WITH FIRE roaring out the windows and doors, the blaze that obliterated Rasheedah Wilson's Feltonville rowhouse last month was the kind that screamed for reinforcements.
Dispatchers sounded the alarm, and more firefighters raced to a hydrant on the next block.
It didn't work.
Even if it had worked, it wouldn't have been enough to save Wilson or her three children, who died in the Jan. 13 blaze, fire officials said.
But you would think that city workers would scramble to fix a faulty hydrant in the wake of an inferno that killed four people.
They didn't.
Philadelphia Water Department workers didn't repair the busted fireplug until Feb. 3 - after the Daily News questioned the agency about it, and three weeks after the death of Wilson, a block captain, and her children in the blaze on Palethorp Street near Loudon.

Citing ride volume, LogistiCare terminates contract with state
LogistiCare, Wisconsin's problem-plagued medical transportation provider for Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus patients, has terminated its contract with the state starting in February, officials announced Wednesday.
In a letter to state officials, LogistiCare's chief executive officer said the company was losing money under its contract. He said patients in the greater Milwaukee area needed twice as many rides as the company had projected, which made it a lot more expensive to provide services than company officials had anticipated in their contract bid. He also said the state had dragged its feet on implementing policy changes that would exclude ineligible patients, such as some veterans and children, from getting rides. »Read Full Article(72)

please help me. cervix is shortened at 12 weeks
I think your dr knows best, if he feels that you can do it then he probably knows from experience. Cerclages, especially early preventive ones are effective.
After TTC 4 years, 4 IVF cycles, a m/c and an ICP/SCH/bed rest pregnancy, I'm finally a mummy to two sweet 31 weeker girls and an angel baby ^boy^.
I had a cerclage at 21w 1.4cm cervix and delivered babies at 34w after 13w of hospital bed rest. The only reason i delivered at 34w was my blood pressure was getting a little bit high, and we decided to take the babies out. So it is possible. praying for you
i didn't really know my cervix lenght at 12 weeks, because they wouldn't mesure it before 18 weeks. At 18 weeks i had appoitment with my regular ob and she doesn't do mesurements and just at 21w i had my appointment with peri and they saw my cervix was too thin. I did a emergency cerclage. It is a good thing that you are doing the cerclage at this point in your pregnancy. Do you feel bh contractions?? Bed rest worked for me, i drank a lot of water and just got out of bed to go to bathroom.
I have an incompetent cervix. I have been pregnant 5 times and have 1 son. I have lost 2 of the 3 pregnancies due to my cervix. The other pregnancy I am pregnant now with triplets. Vaginal cerclages work for a lot of patients and not for others. Didn't work for me so I have and abdominal cerclage and it has been the best thing ever. If you have a vaginal cerclage be prepared for a long bedrest. Do all your research and also ask about the P17 shots that help with pre-term labor. When you have an incompetent cervix a lot of women also have problems with preterm labor. Good luck

The Tatham Art Gallery hosts a range of Art Exhibitions. These include travelling and researched exhibitions as well as exhibitions initiated by the Gallery based on works in the permanent collection.
A major function of the Tatham Art Gallery is to display art. This is accomplished through the organizing and hosting of temporary exhibitions and ongoing changes in the permanent display areas.
2016 Tatham Art Gallery Exhibitions
The Art of Democracy: 20 Years of Collecting
This exhibition of selected art works acquired since 1994 celebrates the diversity of collecting for the Gallery's permanent collection. Smaller works can be overlooked, but are nonetheless equally compelling. Peter Machen's triptych, Forgotten Herstories of KwaZulu-Natal, is an example of how the creative process invites us to consider alternatives to our preconceptions of the role of women in our history. In these digital images, fiction is presented as fact.
- Main Exhibition Room
- Closes Sunday 10 April 2016 at 17h00
Building History: Drawings and prints of historic Pietermaritzburg buildings by Carola Brotherton
This exhibition from the Gallery's permanent collection comprises pen & ink drawings and linoprints of a number of Victorian and Edwardian buildings in the centre of Pietermaritzburg. These were created by Carola Gordon (née Brotherton) in the 1960s when she was a student and teacher at the Department of Fine Art, University of Natal. Each building on display is juxtaposed with a photographic image of what was found at that street address in August 2015. Some buildings have been restored, some altered, and some have developed signs of deterioration. Two of the buildings have been demolished.

Quote:We've mentioned time and time again that NAND endurance is a non-issue for desktop (and even some enterprise) workloads.
All these "disable this.. disable that" tips that are meant to "increase lifespan of SSD drives" are so incredibly pointless! Forfeit the benefits of System Restore just to presumably increase the lifespan of an SSD??

Looks like we won't get Niton "sale" info until then.
I was kinda hoping they'd release "details" before the Annual Report...
I'm pretty sure they had a least a dozen or more proposals.
Sorting them out evidently's taking a little time, but I'm pretty sure they'll
hold to the 3/1 date for the official closing if any of the offers meet the numbers
they're looking for...and, who knows? Maybe it'll wind-up as a joint venture
of some sort.
The other chunk of information that I'm dying to hear about is the impact of the
South American Trading operations...That's a lot of NEW bodies impacting a Brand New
Market for MFC's trading operations. I'm guessing that it should be pretty positive.
Any updates on Pea Ridge, Goa and Wabush should be pretty interesting, especially
with the Chinese interest in Iron Ore rapidly increasing.
It's a Brave New World out there and Smith's not letting any grass grow under MFC's feet.
Cheez! We DO like this stock!
Now, if Mikey and Rennie can pull it all together, we'll be counting the rewards well into the future.

One of those things that it irritates me to purchase already made because you pay so much in a bakery, and they are so simple to make, really. Especially if you have a food processor, which removes the "I don't know how to cut solid fats into dry ingredients" fear factor, if you're so afflicted.
Mix the dry ingredients, put in food processor, add cut-up butter pieces, pulse, add wet ingredients, turn out on counter, shape, bake. Takes hardly any time.
Recipe? This one – except I didn't have sour cream. I had some heavy cream though, and I mixed it with a little ricotta. I have no idea if it's a legit substitute, but I thought that since it was the thickness of the cream that was called for, this might work. It did.
Plate? My favorite – discounted, mismatched restaurantware. I get it here. That small platter probably cost a dollar.

PCA Products is based in Sevierville, Tennessee and we are happy to call the Great Smoky Mountains home. It's easy to see why this is the most visited national park in the country. With a diverse wildlife population and a matchless variety of plant life, it's no wonder so many people travel here for hiking, camping, site-seeing, or even a picnic. There are stunning views across over 800 square miles in the mountains found in Tennessee and North Carolina.

As Gas Prices Rise, so Does the Staycation Trend
It's really no surprise that more homeowners are choosing to skip the traditional vacation and instead stay home to save money. Between higher gas prices and either losing their job or having to work harder for the same money, it's really not much of a choice.
Topics: screen enclosures, screen door manufacturers, pet screen door, aluminum screen doors, bug mesh, screen door company, screen room, outdoor rooms
Why is screen type so important for a quality aluminum screen door?
There are many different types of screen options and differences in the material from one screen door manufacturer to another. You could have the best screen door frame, but if the screen material quality doesn't meet the same standards, you will find yourself frustrated by ripped and frayed screens needing repair, or even a replacement screen door.

Architectural Survey Reveals More Americans Want Outdoor Rooms or an outdoor patio
With the change in the real estate market, it seems that part of the rebound might be happening because more Americans are holding on to their homes and planning for the long term, rather than preparing to sell. That means they are looking for ways to enjoy their homes more. Perhaps this is more than just a 'staycation' trend?
Topics: home renovation, aluminum screen doors, outdoor rooms
Offer your customers the best screen door kit available from PCA Products, The Screen Door Company with the "Quality Difference".
Most home centers sell storm doors, not many sell aluminum screen door kits or screen door systems. But are storm doors a declining trend? Many higher end home associations do not allow storm doors, and with good reason. Not only are they unsightly, they can be harmful, and unlike popular belief- don't do much to increase the energy efficiency of your home.

At PCA, We Practice What We Preach
It must be something that my dad taught me. Practicing what we preach is something we do in our community, in collaboration with our partners, and for the homeowners that entrust our aluminum screen doors in their homes.
Topics: screen door manufacturers, custom aluminum screen doors, assembled in the USA
When some people think of outdoor rooms, they think of an outdoor patio or a sunroom. Others think of screen rooms. Deciding which is better for your home will depend on a number of factors like:
Topics: home renovation, aluminum screen doors, screen room
Why consider a fall screen door replacement or screened room enclosure?
Almost everyone I know is wishing there was some way to make summer last longer. For that reason alone, many homeowners are looking at their fall to-do list to get ready for winter.

The Kalamazoo Gazette is reprinting selected Diether Haenicke columns through the end of the year. Haenicke died Feb. 15. This column was first published May 16, 2007.
Last week's mail brought an invitation to the annual reunion of the fraternity that I joined during my student days in Marburg, Germany, over 50 years ago. In the fraternity lingo of those days, my status was that of a "Fuchs" (a fox). My current classification is that of "alter Herr" or "old gentleman" or, in the unofficial jargon of the foxes, a "moss-covered person."
Eventually, my fraternity proved unable to recruit any new foxes. The very elite, traditional, medieval structures of these organizations, that admitted only men, simply no longer appealed to a modern, less formal and less traditional generation. And so only the moss-covered, old gentlemen are left to meet twice a year to wallow in memories, to revisit the homes where they roomed as students, walk the narrow, little streets of the medieval town, and to reminisce about their old professors, all of them now long gone.
Adolf Hitler had closed down all university fraternities. When I entered the university after the war, they had sprung up again. Although they held on to their traditional rituals, some were very progressive in their orientation toward democracy and the new state. I joined one of these.
For the weekly meetings, we wore the fraternity colors, in our case those of the old imperial flag: black, white, and red. We were quite formal. We wore dark suits, a colored velvet cap and a sash across the chest. Thus we met, in full color (plenis coloribus), gave each other detailed reports about our studies, and drank beer according to a firmly prescribed ceremony. Toasts and ceremonial commands were given in Latin. When we toasted a friend, we would say "fiducit" or "fiducia sit": "may our loyalty to each other last forever." And if someone needed to leave the table to visit the bathroom, he would be granted permission only after saying "tempus peto": "I ask for a time-out."
It was a wonderful time of academic brotherhood. Since in German universities every first-semester student in fact enters graduate or professional school, most of my fraternity brothers were medical and law students, but there was also a good number of brothers from the humanities, the sciences and the arts. We were very young and, as young people are apt to do, we dreamt a lot together. The young medical students wanted to revolutionize medicine; the law students sought careers in politics and public service in our new democratic society; and I yearned to become a good teacher.
We promised each other to remain friends for life. We had deep conversations about our plans, about the future of our country, about politics, philosophy, Marxism, or social justice, and we stayed together until the wee hours of the morning. But since much beer was consumed, I doubt today if some of our discussions were really as deep and thoughtful as I remember them.
Often, on warm summer nights, we loaded a few wheelbarrows with kegs of beer and walked into hills overlooking the picturesque, medieval town. There, safely removed from all human habitation, we settled down and talked, sang the same student songs that our fathers and grandfathers had sung, and did exactly what they had warned us against, namely not to drink more than was good for us. At last we rolled out our blankets, said a last "fiducit" to the closest brother, and slept till the sun or the cowbells woke us again.
When we come together these days, moss-covered and retired, we don't drink much any more. Our wives sit next to us and roll their eyes when we order our second glass of wine. We warn the young people not to drink too much, but they don't listen any better than we did.
Many of our dreams, though, came true. Some of us became compassionate physicians, famous politicians, or devoted teachers. We don't assemble any longer "plenis coloribus," although I still keep the old outfit in a closet. But we still say "fiducit" to each other and, with rusty voices, we still sing the old songs of our student days together. Sometimes, when I get very nostalgic, I even put them on my car stereo and sing along molto vivace.
Too bad I can't travel to Marburg this year.

I love the program that I am in. The Facilities are great. I get 1-on-1 time with my professors and with my faculty advisor.
Since Ausgburg is a Liberal Arts college, you are required to take a course in just about every area. Although it seems like a waste of time, it opens your eyes to new interests. If you decide to switch your major, the courses are so interlinked that you'll still be on the pathway towards graduating at the rate at which you expected.
I'm currently a biology major but I'm thinking of switching to either chemistry or physics. Either way I decide to go, I'll still be connected to the professors that I've had so far since the science community is so close. There's a whole program dedicated towards helping students with research and internships.
It's a wonderful program and I've learned a ton being there.
The PA program at Augsburg is great! Awesome faculty and a great program.

Focus on Qatar26 Apr 2011
The Middle East may be in the grip of political turmoil but one country stands out - Qatar. Last year, the country won its bit to host the 2022 World Cup and has since set about investing billions of dollars in the necessary infrastructure. The gas-rich Persian Gulf state was also quick to respond to Japan's nuclear disaster with offers of liquefied natural gas.
World Cup fixture kick-starts huge infrastructure spend
A little over four months ago Qatar's jubilant Emir hugged his son in a passionate embrace in front of the world's television cameras. It quickly became the defining moment of Qatar's quixotic, yet triumphant, quest to host the 2022 football World Cup. "Thank you for believing in change," the Emir's son, Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, told his global audience.
The beautiful game or a beautiful dream?
When Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned (pictured) stood up in Zurich last December to present Qatar's case to host the 2022 football World Cup, she stopped the Fifa executive committee in its tracks. Her presentation pulled no punches.
Build it and they will come…
The decision by Fifa, football's governing body, to hand its premier tournament to Qatar in 2022 could mean a swathe of infrastructure projects will finally move from the drawing board to construction.
Gas keeps Qatar at the top of the energy hierarchy
As one of the world's biggest natural gas exporters and a key supplier to Japan and wider Asia, Qatar is in a strong position right now. Qatar's abundant hydrocarbon reserves and adroit development strategy over the past 15 years have made it the envy of the Gulf Cooperation Council, the cockpit of global oil and gas production.
Investment at home and abroad helps the country diversify its economy
Gulf countries are moving to diversify their economies away from gas and oil and Qatar is pushing hard to establish itself as the region's primary financial centre.

A historic Mediterranean-style hotel perched over the Southern California coastline.
If you're seeking a beach hotel because you truly enjoy the ocean lifestyle, then this Laguna Beach favorite is for you. It's literally right on the sand, so much so that at high tide the waves splash against the building. History buffs will be interested to know that the hotel served as headquarters for the White House Press Corps whenever President Richard Nixon was vacationing at his "Western White House" in nearby San Clemente, which helped transform Laguna from hidden gem to world-class destination. The guest rooms are light, airy and fresh, which makes sense considering the perpetual presence of ocean breezes that waft through the space. The only thing separating guests from the sand and water is a very short elevator ride. Details such as iPod docks, cotton robes and private beachfront terraces with windproof candles contribute to the boutique atmosphere. When not enjoying pampering treatments at the Aquaterra Spa, guests unwind at the surfside Splashes Restaurant, a venue that could potentially live up to its name if you sit on the patio during high tide.

Woman answers to charge in crashApril 02,2013Woman answers to
charge in crash
A Brandon woman who police say was in a near head-on crash on Route 7 denied a pair of criminal charges on Monday.
Cheryl L. Barrows, 48, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence of drugs, second offense, and a charge of careless or negligent operation.
Barrows was arrested following a crash in November in which Pittsford police say her station wagon veered into the southbound lane of the two-lane highway and collided with the side of a pickup travelling south.
The driver of that truck, Brian Hitchako, 60, of Ballston Spa, N.Y., told police that the station wagon would have struck his vehicle head-on if he had not steered onto the roads shoulder at the last moment.
Police say a blood-alcohol test of Barrows came back clean. But Barrows told police she had taken a variety of prescription drugs before she drove and was described as being on the verge of falling asleep while she was interviewed at the hospital.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...

Best "Tank" class?

- Best "Tank" class?
Both have abilities that draw enemies to them. Both have primary stats that directly effect their melee defenses.
The Barbarian has an ability that makes Vitality get added to armor though, while the Monk has the ability to add Dex to Armor. I think the Vitality adds a little more survivability.
I know the monk has some great self/aoe heal abilities, does this make a huge difference, or does the Barbarian have anything that compares?

No opinion?
I keep playing with Builds and I'm kind of torn.

Feels like the barb should be better at it if he has a monk for healing but the monk for self-sustained tanking.
Haven't gotten so far on monk, barb or the game but that's just my feeling and logical sense:P

The monk has some ability combos that allow him to stay alive permanently

monk, yesterday saw a guy explaining how he can heal himself REALLY fast at high levels while also doing good damage, though that was more of a combination with the barb that would be the real tank.

I rolled a barbarian specifically to be a tank for my group of friends when we hit Inferno.
What now, TC?
Interesting enough, I rolled Monk for the same reason.
-- As a Primary, Crippling Wave augmented by the Concussion rune and Resolve passive allow me to put out a 45% damage, 30% movespeed, and 20% attack speed debuff in a small point blank AoE around me.
-- As a Secondary, Lashing Tail Kick (Scorpion Sting) offers you a potent point blank AoE with a decently high chance to stun the enemies near you.
-- Monks are capable of extremely high dodge rates, as most of you probably know right now. Simply dual wielding one handed weapons while running The Guardian's Path has me at 33% (Level 34 Monk). It pushes higher whenever I activate Mantra of Evasion, though I've favored Healing recently. At higher levels of play, I expect to further augment my evasion rates with Dashing Strike (Blinding Speed) and Cyclone Strike (Wall of Wind).
-- In fact, let's talk about Cyclone Strike for a minute. Sadly, the AoE range isn't as large as I would like it to be, but in one move we have an AoE pull that clusters enemies near you - good for Crippling Wave, Lashing Tail, and party area attacks. It also damages them, which means it triggers the -25% damage reduction from Resolve. And this is before you get the dodge-boosting rune at level 41. Definitely an effective tool for keeping dangerous threats away from your allies.
-- Serenity as a defensive skill can be augmented with Tranqulity to provide your entire party a CC escape and temporary invulnerability, often enough time for you to intercede by using a Dashing Strike to reach the trouble spot and dealing with the problem.
-- Mantra of Evasion is beautiful at lower levels, but the real joy comes at Level 53 when Mantra of Healing can pick up (Time of Need) to grant an additional 20% resistance to all damage types.
-- As I've stated, I consider Resolve and The Guardian's Path essential to the build. For a third passive, I'm liking Seize the Initiative early on in Normal before resistance becomes stackable, and One with Everything to augment all of your resists at once, later on.
-- Combine One With Everything with Mantra of Healing (Time of Need) and the significant evasion you're picking up elsewhere, the invulnerability shield of Serenity for emergencies and party support, an dash attack tailor made for putting you wherever the party is having the most trouble, and strong gathering + point blank debuff/disable capabilities, and I'd say the Monk has the making of a solid class to consistently put itself in harm's way to protect the Wizards, Demon Hunters, and Witch Doctors out there :)
Repost from the thread earlier about if you'd still have rolled a barbarian if you'd known they needed to be built so defensive.
Sums up most of my thoughts on monk tanking.
holy ****!
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will fight to the death for my right to fight you to the death. -Stephen Colbert
Ace_Dragoon 4 years ago#9
Yep thats close to how I run my monk. The mantra that reflects damage is good. Also, stack some leech and you're really good to go.

Eastwood Tin Zinc Electroplating System
Item #10049 Tin Zinc Electroplating
"At-home" Tin-Zinc Electroplating System brings a brilliant shine to your dull auto parts.
- Adds a brilliant chrome-like finish to brass, copper and steel parts
- Also adds a corrosion-resistant, protective plating
- Easy enough to do at home
Electroplating is easier than you think when you use the Eastwood Tin-Zinc Electroplating System. It brings back the original brilliant luster to properly prepared metal parts.
About Eastwood Tin Zinc Electroplating System
Tin-zinc electroplating makes old metal parts look new again, while providing a corrosion-resistant, protective plating similar to chrome, but without the expense, hassles or hazards. Plate almost any metal part right at home, including brass, copper and steel (not for aluminum, die-cast, pot metal or stainless).
How it works: Make sure parts are thoroughly degreased and de-rusted before you start electroplating at home. Electroplating uses electrical current to pull small amounts of metal from the positively charged tin-zinc anode bar, through the electrolyte solution, and onto the negatively charged piece to be plated. Plating begins immediately once the piece is submerged into the solution. The longer the piece is submerged, the heavier the plating on the piece will be. You may remove the piece from the solution to check the progress, then re-submerge it for a thicker coating. The tin-zinc electroplating process is complete when the piece is covered with a uniform dull gray film. Then just polish to a beautiful shine.

Spago at Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch: Hot Eats in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado
March 20, 2008
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
The start of ski season (Dec. 2007) brought the opening of superstar chef Wolfgang Puck's Spago restaurant in the Colorado mountains at the Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch. From its Beverly Hills roots, Spago has become a nation-wide phenomenon with locations in Vegas, Maui, and Beaver Creek. As to be expected, the Ritz-Carlton's Spago created quite the buzz. Housed in a sleek renovated space (designed by Tony Chi), the restaurant still manages to embrace the "rustic luxury" and "pioneering spirit of the American West" for which the resort is famous. You'll find "seasonal American cuisine with Asian Influences and Rocky Mountain sensibilities." Starters include spicy tuna tartare in sesame-miso tuile cones, and hand-made autumn pumpkin and mascarpone agnolotti. Scrumptious main dishes include Chinois style Colorado lamb chops, grilled Japanese Kobe New York Steak, and the pan-roasted buffalo filet. The gorgeous Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch is a year-round resort destination, offering the very best activities in Colorado's vast surrounding wilderness, so you can check out the restaurant in any season.
What's Hot: Kempinski Opens Dukes' Palace Hotel in Bruges, Belgium
The fairytale city of Bruges, with its medieval buildings, cobbled alleys, and winding canals, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. We're big fans of this charming "Venice of the North"-- not far from the European capital of Brussels. Coming in April 2008: the deluxe Kempinski Hotel Dukes' Palace. When the hotel opens its doors in a prime location in the historic city center, it will be the first 5-star hotel in Bruges. The building itself is astonishing: the former Prinsenhof from the 15th century, built on the occasion of the wedding between Philip the Good and Isabelle of Portugal. The restored palace offers 93 luxury rooms and suites with many original features and unique historic touches, all outfitted with the latest technology. Noteworthy: the Prinsenhof Suite features a terrace built into the tower for a romantic rooftop view, and the historic-listed Marie Bourgougne Suite houses a collection of 15th century paintings. The hotel also offers an indoor pool, boutique spa with hammam and sauna, fully-equipped fitness room, and gourmet restaurant.
An Interview with the General Manager: Marco Novella of Hotel Gritti Palace
March 19, 2008
By: Editorial AdvisoryBoard
Prior to the Hotel Gritti Palace, Mr. Marco Novella was most recently at the St. Regis Grand Hotel in Rome. Before that, he worked at the Hotel de Paris Monte Carlo and the Four Seasons Hotel Milano. He took some time to answer a few of our questions about Venice, the hotel, and what visitors should know.
Five Star Alliance: How did you come to be General Manager of the hotel?
Marco Novella: After a 4 year experience including being involved in the re-opening of the St. Regis Grand Hotel in Rome.
Five Star Alliance: What best describes the personality of the Hotel Gritti Palace?
Marco Novella: A residential Palace with a true Venetian feeling to it.
Five Star Alliance: Tell us what you feel is the most distinctive or unique feature of your hotel?
Marco Novella: The history of its 16th century building and its fine art collection. The hotel's superb location on the Grand Canal and its beautiful views from the hotel terrace.
Five Star Alliance: Can you share the names of any famous guests who have stayed in the hotel, or perhaps regulars that return on a periodic basis?
Marco Novella: During the opening week of the last three editions of Venice's Biennale of Art exhibition, Christie's has invited its most important guests to our hotel ballroom for a preview of its most prestigious auction of the year. Hotel Gritti Palace's terrace is the most sought after place to be, to see and be seen both during this prestigious event and during the Venice Film Festival in September.
Five Star Alliance: Which do you consider to be the best rooms in the house? Not just the suites, but also any particular standard rooms that have great views or unusual advantages?
Marco Novella: Our guests' favorite rooms are those with the incomparable views of the Grand Canal and the S.M della Salute Church.
Five Star Alliance: Can you mention any interesting miscellaneous trivia regarding the hotel? Perhaps a bit of history? Any special events that have taken place on property?
Marco Novella: From the time it was built, the Gritti Palace has been the residence of Doge Andrea Gritti's family, and of many noble Venetian families and prominent authorities.
Five Star Alliance: If you were considering staying at the hotel as a guest, what would you want to know about the hotel before checking in?
Marco Novella: That the hotel fully reflects the atmosphere of the city which I am visiting and that the size of the hotel would make me feel more like I am a guest in a private home (or Palace) rather than in a hotel.
Five Star Alliance: Who are your customers and where do they come from?
Marco Novella: Our guests come from all over the world, in particulare from Europe, USA, Middle East, India and China.
Five Star Alliance: What is the best thing about the hotel's location? What is your favorite thing to do in the surrounding area?
Marco Novella: Hotel Gritti Palace faces onto the waters of the Grand Canal, with breathtaking views to S.M. della Salute Church. It is in a very peaceful corner of Venice, with some of the best shopping in the city just a few steps away. Walking in the area is interesting because of the many historical attractions, the numerous museums, and the beautiful views of the Grand Canal from the Accademia Bridge. It is a very safe area.
Five Star Alliance: What is the hardest part about being General Manager? If you could change one thing about the hotel, what would that be?
Marco Novella: I am very satisfied with the associates of Hotel Gritti Palace and its guests are among the best I have encountered in my professional life.
Five Star Alliance: Other than your own, can you share your choices of two or three of what you consider to be the greatest hotels in the world? And why you think they are special?
Marco Novella: The St. Regis Grand Hotel in Rome is special because of its history and of its present state. It was created by the legendary hotelier Cesar Ritz. Today, after its refurbishment completed in 2000, it offers an extremely high level of service and an excellent sense of hospitality.
Five Star Alliance: Anything else you would like our readers to know about your property?
Marco Novella: Hotel Gritti Palace is the most sought after hotel for art collectors during the Biennale. Its terrace is the best place in Venice for enjoying a tasteful Venetian meal or a cocktail. It is an excellent place for socializing and encountering interesting people.

Marie Antoinette Offer at the Hotel de Crillon, Paris
Now showing at the glass-roofed Grand Palais in Paris: the Marie Antoinette exhibition. The public's obsession with the big-spender of a Queen continues to this day, and Sofia Coppola's film did a fine job dreaming up the Queen's world in all its excessive finery.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL
In addition to some of the above, I do test on IE5.0 (since I have it on my old machine) - although it is a bit 'strange' sometimes!
I do turn the styles off in Firefox to make sure it's still readable, navigable and things are in the correct order.
Is anyone able to get multiple copies of IE and/or Firefox installed on their system?
Going a little off topic I think, but hey.... I've not tried myself, but I understand you can simply install Firefox in different directories. IE, however, is difficult (although not impossible) as it likes to "take over".
Peter-Paul Koch has written a page that goes into detail about installing different versions of IE...
[added]Or use something like VMWare to create virtual machines, each with their own version of IE[/added]
Does anyone have statistics on what users are typically browsing with these days, and in what proportions?
I don't bother with Opera yet, as in a work environment, it's browser share isn't worth spending time (and therefore money) to support.
Unfortunately, ie5.5 is still persistent enough to have to bother with.
Realistically, the stats I'm seeing, from 10000 visits on one site :-
ie6.0 - 88.65%
Firefox 1.5 - 4.17%
Firefox 1.0 - 1.32%
ie5.0 - 1.20%
Safari 41 - 1.18%
Safari 31 - 1.03%
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 - 0.96%
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 - 0.71%
Opera 8.x - 0.15%
Opera 9.x - 0.12%
Mozilla 1.7 - 0.12%
Netscape 6.0 - 0.10%
Mozilla - 0.07%
Safari 85 - 0.07%
Safari 12 - 0.02%
Firefox 0.1 - 0.02%
Netscape 7.0 - 0.02%
Netscape 4.6 - 0.02%
Safari 10 - 0.02%
Opera 7.x - 0.02%
Fwiw today we had the stats back from a big UK council site, and after analysis we found that we don't support ~1.1% of the clients that hit their site. They comprised (from memory)
IE5.0/win: 0.7%
Netscape 4: 0.2%
Opera 8&9: 0.1%;
IE5.2/mac: 0.1%;
Clients we do support that seem to be no longer used were Netscape 7.0 and 7.1.
As for Opera, they just haven't caught the public consciousness. Even Firefox is only averaging around 6-7% on this site.
They should go Open Source and change the name ;)
Every so often, I install it, use it for 10 minutes and decide it's not for me. I can't really say why, but I find it ugly. heh. I think it's just the name, as I hate Opera music!
Firefox use continues to spread, due to marketing and word of mouth - I'm suprised it's reached 6% - if the momentum is kept, they could gain 10% of the market.
I admit, as a developer, I'm dreading ie7 and the invevitable quirks that will be introduced, but the simple fact is, in a few years from now, it will be the dominant browser.

After confirming she's engaged to her manager Rich Dollaz, constantly sucking face on "Love & Hip Hop: NY" or for the cameras, and Dollaz dropping by New York City's Power 105.1's "The Breakfast Club" to say he's not engaged to the reality star, Erica Mena is now labeled a homewrecker for ruining Dj Envy's 18 year marriage.
Here's the drop:
"Envy is cheating on his wife with Erica Mena. His wife Gia Caset, just got cast on RHONJ, so it's fair to say this scandal I'm sure will be aired on television."
This news comes about a week after reports revealed the 35-year-old radio personality "begged his wife to take him back" and Rich also responded to the news by saying: "That's what I've Heard."
Also, Gia and Envy are reported to be high school sweethearts with two children and are said to be expecting a third child.

One thing that has been forcefully brought home to me during my efforts to do this little blog thing is that I will never be a successful analyst or pundit. People aren't going to click here to see me say the same old things that are being said on thousands of personal blogs across the Internet and, in most cases, better than I can say them. We all know that the thoroughly contemptible Romney family epitomizes every evil associated with being very rich without ever having had to work to get that way. We also know that MItt and Ann would appear more at home in an SNL skit caricaturing the foibles of the idle rich, who have always been blessed with more money than brains, than standing in front of the TV cameras trying desperately to convince working class people that they're just like us.
Growing up the son of depression era/dustbowl Okies who never had a pot to piss in until well into their middle age, I have always had this unbending contempt and distrust for rich people, especially the idle rich who have done nothing of any benefit to anyone but themselves and made their fortunes by the exploitation of anything and everything on the planet including their fellow human beings. You can whine about that kind of rhetoric being class warfare all you want and I won't do a damned thing except agree with you because that's exactly what it is.
It's not a war that I started and I would much rather it hadn't been started at all, but it was and I'm in it whether I like it or not and I only have two weapons with which to fight my little piece of this war, my vote and my voice neither of which amount to a pinch of monkey shit by themselves but when joined with the votes and the voices of millions of other people, help to create an irresistible force with which to kick ass and take names on the allegedly immoveable object of stupidity that has all but strangled this country over the past thirty or so years.
To those on the left that sit and whine about "not being able" to make a difference and threatening to stay home next Tuesday because you haven't gotten everything you wanted for the past four years, I say this: "F%$# you! You've goddamned sure gotten more this past four years than you would have gotten under a McCain/Palin administration and what you'll get from Romney and Ryan... should they win by default because you didn't have the balls to even cast a vote keep them out... isn't even a fit subject for discussion.
So go ahead and make your little gesture and cast your little protest vote and if Romney and Ryan get elected because you wanted to send some %$!ing "message" to the Democrats just remember... you drug millions of other people down with you and they aren't likely to forget that. I know I'm not going to.

Amy Daniels
Before she was named Assistant Director of Public Health Research at Autism Speaks in 2012, Amy Daniels was a globe-trotter. As an Asian studies major, she spent her junior year abroad at Peking University. After college, Daniels went to Ukraine as a Peace Corps volunteer, teaching English at a secondary school and leading youth programs at a social services center for vulnerable children. There, she interacted extensively with children with disabilities, who are often the most neglected in society and often institutionalized. She was struck by both the stark disparities in care and the importance of public health for addressing these children's substantial needs.
Daniels continued her odyssey with the humanitarian aid non-profit AmeriCares, helping to lead the initial response to disasters such as the tsunami that hit Sri Lanka in December 2004. Her work required her to assess post-disaster needs, which sparked an interest in program evaluation and survey methodology. "I'm sure I did it completely wrong," she recalls candidly, "because I didn't have the training yet."
To add that skill and many others, Daniels enrolled at the Bloomberg School. Her master's advisor, Shannon Doocy, PhD '04, who is a faculty member of the JHSPH Center for Refugees and Disaster Response, enlisted Daniels on a project to develop and implement a post-earthquake household survey in Peru. Daniels remembers how excited the JHSPH students were by their survey's value to the communities on the ground.
In 2006, Daniels interned at the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, where she crunched data for a global initiative to assess the mental health systems of low- and middle-income countries. It was here that her experiences with program evaluation, needs assessment, and child health and development coalesced and led to pursuing a doctorate in public health in the Department of Mental Health.
Daniels credits her current position at Autism Speaks to networking with as many people from as many backgrounds as possible, and making connections with other students and faculty who "came from different experiences, different levels of knowledge and expertise," yet were "open to sharing their experiences and working together." She describes her advisor, Philip Leaf, and another mentor, David Mandell, as "rock stars" in their respective fields of child mental health services and autism services and policy.
Daniels had analyzed data from the Interactive Autism Network (IAN) research database at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, but after finishing her PhD, she wasn't entirely committed to academia and considered returning to a nonprofit. Mandell introduced Daniels to a senior staff at Autism Speaks who later hired her. The more she learned about what the organization was doing in the realms of international public health, the more interested she became.
Daniels observes that while individual children are the public face of autism, "there are commonalities. Taking a public health approach helps understand those commonalities and how they translate into challenges and needs at the population level." Autism is not just defined by core symptoms, such as repetitive behaviors and difficulties with social interaction, but is also accompanied by a wide range of difficulties, from co-morbid health conditions to access to care, that make it very much a public health issue.
Daniels is involved in overseeing and promoting a variety of public health research projects supported by Autism Speaks, including field testing of interventions and studies on risk factors and etiology, particularly genetic and gene environment perspectives. On the global front, she oversees activities in Europe and countries of the former Soviet Union as part of the organization's Global Autism Public Health initiative.
Finally, Daniels noted that autism may be even more common than is currently believed. The most recent US prevalence estimate is 1 in 68, based on the CDC-funded Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network Study. But researchers in South Korea, using more rigorous methodology, found a 1 in 38 prevalence. Findings from the Korea study may indicate that the prevalence of autism in the United States is a significant underestimate. "Regardless of the numbers, what is clear," Daniels' notes, "is that existing services are not meeting the growing population and needs of individuals on the spectrum." As Autism Speaks continues to probe for answers to the puzzle of autism and provide solutions for families, Daniels is combining her passion for serving children with special health needs and her experience in brokering collaborative, evidence-based programs to benefit underserved and marginalized populations.

A child's age is one of the most important factors
in considering how to begin a discussion on any subject dealing
with prejudice, discrimination or, more simply, the things that
make people different. The most important thing to keep in mind
is that it is never too early, or too late, to talk to children
about respecting diversity.
During preschool years, children begin to notice
physical aspects of identity. At about age 2, children become increasingly
aware of gender. This is followed by curiosity about skin color,
hair color and texture, eye shape and color, and other physical
attributes. Awareness of disabilities tends to come later; however,
some toddlers begin noticing more obvious disabilities, such as
a person using a wheelchair. Usually between the ages of 2 and 3,
children will begin to notice cultural aspects of gender influence.
For example, they may take note of the fact that girls tend to play
with dolls while boys play with trucks. They may also begin to recognize
ethnic differences, noticing that children eat different foods and
celebrate different holidays or, conversely, do not celebrate or
recognize certain holidays. As they begin to notice differences,
2-year olds may show signs of "pre-prejudice"-they may act afraid
or uncomfortable. Not necessarily possessing the vocabulary to express
their concerns, they may avoid or ignore a child they perceive to
be different.
Three- and 4-year-olds begin to expand observations
of differences and seek explanations for those differences. They
show a greater awareness of their own and other's appearances. They
ask questions about where they got their own skin, hair, and eye
color, or why certain groups of people are called names that reflect
colors other than what they are.
It is not unusual for them to ask questions
such as, "Will I always be this color or will it change as I grow
up? Why doesn't my best friend have the same color skin as me? Why
does daddy have brown hair and I have black hair?"
Five-year-olds begin to build a group ethnic
identity, as well as an individual identity. They can more fully
explore the range of differences within and between racial and ethnic
groups as well as the range of similarities between groups. They
can now begin to understand scientific explanations for differences
in skin color, hair texture, and eye shape. They accept the use
of categories and seek to know where they themselves fit.
It is essential to keep these stages of development
in mind when addressing issues of diversity with preschoolers. What
is in a child's environment (as well as what is absent) provides
children with important information about who and what is important.
Therefore every effort should be made to create a setting that is
rich in possibilities for exploring cultural diversity. Consider
decorating their rooms with objects made from a variety of materials;
if they are enrolled in a formal preschool program, work with the
teacher to see that their classroom follows suit. Play music with
words from different languages and try to introduce games from around
the world. Try art projects that introduce various cultural traditions.
Folk dancing and storytelling are two especially effective ways
to introduce children to other cultures.
Creating an environment rich in possibilities
for exploring diversity
When deciding which materials to include in
a child's room or in a preschool classroom, do not inadvertently
display pictures, books, or objects that reinforce stereotypes.
Instead, show people within cultural groups enjoying a range of
customs and activities, living in a variety of settings, and belonging
to various socioeconomic groups as well as single-parent, two-parent,
or extended family homes. In addition, it is important not to confuse
images of past ways of life of a group with its contemporary life
or confuse images of people's ceremonial or holiday life with their
daily lives.

Too expensive! Way too expensive!
It looks nice, nut ill take the V2 over it.
but not nut, than again you'll have to be a nut to pay that much for it :)
The use of this camera with an adapter could be beneficial for people wanting to take photo's of birds. It'll be like having this huge telephoto lens but without the bulk and the costs, and good IQ at low to moderate ISO.
Eddie, I have heard a lot of positive things about using the 1 cameras for shooting birds.
Another alternative is the Pentax Q7, not quite as fast but a smaller sensor with huge 4.6 crop factor!
Average camera with a ridiculous price.
So the camera offers 20fps burst mode with full AF using the electronic shutter as I understand. What then is the advantage of the mechanical shutter at 6fps? Are there still issues with artefacts using an electronic shutter?
@Andrew AFAIK with the V1 the electronic shutter could only flash sync to 1/60 shutter speed, the mechanical to 1/250 so that is the only reason I use the mechanical
I'd love to have it, but what can I use at sea Dasat ... because I wanted to swim once in photos
Andrew - I might be wrong, but I think when you use an electronic shutter it can cause the 'Rolling Shutter Jelly effect'........That may not be the technical term!
Basicly when you pan the camera too fast it can cause the image to distort, it happens when shooting movies, but I think it also happens for stills.
Nikon One shit , size matters. this mast be the worst camera of the year.
I would buy one, but will wait for a better price. I still have my 1v1 and despite much negative press, in practice it is a fine camera.
I don't see the point of making unfavourable comparisons with other cameras, the 1 series is what it is and if that suits you then great,. I use mine alongside my em5 and fuji xpro1, the fact I get better IQ out of the other cameras does not prevent my using the 1v1. It's quite a fun camera if you don't take yourself too seriously, save that for the photography.
I have been doing macros of butterflies etc… with Nikon SLR's for 55 years, and now try to use a Nikon 1 J3 to keep using my old lenses, microscope, telescope, etc with the ( costly ) Nikon adapter .
Its kit lens ( 10-30mm ) provides about 4x6m cm of minimal field , at the minimal distance 20cm and max zoom . Which is valuable for shooting large insects, then not requiring the bulky old macro lenses .
But such macro absolutely requires manual focusing, typically achieved by presetting the distance (when a focus ring exists), and then moving the camera back and forth while observing the insect's sharpness in the image.
This is in principle feasible with the Nikon 1 and its kit lens , in manual focus mode. But it is very unpractical to set, and the manual setting suddenly vanishes, reversing to autofocus, when pressing the video record button ! Trying to record video in macro is thus a disaster since the autofocus tends to lock on the remote background and blur the foreground butterfly which required so much effort to approach by crawling without scaring it away.
Thanks for suggestions ( other than discarding the kit lens ).

Spring Cleaning--Blog Edition
I'm so excited for Spring--the BEST season in Houston--that I've started my Spring cleaning already...but only on the blog. You can view my HOME Seasonal Cleaning Schedule
if you're ready to start Spring cleaning your house.
Just like our homes, our blogs get a little messy and need to be tidied up. Here are a few things to make your blog look a little cleaner.
1. Check for broken links. There is nothing more frustrating while reading blogs than to find broken links to content that you really wanted to read.
Use this
Broken Link Checker
to show you your broken links. I only had one!
2. Assess the clutter on your side bars. Does your sidebar clutter outweigh your amazing content?? Consider downsizing your sidebars or moving to a two column sidebar to make things easier on the eye.
3. Post Labels--Have a look through your entire content. Do you see themes? Consider making those themes a tab so others can see your content easier.
4. Do you have great content from when you only had a few followers? I do!! Since I've started using
, blog post traffic to older posts has increased greatly. Inlinkz also gives my in page links visual interest instead of using a boring hyperlink.
...My Projects Page really is a Gallery now. Just Gawjus.
5. Blog Email-- is your inbox on the out?? Filled the the brim? Consider setting up filters to send emails to certain folders. To keep a clean inbox be sure to archive older emails. This changed my life.
If anyone can figure out a way to fix broken photos or a way to locate all broken photos. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!
I hope this helped you. Can you think of some simple blog tidying solutions? Post int he comments section. Also, How many broken links did you have? Go on...tell me..or I'll just have a looksy for myself...attention big bloggers...you've got some broken linkkkkkks.
