SOURCE American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) has opened its new Institute for Training and Technology (IT&T) in Downers Grove, Illinois. The $20 million 42,000 square foot state-of-the-art gastrointestinal endoscopy training facility and ASGE world headquarters uses cutting-edge technologies to foster the development, training and adoption of new techniques in order to enhance physician skills and advance patient care. ASGE recently held an opening event to introduce the facility to members, donors and the local community.
"Here we are, having weathered tough economic storms, standing on this ground, sheltered by a beautiful, high-tech, world-class facility that solidifies our vision that ASGE should lead the way and light the way to a better future. I'd like to thank our generous corporate and individual donors," said Kenneth K. Wang, MD, FASGE, president, American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, speaking at an open house for the new facility held on October 4. "After 72 years, ASGE finally has its own home. Most importantly, we are grateful to, and proud of, the 12,000 plus ASGE members who make ASGE what it is today – the leader in endoscopic care. May our success continue and lead toward more enriched and interactive education, more advanced endoscopic training and, ultimately, the best possible care for our patients and those of other medical specialties."
Speaking at the October 4 open house with Dr. Wang were ASGE Past Presidents Thomas M. Deas Jr., MD, MMM, FASGE, Gregory G. Ginsberg, MD, FASGE, and M. Brian Fennerty, MD, FASGE; Kenneth R. McQuaid, MD, FASGE, ASGE Secretary; Christopher J. Gostout, MD, FASGE and John L. Petrini, MD, FASGE, ASGE IT&T Campaign co-chairs; the Mayor of the Village of Downers Grove, Martin T. Tully and State Representative Ron Sandack (IL-81), a former mayor of Downers Grove.
"Congratulations and welcome to Downers Grove. ASGE is in very good company, having joined several other leading healthcare organizations situated here in our town. We thank you for choosing Downers Grove as your global home for endoscopy training and advancement," said Mayor Martin T. Tully.
Also in attendance at the open house were many member and corporate donors to the ASGE IT&T Capital Campaign, a fundraising project through the ASGE Foundation that raised nearly $6.7 million to support construction of the new facility; other representatives from the Village of Downers Grove; and ASGE board and committee members and staff.

About Endoscopy
Endoscopy is performed by specially-trained physicians called endoscopists using the most current technology to diagnose and treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Using flexible, thin tubes called endoscopes, endoscopists are able to access the human digestive tract without incisions via natural orifices. Endoscopes are designed with high-intensity lighting and fitted with precision devices that allow viewing and treatment of the gastrointestinal system.

Syria's shelling of a border town in Turkey has sparked fears that President Bashar al-Assad's attempt to snuff out a rebellion at home could turn into a damaging regional war between the two neighbors.
Five civilians, all women and children, in the town of Akcakale were killed by Syrian artillery rounds in the worst single case of violence on the Turkish side of the border since Syria's unrest began last year.
What's behind Syria's shelling of Turkey?
While Syria hasn't confirmed its motive for firing into Turkey, rebels fighting an 18-month war against the Assad regime have allegedly been using positions on the Turkish border as a safe haven to regroup and re-arm following battles with Syrian troops.
Another explanation, says one expert, is that in a cat-and-mouse pursuit to neutralize rebel groups near the border, Syrian artillery units simply overshot their target.
"These things happen in the fog of war," Jeremy Binnie, Middle East and Africa editor of Jane's Defence Weekly, told CNN. "If your artillery battery is 10 kilometers away and you're trying to call a strike down on the border, it's pretty easy to put a few rounds in the wrong place if you put in the calculations wrong."
The incident prompted the Turkish parliament to give the government powers to authorize troops to deploy to foreign countries, along with retaliatory Turkish artillery strikes on military positions in Syria -- but both sides have insisted they don't want war.
Which country, Syria or Turkey, has the stronger military?
Turkey, a NATO member, has the most powerful military in the region. Binnie says Turkey flies Western-made jets, and that its older equipment has been upgraded and supplemented with early-warning radar airplanes and unmanned drones.
Turkey also has a formidable ground force that has spent decades fighting the Kurdish separatist rebels of the KPP in the southeast of the country.
Despite their robust military capability, and despite the fact the Syrian army has been worn down by 18 months of civil war, Binnie says Syria's missile capabilities mean Turkey's not interested in anything more than limited border excursions.
"Turkey wouldn't want to tangle with the Syrians, who do still have the ultimate deterrent of long-range chemical weapons capabilities," he told CNN.
What weapons do Syrian forces have? Where are they coming from?
Syria's greatest strength has also been its weakness in the current fight against rebels.
The Assad regime spent years buying up sophisticated long range missiles, air defense systems and chemical weapons to counter the threat of an airborne attack from Israel.
But the long-term focus on long range weaponry has left the regime unprepared to fight a guerrilla war in the streets of Syrian cities -- an approach that requires flexible, mobile infantry with stockpiles of smaller arms.
Syria has been the Middle East's top importer of Russian weaponry, most of which is now more than 20 years old -- and Binnie says the Syrian air force has been underfunded to the point of "regime forces dropping what amount to IEDs (improvised explosive devices) from helicopters."
Recently, Syria has attempted to get some of its Mi-24 attack helicopters refurbished by Russia -- a move which prompted an international outcry -- and has ordered Yak-130 advanced training jets and MiG-29 fighter jets that have yet to be delivered.
While the Kremlin has pledged not to deliver new weapons to Syria, it is unclear whether the Assad regime will get the weapons it ordered before the uprising began last year.
Syria's heavy weaponry and battle tanks may be Russian made, but wars of attrition like this also require huge amounts of small arms.
To that end, Iran -- Syria's other major regional ally -- has been using Iraqi airspace to fly small arms, infantry weaponry and personnel into Syria, according to U.S. officials.
Iraq says it is conducting random searches on Syrian-bound Iranian planes that use its airports, but as Binnie points out, "the Iraqis don't have any way to force Iranian planes to land."
In addition to the tanks and troops fanned out across the country, Syria has also deployed communications interception systems to try to track rebels. CNN reporters who have been on the ground there say for the most part using a cell phone is out of the question, as Syrian forces can easily triangulate the user's location.
What weapons do Syrian rebels have? Where are they coming from?
The rebels are severely outmatched, and most of their weaponry was either taken from Syrian military arsenals or obtained from local black markets.

text: An opportunity for sandstone climbing in the Czech Republic 14 Mar 2012 Sandstone climbing aficionados should take note that 31 March 2012 is the deadline for applying for a subsidized week long opportunity to climb in Adrspach, one of the most famous sandstone climbing areas in the Czech Republic. The "highly subsidized" event organized by the Czech Mountaineering Federation (CMF) takes place between 16 September and 23 September 2012 and costs 100 € to 150 € depending on whether you want to sleep in a cabin or a hut. The cost includes all meals and accommodations. You just have to bring your own sleeping bag. Application forms are due by 31 March 2012 and must be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com Participants have to make their own travel arrangements to the Czech Republic. The CMF says it will collect climbers on Sunday 16 September at the Prague airport or meet in Adrspach. Climbers will be hosted by the Czech Republic's best climbers and have a chance to tackle daring cracks and friction routes as well participate in evening talks and presentations. Boena Valentová, one of the organizers of the event said that federations are recommended to send two climbers, ideally one male and one female, but more if there is tremendous interest from members. Valentová, however, warns that if the meet is oversubscribed the number of places for each country might have to be reduced. The Adrspach area has more than 3,000 routes that are as high as 100 metres and the soft rock formations require special techniques. They include a ban on chalk on easy routes and no hardware such as friends or nuts. The UIAA Facebook page here has more photos. |

"There were a lot of people who wanted to buy them, and he parlayed that -- as so many of these oligarchs did -- into something much, much bigger."
While Berezovsky made a good portion of his money from luxury car sales, his wealth and political influence skyrocketed when he bought into Russian media.
He invested in the Moscow Independent Broadcasting Corp., which -- with TBS as a partner -- founded Moscow's first independent television station, TV-6.
Under President Boris Yeltsin, the Russian Federation's first president from 1991 to 1999, "there were really no rules governing anything," Dougherty said.
Businessmen who came to be known as oligarchs amassed massive wealth and political influence in the 1990s during the privatization of Russia following the fall of the Soviet Union.
Businessmen like Berezovsky wound up lending the fledgling Russian government money "when it was desperate for money," Dougherty said. "These guys picked up companies on the cheap -- for pennies on the dollar."
A year or two later, the companies were worth much more, and the owners became wealthy.
In return for backing Yeltsin, Berezovsky gained political influence within the Kremlin.
He later backed Putin for president, pouring money into the latter's political party.
Fall from political favor
But after he was elected, Putin saw that the oligarchs had the potential to gain too much political power and moved to thwart them, Dougherty said.
It has been widely reported that Putin resented the meddling of the oligarchs, particularly Berezovsky.
"He was obviously very ambitious, and he wanted, I think, to be in political control of Russia during Yeltsin's time, and that didn't work out for him," said Stuart Loory, a former Turner Broadcasting System executive vice president, who was a consultant to Berezovsky during the 1990s.
Berezovsky did not have an easy time of it as an oligarch.
"There were two attempts on his life, one at his country home outside Moscow in a gated community. Somebody planted a bomb in his car and, fortunately, it didn't work very well," Loory said.
"And the other was when he was leaving his club and there was a car bomb in the car and his driver was killed and he escaped without injury."
Fleeing to England
Within months of Putin's election in 2000, the government began trying to collect on tax claims against the oligarchs, including Berezovsky.
That's when Berezovsky fled.
Berezovsky began agitating from Britain against Putin, calling for a coup to oust the Russian president.
In 2003, as Russia was seeking his return, Berezovsky was granted political asylum by British authorities after they realized he was wanted on political grounds, not criminal, according to published reports at the time.
The case strained relations between Moscow and London.
Berezovsky was convicted of fraud and tax evasion in absentia by a Russian court in 2007.
But about two months ago, he sent a letter to Putin asking permission to return to Russia, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"He admitted that he had made a lot of mistakes, asked forgiveness for the mistakes and asked Putin to let him return home," Peskov said, according to a duty officer with the presidential press service.

Crochet braiding a stylish, inexpensive and timely alternative for do-it-yourselfers
By Leah Fletcher
Crochet braiding has become a popular hairstyling option for African American women. For those seeking to transform their naturally short hair into longer tresses for a special occasion or to change their hair color to match an outfit, crocheted braids are a non-chemical means of adding hair extensions; straight weave extensions or traditional African braids.
The process requires no hair glue or caps, so damage to the hair and scalp is minimal. The crochet braiding technique makes it easier to get a preferred look in less time and at a fraction of the cost.
While the services of a professional hairstylist or braider may be employed, many are opting to do it themselves. Those do-it-yourselfers are employing the crochet braiding technique steps that follow:
The Crochet Braiding Technique
Step 1: To begin the process, purchase loose bulk hair extensions, braiding hair extensions or micro braid extensions. Also buy a latch hook crochet needle or a rug hook, which can be purchased on the Internet, from a hair supply store or a craft supply store. Using packaged human hair gives a more natural look to the hairstyle. Synthetic hair, on the other hand, is easier to use and is less expensive. If a ponytail look or long braid look is desired, begin crocheting at the crown of the head and continue to the base of the neck.
Step 2: Prepare your hair for the crochet braiding process by washing and conditioning it. Make certain your hair is adequately moisturized.
Step 3: Begin styling by separating your hair into small equal sections on your head, parting the hair vertically from front to back. Begin creating small cornrows or French braids in each section. Braid your entire head of hair from the forehead to the nape of the neck. Create 10 to 12 cornrows. It might be necessary to increase the number of rows depending on head size. Join the ends of the braids together by braiding them together above your neck. This is the foundation for all desired hair styles. If the cornrows are not secured, the crocheted hair might become loose. Cornrows also need to be tight to avoid the uneven hang of the installed hair.
Step 4: Slide the hook end of the crochet needle under the first braid of the cornrow on the left side of the head with the hook pointing upwards.
Step 5: Fold a small section of your packaged hair in half so that each side is equal, holding it to leave a loop at the end.
Step 6: To incorporate the weave hair or braised extensions, take a small bunch of hair and insert one end of it into the crochet needle. Insert the tip of the crochet needle into the braid.
Step 7: Place the folded end of the hair around the hook of the crochet needle and pull the hair under the cornrow.
Step 8: Using your fingers, pull the two loose ends of the packaged hair through the loop and tighten. Then tie both ends of the hair into two or three knots around the base of the braid to hold it in place. The strand should lie over the top of the row, covering the natural braided hair.
Step 9: Continue crocheting the hair down the cornrow leaving only a small space between the rows until the entire head is covered.
Step 10: Cut your hair to the desired length and style. Layered looks, Bob styles, and braided twists are popular with the crochet braiding technique along with long flowing one-length looks. Weave hair may be cut to mimic any style and length. If you use human hair, curl it just like your natural hair.
+ Top Story
For a time, finding useful hair styling and grooming tips for Black men proved to be difficult. But increasingly, ethnic-oriented hairstylists and male fashion gurus are expanding the options and exploring variations on hairstyles for black men that work with their natural texture.
A facial is considered one of the best ways to care for your skin, especially when it is given by an experienced and knowledgeable esthetician. While most women hear the term "facial" bandied about and they have often thought about getting a professional facial, many don't know where to begin. So...
You are looking in the mirror and examining the face that is staring back at you. Upon further examination, you begin communicating with the visage about the desire for a new look. You ask the question: Is the answer new makeup, a new hairstyle, or a new hair color?
Nail art design exceeds the conventional manicure and gives you an opportunity to express your own creative style. Nail art, like makeup, is an easy and inexpensive way to modify your appearance when you want to match an outfit or alter your mood. Nail art services are offered in most salons.
A Hollywood entertainment blog recently featured a photo montage of high profiled actresses and models captured on what appeared to be their "bad hair days". An international model, who shall remain nameless, but noted for sporting long flowing weaves, happen to wear her hair in a sweeping updo.
The age-old debate still rages on among African American women regarding choices surrounding natural or relaxed hairstyles. There are those who prefer natural hair ranging from curly to kinky or somewhere in between. And, there are those who go to great expense to straighten their hair.
There are a variety of innovative methods African American women use extensions to twist their hair. The most common are Kinky Twists, Senegalese Twists and Havana twists. However, it's the Havana Twists hairstyle that is gaining in popularity.
As the fall season approaches, many will consider selecting a new hair routine for the cooler season. During the summer months, many African American women considered options that included curly hairstyles, loose waves and natural styles.

0 BMW Alpina's For Sale
About Alpina
BMW and Alpina have existed as separate entities for nearly a hundred years but when they combine, the two companies produce some incredible cars. The BMW Alpina is synonymous with power, energy and style and has become one of the most sought after brands of classic vehicle around.
The history of BMW is well documented and the company was first launched in 1917, shortly before the end of World War One. Through the years, they have progressed through aircraft and motorcycle manufacture to produce a range of luxury, executive and sports cars that have become popular all across the globe.
Meanwhile, the story of Alpina is an interesting one and the company's roots had very little to do with motor cars. Founded in 1965, Alpina first started making typewriters before their owner, Burkard Bovensiepen moved into vehicle tuning after making some successful investments.
The collaboration with BMW was established and the first BMW Alpina appeared in the latter half of the 1960's. The company began by tuning the BMW 1800 which had been launched in 1963. This was a perfect opportunity for Alpina to exploit because the 1800 had been brought in to replace the 1500 but it was met with a mixed reaction by those who felt that there weren't enough improvements that helped to increase the performance.
Alpina's tuning services therefore went to work on upgrading the model and this came in the form of a do it yourself tuning kit which helped to improve the intake system. Naturally, this caught BMW's attention and after their own research and development department approved the tuning kit, an official linkup between the two companies was established.
Perhaps the most iconic collaboration came in the shape of the BMW M3 Alpina. The M3 was a powerful and much sought after car in its own right but the styling and extra performance that Alpina tuning gave it, saw sales rocket. Today, if you use the term BMW Alpina, many enthusiasts will initially think of the M3 version.
Alpina gave extra performance to their cars but there were many cosmetic changes that made their models very distinctive. The company uses its own, patented range of metallic paints which set an Alpina apart from a standard BMW. In addition, these cars come with a very recognisable set of 20 spoke, alloy wheels.
Branded interiors are also present which include expensive materials and hand stitching while BMW Alpina cars all come with automatic transmissions and don't carry the manual or semi-automatic systems that BMW use themselves.
In 1983, Alpina was finally recognised as a vehicle manufacturer in its own right and although their own range of cars are unmistakably derived from the BMW production line, they are all branded solely as Alpinas.
This development came from a lot of painstaking work and it was well deserved. The joint efforts of BMW and Alpina have brought us a long list of classic vehicle over a period lasting nearly fifty years. Some have ceased production to become highly sought after classics while new models still remain to carry on the names and bring a new generation of exciting cars onto our roads.

TUTORIAL: Double Layered Gauze Swaddle Blanket
Pin It
Pin It
After Oliver was born this summer and we found out he was a boy, I sat down one night and sewed him up some of of his very own stretchy Gauze Swaddle Blankets that Dana shared on her blog a few months prior. I still don't understand how I never knew about them before especially having Oliver be my 4th little babe, I guess I missed the big craze as I was using Noah's hand-me-down blankies with the girls.
Well, Dana made them look so easy to make which they totally were and add in the fact that the gauze/muslin is super stretchy made them the perfect new baby wrap. Plus I loved how lightweight they were for my summer baby which kept him nice and snug but not too hot (again, how did I not know about them before? I mean, hello! Oliver was my 3rd baby born in the summer!)
Well this past January I had a few lovely friends have their sweet bundles of joy all within a week of one another so I decided what better gift to bring to them then one of these blankies along with a nice warm meal . This time of year though all those new little babes need to stay extra warm so I thought a Double Layered Cotton Gauze Blanket would do the trick. Stretchy, Wrappy, Cozy goodness...Perfection!
Double Layered Cotton Gauze Blanket:
Super stretchy, super sweet. I hope you make a few for the winter babes in your life!
Thanks for stopping by today!

Beautiful! I used the same printed fabric to make swaddle blankets for my baby girl- just used them in one layer though- Love how you doubled it up! Might have to re-do mine!
ReplyDeleteThose are such pretty fabrics, and any blanket that stretches to help swaddle has to be amazing. =)

ReplyDelete Hey Maggie....where did you get your tags done? The blankets are great but the tags caught my eye :)

Fly in Qantas Business Class Pajamas
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels
What good is a lie-flat seat if you're going to muss your outfit as you slumber? That, at least, is the thinking behind international airlines that distribute pajamas to their upper class passengers, and, it's good thinking -- I've noted before that flying business class is like having the best sick day ever, and where would a sick day be without great pjs?
The last time I flew Qantas three years ago, they weren't on the pajama bandwagon, but it's now a standard in-flight amenity in Business and in First. (There are different pajamas by class, naturally, differences I shall delve into after the jump, so come along.) I was in business so the pjs I received were grey cotton, with the Qantas kangaroo logo on the shirt. They come with a little cotton pouch to store the jammies in post-flight, and the inside of the shirt bears this handwritten phrase: "I wish you wonderful travels to dream land - Morrissey, x. " (The x is a goodnight kiss.) I was a little confused about why the one time lead vocalist from The Smiths was involved with Qantas pajamas -- and isn't he a Brit? I've since learned that this Morrissey's first name is Peter, the Australian fashion designer who also handles Qantas uniforms, which makes much more sense.

Canada's Sebastien Toutant made a big impact in his rookie Winter X Games appearance on Friday, earning the highest score ever recorded in a WXG Slopestyle event and pocketing a medal in the Big Air competition. Elsewhere on the mountain, Simon Dumont returned to the podium in SuperPipe, and Daron Rahlves and Tomas Kraus delivered top-ten qualifying times in Skier X.
Top Notes from Friday at Winter XG
- Seb Toots topped the Slopestyle Elimination round with a score of 97
- Simon Dumont earned a bronze in SuperPipe, his eighth WXG medal
- Seb earned a silver medal in Snowboard Big Air
- Daron Rahlves and Tomas Kraus qualified 8th and 9th in Skier X
Drama for Dumont
Simon came out swinging in his first run of the SuperPipe Final, blasting 20 feet out of the pipe on a double flair tail grab and skiing top to bottom like a man possessed with reclaiming the grandeur of X Games gold, which he has scored twice already in SuperPipe. He was riding wide open throughout the run until his last hit, when he clipped the deck and went down hard.
As he's proven many times in the past, even brutal hits in the pipe can't hold him down; he skied a more calculated second run, featuring a double mute grab 1260, a rightside 900 mute grab, the double flair tail grab and an alley-oop 720 mute, ending with the switch 1080 tail grab that took him out in his first run. Simon rocketed to the top of the standings and looked to be in line for another gold medal as skier after skier couldn't top his score.
Aspen local Torin Yater-Wallace, just 15 years old and displaying some of the same style and energy that a young Dumont was known for (and still is), proved to be a spoiler, however. He built momentum in each of his runs and eventually pushed Simon to the silver position. Defending gold medalist Kevin Rolland then pulled a banger run after botching his first two, successfully returning to the top spot on the podium.
Simon therefore earned bronze, his eighth WXG medal and his fourth halfpipe podium already this season. He'll have another crack at a medal when he competes in Big Air on Saturday.
Seb Toots on the Loose
Winter X Games rookie Sebastien Toutant didn't waste any time demonstrating how serious a threat he is in the competitive snowboard ranks, topping the world's best riders in one of the most progressive and exciting Slopestyle contests to ever go down – and it wasn't even the Final.
Seb delivered the top score in a hotly-contested Elimination round and was joined in the top three by fellow Canadian, WXG rookie and Red Bull teammate Mark McMorris. The two riders are close friends who often push each other to excel at contests, something that was plainly on display in Friday's Slopestyle and Big Air events.
"It's always fun to ride with Mark at contests," says Seb. "We push each other in every practice, and in the Final we're always challenging each other."
I love to compete and ride with Seb; he pushes me like crazy
"Every contest we go to, it's me and him battling it out," adds Mark. "It's a friendly competition, though; we're always so stoked to see each other do good. I love to compete and ride with Seb; he pushes me like crazy."
Mark and Seb served notice that they're a pair to be reckoned with, with tricks like Cab double cork 900s and frontside double cork 1080s on lock. They went on to hold podium spots – Seb in first and Mark in third – in Big Air later that evening, both landing backside double cork 1260s. A last-minute landmark triple cork from Torstein Horgmo edged Mark off the podium, but if you're going to get bumped, getting defeated by a first-in-competition trick ain't a bad way to go.
Torstein was actually the other rider to round out the top three in Slopestyle Elimination, so it's definitely going to be a heated contest on Sunday. Whatever happens, it's obvious that Toutant and McMorris have announced their arrival on action sports' biggest stage and have a lot of wins in front of them. Seb ended the day with a silver medal in Big Air, and both are sure to push each other to the Slopestyle podium on Sunday.
Saturday's WXG Events
- Snowboard SuperPipe Women (Sarka Pancochova)
- Ski Slopestyle Men Final (Bobby Brown, Elias Ambuhl, Russ Henshaw)
- Ski Big Air (Russ Henshaw, Elias Ambuhl, Bobby Brown, Simon Dumont)

Former Afghan President Killed In Attack, Officials Say
At attack at his home in Kabul has left former Afghan President Burhanuddin Rabbani dead, "two government sources" tell The Associated Press.
Reuters also reports that Rabbani, who most recently was chairman of Afghanistan's High Peace Council, was killed. "Rabbani has been martyred," Mohammed Zahir, head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Kabul Police, told the news agency.
According to the BBC, "he was meeting two members of the Taliban at his home" when there was an explosion, officials said. "It is unclear if [the Taliban representatives] were involved in the attack." The Peace Council has been negotiating with the Taliban in recent years.
An adviser to President Hamid Karzai was wounded, Reuters reports.
About the same time as the attack at Rabbani's home, the nearby U.S. embassy sounded its "duck and cover" alarm warning of a possible attack there, Reuters says.
A Tajik, Rabbani was "appointed president by the mujahideen executive council in 1992," the BBC adds, and "continued to be recognised by the U.N. as president of Afghanistan even after he was forced out by the Taliban in 1996. He was was forced to relinquish his post when Hamid Karzai was elected chairman of the interim adminstration in November 2001."
Rabbani survived a Taliban ambush in August 2009.
Update at 11 a.m. ET: From Kabul, NPR's Quil Lawrence tells the Newscast Desk that officials say two men who said they were Taliban members and wished to turn themselves in came to Rabbani's home, and that one of the men is suspected of having concealed a bomb.

Rails just keeps on changing. Both Rails 3 and 4, as well as Ruby 1.9 and 2.0, bring hundreds of improvements, including new APIs and substantial performance enhancements. The fourth edition of this award-winning classic has been reorganized and refocused so it's more useful than ever before for developers new to Ruby and Rails.
Rails 4 introduces a number of user-facing changes, and the book has been updated to match all the latest changes and new best practices in Rails. This includes full support for Ruby 2.0, controller concerns, Russian Doll caching, strong parameters, Turbolinks, new test and bin directory layouts, and much more.
(Looking for earlier versions? Rails 3.2 Edition is still available in ebook and paper).

Comments and Reviews
—Mikel Lindsaar Rails core commit team, creator of the Ruby Mail library, and director, RubyX
When I started learning Ruby on Rails, I read the first edition of this book. Its holistic view of the Rails framework and community provides any new developer the kick start they need to a highly successful career. After reading through the latest edition cover to cover, I can happily say that it continues that trend and remains the first book I recommend to any new Rails developer.
—Ken Coar Author, open software evangelist, and Apache developer
Agile Web Development with Rails does an excellent job of making the Rails environment accessible in an enjoyable and memorable way. In addition, this book is the first I've seen that provides a sensible and coherent explanation of the MVC pattern, and it does so in a natural progression using examples that completely remove any mystery.
—Glen Daniels Independent technologist and consultant
Agile Web Development with Rails successfully straddles a fine line between being a fun-to-read introduction to Rails (and Ruby) and a straightforward guide to some advanced features of the platform, nicely supplanting the everchanging online documentation.
—Keith Ballinger Chairman of WS-I's first Basic Profile working group; author; and key contributor to the .NET and Visual Studio .NET frameworks
I've never read a programming book as successful as Agile Web Development with Rails. Sam made learning Ruby on Rails easy, comprehensive, and fun.

"Effektivt tæt på lufthavn"Anmeldt af en Hotels.com-gæst d. 19. feb 2013
Super nem adgang fra terminal 2. Værelse i rigtig god stand. God seng. Ingen støj. Fik gratis vand mens man ventede på check in på hotellet. Personalet hjalp med at ændre flyafgang. Tog til downtown afgår fra kælderen og koster $5.
"Et super godt hotel lige i centrum"Anmeldt af en Hotels.com-gæst d. 17. feb 2013
Vi var heldige at have valgt Springhill Suites. Hotellet er placeret i gåafstand til centrum og mange seværdigheder. Hotellet har alle de faciliteter vi havde brug for, Dejligt værelse, ro, fitness rum, god service og morgenmad. Det eneste vi undrede os over var at morgenmaden skulle indtages af/på plast og pap tallerkner og kopper.

"Great Location to Michigan Avenue shopping!"
If you are coming to Chicago to shop and dine you can't beat the location, but this hotel has seen better days. You are greeted by a very worn looking front desk. There were no flowers in the lobby and it was sparsely furnished. The elevator (there is only one and it is very small) had worn and dirty carpeting and wood paneled walls. There were no bedside […] lamps in our room (one king bed). The bed was comfortable and clean but the towels were thin and cheap feeling. The toiletries were sparse. The room needs to painted and redecorated. I was very disappointed and could not believe Starwood hasn't remodeled this hotel given the great location. Læs mereÆgte Hotels.com-gæsteanmeldelse

"great location!"
Location was key for this trip, and the Tremont was right in the middle of the Magnificent Mile, Rush St, and plenty of places to shop, eat, and sightsee, including the Hancock building, and the water tower. Everything was under 5 minute walk. Hotel,service was great and the staff were very friendly. It seems like the only parts of the building that […] hadn't been updated were the elevators, which take forever, and the door to our room, which was a bit,ancient.

"Boutique Hotel Needs Facelift & TLC"
The hotel is well situated but needs management to pay attention to the condition of the interior. The photo's online are much nicer than in actuality. The only redeeming features for me were the comfort of the bed/pillows and cleanliness of the room. I didn't, however, feel comfortable taking a bath...which is one thing I look forward to when I travel. […] I would highly advise on the following: A fresh coat of paint would make a world of difference. Replacing the old worn out lampshades (some with pen marks on them). Changing the blinds (they were dirty). Put a full length mirror somewhere. With some money invested in a little modernization, this hotel could be a star.

"Perfect Spot"
This hotel was perfectly clean and comfortable. The room was small but I wasn't planning on spending much time in the room so that didn't bother me. The bed and pillows were really comfortable and the shower was nice. Only complaint was that a lot of the tv channels didn't really work (only got about 7 total), but if you're only watching a little tv […] before bed it's no big deal. The hotel is so conveniently located, really nice neighborhood with plenty of food, coffee, shops, etc. all within a short walk (sometimes just down the street!) We were able to stop by the room to drop something off or change clothes in between activities because it was so perfectly located. If you are planning on spending a lot of time in your room, this might not be the choice for you, but it was a great place to call home base and really comfortable at night.

"Excellent people, old hotel"
The hotel employees were excellent, they provided for our comfort very well and were easy to deal with. Check-in was a breeze. The hotel itself is old and in need of an overhaul. The one public elevator was constantly breaking down and we had to use the service elevator to get to our room. The lobby is beautiful, clean and very comfortable, the rooms […] were clean and comfortable, however, the street noise is excessive, including sirens, trash pickup at 0500 in the morning and parties going on at other businesses in the area. If I could have set the fan from air conditioner to a constant on state, it would have helped drown out the noise, but it kicked on and off all night and woke us up every time.

Best feature of the Tremont is it's close proximity to downtown Chicago and Michigan Ave (main reason we stayed at this Hotel). Staff seemed non-engaged with customer service. Twice we requested ice (no ice machines nor do rooms have ice buckets) and only one of the times did ice actually get delivered....after about a 25min wait.

- <2007 Nov> - company founded (with idea "A") by 1 founder, who's an engineering graduate, with no job experience but lot's of entrepreneural spirit
- <2008 year> - Idea "A" does well in providing the service and makes a good amount of money with only 4 employees (incl founder)
- <2008 Nov> - a co-founder joins with 8% equity and 30% pay cut from his market salary. His objective was to scale up the model and make it tech oriented. But he fails and leaves the company in a few months to go back to his job.
- <2009 Mar> - I join with a 60% pay cut from my market salary(no equity) only because i wanted to startup and found faith in the founder. Though im not a techie, but i have almost 4 years of work/job experience and i am good with ideas, processes, team building/people mgmt, relationships, sales, Bizdev, PR, networking, etc.
- <2009 Oct> - After 6 months, I request a raise and a share of equity which was promised to me before i joined. Following this, my salary is increased but remains 20% lower than the market standard at that time + 8% equity.
- <2009 Nov> - i come up with a business idea ("B"), which is unique to our industry but still works towards the same objective which our already established business (idea "A") has been in. However, my idea ("B") is highly scalable (from the looks of it) and taps into a bigger market, which our earlier business (idea "A") wouldn't have been able to.
note: now the revenues (combined by "A" and "B" ideas) of the company have increased marginally (by about 40-50% from 2008 figures) but nothing extra ordinary yet - we've been profitable since day 1. Our team has increased from 3 to 13 + 2 of us. Though, the ideai ("B") that i came up with, is still not making lot of money - it's enough to pay 13 employees' salary and office rent. While our established business' revenues are used to pump us ahead.
- <2010 Sept> - I'm not comfortable with my salary (but can manage it somehow since we're still in startup mode) BUT more importantly the equity share offered to me, I feel, is unfair if compared to the value and contribution i bring in terms of experience/expertise/efforts/dedication.
Founders' argument is
a) im taking a higher pay than him. (let's say if im taking 3x then he's taking a lil above 1x)
b) he needs to retain equity for VCs (in future) or other co-founders we might need for the technology scale up in future.
c) if i want higher equity, i'll have to take a major salary cut
My argument is
a) my involvement in the company + risk + pay cut + business idea + unflinching dedication (work hours) = much more value for the company (more than 8-10% for sure).
My confusion/questions are:
1) How much is a fair share in such a situation?
2) Is there a way/formula to calculate a number/avg?
i know this might be too long a post to spend time on for many of you - but each answer will be highly appreciated, and i'll be grateful to you for some good advice.
