They've been tweeting that they will open on November 16th. I think this hotel has one of the best locations in town, no other hotels can compete with the exclusivity that this one has other than the Jumeirah hotels (Burj, JBH and Madinat)
Dubai and other parts of the world.

Four Seasons Dubai: Heres whats inside
Dubais new Four Seasons hotel doesnt need a chandelier in its lobby.
Perfectly framed in a two-story window is the impossibly blue Arabian Gulf, the first thing guests will see as they walk into the lobby on opening day this Sunday.
It was dazzling enough to stop me in my tracks, and Ive seen everything a five-star Dubai hotel can throw at you (hello, hot-pink duplex suites!).
The first entry for the Four Seasons into the UAE (one had been planned on the Creek, before the downturn; a property is now under construction in Abu Dhabi on Al Maryah Island) is in an unusual, and priceless, location: Jumeirah Beach Road. Anyone driving down the road in the last year has probably wondered whats going on inside the development, so heres a sneak preview of the exciting things to come from a New York nightclub to a magical couples spa treatment.
UAE residents can really get stuck in something F&B director Florence Zwicky (another Beverley Wilshire veteran) says is an important part of the hotels presence in Jumeirah.
With the restaurant village, we have doubled the offering of options for guests and residents ... [its] a one-stop shop. You dont have to drive to the Marina or DIFC. We are right in the middle and we have lots of options to combine with a spa treatment, with retail, or to cater any private function.
That Restaurant Village is the plant-covered building on Beach Road, home to five concepts, still to open, and managed by outside companies. Youve heard there will be a nightclub: We can confirm its Provocateur, a super-exclusive and intimate New York club that will be on the top floor.
Its a super-sophisticated, stylish, sexy venue to complement our rooftop lounge, which is open-air, continued Zwicky.
French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, known for blending European and Asian cuisines, will operate one fine-dining and one casual concept. Last but not least, theres Nusret, a Turkish steakhouse, and Coya, a London-based modern Peruvian restaurant.
The main hotel building is five storeys, with a rooftop bar and restaurant, Mercury Lounge, that gives a unique view over low-rise Jumeirah and the entire Shaikh Zayed Road skyline. A party with a view of the Burj Khalifa and resident DJ Opolopo on New Years Eve here will set you back Dh2,015 (get it?). If youve driven past the hotel, you may have spied turrets, which are actually private majlis areas.
There are 237 rooms, of which 49 are suites, and three are special suites presidential, royal and penthouse all inside the hotel overlooking the sea. There are two pools, one for families and one a peaceful adult oasis, and every hour, staff will come by with a treat think ice cream, fruit. Want them to leave you alone? We cant imagine why you would, but you do have a do-not-disturb button on your lounger, should you feel that way.
The beach and pool areas are open to hotel guests only, but dont wail, Dubai residents: You can enjoy the beachfront from Sea Fu, a licenced seafood restaurant that has a large terrace on the shoreline. Its one of five food and beverage outlets in the hotel, and serves both Asian and Mediterranean treatments of seasonal seafood. When I walked in on Thursday, the chef was cooking up a pot of bouillabaisse, which was to be served two ways, classic French style; the broth and the fish. But beside him in the open kitchen is a row of flaming woks, testament to the dual cuisines served; think crudo vs sashimi; whole fish roasted in salt, or grilled, Japanese-style.
Overseeing the food is executive chef Gilles Arzur, a Frenchman whose previous posting was at Los Angeles Beverly Wilshire yes, thats the hotel in Pretty Woman, where the bathtub is bigger than the Blue Banana. Saying it would be easier to count the non-celebrities than celebrities hes cooked for, Arzur comes across as undaunted by the UAEs seen-it-all hotelgoers.
Sea fu... is not a fusion. Its very authentic dishes from both sides, explained Arzur. A few items are sharing on the table, like crudo, peking duck with mango, then of course on the main course we have simple grilled fish, very simple, but high end quality fish, from Japan or Europe, wherever the season is. Guests can choose sides that are Asian or Mediterranean, a couple of sauces. Something that will come in a couple of days is a nice seafood platter. You want to spend time and enjoy. Theres no pressure. Its not a stiff approach youre on the beach. We want guests to be relaxed.
All-day dining is at Suq, with live cooking stations including a pizza oven, a juice bar (kale included should any LA celebrities drop in), a coffee bar and in-house bakery with the feel of a rustic French shop. Food here is also served on an outdoor terrace. Then theres the sunny afternoon-tea-ready Shai Salon, and the more masculine Hendricks, all deep purple velvet and cigars.
Spa junkies: Treatments at the Pearl Spa use Natura Bisse and Sodashi products. If youve got an anniversary or honeymoon planned, the private couples treatment suite is one not to miss: Theres a massage room, wet treatment room with a huge bathtub, a private relaxation room and the kicker a couples rasoul room. Get in, get covered in three kinds of spa mud and lounge on steamy, warm marble. You dont really know your partner until youve seen them head-to-toe in mud, right?
The Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach opens to the public on November 16, 2014. Introductory rates start at Dh2,204 per night; call 04-2707777.

Out of sight he has been slumbering, this mythical giant, this living embodiment of nuclear anxiety. But now the beast has once again awakened, in payment for our sins …
I refer not to Godzilla the monster, but to Godzilla the franchise, which last laid waste to these shores 16 years ago. If anything, it's a bit of a surprise that it's taken this long for a reboot to rear its spiky head. After all, the big guy has near-universal name recognition, he's tailor-made for the Age of CGI, and—let's face it—we all still need to wash the taste of Roland Emmerich's version out of our mouths. To this day, his 1998 Godzilla stands tall among the most unfathomably ill-conceived blockbusters of all time. Matthew Broderick? I love the actor, but the only Godzilla he has any business starring in is a Broadway musical. Maria Pitillo? Best I can tell, she went directly from her Razzie-winning performance into the witness protection program. And the monster itself? A whippy, sour-faced iguana that turned the entire project into an exercise in identity theft.
The bar, in other words, was set low for director Gareth Edwards's reintroduction of Toho Studio's Finest. And for a time, the movie clears it easily. We begin, in 1999, with Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston), an American engineer in charge of a fictional nuclear plant in the shadow of Mount Fuji. There's been an earthquake in the Philippines, and tremors are now being felt in Japan. Or are they tremors? They seem too regular, almost as if they were caused by …? It's a thought that goes unfinished, as the plant begins to shudder apart. The core is breached and the facility evacuated, but not before terrible losses of life have been sustained.
Fifteen years later, Joe still can't get past that day. Something else happened, he's sure of it, something that's being covered up. So he studies seismographs. He reads books on animal echolocation. And he trespasses, repeatedly, in the quarantine zone surrounding the demolished nuclear plant. On one of these occasions he's caught by Japanese authorities, who summon his grown son, Ford (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), to come bail him out. Ford, a Navy lieutenant and ordnance disposal technician, has only just returned home from a tour of duty to his family in San Francisco, but he hops a plane for Japan nonetheless. There his dad enlists him in the family obsession. Tremors just like those that preceded the terrible accident at the plant have begun again, and father and son are intent on getting to the bottom of them.
It's an excellent start to the film, heavy with foreboding and punctuated by genuine loss. And sure enough, when Joe and Ford infiltrate the quarantine zone together, they find at its center a secret facility performing experiments on a giant, larval monster that feeds on nuclear radiation. Yes—it's Godzilla!
Actually, no, it's not Godzilla. And it is here that the movie begins its long downhill slide. This is another giant radioactive monster—dubbed the Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism, or MUTO—and it was responsible for the 1999 tragedy at the plant. Nor is it alone: a second variation of the ickily insectoid species soon makes an appearance as well. From here the plot proceeds in an utterly straight line—or, to be more precise, three intersecting lines—of giant-monster rampage. The MUTOs want to meet and mate, and Godzilla wants in on the party for reasons of his own. The paths of the three gargantuas are set to converge—who'd have guessed?—in San Francisco, right on top of Ford's wife (Elizabeth Olsen) and young son.

Here's our list of reasons for doing our annual Federal List issue
The most direct, most efficient form of communication is a list. Whether it's a shopping list, a to-do list, a comma-separated values list, David Letterman's Top 10 list or Craigslist, the act of compiling names, things or ideas one after the other has a magical effect on us all.
A list grabs our attention quickly and serves almost as a call to action. (Ask any magazine editor mocking up a cover for the newsstand. Heck, ask Craig Newmark!) Here at Federal Computer Week, we have long harbored the concept of a Federal List, which, even if you don't get the pun, captures the many threads that run through our coverage of government technology.
This year's special issue is designed to move the conversation beyond our current fixations. You might well ask why. And I might just as well give you our list of reasons.
1. Expand the horizons. We offer pointers to the wealth of resources that are reshaping the technology landscape. It's not just about hardware and software anymore. It's about information and the new ways we go about collecting and sharing it.
2. Keep looking ahead. Our writers and editors have focused a lot of attention this year on the ins and outs of such issues as the yet-to-be-named federal cybersecurity coordinator, government procurement and acquisition reform, electronic health records, and the government's use of social media. Here's our chance to gaze into the future and see what's coming next.
3. Showcase our wide-ranging expertise. The editors of Government Computer News and Washington Technology don't just share office space with us. We meet every day to discuss news developments and what they mean for our readers. See what our colleagues have to say about pace-setting dot-gov Web features and the trend-setting companies that serve the government technology market.
4. Take stock of your interests. We now have many more ways to identify — and respond to — the topics that matter most to our readers. We get daily statistics on users of FCW.com, and visitors can chime in on any story we post online. Here are lists of the top stories this past spring and summer, and the ones you commented on most.
5. Have fun. We asked our readers to send us their job descriptions in the form of tweets. You'll see their 140-character responses sprinkled throughout the issue. And cartoonist John Klossner fills the back page with his own list: "5 clues that your IT project isn't going to get the green light."
Next step: Send us your counter-lists. We'll post them on FCW.com and print the best ones in future issues of the magazine.

Clinical significance of p21(WAF1/CIP1) and p53 expression in serous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary.
ABSTRACT There have been many reports indicating that the down-regulation of p21(WAF1/CIP1) is related to carcinogenesis and the development of various tumors; nevertheless, its association with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains controversial. In this study, we focused on serous ovarian cancer, which is the most prevalent histological type, and performed immunohistochemical analysis to examine the expression of p21(WAF1/CIP1) and p53 in 43 cases of serous-type EOC sourced from a single University Hospital: 14 stage I, 4 stage II, 21 stage III, and 4 stage IV. Positive p21(WAF1/CIP1) was found in 24 of 43 cases (56%), and positive p53 was detected in 21 of 43 cases (49%). Among stage III/IV cases, positive p21(WAF1/CIP1) staining was found in 11 of 25 cases (44%), and positive p53 staining was detected in 13 of 25 cases (52%). Univariate survival analysis for the entire cohort revealed that positive p21(WAF1/CIP1) was associated with a survival benefit. The 10-year survival rates of p21(WAF1/CIP1)-positive staining and p21(WAF1/CIP1)-negative staining were 82.4 and 39.5%, respectively, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (p<0.01). Overall survival for p21(WAF1/CIP1)-positive with p53-negative staining [p21(+)/p53(-)] was significantly different from p21(WAF1/CIP1)-positive with p53-positive [p21(+)/p53(+)], p21(WAF1/CIP1)-negative with p53-positive staining [p21(-)/p53(+)], and p21(WAF1/CIP1)-negative with p53-negative staining [p21(-)/p53(-)] (p<0.05). When only III/IV cases were evaluated, overall survival for [p21(+)/p53(-)] was significantly different from [p21(+)/p53(+)], [p21(-)/p53(+)], and [p21(-)/p53(-)] (p<0.05). These results suggested that the overexpression of p21(WAF1/CIP1) in conjunction with the loss of p53 expression was a stronger predictor of survival benefit than either molecule alone in Japanese serous-type advanced ovarian cancers with more than 10-year follow-up.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer is characterized by the highest mortality rate among gynecologic malignancies. Therefore, there is a growing need for innovative therapies and techniques for monitoring and prevention of this disease. The exact cause of most ovarian tumors usually remains unknown. Ovarian cancer is believed to be caused by a range of different variables. This review is an attempt to summarize some genetic factors involved in the disruption of certain signaling pathways responsible for ovarian tumor transformation and development. Those factors considerably contribute to accurate diagnostics, treatment and prognosis in ovarian cancer.Frontiers in Bioscience 01/2013; 18:543-63. · 3.29 Impact Factor
Article: Modest effect of p53, EGFR and HER-2/neu on prognosis in epithelial ovarian cancer: a meta-analysis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: P53, EGFR and HER-2/neu are the most frequently studied molecular biological parameters in epithelial ovarian cancer, but their prognostic impact is still unequivocal. We performed a meta-analysis to more precisely estimate their prognostic significance. Published studies that investigated the association between p53, EGFR and HER-2/neu status and survival were identified. Meta-analysis was performed using a DerSimonian-Laird model. Publication bias was investigated using funnel plots and sources of heterogeneity were identified using meta-regression analysis. A total of 62 studies were included for p53, 15 for EGFR and 20 for HER-2/neu. P53, EGFR and HER-2/neu status had a modest effect on overall survival (pooled HR 1.47, 95% CI 1.33-1.61 for p53; HR 1.65, 95% CI 1.25-2.19 for EGFR and HR 1.67, 95% CI 1.34-2.08 for HER-2/neu). Meta-regression analysis for p53 showed that FIGO stage distribution influenced study outcome. For EGFR and HER-2/neu, considerable publication bias was present. Although p53, EGFR and HER-2/neu status modestly influences survival, these markers are, by themselves, unlikely to be useful as prognostic markers in clinical practice. Our study highlights the need for well-defined, prospective clinical trials and more complete reporting of results of prognostic factor studies.British Journal of Cancer 07/2009; 101(1):149-59. · 5.08 Impact Factor
Article: Immunohistochemical profiling of benign, low malignant potential and low grade serous epithelial ovarian tumors.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Serous epithelial ovarian tumors can be subdivided into benign (BOV), low malignant potential (LMP) or borderline and invasive (TOV) tumors. Although the molecular characteristics of serous BOV, LMP and low grade (LG) TOV tumors has been initiated, definitive immunohistochemical markers to distinguish between these tumor types have not been defined. In the present study, we used a tissue array composed of 27 BOVs, 78 LMPs and 23 LG TOVs to evaluate the protein expression of a subset of selected candidates identified in our previous studies (Ape1, Set, Ran, Ccne1 and Trail) or known to be implicated in epithelial ovarian cancer disease (p21, Ccnb1, Ckd1). Statistically significant difference in protein expression was observed for Ccnb1 when BOV tumors were compared to LMP tumors (p = 0.003). When BOV were compared to LG TOV tumors, Trail was significantly expressed at a higher level in malignant tumors (p = 0.01). Expression of p21 was significantly lower in LG tumors when compared with either BOVs (p = 0.03) or LMPs (p = 0.001). We also observed that expression of p21 was higher in LMP tumors with no (p = 0.02) or non-invasive (p = 0.01) implants compared to the LMP associated with invasive implants. This study represents an extensive analyse of the benign and highly differentiated ovarian disease from an immunohistochemical perspective.BMC Cancer 12/2008; 8:346. · 3.33 Impact Factor

Proven Liar Says Obama Firing Military Leaders Who Won't Kill U.S. Citizens?Submitted by JoeDanger on Tue, 01/22/2013 - 20:29
This guy does a great investigative write-up and even calls out some dis-info agents along the way. Take heed.
Word is out that President Obama is firing military leaders who refuse to give the order to shoot U.S. citizens. Places like InfoWars (get it?), IntelHub, and Before It's News are already out on top of this one.
It's called a campaign of tension. The point it too create unrest and FEAR. Terrorism by another name. One aspect is the ground attack like the American Gladio campaign. The complimentary assault is called the Information Wars, propaganda designed to keep us fearful and turning against one another.
Come on folks, it's all based on the say-so of "Dr." Jim Garrow, a guy who is
an admitted child trafficker
proven liar on multiple fronts
professional shyster running a couple unregistered "not-for-profit" rackets
… and his information comes from an "undisclosed' former U.S. military leader/ "hero" (Patreaus? Ollie North? John McCain?)
It's bullshit folks. Don't get sucked into it.

Interesting, THIS Scott Creighton is also from Tampa.
Gee, a job at the Joint Chiefs...
A son perhaps, or is the disability a ruse?
Some nobody claims Obama is s#itcanning officers that will not kill Americans.
This nobody claims that the first nobody kidnaps chinese baby girls and sets up adoptions for them outside China.
Neither have anything backing their stories, who is more credible?
Baby girls are executed or aborted in China, IIRC.

Creighton, apparently, prefers their demise over their adoption.
Thank you, JD.
Earlier today, when reading the Paul Watson article at PrisonPlanet, my first thought (when I finished) was "yeah, 'unnamed military,' okay."
I don't know who Jim Garrow is, or don't remember anything from the past, but I laughed about Watson's article.
Name your "source," guys. Oh, you made it up? You're lying to us (again)? Well, at least you're consistent.
PJW & AJ: "Trust us!"
Me: "Nope."
I see nothing here but smear, innuendo and conjecture.

IDK about this guy .. a buddy of mine is in ROTC at WI school they have just asked him if would go to citizens doors and ask for thier guns ... HE said F NO

"Real Hip Hop," Lil Wayne/Zulu Nation, A$AP Ferg, Ferguson reaction + your calls
in Music
Lots going on in hip hop music and culture, in and out of our New York area. Call in and speak your mind!
This week, we'll respond to a critic of our coverage on our mothership site, Birthplace Magazine. While most of the NY-area hip hop living audience and independent musicians who follow us are extremely supportive of our work, one had a problem with our coverage, going so far as to claim we don't represent "real hip hop."
Despite an accompanying asinine derogatory comment, we're going to talk about it. We'll defend our coverage of course, but also discuss the uselessness of the phrase "real hip hop," and how idiotic it is to critique anyone for not adhering to something that simply doesn't exist.
Along the lines of hip hop purist and traditionalist leanings, we'll also talk about Lil Wayne, who has become a member of the Universal Zulu Nation. We'll discuss what this might mean for hip hop music and culture as a whole.
We'll also discuss new releases, including the lastest from A$AP Ferg and others.
And we'll cover the recent non-indictment in Ferguson, over the shooting death of Michael Brown, and speak a bit about how artists & organizations should proceed when it comes to dealing with the aftermath of this situation.
All that, with YOUR CALLS!

Are AP Classes A Waste of Time?
in Education
Dartmouth College recently joined the chorus of universities that refuse to offer college credit for Advanced Placement (AP) courses. This move leads many families to ask the burning question: are AP classes a waste of time? I have had several interactions with college officials that have influenced my thoughts on the subject and about high school course selection in general.
When AP classes are being considered, there are two areas to be weighed: the use of AP classes as means to receive college credit and the use of AP classes as a tool for college admission.

Taking a taxi in Dalian can be a difficult task for us expats and it can be difficult to navigate, especially with the language barrier.
Not everyone gets a seat when they travel for Chinese New Year - many sit or stand wherever they can find space, often for more than 24 hours

Spring 2006
June 29, 2005
Location: Milan
Designer: Frida Giannini
Owned By: Gucci Group
Founded: 1921, Florence
History: What started out as a small luggage and leather-goods shop founded by Guccio Gucci is one of the world's most prominent fashion empires. Guccio's sons led the brand to luxury-goods ascendance in the seventies, but it wasn't until Tom Ford's arrival in 1994 that the label's clothes started to outshine the accessories. Fendi alum Frida Giannini took over in 2005, repositioning the brand with a lighter, brighter, and more youthful aesthetic. "The typology of the Gucci man," Giannini has said, "is strong, young, confident—kind of a bad boy."

"I love how it matches the invitation and it's a great addition for many things such as favors etc. Just wish they had matching THANK YOU notes and we would be set!"
"I used these on the Valentine's my daughter took to school for her friends. They were great. I sealed all her little gift bags with the sticker. It made things so easy and adorable. They are darling!"
"With 7 nieces it's always handy to have gift wrap at the ready. I've bought some pink paper which perfectly matches these lovely labels."
"I had my daughter-in-laws name placed on these...... "Mandy's Baby Shower" and the date of the baby shower underneath..... added a very personal touch to the shower gifts for those attending her shower. Loved the design."
"Stickers are super cute! I've been using Tiny Prints for many years now and they never disappoint. I got it super quick and even a Thank you card from Troy. :)"
