Dorian Anderson started birding at age 7 in the Greater Philadelphia region. Not sure what to do a bird-obsessed child, his non-birder parents decided to encourage whatever interest would keep him out of the house, and perhaps more importantly, out of trouble (this failed miserably anyway). Family trips to the Jersey Shore as a pre-teen proved particularly formative, and attendance at a number of youth birding camps west of the Mississippi bolstered the interest.
For a number of years, birding was forced to take a backseat to his education. He studied Cellular and Molecular Biology. A Ph.D. in Developmental Genetics at NYU was the next stop on the degree carousel. It was during these New York City years, that the long-dormant birding gene was again activated. The newly revived interest moved with him to Boston when he accepted a Post-doctoral position at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. It was during these Boston years, 2011-2013, that a serious interest in bird photography also developed and the idea of birding across the USA by bike was hatched.
Talk – Biking for Birds : 365 days, 18,000 miles, 617 species 1 amazing adventure?
As 2012 came to a close, Dorian Anderson decided he no longer wanted to run the academic research race. Drawing on his bird interest, he conceived a plan, to attempt the first solo, continent wide, North American bicycle Big Year. The goals of the trip were threefold: find as many birds as possible, raise awareness about environmentally sustainable travel, and personally challenge himself in new ways. After a year of planning, Anderson departed a frozen Massachusetts on Jan 1, 2014 for what turned out to be the adventure of a lifetime.
In the next 365 days, Anderson biked 17,830 miles through 28 states. He found 617 species, and he raised close to $50,000 for habitat conservation and bird-related programing. This was all accomplished using just a bicycle. He did not get into a car, plane, train, or powered boat for the entire year – for birding or for any other purpose. His talk will highlight the birds he saw during his incredible journey, and it will also draw from the bottomless well of stories that was bicycling around America. His unique blend of birds, biking, environment, adventure, and humor should not be missed.
Greg Miller was one of three persons to see more than 700 species in 1998 in North America. Pulitzer Prize winning Denver Post writer Mark Obmascik documented their stories in his 2004 nonfiction book, The Big Year. The book was converted to a Hollywood movie which was released in 2011 and starred Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson. Greg was portrayed by the Jack Black character. He was also the Bird Consultant for the movie. Greg is currently a member of the American Birding Association's Recording Standards and Ethics Committee and is an active tour guide for Wildside Nature Tours.
Talk – The Next Big Thing for Birding
Field Guides have empowered birders for years by making valuable identification information available in a format that is easy to use in the field. Field guides have been responsible for a surge in the popularity of birding. They have transformed how we bird. eBird is a Citizen Science project that stores birders' checklists from around the world in an online database. There are currently over 16 million checklists in this database for North America alone. But how can this help a birder? Many birders are faced with more demanding schedules that allow them less free time. How can a birder make the most out of smaller window of time? The free, online Impatient Birder's Guide to North America is a good place to start. Your field guides help you with identification. The Impatient Birder's Guide will help you with the where and when in planning a birding adventure. I believe it will transform how we bird in the future just like the introduction of field guides changed birding in the past.
Kevin Karlson is an accomplished birder, professional tour leader and wildlife photographer who has published many bird and nature related articles for magazines, books, and journals over the last 20 years.

Talk – Birding by Impression: A Different Approach to Knowing and Identifying Birds
This keynote talk shares a new slant to field identification that Kevin Karlson and his co-author and wife Dale Rosselet call Birding by Impression: A Different Approach to Knowing and Identifying Birds, which is the title of their new book in the Roger Tory Peterson Reference Series at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishers (April 2015). The topic of this multi-media presentation includes a more holistic approach to birding that involves right and left brain strengths to enhance your birding skills as well as a greater awareness of bird's behavior and natural history rather than just a check on your personal list. A short description of Birding by Impression is followed by unique digitized or real life photos from their new book that encourages the audience to spot differences between similar species in direct side-by-side comparison. This exciting ID approach concentrates on basic impressions of size, body shape, structural features and motion to form an accurate first impression of birds, with analysis of plumage details and bare parts to follow. Several videos and a musical ending allow for a relaxed appreciation of the beauty and intriguing nature of birds.
Workshop – Birding by Impression: A Different Approach to Knowing and Identifying Birds
This interactive outdoor workshop shares a new slant to field identification that Kevin Karlson and his co-author and wife Dale Rosselet call Birding by Impression: A Different Approach to Knowing and Identifying Birds, which is the title of their new book in the Roger Tory Peterson Reference Series at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishers (April 2015). This exciting ID approach concentrates on basic unchangeable impressions of size, body shape, structural features and motion to form an initial accurate impression of birds seen in the field, with analysis of plumage details and bare parts to follow. The result is a more comprehensive, holistic ID conclusion that is personal to each individual. A similar approach was used in Kevin's best selling book, The Shorebird Guide (Houghton Mifflin Co., 2006). The "Knowing" aspect of the title involves a sharing of natural history and behavioral information about birds that we are seeing, which leads to a better appreciation of their lives as fascinating members of our world rather than just a check on your list.
Workshop – Shorebirds by Impression: Indoor
This short indoor workshop presents an alternate approach to shorebird identification that relies on an initial evaluation of physical features to form an accurate foundation for your ID conclusion before analyzing feather details or plumage patterns. By concentrating on the size, body shape and structural features of each bird, a reliable assessment of each species is formed, unaffected by the many plumage conditions possible during the year for most shorebirds. Conscious evaluation of distinctive body motion and behavior for each species further enhances your ability to really "know" shorebirds. A similar approach was given in Kevin's popular book "The Shorebird Guide", published by Houghton Mifflin Co. in 2006. Digitized comparison photos of similar, hard-to-identify species are included in this program to allow participants to see for themselves how a combination of subtle structural differences and analysis of plumage details results in a more complete ID picture. Some of the comparison photos include dowitchers, large and small plovers, Western and Semipalmated sandpipers and the two willets.
Workshop – Shorebirds/Birding by Impression Indoor
This interactive indoor workshop shares a different approach to field identification that Kevin calls Birding by Impression, A Different Approach to Knowing and Identifying Birds, which is the title of his and Dale Rosselet's forthcoming book in the Roger Tory Peterson Reference Series (April 2015). Covering shorebirds and other bird families, comparative digitized photos from their new book encourage the audience to spot differences between similar species in direct side-by-side views. This exciting ID approach concentrates initially on basic impressions of size, shape and behavior to form an accurate mental picture of each bird seen in the field. A similar approach was used in Kevin's popular book, The Shorebird Guide (Houghton Mifflin Co., 2006). The first half of the program concentrates on shorebirds, while the second half covers other bird family groups. Test your birding and observation skills by attending this workshop and guessing the correct species using pertinent ID tips that contribute to your opinion.
Workshop – Shorebird by Impression: Outdoor
This hands-on workshop concentrates on a different approach to shorebird identification that focuses initially on unchangeable physical features. Kevin will share his experience in building a foundation for shorebird ID using basic impressions of size, shape, structural features and behavior before adding details of plumage and feather patterns to fine tune your ID conclusion. This workshop is suitable for birders of all levels, but will sometimes include advanced ID tips that allow beginners to see what lies ahead in their personal ID evolution. Kevin's book "The Shorebird Guide" (2006) is an example of this different approach to shorebird ID.
Shawneen Finnegan began birding in Northern California as a young woman. Being passionate about bird identification led to a career that included leading and managing tours for WINGS, being the Range Data Editor for Santa Barbara Software's BirdArea for 23 years, and Photo Editor for Birding Magazine. Shawneen is also an accomplished artist with her work published in many books, magazines, catalogs, on clothing, and held in private collections. Cape May was home for years (where her heart remains) and later Tucson. Since moving to Portland, Oregon in 2007 for family reasons, she completed a B.S. in Geography at Portland State University, conducted bird surveys and currently teaches several classes for Audubon Society of Portland. She recently took over Tony White's State Checklist Newsletter for AviSys Software. She is a member of Oregon and Washington Bird Records Committees, and ABA's Record Standards and Ethics Committee.
Talk – Birders do crazy things.
Chasing rarities or, better yet, finding a rare life bird is even more intoxicating. Join Shawneen Finnegan as she shares tales that include her own discovery of a Yellow-nosed Albatross that flew past her as she was driving up the Garden State Parkway, which made ABC's World News Tonight. Who but a birder would take a vacation that included planned visits to dumps and sewage ponds hundreds if not thousands of miles from home? If a bird is rare enough, it suddenly becomes reasonable to make a 1500-mile round trip in a weekend just to see a single bird. Shawneen will have you scratching your head and laughing aloud as she recounts more than three decades of bearing witness to insane birding adventures. She is a former WINGS tour leader, artist, Range Data Editor for BirdArea and AviSys, and obsessive birder.

Talk – Birding Together: How Birding Can Save Your Life and Maybe, Just Maybe, Save the World
Join American Birding Association President Jeffrey Gordon for a celebration of the power of birding to heal and transform, not only our own lives but even our world. Those of us who are lucky enough to be birders know what a positive force birding can be. But that message is something that we as a community have had mixed results in conveying. Why is it that with as great a "product" to sell as the redemptive power of a passionate curiosity about nature and belonging to community of of some of the most interesting, caring people anywhere, we've made relatively little traction with the wider public? Jeff will share stories and insights about how we can build a better world for birders and for birds.

I don't know what secret frequency the fillings in your teeth are tuned to, but you need to call your imaginary CIA contacts and have them adjusted.
Actually, based on his off-the-wall behavior, they should have done a drug screen, too.
Of course.
The innocent diners were, in reality, dangerous KKK in league with the "bad-one", enjoying an evening aperitif before making deadly plans.
She was probably in NYC,shopping for new shoes with Bubbette! and making sure her career was still on track.
Of course not.This doesn't affect the Royals in any way. Questioning one of the Palace Guards is almost like questioning Royalty theirselves,and this can't be allowed.
He's probably waiting for his ski mask to come back from the cleaners first.
It never existed. It was all pure propoganda. They have always been lying,murdering bastards. They just owned the press due to Hoover's files,so no bad word was ever printed about them. Or even whispered.
who the Democrats, other socialists, and communists tarred and feathered with lies and deceit after his death so that they could gain control over this once marvelous organization?
HorseHillary! ALL they had to do was finally tell the truth about them. A truth you don't like,but a truth none the less. Hoover sent out hit squads to murder bank robbers like Bonnie and Clyde Barrow,Pretty Boy Floyd,and others. Not arrest,murder. Hoover also had proof of some of the communist spy's working in the White House with the Roosevelts,and never made even ONE arrest of these people. That is one example of how that old fairy remained in power for so long.
Hey! It's not the Feebs fault if some suspect attacks one of their bullets with his face!
Not going to happen for several reasons,the two biggest being most local cops want to be Feebs themselves when/if they grow up,and the probability of the Feebs arresting THEM on some charge like "interfeering with a federal investigation". Cops suck up to political power,and the power here lies with the feral gooberment. Any local cop tries to arrest a Feeb,the calls will go out from the feral DNC,RNC,or both to the state Governor,and the Governor will then contact the local mayor. By the time it gets down to the Chief of Police who the mayor appointed,the cop who made the arrest would end up getting fired.
Is that a "Holy Hispanic" (whatever the hell THAT is) name that makes him a special creature,or is it a Italian name,which means he can be fired and prosecuted?
They've been out of control since the day they were formed as a feral "SWAT" team back before the term even existed.
Maybe somebody should tell him one of the Feebs involved in this has giant aluminum breasts?
I'll believe that when I see it happen. The young man who was shot doesn't seem to have been related to any of the nobility,so they won't give a damn. Truth to tell,they would probably be happier if more "trash/nobody people" were shot to teach them the "proper respect" for their "betters".
Bubba Bush has already taken care of this when he created the new "Office of Reich Security" and named his old pal Tom "Heinrich" Ridge to run it. After all,isn't their job the same job the Feebs have traditionally done?
Thank you for this post. Most here only love truth if it doesn't cut against the RePubs. One certainly cannot print truth about "Bush 'Jr.' or Sr." This is just as dishonest as Clinton is/was.
When does truth remain truth no matter? When do we call for the identical values from all camps? When does it get exposed even if it cuts both ways or even if it cuts the way we hate to see it go?
We have traitors within and enemies without. We are in trouble.
A very interesting point. Can you supply any details references etc.? Now the fact that some serious juice may be behind the investigation has my curiosity piqued. Just who might Mr. schultz know be related to etc. who may have been on the recieving end of a message? My usuual experience is that unless someone is known directly by a mover/shaker or immediate family member of a mover/shaker there is not going to be a whole lot of interest in making big waves.
I note that you do seem to have some interesting contacts/phone numbers.
Stay well - Stay saf e- Stay armed - Yorktown
Propaganda -- present evidence.
Present evidence Louis Freeh was lying when he refered to Hourichi as an FBI agent in this report ---
A Report to the American People on the Work of the FBI, 1993 - 1998, by Louis J. Freeh Director
Quote---"In 1998, all of us in the FBI were gratified to learn that a federal court dismissed the criminal charges brought against Special Agent Lon Horiuchi arising out of the events at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in 1992...."
[note--appeals court said Hourichi could be tried, but newly elected prosecutor in Idaho decided to not try Horiuchi].
Lon was brought in to hit the target. He's supposed to be one of the FBI's top snipers.
What none of us knew about him when he was a little boy was that he was sociopathic. It just didn't show.
Which ever way it turns out were screwed, glued and tattooed as the camel has his nose under the tent flap now (problem is he's all the way in the tent looking out to his next destination IMHO )
Stay Safe !
Let's not forget that the U.S. Marshalls made a false report, lied to the grand jury, lied to the court --- and then claimed immunity for lying.
[documented in court case linked in post 151 ].
Horiuch also put out false propaganda that Randy Weaver was wouned in the back, from ambush, because he pointed a rifle at a helicopter. [ Horiuchi would not say this under oath in court ---see link in post 151]. let us not forget that Horiuchi shot Randy Weaver in the back and killed Vicki Weaver from ambush --- the FBI had not announced their presence or asked anyone to surrender---[ documented in court case in post 151 ].
They HAVE to have them. You can have all the investigators and technicians in the world,but it does no good uless you have enforcement teams to back up your policies with muscle.
I joined the Army and took the service exam. They found my psych results fit a certain profile. A certain "Moral flexibility" would be the best way to describe it.... I was loaned out to a CIA-sponsored program. It's called "mechanical operations." We sort of found each other....
You're a government spook?
I was, but no... yes... I was before, but now I'm not. It's irrelevant, really. The idea of governments, nations, it's mostly a public relations theory at this point, anyway. But I'll tell you something, until about five months ago, I really enjoyed my work.
DEBIJesus Christ!
Then I started losing my taste for it. Which usually means your time is up. But then I realized it was something entirely different.... I started getting the sneaking, dark suspicion that maybe there was... meaning to life.
Okay. Great, Martin, that's just great. Meaning to life... Mmm....
Like, that there's a point? An organic connection between all living things.
Let me help you along, Martin. You're a sociopath!
A sociopath kills for no reason. I kill for money.
I hear you!!!A local police chief here , in 1936, murdered a jailed convict to preventself self-incrimination....the only serious act to date. Why, would you believe it?...These local "murdering basrards" are still fielding a small police force in the year 2002....66 years later! Can you imagine?
Why, you and I should be looking for human perfection in any police and anti-criminal organization....It is essential that each and every agent should be faultless in their excellence, God-like....just as you or I would be!!
Everyone knows that all FBI agents, clearly, have criminal tendencies. Ruby Ridge and Waco could have been acomplished by any of the some 10,000 plus agents active, hired, and retired in the intervening period.....non-of whom have any loyalty to country, honor, or personal integrity!
I always liked the guys who said "but gee I will go bankrupt and all these people will be out of work". True enough, they'll go bankrupt, but all that means is the property gets a new owner and the employees get new jobs.
Sociopaths don't care about any of that.
Please don't tell me that this former Marine, combat veteran, etc. etc. etc. was frightened by this kid unbuckling his seat belt.
If what this investigator says is true, 'your either for us or against us' put me down for against.
I was clearly writing about the Feeb leadership,and the reason they were formed. Yet for some reason you want to try to twist this into a blanket accussation against every agent who ever worked for them. I wonder why?
The federal bank robbery law needs to be repealed. No federal agency should ever be empowered to usurp the authority of local LE except in the federal crimes specified in the Constitution. Bank robbery should remain a state offense only.
Is this a case where seat belts KILL ?
I dread the day when I get stopped. If by the time the officer comes to the door I have gotten and opened my wallet I would have had to undo my seat belt. Would I now be cited for a seat belt violation?

Thousands of loud English cricket supporters are expected to
be in the city for the England and New Zealand test match at
the University Oval starting on March 6.
New Zealand Cricket commercial and marketing general manager
James Wear said there had been very strong sales for the
Dunedin test.
When England was playing and the Barmy Army following it,
ticket numbers grew and this had shown up in pre-sales for
the Dunedin match, Mr Wear said.
''We recommend that locals get in soon to secure their
tickets for the Dunedin Test, as there is limited capacity at
University Oval,'' he said.
New Zealand Cricket does not give out information on the
specific number of tickets sold before a match.
Barmy Army spokeswoman Becky Fairlie-Clarke said there was
excitement among the Barmy Army about the New Zealand tour
and a real interest in visiting Dunedin.
The group was also looking forward to seeing the University
Oval, which they had seen on television last year, when South
Africa played there, Mrs Fairlie-Clarke said. Despite New
Zealand's disappointing form before the tour a large number
of supporters were still expected to follow the English team
around New Zealand, she said.
''It is always hard to to say how many people will tour but
certainly the tour in 2008 has gone down in Barmy Army
folklore as an absolutely brilliant tour.
The Terrace Bar will be the headquarters for the touring
group while in Dunedin, something owner John McDonald is
looking forward to.
''We have been in talks with them for the past couple of
weeks and we put together a proposal and they said yes to
using us as their base in Dunedin.''
Mr McDonald expected it to be a very busy week for the bar
and did not mind if there was one day of rain.
''I'm sure we will be able to accommodate them for the day.''
The bar had not applied for an extended licence and would
operating as normal, he said.
He also invited any New Zealand supporters to get along and
enjoy the atmosphere.
Adams Flags sales manager Bruce Adams said he would be making
sure there were a few extra English flags lying around just
in case Barmy Army members had left theirs at home.
As well as the test match, the Barmy Army will be taking on
New Zealand cricket's own supporters, the Beige Brigade, on
March 5, the day before the test starts.

Poem Title:
MY heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: 'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot, 5 But being too happy in thine happiness, That thou, light-wing¨¨d Dryad of the trees, In some melodious plot Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, Singest of summer in full-throated ease. 10 O for a draught of vintage! that hath been Cool'd a long age in the deep-delv¨¨d earth, Tasting of Flora and the country-green, Dance, and Proven?al song, and sunburnt mirth! O for a beaker full of the warm South! 15 Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene, With beaded bubbles winking at the brim, And purple-stain¨¨d mouth; That I might drink, and leave the world unseen, And with thee fade away into the forest dim: 20 Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget What thou among the leaves hast never known, The weariness, the fever, and the fret Here, where men sit and hear each other groan; Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last grey hairs, 25 Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies; Where but to think is to be full of sorrow And leaden-eyed despairs; Where beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes, Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow. 30 Away! away! for I will fly to thee, Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards, But on the viewless wings of Poesy, Though the dull brain perplexes and retards: Already with thee! tender is the night, 35 And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne, Cluster'd around by all her starry Fays But here there is no light, Save what from heaven is with the breezes blown Through verdurous glooms and winding mossy ways. 40 I cannot see what flowers are at my feet, Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs, But, in embalm¨¨d darkness, guess each sweet Wherewith the seasonable month endows The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild; 45 White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine; Fast-fading violets cover'd up in leaves; And mid-May's eldest child, The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves. 50 Darkling I listen; and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Call'd him soft names in many a mus¨¨d rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath; Now more than ever seems it rich to die, 55 To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy! Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain¡ª To thy high requiem become a sod. 60 Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! No hungry generations tread thee down; The voice I hear this passing night was heard In ancient days by emperor and clown: Perhaps the self-same song that found a path 65 Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home, She stood in tears amid the alien corn; The same that ofttimes hath Charm'd magic casements, opening on the foam Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn. 70 Forlorn! the very word is like a bell To toll me back from thee to my sole self! Adieu! the fancy cannot cheat so well As she is famed to do, deceiving elf. Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades 75 Past the near meadows, over the still stream, Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep In the next valley-glades: Was it a vision, or a waking dream? Fled is that music:¡ªdo I wake or sleep? 80

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Riviera Alghero
Excellent Stay
I stayed at this hotel last weekend for 3 nights in a triple room. The room was a good size with 3 single beds. The hotel itself was very friendly and extremely clean. Cleaners came every day. We complained about a leak in our sink and it was fixed within a couple of hours. We also had air con. The pool area is very nice and sunny. We found the hotel to be in a good location one road away from the beach. It was not noisy as some people have said on this site. In fact we found it to be very quiet and not too busy around the pool area. The breakfast is of continental standard i.e. croissants, fruit, cereal, ham cheese etc and was okay. The Daps Restaurant opposite is a must to eat as it is literally on the doorstep. I was a bit suspicious after hearing some comments on here but the staff spoke very good English and it was the best restaurant we ate at on the whole holiday. Lovely pasta, pizza, seafood. It is quite pricey but eating out is in Alghero. The place itself is very quiet and chilled out. If you are looking for lively nightlife then don't go here. Personally I could not stay here for a week as I would find it too quiet but a long weekend is ideal or if you are slightly older in age. I don't think it is a good holiday spot for families and young children. The old town is about 20 minutes walk away and is a must for sightseeing. You can also get a boat trip to the grotto which costs 13 euros and is worth a look, although be aware that you then have to pay 10 euros to get into the grotto as well. We got a cab (spacious mini bus) from the airport for 23 euros and arranged for him to collect us aswell. His name is Mauro 079.981.008, cell 338.6450105 and I would recommend him. I would definitely recommend this hotel and Alghero if you want a quiet chilled out place to stay in beautiful surroundings.
Super Lage, freundlich und sehr sauber
Das Hotel zeichnet sich durch die besondere Lage. Fast alle Hotels die n�her an der Altstadt sind liegen an einer stark befahrenen Stra�e oder sie sind sehr weit von dem n�chsten Strand entfernt. Das Hotel ist in der zweiten Reihe und dadurch ruhiger gel�gen. Zum Lido Strand sind es 50-100 Meter, zur Altstadt 15 Minuten. Das Hotel verf�gt auch �ber einen eigenen Pool. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und das Personal sehr freundlich. Das Mobilar ist etwas alt. Das Fr�hst�ck ist ziemlich beschr�nkt.
Outstanding service
We stayed at this hotel when the nearby Alma failed to honour our booking.
The room was clean and comfortable with a sea view from the balcony. Public areas were pleasant and relaxing. The pool and surrounding terrace proved to be an ideal spot for quiet sunbathing if you tire of the beach, which is 30m away. There was a good choice at the breakfast buffet with prompt and friendly service.
The most important factor for us was the welcoming, helpful and efficient service we received following the problems we encountered at the Alma. The owner (English) could not have been more charming.
This hotel is ideal for anyone looking for a relaxing holiday right on the beach and a short stroll from the Old Town
Relaxed time in the Riviera
We stayed in Hotel Riviera for a week in May '06 and it was exactly what we were looking for.
It's a basic, clean, solid hotel like previous reviewers have said, but the pool area was perfect for relaxing and the location was just right - exactly in between the old town for evening meals etc, and the beautiful Maria Pia beach.
Incidentally, when we were researching our holiday we found it hard to find useful information about location of the hotels in relation to the old town and the beach. Well, Hotel Riviera, as well as Hotel Florida, Hotel Alma and others sit on Via Lido facing the sea. To your left is the beautiful old town (15mins walk) and to your right is the Maria Pia beach (15 mins walk).
It's worth walking further than the main Lido beach to Maria Pia - it's quieter, cleaner and more beautiful. You can either walk along the main road or, like we did, actually walk through along the edge of the sea.
We loved Alghero, and the Hotel Riviera was the perfect base. I'd recommend it - I've not been to Florida or Alma (number 1 rated on this site), but I would say that Riviera is a good alternative to these hotels.
Good, Solid Hotel
We stayed at the Hotel in August 2005. It is a pleasant hotel located approx. 15 minutes walk along the seafront to the main Old Town, where most the activity is. A positive for the hotel where the Pool area, which was a nice setting and quiet. The rooms are very basic, cleaned daily but very much with a view that you don't spend all your time in your room when in Alghero. As the hotel has tiled floors, it can also be a little noisy (particulary if you want a lye in!!). The Hotel restuarant seemed OK, though not a huge selection if you wanted a snack. One issue with regards to the Hotels location is that you needed to walk a fair bit before finding a choice of restuarants, cafe's, which can be a pain for if you want a quick bite. Saying that the restaurant right next door to the Hotel was very nice, however avoid the one on the seafront as you come out from the hotel (slightly to the right), it was very poor. The Hotel bar is OK but we found it better to have a quick drink there before venturing into the town. Alghero's Old Town has a nice selection of resturants, just take your time to find the best ones (Paco's was very good), the guide books tend to suggest the best options.
Enjoyed our week in the Riviera
Good tourist class hotel with a nice pool (unfortunately less than half full on one day of our stay). Staff very friendly although beware the head waiter....can be a bit moody!
The breakfast was fine, the usual continental fare of cheese, meats, cereals and juices. Our party was happy with these.
Good pasta dishes for lunch and tasty house wine!
Rooms had air conditioning but a small fridge would have made all the difference ... no minibar so nowhere to chill water.
The location is excellent, really close to the beach and about 15 mins walk along the flat to the old town where there was a very good selection of restaurants.
The hotel is fair value for money, although having visited Madrid, Paris and Berlin earlier in the year, I would say that we spent more on accommodation in the Riviera than we did on 3* hotels in any of these other cities.
An Overview
We spent three nights at the Riviera last weekend. We had a triple room, which we found to be quite cramped, but it was clean, and there was a very thorough daily maid service. Generally the hotel is quite tired, and the breakfast pretty basic, but the staff are friendly and helpful. The pool area is great and was a real saving grace, as the beach was packed and it was very windy, so a sand free environment was much appreciated. I would agree with the previous writer who found the hotel's position noisy, we were woken two or three times a night. We found the walk into the old town (1 kilometre) took a good 15/20 minutes, which was a little too far to pop out for a beer or to stroll there and back for dinner, although we did do that one evening. The restaurant opposite the hotel, Daps, is very good, although with slightly eratic service. On the whole, considering it was August, so the busiest time of year, the price we paid for the hotel was very reasonable, and at the end of the day you get what you pay for!
Good value, friendly Italian hospitality - great location
Stayed here for 4 days from 02 July to 06 July 2004 - it was the only hotel with a pool that we could find for around �50/room/nights - what a good find too. Only 10-15 minutes stroll from the old town with a lovely pool and reasonable breakfast , given the high price of hotels in Alghero we couldn't have asked for more. Simple but llarge and spotless well air conditioned rooms and on teh whole friendly staff we would return!
Avoid the overpriced pizza restaurant opposite where the staff seemed to have a serious attitude problem. When you get to the promenade head left for cheaper restaurants. Before you get to the San Marco Hotel there's a great open air restaurant with all varieties of steaks/seafood and a massive pizza menu with pizza served by the metre. Be prepared for a small wait at peak times! We didn't eat anywhere bad in Alghero and it was a lot cheaper than England. Dining on the old ramparts of the old city is also a must! Three course meals with beer and wine cost us from 40 to 55 Euros for two including fresh seafood!!
We got cheap flights from Ryan Air - less than �30 each and it was only 20 euros to get the taxi from the airport to the hotel. I would recommend Alghero to everyone!
Close to the beach
Stayed at the Riviera last week, typical tourist hotel, clean, with friendly staff, daily maid service, nice pool area, 1 minutes walk from the beach, and about 10 mins easy stroll from the old town. Only downside, was quite noisy from adjacent hotels and bars, especially on a Saturday night. Previous writer was right about the seaview and sunsets, very pretty.
Good Value
The Riviera Hotel offers good value for money and if you ask for a sea view room (not the corner room) you will see a beautiful sunset every evening. The rooms are clean and of a reasonable size. The beach is only 2 minutes walk away. Opposite is the best restaurant in town with friendly waiters and fantastic food. I am a vegetarian and found their food to suit my needs best. The Old Town is a 10 minute walk from the hotel and is very atmospheric, particularly at night. Some nice cafes and bistros to visit. Not much in the way of retail therapy for the girls though.

The display on the page ends up:
< ?php wp_get_links(1); ?>
Just shows the code, not the blogroll list.
I have the page set to use the default template and in the links section, visible is set to "yes". Is it possible I need a different template in order to do this, or do I just have the coding wrong?

Study Finds Marijuana Prohibition Ineffective
Category: Legalization | Posted on Sat, October, 5th 2013 by THCFinder
Another study pointing to the failures of the war on drugs was published yesterday by a group of U.S. and Canadian researchers. The study was funded by the International Centre for Science in Drug Policy and examined the relative price and potency of cocaine, heroine, and marijuana from 1990 to 2010. Through analysis of existing data from various UN and governmental databases, the study found that, despite an estimated $1 trillion spent by the U.S. alone, the war on drugs has failed. Lead researcher Dr. Evan Wood commented on the results:
These findings add to the growing body of evidence that the war on drugs has failed. We should look to implement policies that place community health and safety at the forefront of our efforts.
The study showed that although marijuana seizures by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration increased by 465% between 1990 and 2010, the misguided efforts are ineffective. Since 1990, the price of marijuana has decreased by 86%, and its availability remains high.
It is clear that marijuana prohibition is not an effective means to control marijuana use. Instead, it is time to focus on policies that are best for the community and the individual, instead of wasting resources on arrest.

Poll: Majority Supports Legalizing Marijuana In Maryland
Category: Legalization | Posted on Fri, October, 4th 2013 by THCFinder
Is it just me, or does it seem like every time I turn around there is another state coming out with a poll where a majority of those polled support legalizing marijuana? It's only a matter of time before those numbers translate to Election Day victories across the nation. It's truly an exciting time for marijuana reform supporters. Below is information about the poll, along with a link to donate to the Marijuana Policy Project, which I encourage all readers to consider:
A new poll jointly commissioned by MPP and the ACLU of Maryland shows that a majority of Marylanders support legalizing marijuana for adults and regulating it similarly to alcohol! If you live in Maryland, please let your legislators know that you are among the 53% of voters who believe adults should be allowed to use a substance that is objectively safer than alcohol.
In 2014, representatives in Annapolis will be considering several bills that propose a more sensible approach to marijuana policies. Voters are fully behind all of these reforms. In addition to showing majority support for making marijuana legal, our poll also found that 68% of Marylanders support a civil penalty for the simple possession of up to an ounce of marijuana. This is up 11 percentage points since our poll just two years ago!
Replacing jail time with a fine — or no penalty — would free up police, prosecutor, and court resources to focus on serious crimes. In 2011, there were 24,298 arrests in Maryland for marijuana, 90% of which were for mere possession! Legislators need to know what their constituents know – that is time to stop arresting adults for the possession of a substance that about half of all Americans have used.

52% of Californian adults want to legalize marijuana
Category: Legalization | Posted on Fri, September, 27th 2013 by THCFinder
Support for the legalization of marijuana has never been so high in the Golden State.
Fifty-two percent of adults surveyed by the Public Policy Institute of California said they thought marijuana should be made legal in the state, a new record level since the group began polling residents.
The pro-pot sentiment was especially robust among Democrats, who favor legalization by a margin of 64%-33%. Independents give legalization the green light by a margin of 60%-36%. California Republicans, on the other hand, would prefer to keep the drug from becoming a legal commodity, with just 45% saying they would legalize it, and 53% opposing doing so.
Mirroring nationwide trends, a clear majority of Californians said that the U.S. Department of Justice should not enforce federal marijuana laws in states that have voted to legalize its use for either medicinal or recreational purposes. Of those surveyed, 61% of adults and 68% of likely voters said that Uncle Sam should let state marijuana laws stand, even if they are in conflict with the federal prohibition.
While just two U.S. states—Washington and Colorado—have passed measures legalizing the recreational use of marijuana for adults, several more, including Alaska, Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont could soon follow suit.

Group works to legalize marijuana, put measure on 2016 ballot
Category: Legalization | Posted on Sat, September, 21st 2013 by THCFinder
TUCSON - A campaign to legalize marijuana in Arizona is drawing attention from the state's medical marijuana dispensary operators.
The national campaign "Marijuana Policy Project" hopes to put the measure on the 2016 ballot, but some dispensary operators said the focus should be put elsewhere.
Medical marijuana card users and dispensaries are speaking out about the efforts to put an initiative on the ballot that would legalize marijuana fully in Arizona.
"We'll be working with businesses and advocates and organizations around the state of Arizona over the next year or so to develop the best possible initiative," said Mason Tvert with Marijuana Policy Project.
But some marijuana dispensary operators believe more energy should be put in furthering medical marijuana education instead.
"At this time I think it needs to be focused on the fact that it is a medication, a powerful medication, very useful to very many people and should be treated like that with a lot of respect. I don't think it's recreational. That's not the intention of it," said Michael Schmidt with Nature Med.
Shawn Earl, a medical marijuana patient hopes the initiative does get on the ballot.
"I actually think it would help promote the medicinal use of marijuana," said Earl.
So far, marijuana has been legalized in Washington state and Colorado.

Marijuana group kicks off petition drive for Oregon legalization initiatives
Category: Legalization | Posted on Thu, September, 19th 2013 by THCFinder
Volunteers and paid petitioners have started gathering signatures for two 2014 initiatives that would work in concert to legalize and tax marijuana in Oregon.
Initiative 21 is a constitutional amendment that would end criminal penalties for marijuana and give adult Oregonians permission to grow and use cannabis for recreational purposes.
Initiative 22, also know at the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act 2014, would create a commission to regulate how marijuana would be grown, sold and taxed in the state.
Both initiatives gathered more than 5,000 signatures over two days at the the ninth annual Hempstalk Festival in Portland, according to HEMP in Oregon. The group called the kick off to its petition drive a strong start.
"Marijuana prohibition does not work and is expensive to maintain," HEMP in Oregon Director Paul Stanford said in the release. "We must move forward on a better path for hemp and marijuana in Oregon."
Some Oregon lawmakers like Rep. Phil Barnhart, D-Eugene, have reached a similar conclusion about prohibition's effectiveness and are pushing party leadership to form a bicameral committee to look at marijuana legalization's impacts on revenue, judicial and healthcare in Oregon.

Legal marijuana: Will most states head that way?
Category: Legalization | Posted on Wed, September, 18th 2013 by THCFinder
Is it possible that most US states will legalize marijuana for recreational use?
Already, Washington State and Colorado are working out detailed regulations for such use after voters last year approved the possession and consumption of personal amounts of pot. And 20 states, plus the District of Columbia, have allowed marijuana for medicinal purposes.
It's been 17 years since California voters shocked the world by allowing doctors to write prescriptions for pot and almost exactly 31 years since Ronald Reagan assured the nation that "we're going to win the war" on marijuana and other illicit drugs.
RECOMMENDED: How much do you know about marijuana? Take the quiz
Now this summer, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has signaled that it will mostly leave to states the responsibility to regulate individuals' use of pot. And a majority of Americans – 52 percent, according to the Pew Research Center, now agree with that ubiquitous reggae plea: "Le-ga-lize it."
Yes, people are still being arrested for selling, even consuming, outlawed street drugs, and many members of society are still troubled by, among other things, new psychoactive compounds like the club drug "Molly," which has been blamed for several recent deaths.
And specifically regarding marijuana, the federal government still categorizes it as more harmful than cocaine.

Product fine
There is nothing flimsy about this cable! It is very hefty, and has a good length to it. Unfortunately for me - although this is a great looking product and one that looks like it will do the job for which it is made, I was not able to use it. Apparently, my equipment does not work the way I thought it might; I suspect it is older than I realized and thus incompatible. Oh well.

1 in 3 Americans at Risk for Diabetes
May 26, 2006 - As many as a third of American adults with type 2 diabetes don't even know they have the disease, according to alarming new findings from the National Institutes of Health and the CDC.
Even more disheartening, one in three adults in the U.S. either has diabetes or a prediabetes condition known as impaired glucose tolerance.
That means that 73 million American have the disease or are on their way to getting it, says Catherine Cowie, PhD, of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).
"We knew that there had been an increase in diagnosed cases [of type 2 diabetes]," Cowie tells WebMD. "The hope was that this rise would be counterbalanced by a decline in undiagnosed cases. But that is not what we are seeing."
Blacks, Hispanics Most at Risk
Cowie and colleagues analyzed data from a national survey collected between 1999 and 2002, and compared them to data collected between 1988 and 1994. Participants were asked if they had diabetes, and they were given fasting blood tests to confirm the diagnosis, identify new cases, and identify people with the prediabetes condition.
Among the survey's main findings:
- The prevalence of diagnosed diabetes among adults in the U.S. rose from 5.1% in the early survey to 6.5% in the most recent one.
- The percentage of adults with undiagnosed diabetes remained fairly steady. A total of 2.7% of adults in the U.S. have the disease without knowing it.
- Almost 1 in 4 U.S. adults aged 65 or over -- 22% of elderly Americans -- have diabetes.
- Diabetes was twice as common in blacks and Mexican-Americans as it was in whites.
Type 2 diabetes accounts for about 95% of all diabetes cases, and virtually all undiagnosed cases of the disease. Obesity is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes; age, family history, and sedentary lifestyle also contribute to risk.
Diabetes is the most common cause of blindness, kidney failure, and amputations among adults in the U.S. It is also a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke.

To assure safe and effective use of VERSED Syrup, the following information and instructions should be communicated to the patient when appropriate: 1. Inform your physician about any alcohol consumption and medicine you are now taking, especially blood pressure medication and antibiotics, including drugs you buy without a prescription. Alcohol has an increased effect when consumed with benzodiazepines; therefore, caution should be exercised regarding simultaneous ingestion of alcohol during benzodiazepine treatment, 2. Inform your physician if you are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, 3. Inform your physician if you are nursing, 4. Patients should be informed of the pharmacological effects of VERSED Syrup, such as sedation and amnesia, which in some patients may be profound. The decision as to when patients who have received VERSED Syrup, particularly on an outpatient basis, may again engage in activities requiring complete mental alertness, operate hazardous machinery or drive a motor vehicle must be individualized, 5. VERSED Syrup should not be taken in conjunction with grapefruit juice, and 6. For pediatric patients, particular care should be taken to assure safe ambulation.
Drug Interactions: Inhibitors of CYP3A4 Isozymes: Caution is advised when midazolam is administered concomitantly with drugs that are known to inhibit the cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme system (ie, some drugs in the drug classes of azole antimycotics, protease inhibitors, calcium channel antagonists, and macrolide antibiotics). Drugs such as erythromycin, diltiazem, verapamil, ketoconazole, fluconazole and itraconazole were shown to significantly increase the C max and AUC of orally administered midazolam. These drug interactions may result in increased and prolonged sedation due to a decrease in plasma clearance of midazolam. Although not studied, the potent cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors ritonavir and nelfinavir may cause intense and prolonged sedation and respiratory depression due to a decrease in plasma clearance of midazolam. Caution is advised when VERSED Syrup is used concomitantly with these drugs. Dose adjustments should be considered and possible prolongation and intensity of effect should be anticipated.
Inducers of CYP3A4 Isozymes: Cytochrome P450 inducers, such as rifampin, carbamazepine, and phenytoin, induce metabolism and caused a markedly decreased C max and AUC of oral midazolam in adult studies. Although clinical studies have not been performed, phenobarbital is expected to have the same effect. Caution is advised when administering VERSED Syrup to patients receiving these medications and if necessary dose adjustments should be considered.
CNS Depressants: One case was reported of inadequate sedation with chloral hydrate and later with oral midazolam due to a possible interaction with methylphenidate administered chronically in a 2-year-old boy with a history of Williams syndrome. The difficulty in achieving adequate sedation may have been the result of decreased absorption of the sedatives due to both the gastrointestinal effects and stimulant effects of methylphenidate.
The sedative effect of VERSED Syrup is accentuated by any concomitantly administered medication which depresses the central nervous system, particularly narcotics (eg, morphine, meperidine and fentanyl), propofol, ketamine, nitrous oxide, secobarbital and droperidol. Consequently, the dose of VERSED Syrup should be adjusted according to the type and amount of concomitant medications administered and the desired clinical response.
No significant adverse interactions with common premedications (such as atropine, scopolamine, glycopyrrolate, diazepam, hydroxyzine, and other muscle relaxants) or local anesthetics have been observed.
Midazolam is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to the drug. Benzodiazepines are contraindicated in patients with acute narrow-angle glaucoma. Benzodiazepines may be used in patients with open-angle glaucoma only if they are receiving appropriate therapy. Measurements of intraocular pressure in patients without eye disease show a moderate lowering following induction with Midazolam; patients with glaucoma have not been studied.
Midazolam is not intended for intrathecal or epidural administration due to the presence of the preservative benzyl alcohol in the dosage form.

Bela Szandelszky, Associated Press
CAIRO — Egyptian security forces clashed with protesters camped outside the Cabinet building Saturday, leaving one man dead, as tensions rose two days ahead of parliamentary elections being held despite mass demonstrations against military rule.
The violence occurred as a wave of protests against military rule was given extra impetus by the Egyptian military's decision on Friday to appoint a Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzouri who served under deposed President Hosni Mubarak.
The Obama administration has increased pressure on Egypt's military rulers, who took over from Mubarak, to transfer power to civilian leaders throwing its support behind protesters massed on Cairo's central Tahrir Square for more than a week.
More than 100,000 demonstrators packed into the square on Friday in the biggest rally since the current unrest began. They rejected el-Ganzouri's appointment and presented an alternative to el-Ganzouri. By midday Saturday, the crowd size dwindled to some 5,000.
Twenty-four protest groups, including two political parties, have announced they are creating their own "national salvation" government to be headed by Nobel Peace laureate Mohamed ElBaradei with deputies from across the political spectrum to which they demanded the military hand over power.
Egyptian state TV said that the head of the ruling military council Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi met separately with ElBaradei and another presidential hopeful Amr Moussa, who was the former Arab League chief, on Saturday, but it gave no details.
Hundreds also set up camp outside the Cabinet building, spending the night in blankets and tents to prevent the 78-year-old politician from entering to take up his new post. Early Saturday, they clashed with security forces who allegedly tried to disperse them.
An Associated Press cameraman saw three police troop carriers and an armored vehicle firing tear gas as they were being chased from the site by rock-throwing protesters.
The man who was killed was run over by one of the vehicles, but there were conflicting accounts about the circumstances surrounding the death.
The Interior Ministry expressed regret for the death of the protester, identified as Ahmed Serour, and said it was an accident. Police didn't intend to storm the sit-in but were merely heading to the Interior Ministry headquarters, located behind the Cabinet building, when they came under attack by angry protesters throwing firebombs, it said in a statement. The ministry claimed security forces were injured and the driver of one of the vehicles panicked and ran over the protester.
One of the protesters, Mohammed Zaghloul, 21, said he saw six security vehicles heading to their site.
"It became very tense, rock throwing started and the police cars were driving like crazy," he said. "Police threw one tear gas canister and all of a sudden we saw our people carrying the body of a man who was bleeding really badly."
Officials say more than 40 people have been killed across the country since Nov. 19, when the unrest began after a small sit-in by protesters injured during the 18-day uprising that ousted Mubarak was violently broken up by security forces. That led to days of clashes, which ended with a truce on Thursday. It wasn't clear if the melee on Saturday was an isolated incident or part of new violence by security forces trying to clear the way for the new prime minister, and protesters frustrated by what they believe are the military's efforts to perpetuate the old regime.
"El-Ganzouri was pulled out of his grave. He was a dead man," said a 39-year-old employee Ahmad Anas as chants against the head of the military council rang outside the Cabinet building: "Tantawi and el-Ganzouri are choking me." A banner hanging over the building gates read: "closed until execution of field marshal."

Metsae Group Makes Biggest Investment in Wood-Fueled Mill
Metsae Fibre Oy is planning the largest-ever investment in the Finnish forest industry -- a wood-fueled mill to make pulp and other bio-products as well as generate energy.
The company, a unit of the Finnish forest-industry cooperative Metsae Group, will invest 1.1 billion euros ($1.5 billion) in the facility, to be located at an existing mill area in Aeaenekoski, the Espoo-based company said in a statement today. It's due to start up in 2017 and will produce 1.3 million metric tons of pulp a year. All the energy required at the mill will be generated from wood and no fossil fuels will be used, the company said.
"The global increase in the demand for high-quality softwood pulp is the most important driver for the investment," Chief Executive Officer Kari Jordan said in the statement. "The investment will support Metsae Fibre's growth and improve profitability in the long term."
The mill will boost annual exports by about 500 million euros for the Finnish economy, which is struggling to revive after contracting in three of the past five years. The northernmost euro member's forestry companies have reduced 28 percent of their workforce in the past decade and closed mills in response to overcapacity in the European paper market, according to the Finnish Forest Industries Federation.
Industry's Courage
The plan is an "excellent example of the courage of our traditional industry to renew and look into the future," Economy Minister Jan Vapaavuori said in an e-mailed statement.
"Investments like this will bear fruit through job creation and economic growth, and they will instill confidence in the future," Labor Minister Lauri Ihalainen said in a statement. Aeaenekoski, with an unemployment rate of about 20 percent, has been one of the worst-hit regions in Finland, he said.
As online media has crimped demand for newsprint, the industry has sought to branch off into different markets. As well as tapping into growing pulp demand, UPM-Kymmene Oyj this year introduced a prototype car using wood-based materials in a bid to replace plastic and Stora Enso Oyj is building a 1.6 billion-euro consumer board mill in Guangxi as it bets China's growing middle class will need more containers for foodstuffs.
Pulp Exports
Finnish pulp exports will rise as much as 6 percent this year while paper sales abroad are set for a fourth consecutive year of decline, research institute PTT forecast on April 3.
Metsae Fibre is owned by Metsaeliitto Cooperative with a 50.2 percent stake. The remaining shares are held by Metsae Board Oyj and Itochu Corp with 24.9 percent each. Metsae Group produces tissue, cartonboard, pulp, wood products and forestry services through its units.
The investment will provide an additional 1,500 jobs in the forest industry on top of the existing 1,000 at the site, Jordan told reporters in Helsinki. The final investment decision will be made early next year after environmental permit processes are completed, Metsae Group said.
