What is Engineering Technology?
Engineering Technology (ET) at the University of North Texas' College of Engineering offers degree paths to a career in engineering. There are over 100 institutions in the U.S. that offer similar degree programs. Common to all is the educational philosophy of using mathematics, science and engineering fundamentals in the analysis and implementation of technology-based solutions to engineering problems.
At the Department of Engineering Technology, we define "technology" as:
- any physical equipment, artifact, or hardware tool utilized in an engineering field (e.g., any device, instrument, machine, sensor/transducer/actuator, data acquisition/processing card, or materials);
- any software-based engineering simulation, analysis, or design tool; or
- any engineering design technique, process or algorithm described in a textbook, a patent, or any other scholarly or trade publication.
Therefore, our ET program is strongly based on advanced applications of technology to solve engineering problems. Our program introduces experiential learning activities in virtually every course and emphasizes hands-on laboratory activities without the abstract manipulation of mathematics.
In many circles ET is described as hands-on or applied engineering. ETEC graduates are in high demand and work side-by-side with other engineering graduates in a variety of technical fields.
Join ETEC at UNT, pursue an undergraduate ETAC/ABET-accredited degree or a graduate degree, and prepare yourself for the functional engineering tasks of design, re-design, technology implementation and evaluation, product and process improvement, and engineering system operation.

Sefa and TEP unveil new multimillion-rand SMME financing facility
We have long realised that access to finance is the missing link in our SMME development strategy, and by adding access to finance, Ikwezi allows us to enhance our well-established business development services offering to tourism SMME clients. – Dr Salifou Siddo, TEP CE
The Ikwezi Tourism Facility (ITF) is a R50-million ring-fenced revolving credit facility exclusively reserved for TEP clients and is offered to all tourism SMME business owners, with preference given to black-, female-, youth- and rural-owned enterprises.
The facility will offer bridging finance, such as short-term financing to facilitate upfront contractual obligations; capital financing for the acquisition of new equipment and assets; and financing for business expansion of current assets such as buildings.
Dr Salifou Siddo, TEP CE, says that although there are a host of banks and other development finance institutions in South Africa, access to financing has always been a major challenge to SMME owners as they struggle to develop and grow their businesses.
'The complaint from SMME operators is that in addition to the complicated and time-consuming red tape involved in the funding application process, the interest rates charged by commercial banks are often punitive and therefore unaffordable.'
With the launch of the financing facility, the TEP becomes the only tourism SMME development organisation in South Africa which, in addition to offering business development support such as training, mentorship and market access, is also able to provide access to finance.
'We have long realised that access to finance is the missing link in our SMME development strategy, and by adding access to finance, Ikwezi allows us to enhance our well-established business development services offering to tourism SMME clients,' he says.
Sefa, which was established on 1 April 2012, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa. It envisions itself as the leading catalyst for the development of sustainable SMMEs through the provision of finance.
Thakhani Makhuvha, Sefa CEO, says tourism features prominently in government priority programmes, and has been identified as one of the key drivers of job creation in South Africa.
'Sefa has identified this opportunity to collaborate with the TEP in order to stimulate and foster SMME development and support. This partnership will enable SMMEs in the sector to access funding augmented by skills development and support,' he says.
According to Siddo, Ikwezi is an expression of confidence in the TEP by Sefa.
'We are extremely honoured to be working with Sefa to promote entrepreneurship development and job creation in South Africa. We are confident that Ikwezi will live up to our expectations of providing a viable alternative when it comes to access to finance for our SMME clients,' he says.

It started in 2006 with a simple question: how do we spread the word about the resources available to the community through John Tyler Community College?
The answer? Fool for Art, a community festival designed to give faculty and staff members at the College an opportunity to share their talents and the College's offerings with the community through free educational sessions, hands-on activities and more one Saturday in April.
From the start, Fool for Art was a success. The first year, over 3,000 people came to the Midlothian Campus and learned about their community's College. In recent years, the crowd has topped 6,000 people.
Fool for Art is free and open to the public.
We look forward to seeing you!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/11/2012 (1731 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's Grey Cup weekend, a time when we in the weather business are required under federal law to provide you with a hard-hitting forecast packed with enough football cliches to get your "backfield in motion."
Allow me to "kick off" today's outlook by saying that if you are going to get the maximum enjoyment out the 100th Grey Cup game between Calgary and Toronto, you are going to have to "give 120 per cent" and "put your pants on two legs at a time."
I have no idea what that means, so here's a pre-game analysis from my buddy Dale Marciski, Environment Canada's resident football expert:
"We've got a low-pressure system charging across the Prairies and the big boys on the offensive line will be opening holes for some snow to run through beginning Saturday morning and continuing in the afternoon.
"Would you call that a blitz? Why not? We're talking two to four centimetres of snow Saturday. Look for a rush of wind with this low, with winds gaining big yards at 30 km/h to 50 km/h."
I believe what Dale was trying to say here is that some nasty clouds will "block out" the sun Saturday, holding the temperature on the scoreboard to a measly -6C, which is a "convert" (that's one degree) colder than the normal score of -5C at this festive football time of year.
On Grey Cup Sunday, our frosty city will be "sacked" by a chilly daytime high of -8C, but don't expect the clouds to fumble any more snow.
Here's another "audible" from Dale: "We're going to get tackled by some cold Arctic air behind this low-pressure system that will smack us with below-normal temperatures Sunday, Monday and Tuesday."
For all you non-football fans, your weather coach wants you to put your game faces on because there's a lot of great stuff to do on this most hallowed of sporting weekends.
Before you hit the showers, make sure to make some "positive yards" to the Winnipeg Humane Society's shelter at 45 Hurst Way on Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. for the second Pet Pics with Santa Paws fundraiser. Book an appointment at www.winnipeghumanesociety.ca
Or "reverse field" entirely and drive yourself into the "end zone" of musical happiness tonight at the opening of Manitoba Opera's production of Verdi's Rigoletto, wherein The Weather Column makes its operatic debut as a lecherous lout in the big Act 1 party scene. Tickets at 204-944-8824 or www.manitobaopera.mb.ca
If you haven't kicked off your holiday shopping yet, "huddle up" and head down to the 33rd annual Signatures Craft Show and Sale this weekend at the convention centre to score some toys and jewelry and stuff.
What do Environment Canada's computers say about who'll win the big game? According to Dale: "Calgary has more sunshine on Sunday with a high of -2C, while Toronto is cloudy with a chance of flurries and a warmer high of 2C, so the meteorological signs are mixed."
One thing, however, is certain: There's a 100 per cent chance of me eating my weight in greasy snack-related times. And that's at the opera!

HOUSTON - Officials with the University of Houston said they're investigating an alleged sexual assault on campus.
University police said they have a suspect in the case. The suspect has been barred from campus pending further investigation, officials said.
According to the university's website, the alleged incident happened October 16 near the Moody Towers.
"I think it's scary, being a woman, that happened on campus," said Heather Howes, a student at the university. "The fact that we've had a lot of incidents on campus. But I'm sure our police force is working hard on it."
School officials said the victim never reported the incident to police. Instead, they were made aware of it from a letter delivered by the U.S. Postal Service, officials said. The school did not indicate what was written or who sent the letter.
Howes said there may be good reason the alleged victim didn't speak up.
"It can be scary. You don't know if she was threatened," said Howes. "It can deter you from speaking up for fear of other harm being done to you."
Howes said she's extra cautious when it comes to her own safety on campus.
"I have pepper spray and I've taken self defense classes," Howes said. "And you always walk in groups."

To me, it's an opinion not unlike the one I have for any tournament in women's hockey: I love to watch the US vs Canada, but that gets old real quick, and everything else sucks. Obviously the juniors have a few more teams than two that can play with Canada (US, Russia, Sweden), but there is a big drop-off after that.I may not totally agree with it - I do enjoy most of the hockey played - but I can see his point."Take off, eh?" - Bob and Doug

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
Editor's Note: "Consistently better sales presentations could be the most important New Year's resolution your team could make," Rutgers Business School Professor Marc Kalan stated in an article that was posted here on Monday. He introduced the need for strong personal presentation skills, beginning with organization and a personal passion. In Part II, we move into individual skill areas to enhance your physical presence and abilities to maximize the focus and attention of your audience.
From my experiences in the business and academic worlds, whether delivering a business presentation, making a sales pitch, or over the past decade, teaching business classes, the ability to engage colleagues, clients or students has become more challenging and critical.
Here are more tips I've picked up during my career that might help your sales and marketing team's presentations be more engaging, impactful and memorable.
Part III, which will be posted on Friday, will look at how to manage the overall presentation experience.
Marc H. Kalan is a marketing/business development executive with more than 30 years of diverse consumer marketing experience at clients (from established Fortune 500 to startups), suppliers and promotional marketing agencies. Kalan's background includes a foundation in brand and sales management. He began teaching at the college and graduate level in 2003 and now serves full time on the faculty of the Rutgers Business School, Department of Supply Chain Management and Marketing Sciences.

Couldn't recommend Patrick enough, very helpful and went out of his way to ensure the job was done as quickly as possible. Even dropped the car back to my house which was great. I needed a new clutch and flywheel (£1250) for a Lexus IS250. Was quoted just under £2k by a Lexus Dealership.

The garage did a great job.
Excellent garage with great customer service. Will defo use again.
Patrick came to pick the car up, we discussed the repair that the car needed along with a few other things I've noticed. He went away and completed the job in good time, returned the car with no issues. Repair was a good standard and the handling is perfect now, the other issues he checked for free and advised on what may need doing in the future. What more could you ask of your mechanic? I will use Patrick & Automotive Components Specialists in the future, 10/10.
Very nice guy that provided quick replacement of a window regulator on my Skoda for the price quoted. Would definitely recommend and will be using him again.
The service I recieved was really good but they weren't able to fix the fault

Great service - was able to diagnose and fix a problem quickly, at short notice and at the estimated cost. Michael was very pleasant to deal with and clearly explained (and even demonstrated) what the fault had been.
Great service, did a great job. He was a very nice man. I would highly recommend!

— October 2001

Saltwater Cellular II
|Boat phone nirvana is in sight.
The perfect boat phone may not yet exist, but you can see it from here. Last month's column discussed the range problems of conventional cellphones on the water and the use of antennas and boosters to improve coverage. This month we'll look at several marine cellular products that together suggest the future of the boat phone.
Last year Raymarine rather quietly introduced its Raycom Fixed Wireless Terminal. This unit is essentially a 3-watt, analog, black-box-style cellphone with the unique ability to generate a standard dial tone. Thus you can plug in a regular household phone, fax, PC modem, answering machine, even a cordless phone. The box will support any seven devices, and when you pick up a phone, the unit will make a cellular connection and you'll hear that familiar tone–no "send" button is necessary. Combined with the sort of high-gain cellular antennas discussed last month, the Raycom system should provide the best possible analog coverage for any given area; Raymarine's product manager Morten Andreasen reports that solid connections have been obtained sometimes 40 miles offshore.
While being able to outfit your vessel with home- or office-style equipment is attractive, you probably want something a bit more rugged on deck. Raymarine meets this need with its just-introduced Ray 230 VHF. This high-end unit is also black-box style and can support up to three full-function handsets, each of which can be paired with an amplified speaker. The system has about every VHF feature possible, including full duplex intercom and Digital Selective Calling (DSC) single-button distress calling. But the truly startling feature is that you can interface its black box with a Raycom cellular box. Hence, you can be on your flying bridge making and taking cell and VHF calls, all with a single, tough, waterproof handset.
Moreover, since the 230 has the particular DSC capabilities known as "MariTEL Ready," you can also make direct-dial ship-to-shore calls via that company's ambitious new $300 million VHF network. MariTEL has just begun this service in the Gulf of Mexico and plans soon to have a nationwide marine system offering what the company terms "better range than cellular, less expensively than satellite."
Consider, too, that Raymarine's phone network can be easily switched from cellular to a land line when a vessel is tied up. Once you get used to the idea of one system handling several different communications technologies, it's easy to imagine the further integration of satellite telephony and perhaps even SSB radio and the day when we'll use one device with whatever service is appropriate, available, and/or least expensive.

The Black Caps have been left with a mix of pride and frustration after getting to within one wicket of a Test series triumph over England.
Set a nominal chase of 481 in the third Test in Auckland, England made it to the safety of stumps on 9-315, with wicketkeeper Matt Prior unbeaten on 110.
Black Caps skipper Brendon McCullum described the result, which meant all three Tests were drawn, as "heartbreak".
But he praised the way his No.8-ranked team, who had lost both their Tests in South Africa in January by an innings, had performed against opponents ranked six places higher.
"In the end, we were one ball away from winning a Test match," he said.
"We gave it a red-hot crack. Things just didn't go our way and we walk away even."
McCullum said the home side dictated terms from day one of the Eden Park encounter.
But, needing six wickets on the final day, they came up against opponents determined not to lose.
"I'm incredibly proud of the way they performed in this series, confronting one of the giants of world cricket," McCullum said.
"Obviously there's disappointment, but there's some progress as well."
England started Tuesday on 4-90.
Having reached 7-304 and with just fours over to go, they appeared well on the way to achieving their goal.
But a contest of twists and turns was thrown wide open again when part-time spinner Kane Williamson made a double breakthrough, as he had done the previous day.
In three balls, Williamson, who went on to finish with career-best figures of 4-44, removed the resolute Stuart Broad for six and James Anderson for a duck.
Prior and Monty Panesar survived the final 3.1 overs to complete the salvage job.
Prior showed a willingness to play his shots in compiling his seventh Test century, but he also had some anxious moments.
On 16, he was given out lbw to Tim Southee, but called for a review and the replay showed a faint edge.
The most notable was on 28, when a Neil Wagner delivery rebounded from his bat handle to his grill and onto the stumps, but didn't shift the bails.
Prior had excellent support from Broad, who faced 61 balls before getting off the mark.
Broad had spent 102 minutes in the middle before he scored two runs down to third man, beating by one minute New Zealander Geoff Allott's Test record for longest time on nought.
Like Prior, he had a successful review against dismissal, with replays showing an edge after he was given out lbw to a Trent Boult yorker.
The delivery sent him sprawling, the hand of his bat poking him in the throat, and he needed brief treatment before continuing.
Earlier, it was Ian Bell who provided staunch resistance by occupying the crease for almost six hours in scoring 75.
Skipper Alastair Cook said watching England's passage to safety was a nerve-wracking experience.
He paid credit to the efforts of Prior, Bell and Broad, saying England - who won their series in India late last year after batting out a draw in the final Test - had proven themselves a tough side to beat.
"Ideally, you don't want to be in that situation," he said.
"But if you find yourself behind the eight ball, the character we've shown today and in India can only be a good thing."
The two sides meet again in two Tests in England in May, before England embark on back-to-back home-and-away Ashes series.

This bed and breakfast is outstanding. The location is walking distance to a beautiful town filled with restaurants and shops along the water. The house itself is immaculate, beautifully decorated, and comes with the most incredible breakfast. Ellen and Larry are kind and they do everything right. You will love your stay here.

Great B&B in St. Petersburg. Perfect neighborhood for exploring downtown St. Pete and the harbor/marina/park areas. Walkable distance from all attractions. Great service and hospitality by owners Larry and Ellen. Very cute and comfortable rooms (we had to stay in two different rooms during our weekend stay, but that wasn't a problem at all. Ellen just moved the suitcases for us). Breakfast was always delicious and different, and the conversation with the other guests around the table was also a plus. I highly recommend it!

My husband and I stayed four nights at the Larelle House B&B to escape for the Boston cold! What a wonderful experience! The location cannot be beat with the proximity to the harbor and Beach Drive! Accommodations were first class and the breakfasts were delicious! Parking was easily available which is a huge plus for us! Ellen was very welcoming! Fabulous experience!

I would recommend Larelle House B & B. Lovely old floridian home, hospitable owners, and great breakfast. The owners were very hospitable and friendly, the home has a lovely ambience. My only remark is that they do have cats and maybe thay should state that on their website for people with allergies to cats. The cats are not in the bedroom area. The photos do not do the home justice, it is a lovely B&B.

Absolutely fabulous. Exceptionally clean, close to the sites, amazing breakfasts, and wonderful innkeepers. Visiting the Larelle House is like coming home for a wonderful vacation.

We actually live in Tampa, but my husband was a participant in a triathlon this past weekend and we felt it would be nice to have a "staycation" in St. Pete. Ellen and Larry couldn't have made it more comfortable for us and the other athletes that were staying at this charming B &B. We really appreciated them getting up early on race day to be sure the athletes had breakfast before the race (which, by the way, was around 4 in the morning). Everything was so comfortable, clean, and cozy. We felt like we were on a vacation visiting relatives! Thanks again so much Ellen and Larry for the warm hospitality and can't wait to visit Larelle House again soon! Petrina and Don

My husband and I spent the Valentine's Day weekend at the Larelle House B&B and we could not have happier with the decision we made to stay there. I normally do not read reviews, but since I wanted to make sure this weekend was extra special I chose Larelle house purely on reviews. So here go my thoughts. Larry and Ellen were wonderful hosts, they accommodated our bikes and were very attentive when we needed directions or recommendations for place to dine at. They served amazing breakfast and on Sunday, mimosas were included! there were always cookies and water available and the house was always warm and cozy. This B&B has a fantastic location! you are walking distance to the main street with beautiful views, dinning options and shopping. The nights are fun and if you get lucky you can even find a restaurant with live music. The accommodations were wonderful, spotless clean, super comfortable and just the romantic getaway you are looking for if you want to spend some time with your better half. We are definitely coming back!

Exceeded my expectations which had been reduced as a result of a one nite stay the week before at the Beach Drive Inn. While Larelle House is not easy to find, it is certainly worth the effort and is within a couple of blocks of the Beach Drive Inn. The breakfast was very good, the rooms nicely furnished and clean and the rest of the house was also very nice and they have a lovely exterior and grounds. This will be our B & B of choice from now on in downtown St. Pete.

Although we made last minute request to stay at Larelle House, Larry and Ellen were gracious and accomodating. My daughter commented, "I feel so special" as we enjoyed a freshly made apple and sausage bake for breakfast. Our stay was delightful I'm every way! I am a former innkeeper at a bed and breakfast in New England

We spent two delightful nights at the Larelle House B&B in February of this year. the full breakfasts are excellent and the location is just a few blocks from the pier and many good restaurants. While parking in the commercial areas is somewhat of a problem, walking to where you want to go is the way to travel. Private parking at the B&B is available. The Museum of Art, the Dali Museum, and the Don Cesar Hotel are all must places to visit. Our best wishes to Larry and Ellen! Keep doing what you have been doing.

We had a wonderful stay at the larelle house and will be making another visit soon. The room was very comfortable and the back yard was a great place to sit with a glass of wine and relax. Everything was within walking distance and Ellen and Larry were very hospitable and served us a great breakfast.

My husband and I stayed at the Larelle House B&B for a recent vacation to St. Petersburg and couldn't have been happier. The house is located within a very short, pleasant walk of the Vinoy Hotel, art galleries, restaurants, and Tampa Bay. We loved exploring the area by foot and appreciated the availability of bicycles to tour the area further. The Larelle House hosts were gracious, polite, and unobtrusive. The food was excellent--we tended not to have lunch until 1:30 or so due to the full breakfasts served. We stayed in the Lavinia Room, which was comfortable, clean, and even featured a bit of sherry for a nightcap. The resident cats were welcome company as well. We have recommended Larelle House to our friends and look forward to going back.

Je vous recommande ce site....tout est parfait

My sister gave my husband and me a gift certificate for a stay at the Larelle House and we enjoyed it so much that we purchased a gift certificate to say thank you to a special couple who have been such good friends to us. We were anxious to hear if they enjoyed their stay as much as we did...and, of course they had! Not only are Ellen and Larry excellent hosts, their bed and breakfast is in a wonderful location with walking distances to so many great places to eat and things to do! You won't be disappointed! Jane and Jim Pierce

Beautiful house, great hosts. The breakfasts are amazing -- the breakfasts are really a gourmet brunch! Easy walking distance to downtown. I really enjoyed the grounds. It was a very comfortable stay. If you are staying in St Pete, put Larelle House on the top of your list.

Our Stay at this B&B was impressive. The Victorian and antique decor brought warmth and comfort to our retreat. When we arrived early, The hosts - Larry and Ellen, were attentive and helpful and offered us bikes to stroll the St. Pete area which we found quaint and populated with great restaurants and fun things to do. The room we stayed in was elegantly comfortable with a king size bed and private bath. The 2 breakfast we had were each unique in gourmet fashion. This has to be the best kept secret of elegance, gourmet, service and hospitality in St. Peterburg, FL.

Liked this setting and the house very much. The owners are great. I would stay there again. The breakfast was like a 5star restaurant. Couldn't have been more impressed. Had a great local eatery right down the street, walking distance.

I would have liked to have had a choice of how I wanted my eggs done. i don't think it is too much trouble for small B&B to take the time to ensure that I have a choice of how to have eggs for breakfast.

My husband and I enjoyed our weekend in St. Pete staying at the Larelle B&B. This was our irst trip to St. Pete Larry and Ellen were welcoming and helpful. The house is restored tastefully and is quite charming. I only wish the walls could talk to tell us about the last 100 years! Be prepared for a lovely breakfast and to loosen your belt. Yes, we will return and will recommend the Larelle House to others.

My husband and I stayed at the Larelle House for our First Anniversary. It was such a perfect location for our weekend getaway. Beautiful house with beautiful furnishings. We loved the provided bikes. Super convenient and fun to explore the waterfront. The hot tub was a wonderful way to unwind after a long day of beach-going and sight seeing. Breakfast was delicious, my husband enjoyed the port, and the hosts were delightful. We would definitely stay again!

Though our visit was only one night, it was our first time staying at a B&B and it was great. I have been trying to get my husband to take me for the past 17 years and he finally did! We both really enjoyed it and will definitely do it again. Gunther & Martha Miami Springs, FL

This B & B is beautifully resorted - right down to the doorknobs! Our hosts were charming and the location makes the entire St. Petersburg waterfront walkable. The price is very reasonable. We stayed in the Hemmingway Room; this room didn't have an en suite but our private bath was just across the hall AND ours was the only room with a private balcony. There are only 4 rooms so it is very quiet and private. There is no risk involved in chosing the Larelle House; DO it.

I stayed at Larelle House with a friend of mine; we were in town for the St. Pete Rock n Roll 1/2 Marathon. The staff was excellent-very knowledgeable and accommodating. They had a perfect pre-race breakfast waiting for us-very early in the morning! I would definitely recommend this place.

The home is on a beautiful red brick street one block away from the Vinoy and a short distance from the water. The owners were very welcoming and took us on a tour of the beautiful home. They offer free softdrinks, water and cookies. The room was beautifully arranged like we were fit for royalty. They have a hot tub and the owners gave us a nice smelling stuff to put in the hot tub for our enjoyment. Ask about the bikes as they are nice cruisers; we were even complimented on how nice the bikes looked. The breakfast was great with broiled and cinnamon grapefruit, fun multi-cheese eggs and mimosas! Great stay and a home away from home.

We are so thrilled that we chose Larelle House as our Honeymoon spot! We were married 9-10-11 in Tampa, Florida and planned a weekend honeymoon at what is now our favorite Bed and Breakfast! From the moment we pulled up we knew we were going to make some memories to last a lifetime! The entire feel captures you and takes you on a Romantic "back in time" journey. Our room was warm and inviting, the furniture and settings of every room was amazing and the hospitality of Larry and Ellen was top notch. It is by far the best B&B in the area! There was always homemade cookies or treats and drinks all hours of the day and night, the breakfast was so beautifully presented and served, the flowers were fresh, the candles were lit in the evenings, the rooms had turndown service and were refreshed every evening, the gazebo covered hot tub and so many more great qualities and things that made our stay so great. It is also close to so many great things to do right there in it's own "back yard". You have the pier which always has free entertainment, food venues, shopping and of course the amazing view of the water; tons of museums and the historic Sunken Gardens are right around the corner, and not to mention Tropicana Field about 2 miles away! Yes, Larelle House Bed & Breakfast is deffinately something everyone should experience! Great for family vacations, romantic getaways, stress relieving weekend, honeymooners, sports fans in for the games, birthday getaways....oh and we would LOVE to know how the Holidays would be! Thanks Larry and Ellen! Jack and Melissa Clark

My husband and I were headed to St. Petersburg, Florida for a weekend to see a Boston Red Sox baseball game and needed a place to stay. We did not want to stay in a large hotel. The Larelle House was picked after seeing it on BedandBreakfast.Com. What a good choice. It was everything we expected and more. Would not hesitate to return.
4.0 on September 11, 2011
We selected the location as it was in the middle of our originating locations. It was a beautiful home with exquisite, appropriate appointements that had a relaxing and comfortable feel. Larry and Ellen were more than accomodating and friendly without being overbearing. The room we chose had a fabulously comfortable bed and all the comforts of home. We only wish we had more time to spend there and will certainly try to return as soon as possible.
5 on July 31, 2011
I can't say enough praise about the Larelle House. Ellen and Larry are wonderful, warm hosts. The Victorian house is charming and quaint and furnished with gorgeous period furniture. All the amenities are here from off street parking, complimentary cookies and beverages, comfy robes in the rooms, use of bicycles, hot tub, and dvd players in your room. The front porch even has netting to save you from those pesky mosquitoes. Ellen's breakfast is restaurant quality yummy with 3 courses! It is located in a perfect location, walking distance to museums shops and restaurants. The place is immaculate and the beds are dreamy. We hated to see our stay end. We celebrated our anniversary there and can't wait to return.

What an enjoyable stay at the Larelle House B&B. We were greeted by the Innkeeper Larry which gave us a tour of their lovely home and made us feel right at home. The only item I was unaware of is they have cats in the home and I'm deathly allergic to cats which caused some discomfort while sitting in their library. Our room was cat free, however, I found it difficult to breath downstairs from the cats. I just wished I had been advised of their cats before I arrived so I could have taken an allergy pill a head of time.

Ellen & Larry were great hosts and wonderful cooks. The stay was relaxing, and the people there were very nice. My only complaint was that we could not have stayed longer. I am so impressed with how St. Pete has changed! We will be back.

My husband and I stayed at Larelle House for two nights in May. My husband was participating in a triathlon and we choose Larelle House because of its location and good reviews we read on Tripadvisor. This was our first stay at a B & B and we both LOVED it. Our hosts, Larry and Ellen Nist, were the perfect hosts. They are so friendly and welcomed us with a tour of the home, which is very nicely decorated, very clean, and so comfortable! They were very knowledgable about the downtown area and local businesses/ restaurants. They were very accomodating with the race schedule (there were several athletes staying there), even serving breakfast on the morning of the triathlon at 5:00 a.m. When we returned around noon from the race, they had prepared a champagne celebration for the athletes!! There are three kitties who live there and are so sweet!! The backyard is comfortable and inviting -- such a nice place to sit and relax. Every room is nicely furnished and very comfortable. The yummy homemade cookies are always available in the dining room. The breakfasts are wonderful. Your bed is turned down at night -- very nice!! Everything about our stay was perfect and we could tell that Larry and Ellen worked very hard to make sure it was that way.

OUTSTANDING-- and we've already booked our stay for the 2012 Tampa Bay Blues Fest!

What a great spot in St Pete! Larry & Ellen Nist were fantastic and accommodated our very late arrival. I will always stay there on our trips again!
5 on March 31, 2011
Spent 4 nights at the Larelle House in late March - everything was delightful, the room, the location, the furnishings, the innkeepers - who didn't miss a detail, and the breakfasts were enormous and fantastic. There is outside living space that is private and an enjoyable way to relax in the evening. There's even a spa that we didn't get an opportunity to use only because we didn't have time. Will definitely be back.
5 on March 27, 2011
Larry and Ellen made us feel welcome the minute we arrived. Family business will take us to St. Pete many times in the future and we plan to stay with them every time we return to St. Petersburg. The home is elegant and the rooms are comfortable. We found the outside to be a real treasure as well, the spacious front porch, the covered "reading area" in the back yard, and the hot tub were all used during our stay. Even the side yard seating area we used to eat our carry out one night. The location is great to nearby downtown shopping and the Tampa Bay waterfront and Pier. And yet the neighborhood was quite and quaint. Next time we plan to take advantage of the bikes they have available.
4.4 on March 20, 2011
Great B&B. We stayed for entire spring break week. Very nice clean Victorian room decorated with period reproductions. The bathroom was small but adequate and in keeping with the house. In the historical Old Northeast neighborhood which is very quiet. Close to great parks and small beach facing Tampa Bay. The downtown location encourages visits to cultural exhibits. We visited both the Dali Museum and Chihuly Gallery and we never do that on normal beach vacation. The hosts are great and served huge, high quality breakfasts. We generally skipped lunch and had an early light dinner. It was a wonderful week.

We recently (3/12-14/2011) found a wonderful bed and breakfast in St. Petersburg … a real hidden treasure. The owners were terrific and the place was just fantastic. With its 1900's southern charm and magnificent rooms we had just a great time being in the house. Larry and Ellen are awesome hosts and made sure that we were taken care of during our stay. They even provided bikes which allowed us to tour the city and beaches. Would highly recommend the Larelle House Bead and Breakfast …
5 on March 09, 2011
We booked this Bed and Breakfast for a romantic night away from home and we had a fantastic time. Everything in St. Petersburg is available in walking distance and the Bed and Breakfast has brand new bicycles that we enjoyed using on Saturday afternoon. We checked in around 1PM and were on the bikes within minutes. The grounds are fantastic and Larry and Ellen were wonderful hosts. Our room was excellent and we loved the decorations in the house, Larry took the time to warm up the outdoor spa for us when we returned from our evening meal and it was nice to realax and stare into the stars. We really enjoyed our stay here and next time we are in St. Petersburg we will stay again.
4.6 on February 20, 2011
Last minute, my husband and I decided to check out the new Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. We booked Saturday for a Sun-Tues stay, but Ellen & Larry were gracious (as were their neighbors)! We had a very cozy, fun room -- loved the sherry, what a nice touch to have a nightcap waiting for you. We had a little balcony, which was nice, considering the relatively warm weather. It overlooked a beautiful courtyard and hot tub. In fact, the whole B&B was one of the prettiest I had ever seen! So lovely. It's close to everything, yet located just a little off of the main street, so it's quieter and more peaceful. One of our favorite things were the cruiser bikes the B&B had available for us to use. We biked to the museum and all over St. Petersburg one day. I'd highly recommend this B&B, and if we're ever in St. Pete's again, we'll definitely be staying here!
5 on January 31, 2011
My wife and I enjoyed a last minute trip to St. Pete to visit the new Salvador Dali Musuem for her birthday. We looked at numerous B&Bs, and we know that we made the right choice with the Larelle House. The elegance of the home, the hospitality from the innkeepers, and the delicious breakfasts were all outstanding. We also enjoyed the complimentary bike cruisers. They were excellent for exploring the city. We hope that others will love the Larelle House as much as we did.
5 on January 28, 2011
The Room and comforts were terrific. Cozy and truly enjoyable; clean room, and the added touches of romance with a little balcony, charm of cookies and coffee and special nightcap drink they provided. Such great hosts and such a terrific location to bring in the New Year. The next morning a wonderful breakfast far exceeding our expectations and wonderful conversation with other couples who stayed there as well. A great way to celebrate New Years Eve and an even better way to bring in 2011. I would highly recommend to anyone the Lrelle House Bed and Breakfast! Bob and Kim Hochberger of Palm Harbor FL

Beautifully decorated rooms and lovely setting. Very Friendly, but professional too. The little extra touches like the sherry in the rooms and the gorgeous garden and hot tub that you can relax in, make a difference, and the breakfast is amazing!

Had a great stay, nice location close to water front and some good restaurants - will stay again when next in St Pet

We couldn't wait to go back. This was our second time staying at the Larelle House B&B...we love everything about our stay. We are thrilled to see how St. Petersburg is becoming the "in" place to go! Looking forward to our next visit. Deborah and Chuck Gurchak McMurray PA

The Larelle House is a beautiful home in a great neighborhood very close to St. Petersburg's museums, restaurants,nightlife and water front. We had great service and an enjoyable stay. My only less than enthusiastic comment is that the room was too heavily furnished for its size. We selected the Larelle House for its convenience, price and location, not because it was an historic bed and breakfast, and I thought the room was a bit too tight. Nonetheless, I highly recommend the Larelle House to anyone looking for great hospitality while in St. Petersburg.
3.6 on October 28, 2010
The owners were very friendly and personable. Good location for touring downtown St. Pete.

Our visit was great but not long enough. We enjoyed our stay very much and really appreciated the bikes that Larry provided for us to ride around town. Larry guided us to a swimming pool, made us feel at home. Enjoyed the spa and Ellen's breakfast. Next visit will be longer so we can enjoy the B & B more.

We stayed at Larelle House this past February for our anniversary and had a great time. Ellen and Larry really know how to make a guest feel welcome. This was our first time staying at a Bed and Breakfast and we were very pleased with our selection. I was looking to stay at a Bed and Breakfast with more of an antique type of setting and Larelle House was exactly what I was looking for. Ellen makes the best cookies that are set out for the guests to enjoy and the sherry on the night stand was a great touch to a nite cap while settling into a cozy, romantic room. We stayed in the Longley Room and although all rooms are cozy and adorable I was very pleased with the room we selected. We had a delicious breakfast and enjoyed visiting with other guests over wine and cheese the night before. I'm a cat lover so I really enjoyed the friendly and adorable cats that live at Larelle House. I strongly recommed Larelle House! J. Page

I had the pleasure of staying at the Larelle House B&B recently on a business trip to St. Petersburg, FL. Fortunately for me, I could not get a room at the Vinoy (which is less than 1 block away) for the conference I attended. This historic home has been beautifully restored and sits in a quiet neighborhood with easy access (i.e. by foot) to the pier and parks of St. Petersburg. Originally built in 1908, the Inn is spectacularly appointed with period furniture and artifacts and is remarkably clean at all times. I stayed in the Hemingway Room which is perfect for the business traveler - plenty of space without being huge, excellent wifi connection, cable TV, etc. I slept very well on the antique, yet firm full bed with mosquito netting for the full Hemingway effect. There was no need for it, of course, as there were no bugs in the room! I also really enjoyed the keyless entry for getting into and out of the Inn. The owners, Ellen and Larry Nist, are always available to serve your needs as a guest. The common areas are very relaxing and the breakfasts were something to look forward to everyday. So was the complimentary Sherry every evening. Unfortunately, I never found the time to use the lovely hot tub in the quaint gardens of the backyard. Next time, I must bring my wife and family to visit the Larelle house for a vacation! If you like the B&B experience, this is one of the best. I strongly recommend the Larelle House to anyone traveling to St. Petersburg

We had a great time at the Larelle House. Our room, though somewhat small, was charmingly decorated in the usual antique style. We were given free sherry for a nightcap. The house had several seating areas throughout, as well as a nice porch with rocking chairs and a swing. There was a nice jacuzzi in the back yard as well. Our hosts were friendly and did a great job making us feel at home. The food here was outstanding. The breakfasts had three courses, including granola, eggs benedict, cake, and other dishes, all homemade. Definitely a highlight of our weekend. There are also coffee, tea, and cookies available at all hours, which is a nice feature. The Larelle house is in an excellent location, a short walk from the Vinoy, and the many shops and restaurants in downtown St Pete. We enjoyed not having to get in the car for the whole weekend. We would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone.
4.0 on March 24, 2010
This B&B is in a terrific location; the owner was very hospitable and personable. Breakfast was hearty and delicious. We enjoyed using the hot tub and sitting by the gas fire, as it was cold when we were there.
5 on February 20, 2010
From the minute you arrive, Larry & Ellen, Larelle House owners, are as warm and inviting as the beautiful home itself. We arrived to a cozy fire on a freezing day in Florida. I wasn't sure about booking the Hemingway room because it was the smallest of the rooms, but I was so pleased when we entered. It was tastfully decorated with access to the rear porch. My husband and I woke up each day, grabbed a cup of coffee, and sat on the porch enjoying the quaint neighborhood. Nature lovers would be overwhelmed at the tree lined streets, squirrels, birds, dog-freindly parks and of course the Gulf and Bay. Breakfast was fantastic and we relished sitting in the dining room with other guests as we were served by our hosts. It truly felt like turning back time to a less hectic and restful era. We really felt like one of the family, comfortable in all beautifully decorated rooms. If you need a break and want comfortable luxury, this is the place! We can't wait to go back!
5 on May 05, 2009
I originally decided to try Larelle House because I was going to the Grand Prix of St. Pete and wanted off-street parking for my car. Larelle House is quite conveniently located. The service and hospitality I received from Larry and Ellen knocked my socks off! The facilities are first rate and the breakfasts? Better than the races! If you're traveling to the St. Pete area, do yourselves a favor and give Larry a call! This was my first B&B stay......now I've booked this weekend in Apalachicola for my wife's birthday and we'll be staying at Florida B&Bs often.
5 on May 02, 2009
We recently spent an "event" weekend at Larelle House and were absolutely pampered by Ellen and Larry. The food was delicious and plentiful, the antiques and furnishings were tasteful, and every effort was made by the hosts to make our stay relaxing and memorable, from the plush robes for running down to the hot tub, to the fresh baked cookies, the carafe of sherry by the bedside, and the use of bicycles to pedal around the St. Pete waterfront. We've already reserved our rooms for next year, too !!
5 on April 30, 2009
We regulary visit St Pete and over the years we have stayed in every hotel downtown. Larelle House is warm, comfortable, friendly...Ellen, Larry our stay couldn't have been more enjoyed. We'll see you next time we're in town. (cookies! yum)
4.6 on December 02, 2008
From the moment we got a call to see if we were lost we knew this was going to be a memorable stay with some of the nicest inkeepers we have had the pleasure of staying with. As we pulled up to the holiday lights we were welcomed with a tour of the home and some of the most delicious cookies we have ever tasted. In our beautifully decorated room we settled in immediately and had a sip of sherry before we headed out to dinner. The location was excellent -- close enough to all the sights but tucked away so if you want to escape you can. Upon return we cozied into our bed that had been turned down and had a wonderful nights sleep amongst the soft sheets and blankets.We woke to the smell of our 3 course breakfast that exceeded even my pregnant appetite and cravings. The house was warm and lived in with that special touch that just keeps you feeling good. From parking to the paper at our door to the complimentary bikes to ride and the hot tub to soak in, there was really nothing left to want. We have stayed in many bed and breakfasts and this one has all the elements you hope to get when booking this kind of accomodations. If I had to say what the difference is between this one and the others we have stayed in it would be the pride the inn keepers have for there home and what they are willing to do to make sure you feel just as at home as they do. With a cozy home a comfortable room at a fair price in a great location and food to satisfy all given with pleasure what more could you really ask for in a bed and breakfast.
5 on December 01, 2008
This was an exceptional visit. The house is beautiful and the caretakers, Ellen and Harry, were very accommodating and friendly. The breakfasts were outstanding! We definitely recommend this B&B. You will not be disappointed!
5 on June 24, 2008
Larry and Ellen's home is beautiful! The Larelle House is located within walking distance to the historic district, wonderful restaurants and Tampa Bay. We never had to use our car. Ellen's homemade cookies and breakfast were "to die for" good. Larry was helpful with suggestions for restaurants and directions. We had a great two nights and hope to return.
5 on April 06, 2008
For anyone who is trying to decide whether to stay at this bed and breakfast or a hotel or resort, I highly recommend Larelle House. The location is outstanding, as you can enjoy walking or bike riding from this B & B along the scenic bay (We saw four manatees in one day!), through the historic northeast neighborhoods, or to the museums, restaurants, or special weekend events in downtown St. Pete. There is so much to do in the area and the the inn keepers are so helpful in providing you with information of things to do and places to go. Every detail of each room at the inn is amazing, as are the grounds! The innkeepers make you feel at home in so many ways. There are fountains in the beautifully landscaped yard, a gazebo over hot tub, bicycles, plush bathrobes, chocolates on the pillows, homemade cookies, a guest fridge filled with bottled water & sodas, gourmet breakfasts which are truly out of this world! I would advise anyone who is even thinking about staying here to be sure to make their reservations way in advance so as not to miss the chance of an unforgetable experience. This is an excellent romantic getaway destination which exceeded our expectations. Having stayed at other very nice bed and breakfasts before, without a doubt this one was the best! We plan to return as soon as possible.
5 on March 04, 2008
Larry and Ellen's entire home embodies a "warm welcome." Every room is richly appointed with antique dark wood and wrought iron and the bathrooms, with the old ball and claw tubs and brass piping all match the Victorian façade. The breakfasts were hot, hearty and delicious. For example, Saturday I had a baked half grapefruit topped with brown sugar and a cherry, fresh-baked crustless spinach quiche with home fries and sausage, topped off with homemade blueberry pie! It was so good. Ellen really goes all out for their guests' appetites :-) Larry was very helpful with his local knowledge, even assisting me with directions and printing my boarding pass for me when I had to (reluctantly) leave. I loved that they had a few very lovable cats in the house—it really made me feel like I was at home.

Teh Innkeepers were very nice and accomadating. We were staying there to participate ina race and they were up super early to make sure everyone got to eat. Also My boyfriend was super sick and tehy really helped me out trying to take care of him. Rooms were nice and clean. Jacuzzi was nice post race
5 on August 07, 2007
This B & B is one of the nicest B & B's that I have stayed at (and I've been to many). The hosts were nice & very accomodating. The room was very clean & comfortable. The fresh baked cookies & drinks available 24/7 were a great bonus. The breakfasts were delicious, creative, and filling. The use of the jacuzzi at the end of the day made for great relaxation time. The free use of the bikes was also a nice perk, as we rode down to the nearby park & beach & enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Overall, this was a wonderful b & b that I definitely plan to return to.

My husband and I were delighted to stay in this charming B&B. The room was lovely and comfortable, breakfast was divine, and ith innkeepers were pleasant and very helpful. We highly recommend.

When checking out a new gadget, one of the first things that creates an impression in a consumer's mind is the way the device looks and the way it feels when it is being used. In other words, a product's design is a pretty big deal, and companies that make phones and tablets are well aware of that fact.

The players say they want to see the financials. The commissioner says the league provided 76,000 pages worth.
I'm telling you, this thing is going to take a while, and I certainly appreciate that, this time, I haven't had to cover this. It's going to be tedious and lengthy.
Kind of makes my little problems seem like nothing, like my laptop woes which were mostly — I think — solved by our great tech guy Mike yesterday.
Hopefully the audio will be working the next time there's a hockey interview to be done, and hopefully we might add a video component once in a while this season. If there is a "this season."

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
When a mother is trying console an upset child, she will lower her voice and talk in a slow, calm manner. This works because people tend to adopt the attitudes of the people around them. If you are interacting with someone who is stressed out, they will be radiating a lot of nervous energy, which will probably make you start felling stressed out as well. Conversely, if you hang out with people who are calm and relaxed you will start feeling more calm and relaxed as well.
If you are feeling stressed out, you can use this technique to get rid of some of that nervous energy. First, make sure that you are breathing properly. Now, slow everything down in an exaggerated way. Speak slowly, walk slowly, move your arms slowly, breath slowly. Pretend that someone has hit the slow-motion button on the remote control for your life. It may seem unnatural or silly, but try to do this for at least 10 minutes and you may find that you have slowed your mind down and that you feel a lot more relaxed.
When people are under stress they often clench their teeth. This can lead to tight jaw muscles. This tightness can then spread to other muscles in the head and neck and may even contribute to back pain and tension headaches. The following stretching and massage exercise will help eliminate the problem at the source.
First, open your mouth as wide as it will go to get a good stretch of the jaw muscles. Do this a few times. Now, try to open your mouth again, but use your hand to give some resistance. You should feel your jaw muscles trying hard to open your mouth against the force from your hand. Maintain this pressure for at least thirty seconds and repeat a few times. This may help teach your jaw to stop clenching. Now, take your two fingers and find the small indentation at the back of the jaw muscle near the ears. Push on either side until you feel a slight pain and massage the muscle a little bit. This will help relax the tension that is already there.
Squeezing a stress ball is an effective way to get rid of your frustrations. Being under stress can cause extra energy to build up in the body. The repetitive exercise of squeezing a stress ball can expend some of this excess energy and make you feel calmer. As a bonus, it builds up your wrist strength.
To make your own stress ball, you will need some small balloons. Using a scissors cut the neck off of a few of the balloons. Fill up one of the balloons with uncooked rice, small beans or beads. Now, take a second balloon and wrap it around the first one to cover the opening. Wrap several more balloons around the ball to thicken the wall and adjust the firmness to your liking. Squeeze away!
Stress :: Worry Time
Worry is one of the most potent antidotes to creativity. In order to fully immerse yourself in the creative process, you must be able to clear your mind of all worries.
One technique is to postpone your worries to a specified time at the end of the day. Perhaps you could stop at the park on the way home from work. Or maybe you could settle into your comfy chair after dinner. Wherever and whenever you set your time, try to make it a daily routine. This will get you in the habit of postponing all your worries until the designated time.
During your worry time, give yourself permission to review all the frustrations, irritations or other worries that you have had during the day. Use this time to try to find resolutions or steps that you can take to resolve some of your anxieties. Once your time is up, put your worries aside and trust in your subconscious mind to keep working on the problem for tomorrow's session.
Tension headaches are the most common type of headaches. They usually appear as a dull throbbing pain that can radiate from the neck, back, eyes or head. The exact cause of tension headaches is still unknown, but a common theory is that it stems from muscle contractions around the head, neck and jaw. The brain may misinterpreted this tension as pain.
The most common cause of this type of muscle tension is stress. Many people respond to stress by clenching their teeth or hunching their shoulders. This tension can quickly spread to other nearby muscle groups and caused referred pain. It is not uncommon for back problems to originate in the jaw! The more muscles that tense up, the more likely it will be for a tension headache to develop.
Tension headaches can be treated with over the counter pain medications as well as relaxation techniques such as massage or meditation. Learning how to relax the muscles in your neck, back and shoulders will help your avoid getting tension headaches. The shoulder stretching exercise is one good way to accomplish this.

Liam Friend's own-goal set the visitors on their way just before the hour before Erhun Otzumer doubled Hamlet's advantage on 71 minutes - his 17th of the season.
But the visitors could have struck sooner when striker Daniel Carr rattled the inside of the post.
Invicta made a positive start to the second period but Hamlet's resolute defence showed why they are now three points clear at the top of the table.
Friend put through his own net after Otzumer had found Calaum Martin on the left hand side.
Shortly after, Otzumer sealed the win after picking up a perfectly-weighted ball through from Nyren Clunis.
With the three points heading back to south London, Hamlet could enjoy title rivals Maidstone United being held 2-2 at home by Crawley Down Gatwick.
Hamlet welcome the high-flying Stones to Champion Hill in a top-of-the-table tie this Saturday, kick-off 3pm.

Nearly 200 Students, Faculty, and Staff Volunteer for "In My Backyard" Day of Service
Nearly 200 incoming students, faculty, and staff participated in the In My Back Yard (IMBY) Public Service Day on Aug. 20, volunteering at a number of city and non-profit organizations in local Washington, D.C. neighborhoods.
IMBY is organized each year by the law school's rising 2L Public Interest/Public Service (PIPS) Scholars.
The annual event kicks off JD orientation, and allows new students to become acclimated to the city while returning students and staff reconnect with their community. Participation in IMBY also counts toward the law school's Pro Bono Honors Pledge Program, which recognizes graduating students who have completed a minimum of 75 hours of pro bono legal assistance and community service.
One participating organization, Life Pieces to Masterpieces, provides after-school art programs for young African American men in poverty-stricken Washington, D.C. neighborhoods. IMBY volunteers helped to organize recently renovated classrooms by mopping floors, cleaning windows, and painting the walls.
"We were happy to contribute to their efforts to provide an outlet for young men and boys who may not have many resources for support," said Alia Al-Khatib, a second-year student and IMBY organizer.
IMBY volunteers also spent time at Martha's Table, Food and Friends, SEED, Carpenter's Shelter, Sasha Brush Youthwork, and the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens.
"I think participants were happy to be contributing to an organization in a city where they plan to spend the next three years, said Al-Khatib. "A number of the participants were new to Washington, D.C., so it was beneficial for them to learn about the different racial and class disparities within the city, and to hear about some of the amazing work that is done at various organizations to provide solutions. I think volunteering at IMBY Day is a wonderful introduction to law school and living in Washington, D.C., and it was a great success this year."
IMBY and The Pro Bono Honors Pledge Program are an integral part of the law school's focus on public interest work and community engagement.

It's The Clean Freak vs. The Slob: Who Wins in the Relationship?
You can't live comfortably if there's one piece of paper out of place. He likes to keep his socks on the floor—where he can find them. How do you handle a relationship when your other half is the opposite of you?
– Michelle Mazzarella, sparkology.com
It happens all too often. He's a great guy; you love spending time with him…but that growing pile of dirty dishes nags at you and diminishes his appeal. But holding out for a clean freak isn't always the answer—remember how Bridget Jones was put off by Mark folding his underwear when they spent nights together? Dating and relationship experts of both sexes share their advice on how the two of you can clean up this particular mess and come to a compromise.
Read The Best Way to End a Relationship
Well, what could you really do? Common sense really—either suggest that they pick up after themselves or hire a maid. My best advice is to teach them how you organize yourself and perhaps it'll catch on. Usually, people are "slobs" because they lack organization and order. Show them the way with an Ikea catalogue and a label maker!
Maria Avgitidis is the owner of Agape Match, a matchmaking firm based in NYC that caters to New Yorkers and Greek-American singles.
Just be upfront about your pet peeves from the start. You probably won't change them, but you can modify the behavior. I am a total neat freak and my boyfriend…well not so much. When we moved in together we made a deal, I clean and he cooks. This way I don't nag him about cleaning up. He is a lot better about picking up after himself since he knows that messes drive me insane.
Taylor Cast is a dating and relationship expert, co-founder of The Urban Dater and author of I Made All the Mistakes (So You Don't Have To).
It's important to understand your partner's cleanliness pet peeves. If you're not on the same page with their neatness, understanding each other's gripes is half the battle. Be vocal to your mate about your own preferences, too. Separating chores between each other so you're each responsible for cleaning what you're good at will create a happy living space.

Slightly Smaller Apple TV 3,2 (A1469) Contains A5X SoC, BCM4334 Comboby Brian Klug on 1/29/2013 6:33 PM EST

boostern - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkMaybe Apple is going to teasform the AppleTV into a gaming console?
Bit then the question is...why not A6X? I think you are correct when you say recycling... Reply
name99 - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkONE model of Apple getting into gaming would be that AppleTV is the console, and you play games with dumb controllers --- whether D-Pad, or Wii, or even Kinect.
But that's an old model, and why reinvent the wheel?
Another model is that the AppleTV is essentially a co-ordinator/server/display controller, but the bulk of the computation is happening on each user's controller (which is of course an iPad or iPhone). In such a model, there is less need for ultimate CPU/GPU performance in the Apple TV box because most of the work is done in the iPad/iPhone.
Obviously this second model requires all users to own an iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch (which makes Apple happy), but it also allows for much more total compute power to be thrown at the problem. On the other hand, it's harder to program for (though this type of programming has become pretty mainstream in gaming, I'd imagine) and, bigger problem perhaps, it does's immediately lend itself to unusual game-specific peripherals (rifles, steering wheels, rock band instruments, etc). However it would not be hard to have those peripherals connect to the "owning" iOS device by BlueTooth.
Point is, to the extent that Apple wants to go down this path (of being a living room game hub), I see they will do it by requiring each user to own their own iOS device, and so they don't need as much computational capability in the Apple TV as a traditional console. Reply
inighthawki - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkSuch a programming model is not mainstream, and would be very difficult. The ability for each controller to be the powerhouse would effectively require the main console to be a server and have all of the players as network clients. Hardly an easy feat for indie developers. Sure your big name game companies won't have much of a problem making their engine work, but the hassle of ensuring a solid network layer and bug-free gameplay is far from ideal. Reply
smalM - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkAs S5L8945 is the original 45nm A5X, S5L8947 is most likely the die shrunk 32nm "A5XR2". Reply
ltcommanderdata - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkI wonder if this is Apple's 28nm HPM TSMC test chip? Assuming the iPhone 5S will have a June WWDC and will be using a 28nm HPM TSMC A7 SoC, the A6/A6X design might have been finished too late to be used as a test vehicle and have the results fed back into A7 development. The A5 wouldn't be a very good test since it'd be a very small chip at 28nm. The A5X is a good choice since it's a known design while being a big die chip for a harder test.
On a side note, I think the realignment of the iPhone and iPad launches are largely driven by SoC development. Unlike the iPad 2/iPhone 4 A5 SoC days, the resolution difference between the devices means they can no longer share a chip. It makes sense that the iPad uses the iPhone's SoC with an enlarged SoC. That necessitates the iPhone launching first each calender year and the iPad following. So I think the iPhone launching mid-year with an A_ SoC followed by the iPad launching September/October with a derivative A_X SoC will be the pattern going forward. Reply
Brian Klug - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkYou are correct, I forgot to note the +2 change and the corresponding possibility of a die shrink/process node change. I've noted it above. :)
-Brian Reply
AdamChew - Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - linkYes apple have stopped innovating and now only doing recycling whereas others are innovating leaps and bounds.
Sad isn't it 80k people at Cupertino don't know what to do and all the pundits are innovating like mad. Reply
rangerdavid - Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - linkAn acorn hits you on the head, and the sky is falling? I've seen other statements like this, and they puzzle me. Let me see if I understand this correctly: Apple will never release a new, innovative, or competitive product again.
Great. Can I buy your AAPL stock now?
But seriously, Apple will remain competitive for years and years. And you should thank them for initiating this wonderful technology horse race, Apple vs. Google vs ?Microsoft? (marginally). Apple is doing just fine.
I'm waiting for my wearable Siri^2-enabled Oakley-cobranded augmented-reality iSunglasses. Reply
darwinosx - Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - linkHe is joking, making fun of the pundits... Reply
lmcd - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkProbably excess stock. Reply
critical_ - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkRight now the Apple TV 3 has it's limits with the max video bit rate for video coding layer. I've never had a problem with the Apple TV 3 preset in Handbrake but I've experimented with higher bit rates and 2 things happen:
1) There isn't enough wireless bandwidth to stream it over wireless which necessitates a move to a wired connection.
2) The Apple TV 3 "plays" the file with the spinner spinning away but without any audio or video on the screen besides the scrubbing bar.
So I'd be interested to see AnandTech test the new Apple TV's ability to decode varying bit rate files versus older hardware to see if we have any new capabilities. If so, then I might have to re-encode my Blu-Rays for better quality output.
Beyond that, I don't see 4K being included any time soon. HDMI 1.4a supports 4096×2160 (4k) not at 60Hz or 30Hz but only at 24Hz at 36-bit/px color maximum. 3D support is limited to 1080p24. HDMI 4.1b allows for 1080p120. We'll need HDMI 2.0 to get 4096x2160p60 which is a ways away.
As for 3D, I don't see the Apple TV supporting frame packing any time soon so, at the moment, we're stuck with doing side-by-side (SBS) or over-under (OU) split frames and then relying on the TV to put it together in 3D. This effectively gives us "half" the resolution (I cringe when I describe it like that). With that said, I'd love a free frame packing encoder so we could re-encode 3D like the big studios but I doubt we'll see it any time soon. Let's not forget we just got Stereoscopic Player to allow us to playback MVC using a PC (and hardware players from companies like Dune are just emerging).
To be completely honest, my guess is that this is a way to use all the left over A5Xs and the capabilities won't be revolutionary only evolutionary. We'll have to wait a bit longer to see 3D and 4K content. Reply
jonod - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkSeeing as how this would be the only product Apple currently sells that uses the A5X, perhaps this is a sign that we'll see Apple implement the A5X in another product soon. If it is a die-shrink as smalM notes it could be above, maybe they're testing the process as they did with the A5 die shrink and Apple TV v3, which later showed up in the iPod Touch, iPad mini, and iPad 2 r2.
If so, I'm a little surprised they wouldn't jump straight to some sort of A6 swift-core variant.
then again, maybe they just wanted to beef up the GPU of the apple TV and this was the most cost-effective way, which might mean volume production on the A6 isn't quite as cheap as they could get on the A5X, despite the cheaper ARM license. Reply
darwinosx - Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - linkI would love to use an Apple TV but since they don't have Amazon streaming I use a Roku box. Also need Plex for streaming from my Mac to TV. Reply
Scannall - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkiTunes streams from your Mac or PC to your AppleTV just fine. Reply
McDave - Thursday, January 31, 2013 - link...Apple originally moved from A5 to A5X was to address higher resolution output for iPad Retina, not to add horsepower. If they were after the gaming market surely the A6 would be the way to go. How does A5 vs A5X rate in terms of HEVC compliance? That may provide more of a clue.
I was also hoping they could fuse AppleTV and Airport Express products to bring media streaming under better control/minimal config. but I guess they would have chosen higher throughput 802.11n or even 802.11ac if that were the case. I also think BT would work well for a separate, low-latency, easy pairing controller but I'd hoped they'd avoid the dumb controller route.
Not entirely the upgrade I was hoping for but hopefully it means they won't be going too far down the future-of-TV-is-a-bunch-of-disparate-apps path.
McD Reply
yesno - Thursday, January 31, 2013 - linkIt seems there are three possibilities.
* Apple TV is going to ramp up in functionality and will need more horsepower.
* Apple TV is a testbed for a new chip(process node) that will eventually make its way into a new product.
* There are a bunch of leftover A5Xs and the new part number just means they've been binned/have a disabled core.
I don't know why more people don't mention the leftovers theory. That's the only reason the Apple TV got the A5
I think the testbed and leftovers theories are most likely--or some combination of them. (For example, the new Apple TV may just be the scrapings of a new smaller process A5X.) Apple may eventually add more functionality to the Apple TV but it will probably be done on the cheap.
It is weird to me still that a TV is lower resolution than a phone. Reply

Depending on your insurance coverages, some docs will prescribe you a therapeutic pool prescription. Then you go and buy a continuous pool,(the ones that make a current to swim into). Insurance may or may not cover most to all the cost.(check with them on the coverage for it).
They make a great way to relax in the hot summer months too.
Jerry swimming cant be beat on a work out. No impact, and it works every muscle group in your body.
I hunt because......
If you can get to the gym hit an eliptical trainer. No impact. I had a bolt put in my ankle last July and am just now starting to run again.(Doc said I would be good in 3 months! BS)
Anyway I use the eliptical and always put it on random. I am constantly changing the resistance as I work out. When I am going uphill I add resistance to really increase the heart rate!
I have also been doing P90X for the last two months. Great workout, but starting to get boring.
Of course I am in Afghanistan so all this hard work won't pay off for the hunting mountains unitl next season!!! Watch out dall sheep and mule deer!
back again started Jan. 31 2011 weight over 238lbs. now am down to 192lbs Cycling, weights, lots of running and eating better.
had a bad knee it has healed, now I pull my hamstring a little stopped running for a little while going to start training for my first
marathon then in the spring will do my first ultra marathon.
Swimming! Excellent cardio, great upper body burn, and super low impact.
I started at 219 and down to 208. I'll continue to train hard till Aug. 23 or 24 then take it easy that last week. I've been hitting the hills, stairs, and eliptical machines really hard. Also cut out most sweets and carbs. I'm about to eat a whole cheesecake..lol .A change in diet has been the hardest for me by far. An elk video a day has kept me highly motivated. Keep up the good work everyone. You will feel so much better in more ways than one.
I dont want to talk about it.... lol
Started November at 320. Tried to get five or six miles of some sort cardio. I can now run three miles nonstop on the treadmill. Lots of weight lifting. Now down to 245. Gonna ditch the heavy weights and really focus on cardio. And higher intensity strength training. Can do six pullups which is my biggest feel good accomplishment. Shooting for 225 for my Wyoming sheep hunt next year
139 is what Im at now. 20 days until I'm hunting.
Can you handle the challenge.... hunt hard but safe!!
I didnt even know this was going on. O well. I was 195 on April 15th and as of today I am at 180. That was my goal to get to before August 15th. Went for a 3 mile off trail hike today and it was so much easier with 15 lbs off the gut! Glad I did it and am looking forward to elk season now.

POLICE are appealing for information about a burglary at the home of an elderly Redditch woman shortly after she was found deceased.
The burglary happened in Evesham Road, Astwood Bank, between 11.30pm on Monday, May 12 and 1.10pm on Wednesday, May 14.
It happened some time after the elderly occupant - a woman in her 80s - was discovered deceased at the house by police who forced entry on Monday evening following a report from a neighbour that she had not been seen for some weeks.
After the discovery of the woman's body, the side door was boarded up by police.
A forensic examiner attended the following afternoon to find that part of the board had been broken off and the house had been ransacked, with drawers and cupboards opened and the contents tipped on the floor.
At this stage police believe jewellery has been stolen
Detective Constable Adam Pugh of West Mercia Police said: "The house was left as secure as we were able to make it.
"This was not a random attack. Someone in the area was aware the woman had been found dead and has taken advantage to subsequently carry out the burglary.
"All burglaries are distressing but given the circumstances, this one is particularly upsetting."
The woman is believed to have been dead for around three weeks.
Her death is not being treated as suspicious, and next of kin have been informed.
Witnesses or anyone with information about the incident are being asked to call DC Pugh on the non-emergency number 101 quoting incident 252-s-140514 or ring the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Conference Wrap Up-ISTE 2010 by Sara Martin, Adobe Education Leader
The premiere educational technology conference, ISTE 2010 (formerly called NECC) took place In Denver Colorado this summer from June 27 – 30. The conference was THE place to be for anyone who is serious about improving teaching and learning to meet the needs of our students in this 21st century. Over 18,000 people participated in the conference. As common with large trade shows, the event was filled with workshops, speakers, virtual events utilizing things like webcasts and social media sites and of course, the exhibit hall with vendors galore.
My role at the conference was two-fold. First, I presented a 3 hour workshop on Video Production using my favorite editing software, Premiere Elements. Second, I hung out in the Adobe booth in my capacity of Adobe Education Leader, meeting and greeting educators from all over the world. Sharing our experiences is always enriching and leaves me energized and eager to get back to the classroom and try out the new ideas!
If you were unable to attend the conference in person, you can still experience some of the conference, as your own time schedule permits, in these ways:
Virtual webcasts from Denver, Colorado including other videos from other events such as last February's HP Innovations in Education Worldwide Summit can be found here:
Online Community:
ISTE has created a NING community online for the conference. Just go to www.iste2010.org to read what's being shared – or join and participate. It's free and an easy way to connect with other educators who share common interests.

The Time Warner Cable office on 23rd St near Park Avenue in New York City has something of the atmosphere of a soviet post office. Clerks staff a row of desks, calling customers forward at a languorous pace. During my visit, the queue stretched out of the door.
No one was there because they wanted anything from the company. Like me, they were there to give something back. When I took out a cable plan some months earlier, the company had insisted that I use one of its modems. I had to pay an installation fee and wait at home for a technician to turn up late and attach a cable – a ceremony I could have performed perfectly well myself. Now the company had changed its tune. I could use my own modem if I wanted to. But if I kept the one it had thrust upon me, I would have to pay rental of $48 a year. (The one I already owned had cost $18 to buy outright.) Read more

THE IRRESPRESSIBLE Joan Rivers is sharpening her knives and pouring acid on her tongue ahead of a gig in Birmingham, writes Steve Zacharanda.
The 81-year-old American comedienne is appearing at Birmingham's Symphony Hall as part of the not so subtly tour called Quick...Before They Close the Lid (Seriously...this one could be IT).
Joan will be delighted her tour has now become an event because a planned boycott petition has reached over 6,000 names and there is even talk of a protest outside her UK gigs.
That's 6,000 people saying they will not be going to a gig which they would not have gone to anyway.
In a country of 56 million, that leaves a lot of Joan fans who will be gagging to be offended.
However, I bet the fella who started the online petition will be lauded in whichever right on coffee shop he frequents.
You see Joan cracked a joke about the situation in Gaza, which naturally offended a lot of people who wanted to be offended.
But a few weeks back, when allowed back on The Tonight Show after being banned for over 30 years, she cracked a joke about the Holocaust.
So at least she offends everyone on either side of each divide.
And this all comes after she drew criticism for quipping about having less room than a couple of famous American kidnap victims.
But despite all the broohaha Joan does not apologise.
Which is such a relief in this "ready-to-be-outraged" society we live in now.
Where keyboard warriors manage to type complaining tweets whilst continually throwing their hands in the air in mock shock.
The celebrity apology is now a village industry but Joan rightly says "I am a comedienne, I don't make the decisions which kill people, I just tell jokes."
And she has been telling jokes for seven decades. She tells jokes about everything, even about her husband's suicide.
She is also an Emmy-winning television talk-show host, Tony-nominated actress, best-selling author, playwright and is currently starring in the TV show Fashion Police. Joan Rivers is at Birmingham Symphony Hall on Tuesday, October 14.
