The times of their lives: towards precise narratives of change for the European Neolithic through formal chronological modelling - The Times of Their Lives is funded by a five-year (2012–2017) Advanced Investigator Grant, from the European Research Council, which I am leading jointly with Dr Alex Bayliss of English Heritage. The project offers ground-breaking progress towards the construction of much more precise chronologies for the Neolithic period in Europe, particularly focused on phases after initial transformations, through a proven combination of expertise in Neolithic archaeology and Bayesian statistical analysis. It offers a series of case studies across much of the continent, working principally through the application of formal chronological modelling in a Bayesian statistical framework, combined with critical, problem-oriented archaeological analysis. We hope to provide much more precise timings of key features and trends in the European Neolithic sequence than are currently available, and to construct much more precise estimates of the duration of events and phenomena. From these there is the possibility to open up new insights into the tempo of change through the detailed study of selected sites and situations across the span of the European Neolithic, from the sixth to the early third millennia cal BC. At stake is our ability to study the lives of Neolithic people everywhere at the scale of lifetimes, generations and even decades, as opposed to the more usual scale of centuries. For further detail, see the project's own website at http://.totl.eu
The first farmers of central Europe: diversity in LBK lifeways - The Linearbandkeramik culture or LBK represents the first farmers of central and western Europe (c. 5500–5000 cal BC). Many excavations and investigations have taken place, but rather general models of sedentary existence dominate the literature.
The project questions models which impose too much uniformity on the LBK, and seeks diversity at local and regional scales, and through the LBK sequence. In particular, it seeks to investigate the life histories of humans (and animals) by a combination of isotopic, osteological and archaeological analyses.
The project is employing isotopic, osteological and archaeological analyses of human (and animal) samples from LBK cemeteries and settlements. Isotopic analysis includes strontium for provenance and mobility studies, and carbon and nitrogen for dietary studies. Osteology involves a wide literature review of the LBK, combined with detailed study of selected assemblages. Archaeological analysis, particularly of cemeteries, combines results from the other lines of enquiry with grave goods and other factors. There will be some radiocarbon dating.
Our first interim paper is currently (2010) being written, and lectures have been given at TAG and in Germany. We will give a presentation in September 2010 at the EAA conference.
This project is being carried out jointly with colleagues from Oxford and Durham Universities, and a large number of colleagues in France, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and Hungary. The project RA in Cardiff is Dr Penny Bickle.
Radiocarbon dating of causewayed enclosures: towards a history of the early Neolithic - The project has been undertaken jointly by Professor Alasdair Whittle (Cardiff University), Dr Alex Bayliss (Scientific Dating Co-ordinator for English Heritage) and Frances Healy. The project is funded by English Heritage and AHRC and its value is c. £350,000.
The fourth millennium cal BC in Britain is coming into sharper chronological focus. Change and development are increasingly visible within what was even recently seen as an almost undifferentiated early Neolithic hundreds of years long. This is the result both of the general accumulation of radiocarbon dates and of research projects which have targeted chronological questions.
Gains in precision, however, have been uneven. It is possible to date a few events in the fourth millennium to periods of 50 years or less. This makes it difficult to relate them to the bulk of the record which still floats between far wider limits. This level of resolution has been achieved for some long barrows and cairns, for some components of the Hambledon Hill causewayed enclosure complex in Dorset and for some components of Stonehenge. Its achievement for causewayed enclosures, the first large-scale, communal monuments to be built by farming populations in Britain, would make it possible to answer questions such as those below.
- Did causewayed enclosures begin to be built at the same time throughout Britain?
- Or is there any geographical pattern?
- Were enclosures in clusters used successively, concurrently, alternately?
- How did their construction and use relate to that of other kinds of monument?
- Did they all go out of use at the same time?
- Or does the development of monuments in each area have its own dynamic?
- What are the implications of more precise histories for our understanding of early Neolithic society?
Precision of the required order has been reached by the application of Bayesian methodology to model radiocarbon results in the light of other available information. In the case of dates from archaeological contexts, the stratigraphic relationships of the samples are the single more important and most frequently used information.
Sample selection is a crucial step in the process because only samples contemporary with a context will date that context. Every attempt is made to avoid the dating of redeposited or intrusive samples.
The project's results have so far (2010) been presented in lectures in France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Hungary, the USA and many locations in the UK.
They will be published in the monograph, Gathering Time: Dating the Early Neolithic Enclosures of Southern Britain and Ireland, by Whittle, Hayliss and Healy, with contributions by many excavators (Oxbow Books: expected 2011).
The early Neolithic in Bavaria - This project has been initiated by Professor Alasdair Whittle and Dr Daniela Hofmann. It is directed at questions to do with the date, duration and nature of the spread of a Neolithic way of life across central Europe. This is generally associated with the LBK culture, which has classic manifestations in timber longhouse settlements, distinctive decorated pottery, and evidence for both animal husbandry and cereal cultivation. The LBK is broadly dated between c. 5500–5000 cal BC.
While the broad date and nature of the LBK has been established by generations of research in central (and western) Europe, we still do not know in much detail about the identity of those involved in its earliest stages. Were these incomers, or natives, or both? The project aims to build on previous research on the earliest phase, to get new material for precise dating, and to get better understanding of the character and duration of earliest settlement. Both may contribute to the long-standing and much-debated questions of identity and transformation at the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition.
The project began with a short season of geophysical and other survey of älteste LBK sites in Lower Bavaria: in the river valleys south of the Danube, on the southern side of the LBK distribution. This led to sample excavation of Niederhummel and Wang, near Moosburg, in 2008, which in turn has led to further analysis of finds and plant remains (in Oxford, by Amy Bogaard), to radiocarbon dating, and to micromorphological and chemical analysis of pit fill (in UCL, by Richard Macphail, and in Lampeter, by John Crowther). Further excavation is planned in 2011.
Körös culture environment, settlement and subsistence - The Körös culture, dated c. 6000–5500 cal BC, is found in the southern half of the Great Hungarian Plain. It is the earliest known manifestation of the Neolithic way of life in the northern part of the Carpathian basin. Many sites have been recognised on the Plain since the 1920s, principally found close to water. Rich archaeological remains survive, suggesting a population practising cereal cultivation and animal husbandry, but also fishing, shell collecting and hunting. Where did these people come from? What were the details of their subsistence practices? How did they live: in permanent settlements, or more transiently? Positioned strategically between Balkan Neolithic cultures to the south and large areas of central Europe to the north, which became Neolithic c. 5500 cal BC, the Körös culture poses a mass of significant questions for our understanding of Mesolithic-Neolithic transformations in Europe.
The British-Hungarian cooperative project, led by Alasdair Whittle, set specific aims: to get new, high-quality information on the environment, settlement and subsistence of the Körös culture, in a single micro-region within its distribution. The project is funded by: The British Academy, Humanities Research Board; Arts and Humanities Research Board; The Society of Antiquaries of London; and The Prehistoric Society.
A season of survey in 1998 established the location of Körös culture site, at Ecsegfalva, Co. Békés, where both archaeological remains and pollen-bearing sediments in an old meander were in close proximity. Three seasons of small-scale but detailed excavation followed, backed up by the lengthy process of analysis, interpretation and synthesis by an international team of specialists, leading to monograph publication in 2007.
This project is published (2007: see publications). Ongoing work in Hungary includes analysis of sites for the AHRC First Farmers project, and further radiocarbon dating of Early and Middle Neolithic sites, in collaboration with Hungarian colleagues
The project established a short-lived occupation in Ecsegfalva for 3–4 generations c. 5700 cal BC. The occupants lived in a mosaic environment, with open and wooded land around, perhaps prone to periodic flooding. They concentrated on cereal cultivation, perhaps in small plots, and on sheep husbandry, and made use of wild game, fish and other resources much more opportunistically. They appear to have moved around their landscapes, as well as being focused chosen places. Methods of working stone may suggest southern and local traditions, and hence perhaps different strands of early Neolithic populations.
Early Neolithic human assemblages from southern Britain: diversity and mortuary rites - Decades of excavation of early Neolithic long barrows and chambered tombs in southern Britain have produced a large assemblage of human remains, broadly dating to the fourth millennium cal BC. Reports on this material, however, have often been perfunctory, and little systematic synthesis has been carried out recently.
The project, carried out by Alasdair Whittle and Michael Wysocki (now of the University of Central Lancashire) aimed to begin to remedy this deficiency, by re-examining selected key assemblages, to establish trends in numbers, condition, age and sex representation, principal pathologies and activity markers, and diversity in mortuary rites. A further aim was to submit samples of precisely identified remains for radiocarbon dating. Key assemblages were examined in museums and archives by Michael Wysocki. Samples were obtained for radiocarbon dating from sites in southern England and south-east Wales.
Principal publication so far has been of radiocarbon results, modelled within a Bayesian statistical framework, for four long barrows in southern England, in cooperation with Alex Bayliss of English Heritage, which has led to date estimates of unparalleled precision for this kind of prehistory. Other important results are forthcoming for Coldrum in Kent, and for sites in south-east Wales. Important signs of considerable diversity among early Neolithic mortuary populations have been noted in interim papers and will be fully published in due course.

But in his ruling, Thomas said there was a clear prima facie case against both Bary and al-Fawwaz.
He also dismissed the medical argument put forward by Bary's lawyer against extradition, saying: "It is clear to us that there has been no material change in the psychological condition of Abdul Bary."
Lawyers for Ahmad and Ahsan presented what they said was fresh evidence to support their calls for the two men to be charged with similar terrorism-supporting offenses in Britain, rather than have them face trial in the United States.
The U.S. and British governments strongly contested the five suspects' submissions.
Lawyers for the British government described the arguments as an abuse of the legal process.
Al-Masri is one of the highest-profile radical Islamic figures in Britain, where he was already sentenced to seven years for inciting racial hatred at his north London mosque and other terrorism-related charges.
Born in Egypt in 1958, he traveled to Britain to study before gaining citizenship through marriage in the 1980s.
A one-time nightclub bouncer in London's Soho district, al-Masri -- also known as Mustafa Kamal Mustafa -- has said he lost both hands and one eye while fighting against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. He often wore a hook in place of one hand.
In 1997, al-Masri became the imam of a north London mosque, where his hate-filled speeches attacking the West began to attract national attention and followers, including Richard Reid, the so-called "shoe bomber" who attempted to blow up a Miami-bound passenger airplane three months after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Al-Masri has called the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center "a towering day in history" and described bin Laden as "a good guy and a hero."
He also described the Columbia space shuttle disaster in 2003 as "punishment from Allah" because the astronauts were Christian, Hindu and Jewish.
Al-Masri faces 11 charges in U.S. courts.
"As in the UK, legal counsel will be provided at the expense of the U.S. government if the defendants do not have the resources to pay themselves," a U.S. Embassy briefing note on the extradition said.
"The U.S.-UK Extradition Treaty also forbids use of the death penalty for anyone extradited from the UK."

Larger Than Life
Artist Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada used the smallest materials, grains of sand, to create Expectation, a gargantuan portrait of Barack Obama spanning 2.5 acres of beachfront in Barcelona. The president's likeness is imperceptible at human eye level, but from a bird's-eye view the picture comes alive. Sandpainting—especially at a gigantic scale—is a form of pointillism, the technique used by painters such as Georges Seurat, Paul Signac and Vincent van Gogh, in which the juxtaposition of multiple individual points creates patterns and shades of color that become apparent only from afar. The illusion works as long as the image of every element (dot of paint, grain of sand) on the retina is roughly equal to the size of a photoreceptor. Our retina sees the world as a field of photoreceptor points of light, whether they were drawn that way or not, which makes viewing distance critical to our perception of texture. The fine details of wood grain and other textures are visible only up close, when they fall directly on our fovea, the central region of each of our retinas where photoreceptor density is highest. Our photoreceptors are unable to resolve the subtle differences in color or shape of an object when we step away, so the coarser features of the image dominate our perception instead.
Children Crossing
One practical application of anamorphic perspective is roadway writing. The abnormally elongated shape of warnings such as "children crossing" allows drivers to read them easily as they approach the text. British Columbia–based safety-awareness group Preventable has pushed this concept to the limit, hoping to change drivers' attitudes in a guerrilla marketing campaign. The group's 45-foot illusion, which portrays a young girl chasing a ball across a busy intersection, stayed for a week near a school in West Vancouver. When drivers approached the image, the girl's shape started to form from about 50 feet away and remained three-dimensional for another 40 feet. You can see the video at www.preventable.ca/2010/09/shifting-attitudes-with-illusions.

New guidelines on screening and treatment for cervical cancer
For the first time WHO is issuing recommendations, based on the available evidence, on the use of a screen and treat approach using visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) for screening and treatment with cryotherapy, or when feasible HPV testing followed by treatment. These recommendations are published in the new WHO guidelines for screening and treatment of precancerous lesions for cervical cancer prevention.
International Day of the Girl Child
This year's international day of the girl child took as its theme "Innovating for girls' education". Providing education is one of the most effective strategies for improving the health of girls. Girls in education are less likely to be subjected to child marriage and early pregnancy. Additionally, access to education is one of the keys to positive development outcomes such as reductions in mortality, fertility and intergenerational poverty. Put simply, educated young women have smaller families and healthier children. Providing education on sexuality and reproductive health to boys and girls crucial for their future health.
Member States pledge to end sexual violence in conflict
WHO welcomes the Declaration of Commitment to End Sexual Violence in Conflict signed by 113 Member States attending the 68th UN General Assembly in New York. By signing the declaration, Member States pledged to end the use of rape and sexual violence as a weapon of war, which terrorizes communities during conflict and has very serious health consequences. The declaration sends an important message to the victims of these crimes that the international community has not forgotten them, and to the perpetrators of rape that they will be held to account.

First, there was the delay of Obamacare's Medicare cuts until after the election. Then there was the delay of the law's employer mandate. Then there was the announcement, buried in the Federal Register, that the administration would delay enforcement of a number of key eligibility requirements for the law's health insurance subsidies, relying on the "honor system" instead. Now comes word that another costly provision of the health law—its caps on out-of-pocket insurance costs—will be delayed for one more year.
According to the Congressional Research Service, as of November 2011, the Obama administration had missed as many as one-third of the deadlines, specified by law, under the Affordable Care Act. Here are the details on the latest one.
Obamacare contains a blizzard of mandates and regulations that will make health insurance more costly. One of the most significant is its caps on out-of-pocket insurance costs, such as co-pays and deductibles. Section 2707(b) of the Public Health Service Act, as added by Obamacare, requires that "a group health plan and a health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage may not establish lifetime limits on the dollar value of benefits for the any participant or beneficiary." Annual limits on cost-sharing are specified by Section 1302(c) of the Affordable Care Act; in addition, starting in 2014, deductibles are limited to $2,000 per year for individual plans, and $4,000 per year for family plans.
Out-of-pocket caps drive premiums upward
There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you ban lifetime limits, and mandate lower deductibles, and cap out-of-pocket costs, premiums have to go up to reflect these changes. And unlike a lot of the "rate shock" problems we've been discussing, these limits apply not only to individually-purchased health insurance, but also to employer-sponsored coverage. (Self-insured employers are exempted.)
These mandates have already had drastic effects on a number of colleges and universities, which offer inexpensive, defined-cap plans to their healthy, youthful students. Premiums at Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, N.C., for example, rose from $245 per student in 2011-2012 to between $2,507 in 2012-2013, forcing the school to drop its coverage requirements. The University of Puget Sound paid $165 per student in 2011-2012; their rates rose to between $1,500 and $2,000 for 2012-2013.
According to the law, the limits on out-of-pocket costs for 2014 were $6,350 for individual policies and $12,700 for family ones. But in February, the Department of Labor published a little-noticed rule delaying the cap until 2015. The delay was described yesterday by Robert Pear in the New York Times.
Delay needed to align 'separate computer systems'
Notes Pear, "Under the [one-year delay], many group health plans will be able to maintain separate out-of-pocket limits for benefits in 2014. As a result, a consumer may be required to pay $6,350 for doctors' services and hospital care, and an additional $6,350 for prescription drugs under a plan administered by a pharmacy benefit manager."
The reason for the delay? "Federal officials said that many insurers and employers needed more time to comply because they used separate companies to help administer major medical coverage and drug benefits, with separate limits on out-of-pocket costs. In many cases, the companies have separate computer systems that cannot communicate with one another."
The best part in Pear's story is when a "senior administration official" said that "we had to balance the interests of consumers with the concerns of health plan sponsors and carriers…They asked for more time to comply." Exactly how is it in consumers' interests to pay far more for health insurance than they do already?
It's not. Unless you have a serious, chronic condition, in which case you may benefit from the fact that law forces healthy people to subsidize your care. To progressives, this is the holy grail. But for economically rational individuals, it's yet another reason to drop out of the insurance market altogether. For economically rational businesses, it's a reason to self-insure, in order to get out from under these costly mandates.
While insurers and premium-payers will be happy with the delay—whose legal justification is dubious once again—there are groups that grumbled. Specifically, groups representing those with chronic diseases, and the pharmaceutical companies whose costly drugs they will use. "The American Cancer Society American Cancer Society shares the concern" about the delay, says Pear, "and noted that some new cancer drugs cost $100,000 a year or more." But a big part of the reason those drugs cost so much is because manufacturers know that government-run insurers will pay up.
"The promise of out-of-pocket limits was one of the main reasons we supported health reform," says Theodore M. Thompson of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society National Multiple Sclerosis Society. "We have wonderful new drugs, the biologics, to treat rheumatoid arthritis," said Patience H. White of the Arthritis Foundation. "But they are extremely expensive."
The progressive solution to expensive problems? More subsidies. But subsidies don't reduce the underlying cost of care. They only excuse the high prices that manufacturers and service providers already charge.
It's one of the many aspects of Obamacare that should be repealed, if we are to combat the rate shock that the health law imposes on tens of millions of Americans. But that will require Republicans to come up with a smarter strategy than shutting down the government.

Idealism rarely if ever translates to real life. Many idealists have a goal of Z and thing that step 1 is the first step, they fail to realize any further steps and just how bent out of shape things will get trying to reach their goal. Such is the case with Obamacare, the premise sounds good, but when you actually read the thing and apply what history and experience has time and time again proven to be the case it is a mess that only further burdens the health care industry and the people it serves and the only ones to gain are the insurance companies that wrote the thing to begin with. Unfortunately being able to read and comprehend something is getting to be a rare trait these days and the Liberal debauchery and ignorance is proof of that in spades.
Obamacare is based on lies, hypocrisy, and illegal activities. Here are 39 examples. http://danfromsquirrelhill.wordpress.com/2013/08/05/obamacare-2/
It's about time we get some truth about Obamacare, I'm tried of all the lies and promise's that does not come true.
Overturn it NOW, it's a failure and the people can not afford it, so stop forcing it on the people. This is not the USSR. Man up Obama and OVERTURN it now. JUST DO IT AMERICA CAN HANDLE IT.
Lie after lie and he knows he has NO CREDIBILITY any more, the old Opposite Psychology trick the left wing Dem's have been using for decades, to create more Social Compliancy on the American people. By using the left wing media for their propaganda to force their will on America, this is not the USSR and the American people better wake up use the gift god gave you, your brain, think very deeply and the truth is their, be informed.
This is what happens when a constitutional law professor gets involved with the insurance industry.
There's even more recent and shocking news: My purchasing of overblown insurance is going to be waived until at least 2016. I couldn't align my butt cheeks in time to receive the screwing Yobamacare wanted to give me.
This will end very messily. Personally, no one tells me I have to buy something, especially when they have heard input from that side but not mine. I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands of Americans who will be blowing this latest traitorous act off, and woe betide the gubmint if they come to our doors to get the money.
I'm with you! I'll be 62 in perfect health…Nobody tells me what to buy! If I need medical care, I'll pay cash or die! I don't believe in Medicaid (and, after all, it IS Medicaid) when I can have private care. And, furthermore, I'm not paying for ANYBODY but ME!
Just do away with it all together.
How are left wing libertards going to spin and lie about this now? Chris Matthews? Richard Maddow? Lawrence O'Donnell?
Democrats costing us more and more money, what a surprise
Wait until AFTER the elections, though. Odd how Obama has put many things off until after elections. I wonder why the $500+BILLION of previous Medicare cuts to "fully fund 1/3 of Obamacare", is never mentioned by Dems? Or the added taxes? What are they afraid of if this is such a great plan? Why are Dem Districts, muslims, & Congress getting waivers ? Why isn't Obama & his family running to the plan? What I see is a lot of "do as I say, not as I do".

"Great Breakfast"
Enjoyable stay but room in need of some minor repairs and new carpet. Would stay againUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Cramped room"
Hotel staff were excellent and always very helpful. Room was cramped with bed and creaky sofa bed. Stayed in other Holiday Inn Express hotels and have not experienced this before. Other than that we could not fault the hotelUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"great value"
very good clean hotel ,great valueUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
Pleasant hotel although breakfast very busy. Room ok apart from firmness of beds and pillows - not comfortable. We joined friends staying at a local B&B for breakfast and it was a sea of traquility and proper full scottish breakfast and cheaper.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"A little too far out of centre."
Basic, but adequate.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
Respon oleh Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Waterfront Dear JM, Thank you for reviewing your recent stay. Although we are located 2 miles form the city centre, there are very frequent public buses which run from just outside to the city centre and the journey time is approximately 20 minutes. We provide free parking for our guests, who are then able to leave their cars at the hotel and make use of the bus service thus avoiding the hassle of driving into the centre and then locating and paying for parking there. I hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you back to the hotel in the future. Kind regards, Andrew General Manager
"Good Position"
Very close to Britannia ship and good bus service to centre of townUlasan tetamu Expedia yang asli
"Great Location, Comfortable stay"
Nothing negative about the hotel. Few things I would like to highlight that the breakfast is not very lavish and the quality of fruits and croissants was also not very good. Staff is usually very friendly but in one instance while I was with my six yr old sitting in the looby in the evening and my son went to the Bar counter to ask for some water, the […] staff at the Bar started to tel him that the water in the cold tap of your room toilet can be used and then she pointed him towards the vending machine where my six yr old can buy water. I was surprised with this behaviour, but this could be individual attitude also. All in all god stay. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli

I'm delighted that you found our team to be friendly and our hotel to be clean and quiet. I'm glad that you found our location ideal for the local attractions such as the Royal Yacht Britannia and also convenient for access to the city centre through the use of the very frequent public bus service which runs form just outside the hotel entrance. I do hope that we may have the opportunity to welcome you back the our hotel the next time that you visit Edinburgh. Kind regards, Andrew General Manager

Respon oleh Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Waterfront Dear Gordon m, Many thanks for your review of your recent stay. During the Edinburgh Festival/Tattoo period demand for hotels rooms is very high and as such our room rates reflect this high demand. We offer very competitive rates throughout the year and I'm sure that should you wish to visit Edinburgh again in the future you will find some value for money rates available here. Kind regards, Andrew General Manager

Respon oleh Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Waterfront Dear Mike L, Thank you for your review of your recent stay. I'm delighted that you enjoyed our location and found our staff to be fantastic. Whilst we have refurbished our guest room corridors and public areas over the past couple of years, we do understand that work needs to be done on some of our bedrooms and this has been planned to happen before the end of this year. I hope that we are able to welcome you back to the hotel in the future. Kind regards, Andrew General Manager

Reasonable hotel at a convenient location if you are going into a cruise. Otherwise, a litle bit far from the city center.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Ok, great service from staff"
Stay was good, picked a lovely hot weekend in July! Room was as you would expect however my only let down was that there was there was no air circulation vent to rid the bathroom of steam and because the window backed on to a wall, which wasn't the best view, opening it which they do minimally for safety didn't help. On the first night I forgot to open […] the window but I've never found the need to in a Holiday Inn as they all have internal vents keeping the air comfortable, I woke up earlier than usual coughing and sneezing. I do have a sensitive respiratory system and had Iknown there was no vent I would have slept with the window open. The window was all steamed up in the morning from breathing the same air in the room. The next night was fine. There is a useful shopping center close by. I had my car so I got to the city center quite easily but quite far to walk it, however there is a useful bus stop right outside the hotel. Breakfast was as you would expect. The staff at this hotel are very friendly, approachable and helpful. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Not on the waterfront!"
We enjoyed out stay at this hotel. Again, the staff were friendly and helpful. There was large dining room and the breakfast was well-supplied and replenished. Our room was comfortable and on the ground floor which suited my wife. However, the hotel is NOT on the waterfront, it's a couple of blocks back, so don't expect to be able to see the Royal Yacht […] from it. There is a fairly new shopping mall just a few minutes away on the waterfront, with lots of eating places. And you can have dinner there and look out over Britannia.

Thoroughly enjoyed stay staff were friendly, polite and helpful at all times. Breakfast was good with no delays and particularly impressed with the regular checks carried out on hot food temperature.

"Good budget choice, easy bus ride to city centre."
Hotel is good value if booked in advance and very busy as a result. Buses every 10mins to city centre (bus stop right outside front of hotel). Modern feel hotel, decor ok, shower could've done with re-tiling, plenty of hot water, comfortable bed, decent lcd tv. Noisy neighbours!! Walls seemed paper-thin...breakfast is complimentary so difficult to complain […] about, it's all very basic/cheap ingredients (if you're expecting freshly squeezed orange juice, omellete chef etc, you're going to be very disappointed) the worst being the cooked part - a choice of 'bangers' technically illegal to describe as sausages, tasteless baked beans and scrambled egg of the reconstituted powdered variety (think wartime rationing nostalgia).

"Adequate Stay"
The room was really tidy. However, we booked a double room and was given two single beds pushed together to create a 'king' without suitable linen. The room was quite small but probably adequate for our stay as we were not there during the day. It was good that breakfast was available.Ulasan tetamu Expedia yang asli
"Best hotel in Edinburgh"
Where else would you find staff that would sharpen your eye liner, lend scissors for dress alterations, print flight tickets for free and above all rearrange rooms after we stuffed up our own booking dates. So very accommodating and friendly and I haven't even mentioned the breakfast is free. Highly recommend it to anyone. A big Aussie thumbs upUlasan tetamu Expedia yang asli

Seasonal Care
As we transition from one season to another, it's is a great time of the year to give your winter gear a tune-up before putting it away for the summer. You probably already know that we highly recommend cleaning your gear regularly in order to maintain its level of performance and extend its longevity – as we like to say, you take care of your gear and it'll take care of you.
For washing and drying, the suggested frequency is every ten to twelve days of use for pieces that you wear more frequently, and twenty to thirty days for those being used less often. And if you find that your garment is not shedding water as well as it used to, that's a good time to reapply the DWR (Durable Water Repellent).
Here's a helpful video that we've put together to walk you through the steps:
For all related information, you can visit the Product Care section of our site, and always feel free to post a question for us on Facebook or Twitter.

Q. Why shop at Sprouts Farmers Market?
A. Sprouts is different from other food stores. We are sort of a hybrid between a natural foods store, a farmers market and a conventional supermarket, and as such provide a low-pressure, easy-to-shop, highly affordable steppingstone to better eating. Our bright, beautiful stores offer a unique shopping experience for you to explore a great mix of everyday staples, specialty items and natural foods. Best of all, with our incredible bargains and overall low prices, you'll be able to fill your fridge without emptying your wallet.
Q. Is everything you carry natural or organic?
A. No. We have never believed in a one-size-fits-all approach, and have never wanted to preach or prescribe what you should buy. We offer lots of choices, and leave the selections up to you. We sell plenty of fresh produce, both conventional and organic. Nearly all of our Grocery Department items contain natural ingredients, and so do many of the other products in the store. But we do also carry some great-tasting items in other departments, such as the Bulk, Bakery and Deli Departments, that contain artificial ingredients. Our goal is always to offer great values and find the right balance between quality ingredients, flavor and price.
Q. Is Sprouts really a farmers market? Do you carry more than produce?
A. We are not a traditional farmers market. We are a supermarket that is inspired by farmers markets, and indeed trace our lineage back to a single fruit stand in San Diego. We are fully indoors, and are open 364 days a year. Inside, you'll find mountains of farm-fresh produce, but also thousands of pantry basics, baked goods, deli meats and cheeses, baby and pet foods, high quality all-natural meats and seafood, bins and barrels of bulk foods and so much more. We also offer thousands of gluten-free and alternative options for those with food sensitivities, plus an enormous selection of vitamins, supplements and natural body care products.
Q. Where is my nearest Sprouts store?
A. You can locate your nearest Sprouts store with our store finder; just enter your ZIP or city and state. There are now more than 165 Sprouts stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.
Q. What new locations will be opening in 2014?
A. We are continuing to spread our roots at a rapid pace! Click here to find new stores expected to open in 2014.
Deals and Coupons
Q. How can I get the best deals at Sprouts?
A. In addition to great prices every day, there are a dozen ways to save at Sprouts. Click here to learn how to save more in-store and online.
Q. What do you mean by "Double Ad Wednesday?"
A. Because our weekly ads run from Wednesday to Wednesday, it means that on each Wednesday, there are twice as many items on sale. Last week's sale items are in their final day, and this week's sale items are in their first day. This does not mean that the discounts are twice as high; merely that there are twice as many of them.
Q. How often do you run the Gluten-Free Jubilee and Vitamin Extravaganza sales?
A. Each of these sales offers 25 percent off in its respective category, and we hold them at somewhat irregular intervals, from one to four times a year. We do not announce the dates much in advance. Keep your eyes out in our weekly ads, on our sales page and on Facebook.
Q. Do you offer case discounts?
A. Yes. On most products, you will receive an automatic 10 percent discount when you purchase an entire case. This discount is not available during some of the larger promotions, such as the Gluten-Free Jubilee or Vitamin Extravaganza.
Q. How do I get coupons for products at Sprouts?
A. The best way is to sign up for our mailing list. We negotiate a series of great coupons with our vendor partners, and send these out primarily through our monthly In a Nutshell e-newsletter. You can sign up for the newsletter here. Also, additional monthly electronic coupons are available for download on sprouts.com.
Q. Do you accept electronic coupons? Do I have to print out your e-newsletter coupons or can I just show it to the cashier on my smart phone?
A. We agree that being able to scan our coupons from a mobile device would be ideal, but unfortunately, our registers currently cannot scan the barcode that is required to activate the discount. We are already working toward becoming more digital. Until then, the coupons must be printed and handed to the cashier at the time of purchase.
Q. How is Sprouts able to keep its fresh produce prices so low?
A. First, our high sales volume. We are larger than many independent stores, and we sell a higher percentage of produce than most larger chain stores. We sell more, waste less, and that helps keeps prices low. Second, our deep roots in the produce business, dating back decades in many cases, enable us to secure great deals from farmers and brokers. Third, because we are a farmers market store, we focus on produce, and are willing to accept lower profit margins on fruits and vegetables than most other stores.
Q. What does "local" mean to Sprouts Farmers Market?
A. "Local food" commonly refers to food produced near the consumer. However, because the definition of "local" is still vague, retailers and consumers are left to decide what local food means to them. At Sprouts, we describe "local" as "made or produced in my state." The ability to eat "locally" also varies depending on the region's production capacity: people living in areas that are agriculturally productive year-round may have an easier time sourcing food that is grown in their state than those in arid or colder regions.
For example, much of the produce sold in our California stores are locally grown during the spring and summer. But because small farms do not have the economies of scale and ability to deliver direct, they sell their produce to larger co-ops and brokers who may ship it to Sacramento or Los Angeles before it gets shipped to Sprouts. While Sprouts supports locally-grown produce, our primary focus is getting the freshest, best value fruits and vegetables to your store as quickly as possible.
And while freshness is more likely if food isn't trucked so far, food safety experts say there's no evidence that locally-grown products are safer, especially because small producers often lack the food safety audits more common among big producers.
Our goal is always to offer great value and strike the right balance between quality, flavor and price. But most importantly, your safety is our priority.
Q. What makes Sprouts meat of such high quality?
A. It's the combination of quality sourcing, product variety, old world butcher's handiwork, and outstanding value pricing. Most conventional supermarkets cut corners in one of these areas, but not Sprouts. We run our Meat Department the same way they used to in the old days – because we know how good it can be when things are done right. Besides, we shop here, too!
We use USDA Choice Natural Beef, because it's more flavorful than the "unnatural" choice and "Select" grade found in so many other stores. To qualify as an Oldtyme Beef supplier, ranches must meet Sprouts natural standards before being considered – with sound animal husbandry techniques, corn-and-grain diets that are tested for pesticide residues and a strict antibiotic and hormone withdrawal program for a minimum of 100 days.
All beef is "wet-aged" a minimum of 14 days to optimize juiciness and tenderness. Our meat is prepared by trained butchers in every store to our exacting specifications, using exclusive Sprouts cutting techniques to "read the grain" and produce the perfect cut.
Q. Do you carry organic meat?
A. Yes. The organic label is still fairly new to meat (it was authorized by the USDA in 2002), but there are several outstanding companies offering organic cuts of meat, such as Sommers Organic Beef and Rosie Organic Chicken, and you will find those at Sprouts.
Q. Why is Sprouts organic beef from Uruguay instead of from the U.S.?
A. Our phenomenal, fresh, grass-fed Sommers Organic Beef is the most flavorful we have ever tried – and we have done a lot of blind taste tests! It comes from cattle raised in Uruguay, the #1 choice for "those in the know" at top U.S. supermarkets. Why Uruguay? There are not nearly enough domestic sources to keep up with demand for organic beef. Uruguay is easily the top supplier of grass-fed organic beef in the U.S., because of their long tradition with livestock and standards that most experts feel are higher than those in the U.S. (Note: Since Uruguay has summer and spring year-round, it is grass fed without the need for any feed to substantiate their diet.) All of our Uruguayan organic beef complies with USDA rules for handling, feeding, processing and testing – and is in fact certified by the highly respected independent Oregon Tilth.
Q. Why do you pre-slice your Deli meats? Wouldn't it be fresher to cut them on request, the way a lot of other supermarkets do?
A. We have different Deli meat programs in different stores. Some of the stores have the Boar's Head program, which does include slice-to-order meats. But in general, we believe that pre-sliced meats – we slice them every morning – are an excellent choice. That's because, instead of taking, say, a turkey breast out of the refrigerator 20 times a day, whenever a customer requests it, we only take it out once. We slice it all and then seal it immediately, so it is moist and fresh and does not dry out. Moreover, by pre-slicing, we are able to dedicate one slicer to one kind of meat, avoid any cross-contamination issues and reduce the amount of time needed to clean the equipment.
Q. What do you mean by "bulk-cut" cheese?
A. To optimize value, we buy many cheeses in large wheels or blocks, and then cut them down into smaller blocks in store. In contrast, many other supermarkets sell cheese that has been sliced and cut elsewhere, meaning it is older and has had more opportunity to dry out.
Bulk Items
Q. How do I find out how to prepare a bulk item I've purchased?
A. Bulk items' preparation instructions and nutrition information are available online in our Bulk Nutritional Information section.
Q. How do I know which vitamins or supplements to choose?
A. It certainly can be daunting, especially if you are on prescription medications and/or have not been on a supplement plan before. We feature more than 9,000 items in our department, but there are resources there to assist you. First and foremost: our staff. They are well trained, and will be happy to help you by asking the right questions and guiding you in the direction of products or resources that can assist you. In particular, ask about our Essential 4 program. Also, every one of our Vitamin Departments has a computer with software on which you (or our staff) can look up additional product information, possible interactions with prescription meds, and more.
Product Inquiry
Q. How do I find out about a product and whether Sprouts carries it?
A. We don't yet have an online product list, but we are working on it! For now, please call your local Sprouts store for the most up-to-date information on whether an item is in-stock, available for special order, as well as other product-related information. Select your store to find contact information.
Q. How do I recommend or special-order a product?

We are also delighted to fulfill your special order whenever we can. Just ask the appropriate department manager in your local store either to recommend or to special-order a product.
Q. How do I request a new Sprouts location near me?
A. Sprouts is growing rapidly, and we are opening 20 new stores in 2013. We welcome new store location requests but because of the volume we receive, we cannot respond individually. Store location decisions are made based on a complicated formula that includes location, parking, competition, proximity to existing stores, transportation connectivity to other retail areas, retail synergies within a shopping center, location relative to distribution routes, incentives provided by states/municipalities/landlords and of course, cost. It typically takes two to four years between the identification of a site and the store opening. To suggest a location, please contact us; your interest is greatly appreciated.
Q. How do I submit a compliment or other feedback about my experience at Sprouts?
A. We welcome your feedback, and we take all customer input seriously. Please use contact us, and select the Comment option.

Maine Media
'Tis the Season for Puff Pieces
Submitted by Al Diamon on Mon, 12/28/2009 - 2:46pm.Tough talk, soft serves: In an editorial published on Dec. 28, the Portland Press Herald takes the multitude of candidates for governor to task for criticizing incumbent Democratic Gov. John Baldacci without revealing how they would have dealt with the budget crises that have dominated most of his two terms in office.
"Candidates need to say how they would restructure government if elected," the sub-headline reads.
Maine Media's Budget Coverage Lacks Insight
Submitted by Al Diamon on Mon, 12/21/2009 - 12:28pm.Fiscal drivel: In my other job as a political columnist, I often run into people of various partisan persuasions who think they know how to solve the state's ongoing budget problems.
"Just cut the size of the Legislature," the more conservative of them tell me, "and get those lazy cheaters off welfare."
Those of a leftist bent always suggest, "Cut the size of the Legislature, and end corporate welfare."
MaineToday Responds to Reporter's Firing
Submitted by Al Diamon on Wed, 12/16/2009 - 12:21pm.MaineToday Media, owner of the Morning Sentinel and other newspapers in the state, issued a statement on Dec. 15 on the firing in November of Sentinel reporter Larry Grard.
Here is the statement, unedited and presented in its entirety exactly as it was received:
Overlooking 30 Lost Jobs in Augusta
Submitted by Al Diamon on Tue, 12/15/2009 - 3:05pm.Misprint: The MaineToday Media newspapers did a better job covering this week's changeover of the printing of the Kennebec Journal from Augusta to MTM's South Portland plant than they did reporting on a similar move by the Morning Sentinel last week.
Better, but not good.
MaineToday Papers Ignore Reporter's Story
Submitted by Al Diamon on Fri, 12/11/2009 - 1:33pm.Firing? What firing? The dismissal of Larry Grard, the Morning Sentinel reporter allegedly dismissed for sending an angry e-mail to a Washington, D.C.,-based gay rights group, has gotten extensive play at national media outlets from USA Today to Fox News.
Maine Reporter's Firing Prompts Local, National Reactions
Submitted by Al Diamon on Wed, 12/09/2009 - 10:10am.Questions, denials, reactions: The case of Larry Grard, the reporter for the Morning Sentinel in Waterville who was fired last month, allegedly for sending an anti-same-sex-marriage e-mail to a gay rights group, has attracted national attention, mostly from conservative online news services.
Maine Reporter: I Was Fired Over Anti-Same-Sex Marriage E-mail
Submitted by Al Diamon on Mon, 12/07/2009 - 12:34pm.Larry Grard admits he had "a lapse in judgment." But Grard – who's been a reporter for thirty-five years, the last eighteen of them at the Morning Sentinel in Waterville – says the e-mail he sent from his personal account to a national gay rights group shouldn't have been grounds for his dismissal.
Maine Editorial Writers Are An Endangered Species
Submitted by Al Diamon on Wed, 12/02/2009 - 1:43pm.Six months ago, the Kennebec Journal/Morning Sentinel editorial pages were filled with a feisty mixture of local opinions from a variety of sources, produced and/or assembled by Naomi Schalit.
How to Pay More for the Same Maine News
Submitted by Al Diamon on Mon, 11/30/2009 - 1:07pm.Price gouging: Give the Bangor Daily News credit for the originality of its greediness.
On Nov. 26, the paper ran a small announcement on its front page explaining that it was hiking its newsstand price for that day from the usual seventy-five cents to two dollars. The reason:
"Packed with news, advertising, inserts and fliers, the Thanksgiving Day issue of the Bangor Daily News has similar production and distribution costs to our weekend paper, and it now will carry the same price."

text: I'm gone. I'm sorry, but I can't handle this anymore. I may come back during holidays. I may not. Currently, I'm only sure about one thing: I need to focus on get a life. I have many books I want to read, many movies I want to watch. School is getting harder and harder. And, to be honest, I'm not going through the best moment in my life. Anyway, you all need to know that the months I'd spent here have been the best months of my entire life. I met awesome people here who I will never forget. So I want to thank all of you. As I have already said, I may come back. Until then, I leave my ask box if any of you want to talk with me. I'll try to check it at least once a month. Well, that's all for now. Again, thank you. Goodbye tumblr.

Representatives from Westfield Health joined transplant athletes from across Northern Ireland for an inspirational celebration marking the countdown to this year's British Transplant Games to be held in Belfast this August.
Paul Shires of Westfield Health says, "The games are truly inspirational and provide a real showcase of the benefits of organ donation, proving that people can lead a normal and active life again after transplantation. Three people die every day whilst waiting for a transplant, and we should all do whatever we can to prevent this from happening. What more of an incentive do we need to join the NHS Organ Donor Register?"

The US Department of Education has created a plan to more accurately report measures student success in postsecondary education. The current law only requires institutions to report the graduation rates of full-time, first time students. This leaves out a large number of part-time students and students who have previously attended postsecondary school.
According to Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, "Not all students take a linear path in their pursuit of higher education. Many students work full-time and are balancing family obligations while also attending school. These new outcome measures will accurately demonstrate how postsecondary schools are preparing students for success in different ways."
The plan, entitled "Action Plan for Improving Measures of Postsecondary Success," is in response to a report by the Committee on Measures of Student Success who help two-year degree granting institutions comply with the law's disclosure requirements and help to develop alternate measures of student success that are comparable to completion and graduation rates. The action plan is designed to improve the quality and availability of student success data at the federal level for consumers, institutions, policymakers, and researchers. The plan also includes activities and some funding opportunities to help schools and states strengthen their capacity to collect and disseminate quality data.
The following activities will be implemented in the plan:
The Department of Education also recommends that these broader measures of student success be implemented in four year institutions as well. Duncan is in agreement: "Better data across institutions is the basis for finding sound solutions to help students stay in school and complete their postsecondary studies. It is critical to their success and our nation's economic prosperity."
Jen Donovan is the strategic communications intern at the International Reading Association.

In February 2007, the Trustees mandated that smoking and the sale of tobacco products would be prohibited on all university property no later than January 1, 2008.
Indiana University is concerned about the toll that smoking and tobacco use has on the health and well-being of the university community. As a public institution of higher education with units that research and treat the effects of smoking and tobacco use, IU believes it has an obligation to exercise leadership by promoting a healthy, smoke-free environment for its students, employees, and visitors.
Since January 1, 2008, all IU campuses have had an individually tailored policy that provides for a smoke- or tobacco-free campus.
Civility and respect are expected by all members of the university community in regards to this mandate.

Whether you're located in an area with a high crime rate or settled in a quiet, friendly neighborhood, you've seen surveillance systems in use. The systems have come a long way from your closed-circuit video recordings that would run on an unending loop, turning all footage into a fuzzy display of shadows. Despite what CSI … Read More
