It's been widely speculated that James van Riemsdyk would play center for the Toronto Maple Leafs between Phil Kessell and Joffrey Lupul, with plenty of positive and negative opinions on the potential lineup out there. Now a couple months since the rumors started, it's taken a step toward being put to rest: James Mirtle reported via Twitter that the reports were overblown and exaggerated.
Randy Carlyle says reports that JVR will play centre were all overblown. Wants to try different things down middle, etc.— James Mirtle (@mirtle) September 10, 2012
In other words, we may or may not see JvR starting at center this coming season. Some will tell you this is a good thing and can only be a positive given the level of players that will all see the ice at once. Others might not be so quick to jump on the bandwagon though.
The Leafs Nation took a look at the possibility, and gave some reasons why it wouldn't be a good idea. For one, the Maple Leafs have a perfectly good center in Mikhail Grabovski who is plenty capable of playing both ways and setting the pace. For two, van Riemsdyk hasn't really ever been that momentum-driving player that you want your center to be.
Regardless, the Tweet linked doesn't totally eliminate the possibility of JvR lining up between Kessell and Lupul, what with the desire to "try different things" at the position, but at the very least, the Maple Leafs don't appear to be putting all of their eggs in that basket.

Buccaneers' linebacker Lavonte David's late hit on Jets' quarterback Geno Smith will cost the second-year player more than just a loss on the field. David is being fined $7,875 by the NFL for the out-of-bounds blunder, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Tampa Bay linebacker moved the Jets into field-goal position after he was penalized for hitting Smith after the QB scrambled to the sideline.
The penalty that gave the Jets an extra 15 yards allowed for New York kicker Nick Folk to boot the 48-yard game-winning field goal. The Jets won the game, 18-17, and David has been publicly criticized by the media and fans for the late hit.
Rapoport also reports that David plans to appeal the suspension. The Buccaneers will host the New Orleans Saints in Week 2 at Raymond James Stadium. The game will take place at 4:25 p.m. ET on Fox.

Binjara Traders re-opens on Circle
Date: December 7, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Binjara Traders re-opened Friday, Dec. 4, at 362C John Ringling Blvd., on St. Armands Circle, three weeks after smoke damage from a Nov. 13 fire damaged its entire inventory.
The new location is across the street from the women's clothing and jewelry store's old spot at 327 John Ringling Blvd.
According to owner Cleon Dixon, who was in Australia when the fire occurred, the fire began in Binjara Traders' upstairs storeroom. The cause of the fire is unknown. Dixon plans to move back to the old location after the building is rewired.
"Hopefully we'll get the original one up and running as soon as possible," she said.
Dixon said the fire destroyed $160,000 in merchandise, which was replaced by insurance.

Tara Hudson's fascination with ghosts goes back to childhood days spent with her
grandmother, who would take her out to a strange cemetery guarded by rusted iron gates and tucked into the
mountains of south-eastern Oklahoma. Only later did she learn that this place was her family's graveyard. Ever
since, she's continued to visit cemeteries – with her two closest girl friends. After a particularly eerie visit, she
began writing a story to entertain them, imagining a ghost girl, Amelia, and the living boy who can truly see
her. It became 'Hereafter', the haunting story of loss and first love.

A departure from the safe earth tones of most hotels, this luxury boutique hotel is bright and bold, with a cacophony of colors and patterns that feels decadent rather than overwhelming—and is a lot of fun. Birds in flight cover the ivory-colored guest roomwalls; auburn hexagons carpet the floor; and multi-colored tartan decorates the headboard. Service is top-notch, delivering complimentary goldfish, yoga mats, and forgotten travel items on request. A staff dog serves as greeter on the weekends, and guest pets receive treat baskets, beds, and water bowls. Guests receive a discount at the Dosha Spa on the first floor and there's a complimentary wine reception every evening in the lobby.

I am pretty sure that I am not alone among Buffalo Bills Fans when I say I am ready for the season to start. That said there are still several weeks in front of us and I am board so I am tossing this out there. We all know that the loss of Kiko is huge, but I don't think it will kill our playoff hopes. That said my question for the Fans out there is what player (other than Kiko) can the Buffalo Bills NOT afford to lose. I.E. if this guy goes down all hope for the playoffs is lost. I would love to hear your thoughts and why.
To get the ball rolling I would say Mario Williams - he will be the main key for our pass rush this year, also unlike the Kiko Injury where we have some depth (not fully proven, but depth) I don't see a whole lot of depth on the line, especially pass rushers who can dominate like he can when he is on.

multi-effects has been a boon to beginners
and a secret weapon for pros since its inception.
Neophytes enjoy being able to test
drive many Boss effects for not much more
than the price of a single pedal, and for some
professionals, these compact effectors packs
enough processing power for rehearsals or
small gigs that don't warrant a full pedalboard
or rack system. The ME-25 is a new
model in this classic series, replacing the
No subtle upgrade, the ME-25 ($276
retail/$199 street) completely revamps the
layout, operation, and character of this
multi-effect pedal. For starters, while the
ME-20 contained 17 effects geared for
hands-on performance with everything laid
out in four rows right on the face, the ME-
25 adds amp modeling and requires slightly
more sophisticated programming to get
the maximum bang for its minimal bucks.
Also, where the 20's three footswitches
accessed individual effects as well as programs,
the 25 uses two footswitches only
to scroll up and down through programs,
and the third to tap delay tempos, control
the new loop function, or engage a "Solo"
boost for any patch.
One of the major upgrades is the use of Roland's COSM modeling to add amplifiers.
This allows you to plug the ME-25
directly into a mixing board for recording
or live performance. If you wish to use the
pedal's effects through a stack or combo,
you can simply create a group of patches
with the amp modeling shut off.
The ME-25's Sound Library lets you
choose among six tonal starting points—
Clean, Crunch, Drive, Lead, Heavy, and
Extreme—by pushing the appropriately
labeled button. A knob then selects ten
variations of each type. You can then immediately
access drive, tone, and volume
parameters from three more knobs, enter
edit mode, add or delete effects, and save
to a user program slot.
While the ME-25's reconfiguration
seems more a lateral move than an
advance, its USB capability is a definitive
leap forward. Hook this baby up to your
computer and it functions as an audio
interface, for recording and monitoring
through any USB cable. No DAW? It comes
bundled with Cakewalk SONAR 8.5 LE
software. The USB connection also lets
you use included software to save and edit
sounds onscreen.
I tested the ME-25 with my Fernandes
T-type and Danelectro Dead On '67 guitars.
I have always appreciated the sound
and response of Roland's COSM modeling;
for me, it is less a case of it sounding
"authentic" than that it sounds musical
and responds naturally to my picking and
volume knob dynamics. The ME-20 adds
a Super Stack button that not only made
the Metal sounds deliver a resounding
thump, but also acted as an excellent overall
"loudness" button, adding bottom end
richness to clean and crunch patches.
The expression pedal delivered authentic
sounding wah and whammy effects, but
I really loved the Freeze mode, where any
chord played with the pedal in heel position
was infinitely sustained as a beautiful
pad effect in the toe position. I could then
solo over the sustained pad; some may find
this effect alone worth the price of the unit.
The manual could be clearer, though, about
how to set this up as well as a few other
things. When one chord got boring I could
either make use of the Phrase Loop function—
with 38 seconds of recording time,
or load some of the included audio loops,
rhythms, and songs into the computer and
jam away.
If you are seeking something to replace
your pedalboard or rack for small shows
and rehearsals, you are better off looking
for the discontinued ME-20 on eBay, or
moving up to the ME-70, as both offer the
footswitchable access to individual effects
that the ME-25 lacks. (Boss states that the
ME-25 was intended as more of a home -
guitarist tool than a live-performance tool.)
The professional level sounds of the ME-
25 can work live if your show is set in stone;
with 60 user presets, just step through
them as the show progresses. I could also
see adding this compact unit to your pedalboard
as a dedicated Whammy, Wah, or
Freeze pedal. Whether for live, recording,
or practicing alone, at under two bills it
should be easy to find a place for the ME-
25 somewhere in your effects arsenal.
KUDOS Great Boss COSM tones. Fun Freeze
effect. USB recording capability.
CONCERNS Manual could be clearer. No
footswitch access to individual effects

Jackson, MS -- Disaster assistance for Grenada, Lafayette, Leake, Scott and Tunica County has been made available to help homeowners, renters and businesses recover from the effects of the recent severe storms, tornadoes and flooding that began November 24, in Mississippi, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced today.
FEMA Director Joe M. Allbaugh said the assistance was approved based on a review of damage data gathered by federal, state and local disaster recovery officials. These counties were added for the aid under the major disaster declaration issued by President Bush on December 7, 2001.
"We remain committed to delivering assistance wherever it's needed and to making sure that every qualified individual and family receives the help they need to get back on the road to recovery," Allbaugh said.
"I appreciate FEMA Director Joe Allbaugh's quick response to our request to add additional counties," said Governor Musgrove. "This addition to the federal disaster declaration means that FEMA's resources will be available to the state to help the citizens affected by the severe weather, tornadoes and recent flooding recover as quickly as possible."
Affected residents and business owners in Grenada, Lafayette, Leake, Scott and Tunica counties may now apply for assistance immediately by calling the toll-free registration number, 1-800-621-3362, between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday until further notice.

Investors typically make money when the assets they own increase in value and/or when the assets they own deliver dividend, interest or rental income. When combined, income and price returns results in the total returns equation. One asset that has generated positive total returns every year since 2000 is gold. Investors who bet on the yellow metal have generated 17.70% annual returns over that period. Right now the precious metal is hitting all-time highs, as many investors expect that the amount of monetary stimulus by the Federal Reserve would create massive inflation in the US. This speculative frenzy is catching up quickly, as investors bid up gold through one of the many vehicles available to dabble – gold etfs, gold futures, physical gold etc. For example, one of the largest ETF's in the US with over 50 billion in assets is SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), which allows investors to easily gain exposure to gold.

Gold versus Dividend Stocks

Fabulous. I haven't pulled the trigger on gold for this reason, & I don't think I ever will. Excellent article. Really funny too.ReplyDelete

"Imaginary printing press," huh?ReplyDelete
They don't always print paper bills, I'll give you that.
I'd like you to elaborate on that statement, please.

M3, the total money supply, has increased about 40% over the past few years. Per your post, I'd consider this an "unpleasant situation."ReplyDelete
The variation of gold priced in dollars simply shows the true value of the green scraps of paper we're forced to use as legal tender.
- AnonymousJuly 8, 2011 at 5:19 PM
Some stocks do not pay investors to hold them. I do not hear very many people complain about GOOG, AAPL, etc.! At least gold and silver are tangible objects that an investor can have physical possession. Every investor should have some to diversify their portfolio.ReplyDelete
The price of gold shows supply/demand for the metal. Anyone that buys gold today hopes that it's value would increase over time.ReplyDelete
I personally find houses to be more valuable than gold, since they provide shelter. Gold has gone up 5 fold since 1999. Housing prices did not go up five times even during the bubble.
Whether the dollars are worthless or not is debatable. The US Dollar is much more stable that any currency in the world today, with very few exceptions.
Some stocks do not pay dividends, and some such stocks have performed well for stockholders. But on aggregate, stocks that don't pay dividends deliver poor total returns over time. Hindsight is always 20/20 - that's why showing me AAPL after the fact that it is up substantially over the past decade does not prove anything - it's more of an exception than the norm.
Gold and silver are tangible, but they do not deliver any economic value. I prefer to own shares ( equity portions) of real businesses, that deliver value to customers and which make profits delivering goods/services. Businesses are the best inflation hedge.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 279 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by rsetia24 Nice hotel Overall, this is a nice and beautiful hotel. My family and I had a wonderful experience staying in the hotel. However, let me point out several things that needs attention: 1) No exhaust fan in the bathroom. 2) The cutlery in the resto are sometimes not clean. I can understand how busy the staff is working. However, obviously a few staff do not pay attention to the detail. This hotel is a 5 star hotel and it holds a huge reputation. 3) Cleaning service and making up room is somehow late (later than 12 noon) August 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gmcharg Wonderful Hotel This resort was far better than expected, the rooms, the facilities and the staff were very professional and friendly. The ARWANA restaurant was fantastic, the food excellent and the service absolutely professional and the prices were very reasonable. Would recommend this hotel and resort to anyone for an experience that surpassed all our expectations July 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by AZDavid Recent 4-night stay We enjoyed many aspects of this hotel including the fabulous location with nice relaxing beach. All staff members were quite friendly and helpful. The hotel also helped us hire a wonderful private driver for a 6-7 hour tour. Throughout our stay, we had a nice sampling of a variety of tasty food and very much appreciated their ability to deal with our various food allergies. My daughter and I both had the best massages of our life at the onsite spa. That's quite a compliment because we've both had 150+ massages. However, there were some things that kept this hotel from receiving 5's. And in fact, I'm not sure if I could come back unless some specific changes were made because certain things are just too important for us when traveling 9,000 miles (one way) for a vacation. Unfortunately, our relaxation was often interrupted by slamming doors at several of the neighboring hotel rooms. The hotel needs to place self-closing mechanisms on the room doors which would prevent people from slamming their door. They also need to figure out a way to encourage people not to be so noisy in the hallways. Perhaps some soundpoofing or polite signs encouraging quiet. We also experienced frustration while trying to arrange for pick-up at the airport. Some of the staff either weren't reading our entire emails or they lack sufficent understanding of English. I have a feeling it's the latter. This was an extremely frustrating process requiring 3-4 emails and not knowing if we were being picked-up at the airport, how to find the driver, etc. They finally sorted this out after someone more senior reviewed our plea for help. In summary, this hotel is well-located, has very friendly staff, very good food, nicely landscaped grounds, very reasonable prices for a variety of services and could easily move to a 4.5 (or higher) by addressing these two important areas. August 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bran2012 Good, not great! The grounds are very nice and the staff very friendly, as you would expect from a "5 star" hotel. The rooms are in desperate need of refurbishing, and the amenities are cheap and poorly presented. A complaint, which is not totally the fault of the hotel, is that there are very limited lounge chairs on the beach. Guests get up early in the morning to put their towels on prime chairs. They then go for breakfast or back to bed and own those chairs for the day. There are signs posted that there is a 1 hour policy for empty chairs, but this is definitely not enforced. Drink prices are high, but the same as the other hotels nearby. September 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Puneet84 Excellent....Words are not enough! I used my SPG points to stay just one night in Laguna Resort, Bali. I mentioned to them that I am celebrating my 1st Marriage Anniversary. They upgraded me to Executive Suite. Also sent us gifts, cake and offered discounts in restaurants. I am frequent traveler and stayed many hotels across globe but my experience in Laguna resort was exceptional. Room: Beyond Expectation - Spacious, clean, with all facilities. Service - Excellent service - In seconds someone pick your phone at reception and that is one point of contact for all your needs. You don't have to tell them twice for any request. Hotel Staff - Extremely Polite and Helpful Beach - Very lean and quite. Ideal for romantic vacations Facilities - Very nice Spa, excellent pools and other facilities available I stayed at Jimbaran and Kuta also with other branded hotels but none was near to Laguna Resorts. Stay at Laguna Resorts definitely increase pleasure of your holidays atleast by twice as comparison to any other branded hotel. August 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Merican A bit dated Hotel service was very good by all staff. The property grounds are amazing and beautiful and restaurants were great. However, the rooms are aged a bit and could really use an upgrade. The chair I went to sit it had the left arm rest loose (Room 318). All else was very nice... July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wills2 Another wonderfull holiday The staff the resort over all is what anyone would desire for a relaxing and truely wonderful holiday. i was in the Preferred guest wing which was nice and quite. From the moment I arrived to the sad minute I left I can not fault this resort. I have stayed here a few times and cant wait to return in November Thanks to all August 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bena1266 comfortable location for relaxing holidays After a trip over the island it was the perfect final (in a very comfortable atmosphere) of our holidays. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by davidnbkk Luxurious relaxation. From checkin, we were met by our private butler and shown to our studio. All requests were responded to promptly with flawless service. Arwana is truly fine dining. December 8, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimo11 Beautiful Hotel We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Laguna. The hotel is "fragrantly beautiful"...the perfect ambiance for a restful, romantic getaway. The grounds were meticulously maintained so that evey area was inviting and pleasing. Love the trees and orchids around, the pools and little bridges, and the beachside dining with the lovely lanterns above. It was truly a wonderful experience for us, made special by the attentive, caring staff like Adi at the front desk. He graciously extended a late checkout for us to accommodate our late flight. July 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Emmieb Wonderful Absolutely wonderful hotel. The staff was super kind and helped us with our every need, always with a smile. The pools had sand in them, and one could bath in many of them, although it didn't look like it in the pictures. If I had to say something bad it would be that the the prices was a bit expensive (for Indonesia) and that the food was a bit booring, didn't taste that much (did not try the indonesian, which probably was better tasting). July 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by hao10000 A wonderful trip It's really a great resort with 7 swimmng pool and wide view beach shared with other hotel. Standard lagoon access room is not so big but enough and good platinum benifit. Breakfast is richful but dinner is not as good as you have in Bali Collection. The only thing I have concern is the housekeeping. Almost everyday I have to call to ask new shampoo or shower gel, they always forgot to replace used ones. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karenb101 Service and Resort was Excellent All the staff at Laguna could not have made us feel more welcome. We have never had a holiday before whereby we were content to just stay at the Resort. It was fabulous. Relaxing breakfasts on the beachfront or poolside, delicious BBQ lunches, beachside bar cocktails for happy hour with half price drinks whilst being serenaded by the 3 amigos on guitar and base. The grounds were magnificent with pools and lagoons everywhere set amongst picturesque gardens. All in all, we would highly recommend the Laguna and would definitely come back. Food was yum too!. The day spa and fitness centre was amazing too, the best I've seen. Thank you to everyone. June 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Blondie3204 5 Star Accommodation - In Every Details Our stay at Laguna Resort& Spa in Nusa Dua was like being in paradise. Every need we could possibly have was met. The room was immaculately clean, our bed linen & towels changed everyday. Our bed turned down in the evening, fresh fruit on arrival & a 24 Hour Butler service. Staff were quick to respond & nothing was ever too much trouble. We can't wait to return to this beautiful hotel. All the Staff were just fantastic. We will not be staying anywhere else when we return to Bali. Mark & Heather July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MMMMBears Staff attitude need improvement, specially at Banyubiru breakfast, most women staff were not professional nor enthusiastic, The waitress at Banyubiru breakfast were not friendly in their attitude, they rush customers and wanting tips before they serve fresh fruits or drinks. We are disappointed after more than a dozen stays at your hotel to see this happened! We were told that most staff at the Banyubiru Cafe are new crew, they lost the original crews friendliness and service attitude. Please correct this soon as they will effect your business directly!!! August 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Miffy46 Relaxing in luxury Loved, loved, loved this resort. Staff were fantastic the facilities great, the quality & quantity of the food amazing. We ate at the Cornerstone Cafe several times & couldn't fault the food or service. Also surprisingly good value for money. Very impressed with staff at buffet breakfast, when the waiter noticed that we had an apple that was badly bruised. Without one word from us we were presented with a peeled apple cut into sections and an apology for the condition of the original apple. The lady in the boutique was very helpful & went out of her way in obtaining a bathrobe for purchase when none seemed to be available. June 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Elizabeth00 Amazing Villas and Hotel Management! This was my second time staying at The Laguna. Jennie was amazing to help me upgrade to the newly built Villas. It was one of the most AMAZING vacations I have taken. Staff were super responsive and due to a food allergy, the head chef arranged all my meals which were delicious! I look forward to staying at the hotel again soon. September 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by april41 I had a wonderful experience in this hotel the environment is very beautiful, the equipments are well-appointed, the staff are friendly,and the pool and spa are amazing.I felt comfortable and relax in the holiday. July 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sharon2014 Food, beverages and deck chairs The cost of on site food and beverages was very expensive and deck chairs were hard to get as all had towels on them as if occupied but few were actually occupied from mid morning to evening. July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TANDLINDS Unsurpassed excellence We stayed at this hotel in November 2013 for 6 nights and will most certainly return. The staff were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them ...perfect service 100% The room (437) was immaculate, clean, impressive and faultless. The grounds , pools, and restaurants were in perfect condition and maintained to a high level. Sunbeds and beach beds were always available even lunchtime and mid afternoon...no early morning rush for a position in this hotel, there are sufficient sunbeds here. The location is perfect for the beach , three steps away from the hotel lawns. The beach itself is clean and manicured by staff who rake daily. Plenty of umbrellas too. We had a one hour massage each on the edge of the beach which was very professional, and soothing and reasonably priced. The butler service also was to perfection, a free service to your room which was a nice touch for that late night coffee or early morning tea before breakfast. This is just an amazing hotel to relax in, and we stay in some of the best ones on our travels; this would rate in the top three for sure. We also checked some others in the vicinity and The Laguna is well in front of the ones we saw... by a long way. Kuta is a $10 , twenty minute taxi ride away, if you want full on shopping and nightlife. We thought it better to go there as it suited and have this gorgeous hotel to relax in day by day. I could not even suggest one improvement to be made to this hotel or grounds, it was perfection 100% to us both and we could not fault it. Ha....yes one!! the breakfast bar needs to upgrade its toaster to a rotating belt one !! Now if this is my only fault to list you can see we thoroughly enjoyed our week here and are planning to return as soon as possible; we could not recommend more strongly that The Laguna is by far the best we have seen in Bali. Perfect. November 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jozef02 This hotel/vila was excelent. Villas resort are excellent. They provide maximum comfort, private and beautiful environment. Operation is extremely helpful, always smiling, bed linen changed daily, the food is great, beach great. one word - we come back here again. July 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SandL A few things lacking in a 5 Star Resort This was the second time my wife and I have stayed at the Laguna, so we obviously like the resort. However, this time we were disappointed in a few ways that make me question the 5-star rating for the Laguna. First, this is a wonderful resort overall and is beautiful in every way. The staff are extremely friendly and eager to please. However in two areas, we were surprised by the lack of response from the management. 1. Air Conditioning not cold enough. When we arrived in our pool-front room we found that our A/C did not cool the room adequately. The staff sent a serviceman twice after the first time did not solve the problem. Finally in discussing this with the front desk, we were told that the room thermostats are set so that the temp cannot go below 22 degrees C. Frankly, when someone pays the money/points for a 5-star resort, they really ought to be able to make their rooms as cold as they wish. People coming from cold climates, especially Europeans, may find their room a bit stuffy as a result. I was surprised that the management did not offer to change our room or make some other acknowledgement of the issue. 2. The concierge, while friendly, really made poor recommendations. Most notable was the recommendation for a Seafood BBQ restaurant at Jimbaran Beach. My wife and I have been to Jimbaran several times and loved every meal we have had there. This time we chose to trust the concierge's recommendation. He had a restaurant (Jimbaran Bay Seafood) come pick us up, which obligated us to eat at their restaurant. Suffice it to say that the prices were inflated, the scale for weighing seafood set wrong and the food sub-standard. If we were not familiar with Jimbaran, we would have felt that Jimbaran is just a tourist trap. But this was really a poor recommendation by the concierge and we really felt taken. 5-Star Concierges really should know reputable, good-tasting places to send guests. We notified the concierge when we returned but he didn't really take notes for the future. Again, the MAJORITY of our stay was wonderful, but things like this tarnish a 5-star rating. March 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Peter02 Great vacation Great hotel. Perfect for relaxing,loved the pools,liked the touch of privacy,because of the size of the garden and laguna feels not crowded. Breakfast unreal,stuff really nice and proffesional. Thank you July 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by maxtom5024 A real 5-Star Hotel The Hotel is in a very good shape, everything very clean and proper, Garden and pool and beach area like in paradise. The staff is extremly friendly. The food especially in the beach restaurtant deserves at least one "michelin star". The only one thing we wanted is a bit more flexibility when half board is booked in advance. There is a special menu for half board. If you want to have items from the á la carte menu you have to pay it extra the whole amount without compensation. Also the wineprices are a bit over the top for european standards. June 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TravelerSF2014 Amenities and staff are terrific but the food is the weakest point The hotel is grand! It's new, clean and comfortable. The staff is terrific - accommodating, polite, service oriented, smiley - all very pleasant people. Rooms have one problem: while the sheets are super clean, they have moldy smell, which is probably due to high humidity. The weakest point is the food - not that tasty and grossly overpriced. I live in San Francisco and I can eat better and cheaper here but one of the Bali's main attractions is its famous delicious and inexpensive Balinese cuisine, which neither of us (4 people) experienced in this hotel. January 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sljo888 Fantastic Setting, Great Service My twelfth visit - so you could claim I'm not objective, or you can more correctly say, there's proof it works for me! If you've got kids they have a great time at the inner lagoon. If you not into kids, a room on the outside is calming, quiet and SO relaxing. The setting is superb, lush, mature greenery and lots of water, plus a good beach with access that couldn't be easier. Staff are smiling, courteous, professional, helpful, without exception. As I can't think of any faults encountered during my latest visit, so what can I say but "Thoroughly recommended" March 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dh13 The hotel has meet my expectation This hotel have a comfortable receptionist. The receptionist staff will come to our comfortable chair to proceed our check in, I appreciate it. This hotel is clean and beautiful. Our room has clean up in twice per day, it's perfect. The king size bedroom is good for a maximum a little family (plus 1 child under 4 age). This hotel have a many swimming pool size and depth also the white beach so a great for a family activity. Thank you Laguna. July 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by stylianmos Beautiful gardens and pools. Resort offers great swim opportunity, if sea has low tide. Beach always clean,staff does great job. Restaurants offer great breakfast... "Seafood BBQ", biggest fish was 17-20 cm....should called "shrimp BBQ".... Have requested iron & ironing board, and was broad a dirty and rusty one, can provide you with pic....Room with spider web on frame of curtain was cleaned the day of our departure, even if we reminded front desk staff the next day of our arrival... We enjoyed that staff understands and speaks very good english...The highlight in this resort is the "kulkul" beach bar with every night live entertainment, and the day serving the beach with drinks and cocktails... Another highlight is the variety of pools, so many and clean and with warm waters.... March 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by RJC2014 A memorable getaway. My spouse and I had a most unforgettable stay at the Laguna resort. The warm welcome at the grand lobby and efficient check-in quickly erased our tiredness from a 7 hour flight from Sydney. We enjoyed the breakfast at the Banyubiru for the entire stay without getting bored. The time spent at those pools for hours were joyful, supplemented with a cool drink was beyond your imagination of a luxury. Never miss trying out those Balinese massage at the Resort Spa. July 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by dayoff needs improvement was staying here for weekend getaway and was relaxed about everything: didn't want to get stressed with check in and other small stuff. During the stay, I made a request for change of room to different level (wasn't even asking for a suite upgrade) and was told that was of "higher" level of room and would not be allowed. Thought as Plat, it was complimentary. Staff responses could, sometimes can determine the mood of the whole trip and thought the staff could have better approached/responded to my request. Other than that, you can't go wrong with stay in Nusa Dua. Great beach! But there are other SPG properties near by that may deserve looking into. May 13, 2014

I've harvested yeast off juniper berries in my yard here. I have fruit trees, but I did not attempt to get anything from them. The juniper berries conveniently fit into my flask and onto my stir plate. Most of my experience is in this incredible thread: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/can-i-culture-yeast-juniper-berries-169156/
after some further research, it seems that temperature is the most important factor here. must wait until january for the temps to drop as much as low as they will go. this, as levifunk suggested above, will increase the ratio of wild yeast to bacteria. (you want more yeast). stay tuned!
passedpawn, how did the juniper yeast experiment work out? what kind of beer did you use it in? very cool.

I have one app that needs user's current location. In the application, I have registered two location providers to listen for location and additionally I have also checked for last known location too. But the app do not receive the location always. The surprising thing I found today is that,
GPS was off
but location from wireless network was on.
I opened google Maps and I can see that it is showing current location so accurately. But When I opened my app, it could not get location.
I was surprised seeing this and I think there is something google map is doing to receive location other than I have done.
Here is how I have registered for location
locationManager = (LocationManager) this
Location location = null;
try {
LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 10, 100, this);
Location location1 = locationManager
if (location1 != null)
location = location1;
Log.v(TAG, "Network listener Enabled");
} catch (RuntimeException ee) {
// TODO: handle exception
Log.e(TAG, "Network Providers Disabled");
try {
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 10, 100, this);
Location location1 = locationManager
Log.v(TAG, "GPS listener enabled");
if (location1 != null)
location = location1;
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "GPS not available");
I dont know if there are any other things that I need to do with. Please help me.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
UN report wants to terminate killer robots, opposes life-or-death powers over humans
Killer robots that can attack targets without any human input "should not have the power of life and death over human beings," a new draft U.N. report says.
The report for the U.N. Human Rights Commission posted online this week deals with legal and philosophical issues involved in giving robots lethal powers over humans, echoing countless science-fiction novels and films. The debate dates to author Isaac Asimov's first rule for robots in the 1942 story "Runaround:" ''A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."
Report author Christof Heyns, a South African professor of human rights law, calls for a worldwide moratorium on the "testing, production, assembly, transfer, acquisition, deployment and use" of killer robots until an international conference can develop rules for their use.
His findings are due to be debated at the Human Rights Council in Geneva on May 29.
According to the report, the United States, Britain, Israel, South Korea and Japan have developed various types of fully or semi-autonomous weapons.
In the report, Heyns focuses on a new generation of weapons that choose their targets and execute them. He calls them "lethal autonomous robotics," or LARs for short, and says: "Decisions over life and death in armed conflict may require compassion and intuition. Humans — while they are fallible — at least might possess these qualities, whereas robots definitely do not."
He notes the arguments of robot proponents that death-dealing autonomous weapons "will not be susceptible to some of the human shortcomings that may undermine the protection of life. Typically they would not act out of revenge, panic, anger, spite, prejudice or fear. Moreover, unless specifically programmed to do so, robots would not cause intentional suffering on civilian populations, for example through torture. Robots also do not rape."
The report goes beyond the recent debate over drone killings of al-Qaida suspects and nearby civilians who are maimed or killed in the air strikes. Drones do have human oversight. The killer robots are programmed to make autonomous decisions on the spot without orders from humans.
Heyns' report notes the increasing use of drones, which "enable those who control lethal force not to be physically present when it is deployed, but rather to activate it while sitting behind computers in faraway places, and stay out of the line of fire.
"Lethal autonomous robotics (LARs), if added to the arsenals of States, would add a new dimension to this distancing, in that targeting decisions could be taken by the robots themselves. In addition to being physically removed from the kinetic action, humans would also become more detached from decisions to kill - and their execution," he wrote.
His report cites these examples, among others, of fully or semi-autonomous weapons that have been developed:
— The U.S. Phalanx system for Aegis-class cruisers, which automatically detects, tracks and engages anti-air warfare threats such as anti-ship missiles and aircraft.
— Israel's Harpy, a "Fire-and-Forget" autonomous weapon system designed to detect, attack and destroy radar emitters.
— Britain's Taranis jet-propelled combat drone prototype that can autonomously search, identify and locate enemies but can only engage with a target when authorized by mission command. It also can defend itself against enemy aircraft.
— The Samsung Techwin surveillance and security guard robots, deployed in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, to detect targets through infrared sensors. They are currently operated by humans but have an "automatic mode."
Current weapons systems are supposed to have some degree of human oversight. But Heyns notes that "the power to override may in reality be limited because the decision-making processes of robots are often measured in nanoseconds and the informational basis of those decisions may not be practically accessible to the supervisor. In such circumstances humans are de facto out of the loop and the machines thus effectively constitute LARs," or killer robots.
Separately, another U.N. expert, British lawyer Ben Emmerson, is preparing a special investigation for the U.N. General Assembly this year on drone warfare and targeted killings.
His probe was requested by Pakistan, which officially opposes the use of U.S. drones on its territory as an infringement on its sovereignty but is believed to have tacitly approved some strikes in the past. Pakistani officials say the drone strikes kill many innocent civilians, which the U.S. has rejected. The other two countries requesting the investigation were two permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, Russia and China.
In April, an alliance of activist and humanitarian groups led by Human Rights Watch launched the "Campaign to Stop Killer Robots" to push for a ban on fully autonomous weapons. The group applauded Heyns' draft report in a statement on its website.

September 13, 2013
Most countries have seen their overall debt burdens rise substantially since 2008, with China's outpacing the U.S.'s.
By The Staff
The great financial crisis was a product of excessive debt.
is the world safer today? Not exactly. Debt has risen
sharply in many countries over the past five years.
Ireland and Portugal stand out, not surprisingly, but the
debt story isn't just a Western one. China's debt rose more
than the U.S.'s between 2007 and 2012; no wonder many analysts
fret about the legacy of the country's 2009 stimulus program.
Private nonfinancial sector debt is approaching 150 percent of
GDP in the U.S. and emerging Asia the former by falling,
the latter by rising.
For the 18 countries included in the graphic above, debt has
increased by $33 trillion, or roughly 20 percent of GDP,
over the past five years. U.S. households have managed to
reduce debt, but by less than the average 40-percentage-point
drop seen after previous financial crises, according to a Bank
for International Settlements study.
Still, debt doesn't tell the whole story. India, Indonesia
and Turkey compare favorably on debt, but they have been hit
hard by the recent emerging-markets sell-off because of big
current-account deficits and concerns about broad economic

Sullivan found a groove from the start of their game against Central A&M on Tuesday, as they 10-runned the Raiders in five innings, 15-5.
"Sullivan hit and scored runs up and down there lineup," said A&M coach Wayne Jordan, "including five extra base hits. Central A&M committed three errors."
All but one Sullivan batter hit safely and that one walked three times and scored. Three of them had multiple hits. The 'Skins hit two triples and three doubles.
All but one Sullivan player scored and that one hit 3-for-4 with a double and was caught trying to score. Four Redskins had multiple scores, three of them scored three times.
Sullivan scored in a steady drum beat. They used two walks, a single by Inman, and a double by Ruppert to go up 2-0. In the 2nd, a walk, a dropped 3rd strike, followed by a triple from Stewart and a double from Inman made it 5-0. That was just a down payment.
A&M finally got on the board in the 3rd. Taylor Jordan and Kaley Hennings led off with consecutive singles. Rachel Friesner reached on a fielder's choice.
With the bases jammed Mo Hunter lifted a sacrifice fly and Jordan tagged and scored, 5-1. With two outs, Lexee Smith smacked a 2-run single, getting A&M back in the game at that point, 5-3.
However, Sullivan did A&M one better with a 4-run rally in the 3rd. Two singles and an error put the first three batters on. With one out, Gottfriedt doubled runs in. Inman followed with her third hit and second RBI to give Sullivan a 9-3 lead.
A&M answered in the 4th, but not enough. With two outs, Taylor Jordan clubbed a double. Hennings singled and Jordan scored on an error. Friesner singled and sent the speedy Hennings home, 9-5 Sully.
