The Jakarta Post
The Sultan Syarif Kasim (SSK) II Airport expansion project in Pekanbaru, Riau, is nearing completion, with a new terminal spanning 17,000 square meters and a more spacious aircraft apron.
Riau Governor Rusli Zainal said the provincial administration, through the state and provincial budgets, had set aside Rp 50 billion (US$5.85 million) to build the new apron, which can accommodate 10 wide-body aircraft, twice the capacity of the old apron. "The new terminal can be in operation by the end of the month," Zainal said Tuesday.
According to Zainal, the airport expansion is expected to be finished by the end of the year so it can facilitate two sporting events in Riau, the 18th National Games in 2012 and the Islamic Solidarity Games in 2013.
"The new airport is also in line with the planned haj embarkation terminal project. Riau is expected to have its own haj embarkation terminal by 2013 and will no longer rely on Hang Nadim Airport [in Batam]," he said.
To meet the technical requirements of a world-class airport, Zainal said the airport runway would be extended from 2,200 meters to 2,600 meters. According to Zainal, land acquisition amounting to Rp 19 billion was complete.
"Another Rp 20 billion will be allocated next year for land acquisition to extend the runway up to 3,000 meters so as to facilitate the landing of wide-body planes," he said.
SSK II Airport's state-run airport management firm PT Angkasa Pura II general manager Anggono Raras said the airport expansion, which cost Rp 165 billion, aimed at improving facilities for airport passengers, who had reached 2.5 million, or twice the annual capacity of 1.2 million.
"The new airport is designed to serve 4 million passengers annually and is poised to become the busiest and third largest airport in the western part of Indonesia, after Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta and Polonia Airport in Medan," Anggoro said.
In Bandung, West Java, the Indonesian Air Force at Husein Sastranegara Airport is studying the capacity of the airport, which is also serving international and domestic flights.
Husein Sastranegara airbase commander Col. Umar Sugeng Haryono said the capacity of the airport was limited, unlike other airbases such as Adisucipto Airport in Yogyakarta.
Sugeng said an analysis of the maximum capacity of the airport needed to be conducted so the increasing flights could be adjusted to the airport's capacity and available facilities. "The size is very limited. This is just an Air Force base," Sugeng said Tuesday.
Sugeng said so far commercial flights at the airbase were served in a joint-operation with PT Angkasa Pura II. The Air Force is trying to help with the airport's development in accordance with the economic needs of the provincial administration, he said.
But, according to Sugeng, every additional flight must still be coordinated with the Air Force.
"We must look at the ability to prevent overcapacity, be it the apron or supporting facilities because many factors are related to flight operations," he said.
PT Angkasa Pura II airport operational head Soetrisno said many flight slots to and from the airport were still vacant, so additional flight schedules could be adjusted with the vacant slots.
The airport currently has 30 take-offs and landings, 12 of which are international flights to and from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Singapore, while the other 18 are domestic flights.

English Muffalo Bread
Browndog got me motivated with her gooey cheesy egg and fake sausage sandwich made with Katie/BlueZebra's Sourdough English muffin recipe. I took one step in a different direction and made a loaf..2 words, EASY and YUMMY! I followed their directions until it came time to roll out the dough to cut into rounds. I greased and dusted a 4 1/2"x8 1/2" loaf pan with semolina and poured the dough in, let rise for an hour and baked at 400 for 30 minutes. Oh..and my title came from my childhood name for these wonderful muffins..silly, but I like it.
PS..I have done this post twice and can't figure out why I get 2 pictures?? Sorry

RNC Chair Reince Priebus, GOP Look to 2012
Tuesday, January 18, 2011
Reince Priebus was elected the GOP's new chairman on Friday, replacing Michael Steele. He alreday has his sites set on the 2012 presidential election, and taking down Barack Obama. Todd Zwillich, The Takeaway's Washington correspondent gives us some background on Priebus. And Ron Christie, CEO of Republican Christie Strategies and the author of "Acting White: The Curious History of a Racial Slur," said on our show last week he thought the new leader would be Saul Anuzis or Maria Cino. He'll share his surprise with us about the choice of Priebus, and how he thinks it will shape the GOP.
Who Will Be the Next RNC Chair?
Friday, January 14, 2011
Conservatives from across the country have convened in Washington this week to elect the next Republican National Committee Chair. With the 2012 presidential election right around the corner, Republican officials are looking for a leader who can rally the base, attract new voters and, of course, raise money. Michael Steele, the current RNC chair, doesn't seem to have enough support to win a second term, although he has in some ways raised the profile of the office during his term. What else does the RNC Chair need to ensure a GOP win in 2012?
The Future of the RNC Chair Michael Steele
Tuesday, December 14, 2010
On a conference call with members of the Republican National Committee last night, Michael Steele ended several months of speculation and announced he will run again for chair of the RNC. His term as chairman has been marked by personal gaffes, attacks from prominent Republicans calling for his head, but also significant GOP pickups in both houses of Congress.

Orders are Orders
For many Israelis, the Presidential election in America had a special urgency because of the increasing nuclear threat from Iran, and the hope that Romney would take a more militant stance than Obama. I wrote a short story on the tragedy of looking to America for our salvation, which appears in my award-winner collection of short stories, "Days of Mashiach" which was translated and published in France this year by a non-Jewish publisher, with reviewers comparing me to Voltaire and the famous fable writer, Jean de la Fontaine. Big deal. Anyway, enjoy the story, and for readers who value true Jewish literature, I invite you to check out some of my other books at Amazon.
By Tzvi Fishman
For the third time that day, Izzy was looking through the snapshots his wife had sent him when a rock richocheted off the guard tower. Outside in the dimming twilight, he couldn't see a thing. It wasn't the first time that a rock had hit the tower during his three months on the isolated Samaria hilltop. Arab kids had nothing better to do than throw rocks at Jewish soldiers. To be on the safe side, the young Israeli tightened the strap of his helmet. Orders were orders. And in the army, safety came first.
His gaze turned back to the pictures. How happy his son looked at his first birthday party, as if he understood its significance. Izzy had asked for a special leave to attend the celebration, but since he had only one week remaining in his Hesder army service, the request had been denied.
"Pang!" "Pang!" "Pang!"
Smashing against the metal guard tower, the rocks sounded like bullets. Down below, at the crest of the hill, on the other side of the sheep pen, a group of dark figures had gathered. Izzy stuck his rifle out the window in warning. Just to be sure, he called his two buddies, who were out patrolling the area in a jeep. Some people thought the settlers were irresponsible for staying put on remote hilltops like these during the Intifada, but Izzy didn't agree. Israel was the land of the Jews, and a Jew had the right to live wherever he chose. It was the job of the government and the army to protect its citizens, whether they lived in Netanya or Hevron.
To his way of thinking, the situation was absolutely absurd. So what if a Jew wanted to live in a cabin on a desolate hill in the heartland of biblicalIsrael. Why should the whole world make such a fuss over it? Why should it bother foreign presidents and kings? Didn't they have better things to worry about than what a handful of Jews were doing on the other side of the globe?
The twenty-one year old soldier tried his best not to think about it too much. Instead, he studied Gemara whenever he could. He spoke to his wife every day. In a week, he'd be finished with being away in the army, and he could get down to being a father to his one-year old boy.
When a brick smashed through the thick plastic pane of the window, Izzy instinctively ducked. Down on the hillside, a mob of Arabs was advancing his way. Across the dirt road, on the roof of the small wooden cabin, an Arab youth was hauling down the Israeli flag. As luck would have it, the settler who lived on the one-man yishuv was off at a wedding. Besides the barking dog, Izzy was the only defender on the remote, windswept givah.
Figuring he may need some back-up, he phoned his friends in the jeep, but they were being stoned too.
"We're on our way," they told him.
Rocks pounding the guard tower reverberated like popcorn popping in a microwave oven. Izzy fired off a few shots in the air to warn off the attackers, but the Arabs continued to advance on the tower. Like the good soldier he was, he wouldn't fire at them until he received a direct order. His rabbis had taught him that the government of Israelwas holy, the Israeli army was holy, and so was its chain of command. Calling his Mem-kaf, he described the situation and requested permission to shoot.Tzvi Fishman

well since the sight of a gun makes some GFWs upset,i'm sure the sound does the same so maybe amc is trying to not upset anyone..
they're doing alot more with censoring these days..not only do they bleep out any bad words but also make it so you can't even read the lips..:rolleyes:

A little off topic, but I was watching Liar Liar on USA the other day and they replaced "fart" with "fool" but they left "bastard" alone???
April 27, 2008, 09:59 PM
Well, in many of the scenes with gun fire, there's also some pretty graphic language. I guess to get rid of the language, they have to get rid of the gunfire.

290M cash/debt situation switched around from Q3 to q4.
Deckers had 60M in cash and 260M in debt after Q3 earnings. After last earnings, cash became 133M and debt became just 35M. Deckers also still HAD 75M cash to buy back shares.
This has been a nice, long, cold winter. 35% of float still short(INSANE, but they are trapped and trying to get out with the least pain). Deckers was thought to be a "fad"(by blind people apparently).
But q4 proved that UGGS are anything but a fad. Over 1B in boots sold. So the 75% of erasure in value was clearly overkill and unwarranted. Now that the two worst possible things that could have happened to this company have happened(consecutive rise in sheepskin costs colliding with a warm winter for two years), this company has the wind at its back.
This company is printing more than 290M in cash/year, trading at just 2B valuation(with 133M on the books and 75M in cash on top of the cash on the books being used to buy back shares). Lululemon is printing just 180M YOY in comparison at its highest growth point(30% whihc is going to inevitably decline). Deckers is printing this kind of cash IN A BAD YEAR with its worst earnings in two years!).
Watch these two companies criss-cross each other in the next 24 months(deckers on the upps, and lululemon on the downside). Switching positions.
Welcome back Indian !

"All things nocturnal and furry come alive in this unusual story of a baby bat learning about his surroundings. After a fall from his customary perch, and with Pluribus the rat as his guide, the little bat encounters all of the other critters—many are eyeless insects—that rely on bats for their survival. The baby bat welcomes his mother's eventual return from foraging, but he also prizes his newfound independence. Fascinating scientific tidbits are made palatable and entertaining." (February, p. 77)ForeWord Book Reviews-February/March 2012
"Halfmann adeptly defines terms such as "stalactites," "stalagmites," and "guano" in context, and the factual material is nicely integrated into the story. At the end of their explorations, Pluribus returns Baby Bat to his nursery. Bersani's mixed-media artwork, predominately spreads, appears to be a combination of paint and pencil. Shades of brown, gray, and black create a realistic-looking interior. Light emitted from Pluribus's flashlight draws attention to the other critters, while emotions can be seen in the facial expressions of Pluribus and Baby Bat. Four pages of additional information for classroom lessons and activities are included. Children fascinated by bats and who grasp information better through a plotline rather than through straightforward nonfiction should find this an intriguing read."School Library Journal
"The tale of Baby Bat and life in his cave is a fun, vibrant look at critters whose lives depend on having the bat in their habitat."Feathered Quill Book Reviews

A Thousand Tiny Pieces: The Federal Circuit's Fractured Myriad Ruling, Lessons to Be Learned, and the Way Forward
Jonathan Stroud

IP Theory, Vol. 3, 2012
American University, WCL Research Paper
The Supreme Court granted, vacated, and remanded the infamous Ass'n of Molecular Pathology v. U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (Myriad I), gene-isolation patentability case to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) in light of the recent Prometheus decision, which held 9-0 that a certain diagnostic method was invalid subject matter because it was an abstract idea merely modified by other obvious steps. This Article argues that Myriad should be affirmed again by the Federal Circuit, particularly in light of Prometheus, in order to inject certainty, clarity, and consistency into the § 101 patentable subject matter jurisprudence.

Good things come to those who wait.
And wait and wait and wait, in the case of Marc Jacobs' fall show. Editors, retailers and Hollywood starlets — A to C list alike — grumbled, sweated and seethed through a 90-minute delay at the designer's presentation Feb. 7. He'd been late before, but this was a whole new level of tardiness. Jacobs then galvanized the crowd by sending out a collection that many considered to be his boldest stroke since the grunge presentation shook up New York's fashion foundation in 1993.
Some heralded Jacobs' study in volume and broody aesthetic as a major directional change for him, and also one sure to send influential ripples throughout the industry. But already irate about the delay, some didn't necessarily buy into that. Undeniably, though, however people reacted to the show — with glee or outrage — they felt passionately so. While Bergdorf Goodman's Robert Burke thought it was a "brilliant" collection, another retailer sniped, "It looked like clothes for 'The Addams Family.'"
Realizing that some sort of response to the subsequent media maelstrom was due, Jacobs posted an apology of sorts on marcjacobs.com within 48 hours. "The Marc Jacobs spring-summer 2006 collection show will be held Sept. 12 at 9 p.m. Please be advised the show is running approximately 1 1/2 hours late." The company's president, Robert Duffy, further elaborated that they meant no disrespect. "We felt bad and are sorry," he told WWD. "I thought, let's lighten up a little bit."
But still, Jacobs' show sparked a fashion powder keg. Was the show system out of control with celebs edging out industry people for front-row tickets, tardy starts and a congested lineup? Or do editors, buyers and retailers need to just shut up and do their job regardless of the inconvenience? In an interview with WWDThe Magazine, Jacobs stood his ground. "I moan and I complain about the things I don't like to do, too. But I do them," he said. "I can't manipulate the entire calendar just to weasel my way out of things that are responsibilities and obligations."
Nobody was complaining in mid-March, though, when Jacobs threw a major bash to inaugurate a collection boutique and Marc by Marc Jacobs door in Los Angeles, 3,500 square feet and 2,500 square feet, respectively. To herald the occasion, Hollywood's finest mingled with Jacobs' New York chums at the fete, festooned with 600,000 fresh roses. A week later, Jacobs jetted down to Florida to christen a Bal Harbour site. But why stop there? By yearend, a Las Vegas door would be opened, and plans solidified for San Francisco and London stores in 2006.

When September's fall fashion week rolled into town, those same people who groused their way through the spring show held their collective breath, waiting to see if there would be a repeat in both wait time and design impact. Jacobs seemed to gamble against himself, as if saying: "I'll see my amazing fashion show, and raise myself one with the Penn State marching band."
To boot, he pushed the show from 9 p.m. to 8 p.m., a time slot that he stuck to — more or less. (Starting at 8.30 p.m., his was one of the most on-time shows of the week.) It was a thoroughly de-prissed, structured take on American chic, furthering spring's volume and somber motif and throwing in a little of his favorite muse: the school girl gone bad. She and Jacobs make a great pair — they'll always do things their way.

Condo and retail project near Civic Center gets OK from Planning Commission
Construction is expected to begin on a $75 million condo and retail project in the heart of Long Beach next fall after the property is cleared of a run-down office building and a storm drain is rerouted along Pacific Avenue and West Third Street,
The Long Beach Planning Commission approved a site review plan for the 222-unit condo and retail project at its Thursday meeting.
James Barron, project manager for developer Broadway Property Company LLC, said an old 84-inch storm drain pipe system that runs across the property must first be removed and rerouted before permits can be pulled for construction. The property is surrounded by West Broadway to the south and West Third Street to the north, and Pacific Avenue to the east and Cedar Avenue to the west.
"This will be a 2 ½-year process," said Barron of the project.
The old, four-story office building at the site, previously used by the state, will be demolished. It has been mostly vacant since 1999 and is surrounded by chain-link fencing today, city documents say.
The housing development at 245 West Broadway, a parcel across from the Civic Center, also includes 8,500 square feet of commercial space. Renderings show that it includes a café, a gallery and a bike and pet wash on ground level.
The seven-story building also will have 289 parking stalls in a three-level garage. The development is designed so that the parking spaces are underground or surrounded by structures. The garage won't be directly visible from the street, city documents say.
There are four townhouses, 10 lofts, 26 studios, 142 one-bedroom units, and 40 two-bedroom units. There also is a rooftop seating area with a fireplace, fitness center, a courtyard at the center of the project, and a fourth-floor pool. There's a "glassy" tower at one corner of the parcel that was included as a design element, Barron said. At 109 feet tall, it's the highest point in the development.
."It'll give a shot in the arm to Pacific and Broadway," said Kraig Kojian, president and CEO of Downtown Long Beach Associates, who spoke in support of the project at the Planning Commission.

comfortable, loved the roomsI was upset that there was no room service, and the breakfast room wasnt very cozy...but aside from those two small complaints, I loved it. The rooms were awesome! They had great TVs, and the bed was VERY comfortable. I was also very impressed with the kitchenette. There was a refrigerator and a microwave, and even a dishwasher! They also had a really nice pool area. Comment from the hotels management Posted: 22-Oct-09 Dear Valued Guest, Im sorry you were upset with the no room service and found the breakfast room not to be very cozy. I am glad that you enjoyed your room and the other parts of the hotel. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Thank you for your comments, Tami Barocio, General ManagerRating:5
Will definately stay againOur accomodations at this hotel were fantastic. It met our specific needs totally. We are planning a trip back again in April of 2010 and will stay at this hotel again. Thank You Comment from the hotels management Posted: 13-Oct-09 Dear Valued Guest, We thank you for choosing Hotel Sierra. Im thrilled to know our hotel met your needs and expectations. We look forward to seeing you again soon in April! In hospitality, Tami Barocio, General ManagerRating:5
Pleasant Stay at Hotel Sierra BellevueI enjoyed a pleasant 3 day stay at the Hotel Sierra Bellevue which was uneventful - just as I like it. No fuss, no problems. Everything was as it should be. I particularly liked the big screen TV on a swivel stand so it could be viewed from anywhere in the room. And the complimentary breakfasts with omelettes made to order were very good. The only negative - a minor one - is that the hotel is a bit hard to find from the freeway. If youre going, be sure to get directions first. Otherwise, a very nice place indeed. Comment from the hotels management Posted: 13-Oct-09 Dear Valued Guest, Im pleased to hear you had a pleasant stay at Hotel Sierra Bellevue! Its always great to hear everything was "as it should be". We truly value the opinion of our guests and thank you for sharing your comments. We hope to see you again soon! In hospitality, Tami Barocio, General ManagerRating:5
Great place Great staff Great breakfast!We discovered this hotel thru Expedia. We were looking for a reasonably priced/clean place to stay in Seattle for a Seahawk game. (not an easy thing to do). We were pleasantly surprised. The weekend price included a hot buffet breakfast with a great room and a nice comfortable bed, and the Park and Ride was right across the street.The only negative is the "restaurant/lounge" is only open a short time and there is nothing close by to go do. We will continue to stay here until they wise up and raise the price :) Comment from the hotels management Posted: 13-Oct-09 Dear Valued Guest, We are delighted to hear Hotel Sierra was above your expectations. Its always nice to discover something new, and we thank you for choosing to stay with us! We look forward to seeing you again soon for the next Seahawk game!

Good hotel to stayThis is the second time for me to stay at this hotel. Last time was in standard room and this time is in Studio suite. I enjoyed both stays but I really love the suite. This hotel is really clean and located at good location. I sleep late so I couldnt check the breakfast. I hope that they serve the food a bit longer on weekend (although breakfast ends at 10:00 is most common for all hotes). I really like this hote and probably will be back sometimes. One request for standard room is refrigerator. It is nice to have. Comment from the hotels management Posted: 7-Oct-09 Dear Valued Guest, Ive read your review and are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Hotel Sierra. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Even better than expectedStayed at Hotel Sierra for my birthday after a seeing a show in Seattle. Checked in at almost midnight yet they had no problem giving us a 2pm checkout. We enjoyed the king suite with full-size appliances and granite countertops, hot breakfast with made-to-order omlettes, plus pool and jacuzzi. While the pool was a little on the small side, there was a grill for use outside the pool area. We will definitely go back when were in the Seattle area. Convenient to the freeway (although a little noise if in a room facing it) and far less expensive than any Seattle hotel. Small touches like blackout curtains, robes, kitchen utensils, and many modern amenities knocked our socks off. You wont be disappointed. Comment from the hotels management Posted: 7-Oct-09 Dear Valued Guest, Im thrilled your stay at Hotel Sierra was beyond what you expected! It is great to hear your compliments and welcome you back during your next stay! In hospitality, Tami Barocio, General ManagerRating:4
Affordable weekend alternative to downtown hotelsThis was a very affordable weekend alternative to staying in expensive downtown hotels. Rooms were very comfortable and well-appointed. People should realize it is near a busy highway, but the white noise heater/ac was fine in covering road noise. Generous breakfast is included; room it is served in can get pretty crowded on busy morning. Not a bad drive to get into downtown or other city locations. Comment from the hotels management Posted: 7-Oct-09 Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for staying at Hotel Sierra during your stay in Bellevue. We are happy to hear you enjoyed our hotel, the location, and amenities. We hope to see you again soon in the near future! In hospitality, Tami Barocio, General ManagerRating:5
Long stay...My girlfriend and I stayed for 9 days at this hotel. It was a long period, but the stay was very comfortable. Everything seemed to be sufficient and complete... EXCEPT for a refrigerator! We really wanted one to store some fruits, salads and drinks, but apparently they didnt give us one, so that was kinda disappointing. The pool was clean and whirlpool was awesome. When we went to the pool, no one was there, so it was quite romantic. We also had some leftovers from dinners so we asked the front desk to use their microwave, and they were really nice about it. Comment from the hotels management Posted: 24-Sep-09 Dear Valued Guest, Its oftentimes hard to find that comfortable place for extended periods of time and we are thrilled to know your nine day stay was comfortable! We thank you for posting your comments and hope to see you again soon next time you travel to the area! Sincerely, Tami Barocio, General ManagerRating:5
Great new-tech HotelWe loved staying here. Very clean and comfortable rooms. Plasma TV and Ipod dock w/radio/alarm and white noise. Wonderful breakfast and friendly staff. They even remembered how I liked my omelet the next day!
Travelers tipIt was close to the freeway, and since we had friends in Renton, Bellevue and Seattle it was quick to get around. Comment from the hotels management Posted: 24-Sep-09 Dear Valued Guest, We are glad you found our hotel and the service to be great! We do hope you decide to stay at Hotel Sierra again in the future!

A Great Place To StayWe were quite impressed with this hotel. Clean rooms, very friendly staff, great breakfast, nice laundry facilities. Will absolutely stay here again. The Park And Ride bus station is across the street from the hotels back door, and it worked out great to take the express bus into downtown Seattle. Comment from the hotels management Posted: 24-Sep-09 Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for naming Hotel Sierra "a great place to stay!" We truly appreciate all of your comments and hope to see you back with us again. In hospitality, Tami Barocio, General ManagerRating:5
Nice Rooms and Great Staff!Great full breakfast and the rooms are very clean. The front desk attendant was very helpful and upgraded our room to one with a kitchen since we were travelling with small children. We didnt use the pool but it had a great indoor pool. Outside the lounge area is a nice outdoor seating area with a fire pit.
Travelers tip on shoppingBellevue Square is about a ten minute easy drive and the Nordstrom Rack / good dining on the opposite side of the Interstate. Comment from the hotels management Posted: 9-Sep-09 Dear Valued Guest, We are glad that Hotel Sierra was able to make your stay in the area helpful. Thank you for all of your comments. We hope to see you back soon. Yours in hospitality, Tami Barocio, General ManagerRating:2
Size of a closetI had stayed at this same hotel a month ago and everything was perfect ample space. My party then had 5 separate rooms and everyone seemed please with their lodging. I decided to book again since I needed to stay in the same area.However the hotel put me in a closet sized room. Nothing like I or my family had before. Disapointing. Comment from the hotels management Posted: 7-Oct-09 Dear Valued Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on your stay. It sounds like you were in suites for your first experience with us and in a standard guest room the second time around. I am more than happy to upgrade you for your next visit to Hotel Sierra Bellevue. I love the suite style too! Yours in hospitality, Tami Barocio, General ManagerRating:5
Clean and Great BreakfastEasy access off of hwy. Clean large rooms. Get a room above 5th floor on the west side and you can see the Seattle skyline on a clear day.Rating:5
An excellent hotel with friendly staffFor the price, this was way beyond what I expected. Clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff eager to help and knowledgeable about the area, and an excellent free breakfast buffet. I only wish Id had a chance to try the pool.Rating:5
EASTSIDES BESTTHIS IS THE SPOT IF YOU WANT TO RELAX AND HAVE A ROMANTIC WEEKEND. LOVE THE RESTAURANT/BAR ESPECIALLY THE BUTTER GARLIC WINGS!Rating:5
Excellent place to stay in BellevueThis is a newer hotel and it is a rathar quiet location. Not in town bot easy to get to the major highways and other shopping. The rooms were great! We got a 2 room suite with a sofa bed in the living room/kitchen area. The kids had fun watching TV in their room and we could have some privacy in the master bedroom. The indoor pool was very nice as well as the hot tub. The breakfast every morning was great! I had omelets made for me every morning! And the coffee was very good! I will definitely stay here again! These are much better accomodations that downtown Seattle, for the price. Very easy to get on I-90 to get into Seattle. Not far from reasonable places to eat.Rating:5
Tremendous ValueI would highly recommend the Hotel Sierra in Bellvue. The hotel beds were fantastic, there was plenty of free parking and the full breakfast including made to order omlettes make this hotel a great choice. I would definitely stay here again!Rating:3
Accomadation ProblemHotel was nice but we did not get the room that we prepaid for. When I brought this up at the front desk they didnt really care and did nothing to remedy the situation. When we returned home, I emailed the Hotel Sierra corporate offices through their web site and they never responded back. They have a nice web site but it appears that nobody really wants to acknowledge what happens at their properties.
Travelers tip on diningGood Breakfast available at the hotel. Afternoon session was really crowded with no place to sit and enjoy your beverage.Rating:5
Best Hotel in BellevueEverything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. It is centrally located to the interstate system, shopping, dining,public transportation,and downtown Seattle. Our room was very comfortable and clean. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. We will stay at this hotel the next time we are in the Seattle area.

Vt. sells $10.3M in transportation bondsJuly 30,2013
Staff Report
MONTPELIER - The state sold $10.3 million in transportation bonds Tuesday, which will allow Vermont to leverage more than $64 million in federal funds for road and bridge repairs, the state Treasurer's office announced Tuesday.
"Funds raised through the bond sale allows the state to match federal fund requirements for 17 projects, six of the projects associated with Tropical Storm Irene," State Treasurer Beth Pearce said.
Among the more than $75 million in road and bridge improvements are replacement of bridges in Brighton, Hancock, Jamaica, and Plymouth that were damaged in Tropical Storm Irene.
Another bridge in Bennington will be rehabilitated. Other projects include the replacement of interstate bridges in Brattleboro, Milton and Windsor. State bridges in Bristol and Cambridge also will be replaced. Roadway projects include the construction of an alternate truck route on Route 100 in Morristown and road reconstruction and safety improvements in Brandon, Montpelier, Rutland City and White River Junction.
Work on projects is already underway or will begin during fiscal year 2014.
Moody's Investors Service rated the bonds as Aa2 and Fitch Ratings rated the bonds as AA, both with a stable outlook. Standard and Poor's rated the bonds AA+ with a positive outlook.
Transportation bonds carry a slightly lower rating than general obligation bonds. Vermont has the highest general obligation bond rating available, AAA and Aaa, by Fitch and Moody's respectively, and the second highest rating of AA+ by Standard & Poor's.

OUR HOME: Our fully furnished and richly decorated 2-bedroom, 1 bathroom 'Beethoven's Hideaway' crowns the top of an historic California Craftsman duplex -- a 1000 square-foot treasure situated only minutes from the ocean (right down our cross street). The private patio offers a distant view of the silver-blue Santa Monica Bay and Mountains -- and you can pick lemons right off our lemon tree from the deck! The apartment is filled with Italian art and has
recently been exquisitely renovated with a respect for historical detail. It features new hardwood floors, Persian carpets, new furniture and fixtures. The apartment also offers central air conditioning available for an additional $10/day.
PLEASE ENJOY OUR YOUTUBE VIDEO FEATURING BEETHOVEN'S HIDEAWAY (paste the following link to your address bar in your browser):
The large and airy master bedroom features casement windows (morning light) and a walk-in closet, reading nook and cedar linen chest. The equally large and sunny second bedroom, which can also be used as an office, includes a writing desk facing the casement windows (afternoon light) with a view of the neighborhood, and a beautiful studio upright piano in excellent condition (ideal for musicians).
Our cozy den features a new reclining armchair and sofa that can pull out to an additional guest bed, along with a widescreen hi-def television complete with DirecTV premium channels, DVD player, and a 5-CD stereo.
French doors in the den open to a spacious outside patio deck with a distant view of the mountains and ocean. The deck overlooks a charming backyard (lit by lanterns at night) that is home to our lemon and orange treesand framed by bougainvillea, a trickling fountain and an herb garden.
Laundry facilities are in a separate backyard cabin and are shared with the downstairs tenants. Entrance to the apartment is via a private stairway off the backyard.
OUR BACKYARD: The HIdeaway overlooks our bougainvillea and beautifully green and flowering backyard gardens with Italian fountains and fruit trees (a real hit with the hummingbirds!). After a day of sightseeing you can relax on the upper deck, pick a few lemons from our tress and make our own 'secret recipe' lemonade for a delicious salute to your day. Or, rustle up dinner on our charcoal barbecue, with all supplies provided. We also offer a laundry cabina in the backyard, with washer and dryer and complementary detergent and softener.
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD: Our lovely street and neighborhood is far less congested and noisy than properties right on the beach -- and you don't have to spend 20 minutes hunting for a space to park (as you do by the beach) -- WE OFFER FREE RESERVED OFF-STREET PARKING as well as COMPLIMENTARY BIKES to ride to the ocean or explore the neighborhood and the BUS TO THE BEACH stops right at the corner -- just steps from your door!
We are just minutes from Venice and Santa Monica Beaches and the famous Venice Canals, which are directly down our street. Venice Beach is a 20 minute walk, 10 minutes by bike. Cinemas, cares, shopping and freeways all within 5 minutes. The Santa Monica Pier and Promenade is only 9 minutes by car.
Entertainment journalist, author and filmmaker. Harvard College graduate. Passions include film, piano, literature (Shakespeare especially), Italy and travel. Speaker of English, Italian, some French and German.
James Ulmer purchased this house in 2001
A TERRIFIC AREA where the traffic and parking is not nearly as congested and stressful as at the beach traffic yet is only minutes away from the ocean. We're also very convenient to the cafes, cinemas, boutiques and shopping of the wonderful West side. A great location in what is already a world-class 'destination location.' Lovely backyard and patio deck, too!
Complementary reserved off-street parking -- a hard commodity to find in the beach area! Complementary use of 3 bikes to ride to the beach or explore the neighborhood -- or simply take the beach bus on the corner. Peaceful and quiet backyard terra-cotta patio (with charcoal BBQ) framed by bougainvillea and fountains looking out onto our lovely backyard garden and fruit trees. Complementary high-speed (6 megabyte) internet & Wi-Fi & 42' cable TV. During your home orientation when you arrive, James can also serve as your 'virtual concierge' to help you plan your stay in LA.
Such a lovely apartment, top floor of a house with a terrace surrounded by greenery. Parking is in the driveway. It's very easy to find thanks to mapquest, not too far from Santa Monica, comfortable, clean, cute, quiet, easy
access, the nearest beach is 5 minutes by car, it is cleaner and quieter than Venice itself where you can park
free in the street with a little luck, rent bikes, rollerblades. James is friendly and discreet. A golden address! -- Catherine Bellemere, Paris, France
Beethoven's hideaway really deserves its name! It is indeed a lovely quiet place hidden somewhere in the middle of Santa Monica, close to all touristic attractions of the area. Its proximity to Venice Beach makes it particularly interesting, though not accessible by walking (unless you are a very good walker!). On the other hand, the presence of some very nice restaurants in walking distance is a great advantage.
The apartment is very nicely decorated, perfectly equipped and very comfortable to live in. We stayed there for 3 nights as a family with young kids and everybody was rapidly feeling home!
Beethoven's Hideaway is a nice upper floor apartment with all the facilities you need. There was even a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival. The host, James Ulmer, was very amenable.
The apartment gets rather hot, so it is necessary to switch on the air con, which costs another $10 per day. There is a car parking space, but it is quite difficult to manoeuvre the car backwards in or out, as you can't turn round once in. There is usually parking on the road outside, though. The eating nearby is largely fast-food.
In summary, the apartment is great, but you will definitely need a car to get around for shopping and quality meals.
The landscaping, availability of bikes, the decor, the helpful hints of where to go and what to do- it was all lovely. I felt like I had successfully chosen the right place for our stay.
From the moment we booked the property the owner was amazing and could not do enough to ensure everything went smoothly in the whole process. On arrival, we were welcomed by the owner who ensured that everything was clearly arranged to make our stay comfortable and relaxing.
The location was in a quiet area of LA with all amenities within easy access.
Having travel a lot around the world this was great accomodation and made our trip to the USA complete.
We really lucked out this time. We could not have found a more helpful and charming host nor cosier and more well situated accommodation. Beethoven's Hideaway does feel like a retreat from the big city but is also perfectly placed to explore all LA has to offer. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen well - appointed and there's lots of hot water - a must with two adults and two children. Right round the corner is a great breakfast spot ( rockenwagners) and a really good pizza place if you fancy staying close to home. We used the bikes and tootled all the way to Venice beach and along to Santa Monica - a great way to get a feel for the area. We would definitely recommend Beethoven 's hideaway and would have no hesitation in re booking .
We had the pleasure of staying at Beethoven's retreat for a few days in March. We were traveling from a conference held in Riverside and wanted to extend our time in California for some sightseeing. Jame's home was lovely and comfortable. We arrived to find a bottle of wine waiting for us which was an unexpected pleasure. There were three adults in our party and we had plenty of room the stretch out. The weather was cool and rainy so we did not have the opportunity to spend time on the deck as we had hoped. My daughter was thrilled with the opportunity to pick fresh lemons right off the tree in the backyard (right off the deck). The kitchen was supplied with basic condiments and spices you might need to whip up a quick meal; this is not always the case we have seen in rentals and were quite pleased as these small things can add up if you need to buy them upon arrival. There is a wonderful 99 cent store right around the corner if you need something in a pinch. The location was excellent. We had a rental car but passed many buses on our drives. We had dinner at a quaint ocean side spot called the "Whaler" after watching the sunset over the pier. The appetizers were fantastic and the strawberry lemonade: awesome (one of the few perks to being designated driver!). We squeezed quite a bit of touring into our little bit of time. We were very close to Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, had a great dinner at an understated Caribbean spot in Santa Monica called Cha Cha chicken. Don't let the bright orange exterior scare you away... some of the best Caribbean food I have ever had, and very reasonably priced. Did an LA bus tour which worked well for us with limited time and gave us a great opportunity to see all the tourist spots you come to LA to see. Hollywood was about 30-40 minute drive with traffic, not bad. Having a washer and dryer was wonderful but plan to spend longer time than normal to do laundry. The washer is energy efficient and takes awhile; probably on Cali time...lol! The street was quiet and a short block to a busy road which was convenient in our travels. I would recommend this apartment if you are traveling to LA. Thank you James for sharing your lovely home with us!
HOURS OF FUN IS JUST MINUTES AWAY! We're located on a treed residential street on the fabulous West side of Los Angeles, in the area of Mar Vista where where Santa Monica, Venice and Marina del Rey all meet...
From our lovely 2-bedroom home it's just 5 minutes to the freeways, 6 minutes to the famous Venice Beach and Venice Canals, and 9 minutes to the Santa Monica Pier and Santa Monica Promenade.
Top-flight restaurants, cinemas, supermarkets, golf course, parks and the Abbott Kinney antique shops are only 4-minutes away.
And if you drive down our cross street (passing a convenient supermarket and Costco shopping center) you'll arrive at the fabulous beaches of Santa Monica and Venice in less time than it takes to stroll around the block.
Other activities: shopping, theatre-going, concerts, boating, parasailing, shelling, wildlife viewing, health/beauty spa, horseback riding.
Golf: The gorgeous Penmar Golf Club is just a half-mile down our street.

American Ebola doc: 'I am thrilled to be alive'
ATLANTA -- Calling it a "miraculous day," an American doctor infected with Ebola left his isolation unit and warmly hugged his doctors and nurses on Thursday, showing the world that he poses no public health threat one month after getting sick with the virus.
Dr. Kent Brantly and his fellow medical missionary, Nancy Writebol, who was quietly discharged two days earlier, are still weak but should recover completely, and no one need fear being in contact with them, said Dr. Bruce Ribner, who runs the infectious disease unit at Emory University Hospital.
Brantly's reappearance was festive and celebratory, a stark contrast to his arrival in an ambulance under police escort three weeks earlier, when he shuffled into the hospital wearing a bulky white hazardous materials suit.
"I am thrilled to be alive, to be well, and to be reunited with my family," Brantly said, choking up as he read a written statement. Then he and his wife turned and hugged a parade of doctors and nurses, hugging or shaking hands with each one. For some, it was their first direct contact without protective gear.
After Brantly, 33, and Writebol, 59, were infected while working with Ebola victims in Liberia, their charity organizations, Samaritan's Purse and SIM, reached out to top infectious disease experts for help.
Working connections, they obtained one of only five courses available worldwide of an experimental drug known as Zmapp, and Brantly and Writebol split the doses before being evacuated to Atlanta. The other four were later given to a Spanish priest, who died, and three doctors in Africa, who have been improving.
Brantly didn't take questions at Thursday's news conference, but he did briefly describe how they confronted Ebola back in Liberia. He said aid workers had begun "preparing for the worst" after learning of the outbreak in March, and saw their first patient in June. Soon, many more arrived.
He said his team took all the precautions they could. After his wife and children returned to the U.S. for a family wedding, he focused on work, moving patients to a bigger isolation unit. Three days later, he woke up feeling sick, and was diagnosed with the disease.
"As I lay in my bed in Liberia for the following nine days, getting sicker and weaker each day, I prayed that God would help me to be faithful even in my illness," Brantly said. "Through the care of the Samaritan's Purse and SIM missionary team in Liberia, the use of an experimental drug, and the expertise and resources of the health-care team at Emory University Hospital, God saved my life."
His doctors warned the drug is so novel that it hasn't been tested in people. "Experimental means exactly that. They are the very first individuals to have received this treatment, and frankly we do not know," Ribner said.

The 1971 model of full-size vans was built first on the B platform when production began. Chrysler utilized the AB platform later. A "Uniframe" design, which required only one weld, made the Dodge platform stronger and lighter. The featured cargo floor is lower than that of the competition. (Noise, vibration, and harshness levels have been compromised.) Competing products do not handle as well as these vans. The lower center of gravity made handling easier. During its 1970's financial difficulties, the Chrysler Corporation egressed from the B-series van. The cab-over motorhome conversion was part of the B-series' popularity at the time.
The construction of all B-series vans features is very similar. From era to era, slight variation has occurred. Bumpers, grille, hood, and front fenders underwent the most change. Changes were analogous to the full-size truck counterparts of each era. Federal "crashworthiness" standards dictate many changes. A fixed panel was between the front and side door on the passenger's side. The side door mount was placed back several inches. Less interference with the front passenger seat was allowed because there was more side door access. In 1978, a transitional year for B-series vans, the panel was eliminated. During the 32 years of production, service companies, upbuilders, and other fleets found the Dodge Van to be very popular. From year to year, compatible installable options did not require redesign.
The first 15-passenger van, favored by church and school groups, was pioneered by Dodge. It was also popular in ambulance and class-C RV conversions. The company dominated the market until Ford took over during the 1990s. Unique features included a sliding side door and a side-swinging tail door having a full-width window.
Eventually, Chrysler was able to overtake the passenger wagon market when it pioneered the minivan. European-style models, that were more fuel efficient, replaced full-sized American-style vans. The Sprinters was the first model produced.
The engine nearly every rear-wheel-drive Chrysler product used was available in the B-series vans. Six-cylinder engines included the following:
Small Block V8 engines available were:
Big Block V8 engines included were:
An optional 5.2 L engine, that utilized Compressed Natural Gas, came with certain model years. A full tank of gas had a range up to 300 miles (480 km). In 1999, Ram Vans that were CNG-powered were classified Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicles.
Of the four top makers of full-size vans, Dodge was last to market a passenger wagon and short-wheelbase van. The shortest full-size vans of the other Big Three makers disappeared from the market in the early 1990s.
The M-B-based Dodge Sprinter replaced Daimler Chrysler's discontinued production of the Ram Wagon and Ram Van after 2003 models came

September 22, 2006:
A booming economy is killing military efforts to create an all-volunteer, professional force. Average wages in the civilian economy have increased 25 percent in the last year (inflation was only nine percent), making it more difficult to entice young men to sign up.
September 21, 2006: In Chechnya, five Russian police were killed in a drive-by shooting (over 120 shell casings were found at the scene.) It's not known if these were Islamic terrorists or gangsters. It's always been hard to tell the difference, and it's been getting worse as more Chechen rebels switch from Islamic terrorism to pure gangsterism.
September 18, 2006: The government will offer an amnesty for rebels, and soldiers who deserted, during the last eight years of fighting in Chechnya, and the Caucasus in general. There will be a six month period in which most rebels and deserters can turn themselves in, and be set free. The amnesty will not apply to rebels who are "notorious" (have a reputation for being killers), or soldiers who stole and sold weapons to the rebels.
September 16, 2006: The government signed an agreement with the U.S. to convert 25 tons of plutonium taken from thousands of decommissioned nuclear warheads, and turn it into non-weapons grade material, suitable only for power plants.

's Vanguard Records one of the major folk labels of the '60s (having the prescience to pick up
Joan Baez
early on, and then recording the cream of the singer/songwriters thereafter), it also had the rights to record and release material from the Newport Folk Festival, giving it access to several artists who were not signed to the label. As a result, this double-packet compilation features songs by nearly every major folk figure of the decade, from

, with Vanguard artists such as
Buffy Sainte-Marie
