Groenplaats 32, Antwerp
0.4 km from
Beautiful stay at the hotel. Perfect location and the room was nice very nice and comfortable. For sure I will come back again. Breakfast was too expensive, so I didn't try.
They didnt respect your reservation and tell us they dont have rooms even we get confirmation from kayak
We liked the central location, near shops, restaurants and touristic sights and the size, comfort and cleanliness of the rooms
Staff were competent, helpful and genuinely friendly.
Big rooms, comfortable beds, 2 chairs, big bathroom, good shower, great location just a block or so from the cathedral Staff kept asking for a voucher. I sent them the confirmation email and eventually that satisfied them.
A friendly environment in the heart of Antwerp with all comfort.

Very good breakfast. Cleanliness. Good bed Everything OK

Central location
As always: I like the location and the nice atmosphere of this hotel.It is very clean and the staff is realy nice and helpfull. Great breakfast. So I will look forward to my next stay .
privacy, quiet, central location shower broken. Towels had holes in them.
Superb location, so central. The staff member at reception on checking in was really friendly and helpful. Lovely room, very spacious as was the bathroom where the shower cubicle was separate from the bath which I love The price - it is very expensive though you do get what you pay for
Able to utilise my HHonours so free upgrade to Executive Suite and Lounge
The room was light and cheerful and the included breakfast was excellent. Good location. Staff spoke perfect English and was always helpful. Nothing that Ican think of.
The breakfast was very good, the room was big and clean. Yes, For such a expensive hotel wireless should be for free! A pit poor that you have to buy this at reception.
It was very nice to have a private garden. My wife smokes and we had a non smoking room. It was very nice to have a garden where it was allowed to smoke.
Quiet location in the centre of Antwerpen, breakfast is ok, clean hotel. a bit expensive but that might be logical for such a room on such a location.
I appriciated the serviceminded and kind staff. The room was clean, which is very important for me. Good breakfast. No free access to internet.
Smiling faces. Extremely pleasant and helpful staff. We had an upgraded room as the hotel was not full. Welcome glass of sherry or port
Big rooms, excellent location Parking was full. We were adviced to go to park along the river, which turned out to be very expensive (38 E for 24 hours). We only found out after picking up the car.

Excellent situation in the heart of the historic centre. Also a very individual hotel totally unlike the usual business chains / brands

location ambiance and room furnishings
The Banks was an excellent little hotel, perfect location, very funky rooms which were even an ok size, nice helpful staff, very nice breakfast included and great value for money. Its new and seems not quite finished yet, but no major construction going on just small things. Very highly recommended, if you want a nice cheap Design Hotel in Antwerp.
The Location, the free dinks buffet during happy hour. Small room and transparent (glass) wall between toilet and sleeping part of the room.
Good breakfast helpful staff. Improvement for the room stated above
The breakfast was nice and the complimentary evening drinks were a nice touch Unfriendly and unhelpful staff. The room felt a bit like staying in a multi storey carpark. There was no ambience
I really like this hotel and would love to give it a rave review. The rooms are very nice, but sterile. A simple fresh flower would help. The hotel lacks the perfect balance between what it wants to be and what it actually is. They have a night entrance and no evening personnel. I felt a bit uneasy with this. The air conditioning unit started leaking water in the middle of the night. Sadly, it is a very impersonal experience. I feel it is priced a bit too high considering the lack of amenities and services.
The staff was helpful and eager to please. The room was clean with a good view of the city. The hotel rooms has no television or internet access. It was a little too modern for my tastes. The price of a 'suite' seemed too much considering the room.
The Banks Hotel is well-situated in the city center, particularly for those in town for a fashion industry related trip. Also, there is a coffee/tea machine in the lobby that is self-serve for guests, and a complimentary happy hour + tapas from 16h30-20h30. The hotel lobby closes at 20h30 and from that point forward, guests have to enter through a side door by swiping a badge-- it works fine, but is not the most hospitable move for a hotel of its stature. The rooms have an industrial aesthetic which is appealing, though the lack of color makes it feel a bit 'cold.'
Good location in central antwerp, but quiet. Good parking nearby. Had stayed at the hotel for some business trips in the past with postive experience. Decided to stay on family weekend, however would not reccomend this hotel for family! Was made to feel quite unwelcome by the staff, the room is far too small for a cot, (we are unable to move) and the terms for costs relating to the hotel providing a cot were not at all clear and the hotel was completely un flexible around this. Also we paid extra for a top floor room. Website gave impression that this was giving some advatange, but there was absolutely none - Do not book this option. Overall dissapointed.

they could have done more with the rooms. Concrete floors and ceilings are not very appealing to me. Also you should not save money on beds. They could have been better quality so as the sheets; We paid 135 euro a night so you would expect better quality.
The Location, the free dinks buffet during happy hour. Small room and transparent (glass) wall between toilet and sleeping part of the room.
The hotel is need and very modern--clean, comfortable bed. Flowing coffee. Close to the center of Antwerp. No telephone service in room! I did got my receipt when I left early on Sunday, Sept 14 because no one was manning reception early. But I already paid my bill upon check-in.
The reception staff were very very helpful, it was quiet but central location, nice design of classic building, would stay there again. Breakfast, the scrambled eggs and bacon/sausage was cold, but the breakfast lady said that it was warm. not good.
Location was great, but it was not a boutique hotel and the staff welcome was average. No atmosphere, poor value for money.
The location was very convenient. The room was very old and the window was a bit difficult to close
The excellent location in the centre of the city The room was fairly small and crowded with furniture.
it was personalised. It was attractive and the rooms appeared to be very individula the breakfast was poor. No pot of coffee merely a machine with small cups. Noone to help with luggage. Shower in bathroom was cramped and bath was small
Second time at this hotel in Antwerp. It's an independent hotel that caters for guests who want something different. Lovely building and the decor plays on a classical style. Most importantly very clean room with little noise as its set off from the main road. Relaxed crowd typical of Antwerp, which is a positive.
Our Junior Suite was spacious, with a huge and comfortable double bed, 2-seat sofa plus armchair. The room also had an Internet corner, safe, minibar, trouser-press, small TV with dvd player, and a good bathroom with plenty of towels, bathrobes, and soaps/gels etc. The breakfast was excellent, with a coffee machine available 24 hours.The hotel is quietly situated on the corner of 2 small streets, yet just a 5-minute stroll to the Grote Markt, shops and dozens of restaurants. It would be difficult to imagine a better place to stay for a city break to Antwerp.
Location and a very quiet room 24 hour tea and coffee in reception; reception staff helpful although they did mislead us over the Brussels railway stations for Eurostar (It is midi/Zuid not Central!) Room was not that great and walls quite dirty; bathroom also old and not feeling clean. Breakfast was poor at 9 am after the other guests had taken most of it; on quieter day it was excellent. Also not easy to get taxis there - didn't bother us as we could walk.
Good location and friendly staff
It is in the centre of one of the best towns in Belgium. Dinner, shopping, museum and river Scheldt are all in walking distance with excellent parking facilities. Hotel was nicely decorated and breathed ambiance.
The hotel was clean and comfortable and very near the city centre Our room overlooked the front and a tram goes past constantly
Ambiance, location, friendly staff Room was a bit noisy
breakfast, hotel design price too high for the service, room to be decorated on the wall
I like the refinement - both in the decor and the attitude of the staff. Nothing.
Very nice rooms, very good location
The location, perfect for the historic centre of Antwerp and the design district. One problem, common to all city centre hotels, is the noise from the street.

Relaxed, friendly, very attentive sevice. Excellent help booking and recommending special restaurants. Lovely to unwind by the intimate open fire with complimentary glass of beer or wine after a long day sightseeing and shopping. Simple but chic accommodation. Great showers. The sophisticated sound system in the room was erratic and the plug in the bathroom basin did not work, but these were small inconveniences.
Good accommondation, Good service
Very nice rooms, very good location
Super location in the middle of the old city. Excellent breakfast served at a neighboring wine restaurant. You are within minutes from all the great sights and excellent in Antwerp. I happened to get the noisy room. My room was close to the reception where everyone passes. But the assured told me that the all other rooms are quiet and next time I should ask for a quiet room.
Location. Restaurants are open late. Room too small. No bath, shower only. Safe did not work. Water kettle turned coffee/tea salty. Too many little annoyances. Poor breakfast. (good scrambled eggs though) . Internet cable too short. Bring your own.
The hotel was in a good location, right near the main square. Hotel is clean and tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Also, they have complimentary tea/coffee/soft drinks in the lobby. It was hard to find. The road that it's located on isn't on many maps because of how small it is.
The staff were really helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Always smiling. With it being a smaller hotel it felt much more personal, and when we arrived the person who checked us in made us feel really wecome. Check in was quick, we were in our room in minutes - which was great after a long journey to get there. Overall our stay in this hotel was a comfortable experience. We had read reviews saying the rooms were too small, however we found ours to be absolutely fine, we had no problems - and we had a fair bit of luggage with us. The ceiling was not as sound proof as we would have liked, we could clearly hear the people above moving around above us. Had they been doing this very late at night or often it would have disturbed our sleep. However the double glazing shut out any noise from the street - which made the room quiet otherwise.
The location was fantastic, the surroundings charming and the host and hostess went out of their way to make our stay memorable.Nothing was too much trouble for them and we had a marvellous time in Antwerp.
The room is so romantic and quiet; you dont hear any noise of the city, while it is situated in the middle of antwerp /
accomodation, friendlyness, close to shopping and historical centre of Antwerp NA
the warmth and welcome of the owner, relaxed comfortable and homely atmosphere, very central.
A historic house, quiet location yet right in the centre of town, large room, large modernised bathroom with all facilities. Not everything was quite ready in the room when I arrived, but it was soon sorted out.
Location. Comfort. Historic building. No
Very welcoming owners. Rooms very well fitted out. Small kitchen area a big plus. And the fresh breakfast basket left outside your door in the morning is just a great idea. Fantastic fresh bread, ham, cheese, and orange juice freshly squeezed to die for. Why anyone would want to give this accomodation a bad review is beyone me - its fab!!
very friendly host, breakfast sublime internet didn't work
The design of the room: modern, complete (with everything fitted in a small space). The bed. The owners: discreet but friendly. The breakfast (even if we didn't have the small cakes shown on the B&B site!). We stay on the second floor room where the door is a glazed one: a curtain or something against the light would be necessary for a good night sleep. The noise was terrible until 4 am as the B&B is located on a place with bars. It seems that it is not the case all the time: but anyway better avoid the hotel in Summer when the terraces are all opened! As consequence we didn't sleep well (but the owners had the same problems & the man was very sorry in the morning!).
Friendly staff, clean and very nice rooms. Directly located in the centre, everything in walking distance.
The room is very nice and extremely clean, it is truly a pleasure to stay there. Also, the breakfast is really good, in quality and quantity, and very nicely presented. The only thing we did not like, which is not the B&B problem but around, is that the building beside it is under construction, so the work noises start at 9am and sound quite close.
Lovely room, friendly staff, superb breakfast, We only stayed one night as we were travelling to another destination, but almost wanted to cancel the rest of our trip to stay longer at the hotel.
Large room, high ceilings room ventilation
The location is very good and nearby are many nice restaurants. The price I was quoted was not the price I was charged.
location was in heart of the city room was in different location than stated on reservation
Location is excellent and staff friendly. Service limited but in keeping with the price.
Proximity to main tourist areas
The excellent staff. The very friendly lady at the reception gave us all kinds of shopping and restaurant tips and marked them all on a map. Also, the location is great and easy to reach by car.
Lovely room, friendly staff, superb breakfast, We only stayed one night as we were travelling to another destination, but almost wanted to cancel the rest of our trip to stay longer at the hotel.
I was robbed in this hotel at 4:00am on my 2nd morning there. A man woke me knocking at the door with a lie that got him inside my room. He grabbed my wallet, we struggled, he fled. Next day the woman in charge was extremely unsympathetic, & though it's true that I shouldn't have allowed him in my room, you'd like a bit of sympathy under those circumstances. Also, how did he get inside the hotel? And was it pure luck that let him knock on the door of a guest who was old and travelling alone? The circumstances were fishy, though I have no proof of anything dishonest. It's really unattractive. I.e., it's furnished & decorated in bad taste. But the location is good & everything worked that was supposed to. And breakfast was good.
The location is in down town The service is poor: late breakfeast (unconvenient for business travellers), bad isolation between rooms, impolite staff. Don't forget your soap&shampoo because the staff might forget to provide you some everyday. Too expensive for what it is!
Large room, high ceilings room ventilation
The staff were extremely helpful, pleasant and upbeat. The breakfast was excellent and once we deciphered the tourist map we were within easy walking distance of everything we wanted to visit. Consistant hot water for a decent shower was not possible, but for the price and location one can live with the minor inconvenience for a short term stay.
The staff were exceedingly helpful. The location of the hotel is perfect for a city break to Antwerp. The 'open plan' nature of the bathroom and toilet.
hotel ok, location very good, no door in bathroom
The hotel is the same as former hotel Postiljon and has just been rebranded. Rooms and central facilities are well redecorated. Breakfast room and seatings around the nice fire place are stylish. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Warm and cosy atmosphere, because it's not one of those big (chain) hotels. Because the hotel is right opposite the cathedral, we found the loud ringing of the clocks disturbing. Also, the bar(s) just around the corner played loud music during the night. The bedroom and bathroom are only separated by a wall that is not closed till the ceiling (also no door). Might be disturbing to people that want/need privacy while in the bathroom.

About the Book
Exhibition Catalog. The art of darkroom photography and live conversation in a digital social-networking culture.
Black and white, portrait-based silver gelatin photographs serve as documents of time spent with individuals in the artist's life. Appointments with persons photographed were made through contemporary tools of technology, such as cell phone texts and Facebook, to make time to slow down for in-person conversation. The body of work addresses the time it takes to nurture relationships, mirroring the time involved in film and darkroom photography methods of art making. This slower process of film and darkroom photography counters the immediacy of a digital social-networking culture. Intuitive images reflect the experience of the relationship in the moment during the appointment. Live conversation was recorded and abstracted as titles for the images. Friend Me reminds viewers that communication tools of technology do not replace real time spent with people in one's life.

Fact and Fancy
By H. P. Lovecraft
How dull the wretch, whose philosophic mind
Disdains the pleasures of fantastic kind;
Whose prosy thoughts the joys of life exclude,
And wreck the solace of the poet's mood!
Young Zeno, practic'd in the Stoic's art,
Rejects the language of the glowing heart;
Dissolves sweet Nature to a mess of laws;
Condemns th' effect whilst looking for the cause;
Freezes poor Ovid in an ic'd review,
And sneers because his fables are untrue!
In search of Truth the hopeful zealot goes,
But all the sadder turns, the more he knows!
Stay! vandal sophist, whose deep lore would blast
The graceful legends of the story'd past;
Whose tongue in censure flays th' embellish'd page,
And scolds the comforts of a dreary age:
Would'st strip the foliage from the vital bough
Till all men grow as wisely dull as thou?
Happy the man whose fresh, untainted eye
Discerns a Pantheon in the spangled sky;
Finds Sylphs and Dryads in the waving trees,
And spies soft Notus in the southern breeze;
For whom the stream a cheering carol sings,
While reedy music by the fountain rings;
To whom the waves a Nereid tale confide
Till friendly presence fills the rising tide.
Happy is he, who void of learning's woes,
Th' ethereal life of body'd Nature knows:
I scorn the sage that tells me it but seems,
And flout his gravity in sunlit dreams!

Paradigm Wars : Indigenous Peoples' Resistance to GlobalisationPosted by aurora at 22:44, 03 Jul 2010
Jerry Mander :
"No communities of peoples on this Earth have been more negatively impacted by the current global economic system than the world's remaining 350 million indigenous peoples. And no peoples are so strenuously and, lately, successfully resisting these invasions & inroads.
It is the first purpose of this book to describe the nature, breadth & ferocity of the assaults upon native societies that are ongoing today, and the global institutions and corporations that drive them, while desperately seeking access to their own lifeblood - the planet's fast disappearing resource supply.
But it is also our purpose to convey the impressive energy, scale, and clarity of purpose of a global indigenous resistance. It is growing increasingly broad, powerful, well organised and effective in both domestic and international contexts. Indigenous peoples are demanding respect, recognition and codification of the 'prior rights' to live where they have always lived, in the manner they choose, and with control over all decisions about their ancestral lands, and what is on them and in them.
Here is the basic problem : Economic globalisation, and the corporations and bureaucracies that are its driving forces, literally cannot survive without an ever-increasing supply of oil, natural gas, forests, minerals of all kinds, fish, freshwater, and arable lands, among other crucial needs. They also require supportive infrastructures - new roads, pipelines, dams, electricity grids, airports, seaports, etc. - to take the resources from the often pristine places where they are found and carry them across vast terrains and oceans to market.
In fact, the ultimate success of global corporations, and the entire economic model they sponsor and promote, is built upon a highly rickety platform requiring never-ending exponential economic growth, itself dependent upon never-ending resource supply to feed the growth. In the long run, of course, such never-ending growth is impossible on a finite planet. By now we already see a clear, sharp decline in availability of the most basic resources - leading to fierce contention over the remainder, even wars, as in Iraq over oil, and elsewhere on a smaller scale, over water.
Corporate growth and expansion are the primary bases of most short-term corporate profits. They also determine rates of investment and loans, shareholder value, and executive salaries. These factors, which are all intrinsic to the economic model, mandate that the global system continue to feed its ever more needy exploration for the last resources in nature, wherever they may be, to feed into the voracious maw.
Alas, a large percentage of these last resources are found today on lands where native peoples thrive, as they have for millennia. And so we have the roots of serious conflict: invasions, double-dealings and forced removals, cultural & political assaults, and very often, extreme violence, as we will see in these pages. You could call these resource wars. But more precisely they are world-view wars; paradigm wars, actually, deeply based in opposite understandings of how human beings should live on the earth. This book is dedicated to amplifying that main point."
International Forum on Globalization
"My own final comments are directed less to indigenous peoples than to communities of scholars, activists, and journalists who have thus far focused primarily on such issues as the environment, human rights, social justice, and democracy, and to suggest to them that indigenous struggles embody all of these issues. In more ways than one, indigenous issues are the frontier issues of our time. They deal with geographic frontier struggles where the larger, destructive globalisation process attempts to suck up the last living domains on the planet - its life forms, its basic resources, its peoples - in the empty cause of short-term wealth accumulation. And it is also a frontier struggle in conceptual terms: What are the values that can sustain us for the future? What are the worldviews that can keep the earth alive? How are we to live on behalf of coming generations of human beings and the larger community of beings and creatures?
It is increasingly clear to me that indigenous peoples of the earth have the answers to many these questions, if we would listen. Our job is to work to dismantle the institutions that now lead the world in the opposite direction, and to join forces in all efforts to replace those institutions with a hierarchy of values and standards that serve the earth and the communities who simply want to live their lives in peace and stability, in a traditional manner, on their own ancestral lands with control of their livelihoods and resources.
So, my personal plea is that all communities of activists should recognise that their own particular issues will only be benefited if they include the indigenous struggles as part of their own and permit the interests of indigenous peoples to share the front burners of their causes."

DreamspacePosted by aurora at 17:45, 04 Oct 2007
~Extract from Voices of the First Day: Awakening in the Aboriginal Dreamtime by Robert Lawlor :
'Space, in our conventional awareness, is basically felt as distance, the empty interval separating objects. Our notion of space depends on our notion of time, which is necessary to measure distance. Hence most of the words we use to describe space, such as long and short, are also used to describe time.
Aborigines do not perceive space as distance. Space for them is consciousness and like consciousness, space is divided into two modes. The perceptible, tangible entities in space are like the conscious mind, and the invisible space between things corresponds to the unconscious mind. The term unconscious is misleading: the unconscious is always conscious; it is a continuum of dreaming. In Western culture, the presence and activity of the unconscious is obvious only during sleep and dreams. For the Aborigines, the unconscious mind is continous and ever-present, permeating all levels of existence, just as space invisibly fills everything from galaxies to the interior of the the atom. The conscious mind is like the things of this world: appearing and disappearing, alternating between wakefulness and sleep, between life and death.
The visible actuality of a form exists simultaneously with its invisible potential, just as the conscious perception exists simultaneously with the flow of the unconscious. Similarly, the potential of the seed and the actuality of the plant appear to follow one another in sequence, as day follows night. From the perspective of the Dreaming, though, day and night exist simultaneously as the opposite sides of a spinning sphere. The Aborigines refer to the inseparable relationship between the actual and the potential, the conscious and the unconscious, as the light and dark faces of the moon - both are always present. In a similar manner, the genetic code might appear to be evolving in sequence from simple to complex, but the simple, primary cells and patterns are present on earth at the same time as the complex forms, varieties, and combinations. The apparent all-pervasiveness of the sequential pattern results from our elevation of and total reliance on the functions of the conscious mind.
Everything that has a spatial existence results from a relationship between the Dreaming and the perceivable world, between the conscious and unconscious aspects of mind. To the Aborigines, the rainbow symbolises the edge of the unconscious; it is the Dreaming, where the invisible potentials begin to become visible. Birds, who wing their way through empty space, are the messengers of the unconscious, and flashes of lightening are violent discharges of energy from the depths of the unconscious.
To define consciousness as a field of activity with the potential to create unlimited forms, comparisons, analogies, and meanings is to approach the space perception of the Dreamtime. All spatial relationships in the Dreamtime are primarily symbolic. Meaning and information are not transported across distances and time, they are an integral part of consciousness expressing itself as spatial order and arrangement. For this reason, if an Aboriginal child inadvertently kicks a stone or twig, he or she is instructed by the tribal elder to replace it exactly how it was. To the Aborigines, the spatial landscape is a perfect symbolic description of the psychic content of humans and of the ancestral forces that created the world. To disturb the earth in any way is to obscure the meaning and history of humanity & reality. Knowledge is shared through resonance in space and time. Meaning, not space and time, connects all things.
The logic of space is the logic of a dream. An Aboriginal woman recently interviewed on television said, "With your vision you see me sitting on a rock, but I am sitting on the body of my ancestor. The earth, his body and my body are identical." The logic of dreams does not prevent our being from flowing into the being of other creatures, so that we live in their form and in their awareness. In dreams, other creatures enter and inhabit us. Every character in a dream is fabricated from the stuff of consciousness. In dreams, subject and object interpenetrate.
There is no external space separate from the internal. There are no objects or events - be they stars, spaceships, or molecules - separate from the feelings, desires, projections, activities, and images of consciousness. All are children born from the relationship between the conscious and the unconscious. Once we have been deluded by imbalanced modes of perception or misconstructed language into believing that space is separate from consciousness and time is other than the rhythmic swing between the subjective and the objective, then we have lost sight of the reality of creation.
The phenomenal world is considered the dream of the ancestral beings. Neither the dream nor the phenomenal world is considered an illusion; rather, together they constitute reality. Toward the end of his life, the visionary biologist Gregory Bateson intuited the existence of the Dreamtime :
"The individual mind is imminent but not only in the body. It is imminent also in pathways and messages outside the body, and there is a larger mind of which the individual mind is only a sub-system. This larger mind is comparable to god and is perhaps what some people mean by god, but it is still imminent in the total interconnected social systems and planetary ecology."
At this juncture in human history, it is imperative that we recover a sense of the deep logic that underlies the Aboriginal language, rituals, and way of life.'

The Texas Rangers are mourning the death of Shannon Stone who tried to catch a baseball thrown at him and fell over the railing in the attempt.
The second mishap in a major baseball this season happened on Thursday, July 7 night when Texas Rangers played against Oakland Athletics. A 39-year-old fan who attended the game fell to his death when trying to catch a baseball thrown at him by reigning American League Most Valuable Player Josh Hamilton.
Shannon Stone, a firefighter from Brownwood, Texas came to the game with his young son who tragically saw his father fell over the railing in front of him. Another fan Ronnie Hargis who sat next to Stone tried to catch him by foot but failed. "He went straight down," Hargis recalled. "I tried to grab him, but I couldn't. I tried to slow him down a little bit."
Stone fell 14 feet high behind the score display. He was conscious when being brought on a stretcher into an ambulance but he died of his injuries on the way to the hospital. He was pronounced dead at 8:20 P.M. after reportedly going into "full [cardiac] arrest."
Hamilton who threw the ball "is very distraught over this, as the entire team is," team president Nolan Ryan said in a statement. "We had a very tragic accident tonight, and one of our fans lost their life reaching over the rail trying to get a ball. As an organization, and as our team members and our staff, we're very heavy-hearted about this, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family."

Aim: Create a component for accessible image editing with HTML5 Canvas and Infusion.
This project would aim at creation of a fluid infusion component using open web technologies, especially HTML5 Canvas. The goal for this component is to provide familiar image processing features such as cropping, resizing, and tagging, all within a standard web page. The future aims would be to add other, more complex image processing algorithms. The component will support accessibility features such as use of the keyboard instead of the mouse.
To have a detailed description of what functions the image editor performs, and a description about the workflow of the functions, have a look at the design thoughts on image editor. The design draft provides wire-frames of what the component would look like.
A tentative timeline for the project is as follows:
April 25 - May 23, 2011: Community Bonding period (Study and Prepare myself for the job)
Read the documentation about Fluid Infusion and try to get familiar with HTML5 canvas element.
May 24 - June 7, 2011:
Implement the interface needed to implement functionalities for cropping, resizing and tagging.
June 8 - June 20, 2011:
Implement the algorithm for cropping and resizing. Develop support for tagging of images.
June 21 – June 30, 2011:
Develop unit tests for the current work. Prepare documentation for the algorithms. Prepare documents required for mid term evaluations.
July 1 - July 20, 2011:

John McGivern Adds Depth to 'American Fiesta'
Theater Review
The play by Steven Tomlinson is about Fiesta ware, that colorful,
mix-and-match dishware so loved by Depression-era housewives. A fascinating
story about Fiesta ware's creation is revealed in the course of the play, along
with myriads of other "Fiesta factoids."
Although McGivern creates about 20 characters during the play's 90
minutes, the main one is a 50-ish gay man named Steven (gee, is this perfect
casting, or what?). McGivern mainly is known for his one-man autobiographical
shows about growing up in Milwaukee.
He spends a lot of time reflecting about relationships and community, themes
that also surface in American Fiesta.
Steven, from rural Oklahoma,
begins collecting Fiesta ware as a diversion during a particularly stressful
time in his life. He tries to find "perfection" in the vintage dishes when his
"imperfect" parents are not about to accept his same-sex union. When Steven's
parents refuse to travel to Vancouver,
British Columbia, to witness the
wedding ceremony, the pain is easily registered in Steven's face.
The play has an interesting history of its own. The Oklahoma-born
playwright was commissioned to write the piece by a noted theater company in Austin, Texas.
In 2007, it won a prestigious national award for new playwrights and even had a
brief, Off-Broadway run in New York.
Playwright Tomlinson typically is the one who performs the piece in productions
staged across the country. According to Renaissance insiders, Tomlinson plans
to appear in Milwaukee
in May to see McGivern's performance. For Tomlinson, it will be a rare chance
to sit in the audience and observe his own work.
It is not surprising that a play written by someone with a Ph.D. in
economics from Stanford
University would be a bit
cerebral. Thankfully, Tomlinson only shows this side of him briefly. One
hilarious scene compares the original Fiesta ware colors to the color-coded
levels established by Homeland Security.
McGivern is able to make audiences feel as though they are among
McGivern's friends and neighbors. This quality boosts American Fiesta to a higher level for Milwaukee audiences. Perfection, as Steven
learns during the play, lies in the eye of the beholder.
Renaissance Theaterworks' American Fiesta continues at the Broadway Theatre Center through May 23.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Composer/Lyricist Chad Beguelin on New ALADDIN Musical!
All eyes are on the whole new musical Aladdin running at 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle from July 7 to July 31, directed by Tony-award winning Casey Nicholaw and we got an exclusive interview with Chad Beguelin, composer and lyricist of the new songs for the show and book-writer. Check it out!
What's the key to bringing a movie to the stage?
I think the key to adapting a beloved movie like Aladdin is to keep the elements that are iconic to the film. We want to stay true to the spirit of the movie, but also expand the story and make it work as a stage experience.
When Howard Ashman and Alan Menken first began to work on Aladdin, they wanted it to have the feel of an old Bing Crosby/Bob Hope "Road to Morocco" movie. Some of that was lost in the film version and we're trying to bring that influence back. It is a style that works very well for musical comedy.
What can you tell us about the changes in Aladdin's characters, now for the musical?
There were three characters that were cut from the film. They were Aladdin's friends Babkak, Omar and Kassim. Together with Aladdin they form a street band and try to raise money by performing on the streets of Agrabah. We've added these characters back in, along with several songs that were cut from the film.
How many new songs will there be in Aladdin?
We've added several songs that were written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman that were cut from the film. They include, "Proud of Your Boy," "Call Me a Princess," "Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim" and "High Adventure." In addition, I've written three new songs with Alan Menken. They are "A Million Miles Away," "Somebody's Got Your Back," and "A Royal Wedding."
Every Disney and musical fan expects Friend Like Me and Prince Ali to be showstoppers. What will they look like?
Director/Choreographer Casey Nicholaw is doing an amazing job staging the numbers. I don't want to give too much away, but he definitely has a few surprises up his sleeve.
Tell us about your how you collaborated with Alan Menken.
Alan has been wonderful to work with. At first I was definitely a little intimidated, but Alan is so warm and generous that my nerves instantly went away. He is also very protective of Howard Ashman's work and I am a massive fan of Howard Ashman, so we immediately saw eye to eye.
Part of Alan's goal was to introduce new generations to the amazing work Howard did on Aladdin. It's thrilling to know that these truly brilliant lost songs will live again.
Will the musical eventually come to Broawday?
The goal right now is to create a version of the script for Disney's theater licensing catalog.
Were you a Disney fan when you were a child?
Disney was a huge part of my childhood. I had a huge two-album set of Disney songs that I listened to constantly. It was definitely the soundtrack of my youth!
Thank you very much, Chad!
Thanks to you, guys!
Aladdin plays July 7-July 31 (press opening July 21) at The 5th Avenue Theatre (1308 5th Avenue, Seattle.) For tickets and information, the public may visit www.5thavenue.org, or call the box office at (206) 625-1900. Tickets may also be purchased at 888-5TH-4TIX (584-4849).

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Dear slevin,
Greetings and welcome to justanswer,
How long are you having dizziness?
do you take any drugs?
is the dizziness present all the time?
did you consult a doctor yet?
How long are you having dizziness? For approximately 2 weeks
do you take any drugs? Requip, Cymbalta, Wellbutrin (all for Parkinson's Disease) Rexara and Vesicare
is the dizziness present all the time? No, but worse when I first wake up in the morning.
did you consult a doctor yet? No, seeing my doctor today.
is the dizziness present all the time? No, but worse when I first wake up in the morning.
did you consult a doctor yet? No, seeing my doctor today.
Thank you for the information,
There are some common causes of such dizziness.The common ones are middle ear inflammation, meniere's disease, migraine related vertigo, acoustic neuroma, orthostatic hypotension, inner ear disorder, certain drugs, anxiety, etc.
As per the symptoms described by you, the chances of dizziness may be due to the side effect of the drug cymbalta and wellbutrin ,etc which you are taking.These drugs acting on CNS may cause dizziness on long term use.The change in drugs may be required if the symptoms are severe.
The other possibility could be the orthostatic hypotension which may also cause such dizziness.The decreased blood supply may cause such symptoms in you.
You should have the relevant investigations done like ct scan brain, blood sugar, blood counts, blood pressure monitroing, 2d echo of heart after consulting your doctor if your symptoms are severe.
Here is the link for more information
side effect of wellbutrin
side effect of cymbalta
causes and treatment of dizziness
Let me know if you have any doubt.
Thank you!
The lack of sleep may cause dizziness as well apart from the other causes mentioned above.

The PALS shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label.

Trend Alert: The Bold and Beautiful
For Fall 2014, it's going to be bold and bright with a graffiti effect, metallic bite, and proud emblazoned logos.
A little more grunge than girly? Fall's in-your-face graphic tops are hardcore enough to hang with the boys, even if you paid a pretty penny to own them. Suit up with this streetwear-chic trend that you can wear from weekday to the weekend.
1. Jeremy Scott: The Crazy Graffiti Shirt
Streetwear has been taken to another level with this cartoonish shirt. Confused on how to wear it? Rock it with some skinny jeans and ankle boots.
2. MBMJ (formerly known as Marc by Marc Jacobs): The Cool Girl Logo Dress
The braids might be a little much, but this dress is bad-ass cool with a throwback red script and a silver sheen. We'd pair this with an oversized denim vest and sneaks.
3. Brian Lichtenberg: The Chic Parody Sweatshirt
According to Lichtenberg, he's all about "Bria-fying" brands he admires, like his conversion of the Hermés logo onto his famed streetwear "Homiés" shirt. For Fall 2014, Lichtenberg has taken his parody logos to another level—inspired by motocross, he stamped his Homiés vocab on a white Honda-inspired sweatshirt. We'd be happy to ride in this object of desire any day.
4. Jonathan Simkhai: The Understated Label Shirt
Simple and structured with a little bit of asymmetrical edge, this shirt is your answer to wearing a logo-appropriate top to work without veering into the too-loud land of logo-mania.


text: Once Delcath resubmits its chemosaturation system for FDA approval, the agency will first decide if the bolstered application is acceptable for review, then regulators will begin the process of formally weighing the efficacy and safety data in order to make an approval decision. A September resubmission could lead to a March 2012 FDA approval decision.ø Data from the phase III study were presented last June at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting. In that study, 61% of patients treated with melphalan via the chemosaturation system reported moderate to severe neutropenia, a condition of abnormally low white blood cells that can lead to serious infections. Another 74% of Delcath-treated patients in the phase III study reported moderate to severe thrombocytopenia, or an abnormally low level of platelets that can result in bleeding. The mortality rate in the phase III study attributed to treatment with Delcath's system was 7.5%. Two patients died due to neutropenic sepsis while a third patient died from liver failure, according to the ASCO data presentation. When these safety data were presented last June, concerns were raised that perhaps the high dosages of melphalan used were leaking out of the liver and causing severe side effects and toxicity in patients. Hobbs disputes that concern, insisting Tuesday that the safety profile of melphalan as used in the chemosaturation procedure is "identical" to the safety of melphalan already approved today. Delcath conducted the phase III study of the chemosaturation system under a Special Protocol Agreement with the FDA. Regulators have not questioned or challenged the conduct of the study, Hobbs said. Melanoma patients with cancer in the liver treated with Delcath's system went a median of 245 days without progression of those liver tumors compared to 49 days without progression for patients treated with best alternative care. Those data satisfied the study's primary endpoint with statistical significance but a key secondary endpoint of the study -- an improvement in overall survival -- was not met. The lack of a survival benefit demonstrated by Delcath's chemosaturation system was a point of criticism by a researcher who critiqued the phase III data at last June's ASCO meeting. --Written by Adam Feuerstein in Boston. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Adam Feuerstein. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/adamfeuerstein. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Set 261 to win, the home side slumped to 215 all out.
Top scorer was Chaminurwa Chibhabha, who contributed 57, while Vusi Sibanda made 46, but their partnership of 72 from 132 balls was made at a painfully slow rate and put the home side well behind the required rate.
Chibhabha made his runs off 116 deliveries, fewer than a run every two balls; Sibanda needed 80 Sunday.
To make matters worse, the duo failed to find the boundary in almost 28 overs.
Hopes were raised with eight overs left when Elton Chigumbura went into bat, with Zimbabwe needing well over 10 an over.
He hit the Bangladeshi attack for four sixes but was bowled for 47 after facing just 26 balls.
It was captain Habibul Bashar who set up the Bangladesh innings in the first place with 78 off 87 balls and by Aftab al Hasan with 68.
They put on 105 for the fourth wicket, enabling Bangladesh to post a good score and as it turned out the foundation for victory.

In 1980 Doris Christopher, a former home economist and teacher, was itching to get back into the workforce after an eight-year hiatus as a stay-at-home mom. Drawing on her personal and professional expertise, and determined to make cooking easier and more convenient for families, she started selling high-quality kitchen tools through cooking demonstrations to groups of women in their homes. Today, the company she started in her basement, The Pampered Chef, is celebrating its 25th anniversary and has grown into a corporation with tens of thousands of independent kitchen consultants. Now owned by Berkshire Hathaway, The Pampered Chef's Kitchen Consultants present more than a million Kitchen Shows a year, attended by more than 12 million people.The Pampered Chef is the story of the vision, energy, hard work, and chutzpah that drove Christopher and her company to the height of success. She describes her early days as a "one-woman show", chronicles the company's gradual expansion, its challenges and growing popularity; and in the process offers invaluable advice and sound strategies on how to found and grow a business.

text: Born and raised in Cali, Colombia, Mono spent most of his teenage years in "Chango", a famous club neighboring his hometown. Inevitably, his philosophies in music and life have been strongly influenced by the club itself. Chango rarely ever closed its gates throughout the week as various parties seemed to blend into one continuous party, with the crowd dancing for hours upon hours, always wanting more and more. Mono takes those experiences from his youth and translates it to the decks each and every time he plays out for a gig; his music and track selection is widely noted to be the kind that makes party-goers dance continuously for hours on end. His zest and for life, the realities of the country he left behind are part of the imprints that he tries to leave on each set he plays. Whethe..Mono Henao's biography Mono Henao Musician

NEW YORK (Jul. 26)
Nicholas Scoppetta, the city's Commissioner of Investigation, who recently returned from a trip to the Soviet Union, said today that he found that despite Soviet assertions to the contrary, certain Jewish scientists and others who wish to emigrate have been subjected to loss of jobs, police surveillance and harassment, and even imprisonment for minor infractions.
At a City Hall news conference, Scoppetta cited the cases of Dr. David Asbell of Moscow, a chemical engineering professor and Dr. Boris Rubinstein of Leningrad, a physicist, who were among the Jewish intellectuals he met with while in the Soviet Union. He said that both academicians lost their university positions immediately after filing applications to emigrate to Israel, apparently in retaliation for doing so.
Scoppetta, who has submitted a report on his trip to Mayor John V. Lindsay, was joined at the news conference by Manhattan attorney David A. Goldstein, his former colleague in the Manhattan District Attorney's office, who accompanied him on the two-week tour, from June 22 to July 4, and Stanley H. Lowell, chairman, and other officials of the Greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry.
Lowell observed that Scoppetta's report on his meetings with Soviet officials reflects the "total inconsistency of 'official' explanations for denying Soviet Jews the right to live as Jews in the Soviet Union or to emigrate to fulfill themselves as Jews elsewhere….The first-hand witness of Mr. Scoppetta and Mr. Goldstein, underscores reports we have received from Jews in the Soviet Union that the situation has not changed, despite Mr. Brezhnev's claims to the contrary."
Scoppetta said a number of government officials asserted that the issue with regard to the emigration of Soviet Jews is one created and perpetuated by anti-Soviet pro-Zionist interests who wished to bring back the Cold War era. "They denied that any emigration problem existed at all." Scoppetta said, "all of the Jews we spoke to said they looked to America as their principal hope in being able to modify Soviet policies towards emigration."
A 39-year-old Jewish woman physician from Kazakhstan in the Soviet Union has committed suicide after she was dismissed from her job at a local hospital, according to reports reaching Tel Aviv. The woman, who had not requested to go to Israel, left a letter saying she could not bear the shame of being dismissed. She was dismissed together with three other Jewish physicians. Dr. Gabriel Belitzeh, chief surgeon of the hospital, Dr. Cogan and Dr. Lieberman, none of whom had asked for exit visas. The dismissals were seen as a symptom of the anti-Semitism that has been sweeping the Kazakhstan region.

Bode Miller crashes, cuts leg in World Championships super-G
United States skier Bode Miller crashed during the world championships super-G event on Thursday in Beaver Creek, Colo., and suffered a deep cut on his right leg.
The 37-year-old was ahead of the leader's pace when his hand got stuck in a gate. He was flipped down the mountain and cut his right calf.
He was able to ski down the mountain after the fall and waved to the crowd at the bottom of the hill.
The graphic image of the cut on Miller's leg can be seen here.
The event marked Miller's first race since he had back surgery in November. Miller has won six Olympic medals and has been a member of the last five United States Winter Olympic teams.

Reducing Credit Card Processing Costs
Tips on how to lower your credit card processing costs and fees
Understanding processing costs and fees
When you start accepting credit cards in your business, you'll pay fees for everything from setup and application to processing and customer service. But no two providers charge the same. One vendor may advertise a low rate but charge more for service items. Another may charge for setup and administration but waive their fees on other services. That's why it's so important to find the right merchant service provider for your business.
As you look for a provider, remember
1. Don't be fooled by low pricing. A rock-bottom rate isn't worth unreliable service.
2. Choosing an integrated payment solution can save you time and money by reducing duplicate data entry and errors.
3. Understand all the fees involved and read the fine print before signing any vendor contract or application.
4. Learn about the different types of processing rates and find out whether the provider charges for terminating your contract.
5. Choose a provider that will work with you to help grow your business.
By learning how to reduce your processing costs, you can get more out of credit card processing without breaking the bank. (For those trying to understand what credit card processing is all about, read this page).
Set up the right merchant account
The first step in accepting credit card payments is to set up your merchant account. To get the best rates and service, choose the account type that's most appropriate for your type and volume of business. Each account type has its own rate and qualification requirements.
Before you select an account, do your research. Asking the right questions about costs today can save you time and money later. For example, some providers charge a non-refundable application fee. Look for a provider that doesn't charge this fee, or ask if it can be waived.
While you're comparison shopping, ask providers:
1. What are your non-qualified rates? (These may or may not be published).
2. What are your monthly fees?
3. What are your monthly minimums?
4. Are there any contracts or cancellation fees?
The biggest upfront costs are setup, equipment, and software. A variety of terminals are available and range in price depending on their printing and connection functionality.
1. Don't pay extra for terminal functions you'll never use.
2. Use processing software instead of a terminal if all your business is done online and over the phone.
3. Ask your provider if it can reprogram your existing terminal.
4. Be cautious about leasing a terminal to lower your monthly costs. High cancellation fees and long-term contracts will likely cost you more in the long run.
Credit Card Processing Rates and Fees
Most of your costs will be transaction processing fees. Your rate per transaction is determined by your personal and business risk, percentage of card-absent sales, average dollar amount per sale, and total dollar amount of monthly sales. Lowering your transaction risk will also lower the rate you pay.
To get the best rate for the way you conduct business, be sure you understand the rates and qualifications around each type of sale.
Qualified rate is the percentage rate that's charged whenever you accept and process a regular card using an approved processing solution. This is usually the lowest rate you can receive, and it's often what you'll be quoted when you inquire about rates.
Mid-qualified rate is the percentage rate that's charged if you accept and process a card that doesn't qualify for the lowest rate. This may happen when you manually key a card into a terminal instead of swiping it, or if a rewards or business card is being used.
Non-qualified rate is the percentage rate that's charged whenever you accept and process a card that doesn't qualify for either qualified or mid-qualified rates. This may happen when a card is manually keyed into a terminal versus being swiped, address verification isn't performed, information is missing, or the authorization is not settled within the allotted time frame (usually 48 hours).
A rate increase, otherwise known as a downgrade, occurs when your transactions don't meet the requirements for the lowest or qualified rate. To mitigate the number of downgrades you receive, make sure your transactions meet the qualification requirements to get you the lowest rate available for every transaction. Train your staff to do the same. Secondly, train closing and opening staff on how to audit transactions totals for errors and close out daily credit card transactions at the end of each day.
Batching means settling the charges to your terminal by sending the completed transactions for the day to the acquiring bank for payment. To make sure you get the best possible rate on all your daily transactions, you must "batch out" within 24 hours. If you don't, you may raise the risk of dispute and cause your transactions to be downgraded. Remember that dial-up connections are prone to dropped lines and duplicate charges.
The interchange fee is a percentage of the transaction and helps to cover authorization costs, fraud, and credit losses. Most merchant service providers include the interchange fee in their bundled rate, which makes it more difficult to identify specific rates. Ask your provider if you can pay the interchange fee as it is incurred. This will prevent you from paying more than you need to and help you keep better track of your transaction costs.
A chargeback occurs when the cardholder disputes a transaction and it's returned to the acquiring bank. If you don't respond promptly to a chargeback inquiry, you may have to pay a timeliness fee or lose the entire sale. Be sure to ask your prospective provider how it deals with chargebacks and what costs are involved.
Not all cards are created equal
Certain credit cards cost more to process than others. It's up to you to choose what works best for your business. To help offset the cost of processing more expensive card types, make sure your transactions meet as many of the qualifying requirements as possible.
Debit cards have grown in popularity. They often serve as both a check and a debit card. Deciding whether to process a charge as online or offline can make a difference in your rates. Please keep in mind the following:
1. Online transactions get processed through the credit card interchange and are charged at an online (non-qualified) rate.
2. Offline transactions get processed through the debit network and are charged a flat per-transaction fee.
3. Reduce your costs by processing low-cost items at the offline rate and larger items at the online rate.
Service without the cost
Be wary of merchant service providers that charge you a fee for contacting customer service. If your system isn't working, you should be able to get help without paying extra for it. This is different from providers that charge for premium services. Other items for which you may be charged include printed account statements, account updates, monthly minimums or maximums, and service cancellations.
Other operational fees
Many operational fees are bundled or "hidden" within other charges. Most of these charges are a part of your transactions. They simply reflect the cost of doing business.
1. Communications fees cover the Internet costs of moving the transaction from the merchant to the processor. Dial-up transmission costs more to cover the processor's maintenance of toll-free phone circuits and modems.
2. Address and voice authorization verifications reduce your fraud risk and can help you avoid a rate downgrade.
It's all in the details
There's no avoiding it: if you accept credit and debit cards, you'll have to pay fees. Your best defense against hidden costs and unnecessary downgrades is to keep accurate records of your processing costs. Audit your records regularly to build your own benchmarks and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of your business rules and practices. Based on this data, you can continue to optimize the way you do business. Just remember that accepting credit cards should help—not hurt—your bottom line.
