A Pilot Comparison of Standardized Online Surgical Curricula for Use in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. JAMA Surg. 2014;149(4):341-346. doi:10.1001/jamasurg.2013.4830
© 2017
Surgical conditions are an important component of global disease burden, due in part to critical shortages of adequately trained surgical providers in low- and middle-income countries.
To assess the use of Internet-based educational platforms as a feasible approach to augmenting the education and training of surgical providers in these settings.
Design, Setting, and Participants
Access to two online curricula was offered to 75 surgical faculty and trainees from 12 low- and middle-income countries for 60 days. The Surgical Council on Resident Education web portal was designed for general surgery trainees in the United States, and the School for Surgeons website was built by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland specifically for the College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern Africa. Participants completed an anonymous online survey detailing their experiences with both platforms. Voluntary respondents were daily Internet users and endorsed frequent use of both print and online textbooks as references.
Main Outcomes and Measures
Likert scale survey questionnaire responses indicating overall and content-specific experiences with the Surgical Council on Resident Education and School for Surgeons curricula.
Survey responses were received from 27 participants. Both online curricula were rated favorably, with no statistically significant differences in stated willingness to use and recommend either platform to colleagues. Despite regional variations in practice context, there were few perceived hurdles to future curriculum adoption.
Conclusions and Relevance
Both the Surgical Council on Resident Education and School for Surgeons educational curricula were well received by respondents in low- and middle-income countries. Although one was designed for US surgical postgraduates and the other for sub-Saharan African surgical providers, there were no significant differences detected in participant responses between the two platforms. Online educational resources have promise as an effective means to enhance the education of surgical providers in low- and middle-income countries.
Surgical conditions are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to disease burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and treating these diseases can be a cost-effective way to improve global public health.1,2 Physical infrastructure and access to supplies are critical limitations to surgical capacity in LMICs, but personnel training can be the most difficult and resource-intensive hurdle to improving delivery of care.3 No reliable estimates of the "global surgical workforce" exist,4 but there is general agreement on a shortage of surgical education in resource-limited regions of the world.5- 7 Furthermore, the paucity of local workforce training in rural and remote regions is exacerbated by poor retention of health care workers in those areas.8
Traditionally, these human resource shortages have been partly addressed by secular or faith-based organizations, which offer training through short-term workshops or longer-term attachments. Some organizations have established full training programs in resource-poor areas. Short-term missions are limited by their duration, cost, and sustainability, while longer-term programs face challenges in integrating with local surgical training programs. Surgeons in low-income countries have developed individual curricula for surgical training, but teaching faculty are often limited. While multiple strategies exist, the ideal model for educating providers in LMICs using a combination of local and international resources is unknown.9- 11
Online education is rapidly becoming available in LMICs.12 In the United States and Europe, standardized Internet-based curricula for surgical education are emerging as sophisticated tools for specialty training and continuing education. Groups such as the American Board of Surgery (ABS) and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) have been instrumental in developing valuable resources on the Internet for their constituent communities. For the RCSI, its School for Surgeons initiative has also successfully begun to address a shortage of surgical education resources in southern, central, and eastern Africa.
The purpose of this study was to survey surgical faculty and trainees in LMICs regarding two unique Internet-based surgical education curricula—one developed for African surgeons and one developed for US surgical residents—to assess the contextual suitability of both as educational tools in LMICs and to identify potential challenges to their international use. There are limited reports of provision of distance learning programs to Africa,13,14 but to our knowledge, no objective evaluations have been conducted of factors that facilitate or hinder the effective use of online surgical resources.
The ABS is an independent, nonprofit organization founded in 1937. Its principal objective is to serve the US public by certifying surgeons who are suitably trained and qualified according to its standards. The ABS is composed of a board of directors representing the leading surgical organizations in the country.
The RCSI is 1 of 5 colleges in the National University of Ireland. It was granted a charter in 1784, before which its membership comprised a section of the Barbers Surgeons' Guild. As a contemporary medical institution, RCSI administers undergraduate degrees in medicine, nursing, and pharmacy and has locations in Dublin and abroad. It also provides oversight of Irish postgraduate surgical education and certifies practitioner competencies.
The College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern Africa (COSECSA) is an independent body formed in 1996 to standardize surgical education within the region. It grew out of the Association of Surgeons of East Africa, an older organization dating back to the 1950s. It offers certification of surgical qualifications in 9 countries in sub-Saharan Africa: Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
The Surgical Council on Resident Education (SCORE), a consortium formed in 2006 by the principal organizations involved in surgical education within the United States, is led by the ABS.15 SCORE has developed an online competency-based curriculum focused in 6 competencies identified by the US Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education: patient care and technical skills, medical knowledge, professionalism, communication, practice-based learning, and systems-based practice. Topics parallel the 5-year general surgical postgraduate training program and reflect the requirements for ABS certification in general surgery in the United States. Content is administered by the SCORE Council and distributed via the SCORE Curriculum web portal (http://www.surgicalcore.org), which is intended to provide trainees with easy access to high-quality educational materials while also facilitating program instruction and self-study. More than 95% of general surgery training programs in the United States currently subscribe to the web portal. Currently, domestic charges for use are a $500 program fee plus $125 per resident annually.
In 2010, the RCSI successfully launched a dedicated e-learning platform for use by COSECSA faculty and surgical trainees (www.schoolforsurgeons.net). Using an open-source platform, the site was developed in a collaborative fashion by both RCSI and COSECSA faculty and is currently hosted in Ireland. More than 600 unique users have been registered, including COSECSA fellows, trainees, and accredited medical practitioners. Cost of the program is subsidized by RCSI; there are no charges for use for COSECSA members.
An institutional review board approved the survey that was sent to participants, whose consent was obtained as part of receipt of their completed surveys. An open invitation was extended to surgeon educators and surgical trainees in LMICs. Prospective participants voluntarily responded via e-mail, providing contact information, hospital affiliation, level of surgical training, and country of practice. Respondents who were identified as surgeons or surgeons-in-training in countries designated as LMICs (defined by the World Bank) were enrolled; all others were excluded. Final participants were granted full online access to the SCORE and School for Surgeons websites for the 30-day review period. They were asked to familiarize themselves broadly with the two curricula in the context of their potential uses in their local surgical practice or training. Participants were encouraged to explore the available online resources offered on each platform. In addition, to ensure that comparable content was experienced by users within each web-based curriculum, participants were requested to complete a specific content module covering inguinal hernia care within each system.
Following completion of the inguinal hernia modules and self-directed review of each website, participants were asked to complete an anonymous online survey. Google Docs (Google) was used to administer the survey and compile responses. Survey questions were created via a cognitive interview process between representatives of SCORE, the School for Surgeons, and the COSECSA Council and were tested internally. Statistical significance between groups was calculated using a Fisher exact test to compare the proportion of collated responses that "agree" or "strongly agree" with the respective question (Prism, version 5; GraphPad Software).
Seventy-five participants were enrolled and 27 survey responses were recorded from 12 different countries (Figure). Thirteen (48%) were self-identified as surgical trainees, 11 (41%) as attending physicians or consultants, and 3 (11%) gave no response indicating level of training. The median year of medical school completion was 2003 (range, 1966-2009). Respondents were predominately male (85%), identified themselves as daily Internet users, and endorsed frequent use of both print and online textbooks as references (Table 1).
Responses to survey questions assessing the two platforms are compiled in Table 2. All comparisons of affirmative Likert scale responses regarding both the overall curriculum and the content-specific inguinal hernia module were not significantly different. Respondents agreed that they would use the curricula regularly if available and recommend both resources to colleagues. Regarding indications for use and perceived challenges to adoption of the curricula, respondents chose that they would use them most often to prepare for an upcoming lecture or operative case (Table 3). Slow Internet connection and technical issues were listed as the largest impediments to using the web portals.
Through an unprecedented partnership between the ABS, RCSI, and COSECSA, the present study is the first to our knowledge to assess the suitability and practicality of two high-quality online resources for surgical education. After a guided experience and full access to the SCORE and School for Surgeons websites, respondents from 12 LMICs provided feedback that both systems were well organized and easy to use. Although the local practice environments of participants varied greatly, survey results indicated that the content was broadly relevant. Most important, respondents strongly believed that they would use the curricula regularly and recommend the web portals to colleagues.
The Internet has had an enormous effect on the ability to distribute educational content and promises to continue to revolutionize higher education.16 Medical professionals have a high degree of responsibility for teaching and learning that continues throughout their careers, and the medium by which they choose to disseminate and gather information has an assortment of effects on pedagogy.17 Internet access has traditionally been thought to be a significant limitation to medical education in LMICs, although the Ptolemy project has demonstrated that African surgeons prefer electronic resources over print references, and if access to current information is improved, surgeons are documented to read and learn more.18,19
Interestingly, within the context of the present study, Internet accessibility was not identified as a major challenge by respondents. Website speed and performance were reported sufficient in most cases, even in an area of the world that is widely regarded to be behind the "digital divide."20 Online access is a great equalizer when it comes to the spread of information.21 Improvements in infrastructure and programs such as the O3b satellite constellation22 promise to continue to increase penetration of Internet access to rural and remote areas of LMICs. This can facilitate international collaboration and easily play a role in alleviating misdistribution of surgical education resources.23 Furthermore, we have herein noted that, content aside, electronic learning systems appear robust and easily scaled up for groups of new users who would not otherwise have access to the information.
Despite any study limitations, we were impressed with a few interesting points. Even in the United States, broad availability of the SCORE web portal was preceded by uncertainty regarding the utility of delivering web-based content to trainees.15 These concerns have subsided since reception to training programs has been excellent, to the extent that training programs and policies are being structured around the curriculum.24 Before starting this study, we had surmised that some respondents would desire curricula specifically designed for their local context. For example, the US-based SCORE system incorporates use of laboratory and imaging technologies that may not be as readily available to LMIC practitioners. Also, there is little in the curriculum regarding surgical conditions related to infectious diseases endemic to LMICs but rarely encountered in the United States. However, survey responses consistently reflected wide agreement with the relevance and suitability of the SCORE curriculum to training and practice throughout Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Similarly, feedback was generally positive after use of the School for Surgeons website, despite many respondents hailing from countries outside the COSECSA region for which it was designed. When the two websites were compared with each other, there were no significant differences in survey responses assessing the overall curricula and the content specific to modules on inguinal hernia. It is apparent that respondents saw value in both Internet-based systems despite their differences in presentation and focus.
These data are subject to the biases of survey-based research, including undercoverage and voluntary response bias. Specifically, our enrollment methods using primarily electronic communication and instruction exclusively in English were sources of bias when interpreting our results. Surgeons who are accustomed to routine Internet use are likely to feel more comfortable with online education platforms. Even within developing countries, access to computers and the Internet varies greatly, and this study may have been unable to reach practitioners in extremely rural or remote areas as well as those that have not routinely adopted computer use. Although this may limit the generalizability of our findings, we expect that rapid growth of Internet connectivity in LMICs, particularly among educated professionals, will mitigate that bias over time. Generally, our 36% response rate is near expected for nonincentivized research involving health care workers.25 Last, some participants hailed from COSECSA nations and may have had previous exposure to the School for Surgeons curriculum.
These data suggest that use of online surgical training curricula can augment the education and training of a surgical workforce in resource-limited environments. Further studies will identify ways to scale up the use of these Internet-based systems for educational outreach in LMICs, evaluate their effect on training and surgical disease burden, and create standardized curricula.

Two channel aficionados seek pure, unprocessed sound and often find it only in analog components and vinyl recordings. By comparison, the very essence of home theater is digital signal processing and decoding and often the two are seen as incompatible. As a result, it is not unusual for serious enthusiasts to have two entertainment systems, a pure two-channel system and a dedicated home theater system. Until now, this is often thought to be the only way to get the best of both worlds. The Parasound Halo P 7 shatters this myth and introduces an elegant way to get the best of both worlds from the same system.

Features of the Parasound P 7

The P 7 is an analog control amplifier from Parasound's flagship line of Halo components. It is designed to be the centerpiece of a high-end stereo system and a control center for a multichannel home theater system. The P 7 is both a two-channel pre-amplifier and a multichannel control pre-amplifier.

As a two-channel component, the P 7 has seven RCA analog inputs including a switchable moving magnet/moving coil phonograph input and a tape loop for analog recording equipment. It also features left/right balanced-line inputs for a CD player or other component equipped with XLR outputs. Balanced-line connections are important for a lower noise floor and longer cable lengths. The P 7 also has dual eight-channel analog inputs, one set for a multichannel source component (A Blu-ray player with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD decoding and analog outputs, or an SACD/DVD-A player) and the other set for connection to a home theater system.

Other features include analog bass management for two channel and multichannel, an input renaming function (very useful for switching between stereo and home theater), headphone level, maximum volume setting, balance and tone controls, trim controls for speaker levels and an input assign mode for linking the pre-amp with Parasound's optional HDMI video switcher. The setup menus are simple and the blue front panel display lights are clear and easy to read.

How to Connect the Parasound P 7

There are two ways to connect the P 7 as a two-channel and multichannel pre-amp:

The first method uses a separate two-channel power amp for the front stereo channels and an existing AV receiver to power the center and surround and/or surround back channels. In this configuration, the front and subwoofer pre-outs of a home theater receiver connect to the front and subwoofer multichannel inputs of the P 7. The front amp outputs of the P 7 then connect to a two-channel amplifier to power the front stereo speakers and the sub output is connected to a powered subwoofer system. The receiver's surround (surround and surround back channels) and center channel amps power the rest of the system.

The second method uses an existing AV receiver and either a two-channel amp for the stereo speakers and an additional three or five-channel power amp for the rest of the system. In this scenario, the pre-outs of all channels of the receiver are connected to one of the multichannel inputs of the P 7, which then connects to outboard power amps. In both setups, the Parasound P 7 handles the two-channel analog signal and the receiver handles the digital audio and video signal processing.

Theater Bypass Mode

Both connections methods use the Theater Bypass Mode in the P 7 for home theater listening. When Theater Bypass is activated, the pre-amp outputs of the P 7 are fixed and the receiver's volume control is used to adjust playback level. The Theater Bypass mode affects only the multichannel inputs of the P 7. When listening to two-channel sources the P 7 volume control is used.

If my descriptions sound a little awkward, its implementation is simple and straightforward. In both examples, stereo reproduction is optimized and home theater can easily be integrated into the system. The best amp and speakers are used for pure stereo reproduction and the receiver handles digital processing for home theater sound. It's an elegant solution and provides the best of both worlds in a single home entertainment system.

System Setup & Testing

I chose setup method two for evaluating the Parasound P 7. I connected the pre-outs of my Yamaha 5.1 channel AV receiver to one of the multichannel inputs of the P 7 and the pre-amp outputs to a Parasound 5250 five-channel power amp I am using for another review. I connected the multichannel outputs of my Blu-ray player to the other multichannel input on the P 7 because my receiver doesn't have Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD audio decoding. The output of the player is fixed and I activated the Theater Bypass Mode on the P 7 so my AV receiver controlled the volume. This setup used a boat-load of cables, but was easy to connect. The P 7's well-written owner's manual includes easily understood explanations and connection diagrams.

Audio Performance

It may be news to two-channel newcomers, but it is old news to music lovers that vinyl recordings are making a comeback. Some artists are selling vinyl-only releases of new recordings or offering them in both CD and vinyl simultaneously. With that in mind, my first audition of the P 7 was its phono stage using my recently reconditioned Thorens TD 125 MKII turntable with its fabled Rabco SL-8e linear tracking tonearm sporting a Denon DL-160 high-output moving coil cartridge. The Rabco tonearm is a fussy device, but when working well, it has outstanding sound qualities, complemented by the Parasound P 7, which has an excellent phono stage.

The phono stage of the P 7 alone makes it a component worthy of praise. My Original Master Recording of Linda Ronstadt's 'What's New' sounded better than the DVD-Audio disc of the same recording. Ronstadt's dynamic voice had soundstage depth that I haven't heard on my DVD-A recording of the same album. At the risk of sounding like an audio snob, the vinyl had more air and space around her voice than the digital disc. I attribute this partly to the quality of the recording, but only a clean, accurate phono stage can bring out the finer qualities of a good vinyl recording.

When used in a home theater system, the Parasound P 7 is mostly a pass-through component, however many of its controls and adjustments are designed for home theater listening. The subwoofer trim and front-rear balance controls are helpful for adjusting sub level and speaker balance in a home theater system.

One Note of Caution

Although I enthusiastically recommend the P 7, I also recommend caution when adjusting volume. The volume control can be raised very quickly with even a quarter turn and the absence of detents lacks the tactile feel that helps the user gauge the level of volume increase. I nearly damaged a pair of very expensive speakers by inadvertently increasing the volume while not looking at the front panel display. A user error to be sure, and it's not a reason to overlook the P 7, just a cautionary note. Perhaps I should have used the P 7s maximum volume function.

Conclusion

One of the biggest challenges I face when writing reviews is resisting the temptation to buy everything I like and the Parasound P 7 is a case in point. I enjoy pure two-channel sound as much as a dynamic home theater and the P 7 makes it simple to have the best of both worlds in one system.

If I seem favorably impressed, you're correct. Part of the thinking behind the Parasound P 7 is that speakers that sound good in a two-channel system will also work well in a home theater system and it's generally true. Important sonic characteristics such as clarity, dynamic range and transparency are desirable in stereo and home theater systems and the P 7 delivers on all counts.

It's still early, but the Parasound P 7 will likely be one of my top picks for 2009.

Contract lawyers have experience writing contracts and agreements; they know the correct contract formats and legal terms to protect and enhance your rights in case things don't go as planned. Should you need to sue someone, a written contract gives the judge a basis for determining your rights. If you want to draw up a legal agreement, if you're wondering if you can get out of a contract that's gone bad, or if you believe that someone has not lived up to the terms of a contract, you should consult a contract lawyer.

Course description
It is sometimes said in contemporary art circles that curators are the new artists. Curating involves a wide range of activities, including research, selection, commissioning, collaboration with artists, recontextualization, presentation, interpretation, and critical writing. This production seminar considers curatorial practice as a form of cultural production. Particular attention is paid to questions of spectatorship, materiality, and institutional context. Readings include Pierre Bourdieu, Hans-Ulrich Obrist and Claire Bishop. Students produce curatorial projects, give presentations, take field trips to visit exhibitions, and attend the Brown/RISD Curatorial Lectures.
Course Meeting Time and Location
Fridays 3:00pm - 5:50pm
135 Thayer Street 102
Course Goals
1. Develop an understanding of contemporary curatorial practices and related theoretical positions.
2. Produce curatorial projects that interrogate or extend key concepts and strategies articulated in class.
3. Develop skills of aesthetic evaluation and selection, critical analysis, communication (oral, written, and visual), project management, and teamwork.
A course packet is available as a PDF or in print form at Allegra, 102 Waterman Street at Thayer: 401-421-5160 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Packets are ordered and then printed for next day pick-up. Allegra is closed Saturday and Sunday, so keep this in mind for the first reading!
Nota Bene: Assignments are not considered complete until they have been adequately documented on the wiki. See How to Document your Project for the Wiki for details.
- For each project your personal page should contain, at a minimum, the following:
- A thumbnail image;
- A project title that links to your project page.
- A statement that describes your project and sheds light on your intentions and, if relevant, your process.

Dates TBD: Curatorial Project Presentation
Each student will give a presentation on a curatorial project selected in consultation with the instructor. You must use Slides, Google's presentation tool, to both create and deliver your presentation. Don't use PowerPoint and then convert it to Slides, and don't use Keynote, Prezi, or any other presentation software. Don't make text-heavy slides. Do use images and/or embedded video to show the work you are discussing.
Possible presentation dates are listed on the syllabus, and you will be asked to select a date during the second class. Presentations must be linked from the student work page and your personal page and should be* 20-30 minutes* long. They should include a detailed description along with interpretation and critical analysis of the project, and should make reference to relevant readings and other course materials.

- Rehearse your presentation to make sure it is no longer than 30 minutes.
- Relax and enjoy yourself!
Feb 15: Living Room Exhibition Proposal
Make and deliver a proposal for an exhibition in one of the Living Room spaces in the Granoff Center. You must use Slides, Google's presentation tool, to create and deliver your proposal. Your proposal should be 5-10 minutes long, and should include your exhibition's title, its theme or topic, and a tentative list of works, with the titles and dates of the works, the media used, the name(s) of the artists, and other relevant information. Discuss how you will install/present the work. Do includes images and/or video of the works on your list. The four most promising proposals will be selected for production and teams of three students will be assigned to curate each project.

Ukitake sat on a train and looked outside his window. His long white hair was put up in a pony tail and his legs were crossed. His book rested on his leg with his thumb holding the place he was on. "The country side… it's so much better in real life than any of the pictures I've seen in the text books." He said to himself as he smiled.
Then he followed the page top a bit over and closed his book. He put it in his bag and pulled out a piece of paper. He looked at it "Ok… I need to find a Mr. Kyoraku…" he said to himself then looked back out the window. He's eyes widened a bit as he still smiled "Oh, there's the town now! My, it's much smaller than the one I'm from." He said to himself.
The train made a loud whistle sounds as it approached the small little town. Thick black smoke shot from the coal pipe and into the air as it slowly came to a stop. Ukitake smiled and picked up his things then stepped off the train.
The little town was indeed small and old. It was dusty but still very nice. Then a man came up to Ukitake "Excuse me, but are you Ukitake Jyuushirou?" he asked.
Ukitake looked at him. The man had a very kind warm smile and a bit of facial hair along his jaw and it when to his lips. He had long brown wavy hair that was pulled back into a loose pony tail. He wore a straw hat on his head and a pair of torn up jeans. His shirt was a button up, but the first three buttons were undone and it was a plaid red one. He had to at least 6 foot and just a couple inches taller than Ukitake.
Ukitake smile at him "Yes I am." He answered.
"Yes! I guessed right the first time!" the man said as he shot his fists into the air. Ukitake laughed and so did the man. Then his put his hands back in his pockets "I'm Kyoraku Shunsui, I heard I was supposed to take you home with me. Oh wait… that sounds funny…"
Ukitake laughed again "Yes, I'm supposed to go home with you."
Kyoraku smiled "Ok. The ranch is just down the street here. We can walk there." He said as he turned to his side and pointed with his thumb behind him.
Ukitake held his bag in front of him with both hands "Ok, just lead the way."
Kyoraku nodded and turned around. He started walking down the dirty path with Ukitake at his side.
After a bit of silence, Kyoraku glanced down at the other's bag "Hey, can I look thru your bag?" he asked.
Ukitake looked up at him "Excuse me?"
"Oh sorry. MAY I look thru your bag?" Kyoraku fixed.
"So I can find that little list that has the stuff on it that you have to check for my little ranch."
Ukitake stared at him then laughed. He held his bag up to the other and Kyoraku took it "Score!" he shouted. This made Ukitake laugh again.
Kyoraku opened the bad and started to go thru it. "Ooo! What's that?" he said as he pulled out a book. He turned it so he could read the title "You like to read don't you?" he asked then looked at the smaller one.
Ukitake nodded "Yes I do."
"I hate reading. That's why I'm not in school right now. Not that I don't think I can't do it, it's just I don't like to read and write very much; too lazy for that crap. I like my ranch better. Just get to take care of all the animals." Kyoraku explained then put the book back in the bag. Then he pulled out a piece of paper "Oh, I found it!" he shouted happily as he started to read over it.
"You're a very curious, aren't you?" Ukitake asked.
Kyoraku just smiled at him innocently, which made Ukitake chuckle. Then Kyoraku looked up "Oh, we're here already. Just gettin' ready ta pass it." He said as he stopped.
Ukitake stopped too and looked up at the house. It was a two story house and a whitish color. It made two blue windows on the bottom; two on each side of the door and 3 on the top. At least form the front it did. He smiled "It's a pretty little house." He said to him.
"I thank you kindly." Kyoraku said as he put the stuff back in Ukitake's bag and gave it back to him. Ukitake took it then followed the other down the dirty path and up the stairs into the house.
"Feel free to throw ya crap anywhere! I really don't mind!" Kyoraku called to him as he walked into the next room.
Ukitake looked around then set his bag on a nearby table. He put his hands behind him and looked up at the pictures on the walls. There were pictures of fairs and animals. "Do you have any family Mr. Kyoraku?" Ukitake called to him.
"Nope! They all died!" he told him.
Ukitake's eyes widened slightly and he looked at the other as he walked back in the room with two cups of lemonade. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry!" he said quickly.
Kyoraku chuckled "Nah it's alright. I don't mind." He handed one to the younger one and Ukitake smiled. "Thank you." Shunsui nodded.
Ukitake looked up at the other pictures then he saw some of horses and he smiled. "You have horses?" he asked still looking at them.
"Yep, lots of them. They're all very nice but very playful." Kyoraku said. He took a sip of his drink and he made a face. "Ooo too sweet…"
Ukitake didn't hear the last sentence the other had said and he took a sip of his drink. "Mmm!" he said then put his finger tips to his lips.
Kyoraku chuckled sheepishly "Yeah… Sorry about that… their a bit too sweet…"
Ukitake shook his head and looked at him. "No it's very good! I love sweet things."
Kyoraku laughed "I can tell!"
Ukitake just smiled innocently then looked at the pictures of horses again. Kyoraku smirked a bit "You like horse, don't you?" he asked.
Ukitake nodded "Yes I do. I haven't seen a real one but I've read about them. They are such incredible talented as well as being beautiful. They're strong and graceful at the same time."
"How would you like to see a real one up close and personal?" Kyoraku asked.
Ukitake's eyes widened and he looked at the other. "Really? You would let me?" Kyoraku nodded and Ukitake smiled "That would be wonderful!" he said happily as Kyoraku chuckled.
"Well then come on!" Kyoraku said as he put down his cup and started walking toward the door. Ukitake nodded too and put his cup down then quickly followed.
After a while, the two reached a large field; maybe 15 acres of nothing but fenced in land with a couple trees. Kyoraku walked up to the fence and jumped up on top of it. He held out his hand for the other man which Ukitake took. Kyoraku helped him up and over the fence then jumped to the ground.
He walked past the other and motioned for him to follow. "Well come on now ya city slicker!" he said in a joking tone.
Ukitake nodded and followed the other farther into the large field.
"So all this land is for the horses?" Ukitake asked looking around.
Kyoraku nodded as he put his hands back in his pockets. "It's a law. Every horse gets one acre."
Ukitake looked at him "So you have about… 16 horses?"
"Nope! I have 20."
Ukitake blinked some and tilted his head. Kyoraku leaned his head back slightly to look at him "The land behind this is owned already so I just hide 5 of my horses when the county comes to check it ou- Oops… uh…" he said then bit his lip.
The younger out of the two smiled "Don't worry. I won't tell on you. Your secret is safe with me." He winked at him.
Kyoraku smiled "Ya know what? You're alright Jyuushirou!" then he looked forward. "Oh there they are!"
Ukitake looked ahead of the other and his eyes widened when he saw a large group of horses. They were all many different colors and sizes.
Kyoraku stopped and put his fingers to his lips then whistled loudly. This got the horses attention and they all raised their heads from the grazing they were doing. "We've got ourselves some fresh meat from the city!!" he called out to them. This made them all whinny and some stood up on their find legs but one. Kyoraku laughed.
Ukitake looked at the other "They know what you're saying? Like, they understand you?"
Kyoraku nodded and put his hand back in his pockets. "Yep. They're a friendly bunch." He turned to face the other and grinned "The funny thing is that I could tell one of them to do something and they'll do it too. Like once I was at a-…" but he was cut off by a loud whinny. Both of the men's eyes widened. Kyoraku turned around and Ukitake looked past him. A large pure black horse with a large white main stood up on its back legs then charged at Kyoraku.
Kyoraku's eyes widened "Oh shit!" he ran past the other "It's Bessie Jyuushirou!! Run like Hell froze over!!" he shouted over his shoulder.
Ukitake just stood there "What?" then the huge black horse zoomed past Ukitake. This made the man flinch and turn around.
Kyoraku run faster, almost falling but then quickly climbed a tree like as fast as lightning. Bessie slid to a stop at the base of the tree and snorted as she shook her head slightly. Then she turned her head and locked eyes with Ukitake. Kyoraku saw this and blinked some then looked at his new friend. "Run Jyuushirou!! She's going to kill you!!" he shouted as Bessie whinnied and charged toward him.
Ukitake's eyes widened and he put his heads up in front of his face.
"Run!!" Kyoraku shouted again.
Bessie finally reached him and slid to a stop. She panted and looked at him. Ukitake opened his eyes slightly then moved his hands and looked at the horse. They stared at each other for a moment then Bessie gently brushed the side of her face on Ukitake's cheek. This shocked the younger man but then he slowly stroked the horse's neck, making it whinny softly and close its eyes.
Kyoraku sat there in the tree with his mouth open wide and so were his eyes. Was he seeing things? Did he hit his head as he was climbing the tree? He rubbed his eyes then looked at the other man and the horse to discover that he wasn't seeing things.
"Well I'll be damned…" he said quietly as he smiled. He jumped out of the tree and walked to the other with his hands in his pockets again. "Look at you Jyuushirou! You just tamed the meanest and most evil horse that there is! I'm very impressed." He said.
Ukitake looked at him and smiled. "She doesn't seem that mean. She's quite sweet really. Her name is Bessie right?"
Kyoraku nodded as he walked next to the other. "Yep. Bessie was one of the very first horses I got, back when I was young. She wasn't mean to the other horses but she always was the leader and protected them. She doesn't like me or anyone to tell ya the truth. They gave her to me for free, saying that they didn't want anything to do with her. The poor girl…" he reached out to touch the horse but Bessie's eyes snapped open and she tried the bite him. Kyoraku quickly took his hand back and his eyes widened.
Ukitake laughed "It seems she still doesn't like you!"
Kyoraku made a face then crossed his arms. Ukitake laughed again then sighed happily.
"Well I suppose I should get started on my work here." he said then turned around to start inspecting the land that the horses were living on. But when he did, Bessie leaned forward and grabbed the ribbon the held Ukitake's hair up with her teeth. She pulled it out of his hair, making it all fall down.
Ukitake's eyes widened and he turned around. "H-hey!" he said as he tried the get the ribbon back but Bessie would just hop around and move her head, making it harder on the other.
Kyoraku laughed loudly "She wants to play with you Jyuushirou!" he shouted.
"Well I don't have time to play right now! Could you stop laughing and help me?" Ukitake said as he tried to get the ribbon from the horse.
Kyoraku shook his head "Nope! She doesn't like me, remember~?"
Ukitake sighed as he kept trying but then Bessie started to run the other way. "Hey! Get back here!" the younger one shouted as he ran after her. "Bessie!"
Kyoraku just laughed.

Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando
John Crumpacker of the San Francisco Chronicle says the 49ers failed to address their biggest needs in the draft. Crumpacker: "Circumstances conspired against San Francisco getting an elite player at these vital positions. When the 49ers were up at 10 on Saturday, they saw Crabtree still available, so that meant no Michael Oher, the Mississippi tackle." Said coach Mike Singletary: "We had a head-on issue with Crabtree and Michael Oher." The team also wanted to add a pass rusher, Singletary said, but it did not happen.
Also from Crumpacker: Crabtree will wear No. 15 with the 49ers. His father, who drives a bread truck, can presumably retire if he wants.
Gwen Knapp of the San Francisco Chronicle passes along a pointed quote from Crabtree's college coach, Mike Leach, in regard to reports that Crabtree's attitude had turned off Browns coach Eric Mangini during the scouting process. Leach on Mangini: "How about that guy? There's a bunch of things that I've heard that guy described as that I might start sharing publicly. I mean, let's just point out that Michael Crabtree has been more successful as a receiver than that guy has been as a coach at this point." Leach called Crabtree a team player in every way.
Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat gave Billy Bajema something to think about when he described the newly drafted Bear Pasco as "definitely" an upgrade over the former 49ers tight end. The 49ers also did not bring back tight end Sean Ryan. The 49ers addressed offense aggressively in the draft.
Also from Maiocco: The 49ers have reached agreements with several undrafted free agents. The list includes Purdue running back Kory Sheets, Ohio State tackle Alex Boone, Georgia Tech cornerback Jahi Word-Daniels, Stanford defensive end Pannel Egboh and South Carolina cornerback Carlos Thomas.
Lowell Cohn of the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat thinks the 49ers vastly outperformed the Raiders in the draft. The 49ers were thrilled to find Crabtree at No. 10.
David Fucillo of Niners Nation grades the 49ers' draft selections. Crabtree's selection gets high marks. Glen Coffee's selection gets a C. Fucillo: "The reason I discount this grade so much is that I'd imagine they could have had him a little later, or even gone with some other RB options late in the draft. Running back was a need for this team, in spite of what others might think. However, there were some serious players available here that left me a bit confused. In the end I can live with this pick because I do think the 49ers front office has some clue of what's going on (no snickers please). However, it was one that had me a little bit befuddled."
Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee says the 49ers like Crabtree for his toughness.
Also from Barrows: A look at the 49ers' new uniforms.

Wedding Cake Help
Decorating By dipitts Updated 21 May 2013 , 4:43pm by cakecraving
I am doing my first wedding cake and not really sure how many layers per tier. I have a 14", 10" and a 6". What is the best way to make it look good. They are square pans.
AI prefer 4" layers. I bake 2-2" cakes for each tier. I cut each in half & fill. My tiers are about 4 1/4-4 1/2" tall
agree with the others too :)

With 2.25 million citizens behind bars, America incarcerates more people than any other country. The social and financial impact of this policy are spiraling out of control. For this year's Shasha Seminar we will convene experts from across the country to examine the University's role in this seemingly intractable problem and discuss paths forward.
Registration for Shasha is now closed. For assistance, please contact email@example.com.
We are pleased to feature Michael Romano '94 as our keynote speaker. Michael teaches at Stanford Law School and is the Co-Founder and Director of the Stanford Justice Advocacy Project. He co-authored Proposition 36 which overturned key sections of California's "Three Strikes" law and through the Justice Advocacy Project, helps to win the release of those convicted to life sentences under it. His current work also involves assisting the White House with President Obama's initiative to grant clemency to nonviolent drug offenders and with law enforcement officials in California on police shootings.
Please join us on Friday to hear Michael speak about the scope and severity of our mass incarceration crisis and what the university's roles and identities might be with regard to the carceral state. In addition to publishing scholarly and popular articles, Michael has been profiled in The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, The Economist and others. Most recently he was a subject of the PBS documentary The Return.
The final speaker of the seminar will be noted poet, memoirist and author Reginald Dwayne Betts. Betts is the author of A Question of Freedom: A Memoir of Learning, Survival, and Coming of Age in Prison, Shahid Reads His Own Palm and Bastards of the Reagan Era. Incarcerated at age 16, Betts spent eight years behind bars where he completed high school and began writing. Upon release he completed his BA and MFA degrees and was recently awarded his JD from Yale Law School.
Betts has led educational programming and taught at Emerson College and he speaks widely on issues of incarceration and education. We welcome his talk on juvenile sentencing, non-discriminatory admissions policies and the redemptive power of education as a perfect cap to the weekend.
The seminar will feature an exhibit from the Community Partners in Action Prison Arts Program in Beckham Hall. Since 1978 the program has been providing visual arts classes to individuals incarcerated in Connecticut's prisons. Additionally, the program regularly produces publications and exhibitions of incarcerated artists' work. On display will be highlights of the Program's permanent collection, exceptional pieces the Program has purchased from participating artists over the years.

This is a nice quality floor for a good price!
By Chris
from Stevensville, MD
I installed the Bellawood Engineered Click Acacia in a living room and family room so far. The bedroom is next. We are very pleased with the way it has turned out and hope it wears well. The platinum underlayment is easy to work with as well and is recommended versus a lesser quality. You only want to have to do this once, so spend the extra few dollars. I will be returning at least one box of warped boards that have come from various boxes and expect a good experience from LL.
Service and delivery comments:
The material was ready and palletized when we arrived to pick it up. Staff was helpful and it was a smooth experience. One roll of underlayment was unwrapped like someone had rolled it out and it had a different texture to it, but it was still the platinum, so it was used. We didn't notice this because it was all ready to go when we arrived. I have not had to use customer service yet.

In love with this floor!
By Gail
from London, Ontario, Canada
We bought this to do our living room floor and upstairs gym. We fell IN LOVE with the look of it and easy installation (I did it myself) that we decided to buy more flooring to do our entire house! Once you see how beautiful this floor is you will probably feel the same way lol We can't get over it. It's stunning. The only thing we didn't like about this product is that the boxes are long and heavy so picking them up and transporting them in your car and throughout your house is doable but it would be nice if the boxes were a little shorter and not as heavy. The other thing we noticed is some of the boxes were damaged by what looks like a forklift so we had several pieces we could not use at all. The store said they would reimburse us though. Even though the wood is advertised as click-lock we never heard any of the pieces actually make a clicking sound when installing. There is no tapping block required, they just go down and "lock" into place, however, when you're doing it it may seem like they are not locking into place but as soon as you lay the next row you will notice they will so don't worry. Seriously you can't get any easier than this stuff to install. My only concern is the trim. The matching reducers we bought, on their recommendation, are not really ideal for our application (wood to tile), and I'm not even sure you should really use reducers on floating floors anyway because you don't want to prevent the floors from expanding and contracting. However, transition strips wouldn't work either because our tile was a little higher (not much though) than the wood so we stayed with the reducers but made sure we only glued the one end down (on the tile side) so there can still be some movement on the wood side. We used the purple Bellawood premium underlayment. Not overly soundproof but it makes the floor softer and warmer to walk on.
The service lady we had at the store, and her manager, were exceptional. You can't ask for better service. They work with you to make sure you're happy and have everything you need. They actually seem like they honestly want to make sure you're happy with the product and will do whatever it takes if you're not. We didn't have our wood delivered because we wanted to save money but we had to take two SUV's and drive an hour each way to go pick up the wood because of the weight of it. The manager personally delivered our reducers as they did not have them in stock at the time of pick-up.

Beautiful Floor!!
By Mark the Hunter
from York, Pa
I am so glad we decided to install this Bellwood Acacia floor. We considered putting new carpet in the room. We were concerned about the cold concrete floor and how if would feel with hardwood. It is wonderful with the platinum underlayment, not cold at all. After reading some negative reviews, we almost decided not to install Bellwood. I'm so glad we didn't listen to the negative reviews. This was the best decision I've made with my house in a long, long time. It has transformed our room into a show place. I absolutely love it!! I did all the work myself. I researched and watched many youtube videos on how to do it. It worked out great. I would do it again in a heartbeat!!

Availability of fridge and kitchenette in the room, good price, locked stroage for bicycles. Location a bit far from the station without a car, although a bus stop was available just outside the door,
The attendant very kindly allowed us to check into the hotel before 16:00. The hotel was quiet and close to the downtown core. Hotels guests are not generally permitted to book in before 16:00h - a great inconvenience. The room was very dirty. There was no dishdetergent nor any dishclothes or dishtowels with which to clean dishes. The dishes were dirty. Hotel users are not likely to bring these items with them, and these should be provided.
Good, cheap accommodation for a quiet break in summer/autumn. Surrounded by nice mountain views and friendly pubs and restaurants (so different from Paris!) The beds were quite hard, and although the room had a nice kitchenette there wasn't any basic supplied like dishwashing liquid or coffee sachets (but easily fixed by a trip to the supermarket)
Information about parking should be clearer because unless i understood incorrectly we were advised that our car with roof box would not fit so we had to leave it parked on the main road outside.
area it was in Breakfast not available early at 7.30and then couldnt check out at 8am
Hotel in a excellent position, with off road parking. Staff did not turn up until we had to phone them.
We enjoyed the central location and the privacy that the hotel afforded. The staff were very helpful and it was quiet at night.
Helpful staff
Secure car parking was the reason we used this hotel and that was excellent. It was a gated car park underneath the hotel and and the car spaces were large enough to park a medium sized family car The room was relatively small and the kitchen facilities were very limited-there was no kettle and no large cups or mugs for drinks. There was a fridge and a 2 ring hob. When we stayed the temperature was in the 30's and the lack of airconditioning was a minus.
A very elegant apartment, well planned and laid out with all sorts of gizmos - living flame gas fire, big screen TV, iPod, etc The apartment is not actually near the hotel. We arrived at a locked door with a note telling us to call them. They said they would be round to let us in in 15 minutes - we sat on the street till let in. The owner treated us as complete morons in expecting to be let in quicker. And was agresive towards us. Not a happy experience and left us disillusioned with he place, even though the apartment itself was very nice.
Friendly, luxurious great place to stay in a beatifull village.
Design, Top service. Everything was perfect. Its longtime I haven't fell so well in a hotel!!! No complaints at all.
The hotel was very convienently located opposite train station and was a short walk to the charming town centre. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was nice size and had everything you would need.
Close to train station I felt prices of meals especially breakfast and drinks was too high
Efficient, practical, room clean and comfortable, buffet easy to access, garage convenient Pity there is no restaurant for dinner at the hotel, but room service was available and the restaurant outside was very close to the hotel, so it was not a major problem.
Nice big room. Good place opposite the train station.
Check-in took less than a minute. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and warm.
Location was great. Breakfast was not included.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was excellent. My wife would have liked tea making facilities in the room.
Design, decocaration. It is really beautiful and in city centre. That staff does not speak English.
Very central with secure parking, helpful staff, comfortable and welcoming reception area Our room was very small with a small double bed even though it was furnished attractively in alpine style. Breakfast basic, should have been part of the room price. Only one small lift.
The location of the hotel was very good. I thought our room was adequate but fairly expensive for the standard. Plenty of hot water but the bathroom was in great need of refurbishment. I found the bed uncomfortable.
Location Yes. One of our rooms was infested with cockroaches. The bathroom smelled unpleasantly.
Central location, ease of booking No
Although receptionstaff were friendly and helpful, our stay was spoiled by the attitude of the staff at breakfast where we got the distinct impression that we were not specially welcome,
Nice hotel right in the centre of the town
Wonderful charm. Free internet use on hotel computer. Highly recommended.
Excellent location right in the city center of Chambéry -- main attractions and the old city is right at the doorstep of the hotel. Very friendly, helpful staff. Not expensive, great for a city trip weekend!
A pleasant, traditional feel and ambiance, combined with good facilities and very friendly staff. Really good lack of a restaurant
staff for their help and assistance. Cost of dinner - more than the room. re question below - yes but don't eat.
Beautitul hotel, great bathroom! Poor selection at breakfast, not great value for money at 15 euros. Facilities to make a drink in your room would have been nice. No shower.
Extremely good food, but expensive. Poor english spoken people. Very romantic room. We informed in before our engagement should be at the hotel during our stay. No "extra" from the hotel at all (glas of champagne, extra flowers at our table etc)
We did not have much time to explore around the hotel or the facilities, the room was very comfortabel and quality of the bed was great. We did not stay for Breakfast but it seem little expensive at 20 Euro p.p for continantial breakfast.
The restaurant was excellent. The hotel appears to be mostly a good restaurant with room attached. This is fine for a single overnight stay but not for three nights. The facilities in the room were poor - no tea/coffee facilities, no note paper, no room service etc. The attitude of the hotel staff left a lot to be desired. The attitude of the restaurant staff was, however, excellent.
Room was large and well furnished with a spacious bathroom. Restaurant food was particularly good with an excellent, creative and innovative chef. One of the best meals we have eaten anywhere Difficult to find, final section of driveway hazardous, Room service drinks etc very expensive
Had a great Time - stafdf was lovely - really appreciated the beatiful breakfast with a good choice - loved the poool too !! We will come back !! On a tout apprecie, l'hotel le staff , la petite piscine et aussi le cadre tres roimantique et très agreable !! Merci pour tout , ov va surmente raccomander votre Hotel Andrea - Italie
Its location Breakfast
The restaurant was excellent. The welcome wasn't very friendly, but other staff were nice.
20 Euros per person for the breakfast was far too much, more than 15 Euros can not be justified, also for such a hotel I also expected better foreign language skills.
This is an ideal location for a one night stay. The evening meal and the breakfast were both good.
Good bed size restaraunt on site easy to find kettle in room No cnn, or other english channels on tv some road noise
This is a good place to spend the night if you passes by Chambery. Do not spend time searching for resturants in the town Chambery. We were there at a sunday and hardly found any places to eat. It is better to use the hotel restaurant. They have a WI FI net at the hotel. Maybe the hotel personall should try to speak a little english.
clean, comfortable - perfect for a stopover on way to ski resort
Friendly staff - very clean hotel - good value for money Not easy to find - directions on the booking information should be better - location is not good - you need to stay on site or drive to find a good restaurant - but the the theme of Campanile
The room was nicely warm for our arrival on a cold night.The secure parking, (the gates are locked at night). The hotel is undergoing modernisation in certain areas, chiefly the restaurant area which appeared to affect the choice available for breakfast.
Quiet and pleasant. Good staff No
Clean and conveneant and not too expensive
The reception desk staff were excellent The restaurant staff were awful.We were shown to our table then ignored for 20 minutes while people who came in after us were served drinks & had their orders taken.We left & found a very nice restaurant in the town centre.
Very efficient for business purposes. Right size of room and quite. Located near the industrial area but also at short distance of Chambery. Service as it should be, nice people!
We enjoyed a restful and relaxed stay at this modern, comfortable hotel. Reception was extremely helpful, speaking perfect English and our room was spacious, very clean and well decorated. We look forward to our next visit in 2011.
wireless free of charge Not so mutch choise in the restaurant
Just perfect and outstanding > and service superior > do not worry > you are in good hands > and have nice 10 days as we have had > thank you No !
The rooms are simple, clean and comfortable and provide very good value for the money.
It's proximity to my clients. Though there was no kitchen open on Sunday when I arrived (7pm), the staff kindly made the effort of getting me a cold plate of food when I asked. WiFi signal was very bad and kept dropping out. There was no pc available to check email which required me to bring my own just for this. Rooms were tiny.
Perfect location for all kind of activity > facilities and service like a 5 star hotel >and should be rated min 4 stars
Recent free WiFi is good. Good location for Meylan industrial zone (by car).
All > the perfect place to stay > service superior > presumably the best Hotelin the region.
Good value for price, convenient location, pleasant and comfortable room, good meals
The restaurant was excelent. Service was "nice". The rooms were a bit outdated.
The chateau is remarkable and historical. The food is excellent.
The restaurant is fantastic, location, service and above all the food! We were received by a very unpleasant and rude female receptionist. Fortunately she was replaced by very nice and helpfull collegues the following morning and the day after. Our bathroom really needed some upgrading.
Setting and ambiance. no
The view and location was great. It was a charming place. Restaurant and breakfast were expensive.
The building and grounds Room was quiet Water was only slightly warm morning and evening Comforter on bed not as good as sheet and blanket as you are either too hot or too cool Meals were good in restaurant but seating us amongst a large group made dining unpleasant, we later dined elsewhere. No clean spaces for breakfast available.
The Food No hot water in rooms allocated. New room had hot but not cold water, Gave up
The hotel is in elegant converted chateau situated above the valley, with gardens and mature trees. Excellent restaurant, with tables on verandah. Interior of hotel a slight disappointment after elegant external appearance of chateau. Room was a little shabby, although perfectly clean and confortable
Very relaxed and comfortable We used this as a stop over en route to the Alps. The room rate was very good value. The restuarant is very good but quite expensive
A first class place to stay.We would definately recommend the chateau
the breakfast was nice--nice choices and the hostess was friendly. The rooms were spacious The rooms were plain--no art on the walls!--and bathrooms were dated. The partial glass wall on the bathtub did little to keep the water from flooding the floor. The towels were cheap and flimsy and so were the bath products.
Needed hotel between Grenoble airport and Corchevel in Alps that was located close to route that was warm clean and not too expensive. Difficult to access hotel from dual carriage way.Breakfast buffet expensive.
The room was very clean and with a lot of space. Big parking for the cars
There's a beautiful view of the Alps montains just outside my hotel window. The whole city is surrounded by mountains, there are streams, a river and lots of vegetation. Beautiful scenery. The public computer for browsing the web is outdated at best. I could not use the hotel's wifi since my laptop's wifi set-up was bad, so I tried to use the public dektop PC; it was impossible to do anything on that system. The hotel should either upgrade it or decommission it all together.
The warmth, graciousness, helpfullness and hospitality of our hosts was incomparable. The room was large and quite comfortable. The bed was also perfectly comfortable. the bathroom was spacious with two sinks and a very nice shower. The hotel is right in the heart of the old city in a gorgeous old building that contributes to a fine feeling for "place." Can't say enough good things about it.
It's a unique place in the heart of Chambery with parking facilities..Large rooms with antic furniture and paintings. Bathroom is large and renovated. Big flat screen TV and DVD player.Philippe and Edith were really lovely people. Good breakfast..Highly recommended accommodation. Nothing.
The peace and quiet!! It was a central location as well. No comment in this aspect.
Enjoyed our stay very much, we were made most welcome and everything was spotlessly clean. Our room was very spacious. We particularly enjoyed the violin solo at breakfast - thank you, Philipe! Took a little time to find, but well worth the search!
very clean hotel with nice antique furnitures.The owner (couple) were very friendly, kind and helpful. Their hospitality were so good!! I would stay there if I visit Chambery.

Francesco Paolo LoVecchio, 30 March 1913, Chicago, Illinois, USA, d. 6 February 2007, San Diego, California, USA. Laine had been a chorister at the Immaculate Conception Church in his citys Sicilian quarter before entering showbusiness proper on leaving school. For nearly a decade he travelled as a singing waiter, dancing instructor (with a victory in a 1932 dance marathon as his principal qualification) and other lowly jobs, but it was as a member of a New Jersey nightclub quartet that he was given his first big break, replacing Perry Como in Freddie Carlones touring band in 1937. This was a springboard to a post as house vocalist with a New York radio station until migration to Los Angeles, where he was discovered entertaining in a Hollywood spa by Hoagy Carmichael. The songwriter persuaded him to adopt an Anglicized nom de theatre, and funded the 1947 Mercury Records session that resulted in a version of Hadda Brooks...

I'm trying to inventory my entire network but one in a while I get a C++
runtime error at the server. I tried 3 different boxes as servers and
last server I tried was dedicated to spiceworks but still a problem.
Has anyone experienced this ?

I've installed SW on my laptop and not received any C++ errors.
Just be sure you're up to date on relevant patches, etc.
Which o/s are you using?
Oct 31, 2006 at 1:16 UTC
Please send an email to support @ spiceworks.com. We'll take a look at
that. As I understand it you're getting a C++ error on the server being
scanned? Or the server you are running Spiceworks on?
Nov 2, 2006 at 4:05 UTC
I occasionally get the same error (once a month). It always happens on
the Spiceworks server.
Restarting the app takes care of the problem.
The server is running Windows Server 2003 R2.
Nov 3, 2006 at 1:20 UTC
The next time that happens, can you do me a favor and run the
Spiceworks_Packager.exe and send me the corresponding .zip file?
I suspect this is an error with the SpiceTray.exe, our tray icon app.
Nov 3, 2006 at 11:21 UTC
We've confirmed this issue with the spicetray.exe application. The
