Projektų pavyzdžiai
Dideli projektai
Kas yra dideli projektai?
Dideli projektai – tai daugiausia dideli infrastruktūros projektai transporto, aplinkos apsaugos ir kituose sektoriuose, pvz., kultūros, švietimo, energetikos ar IRT. Jie taip pat susiję su didelių investicijų į gamybą bei tyrimo ir plėtros projektais.
Dideliems projektams skiriama parama iš Europos regioninės plėtros fondo ir Sanglaudos fondo. Jų vertė yra daugiau nei 50 milijonų eurų, todėl juos vertina ir sprendimus priima Europos Komisija.
Major projects in detail
'Major Projects' are usually large-scale infrastructure projects in transport, environment and other sectors such as research, energy or ICT. They also involve large productive investments that in the next period will be possible only under thematic objective 1. Financial instruments are not considered major projects.
Major Projects benefit from financial support from the European Regional Development Fund and/or the Cohesion Fund. Their eligible cost must be more than € 75 million for projects under thematic objective 7 ("Promoting sustainable transport and removing bottlenecks in key network infrastructure") and more than € 50 million in other thematic objectives and therefore are subject to the quality appraisal by the European Commission.
What is the application process?
Member States apply to the European Commission for financial support for a proposed project included in an operational programme. Their application must include information about:
- details concerning the body to be responsible for implementation of the major project, and its capacity;
- a description of the investment and its location;
- the total cost and total eligible cost;
- feasibility studies carried out, including the options analysis, and the results;
- a cost-benefit analysis (CBA Guide), including an economic and a financial analysis, and a risk assessment;
- an analysis of the environmental impact, taking into account climate change adaptation and mitigation needs, and disaster resilience;
- an explanation as to how the major project is consistent with the relevant priority axes of the operational programme concerned, and its expected contribution to achieving the specific objectives of those priority axes and the expected contribution to socio- economic development;
- the financing plan showing the total planned financial resources and the planned support from the Funds, the EIB, and all other sources of financing, together with physical and financial indicators for monitoring progress, taking account of the identified risks;
- the timetable for implementing the major project
Member States can choose between two procedures for submitting a Major Project to the Commission:
- via independent experts: when the project is positively reviewed by an independent quality review, the Member States can notify the project to the Commission. The Commission carries out a quality check within three months, based on the quality review report;
- directly to the Commission: it shall appraise the project on the basis of the application form in order to determine whether the requested financial contribution is justified. The Commission can interrupt the process of appraisal and request additional information from the MA.
Technical assistance for the preparation of major projects is available for new Member States via JASPERS.
Further information 2014-2020:
- European Parliament and European Council Regulation No 1303/2013 of 17 December 2013. Provisions relating to Major Projects can be found under Articles 100-103.
Further information 2007-2013:
- General Regulation on the Structural Funds (see Articles 39-41)
- Infrastructure investment – request for assistance
- Productive investment – request for assistance

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Salvadorans come seeking new life, protection
MANITOBANS have seen two notable waves of Salvadorans come: One group fled persecution during the bloody civil war in El Salvador in the 1980s; A new wave is seeing some temporary foreign workers becoming permanent residents.
My cousin, Mario, his wife and their three daughters were political refugees, welcomed to Canada when the United States closed its doors to them. They left El Salvador in 1980, spending five years in Mexico and the U.S. looking for sanctuary before finally being sponsored here by a multi-denominational group of churches in East Kildonan and Transcona.
I, too, am a refugee, but I fled neither for political nor economic salvation. I left El Salvador in 2000, long after Canada had changed its refugee policy, before the end of the war in 1992. The policy change unfortunately saw many potential refugees denied entrance.
But Canada found room for me, offering me protection from persecution as a gay man.
I left El Salvador because I was unable to live in a country where being openly gay is unacceptable. There have been multiple reports of violence and killings targeting homosexuals and transsexuals. AIDS and LGBT activists receive threats of violence on a regular basis. A 2010 report to the UN human rights committee reveals continued threats of violence against LGBT people and activists and lack of investigation by police in deaths even today.
I work in the area of human rights, and I needed to be able to work in a place where I would be safe. Choosing the right country was easy.
I came to Winnipeg because Mario was here. He and my mother grew up together, and she immediately contacted him and his wife. They welcomed me into their home.
Starting over in a new country wasn't easy. In El Salvador, I was a law student living a comfortable life. When I arrived here, I spoke neither English nor French. As a refugee, I was able to access social assistance benefits until I found a job.
My first job in Canada, at a call centre, came five months after my arrival in Winnipeg. With guidance from Mario, I returned to university to study political science. After two years, I moved to Quebec to learn French and to go back to law school.
After graduation, I travelled widely for work: Guatemala, research of commercial sexual exploitation of children; Washington D.C., the cause of migrant workers; Dominican Republic, research for a case against the state involving Haitian migrant workers.
Then, on to Sweden, where I completed a master's degree in international human rights Law that led to travelling the world, working in the field of human rights education.
At the end of 2009, I got the chance to return to Canada to work on the development of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
Today, some Salvadorans are coming as migrant workers to Manitoba as part of a pilot project created in 2002. Opened to all countries in the world, the project allows migrant workers who have been here for a period of time to transfer into the Provincial Nominee Program. Manitoba had been the only province that provided its migrant workers with a pathway to citizenship, until last year when British Columbia followed suit.
After moving into the PNP, they can bring their families to join them. This is how some Salvadoran workers are making Brandon their home. Being able to bring their families to Manitoba facilitates their integration. Unfortunately, allowing migrant workers to become permanent residents is the exception to the rule. Many of them, coming under the Temporary Foreign Workers Program, are victims of human rights violations around the country.
Salvadorans over the ages have faced hardship in trying to find their place in society here, but they have succeeded. We are doctors, academics, lawyers, teachers, artists, business owners, agricultural workers and many other people working in a wide range of professions and trades. My cousin Mario, for example, first worked in a settlement agency helping other Salvadoran refugees establish themselves in Winnipeg. Eventually, he started at the University of Winnipeg where he continues to work today as a senior admissions officer.
As a group, Salvadorans have injected Winnipeg with a particular Latin flavour. And we are documenting our journeys in an oral history project called "Salvadoran Voices of Manitoba."
The project was born after Mario met Alex Freund, an oral historian and professor at the University of Winnipeg, who has an interest in the stories of refugees. Mario shared his experience with him and his dream of preserving the collective memory of Salvadoran refugees living in Manitoba. Shortly after meeting other community members, the project started to take shape.
"Salvadoran Voices" hopes to preserve the voices of Salvadorans who have made Manitoba their home, creating a collective Canadian-Salvadoran heritage that can be passed onto future generations. The intent is to ensure the youth don't forget the atrocities that took place in El Salvador and to remember the resilience of its people. The group is working on developing an exhibit Oct. 11-13 at the Inn at The Forks, organized by the University of Manitoba.
The refugee experience in Canada has not always been a positive one. The country has struggled and continues to struggle with deciding to open or close the doors to the different waves of refugees.
When I decided, in Sweden, to leave my globe-trotting life and return to Winnipeg to take my new job, colleagues asked why I would give up so much to do that.
Without hesitation, I told them I wanted to be here, again, because when I needed a new home, Canada was there for me.

- SURPRISINGLY EXCELLENT!!OzPhanDined on 9/23/2014Gem of a restaurant located upstairs at Jackson Rancheria Casino. I'd heard that this Rancheria did not serve alcohol, but can assure you that the Lone Wolf serves wine, beer, and mixed cocktails. We were a party of 4 and all of us enjoyed our food, which was prepared perfectly as ordered. The menu is wonderfully-varied enough to fit any budget -- two of us had burgers & salads, and two of us had steaks. They also offer pizza, seared scallops, and many great-sounding appetizers, sandwiches, entrees, and desserts. The food service was friendly, prompt and responsive to requests. We were there for a before-concert dinner and were not disappointed. On the contrary, we were all so impressed that we dubbed this place a "food destination".Special Features:
- Good food, friends, & vinoWildfire55Dined on 9/17/2014We have dined here with larger groups and have been seated in the private room which is really nice, service has been excellent, waiters know their menus in detail.

- Review lone wolf diningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014Food was good, not happy with long waiting time between dishes. Did not understand wait as restaurant not all that crowded.

- Love the Lone WolfFrannieAnnieDined on 9/4/2014If you ever find yourself dining at the Lone Wolf, ask for Shirley. She's a joy and a wonderful server. The food is great. I seem to always enjoy their fish special. This time it was opa...very good. We took the boss and his wife out to dinner, and they enjoyed themselves and loved the food. It's a treat to have such a wonderful restaurant near home. Will come go back again and again.Special Features:
- Our Favorite RestaurantLynnDined on 9/4/2014This was our 2nd time dining at The Lone Wolf. The first time, we were going to another nice restaurant that doesn't have reservations and the wait time was so long that we left. We decided to try The Lone Wolf and they were able to seat us in 15 minutes. The food, service, ambiance were SO good that my husband requested dinner there for his birthday, which is why we made this reservation. I LOVE scallops and unless you are in San Francisco, you better not order them or they are ruined. But, I wanted them and placed my order, fingers crossed, secretly praying "Please be good!" Well, they weren't just "good" they were the BEST I've ever eaten! Tom's filet was perfect also! The chefs at Lone Wolf are AMAZING! Try it, you'll LOVE it!Special Features:
- BandyHillDined on 9/4/2014Quiet and peaceful atmosphere in a smoke-free environment. James was an excellant server and paid close attention to us. We will be back and recommend it to all our friends.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/31/2014We had a wonderful dinner with a very nice server. You even prepared a dessert for my wife's Birthday. We would love to come back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great atmosphere.Fred4foodDined on 8/28/2014My wife and I very much enjoyed this restaurant. An excellent selection of food, and very comfortable, and attractive setting. Great wine selection, but moderate beer selection that could use some improvement.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Birthday SurpriseDanielandDixieDined on 8/28/2014This was a great experience from beginning to the very end. I booked our reservation online, this was a very special birthday and a great surprise. I got everything I asked for without speaking with anybody, this was all done online. Once we arrived, we were seated immediately. We sat on the Veranda and what a beautiful experience that was!! We were the only couple for most of our dinner, that was nice. The food was AMAZING!!! and our service was that of a 5 star, we never were empty. Would I come back? Defiantly. Would I tell my friends? Defiantly Thank you to all the Lone Wolf Staff for making this birthday surprise extra, extra specialSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not worth it.AlienAmericanDined on 8/16/2014Having dined here once before, I expected much better. The service was mediocre, the food less so. My wife didn't understand why i did not send my dry, tough steak back or why i paid for it. Eat before you come to this casino. There is a KFC in Lockeford.
- Pleasant experience once upstairslanebDined on 8/8/2014Once you walk through the casino and get upstairs the atmosphere improves dramatically. The cigarette smoke and machine bells and whistles disappear. The restaurant is airy and noise level is low to moderate, the outside deck features scenic wooded hillsides. The food ranges from divine to mundane. MY PIZZA WAS FANTASTIC, but my Shrimp Louie featured small broken thawed shrimp. Service is attentive.Special Features:
- DisappointedeatersmanifestoDined on 8/2/2014Server made it a point to tell us she had the whole patio and back wall before even welcoming us or taking an order. Can't fault her hustle, but table side manner was poor for this price point. Made it through a very bad shimp cocktail and a very average soup and salad before waiting over an hour for entrees and asking for the check. Told manager we were extremely disappointed; he said he was sorry, he had "staffing" issues that night. Bad excuse and bad experience. Went downstairs and had fish taco's from the fast food joint. Too bad....nice facilities and a great bar with a nice little wine list full of local Amador goodies. Bar and host service are the only thing that bumped this rating to 2 stars.
- Excellent Customer ServiceSillywallinaDined on 8/2/2014This isn't the first time we have eaten at Lone Wolf, which is lucky for them. Our previous dinner was delicious and unfortunately this one was not. However, they demonstrated EXCELLENT customer service by caring about our opinion and going overboard to make us happy/satisfied with our experience. It seems the restaurant was having a bad night, but they are definitely worth giving second chances to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- "Good"OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/1/2014Overall experience was "GOOD". Have hade better meals here. Maybe it was just an Off-Night. Service was also a bit off. Waiter seemed either new or distracted. We will give it one more shot before giving it 2 or fewer stars. Everybody deserves a second chance.I would recommend this to a friend.
- good and badKPdinerDined on 8/1/2014First time there, had 5:15 reservation and was quickly seated. The restaurant was lightly crowded at that time, we were seated at the closest table to a west facing glass door which was very hot and had to have the shades be closed. The wait person came and greeted us and asked if we were going to the concert at 7 and we replied "yes". She said she would get us out in time. The restaurant seemed lightly staffed for the fact it was the first of the month and many patrons were attending the concert. This pushed our time to the limit as our wait person was VERY busy. 75 minutes to eat and then have to walk to the extreme far end of the casino for the concert. Need for correct staffing and would be nice to have both venues closer together.Special Features:

- Very nice restaurantmoriahthedogDined on 7/16/2014We went to Lone Wolf to have a special night out. We took advantage of their promotion of Local's Night. As a result, we received a nice discount on our meal as well as no corkage on the 18 year old bottle of wine we brought from our cellar. We ordered two Beef Filets and salads and everything was exactly as we ordered it, very nicely displayed and very flavorful. The dessert, a chocolate mousse, was also very good. We enjoyed how quiet the restaurant is and it's very tastefully decorated. We especially enjoy the booths that line the space. We were seated so that we could see the fire, the kitchen and the dining room. There is outside seating for those that want it but we preferred eating inside on this particular evening.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/9/2014We both had Ceasar salad. Expected it to be made at table for the $10 price. VERY bland dressing. Not very flavorful. Would not recommend it. However the short rib pot roast was good though.
- We will be backJeanetteDined on 7/9/2014Hi We had reservations for 2 couples celebrating their anniversary and I had mentioned it in a e-mail while booking the reservations. To my surprise we were presented with a platter of beautiful desert that had writing along the edge of the platter (in chocolate) saying Happy Anniversary. That was such a surprise and nice touch. It's not that we don't appreciate it but I think it would be nice to be able to pick your own desert. One lady has allergies and couldn't eat any of the deserts. Two other's just wanted Mud Pie. Only one slice was presented. If I might make a suggestion why don't you suggest the customer pick their desert and do complimentary that way.Special Features:
- Local's Nightslocal2supportDined on 6/25/2014Excellent food and great discount for locals on Wednesdays and Thursdays. A local Amador gem!Special Features:
- Great Dining!Lala510Dined on 6/21/2014Lone Wolf had a very diverse menu from gourmet burgers to fine dining choices. Service was excellent and a great wine list. Even though the menu is very upscale dress code was casual which worked well with the casino. Highly recommend trying out this dining experience for culinary delight.Special Features:
- Consistently GoodTheEagerEatersDined on 6/18/2014We recently dined at the Lone Wolf for the 4th time and it was a wonderful dining experience as usual. The service provided by Shirley was top notch and the menu always seems to have something different each time. A bonus is that the appetizers are nicely portioned allowing a foursome to enjoy one without someone not getting much, (Bacon Wrapped Shrimp is a great choice). All in all, it's great for a couple or a party of 12...we will be back.Special Features:
- chicken not too goodout4nightminuskdsDined on 6/1/2014Yep. No other flavor in the chicken except too sweet. Also 2 thighs for $17.00. Not a good deal. I like thighs and these were tender but the meat had no other flavor or spices. The did let me substitute the noodles for a side of Bacon green beans which were perfectly crispy and full of bacon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Tuesday is the first day of early voting in Ohio's August 5 election, although few voters in southwest Ohio will have anything to vote on.
Hamilton County has only two issues on the ballot - an additional 11.2 mill tax levy in the Lockland Local School District and the renewal of a five mill tax levy for fire and emergency medical services in Mount Healthy.
In Warren County, voters in the Lebanon City School District will decide a tax levy renewal that will raise $4.2 million a year for the next three years.
There will be no hot-button ballot issues to draw Ohio voters to the polls this November. WVXU politics reporter Howard Wilkinson talked with Maryanne Zeleznik this morning about it.
The debate over voting rights in Ohio rages on, unabated.
Democrats argue that the Republicans in the legislature and the Republican secretary of state, Jon Husted, have done everything in their power to make it difficult for Democrats – particularly African-American voters – to cast a ballot.
Husted and the Republicans argue that you would be hard-pressed to find a state that gives its people more opportunities to cast a ballot, with its 28-day early voting period for both mail-in absentee ballots and early in-person voting at the state's 88 county boards of elections.
WVXU political reporter talked this morning with Maryanne Zeleznik about the Democratic candidates for Congress in southwest Ohio; and Ohio's chances of hosting a Republican or Democratic presidential nominating convention next year.

It takes one hour in Bali to realize that the average tourist is a sexually frustrated drug abuser in urgent need of a taxi. At least that is what the Kuta marketplace is all about. Here are the options: You can buy a venereal disease that will kill you slowly. Or you can be arrested for drug possession and get the unforgiving Indonesian death penalty (which will kill you faster). OR you can settle for a taxi ride, but the island is so small that youll likely die of backseat boredom before 5pm. Therefore - since the Balinese seem so eager to terminate their visitors - I decided to quickly move on to Nusa Tenggara, the island in the east and the ferry hell of Southeast Asia.
The happy owner of this pile of junk welded from a Vespa took me for a grand tour around Bima. It was a nerve-racking but memorable experience.
First ferry was to Lombok. The ticket master asked about the size of my bike. I said it was 600cc. Then he started to argue that it might be 500cc. I could only repeat myself, but so did he. Being annoyed with this seemingly unnecessary discussion I showed him the registration papers. He sighed, then - and not before then - explained that all bikes with more than 500cc had to pay triple ferry price, and now I had to pay because he knew for sure. Yeah, thanks a lot. Two hours drive and Lombok was history, and the ferry to Sumbawa was much cheaper because Balto was suddenly a 400cc. Then the hotel receptionist in Bima said there was no ferry to Flores going the next day, which was some bogus information to make me stay an extra night in their otherwise empty establishment. I didnt, though the 8am departure was indeed delayed because the ferry was out of petrol (!). It took eight hours for a fuel truck to drive the 40 kilometers from Bima.
Flores offers some stunning roadside views. Volcanoes are everywhere.
The first person I met on Flores was a young man offering me a blowjob, something that would be a wonderful gesture of Flores hospitality if it was my cup of tea. Nonetheless being boringly heterosexual I quickly moved on because I was told by the tourist office in Ende that the final ferry to Timor would leave on Thursday. But in Ende there was no ferry, only more boys promoting Flores. Then I got a tip about a departure from Aimere sometime during the weekend, which meant that I had to drive back 150 kilometers. Being fed up with mixed messages I phoned the ferry captain in person to be sure. When talking to the man in charge it seemed needless to ask twice, but Im glad I did.
The ferry will leave on Saturday at 8pm, he said.
Are you absolutely 100% sure?
Yes, the ferry will leave precisely at 8pm in the morning.
The ferry left at 10am.
It was 23 hours of terrified household animals screaming on the deck below. Rust painted water dribbled in because several windows were missing, and at sunrise I woke up by the rudder house rooster (yes, they had one), just to discover that we were behind schedule and someone had poed on my tankbag. But not to worry, Balto and I made it here to Kupang, and we celebrated by cooling down in a hotel with air-con, only to discover that our biggest ferry problem is yet to come. That is, there are no more. The only scheduled shipping route from here to Australia goes from Dili in East Timor (Perkins Ltd.). I had an appointment with them, but the East Timor border has closed due to recent riots and gun fights. The only option is to hitchhike from Kupang with a shrimp boat owned by an Ozzie named Bob, though his engine is kaput and new parts will not arrive before my visa runs out. How shall I get away from here?

yep, right, if he was black he wouldn't be released
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis

"This man was clearly trying to steal a car. Why was he released?"
I don't now about you, but if I was trying to steal a car, I don't think I would do it from the passenger seat. He was probably just riffling the car for change and valuables.
I did not see in the article that he had been released. Where did it say that? I see the police issued a press release, but that is not the same thing.
"yep, right, if he was black he wouldn't be released"
I find that to be offensive, an insult to the police and our society.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Jan 23, 2012 at 2:06 pm
"...was cited for tampering with a vehicle and released at the scene..."
I agree that he should not have been released. Even if a car is unlocked, isn't it illegal to enter it if it's not yours, without permission?
a resident of Palo Verde
on Jan 23, 2012 at 5:08 pm
I guess we've been conditioned to suspect the worst of people. He could have been just looking for a comfortable place to take a nap, and figured it was the car of an employee who wouldn't be returning for awhile. The owner left it unlocked, which might be misconstrued as an invitation. The article is ambiguous about whether the guy was arrested (as in booked) or released at the scene. If he had identification and there were no wants or warrants or burglary tools or stolen property on him then I think it's usual to cite and release. Shoplifters are cited and released regularly. Maybe a law enforcement person here can enlighten us.

This guy was RELEASED?!?
He should have spent some time in the local jail!!!
a resident of Old Palo Alto
on Jan 25, 2012 at 1:45 pm
I agree it would be better if he was not released, but I think that he didn't do anything illegal to charge him with. (But I do think it should be illegal to enter someone elses unlocked property.)
I believe if the car had been locked, then it would have been a crime. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Every year, the fall harvest yields tasty pumpkins used in traditional baking and the carved pumpkin has become a symbol of the autumn holidays.
In the past few years, pumpkins have spread beyond the traditional baked goods of pies, loafs and muffins and can now be tasted in just about any type of cuisine imaginable. From beverages to entrees and salads to candy and ice cream, pumpkin flavoring is enjoying its moment in the sun.
But do people really like pumpkin flavored coffees and Pumpkin Spice M&Ms? And if pumpkin is so desirable, should it be available all year round?
We polled our trusty consumer panel, and here's what we found:
Pumpkin pie isn't enjoyed by everybody....

Debut In Milan: Formafantasma's Hidden Messages In Its 'Hidden Collection' Designsby Toby
....With grace and skill, Trimarchi and Farresin have created an ode to the clock, in this case a rather banal department store clock, the poetry of which is ever so much greater than that of its contents. And like so many things packaged and shipped today, there are layers of boxes each enveloping the other to protect the box that's holding the box that's holding the clock. Of course, very soon you have packaging that's more valuable, and even more desirable, than the object of desire itself.

Historical Traveler Reviews Sheraton Dallas Hotel by the Galleria
Nice stay
We stayed at the Galleria Wyndam for 3 nights. It was a very pleasant stay with no problems. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The hotel is not quite as "nice" as I expected, but was still fine. My children enjoyed the pool because it has part of it indoors and part of it outdoors where you can swim from one to the other. We did take the shuttle from the hotel to the Galleria and were picked up again in a timely manner. It leaves the hotel every hour and picks up at the Galleria every hour and will make stops any where in a 3 mile radius.
While saying all of this that we had a pleasant stay at the hotel, I would not necessarily stay here again. Traveling with children, it is just so much easier to stay someplace with a mini-kitchen to keep milk and snacks handy and that provides a breakfast. There are too many good choices for that now!
Great stay!
Our recent stay was probably our fifth at this hotel this year. We overnight in Dallas frequently for business/leisure. Every visit we have found all of the staff extremely friendly and accomodating, to a person. Our rooms are always spotless and the bedding wonderful. Wyndham's free "By Request" program is a great bonus assuring you your choice of welcome amenities and special requests. This hotel is in a great location and light sleepers can request rooms opposite the freeway. For the price, it is a great value in Dallas!
Pleasant Stay
I was in Dallas recently on business and stayed at this hotel. The lobby was nice and clean, the staff was helpful, and my room was very nice. I was a little surprised to have to pay extra in order to have high speed internet though. Seems like these most hotels are just including it in the price of the room. You have to pay extra for it at this hotel.
Glad I wasn't checking in
Stopped in by mistake because I thought our reservation was at this place. Glad it wasn't. The front desk staff was rude and not helpful in directing us to the right Wyndham Hotel. Gave us directions without considering we were from out of town and didn't know Dallas well. When I asked for more specific directions, the person was quick to note she had to attend to her customers. Also, the front lobby was not very clean.
Tries but doesn't succeed
We are a family of four and stayed for a weekend. Great location! The hotel lobby is clean and the staff is very welcoming although they did not really have information about area restaurants or attractions. But that's okay -- some hotels have it and some don't. What was more of a concern was the tiny rooms, noise, and dirty pool. We had a room with two double beds -- the usual way we travel as a family. The beds seemed smaller than normal and were uncomfortable because of the strange sheet arrangement. The windows are not built to block out the noise of the freeways -- although the view was nice -- and the walls themselves, as another reviewer mentioned, seemed porous: we could hear a crying baby very clearly.
Bathrooms are also small although nice enough otherwise. Great towels. The pool was unpleasant, though. Smoking is allowed in the indoor as well as the outdoor space -- which surprised us. So if someone is smoking inside, the entire enclosed pool area fills with smoke. Yuck. Of course it's no big deal if someone is smoking outside, but the double threat was annoying. The jacuzzi wasn't working properly and the area was strewn with candy wrappers. The water itself was dirty and filled with gravel and rocks. I think that was probably an anomaly -- a day camp was spending the night there with some rowdy kids -- but still the atmosphere was not what we expected.
So -- it was not horrible but defintely not as nice as I expected. I think we'll look for another hotel for our next Dallas sojourn.
Where's the Welcome Committee?
#1 Not Friendy or Accommodating, Called ahead to request for my client coming into town on redeye, for early check-in. Desk Supervisor, Absolutely not!.... I booked this because of seeing early check in on the corporate website. #2 Rude on the phone. #3 Read on the Expedia Review site. NOT FRIENDLY also..... but thought I would give them a chance.....also the pool looked nice since my clients had kids. Now I regret!
Book your clients elsewhere
Very Nice Hotel
Stayed at Wyndham last night for New Years Eve. Very nice hotel. Rooms were clean & beds & pillows were great. Front desk staff were friendly & helpful with info & calling cabs, etc.
We didn't try onsite restaurant but did visit the bar. Decorations for New Years but no activities for celebration. Definetly room for inprovement in bar. Bartender was not exactly Mr. Personality and seemed inconveinenced. He said bar usually closes at midnight but he stayed open till 12:30 because it was New Years Eve.
Friend booked rooms on hotels.com. We could have got better rates by using Wyndham's site and also receive Wyndham By Request benefits if we had done so. Guess it does pay to search several options before booking.
I would stay at this location again & will recommend it to my friends visiting Dallas.
Great hotel and location
We booked this hotel at the last minute as we were diverted from New Orleans because of Hurricane Ivan. We knew nothing about Dallas and this made a great base for a brief exploration. It is situated right near the new shopping centre, has comfy rooms and cheap internet access. We were a little disappointed with the hotel breakfast which had a limited choice. Don't miss the JFK Museum or the rodeo, which is a great family night out.
Nice Place
Nice hotel. Has all that Wyndhams offer: ByRequest, plush bedding, high speed internet access, friendly service, etc. Can't say enough good things about the Dallas North. The Galleria Mall they boast to being located by was under construction. It will be a great shopping location once the mall renovations are complete.
Great place to stay & shop
Great place to stay & shop at the Galleria. I was able to park the car & take the complimentary shuttle to shop & to restaurants. Room was nice & clean & quiet. Bath was kind of small but had several nice amenities such as a scale & makeup mirror. Housekeeping requests were promptly & cheerfully fulfilled. Front desk personnel were also very courteous & accommodating. My only disappointment was the breakfast buffet in the restaurant. Save some money & eat breakfast at la Madeleine in the Galleria. Overall, it was a great experience.

I had a total I.G fangasm watching this video. Also, I'm glad Ghost Hound received some special attention (watch it and discuss in the thread!), and I spotted plenty of production art from Tokyo Marble Chocolate. <3 <3 And we almost got to see Oshii's and my favorite Kamiyama's desks!
Agh, there's really too much I could comment on about the interview and the tour, so I'm going to go ahead and say that this was an amazingly great feature. Thanks, ANN!

Amazing show. This interview reminded me of the good old articles at ex.org. This is what I wanted to see on ANNtv. Really well produced episode with tons of content. The editing of the tour and the interview confirms that ANN's staff is pro. Just showing Production I.G's president talking as if there were no questions was a great idea. Congratulations.
I'm really sorry but I will insist on my minor complaint from last ANNtv. Halfway through the interview I asked myself "who is this guy again?" It would really help if ANN "re-introduced" the person being interviewed at least one more time in the middle. Just roll the very pretty Mitsuhisa Ishikawa/President and CEO once again as if there was a commercial brake.
I bet many people would like to find out who is the blond guy with pony tail in Production I.G's staff (2:30) and how he got there.

|It must've been pretty thrilling for ANN staff to get praise from Ishikawa for covering anime so well. I also enjoyed hearing (er, reading) his take on fansubs. I hope a lot of people see the interview and absorb that part especially. We have a professional in the anime field, in Japan, saying that that people in the industry should be rewarded for their work, and fansubs are a concern of his.

Excellent work!
A great insight to Production I.G and it's all done very professionally.
And reintroducing is a good idea, I watched the whole video and I have no idea who that dude or the lady was. But it's not so importatn anyway, as we got to hear some very interesting Japanese viewpoints of the industry and foreign market.
Really nice.

I agree. Mr. Ishikawa has interesting stance on fansubs. He knows that fansub is based out of love for the medium, but also concerned about its abuse. These professionals work hard to make your favorite anime. It's not all right to take advantage of these people's effort while give nothing in return.
FYI, Anime professionals don't make a lot money as American counterpart. Japanese animators make less than half the pay that American animation artists make.

At the beginning, he talked about treating employees as family. If only more U.S. studios would do the same. I understand animation is a business, but you can show honest concerns for your employees & people who purchase your products as well. He also understands passion that fans have & wants to please them with quality work.
Too many U.S. companies producing animation look only at the bottom line. Making money is fine, but if you don't make films & series people want to buy without having promos stuffed down their throats, you're making crap & people won't spend money on it anyway.
Look at Bruce Timm & Batman: Gotham Knight. He believes in quality & he & DC writers collaborate with Production I.G, Madhouse & Studio 4C. I think this DVD should be at least as successful & memorable as The Animatrix was... at least I hope...

Yeah, I noticed that guy right away. I bet you could find out who he his by watching the credits... his name would stand out like sore thumb. I remember the credits on the Zoids opening theme, there was a guy named "Robert Etoll" that always caught my eye because his was the only name written in roman characters.
But this interview was great. I just wish there was a bit more about the animators and the animation process rather than whats-his-face Ishikawa talking. (I agree with rti9 on the needing to remind everyone who he is half way through ^-^

I agree on the bootlegs (corporate piracy) which is happened very seriously.
Seven year ago, in my country. I would buy the DVDs from licensing company, although expensive but the quality worth the money. However, as animes became a wider success among young and older generation, those greedy people start taking advantage of the popular cultures in the anime market by taking fansub works, put them into 1 or more DVD (labeled "100% Original, High quality (my ass)") and sell them. This has became the worst kind of corporate quick money scheme, and China have the most rip off anime from Fansub hard work. Some of them sell with a price half of the real license deal DVD, while other sell as cheap as 1$ buck for a full season chapter series in one disc!
They should burn in Hell~!!
