Theater review: Lakewood's Beck puts on fun 'Bloody Bloody' musical
The musical "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" — a raucous mix of subversive political satire, emo-rock rhythm, and Jello shots of audacity — could very well serve as a history lesson for Generation Y.
A recent off-Broadway success created by Alex Timbers (book) and Michael Friedman (music and lyrics), the play tells the revisionist tale of America's first political maverick who became our seventh president. The Beck Center for the Arts' regional premiere production of "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" is a fast-paced, in-your-face piece of entertainment that leaves little time to breathe, reflect or revolt. Yet, despite its bold, hit-and-run recklessness, it never loses focus, direction or its audience's undivided attention.
Known as the father of modern democracy and the man behind Manifest Destiny, Jackson was the early 19th-century equivalent of a rock star: a populist, loose cannon politician who, according to John Mecham's biography "American Lion," "was beloved and hated, venerated and reviled … and gave voice to the hopes and fears of a restless nation."
"Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" not only runs with the rock-star theme but runs wild. A traditional orchestra is replaced with a phenomenal, pulsating on-stage band featuring Dennis Yurick on guitar, Ingrid Lang on bass, Jason Giaco on drums, and frequent visits from Dan Folino — as a young, profane, sexually charged Andrew Jackson — on vocals.
Rock-star politician is the role that Folino, a superb actor and the lead singer of his own band, was born to play. Equipped with full-throttled swagger, tight pants and punk-pink hair, Folino doesn't so much play the restless, impulsive Jackson as bring to life an imagining of the man's monumental ego. Brought to the forefront are Jackson's egregious qualities that made him both a memorable renegade and forgettable leader during a time of great change, when the nation was a doe-eyed adolescent aching for a hero.
The show unfolds in pseudo-historic moments that erupt into musical numbers. Behind closed doors and in the song "Illness is a Metaphor," we witness the pleasure Jackson derives from his own pain and, by extension, the misery he introduces to the invading Spanish and the loitering British. Acts of violence are reverted to running slapstick sketches or, in the case of the massacre of Native Americans, a haunting rendition of the "10 Little Indians" nursery rhyme. Mock press conferences and parodies of contemporary campaign commercials are all fodder for this unique brand of storytelling.
To accomplish all this, Folino is surrounded by a brilliant ensemble of local area actors who step in and out of caricatures of real-life people. They include Trey Gilpin as Martin Van Buren; Mike Majer as John Quincy Adams; Chris McCarrell as Henry Clay; Gilgamesh Taggett as James Monroe and Black Fox; Sam Wolf as John Calhoun; Keri Rene Fuller as Jackson's wife, Rachel; Alyssa Easterly as Naomi; Casey Cott as Red Eagle; Pat Miller as a messenger; Amiee Collier as a featured vocalist; Lindsey Mercer as a tour guide; Elliot Lockshine as Jackson's son Lyncoya; and Hester Lewellen as the Storyteller.
Every performer is devoted body and soul to this enterprise and delivers the show's acerbic humor — of which there is plenty — with the same aplomb as they do its speed-dialing dialogue and the intense, primal and frequently rowdy musical numbers, masterfully choreographed by Martín Céspedes.
This show has been relegated to Beck's second stage — a small black box arrangement where its riskier, more risqué shows reside, as if no one will notice them as much if in the back corner by the bathroom. Notice this they will, for "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" sparks on all cylinders and, under Scott Spence's astute and creative direction, employs the intimacy of the Studio Theater to its fullest advantage.
Also noticeable are the disturbing parallels this play unveils between the carnival-like affairs of state of yesteryear and the circus that is today's political arena. The more things change, we are told through the modern trappings in which this old story is conveyed, the more they remain the same. In fact, while Trad A Burns' wonderful multi-tiered set design resembles a period saloon, it offers a three-ringed space for Jackson's personal and political life to unfold in big-tent fashion. Jennifer Sparano's wonderful costuming reinforces this concept. Continued...
"Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" is invigorating theater, the type of show that will attract a younger audience and expand the sensibilities of an older crowd. These are both admirable aspirations and prove that quality entertainment comes in all forms and is worth the risk.
"Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" runs through July 1 at the Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood. For tickets, which range from $17 to $28, call 216-521-2540, ext. 10.

Just played about 2 hours yesterday, and I found that now even 4 squadrons of bombers can threaten 5 TEC flaks. Though not effective, it is really a problem.
And considering the discussions in the forum, it is most concerned that flaks shouldn't wipe out the corvetts so easily.
But now flaks are nerfed, and they can't stand a chance in the middle game, when strikecraft squadrons appear in the battle field more often.
So my suggestion is:- give a specific upgrade for flaks, to "restore" their HP / damage to the previous version.
It may be more flexible to deal with the different early a/o mid game scenarios, and it may be better to increase a armor a/o damage type.
When someone does bomber spam, you really cant counter fast enough with flak unless you have 100+ flak.
I counter mass bombers with 20% fighters, 30% flak, and the rest LF.
Its better to kill the carriers then try to stop the bombers.
Also, for someone spamming bombers, make sure you have a Kol, Kortul, or Halcyon in your fleet as those are the things that will give your flak a chance to actually deal damage.
Jep, the carriers need to go fast. Focusfire on them, use abilites, crunch them together. Once they are gone the bombers are just free XP to be harvested.
Can't wait till vasari are playable, I miss them phasic traps. They made this so much easier.
flack are not supposed to counter bombers.
and 5 flack is 20 supply. 4 bomber squads is 28.
5 flack is 3175 (4x resource conversion method)
4 bomber squads is 3950 credits
it should also be noticed, that hte more bombers/flack on the field, the more likely all the flack's banks can fire.
Yes I agree with that. But it doesn't mean flaks can not punish the bombers more or less, instead being screwed by them.
And I also found that, if rushing with Halcyon, it is possible to use 4 bomber squadrons, flaks just can be ignored totally.
What I suggest, is actually to add a mid game HP/damage buff tech to some early ships - flaks, LFs, or even scouts. That will be more flexible to adjust the balance, since the situation in early game is quite different from the mid / late game, since the early ships will then facing different and more diversified enemies.
Honestly, I'd be fine with early-game units getting "upgraded spacedframes" late-game that would increase their stats, including capitals. They'd still need to be weaker than late-game units though. HC's should still trounce pretty much anything smaller than them.
That's also what I mean. The HP/damage upgrade should be a "fine" adjustment, the only reason is enhance the necessity of early units a little.
Idk, my personal favorite solution to SC spam I've seen was the idea of a tier 7 Defense Cruiser with an additional ability unlocked at tier 8 that would be specifically anti-bomber spam. I really doubt that they'd add in something like that at this point, but I can always dream...
In the lack of that, I'd of course be fine with researchables that increased the stats of units. Perhaps flak get an accuracy buff, Battleships get DPS (obviously), Carriers get more Squads/SC per squad, etc in addition to generally getting more hull/regen.
The problem is quantity. In a game such like WarCraft 3 it is much easier to resolve the problem, and even in StarCraft it is still OK. But in Sins, in such a relatively larger scale of battle, it will be either overpowered in swarm or in single.
And it is also similar in the reality, just to remind the history of WWII.
To solve such a problem, I think the solutions may include:
- all units require supplies to operation. And the resupply capacity of any single planet is limited. (But such design will of course ruins any RTS games. It is only appropriate for turn based SLG.)
- decrease the defense of units if they are massed in swarm, and decrease the dodge: due to the limit of on-field C4IS ability, and it is difficult to cooperate so many units in the battlefield. (This will still greatly change the mechanics. And it is also redundant considering the existing mitigation system.)
- if only concerns the bomber problems, introduce a third strikecraft "interceptor", with low maneuvability (low dodge rate and low turn rate), high linear accelerate rate, longer shoot range than bombers, and has extra damage to the bombers. (But it is really a disaster to balance even more unit types.)
- set the fighters and flaks as using different weapons: to ship, no change; to SCs only, use explosive salvos. (The "first-kicking-everyone's-ass-to-hell-attack-wave" problem is still there.)
- decrease the supply limit directly. (Ohhhhhhhh nooooooooooooo! I swear I will immediately create my own mod if they really do this!)
So currently I have no idea about the problem.
Bombers and LRFs have always been a thorn to balance for some reason. They seem to finally have LRFs under control with corvettes working well against them, but bomber spam is still pretty lame. It's not as bad with Visari not in the game yet, but I'm worried once they get put in Visari bomber spam is just going to come back full force.
I think there should be tech that restores 3/4 of the flaks original stat, but needs a couple cruiser prerequisites and costs the same as the kodiak cruiser tech, would mean they still have a place but that you cant get them to a spamming stage before you can spend your resources on a much better fleet combination.
Also I have never had problems vs mass bombers, in my fleets I always start with a carrier at the beginning of the game and its always my flagship, and in a fleet build of mine I always have 2-3 support carriers with 2 squadrons of fighters each, that combined with some logistical ships and bombers don't seem to actually do any damage, even with a horde of them hitting my fleet.
Anyone who has watched BSG reimagined will see the similarities between this situation and BSG. Without the vipers, the galactica had a very hard time fending off the cylon raiders. In BSG razor you saw that a Battlestar could be destroyed by raiders alone if unattended by vipers, because once their point defence batteries were depleted all the raiders had to do was target the battlestar's main batteries and it's flak was down leaving it defenceless. So I quite like sins how it is, it requires me to use real strategy to counter enemies.
Well, to present a hard counter in science fiction to the Battlestar Galactica example I reference the Bolo series, in which light attack craft do not stand a chance against relavistic speed Hellbore fire. The armor, shielding, and resiliency of a heavy planetary siege unit clearly outweighs the mobility advantage offered by a lighter, more nimble air/space vehicle, as does power generation and tracking abilities. You can see many battles where careful application of firepower, positioning, and ability to soak up damage overcomes more numerous, lighter armed foes. They are simply not able to match an attrition rate that outweighed the cost of a fewer heavy units with multiple lines of defense. The best winning tactic was the Melconians planetary razing strategy (yes, yes, I suppose the carrier analogy still works if we conceptualize planets as carriers and everything they produce as strikecraft - clearly destroying the planet means all it produced will be cut off from support) but even they did not clearly win against Bolos and the Concordiat. I know that some might say the Bolo series is merely a God mod for tanks, but I think it serves as an excellent example of what to use for balancing a game.

I have been meaning to write this for a while now:
ROTTool (primary) or ROTTool (mirror)
It will open/view/extract any .ROT file out there (I hope) which I have found to be either DDS(DXT1 and DXT5 formats) or TGA. The DDS/TGA files are saved as the same name as the .ROT only with a different extension (obviously ).
Next version will make .ROT files as well
Have fun.

BYU Rugby officially announced its much-anticipated 2013 Spring 15′s schedule today.
"This year's schedule really breaks new ground for us in terms of difficulty," said Head Rugby Coach David Smyth. "I can't remember a season that even approaches this one for the number of challenging fixtures it offers."
The reigning Collegiate National Champions will play four matches with former "Super League" or Division 1 men's teams, one of those being the Champions' Challenge between the previous year's Super League Champion, New York Athletic Club, and the nation's top college team, BYU.
The Cougars will also play its traditional Wasatch Cup rivalry contests in a new, home-and-home format with the University of Utah, a perennial top-5 college team.
The regular-season schedule will feature a selection of quality teams from Utah, California and Colorado. Continuing the highly regarded broadcast schedule begun last season, all home games will be produced by BYU Rugby and webcast to the team's fans around the world.
As previously announced, BYU will finish its season by participating in the Varsity Cup, competing with such storied rugby clubs as Utah, Air Force, Navy, Dartmouth, Notre Dame, California and UCLA for collegiate rugby supremacy.
Of the prior 33 collegiate national championships 31 have been won by Varsity Cup teams making it the premier post-season invitational collegiate rugby championship.
Having graduated 15 players from last year's roster the Cougars will marshal themselves behind the leadership of Senior All Americans No. 8 Ryan Roundy and Prop Ray Forrester.
Having graduated the halfback pairing that led the Cougars to the 2009 and 2012 National Championships in Dylan Lubbe and Shaun Davies, youngsters Luke Mocke, John Linnehan and the seasoned Inoke Funaki will hope to operate the high-octane BYU scoring machine.
Other returners of note are All American Center Seki Kofe, Wing Will Taylor, All American Lock/Flanker TJ Allred and Fullback Ryan Blaser who recently returned from an LDS mission.
The BYU Reserve Grade squad will be competing in the newly-formed Utah Collegiate Rugby Conference (UCRC) against top teams from colleges and universities in Utah and Idaho including Utah Valley University, Snow College, Dixie State Univ., Idaho State Univ., Weber State College, Utah State Univ., Southern Utah Univ., Salt Lake Community College and the University of Utah Reserve Grade teams.
The Cougars report this weekend for a team mini-camp and then start their 2013 campaign the weekend of Jan 11th and 12th in Mesquite, NV with the UCRC Red Rock Tournament where BYU will play Idaho State and the Utah 2nd XV.

UPDATE: Washout forces closure of NE Charity Road in La Center
Originally published November 24, 2012 at 1:10 p.m., updated November 24, 2012 at 7:23 p.m.
A washout forced the closure of a portion of Northeast Charity Road south of La Center early Saturday.
Sgt. Alex Schoening of the Clark County Sheriff's Office said La Center-area resident James Sandvik was heading home from work at approximately 1:50 a.m. and was driving slowly because there was water on the roadway.
At the 31000 block, the road buckled, and deputies along with Clark County Fire and Rescue responded to a call of a vehicle in a sinkhole.
Schoening said Sandvik was able to get out of his vehicle and suffered injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.
A plugged culvert, coupled with recent heavy rainfall, had eroded the ground, Schoening said.
Jeff Mize, spokesman for Clark County Public Works, said there were indications that beavers had been active in the area, but stressed that no one could say for certain whether the critters played a meaningful role.
Northeast Charity Road is a rural arterial that connects to Lockwood Creek Road in La Center and runs south to Battle Ground.
The washout also disrupted water and phone services in the immediate area, Schoening said. Those services were in the process of being restored Saturday.
Detour signs are posted, and drivers are encouraged to avoid the area if possible to reduce congestion.
Mize said that the sinkhole grew from the initial incident and was approximately 30 feet wide Saturday afternoon. He said the county will likely issue a news release Monday that includes an estimate about when the road may reopen.
In the meantime, drivers will have to take a three-mile detour.

WEST CHESTER For the Uptown Entertainment Alliance, its clear that art needs a home.
This was the inspiration behind a recent short film produced by the group and shot at locations around the borough.
With the directing help of Springhouse Films, the movie will be used to continue the alliances goal of finding a permanent home for a performing arts venue in the borough, a void that has been left unfilled in the community for years.
Jim Salvas, a member of the alliances marketing committee, said the group is looking for a historical space downtown that the group can restore. A couple of options for the group would include the post office or the armory.
The main thing of this trailer is we are trying to get awareness of the process of trying to get this venue for a theater, Salvas said. It has got a lot of people energized right off the bat.
On Thursday, Springhouse director Eric Freeland and director of photography Rick Davis made their way around the borough, capturing scenes for the film.
Freeland said the film will be about one to two minutes long and include people performing their various talents in places that are recognizable but out of the ordinary.
They filmed Romeo and Juliet at the horticulture building, a juggler in an elevator, a ballerina on top of the Chestnut Street Garage and an orchestra in an empty storefront window downtown.
If they had a place to be, they would be on a big stage, Freeland said. So its a little bit of an inside out tease for showing the need in a humorous way. I wouldnt call it comedy, but its ironic humor.
If they receive the approval, one scene calls for them to film a jazz quartet playing in the middle of High Street.
Once finished, the short film will be shown at events hosted by the alliance and posted on the groups website.
While the goal of the film is to raise awareness, Salvas said there is more to it.
It has more value than who gets to see it, but more of who gets involved, Salvas said.
This Saturday, the alliance will host its first Red Carpet event at the Chester County Historical Society. The event quickly sold out and will be attended by almost 300 people.
We didnt think wed get that, Salvas said.
Formed in 2011, the mission of the alliance is to enhance the collective well-being of the greater West Chester area by opening a theater in the heart of the boroughs historic business district, promoting cultural, economic and civic life. To this end, we will present film, live theater, music, dance and other community events in a welcoming environment.
The goals of the alliance are to support the existing arts organizations in the borough by giving them space to perform and to engage the underserved age groups in West Chester by creating an entertainment program. This program would include childrens theater, Broadway in the Borough, traveling theater, cultural performances, film and others.

Break the Stigma
May 2nd, 2012 | by
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. To bring light to Anti-Stigma, members of our Health Services team will reflect on their own careers and the fight against stigma. For updates, subscribe to NAMI's Stigmabuster Alerts.
Lisa is a Registered Nurse at CareSource and has worked in behavioral health most of her career.
"I just fell in to it. It was a natural transition for me," explains Lisa. "Some people gravitate towards maternity and babies; I gravitated towards mental health."
You might think that's strange, but Lisa doesn't. She has a passion for helping people that have mental illnesses. In fact, mental illness hits close to home.
Lisa has two teenage sons – 19 and 17 – that struggle with schizophrenia, depression, anxiety and bi-polar disorder.
"Mental illness runs in our family; both my father and my husband struggle with it."
When her oldest son was 3 years old, she took him to the doctor because she knew something just wasn't right.
"He was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). My doctor told me to socialize him and involve him in activities. That seemed to help, but there were still other things going on that we weren't yet aware of."
Both sons were diagnosed at early ages and will probably be on medication the rest of their lives. However, there have certainly been bright spots along the way.
Her 17 year old son recently received his GED and will be attending college this summer.
Lisa's 19 year old is attending college and involved with Goodwill Easter Seals to help him with housing and employment. Even his college professors are aware of his struggles and reach out to help when things get a bit overwhelming. Recently he had to take a break from school and work due to feelings of "losing control" but he is receiving the support and services he needs to get back on track. This is very common in people who try to manage their mental illness.
"A person with a mental illness can become easily overwhelmed. It's important for people to have a support system to help them take a step back and put things in to perspective." "
Despite their daily struggles, Lisa is hopeful that people with mental illnesses can lead healthy, productive lives.
"The good news is mental illness is a disease you can live with if you are willing to work hard, accept help, allow support and recognize the 'triggers'."
Twenty years ago, mental illness was never discussed or addressed but simply swept under the rug. Today, education and communication are key. There are resources available but, the person has to be ready and willing to accept help.
Mental illness is more common than you might think. In fact, in Ohio there are approximately 418,000 adults and 124,000 children living with serious mental illnesses.
Some people think those who are mentally ill can just snap out of it, take some medicine and get better. That's not the case. It's a lifelong challenge, but it can be done with proper support and hard work.
"Mental illness is hard for people to talk about and admit. But the silence must be broken if we truly want to get people the help they need and deserve."
If you or someone you know needs help, talk to your doctor or contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) at 1-800-950-6264. You can also follow NAMI's updates on Facebook and Twitter.

"next to the beach"
The room was in ok condition but the location is next to the beach and it s all inclusive.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
The hotel was ok, the beach was beautiful. The food was horrible!! They really need to rethink their food and food choices. It was obvious that they served leftover items from meal to meal. I don't think a hotel should do that. Wyndham needs to put some SERIOUS money into this location. It could be a nice place if anyone cared to fix it up.Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

food is horrible. it looks that they are re-serving the food as it often appears to be the same for lunch and dinner. Dining hall servers are very unpleasant. The best thing, if not the only thing, that this resort has going for it is the beautiful expansive beach. It is by far the best that I saw there. There's no doubt that the Bahama beaches are […] beautiful with the white sand and crystal water. This place however is far removed from any activites and restaurants of the marketplace and it's costly to take a cab each time. The hotel should offer shuttle service.

"Weekend getaway"
This is a property that "back in the day" was probably "The Place to be" it was clean, really good food, professional staff. But no bottled water in the room the only aminity was shampoo, would I go back? Yes, but now I know what to bring. Great beach!Ósvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"awesome beach!"
it was a pure pleasure to stay at this resort. the beach as incredible, we met a lot of great people over there. the only complaint goes to the italian restaurant. we had to wait for our food for almost an hour and when it arrived, it was a real disappointment. reserve a table at the oriental one instead! other than that, it was an amazing experience. […] loved the bonfire beach party! Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Not a very accomodating hotel"
Not sure if i would recommend the hotel because they did not attend to our complaint and did not try to make things right. All the recreation was taken from the regular guests and the focus was on the spring breakers! Other guests we had met approached us as we did some and no one was happy they were not told about spring break as some of the guests […] had kids there. The D.J. they had used fowl language and disturbing remarks as parents took there kids off the beach. They were loud into the night as 1 man we met said he finally called the office at 3 a.m. to complain. Never got to use the hot tub cause it was always full with students, never got to play games cause they took them out including the bar stools. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"Horrible Front Desk Service!"
Hotel would have been OK but staff, especially the front desk, were horrible! They treated us like dirt. They were very rude and unwilling to do their job. Our pillows were missing pillow cases, and the front desk told us it wasn't their problem. Food was not very good as it sat out a lot. Haf fun despite the front desk as we avoided it all week. Watch […] out, this place gets upset with you paying customers! Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"Snorkel and scuba diving is awesome"
checked us in to an occupied room. Put us in an "upgraded room" where the front door knob fell off twice; no lock on patio door; no screen door either; air conditioner dripped water in hallway; woke up to a massive puddle; positioned trash can under the drip to catch the water. It toke 3 days to get it fixed. Apparently the upgrade was to a smoking […] building. Yuck! Phone did not work all week. Pool was cold. Beach was nice. Food was good. Only saving part of vacation was the dive center on site. My 13 old son and I took an intro dive course and went scuba diving twice. Awesome reef just minutes away. We even saw over a dozen gray sharks just a few feet away. We also snorkeled. It was awesome! Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"Great for familes with small kids."
Buffet restaurant was what we expected but the ala carte was disappointing, basic food very similar or the same s the buffet. Not much for activity outside of the hotel, A great Dive team and dive sites right by the hotel.Ósvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"Bad food, bad service, run down property"
I went with low expectations...I just wanted to relax in the sun...you can do that here; but not much else. The staff is a mixed bag...some really attentive ones (primarily those who handle specific activities...the dive team were excellent) but the rest of the staff is lazy, inattentive and generally apathetic about your experience. The food is worse […] then cafeteria food. I ate off premises just about every night. I am not exaggerating; if eating and drinking well are important to you . Do not go here. Someone else said this is not the level you would expect from a Wyndam property....believe it. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia

"Go in with realistic expectations"
With this hotel you get what you pay for. If you go in with that expectation you will have a good time. The rooms were nothing special, but you don't go to a place like this to sit in your room. The food was decent and the drinks were great. We snorkeled off the resort beach and saw a number of cool critters; including: an eagle ray, spotted eel, flounder, […] barracuda, spiny lobsters, and sting rays. The locals selling conch shells and marijuana on the beach below the high tide mark were a little annoying, but were usually turned around by a polite "no thank you". We walked along the beach every day. It was quite beautiful and at low tide you could walk to the east and see some cool tidal pools. If you get a chance, a trip to Lucayan national park beach and paradise cove (for snorkeling) will not disappoint. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"Loud party hotel"
It's a nice place to go, pay one price and not worry about anything else. I do think its more suited for people who like the night life and partying. They blast loud music until 2 am every night. Alcohol is free flowing so add that to the loud music and party atmosphere, it was pretty out of control. The hotel staff is up pretty early shouting into […] a microphone for upcoming events. Very irritating when the loud party music had you up. During the day it's pretty relaxing and you can find a quiet spot. But it depends on what vacation means to you. They require reservations for two of their restaurants and everyday they were booked? So make the restaurants bigger it extend their hours. The beach is super close and really nice.

"Laid back but definitely pampering"
We've done the all-inclusive in Jamaica, Dominican Repulblic, Costa Rica and of course here at Viva Fortuna but it had been years ago. We were concerned with several recent negative reviews and we were traveling with our elderly parents (who didn't want to go far thus made the Bahamas a natural choice). Boy, were we surprised! Not only was the food […] hearty, wholesome and plentiful but a variety that made each and every night something to look forward to. The bartenders without having to tip acted a if they were being rewarded with each and every well made drink. Truly the staff made our visit a very relaxing and rewarding vacation. Couple that with maid service that kept our rooms standing tall with no need to remind about anything and you have a perfect trip. The airlines have a lot to learn from Viva Fortuna. Thanks for a fabulous time. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia

"You get what you are paying for !"
The Hotel offers exactly what you are paying. The rooms are poor and old. Even the nicer Ocean View Rooms. In fact i booked this but got a garden view first. This is much older. After long discussions they changed it. The toilet didnt worked on 3 of 7 days. The firealarm goes on one day. Shampoo you get 2 of 7 days. Towels ? Depends on the willing of […] the room mades. When you are lucky, you get 1 bottle water for 3 in the room at the first day. The stuff in the restaurants is unfriendly, but this seems to be standard in this area. The meals are average, but enought to stay well. The activity program of the Hotel is very great and offers a lot to do, especialy for kids. We had no problems to find a place at the beach (7 people). Thats great too. The location, the beach and the water are nice. In total, as i said, it is what you are paying !

This is a fine resort hotel, with excellent international staff, pleasant public spaces, lots to do at the beach and pool, very good food buffet style, and open bar and coffee bar.

"Great bang for the buck!!!"
Overall I was extremely pleased with the whole experience at Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach. It's not Beaches or Sandals, but for the price it's an excellent alternative for budget wary travellers looking to get away without breaking the bank, yet have the luxury of an all inclusive. Granted the alcohol is far from top shelf, yet like anything else you […] drink enough of it and you'll have a good time. The food in the restaurants that require reservations was actually very good, but book early and often. The food at the buffet was also good, and of course you can always fall back to the hamburgers, hot dogs and pizza for those not so discerning eaters. Otherwise, the staff are friendly, personable, helpful and willing to make your stay enjoyable. There are activities throughout the day and evenings to encourage guest participation, and the staff are good at encouraging guests to do so, yet they're not invasive in how they do it. The really nice thing about this resort, you feel like it's your own private resort, probably 1.5 miles east and west of the property are no other resorts, and the layout allows you as much privacy or solitude as you want. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and have plans to return within the next six months. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
"Not worth the price tag!! 2-3pt scoring out of 5!"
Pool/Beach was the nicest part of this place besides the temp was in 60-70's windy. walking along the beach during the most sunny part of the day were the best. Food Buffet is your best bet with different verities. their Asian's style food scored a 2 from 1-5. (5being best) their Italian style scored a 3.5 their buffet score a 4 cause it has the most […] verity and the goods and bad are pool together. WIFI- SLOW/BAD - always kick you offline. Gaming options/area - a good options but the area of gaming is old which needs major updates. etc pool table/pingpong tables/moldy basketball count . worse part of gaming area are they ALL have time slots!! as if they don't have enough staff operating them so they cut everything down to opening 1.5-2.5 hr at a time. always a long line waiting... Condition and upkeep of the hotel- public area was clean and updated decently. dining area is decent Hotel Rooms (C units) OLD/Dated but clean. same goes for bathroom/shower was lack of water pressure & didn't have hot water for the first (2) days. got it fix right away. going to jamaica was cheaper and hotel is way better upkeep then this Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia

"relaxing winter getaway"
The hotel was clean, the staff was extremely helpful and so friendly! I splurged for a deep tissue massage & the masseuse put me to sleep! The food in the main dining room was fine- i think breakfast was the best meal of the day. Oh on Christmas eve they had quite a nice spread and they did a wonderful job decorating for the holidays with the lights, […] candles & other festive decorations. The fitness center is rather small and a bit dated- I went running on the beach each morning so that really was a non-issue. The sunrise was breathtaking if you are lucky enough to get an oceanview room! :) Must do- Lucaya National Park- caves, and hiking trails and the beautiful beach. Port Lucaya for shopping and bargaining with the locals for trinket/souvenir stuff- also alot of different ethnic restaurants: Zorbas for Greek food is a winner.

Take advantange of the […] snorkeling, kayaking, dancing, games and beach walking. If you are brave enough you may try the trapeeze.

"You get what you pay for."
This hotel has it's perks but also things it can work on. Bottom line this is a no frills resort(meaning you get what you pay for. this is no holiday inn on the beach). i love that it's secluded and a lot of the staff is very nice. and they have a great beach. i also love that it's open and airy. The not so perks are that the cleaning cannot be up to […] par. You truly reap the results of an open and airy resort. bugs everywhere. Even on the buffet style food so you have to be careful there.

"Good bang for the buck"
After reading reviews online we set our expectations accordingly, considering the cost of the stay. This helped keep things in perspective. Crowds were minimal during our October stay. The weather was nearly perfect and the water temps terrific. We lucked out and enjoyed a rain free week. Overall we enjoyed ourselves, but it was not without a few snags. […] Our first room had a few maintenance issues that came to a head our first evening. On request we were moved the following day and the second room was much better. This location was chosen by our daughter as a beach destination wedding, and this worked out very well. The only notable frustration with the wedding package was not being able to get details about the included photography, and finding out the limitations and costs after the fact. The hotel also caters to cruise excursions, which can cause a large influx of people coming in for day use of the facilities. I expected it to be worse from online reports. Going off season we did not have a problem finding a chair or shade on the beach or poolside. The food was average, but the selection was decent. The buffet dining is enclosed, but open air and sometimes did get warm. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia

"Free Cockroaches Included in the price!"
I made the mistake of booking a resort with Hotels.com. Upon arriving, I waited for 10 minutes to check-in since the only check-in agent was chatting with another employee. I was given a key to a room located about a 5 minute walk. I got lost a few times since the directions where as clear as mud. Keep left and you will see it, even if the room numbers […] weren't displayed. I got to my room and my key didn't work, I returned to the check-in desk. Another 5 min walk and similar wait. The receptionist didn't apologize, just gave me a new key. I returned to "my room" and what do I find? Someone else's luggage, shoes and personal items! They basically just gave me a key to some random room! At this point in time, I'm furious and I return to the front desk. I ask the receptionist for a manager, and my request was rejected saying that the manager would return later. At this point, another guest informed me, that while I had a bad time. He found blood residue on the bed in this room!!. I got a new key to a new room, even farther away… I get to my room and what do I find… A lovely roach on the floor (see attached picture with the resort logo)… Bathroom was full of mini-bugs… What a lovely place! Oh… the food could be described as low quality cafeteria food, lots of bugs/flies flying over the food (yes, I know we are in the Caribbean, but still!)

Great classic yet modern bag that will last through different trends. The gold zipper is bold and of high quality. It is very ladylike and lends a touch of sleekness to any outfit. LOVE. It also holds A TON of stuff.

I had been looking for a structured bag for ages and this appealed because it has an old fashioned look. Bought the bag in red, it is really dark wine, darker than the picture on the web. Well made, very happy.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

great shape.
I bought it in the red and it is a great bag, More stiff than i thought it was going to be but its such a unique shape and a great colour.
Its a keeper.

Psycho-Babble Medication
Doing something fun together I'm going to be in San Francisco in May. I'd enjoy getting together. Anybody else? |
This is a message board for mutual support and education. It focuses on more basic medication-related issues. Psycho-Babble Neurotransmitters is for discussion of more advanced medication issues, Psycho-Babble Withdrawal for discussion of withdrawal from medication, and Psycho-Babble Alternative for discussion of complementary or alternative treatments.
Feel free to search the archives or to check out Psycho-Babble Tips, listings compiled by Psycho-Babble participants of helpful web pages on various topics, including coping with crisis, seasonal affective disorder, specific medications such as bupropion (Wellbutrin), mirtazapine (Remeron), nefazodone (Serzone), and venlafaxine (Effexor), and other helpful links.
If you see a member, please take a minute to say hi. They might feel scared, and a warm welcome might help them relax and partake. And they'll be more likely to come back!
Don't necessarily believe everything you hear. Your mileage may vary. The only posts I take responsibility for are my own. In a crisis, please also get help in person. It's good to give as well as to receive. What you say may conceivably be used against you. Submitting a message gives me permission to use it as I wish. Please be civil.
