Baker & Rouse
In 1884 Mr Thomas Baker, a thirty year old registered pharmaceutical chemist, began making photographic dry plates at his home 'Yarra Grange' by the Yarra River in Abbotsford, Melbourne, under the name the Austral Plate Company. In 1887 Baker formed a partnership with John J Rouse, and in 1908 their highly successful business merged with Eastman Kodak. The resulting company ultimately evolved into Kodak (Australasia) Pty Ltd, which has been a significant manufacturer and distributor of photographic products in Australia, and an important educator in regard to the practice of photography.
When Baker met John J (JJ) Rouse (born 1861) Rouse was working as an accountant and sales manager for a Sydney photographic merchant and an importer at a branch store in Melbourne. The partnership between the two men allowed Baker to expand the photographic manufacturing and retail business. Baker concentrated on improvements to the manufacturing of plates and production in the laboratory whilst Rouse set up a network of retail outlets.
In about 1886 Baker's photographic business had moved from the Baker home into a three-storey factory building nearby, to accommodate its 10 employees. By 1887, under the new partnership with Rouse, the factory was producing a new bromide paper, known as Austral Pearl Bromide, which replaced albumen paper, previously the dominant photographic paper. By the 1900s the factory was producing bromide and gaslight papers, negative materials, mounts, envelopes, and ready mixed chemicals.
The business continued to expand as Baker and Rouse took over existing companies or trade outlets. They imported Eastman products from London and in 1888 obtained a trade agency for the American Eastman products, which they successfully sold. Baker and Rouse opened new stores and branches in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Hobart, and Sydney. Between 1887 and 1900 they had outlets at fourteen locations. Their first wholesale and retail store opened at 37 Collins Street Melbourne, where Lichtner & Co, a photographic supply store had operated. In 1894 the company became known as the Baker and Rouse Australia Laboratory.
Due in part to the success of sales at Baker and Rouse of Eastman products, Kodak Limited opened its own branch in Melbourne in 1900, at 284-286 Collins Street. However, the store did not match the sales figures of Baker and Rouse, which continued with good sales. Contributing to Kodak Limited losses were the high tariffs imposed at the time on imported films.
After Thomas Baker visited George Eastman in Rochester, Baker and Rouse was appointed the sole Australian agents for Eastman Kodak products in 1905. The agreement included the sale to Baker and Rouse of the Kodak Limited store in Collins Street. In return Baker and Rouse agreed to purchase a certain percentage of Kodak products directly from Rochester, rather than London. A clause in the agreement provided that at a suitable time Kodak could purchase Baker and Rouse. That time came in 1908, after further import tariffs introduced in 1907 greatly increased the cost of imported goods. Baker travelled to Rochester and convinced Eastman on the benefits of a merger between Baker and Rouse and Eastman Kodak to form Australia Kodak Limited. Baker saw the merger as an opportunity to upgrade and expand the factory in Abbotsford. Eastman saw this as a way of avoiding tariff imports by manufacturing and finishing products in Australia.
The newly merged company became Australian Kodak Limited, and later in 1911 Kodak (Australasia) Limited, then finally in 1920 Kodak (Australasia) Pty Ltd. Both Baker and Rouse continued to play leading executive roles in the company, and after Baker's death, John Rouse's son Edgar took on the role of Managing Director and Abbotsford Factory Manager, and later became Chairman and Chief Managing director.
The two men in the original Baker and Rouse partnership had very different personalities. Baker was said to be reserved whilst Rouse was athletic and outgoing. After Baker's unexpected death on 4 December 1928, Rouse wrote to George Eastman 'During this long partnership he (Baker) never interfered with me, and never took my part in the running of the works. Although we were entirely different dispositions we had only one subject in view, namely the success of the firm'.

Sterling Heights company employee charged with embezzlement
An employee at a Sterling Heights condo property management company is charged with embezzlement.
Cranbrook Property Management is responsible for more than as dozen condominium associations across metro Detroit.
Mary Ellen McCabe, who worked at the company as an account manager, is accused of embezzling money over a four-year period.
Sterling Heights police Lt. Luke Riley said McCabe is alleged to have written about 250 checks to herself since 2009.
"They were cashed at banks, party stores and check cashing services, things like that. I have no idea what she was spending the money on," Riley said.
Lt. Riley said an investigation began last December when the company began getting calls about unpaid bills.
"I imagine it's something that kind of got to the point she wasn't able to keep things current enough to prevent people from complaining," Riley said.
McCabe is due in court for a preliminary examination hearing on the charges against her.
Cranbrook Property Management and the condo associations it serves will get their money back. They are insured.

Omaha police are searching for four men who are responsible for a home invasion that occurred in broad daylight Monday.
Police were called to a home in the area of 30th and Cuming around three o'clock Monday afternoon. When they arrived, the victims, ages 24 and 27, told officers that they were in the living room when four men entered the home.
The victims told police one suspect held them at gunpoint, while the other three ransacked the home. The victims were eventually able to run outside and call 911.
It's not clear what, if anything, was taken from the home. A detailed description of the suspects was not provided.

The Newsplex had the honor of sponsoring the Wounded Warriors 5K check presentation at Fridays After 5.
The UVA Foundation issued a check for more than $116,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project.
Officials say its important they find a way to give back to those who give the ultimate sacrifice, because they're the ones who put their lives on the line, and need the most help when they return from combat.
"The Wounded Warrior Project spends a lot of time and energy helping those re-enter normal life, particularly those who who have been wounded not only physically, but those who have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder," said Deborah VanEersel, Chief Administrator of the UVA Foundation.
The Wounded Warriors 5K started four years ago, and in just those four years, they've raised over $390,000.

Bush art exhibit hoax, the 'gallon-smashing' pranksters face charges, a new film on cyberbullying, latest on the Prenda copyright trolls case, the story of a homeowners association suing a blogger (a blogger who's now being represented by noted 1st amendment attorney Marc Randazza), a gamer who's spent the past 6 years in an internet cafe, urinals equipped with a pee-controlled video game, and reviews of two new video games.

Sweden Drops 'Ungoogleable' From Word List After Google Protests ============================================ Hoaxes, Harassment and Hacking. ============================================ During the Wisconsin Recall protests in 2011, some in the hacker collective Anonymous answered the call from labor unions and left-wing activists to protest Koch Industries. That prompted hacktivists to launch a series of DDoS attacks on Koch owned websites, among other targets. It was a stunt that had even other Anonymous members questioning why they were getting political and attacking those targets. Yesterday, one of those hacktivists was charged.

The hoaxer explains that he did it to see if, after the hoax was discovered, Gagosian would actually invite Bush's art (which was recently outed by hacker Guccifer). Some folks on Twitter apparently aren't big fans of the W's art. Shocker. Hoax: George W.

Roger Federer Plays in Sweater Vest
All the recent talk surrounding Roger Federer has been about his new, larger racket. But I'm more interested in his latest addition to his on-court wardrobe... the sweater vest. Federer's vest didn't seem to improve his play an awful lot... he took three sets to beat Florian Mayer. Oh well, I like the look. Nothing wrong with keeping your core warm on a chilly day.

Nick Johnson, Manager of the Gasworx Skatepark in Bridlington East Yorkshire sent in the following information and photos of a huge park that allows BMX riding. The park looks awesome. Here's Nick: We are currently 8 weeks into construction of our £500,000+ skatepark which is to be complete by 21st March. The concrete park which is available to BMX, Inline skate and skateboarders has been designed the very well known Marc Churchill of Gravity Parks. I was hoping that you may be able to run a story of the development

The park has been open for a while and was considered Europe's biggest skatepark by the local council. This always attracts more people and media to the opening of such a park and with a size of 50 meters by 60 meters it is in fact huge. It's got something for everyone, a cradle, bowl, stairs, rails, ledges, wall, hips and of various sizes so something for everyone. Location: Kapermolen, Hasselt, Belgium.

I went up to Adrenaline Alley Skatepark in Corby, Northamptonshire (UK) on the first weekend off December to MC the grand opening of their new Vert & Resi ramp. Shaun Scarfe & his gang of merry men built the ramp over the course of the past few months & is set in a brand new building. Finished in perfect Finnish Birch ply, standing 14ft tall & 75ft wide (inc resi) & housed in a purpose built £150,000gbp (approx $300,000usd?) warehouse alongside the original excisting skatepark, this is the biggest & first of its kind in Europe.

Less than a year ago Chris Harburn decided to open Giba Gorge which is a MTB park in South Africa. Wanting to cater for more bike disciplines he decided to throw in a bmx race track and some freestyle jumps. To get the ball rolling Chris gave local rider Colin Loudon free reign to build the jumps with a payloader. A trail rider himself for many years Colin was a good choice of builder and these jumps are really clean. I gave the race track a test run in the morning. I have never raced in my life but the track is a lot of fun and littered

When going to a big contest you usually don't get to see more than the hotel(bar), the venue and the airport. But when the contest is held in a place called Dubai, you simply have to find the time to see more of the city. There was no hotel bar so that helped with getting up early to go snorkling, go shopping, indoor snowboarding, dune bashing or scope landscaping for street spots. We collected some shots here.

Maciek Baginski is livin' in Bialystok, Poland and has been ridin' since 1997. Maciek and his friends started ridin' street, coz 10 years ago they had nothing to ride on besides street spots. Then they built their first dirt jumps. Maciek fills us in on the old and current days in Poland: In this time (1998) one of the local bike shops got a first bmx video in Poland, which was Schwinn "American Muscle". We were been shocked, coz THAT WAS THE first time we saw big jumps, ramps and huge tricks. We were ridin' hard, learning tricks and just having fun - awesome time.

(don't even ask him about the customs/taxes/VAT crap nightmare bullshit that he has had to wade through to get it in to the UK, but it's done now so good job Shaun). The Resi Frames are up and virtually ready for a surface to go on. The Main Vert ramp is now taking its last surface which as you can see from the pictures is going on diagonally and we are taking our time to get the sheets fitting perfectly so that the ramp feels reallly smooth and fast.

There is no better venue than a rider owned park. Flatlander Gabe Weed runs Reno, Nevada's only indoor park called Openground. Started over a year ago Gabe wanted to give local riders and skaters a venue where they could get a break from concrete and the sometimes freezing Reno weather. The park has also grown further in terms of entertainment as some nights it is shut down and turned into a music venue. Check out their official website for dates and events.

The Red Bull Backyard Diggers made their way to our beloved capital Amsterdam for some serious building, just like at the former two stops. Especially for the grand opening on Sunday afternoon, the sun acted as if it was summer and made for a perfect ending of an amazing Red Bull Backyard Digger series. With the building of street theatre group ISH on one side and an army survival style track on the other side, the choice of location for this dirt course was an obvious one. During the week leading up to the opening on Sunday, enormous amounts of dirt were delivered on an open field as big as a soccer pitch. French pro dirt rider Patrick Guimez, who spent the entire Red Bull Backyard Digger series chilling in the Netherlands, decided on the lines and the take off once again and got to work, with the help of the enthusiastic Amsterdam locals.
Upon arrival on Sunday morning, the end result of their hard work is amazing. An enormous take-off gives you the speed you need to hit

We brought you Matt's year yesterday, now we're giving you a look on the inside. Basically the riding place is the garage. It's super tight but again Mike Aitken didn't make it look that small. While it was raining outside some money was chipped in and Matt made a run to the grocery store. Adam Banton had already cranked up the BBQ and in no-time dinner was ready for ten people. Hospitality at its best over at Beringer's place. Before we wanted to, we had to get back to Salt Lake City.

Missouri Bow hunter Holles Wilbur Allen in 1966 devised the very first recurve bow, and granted a US patent. A recurve bow is a modern bow that utilizes a levering system to pull or bend the limbs with pulleys and cables. Its limbs are created much stiffer than normal compared to the recurve bow or longbow. It's this stiffness that makes it able to fire arrows with more electricity and faster due to the greater energy stored in the limbs. The strings are attached to cam or a pulley or both has one or more cables attached to the opposite limb. The pulleys turn every time the cord is drawn back, which causes the pulleys to pull on the cords, and causes the limbs to bend. After the limbs are drawn back by the archer, energy is stored in the limbs, able to shoot at arrow towards the string's planned target.
If you have a recurve bow, before using, you need to string it first, and the way how to string a recurve bow can be found on my online blog.
Just what there is a recurve bow Made Of. The riser that is central is the central mount for other parts including the limbs, stabilizers, sights and quivers, and is largely composed of magnesium or aluminum. Most risers are made from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum alloy, and designed to be as rigid as you can. The limbs are made of composites or composite materials – which are made from two or more constituent materials of distinct physical or chemical properties engineered to make a more powerful and better component, and are effective at taking high tensile and compressive forces. All of the energy generated by a bow that was drawn is kept in the limbs – not in the pulleys and cables.
Common arrangement of the recurve bow presents a cam or wheel at each end of the limb, which may differ from different bow layouts. Using how the cams store energy has changing notions which fall under a group called bow eccentrics. The most common forms of bow eccentrics are the Single Cam, Hybrid Cam, Binary Cam, and Dual Cam. The designs that are common will be Quad Cam and the Hinged.
The recurve bow strings and cables are usually manufactured from high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE), an extremely tough material with very high impact strength, exceptionally resistant to corrosive chemicals and abrasion, extremely low moisture absorption, is self-lubricating, and has significantly lower coefficient friction than nylon. It is tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic, and is comparable to Teflon. Earlier models had plastic-coated steel cables.

MIAMI (AP) - The U.S. and Dominican Republic have signed an agreement to share millions of dollars in forfeited assets from a major Medicare fraud scheme.
Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday the two countries will share $7.5 million initially and could divide up to $30 million more in seized assets. The assets in the Dominican Republic include 20 real estate properties such as a water park, motel complexes and waterfront condominiums.
The fraud case in Miami involves brothers Carlos, Luis and Jose Benitez. They are accused of conspiring to defraud Medicare out of $80 million. The brothers were declared fugitives in 2008 and are believed by prosecutors to be in Cuba.
Holder is also visiting Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados in the Caribbean this week.

text: Same Songs, Different Meaning for Team Obama in Denver Print article Send a Tip by Craig Silverman 25 Oct 2012 post a comment "Like a fool I went and stayed too long" Tuesday, I was in my downtown Denver law office with lots of work to do. But I had my free ticket for the Romney/Ryan/Kid Rock event at Red Rocks Amphitheater. It was a gorgeous autumn day, so I left before five and had smooth sailing west until I got a couple miles from Denver's famous natural amphitheater. There, the line of vehicles became massive. Law enforcement informed me and many thousands of others that the event was already full. Like a fool, I had stayed at work too long. Mitt and Paul would play Red Rocks without me, just like John and Paul and their Beatle friends had done back in 1964. I was happy heading home because the crowd was so huge, and I want Romney to win. Besides, I had seen Romney and Ryan plenty in Colorado. Months ago, during our Colorado primary, I interviewed Romney numerous times on the radio. The governor lost that contest and got glitter bombed but persevered to win the nomination. Romney has never lost his cool in Colorado. I was a bit upset though about not seeing Kid Rock. I wanted to hear this verse sung by him for Romney as the sun set at Red Rocks. Calm, facing danger, Lost like an unknown stranger, Grateful, for my time with no regrets. Close to my destination, Tired, frail and achin', Waitin' patiently for the sun to set. And when it's done believe that I Will yell it from that mountain highhh! [Chorus:] I was born free! I was booooooorn free I was born free, born free. Governor Romney's Red Rocks crowd was huge, but not close to the Denver's Civic Center Park crowd of more than 100,000 people who gathered on Oct. 26, 2008 for then-Sen. Barack Obama. Right then and there, you could sense Obama would win Colorado. And he did so easily. Obama's campaign theme music in 2008 featured Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen. It all seemed so fresh. Obama had been upbeat and bipartisan back then. Remember how he jumped to our attention on July 27, 2004, keynoting the Boston DNC, telling us how there were no red states or blue states, but just the United States of America. Soaring and inspirational words, but not entirely true if you count Colorado. Colorado means "colored" in Spanish. Perhaps our namers noticed Red Rocks. Romney left the sunny Mile High City Wednesday morning. Obama arrived shortly thereafter. So did the clouds. The two candidates did not meet in Denver this time, but who can forget the drubbing Obama endured earlier in October at the Denver Debate. Wednesday was overcast with Denver's City Park as the venue for the Obama rally. This event was nowhere near capacity, and was miniscule compared with Obama's crowd four years prior. This day, I was on bicycle, and even though I was a little late again, I had the speed and maneuverability to get close. I saw the smallish crowd and heard the President rapidly wrapping up his speech as heavy storm clouds blew in. Obama sounded angry at the end. Not upbeat. Zero inspiration. It displayed the kind of contemptuous agitation we witnessed on Monday night at his Florida foreign policy debate. You would have thought that Romney had been the bad President for the last four years. Obama's crowd still cheered at the end, and the campaign music blasted on cue as the President went for the rope line. Little Stevie and then, the Boss. Like a fool I went and stayed too long. Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong. This time, the words of the songs all seemed to have double meanings. This President has good reason to wonder whether our love's still strong. Earlier in the day, the White House's lies about Libya further unraveled as e-mails from 9.11.12 were published. Springsteen's new song, "We Take Care of Our Own," followed "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," and the Boss' lyrics made me think about the crony capitalism of Solyndra and Abound Solar. Obama signed the Recovery Act stimulus legislation at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science back on February 18, 2009. Where did all our money go? I've been knockin' on the door that holds the throne I've been lookin' for the map that leads me home I've been stumblin' on good hearts turned to stone The road of good intentions has gone dry as bone We take care of our own We take care of our own Wherever this flag's flown We take care of our own The Springsteen song also brought to mind Ambassador Chris Stevens and his American colleagues in Benghazi. Our U.S. flags got taken down by Islamists on 9.11.12, and four of our own were murdered by terrorists. Did we take care of our own? President Obama must sense the knocking on his door by Mitt and Paul and the majority of people in Colorado. This is the "red state" where so much of Obama's fortunes have been determined. The President sits precarious on his throne and does not deign to address America about crony capitalism or the Libyan lies. Wednesday evening, the storm let loose on Denver. We need fresh snow.

Nikon points D7000 camera at high-end enthusiasts
Nikon hauled in London's camera and tech press corps yesterday to show off its latest DSLR, the Nikon D7000. We shall post a review soon enough, but for now, here's a run down of the spec. Positioned between the Nikon D90 and the D300s, this 16.2mp camera is aimed at enthusiasts who are willing to pay £1100 for a body only or £ …
What? No sample photo's?
I'd have figured El Reg would have gotten their hands on one to really take it for a test drive.
The flame because the article was too short and a full review needs to happen. :-(
Go here :)
Re: What? No sample photo's?
All in good time, all in good time.
The specialist camera sites get first dibs, not always, but mostly. Of course,they have been in the camera review game much longer than us - we have to earn some more stripes before we get kit on pre-release.
"We shall post a review soon enough, but for now, here's a run down of the spec."
numbering scheme?
I don't understand Nikon's numbering scheme now. It used to be that fewer digits was better, now the D7000 is supposed to be better than the D90.
No, it wasn't.
It was D# (professional level), D### (mid level), D## (entry level). Now they've rolled entry and mid into D####.
That's probably a bit of an oversimplification, since the D### series are more than just mid level.
Also, they haven't rolled the D### in to the new D#### series. I don't know what I was thinking...
You could have least have read the first paragraph.
"We shall post a review soon enough, but for now, here's a run down of the spec."
I've been waiting for ages for Nikon to come out with an FX format camera that is actually affordable. This is just the right price point, but it is DX. Why put a 16 MP sensor on a DX format camera. I don't understand them at all. Canon have an affordable full frame sensor - why not Nikon.
Try the D700
Not as expensive as the D3 but one very , very nice package
Not sure
But would it be the Nikon equivalent of the Canon 7D or is that taken by another model.
Agree with the poster who commented on the naming scheme.
Why not?
Because it would cost twice as much. Full frame sensors aren't cheap.
And before someone trots out Moore's Law to "prove" that they will quickly become orders of magnitude cheaper than they are today, no matter what you do to the size of a transistor, a full frame sensor is still 36mm x 24mm.
incorrect position in the lineup
It's not between the D90 and D300s -- it's the D90 replacement. Look at the photo blogs and you can confirm this. The D90 has been dropped and is no longer in the channel.
Enquiring minds...
are curious about the mega pixel count.
I know that with cameras of a high enough grade, it doesn't really matter, but I'd still like to know....
It does matter
A top-end DSLR camera with a 5Mp sensor will produce far better pictures than a 10Mp compact almost across the board.
However, whether or not a 16Mp sensor is better quality is just one factor. All other things being equal, including lens quality, noise level and sensor size/quality then the more pixels the sharper the picture.
It's like looking at hi-fi amps. You get a low-end one with lots of knobs and gauges and compare it with a high-end one with just a volume control. The low-end one might look cool and have an impressive spec, the high-end amp will just blow the socks off the competition in terms of sound quality.
There's one thing I bang on about, and that's shutter lag.
Nikon quote it, may this set a trend.
And it is 0.052 seconds, which is good ( that's why they quote it ).
I would imagine that all the existing Nikon compatible lenses would fit this digital back.
However: this doesn't really seem to be a camera that targets professional photographers (D3X is more than 6 times the price), so I don't know how many lenses the potential buyers would already have.
Exchange Rate??
$1200 in US
€1200 in Europe
Canon still losing the race
Given this model is clearly designed to occupy the ~£800 point on the street, this is a rather more impressive introduction than Canon's lacklustre 60D. (Spoken as a Canon user :( )
Ain't Competition Grand?
Also speaking as a Canon user, this should give them a kick up the arse. This does look likely to occupy a price point above the 60D however. I have a feeling the 60D will in time dispell some of the initial, and I believe irrational, disappointment, but I'd be seriously looking at the D7000 if I weren't wedded to Canon.
Now pardon me while I go out and buy that 7D I've been eyeing off for so long.
"Full HD Video" Deceptive
Sure it can do 1920x1080 progressive video ... at 24 frames per second only. Great if you're making a movie for projection in cinemas but not so good for display on a TV screen. To get 25fps or 30fps matching TV standards you have to switch down to 1280x720 resolution. Given the tiny difference between 24 and 25 this has to be a limitation driven by marketing and not by technology. In due course Nikon will presumably have something that can to 1080p25 and 1080p30 but at a higher price.
24p is Blu-ray compatible, not aware of any films at a higher rate
I would have thought that, at 24p, being compatible with the professional film industry that uses this frame rate with higher end equipment can only be a bonus.
This provides enthusiasts and indie-film makers an easier path (not having to convert framerates, with potentially dubious results) to publishing and airing their content. For once this decision appears to be driven by standards rather than technology or marketing.
1080p30 and 1080p25 and higher obviously have benefits with higher frame rates but 24p appears to be the most common standard of Blu-rays and films, even though other rates are defined.
Don't 24p Blu-ray films look good on a TV then?
Of course, I could be completely wrong if distributing films is over the internet - where frame rate support might be more flexible and variations supported. YouTube has a 1080p but also a mode called 4K - for content made by high end Red cameras.
Read a debate about 24p vs other frame rates here:
"HD Camcorders: all not 24p capable for archive direct to Blu-ray: thoughts?"
Lack of 25p and 30p is a "bonus"?
Must be some strange definition of bonus with which I'm unfamiliar.
Time limit on length of video?
Hopefully they've not capped the duration limit, it just fills up the capacity of the memory card.
Earlier cameras had a deliberate time limit to avoid EU Duty on camcorder classification.
FAT32 card limit, if used, can be overcome by auto-splitting the continous growing recording into separate files with a playlist metafile to link and order them, as PVRs might do.
'Clip' in the official spec seems ominous though :(

One would think that Cena staying for the race would provide The Rock with a lot of ammunition for his promo tonight, due to Cena always saying that Rock only comes "via satellite."
UPDATE: John Cena posted the following on stating that he would, be leaving Daytona to attend Raw…
Well NASCAR i tried. But if youre gonna run your race on monday night..ive got other plans. Leaving #raintona going to #RAW
If #raintona starts on tues, ill be there. But they have to understand. Dwaynes at raw. This is big. He doesnt show up....ever.
For what it's worth, it's supposed to rain all day/night in Daytona. I'd be surprised if they get the race in at all today. It's very possible Cena will fly to Portland tonight for RAW and then back to Daytona tomorrow to start the race if it's rained out tonight.

Score from 3529 reviews Very good
Loved the big rooms. Great that htere were no casinos inside the Hotel, so less noise and people. Was walking distance to Casinos and public transport.
I know majority of the people use credit cards for everthing, but everyone should be given the opertunity to use cash at the bar, and the store inside of the Hilton Suites.
Fully serviced apartment with kitchen, even a washing machine & dryer.. We were overly satisfied with everything that we had on hand, lovely pool area
At the end of the strip so a bit of a walk to get there but fine otherwise, no casino in a hotel..
We' ve liked the location- on the las vegas strip but far from noises, the room was big and furnished for cooking and do laundry. Fabolous!
The girl at the front desk spoke us too fast also if we asked her to do it slowly-The other People of the staff were nice and kind
hotel in las vegas to relax in swimming and free from gambling.
poor breakfast
Great room, large space, clean, useful kitchen and good wi-fi signal.
It's not as close to The Strip as other hotels. However, there's a Deuce Bus stop just outside the hotel (about US$ 8 day pass), so we could move easily through Vegas.
The hotel has all of the facilities needed to be comfortable and to spend relaxing days in Vegas. Cleanliness Staff was excellent 24 hs Gym Market in the first floor for any need Pool was nice and big Though it does not have oven, a little kitchenet is provided.
The pool is not always sunny
1. Funky smell in room 2. A random person used a key to open our door within 5 minutes of arriving to our suite 3. The property is sketchy at night. It is a long walk up the driveway to main entrance and one night I came across a homeless person on the actual property.
I like the location, it's on the strip but not to where the crowd is buzzing around all the time. I also like the fact it does not have a casino. If I wanted to gamble I can always go to hotels nearby.
Unlike other hotels, HGV does not really have a proper area for breakfast in the morning. Even 3 stars hotel that offer breakfast have a nice little buffet that you can help yourself with coffee, tea, cereals, yogurt, toast, eggs etc. that are spread out to your choice. The area is not very conducive to a relaxing breakfast in the morning. Breakfast is better set up in most hotels in Europe, why can't it be the same with HGV?
This resort provided us the opportunity to relax and enjoy the sun in quiet. We also had the chance to take the convenient monorail into the hub of the strip and enjoy that too.
Pool closed too early. Waves was closed for the season. Needed more variety in the Marketplace. Makeshift bar in lobby was not stocked properly. These are minor issues compared to the wonderful time we had.
Liked the hotel and staff. All very accommodating and professional. Clean room with everything we needed for our weekend.
Kind of a long walk from all of the action. However it will be much better when the rest of the hotels are finished being built.
Everything was perfect.
sofa bed should have more padding
The staff were helpful and the wifi was free and fast. The location was good as it was away from noise and crwods but we could easily access the main strip areas in a matter of minutes, on the cheap bus. It is also close to Stratosphere amd Vegas Machine Gun experience. The pool and spa areas were great after a long day of walking around seeing the sites. The room was large quiet and comfortable, and the full kitchen was great value.
I did not like receiving a welcome a welcome package and then being "invited" to get cheap tickets for shows and dinners if we attended a timeshare presentation. We got approached enough in the streets of the USA without being approached in our lobby. When we asked the concierge about booking tours we were brushed off if we wanted to do anything other than the shows they could give discounts for.
Great place to stay if you want to get away from the craziness of the strip.
The area between the hotel and the strip is developing. It's a bit spooky to walk back with drunk people in the streets.
We booked a suite, with full kitchen facilities, additional lounge. Excellent. Hotel facilities/pool were great. Would recommend if you want a hotel in a quieter location and are happy to walk a fair distance to the main hotels/casinos etc.
Didn't expect it to be quite as far down the strip - took approx. 30 mins to walk to beginning of strip. Could have done without the 'time share' sell, after a long drive!
There is no casino in the hotel which makes it quiet and smoke free. Rooms are very big and equipped with all necessary facilities.(including a blender in the kitchen)
Due to the location of the surrounding buildings, there are not so many sunny hours in the pool.
Staff friendly and most helpful; great facility.
Location - walk to other venues was uncomfortable (did not feel safe) and caused us to cab back or our return.
I booked a room there over two months ago. About 2 hours later I called to cancel because I changed my mind. You mean to tell me, that room couldn't be filled in 2 month's. They refused to refund my money. That's just bad business and I would never book a room with the Hilton ever again.
No Casino. Comfortable Kitchen. The family rooms (for 6) are on the high floors (from 32 and up) , so you have a nice view (althogh you can't see a lot of the strip since the view is blocked). 2 FB + Jacuzzi (in the room?!)
You pay for the parking (since there is no casino...). We were twice there on the same trip. On the second stay our room (23202) had some lighting and cleanliness problems.
No noisy, smoke filled casino to walk through. Clean, comfortable room. Pool area.
Self Parking fee (most other hotels have free self parking), and distance from strip.
The room the food the drinks the pool the setting the location all were just right. We will never stay anyplace else again while in Vegas
the time share pitch
Staff was great, the room and bed was very comfortable and clean.
nothing everything was great.
You come to appreciate staying in a hotel without a casino after being in Vegas for more than a day because there are so many and they are so busy and smell of cigarette smoke so this place is a break from all that and it is in a quieter part of the trip so its more of a holiday. It has a great pool area and the rooms are of a high standard with everything you expect. Self catering ability with kitchenette was a bonus.
It is very limited in terms of dining and bars. You need to go elsewhere for this but its not a big deal because you are in Vegas so you have a lot of choice.
No casino and good facility's to make some food in room.
Reliable fast Wifi big rooms well appointed interiors public transport stop at Hotel newspaper each day printing facilities feels like a home

A gluten free, dairy free Tuna Casserole. I came up with this because Tuna Casserole is a comfort food for me, but I can no longer eat the gluten-full pasta or make it with the creamed soup that my recipe calls for.

GRAYSON COUNTY, TEXAS -- Just this morning, Grayson County commissioners, city leaders and health department officials got together to talk West Nile.
County judge Drue Bynum says West Nile is not an emergency situation in Grayson County yet.
The county currently has four confirmed cases of West Nile and one that's probable.
The group collectively decided to monitor those cases and educate the public about how to prevent being bitten.
Bynum says residents need to take the threat of West Nile seriously by taking precaution.
"Such as spraying with a repellent that has deet, because deet is very effective. Wear long sleeve shirts, wear long pants. Dump the water that's standing in my yard over," Bynum said.
Grayson County does not currently have a vector control department to control mosquitoes.
