Breakfast buffet and the spa. Non-functioning portions of the spa circuit, lack of transparency of the in-room international phone rates.
Excellent hotel with good selection of restuarants, nice pool area and friendly staff! For the price paid & star rating I would have expected; - 1 - internet access in the room - 2 - more/higher grade Audio & Video equipment (no radio, cd- or DVD-players and an old 22-inch tv) - 3 - Mineral water or a bottle of wine and/or fresch fruits etc to be in the room as a welcome gesture on arrival!
The hotel was as advertised and an enjoyable experience. You had to pay into the hotel gym. This is not what you expect from a 5 star hotel and seems a cheap attempt to get extra cash out of their guests. One expects a hotel of this size to have its gym available at no cost and indeed, I have not come across this before. Also, the choice of food available, esp in the evenings, was limited with not much variation.
I throughly enjoyed the pool/decking area on the top of the hotel it was very relaxing and peaceful, just what the doctor ordered.
room size and cleanliness too impersonal
I love the open air hallways and the outstanding staff - they are very helpful and friendly - from the cleaning staff all the way up to the managers. No real complaints - some of the shopping units were empty - this was a pity. They should offer local shops a 'free' day or night where they could come and use the units for free to promote and bring awareness of the local shopping area.
Being able to choose location of room
It was quiet. Great value for money. Loved the padded matressed sun beds. Also great to have 2 sunbeds on the balconey. No iron despite saying on website you could get one in reception which resulted in me having to buy one. We Arrived at 2Am due to 2 hour delay at airport and despite ringing the hotel beds for the children were not ready and they were exceptionally hard.
Very comfortable hotel, great value, location
Truly a grand, impressive entrance and hall. Spacious rooms, comfortable.
efficiency of staff
We enjoyed our stay here. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is also very clean and at anytime of the day you can get a sunbed. Poeple who reserve beds are in for a shock as the hotel lifts all towells and belongings from unoccupied beds - very relaxing holiday indeed. My down side was the food. I am really glad we were bed and breakfast only as the breakfast was a big let down and speaking to various people around the hotel the food in the evenings was not of 5 star standard. 1 couple said they have eaten out all week as the food was terrible. Five star - I don.t think so I would grade the food side of the hotel a poor 4 star. The hotel room should also have tea making facilities in the rooms.
Everything was perfect! I was very surprised when I was offered an apartment in bungalow. The food is very delicious and various. Free wi-fi is extremely low...
Reception manager helpful and flexible about the location of our bungalow: first was too close to pool; second bungalow towards the back and higher up the ground suited us better. Stayed half-pension, breakfast and dinner were ok. Dinner drinks were extra, but not too expensive. Pool was nice: shallow part for children, no scramble for lounge chairs and towels. Best part: Kinderanimation (children's entertainment)! Animation team primarily German, but they also engaged with English- and Spanish-speaking children. Our 5-year old loved it: when not swimming, he was at supervised play room or grounds; and 'Kinderdisco' every night. We bought their CDs so our son can sing and dance to the Animation music at home. Most cakes for buffet dessert pretty much tasted the same, after a week of eating at the restaurant.
Great hotel for familys with young children, separate bugaloes gives feel of more privacy, lots of children facilites and activites
When I registered by distaste for the bungalow presentation and position the staff were extremely helpful in repositioning my family. The bungalows
Location Kids prefered facilities at the Iberostar Costa Colero , needs more for children , playpark ?
The saltwater swimming pool was excellant and the reception staff were very helpful and efficient. The spa was very good and value for money Restaurants were very poor quality for evening dinner. restaurant staff were courteous however they were very badly trained. not what should be expected from this class of hotel. There should be a business centre facility. I had to use the reception desk for some urgent business.
We like everything except the mattress The mattress
Location and accommodations. Willingness to help out and accommodate problems. Bad room location at first, other information in reservation was not known to all hotellpersonal at first.
The location is excellent, the staff are great and the hotel is lovely
nice place, several pools, meal, clean and cosy rooms
top class kids club. very relaxing stay no magners / bulmers
nice peaceful and quiet with plenty of space in and around the pool area with nice helpful pleasasnt staff rooms are positioned like apartment blocks with some noisy dutch children playing football in among the grassed area causing damage to plants etc no respect to others should be a safe childrens sport area and signs showing no football rooms are very good but not 5 star food very good and entrance hall spectacular and worthy of 5 star
Friendly staff and hotel facilities Brakfeast
I did not like having to stand in line for tea or coffee in the morning. I do not think this ia 4 star standard.
Weather and food Our child was abandoned and left unattended at the kids club
I liked for sure the spatious room and the view to the swiming pool. The food is good and I liked that impression I had - good management with smiling people. The personnel at the reception desk are profesionals and they gladly offer their support. Our compatriote - Adrian helped us a lot to organize our to Aeropuerto Sur and all his colleagues from the restaurant were doing their best to make our stay there a more pleasant one. The walk to the beach is a good opportunity to inhale that magnificent air of the ocean breze. A suggestion I have: I consider that a more variate fruit buffet at breakfast it would be an appreciate improuvement.
Family friendly & pleasant staff Could be difficult for people with walking difficulties going to anf from the besch
The staff are very friendly and very efficient. It is a very relaxing hotel to stay in. We were with our friends and our daughter with a 7 year old and we all loved it would go back again. The pool is excellent for children and the all inclusive is great value. It was our second time there and we will definitely be going back when the ash cloud is over. not 1 complaint
The Location of the Hotel was very good with just a short walk downhill to Fanebe Beach. The All Inclusive element was very good value considering the Euro/Pound exchange rate. The breakfast buffet was a bit manic!!
Rooms size is very good, big balcony, variety of food in breakfast and dinner, cleaning is excellent, very good location for family vacation reception stuff was not friendly, rooms are bit tired, also bathroom
I found the hotel excellent in every way, the staff were very efficient and helpful. I stayed half board and found the food very good.
The position was good The pool area wasnt the best we have had before
This was a superb hotel, with very helpful staff giving excellent service and providing what I would assess to be some of the best half-board food that I have experienced. I recommend taking the half-board option for €35 per person per day from the outset. The pools were well kept, bar food was very reasonable and portions large for the price charged. The suite with upstairs private sun area and personal jacuzzi looking out to sea was a special touch and very well done. Golf was organized with absolute ease and free transfers by the hotel staff to local courses was provided free of charge. Finally, the al a carte restaurant was simply superb with the 7 course taster menu firmly recommended. Noting this was a 5 star hotel, the staff were, on occasion, under resourced. It was not their fault at all as they worked very hard to provide us with great service, but a few more on duty during busy periods would have made the service even better. Also, the location is at the apex of a reasonably busy road which took the shine off what was otherwise a holiday oasis amongst a fairly built up area. That said, it was a relaxing 5 day stay for two adults.
It was very luxurious and the facilities are excellent.
Nordac walking, some other keep fit routines and massage Lack of vegetarian options on menus
The sea view and balcony. The size of the bed and room.
The comfort, friendleness of the staff and the spa. Evening meal was poor, in fact very poor for 40 euros a head. Eating out was so much better and cheaper. However Breakfast and lunch were always good.
Everything was nearly perfect. Breakfast - amazing choice and quality. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable. Overall style and design - excellent... But, people is the main asset of this Hotel - the personell is superp, helpful, proffessional and friendly. Exactly what you expect from a "real 5 star Hotel". Thanks !!!
The spa is amazing! The staff were all lovely, food at the buffet (breakfast and dinner) was of a high standard. Lovely lagoon swimming pools and the double sunbeds are amazing - if you can get one! The reserving of sunbeds with towels and books is out of control and unmonitored. There are signs up everywhere saying it's not allowed but noone takes any notice. It's very unfair and they need to actively dissuade people from doing this.
The design and style of the hotel, the large (55m2) bungalows, the choice at the buffet, the products in the bathroom (Hermès), the massage shower and the friendliness of the staff (i.e. most waiters and the very professional staff at the reception). If the buffet offered a large choice and fresh as well as tasty products, these remain rather simple in general. The "Entrecôte" was excellent! Real gourmets should probably try the gourmet restaurant of the hotel. The beach is a few minutes' walk away and the hotel is situated on a hill, but there is a bus shuttle and the hotel offers some nice pools. There is no possibility to get a single room.
Very big, clean and comfortable room and terrace. The stuff is very polite and nice. The brekfast is perfect The hotel is situated far away from the sea and from the city center.
not consistent service at lunchbar at lunch time. Otherwise no complaints
Beautiful hotel and lovely staff
The atmosphere was very relaxing and the area where the hotel was located was pleasant. The facilities were great and the staff went about their duties in a friendly but discreet manner. The breakfast buffet was extensive and very enjoyable. Decor was palatial. Really enjoyed our stay.
Breakfast buffet was fantastic. Staff very friendly but repectful.
Great location and value for the money. The spa personnel.
cappuccino (with milk) bad coffee at breakfast. No cappuccino
position bar products,old type cocktails
very friendly atmosphere, staff very helpfull, nothing to complain!
Well designed, high quality hotel. Swimming pool excellent. Very good location close to the beach in a nice area. For a 5 star hotel the food, though perfectly acceptable, was not quite of the same quality as we have encountered on our previous visits to the Canaries.
Very nice place. All the ingredients for an excellent stay are present. Special grading for the wonderful breakfast buffet. Never experienced such a choice of good and fresh food. Never been disappointed during our stay.
Location Unfortunately, the booking was not received and we were put a room we had not requested. A lot of mix up and ended up paying more than the original quote. Always use Booking.com and always this hotel, so this experience was a little disappointing as we had to change rooms during our short stay
The hotel itself is absolutely great in a fantastic position
The El Mirador was luxury personified...very quiet but we had a fabulous stay there. One note, eat at the Torre Mirador restaurant just below the hotel...again fabulous with brilliant music.
Staff were very friendly and the facilities were very good Restaurants were mixed. Food very good in Japanese, but service was appalling.
Big room, good bed View could have been better
Nice, spacious room.Beautiful swimming pools, Very good breakfast buffet.Quiet.Beatiful location next to La Caleta with good walking possibilities along the seaside. Mediocre restaurants. Drinks and food expensive.Premium De Luxe Room with sea view: somewhat poor view of the sea and closed in balcony.Better towels.
Very relaxing Too far out, not much going on in the area
Excellent breakfast buffet, Great Spa with friendly professional therapists Staff/ service in Breakfast Room. Felt if you were not in a Club Room you were ignored
The tranquil atmosphere, we went to relax and we did.
Location, comfort, peace and quiet in the rooms, beds, efficency of the staff and the hotel had a nice feel to it. Too many noisy children and having to struggle to secure a sun lounger from the Saturday onwards. Also, the restaurants and refreshments at the hotel were very expensive.
Excellent hotel; perfect location; very good animation for kids
room was great, very clean and spacious. Nice walk to the beaches close to playa de las america.Staff is very formal
Although the hotel was only 35% full the sunbathing area on the lawned area as well as by the poolside was excellent and spacious. The breakfast was well provided for with free champagne if you wanted it. The prices charged for drinks and snacks were expensive, which we were warned about by the locals! I.E. 4.5 euros for half a litre of bottled water, which resulted in many people going to the local spa, across the road and stocking up with provisions, slightly embarassing when re- entering through the main entrance but unusally the staff did nit seem to mind this and on a good note we were actually provided with an empty 2nd fridge in our room, which we were told was for our own personal use
The location near the beach was excellent. The food was varied and delicious (we had halfboard). We also liked the active animation-team and the entertainment (for both kids and adults). The much-needed airconditioning did it's job perfectly during the hot weather. The room was big enough and kept clean, it also had a nice seaview from the balcony. And last but not least - the staff was very helpful and friendly. There's nothing really negative to say about this hotel. Maybe the fact that the drinks are a bit expensive at dinner/in the bar.
The choice of food at breakfast and dinner was excellent. Very attentive, hard working waiters. The hotel has bright and spacious puclic areas. There was good entertainment for families. There are not really enough lifts for the number of people staying in the hotel. Bedrooms could do with a refresh.
The room was basic but the hotel was excellent, half board was a good deal and the food choice very good. The hotel was in an good position for the beach, bars etc. None
The breakfast buffet was very large. The view from the room and location were ideal. The bed was a bit stiff.
We have stayed there often in the past and really like the warmth and professionalism of the staff Some facilities could benefit from a "face lift"
Nice location, beside the beach and promenade, friendly staff, nice breakfast and super view from our 8th floor room.
Breakfast, pool area, location. Rooms a bit outdated, elevators hard to catch.
This is an excellent hotel in an outstanding location in Playa De Las Americas. Situated right on the beach, we used the small beach right outside the hotel a couple times, even though the shore was a bit rocky. A nicer, larger beach can be found on the other side of Puerto Colon, known as Torviscas Playa. The food was very good, and the selection was absolutely huge, although I have had better food at other resorts. There is certainly something here to be found for everyone. I had requested a room on a higher floor to avoid any noise that may occur at lower levels, and they accomodated my request with a nice 10th floor room with a beautiful view overlooking Puerto Colon, Torviscas, and the sea. All hotel staff was very accomodating! Hotel room was a bit small and out-dated, and in need of remodeling. Beds were very hard.
Hotel very nice and in good location. Food really nice with plenty of choice. Two big swimmingpools and well equipted new gim. Very friendly animation team (international). Rooms furnitures quite old...and I would say the same about other hotel guests;) 70% of all guests were over 70 years old..mostly British..In the morning they booked best places near swimming pool (thou it is not allowed) and spent there no more then 30 minutes in the afternoon...Slow lifts especialy during meals..better take floors 1-3 and use stairs if possible.
you could get easy from the airport to the hotel,it was very close to the beach, it had a very big restaurant with a good program, outside the hotel is the meeting poit for many trips like Jungle park, San Miguel Castel,etc, tv channels in 4languages english,german,italian,spanish the furniture and the painting in the hotel room are a little too old, and this was unpleasant(I speak on the behalf of my room)
Excellent grounds (landscaped beautifully), excellent service and staff. Spa is world class and well worth the experience. Extremely well suited for families with tons of fun for the kids. The bed was a bit hard for my taste and I found the restaurants to be a bit pricey but not too outrageous for the quality of food which was quite good.
Outstanding location, excellent dining and friendly staff. We've already booked to return in late September. Resort on a very steep incline so not really convenient for less mobile guests. However, buggy service in place to ease this problem.
Buffet meals are wonderful. No negative points.
Good kitchen, a lot of restaurants and big territory I didn`t like that at first day of arrival accomodating to the room with yelow water, bad floor and without sea view.But in advance I made reservation the room on sea view. But after calling to reservation, next day I accommodated in dood room on upgrate rate.
room was very comfortable and clean, beautiful garden and very pleasure staff.
kitchen, beach,evening performance, attitude to children, nice shopping, very comfortable climate.General impression is very positive. Too many steps and levels, difficult to walk with small children and old people
Finally relaxation and offload -
amazing view from balcony, staff always ready to help, food, pools well maintained, garden arrangement maybe it would be a good idea to have king size beds in some rooms which also should be more comfortable
The food was v good and the facilities were good It was reasonably placed for the sea with a 10 min walk but needed to be fit for the walk A family hotel and noisy in Dining room and some parents used Terrace bar as a creche
good amenities with great friendly staff. location. too far away for me. cold, poor quality food
good location, beautiful ocean views, friendly reception staff. good choice of food. cold water in swiming pools
Fabulous views from bar, restaurant, pool over the whole bay! Even in the evening you can just sit down outside on the terraces overlooking all the lights en the stars ... as background during day and night never loud music... or radio's .. at the terraces on the bar was always easy listening jazzy music what pleased young and old hotelguests! I heard that last year (and before) there were allways fresh white napkins at the restaurant - now there were washable (plastified) clothes... also your received in the past (as a regular guest ) every day a journal in your language it.s a pity they dont do anymore those little things .....
location and very nice view as all inclusive hotel it should have the drinks in minibar in every room, the rooms equipment and bad need to be renovated
1. Wonderful panorama - the Breeze bar :) 2. Palm trees 3. Cats It would be probably good to improve the catering sevices for "all inclusive" type of tourists, as there were a few cases when the food suply was not sufficient for everyone at peak times. In general, everything was delicious and the personnel in the restaurant were especially polite and kind. Thank you for everything.
the gardens, food, and the parrot Paco :)
Location and layout was excellent, as was condition of buildings and rooms Dining area background music pathetic, generally room was too warm, yet windows stayed shut. There is a butiful open access to the pool area but doors stayed shut, it would have been nice to eat in the open or have the appearance of being open.
The staff was so impolite
Läget var centralt och bra. Nära till både shopping och strand. Sängarna var lite hårda.
Slarvig städning av rummet vissa dagar, Vi fick påminna om att vi ville ha våra lakan bytta. Städerskorna skyllde på varandra. Personalen i matsalen var trevlig och servic inriktad.

nino replied to Gradius2's topic in Hard Drive and Removable MediaIt was my false checked it when I had read the post again. If someone have the same cable from Bluestar (Bluestar.pl) The setup is: black GND, white RX, blue TX. At the first time I made a misstake and connected TX with TX and RX with RX (because I thought white is TX an blue RX). But it was ok. It destroyed nothing (only Hyperterminal wasn't able to communicate with the HDD). I fixed it with a ca-42 Cable annd a sheet of paper So many thanks to Gradius 2, my77stang (overclock.net forum), the youtube guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29FztWJVxbM&feature=PlayList&p=B2DFC95751AC2830) and the other helpers :-)
nino replied to Gradius2's topic in Hard Drive and Removable MediaThanks for answer Valkyrio, I restored it. read above
nino replied to Gradius2's topic in Hard Drive and Removable MediaOkey i have done everypart in the guide succsesful but when it comes to: "Power OFF/ON the drive (very important!) Wait 10 seconds and now Power ON your drive. Press CTRL+Z on terminal and type:" The terminal wont let me type after i pressed CTRL-Z. What can be wrong? I am still connected. *edit* Okey this is unbelievable. I successfully restored my harddrive!! Something made my cable disconnect and loose all my drivers to the cable when i disconnected the power from the harddrive in "Wait 10 seconds and now Power ON your drive". I reinstalled the drivers from this page: http://www.the-stickman.com/files/irda-ma6...ivers-Dynex.zip and went to hyper terminal again. I tried to connect and it connected but i couldn't type anything. After a little research i tried to change the com port on hyper terminal to the same as the one that was given by Windows. I tried CTRL+Z again and it worked! I just resumed with the "m0,2,2,,,,,22"- command and pressed enter. Then i got the successful format message and replugged the harddrive to the computer and rebooted. And it worked. I am so happy i didn't think i would made this but i did it, and i am so glad. I want to thank everyone on this forum that are charing all you thoughts and infos. And i want to thank Nitrohelix that made this video that made everything so simple: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29FztWJVxbM Thank you

Invasions_ which was very popular in the '80's [though not terribly faithful to
the original]. Lady Gregory's _Gods and Fighting Men_ is mostly about Fionn Mac

Both the major Dravidian parties have been winning the elections alternately since 1989 and AIADMK taking the lead in bringing all major opposition parties under its umbrella has made the contest a much closer one than ever before.
DMK has retained its seven-year old ally Congress, considered to be the third largest party in the state, besides the most backward Vanniars based Pattali Makkal Katchi, Dalit-based Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, Kongu Makkal Katchi (KMK) and the IUML.
For its part, the AIADMK has aligned with the actor-turned politician Vijaykant''s DMDK, the second largest constituent of the front, the Left parties and some minor parties, including Manitha Neya Makkal Katchi, a Muslim outfit.
The DMK front claims that the presence of PMK and VCK, has given their front an upper hand in the northern parts of the state, where Vanniyars and Dalits formed over 70 per cent of the electorate.
Also, in DMK's calculations, the alliance with the KMK would give it an edge over the AIADMK in the western districts, considered a bastion of Jayalalithaa's party.
The AIADMK claims that the presence of DMDK, said to have a larger following among the Vanniyar community, would neutralise the PMK's effect in the northern belt and its traditional vote bank in the southern and western districts would give a big boost to the combine.

NBA: Scott Skiles steps down as head coach of Milwaukee Bucks
Milwaukee have confirmed that Scott Skiles has stepped down as head coach of the Bucks.
Last Updated: 11/01/13 10:58pm
His assistant Jim Boylan will take charge of the team for the remainder of the season, just as he did when Skiles parted company with Chicago early in the 2007/08 season.
Milwaukee have lost their last four games and have a 16-16 record this season, although they are just three games behind the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Central Division.
But Bucks general manager John Hammond denied reports that he and Skiles had a series of disagreements that led to the coach standing down.
"Scott and I did not have a frosty relationship. Scott did not hate this team," Hammond said. "It was a mutual decision. We both agreed to make this decision.
"We're not a team in dire straits, we're expecting good things to happen."
Skiles' agent, Keith Glass backed up Hammond's comments, adding: "There was no blow-up. There was no animosity going on. I think everybody made the right decision for their own respective sides."
Skiles, who would have been out of contract at the end of the season, was appointed head coach in 2008 and had a 162-182 record at the helm.

WSU and Whole Foods visited us to let us in on what's happening with the honey bees' colony collapse disorder. They even brought us our own bees to raise. Bee stings aside, we can't wait to get started.
Did you know that without bees we wouldn't be able to make things like almond non dairy beverage? The honey bee is the single most important pollinator, and we take that pretty seriously.
Bees are also extra sensitive to those nasty pesticides, so we make sure that all our almonds are organic and completely pesticide free. That's one thing we're doing to help the bees.
WSU has a whole program dedicated to helping sustain and researching the honey bee. They're pretty optimistic about the situation, saying they don't think we'll lose the honey bee. What a relief!
What can you do to help?
Check out our live tweets from the event and this post from a local blogger who joined us! Already doing something to help the bees? Let us know in the comments!

Clerk & Recorder
We are not the Clerk of Courts
Our office is frequently thought to be the same office as the Clerk of Courts. The Clerk of Courts is a state office located at the Justice Center at 501 North Park Avenue in Breckenridge. Contact their office regarding legal matters such as court dates, jury duty, divorce, appointments for a Civil marriage ceremony performed by a Judge, etc. Contact the Courts by heading to their website or calling (970) 453-2272 for County Court, (970) 453-2241 for District Court.
We do not Issue IDs or Driver Licenses
The Clerk & Recorder does not manage Driver Licenses, State-Issued IDs, Motor Vehicle Driving Records or Driving Test Appointments. Those services are provided locally by the Colorado Driver License Office in Frisco. Call their office at (970) 668-5015 or (303) 205-5600.
Do I Need a Business License?Since the passing of HB 15-1028 repealed the requirement for Colorado businesses located in unincorporated areas to obtain a business license approved by the County Commissioners, our office does not administer a County Business License program at this time. This does not affect Liquor Licensing requirements, and does not impact town/municipal business licenses. If your business operates within an incorporated town in Summit County, contact that town's Clerk's Office directly for information about municipal business license requirements. For more information about starting a business in Colorado, refer to the Colorado Secretary of State's website.
Services We Provide
What DO we do? The Summit County Clerk & Recorder's Office handles a variety of administrative responsibilities including Elections, Recording, Marriage Licenses/Vital Records, Liquor Licenses, and Motor Vehicle Registration.

Remove bump out from the corner of California St and Massachusetts Ave NW
The recently added pedestrian bump out at the corner of California Street and Massachusetts Avenue NW has substantially and unnecessarily complicated the traffic pattern at this intersection. With the added bump out, to turn from California Street either direction onto Massachusetts Avenue necessitates that a driver cross the yellow centerline on California Street.
Prior to the addition of the bump out, this intersection of California Street and Massachusetts Avenue functioned smoothly; the width of California Street at the intersection was (a) modest for pedestrian crossing and (b) governed by a traffic signal with walk indicators for pedestrians. Any consideration of alternative solutions such as converting California Street to one-way traffic would further add significant and unnecessary burden to residents of the neighborhood.
The bump out does not resolve any recognized hazards to pedestrians or automobiles. It should be restored to its prior design immediately.

Vadodara, Oct 29 (UNI) One person was arrested today for illegally possessing and selling arms at Ankleshwar.
The accused, Vijaysinh Arvindsinh Gohil, was held by the special operations group of Vadodara Police and was brought here from Ankleshwar. Police has also seized two revolvers and eight cartridges from his residence.
According to police, Vijaysinh used to sell 'Attar' when he was a resident of Sadar Bazar area of Fatehgunj in the city six months ago. He then changed his name to Dinesh Bhagwandas Patel and got a job at Cadilla in Ankleshwar. Vijaysinh already has a police record.
Acting on a tip off that Vijaysinh was dealing in arms, police arrested him. He is said to be getting small arms from Guddu Mehraj Khan Pathan of Uttar Pradesh and then selling it in the state.
He will be produced before a magistrate later in the evening today.

Bella was so excited to try on my crown!
I had a blast being Eli's buddy!
Jakayla was so much fun to play with!
The coolest part of this organization to me is that these children are overcoming obstacles to achieve their goals! Many people think that only the "typical athlete" can really be active. However, every game day these kids come out and prove that judgment wrong! It isn't about being a certain height, having a particular build, or even your skill level at a sport that makes you an athlete. It's about the desire to want to play and his or her persistence that counts! The children at the Miracle League don't let their disabilities hold them back but instead work even harder to overcome the odds. It is truly inspiring!
They were in awe of my crown! It was so cute!

Nickle and Diming customers
Sail Date: November 13, 2016
Reviewed: 7 months ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Oceanview
The NCL is nickle and diming their cruisers by charging exorbitant prices for their water package. Since I need to have water by my bedside, I had to buy their water, since they don't allow you to bring it on board. Other cruise line don't let you bring water on board, but they don't gouge your pockets with their price. They charge $3.99 for a 12 pack of 16oz bottles, where as NCL charges $27. for the same amout of water. They offer OBC, then they don't want to honor it, so I had to fight to get it. Service in the dining room was slow, and food was cold. We dined the rest of the week at the buffet, and it was great.

Deep in a wooded enclave in Petersham, Surrey, there is a trio of modernistic houses, designed by architect Sir Terry Farrell. It is not the double-height entrance halls, or swathes of glass that mark them out as highly contemporary, but the layout: each is built around its own courtyard.
Courtyard living has become highly fashionable, as the ongoing buzz around Farrell's Petersham houses suggests, but its popularity is not confined to the open residential market. An increasing number of new retirement homes have gone the same way. One developer working in this booming sector has gone so far as to evoke the concept in its brand name.
"The courtyard word - as well as the design - works symbolically to promote the idea of community," says Richard Morton, of Sidell Gibson, architects for English Courtyard, whose schemes are based on the traditional courtyard plan of alms-houses. "Homes built like this work very differently to the random scattering of detached houses in most new estates or the densely compacted apartment block designs of some retirement housing. With a courtyard you can achieve a balance between privacy and a sense of community, without an institutional feel."
For active retirees who want to walk in the Dales or jet off to the Dordogne, there are further advantages to courtyard properties. "They are very much suited to the lock-up-and-leave buyers who make up a large part of the over-55 market," says a spokesman for developer Beechcroft.
Other demographic groups are realising the benefits, too. "Courtyard schemes appeal to single women as well as to the growing number of divorcees with children," says Nigel Styles, of developer South East Living. "They are perceived by buyers as providing a safer living environment, particularly in areas close to town centres."
There is also the increasingly important issue of housing density. Farrell, who has been an enthusiastic advocate of the design for many years, says: "Although the courtyard house is low-rise, it is relatively high density. And because they face inwards, it allows for the closer packing of houses without compromising privacy."
Indeed, for Farrell, a more pertinent question is why they have not enjoyed greater popularity before. "I think it has a lot to do with the fact that in the UK we have traditionally been a nation that spends so much time, effort and money enhancing the external appearance of a property. The courtyard house, in contrast, is modest and unpretentious."
Attention is focused on the important areas of a house - those that you need and use. "Enveloped by the surrounding walls, the courtyard essentially becomes another room, but one that offers much more intimacy," he says. "You could potter around in a state of undress should you wish, and not be worried about being overlooked by neighbours."
This element of seclusion and privacy is what appealed to the Norfolk-based developer, Michael McNamara, who has built a courtyard property in Syderstone, north Norfolk.
"People approaching the house have very little clue as to what it might look like inside," he says, "but in one movement the house and its open central space are suddenly revealed with the speed of a swirl of a conjuror's cloak. We designed the kitchen, sitting room, snug and office to face on to the courtyard and put in as many ceiling-to-floor windows as possible. When they were all open last summer, outside and inside became one, large living space. You could wander in and out to sit, read, eat or chat."
John S Reynold, a professor of architecture in the US, who has written a book on courtyard properties, agrees that this social aspect is pivotal to their appeal. "Clever orientation means you can bask in the sun or sit in the shade so that the courtyard becomes a usable living space providing a safe outdoor play area for young children as well as a place for adults of all ages to enjoy."
With this focus on smaller, intensively used areas of outside space, exterior design takes on greater significance. Andrew Smith, of Berkeley Homes, believes that "as a result of planning policy steering development to brownfield sites, and with increased housing densities, the importance of courtyards, plazas and squares is in its ascendancy."
At Berkeley's new development, Artisan Quarter in north-west London, a central courtyard runs through the entire depth of the scheme, with smaller courtyards, emulating the traditional courtyards of Tuscany, Toulouse and Seville; while English Courtyard's Richard Morton says that imaginatively landscaped areas are central to each of the developer's projects, "but with none of the chore that comes with maintaining a large garden".
One of English Courtyard's current developments is Wyke Mark, in Winchester. Set in mature, wooded grounds and built around a landscaped central courtyard garden, each of the two- and three-bedroom apartments has a patio, balcony or roof terrace.
We may still be some way from warming to courtyards to the extent of the owners of Indian Havelis, who adorn their traditional homes with rich and colourful wall paintings, but perhaps it is only a matter of time before the English version of Andalusia's Concurso de Patios – courtyard competitions for most attractive courtyard - is as fiercely contended as best-kept garden competitions.
Certainly, the courtyard house is turning our accepted notions about how we want to live inside out, and is proving popular with young and old alike.


text: CHICAGO, May 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The advertising industry's definition of an online video "view" does not allow enough time for three-quarters of viewers to identify the brand or product being sold, according to a recent consumer survey conducted by STRATA, the leader in media buying and selling software. The Media Rating Council has recently stated that online video ads are "viewable" if 50% of their pixels are in view for at least two seconds. However, the STRATA consumer survey reveals that 75% percent of viewers that are able to identify the brand or product in online video ads need at least three seconds to do so, with just 25% of viewers needing 1-2 seconds. In addition, 44% of all respondents report it takes them at least four seconds to recognize the brand or product at hand. Ad skipping is another issue with which advertisers must contend, as 41% of viewers hit "skip this ad" before they recognize the brand or product being sold. Forty percent of respondents would skip a video ad because they were in a hurry, while others skip ads because it has run repeatedly (20%), was too long (15%), or was not targeted (12%). "The challenge of measuring viewability across different vendors and multiple screens is an on-going challenge, but an agreed upon standard across the industry will help determine ROI and ad effectiveness over time." said Joy Baer, president of STRATA. "This is an important issue for our media buying and selling clients and we are committed to supporting its evolution in our systems." The STRATA consumer survey also provides insight into the effectiveness of targeted advertising, with respondents finding that advertisers are not equally successful at targeting men and women. Of those that say they were targeted correctly most of the time, 57% were women compared to 43% of whom were men. Eighteen percent of online video ad watchers find targeted ads more invasive compared to non-targeted ads, while another 14% say neither targeted nor non-targeted ads feel invasive.

by Louisa Clarence-Smith
"You are not their client, you are their product" said U.S. Senator Al Franken, refering to Facebook in a speech last month at the U.S. Capitol. His words echo the concerns of millions of Facebook users over the startling amount of personal information that Facebook holds. (If you've never really thought about it, this video will give you an idea). Media revelations about the transmission of users' information to advertising servers and Facebook's determined campaign to make people's profiles public, means that most users must consciously choose to sacrifice privacy for the privilege of an extended network.
Founder Mark Zuckerberg brands Facebook as a service "giving people the power to share and make the world more open and connected". And for the citizens of China, Saudi Arabia and Iran, a Facebook account is a badge of freedom in the face of government attempts to control internet activity. But Western Europe and the USA are witnessing a growing dissidence from Facebook users who question the nature of a service aimed at dominating the World Wide Web.
For Maria Rovira, 21, a student at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain, Facebook's accumulation of her personal information was one concern which provoked her to close her account last month:
"You are putting a lot of information about yourself out there. Ok, you can keep your information from people who aren't contacts, but if you close Facebook – a day, week, month or year later when you re-open it, all your information will be there. Facebook is a very important information resource for markets and I don't want to participate. A bit of privacy, please."
I write in the wake of the Guardian's widely-publicised interview with Google co-founder and competitor Sergey Brin, who points out that the "open standards" upon which Facebook prides itself are standards reserved for use within the Facebook circle. He criticised Facebook for not allowing users to export contacts, making it inconvenient to adopt alternative networks, and for preventing Google from indexing user content.
Alongside political attempts to restrict internet activity and Hollywood's efforts to introduce legislation which would force pirate websites to be shut down, Brin cites Facebook as a serious threat to the future openness of the internet; proceeding to declare that he would not have been able to create Google in the Facebook-dominated web environment which exists today.
In an accompanying letter to Facebook's submission of its initial public offering (IPO) documents in February 2012, Zuckerberg denied the profit motivation of the company: "Simply put: we don't build services to make money; we make money to build better services."
However, in launching the company onto the stock market he has implicitly made it subject to the demands of rapid profit return and perpetual growth. Disguised as a media-sharing tool, Facebook's easily-embedded "Like" button is fast-becoming the primary method of collating user-information. So as more people sign up and stay logged in while they surf, Facebook reaps the benefits in advertising revenue and is fast-approaching a $100 billion dollar valuation.
The contradictory nature of Facebook's "sharing" philosophy is not the only reason why a band of account-holders are bucking the trend. For Hannah Clarke, 21, a student at Edinburgh College of Art, Scotland, closing her Facebook account earlier this year was a reaction to a feeling of disconnection from the people purporting to be her "friends" online."Instead of actually talking to people I'd look at their profile and feel like I'd caught up with what was happening in their lives", she explains.
"But really it was just a one-sided form of communication and I kind of forgot that I hadn't even spoken to them. Since deleting Facebook I keep much more regular and honest contact with the people I want to talk to via phone calls, Skype and emails."
What started as a free and convenient way to keep in touch with friends and family, is now widely recognised to be a cause of our increasing isolation from the real world. On Facebook, a "friend" is "added" with the consenting clicks of two buttons. But as anthropologist Robert Dunbar argued in a recent study: knowing what someone ate for lunch, what music they listen to and where they work is not enough to constitute friendship; which must be grounded on trust and real shared experiences.
"Facebook stalking" and "Facebook addiction" are just some of the well-understood problems which the network's system (designed to inspire users to publicise ever-more information), encourages. Maria closed her account after recognising that it was turning her into a voyeur of the lives of people she barely knew:
"Facebook is something which never ends because everyone is continually sharing new information. And you end up looking through the photos of people on the beach who don't mean anything to you. The thing is that your Facebook contacts are not your friends, they're everyone."
"I closed my account the moment I was spending all my free time there (instead of calling a friend, reading, going for a walk, or doing university work) and I had become obsessed with the contents of the pages of friends and family, judging them on the basis of what was published. And that was sad."
For Rocco Scatamacchia, 28, a law graduate from Rome, Italy, his rejection of Facebook is an expression of his concern that social media could destroy the charm of the chance encounter. Regardless of the convenience of having Facebook, he believes "it is impersonal and devalues personal relationships, making them daily and mundane."
The Facebook philosophy promotes the modern idealistic thinking that in an internet-connected world, physical distance is no barrier to transnational empathy and friendship. But when a human relationship exists solely on a screen; when a post is restricted by a word limit and communication is sanitised by an odourless, prescribed digital format; in what sense does that contact constitute "friendship"?
Seth Moser-Katz, Extraenvironmentalist podcaster and technophile, points out that by sharing pictures, thoughts and videos, "it is easier than ever to keep an eye on what your friends are up to, keep up on your favorite band or tell a buddy that you are thinking about him."
Reminders of birthdays and invites to real world events lead Seth to think of Facebook as a virtual form. "It is…democratizing and distilling culture down to its very essence and allowing every single person to have the same opportunity to access and contribute to a virtual world."
However, recognising the social limitations of virtual "connectivity", he concedes that new technologies like Google Glass, designed to further merge social networks with daily reality in our "uber-connected world", will ultimately intensify human isolation.
As Facebook's tentacles pervade ever deeper into society's structure, it's becoming increasingly difficult to resist and set oneself apart. Despite working in media, Rebecca Rolfe, a journalist from North Carolina, has never had a Facebook account.
"What I decided was that it was about identity," she explains. "Who you are online is a carefully crafted persona. It is a real version of you as you wish it to be…But I want to know the real you."
You won't find Rebecca on Twitter, LinkedIn, or Google+ either. "Not being on social media is my attempt to check my voice, to ensure I'm not trumpeting my thoughts without taking proper time to listen to those of others."
"I want to continue to grow and learn, and for me personally the best places to do that are outside of social media."
Would you choose to live without Facebook? I know I could. And it might even be in my best interests. But as the powerful means of global communication and organisation it has proved itself to be, I'd rather hang in for the ride.
Ultimately, it's up to us to make our own choices about how we wish to relate, if at all, to a service which is already a daily experience for 483 million people. You may not consider Facebook to define your friendships, but as more people sign up and it becomes the place to plan parties, share music and co-ordinate mass action, it looks a lot like it could be the most influential shaper of human relations in the future.
Facebook's finances are starting to tank as well, major 1Q increase in costs and dramatic drop in net profit
I really don't use Facebook like I used to. I've found my interest is subject to severe diminishing returns. I know I don't speak for everyone, but there's only so many reconnections with old high school friends you can make…
Also, I've read that Facebook's going to start having harsher profit issues as people begin using it on their smartphones more than on PC's.
I left Facebook about a year ago. I'm no less in touch with my friends than before. I wish I knew of a web-based email service that would allow me the convenience of Gmail without the ads. I use ad-blocker but I can't help but feel like I am google's product too.
I'm glad I never had a Fakebook account.
One of the main brains behind Fakebook is Peter Thiel, who is not someone I want to give (for free!) my personal identity, thoughts, musings, links to my friends, family, etc.

So who is responsible for the development genius for the Honda? Seems like they realized creating a bike around one rider (i.e., Pedrosa in 2007) won't deliver them a championship. Not to discount Rossi's skills and talents (which are obvious) but he's definitely not the "be all" and "end all" for development. JLo will hang in there and it's up to Yamaha to keep him at the top. 18 agree 2 disagree

All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India
PURPOSE: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder problem in obese people. Inflammation has been shown to play a significant role in OSA. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), a marker of inflammation is an important predictor of cardiovascular events. The relationship of TNF-α levels with OSA is conflicting and there is no data in Asian Indians. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationship between serum TNF-α levels in obese Asian Indians with and without OSA.
METHODS: We studied 141 obese subjects (BMI > 25 kg/m2). Polysomnography was done in all subjects and on the bases of Apnoea-Hypopnea index, patients were distributed in two categories (I) cases (obese with OSA; n=78) and (II) controls (obese without OSA; n=63). Both groups had comparable age and percentage body fat. Level of TNF-α was estimated in the serum sample of all subjects.
RESULTS: TNF-α levels (Mean±S.D) were significantly higher in obese subjects with OSA (31.55±16.59 pg/ml) than in obese subjects without OSA (23.96±9.41 pg/ml, p<0.05). No significant difference was seen in percentage body fat in cases (36.8±10.4), when compared with controls (35.6±9.6). TNF-α levels also showed an association with severity of OSA. There was a significant difference between hip circumference [(100.22±6.58)cm vs (105.84±12.32)cm] and neck circumference [(38.33±3.26)cm vs (39.96±4.40)cm] in cases as compared to controls.
CONCLUSION: In obese Asian Indians with OSA, significantly elevated serum TNF-α levels were seen as compared to the obese subjects without OSA. TNF-α levels also correlated with severity of OSA. This is the first study showing the association of TNF-α levels in obese Asian Indians having OSA.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Inflammation, as assessed by TNF-α level, is an important component of OSA. This may have therapeutic and prognostic implications in these patients.

The release this Friday of the movie 24-Hour Party People - which tells the story of those hedonistic days of Factory Records, acid house and The Hac, as the club was known to regulars - will revive memories of glories past. But on this chilly Saturday night, the mission is to find nightlife now.
It's 9pm and ludicrously underdressed girls with corned-beef legs huddle at Piccadilly's bus and tram stops as I head south down Portland Street to the recently completed Deansgate Locks, at the edge of the historic Castlefield district. Here, six bars and the Comedy Store have been built into railway arches beneath Deansgate station.
The Sugar Lounge, which hosted Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke's birthday bash last November, has been described by one unimpressed local as "Ryan Giggs territory". Crossing the lock bridge, it's clear from the dejected looks of several men in front that they have failed to breach the defences of the pretty girl with the clipboard who must keep out the facially and fiscally challenged.
Employing my best famous-footballer smile, I'm in - and confronted with two high- backed cream thrones, which beg the arrival of Posh and Becks. Built into a single arch, the linen drapes, autumnal hues and wooden bars are warm and welcoming. Up on the mezzanine, the DJ provides a deep, soulful mix of R 'n' B groove for a sea of bouncing, jaffa- tanned cleavages belonging to real- life Chardonnays looking for their night in a shiny Porsche.
Disappointingly, there's not a whiff of celebrity here except for a Nicky Butt (Manchester Utd midfielder) lookalike attracting second glances from certain highheeled quarters coming out of the ladies' (signed "Sugar Babes " ) . One ageing Lothario is attempting to pour pink champagne down the knickers of a squealing young blonde, who continues to get jiggy to Mary J Blige. Cue exit.
Several doors down is the Loaf Bar, occupying two fullheight arches of exposed brickwork. The cream-tiled floor and long bar add to the airy feel. Tara and Izzy, from London, are lounging on the circular brown leather chairs supping gin and tonics. They are celebrating a friend's birthday with a weekend up North. "We love it here," they enthuse. "Six top bars next to each other - it's the easiest pub crawl in the world and everyone is up for having a laugh."
The growing crowds outside, clearly visible from inside any of the glassfronted drinking holes, create a voyeuristic buzz for both sides and Tara is waving at the shivering masses. As the filtered chorus of Kylie's Can't Get You Out of My Head fills the air around midnight, I dash for a cab.
MY destination is Sankey's Soap, a 15-minute cab ride across town to the north- east fringes: the club some Mancunians feel is the natural successor to the Hacienda sits in a virtually derelict wasteland. Joining the queue, I meet a trio of neanderthal bouncers whose social skills would put Vinnie Jones to shame. I eventually make it in and find the land that time forgot: inside this sparse, industrial space they're partying like it's 1989, with banging house beats producing almost comicallydated rave moves from a predominantly male crowd larging it on the sunken dance floor. With one bar, a simple seating area and a bone-shaking sound system, this has all the hallmarks of an old-school illegal rave but without the energy and enthusiasm.
Heading back into town, my last stop is the subterranean Music Box, in Oxford Street. It's 2am and there is a fierce heat from the sea of bobbing heads in the main room, where funky hip-hop turntablists Jake and Ollie (from The Herbaliser) are chopping up old-school funk and breaks on four decks. Camden Market chic - woolly hats, retro tracksuit tops and shell-toe trainers - is de rigueur among the student crowd. The friendly dancefloor frenzy is reminiscent of Hoxton's muchmissed Blue Note club - as the crowd yelps its approval I think I've finally found where Manchester's Party People have been hiding.

natural convection boundary condition
Hello all dear,
I am doing the cooling problem of a block of liquid aluminum filled in container. I want to see how long it takes to cool down the liquid to solid with natural convection thermal boundary condition. However, unfortunately, I cannot find how to set the thermal boundary condition as natural convection.
Please help me. Thanks a lot!
You can set the heat transfer coefficient in the "surface properties" section of the tree on the M&G tab. If you leave the heat transfer coefficient =-1 the code will estimate what the HTC should be based on correlations. You can also estimate what the HTC is from a correlation and input this directly. Finally, you can assume that the HTC is very large and that conduction in the fluid is the controlling parameter. To use this assumption, just put in a large value for the HTC but you'll need to make sure that the assumption is physically valid.
Thank you very much for the kindly help.
you will also have to switch on the density evaluation model (and setting a thermal expansion coefficient) if you want to see convective motions inside the water.
