Excellent accommodation! Very clean and tidy, really well equipped, with a few really nice touches that really helped you explore the local area and the rest of London! Great recommendations and information available from Tiziana (the owner). Perfect place for exploring London. We arrived during the week when the local street market was on which was nice. Good street food and some really nice local pubs. The house is only a few minutes walk to the nearest tube, however we walked everywhere. Only had a short stay for my Mums birthday - wish we could've stayed longer. Would definitely recommend to anyone! Thank you Tiziana for such a lovely stay :0)Did you find this review helpful?

Overall this was a lovely apartment, in an excellent location with great amenities. TV (with satellite), hi-speed internet, great kitchen, and a beautiful, private balcony, and very secure. The owners were responsive and quick to address any issues and questions that arose. We would recommend this in the future. The only caveat is that, like many apartments in London, there is no AC. Although this is usually not a problem, we just happened to hit a heat wave.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/3

Hi Tiziana! We had a wonderful time in London staying in your flat. It fit our family perfectly! We loved the layout of the rooms with the bedrooms upstairs and the kitchen and living area on the main floor. My husband was excited about the Catholic Church next door and he attended Mass there on Sunday. As far as London goes, we did quite a lot with only three full days there. We saw all the usual tourist sites, took the river cruise, ate at a traditional pub and had high tea. We didn't see the changing of the guard but ironically, it was on TV right before we came and I watched it. We enjoyed watching the Jubilation on TV in the flat knowing there would be crowds at the Palace and we don't enjoy being in crowds--too claustrophobic! We also enjoyed a lovely dinner at OXO Tower which was very special! Thank you so much for all your help! Your kind assistance has helped to make this trip very enjoyable for us. I don't think anything could have gone better. It has all been great! Please thank Nick for us, also. He is so nice and told us a lot about London on the way to your flat. We will be happy to refer you to any friends and family that wish to experience living in London.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 7/7

We just returned from an incredible week's stay with our two teenage grandsons at this comfortable London flat. It is exactly as advertised and even better. Everything was above and beyond what we had expected. The home was comfortable, quiet, extremely clean and very cozy. It's well-stocked, close to the Tube and grocers and was a great location for exploring London. The owner's directions, local information and recommendations were helpful and welcomed. This home is equipped with everything needed to have an enjoyable and stress free stay. The family memories we were able to create at this wonderful London flat will be treasured for a lifetime.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you so much for your glowing review! It was an absolute pleasure to have you as our guests. We hope you will be back again sometimes in the future. We are very honoured to have given you wonderful memories of London!

We stayed for two months in the flat and had a perfect experience. The location is unbeatable, just a few steps from Chancery Lane Tube on the Central Line and a quick walk to or change at Holborn to the Picadilly line. There is a choice of every supermarket in the area - M&S, Waitrose and Tesco. Museums and Covent Garden are walking distance. The owner Tiziana takes a genuine interest in her guests' well-being and enjoyment.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, tourists without a car.

Pasamos la familia (con dos hijos teenagers) nueve días en casa de Tiziana en agosto 2012 y fue una experiencia estupenda y completamente diferente a los viajes de hotel que hemos hecho a Londres en otras ocasiones. La casa está muy bien cuidada y tiene mucho gusto. El suelo es de madera y no de moqqueta. Todo funcionaba correctamente aunque la lavadora iba a ser cambiada por otra nueva. Solo hay un cuarto de baño. La vivienda se encuentra en un segundo sin ascensor en el centro de Londres, pero lejos del meollo turístico, que se agradece, la verdad. Está a dos pasos del metro Chancery Lane. A pesar de ser un lugar céntrico, la terraza y las habitaciones dan a una plaza y zona peatonal por lo que es muy tranquila. Cerca encuentras buenos restaurantes (y no muy caros para ser Londres, hay uno coreano estupendo en Holborn Street y pubs ingleses con ingleses), supermercados para poder cocinar en la casa y el divertido Leather Lane Market a dos calles. Tiziana, que nos facilitó también el transporte ida y vuelta al aeropuerto, tiene una carpeta con todo tipo de explicaciones de la zona: cosas que ver, restaurantes, mercados, etc. Como hizo un tiempo caluroso disfrutamos mucho de la terraza de la casa cuando parábamos a descansar un rato. El alquiler es un poco alto como casi todo en Londres. Nuestro agradecimiento especial a Sebastián, que fue encantador y nos atendió a nuestra llegada y salida, facilitando información y ayuda. Ojalá podamos regresar en otra ocasión!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, tourists without a car.

My friends and I spent 10 days in London. The apartment was very well located. We could do everything by foot or subway (access right down the apartment). Couldn't be better. And the subway is so easy to use in London. We were 5 in the apartment at the same time and it was spacious enough for all of us. Would come back without a doubt.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, tourists without a car.

About the owner: Keiana was founded in 2012 by Tiziana and Keith based on their passion for travel. They wanted to put together their personal idea of holiday: luxury, comfort, space and individuality. Having gained 2 years experience with one flat in Central London, they have decided to expand in order to cope with the ever growing demand for holiday let apartments from their worldwide customer base. They have therefore created Keiana and are currently offering 2 luxurious apartments in London and a 3 bedroom House and expanded to Europe with one apartment in the charming city of Krakow, Poland. All of our apartments are based in fantastic locations and all decorated with a personal touch and style. When Tiziana and Keith designed the apartments they always had in mind what they would like to find in a home if they were staying there. All modern comforts, objects that reminded them of their travels, comfortable beds, high quality linens, Wifi, books, DVDs, music and toys for their children! Everything to make guests feel at home away from home.
Why the Owner Chose Camden:
This particular property is located in a fantastic position. In a quiet cul de sac overlooking a pretty square, still in one minute away from the buzzly High Holborn and short walk to Farringdon, Covent Garden and Clerkenwell.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment:
Walk to most of attractions, quiet, tastefully decorated, comfortable, homely and with all modern comforts.

I've checked into the developers/jcorgan/digital branch a program, run_length.py, that will read a binary file and output the statistics for runs of similar bits (either all zeros or all ones): $ dd if=/dev/urandom of=rand.dat bs=1500 count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1500 bytes (1.5 kB) copied, 0.000451 seconds, 3.3 MB/s $ ./run_length.py -f rand.dat Using rand.dat for data. Bytes read: 1500 Bits read: 12000 Runs of length 1 : 2994 Runs of length 2 : 1494 Runs of length 3 : 703 Runs of length 4 : 384 Runs of length 5 : 214 Runs of length 6 : 104 Runs of length 7 : 42 Runs of length 8 : 31 Runs of length 9 : 7 Runs of length 10 : 5 Runs of length 11 : 0 Runs of length 12 : 2 Sum of runs: 12000 bits Maximum run length is 12 bits $ So if you capture the the input to the modulator as a binary file, you can use this to probe the statistics of packets that fail and ones that succeed in your test cases. Of course, you need to capture the packet after it has been whitened, *not* the input payload from a file being sent. In the same developer branch, I've added the --from-file option to benchmark_tx.py. This allows you to transmit a continuous stream of packets in one direction, the contents of which are read from the given file. This eliminates the entire network stack and any bi-directional traffic issues from the picture. You use benchmark_rx.py on the receiving end to determine when a receive CRC error occurs. Now normally you'll get some of these due to noise, but if you run the benchmark_tx.py test over and over again and the same packets fail on receive, then you've identified the specific packet numbers whose contents seem to trigger the issue people have been seeing. I'll be adding a command-line parameter to the benchmark_tx.py to cause the whitened packet data to be logged to a file suitable for use with run_length.py, so this whole process can be automated. (Not done yet.) In general this issue "smells" like a pattern-specific failure in receiver synchronization, which are usually run length related, yet right now I have a failure case with a 12-bit run and a success case with a 17-bit run, so it's not absolutely clear that this is the issue, or not entirely. The suggestion to use 8b/10b line coding is an interesting experiment that could be run in parallel to other testing, but it's not clear yet that it would be attacking the right problem. The 25% performance penalty up front from such a line coding technique is a high price to pay without conclusive evidence it's not just shifting the problem elsewhere in the stream. There is an alternative that Eric and I have conceived that would be a temporary workaround. It would not solve the original problem but would at least allow upper level protocols that do re-transmission to recover from the failure. I'll talk about that once I've got it coded, tested, and into my developer branch. -- Johnathan Corgan Corgan Enterprises LLC http://corganenterprises.com

Courage defines 2011 IT project awards
SINGAPORE, 10 MARCH 2011 - The willingness to embrace new technology and methods are traits prominently featured among this year's prestigious CIO Asia CIO Awards winners.
The winners - selected by a panel of independent judges from a 'Roll of Honour' short list, the CIO 100 2011 Index - are Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA), Standard Chartered Bank, and three companies from India; Mahindra and Mahindra Financial Services (Mahindra Finance), Marico and RedBus.in.
The judging panel was impressed by Mahindra Finance, Marico and Standard Chartered, all who were willing to experiment and introduce mobile devices as well as applications to their business. RedBus.in scored points when it bravely moved its traditional and paper-based business completely onto the public cloud, while LTA's unique adoption of analytics to help in strategic urban transport planning received kudos from the judges.
The annual CIO 100 index, coordinated by leading regional enterprise IT magazine CIO Asia, published by Fairfax Business Media Asia, recognises regional enterprises and organisations that have excelled through creative and innovative IT projects in the past 12 months.
Here are the CIO 2011 Award winning projects:
Mahindra and Mahindra Financial Services (India): 'Biz Connect': This US$14.4 million 'Biz Connect' project combined technology including unified communications, RFID, green IT and biometrics, enabling financial services to be delivered to remote towns and rural villages via officers toting a hand-held GPRS - GSM based business device.
Marico (India): A comprehensive upgrade of this global beauty and wellness products company's IT platform created strategic benefits across the company's entire value chain in the fast moving consumer good industry.
RedBus.in (India): This private inter-city bus operator moved its entire business onto the cloud to facilitate and drive its growth.
Land Transport Authority (LTA) (Singapore): The PLANET (Planning for Land Transport Network) project is a data warehousing initiative designed to carry out advanced predictive algorithms of travelling patterns in Singapore whether by car, bus or train and the impact of traffic analytics on commuting.
Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore): The bank introduced new mobile capabilities that include switching to iPhone as corporate device and creation of iPhone apps that serve internal users and customers.
The eleventh annual CIO 100 Index and CIO Awards were announced and presented in Singapore on 8 March, at the day-long CIO Asia magazine Conference and Awards ceremony at Singapore's Fairmont Hotel. The award winners will be profiled in CIO Asia magazine's April-May 2011 edition, due to hit desks in the second week of April.

For almost 20 years, the dedicated Peepers Family Eye Care staff has attended to the sight of its patients with meticulous eye exams and medical services, including LASIK laser vision correction. During appointments, the team employs the latest technology, such as visual field-testing equipment and retinal cameras, which provide an inside look at the eye, as well as snap professional images for retinas in need of headshots. After appointments, friendly staffers help clients choose the most suitable lenses and pick out the most face-flattering frames from name brands. They work to cultivate a familial atmosphere at each of their five locations, offering up family vision plans and extensive children's eye care.
In 2001, Dr. Robert Samit had a vision, which was a pretty appropriate phenomenon, considering that he's an optometrist. He saw in the future a network of eye doctors, united under the banner of a single company that provides quality vision care—plus a huge selection of value-priced and designer eyewear frames—to patients throughout Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
Together with company president Sue Healey Downes, they now boast a whopping 51 locations throughout the region, each with a licensed Doctor of Optometry on hand. They equip this army of eye examiners with the latest technology. When a doctor determines that a corrective lens is called for, he or she prescribes them before MyEyeDr.'s team of eyecare consultants helps patients choose from a huge array of frames from such brands as Chanel, Oakley, and Ray Ban RX.
View a video from MyEyeDr. here.
For dozens of years, the Chinese have practiced acupuncture, a healing method that corrects imbalances by stimulating specific points on the body that help energy, or qi, to flow smoothly. During every visit, acupuncturists measure your qi pressure, which is similar to measuring your blood pressure except that inflatable thing is placed around your soul. Acupuncture will help reduce your dependence on medication for pain; plus, after you take all those needles out of your body, you'll finally have a utensil set for those little squares of cheese! Nancy Smith at Frederick Acupuncture knows acupuncture. It's what she does. Her oldest patient is 354 years old.
Aesthetics by Katzen provides medically supervised cosmetic treatments for a variety of skin conditions. The enzyme treatment and chemical peel duo is an intensive facial treatment for muscle masks long worn down by workaday worries, sun damage, and constant attacks from gibbons. To start, the aesthetician will provide an enzyme treatment (a $45 value) to rejuvenate damaged skin and prep your face for the next treatment. Immediately following this is the chemical peel; choose from a lactic 15% peel ($50), a mild exfoliation that retains moisture and is ideal for dry, dehydrated, or sun-damaged skin, or the glycolic 30% peel ($65), which helps to tighten and tone skin suffering from uneven texture or unbalanced tone. The chemical peels are not as harsh as some, and require no downtime after leaving the practice. The treatments must be spaced out by at least one week.
The staff of medical professionals at Katzen Eye Group, which first opened its doors in 1968, brings blurry vision into focus at four locations in Baltimore, Abingdon, Lutherville, and Rosedale. Attentive physicians peer into peepers of all ages as they administer comprehensive exams, outfit patients with prescription glasses, and help prevent diseases such as glaucoma. Lasik surgery can correct one's distance vision. Cataract surgery, which replaces one's cloudy natural lens with a clear implantable lens is also performed at Katzen Eye Group. Additionally, a staff of aesthetic professionals beautify bodies through services including skincare and cosmetic laser treatments, which can eliminate wrinkles around the eyes more effectively than staring at a jar of cold cream.

Some of the campaign season's biggest spenders – Republican mayoral contender Carmella Mantello in Troy and Alliance Party mayoral nominee Roger Hull in Schenectady — outspent their rivals, but it is Lou Rosamilia in Troy and Gary McCarthy in Schenectady who will be called mayor. But Read More
No recount: Gary McCarthy is Schenectady's next mayor
Paul Nelson is reporting that Democrat Gary McCarthy is going to be Schenectady's next mayor, narrowly defeating Alliance Party candidate Roger Hull after a judge this morning denied Hull's request for a full recount of last month's election results. Here's a bit from Lauren's story: For the second time in a month, State Supreme Court Read More
Hull wants a recount – that would get pretty pricey
We're not saying Democracy should be shuttled to the side in favor of saving taxpayers money. But it's worth pointing out the resources that would be required to count all 8,946 paper ballots in the Schenectady mayoral election. Monday we wrote about Alliance Party founder Roger Hull's argument in front of state Supreme Court that Read More
The night that was: Election Day 2011
OK, here's your bleary-eyed day-after roundup: Democrat Lou Rosamilia — not Republican Carmella Mantello — is the next mayor of Troy. – Two-term incumbent Democrat Paula Mahan claimed victory in the Colonie supervisor's race, but with only about 300 votes separating her and GOP challenger Denise Sheehan and more than 1,200 absentee ballots outstanding, Sheehan Read More
Your Schenectady County roundup — and one huge surprise
The surprise I'm talking about isn't how close the mayoral race is. Another line of political Jurcyznskis are born! Former Schenectady Republican mayor Al Jurcyznski's son brother, I believe, has won a seat on the Duanesburg Princetown town board. All kidding aside, here is the round-up of what turned out to be a very interesting Read More

Mets Ink Kelvim Escobar To One Year Deal
Various news outlets are reporting tonight that the New York Mets have signed Kelvim Escobar to a one year Major League contract.
The 33 year-old right hander has pitched for two teams throughout his big league career; first with the Toronto Blue Jays and most recently with the Los Angeles Angels.
During his career, Escobar has amassed a win/loss record of 101-91 and compiled an ERA of 4.15.
His best season came in 2007 when he made 30 starts and compiled a record of 18-7 and maintained an ERA of 3.40.
Strangely this deal is not a minor league contract, as was suggested a couple of days ago, instead it will be a major league one.
As Newsday's Ken Davidoff points out, the fact that the Mets handed him a major league contract " shows how enamored the Mets (and others) are by the guy's arm, when healthy".
Another interesting note to point out is that according to the NY Post's Joel Sherman, the team intends to use Escobar as a setup man for Francisco Rodriguez.
This is rather confusing as mutliple reports suggested that newly signed, Ryota Igarashi, was to be the new eighth inning pitcher.
All in all, I really like this deal for the Mets and I think it is one of the few things Omar has done right this season, despite the fact that Escobar has only logged five innings since 2007.
Provided Minaya did not guarantee a ridiculous amount of money to the veteran pitcher, this signing could turn out to be a beneficial one for the team.
Lastly, Merry Christmas to everyone, who celebrates the holiday. For those who do not celebrate, take today as an opportunity to enjoy a good movie and perhaps some Chinese food.
UPDATE: According to the terms of the deal. Escobar will be used exclusively as reliever so as to preserve his arm strength. This was done at the request of Kelvim.

Can use it with up to three cats sitting on my lap.
Can use it with up to three cats sitting on my lap.
We are getting regular power outages here. My desktop is no use at such times. But, with the iPad, I can maintain my sanity by reading books, playing games, watching movies or playing music while the lights are off. My net book would only last an hour or two...the iPad is great!
i plan on using it for my email/fb and books itunes... while my kids make run on my PC... if i see plants Vs zombies one more time I might scream... they love it while me not so much.
they already killed one pc off in 2 yrs time... so no kids on ipad with sticky hands at all.. I can put it in my bag out of site out of mind.
it's only been a few days since i've had the ipad and i freaking LOVE this thing. for the first few days i used it almost exclusively, but my eyes started to hurt which sorta scared me for a bit.
i decided that i'm going to use my macbook for work-related stuff and the ipad only when im surfing the net at night, reading comics or ebooks, or when im updating my apps for business purposes (to do list, accounting, etc.). or when im not really doing anything on the laptop and my back is starting to hurt from sitting all day long and i need a break to lie down or sit on the couch.
I use the iPad 90% of the time only connect to the Macbook to back up and sync
Personally the iPad is faster accessing Internet games (apple) and all other functions inc music movies Than any Mac I have known
And I have used owned every model because I have been a reseller or selling macs since 84
If you need specific applications like accounting movie production photo editing flash sites etc and complex speed sheets then yes use a pc or a Mac
The iPad is an on demand product that just works and for most people accessing Internet, email movies, looking at pictures music news sites comics it is perfect option.

I play games occasionally and for those I still use my pc.
I have a laptop but I never use that on my lap. It is portable but mostly I transport it from my desk at home to my desk at work.
Right now I am sitting in a recliner watching the late show. I would now want a laptop on my lap right now but the iPad is fine. I can sit it on the table next to my chair and pick it up (with one hand) and check email or my usual message board hang-outs.
I also would not read books on my laptop.
I have my dual core laptop and my iPad sitting on the coffee table, and 90% of the time, I grab the iPad. I will grab the laptop if there is something I want to print.
I use an iPad instead of a computer because for web browsing, the iPad is just the best out there

LOL, I use my ipad while im sitting at my computer.

The Kinks would be pretty awesome..
Someone said something about a cover?
Maybe we'll get "Love Hurts" - Nazareth
Muskrat Love - Captain and Tennille?
Seriously though, I'm liking the groundhog day guesses. Pure Prairie League is also a good guess. & I'm still remaining hopeful we'll get The Who sometime...
Could just be the wording, but..
The Who are starting their "Quadrophenia & More" tour today, with a show in Florida tonight & tomorrow, & then touring the U.S. until February.
I'm still...
How about:
"We're Not Gonna Take It" The Who/Twisted Sister.
It's been done before.
I think there was also a 4th of July one.
People should just learn to leave stuff alone.
Still remaining hopeful for The Who, but don't really hold any expectations.
Love MST3K & absolutely love Rifftrax & Cinemassacre. Think they both do a great job. I like how rifftrax does more than horrible B movies.
Definitely going to Manos tomorrow, pretty sure on MST...
This would be more than nice. & I'm still hoping we'll get something to that extent.
Still going with some sort of Who pack. On the 24th there was a showing of a documentary on Quadrophenia, Pete was in the studio, separating vocals, & guitar tracks to hear the differences & what...
Still remaining hopeful for some kind of Who pack. Especially now with the announcement of a North American Quadrophenia tour & with The Who playing the closing ceremonies of The Olympics in August.
I am on the Xbox 360. I'm also not sure if having the game installed to the hard drive will help or not. At this moment, I can't quite remember if I have it on the hard drive or not. I can pick the...
Anyone else have problems going into training/practice mode for vocals & the game not loading? Just getting a black screen.
Definitely. Surprised no one mentioned "Who Are You?" yet.
No mentions of John Entwistle?
The Real Me, definitely.
Or just his bass solo in 5:15; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVl39LBZGMw
I'm still remaining hopeful for The Who's "Tommy".
With Roger Daltrey's Recent appearance on "The Tonight Show", & with him currently touring the album, it would be a perfect time to release it on...
Still remaining hopefully that we will see a full album release of The Who's "Tommy".
With Roger currently touring the whole album, it would be a perfect time.
I'm still remaining hopeful for a full album release of "Tommy". Roger performed it solo in London last night (Pete played a few songs) & announced a tour.
I'm going to go with all of the album "Tommy" by "The Who". March 24th, Roger Daltrey will be performing all of "Tommy" in England for the first time solo. Corresponding release? I can remain hopeful...
It seems, you need to be louder than the music coming out of your tv, or surround sound. I play in surround sound, loud. Vocal overdrive doesn't always go off, when that happens, cup your hand over...

A different kind of accessory – light, airy and flirty! I used for the collar pinkish purple cotton silk with double reflexes. For the ruffles and the bow I used chiffon – golden with purple reflexes – I feel like some Alice in some Wonderland just by watching the light play on these! It says "spring" and it says "special" !

A good idea for OOT bags would be Tortuga rum cakes....they make them on the island and they're to die for! You can get them at almost any store on the island or oder them online.
Happy planning!

For rehearsal dinner locations, The Wharf is very nice, they feed the fish at night and it makes for a great event!

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Summer is coming to a close for a number of Valley schools but for kids at one school district, summer is officially over.
Tuesday was the first day of class for more than a thousand students at Washington Union High School. Some of the students Action News talked to were excited to be back, but others didn't just have to battle the back-to-school blues, they also had to take on the heat.
Students at Washington Union High School are craving the cold in the 100 plus heat. Jasmine Bush and her buddies are finding cool comfort in ice-cream during their lunch break.
"Because it will help me cool down from the heat because I hate the heat a lot," Bush said. "It always drives me crazy."
Jacob Rodriguez and his friends are beating the broil by spending their lunch time at the school's library.
"Them out there they are probably sweating and being hot," Rodriguez said. "We are in here being nice and cool."
For more than a thousand students in this district, Tuesday marked the first day back at school. Principal Derek Cruz says staff members prepared for the scorching sun before school re-opened.
Cruz said, "When school resumes we experience some extreme heat but just making sure maintenance is checking our air conditioning systems so when kids come back to the classroom its cool and comfortable."
PE classes are often moved indoors when the temperature rise and the air quality is affected. Cruz says keeping kids cool helps them excel at school.
Cruz added, "It's important that we increase their chances for academic success by being in a comfortable classroom all day long."
But for most of the students here, staying comfortable and surviving the summer roast is, all about strategy.
Grecia Castillo said, "Try to wear really really light clothes, don't forget the water and try to stand in the shade if you can find it."
Football practice at the high school doesn't start back up until next week, if the weather heats up, practice is often pushed back to cooler hours.

Sma - Toddler Milk - 30 seconds
If it's j-e-r-k-y first time you view it, it's probably because of your connection speed. Doh. Play it a second time and it should be smoother.
Return to Contents page
As with a lot of brands and organisations, Sma approaches television as a crucial mechanism for building a dialogue with consumers. We plan to collect every Sma commercial transmitted in the United Kingdom since Sept 06, when our website went live. Far be it for us to sit as judge and jury about what is good advertising and what is not-so good. Thats a call for you to make. We want instead to make it a piece of cake for you to enjoy Sma adverts whenever the urge strikes you. In our view, its not rare for the commercials to make the best TV viewing. And no collection of advertisements would be all-embracing in the absence of a sprinkling of Sma advertising. So be fully reassured that the next time theres another Sma ad, youll almost certainly find it here to watch on tellyAds.

I recently booked a hotel room through the phone. Justin, the man who provided me with excellent customer service, was EXTREMELY helpful! I was unfamiliar with the area and needed additional information regarding the public transportation in Blacksburg. He took the time to look online at the Blacksburg website and figure out the exact information I would need to know for GameDay, regarding bus transportation. The only rooms available were smoking and he ensured me that a ventilation system would be put into our room prior to our arrival. And he put us on a cancellation list if there were any cancellations on non-smoking rooms. He matched the lowest price that I found online. Overall, it was the best customer service I've had when calling to book a hotel room!!

Wright retires from WISPA Tour
SubscribeHoward Harding 05 May 2001
ENGLAND No1 Sue Wright, twice a British Open finalist, has decided to retire from the international squash circuit.
After suffering with viral pneumonia for more than eighteen months, Wright made a sensational comeback at last October's British Open, dismissing seeded players in each round before becoming the first qualifier ever to reach the women's final - almost ten years after competing in the 1991 final. Then, in February 2001, she reclaimed the British National title for the fourth time.
Aged 30, Wright reached number three in the world in addition to periods as national number one. A Board Member of the Women's International Squash Players' Association (WISPA) since 1995, she has accumulated 11 WISPA World Tour titles in both North America and Europe since 1996. Her successful senior career followed her captaining the England team which won the World Junior title in 1987.
One legacy of the pneumonia has been the ear problems that have prevented her from flying, thus limiting access to events on the WISPA World Tour. Furthermore, she has had to restrict and plan her exertion periods to maintain her health. Wright plans to continue competing in the UK whenever possible - and, health permitting, will be working towards a possible selection for the Commonwealth Games next year.
"IT HAS been a tough decision to make, and without question I will miss the tour and the people associated with it," said Oxfordshire-based Wright. "But I'm not giving up completely just yet, just being sensible with my health and body."
Wright appropriately crowned her full-time squash-playing career on Thursday by winning the BSPA (British Squash Professionals Association) Prince Grand Prix Finals title - beating compatriot Jenny Tranfield, the world No16, in straight games.
In the men's final, world champion Peter Nicol - now representing England - had his work cut out to overcome Mark Cairns. The match went to a deciding fifth game that Nicol edged 17-14.
RESULTS: Prince Grand Prix Finals, Moonrakers Club, Salisbury, ENG Thursday May 3, 2001
Men's final: Peter Nicol bt Mark Cairns 15-8 10-15 15-12 12-15 17-14 (108 minutes)
Women's final: Sue Wright bt Jenny Tranfield 9-4 10-8 9-5 (35 minutes)

Stayed here two nights in July 2013. Arrived by train and called the hotel ahead of time to pick us up from the railway station. The driver was on time... and easy to meet up with. The next day we arranged a car and driver through the hotel to take us around Jaipur. The rate for the car was a bit higher than those we paid in Delhi or Agra. However, we appreciated the fact that the driver (he went by the nickname "RD") didn't pressure us as much as drivers we had hired at other hotels to go to his preferred restaurants and shops. In fact, he recommended two activities that were free - a visit to the Monkey Temple and the shore of the lake surrounding Jal Mahal. The next morning, we needed to catch an early train and would miss the breakfast buffet, so I asked the staff if they could box breakfast for us. They agreed but unfortunately only packed one meal for our party of three so we arrived very hungry in Delhi. by a Hotels.com guest on 08/07/13

Part of the problem is that the Bush administration has not made public its plans for Iraq without Mr. Hussein. In the absence of any such blueprint, there is widespread concern that Iraq will fracture into competing ethnic groups, punctuated by a blood bath of revenge killings against remnants of the Baath Party.
The looting in Baghdad's biggest cities, the assassination of a moderate Shiite clergyman in Najaf and reports of squads hunting down Baathists to murder seemed to confirm those fears. The Mongols leveled Baghdad in 1260, extinguishing centuries of Islamic achievement. It seemed to be happening again.
Talk radio and television are filled with dark predictions, dire warnings that Israel anointed an American general to run Iraq and that the man the Americans wish to put in power is an Iraqi exile who left the country in 1958 and stands accused of defrauding investors in a Jordanian banking scandal. For this they replaced Mr. Hussein?
Much credence is given to the idea that shattering Iraq among its traditionally bloodthirsty religious, tribal and ethnic factions is the real Western plan, or plot.

Three men held in slavery inquiry
Related Articles
Published: 25 September 2013
Officers from Gwent Police confirmed they went to an address in St Brides, Newport, and found a 60-year-old British man. He is being assessed by specialist Red Cross staff.
A spokesman added that men aged 53, 38 and 20 have been arrested on suspicion of slavery and servitude offences.
The arrests came two days after a Polish man was recovered from a farm in nearby Peterstone, Newport.
Earlier this year, a Kidderminster man was found at the same site in Peterstone after going missing 13 years ago while on holiday in the South Wales resort of Porthcawl.
Detective Superintendent Paul Griffiths said: "This is a fast-moving and complicated investigation and we are grateful to the public for the continued assistance and support they have shown so far. I'm still appealing for anyone with any information to contact us on 101 quoting log 66 23/09/13.
"Alternatively if anyone has information and would rather not pass this directly to the police then I would urge them to contact Crimestoppers, which is independent of the police and guarantees complete anonymity, on 0800 555 111. They don't need to give their name and the police will never know who they are. Any information given would be passed to the team in complete confidence."
The number of people arrested as part of the investigation - named Operation Imperial - stands at seven. A 66-year-old man and a 42-year-old man, both from the Marshfield area, a 36-year-old man from Cardiff and a 42-year-old woman from Penhow, Monmouthshire, were arrested on Monday. They remain in custody, say police.
Officers began their inquiries earlier in the year after a "vulnerable" missing man was found living in poor conditions on Cariad Farm in Peterstone, which has been described in a Newport Council document as gypsy and traveller family-owned accommodation.
Darrell Simester, from Kidderminster, Worcestershire, disappeared while on a holiday in Porthcawl 13 years ago. He was found with torn clothes and teeth missing. It has been reported the 43-year-old told police he was forced to work 12 hours a day and was too scared to try to escape.

Surfing with sharks
Surfer Chuck Patterson videotaped sharks circling his surfboard in California. on Vimeo.
Phil Clark had some company while he was surfing in the waters off Orleans public beach this morning: several dogfish sharks were swimming alongside his board, furiously feeding on a group of skate fish.
But the 63-year-old owner of Nauset Surf Shop wasn't the least bit fazed.
"They don't scare me at all," Clark said of the 3-foot-long sharks, who mostly prey on other fish. "We don't smell right to them."
Clark's experience differed from that of fellow surfer Chuck Patterson, who earlier this week found himself encircled by two great white sharks off the beaches of northern San Diego County.
Two days later, he returned to the same spot -- this time with a high-definition camera mounted to a 10-foot pole, which he used to capture footage of the maritime predators.
Unlike Clark's seemingly harmless dogfish sharks, the two great whites (estimated to be between 7 and 9 feet long) have been known to attack surfers. If Clark had been in Patterson's position, he doesn't think he would be so nonchalant.
"My toes would grip that surfboard so tight," Clark said. "I'd be very nervous."

Heineken Cup talks hit critical juncture
English and French clubs will push for slimmed-down format at board meeting
Tuesday 11 December 2012
The men who will decide the future of the Heineken Cup, perhaps the biggest political football in world rugby as well as the biggest club tournament, are unlikely to be any closer to agreement at the close of today's important board meeting in London, but at least they will have a clear idea of exactly how far they are away. Talks are expected to be even more fraught than usual as the Anglo-French axis squares up to the Celtic bloc, but some delegates believe this may prove the darkest hour before dawn.
Two proposals for a revamped competition, one tabled by each side, will be discussed, and almost certainly rejected. Ireland, Scotland and Wales, supported by Italy, are pressing for an enlarged 32-team format – an idea that has gained no traction in England or France, where those representing the interests of clubs in the Premiership and Top 14 leagues dismiss it as unwieldy, unworkable and something that runs counter to the Heineken Cup's status as an elite tournament.
Equally, the Anglo-French proposal for a more concentrated 20-team competition, a cut of four from the current number, is falling on profoundly deaf ears in the Celtic corner, where negotiators see no advantage in sanctioning a reduction in their own numbers. On the basis that turkeys do not vote for Christmas, particularly at this time of year, there is no obvious prospect of Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales giving up 10 guaranteed Heineken Cup places and accepting six instead.
But something will have to give sooner or later: the English and French teams have served notice of their intention to walk away from the tournament at the end of next season, and if there is no agreement, there will be no Heineken Cup.
"We are at a delicate stage," said Mark McCafferty, the chief executive of Premier Rugby and the lead negotiator on behalf of the English clubs. "There is no definite timetable, but we are getting to the point where we need to see some progress because the clock cannot be allowed to run down continually.
"We've already spent six months on this and when next season begins, clubs need to know exactly what they're trying to qualify for.
"Together with the French, we're keen to make the case for a strengthening of both the Heineken Cup and the Amlin Challenge Cup [the second-tier equivalent of football's Europa League]. Two 20-team competitions, underpinned by a third tournament aimed at developing rugby nations like Russia and Georgia, Spain and Portugal… we believe very strongly in this and we'll push hard for it."
Meanwhile London Irish issued a grim injury bulletin today. They expect to be without Tomas O'Leary, the scrum-half who would have toured South Africa with the Lions in 2009 had he been fit to take his place in the squad, for between four and six months after the Irishman underwent surgery to repair a disc in his lower back. O'Leary has not played since late October.
Priestland a doubt for Lions tour
Rhys Priestland, the Wales fly-half, will miss the Six Nations and is a major doubt for the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia next summer after he underwent keyhole surgery this morning for a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in the Scarlets' game against Exeter at the weekend.
Although the operation was judged a success, Priestland will not play for six months and Andy Walker, the head of medicine at Scarlets, described the injury as "serious".
The Lions head coach, Warren Gatland, will today name his principal support staff for next summer's three-Test series in Australia – a back-room team expected to include two England coaches in Graham Rowntree and Andy Farrell, together with the Wales attack strategist Rob Howley. The players will not be selected until after the forthcoming Six Nations Championship.
