Samsung's Latest Curved UHD and Flat UHD TVs to Hit Stores in May
Samsung earlier today announced the local pricing and availability of its latest U9000 curved UHD TV, U8500 flat UHD TV, and H8000 curved full HD smart TV. Of course, we've all the details.
Showdown: HTC One (M8) vs. Samsung Galaxy S5 vs. Sony Xperia Z2
With HTC, Samsung and Sony all releasing new flagship smartphones, you may be facing the dilemma of which one to buy. We've reviewed all three, but now it's time to compare them head-to-head.
Samsung Galaxy S5 - Far From Basic
When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S5 at MWC in February, CEO JK Shin, said Samsung was "going back to basics." But with an IP67 dust and water resistant build, fingerprint scanner, heart rate sensor and phase detection autofocus, the S5 is anything but basic. Are these just more gimmicky features, or is this the next Galaxy evolution? We find out.
Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 LTE Review - Redefining Android Productivity
It's easy to dismiss the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 as just a bigger version of the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition. But as we found out, what matters most in this case is the software and not the hardware. But is it worth the price, and who should buy it? We answer these questions in this review.
HardwareZone Members Go Hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2
The Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is Samsung's flagship product in its new pro tablet lineup, but is it just a tablet with a giant screen? To dispel the misconception, Samsung collaborated with HardwareZone to bring our members a special hands-on event - so check out what took place!
Investigating Samsung's RAPID Caching Technology
When Samsung launched its mainstream SSD 840 EVO last year, it also introduced a new caching technology called RAPID mode and it has now included this technology for its flagship SSD 840 Pro drive. We take a closer look to find out how and if it really works.
Preview: Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 LTE
While the Galaxy Note Pro's massive 12.2-inch WQXGA display certainly makes movie watching and gaming more immersive, its multi-tasking features and productivity apps bundle suggest that the larger play is to convince business users to ditch their notebooks.
Hands-on: Samsung Galaxy S5
At MWC 2014, Samsung unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the 5.1-inch Galaxy S5. Yes, it has a fingerprint scanner. Yes it's IP67 water and dust resistant. Yes, it can monitor your heart rate. And yes, it comes in gold. But what else does it do? Find out in our full hands-on.
Hands-on: Samsung Gear Fit
Joining two new smartwatches announced yesterday, Samsung today unveiled its latest wearable, the Tizen-powered Gear Fit fitness band. The sleek wristband sports a curved 1.84-inch Super AMOLED display, and includes an integrated fitness manager, heart rate monitor, and Bluetooth connectivity with your smartphone for displaying messages and calls. We take a closer look.
Hands-on: Samsung Gear 2 & Gear 2 Neo
While MWC 2014 may not officially kick off until tomorrow, Samsung has jumped the gun by unveiling its new second-generation smartwatches, the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo, a day early. But with less than six months since the release of the Galaxy Gear, are Samsung's new smartwatches enough of an improvement to find success?

I am a fashion designer who designs hand knits. I love hand knits because we create both the fabric and the shape. My designs reflect my intense interest in fashion, with a keen eye to design and technique.
Jill Wolcott Knits® patterns are very complete--I strive to create a complete and clear guide to a completed project and leave little room for interpretation. When a pattern challenges you to conquer a new technique, the directions and support are there to give you a great result (I've given it lots of thought and coached many knitters to new skill heights). Your reward will be the skill that you take forward in your knitting. My love is knitting, not sewing, so I design so that as much as possible is done on the knitting needles with sewing only as absolutely necessary. This isn't necessarily a shortcut, but I think it works really well for those who don't love the finishing process.
I have an extensive online techniques library to help you master techniques I use, and anything specific to a pattern is included.
Your knitting skills have never looked so good! Be the heroine of your own life and swathe your neck in a scarf of incomparable softness and subtle luster. The textured folds of seed stitch ruffles become a cable band that draws the eye to the luscious depth of this luxurious yarn. The cozy neck rib can be easily adjusted to your preferred length. Finish with another cable band which flares into a second and ruffled end for one last note of drama. This perfect one-skein project showcases an exceptional blend of cashmere, possum, and silk.
5.75 sts/in and 8 rows/in = 23 sts/4" and 32 rows/4" in Seed St
9.5 sts/in and 8 rows/in = 38 sts/4" and 32 rows/4" in 3x3 Rib
9.5 sts/in and 10.5 rows/in = 38 sts/4" and 42 rows/4" in 3x3 Rib Cable

Why go?
Until about 1640 BC, Santoríni – then called Kallisti – was just another roundish volcano-island, with a Minoan town on the south shore. Then the volcano blew its top in one of the most violent such eruptions known, causing its slopes to collapse into the then-empty caldera. The sea rushed in to fill it, leaving only the present crescent-shaped island above water, its collision with red-hot rock triggering a tsunami which accelerated the demise of Minoan Crete.
The place was soon resettled as ancient Thera, but inhabitants had to contend with repeated tremors – one of which, in 1956, levelled most of the two main villages, Firá and Oía – and fresh eruptions, which created two islets in the caldera. Santoríni is really best approached by sea; as your arriving craft manoeuvres over the impossibly midnight-blue waters of the caldera, the sheer lava cliffs of the crater's lip, layered in varicoloured rock, loom overhead, with white houses on top like a dusting of snow. It's one of the spectacles of the Med, as is the reverse practice of staring out over the caldera waters from up top – something not lost on the strangely assorted clientele of honeymooners, cruise-ship patrons and backpackers.
Getting there
Transfers: From Santoríni airport (about 4.5 miles from town, near the east coast), KTEL buses provide regular shuttles to the main bus station in Firá. All ferries and catamarans dock at Athiniós port, seven miles from town (beware that many schedules cite the island as "Thíra"); most cruise ships heave to at Skála Firás and transfer passengers by launch to the 580 steps climbing to Firá town (walk, or hire a donkey). Failing that, a frequent cable car whisks you up the cliffside.
Getting around
Buses: These are adequate for main routes such as Firá-Oía or Firá-Kamári, but sparse otherwise – and packed to the rafters during July and August.
Car hire: This option makes more sense, but beware narrow roads and worse-than-usual local driving standards. Hertz (www.hertz.co.uk) has a branch at the airport.
Hotels and accommodation
The best accommodation takes advantage of restored traditional mansions and troglodytic vernacular houses – there's plenty of this in northerly Oía and at Firostefáni/Imerovígli. Much of central Firá is congested, noisy and rebuilt after the 1956 quake, so don't expect much character there, or at lodgings behind Périssa and Kamári beaches. Anything with a caldera view commands a premium.
££ Afroessa 8/10
Smallish, sunset-view hotel at the edge of the caldera, not ultra-luxurious but very well priced for the location. Read the full review
Location: Imerovígli
Contact: www.afroessa.com
Prices: from £88.
£££ Ikies Traditional Houses 9/10
Five-star complex of skaptá (dug-out) cave houses, much the best of several such in this village. Read the full review
Location: Oía.

Prices: from £181 per night. Click here to check availability
Things to do
Sample the curiosities of this volcanic island: the strange black-sand beaches of the east coast, or the zig-zag steps down to the little ports below Oía and Firá. Or just gawp at the hypnotic views over the caldera – though, as with lodging, you'll pay extra for the privilege when drinking or dining.
Firá museums
The Archaeological Museum (Tue-Sun, 8.30am-5pm) on Ypapandís Street houses finds from ancient Thera, while the newer Museum of Prehistoric Thera (Tue-Sun, 8.30am-3pm; may open later in summer) near the cathedral is devoted to the Minoan settlement at Akrotiri (shared ticket €3). The Lignos Folklore Museum in Kondohóri suburb (daily 10am-2pm; €3) completely reproduces a 19-century cave-house, along with mocked-up workshops for all the vanished rural crafts of the island.
Winery tours
Santoríni has been designated an AOC domaine, and winemaking is the only traditional trade that's still in rude health. For a few euros, winery tours generally allow generous sampling. Boutari (00 30 22860 81011, www.boutari.gr), near Megalohóri, is the biggest and most visited, with tours commencing daily April-October, 10am-5.30pm. But do seek out microwineries such as Canava Roussos (www.canavaroussos.gr; open May-October) in Episkopí Mésa Goniá, the oldest on the island, and Domaine Sigalas (www.domaine-sigalas.com; April-November) at Baxédes near Oía, with expensive but superior products.
Perhaps surprisingly in such lunar terrain, there are two spectacular hiking routes on Santoríni: from Imerovígli to Oía on a recently improved and signposted trail skimming the caldera edge (allow 2hr), and from Périssa to Kamári, along an old cobbled, hillside trail via the ruins of Classical-Roman Thera and the cave of Zoodóhos Piyí, containing the only potable spring on the island (1hr 30min).
Day trips
Excursion boats set out from Skála Firás and Ammoúdi, the port of Oía, for the volcano-islets of Paleá and Néa Kaméni. Tours first visit submarine hot springs between the two, which mix with the sea to a comfortable 35-39C; then swap your bathers for sturdy shoes and the hike through the lava-fields of Néa, last active in 1950. Next it's on to Thirassía, Santoríni's only inhabited satellite island, for lunch.
Santoríni is known for having, by Aegean standards, a distinctive cuisine and ingredients, courtesy of the peculiar volcanic soil. Sample the local staples fáva (yellow split peas, puréed), domatíni (flavourful cherry tomatoes), the fortified dessert wine visánto (made from raisins), and excellent white wines, made principally from assýrtiko and athíri grapes (reds are less distinguished).
££ Vanilia
Three-level bistro with caldera views, run out of a converted windmill by two chefs from northern Greece. All the Greek standards and then some, with a nouvelle flair: sea bass with chard, ravioli of mushroom and (local) soft cheese, salad with domatíni, rusks and more island cheese. Dipping into the well-regarded wine list will bump the bill up considerably – economise by choosing Craft microbrewery beer instead.
Address: Firostefáni.
Contact: 00 30 22860 25631, www.vanilia.gr
Prices: €25-€30 for three courses without drink.
Opening times: May-October, lunch and dinner.
Reservations: Suggested.
Payment type: Credit cards accepted
£ Santorini Mou
Literally all-singing, all-dancing taverna with a cult following, as much for the guitarist-host Mihalis Hionas and friends – who serendade you with original compositions – as for the solid food encompassing stifádo (stew), lamb dishes, octopus and affordable bulk wine or ouzo. If you're not on your feet dancing within an hour, you should be checked for vital signs. Seating indoors or out in the flowered courtyard, with sea views by day.
Address: Finikiá district, just under half a mile east of central Oía, north side of road.
Contact: 00 30 22860 71730, www.santorinimou.com
Prices: €21-€24 for two courses with bulk wine.
Opening times: May-mid-October, from 12 noon until whenever the party stops.
Reservations: Advised.
Payment: Cash only.
Bars and nightlife
After-dark activity is generally low-key – it's hard to upstage the sunset views from cafés at the caldera's edge – and the only real focus is along Erythroú Stavroú in central Firá. Perívolos and Périssa beaches support a day-to-early-evening bar scene.
Kira Thira
The oldest (founded 1976) bar in town, with a genteel vibe; jazz, Latin, "ethnic" and blues soundtrack, plus occasional live events. Sangria is the house speciality.
Address: Erythroú Stavroú.
Contact: 00 30 22860 22770.
Opening times: 8pm onwards, most of the year.
Nearly as venerable (since 1979), this is the only proper dance club, with a barrel-vaulted main hall and outdoor bar stooked by a palm tree; house and mainstream soundtrack.
Address: Erythroú Stavroú.
Contact: 00 30 22860 22466, www.enigmaclub.gr
Open: 11pm onwards.

Holley Holland, a London-based boutique consultancy specialising in the financial services industry, has been appointed to design and execute Recovery and Resolution plans for the European operations of a major US bank.
The European Commission now requires banks and other financial institutions to prepare and implement Recovery and Resolution plans (sometimes known as "living wills"). The purpose of this directive is to prevent a repeat of the situation in 2007/8 when governments were forced to use taxpayers' money to prevent banks from failing. It puts an end to the notion that some institutions are "too big to fail" and will be rescued by the government and instead forces them to set out its arrangements to restore their own viability.
"Holley Holland has in-depth experience of the banking and financial services industry and we are delighted to have the opportunity to use this knowledge on this major project. Our on-going relationship with the bank has shown them that they can trust us to get the job done, despite the many challenges involved," explains Andrew Holley, partner, Holley Holland.
"Recovery and Resolution plans are proving far more extensive for many financial institutions than first thought and, thankfully, the deadline for plans has been extended to the end of 2014 because of this. However, the complexity and commitment required means that any company that still needs to develop its plans must act quickly and preferably hire expert help," explains Andrew Holley, partner, Holley Holland.

Syria rebels, government report poison gas attack
BEIRUT -- Syrian government media and rebel forces said Saturday that poison gas had been used in a central village, blaming each other for an attack that reportedly injured scores of people.
Details of the attack Friday in Kfar Zeita, a village in Hama province about 125 miles north of Damascus, remained sketchy Saturday night.
But online videos posted by rebel activists showed pale-faced men, women and children gasping for breath at a field hospital, suggesting an affliction by some kind of poison in a conflict that's seen hundreds killed by chemical weapons.
The main Western-backed opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, said the poison gas attack hurt dozens of people, though it did not identify the gas used.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an activist group that relies on a network of on-the-ground volunteers, said the gas attack happened during air raids that left heavy smoke over the area. It reported that people suffered from suffocation and breathing problems after the attack, but gave no further details.
State-run Syrian television blamed members of the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front rebel group for using what it described as chlorine gas in an attack it said killed two people and injured more than 100. The TV report claimed the Nusra Front is preparing for another chemical attack against the Wadi Deif area in the northern province of Idlib, as well as another area in Hama. The government station did not explain how it knew the Nusra Front's plans.
Activists in the village could not be reached Saturday.
An amateur video posted online by opposition activists showed a hospital room in Kfar Zeita that was packed with men and children, some of them breathing through oxygen masks. On one bed, the video showed six children, some appearing to have difficulty breathing.

Cliff Lee ducked into the dugout in the middle of the ninth inning after throwing a career-high 128 pitches, allowing only one run, and striking out 13 batters - yet still facing a loss.
Lee's complete game was spoiled by a lackluster Phillies offense that allowed him to be outdueled by Atlanta's Julio Teheran. The Braves righthander pitched a three-hit shutout in a 1-0 win over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday night while all the players wore No. 42 to honor Jackie Robinson.
"I felt like I did what I needed to do, but you have to give credit to the opposing pitcher," Lee said. "We didn't score. He shut us out. So he was obviously doing something right."

All runner ups get a Lonely Planet guide of their choice. Congratulations!
But there was one picture our panel fell in love with, and that is the winner of the competition. Check it out:

The CHERYL HODGE Group
Bellingham, WA
Venue Address (Get Directions)The Jazz Station
Date and Time
Friday, June 7th, 2013 at 8:00pm
Age Limit
All Ages
The CHERYL HODGE Trio with Michael Denny on Guitar and Dylan Hodge on bass play for the Art Walk concert at The Jazz Station! Lively & bluesy singer, songwriter Cheryl Hodge is always on the scene. With recent hits from her latest CD, "Roots Don't Lie," this jazz-blues celeb is one busy woman. Hollywood critic Jim DeCicco (of Hollywood Music In Media Awards) called her latest recording: "A masterfully produced contemporary (Chicago) jazz/blues release that is fresh and vivid. World class performances and arrangements - a must for any true music lover's collection."
Her previous successful jazz release, "INDIGO," featured Cheryl along with guitar great, John Stowell, Juno winner Brad Turner on trumpet, Tom Colclough on sax, along with a host of musical phenoms. The title song, "Indigo," won "Best Jazz Song" at 2010 Hollywood Music In Media Awards.
Downbeat critic Bob Protzman said of Indigo: "In the seemingly eternal debate about who or what is or isn't a jazz singer, anybody with ears would without hesitation and with great enthusiasm cite Cheryl Hodge as the real thing."
Hodge is also winner of the GRINDIE Award (RadioIndy.com). Both a blues and a jazz singer, Cheryl Hodge has been featured as an "emerging artist" of the month on Coast to Coast AM Radio with George Noory. She was nominated for Best Blues Song in 2011 Hollywood Music In Media Awards for "That's Why I'm Here."

With the new International Terminal/Concourse F at ATL opening in the spring, the train will likely be getting a new voice, as there has to be a message for Concourse F, and all of the messages should have the same voice for consistency. So, what would you like to hear for the new voice?
I would actually like it if Deltalina recorded the voice for the train. The NATO Phonetic Alphabet should again be used, adding "Concourse F as in Foxtrot". Also, sound effects should be brought back; good sound effects would be some smooth jazz guitar chords.
Also, I wonder, could the doors closing message on the stations finally be replaced? Those still use the 1995 male voice.

"I actually just came down from University of Idaho," said Keri Peck of Eagle. "I'm back with my parents back here in Eagle, so I traveled down a couple days ago."
AAA of Idaho expects 195,000 Idahoans to hit the roads this Thanksgiving.
And we found folks are thankful this Thanksgiving for the most important reasons.
"Being alive, being alive," said Mike Bailey of Nampa. "I've had two heart attacks, so I'm very blessed and I'm just thankful for that."
"I'm thankful for my family," said Amanda Larimore who will be spending Thanksgiving in Meridian. "I just reconnected with them, and I enjoy spending time with them."
"For family, and the United States," said Ken Hansen of Boise. "That's a big thing. We live in a free country."
"I'm just thankful my mom's recovering from surgery, and doing well while dad's taking care of the household," said Keri Peck. "And granma's still kickin' with us after her stroke four years ago."
"I have a wonderful wife. she is amazing," said Tom McNeill of Eagle. "She just lost her mom and has been really hassled with that but she is just amazing through it all."
It's true year round, of course, but somehow clearer during late November's holiday odyssey -- the endearing bond of family.

Opponents of Parent Trigger Law Push for 'Transparency,' Gloria Romero Says That's Hogwash
"Transparency" appears to be the new political controversy over California's Parent Trigger law, which allows parents to make changes at a chronically failing public school if they pull off a successful petition drive.
While former state senator Gloria Romero thinks the transparency issue is over-hyped, according to California Watch, don't be surprised if opponents of the Parent Trigger in Sacramento look to change regulations or the law itself in the coming weeks.
"If transparency means giving time for parents to be intimidated, threatened and deported, that is not transparency to me," Romero, the author of the Parent Trigger, tells California Watch. "I strongly support the parent trigger law as it was introduced (in the legislature), and it is operating in the way it was intended."
Opponents of the Parent Trigger are still smarting over the successful petition drive at Compton Unified School District, which became the first of its kind in the United States.

Parents and paid organizers with the Los Angeles-based education reform group Parent Revolution managed to work mostly under the radar while gathering signatures from some 60 percent of parents whose children attend McKinley Elementary School.
That petition drive seeks to replace the chronically failing elementary school with a charter school run by the Celerity Educational Group.
With a sudden influx of Governor Jerry Brown appointees, the California State Board of Education has now postponed approving regulations for how the Parent Trigger works. The word going around the state capitol is that the board may seek to push for more "transparency" during the signature collecting process.
With unfettered access, L.A. Weekly spent time with Parent Revolution organizers and Compton parents when they were still working on gathering signatures. It was a situation ripe for intimidation tactics by Compton Unified officials, who want to maintain the status quo, and statewide teachers' union, who hate the Parent Trigger law.
Parent Revolution organizers, as a result, took a strategy from the labor movement and organized in a low profile way. It was obviously effective, and allowed parents to take the major step in confronting Compton Unified officials and to demand change on the behalf of their children.
As Romero tells California Watch, ""All this (the parent trigger) does is provide parents the opportunity to petition their government. Why are we afraid of that?"
If the California Board of Education does push for more so-called transparency, it will be interesting to see if the California legislature holds politically-connected labor unions who also organize under the radar to the same standards. If that took place, labor unions would undoubtedly be outraged.

"Children should use enquiry skills in context. These up-to-the-minute stories will captivate them"
Anne Goldsworthy
Primary Science Expert
Hot air balloons rise and submarines sink but why? Both depend on the principle of upthrust. An Indian textile millionaire reportedly broke the world record for the highest flight in a hot air balloon. The balloon soared to 21,000 metres. Balloonists need to know how to alter the weight of the balloon in order to rise or to fall. Submarines take on water in order to dive and expel it to rise to the surface.
In this activity children learn about upthrust and its effects. They label an explanation of how submarines work. They draw force arrows on a diagram of a hot air balloon and calculate how many children might be lifted.

In Tolstoy's "War and Peace," General Kutuzov exasperates his comrades by refusing to take action against Napoleon. "Maneuver," they urge him,
"outflank, attack!" But except for ordering an occasional retreat, Kutuzov insists on doing as close to nothing as he can, and wins the war as Napoleon overextends his supply lines and is ambushed by the Russian winter. Kutuzov's philosophy was the less you do, the less you err.
In the early part of the 20th century, a school of chess strategy developed, led by modernists Richard Réti and Aron Nimzovich, that enticed opponents to overextend pawns and pieces, making them vulnerable to attack. Once again the theory seemed to be that vigor and action are not always the best solution to a problem.
The Internet grants us the blessings of instantaneousness — and the curse of instantaneousness. Our first reactions are not always our best, wisest or most measured. I have seen sharp, unpleasant fights arise from issues that, had the individuals had to write a letter or meet in person, would never have developed. But few among us, faced with a crisis, have the wisdom of Kutuzov. "Better is the patient spirit than the lofty spirit," teaches Ecclesiastes. Sit. Wait. Count to 10 before you hit "send." The chance to respond will still be there but the wisdom of waiting, once gone, is gone forever.

Like that Rabbi. It's a great philosophy, as it does give one ,two great advantages, if not more. Cooler heads, come from cooler blood, cooler blood allows one to start from the beginning with clean slate. Clean slate or canvas, are much better place to express one self, without being held down by other factors or colors that might not be the right ones, for what one might wanted to achieve.

Beer dinner with top chefs on Feb. 25 will raise funds for veteran
The Best of Milwaukee Beer Dinners series -- which pairs food from top Milwaukee chefs with craft beer -- is back this month and raising funds for a badly injured veteran.
The veteran is a friend since childhood of Wolf Peach chef Daniel Jacobs. Sgt. Ed Matayka was severely injured in an IED blast in Afghanistan in 2010, which required the amputation of both legs. He also suffered a stroke as a result of the injuries. His rehabilitation continues, and he and his wife now are expecting twins. »Read Full Blog Post

What particularly caught my attention was this... 'Keep in mind that for most humans, the threshold of distortion detection is around 3%. If very special test tones are used, some people can hear about 1% distortion. No test has ever shown that a human can hear distortion levels below 1% under any circumstances'.
Being interested in the subject, I always read any material on audio perception that comes my way, but this is the first definitive statement I have ever come across regarding the audibility of distortion. I take it he intends harmonic distortion in this case.
Does anybody have any information to support or contradict these statements?

You look forward to your family vacation all year: the sun, sand, surf. But who invited the jellyfish?
Frolicking in the ocean is a summertime rite of passage, but a jellyfish sting can spoil the fun. Here's how to handle it if someone in your family gets zapped by one of these mysterious sea creatures.
Jellyfish have been around for millions of years (they predate dinosaurs) and live in oceans all over the world. You might have noticed on visits to the beach that many days there are none to be seen; other times, you might spot a bunch of them among the waves or washed up on the beach.
There are many different types of jellyfish, and while their appearances can vary greatly, they all have the gelatin-like composition that gives them their name. Some just look like small, clear blobs, while others are bigger and more colorful with tentacles hanging beneath them.
It's the tentacles that cause the stings. To eat, jellyfish sting their prey with their tentacles, which release a venom that paralyzes their targets. Jellyfish don't go after humans, but someone who swims up against or touches one — or even steps on a dead one — can be stung all the same.
While jellyfish stings are painful, most are not emergencies. Expect pain, red marks, itching, numbness, or tingling with a typical sting.
But stings from some types of jellyfish — such as the box jellyfish (also called sea wasp) — are very dangerous, and can even be deadly. These jellyfish are most often found in Australia, the Philippines, the Indian Ocean, and central Pacific Ocean.
Jellyfish stings leave thousands of very tiny stingers called nematocysts in the skin. These stingers can continue to release jellyfish venom (poison) into the body. Sometimes, they can be rinsed off with seawater or scraped off using a plastic card (like a credit card or store loyalty or membership card).
One old folk remedy touts peeing on a jellyfish sting. But instead experts recommend rinsing with seawater and sometimes vinegar. Vinegar is a weak acid that, for some kinds of jellyfish stings, might keep the nematocysts from "firing," or releasing venom. Similarly, seawater from the jellyfish's home environment also seems to prevent them from firing. Fresh water, though, may cause the stingers to fire.
If your child is stung:
Call an ambulance immediately if someone has been stung and:
Reduce your family's chances of a jellyfish encounter by swimming only at guarded beaches, which are more likely to warn visitors about jellyfish. Look for a sign or warning flag (some beaches fly a purple warning flag when there's "dangerous marine life" in the water). Also consider stashing a small container of vinegar and a plastic card in your beach gear, just in case.

TravelPod Member ReviewsThe St. Anthony, A Luxury Collection Hotel San Antonio
Great location, beautiful hotel, a very nice choice in San Antonio !
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
I love a place with history. If I recall correctly this place was built in 1909. Priceline made it an amazing deal. We asked for a quiet room and when we got to our room we were taken back by it's great size and big four poster beds. They shower fixtures came off while I was trying to use them and there was very low water pressure. I hate complaining about things but called the desk and explained the situation and they asked if I'd like to change rooms. The bellman came up with new keys and helped us move to a new room which was even quieter and bigger...had two bathrooms. Yes, the woodwork may have some dings and old tile in the bathroom might be in need of some work, but I loved it.

Historical Traveler Reviews The St. Anthony, A Luxury Collection Hotel San Antonio
Indifferent and depressing
Beautiful, albeit somewhat shopworn lobby. Indifferent service, distracted clerks at the desk and no concierge. Room did indeed have a four poster bed in it, but the room was very small, dank and depressing. The walls are thin and one gets serenaded with the sounds from adjoining bathrooms, passersby in the hall, and the music that blasts from the sky deck. The bathroom was old, marginally functional and difficult for one smallish person to maneuver in. Would not stay here again.
Beautiful hotel, terrible service
The hotel itself is beautiful but this alone cannot make up for the lack of service given to guests. Don't expect a nice greeting at the front desk when you arrive and don't expect to receive any service at all if you decide to visit the hotel restaurant. In fact, I recommend avoiding the restaurant altogether. Also, the food is subpar, cold, and quite pricey. Oh, and make sure you bring lots of cash for the parking.
They charge their guests an arm and a leg just to park at their hotel during your stay. I also recommend bringing earplugs as the walls in the rooms are old and very thin.
Pleasant ambiance & great location
We stayed at the St. Anthony in April 2003 during Fiesta Week as we found an internet special price at the last minute. It is a short walk to the Riverwalk and Alamo and close to the bus stop. Our room was small with a small closet and quaint bathroom, but the king bed was comfortable and our window overlooked a park. Our friends had a double room with two bathrooms, two beds, two closets and real dressers. The Wyndam is recreating the original feel of a once grand hotel and we had an enjoyable stay. The staff was friendly and accomodating. We loved San Antonio and will be back to visit again.
Very Impressive ! THE BEST!
Beautiful hotel! Walking distance to the Riverwalk. Not only did I find nicely appointed, immaculate rooms with beautiful furniture. . . I found THE BEST personal service I have ever experienced! I felt like a celebrity during my stay. The staff referred to me by name (even when they didn't have any paperwork in front of them) which is pretty impressive for a large hotel that was VERY busy while I was there! The best evidence of quality was the attention to detail that I experienced. . . the concierge volunteered to call a taxi for my airport run, and he selected the best cab driver I have ever had (small thing - but it enhanced my stay); MEN: you MUST get a shoe shine - the man at St. Anthony's is from the old school and he is amazing - again, a small thing, but it made my day for some high profile business meetings! The personal service puts this hotel at the top of my list in San Antonio! It is actually easy for hotels to buy pretty furniture.
The REAL proof of quality is in their daily attention to the needs of the customer! I'll be back!
Beautiful hotel - Great price! July 2003
In the past, we have stayed in many hotels in San Antonio - but now we always stay at the St. Anthony. Our rooms surpass excellent in the things that matter most to us - cleanliness and a good shower (big rooms). The price of this motel is very inexpensive compared to hotels in its class -we have paid anywhere from $75 a night to $100 a night here. If you sign up for their hotel program on their website, you also get a complementary snack and beverage in your room upon arrival. The hotel is right by the riverwalk - convenient without the noise. The lobby is beautiful and immaculant. Dining in the Madrid room is quiet and the food is great. (The breakfast buffet is pricey, even for kids, but very good.) Whatever you do, don't miss their Sunday brunch - fabulous!!!! ($26, but worth it!) My only complaint is that the pool area and restrooms are sometimes dirty and their fitness room has MUCH to be desired.
Wonderful Hotel Loved it
My family vacationed to San Antonio and stayed at the St. Anthony hotel. It was a wonderful hotel. We loved it. The only thing we didnt like was the carpet in the hallways. The ends of the carpet were held together with duct tape, it looked very trashy. Another thing that I didnt like was the fact that you could hear people in the rooms next to you, one night while we were trying to sleep, a couple next door were "discussing some buisness" if you know what I mean and were very very loud about it. Those are the only two problems with the hotel. The rooms were very charming the big four poster bed, the desk and the beautiful armoire. If we ever go to San Antonio again we will definately want to stay there again.
Wow, what an excellent surprise!
After reading some mediocre reviews, I was a bit apprehensive about this stay, but, oh my goodness! We had such a great room, huge....the bathroom and changing room were about 20 square feet alone. The staff were all very courteous. I would highly recommend the St. Anthony, with fine ambiance, fantastic location and nicer than expected rooms. And all of this for $69 a night! Unbelievable!
Beautiful hotel - but we had a bad housekeeping experience!
The St. Anthony has a BEAUTIFUL lobby, and our room was gorgeous as well. There was a big four-poster bed and old-fashioned fixtures in the large bathroom. However, upon arrival, our shower had not been cleaned (stray hair & a bar of soap remained....), the ice bucket had melted ice in it, and the carpet obviously hadn't been swept in a long time. It took three calls and two visits from housekeeping over the course of an hour to get these problems fixed. On the following days, we didn't feel like the room was fully cleaned, either.... for example, I don't know that the bathroom floor was hardly cleaned while we were there. A beautiful, comfortable hotel - they just have some issues w/housekeeping. Hopefully ours was an isolated incident. Also, pay $2 extra to valet park. There is a nicely maintained park across the street from the hotel that you have to walk past to get to the self-park lot, and there seem to be a lot of homeless people who stay there, including one man we saw take his pants off.... just seemed to be some safety issues at night, although everything was well lit and the lot had good security.
Small rooms & no concierge
Room was too small. Chest of drawers was so close to end of bed that you couldn't open drawer more than 5 inches. Wallpaper needs to be changed. Not a modern bathroom. I can't stand when a hotel uses bellmen to be concierges at the same time. Hotel should be reduced to 2 stars because there was no concierge the weekend we were there. Also, pool isn't big enough to swim in, 12'x12' at max.
Historical Setting
My husband and I used hotwire.com and ended up at the St. Anthony. It was wonderful! The rooms were cute and reminded me of staying at my grandmas. There was a four poster bed, a real dresser and huge closet. The hotel had a really nice, heated pool on its roof with a jacuzzi. We were able to swim comfortably even at New Years! The location couldn't be better. We were a very short walk to the Riverwalk and Alamo. We couldn't believe the great deal we got. I just booked the same hotel for my mom and I via hotwire.com. I got an even better price this time and can't wait to stay there again. The only complaint I have is the parking. The hotel has its own lot, but it is $13-$15 per night. There is another lot across the street that is a bit cheaper$9-$10. But I would either go without a car or look for a lot nearby. Otherwise, a great place!

Probably tech companies don't require much education from employees who clean the restrooms.
your on the wrong board. i think your looking for the MCD board.
Actually, Raystock left the company store because he could not afford even the cheapest product that they stocked. Amazing how the omission of the one word "store" changed the entire meaning of the subject.
Raystock did not leave the one company that he has spent his life working at, Burger World, where he is famous for his ability to take pride in cleaning the restrooms.
Remember that Raystock is a compulsive liar. Had he been an honest person he would have posted that aapl was $700 when he started recommending the stock as a buy
why dont you go back to school and learn some English/Grammar first before typing on this message board. once you are done with this, than we can discuss what you did at apple.
Maybe you should invent a spell-grammar-checker.
Why aren't you on the playground with the rest of the children during recess? Does your teacher know that you are using her computer?
aapl never should have gone to 700, it should be trading in the 400's as i write

A visitation of children warms the elderly with love and vitality
In a room cluttered with Lego blocks, finger paintings and nine bright-eyed preschoolers, Bill Vonk is reading aloud from If You Give a Moose a Muffin. Most of the kids in the playroom are absorbed in the story—but not 2-year-old Thomas Simonton. He has discovered something more entertaining: the brake lever on Vonk's wheelchair. As the septuagenarian storyteller tries to get on with his tale, Thomas manipulates the brake lever like a gearshift and—VROOM!!!—off he goes on an imaginary joyride. Finally Vonk, 70, surrendering, laughs and closes the book. "They have so much energy," says the former engineer. "I have five grandkids. This is like having them around all the time."
Which is precisely the point of the St. Francis Extended Health Care center in Bellingham, Wash., where people at opposite ends of the human life span come together for several precious hours every weekday. "I'm hoping to get well enough to go home," says Vonk, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and needs a wheelchair to get around. "But until then, at least these kids are around to make the days brighter."
The St. Francis center embodies an idea that is as simple as it is bold, combining preschool and elder care in a single facility. Fifty children, ages 18 months to 6 years, share recreation rooms, meals and corridors—great for wheelchair rides—with 120 old people, most of them suffering from incapacitating ailments. Residents spend as much time with the children as they like. Only their bedrooms are considered off-limits to the kids—unless the children are invited, which they often are. "It seems only natural that people who are grandpas and grandpas become involved in child care," says Jim Hall, 38, who founded the intergeneration-al facility in 1985. "They have so much to give. And working with the children helps keep them healthy and active. You can definitely see the psychological benefits."
Sometimes the benefits are physical as well. "When I first came to this place, I weighed only 89 lbs.," says Doris Stimac, 79, presenting a handmade, lace-trimmed valentine to her pal, Megan Smethurst, 5. Stimac, a former restaurant manager, moved into St. Francis seven years ago with Parkinson's disease. "I was very sick and felt very down," she says. "Now I weigh 123 lbs.—it didn't lake long for me to forget all my troubles."
"It's the best therapy there is," says Gertrude ("Goo-trude" to some of the children) Veckhusen, 75, who suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis—Lou Gehrig's disease. "There's not much the doctors can do for me," explains the former seamstress, "but these kids make me feel young again. Watching them brings back my own youth. It's very invigorating."
The child-elder-care facility is the second incarnation of St. Francis. The first was a traditional nursing home owned and managed by Jim's father, Robert Hall. Jim began doing odd jobs there alter school when he was 16. By 1977 he had become the center's administrator. Seven years later he wanted to enlarge St. Francis and provide day care for the children of employees, 90 percent of whom are women. He knew of a Seattle nursing home that had an annex for employees" children. "But for a long time, I'd been thinking, 'Why not take it a step further?' " says Hall. " 'Why do children and the elderly have to be separated?' "
Because the old building couldn't accommodate his plans, Hall designed a new facility with large common areas where youth and age could mingle. The hallways are carpeted in soothing hues of blue and green, and the walls are covered with photographs and paintings. Some of the residents' bedrooms look on to an interior courtyard where there is a playground, and since the entire place is licensed as a day-care center, the children can roam freely throughout.
As soon as the new facility opened, the unique day-care arrangement began to attract interest throughout the area, and within three months Hall opened St. Francis to nonemployees' kids. It was soon fully subscribed, and today it has a waiting list of 80 children. Hull's success has inspired six other nursing homes in Washington State to set up similar programs.
"When my wife and I moved to Bellingham 3½ years ago from Southern California and left our families behind, we longed for our children to have some grandparent figures in their lives," says Kenn Apel, 34, a speech pathology professor. So he and his wife, Lynda, 39, an elementary school teacher, enrolled their daughter, Genevieve, then 3, in the St. Francis program. The Apels are delighted with the results. "Kids at St. Francis learn to be more accepting of people who are different," says Kenn. "It doesn't faze them at all when they see a person with a tube up his nose or somebody in a wheelchair. Isn't it wonderful our kids will take these attitudes into life? And knowing our child is getting love from so many 'grandparents,' we don't feel as guilty about leaving her in day care."
The one dificult lesson children at St. Francis must inevitably grapple with concerns death. When a favorite resident dies, Cheryl Lorimer, 45, director of child care at St. Francis, gathers the children together and breaks the news gently but honestly. The children's reactions are monitored closely for several weeks. "If children are having difficulty, we'll call them into my office with their parents and talk in depth," says Lorimer. "Sometimes, I'll even take the child into the room where the resident died and explain that death is a natural stage in life."
For the elderly, though, St. Francis' dominant characteristic is its vitality. Or as Doris Stimac puts it, watching Megan Smethurst, the little girl's hair streaming as she soars on the playground swing: "It's the children. That's what it is. The children make me feel alive again."

I really would have much rather waited but I guess nows the time.
Anyone got any tips/advice for a neurotic, scared to have her baby in the next room, got her angelcare monitor and video monitor on charge, 1st time mother?

Deontay Wilder: I Will Knock Stiverne Out in One Round!
By Edward Chaykovsky
BoxingScene.com reported a few days ago that discussions were ongoing for the mandatory fight between WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne and undefeated Deontay Wilder. The fight will present the most dangerous opponent of Wilder's career. Wilder (31-0, 31KOs) has been able to stop every single opponent in the early rounds and he expects another early stoppage when he faces Stiverne. He doesn't see Stiverne lasting more than a round.
"I see this fight being an easy fight for me to be honest. The guy, he's got so many things that benefit me. [Stiverne] keeps his head down, I'm a tall fighter. He likes to stay back, of course he likes to counter but my arms are so long, you're going to have to get out of your comfort zone to fight a fighter like me. They say styles make fights, but he's going to definitely have to get out of his style. He's going to have to be more of a pressure fighter which he isn't a pressure fighter … I think it's going benefit me a lot in this fight. He's not going to be able to touch me. I'm going to show people – I'm predicting a first-round knockout," Wilder told the Tuscaloosa News.
Somebody goes early in this fight. It'll be ****ing brilliant while it lasts.Comment by Guerrero's Dad on 06-02-2014
