Full Disclosure
mailing list archives
This and other similar ones have been flooding it's way across the internet
for a while now, that one I have received in most of my email accounts
(personal & business) over the last 2 weeks.
Unfortunately while people are stupid enough to believe the email, who will
click on the link and supply the details, the more your going to receive, on
a quick browse of the Citibank site and speaking to a couple of friends who
indeed have accounts with Citibank, there have been no warnings or
statements issued as far as they or myself are aware.
It's good to know that banks like these like to protect and inform there

Assalumalaikum I have a very intense fear of needles, that even when I go to have an injection, I start crying immediately, I know that it doesn't hurt as much as I think it does, but I'm still very scared, I try to think of other things but I can't. I know this is all for my benefit but the phobia is very intense. I was thinking if there's any islamic way in getting rid of a fear such as this,that I can do myself at home. Jazakhallah
Before you do anything you should be able to say Bismillah right? If not then maybe its something that shouldn't be done. I have had many things done to my teeth/ mouth on the last year (alhamdulillah)and also many needles / shots on my mouth. While I waited I would repeat Bismillah Arahman Arahiym la illaha ilallah Muhammadur rasoulallah(sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) this helps wellahi. Insha Allah Insha Allah it will help you too . (you don't have to say aloud , in your heart is good)

Dear Valued Newegg Customer,What's that disclaimer mean? Well, for those of us in states with sales tax, it's a line item on our tax returns (use tax), which you are supposed to fill in with the amount of sales tax you would have paid had you bought certain out-of-state items in your state. And, of course, we a) all take the time to keep track of that, b) all pay it.
As a result of recent changes in New York State tax law requiring certain out-of-state retailers to collect and remit sales taxes to the State of New York, we began collecting applicable sales tax for all orders shipped to New York addresses starting June 1, 2008.
After careful review and consideration, we are pleased to inform you that we have stopped collecting New York sales tax, effective August 21, 2008. This decision was driven by your direct and candid feedback and our continued commitment to you as our valued customers. We appreciate your patience as we worked through this process, and would like to reiterate our commitment in offering our customers the broadest product selection, competitive pricing, fastest shipping, and award-winning customer service.
We look forward to continuing to provide you with the premier online shopping experience for all of your IT and consumer electronics needs.
Bernard Luthi
Newegg.com Company Spokesperson and
Vice President of Merchandising
Disclaimer: While Newegg no longer charges sales tax to its New York customers effective August 21, 2008, you may still have an obligation to pay New York State use tax on your purchases. Newegg cannot offer you any tax advice, so please refer to applicable law if you have any questions about use tax. Nothing in this email shall be deemed to approve the validity of any New York State law, including but not limited to section 1101(b)(8)(vi) of the New York State Tax Law, which purports to require Newegg to collect and remit New York State sales tax on its sales to residents of that state.
The Supreme Court's reasoning was at least partially based on the fact that, at the time the case was decided in 1992, there were over 6,000 separate sales and use tax jurisdictions in the United States (states, localities, special tax districts, etc.) and to impose a collection obligation on a remote seller would impose a crushing burden that would severely restrict interstate commerce.
You gotta love NewEgg.
NewEgg definitely rocks, though stopping the collection was as much in their own interest as that of their customers. It probably didn't take them long to realize that they were soon going to have every little locality coming after them for tax money if they let New York set the precedent.
I stopped buying from TigerDirect for a while when I lived in NC because they collected taxes there.

I think I am ready to do smoothies again. As evidenced by my Instagram feed, my fellow health food bloggers are in love with the smoothies, but I have been smoothie adverse for the last year. I got on a huge daily-smoothie kick for a couple of years after my husband surprised me with a Vitamix, but after the birth of my daughter, I lost interest in making and drinking them. Well, I think I am back, and just in time for spring!
Smoothies are a simple and healthy way to start off your day or to refuel in the afternoon. I am particularly tired of my basic green smoothie recipe so for my journey back in the smoothie world, I decided to recreate an old classic - the strawberry banana smoothie. I consider this recipe "updated" because it includes the addition of several healthy options such as spinach, coconut milk, hemp seeds, flax seeds, and more!
Here are some tidbits on the health benefits of these ingredients:
- spinach - one of the most nutrient dense foods you can eat. Loaded with vitamins and antioxidants!
- coconut milk - contains lauric acid which has many germ-fighting, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties.
- hemp seed - loaded with protein, omega- 3 and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) which is an especially beneficial type of omega-6 and anti-inflammatory building block.
- flax seed - a good source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids.
- lime - stimulates digestion and is a great source of vitamin C.
- shredded coconut - packed with B vitamins and trace amounts of copper, zinc, magnesium, manganese, iron and calcium.
- nutmeg - includes minerals that keep your immune system strong and contains myristicin which is known to protect your brain against dementia.
I am looking forward to bringing you more interesting and unique smoothie combinations to add to your repertoire this spring and summer -- the time of year when smoothies really seem to hit the spot!
With Zest & Zeal,
Updated Strawberry Banana Smoothie - gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, no-refined sugar
- One frozen banana
- 2 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 Tablespoon hemp seeds
- 1 Tablespoon ground flax seeds
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Shredded unsweetened coconut flakes
- Nutmeg
- Place banana, strawberries, spinach, coconut milk, hemp seeds, flax seeds and lime juice in a Vitamix (or blender).
- Blend until thoroughly combined.
- If necessary, add ice or water to reach your preferred consistency and temperature.
- Garnish with coconut flakes and a dash of nutmeg.
- Drink up and be healthy!

3 Things I Did Wrong with My Last Startup
I had a startup that failed in 2009. It was called Parrotview. We built a social shopping web application that no one wanted to use. It took a long time for me to be able to talk about this, but here are 3 things that I did wrong:
1) I didn't build an audience.
As the "business" co-founder, it was my job to get an audience for our product. Lots of business co-founders think that they should just wait around until the product is built before trying to market it. I thought that too. But, even if you are waiting just a couple of months to build out a minimum viable product (MVP), that is still 2 months of your precious runway gone to waste. Here's what I should have done:
a) I should have started a blog with interesting, relevant content to attract my target audience. Blogs take a long time to build a following, so starting early is important.
b) I should have started an email newsletter to go with the blog. Blogs in themselves are only good if your audience continues to come back to your site on their own. Having email subscribers means that you have an instant audience every time you have a new post or a new message.
This is what my friend Eric Bahn's company Beat the GMAT did right. Today, Beat the GMAT (recently acquired by Hobsons) is a social networking platform that attracts millions of prospective MBA students. But, their first site was simply a blog that Eric used to show others how to solve GMAT problems, and it was just a blog that attracted a large initial following. We tend to think that our initial product out of the gates should be cool and something we code or build. But, Eric's was just a blog.
Writing a hit blog is tough and takes time even with good content. But, the best bloggers I know just constantly write good content religiously to build an audience, and it's important to start on day 1.
2) I didn't get feedback from the right people.
Building the right audience is also important. Some bloggers incentivize people to sign up for their email lists with freebies and giveaways. This can work wonders for attracting subscribers, but it's also important to make sure that the subscribers are actually the right audience. My friend Ilya Lichtenstein built his company MixRank by offering his audience free consulting. He spent a lot of time on this, but by doing this free consulting, he knew that he had a strong, relevant audience that they could get feedback from and would later launch their product to. With my company Parrotview, we did actively seek feedback on our product but from totally the wrong audiences!
3) I didn't test the revenue model upfront.
Parrotview started out as a free consumer product where you could shop in real-time with your friends. We didn't test the business model. It would have been nice to have been able to know that with X number of people, on average, Y people click on this or buy this to be able to have gotten a sense of what kind of business scale we were potentially looking for. Obviously, consumer products often try to build for lots of mass (ala Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest), but realistically most consumer startups never get to that level and fail, because their somewhat-large audience size isn't large enough. So having a clue for what level of scale was even required would have been helpful.

Story adapted from:
Bath salts: The quasi-legal drug allegedly behind Miami's cannibal attack
By The Week's Editorial Staff
The dangerous synthetic thought to have played a role in a vicious mauling — of a human, by a human — can be as easy to buy as aspirin.
Authorities suspect that the allegedly deranged attacker who gnawed off 75 percent of a homeless man's face in Miami on Saturday was under the influence of a dangerous yet sometimes legal drug known as "bath salts."
Reports suggest that the alleged attacker, 31-year-old Rudy Eugene, was on his way to a friend's house in northwest Miami when his car broke down in the scorching 90 degree heat. He then abandoned the vehicle and stripped off his clothes. At around 2 p.m., Eugene encountered 65-year-old homeless man Ronald Poppo napping, and, for reasons that are unclear, allegedly brutally assaulted him for 18 minutes, viciously tearing at Poppo's flesh with his teeth. Police arrived and repeatedly warned Eugene to stand down before shooting him; Eugene died at the scene.
Could bath salts really have been behind the day's gruesome events? Here's what you should know:
What are bath salts?
"These are not the bath salts you buy at Victoria's Secret," Ohio emergency room physician Dr. Howard Mell, who has seen seven cases of bath salt-related deaths this year, tells CBS News. The highly addictive mix of chemicals is often referred to as a "cocaine substitute," and contains synthetic alternatives to stimulants like coke, LSD, PCP, and methamphetamine. The crystals can be snorted, smoked, or injected directly into the bloodstream.
What do bath salts do?
The most common side effects are agitation, fast heart rate, hallucinations, seizures, high blood pressure, and paranoia, according to the CDC. "The psychosis seen in some users is truly remarkable, in a very scary way," Mark Ryan, director of the Louisiana Poison Center, tells Forbes. The stimulant can temporarily give users superhuman strength, in some cases rendering a stun gun or taser ineffective. "People high on these drugs have done some bizarre things," says Ryan.
Where do bath salts come from?
People first began using them in Germany in 2007, and the drug has since made its way to the U.S. Authorities believe bath salts are mainly imported from China. They're sold at gas stations, convenience stores, and head shops in some states, and on the internet under names like "Ivory Wave" and "Bliss." If you know where to look, "they can be as easy to buy as aspirin, right over the counter," says the Sun Sentinel.
Wait — the drug is legal?
Sort of. Last fall the Drug Enforcement Agency instituted an emergency 12-month ban on three common chemicals used to make bath salts: Mephedrone, MDPV, and methylone. And 38 states — including Florida, where the attack took place — have also placed bans on what they term "substituted cathinones." Yet many states don't administer penalties for violations, and experts say the current rules are ineffective. The chemicals used to make bath salts can be "tweaked slightly and classified as a new drug, making it easy to skirt around the law," says Meghan Neal at the New York Daily News.
Okay. But could bath salts really turn someone into a cannibal?
That remains unclear, and an autopsy still needs to be conducted to determine if the drugs were involved in Miami's attack. But there are plenty of other disturbing bath salts stories. After using the drug in 2010, a 21-year-old Louisiana man slashed his own throat, but lived. Then, once he was stitched up, the man shot and killed himself.
Another incident involving bath salts in Seattle saw U.S. Army medic David Stewart allegedly kill his wife (who was found to also have bath salts in her system) and 5-year-old son. And last year, poison-control centers tallied more than 6,100 bath salt-related emergencies.

SkyWest To Take 20 More CRJ700s
SkyWest Airlines will fly another 20 CRJ700s for United Airlines as part of a deal that saw the St. George, Utah-based regional place another $637 million order with Bombardier last month. The contract calls for delivery of the airplanes starting in the third quarter and ending during next year's first quarter. Configured to hold 66 passengers, the airplanes will carry six first-class seats. The only other airline to order Bombardier regional jets in a two-class configuration, Mesa Air Group, returned its CRJ900s to a standard layout after analyses showed the first-class seats didn't produce enough revenue to justify the resulting loss of capacity.

Insider knowledge: Highland Park Leif Eriksson whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Highland Park Leif Eriksson whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Nose: Spicy and sweet, floral, perfumed and malty, vanilla fudge and oak. Applewood and chocolate orange.
Palate: Vanilla and nectarine, juicy fruit, popcorn and heather, a ting of gentle woodsmoke.
Finish: Demerara rum, nutmeg and spices, a touch of coffee and gentle woodsmoke.
It's overpriced, but let it breath (lidded) for half an hour, it really opens up into a beautiful ethereal complex whisky.
18th August 2012
I bought the Leif E edition in a moment of weakness. I could not recall the rating or review in my M J Companion, however I am a Fan of the HP 12 and the 18, and thought I was pretty well protected by the HP branding.
Sadly I found this Leif E edition flat, lacking in the depth and not even close to the HP 12yr. I felt it was more an average American bourbon, than a Scottish single malt, and that was before I had done any reading or research. Not that I mind American whiskey's now and again; however at the price, I was truly expecting a more weighty palate and stronger smoother finish.
A 79 is lavish for this spirit, but I am only an armchair sipper!

Items marked with orange can be irritating and over-drying, especially to acne-prone skin.

|Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash, 6-Ounce Pump Bottle

Acne.org is not associated with this product. All proceeds from links go toward Acne.org maintenance.
[The prices listed above may change at any time and in some cases do not include shipping.]
I recently switched to this after using Cetaphil for several months. I prefer Purpose because it's definitely non-comedogenic, (Cetaphil is pretty rich and not-oil free and I'm pretty convinced that it does actually clog my huge pores.) This will be the only cleanser I'll use from now on.
I absolutely love this cleanser! It reminds me exactly of the acne.org cleanser, but just more of a cheaper alternative and can be purchased at the drugstore. I've been using this for about two months now (ever since i ran out of my acne.org cleanser) and it works wonders! my face always feels fresh and clean after using this. I highly reccomend this product if you cannot, for any reason, order Dan's cleanser online. It is just as effective!
If it would of not dry me out that bad i would of not stop it.
If you want to try it get at walmart online its cheap
I recommend this product!
Very good! :)
I love this cleanser! It cleans well and it doesn't leave my face feeling tight. I will continue to use this for the rest of my life :)
It's great for a cleanser. Just have to use a really good moisturizer afterwards.
i love this face wash. My boyfriend uses it which made me start having to use it. i used to have pimples under my skin and when I would wash my face I would feel them and there were so many. Then, after a few days all those pimples under my skin would appear. I had bad blemishes on my forehead but as soon as I started using purpose face wash it cleared my whole face. My face is softer and I have ZERO black heads zero pimples zero blemishes. It's amazing. Amazing what 5$ face wash can do.
I'm so grateful to acne.org for their reviews which helped me find this cleanser that is truly the best I've ever tried. It's so gentle yet effective at cleaning my face, even removing makeup. It doesn't cause more breakouts and doesn't dry my skin like every other soap or cleanser I've ever tried. I love this cleanser and I will use for the rest of my life!!! Thank you again to all reviewers on there for contributing to great products and for acne.org for creating a great website for us.
This cleanser is amazing!I am 24 and I am finally recovering from an intense 6 months of adult acne. Before I always had very clear skin. However, for some reason last July I got severe adult acne, and it wasn't just acne, it was cystic acne ALL over my face. One time I counted and I had over 20 blemishes/cystic acne spots on my face. It was terrifying and depressing. I spent over $300 on several face cleaners and acne treatments. I tried Aveda (gave me more acne), then all of the Philosophy products (worsened my acne by drying it out), then I tried several Neutrogena products (which dried out my skin because it was so harsh, and which gave me more cystic acne), and many more recommended products from Sephora (also didn't work). Then online I read about Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash, and how amazing it is. I read reviews that sometimes it was so gentle that it didn't work so well for fighting off incoming acne, so I decided to buy a Clearsonic Mia, which everyone raves about. And now so do I! Using Clearsonic with the Purpose facewash has been a miracle! My acne has finally started to clear up! I have gone from 20 spots to 1! However, I didn't want to irritate my big acne spots with the Clearsonic brush, so I only used the Clearsonic on the parts of my face that didn't have big acne spots, this helped in reducing my large pores.
1)Rinse my face w/ lukewarm water, put 2 pumps of the Purpose cleanser in my hand and lather it in my hands for 5-10seconds, then I lather it on my face, W/O using the Clearsonic.
2) Then where I have cystic acne I put A LITTLE bit of cortizone 10 cream on them, to reduce the inflammation under the skin, and also to give extra moisture.
3) Then I use Neutrogena's Combination Skin moisturizer.
1)Follow Morning's Step 1,
2) Put 2-3 pumps on the Clearsonic brush, don't use it on acne spots. (2 min)
2)Put very little bit of bp treatment on my danger zones, and on any acne spots.
3) Follow Mor

The most reviled FDA leader in history, prompting prompting many FDA employees to revolt (anonymously) with websites such as the now-defunct "Thoreau-FDA.com" is trying to influence healthcare policy and the FDA via a GOP think? He should have followed Tom Delay's resurrection on TV's "Dancing with the Stars"!!!
why does this blog take so long to post?
anybody else having this problem?
The FDA has allowed flawed and defective HIT to endanger patients. It will not be politically acceptable to pour water on O'Bama's HIT party, but these dangerous devices need regulation. Von Eschenbach allowed this to happen. Hamburg has not intervened.
Here's what I don't like about the FDA. There appears to be some level of arbitrary and non-scientific behavior in their decisions. Example -they reject Erbitux and as a result, Sam Waksal and Martha Stewart end up in jail. Obviously, dirtbag Spitzer went after Martha to give himself a name in politics, but we all know where that ended up. About 6 months later, I noticed a small paragraph in the WSJ about a German company testing the same drug for colon cancer with excellent results. So, Americans were denied the benefit of the drug and 2 people went to jail. (While other really, really bad criminals don't ).
It's really not possible for our government to have a purely scientific and objective group of people making decisions and we should all be cognizant of this fact.
One criminal reviewing another criminal's performance. It's all one, big, happy eugenicist family making money off of the sheep. The FDA and all other alphabet soup agencies are unelected and answerable to no one and unconstitutional; but they rule our lives. It's time to restore what is left of the Republic and send these criminals packing; either off to some country which won't extradite or to jail to sit alongside the "drug offenders". You know, those people dumb enough to take the "illegal" drugs brought in by the CIA.
This is a joke, right?
Von E is not even capable of representing himself, he was MIA during his tenure at the FDA and he is absolutely a political person that works against the interest of the American people. To join NG as an advisor tells us the quality of ideology he uses to determine 'safety' and 'effectiveness.' None!!!
The 510(k) process is a disaster and CDER is run politically from the inside by companies.
He brings 'the good old boy network' into the FDA to become even more corrupt.

It's all right. We understand. You're threatened, because you don't understand that there are valid choices aside from the morality offered by your God and no morality at all. We don't believe in God, so we must be sinners, right? I can see why you would draw that conclusion, but I think if you actually consider the matter, you'll realize that that's not the case at all.
See, we're not opposed to your God. In fact, I can honestly say that I am glad you have something that you believe in, that gives you something to fight for, and a God that offers you direction in your life. Everyone needs these things. Some of us, though, have found it outside of a supernatural father figure. We're not opposed to you needing — or wanting — one. We just would like to be able to not believe in peace.
Really, that's it. It's that simple. We want people to be able to believe whatever they want, without having the rules of another religion — whether that's Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Taoism, animism, atheism, or any other belief system in the world — imposed upon them by a government or other ruling body. In other words: if you want to pray in schools, I'm not going to stop you, as long as I'm not forced to do it myself. If you want to face Mecca five times time a day, I'll try to help you figure out which way it is if you're in a new place, and where you can put down your prayer rug. If I know you're Christian, I won't say 'Happy Holidays' to you; I'll wish you a very merry Christmas. I will do everything in my power to protect your right to worship who and how you think is correct, because that same right will be extended to me in my lack of worship.
Maybe you're wondering what it is I do believe, as a secular humanist. I'll warn you now, you won't agree with all of it, because I am an atheist. But I think, if you really look at the list, you won't see much else there that you disagree with, aside from the fact that I don't believe in God. Here, take a look:
Most of all, I don't believe you really hate me or my fellow humanists. In fact, I know this. You've demonstrated quite clearly, through your posts, that you don't really understand what secular humanism is, so the 'humanists' that you hate are just boogeymen and -women that you've created in your mind, who embody all you fear. They are not us. We're the ones waiting patiently for you to realize that we're your brothers and sisters, and there are bigger things to fear in the world than people who want nothing more to improve it and the lives of our fellow human beings.
I know you're not likely to have read this at all, and that this little ramble of mine may have just confused you more, but I'm going to keep hoping that it might have helped lay some of your concerns to rest. Live and let live, brother or sister. We love you because you are human. We hope you'll love us because we're human and, in the eyes of your God and Creator, worthy of that love.
I hope you find whatever it is that can bring you some peace.
With all my love and hope for a future when we can work together,
A Secular Humanist

Padma Resort Hotel is excellent! Food, rooms and grounds are amazing.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews Padma Resort Bali at Legian
Check your bills !
I stayed in this hotel for 5 days in August. The location is good, the garden chalets are clean and spacious. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed. The swimming pool is big and attractive. Please note that swimming in the sea is practically impossible because of the strong tides and currents (but try the surf body boards !). One thing was annoying. I decided to check the bill of my food/beverage consumptions and found out that local employees (in one case I recognized the duty manager's signature) earn an additional income by falsifying/signing bills on guest's names and room numbers (in my case 4 out of 12 bills were falsified). So, be aware and write down your consumptions (as you do not get a copy).
Nice hotel
I booked for a superior room direct at the hotel's website. There were some hiccups when we checked in. No superior room was available when we checked in so we wasted about 2 hours before things were sorted out.
Other than this, the service of the hotel is good. The hotel has a nice landscape and the pool is just so inviting that it's difficult to resist. The Italian restuarant in the hotel serves good food although the menu is a bit limited. The hotel is situated at a quiet stretch of the Legian beach that oversees beautiful sunsets every evening.
If you're looking for a nice and relaxed holiday without burning a big hole in your pocket, Padma might be for you. It has travel agents within the hotel itself which is really convenient if you need to rent a car.
We had a lovely time and would consider staying at Padma again!
Concern over room allocation and club benefits
Dear TripAdvisor
I have just read the review on Hotel Padma Bali from:
_member, Melbourne Australia -May 24 2005 re"do not stay at the Padma"
We have booked this hotel and have a Garden Deluxe Chalet room with
Club Benefits. Could you please give me more information from this member as to why it was so disapointing - just so we are prepared and know what to look for! This would be of great service to us and could make or break our holiday. Your site has been most helpful up to now and I hope you can assist me with this really important information.
Do not stay at the padma
good location but make make sure your travel agent confirms the room type you have paid for otherwise you will be disappointed as the hotel management does not care if they over book your room. be prepared to complain and be taken to a better hotel. do not include club garden club benifits in your package as this is a waste of money. if you want toast at breakfast be quick because one 4 slice toaster between 150 people may disappoint you
Padma was wonderful
We stayed in the Padma for 4 nights 5 days, was able to get a late check-out at 6:00 p.m. so was able to spend the whole last day relaxing. We stayed in a Junior Suite, very nice and clean. The hotel grounds was the most tropical place and very well maintained. The pool area was nice and big for children and adults. Nice swim up bar area. They have an American style breakfast which was very nice. We had dinner one night at a theme style BBQ and the food was fantasic. They had an Indonesian style dancing which kept us entertained. The hotel staff was very helpful and the language barrier never seemed to exist, they spoke pretty good English. They also supplied us with 3 bottles of water a day so was able to use that, so managed not to get sick. The rooms are situated in a way where you feel like you have a lot of privacy. This hotel you might have to pay a little more money for but it is well worth it. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! This is what you call Tropical Paradise!!!
Great value for money
I stayed in Hotel Padma in February 2005 and I really loved it! Very peaceful, not bordered by busy streets. Has excellent gardens to walk around and a very good pool area. The breakfast is something amazing!! Very good variety: continental, american, japanese, indonesia, thai, vegetarian selection of buffet breakfast! Rooms are spacious and are in good conditions. I stayed in a Deluxe room which is around a stantard but was very good quality. Plus they offered 3 bottles of mineral water per day!
A beautiful getaway ..one you wont ever forget
A friend and i both 18 years of age stayed at Hotel Padma Bali in October 2004. We stayed in a Delux Chalet, absolutely beautiful. The rooms are spotless, beautiful bathrooms and excellent room service. Our room looked upon frangapani trees and a beautiful tropical garden. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, so much to choose from. The food from the hotel menu was very nice too. Not too expensive to us but for the Bali people this hotel was very expensive. We ate at many resturants in Bali too, one of our favourites was the Indo-National, just off Padma Street, (walking distance) run by an Australian couple from Sydney. You can get a great meal for a great price, and the food is very yummy. Extremely nice couple. Another resturant was Macaronis on Legian street, very swish.
Catching a Blue Bird Group taxi, (the good taxis) didnt take long to get to Kuta or Legian Street. approx 10.000rp ..a couple of dollars...very cheap. Its so close to main destinations but feels like its such a long way away when your there. very secluded, so relaxing.
If you have never been to Bali, its a must. And definetly stay at Hotel Padma. Laying by the pool is amazing, the tan comes along quite nicely. :). The beaches arent all that nice but out further on a boat snoarkling is awsome. definetly try white water rafing run by "Club Aqua" in Bali, and also jet skiing and Para Sailing. So much fun, and not expensive.
If you love night life, Paddys is a must to go to, we spent 4 nights in a row there. Everyone is there to have a good time. Great music and drinks, great atmosphere.
All i can say is save your $$ as much as you can, because the more you can save the greater your holiday will be i promise you that. But make sure you stay at this hotel. Im going back in 2005, i loved it that much.
Tranquil Padma
We were staying at the Padma in July 2004. We loved every minute of it. The pool area is glorious, the staff efficient and friendly the atmosphere was magic. Very clean and well run motel.
Big Hotel with great pool!
My husband and I stayed for five days at the Padma in June 2004 - its a very large hotel and we found it to be quite impersonal. We were initially bumped from the room we had booked and only got it back when we insisted on it, the hotel staff were quite happy to give us one of the cheaper rooms in the hotel complex that smells like mould.
Having said all of this, we ended up having a lovely stay, mostly by the pool. Our room was very clean and had a nice big balcony looking over the garden. There are many, many cheaper restaurants nearby so we didn't eat in the hotel apart from breakfast.
I would recommend this hotel if you like big hotels.
Beautiful hotel
Stayed at the Hotel Padma in Bali. Very beautiful hotel, with landscaped areas everywhere. We stayed in one of the garden villas (rather than the main block), which had a beautiful bathroom, and little patio where we read books and drank wine in the evenings. Well worth the extra for this.
We didn't really use the VIP bar/lounge - it was very Japanese sterile, but spent a lot of time by the pool ordering bananaramas. The hotel has excellent buffet breakfasts, and the on-site restaurants were good, and prices seemed reasonable but were very expensive by Balinese standards.
The hotel is right beside the beach, which was very polluted with litter blown in by the tide being swept off each morning by locals. However a problem all along Kuta and other beaches. Stick to the pool (the beach is too dangerous to swim in anyway).
We would recommend the hotel - good facilities, great service, immaculately clean, beautiful pool with swim-up bar, great buffet breakfast, lush garden surrounds.
If you are staying at the Padma, there is a fabulous Thai restaurant which is a 10-15 min walk or 2 min taxi drive, in Jelan Pura Bagus 523, which is little-known but you sit in little huts amongst trees, with fantastic Thai food for a few dollars. There is a beauty place above to get a massage for a few dollars also. Great value.
TripAdvisor Reviews Padma Resort Bali at Legian
Travel Blogs from Legian
Busy shopping
We woke after a great nights sleep, nothing compares to the nice soft bed. No chance of much sleep on the plane.
After breakfast looked around the resort, wow is it big! Met Puju and organised some sight seeing for during next couple of days. Left for Kuta in the afternoon by taxi and started at the Bali Memorial. It was emotional to stand …
Dernier jour... sniff!
Sur la derni�re nuit, on s'est fait plaisir. Tr�s bel h�tel, un peu de plage, un peu de piscine, quelques cocktails, et une tr�s cool soir�e avec les Sumatra Cowboys, groupe de rock dans un bar sympa, qui a bien voulu nous graci� - FINALEMENT - d'une chanson de Bryan Adams!

Week 32- Legian, West Bali
West Bali to the Australians, is what the south of Spain or Benidorm is to the Brits. Loud, busy, being hustled and bustled. "Hey you look" every time you walk past a shop, trying to be ushered into each bar or restaurant. Seminyak, Legian and Kuta are three towns, north to south about 20 minutes apart, Kuta being the Ibiza town during peak season, however the season had only just began when we got here, and everything ...
Bargaining in Bali
... As we looked at menus along the way, main courses are the equivalent of about $5 Canadian. Beers are cheap too. I could definitely get used to this. One thing we have been told by many is to bargain with the vendors. This definitely hasn't been my strong suit in the past, but we were told it's part of the culture and the locals expect you to do so. They'll be happy to bargain back until an agreement is made. I thought I'd test out my ...
... for Uluwatu. Even though the surf wasn't great there were still some fun looking rollers lining up really nicely through racetracks. Kind of sucked to watch and not be able to go out yet due to my arm. Matt didn't want to go out by himself. The plan for the rest of the day is to perch up on a beach in Nusa Dua, and grab some lunch at our favorite restaurant of Makan Yuk before deciding whether or not to head into Kuta tonight. I'll let you know how all that goes tomorrow.

Trust and Betrayal - OAV Series At Its Best
Darren Pangan December 4, 2006
Nobuhiro Watsuki's Rurouni Kenshin was a sure hit. But what's even more amazing are it's OAVs (Original Anime Videos), especially the first one. Rurouni Kenshin's first OAV, Tsuiokuhen, which was translated and the title was changed to Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal, has got to be the best OAV series that I've seen. I bought a video of this a few years ago (I don't remember exactly when) as recommended by a classmate in college. Although Rurouni Kenshin is popular in our area, not many people have seen the OAVs.
Although the Rurouni Kenshin is a mix of comedy, action and drama, Tsuiokuhen doesn't have the humor that the series have. This OAV series is seriously heavy drama that can really get you carried away. I feel depressed everytime I watch the video. There's also action but it doesn't take the center stage. But these fighting scenes are really, really good because the animation and movements are detailed. Most of the fight scenesa are brutal with lots of violence and blood spill. I don't know if that's a good thing but graphically, it looked really good and well made. This series is made up of four episodes. In the English version, they called them "Acts":
Act 1: The Man of the Slashing Sword
Act 2: The Lost Cat
Act 3: The Previous Night at the Mountain Home
Act 4: The Cross-Shaped Wound
The story is based on a part of the Jinchuu Arc found in the manga. There were a few differences but the whole essence is unchanged. It tells the story of Kenshin Himura when he was younger, ambitious, and agressive. When he was still a little boy. Back then his name was Shinta. During the war, the people he considered as family were brutally murdered but he somehow survived. A master swordsman, Seijuro Hiko found him, took care of him and trained him to become a swordsman. Eventually, he joined a rebel clan and became a popular assassin known as the Hitokiri Battousai. One mystery character in the TV series appeared here too. Her name's Tomoe and she became Kenshin's wife.
Everything about this video is heavily emotional including the language and music. I watched an English dubbed version and the voice actors did a very good job. I haven't seen the Japanese yet.
Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal is my favorite OAV series of all because of its excellent quality. The animation, story, drama, action, everything in it couldn't be any better. I don't see anything negative about the series. I recommend this anime to everyone. Actually, I lended my video to all my friends already and their reactions were the same.

I wish I conducted experiments. For some reason I forgot to mention that I thought experiments were cool to my high school counselor. I did mention I liked to watch movies and tell other people what was interesting about them, and I wanted to make them myself. So I was introduced to Mark Ferguson at Glenbrook South High School, and years later graduated with a documentary film degree from Columbia College Chicago.
If I could do it all over again, would I do it differently? Would it even be possible? Well, that would be one helluvan experiment itself.
Can you can be two places at once? Could you could be at the Hotel 1000 tonight listening to Warren Etheredge and Rom Brafman wax philisophic, and somewhere else at the same time?
The experiments in CLICK are great. There are lots of them. One is a great big auditorium of students engaged in an experiment that they had no idea they are participating in (enter me with big goggles with an under lit green hue behind a two way mirror–I would love it). All to find out how and why people click. The results are stunning.
In a way, Biznik is an experiment. We create a profile, engage in dialogue, share personal information with strangers, and eventually hope to learn something about ourselves and our world at the end of the day.

MOREnet Anticipates Needs of Future Technology - Completes Network Equipment Upgrades to be One of Few in the Country
Friday, January 17, 2014
|With the steady rise of streaming content and interactive web services, increased Internet bandwidth is in high demand. This past week, MOREnet completed a series of network equipment upgrades to increase its current infrastructure to support up to 8.8 terabits per second of network traffic in 100 gigabit per second (Gbps) optical paths. This upgrade ensures readiness to meet the demand of schools, libraries, government agencies and non-profit organizations who utilize the services of MOREnet and continue to rely more and more on Internet-based tools and resources.
MOREnet technicians complete network upgrades across the state, making theirs one of few networks in the country to have a 100Gbps capacity.
|With this equipment upgrade, MOREnet becomes one of the few networks in the country to support 100 gigabit optical paths. In addition, this lays the groundwork for the MOREnet network to meet future demands and support capacities of up to 1 terabit per second per optical path in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
|Dr. Gordon Springer, the scientific director of the University of Missouri Bioinformatics Consortium weighed in on the update, "These connections are enabling my ability to carry on research I have wanted to do for more than 20 years. Additionally, the capacity to move large quantities of data is of strategic importance for the State's research and education institutions in the years to come."
|Work on this project began in early 2013 when the University of Missouri was awarded a $1 million Campus Cyberinfrastructure – Network Infrastructure and Engineering (CC-NIE) grant to fund the build out of a 100Gbps circuit from Columbia to Kansas City and another 100Gbps circuit from Columbia to St. Louis. Both circuits will connect to Internet2's National Innovation Platform, making MOREnet the only research and education network providing network transport services for Internet2.
|"MOREnet's upgrade dramatically expands capacity to access Internet2's Advanced Network services at 100Gbps and beyond. This network project enables the University of Missouri's researchers to better detect and treat autism, for example, while also supporting other Missouri researchers and connecting collaborators throughout the nation and the world," said Rob Vietzke, Internet2 vice president of network services. "This is another key building block that expands Missouri's support for large-scale science, technology, engineering and mathematics for future discoveries. The Internet2 community is delighted to have MOREnet as a leading national contributor to the nation's innovation platform."
|Hank Niederhelm, Director of Infrastructure at MOREnet concludes, "We've seen tremendous growth in Internet bandwidth demand by our members in recent years and being able to position our statewide network to meet the continued demand is important to our members. Deploying a leading-edge network infrastructure capable of supporting very high bandwidth capacities will help Missouri to keep pace with new advances in education technology and research and we are excited to play a part in this."
