Often-neglected sidewalks get priority in some towns
Manchester Highway Dept sidewalk plow clears snow at City Hall during a storm in this undated file photo. (UNION LEADER FILE)
Stanley Rogowicz, of Manchester, prepares for the weekend's upcoming snow by filling a container with sand from the public stockpile at the Manchester Public Works garages Saturday afternoon. There was no activity early Saturday afternoon among the city plows but with the overnight arrival of the latest storm plow crews were expected to have an active Sunday. (Bruce Taylor/Union Leader)
"We have around 11 miles of sidewalk in Milford," said Rick Riendeau, head of the Milford Department of Public Works. "People will speak out when sidewalks are not maintained in the wintertime, especially sidewalks to the schools. We have to be on top of this. If not, people walk in the road, and that's a safety issue."
To clear snow off the sidewalks in Milford, DPW employees use snow blowers, leaf blowers and, of course, good old-fashion shovels. The town also has two sidewalk tractor plows, which cost about $120,000 each and are designed to accommodate the town's unusual four-foot wide sidewalks, said Riendeau. The standard width for a sidewalk is five feet, he said, and finding machinery that will fit the smaller dimensions is tricky.
"Another issue with our sidewalks is that they are right against the curb and roadway," said Riendeau. "This is difficult to maintain in the winter because there is no room to store snow between the road and sidewalk."
Mountains of snow build up in the Oval during a big storm. It has to be hauled away to the town's snow dump pit when the immediate rush for clearing roads abates.
"Keeping the sidewalks open and clear is a very important part of our winter operations," said Manchester Public Works Director Kevin Sheppard. "The difficult part is that it does not make sense to begin clearing sidewalks until the roads have been completed, for the street plows are pushing the snow into the sidewalk area. Knowing this, it can take us up to a week to open all city sidewalks upon the completion of some storms."
Manchester uses a variety of methods for clearing its sidewalks depending on the depth and type of snow. From snow blowers made specifically for sidewalks to "V" plows, the priority begins with the school walking routes and the downtown areas.
"We budget close to $1.2 million per year for winter operations," said Sheppard. "This number is all inclusive of all operations, which includes sidewalk clearing."
Prioritizing sidewalk clearing is difficult but necessary, said Dean Shankle, town administrator for Hooksett.
"In some areas of town, it is considered a very high priority; less so in other areas," he said.
Shankle estimates that it costs about $300 to clear the town's sidewalks after a storm, or 16 hours in wages for one person using the town's sidewalk plow - an expensive piece of equipment that only has a few year's left in it, Shankle said.
In Amherst, sidewalk maintenance around the village is done with an $80,000 "trackless" machine that's a combination plow-sander-snow blower, said DPW director Bruce Berry. The machine was purchased in 2001, he said, and turned a labor-intensive task done previously with a snow blower into a job that takes about an hour and a half after each storm.
Berry said sidewalk maintenance is important in the village because there are two elementary schools in town, as well as a private kindergarten, Moulton's Market and the public library, but the condition of sidewalks in the village isn't good.
"The biggest challenge I have is sidewalk condition. This time of year, we treat, the sun warms and thaws ice, sand then falls to the bottom of the puddle and it refreezes," said Berry.
The sidewalk condition takes its toll on the trackless machine, said Berry, which is due to be replaced. But operating on a default budget has prevented the town from investing in new equipment, so for the time being, he said, the department will have to make-do.

Intellectual property and intellect
July 7, 2002
Arun Jathmalani
Recently I read a statement by an FII analyst, criticising Indian IT firms as being little more than labour exporters. His opinion was that unless they develop their own intellectual property or IP (read products) the future was bleak. Many voice similar opinions about IT-enabled services, calling them sweatshops with no competitive advantage except low cost. In fact, someone even told me that call centres were destroying our culture as young people were being encouraged to speak in American accents.

An adjustment nut for a cam operated quick-release axle having a mechanism to stop the adjustment nut at a predetermined position. In the preferred embodiment, the adjustment nut 20 has a set-screw 21. On initial installation, the closing force of the cam lever is tested and adjusted by rotating the adjustment nut 20 until proper force is obtained, as with existing instructions for cam operated quick-release fasteners. At this point, the set-screw 21 is tightened against the end of the skewer. Wheel removal is performed by opening the cam and loosening the adjustment nut 20 for adequate clearance of the safety tabs 33. These operations are reversed for wheel installation. Unlike existing quick-release fasteners, readjustment of the cam clamping force is not needed, since it is fixed with the set-screw 21. The set-screw 21 is coated with a material to create additional friction to prevent it's loosening through subsequent operations.
1. A method of adjusting a quick-release axle fastener comprising:
a hollow axle;
a control rod having a first end with a lever-operated cam, and a second end with external threads;
the control rod passing through the hollow axle;
an adjustment nut having an inner end, an outer end, and internal threads between the inner and outer ends of the adjustment nut;
the internal threads of the adjustment nut threaded onto the external threads of the control rod;
the adjustment nut having an exterior surface with a finger grip portion;
adjustable stopping means for stopping the adjustment nut at a predetermined depth of threading on the control rod;
the method comprising the steps of;
a) inserting the axle between two drop-outs;
b) adjusting the stopping means to an estimated position;
c) tightening the adjustment nut on the control rod until it stops against the stopping means;
d) operating the cam and observing the force required to close the cam;
e) adjusting the stopping means;
f) repeating from step d) until a predetermined cam closing force is achieved.
2. A quick-release axle fastener comprising:
a control rod having a first end with a lever-operated cam, and a second end with external threads;
an adjustment nut having an inner end, an outer end, and internal threads between the inner and outer ends of the adjustment nut;
the internal threads threaded onto the external threads of the control rod;
the adjustment nut having an exterior surface with a finger grip portion;
a stop nut with internal threads threaded onto the second end of the control rod; and
the inner end of the adjustment nut having a chamber for receiving the stop nut, the chamber being larger than the stop nut in each respective dimension;
whereby the inner end of the adjustment nut is threaded onto the second end of the control rod to a predetermined depth stopped by contact of the adjustment nut against the stop nut.
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/088,100, filed Jun. 5, 1998.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention is in the field of quick-release bicycle axle fasteners.
2. Description of Prior Art
Cam-operated quick-release axle fasteners for bicycles have been available for years, but the original designs have inherent disadvantages. If the cam is accidentally left open or is knocked open during riding, or if the cam force adjustment is too loose, the wheel can fall off the bicycle during riding. To overcome this, fork makers designed �safety� drop-outs with outer surfaces having depressions, holes, or tabs which engage a complementary portion of the fastener. This retains the axle despite a loose cam. However, these devices reduced the convenience of quick-release fasteners, and introduced another safety problem. With �safety� drop-outs, opening the cam is not enough to release the axle. The user must also loosen an adjustment nut to clear the safety retention surface. To reinstall the axle, the user must re-tighten the adjustment nut to eliminate this clearance. This requires re-adjusting the cam tension on each use. Many users are not competent to perform this adjustment, resulting in a cam that is either dangerously loose or tight in the closed position.
Below are examples of prior efforts to improve the safety of quick-release axle fasteners. None of them provides an adjustment nut with a stopping point adjustment that stops the adjustment nut at the predetermined position to provide correct clamping tension on each use, as with the present invention.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,400,038 (Hosokawa) has a safety mechanism which prevents axle release until the cam lever is fully rotated. U.S. Pat. No. 4, 964,287 (Gaul) uses a cam with a removable lever or key for security. U.S. Pat. No. 4,805,941 (Segawa, FIGS. 4,5) offers a spring loaded safety interlock 5. U.S. Pat. No. 4,805,941 (Downing) has a safety hook for holding the axle in the dropout.
Objectives: The objective of this invention is to simplify the user's adjustment method to adjust the nut for proper clamping tension, having the following advantages:
1. Fast and precise adjustment nut positioning.
2. No adjustments needed after initial set-up.
3. Correct clamping tension every time with no trial and error.
Summary: These objectives are met in the present invention. The adjustment nut of a cam/lever quick-release bicycle axle fastener has means to stop the nut in the proper position to achieve proper clamping tension. To achieve proper clamping tension a set-screw 21 or stop nut 40 is used to stop the quick-release adjustment nut in the correct position. This adjustable set screw or stop nut can be pre-set to stop the quick-release nut in the correct position so that proper clamping tension is achieved repeatedly.
This device is safer than current quick-release adjustment nuts. It needs no adjustment after assembly, while current designs require readjustment each time a wheel is re-installed.

Cam: A mechanical component with a pivot axis, having a working surface that is eccentric or varying in radial distance from said axis.
Cam lever: An operating lever attached to a cam.
Drop-out: A plate with an open-ended slot for receiving a wheel axle mounted therein.
Safety drop-out: A drop-out having a coupling surface, such as a protrusion, depression, or hole, that engages a complementary portion of an axle fastener to retain the axle in the slot if the primary fastener mechanism is loose or disengaged.
Velocipede: A human-powered wheeled vehicle.
Referring to FIG. 1, a control rod or skewer 12 passes through a hollow axle 13. Attached to one end of the skewer is a standard cam/lever quick-release fastener (at left in drawing). Attached to the other end of the skewer is an adjustment nut 20. In the outer end of the adjustment nut 20, is a set-screw 21 that stops the inward threaded movement of the adjustment nut by contacting the end of the skewer.
For initial adjustment, the set-screw 21 is unscrewed to its maximum distal position. The adjustment nut 20 is then positioned according to conventional instructions for quick-release fasteners. This comprises a trial-and-error repetition of closing the cam lever, feeling the force required on the lever, opening the cam lever, tightening or loosening the adjustment nut an estimated amount, and repeating these steps until the cam lever closing force is correct. The correct force is often determined by feel, based on the experience of the person performing the adjustment. However, with this invention the adjustment is only done once, so a bicycle assembler or bike shop can perform it with a torque meter or other objective gauge. When correct cam force is achieved, the set-screw 21 is tightened against the end of the skewer. The set-screw holds its position in the adjustment nut as a set point or stopping point for the adjustment nut. The set-screw 21 should be coated with a material that partially locks its threaded position in the adjustment nut via increased friction to prevent it loosening. No further cam adjustment is needed in subsequent operations of the quick-release for removing and re-attaching the wheel.
The bicycle wheel is removed by opening the cam/lever and loosening the adjustment nut 20 for adequate clearance of the safety tabs. These operations are reversed for wheel installation. Unlike existing quick-release fasteners, readjustment of clamping force is not needed, since it is fixed with the set-screw 21.
A second embodiment, shown in FIG. 6 provides similar advantages. Set-nut 40 is threaded on the skewer 12 and held via a nylon insert 42 or other thread locking means. Adjustment nut 39 is then threaded onto the skewer until it stops against the set-nut 40. The closing force of the cam lever is tested, and is adjusted by rotating the set-nut until proper force is obtained, per existing instructions for current cam/lever quick-release fasteners. Wheel removal is performed by opening the cam/lever, and loosening the adjustment nut 39 for adequate clearance of the safety tabs. These operations are reversed for wheel installation. Unlike existing quick-release fasteners, readjustment of clamping force is not needed, since it is fixed with the set-nut 40. The set-nut chamber 25 is cylindrical, not hexagonal. It does not turn the set-nut. To adjust the set-nut 40, a tool may be used on flats of set-nut 41.
The preferred embodiment is as shown and described in FIGS. 1-5. Both embodiments provide means to establish a stopping point for the adjustment nut that stops the nut at a predetermined setting.
The steps below apply to both embodiments.
Wheel Removal (FIG. 2):
1. Rotate the cam lever to the released position.
2. Loosen adjustment nut 20 to provide adequate clearance of the safety tabs.
Wheel Installation (FIG. 2 with the action arrows reversed):
1. With cam lever released, slide axle 13, into drop-outs 31.
2. Tighten adjustment nut 20, until it stops.
3. Rotate the cam lever to the locked position.
Although the present invention has been described herein with respect to preferred embodiments, it will be understood that the foregoing description is intended to be illustrative, not restrictive. Modifications of the present invention will occur to those skilled in the art. All such modifications that fall within the scope of the appended claims are intended to be within the scope and spirit of the present invention. Although the invention is shown and described with respect to a bicycle, it can be used with other velocipedes, and in any application of mounting a hollow axle between two mounting plates with open-ended slots using a cam operated quick-release fastener.

Airing on November 19th, the episode is set to center on Coulson's team facing the repercussions of the events of Thor: The Dark World which comes out this Friday. Unfortunately, Thor and Loki will not appear in the episode. Fangirls everywhere sigh in frustration.
Amy Acker is regular name thrown around the Whedonverse. The actress has appeared in several Whedon projects including The Cabin in The Woods, Dollhouse, Angel and most recently, opposite SHIELD's own Clark Gregg in Much Ado About Nothing. Whedon fans rejoice, for Amy is set to join the cast of Marvel's Agnets of SHIELD for at least one episode as Agent Coulson's unrequited love, a cellist from Portland.
The character was briefly mentioned in The Avengers and was brought up when Coulson was strolling through Tahiti laden memories earlier this season. The cellist thinks he's dead, but he'll have to protect her from afar when a super-powered threat emerges.

Thursday at the Olympics
Men's Soccer: Promise Isaac and Victor Obinna scored to lead Nigeria over a short-handed United States team 2-1, earning a place in the quarterfinals and eliminating the Americans. The United States played a man short from the third minute when defender Michael Orozco was ejected for swinging his elbow into Solomon Okoronkwo's chest while the players wrestled for the ball. Also advancing to the quarterfinals were the Netherlands, Cameroon, Belgium and Ivory Coast.
Boxing: Zou Shiming became a national hero for winning China's first boxing medal with a bronze in Athens in 2004. The Chinese light flyweight began his effort for China's first boxing gold medal in style with an 11-2 victory over Eduard Bermudez of Venezuela. American Deontay Wilder won his first-round match in heavyweight boxing competition with a 10-4 decision over Abdeoaziz Touiobini of Algeria. Tied after three rounds, Wilder outpointed his opponent 6-0 in the fourth and final round. He next fights Mohammed Arjaoui of Morocco. And light flyweight Luis Yanez won his opening bout with a 12-9 win over Jose Kelvin de la Nieve of Spain. His next opponent is Serdamba Purevdorj of Mongolia.
Tennis: Roger Federer, who wept after losing to Thomas Berdych of the Czech Republic four years ago in Athens, avenged the loss with a 6-3, 7-6 (4) victory to reach the quarterfinals. It was Federer's biggest victory since he lost to Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon last month, and the two could meet in the Olympics final Sunday after Nadal beat Igor Andreev of Russia, 6-4, 6-2. Federer will next face No. 8 James Blake, who advanced by beating No. 10 Gilles Simon of France 6-4, 6-2. Blake, the lone American to survive the first round of men's singles, is 0-8 against Federer and has won only one of their 22 sets. Venus Williams, playing her first tournament since winning Wimbledon for the fifth time, also reached the final eight by defeating No. 12 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus 6-3, 6-2.
Diving: The Chinese made it 4-for-4 when Wang Feng and Qin Kai won the 3-meter springboard. The Americans are in danger of a second straight medal shutout after Chris Colwill and Jevon Tarantino finished fourth. The pair was in third headed into the final round, but Tarantino botched his entry.
Cycling: Kristin Armstrong became the second American female cyclist to win an Olympic gold, beating Britain's Emma Pooley in the road time trial. Armstrong joined only Connie Carpenter-Phinney, who won the road race at Los Angeles 24 years ago, as U.S. women's cycling gold medalists. Levi Leipheimer won the bronze in the men's time trial to move USA Cycling within one medal of tying its haul from the 2004 Athens Olympics.
Softball: Cat Osterman pitched a no-hitter as the U.S. team extended its Olympic winning streak to 16 straight with a 3-0 win over Australia. Osterman outdueled Australia's Tanya Harding, who has handed the U.S. program two of its four losses in the games since 1996. She struck out 13, walked just two and dominated the Aussies in a rematch of the gold-medal game from 2004 in Athens. The Americans, seeking their fourth straight gold, posted their 14th shutout during the winning streak.
Rowing: Rowing finalists were decided in five categories Wednesday. In women's single sculls, American Michelle Guerette advanced to Saturday's final, while American twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss placed second in their semifinal to move on to the men's pairs final. The U.S. team of David Banks, Paul Teti, Giuseppe Lanzone and Brett Newlin finished fifth in the other semi and missed qualifying for the men's four final.
Sailing: Ben Ainslie of Britain gained a 6-point overall lead on American challenger Zach Railey in the Finn class. American favorite Anna Tunnicliffe stayed at the top of the Laser Radial class after six races, with a sixth-place finish, while teammate Andrew Campbell took his first win in the men's Laser class, and the U.S. boat beat Britain in the three-woman Yngling class.
Wrestling: Eighteen-year-old Jake Deitchler, the youngest U.S. Olympic wrestler in 32 years, dropped his opening-round match, then lost again in the repechage round of the Greco-Roman 66-kilogram competition to exit the Olympics with an 0-2 record. The United States, last year's world Greco champion, hasn't gotten a medal yet in two days in Beijing with three wrestlers to go Thursday. Manuchar Kvirkelia gave Georgia its first Olympic wrestling gold medal by winning the Greco-Roman 74-kilogram weight class, and Steeve Guenot won France's first gold medal in 84 years by taking the Greco-Roman 66-kilogram weight.
Judo: Ronda Rousey won the bronze in women's 70-kilogram judo, the first medal for the U.S. since the event made the official Olympic roster in 1992. U.S. women won silver and bronze when judo was a demonstration sport in 1988. Irakli Tsirekidze of Georgia won the gold medal in men's 90-kilogram judo, and Masae Ueno of Japan won the women's 70-kilogram judo.
Water Polo: The U.S. played to a 9-9 tie with Italy after Elisa Casanova scored a power-play goal with 22 seconds left for the Italians. American Kami Craig got a final shot at victory with 2 seconds to play, but it came up short of the goal.
Table Tennis: The Chinese dominated the openings of Olympic team table tennis matches, as the women's squad beat Croatia 3-0 in the best-of-five format made up of four singles and a doubles. The Chinese men trailed several times before finally beating Greece in front of an excited crowd. The U.S. women's team, ranked No. 9 in the Olympic tournament, was unable to keep up with No. 2 Singapore but later beat the Netherlands.
Shooting: Chen Ying won the gold in the women's 25-meter pistol to give China its sixth shooting medal. Chen was third entering the finals, trailing by five points, but outshot silver medalist Gundegmaa Otryad of Mongolia by 6.2 points for the win.
Archery: Lee Chang-hwan of South Korea set an Olympic record in his second-round archery win, scoring 117 of a possible 120 points to beat Yusuf Goktug Ergin of Turkey and advance to the third round. American Vic Wunderle also moved on, beating Italy's Ilario Di Buo' in a shoot-off.
Badminton: Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng beat the American duo of Bob Malaythong and Howard Bach in the quarterfinals of the badminton tournament. The Chinese pair raced out to an 8-1 lead in the first game and never looked back on their way to a 21-9, 21-10 win over the unseeded Americans.
Women's Volleyball: The U.S. women's volleyball team scored a 3-1 victory over Venezuela to improve to 2-1 in preliminary pool play. The team played with "Wiz" written on their arms and shoulders in marker in honor of 2004 teammate Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman McCutcheon. Her father was killed and her mother seriously injured in a stabbing attack last week in Beijing.
Weightlifting: Liu Chunhong broke three world records in the women's 69-kilogram division, defending her Olympic title to win China's sixth gold medal in the weightlifting competition. Sa Jae-hyouk of South Korea won the men's 77-kg division, finally stopping China, which had won all six of the previous weight categories in which it had participated. Hungarian strongman Janos Baranyai's first Olympics ended in agony when he dislocated his right elbow during the competition.
Beach volleyball: Americans Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers advanced to the beach volleyball medal round with a straight-sets victory over Argentina. The reigning world champions and heavily favored U.S. team never trailed in the match, winning 21-12, 21-13 in just 39 minutes. The Americans, who lost in their Olympic debut to No. 23 seed Latvia, improved to 2-1 in pool play.
Fencing: Benjamin Kleibrink of Germany won the gold medal in men's foil fencing with a convincing 15-9 victory over Japan's Yuki Ota.
Canoe: In men's canoe double, brothers Peter and Pavol Hochschorner of Slovakia had the best combined time after two heats. In the women's kayaking singles event, defending Olympic champion Elena Kaliska of Slovakia produced the best combined time. American Heather Corrie advanced to the semifinal round.
Handball: Ramona Maier scored 11 goals to lead Romania to a 34-26 victory over France in a matchup of unbeaten squads in women's handball. Norway defeated Kazakhstan 35-19 in the highest point total of the tournament.
Field Hockey: Eli Matheson scored three goals to lead Australia over South Africa 10-0 in field hockey. In other games, Pakistan beat Canada 3-1, Germany and Belgium tied at 1, South Korea beat China 5-2, Spain beat New Zealand 1-0, and the Netherlands edged Britain 1-0.
Equestrian: Heike Kemmer scored 72.250 percent on Bonaparte to give Germany a commanding lead in grand prix dressage, while the Dutch and American teams appeared locked in a battle for the silver. The last time Germany failed to win team gold in dressage was in 1980, when the country joined the Moscow Olympics boycott.

We'll just use the se++ vent like chumps vtx14.defconservers.com 3860 fortytwo
There is no magic code anymore so you just have to wait in lineIs there anything I should know before I play this?
Tiamat: The extra AOE damage really doesn't amount to anything in a teamfight. Additionally the +15 Health Regen and +4 Mana Regen really aren't that great compared to what you could buy. For the 2070 gold you spend on it you can buy a BF Sword (+50 Damage, and it builds into cool stuff) and it would be way more effective.
Berzerker Greaves: There are better attack speed items, and since the movement speed on boots does not stack you only grab one boots item it is strongly recommend you get Mercury's Treads. They are are a little more pricey, but are considered the best boots in the game because being stunned for 1.2 seconds instead of 2 seconds means the world.
I wish they had kept it subtle for a little longer
"heh he's a really strong champ but he isn't real"
neat joke
maybe I'm just a curmudgeon
now I don't want to be "that guy"
but the whole "oh the two male ninjas are doctors but the female character is a sexy nurse" thing sorta got my goat
I guess Riot knows where the money is, though

Swimming pool Nice facilities Great staff
Price of the rooms changes from one day to other Wifi not accesible from the room
Cheap, close to town, wifi was pretty fast.
Wifi only available in general areas.
Good friendly staff, clean and comfortable.
No hot water in the toilet hand basins, no shave for three days, very annoying!!! Bar staff turning up the music way to loud, they need to understand it's all about the customers and not about them.
Cleanliness of the room
I thought it was unfair that I was charged for breakfast when my flight left before breakfast was served. I asked for a refund but the staff was unable to address my issue because I had to leave to catch my flight.
Staff were quite pleasant Rooms were serviced daily and were quite clean
No balcony as advertised No microwave as advertised No chair to sit as advertised bed configuration was different advertised (only one bed in Superior queen room) No hot water. I had cold showers for a week Charged 5% on all credit cards not just American Express as stated on website Room was right above the bar area which was noisy some nights
the pool
Shower had mould; no blanket on the bed, only a sheet; When we arrived they didn't have our booking details; we had to wait 90 mins to get our rooms; wouldn't let me speak to a manager;
The manager, Simon, is a very attentive person and will go out of his way to make you comfortable. The fire dancing every Saturday night is terrific and the bartender James gets the job done.
The wine list needs improving.
very friendly staff
It was good and value of money
I was there for one night and luckily it was reggae night (Saturday) - the band was amazing and I think they're the regular Saturday night band.
Great staff, food was excellent
Shared shower and toilet
front desk fiasco booking in.
There was a prompt response from staff with any difficulties we encountered, be it connecting to WiFi or arranging transport.
No doubt there are those who would find fault but when it compares with anything else Port Vila has to offer in that price range I would challenge you to find better value for money
nice location, good food, friendly staff
the staff need training in booking/billing. If you arrive after 5 pm when Laura is not left to fix your bill you are in trouble. As well as the airport pick up was completely messed up. DON'T fix your airport pick up with them, better just take a taxi or a bus- it is completely safe.
The pool was clean and pool area relaxing. The restaurant staff were lovely. The fire show was brilliant.
They required a deposit during the stay which was not mentioned prior to arrival. I was told that it would be frozen & released the next day. It still has not been released. I spoke to my bank, who said the hotel can't release it any quicker than 10 days. If this was mentioned earlier I could have paid cash.
Was willing to share shower and bathroom for promise of free wifi, but wifi did not work 90% of the time. For the same money I could have stayed somewhere else and had my own bathroom.
Rooms were clean and good value for money. My son so enjoyed the pool which had a large area for young children. Meals were good and well priced. We will stay again, when in Port Vila
Nothing, all good
Staff were great and as helpful as they could be while working for owners that don't seem prepared to spend much money on resolving a lot of the motels problems which are the source of complaints.
Generally pretty tired and shabby hotel. Hot water is intermitment in rooms and shower head spewing water evrywhere. Linen old and stained, scratchy towels and stained sheets. Not enough space in the room to unpack clothes or stow suitcases - this is in a Superior Orchid Room. Window curtain coming into shower cubicle moldy and stained.
Friendly Staff
Rooms are old and dated in Apartment Block , 1st room had broken shower , had to move to another , didn't feel this part of the Resort was worth the money paid , the Bigger Rooms closer to the road are in much better condition
The very friendly staff who see med to be genuine and were always ready to assist. The Palms is out of town but that has its advantages of being away from Port Vila's near perpetual traffic jam of mini buses and the swarms of day trippers on Cruise Days. There's cheap transport downtown any time you want it. One can go budget, i.e. rooms without air con or step up to reasonable rooms with air con and basic cooking facilities.
Not a lot to complain about. The menu became a bit tedious after 14 days but that is not a biggie.

His strike on 54 minutes stunned Warren Feeney's side and gave the Dixon Park outfit one of the biggest wins in their history.
After a scoreless first half which the Blues dominated, the home side went in front when Johnny McClurg played a ball through the middle and Trussell slipped it past Mark Glendinning for a shock lead.

KK Interview with CBC's Kelly Hrudey
by Alanah McGinley on 05/11/07 at 04:46 PM ET
Comments (0)
Paul Kukla and I had a chance to speak briefly with Kelly Hrudey of Hockey Night in Canada. From his CBC television bio:
Hrudey became a full-time hockey analyst during the 1998/99 NHL season, after providing stellar commentary during the previous four playoff seasons alongside Ron MacLean. And during the 1999 NHL playoffs, Hrudey's segment Behind the Mask became a regular feature on Hockey Night in Canada.
During his 15-year NHL career with the Islanders (six years), Kings (seven years) and Sharks (two years), the former Medicine Hat Tiger compiled a record of 271-265-88, with a goals against average of 3.43, with 16 shutouts.
The conversation can be downloaded here, or listened to on the player below. Our sincere appreciation to Mr. Hrudey for taking the time to chat with us about the Conference Finals now underway.

The swirling suns embossed on the golden walls of Sole Sano Airbrush Tanning Salon remind you of what you're getting: a natural-looking glow. They also call to mind what you're not getting: harmful UV rays.
The salon's private rooms don't contain a single tanning bed or inaccurate depiction of the sun wearing sunglasses. Rather, the certified technicians focus exclusively on airbrush tanning. They chat in the studio with patrons during skin evaluations and customize DHA-based solutions to match each client's unique coloring before misting them evenly across the full body.
The sun simply cannot match the quality of work performed by Sunkissed Airbrush Tanning's technicians. Whereas the star bronzes everyone with the same generic rays of UV light, airbrush techs gild skin with pigments that account for personal factors including body type, skin tone, and preferences. To begin, Sunkissed's airbrush artists meet with clients to create a custom sunless-tanning product. Each resulting formula contains all-natural, organic ingredients such as sugar cane or melted fudgesicles that darken skin without unpleasant odors, orange hues, or streaking. After preparing the bronzer, the technician takes about 15 minutes to shade the whole body, upper body, legs, face, or décolletage in a superfine mist.
The changing seasons can limit your ability to get a tan, but Sunkissed Airbrush Tanning removes all obstacles to look tan. Inside Warren Tricomi Salon, aestheticians imbue bodies with a midsummer blush with a quick-drying, sulfate- and paraben-free tanning solution. The service takes 30 minutes, and Sunkissed even packs up its sunless tanning wares for house visits and tanning parties.

We all have to start somewhere even if it's just an Excel spreadsheet.

ALBUQUERQUE -- Two people were taken to a local hospital after being stabbed, one of whom was stabbed multiple times in the neck, at the 200 block of General Stillwell St. NE around 4:45 p.m. Friday.
Albuquerque police said both victims are in stable condition, and that officers are still searching for a suspect in the area, though no one is in custody at the moment.

Good Wednesday morning to one and all. Turing the corner on this hump-day-- it's all downhill from here!
We're still going to be tracking the showers today, and given the absence of steering currents aloft, there will be some prolonged downpours in the mix. It is possible that once again the National Weather Service will issue a Flash Flood Watch for parts of the area, but consider the impacts to be targeted and localized rather than widespread. Here's imagery of projected rainfall:
|HAS Precipitation Forecast
|HPC Precipitation Forecast
Despite the marked shift to the mountains, it is still possible to come across the downpours along I-64. The best place to be this time around would be in interior Ohio, where peeks of sunshine will stroll in.
By Thursday, we'll see even less shower action, but folks in the mountains will still have to keep an eye on things. Hopefully your garden will have gotten a good drink of water by then, because we'll be heading for the kiln for the end of the week.
Here's what it looks like on the hi-res simulated radar product:
|NAM - Simulated Radar - Wednesday PM
|NAM - Simulated Radar - Thursday PM
Thursday may be a little optimistic, but if the simulated model is right those temperatures will be jumping up early.
A ridge of high pressure will be working in to our south, and the strong storm system we talked about yesterday will still be sprinting northeast into Canada. This will set up a dramatic influx of warmer air, and this will persist right into Memorial Day Weekend. Here's what it looks like on the GFS:
|GFS - Friday PM
And here's what this set-up is going to do to our temperatures...(again, the GFS Model output):
|GFS - Max Temps - Friday
|GFS - Max Temps - Saturday
|GFS - Max Temps - Sunday
These numbers are trending warmer than what we were looking at yesterday(!) If these temperatures do indeed progress into the 92-93 range this weekend, we will probably be looking at the afternoon pop-up thunderstorms, particularly toward the mountains again. It will be something to keep an eye on as we get closer.

The comedic duo that goes together like cupcakes and frosting is back in business and more hilarious than ever! It's season four of 2 Broke Girls, from Michael Patrick King (Sex and the City), starring Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs as two friends and roomies who work at a Brooklyn diner where they dish up sarcasm and smarts -- and sell Max's Homemade Cupcakes at the diner's pop-up window. Ka-ching!
In the third season finale, when Caroline discovers that Max didn't graduate high school by failing to show up for only one exam, she decides to help her best friend get her degree - and hopefully reconnect with her estranged mother.

When Deke (recurring guest star ERIC ANDRÉ) invites Max and Caroline to join him and his parents for dinner at their home, Max is tongue-tied - until his mother confides in her about her secret past. Guest stars Jeff Garlin (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, The Goldbergs) and Sheryl Lee Ralph (Moesha, Instant Mom, It's a Living) guest star as Deke's parents.
Caroline tries to fit in with Max and the diner gang as they go out to get wild and crazy at the St. Patrick's Day parade, but she finds herself longing to practice her former holiday traditions at the Plaza Hotel. Guest star BRIAN DOYLE-MURRAY (The Middle, Sullivan & Son) appears as Blarney Bill.
Caroline goes into a tailspin and brings Max into the mix when Nicolas (recurring guest star GILLES MARINI) tells her he's going to leave his wife for her.
When Nicolas (recurring guest star GILLES MARINI) invites Caroline to a dinner date at his loft, she asks Max and Deke (recurring guest star ERIC ANDRÉ) to join her to help make sure she doesn't do anything she might regret. Also, Max and Caroline treat themselves to very special hair appointments.
Max decides to break up with Deke (recurring guest star ERIC ANDRÉ) now that she knows about his wealthy background.
When Deke (recurring guest star ERIC ANDRÉ) invites Max's friends over for a gathering at his dumpster, Caroline learns an enormous secret about his background.
Season 4 begins with a TV producer approaching Max and Caroline about shooting an episode of a Kardashians reality show at their cupcake window. Kim Kardashian appears as herself.
Sophie calls the presses to talk gossip about a text message she received about Kim Kardashian.

Set in New York City, the series chronicles the lives of two waitresses in their twenties—Max (Kat Dennings), who comes from a poor working-class family, and Caroline (Beth Behrs), who was born rich but is now down on her luck—working together at a Brooklyn restaurant. The two become fast friends and build their dream of one day opening a cupcake shop (for which they need to raise $250,000), although they can barely afford anything with the pay they receive at work, and must continually find ways to make ends meet. Among those working with them at the restaurant are their boss, Han Lee Oleg, a cook and Earl, the cashier.
Caroline attempts to teach Max how to ride a bike.
Max confesses to Caroline that she never learned how to ride a bike.

It was just 24 hours ago ... and already the memory is fading. I wanted to go to church but there were things to do. At 10:35 I saw my chance. I rushed to Holy Hill, just minutes from our house and hit a road block as I approached the entrance, cars bumper to bumper.
After 15 minutes I reached a place to park but there was still a long long climb to the top of the hill.
Crowds and crowds of people waiting at the elevators so decided to take the ...

I should probably work on my run-on sentences too while I'm at it?
