We arrived in Marrakech and were met at the airport by our arranged transport. He drove us around the medina a bit before taking us to Riad Carina.
As others have mentioned the Riad is located down sort of a dark back street. It is very easy to find, and the location is fabulous. We were within walking distance to many sites (Djemma al Fna, Bahia, and El Badia Palaces, etc). The location was safe even though slightly off the beaten path.
The Riad isn't extravagant, but is still elegant and reflects traditional moroccan charm. The room was very clean, the bed although slightly harder than we were used to was comfortable. The in suite bathroom was up to western standards, the only complaint I could even consider is the hot water didn't last long enough for an extremely long shower (but was more than sufficient...I just like to take long showers :).
The food is great. The breakfasts although not varying much were enjoyable. The fresh orange juice was delicious, and the mint tea also warmed you up (we visited in december so it was a little cool). We decided to have the Riad cook our meal for New Years Eve. We were extremely pleased with the food (4-5 traditional appetizers, a lamb tanjine with couscous, and a poached pear as desert) and would agree it was one of our best meals while in Morocco. I believe wine was included in the price of 19 Euros per person for the meal. This was by far our most expensive meal while in Morocco, and seemed even more so as we don't drink alcohol. I definitely don't regret dining in the Riad though at all!
The service is fantastic. The staff are warm and friendly and will do whatever necessary to help you. Sayid even went and picked up train tickets for us prior to a day trip to Casablanca. Also they are always willing to point you in the right direction, help you grab a taxi (I'd just recommend overall using the meter in the taxi while in the city), or assist in any other way.
There are many more great things we could say about our stay. When we come back to Morocco I expect we'll be staying here again. There are a thousand and one more reasons why Riad Carina is one of the top Riad's in Marrakech.
Thanks to the staff that made our Moroccan adventure even more magical!

Skadden pulls out of CityCenter
Commercial real estate
Send this to a friend
- Tierney Plumb
- Reporter
Following several months of negotiations, the Skadden law firm's pending deal to lease space at the new CityCenter D.C. project fell apart.
This spring, the firm signed a nonexclusive letter of intent to lease 350,000 square feet at two yet-to-be constructed buildings at the old convention center site. Hines/Archstone is developing the CityCenter project on 10 acres between New York Avenue, H Street, Ninth Street and 11th Street NW.
"Several weeks ago the prospective tenant elected to terminate the negotiations in order to pursue another opportunity involving their existing tenant space," said Bill Alsup, senior vice president at Hines, in a statement released Monday.
But despite the loss of a massive potential tenant, developers hope to start construction some time in the first half of 2011. Construction drawings, permits and approvals are nearly complete, said Alsup.
The firm, officially named Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Affiliates, will now stay put at its existing office at 1440 New York Ave. NW when its lease expires there in October 2013.
Skadden declined to comment.
Skadden's lease at CityCenter would have eaten up about a third of the office space planned for the site. In total, the project is planned to contain more than 1 million square feet of office space, 330,000 square feet of retail, a 350- to 400-room hotel, about 670 housing units and 2,400 parking spots.
"Hines/Archstone is in the process of completing the institutional equity financing required to support a project of this scope," said Alsup. "Our team remains committed to the project and the District ... CityCenterDC continues to be one of the most highly anticipated projects in the market."

I wish every religious leader & apologist would digest Einstein's
words on this.
Religious belief should be based on two things only – the impact it makes in your life (its fruits), and faith.
When religion tries to establish objective truth it inevitably runs into trouble as any historical examination of this effort proves convincingly.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A state audit says health care services for the approximately 9,000 adult inmates in Minnesota prisons should be better coordinated and more accountable.
Minnesota has one of the lowest inmate mortality rates in the nation, but recent high-profile deaths in state prisons prompted legislative auditor Jim Nobles to examine how the Department of Corrections care for the medical, dental and mental health needs of others.
Minnesota Public Radio News says nearly one-third of inmates in the state's aging prison population have chronic ailments, including heart disease and diabetes. The audit found offenders with mental illnesses spend more time in segregated cells than other inmates. Corrections officials say they don't segregate offenders who aren't responsible for their behavior.

Dakota Goyo reaches for the stars
Dakota Goyo's recent eighth birthday party will be a hard one to top: a red carpet Hollywood party and the premiere of Resurrecting the Champ (which opens today) in which he has his first major film role.

Dakota Goyo's recent eighth birthday party will be a hard one to top: a red carpet Hollywood party and the premiere of Resurrecting the Champ (which opens today) in which he has his first major film role.
"How am I going to beat that next year? There'll be no Chuck E. Cheese, that's for sure," said proud mom Debra Goyo, a former model/singer who also manages the careers of her two older sons, Dallas, 13, and Devon, 11.
Dakota was looking forward to reuniting with castmates Josh Hartnett, who plays his sportswriter father, Kathryn Morris, who plays his mother, and Samuel L. Jackson who plays the homeless washed-up boxing "Champ" of the title.
"I'm really happy that I'll see (the other actors) again. But when the movie's over, you're like so sad that you have to leave," said Dakota.
Oldest brother Dallas, whose interest in acting has waned with the onset of puberty, had another reason for wanting to attend the Hollywood party earlier this week.
"I can't wait to see Cameron Diaz," Dallas said.
Reminded that the blond beauty is currently dating Mindfreak magician Criss Angel, Dallas replied nonchalantly:
"I can make him disappear."
Attending a Hollywood premiere seems exciting enough for young Dakota but there's yet another premiere in his future.
Emotional Arithmetic – starring Susan Sarandon, Roy Dupuis, Christopher Plummer and Max von Sydow – which he filmed last fall in Quebec's Eastern Townships just after completing Resurrecting the Champ – has been selected to close the Toronto International Film Festival next month.
In the past year, Dakota also had a role in a TV pilot called Ultra, which wasn't picked up by a network, and had to turn down other projects.
Why the sudden demand for a cherubic blond boy with a shy smile and a dimpled cheek?
"I just think (Dakota) had a really great year last year," offered Debra Goyo.
Dakota has been appearing in commercials since a very young age and seems to take to the cameras like a fish to water.
Debra, who preps her sons for roles, said the life of a stage mom isn't as easy as it looks.
"I'm not sure everybody understands the amount of work that goes into it. They think it's really quite easy and it's not. It's a lot of long hours, a lot of night shoots ... a lot of preparing Dakota for auditions and learning really long scripts. It's not easy and at one point, (Dakota) wasn't reading yet," she said.
The family is also careful about what projects Dakota takes on.
"I'm pretty particular about the contents of the (scripts). I want him to grow up and be proud of the work he's done," Debra added.
Director Rod Lurie saw hundreds of youngsters to find an actor to play Teddy in Resurrecting the Champ and still wasn't happy. When a last-minute audition tape of Dakota arrived, Lurie immediately asked that he come to Calgary, where the initial filming began.
"They went for a walk together and they didn't come back for quite a while. And (Lurie) said to me right then, `This is the kid I want,'" Debra recalled.
Dakota had an on-set tutor during filming – as required by union rules – his own trailer and even a chair with his name on it.
Debra said her son was particularly interested in watching the playbacks of the scenes he had just filmed, loved to play chess with director Lurie and got a piggyback ride to the set every day from Hartnett, part of the bonding experience that made their father-son scenes in the film seem so genuine and heartfelt.
Dad David Goyo, who said he's getting used to playing Mr. Mom, pointed out returning home from the film shoot requires a bit of a cooling-off period for a young actor used to being treated like a movie star on set.
"It takes about a week adjustment period. On the set, everything is always given to (actors) and done for them," he said.
But Debra insists that Dakota won't be allowed to let fame go to his head.
"When he's home, he's Dakota. He still has his chores, he has to make his bed every morning. He has to keep his marks at a certain place. If he doesn't do well in school, he doesn't get to act," she said.
There are some perks that come with acting: Dakota has an ATV, a dirt bike and a horse named Tess, which is boarded at a nearby stable.
"Some of my friends say, `That's very cool.' I want to keep acting. I'll be acting probably until I get a lot older," said Dakota, who also thinks he might one day be a director.
Still, Debra said, his schoolmates help to keep him humble.
"Dakota has a tendency to sing during class at school ... while he's doing his work. It's really cute because some of the little girls get really annoyed and they'll say, `Dakota, when are you making a movie again?'" she said with a laugh.

The Armor of God coin, was originally designed to be given to Christian Chaplains, to boost their spirits for their efforts within military affairs. As the coins were given out their popularity quickly spread throughout the world. Now the Armor of God coin is purchased and used by various types of individuals and organizations who consider themselves warriors belonging to the Army of God. Be sure to look at our Armor of God products in our online store.
Armor of God Online Store
The Armor of God is based on a scripture found in the New Testament. The Apostle Paul states in Ephesians 6:12-13, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."
Paul then describes the individual pieces of armor in verses 14-17. "Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with the truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Finally, in verse 18, Paul admonishes us to pray always.
On the front side of the coin are two shields bearing the letters "RWH," which stand for "Return With Honor." This reminds us of the importance of not just serving, but serving honorably.
Due to the popularity and demand of the Armor of God coin, an Armor of God Pin, Armor of God Key chain, and Armor of God Pendant have also been developed. Each of these products can be used by:

First Steam-Powered Coin Press
Devised and built in France in 1833, the first steam-powered coin press was operated at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia on March 22, 1836. It quickly replaced the screw press in striking all copper coins and was gradually used to mint half dollars as well. In his report to President Andrew Jackson the following year, the Mint's Director, Robert Maskell Patterson, wrote: "As [other steam presses] are completed, the coining by human labor could be abandoned, and the work that can be executed in the Mint will be greatly increased."

BOGOTA (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Low rainfall linked to the El Nino weather phenomenon has led to drought in parts of Central America, causing widespread damage to crops, shortages and rising prices of food, and worsening hunger among the region's poor.
An unusually hot season and extended dry spells have brought drought to areas in eastern and western Guatemala and El Salvador, southern Honduras and northern and central Nicaragua, destroying swathes of bean and maize crops, the region's staple foods, and putting pressure on subsistence farmers and food prices.
"Extremely poor households across large areas of Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador will experience a rapid deterioration in their food security in early 2015.
"Atypically high levels of humanitarian assistance, possibly the highest since Hurricane Mitch in 1998, will likely be required in order to avoid a food crisis," said a recent report by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), run by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
Thousands of families in the region have become too poor to buy enough food for survival because poor harvests are pushing up prices of staple foods while coffee producers are hiring fewer seasonal coffee pickers and paying lower wages because of a coffee leaf rust or roya epidemic across Central America.
In Nicaragua and Honduras, red bean prices rose by up to 129 percent between January and June 2014, according to FEWS NET.
Other livelihoods in Central America, including fishing and livestock breeding, have also been hard hit by the recent drought and the El Nino weather phenomenon, FEWS NET said.
El Nino, which can last more than a year, significantly raises surface temperatures in the central and eastern areas of the tropical Pacific Ocean, a phenomenon linked to major climate fluctuations around the world.
In response to the drought, the Guatemalan government has said it will begin distributing 4,000 tonnes of food aid to more than 170,000 families affected by the drought from early October, using government and United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) food reserves.
One of the poorest countries in Central America, Guatemala already struggles to feed its population, particularly those impoverished indigenous communities living in rural areas.
Around half Guatemala's population of 15 million lives in poverty and the country has the world's fourth highest rate of chronic malnutrition, which affects almost half the children under five, according to the WFP.
In neighouring Honduras, the government is distributing food, including rice, beans and flour, and vitamin supplements to 76,000 families, many subsistence farmers, affected by the drought.

Robert Kidwell of Notre Dame signed a football scholarship Thursday afternoon to continue his gridiron career at Berry College. Kidwell was a four year starter and a senior captain for the Fighting Irish and helped lead Notre Dame to three straight playoff appearances. This year Kidwell earned All-District, All-State and Best of Preps honors.
"Robert was a guy we could always count on," said Notre Dame Head Coach Charles Fant. "He is the kind of guy that is so tough and so dependable, that sometimes he can get taken for granted."
Kidwell may be best known as one of the best, if not the best pulling guards this school has ever had. "I think the fact that he has played soccer his whole life, he has a level of foot quickness that most lineman can't handle, and of course his toughness is second to none," said Coach Fant with a smile.
"As a coach, you want kids that will listen, apply what you teach them and bring a high level of focus and work ethic to practice every day," said Bo Campbell, the Notre Dame defensive coordinator.. "Robert is the perfect 'coachable' kid that every coach wants to have and I had a blast coaching him and we sure are going to miss him."
After considering several scholarship offers, Kidwell stated, "I loved the campus at Berry and I liked the current players there." Berry is expecting to utilize Kidwell as a noseguard. He added, "I am also excited that my family and friends can come watch me play since it is not far away from Chattanooga."

WBIR is reporting a few problems with voting machines.
UPDATE: WVLT reports: "We had a few problems where workers weren't properly trained and we had technicians here and we went out there and got things going and right now things are running smoothly," says Greg Mackay, from the Knox County Election Commission.
We Should Demand Better
What is it with these clowns, they're paid good money, with plenty of perks and benefits and they only have two big events every two years and a presidential ballot every four years.
Problems start with McKay and the sooner you get his incompetency out of the way, the better off we will all be.
We've had more election issues than any other medium sized southern city outside of the state of alabama.
voting problems
Hickory you may be right. We'll see tonight. I was really impressed with the poll workers downtown, but have seen some really uneducated ones the last few years too. Speaking of Ala, according to Out and About mag, they just elected their first openly gay state rep. I beleive Ala is beating us on this one.... Stacey
I wouldn't say that the poll
I wouldn't say that the poll workers in question were uneducated, but more geriatric. The Election Commission needs to hire younger, more tech-savvy poll workers, or at least try to find a way to attract more of them.
Election Commission Is Not the Problem
I would beg to differ with Old Hickory and his general indictment of Greg McKay and the Knox County Election Commission. I have recently had to deal with the election commission dealing with a mistake regarding my voting registration (caused by an election commission in another county I lived in more than a decade ago) and have found the election commissioners to be easy to work with, talk to, and patient-- even as blew my own top. I have found McKay's staff at the courthouse to be professional and courteous to me and show a genuine interest in making sure my problem was fixed.
New voting machines (and old voting machines) are going to have problems. Given that this is a first run for local voters on the new machines, I would expect that a few problems will pop up. Some of them may have been unavoidable for the most part, many others likely can be corrected with a better working knowledge of the machines (which will come over the course of a couple of election cycles).
The election issues we've had this year that Old Hickory alludes to have little, if anything, to do with the election commission itself and more to do with the elected officials we installed as voters.
I tend to agree. From what I
I tend to agree. From what I can see, Greg Mackay is a responsive and proactive election administrator. Don't know about the other members of the election commission, but Mackay seems to do a pretty good job and seems committed to getting out the vote and getting it accurately counted.
Indeed there is a
Indeed there is a determination to make sure that those who are eligible to vote are able to do so. The staff member I was working with to resolve my problem even took the time to thank me for being a regular voter and wanted to assure me that he understood my concerns that I would have a voice in this election and that my vote would be counted. Long story short on that-- I voted today with not one bit of hassle or delay.
While the new voting machines (as WBIR's somewhat sensational headline suggests) may have had a few operating glitches, I haven't heard any actual news reports or witnessed any problems that could not have had happened similarily under the former machines. For that matter, those same problems (needing to reboot and other power glitches) happened in the previous elections, too. If we voted with pencil and paper someone would file a story about voting delays because the lead in someone's No. 2 Ticonderoga broke just as they were about to make their choice. News directors know that no one tunes into the news to see if all the planes landed safely, all drivers made it home unscathed, and all the voting machines worked smoother than human capability. It pays to point out the aberrations because the news is about aberrations not normalcy.
That being said, the WBIR piece did gloss over what I thought was a pretty nifty representation of McKay's sense of civic duty to voters-- the efforts by election workers to hand deliver a paper ballot to a voter who said he couldn't wait for the computer machines to reboot. THAT is responsive government and a mighty fine customer service ethic too rarely seen in civic leadership.
Greg Mackay is the best
Greg Mackay is the best election coordinator I've seen since I've been covering the election commission -- FAR AND AWAY the best. I wasn't even particularly "for" him when he got appointed, but he works hard and he works smart and he's fair. This office was notoriously incompetent and politics-ridden before he got the job, and he has turned the place around.
Two very able and honest election commissioners, Democrats Anne Woodle and David Eldridge, lost their jobs for supporting him because he was the best candidate (the job had been theretofore considered the provinance of black females), and I really respect them for it.
I hate the way this office is set up -- the commission is appointed by state legislators, and jobs there have been always been patronage plums -- but Mackay does better with these constraints than anybody else in the last 20 years. He's also a bit of a technology wonk, which is not a bad thing for this job.
Voting machines
I understand that just one machine was up and running at the South Community center on Maryville Pike when it opened. I got there to vote around 10:30 and by then they were all working but they may have been serving the tag end of the line as all 7 machines were occupied. Pretty unusual for a sleepy polling place that rarely has a line.

Jamie Heaslip remains captain of Declan Kidney's squad, while Ulster's Craig Gilroy and Rory Best are both on the line up.
Gordon D'Arcy and Peter O'Mahony have been named fit after they suffered a dead leg and concussion respectively during last weekend's victory over Wales.
Declan Fitzpatrick and Chris Henry are among the replacements for the match which takes place at the Aviva Stadium.
Keith Earls will sit alongside them on the bench after recovering from a damaged shoulder against Wales.
"The players have recovered pretty well from the Wales game. We took 48 hours off after the match and have toned down training since," said head coach Declan Kidney.
"Gordon, Peter and Sean all trained fully this morning so we don't envisage there being any changes."
It will be Ireland's second match in this year's Six Nations competition after defeating Wales 30-22 at Cardiff on Saturday.
The home side destroyed England's chance of a grand slam in 2011 when they defeated the visitors 24-8 in Dublin.
But England have not beaten Ireland in Dublin during the Six Nations for almost ten years and with seven wins in nine championship meetings, Ireland should be tipped to come out on top. However, bookers are unable to split them with both teams valued at 10/11.
Ireland squad:Rob Kearney, Craig Gilroy, Brian O'Driscoll, Gordon D'Arcy, Simon Zebo, Jonathan Sexton, Conor Murray, Cian Healy, Rory Best, Mike Ross, Mike McCarthy, Donnacha Ryan, Peter O'Mahony, Sean O'Brien, Jamie Heaslip.
Replacements:Sean Cronin, David Kilcoyne, Declan Fitzpatrick, Donncha O'Callaghan, Chris Henry, Eoin Reddan, Ronan O'Gara, Keith Earls.
