"Bardzo dobry!"Oceniony przez gościa grupy Hotels.com w dniu cze 8, 2012
Bardzo dobry hotel- zwłaszcza jeżeli weżmie sie pod uwagę weekendową cenę - w przeciwnym razie kosztuje majątek! Jedyną wadą jest jego lokalizacja - daleko od centrum Waszyngtonu do którego mozna sie dostac samochodem ( o ile sie go ma) -ale tylko w weekend bo wdzień roboczy ze wzgldu na korki i ograniczone mozliwości parkowania trzeba o tym zapomnieć! lub za pomocą metra korzystając z autobusu który dowozi w ciagu 10 minut do stacji metra.

"Blisko Capitolu"Komentarz: Wojciech M - "Katowice, Polska", dnia sie 11, 2011
Dobry hotel z niewielkim basenem na dachu bardzo blisko Union Station( ważne dla podróżujących pociągiem oraz dla lokalnej komunikacji) i Capitolu. Pozostałe atrakcje już nieco dalej (min 20min piechotą) co po całym dniu zwiedzania może być męcząc) podobnie jak większość restauracjii knajp. w pobliży ( 5 min) dwie fajne małe knajpki z dobrym jedzeniem i lokalnym piwem) Internet płatny w pokojach, w lobby free, parking $ 30 za dobę. Nasz pokój nieprzyjemnie pachniał i trzeba było zmienić. inny był już OK. trochę głośna klimatyzacja ale można się przyzwyczaić. Generalnie dobry hotel , może wykładziny podłogowe trochę zużyte. 4 windy, nie trzeba czekać
"HolidayInn Washington Center"Komentarz: P Z - "Warszawa, PL", dnia maj 1, 2011
I would recomend this hotel. It is quite good location to visit White House and other attractions.

"Clean and Neat"
Not a five star but perfect for what we wanted - location... location.... location. Hotel is immaculate and comfortable. When the lights go out they all look the same.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
"Nice weekend stay"
This hotel has one very nice feature: the shuttle bus will take you to the stores or wherever within a 5 mile radius from the hotel, should you need a ride. This of course only if there is no airport needs. This service proved very good as they came rather quickly also for the pickups after our shopping etc. was done. Hotel reception was very attentive […] to our needs and the included breakfast was a life saver. We moved to another Hyatt after this and we all agree that this one had a better value for our money. The rooms are spacious and the price for the rooms is very, very good for what you get. I definitely recommend this hotel and we would've stayed except we couldn't due to a business meeting at the other one. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
"Excellent hotel for a reasonable price"
We have stayed at this Hyatt Place many times when visiting family living in Sterling VA and we've never been disappointed. The rooms are clean and nicely furnished. The staff is courteous and helpful. They serve a great hot breakfast with lots of choices and it's included in the price of the room. There is plenty of free parking. The hotel is in an […] area of small office buildings so there are no restaurants within easy walking distance. But there are shopping centers with restaurants within a 5-10 minute drive. And Dulles Airport is only 15 minutes away. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

"Close to a job site"
Our guys said it was very nice. They said it was better than the hotel in Virginia Beach for another job to do.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
Don't know how this hotel can be rated any higher than 1 of 5. Carpeting in public areas is filthy, furniture in lobby dirty with food stains and yesterday's food, kitchen is dirty, microwave too dirty to touch inside and outside, Food still cold from refrigerator or not cooked. Shower floor has black mold.Prawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
Would absolutely return to this hotel should I return to the DC areaPrawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
The Internet would not work on my laptop. Had staff try it but still no connection. He said something about a "proxy" and that someone else would look at it in 5 minutes. After a half hour, I had to leave to find another internet source. An evening I thought I could have spent in the hotel room working, turned into me going elsewhere and not getting […] back to the hotel until 2 AM. I had picked this hotel and paid extra over other hotels without room Internet just to get the internet in the room as I knew I was going to have to use it. Not happy about that!! so will probably go elsewhere next month. Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com

"Love HP just not this one"
I have stayed at multiple Hyatt Place hotels. This one, I must say was not the best. I arrived right at midnight and checked in with ease. The room was clean. There wasn't a bathtub just a long shower ( which was fine). No microwave. So I went to grab something from the scarce "24/7" deli. Considering it was a little after midnight I didn't expect children […] to be up. Well, these children happen to belong to the employee. They were quiet and mannered but, still at work with the parent and up and about well after midnight. The AM Skillet-which is their complimentary breakfast was barely beyond continental. Other Hyatt places have better food selection and ambiance. My biggest issue with this hotel, is while in my room, throughout the night anytime someone enter/exited their room, my whole room would rattle like an earthquake. So it was hard to rest. I am a Hyatt Place fan but this one just let me down overall. It was clean and fresh and located close to many shops and an airport Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Hotels.com
"Place to rest before 5K event"
Very comfortable, clean/neat and peaceful environment, appreciated the included breakfast to fuel up before my 5K event at a nearby (40 mins) winery.

"Clean, quiet, and accommodating."
Booked it last minute for a great price. Room was spacious, comfortable, clean and the staff was wonderful. The large breakfast was more than expected and for the price too! Only negatives to my stay was that it is a bit of a drive from the city, but everything you need commercially is near by. The 5 AM fire alarm (only on the first night) was the roughest […] part of the stay, but everything else was perfect! Przeczytaj więcejPrawdziwa opinia gościa Expedia

Everything ran pretty smooth. The rooms were well kept, the couches had stains and smelled weird. The refrigerator was not on so our drinks were still not cold by that night. Also the extra pillow for the sofa bed did not have a fresh pillow case, seem to have been there for a while. There was a wonderful selection of food for breakfast. The hotel offered […] snacks but a sandwhich was over $10, little pricey so we decided to look for a restaurant and found many close by. We opted for Outback Steakhouse.

"Luxury on a budget near Dullus Airport"
Very nice comfortable hotel located approx 10-15 minutes from IAD. Decor was very nice, open and updated. A courtesy van is provided to and from the airport. Evening desk attendant was very accommodating and had no issue providing a late check out as I had a later flight the following day. Snacks, wine and beer were available for purchase at the front […] desk and wine was served in a nice sized glass, a nice touch at the end of a trying day at the airport. The room was clean, spacious and very well appointed. Low level lighting helped add to the ambiance. The room was cleverly designed to separate the sleeping area from a lounge area via a sue-do oriental screen. A large flat screen television was well placed so that it could be viewed from both areas, yet still giving attention to personal space and privacy. Large coffee mugs were also provided in the room. No Styrofoam or plastic was a nice touch and gave an at home feel! A complimentary breakfast was served from 6-9:30 and consisted of a variety of Starbucks coffee and the usual continental fair. Hot items were also available in the form of breakfast sandwiches and a very nice fresh citrus fruit salad was offered. A nice pool and fitness facility were also available.

"Best place"
We got this room when we visited dc with a 5 yet old and a 5 month old the room was very clean and the bed was soo comfy that we wanted to take it with us when we left my son loved the sofa that converted into a bed and there was plenty of room for my youngest boy pack and play. The shower was big and the tv was big as well and was perfect to watch […] the HEAT win the championship. There was a mini fridge that held alot of food. The breakfast had alot to choose from me and husband had alot to choose from and my 5 yr old was pleased as well. When we had the do not disbursed sign on the door alot cuz of the boys no one brothered us which was good. They had a wake up call for us every morning when we told them we needed it and offered one when we siding scheduled one. Also I ordered good at like 11pm and it was done in a timely manner and tasted good. The shuttle that took us to the air port was on time and when we got back from DC they picked us up even though it wasn't on the hour like they normally run so it was nice to have them right there when we needed it. We deff entry plan to stay again. We didn't want to leave and when we got back home we wanted to go back. Deff stay here it's worth it. Do plan to rerun.

Greenwood returns to haunt Malvern (From Ledbury Reporter)

Greenwood returns to haunt Malvern
11:30am Sunday 18th March 2012 in Sport
MALVERN Rugby Club were undone by a 20-minute onslaught in their 38-13 home defeat to high-flying Dudley Kingswinford in National Three Midlands.
After only losing out 16-13 to runaway leaders Rugby Lions in their last Spring Lane encounter, hopes were high of a Malvern upset.
The first 15 minutes saw thrilling end-to-end action before several penalties took Dudley deep into Malvern territory and they finished off with a catch-and-drive.
Former Malvern player Luke Greenwood scored the try and Jon Higgins added the extras.
The undaunted hosts kept up the tempo, running the ball at DK, as their pack got the better of the opposition eight.
Dudley's free-scoring backs were kept in check by fine defensive covering but the visitors used similar tactics to the first try in the 34th minute with prop Stefan Thorp touching down and Higgins converting.
Malvern responded well and Adam Dixon kicked two penalties in the last five minutes to make it 14-6 at the break.
The second period began with Dudley turning up the heat while Malvern lost influential prop Jamie Tsang to injury.
Thorp was on hand again in the 47th minute as holes started to appear in the hosts' defence.
Three minutes later, Stef Shillingford cut through and put Duncan Chance in before the high-scoring centre collected a try for himself.
Malvern continued to compete well up front but Gareth Bown sliced through poor cover to score on the hour and give Higgins the extra two points.
Even when 32 points behind, Malvern fought back strongly to win a penalty and they put in two punishing drives for replacement prop Jo Baker to score with Dixon then converting.
Malvern have a rest from league action this weekend, returning at resurgent Broadstreet on Saturday, March 24.

Hi guys,
I came across this utility and it seems very powerful. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to use it.
Can someone please help me?
Basically I have TIFF files in one folder that start from 005.tif to 180.tif.
I need to start the numbering from 001. So basically 005 should be 001 and 180 will be 175. I hope this makes sense.
Would BRU be able to do this?
Would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!!

Iowa State football team warms to chilly Memphis
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (MCT) — The advantage of inviting a cold weather college football team like Iowa State to play in Monday's 54th annual AutoZone Liberty Bowl against Tulsa is that even when it's freezing in Memphis, it's like the tropics to the Cyclones.
"It's 40 degrees warmer here than in the state of Iowa, so this is a warm-weather location for us," cracked Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads, whose players traveled from their various homes to report to Memphis for Wednesday afternoon's first on-site practice.
While Memphis got a dusting of snow with temperatures dipping into the 20s, the high back home on the ISU campus in Ames was in the 20s with a low of 6 degrees. The temperature for Monday's 2:30 p.m. kickoff at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium is forecast for 44 degrees, the same day the high in Ames is expected to be 17.

TS-Market finally started making their Edic Mini Tiny A31 Worlds Smallest Covert Digital Audio Recorder, after almost a year of being out of stock. The Edic Mini Tiny A31 is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest digital recorder on earth!
Edic mini Tiny A31 Worlds Smallest Covert Digital Audio Recorder
TS-Market has a wide range of these mini covert audio recorders, though most of them have removable batteries. The A31 has internal rechargeable batteries, which makes this one of the most popular models, as it will run for up to 25 hours of straight recording, up to 140 hours on voice activation mode, and up to 5 months in stand-by.
However, do NOT buy this if you plan on using it 1 or 2x per year as the battery will go bad on you. If you own one of these, or are considering buying one, you need to keep it charged at least weekly or bi-weekly. Do not let it sit for months or it won't perform for you and it won't be covered by warranty.
And if you can't program a VCR, don't buy this either because some people just can't make them work and end up returning them. Here are our digital audio recorders if you want a one-button use product.

Tamara and Derek are too busy for romance, too driven professionally to establish a lasting connection on their own.

Poet and playwright J.P. Clark's falling-out with his would-be official biographer, Adewale Maja-Pearce, is chronicled in the latter's new book, 'A Peculiar Tragedy'. We begin our exclusive serialisation of 'Kiagbodo', a chapter from the book.
Two rivers have there their trysting-place,
A strong selling point, you conceded, were
It in the city, but there we were, in
The maze of Izon country, in the Niger
Delta, and over it a god sits brooding...
J. P. Clark: 'Land of the gods'
So what is one to make of it all? Much depends on how one interprets J.P Clark's relationship with the security services — the largest in Africa, according to Soyinka, although South Africa must have run a close second at the time — but here he obfuscates the matter. Undoubtedly, as the most prominent writer who had opted for the federal side he would have been of interest to them as one of the 'privileged recipients' of the head of state's 'confidences', the more so since he and Gowon were already known to each other. They had first met when Clark was still an undergraduate at Ibadan almost a decade earlier; as he wrote in the Notes to Casualties: 'I had known him as a lieutenant through an old friend, Brigadier David Ejoor, the first Military Governor of the Mid-West.'
According to the same Notes, his first encounter with the security services was when he accompanied Okigbo to fetch Ifeajuna back from Accra, where he had fled (apparently with Okigbo's assistance) as soon as he realized that the coup had failed. Clark claims that he only went in a 'personal' capacity (unlike Okigbo, who went as an 'official emissary') but says nothing more. However, thirty years later, in a lecture he gave on the occasion of his Nigerian National Merit Award, he offered a fuller account of how it came about:
"After the events of that momentous day broke upon us all, and Major Ifeajuna was reported to have fled to Ghana, Major-General Aguiyi-Ironsi wanted him back as he had Major Kaduna Nzeogwu. Chris Okigbo was given the letter to take to President Kwame Nkrumah. But he needed company, someone who shared influential literary friends with him in Accra, but more importantly, someone who could add his voice to persuade Ifeajuna to come home and assume responsibility for his action...
We took two trips to Accra by air, the first was a full meeting with Ifeajuna, the second to give his host government time to arrange for his evacuation, while he wrote up the defence he would have given at his court-martial in Lagos. We just made it back before Ghana too fell to the military."
That Okigbo might have wanted company is understandable enough although why they needed shared literary friends to do so is somewhat puzzling given the nature of their undertaking. More to the point was the fact that Clark had known Ifeajuna at the university and hadn't been impressed by what he had seen of him. It happened while they were there that the authorities wanted to fence off the students' hostels following the death of a young woman in a failed abortion attempt in the student union president's room. The students thought that the authorities were overreacting and Ifeajuna, Nigeria's first Commonwealth gold medallist and a shining star on campus, urged them onward until it actually came to the showdown, whereupon he hid himself away until the demonstration was over. As it happened, the dead woman was the best friend of another student and budding actress called Christine Clinton with whom Clark was just then having 'a long, passionate relationship, which was a great talking point within this small community,' the 'bombshell' he told 'Bob' Wren in their lengthy interview (Robert M. Wren: Those Magical Years; p.100). So it was that when he heard that Ifeajuna had fled to Accra, ostensibly disguised as a woman (in what seems to be becoming something of a national tradition), he was inclined to see him 'acting in character, running away after disrupting authority, as he had done while a student at Ibadan.' And yet this was the man he wanted to 'come home and take responsibility for his action'.
At any rate, off they went to Accra, only to discover that Ifeajuna was still at liberty until the about-to-be toppled Nkrumah decided to imprison him lest Nigeria accuse him of complicity in the coup attempt. Clark and Okigbo were allowed access to him and even spent an entire night talking with him. The event is captured in 'Conversations in Accra', the longest poem in Casualties, where the unlikely duo urge him to heed the 'clamour' for change at home that was the reason for his striking in the first place:
The clamour is not in markets only
The clamour is in cathedrals
The clamour is from minarets
And not in the morning alone
The clamour is in kitchens, in schools;
In court, in palaces alone is silence.
Instead of which, he is 'up on the iroko' while gathered below 'are the flies on the meat/ The people may not eat,' to which Ifeajuna replies:
I know, I know, don't I know? That night
The group accepted me leader
Even he who took the lion.
They will follow now if I blow the horn.
To which they, in turn, reply:
Then blow it, blow it! Right now,
Scattered in the forest are hounds
You led to the hunt.
Stranded in the woods are dogs listening
For the hunter's horn,
And loitering in the square
Are the people hungry for a share.
According to Clark, Ifeajuna was disoriented but coherent and, for the first time in his life, he 'saw the folly of human judgment, and that no man living should be called a hero.' So it was that Ifeajuna returned with them — much to Nkrumah's relief, no doubt — but instead of being met by a senior military officer in the ruling Supreme Military Council, as they had apparently been promised, they were confronted by a junior police officer from Special Branch — a 'donkey' — who promptly took 'Fred King' into detention. Moreover, Clark himself was unceremoniously dumped on the tarmac; as he wrote in 'Return Home':
Together with Chris I brought him home
On clipped wings, on clipped wings,
He who seeing a forest fire,
Turned on a tap the crocodile
Could not stop, unknown to pilot, to crew,
As plain Fred King. There by the green lights
On the ground the red rug was rolled
From under his feet. Engaged elsewhere was
The horse that should have cantered to the
midget plane,
Crawling now to its place of rest. Instead, came
A donkey to carry into the night
King Fred, Chris close at his back,
Sam holding to a restive tail,
And I alone on the tarmac
With odd items to clear,
A number of papers I did not dare declare.
In the event, Ifeajuna and the others were left to languish in protective custody in the then Eastern Region while the country's first-ever military regime dithered over what to do with them until the matter was resolved with the counter-coup seven months later. Among the papers Clark 'did not dare declare' at the airport was the latter's hastily-written account of why they had struck:
"I have often wondered over the years what became of this manuscript that I kept at one time in a baby's cot. When the publisher Longmans chickened out, I handed it over to a brother-in-law to take home to his wife, Rose. I found portions of it later reproduced in General Olusegun Obasanjo's biography of Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu."
So far so good: up until this part of the story Clark makes no mention of any direct contact with the security forces. Quite the reverse, in fact; in the Preface to Casualties he goes to some trouble to let the reader know that such rumours then circulating in Lagos were entirely false:
"But I got so close to a number of the actors after the curtain rose, actors some of whom still evoke such mixed response, that I came to be identified by some as playing in the show — to the extent of being interrogated by the security people. The pity is that I have had no part in the drama still unfolding."
Clark is here obfuscating the matter by not coming out clearly to admit that he was indeed interrogated by 'the security people', as he was to admit three decades later in The Burden Not Lifted:
"In Casualties, my account in poetry of the Nigerian Civil War, so much misunderstood by my Igbo readers and their friends in quotes, I said at that time that I came so close to the events of 15 January 1966 that I was taken in for interrogation. Shinkafi was the officer, all professional but very polite. Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna had given me his account of the coup to edit and arrange publication. The authorities thought I had it then in my custody."
In fact, the main thrust of Clark's lecture seems to have less to do with the burden of the public cleansing demanded for the blood that was shed by an unwilling military — and which, in any case, he had already dealt with at greater length in 'The Hero as a Villain', his inaugural lecture at the University of Lagos in the 1970s — than in 'the burden that has been my own all these years'. And what was the nature of this burden?
"Looking back now with regrets for what might or might not have been, I sometimes wonder whether Chris and I should have persuaded Emmanuel Ifeajuna to return with us for, as he said, and as we now know, the situation in Nigeria might have changed at any point, and optimist and consummate schemer that he was, he could then have returned to a different stage on his own terms."
'Optimist' and 'consummate schemer' are not the most obvious qualities that one would associate with Ifeajuna given Clark's own assessment of the man he knew. And what was it that was going to change that might have made a difference to someone who had a penchant for running away at the first sign of trouble? Change indeed it did but where lies the burden that Clark has been living with all these years? It is this, admitted to for the first time in public in the same lecture:
"An interesting development from my visit to the then Special Branch of the Nigeria Police Force at Force Headquarters was that my late friend, Aminu Abdullahi, fresh from assignments in London and Nairobi, moved in from his cousin M. D. Yusufu to live with me for a year and keep an eye on me. I have never discussed the matter with our inimitable master spy-catcher of those days. Some years later, he gave me the good advice that the state does not mind what a writer scribbles about it as long as he does not go on to put his words into action."
In fact Clark had already told me about Abdullahi early on in our relationship. It was a question I had to ask because it was a question that everybody else was asking, for instance Odia Ofeimun when I emailed him about his disagreement with Clark over The Poet Lied. Ofeimun even went as far as to give me M. D. Yusufu's private number so that I could hear directly from the horse's mouth, as it were, but then there was no real need. There it was in black and white in Clark's own hand although I didn't know it at the time because I was yet to read it. So I asked him and he told me quite openly a number of times, on one occasion with his wife present. They laughed as they recalled a brandy-drinking, chain-smoking jazz buff who lived with them for about a year between 1967 and 1968. The impression I formed was that he was someone they had casually met and taken a liking to but the arrangement struck me as unlikely all the same. At the time they were just three years into their marriage with a new baby and another on the way. They were also managing a modest apartment on his Lecturer Grade 1 salary on what was then still the building site of the newly established University of Lagos. The Clarks themselves were far too bourgeois as I had come to see them with their concern for status and everyone knowing their place to be so accommodating to such an untidy guest; and now, on what would turn out to be my final visit to Clark's country retreat to look through the last of his personal papers before travelling to London to finish this book, I challenged them on it.
Doubtless I could have been more tactful in my approach but I had also drunk more beer than usual in order to fortify myself. Moreover, up until then I had allowed myself to be too respectful towards them in the Nigerian way demanded even by would-be bohemians, especially after Clark had let it be known that he thought me too small to compare myself to him, as he had told me during one of my earlier visits, and as he was to tell me again on this, but more vociferously now that he didn't need to be on his guard. And all the while there was the idea at the back of my mind that Abdullahi's period with them would have coincided with the gathering of Commonwealth eggheads in Australia just as the federal government was waging a propaganda war every bit as vicious as the conventional one in order to reassure an increasingly hostile international community that genocide was not among its objectives. Perhaps Soyinka's name was never mentioned in all that long year that Abdullahi was keeping an eye on him. Perhaps Abdullahi simply shrugged when Clark told him where he was going and who he would be meeting. Perhaps, but it seemed unlikely.
The fact that his wife was also present in Kiagbodo was an added bonus. She rarely visited the place, which was why Clark himself was often in Lagos. Previously it had been only the two of us. Rightly or wrongly, I had formed the impression that she didn't much care for it. It was nothing she ever said, more what she didn't say. She would just smile indulgently whenever I paid a courtesy call on them in their Apapa residence and he spoke wistfully of 'home'. And now her unexpected presence — he hadn't told me that she was coming until after I had arrived — only confirmed my suspicions. As it happened, she was only visiting because their son was over from the UK for a short holiday. It turned out that it was the first time either of them had been back in over two years and I could hardly credit Clark's nervousness at their imminent arrival. He kept marching up and down the front garden barking orders at the workers and asking his overseer for the umpteenth time whether there was enough fuel in the Mercedes he parked in his sister's compound in the village proper.
When at last they arrived, Clark having left for the airport at Warri with at least two hours to spare, it was immediately obvious that they felt themselves in unfamiliar surroundings. They dithered in the front garden while I did my best not to look too much at home before opting to row across to the village to give them time to settle down. Over the next three days I was struck by the fact that neither of them once ventured outdoors, and yet the idyllic setting was the main attraction of the place. I was rarely indoors myself because it was peaceful to work in the front garden overlooking the river, and on the only occasion my wife accompanied me to draw sketches for the cover of this book, she spent all day, every day sitting on the balcony observing the scenery below.
Clark obviously wanted them to feel at home but it was equally obvious that they didn't. His wife was offhand with the staff as she tried to assert the authority she didn't have, forever ordering them about to conceal her discomfiture. That first evening, for instance, she was adamant that her son needed chicken because he loathed fish and that she herself wanted plantain. They tried to explain to her that it was too late to get either in the village; that they would have to go to Ughelli but that the markets would be shut by now — it was after seven — but she insisted they try and so off they went, only to return empty-handed two hours later, which annoyed her, whereupon she started fussing over what her son would eat. Clark himself, after his initial anxiety, didn't always bother to disguise his own irritation at her awkwardness. Twice that first evening over dinner he snapped at her when she proved slow on the uptake. 'How many times must I tell you that I don't like repeating myself,' he said as he frowned at the fish before him. Their son, as embarrassed as me, laughed nervously both times but was clearly used to it, as indeed she was.
Serialisation of 'A Peculiar Tragedy' continues next Sunday in The Lagos Review.

St. Francis Prep has gotten used to staring elimination in the face.
The Terriers were just three outs away from being dispatched for good by All Hallows in Game 2 of the best-of-three qualifying series at Fordham University Monday.
Junior second baseman Bobby Peretti still believed his team had a good chance to win.
"We knew we had to win," he said. "We couldn't let the seniors down in their possible last game in high school."
Peretti started the one-out rally with a walk. Three batters later, Aaron Acosta's sacrifice fly drove in Gabe Gonzalez to cap St. Francis Prep's 5-4 comeback victory against All Hallows.
Ninth-seeded St. Francis Prep, which wiped out the memories of a Game 1 defeat just hours earlier, lost two leads before Acosta's game-winning RBI sent the series to a decisive Game 3 at 7 p.m. Tuesday back at Fordham University. The Terries defeated McClancy 7-1 in the second round Sunday as pitcher Taso Stathopoulos went six innings to get the win.
"I had a feeling we were going come back," St. Francis Prep coach Bro. Robert Kent said. "The team changed attitudes [180] degrees from defeat to lets go get them."
St. Francis Prep (13-7) lost its 1-0 lead as No. 8 All Hallows (10-8) got on the scoreboard in the second inning off starting pitcher Justin Teitelbaum. Jonathan Aponte and Alexis Torres recorded run-producing singles as the Gaels roped together four straight hits with two outs to take a 2-1.
In the bottom of the second, leadoff hitter Steven Pelan's suicide squeeze drove in Stathopoulos and Perettii followed with an RBI single to left field to give St. Francis Prep a 3-2 lead.
Jared James, who replaced starter Danny Flores in the second inning, allowed only one runner to reach from the fourth to the sixth inning. All Hallows tied the game in the fourth inning and regained the lead at 4-3 in the top of the fifth when Jason Soto lined a single to center, scoring Tulane-bound Stephen Alemais from second base.
The Terriers weren't done yet, as they received a confidence-boosting lifeline in the top of the seventh.
All Hallows had runners on first and third with one out when the Terriers came up with the defensive play of the day.
Reyes hit a medium fly ball to Pelan in center with one out. The St. Francis Prep senior caught the ball and delivered a laser to home plate to get Andrew Delarosario to cap off an inning-ending double play to keep the deficit at one run.
"That saved our season," Acosta said. "It was very big for us. Just the fact that the centerfielder came out clutch and the catcher kept the ball."
The Terriers carried that momentum to the bottom of the seventh with Peretti hitting a one-out single and Gonzalez then walking on four pitches, ending James' day on the mound.
Alemais came on in relief and promptly walked Matt Kramer to load the bases. The Gaels pitcher continued his wildness with a wild pitch to the backstop which scored Peretti from third base.
Acosta waited for a fastball and got plenty on it to send a fly ball to center that was deep enough for Gonzalez to score the winning run.
"He was throwing hard. His speed didn't faze me," Acosta said. "I knew he was throwing his curveball and it wasn't falling so I was waiting on his fastball. I was sitting on his fastball and I got the job done."
Kent said he would lean on Stathopoulos to pitch in the decisive game on just two days rest. All Hallows coach Ed Gutierrez has confidence his team can bounce back with Jo Jo Morel on the mound.
"We just got to come back to play one game like we lost by 10 runs," Gutierrez said. "We got to buckle on the chinstrap and get after it tomorrow."
All Hallows 7, St. Francis Prep 0
Reyes shut down the Terriers, allowing just one hit, Morel had three hits and three RBIs and Alemais scored three times in Game 1 Monday afternoon at Jack Coffey Field.

If Ohio Stadium offered beer for sale at concession stands, would you partake?
I'm not going to start a raging debate on the pros and cons of selling beer in Ohio Stadium, but yes, I would definitely imbibe. One cool caveat would be to only sell beer brewed in Ohio. Focus on Columbus beer to support local business (Barley's, Columbus, and Elevator Brewing Co.), and then throw in one beer from Cleveland (Great Lakes) and Cincinnati (Christian Moerlein). The increased cost of great beer would/might limit the binge drinking. Plus, you're drinking great beer. Have 2-3 homegrown delicisous beers and be responsible instead of pounding down 8 swills (Bud Light/Miler Lite) and not being able to remember the second half of the game. OK, I guess I might have started a little bit of debate.
Thats what I was going to say, but it would be cool to have the same deal in the Shoe. Would probably cost more but imo it would be worth it.
"There are some people addicted to alcohol, some people are addicted to gambling," Luginbill said. "Urban Meyer is addicted to football, and he's addicted to winning."
I'm cheap and stadium beers are marked up like 300% and I can already imagine at Ohio State it'll be marked up 400%... I'd have a better time saving my money than I would drinking at the game.
Besides I don't sneak in anything with me now and I already have awesome times at the 'Shoe.
I believe selling alcohol inside the stadium would be a great idea if it helped create a Dawg Pound atmosphere. I have been to both the Shoe and Cleveland Browns Stadium for games. In my humble opinion, I felt that Browns Stadium has a more intimidating aura (if only the team did as well). The last two Buckeye games I have been to there were points in the game that a third down stop by the defense was needed, and I was one of the few people standing up and yelling for the team. So many people were sitting on their hands being casual observers rather than fanatics. I almost felt akward at times standing up cheering, but never have I felt this in Cleveland. In Cleveland, especially in the Dawg Pound, if you aren't standing on third down, you won't be able to see. Does the sale of alcohol encourage a rowdy enviroment, absolutely. Does a rowdy enviroment enhance the overall fan experience? I guess it depends who you are and what your idea of a good time is. I enjoy both venues but is funny how different each can be.
For me it depends how much they charge. FYI, for those who think that there is no alcohol in that stadium on game day, I've got some news for you . . . ever been in a bathroom stall at the Shoe? Any stall. By half time there are always many, many empty hotel bar sized liquor bottles.
"Because the rules won't let you go for three." - Woody Hayes
THE Ohio State University
I don't really like paying stadium prices for anything, though I sometimes make exceptions for hot dogs and bottled water on hot days. So I would probably vote no.
Not having beer sales never stopped me from drinking at the Shoe back in my student days, just like the ban on smoking hasn't stopped smokers.
The most "loud mouth, disrespect" poster on 11W.
It doesn't matter if your team is good or bad, mixing alcohol and football is practically a loaded gun in itself. Ohio Stadium is already a pretty raucous place for visiting fans. Look, I'm a big fan of drinking, I love beer and I love drinking beer while watching Ohio State in a bar or on my couch. And I drink at tailgates. But in a stadium you get a mob mentality, and I've seen it get pretty ugly at professional games as people keep drinking for 2 more hours and their mood becomes an embodyment of what's happening on the field.
I'm not a fan of beer at stadiums where people are clad in their army's colors. You'll get a lot more fights, a lot more objectionable behavior if you have alcohol available, particularly if they've already been drinking for hours before the game. It's not worth it.
I'm all for selling alcohol in the stadium. As others have pointed out, the folks that are hammered for kickoff show up that way and are not going to get anymore hammered from $7-$10 beers. It would probably provide a nice boost to revenue on gameday and I highly doubt it's going to create a more violent atmosphere.
I'm one of those slightly raucous fans that tailgates fairly heavily before the game (yes, even the noon games). But I stop drinking about an hour before gametime, and with a 3 1/2 hour game (plus the line to cross the walking bridge), I've sobered up by the time I get back to my car. If you have drinking (sponsored by the university) during the game, you'll have a less enjoyable experience at the game (how many times will the people down your row walk past you to first get more beers, then spill them on you walking back, then need to leave frequently for the restrooms?).
Sell it for the first half only, and limit it to 3. Have a tent outside the stadium where you can by a wrist band. This eliminates delays inside for checking ID's. You go to the beer concession inside the stadium and they punch the band and give you a beer. The third time they take the wristband. At the start of the third quarter beer sales cease. I really like the idea of Ohio brews only.
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
It would have to be like WVU where they dont sell alcohol in the student sections and arent supposed to sell any to students in the rest of the sections.
"There are some people addicted to alcohol, some people are addicted to gambling," Luginbill said. "Urban Meyer is addicted to football, and he's addicted to winning."
Looking at the comments I can really see both sides of the argument. Personally I think selling alcohol in the stadium will cause more problems than the revenue it will create. My reasoning is this:
How can this be enforced with minors? I know when I was in school their was always someone with a fake ID and we always could drink. When I go to OSU games I already run into some sloppy drunk, and a drunk can either be really entertaining or really annoying for the other fans around them. Having alcohol in the stadium (with a limit on the # of drinks) may not increase the number of rowdy fans, but it will keep the really drunk people intoxicated longer, and that can affect other peoples game experience. Even in the NFL where their is a higher majority of "adults" of legal drinking age in the crowd, they act irresponsible. I once saw a guy in the Dawgpound pee in his cup so he wouldn't miss the action of the game.
What about liability? If a freshman gets served and something really bad happens to them is the University at fault or the vendor? (Anyone in the legal profession, please enlighten me).
What about cost? How many additional police officers will the University have to hire to properly enforce this?
I love the idea of only selling Ohio Beers, but I think the University would jump at a Quantity discount from a huge Beer vendor( a price break so low the small Ohio vendors could not compete with). Then we wouldn't have a good beer option, just water with alcohol.
I have had numerous games where I tailgated and had my adult beverages, and I am not against people drinking, I just think the stadium is too big to be enforced properly. The amount of revenue is not worth the headache. If they want to make more money, put some lights on the stadium and have 2-3 night games a year. Just my two cents.
Great Lakes or Columbus would have my business especially if they had a "beer only" stand. By the sounds of these posts there won't be much business and I'd get to the front of the line fairly quickly.
I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect.

text: John Deere Born Feb 7 1804 - Died May 17 1886 Improvement in Plows Plows Patent Number(s) 46,454 Inducted 1989 John Deere developed the first American cast steel plow. The implements being used by pioneer farmers of that day were cumbersome and ineffective for cutting and turning the prairie soil. To alleviate the problem, Deere and a partner, Major Leonard Andrus, designed three new plows in 1838. Their cutting part was made from steel cut from an old sawmill blade and shaped by bending it over a log. The moldboard, used for lifting and turning, was made of wrought iron and polished on the upper surface to prevent clogging. Invention Impact The plow was so successful that by 1846 Deere and his partner were selling a thousand a year. Deere then sold his interest in the Grand Detour enterprise to Andrus and organized a plow company in Moline, Illinois. After experimenting with imported English steel, he had a cast steel plow made for him in Pittsburgh. By 1855 he was selling more than 13,000 such plows a year. Inventor Bio Born in Rutland, Vermont, Deere served a four-year apprenticeship to a blacksmith and worked in that trade until 1837, when he moved to Grand Detour, Illinois. In 1868 his business was incorporated as Deere & Company, which is still in existence today. |

Dr A Eskander MBChB, FRCOG, realised his life's ambition when he set up the Gynae Centre in 1999. He also co-founded The Fertility & Gynaecology Academy with Dr Gorgy in 2004 and is now its co-director.
Dr Eskander was admitted as a distinguished Member of the Royal College of Obstetrician and Gynaecologists as long ago as 1977. By 1983 he was acknowledged as one of the few obstetricians and gynaecologists in the world who could make an accurate and confident diagnosis of foetal abnormalities and gynecological problems using ultrasound.
In 1989 he moved overseas to help organise the obstetric unit at the prestigious teaching hospital in Bahrain, one of the first hospitals in the middle east to introduce IVF.
Since returning to the UK in 1993, Dr Eskander has gained a reputation as one of the pre-eminent gynaecologists working in London. He was one of the first doctors to provide colcoscopy service and laser treatment.

A bill that would authorize state takeover of York City and three other school districts lost its collective bargaining hammer but is still close to getting nailed down.
The bill calls for the creation of a new program for districts under financial duress that involves the state's appointing someone to oversee their finances and draft a plan the district must enact.
An amended version of the bill passed in the Senate Tuesday, with full York County support; all Democrats opposed it. It now heads back to the House for a vote.
The amended version, though, doesn't have the teeth of the original version, said Sen. Jeffrey Piccola, chairman of the education committee. That's in part because the Pennsylvania State Education Association's strong opposition led to a negotiation with lawmakers to have some collective bargaining language removed.
"It's not as strong as it was, but it's still a pretty strong bill," Piccola said.
Lawmakers took out the bill's power to force a teachers' union to accept a wage freeze or any other contract conditions a state receiver decided. PSEA's leadership said they would have fought any forced contract changes to the bitter end in court.
The program still gives the district's receiver, appointed by the state to oversee the district's budget, the authority to reopen a contract. But if the two sides don't reach an agreement within 90 days, the original contract terms remain, Piccola said. And the receiver can call for schools to be converted into private or charter schools, as long as a fiscal analysis is done, he added.The amendment was enough to withdraw some of the protest by PSEA, although they still object to the bill overall, said PSEA spokesman Wythe Keever.
"PSEA still has concerns that the bill does not provide for direct additional funding for distressed school districts, beyond a loan program, and cannot support the bill," he said in a statement.York City is still at the heart of the bill as one of four affected schools, including Chester Upland, Duquesne City and Harrisburg.
If the bill is enacted, the receiver would work with district officials to come up with a plan. The school board would then have to vote on it, and would be bound to follow it if it approves it. And if the board doesn't approve it, the state would go to court to try to force it to do so, Piccola said.
Piccola said districts have for too long expected the state to make up for their financial woes rather than make necessary budget adjustments.York City school officials feel differently.
"We know we're underfunded," said Superintendent Deborah Wortham.
York City, like every other school district, had its charter school tuition reimbursement from the state taken away in this past school year's budget; it is absent in next year's budget proposal as well.
Other grant funding is cut or missing as well, although state officials emphasize overall education funding is at its highest ever.
York City School Board President Margie Orr said she doesn't like the idea of state intervention but feels better after she and Wortham got the chance to meet with some lawmakers and explain their situation.
With the district now officially closing its two middle schools, making staff cuts and finding alternative revenue sources, Orr said she thinks lawmakers are pleased with its progress, albeit not enough to leave York City off the financially distressed list.
"I think we convinced them we are moving in the right direction," Orr said.

Melisa Christian, a dentist and a 2:41 marathoner, has qualified for two Olympic Marathon Trials despite—or perhaps because of—training in the heat of Dallas. To log her 80-plus miles per week through the summer months, when overnight temperatures rarely drop below 75ºF and the humidity wraps around her like a blanket, she gets up before dawn and drives her running route, dropping bottles of water and electrolyte mix every few miles. (Video: How to hydrate during a workout) The payoff comes when she runs a fall race, often the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon in Minneapolis. Going from the intensity of the Dallas heat to the cool northern climes, Christian gets an instant boost, both physically and psychologically.
"You feel a lot more fresh and vibrant," she says. "You're not drenched in sweat just toeing the line. It seems so much easier."
It's well proven that to stand a chance of racing well in the heat, you have to train in the heat. But sauna suffer-fests have another benefit: They prepare you to run faster in cooler weather, too. In 2010, researchers had competitive cyclists spend 10 workouts pedaling at a low intensity in a 104ºF room, while another eight duplicated the effort in cool temps. Outside of the lab, everyone maintained their normal training regimens. After two weeks, the performance level of the control group remained the same, but the heat-acclimated group surprised researchers by not only showing gains in hot temperatures but also charting five to seven percent gains in a cool environment.
"That's a huge difference in athletes who are already so well-trained," says Santiago Lorenzo, PhD, the exercise physiologist who led the study.
Bob Braman sees similar gains with his men's cross-country team at Florida State University every fall. When his runners arrive in sweltering Tallahassee during August, the coach uses an informal 20-percent calculation for his team. If they're running 70 miles per week in the hot weather, he believes that's worth about 84 miles per week in more temperate conditions. Paces are slower, too.
How to push the pace without crashing into a wall
"We've got to be careful," he says. "Running in 80 percent humidity or 88ºF, a workout is a lot harder. (Search: How do I tailor my workout to the humidity level?) You don't get to altitude and try to run your workouts at sea-level pace. Same thing with us." When his runners get to their first serious race, in Indiana in the beginning of October, "it feels like someone took a backpack off their backs," he says. The entire team usually races well.
Follow these rules for training safely in the inevitable hot weather, and reap the rewards in the cooler fall days.
Go for Comfort
Coach Braman's college kids avoid the heat of the day by meeting at 6:30 a.m. and starting the hard part of their workouts by 7. If you can't run that early, look for shaded trails and roads to keep the sun off your skin. Wear a moisture-wicking cap and clothing, preferably in light colors to reflect the sun. Braman carries the sleeve of an old T-shirt with him on every run and uses it to wipe his forehead while he goes.
Does your training need a push? Sign up for our Half-Marathon Jumpstart plan and get on track today!
Plan Hydration
Christian stows her water bottles along the route beforehand, because if she does a loop course past her house, she'll be too tempted to quit early. She also makes a point of hydrating throughout the day, forcing sips between appointments at the dental practice. In the summer, she cuts her total mileage a little, but she doesn't mind intense workouts at the track, where she has ready access to a water fountain and can rehydrate between intervals.
The latest research on how to prevent dehydration—and boost your running performance
Slow Down, Be Happy
Physiologically, it's impossible for your body to maintain the same pace in the hot temperature as you do in the cool. When you first start running in the heat, "your paces are going to be slower, and it's going to feel harder," says Dara Wittenberg, a triathlon coach in Delray Beach, Florida. So if you run a 10-minute mile in 90°F, it could feel like an eight-minute mile. "And that's perfectly normal," she says. "Understand that running slower and shorter is smart training. Trying to hold your best pace is stupid training."

Home | Wild Places & Wildlife | Fact Sheets | North Atlantic Right Whale | Basic Facts About Right WhalesBasic Facts About Right Whales
Right whales like the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) are among the rarest of all marine mammal species. These baleen whales have two separate populations – western and eastern.
© Brian Skerry / National Geographic Stock
North Atlantic right whales eat zooplankton and krill, which they use their baleen plates to filter out of the water.
The western North Atlantic right whale population, which inhabits the waters off the East coast of the United States and Canada, today contains roughly 350 individuals. The eastern population, which was once found from the coast of northern Europe to the northwest coast of Africa, is already nearly, if not completely, extinct
Did You Know?
Right whales got their name because whalers thought they were the "right" ones to hunt, as they float when dead and often swim within sight of the shore.
North Atlantic right whales range from Nova Scotia to the southeastern United States and migrate the length of the U.S. east coast. They are occasionally found within European waters.
Right whales are slow swimmers and average up to 6 miles per hour. They are known to make brief shallow dives in succession before submerging themselves underwater for up to 20 minute at a time. They usually travel solo or in small groups.
Did You Know?
The right whale's scientific name, Eubalaena glacialis, means "good, or true, whale of the ice."
Right whales are also known to emit low frequency sounds that may be a form of communication. When they feed, the water skimming across their baleen plates creates a clicking "baleen rattle."
Mating Season: During winter.
Gestation: 1 year.
Litter size: 1 calf.
Females give birth every 3-5 years and at birth, calves tend to be between 13-15 feet long.
More on North Atlantic Right Whale:
Length 45-55 ft.
Weight Up to 70 tons; females are larger than males.
Lifespan 50-100 years.

Hiring for startups is not an easy problem to solve. How do you attract good talent to a company that is just starting out and has an uncertain future. Through this thread I would like to invite others to share their experiences in hiring for their companies early in the game. What challenges they faced and how did they solve them.
The reality is that for most startups, especially at the very early stages, hiring has to be done almost exclusively through referrals. Referrals are generally the best way to hire no matter what, but as a company grows the referral pool tends to try up and other sources are needed. But in the beginning, referrals rule. They increase the level of trust and generally will come from a peer group that's going to relate to the work you're doing / be interested. As an aside, when hiring (whether in a startup or not), I would recommend putting people through a very rigorous process that involves several interviews, over a few days time potentially, testing them (no matter what the position), and if possible, getting them in on a trial (even for a day) to see how they operate in the environment, with the team. | |||
The most important thing is to come across as a real company. This will benefit you beyond hiring, as well. It's all about the presentation. If you don't have a dedicated number, then spend the few bucks a month to get something that forwards. If you don't have an identity (business cards, logo, etc,), then get one. If you don't have offices, find a rent-for-an-hour facility place you can use. These will only cost a few hundred bucks... and if you can't spend that, then you're not ready to hire an employee. The next most important thing is to be prepared to talk about your vision and personal experience. Expect to be interviewed and, if not, make sure to give your speil, Talk about clients, marketing plan, product plan, and so on. This will give your candidate confidence that you know what your doing. A line that might help to asuage the whole "uncertainly" thing (whether they bring it up or not): | |||
Realistically, the people who are going to want to work for you are people with a somewhat higher risk threshold. That's a good thing, because you need them to be comfortable with the fairly risky proposition your company represents. Be direct with them in terms of where you are as a company and what you're trying to achieve. While your presentation should, of course, be professional, definitely do not try to pass yourself or your business off as something it is not. Of course, in order to provide some return for the risk your employees are taking, part of your compensation structure will involve equity participation in your business (usually through options). If you're not sure how or why you should do that, ask here or find an advisor who can help. Not only do startup employees want to share in the upside rewards with the founder in the event of success, but for your part, equity incentives help keep your employees' interests squarely in tune with those of your company. Finally, as I've discussed elsewhere, make sure that personal integrity is the number one characteristic you are looking for in a candidate. Good luck! Scott | |||||||||
Kabir, As Alex mentioned be prepared to share your vision. Back it up with a solid business plan. Do you have a pipedream or a legitimate opportunity for a business? Tell the truth (Unfortunately, truth is defined differently, by different people) and put all cards on the table. You can attract the best talent who will be willing to take the chance with you if they beleive in you and your concept. To echo Jim Collins, "Get the right people on the bus." Sounds like that is what your trying to do. Good luck. Shawn | |||
