The future of luxury retailers will be shaped by five important factors — brand heritage, exclusivity, customer relationship, diversifying business and expanding into high-growth markets. Creativity, differentiation, social responsibility and customer relationship are pivotal for retailers to succeed.

May 29, 2007 around 2pm about 2-3 miles away from my house
Gillett, PA 16925
temps today were in the high 70's
Today I was driving down the road when all of a sudden my windshield was pelleted with something. I'm like WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT! Within seconds I realize that it was a swarm of honeybees!!! I was able to see where they were going but wasnt sure if they would be there later or not (I couldnt go after them right then). Hours later I went and found them right where I last spotted them. I talked to the lady of the closest house and she said that they actually swarmed yesterday just yards away from the original hive in her house. So I guess 1st (known) area swarm was on 5/28/07. I cut the branches and shook them off in a nuc which had drawn out comb. I took my daughter to take pics but she's not too fond of bees - when she was younger she was attacked by yellow jackets.
I went back around 8:30pm to bring them home but must be the 5 frame deep nuc is too small for them all!! They are still hanging all over the front and sides. They must feel "at home" because they are acting aggressive now - got me in the knee. Tomorrow I'll have to take bigger box along with my suit - bad thing is that I have to climb an embankment to get them out.
This is my very first swarm that i've seen airborne!! I have a pic of me when I was around 8 or 9 yrs old standing next to a swarm that had landed on a tree limb. And now 27-28 yrs later I have another pic of me beside a swarm.
I guess I'll double post this in the photogallery with pics

Artesian water opened up the Outback and the unique town of Eulo (population 48) due to its position on tue banks of the pristine Paroo River. A memorable time can be had swimming, fishing, yabbying and camping under the stars on the river banks.
If totally secluded camping is your thing, head west across the river and turn left after 900 metres. This sign posted track will take you to the absolute peace and tranquillity of the Billabong. Teeming with water birds the Billabong offers many secluded camping spots on the water's edge. Of course when camping in and around Eulo, we do ask you leave nothing behind but your foot prints.
Set amidst the mulga, Eulo is a delightful green haven for travellers. Following drought, recent record rainfall has once again transformed this beef, wool and honey producing area into a carpet of native grasses and herbages. In the spring, seasonal conditions considered, the surrounding bush comes alive with wildflowers.

Ziplining next month with Grandson when he gets home from deployment!!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Ziplining next month with Grandson when he gets home from deployment!!!
Better to do something imperfectly, than nothing perfectly.
Done is better than perfect.
took me awhile to figure this one out. Had to inbox my son on FACEBOOK what smh (shaking my head) meant. Then next thing I see my GD texting in script.
Ziplining is amazing! The only thing that I can think of on my YOLO list is flying first class. I'd love to go to Europe and see all the amazing cities there.
I am getting to cross one of the list next week... going to Bali! I am too excited to sleep.
It's easy what is on my list
going to the real disney land ( seen Paris too many times) for my son.
and win the lottery so we can buy another house ( don't like the neighbourhood here)
Life is short so sew on
I hadn't heard this one before. When I did it reminded me of one of my kids friends; Max. He would never say good bye to anyone; just see you later or until next time. He always said; there are no guarantees for tomorrow. He was full of love and fun. Last month, on my birthday and his dates birthday, they were both killed in a car crash. His girfriend just celebrated her 19th birthday and he was 22. It was like he always knew and tried to make the most of his life while he could. So many of us don't do that and I'm not meaning taking life threatening chances because that is stupid. But so many dwell on what isn't or what could be but don't enjoy what is. These are the ones who miss out on so much. I think I could handle the zip lining, definitely not the parachuting, I dont' even like to fly and refused when my young son wanted me to bungie jump with him. There are so many things in life to enjoy, including life itself and we should hold onto that. Be safe and enjoy what you want and try to make all who come into contact with you have something good to say about you when you leave. It breaks my heart when I hear of all of the young kids getting killed in speeding cars and other reckless things and alot of times these things are being done to prove they aren't afraid instead of because they enjoy it. Hold onto your bucket list and your YOLO list and do them because it makes you (or someone else) happy but be safe.
Hello my name is Dawn and I am a Sissy - La-La Girlie Girl. I see absolutely no good coming from jumping out of a perfectly running airplane-- or from the edge of a scenic cliff strapped to a kite--- or a bridge attached to a giant rubber-band---as to a zip-line after seeing a 20 yr old girl fall from one who will be in a wheel chair the rest of her days only made it too clear that I love having my feet firmly on the ground and my heart beating safely in my chest. But to all the Thrill Seekers among us Be Safe and Be Wise -NEVER sign a waiver releasing these outfits from their responsibilities concerning your safety and well being..
Stitchit, I'm with you.
Me too, stitchit - I have no need to get my heart pumping that hard. I don't handle excitement well. Contentment is more my style.

Fabulous Romeo & Juliet at Paly
Original post made by JForte, Evergreen Park, on Nov 10, 2006
The cast is excellent, with some outstanding lead performances. The fight scenes are terrific-- kudos to the choreographer and the actors who really make them work. And the whole concept overall nicely updates the classic in fresh and surprising ways.
Treat yourself with an outing to see some fine young actors at their best...

The fight scenes were particularly realistic. The audience gasped as actors struggled, tumbled, punched, kicked and stabbed on stage. This is a great show with talented students in both the performance and technical areas. The remaining shows are Thu Nov 16 at 4 p.m., Fri and Sat Nov 17 & 18 at 8 p.m. Tickets $7/adults, $5/students, available at the door.

Oh goody! now we don't have to go to the movies for violence. We can gasp right at home. Sure, there is some violence in the original but our kids have so much experience with movie and TV and video game violence, who needs more? There are better ways to judge good acting.
a resident of Professorville
on Nov 14, 2006 at 9:25 am
Hey, I won't even let a videogame box in my house, and my son was a social pariah for a while because I wouldn't let him see the Matrix, because I hate media violence, but I have to second the commendation of the stage fighting in this show. It was a well-choreographed dance; stage combat is tricky, timing is crucial, and it takes a huge amount of practice to do it believably and safely; these kids pulled it off better than a lot of professionals. So many big and small moments were happening in these fight scenes, I'd like to see each about 10 times to catch every nuance of this particular ballet. And because it was so well done and believable, the moment where the fight freezes and then Tybalt stabs Mercutio under Romeo's arm was a heart-stopper.
At it's core, R&J is a violent play, but not gratuitously; it is about senseless deaths, and foolish hatreds; something worth getting kids to think about these days....

I'd like to offer my compliments to Kristen Lo and all of the students! Very smooth and well acted, bringing intensity without overreaching, an excellent production all around. As for the question of violence, I'm a bit disappointed that such a timeless and culturally relevant classic would be lumped in with typical TV/movie/video game violence. In R&J, each fight and each killing is followed by regret, disapproval, punishment and/or consequences. Shakespeare also shows what a trap it is to react violently. It's not like so many TV shows and movies where people can just walk away from their actions, or video games, where death is a joke, or at worst, a prompt to "Play Again." In the final analysis, the play shows the terrible cost of senseless violence, and the painful recognition of that fact by those who enabled it. Quite worth seeing and talking about!

J.E Fike
You have a photo of my grandfather's headstone posted. His name is J.E. Fike (Jesse Elmer Fike) and is buried in New Salem cemetery in Rayville, Richland Parish, Louisiana. First, I'd like to thank you for posting it. I was able to show it to my mother (his daughter) and it meant a great deal to her. He died by accident when she was five years old and it's been many, many years since she's been to his gravesite. If you think you are of some relation to him, I'll be happy to fill in any blanks I can for you....thanks again!

I am Clophire's great grandson. Is that Saraphine next to him? I am sure it is. I am curious. I am starting my own family tree. Clophire and Saraphine gave birth to Buford which is my granfather. He gave birth to my dad Clophire "Pete" Viola. He was named after his grandfather. I am Pete Viola's son. Also who are the two pictured beside Clophire and Saraphine?

Well, my partner at work gave me my name "Snooze" as I kept snoozing at the job for the 1st couple of years. A little history now. I worked the midnight shift so some of you can relate to this. I worked as a CSI in the Florida area where we have lots of crime. Now also, due to working nights and spending lots of time in court testifying to past cases, sleep was at a premium so now you can see why I slept whenever and where ever I could. My last 7 years at the job I never had a problem staying awake but the name stuck. Most of the cops didn't even know my real name, just knew me as Snooze. I've had this log-on name for over 20 years now. That's my story and I'm sticking to it......:-)

My name Quilt Gal come about in a round about way. When my son was little he sang Buffalo Gals won't you come out tonight as Bubble Cows (since we live in Texas that seems appropriate!), and I needed a name long ago for AOL email and remembered him and his Bubble Cows and that took me back to 'gal' so I added Quilt to the front and became Quilt Gal!

Graham Reid talks to nine-time, make that 10-time, Grammy winner Bonnie Raitt
It's just five days before this week's Grammys, for which she has been nominated in the Americana category for her album Slipstream, so let's wish Bonnie Raitt good luck.
On this evening she's watching the dimming of the day through the redwoods at her home, 15 minutes north of San Francisco, and laughing about the upcoming awards.
"I got my outfit and my boyfriend's got his tux pressed, so we're rarin' to go. I don't think I'll win. But I already have nine, thank you very much," she jokes.
"But it'll be fun because they do ours in the afternoon with blues, jazz, reggae and Hawaiian, so there's no television cameras. It's just a big party."
And with that ceremony now over, Raitt might have partied there longer than most - because with Slipstream she picked up yet another trophy for her shelf.
Even now, accolades just keep coming for 63-year old Raitt and Slipstream - her first album in seven years - has been acknowledged as not just one of her best, but another entry in her unique continuum of blues-rock, affecting ballads and sassy rock 'n' roll.
On the album is her co-write with guitarist George Marinelli Down to You, which sounds like it slipped out of a Stones' Exile on Main St session ("Oh yeah, we can do that Ronnie 'n' Keith thing") but there is also the stunning ballad You Can't Fail Me Now, written by Loudon Wainwright and producer Joe Henry.
"Isn't that the most amazing tune? Joe and Loudon had written that for the Knocked Up soundtrack and Loudon cut it for his album Strange Weirdos, but I heard it on Joe's Civilians album. Sometimes there's a melody that's just so out of the park, and the line about 'mercy is just a warning shot across the bows' - c'mon, get outta here. That is so great."
The exceptional song - now owned by her interpretation and neither of its writers' - takes its place as a sister song alongside her signature If I Can't Make You Love Me of 22 years ago. And that song - recently covered by Adele, Katy Perry and Bon Iver, and so important to her audience - remains in her set every night.
The Grammy-grabbing Slipstream - with astute covers of recent Dylan songs, a smart reggae reworking of Gerry Rafferty's Right Down the Line (which lyrically might be addressed to her loyal fan base), the thoughtful Henry piano ballad God Only Knows, and some brittle observations about the cruel price some pay for fame (Used to Rule the World, Marriage Made in Hollywood) - is classic Raitt for its adult and unflinching view of the world.
But it was a long time coming.
After her Souls Alike in 2005 and two years of touring - which brought her to New Zealand for acclaimed shows in 2007 - Raitt retreated. Her parents were ailing and subsequently died, and her brother died in 2009 after battling brain cancer. So Raitt did something she'd never done. In 2010 she stopped all musical and political commitments, and stayed at home.
"I watched four seasons go by in my own neighbourhood. I'd never spent four seasons in one place. I was pretty racked with grief that I was finally experiencing, so it was very healing."
Raitt admits things fell apart emotionally - she had therapy, went for long walks, looked out the window, made meals and tried to come to terms with who she was, now no longer the daughter/sister in other people's lives.
There were family matters to sort out, the difficulty of turning down requests from the numerous political groups she supports, the knowledge her working life was central to the wages of fellow musicians, crew and the business which had grown up around her.
"There's always a balance between the personae of your life as your work, or that of being your parents' kid. I was relying a bit too much on the professional side, but there's overlap in what I do. It doesn't stop at 5pm.
"You have to address relationships in your family and aspects of yourself that you haven't, in 40 years on the road, given any shrift to. It wasn't the easiest thing I did, but was rewarding and transformational getting to know parts of myself. Which sounds very northern Californian," she laughs.
"I turned down all the benefit requests and, for an activist like me, just on guilt level alone - let alone strategically and politically - that was a problem. There were groups that without the support they are accustomed to getting from my tours ... well, it was a hard line to draw.
"But I just didn't feel like being the capital-letter version of myself and it wasn't appropriate for me to suit up as this bigger personality."
She laughs about how she thought she'd buy an easel and paint, and do all those things we always promise ourselves we'd do if only we had time. But she didn't. She lived quietly.
Then Henry was in touch, she came to miss playing, knew she'd had the bones of an album before her hiatus, heard some great songs ... and was back with her band in the studio.
"The next thing I knew it was like getting back on the horse, and I was raring to go."
And now, another Grammy in hand, Bonnie Raitt is on the road again with her cracking band.
"Yeah," she laughs again after a serious conversation about family losses, retreat and self-analysis. "We're all born to do this and, especially as the music business implodes, there aren't many acts that are self-supporting any more.
"I'm so grateful my fans still want to see us. We've been selling out everywhere and the record is still doing well."

Gadget Geek's Guide to Turntables
Despite the fact that vinyl records stopped being mass produced sometime between the 80's and 90's it's clear that owning records is back in style. Here are the four turntables that have caught our eye.
Despite the fact that vinyl records stopped being mass-produced sometime between the '80s and '90s, it's clear that owning records is back in style. Record shops have been popping up all over the country even while many music listeners are turning to digital downloads instead of CDs. Maybe it's the kitsch factor or maybe it's because nothing can beat their sound; whatever the case, there's just something magical about listening to the crackle and pop of a good old record.
To truly experience the quality and sound of a record you have to invest in not only a good sound system but also a good turntable. There are a lot of flimsy ones on the market that hope to cash in on vinyl's rising popularity, but these four turntables encompass not only the quality you need but also great style.
AMG Viella 12
We love this first record player because it marries the simplicity of old turntables with the modern design we enjoy today. AMG released this gorgeous piece furnished with an optional cherry wood skirt or piano-black lacquer for an extra $500. The turntable was created and manufactured all in-house at AMG's factory in Munich by a group of audio industry experts who know a thing or two about the art of vinyl and was designed by Werner Roeschlau, who has been manufacturing some of the best turntable parts for years. For more information on the product, visit amg-turntables.com.
Price: $16,500-$17,000

Crosley Echo CR6003A
If you really can't stand the thought of spending your rainy-day fund on a turntable you may be using as artwork to tie the room together a couple of years from now, capitalize on the low price of a Crosley turntable.

Palmer 2.5
"It is not really appropriate to break down a Palmer turntable to its specification in as much as they are all holistic designs," explains the creator and owner of Palmer Audio. When using a holistic method to design a turntable, every component must consider how it interacts with another. Not only is the Palmer 2.5 a gorgeous talking piece thanks to its unique design, it is also said to be one of the greatest turntables on the market in regards to sound quality. For more information on how you can buy your own Palmer turntable go to palmeraudio.co.uk.

QuiltE, I did it all freehand, no drawing. When I started I had no clue what to do and I just stared at the top and thought.......now what. So I took the plunge and started quilting.
Honchey, I have to go in next week for the follow up and I hope I won't see him for another 6 months after that too!
No news on Isa. No doctor seen yesterday so maybe today?

Where I stayed
Days Inn
It was great to see them back on the bike and it was a beautiful day to ride. Sprinkled alittle this morning, but as we rode east it cleared up and the sky was a beautiful blue with puffy white clouds! I think the temp. got up to 90 so it did get "alittle warm" on the bike as the day went on. Tom kept asking Randy and Linda how the "air conditioning" was working?
We did run in to a rain shower a couple times but it didn't last long and it felt good!
We took 90 East all the way to Spearfish, So
While Porter's were returning their rental car, we had the Honda dealership change our oil and grease some stuff. Once Randy and Linda got back from the car rental we hit the road.
The day was pretty uneventful. We stopped to see Custer's Last Stand grounds but only saw a gift shop......we must have missed something??!!
We ate tonight at the Cedar Lodge close to the Days Inn. I tried Rocky Mountain Oysters - never had oysters that didn't come from a shell!? Linda talked me into them...she fixes them at home. They were good. Another new experience for me!
We've attached some pictures of Montana and Wyoming. Tomorrow we'll include some from SD as we are headed to Mt. Rushmore, Black Hills and Sturgis tomorrow....then further east!
Tom, Sandy, Linda and Randy
Thank you, Tom, for doing the laundry for us so I could work on the blog! Such a good man. His mother taught him well.

I like Beyonce but I don't see the purpose of that "nude" leotard, so the audience can envision her dancing onstage actually naked. Her fans who attend are not all over 18. I'd be horrified if I took my child to see her and then she appeared on the next set wearing that. Bad call, Beyonce!

Maybe it's not the photographers Beyonce. Have you thought that it maybe this is just the way you really look without all that photo shop. You are getting old. All you ever wear is leotards. You have a Leotard in ever fabric made. Can't your stylist think of anything else. It's getting old. Time to change up the image. Get rid of that wig and the leotard. Get original and be natural. Let us see your real hair.

I have always loved Beyonce and I'm usually open minded about risque' costumes, but this one is to much. Its just gross and it reminds me of a drag queen. Her face is starting to look like someone using drugs. I really hope thats not the case. We have seen way to many talented and beautiful people turn to drugs and die. I'm just hoping this is a phaze and she quickly goes back to her beautiful talented self!!!
Posted at 9:36 AM on April 20, 2013
Beyoncé costume is appropriate for her worldwide Mrs. Carter show. Her body was tastefully covered. Fans in the front as well as very far back could see a creative costume. This costume was one of many. Remember her show is not everyday life, in everyday life many times she does not wear make up or such performance costumes.

I second that. She looks like she is on drugs. She would like to blame the photographers but that is how she looks without all that Photoshop. She usually have all of her images photoshopped before any gets posted. She is getting old and so is her look. She has been wearing that same style wig for 20 years. And all she ever wears are leotards. She has no originality. Time for the world to see her real hair.

Modex: Back from the new show
Innovation was on display in Atlanta

Latest ResourceUnlock the Value of Your Supply Chain Through Embedded Analytics Learn how embedded analytics can provide deeper supply chain intelligence and help you extract maximum value from data for your supply chain operations
All Resources
Last week, the Modern team was in Atlanta at Modex, the new material handling and supply chain show. Going into the show, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, a sentiment that was expressed by a number of exhibitors I spoke to prior to the start of the event.
I'm happy to report that it appeared well-attended, the energy level was great and no one I spoke to wished we were in Detroit or Cleveland in February, rather than Atlanta, where the weather was gorgeous. More importantly, most of the vendors I spoke to said that attendees had projects in mind. I left with a couple of key takeaways, based on the press conferences I attended and the booths I was able to visit.
Robotic material handling is getting interesting: Robots have been on the factory floor for decades but are just now making inroads into warehousing and distribution applications – mostly around palletizing. For instance, I saw some really exciting solutions for robotic palletizing at Kuka Systems, including a solution to pick layers of mixed products of varying sizes. Kuka was also highlighting a mobile robot to transport pallets or conveyor from station to station in a facility. Meanwhile, Intelligrated was showing a solution for depalletizing. That moves robots from the end of the manufacturing or order fulfillment line into other operations in the warehouse or DC.
It's all about software: Not so long ago, the conversations with equipment providers focused on their machines while conversations with the WMS companies focused on software. Today, it's software that is making possible some of the most innovative handling solutions, like the shuttle solutions for goods-to-person picking touted by Dematic, Knapp, TGW and SSI Schaefer.
Don't ignore the low-hanging fruit: Like most people, I'm a sucker for the Gee Whiz factor – the new equipment that I've never seen before. At the Interroll booth, I learned about a major cosmetics manufacturer that was generating tremendous savings by converting a decades old conveyor system to motor driven rollers. It was a reminder that there's a lot to be said for picking the low-hanging fruit first.
The above is by no means an exhaustive list. There were so many booths I didn't have time to visit. But it was a reminder that innovation is alive and well in our industry.

Dear Meghan,
Does it seem odd that WE, as the people, have to be reminded of our obligations to respect all among us?
Is such a reminder in fact an oxymoron?
Does the need for such reminder simply illustrate our intolerance?

Dear Meghan and OX,
An amazing article, exceptional young people and a very sobering point. Imagine all the reasons for intolerance and then imagine how we all must stand for those not tolerated.
Among my friends are Muslims, Gays, Jews, Lesbians, and even Republicans. Please imagine how much tolerance is needed for all my friends.
Funny, yes. Serious, YES.

Downtown yet to dry
It's business as usual for most of New York's hotels and cultural attractions after hurricane Sandy. The city's tourism body, NYC and Company, says 95 per cent of the city's hotels are open to guests but has urged travellers to confirm bookings.
All Broadway shows have reopened, along with the Bronx Zoo and Carnegie Hall. The popular Highline, an elevated public park built on the site of a former freight rail line on Manhattan's West Side, will limit its opening hours from 8am to 5pm.
See nycgo.com.
Namibian nomads
In what could be described as a sensible boys' and girls' own adventure, the Classic Safari Company has added self-drive safaris into Namibia and Botswana - with back-up vehicle, two-way radio and satellite phone - to its bespoke itineraries.
Trip leader Mike Boyd, who has operated Self Drive Safaris in southern Africa for three years, says the trips included remote parts of north-west Namibia adjacent to the Skeleton Coast following tracks through desert-scapes and volcanic craters with the chance to see game, including elephants and lions.
"Everyone drives as if they are doing the journey on their own but we tag along as support if anyone gets stuck," Boyd says. "You will never drive in another vehicle's dust.
"We drive along river beds and mountain tracks and we rarely see another vehicle. If it's a difficult few kilometres, people can stop. There's no pressure; we don't drive in a row of 15 vehicles."
The trips, from 13 to 21 days, include a visit to Etosha Game Park, Sossusvlei - home of the highest freestanding dunes in the world - and Puros in the far north, where people can visit Himba villages.
Boyd, who grew up in Stellenbosch, South Africa, and has been based in Australia since the 1980s, says four-wheel-driving experience is helpful and a liking for camping essential.
"It is very much a do-it-yourself trip where you drive yourself, set up camp [in rooftop tents on the vehicle] and prepare your own meals."
A 13-day trip costs from $6000 a person.

The tribulations of being a girl
A day in the lives of six girls from countries including Cambodia, Afghanistan and the US is captured in a new documentary I Am a Girl.
The feature-length movie by Rebecca Barry examines gender inequity across the globe, with the girls filmed from dawn to dusk.
"The cold, hard reality is that if you are born a girl in this world today, in every measurable way you will be at a disadvantage," Barry says.
Funded by organisations including Intrepid Travel and Plan International, the movie will be in cinemas in the new year.
See iamagirl.com.au.
Meet at Uluru
The conference set now has an ancient desert site for gatherings, with the Uluru Meeting Place at Ayers Rock Resort opening this week by the federal Minister for Tourism, Martin Ferguson.
It's part of a $30 million rejuvenation at the resort, owned by the Indigenous Land Corporation, which also includes the renovation of the 231-room Sails in the Desert Hotel. There are two ballrooms, one seating 420, the other 300. Guided stargazing and dot-painting classes by indigenous guides are among resort activities.
Since Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia took over management of the resort in May 2011, indigenous employment has risen from two to more than 170, 30 per cent of whom are local Anangu people.
Flights to the resort operate twice daily from Sydney with Virgin Australia and Qantas and daily from Cairns and Alice Springs, connecting with Melbourne and Adelaide flights.
See voyages.com.au.
Walk this way
Digitally disinclined walkers who want to explore NSW - from the Manly to North Head trail to the Blue Mountains - can use the hard-copy maps in a new 32-card compilation, Walks in Nature.
Robust enough to survive a backpack, each card contains map information and food refuelling stops for the walks, which are all within two hours of the city.
Walks in Nature (Explore Australia, $24.95). See exploreaustralia.net.au.
Marimekko flying high
Finnish design house Marimekko will add its touch to Finnair from next year with textiles and tableware laid out in all aircraft.
A Marimekko design will also be added to the exterior livery of one aircraft. An Airbus A340 featuring designer Maija Isola's Unikko floral print from 1964 already flies between Helsinki and Asia.
The airline has daily code-share flights from Sydney with Qantas and Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok.

We have spent 3 nights in Krakow and the apartment met all our expectations. We have all agreed that the higher valuation deserves. Amplitude, cleaning, housing, Wifi ..... etc. Serious candidate for future visits to the city due to its unbeatable location.
We have been really good in this apartment
Highly recommended.

Muy recomendado.
lovely apartment great view across the Maly Rynek and well placed for a lot of local bars , restaurants , cafes and shops and i nearly forgot the market square , old city apartment company office staff i found to be very helpful and knowledgeable also a big thank you to Daniel who drove us from the airport to the office and apartment and back to the airport , the only downside was the stairs to the apartment but that did not spoil our stay , so a big thank you to everyone at the company
We stayed 5 days at the turn of the new year 2014 (we were 6 friends). The apartment is very spacious, in front of the St. Florian's Gate. Large bedrooms, two bathrooms functioning optimally (flushing toilet, hot water, hot shower :)). At first, the temperature in the house was low but we opened all the radiators and in a few hours it is heated perfectly. The hair dryer did not work but was replaced promptly. Certainly recommended for location, functionality and space.
Siamo stati 5 giorni a cavallo del capodanno 2014 (eravamo in 6 amici). L'appartamento è molto spazioso, davanti alla Porta di San Floriano. Ampie camere da letto, due bagni funzionanti ottimamente (sciacquone, acqua calda, doccia caldissima :)). All'inizio la temperatura in casa era bassa ma abbiamo aperto tutti i termosifoni e nel giro di poche ore si è riscaldata perfettamente. Il phon non funzionava ma è stato sostituito prontamente. Di sicuro consigliabile per posizione, funzionalità e spazio.
Apartment very modern and beautiful, also very central. The magnificent assistance
Apartamento muy moderno y bonito, tambien muy centrico. La asistencia magnifica
The apartment is in restored condition and bathroom and kitchen are very modern and clean. The vintage décor with chandeliers and old furniture is really nice and we liked it very well. The mattress could do with updating, but we still slept very well. The house itself is shabby something in Krakow or Poland but not unusual, so a lot of money for renovations is frequently absent. The location is good, you just walk a few minutes in the old town. We were in Krakow for a swing dance event, which took place in the house most part next door. For us the location could therefore can not be better.
Das Apartment ist in komplett renoviertem Zustand und Bad und Küche sind sehr modern und sauber. Die Vintage Einrichtung mit Kronleuchtern und alten Möbeln ist wirklich schön und hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Matratze könnte mal erneuert werden, wir haben aber trotzdem sehr gut geschlafen. Das Haus selbst ist etwas shabby, das ist in Krakau bzw Polen aber nicht ungewöhnlich, so viel Geld für Renovierungen ist häufig nicht vorhanden. Die Lage ist gut, man läuft nur wenige Minuten in die Altstadt. Wir waren in Krakau zu einem Swing Tanzevent, der größtenteils im Haus nebenan stattfand. Für uns hätte die Lage also gar nicht besser sein können.

About this apartment I can not say anything, because when we arrived in Krakow, we were told that there was a heater damage and we have to take another apartment. Too bad this was right in the center and an earlier announcement by mail would have been nice. We checked into another beautiful apartment that was right on the Planty. The location was also good Straszewziego no. 10. The apartment was nice geschnitte, for two big enough, there was an elevator to the fourth floor. The decor was lovely, the bed comfortable, however, not by a solid mattress. The kitchen equipment was rather spartan, properly cook has not been possible, however, not necessary, at the range of possibilities in Krakow. There was no lack of major domestic appliances, dishwasher, refrigerator were available, but lacked things like a pot for brewing tea or a ladle. The apartment was tastefully decorated and you could feel comfortable there. We can recommend it.
Über diese Wohnung kann ich leider nichts sagen, denn als wir in Krakau ankamen, teilte man uns mit, dass es einen Heizungsschaden gäbe und wir eine andere Wohnung nehmen müssen. Schade, diese lag genau im Zentrum und eine frühere Mitteilung per Mail wäre auch schön gewesen. Wir bezogen eine andere schöne Wohnung, die direkt am Planty lag. Die Lage war auch gut Straszewziego Nr. 10. Die Wohnung war schön geschnitte, für zwei Personen groß genug, es gab einen Fahrstuhl in den vierten Stock. Die Ausstattung war schön, das Bett allerdings durch eine durchgehende Matraze nicht komfortabel. Die Küchenausstattung war eher spartanisch, richtig kochen war nicht möglich, allerdings auch nicht nötig, bei der Auswahl an Möglichkeiten in Krakau. Es fehlte nicht an Großgeräten, Spülmaschine, Kühlschrank waren vorhanden, allerdings fehlten Dinge wie eine Kanne für das Brühen von Tee oder ein Schöpflöffel. Das Apartment war stilvoll eingerichtet und man konnte sich dort wohl fühlen. Wir können es weiterempfehlen.
Very nice apartment, practically on Floriańska street, around the corner from the Market Square
Appartamento Molto bello, Praticamente su via Floriańska, a due passi dalla piazza del Mercato
When we arrived, the apartment we had booked was not availebal due to a water leckage. This had happend two days ago, but we were not contacted. We were offered a 2 room apartment with 1 bath insteed of the 3 rooms with 2 baths we had payed for. In discussion about price reduction we were told this was an upgrade, and therefor they would not offer compensation. The last day we were allowed to keep the appartement unntil 19 o clock insteed of 12. This was a totally different apartement, and not bright, big we had booed. Disappointing.
Three of us stayed at this apartment.
It is in a fantastic location and is in a very beautiful building.
The apartment is very well laid out and is well equipped.
We really loved staying here.
2 teeny-weeny improvements - provide a tea pot and an iron. Otherwise a perfect place to stay.

Reviews of this property
The NYC apartment was our third apartment in Europe and was a great choice - excellent value, location and cleanliness.
Die Wohnung ist in einer sehr guten Lage und mit der U-Bahn leicht zu erreichen. Die Ausstattung war gut - alles da was man brauch nur die Handtücher waren für einen 6 Tägigen Aufenthalt zu wenig - man will ja auch mal tauschen können. Und Handtücher für den Boden vor der Badewanne waren leider überhaupt keine da. Von der Sauberkeit her war es so la la - es war geputzt aber die Wände und der Duschvorhang zum Beispiel haben schon besserer Zeiten gesehen - es würde nicht schaden wenn mal jemand mit dem Malerpinsel durchgehen würde.
Geärgert habe ich mich als ich bei der Angegebenen Nummer angerufen habe - es ist ewig niemand dran gegangen bis dann irgendwann ein Anrufbeantworter dran war der gesagt hat wenn man jemanden sprechen will muss man eine Andere Nummer wählen - wenn ich in einer Wohnung bin gehe ich schon davon aus das ich jemanden erreichen kann wenn etwas dringendes ist. Ansonsten war der Preis aber gut und ich würde die Wohnung wieder mieten
Schöne grosse Souterrain Wohnung. Sauber, gepglegt. Wir haben uns dort wohl gefühlt. Die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel sind fußläufig binnen 10 -15 Minuten zu erreichen. Somit kann man die wichtigsten Attraktionen / Punkte (z. B. Innenstadt, Hauptbahnhof, Oktoberfest) binnen kurzer Zeit aufsuchen.
Eine frühere Anreise wurde ebenfalls unkompliziert ermöglicht.
Beide Daumen hoch!
Ich würde wieder buchen.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Great location. Very close to Metro station and only 3 to 4 stops from city center. Supermarket 5mins walk around the corner. Bedrooms are decent size and all rooms well equipped. Hope to be able to stay again.
The flat was very nice. Alex answered rapidly to the questions I asked.
The only problem was that our car park was used by some else very often.
The apartment is cozy, well furnished and quiet. It is located near public transport and in a good position to quickly reach the city center. There is no dedicated parking, but it was quite easy to find free parking in the neighborhood.
I would definitely recommend it.
We had a wonderful time in Munich. The apartment has a very good location. It offers spacious rooms, with excellent comfort. Alex was friendly and very helpful. I recommand this apartment!
I would recommand this appartment in Münich. Located near the U-Bahn at a quiet location. There is also a Bakery and Supermarket nearby. Wifi if fast and works great and also the rooms are clean and tidy. The pickup of the key is a little bit adventures, but Alex described it very well by mail. So we had no problems with that. Alex also responded quickly on questions by mail. We stayed with 5 persons, but there is room for 6.
We enjoyed Münich and I hope to return again some day :)
I had contact with Alex couple of times before our arrival, always received response really fast. Arrival was easy, parking the car as well. Nice apartment in central location (5 minute walk to Hauptbahnhof). Big bedrooms, decent bath room and well equipped kitchen. The place was modern and clean. As we stayed here for an exhibition we only where here to sleep and take a shower. For my next visit to Munich I will book this apartment again, we really liked it.

text: I'm a second year beekeeper that started two supers from packaged bees in March. One of the supers has a lot of dead bees in front of the hive and I noticed on Saturday that some bees were removing still live bees from the hive. Upon inspection of these live bees I found them to be quivering/shaking. What could be causing this and what can I do to assist these bees to survive?

Warriors coach Matthew Elliott will field close to his best side for the club's second pre-season trial match against Penrith in Hamilton on Saturday and has given Elijah Taylor the chance to establish himself at hooker.
Elliott fielded a young and inexperienced side in the 42-24 defeat to the Gold Coast last weekend but has rung the changes for the Panthers game.
New signings Thomas Leuluai and Dane Nielsen both feature. Leuluai will start in the halves after last playing for the club in 2004 and Nielsen will make his first appearance for the Warriors since winning last year's NRL title with Melbourne.
Elliott has given Taylor the chance to claim the starting hooker's job in the absence of regular No 9 Nathan Friend, who will miss the start of the season after having further shoulder surgery this Thursday.
Taylor has spent time at hooker in a number of NRL games but is more accustomed to playing off the back of the scrum and was viewed as the natural replacement for Micheal Luck, who retired at the end of last season.
Pita Godinet and Alehana Mara are other candidates to play at hooker.
Shaun Johnson and Feleti Mateo, who played for the NRL All Stars, will also start, as will powerful propping duo Sam Rapira and 2013 Player of the Year Ben Matulino.
"We always planned to run with our younger players against the Titans,'' Elliott said. "It was a really productive trial for us, giving us a good chance to have a look at our depth.
"As our only trial close to home, this match in Hamilton is a step up. We're able to call on most of our senior players and we're all looking forward to playing at Waikato Stadium in front of our members and fans. It's great taking games to places around the country like Hamilton and we hope a huge crowd turns out for it.''
Apart from Friend, Jerome Ropati, who's working his way back from knee surgery, Russell Packer (bicep) and the club's other 2012 NRL grand final winner Todd Lowrie, who has returned home following the death of his grandfather. Sione Lousi is out for six months after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee against the Titans.
Warriors side to play Penrith at Waikato Stadium, Hamilton, on Saturday (4pm): Kevin Locke, Bill Tupou, Dane Nielsen, Konrad Hurrell, Manu Vatuvei, Thomas Leuluai, Shaun Johnson, Sam Rapira, Elijah Taylor, Ben Matulino, Ben Henry, Simon Mannering (c), Feleti Mateo. Interchange: Dominique Peyroux, Jacob Lillyman, Pita Godinet, Alehana Mara, Ngani Laumape, Carlos Tuimavave, Sam Lousi, Sebastine Ikahihifo, John Palavi, Glen Fisiiahi, Sio Siua Taukeiaho, Steve Rapira, Charlie Gubb.

GAINESVILLE, Fla.
University of Tennessee freshman Caitlin Ward's debut in the pentathlon Friday at the Southeastern Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships was a promising one. The rookie tallied personal bests in four of five events and wrapped up the competition at the O'Connell Center with a third-place effort in the 800-meter run to place 14th overall with 3236 points.
Ward, a prep sprinter who hails from Gibsonia, Pa., wrapped up the competition with a time of 2:25.33 to place third in the 800 and earn 753 points. What makes that result even more impressive is that the Lady Vol had never run an organized race at that distance before. The effort enabled her final point tally to rate number five on UT's all-time performers list in the pentathlon.
Just as Ward had never run the 800 before today, she also had never successfully cleared a bar in the high jump. She sailed over nine different heights Friday, however, posting a top reading of 4-11.25/1.50m. In fact, Ward had entered the competition with no-heights in her only two collegiate tries at the event.
The second-best event for UT's multi-eventer was the shot put, where Ward increased her previous PR a foot and a half to
36-0.25/10.98m to place ninth. Another career topper came in the long jump, as she stretched the tape to 16-4/4.98m. Her only miss on
a lifetime best came in the 55m hurdles, where perhaps a nervous start led to a 9.14 reading that was not up to her 8.99 season mark.
With all of that positive information, and considering the limited amount of time that Ward has been training in each event, UT Head Coach
J.J. Clark concluded that Ward could have a bright future as a multi-eventer.
"I am very proud of Caitlin," Clark said. "She performed well and had PRs in two events she's done before and established a pair in a couple of new events for her. We feel very good about her potential in this event over the next couple of years, and we are excited about helping get her to that next level.
Clark also saw the strong run in the 800 as an indicator of promise in the outdoor heptathlon. "There were no signs of weakness today. She was very strong at the end, too, with the 800. The heptathlon is a natural progression for her, so we'll get back to work on that for the outdoor season."
The Lady Vols will swing into action full blast on Saturday with prelims in the 55m (Toyin Olupona), mile (Brooke Novak, Erin Anderson), 400m (Antoinette Gorham, Christina Billings) and 200m (Dee Dee Trotter), and finals in the shot put (Janine Tessarzik) and 3000m (Jessica Southers, Christy Baird and Elizabeth McCalley). Olupona kicks things off at 2:10 p.m. in the 55.

I've got 6 hives I'm going to be pulling honey off soon and have been asked to sell at the new Farmer's Market in town. Great, sounds good to me. Until they mentioned I needed product liability insurance and started calling around. Country Companies which is affiliated with the Farm Bureau wouldn't even quote it stating that they would also have to have liability insurance for the bees too which aren't on my property. We already insure our vehicles and have a renters insurance policy through them. I'm waiting on a couple other places to get back with me but one wanted to know how much experience I had extracting and bottling honey (practically none) and the agent I talked to said it would be in the $400-600 range. How HECK am I supposed to sell a relatively small amount of honey if I have to pay that much for insurance and still be competitive. What a buzzkill (pun intended)!
Who do you go through to get product liability insurance?

I have had no previous experience with procedural generation so this was quite a learning curve for me and I feel I have done fairly well. I finally managed to make a Perlin noise demo with help from this article here and I'm fairly happy of the result (that demo uses a persistence of 1 and 8 octaves).
Here is the code for my Perlin noise. It's very fast to generate compared to some of the other algorithms I've tried. Im using a linear interpolate method because I don't notice the difference between a cos one except for the fact that linear is MUCH quicker...
double[][] genWhiteNoise(){ Random random = new Random(seed); double[][] noise = new double[width][height]; for(int x = 0; x < width; x++){ for(int y = 0; y < height; y++){ noise[x][y] = random.nextDouble() % 1; } } return noise; } double[][] generateSmoothNoise(double[][] baseNoise, int octave){ double[][] smoothNoise = new double[width][height]; int samplePeriod = 1 << octave; double sampleFrequency = 1.0f / samplePeriod; for(int x = 0; x < width; x++){ int sample_x0 = (x / samplePeriod) * samplePeriod; int sample_x1 = (sample_x0 + samplePeriod) % width; double horizontal_blend = (x - sample_x0) * sampleFrequency; for(int y = 0; y < height; y++){ int sample_y0 = (y / samplePeriod) * samplePeriod; int sample_y1 = (sample_y0 + samplePeriod) % height; double vertical_blend = (y - sample_y0) * sampleFrequency; double top = interpolate(baseNoise[sample_x0][sample_y0], baseNoise[sample_x1][sample_y0], horizontal_blend); double bottom = interpolate(baseNoise[sample_x0][sample_y1], baseNoise[sample_x1][sample_y1], horizontal_blend); smoothNoise[x][y] = interpolate(top, bottom, vertical_blend); } } return smoothNoise; } double[][] perlinNoise(double[][] baseNoise, int octaveCount){ double[][][] smoothNoise = new double[octaveCount][][]; for(int i = 0; i < octaveCount; i++){ smoothNoise[i] = generateSmoothNoise(baseNoise, i); } double[][] perlinNoise = new double[width][height]; double amplitude = 1.0; double totalAmplitude = 0.0d; for(int octave = octaveCount - 1; octave >= 0; octave--){ amplitude *= persistance; totalAmplitude += amplitude; for(int x = 0; x < width; x++){ for(int y = 0; y < height; y++){ perlinNoise[x][y] += smoothNoise[octave][x][y] * amplitude; } } } for(int x = 0; x < width; x++){ for(int y = 0; y < height; y++){ perlinNoise[x][y] /= totalAmplitude; } } return perlinNoise; }
First off, can someone please tell me if the noise I have generated if suitable for random world generation or if it's not, can they give me some tips and/or links to good examples.
and second, can someone please tell me a good place to start for turning that Perlin noise into a game world. I am using a tile based system and i plan on having mountains, sand dunes, forests and cities (they wont be randomly generated but they will have a random location in the world based on some placement parameters).
Any help would be very much appreciated.

A 25-year-old Lake Charles woman has been charged with theft after allegedly helping co-workers steal over $3,000 worth of merchandise from a local Wal-Mart, authorities said.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers said Jana M. Durbin, 1617 8th St., was arrested Friday.
"Deputies were dispatched to the Wal-Mart on La. 171 in reference to a theft," Myers said Wednesday in a news release. "Deputies spoke with store officials who advised over the last three months, Durbin was captured on video surveillance checking out several current employees but not scanning all of their items. Durbin would place the unscanned items directly into shopping bags, allowing employees to walk out of the store with merchandise worth over $3,000."
Myers said Durbin confirmed the allegations when questioned by deputies.
Durbin was been released on a $1,000 bond set by Judge Wilford Carter.
Detective Jerry Childress was the lead investigator.

Sponsored Tingles: Cover Girl Exact Eyelights
P&G has been sponsoring our TIFF coverage and my TIFF BFF. P&G is also the official TIFF Beauty Sponsor, providing touch ups for celebrities and guests before red carpet and other events throughout the duration of the festival.
Rihanna represents CoverGirl. After a short trip to LA to perform on Jay Leno's new show with Jay-Z and Kanye West, Rihanna is now back in New York, where she's spent virtually the entire summer, and was spotted out for karaoke night with friends and obliging fans with photos and autographs.
She is currently working on a new album with many collaborators including Ne-Yo and Akon. Said Ne-Yo at the VMAs last Sunday of their material:
"Expect an edgier, almost angrier Rihanna on this one. Rihanna says some things on this album that you've never heard her say before."
Akon's approach however is much softer:
"I'm going to lighten her up. I don't want an angry Rihanna."
A release date has yet to be confirmed. Suffice to say it will be one of the most highly anticipated of 2010 and the most heavily scrutinised.

Re: Uncharted TV Submissions
Hey everyone!
This is my entry for the Uncharted TV. My purpose is not to promote me (although I admit that it would be cool to see my gameplay in UCTV), but to promote a good friend of mine, Kit-Kat-Kaz and her videos. She makes awesome, simple montages which always have quality music to go with it. So it would really like to get her channel and hard effort more known to the community, and I believe UCTV is the best place for that.
Also, we don't see a lot of montages dedicated for the Dragon Sniper. For this reason, this montage has a decent uniqueness value. I believe this video would encourage more people to use this fantastic gun. As for the gameplay, it truly contains the best of my sniping clips that have been gathered over the course of few months, there's no lack in that department.
So, if you like to see awesome and unique gameplay, quality editing and great music, give this submission a big kudos and hope that ND decides to show it on UCTV for all to see.
Thanks for watching!

Detroit bankruptcy exit plan threatens munis as pensions favored
Detroit's pensions would get more than twice what creditors who loaned the city money for those funds would receive under a proposal to restructure its $18 billion of debt.
The draft plan given to creditors last week by Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr offers different recovery rates for classes of unsecured creditors. Pension funds would get 45 to 50 cents on the dollar, though retiree health care liabilities would recoup just 13 cents, according to the plan.
The record municipal bankruptcy may set precedents in how retirees and bondholders are prioritized when a locality falls into distress. Investors in the $3.7 trillion municipal-debt market have assumed that states and cities would raise taxes as high as necessary to make full payments on general obligations.
Orr's plan, reported earlier by the Wall Street Journal, makes clear that unsecured creditors, with $9.2 billion in claims, would be treated differently in the bankruptcy, which came after the one-time industrial giant was unable to pay bills or provide adequate services. The proposal was given this week to creditors for feedback, as Orr prepares to submit a restructuring plan to federal bankruptcy court.
"If you're a bondholder in the state of Michigan, every pledge should be viewed as a subordinate pledge going forward," said Adam Mackey, head of munis at PNC Capital Advisors LLC in Philadelphia. "Ultimately you're going to see Michigan debt be penalized."
Saving masterworks
Loans of $1.4 billion made to shore up two pension funds would receive 20 percent of their claims, under Orr's plan. Investors holding $369 million in unlimited-tax general obligations would recover about 46 percent, and $161 million of limited-tax debt would get 28 percent.
Payments would rise slightly if the city leases its water and sewer system to a new operator, netting $1.5 billion over 40 years.
The plan assumes an infusion of $700 million for the two pension systems from equal contributions by the state and private foundations. To protect the city's collection of art masterworks, foundations and the Detroit Institute of Arts have pledged $470 million. Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has proposed $350 million that the Legislature must approve.
Stiffing banks
The deal to protect pensions and the artworks was panned by Fitch Ratings, which this week labeled it an "us versus them" mentality in Michigan by favoring retired state workers over bondholders.
The city also has proposed paying nothing to Bank of America Corp. and UBS AG, who hold secured, interest-rate swaps that have cost taxpayers $202 million since 2009. The city says it disputes the legitimacy of the swaps but might set aside about $4.2 million a month in a reserve fund in case a court finds them legal.
Bondholders would be repaid in the form of 30-year notes with a 5 percent interest rate.
Under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, similar creditors normally are treated the same, which means that giving the pension funds more money than unsecured bondholders might be difficult to justify to a judge. There are ways around the general rule, however, bankruptcy attorneys say.
Orr's latest plan increases money going to unsecured creditors compared with an offer he made in June, before the city filed for bankruptcy protection. That proposed treating pension funds and bonds the same, both getting pennies on the dollar.
'Painful cuts'
While paying a better rate to pension claims, Orr's plan would result in "painful cuts" to retirees, which average $19,000 for those in the general employee system, said Jordan Marks, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based National Public Pension Coalition.
"While Detroit's communities would fall further behind, big banks will feel little pain as Wall Street posted record profits in 2013," Marks said in an emailed statement.
Orr's plan also would create an independent trust for retiree health care, called a Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association. The trust for current and future retirees would receive the $524 million to be paid under the settlement with unsecured creditors.

Plantation Manse in the Maryland Countryside
Antrim 1844 • Taneytown, MD
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two
- In-Room Champagne Upon Arrival
- Daily Continental Wake Up Tray and Full Country Breakfast
- Afternoon Tea and Evening Hors D'oeuvres
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
The Destination
Beyond the bright lights and bustle of Baltimore and Washington, the central Maryland countryside offers up natural beauty and palpable history in a virtually undisturbed state. In the shadow of the rolling Catoctin Mountains, you'll find the ideal expression of both: Taneytown, a 250-year-old settlement shaped by the Civil War (Historic Gettysburg is just 15 minutes away), whose famous residents included Francis Scott Key, author of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Today, the area's quaint charm, idyllic setting, and lively community make it a pastoral refuge from the commotion of urban life.
The Digs
Antrim 1844, a meticulously restored antebellum mansion surrounded by gracious outbuildings and manicured gardens, truly captures the magic of the past. The mansion's nine guest rooms—and several additional suites in the adjoining buildings—are individually decorated in a style that's simultaneously refined and understated, with wood-burning fireplaces, private balconies, and feather beds as common features. Outside your room, peaceful topiary gardens and courts for tennis, volleyball, and croquet offer plenty of opportunity for recreation on the grounds. At mealtime, the inn's acclaimed Smokehouse Restaurant serves up a six-course tasting menu and an excellent wine list.
The Diversions
• Emmitsburg Antique Mall
• Gettysburg National Military Park
• Catoctin Mountain National Park
• Elk Run Winery
"The graceful antebellum mansion, charming outbuildings, and immaculate gardens here comprise one of the region's premier countryside hotels. Just 15 minutes from Gettysburg, the inn is a popular choice for weddings and romantic getaways."-- Read Fodor's Review of Antrim 1844

Roethlisberger posted the news about Benjamin Jr. on his website Thursday.
He says wife Ashley gave birth to their first child Wednesday at 10:06 p.m. The boy weighed 7 lbs., 1 oz. and is just over 19 inches long.
The quarterback says mother and baby are doing well.
He adds, "We want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers, it really means a lot to us. God is so good!"
Roethlisberger says he'll have pictures to post this weekend.

Life Lessons: Student takes aim at gun violence
A recent CDC survey reports over 16-percent of high schoolers admitted to bringing a weapon to school in the past month.
Gun violence in schools is a problem that doesn't seem to be going away.
Many parents are waiting and hoping for changes. But one teenager in Florida can't wait any longer and she's using technology to try to make her point.
High school junior Allie Chandler wants changes made across the country to target gun violence in schools, and she's using this school assignment to make her point.
Allie explains, "It's a documentary and I believe in it with my whole heart."
Television teacher Cara Ryan says the assignment started as a campaign reform documentary but took a turn to gun violence after the Newtown shootings.
Allie edited the video in her bedroom. "Kids have brought guns to school at our school and you go into lockdown. Lockdown is lockdown. You just lock doors and sit under a desk," says Allie.
In the documentary, she talks about 25 years ago when her mother was in the same situation, a lockdown at school. She interviewed her for the school project.
Mom Lisa Chandler remembers a frightening experience. "People were screaming, 'There's a gun. There's a gun.'"
An assistant principal was killed. Like mother like daughter.
In her documentary Allie suggests changes like metal detectors and fortifying schools.
She's targeting lawmakers to demand change. "I have sent it to a couple lawmakers. They've looked at it and said it was an option that we should be looking at; something other than gun control."
So what seemed like a simple class assignment may end up sparking change across the country.

text: Hi, New to the forum and new to owning my 2005 Regular Cab 2WD Silverado 1500 W/T. What I got is a really basic truck that's all stock including the AM/FM radio which is soon to be replaced. My question is that the stock radio has a fader to front speakers and there are speaker grills in the doors but I got no sound. Did these trucks come with a stereo with a fader but with only 2 rear pillar speakers? Wouldn't be the strangest thing Chevy has ever done. Also a reputable local stereo installer initially told me I would need a GM0S-01 for about $85 for the door chimes to work. That was when I realized there are no door chimes from my truck if I leave the key in the ignition and open the door or turn the headlght switch to on as opposed to 'Auto' either. Should it? Thanx, -Pete.

Rescued sailor jokes about his ordeal
Frenchman Alain Delord jokes with his Antarctic cruise ship rescuers that his unassisted sail around the world has now been "ruined".
The French yachtsman rescued by an Australian ship from the Southern Ocean says it's a miracle he has been given a second chance at life.
You're hoping for life and for someone to come and rescue you
Alain Delord spent three days in a life raft before being rescued by the cruise ship Orion on Sunday night about 500 nautical miles southeast of Tasmania after his yacht Tchouk Tchouk Nougat was dismasted on a round-the-world voyage.
"It's a second chance at life," he told reporters through a translator after arriving in Hobart on board the Orion on Tuesday.
"It's a miracle the Orion was on the way back. You always hope for the best."
Delord said it had been more than three months since he had left home and his confidence in his vessel had grown.
"[I had] already travelled halfway across the world," he said through the translator. "And then [I] hit bad weather with 60-70 knot winds and by then [I] was in the centre of the depression."
Delord described himself as "pretty lucky" to escape the ordeal with only a few bruises, scratches and swollen hands.
"When first contact happens you know someone's aware and you feel much better," Mr Delord said.
"You're hoping for life and for someone to come and rescue you."
He also thanked his rescuers, saying "merci" several times.
"Thank you to the Australian maritime authorities and thank you to Orion," he said through the translator.
Orion's captain Mike Taylor said the rescue conditions were extremely difficult.
"Once we got there it was touch and go," Captain Taylor said on Tuesday.
"Visibility was very, very bad."
It took the Orion three days to reach Delord.
Captain Taylor said they made good progress in the first two days, but on the last day the wind and swell slowed the ship.
This left the crew with only 20 minutes of daylight to pull Delord from the water after reaching him at 9pm, three hours later than Capt Taylor had hoped.
"The problem with that of course is that the sun sets at 2120 [9.20pm] and although you've got a little bit of twilight you're really under the gun to effect the rescue while you've still got daylight," Captain Taylor said.
"It's not the kind of thing you can do in the hours of darkness."
The ship's crew and expedition team spent the time it took them to reach Mr Delord forming a plan to rescue him.
"My heart was really in my mouth," Captain Taylor said.
The Antarctic cruise liner arrived at Hobart's Macquarie Wharf just after 9am (AEDT) on Tuesday morning.
The ship's 100 passengers crowded the front deck as it docked in front of a small crowd and large media contingent.
Customs, immigration and French consular officials arrived soon after and boarded the vessel.
Mr Delord lost his personal belongings, including his passport, and new documents were organised before he could disembark.
