Honeycutt @ #17 & Malcom Lee @ #36. Not too bad, but still would have liked to have seen them come back and improve that.
"I feel like our team is a lot more united. Sometimes when things didn't go Drew's way, he'd have a fit. We'd try to help him, and he didn't want to hear it. Now that he left, we kind of feel like we need to start over."Inside UCLA with Jon Gold Tyler Honeycutt on Drew Gordon
More Thoughts (And Questions) On The Upcoming UCLA Basketall Season
Ben Ball Roundup: Video Tribute To Coach And More Notes From UCLA Media Day
Checking In With Coach Howland And Ben Ball Warriors
Amongst all the excitement of kickoff this Saturday, the WWL did a feature on the upcoming season for the Pac10 and our Ben Ball Warriors. Who knows what this season has in store for us after so many changes? I'm excited. GO BRUINS!
BN Roundup: Gordon's Injury, MJD Following Aikman's Path & Amusing Trojan Notes
Fresh highlights (I think) featuring TH. GO BRUINS.
Some pretty nifty highlights on Honeycutt posted recently on WCB. I am not going to get my hopes too up from watching carefully edited, snazzy highlight videos. However, at least in terms of physical abilities, Honeycutt might be the most gifted 3, Howland has recruited in Westwood. Hopefully we will have him around for at least 2 or 3 years to see him fully develop. It should be fun. GO BRUINS.

The new rest stops are up and running on Interstate 79 in Bridgeport, and just in time.
They'll be a convenient place for truckers to stop, if the weather makes driving too dangerous.
One trucker said rest stops like these are a good place to take a break, but not for long.
"I'm going to Bristol, Tennessee, and I have to go as far as I can until something happens or they shut the roads down. I just slow down and take my time to be safe, but even with the weather people have to get their supplies, so I can't stop," said Ryan Elliott of Barber Trucking.
The rest stops didn't have much traffic early Tuesday evening, but as the weather gets worse, the rest stops should get busier.

text: SALISBURY, Md.- Barbara Z. Nelson 78, of Salisbury departed this life on December 22, 2011 surrounded by her loving family members. Barbara was born June 16, 1933 in Minneapolis, Minnesota to the late Alyz and Robert Zimmerman. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. Affectionately known as "Nomie" to her granddaughters. She attended public schools in South Dakota and Kansas. After high school she attended Augustana College in Sioux Falls South Dakota. She was a school teacher for a few years and a very busy mother and wife as the family began their journey across the country. The family left South Dakota and moved to Iowa, Nebraska, Arkansas, Tennessee and then finally to Salisbury. In 1972, Barbara worked for a card and gift shop known as Te Jays. In 1978, the family purchased the store, changed the name to Barb's Gift and Hallmark shop and the legend began. Eventually two stores were purchased and Barbara along with the family worked very hard to make the stores successful. The stores were sold in 2008, however they are still known today as Barb's Gift and Hallmark.She is survived by her husband of 56 years Jack; daughter, Jenny Hastings and her husband, Edward and daughter, Nancy Stephens and her husband, Doug; granddaughter, Nicole Hastings and companion, Jeremy Ryan and granddaughter, Amanda Leonard Bryan and her husband, Will; brothers, Robert Zimmerman and his wife, Connie and Gary Zimmerman and his wife, Cory both from Arizona. Barbara is also survived by a special family member Alesia Lukashova along with several nieces and nephews. Barbara was an active member of P.E.O., a philanthropic organization promoting educational opportunities for women for 45 years. She was involved in chapters in Iowa, Nebraska and Maryland. She served many offices in these chapters. In 1975, she helped organize the Salisbury chapter and served as the president in that chapter twice. Barbara and her family enjoyed vacationing in the Cayman Islands and became great ambassadors to anyone wishing to travel there. Several residents of the island have traveled to Maryland to visit Barbara and the family.A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, December 27, 2011 11:00 am at Holloway Funeral Home. A visitation will be held on Monday, December 26, 2011 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm and Tuesday one hour prior to the service. Officiating will be the Rev. William Kniceley.In lieu of flowers the family wishes donations to be made to Coastal Hospice, PO Box 1733, Salisbury, MD 21802 or to P.E.O. Chapter V. c/o Sandy Stevens 11514 Quillen Way Berlin, MD 21811.Arrangements are in the care of Holloway Funeral Home, 501 Snow Hill Rd.

Police welcome longer sentence for dangerous driver
Avon and Somerset Police have issued the following statement after Leanne Burnell from Taunton had her sentence increased from 18 months to three and a half years in prison for causing the death by dangerous driving of 13-year-old cyclist Amy Hofmeister.
– Chief Superintendent Daimon Tilley, Avon & Somerset Police
We are pleased with the outcome of this appeal.
We hope the sentencing of Jones and Burnell brings some comfort to Amy's family.
13-year-old Amy's death was totally unnecessary. She was doing everything right wearing reflective clothing, a helmet and cycling on a proper cycle path...
We will not tolerate those road users who put all our lives at risk through illegal or dangerous driving and will always seek to take action against those who do
Our thoughts are with Amy's family who are campaigning bravely to promote road safety in the hope that her death will not be in vain.

Funding opportunities
Role of MYC and chromatin regulators in human embryonic stem cells
Funding Type:
SEED Grant
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$482 653
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
This research proposal integrates into our long-term goal to identify and characterize the specific molecular determinants (both genetic and epigenetic) that define the identity of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Recent discoveries in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) have identified the protein MYC as a "master" regulatory molecule that maintains the ability of embryonic stem cells to divide indefinitely and to give rise to all tissues of the human body. The MYC protein (in conjunction with 3 other factors) when introduced into an adult tissue cell (for instance a skin cell that has limited life span) can "rejuvenate" the adult cell into a pluripotent stem cell that can divide indefinitely and give rise to all types of tissues in vitro. This is a major step toward being able to generate an unlimited supply of hESCs for regenerative medicine. Howeve MYC also has a "dark side". In our lab we have been working for several years at understanding how MYC immortalizes cells in the context of cancer. Indeed most human tumors contain large amounts of MYC and MYC stimulates tumor formation when aberrantly overexpressed. So MYC can have both beneficial (rejuvenation/immortalization) and detrimental (tumor formation) effects on cells. We do not understand yet how this balance is regulated. The current project aims at understanding (i) how MYC and one important cooperating partner of MYC called GCN5 regulate genes in hESCs, (ii) which genes are directly regulated, and (iii) how MYC functions might be modified in hESCs as compared to cancer cells and other adult body cells. This understanding will be critical to eventually develop safe methods to generate large amounts of hESCs for regenerative therapy from adult body cells by exploiting selectively the beneficial functions of MYC (or its partners such as GCN5) while avoiding its oncogenic activities (i.e., its "dark side").
Statement of Benefit to California:
The proposed research project will investigate at the molecular level the role of emerging"key" regulators of human embryonic stem cell identity and self-renewal. It is speculated that these factors control the self-renewal and pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells by modifying the structure of chromatin and the expression of specific genes in the nucleus of these cells. The network of genes regulated by these key factors in human embryonic stem cells will be identified by the proposed analyses. These studies will contribute to a better understanding of the molecular genetic mechanisms and gene regulatory networks that identify specifically human embryonic stem cells and differentiate them from all other human cells. This fundamental undertanding of the molecular biology of human stem cells will be essential for the eventual rational design of methods to control the self-renewal and differentiation of these cells and, in the longer term, to exploit their therapeutic potential. As such the proposed research will contribute to the effort of the State of California and its many research institutions and dedicated individuals to accelerate discovery in the stem cell field in order to advance at a faster pace towards the goal of curing many degenerative diseases and tissue injuries that affect many, if not most, people at some point in life.
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: This proposal will explore the molecular mechanisms that define pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). In particular, the applicant proposes that the MYC oncogene is a key regulator of hESC self-renewal and pluripotency and that its associated histone acetyltransferase (HAT) GCN5, have marked differences in gene network control in ESCs than in differentiated or cancer cells. The applicant will firstly analyze the expression and sub-cellular localization of MYC and associated proteins in hESCs before and after induction into embroid bodies, and possible post-translational modifications of these factors. Secondly, the applicant will identify the promoters that are bound to MYC and GCN5 by microarray analyses. These will be compared to MYC bound genes in cancer cells. INNOVATION AND SIGNIFICANCE: The genes controlling self-renewal and pluripotency in hESCs are of great importance in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of these processes. While it has been shown that c-MYC is a critical factor in self-renewal and pluripotency in mouse ESCs, it is clearly important to test whether this is also the case in hESCs as major differences are known to exist between mouse and human ESCs. STRENGTHS: The strength of this proposal is that it might identify the statistical enrichment of MYC, GCN5, and its partners genome-wide in hESCs. Furthermore, the applicant has a strong academic background appropriate to the proposed studies. UC Riverside is developing strengths in hESC research and Dr. Sato will be an important collaborator. WEAKNESSES: The primary weakness of the proposal is that aim 1 is not very substantial. GCN5 is ubiquitous and so is likely to function broadly in gene expression (i.e. at most genes) rather at selected genes involved in hESC regulation. Hence there is no evidence that GCN5 plays important roles in ESC pluripotency or differentiation. MYC has been implicated in ESC regulation, but it's not clear whether it is a major player. The basis for conducting expensive ChIP-chip on these factors is not established. Another weakness is that the specificity of the ChIP is not established. GCN5 ChIP-chip could generate a lot of noise. It is not clear how the PI plans to distinguish false positives from true positives. Most importantly, it is not clear how these results will tangibly produce a better understanding of hESC regulation. DISCUSSION: There was no further discussion following reviewers' comments.

Pierce County Councilman Rick Talbert said Monday he will take a three-week leave of absence to undergo surgery for kidney cancer.
Talbert, 48, said he will have surgery May 5 to remove a cancerous growth on his kidney.
He said he expects to make a full recovery and return to work by the end of May.
Talbert, D-Tacoma, also plans to file for re-election to a second, four-year term once finling starts May 12.
Talbert was elected to the County Council in November 2010.
"You never want to hear the "C" word," Talbert said Monday. "I'm relieved to have a plan and look forward to recovering and taking care of my responsibilities."
While he's away, he won't be able to attend meetings. But Talbert plans to manage correspondence once he's back home and recuperating from surgery.
"I wanted to make sure people understood I wasn't just absent," he said. "There was a reason for it all."
Talbert also is chairman of Pierce Transit's board and a member of the Tacoma-Pierce County Board of Health. He is a co-founder of the Crystal Judson Family Justice Center and is its board chairman.

Many portable pumps are still running Wednesday night to make sure drainage systems don't backup due to the recent heavy rain.
Albany Public Works Director Phil Roberson says there are five portable pumps set up around the city to help prevent flooding.
The city built concrete pads and drain pipes in flood-prone areas.
Crews strategically move the pumps to those areas, hook them up and push water out, eventually going to several catch basins.
A neighbor in one of those areas told us the pumps are very helpful when heavy rain falls.
"Well when it rains the pump helps out the other drains and there has not been any flooding on this street. It's an excellent thing for this area," said Barbara Marshall.
The county has a similar system.
The Portable pumps supplement permanent storm station pumps so the drainage system works as efficiently as possible and prevents flooding.

This document will cover the basics of LISTSERV lists specific to the University of Hawai'i's centralized servers, including how to use, set up, and manage them.
Any UH faculty, staff member, or a student is allowed to request for a mailing list. However, students must be sponsored by a faculty or staff member. List topics should be directly related to academic and/or administrative work of the University.
A mailing list is a tool that provides users with the means to disseminate information to groups of people. Rather than list every address individually, the user need only enter a single address on the message. This address will reference a list, which will contain the addresses of the intended audience, thus simplifying the task of reaching all of the members of the group.
Personal mailing lists can be setup within email client software such as Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, Netscape mail, etc. However, these lists are stored on the local computer and are only available to the owner. For others to send to the same group of people on a different computer, they would have to either manually enter the group members' email addresses individually or import the list from the source computer.
UH mailing lists, on the other hand, are stored on the UH list server. To send a message to a group, you only need to send the email to the mailing list's email address. When the mail server receives the message, it distributes the message to the members of that list. It does not matter what computer or what email software you are using.
UH mailing lists are much more than email address reference lists. The owner(s) of a mailing list can configure it to behave differently according to their needs. Setting specific permissions using keywords and templates creates different types of mailing lists. These are four common examples of mailing lists, each with its own advantages for specialized use:
· Mail Alias – An email address that is used to redirect a message to one or more addresses. Emails sent to the list are not archived and no record of who sent what and when it was sent is kept on the server.
· One-way announcement – The owner(s) and editor(s) of the list are the only people who are allowed to send messages to the subscribers. This type of list is primarily used for newsletters, product announcements, and dissemination of information that does not require feedback from the subscriber.
· Two-way discussion – The list administrators and the list subscribers are both permitted to post messages to the list. This type of list is primarily used for discussion groups engaged in the exchange of ideas and information centered on a specific topic.
· Moderated – This type of discussion list has an editor(s) who reviews all incoming messages. The editor decides whether or not to allow the message to be sent to all the subscribers on the list. Moderated lists can be used to control the discussion by keeping inflammatory or inappropriate messages from the reaching subscribers.
To use a mailing list you would simply type in the name of the list in the To: field of the outgoing email message. When you send the message, it will go to everyone who is on the list. For example, if there are twenty people that you normally send email to, these people can all belong to a mailing list called firstname.lastname@example.com. Instead of sending a message to twenty addresses:
TO: email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com … email@example.com
You would send the message to the list address:
TO: email@example.com
The address firstname.lastname@example.com will redirect your message to everyone whose email address is in the group-l mailing list. This becomes especially helpful when the size of your group gets very large. Rather than typing in the addresses of everyone individually, you can create a mailing list that will do the same thing for you.
For a more detailed description of the different features of using a mailing list, please refer to online documentation available at: https://listserv.hawaii.edu/
To request a mailing list, visit the following web site: http://www.hawaii.edu/its/services/listRequest. Login with your UH username.NOTE: If you do not currently own a UH username, Get a UH Username
After you login, enter the requested list's name(must include a hyphen) and your list's description. Using the radio buttons, select Quick Start or Configure LISTSERV and click on the Request List button after you have completed the online form.
A list owner is entrusted with its members' personal information (email address and name), and this carries certain responsibilities with regards to ensuring privacy and security. You must determine what level of security is most appropriate for your list. For example, a closed family list where all members know each other personally may be set to Review=Private (any list member may get the list of all subscribed addresses), but any list with subscriptions open to the public should be set to Review=Owners. A hobby discussion list may operate with relaxed security and deal with transgressions as they occur, but a commercial newsletter must have very tight security as any breach will reflect poorly on the department/organization's reputation. On an open discussion list, subscribers are aware that the discussion may sometimes stray off the topic, whereas on a moderated list they expect that you will exercise more control over what gets posted. On a one-way list, subscribers will hold you responsible for every posting.
You can perform actions in LISTSERV by sending a command through email or using the Web interface (https://listserv.hawaii.edu/). Some commands are only available to LISTSERV administrators and list owners while other commands are available to subscribers and non-subscribers as well.
There are two main email addresses that are used to work with LISTSERV lists. One is to communicate with the LISTSERV program — a "command address." The other is used to post mail to the list — the "list address." If you want to change a list configuration or subscription setting, you would email email@example.com. If you want you want to post a message to the list, you would email the list address (ex: email@example.com).
Sending email messages to LISTSERV containing commands and posting messages to the list is sometimes confusing for people who are new to mailing lists. To simplify this process, the Web interface provides a centralized location for interaction with LISTSERV. As a list owner, you can use the Web interface to issue commands directly to LISTSERV and post simple messages to the list.
To maintain your list via the Web, visit https://listserv.hawaii.edu/ and sign on using your email address (firstname.lastname@example.com). First time users must submit a request for a new password.
To increase security, there are a number of actions for which LISTSERV requires confirmation before proceeding. In some cases, LISTSERV will accept a password-based validation. In other cases, email confirmation is required. When this happens, LISTSERV sends an email message with a subject line such as:
Subject: Command confirmation request (787EF897)
The string of letters and numbers in parentheses ("787EF897" in the example) is called a "cookie" (sometimes referred to as a "confirmation code") and is different every time.
Once an "OK" confirmation request is sent out, you must confirm it within 48 hours in order for the command to be executed.
There are three methods of confirming the command:
The cookie is the most important part of the "OK" confirmation method of validation. LISTSERV randomly generates a new cookie for each action that requires validation. All of the privileges within LISTSERV are tied to an email address. Only someone with access to your email address can make changes to your LISTSERV.
Caution: Never "OK" a cookie blindly. Make sure you are confirming a command that you initiated or a message that you want distributed to the list. Several cases of list "hijacking" or spam sent to well-secured lists have been tracked back to a list owner or moderator absent-mindedly clicking an OK link that they should not have clicked.
This section provides a quick tour of the list management part of the Web interface. For more information about each page, refer to the online help (Help in the navigation panel). For your convenience some common tasks have been included in the next section.
The List Management menu is the launch point for all list management functions. If you are the owner of only one list, the List Management page for that list will be displayed. If you own more than one list, you will need to use the drop down box to select the list you want to work with.
List Dashboard
This selection displays a user interface that organizes and presents information about your lists in a way that is easy to read. It allows you to quick access to adding or deleting subscribers or subscription options as well.
List Configuration
This menu allows access to a subset of menus that leads to the List Configuration Wizard, Tasks, Alphabetic Keyword List, and Manual List Configuration functions. Under the List Configuration Wizard option, one is able to make changes to the LISTSERV settings.
List Reports
This menu allows access to a subset of menus that leads to List Reports, Subscriber Reports, and List Activity Reports. Here one can see the reporting section which enables you to view and change the settings of your subscribers and lists.
Web Templates (also referred to as Dynamic Web Templates) control the pages produced by the Web interface. These pages are produced dynamically when they are accessed. What gets displayed by the browser depends on the circumstances and may change depending on who is accessing the interface, which list they are accessing, the settings of that list, and so on.
A mail template is a complete email message. Formatting commands are available, substitutions that make sense in the context of the specific message are available, and while other templates may be imbedded with the .IM command, the message is in and of itself ready for LISTSERV to send.
Subscriber Management
This function allows you to add or remove subscribers from your lists. It also allows bulk functions through a text file to be done here.
LISTSERV Command
This page allows you to send text based commands for configuration functions without the need of using your email address.
email@example.com, email@example.com
If you are use to using email to make changes to your list, you can continue to do so. Emails should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com with a blank subject line. The body of the message should contain only commands to LISTSERV with one command per line. Lines containing non-commands will result in an error message being returned. Be careful not to include your signature file in your email if you have it set to include automatically. LISTSERV will attempt to interpret the signature text as commands and will return "Invalid command" errors. Here are some common tasks using email:

D.B., huh?
Interesting, lots of headline possibilities, but it's just not G.Q.
Initials were all former Maryville High School coach Tim Hammontree would volunteer when asked who else had applied for the job as the Rebels new offensive coordinator/freshman/junior varsity coach 16 years ago.
D.B. had/has big-time college credentials we were able to learn, but it's fair to assume fans of Maryville football have been more than satisfied in the new assistant coach they got. All the new guy did, once he became the head coach four years later, was construct a dynasty.
Late Tuesday afternoon, Hammontree and his one-time assistant, current Maryville head coach George Quarles, were once again directing their teams inside Shields Stadium. The roles of head coach and assistant were somewhat reversed, with Hammontree hired as new defensive coordinator at Anderson County earlier this month.
The defending Class 6A champion Rebels and Mavericks got together for a 7-on-7 passing scrimmage, with a sizable scattering of spectators on hand to watch Maryville senior and North Carolina commitment Patton Robinette put Hammontree's charges through their paces.
In Robinette, Quarles enters the 2011 season with one of the nation's top prep quarterbacks at the helm. Hammontree had one like that once, an incoming freshman who would change everything when it came to Maryville football. The Rebels ran the wing-T back then, but not when this kid got ready in a year or so. This kid was the Joe Namath of Parkside, and Hammontree was taking no chances with his grooming.
"I'd known Quarles' dad for a long time," Hammontree said. "He was the athletics director at Jefferson County High School. There's not a better family than George's. He (Quarles) put first things first. He understood why he was coaching."
Hammontree first learned of Toki McCray when he saw the latter throwing the ball around in the front yard with Hammontree's son Cole, a Maryville Middle classmate of McCray's.
"When he (McCray) would throw the ball around with Cole and just flick his wrist," Tim Hammontree said, "the rotation was so quick that his ball ran true."
McCray didn't take Maryville High School by storm his freshman season. He spent the entire the first year with Quarles on the freshman and junior varsity teams. While the varsity continued with the wing-T, the freshmen were spreading the field and throwing deep.
"I've always been enamored with the passing game," Quarles said, "and coach Hammontree pushed that."
When Quarles once told him the new offense wasn't going so well, Hammontree said he responded: "Just keep throwing."
"George called all the plays (for all three teams) the first year," Hammontree said, "every game, with nobody in the press box and no headset."
While Quarles cultivated the new offense behind the scenes, other more noticeable changes were also taking place.
Black jerseys and pants become the dominant uniform for the Rebels for home games. By design, it made finding the football no easy chore for defenses during the last days of the wing-T at Maryville. Local merchant Andy Tinker, whose business, Pokey's & Sports, supplies logo items for all the county high schools, helped come up with a new logo for the helmets.
"The Men in Black," as the Rebels came to be known, were just about ready.
"We just did what our players allowed us to do," Quarles said. "We just knew we had to be balanced."
By McCray's sophomore season in 1996, the Rebels off to a 3-2 start, Hammontree decided to end the wait. In a move that stunned many, McCray replaced left-hander Will Curtis as the starter for the Week 6 game at Smyrna. Maryville promptly got hammered, 24-14, with McCray intercepted several times.
"I'll never forget coach Hammontree saying, 'Be patient. Just keep doing it,'" Quarles said.
Moving Curtis from quarterback to receiver to make room for McCray ruffled none too few feathers among Rebel fans, but the change made sense for more reasons than one, Quarles said.
"Will's problem was he didn't have Will to throw to," he said.
A week later, McCray and the Rebels bombed Morristown West, 54-28, and, while it would take a few more games to work out all the kinks, the state was on notice. A year later, the Rebels were in the state championship game, where a loaded Pearl-Cohn team humbled Maryville, 36-16.
"I think it was really important to lose that game," Cole Hammontree said.
A year after that, the Rebels won it all, going 15-0 and securing Maryville's first state crown since the Ted Wilson-era of the late 1970s.
A growing family and the lure of coaching at one of the country's biggest high schools led Hammontree to leave Maryville for metropolitan Atlanta after 1998's championship season. Current Maryville assistant David Ellis was everyone's first choice — even Quarles' — to replace Hammontree. Quarles said Ellis informed him he was content to remain as an assistant and offensive line coach if the former would take the Maryville job and keep him on staff. The Maryville administration backed the move.
"I still say if coach Ellis had wanted the job, he would have gotten it," Quarles said. "Him deciding he would stay where he was was a huge factor. If he would have left (to follow Hammontree), I probably would have left, too."
Before joining Hammontree at Maryville in 1993, Ellis, a college teammate of Hammontree's at Carson-Newman, had himself been a head coach himself in Calhoun, Ga.
"When I got the job here (at Maryville)," Hammontree said, "he (Ellis) tried to hire me at Gordon Central."
When Quarles' first move as head coach was to add Clinton head coach Jim Gaylor as his defensive coordinator, the coaching triumvirate was complete. High school football in Tennessee would never be the same.
The Rebels won seven state crowns in the decade that was the 2000s, a numbing run that included a state-record 74-game winning streak. The Class of 2008 concluded their careers as Rebels without absorbing a single loss, finishing an unprecedented 60-0. In Quarles' 12 seasons as coach, the Rebels have produced eight Mr. Football winners, with Maryville adding an eighth state title during his tenure just last season.
Two years ago, Quarles became the school's all-time winningest coach, passing the legendary Wilson in a playoff win over Dobyns-Bennett.
"I never dreamed it would turn out the way it's turned out," Quarles said.
Wonder how D.B. is getting along these days?

|Mild winter good for city budget
|Monday, February 18, 2013 9:13 AM
DELPHOS — The winter weather has been quite mild this year and in comparison to the past two years, this season has cost the city less to treat and maintain the streets.
Delphos Safety Service Director Greg Berquist presented figures from the past two years.
In 2011, the street crews hit the ground running and were much busier applying brine and plowing the white heavy stuff. The amount of salt and brine used throughout the season, 225 tons and 95,000 gallons, respectively, indicates a very active winter.
In 2012, the amount of each application decreased. Salt usage declined by a third, down to 150 tons, and the total brine sprayed plummeted by close to one-half at 48,000 gallons.
So far, this year's figures are close to what the city experienced last year. In total, there have been 160 tons of salt used and 39,000 gallons of brine applied.
"We have purchased 80 percent of our budgeted salt," Berquist explained the stats. "It costs $47 per ton."
In addition to general street maintenance, the city will be assessing and planning upcoming road repairs. Pothole repairs have begun and later in the spring, Allen County Engineers will evaluate and schedule resurfacing projects, like tar and chipping, and street sign replacement, which will be paid by utilizing the $75,000 in budgeted funds.

In Southern California, we are lucky to have a large population and fantastic diving, which means there are a wealth of choices to consider when it comes to picking a group for your scuba certification. We stand by our mission statement and would like to detail some of the things that we feel make us the best choice for your hard earned money.
PCH Scuba's staff is passionate about diving and that comes through clearly when you attend one of our scuba certification classes. But passion does not mean gung-ho. Certainly for people just coming into the lifestyle of scuba diving, they may be apprehensive that there will be a lot of barking of commands, stern looks and possibly even yelling. That could not be farther from our teaching philosophy. We feel it is our job to coach you through the process, not badger you. Scuba should be safe first and foremost, but right after safe, it should be fun! We build an encouraging environment in our classes, on our boats and during our international trips so that you can seek the level of adventure you're comfortable with.
Self Reliance
We are proud that the majority of our scuba instructors and divemasters are home grown! Amy Desuza, Stu Mclellan, Kelly Compton, Kim Mahl, Casey Mahl, Shelley Fox, Kuo Fox, Franc Artes and Daniel Rom all trained up through the ranks of PCH Scuba and mentored by the founder, Brett Bovard. We're excited that our community has supported the growth of these individuals and we continue to provide an environment that supports others as they grow to learn how much scuba means to them.
We provide a variety of ways for new divers to become certified, and you will be able to choose any number of ways to complete your open water scuba certification. Our standard class features two weekends, with the second weekend spent entirely on Catalina diving at Casino Point. Generally, most students love the free time on the island this style of class accords. However, we have multiple dive boats, trips to Catalina Island and regular beach dives, any combo of which allows individuals of any budget to complete their training in the most cost effective manner. Most importantly, we feel it is vital that once you've worked hard to complete your certification, that you have the opportunity to continue to dive and we will make every effort to provide you with those opportunities.
Every member of PCH Scuba's staff is regularly available on Facebook, email or on the phone. We are your dive consultants, ready to answer any question you have, help you find a dive operator for your vacation, get you directions to the boat and locate the one piece of gear to complete your setup.
The PCH Scuba Community is our single, greatest asset. Through PCH, you have access to a world of divers dedicated to making sure that each boat trip, each tropical vacation, each class - literally every contact you have with PCH - is safe and fun. No one ever worries about finding rock solid buddies on our boats; no one will ever have to worry about the quality of their training. The community we've built exists to support each and every member of it and we welcome you to join us!
The Bottom Line
PCH Scuba is different. You will spend less money—get better value for the money you do spend—have more fun, and feel more relaxed. Take a moment to learn more about the PCH Scuba Community or read all about our Open Water Scuba Certification. When you're ready, head straight over to our Online Store to reserve your spot and begin your underwater adventure!

CATEGORIES MoviesSometimes, even pirates get picked on by others. Case in point: Pirate Captain (voiced by Hugh Grant), who has aspirations to become the Pirate of the Year, but gets laughed at by the dastardly Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven). Will PIrate Captain succeed in his quest? You'll have to wait until "Pirates! A Band of Misfits" gets released on Apri 27 to find out.
Directed by Peter Lord, the man behind 2000's "Chicken Run," and Jeff Newitt, "Band of Misfits" also features the vocal talents of Brendan Gleeson, Salma Hayek, Martin Freeman and David Tennant. It's an Aardman Animations production (Wallace and Gromit, y'all), so you know it'll be good.

In any neighborhood across America, you'll likely find a 'good Samaritan' helping someone in need.
The term derives from the biblical story of two people who refused to help a man who was beaten and robbed. The third person, a man from Samaria, stopped and rendered aid to the victim.
All 50 states have Good Samaritan laws, but it may surprise you to know that in some states, you could be fined for not helping someone in need.
In Savannah, Georgia, a good Samaritan saw someone breaking into his neighbor's house. He held a gun on the would-be burglar until police arrived.
Sometimes, good Samaritans put their own lives in jeopardy.
An Ohio man, who wanted to remain anonymous, rescued a father and three children from their burning home in Cleveland.
"I've got to do what I've got do. I didn't care about my life--I cared about those kids in there," he said.
What these good Samaritans did were selfless acts, but were they wise to help? What if they decided not to help?
Dr. Sandra Jordan is a law professor at The Charlotte School of Law in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Jordan says Good Samaritan laws are extremely difficult to understand because they vary from state to state.
"Quite frankly, there are a hodge-podge of laws," she said. "It's all over the place."
In the United States, there is no 'general duty to render aid,' which in legalese means no one is compelled to help and a victim cannot file a civil suit if someone doesn't stop to help.
There are exceptions, however, in Hawaii, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Vermont and Rhode Island.
In those states, if you are able to help a victim without injuring yourself but you fail to offer aid, you could face criminal liability and be charged with a minor penalty like a petty misdemeanor or a $100 fine.
In some states, if you stop to check on an injured person but you don't follow through by making sure they get the medical help they need, you could be sued.
"They now have assumed the duty and the law says they must continue to help if reasonable to do so, and if they can do so without reasonable harm to themselves," Jordan explained.
To add to the confusion about these laws, in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Oregon, civilians who stop to help others don't have the same protection as people who have some type of medical training.
"They do act at their peril in coming to the aid," said Jordan. "They do not have the protection you would have if you were a professional physician or emergency responder."
Even though you may be trying to help someone, if you cause them serious or permanent injury, you could be sued.
So the dilemma is this: With the example of the good Samaritan, should you try to help someone and risk facing criminal or civil liability, or not?
According to Dr. Jordan, there are some things you can do without subjecting yourself to exposure, regardless of the law where you live.
The first thing you should always do is call 911 and don't assume others have already called for help.
Stay with the victim and comfort them until firefighters or paramedics arrive.
If you are unsure of the victim's injuries, think twice before pulling them from a wrecked vehicle, because you could make their injuries worse.
Instead, look around for dangerous things you can move away from the victim or move the victim away from the dangerous situation.
Ultimately, be careful about putting yourself at risk.
"The law doesn't require the good Samaritan to put themselves in a position of danger or risk," Jordan added.

Volunteerism is never out of style
It's indeed a privilege to accept the 2012 Community Service Award presented by the Cooperstown Chamber of Commerce at their annual meeting Oct. 1.
The occasion, at Brewery Ommegang, was festive, electrified and full of dedicated community members. The award goes back to 1969 and there have been 18 recipients. While I received the most recent award, it's accepted on behalf of everyone who supported the nomination and contributed over the years in the spirit of volunteerism to this wonderful community.
This has been a time of reflection for me. A look at the past recipients, who earned the distinction of true community leaders and how they have made a positive difference in the way we live and thrive in Cooperstown, is most impressive. Their legacy lives on and still inspires and impacts us in many positive ways. It's also a time to look ahead as key leadership in business enterprise, within organizations and individually is so crucial in this sometimes complicated environment. Teamed with this, and equally necessary, is the commitment to volunteerism — it has never gone out of style and we all qualify. Giving of oneself through sharing of talents and time is essential and this community is a dynamic example.
Thank you to the Chamber board and staff, Chamber members and community-at-large for providing me the opportunity to accept this recognition on behalf of you.
Rich McCaffery

Veterans in the 12th district with questions about their benefits were asked to come out. They spoke directly to Congressman Barrow and staff about medical care, pension benefits and dealing with the state of Georgia.
Congressman Barrow said too often, the questions don't get answered because the people who have them are hard to ahold of. He said his goal today was to bring everyone together in one room, so they could be led directly to the right person, with the right answer.
This is an annual event for Congressman Barrow, who hosts the event every year to say 'thank you' to Veterans.

Brown bagging it is not just for school kids anymore. Even if you are heading to the office, you'll certainly eat better if you pack it yourself. Right? For adults and kids alike, making an interesting, appetizing, and nutritious quick lunch can be a snap.
How can you make a lunchbox kid- appealing, parent- approved, and adult acceptable? Here are five tips to help you or your child get a nutritious lunch that is yummy, exciting, and easy to make.
A few other helpful suggestions...
Wraps are a quick and ideal way to transform a boring sandwich into a veggie packed hand held epicurean delight. Wraps can be high calorie traps, so reading labels and choosing specific brands at home can make a big difference. La Tortilla Factory has debuted a line of heart healthy, low carb, whole wheat, and organic wraps in delicious flavors such as rosemary olive oil and basil. These wraps, unlike others that deliver a whopping 330 calories, range from 50-100 calories for a single wrap. Sounds like a winner for tomorrow's lunch. You can pick them up at Westerly Health Foods or Good and Plenty To Go in Manhattan.
Lunch Box Treats: Give an old favorite new life- spread peanut butter between two apple slices. Add raisins for fun. Freeze some grapes, and watch them turn into wonderful tiny ice-pop treats. Scoop some granola into a baggie, add a small handful of chocolate chips. Drop in a heavenly Lara or Nectar snack bar. Ingredients? Nuts, fruit, spices and nothing else!

Beefy Black Stud Fucks Booted Brotha @ Black Breeders
The guys over at Black Breeders are certainly good raunchy pigs! For them it's not about having a perfect body – it's about being a good pig who knows how to give and/or take loads. This scene is all about a Puerto Rican newcomer named Toronto taking a load from a big black bear top Zyz Taylor. (Don't blame me – I didn't come up with either of those guys' names!)
I'm not sure if it's the lighting or what, but Toronto looks like a black guy to me – even though he's Latino. Guess we'll just call him blatino since he seems to fit both terms. He's a big beefy cum hungry bottom. And I gotta say I love his boots – glad to see he kept them on.
The top is boderline chub – big and heavy. He must still workout 'cause he looks better than I did when I was heavy. But one thing I know from being that heavy is when you fuck you can fuck with a lot of force – really slam into a bottom's ass. But Toronto looks like he's built to take a hard fuck.
What's interesting in the pics is that Zyz is flagging vers (with his armbands), and Toronto's wrist band indicates he tops – but he's collared – maybe his master is a bottom or vers? Hmmm… Both of those guys could be fun to flip fuck with… It's always more fun with both guys get a load up their ass, right?
Wanna see if Toronto and Zyz flip? Or just wanna see a black bear slam the entire force of his body into a big beefy solid bottom? Then head over to BlackBreeders.com to watch the full scene – I bet it's really hot!

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - Federal prosecutors say a Canadian man has pleaded guilty to coercion and enticement of a 14-year-old girl he met online.
Forty-four-year-old David Gellad of Rosemere, Quebec, Canada, entered the plea Thursday in U.S. District Court in Wilmington. He faces a minimum of 10 years in prison at sentencing on Jan. 24.
Prosecutors say Gellad began communicating with the girl in October 2010.
Prosecutors say Gellad traveled to the girl's home in Pennsylvania and had sex with her. Officials say on another occasion, Gellad met the girl at her home and drove her to a hotel in Newark, where he had sex with her.
The victim's father found text messages between the two and notified authorities. Gellad was arrested on July 23, 2011 when he attempted to enter the United States.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tim1949 World's Best Practice Hotel From the moment of checking in to the moment of checking out, this hotel is faultless.The first class facilities are only matched by the warmth and efficiency of all the staff. From the houskeepers to the waiters/waitresses, bar tenders, concierges to management lower middle and upper, attention to detail and execution of service is an exemplar to any other hotel. Assistant Manager Guest Services Eddy was particularly noteworthy, nothing was too much trouble in arranging our many outings dinner bookings etc. The hotel's manager should be proud of his team and the way he has trained his staff. I will certainly be returning. This hotel has exceeded all my expectations February 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bertieamanda Staff are exceptional This hotel is one of the best if not the best I have stayed in. The facilities cater for all ages, my wife loved the spa, my daughter the kids club, myself the pool areas. Room with sea view was excellent, had easy access to private beach which was amazing. The little extras llike free bottled water, cold towels, and sprays at pool are an excellent touch.What makes the Royal Meridien stand out are the staff, they are an absolute credit. The housekeeping staff must have tidied our room every time we left it! Even for an hour! Nothing was to much trouble, we were treated like royalty from the minute we got there to minute we left. I would never stay anywhere else! August 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Crommies Highly recommended We stayed at the Le Royal Meridien for 8 days and had a fantastic experience. There are so many facilities within the hotel which are excellent - restaurants, shops, spa and bars. We particularly liked the gardens/pool/beach areas with a choice of pools, beach bars and activities to do. The resort if right on the beach which is beautiful. Our room had garden/beach views which were amazing and looked across to The Palm. The staff were all extremely lovely and could not do enough for you which made for a very relaxing holiday. We found the hotel's location very good as it is right next door to the JBR walks and the Marina, both offering a wide range of restaurants. October 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Promee Excellent Personal Touch My wife and I had the most enchanting stay at this warm and hospitable hotel in early December this year. Starting from a 'no questions asked' early check-in, a free upgrade of room, a late check-out, smooth airport transfers, combined with ever friendly personal attention right from the junior staff upto the front office staff and upper managers, we were completely at home from the time we arrived, till we had to leave. The resort style hotel is very posh and tastefully created to offer a neat, cosy and aristrocratic ambiance for business and pleasure needs. Our next stay will definitely be at this great resort and spa ! December 14, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vlamingkoen1 You will find the most helpfull and friendly staff here The friendliness and extreme patience, as well as the helpfulness of every member of the staff at anytime and anyplace in the hotel cannot be improved, it is just perfect. The hotel beach is so clean and the staff does everything to make things comfortable. Even the water of the sea is clean. We tried three restaurants and they all served excellent food. If any remark should be given, we must admit that sometimes the hotel is a bit noisy, most of all the Brasserie and also in our room on the first floor of the main building "boom-boom" sounds could be heard but did not prevent us from having a good sleep. We prefer a smoother type of music in the Maya restaurant. February 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CharlesDEE Pleasant Stay Breakfast was very well done! Lunch spread is very nice also - but expensive... US$40-ish per person! Frozen towels and water bottles by the pool in the middle of July were a nice touch, so were the complimentary slushies and golf cart rides around the property in the baking sun. Had to haggle a bit with the manager on duty to get a late check-out which slightly took the buzz off our stay. Finally they conceded and it was very well received and appreciated. The hotel 'appeared' to be half occupied - it was the middle of Ramadan. We will stay again though - fantastic for the price. The staff is very friendly and thorough, but beware the extras - they do add up. August 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 I would go back there anytime While in reality there's always *something* to find to moan about, I really couldn't during my stay. While I don't like the surroundings of the Hotel too much (skyscrapers and building sites everywhere, but that's just Dubai), the Hotel is just great. Each an every single one of the staff is friendly and helpful, the facilities are well looked after, also the pool and beach areas are clean, well maintained, and enjoy a fantastic service. Also pretty quiet overall (no animation, not too much live music in the evening). January 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Goldie2009 Good position to beach Arrived late at night . Had 2 nights don't think we got an upgrade as we had all the features that we booked. Would have liked another day to use facilities. June 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by daveandlesley Great experience This is a superb hotel with great attention to detail. Beautifully laid out interior and gardens, great beach and pool areas, excellent restaurants, helpful and friendly staff. Well appointed room with every need catered for (little things like a well lit mirror over the dressing table make all the difference - surprising how many good hotels hang the mirror away from the dressing table - bizarre!). Our only complaint would be the price of the food and wine, but then that's probably true of all Dubai hotels. We will definitely return here. Thank you to the management and staff at Le Royal Meridien for a lovely stay. November 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ann05 Holiday of a life time Le Royal Meridien hotel is the best hotel we have stayed in Dubia .Due to the staff , who are excellent .Nothing was a bother to them to make sure our stay was so enjoyment .We had a wonderful stay at the Meridien June 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Clive4800 A Great Beachside Resort The hotel was very comfortable and our room in the Tower was good although the view was spoilt by the adjacent building works which also caused noise day & night. Reception warned us of this and offerred another (inferior) room if we would wait at check in. So situation was dealt with fairly and pleasantly. The grounds of the resort are magnificent and the food we tried, mainly the breakfast and dinner buffets, were excelent with great choice, quality and presentation. Very dissappionted that hotel did not participate in SPG programme - how can this be? With all the wonderful architechure and grounds the highlight of this property must be the staff who were first class. March 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by princess1969 Hotel has everything you need First of all I would like to thank the hotel for making our stay at the Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Hotel a wonderful experience. The staff where on par, facility's where excellent, food and service where second to none. We both enjoyed ourselves immensely, we wanted for nothing, if there was one downside about our stay, i regret in saying was that on several occasions we were awoken in the morning at 7am with the workman refurbishing the restaurant on lower ground, and also one of the lift shafts. But saying that!it was 100% team effort! Would definately stay here again, thank you, Best Regards. March 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grabaneck Outstanding Service From the moment we had experienced a super fast check in everything was outstanding. The suite we had was spacious and clean,fresh fruit and as much water as we wanted delivered daily. The service around the pool was the same cold towels, water sprays and slush iced drinks handed out throughout the day always with a smile in the 100 degree heat. Staff always on hand to help move sun beds and umbrellas . The children used the Penquin club and had great fun creating arts and craft. We ate in the Brasserie as the children are quite young the choices were excellant, two of them have serious food allergies and each day food was cooked for them. The staff went out of there way to ensure that the children ate well. Brandon, Paul and John went over and above duty to keep the children happy. We had need to use the hotels medical team within an hour we had seen a doctor and the prescription delivered to us this was exceptional and the team checked up daily to see how the patient was. The Duty Manager on duty assisted me with a request i had and he worked so hard to make sure my needs were met (Thank you Eddy). The grounds of the hotel are a pleasure to walk around i am sure no other hotel in theUAE have gardens to compare to these. A perfect holiday, Thank you All June 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AMB444 Great Holiday. This was our first time in Dubai, and right from the start we felt we'd picked the right hotel; - Polite and Attentive Staff delivering first class customer service. - Great Location within easy travel time / cost of things you'd want to do / see whilst there. - Pool / Beach areas outstanding. - Clean and well maintained throughout. - Great Gym. - Plenty of little extras that make the difference i.e. drink on arrival, upgrade for our anniversary, cake and champagne delivered to our room on our anniversary, bottled water and fruit left in the room every day...the list goes on. If you're thinking of staying in Dubai, do not hesitate to book this hotel - you will not regret it. May 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Johngo Smiling all the time Sonia and her guest relations team do a fantastic job of being the icing on the cake of what is an outstanding property. I love GH and I love LRM. This is an amazing property and is a great experience. Stay here soon! June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grumpy74 Return visits We have stayed at this hotel many times and it always reaches our expectations. All the staff are friendly and cannot do enough for you. The hotel has a wonderful selection of restaurants and has a great location on the beach June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BhavnaT74 Absolutely Awesome Stay and Royal Treatment My stay at the hotel was amazing. I can not fault the staff And service one bit. In fact the stay here was better than my stay at another 5* plus hotel seen from the beach. The staff at Le Royal Meridian know the true meaning of royal and the Treatment and service is proof of this. Will definitely be coming back to the hotel and am going to make it my regular hotel for all my future visits to Dubai. All the staff made it special fore and my mum although there were three members of staff who made it extra special. I have stayed in many hotels in Dubai but this I would personally class as the BEST in Dubai. February 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Donald73 Perfect Experience This is by far the best hotel that I have ever stayed in. My wife and I visited Dubai for one week to celebrate our ten year anniversary and she cried at least seven times. I was overwhelmed by the overall atmosphere of the hotel and competence of the staff. My wife has experience in the Hotel Management Industry and she was impressed by all aspects of this experience. 24 hour service, polite staff, superb food, beautiful facilities and perfect location. September 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sharon487 Another fantastic stay This was our third stay at the hotel, having previously stayed at others in Dubai, but we love Le Meridien. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they now a fully part of SPG and we received a room upgrade when checking in to a lovely Tower room - the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in, and a fantastic large room and bathroom. The facilities in the hotel are fantastic and the staff are some of the friendliest and helpful we have encountered on our travels. I would recommend this hotel without a doubt and strongly recommend the Club facilities - the new room the the Tower block is lovely and the food is much improved (nothing wrong with it previously but more choice now). May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Parsman Absolutely terrific hotel This was our fourth trip to Dubai, but our first visit to LRM. The hotel certainly exceeded our expectations. We have been lucky enough to have stayed in some great resort hotels around the world, and LRM is up at the top of our list. The size of the resort grounds is outstanding and you can always find somewhere suitable to sit or lounge. All of the restaurants offer very good food and great service. Most importantly of all, the staff are ALL extremely helpful abnd are genuinely happy to be at LRM. The guys at the Pool Bars are friendly and efficient. Our Towewr Room was large and very comfortable. We are looking forward to returning when the Executive Lounge in the Tower is open. October 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jildy 5th Visit to LRM I returned home today from 10 days at Le Royal Meridian, I was absolutely delighted with my stay from start to finish. This was the first time my daughters had visited Dubai and they were astounded by the service and professionalism of the staff at LRM, I wanted to personally thank Anjela for handling my reservation to perfection and also Shakeel who does the pool towels what a star he is ! The location of LRM is stunning and the professionalism shown by the entire staff is just amazing. We dined at Rhodes 2010 on two occasions during our stay and were treated like royalty. I am now counting the days to my next visit hopefully at New Year. Do not bother staying anywhere else in Dubai ! September 25, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Gkdubai has Gone slightly downhill Found the club room good but the shower temperature was impossible to control with the taps - One second very hot and then cold. Attended the Rhodes restaurant and was asked how i wanted my fish cooked ???. i answered properly which seemed to confuse. It then turned up raw and cold. Attended the brassiere and apart from being shown to a table was not extended any other courtesy as to buffet layout, chiefs cooking outdoors, type of food etc. Just left to work it all out for yourself. Not that difficult but supposed to be 5 star hotel. Generally felt standards have slipped in this hotel from our seats before and would think very hard before booking here again. Many other great choices in Dubai February 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marcelle This hotel is excellent The hotel has wonderful gardens, excellent facilities for children and adults. The spa is luxurious and peaceful. We celebrated our 10th anniversary and were pleasantly surprised by the delivery of a complimentary bottle of wine and a bouquet of gorgeous roses. June 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NeilLomax In my top 10 After an initially poor start to our trip due to some confusion at the airport over pick up time, this hotel, management and staff has blown us away with their service and facilities. As a SPG Platinum Elite member I stay in a lot of hotels, however this has quickly become one of my favorites. The staffs service level make a huge difference to the quality of your stay, With a 14 month son and 6 month pregnant wife this trip was always going to be a challenge, However the hotel and it's staff have made us feel comfortable and been considerate throughout. This is the first time I have written a review before the trip has even ended - that's how much I rate this place, I'm sure the last few days will be just as good and we will be back for certain. April 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kbee505 Exemplary Staff make this stay enjoyable. I was delighted with our arrival at Le Royal Meridien. Staff quickly helped with our luggage and directed us to reception. They were efficient and provided us with a room upgrade, a cool towel and a fresh mango juice! We were shown to our room and the features highlighted along with breakfast times etc. The room was very spacious and looked out over the pools and beach. Air-conditioning was wonderful in the 38 degree heat. All staff that we encountered were happy, polite and receptive to helping. Pool temperature was perfect and swimming at the beach was very special. We would love to return. August 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by traveller201410 Feel royal at Royal As from the moment of our arrival for a 4 day break we were received like royals till we departed. A magnificent hotel in every meaning of the word. Not only more than friendly staff that treated us like "royal" family, but also the nicely decorated and palace-like interior, the exquisite food, the welcome at the Royal Club (Tower), splendid room with a very nice pool, garden and sea view. Highly recommendable also the nice and quite location at the end of the beach before the Palm, although just a few steps away to the famous Walk on JBR and beach promenade. April 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by HJ52 This hotel is the best !!!! We have been coming here for the past seven years.All the staff are very pleasant and would try to accommodate all your requirements and needs.Mark deserves all the credit for running and managing this wonderful hotel with someone like Sonia on his team.

Rated 5 out of 5 by towerman123 one of the best I have stayed at the Le Royal Meridian many times over 10 years and have always enjoyed my visits, whether on my own on business or with my Children and Grandchildren it is always a pleasure. I have tried other hotels which offer different things such as a waterpark but this one is always my favourite. am oldie but a goodie May 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by FrankF One of the best hotels in the world, incredible service & facilities" This has always been one of my favourite hotels in the world. The service is outstanding, even better than before. Our butler, Roy was an absolute pleasure and nothing was too much trouble. The club facilities are fantastic, outstanding food at the high tea in the afternoons and a wonderful selection at the evening drinks and food. Three pools, 8 restaurants and the best spa make the experience incredible. You must try the 5 pools at the spa going from hot to freezing. The staff really make this hotel one of the best in terms of service and you have to sty here if you visit Dubai. The location is excellent, right at the beginning of the walk which is filled with great shopping and restuarants. February 8, 2013
