À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Your day begins with a short walk from the pier to the public jetfoil that will take you to Capri. After the scenic 30-minute cruise, you will transfer by private minibus to Capri Town. Here, you may follow your guide for an informative walk or explore independently.
At noon, meet for lunch with wine at the exclusive Hotel Quisisana or a similar hotel. Afterwards, take the minibus back to the pier and board a private motor launch for your cruise around the island. The highlight is your visit to the Blue Grotto, the cavern known for its iridescent blue waters. To access the cave, you will approach its entrance by motor launch, then climb aboard a small rowboat and enter the low, narrow mouth of the cave. Once inside, marvel at the grotto's intense blue hue and the silvery glow that radiates from the objects immersed in the waters below.
Should time, weather and sea conditions allow, enjoy visits to other caves characteristic to Capri, such as the Green Grotto, Coral Grotto and White Grotto, or take a refreshing dip in the ocean.
Then re-board your jetfoil for the return to Sorrento and your ship.
Please note: As this excursion involves extensive walking, including approximately one hour in Capri Town and the negotiation of steep and uneven surfaces, it is not recommended for guests with walking difficulties. It is recommended that guests dress in casual clothing and wear flat, comfortable shoes. Although guests are not expected to get wet on this excursion, any electronic devices (such as MP3 players, cell phones, cameras, etc.), as well as any valuable items must be stored in a sealable, waterproof dry bag or left on board the ship. Any damage occurring to these items is the responsibility of the guests. Entering the Blue Grotto, in particular, is subject to weather conditions due to the cave's small opening. If the water is high, guests may be asked to lie or crouch down in the boat to enter the Blue Grotto. Crowding and lines can be anticipated at the jetfoil and funicular stations. Lines will also form at the Blue Grotto because of the use of local rowboats, which cannot be pre-reserved. The transfer by jetfoil is not exclusive; however, the motor launch is exclusive. Availability of this excursion may be for a maximum of 12 guests only with no additional space becoming available. The operation of this excursion, including interior visits to the grottos and ocean swim, is dependent on sea and weather conditions. Should weather conditions and rough seas not allow the cruise around Capri by motor launch, a visit of Anacapri village with Axel Munthe Villa or Monte Solaro will be substituted. The order of sights visited may vary.
NOTICE: All Oceania Cruises shore excursion fares are listed per person, and are subject to change and availability. Some tours are capacity controlled and may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Tour departure times are subject to change so please reference your actual tour ticket for the correct departure time. Minor children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a an adult parent or guardian on all shore excursions. While Oceania Cruises makes every effort to adhere to the specifics mentioned in each shore excursion description, circumstances may require otherwise.

Wednesday night, Penn State's Board of Trustees announced the firing of Joe Paterno. This is upsetting news, but not nearly as upsetting as actual tragedies, like perhaps the ones that started this whole thing to begin with. But listening to John Surma, CEO of U.S. Steel and the Board's spokesman, sort through frantic, accusatory questions from the assembled mob, you'd think the firing of a football coach caused intense, lifelong pain for families with young children or something.
Surma was grilled at wavering volume about why the Board failed to worry itself sufficiently with Paterno's dignity, the medium by which Paterno was fired, and how long the Board has been "gunning" for Paterno, and this was before thousands of students gathered in pain and anger to bump up against each other and yell, "Wooooooooooo!"
Everybody made fun of it.
@TomFornelli Wow, some of the "questions' being asked. Denial is an incredible force.
@willbrinson Do all these reporters have their faces painted? What the hell.
@SBN_BillC Man oh man... RT
@DanWolken: The angry "reporters" are embarrassing themselves
@Unsilent Wow, the media is pretty pissed. This is like a town hall meeting in Pawnee, Indiana.
@edsbs Embarrassing SEC homer media types, I apologize. You're not alone, nor exceptional.
@runthedive Security probably should've done a pat down on reporters on their way into this presser. This is wild.
@billbarnwell Question/behavior of these journalists in the Penn State presser is the blogger strawman come to life.
@InTheBleachers Love the 'Lord of the Flies' questioning methods during this presser.
@38Godfrey My keen journal-o-senses are telling me a few butthurt JoePa fans have infiltrated this press conference.
@BarrettSallee Good Lord...some of these questions are mind-boggling.
@straightbangin from what i can tell, the psu press corps is most concerned about psu students not getting to waive to joepa in the press box this weekend
@SBN_BillC RT
@MarkHasty: After listening to these "questions" @ PSU presser, I don't want to hear any crap about pajamas-wearing bloggers ever again.
@MikePradaSBN Impressed with Surma here. These questions are unreal
@Nastinchka Gobsmacked at how coolly John Surma is conducting himself. I'd've slapped somebody long before now.
@dennisdoddcbs Joe toadies showing their ass, simple as that.
@Dan_Rubenstein The sound you're hearing is Penn State's journalism school freefalling down a US News and World Report list.
@SEC_Chuck I have the privilege of working with some of the best and most fair sports media in country everyday. I'm at a loss for words watching this
@CharlesRobinson The difference between national media questions & some of the local scribes is, uh, disappointing. Locals feel like they are lecturing.
@KegsnEggs Should end this presser with: "Thank you for your time tonight and good luck in your mother's basements, everyone."
@Mengus22 Yes. Asshats. RT
@tyduffy Did someone just complain about JoePa not getting "a little bit of dignity?"
@MichelleDBeadle Are these "actual" reporters asking questions?!? Holy cow...feels like a bad SNL skit. Kids were abused folks. Ruined. U sound like fools
@CFTalk I don't know who the diatribers are amongst the media asking questions at the Penn State press conference, but they should be embarrassed.
@towerofbammer Those Penn State reporters hurrying to post-press conf couch burning!
@theuconnblog Glad to see the media is keeping the Penn State BOT's feet to the fire on issues like legal fees and wacky-ass message board conspiracies
@testudotimes The last question was an LOL-worthy conspiracy theory. Unbelievable.
@matt_stewartcss The reporters at this press conference are an embarrasment to my profession.
@elevenwarriors Thank you, Penn State beat, for making bloggers look so professional.
@nickbaumgardner Whenever this settles, some credential rights need to be revisited in State College. Unreal.
@Dave_Matter I really want to believe there are some Penn State fans posing as reporters at this press conference. Please be true
@BryanDFischer Penn State local media: Absolute JOKE.
@PeteThamelNYT Surma has handled a difficult situation with aplomb here. The manic nature of the questions is unusual and he's stayed calm.
@IDS_BroncoBeat That was the strangest press conference I've ever seen.
@KyleTucker_CJ Sounded like they let some fans pretend to be reporters in that Penn State press conference. Shouting down the Trustees for firing Paterno?
@CaptainAnnoying That Penn St presser was a train wreck, and it wasn't the trustee answering questions -- it was the dipshit biased media barking them.
@ClayTravisBGID The Penn State homer press was insane. Never heard anything like that.
@MockingTheDraft WTF kind of presser was that? Were people asking questions dressed as lions?

Jamie Waylett Opens Web SiteMovies
June 12, 2004, 12:58 PM
Jamie Waylett (a.k.a Vincent Crabbe) has officially opened Jamie Waylett.com, his own personal Web site, where you can read his diary, view his personal pictures, and even leave him a message on his guest book. His latest diary entry talks about his, Tom Felton's and Josh Herdman's appearance on the ITV show Ministry of Mayhem:
"Tom Felton, Josh Herdman and I appeared on The Ministry of Mayhem, a kids programme on ITV. We all had a great time. We took part in a game where we placed a big cake on one end of a skateboard (mine was in the shape of a Crab) and jump on the other end, to send the cake flying up against a wall. Tom won of course, but me and Josh think it was fixed!"
Jamie has also sent along this pic of him, Tom and Josh on the Ministry of Mayhem show.
Also, Jamie still has a ton of questions to answer from Leaky readers; he will, it's just been a very busy couple of weeks for all the Potter people.

A Tampa cab driver, who was shot in the chest one week before Christmas, is facing yet another huge challenge.
In addition to the debilitating injury financial hardship caused by the incident has reared its head.
Annuel Delicieux and his family believe they are just days away from being evicted from their apartment. The 42-year-old man says they have a week at best before they become homeless.
On Sunday the Tampa man and his family were searching for answers.
"Well, for me now, I feel like I'm living a miserable life," Delicieux said of his predicament.
On December 18th he was shot while dropping off a passenger on West Chestnut St. in Tampa. The incident occurred at approximately 3 a.m. almost immediately after he stopped, two men approached.
"They just came and they circle my car, two of them," Delicieux explained. "Then they tell me, you got to give me the money."
The suspects told him to drop the cash on the ground and empty his pockets. When he went to retrieve the belongings from his pants, one of the men fired.
"So, when I tried to bend down to put my hand in my pocket, then he shot me," Delicieux said.
Even though he was bleeding profusely the cab driver drove away, slipping in and out of consciousness as he went. And with his fare still inside in the back seat, Delicieux crashed into a police cruiser.
"When they come get me, take me to the ambulance, I didn't know, I had passed out," he recalled.
The bullet came through his left arm and exited through his chest. Delicieux is lucky to be alive and he thanks God for that.
The bullet also made its way through his right arm, rendering it nearly useless. He can't even play guitar anymore, an activity he misses very much.
The stitches resemble railroad tracks running up and down his arm. He's already had several surgeries since the shooting.
As for the suspects who robbed and shot Deliciuex, they were eventually captured and charged with the crime. Both have extensive arrest records in Hillsborough County.
Kelin Tyrone Johnson, a 33-year-old convicted felon, has been and out of prison most of his adult life. He was arrested on January 2nd on kidnapping, battery, robbery and weapons charges.
Johnson was released from state prison in May. Detectives believe he is the one who fired the shots.
Ricky Offutt is facing similar charges. The 21-year-old suspect was arrested two days after the crime.
Delicieux, his wife and three girls have lived in their apartment for five years. His landlord Jeff Burger says they are a good family and he would hate to lose them as tenants. Unfortunately he has mortgage payments to make and can't afford to help them any longer.
Burger said the family was able to get some help from Hillsborough Social Services, to pay three months of their past-due rent.
With January rent due and beyond bills looming, Delicieux is sad, frustrated and unable to work.
"God knows what he can do with me," he said. "I don't have a choice now."
Delicieux said doctors will decide by Valentine's Day, if his arm has shown any improvement. If not, he could be out of commission for at least a year due to reconstructive surgery.

In a large company, employees are often distracted by browsing the Web. At the same time, the abundance of tech news, educational articles, and trend reports do aid in advancing the knowledge of an organization.
Now that Google Reader is being shuttered come July 1, you might be looking for an alternative Really Simply Syndication (RSS) reader. These high-tech offerings are geared to busy employees who need to visit one site, catch up on the news and get back to work. In other words, they simplify news reading.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Thousands petition Google not to kill off Reader. | Get your websites up to speed with HTML5 today using the techniques in InfoWorld's HTML5 Deep Dive PDF how-to report. | Stay up on the cloud with InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]
1. Feedly: Easy transition from Google Reader
One of the best news readers available, this brilliantly designed portal takes the technical RSS feeds of other sites and curates them into a home page. The top stories at the top provide a quick glance into the trending news of the day. Employees can select a general category such as Business and see the feeds from sites such as GigaOm and VentureBeat. Or you can import existing RSS feeds from Google Reader. In fact, the site now lets you log in with a Google account and immediately see existing feeds.
2. Zite: Laser-like focus on employee expertise
Zite's main advantage is that it breaks the news into smaller bits. There are 40,000 categories. Select the topics you like the most and sync Zite with social networking services such as Facebook and Twitter. For example, if an employee is based in Minnesota and tends to follow businesses located in that state, Zite will cull stories for that preference. The app only runs on the iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7 operating systems.

3. Skimr: Save on employee browsing time
Less is more with this news reader. Skimr removes all the complexity in "reading the Web" by truncating stories into simple one-paragraph boxes arrayed down the screen. The default view includes stories from popular sites such as TechCrunch and The New York Times, but you can also add custom domains. Unlike most readers, the simple design works equally well in a browser as on an iPad or smartphone. In addition, it's free. Finally, there are no unread article counters, so employees can focus on the top stories of the day with no distractions.
4. Fever: Run on your own Web server
One of the most interesting RSS readers in our lineup, Fever has the strongest feature set. While you pay $30 per license to access Fever, and while it still runs on the Web, you install it on your own Web server using PHP and MySQL. The reader then splits feeds into essential and non-essential. You can pick RSS feeds employees can't miss-say, database news or tech trend sites-that feed into hot lists. Conversely, low-priority feeds appear less often.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Authorities Thursday released the name of a man who police say pointed a realistic-looking mock assault rifle at officers during a standoff at a Core-Columbia retail/residential building, prompting one of them to fatally shoot him.
John Edward Chesney, 62, died inside his third-floor rental residence in the 900 block of Broadway about 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, according to San Diego police. Near where he had been standing just prior to his death, investigators found a black AR-15 replica pellet gun, Lt. Mike Hastings said.
The events that led to the shooting began about an hour earlier, when someone flagged down an officer to report seeing Chesney -- identified by neighbors as an Army veteran who had served in the Vietnam War -- at a window of his apartment, waving around what looked like a military-style semiautomatic rifle.
"Initial responding officers as well as emergency negotiators tried to communicate with the suspect, to no avail," Lt. Mike Hastings said.
Officers took up positions around the structure, which also houses a bar and a hamburger restaurant on the ground floor, and closed the east-west boulevard in front of it along with traffic lanes on nearby streets.
During the ensuing stalemate, the suspect "acted despondent and agitated," Hastings said.
Finally, Chesney allegedly raised the rifle toward police, prompting SDPD Sgt. Kerry Mensior, a 22-year department veteran, to fire about a dozen rounds into the window from below.
A SWAT team then entered the apartment, finding the suspect dead.
It was unclear what might have caused Chesney's erratic behavior, though people who knew him told police he apparently had been in a suicidal state of mind on the morning of his death.

(WMC-TV) - Plumbers and fire crews have been busy all week, responding to and repairing pipe issues following the record low temps.
Those types of problems hit the 16-story Exchange Building in downtown Memphis Wednesday. Residents were still experiencing pretty big issues Friday.
Tenants say the sprinkler and alarm systems began going off Wednesday morning. The pipes upstairs broke, sending water down the elevator shafts.
Larry Hale, who uses a wheelchair, does not have any other option than to stay upstairs.
"They're working on them as we speak and hopefully, I've got two tickets for the Grizzlies tonight, so I'd hate not to use them, but I'm sure I'll have a volunteer for them," said Hale.
Despite Hale inviting Action News 5's Lauren Squires into his apartment, the video camera was not allowed in the building. But Hale gave a tour that Squires was able to record with her iPhone.
Despite the inconvenience, Hale says management has checked on him every day. His friends and family are helping in the meantime.
"I can't really complain, I was open eyed when I moved in here, living on the 10th floor, confined to a wheelchair, I knew that there could be issues," he said. "I've been here three years and this is an exception that I can understand. I truly think they are doing their best."
The Exchange Building's management did not respond to Action News 5's requests for comment on the situation. But residents say they have been working all week long to clean up the mess.

It's one of the basic tenets of U.S. war propaganda that "we" are the good guys. It's always U.S. vs. Them: the evildoers…and no matter what our boys do to take on such monsters, we at home must always support the troops.
The next time you hear the "support the troops" bullshit, I suggest you remember that it usually means two things: 1. Support the policy that put the troops there in the first place 2. Ignore what those troops might be doing
The home of the brave claims it does not approve of torture as policy. For example, the State Department criticizes the Burmese military because it has "routinely subjected detainees to harsh interrogation techniques designed to intimidate and disorient." Cambodia has received condemnation due to "torture, beatings, and other forms of physical mistreatment of persons held in police or military custody continued to be a serious problem throughout the country." In China, "police and other elements of the security apparatus employed torture and degrading treatment in dealing with some detainees and prisoners." Out of Egypt comes "numerous, credible reports that security forces tortured and mistreated citizens." In Greece, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka…well, you get the idea. Across the globe, human rights are nothing more than a convenient issue to be bandied about by amoral leaders when a pretext for sanctions or war is needed.
What about the land of the free? According to a brand new report from Human Rights Watch (http://www.hrw.org), the US in Afghanistan is "maintaining a system of arrests and detention as part of its ongoing military and intelligence operations that violates international human rights law and international humanitarian law." This system, says the report, calls into question U.S. "commitment to upholding basic rights."
Stop me if you've heard it all before…
As Operation Enduring Freedom (sic) endures, the troops we're supposed to be supporting, no matter what, are doing things like this to detainees who've been denied POW status:
"Bright lights were set up outside their cells, shining in, and U.S. military personnel took shifts, keeping the detainees awake by banging on the metal walls of their cells with batons. The detainees said they were terrified and disoriented by sleep deprivation, which they said lasted for several weeks. During interrogations, they said, they were made to stand upright for lengthy periods of time with a bright spotlight shining directly into their eyes. They were told that they would not be questioned until they remained motionless for one hour, and that they were not entitled even to turn their heads. If they did move, the interrogators said the 'clock was reset.' U.S. personnel, through interpreters, yelled at the detainees from behind the light, asking questions."
As they say, if these are the good guys, I wouldn't wanna…you know the rest. Here are the conclusions reached by Human Rights Watch in the report:
U.S. forces regularly use military means and methods during arrest operations in residential areas where law enforcement techniques would be more appropriate. Members of the U.S. armed forces have arrested numerous civilians not directly participating in the hostilities and numerous persons whom U.S. authorities have no legal basis for taking into custody. Persons detained by U.S. forces in Afghanistan are held without regard to the requirements of international humanitarian law or human rights law. The general lack of due process within the U.S. detention system violates both international humanitarian law and basic standards of human rights law. There are serious concerns regarding the treatment of detainees at Bagram airbase, particularly in light of the failure of the United States to investigate and publicly report on several unexplained deaths in detention. There is credible evidence of beatings and other physical assaults of detainees, as well as evidence that the United States has used prolonged shackling, exposure to cold, and sleep deprivation amounting to torture or other mistreatment in violation of international law.
This is hardly news. On December 26, 2002, Dana Priest and Barton Gellman of the Washington Post wrote of detainees "sometimes kept standing or kneeling for hours, in black hoods or spray-painted goggles" or "held in awkward, painful positions and deprived of sleep with a 24-hour bombardment of lights."
Human Rights Watch says the U.S. detention policy in Afghanistan serves as "a poor example for other nations around the world," but don't hold your breath waiting for a full-fledged denial…because declaring war on a tactic (i.e. terror) means never having to say you're sorry.
Last year, Roger King, a U.S. military spokesman at Bagram, explained: "We do force people to stand for an extended period of time. . . . Disruption of sleep has been reported as an effective way of reducing people's inhibition about talking or their resistance to questioning. . . . They are not allowed to speak to each other. If they do, they can plan together or rely on the comfort of one another. If they're caught speaking out of turn, they can be forced to do things, like stand for a period of time-as payment for speaking out."
As another official told the Washington Post in December 2002: "If you don't violate someone's human rights some of the time, you probably aren't doing your job."
If you wanna sleep better tonight, try repeating this until catatonia sets in: "They hate us because we're free. They hate us because we're free. They hate us because we're free."

A very special birthday for Bradford woman Hilda
8:00am Monday 6th January 2014 in News
A Bradford woman celebrated her 100th birthday on Saturday, surrounded by friends and five generations of her family.
Hilda Hanson, who has a son, three grandchildren, 11 great- grandchildren and 22 great- great-grandchildren, was born and brought up in West Bowling, but is now a resident at Springfield Care Home on Halifax Road, Bradford.
Hilda, who has Alzheimer's disease, moved into the home in May 2011 with her husband Albert, who died eight weeks later. The eldest of six children herself, Hilda worked in the Bradford mills from the age of 14 and was later an auxiliary on the children's ward at St Luke's Hospital, forging a lifelong love of working and spending time with children.
Her granddaughter, Sue Godward, 59, said: "Hilda enjoys seeing the great-great-grandchildren and will always give them a little present. She loves life and has a great sense of humour, always laughing and smiling."

CREVE COEUR, Ill. -- In the summer, Kuchie's on the Water in Creve Coeur is more known as a bar with good food.
In the winter, the owners battle the drop in customers by concentrating more on the kitchen.
"Challenging is good," says Co-owner Jan Little. "We lose about 80 to 90 percent of the business during the winter, but we have really good food. People still come down here."
Kuchie's is owned by Little and Mike Kuchan, whom the restaurant is named after.
Kuchie's on the Water may have some standard bar food items, but you won't find them prepared the same way anywhere in the area.
"Hmm. No," Little agrees. "Half-pound Angus burgers. We do high-quality food. We do nice, big portions. There's a lot of to-go boxes that leave here."
The sauces and dressings are mostly home-made, such as the cheese spread I ordered as an appetizer.
Photographer Doug Smith ordered Coconut Shrimp and said he prefers more coconut.
The cheese spread is rich with a mild cheddar flavor and worth taking home in a container
Doug ordered a grilled ham and cheese sandwich and asked for a slice of pineapple on it. It's something Doug special orders occasionally, so it means a lot when he says a meal meets his standards.
I had the chicken tenders on ciabatta bread with grilled jalapenos, barbecue sauce, bacon and Swiss cheese, also known as the Moby Dick Sandwich.
You won't find this recipe anywhere else and its well worth the trek to Creve Coeur if you want to try it.
For dessert Doug had key lime pie and I had another specialty, the corn fritters.
They are the best I've had and we recommend ordering some chocolate sauce on the side.
And there are sweet potato fries with an amazing home-made cinnamon sauce.
Our bill with drinks was $45.25 plus tip.
In a month or so, be sure to check out the outside decks.
"We have one of the prettiest views of the river," Little says. "There's always something going on out there. There's always entertainment out the windows."
Kuchie's on the Water is located at 579 Wesley Road in Creve Coeur.
They are open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
They open at noon on Sunday and are closed Monday.

Score from 737 reviews Very good
I loved the location of this hotel.It was in walking distance to resturants, bars, subway,Bryant;s park, Macy's, Times Square. You could see the lights of the Empire state building really close at nights, got some really great pics.Within my third day in New York I was able to move around on my own at times and this was my first visit there. Breakfast was good and staff greeted us warmly. I would recommend this hotel to anyone ( even if it's your first visit like me)
When travelling I tend to pack "light" and because of the length of my stay I wished there was the use of a laundry for guest.
Amazing is all I can say
Location suited me personally. Staff was helpful.
Very expensive as most hotels in NY, overpriced, but not the worst. Lot of noise from the street.
Location, room, large bed
Everyday same ordinary breakfast, would like more healthy options, wifi sometimes unstable.
Very clean and modern. Breakfast was a nice bonus.
Great location next to subway stop Friendly and very helpful staff Free breakfast and excellent wifi
Small room but in NY standard and comfortable
Very easy walk from Penn Station and several met or stops. Ideal base for exploring New York.
Comfort, value
Times no hot water or tea at breakfast. But it was supplied when asked.
The staff were amazing and friendly. The rooms were also good and comfortable and clean. The city view was always a pleasure to see at sunrise and in the evenings.I loved the gym, it's small but at least the facility is there for fitness. The location is really good and practical. Tea and coffee was available at all times. Over all a good place to stay.
The price I got for the room was higher than other hotels there. I've been to many hotels in Europe, and SA, and this was the first time I experienced having breakfast in disposable plates and cups. I expected better for the price I paid, I don't know, is it a trend in all American hotels? The breakfast was also with limited choice but good.
excellent breakfast included
mattress & pillows on the soft side. I stayed at this hotel quite a bit when it first opened and was very impressed with the bedding.
Staff warm , friendly and "very helpful"! Very good breakfast! Also love having coffee in room and the "pitchers" of cold water always available in the breakfast room.
Room small but adequate. Very poor lighting. Shower great, good hot water and water pressure. Unfortunately there is a tendency for water to leak out and wet the floor.
the international phone of the cost in room crazy price, too bad!!1
staff was friendly and helpful.
all was fine
It is a new building, free WiFi and breakfast in the morning. Breakfast was the same each day which was fine because you get eggs, sausage, cereal, bagels, muffins, juice, coffee etc. It's located in the flower district so when you leave in the morning you're greeted by beautiful plants and flowers. Parking is off site but reasonably priced for NY.
It's a 15 minute walk to Times Square. At night it's fine because of the amount of people but when you turn down 23W where the hotel is on it's kind of dark and not a lot of people which made us a bit nerves but it's only 2 minutes to the door. It would be better if that street had more lighting.
Clean and tidy. Good location!
the location, cleans, quiet, price.
It is not enough room for the desk, the breakfast was not enough for all the customers, the wi-fi has to be reseted every time is in use.
I liked the location and the complimentary breakfast.
The room was very small. It was just enough room for a suitcase. The room was supposed to sleep four. With luggage, four people would not fit in that space at all!! Thank goodness, it was only two of us!
Staff was available at all times and helped us find anything we asked about, I believe it was Brittney that went above and beyond for us, definetly would recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable safe good location in the city. Room on the small size but it's New York, you shouldn't spend to much time in it anyway!
Room little small
Breakfast was good. Bed and pillows were perfect. Street was interesting in days
Room was to small for 4 No bus service for activities
We had a very clean and quiet room, plus we received good service from the friendly and helpful staff.
The smallness of the hotel and the ease of getting to your room and leaving. Elevators very fast and efficient. Friendly staff.
The street was frequently lined by smelly trash and quite narrow sidewalk with all the plants and such. Creepy at night.
when i called for taxi for a dinner date and the a limo showed up. surprisingly, it was very affordable and my date loved it. made both our nights.
The location (close to the Empire State Building, Times Square) Two metro stations nearby Nice room, with a king size bed, TV, bathroom with bathtub Empie State Building view from our window Breakfast correct with coffee, juices, bagels, good pastries, eggs, etc. The price was good (we had a promotion)
The staff didn't seem to be aware of the Booking promotion, thinking it was maybe an error, so it was kind of embarrassing, but there were really nice, so it was not a big deal
Location is very nice. 10 min walk to Times Square. 5 min walk to Empire State Building. Personnel is very friendly.
Breakfast could be better, but it is OK.
Location, although the street is somewhat poor
Prices went 100 USD up on business days

Neil Rackers has won the Texans' placekicking job after a solid performance this preseason, displacing incumbent Kris Brown, according to PFW's Texans correspondent John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.
Brown, who has been with the Texans since the franchise's first season in 2002 and was the team's last original player, connected on only 66 percent of his field-goal attempts in 2009. The team signed Rackers, a former Pro Bowler in Arizona, this past offseason to compete for the PK duties. Each was productive in preseason action, with Rackers making all five of his FG attempts and Brown connecting on 4-of-5 attempts.
In PFW's season preview issue (on newsstands now), the Texans' kicker was listed as the No. 11 fantasy option at the position. A year ago with Arizona, Rackers made 16-of-17 FG attempts and 37-of-38 PATs.

It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
Fiskars Squeeze Punches are by far my favorite tools! See how easy it is to create this trio of Easter cards using just regular and scalloped circles. Layering, cutting and arranging these basic shapes is all you need to do to paper piece these sweet spring animals.
1. Cut 3 – 3 inch squares from pastel pattern paper for the foundation of each animal. Next, Squeeze Punch Round 'n Round and Seal of Approval shapes from coordinating pattern paper.* Bunny – 1 XL circle for head, and 2 large circles for the ears* Lamb – 1 XL scalloped circle and 1 large circle for head, 1 large scalloped circle for brow, 1 medium circle for ears and 1 Pop-Up Punched Circle for the nose* Chick – 1 XL circle for body, 1 large circle for head, 1 large scalloped circle for wings and 1 medium circle for bow
2. To create the Bunny's ears, trim portions of the circle with the same circle punch by positioning the punch off center to make a leaf shape. Use adhesive foam to give the head dimension and position the ears off to the left in order to create the effect that it is looking up towards the butterfly punch added later. Also position a small triangle nose and eyes dotted with acrylic paint up and to the right on the face.
3. For the Lamb, layer the scalloped circle behind a circle adhered with adhesive foam. Cut a medium circle in half for the ears. Again use a circle squeeze punch to trim a portion of a whole punch, the scalloped circle. This will be the fur on the brow of the lamb. The nose is simply a small Pop-Up Punch circle cut down to a wedge shape. Place the eyes on the lower half of the face.
4. To make the Chick, layer body and wings. Again use adhesive foam to give dimension to the head. Use a small triangle for the beak and position the eyes on the lower half of the head at the outer corners of the beak. Create the bow in the same fashion as above by removing portions of the medium circle to make a bow shape.
5. Adhere the paper pieced squares to the center of 5 x 5 cards from white cardstock. Using Fiskars' new Interchangeable Border Punches, punch several decorative strips and adhere just below each square.
6. Apply butterfly punch, flower stickers and button to center of bow to complete the cards.
My Mind's Eye pattern paper
acrylic paint (blue and white)
flat end of a paint brush to use for dotting the eyes

SANFORD - The state said they would tear down the entire town of Sanford if nothing was done about the sewage there. To keep that from happening, the city council just approved a million dollar loan to help pay for a $2 million sewer, and not everyone's happy about it.
The new sewer system means a monthly increase in utilities from approximately $40 to $70. A price many say they can't afford, while others say the town will die if nothing is done.
With a population of just over 160, Sanford residents know they live in a small town. But they say just because it's small, doesn't mean it has be run down. Yet, it is.
"Nothing has been done for years in this town and it needs to come up, because it is going down," Mayor Pro Tem Fern Whipkey said.
Dozens of homes sit abandoned because of the stench from broken septic tanks and uncovered cesspools.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has deemed the soil in much of the town contaminated.
"The state can come in here any time and shut this whole city down," Whipkey said.
Whipkey signed off Monday on an offer from the USDA to build a sewer system for the entire town.
The upgrade will cost over $2 million dollars, the USDA is providing a grant for $931,000, and city residents will have to pay the rest, raising utility bills by at least $43.
Right now that cost is only split 81 ways, but if problems are fixed, residents hope more people and more businesses could move in to town and those rates could go down.
Whipkey says no one will move to Sanford right now because no banks will grant loans for a home with no sewage system. She also says the sewer will raise the value of homes and make insurance cheaper.
Despite projected benefits from a new sewer, many, including Sanford Mayor Bernard Pacheco, also know as Mule Skinner, only see a burden.
"We're not going to have families move in if we're adding $70 a month to their monthly bills," Skinner said.
Skinner says he knows so many people on fixed incomes who are already struggling to get by, that he refused to sign off on the USDA loan.
"I feel that if I would have signed it, that I would have been biblical in taking care of the people here that elected me as mayor," Skinner said.
Regardless, Whipkey signed off on the deal for him.
"We're trying to improve the city," she said.
A high price she's willing to pay, she says, to make her hometown safe and sewage-free.

Celebrities Who Underwent Plastic Surgery
Many people are in their quest to achieve physical beauty. This is why more and more options are now available to help enhance the appearance. From wrinkles to varicose veins, treatments are available and are provided by doctors from different parts of the world like Annapolis and Cedar Rapids. If you have those twisting blue and purple lines on the surface of your skin, you may consider getting varicose veins treatment in Cedar Rapids. This will give you more confidence to show off your skin. State of the art varicose vein treatment in Annapolis is also available and that includes Clarivein, Endovenous Laser Ablation and Venefit Closure.
If regular people like us are bothered with our physical flaws, what more the celebrities? They are always under the prying eyes of the public and they are also expected to look their best all the time. This may be the reason why a lot of them resort to plastic surgery. These procedures are very common, not just to celebrities, but even for normal people. Some celebrities have admitted to it, but some still don't, though they look completely different then and now and here are some of them.
Joan Rivers
This comedian, actress and host had been the entertainment industry for years and she's popular as one of the hosts of Fashion Police. She is open when it comes to the different procedures that she had throughout the years, including liposuction, tummy tuck, breast reduction and face lift. She also gets Botox regularly to maintain her wrinkle free skin. She even joked that she already had 739 procedures done for cosmetic purposes.
Ashley Simpson
Ashley is a singer and actress, and also the sister of another popular celebrity, Jessica Simpson. She had a nose job, which improved the appearance of her nose. This made the star even more beautiful.
Heidi Montag
She started appearing in the reality series Laguna Beach, since she was Lauren Conrad's friend, who was one of the main casts. Heidi then became a regular on the spin off show, The Hills. The already gorgeous blonde underwent several surgeries to further enhance her appearance, but didn't get the result she was hoping for. Many considered hers as one of the worst in celebrity surgeries. Some of the procedures that she received were breast implants, rhinoplasty, butt augmentation and brow lift. She admitted of regretting it and underwent breast reduction as her implants were too big.
Janice Dickinson
Known as the first supermodel, she was one of the most successful in her modeling years. She became a judge in the hit model search America's Next Top Model. Janice is now running her own modeling agency. Being in the business where you need to always be beautiful, she opted for various procedures, which she is proud of. Botox, facelift and tummy tuck are some of the treatments she had.
The Goddess of Pop is still popular in the entertainment industry. She's not just a singer but an actress as well. She had breast augmentation, as well as some procedures done on her teeth.
If you are thinking of getting plastic surgery like these celebrities, make sure that you do it only with an expert who is certified by the board and who specializes in the area that you need help with. This is to make sure that you achieve the result you wish to get.
Online Music Education
It's a fairly common practice for parents of young children to encourage them to learn how to play a musical instrument.

However, if the child's interest in music extends beyond that of learning an instrument, the parent's support will often waver. They are concerned about future personal development and employment prospects because they're just not aware of all of the benefits associated with a degree in music education.
A parent has no reason to be concerned about their child's desire to study music education though. In no way is it a dead end pursuit because an online music education opens the doors to a wide range of career and educational opportunities. Even within the realm of music, the career options are almost limitless: public or private school teacher, music tutor, studio singer or musician, booking/talent agent, music librarian, talent scout, sound technician, music distribution, and the list goes on.
A bachelor's degree doesn't limit future educational prospects either. It's possible that the child will want to continue his or her education and earn a master's degree in a non-music related field. Many people earn a bachelor degree in music education, but then continue on in their education to become doctors, lawyers, and scientists.
More than Just Music
Even if the degree recipient doesn't want to pursue further education or a career in music, a music education degree is valuable to them in a real world job search. Employers looking to hire people are searching for the types of personal and professional skills that are acquired by music education students during the course of their studies.
A bachelor's degree in music education doesn't limit the recipient to a life of filling out job applications with no success. The fact that someone has earned a bachelor's degree means that he or she is now qualified for any posted job that requires one. Although it may not seem to make sense that someone with a music education degree would be hired for, say, an office administrative position, consider that employers understand that those who have earned a bachelor's degree have developed strong work ethics, work well under pressure, and that they studied a wide range of courses, not just music.
What Employers See
In addition to the fact that the applicant has proven to be industrious because he or she has worked hard to earn a music education degree, the employer also knows that because of the type of degree earned, the applicant would make an exceptional employee for the following reasons:
Teamwork: It is intrinsic to music. Students of music education are required to work with others and, by the time they graduate, their teamwork skills are well-honed.
Personal accountability: As a musician, the student is required to study, practice and master musical pieces, the majority of which must be done in private. This requires a strong sense of personal accountability on the student's part.
Creativity and personal comfort: Potential employers know that anyone with a music education degree is creative by nature and comfortable with themselves. They also know that type of person makes for a great employee and coworker.
Identifying Patterns: A big part of music education is the ability to identify patterns in music and master them. This skill is often translated into work as a computer programmer, for example.
For those who have earned a degree in music education, it's not necessarily all uphill. Employers know what they're looking for in an employee and, regardless of the fact that the jobs for which one may apply aren't directly associated with music, their music education degree will put them well ahead of many other contenders.
Things To Consider When Buying A New Car
A new car is something that most people will have at one point in time or another. Yet, there are many things that you need to consider when buying a new car. Most people would think that since this is new, there is really nothing to think about, but there are just as many things to think about when compared to buying a used car. Through thinking about these aspects, you can ensure that the new car that you get is going to be one that fits your every need.
1. The price of insurance
With a new car, you can expect to pay more for insurance than what you currently pay for the car you drive. The reason for this is that newer cars are valued higher, since they would cost more to insure. However, the more safety features that the new car has on it is going to drop the price of insurance. The key to remember in this situation is that you need to get a quote to see if the car is really something that you can afford to insure. Definitely check out some of the sites that look at various kinds of insurance coverage, shop around, and make smart and economical choices.
2. Learn how to negotiate
When you are buying a brand new car you need to remember that the price is not set in stone. You will want to negotiate the price in order to get the best deal that is available. Car lots list a price that is often higher than what they really need to make in order to make a profit, since car lots buy these cars from the manufacturer for a fraction of the price of what you are paying. So, be prepared to negotiate. And if there is no negotiation to be had, consider going to another lot and working with a new salesman to find the deal that best fits your financial needs.
3. New cars do lose their value
As soon as you drive off the car lot, you are going to lose resell value. You need to factor in whether this is a financial investment or not. For the most part, cars are not wise financial investments in order to make more money in the long run. However, they can still be a good investment if you are looking to have lower maintenance costs when compared to your current vehicle.
4. Read your sales contract closely
The sales contract is going to have your warranty information and all the necessary information that you have discussed with the salesman. You need to read this carefully to ensure that there is nothing in the contract that could hurt you later. Once you sign a contract, the car is yours and you want to ensure that you are getting a good deal.
Buying a new car is an exciting experience. Yet, this is not something in which a person should jump into. The more hasty the approach, the more likely you are going to find that you did not get a good deal. If you take the time, know your approach and go through the process with efficiency, this can be a great experience.
How to Prevent Being Bored to Death During Job Training
No matter what type of job you have, more than likely you have to take job training classes. Many professions require that their workers take these training classes upon entering into a job with the company and still make workers take these every so often, like once or twice a year. These training courses can be especially boring when you are learning about what you do on a daily basis. There is no wonder that so many people are looking for ways to prevent their boredom during these job training classes. There are several things that you can do to avoid the boredom, and more likely the inattention that you are paying to these courses.
1. Contribute to the class
If you contribute to the class in some way, whether this is sharing an experience or even asking questions, you are going to ensure that you are listening to what the class instructor is telling you. Through actively listening because you know that you are going to contribute, you are going to avoid boredom. In fact, you may find it even educational or fun to be in these classes.
2. Participate with the group activities
If your class allows for group activities, yet these are optional, be sure that you are participating. You are going to find that this will make the time go faster, and you never know when you may learn something new that can be beneficial to your career. Whether you want to become a forklift driver or a disc jockey, make sure you participate in the group. After all, what you are studying is your chosen career path!
3. Do not watch the clock
This is one of the main reasons that people become bored during training courses. They may sit there and simply stare at the clock, watching time slip them by. The old saying that time will pass slower when you are watching it is true. Therefore, avoid looking at the clock, your cell phone or your own personal watch.
4. Utilize breaks as you should
Most training courses are going to put in a few break periods, and you need to use these to the best of your ability. Instead of simply sitting there and waiting for the course to go on, get up and walk around a bit. Talk to others in the class and take the time to recharge your brain and body. If you do this, you are going to be able to pay attention better and you can avoid feeling bored.
5. Don't go into these courses with a negative mindset
If you go into the course knowing that you are going to be bored, you are going to be bored. The fulfillment of these types of courses are based a lot on your mindset. Instead, going into these training courses with the idea that you are going to learn something new or at least learn more about concepts that you are already embracing. Through having a positive mindset you can beat boredom easily. Although some of these kinds of courses can be downright dull, sometimes you will find some training that is actually worthwhile. When you do – be thankful!
Training courses may not be that great to listen to when they are focused on the job that you already do. But, being bored in these types of classes does not have to be automatic. Through having the right mindset and utilizing these tips listed, you can make these courses a learning experience that you enjoy.
What I Would Do If I Wasn't In Radio
Being involved in radio is a career path that I throughly enjoy. However, it was not always the career path that I was interested in. If I were not involved in radio, there are many career options that I would consider.
1. Journalist
This does go along with the radio career, since this is all in the field of communications, specifically broadcast communications. The difference would be that this would require more writing and reporting. Both of which are rather interesting and something that most communication majors have at one point toyed with doing.
2. Television Anchor
Being a television anchor is a dream for many kids, as all they see is being on TV and reading a few paragraphs of information. However, there is a bit more to this than that. TV anchors have to read precisely and very fast when they reading from these teleprompters. In addition, the anchor has to be fairly well at communicating with their co-host in order to create a unique television show that people are going to want to watch.
3. Doctor
What kid has never thought about being a doctor? Most kids want to do something that matters, and being a doctor is one way to do this. Saving lives and being respected among your community are just a few reason to consider being a doctor. Of course, you need to have some bedside manner and be rather smart in order to keep up with the changing health worries of the world. It is an extremely stressful job that keeps most doctors from having a normal life that most people enjoy. A good alternative to becoming a doctor would be to become a phlebotomist as the training is quite a bit easier.
4. Teacher
Teachers are the foundation of the world as they are who teach the upcoming generations what they need to know. Most people look at the teaching profession as being one of the easiest professions since teachers get summer off, yet being a teacher is a year round profession. During their time off, teachers are preparing for the coming months of teaching. Plus, they have to do a lot of customer service type of deals since they are dealing with rowdy kids and parents who question their grades and methods of teaching.
5. Truck Driver
Truck drivers get to see the world. Especially, those who drive routes that take them across state lines frequently throughout the week. It would seem that driving would be an easy career choice. Yet, the responsibility and stress of driving large loads across state lines, adhering to specific laws required for truckers and being on a time crunch can make this career very stressful. Though, truck drivers do deliver many goods and products that everyone wants and needs in their area, so it can be rather rewarding as well.
Every career out there is going to have good and bad points. And every person is better suited to some careers than others. In order to truly enjoy your career, you have to find the one that fits your tastes and is something that you love doing in order to fully enjoy the career.

Officers say a 13-year veteran of the Delhi Police Department was found dead Thursday morning.
The police department first received a call about an unresponsive male. Upon arrival, responders found 36-year-old Robert W. Buhrlage deceased.
The Hamilton County Coroner's Office was called to the scene and is now conducting an autopsy to determine a cause of death. While foul play is not suspected, police say Buhrlage's death remains under investigation pending the autopsy report.
Police say he did not have any ongoing illnesses they knew of. Buhrlage grew up in the area and was a graduate of Oak Hills High School.
A family friend tells FOX19 he ran the Flying Pig Marathon in honor of 4-year-old Austin Doll, the child of a close friend who died of a head injury several years ago.
They say he also participated in a number of other fundraising events in Austin's memory.

The Utica
The Utica is Canada's newest shale play and has relatively few players. The Utica shale gas play covers an area of approximately 5,000 square kilometers and runs along Quebec Canada's St. Lawrence River shoreline in the St. Lawrence Lowlands. The heart of the Utica Shale trend in Quebec is massive, bounded by the Yamaska Fault to the north-east, which roughly follows the St. Lawrence river through this area, and the Logans Line fault system to the south-west. The play's Fairway extends along the St. Lawrence from roughly Montreal to Quebec City covering an area of over 1.1 million acres or roughly 2,400 square miles. Drilling depths vary from 800 to 2,500 meters with shale thickness ranging between 75 and 300 meters.
Industry experts peg total recoverable resources from 5 to 25 trillion cubic feet (TCF).Gastem, v.GMR is the one company with fantastic properties on both the Utica Shale and Marcellus Shale. Currently way undervalued and poised to have a fantastic 2011 !To see a fantastic video on natural gas horizontal shale drilling, just click below and scroll down.http://www.gastem.ca/gastem-operations.php

Frank Gordon has returned to once again take up the reins as CEO of High End Systems Inc., the Austin, TX-based manufacturer of moving lights.
Gordon originally joined High End in March 1998 and, under his leadership as CEO, the company experienced two of its most profitable years ever. He left High End six months ago.
Lowell Fowler, founder and chairman of High End Systems, says, "Frank was our first CEO from outside our industry. He showed us a lot about the business of business as a seasoned professional with a very solid background. We showed him what we like to do and he helped us become more profitable doing it. In that process, he built great respect for, and from, our customers and the other players in our unique business. I think he truly learned to like what we do, too. High End is happy Frank's back and we look forward to his positive contributions."
Gordon says he's excited about rejoining High End after a six-month absence: "Being back in the saddle at HES feels like coming home. I love this industry and the people at High End Systems, and I firmly believe that despite the economy, we are like a thoroughbred horse that is a contender in every race. With the great team we've got at High End and the commitment to succeed, I have no doubt we'll be out in front and will continue to do great things. I would like to especially thank John Wiseman and the entire management team for their confidence in me, and I greatly look forward to our future together."

The crux is pulling the 3 intimidating bulges 160 feet off the ground. The route is well protected though, and offers great climbing. You can do the route in 3 separate pitches if you are worried about rope drag, but doing it one long rope stretcher isn't a problem (make sure you have 60m or longer 50m will be to short)
While facing the Stoned Wheat Thin Cliff, the route goes up the wide crack on the far left, then moves out onto the left arete, and after about 20-30 feet moves onto the face. Pull the 3 bulges near the top. The top is very flat and big and offers a perfect stance to belay your partner to the top while enjoying the stunning views of the Sierra's. Walk off is to the left, you can go right but it exposes you to a nearly 200 foot fall if you slip.

There is no such thing as a casino licence in ireland. And, there isn't actually any need for them to list it in the description.
The casino would be, I imagine, a part of the hotel building. So that's all they need to mention, it just becomes an area in the hotel, and wouldn't be listed, like the restaurant for example. It would obvious shown on the plans, but I doubt it called casino anywhere, cardroom or members club would be most likely (as that is what it would be from a legal standpoint). Slots or anything like, might be a licence, but that would be no different to a games arcade getting through the process.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
NORCROSS -- Skeletal remains found in a wooded area near Jimmy Carter Boulevard are those of a 16-year-old runaway girl missing since August, police said Thursday.
Police believe someone killed Maritza Yepez, but they say it's not clear how she died. Dental records verified her identity.
Yepez, who resided with her aunt in Lawrenceville, had a track record of running away. She was last seen alive Aug. 23, said Gwinnett police spokesman Officer Brian Kelly.
"I'm not sure if her parents are around or in a different country," Kelly said. "She had a history of leaving home for days at a time. (Her disappearance) didn't cause any great alarm right away."
Yepez's death is being investigated as a homicide, and foul play is suspected. The investigation has "noted elements of homicidal violence" associated with her death, but police have not released an official cause, Kelly said.
Police weren't sure if Yepez attended school in the Gwinnett system. School authorities referred all questions back to police.
A man walking his dog off Forest Vale Drive came across Yepez's body Dec. 6 and called police. Near her remains lay several changes of clothes, including jeans and T-shirts.
Police believe the body was in the woods for several months.
Detectives "are actively trying to piece together the last days and hours of Yepez's life," Kelly said.
Police withheld the original missing persons report Thursday because it's considered "to be germane to the ongoing investigation," Kelly said. They ask for the public's help in charting Yepez's final days.
Investigators urge anyone with information about the case to call the Gwinnett County Police Department at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS.
Anonymous tips are welcome and could lead to a reward of up to $2,000.
