The Grammy Awards are extending the number of nominees in its top categories from five to eight. (Photo by Matt Sayles/Invision/AP, File) NEW YORK, N.Y. – The Grammy Awards are extending the number of nominees in its top categories from five to eight.The Recording Academy told its members in a letter released Tuesday that the nominee increase "will better reflect the large number of entries in these categories and allow voters greater flexibility when selecting this year's best recordings."Album of the year, song of the year, record of the year and best new artist are the categories that will be affected. The change comes months after the Grammys were criticized for the lack of women nominees at this year's awards show.For years, the organization has been called out for the lack of diversity when it comes to winners in the top four categories, where awards tend to go to acts in the pop, rock or country music genres, instead of hip-hop or R&B stars, even in years where Kanye West, Eminem and Mariah Carey were predicted to win.Another change at the organization is with Neil Portnow, the president and CEO of The Recording Academy, who will step down next year. Portnow, who has led the academy since 2002, was criticized at this year's Grammys when he said women need to "step up" when asked about the lack of female winners backstage. Only two female performers won awards during the live telecast.Bruno Mars won album, song and record of the year at this year's show, while Alessia Cara was named best new artist.Voting for the 2019 Grammys will take place in the fall and will include songs and albums released between Oct. 1, 2017 and Sept. 30, 2018.

On December 23, Lakeview Homecare & Hospice received two crates of Amy's Blend coffee. The coffee was donated by Caribou Coffee in Stillwater, as well as community members who bought and donated packages of the blend in memory or support of those facing cancer.
"Our clinicians are taking these to patients and families on their visits," said Bre DeCorsey, Community Relations for Lakeview Homecare & Hospice. "These donations are sure to bring a smile to those who are facing a hard time."
Caribou Coffee in Stillwater participates in the Amy's Blend Program, a company-wide program in its 19th consecutive year. The program was started in memory of a Caribou employee who lost her battle with cancer in 1995.

Situated in the southwestern corner of the Kruger National Park, South Africa's Sabi Sands Game Reserve is the oldest private game reserve in South Africa.
Stretching for over 650 square kilometres, the Sabi Sands Game Reserve is an excellent Big Five safari destination — and is also home to over 300 bird species.
If you're planning a South African safari, here are 10 reasons why you need to visit the Sabi Sands Game Reserve:
White rhinos are quite easy to approach and get close to as they are much more mellow than black rhinos. You can tell this is a white rhino from their lip shape, which is flat and square. They primarily eat grass and their flat lips acts act like a lawnmower and helps them grab onto the short grass. In an effort to help protect them from poachers, some places in Africa are cutting off their horns and some places are even lacing their horns with cyanide to make them worthless to poachers. It is so incredibly sad how rare these amazing creatures are now and their rarity is actually compounding the problem because the rarer they are, the more valuable their horns become. Ounce per ounce, rhino horns are worth more than gold on the black market. Asian countries like China and especially Vietnam still believe that rhino horns have medicinal qualities and with the rise of the uber rich in those countries, rhino horns are more in demand than ever. Science has proven that rhino horns are composed of keratin, the protein that makes up hair and fingernails but that hasn't stopped their desirability in traditional medicine and their status as the ultimate luxury item due to their rarity. So as the conservation ad campaign goes, lets chew our own hair and nails and save the rhinos.

Details are emerging from the Montana plane crash that killed 14 on Sunday: Investigators suspect that ice buildup on the wings was a factor, just as it was in the crash in Buffalo last month that killed 50. However, the plane had neither a voice recorder nor flight data to confirm the suspicion. Also, the plane was carrying more passengers than it was licensed for, although, since many of the passengers were children ages one to nine, the extra weight may not have been a factor. "Lap children can be allowed on an aircraft up to the age of two," said the chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board. "We can't tell you if in fact they were sitting on the laps or not."

I think Monkshood is growing in my lawn and very close to my well, which is the sole source of water to the house for consumption, cooking, washing etc. Assuming I should get rid of the Monkshood, how should this be done? At the moment it is covering about 20m+ of the garden and the plants are about 18cms high. Many thanks
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
If you pursue the removal of monkshood from your lawn, be aware that all parts of the plants are poisonous and you will want to prevent contact with your skin - so be sure to wear gloves. I would recommend digging it up versus pulling it out. Try to get as much of the roots as possible - you should not have to dig too deep because it is not deeply rooted.

T's count it two so far; he has to run into town for more tags tomorrow before going back out (and by "town", I mean the stop-sign-on-the-highway near the farm). No buck yet.I just had the baby this weekend, so Little Sis and I (her kids were with their father) went to a couple of the churches that were having bazaars yesterday. I didn't get anything, but it was fun to wander around. And the baby batted his eyes and showed his dimples so much, it wore him out.

Edmonton Kitchen Renovations
Professional Kitchen Renovations – Edmonton & Area
Welcome to Independent. Locally owned and operated, we provide quality kitchen renovations in Edmonton and surrounding areas. We started our business with one simple idea: to build long term relationships with customers by providing excellent products and services.
That idea has worked, and for over 30 years, we have built a growing and loyal customer base. Today, approximately 80% of our jobs come from repeat customers and their friends and family they refer. Thank-you Edmonton!
We believe a well-built, well-designed space speaks for itself. Our strength is making renovations easy by eliminating the guesswork. Our customers appreciate the simplicity we offer where everything they need can be picked under one roof and installed by our very own in-house trades.
We ensure long-lasting solutions by sourcing products we trust and by fabricating cabinetry in our own cabinet shop.

Our Process
Kitchens are the heart of the home and this universal passion is shared by Independent. Our design team aims to help bring your vision to life. We follow a simple, well laid out quoting and renovation process to make it easy:
We begin with a showroom consultation to assess the customer's wish list and scope of work. Whatever your needs, a showroom consult is a time to discover the broad strokes, enabling us to assign proper budgets into your quote. In this way, we can respect your time investment in building a plan together.
Site Assessment
With your wish list in hand, a site assessment is conducted to measure and assess. Nothing is left to chance so that the best solutions are brought forward with your budget in mind. We are often told by customers, the best investment they made in terms of planning was to involve us early.
Planning & Quoting
Our designers will map out cabinetry, ensuring ease of use, and proper flow in the room. All components and labour are compiled and made ready to present. This is the customer's first look to assess budget; allowing an opportunity to adjust their options. Once changes are made and we determine we are proceeding together, design selections are scheduled. This is where the magic takes place!
More Information: How much does kitchen renovation cost in Edmonton?
Independent can accommodate a wide variety of styles including: modern, classic, contemporary and transitional. We assist in our showroom's design gallery where customers choose custom cabinetry in stained hardwoods, and durable thermofoils, countertops from non-porous quartz and laminate options, flooring and backsplash choices from top rated manufacturers, colour palette and a host of other details.
When completed, all materials are ordered and the cabinets are fabricated. We receive everything needed prior to starting your job by design. In this way, the time we spend renovating in your home is efficient.
Installation and Completion
When we begin the job, customers are often amazed at the care we take in their home. Flooring is covered and protected, dust extractors used during the demo, scheduling is professionally managed, and the trades shine with expertise, pride, and craftsmanship.
The elements come together, providing you and your home with the results you have been waiting for.
Our goal is to enhance your lifestyle by creating a space the chef(s) in your home will appreciate and your family and friends will enjoy for many years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have in-house kitchen designers?
Yes! We have been designing Edmonton's dreams for over 30 years! We design kitchens based on cabinetry layout and flow and provide complete colour selections for countertops and tile selections from our in-house design gallery. We bring to the table great ideas and design choices that will bring your vision to life!
How long will a kitchen renovation take?
Job lengths vary due to size and scope however these timelines come into play: customers can expect about a month to quote a design a room including site measures and showroom viewings. Once jobs are signed and ordered, allow 6 to 8 to until job start which fluctuates throughout the year. Installation times will vary but average 4 to 6 weeks depending on complexity. More accurate time estimates can be given once a project has been assessed.
Is cabinet refacing a good idea?
Yes! (where appropriate). It depends as there are a number of factors that influence whether refacing is a good investment or if cabinets should be replaced. Companies that only do reface will always say refacing is the right way to go as it is their only option. We are happy to assess if this option makes sense for your kitchen.
Will contractors install product purchased elsewhere?
Our policy is to install what we supply (with some exceptions). By procuring or fabricating products we trust, we have control over quality. By procuring products that we can count on means the customer is not left guessing what will work and what will not. This ensures we can offer great warranties!
Are your kitchen renovation quotes free?
The short answer is no. The longer answer speaks to value as "free" can be a costly proposition down the road. Competitors estimating at no charge tend to minimize their time by using square footage averages. Rather than giving an estimate, we build contract ready quotes. Quality quotes and layouts take time, add value, protect customers and keep everyone happy! Our quote fees are modest and refunded back to the project if it proceeds (some exceptions apply).
What do kitchen renovations cost in Edmonton?
Kitchen renovations in Edmonton using mid-range materials (for longevity) and qualified trades will range from $40,000 to $100,000 and up. If partials are being undertaken by then the budget may be lower. Factors that would take budgets up would include job scope, materials specified and upgrades. The scope of work could mean increasing the size of the room or changing the layout of the room. An upgrade could be adding heated tile floors, premium countertops, cabinet organizers and specialty fixtures. Appliances are also a budget consideration.
Do you do partial renovations?
Yes! Our trades can accommodate partials renovations all the way up to home additions!
Are your trades qualified?
Yes! Qualified and in-house!
Are you insured?
Yes. Bonded and insured.
Do you provide references?
Yes! Also, check out our online ratings. We maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
The greatest compliment we receive is how easy and seamless it was to work with us. We truly love it when the next call we get is from your friends and neighbours. Our customers expect a high value with low stress. We deliver by using a process our qualified team has developed over the past 30 years. Your home is an investment and a very personal one that we take seriously and with great pride in what we do.
Thank you for considering Independent for your next project!

Your smartphone could literally be a pain in the neck
Every sms that we send or receive puts an added strain on our necks, say experts
A new study published in PLOS One reveals that prolonged cellphone use, and in particular text messaging, can cause neck pain and have an impact on soft tissue that surrounds the spine.
When we receive text messages, we bend our necks to read and respond to them. This movement, which some users repeat up to several hundred times a day, can be damaging to physical health.
Researchers at the University of Khon Kaen in Thailand aiming to explain the cause of a syndrome known as "text neck" have highlighted the risks associated with this type of posture.
The team at Khon Kaen filmed 30 smartphone users aged between 18 and 25, who spent up to eight hours a day on their phones. Their ergonomic risk levels were evaluated with a Rapid Upper Limb Assessment tool (RULA), which is often used to analyse the posture of desktop and portable computer users.
Participants in the study had an average score of 6 points, well in excess of an acceptable score of one or two points. "The results identified issues with unsuitable neck, trunk and leg postures which lead to musculoskeletal disorders," points out lead researcher Suwalee Namwongsa.
"Smartphone users typically bend their necks slightly forward when reading and writing text messages. They also sometimes bend or twist their necks sideways and put their upper body and legs in awkward positions," explains physiotherapist Dr. Boucaut, who also worked on the study. "These postures put uneven pressure on the soft tissues around the spine that can lead to discomfort."
These latest findings come hot on the heels of another study by the same research team, which has also been published this month in the journal Work. When questioned, a panel of 779 smartphone-using students admitted to experiencing aches and pains: 32% complained of neck pain, 26% had sore shoulders, 20% were bothered by their backs, and 19% by their wrists and hands.
Musculoskeletal disorders were more prevalent among students who spent the most time on their smartphones (more than five hours a day), and among those who smoked and did not exercise.

Manufacturing Productivity Requires Continuity and Reliable Tech Support
Tech and IT support for manufacturing businesses require speed and reliability. Global IT provides lightning-fast internet, reliable managed IT, and 24/7 tech support. We understand manufacturing and distribution organizations require dependable, fast, highly dependable IT infrastructures. For instance, this includes networks and technical teams to support round the clock activity. Rest assured Global IT is overseeing IT infrastructures 24 HRS each day and 7 days a week. Global IT supplies ongoing managed and un-managed IT solutions to create more uptime. The Global IT systems and experienced technicians proactively monitor client IT infrastructures. This alerts us to troublesome issues before they happen. In more cases than not, Global IT resolves problems before clients become aware that downtime even occurred.
Manufacturing and Distribution businesses often operate outside of the regular 9 to 5 hours. Global IT certified technicians are available 24 hours a day seven days a week. Global IT has a lot of experience serving the many manufacturing companies in business-friendly cities near Whittier such as Santa Fe Springs, City of Industry, and the City of Commerce.

Manufacturers Around Los Angeles Rely on Global IT for Great Tech Support
Global IT Is the Best IT Service Provider
The Owner of XDK Industries, Inc. in Freemont, California hit a wall with slow tech support. Other, smaller providers were not able to solve their IT manufacturing problems fast enough. These delays resulted in inefficient operations and they were leaving money on the table… and any business, where money is being left on the table, will annoy anyone. Eventually, XDK Industries, Inc. decided to go with a larger IT company with more resources, a highly responsive, and dependable team at Global IT.

In the worlds of still and moving images and audio, there are many differing media file formats, types and qualities. There are also a wide variety of playback systems and devices. These can be divided into two primary categories; 1) File formats, systems and devices that handle high quality, large file size media (often uncompressed), and 2) File formats, systems and devices that can only handle a restrictive size and quality of media (usually compressed).
For example, an audio CD can contain approx 72 minutes of uncompressed hi-quality stereo sound and any CD player or computer system can replay it, but because of speed limitations, CD quality audio is normally converted into the lower quality and smaller file size MP3 format before it is delivered over the internet.
Another example is a DVD video disc which usually contains compressed quality pictures and sound and requires specialist compression software (and often hardware) to replay.
Optimising is the process of preparing a source/"raw" media file (typically video or audio) for playback on a target system, and usually involves converting it into a smaller (and usually lower quality) format. Optimising is normally required for 2 primary reasons ...
The process of optimising is often called ...
Incidentally, the process of uncompressing a file for playback can be called ...
Transcoding is the digital to digital conversion of one file format to another without involving an optimising (compression etc) process. Transcoding is often carried out in order to convert a file from an obsolete format to a current one. Transcoding may incur a quality loss.
"Codec" is short for compression-decompression algorithm. It is a piece of software which is employed to compress (reduce in size) a media file (most commonly video, audio or animation) and then at a later time decompress it to allow it to be played or viewed. This process is useful for 2 primary reasons ...
The term "codec" is usually used in reference to audio and video media files, but still-image compression methodologies, such as jpeg, can also be called codecs.
A codec may be lossy or lossless.
A "hard(ware) codec" is integrated into the electronics of a hardware processor/device such as a DVD player, camcorder, MP3 player or video capture card.
A "soft(ware) codec" is usually installed onto a computing system (usually into the operating system folder) and runs on the computers CPU. For example, QuickTime mostly comprises a collection of soft codecs which run on a PCs CPU and which can be employed by any application to decompress, edit and replay files. Applications which employ soft codecs include, browsers, video editing, and music making applications.
There are many many codecs out there and new and improved ones are being developed all the time. Examples codecs include ...
The info dialogue box showing the compression codecs, settings, data
rate/size etc for a Hollywood film QuickTime video clip trailer.
The distinction between file formats and codecs can be tricky to understand. We have already established what a codec is.
File formats are usually associated with Media Player Software such as QuickTime, DivX or Windows Media Player. Media Player software usually comprises 3 elements ...
For example, if you have a media file with the .mov extension, then it has been compressed with a codec that QuickTime has, and saved in the QuickTime file format. The same applies for Windows Media with its .wmv file format. The .avi file format is the old Windows format.
If a file has been saved in a proprietary media player file format it can only be played by that media player. It is not always apparent from the file format which codec is being used, only that it can replayed by a particular media player or plug-in.
If you encounter a video file with the .wmv (Windows Media) or .mov (QuickTime) extension you won't necessarily know what codec its been compressed with but you will know (version permitting) which player software can replay it.
Open the file in the player and choose the option to look at information about the file.

A talented young chef from Clarkston was among the cream of the crop at one of the hospitality industry's most prestigious competitions.
Nicolle Finnie, who recently gained an HND Professional Cookery qualification from City of Glasgow College and is now undertaking a degree in Hospitality Management, was a finalist at Young Chef of the Year competition, which was held at the Restaurant Show in London's Olympia last week [Tuesday 4 October].
The former Wiliamwood High School pupil, who spent her summer honing her craft backstage at a number of prestigious events including The Open at Royal Troon and The Chelsea Flower Show, was given two hours to produce a three-course meal for two in front of a panel of high-profile judges and a live audience.
Nineteen-year-old Nicolle, who studies at the brand-new City Campus that forms the final instalment of City of Glasgow College's £228million supercampus development, said: "I found out that I'd been selected as a finalist after winning a gold medal at The Skills Show in Birmingham last year. I've entered lots of competitions before, but I usually put myself forward for them and so it was an honour to be asked to take part.
"I've been spending any spare time I have practising at City of Glasgow College and at The Larder, the restaurant I work at in Bearsden. Regardless of the outcome, it's a great achievement for me to have been shortlisted and it will be a great learning and training opportunity for me.
"The competition was an amazing experience and a fantastic opportunity. Although I didn't win this year, the experience of coping under pressure will help prepare me for future competitions. I was pleased with what I produced and would love to compete again – and win – next year."
The Young National Chef of the Year competition is an annual contest run by The Craft Guild of Chefs and aims to recognise and reward the most talented up-and-coming chefs in the UK.
Gary Maclean, Senior Chef Lecturer at City of Glasgow College, said: "Nicolle hasn't even finished her studies, yet she has already made a name for herself in the industry by competing in so many high-profile competitions. To be a finalist in The Craft Guild of Chef's Young Chef of the Year competition was an amazing experience for Nicolle and she will gain much from having taken part."

Our initial plan was to visit at Knuckles peaks from Bambaralla and this was a suddenly planned trip due to misty covering of Knuckles peaks. Although we expected to have energetic waterfalls due to monsoon rain it didn't happen.
Following waterfalls were captured during this one day visit.
(Order from Waththegama to Bambaralla)
- Rahas Ella
- Huluganga waterfall
- Thaliya Watuna Ella
- Kosgama Ella
- Lebanon Estate waterfall 1
- Lebanon Estate waterfall 2
- Sari Ella
- Jodu Ella
Kosgama Ella and Lebanon Estate Waterfalls are not named by locals. For our convenience I named them.

Washington: Applications for the most sought after H-1B work visa used extensively by Indian IT professionals for the fiscal beginning October 1, would be accepted beginning April 2, a federal immigration agency announced.
The congressionally mandated numerical limitation on H-1B petitions for the fiscal year 2012-13 is 65,000, as has been in the previous years.
Additionally, the first 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of individuals who have earned a US masters degree or higher are exempt from the fiscal year cap.
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said H1B applications will be considered accepted on the date it takes possession of a properly filed petition with correct fee and not the date on which it was sent.
"If the number of applications received exceeds the numerical cap, USCIS will randomly select the number of petitions required to reach the numerical limit from the pool of petitions received on the final receipt date," USCIS said in a statement, adding that it will reject cap-subject petitions that are not selected, as well as those received after the final receipt date.
Petitions for new H-1B employment are exempt from the annual cap if the beneficiaries will work at institutions of higher education or related or affiliated non-profit entities, non-profit research organisations or governmental research organisations, USCIS said.

For cinematographer Sami Ansari, the love for storytelling through film dates back to one of his earliest childhood memories. At the influential age of 5 years old, Ansari's grandfather gifted him with a few vintage, old film cameras.
"I used to run around with those things and like wind them up and just shoot stuff without even having film in there," said Ansari.
His love for film didn't stop with make-believe productions in the backyard. As a teenager, Ansari was an action sports lover and amateur skateboarder — and his filming was highly influenced by reality shows, like Jackass, where a group of friends joked around, performed outlandish stunts and were sometimes seriously injured, all while being filmed.
"Back when I was doing it, there wasn't YouTube or really any outlet or distribution for that stuff," Ansari said. "You just did it because you loved doing it."
As he grew older, Ansari's film style matured with him. In college, he began taking film classes and experimented with shooting and exposing 16-millimeter film. He'd take his camera up to the mountains on the weekend and shoot snowboarders with real motion picture film.
"That stuff just looks gorgeous," Ansari said. "It's like slow motion and it looks like a documentary — like old National Geographic film. It's just beautiful and romantic."
Shortly after entering a love affair with 16-millimeter film, Ansari realized he wanted to give his passion a real go at things and pursued film at the Academy of Art in San Francisco.
Fast forward to post-graduation from AAU in the early 2000s. Ansari and many of his fellow classmates did what most film graduates do and headed to Hollywood. Ansari took this time to learn the industry as well as forge his path into the music industry. In fact, he was a part of the production team of Sound City (2013) — a documentary featuring David Grohl, and other influential artists, that tells the story of Sound City recording studio, where some of rock's greatest albums were recorded.
"I got a chance to work with Paul McCartney and the guys from Nirvana, […] there was Stevie Nicks and a dozen famous rock icons," Ansari said. "The type of work was in the music studio with these people. It was really intimate, and they told a lot of great rock history stories."
During this time, Ansari also found opportunities shooting what made him fall in love with film in the first place — action sports. More specifically, he set out to capture the high intensity and growing in popularity game of paintball.
"It was more like a kind of X Games kind of action sports scene," Ansari said. "Like guys wearing camo in the woods, hunting each other."
It's no secret filming the action-packed sport required a highly-skilled and efficient traveling team. Ansari was lucky enough to work alongside industry colleague and friend, Dan Napoli, director of 50 Summers. The two had a history of working on projects together and were able to combine their skillsets effortlessly.
"I compare it to being in a band with Dan," said Ansari. "He would be like the lead singer, and I'd be like the lead guitar player. […] We come from the same school, essentially, of filmmaking. So, when I'm with him, it's just like being back in the band again. That's why any chance that he has a project or wants to get us together, I usually jump right on it."
He wasn't kidding. In 2017, Ansari got the call to action from Napoli to join the 50 Summers production team in Durham, North Carolina, and take lead on drone production. He was thrilled to hop on another project with Napoli.
"We [were] going to interview historical figures, and go to historical places, and fly the drone, and get some gorgeous shots," Ansari said. "It's like being a band member and getting a call saying that you're going to go jam at this big festival […] It's just a good feeling."
And jam they did. Ansari, Napoli and the production team spent a significant amount of time planning and executing shots around the Bull Durham stadium. Ansari said that usually the hardest part of productions like that is getting video permissions, but with Napoli as their fearless leader, it was a non-issue.
"He's a seasoned director and producer," Ansari said. "We didn't have any major hiccups or anything. It was really smooth, and we flew right through it."
Ansari took on producing most the drone footage of the Bull Durham stadium. When asked what unique aspect drones bring to the bigger picture, Ansari said that it all relates back to the bigger picture of telling a story.
"It's kind of like having a different paint brush really," said Ansari. "A drone is really just one perspective […] I use a drone to establish the story and where we are, then I like to go in really tight and intimate."
Before drones flew into popularity, capturing these types of big-picture shots took a lot more effort – and money. In order to achieve sweeping aerial views, you needed helicopters, cranes and a $25,000 camera. With the ease and accessibility of a drone's modern technology, production for 50 Summers was more efficient and enjoyable.
Ansari especially took pleasure in the project because of his intertwined personal history with baseball, including playing in the Little League World Series in Europe at age 11.
"I love the fact that we were shooting baseball, and we were going to be out on the fields and getting our feet muddy," Ansari said. "[It] got me excited again. I was like, 'Man hit me a ball!'"
As all good things must eventually come to an end, so did the production of 50 Summers and jamming with the band. However, Ansari continues to use drones at his own production company, Hotrock Pictures, which is based in West Palm Beach, Florida, and has a unique focus on creating music videos for the yacht industry. When asked how he came to focus on the yacht market specifically, Ansari said it was about finding a niche and just diving in.
"I saw an opportunity to really be able to compete with the situation here," said Ansari. "I think now that I've really focused on one [industry], I'm feeling the most stable and successful in all my career yet."
Check out Ansari's carefully crafted drone footage and more throughout the film 50 Summers, screening at film festivals nationwide.

Storm Nate has brought strong winds, heavy rain and some flooding to the south-eastern United States.
It made landfall as a hurricane twice, in Louisiana and Mississippi, but is now weakening rapidly.
Some storm surge warnings have been lifted but weather officials say danger remains in Alabama and western Florida.
Nate killed at least 25 people in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Honduras. No deaths or injuries have yet been reported in the US.
Although not as strong as last month's Maria and Irma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and parts of Florida had issued warnings and evacuation orders ahead of its arrival.
Chett Harrison, the manager of the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Biloxi, said he had kept a restaurant and bar open for his 300 guests and "they have been OK so far".
But he told local TV he hoped none of his guests tried to leave "because everything is flooded around us".
Mayor of nearby Gulfport, Billy Hewes, told the BBC the storm surge did not appear to be as high as feared and he thought the damage there would be minimal.
