After a heavy lobbying campaign by the electric industry, President George W. Bush broke a campaign promise and decided not to regulate carbon dioxide emissions, humiliating Christie Whitman, his EPA administrator, and effectively killing the Kyoto Protocol on global climate change. The President said that he was worried about an energy crisis and that he wasn't entirely convinced that global warming was real. OPEC decided to cut production by 4 percent in order to keep oil prices high. North and South Korea exchanged mail for the first time since the Korean War. Apparently offended by President Bush's comments last week about dear leader Kim Jong Il, North Korea cancelled peace talks with South Korea and denounced the United States as a "nation of cannibals." South Korean scientists discovered over 100 endangered species thriving in the Demilitarized Zone along the border with North Korea. Russia said it would again sell arms to Iran, causing some Russians to wonder whether the weapons would end up in the hands of Islamicterrorists within their own borders. President Vladimir Putin was said to be off in Siberia hunting wolves. Iranian president Mohammad Khatami called for more democracy and freedom; within hours, Iranian security forces arrested forty pro-democracy activists. General Augusto Pinochet of Chile was released on bail pending his trial for accessory to murder and kidnapping. Chechen terrorists hijacked a Russian plane and flew it to Saudi Arabia, landing in the holy city of Medina. An American navy fighter jet dropped a 500-pound bomb on American troops in Kuwait, killing six. Khalid Abu Elba, the Palestinianbus driver who ran down and killed eight Israelis at a bus stop last month, testified in court. "I am not sorry," he announced. Israel relaxed the blockade of the West Bank town of Ramallah, changing it, in the official jargon, from a "suffocating blockade" to a "breathing blockade."
Stocks went down; President Bush said he was "concerned that a lot of Americans' portfolios have been affected." His daughter Jenna was photographed smoking a cigarette, apparently drunk. An appeals court upheld the Texas antisodomy law in a case involving two Houston men who were arrested for having sex in their own home. Scientists confirmed that people are able to repress unwanted memories. President Bush made the TV news when he bumped his head getting into Air Force One.California'sRepublican Party was trying to convince Arnold Schwarzenegger to run for governor.A man in Ghana was shot dead while testing a magic spell that was supposed to make him bulletproof; villagers severely beat their incompetent witch doctor.The Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy held its 28th annual convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.Democrats, who lately have been raising record amounts of soft money, were worried that campaign-finance reform might actually pass this year.President Vicente Fox of Mexico said that he would "eradicate torture forever," even though it has been a standard part of Mexican justice for centuries, most recently with equipment purchased from the United States.Chinese prime minister Zhu Rongji apologized for the school explosion that killed 38 young children who were making fireworks.The head of India's governing Bharatiya Janata Party was forced to resign after Internet journalists posing as arms dealers videotaped him accepting a bribe.England's Princess Ann, the daughter of Queen Elizabeth II, pled guilty to driving 93 mph in a 70 mph zone last summer; the princess just kept driving after she saw the police car flashing its lights at her speeding Bentley, assuming, she said, that it was offering to escort her.
Forty-six thousand pounds of chicken blocked traffic on a Houston freeway after a truck turned over; the driver lost control while lighting a cigarette; dozens of drivers stuffed boxes of processed chicken products into their cars, ignoring warnings about contamination. Aventis CropScience reported that 430 million bushels of American corn are contaminated with StarLink, its genetically modified corn, which is unfit for human consumption, much more than the 70 million bushels previously reported. Coca-Cola's chief executive officer told a British newspaper that he would not be happy until people can turn on their taps and get Coke instead of water. Epidemiologists think the current hoof-and-mouth epidemic in England may have started with contaminated swill fed to pigs in Heddon-on-the-Wall; leftover airline food from a country affected by the disease might have been in the swill. The United States banned imports of European animals and animal products. Burger King recalled 400,000 Rattling, Paddling Riverboat toys after they were determined to be a choking hazard; McDonald's recalled 234,000 toys last week for the same reason. Afghanistan's ruling Taliban sacrificed 100 cows to atone for being so slow to destroy ancient stone statues of the Buddha. The bones of Madalyn Murray O'Hair, the former president of the American Atheists, were identified, as were those of her son and granddaughter. The bones were found on a ranch in Texas; the bodies were burned, their legs removed, and stacked in a shallow grave. A Russian urologist successfully reconstituted a coffin maker's penis after it was cut into six pieces by a circular saw. Two fertilityscientists based in the United States announced that they expected to grow the first human clone within two years. Seven-year-old Regan Muse convinced her father, a state representative from Maine, to introduce legislation banning elephants from circuses. A North Dakota man was convicted of "contact by bodily fluids" and sentenced to five years in prison for urinating on a deputy sheriff's leg. Scientists were testing the use of LSD and other hallucinogens to treat mental illness. A man in Beverly, Massachusetts, was arrested for threatening to kill his girlfriend with a homemade bazooka that shoots potatoes.

In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

We spent 3 nights at the Cort Cottage in late July for my birthday. It was very hot in Three Rivers, but the cottage has good A/C. It cooled significantly as the sun went down and we much enjoyed a glass of wine on the beautiful patio as we listened to the birds (also great for morning coffee). The cottage is located just outside an entrance to the fantastic Sequoia National Park and makes a great base for day trips. It is cozy and rustic, but with all the amenities (fully stocked kitchen, wifi, nice bathroom) necessary to keep it very comfortable. The dark, quiet nights made for very restful sleep. There are trails on BLM land just down the road that we enjoyed for morning walks. We are looking forward to returning to the Cort Cottage in winter or spring to see a different side of Sequoia!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Private guest cottage located 4 miles from main entrance to Sequoia National Park. The cottage is fully equipped with kitchen, satellite internet, flat screen television with satellite reception, DVD./CD player, queen bed and fold down futon couch, reading library, air conditioning, outdoor hot tub, and private bath. Breakfast food is included. Biodynamic craniosacral sessions available from host who is also a RN. Special retreat packages for nursing burnout retreat and for writers and artists. Families welcome. ... more less

I still remember the phone call.
I was in my dressing room on the "Everybody Loves Raymond" stage when my assistant called to say CBS President Leslie Moonves was on the line. We were in our fourth season and had started to do pretty well in the ratings, but not great. I wasn't about to rule out that this was the "cancellation call," that I was now officially out of the business and had to give back all the money. Hesitantly, I answered the phone.
"Hey, Ray, Les Moonves. How are you?"
I wanted to say, "Cut the lame small talk; just stick the knife in me and be done with it." Instead I went with, "Fine." Then I laughed lamely, coughed and said, "Excuse me."
There was a short, awkward silence, and then, "So, you wanna come play Augusta?"
Again, silence.
Did I hear right? Did he say, "play Augusta"? I think he did, and if he did, then holy crap, that's the exact opposite of canceling the show and taking back all my money.
As suave as I could, I said, "Augusta? Yeah, why not?" while trying hard not to let him hear the Tom Cruise jump I was doing on my couch. I couldn't believe it. Not only would I get to see the Masters in person, I'd be playing Augusta National with some CBS bigwigs the day after.
The first thing I had to do was explain to my wife, who knows nothing about sports, that I really needed to leave her and our four kids for three days so I could watch and then play golf. Somehow I needed to explain the enormity of this invitation. Terms like "Mecca" and "Holy Land" have little effect on someone who cares nothing about golf. I had to put this in terms she could relate to.
"Honey, it's like you got an invitation to the land where they make Gucci "
Almost. She almost understood.
" and Bon Jovi lived there."
Boom! Now she got it. There's no way I wasn't going.
We arrived on Friday of the 2000 Masters and hopped in a CBS golf cart for a ride to the clubhouse. That's when I used my cell phone for one of those "Guess where I am?" calls to my buddy Claude in New York. Suddenly, Les Moonves panicked. "Put that phone away, Ray. They're not allowed here. Holy s---, we'll lose the account."
I apologized, put it away and thought, Man, this is cool. I'm at the only golf course in the world that can make the most powerful man in show business panic. I couldn't wait to call Claude and tell him.
On Sunday, Moonves, me and a couple of other execs watched the final round from the press stands on Amen Corner. We had a great view of the approach shots at 11, the entire par-3 12th and the tee shot for the par-5 13th. We watched about the last 10 groups come through, and then walked to the 18th to see Vijay win. Absolutely thrilling.
That night I slept like a fat kid on Christmas Eve. I looked at the clock every 10 minutes, just willing the morning to arrive. Somehow I got two or three hours sleep, and Monday we drove to the no-nonsense security checkpoint at the entrance to Magnolia Lane, where everyone had to show his official invitation from the club. They even demanded a picture ID. For a minute, I got a little scared. This was Augusta. They have their own rules. What if they run my name through their computer, find out I owe late fees at Blockbuster and ban me? Before I could really panic, they waved us through.
That day I made a promise to myself that with respect to the tradition and history of the ground we were on, I always would play by the rules. That meant no mulligans, no gimmes, no "I'll just drop it here." I really wanted to see what I could shoot on the same course that Vijay, Tiger and the boys had faced on Sunday -- same tees, same hole locations. My handicap then had fluctuated between 14 and 17, and I set a goal for myself: I wanted to break 100 from the tips.
That first year I shot 106, but it wasn't without some memorable moments. I finished with a par on 18, and even better was parring the 13th, the same hole Ernie Els would make an 8 on in 2002. You hear that, Claude? On one of the most famous holes in golf I beat Ernie Els by three shots. Of course, I don't think he ever six-putted No. 14. That's right, six-putted.
But here's the beauty of playing Augusta: Even after six-putting, the smile never left my face. It never does when I'm there. That's the magic of the place. You get swept up in the beauty, the history and the colors. When I saw the course in person for the first time, the green of the fairways blew me away. It's like green in High Def.
Last year, I returned for what I'm afraid might be my last round at Augusta. It was two months after we'd filmed the last episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond." I had to be realistic. This was a great perk of having a CBS show, but it wouldn't last forever. And if this was my last time, I was determined to come away with a score in double digits.
In my foursome are two agents and one of Moonves' writer friends. All three are single-digit handicappers, but for some reason they don't want to play the back tees. I explain that I have a 16-handicap, but I still want to play the tournament tees. It's tradition.
They tell me it's fine if I wanna play the tips, but they're gonna play up front.
Oh boy. Now I have a dilemma.
It was 7,290 yards from the tips then, and 6,365 from the fronts. If I break 100 from the front tees, it won't mean the same. On the other hand, if I play the backs it might get weird when I dub one 50 yards and don't even reach them.
"C'mon, guys," I say. "If you get to take batting practice at Yankee Stadium, are you gonna take it from second base?"
No response. I got a little desperate.
"Bon Jovi would play the tips."
They played the fronts; I played the backs.
Standing on that first tee, I tell myself that all I need to do to reach my goal of breaking 100 is to shoot 27 over par or better. I remind myself to have fun and not think about score. Then I remind myself that breaking 100 would make it fun, so I'll probably be thinking about my score.
With that, I pull my opening tee shot way left over the trees, into the ninth fairway.
Calm down, stupid.
My next shot sails majestically over the trees and back into the first fairway, leaving me 60 yards from the hole.
Not bad.
My third stops one foot from the hole.
Calm down, stupid.
I make the putt, and I'm even par at Augusta after one hole. You hear that, Claude? If this was the Masters, I'd be on the leader board!
After a bogey and a double bring me back to reality, I stand on the 205-yard fourth trying to decide between a 4- and a 5-iron. It's downhill, so I hit the 5-iron. As it sails right for the pin I worry out loud:
"Is it enough? Is it enough?"
If it was enough, why I am holding a sand wedge?
I try to blast out of the bunker, and the ball goes nowhere. Double bogey. It doesn't seem right to curse at Augusta, but I do.
On the 455-yard fifth I hit driver, 5-iron to pin-high on the left. I need a flop shot over the bunker to get it close.
I flop it into the bunker.
Another curse, a small whimper and a guttural half-yell.
I blast out to six feet. This would be a moral victory to come away with a bogey.
I sink it. I'm back.
On the 180-yard sixth, I hit a good tee shot just on the fringe but follow it with a terrible chip. Why? Because I'm a stupid man with body odor.
I tell the agents I'll miss them as I hike 80 yards back to my tee on the 410-yard seventh. In the history of the Masters, I'd learn later, no pro had ever scored higher than 8 on this hole. Time to make history.
Ten. I got a 10.
Why? Because I'm a hack and my face is ugly.
Even with that disaster, I refuse to give up. I'm actually driving the ball great, which gives me hope. The surprising thing about Augusta is how wide open it plays. It always looked narrow on TV, but in reality it's not. Even so, I finish the front nine with a bogey on 8 and a triple on 9. When I look at the damage, it says 53. That's 17 over par.
I need a hug.
Am I giving up? No. I need to shoot 10 over on the back to break 100. Stranger things have happened. On the 495-yard 10th I hit driver, hybrid 5-iron to 15 feet and make the two-putt par. I don't think you heard me: I'm not giving up!
After a bogey at 11 to start Amen Corner, I'm on the famous 12th. The history, the tradition, the shank into the pond.
Double bogey. I then bogey 13 and 14 and realize that with all the trouble I had on the front nine, I can still shoot 98 if I bogey out.
I nail a drive on the par-5 15th that leaves me 240 yards to the green. I want to go for it, but I have to clear that damn pond. Yesterday Chris DiMarco laid up from 218 yards. Ray Romano is going for it from 240.
I grab my 3-wood. I take a deep breath. And I reconsider.
Lay up, I tell myself. Just leave a 40- or 50-yard pitch for your third.
I switch to a 7-iron, and just as I'm about to address the ball I look at my caddie. "I've gotta go for it," I tell him. "I've got a chance to get on the 15th in two." Who knows, maybe a little Gene Sarazen magic.
He hands me the 3-wood and spits a little chewing tobacco on the grass. It's a dramatic touch that pumps me up. I take a breath and then drill the 3-wood right on the button. It's headed for the hole.
"You got it!" says my caddie.
"Go! Go!" I yell.
I get a rush of adrenaline as we watch it sail toward the hole. These are the coolest moments in golf. You can't change what's going to happen. You did what you could, now it's up to the golf gods. You can only watch and hope it goes your way.
Green or water?
Green or water?
I curse my luck, my game and my dog as I walk up and take a drop 40 yards from the hole. Then, somehow I pitch to four feet and have a putt to save par. I stand over the putt, and to quote my son Joe, from when he was 3 years old: "I scared."
I make it. I make the putt, my third par of the day. I'm 22 over with three to play. If I bogey out I shoot 97. I can do this.
On to the 16th, the famous par 3 that Tiger made even more famous with his chip-in the day before. I hit a 6-iron behind the bunker on the left. And, once again, my flop shot fails me and lands in the bunker.
Why, why, why?
I'm thinking about score again. "I'll blast out and one-putt for bogey."
I blast out to 15 feet. But wait a minute. This is that green where magic happens, and sure enough the ball rolls back to three feet. I get a little giddy.
A simple three-footer.
Right here I learned there's nothing worse than a lip-out on a three-footer. UNLESS YOU LIP OUT THE TWO-FOOTER COMING BACK. Triple-bogey 6.
I want to rip my ear off.
Now I need bogey-bogey for 99. I start talking to myself.
"C'mon, it's your last time here. Just keep it together. You need a haircut."
On 17, I make a clutch five-footer for bogey. I start talking again.
"Way to go, Ray. Just relax and swing easy. You're not gay just 'cause you got a manicure."
I step up to 18, and as much as I try to relax, I'm a little nervous. Somehow, I manage a good drive that just catches the right rough. I've only got 165 yards. Uphill. I stand over the ball with a 6-iron and talk:
"Just get it airborne."
What I should have said was, "Don't top it. Don't hit the worst shot of the day and advance it only 40 yards."
Now I need to regroup. I need to knock it on and two-putt. Another deep breath and I hit a pitching wedge that looks good but drifts right. Will it get over the bunker and onto the green?
No, it won't. It's in the bunker.
One last chance for 99: Get up and down.
I blast out, and the ball lands a foot from the hole. For one moment I have a glimmer of hope, and then it's crushed as the ball continues rolling, 20 feet down the hill.
For the first time I let the thought register that I'm not going to break 100, and I'm OK with it. I got to play Augusta again, and as the kids say, "It's all good." Of course, in the back of my head I'm thinking, Maybe I can make a miraculous chip for 99.
Chip to six feet. Miss the putt. Triple-bogey 7. Final score: 101.
We all gather for a group picture, and after one final look down the 18th fairway we walk off, and I realize that when I talk to my kids, and eventually my grandkids, about playing the greatest course in the world, score won't matter. What will matter is when they hear the excitement and thrill in my voice as I describe what it was like.
I told Claude I shot 94.

Hi everyone!
This is the first time I'm using a localhost (via MAMP) to develop a multisite. It's 1 main site: http://www.mrtjazz.com, with 2 subdirectories: http://www.mrtjazz.com/mardra, and http://www.mrtjazz.com/reggie.
Hosting is provided through a company called Verve Hosting, and they use Cpanel to manage files and everything else.
Here's the problem I'm having, and forgive me if this is a dumb one because I'm new to all of this. When I first migrated my site live, my network admin panel wouldn't load - I kept getting a redirect loop. I still could access the dashboard and all other pages for my main site and both subdirectories.
I changed some settings in my wp-config file and when I reuploaded that to the site using Cpanel, the rest of the sites were working fine (as they did before) but my Network Admin was now linking to my localhost, not the network admin panel/page/section on the live site.
How do I make the network admin page on the live site appear and not link to the network admin on my local host? I need to manage certain plugins at a network level on the live site (like BackupBuddy). Or am I missing the point of using localhost and this is supposed to happen?
Thanks in advance for all of the help!

German bank being sued by Armenians reveals Nazi connectionBreaking News
The bank held a 26 percent stake in the company, Huta, spokesman Ulrich Porwollik said, confirming a report by the weekly Der Spiegel.
Historians also found that, starting in 1910, officials from the bank repeatedly headed Huta's supervisory board - "also at the relevant time," he added.
Porwollik said Dresdner Bank, now a unit of insurer Allianz AG, tasked historian Klaus-Dietmar Henke and other experts in 1998 with investigating the company's Nazi-era past. The historians were given wide-ranging access to the bank's archives.
Chief executive Herbert Walter said the research showed the bank's history in "an extremely critical light," Der Spiegel reported. "We must face this responsibility," he added.
Porwollik noted that Dresdner was a state-controlled bank at the time.
According to Der Spiegel, Huta built at least two of the crematoria at Auschwitz, located in Nazi-occupied Poland, as well as buildings for accommodation and delousing.
Dresdner Bank plans to present the full results of the historians' research on February 17.

In an initiative to strengthen early phase clinical research in South Korea, Celerion and the Korean Drug Development Fund (KDDF) entered a collaboration providing expertise and support for the emerging drug discovery and development industry in the region.
Companies funded by KDDF will have access to Celerion's experience in early clinical research and bioanalysis, as well as the global footprint of external partner sites. The agreement, in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), will support a sharing of knowledge between KDDF and Celerion, and will focus on developing innovative and efficient ways to bring Korean drug discoveries to the global market. The MOU further enhances both organizations' ability to effectively apply principles of translational medicine to the development of new drugs, according to Celerion.
In March, Celerion announced the expansion of clinical operations to South Korea through a partnership with the Biomedical Research Institute at Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH). Particularly geared toward clinical pharmacology, oncology, and pediatrics, the focus of the new SNUH Clinical Trials Center is translational medicine.
"The KDDF is very happy to have established a partnership with Celerion. This collaboration is aligned to our vision to build effective partnerships between government, industry, and academia," said Dongho Lee M.D., CEO of KDDF. "Together with Celerion, KDDF will be able to provide professional consulting services to the Korean research communities to advance the research activities and promote important innovation."

I need to find solution, for killing all foreign applications, except a list of allowed applications (this is task for our corporate managers with Android tablets).
Now, I killing foreign applications in this way (code works by timer in service, each 2 sec):
if (killThisProcess) {
Log.i("Process to KILL: ", appProcess.processName);
// kill app
This code works, but only when application in background. User can launch application, do something, and only after application will be in background, it will be killed.
How can I kill process, when it in foreground mode, just after launching?

"Whether you are gay, straight, bi, a drag queen or something else entirely, they are just words made up of letters. Nothing more. Nothing less.

-Shuichi Shindou, "Wolfram's Bruise"
You're wrong if you think we aren't people too. I love everybody equally, if only they wouldn't turn a blind eye to our suffering.
I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.
Hatred is like a virus, it taints eveyone around you. Just because we are different, doesn't make us wrong, and we're all perfect in someone's eyes. I have one judge in this world, and I'll meet him someday, but until then, I'm a person who needs love, just like everyone else.

Since 1992, The Bricktown Brewery has been Oklahoma's home for local brew and good times. We have developed and improved those beers over the years and while the main focus has been our own beer, we offer other local brews and traditional customer favorites.
Since 1909, every little drop of Shiner Beer has been brewed at the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas (population 2,069). Today, Our Little brewery sends more than 6 million cases of delicious Shiner beer to states across the country.
Mustang Brewing Company's vision is to be a leading regional craft beer brand by producing consistent, flavorful, easy-drinking beers in an efficient manner.
Here at Left Hand Brewing Company, we sum it up all in one word: balance. Everyday we strive for that perfect balance between malt and hops — from our lightest to our darkest – allowing a unique flavor experience in every bottle. From a golden, crisp Polestar Pilsner to a roasty, black Wake Up Dead Imperial Stout, our balanced portfolio of handcrafted ales & lagers will keep your mind and your palate in a happy state of equilibrium.
When it comes to our beer, we learned over time that simply barrel aging and kegging beer did 2 things. First, it created broad demand for beers from the really cool, but really small brewery located in Nebraska. The second thing that it did for us was to create so much demand that we found ourselves brewing to fill orders instead of brewing to continue the fun we first found when we opened the brewpub.
Anthem Brewing strives to create World Class beers blurring the line between Old World and New.
We are an Oklahoma craft brewing company, offering beers as individual as the people who drink them.

Average hotel close to Times Square.Posted Jul 24, 2016
Pros: Water, pop, and some snacks always available. Nice lobby area.
Cons: Elevators were slow and one seemed to be always shut down for use by the staff for house cleaning.
Location: Times Square, Fifth Ave, Theaters, Restaurants
The room was small (as expected), comfortable bed but old, noisy air conditioner. Liked the coffee maker in the room and nice bathroom.

OK for just a night's stay.Posted Jul 22, 2016
Pros: Wifi was quick and easy
Cons: High speed elevators
Location: Times Square and Bryant Park only a few blocks away.
A convenient hotel close enough to Times Square and Bryant Park. Front Desk is no big deal since it is self check-in from a touch screen. Elevators are a joke - fit no more than 3 people with luggage and are very slow.

Great hotel.Posted Jul 20, 2016
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire stay. The parking option works great and comes at a great bargain. The room was small but was designed/decorated to maximize the space. I would highly recommend this place to friends. The location is good and enables you to easily access any part of the city.

Location: E' superfluo parlare di quello che chiedete per chi conosce N.Y. e per quale ragione vi si re Comunque essere situato sulla 45st. tra la 5° e la 6°
Ho trovato positiva la piccola dimensione che rende vivibile l'albergo. Molto valida l'idea di avere la possibilità di aere bevande calde e fredde a tutte le ore ij maniera self service, unita alla possibilità di alcune cose da mangiare, rapidamente, il fatto che sia un servizio non a pagamento lo fa apprezzare di più.

Guter AufenthaltPosted May 14, 2016
Das Hotel ist sehr zentral gelegen. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein, aber ausreichend. Kleiderkästen gibt es nicht, sondern nur eine kleine Garderobe. Im Badezimmer hat sich etwas Farbe von der Wand gelöst, was aber nicht schlimm ist, es ist halt nicht ganz neu renoviert. Insgesamt war das Zimmer aber sauber und wurde jeden Tag gereinigt. Das gesamte Hotelpersonal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Im Stockwerk und unten in der Lobby gibt es gratis aufbereitetes Wasser, in der Lobby außerdem gratis Kaffee und oft Snacks, Müsliriegel oder Äpfel. Insgesamt kann ich dieses Hotel sehr empfehlen.

6 Best Ways to Support a Loved One Who Has Cancer
Just before my 36th birthday, my world was rocked: I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was successfully treated and expected to remain cancer free, but three years later, my cancer recurred.
Then, just as I was getting a clean bill of health after another round of treatment, my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Now she needed me — and one good thing my cancer gave me was personal experience with how to be there for her.
Three out of four families will see a family member diagnosed with cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. Chances are there'll come a day, if it isn't already here, when you'll wish you knew just what to do to support a loved one with cancer.
We talked to doctors, social workers, patients, survivors and their loved ones to create this list of the most important, meaningful and supportive things you can do to be there for your friend or family member who's been diagnosed with cancer.
1. Help your loved one get the best treatment
"Make sure your loved one gets into good medical care, and not into some crackpot place," says Dr. Barrie Cassileth, chief of the Integrative Cancer Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. "There's a whole world of quackery out there."
Helping the patient get a second opinion and researching treatment options are also part of getting your loved one the best medical care possible. Don't rule out complementary therapies as adjuncts to your loved one's care. Acupuncture, massage therapy, nutritional counseling, yoga, fitness programs, self-hypnosis, guided imagery and meditation help many patients cope with the symptoms of cancer, cancer treatment and its side effects. And many respected integrative cancer programs now offer complementary therapies either on-site or on an outpatient basis.
But understand these therapies do not cure cancer. "It would be foolhardy for someone diagnosed with cancer to go exclusively to an alternative clinic," says Cassileth. "You get one shot at treating cancer effectively. Don't take chances with that."
2. Be truly present
"The major difficulty we find with loved ones and friends and family is that they don't know what to say to people," says Cassileth. "The answer to that is you don't have to worry about what to say; you just have to be there to listen and care."
"Don't try too hard to do or say the 'right' things," says Stacie Beam-Bruce, a social worker at the Seattle Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center. "And don't feel like you have to fix everything for them."
Understand that as much as you would like to — you can't. You can't take away your loved one's diagnosis and you can't endure their treatment for them. But you can help facilitate their healing by offering them emotional, social and spiritual support.
"It was so much better to talk to someone I could just be myself with and not feel like I had to be strong for them," says breast cancer survivor Terry Kais, who was diagnosed in 2004 at age 39. "I just wanted to break down at any moment and didn't want to feel bad about doing it."
"I had no problem crying with my friends and family and being pissed along with them that we had to be going through such a horrible situation," she adds. "Friends and family can never make things okay, but they can help you get through the day by just being with you, letting you cry, and letting you know that you are not alone. I had a sister-in-law who used to call me and ask, 'how are things going down there in Iraq?' It used to crack me up, because it did feel like I was fighting in a war, and I felt like she sort of 'got it' just a little bit."
Sometimes all someone with cancer needs is to sit beside a loved one — someone to listen and talk to her if she can't stand the quiet, hold her hand while she cries, or pray while she prays.
Aimee Chen's best friend Diane also 'got it.' "Diane was with me at every single doctor's appointment," recalls Chen, a breast cancer survivor. "Not just in the waiting room; she was right there in the office. She was my ears, because some days I did not want to hear things. She listened, asked questions and remembered all the things I wanted to ask the doctor. Some days we did not say much to one another on the drive to chemo; other days we laughed. She did not have to do anything special. She was just there by my side."
3. Offer practical (and timely) help
It may help to focus on tangible, everyday things you can do to make things a little easier for your loved one — helping prepare meals, doing the housework, assisting with childcare and/or running errands. This is where the masses come in — everyone will offer help, so give them all something tangible they can do.
If you head to the dry cleaner or grocery store regularly, include your loved one's errands with your own. If you have children the same age, arrange for play dates and/or offer to pick up and drive their child around. Just think about the things that seem like a natural fit with your loved one's needs, and offer that up.
Play on your strengths, too. If you are a natural coordinator, take on the task of assigning meals to all who want to cook for your loved one. Or, if you are a fitness buff, schedule walking buddies for your loved one for each day of the week, or take on that task yourself.
Don't overlook any opportunity to offer support, however small the task may seem. "It shows that your friends really do care for you and want to be there for you," says Cassileth.
Another very thoughtful way to help your friend or family member during this time is to stay on top of what's in their schedule from day to day.
"I had a handful of friends who must have kept my chemo schedule in their calendars," says Chris Maxwell, a finance director in Boulder, Colo., who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 34. "Without any reminders from my end, they either called or I had a card in my mailbox each time I got home from chemo — all 12 treatments. When you are in chemo you feel like the world is moving on without you. You get inundated with attention in the beginning, but it is really toward the end of treatment when you need the most support. It was such an amazing feeling to know that they were mindful of the fact that my fight waged on."
And, yes … do shower your loved one with cards and gifts.
"I used to love receiving the most thoughtful and loving cards," says Kais. "Just knowing someone was thinking of me and praying for me used to give me so much inspiration. Kind, genuine words from someone's heart meant the world to me — they didn't have to be eloquent or upbeat or tell me that I would be 'okay'; it was just so nice to know that someone cared about me and that I was on their mind. Again, it took away the isolation or loneliness that I would feel and helped me realize how much I was loved."
4. Be flexible
It may happen that what you think is best isn't what the patient really wants or needs. "Ask what she needs and be respectful of her wishes. Let her decide what is best in that moment," says Beam-Bruce.
Of course, your loved one may not know what she needs, or her needs may change from day to day. So you may have to figure it out for yourself or pose deliberate questions: Do you want me to come visit you today? Sit with you one night a week? Walk with you after dinner? Take you to a yoga class? Take an online yoga class with you?
"When family members are able to talk to their loved one about how to help, it leaves more time, space and energy for their loved one with cancer to focus on her healing," says Beam-Bruce.
5. Take care of yourself, too
"For those in a supportive role, the most important thing is to be healthy, both physically and emotionally," says Beam-Bruce. "The healthier you are, the better able you are to be fully present and helpful for your loved one, and the better you can help her go through her journey."
That means getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising and taking part in activities that you enjoy. Or personally take part in some of those therapeutic activities. The bonus? You can manage your own symptoms of depression and anxiety that often accompany a loved one's diagnosis. Better yet? "Most of these activities can be done together — enhancing wellness on multiple levels," says Beam-Bruce.
6. Make them laugh
Finally, it sounds cliché, but honestly … laughter really is the best medicine. After my own surgery, my sister had me laughing so hard that I literally thought I would split a stitch. I know I'd have peed my pants, had I not left the hospital with a catheter. It hurt so horribly every time she cracked a joke, but to this day I actually look back on those days with fondness — what positive, special memories I have of that post-op period, thanks to her.
Survivor Sherry Smith agrees. "It was the laughter, the silliness, the keeping things light and 'normal,'" she says. "It allowed me the freedom to just let loose and experience some of the joy that I thought I might never see again. When I would hear myself laughing from somewhere deep within my soul, there was a part of me that said, 'You're going to make it. You're going to do this. You are so loved, and life is just so great even when it's so horrid.'"
Karen Lynch is a freelance writer and journalist, mother, and a two-time breast cancer survivor. She tries to empower patients and survivors through her writing by giving them information about breast cancer.
LISTEN, if I had, to my highly credentialed, well-meaning gynocologist who, after diagnosing me with stage 2 cervical cancer, 12 yrs. ago recommended all sorts of barbaric and life threatening treatments (you would think that they had discovered me to be incredibly chemotherapy deficient the amount they wanted to start pumping into me AFTER they removed all my female organs!), I would not be typing this today nor would I have a wonderful 4 yr. old added to my family of 4 other children.
I said no thanks and called my witch doctor who said, "WHAATTTT??? It's a virus, we know how to deal with viruses!!!" "So have your little cry and then get to work!" She gave me a homeopathic specifically for HPV and also an herbal formula. Within 6 mos., ( I went to my doc every month for biopsies) I was cancer free and still am.
This has been my experience , really, with anything that has plagued me for over 25 yrs. ( and the rest of my family, too) that if I don't " mess around " by using allopathic medicine, I get better. So, to me, "messing around" is ignoring the imbalances the body experiences and go into "attack mode" ...wonder where the leaders of our country get this mentality?!?! rather than strengthening our own natural defenses.
Something else that really should be mentioned is how to cover the costs of medical treatment. My brother was diagnosed with testicular cancer and in addition to the sheer grief, the costs would soon rocket.
As falling ill is not cheap, either the person affected or loved ones need to start thinking about meeting these costs straight away before they interfere with treatment.
If you've got insurance, you MAY be in with a chance. My brother was covered but there will still a ton of out-of-pocket expenses. The next step for us was to find a charity that could help. Although this may have delivered something, it was simply taking too long.
We resorted to fundraising online on a site called causewish and that helps you realize the extent to which people face this issue. We also held a community fundraising event which was really successful as my brother was and is very loved.
Thankfully, we covered the cost but things could have easily gone wrong if we didn't act fast.

Anyone anticipate a large China and india contract now????
And supply will not expand as much as forecast with lower prices. Prices will recover. We may have to be patient, but the world demand for food is constantly increasing. A farm is essentially a factory that processes potassium into food. It is not like steel or copper. It is constantly being consumed to feed the worlds population.
