I cannot judge the game system yet, and i don't think it matters to me that much, not at the moment. But i don't think the general information about the DA world, characters, cultures etc, justifies the title 'RPG' for this game. Sorry. It feels like a fast play game, at least to me. I don't like difficult-to-read RPGs like some of WW games. But there is more info in the Computer Game than in the two books. No offence to anyone. Just a personal opinion.

gamedave wrote:There are three classes, Mage, Rogue, and Warrior, just like in the VG. So far, so good. Each class gives the character certain powers and abilities, similar to what's in the game. Each level gives the character more hit points, and new abilities and bonuses, which vary from class to class and level to level. That's kind of cool, and somewhat similar to how leveling works in the VG. But only the first five levels are provided! Talk about old school! This is the D&D Basic Set!
The original D&D Basic Set was really designed as an introduction to role-playing, with the expectation that players would "graduate" to AD&D, although its simplified version of the D&D rules proved so popular it was eventually expanded into a full-fledged RPG in its own right.
This boxed set, however, is not billed as an introduction to roleplaying. It is billed as the Dragon Age: Origins pen & paper RPG. Apparently, further sets will include rules for character advancement beyond fifth level. In today's game market, this is frankly inexcusable.
Yeah, D&D requires three hardbacks just for the core rules, but WotC is completely upfront about that, and those three books were available simultaneously, and comprised a complete, if somewhat circumscribed, game. You don't actually need any of the other books or the website to play a full D&D campaign. You will need at least one expansion set, possibly several, to play a full DA: O campaign.
I honestly feel cheated.
Menchi wrote:I get why some people have this nostalgic kick, but I was around the first time - it was a poor idea before and it still is. D&D did not benefit from the format, and I doubt DARPG will either.
Menchi wrote:I also think that if I can't, as a GM, start running my own take of the Origins storyline using DARPG - then Green Ronin have failed from the outset. Trying to use the VG to sell their boxed set places, in my view, an expectation that I can recreate my adventures from the VG as well if I so choose. That, for me, is a big central litmus test. If I can't make my PC from the game using DARPG - or any of the characters in my party - then it is failing at being faithful to the licence.

Wirkom, Evelyn Laika (1999) Management of Inorganic Input and Empty Fruit Bunches Towards Efficient Nutrient Use by Young Oil Palm. PhD thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
The mechanism governing the effect of oil palm EFB on yield have not been thoroughly investigated. Against this background, four experiments were set up; one in the laboratory and three in the field, in an attempt to determine the decomposition pattern of EFB, identify the quality factor(s) controlling EFB decomposition, determine the effect of EFB application on the leaching of N and uptake of N and K fertilisers. Results from the laboratory experiment indicate that, EFB decomposed in 3 distinct phases: viz. an initial immobilisation phase, a later immobilisation phase of reduced intensity and a final re-mineralisation phase. Stalks generally decomposed faster than the spikelets. In the field experiment, the decomposition rates and patterns of EFB component parts were relatively the same as in the laboratory. EFB-lignin, carbon, polyphenol and nitrogen dynamics were evaluated with time and all four-quality parameters showed a strong correlation with soil N dynamics. However EFB-N had a stronger negative (R2 = -0.95) relation (P=O.OI) with soil N dynamics. Application of EFB parts lead to a complete soil N immobilisation for the entire 36 weeks study while EFB tissue N increased with time. Evaluation of leaching of K, Ca, and Mg from EFB, using two sampling methods viz non-destructive sampling (NDS) and destructive sampling (DS) methods, indicated very high loses of K (87 - 88%), Mg (80 - 86%) and Ca (83 - 88%). For all treatments, K was lost at a much faster rate than Mg and Ca. A comparison of the two sampling methods showed that the NDS method was better as it accounted for higher quantities of nutrients leached.

WASHINGTON — Tea party conservative Sen. Ted Cruz ended his all-night talkathon to dismantle President Barack Obama's health care law after 21 hours and 19 minutes as legislation required to avert a partial government shutdown at midnight Monday easily cleared an initial Senate hurdle.
Weary after a day and night on his feet, Cruz simply sat down at 12 noon EDT on Wednesday, the predetermined time for the Senate to adjourn, as several of his colleagues applauded. Senate Republicans and some House members congratulated the Texas freshman.
Cruz actually joined every other senator in a 100-0 procedural vote to allow the measure to officially be lain before the Senate. He says Republicans should rally against the measure in a vote scheduled Friday or Saturday on whether to cut off a filibuster on the measure itself, a vote that promises to give Democrats controlling the chamber a procedural edge if Cruz is not successful in blocking them.
Cruz wants to derail the spending bill to deny Democrats the ability to strip a "defund Obamacare" provision out, a strategy that has put him at odds with other Republicans who fear that the move would spark a shutdown. After the vote, Cruz told reporters he hopes "that Republicans will listen to the people, and that all 46 Republicans come together. Coming into this debate we clearly were not united, there were significant divisions in the conference. I hope those divisions dissolve, that we come together in party unity."
He added: "Otherwise, I will say this: Any senator who votes with Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Democrats to give Majority Leader Harry Reid the ability to fund Obamacare on a pure 51-vote, party vote, has made the decision to allow Obamacare to be funded."
The Senate's top Democrat, Majority Leader Harry Reid, shrugged off Cruz' effort.
"For lack of a better way of describing this, it has been a big waste of time," said Reid, D-Nev.
Since Tuesday afternoon, Cruz — with occasional remarks by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and other GOP conservatives — has controlled the Senate floor and railed against Obamacare. At 10:41 a.m. EDT Wednesday, Cruz and his allies reached the 20-hour mark, the fourth-longest Senate speech since precise record-keeping began in 1900.
That exceeded March's 12-hour, 52-minute speech by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., like Cruz a tea party lawmaker and potential 2016 presidential contender, and filibusters by such Senate icons as Huey Long of Louisiana and Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
Cruz' hours of speaking now stands as the fourth-longest filibuster — a delaying tactic to prevent the Senate from passing legislation. However, Reid and others disputed that it was a real filibuster since the procedural voted forced an automatic end to the debate.
With no food or restroom breaks, his tie finally loosened, Cruz was helped by eight of his conservative allies who gave him brief respites by asking lengthy questions as permitted under Senate rules, though he was required to remain on his feet.
In a reflection of the limited GOP support for Cruz' effort, no members of the Senate leadership came to the Texan's aid.
Cruz said he has learned that defying party leaders is "survivable," adding, "Ultimately, it is liberating" and that his long evening involved "sometimes some pain, sometimes fatigue."
But he added, "You know what? There's far more pain in rolling over. ... Far more pain in not standing up for principle."
Republican leaders and several rank-and-file GOP lawmakers had opposed Cruz's time-consuming effort with the end of the fiscal year looming. Both Democrats and Republicans say they want to speed Senate action so that that the GOP-controlled House would have enough time to respond to the Senate's eventual action.
Two financial deadlines loom — keeping the government operating after Oct. 1 and raising the nation's borrowing authority. In a letter to Congress on Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said the government will have exhausted its borrowing authority by Oct. 17, leaving the United States with just $30 billion cash on hand to pay its bills.
That's a slightly worse financial position than Treasury predicted last month and it adds to the pressure on Congress to increase the government's borrowing cap to avert a first-ever U.S. default on its obligations.
The House-passed measure is required to prevent a government shutdown after midnight Monday and contains a tea party-backed provision to "defund" implementation of what's come to be known as "Obamacare". Cruz is opposed to moving ahead on it under debate terms choreographed by Democrats to defeat the Obamacare provision.
Senate rules are working against Cruz, who also has angered many GOP colleagues who complain privately that the freshman has set impossible expectations at the expense of other Republicans. Some of Cruz's leading allies include organizations like the Senate Conservatives Fund and the Club for Growth, organizations which frequently donate money to conservatives challenging more moderate Republicans in primaries.
At issue is a temporary spending bill required to keep the government fully open after the Oct. 1 start of the new budget year. Hard-charging conservatives like Cruz see the measure as an opportunity to use a must-pass measure to try to derail Obama's signature health care law.
In a direct rebuttal to Cruz, Republican Sen. John McCain offered a history lesson on how Republicans had tried to stop the health care law in 2009 and rejected Cruz' statement equating those unwilling to vote to stop Obamacare with Nazi appeasers.
"To somehow allege that many of us haven't fought hard enough does not comport with the actual legislation that took place on the floor of the Senate," McCain said in a Senate speech in which he noted that several of Cruz' allies were elected after the health care fight.
McCain read aloud Cruz' comments last night comparing his foes to former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin and others unwilling to take on Adolf Hitler and the Nazi government.
"I resoundingly reject that allegation," McCain said. "It does a great disservice to those Americans who stood up and said what's happening in Europe cannot stand."
Under pressure from Cruz and tea party activists, House GOP leaders added the anti-Obamacare language to the funding measure despite fears it could spark a partial government shutdown that could hurt Republicans in the run-up to midterm elections next year — just as GOP-driven government shutdowns in 1995-96 help revive the political fortunes of President Bill Clinton.
"I just don't believe anybody benefits from shutting the government down, and certainly Republicans don't," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. "We learned that in 1995."
Cruz took the floor at 2:41 p.m. Tuesday, vowing to speak until he's "no longer able to stand." Wearing black athletic shoes, he filled the time in a largely empty chamber, criticizing the law and comparing the fight to the battle against the Nazis. He talked about the Revolutionary War, the Washington ruling class and his Cuban-born father who worked as a cook.
Top Republicans like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Cruz's home-state GOP colleague John Cornyn say that on a second vote later this week, they will support ending Cruz's effort to derail the funding bill. That vote is crucial because it would allow top Reid of Nevada to kill the Obamacare provision on a simple majority, instead of the 60 votes often needed for victory.
Democrats control the chamber with 54 votes.
"I think we'd all be hard-pressed to explain why we were opposed to a bill that we're in favor of," McConnell told reporters Tuesday. "And invoking cloture on a bill that defunds Obamacare ... strikes me as a no-brainer."
The overnight debate included some diversions.
Despite his tenacity, Cruz did not surpass the longest Senate speech on record, a 24-hour, 18-minute filibuster by South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond against the civil rights act in 1957.

3 vye for open sheriff's seat
By 01/17/2008 00:00:00
The Ellis County Press
WAXAHACHIE - The race for Ray Stewart's old job features three Republicans vying for the chance to face a Libertarian in November.
The Republicans - Steve McKinney, James Ledbetter and Johnny Brown - face off March 4 in what has already been a blistering election season with allegations of extra-marital affairs, alleged illegal acts committed by sheriff employees and other forms of mudslinging.
However, the candidates for sheriff (Libertarian Mike Treis refused to answer questions pertaining to this story) have laid out detailed policy positions they hope will carry them over the top in the primary.
James Ledbetter, best known for his campaigns for sheriff as a Democrat in the early 90s, is running as a Republican this go-around and despite the criticism for that move, his campaign is focusing on his experience.
'I was hired by Sheriff Stewart 10 months after he took office and continue to work for him,' said Ledbetter, who started voting Republican in 2002. 'I have investigated criminal cases for 30 years, having successfully investigated capital [murder] cases, as well as many other types of cases… [County] Judge Chad Adams [told] me my background and experience was impeccable.'
Constable Steve McKinney, appointed to the Precinct 4 slot by county commissioners last year, assembled an all-star cast that he hopes will avoid a run-off like County Judge Chad Adams accomplished in 2002 in a five-way race for that seat.
With former Court at Law Judge Bob Carroll as his treasurer and former Ellis County Chronicle reporter LeAnn Brindle as his campaign manager, the stakes are set high for McKinney, a Department of Public Safety trooper for 23 years.
'Of course, I am a different person, with my own views, opinions and strengths,' McKinney said.
'Things will be different because I will lead in my capacity to bring about changes that emphasize what I believe is important to meet the needs of the public and the office.
'I will be a communicator, I will have an open administration and will be fiscally responsible with the taxpayers' money to bring the most effective programs and lead the department as a premier law enforcement agency.'
Quick response times for deputies, maintaining a constant presence in targeted neighborhoods and access to quick public information are also McKinney's high points, he said.
'I will also implement a very strong sex offender registration program,' he said. 'As a sheriff's deputy, one of my duties was sex offender registrant and I understand what is needed for a very strong program.'
Brown, a former narcotics investigator and current ECSO employee, said he sees no need for an increased staff at the department.
'The sheriff's office is dynamic,' said Brown, a Midlothian resident. '[We're] going to increase as population increases, but there are ways to slow the increase down. More training and performance standards that demands higher proficiency from personnel, [taking] advantage of volunteers and citizens that want to be a part of our community. They provide more eyes on the street without a salary.'
Brown said he wants to establish a Citizen's Crime Commission, Citizens On Patrol and an active youth Explorer's program.
His ideas also include creating a countywide special response team that would consist of an officer in each Ellis County law enforcement agency to provide a 'seamless response to any emergency anywhere in the county.'
McKinney, who also resides in Midlothian and will battle Brown for the majority of those conservative votes, also wants an Explorer's program, but his platform mirrors in some areas to that of Brown's.
'I will reinstitute the sheriff's posse to aid in search and rescue efforts,' McKinney said. 'I will update and address concerns within the chaplain services of the jail.'
McKinney said he also wants to create an opportunity for inmates to obtain their GED. 'I believe education is a major factor in rehabilitation.'
Ledbetter said his experience will set him apart from the pack. The winner of the March 4 primary will face token opposition in November from Libertarian Party candidate Mike Treis.
'I have experience in all areas of the sheriff's office,' Ledbetter, a Maypearl resident, said. 'I feel that my experience in administrative duties, such as budget preparation and expenditures of both the sheriff's office and the county jail have better prepared me for the duties of the office…I have not asked anyone to do anything that I haven't done or will do. I have made this sheriff's office my life and deeply care for the people of the office as well as the people of this county.'

The hostel is very very close to the historic centre and to the coach station. The hostel was very quiet (even when it was near the railway). The linens were a bit old (but clean), but everything else was fine. The wifi is working, and you can leave your luggage in the storage room after check out, which is great.

We booked a double room in Fortuna Hostel, so we were quite surprised to be taken to an apartment for four persons in the Old Town hostel, just down the street (same owners apparently). Reception was still at Fortuna, so it was a bit of a back-and-forth with the bags, but overall the staff were nice and it was a nice surprise to have a kitchen. Facilities in the apartment were quite basic, and not too clean, but overall fine.

Welcome back home...which is what The Queen is to us!
We are both platinum Cunarders, so not much to say but the ship lived up to expectations with TRUE White Star service. The crew and staff made us feel at home. One dining room maitre'd even remembered our names and this time it's been 26 months since our last visit! That was impressive and he didn't look, either as my partner uses his MIDDLE name as a name and not the passport (first) legal name so he didn't peek...he remembered!

As we read for this issue, we were drawn to a number of essays about, in some way, 'the senses'—hearing, sight. Or maybe it's more accurate to say they're about 'perception.' It just so happened that all of them were by women." And in correspondence with the cover, Gutkind says, "I think there are a lot of women writing serious nonfiction; they're just not getting the serious attention they deserve."
The first feature of the issue is a conversation between Cheryl Strayed and Elissa Bassist, titled "How to Write Like a Mother#^@%*&." Bassist is the young writer who requested advice from "Sugar" on The Rumpus's popular column and who received the now-famous response, "Not like a girl. Not like a boy. Write like a motherfucker." This feature is a conversation via email correspondence, two years later. It is both entertaining and insightful. At one point, Strayed addresses the gender bias in writing:
"I think gender bias exists in forms that are more discreet and ingrained. I've had an incredible experience with Wild. It's been received warmly by critics and readers alike. But a running theme has been how many men have said something along the lines of, 'Wow, I was so surprised I loved your book, because I'm a man.' These men mean no harm—I don't take those comments personally—and yet the fact that they were surprised that they loved a book by and about a woman is an indication of the sexism women writers are up against every time they write. It tells me that women writers are still perceived as less capable than men writers of telling the big universal human story."
The all-women essay section is comprised of Sara Dailey's "The Memory Train," Marissa Landrigan's "Elk Country," Mary Quade's "The Collection," Danielle R. SPencer's "Looking Back," Elizabeth Mosier's "The Pit and the Page," Brenda Miller's "Regeneration," and Pria Anand's "Far, Far Away."

Ceton Echo Windows Media Center extender won't support Android after all
Around nine months ago Ceton unexpectedly announced plans to support the Android operating system and apps on its $ 179 Echo Windows Media Center extender, but now that's not happening. According to the company, Android is "up and running" on Echo hardware in its labs — we saw screenshots back in February — but early beta tests with home users showed a problem with an internal component. That flaw apparently causes a failure to update in some cases, and since efforts to find a workaround have been so far unsuccessful Ceton is shelving the project (presumably alongside its Q DVR). There's no question this is disappointing for Echo users that expected the feature, but the possibility of a bricked box seem worth avoiding. We haven't talked about the Echo much since it came out of beta with a fix for 1080i output issues — if you're an owner then let us know if you were (still) waiting for Android, or if you've moved onto another solution like Roku, Ouya or Chromecast.%Gallery-slideshow47995%

Ceton ships InfiniTV 6 PCIe tuner, crams six HD channels into a home theater PC
Ceton vowed that it would release a PCI Express equivalent of its InfiniTV 6 ETH box, and it's delivering on that promise (if belatedly) by shipping the InfiniTV 6 PCIe. The adapter still lets Windows Media Center users watch or record up to six HD cable TV channels through one CableCARD, but in a form factor that slots neatly into a dedicated home theater PC. The board is in stock at Amazon and Newegg today at its expected $ 299 price. While that cost puts the InfiniTV PCIe at the high end of the TV tuner spectrum, it may be worthwhile for viewers who just can't afford to miss a show.

Ceton Echo Windows Media Center Extender review
It's been over 3 years since Microsoft released a brand-new variation of Windows Media Center, and while some have declared the platform dead, the ecological community lives on in business like Ceton. Besides continuing to support Media Center, releasing brand-new tuners and developing software, the company is now the very first to present an extender in 4 years. The primary function of the $ 179 Ceton Echo extender is the exact same as those that came before it: to bring the full-featured Windows Media Center experience to even more TVs in your home while streamlining all your media on a single PC. Until now our beloved extender has been the Xbox 360, however it retails for $ 20 even more and the power supply alone is larger than the whole Echo, so maybe there's room for advancement here? We'll take on all of that after the break.

Ceton Echo Windows Media Center Extender pre-orders are live, ship November 30th for $179
The latest option for Windows Media Center individuals is nearly right here, as Ceton's Echo extender has been noted for pre-order at Newegg. Offered for $ 179 with a $ 10 gift card and free of cost shipping, the diminutive accessory allows WMC streams of your live and taped TELEVISION in up to 5 other spaces. That's been feasible with other extenders– especially Microsoft's very own Xbox 360 console– but the Echo claims its benefit is being purpose constructed to do the job with less noise and power consumption, plus support for attributes like DTS surround sound. We'll be evaluating it when the software is last, very early adopters that are ready to jump however missed the beta offer could snag one at the link below– the first deliveries are scheduled to go out November 30th.

Ceton announces slight delay for Echo WMC extender, Q DVR shelved indefinitely
Ceton has, as guaranteed, provided more information on upcoming hardware, nonetheless there's not a great deal of really good news to go around. The bad news is that the Windows Embedded-based Q DVR we were expecting will certainly not launch this year. There's an opportunity it could introduce in 2013, nonetheless questions about whether Microsoft will certainly continue to support Windows Media Center in future variations of its Embedded platform are keeping any type of possible launch plans in doubt. On a slightly brighter note, while the Echo Media Center extender is postponed slightly and the beta systems have actually not yet gone out, Ceton still anticipates a release in time for the holiday period. Finally, there's a good update on the suite of Media Center friend applications, which are now readily available on the B&N Nook and Kindle Fire HD in addition to enhanced for the iPhone 5. Relive our CES 2011 hands-on in video kind after the break, we'll get begun arranging a march on Redmond to make this take place.

Ceton Echo WMC extender beta units set to ship in October, on target for November release
Now that Ceton has pushed its Friend mobile apps for Windows Media Center out the door, our attention returns to the hardware we got an appearance at during CES. A post from the company indicates the Echo extender has actually passed FCC and CE accreditations, with alpha tests under method. If you're not in position to borrow a unit from the house of a worker, your next option to get one will come when the beta begins. The 1,000 applicants accepted must obtain ordering information around the end of this month before hardware ships on October, which, if there are no delays, might suggest general availability as quickly as November. Still awaiting word on that slick 6 tuner Q DVR? So are we, but an update, along with final specifications for the Echo variation 1, are promised at the end of the month.

Ceton previews DVR companion apps on Android and iOS, teases Echo beta 'soon'
A quick stop by the Intel pavilion here at NAB 2012 revealed our friends from Ceton hiding within, and even though we just saw the Q DVR and Echo companion extender on our last trip to Vegas a few months ago, there's a few new items to show already. As shown above, the mobile companion app that we had only seen so far on Windows Phone 7 is also up and running on Android and iOS. While the apps are still very early in their development they're already running smoothly with metadata provided by Rovi and the usual set of features for DVR scheduling and management. Each one is designed specifically for the platform it's running on, rather than pulling the same UI from one device to all. This seems like a good approach to us, but Ceton's looking for feedback from potential users about what they might prefer. Speaking of potential users — all those interested in this hardware should keep an eye out as we're told that the plan is to have a beta for the DTS-compatible Echo extender "soon", likely within a few weeks.

10 Best 3D Blu-Ray Movies to Watch at Home
Less-than-optimum projection setups and sometimes questionable movie quality are making the future of seeing 3D movies in the theater an uncertain one (though we're admittedly excited to see Titanic 3D, which hits theaters today). But with 3D home theaters, you can control the experience by buying the right equipment. That just leaves the question of what to watch. Although the choices for the stereoscopic enthusiasts seem frustratingly limited for the moment, these 10 films could make the solid beginnings of a 3D Blu-ray library.
By Glenn Kenny
A Very 3D Harold and Kumar Christmas
"3D... isn't that kind of played out?" a yuppie-fied Harold (John Cho) asks of a subordinate early on in the film. This is one of the litany of self-referential jokes in this unstoppably vulgar picture, which also showcases all manner of inappropriate and unpleasant things, including raw eggs and a variety of controlled substances, flying into the lens in glorious and obvious stereoscopic splendor. A Very 3D Harold and Kumar Christmas isn't family fare and it certainly isn't subtle. But not all 3D cinema is high art, and this film is far cleverer than you might think.

beautiful decorated place, with a lot of art, huge and comfortable room, delicious breakfast, the staff takes really good care of you
Staff could not do any more to help you. Jonathan was the most helpful hotel employee I have ever met. I wish he worked for me. Speaks perfect English. Flexible breakfast time. Large rooms with high quality bathrooms and finishing.
Mattresses in all our rooms VERY firm and sagging in middle, need replacing.
Breakfasts were super. Good location, close to downtown yet in a quiet area. Staff was super nice and helpful.
Bad room right next to dining area. Dark with small TV and limited privacy. I don't think they were expecting us despite the reservation which was made over a week in advance.
Fantastic showers and excellent breakfast. There was also tea and coffee available all day along with cake and fruit. Amazing staff, very friendly and helpful. Was even asked if I wanted a hot water bottle and this was bought straight to my room
Beds not overwhelmingly comfy. Mattresses need updating. Apart from that the room was perfect
Location, friendly and helpfull straff, rich breakfeast, clean rooms, nice athmosphere.... All perfect!
Great, great staff. Incredibly accomodating. Wonderful little place to stay. They had great clean rooms, there were little conveniences that made the stay like a five star hotel, especially with the hot water bottles for you feet in bed at night. They know all the great places and recommended very, very good eating establishments. This place is a really fantastic!
The room was beautiful, and the staff was extremely helpful. Great quality for what we paid for.
The Wi-Fi was a bit weak in the room (third floor), though it was great at the lobby.
Wonderful continental sensibilities of Italian owner. Clean, romantic, great breakfast, nice amenities, good location, very comfortable.
Classic colonial architecture around central courtyard/sitting room means sound carries easily. Very quiet at night, but early morning kitchen sounds echo throughout. This is common in many small hotels in Ecuador.
Loved the management, they take good care of you!
Location could be better, its a bit of a walk from the main tourist area and sights.
Very charming hotel. Our room was great, and we liked it so much. Also tea, cake and fruits at your disposal :)
As others told, it's not very well signposted. It is located at left side of Manuel Vega in the middle between Gaspar Sangurima and Antonio Vega Muñoz (there is small tree growing in front of its entrance).
Very cozy and quaint. The breakfast was yummy and the staff was helpful and pleasant
It was a bit noisy and not much hot water
We liked some of the staff very much. The ladies in the kitchen were wonderful and Sonja was a delight. Breakfast was good and nicely served.
We booked for 9 nights. We had our guaranteed reservation. The room we were given was the top floor and largest room. We were paying for a double. No one explained that our room was not available. We thought this was our room. After 6 nights we returned from dinner and the lobby was full of people and bags. We were told that we needed to change rooms because these people had a reservation. So did we but that did not make them move others for us upon our arrival. The room they moved us to had 3 pieces of furniture. Two beds and one chair. No table, no night stand, no shelfs to put any clothes. If you had a cup of coffee it had to be placed on the floor between sips. Very very poor furnishing of a room. If we had been given that room first we would have refused it and left. Horrible pillows in both rooms, windows with inadequate curtains leading to the hall which made the room much too bright at night. The bathroom had a window into the hall. Transom like window was always coming open so bathroom seems not as private as it should be. We would never stay there again. Very very disapointing. Why did they wait until 9 pm and in front of many people to tell us to move when they knew all week that we were going to have to move. Oh, by the way there is NO picture of the second room we were given on their website. Most of the pictures are of the room we were first given. Their most expensive accomodation, $120 per night they told us. Sad experience. We had two wonderful rooms in Quito, one for less than the $60 we paid for the awful Verde room. If you book look at the room first and ask if you will have that room the entire stay. Or better yet book elsewhere.
Very nice and spacious apartment, well designed. Good bed and bathroom. Located near the centre of the centre of Cuenca.
Heating could be better
This place is really beautiful and peaceful. The stuff and service is great and Lucia, the owner, is the sweetest and nicest hotel owner I have ever met. I loved this place!!!!
Great value for money this is a little hidden gem and Diego and Flavio bent over backwards to make us feel at home. Flavio is also a guide which we highly recommend especially if you go to the National Park as it's easy to get lost there.
No negative points.
The staff were always very welcoming and helpful. Their restaurant recommendation was top notch and great value for money. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and we extended our stay due to this. Location was good very close to the market and not too far from the main square. Wifi worked in the room. Highly recommended.
Nothing to report on the negative side.
Beautiful place, staff,
A little out of the way not near restuarants etc. long walk or taxi ride.
The owners are so nice, friendly and helpfull! The Breakfast is very good and the banana cake in the afternoon aswell! Our best Hotel in Ecuador!
The walls and the ceiling are a little bit thin, you can hear peoples showering during your breakfast.
The owner Lucia is a great host, so polite and nice. The good thing about this hotel is that you feel the owner cares about who you are and what you have to say. i will definitely go back.
Beautiful place and very clean, the owner and employees goes the extra mile to make sure the guest are happy.
We loved the owners and the staff. They were the perfect hosts. They were very eager to please. The hotel was quaint, they kept the original architecture of the building. Breakfast was delicious every morning.
Did not care for the street the hotel was in and WIFI was spotty at best. Beds were a little uncomfortable. That being said, I would stay here again
Breakfast magnificent safe location charming hostess Decore tasteful warm and welcoming . Hot water bottles on cool evening extra kindness .
The hotel is charming. The owner goes the extra mile to make sure her guests have everything they need to have a happy and comfortable stay. The breakfasts are delicious. The complimentary coffee and cakes make for a nice afternoon treat.
wonderful people, beautiful place
sound travels between floors
Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful room with nice touches, e.g. bath robes on the bed with rose petals and chocolates. Even the soap in the bathroom as in a rose bud. Excellent breakfast, with eggs made to order. Delicious, homemade cakes at breakfast and with tea in the afternoon. Parking available for $5/day at a nearby secure lot. Easy walking distance to some main plazas, a little farther (15 min) to river.
Can be a little noisy depending on room, so ask for a quiet room.

Men In Nursing Issues - page 2
I need your input! I am in a debate in nursing school. The topic is "Men in Nursing." (I'm on the "pro" side of the debate). If any of you have ever had an experience with a male nurse, or you are one, please, send me your... Read More
- 1May 6, '13 by brandy1017I like working with men they are usually laid back, not into gossip or cliques and it always helps to have a man around when you need to boost or move a patient!
- 1May 6, '13 by megank5183what an odd topic for a debate. What is the con side of the argument? Your teacher is just promoting silly stereotypes. There are bad male nurse and good male nurses (as there are for women).
- 3May 7, '13 by amoLuciaI know this will be off the track for this thread but... Just this morning on one of those newsy topic commentator short -type TV show spots was a short piece on men entering nursing. I think it latched onto the fact that it's Nsg Week.
Reporters/guests commented that men are SIGNIFICANTLY entering the nsg profession, but then they started noting some interesting details.
- for many men, nsg is a second career. Nsg jobs are avail where their first choices/jobs have been closed out
- men are NOT staying at the bedside, but moving into specialties and management/administration
- advanced education is a given usually
- salaries for men in the field were more than that for women. Early in their practice and as they moved up the ladder
They gave statistics and percentages that I would like/need to check for accuracy/veracity.
At first, that last info disappointed and angered me. But then I remember how salaries and general public perception of teachers and the education profession evolved post-WW II.
There was a need for more teachers post-WW II for the new baby boomer generation being born. Returning GIs took advantage of the GI bill and went on to school to earn their teaching credentials as the jobs were out there. Initial salaries & working environments left much to be desired for a traditional women-dominated profession.
But men entering the field weren't going to settle for such minimal wages/benefits. Remember that these men were trained, ex-military and many previously employed in a unionized labor workforce and they were needing to be the financial support for their families (women were still June Cleaver/Donna Reeds). The field/plight of teaching IMPROVED with time to today's standards. The guys brought up teaching to professional status.
Think about academia today. So many professors, deans, provosts, presidents, etc of our most prestigious facilities are well educated, credentialed men who are VERY well paid. Women are trying to get there, but they do lag behind. Women still staff the lower grade schools (where the bambinos are). Is this saying something to us???
I can go o & on about an aging baby boomer population (needs similar to the other far end of the age spectrum). And we are still a female-dominated profession. I see it changing but it will take time. I see men in the field as positive change.
Sorry for the soap-box.
- 2May 7, '13 by That Guy, BSN, RN, EMT-BMen shouldnt be in nursing. Who would ever entertain such a horrific idea?!
Seriously what is there to debate?
- 0May 7, '13 by tenjunaAs was said before, just having posted this perpetuates the man vs woman debate. You could easily have this same discussion about women working a "man's job", which afaik is not even talked about anymore...so why even have this debate?
Having said that, the stereotypes and discrimination are still alive and well thank you very much. But it's not something I can't roll my eyes at and move on.
Probably 25% of patients I have seen have asked for a female nurse instead. I respect this as merely a personal choice, not that I should be offended or whatever.
In other words, the only "problems" I have had are with instructors and other nurses, but they will get over it eventually. Hopefully.
- 3May 7, '13 by TX911Good lord, what year is this? Next topic: Pros and Cons of Women Voting. If you're a good woman voter please send me your stories!

Happy News and Ridiculous News update!
Hello to all the gay men out there on ManPlay! I hope you're all having success on ManPlay. I received a ton of great letters today telling me all about the successes you've been having meeting hot men off the site and I couldn't be happier to read them. If you've been feeling discouraged with the gay personals, maybe this bit of news will give you the encouragement you need to keep on trucking!
One of my fave out singers, Rufus Wainwright has apparently set the date for his upcoming wedding to Jorn Weisbrodt. Wainwright has certainly been busy lately, both with the national premiere of his opera called Prima Donna (love it!) but also he's also found time to record a new album coming out in May called Out Of The Game which is produced by none other than Mark Ronson. On a side note, I'm so excited for that album! I love Wainwright AND Ronson and am very curious what they will come up with together. At any rate, he and Weisbrodt have been engaged since 2010 and are the parents to a one-year old but have just set the date for the upcoming wedding with invites reportedly going out telling friends to Save The Date of August 23rd of this year in Montauk, Long Island. I'm very happy for both of them and wish them a lifetime of happiness together!
On the ridiculous side of the spectrum, news broke today that that group One Million Moms that tried to keep Ellen DeGeneres from being the face of JC Penney is at it again! This time they are taking on Archie Comics. Yes, you read that right. They are after Jughead and the gang for a recent issue that features a gay wedding in it. While I applaud this move from the comic, obviously, this group is up in arms and wants it taken from the shelves of Toys 'R' Us stores. Read their whole letter below:
"As a mother and a member of OneMillionMoms.com, I am extremely disappointed to learn that select Toys 'R' Us stores are now selling 'Archie' comic books with a same-sex wedding displayed on the front cover. I am referring to the ones where the front cover reads "Just Married" with two men marrying, one wearing a service uniform.
I am aware that Toys 'R' Us employees do not actually set up the displays; they leave this up to the vendor. Your company should be aware of the merchandise being sold in your stores nonetheless. These comic books are displayed at the front checkout counters so they are highly visible to employees, managers, customers and children.
Unfortunately, children are now being exposed to same-sex marriage in your toy store. This is the last place a parent would expect to be confronted with questions from their children on topics that are too complicated for them to understand. Issues of this nature are being introduced too early and too soon, which is becoming extremely common and unnecessary.
A trip to the toy store turns into a premature discussion on sexual orientation and is completely uncalled for. Toys 'R' Us should be more responsible in the products they carry.
Please remove all the same-sex "Just Married – Archie" comic books immediately from your shelves. My decision to shop in your stores depends on it.
I look forward to hearing from you regarding my concern."
Hilarious, no?! Thankfully the co-CEO of Archie Comics isn't backing down. John Goldwater writes: "Riverdale is a safe, welcoming place that does not judge anyone. It's an idealized version of America that will hopefully become reality someday. We're sorry the American Family Association/OneMillionMoms.com feels so negatively about our product, but they have every right to their opinion, just like we have the right to stand by ours."
What do you make of all this, daters? Be sure to write and let me know and discuss with the other members in the chat rooms of ManPlay too!

Vancouver Island is a densely forested land mass located about seventy miles northwest of Seattle, Washington. The island is separated from Canadas mainland by water and is a popular destination for hikers, hunters and possibly something frightening and mysterious.
Natives told tales to their children of an ape-like beast to be feared that would steal them should they venture into the forest. More than just stories of a bogeyman, recent witnesses tell equally terrifying stories of a monster that attacks as they sleep and is seen devouring fish on the coastline.
Now MonsterQuest's expedition team follows up these reports, launches their own hunt and finds that recent scientific discoveries of swimming apes could lead them to their most astounding discovery yet.

Palin Documents To Be Released Get Shredded
Students at CSU-Stanislaus found documents related to Sarah Palin's trip to the university shredded in a dumpster.
State Senator Leeland Yee had been asking for officials to release the documents, but leaders with the CSU Stanislaus foundation have refused saying since it's a seperate fundraising group it is not required to release them.
Among the shredded documents was details of what Palin was asking for to travel to Turlock and speak at a fund raiser for the university.
Some of the details the students were able to piece together included requests for airfare from Anchorage to the event, hotel rooms and a chance to know questions that will be asked in advance.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

Villa Adrienne is a garden of delights- or it is located in one, anyway. This lovely Provençal stone farmhouse is set in a vast garden – 16 acres of land that also includes olive and almond groves; just 3 km. from the peaceful village of La Motte d'Aigues and 4 km. from Ansouis in the southern Luberon The mature trees provide lots of shaded areas for relaxing, including an expansive flagstone patio dotted with chaise longue and an alfresco dining area, with seating for 10. The pool set in a grassy expanse also is surrounded by chaise lounges for sunning. The villa interiors are stately and comfortable, with art-adorned walls and a mix of modern and antique furnishings. On the ground floor, guests find a living room that focuses on a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen with an informal round dining table, a dining room for eight and an extra bedroom for a nanny or single person. The bedrooms upstairs include three queens with en-suite bathrooms and one double with a separate bathroom. Caretakers live discretely on the property in their own detached house. They are available should guests need them and are willing to share a glass of wine if the occasion arises. And the gardens don't end at the Villa Adrienne boundary. Only three kilometers away is the peaceful village of La Motte d'Aigues, which can be reached along walking paths that traverse green hills covered in cherry and olive trees and grapevines. Also close by is Etang de la Bonde, a lake that offers swimming, canoeing and restaurants.
Having been to France many times, this was the first time we have ever stayed a month. And the first time we had ever stayed in this area. We loved it. This area is so beautiful, covered in vineyards, olive groves, and lavender. It is so laid back and the people are so friendly and always wanting to help.It was our first time for seeing the lavender in bloom which was spectacular. The grounds of Beauvallon were absolutely stunning. There were roses in bloom everywhere- and hydrangeas ( or Hortensias) as Bernard told me in French. I was able to always have many bouquets of flowers in t he house which I adored.
Our son and family came to visit - with a 10& 8 yr old - they enjoyed the pool, the boule court, and playing soccer in the grass. We liked to watch them from the attractive pool house.
We used Chef Sophie and thought she was exceptional. She & Frederick presented a beautiful and delicious meal and they were very professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend them.
Recommendations for improvements at mas Beauvallon: we really liked it but:there was no place to put a suitcase with clothes in them / or no dressers or drawers to put clothes in. If there were luggage racks at least u could leave your clothes in the suitcase. This isn't so bad for a short time but it is bad for an extended length of time.
We did buy a few things for the kitchen - like a paring knife, pizza cutter, measuring cups, & spoons.
We truly loved the house and my personal opinion is that when you spend the kind of money that we spent, we expected the best -better linens, towels, etc. like in a good hotel. One important thing needs to b done: the folder that is left for renters needs to be written in English for those of us that need it.

2003 Honda Accord EX V6 Coupe Review
Great blend of performance and fuel economy, great build quality, fit and finish, reliability, amenities, comfort, seats, audio system.
Can't match the dynamics of rear-wheel drive, Honda pads prone to warping the rotors, should have an electrochromic rear-view mirror standard (I'm stretching here).
2003 Honda Accord Ex V6 6-speed — Excellent compromise between fuel economy and performance (EX V6 6-Speed Manual). Great looking interior with a very high level of fit and finish that belies its price point. It makes me feel like I am driving a much more expensive car. It's very reliable and it's nice to know I can always trust it. The ride is a bit crunchier than I prefer and the road noise is a bit high for its class. The seats however, are great and it has one of the best factory non-fancy name audio systems out there, particularly for the money. It handles fairly well for a front-wheel drive car. That being said, I have outgrown its handling capabilities and will be looking for a rear-wheel drive car next time. No matter how much front-wheel drive advances, I just don't think it can deliver the balanced dynamics of rear-wheel drive. It's too bad because I otherwise love this car's blend of performance, economy, reliability, comfort, quality, luxury and features. For its price it is a phenomenal value that will make you think you own a much more expensive car. The interior would be suitable for a $40,000 car. I just wish it were rear-wheel drive.

Quick with a nice ride.
Nothing really. It' sa Honda so it lasts
If You Want Get Up And Go With Reliability And Gas Friendly, Then This Is A Good Match — Good power coming from the 3.0 V-6 DOHC engine...puts out 240hp and 216tq stock. Accelerates nicely and handles well. The ride is nice with leather interior and heated driver/passenger seat. Gets good gas mileage with the power it puts out. Looks great with a smooth body and nothing that sticks out.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Great Fuel Economy
Small Wheels
2003 Honda Accord — I really love this car. Even though this is only the inline 4 model, it really has great acceleration and it just feels like it wants to be driven. Suspensions is great and it can handle corners well and is a comfortable drive. The only thing I would recommend is that get larger tires because stock wheels are kind of small. Its 7 years old and still is amazing. Honestly I like this generation over the new one.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

2003 Honda Accord EX Coupe Review
Sleek looks
Blind spots when backing up and from A-pillars
Why Would You Even Consider The Camry... — Sleek, dynamic, and fun to drive describes this Accord Coupe. Mine is a 2003 EX Coupe with the 2.4L i-vtec I-4 engine producing 160 horsepower and 160 lb. ft. of torque paired with a 5-Speed Manual transmission. The engine provides decent power with a little added boost at higher rpms when the i-vtec readjusts the camshaft timing for high performance to extract more power out of the engine. The 5-Speed Manual is very smooth and the clutch action is easy to read. The exterior design while not a show stopper it still certainly looks great for a coupe in the Accord's price range. The added spoiler on the trunk adds a nice touch to the overall look of the exterior. The interior has plenty of room with comfortable seats and amazing ergonomics. The dash is not cluttered with buttons but rather it is well organized. The aluminum trim in the interior is a nice addition to the already attractive interior décor. Even the back seat of the car can fit someone who is six feet tall in relative comfort. There is also an abundance of cargo space in the trunk as well as a voluminous interior for anything else you may need to carry along. Overall I must say job well done Honda. This is one excellent vehicle. Every detail was taken into consideration in design and functionality to create a masterpiece of a car. It has a near perfect blend of ride, handling, and power that is comparable to the marvelous balance of these three aspects in a BMW 3-Series or a Chevrolet Corvette. This car absolutely, hands down blows away the Toyota Camry and I can't see why anyone in their right mind would choose it over the Accord. In fact if you are considering an Accord be sure to check out the new Chevrolet Malibu. It is a very nice car that has the right formula to compete head to head with the Accord that the Toyota Camry simply cannot match. My car is five years old yet while it has low mileage it has been problem free. The only complaint I have is with blind spots. When backing up the view is obstructed by the high trunk line. This isn't such an issue for me anymore because I am used to the car and I am over six feet tall but for a driver under six feet tall it may be more of an issue. There are also blind spots created by the cars A-pillars, which are on either side of the wind shield, because they are so thick. Furthermore I have the window visor accessory for both my driver and passenger side door window that contributes to the A-pillar blind spot even more. Otherwise I just wish the car was an EX-V6 / 6-Speed Manual combination for the ultimate 2003 Accord Coupe.

Great engine
no rear wiper
Don't Want To Get Out From It — it's a sedan so no rear wiper and not so comfy trunk, besides that the car is great :] Excelent build, so far the car didn't need any repairs. It's a 155KM 2.0 gas engine so it has to take some gas, but as you don't see an instantaneous fuel consumption you don't worry about that :) I got out from the car after 2 days :D

Gas Mileage
2003 Honda Accord Ex-v6 — Very good car. I like how it can be driven to the max when the pedal is slammed down, btu can also cruise very nicely. The MPG sux tho. I average only about 16/gal. At $4/gal that is degusting. Fortunately, all I've needed was a new battery, new tires and wipers, then oil changes. 2 months after I bought the car I needed a new transmission... weird for a less than 3 yr old car and 70K, but was covered for no cost by Honda, depite being out of warranty. Very sexy car tho, and can go easily to 100, and (from experience) it tops off at 130MPH. I test drove a 2007 Mercedes c280 4Matic, and it was essentially the same car, with the exception of a power head rest and a MB symbol. Definately not worth the 40K, also accelleration was worse than my car.
