near to saw airport
it location
Room Services is very bad .. House keeping Also very bad ..(no minibar refill) aggressive attitude of the staff .. Only one staff at the reception she was nice In general attitude and behavior is not of the standard of a 5 stars hotel at all ..
Breakfast, cleanliness, comfort, furniture. My flight arrived in Sabiha Airport, the asian part of istanbul and th hotel was perfect for my needs. If you're planning to visit the european side/istanbul old city then you should look for a hotel there. Otherwise, this is just perfect.
Outdoor pool Roof Restaurant Convenience for airport Safety Polite staff A good fish meal on the roof
Said they would deal with light bulb replacement 3 times and yet nothing was done. Had to ask twice for help with TV and still did not see anyone in my room and could not get off one Turkish channel.
the services , breakfast very well, the room comfort
the location didn't have good markets or malls , and no metro station near of it
Room was very good and with big space. Staff very polite and helpful
Breakfast could be improved. The location is extremely good for business-working activity in Tuzla area but it is on a Major road D 100 so quite noisy and with no possibility to move if not by taxi
Very clean hotel. Staff very professional. Free valet parking. Hotel is located 15 minute drive from Sabiha Airport and Via Port Outlet Mall. This hotel is ideal if staying in the Asian side of Istanbul. I was given free upgrade to suite due to non availability of standard room.
Far from the European side of Istanbul. It takes almost one hour if no traffic to reach Sultan Ahmet area or Taksim Square.
Every thinks was good
Them service was good
It is convenient if you have to take a flight at SAW airport, Excelent Spa
The room and bathroom was excellent
spa is a disaster
Next week I wil come back I like divan hotel excellent staff and excellent room very clean room and excellent berkfast
I like divan hotel ;)
+ Very nice rooftop bar & restaurnt with outside dining and beautiful sunset view + Delicious food in the restaurant + Very nice staf, nice rooms, nice gym, nice inside pool, nice outside pool
- Location is only 10 minutes from Sabiha airport, but not in an attractive part of Istanbul. You will need a taxi to go somewhere.

I'm a down to earth person who loves animals and horses are my favorite. I like to go riding in the mountains cause it's away from people. I dont put up with any drama and I drop people in the blink of an eye if they aren't who they say they are, full of drama or mess with people's emotions. To most people that's intimidating cause I say what's on my mind. I've dealt with too much in my life to deal with moronic people. I have my own things to worry about right now.

Mortal Kombat Getting a Reboot and Hopefully a Better Theme Song
Warner Bros. wants to reboot the Mortal Kombat franchise with screenwriter Oren Uziel. Uziel's screenplay for Shimmer Lake is considered one of the best unproduced scripts in Hollywood. I don't care who writes the thing. But I don't Uwe Boll anywhere near this thing. I doubt Warner Bros. would let that happen anyway. I just know it's damn near impossible to make a good video game movie. And Mortal Kombat is my favorite fighting video game of all time, so I expect alot.
The first Mortal Kombat movie was surprisingly good. I think it was sort of the beginning of long take, heavily choreagraphed fighting sequences in American movies and they took the material pretty serious. It could've easily been a Power Rangers movie. I was a little disappointed that Raiden was an old white guy with gray hair instead of the exact same guy from Big Trouble in Little China, but I guess the character called for some wisdom, and some good acting. The second movie made me vomit tho. Hopefully they take the material serious again and give us a bloody treat of a movie. But it's gonna be tough living up to the legacy that Tekken is sure to leave behind.

Predict Your Child's Health Future
Hereditary Risk: Medium to High
Most Vulnerable: It depends on the type. A child whose dad has type 1 (also known as insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes) has a one in 17 chance of inheriting the disease. But if his mom has type 1--and was under age 25 when he was born--the child's risk is one in 25. If she gave birth after age 25, the child's risk slips down to one in 100. However, if both parents have type 1, the risk can be as high as one in four. Type 2 (the form that's linked to weight) has a stronger genetic component. If one parent has type 2, the child's risk is between one in seven and one in 13, but with two parents, the risk is one in two. A family history of type 2, however, only seems to matter if a child is also overweight, says Dr. Bachman. In fact, the number of kids with type 2 (once called adult-onset diabetes) is now skyrocketing because of the childhood- obesity epidemic. While Caucasians have the highest incidence of type 1 diabetes, type 2 is most common in African Americans and Latinos. Both types increase the risk of heart disease, kidney disease, nerve problems, and impaired vision.
Best Defenses: Some research suggests that breastfeeding and not introducing solids until a baby is 6 months old may slightly reduce the risk of type 1, but preventive strategies have a greater impact on type 2. Make sure your child is physically active and eats a diet rich in fruits, veggies, whole grains, and "good" vegetable oils like olive and canola. Some experts advise limiting refined starches like potatoes and white bread in kids at risk. A blood test to detect type 2 is recommended after age 10 for kids who are overweight or have a family history.

For the period ended June 30, earnings increased 12.3 percent to $22.8 million, or 32 cents per diluted share, from $20.3 million, or 28 cents per share, as sales climbed to $310.1 million from $284.2 million. Earnings results include the benefits of currency exchange.
For the six months ended June 30, earnings grew 16.4 percent to $40.5 million, or 57 cents per diluted share, from $34.8 million, or 47 cents per share, a year prior.
Overshadowing the strong results were concerns of the impending direct-selling regulations in China. In a conference call, Truman Hunt, president and chief executive officer, laid out the company's plans to ease into the transition of direct selling in that country.
"We continue to believe that China will very quickly become one of the top three direct-selling markets in the future. Our business in China was built with eventual direct selling in mind, but because we are aware of potential transition challenges, we have been very proactive in educating our sales force in anticipating becoming a direct seller. Whenever changes are made, there is always an absorption period required, but I believe our transition in China will be considerably smoother than what some of our competitors faced."
The worry, though, was simply in anticipation. Nu Skin's revenue in Greater China still increased 8 percent in the second quarter, to $64.1 million from $59.1 million.
Due to some currency volatility in Japan, the company revised its second-half guidance from 7 cents per share to 4 cents per share. The adjustment, however, does not effect its year-end guidance. The company expects third-quarter earnings per share of 29 to 30 cents, and fourth-quarter earnings per share of 32 to 34 cents.

Jim Bentley's men lie comfortably in lower mid-table on 55 points with two games of the League Two campaign remaining, one shy of last term's final tally.
By contrast, the Gulls are battling for their Football League status and Roche hopes the intensity of the occasion can bring the best out of his team-mates as they look to better last year's efforts.
"In one way it's a very good game to play in because there's something at stake," he said.
"Okay there's nothing at stake for us, in the grand scheme of things, but there's a hell of a lot at stake for Torquay so it's going to be a tense game.
"I imagine that will help the atmosphere so we're looking forward to it.
"We want to finish on as many points as possible. We're desperate to get past that 56 point mark."

There isn't anything wrong with living a political life, Sonny Bunch argues in The Washington Free Beacon. "Politics is important; political decisions have
consequences; and passionately arguing for your preferred political
outcomes is nothing to be ashamed of," he writes. "A politicized life is a different beast, however. It treats
politics as a zero-sum game or a form of total warfare in which the
other side must be obliterated. It alters every aspect of your being:
where you shop; what you watch on TV; what sort of music you listen to;
who you associate with. If you're not with the politicized being, you're
against him -- and if you're against him, he is well within his rights to
ruin you personally and economically. You, the political other, are a
leper to be shunned."
His lament really resonates with me.
"I don't worry too much about growing partisan gridlock," Bunch goes on, "but I do worry somewhat about an America in which each half of the country hates the other so viscerally that they won't even interact." I agree that there is cause for concern. But I also think it's a mistake to conceive of the problem as halves of the country pitted against one another, because I think and hope that many more Americans are uncomfortable with the attitude Bunch describes than embrace it.
The biggest advantage the politicized being has is that no one wants to vocally disagree with someone who seems to have no compunction about trying to destroy everyone who disagrees with them. How many academics stand up to the one politicized member of the tenure committee? Who needs to make an enemy of the least ethical person on a small faculty where you'll spend the next decade? How many bureaucrats call out the politicized appointee running their agency?
The incentives just don't add up.
If you're a political journalist, and you hear Keith Olbermann or Bill O'Reilly or Lawrence O'Donnell or Mark Levin offend against basic human decency in an attempt to destroy an ideological adversaries, calling them out, especially if you're seen as "on their side." is going to make you the target of angry, profane attacks from their fans. Lackey bloggers are likely to publish blog posts that stop just short of actionable libel. You'll never be invited on the pundits' shows or possibly even their network when you've got a book to sell. And for your trouble, all you've accomplished is speaking up about behavior that people you care to reach already know to be wrongheaded. I have idiosyncratic ideas about the importance of a certain kind of public discourse, no ambition to work for an ideological movement, a social circle composed of friends who don't give a damn who I criticize, and an employer with the motto "of no party or clique."
And even I often find it an unpleasant hassle to make these criticisms.
I persist because I believe it's within the power of a silent majority to change the incentive system. Bullying often turns out to be easier to stop than expected once the bully is sufficiently confronted. There are, however, ten thousand deserving projects out there.
Do I blame liberals who spent their time during the Bush Administration calling out policies they found deeply wrongheaded and ignoring Olbermann's excesses? No, I totally understand their priorities.
Almost no one at National Review today approaches politics in the way that Michael Walsh recommends:
Don't make nice with them, don't play fair with them, don't reach across the aisle and above all, treat them and their ideas with exactly the same amount of respect with which they treat yours: none. Contempt is the only language they understand. Remember that, thanks to Hillary Clinton and the rest of the Alinsky Left, the personal is now political, so get personal; all's fair in love and war, and politics isn't love. As Pat Caddell just reminded the GOP, his team plays to win, and doesn't really much care how it does it -- 'by any means necessary' is their motto. If you're not using their own rules against them, you're not playing the game." [emphasis in original]
But you don't start working for a magazine like National Review so you can spend your time arguing with the dumbest things fellow conservatives say -- you're more interested in warning about an immigration amnesty or editorializing against pending tax legislation or even calling for the drinking age to return to 18. Politicization attracts a hardcore constituency to individuals and publications. Criticizing that faction has an unusually high cost, and so politicization persists, despite the fact that most people observe it, shake their heads in disgust, and turn on American Idol*.

I realise there were quite a lot of Macbooks at the LAC. I even used mine for
presentations but ran Linux on it part of the time. Due to the insane pressure
of organising the LAC while at the same time all lectures and most other tasks
had to continue I reluctantly stuck to OS-X most of the time in the past months
because reboots drove me crazy.
So sorry for that, but I'm going back to 99% Linux now.
Most of our staff and students use a Mac and OS-X, although more and more students
are adopting dual booting into Linux. We'll have to show them the advantages.
I know several students that were at the LAC are in for the change, so the LAC
certainly helped in creating awareness. We'll increasingly be incorporating Linux in the
curriculum from now on.
I quite like Apple's hardware though. So far I had quite a lot of trouble with
PCs for audio, mainly due to the noise produced by the mains adapters, which
seems to work its way right down to even firewire sound cards, which is
unacceptable for serious work. So what will be my next laptop ? Advice on
noiseless laptops is much appreciated.

Courmayeur ski resort
At a height of 1224 meters, Courmayeur is not the highest of Alpine resorts, but it still guarantees snow on most of its 22 runs by covering 80% of them with snow cannons. In total there is around 100km of good skiiable piste to choose from, and the runs break down into 6 beginners, 12 intermediate and 4 advanced slopes. There is of course plenty of off piste area too. The pistes are cut into two areas separated by a large rocky ridge. Carrying to the top are 8 chair lifts, 3 drag lifts and 5 cable cars, as well as the nearby Checrouit gondola, the highest lifts climb to 2763 meters and drop you off for a 20km run (Courmayeur's longest)

I'm in Innsbruck, Austria for TBU and as is true with almost everywhere I travel … I wish you were here. I mean really, I wish everyone I know and love could be here to share the beauty with me.
From the colorful houses on the water, to the quiet and peaceful streets of the old town at night, to the splendor of the art in the Hofbruck to the ethereal light in the cathedrals; this is a postcard-perfect place I'd prefer to share with every person that I care about most. Instead, I share it with a few of those I've come to know and love in the travel world and a few good friends I am getting to know.
I pray you will be be able to experience it soon yourself. Innsbruck really is a beautiful little slice of Austria that must be experienced to be understood. I've been here for three days, I'm here for three more and I am only just understanding now how much there is to love …
If you enjoyed this post, please show the love by sharing it!

You'll never want to take these babies off.
Wear the super-soft Cilla Women's Press Pant when you're lounging or underneath your snowboard and ski pants. Cilla made the Press Pant from an eco-friendly, anti-bacterial new fabric called Chitosante, so your pants stay fresh and odor resistant all day long. The skinny calves slide easily into snowboard or ski boots, so you won't have to worry about your pants bunching up in your boots.
Share your thoughts

Impressed with the Press Pant
These pants are great! They are really comfortable, the material is soft and lightweight. I like the fact that they aren't too long or loose at the bottom because (like the description says) they don't bunch up in my boots. I have other tights for snowboarding but wear these all the time and have found the price to be well worth it. I might have to order another pair...

I was sitting with my kids at one of the "buffet" style restaurants. At the table next to us was a child sitting with a "my eyes were bigger than my stomach" plate full of french fries. He asked his mother if he could go up to get some dessert and she said "Not until you finish all your fries". Now I suppose that it could have been the mother using this as a teaching moment about not wasting food, but unfortunately it was not.
What bothered me most was that this young child was already moderately obese, and from his weight and eating behavior he was clearly following (or being led) in the footsteps of his parents and older siblings.
By the way, food quality aside, it is possible to make good food choices at buffet type restaurants, and it can also be a nice venue to teaching children about trying different things, and making good nutritional choices.
So why did this bother me so much?
Child and adolescent obesity in the United States is a major and growing problem, more than tripling in the past 30 years. Nearly 20% of all children and adolescents in this country are categorized as obese, which is not just "a little heavy". The causes? Bad food, too much food, advertising, poor dietary habits, lack of physical activity, lack of education, stress, environmental factors etc. Unfortunately the most easily influenced among us are now suffering from the immediate consequences of being obese, and unless something changes they will begin to develop the long term complications that follow chronic obesity.
Obese youth are beginning to develop things that up to this point were associated with adults. They are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, have pre-diabetes (or even "adult onset" diabetes), bone and joint problems, and sleep apnea.
Obese children are at higher risk for poor self esteem and other social and psychological problems.
Obese children and adolescents are much more likely to be obese adults with the subsequent higher risk for developing heart disease, strokes, diabetes, arthritis, and an increased risk of developing many types of cancer including breast, colon, cervix, endometrium, prostate and many others.
There are even hormonal concerns. Obesity in both male and female adolescents is associated with increased levels of estrogen and the stress hormone cortisol. Because of the increase in estrogen, males are more likely to experience breast development. In females, periods are more likely to start earlier, and they are at higher risk for endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, PMS, and fibrocystic breasts. Girls who are obese at puberty are at risk for higher levels of testosterone which is associated with development of acne, facial hair, and abnormal periods.
I know that as a father, the fewer of these issues that I have to contend with, the better my life will be.
So how do we correct this? Unfortunately both the cause and the solution boils down to one simple thing–US. It is an uphill battle, but our children can't be expected to make the right decisions on their own. They need our support, they need us to be role models, they need us to counter the unhealthy messages and advertising that they are exposed to, and they need us to set limits and expectations. We need to engage our schools to make sure that healthy choices are offered at lunch and that physical activity is encouraged. We need make sure they stay as physically active as possible. We need to explain to them that this is about more than just "not getting fat".
We can prevent this epidemic from worsening. By doing so we will improve the quality of not only their lives, but ours as well. Think about this—as we age we would like our children and grandchildren sitting at our side, helping to care for us, not sitting with us suffering from the same problems that we have.
Resolution ReviewJanuary 21, 2012
So here we are, a few weeks into the new year, which is a good time to take note of where you are at with regard to your New Year's Resolutions. By now you should be able to see if you have:
—Embraced your resolution, made it a "habit", and are seeing some progress. Maybe you could even make an additional change in your life.
—Let the resolution and your good intentions fall by the wayside. No guilt here, January 1st is only a date on the calendar and you can make changes any day of the year.
—Not made a resolution, but you realize that you really do need to change something for the positive, and should do it before another year goes by.
For all three groups, I do have a suggestion for an easy, inexpensive, life and health changing addition that you can make in your life——Keep a Food Journal.
Simply carry a slip of paper in your pocket, and each time you eat ANYTHING, write down what and how much. No need to look at calories etc–you are only keeping a list. Just be honest. Then at the end of the day, enter everything in a notebook or on your computer.
The life and health changing part of this comes through our conscience and self awareness. Most of us do not realize how much, what, and how often we eat. Faced with the black and white reality of what we are actually consuming in our day, many of us will find it easier to eat differently and make better choices. The difference between eating 2 and 4 cookies does not seem like much, until you know you have to write it down and look at it along with everything else you ate that day. It does work, and can help create a positive change in your life and health with very little effort.
"Be moderate in everything, including moderation." – Horace Porter
Blood Sugar TsunamiNovember 19, 2011
Any way you look at them, the statistics and predictions are impressive.
In 2010 there were an estimated 18.8 million people in the US with diabetes, and another 7 million who have the disease but have not been diagnosed. Among US residents 65 and older, almost 27% have diabetes.
Even more alarming is the prediction recently published in the journal "Population Health Metrics" which estimates that if current trends continue, by 2050 up to 1/3 of the US population will be diabetic. Think about it in this way. Look at the person to your left, and then the one on your right. One of you will be diabetic. With numbers like this, the personal, societal, and financial costs are unimaginable.
Just as distressing is the fact that it does not have to be this way. Type 2 diabetes is largely preventable. The Diabetes Prevention Program, a large study of people at high risk for diabetes found that PREVENTION or delay of diabetes is feasible, cost effective, and can persist for at least 10 years.
So why should you worry about your blood sugar being "a little bit high"?
–Diabetes is the leading cause if kidney failure, non-traumatic lower limb amputations, and new cases of blindness in the US
–Diabetes is a major cause of heart disease and stroke
–Diabetes itself is the seventh leading cause of death in the US, and increases the risk of dying from from many other illnesses.
–It simply decreases long term quality of life.
These are not small issues, and personally if I can prevent them, I am willing to put a little work into it.
So what kind of "work" is required?
Studies show that for every 500 calories burned per week through exercise there is a 6% decrease in relative risk for developing diabetes. The effect is greater for those who were heavier at the start of the study.
Weight Loss
Weight loss can improve insulin sensitivity, improve blood sugar control, and delay or even prevent progression to Type 2 diabetes.
It should be noted that when exercise and weight loss are combined, the benefits increase significantly.
Dietary changes
Reduce or eliminate your intake of sugar. Be a label reader. Check for sugar content in things you consume. You would be surprised how much sugar is added to commercial or processed foods.
Lower your intake of carbohydrates (starches) as these are just sugar in a different form.
Increase your fiber intake. Having more fiber in your diet helps stabilize blood sugars, and increases the feeling of fullness so you eat less.
Eat a good breakfast containing protein and fiber as this will help stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels throughout your day.
Eat meals on a regular basis. Skipping meals (especially breakfast) increases insulin resistance
Balance your hormones
Hormone imbalance can contribute to insulin resistance and weight gain.
Check your numbers
Talk to your health care provider about getting testing to see if you are at risk for developing diabetes. These tests should include fasting blood sugar, insulin, hemoglobin A1C, or a more comprehensive and predictive test such as the PreDx test.
So in essence, this really is a case where "prevention is the best medicine".

Once Upon a Time Season Finale Pics, Preview: Good vs. Evilby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Will Henry survive live to see season two? How far will Regina and Emma go to save their son? Is the end of the long-standing curse?
These are just a few of the questions Once Upon a Time fans are asking themselves following "An Apple Red as Blood," the penultimate episode of the ABC hit's opening season. How will they be answered on the finale?
Look for Emma and Regina to actually team up in order to save Henry's life, while Charming tries to escape from the Evil Queen's grasp so he reunite with Snow White on "A Land Without Magic."
Click through a handful of photos from the season finale now and then watch the official ABC trailer:

I think reason Gold wants curse lifted is that he's been stuck in storybrooke along with everyone else, he's not been able to go look for his son. The whole reason he created the curse in the first place, its also why he's been working to break it.
I think Henry will survive, the curse will break and they'll all stay in storybrooke but start to live and age.
Bae is for sure Henry's father, though Gold doesn't know it and I think S2 will be about adjusting with 2 sets of memories, dealing with Regina and Gold.
I am actually quite curious how they are going to keep this show going.
If the curse breaks, we lose the two worlds thing, which really is part of my interest. I would see magic more seeping through then the entire group heading back to Fairyland. I guess they could go straight fairytale, since it is very well done.
I think Emma will start to believe, because if the course is the same in both worlds a true love kiss will break it, and the pictures shows Emma kissing Henry. I believe that this will make Emma believe, or at least start.
But I also want to know why Henry is so important to Regina...
@Bored Now ok relax mate!i just assumed something!don't execute me! and come on it's once upon a time that you're talking about!don't be so black and white!is a show about magic!it can happen!
and even since his death the writers where teasing all the time about sherif graham!why would thay do that if there was no chance for him to come back? Anyway,i still believe he is not back...not yet!but my Gremma heart still has high hopes!
Anyone else notice that the synopsis says that Jamie Dornan is back as Sheriff Graham/Huntsman!That should mean something since Emile De Ravin is feautured only as belle!
It means nothing. Belle is Belle in both worlds. She does not have assigned "real life counterpart". Huntsman is ONLY in flashbacks. :)
And I agree, I bet Baelfire is Henry's father.
I think Regina will be the one who bites the dust, wouldn't it be a unique twist if she died to save Henry's life? What if sacrifice breaks the curse? After all, if you go way back, that's what Regina had to do to create the curse, she sacrificed her father.
They've really been playing the "Regina would never harm Henry" card a lot, and I think this last episode tripled their efforts to play her as a mother desperate to keep her son's love.
That would be a real cliffhanger to leave viewers with in my opinion.
Of course there are plenty of antagonists ready to take her place (Maleficent, Cora, etc.)
Anyone else notice that the synopsis says that Jamie Dornan is back as Sheriff Graham/Huntsman!That should mean something since Emile De Ravin is feautured only as belle! does that mean that August is the one that will leave us?
Also WHO is the Dr. in fairy tale world!!??!
Oh man! Who called Henry's death/tragety?! Good for you!
I guessed it @ the end, but b4 that I didn't think anything would happen to him...
I love Henry, but I kinda hope he dies. It'll add SOOO much to the story! Also Rumples son is prob his dad!!!
But I don't see the writters killing off Henry :(
