nothing even if you have a question you have got to pay...
Rooms are very well appointed. Bed is comfortable and nice. We had a sea view that was great. Slow housekeeping service. Breakfest at $30 per person!!?? Much too much.
Nice hotel with pleasant and helpfull staff. Nice rooms, and a perfect location. The hotel is not ready and charges 5 star prices for a 3 star facility. No fitness room, no meeting rooms... it is too expensive for its offerings.
The spa is lovely and the location on the beach is good. The Sheraton Sopot unfortunately was a disappointment. The location was fantastic but the service let it down. Everything was an extra cost from breakfast, use of the spa, internet, late check-out for just one hour. It felt like the hotel just wanted to make money rather than welcome guests. Having come from the Hilton in Gdansk where nothing was too much trouble and there were no extra costs for any of the above we were surprised to find a hotel of similar quality differing so much.
very nice hotel, I had a great time
meals in the restaurant, design of the hotel, location design of the restaurant is like a dining room in student house
I did not get the room which I booked.People from reception were not able to solve my problem.
The only thing we didn't like was we paid extra for a room with a sea view. When we looked out our window it was very hard to see the sea as there were large trees blocking our view. They would not change the rate of our room even though it really wasn't a sea view. They could not move us the first night, but were able to the second night. Our view from the second room was better, but there were still trees blocking some of the view. I also wish the rooms had a real balcony, there are doors that open, but there is only about 6 inches of balcony to stannd on.
Nice location and good facilities. Clean and tidy Most personal good but some of the girls in the reception still think that you have to be dressed in a certain way to stay in the hotel. In Sweden we have a different clothes code maybe moore casual than in Poloand. So one of my collegues got a bit ill treated when we arrived. see above
Very bad room service. We waited over an hour for our order. There was no coffee, milk or toilet paper either.
Sea view, bath robes, luxurious cosmetics, excellent bed and bed linnen, tea and coffee in the room low quality TV, room layout, uncomfortable bar area with the unpleasant smell from the restaurant, no lobby/lauch/relaxing area with sea view. From 5 star hotel being so expensive I expected much more, however the view from the window compensated for everything
Friendly staff and the comfiest bed I have slept in
The quality of the place and the pool indeed. Late checkin time 2pm and early checkout 10am !
The Room was so dirty. We had the same problem last year when we stayed in the same hotel.
Our suite #214 - one of the biggest rooms in the whole hotel! And the individual exclusive feeling of staying in such a historical hotel! If the walls could speak... We ordered food to the room (room service) and it didn´t fullfill the expecations of a 5-star hotel. Plain and standard taste unfortunately...
Lower price - price in Poland for the type of Hotel to high - I have been in other hotel in Gdansk (Novotel) also close to the beach like Sofitel -and the diffirent in price is to high - We are not getting much more at Sofitel compare to Novotel - and the price at Sofitel is more than 25 % more expencive When we have to go to the beach you have to work around the hole hotel - there is no directly entrance to the beach h
Beautiful building and high standard of finish inside, rooms very comfortable and elegantly furnished. Staff very polite and willing to please. I liked the breakfast buffet whihc had a wide variety plus chef cooked breakfast option at no extra cost. 1. Food (dinner) and dining service in this hotel is fair but not up to other European 5 Star hotels and certainly should be better for the price. 2. Although my room was impressively furnished, the bed gave me serious back ache after just one night. I do not have problems with my back and would suggest the bed is too soft 3. No foreign exchange available in such a large and expensive hotel! 4. The Internet connection was so slow it was virtually unusable
The best is the bed, very comfortable. Also, the free internet in the room is ok. Very nice building (hystorical). Lack of english language channels on tv. The central heating system didn't work in first instance, but they fixed it somehow. The internet also couln't work until somebody fixed it. Room service didn't answer several times. Anyway, the resort is more populated in the summer because of the sea side.
swomming poll and sauna
Most comfortable beds in Europe!!!
Central and very helpfull people. My friend got a dry chicken.he got a free pivo for it.he should better be offered free dinner. no extra-no business.
Facilities and the brekfast No
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff everything was fine
The reception desk staff were very helpful & the breakfast was supberb in comfortable surroundings.
Locality of the hotel
Location and the view from the hotel to the main walking area - splendid. You are right in the centre of action. The hotel overall is quite nice. Still - there are a lot of small details that the management should pay attention to. Service - people servicing you are somewhat too relaxed and not attentive or smiling. Food - could be more diversified. And tasty. Cleaning - it seems that the vacuum cleaners are not used. The powder that fell on the floor on Friday was still there on Monday.
Very nice atmosphere at the hotel. Hotel is located near main street where you can find a lot of good restaurants, pubs and bars. Lack of parking lot which belongs to the hotel. In the offer it was mentioned that the price includes spa treatment. Spa was open only on fri until 9:00 and treatment lasted only 10 min!
It was very conveniently located. It had a nice restaurant and pub attached. Breatkfast was very good. Rooms were nice but small. I would not rate this as a 5 star. I would stay here again. Room was small.
A rea pleasure to stay in this hotel: friendly staff, luxurious decoration, very nice bar, complementary drink and spa visit, excellent breakfast, perfect location... Just an occasion to pamper yourself. One person room was rather on the small side.
The most unfriendly receptionist I ever met. Nice rooms. Nice Bathroom
The hotel has a very friendly, relaxed atmosphere, its almost like staying at a friends home.
Excellent food in Restaurant Staff not showing much intgerest to guests requests for services ie afternoon tea, long wait and poor service.No porter to assist on arrival or departure.
service was excellent! Whenever and whatever I needed - I got it immediately! Perfect! I really got pleasure from my staying
The hotel is a smart, clean 4* establishment based in the beautiful Polish seaside resort of Sopot. The hotel is modern, newly built and there's usually a friendly welcome at reception, where they will gladly lend you an umbrella in case of rain - I experienced torrential downpours. Previously I stayed at Sopot's 5* Grand Hotel, possibly Poland's finest. So any other hotel was likely to be a disappointment. At The Grand, the staff always greeted me with a smile and cheerful "Dzień dobry!" (Good Day!) At Hotel Haffner, however, this warm welcome was missing. The Queen sized bed had separate single covers, so I couldn't spread out. The room was quite noisy.
Spot on condition of all facilities, rooms, very friendly staff. No WIFI in the room.
Location, is very hard to find and the sign on main street is showing wrong direction
The very high level of service, professional and friendly. The beds were too small and with very soft mattresses.Most uncomfortable.The shower arrangement was poor and almost impossible to use properly.
Sympathy of all hotel staff members. Comfort. Fine and fast room cleaning. Rooms should have individual safe much more convenient than the set of indidual safes at reception (not always easily accessible due to guests' luggage kept in the safe room).
we had a good time with my family and friends .we will definately go back if we have another free time.
Very elegant hotel with very good spa facilities especially the jacuzzi slightly further from Sopot centre than I would of liked . Recommend asking for room at back of hotel as road is very busy also we were above main entrance and twice were woken by guests talking at entrance once at 5am Would have liked tea/coffee making facilities and safe in the room although there are safes available at reception
Great hotel, fantastic rooms, best service by the staff and very good breakfast. We are going back!
The hotel was charming, staff was responsive. All were generally positive. The bed was not big. There were two pillows - one too large, the second is too small - it was not convenient to sleep
helpful staff to close to very busy railway
Everything was good. Small boutique hotel. Good location just 5 min walk from the city centre.
The design of the rooms is amazing, and the location is super. Extra clean and spacious with a nice price.
Excellent location, cosy room, furnished in modern. Perfect for romantic weekend, for family holidays,or business trip. Recommend!
excellent service, abundant breakfast and very good location
Exceptionally charming and helpful staff, combined with elegant environment and ideal location. The breakfast buffet was one of the best I've had, anywhere.
Perfect location, nice design, great breakfest. Rather small room.
Friendly staff, good location, just 50 metres from the Monte Casino Dtreet The price is charged in zloty, using an exchange rate €1=3,75zlt
The staff were extremely helpful. The room, despite the hotel only being only 200 metres from Monte Cassino, was very quiet. Despite not having air conditioning, it was very hot during our stay, we were provided without asking, with a large electric fan which kept the room cool. The room and en suite were clean and in keeping with the art noveau character of the hotel. The breakfast was excellent in quality choice and quantity. When we used the restaurant facility, again this was of high order. We really enjoyed our stay; the hotel is a good base for exploring Gdansk and Gydinia, the local train runs every 20 minutes to each destination from Sopot. Car parking is secure, on site and free.
Close to center of city, close to friends. The loft was wonderful. Location excellent To have a doctor available, if needed, had to call a friend and then the ambulance.
Location, staff, breakfast.
Great Environment and Staff. Good restaurant. Nice breakfast (except the coffee) Lack of facilities in room, no tea/ coffee, no clock/ radio/ alarm. No hairdryer in bathroom. Surrounding area can be noisy at night.
Very good location. Good restaurant and excellent breakfast buffet. Room was rather spartan - a bed, two hard wooden chairs and a wooden desk, wooden floor. It was clean and tidy and the bathroom was very good, but I expected more comfort for the price
Marvellous breackfast, very helpful staff. Heatings off when outside there were about 5 degrees and the bedroom under roof.
Nice and clean room. Excellent location next to the walking street and pier. Reasonable breakfast. Reception arranged very good taxi driver at very reasonable cost. No lobby bar.
perfect location great thai food downstairs,
Very nice interiors, perfect location, design feeling. nothing
Very nice modern butique hotel. excellent location.
Fantastic location, new building, interesting design of the room The room was relatively small, the check-out process took a little long
The Bayjonn Hotel recently opened (August 2009) and is situated in a centrally located newly developed part of Sopot close to the beach, pier, restaurants and bars. Rooms are spacious with 'designer' style high quality fittings. Very friendly staff. Good breakfast in adjoining cafe/bistro
Very nice, comfortable and modern design both the hotel and the room, nice hotel restaurant with a very good cuisine very good location Too small car park/garage and needs pre-reservation balcony shared with the next door guest which doesn't secure privacy restaurant is excellent but it offers Thai cuisine only
location location location
Great location, very nice and comfortable hotel for business as well as leisure trips. Not very nice view, but in such a location who cares!
service, good breakfast, quiet location, modern design Nothing to complane on
We liked friendly staff, good breakfast, comfortable rooms, quiet, a spa, no complaints, the hotel a good level of service. nothing
Good lacation to the center of Sopot, quite close to the beach. There are no botteled water in the room ( seems strange to me)
Nice room, well laid out and nice location. Balcony is a good feature Although wireless internet is advertised as available throughout the hotel, this is not the case. Unable to connect in the room or at reception. Informed this was a regular occurance. Not impressed with the reponse from the duty manager. Did not stay for the second night.
The hotel is very nice, in a very good and quiet location (150mt from the sea). Free parking inside.
small room, small window, fridge out of order and half drunk bottle inside, old tube tv, no bathtub, how coluld this be a 5star-hotel?
Nice roomey suite with nice balcony. The rooms are clean. Very good restaurant with a feel of TGIF. 10min walk to the main street and 3min walk to the less crowded beach is perfect. Nice Spa in the hotel. The room did not have a minibar. Some of the receptionist needs to be more polite.
friendly and helpful staff,always smiling. clean rooms. quality food at restaurant. close proximity to the beach and only 10 mins walk from town centre.very affordable in relation to sopot prices. single beds were very narrow
The woman on reception when i checked in on the evening of Friday 18th and checked out again on morning Sunday 20th was rude and unfriendly and unhelpful.
more TV channels :) & parking plaes for me was everything o.k.
The only positive aspect of staying there is location (central and close to main attractions). I was very disappointed by this facility. The picture shows a nice building. In reality you enter (on the side) an old staircase to climb to the second (European)/third (American) floor. There is a recently renovated apartment (in a cheap way) where single rooms are rented. Our room was small (with adjacent included bathroom). There was enough space for the bed and tiny table. Old TV set, small closet and folded cheap chairs (with not much space to put them anyway) completed the furnishings. It wasn't a place you would want to spend any more time in than necessary. Across the hall there was a room which was rented to a big group of young people. They didn't have their bathroom so they kept parading half naked all the time. They made a lot of noise at 4.30 in the morning while having a breakfast in the open kitchen. It felt like staying at the dorm! The person supervising is not there (other than the time to collect money and give the key). She didn't even come back for the check out. Overall unless you really like the location and there is nothing else available there, I wouldn't recommend this place.

text: By JONATHAN BERGERWayne Soil and Water Conservation DistrictI have just recently returned from an informational workshop dealing with the issue of underground liquid manure movement in tile-drained fields. It was a multi state event with people from diverse occupations within the agricultural industry in the Midwest coming together to share ideas.The goal was to begin formulating guidelines for livestock producers and commercial applicators on dealing with the increasingly evident issue of liquid manure movement through the soil profile towards subsurface tile. It was first impressed on us why this is a critical issue. The concept of evenly distributed fluid movement through the soil profile seems to be a laboratory concept only, while in reality, areas of concentrated flow, be it water or liquid manure, occur in all soils, with or without subsurface drainage.These concentrated and increased flow areas are known as preferential flow. Macro pores in the soil caused by worms, dry weather with subsequent soil cracks, and decay of plant tissue that are initially comprised of taproot material are believed to be primary channels of preferential flow to subsurface tile. The presence of one or a combinations of these is usually the reason for manure reaching the tile system.To emphasize the extent of the problem we were shown results of a study in Ohio on manure violations. From Jan. 1, 2000 to Dec. 31, 2003, there were 98 reported manure violations in tile lines. They occurred in all areas of the state, but southeast Ohio had considerately less, probably due to the obvious reasons of fewer tiles and less liquid manure being applied. These events also occurred in all seasons of the year.Top reasons noted as to the cause of the violations were: saturated soils, application error, lack of manure storage management, inadequate window of opportunity for application and ponding of manure with irrigation systems.There were some things that became apparent as we heard from individuals located in other states and Ontario. It was obvious the problem occurs across various soil types and farming styles. Dairy and swine manure were the most common violators. When single applications exceed 6,000 to 7,000 gallons per acre the chances for nutrient movement to tile lines dramatically increased.The movement of manure nutrients through preferential flow channels is not usually a consideration before or during the installation of field tile, so emergency measures at the time of the pollution incident can be expensive and time consuming. A producer may not only be fined, but potentially may incur costs with manure recovery from waters of the state, and in Ohio, become required to obtain a permit to operate from the Ohio Department of Agriculture.For the most part producers haven't been informed that it is important to check tile outlets after application. Actual field demonstrations show liquid reaching drainage lines within a minute after hitting the soil surface. (This was on conventionally and no-tilled farmed fields of hay and corn). It was recommended to never apply liquid manure when tile lines are already flowing and to have an emergency action plan should manure reach the tile outlet. This may include tile plugs or a dike system to inhibit flow of contaminants.Some states have not taken as strong an approach to tackling this issue as others. Ohio appears to be on the forefront with regards to making recommendations to alleviate some of the problem. Strategies presented to us by Ohio's Natural Resources Conservation Service state agronomist include a variety of tactics to minimize potential problems. They include using a tool to disrupt or close preferential flow paths to tile. This could be light disking or use of an Aerway type tool during or prior to application.Disking can also help create a "sponge" layer to absorb fluids and the nutrients they contain before reaching preferential flow pathways. One must try to keep soil losses to a minimum and be informed of allowed practices on highly erodible soils. Another recommendation is taking care to adjust application rates to meet what our soil is capable of holding at the time application is made.A chart is included in the NRCS Waste Utilization Standard 633 that gives hands-on information on determining your soils water holding capacity. This standard is available at your soil and water conservation district or on the NRCS Web site at www.nrcs.usda.gov/.One of the preferential flow pathways mentioned was pores created by tissue deterioration where a taproot had existed. The main crop with a taproot in this area would be alfalfa. We have verified that old alfalfa stands are prone to preferential flow. Therefore the same precautions should be taken. If grass that has a mat forming root system is included in the stand, it appears to help alleviate the problem. This leads us to the one problem we haven't discussed, which is runoff flow to tile blowouts or directly to a watercourse.The workshop didn't t deal with runoff, but manure entry to tile does occur in this manner and becomes a point source discharge. Along with repairing the tile, keeping adequate residue or living plant material on the soil surface inhibits water movement. This consequently helps stabilize the soil along with applied manure and commercial fertilizers. Ground cover is one of the best management practices the Wayne Soil and Water Conservation District promotes, not only to reduce runoff, but for a multitude of soil conservation reasons.If you would like more information on the topic of preferential flow, or would like assistance in determining proper manure application rates with the development of a Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan for your farm, call the Wayne Soil and Water Conservation District at (330) 262-2836.Jonathan Berger is the Wayne Soil and Water Conservation District Nutrient Management Specialist.

A Palestinian teenager was shot dead by IDF troops Saturday, Palestinian media reported.
The incident reportedly took place in the Jelazoun refugee camp near Ramallah.
The IDF Spokesperson's Office would neither confirm nor deny the incident, telling The Times of Israel that the military was looking into the report.
According to Army Radio citing Palestinian media sources, the youth was shot in the back while he was walking near a school in the camp, and later died of his wounds in hospital.
The Palestinian Maan news agency identified the youth as Wajih Wajdi al-Ramahi, 14. His family told Maan that their son was "executed" by the Israeli military.

Fast Five Debuts At #1
The first thing I heard this morning when coming into the station was "Man, they crashed a lot of Chargers in that movie!" That comment came from our production director Chris Dyer. He took his son to see the Fast Five over the weekend and said it was great but hopes that all the crashes were computer generated and not real because if it was real, " man they wasted a lot of Chargers!" Chris and his son helped push Fast Five to the #1 spot at the movies this past weekend. The rest of the top 5 after the jump.1. Fast Five, $83.6 million
2. Rio, $14.4 million
3. Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family, $10.1 million
4. Water for Elephants, $9.1 million
5. Prom, $5 million
Just in case you have no idea what the Fast Five is all about it's the 5th installment of The Fast And The Furiuos franchise. Here's the preview.

Environmental Decision Memo for Food Contact Notification No. 000010
Return to inventory listing: Inventory of Environmental Impact Decisions for Food Contact Substance Notifications or
the Inventory of Effective Food Contact Substance Notifications.
See also Environmental Decisions.
Date: February 4, 2000
From: Chemist, Environmental Review Team (ERT)
Division of Product Manufacture and Use (HFS-246)
Subject: Premarket Notification (FCN No. 000010) for Pyromellitic Dianhydride as a Modifier for Ethylene Terephthalate Copolymers
Notifier: Sekisiu Plastics Co., Ltd.
c/o Ungaretti & Harris
Chicago, IL 60602-4283
To: Division of Petition Control (HFS-215)
Attention: Mark Hepp, Ph.D.
Through: Team Leader, ERT
Attached is the Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) that we have prepared for the above cited Premarket Notification. When this notification becomes effective, the EA and FONSI should be made available to the public. Please let us know if there is any change in the identity or use of the food-contact substance that would be inconsistent with the identity and use described in the FONSI.
Hardy J. Chou, Ph.D.
Environmental Assessment for FCN No. 000010
1. Description of the Proposed Action
The proposed action is to provide for the use of pyromellitic dianhydride as a modifier of ethylene terephthalate copolymer up to 0.5 percent by weight of the finished copolymer and under limited use conditions, specifically, conditions of use A through D as described in Table 2 of 21 CFR 176.170(c) and microwaveable. This action was originally requested by Sekisui Plastics Co., Ltd. in Food Additive Petition (FAP) 8B4582, as announced in the Federal Register on February 9, 1998 [63 FR 6571]. The notice of filing contained the agency's decision that approval of the petition would qualify for a categorical exclusion under 21 CFR 25.32(i). This exclusion is for actions for substances present in food-packaging material at not greater than 5 percent-by-weight and that are expected to remain with finished food-packaging material through use by consumers or when the substance is a component of a coating of a finished food-packaging material.
The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act (FDAMA) of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-115) amended section 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) to establish a premarket notification (PMN) process as the primary method for authorizing a new use of a food additive that is a food contact substance. Section 409(h)(6) of the act defines a food contact substance as any substance intended for use as a component of materials used in manufacturing, packing, packaging, transporting, or holding food if such use is not intended to have any technical effect in such food. Under the premarket notification process, a PMN becomes effective 120 days after the date of receipt by FDA, unless FDA determines that, based on the data and information before the agency, the use of the substance is not safe and FDA objects to such notification within the 120-day period. If FDA does not object within 120 days to the use of a food contact substance that is the subject of a PMN, the substance may be legally marketed for the notified use.
In a letter dated October 26, 1999, the Agency told petitioners and requesters who had pending food additive petitions or threshold of regulation (TOR) exemption requests involving the use of a food contact substance, that the petitioned or requested action might be eligible for premarket notification under section 409(h) of the FFDCA. The sponsors were told that they could consider withdrawing the petition or TOR request and resubmitting it as a PMN. The petitioner's representative submitted a letter, dated November 29, 1999, requesting that FAP 8B4582 be converted to a PMN.
The types of substances and the uses of such substances under the categorical exclusion in 21 CFR 25.32(i) are the same whether a sponsor submits a food additive petition, a request for exemption from regulation as a food additive under 21 CFR 170.39, or a PMN. However, a categorical exclusion for allowing a PMN to become effective is not currently one of the enumerated types of actions listed in 25.32(i). Therefore, this Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared for the subject notification.
2. Environmental Consequences of the Proposed Action
This action involves a food contact substance that is a minor component of finished food-packaging material (<5 percent by weight of the finished packaging material) that remains with the packaging through use by consumers. FDA has found that the very small quantities of substances that could potentially enter the environment from this type of use are highly unlikely to have a significant effect on the environment (61 FR 19476 at 19481-19482, May 1, 1996). The basis for FDA's decision to establish the categorical exclusion in 25.32(i) for food additive petitions is the same basis that would be applicable to PMNs. Therefore, FDA's experience with the food additive petitions that it reviewed to support a categorical exclusion for such actions is relevant to PMNs. These additives ordinarily have limited potential for causing any significant environmental effects as a result of their use and disposal. The principal route for potential environmental introduction of the types of substances included under 25.32(i), whether in a food additive petition or in a PMN, results from their disposal after use. These routes of disposal are governed by the regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 40 CFR part 60 (combustors) and part 258 (landfills). Based on the low levels of use of these substances in packaging materials, the introduction of combustion products or introductions at landfill sites are not environmentally significant. The petitioner states that the proposed maximum level of the additive in the polymer is present in the finished food-packaging material at not greater than 5 percent-by-weight and is expected to substantially remain with the finished food-packaging material through use by consumers. Because of the nature of this type of action, we do not expect that any limited increase in environmental introductions resulting from this proposed action will threaten a violation of EPA's regulations governing combustors and landfills or have any other adverse environmental effects.
In the claim of categorical exclusion in FAP 8B4582, the petitioner certified that no extraordinary circumstances were expected that would cause adverse effects on human health or the environment as a result of the use of pyromellitic dianhydride as a modifier, as proposed. We do not believe that the conversion of this petition to a PMN would alter the fact that no extraordinary circumstances are likely to occur as a result of this action.
3. Alternatives to the Proposed Action
Alternatives to the proposed action need not be considered, because no potential adverse environmental effects have been identified.

Finding of No Significant Impact
A Premarket Notification (FCN No. 000010), submitted by Sekisiu Plastics, Co. Ltd., to provide for the safe use of pyromellitic dianhydride as a modifier of ethylene terephthalate copolymer up to 0.5 percent by weight of the finished copolymer and under limited use conditions, specifically, conditions of use A through D as described in Table 2 of 21 CFR §176.170(c) and microwaveable use.
The Environmental Review Team has determined that allowing this notification to become effective will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment and therefore will not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement. This finding is based on an environmental assessment prepared by a scientist on the Environmental Review Team.

Beijing (AFP) Sept 2, 2007
A mysterious disease affecting China's pork-raising industry has spread, and officials have ramped up vaccine output to cope with a "grim" situation, state media reported.
More than 257,000 pigs had been infected with the epidemic, known as blue-eared pig disease, by late August, with 68,000 of them dying, official Xinhua news agency said late Saturday.
Experts quoted in the Western media have expressed doubts about the official figures, suspecting the government is trying to keep a lid on a more serious crisis.
Xinhua quoted a top official as saying more than 100 million pigs had been immunised, but that control efforts faced severe challenges.
"The disease control situation remained grim because the breeding methods in some regions lag behind other regions and long-distance pig deliveries were adding to the hidden trouble," it quoted Vice Agriculture Minister Yin Chengjie as saying.
He said the situation was exacerbated in the vast Yangtze River basin by a warm and wet summer, which has created conditions conducive to spreading the disease, also known as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome.
China will increase monthly production of a vaccine for the disease to 300,000 litres (79,000 gallons) in September, up from a previous 250,000, Yin told Xinhua.
The spread of the disease, which first appeared earlier this year, has emerged as a major health concern for the government and has been blamed for contributing to a sharp spike in prices of pork, a staple of the Chinese diet.

Troy NY (SPX) Aug 30, 2007
As summer temperatures cool in the United States, fewer mosquitoes whir around our tiki torches. But mosquitoes swarming around nearly 40 percent of the world's population will continue to spread a deadly parasitic disease - malaria. Now an interdisciplinary team led by researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has found a key link that causes malarial infection in both humans and mosquitoes.

Overhead Squats for your Core Workout
The news of Steve Jobs hit hard. Not only are we a tech family – the hubby loves his MAC – we are also one of the many families who have dealt with cancer. Last night I thought about Steve Job's family. How hard it must be for them. They didn't lose an icon. They lost their Dad, Husband, Family. To have to share the experience must be both comforting and difficult at the same time. I wonder if they are used to it – I mean he IS Steve Jobs after all. I suppose they also had time to let his illness sink in and process the reality of what was going to happen. Doesn't make it any easier I am sure. My heart goes out to them for their loss.
Whenever we hear of cancer taking someone — it brings back the feelings we experienced during Scott's treatment. Once again, just because the cancer is gone, doesn't mean the Cancer is gone.
It felt great to get a good workout in this morning —
800m jog
5 rounds of bear crawl/crab walk
5 rounds of inchworms/walking lunges
5 Handstands
Overhead Squats
Overhead Squats
L-sits (5x10s holds)
My wrists hurt because I didn't tape them and because –well, Overhead Squats, so I stuck with the 98lbs at the end even though I wanted to get to 100#. Coach Conan stressed that it's not really about the weight during OHS, it's about midline stability. Keeping your core tight is what holds the weight. If you are all loose — there is no way you will lift heavy over your head.
And related — we may not do 'crunches' in CrossFit, but the entire WOD today was about the core. You don't have to hit the gym and say ok let me focus on my abs to get a good ab workout — if you are doing things right, most movements should engage your core, thus working your core, thus getting you a good ab workout. Your workouts can be more efficient — which is what we all want right?

One day, when Marco and I were playing against two computer opponents, we forced one of the AI cycles to trap itself between its own walls and the bottom game border. Sensing an impending crash, it fired a missile, just like it always did whenever it was trapped. But this time was different – instead of firing at another trail, it fired at the game border, which looked like any other light cycle trail as far as the computer was concerned. The missile impacted with the border, leaving a cycle-sized hole, and the computer promptly took the exit and left the main playing field. Puzzled, we watched as the cycle drove through the scoring display at the bottom of the screen. It easily avoided the score digits and then drove off the screen altogether.
Shortly after, the system crashed.
Our minds reeled as we tried to understand what we had just seen. The computer had found a way to get out of the game. When a cycle left the game screen, it escaped into computer memory – just like in the movie.

Forking is incredibly difficult to pull off. It is a painful, but necessary part of the evolution of open source software. Just as in real evolution, I suspect that most forks die in vast, nameless numbers, before they become strong enough to engender any forked progeny of their own. Forking is the absolute bedrock of open source software -- but it is also not a path to be chosen lightly.
But the long tail is a decidedly mixed blessing for creators. Individual artists, producers, inventors and makers are overlooked in the equation. The long tail does not raise the sales of creators much, but it does add massive competition and endless downward pressure on prices. Unless artists become a large aggregator of other artist's works, the long tail offers no path out of the quiet doldrums of minuscule sales.
Other than aim for a blockbuster hit, what can an artist do to escape the long tail? One solution is to find 1,000 True Fans...

Poignant Photo Captures Grieving Michigan Bride At Her Father's Grave [Photo]
This Michigan bride couldn't help but feel a few moments of sadness on what should have been the happiest day of her life. Get the story behind this emotional photo that, thanks to Facebook, has gone viral.
Almost every girl dreams of having her dad walk her down the aisle on her wedding day, but sometimes fate has other plans. 23 year-old Paige Eding, of Zeeland, Michigan lost her father suddenly to a lung infection in 2011. He was just 45.
Keenly feeling his loss, and wanting to somehow make her father a part of this momentous day, she asked to stop at his grave site on the way to the ceremony. "It was a moment of longing and wishing for him," Paige said. " I was so sad that he wasn't there physically."
The resulting photo, below, is completely organic says the photographer. Kari Wieringa, of Zander & Breck Photography. When Wieringa saw the beauty of the photo, she asked for permission to post the photo on the studio's Facebook page. It has since gone viral, with more than 719,808 "likes' and 35,434 "shares". Facebook reports that more than 20 million people have seen it so far.

Average? good deal or really good DEAL?
Hello BMW World!
I thought I did all my homework when placing the order on my X3. So I'm trying to see what you guys think. I live in New York and got the car in Westchester NY. The quote for a 2014 was $750
more so I stuck with the 2013.
Invoice pricing on bmwconfig was $51,905 which included the destination fee, maco fee and training fee. (Not even sure what the maco and training fees are.)
My special order specs:
2013 X3 35i ordered on 3/2/13
Carbon Black Metallic
Leather Nevada Chestnut
Fineline Wave Wood Trim
M Sport Package
Cold Weather Package
Cold Weather Package II
Dynamic Handling Package
Premium Package
Tech package
Cargo net
MSRP $57,175 per BMW website
I paid $52,165 (includes destination fee)
Comes out to 8.76% off MSRP
The only extra fee I'm paying is tax and
Doc fee $75
I could not qualify for any other discount and am paying upfront for the whole thing.
Would you say this is a average deal, good deal or really good deal? I've been reading these forums and you guys say ~7% off MSRP or $500 above invoice is a good deal. But I'm not sure if I'm supposed to add the Maco and training fees to the invoice price as bmwconfig does.
This is my first BMW and all of these packages gave me a headache making me go above my limit of what I was looking to spend but i wanted the packages so badly.
Also I'm thinking of buying the tire warranty 5years $1,449 they offer when you pick up the car as the roads in NYC suck. Do you think they are willing to lower the price on that?
Thanks again for your replies.

Jessica Simpson Goes Short For a Date Night With Eric and Friends
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson stepped out in LA for a date night Saturday. They were joined by friends, including CaCee Cobb, for a grown-ups-only meal at Fig & Olive. It was just the latest celebration for the couple, after they partied for Eric's 33rd birthday last week. Little Maxwell was on hand for that event, and Jessica shared sweet snaps from the bash on Twitter. Jessica has been focused on her new family of three, as well as her postbaby body lately. She chatted about working with Weight Watchers during an interview with Katie Couric earlier this month, and showed off her fit frame in a short, sparkly dress during the weekend outing.

MJ 536/TVD Eyewear
As a customer of Edel-Optics, you are totally aware that eyewear can crown your style. This accessory makes you look very smart when you are out and about and convincing in the office and in your leisure time. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of MJ 536in our 2016, and 2017 Marc Jacobs range.
The frame is specially designed for men. Sporting clear lines, New School Cool meets traditional quality. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The square shape gives round faces a concise form and makes them appear more striking. It sets a highlight in the appearance, drawing attention to itself. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The MJ 536 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Havana is a particularly warm, "spotted" shade of brown and can be found in almost every collection. The colour dates back to the origin of eyewear, when frames were made of turtle shells. Havana makes your face appear softer and can be ideally combined with autumn and spring colours.
Moreover, we can also provide you with the correct prescription lenses at an incredibly low price. The only thing you need to provide us with are your current dioptre values determined by your ophthalmologist. Together with our digital dispensing optician, you can choose between reasonably priced brand lenses from Germany or premium brands such as Seiko, Hoya and Rodenstock. Edel-Optics' plastic lenses have many features such as anti-reflection coating, lotus effect, cleaning coating, antistatic and hard coating at no extra charge.
The model is in stock. If you order now with the express shipping option, we can even guarantee the time of delivery. And we have kept the best for last: ordering immediately is worthwhile, because this top model is now in the sale! But only while stock lasts.

I don't even know where to start...but I can tell you that I'm at the end of my rope and very frustrated with my situation right now. I am 41 years old and since late June (6 months now), I have not had a pain-free day. When I first had the pain, I just KNEW it was the flu as I've had it before. The flu muscle aches are hard to forget. I only ran a low grade fever, but still went to the doctor for a flu test. It was negative. After a few weeks of continued pain, off and on low grade fever (between 99 and 100.5) and general malaise, I went back to the doctor and had blood work done. Everything was normal. Long story short...I've been to a rheumatologist, infectious disease specialist, and a vascular surgeon. Tons of blood tests have been done and we have no diagnosis...except for Raynaud's--which I already knew I had and doesn't explain my pain. The pain is horrible and mostly in my arms and legs...sometimes in my fingers and toes. I also have a weird itchy, red, flaky rash around one of my eyes now. I get the low grade fever about twice a month. My family doctor says it's stress and I need to try to be happy. My husband says I'm becoming a bore and believes it's all in my head. I don't know what to do. I'm tired of hurting. It's really affecting my quality of life. I can't be the mom or wife I want to be while feeling this bad.READ MORE
What could be causing horrible pain in arms and legs and how can I make it go away? Help!
Like Cort, fibromyalgia was the first thing I thought of, too. In fact, FM is often described as feeling like you have the flu all the time.
You sound so much like me. I was a year younger than you when I began having similar symptoms. For seven years doctors told me it was stress and/or I was "just getting older." Back then very few doctors knew anything about fibromyalgia. Although we still have a way to go, things have improved significantly since then.
Here's a link to lots of information on FM: Fibromyalgia
I'd suggest reading through the basic articles. If you think that sounds like what's going on with you, try to find a doctor who has experience in treating FM. In the past two years, three medications have been approved for treating FM, so there are more options available than ever before.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. I hope you're able to get an accurate diagnosis soon.
Have you it checked for fibromyalgia? FM is associated with body wide pain, can be triggered by the flu and doesn't show up on laboratory tests - since there is no marker for it. It doesn't always respond to traditional pain medications either. If you've gone through the wringer and nothing shows up yet you're still in pain see if you can find a Dr. who is knowledgeable in fibromyalgia.
Just being in pain causes increased stress and anxiety which in turn feeds on the pain and stress. Relaxation exercises can actually be quite helpful with pain. You might want to try a mindfulness-based stress reduction course (MBSR). They were developed for people in pain and they can be found in many areas.

An Amazing Rubythroat Journey
More Slideshows
By Land or By Sea? Overwintering Ruby-throats begin moving north as early as January, and by the end of February they are at the northern coast of the Yucatan. Some hummers travel by land — skirting around the Gulf of Mexico and following the Texas Coast north. Others migrate over water — 500 miles across the Gulf.
Fueling Up How do hummers fuel up for migration? They gorge on insects and spiders — almost doubling their weight in about a week. Layers of fat build up on the hummingbird's back, belly, and throat. A licensed bander gently blew on this hummer's feathers to see the white band of fat on its belly.
Flight Risks A hummer flaps its wings 75 times per second during flight. It can fly about 25 miles an hour — and even faster with tailwinds. Imagine the risks a tiny bird could encounter on its 500 mile trip across the Gulf of Mexico. What if fat reserves deplete before the tiny hummingbird reaches land 18-22 hours from the start?
Reaching Land After doubling its weight, from about 3.25 grams to over 6 grams, a hummer may weigh only 2.5 grams when it reaches land. Finding abundant food and water sources is essential in the coastal habitats along the Gulf.
Arriving First Hummers reach the coast in late February or early March. Males depart the Yucatan first, followed about 10 days later by the first females. The migration is spread over a three-month period, which prevents a catastrophic weather event from wiping out the population. Are spring habitats ready when the hummers arrive?
When Will Your Hummers Arrive? Look at wind maps to predict which days hummers will cross the Gulf of Mexico, and then watch the Journey North map to see when and where sightings are reported from the Gulf States. Once in North America, migration proceeds at an average rate of about 20 miles per day. Hummingbirds generally follow the earliest blooming of flowers they prefer.

A Practical Approach to Accurate Classification and Staging of Mycosis Fungoides and Sézary Syndrome
Bjorn Rhys Thomas, MBBS1 and Sean Whittaker, MB, MD, FRCP2
Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCL) are rare forms (2%) of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas with an annual incidence of 0.3-1 per 100,000.1 These lymphomas include both primary cutaneous T-cell (75%) and B-cell lymphomas defined by presentation at the time of diagnosis without any extracutaneous sites of disease.1 In 2005, the two classification systems for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), namely the World Health Organization (WHO) and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), were combined, providing distinct subtypes based on clinico-pathologic criteria (Table 1).1,2
A confident diagnosis of MF can only be made from a combination of clinical and pathologic findings. Characteristic pathologic features include cytologically atypical lymphocytes with cerebriform nuclei (described above) either colonizing the basal layer of the epidermis (epidermotropism) or forming clusters of cells in the epidermis (Pautrier microabscesses) with or without a band of cytologically atypical cells in the upper dermis.1,8,9 An algorithm for the diagnosis of early-stage MF has been suggested by the International Society of Cutaneous Lymphoma (ISCL), which includes clinico-pathological correlation and immunophenotypic and clonal T-cell receptor gene rearrangement studies, providing minimum criteria for diagnosis (Table 2).2,8 For SS, ISCL recommends the presence of erythroderma and the demonstration of the same T-cell clone (using polymerase chain reaction [PCR] or Southern blot of the T-cell receptor [TCR] gene) in skin and blood plus one of the following: Sézary cell count >1000 cells/mm3; expanded CD4+ population with CD4/CD8 ratio >10; or loss of T-cell antigens (CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5 and CD7).1 It must be appreciated that the diagnosis of early MF can be difficult and repeated biopsies may be required.2,8 Careful clinico-pathological evaluation with a dermatologist and experienced pathologist in PCLs is recommended (Table 3).
The management of MF/SS is a stage-based approach derived from the TNM (tumor-node-metastasis) Classification of Malignant Tumours (Table 4). Patients with Stage IA, IB or IIA have an early stage disease compared to IIB (tumor), III (erythroderma), and IV (pathologically involved nodes - IVA; visceral involvement - IVB) have advanced-stage disease (Table 5).2 Of note , there are two main classifications for lymph node involvement. The Dutch system defines atypical cells as cerebriform cells with a diameter >7.5 µm - increasing grade is associated with increased involvement of these cells.10 The second system, the National Cancer Institute and Veterans Administration Hospital (NCI-VA) classification focuses primarily on the number of cells within the paracortex of the lymph node and their subsequent effect on the structure of the node.11
The prognosis of MF/SS is primarily based on stage, particularly the extent/type of lesions and presence of extracutaneous disease,1,2 emphasising the importance of thorough patient workup. Of note, MF/SS are thought as incurable diseases but the majority of patients with MF have an indolent disease course with 65-85% of patients being stage IA or IB at diagnosis.2,12-14
Successful treatment of MF/SS requires appropriate classification/ staging, multi-disciplinary input and personalized patient therapy (including age, co-morbidities, and performance status).2 Treatment should be focused on trying to induce sustained remission as measured by tumor burden.16 At present, there are no curative therapies and sometimes palliative options are the only appropriate therapeutic intervention18 with maintenance of a patients quality of life. The standard approach for early stage disease is skin-directed therapy including topical agents, phototherapy, and radiotherapy. Long-term durable remissions are rare. Total skin electron beam (TSEB) therapy and immunobiologics are key options for patients with disease that is resistant to skin-directed treatments. Patients in advanced disease stages often receive chemotherapy but responses are rarely sustained. Several novel agents such as fusion toxins (denileukin diftitox), bexarotene, and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have received US FDA approval during the last few years and offer promising alternatives to chemotherapy. Similarly, data on antibodies such as alemtuzumab suggests significant and occasionally durable responses. Table 7 summarizes many of the available therapies.
Appropriate therapy for advanced stages of MF/SS can only be initiated based on a multi-disciplinary approach (including dermatologists, pathologists, and oncologists) to classification and staging. Accurate staging and work-up will allow appropriate therapy and prognostic details to be delivered to each individual patient.

Zimbabwe is in economic meltdown, with the world's highest rate of inflation of 1,000% and chronic unemployment. Here Lovemore, 32, explains how he started to sell petrol on the black market.
I used to play soccer but I could not survive with football so I had to find a job.
It is difficult in Zimbabwe and I saw people couldn't survive.
I saw people could only buy petrol on the black market because all the petrol stations had run out.
So I started going to get petrol from farmers because it was cheaper there because the government supplied farmers with fuel.
Some of the farmers get more fuel than they use.
I take the petrol back to Harare and then I sell it for a better price.
But it's hard because the police are after you.
My wife now goes to Botswana to buy goods there like cell phones, clothes and then she goes back again and comes back.
Now you need about 20m Zimbabwe dollars ($198) a month to survive here - not including rent.
If you include rent, transport and whatever, oh my God, you can't calculate it.
But then if you go to work you don't get paid 20m, they pay you 7m.
You need food at work, breakfast, lunch, supper, so I think the black market is better to survive in Zimbabwe.

A Miami family had a surprise, and unwelcomed, Christmas visitor: a 13-foot Burmese python in their swimming pool, according to news reports from South Florida.
Suladie Miranda found the snake "curled up in the corner of the pool" and called 911, WSVN-TV reports.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue's "venom response" team responded. (Note: Pythons are not venomous.) It took three tries to nab the slithering intruder, which slipped away and went for a swim before being captured.
The snake was caged and taken to a farm in Homestead. Officials say it most likely had been someone's pet and either escaped or was set loose when the owner could not longer care for it.
As the Bradenton Herald notes, Burmese pythons are a problem in South Florida:
In the Everglades, and its surrounding farm and wild lands, a population estimated in the thousands has eaten everything from alligators to endangered wood rats. Two months ago, in the latest gruesome find, South Florida Water Management District workers captured a 16-footer swollen with a 76-pound deer inside.
Florida wildlife managers have moved swiftly on the snake threat, last year effectively banning personal ownership of Burmese pythons and seven other constrictors as pets.
Although Florida has cracked down on the python trade, a proposed ban on the import and interstate sale of the Burmese pythons and eight other large exotic snakes has been "swallowed up in White House bureaucracy for nearly a year," The Miami Herald writes.
Despite the pressure, the effort to declare the snakes "injurious species" through a cumbersome administrative process called the Lacey Act remains in doubt. The proposal has been buffeted by surging anti-regulatory fervor in Washington and scientific controversy over whether the snakes really pose much of a risk beyond South Florida.

A week ago last Monday, a single failed hard drive in a hardware RAID 10 configuration took down a server running Oracle 10g R1 on a Dell PE 2650. Yes, that RAID volume supported the OS mount points but isn't thepoint of (hardware) RAID 10 to handle the fault and not propagate the failure to the OS? A replacement of the failed drive and a system restart kicked in the auto-rebuild of the volume, but still I was unhappy that the unit didn't take the hit and kept ticking. I haven't had a window yet to upgrade the firmware and drivers and see if that alleviates the problem. Months ago, a refurbished Dell PE 2800 repeatedly threw errors when running a large import job. The internal RAID 10 vols would simply go offline. Replacing the PERC (poweredge raid controller) resolved the issue. At a client site, a Dell PE 6350 under load would occassionally lose all connectivity with its pair of direct attached SCSI RAID PV 220S units, across a pair of perc cards. Fortunately is was only the test system and not production and a system restart would remount the volumes. Across several installations, Dell + EMC Clarion units have been stable and solid.
