Decision on liquor price hike may be reviewed
Speaking to reporters, the minister said the previous government had increased the prices of liquor just a few months before demitting office. Even this decision would be reviewed, the minister said.
The Excise department contributes to the government not less than Rs 12,000 crore in the form of duty. Of this, at least one per cent should come to the department as grants. There is a shortage of not less than 2,500 personnel in the department. The process to recruit 200 excise inspectors had begun, he said.
There is no proposal to allow sale of arrack and make available cheap liquor. In 80 villages of Bijapur, Bagalkot, Gadag and Belgaum, illicit liquor units are still functioning.
The State will be made free of illicit liquor by rehabilitating those who are into this business, he said.
A meeting of leaders of all political party would be convened to discuss the demand for new liquor shops and also to stop illegal sale of liquor in rural areas. The chief minister would chair the meeting, he said.
All liquor shops will be made to display the prices of liquor as there are complaints that liquor is being sold at more than the prescribed rates, Jarkiholi said.
Extension for CS?
Noting that the previous regime had taken certain decisions in haste, just before the elections, Siddaramaiah said all decisions would not be scrapped.
"When we review the decisions by the previous government, some projects and proposals may survive," he said.
On rumours that the government may extend the tenure of Chief Secretary S V Ranganath, the chief minister said he was yet to take a decision on the matter.
"The Cabinet has authorised me to take a decision. I am yet to decide whether to replace him or extend his tenure for a few more months," he said.

Santa Muerte in Mexico. As one of the most popular Mexican saints, Saint Death's role is not uniquely linked to death, but life as well.
Santa Muerte is a female saint widely followed in Mexico. She is, however, not an official saint within the Roman Catholic Church, and is rather a popular cult, associated with healing and care for you in the afterlife. Her figure also appears to some extent in the US – due to the large influx in Mexican immigration – and other countries in Central America.
The image of Santa Muerte is a female skeleton wearing a cloak or robe and clutching a scythe or blade. The robe is any color – in fact the only thing that remains constant is the skeleton face. The cult is believed to originate from the colonial era, when ancient indigenous practices were changed by the forced conversion to Catholicism.
For many years, Santa Muerte was a largely taboo concept within Mexico – it was only used by women desperate for help with their cheating husbands. It was in 2001, when a Santa Muerte follower established a public shrine to the saint in Mexico City that people really began to take notice, and she became an important component of people's spiritual and religious lives.
Santa Muerte – or Saint Death in English – is especially popular in those areas of Mexico heavily damaged by crime. Devotees of the figure pray at homemade altars in the hope that she will grant their wishes: which normally include evading law enforcement, helping with their drug addictions, or simply advice about how to cope with such deprivation.
The saint is also considered the protector of the Mexican LGBT community – which, particularly in rural areas, is outcast from society. Many LGBT-identifying people pray to Santa Muerte for security from attacks, disease, as well as assistance in their pursuit of love. This is one of such examples where she is not solely linked to death – but rather increasing quality of life, too.
Besides her official name, she is affectionately called a handful of nicknames, such as Skinny Lady, White Sister, Godmother or Pretty Girl – names that evoke a gentler and most compassionate image than Santa Muerte.
The general lack of official acceptance of Santa Muerte means devotees are free to perform any ritual they wish. A common way to petition the saint is with a candle – frequently color-coded according to the type of wish sought. For instance, requests to do with love and romance are made with a red candle. With these candles they then tell Santa Muerte what it is they need or want.
In May 2013, the Vatican officially declared it blasphemous, declaring that those worshipping the figure were causing a "degeneration of religion".

When the Mykonos Theoxenia Hotel opened its swanky new doors last summer, it signified that the most glamorous of all the Greek islands was well and truly back on the fashion map.
The Theoxenia simply oozes sophistication. Positioned on a prime piece of real estate just a stone's throw from Little Venice and right next to the island's famous windmills, the jet set have begun to stroll up its runway-style drive to rest their beautiful heads in this shrine to 1960s minimalism.
Mykonos enjoyed its first brush with fame during that decade, when the likes of Jackie Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis used to hang out there, but over the years the island's illustrious star waned. It was written off as a cheap and cheerful package destination. But all that has changed. Sure, it is still possible to holiday here in basic studios and cut-price apartment hotels, but a new wave of internationalism has swept across the island bringing with it a clutch of boutique hotels, designer villas, restaurants, and well-heeled travellers to match.
It's easy to see why Mykonos, the breeziest branch of the Cyclades islands, first became so popular - it has all the quintessential ingredients: an attractive town built around a picture-postcard harbour complete with windmills, bright whitewashed houses with blue or green shutters, hundreds of pink and blue domed chapels, and numerous sandy bays and rocky coves with clear waters.
By far the coolest of the new hotel properties is the Theoxenia. With its stone-clad walls, orange and turquoise hessian fabrics and miles of minimalist surfaces, you may never want to leave. The pool area, with its white-plastic beach chairs and curtained four-poster beds, makes a tempting alternative to the beach.
The Saint John Hotel also opened last year, to much acclaim. Lounging on a hillside overlooking the Aegean at Aghios Yiannis, just outside Ornos, it resembles a traditional blue-and white-village, complete with chapel. Popular with young couples and holidaying Greeks, it has a vast seawater infinity pool, sun terraces and a private 200m beach.
The Hotel Belvedere is another favourite. Commanding a superb position at the top of Mykonos Town, it attracts a glitzy international crowd who party around the exotic multilevel pool area and lounge on the oversize day beds.
You know a destination has really arrived when chef Nobu decides to open an offshoot. Matsuhisa Mykonos at the Hotel Belvedere is his latest worldwide venture. If you have plenty of cash to flash, this is where you can hobnob with the rich and famous who dine alfresco around the pretty pool and tuck into signature dishes such as black cod and den miso. At around £75 per head for a seven-course meal including wine, the food is not cheap, but it is delicious.
Dotted about the rocky island are fine villas and houses. Wimco International has a new portfolio of designer properties stuffed with French and Italian antiques. Similarly, Five Star Greece has the Parenthesis Villa Resort, outside Aghios Yiannis.
After a late dinner, the party people head for the many disco bars in town. Cava Paradiso, the open-air cliff top club above Paradise Beach still reigns supreme. Expect top name DJs such as Carl Cox and Deep Dish playing nightly to a mixed crowd dancing on the terraces and around the small swimming pools.

|Classic EM on toes & feet (mine is much milder)
"Erythromelalgia is a rare and frequently devastating disorder that typically affects the skin of the feet or hands, or both, and causes visible redness, intense heat and burning pain."My EM began abruptly almost 3 years ago. It was the first week of December, the weather had turned cold, and my family made our annual trip to a local Christmas tree farm to cut down our tree. It was, as always, a pleasant time with my family, except that by the time I got home, my toes were burning with pain. I was desperate to tear off my warm socks and boots and was almost in tears. From that day on, the burning pain and redness in my toes continued until spring. The podiatrist guessed maybe it was a fungal infection, but the antifungal cream he prescribed did nothing. My primary care doctor had no idea what was wrong (is this sounding familiar?).
|I miss my whimsical sock collection!
I have had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) since March 2002. Both of my sons also got ME/CFS at ages 6 and 10. Our younger son fully recovered after 10 years of mild illness. Our older son still has ME/CFS and also has Lyme disease plus two other tick infections. This blog is about how our family lives with chronic illness, with a focus on living and enjoying our lives in spite of these challenges.

There are no plans to bottle and market ''Eau de Gowanus,'' but efforts to revive interest in the canal-cum-cesspool between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens have reached new heights of creativity: sunset cruises on the waterway.
The Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment offered the first boat trip in June, hoping that exposing neighborhood residents to the canal would prompt them to take an active interest in its fate. The center's executive director, John Muir, said he expected little interest in the trip; instead, it sold out -- no one ever said New Yorkers were sane -- and he scheduled several more.
Early last Saturday evening, 54 adventurers gathered at the Fulton Ferry Landing to board the Biloxi-based Gulf Screamer and brave the heart of darkest Brooklyn. Rebecca Lee said she had seen the canal while walking, and it seemed ''pretty skanky,'' which intrigued her. Carol Clark, a Park Slope resident, said the canal had transported the materials to construct many buildings in her neighborhood. ''It's Park Slope's industrial frontier,'' she said.
Before the frontier, however, passengers enjoyed a brief pleasure cruise through the Buttermilk Channel, past Governors Island's stately buildings and Red Hook's red brick warehouses, with a mist-shrouded Statue of Liberty to starboard. Then the boat passed Sunset Park and edged under the Hamilton Avenue bridge into the canal.
Overgrown greenery edged the canal, and a few artists waved from a warehouse, but otherwise there were few signs of life. The odor was foul, the water black. Any temptation to trail a hand in the water was stanched by a mention of the hepatitis and cholera microbes that had been found there. Flotsam galore, from a basketball to bottles to ''float ables,'' also known as human excrement, bobbed next to the boat.Continue reading the main story
And there were the bubbles, silently, ominously surfacing throughout the canal, a telling sign, Mr. Muir said. They result from the putrefaction of sediment; 100 years of heavy metals, oil, chemicals and, rumor has it, a few Mafiosi at the bottom.
The canal is a passage to nowhere. It ends approximately a mile and a half from the bay where it begins. It was created by deepening, widening and walling a natural creek to make it navigable, so industry could transport materials in bulk.
The canal has long acted as a neighborhood sink, a repository for storm drainage, sewage overflow and industrial waste. But the sink has a badly clogged drain. Its builders had assumed that the tides would flush it out; instead, the water stagnated, and the waste with it. A flushing tunnel built in 1911 never worked properly, and ceased operating altogether 30 years ago. It is scheduled to resume operation next year. That will improve water quality, but it will leave the sediment, which is too toxic to dredge, untouched.
The cruises, however, are as much about what the canal could be as what it is. So Mr. Muir went into an exhortative riff: ''Can you imagine, instead of abandoned trucks, a promenade? Instad of weeds, an avenue of willow trees hanging down and touching the water? Instead of barges, canoes and rowboats?''
Then the boat returned to the dock, passing two fully loaded garbage barges, with the lights of Manhattan visible in all their glory, and the passengers went off into the night with visions of a second Brooklyn promenade dancing in their heads.
Information about the cruises and other Gowanus-related activities is available from the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment, (718) 788-8500. The next cruise is set for late August, although by then, Mr. Muir warned, ''the place is getting awfully ripe.'' AMY WALDMAN
Just How Polluted Is Canal?
''It's So Polluted That. . . .''
Just how polluted is the Gowanus Canal? Less polluted than Love Canal or the Cuyahoga River, but more polluted, on average, than the Yangtze or Ganges Rivers, says John Muir, executive director of the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment. In New York, the only thing on a par is Newtown Creek, which runs between Brooklyn and Queens.
During the cruise, Abu Bakr Moulta Ali of the center performed a few standard tests. Fish need five parts per million of dissolved oxygen to live; Mr. Ali's sample found only 2.8 parts per million. To sustain plant life, light must be able to penetrate six feet; Mr. Ali's test showed light able to penetrate the canal's murky depths for only two feet. AMY WALDMANContinue reading the main story

Life isn't a crystal stair.
The Mother wants what is best for her son and she is trying to explain that life isn't a crystal stair to her son by using her own life for an example on how she has had her ups and downs/tuff times going through life. She doesn't want her son to fall she wants her son to pick himself right back up, keep on moving, and learn from his mistakes he has made.
In the Poem Mother and Daughter by Langston Hughes a mother is trying to reach out to her son about life and how it is not crystal clear. The Poem also talk about how the mother has to some sharp/risky turns in her life that lead her to the dark and no light but she is still persevering and still saying that Life isn't no crystal stair. The mother states " I'se been a-climbin' on, and reachin' landin's and turnin' corners, And sometimes goin' in the dark Where there aint been no light. She also states that "And Life for me ain't been no crystal stair". Life is not always going to be crystal clear. There are always going to be ups and downs, left and right and sometimes we make the wrong turn which guides us into a dark state in our lives where there is no light. We shouldn't fall down even if we are in a ruff state right now in our lives we should persevere and we should continue strong because we may never know what the future holds until we try to keep our head on straight, keep the faith, and keep it moving forward. All mothers want there sons/daughters to know what is best,that everything is not perfect in this world, that there are people in this world who try and knock other people down but you cant focus on the past you have to forgive and face toward the future. The mother is setting out an obvious theme that don't give up trying you have to pick yourself up if you fall and continue to move on. I tell you this that life isn't a crystal stair. Your going to have your battles because life isn't always fair and it isn't always easy but keep moving on because it is not worth shedding one tear when times are complicated. You find it harder when you fall and continue to sit there.

Philadelphia embarked today on the largest experiment with private management ever mounted by an American school district, ceding much of the responsibility for nearly 30,000 public school children to outsiders, most notably the embattled company Edison Schools.
It was a first day of school unlike any other, as corporate managers and Ivy League professors consulted with elementary- and middle-school principals and even directed jittery parents and children to their newly stocked classrooms. The relative smoothness of opening day at the 45 schools participating in the experiment -- one of every six citywide -- was in stark contrast to the broader financial and political troubles of Edison, which is managing nearly half those schools.
In New York, top Edison officials huddled at their Fifth Avenue headquarters in anticipation of an after-school conference call with Wall Street analysts.
But Wall Street's anxiety only increased after the company disclosed the results of its latest fiscal year, which ended on June 30. Although Edison's net revenue grew by a third, to $465 million from $350.5 million a year earlier, its losses more than doubled, to $86 million.
Those results were worse than most Wall Street analysts had predicted, and investors' disappointment was immediately apparent despite cost-cutting moves that included scrapping plans for a $125 million headquarters in Harlem. In after-hours trading, the company's share price -- already down more than 96 percent this year -- fell to 56 cents from today's official closing price of 71 cents. The stock had traded around $20 a share in January.Continue reading the main story
In the conference call, company executives assured analysts that Edison had enough cash to sustain it through the current school year without any disruption in operations.
In Philadelphia, Edison, which invented the fledgling business of operating public schools, is undertaking the most ambitious assignment in its 10-year history. But this summer it has lost several prominent clients, including Dallas, where Edison managed seven public schools.
Two days ago, H. Christopher Whittle, the chief executive and founder of Edison, put his estate in the Hamptons on the market for $46 million, in what appeared to be an effort to pay off personal debts resulting from the company's falling stock price.
Against this backdrop, the federal Department of Education is investigating whether the state panel overseeing the Philadelphia system followed proper bidding procedures in awarding Edison so many more schools than the other outside providers, which include two other for-profit companies, two universities and two nonprofit community development organizations.
Paul G. Vallas, the former leader of the Chicago public schools who was hired in July as the chief executive of the Philadelphia system, said there were contingency plans in the district's five-year contracts with Edison and the other outside managers, should they falter financially or not raise academic performance.
''If Edison went under tomorrow, fine, they're gone,'' Mr. Vallas said. ''The team, the principals, the teachers, the curriculum, the instructional models remain intact.''
For much of the last year, this city has been debating whether democracy is eroded if a government relinquishes the job of educating its citizens to a private company. But today, on the first day of school, such questions were brushed aside.
''I'm excited about the children learning,'' said Loretta Harris, a graduate student in education who is helping Ruby McClain teach third-grade reading at Benjamin B. Comegys Elementary, an Edison-run school in Southwest Philadelphia. ''I don't care who provides the curriculum.''
Christopher Pettey, 5, had never heard of Edison. All he knew was that he could not wait to start kindergarten at Comegys, where his sister, Sabria, 9, goes to school.
''I want to write,'' Christopher said as he bounded up the steps of the four-story, brown brick building with his sister and his mother. ''I want to do some homework. I want to do math.'' Christopher was so eager to start school he had gotten there a week early. Kindergarten starts next week.
The future of Edison may hinge on how it executes its assignment at Comegys, with its 425 students, and at the other 19 schools in Philadelphia.
The enormity of the task could be glimpsed in the educational history of Roy Robinson, 7. Roy, who says he likes to color and play with his friends, was about to start his second year as a first grader at Comegys.
His mother, Lakeisha Robinson, 25, said that Roy had recently been found to have bipolar disorder and attention deficit disorder, and had been placed on medication.
Ms. Robinson said she hoped that the new Edison management would mean a better year for Roy. ''I'm willing to try new things if it helps my son prosper,'' she said.
Thanks to Edison, her son will get the benefit of new textbooks, newly trained teachers, an emphasis on discipline and community. He will also get gym class -- and gym equipment, like basketballs and balance beams -- which because of budgetary constraints did not exist at Comegys last year.
Upstairs, in Room 306, it was Ruby McCain's first day of her first year as a teacher. Her third graders were writing one paragraph about what they want to learn this year.
One 8-year-old boy thought for a while and then printed painstakingly in pencil: ''I lera how to spell big words. I wunt to lera abot animals.''
Checking the boy's work and obviously concerned, Ms. McCain nevertheless encouraged him by telling him she would help him learn how to spell ''big words'' this year.
Not far away at William Cullen Bryant School, the principal, Arlene Morris-Balaban, was consulting with two professors from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education, which has been assigned to help oversee her school this year.
Ms. Morris-Balaban, who was entering her second year as a principal at Bryant, said she welcomed the help in getting her 620 students up to grade level in reading and math.
''You are very isolated as an administrator,'' she said. ''It's nice I can talk things through with someone to make decisions.''Continue reading the main story

I guess there are as many views on this subject as there are enthusiasts but isn't Airspace now representing British and Commonwealth aircraft since B.Ae Systems put up some of the money. In that case the Dove should qualify as it was a sales success and the TSR-2 as an advance in technology (debate!). I certainly think the Viscount should be under cover as one of the oldest and most successful turboprop airliners in existence. How you reconcile that to a "war" museum is further grounds for debate.
Where does this leave the Shack and Victor??
"Merlins always drip oil, when they don't....worry!"
I personally think it it more to do with space than not wanting them as over the years the museums collection has grown and with that growth has come less space which is why they turned down large aircraft preservations (Nimrod
, VC10 & maybe C130) as they would rather have everything inside for future use.
If you think about it everything i pretty much inside and the aircraft that sat outside are now all in (of the museums aircraft) including long term outsiders like the Shack and the Victor, even the rotting B52 got inside with the AAM.
Goodness, Gracious Great Balls Of Fire
True but unless you apply some sort of anti corrosion protection to slow down the corrosion present, the airframes will continue to deteriorate even inside a building especially after decades of outside storage.
"Merlins always drip oil, when they don't....worry!"
So in the glorified greenhouse that is the AAM the B29 and B52 will soon be heaps of scrap...
Dove, Concorde, Comet and so on arent owned by IWM, so are irrelevant in this instance.
The DAS airframes are with a lodger organisation. As with any landlord / tenant arrangement things change ! I would not discount the airliner line up outside as being immune from any reshaping of the collection . The BAC 1-11 and Herald I would judge as 'at risk'.
So is there actually a complere list of what might be up for disposal?
Pass the remote
Which a/c are going, and where? What is the logic in disposing of the "JU52" and the Avenger? There is little chance of a genuine JU52 joining the collection?
a lot of work would have gone into restoring them.
The Amiot AAC.1 was built by the French and last flown by the Portugese Air Force. Whilst nice its only representative of the type.
Here is a list of some of what was being considerd in January from the Historic Military Vehicle forum. Mainly vehicles and engines
Dave Charles
Historian 607 (County of Durham) Squadron
Vice Chair North East Land Sea Air Museums (NELSAM)
Seems ridiculous hanging it from the roof! If it stays there I reckon they should retract the undercarriage and have it dropping a dummy torpedo, complete with a mannequin of Bush in the cockpit...
Oh good [/irony]
It must be months since we've had a "Why hang aircraft on display" discussion
How complete is the Avenger internally?
Regarding the B-29 in England, did YB-29 #41-36393 land at Duxford while it was visiting the UK in 1944? I know it made several stops at various RAF airfields but I can't remember if Dux was included and I'm away from my file cabinet. Thanks.
Apathy is as powerful as any bulldozer and equally cherished by developers. Others cannot measure the importance of our heritage with OUR silence.

The only name I remember is Glatton, which I am unfamiliar with, but I know "Hobo Queen" made several stops in the UK. Just can't remember where.
Glatton is the present day Peterborough Conington I think.
Besides, the Ju52/3m is an important and distinctive WW2 type, and one which my son (who is 5) recognises and is looking forward to seeing when we visit Duxford (his first visit) this year.
Duxford would be a poorer place without aircraft like this.
If disposals are inevitable, and these decisions aren't taken lightly, then it makes sense to dispose of aircraft which aren't actually on site (for example, those at Coventry, Dumfries and Flixton) first.
'You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!'
Reading this thread, i have some questions. On the list there above is a Gypsy Major, does anyone know if its still available? if so who do i have to i have to contact at the IWM?
Thanks in advance

Lenovo, the Chinese manufacturer, who is in the first position when it comes to PC market recently entered the smartphone market with the launch of five handsets in its IdeaPhone lineup including A60+, S880, P700i, K860 and S560 in the price range of Rs 6,499 to Rs 28,499.
Now, it seems like Lenovo is prepping to compete with hot sellers – Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X, the two handsets that have recently received the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean upgrade with IdeaPhone P770.
A recent Tech 2 report confirms that Lenovo will be uncovering IdeaPhone P770 in India in December. The report also claims that the handset could be priced around Rs 15,000 to Rs 18,000 and that Lenovo could hike price as P770 comes with solid specifications.
What features to expect?
Earlier reports claim that the handset will sport a 4.5 inch IPS display, dual core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 4GB internal memory, micro SD card slot supporting expandable storage up to 32GB, 5MP rear camera, VGA front camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS and a whopping 3,500 mAh battery delivering up to 29 hours of talk time.
Competition with Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X
As Lenovo IdeaPhone P770 is rumored to run on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS, when it comes to India, it will step into a direct fight with Galaxy S3 and One X - the Android heavyweights that are yielding good sales in the country.
When it comes to Samsung Galaxy S3, the hottest selling handset of the year packs a 4.8 inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. It is powered by a quad core 1.4GHz Exynos 4 quad processor and 1GB RAM. Further, it has an 8MP rear camera with autofocus and LED flash, 1.9MP front camera for video calling and a 2,100 mAh Li-ion battery.
As far as One X is concerned, the handset houses a 4.7 inch Super LCD 2 capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, quad core 1.5GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 chipset, 8MP rear camera, 1.3MP front camera for video calling, 16GB/32GB internal storage, 1GB RAM, Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth, NFC and a 1,800 mAh Li-ion battery offering up to 8 hours backup.
Analyzing the specs, Lenovo IdeaPhone is no deal-breaker as compared to One X and Galaxy S3, but the handset is rumored to come with a marathon 3,500 mAh Li-ion battery offering 29 hours talk time, which is jaw-breaking. Moreover, if IdeaPhone P770 is priced lesser than Rs 25,000, Lenovo could definitely slash the sales of Galaxy S3 and One X as they are priced starting at Rs 34,900 and Rs 32,210 respectively.

I've been a long time admirer of xenforo, but had to use VB for a recent project due to integration with other software.
I've now been able to get around this and looking forward to moving to xenforo.
My question is:
How do I get all my data from VB to use in the XF importer?
It's a small forum I use for support, so there's only around 100 users and not that many posts.

Washington, Jan 1 (ANI): Ahead of the royal wedding in April, a leading hair replacement brand has reached out to Britain's Prince William to help him cure his growing bald patch.
"We've been watching Prince William's growing bald spot closely for years and we believe Rogaine can help," 3 am quoted a rep for Rogaine as saying.
"When he's on the altar and the world is looking at the back of his head, he won't have to worry about the hair that's not there," he added.
The company is also eyeing to make the young prince their official spokesman if the treatment proves a success.
"William would be the perfect spokesman for Rogaine because whether you're a prince or an average Joe, hereditary hair loss affects one in four men," said the rep. (ANI)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/12/2013 (1330 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
City snow plowing crews will be kicking off the new year by hitting main streets starting Jan. 1 at 7 p.m.
The city will be announcing today a grader plowing operation of the city's P1 and P2 streets. These are the city's main regional streets as well as collector streets and bus routes.
To help the plowing effort, the city will implement a declared snow route parking ban starting Jan. 2 at midnight, with the ban on parking on these streets lasting daily from midnight to 7 a.m. until further notice.
In the meantime, the declared snow route parking ban that had been in effect will be lifted for Monday and Tuesday nights, giving New Year's revellers an additional two hours of late-night parking time on snow routes.
The declared snow route parking ban extends the regular annual snow route parking ban -- which is in effect daily from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. -- by two hours.

I have a user that is unable to use the Search, Run or Help & Support links off the XP Start Menu. Whenever he clicks on any of these items, it prompts him to create a shortcut on the desktop. I have searched for resolutions but can't seem to find any. If we change to Classic Start Menu, the links work as expected. Has anyone else encountered anything similar? Any ideas?

What kind of environment is the system in, an AD domain, workgroup, or standalone? Look in the event viewer for errors. When did this start to happen? You may be able to revert back a day or two if System Restore has be enabled.
Feb 24, 2012 at 1:00 UTC
If you are on a domain you should be able to use group policy to remove items from the start menu
Feb 24, 2012 at 9:06 UTC
We are in an AD domain. I am not sure when the problem started. I was told last week, but it had been going on for quite some time, so I don't think System Restore is an option. With regard to group policy, I am not trying to remove the items from the Start Menu, I am trying to get them to work properly. All 3 of the links (Run, Help and Search) when clicked from the Start Menu give an error and ask to create a shortcut on the desktop. I am baffled as to why the same links will work off the Classic Start Menu. I would think they would be pointing to the same file or be looking at the same registry setting.
Feb 24, 2012 at 1:09 UTC
Check this site, and try the "Restore to XP Default" option.
Mar 1, 2012 at 9:16 UTC
I have tried the suggestions from kellys-korner and have the same results. I have tried reinstalling SP3 also. As I mentioned, the buttons on the Classic Start Menu work fine, it is just if we try to use the default XP Start Menu. The behavior is the same for all users, not profile specific.
Any other ideas? If not, I guess we will have to reformat and rebuild.

O'Reilly Releases "Mac OS X Panther Hacks"Ideas, tweaks, hacks, and code for making the most of your Mac (July 15, 2004)
"Mac OS X Panther Hacks" (O'Reilly, US $29.95) celebrates the Macintosh's adventurous spirit with loads of ideas, tweaks, hacks, and code to inspire and guide serious Mac users to get the very most out of their machines--and have more fun with them at the same time.
"Regardless of your skill level--basic user, accomplished user, power user, or wild-eyed developer--you'll find many of the tools you need built right into the system. Because of this rich set of features, there's a way for almost everyone to dig and enjoy the system by hacking on it," say authors and Mac folks Rael Dornfest and James Duncan Davidson. "Combine this with the veritable cornucopia of third-party applications and cottage industry of customizations, tweaks, and hacks, and you've a Mac to be reckoned with like never before."
"Mac OS X Panther Hacks" is a collection of tips, tricks, and tools gleaned from the real-world experience of Unix experts and die-hard Macintosh users who know how to customize and modify their hardware and software to meet their exacting needs and desires. The book provides direct, hands-on solutions arranged by category: graphical user interface (GUI); scripting; web, chat, and mail; multimedia; gadgets and hardware; networking and network applications; servers; files and backup; and system administration.
The book covers user interface, accessories (iPods, USB devices, mobile phones, PDAs), wired and wireless networking (Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth), email and web servers and clients, messaging (iChat and associated applications), printing and faxing (sharing printers, fax servers), and much more. The hacks in the book range from the quick and easy to the more complex, and they teach readers how to:
-Discover and hack Panther's interface improvements and delve into the menu tweaks, folder spindles, keyboard and mouse hacks, haxies, and desktop widgets
-Interweave Mac's own AppleScript with Perl, Python, Ruby, and shell scripting
-Interact with peers, family, friends, and virtual buddies using best-of-breed mail, web, instant messaging, and other collaborative tools
-Draw outside of the otherwise nice, clean lines of iLife, remixing the hitherto disparate bits of audio, video, and other multimedia content flowing through a digital hub
-Draw in and exchange data with WiFi- and Bluetooth-networked devices and FireWire and USB drives, dongles, and third-party devices, and interact with other Macs, Windows and Unix machines, PDAs, and cell phones
-Turn a Mac into a full-fledged web and mail server
-Discover, plan, and execute a backup strategy to keep a handle on the chore of storing, organizing, maintaining, and protecting vital data
-Perform regular maintenance and security tasks to keep the Mac running smoothly and reliably
For those who want more than the average Mac user--those who want to explore and experiment, unearth shortcuts, create useful tools, and come up with fun things to try on their own--"Mac OS X Panther Hacks" delivers.
Additional Resources:
Several sample hacks are available online at: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/0596007183/chapter/index.html

It was a great experience
Submitted by Helene Hasler | June 10, 2015
Wahoe Commune has many different different projects all over India and Nepal. I had the pleasure to visit a few of them. My first, longest and most important stop was in Delhi, where I was working in the slum school run by Wahoe, teaching English to about 30 children in a small room. It really is an experience to see how the dirt, the waste, the poverty, and basically the whole environment becomes unimportant once you see how passionate these children are to learn. I actually felt like I can really help them; like my input actually gives them something for the future. It was a great experience and i got close with the staff, all people of the organisation and the children really fast so it was even harder to leave Delhi.
My whole time in Delhi I learned a lot about India, poverty and chances to change something. Everyone who really is interested in learning those things, about changing something should work with Wahoe for a while!!

It was really easy for me to find Santan at the airport which was very nice because I was a little nervous when I first got off the plane. I felt very comfortable traveling with him from the airport to the Wahoe commune location. It was great that you organized my travel to the other Wahoe sites in Pabbar valley and Rishikesh.
I really enjoyed the history/culture section of the orientation, I did not know much about Indian history or festivals. It was a nice was to be introduced to the country and to get to know you a little better. As a single female traveler it was great to get advice from a woman.
Going to the school was wonderful. The children were excited and wanted to teach me Hindi. The teacher and two of the students walked me back to the commune after class. I was so thankful to have them lead me back, as I would have gotten lost alone.
I was warned that traveling in India can be very difficult, although my time with Wahoe has been easy and fun. All of the members at the commune have made me feel very comfortable and safe in this space.

Let's face it. You most likely want to be tan, especially if you're heading to a beach vacation in the upcoming weeks. But something really scary that comes with the "tan" territory is the increased risk of developing skin cancer. Skin cancer is something that is way too real and can happen to anyone.
But the good news is the number of amazing sunless tanners on the market today is astounding. You can chose between mousses (our personal favorite), creams, lotions or sprays. So there are zero reasons you can't lather up with 50 SPF and be perfectly sun-kissed at the same time. But there are three self tanner laws that you must abide for the perfect streak-less tan.
Sunless Tanner Law #1: Exfoliate. This step is so important and often forgotten. When you apply tanner onto unexfoliated skin, you're more likely to end up with a patchy tan. You wouldn't apply paint to a sandy canvas, so don't do it to your gorgeous skin. And guess what you probably have some "exfoliant" right in your cabinet, try raw sugar to skip the chemicals.
Sunless Tanner Law #2: Dry Patch Prevention. Grab your favorite lotion and rub it on your feet, ankles, knees, hands, palms, wrists and elbows before grabbing your tanner. These areas tend to be driest and will suck in that sunless tanner like a hummingbird sucking down nectar. And nothing looks more like a fake tan than orange palms!
Sunless Tanner Law #3: Moisture. Once you have taken your first shower and rinsed off any sunless tan residue, keep your tan looking fresh with moisturizer. Apply it everyday for the longest self-tan possible. The moisturizer will also prevent an uneven tan as the tan fades.
Now you're ready to rock that gorgeous tan on the beach and don't forget to put on some sunscreen!

ALMA MEDIA CORP. STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 15 June 2000 at 10.00 am 1/4 ALMA MEDIAS CORPORATE STRUCTURE FOCUSED ON GROWTH INDUSTRIES Alma Media will form its business-to-business publishing into a separate business area. Alprints regional newspaper printing units will be transferred to Alpress, and Alprint will subsequently specialise in magazine printing and digital prepress asset management. Alprint will cancel the planned replacement investment in a printing press for its Vantaa unit. The released cash flow will be mainly used to finance new-media development projects. Alma Media Groups corporate structure will be changed to match future strategic priorities. Alma Media is seeking organic growth in content production and new-media. Production of economic information and its distribution through papers and TV and in particular through dedicated and mobile networks is the most dynamically growing media sector. New technologies provide possibilities to offer consumers new economic information services and products. Newspaper printing is an essential element for the production process of Alma Medias regional daily papers. For this reason, Alprints regional newspaper printing units will be organisationally integrated with Alpress. As a result of the changed market situation, Alprint has decided to cancel the replacement investment in a hybrid newspaper rotation for its Kaivoksela unit in Vantaa. Alprint will specialise in offering one-stop shop services to customers who need heat set and special printing products. Business-to-business publishing into a separate business area Alma Media will form business-to-business publishing into a separate business area. New services and products to professional investors will be based both on printed media and dedicated networks and on real-time information distributed over mobile networks. The area will comprise Kauppalehti, Kauppalehti Online and Kauppalehti Optio as well as the new operations involving production and distribution of economic information. Mr. Juha Blomster, M.Sc. (Econ.), has been appointed President of the company as from 1 September 2000. He is currently the President of Kustannus Oy Aamulehti. Mr. Blomster who has also been appointed member of Alma Media Corporations Group Executive Board from the same date will report to Alma Media Corporations President and CEO, Mr. Matti Packalén. Kauppalehtis Executive Editor-in-Chief, Mr. Lauri Helve, will continue as publisher of Kauppalehti and member of Kustannus Oy Kauppalehtis Board of Directors and Alma Medias Group Executive Board. Cross-media product Saldo will be launched in September 2000 The new business area will launch a cross-media product called Saldo. Saldo includes a Friday supplement delivered to subscribers of Kauppalehti, targeted mainly at private households and individual investors. The themes addressed in Saldo will also be discussed in a weekly program on MTV3 and on the Internet. The Saldo concept will also include a mutual fund, Conventum Aktive, launched in co-operation with Conventum Fund Management Limited. Conventum Aktive is a domestic balanced fund and the minimum subscription is EUR 1,000. It is the first mutual fund in Finland where all the holdings can be publicly monitored on an ongoing basis. The portfolio manager of the fund is Conventum. The performance of the fund, its portfolio and investment decisions will be analysed in the magazine, on TV and Saldo Internet pages. A virtual fund, Saldo Interactive, will be established on Internet simultaneously with Conventum Aktive. At launch its holdings will be identical with the actual Conventum Aktive Fund. In fact, persons who have invested in the fund can make online investment proposals in the virtual fund where they will also be given consideration. The performance of the virtual balanced fund and investment decisions will be monitored and the performance of the fund will be compared with Conventum Aktive.

Aamulehtis management Mr. Heikki Saraste, whose main responsibility is to lead the Alpress business area, has been appointed Kustannus Oy Aamulehtis President as from 1 September 2000. Mr. Kai Telanne has been appointed Executive Vice President, responsible for marketing, effective from the same date. Mr. Matti Apunen will continue as Executive Editor-in- Chief. Alprints regional newspaper printing presses to Alpress Newspaper printing is a critical element in the publishing of morning newspapers in Alma Media. In line with this strategy, Alprints newspaper printing units in Tampere, Pori, Rovaniemi and Kajaani will be transferred to the organisation of Alpress from the beginning of 2001. The present capacity situation of cold set products will enable several newspapers of Alpress to implement a make-or-buy strategy. Iltalehti, one of the major Alpress papers, is currently partly printed externally. Alprint will continue to be responsible for the sales of tabloid printing capacity and for purchases of paper and other materials. Alprint will specialise in magazines and other heat set products In the past year, Alprint has developed its organisation to meet market demand. Alprint will from now on concentrate all its magazine printing operations in a production unit completed in May 2000 at Rahola, Tampere. Alprints Vantaa and Pori units that specialise in magazine printing will be closed down before autumn. Alprints profitability will significantly improve from the beginning of 2001 as a result of these measures. As the printing of daily papers will be transferred from Alprint to Alpress, Alprint will focus especially on printing of magazines and other heat set products. The production unit at Rahola, Tampere, will have the most sophisticated machinery and finishing capacity in Scandinavia. Rahola unit builds networks with other service producers within this industry both in pre-press operations and printing. Digital pre-press asset management is a key development priority for Alprint. Due to the changed domestic market situation and the adjusted internal strategic line of Alma Media Group, Alprint has decided to discontinue the Altti 2001 project intended to replace the printing machine of the Kaivoksela unit in Vantaa during 2001. The estimated value of the cancelled investment was about FIM 140 million. Alprint will initiate negotiations with personnel and analyse the impacts of the cancellation on the operations of the Kaivoksela production unit. Publisher, Executive Editor-in-Chief Lauri Helve: "The circulation, advertisement sales and performance of Kauppalehti have developed extremely positively. Kauppalehtis business-to- business operation will expand especially in the electronic services. The sustainable development of the company will require increased investments in management resources. Managing the business of this company is no longer a part-time job." According to Mr. Helve, the decision to cancel the printing machine investment will not affect Kauppalehtis future plans. "Two years ago, Kauppalehti launched a project to change the format of the paper into a totally four-colour economic tabloid paper. The cancellation decision will accelerate the change, and our objective is to have the capabilities in place to introduce the new format by the year-end", Mr. Helve says. President and CEO Matti Packalén: Mr. Matti Packalén mentions that the organisational change and the cancellation of the printing machine investment will release resources that can be directed to future growth areas. Forming business-to-business publishing into a separate business area will strengthen its development. According to Mr. Packalén, by cancelling the investment, the Group can release a significant cash flow during this and next year. These funds will now be redirected to new development projects, mainly in new media.

NFL Kicker Rob Bironas Was Interested in Songwriting Before Tragic Death
Former NFL kicker Rob Bironas had taken interest in writing songs for famous country hitmakers prior to his tragic death in Nashville over the weekend.
Former NFL kicker Rob Bironas had taken interest in writing songs for famous country hitmakers prior to his tragic death in Nashville over the weekend.
Lucinda Williams says that she doesn't pay much heed to mainstream country music, but that it doesn't mean modern artists aren't talented.
Willie Nelson is showing everyone that even at 81, he's still utterly capable of making big things happen in country music -- like notching No. 1 albums. The legend's new record, 'Band of Brothers,' just debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country chart.
While stars like Jamey Johnson and Blake Shelton are still reeling from singer-songwriter Wayne Mills' sudden passing, funeral arrangements are being made.
Colt Ford made a fan of Ronnie Dunn during a live show a few years ago. The country legend admits in this behind-the-scenes video that he quickly judged Ford, but after hearing his show, he understood. In fact, he joined him to sing the chorus of 'Mr. Goodtime' on the 'Ride Through the Country Revisited' album.
Wayne Mills, leader of the outlaw-country Wayne Mills Band, was killed during an altercation with a bar owner in Nashville early Saturday morning (Nov. 23). Police say Pit and Barrel owner Chris Ferrell shot the 44-year-old. Ferrell said the 5AM shooting was in self-defense.
George Jones was an unforgettable country music performer, so it's fitting that his farewell concert lineup at Bridgestone Arena is, well, unforgettable. The full performer list has been revealed, and it's chock full of some of today's most influential acts, as well as yesterday's favorites.
If George Jones were still alive, he'd likely be mighty pleased to see the talented roster for his farewell concert.
Scotty McCreery is right up there with Carrie Underwood (and, to an extent, Kelly Clarkson) as one of the most successful country music alums from 'American Idol.' Over the weekend, McCreery -- who won Season 10 back in 2011 and is prepping his sophomore album -- took to Twitter to give fans the inside scoop on how the show works. He lived it, so he would know.
The legendary George Jones has been admitted to a Nashville hospital after a routine checkup revealed a slight fever and irregular blood pressure. A statement from the singer's publicist says he is being kept for observation, and weekend shows scheduled for Atlanta, Ga. and Salem, Va. have been postponed.
The legendary George Jones may be retiring, but not before staging what's shaping up to be one of the most impressive farewell concerts in country music history. The 81-year-old entertainer will be joined by a huge roster of celebrity guests at his final concert, and he's just added Billy Ray Cyrus, 'American Pie' singer Don McLean and (somewhat improbably) pop star Cyndi Lauper to the roster.

Genuardi's supermarkets in Egg Harbor and Barnegat townships are being offered for sale, a spokesman for Safeway Inc., the parent company, said Thursday.
Giant Food Stores will purchase most of the Genuardi's Family Markets supermarket chain and convert 16 of the stores in Pennsylvania to its own brand, both companies announced. The two local stores are not part of that deal, Safeway spokesman Greg TenEyck said.
"This will be the end of Genuardi's," a 27-store chain in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, TenEyck said Thursday. "Between now and (final sale), it's business as usual at the stores. They will remain open and continue to operate until a buyer can be found."
Safeway decided to exit the Philadelphia market to concentrate on areas of the country where it has a stronger presence, TenEyck said. The company, headquartered in Pleasanton, Calif., has about 128 stores in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and Washington, D.C., but has a stronger presence in the western part of the country.
Of the stores not included in the Giant deal, Pennsylvania stores in Norristown, Exton and Royersford will close, TenEyck said. The other eight supermarkets, including those in Egg Harbor Township and Barnegat, are being offered for sale. The other two New Jersey Genuardi's stores are in Evesham Township, Burlington County, and Cherry Hill, Camden County.
Safeway will work with the buyers to make a smooth transition and will try to keep as many employees as possible, Steve Neibergall, president of Safeway's Eastern Division, said in a statement. The purchase is expected to close within six months.
The Genuardi's on Bay Avenue in Barnegat opened in November 1999. The Egg Harbor Township store opened in February 2001 in what was then a new shopping center on Fire Road. At the time, members of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1358 picketed the store, claiming Genuardi's pays lower wages than unionized supermarkets.
Christopher Brand, a spokesman for Carlisle, Pa.-based Giant Food Stores, said Thursday that he could not discuss the details of the sale or why the New Jersey Genuardi's stores were not included.
Giant did have a short presence in the region, when a Super G market opened in May 2003 at Jimmie Leeds and Pitney roads in Galloway Township. It later became a Stop & Shop, another subsidiary of parent company Ahold USA. That store closed, and ShopRite took over the space in October 2007.
Shoppers at the Egg Harbor Township Genuardi's on Thursday afternoon said it is a convenient location with friendly employees. How they feel about losing Genuardi's depends on what will take its place.
"I'm sad," said Margaret Mower, of Northfield. "Everybody was helpful here. If you ask where something is, they take you there," and not leave you to find it on your own.
Mower said Genuardi's is close to her home and has good prices.
"I don't want it to change. I'm here all the time," said Erin Lichtenwalner, of Egg Harbor Township. "This is my third time here this week."
Lichtenwalner said Genuardi's employees are always friendly, and she likes the fact that the company makes a concerted effort to hire people with disabilities.
"The only thing that would make me happier is if a Wegman's or a Whole Foods bought it," she said.
Genuardi's is close to home, "and they have really good meat here," said Amy Lotz, of Northfield.
"I hope they make it a ShopRite, because ShopRite has better prices and the ShopRites in the area are very crowded," Lotz added.
Jean Prescott, of Egg Harbor Township, said she just hopes the store remains open, in whatever form.
"As long as it's not closing. We need a place to shop here," Prescott said. "There are a lot of apartments over here where people walk over," and many of the residents don't have cars.
Dean Shissias, of Egg Harbor Township, said he usually shops at the ShopRite in Somers Point for better prices but came to Genuardi's to pick up a few items he forgot on his last trip.
"I wouldn't miss it terribly," Shissias said. "But it's a nice center, a beautiful location."

The 159-horsepower, 2.7-liter four-cylinder that's standard on some models of the Tacoma somehow manages quite well—provided you're not trying to move too quickly or take too much of a load. Reviewers tend to like the base four-cylinder, a trusty, torquey workhorse of an engine. Car and Driver says they'd choose "to power a backup generator for a field hospital," but it's not going to win any races. Edmunds.com advises, "owners planning on frequent hauling or towing will certainly want to choose the V6."
The 4.0-liter V-6 that's offered on the rest of the lineup provides a completely different personality, as it produces 236 horsepower and a noteworthy 266 pound-feet of torque—enough to move the Tacoma quickly even when you have a heavy load. To back up their subjective impressions, The Auto Channel posts a fleet 7.8-second run to 60 mph with a heavily optioned 4WD, long-bed Double Cab V-6, and describes the engine as yielding a "smooth and usable broad spread of power." ConsumerGuide praises the aural quality of the 4.0-liter V-6, particularly its "refined growl under acceleration."
Both the four-speed (four-cylinder) and five-speed (V-6) automatic transmissions are generally praised for smooth and seamless operation, Cars.com finds the six-speed manual a bit notchy and claims it "makes shifting gears more difficult than in some other trucks." Nonetheless, Car and Driver celebrates the number of ratios in both transmissions paired with the V-6, contending "there's a reason the big rigs have dozens of gears, and laden with payload, the Tacoma's extra ratios, both manual and automatic, will be celebrated."
One very useful feature that aids performance and safety on steep, slippery slopes is Downhill Assist Control—a feature usually reserved for luxury vehicles from manufacturers such as BMW and Range Rover. Motor Trend says that the optional feature "automatically pulses the brakes to maintain a steady five-mph speed while descending steep trails and tracks." With the Off-Road package, there's a differential lock, while non-off-road Tacomas use an electronic system, employing the anti-lock brakes.
Provided you choose the four-cylinder engine, the Tacoma is quite fuel-efficient. Ratings go as high as 20 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, while the V-6, 2WD or 4WD models with the automatic rate at just 16/20 mpg. Car and Driver editors averaged 18 mpg over 3,964 miles of Alaskan terrain in a V-6 model.
Ride and handling are a low point for the 2010 Toyota Tacoma; it handles like a truck—which is to say that the steering is good and communicative, but the ride is hard and bumpy. Push a little too hard over bumps and the tires simply lose contact. Maneuverability is another disappointment; the mid-size proportions of the newer Tacoma don't allow it to turn around any easier than a full-size truck. Driving the street-oriented X-Runner, Autoblog reinforces others' impressions of a bouncy ride and numb steering, lamenting that "even though the X-Runner adds another brace to boost steering feel, the truck still comes up short."
But if you intend to take the Tacoma off-road, you won't be disappointed. The Auto Channel finds the Tacoma "excels in off-road situations and is reasonably comfortable on the street. But depending on how it's equipped and whether it's carrying a load or not, the Tacoma can seem skittish or bouncy at times."

As one of the biggest news which is going on right now about the divorce of Angeline Jolie and Brad Pitt, their marriage which is not very older and has completed only around two years is not getting any solution to their personal issues and they decided seriously to gave away their relation and will be going to take divorce.
This news has been the buzz for a very long time, but the spark took place when both the lawyers of the parties have started blaming each other for the reason behind the divorce. The new and latest news which as been confirmed about them is that they will not going to face any major issues for their divorce and will go to do-up all the things at once without marking any lagging in the decision. The buzz for not getting a great understanding since the very first day of their marriage and all the big buzzing channels have been waiting for official confirmation of this news.
The couple has almost 12 properties together, of which 7 is of Brad Pitt and 2 is of Angelina Jolie and the left 3 is brought after they get into this relation which was in 2014.
The news for the 3 left is still unclear that who will get how much from the left three properties, the three properties include a vineyard in France, a Mansion in New Orleans and an Apartment in NY, but the twisting news is that there will be a prenup which will make divvying that up to small.
There are so many speculations about the custody of the six children will be given to whom. Angelina too denies to make any connection with her estranged husband and now she has chosen to not making any contact with her at all and will never again and she too blocked him from everywhere, all this news has seriously hurt the 52 year old very renown actor Pitt and he has been completely devastated with this divorce, she is also not believing this decision that Angelina has thrown him out of her life. This news has become one of the biggest sensation throughout the internet and social media.
While Brad is still in shock that she would have done this without even giving him notice. She has just filed a case against him just before the closing of court on Monday night and she comes without any lawyer, totally alone.
Brad can still try to take down all the problems and will found every possible method to work out the problems, and the news has been confirmed by his friend. He is also very much worried about the kids and who will get the responsibility of the kids.

Title: Location of Steamhead
Post by: Cindy on February 05, 2009, 06:16:39 PM
Does anyone have any info on what the ideal location is for the steam head?
From what I have been reading, each manufacturer seems to say something different on distance from the floor and distance from the control.
If it helps, for my project, my shower is cultured marble and is 29" deep by 44" wide by 83" high.
The 29" wall is the left & right wall. The right wall has my shower fixtures and the left wall is the seating area.
One 44" wall is cultured marble with corner caddies and the other 44" wall is the sliding glass doors.
Title: Re: Location of Steamhead
Post by: Misty on February 12, 2009, 10:51:26 AM
First you need to know what options your particular installation will allow. Your contractor may be restricted by the existing structure of your shower.
Ideally, the steam head would be located in one of two locations for the environment you describe: either on the back wall, roughly 12" from the right wall and 8-12" off the floor; or centered on the right wall itself, roughly 8-12" off the floor. The control should be located near the seat and roughly head-height or 4' off the floor.
Read the following information for more detailed information on steam heads http://www.steamsaunabath.com//catalog/all_about_steam_rooms_head.php#head (http://www.steamsaunabath.com//catalog/all_about_steam_rooms_head.php#head)

"Not a very caring service here - avoid if you can"
About: University College Hospital University College Hospital London NW1 2BU
Posted by Anonymous
What I liked
What could be improved
The doctor that I saw treated me like a child throughout the examination.
First they lost my notes, sent me home to use my own medication as she said they would not supply them. They phoned me later as arranged to let me know that they'd found my notes and that there was no need to come back.
Then they wrote to my GP stating that I had walked out contrary to their advice!
Anything else?
Doctors should treat patients as people and not hospital numbers. I have a feeling that they only want to tick boxes.

Strolling in a Bucolic New Jersey Corner
By LISA W. FODERARO
Published: November 24, 1995
NEW JERSEY is known for many good things, from beefsteak tomatoes to Bruce Springsteen. But as a place to head for a quiet country weekend in late fall, the state usually falls off the radar of urbanites who drive north to Litchfield County in Connecticut or to the Hudson Valley in New York.
Well, commit this name to memory: Hunterdon County. Little known beyond New Jersey, Hunterdon is extraordinary for its rural beauty and urbane sensibility. In the last 10 to 15 years, it has sprouted enough restaurants, inns and interesting boutiques to become a natural extension of Bucks County, its better-known neighbor across the Delaware River in Pennsylvania. "What a wonderful place this is," wrote an unsuspecting visitor in the guest book of Hunterdon House, an Italianate Victorian bed-and-breakfast in the borough of Frenchtown. "With all the bad rap you hear about New Jersey, it's hard to believe that's where we are."
Indeed. With undulating farmland studded with wineries, and the Delaware flowing past such historic villages as Frenchtown and Stockton, Hunterdon entices comparisons not to Litchfield but to the Dordogne region in southwest France.
More than half the land is still actively farmed, and although Hunterdon is the second fastest growing county in the state, after Ocean County, it is the third least densely populated, after Salem and Sussex Counties. A Government-sponsored farmland preservation program has kept 29 working farms working, while gentlemen farmers and horsewomen like Gov. Christine Todd Whitman have made Hunterdon synonymous with hunt country. Missing from much of the landscape is the background static of suburban sprawl -- strip malls, billboards and the like. Instead there are long country roads flanked by woods, streams and at this time of year pale fields of withered cornstalks. The only surviving covered bridge in the state is here, too.
Plenty of Charm
The municipalities dotting the banks of the Delaware, from Milford in the north to Lambertville in the south, were once rough-and-tumble mill towns. But over the years most of the factories closed, and so far no new industry has swept through. This leaves the streetscapes -- neat but motley rows of Queen Anne, Georgian, Neo-Gothic and Federal architecture -- relatively untouched, like bees preserved in amber. Now tourism is a major industry. But it's an understated sort of tourism that doesn't feel stagy. A better name for it might simply be pleasure.
This is an especially pretty time of year to see Hunterdon. The chill in the air inspires walks by day and wood fires by night. And root vegetables, roast meats and mysteriously rich stocks have taken the front burner at local restaurants, among them two highly praised kitchens with well-respected chefs.
Staying for a weekend makes it possible to squeeze in all there is to do, from taking a quiet walk along the old canal towpath running along the river, now preserved as the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park, to stopping by a winery, to visiting tiny villages like Sergeantsville or larger towns like Lambertville, crammed with antiques stores, atmospheric gift shops and restaurants. A weekend trip will also do justice to the transporting experience that is the Ryland Inn, a white clapboard restaurant in Whitehouse whose chef, Craig C. Shelton, has worked with both Joel Robuchon in Paris and David Bouley in Manhattan.
There are a number of charming places to stay in the county. One popular lodging, and certainly the most whimsical building in Frenchtown, is Hunterdon House, a three-story olive stucco mansion with burgundy gingerbread trim and arched windows, set back from Bridge Street, the main thoroughfare. The inn, built in 1864, has seven rooms; the most spectacular is the William Apgar Room on the ground floor, with a working fireplace and a hand-carved headboard that soars seven feet above the bed.
Some of the decor strokes are slightly off, like the shade of powder blue chosen for the walls in the parlor and the vase of faded silk flowers on the stair landing. In general, though, the rooms are tastefully decorated in restrained Victoriana and carried by a few significant furnishings and Oriental rugs. The sort of personal kindness offered by a small inn was evident on a recent Saturday evening when the innkeeper, V. Eugene Refalvy, offered one of his dress shirts and a tie to a desperate guest who had forgotten his own.
Arts, Crafts and Pastries
The towns of Hunterdon County beckon to be walked through, their old buildings looked at, their occasionally eccentric shops browsed in. Frenchtown made a fine place to start on a recent visit. At the western end of Bridge Street is the Delaware River. Its swirling, mocha-colored waters, churned by a recent rain, moved swiftly south under a steel truss bridge whose heavy stone piers and abutments date back to 1843.
Along Bridge Street are a number of places worth discovering. The Bridge Cafe, housed in a former train station overlooking the river, has excellent baked goods. Arcadia, next door, offers a colorful selection of fine crafts: playfully conceived ceramics, glass objects, jewelry, clocks, mirrors and lamps. Across the street stands the Frenchtown Inn, a cozy brick restaurant built in 1805. (Its $18.95 brunch is for the hearty of appetite, including a basket of warm pastries, fruit cup, a choice of entrees ranging from eggs Benedict to leg of lamb, and dessert.)
