Nice beach resort for a pool personPosted Feb 8, 2014
Great resort. Great staff. Good food. The beach is pretty, but full of weeds. It didn't bother me because I'm not a big ocean swimmer and the pools are great. Overall, excellent experience that I would recommend to anyone.

Room Switch and No BeachPosted Dec 18, 2013
Pros: Dining and the Pool. The dinner at Le Chique is not to be missed. one of the top Five meals we have had in all our travels.
Cons: More then One bartender during peak hours. The round bowl hot tubs are not practical. The follow up with the front desk staff. (see other reviews)
Location: Everything is a long way off and the road to and from the hotel is not very good. (see other reviews) If you get a chance the trip to Tulum and Xel Ha
Upon arrival informed no King size Ocean view were available. Switched to Two doubles with an Ocean view. Second day switched to Kign with NO Ocean view. building under construction the week we were there.

Resort Nice but FOod is awfulPosted Apr 16, 2013
Pros: it was nice
Cons: the food
Location: great beach!
The resort was nice but the food was seriously awful. The service was just ok. The only reason I wouldn't recommend this resort is due to the food.

Great ResortPosted Jan 28, 2013
Went for 8 days. When we arrived there was friendly greeting and went to check in, this was the only area that was not out standing. There was a mix up with our room and required an hour to switch it. We were able to grab food on the resort and then get into our room. The whole resort and staff was great. When it rained they had live music and the staff did a good job to keep the mood up. The miles of pools were clean and the beach was a post card. The room was large, modern, and clean. The bed was comfortable, with a pillow top. The food was great, I liked everything I ate. I would definitely go back

Great stayPosted Nov 29, 2012
Pros: Get a massage
I went there for one of my best friends wedding and the service was second to none. My wife and I had a little problem with the room but they immediately found us another one. They even upgraded us and were very apologetic. I would recommend this resort to anyone who wants to be pampered.

Nice resort on the worst beach in Mexico.Posted Oct 10, 2012
Pros: service, cleanliness, food is great
Cons: beach is terrible
Location: close to cancun, but on worst beach.
it is on the most disgusting stretch of beach. You cant swim i the water, and if you Google ACTUAL pictures of the resort, the water is brown. ugh. if you want to have a wedding in soft sand on the beach, this is not your place.

Sensatori...Good if you are privilege guestPosted Sep 13, 2012
Pros: Azulitos playhouse is great for kids 4-8 Food is excellent and different every day Pools are great
Cons: The concierge WiFi not so good and expensive
Location: Quiet and far from everything, beach with lots of weed because is a protected zone, so not lot of fun swimming
The hotel is gorgeous, but some installations seem old or not well maintained. The staff is well trained and do all they can to help you, the only exception was our assigned concierge who was more worried about sell a share-time than know all our needs. A couple of days we got sick (my daughter, my wife, and me) my wife ask for bottled water in the room, and the water doesn't arrive, one day after we still needed water to take our prescriptions, we asked for it and one hour after I went directly to the concierge to ask where can i get the bottled water, he was pleasantly resting on his desk, and told me...Oh you don't have it yet?...well we dis the request on the computer so room service is in charge, so nothing we can do...WHAT???. I ask again to tell me where can I find the bottles, to personally get them, he insist that nothing can be done, we should wait...I said that I'd been waiting for one day, so finally the water was sent to our room, but as we can't go to the time share conference, our concierge service was finished in that moment. O_o. Other thing is if you want to dinner at "le chique", you must reserve when you arrive to the hotel, if you are lucky you will get the opportunity to dinner there, but I was assured that all the conventional guest are in a waiting list, because the restaurant reservations are for the exotic privilege guests (those who have bought the time-share program). In our case the waiting list doesn't work, so don't expect so much. WiFi is $$$$

8 days of perfectionPosted Jan 22, 2012
Pros: the pools and swim up bars
Cons: none
Location: secluded, but very close to the airport and a short (about 20 minute) cab ride to Playa del Carmen
Was pleased with every aspect of this hotel. While the beach in front of the resort is not the greatest swimming beach (I am a huge beach lover) it was a non-issue. If you walked a couple hundered feet up or down the beach (who doesn't like a walk on the beach) there were areas for great swimming. Also, the swimming pools were absolutely unbelievable. Clean and sparkling water! Great swim up bars with superb bartenders! Adults only area! The layout of this resort was also great. This resort decribes themselves as a multi-generational resort and this was appeared true however, if you didn't want to be around families, then dont go to the family pool. The grounds were amazingly beautiful and perfectly manicured. The staff was friendly and attention to our needs or wants was timely and friendly. Loved the smaller size and layout of this resort. For the size there are a number of options for food and beverage. Nightlife tended to be on the more quiet side which was fine for us, but we also saw groups of people tearing up the dance floor. It is all what you want to make of it. Food was good, not excellent gourmet, but was more then satisfactory. We ordered room service a number of times and found it to be very timely. We stayed in a swim up room in the adult section behind the waves swim up bar and could not imagine a better location. All in all.....a great 8 days in paradise and I would go back to this resort.

Matt's Top Tip - If you're using this reel for lure fishing take time to think about your retrieve. A constant winding motion will put action into your lure or spinner but it isn't always the most successful approach. Predators are attracted to fish in distress so wind the reel in an erratic way using long cranks and short bursts as this will make your lure dart and flutter.'

The teen accused of smothering her infant sister to death pleaded not guilty to murder Thursday morning in Madison Circuit Court.
Jessica Marcum, 17, appeared with her attorney at the arraignment. Although she originally was charged as a juvenile, a judge earlier determined after a closed hearing that the case should be moved to circuit court and Marcum be tried as an adult.
Marcum is charged with killing her 9-month-old sister, Bella Rose Marcum. The child died June 11, according to the felony indictment.
Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Jennifer Smith said earlier this month that Marcum was in a "caretaker role" at the time of the baby's death.
Detective Jeremy Hamm of the Kentucky State Police investigated the case.
Marcum is not eligible for the death penalty if convicted, however she could face a sentence of 20 to 50 years to life in prison.
Marcum's attorney asked Madison Circuit Court Judge Jean C. Logue to reduce Marcum's bond, which was set at $100,000 by a district court judge.
The attorney said Marcum turns 18 next month and may be moved out of the juvenile facility in which she is being held. The high school senior might not able to complete her education if she is moved.
The attorney asked Logue to reduce Marcum's bond to $50,000 at 10 percent, noting the woman's family may still have trouble coming up with $5,000.
Smith opposed the bond reduction, and Logue said she needed to examine the pretrial information collected by district court when the bond was set before making any decisions.
Marcum's next court date is a pretrial hearing at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 14.

NORMAN — Cleveland Area Rapid Transit (CART) makes a move on Tuesday to two new transfer stations — the Campus Depot and Brooks Street Transfer Station. The site of the former Transfer Station, the South Oval on the University of Oklahoma campus, has closed to vehicular traffic for construction of a Scholar's Walk.
The Brooks Street Transfer Station, for city routes and some campus routes, is located along Brooks Street near Jenkins Avenue and the Duck Pond parking lot. Campus Depot, to be utilized primarily by campus routes, is on Asp just west of the OU football stadium. Campus Depot still is under construction, but the nearby Asp Avenue Parking Facility will serve as a temporary turnaround point for the buses.
The Brooks Street Transfer Station has been under construction since January with a circular area for buses and new bus shelters on a sidewalk in the middle of the area. Electronic signage is coming soon to both sites.
"One of the big advantages of the new stations is that CART buses will no longer have to make a left-hand turn onto Lindsey at Asp. Lindsey often is congested, particularly at the start of each semester," said Doug Myers, director of OU Parking and Transportation Services.
"And as far as city routes go, the Main Street and East Lindsey routes now struggle to maintain on-time schedules. Competing with other traffic making the turn into and out of the South Oval frequently puts them behind schedule. We anticipate avoiding the South Oval will save seven to 10 minutes on each of these routes," said Cody Ponder, assistant director, OU Transportation Services.
All in all, CART administrators, supervisors and drivers look forward to a more streamlined, timely and hassle-free bus system for passengers.
"We know there will be a learning curve — some transition time for customers. But we hope everyone knows the changes we are making are in the best interests of the citizens of Norman and students, faculty and staff at the university," Myers said. "We expect a safer, more secure experience for bus riders on campus because buses won't compete with as much vehicular and pedestrian traffic."

Roy Goemaat was born June 25, 1925 near Attica, the youngest of Arend and Nellie Schakel Goemaat's ten children. He attended school at Attica. He was married to Ruth Wineland on April 4, 1946. Although they had no children of their own, they always claimed their nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews as their own. They farmed east of Knoxville their entire married life. He loved going to farm sales, having pets, and enjoyed people. He had a great sense of humor and enjoyed playing practical jokes. He and Ruth loved to take trips all over the country with Marlin and Carol Wineland. A few years after Ruth's death in 2001, Roy went to the nursing home. When family visited Roy, he always asked about how things were at the farm, and loved to joke around with them.

Jasper is one of the older dogs at Animal Rescue League in Pittsburgh in need of a home where he can enjoy his senior years.
He was surrendered, but we don't have much background information on him.
He does appear to be house-trained and he walks nicely on leash. Jasper is almost 8 years old and therefore is a calmer, more settled dog.
He also doesn't need the same level of exercise as our younger dogs, which may be a plus for some people. If you appreciate the qualities of an older dog, stop by and meet Jasper.
For inquiries about him, you can contact Sue at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Jasper's adoption fee is $55.

MPC is great video player...
I wish that author will make just a little better (nice looking) GUI...
And, does anyone knows how can I see subtitles in mp4 (Nero Digital) movies? Movies are encoded from DVD's with Nero Recode, and they are "built-in" in the movie... BS Player can play those subtitles without any tweaks!

Clean, simple ... and a security risk.
Windows Media Player has a couple of switches that MPC does not -- the ability to *stop* media files from running scripting.
What with unscrupulous people embedding URL calls to websites into movie files now, I cannot justify allowing the install of MPC.

I can't open any streaming media either. It appears that the newer versions of MPC aren't trying to connect (I don't get a prompt from my firewall). v220.127.116.11 works fine, however. I reported this on Sourceforge, but no one responded.

Hi Guys
It's me again. I have been tearing my hair out in frustration trying to install the Media Player Classic that comes with RealAternative on my second XP partition. I was getting 'failed to render file' messages with each attempt to open wma and wmv files after having installed the latest windows media codec pack for WMP6.4. The answer was found in a Doom9 forum. Open View>Options>Tweaks and untick the box for 'Use Wm ASF Reader with Windows Media Files'. Unfortunately there is no help file with this program and the zipped document you can download will not open. Thank God for Google huh?
I love the no nonsense user interface of this programm with menus for File, View, Play, Navigate, Favourites and Help just like a proper Windows program. Winamp may do a better business of playing your media files but it has a ghastly user interface.
Incidentaly mpeg-4 support is not integral with MPC as I wrote before. You have to install the WMP6.4 codec pack.
Media Player Classic 126.96.36.199
on 03 December 2005, reviewed by: Motorcycleboy
I cannot recommend this program (MPC 126.96.36.199) too highly. It realy does play everything you could possibly want without code bloat or instability. I tried the WMP8 that I recieved with XP professional but I had endless trouble with error messages and files that would not open. I tried WMP9 and the same thing happened. MPClassic is a relatively small stand alone program with built in decoding support for DVD, mpeg-2 mpeg-4 AC3, CDA and mp3s among other things so it will play anything you buy in the shops without having to buy a software or hardware DVD decoder. Brilliant! You need to download the wm9 codecs for WMP6.4 to play the latest wma and wmv files. Better still get the MPClassic bundled with Real Alternative and you can junk Real Player. While you are at it get Quick Time alternative and then you are set up for just about everthing ther internet you throw at you.
As far as picture and sound quality go I see no advantage in WMP9 so all it has to offer are gimmicks like skins, CD library and internet radio.
Only problem is that I use a product called XPlite to get rid of the WMPs bundled with XP but then MPClassic does not work. Any solutions anyone?

Some XVID or DIVX video files cannot be played started from V184.108.40.206. The files can be opened by MPC but they won't play even you press play or pause button. The last workable version is 220.127.116.11 or below. Please look into the problem or maybe suggest how to tweak it.

PROS: Basic, Compact, Non Microshft, open source, quite configurable, instead of 3 or 4 different players you get 1 simple integrated player that pretty much plays just about ANYTHING! CDs, MP3s, DVDs, QT, RAM, WMA etc etc (just install codecs)
CONS: Cumbersome functionality, a tad un-user friendly but with the versatilty of what this can play I'm willing to look past the pooey interface. A good skin, plugin vis would be nice.
Nice work.

Deborah Sweeney, Contributor
West Coast CEO who knows small business and entrepreneurs.
To call it a working lunch hardly seems fair to what the meaning of a working lunch used to be.
More than ever employees across the board are skipping out on going out midday for lunch to stay in for a quick desk lunch bite that requires little more than a few chews before it's back to the grindstone. A study conducted last year by human resources consulting firm Right Management showed that 65% of workers will not only eat at their desk but also opt out of taking a break period. And while it has been proven in studies that taking a break is good for you in both improving your overall job performance and keeping morale high, it continues to get tossed to the wayside in favor of one little big word: productivity. Jobs are still scarce, duties keep piling up for short staffed companies, employees are coming in earlier and staying later to get as much done as possible and schedules are increasingly difficult to coordinate whether you plan on eating with a coworker or not.
The desk lunch does have an incredible allure to it of being within close proximity to your workload and without all of the time consuming extras of going out (i.e. waiting for a table, waiting to take a group order, waiting for the check) that the group lunch of old can't boast. Continuing to stay seated throughout the day may not only prove to be a health risk, but at the same time it may be your only option. A short staff, as the USA Today reports, doesn't get the option to relieve a worker for lunch and even if so, that relief may not fall within a time in which you're actually hungry at.
Avoid the risk of falling into the desk lunch zone with these tips that you'll make a break for.
Turn Your Lunch Hour Into a Run
In Brisbane, Australia this is already well underway for executives ditching the office altogether to go running for 20 to 30 minutes with just enough time leftover to suit back up for the rest of the workday. Working as both a stress reliever and mood elevator, legal counsel Amanda Barbera refers to it as "the lunch-hour bolt" explaining that, "… it lets me make a quick snatch for the endorphins I'm addicted to. I find it easier to get away from work during lunch because everyone knows you're there for the day and you'll be coming back!"
Whether running alone or with a group or even just going outside for a walk, find a way to get outside at some point during your midday break. And now that the weather is slowly growing nicer, this is an even more appealing alternative to catch a few rays outside with.
Eat a Protein-Filled Breakfast
Should you have to take a regularly scheduled lunch hour at a time in which you don't feel hungry, eat breakfast before you head into the office in the morning. Whole grains and protein in particular will help keep you full for the day with additional healthy snacks in between including fruit, yogurt, and granola. I recently replaced our traditional office candy basket with a big jar of fresh fruit options for my employees- out with the 2:30 feeling and in with the Vitamin C!
Lunch in the Break Room
It may not be the furthest place from your desk but for a change of pace take your lunch in the break room. Be sure that the break room in question is also one that you'd actually feel compelled to walk into though and stay for awhile. Keep it clean, brightly lit, include a flat screen television if possible, have plenty of plasticwear and napkins on hand and the snack cabinets stocked.
Take a Work Lunch Field Trip
If you work with a smaller team, surprise them by scheduling in a work lunch for everyone to attend. Close the office down for a few hours and enjoy a leisurely meal out at a nearby eatery. Not only will this be a pleasant change of pace all around, but it'll also be a great way for the office to spend some time just talking and relaxing for a bit. Work for the remainder of the day will be much easier to concentrate on and I'm willing to bet that it won't make you miss that "desk lunch" option one bit.
Thanks for sharing, It's really helpful.
A big danger of the desk lunch is that you lose that key networking time. So many people bury themselves in their desk thinking this is what will show company management their value but then restructuring happens anyway and the desk luncher doesn't know anyone around the company who can advocate for them.
Management isn't concerned about anything other than productivity. And logically, the more you have people grinding away, (even if it doesn't actually produce more) the more CONTROL you can exert. Management is about one thing, and one thing only…CONTROLing the drones to be the best they can be – for the company. (aka- produce as much as possible for as little as possible).
Let's not forget people…all "C" level management is concerned about are quarterly reports and bonus checks. You are replaceable, labor today, thanks to the global economy and politicians is cheap cheap cheap.
Keep grinding away. There is somebody who will grind away just like you for .50 cents an hour less who just submitted a resume that they will be interviewing this week.
Keith Ferrazzi wrote "Never Eat Alone" and right he is, and you are. The networking (that should be) done can prove invaluable.
I find the crumbs in my keyboard to be kind of disturbing.
An Old School Reply:
Unless there's some kind of deadline, there's just no real good reason to Desk Lunch anymore. For all reasons already stated, I'd like to add that chronic Desk Lunchers are very likely eating with unwashed hands & in an area with a high colony of bacteria. Plainly stated, eating food at your desk can be nasty.
I can't think of anything worse than desking lunch in "cubicle culture," either. Just because my Type-A associate wants to eat-in doesn't mean I want to smell their lunch while I'm working.
The other thing we've experienced is the time theft that goes along with some who want to "eat while working" then proceed to log out for their "lunch break." That doesn't fly with me. As far as I'm concerned that's double-dipping & stealing time from your employer.
Perhaps I'm a stricter task master than most. If you're on my team you're either working or you're eating; not both. You cannot talk on the phone while you eat. That's rude. You can't type & eat. If you do, you're just cross contaminating two surfaces: dirty keyboard-hands to food then mouth, or food to your keyboard.
Most employers have guidelines about food & drink near sensitive electrical equipment & computers anyway.
If you have more autonomy in your work-role, that's great. I used to be "that person" who milked every single moment at work for all it's worth. I ate & drank at my desk mistakenly thinking it set a good example. It doesn't.
It only takes about 15 minutes to eat your food. Add washing up, disposing of the refuse, smoking (if you do that), visiting the facilities (potty break), and returning refreshed & nourished might take a total of 30 minutes, right?
If you can't get your work done in a timely manner by taking 30 minutes out of your day, perhaps there's a larger issue at hand that needs to be addressed: time management, organizational skills, or learning to delegate before you overload.
You wouldn't take your sandwich to the toilet to multitask, would you? No, that's gross. Work belongs at the Desk. Eating belongs…anywhere else but there.
Work is work, a break is NOT working.

Don't throw dogs a bone, FDA says
"Some people think it's safe to give dogs large bones, like those from a ham or a roast," says Dr. Carmela Stamper, a veterinarian in the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine. "Bones are unsafe no matter what their size. Giving your dog a bone may make your pet a candidate for a trip to your veterinarian's office later, possible emergency surgery, or even death."
Here are the biggest risks of giving dogs bones, according to the FDA:
> Broken teeth
> Mouth or tongue injuries
> Bone looped around dog's lower jaw
> Bone stuck in dog's esophagus, windpipe, stomach, or intestines
> Constipation due to bone fragments
> Severe bleeding from the rectum
> Peritonitis
The FDA has also released a client handout about the risks of bones. Click here to download the handout.

HOLLY SPRINGS — An Apex man was being held without bail Monday for a court appearance in Raleigh after his arrest Friday night on charges that he attacked two people with a butcher knife.
Holly Springs officers arrested Nicholas Joseph Roberts, 28, at his home at 905 James St. in Apex shortly before midnight Friday, according to their arrest report.
Roberts was charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and one count each of assault on a female and communicating threats.
The assault charges are felonies, the other two are misdemeanors.
According to arrest warrants, Roberts cut the hand of Shannon Nicole Sidney with a butcher knife after saying he was going to kill her.
The second assault charge involves a minor, the warrants indicate, and there were no details about any injuries.
Police said Sidney was assaulted Friday, but not where in Holly Springs they believed it happened.

Bloody Eye: Softballs Aren't Soft
As the bright, late-summer sun begins to set over suburban Columbus, OH, a rec league softball player rips a stinging line drive into left field. The runner on second base takes off for third and Kacy Weaver positions herself to tag the advancing runner out.
Weaver looks out to left field for the incoming throw but all she can see is the massive, fiery flare of the descending Ohio sun. She is momentarily blinded—at the exact moment the left fielder unleashes a perfect strike to her at third base. Before she can protect herself, Weaver is struck in the left eye by the throw.
"I don't know why they call it 'softball,'" Weaver says with a chuckle. "There's nothing soft about them at all."
Fortunately, Weaver is wearing her Oakley Gascan® sunglasses.
"I thought I was alright," she says. "[I] was looking down to find where my Gascans went and then I saw the blood steadily dripping into the dirt."
Weaver ended up with two gashes under her left eye. A CAT scan and 11 stitches later, she was emphatic about good fortune.
"If it weren't for my Gascans, my cheek bone would have been fractured and required surgery and my eye could have sustained major damage as well," she says. "My Gascans took the brunt of it all [and] I'll never wear anything but Oakley."
"My dad always said, 'Cheap things are of no value and valuable things aren't cheap.' So true, so true."
