Tim Collier said, "This has been a great project to work on and shows what the County Borough of Caerphilly has to offer with regard to landscape and wildlife. I have enjoyed working with an enlightened and dynamic team within the Countryside and Landscape Service if Caerphilly throughout the taking and making of these images."

Nattawut: Rally a prelude to a coup
- Published: 30 Oct 2012 at 14.08
- Online news: Local News
Last Sunday's rally by the Pitak Siam Group led by Gen Boonlert Kaewprasit is a sign of another coup in the making, Deputy Commerce Minister Nattawut Saikuar said on Tuesday.
Mr Nattawut, a core member of the United Front of Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), called for the people to come out and show a stand against the Pitak Siam group.
He believed "a movement to topple the government" would continue to go on the offensive by lodging a petition with various agencies for a ruling to put the administration in disarray.

this song is aimed for the more grungy bosses, IE undead giant and priest. I'm not the best at amking real metal as i don't play guitar, but i hope my keyboard did a convincing job. either way, i don't mind it, especially considering i'm not that well practiced in 'double-kicking' on my drums...

Very good loop, remember it well from the priest boss as it took quite a while for me trying to keep my distance as best as possible.
It loops perfectly, no flaws there and has a good solo to it.
Before writing this view i thought it would be best to read the description and i was very surprised. Your keyboard was very convincing as i actually thought it WAS a guitar!
Without a doubt a 5 Star here.

MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - The Jimmy John's sub shop on Hagadorn Road in Meridian Township is robbed at gunpoint late Tuesday night.

The employees say the thief left through a back door and ran into a car waiting for him on Hannah Boulevard.
The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 6 feet tall, with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a dark colored hooded sweatshirt, gray sweatpants, red Converse All Star tennis shoes with a white band around the sole, aviator-style sunglasses, and a red baseball cap with a black brim (possibly a Chicago Blackhawks hat).
A surveillance photo has been provided.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact the Meridian Township Police Department at (517) 853-4800 or (517) 483-STOP. An anonymous tip may also be submitted on Meridian Township Police Department's various social media sites.

Hated by the English Premier League champions, chastised by the UK's Prime Minister and even lampooned by a pizza company -- is Luis Suarez the number one enemy to English football?
If the Uruguayan had not already secured his place as the "Enfant Terrible" of the English game then he now has that role all wrapped up.
As Suarez sank his teeth into the flesh of Branislav Ivanovic, he put paid to the old adage of "once bitten, twice shy."
No sooner had the Liverpool striker been handed a 10-game ban for his meal on Merseyside than the entire footballing world began a furious debate over the severity of the punishment.
"The FA should explain how they've come to 10 games," Rory Smith, football writer at The Times newspaper told CNN.
"If they've taken his past transgressions into account then that's understandable, but by not explaining they're allowing for lots of speculation and conspiracy.
"They could have given seven matches, which is the same as the Dutch FA so it would be interesting to see their reasoning.
"It's unusual for past offenses to be taken into account and perhaps there is a thought that they have something against Suarez.
"The problem they have now is that next time there is a reckless challenge which goes over the top of the ball and hurts a player, what are they going to do?
"Are they saying biting is worse?"
Suarez is no saint. That much has been clear ever since that infamous handball at the 2010 World Cup which deprived Ghana of a place in the semifinal and earned him a red card and his country a place in the last four.
Then there was the episode where he was labeled as the "Cannibal of Amsterdam" after he was hit with a seven match ban for biting PSV Eindhoven midfielder Otman Bakkal's shoulder during a match in November 2010.
His reputation was tarnished further when he was given an eight-match suspension and a $63,000 fine after being found guilty by the Football Association of racially abusing Patrice Evra.
After Sunday's game, Suarez, 26, was quick to apologize for his antics and would have hoped for a lesser sentence.
But he appears to have found himself in the unenviable role of English football's hate figure.
One company in the UK has even brought out a Suarez pizza where customers are invited to bite into his face, which is shaped with various toppings.
The Uruguayan has won few friends outside of Anfield, despite riding high in the English Premier League goalscoring charts with 23 so far this season.
His constant niggling away at defenders, his penchant for diving around the penalty area and his often childish behavior has riled opponents and opposing fans.
But this latest incident, which occurred during last Sunday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea at Anfield has caused outrage both within and outside the realms of sport.
Such was the outcry at Suarez's actions that even British Prime Minister David Cameron felt compelled to offer his opinion on the matter.
"It is rightly a matter for the football authorities to consider," a Downing Street spokesman said.
"As part of their consideration, I think it would be very understandable if they took into account the fact that high-profile players are often role models."
In a statement issued by the FA on Wednesday, the organization which runs the English game insisted that "a suspension of three matches was clearly insufficient and the player will serve a further seven first-team matches in addition to the standard three."
Liverpool, which has until midday on Friday to respond, has already criticized the decision and the severity of the ban.
Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre told the club's official site: "Both the club and player are shocked and disappointed at the severity of today's Independent Regulatory Commission decision.

I know a company that might be able to help you called Brandbank
They are very strong in the FMCG sector already, but they also have the facilities to set up a program with your suppliers for taking the shot (they have a studio), inputting any additional product data attributes that you need, setting up and then sending them automatically (via an XML feed or flat file) to your content management system, where they can either be directed straight into production, or you can set up a process to sign them off first. They also have the facilities to charge this back to your suppliers, and have the people in place to chase suppliers up (with your backing of course!)
Alternatively, you will have to speak to an industry specialist such as Cnet ( www.cnet.com/ )
who have loads of information about particular products (in this case electricals) - you can purchase information off them on a product by product basis - the risk here is product churn though - you will have to keep the data up to date yourself, where as with a company like Brandbank, they set up a relationship with your suppliers, so the onus is on them, not you....Have past experience here, so if you have any more questions call me on 020 7961 3200
Yes, I know of company that exactly does that. They are called MARS Interactive and are based in Chattanooga, TN. USA. There website address is http://www.tomars.com.

Does anyone know a defined term for this space – a company that captures product data and imagery from retailer supply chains and delivers them to the retailers e-commerce system along with any other data the retailer needs. Content creation or similar doesn't quite capture what they do. Any ideas?
A term commonly used is PIM (Product Information Management) but often this really just means the software, not the process or service. A good software company is www.fulltilt.com (they are based in PA, USA) and a good service company is www.brandbank.com (they are based in Surrey, UK). Interestingly, Brandbank call this space "decide-at-home content and imagery". Personally I call it catalogue management. Brandbank provide a managed service which I believe is unique. I notice Andy already suggested Brandbank. GfK Group have a product called Encodex where you can buy product data for various product categories (in CSV or XML format) which complies with global standards. www.gfkms.com (they are based in Surrey, UK).
Based on my experience in this area, the major drivers are:
- ability to provide side-by-side product comparisons within an e-commerce site
- ability to provide appropriate data to third party price comparison engines
- ability to provide customers with quality information and images to close a sale
and the two biggest challenges are of course:
- sourcing the digital assets (images, videos, etc.) from the suppliers in consistent format with white background, no shadows, etc.
- sourcing the information from the suppliers in consistent format against a global standard set of product attributes (see GS1)
Retailers often don't consider the size of this problem and they just expect the suppliers to provide them with quality information to help them sell more of their products. Suppliers in turn don't think about the retailers' requirements. This problem is starting to change as people learn more about the logistics of retailing online. There have been various attempts at setting up a consortium to provide a portal for product information but these have been largely ineffective to date.
To fully understand the problem, consider the challenge an online retailer like Currys has. They sell washing machines from Hotpoint, Whirlpool, Hoover, etc. They ask each of these suppliers for product images but they come at different angle, aspect ratios, with different backgrounds, different lighting, shadows, etc. Then they all provide totally different sets of product attributes. You could argue that they all know what sells washing machines and that the only data they provide is the important data (say spin speed, door opening size, external dimensions, energy efficiency) but what happens if Hotpoint say their spin speed is 1400 RPM (revolutions per minute), Whirlpool say theirs is 1,400 RPM and Hoover say theirs is 23.33 RPS (revolutions per second)? These are all the same values but Currys must amend them all to a consistent format if they want to do side-by-side product comparisions on their web site or provide compelling search and browse functionality.
This is a problem most online retailers have. Retailers and suppliers expect each other to make the effort to find a resolution. Suppliers think that if they provide good products then the retailer will deal with the headache of not having decent product images and attributes. Maybe the suppliers with the weakest products have the most incentive to listen to the retailers' requirements? Maybe as their products get stronger the big guys will have to follow suit? At the end of the day it still comes down to the e-commerce agencies/consultants or project managers to find a solution and they ultimately work on behalf of the retailers.
This is one of the challenges with online retailing. If it was as simple as some people think then there would be a lot more excellent sites. In my opinion, the web site software is the easy bit - the difficult bit is the catalogue management, fulfillment and the customer service.

The charge that John McCain is a racist was issued by the Congressional Black Caucus, a group that openly excludes white and Hispanic representatives. Why are statements from the CBC taken seriously?If non-black and non-Hispanic representatives formed the Congressional White Caucus, news services would do their best to avoid reporting on the CWC´s press comferences. Any reporting of the CWC would be heavily laced with terms like "controversial, divisive, inflammatory, hateful and/or fringe element".

If this was so innocent a statement that she made on 9/16 on five Sunday shows, then why did it take over two months to defend the statement and why did she have to read from talking points to defend herself?

First of all it wasn´t the UN ambassador´s job to talk about this.

Much more is being covered up here than who changed the wording of a memo. The questions we need answers to are:1. Who gave the order to send help?2. Who gave the order for the planes carrying the held to land somewhere and stand down?In my opinion, the President and the Secretary of State did not want any attention called to the fact that terrorism still exists. They believed that end was best served by allowing the attack to kill off our people quickly and then the claim could be made that nothing could have been done. We would never have known that the cause was not the video. We would never have known that they called for help, were told help was coming, and then withdrew it without warning them of what no help was coming and it would be useless to use that radar pointer.Unfortunately, for their plan our people put up a seven hour fight.

sample programs do not work right now. I get errors like this (in the EV3BumperCar):
root@EV3:~/lejos/samples# jrun EV3BumperCar
Open motor 0
Open motor 1
Open motor 2
Open motor 3
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at EV3BumperCar.main(EV3BumperCar.java:41)
The HelloWorld works OK but anything with motors has this problem. I am rather new to leJOS so I may be doing something wrong
but it all worked with the old version.

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
i was listenin to LEOG yesterday and Leon mentioned that 1999 was the single best year in film, and that it had a reoccuring string of movies that dealt with identity issues. As someone who is influenced by existentialism, id love to find some movies about identity and how people struggle with it.
so far, the ones ive seen concerning the issue have included Lost in Translation, Five Easy Pieces, Taxi Driver, the first two Toy Story movies, and to a degree I Love You Phillip Morris. are there any ones that you people like alot or would recommend?
Tags: about, driver, easy, existentialism, films, five, i, identity, in, lost, More…love, morris, phillip, pieces, story, taxi, toy, translation, you
Since i watch a lot of sci-fi the ones that come to mind for me are Blade Runner,Total Recall, Brazil, Robocop, The Lawnmower Man, A clockwork Orange, and GATTACA.
You might even want to try Face-Off or The Island.
Mulholland Drive
Black Swan
In Bruges
1999 and 2001 were both great years for films about identity: Memento and Mulholland both came out in 2001. They are probably the two best depictions of identity in film. The recent Black Swan is similar to Mulholland Dr., but its more linear and not as deep.
'99 was a great year, which is ironic because 2000 was one of the worst years ever. In any case, here are my suggestions.
Gattaca - Under-appreciated, but really great film
Memento - Although everyone's already suggested it, they're dead-on.
Lawrence of Arabia - There's nothing I could say about this that hasn't already been said.
The Wind That Shakes The Barley - More about political ideology as a function of social identity, but it follows an existential bent.
Boyz N The Hood - Snapshot of Black America in the early 90's. Pretty much a perfect film in my book.
thanks for the recommendations, guys. of the movies u suggested, i did see:
Eyes Wide Shut - i didnt really see this as a film about identity but more about sexual nature and where it draws the line between a shared experience between two people or just something of pleasure. still really good, though
Adaptation - i loved this movie. this film made me fall in love with Charlie Kaufman's writing style and makes me wanna see Being John Malkavich and Synechdoche, New York.
Brazil - i really need to rewatch this whenever i can. i recently got into George Orwell's work and id love to find more allagories to Orwell that i missed the first time i saw Brazil.
A Clockwork Orange - Kubrick's awesome. thats all i can say
Shutter Island - i saw this one on a bad date with a girl, so i couldnt really pay attention to the plot when my arm around her shoulder was losing blood flow by the second
Black Swan - again, really great film and well deserved Oscar contender, but not really about identity. i saw it as more about insanity and art-through-adversity.

President of heiress to a facility goes give it to borrow stops -- -- of Virginia and Ohio those ads in swing states where the jobless rates are dropping.
And their rich electoral votes are certainly.
They also haven't run by Republican governors to my candidate on it.
-- unwittingly helping the present I mean things are improving I mean.
You've heard from governor Kasich an Ohio was on this autos and well if the -- is it helps them.
Find I'm more interested in helping my residence that was your argument certainly when you were running Arkansas but.
It is a little weird.
Well these governors have got to put first and foremost making sure people in their states are going to -- paycheck.
-- welfare check every week so that's good news if it helps the president it helps him.
But I think that the bigger issue even in states like Ohio and Virginia.
Is that just because the unemployment rate is down it doesn't mean that all the people who want to be fully employed or employed.
It it simply means that.
There are some number of them that are.
But there -- a lot of people that just quit looking and that's why these numbers even the eight point one doesn't really reflect the true unemployment.
And far more objective sources than me I'm not objective I'm very partisan.
But Gallup and others are saying that the real numbers are up in the upper teens sixteen to 20%.
Right next to a lot of frustrated were you write about that -- yes and I'm curious.
Where the president is looking national and says are well this this unemployment rate is really not budging much the jobs gains are not really.
That note worthy but.
I could cobble together a strategy.
For Ohio for Florida.
-- some of these states where things are turning around.
And grab just a neck enough electoral votes to pull pull victory out.
That's how you win an election it's not all about -- the national message it is going to be decided -- a handful of states probably five or six states.
Well actually determine the outcome of the election because most of the states.
Are gonna clearly tilt one way or the other.
And the candidates are not gonna spend a lot of time in places like Texas because they don't have to.
But what is your understanding governor when you know running -- -- and it yet ultimately things are good and a state.
Do they say are we have a great governor.
Or did -- say no we have a great president brewers at parties solve the entire time -- act -- that's things went.
No it you know you always have to bear some of the responsibility whether it's real.
Are whether it's even just because somebody's got to be blamed -- and you happen to be the guy in the job.
Controversy though it's going well.
You get some credit but here's what the Republican governor can do and and this is the benefit to Mitt Romney's campaign.
Rather than give Obama credit for it when you can say -- nationally things aren't going well but in Virginia are in Ohio things are going well.
Not because of -- -- a -- because of Republican governors who have led pro growth policies.
Who it put a lid on spending who have kept taxes low and invited business back that's the counter argument that I think can be very effective -- You -- today with President Obama that's what you would do you would say well don't you find it curious that in these states would this type of environment unemployment rate going down just picking up GDP improving.
States were none of that is occurring.
Just yet and that's exactly what you do you want -- Romney doesn't do that.
Well he will by November.
Are you surprised -- the tightness in the polls.
Even with the slowing economy not really because.
You -- I think we have to remember the election is really decided by a handful of people in the middle.
People who think like I think.
You know can't believe that people would vote for another four years of Obama.
But then I go talk to people on the streets and and they're just thrilled to death because Obama's gonna give him a free house and a free car and free food and and they want to be Julia they want to be that person who from cradle to grave.
Is able to be always counting.
-- we're gonna we're gonna be going into that but do you think that the fact that so many are.
A living off the government go in more than half the people in this country don't pay no federal income tax that that could be a built in -- It's you bet it is people vote for themselves they don't vote for the bigger that I wish I could tell you oh yes they do I don't know they don't.
They vote is -- doing well they don't mind if people still staying in office if they're not doing well they'll vote against their own party.
Well put we'll put governor thank you very much rather -- and that's.

I am pleased to announce that the Association Board of Directors (ABoD) has honored longtime member William F. Howell by naming the cup presented to Association Outstanding Chapter Award (AOCA) recipients for him.
Bill observed his 60th anniversary as an NMAA/DPMA/AITP member on April 16, 2012. No other member has ever achieved this milestone. Unfortunately, as we reported in Information Executive (http://www.aitp.org/news/90628/), Bill passed away two days later.
His 60 years as a member, volunteer and leader contributed to the lives and professional growth of thousands who today are part of his legacy. I wanted to do something for Bill that perpetuates his name in AITP and memorializes his contributions to our Association and the IT profession. The ABoD concurred at its June 27th meeting and approved my request to name the William F. Howell Cup.
When I told his daughter, Catherine Howell, about the William F. Howell Cup, she wrote to me: "I know I speak for all of my sisters in expressing our appreciation of this honor on my father's behalf. He cherished his professional and personal relationships with the members of the NMAA, DPMA, and AITP over his many years of service … I know that he would have been both overwhelmed and deeply touched by this honor."
We will present the first Howell Cup to the 2011 AOCA winner at the Annual Membership Meeting in Green Bay, WI on October 10, 2012.

What he -- -- -- the -- doctors say cancer almost killed a sixteen year old a six year old girl.
Until they -- a very different kind of treatment.
They gave her a disabled form of HIV the -- virus that causes aids.
And now that young girl named Emma has been cancer free for nearly seven months.
And researchers say this could really fundamentally change the way we treat the crippling cancer known as leukemia.
That's -- after the procedure earlier this year with us now one doctor -- develop this experimental treatment.
Doctor David Porter is director of blood and marrow transport transplantation.
At the -- center for advanced medicine in Philadelphia doctor good afternoon thank you.
Good afternoon HIV hat hat -- what does this do.
Well if you think about it one of the ways that HIV works is by getting into cells into -- themselves.
It's very very good at getting into cells he HIV virus itself makes them sick and in fact kills the immune cells so.
Well what my colleagues have actually done.
Is to take the parts of the HIV virus that are good -- it getting into cells get rid of the parts that make the cell sicken or kill the cells.
And replace that with the molecules that can that can then target the cells to fight leukemia.
So uses the good parts without the bad parts Abby gets bad part out.
Tom in other -- the scientists who do this have molecular biology techniques there are.
Enzymes in the lab that actually can just chop out the bad parts.
Displace the good parts back together.
And you can actually put in new information.
So that the HIV virus instead of making proteins to make the -- set.
Make proteins to make the cell kill the -- sells -- getting in there that's the key.
Breaking the lock -- that is the cell getting in and then working against.
Actually more working -- that rather than working against using the HIV virus to work with the cell.
To do good things rather than bad things -- I don't have to begin to talk here about what leukemia has done to so many families and how many lives it has taken.
This sounds like on the surface doctor it could be an extraordinary thing -- dial it back -- if necessary.
Well I think you're right down leukemia.
Is a devastating disease there is nothing good about it.
I think the good news is that over the last decade there have been development of any new therapies.
Many patients with leukemia are -- today when they never -- curable.
And that is the good news.
There are still many to many patients children and adults alike who have leukemia that is incurable.
-- effective therapies.
And stop working after a time.
Many of these patients can be cured with a very very risky and intensive therapies like bone marrow transplant.
The bone marrow transplants are quite intensive they they have enormous risk they're very dangerous.
Many patients don't have a donor to even have a transplant.
Even if they could and there's -- this desperate need to try and find.
Better therapies.
Two to treat and cure patients with leukemia who otherwise have no options when doctor David Porter I know how thankful much of our video viewing audience is good luck to you and all your colleagues thank you.
Well thank you very much all right doctor David Porter -- this from from Atlanta.

Its been 1876 since republicans have had a higger number of Governors. . They have 30 now ! Again the number of state legislatures controlled by Republicans is just under 60 percent . Compared to the times once again to the leftists here and nationally submit to the fall of the GOP it is quite amazing . In fact as a republican I hope we continue to decline from your concept .
The GOP actually thought this election was a gimme . The folks still speaking to the economy as though its been a successful four years , our debt getting ready to once again cause a decline in our credit rating , and politically once again in sometime of show down with a President who just does not get it , we are not red America , we are not blue America , we are just America. His concept of behind the scenes compromise is in front of the scenes stating he is going to get his way or the highway .

"a gimme"??...not when all you have to campaign upon are LIES...havn't learned the lesson yet, have you?

...as for "economics" issue you obliquely raise, it is far, far past time for YOU to tell the TRUTH regarding cause of Wall $treet economic debacle which has destroyed U.S. economics for over 5 years already, on the way to 10-20 more...
as usual, waiting on Mick....who never has, never will, explain=follow the $$$$ to cause...
ever wonder reason fundamentalists cannot tell the truth regarding economic disaster? Don't suppose you can answer that either, Mick??

Seven Glaciers
Online Reservations
Ever since our daughter s 16th birthday 8 years ago, this is the restaurant she had chosen to celebrate that special annual occasion.
We had a wonderful experience at 7 Glaciers! I was definitely a highlight of our trip!
We celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary at Seven Glacier. The evening started with a beautiful drive from Anchorage down to the Alyeska ski resort. We saw a Dall Sheep or maybe it was a goat on the cliffs above the road. We then took a gondola from the gorgeous Alyeska hotel to the top of a double diamond ski run, which is where the restaurant is located. On our ride up we saw a black bear in a lovely spring meadow. The view at the restaurant is breathtaking! (ladies if you enjoy views and want to walk around before or after dinner, do not wear high heels!) The staff was very pleasant and did not rush us, we had a two hour meal. The steak was perfect and you could cut it with a butter knife. It was a very romantic evening!!!
This was our first time visiting Alaska, having come there from NY for a wedding. We decided to stay at Alyeska Resort and dine at Seven Glaciers for our anniversary whic occurred during our stay. I requested a quiet table with a view and was pleasantly surprised to have both requests addressed. Service was excellent. Everything from the ordering to the serving of the courses was efficient and professionally executed. The chef is outstanding and each of our courses was a joy to the palate. A must if you are in the area.
I had a reservation booked at 9 pm. Our party of 5 got seated immediately. Prices were higher than usual, but it was worth it for the experience of riding up the tram and the beautiful views at the top of the mountain. For a starter I had the Scallop Bisque which was quite good and my husband had the halibut ceviche, which was his favorite part of the meal. Everyone in our party loved the food, until we tried the baked Alyeska for desert which had been recommended to us. I would recommend sharing it with the entire table, it was too sweet and not as impressive as we had hoped based on the rest of the meal. Overall, I would give the food a A- and service a B+.
We are problematic diners due to the fact my husband is allergic to onions and I can't eat cilantro. The manager and servers at Seven Glaciers were exemplary in their handling of these dietary needs. We had both ordered the Chef's Tasting menu paired with a flight of wines. When it became apparent that my husband's allergy wouldn't make the entrees feasible, the manager smoothly stepped in to recommend an alternative and was kind enough to cover the two appetizer courses that had already been served. Most outstanding for us was the remarkably well-paired wines that were served with the dishes, each perfectly setting off the flavours that were so finely executed.
VIP Guests from Company were impressed by wine cellar and list,. Service and view was fantastic food was exceptional. Made strong positive impression.
Everything was excellent! My wardrobe was a bit lean during this trip, yet felt at home in blue jeans. The staff was very courteous and un-pretentious, welcoming my family at all times and during all interactions. I am not a "High-Roller", so when I do splurge for a really nice dinning experience, once every ten years, I tend to fell like a fish out of water. As far as the menu and flavors, nothing I tried was bad or over the top because the chef was trying to invent some special dish. Very well put together, even for this "Meat and Potatoes" guy from the Mid-West. If I had to comment negatively on one thing..... the parking. Allow plenty of time to park, and take a 5 to 10 minute uphill stroll to the tram.
We celebrated an incredible two weeks in Alaska and a major birthday at the Seven Glaciers Restaurant in the mountains high above The Hotel Alyeska in Girdwood, Alaska. The incredible views and ambiance were matched by the beautiful presentation, service and exceptional food and wine. We certainly added an exceptional memory to an exceptional adventure vacation.
If it's your first time or you are undecided about what to select, go for the chef's choice. At the time we visited this was a salad, three small courses and a dessert. All of the selections were from the menu in an abreviated version and was a wonderful way to experience the various textures and flavors.
Great ambiance, food preparation and presentation was pleasing, service lacked subtle refinements. Servers need to expand Thier knowledge of ediquette. Brought a well behaved toddler, which was ignored and not served. Enjoyed the variety of food and wine choices. Menu and wine prices were well above compatible destinations.
We made reservations to enjoy the view from on top of the mountain, we were not disappointed! Two of us decided to have the wine pairing with dinner, loved it! We are all so glad we had dinner here while visiting Alaska!
The food at the Seven Glaciers is not your typical "restaurant with a view" food. It is just as good as the tremendous views this restaurant is famous for. We visited on a clear night in July and were able to see all seven glaciers that are near the restaurant. This is a wonderful place for special occasions. It should not be missed on any visit to Anchorage or Alaska in general.
It felt like we were eating in the clouds. The views were STUNNING!
On July 31, 2013, took my wife and son on the cable car ride up to the scenic 2000 feet views and delicious steak and seafood cuisine at Seven Glaciers. Enjoyed the tomato and watermelon gazpacho and Alaskan crabcakes for starters, followed by the fine organic filet from Oregon. Baked Alyeska dessert is to be shared with its rich chocolate overtones. Service was attentive and exceptional. I used OpenTable to make our reservations.
We were on a land/sea Alaskan Tour and this was the last stop for the land tour. The presentation was so impressive, I took photos of each course. The taste was superb.
Excellent service & Outstanding Meal! I can see why all the awards. From start to finish everything was Perfect!!! Can't wait to visit again in the future!!! If you have a chance to experience the food and take in the views, don't miss this one!!!
The whole evning was wonderful, and Raleigh was an excellent server.
The restaurant is located at the top of a tram that travels 2300 ft. up a mountainside. We were there on a rainy and cloudy evening. Thus we expected to see only above cloud level. However the clouds were constantly moving creating clear views in every direction at sometime during the evening. The food was very interesting and delicious. It was noisy the evening we were there though the restaurant was nearly empty. A group from a wedding party were there for a "post party" and were very noisy.
A wonderful evening all around. It began with the scenic tram ride to the restaurant, then he views and amazing food!
What a find. This was one of the finest dining experiences of my life. We reserved a table three months in advance and were VERY glad we did because they were booked when we arrived at Alyeska. The halibut was superb as was Leslie, our server. The view from the table was spectacular. Service was professional, attentive, but not overpowering. This is a MUST if you're in the area.
Everything was perfect....service was prompt, but not intrusive: server very knowledgeable of menu and made excellent recommendations; the food was outstanding....wonderful flavors and textures; great wine list; and even though a cloudy and rainy evening, the views were outstanding...all in all a special place for that special event or when you just want to treat yourself to something extra...
Excellent ambience and scenic. I'm not sure there is a table without a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains! They have a vegetarian menu unlike most 4 star restaurants! A very extensive wine list as well as half-bottles. It was a perfect dining experience of ambience, service, and well-flavored and presented food! A little zen perfection of a dining experience.
The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent. The location was fabulous with views of Alaska's beautiful mountains and glaciers. It was an unforgettable dining experience!
I got reservations for my wife and I for our first wedding anniversary and we were both blown away. The restaurant itself is amazing. The decor is very upscale and suiting of a restaurant on top of a mountain. The staff is very friendly and helpful with the wine selection and food selection. Being that this is an upscale eatery expect to pay as such but you won't regret it.
Surprised my wife for our wedding anniversary and we have never been to seven glaciers before. We were treated like royalty from coat check to dessert. The food was amazing and the service was a perfect blend of privacy and attention. The only bad part was we were seated in the best seat in the house and with open seating we will never be able to get that seat again. It was a very romantic dinner with the most spectacular view on earth. Thanks seven glaciers!
This dining experience is perfect for a unique Alaska experience. I live here and we try to take visitors to our state to diner at the 7glaciers because it is such a beautiful adventure with perfect food.
Of course, a lot of this place is about the views (and you get a tram ride out of the deal, to boot). However, the food and service are right up there with the best that Anchorage has to offer. Not quite to the level of Jens' or Marx Bros, but very close--which both of those, especially Jens', the quality of ingredients and preparation / presentation are elevated just a bit above Seven Glaciers. Just to get the views while dining makes this one worth checking the box.
Very impressive. Hostess and waitress happily made every accommodation. Our first visit was cancelled due to high winds shutting down the tram. Worth the wait.
I chose the Chef's Tasting Menu and wasn't disappointed. I can't remember everything I ate (there were 5 courses) but I was able to taste some great locally caught salmon, halibut, and crab. The portions were just right: I didn't get stuffed on anything, but was able to enjoy all the flavors ... and a full belly at the end of the night.
We had a great time. The bartender was very knowledgeable and helpful about the area. The service was wonderful and the view was just awesome... Hope to return again.
I was lucky to get a last minute reservation as a surprise for my wife. We were on our honeymoon and staying at the Alyeska Resort. My wife and I were not taken as seriously by the hostess or waiter since we are only 21. I could tell not many young adults dine at this restaurant. The food was exquisite! It definitely was the best meal we had while in Alaska. I just hope next time we will be treated more like adults.
Spectacular views -- fine dining -- food very good -- service started out excellent but slowed down as our meal progressed.
We only had appetizers and wine at our table however the appetizers were as great as our server recommended. It was an overall wonderful experience for our first time there.
An exceptional restaurant for a special occasion or romantic evening. The ski tram ride to the mountain top restaurant has never disappointed and the for and service have always been exceptional.
Would certainly recomend this restaurant we were lucky enough to have great views as well as the weather had cleared up this afternoon.
Brought my boyfriend for the second time on his birthday. This has been a tradition now every year for his birthday. Seven Glaciers has not disappoint us at all. The atmosphere, service and food has been superb. We can not wait to be back again next year for his birthday. More likely we will be back sooner than that :)
Great scenic view and atmosphere up in the mountains with excellent food. Would strongly recommend this restaurant to those travelling in the Girdwood area.
I found the view outstanding and the service was exceptional The oysters and tatar appetizers were funominial. My New York steak was outstanding and was accented by the house steak sauce a winning combination. The sides however were some what anticlimatic the horseradish potatoes need more horseradish as I was unable to taste any, and were slightly undercooked, the bacon wrapped asperagus had no seasoning at the tip end but was seasoned to perfection at the wrapped end. just more attention to these details would have tipped the scale from great to outstanding.
We were at the hotel for a wedding in the area and had dinner at Seven Glaciers on our first night. The view is great and the service was the best we had on our trip to Alaska. At the same time, if you are grading the establishment in comparison to other Alaska restaurants, it is by far the best meal, best service and best overall experience we had on our trip. If you are expecting a 5 star experience and comparing against other major US cities and locations; you might want to lower your expectations. It is a great restaurant at the top of an Alaska ski resort - we loved it and would go back easily. .
My husband and I went to Seven Glaciers for our Date Night. Everything was special from the moment we boarded the tram for the ride up. The staff made us feel welcome and seemed so happy to share their wonderful restaurant and its views with us. Our server made some excellent suggestions and helped us choose a wine that we enjoyed very much. The food was outstanding! There were several courses and we ate every crumb, yet we did not end up feeling too full. The portion sizes were just right. Riding the tram back down we were in a post-meal happy glow. This was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. Thank you Seven Glaciers for a memorable evening!
My husband and I stayed at the resort for a marriage encounter seminar. We decided to have a romantic dinner at the Seven Glaciers since we had never been there. The staff worked as a team and there was not a moment where we waited for water or any other necessity. Saying that, we weren't continually bombarded by service either. The food was amazing. Our service was outstanding and very knowledgeable about the food, wine, chef, surroundings. I suggest going before dark if possible. The view out the windows of the mountains and glaciers is amazing. We watched clouds form and disappear before our eyes. All in all a fantastic experience. The tram ride is free with a reservation, don't forget your jacket since it does get cold after sundown.
One of the most exquisite meals I have ever eaten and in such a beautiful setting. Very impressed with Seven Glaciers!
We celebrated our 45th anniversary there recently and we couldn't have been more satisfied. Luckily the sun came out and the view was outstanding. Everything tasted delicious. Our compliments to the chefs.
I love the lay out of the restaurant and the location high up on mountain beautiful views. The level of services was outstanding. The food was heavenly. This was the right place for my sister's 50th birthday celebration.
First, I would like to thank our waiter Kelly, awesome guy, very knowledgeable, and an excellent example of the quality expected by seven glaciers restaurant. The meal was very delicious, we could not stop talking about the quality of service and the quality of the food. Highly recommended and the tram trip up puts the icing on top.
Seven Glaciers was a special place to dine on Thanksgiving. Our family needed a quiet dining experience for personal time to be thankful for all that we have. The service was exceptional and the food was prepared with creativity and American holiday tradition .
Reserved lunch for 10 which included 6 adults and 4 children (8 and under). They accomadated our large family group VERY well. The service was exceptional, while the food was such that no one raved about anything. Our burgers and steak were well done, despite ordering "medium" doneness. Fries were limp. Portions were small, but then this was the lunch menu. Kids really enjoyed the mac and cheese. Over all, I would recommend this restaurant for the view alone. I would not be afraid to take children here.
Great food. Great service. Just be prepared to ride in unheated tram.
The restaurant was absolutely wonderful, from the beginning to the end it was such a lovely experience. Thank you!

Oral argument: January 17, 2012
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (Feb. 7, 2011)
In 2006, the IRS adjusted Respondent Home Concrete's 1999 tax return, claiming that Home Concrete overstated its basis in sold assets. The Fourth Circuit found that this adjustment was untimely under the general three year statute of limitations for IRS actions, concluding that overstatements of basis are not omissions that would trigger an extended six year statute of limitations. Petitioner, the United States, argues that the language and purpose behind the statute clarify that overstating a sold asset's basis triggers the extended period, and that the Fourth Circuit should have deferred to the IRS's statutory interpretation contained within a Treasury Department regulation finalized during the appeal. Home Concrete argues that Supreme Court precedent applies here, eliminating ambiguity in the statutory interpretation. The Supreme Court's decision will resolve a circuit split over the proper limitations period; the decision will also address the degree of deference due to a Treasury regulation that may be interpreted as conflicting with Supreme Court precedent, and that may be viewed as applying retroactively. The Court's decision may affect the IRS's timeframe to detect certain complex tax schemes, and the time period within which taxpayers are subject to audits.

Prospective new Slammers owners, Joliet move closer to a baseball deal
By bob Okon firstname.lastname@example.com September 25, 2012 6:27PM
The Slammers have put so much money into fixing, cleaning and equipping Silver Cross Field since taking over the stadium lease in December that the team has earned credits that exceed the city's annual $150,000 rent. File photo | Sun-Times Media
Updated: October 27, 2012 6:19AM
JOLIET — A deal to bring in new owners of the Joliet Slammers with reduced rent at Silver Cross Field could go to the Joliet City Council for review Monday.
City Manager Thomas Thanas said Tuesday that the city and prospective owners are negotiating on a deal that mainly focuses on what the team would pay for rent.
The prospective owners have not been identified. But Thanas has previously said that the group does not include any local investors from Joliet or Will County.
The city does not own the team. But it owns Silver Cross Field, the stadium where the Slammers pay. A sale of the team by current owner Alan Oremus mainly involves a transfer of the lease, which the city must approve.
Thanas said that if the negotiations with a prospective buyer are successful, the Joliet City Council Baseball Committee could meet before the 3:30 p.m. city council meeting already scheduled for Monday.
"This all is subject to mayor and council approval," he said.
Thanas said some rent reduction will be part of the deal, although he would not suggest how much it might be.
Joliet already knocked down the annual rent at Silver Cross Field to $150,000 for the Slammers when Oremus took over the team after the 2010 season.
While Joliet would drop rent again, Thanas said the deal would be structured for the city to collect more revenue "if the team is successful."
Another issue is making sure the city collects enough rent to cover stadium maintenance so tax dollars and other revenue now funding public services are not used to support a baseball team.
Despite the financial challenges faced in recent years by the two baseball teams, Thanas said the city was contacted by a half-dozen different prospective buyers showing interest once the Slammers decided to sell.
The city is negotiating with a buying group that has made a tentative deal with Oremus. But Thanas said two other groups are "waiting in the wings" if the negotiations break down.
Mayor Thomas Giarrante said the city can cover maintenance costs at Silver Cross Field while reducing rent but it depends.
"It depends on how much it is reduced," he said. "I think we can if it's not reduced that much."
Giarrante said he's mainly hearing from baseball fans who want some kind of deal worked out.
"The only question I'm getting is, 'Are we going to have baseball next year?'" the mayor said. "I'm 99.9 percent sure that we're going to have baseball next year."
The Joliet team is an independent franchise, meaning it has no affiliation with any major league teams. The Slammers are part of the Frontier League.

HPV Vaccine Not Effective for Treating Pre-Existing Infections
Adapted from the NCI Cancer Bulletin.
A vaccine developed to prevent infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV), the cause of cervical cancer, was found to be ineffective for treating women with pre-existing HPV infections, according to a study published in the August 15, 2007, Journal of the American Medical Association (see the journal abstract).
The study, a community-based, randomized trial of 2,189 women in Costa Rica, was conducted by National Cancer Institute's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) and Costa Rican investigators (see the protocol summary). The researchers found no significant difference in how quickly an HPV infection was cleared among those who received the HPV vaccine compared with the control group who received vaccinations for hepatitis A.
At the six-month follow-up visit, rates of viral clearance were 33.4 percent for women who received vaccines against HPV types 16 and 18 compared with a 31.6 percent rate among the control group. At the 12-month visit, rates of clearance in the HPV vaccine group were 48.8 percent versus 49.8 percent for the controls.
"The main finding of the study was to demonstrate that among women who are already infected, the HPV vaccine does not help accelerate the rate of viral clearance," commented Dr. Allan Hildesheim with DCEG. "Therefore, women who are infected with HPV should not take the vaccine to treat their infections or associated lesions."
The study reinforces the importance of targeting HPV vaccination towards adolescent girls before they begin sexual activity "because that would maximize the benefit provided by vaccination," he added.
The study is part of a larger community-based clinical trial of 7,466 Costa Rican women. The larger study will address broad issues about the vaccine including efficacy, duration of protection, and global impact of vaccination on HPV and HPV-related disease. Among other questions, "the study will address whether vaccination is important for women who have previously been infected and have cleared the infection by themselves," said Dr. Hildesheim.

Hi B.
Just wanted to ask if I could make a doc talking about what kind of responses are needed on this forum.
Many of my thread's responses from other forum members didn't help me at all. Actually, they did quite the contrary! They made me angry with my responders, confused about what I should do next, and helpless.
I feel that after I write this, that Global Moderators of this forum should at least ATTEMPT to look for this. Hell! Make me a global moderator and I'll make sure of it myself! (please?? :-\)
The Doc Helpers group does not exist to address anything other than the Online Manual's documentation of the SMF software. Doc Helpers document the software, not people and not procedures on this forum. If you do not want to help us do that, please feel free to let us know, and we will remove you from the group.

Tourist charged with armed robbery after stealing cannoli
BOSTON (WHDH) -- A man from Ireland vacationing in Boston has been charged with armed robbery after he allegedly stole a cannoli from a bakery in the North End.
The Irishman was arraigned Thursday in Boston Municipal Court.
The ordeal was caught on surveillance camera. The man can be seen entering Bova's Bakery after 3:30 Thursday morning with a kitchen knife in his hand.
"I said, 'What are you looking for?' He went, 'Shh,' and I says, 'What are you looking for?'" said Philip Laferla, Bova's Bakery employee.
Instead, he found something better in the glass pastry case.
"He wanted a cannoli on the house," said Vicki Bova Kluse
"He comes in and goes, 'Give me a couple cannolis,' so I gave him the cannolis," Laferla said.
The employee handed it over, and the intruder can be seen taking a bite of one on his way out.
Police later arrested Robert McTernan at the bakery; an Irish tourist, who had arrived in Boston hours earlier for a two-week vacation.
Locals agree he picked the right place for a taste of the North End.
"They're delicious," one man said.
"They have the best cannolis in the North End. No not worth stealing," said Paul Ciano.
As for Bova's, they're proud of their pastries, but they only want to see knives in the kitchen.
The employees still don't know what the man was looking for.
McTernan had to surrender his Irish passport. He is due in court next week.

by Josh Levs from CNN
When 20-year-old Ashley Carter heard about a mosque burned to the ground in her town this week, she was shocked.
"I was very saddened," she told CNN on Wednesday. "I thought it was very evil."
So Carter, a student at Ozark Christian College in Joplin, Missouri, texted a friend, suggesting they organize an event "promoting acts of love."
But quickly, the idea changed: They would organize a "rally of people coming together, from all walks of life, all religions, a really diverse group of people trying to promote this radical love."
She called Kimberly Kester, spokeswoman for the Islamic Society of Joplin, whose worship house serving about 50 families in the southwest Missouri city burned down Monday. Investigators have not determined the cause, but the mosque has been attacked in the past.
Kester supported the idea. So Carter and some of her friends created the plan for the rally and announced it on a Facebook page. The next day, Tuesday, word began to spread. By Wednesday morning, more than 400 people had posted that they would attend the event, scheduled for Saturday, August 25.
Carter said she was inspired by "my love for Jesus. And I know that Jesus calls us to love people."
