I am grateful that I found Discovery Yoga! It was a perfect match for me being a reiki master. Very clean and convenient. The rates are great and I will definitely stay there again when in St Augustine! Namaste. Gary Reiki Relaxation Station on FB

I stayed for a weekend away by myself and really enjoyed my stay. Full kitchen available and everything was so clean.

Clean and conveniently located. Plenty of parking and I was able to walk most places I wanted to visit. The free daily yoga class with stay was an awesome bonus. It was a quiet and relaxing stay. Great value if you're traveling alone.

I chose this place because it's a yoga studio also. Peaceful and reasonable. Will stay there again.

Stayed here for the first time as part of a yoga workshop. Reviewed previous visitors' comments and found the place and area to be delightful. The staff and teachers were friendly and accommodating, where they can. Vegan place across the street was very good. Back 40 (for the meat eaters) was another excellent place nearby for lunch. This place is walking distance to Old Town. Lots of fun things to do in town. Remember, this is not a full service hotel. It's part of a school.

I like the former business model of guests being connected to the yoga practice or training at Discovery. I appreciate the need for the new diversification.

I arrived on a Saturday afternoon and stayed until Monday check-out. The room was clean and comfortable. Bathrooms also clean and provided extra toiletries. My only real complaint has to do with another customer staying in the room next to mine who found it perfectly acceptable to be talking LOUDLY on the phone at 7:00 in the morning. This is not Discovery Yoga's fault but it was definitely a disturbance. I would most definitely return! :)

Had the opportunity to share a weekend with Yoga friends and had a wonderful time. The Discovery Yoga Center was truely designed to accommidate all our needs. The Yoga studios were spacious, clean and perfect for our large group. The bedrooms, baths and kitchen were clean and efficient for our stay and great price too! Also, the Center was in walking distance to downtown St.Augustine so we were able to enjoy a day of sightseeing. Right accross the street was a vegitarian resturante that had many taste dishes. Can not wait to plan another healthy and fun weekend with my Yoga friends. Thank you Discover Yoga!

This is more of a hostel situation in an old drafty thin-walled house. It was very cold at night and not enough blankets helped (I wore a hat). Noise travels clearly throughout the house so voices and banging around in the shared kitchen and baths kept me awake. On top of this, there is a train very nearby that runs several times each night! The shared kitchen is the only common area and is tiny. I would not recommend this place, especially since you can go down the street and stay in a hotel for very little more money.
Risposta del proprietario
Thank you for your feedback. Please understand that this is yoga center & hostel, not a hotel. As you said, there are plenty of hotels down the street if that's what you're looking for. But the prices will be quite a bit higher, and rooms may be hard to find at certain times of year. In shared-living situations like this, communication is important. We had a full-house that weekend, and the guests who were socializing in the kitchen told me they would have been happy to move their conversation elsewhere if they had known they were disturbing anyone. The building is not a broken-down old house. It is a beautifully restored 100-year-old former store & boarding house. The walls are newly insulated, and we have central air and heat with thermostats that are easy to operate. We provide extra blankets in every room, and there are always 25-30 more blankets downstairs in the main yoga studio, and more in our meditation room. Discovery Yoga Center is a place where like-minded people can get together, enjoy some great yoga and explore the old city of St. Augustine.

Things are shaking up on the Dancing with the Stars judges' panel.
Julianne Hough – who served as a judge on seasons 19, 20 and 21 – will not be returning to the panel for the next season of the reality dance competition.
"I will miss being on the panel for Season 22, but have a lot of exciting stuff coming that I look forward to sharing," the former DWTS champion, 27, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "The pro dancers, producers and crew at DWTS will always be my family."
Instead, judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tolioni will once again be joined by Len Goodman, who took last season off because of other filming commitments.
But this latest news doesn't mean DWTS fans have to say goodbye to Hough completely.
"Julianne will always be a part of the Dancing with the Stars family and we hope to see her back in the ballroom in the future," producer Rob Wade tells PEOPLE.
And it sounds like the feeling is mutual.
"I promise it's not the last you'll see of me in the ballroom," says Hough.
Season 22 of Dancing with the Stars is slated to premiere March 21 on ABC.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Kenneth Starr is remembered as the dogged special prosecutor who presided over the Whitewater investigation. Johnnie Cochran is the defense attorney whose successes include acquittals of O.J. Simpson and Sean "Puffy" Combs.
On Tuesday, the two celebrity lawyers will share a table in District of Columbia Superior Court to defend a radio talk show host, a minister-lawmaker and a former aide to President Reagan on a misdemeanor charge.
The three are accused of illegal entry in connection with an April 13 incident at the Sudanese Embassy. They handcuffed themselves to the entrance of the diplomatic mission to protest civil war and famines that have claimed 2 million lives since 1983.
"This is a holocaust going on, and decent people don't sit out holocausts," said Michael J. Horowitz, 63, the former Reagan staffer.
Horowitz and his co-defendants want the Bush administration to appoint a special envoy to force changes in Sudanese government policies they describe as genocide and enslavement targeting animal worshippers and Christians.
southern region of the north African nation.
Cochran will represent Horowitz, while Starr will represent talk show host Joe Madison and the Rev. Walter Fauntroy, a Baptist minister and the District of Columbia's former delegate to Congress. All have said they plan to plead innocent.
Convictions on the charges carry penalties of up to six months in jail.

TRAPS N' GEMSTONES is an adventurous platform game, among gamers typically known as the "Metroidvania" genre, from Donut Games, the developer behind chart-toppers Traffic Rush, Sunday Lawn, the "Rat On A" series and many others.
Precious relics have suddenly started to disappear from a well-hid pyramid that has been guarded by Bedouins for generations, who claim to have spotted an unknown perpetrator.
As a freelance archaeologist and expert on ancient explorations, you've been secretly called in to Egypt to help them solve the mystery.
Arriving at the pyramid's entrance empty handed, your journey starts off by searching some well-known chambers for items and weapons to help you on your quest.
But as you get deeper into the pyramid, you begin to realize that this mystery will require more than just a whip, a sharp mind and a good amount of explosives to unravel.

Customer Reviews
Best Platformer!!
I've been a fan of Donut Games since they started coming out for my iPhone 3G way back in 2008. They are a great company and the games were wonderful for the older devices, but get pretty boringly repetitive nowadays. Traps fixes all the single plot issues and brings many different elements into this game. With the game controller support (have the SteelSeries Stratus), it makes the game perfect for what it's going for. If you're looking super flashy guns and fights this ISN'T it but if you're looking for a nice platform with more than one twist and turn, this is the game for you. $5 is pittance for a developer that's been around since the App Store opened and continues to release new games and updates the old ones. Please get this game; you WON'T regret it! Thank you again Donut for your best game yet!!!
Fantastic Metroidvania style game
While the graphics are on par with 16-bit the animations are a little stiff. That aside this game was incredibly fun reminding me of Metroid meets Spelunker with a little Pharaoh's Curse. Played with an external controller and it's even better. Because you respawn on the same screen you die the game is pretty easy, but that's not really what this is about. It's about exploration of the Pyramid and finding the missing idols within the maze.
Not worth it for the price
Definitely one of my favorites, because I never have many games on my iPhone at once, and this one stayed on for quite a while. I enjoyed it a lot, and i definitely would buy a second one if they made it, but there is one problem: the price. If it was a lot cheaper (even free) then I would definitely got it. It was much like the old school metroid games, which were really good.

Bringing Leased Assets onto the Balance Sheet

Pennsylvania State University
June 15, 2013
Journal of Corporate Finance 22, 345-360.
Pending changes in lease accounting standards will require firms to recognize obligations that have historically been kept off-balance-sheet (OBS). We examine the implications of this accounting treatment for a host of common risk and performance metrics. Conventional leverage, Z-Score, levered beta, return on capital and other asset utilization measures underestimate risk and overstate performance of firms relying heavily on OBS leasing. The distortion affects relative rankings as well as average levels and has increased over time. Proposed changes in reporting standards aim to mitigate future distortion, but necessitate adjustments for time-series comparisons. Under current reporting standards, investors, analysts, and researchers can estimate leased asset value and adjust accounting-based metrics to better reflect these fixed costs.

History group seeks new building
ST. JOHNSBURY A history group in the Vermont town of St. Johnsbury is looking for a home and the money to pay for it.
The St. Johnsbury History and Heritage Center needs space to establish a museum of local artifacts that are being discarded by the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium.
The history center had been ready to use the towns former armory on Main Street, but officials backed away from the deal because of concerns about the presence of toxic chemicals and a lack of grants to fix the problem.
Now the nonprofit is seeking a building and $250,000 in donations from 250 donors.

Emergency Medical Technician
Career Outlook
Salaries & Wages:
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) is an entry-level position. Salaries for EMTs in private companies range from $30,000 to $50,000 per year. EMTs can continue their education and advance to Paramedic. Paramedic salaries range from $50,000 in private industry to $100,000 or more in public services.
According to the Bureau of Employment and Labor Statistics from January 2014, employment of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics is projected to grow 23 percent from 2012 to 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations.
Career Advancement Opportunities:
EMTs can pursue advanced training to become Paramedics after six months of full-time experience (1200 hours minimum; some 911 experience preferred ). Paramedics may choose private ambulance service or transition into the fire department as a Fire Fighter Paramedic. Additionally, there are other venues that utilize EMS employees – please see our Links section below.
Personal and Technical Characteristics
All healthcare careers require people with strong communication skills, an interest in and knowledge of human sciences, and an ability to perform a variety of specialized skills. Individuals must be able to work independently, work well in teams, and manage many tasks at the same time.
Employer Preferences:
In today's healthcare system, which serves many cultures, bilingual and culturally sensitive employees are highly valued. Employers also seek individuals who understand the needs of patients and who provide a high quality of customer service. Reliability and dedication are two important personal characteristics required by employers.
* Note regarding professional appearance : Employers in EMS, fire departments or law enforcement do not look upon recent trends in "body art" and piercings favorably. If you are seeking a career in these fields we would recommend against acquiring visible tattoos. Additionally, ear piercings on male candidates and multiple ear piercings on female candidates are discouraged by most employers, as well as "non-standard" facial piercings (nose, eyebrow, lip, etc).

Iraq Timeline: The "Next Few Months" Are Now
The House Committee on Armed Services is meeting today to consider "what's next for Iraq." Many military and government officials appear to believe the answer to that question should be "more of the same"—a disastrous status quo.
Throughout this past spring and summer, supporters of the war claimed that September would be the time to evaluate whether the troop escalation was improving the situation on the ground. Progress would be seen in "the next few months, in September," they said.
Now that September's here and mounting evidence—including recent reports from military professionals, the U.S. intelligence community, and the Government Accountability Office—shows little to no progress in Iraq, war supporters are calling for a next "next few months." Scroll through the timeline below to see the broken record for yourself, going all the way back to 2003.

Out of band / batch deduplication is deduplication done outside of the write path. We've sometimes called it offline deduplication, but that can confuse people: btrfs dedup involves the kernel and always happens on mounted filesystems. To use out-of-band deduplication, you run a tool which searches your filesystem for identical blocks, and then deduplicates them.
From the README for duperemove:
Duperemove is a simple tool for finding duplicated extents and submitting them for deduplication. When given a list of files it will hash their contents on a block by block basis and compare those hashes to each other, finding and categorizing extents that match each other. When given the -d option, duperemove will submit those extents for deduplication using the btrfs-extent-same ioctl.
This tool finds and lists duplicate extents, and optionally will submit the duplicates to the kernel for deduplication.
bedup implements incremental whole-file batch deduplication for Btrfs.
bedup supports mainline kernels (Linux 3.3 is required by the file locking implementation, 3.6 is required for cross-subvolume operation), using the clone ioctl (which exposes Btrfs's copy-on-write functionality).
An ioctl dedicated to batch deduplication was merged in Linux 3.12. It brings in-kernel locking (btrfs guarantees that the deduplicated data is identical without the need for outside locks), better support for read-only snapshots, and retains the features and much of the implementation of the clone ioctl. There is an experimental bedup branch using the new ioctl, but it is not the default because it can trigger kernel crashes as of Linux 4.2.
Inband / synchronous / inline deduplication is deduplication done in the write path, so it happens as data is written to the filesystem. This typically requires large amounts of RAM to store the lookup table of known block hashes. Patches are currently being worked on.

BRIAN FROUD signs GOBLINS! at the Forbidden Planet London Megastore on Thursday 3rd December from 6:00 – 7:00 PM!
The bestselling team of artist Brian Froud and scholar Ari Berk have continued their exploration of the goblin realm, with a new and noxious version of the world-famous Goblins. For the uninformed, goblins are those maleficent creatures who cause all manner of havoc in the human realm. Now, thanks largely to Froud's and Berk's continuing carelessness, the viscid and largely nonsensical NEW volume has been unleashed on an unsuspecting public.
Among its pages are new letters of apologies and disclaimers complete with new, never-before-seen goblin art; a list of Gargle's new titles, grants, entitlements, and responsibilities; and, sadly, much more! Also included is an envelope containing a new talisman that is guaranteed to ward off goblins.
Brian Froud is an award-winning illustrator, author, and faery authority. With his wife, Wendy, he has written Brian Froud's Faeries' Tales and Trolls. He is also the author of The World of the Dark Crystal and The Goblins of Labyrinth. He lives in Devon, England.

Comments Off on UK – Trolls Signing
BRIAN FROUD signs at the Forbidden Planet London Megastore on Thursday 13th September from 6 – 7pm.
Brian Froud's TROLLS reveals the past, present and future of these magical creatures through images, tales, mythology and archaeology. It presents strong, individual, heroic characters and reveals troll philosophy and wisdom with contemporary relevance. Most important, Trolls is bound together with a compelling narrative: a central story that affirms that trolls are real; have lived and are living now. Trolls features new and classic 2D and 3D work by both Brian and Wendy that are woven together with troll "artifacts" and symbols and the natural world to create a fascinating revelation of the world of trolls. Brian's images are deeply immersive, even cinematic at times; Trolls draws the viewer in the texture of the world and its stories characters born of lichened rocks, twisted trees, rainbowed waterfalls and shadowy thickets.
For over thirty years, Brian Froud has been regarded as the pre-eminent faerie artist in the world. His numerous international best-selling books are considered modern classics. He has worked with Jim Henson as conceptual designer on the feature films The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth as well as other Henson projects.

My aforementioned grandparents on my dad???s side are great cooks. They???re Italian, so of course they make great pasta dishes and a delicious secret marinara sauce (referred to as ???gravy???). Most of their Italian recipes take time and effort to prepare, so they don???t exactly fit the bill as easy recipes, but my grandpa, Papa Tito, gave me a great easy salmon recipe he came up with. This recipe was actually one of the first to convince me that I could make great meals without spending hours cooking.
The only thing that freaked me out when I made this dish the first time was that the skin was unexpectedly still on the bottom side of the salmon. I was so disgusted when I picked it up that I almost dropped the fish on the floor. Papa Tito recommends getting frozen filets. That way there???s (usually) no skin, it???s cheaper and you can just store it in the freezer until you???re ready to make it.
Note that this meal, according to my grandma, "is a tangy meal." (a.k.a. spicy) I'm a wimp, so I usually use plain diced tomatoes instead of tomatoes with green chiles. If you like a little kick you will love it with the chiles though. My grandparents can't get enough of the chile version. You can also add some steamed veggies (microwave them first) to the pan 10 minutes in to the cooking time to have your entire meal in 20 minutes. Wow-a-weewa.

Berto-K9 Likely, But Tim Bradley is Still a Possibility
By Rick Reeno
Richard Schaefer, CEO for Golden Boy Promotions, has advised BoxingScene.com that former welterweight champion Andre Berto (28-1, 22KOs) is going to take the best opportunity possible.
Berto, who now appears to be working with Golden Boy, has several possible options for his next fight.
One of those options is a potential fight with WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley - who is scheduled to return on December 15th on HBO. The return is taking place at Marlins Stadium in Miami, Florida. Bradley is an option if a substantial offer falls on the table.
The other option, and what sources indicate is the likely direction, is a move in weight for the opportunity to become a two-division champion by challenging IBF king Cornelius "K9" Bundrage on November 24th.
According to Schaefer, the lightweight battle between Sharif Bogere and Richard Abril - for the the vacant WBA world championship - is going to take place on HBO on November 24. If the fight between Berto and K9 moves forward, it will likely get paired with Abril-Bogere.
Schaefer is going to sit back and allow things to play out for the next couple of days - and then an official decision will be made on Berto's next fight. However, he does consider a fight between Berto and K9 to be a high-stakes battle. The winner would have an assortment of options, including WBC 154-pound champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and the winner of December's fight between Miguel Cotto and Austin Trout.
"Let's have things play out the way they will. Andre Berto is a terrific fighter and has many different opportunities. He is willing to fight anyone and will be looking at what fight makes the most sense for him. I believe that this entire situation will be sorted out in the coming days. One thing which is for sure that Andre Berto will be fighting this year in a very meaningful fight. K9 Bundrage is a world champion and will be defending his title. He has earned his spot and he has earned to be in a big fight," Schaefer told BoxingScene.com.
If Andre Berto becomes a two weight world Champion then that pretty much tells you in black and white that belts are as close to meaningless as it gets.Comment by Light_Speed on 09-29-2012

MOUNT PLEASANT - Kim Brown lives in the East Cooper countryside with six dogs, four cats and 52 chickens.
She and her husband Arthur like it that way.
So when Charleston County began tinkering a bit with the Urban Growth Boundary she worried about city rules coming to the two acres she calls home. It's the sort of thing that drove her away from Sullivan's Island.
"That, and you couldn't whistle," she said, referring to one of the quirkier aspects of island ordinances governing public behavior.
The county is reviewing and revising the location of the urban boundary for consistency with the City of Charleston and the Town of Mount Pleasant. The City of North Charleston does not have an Urban Growth Boundary. The idea of such coordination between jurisdictions is to follow parcel boundaries and geographic features where possible, said county Planning Director Dan Pennick.
Currently, areas such as Sol Legare Road on James Island are in the urban boundary within the county, but in the City of Charleston the location is considered rural, Pennick said.
At a county Planning Department public workshop on Thursday night at Wando High School, Brown eyed a map to get a better idea of where her property stood in relation to the urban boundary. The event was the last of a series of meetings that the department held to get feedback from the public on a five-year update to the Comprehensive Plan, which guides development.
Brown said that it was worrisome when a sprawling residential development began building near her home about a mile north of the high school off U.S. 17. She wants to keep that kind of progress away.
"I just feel like it's going to ooze out," she said of the creeping sprawl.
Defining the urban boundary has led to some spirited discussions, said County Councilman Herb Sass.
"There are some areas where the Urban Growth Boundary is more controversial than others, like John's Island," Sass said.
Being within the urban boundary matters when it comes to developing infrastructure such as water and sewer service, and having conveniences such as a corner store, Pennick said.
"Our area is changing all the time. How do we accommodate that change and manage it so that it doesn't overwhelm us?" Pennick said.
The new, proposed urban boundary has revisions that officials described as minor that were recommended by the county Planning Commission.
The Planning Department staff will take input received from the public back to the Commission in September. The Commission will recommend changes to County Council at a hearing in October, Pennick said.
Copies of the draft Comprehensive Plan are available for viewing at www.charlestoncounty.org, where comments are being accepted until July 15.

Noboby knows at this point but you're not alone.But I hope you diversifyyour holdings.I have read about holding and reinvesting dividend paying stocks .In the long run the dividend stock holder should do about as well as the traders.At this point I just hope what I've read was correct . Since I'm not to bright and wanted to diversify,I bought many stocks instead of just 10 stocks.I'm in the red at this time .But hope to be ahead in the long run.I hope the stocks that make it, make up for the ones that don't in these times.My stocks are as follows:ACAS, AEE, ARLP, BAC, BMY, C, CHKE ,CLMT, CPNO, DFR, DSX ,EDE, EPD ,FUN ,JRT, , MCGC , MIC ,MMP, NAT, NRGY ,PCU, PFE , PGN, SFI ,T ,TEG ,VGR, Best of luck to all.

'American Scenery" sounds like a bland title for an exhibition of landscapes, but don't be misled. This show of 116 paintings at the Reading Public Museum is exceptional - perhaps even extraordinary - for several reasons.
First, the rest of the title, "Different Views in Hudson River School Painting," alludes to an important and insufficiently appreciated fact about America's first native-born art movement - that many of its artists recorded their favorite subjects again and again, under varying circumstances according to time of day, season of the year, and changing weather.
This practice produced a lot of pendant paintings - for instance, Wissahickon Creek in spring and autumn by Daniel Charles Gorse - and even more extended series.

Algieri Admits Mayweather Would Logically Be Next
By Bill "Two Scoops" Emes
WBO junior welterweight champion Chris Algieri (20-0, 8KOs) started the year with an ESPN Friday Night Fights showcase, winning a decision over Emanuel Taylor. He made his debut on HBO in June, winning an upset split decision over heavily Ruslan Provodnikov to capture the WBO crown. And now he returns to the ring on November 22nd in Macau, when he faces superstar Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38KOs) for the WBO welterweight crown on HBO Pay-Per-View.
If Algieri pulls of another shocking upset, by defeating one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world - there is only challenge left, he admits, and that's WBC/WBA welterweight and junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26KOs) [provided he defeats Marcos Maidana on September 13].
"I'm looking to shock the world twice this year," Algieri told BoxingScene.com. "[Mayweather] is where we're looking at [after Pacquiao], of course. I don't want to look past Manny, but like you said there's no other fight [other than Mayweather] after that."
[QUOTE=hectari;14782926]Pacman is no where near the pressure fighter Ruslan is and Pac hits like a baby compared to Ruslan's massive crushing power, Pac will not drop or stop Chris, he will barely even touch him watch the Mosley fight, Mosley…Comment by hectari on 07-21-2014

"I'm excited," Boller said. "Coach Billick has been a big supporter of mine. I
think it's great for the entire organization.
"Brian has been behind me through everything, and there are a lot of coaches who wouldn't do that. They would have given up on me and not given me a chance. For him to show that [loyalty] to me means everything."
Boller completed 70 percent of his passes for 542 yards, six touchdowns and one interception with a cumulative 123.8 quarterback rating in consecutive wins over Green Bay and Minnesota.
In his first six starts this season, Boller converted 57.7 percent of his throws and averaged 184.3 yards per game. He threw five touchdown passes and was intercepted nine times for a 63.0 quarterback rating.
His recent improvement hasn't earned him an endorsement as the starter for next season with Billick stating that the Ravens plan to augment the position with a veteran quarterback as either a backup or potential competition for the job.
"Personally, I believe I will be the starter," Boller said. "I think I'm a good quarterback and that I'll be able to compete with anybody they bring in here. Right now, I'm not concerned with it. I'm the starting quarterback for this team."
STRONG IMPRESSION: Several players stated appreciation that owner Steve Bisciotti personally informed them Wednesday morning of his decision to retain Billick for next season.
"That just shows the great respect he has for us, and it's respect back to him," linebacker Bart Scott said. "He does things that other owners don't do.
"That makes you feel important that he's man enough to come out and tell us how it is instead of hearing it on the news. We respect that he lets us be the first one to find out about our future."
Bisciotti met with players and coaches for roughly 15 minutes along with general manager Ozzie Newsome.
"Him making an announcement to us as players first shows that he really cares about the continuity, the feelings that we feel toward each other as a player and as the owner," offensive guard Edwin Mulitalo said. "When you look at the NFL, you don't think about owners talking to players. I was impressed."
STAR TREATMENT: Defensive end Tony Weaver said he has no problems with the Ravens giving special treatment to star players.
Over the past two years, many so-called blue-collar players have griped privately about the disparity between them and the high-rent district occupied by standouts like injured middle linebacker Ray Lewis.
"I don't get upset about it," Weaver said. "There are certain players that are at an elite level and you have to respect what they receive. You can't treat everybody the same. You'll be treated fairly, but not everybody will be treated the same and that's just the way it is."
R. LEWIS UPDATE: Lewis, who underwent hamstring surgery in Miami earlier this month, attended a bowl game Tuesday in Orlando, Fla., along with his children.
Billick said last week that Lewis, who hasn't attended the past few games or been at the team's training complex since the surgery, wasn't traveling because doctors feared possible infection.
"It's been tough on him being detached like this," Billick said. "He's in rehab. That doesn't mean that the man is in a monastery and locked up behind a guard. He is down in Florida doing what he ought to be doing with regard to rehabbing and getting started for the offseason."
TRAINING ROOM: The Ravens expect return specialist B.J. Sams (knee) to be available Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, although he is listed as questionable.
Tight end Daniel Wilcox (ankle) is listed as doubtful along with linebacker Mike Smith (hamstring), but Billick indicated Wilcox won't play.
Center Mike Flynn (ankle), offensive guard Edwin Mulitalo (knee) and cornerback Chris McAlister (shoulder) are considered probable and practiced.
QUICK HITS: Weaver, who will be an unrestricted free agent after this season, said there will be no hard feelings whether he's back in Baltimore or playing elsewhere. … Linebacker Peter Boulware said he hasn't decided if he'll return or if he'll retire.

About Us
The Garden History Society (GHS) was the oldest society in the world dedicated to the conservation and study of historic designed gardens and landscapes. Through our interventions, advice and casework we have helped save or conserve scores of important gardens since our foundation in 1965.
We are now called The Gardens Trust. We have now (on 24 July 2015) merged with our sister organisation the Association of Gardens Trusts, representing the counties of England and Wales. You can read more about this momentous event here. This website will remain in place for the immediate future, but we will be migrating the content from both organisations to our new website in due course.
We now represent the voices of some 8,000 people, worldwide, in the combined organisation. As the only UK charity in the heritage 'sector' to have been granted a statutory role by government, our conservation team, working closely with our county gardens trust colleagues, now assesses all planning applications related to registered gardens and landscapes in England and Wales.
We will continue to institute campaigns and lobby government at all levels on issues relating to historic gardens. We have an active membership and an exciting programme of events, including numerous foreign trips, and will continue to publish the twice-yearly Garden History, the foremost international journal on the subject.
We are, however, completely dependent on membership for our continued existence as a charity. If The Gardens Trust did not exist, historic gardens and landscapes would be left unprotected, and there would be no focus for international research and scholarship. So if you love historic gardens, please consider joining us today (full membership is just £35 per year) and help make a real difference to our natural and historical environment.
The main aims of the newly formed Trust are:
- To speak with a more powerful voice for the protection of parks, gardens and designed landscape;
- To play a key garden conservation role in the planning system as a statutory consultee;
- To provide support to strengthen the local activity of the County and Country Gardens Trusts;
- To be an internationally regarded centre of excellence in the study of garden history;
- To live within the means of the merged organisation and be financially sustainable over the long term.
The GHS was widely recognised for its expertise and advice, and the newly formed trust will continue this role. Our professionally qualified conservation officers are consulted by Government agencies, local authorities and others on a wide range of issues affecting historic parks and gardens, especially those listed in the English and Welsh Registers, and in the Scottish Inventory.
The trust is a registered charity that works through an elected Board of Directors and committees. Its employees work from a small office in London.

Phenomenal location and nice rooms offered for families travelling with kids. The staff could have been more helpful at times. We had a couple difficult conversations while speaking English with the reception staff, but the location and comfort of the room would being us back.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
WE have stayed at this Citadines twice now - and I have to say that the location is unbelievable. Located on Northumberland Avenue, you are situated:
1. between Embankment and Charing Cross tube stations.
2. Next door is the Sherlock Holmes Pub (great for an easy fish and chips),
3. about 150 metres up the road is Trafalgar Square, The Portrait Gallery and the National Gallery.
4. Just behind the Portrait Gallery is where you can pick up your Pond Passes (and book other tours of London and its surrounds)
5. And about another 500 metres is Leicester Square (half price ticket booths as well as some of the West End theatres).
6. In the other direction, it takes about 5minutes to walk to the Thames, where you can see the London Eye
7. And if you are keen, it only takes about 10-15 minutes to cross the bridge and see Westminster and Big Ben in person.
I could go on - but truly, this location is fabulous.
The rooms itself - well there is one bedroom with a queen sized bed, a decent bathroom and a separate toilet. There are also two fold out beds under the lounge (yes there is a lounge/kitchen/.dining area, complete with hot plate, fridge, sink, crockery/cutlery and a dishwasher).
There is also free WiFi available 24/7, although sometimes its a big hard to get a stable connection.
Breakfast is also available (for an extra cost - I think 10 pound per person/day). But there are two coffee machines in the lobby area where any guest can make their own coffee/tea. Perfect for a take out caffeine fix before a big day in the city.

Historical Traveler Reviews Citadines Prestige Trafalgar Square London
Ideal for a family visiting London
Our family of 4 stayed in a one-bedroom appartment here in Janury 2004.We found it quiet, clean and equipped to a very high standard. Having 2 young children, it was great having a separate bedroom for them - we find it impossible to get them to sleep if we are all sharing one room.Breakfast is available at £9 per head, but there is a small supermarket very nearby and with a well equipped kitchen we found making breakfast the easiest option for our family.Location could not be more central - trafalgar square at the end of the street, and the bridge over to the London Eye at the other end. Just round the corner from Embankment Tube station and an easy walk to Covent Garden.I can't think of a single negative aspect of our stay and would definitely recommend it.Not as cheap as a large family room in another hotel, but definitely worth it for the space, facilities and a decent nights' sleep without having to share with the kids!
Great rate/location
I stayed here during the first week of January 2003. The hotel was reasonably priced at around $125 US.... the room had a pull-out couch to sleep on, and a very small kitchen complete with all the basic items to use when cooking. the lobby was bright and welcoming and included a computer for public internet use. the hotel seemed like apartments which would be great for business travellers looking for a place that feels like home, or for anybody looking for a good location at a great price.
Amazing location with great value and comfort!
My family of 3 stayed very comfortably in a studio apartment over Christmas. The room was clean, brightly lit, well decorated, and had just the right amount of furniture. We paid 12 pounds a night for an extra bed for our son and it fit nicely at the foot of the sofabed.
The location is unbeatable: half a block from Trafalgar Square, a reasonable walk to Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, COvent Garden, the palace, and shopping on Regent Street.
The staff was responsive, but there is no concierge service. We have stayed in London so many times that we did not need a concierge.
Having the kitchen was an amazing cost savings, since we prepared breakfast and dinner for ourselves. There was a nice 2 burner electric stove, microwave, dishwasher (!), and electric kettle. We shopped at a nearby Tesco (10 minutes) and the Covent Garden Marks&Spencers (15min)
We will definitely stay here again on future visits to London!
Best location in London!
Spent 2 weeks here in November 2003 and loved it. We had the one-bedroom apartment--costs a little more than the studio, but it was well worth it in terms of added space. The bed was comfortable, and the hotel was VERY quiet. Only 100 yards to the Embankment tube station, which is convenient, as it's on the Circle and District Lines.
Everything we needed was included in the apartment, for example, a fully equipped kitchen and TV/CD player. Because we stayed 2 weeks, the on-site laundry was a great plus. Internet access was free and located in the lobby. The best part of this location was the brief walk to Trafalgar Square and St. Martin's Cafe in the Crypt for lunch or dinner, (also free lunchtime concerts).
One of the best
Stayed here over a weekend in December 2003. It was a truely lovely place. We were very impressed by it's convenience as well as it's size, cleanliness, facilities, equipment etc etc. We had a twin studio which had sofa bed which was comfortable, a very well equipped kitchen with fridge & dishwasher. I clean and fairly spacious bathroom. We were also very impressed with the CD player we had in the room!! It's a great place, one side the Thames and the other Trafalgar Sq. Only 10 mins walk (if that) to Leics Sq/Piccadilly Circus therefore no taxis were needed on a night out!! Well worth spending that little bit extra to save a bit on taxi fare and it is also covered by some main underground lines!!! We'll definitely be back @ Citadines again - hopefully sooner than we think!!!
Orion's an Excellent Choice
The Omni is in a terrific location, within walking distance of many London sites and also near a tube station for those longer trips.
Variety of rooms but I had a studio both times and really valued the small but fully equipped kitchen. A convenience store about half a block away has breakfast snacks, coffee, tea, drinks, etc., and it's great to be able to store some food in the small fridge for those late-night snacks or to get you started in the morning. The nearby Sherlock Holmes has excellent pub food and interesting, friendly clientele who are always willing to talk to and help a visitor.
Citadines, exceptionally clean and quiet !
Stayed for one week at this hotel with extremely large clean rooms, very helpful and friendly staff. Bathrooms and kitchenettes superbly good and outstanding value - and very quiet. Walking distance to museums, great restaurants and entertainment area. Exceptionally good value. Will definitely stay there again!
Great Bargain!
Citadines Trafalgar was recently remodeled, and met all of our needs. Each room includes a tidy, fully equiped kitchen. Location could not be better- central to everything. Service was good, although there is not any maid service due to the "apartment" nature of the hotel.
Great location, nice hotel, lovely price
I recently spent 3 days in London and stayed at the Citadines Trafalgar Square. It's literally down the block from Trafalgar Square and close to the Thames and London Eye as well. Wonderful location!The hotel was clean and the rooms were comfortable. My sister and I had a studio apartment with a couch bed and another pull-out bed. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and other cooking and eating utensils and had all you needed to get by. Not much space to eat in the room though...Overall a really nice place to stay. If you're travelling on a budget I definitely recommend this hotel.
Convenient, clean, close to tube
...and all transportation. Grocery store near. Also the Sherlock Holmes Pub was next door. If you like to feed the pigeons, trafalgar squatre has thousands of the hungry critters. gem of a place to stay. It's near charing cross and the embanmkment and close to all the downtown action. The rooms are clean and offer a small kitchen. We have stayed there 2 times before.

Europe was a nice, quick ride, taking 2.5 hours on Eurostar, a speed train with a few extra bells and whistles, nicer than any of our other trains.

Delnaaz happy being friends with ex husband Rajeev Paul
Film and television actress Delnaaz Irani, who was not on talking terms with her ex-husband Rajeev Paul before entering the 'Bigg Boss 6' house, is happy to be friends with him and thanks the reality show for bridging the communication gap.
"Even though we are not leaving the show as a couple, I am glad we are friends," she said in a press interaction held Thursday inside the 'Bigg Boss' house here.
Quite true to its tagline "alag chhe (it`s different)", the inmates of the sixth season were allowed to interact with media during the show, something never seen in the earlier five seasons.
After staying married for 14 years, Delnaaz and Rajeev got divorced last year. She revealed that she experienced mixed feelings when she met him on the show.
"I had a hint that Rajeev might be part of the show. I had mixed feelings when I saw him. I was shocked, took a step back and then smiled when I saw him," she said.
In the 'Bigg Boss' house, Rajeev has been romantically linked to his co-inmate, actress Sana Khan.
When asked if she had any issues with that, Delnaaz said: "I have no jealousy. In fact, I am happy. I told Rajeev that from my side there is closure. We didn`t used to even talk before this (the show)."
"He is a wonderful human being and very caring. I have always asked him to move on and I would be happy if he does," she added.
The finale of the show, which went on air on Colors in October last year, is said to be Jan 12 and the winner will reportedly take home Rs.50 lakh.
'Bigg Boss 6', being hosted by Salman Khan, kicked off with 15 contestants and right now Delnaaz is inside the house along with Rajeev, Urvashi Dholakia, Sana Khan, Sapna Bhavnani, Imam Siddique and model Niketan Madhok.
Delnaaz is nominated this week and if she survives eviction Friday, she will be in the finale along with Niketan, who is the first to enter the finals.

WASHINGTON - By a 62-37 vote on Apr. 25, the Senate approved a modified postal "reform" bill, S1789. Union leaders called it an improvement over the original version, but say it doesn't go far enough in relieving the U.S. Postal Service of the onerous financial weight the agency labors under - weight that led postal officials to plan to fire more than 100,000 workers, let another 100,000 go by attrition, and kill Saturday delivery, among other measures.
"Keep your chins up, brothers and sisters; this fight is far from over," said Letter Carriers President Fredric Rolando after the final vote. The NALC led mass public mobilization for alternatives to S1789, and the Mail Handlers - a Laborers sector - also fought the original bill, as did the Postal Workers (APWU).
The battle over the future of the Postal Service now moves to the GOP-run House, where anti-worker Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chair of the panel that oversees the USPS, has so far unsuccessfully pushed his own "reform" legislation. Issa would impose a financial dictator or board on the agency that could unilaterally raise rates, close post offices, fire workers, and tear up the postal unions' contracts.
Before finally passing S1789, senators changed some of its key provisions, moving it closer to an alternative the unions backed, offered by Sen. Bernie Sanders, Ind.-Vt. One new section delays elimination of Saturday delivery for two years and then allows it only if other measures to make the USPS profitable fail. Other changes inserted into S1789 included:
- Retaining overnight delivery standards for first-class mail for much of the country. USPS wanted to dump all overnight delivery standards and use that to close 252 processing centers, half of those functioning. The closures are delayed, too.
- Establishing an independent commission to suggest new business areas the USPS can enter to help it make money.
- Returning $11 billion in pension money USPS overpaid into the Treasury in the past years, and a reduction in the agency's annual pre-payment for future retirees' health care costs. A GOP-run Congress in 2006 imposed that $5.5 billion yearly pre-payment at the behest of then-President George W. Bush. Without it, the NALC contends, the postal service would have virtually broken even, despite the recession and the inroads of the Internet.
- Banning closure of post offices in areas without significant broadband access to the Internet or where the closure would harm small businesses or prevent seniors from getting prescription drugs.
All those measures led Sanders to eventually vote for the rewritten S1789, as did other members of his coalition that battled for the workers' positions. Lawmakers also had to fend off several anti-worker GOP moves:
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kent., tried to completely ban collective bargaining for any USPS employees, thus immediately killing the unions' contracts. He lost 76-23. All 23 Paul supporters were Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kent., and former GOP presidential nominee John McCain, R-Ariz.
Tea party leader Sen. James DeMint, R-S.C., tried to insert a "paycheck protection" provision into the bill, throwing unionists out of politics, just as tea partiers and their radical right allies have done in several states. DeMint lost on a 53-46 party-line vote, with all the Republicans supporting his stand.
Despite the changes, the union leaders said the rewritten S1789 does not go far enough to solve the USPS' woes.
Rolando gave full credit to Sanders for leading the fight for workers within the Senate, then pivoted. "Despite the truly regressive nature of the House Republican bill, HR 2309, the NALC's top priorities-preserving six-day delivery and fixing the pension and health care funding provisions-have a lot of bi-partisan support" there, he said.
Rolando promised NALC would conduct "a spirited campaign" for those sections in particular and the Senate bill in general when the GOP-run House tackles the postal service's future. He added the union's drive would continue when bargainers from both houses of Congress eventually meet to hammer out a final version of the legislation. "A majority of representatives support both six-day service and pension equity," Rolando pointed out.
"I want to thank the thousands of Letter Carriers who joined together to lobby the Senate this week," Rolando said. "We flooded the Senate with tens of thousands of calls and other contacts. We did not prevail in striking the five-day delivery provision or regressively unfair FECA cuts, but we did protect tens of thousands of Letter Carrier jobs by winning the door-to-door delivery amendment by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y."
The Mail Handlers "relied on many of its friends and supporters in the Senate to help shape a more favorable bill, but special credit goes to Sanders, who created a coalition that was successful in securing countless positive changes to the original version," the union said.
"Although the bill is flawed, the amended version is far better than the original," said APWU President Cliff Guffey in a statement. "That is a result of the tremendous effort of members, postal customers, and elected officials who appreciate the importance of the Postal Service to American life."
