adults, youth get online
Nine computer centers in central and southeast Seattle participated in Get Online! day on November 18. These centers partnered with the City and Citizens Telecommunication and Technology Advisory Board (CTTAB) in promoting and encouraging people to visit their center and learn about what resources and classes they have available in their neighborhoods. Horn of Africa Services, Neighborhood House, Refugee Women�s Alliance (ReWA), Seattle Urban League, STAR Center and four Seattle Parks and Recreation RecTech Centers at Garfield, Rainier, South Park and Yesler held open house demonstrations and staffed the event during extended hours. More than 35 volunteers from the community, non-profit and government organizations provided technical and teaching support for activities that included social networking, posting and viewing photos online, paying bills online, using email, using Skype to video conference, and understanding Internet safety. This event was tremendously fulfilling for volunteers and staff who participated in the event. A note from volunteer Karen on her experience, �It was the most rewarding volunteer experience I have had in a really long time ... I mostly worked with four adults during the session: A woman from Burundi, a man from Ecuador who heard about the event on the Internet, and an older woman who works for ReWA who has been too intimidated about computers to earn how to use them ... Now, the woman who works at ReWA will be able to create her schedules on the computer and insert pictures into documents. Now Neptali will be able to send people pictures. Now Rosa will be able to download African music and access bus schedules, and now the youth have updated their privacy settings on Facebook.� For more information about the event and to view photos, go here. eight ways to share thoughts on broadbandWashington State Broadband Program of the Department of Information Services (DIS) and the Department of Commerce recently held a workshop in Seattle to learn about the broadband needs in our area. An article summarizes the feedback provided here. This information is valuable to the State as they continue to plan future programming that will help expand broadband use and access and help fuel economic development and job creation. If you couldn't be present at the workshop, you can still share your thoughts on the needs and benefits of broadband. Use these eight communication tools for helping the State get the most accurate information about our broadband use.
online shopping � be aware! This time of year, it seems like everyone has a guide to shopping safely online. Most tip sheets focus on ways to spot insecure Web sites and harden your computer against data-stealing malware, but it�s equally important to understand from whom you�re buying before it�s too late. It�s always a good idea to shop for the best price online, but you may be sorry if you let the site with the lowest price be your only guide. If you aren�t familiar with an online merchant, take a few minutes to do some basic consumer research on the vendor. Otherwise, you could end up like the hapless consumers profiled in David Segal�s readable and entertaining story in The New York Times last week. The Times piece highlights what appears to be a serious weakness in the major search engines, a shortcoming that favors dodgy merchants: While an abundance of complaints against an online merchant may show up prominently in a Web search for that seller, searches for brand name items may take the consumer straight to the merchant�s site and bypass those negative comments. Furthermore, complaints and bad publicity may even increase an online shop�s standing in the search rankings, the story notes. If you don�t know much about the seller, investigate its reputation at one or more of the following sites: Also, it�s not uncommon for bargain basement, phantom Web sites to materialize during the holiday season and vanish forever not long afterward. If you�re buying merchandise from an online store that is brand new, the risk that you will get scammed increases significantly. But how do you know the lifespan of a site selling that must-have gadget at the lowest price? One easy way to get a quick idea is to run a basic WHOIS search on the site�s domain name. Be careful what you agree to: Check to make sure you know how long the item will take to be shipped, and that you understand the store�s return policies. Also, keep an eye out for hidden surcharges, and be wary of blithely clicking �ok� during the checkout process. This can even be an issue in main street stores: Last night, as I was paying for a prescription at a local CVS Pharmacy, I realized after the fact that I�d agreed to add a $1 charge to my credit card for a holiday charity campaign the store was promoting. As I learned when I returned to contest the charge, the point-of-sale terminal had asked for my approval for this charge, and I�d tapped the green �YES� button after swiping my card without reading the charge request, assuming it was part of the normal process of completing the credit card transaction. [Reported by Brian Krebs, KrebsOnSecurity] One of my favorite Ease of Access functions for Windows is Sticky Keys. It is a simple but effective way of making a standard keyboard more useable for someone with limited mobility. Simply press the Shift key five times and a dialog box will appear on your screen to ask if you want to turn on Sticky Keys. Press Enter or click Yes and you are ready to go. Sticky Keys enables a function key like the Shift, Ctrl or Alt, and any other key without having to hold them down at the same time. So if you want to type @, instead of holding down Shift and pressing the "2" you can now, with Sticky Keys enabled, press and release the Shift key and then press the 2. To disable Sticky Keys, simply press Shift five times again or once you hold down the Shift key and press any other key simultaneously. The computer will make a noise to let you know the function has been disabled. As I said earlier Sticky Keys is one of my favorite Ease of Access functions. It�s also a really handy function if you have limited mobility or dexterity in your hands or arms.

When Mississippi Power Company unveiled its plans in 2009 for a coal gasification plant in Kemper County, it sounded like an exciting, forward-looking idea.
The plant would use an abundant natural resource in this state — low-grade coal — for which there has not been a huge demand. It would employ pioneering technology that reduces the amount of carbon emissions normally coming from coal-fired plants. It would provide its Southeast Mississippi customers with a dependable home-grown source of electricity. It would be a major jobs provider in East Mississippi.

The Art of the Sale
Learning from the Masters About the Business of Life
Philip Delves Broughton - Author
From the author of Ahead of the Curve, a revelatory look at successful selling and how it can impact everything we doThe first book of its kind, The Art of the Sale is the result of a pilgrimage to learn the secrets of the world's foremost sales gurus. Bestselling author Philip Delves Broughton tracked down anyone who could help him understand what it took to achieve greatness in sales, from technology billionaires to the most successful saleswoman in Japan to a cannily observant rug merchant in Morocco. The wisdom and experience Broughton acquired, revealed in this outstanding book, demonstrates as never before the complex alchemy of effective selling and the power it has to overcome challenges we face every day. Introduction. Life on Steroids Chapter 1. Loose Robes Chapter 2. The Pitch Chapter 3. The Soul of a Salesman Chapter 4. I Believe Chapter 5. Leveling Chapter 6. Art and Commerce Chapter 7. The Zen of Sales Chapter 8. Hybrid Vigor Epilogue. The Lemonade Stand Acknowledgments Selected Bibliography Index "Best book on sales ever? Who knows, but it surely is the best I've ever read. As a gazillion-mile traveling salesman (ideas) myself, I learned an amazing amount about who I am and what I do from this. We all live by selling: ideas or products or peace in our time. The Art of the Sale is perhaps unique—a marvelous book about selling, and life, and who we are and how we tick. And the case studies are dazzling." — Tom Peters "For the author, sales is where the rubber hits the road, where the deals are done . . . Broughton has met with top sellers around the world, traveling to Japan, Morocco, and the United Kingdom in search of the keys to success in sales . . . Entertaining, balanced, and provocative." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Broughton, promoting the idea that sales is a virtuous calling . . . makes an appealing, contrarian pitch." — The Wall Street Journal "A descriptive account . . . long overdue." — The Economist "Like Malcolm Gladwell, Delves Broughton is drawn to success stories where natural talent takes second place to hard work, but he's also willing to explore the manipulative, deceptive aspects of the task, as well as the endless rejection salespeople must face. His enthusiasm and admiration for skilled practitioners of the art is contagious." — Publishers Weekly What inspired you to write the book? At a personal level, I wanted to learn more about selling because I've always found it so difficult myself. I considered it a necessary evil and wanted to discover a more positive way to think about it. The challenges in selling never seemed to me the techniques or the process, but rather the deeper psychological and personal challenges: resilience, optimism, the balance between service to the client and profit for oneself. None of this was addressed during my MBA program, and sales is absent from most MBA curriculums, which is an extraordinary omission. Then finally, I'm fascinated by the most human aspects of business, those moments when two people look each other in the eye and decided whether or not to trust each other, whether to buy or sell. Sales, as one great salesman told me, is the greatest laboratory there is for studying human nature. After writing this book, I agree. What role does sales play in our culture? It's everywhere, not just in commerce. We sell ourselves to each other for jobs and friendships. We sell our children on the importance of going to school. We are all selling all the time, so it's important we get comfortable with selling well. This does not mean that capitalism has permeated ever aspect of our culture - that's a whole other discussion - but rather that the back and forth inherent in selling, the importance of self-knowledge and the ability to persuade are vital to realizing our purpose, whatever that might be. People have been bombarded with books and information on how to succeed or get ahead at their job – what is different about The Art of the Sale? I hope this book helps whoever reads it to sell better, but it's not a self-help book. It's an examination of selling, the personalities who succeed at it and the psychological challenges it presents. I hope it helps people reflect on who they are and how they can make the very best of their talents through selling. But this is a very personal process. I hope that somewhere amidst the range of characters, stories and reflections in my book, each reader will find a few that deeply resonate with them. You describe your book as the "Dale Carnegie for the 21st Century" – can you elaborate? Dale Carnegie wrote about the habits and practices required to make friends and influence people. What he proposes is pure common sense. Why he's still read is because, as the CEO of the Dale Carnegie company told me, "common sense isn't common practice." I think a lot of the secrets to selling are in fact common sense, but they get buried by our enthusiasm for quasi-scientific techniques and answers. I hope that my book returns selling to a more intimate, personal level, which is where the hardest sales challenges must be solved. If you can wrestle the basics into place and develop the right mindset to sell, then it will spill over into the rest of your life with enormously positive consequences. Were there some universal qualities you found in great sales people? Resilience, persistence and optimism are the fundamental traits of good salespeople. They have high degrees of emotional intelligence and empathy, but also sufficient ego to deal with endless rejection and to push through a sale against the odds. They are great readers of people and tend to be highly creative in achieving their goals. Many are wonderful story-tellers. They really like people. I've yet to meet a great salesperson who wasn't great company. These traits and qualities can come in all kinds of packages. Is President Obama a good salesman? Is a good salesman what we need in the White House over the next 4 years? Obama's a brilliant salesman - as you must be to be elected President. Convincing the American people to put you in the White House is one of the greatest sales challenges. His particular gift is in making the great speech when it counts. He's not an effortless glad-hander the way Bill Clinton was. But cometh the moment, cometh the man. In 2008, he created an attractive vision and mobilized a terrific campaign organization behind his ideas and personality to win against the odds. That was a great selling feat. Once in office, selling is one of the President's main jobs, as it is for any chief executive. Presidents need to be able to sell their policies to get them implemented. They also need to exude confidence in difficult times. No one wants to see a shrinking President. We crave one who deals ably with the realities of the present while providing a confident view of the future. So, yes, selling is a vital skill for any President, but particularly when the country needs rallying. |

Devant arrivés à minuit, il a été difficile de contacter l'hotel; les renseignements anglais ne l'ont pas trouvé dans "les pages jaunes"??? le pb réosolu par la centrale reservation, nous avons été très bien accueilli. Après une escapade à Londres, nous devions revenir au même hotel, le surlendemain, le jeune fille à l'acceuil nous a donné notre clé, pour la même chambre, 36 h avant, pour nous permettre de rentrer tard. Exceptionnel marque de confiance!

"Good location"
Hotel was clean and tidy, the room was lovely with all facilities that are required.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Nice room but hotel could be better"
The room was a wonderfully quiet room and the amenities in the room were very good but I always judge a hotel by its breakfast as well. Although the breakfast was buffet, the range of the cooked breakfast was limited and if you dont like scrambled egg then there is not much more in options available to you. The staff were very friendly and helpfulAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Overall very good"
Second visit to this hotel with a new born this time, both visits were in an access room for a nearby family wedding. Room wise very spacious with iron, hair dryer and good bathroom facilities. Only downside (which are little niggles) is water overspill from the 'walk in shower' which can be quite slippy (but a towel on the floor overcomes problem) […] and the air con unit can be a bit nosy at times. But would recommend access room rather than standard given the choice. Breakfast is good quality and self service with plenty of seating. Location wise, although on the edge of Corby very well positioned for both the speedway and a short drive to the town centre. Adjacent to the hotel and in the same complex is a well-known pub chain (spoons), another pub chain (horse) serving good value drinks and food. Bonus is a well known pasty outlet, petrol station and supermarket of a German nature all surrounding hotel. Would definitely visit again and a better choice overall than other options in Corby and Kettering. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Great hotel"
Usually there will be something that lets down a hotel for me but I actually don't have a bad thing to say. It was comfortable, clean, nice shower, ironing facilities in the room, coffee/tea, TV, plenty of seats in the room, quiet despite nearby pub/restaurant, breakfast included...what more can you need?!Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Lovely stay"
Lovely hotel in a nice location. Staff were superb, rooms were spotless and the breakfast was great. Very nice stay overall.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Good clean hotel."
Comfortable, clean room. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. nearby fast-food options. Only complaint was water pressure from showerhead was poor.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Very relaxing"
There was a light bulb missing when entering the room, but otherwise a very comfortable stay. Thank youAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Modern characterless hotel"
We had a clean but plainly furnished room. Breakfast was in an open space and it was help yourself, although there was a helpful and friendly lady in attendance. The man at reception was very professional and polite. The surrounding district is quite busy and unattractive.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Very good."
We had a 3 night stay here, as we were attending the Burghley Horse Trials. Excellent room, although the air con was quite noisy. The breakfast was excellent and overall it was very good value for money.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Surprising comfort in Corby"
Very friendly personnel - we will book the hotel again on our next trip in three weeks.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Nice cosy hotel"
We were well received and the staff were courteous and friendly. The room was neat, comfortable and moderately spacious. The toilet/bathroom was neat and decent.Avis certifié Expedia
"Nice hotel"
Hotel was nice. Breakfast could be better, buffet was quite empty with an hour to go. I would still however recommend the hotel. Free wifi also.Avis certifié Expedia
Although it was alittle difficult to find on the sat nav, once I got to grips with the industrial estate it was easy. Close to amenities. Small car park but could leave it on the shops car park (bit nervous about that but satisfied). Excellent staff and very helpful. Handled the fire alarm very well, kept us informed and got us back to our room as quickly […] as possible once approved by firefighters. Room was clean, comfortable and tidy, everything necessary was provided. Prices were reasonable for such a late stay. Would use again if I'm in the area. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Excellent service"
The staff were very friendly, polite and ever so helpful. We took bicycles and they let us keep them in a room behind the kitchen so we didn't have to leave them on car bike rack. Wetherspoons right next door was very busy on a weekend night but didn't affect us as our room was on the other side (don't know what it would be like at the front) Domino's […] pizza opposite was a god send :o) It was very hot when we went at end of July so reception, bar and resteraunt was extremely warm, (poor staff) air conditioning in room was fantastic. Could perhaps do with slightly more storage space in room and more than one hook to hang wet, or dry, towels. Would recommend to anyone. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Ok but improvements could be made..."
I don't normally complain but there were lots of little thing which were not right. I'm aware they hotel has issues with its air conditioning which in the heatwave isn't ideal but I had to move rooms due to air conditioning in first room making a very loud noise. The air conditioning in the new room didn't work at all, was already a small fan in the […] room but this was also very noisy. ( defeated the point in moving.) Lights either side of the bed didn't work. No soap in the bathroom. Water pressure in the shower was terrible. Duvet case was miles bigger than the duvet inside it. Lady was stuck in lift on my day of departure so lift was out of order. Wifi was available bit quite slow. Having said this room was very clean, staff were very friendly and apologetic ( regarding room move) and breakfast was decent. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"Fantastic service"
Antonio the hotel manager was great, the service level was excellent. The only downfall was that a day before arrival /I called the hotel and asked to confirm if all rooms had AC and was advised that all rooms had this. On arrival, once in the room, no AC. I called the reception and told, they sent a fan which did not work and then another which you […] could hardly feel any air. They did not offer to change the room, so had to have a very uncomfortable nights sleep and morning and no windows could be opened. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Great for a family overnight stay"
The reception staff was very polite & helpful. When we arrived the sofa bed had been made up as requested and an additional set of towels had been provided. An extra mug would have been nice too. The room & bathroom were spotless. The room was a little on the small side for three but for one night it wasfine. The buffet breakfast was very good quality […] and although the hotel was busy there was plenty. The only small drawback was that there was only one lift and, it seemed, no stairs so when it was busy in the morning with both guests and staff using the lift there was quite a wait. I would definitley use this chain of hotels again & recommend to others. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"Good stopover"
Nice stopover hotel, free breakfast is fine. Car parking outside, not massive but plenty of other spaces nearby. Number of eating options within walking distanceAvis certifié Hotels.com
"I'd never go back"
The rooms do not have opening windows. In fact they're hermetically sealed. What kind of person thinks that this is a good design? The air conditioning was very noisy so we spent the night sweltering in the heat and drowning in our own carbon dioxide.The best thing that can be said about the breakfast was that it was edible! There is a sign up saying […] that the breakfast is complimentary even though we were charged for bed AND breakfast. When we gave the staff our feedback about the quality of the breakfast they said you can't expect much as it is complimentary. The staff were friendly but the area wasn't. It's in an industrial estate and right next door to a pub with lots of serious drinkers. The best place to get food in the area was a Hungry Horse pub which isn't exactly h'ote cuisine. Glad we only stayed one night Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Excellent value for money"
Enjoyable stay. The only complaint would be an unsettled night's rest due to a number of younger guests (aged 8 years +) running through hotel corridor(s) noisely until early hours of the morning.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"brilliant service"
brilliant from start to finish ,top quality staff,wished our stay was longer.Avis certifié Hotels.com

"Just the job"
Nice hotel, comfy room with good wi fi and a decent TV. Everything you need in the room. The cooked breakfast was the only let down as it was a bit dry (had been left under heater for too long). No problem if you had cereals etc.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"good VALUE HOTEL"
Initial arrival showed very lacking in available parking, however parking available nearby. Room was pleasantly decorated and attention to detail including bathroom accessories. Unfortunately bed was very hard, with very uncomfortable pillows. not enough pillows available for the number of guests. sofa bed appeared of good design to begin with but had […] a large metal joint protruding up, which was not able to be cushioned or padded easily. three guests using the room and provided with one bath towel. disable room as requested, bathroom not well designed as floor flooded when shower was used, soaking clothing laying on floor to be dressed in. breakfast was much nicer than it looked. Staff pleasant and helpful in restaurant. Disappointed ,but for the cost ok. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"Mostly Harmless (the hotel, not Corby)"
First impressions here aren't great. The car park is tiny so you've got to leave your car outside Wetherspoons in what looks like either a half build or half abandoned 'retail park'. You then get to the hotel to be greeted by a sheet of A4 selotaped to the door saying that it is permenantly locked "for security reasons". You ring the bell and in you […] go. Reception is staffed by a team from around the globe (the locals must be too scary to employ) and are efficient. My room was on the first floor (or "floor 2" as it says in the lift???). This was good because it meant that it was further away from the fighting locals on the grass outside. The room is fine, decent bed, reasonable shower (no bath), flat screen TV etc. The eating area (you wouldn't describe it as a restaurant) is not the best - one large communal table and a few tiny two seater tables and the odd settee dotted around. The food arrives alarmingly quickly - two minutes from order to being on your table - that must be some powerful microwave they have! All in all it's just 'OK'. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Friendly staff"
Very impressed would use againAvis certifié Hotels.com
"very clean and staff are a real asset"
The staff at this hotel are so friendly that I honestly can't fault them. Rooms are much nicer than your standard budget hotel and are cleaned to an immaculate standard, my only criticism would be the cheap thin duvets..with such nice rooms and decor, it is a real shame the duvets are like soggy wafers. Breakfast is buffet style and there's plenty […] of choice, once again, the ever friendly staff make breakfast enjoyable and relaxed but the cleanliness is just faultless. I would go back, its just a shame that the area has a bad reputation as I really liked its situation with a pub across the road, etc.. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
Great hotel, Lovely friendly staff who took time to tell us when breakfast was served and to show us the night before where to eat it , and if we needed anything to just ask. The room was very clean and warm. We had ample room to sit and watch tv in comfort. The bed was comfy and the shower was superb however we feel we needed a slip mat. The location […] of the Hotel was right next to a wetherspoon pub, great for us as you can get great meals and drinks. We would definitly stay again and recommend the Hotel.

"not recommended"
The location of the hotel was convenient and the room was relatively clean.

"Great value, great staff"
I found the hotel to be very clean and well maintained. Room was comfortable and had pretty decent amenities. Altogether a good stay, for what I thought was a very reasonable price. The only small downside was that there wasn't much in the way of decent eating establishments nearby.Avis certifié Hotels.com

Good value for a middle of the range hotel. One oe two places to eat nearby and a fairly quiet location. Good for a one night stopoverAvis certifié Hotels.com
Check in and out was very slow it took a while to get attention at the desk. I also reported a fault with a desk light on the 1st night and it was not fixed.

"Staff were a massive positive during our stay"
The hotel itself is very modern and clean, yet comfortable. The rooms have everything you would want including wired internet, TVs with more than the normal hotel TV channels, plus complimentary body wash, shampoo etc.. the breakfast was good with a wide range of pastries, muffins, toast, cereals and a cooked breakfast buffet available also. Overall, […] it struck me like a budget hotel with a few premium touches to make it feel less like a travelodge. The real plus for me though, was the staff! Anton on reception was exceptionally friendly and cheerful and rang our room to check everything was ok, which was a nice touch. On coming down to breakfast, we were greeted by a very friendly blonde lady (I wish I had taken her name as she deserves credit for her welcoming and ever helpful manner) - the staff were really very helpful and made the stay much more positive overall.

Breakfast was very poor and lots of unwanted hairs in bathroom. Bed very uncomftable too. Overall not very impressed.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Great for a family and fantastic value for money!"
We stayed here on 28th September while attending a family wedding. The room was very clean and modern. It was also spacious and we still had plenty of room to move around even when the sofa bed was pulled out. Shower was lovely and the temperature control was easy. Iron and Ironing board in our room as well as plenty of towels, handwash and hand cream, […] shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room (although we didn't have a kettle and didn't notice until we wanted a drink first thing in the morning!). There are plenty of different lights in the bedroom and we found it great to have the reading light on which is flexible and provided enough light to see although still allowed us all to sleep. Queen size bed and sofa bed where both comfortable and our twin almost 3 year olds stayed put all night which was a bonus!!! Complimentary breakfast was included which was fantastic. Again, clean and roomy breakfast area to help yourself too. Coffee, juices, cerials, toast and jams, bacon, sausage, beans, scambled egg and mini chocolate or blueberry muffins (oh and bananas, oranges and yogarts in the fridge). We got up fairly late so dipped out on the croissants. All in all a fabulous breakfast choice. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia

This source linked is only McCain - Palin's initial correspondence to YouTube. YouTube's response can be viewed here:
This letter by the McCain campaign expresses former presidential candidate's displeasure with YouTube over questionable infringement claims made by the national news media. After the campaign created advertisements using well known video clips from national media sources and uploaded them to YouTube, news organizations like CBS sent YouTube DMCA takedown notices for hosting videos that they believed infringed on their copyright. Central to their claim was the fact that they did not want their videos and personalities to be seen as endorsing one candidate or another. YouTube promptly removed the videos, which drew the ire of the McCain campaign. Even though YouTube was properly following DMCA protocol, McCain lamented that the process would take too long to be resolved (between 10 and 14 days), and asserted that YouTube should make a fair use judgment itself before removing the video. McCain asked for special treatment, allowing for videos uploading by the official candidates' campaigns to be looked at differently when receiving takedown notices. In YouTube's response, the video host declined these requests claiming that it was simply following the procedure laid out in the DMCA to protect its safe harbor status, and that they could not discriminate between uploaders. A McCain representative asserted that the DMCA does not necessarily define with what specific speed a host must comply with a takedown notice, and responding automatically is not mandated.
This situation provides one of the central examples I will use in my paper. McCain's difficulties with the intricacies of the DMCA provide a high profile example of how certain provisions can be abused. It is particularly valuable because even though the correspondence is between the McCain campaign and YouTube, both organizations are effectively complaining about the takedown and notice process, albeit to different degrees. Even as YouTube says it is simply following protocol, it criticizes those who abuse the takedown process. Meanwhile, the McCain campaign reiterates the problems many see in the lack of timely recourse alleged infringers have in the process.

John Thompson Scholarship
John Thompson attended OC in the 1970s, during which he served as the school's first African-American student body president and won the Outstanding History Student award. He went on to complete his M.A. at the University of Oklahoma and his Ph.D. at Purdue University. Following the completion of his doctorate, John returned to the campus he loved so much, OC. Dr. Thompson was a longtime Professor of History at the University, serving as a faculty member from 1980 through 2008. During his tenure at OC, Dr. Thompson came to be one of the most loved and admired faculty members on campus. He displayed a passion and commitment to his students and to this university that was unsurpassed. He earned the University's Gaylord Chair of Distinguished Teaching in 1998 and was awarded the "2nd Mile Award," which recognizes faculty and staff who have committed to going "above and beyond expectations in service to students," in the spring of 2008. Late in his career he persevered to overcome chronic illnesses, often teaching classes from his hospital bed via telephone. Nearly as passionate about his field as his students, Dr. Thompson was an expert in African-American history, African civilization, the Civil War and many other related topics. President Mike O'Neal said that John Thompson epitomized servant leadership and was a model for all OC faculty and staff. "He was truly dedicated to the students and was deeply concerned about their spiritual wellbeing, as well as academics." Dr. John Thompson passed away on December 12, 2008.
The John Thompson Memorial Scholarship Fund
The fund is intended to provide scholarships for students majoring in the Department of History and Political Science who display academic excellence and a commitment to personal growth. Special consideration will be given to student applicants from an ethnic minority background. Although the department hopes eventually to offer 4 scholarships renewable for up to 4 years, funding currently allows for 1 scholarship. POSTMARK DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: MARCH 8

Bedspread Makeover Tour
I have been looking at bedding online and in every store that had a bedding section for the past few months trying to decide what I wanted. I was tempted to get something completely different than what I had that would require an entire room re-do (and maybe even master bathroom re-do), but I restrained myself. :) I decided on white so that it would go with what we currently have, but would also fit in well if we repaint or make some other changes (like the headboard project that I'll get to one of these days). I also knew that I wanted a comforter and bedskirt instead of a bedspread. It's so much easier to make the bed when you have a comforter.
So without further ado, here is a tour of my new and improved bedroom. :)
The bedspread has a damask pattern, but it doesn't show up in the picture. I put the quilt across the cedar chest at the foot of the bed.
Mike thought I was crazy to hang plates on the wall. :) I'll be on the lookout at local thrift stores for more to add to the display.
My antique vanity table. The girls love to sit here and comb their hair. It's missing a couple of knobs and I'm hoping to eventually find some suitable replacements.
My bedside table. It would probably look better if I took the glass off, but it gets dusty so quickly that I would have to wash the table cloth at least once a week. This way I just dust the glass weekly and wash the tablecloth once a month. By the way, I have a huge stack of books hidden under there. :) Oh, and do you like my little polka dot reading glasses? Unfortunately I can't read without them.
By the way I am deliberately not showing you Mike's bedside table. His looks very similar to mine except that it is covered with change, about 10 books, a flashlight, a cross made with nails that a friend gave him, the remote control (yes we have a TV in the bedroom), some pencils, highlighters...Well, you get the idea. He's a bit of a clutter bug, but I love him anyway. ;)

I just love it. I recently bought a new bedspread and happy with the way it turned out. have a great day.

And I am so happy for you, I felt your pain when you wrote about your raggedy spread.

I collect plates from places we travel and they are on the kitchen in my kitchen along with some plates from my great grandmother. I have a bowl from my husband's grandmother as well. I don't think it's weird, they are too pretty to not show off.
What causes so much dust. It's the bane of my existence. We know longer have indoor cats (the dog only comes in at night) but I constantly fight dust. I covered my dresser with glass too, to protect the wood from my nightly medicine taking glass. - February 19, 2009 at 4:50 PM

OH wow!!! I have that exact same vanity table!! It's currently residing under the basement steps until it can get refinished. It's been used by 4 girls and rather abused. I have no idea where it came from, if it was my mom's or what, but I'm going to put it in my grand-daughters' guest room along with the gentleman's dresser with a marble top that is from my dh's side.
How neat that we both have one. :) - February 19, 2009 at 7:45 PM

Good job on the redo! I love the quilt at the foot of the bed.
If you keep your eye out, you will find knobs...we have an amazing antiques mall here (read: junk store galore) and they are always turning up there.

Oh housewife....you have got to get an OLD WOODEN DOOR and make it into a headboard.....would go so well with your new bedspread. I love it!! Google old door headboard and see how people are making them.....

I have an old door for a head board like someone else said. Mine was covered in lead paint so my husband put a protective cover of clear polyurathane (sp?) I also have plates about my bed. I also collect old plates when I can find them for little money. Over the years I have enough that they go all around the top of my bedroom wall like a 'wall paper border' would go. I love them. I do not think I paid but .50 for each of them. Some were from my grandmother. I love your new spread. My own spread is getting pretty shabby. I will be making a cover for it when I can find some sheets on sale. Roxie

I know you are going to think I am making this up, but I have the same exact plates hanging in my youngest child's room. AND, it is painted that exact shade of green.
I swear I am telling the truth.
The only difference is that I have a hobnail (candlewick/Bates-type) designed bedspread. - February 21, 2009 at 6:46 PM

I just discovered your blog from Carol's Heirloom Collection. I adore your antique vanity and those Cinderella shoes!

Circa59 at Riviera Palm Springs
Online Reservations
My guests that were staying at our boutique hotel asked us where to get a great meal. We suggested Circa 59 and they were wowed! Loved it. Suzy POSH Palm Springs Hotel
The food was wonderful and the live music was a plus
No complaints. The food was fabulous and the ambience (outdoors) was extraordinary!
Celebrated my birthday at Circa 59, the ambiance was perfect for a either a quiet romantic dinner or group dinner. The decor was very chic and trendy and the server was great. I had the prefix menu and it was very reasonable price and the amount of food. I had the salmon on risotto, I don't really care for risotto but to my surprise it was very tasty. Our waiter recommended two different wines and for the price they were surprisingly very good. I would definitely come again!!!
Lance was outstanding. He was our server both evenings. Our dinners were outstanding and the most memorable part of our weekend at The Riviera.
We had breakfast at Circa 59 before we checked out of the hotel. I ordered the 'Riv' bennie with candied bacon, cabbage slaw, griddled tomato, and a parmesan hollandaise. The poached eggs were perfect. The slaw and bacon were a bit too sweet. My husband ordered a side of the bacon, but it was just too sweet. Potatoes and arugula salad were good too. Hubby ordered a 'Frank' omelet with short rib, mushroom, crispy onion, parmesan, and truffle oil. He didn't like the truffle favor; but if that's something you like, you'd like it. He said the short rib was good. I had a Bloody, which was just okay. The ones at the Bikini bar and Deep End bar are much better, but more expensive. Coffee was good. Service was fair. Nice outdoor seating.
Circa 59 is a great restaurant in a fantastic hotel. Food is creative and consistently very good. The service has been very lacking in the past, but it seems that that has been rectified. It is much more organized than it used to be. You can't beat the interior or the outdoor patio area for lunch or dinner. Always a great place to take someone for a special occasion or to impress with the decor.
We last enjoyed this venue three years ago and are happy to report it's still a first class dining experience. Service and food were superb. The manager of the resort greeted us on exit to make sure we were satisfied.
We were recommended this restaurant so decided to give it a try. It is in the Riviera hotel- which is retro throughout. It continues into the restaurant. We were there for restaurant week and 2 of us had the price fix menu and two did not. The porkchop is to die for- so moist and juicy- did not like the potatoes - wayyy too salty. The flat iron steak was phenominal as well as the tuna entre and the lobster mac cheese. I would recommend this place- go hungry- come home satisfied.
This would have been a wonderful evening if it weren't for the band on the patio playing way too loud and not all that good.
We had been wanting to try Circa 59 and we are so glad we did. Food, presentation and service were all excellent. Try the scallop and beet appetizer...it was delicious as was the porkchop with homemade applesause
Had an amazing dinner. Atmosphere was hip, trendy, cool. Service was exceptional (ask for Lance). Cuisine was off the charts. Hard to find a five-star restaurant in Palm Springs that ticks all the boxes. At the upper end of the price range, but well worth it! You won't be disappointed with Circa 59!
I only recently discovered Circa 59 and have now been back several times. That really says it all. Exceptional service, great atmosphere, and a fantastic menu. You won't be disappointed.
We stayed at the Riviera hotel from weds through fri for my "50" birthday trip. Had dinner 2 times and 1 breakfast in the Circa59 restaurant. Dinner 1st night was great, had the Wedge Salad with candied Bacon...yum. I also had the flat bread, huge portion. Next night we started in the Sidebar with the cheese plate and shrimp cocktail. I had the side macaroni and cheese for dinner and he had the Chop, chop salad with side of steak. Very good. Try the special drinks on the menu. The fruit plate for breakfast was BIG, share! The only thing we didn't like to much, the Circa potato's were very salty. Otherwise great place.
The ambience is amazing, the food is very good but the service is only fair. Staff is very nice but getting food out of the kitchen is very slow. The tuna taco appetizer was spectacular but my chicken entree was ho hum. Still a great place to go.

As expected, The Pirate Bay returns
The Pirate Bay, the highly controversial BitTorrent search engine, re-emerged Tuesday in typically defiant fashion after Hollywood film studios helped trigger a day-long blackout of the site.
The Web site, which is targeted for elimination by content owners nearly the world over, presumably has found a new bandwidth provider. The service, which has helped millions of people locate and eventually download scores of pirated films, had been temporarily subdued Monday after German authorities ordered its then-Internet host to cease providing Web access to the site.
On Tuesday morning, the Pirate Bay posted a photo of a cat and a note--in … Read more

Neighborhoods: Duboce Triangle, Duboce Triangle (Deco Ghetto), Central
Editorial Review by Citysearch Staff
"An affordable seafood menu served in swanky digs captures the heart of the Castro.
The Scene
Neighborhood hipsters throng at the bar featuring the fabulous selection of handcrafted cocktails, often adding to the high noise level--come for an early visit to actually hear your dining companion . A cleverly designed, enclosed patio with a circular fireplace keeps all warm even on blustery nights.
The Food
Though the name Catch could playfully refer to the plethora of dating options at the bar; it's also a hint at the menu's seafood fare. Tangy tuna tartare is studded with capers and onions; meaty, smoked salmon sushi roll with tempura shrimp is exquisite. The signature Seafood Stew blends all the required elements into a cheerful, heaping bowl."
A Seafood Must! – Catch is a great restaurant to go to! I definitely recommend this place to people that love an ambient place to dine and have a good time. The service is very friendly and the food is always fresh. The bar is always equipped with great choices to choose from. I loved the sushi and the calamari and i was only on the appetizer! I savored each and every bite that I took, and then when dinner came along I was at awe. The halibut melted in my mouth and as I sipped my wine I realized that they complimented each other in a way that words cannot explain. I didn't want to leave. Then came the dessert.
The brownie and ice cream was delightful as I indulged into it with a great pleasure. Catch is definitely a place that I will return to more than once! I advise you to come too!
BEST NEIGHBORHOOD RESTAURANT – Really great place to dine. The fish is always fresh and cooked perfectly. I really like the patio and the view out towards busy Market Street. I can take my dog along and sit at the sidewalk seating. Brunches are fairly priced and the service is excellant.
I love this place – I really love to dine at Catch. there are a lot of different choices there, and my family really loves it. We are regulars, and a happy to be. There is ambiance everywhere, and the outdoor fire makes the restaurants cozy on a cold day. I really like that you can substitute parts of the dish for something that you would rather prefer. the service is really friendly, and the owner is as well.It is an all in all amazing restaurant.
Love the Calamari! – I went to this restaurant on a double date a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, my blind date didn't like seafood, which could have been a problem, seeing that we were in a seafood restaurant. Instead, he ordered one of the many other dishes that didn't contain seafood. Most other places wouldn't have anything else, but Catch offers dishes other then seafood, which was extremely helpful in this case. We occasionally come back to this place to celebrate where we first met each other. The romantic settings are perfect for a dinner for two.And we absolutely adore the pianist on the platform near the ceiling.
Really Good! – Catch is a great restaraunt. The deck is fabulous - it is heated. Service is fast and the food is really good. Very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere.
YOU HAVE TO GO THERE! – Catch has got to be the most marvelous fish restaurant i have ever been to in my life! i was truly amazed by this astonishing dining experience. EVERYTHING is perfect about it: the beautiful deco with outdoor heated patio, the wonderful, quick and friendly serivce, and who could forget the most outstanding, mouth watering, remarkable, fresh fish food you have ever tasted! You will NOT be disappointed! trust me!
One of My Favorite Places to go on a Saturday Night – I discovered this place when one of my good friends recommended it to me. It has amazing food, a little something for everyone. The nice flavors and the excellent wine selection mix well together. If you are a lover of seafood like myself, then this is an perfect spot for a nice dinner. The atmosphere is great too. With an inside portion and an outside patio, the diner gets to choose the best spot. Located on a nice street, you can watch the night life while staying warm by the heated lamps. The only problem is that it can get semi-crowded at times. I highly recommend this place for any type of occasion.
Great Ambiance, Cool, Great Food – Catch was a pleasant surprise. As you walk in the ambiance is cool and refreshing -- it's fresh looking, relaxing, and happening. The menu is really good -- has a variety of seafood items, plus chicken, steak, veggie, and pasta dishes. The sushi appetizer is to die for, and so is the Artichoke appetizer!! We really enjoyed the food, and the live piano music just makes it a special place to visit. We go there regularly now.
decent food, pleasant service, overpriced for the fare – Our waiter was pleasant, the food decent but nothing to write home about, however for the price you can eat one thousand times better in this city, all-in-all average
Exceptional Service, Atmosphere, Food overcooked and oily – We went to Catch after reading all of the positive reviews on this site. The outdoor seating area with the fire place was the perfect setting for a cozy dinner for two. We ordered the sushi, the rice was cooked to the point of mush and the shrimp were greasy. My husband had the french onion soup which was really bland, did not taste seasoned at all. We shared fish and chips as an entree. The french fries were really good, but the fish was really oily. The Tuesday night wine special is a great deal and our waiter was Gary Danko quality. I would go back for drinks on the patio and great service, but would skip the food.

Transfer to Hofstra – A Move in the Right Direction
Learn How Your Credits Go Further at Hofstra – Attend Transfer Open House
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY – The Hofstra University Office of Undergraduate Admission is hosting a Transfer Open House on Friday, March 9, 2012 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Check-in at the Sondra and David S. Mack Student Center, North Campus. Please register online at hofstra.edu/transferevent or call 1-800-HOFSTRA.
At the Transfer Open House students will meet representatives from the Frank G. Zarb School of Business; Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; Hofstra University Honors College; School of Communication; School of Engineering and Applied Science and School of Education, Health and Human Services.
Transfer students are encouraged to take this opportunity to ask students, faculty and administrators what it is like to be a member of this active community. Residence hall tours will also be available. Students interested in transferring to Hofstra are encouraged to attend and learn about the transfer process, speak with current transfer students and attend presentations on academic and student affairs.

"Your credits now go further at Hofstra," says Dr. Herman Berliner, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs. "We have maximized the transferability of credits to meet Hofstra degree requirements. More than ever before, we are making the transfer experience as seamless as possible."
After finishing a year or two at another institution, transfer students are eager to focus on a major. To make this transition easier, we give new transfer students greater flexibility in fulfilling their general education requirements – Hofstra's "Distribution" – with coursework from their prior institution. For example, any three or more credit transfer science class will fulfill the "Natural Science" distribution category, and any three or more credit transfer psychology class will fulfill the "Behavior Social Science" distribution category. It is possible for transfer student bringing in one or more years of transfer credit to fulfill most or all general education distribution requirements before starting their first semester at Hofstra.

In the late 80's, skate shoes mainly consisted of overly simple suedes and basketball hi-tops. Enter the Airwalk Prototype Series. These shoes took the first serious look at improving skate characteristics like durability, grip, and comfort. These reissued Prototype 600s accomplish all that with rubber ollie pads, outsole flex grooves, padded collar and tongue and bangin' 80's style. This colorway is based on the classic Bruiser and hits in a rich blue/black combination. This limited edition style is exclusive to Airwalk.com.

May God's will be done. Just found something seriously wrong. It could mean death. Please pray that the strength to go thru this can be done. It would help if there was a stong hand & should to lean on will happen. Fear of being alone w/o a human touch to give courage thru the bad time. Yes I know God is there but to be able to feel a real hand is missing. Bless you all.
