Er, it was the first vote on the Bill, there are another couple of votes to go before it becomes law and, when it does eventually do, it is only applicably in England not Britain.

What do we know about the 2012 World Series in the wives/girlfriend department? It's a complete blowout. How can the San Francisco Giants roster of WAGs even compete with Kate Upton on the national scene? It's impossible. But this is the time of the year when a WAG appears on Fox, the Internet goes nuts and she's an instant star. We get the feeling that could happen to Hunter Pence's girlfriend, Savanna Sweetland. She's sitting at 531 friends on Facebook, is blonde and 9 followers on Twitter. As for the Tigers secret weapon WAG, don't miss Jose Valverde's wife. Complete smokeshow.

I've used Essential horizontally in my machine but wondered if it should really be used vertically??? something about the way thread is wound. anyone??? I'm wanting to do FMQ today. CC | |||
I've used it for years vertically only. http://hexagonswap.blogspot.com/ For donated quilts for the kids, check out the photos at http://kc1930.blogspot.com/201...-pictures-below.html | ||||
I'm considering getting some Essential threads and now that you bring it up, what's the difference? I have both a horizontal and vertical spindle. | ||||
I always thought that the crisscross wound spools need to be on horizontal spindles to unwind better. | ||||
My Janome Dealer says it does not matter anymore.I use it both ways depends on which machine I'm using...I love this thread... May "In Michigan" | ||||
according to superior threads, cones, which are criss cross wound, should be fed off the top..ie, from a cone holder. my thread holders, on both of my machines,are vertical regardless. I have never had a problem with my set ups. I just ordered a cone of essential thread last week. (plus a kit of the new red line of fabric! I needed to buy the cone to get the free shipping...thats my story and i am sticking to it! | ||||
I use a vertical spindle with my cross wound threads - both cones and spools. I think that is fine as long as the thread goes UP from the thread/cone. Some machines have an vertical arm with thread guides that provides a path for the thread to travel upwards as it leaves the spool or cone. Otherwise there are thread stands like Kim mentioned or one can just place the thread in a jar behind the machine as was discussed in an earlier thread. ETA an example of a cross wound cone in use on a machine that has an elevated thread guide so the thread leaves the cone going up.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Bozie, | ||||
thanks all. i used the thread vertically for some straight stitching and for some FMQ too. I had a tiny bit of trouble doing small circles FMQ. heard a noise about three times. i stopped, cut threads and started over. worked but not sure why. Essential threads to tend to have slubs at times. I"m hating that. i really think when I use them all up(have a lot) i won't buy anymore. CC | ||||
Maybe try a larger eye needle for the essential... May "In Michigan" | ||||

Finally some intelligent sounding posts. Although I have to disagree with the "driving while under the influence of presciption drugs is legal" post. Quite frankly this made me laugh more than anything as a scipt of Xanax or any other pain med or muscle relaxer, tells you on the bottle I believe not to operate heavy machinery(being a car in this case). That would make you in the wrong legally. As a patient you are responsible not to take these drugs and drive. Again this made me laugh more than anything.
yeah. I only use Xanax to fly!
See, you went and added another factor.. driving. So therefore, what I did mention was not dumb. Because it still holds that there are no recorded deaths SOLELY due to marijuana.
My bong is very clean and doesn't get dirty so therefore my lungs look like that. I don't smoke.
How does it kill your lungs? What exactly does that entail? One of the biggest uses of it is FOR sleeping. It helps people sleep. Oh yeah, another good benefit is that it gives someone an appetite so they can eat when they need to. Don't think I'm being a smart ass or d*ck in anyway. I really present these things to you because you just blurt out some things you heard and there's nothing to back it up.
Hahah yes! Peace and marijuana? Together? No way!
But yeah, as talked about before, I do not ADVOCATE anyone to be high and drive or on any substance for that matter.
The labels reduce the liability from the pharmaceutical companies. If you read the NYTimes article it indicates that the criminal cases are extremely hard to prosecute and rarely result in convictions. Not every state has implemented "drugged driving" laws. Have you ever seen charges brought against Budweiser for drunk driving?
"She was charged with vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of drugs — an increasingly common offense, law enforcement officials say, at a time when drunken-driving deaths are dropping and when prescriptions for narcotic painkillers, anti-anxiety medications, sleep aids and other powerful drugs are rampant.
The issue is vexing police officials because, unlike with alcohol, there is no agreement on what level of drugs in the blood impairs driving.
The behavioral effects of prescription medication vary widely, depending not just on the drug but on the person taking it. Some, like anti-anxiety drugs, can dull alertness and slow reaction time; others, like stimulants, can encourage risk-taking and hurt the ability to judge distances. Mixing prescriptions, or taking them with alcohol or illicit drugs, can exacerbate impairment and sharply increase the risk of crashing, researchers say.
"In the past it was cocaine, it was PCP, it was marijuana," said Chuck Hayes of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. "Now we're into this prescription drug era that is giving us a whole new challenge."
The police also struggle with the challenge of prosecuting someone who was taking valid prescriptions.
"How do we balance between people who legitimately need their prescriptions and protecting the public?" said Mark Neil, senior lawyer at the National Traffic Law Center, which works with prosecutors. "It becomes a very delicate balance."
Some states have made it illegal to drive with any detectable level of prohibited drugs in the blood. But setting any kind of limit for prescription medications is far more complicated, partly because the complex chemistry of drugs makes their effects more difficult to predict than alcohol's. And determining whether a driver took drugs soon before getting on the road can be tricky, since some linger in the body for days or weeks."

RGNSUP we could go back and forth with conflicting stories all day long- some studies say marijuana has more carcinogens than tobacco & leads to an increased risk of cancers and others suggest it might inhibit types of cancer. and on and on and on.
but you can't believe that inhaling smoke into your longs and holding it doesn't have a negative effect on your lungs ability to absorb and utilize oxygen. I smoked it for 20 years and when I stopped my persistant nightly coughing stopped. The whole breathing thing is a big part of surfing at your personal best.
It may help some people sleep but other studies have shown that it can have a very negative effect on sleeping habits & the level of restful sleep acheived (deep sleep as opposed to passing out). Again, personally, when I stopped my insomnia (which had been a very real problem and caused me to miss some surf) disappeared completely and I have much more restful and dream filled sleep.
I would be the first to say there are far worse things and the fact that one dried out plant is legal and another is not is a farce but what does it do for you? What is the point of ingesting a substance that interferes with your neurosystems ability to function?
But I want to see these stories..or better yet, scientific research. One thing many need to realize is some people don't smoke it. By smoke it, I mean use a flame and combust. I don't do that. Look up and research the concept of vaporization. I have no breathing issues or coughing. I DO AGREE with you that putting anything into you that takes up space of oxygen in your lungs will be negative.
In regards to sleeping, if using marijuana has a negative effect on your sleep habits, then I would suggest not to use it. Again, it's not for everyone!
Do you drink?
I never drink more than the occasional one or two beers with dinner- that was not always the case, excess drinking is incredibly unhealthy, glad I left it behind 10 years ago.
You NEVER smoke up? You ONLY vape?

Remember Me
San Ignacio, CayoBelize
After living for 22 years in San Ignacio and Santa Elena, I can honestly say that, should you make the decision to make a new home in Belize, you could not do better than to live in the Cayo District. After all, it is not only the popular choice for tourists visiting this jewel called Belize, it is also the number one choice for those relocating to a new home in this paradise country of ours. Here, amongst the hills, rivers, jungle and Maya ruins, you will meet many from North America, from Europe, and indeed, from all around the globe who have made a new and happy life for themselves and their families in the Cayo towns I have been a Belize real estate agent for over five years and I will be pleased to help you in any way that I can to find the property that you are looking for.

The Binchois Consort
Andrew Kirkman (conductor)
Track 13
The three mass movements are written in an essentially lyric idiom which, while being notably concise, nevertheless shows a clear sense of musical shape and contour, as well as a liking for occasional harmonic twists and moments of melodic daring. These details serve to give point and focus to the polyphony, and endow it with a sense of eventfulness within its relatively short span. The movements show a close functional and stylistic relationship to the workaday plainchant idiom with which every musician of the era would have been familiar, and with which his whole sense of melodic profile would have been imbued. But Binchois shows a special sensitivity to the ways in which polyphonic interval music of this kind can be made to subtly extend and intensify, by harmonic means, the aura that surrounds monophonic lines, while still staying close to both the letter and the spirit of the chant melodies. The Kyrie in simplici die in particular has a beautiful and beautifully simple chant, found nowhere else except for the fragment used in
Nove cantum melodie
, and which in its (reconstructed) alternatim form shows a clear musical growth through the series of nine invocations to the final extended polyphonic Kyrie eleison. From their presentation in the manuscript sources, where they are provided with the plainsong intonations heard here, the Sanctus/Agnus pair might well appear to be chant-based too. But, unusually for Binchois in such movements, they too lack a known chant model, and in this case it is much less easy to decide whether or not the music does in fact refer to such a model (though the intonations at least should in theory be traceable). If, in contrast to the exciting complexities of
Nove cantum melodie
and to the poise and flow of
Domitor Hectoris
, these mass movements of their very nature tend to show us the succinct, even aphoristic side of Binchoiss art, they are nevertheless expressive of an idiom which, within its economy and concision, also implies more than it states, and thus is able to achieve an unobtrusive sophistication in even its simplest lyric utterances.

It was blue skies all throughout our brief stay in New York. Blue skies, hot temps, and a little humidity.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is this is the city hall. Still running NY series.

Answering your question:
I really don't know what it is, the funny thing I have on my shots! :))

It's possible to beat MGS: Rising without killing anyone, says producer
When your goal is to be the second most invisible person in the fictional world (number one goes to the Invisible Woman for, well, obvious reasons), it's actually not all that difficult to avoid sullying your hands by snapping some necks.
But when you're a one-man army/watermelon-dicing machine, being discrete about who you do and don't slice to ribbons isn't quite as much of a priority. Rising, however, is still a Metal Gear game. And a no-kill playthrough, according to the game's producer, is still definitely an option.

Kojima wouldn't mind if a "foreign developer" remade the original Metal Gear
Not the original Metal Gear Solid, mind you. That sort of already happened. No – Kojima's all for a remake of Metal Gear's humble, comparatively cutscene-free beginnings. One teensy problem, though: Kojima's booked solid for – oh – the rest of his life at the moment.
"It doesn't have to be me who makes it," Kojima suggested in an interview with Kotaku. "I made it a long time ago. It could be somebody young that maybe has more abilities than I do….It would even be good if a foreign production team even did it."
So, who would you like to see give 8-bit Snake a modern makeover? We're thinking Rocksteady. After Arkham Asylum, just imagine what the developer could do with Metal Gear's blend of stealth and action.

Castlevania ReBirth is next Konami title to be Wii-incarnated
First Contra and Gradius got the "ReBirth" treatment, and now – if a recent ESRB listing is to be believed – Castlevania is next in line.
Titled "Castlevania the Adventure ReBirth," the game's ESRB description is as follows:
"This is a side-scrolling action game in which players battle against monsters in Dracula's castle. Players use a chained whip to fight their way through halls and dungeons filled with zombies, skeletons, flying eyeballs, and bats. The enemy creatures frequently shoot projectiles and attack players in hand-to-hand combat. If players sustain too much damage, they keel over and emit a burst of red blood. Some rooms in the castle also have spikes or spears stained with red, blood-like splotches."
Title sound familiar? That's because a series entry on the Game Boy shared the same moniker. Could this be that game's Dracula-esque resurrection? Probably. Either that, or Konami just loves confusing us.
Oh, the game will be rated "T," in case you were wondering. That is sort of the whole point of this ESRB thing, isn't it?

MGS: Peace Walker playable at TGS
Metal Gear games – which count fat men on rollerskates, ancient wheelchair-bound snipers, and immortal vampires among their standout features – have never exactly been "normal." However, Peace Walker's even got Metal Gear devotees doing double-takes, so you'll be happy to hear that Peace Walker will be publicly playable at TGS.
According to Kotaku, you'll be able to try Peace Walker at Konami's booth or download it to your own PSP and peace walk the show floor.
Now then, if you'll excuse us, we're going to start scanning Ebay for "PSP w/ Peace Walker demo." We want us some Peace Walker, pronto!

We adventure deep into the BWCAW, Minnesota - We stuffed 2 sleeping bags into the Large sack and then put it in the bottom of our Duluth pack. It rained a lot on our last trip and the canoe had a puddle in it and this sack was right in the puddle all day. Sleeping bags stayed perfectly dry. - Good Product.

In the amount of time it takes to read this article, a number of things are in motion. As you contemplate that first sentence, you quickly notice that your computer just made a noise, "Oh look, a new email". If you have focus you will ignore that email, but a majority of people will run to that email. The email is just a vendor asking you for a conference call to discuss a new product, "Great, now I can get back to that article I was reading". You scroll your mouse, or finger for you tablet/smart phone users, and try to figure out where in this article you stopped reading. While you are doing that a text comes through, then a Facebook message, someone mentioned you on Twitter, your LinkedIn app just made a noise, oh my another phone call, then 5 more emails. This of course doesn't count the items on your desk including a stack of papers, 2 month end reports you forgot to read, 3 trade magazines, some random mail, a Diet Coke from yesterday, and a book you may have purchased from Amazon. By the way, you need to pick up milk on your way home tonight. This represents a five minute sub section in the life of today's self storage managers, investors, and owners.
Over the last 30 years technology has infiltrated every aspect of our lives. This major change started for consumers in the mid-1980s with the adoption of the personal computer. Fast forward 30 years and now technology is the epicenter of our daily lives. No longer are people forced to carry a cell phone that is the size of a brick or use a computer the size of a file cabinet. Consumers can now buy a refrigerator with internet access and HI FI speakers or control their home's thermostat with a smart phone. In addition, communication is now almost instantaneous and that new smart phone in the store has more processing power then a personal computer had just 10 years ago. This new technology will open more doors for the self-storage industry than ever before. The ability to be in constant contact with customers, existing or potential, is an almost overwhelming wave of potential. The changes in customer service will revolve around three items, product quality, communication, and information storage.
Over the last few weeks you have probably heard about the Self-Storage Aggregator issue that has been burning through our industry. First I would like to acknowledge Randy Smith for the solid white paper he wrote on the issue. You can review this white paper at http://www.nostorageaggregators.com. I would also like to say that he isn't wrong about the threat. Quoting one of my industry colleagues "he's probably about 3-5 years early", which is great because as a society we tend to let small problems become larger problems before we address them. I have used a few different aggregators in my self-storage operations and have mixed feelings about them. The aggregator issue is not the cause of our industry's problem but just a symptom of a larger problem that looms in the self-storage industry.
I began myself storage career, 12 years ago, at a smallself storage facility in Salt Lake City, UT. This facility was about 25 years old at that time. My facility had no climate controlled units, an office the size of a 5x10, and my onsite apartment was two converted 10x40's. I used a DOS based self storage management software, dot matrix printer, and an electronic gate system (that I had to manually update each morning). Every month I would put together a "Monthly Package" of reports that were sent to my home office. By the time I finished printing and copying all of the information, the report was 1"-2" inches think and took me about 2-3 hours to complete. We didn't have a website or an email address and the yellow pages were still our best marketing tool. What's not so nostalgic about this story is that some self storage facilities still rely on the same procedures and technology I mentioned above to complete their day to day operations.
The internet has changed everything. The idea that you can have the world's knowledge at your fingertips in an instant is overwhelming to say the least. With all of this technology available how do we hope to integrate it into our day to day self storage operations? The answer is that we pick and choose the technological options that work best for us. With that being said, you don't need to become an Apple Genius or understand the algorithm that powers Google's search engine. What you do need to understand are the basic frameworks of technology, how to implement it, and what you want to accomplish with this new technology.
First, let's start with basic hardware. Everyone needs a computer, printer, scanner, and a high speed internet connection. There is no getting around this, you need the basics first. Once you have this you are a ready to begin setting up your system.
One of the most effective ideas/tools available in the market place right now is the idea of cloud computing. I am sure you have heard about cloud computing from a television advertisement, college/high school student, or a computer magazine. So what is it? Cloud computing is using a device (i.e. computer, smart phone, or tablet) to access information stored in an online database...that's it, pure and simple. For example, I personally use Gmail for all of my email correspondence. Gmail is Google's email product. You can sign up for an account at www.gmail.com. I can access my Gmail account through my computer in my office, my smart phone, or my Samsung Android tablet. If I send an email through my Gmail account I have access to that email on any of my devices. If I delete an email through one of my devices, it will remove it from all of the devices because every device pulls the information from the same email database. I also have a calendar application through Gmail that works in the same fashion so I can keep my schedule straight across multiple devices. No more telling clients "let me check my schedule when I get back to my office". I always have an updated schedule with my cloud based Google Calendar.
Another example would be online self storage management software. As an operations manager my job is made much easier with online access to each of my self storage facilities. I no longer have to wait for my facility'smanager to fax or send me reports. I just launch the internet browser on my computer, smart phone, or tablet and review the reports I need instantly. If I need to make a price adjustment, update a special, or change access I can accomplish this from anywhere. The costs associated with online management software will be between $45 to $200 per month, but well worth the cost if you have multiple locations or just like to look at the progress of your self storage from home.
Do you need to make daily notes or keep a journal of your daily activities? Try using Evernote, www.evernote.com. Evernote allows you to access your notes no matter your location or device. Evernote will also allow you to share your notes with other Evernote users. Let's say you are working on a project and one of the participants in the project is located in Seattle and another is in New York. How do you keep everyone on the same schedule and keep all of the information flowing between each of the participants? Create a notebook in Evernoteand share it amongst the group of people working on the project. Any note input from New York will instantly be available in Seattle and vice versa. If you are looking for something even simpler, how about creating a grocery list. Why carry paper anymore, when you can just carry your smart phone or table to the grocery store and have instant access to your list?
How about file sharing or accounting? Do you need to share that excel file, power point presentation, or have access to yourself storage facility's P&L? Consider file sharing services such as Jungledisk (www.jungledisk.com) ,Dropbox (www.dropbox.com) , or Sugarsync (www.sugarsync.com) . Consider online accounting software such as Quickbooks online (www.quickbooks) or Peachtree (www.peachtree.com). Most of these programs are also available as apps for smart phone and tablet operating systems such as Apple's IOS, Android, Blackberry, or Windows Mobile
The beauty of cloud computing is that you can now share items with your family, conduct business, or review your self storage facility's reports and financials from anywhere. The self storage industry is extremely slow in adopting technology and we need to change this. You can install most of these technologies for under $1000.00, including hardware. Include a smart phone and a tablet; the cost will be about $3000.00, including hardware and service contracts. There are so many "cost effective" technological tools in the market place today, that there is no excuse not to upgrade your existing self storageoperations.

To the south and southwest of downtown, this family-friendly region claims some of the city's greenest pastures. Hayhurst's 52-acre Alpenrose dairy complex boasts a stadium and a velodrome. Inside the Western-replica town of Dairyville, visitors find a doll museum and opera house, among other venues. Toward downtown, Portland Children's Museum offers still more activities for the young folk.

Super staff -- everyone so helpful! Nice room, quiet, and would certainly go back again.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Comfortable & Friendly"
Very comfortable with friendly and helpful staff. Tasty breakfast with good variety, although the sausage was a bit underdone for our taste. Would much rather have the complimentary soap and shampoo than what they provided in dispensers - didn't like the dispenser stuff. But other than that, I enjoyed staying there and would again.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"What title?"
Perfect for us as the hotel is close to my sister whom i was visiting and also close to shops and facilities. I have stayed there several times and will come back. Vry comfortable and very convenientUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
We had a weeks stay. Enjoyed the full breakfast daily and the pool was very nice.service was great and room clean. Close to shopping and our family's house. Would stay again. The only small thing we found curious was that there was no hook on the bathroom door to hang up your clothes or towel while showering. We had a double room.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"nice hotel"
Nice place to stay, but the pillows were extremely uncomfortable. There were plenty of them, but they were all the same: VERY thick, and dense.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
The bath tub grab bar was loose and looked like water was getting behind it. The TV selection was poor. The pillows were too big/fluffy/high.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

"Really wasn't too far after all!!"
On paper it seemed like this hotel was going to be too far from the places we wanted to go but in reality it really wasn't!! We come from a rural area so traveling a distance to get to things is not new so we were pleasantly surprised when it didn't take us more than about 20 minutes to get where we wanted to go (Japanese Gardens and OHSU) even in rush […] hour traffic!! The room was nice and clean, the breakfast was good, the only thing I would change was the bed which could be just a little softer! Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Classy Hotel"
Lovely property, very spacious room, attractive reception area. Only negative: 4 bed pillows all of which were very overstuffed and uncomfortable if one has neck issues. Wish hotels would provide at least one soft pillow per room!! Other than that - a really nice place to stay!!!Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Very nice."
The hotel was very nice but not as great as other Best Western Hotels I have stayed at. The breakfast bar was not as extensive or good as other locations. The pool and hot tub were great. The room was very clean and comfortable except for the bathroom sink that was part of the room and not around a corner. The bathroom fan was very loud.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Overall, not bad."
Generally, the hotel was decent. You pay for what you get. The rooms were a good size and clean. The bonus was the swimming pool. It is not that big but the kids loved it. The only complaint was the breakfast, there was not enough food for everybody staying at the hotel. The staff was doing the best that they could and they did try to accomdate people's […] request so that was nice but they do need to step it up for breakfast and perhaps hire another staff member.

"Quiet area and close to Portland down town."
The Staff was very friendly and willing to help. In general the hotel looked descent and clean. Nice breakfast (Muffins, yogurts, eggs, juices, milk, waffles, cereals). For some reason, the room we got had a dirty floor, which they vacuum the next day (we stayed 2 nights). Noticed that other rooms were thouroughly vacuum before new customers, so not […] sure why our room did not get vacuum prior to us using it. We found a couple of hair lumps on one of the beds. The beds were not very comfortable, but ok. Overall it could be a good hotel if they focused on some details (making sure the floor are cleaned and the beds have not foreign objects). They should shampoo the carpet more often. We will give it a second chance the next time we visit Portland. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Served us well"
For a 3* hotel, BW is a comfy stay with clean grounds and VERY comfortable beds. Their complimentary breakfast, while not gourmet, is sufficient and appreciated. Its more than a continental breakfast, so I was pleasantly surprised. Again, nothing that'll wow you , but it is filling. My fam n I would stay here again.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Great Hotel near King City"
We were coming into town for a memorial service, the staff was wonderful. They worked with us when we had travel delays. My brother was able to check in after midnight, and I was able to check in as soon as I finally got there the following morning. The rooms were clean and comfortable. the AC worked so well, the room actually got too cold. My daughter […] loved the make your own waffles at breakfast the next morning, There was convenient shopping near by for our last minute needs.

"Nice but Noisy"
Hotel is nice and in a good location with many restaurants and stores nearby. Interior is clean and beds were comfortable. The only negative is that if you are on the first or second floor, you will hear foot traffic from the room above, which is very loud and disturbing. It kept us up at night and woke us up in the morning. We did not sleep well.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

"Nice place to stay in Portland"
I didn't make a mistake when I chose this hotel. Even though it's little bit far from downtown, but you can find everything in the neighbourhood. Not too far from Woodburn outlet and another outlet that is close by. The room is very clean and comfortable, but the traffic noise from the Pacific Hwy in the front of the hotel, for me is a little bit annoying […] when I try to get sleep. Asked for the back room would be help. The dining room for breakfast is small, there are only 6 table available, so can't enjoy breakfast too long, because other people's already waiting for your table. Over all it was a nice stay. For sure, I will be back if I go to Portland again. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

"Good transition to wine country"

"Great location in Tigard/King City, OR"
We had a great experience at this hotel. It was conveniently located, with plenty of parking. The Internet worked well. Breakfast was very good. Indoor pool and hot tub were a bonus. The cleaning staff were extremely pleasant and accomodating.......the same faces each day and they seemed to enjoy their job. That says alot in itself. Everything was very […] clean and in working order inside and out. Only 30 minutes to the airport. This is one of the very best hotels that we have ever stayed in and we travel alot.

The hotel was very clean, comfortable and quiet. Nice breakfast bar and coffee provided all day. The USA Today was provided, but you needed to get down to the lobby early in order to snag one.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Pleasant location with environmental awareness."
Stayed here for four nights while doing a trade show in Portland. Quiet but with easy access to the highways, and a shopping center with grocery store across the street were a nice plus. Hotel staff was always very helpful and the public areas, including indoor pool/hot tub facilities were clean and pleasant, although the housekeeping in our room was […] a bit hit-or-miss. For example, one day the ice bucket area was completely unaddressed, coffee was not replenished and dirty coffee cups were left on the counter, although the sink was clean and the rest of the room taken care of. To be fair, that morning the toilet was backed up and we had a lot of clutter related to the show in the room, so I understand housekeeping possibly overlooking some of the less critical items on their checklist. Appreciated having a food nook separate from the bathroom vanity, stocked with microwave, fridge, and coffee pot. Also liked having a recycling bin in the room and real mugs, not just disposable paper coffee cups, although the other cups were one-use plastics. Operable windows for fresh air also a plus. Hot breakfast service was not terribly well-organized and food quality a bit bland. A nice hotel heading in the right direction. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

The goal of the second phase of the study is to determine if simultaneous bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation or simultaneous bilateral globus pallidus stimulation is more effective in reducing symptoms of Parkinson's Disease.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Parkinson's Disease |
Device: Bilateral Deep Brain Stimulation |
Phase 3 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Single Blind (Subject) Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | CSP #468 Phase II - A Comparison of Best Medical Therapy and Deep Brain Stimulation of Subthalamic Nucleus and Globus Pallidus for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease, Phase II |
- Blinded assessment of motor function (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III) scores in the on stimulation/off medication condition [ Time Frame: at two years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Self-reported function, UPDRS scores, quality of life, neurocognitive function, and adverse events [ Time Frame: at two years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Enrollment: | 299 |
Study Start Date: | April 2002 |
Study Completion Date: | April 2009 |
Primary Completion Date: | October 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Active Comparator: Arm 1
STN (Subthalamic Nucleus)
Device: Bilateral Deep Brain Stimulation
The DBS site (STN or GPi) will be assigned on a random basis at the time the patient enters the surgical phase of the trial.
Active Comparator: Arm 2
GPi (Globus Pallidus)
Device: Bilateral Deep Brain Stimulation
The DBS site (STN or GPi) will be assigned on a random basis at the time the patient enters the surgical phase of the trial.
Detailed Description:
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a promising therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) Whether DBS is superior to comprehensive best medical therapy or whether some patients or symptoms respond better to DBS in one area of the brain or the other is currently not known. The goals of this project are to compare the effectiveness of DBS and comprehensive medical therapy as treatments for PD (Phase I) and to compare bilateral DBS at 2 areas of the brain-the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the globus pallidus (GPi) -to determine the most effective brain site for surgical intervention (Phase II) In this prospective, randomized, multi-center trial, 316 patients will be enrolled at 13 centers over four and a half years. Patients will initially be randomized to immediate surgery (DBS) or to 6 months of "best medical therapy". BMT arm patients will then be randomized to proceed into the DBS surgical phase of the trial. The DBS site (STN pr GPi) will be assigned on a random basis at the time the patient enters the surgical phase of the trial. Patients will be followed for two years post surgery (24 months for DBS only patients and 30 months for BMT-DBS patients) Effective 8/5/05 randomization to the BMT arm has been discontinued since the study has sufficient information to compare the outcomes of DBS and BMT patients at 6 months. The findings will be critically important in establishing the optimal surgical treatment of the disabling symptoms of PD.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- idiopathic Parkinson's Disease
- Hoehn and Yahr stage 2 or worse when off medications
- L-dopa responsive with clearly defined "on" periods (i.e. symptoms improve at least partially with L-dopa administration, a characteristic that helps distinguish idiopathic PD from "Parkinson's Plus" and atypical Parkinson's syndromes-see below)
- persistent disabling symptoms (e.g. on troubling dyskinesias, or disabling "off" periods at least 3 hours/day) despite medication therapy. Patients will have been treated with variable doses of levodopa and dopamine agonists (at a minimum) and will have had an adequate trial of other adjunctive medications)
- stable on medical therapy for at least one month prior to study enrollment
- age >21
- available and willing to be followed-up according to study protocol
Exclusion Criteria:
- "Parkinson's plus" syndromes, secondary, or atypical Parkinson's syndromes (e.g. progressive supranuclear palsy, striato-nigral degeneration, multiple system atrophy, post-stroke, post-traumatic, or post-encephalitic Parkinson's. These patients have cardinal symptoms characteristic of PD but with additional symptoms indicating other organic brain dysfunction, such as gaze palsies, autonomic dysfunction, lack of response to L-dopa, these individuals tend not to improve with standard treatments for PD)
- previous Parkinson's Disease surgery
- medical contraindications to surgery or stimulation (e.g. uncontrolled hypertension, advanced coronary artery disease, other implanted stimulation or electronically-controlled devices including cardiac demand pacemaker, aneurysm clips, cochlear implants, or a spinal cord stimulator) (Note: for the subject who receives either a pacemaker and/or defibrillator after this study enrollment, he/she will be allowed to continue the study if the neurostimulator system can be adequately programmed to permit system compatibility)
- contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (e.g. indwelling metal fragments or implants that might be affected by MRI)
- active alcohol or drug abuse
- score on Mini-Mental Status examination of 24 or lower, or other neuropsychological dysfunction 9e.g. dementia) that would contraindicate surgery
- intracranial abnormalities that would contraindicate surgery (e.g. stroke, tumor, vascular abnormality affecting the target area)
- pregnancy
- concurrent participation in another research protocol

J.J. Abrams On Directing Star Wars: 'Surreal' & 'Exciting'
First Published: January 27, 2013 3:16 PM EST Credit: Getty Premium
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- J.J. Abrams calls getting assigned to direct the seventh live-action "Star Wars" film "as surreal as it is exciting."
The director-producer-writer spoke with a handful of media outlets on the red carpet before darting into the Producers Guild Awards on Saturday night. Abrams was there to accept the Norman Lear Achievement Award for such television works as "Felicity" (1998-2002), "Alias" (2001-2006), "Lost" (2004-2010), "Fringe" (2008-2013) as well as the current series "Person of Interest" and "Revolution."
Abrams also is proving to be a go-to director of successful new films for long-established franchises, such as "Star Trek" and "Mission: Impossible."
Last week, Lucasfilm officially announced Abrams' hiring for "Star Wars: Episode VII," which has a tentative release date of 2015. "Star Wars" creator George Lucas personally endorsed Abrams in a statement: "I've consistently been impressed with J.J. as a filmmaker and storyteller. He's an ideal choice to direct the new Star Wars film and the legacy couldn't be in better hands."
As for Abrams' plans for "Episode VII"?
"You know, obviously, it's so early," he replied. "I can just say what I want to do: I want to do the fans proud. I want to make sure the story is something that touches people. And we're just getting started. I'm very excited."

This positions us better to target our resource towards meeting real needs, while striving for enhanced alignment between UCL's research strategy and individual aspirations. This new model also enables us to work more closely in partnership with other key people deployed at a Faculty or Department level, such as Research Facilitators, Research Leaders, HR Consultants, Faculty Managers etc. -
