Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Both electron beam computed tomography (CT) and multidetector row CT can produce diagnostic quality images of the coronary arteries following intravenous injection of contrast material. Speed and appropriate timing of image acquisition are key determinants of successful technique, and familiarity with the electromechanical relationship of the electrocardiogram (ECG) tracing to the cardiac cycle is fundamental to understanding the protocol. Images may be used to diagnose coronary artery atherosclerotic disease and pathologic states of coronary anatomy, to document the patency of bypass grafts and intraluminal stents, and to derive data regarding the functional status of the heart. This paper will review the technologic and physiologic principles fundamental to imaging coronary arteries with CT.
Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in the United States, accounting for about 460,000 deaths annually. The most recent prevalence data from 1998 indicate that 12.4 million Americans suffer some manifestation of coronary artery disease. Every day, 600 Americans die from coronary disease outside of the hospital, and 20% to 25% of first coronary events are sudden cardiac deaths. Among those who die suddenly, most often, two or more major coronary arteries are narrowed by atherosclerosis. 1
Noninvasive imaging studies play an important role in evaluation of the patient with suspected coronary artery disease. Nuclear scintigraphy is used to assess for abnormalities of myocardial perfusion, and gated acquisitions permit quantitative determination of left ventricular ejection fraction and analysis of wall motion. Echocardiography evaluates cardiac morphology and function but cannot reliably demonstrate coronary arterial morphology. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging reveals cardiac anatomy in multiple planes and can be used to assess cardiac function, myocardial perfusion, and viability. This technique continues to evolve. Scoring of coronary artery calcium content by computed tomography (CT) is a relatively new method that possesses the ability to estimate the total coronary arterial plaque burden, but cannot specifically assess the severity of obstructive coronary arterial disease.
Cardiac catheterization is the most commonly used method for direct examination of the coronary arterial lumen. More than 1 million coronary angiograms are performed each year, at an estimated cost of more than $3 billion. Furthermore, transcatheter angiography is an invasive examination with a complication rate of 1% to 2% and an associated mortality of 0.15%. Nearly one in five cardiac catheterizations demonstrates normal coronary arteries or luminal stenoses of <50%. 2,3 Therefore, a less expensive and less invasive method for evaluation of the coronary arteries has long been sought.
Until recently, electron beam CT (EBCT) was the only CT method capable of the fast exposure time required to image coronary arteries effectively. Multidetector row helical CT (MDCT) technology employs faster tube rotation times than older single-detector helical CT systems, and has the ability to acquire multiple thinner sections simultaneously, thus making helical CT evaluation of the coronary artery lumen now possible.
Electron beam CT was developed by Imatron, Inc. (South San Francisco, CA) in 1983, based on research performed at University of California at San Francisco by Douglas Boyd and coworkers. Conceptualized to permit imaging of the cardiovascular system, the scanner's configuration has fundamental differences from helical CT design (figure 1). Unlike helical CT scanners, EBCT contains no X-ray tube. Instead, an electron gun discharges a 130 keV electron beam into a vacuum funnel. This beam is deflected by electromagnetic coils such that it strikes one of four semicircular tungsten targets, which lie in arcs beneath the patient. The resultant X-rays are collimated into a fan beam prior to penetrating the patient. After passing through the patient, the X-ray photons strike a semicircular detector array positioned above the patient, opposite the tungsten targets. The scanner's use of an electron gun rather than a moving, mechanical X-ray tube permits image acquisition in either a 50-msec or 100-msec mode, allowing excellent temporal resolution for cardiac imaging. Compared withcurrent conventional CT scanners, EBCT images have increased noise and may appear somewhat grainy. This and the higher equipment cost of EBCT may explain why the systems are not in widespread clinical use.
The introduction of multirow detector arrays to helical scanning technology in 1998 revolutionized CT imaging. Continuous rotation of the X-ray tube and the multidetector array during simultaneous table feed are features of the slip-ring technology characterizing this generation of scanners. Sub-second gantry rotation time and simultaneous acquisition of four or more helical slices offers fast volume coverage with high resolution. Many typical multidetector scanners have an effective temporal resolution of 300 msec, achieved by a 500-msec gantry rotation time and utilization of half-scan interpolation algorithms. Further improvements, not yet in clinical use, may reduce the effective exposure time to ¾ 125 msec. 4
When considering acquisition times for cardiac CT, note that a heart rate of 60 beats per minute (bpm) corresponds to cardiac cycle length of 1000 msec. Electron beam CT acquisitions are typically accomplished in 50 to 100 msec. The 300-msec temporal resolution achievable on many MDCT scanners, however, requires imaging during one quarter of the cardiac cycle at this heart rate. The current temporal resolution of MDCT is useful for patients with heart rates of ¾ 70 bpm. For heart rates significantly higher than 70 bpm, some investigators have administered beta-blockers prior to scanning to slow the heart rate to an acceptable level for MDCT imaging. 5
Successful depiction of coronary artery anatomy by CT angiography (CTA) is a demanding application. Near complete suppression of motion artifact caused by the beating heart is determined not only by the speed of image acquisition, but also by the precise synchronization of image acquisition with periods of minimal cardiac motion. In a process known as ECG gating, the ECG trace is used to synchronize the acquisition or reconstruction of image data to the cardiac cycle.
Known electromechanical relationships between the phase of the cardiac cycle and the ECG trace permit the portion of the cycle with the least motion to be chosen as the temporal window for imaging.
The QRS complex heralds ventricular depolarization and the onset of ventricular systole (figure 2). Subsequent ventricular relaxation and repolarization occur during the T wave, resulting in diastole, the period of ventricular filling. Diastole can be divided into three portions: Periods of rapid ventricular filling, reduced ventricular filling, and atrial systole (which occurs on or around the P wave). The period of reduced ventricular filling, also known as diastasis of diastole or the "rest period," has been targeted as the optimal period for CT imaging because cardiac motion is minimal at this point. At higher heart rates, however, the rest period--the optimal imaging window--is disproportionately shortened compared with systole.
The distance between successive R waves (called the R-R interval) defines the length of a cardiac cycle-- the time between heart beats (figure 2). Because R wave amplitudes are large, they are convenient ECG signals for triggering acquisitions. 6 The time delay after the R wave, which serves as the trigger point for acquisition or reconstruction of coronary artery CTA images, can be expressed in either absolute or relative terms. An absolute time period, such as 450 msec, can be specified. Alternatively, the time delay can be prescribed as a percent length of the cardiac cycle, expressed as a percent of the R-R interval. For example, images acquired at 30% to 50% of the R-R interval correspond to mid-diastole, whereas the commonly used trigger of 70% to 80% of the R-R interval produces nearly end-diastolic images. 6
The coronary arteries, coursing along the surface of the beating heart within the epicardial fat, move with every heart beat. A recent angiographic study of coronary artery motion found considerable variation between patients in the range and pattern of coronary artery motion. 7 The length of the rest period for coronary arteries was strongly related to heart rate, as predicted from physiology. For heart rates >55 bpm, the rest period for the left and right coronary arteries asymptotically approached 66 msec. For heart rates <55 bpm, the rest period approached 333 msec for the left coronary artery and 200 msec for the right coronary artery. 7 The rest period was preceded by gradual slowing of coronary artery motion, and was followed by abrupt motion. The right coronary artery demonstrated both a greater excursion and velocity compared with the left coronary artery. Importantly, coronary arteries returned to the same location during the rest period of consecutive cardiac cycles. These findings support the presence of a window for near motionless coronary artery imaging and emphasize the challenge posed by faster heart rates. 7
Several recent studies report concordant results regarding the value of individual temporal windows for visualization of the right and left main coronary arteries. 4-6,8 These studies report improved visualization of the right coronary artery (RCA) at points earlier in diastole than when the common default trigger of 70% to 80% of the R-R interval typically occurs. Kopp et al 5 reported that, although principal RCA segments could often not be evaluated at triggers of 60% to 70%, even branches of the RCA could be visualized at 40%. The left circumflex artery showed optimal quality in a trigger range of 50% to 60%, while the left anterior descending coronary artery was best imaged slightly later in diastole; between 60% and 80% of the R-R interval. Improved visualization of the RCA and left circumflex artery earlier in diastole is best explained by the effects of atrial systole. On or near the P wave, late in diastole, atrial systole imparts a ballistic effect on those vessels traversing the atrioventricular groove. Each of the coronary vessels may therefore be best evaluated at a unique portion of the cardiac cycle.
Electron beam CT coronary angiography and MDCT for calcium scoring utilize prospective gating, also known as ECG-triggered sequential scanning or the "step and shoot" method. Prior to scanning, using the ECG tracing, the operator specifies a delay interval after the R wave as the trigger for scan acquisition (figure 3). The selection of delay time is intended to image the coronary arteries during their period of least motion. Once selected, the delay interval is fixed for the examination, regardless of variation in the patient's heart rate or rhythm. Scanner software predicts the length of the R-R interval (and thus, the heart rate) based on the length of a variable number of preceding R-R intervals.
Advantages of prospective ECG triggering methods include a decreased radiation dose compared to retrospective methods, because scanning is confined strictly to those periods of the cardiac cycle that were prospectively chosen for image reconstruction. However, omitting portions of the cardiac cycle may result in suboptimal images because individual coronary arteries may be best evaluated in unique portions of the cardiac cycle. Current EBCT coronary angiography software addresses this issue by offering the acquisition of three prospectively determined scan intervals within each cardiac cycle. Other disadvantages of prospective ECG triggering include its sensitivity to arrhythmias and heart rate variability during the breath-hold period. Finally, the sequential scan technique does not provide continuous volumetric coverage of the heart. While this is acceptable for coronary artery calcium determinations, degradation in z-axis resolution is an impediment to high-quality CTA reconstructions.
Coronary CTA performed with MDCT is gated retrospectively. A digitized ECG trace is continuously recorded during helical scanning following contrast injection. Slow table motion (pitch 1.5 to 3.0, depending on heart rate) is employed during multidetector helical scanning. Because the ECG is obtained simultaneously, postprocessing steps can match portions of the helical scan data set that coincide with any portion of the cardiac cycle. This permits retrospective reconstruction of data that is selective for any cardiac phase.
As in prospective gating, the portion of the cardiac cycle used for retrospective reconstruction is defined with reference to the R wave on the ECG tracing. Several different approaches to retrospective gating are technically possible (figure 4). The relative delay method designates the trigger time for image reconstruction as a fraction of the R-R interval after the previous R wave. Using this method, the delay time is calculated and applied for each individual cardiac cycle so that variations in heart rate have little or no effect on the quality of image reconstruction. The absolute delay method (also called the absolute forward method) defines the beginning of the reconstruction interval using a fixed time after the onset of the previous R wave. The absolute reverse method defines the start point for the reconstruction interval as a fixed time before the onset of the next R wave. The absolute reverse technique appears to be superior in cases of arrhythmia. 9
Advantages of retrospective gating include a decreased sensitivity to variable heart rate and rhythm. Continuous three-dimensional (3D) volumetric coverage of the heart permits reconstruction of data from any phase of the cardiac cycle. The principal disadvantage is a higher radiation dose compared with prospective techniques. The helical acquisition required for retrospective gating results in radiation throughout the entire cardiac cycle, even during those portions that are not useful for reconstructing images of the coronary arteries. Because each coronary artery may have an individual best phase for image reconstruction, it is estimated that only approximately 20% of the cardiac cycle could be potentially excluded in dose minimizing strategies. 8 Investigations are under way to synchronize reductions in tube output, with portions of the cardiac cycle not likely to be utilized for image reconstruction. 9
Multidetector CT coronary artery angiograms require at least four detector channels operating at 1-mm or 1.25-mm collimation. Narrow collimation reduces partial volume effects. Pitches between 1.5 and 3 are selected by scanner software or by reference to a standard table based upon the patient's heart rate in order to assure continuous volume coverage. Using these parameters, the cardiac volume can be covered in about 30 seconds, well within the limits of a breath hold.
Optimal visualization of coronary arteries by CTA demands opacification of the arterial lumen with minimal venous opacification (figures 5 and 6). Circulation time is estimated in most protocols using a test bolus. Ten to 20 mL of contrast material is infused into a cubital venous line at 4 mL/sec and serial transaxial images are obtained through the ascending aorta every 1 to 2 seconds in order to determine the time to peak enhancement. Most investigators add 2 to 3 seconds to the measured circulation time to ensure adequate opacification of the coronary artery lumen at the time of scanning. For the diagnostic examination, 120 to 160 mL of contrast is injected at 3 to 5 mL/sec and imaging commences following the circulation interval with simultaneous recording of a digitized ECG.
Helical technique with 1-mm collimation and sub-millimeter reconstruction increments produces a near isotropic voxel, with unparalleled resolution in the z-axis, through which the coronary arteries run. Using dedicated software and workstations, the resulting 200 to 300 axial images can be reformatted for basic interpretation in approximately 5 minutes. Curved multiplanar formats, maximum intensity projections, volume rendering, and surface shaded displays can be quickly generated to optimally display coronary arterial morphology and spatial relationships (figures 7 to 13).
Estimates for radiation dose for CT examination of the heart vary. Electron beam CT coronary calcium examinations deliver 0.8 to 0.9 mSv, while EBCT coronary angiography results in 1.7 mSv. Prospectively gated MDCT examinations for quantification of coronary artery calcium provide doses of 0.6 to 3.2 mSv. Reported doses from helical MDCT coronary angiography range from 2.4 to 8 mSv; Achenbach et al 6 report the effective radiation dose as 3.9 mSv in men and 5.8 mSv in women. Effective radiation dose reflects tissue-specific susceptibilities, and it is higher in women because they have breast tissue within the field. By comparison, a routine thoracic MDCT CT examination may result in a dose of 4 to 6 mSv, similar to the mean 5.6 mSv dose reported for diagnostic coronary angiography. Natural background radiation levels range 2 to 5 mSv per year. 4,10-12
The American Heart Association has adopted numeric segmental nomenclature for the coronary arteries. 13 Using this nomenclature in the description of stenotic lesions aids in communication with cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons.
Abnormalities of the coronary artery wall deserve particular attention. A normal coronary artery wall is 0.1 mm thick and is not readily apparent on CTA. 14 Atherosclerosis may include both calcified and noncalcified components (figure 5). In fact, the most vulnerable plaques may have little or no associated calcium, being composed of a thin fibrous cap and a lipid-rich core. Such soft-tissue plaques may produce only modest lumen stenosis, but their rupture can lead to vessel thrombosis and occlusion, precipitating myocardial infarction. Detection of soft-tissue plaque, which can otherwise be evaluated only by intracoronary ultrasound, may prove valuable in risk stratification and monitoring of drug therapies.
Finally, caution must be exercised when evaluating coronary artery segments distal to sites of angioplasty or stent placement (figure 14). Opacification of the arterial lumen distal to a site of intervention may occur as the result of contrast passage through patent lumen or contrast passage to the distal lumen via collateral circulation. Time-attenuation curves, that compare peak enhancement and contrast transit times within a distal coronary arterial segment to controls, are routinely used in EBCT studies and should be equally useful for exams obtained on multidetector scanners. 15
Patients suspected of stroke are often evaluated using a CT stroke protocol consisting of noncontrast brain CT, CT brain perfusion imaging, and CTA from the aortic arch to the circle of Willis. Similarly, a CT chest pain protocol may soon become a clinical reality. A noncontrast CT scan tailored for coronary calcium quantification could be followed by ECG-gated coronary angiography. Postprocessing steps enabling functional analysis have been described, permitting assessment of regional wall motion and left ventricular ejection fraction. 16
Multidetector CT scanners in current clinical use are routinely capable of retrospectively gated angiography of the coronary arteries for heart rates <70 bpm. Further studies are needed to clarify the appropriate use of beta-blockers in patients with faster heart rates. Bolus infusion of intravenous contrast material is followed by multidetector scanning of the heart at 1-mm or 1.25-mm collimation. Helical data is collected in a single breath hold with simultaneous digital recording of the ECG waveform. Data reconstruction is performed retrospectively in sub-millimeter increments with user-specified portions of the cardiac cycle chosen for optimal visualization of coronary arteries.
CTA of the coronary arteries is emerging from a boutique application restricted to academic referral centers to a powerful clinical tool for the evaluation of ischemic heart disease. The promise of sixteen or more detectors and further improvements in temporal resolution of scanners will make the technique even more robust. Attention to the requirements of the coronary artery CTA protocols will produce high-quality noninvasive coronary artery imaging and thereby crucial information to patients and referring clinicians.

Parents of the victims say Keegan Nydegger developed friendships with both adults and young boys.
"He would hang out with them (my sons) and be friendly with them like take them places," says Maria who didn't want her last name revealed.
Nydegger even rented a room from one of the tenants whose relative is mentally challenged.
"I trusted him," says Donna who didn't want her last name used. "I thought he was an outstanding person."
Instead Nydegger broke that trust when he allegedly raped the disabled boy.
"He's having a hard time," says the boy's aunt. "He's surviving and he's scared all the time."
Nydegger allegedly groped the woman's two boys before they got away.
"He started to touch his body and they ran away from him," says Maria. "They come and told me."
The families say a nearby skate Nydegger's hangout. Maria says Nydegger would take pictures of boys.
"My son told me that this man was always taking pictures of boys and even took pictures of my son," she says. "When we saw him in the apartment complex my husband confronted him and he (Nydegger) says he is a professional photographer taking pictures of skaters for a magazine."
But she believed that to be false. And after her boys complained that Nydegger touched her son's her husband confronted him again.
"We didn't report anything to police because he said he was going to call immigraiton on us," Maria says. "So we didn't. But when our neighbors told us that he had hurt her nephew we went to police and reported him."

HOW ULTRASOUND WORKS: Ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves and their echoes. It is similar to how bats navigate in the dark, and the SONAR used by submarines underwater. The machine transmits high-frequency sound pulses into the body using a probe. The sound waves travel through the body and bounce off any boundaries, such as between fluid and soft tissue, tissue and bone. Some of the sound waves are reflected back to the probe, while others travel further through until they bounce off another boundary. All the reflected waves are recorded by the machine, which then calculates the distance each sound wave traveled based on how long it took the sound wave's echo to return. This data is used to form a two-dimensional image based on the distances and intensities of those echoes.
ABOUT BREAST CANCER: Breast cancer is a type of cancer in which cells in the breast become abnormal and grow and divide uncontrollably, eventually forming a mass called a tumor. Some tumors are benign, meaning that they do not invade other types of tissue, although if they become big enough, they can interfere with some bodily functions, such as the flow of blood or urine. Malignant tumors have cells that can invade nearby tissues. When a cancer "metastasizes," cells from the original tumor break off and travel to other parts of the body via the blood or lymph systems. More than 75 percent of breast cancers begin in the milk ducts within the breast. The next most common site is in the glandular tissue that makes the milk.

Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.
This rich 2008 Chardonnay announces from the get-go that it is not a shy wine. Tantalizing aromas and flavors of fresh lemon and apple cider mingle with notes of butterscotch, vanilla and freshly-baked bread. The wine is full-bodied, viscous and creamy in the mouth, but with a good backbone of acidity that keeps it in balance. An excellent wine for shellfish, or linguini in white clam sauce.
"Perfumed, with a delicate mix of citrus blossom, ripe and baked apple character. Full-bodied, with a touch of finesse and polish, ending with a spicy aftertaste. Drink now through 2017. 1,650 cases made." 91 Points Wine Spectator
As the master winemaker at the famed Beringer winery in Napa for over 32 years, Ed Sbragia has made wine from every great vineyard in Northern California. Sbragia Family Vineyards is a dream Ed has had for many years, a small, family-owned winery making limited lots of wine from blocks of his favorite grapes, including his family's own Dry Creek vineyards. With his son Adam, Ed also focuses on extremely small production wines from spectacular sites, such as this 2005 Rancho Del Oso Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon.
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
Chardonnay (shar-dawn-AY) White Wine's Queen Bee Like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay can grow just about anywhere. It adapts well to different soils and different climates.

Crimes & Punishments video demonstrates player choice and consequences
Crimes & Punishments, the latest Sherlock Holmes investigation game, has a new video available demonstrating the freedom of action players will experience when conducting investigations. Players will be able to pursue various lines of enquiry and make real moral choices once they've solved the case. The clues uncovered and the avenue pursued – or not – in each of the seven cases in the game will point to 10 suspects in a single case. Still, you could put an innocent victim behind bars if you overlook certain clues or trails so once a perpetrator is established, the player must then bear the responsibility of deciding what to do with this information. Crimes & Punishment is scheduled for release on PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in Q2 2014.

It just can't get any better than this! The front desk people made us feel very welcome. We got there a bit before 3 and our room wasn't ready until 4... but they have a beautiful tea service so sitting in the cozy eating area having elegant little sandwiches, pastries and coffee and tea was a true pleasure. Our room was even more beautiful than pictured online and there was a bottle of wine and wine glasses waiting for us on the fireplace mantel. An espresso machine complete with espresso cups (not paper) was another delightful surprise as well as the coffee maker with mugs that were nicely concealed in a beautiful cabinet. The bathroom was beautiful with lots of drawers and cupboards to store all our things. Going to the spa down the street was another experience that made our stay even better than anticipated. I could go on and on with the great service, the beautiful room, the elegant champagne breakfast, the surprise of a bottle of champagne waiting for us after our spa experience ....... It was just the very best wedding anniversary we've ever had, thanks to Vintage Inn. โดย pam จาก Chico เมื่อ 02/12/2013

Hourly wages and salaries begin to increase, but inflation is eating into buying power.
Though remodeling companies' benefit packages may have shrunk during the recession, they're still important to retain good staff.
In May 2006 construction-related employment peaked at 6.5 million jobs; by 2010 (post-recession) that figure was 4.9 million jobs. The lowest paid employees in the industry — carpenters, carpenter helpers, laborers — were the hardest hit. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for carpenters during the recession decreased 45% in residential construction (23% in non-residential construction). And if they hadn't been laid off, they saw their wages stagnate or decrease.
Other residential remodeling occupations were affected, too; wages decreased and benefits shrank or completely disappeared.
From most accounts, the worst is over; consumers are looking to do remodeling projects again and remodeling companies are taking on employees. But company owners have become more conservative in their hiring practices. Many are using a lot more subcontracted labor than they did before the recession, and they're cutting back on benefits that were offered during the boom years.

What is Diabetes?
Virtually all food a person eats is converted into glucose before it enters the blood stream. With the help of insulin produced by the pancreas, glucose is taken into cells to be used as energy.
Type 1 diabetes develops when the pancreas becomes unable to produce insulin because the immune system destroyed the beta cells of the pancreas.
Type 2 diabetes, representing 90 to 95 percent of all cases, is typically caused by a decrease in insulin production, and the cells becoming less efficient at using insulin (insulin resistance). Although the pancreas continues to produce insulin, it is not enough to keep blood glucose levels in check. Type 2 diabetes is more likely to be inherited than type 1. Risk factors include obesity and a sedentary lifestyle.
Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar (diabetes) that starts or is first diagnosed during pregnancy. Pregnancy hormones can block insulin from doing its job. When this happens, glucose levels may increase in a pregnant woman's blood.
Pre-diabetes means your blood sugar level is above normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes.

The jovial noises of friendly competition, punctuated by the hum of peppy go-karts, waft across 45 rolling holes of miniature golf in Grand Old Golf & Go Karts's 5-acre home. Each of the park's three pristine mini-golf courses is designed to reflect an aspect of the region's geological character, from the sprightly rose-garden theme of the first course to the yellow caves of the third and most challenging course. Patrons 10 years of age and older can burn rubber to outstrip fellow riders in a single go-kart, and tandem go-karts allow one racer to steer through the wide track while a passenger flummoxes opponents with a series of well-timed riddles. Customers can cool down after a long day of blistering laps with a large soft drink, which revitalizes speed demons like a handshake from a cheetah.
The din of scattering pins echoes like distant thunder over billiard tables and arcade games, sonic evidence of the bustling alleys that tie Oak Valley Lanes' entire entertainment center together. As bowlers unleash balls toward distant pins, digital screens impartially tally scores. The smoke-free facility's billiards room features both full-size regular tables and felt fields for snooker. At the arcade, players can warp into digital football games, grapple the steering wheel in frenetic street races, or make up for the fact that they converted all their pocket change into tiddlywinks by hitting up the coin machine.
Hot Spot Tanning combines state-of-the-art sunless-bronzing technology with friendly, committed service. Marinade your melanin with a month of unlimited tanning in one of Hot Spot's standard bulb-based beds, which boast a bevy of advanced amenities, including built-in timers, optional air conditioning, and inspirational photos of the world's sexiest gingerbread men (a $41.99 value). Or, achieve the perfect sun-un-kissed glow thanks to the ray-less power of two airbrush tans, applied by a trained tantress to deliver a UV-free dose of customized color (each a $27.99 value).
Inflated structures, slides, and games fill the climate-controlled environs of BounceU of Nashville's location. Staff members closely monitor all activities as little ones traverse obstacle courses or pull on oversized inflatable boxing gloves. The crew also invites parents to join in on the fun, letting them bounce alongside their kids or make sweeping edicts from atop a bouncy-castle throne.
In addition to open sessions, the indoor play haven sets the stage for Daily Create and Bounce Summer Camps programs that teach art lessons and group activities. Special events include parent's night out, which lets parents spend an evening away from their kids, and cosmic bounce, which turns the facility into a black-lit arena to illuminate any lost socks.
At Goofballs Family Fun Center, kids can clamber over an indoor play structure dubbed the Jungle Blaster or find their ways through a maze of crisscrossed laser beams in the Laser Frenzy area. The 12,000-square-foot indoor play center is filled with offerings that combine traditional fun with modern touches. A music and lights show adds pizzazz to classic bumper-car rides, and the bowling alley sits near a Wii room outfitted with an array of interactive video games. As tots play, parents can snack on pizza from Noble Roman's while hanging out in a lounge equipped with free WiFi.
With classic replica airsoft guns aimed, teams navigate a 25,000-square-foot indoor battlefield. Within the battlefield's three playing areas, gun-toters conceal themselves behind stacks of tires, stationary vehicles, and small wooden buildings. As combatants slink behind crates and boxes in the shadows, opposing players ferret them out using the light affixed to their weapons and a streaming fire of plastic BBs zipping at speeds up to 375 feet per second. Game play in the radioactive room commences under the glow of black lights that turn the graffiti-laden grounds phosphorescent and opponents' teeth bluer than their songs about battles lost. Adjacent to the battleground, airsoft enthusiasts mingle in the lounge space equipped with a retail shop, party area, and arcade for parties and group events.

Definition of inn in English
Syllabification: (inn)
Pronunciation: /in/
Translate inn | into French | into German | into Italian | into Spanish
Old English (in the sense 'dwelling place, lodging'): of Germanic origin; related to in. In Middle English the word was used to translate Latin hospitium (see hospice), denoting a house of residence for students: this sense is preserved in the names of some buildings formerly used for this purpose, notably Gray's Inn and Lincoln's Inn, two of the Inns of Court. The current sense dates from late Middle English

Archived Boards and Threads... > SMF Feedback and Discussion
Session Variable via GET
one thing that I have always liked about YaBB SE vs other boards is that it does not throw a session variable into the URL. However, I'm notacing PHPSESSID in the URL every once in a while and find it annoying. Why is it annoying? Because sometimes I copy and paste URLs of a post/thread/board what have you for other people to reference. Does the SMF team intend to do away with PHPSESSID via GET before the beta release?
It's only in there because you're having cookie issues. It puts it there if you are having trouble so you will stay logged in.
I never have the thing in the URL, unless I turn my cookies off. Then it pops in, because my cookies aren't working ;).
Jeff Lewis:
I never see it here - but I'm with you on that it's annoying when sites do it that way :)
It's the only way to do it if cookies are off... although it is annoying.
Can't help it... if it's not there, you won't be logged in...

And that's fine but my cookies are always working :) I mean on other sites. If it is working because someone has a cookie issue then that is great.

Leyton Orient have devised a brilliant new warm-up exercise for their goalkeepers - and it's not for the faint hearted.
West Ham will travel to Championship outfit Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup.
Leyton Orient have been drawn to face Yeovil away in the FA Cup third round.
Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn told the players to make sure they were still in the FA Cup before the 1-0 win over Walsall.
A minute's applause will take place at all football matches in the Premier League, Football League and FA Cup this weekend to mark the passing of Nelson Mandela.
There's a break from league action as Orient take on Walsall in the FA Cup tomorrow - and midfielder Dean Cox has his heart set on a trip to Old Trafford if they make it through.
There's quite an atmosphere around Leyton Orient at the moment, as evidenced by new striker Robbie Simpson rapping for his team mates in an Indian restaurant.
Orient players raised £2,140 for their Movember efforts – but most of the moustaches have now gone.
Orient striker David Mooney has been nominated for the League One player of the month award for the second time this season.

Winchester welcomes hundreds of cyclists for charity ride
9:00am Friday 14th September 2012 in News
WHETHER they got on their bikes or on their toes, hundreds of Hampshire residents made their way to churches throughout the Winchester district on Saturday (September 8).
Organised by the Hampshire and Islands Historic Churches Trust, Ride + Stride encourages local people to visit as many churches as they can, by bicycle, or on foot, to raise money for the region's historic churches and chapels of all denominations.
Whether walking or cycling between churches, those taking part can set their own speed. In Winchester, the Cathedral Walking Group were given a cheerful send off by the Dean, the Very Revd James Atwell, as they set out on a 16-mile walk around 18 churches in the city. The group, headed by Canon Richard Lindley, were aiming to raise £1,000.
"We had a marvelous day with perfect weather" said Canon Lindley. "The Cathedral itself was visited by nearly 50 participating riders and striders".
At Easton, Winchester MP Steve Brine welcomed riders and striders to his parish church St Mary's. Mr Brine said: "Sadly a weekend full of commitments meant I couldn't commit to trips between churches this year but I'm pleased I could support the event in some small way."
Norman Denison, 77, from King's Somborne, has been involved with Ride + Stride for 20 years and says what most appeals to riders is to be welcomed personally at the churches. Mr Denison said: "I enjoy it as you see something different every time you go, at every place you visit, and some churches are quite creative – opening a café for the occasion or getting their whole choir to participate."
There was a special treat for literary enthusiasts, as all three churches in Hampshire with links to Jane Austen opened; Winchester Cathedral , her burial place, Steventon, where she lived for many years, and Chawton. More than 50 churches were involved and organisers are hoping to have raised around £60,000.

CELEBRATION: Lauren and mum Sarah Duddridge are delighted with the A *, A, B, and 6 Cs that accompany her travel and tourism qualification.
AT Ysgol Bro Morgannwg, there was great news for the boys - with seven out of 11 of the school's highest GCSE achievers (attaining A* and A grades in 13 subjects) being boys.
Lewis Harrison, Elis Jackson, Joseph Lee, Michael Scannell, Ronan Scott and Harri Williams racked up 40 A* grades and 26 A grades between them.
Meirin Evans was the school's outstanding pupil, amassing 10 A* grades, 2 As, and a distinction in Applied IT - a week after he attained full marks in his French AS exam, resulting in an A grade in the language.
And leading the way for the Year 11 girls this year were Hawys Davies, Louise Helm, Cerren Richards and Bethan Yapp who all scored an impressive array of A* and A grades in their 13 subjects.
Gabriella Gardener, 16, of Barry, said she was "very happy" and hoped to study performing arts, music and English literature in the 6th form.
Mum Jayne said: "I'm very proud. She was nervous and couldn't sleep."
Headteacher, Dr Dylan Jones said: "The school celebrated yet another set of excellent examination results in the academic and vocational subjects, as well as all pupils entered for the Welsh Bac qualification for the first time in Key Stage Four achieving their goal.
"Pupils across the ability range achieved their potential, and we are delighted that 87 per cent of the pupils achieved A* to C grades in five or more subjects.
"Congratulations to pupils and staff and we look forward to welcoming many of the successful pupils back to the sixth form where they can continue with their studies and contribute as young leaders to the schoolÕs ethos."
