New OneConnect OCm14000-OCP Adapters Maximise Application Performance with RDMA, Support Overlay Networks for the Cloud and Enable SDN with Open Programmable APIs
INTEROP, LAS VEGAS and COSTA MESA, Calif, 1 April 2014 - Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX), a leader in network connectivity, monitoring and management and a proud member of the Open Compute Project (OCP), today announced it has released its next generation of high performance Ethernet connectivity solutions to the open source community. Now, data centres are able to utilise Emulex 10Gb Ethernet and 40Gb Ethernet (10GbE/40GbE) adapters on OCP based hardware platforms that support global cloud platforms running OpenStack or CloudStack. The new Emulex OneConnect® OCm14000-OCP 10Gb and 40Gb Ethernet (10/40GbE) Network Adapters and 10GbE Converged Network Adapters (CNAs), enable higher virtual machine (VM) densities, support the cloud with Overlay Network offloads, leverage a new RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) based low latency architecture delivering application acceleration, and integrate with next generation software-defined networking (SDN) solutions.
The Emulex OCm14000-OCP adapters are also the first CNAs available for OCP based platforms that feature fully offloaded Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI, providing performance and higher server efficiencies that are superior to software initiator-based adapters. This brings the power and flexibility of network convergence to the OCP community and allows data centres built on the OCP model to realise the full performance benefits and cabling and power consumption reductions that come with it.
"We have been working with the OCP community to provide an open, flexible and scalable I/O platform that maximises server efficiency and scales networking connectivity, while increasing application support in enterprise and hyperscale infrastructures," said Shaun Walsh, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development, Emulex. "Emulex OCm14000-OCP adapters are ideal for hyperscale and enterprise data centres that require I/O optimisation for delivering compute power, energy efficiency and scalability."
The Emulex OCm14000-OCP adapters are optimised to meet the needs of enterprises and cloud providers who are building an open infrastructure while delivering a powerful set of features and capabilities, including:
- Open Enablement of Software-defined Networking: The recently introduced Emulex SURF open API provides the tools needed to implement SDN technology that can be optimised for next generation applications and new industry standards, such as OpenStack, CloudStack and OpenFlow.
- High-Performance Virtualisation: OCm14000-OCP adapters use highly efficient and scalable hardware offload technology to transfer the overhead of virtual networking, providing up to 50 per cent better CPU utilisation[1] compared to standard NICs when used for VMware VirtualWire connection, thereby increasing the number of VMs that can be supported per server. In addition, the OCm14000- OCP adapters deliver a fundamental 4x performance increase in small packet network performance,[2] which is required to scale transaction-heavy and clustered applications.
- Rapid, Secure and Scalable Cloud Connectivity: Emulex Virtual Network Exceleration™ (VNeX) offload technology provides up to 70 per cent better performance[1] vs. software-only implementations of emerging Overlay Network standards such asNetwork Virtualisation using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE) used by Microsoft Hyper-V Network Virtualization and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) used in VMware's NSX. These Overlay Network standards enable virtual and cloud environments to scale beyond the limitations of Layer 2 networks and support seamless migration from anywhere to anywhere.
- Optimised Application Delivery with Advanced RoCE Architecture: The OCm14000-OCP adapters are based on a low-latency RoCE architecture that help enterprise IT and cloud data centres optimise unstructured and file-based storage environments, which are based on Windows Server SMB Direct and Linux NFS protocols.
- Increased Block Protocol Performance: The OCm14000-OCP adapters increase total block protocol IOPS by 50 percent over previous generation CNAs[2] and build upon the proven history of enterprise-class storage reliability at Emulex.
"As we move closer to making the disaggregated data centre a reality, we welcome design contributions that enable us to design and build scalable, more efficient technologies," said Cole Crawford, executive director of the Open Compute Project Foundation. "By open sourcing its OneConnect family of network adapters through the OCP community, Emulex provides customers with high-performing solutions that can be tailored to their needs."
Emulex is sampling OCm14000-OCP adapters with leading OCP solution providers. Emulex will be showcasing OCm14000-OCP adapters at Interop Las Vegas in booth #1158 this week.

"Safe Harbor" Statement
"Safe Harbor'' Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: With the exception of historical information, the statements set forth above, contain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or changes to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances. We wish to caution readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include the possibility that we may not realize the anticipated benefits from the acquisition of Endace on a timely basis or at all, and may be unable to integrate the technology, operations and personnel of Endace into our existing operations in a timely and efficient manner. In addition, intellectual property claims, with or without merit, that could result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays, require us to indemnify customers, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which may or may not be available. Furthermore, we have in the past obtained, and may be required in the future to obtain, licenses of technology owned by other parties. We cannot be certain that the necessary licenses will be available or that they can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we were to fail to obtain such royalty or licensing agreements in a timely manner and on reasonable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Ongoing lawsuits, such as the action brought by Broadcom Corporation (Broadcom), present inherent risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Such potential risks include continuing expenses of litigation, loss of patent rights, monetary damages, injunctions against the sale of products incorporating the technology in question, counterclaims, attorneys' fees, incremental costs associated with product or component redesigns, liabilities to customers under reimbursement agreements or contractual indemnification provisions, and diversion of management's attention from other business matters. With respect to the continuing Broadcom litigation, such potential risks also include the adequacy of any sunset period to make design changes, the ability to implement any design changes, the availability of customer resources to complete any re-qualification or re-testing that may be needed, the ability to maintain favorable working relationships with Emulex suppliers of serializer/deserializer (SerDes) modules, and the ability to obtain a settlement which does not put us at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, the fact that the economy generally, and the technology and storage market segments specifically, have been in a state of uncertainty makes it difficult to determine if past experience is a good guide to the future and makes it impossible to determine if markets will grow or shrink in the short term. Continued weakness in domestic and worldwide macro-economic conditions, related disruptions in world credit and equity markets, and the resulting economic uncertainty for our customers, as well as the storage and converged networking market as a whole, has and could continue to adversely affect our revenues and results of operations. As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to predict our future results with any accuracy. Other factors affecting these forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the following: faster than anticipated declines in the storage networking market, slower than expected growth of the converged networking market or the failure of our Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers to successfully incorporate our products into their systems; our dependence on a limited number of customers and the effects of the loss of, decrease in or delays of orders by any such customers, or the failure of such customers to make timely payments; the emergence of new or stronger competitors as a result of consolidation movements in the market; the timing and market acceptance of our products or our OEM customers' new or enhanced products; costs associated with entry into new areas of the network, server and storage technology markets; the variability in the level of our backlog and the variable and seasonal procurement patterns of our customers; any inadequacy of our intellectual property protection and the costs of actual or potential third-party claims of infringement and any related indemnity obligations or adverse judgments; the effect of any actual or potential unsolicited offers to acquire us; proxy contests or the activities of activist investors; impairment charges, including but not limited to goodwill and intangible assets; changes in tax rates or legislation; the effects of acquisitions; the effects of terrorist activities, natural disasters, and any resulting disruption in our supply chain or customer purchasing patterns or any other resulting economic or political instability; the highly competitive nature of the markets for our products as well as pricing pressures that may result from such competitive conditions; the effects of changes in our business model to separately charge for software; the effect of rapid migration of customers towards newer, lower cost product platforms; transitions from board or box level to application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solutions for selected applications; a shift in unit product mix from higher-end to lower-end or mezzanine card products; a faster than anticipated decrease in the average unit selling prices or an increase in the manufactured cost of our products; delays in product development; our reliance on third-party suppliers and subcontractors for components and assembly; our ability to attract and retain key technical personnel; our ability to benefit from our research and development activities; our dependence on international sales and internationally produced products; changes in accounting standards; and any resulting regulatory changes on our business. These and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our recent filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, under the caption "Risk Factors."

Hardware will never be more valuable than on the day it hits your loading dock. Each day new servers are not deployed to production the business is losing money. While Moore's Law is typically cited to explain the exponential density growth of chips, a critical consequence of this is rapid depreciation of servers. The hardware for clustered systems (e.g., Hadoop, OpenStack) tends to be significant capital expenses. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mason Katz, CTO and co-founder of StackIQ, to discuss how infrastructure teams should be aware of the capitalization and depreciation model of these expenses to fully understand when and where automation is critical.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

Model of an Earthship home in Taos, N.M. (Image: Biodiesel33/Wikipedia)
Cut ties with the electric company and say goodbye to your natural gas provider. Earthship Biotecture says its funky looking houses are the answer to "radically sustainable buildings" that can take you off the grid.
(MORE: An Underground Home)
Earthship homes are built to keep a constant indoor temperature year-round. In the Northern Hemisphere, these houses face south, which allows the sun to heat and power the home. According to the architects, because of "the way Earthships interact with the sun and the earth, little to no fossil fuels are required to maintain a comfortable, stable temperature in any climate." Earthship homes leverage the heat of the sun and the cool ground in the earth to sustain a comfortable temperature year-round.

Besides leveraging the elements for heating and cooling, the non-traditional materials used to build these sustainable homes act as a barrier between the interior and the elements outside. The entire home is made from 45 percent receycled materials, including the main frame, which is constructed from recycled tires. As Stuart Simmons, a man who built an Earthship home in Durango, Colo. explains "each tire is rammed full of earth using a sledge hammer or pneumatic tamper." Another tire is then piled on top, and the process begins again. Earthship Biotecture says the earth-filled tires are dense enough to "store the temperatures required to provide a habitable environment for humans and plants."
The interior walls are constructed from stacked soda and beer cans held together by layers of concrete, which act as "little bricks."
(MORE: Will Future Homes be Inside an Iceberg?)
The main water source for these homes is rain and snow water, which is captured on the roof and fed into an underground system for purification. Solar panels and wind modules create energy to power computers, washing machines and other appliances.
Another interesting sustainable feature of an Earthship home is the greenhouse room, where home owners grow plants for food, and not merely for decoration. Earthship Biotecture says the ability to produce food in their homes "takes sustainable and independent living to another level."
You can find Earthship homes from Wyoming to New Mexico, and in the United Kingdom. Check out the slideshow above to see Earthship homes around the world.Follow @borntorunnergrl

Every healthy ecosystem is diverse. This is especially true in cloud ecosystems, where portability and interoperability are more important than old enterprise models of proprietary ownership. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mark Baker, Server Product Manager at Canonical/Ubuntu, will discuss how single vendors used to take the lead in creating and delivering technology, but in a cloud economy, where users want tools of their preference, when and where they need them, it makes no sense.

Hardware will never be more valuable than on the day it hits your loading dock. Each day new servers are not deployed to production the business is losing money. While Moore's Law is typically cited to explain the exponential density growth of chips, a critical consequence of this is rapid depreciation of servers. The hardware for clustered systems (e.g., Hadoop, OpenStack) tends to be significant capital expenses. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mason Katz, CTO and co-founder of StackIQ, to discuss how infrastructure teams should be aware of the capitalization and depreciation model of these expenses to fully understand when and where automation is critical.

Over the last few years the healthcare ecosystem has revolved around innovations in Electronic Health Record (HER) based systems. This evolution has helped us achieve much desired interoperability. Now the focus is shifting to other equally important aspects – scalability and performance. While applying cloud computing environments to the EHR systems, a special consideration needs to be given to the cloud enablement of Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA), i.e., the largest single medical system in the United States.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

As more applications and services move "to the cloud" (public or on-premise) cloud environments are increasingly adopting and building out traditional enterprise features. This in turn is enabling and encouraging cloud adoption from enterprise users. In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.

Mass Transit:
Review of the South Boston Piers Transitway Finance Plan
GAO-01-174R: Published: Nov 9, 2000. Publicly Released: Nov 9, 2000.
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This report focuses on GAO's review of the South Boston Piers Transitway Finance Plan. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is building a 1.5 mile underground transitway to connect its existing transit system with the South Boston Piers area, which is undergoing significant economic development. The project is experiencing cost increases and schedule delays, which have led to concerns over funding. GAO notes that although MBTA has shown that it has the financial capacity to complete the project, it has not yet clearly demonstrated to the Federal Transit Administration's financial management oversight contractor that funding the transitway project will not impair its ability to operate and maintain its overall transit system.

This thriller about child sex trafficking is well-intentioned but dramatically stilted. show more
Farran Smith Nehme New York Post
Aside from an additional 30 minutes or so of plot, Trade of Innocents offers no more than a middling episode of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." show more
Slant Magazine
Trade of Innocents is as much a piece of social-justice campaigning as it is a work unto itself, an important fact to remember when considering its many flaws. show more
Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times
Part infomercial, part public-service announcement, Trade of Innocents carries such a suffocating human-rights burden that it never had much chance of becoming an actual movie. Yes, child trafficking is horrific; but embedding your raise-the-alarm mission in a film this inept runs the risk of arousing more amusement than activism. show more

Law Officers Serving Free Lunch to Benefit Special Olympics

You either love them or you hate them but hotdogs are still pretty popular in America and the world. I don't quite know what it is, but a hot dog always seems to taste better at the ball park. Perhaps its the atmosphere or maybe just being outdoors that makes it so. I bring this up because today is National Hot Dog Day in America.
The 1st annual 'Unity in the Community' festival will take place July 20 to raise funds for the Jackson-Lincoln Swimming Complex in Quincy.
Americans love going out to eat, but we may love going home to eat even more.
Catch the flair at the 2013 Marion County Fair. That's the theme of this years 8 day event in Palmyra, Missouri. The Marion County Fair will run Saturday, July 27 to Saturday, August 3 at the fairgrounds in Palmyra.
It happens the second Friday of every month at the YMen's Pavilion in downtown Hannibal. The 'Down By The River' festival features live music, food and drink and plenty of fun for adults, all while raising money for the YMCA of Hannibal.
One of the most popular bands in the region, Madd Hoss Jackson will perform this Saturday night at the Lewis County Agricultural Fair just east of Lewistown, Missouri.
Please take a look at the picture of the dog. If that was your child's pet would you give it away? Probably not. But for many people that is the difficult decision they are making.
It's summertime and the "livin" is easy and made easier with an ice cream cone in hand. It seems finding places that sell ice cream cones isn't as easy as it used to be. Oh, the fast food places offer soft ice cream cones but there are few locations where you can actually get hard scooped ice cream cones in the area.
We're all entitled to our own opinions, but food is arguably the best part of any holiday. See, eating our way through this sort of celebration is an automatic win-win-- we're happy, our stomach's are happy, everyone's happy.

after the fire it took them just a short time to start putting things back together and start building great boats again.
Shoalwater is introducing it's new Cat 23, a great boat.
I took a ride on it Monday, all I could say to them was hurry and build me one!!!
with 4 on board we hit over 56 mph, floated in 8" of water ( i measured ) and could travel through 2" for several hundred yards.
I love my Cat 21 but this is the one i have been waiting on for almost three years.
If you are in the market for a boat you need to check them out!! my 2008 Cat 21 is for sale you can find info at my web site.

25 Things
- I love SteamPunk. It makes me so happy. The combination of science, technology and fantasy feeds in to several areas of my nerdliness.
- It took me eight months to read Atlas Shrugged. I could have given up, but I refused. Same thing goes for Robert Jordan's 'Wheel of Time' series...I read all the way through book twelve (or was it eleven?) before I decided that I just couldn't read any more. Now, I love me a fantasy novel, but seriously? How many books can you fill with really annoying characters dressing, undressing, and drinking tea? Sheesh.
- I collect words. Every time I find a word that I like, I write it down and add it to my list. Same goes for names and places. Some favorites are: besmirch, hornswoggle, mighty, succulent, pamplemousse (that one's in french).
- My mom took me to my first Renaissance Faire when I was just about five years old. I've been going pretty much every year since then. I look forward to it just like Christmas. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!
- I like adding the suffix '-bits' to pretty much anything. Naughty-bits, pretty-bits, bacon-bits, it works for almost everything.
- I love vast, empty spaces. Not in a Dixie Chicks, running-in-a-field-of-daisies kind of way, but an empty jumbo-jet hangar, Grand Canyon, Abyss kind of way. Heh. Abyssy-bits. Heh.
- I'm an actor at heart. I gave it up after high school, which makes me a little sad. I have very fond memories of all the plays I was in when I was younger, but I'm also afraid that taking it up again would spoil it for me.
- My dad is one of the coolest guys I know. He's done a lot of really neat stuff (including living in a teepee and being a boatman on the Colorado River), but never talks about it unless you ask him.
- I've never had chicken pox. I'm probably due for a really nasty bout later in life.
- I like picking out wrapping paper more than the actual present, and unless it's an emergency I'll only use real fabric ribbons. Not that curly plastic stuff, or the sticky-on kind. I feel like a failure if I use 'fake' ribbon.
- I think the same rules should apply to walking as they do to driving. Would you just stop your car in the middle of the street? No, of course not. Nor should you stop in the middle of the sidewalk. Signal, pull over to the side, then take care of your shit.
- I love grapefruits. I peel them like an orange (never cut down the middle). It's a favorite evening activity of mine to sit down with some good tv and a grapefruit.
- I'd like an Amber Spyglass. Read the book if you don't know what this is. Once you do, I'm sure you'll understand.
- My cat's breath smells like cat food.
- When I graduated college, I went through all of my notebooks and kept all my doodles that I made in class. I still have some. Oh, the places my mind would wander when I was supposed to be learning stuff. My favorite one says: "All Hail the Periodic Table! The Father, The Son, and the Noble Gases..." WTF?
- When I was ten or eleven, I once stole money from a perfect stranger's wallet. I've always felt really bad about that, and if I could find that person again I'd gladly pay back the $40 I took. Don't steal kids, srsly.
- I really like office supplies. Pens, post-its, paper clips, I love it all. Perhaps it satisfies a deep need for organization in my life, but whatever it is, I get a thrill out of office supplies. Do not take me to Staples unless you're prepared to wait around while I browse the new paper-shredders.
- I have not seen High School Musical. Nor do I want to. You can't make me. If I see Zach Efron, or whatever that kid's name is, walking down the street, I'll punch him in the face. Don't think I won't.
- I always know when I really like a song when it makes me want to put my hands above my head. It's a really strange reaction, but also very specific.
- I dropped a bottle of Boone's (wine cooler) on my foot on my 21st birthday...I still have the scar.
- The best deli sandwiches I've ever had came from Perry's in Inverness Park, CA.
- I'm obsessed with owls. I'm not really sure why, but I find owls very pleasing, especially when they're done in a japanese, cartooney way.
- I talk a lot of trash while driving. I don't consider this road rage, just pointing out the obvious.
- When I was younger, I used to read the ingredients in shampoo. I liked to see how many letters long they could make a chemical's name. I think the record was 26.
- The best power tool I ever used was an electric drill with an 18" bit. It was...very satisfying.

The small private pool was nice. The loft upstairs was very comfortable with a good TV system. Starbucks was right next door. Good location for shopping and the entrance to the beach was really convenient.
The bathroom had no door, it is completely open and had a bad odour even after the room was cleaned. The lack of bathroom/toilet privacy made our stay awkward. It's not geared to families, in fact its not geared to anyone who doesn't want to be exposed while using the shower or toilet. The dingy feel of the room downstairs.. The insects at the breakfast buffet.
I like staff
Nothing that I dislike, everything is good, only that the hotel is alittle expensive
Being beachfront Amazing room The staff were amazing and kind Great service
The fire works late at night
Small room Bad breakfast
Location Staff friendliness Pool Spa
Cleanliness Room Facilities (Little old)
The location and staff
Mosquitos,poor wifi,old building needs renovation
Site Pool Staff Room Wifi
Room should be cleaned better Showers need to be change as they are old and cause leaking
The privte pool was big
Great location,close to the madness of Patong, great breakfast,rooftop sunset cocktails were fantastic, free mini bar everyday!! Staff were friendly,day spa was awesome,wifi access,pools are both great
The constant smell of sewerage from the often blocked system.Had to have the toilet plunged 3 days in a row to get things down! When it rained heavy the water was coming up in the shower and wet area drains.Pool access room has no ladder to get out of so you have pull yourself up out of the pool....not easy, or walk all the way around!
Great breakfasts (freshly squeezed juices when asked) Friendly service Offered us showers as we had a late flight in the day. Access to the beach. Free mini bar
Noise at the front (road side). Especially police blowing whistles to stop traffic. Hard bed
Location for patong beach is perfect. The staff was so sweet and helpful
The beds were a bit stiff
This hotel dosn't worth than 3 stars and cost you more than $150/Night, I stay here 4 nights. The stuff very helpfull, nice and profisional. The hotel near the sea, and in the middle of Patong beach.
You hear what your neighbors whispering at the next room, you can't sleep after 7am because of nuisance! If you looking for quiet & peaceful place, this is not your hotel!
Nothing about this hotel is short of excellent. The staff were amongst the most friendliest, accommodating, happy people you could ever wish to meet. I will be returning again very shortly !!
That fact I was unable to stay longer
The location was perfect
We had a cockroach at our first night in the room
Carefull by the employees
The staff were friendly
Absolutely everything
The staff was very friendly, helpful and very quick on thier responses. The location was very close to the famous bangla road its only 3 min walking and lies dirctly on the beach. The room with private pool was amazing.
Everytime we want to swim in the pool we had to call the room service first to clean the tree leaves on the pool so its better to cut the tree or change its place because the pool was durty because of it. The room was full of bugs because of the small spaces in the door separating the bed room from the swimming pool area, thats why I had to buy the bugs spray.
Close proximity to Central Patong, Backs on to beach, friendly staff.
Pool access was not easy to access, no steps. Pool not clean. Too noisy with fireworks every night on beach.
Location, if you love spending time on the beach all day long. A lady staff with a tooth-brace at the reception is sincere, friendly and helpful. Some free drinks in the minibar!
I love Thailand and have travelled to Thailand for over 30 times and stayed in different settings of resorts. This is obviously the worst choice of mine. FIrst, the tiny reception is strangely designed, we were forced by a male staff to wait at a waiting / sitting area next to the noisy and hot street. The room is without any relaxing and resort-feel at all. All walls are wooden lacquered and floor is cheap tiled. Quite contrary to the idea of Gaudi, the room is all straight-line designed. You will easily get hurt by the extended bed base, which are useless and ugly, if not by the desk conner of the room. The sitting area is a huge bench-like structure with another squared ugly movable coffee table. The lightings of the room and toilets are also poorly designed. It feels like staying in a large match box but not a romantic 5 star hotel room. The toilet has a small counter top for your toiletries and an ugly clothes stand. The balcony is only good for hanging wet clothes and door lock needs to be replaced. Breakfast is a joke too! We expect a lot of fresh fruits at least but everything is of inferior standard. Bacons are aged and everywhere are full of flies. We had to eat breakfast outside the hotel the next day. The swimming pool is not beautiful at all. I don't understand how this hotel can be rated a 5-star when it only deserves a three? It is really really over-priced!
The staff were amazing
We loved our stay at La Flora. The nicest staff you will ever find, great breakfast buffet, fantastic location right on the beach and very clean and modern. Its the first time that we have come across a free mini bar in the room with beer, water and soft drinks that get replenished daily! We cant wait to go back!
Central in Patong and beachfront. Beautiful resort with very friendly and helpful staff.

For the 12th year, Free Comic Book Day will be celebrated at comic shops throughout the world, with millions of comics planned to be given away. The event falls on the first Saturday in May, and this year coincides with another geek-friendly holiday.
Free Comic Book Day includes Star Wars, Superman
Many "Star Wars" fans celebrate May 4 as "Star Wars Day," based on the fairly humorous premise that "May the 4th be with you" sounds similar to the phrase from the films, "May the Force be with you," referring to the unseen energy field that flows through the "Star Wars" universe.
This year's Free Comic Book Day features a "Star Wars" story from Dark Horse comics, written by regular "Star Wars" writer Brian Wood. The issue will also feature "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and "Captain Midnight" stories. It's one of 12 "gold sponsor" Free Comic Book Day books that should be available in all participating stores, at least as the day begins. Including "silver" sponsor books, which are available at stores that chose to bring them in, there are 52 total Free Comic Book Day comics from which to choose. Major characters including Superman, Batman, the Avengers, the Simpsons and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are featured in this year's event.
Free Comic Book Day was created by Concord, Calif., comic book retailer Joe Field, owner of Flying Colors Comics and Other Cool Stuff.
Since its inception, Free Comic Book Day has given out over 27 million free comics to nearly 8 million people. Diamond Comics Distributors, which sponsors the event, said in a news release that more than 4.6 million comic books are expected to be given away this year.
A dozen stores in the Oklahoma City area are participating.
"There are so many cool things about comics — the art, the stories and then sharing comics with friends and family," Field said in an email. "That's the heart of Free Comic Book Day. There's a lot of preparation and a lot of care going into making FCBD special for all those who attend. And that's what makes the event seem more like a holiday year after year."

I met a friend here for a drink recently. Though I was greatly looking forward to going there the whole experience was spoilt by the staff who were rude, unfriendly and unhelpful. I had to wait about ten minutes to get a table and not one member of staff approached me in the meantime- even to extend a welcome which I believe is a must in any establishment. Over the course of the evening we had to ask for service every time we needed anything despite there being more than enough waitors on duty to notice empty glasses. We were seated on the roof terrace which is a beautifully calm space inthe middle of teh city. However the staff started to noisely push chairs in under the tables, shut the umbrellas and blow out the table candles around us at about 10pm which was more than a subtle hint that they wanted to go home. We would not have minded moving indoors if it was a case of them wanting to close the area but they did not have the courtesy to ask. It's a shame that what is actually a lovely bar was so spoilt by the staff.
