I bought this safe on a Harbor Frieght BlowOut Sale Upon inspection at home I found the key mechanism did not work and I had to take the cover off the door and realign the solenoid with the key mechanism so the lever would push down on the solenoid allowing the unit to be opened with the key. This was not a big deal for me. The unit is not hard to figure out and the inner door cover is not hard to take off. What impressed me is that it is a strong safe for th price and it does work well. After anchoring to the wall I am convinced it will add another layer of protection for my guns, etc. It would not budge after I anchored it. I am happy with it. I would suggest waiting for sale pricing

This safe is very solid except for one thing. The lock requires that you enter a code at which point a solenoid contracts allowing the small plastic wheel to be turned to the right which then lets you turn the large handle to open the safe. The problem is that on the back end of a bolt that is molded into the plastic knob there is a nut that holds the whole works together. After a while, in my case 3 years of casual use the nut falls off along with misc parts clattering to the bottom of the inside of the door assembly. The knob will now spin and the door is still locked! Fear not because you have the override key. Unfortunately the override key in my case didn't work. Fortunately though, when I went to turn the knob a second time(it now spun freely around and around since the nut had fallen off) it came off in my hand!! Leaving a hole where it had been. I think inserted my pinky finger and slid over the mechanism that allows the larger mechanism hooked to the large handle to open the door. I then turned the large lever and it opened!!!!!! So not only is the lock prone to falling apart,, any burglur could take a large center punch and a big mallet and bash the plastic knob with it's bolt inward opening a gap allowing you to get at the mechanism and open the door. I reinforced mine with large heavy washers and inside which make breaking into the thing far more difficult. I also recommend using locktite on the nut that falls off,, assuming you can get the whole mess back together which I did after some patience. Aircraft nuts would also work.

Good Safe
By Cut Man
from Denver CO
Bought last month. Took inside door cover off to check workings. Mine has washer bend-up against the flat of the nut holding on back of knob, that assembly will never come apart. There is lock-tight, and lock washer on the back nut of handle, is also designed to function even if it does come loose. So you would have plenty of time to tighten it up if door handle feels loose. All is very functional, and works good. Overall design is perfect for me.

So far so good
By Thom the Waterboy
from Southern Illinois
First of all, I was lucky to find out my local store carried the newer version of this safe. Not much different, it is coal-colored (HF website won't let me use the actual name of the color, LOL) instead of green and the plastic trim is gold. The main difference is that the electronic lock works off of AA batteries instead of C batteries. This is a plus for me because AA batteries are always available in my home. The gun rack inside is a bit nicer also.This will be used to hold my firearms, and some important documents. For my needs, this safe fits the bill perfectly. For about the same price of a decent gun cabinet, you can get this safe (the 20% discount helped a lot). It is constructed very well and I appreciate the backup key so I don't have to live or die by the electronic keypad. The weight is nice and though I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to carry it out of my basement, I have it anchored to the wall just in case. It is also anchored to keep it from wanting to tip over when the door is open. This is a great entry level safe and I think it will do a good job keeping my children away from my firearms, as well as keeping visitors from getting too nosy.

Solid Safe!!!
By hunter for life
from Pleasanton, CA
About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Great safe for anyone looking to store their valuables or guns in a safe place, literally! I have it bolted to the wall using some thick dead bolts and a plate for extra security. For the price, this safe can't be beat! I was looking into Sentry safes and Stack-On safes before, I chose this one. It has some cool back up features, that I liked. The doors on this were nice and thick.
2 years with no problems!

The Chamber of the Holocaust was founded together with the State of Israel by former Director-General of the Ministry of Religion and Curator of Mt. Zion, Rabbi Dr. S. Z. Kahana. It is maintained by the Diaspora Yeshiva on Mount Zion.
Entering the Chamber of the Holocaust on Mt. Zion, one immediately senses an identity with the recent past of the Jewish people, a history at once awesome and tragic. Tablets of over 1,000 communities, now bereft of Jews, look down beseechingly upon you. They cry out to be remembered, asking your involvement, calling for your connection to your people's past. The tablets are like eyes, awaiting your reaction. They urge you to open your heart to memory, to explore your roots and find your ancestral community.
The Chamber is a call back from death and a pledge to the future. Each name represents the soul and body of a Jew, of many Jews, who died for the sake of their people, who uttered G-d's name in sanctity and holiness.
Walk among the tablets, some of which represent over 16,000 bereaved families, read their story, say a prayer of Kaddish and above all, find your connection to the living body of the Jewish people today.
This is none other than the House of the L-rd - How full of awe is this place...Genesis 28:17

I took my first trip out of the US this month and went to visit my sister and brother-in-law in Berlin! I wanted to stay in Germany forever, there are so many trees and parks and there's running water everywhere, cobblestone sidewalks, amazing food, cool music, rad bars, all of the people are super nice and laid back, I <333 Berlin!
I didn't get any picture of my favorite place though! Bar 25 is this beautiful outdoors venue that's like camping in a circus – there's a pizza place, restaurant, bar (all overlooking a canal lined by huge, healthy trees), stage, performance stadium with additional bar…and if you go on Saturday, you can stay and party/chill there all day and night until Monday! I love Berlin, I can't wait to go back :D

What do YOU do when your BS is low and you are not hungry? There have been several occassions when I have found that my BS is low and I need to take in some food but I am not hungry and don't want to eat unnecessary calories. If this happens to you, what do you do to carry you over until the next meal? Sometimes I use this opportunity to drink Orange Juice, which is something I NEVER have because of the sugar content. Milk also makes my BS spike!
I might be answering my own question here but I'm just curious to know what you do in this situation.
Blessings, Autumn
I take glucose tablets as well. Dex4 comes in a decent watermelon flavor so the chalky taste is not so abhorrent. It saves on the calories as well.
Yogurt is good!! Unless you're very low....then it's tablets!!
I just keep sachets of sugar around. 1 is about 5 g of sugar and is perfect, and isn't many calories.
Sure beats keeping candy around, which may well get eaten when it's not meant to be.
I've only eveer taken a sachet of sugar when I was low, or starving hungry (maybe twice) with no food in sight....

Thanks Simon, the photos are from JAFFE database.
Environments from photos, cause i suck at them.
Draperies from photos: http://www.chen-la.com/articles/drapirovka2.html
Hi Leysan,
I really enjoyed looking through your sketchbook (guess that malicious virus warning rubbish was good for something!). The portraits are really dynamic with interesting expressions. You have a really strong grasp of landscapes and nature. The life drawings and figure studies are very impressive too. I think the weakest areas are in your environment rendering, try to get sharper edges, structures and shapes... when you do, let me know how you did it, cos I struggling with it loads! Also I think you need to pay a little more attention to setting up perspectives with your architectural views etc, the stuff with trees and landscapes look great but some of the streets and buildings look slightly off. I hope you don't mind my comments, I think your work is really good and you've lots of talent, especially the character in post 113. Take care, Dayle.
Hi Dayle, Thank you for your kind comment and advice. It's always appreciated Unfortunately for me the virus warning was really annoying cause my dorm's internet provider, which is the univercity, blocked access to the entire cite for months so you could only get here via proxy and CA logs you out when you use a proxy. Anyway, I definitely have to practice environments more. I suppose the rendering will improve with practice, I hope. Or maybe using layers will help. Again, thanks for your advice Dayle. (Please could anyone correct my english grammar, i'm sure it's horrible..)
For now here are just some mangaish character concepts.
Nice character designs!! Great study on drapery too... your work is very interesting (you've got many different style too it seems) Really enjoy your sketchbook, can't wait to see more!!
I really like your digital stuff here, but impressing me is you pencil stuff,.........

It was a melding of old and new as students from Coronado Elementary School and Littleton Academy helped re-enact the Revolutionary War's Battle of Saratoga on Friday at Bear Creek Lake Park.
The old: Students marched in formation wearing costumes of 18th-century British and American soldiers, participating in battles, firing their mock weapons and pretending to die on the battlefield.
The Jeffco school district has tapped three area principals to take new achievement director positions at the district level.
They are Mike Freeman from Powderhorn Elementary, Terry Elliott from D'Evelyn High and Wanda Hamilton from Red Rocks Elementary. Searches already are under way to find new principals.
"(The principals') strengths, skills and knowledge will help (the district) be better overall," said district Superintendent Cindy Stevenson.
For the three South Jeffco principals leaving their schools next year to become achievement directors for the Jeffco district, one word sums up their feelings: bittersweet.
Powderhorn Elementary's Mike Freeman, D'Evelyn High's Terry Elliott and Red Rocks Elementary's Wanda Hamilton will begin serving in the new positions next school year. Each will work with 10 to 12 schools to provide support and coaching for administrative staff and teachers.
For student clubs and teams, trying to raise money for activities can be a frustrating, time-consuming and sometimes-futile effort. And, families and friends often find their supplies of gift-wrap and chocolate bars overflowing.
But what if friends and family could donate money to help pay for student activities and actually get something they want or need in return?
A bill at the state legislature that would revamp how school districts receive funding for the first time in 20 years is still too murky for Jeffco school board members to endorse.
"There are many moving parts," said Lesley Dahlkemper, president of the Jeffco school board. "There are a lot of promising aspects of the bill, but there are some pieces that are very complex."
Ed Bowditch, Jeffco schools' lobbyist, said he expected the bill to be amended several times, and that substantive discussions should start in three weeks.
The state House has approved a bill sponsored by Rep. Justin Everett, R-South Jeffco, to give spouses and children of military personnel stationed in Colorado in-state tuition.
It's the first bill by the first-term legislator to win House approval.
Everett said that during his campaign, he was approached by a serviceman stationed in Colorado Springs. The man had just been transferred from Georgia, but his wife and daughter stayed behind because his daughter wouldn't have qualified for in-state tuition here.
The stories told at the 2013 My Student, My Hero ceremony inspired and touched the more than 100 people who came to celebrate with the student honorees on March 16.
"It warms your heart when you read about these kids," said Greg Sims, general manager of Southwest Plaza. "It makes you proud of your community."
It turns out the first time is the charm for Littleton Academy.
In their first appearance at the Technology Student Association competition, Littleton Academy's students took home two first-prize medals and one third-prize medal.
The TSA event, which was held Feb. 21-23, featured more than 20 distinct competitions. In one, teams competed to see which could construct a model car that could protect its passenger, an egg, from being crushed. In another, the teams vied to come closest to hitting a target with a homemade catapult.
Members of every team in the Dakota Ridge Youth Basketball league did more than work up a sweat on the court this year. The kids volunteered on community projects ranging from helping to clean up Water's Edge Park and Coal Mine Avenue to writing letters to soldiers.
"The kids are already involved in their community through basketball; the projects help to strengthen this connection as the kids give back and see the positive impact of their service," said Felicia Randall, community service coordinator for Dakota Ridge.

For the seventh year in a row, Deer Creek Middle School's STEM students went to the Future City National Competition in Washington, D.C.
The 11-member Science, Technology, Engineering and Math team won first place in the Great Plains Regional on Jan. 26 in Manhattan, Kan., and went to D.C. over Presidents Day Weekend to compete against the winners of 36 other regions. At the Washington competition, the Deer Creek STEM team won a special award for Best Fire Protection Plan.

My life has gone full circle with Games honour, says David Weir
Related Articles
24 November 2011
bodied in sport.
I remember it well - it was at the London Youth Games - and back then I was pushing a heavy, clunky wheelchair, not the sort of thing I compete in now.
We were racing in our boroughs and I was proud to be representing Sutton in a 100metres race. I didn't do very well - I was sixth or seventh, which was hardly an indication of what was to come in my career.
But that day, along with a first outing at the
London Marathon around the same time, was the point where my career really began. I genuinely believe that and I remember the day vividly.
Tessa Sanderson was there and I remember nervously taking off my gloves to shake her hand and posing for a photo.
My mum has still got the picture from that day.
Last week, my life came full circle as I've become a patron for the 2012 London Youth Games alongside weightlifter Zoe Smith. To be asked to do that for a Games where it all began for me is some honour.
To launch our roles as patrons, we lined up in an Olympian versus Paralympian sporting challenge with four contests. I don't know what it is about me but, whatever the event, in my head I just have to win. Even if I'm rubbish at it - and I was in the case of some of these events - I've got to do my best to try to win it.
We went head to head in archery, basketball, Boccia and table tennis, all refereed by John Anderson, the guy who used to be on Gladiators shouting, "You go on my first whistle!"
I can't say I was a natural at the archery - I missed the target a few times - while I was a bit rusty at basketball but eventually got the hang of it. I can't tell you the final outcome but it will be released on YouTube before Christmas.
In recent weeks, I've been asked to become an ambassador for the London Marathon, so again to be part of a race that helped launch my career is a great honour.
I'm now back training full time at St Mary's University College in Twickenham for the first time in a couple of years.
For a while, I've been based at Lee Valley but, as great as the facilities are there, the drive was wiping me out and I'd be too knackered when I got back at the end of the day.
St Mary's is the perfect fit for me and I'm there three days a week, working out in the gym, having physio and seeing the sports science team every Friday.
I've been doing the same thing for 10 weeks on the trot, the training is going great and even after a double weights session my shoulder feels great.
I get to test it out properly in a race in Australia in the new year. I fly out on January 10 and, of course, it'll be tough to be away from Emily, Ronie and baby Mason for the first time but thankfully there's Skype.
It's hard not being with my family but it has to be done. The next few months are the most important of my entire career in my bid to be in the best shape of my career for London 2012.
Thankfully, my partner Emily understands that and is really supportive of me doing whatever is needed to achieve that.
David Weir is patron for the 2012 Balfour Beatty London Youth Games. Balfour Beatty is committed to helping raise the aspirations of young people by investing almost £3m to help develop the Games

And what has intensified my rage is the government's unbelievable suggestion that this is all something to do with George Osborne and his decision to point out what is happening. Ooh, say the Labour MPs, he's being disloyal! He's broken the "convention", they hiss. The Shadow Chancellor has been "unpatriotic", say the henchpersons of Gordon Brown – and how? He has simply had the guts to point out that past Labour governments have collapsed in sterling crises, and we must all do our best to stop it happening again. How can there possibly be a "convention" that stops Shadow Chancellors from pointing out the baleful effects upon sterling of an irresponsible fiscal policy? Surely that is the very definition of his job. This is insanity, and the Labour attempt to accuse Osborne of "talking down" the pound is the most ludicrous and desperate attempt to evade the blame since – well, since 1992, when the Tories tried to blame the Bundesbank's Herren Schlesinger and Tietmeyer for the fall of the pound on Black Wednesday.
If Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling are right, and our economic difficulties are identical to those of developed countries the world over, then why the hell is it our currency that is taking such a pasting? Why is the pound at a 12 year low against a basket of other OECD currencies? Who is to blame for the cost of my vin chaud? I tell you who: it's you, Gordon. You did it, by running the largest budget deficit in the world, now hanging round all our necks at more than £100 billion. You wasted all that money in the good times, water-cannoning our dosh with so little thought or restraint that only Hungary, Pakistan and Egypt are suffering from comparable indebtedness, and Hungary and Pakistan are already in the hands of the IMF. You weakened the pound, Gordon, because you expanded the public sector without reforming it. You weakened the pound because you bloated the state pay-roll, and then you added the Private Finance Initiative and the nationalisation of the Bradford and Bingley and Northern Rock, and all the time you somehow believed your own lunatic propaganda that you had personally defied the laws of economic gravity. You really thought you had created a new paradigm in which you, and only you, had beaten the economic cycle and gone "beyond boom and bust", and that you were therefore free to take whatever fiscal risks you wanted, and the markets looked at the whole thing, sucked their teeth and said, baloney. They saw a man simply adding to his country's obligations, while doing little or nothing to make the countervailing savings in expenditure. Why are we still spending hundreds of millions on a new register of every child in the country? Why are we squandering billions on ID cards? Why does the government still spend £800 m on advertising public sector appointments – very often in the Guardian – when they could be conveniently displayed online? Of all the government's pretences, perhaps the most sickening and self-serving is that none of this matters, that there is no use crying over spilt milk, and that the most patriotic thing we can do is keep silent while Gordon the great helmsman gets on with saving the country and the world. That, again, is phooey...
The risk now is that Gordon Brown seems to be proposing not just to devalue, but to launch a great unfunded borrowing splurge that could end up weakening the economy further. We all want tax cuts. Of course we do. We need to stimulate consumption and confidence as quickly as possible. The danger is that Gordon may be tempted to do this in such a way as to make matters worse. George Osborne is paid to warn of such risks, and he is absolutely right to do so.

At last. But from the wrong source, sadly.
Also, Osborne's intervention seems indeed to have talked the pound UP ! At least the world has some hope of an end to the UK's financial madness, even if only after the election !

Wham, bam, thank you Boris!

Boris forgot to include the £9 billion and rising for London 2012.

Boris Johnson exposes the economic madness that drives Brown and his sycophantic fellow travellers,with devasting accuracy.
The attacks on Osborne attempt to divert attention and secure the headlines.The truth is difficult to handle for a Government desperately seeking to use the "global situation" to hide its failure at home.
Profligacy got us into this mess and the use of the word stimulus can not be an excuse to buy votes through unfunded Tax cuts and more irresponsible borrowing. - November 17, 2008 11:33 pm
Pure dead brilliant! So how come the Leader of the Opposition isn't saying this?
- November 17, 2008 11:35 pm
At last - some decent support for Mr Osborne. Cheers BJ.

Maybe this is why people see Boris as a Tory leader Iain he attacks Labour - hence the word opposition.
Theyhave got away with murder since they were elected;
wars, terrorism, rising crime,record deficits,lost records, collapsing currency, I could go on but why dont the Tories PHUCK Labour

Agree wholeheartedly that the Tories need to go on the attack over the pound.
There was an interesting piece on Political Betting yesterday, saying that bringing back Mandelson and Campbell might have been one of Brown's smartest moves, because they're helping him to win the spin war. Certainly it's amazing that the pound can fall in value by a quarter over the space of a few months and hardly anyone in the media bats an eyelid.
Labour are winning the battle for the media narrative, and the value of the pound gives the Conservatives the chance to wrestle it back. That's probably why Labour got so prickly; Osborne hit a nerve. - November 18, 2008 8:53 am
Why does George Osborne get villified for mentioning that excessive borrowing might cause a run on the pound. Yet Gordon Brown can stand up in Parliament and suggest that we are entering a period of DEFLATION.
In terms of talking down an economy that is the worst thing you can say. No one will spend anything if they think prices will be lower in a few months time. It's a recipe for a Japanese style ten year economic slump. - November 18, 2008 9:12 am

You make the valid point that the Shadow Cabinet should be fighting the fight, in effect.
Look at them. Please tell me just who in Cameron's lacklustre team has got the real guts to stand up and fight. Most of them need a banger up their rear ends!
He has not re-instated David Davis.
He has ignored John Redwood (who was magnificent on Any Questions),
Malcolm Raffkind, who would be in any team of mine is ignored, the list of backbenchers who would and could make such a difference is long. Then, of course the great Ken Clarke, who apart from the EU, is solid and feared by Brown.
Then I think of Oliver Letwin, who would have been at home as a friendly professor! Mr Maude who has not inherited his father's fighting instincts,
Apart from William Hague, Dr Lliam Fox and Chris Grayling (who was hopeless last week) who do have both the ability and will to fight, Please name me the real political fighters close to Cameron?
I have accepted that Osborne did well on Marr's programme, but if he cannot kick the boring, robotic Darling into the long grass- there is no hope!
Then your leader Cameron. Does he inspire? Can he fight? He certainly let Brown off the hook when he had him against the ropes! When he should have finished him off.
But, I will, from today, tow your party line. I will only criticise Brown and his incompetents, In the hope that Cameron will get people around him to take on the war cabinet created by Brown. He HAS to move away from his Toffs and Select band. Widen it Mr Cameron, become more inclusive.
The Country needs YOU to wake up!
Cameron needs people as cute and street wise as Whelan, Draper and Campbell. I have suggested Littlejohn,Gaunt,Ferrarri..there are good people out there who would do a stirling job in helping Cameron defeat this EVIL called Brown.
He needs a Brown Rebuttal Unit.
The Real Unexpergated Truth Hotline! (TRUTH).
Come on Cameron GET YOUR GLOVES OFF. - November 18, 2008 9:42 am
The only question I have about George is, simply, why has he left it so long to come out with so much force? At last a direct hit on Boredom McBroon's chin!
More, George, more. - November 18, 2008 9:43 am
- Blackacre said...
I just do not thing Osborne can do that sort of attack - he would just come across as smug and would turn people off. He is not the right person for this job at the moment, although I fully appreciate that Cameron will stick by him (which is in its way admirable loyalty). Hague would be so much better at getting under the skin of the government presently.

I hate the way Brown and his crew have hit upon the phrase, 'It's the right thing to do,' as if they believe say it enough then people will believe it
Listening to the Labour buffoons on TV and radio I have lost count of the number of times they use it. Each time one of Brown's fools pops up, it is used. Ed Balls said it five times in less than a minute this morning when he popped up on TV.
Maybe it has come as an edict from the Brown central control? - November 18, 2008 10:11 am
Powerful stuff, but sadly preceded by the words 'Boris' and 'Telegraph'.
As Dennis Potter once said, that's a bit like putting the word 'processed' in front of 'cheese'. - November 18, 2008 10:14 am

Boris is spot on, Iain.
Gordon needs to be named and shamed at every turn. He is an utter charlatan. He thinks he is making "a new settlement" and "world order", i.e. fiscal monopoly. - November 18, 2008 10:22 am
If Brown is supposedly 'leading' the world on stimulating the economy how come all these countries are well ahead of him already?

Amy Grant - Time Again: Live + DVD (2006) Retail CD
Amy Grant has enjoyed a 28 year career and was among the first artists to cross over from Christian music to enjoy some pop success. In all that time, her only live recordings were from earlier in the career. So, to correct that, she released this CD.
While she does some of her earlier hits, the focus is on the second half of her catalog. Frankly, this makes sense since this is most likely what she does in concert these days. Still, I was disappointed not to see such classics as "El Shaddai" and "My Father's Eyes" not make the CD, although I do understand they are on the DVD.

The lines are now clearly drawn -- more so than ever before -- between Obama and Romney.
Obama's "RED" Is Showing!!!
By J.D. Longstreet (Bio and Archives) Thursday, July 19, 2012 | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us |
If there was the slightest doubt about Obama's Marxism, his "put down" of the American capitalist system last weekend should have swept it completely away.
What all America saw was the REAL Obama—the statist, the collectivist, the socialist, the Marxist Obama.
America owes EVERYTHING to GOVERNMENT. THAT is Obama's belief and he has finally, finally, dropped his guard enough that even the dimmest bulb among us can see him for what he really is—IF—they are not voluntarily blind to reality.
There was some speculation over the past few days that the Obama team had made a decision to remove the teleprompter to allow Obama to be more "himself" and more easily connect to his audience. Well, I'd like to report—IT WORKED!!! The real Obama appeared. And he connected with me, at least. I understood EXACTLY what he was saying. By the time Obama walked off that stage his complexion had changed to a deep communist red.
I bet the teleprompter will reappear before the coming weekend!
The lines are now clearly drawn—more so than ever before—between Obama and Romney. The Socialist and the Capitalist—respectively.
The choice is now a no-brainer. Choose socialism and die a slow economic death, or choose capitalism and live and prosper.
So, now the ball is REALLY in the American electorate's court. This is no longer a decision about who will lead America after January 20th, 2013, the decision is about much, much, more. It is now about what America wants to become.
It is clear that the American people are in the midst of some sort of crisis not unlike the so-called "mid-life" crisis supposedly suffered by men of a certain age.
This state of mind for America is new and frankly, more than a little worrisome to an old man of my generation. I've never seen America so utterly confused about who she is and what she wants to be.
The current level of uncertainty was not apparent even in 1960's America when her empty-headed youth took to the streets, much like the Occupy Wall Street mobs of today, and made utter fools of themselves in the eyes of the world—and in doing so gave aid and comfort to America's enemy in Vietnam.
Obama has, you see, introduced the seduction of socialism into the American consciousness. My generation has no problem defining socialism. We know it for what it is. Many of us old veterans were even trained to fight it on the battlefield.
But—my generation was among America's last well-educated AND sophisticated citizens. We are well-read with decades of real world experience and we are not attracted, for one second, to socialism. The superiority of capitalism, to us, is supremely clear.
However, "Modern America" is largely bereft of that real-world experience and they are the worst educated generation this country has ever produced—
so far.These conditions make them perfect dupes, and easy targets for socialist con men like Obama and his minions.
Modern Americans have been set-up to FAIL—and to FALL for socialism—by the American public education system. By 2008, the only thing needed for them to fall head over heels into the socialist cesspool was a socialist snake oil salesman. Obama filled the bill for that post. He had been groomed for many years for his role in "fundamentally changing" America.
And—IT WORKED!
America is now at the tipping point. The country is very close to being equally divided between socialists and capitalist. That should frighten you. If it does not, you, dear reader, have been duped, a victim of a well-formed, well played out, con game on America—and you need to do a reassessment of your beliefs in the clear light of reality.
Half of America has been led down the primrose path, which leads ultimately to the destruction of the nation.
The division in America is so deep and so wide, many feel it is impossible to ever close the gap and bring America together again. Millions of Americans have been indoctrinated, brainwashed if you will, into accepting the lie that socialism is superior to capitalism. They will never accept the truth. They can't. They are now captives to the statist, collectivist, socialist/Marxist dogma as surely as the citizens of North Korea are captive to their Marxist ideology/dogma.
We have warned time and again that socialism will murder its host country. It ALWAYS kills its host.
Americans are now witnesses to the murder of their very own country—and—all Americans are co-conspirators in this heinous crime. All that was necessary to join in the murder of America was for its citizens to do nothing, to stand passively by as the activist left planted the seeds of socialism in our young scholars in the public education system, the government schools. The new socialist America was planted, cultivated, and harvested right before our eyes—and we did NOTHING. Now we are reaping what the political left has sown.
Yes, the whirlwind will soon follow for a divided America cannot stand. No country as split, as divided, as America can continue to exist as a single nation. Either she will commence to fighting with herself for one side or the other's superiority, or she will be invaded and conquered by an outside enemy. In any event, that divided country will cease to exist. And America, we now know, is no different.
Mr. Obama, by showing us his true Marxist self, last weekend, also unmasked the political left in America. They have been doing business as democrats when, in fact, they have been socialist and Marxists all along.
The gathering storm clouds over America are dark and violent. They are filled with turbulence and tribulation much as the last time Americans went to war with each other. But this time there will be no Mason-Dixon line dividing enemies. This time your enemy will be next door, across the street, or in the room down the hall.
No matter what happens in the weeks, months, and years ahead, the America of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Patrick Henry, even Davis and Lee is gone forever. The New Socialist America has already been born and has begun its task of destroying those who gave it life.

Call of Duty Elite Xbox 360 beta goes live
Activision flips the switch on invite-only trial of military shooter series' upcoming subscription-based, community-driven service.
Activision has deemed a chosen few to be worthy of the adjective "Elite," as the publisher today said it has launched the invite-only Xbox 360 beta for the upcoming Call of Duty Elite subscription service.
The beta test will initially start with a limited number of users trying out a handful of the service's features, such as stat tracking, custom player groups, and video sharing. However, Activision plans to expand the beta testing pool in staggered waves, increasing the available functionality as it goes.
Call of Duty Elite--which will be free for all, but also has paid components--was met with some confusion when it was announced. This led the megapublisher to release a FAQ detailing the free components of the service. Unfortunately, because some of the features relate to Modern Warfare 3, Activision has not yet announced what will be offered as part of its premium paid component--believed to cost around $8 a month.
One of the paid services, however, is known. Activision is planning a live-action video series that will leverage "top Hollywood talent" and is "dedicated to the Call of Duty community."

You must be quite young. The economy runs in cycles, I've been here before.
the late 70's were a bitch...and we survived. I find comfort in knowing that when it comes down to survival of the fittest, I'm out. I'm so far from the fittest LOL. Until then I keep hanging on. So far anyway. I suspect suicide isn't in my nature. If it were I'd not have survived last winter. Get out of that house! |

If this situation is as bag as it 'feels' from your post-alcoholic father with psych issues as caregiver when your mother leaves, you're made to feel both like a burden and an 'anchor', I wonder if a call to the local Adult Protective services might be a good idea. You need some outside emotional support AND logistical help to live independently. That home situation sounds so dark and depressed I'm certain it looks to you like it's hopeless.
Was/is there a social worker wherever you were treated? Call your local center of independent living. Call the local vocational rehab place and ask for an appointment. Is there a doctor or nurse that you get along with??--call them and explain the situation. Make these people aware of your situation so you get some outside support. I wonder (maybe this is an awful idea?? ya'all help me out here) but is it possible that you might be better off getting out of the home situation by going into a nursing home and then transitioning to independent living??? I think you need to get some support from 'adults' other than your parents because they sound like their living/coping/emotional skills are pretty thin. Am hoping other member chime in with who to call/how to get help type advice. There's help out there but you'll have to talk to people and be very candid that your home/life situation is so emotionally abusive/potentially neglectful that it's causing you to very seriously consider suicide. |

Farmington's Madelyn Price won a $1,000 savings bond through the Bonnie Plant Cabbage Program
The coleslaw that came from Madelyn Price's 22-pound cabbage didn't taste the greatest, but she certainly isn't going to argue with the $1,000 savings bond she has won for growing it.By: Michelle Leonard, The Farmington Independent
The coleslaw that came from Madelyn Price's 22-pound cabbage didn't taste the greatest, but she certainly isn't going to argue with the $1,000 savings bond she has won for growing it.
Well, that's not entirely true. She'd maybe like to get a few Barbies with the money, but the savings bond is for her college fund.
Still, Price is getting quite a bit of attention for the giant cabbage she grew last summer. She is the Minnesota winner in the Bonnie Plants Cabbage Program for 2012.
It's a program to help elementary school educators teach students about agriculture. The company makes cabbage seedlings available to any third grade teacher who wants to participate in the program. Teachers are asked to distribute the seedlings among their students, who, in turn, are encouraged to plant the seedlings at home.
So, that's what Price did when she got her seedling last spring. Actually, she took the seedling over to her grandmother's house, where she was able to plant it in her grandmother's garden.
She cared for her cabbage over the summer. Sometimes she'd check on it and it would need to be watered. Other times, it was fine as is.
"We took good care of it," Price said. "We watered it and we added a secret ingredient, too. Horse manure."
The seedlings provided by Bonnie Plants are from the company's O.S. Cross – short for "oversized" – line. The company encourages students to plant their cabbages in areas that have a three-foot radius around the plant.
So with all that in mind, Price planted her cabbage seedling, then waited for it to grow. And grow, it did.
There was a period over the summer when Price had gone a few days without seeing that cabbage, so her grandmother emailed her a picture.
"When I looked at it, it was monstrous," she said, "and when I got to my grandma's, it was even bigger."
When Madelyn and her family went out to pick the cabbage, it had grown to a whopping 22 pounds. It was a pretty good size, so the Prices decided to fill out the paperwork to enter Maddie's cabbage in the Bonnie Plant contest.
They took pictures of Maddie and her giant cabbage, and got started on the paperwork. When it came time to weigh it, mom Jenny Price said, they simply placed it on a scale.
Having accomplished that, Madelyn turned her big cabbage over to her grandmother, who made a batch of coleslaw. Coleslaw which, Maddie admits, she really didn't care for.
In Minnesota alone, a total of 408 schools participated in the Bonnie Plant Cabbage Program this year. A total of 8,770 students from around the state entered their cabbage in the contest, but only Price was declared the winner by Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner David Fredrickson.
Jenny Price said she and her husband, Mark, learned a couple of weeks ago their daughter had won the contest. Jenny actually found out first, then shared the news with her husband. Madelyn and her siblings didn't find out until the family's dinner time.
"We had to wait until he got home from work, because Dad wanted to see her reaction," Jenny Price said.
Suffice it to say, Madelyn was pretty excited when she found out, and she's still excited this week. As her prize, Bonnie Plants rewards state winners with a $1,000 savings bond that is to be used for that student's education. Madelyn will receive her award in a ceremony at her school, Riverview Elementary School, sometime in the next few weeks.

Marvel Could Have Bottomed, And 3 More Ideas From This Hedge Fund
There is much to look at with Greenlight Capital. In 2012, the hedge fund lost 7.9% after dropping 4.9% in the fourth quarter of last year. Since inception in May 1996, David Einhorn's hedge fund returned 1,829%. After fees and expenses, that works out to 19.4% annualized.
There are a number of investing ideas too look at from Einhorn's fund, both on the long side and on the short side. [See also: 5 Buy and 2 Sell Ideas for Fools]
A Short-Selling Idea
1. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) was a bearish bet that did not work out, so far. The stock rallied from the teens in August 2012 and traded at around $46 recently. The 74% advance was responsible for wiping all of Einhorn's gains for 2012 on that bearish play. A Starbucks (SBUX) quarterly earnings report mentioned sales of 175 million K-cups in that period. This is nearly double the number sold last year in a two month period. Green Mountain also has a lower valuation than that of Starbucks. Its forward P/E is 15, while Starbucks is valued at a P/E of 21.7.
Bullish Ideas
2. General Motors (GM) performed well for Greenlight, as the fund bought 11% of its shares from the government. Greenlight points to the excess capital in the company, and opportunities of share repurchases as reasons to remain bullish.
3. Marvell Technology (MRVL) stood to be a losing position for Greenlight. Very recently, the company was handed a verdict of more than $1 billion for patent infringement.

With the amazing news that gay marriage has become legalized in three more states in the US this week, including Washington, Maine and Maryland, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' video for Same Love, showing one man's journey of coming out, couldn't have arrived at a better time.
In Same Love, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis put story telling to music, talking about everything from parents to religion to laws and how they all affect one's view of themselves as gay. Rapping the lines "When kids aren't walking around the hallway, plagued by pain in their heart from a world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are. And a certificate on paper ain't gonna solve it all, but it's a damn good place to start" the duo dream of a world when sexual orientation no longer defines individuals.
Mary Lambert's addition to the song with her sweet chorus keeps the heavy subject matter accessible to a wider audience, which is especially important for not only an amazing song, but one with a message that cannot be silenced.

Prop. 8 Lessons
BY Lorri L. Jean
August 03 2010 12:15 PM ET
All of us who were significantly involved in the effort to defeat Proposition 8 have reflected a great deal upon the lessons learned in that campaign. Now, thanks to an in-depth analysis by Dave Fleischer, who has more experience fighting anti-LGBT ballot measures than anyone in the country, the LGBT community has some invaluable insight into what it will take in California if we hope to repeal Proposition 8 at the ballot box, and how communities fighting or anticipating anti-LGBT ballot measures across the nation must prepare.
Two points in the report were most surprising to me:
(1) The election wasn't really as close as the numbers suggest.
(2) An astounding number of people who were on our side early in the campaign — and from a demographic perspective presumed to be among our strongest supporters — switched their position later in the campaign.
The data establish that the election wasn't as close as we thought because of "wrong-way voting." Large numbers of people who opposed "gay marriage" mistakenly voted no. Far fewer people on our side inadvertently opposed the freedom to marry with a yes vote. If we correct for voter intent, our side actually lost the election by eight points rather than four. This means we have a much greater gap to bridge before it will be strategically sound to muster a repeal effort. Remember, in a measure to repeal Prop. 8, there will be no confusion about how to vote. A yes vote will mean yes to marriage for same-sex couples and a no vote will mean no.
As LGBT activists and our allies prepared for the fight over marriage that would become Prop. 8, those involved in the campaign knew victory would be an uphill battle. No such measure anywhere in the nation had ever been defeated, and in California, just eight years before, a statutory measure with identical language (Prop. 22) was passed by a margin of 23 points.

Canyon Ferry Walleye Festival
The lake levels are down several feet from normal so boaters need to exercise caution in several areas of the lake this year -- spots you fished last year are probably high and dry. And there are a lot of new underwater hazards that you probably wouldn't have been concerned with in years past.
Pre-fishing ends at 2:00 PM on Friday -- everyone is to be off the water. Most years participants have been encouraged to participate in the Boat Parade that starts from the Rodeo Grounds. This is a good way for the local community and sponsors to see how important this event is and what it brings to the local area.
The Rules Meeting will be at 7:00 PM. Please arrange to be there early from 6:00 to 7:00 to register and pick up your packets, boat boards, decals, etc.

Any good ones with good samples on display? Recommendations? Thanks! | |||
A few of my favorites are: Sticher's Crossing 6122 Mineral Point Rd, Madison WI Mill House 100 Baker St, Waunakee, WI JJ Stitches, 221 E Main St, Sun Prairie, WI Does this mean your coming to the Quilt Expo in Madison? A few of us from this board will be there on Thursday and meeting up for the first time. | ||||
This one is in Madison: http://www.stitcherscrossing.com/ It is a nice shop, but not outstanding. They have yarn in addition to fabric. This is a larger store with more variety. It is near Madison. There are a significant number of samples and lots of variety in styles of fabrics. http://www.millhousequilts.com/ This is a wonderful store with great samples; however it does not have art type quilts or modern looking fabric. The specialty here is reproduction fabrics through the 30's. It is located in Sun Prairie--not too far from Madison. If you don't like reproduction type quilts this would not be the store for you! http://www.jjstitches.com/ I could suggest more shops if you want to say how far you are willing to travel or what towns you will be traveling through. Are you looking for mostly bright and modern or vintage/country? We have great shops in Wisconsin. | ||||
I recommend Mill House quilts. They have a great selection of fabric and lots of samples. Quilters Crossing is a smaller store and I did not find the clerks helpful at all. I've never been to JJ Stitches but would love to go next time I am visiting my son. | ||||
I haven't been in a long time, but if you can get out of Madison itself, Patches and Petals in Belleview is neat. I don't know about samples, etc., but the shop is in a lovely 19th century building. I also like Quintessential Quilts in Reedsburg, and Mill House in Waunakee. | ||||
I'll try and post a link for Patches & Petals - a very, very nice shop just south of here. When are you going to be here...I'd love to connect. Depending on when you come, I can try and arrange to have the day off and will volunteer to drive you to the shops.....send me a PM if you are interested. oh, yes, check this out: www.patchesandpetals.com | ||||
Thanks, so much, Ladies. I passed on the information to a new quilter near Madison. | ||||
Royal Boomer, that is so sweet. I'd really like to visit, sometime. My kids get there on a regular basis and think it is a terrific town. | ||||

Couple Gets Married, Leave Ceremony w/ Water Jetpacks
Because this is the world we live in, Grant Engler and Amanda Volf got married over the weekend on a beach and left the ceremony with a pair of water jetpacks. Personally, I think Grant should have been carrying his new bride, but that's just me and I'm the most romantic man in the world and only dine by candlelight. Amanda is a former wedding planner and wanted to do something extraordinary for her own special day. Oh sure, WAY TO SAVE THE WATER JETPACKS FOR YOURSELF. No word if they were attacked by merpeople on the way to the reception.
Hit the jump for a brief video of enough of this nonsense, I'll be at the tiki bar at the end of the pier.
Thanks to fat piggie, who could be any one of my toes.
The Flyboard from Zapata Racing is basically a water powered jetpack similar to this one that this guy used to almost eat a dock, except for your feet. So, in summary, exact same thing but strapped to your feet. I guess it's all a matter of personal taste, are you more of a j... / Continue →

In the world of stock car racing, at what point does talent trump trouble, or vice versa?
Two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) drivers in particular have made major headlines over the past several months, in ways that were far from positive. The first and probably the most high-profile is Kurt Busch.
It is difficult to write a brief bio on Busch, because he has accomplished a great deal in a short time. He began racing fulltime in the Cup Series in 2001, winning four races in 2002 and another four in 2003. In 2004, he became the first driver in history to win the championship under the newly-implemented Chase for the Sprint Cup format. At the awards banquet in New York City, Busch's mentor and teammate Mark Martin referred to him as "the most talented young race car driver I have ever seen." That's pretty high praise.
Busch's career has mostly been characterized by controversy. Roush Fenway fired him in 2005 after he was pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving by an Arizona deputy; he was subsequently cited for reckless driving. He then moved to Penske Racing, where his notoriously short temper and tendency to have a vulgar mouth were showcased time and again on national television. At the end of the 2011 season he was "released" from his Penske contract.
This year, he has been the driver for underfunded Phoenix Racing. The season has been fraught with on-track incidents and continued verbal outbursts, including a suspension for swearing publicly. But despite many people believing it could never happen again, a viable team has given Kurt a job. Next week at Charlotte Motor Speedway, he will move to Furniture Row Racing, replacing driver Regan Smith.
"Furniture Row Racing has the commitment, talent and resources to compete at a high level in the Sprint Cup Series," Busch said after the announcement on Sept. 24. "I have watched with admiration how this team has grown over the years and that is why I am excited about the opportunity as I eagerly look forward to a new chapter in my racing career."
This is an opinion column, so here's my opinion. During my years at Darlington Raceway, I dealt with Busch many times. Thanks to that door-banging battle with Ricky Craven in 2003, he is probably the most famous race loser in NASCAR history, and we promoted that fact. Kurt was never anything but gracious, accommodating and — a description you don't often hear applied to him — a really good sport. He may have issues — who doesn't? — but he's not a bad guy.
The fact that we almost expect to hear reports of various drug scandals in other professional sports, but are shocked when it happens in stock car racing, is both a compliment to NASCAR and a sorry state of affairs.
Allmendinger's NASCAR career path has been similar to Busch's, although not nearly as successful or flamboyant. Like Kurt, AJ started out in the Truck Series before moving to a fulltime Cup Series job with Red Bull Racing in 2007 and then spending a couple of seasons with Richard Petty Motorsports. After Busch and Penske Racing parted company, Allmendinger was hired as the driver of the No. 22 Dodge, which he described as his "dream job."
The dream ended in July, when Allmendinger was indefinitely suspended from NASCAR after testing positive for a banned substance, and then was released from his Penske contract a week later. He has since completed NASCAR's Road to Recovery program and his driving privileges have been reinstated. To date no announcement has been made about his future prospects, but it is interesting to note that his name has come up as one of the possible candidates for the Phoenix Racing seat after Busch's departure.
Allmendinger, who is 30, has zero Cup Series wins on his resume so far. Kurt Busch is 34 years old and has won 24 NSCS races and a championship. One's name has been tainted by a drug scandal, while the other is well-known for emotional volatility.
The multimillion-dollar question on the table is this: If you're a big business looking for a driver to sponsor, who would you choose? How much would the potential for success override your concerns and affect your decision?
It remains to be seen whether this Furniture Row deal will be a "three strikes and you're out" situation or a "third time's the charm" turnaround. The point is that someone was willing to give Kurt Busch another chance.
Will the same apply to AJ Allmendinger? I hope so, but I'm really not sure.

Carlotta Brett-Pierce and her mother, Loretta Brett, are facing charges including murder and manslaughter in the death of Carlotta's daughter, four-year-old Marchella Pierce.
The young girl was found dead inside her family's home in September 2010, weighing just 18 pounds.
Investigators say Marchella's malnourished body was "all skin and bones" and had been beaten.
Prosecutors say autopsy results show Marchella had only a single kernel of corn in her stomach as well as adult doses of Benadryl and Claritin.
They also say she had bruises all over her body and ligature marks on her ankles from being tied to her bed.
"Beaten, bound, drugged, dehydrated and starved, that's how Marchella Pierce died," said prosecutor Perry Cerrato.
However, Brett-Pierce's defense lawyer says Marchella was born prematurely, weighing only one pound at birth, and had severe medical issues her whole life. He also said her client was ignorant of how to care for her daughter.
"You've heard both sides. At the end of the day I think the truth will come out and I think what you're going to find is that the peoples' charges are over elevated and I think that there is a truth somewhere in between," said defense lawyer Alan Stutman.
Marchella died just seven months after she was allowed to go home from a medical care facility where she was being treated.
Prosecutors said she was a success story at the time, originally weighing 26 pounds when she went back to her grandmother's home, but then lost a third of her body weight.
Prosecutors argue Loretta Brett shared responsibility in raising and caring for the child because she lived with her. However, Brett's lawyer argued the medical facility caring for Marchella since birth put the child in the parent's care, not in the grandmother's.
Two former Administration for Children's Services workers are also facing charges for their handling of the case.
The case ended early Monday because one of the jurors felt faint.
If convicted, Brett faces up to 15 years in prison for manslaughter.
Brett-Pierce faces 25 years to life for second-degree murder.

Sports Clubs Jump at Sporting Legacy Opportunity
A boxing club in Manchester's Moss Side has been named as the first project to benefit from Sport England's Inspired Facilities Fund, as it emerged that over six hundred sports clubs across England have applied to the Olympic legacy fund's first round.
The Inspired Facilities fund is part of the £135 million Places People Play legacy programme that is bringing the magic of a home Olympic and Paralympic Games into communities across the country. Every sports facility that receives funding will carry the London 2012 Inspire mark – celebrating the link to the Games.
Moss Side Boxing & Athletics Association will receive £41,355 of Lottery funding to upgrade the facilities at the gym, which has helped thousands of local people get into sport since it opened its doors in 1981. Among those who have trained at the club are John Murray and his brother Joe, who fought at the Beijing Olympics.
A further 631 sports groups will find out before Christmas whether their bid has been successful, while another 2,000 applications have been created by organisations looking to apply in the four remaining funding rounds.
Responding to the unprecedented demand, Sport England today announced that up to £7 million of additional awards will be made in the first round of investment decisions, taking the total to £17 million.
The investments will breathe new life into tired facilities that can be unattractive to sports participants, difficult to maintain and run. Grants will also be available to convert existing buildings into venues that are suitable for grassroots sport.
Sport England's Chair, Richard Lewis, said:
"For hundreds of clubs and tens of thousands of people, 2012 will be the year their local sports facilities got better.
"This fund has really hit the mark with sports clubs. It shows we're offering the sporting legacy that people want and that our work to simplify the application process has paid off."
Minister for Sport and the Olympics, Hugh Robertson MP, said:
"We want to use the Olympic and Paralympics next summer to inspire a generation to get involved in sport across the country. This is why as part of the £135 million Places People Play legacy programme we invited community sports clubs to apply for funding to upgrade their facilities. I am delighted that the Moss Side Boxing & Athletics Association is the first to benefit from this funding and hope it goes from strength to strength in the future."
Inspired Facilities has been designed to be as simple and accessible as possible for potential applicants, with a shorter form and a catalogue of ready-made options to choose from. Analysis of the 632 bids shows this has worked with:
- Bids from every county in England
- 85 sports featuring across the applications
- 18 sports appearing in ten or more bids, including basketball, boxing, football and rugby union.
Places People Play is being delivered by Sport England. We are working in partnership with the British Olympic Association (BOA) and the British Paralympic Association (BPA) with the backing of The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) through the London 2012 Inspire mark.
LOCOG Chair, Seb Coe, said:
"This is a fantastic funding project that will deliver a real legacy from the London 2012 Games. It will provide a whole range of sporting opportunities for young people through improved facilities and will I hope inspire them to take up sport."

$45 albino Alligators are lurking and watching you in the see-thru bathrooms. Wear your robe!
Bliss spa here is really great. I love the triple oxygen facial treatment. It leaves you fresh and revived - request Adriana. She's fantastic!
Pick a lounge chair on the south side of the pool since the building shades the north side starting in the early afternoon.
Kudos to the New Times' 2011 "Best Pool" winner! The enormous pool expands in all directions, and if you squint, it's hard to decipher where the pool ends and the panoramic ocean view begins.
I love the bar at poolside, during the biz week it's chill-axing for lunch
The staff here is amazing, from the front door , to the front desk , and the housekeeping !!! They really do go out of their way to make you happy ;) A+++++ for the W Hotel î¢î¢î¢î¢î¢ îîîîî
Breakfast at Steak 954 is quite reasonable for an upscale property. Don't forget that there's a second pool on the west side of level 5.
*Evan[Bu] Gold Medal Property*
Love this resort. Ask housekeeping for extra bathroom/bliss amenities to take home. Love the body butter & facewash. Hotel rooms are very nice & modern. Love the balcony's.
The bliss products they give you in the room leave your hair and skin so soft!
Take the plexiglass stairwell from the living room up through the pool outside to the pool deck. Amazing infinity pool with views of the Atlantic Ocean!
Service is extremely spotty. Not the best w we've been to. Does not meet whenever whatever service by a long shot.
Bliss doesn't offer Xtreme Lash Extensions but Fresh Beauty Studio does and is only one mile north of the hotel mention 4square for a deal
Watch out for those alligators!
My room was cleaned but housekeeping forgot to leave towels. The bathroom isn't for the modest person. If you want ti stay at a resort it's great. If you are here for the beach stay somewhere else.
Jamal helped us with a misbegotten reservation and made our stay Wonderful (with a capital W)!!!
The ceilings are paper thin. If you want peace and quiet nights, try to request an isolated room. I listened to someone else's music, conversations, and taps of women's heals all night.
For a quick heathy snack grab a free green apple at "wet" or "sweat."
Metered parking between the W hotel + Hilton. Spots usually available, but not on the weekend.
Great location, ambiance and food.
Steak 954 - great salads LivingRoom is great at night... awesome ocean views
Great hotel- horrible service
Be warned! I had my wallet stolen at their swanky hotel and security or the lack thereof handled themselves unprofessionally. I am a woman in a hotel alone and they simply gave me a new key when they should have given me a new room. The front staff were very stuffy and rude. I have to say I am a frequent SPG member, and because their lack of response the W will not be on my list of hotels to stay at sadly enough. It takes a lot for me to write a negative review but I think it's important to share with people who think about staying there.
Great getaway!
This trip was special for our group - "The Nip Tuck Girls." Anyway, the staff were great and attentive. The pool was cool and the view....... Food was great and loved the bathroom! Very stylish! Great location to beach, shopping, food!!!
