DC's Other Woman: Rosslyn, Virginia
Le Méridien Arlington: • Arlington, VA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Room, Thursdays through Sundays
- One $25 Dining Credit Toward Amuse Restaurant and Lounge
- Valet Parking for One Car
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers to Extend Stay
The Destination
Due to an act of Congress, the buildings in Washington, DC, are prevented from exceeding the height of the city's iconic monuments—which is why the glistening skyscrapers of Rosslyn, Virginia, across the Potomac River beckon tourists as an attraction all their own. A short walk across Key Bridge from posh, historic Georgetown, Rosslyn has distinguished itself as an "urban village." Expansive green spaces (including the famous Iwo Jima Memorial) punctuate the footprints of corporate headquarters that give way unexpectedly to tree-lined neighborhoods framed by white picket fences. High-end restaurants, placid parks, and a two-line Metro hub make this spot across the river an ideal home base for exploring the District—or the neighborhood on its own.
The Digs
Sleek, modern, and effortlessly stylish, Le Méridien Arlington is a boutique hotel that, like Rosslyn, isn't afraid to break from the traditional buttoned-up Washington mode. Mere feet from a whole host of restaurants, shops, and the Rosslyn Metro Station, Le Méridien Arlington speaks the language of comfort with guest rooms that feature a warm, contemporary décor, plush bedding, 32-inch flat-screen TVs, and valet parking. An on-site Italian restaurant, Amuse, offers innovative European dishes and a terrace that overlooks the Potomac River, and a conference room and fitness center enable you to stay connected to your everyday routine.
The Diversions
• Enjoy a romantic dinner at The Federalist
• Tour Georgetown and Arlington by open-top bus and by boat with Open Top Sightseeing
• Escape to some green space with a tour of the expansive Tudor Place

Second séjour à Prague à cette adresse.Je suis aussi satisfaite des prestations qu'offre cet appartement que lors de mon séjour précédent.J'ajoute que la proximité du parking ainsi que son prix et un plus très important.Le personnel de la réception ainsi que le service qui veille à l'entretien du ménage sont disponibles et très aimables ce qui n'était pas toujours le cas dans les hôtels ,c'est d'ailleurs une des raisons qui m'a amenée à essayer la formule appartement qui me convient beaucoup mieux.
Very satisfied with the appartement.Avons have changed apartment without terrace against apartment with terrace .We have many appreciate the change that happened without difficulté.La location of the apartment was ideal; near my daughter's in a square full of history near the place of the clock, not far from the Charles Bridge but Prague is a city in which you can browse without realizing 15 to 20 km in the journée.Pour me this town is full of magical surprises impossible not to succumb to his charme.Je think I will need to come here to you régulièrement.Merci Ondrey your contact when booking was very chaleureux.L The apartment had everything we besoin.L'espace was enough for three people and it was very well tenu.A hopefully soon.
Très satisfaite de l'appartement.Avons pu changer appartement sans terrasse contre appart avec terrasse .Nous avons beaucoup apprécier cette modification qui s'est passée sans difficulté.La situation de l'appartement était idéale; près de celui de ma fille ,sur une place chargée d'histoire proche de la place de l'horloge,non loin du pont Charles mais Prague est une ville dans laquelle on peut parcourir sans s'en rendre compte 15 à 20 km dans la journée.Pour moi cette ville est magique pleine de surprises impossible de ne pas succomber à son charme.Je pense qu'il me sera indispensable d'y venir régulièrement.Merci à vous Ondrey votre contact lors de la réservation a été très chaleureux.L'appartement disposait de tout ce que nous avions besoin.L'espace était suffisant pour trois personnes et il était trés bien tenu.A bientôt je l'espère .
This studio is located just next to exit of the Mustek Station Line A. The equipments of kitchen was fully placed and clean. However it was slightly different from the picture the owner served by internet aspect of organization of the studio. You'll be assigned one of the many apatment, may not be what you checked.
The noise of boiler(I'm not sure) or generator was annoying me while I was staying. If you don't care a little of noise, It is worth to stay comfortable.

Having rented some real good apartments in Prague.
So I was really excited to see if I was going to be as lucky again as the last
And to that I must say this is probably the fastest acceptance of an apartment I've had 1 ½ minutes after I sent my request, so was ready with a confirmation, while attached they all relevandte information you would use when lands in Prague.
They offer transportation to and from the airport by limusine drive for only 600 CZK. taxis takes at least 550 Czk, and lots of times experienced they take much more.
When arriving at the reciption charge of renting out the apartment, you are greeted with a big smile, you get your keys (1000 czk deposit that you get back on departure) quickly and easy and convenient it was, the entire enrollment took under 5 my.
In respect of the apartment, so it was in really good condition, it has everything you need, there is cleaning every day, just like normal hotels, there is something that does not work as our safe, then they got there five minutes after and got it resolved.
The apartment is located inside the back of a backyard, where there is no noise, they have the most wonderful beds to sleep in. There is everything an apartment having incl washer / dishwashers etc etc etc.
Has Words of praise for the landlord and the apartment.
by delivery of the key it was like in a hotel than in recptionen and return the key again, and so was our driver and waited we were going to the airport again.
On scale of 1 to 10, would this landlord definitely get a big nice 10 numbers
Thank you for a wonderful week in Prague, which helped to give us due to your good service
The best greetings
Kim and Christian
Very nice apartment with a good location (about 15 minutes from the train station and 15 minutes to the center). For groups up to 10 persons super as well and 3 times WC.
Apartment and rooms were clean.
Sehr schöne Wohnung mit guter Lage (ca. 15min vom Bahnhof und 15min ins Zentrum). Für Gruppen bis 10 Personen super, da auch auch 3mal WC vorhanden.
Wohnung und Zimmer waren sauber.
We've been in Prague but this place was awesome.
Wenceslas Square right in the middle, what more could you want.
We were all very pleased unhd will book again.
Wir waren schon oft in Prag aber diese Unterkunft war der Hammer.
Wenzelsplatz mittendrin, was will man mehr.
Wir waren alle sehr sehr zufrieden unhd werden immer wieder buchen.
Very nice and clean new apartment, excellent position in the middle of the city, all nice places in Prague can be reached easily by walking. Many good restaurant near by, Metro station just few steps away. Central rail station just around the corner.
Very satisfactory stay.
Magnificent apartment with all basic needs. Location is perfect, we could visit all within walking distance. Every day, a few cleaners along which the apartment again a little clearing, perfect for a large group. Only thing is that there is only one shower for everyone, for the rest, this apartment is perfect!
Prachtig appartement voorzien van alle basisbehoeften. Ligging is perfect, wij konden alles op loopafstand bezoeken. Iedere dag komen een paar schoonmaaksters langs die het appartement weer een beetje opruimen, ideaal voor een grote groep. Enige minpunt is dat er slechts 1 douche is voor iedereen, voor de rest is dit appartement perfect!
Great place, great location, great service. Everything top! Always my pleasure!

Town Square
Facebook and College Terrace and Palo Alto
Original post made by Paul Losch, a resident of Palo Alto, on Feb 10, 2011
FACT: the office complex that Facebook has occupied of late was several years ago negotiated to change to housing for Stanford employees. Agilent/HP was the previous tenant, but it is not a commercial space much longer. Facebook had to move.
DISAPPOINTMENT: I am not clear how hard Palo Alto tried to keep Facebook in town. There is commercial space in the Stanford Industrial Park. There may be a policy issue for our City Council about attracting and retaining major employers.
CULTURE QUESTIONS: The former Sun campus in MP is a very fine facility, but it is hard to get to by means other than automobile. I wonder how this will affect the culture of the Facebook and how it attracts and retains the type of employee to the company
Great eating on that former Sun campus, nada if you want to get out. Since these folks seem to work at all hours, I hope the food services operation will be geared to such an environment. Palo Alto could have used this to our advantage, given all the great places we have for eating.
CRITICISM: I honestly do not understand what some vocal members of College Terrace want. There is a rich history for this part of Palo Alto, dating to Jane Stanford back in the day. It also is unclear if the sentiments of the neighborhood that get press coverage reflect the views of a few, or of many.
What defines a neighbor, anyway?
A few people can make a difference, as I have observed in my Community Center neighborhood when the idea of a public restroom at Eleanor Pardee Park was basically killed by some neighbors who feared it would change the character of the park. This despite positive outcomes in other neighborhood parks in town when a restroom facility was built.
REVENUE STRATEGY: I have been of the opinion for years that Palo Alto lacks a revenue strategy. I have told City Council members about this in formal and informal comments, and written about it in our local papers. And we let Facebook go away?
Lots of issues here, part of living in a very complicated community.

Paul, I completely agree with you. I think it is a big loss for the City, not only to lose such a profitable business and employer such as Facebook, but to turn into a sleepy residential housing is even worse. Palo Alto is lively and hip, but it seems the City and some vocal residents of College Terrace want to turn it into boring Atherton.

You raise some good points and for once I think you are blogging about something that this community should be concerned about.
Facebook started as a Palo Alto business and moved to its present site knowing that it would be short term. It was bound to move somewhere and it is really a shame that it had to move outside our city. We will miss them in many ways.
What is wrong is that Palo Alto and College Terrace seem to have got a bad rap from this. Whether Facebook looked for somewhere in Palo Alto and failed to find a suitable location is a good question. But even more important is the attitude that Palo Alto appears to have to promoting business. Whether it is retail, high tech or anything else (Stanford included) we are getting the reputation for being unfriendly towards business.
Nimbys, Palo Alto process, traffic and infrastructure, always seem to stand in the way of anything remotely sounding like attracting business whenever the possibility occurs. We are getting to be nothing but housing for commuters who travel outside the city and the only attraction for the housing is the schools.
Our City is looking tired compared to our neighbors. We need to start attracting business and retail. We need to slow down on housing and put more thought into making this city a pleasant place to live, work and provide recreation facilities. We need to move into the 21st century with state of the art facilities and attract innovative business and useful retail.
Facebook moving out of Palo Alto should be a wake up call as we wonder who will be next to leave.

Our city and the council do not know what they want--the talk about walkable neighborhoods, yet allow two neighborhood shopping centers to be lost. They say they want people to bike and walk, yet they want revenue form car dealerships. They want people to come to town to spend money, yet they constantly whine about "too much traffic".
Our councilmembers (and it does not matter who they are) are constantly working on their pet projects (ie. climate change) or are bulking up their resumes. When things go wrong (i.e PACT, utilities scandal, budget shortfalls etc) the council members (including lawyers, executives etc) claim they were misled or did not know.
As for College Terrace they seem to have the council wound around their little fingers--they get a remodeled library, endless traffic calming, permit parking, an unwritten rule that grocery stores cannot be too big so that it will not compete with their neighborhood store etc. Is it all of CT or just a whiny few? Who knows and who cares--bottom line College Terrace says jump and the council asks "how high?". To bad the rest of the city doe snot get the consideration that CT does
Even if Facebook could have stayed, why would they--they do not have the time to deal with a neighborhood with insatiable demands--i.e. Facebook runs shuttles to cut down on traffic--College Terrace whines about the shuttles!!!
I hope that the city takes a major financial hit from Facebook leaving. Maybe that will be a wake up all call that the city as a whole needs to be considered not just the selfish needs of a neighborhood who believe that the universe revolves around their petty desires.

Three errors, Paul L. First, Stanford controls the Industrial Park, not the city. Second, Sun operated a very busy CalTrain shuttle bus while it was located on that campus. Third, there is a whole slew of eateries within easy walking distance.
I think Facebook's operation just got too big for any available location in Palo Alto. The city built its vacant land out to residences in the fifties and sixties; there is no suitable facility or vacant tract of land left. Plus, a pan-flasher like Facebook has to act fast before its wings melt (recall former-giant flameouts like Netscape and, ironically, Sun Microsystems). Facebook cannot afford the time to build a large facility.

Paul of DTN--
The industrial park is indeed Stanford owned property, and the City of Palo Alto gets numerous revenue streams from the businesses that operate there. As I said, I am not clear what effort was made by Palo Alto officials to find a place in Palo Alto, be it in the Stanford Industrial Park, or elsewhere in the city.
You correctly observe that Sun operated a shuttle system to bring employees to and from campus. My understanding of the Facebook culture is that a large proportion of them walked or biked to work. I do not perceive the former Sun campus to be a walkable or bikeable venue. What's the impact on the culture of Facebook? Well beyond my job description, but it presents a different environment for people who work there. I hope they follow the Sun shuttle system model as part of way they run that campus.
Please tell me what the eateries are within easy (and safe) walking distance of that campus, other than the usual fast food chains on Willow Road.
Time will tell what happens to Facebook as a company. Numerous companies in this part of the world have multiple locations. As nice as it may be to have one location for employees, it eventually is not feasible when a company enjoys continued success. Facebook has options on other land parcels in MP, so they clearly plan to have their footprint there, and it remains a sad development that the company will have no commercial presence in Palo Alto.

Palo Alto was here before Facebook, it will be here when they leave. Google moved from PA to MV in 1999. The world didn't implode.
True, Palo Alto, needs to stop scaring away business. But, the core of this city is not in any single business. Now, if Stanford decided to up and leave, that'd be a totally different story...
The city should also be looking at cutting costs more aggressively. Whenever I hear the city complain that they MIGHT have to lay someone off, I cringe. Companies have been laying people off for the past 2 years now.

Sorry, I know this may sound crazy, but I disagree that isn't any available room in Palo Alto for a new "research park" campus. The city has plenty of land that could be used and it's near a major highway. Palo Alto just happens to be wasting this this valuable resource on the golf course and airport.

Story highlights
- Shigeru Ban is the third Japanese architect to win the Pritzker Prize in five years
- Ban has spent two decades building structures for victims of natural disasters
- He has built cathedrals from cardboard tubes and homes from beer crates
Shigeru Ban, the 57-year-old winner of this year's Pritzker Prize -- arguably the world's most prestigious architecture award -- is the Rumpelstiltskin of building design.
For more than two decades he has taken simple materials, including paper and cardboard, and created life-changing structures for people impacted by natural disasters.
In the aftermath of the 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan, Ban built temporary homes for Vietnamese refugees using beer crates filled with sandbags.
In 2011, after an earthquake and tsunami devastated large parts of Japan, Ban crafted homes from shipping containers.
Last year he erected a cathedral made out of cardboard paper tubes for the people of Christchurch, New Zealand.
From Haiti to Rwanda to China, his low-cost structures become symbols of hope for people rebuilding their lives.
"For me there is no difference between monumental architecture and temporary structures in disaster areas," he tells CNN. "They give me the same kind of satisfaction."
Ban is the second Japanese artist in a row to win the prestigious award, following on from last year's winner Toyo Ito.
Tom Pritzker, Chairman and President of The Hyatt Foundation, which sponsors the Pritzker Prize, said: "He is an outstanding architect who, for twenty years, has been responding with creativity and high quality design to extreme situations caused by devastating natural disasters. His buildings provide shelter, community centers, and spiritual places for those who have suffered tremendous loss and destruction."
Congratulations on winning the Pritzker Prize. Where were you when you heard the news?
I was driving in Tokyo and I got the phone call from [executive director of the Pritzker Architecture Prize] Martha Thorne. Since I was on the jury from 2006 to 2009, I thought she was just joking. I had to stop and park the car.
You've earned global recognition for bridging the humanitarian and aesthetic aspects of architecture. Was it really such a surprise that you had won?
Honestly, it was a big surprise. I didn't expect it. As a juror I knew the level of the past winners and I didn't think I was at that level. But then it was explained to me that this year the jury considered not only the argument of architecture, but also my activities in disaster areas for 20 years. I carry on both activities simultaneously. So I thought this was not awarded because I reached a certain level as an architect, but as encouragement for me to continue working in disaster areas as well as designing architecture.
Even more opportunities will now come your way. Is there a risk this prize could actually distract you from continuing your humanitarian work?
When some people receive a big award there are more opportunities for their projects and to expand their offices. I don't want to make my office bigger. I like to design everything by myself and to go to the sites. I want to keep working in disaster areas. If I get more projects then I can spend less time on each project and I don't want to lower the quality of each project. I think we have to be very careful to keep doing the same things, as we have done.
How did the idea of working with cardboard come to you?
The strength and durability of a building has nothing to do with the material. Even a building built in concrete can be destroyed very easily. There can be a permanent building made out of cardboard tubes. In fact many of my temporary buildings have become permanent. When I first used the cardboard tube for the interior I knew this is strong enough to be a part of the structure.
Starchitects tend to devote the bulk of their time to glamorous commissions. What drove you to disaster relief?
I was very disappointed about our profession. I thought that as architects we could work more for society. Historically speaking, architecture clients are people who had the money and the power. They wanted to visualize power and money with monumental architecture. That was the architect's basic job historically. I'm not saying that is a bad thing. I also want to make a monument. But I thought we should use our experience and knowledge for the public and victims of natural disasters too. I get the same satisfaction when I design a building for a disaster. There is no difference. The only difference is I am not paid. It's pro bono.
Are there young architects in the pipeline who want to follow in your footsteps?
When I give the lecture I always feel a strong reaction from young architects and students. They are interested in working for society and joining my team. When I was a student we used to think, "I want to be a starchitect and big developer." The attitudes of young people are changing and I feel that. If I have been able to help. I think this is my biggest pleasure.
Do you have any advice for those who want to go into "disaster architecture"?
I appreciate when people want to come and join my team and do this work. But instead of just working in a disaster area it's important to travel a lot and to experience different cultures, different climates. It's important for them to be good architects first.

It's EZ pass. You don't need a tin-foil hat on to see all the damn RFID readers going up on side of the highways.
I wouldn't have one. My son is fighting with the City of Houston now over his EZ Pass. He was paying his with a deduction from a credit card. Forgot about it and had canceled the credit card. No notification from them or anything. They let him ride the beltway for over a year, then came after him for unpaid tolls and thousands of $ worth of late fees. He's been driving the back roads to work and avoiding the toll roads since then.

The TP-20 lift is an above-ground, two-post model with a capacity of 20,000 pounds. It is designed to lift loaded utility trucks, fleet and passenger vehicles, and other machines. Using double-telescoping swing arms and slider, it bolts to a garage's floor and has adjustable-height overhead hydraulic lines. Its safety system includes all-position mechanical safety locks, electric and hydraulic synchronization, pressure-compensated flow control, and velocity fuse valving. Mohawk Resources Ltd. www.mohawklifts.com..
Heavy-duty scissor lifts
HDXL 900 scissor lifts offer capacities ranging from 20,000 to 132,000 pounds, and platform lengths from 19 feet 8 inches to 54 feet 2 inches. Each lift has solid steel construction with sealed bronze and graphite pivot points for durability. Up-and-down movement of the four cylinders is synchronized with electronic position feedback servers. Other features include an overload safety valve, intelligent hydraulics, and advanced programmable logic controls. Choose from surface- and flush-mounted units. Automotive Resources Inc. www.ari-hetra.com..
Light-duty lift
The Pro Park 9 Plus vehicle lift is a four-post lift with a capacity of up to 9000 pounds. The unit can be used to double the available parking in a fleet garage or other facility without expanding floor space—drive a vehicle onto the lift, then raise it to create sufficient space underneath to park another vehicle. The clearance under the lift in its top lock position is 80 inches. The lift has a lock ladder leveling system, steel approach ramps, single-point lock release, and a caster kit with polyurethane wheels. A jack tray and drip trays are available. Direct Lift. www.directlift.com..
In-ground lift
The CS1020WV in-ground lift has three-stage arms, allowing it to pick up either light-duty trucks or passenger vehicles. The in-ground design enables a cleaner shop appearance. The arms provide added sweep, letting the operator use the lift on a wide range of designated vehicle pick-up points. Also, the lift can raise vehicles either symmetrically or asymmetrically, depending on the mechanic's needs. Total lift capacity is 10,000 pounds. Challenger Lifts. www.challengerlifts.com..
Pickup truck lift
The company's heavy-duty model is geared toward servicing pickup trucks, including extended-cab models. It accepts wheelbases up to 168 inches. The lift elevates the bottom of the vehicles tires to 20 inches above the floor, which raises the average chassis to 30 inches off the ground. The ramps are 19 inches wide, and the unit's width and length are fully adjustable. The rear legs lock up or down. In addition, the product is portable—it can be assembled or disassembled quickly, and users can store it flat or stack it in the corner of the garage. KwikLift Inc. www.kwiklift.com..
Four-post lift
Three new durable four-post lifts offer capacities of 40,000 to 60,000 pounds. The units can be used to service medium- and heavy-duty trucks, buses, and other large vehicles. Safety latches in each leg and non-skid runways make the lifts safe and easy to drive on. The front-wheel stops can be replaced with optional drive-through ramps. Other options include an internal air-line kit, turning radius gauges, power-unit cover, oil drain pans, single- and three-phase motors, and custom paint colors. In addition, alignment models with turnable cutouts for two-wheel alignment are available. Rotary Lift. www.rotarylift.com..

Re: OSCP in current state ?
globus wrote:One more question :
Is it better to take 1 month labs and if I need more time than buy additional time or it is better to take straight 3 months from the start?
Really depends on how much of an issue the cost is to you and how deep you want to go into the topics within that time.
Given the amount of time you can dedicate to it, I'd go for 30 days to start with. After the 30 days are up you can work on any areas you need too without wasting lab time. After that you should have an idea of how much extra lab time you'll need. This approach is only going to cost you an additional $50 if you were to add an extra 30 days to the initial 30 days.
I won the PWB course here last year with 30 days lab time, I'd originally planned to do the course myself with 90 days lab time. However, having used the first 30 days, I'm swaying towards to just extending by 30 days rather than 60 days, and I can't nearly spend as much time a day as you can.
Without the pressure of the lab clock ticking down, I've been able to research some topics far more deeply than perhaps I would have done otherwise.
Have you seen this review?:
http://blog.g0tmi1k.com/2011/07/review- ... k-pwb.html
We all learn differently and do so at different speeds. Also we all have different background experience and not everyone can put in the same about of time. Having now completed the course, I would say if you want to "just pass" the course and can put a good couple of hours in each day then you could get away with doing 30 days - at a push. However, if you want to take your time, learn it and (try to) "do it all", I would recommend 60+ days in the lab. I started off with 30 days, with the hope of cramming it all in as I could spend 8+ hours a day on it. In the end, it took me a solid 30 days in the labs (not including any of the exercises before the lab work), so I ended up extending it by 15 days. If I was to do it again, I'd opt for 60 days and pace myself better.

"Q: What was the best team moment of the season?
Tuck: Probably Green Bay. We were at home playing against the quality football team that they are and we just came out with a dominant win like that. Or maybe in San Fran. I would say either one of those two.
Q: What was your best individual play of the year?
Tuck: I don't know, maybe the sace on RG III (Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III).
Q: What is one play or game you could change?
Tuck: There are so many I'm trying to narrow them down. A game I could have back, probably Washington in Washington. A play, I don't know. I don't know what play it would be. I have a few on my mind but I can't narrow it down.
Q: What are your plans or goals for the offseason?
Tuck: Just work my butt off to become Justin Tuck of old. Do whatever I can do as a leader in a leadership role to prepare this team for a championship run next year. And get some rest and just come back knowing that regardless of what happened this year, we still have a very quality football team that could put it all together again next year and have an epic 2013.

Re: Foodology
At the time I joined this forum this thread was going strong, and before I could quite understand what it was all about it sort of ended.
But recently I was thinking how good it would be to have a thread about dinner guests coming ~ and sorting out what we were planning and how it all went.
And then I had a lightbulb sort of "I bet THAT's what the Foodology thread was all about!
I was right I think!
So should I write about my dinner guests here? At the end of a long thread that hasn't been very active for a couple of years?
Or should I start 'Foodology 2' or 'Dinner Guest thread" What do you think?

Blueberry and Raspberry Topping
1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
1 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup water
Combine the raspberries, blueberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil and cook at a boil for 5 minutes, scraping the bottom as needed to keep from burning. Reduce heat to low; simmer the mixture until thick, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Timothy J. Gette
Institute of Texan Cultures names executive director
By James M. Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Jan. 13, 2009)--UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures announces Timothy J. Gette as the museum's new executive director, after a national search yielded more than 60 candidates. Gette begins his duties Feb. 9.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Gette joins UTSA from the Virginia Museum of Natural History, where he served as executive director since March 2004. He succeeds recently retired John L. Davis, the institute's executive director since 2005.
"Our search committee embarked on a comprehensive review of outstanding local and national candidates and agreed overwhelmingly that Tim's experience leading state and private museums makes him uniquely qualified to take the university's museum to the next level," said Jude Valdez, UTSA vice president for community services. "The search lasted a full year. It was important to us to find an individual with the skills to align the museum's proud legacy with the university's 2016 strategic plan, particularly in the areas of education and community outreach."
Gette's museum background includes positions as chief operating officer of the Dallas Museum of Natural History (1999-2003) and director of operations of the Sixth Floor Museum (1997-1999) at Dealey Plaza in Dallas.
Gette received a bachelor's degree in journalism from Angelo State University in San Angelo and a master's in management from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
"I am very pleased to have been selected executive director of UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures," said Gette. "I look forward to coming home to Texas after five years in Virginia. The ITC has told the story of Texans and our cultures since 1968, and I am motivated by the prospect of finding fresh new ways to share these important accounts while identifying new stories that need to be told."
Established as the Texas State Exhibits Building for HemisFair in 1968 and later designated a campus of The University of Texas at San Antonio, UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures tells the stories of Texas' diverse citizens and invites guests to join in the celebration of Texas' multicultural heritage. Home to the Texas Folklife Festival, Asian Festival and other cultural events, the museum offers a greater understanding of the influence of multiculturalism in the Lone Star State. Information on resources for multiple audiences is available at the Institute of Texan Cultures Web site.

Manitou rolls on despite flooding
MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo July 15th, 2013 - The heavy rains that fell Sunday night caused a lot of flooding, but not in Manitou Springs.
The town was hit hard two weeks ago and the danger from flooding will continue for years to come.
But has it hampered tourism?
Michael Cornejo was busy at lunchtime on Monday. His shop, A Spice of Life, has been in Manitou for 20 years. For him, this is home.
"I was born and raised in Colorado," he said.
Cornejo may be a native, but his customers are a mix of people from near and far. Lately, they've been asking about more than just the items on the menu.
"They do ask about it," he said.
He's talking about the floods and fires. For a little more than a year, it's seemed like a dark cloud has hung over this town.
Manitiou Springs is known as a great place to bring families in the summer, but with two fires and a flood in less than 13 months, some people are starting to ask if it's safe to come here.
When they have questions like that the place they usually go to is the Visitor's Center, where the people behind the counter are fielding inquiries.
Marcy Morrison, the Acting COO of the Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce, Visitors Bureau and Office of Economic Development said, "They have heard about the fires, they have heard about the mudslides and they want to know if they can go to the attractions."
While the attractions are open, the natural disasters have affected the tourist trade in Manitou Springs, a place that is heavily reliant on the number of people that walk its streets.
"Compared to 2011, when there were no weather incidents, the numbers are down," said Morrison.
But the fires and floods didn't deter the Eysters, a couple from New Braunfels, Texas. No matter what happens, Colorado offers one thing this time of the year that Texas can't match.
"It's just so nice to get away from the triple-digit-temperatures...and the 90 percent humidity," said Leah Eyster.
Tourism officials are hoping that more people like the Eysters continue to fill up these streets - and cash registers - this summer.

Renata is the perfect landlord.
This apartment is very cosy with a very nice patio. In addition, the apartment is very clean, full equiped and well located. It's perfect for 3-4 people.
When we arrived to the apartment we found that Renata left a lot of brochures and tourist information about Krakow in our own language.
I will come back to Krakow, and I will try to book this apartment again.
Thank you Renata!
Very nice apartment with washing machine. A balcony with wiew over a green and calm garden. Only a few minutes walk to the centre of Krakow. The owner was very kind and helpful. Next time we visit Krakow we want to live in this apartment again. The apartment was clean and fresh.
As soon as we arrived at Apartment Amaryllis, Renata was there to show us around. She was very kind and offered a variety of suggestions where we could go to dinner that night.
The apartment was very clean and the interior was as nice as the pictures show. There was tea in the cupboard and fresh milk in the fridge and Renata even had a flat iron for us ready to use. She made us feel very welcome and the apartment made our stay much more comfortable. We will gladly rent this apartment for our next visit in Kraków.
We stood at the apartment for 2 nights. First to say is, that Renata has been very helpful with inside tips and she was very responsive to emails. The apartment itself is very well located only a comfortable 10 minute walk to the historic city centre, its is very clean and has a view into a beautifully maintained garden. The city is packed with flair and and friendly people. We took the bus to Oświęcim (Auschwitz-Birkenau), which cost about 14 PLN one way, and it took about 1.5hrs to get there.
Below you will find useful information provided my Renata, so I just copy and paste what she has emailed me:
1. the Castle Royal:
There are many exhibition and Each has a separate entrance (there is no combined ticket for all the exhibitions).
I suggest first to visit the Royal Castle in the Wawel Hill in the morning and next The Cathedral.
Tickets for the exhibitions in the Castle costs 18 zł for individual visiting.
Tickets for for individual visitors are issued for specific entrance times.
I suggest to visit the Royal Castle in the Wawel Hill in the morning and see:
- The State rooms (price 18 zł individual visiting)
- Crown Treasury and Armoury (if she likes it) (price 18 zł individual visiting)
- Wawel Architecture and Gardens - (price 18 zł individual visiting)

Prices for the audio tour: normal 20 PLN, reduced 12 PLN
Unfortunately (Exception) - Exhibition: the Royal Private Apartments can only be see with a Polish - or English language guide. Necessary reservation in advance. Order guide service at the Tourist Service Office in the Visitors Center on the Wawel Hill.
The price is 75 zł (English) but the cost of guide service is included in the ticket price. That will be next time ;-)
Tickets can buy in two places:
- In the the main ticket office (is located in the Visitors Center on the Wawel Hill)
- An additional ticket window (open only during the summer season) (located at the Herbowa Gate (Kanonicza Street entrance).
Do not miss to see the temporary exhibition:
Leonardo da Vinci's "Lady with an Ermine" (Tickets: 10 PLN)
2. The Cathedral.
Only: Sigismund Bell, Royal Tombs, Cathedral Museum with tickets (Individual tourists 12,00 zł)
An audio-guided tour around Wawel Cathedral and up the Sigismund Bell tower takes around 30 minutes, the Royal Tombs 10 minutes, and the Cathedral Museum around 20 minutes. Audio guide hire: 7 zł
The ticket office (is located vis a vis the main entrance to the Cathedral)
I suggest to visit too:
http://www.mhk.pl/branches/rynek-underground (The Main Square)
I suggest to visit too:
http://www.mhk.pl/branches/rynek-underground (The Main Square)
and see the Kanonicza Street and on the main square the beautiful sculpture of Mitoraj (next the Town hall Tower) - it's worth seeing.
Thank you Renata - for everything. We will highly recommend you and the apartment. My mum was and still is blown away ;)
Best Regards.
Renata is very friendly, the apartment is very nice, clean, quiet and not far from the old town of Krakow. We spent some wonderful days there!
I had a great stay at Apartment Amaryllis.
The location is very central and quiet.
The apartment is comfortable and with all needed equipment.
Maybe the only very small negatives are that the balcony, which is a bit exposed on the garden side and the internet which was very slow for the last two days.
Renata is very helpful and always available via phone or sms.
Very nice reception by Renata, she explained us about the appartment and about tourist attractions. Perfect communication before arrival, via mail and SMS. Clean and complete appartment, everything was there, fully equipped, with a balcony, nice view and a house cat in the backyard. 10 minutes walk to the main market square, Shops 24/7 around the corner, coffee club downstairs, WIFI for free, public transport (tram) 3 minutes away. All together a big 10/+ !!
Renata is a kind, polite and helpful host.
Her holiday home was clean, well equipped and is situated in a nice location nearby the centre of Krakov.
We can highly recommend this holiday flat to other tourists.
Thomas Haufe and Detlev Fritsche
Wir haben uns im Apartment Amaryllis sehr wohl gefühlt. Unsere Gastgeberin Renata hat uns sehr gut betreut und war auch für besondere Wünsche offen. Vielen Dank noch einmal dafür! Das Apartment hat alles geboten, was für eine Städtetour wichtig ist: Es liegt 5 Minuten zu Fuß von der Innenstadt entfernt; ist dabei aber sehr ruhig, so dass wir uns gut nach unseren Touren erholen konnten. Gleichzeitig gibt es in der Nähe Einkaufsmöglichkeiten für Selbstversorger. Wir können einen Aufenthalt nur empfehlen.

EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM
Retaining the impressive optical performance and large aperture of the original EF 85mm f/1.2L USM, this new medium telephoto lens uses a Ring-type USM, high-speed CPU and optimized algorithms to achieve an autofocus speed approximately 1.8x faster than the original. The high-speed AF and circular aperture create a shallow depth-of-field that brings attention to the subject and blurs the background, which is ideal for portraits and weddings. The floating optical system, which includes an aspherical lens element, suppresses aberrations and ensures excellent imaging performance.

Barefoot Wine & Bubbly Review and Artichoke Cups
12 Sep
I love hosting and going to home parties. I actually was a consultant for "The Body Shop at Home" (yes the cosmetics store in the mall) for 7 years. I did facial, makeup and pedicure parties. They were so fun and I love meeting new people and allowing woman to pamper themselves. I love getting all my friends together to hang out, relax, eat and drink!. I had 10 friends over on Friday night, my kids slept at my mother in laws and I was ready to chill out! My friend Raeshelle is selling these adorable bags and storage bins for Thirty One Gifts!! I earned 200.00 in free products!!! Wooo Hooo!!! I will be giving away one of her adorable bags this fall, but check out her website! The bags are awesome quality and I love the fabric choices and how you can personalize them!
The Best Bag ever!!! The organizing utility tote has 7 outside pockets!! I got one to keep in my mini van to hold all my "Stuff" in the well between the front two seats and it was only 25.00!!!!
I was so excited when I was able to try some delicious wine and champagne from Barefoot Wine and Bubbly!! They sent me their Sweet Red and their Brut Cuv'ee Champagne. I also picked up a bottle of their Moscato for the home party that I hosted on Friday night!
The first wine we tried was the Sweet Red.
Tastes & Delights
Chill out (no seriously, try this chilled) with the ripe, juicy flavors of raspberry, pomegranate and cherry.
Time to Uncork
Summer, summer, summertime!
Perfect Partners
I made a sangria with it. I added tons of fruit. Chopped apples, mango, pineapple, green grapes, and orange slices. All you have to do is pour the bottle of wine in a large pitcher, add one can of diet sprite or ginger ale and all your fruit. Let it marinate for 1 hour. It was amazing and you can eat the fruit with a fork.
I also bought a big bottle of the Moscato at my local liquor store. My friends loved it and they drained the bottle in no time! It was light, fresh and delicious!!
Tastes & Delights
Delightfully sweet with lush fruity aromas. Hints of citrus skip across flavors of juicy peach and ripe apricots. A bright, crisp finish dances in at the end. It's a bit sweeter than our Riesling.
Time to Uncork
Swingin' on the porch swing watchin' the world go by.
Perfect Partners
Tastes & Delights
Green apple, jasmine, hints of kiwi and peach flavors bubble up for a crisp finish. Bubbling with aromas of Chardonnay, it's our most traditional bubbly.
Time to Uncork
Simple moments. Big moments. Everyday moments…

Man arrested in Firth standoff
FIRTH, Idaho - A man was arrested after a three-hour standoff with police and a SWAT team in Firth on Saturday night. Bingham County Sheriff Craig Rowland said 55-year-old Roger Arellano was taken into custody.
The man barricaded himself in a house on Wilson Street near Highway 91 after a fight in an alley that ended with someone getting stabbed.
The standoff ended around 7 p.m. when the SWAT team knocked down the door.
"He went into the house and barricaded himself in there. He wouldn't answer the phone that we threw through the window so we went in and got him out," said Rowland.
"This is something big. Nothing usually happens out here," said a witness who didn't want to be identified.
The Bingham County Sheriff's Office said the stabbing victim was transported to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls to have surgery. Rowland said the victim is Jerry Bunce and he is in stable condition.
Arellano was charged with battery with intent to commit a serious felony.


text: Ok, so i just did my inspection yesterday on my hives and one in particular had a ton of bees in there...I know if I don't add another super, they will more than likely swarm in another couple weeks/month if i leave it as is. However, in the top super, right now they only have ~40% capped.....should I go ahead and add another super or wait another couple days to a week to encourage them to cap a little more before i add....ps. there wes no presense of queen cells/cups so I know im good to go for a while.

Ben çok iyi Manhattan'da bulunan bu daire tavsiye. Biz 7 kişi vardı, ferah. Açıklama gerçeklik ile tutarlıdır. Tuşları, wifi eserlerini almak için Endişeye gerek yok ... 4 yatak odaları için küçük az bir banyo bu çok azdır ve 2 oda çok temiz değil küçük avlu bir görünümü var. Aksi takdirde hoş kalmak ....
Je conseille cet appartement très bien situé dans Manhattan. Il est spacieux, nous étions 7 personnes. La description est conforme à la réalité. Aucun soucis pour récupérer les clefs, le wifi fonctionne ... Les petits moins, 1 salle de bain pour 4 chambres c'est trop peu et 2 des chambres ont une vue sur la minuscule cour intérieur pas très propre. Sinon agréable séjour ....
Windu is the most expensive website to rent an apartment on the face of the earth. Based on an email sent by CityKit (Management Company of the property) the actual cost of the apartment was $2001.00 for 7 days but we paid to Windu 2,421.21. This means 420 (20%) commission. Making this type of commission could be typical in the industry but letting the client to find out about it is very unprofessional. Hiding key information like the location of the apartment is no very professional either (third floor without elevator) Later we realized the apartment was in poor shape and not properly maintained, CityKit totally ignored our request for simple things missing like extra cover and linen for the sofa bed or to send a technician to fix a huge leak on the bathroom sink. Definitely I won't recommend Wimdu to a friend.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Very good location and good size apartment with all the necessities for our party of 8 people. Quite a few restaurants nearby and a subway station just down the street. We had a problem with the radiators that wouldn't stop heating and one of them had a broken knob. We called the agency who were very nice and helpful and sent a man to fix it - it didn't help though... Also it was litterally painful to shower in the apartment because of the water temperature that was constantly changing between either ice cold or burning hot, and that caused us quite a bit of frustration during our stay.
Besides from that the apartment was very nice and clean and with plenty of towels and we enjoyed our stay!
The location of the apartment (Thompson Street/Houston Street) is very good, subway stations are quite nearby and there are lots of supermarkets, shops and restaurants in the neighborhood.
The flat is located on the 3rd floor which is not very convenient with luggage because there is no elevator; unfortunately it could have been cleaner.
This apartment is very compact and 4 flight up (no lift). The beds and pillows are not comfortable and need to be replaced. The hot water supply to the shower is irregular and in winter having cold showers is not pleasant. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone with children or over the age of 50. The location is excellent but it does not offset the negatives.
The location is excellent. In a quieter area but still very close to the hustle and bustle. The subway is just a few minutes walk. Central Park and MoMA are a short walk.
Apartment is decent size for the price. Having two bedrooms separate from living room is nice.
One downside is street noise b/c it is ground level, but we knew that going into it. Just bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
The only bad thing is we discovered our last night that there were cockroaches in the kitchen.... not sure if this apartment is sprayed regularly.
Fantastic Apartment. Just what was required for our week in New York. Very clean and spacious and in a great part of the city.
Warning to everyone interested in this appartment! We whare really disappointed when one day before arrival, and I have had personally contact with David that all was ok according to arrival, we got info to change appartment 17 hours before arriving to NY. Payment was done, in good time. We got a replacement app, bot not in the same quality acc to pictures.:-(
We had a nice stay in that appartment. The location is pretty central and you can reach everything by feet. The appartment itself is small, nice and cozy The only thing we didn't like, was the very noisy first avenue, that seemed to run directly through the bedroom at night. We would book that appartment again.
