members from across the Unites States gather to share ideas and take part in numerous events and activities centered on honors. First-time attendees may feel overwhelmed by the number of sessions and opportunities available during the conference, but with a little planning beforehand, you'll have a great time!
What should I expect to do and learn at the national conference?
You get out of the conference exactly what you put into it. Many of the sessions cover issues that students deal with on a daily basis, including leadership, mentoring, and programming in honors. The Students in Honors session is extremely important, a unique opportunity to learn about student issues in NCHC and about Honors in general, and is a chance to connect with other Honors students. Also, many of the special sessions, keynote speakers, and other presentations help students gain a better understanding of the purpose and benefits of an Honors education. Events such as the poster sessions afford students the opportunity to present the results of their independent study and thesis work and inspire other students to pursue their own areas of study or personal interest.
Because the national conference consists of thousands of participants and hundreds of sessions, planning ahead is the best way to accomplish the most and avoid confusion. Before you arrive at the conference, think about the areas of Honors or NCHC that interest you. Then, look for those topics in the on-line version of the Conference Program Book.
You'll receive your own print copy of the Conference Program when you register at the Conference. Usually, the Conference Program lists a number of "strands," sessions that appeal to different groups attending the conference, including students. So, start by looking at the descriptions of these student sessions. Then, select several sessions to attend each day, and vary the session topics you attend. If there's a session you'd like to attend but are unable to, look for a similar topic scheduled for a more convenient time or day. Some sessions require you to sign up in advance, so be sure to read all of the on-line information prior to the conference. It's a good idea to take notes at the sessions you attend. A notebook is also useful for writing down snail-mail and e-mail addresses of presenters and of other people you meet. This enables you to get in touch with them after the conference ends for additional information or support. And if you have a question or comment, don't be afraid to politely speak up. One of the foundations of the conference is communication, and most presenters love feedback.
How can I become a presenter at the conference?
In order to make a presentation at the conference, you are required to fill out and submit a presentation proposal form several months prior to the conference. A call for presenters goes out in January or February prior to the conference. Generally, you are asked to briefly describe your topic and your presentation of it. Although there are allowances for audiovisual presentations, try to explore all other presentation options before requesting AV equipment. The use of AV equipment during the conference is expensive, and increased conference costs could lead to increased membership dues. Also, please be as accurate as possible when filling out the proposal form. Review the proposal with your Honors Director to ensure that you've filled everything out properly. Each conference generates hundreds of requests to fill the limited amount of time and space. If your proposal is incomplete, inaccurate, or incorrectly submitted, you may not be accepted for presentation.
Student Moderators
Another option for participating at conference is to be a student moderator. Student Moderators are used for the General Sessions and are responsible for the sessions to which they are assigned. Responsibilities include arriving early, ensuring that the room is set up, reminding the presenters of the time frames, beginning and ending on time, introducing the presenters, and encouraging and facilitating discussions. The Student Moderator application can be found here. Student Moderators will not be notified until 10 days before conference of which session they are moderating. Questions regarding topics or proposals should be directed to Jack Rhodes at email@example.com or 843-953-3708.
Aside from sessions, what other activities are at the conference?
While the major components of the national conference are presentations and discussion sessions, there are many other student activities that make the conference fun and a memorable experience. The conference usually begins with City as TextTM, a series of walking tours that allow participants to learn about local culture and history. There's also the gala, a chance to party at an exciting place in the host city. Recent galas have been held at the Carter Center in Atlanta, the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World in New Orleans, and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Finally, there are student socials and mixers almost every evening.
For more detailed information about the student events planned for the next conference, check the student events page.
Student Viewpoints and Experiences
At my first NCHC conference, I attended a meeting of the Precollege Education of the Gifted Committee, and amazing things happened for the students there. We told our stories, and for the first time I realized that I was not alone in Honors. Many of us had been gifted "low achievers" in our early academic careers, with high test scores but low grades. We lacked motivation. We didn't care about succeeding. But then something happened to change our attitudes. We started succeeding and joined our Honors Programs. We were excited by the challenges and the expectations of our Honors communities. That meeting changed my perspective on what Honors can do for students. It made me want to help new members in my program find their way, so they could feel connected.

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is impressive for its open-knit, expressive bouquet of violets, dark cherries, minerals, menthol and grilled herbs. Medium in body, the wine delivers gorgeous length and a polished, refined finish. It is a strong effort in this vintage. The estate's Brunello is made from vineyards in Castelnuovo dell'Abate (70%) and Canalicchio (30%). In 2005 La Gerla did not produce their Vigna gli Angeli bottling and opted instead to add that fruit to the regular bottling. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020." (04/10) 90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Good medium-deep red. Flamboyant aromas of plum, raspberry and truffle are complicated by notes of exotic spices. Then juicy and fresh, with noteworthy precision to the red fruit and mineral flavors. Brisk and concentrated on the finish, displaying noteworthy length for an entry-level wine and polished, smooth tannins. This graceful wine remains light on its feet." (07/10) 90 points Wine Enthusiast: "An extensive aging program has beautifully shaped this Brunello. The wine shows balanced notes of fruit and spice with a smooth, silky texture. The density is not too thick or overdone and the wine would pair with pasta or risotto." (10/10)

After further review, Paris has double-double streak restored
Updated: November 29, 2007, 7:43 PM ETAssociated Press
NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma center Courtney Paris' double-doubles streak is still intact after all.
The streak had ended at 64 games when she got only eight rebounds against Mississippi State last week in Cancun, Mexico. But a review of the game video credited her with two more defensive rebounds, keeping the two-year streak alive.
"I think it's cool. If I got the rebounds, then it's cool that
it's counted," Paris said after practice Thursday. "But it's

Our national pastime has become a national indecency.
Granted, there are things worse than a public indecency: tragedies, atrocities, high crimes. But still, public indecencies irritate and disappoint ? especially when they are cheered.
In Washington, D.C., Mayor Anthony A. Williams announced his plans to build a 41,000-seat, city-financed baseball stadium at a price tag of $440 million to entice the Montreal Expos to make the nation's capitol their home. And the people cheer.
Well, that's what the newspapers printed, anyway. No one I knew broke out in jubilation. But I'm sure a lot of people are very glad to hear that professional baseball will be back to Washington, after over thirty year in hiatus. Under other circumstances, I'd be cheering now, too.
But, with the current deal, any gain for District sports fans will be offset by the further erosion of a sense of decency in public policy.
Today we hardly bat an eye when a large enterprise like a sports stadium is started not by business people, but by politicians. Or when one of the poorest-run cities in the nation distracts itself from improving its badly provided essential services to engage in what has become a rich-man's luxury. Or when we see captains of industry reduced from creators of wealth to welfare addicts.
The Game Plan
It's not a done deal. Williams and his cronies still have to face a somewhat skeptical D.C. city council. Yet no one seems confident that the purchasing of city council support, by one nefarious manner or another, can be prevented.
As usual, the proponents are carefully preparing the finances to make it look like "somebody else pays." The $440 million cost of the stadium would come from selling bonds. But bonds actually have to be paid back ? in this case, from annual lease charges of $5.5 million to the baseball team's owners, taxes on in-stadium goods, and taxes on the gross receipts of area businesses that make more than $3 million per year.
The lease payments are a sweetheart deal for the baseball team, even far sweeter than the deals other politicians are awarding to other teams on the baseball dole. And surely, the team could pay for its own stadium from the barrels of dough raked in on concessions, not just a small percentage of tax heaped on top.
Yet, the most ridiculous notion is that taxes on Washington's most successful businesses will mean that the average citizen gets free baseball and a free stadium. Why don't we get these big businesses to wipe out world poverty while they're at it?

We needed a new roof on our barn/shed and didn't want to put too much money into it. Star Roofing gave us a very fair bid and promptly went to work. They didn't try and push a lot of extras and accessories as they were aware we were on a tight budget. They did a great job and we are extremely happy [...]
Replaced my old gutters with new gutters and down spouts. It was great. Good communication, the workers showed up on time, got the job done quickly and left the yard the way it was before they showed up.
We wanted you to know how very pleased we are with the finished product; your company did an excellent job!

Okay, my friends, get your kleenex ready. This video tells the story of a 96-year-old man who wrote a song for his recently deceased wife (of over 70 years), and how a local recording studio helped to bring the song to life. Part of what's so cool for me personally is that we share the same anniversary (June 26), although of course they celebrated their golden anniversary three years before Fran and I got married.
And be sure to download the song from iTunes (I have).

Trying to navigate through the world of health insurance was a rocky road for Lakewood Ranch, Fla. small business owner Sally Reeder.
As owner of Classic World Travel, Reeder became disenchanted with the cost and limitations surrounding traditional insurance plans. The self-employed travel agent began a search for health insurance that didn't require deep pockets.
"With traditional insurance, I was paying a higher cost for upfront benefits that I didn't always use and I was constantly frustrated by the rules and restrictions you had to meet," Reeder said. "When I was sick, I wasn't able to get an appointment with my primary doctor, so I simply went to a clinic and paid out-of-pocket."
"I like the fact that I can plan for future medical costs and that I can put money into an account that I can use for any medical expense and is tax deductible."
Reeder wasn't the only small business owner in need of a new, better way to plan and pay for healthcare costs.
Financial planner and health agent William Steffen had also been down the same path and was looking for something better for himself and his clients. The Bradenton, Fla. resident and president of Steffen Financial, said, "The business owner is always willing to educate themselves on how to do things a better way."
And what the two entrepreneurs agreed upon is that they could take control of their health care spending with health savings accounts (HSA).
Reeder and Steffen are not alone. In a recent nationwide Gallup poll, small business owners who set 2007 goals and objectives for their businesses indicated that the cost of insurance (64 percent) and taxes (62 percent) top their concerns.
Finding the right kind of health plan can be a challenge for the self-employed and their families, and for the employees of small businesses as well. According to a study conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 29% of America's 13.1 million self-employed men and women were uninsured in 2005. Moreover, the number of small businesses providing health coverage to their workers has fallen steadily and is now below 60 percent. No one can afford to be without health care coverage.
Health Savings Accounts became widely available by law on January 1, 2004. Today, more than 3 million Americans are covered by health savings account (HSA) plans and that number is expected to soar to between 25-30 million by 2010, according to figures from the U.S. Treasury Department. At our company, over 40 percent of our customers are now covered by HSA plans.
HSAs have two components: a high deductible health insurance plan and a tax-favored health savings account. Because higher deductible health insurance costs less, the money you save on premiums can be placed into a special tax-advantaged health savings account.
Your health savings earn interest on a tax-deferred basis. You can even choose to invest them in mutual funds and other vehicles. Then, as you need to, you can withdraw the savings to pay towards your deductible or for other qualified medical expenses including dental and vision care – all tax free. That's your decision, you decide when to spend.
The idea of taking more control over their health care spending is practical as well as emotionally appealing, and the potential cost-savings to consumers over their lifetimes is significant. At our company, for example, customers often save 45-55 percent or more on their health insurance premiums if they choose an HSA plan over a traditional copay plan.
You own your savings account. You make the decisions how and when to spend the money. Your savings roll over year after year, earning interest. Your HSA is portable and goes with you.
Importantly, as long as you use your account for qualified medical expenses now or in retirement, your savings are never taxed. After age 65, if you do find that you need your savings for other retirement living, you only pay ordinary income tax on withdrawals.
Recent changes in HSA law enacted as part of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 provide new opportunities to build up tax-advantaged savings for current and future health care spending,.
Under the new law, HSA holders can choose to save up to $2,850 for an individual and $5,650 for a family in 2007 ($3,650 for individuals and $6,450 for families if you're 55 or older). Remember these contributions are 100% tax-deductible from gross income.
The new law also allows a one-time transfer from an individual retirement account (IRA) or flexible spending account (FSA) to an HSA as long as it does not exceed the annual contribution limit.
Moreover, for individuals and families who open their HSA in a month other than January, the new law permits to contributing the maximum amount.
As HSAs continue to grow in popularity, there is a strong likelihood of additional incentives and enhancements. •

But if your current difficulty is global, occurring whether or not you've been drinking, rather than just the result of a binge-y night, then I'm a little worried. Drinking a whole lot a whole lot can cause long-term damage it can mess up testosterone production among other ills so I'd be happier hearing that you can get a hard-on (and that your balls aren't shrinking), it's just that you often don't because you've often been drinking. Dude, see a doctor. I cannot guarantee he or she won't be judgmental (I can pretty much guarantee s/he will, actually). But buck up and find out if there's something really going wrong.
While you've got the doctor's attention, you've got a chance to ask for Viagra or one of its little friends. Getting a hard-on is not going to solve all your problems but at least it would be pleasant while it lasted.
I close with this helpful suggestion from the official Viagra patient information Web site: "To help avoid symptoms of ED, it's best to avoid drinking large amounts of alcohol before having sex."

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters (2007)
This movie is great!
There are two types of people, those who get Aqua Teen Hunger Force and those who just don't understand its appeal. Having said that, I am of the former. I have always loved Aqua Teen Hunger Force. For those like me, you will not be disappointed. This movie is great! Sure, the movie goes all over the place and has a zany plot that really goes no where, but thats what makes the movie so good, it follows the same crazy storyline style of the show. Without giving too much away, from the old school 80s style death metal intro on to the end, the movie is hilarious. Any fan of the show MUST see this movie, it is in my opinion the best piece of work to come out of Williams Street to date.
The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
One of the best movies ever!
This is one of the best movies ever made! Although this movie gained little popularity compared to many of the stars previous movies this movie was excellent! The 2 disc dvd set of this movie promises to be even better, i'll be picking up my copy tomorrow :) If you have the chance to see this masterpiece of a movie do not pass it up!
100 Girls (2000)
The Best Film Ever, The American Pie of Next Year!!!
Although this movie does not come out in the US for half a year or so... this is a very promising movie. I have just seen the movie and I thought it was great. This is definitely the American Pie of 2001. Its got a great cast as well as great actors. Unfortunately since this is an independent film it may not get the hype that it deserves. Although in my mind this movie is way better then American Pie it will probably never be as popular because of this fact. Anyway... I recommend you go see this movie the second it hits theaters... I give this movie a 10 out of 10 this movie is especially for the 15-25 year old age range... teens will love it, while adults may enjoy it too.

There are all kinds of reasons why you might not be able to fly when you were planning to, or need to make a change in a scheduled itinerary. Unfortunately, one of those might be the death of a loved one. But now that most domestic airlines don't offer special bereavement fares, many fliers find themselves dealing with airlines after they've already bought tickets to try to make changes. But because airlines don't want just anyone to pull the "my grandma died," often customers are finding the process of changing or canceling flights in these situations daunting, confusing, and well, a bit tacky.

Spirit Airlines Wants To "Hug The Haters," Do Better Job Of Explaining Fees
After years of being far and away the airline with the highest level of passenger complaints, Spirit now says it wants to begin the healing by offering to "hug the haters."

Spirit Airlines CEO: Consumers Complain Because They Don't Understand Us
They say you get what you pay for, so if you're flying cheaply, should you expect a lower level of customer service?

And a new promotion and recent comments from Spirit's CEO don't give any indication that the carrier's attitude will be changing. [More]
Spirit Airlines: The Most Complained-About Carrier In The U.S.
Yes, we've repeatedly made fun of delusional Spirit Airlines CEO Ben Baldanza for his claim that his company is the "most consumer-friendly" airline around, especially when it comes in dead-last in traveler opinion surveys and is the only U.S. carrier to make a recent list of the world's worst airlines. And a new study confirms that Spirit's passengers are several times more likely to complain than passengers on any other domestic carrier. [More]

But it's so dang complicated, even an astrophysicist says he can't figure out how to make the boarding line a less awful experience. [More]
Spirit Airlines Makes Carlos Danger Its Promo Poster Boy: The Weiner Rises Again

"The Weiner Rises Again!" trumpets Spirit in its new promo, featuring a masked frank holding a cell phone. See, because it's the second time that Weiner has admitted to sending saucy messages to women. And this go-around, he took on the personality of one "Carlos Danger." [More]
Hey, Fans Of Canned Wine! Spirit Airlines Has Some Great News For You

Spirit Airlines Comes In Dead Last In Latest Ratings, CEO Still Delusional
Earlier today, our lunch buddies at Consumer Reports released their roundup of the major U.S.-based commercial airlines. And, in what will be a shock to almost no one who follows the travel industry, Spirit received the lowest possible rating in each of the survey's six categories. The CEO's response: "We have great customer service." [More]
The Federal Aviation Administration would undoubtedly get more respect from the public if it was as obscenely candid as it is in this Onion article about how horrible the airlines handle customers. Our favorite line: "The FAA has come to the determination that Spirit Airlines treats its customers like pieces of sh!t and that everyone should boycott this airline." [via The Onion]
Spirit Airlines Switches Customer Help Numbers From Toll-Free 800 To Not-Free 801 Area Code
Need help from Spirit Airlines? It'll cost you now: the company that brought us carry-on bag fees is cutting corners yet again, by switching its customer help numbers from the toll-free 800 area code to the not-so-free 801 area code. Of course, that change will likely only affect customers calling from a landline, at about $0.05 to $0.18 per minute. In any case, we're not surprised. [More]

Spirit CEO On "Dollar Store Of The Sky" Nickname: We Might've Tried To Coin That
Spirit Airlines has a reputation for charging up the whatsit for every and any add-on it can come up with, so we're not entirely surprised that CEO Ben "Fine, I Suppose We'll Refund A Dying Man's Ticket" Baldanza is more than okay with his airline's reputation as the "dollar store of the sky."

With Iron Man in his custody, the Mandarin reveals his life story, the origin of his powers, and his plan to ignite World War 3! Also: Captain America must fight his way out of a prison full of ... more
That's strange. Here on Earth 1218, Chinese dragons are considered intelligent and benevolent.
'But I knew I would never starve - For I had a destiny to fulfill!' Amazing. :-) Really enjoyed the Mandarin's origin story, getting into his mind and sharing the adventure. Alien dragon, the rings - I like it.
And we end the Iron Man story with...Tony Stark still officially dead and Iron Man wanted. In fact we don't get any further information about what's up in the US at all. But we do get a conclusion to the Mandarin-Plot, as well as an Origin for the villain.
And that origin is...meh. Some very good elements (you get his strong aura, and parts of his upbringing, but it also feels, as if some ideas were dropped suddenly...his aunt dies off-panel after one panel of actual interaction with this possible antagonist/possible helper, and on his way to a mystic place he falls down a cliff, to instead find a spaceship. I especially like, how he says, he feels no fear, only to scream at finding a skeleton the very next panel.
And with that the rings are explained, though still not all defined. But we're getting there. This was, so far, the best Mandarin-Story in my eyes.
The Cap-Story was...a bit of a letdown after the last one. Stan freely admits to use the same premise as in a previous issue in a caption box of the splash page and reverts back to a bunch o normal man for Cao America. The interesting thing though is Stan changing something he did to make CA more modern: Captain America through out all the magnetic gadgets Iron Man put into the shield, since he didn't need them, and they were throwing of the balance of the shield a bit. A nice touch, but it can't quite safe this story. And the end-joke is...well, terrible. I'm pretty sure they said these words a thousand times, while standing in front of it...and every villain getting in or out of prison will hear the password.
Overall nice issue, but better stories for both heroes were around the corner.
