Rated 4 out of 5 by AFA2013 Staycation We stayed in Room 2061 and although it was clean and had a nice view, the air conditioner was unusually loud at start up. The unit should be looked at. Our friends (Room 2000) had no issues with their a/c unit. Thank you. July 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SPG214 Sheraton Wildhorse Pass Great facility, wonderful golf courses, horseback riding for all experience levels, meeting and event space is beautiful and pool area was large and quiet April 6, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by GetAway "Stay-cation"...not so much My wife and I were looking for a good "staycation" and chose to take advantage of the SPG promotion at WHPass. With so many other options in the Phoenix area, we will not be choosing this one again. The "good" - Food at the Sivlik Grill was fabulous! One of the best breakfasts we have ever had. Too bad you have to drive from you room to get there. The "bad" - Rooms were unacceptably noisy. All evening we sat and listened to the conversations in the rooms on both sides of us. At normal conversation levels we could hear every word clearly. The snoring from one neighbor kept us awake all night. - Layout of the hotel. There is NO convenient parking, forcing you to use valet. If your room is near the end of the building, and you want to walk to the lobby, pack a lunch. - Staff was less than friendly/helpful, when you could find them. - No acknowledgment of SPG members. What's the benefit? We did not utilize the golf or spa facilities, so we cannot comment on those. However, as with all other amenities (i.e. casino, restaurants, etc), nothing is conveniently located. September 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by mk727 Excellent Hotel The staff were great & helpful. Especially Elise, who provided excellent recommendations on the food. I definetly recommend for dessert the banana's foster in a mason jar. Very peacefull location, clean & comfortable. October 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fallon17 Everything was perfect except..... Jason on night audit was very rude and did not express the same friendly and outgoing attitude the rest of your staff maintained. All was wonderful and the hotel is truly a gem. Thank you for such an AMAZING stay. March 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Michael2014 Very Helpful The stay was very pleasant and comfortable. Nice break. The Agent was very helpful in ensuring all needed accomodations were fulfilled within very short notice. A bit pricey, but would stay there again! January 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TomD Amazing Resort As a platinum member Ive had the opportunity to stay at quite a few resorts and this is on par with some of the best! Great resort, golf course, spa and Kai restaurant is fantastic. Highly recommend this resort. January 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chris22 What a great hotel! I attended a conference for several days and the hotel was excellent. Great rooms, attentive staff, things to do, golf, great swimming pools and the desert views. A great place to stay and I will go back again. August 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by julilar GREAT STAY!!! This was a short 2 day stay and everything was perfect. My son loved roasting S'Mores around the fire. April 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TrickyD Romance package My stay was great the only thing that didn't go right was not receiving the complete romance package. The staff did credit me some money but having it would have been better. Other than that it was fantastic. September 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Avisitor001 Consistently good Having stayed at this hotel throughout the past few years, I've always been impressed with the service. The location is great & I wish that I had more time to use all the available facilities & activites. June 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by rahfj Best One night stay This is for the price, absolutely the best place to stay and relax. The layout is stunning, the service was exceptional, and whether it was for our one night or longer, I would so enjoy a whole week here. July 3, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by MSUAlum So so Room wasn't ready when I checked in. SPG perks were minimal, if any? Bathtub in room never had hot water. No refrigerator in the room, other than the packed minibar. Staff was mostly great, otherwise. January 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SeaGal Desert Oasis From the lobby to the conference/meeting areas, the hotel is a visual delight, showcasing beautiful Native American art. The guest rooms are designed for comfort....well appointed, quiet, and relaxing. March 7, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by sullivan322 Amazing place to stay! Although I was at the resort for a business event, I found it to be very relaxing. It was super clean, quiet and staff was extremely helpful in all situations. The resort is beautiful inside and out. May 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by clzdesigns55 CDI Escape2012 We had a lovely and relaxing time at our conference. Food & service great! Organization by the hotel staff for our conference was also great. Complimentary shuttle service to the Casino was terrific. September 19, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by NHCentral Average In Arizona there is competition. I feel that for a "resort" this should be well above the average hotel. Things like spa / fitness hours, wi-fi, good AC should be excellent, they were below par. July 25, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Joe01 Wedding night We arrived around 11:30pm and there was no one at the front desk. We had to wait several minutes for someone to come. and we were gioven a room that was not clean; the bathroom was very dirty. October 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dash Beautiful location Great views of the desert and mountains, great golf courses. Really enjoyed Rawhide, western town had a great dinner! Your Concierge staff did a great job setting reservations during our stay. March 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by chrissyd This hotel is the absolute best. This is my second time staying on this property and each time the experience was fabulous. As an Arizona resident this will be the "Staycation" hotel next summer. Thanks for a great hotel. October 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by BG44 Nice Staff, Okay Room Staff was very friendly. The property, as a whole, seemed well-maintained, but my room was in need of repairs. As much as the room cost I would have thought internet would be included. November 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by berlydallas Comfortable rooms, but Pool area a huge disappointment This was the second time we stayed at the hotel and we returned because of our first experience being so fantastic. I have to say that I felt like because it was the off season it was not staffed properly. There was a room service tray that sat outside the room across from us for two days. Every morning the pool had lot of dirty towels, beer mugs, glasses and pitchers by them. Even when we used the pool later in the morning it was still filled with dirty dishes and towels from the day before. The other feedback I would like to give is that the seating in the Ko-Sin restaurant is so uncomfortable. The booth seating and chairs are really hard to sit in. I was also surprised there was a charge to use the gym as most resorts of this standard have a gym for their guest to use at no charge. Bed and rooms were comfortable. We did have a nice meal at Kai one evening with our friends which was the highlight of our stay. I wouldn't mind staying again as it is a unique location and being a Sheraton I know that they can make the improvements needed, but I wouldn't recommend to anyone at the current condition. July 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Horse Beautiful resort Beautiful resort. Great facilities. Our 3rd stay. Rooms are great and nice views. Enjoy fitness area and the spa. Nice to have quiet pool. Atmosphere is more adult like, which we prefer. April 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Bill1010 Overall Hotel is very nice. The cleanliness of the main hallways/common area was less than impressive. Was there for 4 days and the hallways were never vacuumed during the stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. August 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Binka Love this place I cant wait to go back.This place was so beautiful inside and out. All the employees and I mean ALL the employees were really hospitable. Dont forget to ride the little boat they have. September 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by mtodd54 The Staff was Amazing! Everyone at the resort was amazingly friendly. When traveling on business around the holidays, it's tough being away from home. The friendliness goes a long way in my book. Thank you! December 20, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Getaway5 Small rooms The view was beautiful, and the staff was polite and helpful, however I was a little disappointed with the size of the room, and more disappointed with the size of the bathtub. December 22, 2012

Algadon Free Online RPG
We last wrote about Mafia MoFo. Today we're looking at a free online game called Algadon. It is similar to Mafia MoFo in some ways, though it seems to take the best features from numerous online games and add in its own unique features to comprise an excellent new creation. Algadon is medieval fantasy themed, which is an excellent alternative to all the mafia style games.
Mafia MoFo – Not Just Another Mafia Game
Recently, there has been a lot of activity with online mafia / mobster games, from the problems with Mafia Wars to the launch of Bulletproof, New Mafia, and more. You may be asking why you would care about yet another mafia game. Mafia MoFo sets itself apart from the rest in several ways. Mafia MoFo is not a MySpace game, which generally makes it more easily accessible, without the performance issues associated with Myspace. However, what really sets Mafia MoFo apart from the rest is the amount of activities that are available to perform. Mafia MoFo is miles ahead of the other games in this regard.
Gadget4All Roll-up All-in-One Mouse Pad with Speaker and USB Hub
Are your desktop and/or work area cluttered with adapters, wires, and all sorts of junk? Even if the answer is no, the Gadget4All all-in-one mouse pad can improve organization and offer more functionality for anyone that currently uses a mouse pad.
Google Earth Now Features Rome Reborn 2.0
How did people live thousands of years ago? The University of Virginia's Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities asked this exact same question. As a result, they decided to digitally rebuild the revolutionary city of Rome during the peak of its development (around A.D. 320 - the time of Constantine The Great). They figured this would be the best way to try and understand how humans lived so long ago.
Bulletproof MySpace Game Poised to Challenge Mafia Wars
A new MySpace game has recently surfaced that is poised to give Mafia Wars some stiff competition. Named Bulletproof, the game offers players a number of advantages over Mafia Wars, especially considering the recent frustration Zynga has caused for many of its players.
Windows 7 Features and Performance
There's much anticipation for Microsoft's next operating system release, Windows 7. Enthusiasts are still speculating on the official launch date, and as of writing, there is no official word from Microsoft. Below is a list of new features that enthusiasts can look forward to enjoying, most of which are confirmed in the current pre-release version that is nearly at a "feature-complete" state.
MvixBox 2-bay Ultra Performance NAS / Media Server
The MvixBox 2-bay high performance NAS / media server is a 3-in-1 solution for storing media files, operating as a media server, and facilitating file transfer. These features are already available in other options, such as the DViCo TViX M-6500A, but the MvixBox is a more affordable solution that also offers the bonus of dual drive bays.
Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 HD Webcam
There was a time when having a webcam was only for the wealthy. Those days are long gone. Today almost every household in the U.S. is able to connect to the Internet. With the boom of the Internet came social networking, online dating, instant messaging, and even online business meetings. No longer do we have to worry about the low quality, blurry, spherical webcams provided in the past. The future is here, and webcam quality has risen so much in such a short time it's astonishing, with Logitech leading the way. They released their Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 not too long ago, and we're lucky enough to be able to give you a quick overview of it.
Google Chrome Extension Support
Alternate browsers are becoming increasingly popular, even though Internet Explorer still has a stronghold when it comes to market share. Some of the most popular alternate web browsers available include Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Google's new Chrome web browser. Still in beta, Google's "Chrome" has attracted less than 2% of the Internet browser market at its peak, but Google engineers are working to enhance the software to make it more appealing and useful to its users. One very popular idea for improving Chrome is the addition of an extension system, which will enable third-party developers to produce plugins for any number of add-on features, ranging from browser enhancements to RSS readers, calendar/reminder extensions, etc.Chrome users can then install the plugins to complete tasks that Google did not integrate into the web browser.

Welcome to the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik (MPIK, Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics) in Heidelberg, one of 83 institutes and research establishments of the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft (Max Planck Society). The MPIK does experimental and theoretical basic research in the fields of Astroparticle Physics (crossroads of particle physics and astrophysics) and Quantum Dynamics (many-body dynamics of atoms and molecules).
From the 1st of December, Jim Hinton director at the MPIK
Prof. James A. Hinton has accepted the position as Scientific Member and Director at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik in Heidelberg. His division will focus on the origin and impact of ultra-relativistic cosmic particles – the so-called 'cosmic rays'.
Jim Hinton received his PhD from the University of Leeds in 1998 and worked on several gamma-ray and cosmic experiments as a post-doc and research fellow, based in the UK, the US and including a 4 year spell here at the MPIK (2002-2006). In 2010 he took up a Chair at the University of Leicester. Jim Hinton is an experimental astroparticle physicist whose work has been recognised by the award of four research prizes, most recently the Philip Leverhulme Prize and the Royal Society Wolfson Award.
The new division "Non-thermal Astrophysics" will focus on the origin and impact of ultra-relativistic cosmic particles – the so-called 'cosmic rays'. Working closely together with the division of Werner Hofmann, the initial experimental focus will be on the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) project. The MPIK instrumentation effort will be primarily on high-performance Cherenkov cameras for two of the three telescope types of the gamma-ray observatory, focusing on the medium to high energy (0.1-300 TeV) part of the CTA range. Data from CTA will be combined with that from other observatories, operating at all wavelengths from the radio to gamma-ray, to study cosmic particle acceleration and feedback on scales from clusters of galaxies down to the colliding winds of individual massive stars.

A beautiful and detailed original oil on canvas portrait of White Shield S. Cheyenne American Indian by Joe Ruiz Grandee. This original painting was painted by Joe Grandee in 1970 and bears his signature and mark. It measures 9 x 12. I have had it cleaned and it looks wonderful.
Joe Grandee was born in Dallas Texas in 1929. He is noted for his historically accurate depiction of the Dragoons and Cavalry men of the US Army. He served for one year as the "Official State Artist of Texas".
I do have the frame it came in which is a typical 1970's generic frame. If you would like the frame as well, let me know.

This was our first trip to Hawaii and we were very pleased with our stay here. The grounds are beautiful and immaculate, family friendly and just the right size. The swimmable beach (not easily found!) was a real gem. (It's flanked on both sides by rocks, so it's pretty "private"). Huge Honu (green sea turtles) in these waters every day. A monk seal made her way onto the beach one day for a looong nap. Lots of chaise loungers and chairs available (free) for use. Pool is a little chilly, sauna is very nice. Grassy yard is terriffic for lounging on - no sand in your sandwich! We didn't venture to many other beaches because this one was just perfect, especially if you have kids, or just want to be close to your unit for meals, snacks, naps, etc. The manager (Larry) is friendly and helpful. We read some other critical reviews before our trip that made us hesitant to book here, but those are not true reflections of this property. (Probably had obnoxious children!) There is road noise at night, but I think all the properties along this strech of road are likely the same. (It wasn't terrible). We were in unit B201. The queen bed is ok, the pull out couch bed was fine for kids but not very comfortable for an adult (never met a pull out couch that was!). We saw around five teeny tiny ants in the kitchen one day when food was left on the counter. Otherwise, not a single bug! (Keep your food - all of it - in the fridge). This unit had a boogie board for use, laundry soap, dishwasher soap and two beach towels. Hair drier could be replaced. Plenty of bath and kitchen towels. Extra pillows and blankets. Toaster, coffee maker and supplies, plenty of dishes, untensils, some spices, etc. Large portable fan. We didn't watch TV once, so can't speak for that. Furniture was clean and comfortable. Close to shopping and dining. Safe area - we saw people out jogging early, early in the morning each day.
Perks to staying on a 2nd or higher floor - great views of the ocean for whale watching. Perks of a ground floor unit - walk right out into the yard and beach from your unit (rather than out the front, down stairs and through a locked gate each time). Unit A is further from the pool and faces the ocean more.

A consortium of leading technology companies today announced the creation of the Open Mashup Alliance (http://www.openmashup.org), an organization dedicated to the successful use of Enterprise Mashup technologies and adoption of an open language that promotes Enterprise Mashup interoperability and portability.
The Open Mashup Alliance (OMA) founding members includes leading software vendors, consulting companies, technology service providers and industry leaders that share a common interest in promoting the open, free-to-use Enterprise Mashup Markup Language (EMML) for the development, interoperability and compatibility of Enterprise Mashup offerings. The charter members of the OMA include Adobe, Bank of America, Capgemini, Hinchcliffe & Company, HP, Intel, JackBe, Kapow Technologies, ProgrammableWeb, Synteractive, and Xignite.
The EMML specification will be governed under the Creative Commons License and supported by a free-to-use EMML reference runtime engine. The Open Mashup Alliance will steward and enhance the EMML v1.0 specification for future contribution to a standards body.
"We are very excited to be a founding member of Open Mashup Alliance and to foster mashup interoperability and portability through an open language. EMML was designed specifically to address the needs of Enterprise Mashup developers. We are proud to contribute this industry-proven language to the mashup community," said Deepak Alur, Vice President of Engineering at JackBe and co-author of "Core J2EE Patterns."
Membership in the Open Mashup Alliance is open to all organizations or individuals with an interest in the advancement of EMML and Enterprise Mashup interoperability and compatibility. More information is available on the Open Mashup Alliance website at www.openmashup.org. The EMML specification, along with a supporting runtime reference implementation, documentation, and sample code, is also available on the Alliance website.
Statements from Charter Members:
"Using Adobe's Rich Internet Applications (RIA) technology, enterprise customers are exploring mashups to deliver contextual, task centric workspaces that aggregate information from different backend applications. Together with the founding members of the Open Mashup Alliance, Adobe will continue to encourage the interoperability and compatibility of different mashup platforms to help accelerate adoption in the enterprise," said Kumar Vora, vice president and general manager for LiveCycle at Adobe.
Michael Ogrinz, principal architect at Bank of America and author of the book 'Mashup Patterns' commented, "For enterprise mashups to take hold, we need to remove the 'vendor lock-in' concerns raised by today's proprietary toolsets. We also need to inspire the innovative minds of the open-source community to start working in this space. By establishing an open standard for mashups, the OMA and EMML addresses both of these issues."
"Capgemini clients around the world are achieving excellent results with Enterprise Mashup solutions but know their risk can be reduced and their value can be increased by solutions that are built upon standardized vendor products. We are pleased to be a founding member in this association with these key objectives," said Andy Mulholland, Global CTO at Capgemini and co-author of the book "Mashup Corporations."
"The Open Mashup Alliance offers organizations a proven, standardized model that will help increase mashup adoption in organizations, increase flexibility and choice in agile integration scenarios, and reduce the risk and cost for many kinds of IT projects," said Dion Hinchcliffe, founder of Web 2.0 University and president of Hinchcliffe and Company.
"Enterprises can accelerate return on investment, reduce the risks of mashup efforts and deliver real-time reporting of dynamic information to business users by adopting industry-wide open standards like EMML," said Tim Hall, Director, SOA Center, HP. "HP's collaboration with Open Mashup Alliance members to promote the standard design of mashups will help customers advance their SOA initiatives by allowing them to provide a rich user experience on top of their web services."
"With over 300 global enterprises using Kapow Technologies, the delivery of real-time Web data to mashups is essential for enabling business agility," says Stefan Andreasen, Founder and CTO of Kapow Technologies. "And the efforts of the Open Mashup Alliance are key in creating standards such as EMML to drive the interoperability of mashup offerings and will lead to greater benefits for more organizations."
"At ProgrammableWeb we have tracked the evolution of enterprise mashups and have seen first-hand the challenges posed by lack of compatibility across mashup platforms. By establishing open standards such as EMML, the Open Mashup Alliance is addressing these issues by enabling product interoperability, reducing risk, and ultimately creating new opportunities for enterprises implementing mashups," said John Musser, founder of ProgrammableWeb.
"Dozens of government transparency and openness initiatives are being supported by mashup implementations. The OMA and EMML will give Synteractive's public sector clients better interoperability and portability of these mashup solutions," said Evan Burfield, CEO of Synteractive.
Stephane Dubois, CEO and founder of on-demand market data provider Xignite said, "As a commercial web service pioneer, Xignite has seen our clients speed up their consumption of on-demand data and open APIs as they become easier to consume and mashup into applications. An initiative like the OMA will accelerate this trend and reduce application development complexity and data management costs for enterprises. We are excited to join our efforts with those of other OMA charter members."
The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

Corpse Bride Movie Review
Bride, now the Buzz Aldrin of Burton's stop-motion movies, strains under the effort to duplicate Nightmare's success, but it simply lacks that new-car smell. While still inventive in parts, it's nowhere near as innovative. Burton and collaborator Mike Johnson are content to walk an established path where the superior Nightmare feverishly broke hallowed ground.
The divide that separates the projects runs deeper than that, though. Nightmare, simply put, is a much better movie that benefits from an unusual and imaginative story, captivating characters blessed with depth, and a memorable soundtrack showcasing Danny Elfman's macabre sense of humor.
Bride takes us on a safe trip back to Burton's familiar animated universe populated by bulbous, bell-shaped bodies propped on brittle twigs for legs. In this drab corner of the globe, Victor Van Dort (Johnny Depp) awaits details on his arranged marriage to Victoria Everglot (Emily Watson), a symbolic gesture that stands to benefit both families financially. Though he connects with his bride-to-be, Victor can't master his vows. His temporary uncertainty plunges our tormented hero into a foreboding forest where he accidentally proposes to a skeleton and unleashes the spirit of the dormant Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter).
Though Burton adopts the same visual theme, his animation techniques have improved. Character movements are fluid, and the color scheme ironically bursts to life when Victor follows his new bride back to the land of the dead. The animation's icy blues harken back to Burton's Batman efforts, particularly the Penguin's lair from Batman Returns. The film pays tribute to its predecessors, stenciling "Harryhausen" on the side of a piano and crafting Peter Lorre's likeness on a worm that lives in the Bride's skull. The story holds Grimm inspirations, and the dark humor hints at best of Nightmare without ever approaching its level of uniqueness.
We keep thinking, hoping, and praying that Bride will aim higher, but it never happens. The humor, from start to finish, overdoses on groan-worthy puns. Only two scenes stand out for their energetic choreography and imaginative conjuring, and both involve Burton's creatures from beyond the grave. Between these all-too-brief excursions, three screenwriters - John August, Pamela Pettler and Caroline Thompson - stumble through a routine marital-miscommunication storyline that, without clay, could serve as a cliché fest for the likes of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. Runaway Corpse Bride, anyone?
Aka Tim Burton's Corpse Bride.

All those ideas seemed so clear in my head, but once I start writing the novel, I actually have to get them down in a creative and captivating Continue Reading

I created a playlist for each couple of years of my life that the memoir would be including Continue Reading

Tel Aviv may have stepped closer to being the Manhattan of the Middle East in
February, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit, as it edged ever closer
to being as expensive as the Big Apple itself.According to the EIU's
biannual Worldwide Cost of Living Report, Tel Aviv is the 34th most expensive
city in the world, only seven spots shy of New York, ranked 27th, and well ahead
of other major international cities such as Chicago (38), Berlin (40),
Washington (47) and San Francisco (64). Tokyo took the top spot, as it has
several times since 1992.The survey is intended to help employers in
multinational companies calculate cost of living expenses as they transfer
workers from one city to another. In that regard, its costs put Tel Aviv at a
business disadvantage when compared to cities ranked lower on the
list.The survey compared more than 400 individual prices across 160
products and services, including food, drink, clothing, housing costs,
transportation, utilities and recreation.In dollar terms, the survey
showed an increase in the price of bread, but reductions in the costs of rice,
milk, wine, cigarettes and gasoline. If that does not seem to accurately reflect
the inflation felt by everyday Israelis, there's a good reason.For one,
the prices are converted to dollars, which means that the list also takes into
account fluctuations in currency. The strong shekel would, therefore, boost up
dollar-denominated prices.For another, the items are weighted uniformly
across the board, so they do not take into account the different spending habits
of particular countries. While that may accurately reflect the needs of workers
being shipped from one international branch of a company to another, it does not
necessarily reflect the consumption habits of the native
population.Outside Tel Aviv, the survey noted a rise in Asian and
Australian cities to levels once occupied mostly by European ones."Ten
years ago, there were no Australian cities among the 50 most expensive cities,"
the survey noted."The current survey sees Australian cities reach the
highest-ranked position yet, with Sydney rated the third most expensive city
surveyed and Melbourne ranked in fifth place."The changing composition
of the top cities reflect increased globalization."Asian cities make up
11 of the world's 20 most expensive compared with eight from Europe. A decade
ago this was six Asian vs ten European cities, with four cities from the USA.
The current ranking still fails to include any cities from North America among
the 20 most expensive, despite widespread decline in the cost of living relative
to US cities," the survey said.The cheapest cities, on the other hand,
tended to be in the India subcontinent and among developing
nations."Outside India, bargain hunters may be put off by the security
risk in many of the countries in which the world's cheapest cities are
found.Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Algeria and Iran all
feature in the bottom ten, but have had well documented security issues or
domestic unrest," the report said.Tehran came in at 122nd place out of
133, at 58 percent the cost of living in New York.

Muzzy in Gondoland (often shortened to simply Muzzy) is an animated film first created by the BBC in 1986 as a way of teaching English as a second language. Sometime afterwards, Early Advantage acquired the rights to Muzzy and translated it into Spanish, French, German, and Italian in order to teach these languages as seconds. The English version of Muzzy features the voices of Willie Rushton, Miriam Margolyes, Susan Sheridan, Derek Griffiths, Jack May and Benjamin Whitrow. It is unknown, however, who plays whom in the various dubbed versions of the film.
A sequel, Muzzy Comes Back was released in 1989. Click here to watch the commercial that I know you will recognize »

Funny Color Foam
The product, first introduced in 1983 by the Cac Industries, Inc. company, is a compressed foam not unlike shaving cream for bathtime. It comes in 6 colors (pink, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple), each with a different animal on the can. Recent variations have lost the animals in favor of cartoon kids on the can, however. In fact, the can designs have changed several times over the years, as has the formula slightly. But, fear not, anyone who remembers the Funny Color Foam in the '80s won't know the difference in the change of formula in today's.

Handi-Snacks are a snack food product line sold by Kraft Foods. The common two-compartment Handi-Snack has a small spread compartment and a larger compartment for cracker; a red plastic spreader is included with crackers.
Handi-Snacks were released by Nabisco in the mid 1980s and started with a cheese and cracker combination. These products were intended for consumption by grade-school students with their lunches. Nabisco tried peanut butter Handi-Snacks with crackers but later discontinued that product. With the acquisition of Nabisco by Philip Morris (now Altria Group), the products are now sold under the Kraft brand. Click here to watch a commercial from 1996 »

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California's novel law seeking to ban licensed counselors from trying to turn gay teens straight is boiling down to a question over whether the therapy is free speech or a medical treatment that can be regulated by government.
It's the "pivot point" of the legal debate, Judge Morgan Christen of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Wednesday.
Morgan and two other judges on the nation's largest federal appellate court considered 90 minutes of legal arguments over the ban on "sexual-orientation change" counseling of minors, which other states are considering.
The three-judge panel is considering two challenges to the law approved in California last fall. It took no action Wednesday and will issue a written ruling later.
The law was to go into effect Jan. 1, but the court put it on hold pending its decision.
Chief Judge Alex Kozinski noted the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a California ban of violent video games because the state failed to show a compelling reason to infringe on game-makers free speech rights to manufacture the products.
He said it appeared the same argument could be applied to the evidence lawmakers relied on in passing the prohibition on sexual-orientation change therapy.
"We really don't have anything compelling, as I see it," Kozinski said. "Government has to have a compelling interest in curtailing speech."
California Deputy Attorney General Alexandra Robert Gordon, who is defending the ban, cited mainstream medical organizations' support of the law, and testimony before the state Legislature by several people who said they were harmed by the counseling.
Kozinski replied that opponents of the law also testified before lawmakers that they benefited from the counseling.
"There is evidence going both ways," Kozinski concluded.
Lawyers for parents of children who are undergoing the counseling and licensed professionals who administer the "talk therapy" argued the ban goes too far. But Mathew Staver, founder of the Liberty Counsel and a lawyer opposing the law, said there is "no evidence of harm."
The law says therapists and counselors who treat minors with methods designed to eliminate or reduce their same-sex attractions would be engaging in unprofessional conduct and subject to discipline by state licensing boards. The activities of pastors and lay counselors who are unlicensed but provide such therapy through church programs would not be covered.
The cases before the appeals court was brought by professionals who practice sexual-orientation change therapy, two families who say their teenage sons benefited from it, and a national association of Christian mental health counselors. They argue the ban infringes on their free speech and freedom of association and religious rights. The counselors also argue it jeopardizes their livelihoods.

Average rents dropped compared to this time last year, decreasing 3.6% from $3,905 in October 2013 to $3,763 in October 2014.
A Quick Look
Rent prices in Manhattan increased by approximately 0.21% from $3,755 in September 2014 to $3,763 in October 2014. Rent Prices decreased 3.6% from
$3,905 to $3,763 compared to October 2013. Listing inventory decreased 8% compared to September 2014 from 8,642 units to 7,976 units. The ratio of
Non-Doorman units to Doorman units in all of Manhattan changed from 47.3% (NDM) and 52.7% (DM) in September 2014 to 44.7% (NDM) and 55.3%
(DM) in October 2014.
The market appears to have picked up slightly compared to September 2014. The largest percentage increases in rent prices (among material sample sizes) were seen in Two Bedroom Doorman units in Gramercy and Two Bedroom Non-Doorman units in Greenwich Village. The largest percentage decreases were seen in Studio Non-Doorman units in Midtown East and One Bedroom Doorman units in SoHo. It should be noted that the sample set for TriBeCa Studio Non-Doorman, TriBeCa One Bedroom Non-Doorman, SoHo Studio Doorman, and SoHo Two Bedroom Doorman units were each less than 8 units, a relatively low sample size.
The largest annual shift in rent prices were seen in the Lower East Side and Midtown East. Rents increased 4.1% in the Lower East Side compared to October 2013 from $3,343 to $3,479. Rents decreased by 9.4% in Midtown East from $3,765 to $3,410.
The largest rate of increase in listing inventory was in Chelsea where 40 new units came to the market, a 7.2% increase in inventory from last month. The greatest rate of decrease in listing inventory was in the East Village where 113 units came off the market, an 18.6% decrease from last month.

Year-Over-Year Changes
|October '13
|October '14
|One Bedroom
|Two Bedroom
|October '13
|October '14
• Overall average monthly and yearly rents experienced minimal increases at 0.2% and 0.5% respectively.
• All Non-Doorman unit types fell by at least 4.0% leading to an overall monthly decrease of 1.5%.
• Despite the notable 6.3% increase in Studio Doorman units monthly overall average rents increased by only 0.7%. at a 0.01% decrease.
• As unit types all increased and decreased by similar amounts this neighborhood saw virtually no change in yearly overall average rents at a 0.2% decrease.
• Triggered by a significant 17.3% increase in Two Bedroom Doorman units this neighborhood accounted for the greatest increase (among material sample sizes) in overall average rents in Manhattan this month at 3.7%. The increase was due to several brand new high-end units at 160 East 22nd Street entering the market.
• In general, this neighborhood experienced a downward trend among unit types resulting in a 1.0% decrease in monthly overall rents.
• All unit types, with the exception of Two Bedroom Doorman units, increased by at least 2.5% spurring a 3.0% increase in both monthly and yearly overall average rent prices.
• While monthly prices remained relatively stable by rising only 0.3%, yearly average rents increased by 4.1%.
• With Studio Non-Doorman units falling by 20.6%, the greatest among unit types, this neighborhood accounts for the greatest monthly decrease in Manhattan at 6.2%. This is the result of several higher priced units at 305 East 44th Street no longer a part of the sample set.
• Overall monthly average rent prices decreased a negligible 0.1% with no significant trend among unit types.
• This neighborhood saw a significant yearly drop in overall rents at 9.2% as all unit types, with the exception of Two Bedroom Doorman units, decreased in price.
• Drastic unit type fluctuations resulted in a 9.2% yearly decrease in prices, however it should be noted that the Studio Doorman and Two Bedroom Doorman sample size is comprised of only 2 units and 7 units respectively.
• Although nearly all unit types increased by at least 1.0%, the lack of a material sample size for Studio and One Bedroom Non- Doorman units renders a misleading overall monthly average increase of 4.4%.
• Led by a 6.6% decrease in Studio Non-Doorman units, overall monthly average rents fell by 1.1%.
• This neighborhood remained stable this month increasing by a steady 1.6%.
The Report Explained
The The Manhattan Rental Market Report™ compares fluctuation in the city's rental data on a monthly basis. It is an essential tool for potential renters seeking transparency in the NYC apartment market and a benchmark for landlords to efficiently and fairly adjust individual property rents in Manhattan.
The Manhattan Rental Market Report™ is based on data cross-sectioned from over 10,000 currently available listings located below 155th Street and priced under $10,000, with ultra-luxury property omitted to obtain a true monthly rental average. Our data is aggregated from the MNS proprietary database and sampled from a specific mid-month point to record current rental rates offered by landlords during that particular month. It is then combined with information from the REBNY Real Estate Listings Source (RLS), OnLine Residential (OLR. com) and R.O.L.E.X. (Real Plus).
