Rated 3 out of 5 by Milo27 Needs improvement We had to wait for a good one and a half hours waiting in the lobby for our room to be ready. This is surely not acceptable for a 5 star hotel. Truth be told, the manager apologised and complimented us with a bottle of wine but this was time lost from our stay. Staff did not inform us of spg benefits such us the use of the executive lounge which we found out by ourselves. There was no free wifi in the room as indicated by our spg membership. Breakfast needs improvement since by 9 o'clock some items were finished and not replaced. The quality of the coffee leaves a lot to be desired. All in all we had a pleasant stay. October 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by cucu1965 Very nice hotel If you are not really looking for a holiday resort, this is a great place for your stay in Malta. The hotel has nice and big rooms, complimentary parking facilities, a pool and bar on the deck, and it is centrally located. The staff is quite friendly. I got a very nice upgrade to a suite with bay view... could not ask for more. June 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Swedes An excellent stay Our family of four stayed in two double-rooms. Our SPG Gold membership gave excellent benafits: Room upgrades, breakfast in lounge, cocktails... Staff and management were very friendly and service-minded and went out of their way to give us a good hotel experience. In short, a pleasant stay with lots of nice holiday memories! January 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by juve A memorable experience in this hotel A friendly and a relexing atmosphere. An unforgetable experience. A hotel near the sea and surrounded even with countyside view. October 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Magus great location location is great, the service is excellent, friendly staff, the swimming pool is rather small.. October 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sweden2014 The view from balcony was amazing. View from hotel balcony towards the bay was outstanding. The steam sauna in Spa area was very good and also the indoor swimming pool with its lovely smell was really relaxed. The bay directly outside the hotel was a very good place to start the day at. However the bay is not a natural beach and to get to the water you have to go on old stony stairs to get there. The sea water was clean and perfect. It was therefore worth taking this risk. Spa facility at the hotel was fantastic ! July 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JackyS ZERO Benefits for SPG Platinum guests Extremely disappointed that as a Platinum member I was offered NOTHING extra on check in. NO free internet; NO breakfast; NO late checkout, NOTHING at all. TV programs in English are non-existent unless you want to be entertained by various news channels. This is totally unacceptable for a FIVE STAR property. I am extremely disappointed to say the least and am going to cash in my SPG points as they mean nothing anymore. No more will I stay in SPG properties or support SPG. I will rather support programs that reward their Platinum members. So much time, money and effort spent to attain Platinum status only to be treated in exactly the same way I was treated as an ordinary member. May 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by doron37 we had a great time! we had a great vacation. the staff was very helpful. can't wait to come back! December 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Didina Excellent hotel Excellent hotel. I spent a short holiday there and had a great time. The hotel is just fine: good location from which you can easily reach places of tourist attraction. The bus stop is near the hotel and in the area there are excellent restaurants. The hotel has a wonderful spa where you can relax after the long day and the breakfast is very rich and varied. The staff is exceptional and unique kindness. I'll stay again November 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Toothologist Great location The hotel is located perfectly it is close to getting everywhere around the island. The buffet breakfast was disappointing the food tasted stale and the restaurant always had a bad smell. The bedroom layout is annoying, the toilet is separate from the sink and a distance away! Not my idea of a hygienic setting The staff were very friendly however and helpful and attended to things quickly September 14, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by NeedmyRefund Grossly overcharged While we enjoyed our stay at this hotel, on returning home we found that they processed the pre-authorization amount and also the actual costs for the reservation. We are now having great difficulty getting this hotel to refund our 300 Euro deposit. Make sure you get a receipt for your deposit and have it cancelled before you pay your final bill. May 1, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by notHappyinMalta Very unhappy 1. Staff left my door ajar, after entering with do not disturb hanger on door 2. All ice machines out of order 3. Bathroom on main floor very dirty, hadn't been cleaned in days (I checked after pointing out to manager - no change) 4. Power outage 5. No Internet for 36 hours 6. Slow elevators and Cheap Furniture This property is no Le Meridien! August 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by STEFFL for sure a GREAT little getaway Perfect location. Great rooms, Great staff that is multilingual and very helpful at all times, parking for free of rental car at property and the view looking out the med sea was just perfect. This sure was the most prositive surprise we ever had at any hotel in the last year while on tour. being recognized as a "guest" sure makes a big difference. We felt very welcomed! October 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by wendy55 fantastic hotel this is our third visit to this hotel and i cannot rate it more highly for comfort. friendliness of staff, meals etc. This is a fantastic hotel and nothing is too much trouble for the staff.The meals are excellent ,the beds are clean and comfortable.the rooms are spotless,Thank you to all for another wonderful stay. Wendy and Michael November 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by telemann201 Toilet without handwash Nice hotel. Only one thing that must be changed. There is separate toilet and bath roms. That is OK as such. But there is no handwash in the toilet, that means you need to go to the bath room to wash hands. This is unhygienic and gives easy crosscontamination when you tuch things going from toilet to bath room!!!! June 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by pphotiou excellent choice It ia a nice hotel with very friendly people. I was amazed that when I had a question the acting manager was always available to chat with me. Also, when the G. M was available he was more than willing to sit with me have a coffee and discuss any issues regarding my stay. For sure I will stay again in this hotel September 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by canuckle Outstanding stay at great hotel I have just returned from a stay at this hotel and I am very pleased to say that this Platinum SPG member was treated very well and I would not hesitate to come back again next time. From the start (actually, I emailed the hotel a couple days in advance to ask about transportation and tourist information), the hotel was responsive and professional. At check-in, my room was not ready, but they were happy to let me use the Executive lounge if I needed. I opted to go sight-seeing and was greeted by Mario, with whom i had communicate via email. He gave a warm welcome and gave me a quick primer on the locale and how to get to Valetta, the main town. He also gave me very valuable information on how to get last minute tickets to the Hypogeum - the most sought after tourist site in Malta. When I did get my room, I was very surprised to get a huge suite overlooking the bay area. The 1BR, 2 bath suite was huge and included 2 balconies to lounge at the end of the day. The complimentary canapes and wine in my room was another stunning touch of welcomeness. The breakfast buffet was one of the largest I have seen and like the rest of the hotel, the staff were very friendly, even remembering what I liked to drink on subsequent days. I could continue to rave about the hotel (outdoor and indoor pools, nice spa....) but overall, this hotel does it right! It was sad to leave the hotel as this was one of the most memorable stays I have had (I spend about 2 months a year in hotels). I booked a hotel taxi and did not realize Le Meridien uses its own service of Mercedes vehicles. The cost was not much different than the regular price but the service was, again, superb. Overall, this hotel and the staff were amazing. It is centrally located near Valetta, but also has its own charms in St Julians/Paceville for local cuisine. The cost was very economical, despite being one of the top properties in Malta. August 3, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by riskman Disappointment On arrival I was allocated what turned out to be the smallest room on the floor. It was so small that with the standard furniture it the room it was not possible to access the bedside chest of drawers. The room faced directly on to the side of the building next door and had no other outlook. On one evening we had no hot water. I attempted to discuss this and asked at the front desk to speak to the duty manager. I intended to pay to upgrade but was informed that I could only talk to him if I told the staff in advance what I wished to discuss. In the last year I have spent well in excess of 100 nights in hotels. This was the most disappointing. June 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MAWe First rate hotel and amenaties Hotel, excellent location, first class service, Hotel supplies all you require for a good holiday. Staff attentive and helpful, Comes highly recommended. December 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ger1 Excellent short stay. 4 day stay in October. Great room with terrace and sea views. All staff were very attentive and friendly. Breakfasts were super. Will definately return for another great break. October 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barni52 Great place to be ! Booked a standard room for a three night weekend using SPG points. As Platinum member was offered an Executive Suite (incl. access to executive lounge) with splendid view over Balluta bay (room 1047, very recommendable, situated directly above executive lounge with fast access via staircase). Nice welcome at reception with a local Kinnie drink (herbal lemonade). Had planned to use fantastic indoor spa and gym, but due to warm and sunny weather (this is December in Malta!) spend unfortunately most of time outside hotel. Very nice rooftop pool and bar area (closed during winter), must be wonderful place in summer time. Two of the four lifts had been under reconstruction (at construction site display with quoted complaints of guests about poor lift quality !!! and promise to improve the lifts with the latest technology in elevator services). Dinner at The Villa Brasserie was a little bit disappointing. Good and reasonably priced barfood at KuDeTa lounge. Plenty of good restaurants in walking distance. Altogether we had been very pleased with location of hotel and service attitude shown. Our only complaint is about some ants in the room at beginning of stay. December 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tico Very good hotel Helpful staff , good breakfast ,location very centered ,, no beach??? Small pools bad dinner April 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kevanfm A very good place to stay At first concerned that we did not have a sea view room, we came to appreciate the quite room overlooking the car park. all staff were very attentive especially Joseph on front desk and Rita in restaurant. Brian our barman was fantastic. We shall surely visit again soon, but why don't you promote The Villa? October 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Smaxsy Fantastic Location We have now stayed at this hotel 4 times and each stay has been perfect. The hotel is very well managed and the staff are very attentive, rooms are spacious and kept very clean and if you have a room overlooking the bay then the view is fantastic. The location of the hotel is perfect it is a short walk away from the busy Paceville area where there are many wonderful restaurants and busy bars should you wish to venture out in the evening. There is a lovely promenade along the front outside the hotel which runs along the coastline to the areas of Sliema and Msida and if you like walking this is a must as there are lots of cafes to stop and refresh along the way. The local bus service is great and many buses will take you to various parts of the island for much less than the local taxis, plus the local sightseeing tour stops just outside the hotel and can be taken around the island with a hop on hop off service making it a very easy and relaxed way of seeing Malta. We find the hotel to be very pleasant and very well maintained. There are building works taking place nearby but we have never found these to be an issue and if you look around the rest of the island this seems to be a pretty common sight. We have not eaten in the hotel restaurant so cannot vouch for food here but we have eaten in the Ku De Ta lounge and bar and have found the food here very nice and reasonably priced for a 5* hotel. Our only small gripe with the hotel is the lift situation, only two lifts for such a large hotel mean at busy times, i.e. meal times, the wait can be long and often you have to let them pass as they are too full to get in. We used the stairs to walk down but being on the 10th floor we didn't attempt the walk up! I believe they are trying to improve the lift service so you have to appreciate and respect that work is being carried out. All in all a great hotel with a fantastic location and would recommend this to anyone who visits Malta. We will definitely be returning at least once next year! November 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Power501 Not a Five Hotel My family have just left this establishment in Malta and we must say we were extremely disappointed with our stay at the Le Meridian. A number of things were of very poor standard and I felt I must highlight them . Firstly, the staff at reception , in the bar and in the restaurant were very dismissive especially of my two year old toodler and one member even accidently knocked him over and simply turned to me asking me to keep him close as he may disturb other guest. This staff member did not even think to politely apologise. In the bar, the staff talked amongst themselves ,did not serve us and I had to go looking for staff repeatedly for service. At reception staff did not welcome us and at checkout ,staff kept attempting to pressure me to pay my bill in a way that suited them and not me. In the spa, the staff were extremely pushy attempting to pressure me to book extra tretments including during my massage when I was attempting to relax and destress. The room was to a poor standard, the grout between tiles was dirty, a brown colours, the cups and ice bucket were quite not cleaned properly previously , the cot that requested for my two year old son was far too small. When I highlighted such issues to the accommodation staff the girl seemed to not understand me or speak English well. The room's balcony also faced the car park which was very disappointing. The breakfast was satisfactory but the dinner was far below the standard of a five star hotel as it was a cavarery which quite sadly looked like a barbeque. I at the very least expect appropriate table service and a good menu at this standard and at such prices I have paid. In addition, the brochure and hotel were very deceiving as they neglected they state the indoor pool is off limits to children until after 6 pm and the Wi-Fi is only available to guests IF you supply a deposit of no less than 180 euro. Also putting two single beds together and claiming it is a double bed is simply false. It is not an appropriate double bed , it is simply uncomfortable and we received very poor sleep due to this. The outdoor pool requires painting and cleaning and it is simply demeaning to be served from plastic disposable glasses and plates while staying at a five star hotel. My family and I felt as if we were treated as children. Finally , I am a SPG member and as the travel agent did supply my membership details upon booking , I supplied them at check in and I was rudely informed I could not utilizes my membership or gain points even though I highlighted it was the error upon the travel agents part. Overall, this hotel is not a five star hotel, staff are simply rude and especially dismissive of children and do not supply anything for children. The hotel is dirty and requires serious updating and an attitude adjustment I also forgot the mention earlier , I was especially concerns and frightening when I attempted to shower in the health club showers, I noted the part was falling down and was quite a large hole above the shower head as pieces of the shower came loose and dropped on my head.. I would never stay in this hotel in the future in such bad conditions. May 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jefin Responsive staff, We used a suite upgrade and were disappointed to receive a large room that looked out onto a parking lot instead of the sea. When we asked if anything else was available, we were told the hotel was completely booked for the night...and we expected that would be the end of it. Instead, we were upgraded on our second night to a suite with two balconies and a stunning view of Balluta Bay. The staff could not have been nicer about the request. We were particularly impressed with the nice rooftop pool and the room service, which was surprisingly well-priced. The location is on a very nice seaside promenade, convenient to public buses, and a 20-minute walk to the Valletta ferry. June 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SH81 Only stay here if you don't need WIFI Very bad WIFI quality. Came here with my partner as he was on business and almost every day they had to reset the router so that the WiFi would work for a few hours then stop. October 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MKL2014 Classic & Classy Comfort With 5 hard work days in a row - it was a pelasure to come back to my room and relax on the balcony (not something I normally do. A great hotel, well situatued, with proactive, friendly staff. Service was quick and always beyond expectations. Highly recommended for business and pleasure. September 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by goldman20 Yet another excellent stay! Once again we were exceedingly well looked after at this hotel. The upgrade to a junior suite was much appreciated and the views out to sea were excellent. All the staff were very good and helpful and I would especially like to thank the bar staff who were stars during the closure of the executive lounge. On our last morning we had a very early check out (3am) and the provision of tea and coffee and snacks at reception was a vey welcome and thoughtful way to send us off to the airport. Nice to see that the lifts are being updated, the service is now much better even with only 2 of the 4 lifts working. March 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by W1961 this hotel is in an excellent location with great features location is great, in the middle of every thing.. close enough to get by bus or take walks.. the only disadvantage is no internet in the rooms, but you have it in the lobby.. one of the beds was not comfortable, and squeaky. other that that it was an excellent, enjoyable stay. September 26, 2014

As long as the big food companies that spearhead the corporatocracy can keep buying politicians and bribe them to champion the conventional wisdom that holds up Big Agra-Big Food as a "health partner," this country will continue to spiral into the health sewer. Once again, the poor people of Chicago will lose, as they will be subjected to the arbitrary whims and misinformation of the anti-obesity campaign.

In addition to using a nice avocado, bell pepper, roasted corn, onion, a green chili, one lime, you will need a 1 tsp of cumin powder, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder or even 1 tsp if you like and salt to taste.
All chopped and diced!
Add the roasted corn. You can roast the corn on a grill on even on a lightly oil pan, which makes it more toasted I guess.
Add the spices and chopped up avocado and mix it up.
Serve up with some plain or lime flavored tortilla chips. Makes a good dinner as well ;)

Created: 02/09/2010
A couple of weeks ago the subject of my column could not have been more contemporary, dogs made from wrapping paper and cardboard. This week I step back in time to the 15th century with floor tiles that are being sold at Bonhams in London on September 8 with expectations of between £700 and £1,000.
The three Medieval encaustic tiles would each have been one quarter of a set of four tiles. Each has the same design forming a quarter of a circle, decorated in white on red with the name 'Sir John Talbot' above the family crest of a white hound, its tongue extended, a sprig of oak leaves in the corner.
Sir John Talbot, created first Earl of Shrewsbury in 1442, achieved fame as a commander during the Hundred Years' War. He was present at Henry V's triumphal entry into Paris and continued fighting until his death in battle during the siege of Castillon on July 20 1453. He was first buried in France but his remains were subsequently brought back to England and interred at Whitchurch in Shropshire. He was a great national hero of the 15th century, second only to Henry V Talbot was immortalised in Shakespeare's 'Henry VI' as a brave and honourable commander of men.
The tiles date from the mid 15th century and could originally have been made for an ecclesiastical building. Talbot was a great financial supporter of the church and one can romanticise that he once may have walked on them. After his death a monument was erected to Talbot which would have had similar tiles placed there.
As old buildings, homes and monuments were destroyed, the materials from which they were made were used elsewhere and in the intervening centuries these tiles could well have had a number of homes. They were discovered with a quantity of other medieval tiles some twenty years ago stacked in a 19th century farm building at Glazeley, near Bridgnorth in Shropshire.
Talbot was a great patron of the arts. In the British Library there is an illuminated manuscript known as the 'Book of Romances'. Dating from circa 1445, this was presented by Talbot to Margaret of Anjou, wife of Henry VI. In one of the illustrations John Talbot is presenting the book, he kneels on a tiled floor and by his side is a white hound similar to the ones on the tiles.
Closely related to the old St Hubert Hound and the Bloodhound but pure white in colour, this ancient breed acquired its name from the de Talbot family who arrived in England with the Normans in the 11th century. It is recorded that 'these white hounds were brought to England by the head of the Talbot family, and rapidly gained credit for their qualities in the chase of the stage ...' Its name appears in English literature as an active breed from the 14th to the 18th century.
In heraldry it is the original English dog, the hound of the early days. Although always associated with the arms of the Talbot family, it figures in the heraldic crests of at least seven English families and several old princely families in Germany.
One lasting reminder of the Talbot today is in names such as The Talbot Arms, The Talbot Hotel or The Talbot Head, given to various English public houses and hotels. There are, for example, five Talbot public houses in London alone.

Teen ejected from vehicle in Interstate 495 rollover crash
Updated On: Oct 03 2013 03:57:09 PM EDT
An 18-year-old was ejected from his vehicle in a rollover crash along Interstate 495 Thursday morning, Massachusetts State Police said.
The crash happened in the southbound lanes around 10:30 a.m.
According to police, the SUV went off the road and into the median of the highway. The out-of-control vehicle then re-entered the highway, and flipped over a number of times.
The driver, an 18-year-old teen from Lynn, was ejected from the vehicle and seriously hurt.
Police said it appears the victim was not wearing a seat belt.
His identity was not immediately released by police.

of Cafe Berlin - Washington, DC
Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for Cafe Berlin, which says:
"A must for the Paulaner Hefeweizen and Bitburger Pils served in proper German glasses...if you like good authentic German bier, check this out. We were dismayed that we could not order from the light fare menu on a quiet Sunday evening outdoors on the patio...therefore did not sample the food. Server was dour but the bartender was more friendly. But the quality of the bier outweighed this. (Diet Coke was oily and a tad unappetizing designated drivers have to drink too.)"

Holiday-Post Percale Cases 7 7
Sheets These are whimsical and colorful. They will be fun for the holidays September 21, 2014
Nostalgia & Charm I purchased these sheets for my king-sized bed when I first saw them in the holiday catalog last year. The pattern was so charming and out-of-the-ordinary that it hooked me right away. The sheets make a nice holiday statement with a red blanket on the bed and our cranberry ticking-stripe duvet cover, but without seeming "too" thematic. It's a quick and easy change from our usual bedding. Since they are percale, they are a nice alternative to flannel sheets. I like having that option specifically in a holiday pattern. I find the quality good. The sheets are very nice, they wash well, fit the mattress well, are generous in size, and so far have performed well with one season of regular use. After this pattern went on sale at the end of the season, I ended up purchasing duvet covers & shams for the twin beds in my sons' room, and ultimately bought two sets of Holiday Post sheets for their beds, too. I am looking forward to bringing them out this year for the holidays. It's also nice that my sons are little guys who happen to like mailboxes quite a bit! September 10, 2014
Great Sheets! I just love Garnet Hill's percale sheets. This is one of the only places I can find quality percale sheets made in Portugal. I have purchased quite a few of their percale sheet sets and I am never disappointed. This particular set is no exception. I love the unique holiday design. If you like crisp cotton sheets then these are the ones for you. They hold up well after many washings. August 22, 2014
postal bedding Nice sheets, makes your bed cozy and warm. Wish the collection would add a blanket to make it complete. December 12, 2013
Sheets to Make You Smile I received these sheets as an early holiday gift and I adore them! They are the perfect gift for a snail mail enthusiast or for anyone who would appreciate their cheerfulness. The sheets feel yummy after one wash and will get even better with more washes over time. These sheets make me smile! December 10, 2013
Pow! Postal Percale I've purchased GH percale sheets in the past and they are top-notch. When I saw this unique, festive design, I HAD to buy a set for me. I also bough a set as a gift for my brother who is a postal carrier. What a unique idea--love the creative pattern and colors! They wash well and are so comfortable. November 26, 2013

Do the greens in these sheets coordinate with the green of the "Cilantro" colored GH cotton fleece blanket?
The "Cilantro" is a discontinued color. It does work well with the green trees in the "North Pole Holiday Percale" sheets, which are sort of an avocado green. But I thought the "Cilantro" might be more yellowy than the greens I can see in the "Holiday Post" sheets.
What about the same blanket in "Topiary Green" or "Garnet"? Do these colors match the tones in the "Holiday Post" sheets well?

The fetlock joint can be subject to a range of injuries especially during high-energy activities like show jumping for example. Our Fetlock boots are created to protect the horse's hind leg against knocks, abrasions and brushing making them easy to use. Perfect for show jumping and schooling, Horze fetlock boots combine a molded hard-wearing strike pad with neoprene for comfort and protection. A slim line design makes this boot light and easy to use with durable fabric designed to withstand every day wear and tear. Velcro straps secure the boots for a comfortable fit. Multiple colors to choose from, so your horse can be protected and trendy, just like you!
Plastic, neoprene. Wipe clean.
They are very lovely boots that are extremely well priced. I love mine, perfect fit and look super stylish.Written on by Anonymous
These boots are great, very durable, and fit my jumper pony perfectly. I ordered black and was sent blue and according to the return papers you can't exchange because of incorrect color. The boot is great, at a steal of a price, but the return/exchange policy not so much.Written on by Anonymous
I own a tan pair (I think it the ginger color) as well as matching front boots and a matching saddle pad. They look great on my dark bay OTTB. They hold up well to regular use with brushing out ever once in a while to keep clean. You can see how they protect because there will be slight brushing marks on the inside side of the shell. I feel more comfortable because I can see that they actually protect from brushing that I didn't know was actually happening! They fit a fair amount of horses. I have had one pair on my 16.2 hh TB and a pair on my instructor's percheron/TB mix and they fit both horses well.Written on by Luxlight
They work great and have held up great. I would buy again. They are easy to clean.Written on by Kelsey
Great boots for an unbeatable price. I have the whole set (tendon & hind) for one horse in pink and will soon be purchasing another set for the other horse! Nowhere else can you get good quality boots that come in such a huge choice of colors.Written on by M
I purchased these boots to go along with my horse's front boots that are Eskadrons. They look like a set! Great quality at a price that cannot be beat! I may have to get a few different colors just to mix it up. Would definitely order again!Written on by hunterjumper18
bought these boots for my cob with quite chunky legs, very nice looking and smart, however they are TOO big for my horse!! which is annoying since she has all medium sized stuff and i bought medium size in this and they are way too big so I am going to have to buy another pair, but not from horze!!!!!!!Written on by an annoyed customer
My friend got me a pair and i just love them!!! I just love them,they are perfect for jumping,and very durable.I am going to get other pairs and i think they are very very cheap.I sometimes use them in competitions and they look great. You can also use them for regular schooling classes. I jump over 1meter so my horse needs good protection and these are great.They are also very pretty and stylish. Everybody loves them at the stable i ride in. These are also great if you are a beginner jumper.I've tried zoo many different boots and these are one of my favorites. They also make a great birthday or christmas gift for riders. I can't believe how durable they are for the price. I bought boots for hundreds of dollars and broke after a month. They are just incredible don't know what i wooden't have done with these boots. hope you enjoyed it ! ;D bye bye.Written on by horse jumper
very good boots for my boy, perfect full size, amazing colours, perfect for Birthday presents! I have to say that's very annoying find out good colours fetlock boots but not front tendon!Written on by Isabella Palazzo
Bought my big Dutch Warmblood a pair of Eskadron rear fetlock boots when I saw these boots from Horze. Well, I got THREE pairs of the Horze boots for less than I paid for the one pair of Eskadrons. Plus, Horze has a lot of fun colors. The boots are just what I need when I ride my dressage horse, simple protection for his fetlocks when asking him to do more complex movements. I also live in south Florida where it is warm all year round. These wash up easy and dry quickly, fleece is simply not a good option ror us down here.Written on by JOY

Groundbreaking Aortic Stent Procedure Now at Sentara, Valor Trial Begins Today
Sentara News Home

Sentara in the News
Norfolk, Va.- August 18, 2004 —
In an important step toward establishing minimally invasive treatment options for patients with life-threatening aneurysms or trauma involving the thoracic (chest) aorta, surgeons at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital will perform the first thoracic endograft procedure today as part of an FDA-approved clinical trial. The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the performance of a new stent graft system manufactured by Medtronic, Inc., trial sponsor.
The "VALOR" Trial is being conducted at 35 clinical sites in the United States and will involve approximately 500 patients. Sentara Norfolk General Hospital is the only site in Hampton Roads selected to participate and one of two sites in the state.
"This is an extremely important trial because it will allow us to explore the safety and effectiveness of a stent graft device that could potentially save thousands of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms who die each year because of rupture," said Gordon Stokes, M.D., Sentara vascular surgeon.
It is estimated that about 21,000 people are diagnosed annually in the U.S. with thoracic aortic aneurysms. Most patients are older and often have other serious conditions such as heart disease, lung problems, high blood pressure and diabetes, making it difficult for them to survive an open chest operation — the traditional treatment of choice.
In an open chest operation, the thoracic aortic aneurysm is repaired by cutting open the aneurysm and replacing it with a synthetic vessel tube. Open operations can traditionally lead to more complications especially in older, frail patients.
Some patients are deemed ineligible for open surgical repair because of their weakened state. Without an endovascular approach, medical management or "watchful waiting" is used as a treatment option and can lead to increased mortality and morbidity in these patients.
Through participation in the VALOR Trial, Sentara can now offer a new treatment option where a catheter is used to place a stent graft inside the thoracic aorta. Once the stent is in place, it is expanded to fit within the diameter of the aorta, relieving pressure on the aneurysm and essentially eliminating the chance of rupture. Both a vascular surgeon and a cardiac surgeon are involved in the procedure.
"The stenting procedure is less risky than open surgery and more aggressive than watchful waiting, " said Robert Hagberg, M.D., cardiac surgeon. "Since the procedure is minimally invasive, it only requires a small incision to accommodate entry of the stent instead of an open chest incision.
"As a result, length of stay in the hospital and recovery time at home are greatly reduced with less pain for the patient," according to Marc Glickman, M.D., vascular surgeon and principal investigator for the Valor Trial.
The new procedure has a number of benefits for the patient. Patients who undergo the two-hour-long thoracic stent graft procedure are hospitalized for one-to-three days compared to two-to-three weeks with the standard open chest operation, which takes five hours to complete. Stent graft patients can typically resume their normal activities within a week following the procedure, in contrast to the two or three months of recovery time required for those undergoing the traditional operation.
Aneurysms can occur at any age, although they are more common in people who smoke, have family histories of aneurysms and among people over age 60. High blood pressure and emphysema are also risk factors. The aorta is the body's largest artery and other major arteries branch from it, transporting newly oxygenated blood to organs throughout the body. Aneurysms can be signaled by chest or back pain.

Brisbane, Australia
After the most insanely busy semester of my life (I hate you, biochem), I have finally gotten some sewing done!
Like many others, I've been eyeing off the Mociun tie-front dress! I pieced together information from verypurpleperson , Anna Allen & FarahAJH to make my prototype.
It was really easy to make, and probably my most successful project I've made without a commercial pattern yet (yay!). Because this dress was just a trial run, I didn't line it and was a bit lazy with 'proper' dressmaking techniques. I'm hoping to get a nicer, more wearable version made soon!
There's a bit more info on my blog, including some pictures I took showing how I altered the pattern – I Wish I Were Nancy Drew.
Super-cheap, see-through, starchy and nasty fabric from Spotlight, which they claim is cotton. I have very serious doubts whether this is true.

Is there a family hurt you can't seem to get past? A word, an action, or a mistake that makes forgiveness seem impossible?Read More »
Well, here's the bad news, we're all sinners. Everyone has broken God's law and deserves the appropriate consequences! But hang on, 'cause there's good news as well!Read More »
Nobody's perfect. Though we may falter now and again, we still hold on to God's promise that He will forgive us, no matter the mistakes we make.Read More »
It's hard to believe that a perfect God would accept us solely on the basis of Jesus' sacrifice for our sins. Can it really be that easy?Read More »
When someone has hurt us, it isn't always easy to forgive. And yet God extends His grace and mercy to us every single day.Read More »
There are situations when forgiveness needs to go beyond a hug and a handshake, moments when confrontation is necessary.Read More »
Start reading a book in the middle of the story and you'll quickly be confused! Let's emphasize the importance of reading the Bible in context, remembering that each verse is part of a single narrative.Read More »
When someone has wounded you deeply it's difficult to offer forgiveness even once. But according to Jesus' teaching in Matthew 18, followers of God are called to extend unlimited grace to those we encounter. Find help for your relationships.Read More »
Some of us explode in anger when we're hurt. Others quietly seethe and turn a cold shoulder to those who've wounded them. Let's explain how embracing a spirit of forgiveness helps us deal with, and overcome, those destructive feelings.Read More »

Eastwood Park is a female closed local prison. It holds both remand and sentenced prisoners, including young women from 17 years. It has a number of wings including a mother and baby unit for up to 12 mothers. The Mary Carpenter Unit is a separate facility for young women aged 16 and 17. Some shared cells are very small and have unscreened toilets.
HMP/YOI Eastwood Park is situated on the edge of the Cotswolds, on the outskirts of the small village of Falfield, on land that was once part of the Eastwood Park Estate.
It opened as a female prison in March 1996, taking in prisoners from HMP Pucklechurch.
The establishment opened a detoxification (substance misuse) unit in 2003, a mother and baby unit in 2004 and, in October 2005, the Mary Carpenter Unit, which holds girls under 18.
Mary Carpenter Unit
Discrete unit for 17-year old young women. Remanded and sentenced young women are allocated by the Youth Justice Board placements team.

Residential 4
Mother and baby unit
Mary Carpenter Unit
There is no Segregation/Separation & Care Unit. Those on Good Order or Discipline (GOOD) are located in their cells on the wings.
Reception Criteria
The prison accepts all female prisoners in its catchment area.
An Education department which offers Basic Skills, wider Key Skills, IT, Cookery, Diversity, Salon Services, Manicure, Preparation for Work, Drug and Alcohol Awareness and Industrial Cleaning.
There is a comprehensive Information, Advice and Guidance Service through Education and a Reducing Re-offending resource, both referring and signposting prisoners to internal and external departments/ agencies focusing on Children and Families, Accommodation, Finance, Drugs and Alcohol, Health, Employment, Training and Education.
There are over thirty voluntary and community organisations visiting the establishment offering support services to the women. In addition Resettlement Fayres are held every 6 weeks which are an excellent opportunity for the women to access the services available to them.
The Mary Carpenter Unit
The Mary Carpenter Unit is a 16 bed unit for 17 year old remanded and sentenced young women, located in the grounds of Eastwood Park women's prison in Gloucestershire. The unit is one of four dedicated units around the country commissioned by the Youth Justice Board to house young women. It opened in October 2005.
The IMB say, "This unit, built recently to house young women under the age of 18 years and funded by the YJB, recently received an excellent report from HMCIP which is certainly an acknowledgement of the efforts and dedication of very hard-working staff who manage some extremely difficult / demanding and very needy young women. MCU is very successful and is the preferred unit to care for young women but there continues to be a concern with regards the dislocation of prisoners from their home and the logistics of arranging visits."
Mother and Baby Unit
Mon: 08:00 - 12:30, 14:00 - 17:15 & 18:00 - 20:00
Mon: 18:45 - 20:00

Every prison has a Chaplaincy department managed by a Co-ordinating Chaplain and supported by admin staff, other Chaplains and 'Sessional Chaplains' (faith leaders who visit for specific services or sessions). The Chaplaincy is considered an important part of the prison structure. When a prisoner arrives at a prison they are usually seen by a Chaplain within 24 hours and are invited to register as a specific religion (if they haven't already done so) and can change their declared religion at any time.
There is a full-time Anglican Chaplain and part-time Catholic and Free Church Chaplains. A female Buddhist Chaplain visits but there is no Muslim Chaplain.
Mormon, Jehovah Witness and Hindu visit as required.

Constraining the response of the hydrological cycle, land surface and regional weather to global climate change.
The aim of this project is to examine much more exhaustively than has previously been possible the climate uncertainties due to uncertainties in how to model land surface effects. This new experiment will be the first combining atmospheric uncertainties with all aspects of land surface uncertainties, including model parameter perturbations and the spatial distribution of land use.
Many of the most important impacts of global warming will probably not be the actual changes in temperature, but the associated changes in hydrology. A warmer atmosphere can contain much more moisture, which we expect to make flash flooding more likely. But the global-mean rainfall is thermodynamically constrained to increase more slowly, so we expect a general tendency to increased drought as well. Yet we cannot constrain any of this well on the more local scales where it matters. This is due to the fact that the spatial scales of precipitation are much smaller than of temperature. Precipitation is much more dependent on smaller-scale circulation and topography. Therefore the agreement between different General Circulation Models (GCMs) is correspondingly poorer.
Within HYDRA this uncertainty in the hydrological cycle on both the global and local scales will be explored. In addition to perturbing the atmospheric model parameters as in previous experiments, the land surface parameters and spatial map of the land use will be perturbed. These maps describe where certain vegetation types occur, such as forest and grassland. This is significant, because the variation between available land use datasets derived from observations is large. Deviations between datasets are a result of different classification and aggregation methods. Only a few studies have explored the impact of these maps on the climate system by comparing a small number of models. With a large ensemble of models this can be explored in much more detail. The differences between ensemble members will be most noticeable on the regional scale.
Uncertainties in the hydrological cycle due to land surface parameterizations can be divided into uncertainties from the spatial distribution of vegetation and from the model parameter values. These parameters regulate processes such as plant carbon uptake by photosynthesis and how precipitation is separated into evapotranspiration to the atmosphere and river runoff. This parameter uncertainty has been studied before with a much smaller coupled model ensemble that could only be run on a supercomputer. From this ensemble it became clear that the climate uncertainties due to the land parameters are as large as from the atmospheric parameters.
The initial focus of this experiment will be on the impact of the time evolution of land cover on the hydrological cycle. What impact did pre-industrial land cover change have on the hydrological responses? How important are current differences between land cover reconstructions for our understanding of hydrological change? Models with a time evolving land use from different datasets will be compared with models where the land use is kept constant over time.
Experiment Design
HadAM3PM2 will be used, which has been set up especially for this experiment. This model is comparable to HadCM3, but there is no dynamic ocean (instead prescribed sea surface temperatures are used). The major difference with HadCM3 is the land surface model (MOSES2), which interacts more dynamically with the atmosphere. It contains a much more detailed coupled carbon and water cycle of the land surface, which means that for instance it is possible to study the effects of an increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration on the hydrological cycle.
For this experiment 50,000 different models will be run, which is only possible with your help. These consist of 10-year runs spanning the years 1959 to 2002, with an overlap of two years to account for the spin up of the moisture in the soil, which is an important variable in this experiment. The differences between the models are the atmospheric and land surface parameter values and the land cover maps.
HYDRA is part of the NERC CWC (Changing Water Cycle) program. The project involves scientists from CEH, University of Exeter, Met Office and the University of Oxford.

Follow us:
DARLINGTON, South Carolina--Regan Smith moved in front on a caution nine laps from the end and survived a green-white-checker finish to win the Southern 500 on Saturday for his first NASCAR Sprint Cup victory.
Smith held off Carl Edwards for the final two laps at Darlington Raceway in a race that turned ugly late when Kyle Busch tangled with Kevin Harvick and Clint Bowyer to set up the overtime finish.
"I'm not supposed to win this race. I've never even had a top-five. I guess in this series, it just shows anyone can win,'' said Smith, whose previous best this season was a seventh at the Daytona 500.
After the race, Harvick stopped in front of Busch on pit road and attempted to punch or grab Busch through his window. Busch then slammed into Harvick's empty car, sending it crashing in the inside wall.
After Harvick got back into his car, the two stared each other down as they entered the garage. The standoff finally ended when Busch bumped Harvick several times to make space to drive off.
Brad Keselowski finished third, pole-sitter Kasey Kahne was fourth and Ryan Newman fifth.
Edwards appeared to be heading to his first Darlington victory with 10 laps remaining in what had been about 490 miles (788 kilometers) of relatively calm racing. Things changed when Jeff Burton brought out the 10th and final caution, setting up a restart with five laps left and many of NASCAR's best drivers not far from the lead.
Busch, Harvick and Bowyer wound up driving next to each other in too tight of a space and Bowyer was sent sprawling into the interior wall. As cars spun out behind, Busch veered down the track and sent Harvick spinning.
Smith bobbled slightly on the final lap, but regained control and took off for the victory. He won for the first time in 105 Sprint Cup starts.
"We've had some ups and we've had some downs, this is an up,'' said Smith.
Smith's win, though, will likely be overshadowed by the confrontation between Harvick and Busch, who have a history of antagonism. Harvick admittedly wrecked into Busch on purpose late in last season's finale at Homestead in retaliation for earlier contact.
"Just uncalled for. Just unacceptable racing,'' said Busch. "You know, it's in the last couple of laps but I gave him room off of two, I didn't get the room. Just real unfortunate. I hate we tore up a few good cars there.''
Edwards said all drivers have a passion for racing that can leave them frustrated at times.
"This is racing,'' said Edwards. "You're going to have stuff like that. I think all of us know that can happen and we should be prepared."
Before the end, the most frightening incident came when the nose of David Ragan's car peeled off the sheet metal on the left side of Brian Vicker's vehicle, leaving a long trail of debris.

Wi-Fi use in the air is slow to take off
Travelers are treating in-flight Wi-Fi like a bag of peanuts: They'll take it, if it's free.
Airlines are spending millions of dollars to equip planes with Wi-Fi capability. But only a small percentage of travelers have used the service since it was introduced in 2008, numbers from providers and analysts indicate.
"It is certainly something everyone recognizes as a value, both to the airlines and the passengers," says Michael Planey, an industry analyst at H&M Planey Consultants. "The question is at what point do airlines or service providers make money or stem losses?"
Airlines and in-flight Wi-Fi providers won't disclose how much the service is used.
But Amy Cravens, a senior analyst at In-Stat who studies the Wi-Fi market, estimates that the percentage of people on a flight with Wi-Fi who sign up for the service is small. She says, however, that it's increased from an average of 4% in 2010 to 7% in 2011, and that it could reach 10% this year.
The chief reason travelers have been slow to log in is price, analysts say. It can cost up to $14.95 per flight.
"As more and more Wi-Fi is available in on-the-ground locations — at the airport, the hotel, the restaurant or cafe — for free, the consumer expectation is that Wi-Fi will be free even though it's a totally different beast in-flight," Cravens says.
Airlines equipped with leading Wi-Fi service provider Gogo — about 85% of North American aircraft that provide Internet — point out that Gogo sets the pricing.
"There are real costs associated with having Wi-Fi onboard our aircraft," says US Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher.
For other travelers, the desire to unplug is the deterrent to logging on.
"I love being up there, settling in, watching mindless television and films, and reading," says Andria Mitsakos, owner of a public relations firm in New York. "I do really enjoy the time away from being 'reachable' and the evil red light on my BlackBerry."
Airlines won't disclose what Wi-Fi costs them. But Gogo, in its recent IPO filing, reported losing money every year. It's starting to reverse that trend, though. In the first nine months of 2011, Gogo lost $26.5 million, down from $66.4 million in that period the year before.
Airlines don't question Wi-Fi's value, though. "It is absolutely worth the investment," says Rahsaan Johnson, a spokesman for United.

To help prepare Jesse beyond his years of driving experience and past history at Baja, we thought we would give him a nice quiet ride through a landmine field. With explosive charges set to fire randomly, he will have to drive his truck around a most formidable field of flying dirt and debris. While the military has sophisticated equipment to detect landmines and take their time navigating a field of them, Jesse will have to rely on instinct and cat-like reflexes to avoid becoming a projectile himself as he zips through the field in his truck. The simulation will be sobering. Driving the Baja course means poor visibility and unknown obstacles, and even at 30mph he will have only a few 10ths of second to react, let alone when he opens it up on the flats. This will be a true test of preparedness and one Jesse needs to take seriously.
We don't stop there though. Just for the heck of it, for both destructive purpose and science, we launch a truck into the air to examine the impact should Jesse's vehicle become airborne and flip while racing. Loaded with accelerometers and special equipment, we record impacts both to the truck and to the driver to get an idea of the true dangers involved with this kind of racing. Baja racing is not for the weak at heart or those just looking to kick up a little dirt. If a vehicle flips moving at speed, impacts are not only severe, they may be deadly. Being airborne in a vehicle may not be new for Jesse, but being airborne upside down would be; and not something he wants to see while racing the Baja.
Sure, from the outside it may look like another dirt race, but with an unforgiving landscape that was never meant for cars, let alone humans, Jesse will have to draw on every skill he has to keep his vehicle moving and his mind sharp. Over hours of racing in dry heat, dehydration, heat exhaustion, and dirt flying impeding his line of sight, this is anything but ordinary. Once again, Jesse is put to the test to see if he can evade disaster and live to see another day.
David Sandler is the Science Advisor for 'Jesse James is a Dead Man', and President and Co-Founder of StrengthPro, Inc. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

A vending machine isn't shockproof. Just like women.Posted by Marc van Gurp | 8-04-2014 16:00 | Category: Violence, Women's Issues
It seems bizarre to compare a woman with a machine. Until you see the behavior of some men.
That is what has been done in this campaign from Moscow for social organisation Who cares?!.
A Helpless Machine makes use of a faulty vending machine with a female persona that tests a man's propensity for aggression. The machine has been set up with a series of vibration and display sensors. Hitting the machine will eventually relieve the stuck snacks that he has purchased, but it makes the woman on the screen very scared.
Alexander Stefanets, project creator at agency Hungry Boys: "We want to draw attention to a problem that is hidden behind closed doors. We want to show how easy it is to ruffle a man's feathers. If he permits himself to become aggressive in public because of some 'trifles' we can only begin to imagine what might happen within his own home. The Helpless Machine is an effective and hard-hitting way of getting this message across not only in Russian but across the globe."

Lil Wayne Reps Packers at Super Bowl, Birdman Wins a Milli
Lil Wayne was seeing green and yellow after his Green Bay Packers took home the NFL Championship at Sunday's Super Bowl XLV in Dallas, Texas. The longtime Packers fan, proudly wearing a cheesehead hat in honor of the Wisconsin team, watched the big game from a private suite inside Cowboys Stadium with his YMCMB family including Drake, Lil Twist, and Baby.
"Green and Yellow! Green and f#%kin Yellow!" tweeted Tunechi following the Pack's 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Weezy wasn't the only one flaunting his cheese. Birdman stacked his cheddar by placing a million-dollar bet on Green Bay. "LETS GO PAINT THE TOWN RED… JUST CASHED IN A MILLI," he wrote. More money to blow.
