Avatar World Premiere Report
Weaver and Cameron on the blue carpet
Let it be said that James Cameron, self-proclaimed King of the World (and now, of Pandora) cannot be captured on film. Well, either that, or Empire's phone camera is terrible, or the guest attempting to use it on our behalf committed some terrible fail, because there we were, readers, on the big, blue carpet at the world premiere of Avatar at London's Odeon Leicester Square, with James Cameron's hand on our shoulders, being snapped for posterity and/or the newsletter and – nothing. No pic. We vote witchcraft. And an upgrade as soon as possible.
Phone fails aside, all was on spectacular form tonight for what is arguably the most-anticipated film of the year (and rightly so - see our review). James Cameron's return to the blockbuster, the sci-fi epic set on the world of Pandora with the Na'vi race, was feted with Avatar posters sprawling all round the square surrounded by that vast Na'vi-blue carpet, with James Horner's score blaring out from every speaker.
Horner himself, resplendent of earring, said his and Cameron's "symbiotic" relationship, honed on 1997's Titanic helped work on Avatar: "It was the longest project I've ever been on, so he and I have developed a really tight working relationship. I was astounded, and that was just raw footage. When we started seeing finished effects I think we were all startled by just what was coming in. It caused Jim to even re-edit the film in places because the effects were just so stunning, beyond his expectations."
These effects are perfectly showcased by Star Trek maven Zoe Saldana, who was glowing about both her role as Na'vi Neytiri, and the amount of detail that went into bringing her character to life: "Every avatar, Na'vi, their skin texture is the texture of the actor that did that character. I couldn't believe it when I saw my scars and everything, I was like 'Oh my God'!"
Steven Lang – aka Col. Quaritch – said his character's moodier traits were nearly too convincing for Cameron, but that while that was acting, his impressive muscles had nothing to do with CG: "Cameron said to me: 'You know, Slang, you get into this role way too easily!'. I trained for sure. I can say there's a lot of computer enhancement on this film, but not on me! I swear to God, it's all me."
Laz Alonso, who plays Na'vi prince Tsu'tey was more impressed with the movie than how he ended up looking, as one of the cast's 100% blued-up members: "I just saw the film last Friday and one thing that surprised me is that 20 minutes into the film you're not watching blue people, you're watching people, a struggle, emotion and you're connecting with it. You get so immersed in the story that the humans start looking like the aliens, not the blue people."
And Joel David Moore, aka anthropologist Norm Spellman, said turning blue was a blast: "We had to do a lot of it in a motion caption suit which is basically a wetsuit type of thing with a bunch of balls all around and a helmet and we would kind of look like drunk bicyclists, or triathletes maybe. But it was such an adventure the whole time. It really lets you get back to the acting. You don't have to worry if your lighting's right or if they can see the zit. Having James Cameron as the captain of your ship, you just sit back and relax because you know things are going to go well."
Jim Cameron's leading lady through the last 25 years, Sigourney Weaver, taking a slight back seat to Saldana's lead here as Dr Grace Augustine, said that the 3D was just a part of Avatar's larger picture.
"Jim kept saying to us there are a lot of special effects, it's a big movie but it's all about the characters. It's all about the emotional story so we never felt overwhelmed."
And partly helped by Grace's funny lines, too. Delicately alluding to her director's infamous temper, Weaver said: "Jim is actually a very witty guy and sometimes you don't see that in these pressured situations, but Grace is very funny in a very dry way and she's got a lot of conflicted feelings in what she does and what she's working for so I think it was great. Also with Sam (Worthington), he's very funny and their relationship just popped with all this banter."
And what of James Cameron? Well, the King of the World is keen to push ever upwards. "Every film is a snap shot of its time and what I can say is every film we made we're pushing the envelope in its time. I hope that's still true 20 years from now."
As for jumping back into the pit of movie critics after so long away from the big screen, he said: "It's interesting to see someone coherently express what they thought about their movie. It can be sometimes a frustrating process where you say, 'What? You got that from it? What are you smoking?!'"
You can read exactly what Empire was smoking and what star rating and review resulted from that in our Avatar review here. For now, this is us signing off from Pandora's own avatar at the Odeon Leicester Square.
Avatar is out on 17 December.

Countdown to the 2012 WSOP: Big One for OneDrop
There is a lot of talk regarding this tournament, with players and poker fans wanting to know all of the details, as well as speculating on the overall field-size, future of the tournament, and what this tournament may do to poker going forward.
How many players will enter?
The number on everybody's mind (besides the prize-pool and the unprecedented amount of cash the winner will walk away with) is how many people will enter the tournament? Well as it now stands there is close to 40 confirmed participants in the event:
1. Guy Laliberté
2. Phil Ruffin
3. Andy Beal
4. Montreal private citizen group (Sean O'Donnell)
5. Cary Katz
6. Paul Newey
7. Richard Yong
8. Erik Seidel
9. Anonymous – U.S. venture capitalist
10. Anonymous – European hedge fund manager
11. Anonymous – U.S. hedge fund manager
12. Anonymous – French businessman
13. Caesars Entertainment seat
14. Caesars Entertainment via June 30 $25,300 satellite at Rio
15. MGM Mirage satellite seat
16. Bobby Baldwin
17. Patrik Antonius
18. Gus Hansen
19. Daniel Negreanu
20. Johnny Chan
21. Tom Dwan
22. Tony Guoga
23. Jonathan Duhamel
24. Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier
25. Daniel Shak
26. Justin Smith
27. Bob Bright
28. Arnaud Mimran
29. Paul Phua
30. Andrew Robl
31. Sam Trickett
32. Carlos Nahas (Grand Tournoi de Poker Loto-Quebec satellite winner)
33. Jens Kyllonen
34. Phil Hellmuth (80% likely)
With this many players already known it seems reasonable to believe the event will come near or reach the 48-player cap set.
Will this be a recurring event at the WSOP?
The WSOP hasn't ruled out any possibility when it comes to the $1,000,000 One Drop tournament being played at future WSOP's. Anything from a yearly, to a bi-yearly, to every four years has been kicked around, but in the end they want to wait and see how the inaugural event goes before making any long-term commitments.
My guess is that after the WSOP the people whose opinions matter will sit down and decide to make the One Drop event (or something similar) a once every four or five years occurrence. Although I fully expect to see a $100k event added to the WSOP schedule next year.
What kind of exposure will the winner receive?
The question I'm curious about is whether or not the winner of the One Drop tournament overshadows the Main Event? With the richest prize in poker history expected to be handed out to the One Drop winner, coupled with the remarkable bu0-in and the charity aspect of the event, it's a real possibility that the 2012 WSOP Main Event winner gets overshadowed.

Curious as to viewing the event. Will there be "friends and family" type seating available? Anything special for the 3 different days?
Please advise…..

I posted about this idea over at my new crafty Facebook page and have been itching to try it out.
It was much, much, much more successful than I imagined.
Usually when I mix colors, they all sort of blend together and create a brownish sludge.
Mmmm. Here's your brownish sludge pasta. Enjoy!
But the instructions were easy to follow and with a little on-the-spot tinkering, I think the dish turned out surprisingly well. Emme was ecstatic and demanded we save some leftovers for her school lunch.
You can find a detailed how-to through the crafty Facebook site, but here are some tips I figured out along the way.
Rinse. A LOT.
The instructions say to boil the pasta and then cool it down with cold water to stop the cooking. Make sure it's cold before you move the pasta, in batches, to the plastic bags filled with food dye. (Probably best if you read the DIY first. I'm assuming you did.) Let the pasta sit in the dye for at least a minute; two is even better. Emme loved mixing it around.
Once colored, return each batch to the strainer and rinse like crazy, especially if you're using a pasta with ruffles and creases, such as the farfalle. Spaghetti or something straighter might not need so much.
The instructions say to return all colored pasta batches, once rinsed again, to the same big pot for mixing. I recommend instead putting each batch in its own bowl, so that any excess colored water runoff doesn't mix with other runoff and create a big brown sludge.
Again, mmmmmm.
When you're ready for serving, you can add pasta from each bowl into your serving bowl and then microwave to warm up. This worked wonders to keep all the colors separate and vibrant until ready to eat. Even in the serving dish, the colors stayed perfect.
We just ate with butter and freshly grated cheese because we didn't the sauce to taint the whole rainbowness of it all. I've definitely had more delicious pasta in my life, but this was the most colorful by far. Yes, yes, you can make an argument that dyed food probably isn't the best thing in the world, but it's not like it's an everyday thing, and stop being so goddamn judgmentalish anyway. Enjoy life. It's more fun that way.

This morning's blog by YouGov's Anthony Wells on voting intention figures has got Tory backbenchers playing a game of "What if?"
The figures make fantastic reading for the party. Over the last two months, they have increased their percentage of the vote to the low 40s. And even though Labour has also gained ground, Lib Dem support has collapsed so sharply that it would now give the Tories a 13-seat majority and leave the Lib Dems languishing on just 22 seats, which is incidentally the number of Lib Dem ministers.
On top of that, Cameron's personal ratings are also excellent. Fifty-eight per cent of voters currently think he is doing a good job, up 10 percentage points from when he first became PM.
All of which means right-wing Tories, digruntled by the coalition in the first place, are now especially annoyed by the fact that it has set in stone a five-year parliament. They are dreaming of an alternate reality, where the two parties had agreed to a less formal deal without any such binding measures, and the Tories could have gone back to the country to get their majority once they had proved they could govern.

NEIL Middleditch admits he is trying to wrest control of thrill-seeker Vaclav Milik's daredevil escapades – but the Poole Pirates boss is not holding his breath.
The impulsive Czech, 21, has continued his swift rise to prominence on the European scene with a purple patch in June for Pirates, homeland club Pardubice and individual meetings.
But while Milik, Poole's only ever-present rider in the Elite League this season, may have won over the Wimborne Road faithful with his fearless antics, Middleditch would like the rookie to develop a more measured approach – not least so he could bear to watch.
Discussing Milik's prominent form, Middleditch told the Daily Echo: "Vaclav is a spectacular rider who gets good scores on the continent as well as here. He is striking the right balance and doing his job.
"He is a young, enthusiastic man who just wants to race as fast as he can. You have to enjoy your racing and it is no coincidence that people who are happy round the pits tend to go out and do well and that is certainly the case with Vaclav.
"I do keep telling him to ride with his head as well as his throttle, though, because it has cost us points at times.
"I'm probably wasting my breath because he never backs off but eventually, he will have to learn because no one wants to see him get hurt and the very best riders manage to find that discipline.
"It must be great for the fans because he is an all-action character who will give you a heart-in-mouth moment more often than not but I have to be honest, sometimes I have to close my eyes."

Reviews forAsiago Bagels
My Review
Average Rating
"How do you make this without a bread machine?"
"Very Good. Great texture. !"
"I came up with the variation after reading in the Oct/Nov 2010 TOH magazine the recipes for the pumpkin and cranberry bagels. How easy this was using the bread machine to mix up and rise the dough. This is bagels made easy and oh so yummy. I made these for an appetizer for our church's progressive supper and cut them into bite sized pieces and then served them with an 8 oz. block of cream cheese softened and blended with an 8 oz. jar of green pepper jelly. They were a big hit, and the sweet/spicy cream cheese spread was a great addition to the rustic cheesiness of the bagels."

BIO Science
A blood-based prenatal test to detect chromosomal abnormalities in fetuses has surged in popularity since debuting in April, with most women who test positive opting for abortions, a study presented at a meeting of genetics experts showed Friday.
The study said 53 out of 56 who received confirmation of testing positive for genetic anomalies chose to terminate pregnancy, while a "very small" number of people aborted after preliminarily testing positive before confirmation, raising concern the test may lead to unnecessary terminations.
A total of 3,514 women took the test in the first six months it was available, compared with 1,534 in the first three months, according to the report, drafted by a group of 25 hospitals across Japan that perform the new prenatal test.
The presentation was made at a meeting of the Japan Society of Human Genetics in Sendai.
Among reasons for taking the test, 94.2 percent cited concerns about advanced-age pregnancy, which roughly pertains to expectant mothers 35 or older. Those whose fetuses tested positive for Down syndrome in the blood diagnosis had an average age of 40.1.
Another 2.4 percent cited a history of pregnancy with chromosomal abnormalities for taking the test, while 1.4 percent said they were told they were at high risk for abnormalities after ultrasound diagnosis.
Of the 67 who tested positive, 62 took the amniotic fluid test to get a definitive diagnosis. Down syndrome and two other genetic disorders were detected in the fetuses of 56 people; six were confirmed as free of abnormalities.
Among those who opted for abortion, the biggest reason cited was that the condition of the fetus was "not good" (37 percent), followed by 21 percent who said they had "no confidence about giving birth to and raising children with chromosomal anomalies," and 21 percent who said they felt "anxiety about planning for their future."
The others cited fears about "leaving children behind after death and increasing the burden on siblings" (17 percent) or economic concerns (4 percent).
Kunio Tamai, chief director of the Japan Down Syndrome Society, which supports sufferers and their families, said prospective parents should look deeper into what it means to live with a chromosomal abnormality.
"I believe that by learning how children with disabilities are coping in society, people can imagine being parents (of such children) and their sense of anxiety may change," he said.
He also noted the widespread need for counseling — not just for those intent on taking the test, but for schoolchildren, teachers and society in general as well.
The prenatal blood test was developed in part to avoid the hazards of amneocentesis, a test that can cause miscarriages because it involves withdrawing amniotic fluid from the fetus.
Koji Kugu, a gynecology professor at Toho University, said the blood test raises several issues.
"Since it's relatively easy on the body, people may take it casually. We need to provide counseling on genetics by fully considering not just those people who will be parents, but also the children being born," he said.
According to the health ministry, abortions in Japan are being carried out at a pace of around 200,000 per year. Technically by law, requesting an abortion on the grounds of chromosomal abnormality is illegal.
Conventional serum marker and amniotic fluid tests are performed on more than 10,000 women each year. A considerable number of those women are believed to opt for abortions after receiving confirmation of an anomaly.
In the latest study, of the 3,438 who tested negative for chromosomal abnormalities, one was later found to have one, the group said, adding that it is closely studying the false negative.
The group said 168 people decided not to take the test after being counseled on genetic matters.
The guidelines for the prenatal test were stipulated by the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology before the test initially became available in April at 15 facilities approved by the Japanese Association of Medical Sciences. As of Oct. 15, 31 facilities had been approved to offer the test.

General News of Monday, 11 February 2013
Source: peacefmonline
Managing Editor of The Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt, believes aside outmoded equipment, losses incurred in transporting and distributing electricity efficiently, the current power rationing by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) can also be attributed to government agencies and departments owing the utility provider whooping sums of monies.
According to Kwesi Pratt who was speaking on Peace FM, government agencies and departments owe the ECG nearly two hundred and thirty million cedis (230million).
"ECG must tell us the truth. Government departments and agencies owe ECG an amount of two hundred and thirty million (230million) new Ghana cedis. Why must Government agencies and departments owe ECG such an amount of money?" he queried.
"If you look closely at their budgets, they (Government and Agencies) allocate utilities bills in their budgets and government pays for it. So I don't know why they refuse to pay the amount of money they owe ECG. Where does the money given to them go to? This is the case of misapplication of funds," he bemoaned.
The seasoned journalist stressed that until both the ECG and VRA open up to Ghanaians about the real situation on the ground, the country will continue to experience load-shedding.
"ECG doesn't have the financial resources to operate. They (ECG) even don't have money to import crude oil for the Volta River Authority (VRA) to operate. We will continue to experience this power rationing if both ECG and VRA do not tell us the truth and continue to allocate blame on the West Africa Gas Pipe Line," he said.
The country is experiencing a shortfall in power production and distribution as a result of a cut in supply of gas from WAPCo.
The pipeline, according to WAPCo, had experienced a loss of pressure around the Lome, Togo segment after it was damaged by the anchor of an unidentified vessel.
Mr Pratt however believes the supply of power to the Volta Aluminum Company Limited (VALCO), despite its mounting debts is a contributory factor.
"VALCO cannot even pay their debt yet government wants to supply them with electricity. They cannot afford their own production so why must the government supply them with electricity. What is wrong with us?" he asked.
According to Mr. Pratt, due to the colossal amount of money which is supposed to be paid to the ECG by these MDA's and VALCO, it has led to the inability of the ECG to operate efficiently.
"They keep giving us false hopes of power supply....a report by the World Bank states that Ghana's crude oil importation debt has risen to 555 million dollars and this is being pushed on Ghanaians through tariffs increment....the consumers are being asked to pay for the inefficiencies of government agencies," Mr Pratt said.

Who's Connecting to Your Car? a 'Proof-Based System' to Secure the Car
As the systems in your new car become "connected" Guardtime and Symphony Teleca partner to bring Active Integrity and Mutual Auditability to the connected car and its ecosystems
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--September 16, 2013: The digital systems in today's connected car, including engine, infotainment and telematics systems, provide communications, numerous conveniences, information, safety, maintenance, security and are advancing towards driver minimalist features and even completely self-driving vehicles. The amount of data being generated is increasing rapidly to support these features. When combined with an integrated mobile device, GPS data and social profiles, the connected car becomes a powerful collector and broadcaster of information. This data is broadcast over public airwaves and stored in the Cloud. Considering the modern connected car has up to 100 million lines of software code, as data becomes more critical to the operation of the vehicle and the connected car ecosystem, it is important to have Active Integrity™ to verify critical systems in real-time, while Mutual Auditability™ assures privacy, safety, security, legality and insurability.
"As we talk with our automotive customers we realize that Cyber Liability is the elephant in the room. With Guardtime, we can now provide assurance to the data transiting what we design, build and host, as well as the principle of Mutual Auditability to our customers keeping the ecosystem accountable."
A fundamental problem with current security models is that it is hard to discover (and subsequently prove) a breach event if the wall or keys are compromised. With such an attack, it becomes impossible to assure the reliability of the digital asset as it may have been changed or accessed by unauthorized parties (who then covered their tracks). Guardtime's Keyless Signature Infrastructure (KSI™) is an alternative technology for authenticating electronic data. KSI is changing the game, with an effective attestation-based security model, by attaching complex mathematical "tags" directly to the data, which makes any access to that data a documented and verifiable event. Time, identity, authenticity and historical provenance of the data is protected and verified in real-time using Guardtime's patented 'proof-based' technology; instead of protections afforded by administrators or credentials that can be compromised.
Global innovation and development services company Symphony Teleca (STC) and Guardtime, the world's leading provider of KSI software and solutions for Software Assurance have announced a partnership to bring these new security, safety, maintenance, and reliability capabilities to enhance the Connected Car ecosystem. STC and Guardtime KSI create solutions to enhance the security and reliability of the connected car software lifecycle, whether from delivery mechanisms such as Over The Air (OTA), or directly from the maintenance portal. With the value of software in vehicles set to increase as much as 50 percent by 2020, it is imperative for OEMs to effectively manage their software lifecycles.
STC's InSight Connect™ Vehicle Relationship Management is a robust example of an end-to-end supervising management solution that directly addresses the challenges posed by vehicle-related services ranging from diagnostics and infotainment, to software upgrade and maintenance. Guardtime KSI enhances this offering with a safe and reliable delivery approach that works within the existing business models provided by dealerships, warranty, and repair centers.
The partnership couples the unprecedented Software Assurance capabilities of Guardtime's KSI technology with STC's role as a consulting engineering company for Cloud, Mobility, Enterprise and Connected Cars. This combination creates an agile and responsive KSI solution provider needed to ensure effective integration of KSI for Connected Cars.
Mike Gault, Guardtime's CEO related, "When we looked for partners to implement our technology, we asked ourselves who is building the devices, software and clouds that make up the Connected Car ecosystem on a global basis… Symphony Teleca is designing the interfaces, building and integrating the software in the car and managing the Cloud in the back end for Primary automotive brands and Tier 1 providers to those brands on a global scale. Their engagement in every piece of Connected Car will allow Guardtime's KSI technology to be rapidly deployed into the ecosystem from the car, through the applications and Mobile devices and into the Cloud."
"STC has been a global market leader in helping major brands bring innovative mobility, connectivity and Cloud solutions to market and at scale," said STC VP and Global Head of Products and Platform Strategy, Russ Cavan. "As we talk with our automotive customers we realize that Cyber Liability is the elephant in the room. With Guardtime, we can now provide assurance to the data transiting what we design, build and host, as well as the principle of Mutual Auditability to our customers keeping the ecosystem accountable."
As more and more data traverses public airwaves and increasingly secure networks allow unsecure Mobile devices to connect to their networks, the issue of data integrity, Software Assurance and Mutual Auditability remains an unanswered question. Guardtime answers that question.

Kimber Custom II Scratch
i just purchased a kimber custom ii in matte black. taking the gun apart i scratched a small line under the slide stop with a screw driver. are there any solutions or options out there for me???? tx in advance for all your advice.
Can you post a pic?
For a small scratch, you may be able to get some touch up paint. Put in on, and quickly wipe it off, leaving "just enough" to fill the scratch.
That's why I was asking for a pic. Depending on the depth of the scratch, you may be able to buff it out with jeweler's rouge.
2 Attachment(s)
heres a couple photos the scratch is right under the slide stop along the length with two small scratches to the bottom left of the long scratch. tx again.
If that scratch is only in the black oxide coating as it appears, you may be in luck. If the scratch is down into the metal, that would probably be a LOT more difficult to fix. Hard to tell from the photos, though.
A screwdriver??? :eek: WHY??! Keep your tools away from the kimber!!! :D
Yea tell me about it. A mistake I'll never make again!! The scratch is light and I do not believe it has gone into the metal .
My fingernail does not catch the scratch... If that description helps to provide a better idea of the depth of the scratch
Just get a stiff bristle brush and some hoppes #9 and scrub it out.
What were you use a screw driver there for?
Pull the slide back to line up the notches and push from the other side then grab with finger and remove the pin.

I Am Bohemian
I am bohemian by blood. My great grand parents imigrated to the US in the late 1800's. I am 100% bohemian on my mother's side and about 75% from my father's side. One of these days I need to trace my family tree back to all of it's origins.
dorado 51-55, M 2 Responses 0 Mar 22, 2008
hi dorado,

i have a great-grandmother who is from Bohemia but I am not sure what town. i see you posted your story in 2008. did you ever find out about your ancestors? if you did, how did you go about it?

Hi there

I am as well 100% Bohemian and I think a bit more than you since I was born in Prague and am an artist. But it is great to meet one. Long live Prague, long live wine and woman and life

Hard to find when arriving by car. Hotel only marked by a few flags.
Service was excellent! The best I have ever experienced. Real 5 star service from the doorman, front desk, restaurant staff, bar tender, housekeeping, etc., all the employees were extremely courteous, helpful, attentive, and professional. Hotel is very nicely and tastefully decorated, lots of artwork and fancy walls, ceilings, etc, and our room was very comfortable. They gave us a free upgrade upon check-in (from a deluxe room to a grand deluxe). Location is perfect - it is right in the middle of town, close to all the attractions, restuarants, and shopping. Yet the inside of the hotel is very quiet and relaxing. Breakfast buffet (included in our room rate) was AMAZING!! Excellent food, lots of choices, and of course excellent service from the staff. I think it would be OK for kids, but it is probably better suited for adults. My wife and I had a wonderful time and I highly recommend this hotel! There is a small gym which I would have liked to be bigger with more equipment The grand deluxe room was a good size, but I think the standard rooms are quite small, especially for what U.S. tourists are used to.
Very good city hotel.Nice stuff. ne
Service and standards at the hotel was excellent in all areas from recption to the restaurant.
the location is great even though very hard to get there. We got there late at night and could not get to the street. The stuff is nice and polite. the hotel was too kitchy for us, the price was very high for the value. The room they gave us was very far and noisy from the motors of the a\c. With this cost you would expect more!
Very beautiful connecting rooms were ready for our family without my request. The staff in the hotel restaurant. No explanation of the course meal. We ordered a child chair but they did not set up.
staff no
Personnel very kind and helpful always striving to be accommodating. The breakfast room was very small on Monday and there were two small children who were noisy and disturbed the rest of the room.Hotel should have moved them to the adjoining room and closed the door.Or asked them to return to their room for breakfast.There was work being done on an adjoining property and they could be heard next door,these rooms should never haven been assigned.We were given an u

The robes! The lovely sheets and room layout. The breakfast was delicious! The directions to the airport bus were a bit confusing unfortunately, so we ended up taking a cab.

good location, diligent & competent staff, well maintained premises. very clean. very good option. one of the best cost / qual. in Italy

Very friendly and professional staff.
The room was very comfortable and quiet and very tastefully decorated. The location is wonderful. The staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was very good.
The hotel is extremely well located- in the heart of the center. It is a gorgeous old building with nicely decorated, well-appointed, clean rooms. The staff is extremely polite and helpful. The price for the value is quite low- I would have expected to pay a lot more for such a hotel. I travel a lot and this is one hotel which I was very impressed with. And, by the way, breakfast is included and is excellent. I have no negative comments whatsoever. The hotel is top notch and a great value.
location convenient to everything helpful staff beautiful room and bath very comfortable
Very helpful staff. Comfortable lovely room Good value
Front desk support was excellent. We must thank the gentleman on the front desk. The price is a bit too high.
very nice hotel, tastefully furnished, excellent service rooms rather small for the price tag
They offer you a bottle of champagne and snacks on arrival. There is a scale in the bathroom and there is a separate huge shower. The position is perfect with restuarants and shops all around you.

Noise problem with air con one night and got no sleep as a result
The hotel is in excellent location, staff is very friendly, really a great selection
L'emplaçament. L'habitació era àmplia. No hi havia cap aspecte rònec. El menjador dels esmorzars és una mica petit. En funció de l'hora que baixes, no et trobes taules lliures.
The location of the hotel was excellent. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was very nice, too. It would be good if the hotel provides shavers, toothbrush etc. I suppose they would do so if we ask which did not in the end.
Location, room, service, everything was excellent!! Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff
wounderful all was fine
The proximity to the historic centre and the fact that it is quiet at night. The "art" scattered around is pretty awful - some very badly drawn life studies in the dining room almost put me off my excellent breakfast.
Ligger i gåafstand til hele Bologna. Rent og pænt værelse. God morgenmad. Nej, men hotellet er
Fremragende placering lige i bymidten. God service og udmærket morgenbuffet. Værelse af god kvaliet (fik et godt værelse efter klage over 1. sals værelse med støj og manglende udsigt) Skulle selv medbringe computer til internet opkobling. Ingen internatonale aviser - kun lokale.
Hyggeligt hotel med en fantastisk placering lige midt i Bologna. Hotellet er lidt "slidt", men det er rent pænt og ordentligt. Store værelser med dejlige balkoner. personalet er meget hjælpsomme.
Decor of room, private terrace Location of hotel is in side street within Limited Traffic Zone, making it almost impossible to find and parking was two blocks away.
Doesn't look at all like the pictures on the internet. Bed was hard as a rock, shower so small that I had to open the doors to bend over and shave my legs. Steps everywhere, including one small step that many triped down right out to the street! Very noisy location.
The staff was great and informative and very helpful
the public areas were very stylish and breakfast was nice My bedroom design was terrible with very bad lighting - very depressing room.
the bed, the breakfast, the selection of tv channels, the understated hospitality of the staff

Nice, quiet room, well equipped for a three star hotel. Very helpful, friendly and efficient staff The labels to direct towards the rooms are a bit misleading
Location Room dark and small andpoor outlook
The location is excellent: two steps from Via Independenza and five minutes walking to Piazza Maggiore. The hotel is beautifully decorated and furnished. Very charming common areas and simple but lovely room. The small patio where you can have breakfast or a coffee latter in the day is especially agreeable. The staff is nice and very helpful: they even give useful suggestions of restaurants nearby. They let us check-in at around noon, when the official time 2 p.m. We just had to wait for 15 minutes for the room to be ready. The breakfast is very good, although the quantities are small. But as the hotel was empty that was not an issue: most of the days we had the beautiful breakfast room all to ourselves.
I found the staff very helpful and informative. The welcome pack included at check-in is a great idea, as was the small guide book we could purchase at the front desk - we had been unable to get a guide book before we left for Bologna. The proximity of the hotel to the centre was great & the bar/restaurant that has recently opened across the street was a fab addition.
The signle room up to 6 qm, to be honest I have never experienced such small room. Additionally, very dark one !!!!
The staff were wonderful, very helpful and happy to make recommendations. The hotel was clean, rooms were a decent size and quite modern and the location really couldn't be better. I have nothing negative to say about the hotel or my stay.
Stille og roligt. Værelset samt badeværelset udemærket og rent. Receptionen oplyste intet om, at man ikke måtte køre til og fra hotellet før SIDSTE dag. Dette resulterer nu at jeg på senere tidspunkt skal kæmpe med de Italienske myndigheder pga. vi tilsyneladende uden at vide det, har kørt ind og ud af et område med begrænset trafik, uden tilladelse. Jeg købte dog en billet til hver dag for parkering i zonen. Jeg har nu læst om adskillige andre med samme oplevelse og har 2 valgmuligeder! betale bøder på op til 10-20.000 eller nægte at betale og aldrig besøge Italien igen!!! lorte-dilemma pga lorte-service!
Service fra hotelpersonalet
God service fra reception.Internationalt. Gode engelskkundskeber
jeg var ok tilfreds, men hotellet var meget slidt og kunne trænge til en total makeover. det positive var beliggenhed og samtidig roligt idet, det var tilbagetrukket. sengene var MEGET hårde
God og hjælpsom hotelportier
Personalet var utrolig venligt og hjælpsomt og talte perfekt engelsk - desuden meget fleksible omkring hvornår jeg ville forlade mit værelse i forbindelse med check-out. Perfekt beliggenhed i centrum. På negativsiden meget lydt og dårlig udsigt til smal baggård fra værelse.
Super godt hotel, der ligger tæt på centrum (ca 10 minutters gågang fra Magiorre plads). Servicen er god, og hotelpersonalet er meget venlige og hjælpsomme med alt. Værelset er hyggeligt og rent. Morgenmaden på hotellet er rigtig god. Eneste minus er at værelset er lidt mørkt, idet der er skodder for vinduet, som kun kan åbnes en smule.

text: After a yearlong run on the regional festival circuit, the music-themed comedy Standard Time is making the jump to arthouse distribution with a title change possibly designed to piggyback on the similarly colorful, retro-styled Down With Love. Director Robert Cary and his co-writer/star Isabel Rose are pitching their renamed Anything But Love as a throwback night at the movies for the kind of grown-up couples who patronize classy regional theaters (where Cary and Rose spent the past decade polishing their talent). Rose plays a cabaret singer who headlines at a seedy hotel lounge and waits tables to pay her drunken, depressed mother's bills. When Rose runs into old high-school crush Cameron Bancroft, now a corporate lawyer, each half of the couple seems to be the answer to the other's prayers: Bancroft needs to start a family so he can demonstrate stability and get promoted at work, and Rose needs money. She's able to overlook Bancroft calling her "babe" and belittling her musical ambitions, until she meets roguish, fidgety pianist Andrew McCarthy, who gives her music lessons, inspires her to develop a less imitative singing style, and captures her heart. Anything But Love is predictable and corny, but to their credit, Cary and Rose strive to make the situation real. Aside from some stylish fantasy interludes, the film isn't overly exaggerated, and the choices Rose faces stay believable: She can support her love of classic pop by getting a gig on a cruise line, or by singing at dinner parties thrown by a rich husband. Still, while Anything But Love starts strong and contains a handful of knockout scenes–most notably a snazzy split-screen makeover, as well as a moment where Eartha Kitt offers Rose some sobering advice–the swoony music and elegant costumes can't disguise the film's weak plotting. The problem with the film is that its vision of classic Hollywood melodrama is primarily conceptual, and far more chaste than its source material. Sex cast a shadow over even the frothiest studio product of the '50s, but it's scarcely implied in Anything But Love, a film that's pleasant but fatally spunk-free.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/7/2013 (1509 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The main road link to northern Manitoba remained restricted late Saturday as RCMP investigated a car crash on Highway 6 south of Thompson that left two dead and another four people seriously injured.
The early morning crash involved a single vehicle that rolled at least once, and RCMP had determined by Saturday afternoon that not everyone in the car was using a seatbelt. That and speed were both factors in the crash and its severity, RCMP said.
The vehicle was headed south with all six occupants when it left the road just before 6:30 a.m.
By Saturday afternoon, RCMP were able to release a second announcement about the crash. It identified the deceased as a 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy and said their names would not be released.
At that time, the remaining four occupants remained in hospital with serious injuries.
All six persons involved are residents of Thompson.
The vehicle involved was a 2008 Chevrolet Impala, RCMP said.
There was no word Saturday evening on when the highway would be reopened to both lanes of traffic.
Access to the highway had been reduced all day to a single lane for investigators that included an RCMP traffic collision analyst called to the scene. The last word was that the investigation was continuing and motorists were advised to expect delays on the highway.

TEL AVIV (Dec. 2)
An Israel Defense Force reserve officer was convicted by the Jerusalem Magistrates Court last week on three counts of exporting military equipment and expertise without the requisite licenses.
Lt. Col. Yair Klein, who sent arms and military know-how to Colombia and the Caribbean island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, pleaded guilty to the charges related to the shipment to Colombia and will be sentenced on Dec, 27. He faces up to three years in prison.
He had asked the court to add the charge of illegal shipment to Antigua to the indictments related to Colombia, so that he could be sentenced on all four counts together and avoid a further trial. But the court will meet again to hear the Antigua charge. The weapons were shipped in April 1989 from Antigua to Colombia.
An associate of Klein's, reserve Lt. Col. Yitzhak Shoshani, will be tried later this month on similar charges.
Klein, who is director of Hod Hahanit (Spearhead), a military training and consultant firm, has maintained throughout that he was training guards to protect Colombian farmers from cattle rustlers and guerrillas.
But Colombia's intelligence service accused Klein of advising the assassins of presidential candidate Luis Carlos Galan in 1989. The Colombian government issued a warrant for his arrest, but Israel refused to extradite Klein because it has no extradition treaty with Colombia.
In a prepared statement, Klein said he had entered a guilty plea "to put an end to the witch hunt running rampant in some of the press, based on rumors and speculation which are harming the state and me." He said he had acted "in good faith and in the belief that my actions were within the law."
The IDF allows reservists and retired officers to engage in military consulting and the international arms trade subject to a Defense Ministry license. The ministry has reportedly authorized 800 Israeli firms to engage in arms trafficking.
The formal charges against Klein specified his work for two mysterious organizations in Colombia, the Cattle-Raisers Association and the Farmers Association, both of which were rumored to be linked to the drug cartel.
Shoshani is charged with having been Klein's go-between with the Colombians.
Judge Miriam Bernstein found Klein guilty of negotiating without a license to provide military training to the Cattle-Raisers Association.
He was also found guilty of visiting Colombia on two occasions in 1988 to provide military training without a license to members of the Farmers Association; and exporting, without license, ammunition belts, night-fighting equipment and detection apparatus to protect air strips.

AAS in a Nutshell
Since 2005, AAS has provided over 50 Action Sports events to more than 200 adaptive teens and young adults (including injured military). To sustain and popularize these events, AAS has incorporated them into USASA competitions and other popular venues like the X Games.
- AAS is recognized for its Snowboard Pipeline which provides snowboard training to adaptive riders at all levels to increase their skill sets according to their personal goals since 2007.
- Many AAS trainees return annually to upgrade their snowboard skills.
- The quality of AAS adaptive snowboard training is indisputable: four of the six riders named to the first US Para-snowboard A Training Team are AAS athletes, two of whom have trained with AAS since 2007.
Early Season Gate Training
As soon as there was snow in early November, AAS offered race training sessions at Copper Mountain for intermediate and expert adaptive BoarderX riders. The purpose was to help racers gain experience, and be comfortable, with GS and SL race gates. The gates, new this year, were purchased by AAS in cooperation with USASA Copper Mountain. Video analysis helped riders assess their skills and set progressive goals.
Busy December Launches AAS 2013-14 Season
Ski Spec: The snow year started with a celebration as AAS was honored by Disabled Sports USA for contributing instruction and coaching to the 5-day Hartford Ski Spectacular at Breckenridge, CO. AAS instructors included: Reggie Strong, Amy Purdy, and Evan Strong. Evan and Amy are both also members of the US National Para-snowboard A Training Team. AAS Coaches Daniel Gale and Chris Koeppe worked with participants in improving their race skills. James Sides and Travis Krebs, both injured military and AAS athletes, attended Ski Spec as trainees.
Injured Military Jimmy Sides and Tanner Kuth helped AAS kick-off the first 3-day Snowboard Camp for the 2013-14 season. The camp, held in mid-December at Copper immediately followed Ski Spec. Because he was participating as an AAS Instructor at Ski Spec, Reggie Showers -- an amputee from Philadelphia and an AAS instructor who was certified Level 1 in 2011 -- was able to stick around to act as Lead Instructor for Tanner and Jimmy. Enthusiasm for the first training of the season brought other AAS instructors out to join the fun.
The camp, designed for individual or small group training, is a new format for AAS. The increasing number of AAS instructors and coaches allows AAS to schedule these new trainings primarily at the convenience of the trainee. The trainee picks the dates. As long as housing is available, AAS can generally accommodate a trainee's choice. Thanks DSUSA and Operation Rebound for helping make Jimmy and Tanner's training possible.

BIG PRAIRIE -- Charles "Chuck" Efaw, age 64, Big Prairie, passed away Friday, Aug. 29, 2014 at his residence.
A memorial service will be 2 p.m. Tuesday at Schlabach Funeral Home, Shreve. He was born June 19, 1950, in Fairmont, W.Va., to Charles H. and Virginia (Murphy) Efaw. He married Betty Brown on Dec. 31, 1972, and she survives.

He had been a race car driver and enjoyed classic cars, attending car shows and anything pertaining to Fords. He was an ardent supporter of the West Virginia University Mountaineers. He loved to spend time bowling with friends and so much enjoyed the company of his feline "Peanut." Always the family man, Chuck enjoyed the company of his kids and grandkids.

NewsDeck120 worth it?
Generally, we try to provide drawbacks to the readers. With it's awesome features as well. But in NewsDeck120's case, we would like to go only for why NewsDeck120 should be a must have app. The reason is simple, it is way too ahead in simplifying your lifestyle. Talking of drawback? No we didn't figured that out. None.
Speaking broadly, you can visit their website http://www.NewsDeck120.com. Flawlessly, you can click on the play button and listen to the news of 120 words. The landing page shows you 3 RBG (red blue, green) options:
1) 10 min cover to cover, the whole picture
2) 5 min power bulletin for big news
3) 2 min must know stories of the day
|NewsDeck120 android app can be downloaded from here|
NewsDeck120 android app Insights
As you can see, as simple as it seems. If you have opened their website, you would notice that the NewsDeck120 android app contains same interface as website. You can browse through 2, 5 or 10 mins news as well.
There are not much settings in this android app, you can turn on or off the notifications.
To spotlight some knowledge to teens, or rather you can call NewsDeck120's explicit feature: they have provided Quick Wiki at the top right of all the news articles. If you are reading a news article about Rahul Gandhi as main keyword, then Quick Wiki can tell you who exactly is Rahul Gandhi.
Strictly speaking, NewsDeck120 can be best termed as the best and evergreem alternative to Google News. 1.9MB apk file wont affect much. It neither depletes your bandwidth not causes any harm with memory. NewsDeck120 can be said the best alternative to 4th Estate. The only difference lies is in the GUI. NewsDeck120 does not have any specific category in their layout.
Maybe Harsha and Venkat planned to make NewsDeck120 as simple as it can be. Many android apps have been planned and have executed themselves but couldnt find success as people's champion. NewsDeck120 needs more marketing to let people know the features. There is a strange thing about 120 with this app. Apart from number of words being 120 in all their news, they specified the introduction of the app in the playstore with 120 words as well.

Ten years ago, Salpointe Catholic's Dennis Bene coached one of the most prolific passing attacks Southern Arizona has ever seen.
Senior quarterback Tyler Graunke threw for a 5A state-record 3,372 yards and city-record 38 touchdowns while receivers Rocco Bene and Jack Darlington became the first duo in state history to each pass the 1,000-yard mark.
As Bene has gotten ready for this season, he couldn't help but experience déjà vu.
With a trio of star senior receivers made up of UA verbal commit Cameron Denson; Kaelin Deboskie, a transfer from Colleyville, Texas; and Robby Wilson, who Bene considers to also be a college-level receiver.
"It's really a blessing having Cameron, Kaelin and Robby on the same team," senior quarterback Andrew Cota said. "Those are three dynamic weapons I can get the ball to any play."
With those three going along with an experienced and hungry Cota, Bene wouldn't be surprised if 2003 happened all over again.
"The sky is the limit for this group, it really is," Bene said. "I'm really hoping Andrew has a big year. He's been tremendously efficient as a quarterback and he's really, really talented so we're going to let him throw it around."
The Lancers will open their season tonight at 7:30 against Henderson (Nev.) Liberty as part of the Sollenberger Classic at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas. The game will be broadcast nationally and an estimated 25 million households are expected to be tuned in.
The Star sat down with the trio — which actually earned the nickname "The Trio" sometime this summer — before the Lancers left to Vegas to find out more about them.
Who: Cameron Denson
40-yard dash: 4.4 seconds
2012 recap: While he only caught 37 passes for 585 yards and two scores, Denson filled in at quarterback for most of the season after Cota went down with an injury. He threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns and made a bigger impact on the ground, running for 1,026 yards and 18 touchdowns.
College outlook: Denson, one of the top players in the state, verbally committed to UA in January but has offers from seven Pac-12 schools, including ASU, Oregon State and Washington. He also has Notre Dame, Oklahoma and West Virginia after him.
Favorite NFL receiver: Andre Johnson, Houston Texans. The reason Denson wears No. 5 is because he grew up a fan of the Miami Hurricanes and watched Johnson, who wore that same number. "He was just my receiver idol growing up," Denson said.
Coach's call: "We'll move Cam around to get him the ball and he will play some quarterback. He was spectacular last year so we won't hesitate to put him back there. Usually when he gets his hands on the ball he makes something positive out of it so you have to keep feeding him." — Bene
Who: Kaelin Deboskie
40-yard dash: 4.45 seconds
2012 recap: As a junior, Deboskie led Colleyville (Texas) Heritage in receiving with 1,218 yards and 10 touchdowns.
College outlook: Like Denson, Deboskie has several offers. The UA and ASU are interested along with Oklahoma State and West Virginia.
Favorite NFL receiver: Tavon Austin, St. Louis Rams. "He's quick, fast and just makes crazy moves," Deboskie said. "He's just a game changer. That's how I feel like I am."
Coach's call: "He's got a multitude of talents. He's so quick and runs great routes so I'm really excited to watch him play in space. He's really got great hips, great feet and is a very difficult matchup one-on-one." — Bene
Who: Robby Wilson
40-yard dash: 4.9 seconds
2012 recap: Wilson started to find his rhythm late in the year, catching nine passes for 151 yards and two touchdowns in the final four games.
College outlook: No offers yet but Bene said Air Force has shown a lot of interest, along with Colorado and San Diego State.
Favorite NFL receiver: Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions, and Andre Johnson. Although they might be a little faster, Wilson said he has similar "big-play" qualities to them with his height and ability to catch jump balls.
Coach's call: "He's a really good blocker and a difficult matchup because of his height. If you don't cover Robby, we have no problem throwing him the ball all night." — Bene

If you have a paid Dropbox account, you just received an unexpected bonus: twice as much storage at no extra cost.
Cloud storage provider Dropbox last night doubled the amount of storage that Pro subscribers receive, increasing its Pro 50GB and 100GB packages to 100GB and 200GB, respectively. The larger storage allowances have already taken effect.
The official Dropbox announcement makes it sound like the cloud storage company doubled its paid allotments as a customer service: "We've heard from architects with giant drafting files and photographers with huge portfolios, but mostly we hear from families who have more than 100GB of photos, docs and videos."
Perhaps those cloud-addicted families inspired Dropbox to double its storage allotments, but methinks marketplace realities played a large part in the company's decision. A quick comparison shows that Dropbox's prices are coming under intense pressure from very big players. For example, Google Drive runs under $60 per year for 100GB; Microsoft's SkyDrive comes in at $50 per year.
By contrast, Dropox's 100GB package runs $9.99 per month or $99 per year; the 200GB package is $199 per year. In addition, Dropbox announced a new 500GB package at $499 per year. Dropbox's Team package -- which includes administrative tools -- remains unchanged at $795 for up to 1TB and five users.
Granted, there are some service differences: SkyDrive, for example, limits files to 2GB and Google Drive tops out at 10GB. Dropbox can take files of any size if you upload from the desktop app. All three services have Windows, Mac, and iOS apps, and Google Drive also runs on Android (you thought otherwise?); Microsoft's SkyDrive also runs on Windows Phone; and Dropbox is also available on Linux, Android, and BlackBerry.
While I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, perhaps Dropbox's bonus is not so great after all: When it comes to bytes for the buck, Dropbox is still roughly twice as expensive as Microsoft or Google -- even after the doubling down.

Toe amputation cost:
{Package covers all the medical & logistic costs at the destination}
International Destinations: India, Mexico, South Korea, Turkey, Jordan
Surgical amputation of the toe or a part of the toe becomes necessary when the blood supply to the toe is interrupted. There are several clinical conditions when amputation surgery of the toe is recommended, which includes, advanced cases of diabetes mellitus, infection, local trauma or injury, ostemomyelitis, peripheral vascular disease, tumors, frostbite or congenital anomalies. In most of these conditions, amputation is advocated to remove the infected or necrotic tissue affecting the toe.
The procedure is conducted by a vascular surgeon. Ulceration of the foot caused due to diabetes attributes to 85% of all non traumatic amputations of the lower extremities. Other leading non traumatic conditions requiring amputation of the toe, include congenital anomalies like hammer toe, claw toe or mallet toe which result in ulceration and infection of the toe. Amputation of toe is required in individuals with impaired nerve functions, which may result in deep cracks in the skin which facilitate access of microbes into the skin causing chronic infections and ulcerations.
Amputation of the toe doesn't result in significant morbidity and doesn't require prosthesis, except that, it would marginally affect the gait of the patient and may restrict the speed of movement. It is a simple surgical procedure which requires a minimum hospitalization of two days depending upon the patient's condition. India, South Korea, Jordan, Mexico, and Turkey, offer toe amputation surgery at affordable rates.
Why is amputation of the toe required?
- In patients with underlying conditions like Diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, etc, when the toe gets infected and ulcerated, it is best to amputate it to prevent the spread of infection and gangrene.
- The underlying medical condition limits the possibility of bypass surgery to the leg artery to improve blood supply. Even laser surgeries to stretch the arteries are futile.
- Antibiotics to control infection spread will not be adequate, as the infection will spread very fast causing gangrene of the surrounding tissues.
Preparing for Toe Amputation:
- Prior to the surgery, a set of blood tests and imaging investigations (X ray of the toe or the foot and bone scan) would be required. The tests are aimed at allowing the doctor to evaluate the blood circulation and the extent of amputation required.
- A detailed medical history evaluation of the patient is conducted prior to the procedure to assess the patients health and ability to withstand the procedure
- Aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs need to be stopped at least a week prior to the scheduled surgery. Blood thinners like Clopidogrel, Warfarin, Ticlopidine, etc need to be stopped along with the anti inflammatory drugs.
- On the previous night of the day of the scheduled surgery, the patient is suggested to have a light meal and refrain from eating or drinking anything after midnight.
Toe Amputation: The procedure
- The procedure is preferably conducted under general anesthesia. However, depending upon the patients condition, a spinal or local anesthesia may also be used. It is a minor amputation procedure which may last for 30 to 40 minutes depending upon the extent of amputation.
- The procedure involves the amputation of the toe or the foot depending upon the severity. The commonest technique used is a 'Ray amputation', where the toe and a small portion of the corresponding metatarsal bone is removed.
- Depending upon the extent of amputation done, the procedure is further classified into distal amputation (where only the distal phalangeal bone is removed), intermediate amputation (which involves the removal of the proximal inter-phalangeal joint) or proximal amputation (which involves the removal of the toe up to the meta-tarso-phalangeal joint).
- Occasionally a forefoot amputation is conducted when more than one toe is affected by gangrene. In forefoot amputation all the toes and the ball of the foot are removed.
- The procedure involves the removal of a considerable amount of debris in order to avoid any form of subsequent secondary infection.
- The wound may be kept open if too much of skin is removed or if the infection is severe. The healthcare team will take precautions to protect the wound and promote quick healing
Post operative care after Toe Amputation:
- The patient is advised to take pain reliving tablets and a course of antibiotics (which may have been started prior to the surgery) to reduce pain and avert chances of an infection.
- Cold fomentation would be helpful for the first few hours after the amputation surgery. " For the first two days and most of the first week, the patient is advised to restrict movement.
- Stitches are removed about two to three weeks after the procedure. After the removal of the stitches patients are advised to wear sport shoes for up to two months after the procedure to facilitate the process of healing
- Some patients may complain of an unusual sensation at the site of the location. It is best for the patient to apply face cream and massage the site with light hands to reduce scar sensitivity.
Risks or problems associated with toe amputation surgery
- Post operative infection at the site of amputation is a common problem. This may result in increased pain and swelling at the site and antibiotics are normally given to prevent this.
- The healing may be delayed in some patients, with poorly controlled diabetes or infections
- The scar tissue may thicken or may become tender which would take about ten to twelve months to recover
- Occasionally the patient may feel a numb patch of skin around the wound which would resolve within a couple of months after the surgery.
Toe amputation surgery in India:
India excels in providing quality and cheap health care services to overseas tourists. As per available data, Indian hospitals treated over 150,000 foreign tourists in 2004 and the projections suggest an annual rise in medical tourists by over 15%. India provides several advantages. It is the cheapest medical tourism destination in South East Asia, a large portion of the population speaks English, which makes communication easy and most of the healthcare facilities are housed with the latest and hi tech medical equipments, which have increased the precision of diagnosis and treatment.
Toe amputation surgery in Mexico:
As Mexico shares its border with the United States, it is preferred by many Americans due to its mere proximity. Further health packages in Mexico provide as much as 75% off on the price of comparable procedure in the United States, without any compromise in the quality of medical care. This has helped Mexican health system gain the position of the 61st best healthcare system in the world by the World Health Organization.
Toe amputation surgery in Turkey:
Over 200,000 medical tourists visit Turkey annually, mostly from Middle Eastern and European Countries, in lieu of low cost and international quality of medical care services.

With its superior quality and cost advantage, more and more numbers of Americans are viewing Jordan as an option for gaining medical care.
Toe amputation surgery in South Korea:

Louisville Woman Competes On 'Survivor'
A Louisville woman will try to "outwit, outplay and outlast" 15 other castaways on the 18th season of "Survivor."
Sandy Burgin traveled to several audition sites and spent several nights outside to be the first through the doors, hoping to get the attention of the casting directors.
Her family said competing on the hit CBS reality show fulfills a longtime dream for Burgin.
Burgin, 53, is the oldest competitor on "Survivor: Tocantins." The professional school bus driver described herself as a "fearless woman" in her biography for the show.

Because he has great size, athletisim, pretty form on his jump shot, and can defend, in spurts, at an incredible level. Not to mention a lot of those players were not near as raw as George coming out of college. I didn't expect him to even play much this year.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The reason I think he can be a top player is because of his insane body control. He is absurdly smooth in his motions which took me by surprise when I first saw him. When you consider that he has only been playing the wing position for 3 years now his smoothness is even more impressive.
He was playing incredibly well when he was the man to score off the bench. I really hate that he's stuck with the starters because none of them, besides Roy, are good passers. I think he could put up 10-15 a game if he was given more chances to score and stopped shooting spot up threes so much.

* Investors buy into "repair phase" for European banks despite complexity
* European banks seen as 2014's best spread compression play
* US market offers greatest depth of demand
By Danielle Robinson and Helene Durand
NEW YORK/LONDON, Jan 17 (IFR) - Credit Agricole demonstrated the extraordinary revival of enthusiasm for European bank credits when it attracted almost USD25bn of demand for a debut USD1.75bn Additional Tier 1 transaction.
Despite the deal's relatively complex two-trigger structure that initially had investors scratching their heads, nearly 900 accounts from the US, Asia and Europe scrambled for allocations in the 7.875% perpetual non-call 10-year deal.
"European banks are now just starting to clean up their balance sheets and bump up capital positions, and if you are comfortable with their credit improvement story then you want to be in securities that will enjoy the greatest amount of spread compression," said Matt Duch, senior portfolio manager at Calvert Investments.
Laurent Frings, head of credit research at SWIP in Edinburgh agreed, saying that banks had got over their biggest problems and that the "repair phase" would continue over the next 18 to 24 months.
"Earnings, quantum and quality of capital, liquidity and capital cushions to Additional Tier 1 trigger will continue to improve," he said.
Since the beginning of December, US bank spreads have rallied by 20bp-25bp (after huge spread compression over the past two years, US banks now trade inside of industrials).
And without much room for more tightening from that sector, investors have turned their sights on the rejuvenation of European banks as the highest yielding fixed income asset class, as well as the best spread compression play for 2014.
The need for yield also helped investors overcome any misgiving about the deal's 5.125% and 7.00% Common Equity Tier 1 triggers at bank and group level respectively.
"There were so many people that didn't understand this deal but blindly bought it anyway," said a person with knowledge of the deal. "There's a lot of interest in this product for one reason - the yield," the person added. "The high-yield market right now is an asset class that trades at 5.5% and here is a strong European bank issuing a BB+/BB+ security at 7.875%."
Credit Agricole's execution strategy helped to build the feeding frenzy. Instead of going out with whispers, the bank left New York on Tuesday evening with a shadow order book of more than USD4bn from about 150 accounts.
Although it had indications of interest under 8.00% from solid accounts, it fed demand further in Europe by announcing whispers in the 8.125%-8.375% range, slightly wider than the 8%-8.125% that US investors thought the issuer was leaning towards.
As New York opened on Wednesday morning, lead managers Credit Agricole, Barclays, CA-CIB, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and UniCredit said the book had built to USD20bn - with more to come.
"We came in on Wednesday morning and saw that the book had ballooned to USD20bn from USD5bn the night before - we couldn't believe it," said one buy-side account in the US. "After that, it was cash chasing cash."
Despite its added complexity, at 7.875%, Credit Agricole achieved the same coupon as Societe Generale's low 5.125% trigger USD1.75bn perpetual non-call 10-year priced in December, which was trading last week at 7.75%.
The size of the book and the deal's performance - it was trading at 102.5/102.75 on Thursday in New York from a par reoffer - has also underscored the US dollar market as the main place for European banks to raise Additional Tier 1 capital.
"The euro market investor base is getting more mature every day, but in terms of investor liquidity and depth of the market for this instrument, the US dollar market is the biggest and I expect it will remain that way for a while," said Vincent Hoarau, head of FIG syndicate at Credit Agricole CIB in London.
Although Credit Agricole believes it could have also done an equally successful deal in euros, albeit with a much smaller book, the big gap in the euro demand base is Germany.
Asset managers took up 61% of the deal and investors in the UK and North America together made up 71% of the book. The US took up 49% of the trade or USD850m, a lot more than the USD200m they took of the USD1bn 20-year non-call five 7.00% permanent write-down Tier 2 deal from Credit Agricole last September.
"We were impressed with the diversity of investor types that ended up in the book. We saw insurance companies participating and it was also interesting to see high-yield accounts coming into the deal," said Jean Luc Lamarque, global head of debt syndicate at Credit Agricole CIB in London.
