This invention relates to navigation systems, and more particularly to a technique for electronically obtaining a perspective display aboard a linearly moving vehicle.
Perspective perception of space is very natural to man. The eye recognizes size, distance and orientation of objects, as well as their spatial arrangement on the basis of angular dimensions. Angular inputs to the brain and a vast amount of stored information permit man to navigate through his three-dimensional environment.
Electronic navigational aids have in many respects improved and supplemented human navigational capabilities, but in general they do not provide information, which is optimally interfaced with man's brain. They are not a substitute for perspective vision.
The present invention is a perspective navigation system, which provides basically the same information as vision does. A need for such a system is obvious in several practical situations, such as an aircraft landing under adverse weather conditions. Instrument landing systems are well known and improved versions are presently being developed, but known systems operate on the principle of a glide path and provide measurements of the aircraft deviation thereof.
In my copending application filed on the same date, there is disclosed a perspective navigation system in which a plurality of sensors detects signals from runway marker beacons and each of the detected signals are compared to a reference signal. However, in the present invention only a first sensor is compared to a reference signal while the others are then compared to the first. In addition, the present invention is based on different mathematical formulas.
The invention provides a perspective display on board a moving vehicle of a known configuration of stationary transmitters in order to permit perspective orientation of the navigating vehicle with respect to its environment and yields both the angular and radial location of a stationary transmitter of constant frequency f with respect to the moving vehicle. The vehicle motion must be linear over the measuring interval 2Δt. Multiple spaced antennas on the vehicle provide phase information for each antenna and phase difference information between antennas.
The invention substitutes for actual perspective vision, which may be hampered on board an aircraft attempting to land under adverse weather conditions. From a perspective display of the runway, which is marked by constant frequency transmitters similar to the position lights at night, the pilot obtains information not only on the aircraft position but also its attitude and this information is presented in a form to which the human brain is best adapted.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a navigation method and system that displays perspective information.
It is another object to provide a perspective navigation method and system that does not depend on deviations from a glide path.
It is still another object to provide a perspective navigation system that eliminates the need for a pilot when landing an aircraft to make the transition from instrument landings to visual perception of the runway.
It is yet another object to provide a perspective navigation system that permits the pilot to simultaneously determine both the position and the attitude of the aircraft.
It is still another object to provide a perspective navigation system that operates with a higher redundancy than instrument landing systems used in the past.
These and other objects, advantages and features of the invention will become more apparent from the following description taken in connection with the illustrative embodiment of the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1a is a perspective view of an aircraft in a correct approach to the runway;
FIG. 1b shows a sequence of display representations of the aircraft approach as shown in FIG. 1a;
FIG. 2a is a perspective view of an aircraft in an overflight and at an angle to the runway;
FIG. 2b shows a sequence of display representation of the aircraft's approach as shown in FIG. 2a;
FIG. 3a is a perspective view of an aircraft in overflight but approaching on the center line of the runway;
FIG. 3b shows a sequence of display representation of the aircraft's approach as shown in FIG. 3a;
FIG. 3b shows a sequence of display representations of the aircraft's approach as shown in FIG. 3a;
FIG. 4a is a perspective view of an aircraft in a missed approach, parallel but 15 meters off the center line of the runway;
FIG. 4b shows a sequence of display representations of the aircraft's approach as shown in FIG. 4a;
FIGS. 5a and 5b show the basic geometry which permit the determination of the distance from a moving sensor to a stationary marker;
FIG. 6 is a basic geometric diagram showing the determination of radial and angular positions of a marker with respect to the reference plane; and
FIG. 7 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the invention.
Considering a runway as a fairly narrow but very long rectangle, which is normally approached at low altitudes from the narrow side, it is sufficient to identify this structure by a minimum of three markers. Two of the markers are located at either corner of the approach end of the runway. The third is located at its far end, either at one corner or centered between the two corners. The position of the third marker is of minor importance since perspective practically contracts the far end into one point. Any number of additional markers can be placed along the runway, but is not necessary since the long narrow triangle permits unambiguous perspective identification of the aircraft position from any point within the hemisphere.
The markers either transmit continuous-wave signals of different frequencies, which can be separated according to frequency on board the moving vehicle before computing marker positions, or frequency f is sequentially transmitted from all markers as a pulse of sufficient length to extract the required position information. In the latter case a substantial reduction in equipment complexity is possible.
Referring to FIG. 1a, there is shown a perspective view of aircraft 11 making a correct approach on center line 13 of runway 15. Aircraft 11 has a constant velocity of 70 meters per second and is shown making a 3� glide slope. The runway is marked by radial beacon markers 17 and 19 at the front of runway 15 and radial beacon marker 21 at the rear. FIG. 1b shows progressive views of a display as aircraft 11 makes an approach as shown in FIG. 1a where h is the height in meters, 1 is the distance in meters from aircraft 11 to the beginning of runway 15, and v is the velocity of aircraft 11 in meters per seconds. The three dots representing radial beacon markers 17, 19 and 21 offer a perspective presentation of the runway as seen from the display viewed from aircraft 11.
FIG. 2a is a perspective view of aircraft 11 approaching runway 15 in overflight 15� from center line 13 at constant height of 157 meters and a constant velocity of 70 meters per second. FIG. 2b shows progressive views as seen on a display from aircraft 11 of the approach as shown in FIG. 2a.
FIG. 3a is a perspective view of aircraft 11 approaching runway 15 on center line 13 but in an overflight at a height of 50 meters and a constant velocity of 70 meters per second. FIG. 3b shows progressive views as seen on a display from aircraft 11 of the approach as shown in FIG. 3a.
FIG. 4a is a perspective view of aircraft 11 approaching runway 15 in a missed approach and 15 meters off center line 13 with a 3� glide slope at a constant velocity of 70 meters per second. FIG. 4b shows progressive views seen on display of aircraft 11 of the approach as shown in FIG. 4a.
In FIGS. 5a and 5b the basic geometry and measurements are outlined, which permit the determination of the distance l of a moving sensor S from a stationary marker M, assuming a constant sensor velocity v. To establish a reference frame on board the vehicle, which is rigidly connected to it, additional sensors S1 and S2 are orthogonally mounted at distances s, so that SS1 might be parallel to the vertical axis of an aircraft, SS2 parallel to the transverse axis, and v parallel to the longitudinal axis.
Considering the SS2 direction which is the x axis, the v direction which is the y axis, and the SS1 which is the z axis of the on board reference frame with its center at S as shown in FIG. 6, quantities h1, h2, and l suffice to determine the radial and angular positions of the marker with respect to the reference frame.
FIG. 5a specifically shows how quantities h1 and l are derived from measurements taken at sensors or antennas S and S1. An assumption is made in FIGS. 5a and 5b to simplify the equations, which is permissible in a practical system. Since the distance l is large compared with s, the rays arriving at S, S1 and S2 are considered parallel.
Again, referring to FIG. 5a the triangular arrangement of antennas S, S1, S2 is initially located at the position to the right. An unknown path difference a exists between the rays arriving at S and S1 from M. When the sensors have moved a distance vΔt to the center position, the path difference between them has increased by δ1. At the same time the distance between marker M and sensor S has decreased by i2. After a second time interval Δt the sensors S and S1 have moved to the left position, and an additional path delay δ2 occurs between S and S1 whereas the distance between M and S is reduced by i1 to l.
Trigonometric relations derived from FIG. 5a yield ##EQU1## The quantities δ1, δ2, i1, i2 have been introduced as distances. On board the vehicle they are measured as phase angles, either δ1 and δ2 between antennas S and S1 or i1 and i 2 between antenna S and an on board reference frequency standard f. The phase measurements are converted into distances by multiplication with c/(2πf), where c is the velocity of signal propagation.
In FIG. 5b the same system has been redrawn to demonstrate how h2 and l are determined from phase information gathered by antennas S and S2. Exactly the same reasoning is applied as in FIG. 5a. Naming the unknown initial path difference b and the path difference increase δ3 and δ4 between antennas S and S2 analogous equations are obtained: ##EQU2## Equations (1) and (3) may be averaged to obtain a more accurate distance value.
A further parameter of interest is the velocity v, which follows from appropriate trigonometric relations in FIGS. 5a or 5b: ##EQU3##
Though an aircraft will generally fly with its longitudinal axis aligned with the velocity vector, conditions occur when there is an angular deviation α possible from the right angle between v and either SS1 or SS2. This leads to an effective shortening of the base length s to s.cos α, which is generally negligible because of the small deviation of the cosine function from 1 for small angles α.
In FIG. 6 it has been assumed for reasons of simplicity that h1, h2, and l have been determined for a particular marker M with respect to the on board x, y, z reference system, and that a projection plane P is located parallel to the xz plane at a distance k with the pilot's eye positioned at S. Then marker M will project as M' into the projection plane with an azimuth coordinate ##EQU4## and an elevation coordinate ##EQU5## With a minimum number of three runway markers M' displayed in the projection plane, the pilot recognizes the aircraft position and attitude with respect to the runway. The temporal sequence of updated displays will convey the information on whether the aircraft is on the correct flight path or not. Many other relative orientations of antennas and projection plane/observer configurations are conceivable, which generally result in more complicated mathematics.
An embodiment of the perspective navigation system is shown in FIG. 7 in block diagram form. The ground based equipment includes frequency and time standard 31, which could be a crystal oscillator. The transmitted signal having frequency f is derived through conventional frequency multiplier and amplifier circuits 33. Timing signals are also generated from standard 31 using time interval circuits 35 which successively apply the transmitted signal f to markers M, M1 and M2. Hence the signals from the markers are transmitted to aircraft 11 serially in this illustrative embodiment. It would be possible to transmit the signals parallel by generating and transmitting different frequencies for each marker. However, aboard aircraft 11 it would then be necessary to provide equipment at each sensor to detect each of the different transmitted frequencies.
The signals from each of the markers in sequence are received by the on board antennas S, S1 and S2 simultaneously and are connected to phase integral meters which have the function to determine the total phase difference accumulating between two input signals during the time interval Δt. Such a phase integral meter is manufactured by Hewlett-Packard, Model H-P 5360A. Signals from S1 and S are fed to phase integral meter 37; signals from S and reference frequency multiplier 39 are fed to phase integral meter 41; and signals from S and S2 are fed to phase integral meter 43. Time interval circuits 45 provide timing signals to phase integral meters 37, 41, 43 and are derived from frequency and time standard 47, which also feeds frequency multiplier 39. Outputs from phase integral meters 37, 41 and 43 are processed in computer 49 and are viewed in display unit 51. A display unit could be an oscilloscope with horizontal plus vertical inputs from computer 49 and on-off control or activating signal from time interval circuits 45.
In principle this system will operate at any frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum and can also make use of acoustic waves. Assuming that there is a minimum discernible phase change, the system resolution will be proportional to the frequency f.
Alternatively, the total scheme may be reversed with three triangularly arranged sensors fixed on the ground and three markers located on the linearly moving aircraft. Information on aircraft position, attitude and course could thus be derived on the ground and radioed back to the aircraft. If only position and course are required, a single marker on the aircraft suffices.

Kjell Heggelund (born 16 December 1932) is a Norwegian literary researcher, lecturer, editor, manager, poet, translator and literary critic.
Personal life[edit]
Heggelund was born in Hamar. His parents were Kristian Heggelund and Katrine Vestby. He grew up in Tønsberg and later Bergen. He was married to Gerd Zelow Hofseth from 1956 to 1963, to Irene Olesen from 1965 to 1975, and then married the writer Liv Køltzow in 1985.[1]
In the 1960s Heggelund issued three poetry collections, Reisekretser (1966), I min tid (1967) and Punkt 8 (1969).[2] His lyrics are regarded as an important contribution to the renewal of Norwegian poetry that took place in the late 1960s.[1]
In 1971 he issued a book with translations of poems by Mao Zedong into Norwegian language, in cooperation with Tor Obrestad (Mao Tsetungs dikt). He has also translated works by the surrealists Paul Éluard, Robert Desnos, Henri Michaux and Benjamin Péret.[1]
Heggelund co-edited the literary magazine Vinduet with Jan Erik Vold from 1970 to 1974. He co-edited the literary magazine Basar from 1975 to 1981.[1][2]
Academics and management[edit]
Heggelund was a lecturer and researcher at the University of Oslo from 1970 to 1992.[2] As a researcher he has worked on the baroque and pre romantic epoques, as well as on modernist literature. He has also edited works by Petter Dass, Ludvig Holberg and Johan Herman Wessel.[1] He wrote the chapter covering the period from 1500 to 1814 in the six-volume work Norsk Litterturhistorie from 1974.[3]
From 1992 to 2004 Heggelund served as a literary manager at the publishing house Aschehoug.[1][2]
Heggelund was awarded Mads Wiel Nygaards Endowment in 1968.[4] He received the Norwegian Academy Prize in memory of Thorleif Dahl in 1995, and the Herman Wildenveys poesipris in 1996.

The place is off the hook with girls, drinks, and full of fun!!!
Eww a nail in my margarita!
My family and I decided to try out new hotels in San Felipe. It was a bit late to be able to book anything, and we thought ourselves luck to have gotten reservations with the costa azul. Unfortunately things did not go as well as we thought it would. When we arrived, my father and uncle went to go pay for the rooms, while the rest of us stayed outside. When they came out we all waited for the attendants to give us the keys to our rooms. After a while of waiting, one of the attendants came up to my father and told him that he had given them an illegal one hundred bill. That could not be possible, since my father had just taken money ou from the bank before we had gone on the trip. My father and uncle both went to complain to the manager, but were un able to get anywhere with it, and since there was no other place that we could stay, we gave up and stayed the first night there. When we finally got to our room, I was supremely disappointed, it was dark, and smelly. The children(my cousins) had earlier spotted the swimming pool, and we headed that way. The pool has an inside bar, and all the grown ups had a few margaritas. While I was drinking mine, I suddenly felt something cut me. I reached into my mouth, only to find that it had been a piece of someone's nail (most likely the bar tenders) that came from the margarita i had been drinking. Yuck, I felt so grows that I threw the margarita into the trash. Soon we left to go sleep, and when we awoke in the morning, we had the same experience that one of the other reviewers had, no warm water. We left a soon as we could. Don't waste your time going here, I know I never will.
Bad Security
Personal items stolen from hotel room. Security Guards and staff unwilling to help. They gave us a "It's your problem attitude".
This place is terrible
This is the worst hotel that I have stayed in. Poor reservation control, misinforming clients, profiling reservation. Lying about "We can not guarantee a specific room" when they just turn around and said to another staff memeber "that room is already reserved". They initially gave us a room in the first floor, just walking by the entrance of the floor, there was a profound smell to urine. The room looked like a cave, dark and dusty. I requested a change in room or cancellation and they finally after an hour, moved us to a room in the third floor (with view). The room smelled so bad to sewer, like if it was backing up from the drain, that I still have the smell in my nose. I made my stay shorter, lost $120.00 but I preferred to leave than staying another nigth at that place. Please beware of this hotel. Expensive, poor maintained, bad service, smelly, phone did not work, no security, etc.
Is that coal in my Christmas stocking?
We visited the Costa Azul in December, 2001. The prime location of this hotel attracted us; the dismal room (dank, dark, and abused) and lackluster service repelled us. After one overpriced night, we moved two blocks west to the Las Palmas, into one of their courtyard rooms, and thoroughly enjoyed our remaining time in San Felipe. The extra walk helped defray the guacamole calories.

I'm got 2 rooms for 2 days, and when my kids want to take a shower at 8.30am there is NO hot water! next days at the same time there is NO water at all... also the pool was so dirty with leaves and papers...at my room my t.v was like 71/2 feet high and I can't reach it, and there is No remote control....besides that room was okay.alicia
CLosest Hotel To Partying
Good hotel if you want to be close to the night life and to the beach. Plus has a pool available for those just wanting to relax with a bar near them.
Nice Beach Hotel
I stayed here about 6 years ago and had a great time. The room was okay with a few holes and dings, but the shower more than made up for it. There is a large sparkling pool that really hits the spot since the temperature gets so hot in the summer. You can walk right out on the beach from the pool's gate and the hub of the town is only a block away. It's the perfect spot for convenience and the prices were very reasonable.

Seth Hoy: Amid frustrated shouts of "Yes, You Can!" from advocates in the audience, President Obama again deferred the power to fix our broken immigration system to Congress Monday during a speech at the National Council of La Raza's (NCLR) annual conference.
Oregon Fights E-Verify Bill
Seth Hoy: The Coalition for a Working Oregon, a group made up of 22 Oregon businesses, called out Smith's proposal, highlighting E-Verify's inaccuracies and calling for a "comprehensive retooling" of our broken immigration system.
Immigration Reform Is Overdue
Ian Goldin: In Arizona and elsewhere the smouldering debate over migration policy has generated more heat than light, risking progress on the stuttering but overdue reform agenda.
Nikki Haley Signs Draconian Anti-Immigrant Bill
Seth Hoy: Farmers in South Carolina are also worried that the new law will hurt the agriculture industry, making it harder for farmers to find workers
"Blacks as Aborigines" Gaffe Draws Ire
Andrea Nill: Alabama state senator Scott Beason (R), who sponsored the state's tough new immigration law, has been caught on tape referring to black customers of a casino as "aborigines."
Mandatory E-Verify Will Not Magically Solve Immigration Woes
Michele Waslin: Immigration restrictionists argue that imposing a mandatory employment verification system will ensure that unauthorized workers are not able to get jobs in the U.S. and will choose to leave, leaving millions of jobs wide open for unemployed U.S. citizens. Of course, this ignores the facts.
Immigration Top Issue for Latino Voters
Seth Hoy: According to a poll released this week, "U.S. immigration policy" beat out "economy and jobs" as the issue most important for Hispanic voters.
Alabama Governor Signs Costly Immigration Bill
Seth Hoy: Arizona has shown us that using a "get tough" immigration law to drive undocumented immigrants out of the state is not only costly, discriminatory and unconstitutional; it's also ineffectual in actually addressing larger immigration problems.
Why Making E-Verify Mandatory Doesn't Solve Anything
Michele Waslin: Advocates are going to expend much time and energy fighting yet another enforcement-only program that—absent legalization and other reforms—does nothing to fix our broken immigration system but has extremely negative consequences for law abiding employers and U.S. workers.
Mass Immigration Sweeps Flood Federal Pens
Andrea Nill Sanchez: Statistics released this week revealed that Hispanics now comprise nearly half of all people sentenced for federal felony crimes, a number swollen by immigration offenses.

Since 1832, when Henry Newton and William Winsor introduced the first moist watercolors to the world, much of Winsor & Newton's reputation for supreme quality has stemmed from its Professional Watercolor range. More than 180 years later, the original Winsor & Newton moist watercolor continues to be formulated and manufactured according to the company's founding principles — to create an unparalleled watercolor range that offers professional artists the widest and most balanced choice of pigments with the greatest possible permanence.
Through strict adherence to these founding principles, Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolors offer brilliance, transparency, and purity of color unparalleled by any other brand. For the 21st century, these key qualities are achieved through a combination of choice of raw materials, custom-made machinery, and expert formulation by experienced chemists and artists.
Today, the Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor range benefits from continued advancements in pigment technology and production methods, building on the company's already high standards to produce even brighter, more transparent, and more stable colors. Equally important, many of the formulations remain the same — proving that they cannot be bettered!

Comments about Winsor & Newton Artists' Watercolor Tubes:
I am a Winsor and Newton watercolor person since the fall of 1967.Other brands do not compare well. I trust the quality of the paint for lightfastness. The consistency is regular and smooth good for covering, washes or tints.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Reliable top-quality
By CKP
from New Orleans LA
W&N Professional watercolors seem to me to be the mainstream brand, the type that is very reliable, reasonably (but not bargain) priced, generally available, labeled in standard and expected manners, etc.. Nothing ultra-special super-duper-nice about them except that you can rely on the fact that they are exactly what you expected them to be, which in itself is rather nice anyway.
Quick service, quality watercolors!

Use Winsor Newton watercolors most of the time. True colors and great variety.

Comments about Winsor & Newton Artists' Watercolor Sets:
WN w/c are excellent. The colors are brilliant and flow easy. However, these are not for me. I had a hard time getting the tone that I wanted. (Probably all my fault; It is just a hobby for me). One thing that struck me is that this paint acted more like ink than paint. I will keep trying but I have other w/c that I like better. So goodby WN. we can still be friends, just not best friends.
Vibrant colors

Winning record and song of the year Grammys in 2011 for its smash breakthrough single "Need You Now," on top of many other awards in the past few years, the trio of Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood saw its last three albums at the top of the Billboard charts, with 13 million digital singles to date sold in the U.S., according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Included in that tally is the playful hit "Downtown," the lead single off the band's latest studio album, "Golden," released last May. An opening act has yet to be announced. »Read Full Article

Historical Traveler Reviews Genio Hotel Rome
Location Location Location!
Paid �200 for 3 nights Expedia special rate, 3rd night free.
Almost everything - the Vatican, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Colleoseum etc is within walking distance of the hotel. A double bonus is the Piazza Navona which is literally just round the corner with fountains, restaurants and street artists. There is also a Macdonald's (good if you have kids) pharmacy and grocery shop a few blocks away.
If you like big rooms avoid room 112 at all costs ask for room 208 or 207 which has balcony. Only a handful of TV channels, but youre not going all the way to Rome to watch TV right?
All the reception staff were polite, courteous, professional and all of them spoke more than adequate English. Any further questions mail me.
The Genio is a good choice in Rome
We stayed two nights at the Genio this summer and found it to be a very good choice. Although we had had a disastrous stay earlier at another Leonardi Group hotel, we were already booked into the Genio and crossed or fingers.
The location is great; just around the corner from the Piazza Navona and a short walk across the Tiber to Castel S'Angelo and a bit further to the Vatican. Our room was compact, but comfortable and the airconditioning worked well. This meant that traffic sounds (it is on a busy street) were minimized by shutting the shutters, windows and curtains. The bathroom was clean and very modern. The lifts functioned, and the 'terrace' on the roof, although without any services such as drinks, was a great spot for orientation and enjoyment of the sunset over the dome at St. Peters. No meal service other than the included breakfast. It was slightly above average in quality, although in the recent heat wave, one wondered why they would not turn on their airconditioning. I think that was the only complaint we had.
Visitors to Rome do need a comfortable room, esp. in the summer, when a midday retreatfrom the the heat and light can do wonders for comfort and a second round of tourism in the evening. The Genio's location and service were very satisfactory and I expect we will stay there again.
Allround good hotel
i stayed at the genio in may2002, after a 1 minute problem with our reservation was sorted out we were in. the rooms were more than fairly sized, the bathroom was excellent. everything was clean and tidy. there was a cockroach on the dining room floor one morning but you have to expect the odd one now and again.staff were friendly and helpful. the location was excellent as were within minutes away from everything.good hotel. as a travel agent i would recomend it.
Great hotel, great location
Hotel Genio is a friendly hotel in a great location. The staff is very courtious, the rooms clean and moderately sized. We stayed in room 504, with a balcony on the side of the hotel. The most attractive feature of the Genio however, is the roof terrace. In summer you they serve breakfast there, and it's lovely to enjoy the sun when it has long gone from the streets. The view accross the rooftops of the city, including the Vatican and the Capitol is breathtaking by sunset. Also, the surrounding area of the Genio is very romantic, narrow streets, antique shops and small restaurants (Ecce Bombo!). Also the Piazza Navona, just a one minute walk from the hotel and characterized as the most beautiful square of Rome, is a great place to enjoy the sun, the musicians and the busy waiters.
Genio makes it easy.
We stayed at the Genio in febuary 2003. The hotel is situated in an excellent area of Rome, just around the corner from the Piazza Navona and about fifty yards from the Ponte Umberto leading to the castel S. Angelo and onto the Vatican. From here you can walk to all of the main sites inc. the Colusseum, Forum and Trevi Fountain. The room was above average size for a european city hotel, appeared to have been recently refurbished and had a good sized bathroom. The staff were courteous and friendly without being intrusive and the breakfast was very good. If you stay here you must go to the sixth floor and see the view from the rooftop terrace, unfortunately the weather prevented us from using this facility for too long but I'd imagine it would be lovely in spring/ summer.
I was appalled by the incredibly poor service I received from this group of hotels during my recent visit to Rome recently. Just so the reader knows I have lived in Italy on and off for nearly fifteen years and lived for six months a hundred meters from the hotel, which is why I wanted this particular hotel
I had booked via email two rooms at the Hotel Genio for a long weekend. When we arrived at the hotel in the morning the manager denied having any knowledge about our booking. I showed my booking confirmation. He said it was my fault, as I should have telephoned! We were taken to another of their hotels (the Piazza Pax), where we were told that we had 2 double rooms available for us. On arrival we viewed the rooms with disgust. They were tiny rooms with a single bed and a camping-bed (cot in America)! We were then shown rooms with French beds, which were only slightly larger. My wife and I would never have fitted in the bed.
We were then taken to the Hotel Torino, of the same hotel group. This was supposed to be a 4 star hotel, yet it did not even have a bar and in a dirty, smelly part of Rome near the station. This was miles from where I had intended to stay. The staff were unhelpful and rude. This wasted most of our first day. We demanded to see their group manager and he agreed a reduced rate, but gave no apology. This also meant we had to take taxis everywhere. On departure we asked for our original oil paintings we had purchased in Rome, which they had been keeping safe for us. They denied that they had any despite us being in possession of a receipt. They then claimed that the paintings were lost. After considerable argument and threats the painting miraculously appeared!
Unfortunately the Genio is the only decent hotel near Piazza Navona so beware!
Fabio was fabulous
The Genio is centrally located with a very helpful staff. Fabio, the gentleman who checked us in, as very patient with our inability to speak Italian. The Piazza Navona is just around the corner and has many places to eat with wonderful food, make sure you get some gelato. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see in Rome. I would gladly stay there the next time I am in Rome.
Good location ... small room
I was a bit annoyed to discover that the room was very small and that there was no hot water plus the shower unit was tripping. However, after speaking to the hotel reception, the problem with the shower was quickly fixed.
Overall I found the hotel quite pleasant, quiet and clean. Not sure if i will stay at the same hotel next time i go back, though i will definately be a consideration if a bit cheaper.
Plus points:
Good location .. 2min walk to the Piazza Navona. Lively, busy area, with lots restaurants and streets artists. 5-10 minute walk to Vatican City St peters. 10-15 minute walk to Spanish steps, Trevi Fountain and Pantheon.
Clean and good sized bathroom.
Bad Points:
Room fairly small, old style television and shower (although i did find out that some other rooms had newer tv's and shower units)
I recommend Room 609 in the summer
We stayed at the Hotel Genio. It was a bit expensive at 206 Euros per night. The Genio turned out to be in an ideal area for us. The river nearby is surrounded by trees, and the Genio is only a couple of blocks from the Piazza Navona. We stayed in room 609, which we loved. The room is rather small, but it has a gigantic balcony (with a table) on the corner, which affords a view of a nearby palazzo, the top of the Pantheon, and even a statue on the top of the Forum. It was also a wonderful place to watch the people far below. But room 609 has its drawbacks. The bed seemed to be two single bedframes pushed together with a double mattress on top, so it had a hard lump down the middle. We considered pulling the mattress off the bed and sleeping on the balcony, but it was still a bit too cold! My wife thought that the shower smelled a bit mildewy, but I didn't notice that much. Finally, the room has an air conditioner but no means for heating it whatsoever, so I imagine that it is too cold in the winter. But we loved the giant balcony and the location. It seemed like most of the rest of the rooms in the Genio did not have a balcony (except maybe 608). The rooms on the lower floors were small but seemed to be decorated a bit better than 609. Overall, I loved the location of the Genio, but any hotel in the Piazza Navona/Pantheon area would probably be equally well-located. The service at the Genio was cordial; they helped me with directions, sent up an iron quickly when requested, etc. I considered the Tiziano as well, but it was on a very busy street, and I am glad I chose the Genio instead.
They tried to pick our pockets
The rooms were average, the service was poor, and the cost was high. The location was very good. On our 3rd day we had a wallet stolen on the subway platform. The attendent at the Hotel Genio seemed mildly helpful when we got back to the hotel and started making the necessary calls to cancel credit cards, etc. We discovered, however, as we checked out that they wanted to charge us $65 for the several "toll-free" calls that we had made in this effort. Needless to say, we didn't pay and we won't be back.

Caldos II was the inhabited second planet in the Caldos system. This system was 200 light years from Earth.
Nearly a century old, the Federation Caldos colony was one of the first major terraforming projects. It was intended to evoke the Scottish Highlands. It also had a southern desert region and a northern coastal area.
In 2370, Beverly Crusher, chief medical officer on board the USS Enterprise-D, attended the funeral of her grandmother Felisa Howard at Caldos II, where many of the inhabitants spoke Scots language. (TNG: "Sub Rosa")
"CALL-dose" was the pronunciation for this planet's name from the script pronunciation guide. [1]
According to the Star Trek: Star Charts, on the chart "United Federation of Planets I" and "United Federation of Planets II", the Caldos system was located in the Beta Quadrant. This system, also known as Beta Octanis, was a single star system. Primary was a Class A star with a magnitude of +5, which was the same brightness as Sol. Caldos II was listed as a member planet of the Federation in 2378.

Joseph W. Marshall Jr., 88, of Philadelphia, a professor emeritus at Temple University Law School, died Sunday, May 4, of congestive heart failure at Bryn Mawr Hospital.
The law school hailed him on its website as "a legendary tax professor who served the law school from 1960 to his retirement in 1996."
His was a quick rise. He began as a lecturer in 1960, then served as an associate professor for two years before being named a full professor in 1968.
In addition to teaching taxation, Mr. Marshall developed the Graduate Tax Program and directed it from 1970 to 1984. During that time, he served as acting dean from 1970 to 1971 and again in 1980.

This doctor is a get em in and get em out charge the insurance kind of doctor. She barely ever touches you she wants to make diagnosis from the computer. She will ask you a question and cut you off and finish it for you, write a prescription and schedule a new day to charge your insurance.
I recently saw Dr. Amita Dave to establish a Primary Health Care Doctor Relationship and being new to the area, I had put it off since I have an extensive and complicated medical history that would overwhelm many doctors and have caused initial insults when seeing doctors in the past. Dr. Dave reviewed patiently all my records, examined me completely was very understanding, patient, kind and professional as was all her office staff. I was glad to have finally found a Doctor who would accept me and most especially, one who is so caring and understanding. She is GREAT and would highly recommend her to anyone. The office was full on my visit time but I only waited a few minutes and was called back. She acted as though she wasn't rushed and listened thoroughly. I consider myself lucky to have found her. They are execeptional.

The Arts Bus receives grant
RANDOLPH The Arts Bus Project picked up some help from Green Mountain United Way recently in the form of a grant to support the publication and distribution of its new book, Children, Trauma and the Arts.
The Arts Bus regularly drives to more than 10 villages in Orange, Windsor and Washington counties to give children an opportunity to discover their innate creativity, guided by inspiring artist-mentors. A mobile art studio, library, music space and theater, the project is able to bring the visual, performing and literary arts to kids in rural areas.
Grants are based on targeted areas of income, education and health. To be considered for a grant, local nonprofit organizations must exhibit how they will positively affect the eventual financial stability, improved early education of local children, or healthy food and physical activity choices made by those participating in these programs.
For more information about the Arts Bus, visit www.artsbus.org, or email director Cynthia Sandusky at email@example.com.

BARRIE, Ontario — Shareholders have approved a resolution to change the corporate name of Student Transportation of America Ltd. to Student Transportation Inc.
Shares of the company, the third-largest school bus contractor in North America, will continue to trade under the ticker symbol "STB" on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
"By changing our corporate name, it better represents our North American footprint and will serve us well as we continue to grow," said Denis J. Gallagher, chairman and chief executive officer.
The company will retain the names Student Transportation of America for its U.S. subsidiary and Student Transportation of Canada for its Canadian operations.
"On the local level, we will also continue to retain the identities of the many companies we have acquired, preserving the goodwill they have built with their customers and communities," Gallagher noted.
The company also announced that its board of directors is considering a dual listing of its common shares on a U.S. exchange. The listing, which could happen as early as the fall of 2010, would require certain regulatory approvals that would allow the company to market and sell its common shares to U.S. investors, something it believes would further increase liquidity by attracting new shareholders.
"Being able to list and market directly in the U.S. would allow us to expand our investor base and increase our relationships with U.S. and international investment banks familiar with our industry," Gallagher said.

Man accused of stealing Lottery ticketsOctober 09,2013BENNINGTON — A Manchester man who was arrested as part of a drug sweep in Bennington County last month was arraigned on new charges on Tuesday.
Daniel Reddan, 31, of Manchester, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court to two misdemeanor counts of petty larceny and one misdemeanor count each of possession of a stimulant drug and violating the conditions of his release from custody.
In an affidavit, Cpl. James Blanchard of the Manchester Police Department said police were called on Monday around 2:10 p.m. by the manager of the Rite Aid pharmacy on Main Street. The manager told police that she believed Reddan had been in the store Monday and Sunday and taken lottery tickets.
Blanchard said video surveillance footage from the store seemed to show Reddan reaching behind a counter and taking lottery tickets. The manager told Blanchard she believed about $75 in tickets had been taken.
Police were able to arrest Reddan when he went to a nearby convenience store whose employees were told Reddan might come in to try to turn in lottery tickets, Blanchard said.
At the store, Blanchard noticed blue fluid dripping from Reddan's nostrils.
"I asked him why the inside of his nose was blue. He initially stated that he did not know. He then stated that he had just snorted an Aderall pill," Blanchard said.
When Reddan was arraigned on Sept. 30 for possession and sale of heroin, he was ordered not to have or use regulated drugs without a prescription.
Reddan was released without bail on Tuesday.MORE IN This Just InRutland got two goals from Eli Henni and Ryan McKay made three saves in notching the shutout as...

"last night Brittany squeeted all over me after our wild love making"
RogueDeadGuy tarafından 18 Ağustos 2012, Cumartesi
Trending Now
Can you define these popular missing words?
The standard unit of squee, that is, a measure of the amount of squee an object or creature can generate. For example, a cute cartoon about kittens would measure 278 millisqueet, or 0.278 squeet. The cutest kitten photo imaginable would rate 4.8 squeet, the TEL (threshold exposure limit) before irrational gibbering will commence. A cute kitten animated gif might actually rate 0.8 or more megasqueet, resulting in a total loss of self-control (and possible bladder and/or bowel control.)
Male: "Apparently, they're remaking My Little Pony, but instead of ponies, they're kitten-ponies."
Female: "SQUEEEE! OHMYGODTHAT'SSOAWESOME! ICAN'TBELIEVETHEY'REDOINGTHIS OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD..."

Those idiots need to shoot their marketing team as the vapid masses of Nikon fans out there have a hatred of anything that is not an SLR. I guess that's understandable when you consider Nikon hasn't made decent for the past 10 years but dSLRs, and this overpriced cash-in is a doubtful exception.
Wait.. this thing has the same physical size as the awesome GF1 with a smaller sensor and arrives 2 years later? Am I missing something? As a relative new comer to photography (few years) I am just absolutely stunned by some of what goes on with these companies. Did these guy miss the entire point of mirrorless cameras? The REASON that there is a market for these things in the first place is so damn simple it's not even funny – HIGH IMAGE QUALITY (close or same as DSLR), SMALL BODY. It's just so simple. Here we have a camera that is as big as the two year old GF1, with a smaller sensor. Meanwhile, M43 and Sony NEX have bigger sensors and smaller bodies than these Nikons, not to mention their head start. The only reasoning i can see why they did this is so as not to cannibalise their SLR sales or for Nikon fans to not have to stray to another brand. If Canon release a mirrorless that can use their entire range of existing lenses they will win this race hands down.
I am willing to wait for the review. It does not seem to fit my needs, but who knows.
I am sure there are plenty of people looking at the Olympus XZ1 or the Nikon Coolpix lineup who will be thrilled with this.
Nikon makes good cameras, and lots of people buy them.
Take a look at the gallery at Dpreview or at Nikon.com and read the specs. High ISO is very good and IQ equal to or better than Olympus PEN. Pretty amazing camera.

The following is en email I sent to the National Football League, and now I share it with you.
I'm writing to state that the NFL should in fact support Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. The league has done a great job with breast cancer awareness, and now they can be an outlet for prostate cancer awareness, and help bring it to the forefront.
I'm not trying to downgrade breast cancer in any way, but prostate cancer kills more men than breast cancer kills women, and yet support for its awareness is very small in stature.
Both causes deserve equal time to have their messages spread, and I believe the NFL with the size of its audience has a responsibility to help spread the word about prostate cancer awareness. Allowing players and coaches to have light blue accessories during the month of September would be a huge boon to the cause.
1 in 6 men are affected by prostate cancer, so think of every player, and every coach in the NFL who could end up with this terrible affliction.
I strongly urge the NFL to support Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and to allow the players to wear light blue accessories during the month of September, and to help bring awareness of this life threatening disease.
Thank you.
I'd like to encourage all of you to bring more awareness to prostate cancer as well, you can find more information at the Prostate Cancer Foundation website.
We already think pink, but now light blue needs you.

Geronimo Stilton
this wiki
|Grandfather: William Shortpaws
Sister: Thea Stilton
Nephew: Benjamin Stilton
Niece: Bugsy Wugsy
Cousin: Trap Stilton
Geronimo Stilton is the title character in the Geronimo Stilton book series. He is a very nervous and scaredy mouse. He also hates Halloween, probably because he is scared of it. He loves Cheesy Chews. Geronimo is allergic to cinnamon, and he fears cats the most.He is mostly sick to car rides and planes too.
Born in New Mouse City, Mouse Island, Geronimo Stilton is Rattus Emeritus of Mousomorphic Literature and of Neo-Ratonic Comparative Philosophy. For the past 20 years, he has been running The Rodents Gazette, New Mouse City´s most widely read daily newspaper.
Stilton was awarded the Ratitzer Prize for his scoop on The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid. He has also received the Andersen 2000 prize for personality of the year. One of his bestsellers won the 2002 eBook Award for world´s best ratlings´ electronic book. His works have been published all over the globe. In his spare time, Stilton collects antique cheese rinds and plays golf. But what he most enjoys is telling stories to his nephew Benjamin.
Trivia and Difference
- Geronimo has an additional a niece. Her name is Bugsy Wugsy, even though it wasn't explained how she became Geronimo's niece. To become his niece, he has to marry Petunia Pretty Paws, which he is afraid to admit he wants to (He almost admitted in Save the White Whale, but was too nervous that he said he only got seasick).
- In Race Across America, Geronimo's home address written on his package tags were 8 Mouseford Lane, 13131 New Mouse City, Mouse Island.
- It is known that Geronimo is adopted, as explained in Kingdom of Fantasy II. In the 2004 book La vera storia di Geronimo Stilton, it is mentioned that Geronimo doesn't know who his actual parents are, and that he was adopted by the Stiltons when he was at infant age.
- Because of this fact revealed, the relationship status of his closest family members are questioned. We don't know if Thea is Geronimo's biological sister, if Benjamin is his biological nephew, or if Trap is his biological cousin.
- In the books, Geronimo wears glasses. In the show, however, he doesn't wear glasses.
- In the July 2012 book This Hotel is Haunted!, Geronimo seems to be a bigger fraidy' mouse than the other books. When he gets scared then Hercule Poirat laughs and Geronimo says "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!".
- In the show, Geronimo seems to be somewhat braver than he is in the books.
- In mini book 2: The Lake Monster, it is revealed that Geronimo has a goldfish named Hannibal
- In Fabumouse School Adventure, Geronimo is known for his Agility and Athlectics due to his gymnastic Training for about one time.
- In The Way of the Samurai, Geronimo takes lessons in martial arts.
- In The Giant Diamond Robbery, Geronimo was accepted into the MISSO (Mouse Island Secret Service Organization) as an operative with the codename OOG. Despite that, he has never mentioned anything about running a spec ops mission or even working for the agency in later books.
- He even mention this line in the ending: "So far, I haven't had any cases like The Giant Diamond Robbery. But when I do, I'll be sure to fill you in. Mouse's honor!"
Description according to Atlantyca
This is the description from the Italian site translated into English:
"Geronimo Stilton is a well-known journalist and the president of the Stilton Media Group, a media group that includes television news, a newspaper (The Rodent's Gazette, the most famous newspaper in Mouse Island) and even a blog.
Geronimo is a type, even a mouse, full of resources, from the brilliant mind and exceptional nose, but you can not just say that you love "jumping headlong into breathtaking adventures." Geronimo is a klutz and it's very awkward, afraid of any vehicle with wheels, tracks or wings, but if he can smell a scoop... he's ready to go into the jungle, explore the secrets of the sewers of New Mouse City or ride on the back of a yak!
Despite his quiet nature, Geronimo has a brilliant mind and a vast culture, he is the type of mouse that can find a way to solve all problems and that, at the end of each adventure, proves the real hero of the situation."
Here is an English version of his description:
"Geronimo Stilton is the Editor-in-Chief of New Mouse City's most popular news blog and print The Rodent's Gazette, as well as the head of the Geronimo Stilton Media Group.
Although endlessly curious and resourceful, Geronimo Stilton is never set out to be an adventure-seeker.
He's reluctant, fearful, allergic, and nervous, but he is still a mouse who can rise to the occasion and take charge.
After his initial (comical) reaction to a crisis or the adventure at hand, Geronimo will be the one who can keep a clear head and save the day. He is a leader and a hero when needed.
Geronimo has an encyclopedic knowledge that ALWAYS comes into play on adventures.
Geronimo has friends all over the world!!"
