SEC.-LT. ITZIK COHEN holds a Sky Rider drone before takeoff .
(photo credit:YAAKOV LAPPIN)
It was no ordinary takeoff. One soldier stepped backwards, holding a gray Sky Rider Drone connected to a sling, while a second held a digital wind gauge and communicated with a base station."Twenty knots. Hold off on takeoff, the wind is too strong," the second soldier said, acting as a one-man control tower.Soon, the winds died down and permission was given to take off. The first soldier released the drone and, within seconds, it disappeared. Then its quiet electric engine became inaudible, although the drone was hovering nearby.At the base station, high-quality color video feed from the drone came in on one screen. Another screen displays the drone's position for the controller.This is the Sky Rider unit in action, a small team of Artillery Corps soldiers operating a tactical drone that is providing a growing advantage to the IDF."We're a small airpower unit, but we're part of the ground forces," explains unit commander Sec.-Lt. Itzik Cohen.At any time, one of the units may be on the border with Gaza, Lebanon or Syria. It can join a special forces unit or take part in larger-scale combat, as it did during Operation Pillar of Defense in November, when the drones provided high-quality, detailed intelligence on what was going on in the Gaza Strip."We can show infantry units what's happening on the ground two hours before they enter an area. We show them what's around the corner and behind the wall," Cohen says.The Sky Rider is relatively new, having officially entered into operation in 2010.The unit is not only about providing intelligence, but also helps ensure highly accurate fire from an array of ground forces."We can broadcast coordinates of targets to tanks or cannons and then hover in the air to see if the targets have been struck. If there's a miss, we can report that in real time and direct the next strike to target," Cohen says."We're a green [army] unit that operates in the sky," he adds.Asked why the unit was developed as part of the Artillery Corps, Cohen says, "We're a very technological corps, known for accuracy in fire power. We use cutting-edge radar systems and specialize in employing technology in a good way."Due to its small size, the Sky Rider drone does not require a takeoff or landing strip.The units are highly mobile and can be dispatched to assist any force."The units can load the drone and equipment on their backs and simply walk to where they need to go," says Cohen."We don't have to be adjacent to ground forces to assist them. We can provide intelligence from kilometers away. That's a very significant advantage."Cameras on board the drone include one that provides thermal imaging, allowing nighttime observation.And there are plans to link the Sky Rider drone to the IDF's Digital Ground Army system, which creates a computer-generated map that shows movement of friendly and hostile forces in real time.Despite its uniqueness, the unit has yet to make a name for itself. "When I'm asked where I serve and I say 'Sky Rider,' they say they haven't heard of it," Cohen says with a smile.Nevertheless, Cohen says he finds his service highly satisfying. "We work with a wide range of forces and elite units. We get to know the army from a different vantage point, in a way others don't. And we operate a drone. It gives me satisfaction, knowing that I did something significant for the country's security."The unit is also called into action when there is an alert about an intruder from hostile territory, such as from Gaza. The drone can become airborne in a matter of minutes and send live video feeds to the control room of a regional infantry brigade tasked with finding the infiltrators.The drone can hover for up to two hours, at varying heights. "It's so small that it can't be seen. Nor can it be heard, since its engine is electric and quiet. Those being watched don't know it is there," Cohen says.Its slow speed and small size mean that the drone is also invisible to radar.Sky Rider is playing an increasing role in counter-terror raids in the West Bank, sending down images of villages as arrests occur. Its video images have been used to conduct surveillance of rioters and later help prosecute them in court.The drone is part of the Ground Forces Command's initiative to have as wide a range of capabilities as possible available in house rather than relying on the air force, which could cause delay in operations.In any conflict with Hezbollah, Sky Rider units will march with ground forces into Lebanon to provide vital aerial support.Should the units enter a dense Lebanese forest, the drone will be launched from Israeli territory and be "taken over" by a Sky Rider unit inside Lebanon.These possibilities require the unit's members to be in good physical shape.During training, they march 70 kilometers, while carrying 50 kilograms each."Our aim is to move by foot. When we enter Lebanon, we'll be walking together with an infantry brigade and we'll have to carry the equipment on our backs," Cohen says. "We train intensively, so that each member of the crew can carry out all the roles."After about an hour, it's time for Sky Rider to land. At an altitude of 70 meters, the drone produces an air bag and receives an order to cut power to its engine. It plummets to the ground, ready to go back up again soon.

Can the Texas Railroad Commission keep up with the oil and gas industry?
Drilling Down
- Deon Daugherty
- Senior reporter- Houston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Like the industry that it regulates, the 122-year-old Texas Railroad Commission is going through a bit of a metamorphosis.
The state agency, which oversees the oil and gas industry, hasn't been in the railroad business for years. Until the shale boom transformed the Texas energy industry from one that some might've said was in its twilight into a renaissance of development and production, the misnomer was just one of those things that makes state government in Texas state government in Texas.
But one of our local lawmakers, state Rep. Dennis Bonnen, R-Angleton, has filed a bill in the Texas Legislature to help bring the agency up to date. For one, he's trying to restructure the three-member commission's campaign fund-raising. Each member is elected statewide to a six-year, staggered term. He would also like to see the agency's moniker change to something that accurately reflects what it does.
Bonnen is a member of the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission. Just two years ago, the group of 12 lawmakers, which evaluates the performance and necessity of various agencies, found the agency lacking, not just in name, but also in deed. The sunset commission's rebuke of the agency stung, but ultimately, the Legislature didn't act on it in 2011.
Bonnen's House Bill 2166 is revisiting some of those ideas.
"It's important because they regulate one of the most important industries in the state. Oil and gas is one of the reasons our state is doing so well economically. The budget is strong because of the economic prosperity created by oil and gas," Bonnen said, adding that some parts of the state are experiencing the business for the first time and the public needs to know who to call when there's a question.

Like Twitter, recent Triangle IPOs took path of secrecy
- Lauren K. Ohnesorge
- Staff Writer- Triangle Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
(Page 2 of 2)
And it seems to be working. IPO analysts have credited the JOBS law with the uptick in overall IPOs in 2013, in the Triangle and beyond.
By using the exemption and filing in secret as "emerging growth,†Twitter is telling the world that it has less than $1 billion in annual revenue far less than other internet giants such as Facebook (Nasdaq: FB).
It's also telling the world, through that tweet, that it's being very calculated about its press coverage.
And it's something we could see again.
"Tweeting these days is a lot like issuing a press release,†Verdonik points out.
Don't expect Twitter to be the last to reveal IPO plans via social media.

News that the 2018 World Cup will be played in Russia is stirring some alarm, as a rise in neo-Nazi activity and racist killings in the country have led many soccer fans of color to wonder aloud if Russia is an appropriate place to host the international tournament.
A country founded on anti-royalism and defined by anti-aristocrat political rhetoric will naturally profess disgust for, say, Ivy League presidential candidates and Duke basketball.
AP / Matt Sayles
The NCAA Tournament is the highest-level single-elimination event in basketball, making it special. Nevertheless, in the Big Dance's present incarnation, other words come to mind, like bloated, over-commercialized and bland.

Tiger Woods' intermission is coming to a close. On Tuesday, Woods confirmed reports that he would be hitting the green again at next month's Masters tournament in Augusta, Ga.

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
Abu Dhabi developers Aldar Properties and Sorouh Real Estate will trade as a merged entity from June 30 with a capital of 7.86 billion dirhams ($2.1 billion), the Abu Dhabi exchange said in a statement on Sunday.
The opening base price of the merged entity will be the closing price of Aldar on the final trading day of June 27, the statement added. Aldar shares fell 4.4 percent on Sunday but have risen nearly 77 percent year-to-date.
Sorouh, the smaller among the two property firms, would be delisted from the Abu Dhabi bourse on June 30.
The boards of the state-linked rivals agreed on a merger in January and the deal was expected to be completed by end-June.
Earlier this month, the companies said a three-month period for Sorouh's creditors to object to the proposed merger had expired without any objections being raised.

Bravo's WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE to Broadcast from SXSW, Week of 3/10
Bravo Media proves everything is bigger in Texas as its interactive, late-night talk show, "Watch What Happens Live," hosted by Andy Cohen, travels to the 20th Annual SXSW Interactive Festival in Austin for five shows beginning the week of March 10th. Hijinks and hilarity will ensue as Cohen, with shotski in tow, rubs elbows with the who's who of SXSW.
One of late night's most buzz worthy talk shows, "Watch What Happens Live," is a program with deep digital roots having initially launched as a web series in 2007. Since then, it has evolved into a multi-night, on-air success, which boasts one of late night's most digitally engaged audiences in cable.

Why do christians join the military?

Nothing in scripture precludes participation in the military
Anonymous Coward
Really? I thought Christians were instructed to be imitators of Christ. Assuming this to be true, then how about these verses?
Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. (Matthew 5:44)
Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Matthew 5:39)
All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. (Matthew 26:52)
When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies...Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. (Luke 21:20-21)
Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's. (Matthew 22:21) [To whom does the life of man belong? God, or Caesar?]
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. (Romans 12:17)
And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. (Romans 8:9) [Didn't Jesus willing lay down his life rather than defend it? Could he not call down thousands of angels to prevent his death, but he refused the temptation?]
Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. (1 Corinthians 11:1) [Did the apostle Paul defend his life using a sword? Did any of Jesus' disciples?]
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." (Romans 12:19)
Must I go on and on?
the Ten Commandments. In truth, the commandment is to not "murder", very different from killing to protect ones own life
Anonymous Coward
The choice to render the Hebrew "rtsh" as "murder" is only found in the modern translations. For hundreds of years, the English translations rendered the sixth commandment, "Thou shalt not kill." Keep in mind, the word "murder" is actually a legal term, and what constitutes murder varies from locality to locality.
I'd suggest that Anonymous Coward read chapter 31 of the book "Blood Guilt: Christian Responses to America's War on Terror" (see Amazon.com or New Covenant Press ( [
link to covenant.nu
] ). Chapter 31 is aptly titled "Thou Shalt Not What?" It has a very lengthy exposition of this question regarding the sixth commandment.
I hope this helps.
Has anyone ever read the Old Testament it was full of wars.

In this lyrical, absorbing, award-winning novel, nothing is as it seems, and every clue leads to more questions.
At age eleven, Taylor Markham was abandoned by her mother. At fourteen, she ran away from boarding school, only to be tracked down and brought back by a mysterious stranger. Now seventeen, Taylor's the reluctant leader of her school's underground community, whose annual territory war with the Townies and visiting Cadets has just begun. This year, though, the Cadets are led by Jonah Griggs, and Taylor can't avoid his intense gaze for long. To make matters worse, Hannah, the one adult Taylor trusts, has disappeared. But if Taylor can piece together the clues Hannah left behind, the truth she uncovers might not just settle her past, but also change her future.

I understand that no gun laws will prevent this kind of shooting. And I do not
advocate any gun laws that look to ban guns (an none are seriously being
However, we see countless incidents that would typically be a fistfight and yield a black eye, turn into a death because someone has easy access to a gun.
I know many that feel that if EVERYONE were armed we would have less violent crime. I believe that more people "packing" leads to greater use and simple disagreements all too easily turn in to deaths.
This case is a perfect example. The Trevon Martin case is another.

Sunday, February 12, 2012
Since it's springtime in Arizona, I went to Home Depot yesterday for some yard and gardening supplies: potting soil, pansies, a gnome. I also needed to make an adult purchase: a wheelbarrow. My dad had told me several years ago that I wouldn't have the strength to handle a real wheelbarrow, so I had taken his advice and settled for a hauling device he deemed more appropriate for his delicate girl: a gardening cart. This was basically the Big Wheel of yard work, made of thick green plastic with four thick wheels, very non-tippy.
My Big Wheel garden cart lasted about two years before the Arizona sun cracked it all to pieces, which I stuffed into my recycle bin because only bodies go in the Dumpster. I made do with a canvas tarp after that, tied to a rear belt loop and loaded down with mounds of clay and tools like shovels and spades. This I would drag between the front yard and the back yard, and sometimes out to the alley, fighting my way forward using all my strength. After a brief hospitalization I gave up this hauling technique, thus commencing my search for a grown-up wheelbarrow.
A very nice gentleman at Home Depot helped me look for one yesterday, which took a half-hour because as a new employee, he wasn't sure yet where everything was located. I followed "Robert" from Lumber to Paint to Garden, and still we could not find the wheelbarrows. Finally we were directed outside to the front of the store where many wheelbarrows sat on display, chained together to prevent their escape. We couldn't play with them until Robert found someone with a key.
With the wheelbarrows finally unlocked, Robert started to explain the positives and negatives of plastic vs. steel, wood handles vs. metal ones, a shallow basin vs. a deep one. "You wanna go with all-metal," he said, pulling out the biggest and most expensive wheelbarrow of the bunch. "Wood handles will crack, and plastic is junk. Metal will last ya, especially if you keep it covered."
My dad must have been napping back in Minnesota because his mind wandered into mine again. "Will I be strong enough to handle that without it tipping over?" I asked.
"I don't see why not," replied Robert. "Just put your heavy stuff towards the front and don't go too fast."
Then it was time for the question I hate but always have to ask, the question that sets me apart from macho guys everywhere: "Will it fit in my car?"
"What kind of car do you have?" asked the new employee Robert.
"A 2001 Hyundai Sonata," I replied.
"Shouldn't be a problem," he said. "I'll help you load it."
Robert pushed the wheelbarrow back inside the store so I could purchase it. I steered him away from the Returns counter when he tried to take me there and guided him towards the check-out area. "You really must be new!" I said.
"It's only my third day," he said, and it struck me then that Robert, in his late fifties, wasn't used to working at a place like Home Depot. He didn't look comfortable wearing the orange apron either.
Back out in the parking lot, Robert and I poked our heads into the trunk of my car and the backseat, looking for release levers and trying to determine which way the wheelbarrow would fit best. "Wow, your car is in really good shape!" he said.
"Thanks," I said. I hear that a lot. "I think the wheelbarrow will fit in the backseat," I said. "It's amazing what I've gotten in there."
"I think you're right!" agreed Robert. He maneuvered the huge yellow wheelbarrow over to my open back door, lifted the tire onto the backseat, and pushed forward with all his might. The wheelbarrow got stuck about halfway in, so he made some adjustments and gave it another good shove, and then another. I stood and watched with a furrowed brow until I had to say something. "YA KNOW ROBERT!" I began. "ROBERT-ROBERT-ROBERT! I don't think that's going in there."
"I think you're right," a sweaty and puffing Robert replied. "Let's try the trunk."
We worked together getting the wheelbarrow situated in the open trunk, where I held it in position while Robert ran to find some twine to tie it down. I expected him back in about an hour. As I waited, my gaze wandered from my shiny new industrial-sized wheelbarrow to my car's back door, still standing open. Something odd caught my eye: my window appeared to have rips in it. Rips.
I disentangled myself from the wheelbarrow and rushed to inspect the inside of the window, much as a mother might kneel at the bedside of her sick child. The damage was obvious: Robert had scraped off some of the window tint, torn the rubber door seal, shredded the vinyl, scratched the door jamb, and chipped the paint. Numbers started battling in my brain: My car is over ten years old and not perfect, and this is only Robert's third day. But before this there weren't any nicks in the vinyl, and now there's a twelve-inch gash. I've been here for two hours and will leave with hundreds of dollars in damage. What price will Robert pay? I didn't know what to say. I stood up to face Robert, who by then was standing silently behind me.
"Looks like I damaged your car," he said quietly.
"I know. But it was my idea that you put the wheelbarrow in the back seat."
"I should have known better," he said. "Let me get a manager."
He walked away and disappeared inside Home Depot while I stood in the parking lot and fretted. He emerged not long after with another man of about the same age. The manager did what managers do: frowned, pulled out his clipboard, and gave me some paperwork to fill out. As I did that, I overheard him say to Robert, "Wheelbarrows do not fit in the back seat." Robert didn't say anything. The manager added, "And neither do lawnmowers, if you're wondering."
There was no satisfaction in having to fill out a complaint form listing Robert as the culprit while he stood nearby getting scolded. He had only done what I'd suggested. But in fact it was his mistake, and he had caused this damage. It was simply too late for me to be a better person, if in fact I even could have been. I had missed my chance again.
I drove home slowly with a red hazard flag sticking out of my trunk, deserving of nothing more or less.

I totally understand how you feel, but Robert sure showed himself to be an upright guy by not making excuses and trying to worm out of it.ReplyDelete
Robert was definitely a good man.ReplyDelete
That's kind of a sad story, punctuated by your observation that Robert wasn't comfortable in that role. In my imagination, he was laid off from an accounting job and was trying to make ends meet for his frail wife. How's that for adding downer on downer? But I loved your line about only bodies going into the dumpster. Home Depot can afford to pay for your damages, I'm sure they've made a lot more off of you over the years. Update us with another post if you see Robert again, please.ReplyDelete
Lazarus...this one was supposed to be funny but it took its own direction towards the end. Nice to hear from you, by the way!ReplyDelete
Oh, I feel really bad for Robert.ReplyDelete
I read that sentence about rips in your window three times before moving on, thinking CERTAINLY I had misread something. But then, oh, so, sadly, all became clear. Tintedly clear.

Tourism Officials Optimistic About Fall Foliage Season
The seasons, and the foliage, is changing. Tourism officials are optimistic that the fall color will help make up for losses last year.
Last autumn, Vermont and northern New York were recovering from Tropical Storm Irene. Publicity kept some leaf-peepers away, and many businesses are hoping for a rebound this year. Vermont Department of Tourism And Marketing Commissioner Megan Smith says fall foliage is a crucial season for the state's economy.
In the Adirondacks, Lake Placid Convention and Visitors' Bureau and Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism Spokesperson Kim Riley reports substantial color is appearing in the High Peaks region.
There may be some brown patches, but experts predict this summer's dry spells will not hamper the fall colors and could even heighten them in some areas. Commissioner Megan Smith is optimistic about fall colors following a meeting with state foresters.
Paul Smiths' College Professor of Natural Sciences Curt Stager explained that yellow and orange colors are exposed as green photosynthesis stops, and the reds come out from leftover sugars created as the tree shuts down.
Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing Spokesperson Jen Butson notes that color changes are beginning in northern Vermont and higher elevations.
Vermont's Northeast Kingdom and central Vermont are seeing color developing, following a typical pattern, with northern areas and higher elevations first showing colors.

Score from 150 reviews Very good
Amazing view from the terrace, comfortable room, quiet and clean. Strategic location, you can go by feet in the old town just crossing the Galata bridge and you can walk to Galata Tower in 1 mins and to the center of the city (Istiklal Caddesi) in 5 minutes. Tram stop 500 meters from the hotel.
The staff is very helpful, they even provided gluten free bread upon my request. The hotel is nicely located to visit the city (we wanted to avoid historical tourist area, yet being in walking distance). The area is very quiet, no problem of noise. The beds are very confortable, room very clean
Not an area with lots of nice restaurant around - but you cant have quiet and lots of restaurant at the same time ;) The terrasse is not opened for breakfast during winter time
Hotel is very clean in a great location. Walking distance to the old city , just over the bridge. Staff and manager are very nice and helpful.
Comfortable and clean room. Perfect location, close both to the old city and to the Taksim area. Helpful and nice staff.
On the last day of our stay, the delicious buffet breakfast we previously enjoyed disappeared and we received a plate already prepared with what appeared to be the leftovers from the day before. We were told that there was no normal buffet breakfast because that morning there were few people in the hotel, like this was our problem or fault. We found it very disappointing.
everything particular the owner kind service
size of room little small
I was travelling with my mum and the staff was amazing - very friendly, welcoming, "can do" and striving to make our experience memorable. Example? The restaurant we wanted to go to was fully booked - they understood, what sort of diners we were and quickly recommended and arranged a great alternative (most probably even better than our original choice). The hotel has perfect location - central, yet quiet street. Galata tower, the Tunel, Taksim area, famous Spice Souq... all is in walkable reach. Rooms are tiny, but tidy and very nicely furbished. And not to forget: there is a roof-top terrace, which will offer amazing views as soon as it will be finished. Overall, this hotel offers a great value for money and we can highly recommend.
The breakfast buffet would deserve little bit more attention to detail - but yet again, the hotel's staff service attitude outperforms little hitches and glitches.
Staff was very kind and friendly, the hotel is a brand new facility, and we we were the first guests to stay in our room. Equipment in the room was high quality and we enjoyed the luxury of using brand new products. The location is very close to the historical and touristic places of Istanbul, it takes just a few minutes of walk to get to the places like Galata Tower and world famous places like Topkapi Palace and Blue Mosque is a few stops away by tramway. General Manager Mr. Serkan was so kind and helpful since the first minute of our arrival. Also staff was very polite and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and had enough choices for everyone. Me and my wife strongly recommend this hotel for newcomers.
Together with my daughter I visited Istanbul in the weekend of november 7 to 10 (2014) and we had a very late arrival (00.45). Staff was very helpful, friendly and we got a warm welcome! Rooms are nicely decorated and clean. Absolute value for money. Location is great, very close to public transport and walking distance to several nice shopping streets/area.
This is a new hotel with a really friendly staff. Each of their team members were so helpful which we really appraciate. Highly recommended!
I would only have a suggestion about not keeping terrace avaliable for the guests when it is still under construction.
Contact at time of booking and all aspects throughout 4 days were outstanding - airport shuttle, the design of all areas of the hotel from lobby to room, cleanliness, the impressive breakfast. location for transport and all major sites - and all the members of staff were truly superb and utterly professional. When the roof terrace is finished, the hotel will be even more exceptional.
Everything was just ideal
Spacious and nicely decorated rooms Excellent control of noise from surrounding area Superb room service A high standard of cleanliness Very good breakfast
Nice clean new hotel close to everything
Wide range to pick from, but Mediterranean (not my favorite) style.
Staff were excellent , Hotel was lovely and very clean. Well located to get everywhere.
Hospitality and cleanliness
Istanbul is one of the greatest cities I have ever been to, so one gets a bit critical on the accommodation side when there can be a lot of places and not all of them meeting good standards, 'Ada Karakoy' is not one of those, it's location is great, easy access up and into the shopping madness and restaurant heaven, but only a short stroll over the bridge to the old quarter and straight into the Spice Markets. The hotel is not the biggest in size but what it does have is great staff, new stylish room (yes a little on the small size) but hey, you are not in Istanbul to stay in your room, very swanky bathrooms and a shower to die for. I requested a quite room and was not disappointed (Room 505), the beds are very good, firm and relaxing at the same time, great bed linen (hey I like nice sheets etc and these are), breakfast was more than ample and the hotel is in a location where there are great places to eat as well. Looking forward to staying again in January and can truthfully recommend this to others
Great position, 100m from tram stop. Rooms just restored
wifi to be improved
We highly recommend Ada Karakoy Boutique Hotel We stayed here for 19 nights in October / November 2014 The breakfast buffet was incredible. We would rate this as one of the best hotel breakfasts we have ever had. A picture is worth a thousand words and the photos on the internet are accurate. The staff (owner, manager, front desk, dining room, chef and housekeeping) were all friendly, helpful and efficient. The location was perfect; close to the Galata Bridge on the Beyoglu side. Off the tourist track but walking distance to all the attractions. Also less than one block to the tram (T1), funicular (to Istiklal Avenue) and ferry (Golden Horn, Bosphorus Strait). We stayed in both a regular and deluxe room. Both were modern and comfortable. The major difference is the deluxe room is about twice as big. And the hotel will only get better. They were just finishing an enclosed terrace on the sixth floor and were starting construction of an open terrace on the seventh floor with great views.
The hotel is pretty new and very clean. The room was great for our needs: bed comfortable, bathroom very clean and shower powerful. As soon as we arrived at the hotel the staff were friendly and the most accommodating I have ever experienced, even more so than 5* hotels. They really looked after us and made a great impression of Istanbul. Thanks to everyone at ADA Karakoy!
We very much liked the hotel and our room. The hotel is near everything you need and few steps away from public transportation. The staff members were very friendly, professional and very helpful, we really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful boutique hotel.
The Wi-Fi connection needs to be improved in the room.
Super nice Hotel in the centre of Istanbul with a great view over the Bosporus. Very friendly and helpful staff.
There was 4 fantastic days in this fantastic hotel. The place was fantastic and the staff so friendly!!! The room was very comfortable and very clean. This wiil be my first choice in our next trip in Instabul!!! Thank you again for my birthday cake!!!!
Good location. Walkable distance to Istanbul Modern, Galata Bridge and the tram/metro stop at Karakoy. A 2 min underground tram takes you to Istiklal Road. A short ferry to the main tourist attractions in Sultanahment. Ferry from behind the hotel takes to Kadikoy and other parts by ferry. Best baklava shop in Istanbul is a stone's throw away. New hotel means a clean sheets and rooms. Breakfast is good. Avoid their over-brewed bitter chai. Staff is polite and tries to be helpful.
The rooms are small. We couldn't sleep well at night Room gets stuffy. You can't control the AC temp in the room as the entire floor temp is controlled by the staff at reception. The AC control in the room is for show. The hotel does not provide complimentary water after the first small bottle. The WI-Fi does not work well. The soap, bath gel etc in bottled dispensers dispensed poorly. The pump action didn't work well! The TV screen comes to life on it own even after you switch off power. A BIG problem at night.
The location is ideal. The hotel is clean and the staff is very friendly.
The hotel is situated near the old city. The tramway is not very far from the hotel. So you can walk to the city or take the tram. I liked the hotel, it is clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. This was the second time that I visited Istanbul, and I stayed in the same hotel, because the location is perfect.
Just between the old and the new city we found perfect. Culture in daytime in the old city and night life and modern restaurants in the new part. Friendly and helpful staff with good recommendations for nearby restaurants. Very clean, fresh and soundproof rooms.
Breakfast could be improved.

On tax breaks, change is in the air | Nation's Housing
Here is an overview of a plan by a Republican leader in the House that would do away with some real-estate tax benefits that many have taken for granted and considered untouchable.
Syndicated columnist
Nation's Housing
WASHINGTON — You may have seen reports about a major tax-reform proposal floated recently by Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
But you probably didn't see the grisly list of longstanding home real-estate tax benefits that would be eliminated or sharply reduced under Camp's plan.
Here's a quick overview. But first, some basics:
• This is no back-of-the-napkin set of proposals. Camp and his committee — the primary tax-writing panel in Congress — have been working on this for two years. They've held extensive public hearings and done significant research.
• Though Camp's reform package has zero chance of enactment in an election year, many of its core concepts are likely to reappear on Capitol Hill as early as 2015, when new leaders at both Ways and Means and the Senate Finance Committee take up fundamental tax reform.
• Even the most die-hard proponents of real-estate tax benefits concede that at some point, with the right combination of lower federal income-tax brackets and higher standard-deduction levels, housing's special carve-outs in the tax code will be less compelling to many homeowners.
Why itemize when you can just take the standard deduction and save more? Once this sinks in, the political support for retention of owners' unique tax privileges in the code will begin to crumble.
So what did Camp propose?
For the vast majority of individuals and corporations, enticingly lower marginal rates of 10 and 25 percent, plus a substantially increased personal standard deduction — $22,000 for married joint filers, $11,000 for singles.
Individuals with annual incomes above $400,000 and joint filers above $450,000 would pay taxes at a marginal rate of 35 percent.
In exchange, say bye-bye to the mortgage-interest deduction in its current form.
The $1 million limit on mortgage amounts that qualify for interest deductions would phase down to $500,000 in four annual steps, with no indexing to inflation. This would effectively diminish its value year after year as inflation takes its bites.
The good news on interest deductions: Anyone with an existing mortgage of $500,000 or higher on the date the tax bill takes effect would be grandfathered for the life of the loan.
The bad news: Interest write-offs on home-equity borrowings, currently limited to $100,000, would be prohibited unless the money was being used to improve your property.
Another set of changes Camp would make: He'd revise the present $500,000 and $250,000 capital-gains exclusions for profits on sales of home by joint filers and single filers, respectively.
Under today's rules, you can claim a tax-free exclusion once you've owned a home for two years out of the preceding five years and you can do so once every two years.
Under Camp's proposal, you'd need to own your house for five out of the preceding eight years to claim a tax-free exclusion and you could only exercise this privilege once every five years.
Capital-gains exclusions for home sellers with upper incomes — $250,000 a year for singles and $500,000 a year for joint filers — would be phased out altogether over a period of years.
Besides these, Camp's tax bill would:
• End all deductions for local property taxes, which he considers subsidies for excessive spending at the local government level.
• Eliminate credits for owners who make energy-saving improvements to their homes.
• End penalty-free withdrawals from IRAs to help fund first-time home purchases.
• Leave in limbo popular mortgage debt-forgiveness tax benefits used by large numbers of short-sellers and foreclosed owners in the past several years.
Camp's plan is silent on extending the benefits — which are currently expired, awaiting extension — but in this case silence would be fatal.
• Kill tax federal tax exemptions for state and municipal bond programs used to fund mortgages for moderate-income families.
Bottom line: Though preliminary action on tax reform is at least a year away, homeowners need to grasp a sobering, emerging reality: To pay for a streamlining of the ballooning federal tax code and provide lower rates on income, there's a chance that Congress will demand that you give up long-entrenched tax subsidies that have put homeownership on a pedestal, supported prices and sweetened the household finances of millions of Americans for decades.
Whoa. Didn't we all assume that homeownership is politically sacrosanct?
Right, but when the chief Republican tax writer in Congress proposes throwing out most of those perks, you've got to re-examine that assumption.

2 Live Crew vs. Everybody
2 Live Crew's raunchy music ran afoul of several local Florida officials. In response to a suit from the Broward County sheriff, their album, 1989's Nasty As They Wanna Be, was ruled obscene and therefore illegal to sell by a U.S. District Court. They were arrested when they performed defiantly at a local club, but were acquitted later in a high-profile trial.

Margarita Mondays
So I saw on Twitter that someone asked if La Cava if they still had Margarita Mondays! And they tweeted 'yes'. . .
I've seen in the past they've had specific flavors for specific Mondays. . .but I've also seen postings where any flavor margarita is discounted!
Tell me how it is CURRENTLY working. . .and do you predict this goes on all year or only during the slower seasons!?
Do you need to show some sort of proof to partake in the deal?
Yes, this is my second La Cava posting in recent weeks. . .this apparently is heavy on my mind these days. . . can't get enough!
Yes, it's still going on every Monday.
Yes, any margarita on the menu $10.
All you have to do is mention Margarita Monday.
Ole! I know where I'll be on May 13th!!! I think we have a La Hacienda ADR for that day....may never leave Mexico!!! Thank you for the info!!
