Loved the design of this hotel and the interior decoration. Cosy
breakfast room overlooking a beautiful courtyard. Staff were very
helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble.
I booked and paid for the hotel for a future date. We were unable to
honour the booking due to a stolen passport in Chile and our inability
to fly back to Argentina. I did ask the hotel to refund our full payment
but I have not heard from them.
The hotel is very dark which is a part of their design though. Breakfast is good, but it was supposed to be served at 8am, however we had to wait until 8.30am before the staff arrived.
Fabio at the front desk was very helpful and provided suggestions each day. The room was comfortable and quiet, the air conditioning was good, the morning breakfast was ok.
The hotel computer used for internet access was ancient, the keyboard was in poor repair.

With so many demands on their time, chief executives worry about striking the right balance between setting long-term strategy and responding to short-term problems.
Over the past few years, The Wall Street Journal's Lessons in Leadership video series has asked CEOs of big companies, including Microsoft Corp.'s Steve Ballmer and American Express Co. 's Kenneth Chenault, how they manage their time. Some bosses map out their year on a spreadsheet. Others carve out time just to think about managing their schedule.Here are tips culled from those interviews over the years:
Jeff Weiner, LinkedIn
Jeff Weiner, the CEO of Professional Network LinkedIn tells The Wall Street Journal how he carves out time to think, instead of just reacting to challenges.
"Part of the key to time management is carving out time to think, as opposed to constantly reacting. And during that thinking time, you're not only thinking strategically, thinking proactively, thinking longer-term, but you're literally thinking about what is urgent versus important, and trying to strike that right balance."
Kevin Roberts,
Saatchi & Saatchi
Kevin Roberts, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi, on the secret to work-life harmony: Don't do stuff you don't like.
"The secret to work-life integration is to never back down and not to compromise and don't do stuff that you know you don't like. And that sounds very easy and it sounds like, 'Well you can say that because you're the CEO,' but I've been like that ever since I was seven."
Steve Ballmer, Microsoft
Microsoft's CEO creates a spreadsheet to budget time for the year, allocating time for meetings, travel and exploring new ideas.
"I've got a spreadsheet, it's got a budget—my time for the year … I give the budget allocation to my administrative assistants, they lay it all out and then anybody who asks for time, they say, 'Steve, this is in budget, it's not in budget, how do you want us to handle it?'"
Kenneth Chenault, American Express
AmEx CEO Kenneth Chenault says he allots time for developing talent, managing business priorities and meeting customers.
"You need to spend a good percentage of your time with customers and clients because that keeps you externally focused."

Request a live demoof the Acquia platform
Some years ago I was working for the public sector and had some innovative ideas for using free and open source software in order to make things more agile, stable and cheaper. This involved not only changing the users' desktops but more importantly the online presence, the public services and the deciders' mentality. It was then I came to know software like Typo3, Plone, Mambo/Joomla, Wordpress and ultimately Drupal.
If you're new to Object Oriented Programming (OOP), then coding in Drupal 8 is going to feel plain weird. There's lots of new syntaxes and rules for accomplishing what seemed a lot simpler in Drupal 7. If you jump into learning OOP feeling resentful for all the weird stuff going on, then you might miss a chance at seeing the bigger picture.
We are pleased to introduce our latest release, Drupal Commons 3.5. This major release is focused on two key areas for offering a more comprehensive, integrated community to extend your reach across language barriers and track and optimize your community members and content:
1. Acquia Analytics: Add real time member tracking and analysis to your community to gain deeper insights into what's happening, what's working, what isn't inside your community.
After you've worked hard on defining your requirements and writing your job description, the next thing you want to do is get that posted in as many places as possible where it can be seen by your job seeker. In this series, we're outlining a 5-step strategy for building a great Drupal team. In this step, we'll focus on getting your job posting seen.
Richard Sanchez, president of Miami-based cloud-computing company 0NL9, Inc., is no longer surprised to see IT skills applied in new -- and potentially profitable -- ways.
One of his clients is a company that leases storage containers in over a hundred locations across Canada and Europe. Recently, an IT pro on staff, "who was previously doing things like fighting computer viruses," took the initiative to develop an online calculator that allows prospective customers to price their lease online, based on the size and availability of the container.
One of the main drivers in the founding of Acquia was to support organizations that wanted to use what was then a relatively new technology called Drupal. So it meant a lot as the customer solutions team recently hit the milestone of successfully completing 100,000 support engagements.
This is a particularly rewarding number because it represents the thousands of times we've been able to successfully help Drupal users meet the challenge of managing and scaling their sites.
In our previous blog post, we focused on defining your requirements to help you prepare your job description. To attract the right candidate, you'll also include the qualifications you require and find ways to portray your company culture. In the third post in the series, we're emphasizing ways to widen your net and increase your chances of attracting the best candidates in these 5 steps:
As cloud hosting has become part of the technology landscape, offsite technical expertise also has become the norm. This has changed the game for IT, greatly simplifying the configuration, operation, and support a company's technology infrastructure.
"Acquiring and implementing technology is no longer the secret sauce of IT," admits Tom Catalini, the chief information officer at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
Yet, to Catalini, these are positive developments. "IT pros have a much better opportunity to really engage in the business now," he says.
It's no secret that a global shift is taking place in corporate cultures due to the change in the way brands tell their stories through various digital channels.
In the financial services industry, we are starting to see this shift take place in real time due to the way digital media and social are entrenching themselves into each brand. In order to keep up with this rapid change of innovation, a brand and its story needs to be visible through all platforms.
Imagine this: You walk into a local department store and browse until you find just what you're looking for, but then you discover there's no cash register in the building… you have to walk several blocks to get to the place where you can checkout.
We offer many tools and services to help you succeed with Drupal, learn more and get started for free.

Well to update everyone,
We were able to speak to the heart surgeon this morning so this is pretty much all we have at this point.
She is Diabetic, her blood sugar this morning was 209. They have managed to bring that down a little today once she ate a little bit. They have been giving her some Steroids for her breathing (COPD), and that causes it to go back up, so it's been work against them.
She has COPD obviously. She has an abdominal aortic aneurysm, she has blockage to both legs, and numerous blockages in her heart.
First off, at this point, she is not a candidate for open heart surgery. The heart surgeon says she would not make it off of the table.
They are doing some maintenance work right now, trying to get her breathing better, get her sugar level under control, and they are running tests to determine if the part of her heart that is "not" working is dead or if it is asleep. If it is dead, then the bypass surgery would not do her any good, and would out of the question. If they feel as if doing the bypass would wake up that part of the heart and get it working again, then that would be an option that is up to her if she wants to do it. They would first have to get her in better shape to be able to make it through the surgery.
So for now, it's maintenance work and tests to see "if" there is anything of the heart that can be revitalized.
They have her stabilized and her spirits seem better. She is very aware of everything around her and seems to be doing good. She still has a little problem breathing and her blood pressure at times drops.
That is all we know. Might be Monday before we know anything further. They have to do a pet scan to check the heart, and they may wait till Monday to do that. They are pretty much letting her rest, and get some of her strength back for now so they don't traumatize her system anymore than it has been.
Thank you everyone for all your prayers and well wishes.

Columbia County summer school registration started Monday for high school seniors.
Other high school students can start summer school registration April 30 and continue registering until May 18 at their home schools, according to Board of Education documents.
A final registration day will be held May 25, 8-10 a.m., on a first-come, first-served basis at Lakeside High School, the site for summer school this year.
The Harlem High Drama Club delivers its final performances of the school year Friday and Saturday. The shows also are the final performances of director Roy Lewis' teaching career.
After nearly 30 years as Harlem High's drama director, Lewis intends to retire when the school year concludes next month.
For his final show, Lewis chose the classic Broadway musical Bye Bye Birdie.

Whether it's on land or the water, the inaugural Benderdinker promises to provide a fun-filled day of activities Saturday at Riverside Park.
The event will start at 10 a.m. as residents are invited to jump in a kayak or canoe and paddle out on the Savannah River, said event organizer Kristina Williams.
Participants can paddle their way to three checkpoints set up around Germany Island and near Betty's Branch, where they'll be treated to refreshments and live music.
As summer approaches, Mistletoe State Park officials are showcasing their park to local residents through a special weekend of events Friday and Saturday.
"The kick-off for the weekend will take place Friday evening in the campground with guitar picking around the campfire," said park Program Assistant Brenda Bettross. "Frank Locklear will entertain guests around the campfire with his guitar and music."
Park guests can also enjoy an old-fashioned hayride Friday evening.
This spring, the bloom has been spectacular.
I don't know if the plants are blooming more, or if I am looking for them more often. When I see a plant in bloom, my first thought is whether honey bees feed on that flower. If these plants look great in the garden and smell great, then they could have a place in the garden.
I have a plant in my landscape that someone gave me. It was not the prettiest of shrubs. It was just foliage.
The next spring was a different story. The plant bloomed. It was covered with white flowers that smelled great.
The following accounts were taken from reports from The Columbia County Sheriff's Office. Additional reports are available at www.columbiacountyso.org:
Man found on road median
A man who police found unconscious on a road median Tuesday was released from an area hospital.
A deputy found a 62-year-old man lying in the center median of Jimmie Dyess Parkway at Park West Drive just after midnight. The man supposedly was not breathing and he had abrasions on his right knee and right arm.
Twitter @ValerieRowell
Two Columbia County convenience store clerks were cited for selling alcohol to a minor Thursday.
The Columbia County Sheriff's Office sent an underage deputy into 10 businesses licensed to sell alcohol during regular compliance checks Thursday to ensure stores aren't selling alcohol to minors, according to sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris.
An Evans man told authorities Thursday that he received an early-morning visit from a man claiming to be a police officer.
The Shawns Way resident said a knock at the door woke him about 1 a.m. When he answered, a white male wearing khaki pants and stripped shirt asked for Keith.
After the resident said no one named Keith lived there, the man told him he was a police officer. That's when he said he noticed his visitor had a holstered handgun strapped to his belt.
A Greenbrier High School student went before the school system hearing officer on March 27, 2012, for an accumulation of offenses and was expelled for the remainder of the school year with the option to attend the Columbia County Alternative School.
A Lakeside Middle School special needs pupil went before the school system hearing officer on March 27, 2012, for an accumulation of offenses and was remanded to the Individualized Education Plan Committee for punishment.
Columbia County planning commissioners on Thursday approved bringing a full-service car dealership to a busy street corner in Evans.
A request to rezone 4.5 acres at Washington and Gibbs roads from neighborhood commercial to general commercial was approved 4-0 by the commission. Board member Darryl James was absent.
Land owners proposed putting a showroom, sales facility and a service center on the property, which backs up to two neighborhoods.

Personnel Practices:
Career and Other Appointments of Former Political Appointees, October 1998-April 2001
GAO-02-326: Published: Feb 26, 2002. Publicly Released: Mar 29, 2002.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9490
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Political appointees in the federal government sometimes seek appointments to career positions, which do not end with an administration. Although merit system principles require that selections be determined solely on the basis of merit after fair and open competition, questions have been raised about whether some individuals have received political favoritism or an unfair advantage, even the appearance of which could adversely compromise the integrity of the system. The 45 agencies GAO surveyed reported that 100 employees converted from political appointments and 11 converted from congressional staff positions from October 1998 through April 2001. All the conversions took place at 21 agencies. Ninety-five of the 111 conversions were to positions at the GS-12 level and above. GAO found that the 21 agencies used appropriate appointment authorities, such as civil service certificates from the competitive selection process, and generally followed merit system procedures. In 17 instances, however, the appointments could give the appearance that individuals had received political favoritism or preferences.

WHITESNAKE Guitarist Doug Aldrich
November 15th, 2006
Douglas "Doug" Aldrich�s career as a musician started in the mid eighties when he joined the band Lion in 1985. Although they did succeed quite well they never made it to the big time and the band slowly disbanded after three albums in the late 80's. Doug then worked briefly with such names as Hurricane and House of Lords before he formed Bad Moon Rising together with his former Lion band mate Kal Swan. Bad Moon Rising released three albums in the 90's but they split up in 1998. Burning Rain was formed later on the same year and actually they still exist although there has not been too much news from their camp lately. In early 2002 Doug decided to agree to Ronnie James Dio's offer to join as a fulltime member of Dio and soon he was in the studio recording guitar parts for the upcoming "Killing the Dragon" album. Although the album and following tour were really successful, Doug surprisingly decided to leave Dio and join David Coverdale's new version of Whitesnake in the end of 2002. The Whitesnake reunion has been very successful. The band has done several world tours and last spring they released a new DVD "Live … In the Still of the Night". A new Whitesnake live album "Live… In The Shadow of the Blues" will be released later this year. The new album will also include four brand new studio tracks, the bands first new music in eight years, written by Doug and Coverdale. This interview was done last July. I met Doug during Whitesnake's stop in Finland a day after their sold out concert in Helsinki and here are the results of out lengthy discussion about his current activities, past and future. The story continues….

Rowan Robertson

Rowan Robertson
Interviewed by Crashtest
Rowan Robertson made a big splash on the international metal scene in the early 90s when, at the tender age of seventeen, he assumed the lead guitar duties in the legendary Dio. Rowan's subsequent work on the LOCK UP THE WOLVES album was jaw-dropping and proved to the metal world that he belonged on it's stage. During the tour in support of that album, he again proved himself more than worthy to follow in the footsteps of Vivian Campbell and Craig Goldy. When Ronnie James Dio rejoined Black Sabbath to record DEHUMANIZER, many in the metal community lost track of Rowan's musical pursuits. I had the opportunity to catch up with Rowan recently and talk to him about his new band, the Los Angeles-based band DC4. In addition to Rowan, DC4 features Jeff Duncan (Armored Saint, Odin) on lead vocals and guitars, along with brothers Matt Duncan on bass and Shawn Duncan (Odin, Bird of Prey) on drums.

Relentless commentary, bullshitting, teeth-gnashing, headaches, photographing, documenting of all kinds, etc. by Luxi ?show-no-fucking-mercy? Lahtinen & Niko ?metal-up-yer-fucking-ass? Karppinen
Sauna Open Air Metal -festival was held for the 2nd time in its entire history ? and this year the organizers of the festival had succeeded to book 3 internationally big names for the festival to headline each of the 3 days; Slayer, Megadeth and Dio; not to forget the Swedish Pain either as the fourth international band for the festival. Last year was a real success for the festival organizers already, bringing approx. 6000 metal fans to the venue for one day to enjoy such bands as Lordi, Finntroll, Children of Bodom, Thunderstone, etc. ? and of course the festival?s biggest name Nightwish.
This year nearly 7000 Metal fans gathered together with each of the 3 days being nearly sold-out or completely sold-out. So from an attendance point of view there?s undoubtedly going to be a continuation of this festival for the next year at leas and that?s what all Metal fans hope for, that?s for sure.

Swedenrock Festival June 9-11, 2005 S?lvesborg Sweden
July 27th, 2005
Reviews and Pics by Arto Lehtinen
Once again the Finnish Metal-Rules.Com squad made it's annual visit to the prestigious Swedenrock Festival. The festival is located in the countryside of southern Sweden. Again we witnessed a number of amazing and unforgettable metal and hard rock names on the stage. As expected, all tickets for Swedenrock were sold quicker than expected due especially to the booking of the legendary LA 80's metal outfit Motley Crue. If some wild estimate of sold tickets could be said, it would be apx. 22,000 people that arrived at the festival each day. It is interesting how the organization of the Swedenrock Festival will carry on and expand and develop the festival in the future.

Once Upon a Time Review: The World Comes to Storybrookeby Christine Orlando at . Comments
Belle was terrified; Rumple's heart was broken ;and Cora returned to cause more havoc.
But "In the Name of the Brother" may have found Storybrooke's worst trouble yet in the eyes of a stranger.
Back in the Fairy Tale World… First off, Henry was right. Dr. Frankenstein's Monster is not a fairy tale. I've always considered it more of a horror story. I know some will disagree, but I've never been thrilled that they've incorporated this story into the show.
The one I felt true sorrow for was Dr. Frankenstein's brother. All Gerhardt did was try to help his sibling. For his trouble he was shot, turned into a monster and even when he begged to be put out of his misery his brother turned him down. I couldn't quite be sure if he swore to save him out of love, hope or ego.
In Storybrooke, our favorite characters contemplated murder. Even though Dr. Whale was happy to let them off the hook and say that letting the stranger (aka Greg) succumb to his injuries was not technically murder, it sure sounded close enough to it to make me cringe.
But I loved the conversation about what letting Greg go could bring to Storybrooke. Rumple worried that tour buses looking for magic would suddenly be riding down main street and Leroy worried that they'd be inundated with fearful onlookers causing trouble like in movies E.T. and Splash.
Of course having your surgeon drinking while on shift could have been enough to off the poor guy without even trying.
Greg wasn't the only accident victim. Hook was laid up with broken ribs after getting punted by that car. He tried to sound cocky and in control even while flat on his back but Emma was quick to point out the flaws in his logic in this great Once Upon a Time quote…
Keep smiling buddy. You're chained down. He's on his feet, immortal, has magic, and you hurt his girl. If I were to pick dead guy of the year. I'd pick you. | permalink
So very true. I was surprised Rumple hadn't found a way to get to Hook despite the guarded room but he did have other things on his mind.
Belle was terrified... of her one true love and that broke Rumple's heart. Nothing was sadder than seeing her shatter their beloved tea cup that started it all.
Cora showing her face made for some scenes that made me shiver. First, she was much too humble when she approached Rumple and simpered, "I only know what you taught me." Then watching her snoop through Regina's home and sniff her clothes was just weird.
I really thought that was Henry searching for him mother and had no doubt that Regina would open the door for him. For all she's done, she truly loves her son. Unfortunately, Cora's a quick study. It only took one little hand print ornament to tell her how to get inside Regina's heart.
I was proud of Regina for standing up for the townspeople and realizing that Cora's frame up was air tight. Why wouldn't they believe it?
But Cora was quick to play on Regina's insecurities and fear of Emma stealing Henry away from her forever. I can only hope Regina is smart enough to realize her mother is manipulating her once again.
This episode gave us lots of wonderful small moments…
- Any idea that starts with we just need a body, is almost always a bad one.
- Ruby telling Whale, how Regina underestimated "how much crap we wanted to forget."
- Mary Margaret uttering "Has anyone noticed he's drunk off his ass?"
- Star Wars finding it's way to Storybrooke…in the form of a ringtone.
As Emma takes off with Rumple to find Baelfire, can anyone help Belle regain her memories? Will Cora actually confess about "killing" Archie and how will Henry factor in to her evil plan? And now that the word about magic is out there, will Storybrooke ever be the same?
C. Orlando is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: Once Upon a Time, Reviews
my 2 favorite lines were snow "it was not weird we were cursed." & regina "lets wake up henry, emma and (lol) those 2 idiots". The only thing better would have been when snow said hush up leroy, she said hush up grumpy. I liked the mixing of horror and fairy tales. Rumple in mary shelly was a hoot. Cant wait to c the culture shock of rumple in new york(?). Funny how the moral of the season is do not do good deeds cause they hurt u. Snow saves regina, belle saves hook, now the town saves the driver and each time disaster follows. One thing, if the town has had no contact with the outside world: how did rumple get henry for regina, how did henry leave town, how does the town get supplies, even new comic books. Maybe they mean contact since magic was brought back. Remember August came from outside. One question, will season 2 be twenty or twenty-two episodes?
I agree Belle was over reacting to Rumpie and no one seemed to care about her losing her memory but Rumpie. Cora smelling Regina's clothes was odd. Like Red and Dr. Whale together. Her saying I ate my boyfriend was the best line of the show. I was wondering when someone would notice that Frankinstein is not a fairytale. Love when they do the Frankinstein they do it in black and white like the old movies. Three weeks is a long wait but at least it is not as bad as having to wait until March for Grimm to come back on. Stupid NBC! Rumpie in the real world should be funny. I think he is going to find out Henry is his grandchild.
Thanks, MonkeyC - I was thinking the same as the others who forgot about that. Good assessment. I liked the episode because it a little of everything, while still running a coherent story of its own. All the pieces fit together in a plain way, in order. My favorite line was, "I ate my boyfriend."
The thing most people seem to be overlooking about Belle's huge overreaction was that since she passed the town line, her fairy tale memories all disappeared, leaving only the life and thoughts she had in Storybrooke before everyone realized that they were cursed. Belle was locked up in a HOSPITAL BASEMENT in the LOONY BIN. This type of stuff usually messes with a person's mind. It made her paranoid and scared, and of course wasn't used to being around people, especially someone hovering over her bed as she's sleeping kissing her. I'm pretty sure if you're locked up in a mental institution for years of your life, you wouldn't be used to being told that people love you and are trying to help you. I also thought it was a huge reaction, but then I remembered this, and pushed that thought out of my mind. It makes sense that she reacted that way.
An ok show today. Didn't like it when Belle throw the chipped cup. Hope that she will find her memory comes back.
Last night episode was just ok for me. I was really frustrated with Belle. I understand that she no longer remembers Rumple but I think the acting was so over the top. She acted like he was hideous and thought of him touching her was the worst thing ever. I was so mad when she threw that cup. I love scenes with Red in it, she should have more lines. Loved her talk with Whale. Don't like the fact that we have to wait 3 more weeks to see a new episode.
I thought this was a good episode, despite the fact that Frankenstein, or the New Promethius, by Mary Shelley, was a horror novel, and not a fairy tale, though it had legendary elements to it. It is often considered one of the first horror novels ever written.Still, I think it is interesting that "Dr Whale" took his name from the director of the first Frankenstein movie, James Whale. That said, I really hope that no one brings Bram Stoker's Dracula to StoryBrook, because the way people view Vampires today as some kind of sexy glittering rock stars isn't how Stoker wrote them. I really hope, also, that the guy who hit Hook isn't going to bring in lots of lookee-lous to Storybrook. I also hope that Rumple and Emma find Bae rather quickly, because if they leave the town alone too long, Cora and Regina will wreak havoc!
i like this one. i am so glad that red had an bigger part this season. like to see how this all works out since we now know greg lied
Maybe it's just me but I have grown rather tired of the show as of late. I loved the episode where Emma and Snow came home. It was great. The first new episode, with Archie dying just wants very good to me. I love it when they are in the enchanted forest. Now it is like watching Revenge maybe with better costumes. I like the fairy tales and magic. Bring that back instead of showing this soap opera stuff and maybe I will become interested again. And I agree, they could ditch Dr Whale/Frankenstein any day and it wouldn't be soon enough for me. What's next vampires?
No-memory-Belle reminds me of keeps-a-dead-squirrel-as-her-baby-Claire. Love it!

I've been on the hunt for my signature scent ever since Ami became my perfume mentor, and I think I just found it: Pumpkin Pie Cologne from Demeter Fragrance Library. I know I like fragrances with vanilla undertones — why not toss some cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin puree into the mix? Just in case the idea of smelling like pumpkin pie in public freaks you out, the scent is also available in shower gel form, which is a bit more subtle and perfect for lathering up on Thanksgiving morning. Whip cream-scented lotion optional. [Refinery 29]

Col. Barlow Presents on Military and Education
DAYTON -- Thursday, Colonel Cassie Barlow steps down from Wright Patterson Air Force base so it's no coincidence that Wednesday, she was helping veterans return to civilian life.
Colonel Barlow was joined by state Senator Chris Widener at Wright State University, presenting on the process of veterans transferring back into civilian life
A number of vets find it difficult transitioning from the military to the civilian aspect of life and Colonel Barlow says they are trying to make the process much smoother for the vets with a number of programs
It's in the best interests of the United States to be prepared for the transition and help make sure that the veterans skills are being translated from their military background to what does that mean on the civilian side. What are they qualified for on the civilian side? said Barlow.
Col. Barlow says that as for her own transition to the civilian side, she isn't sure what she will do next when she retires in October. She does plan to stay here locally, though.

Looks WAY more expensive than it actually is. Extraordinarily well made. Adds a great accent to the garen with my solar lighting.
A beautifully crafted piece; heavy but not chunky. The black stone shimmers with silver flecks throughout. I was going to put this out in my yard but it's so nice, it ended up on the fireplace mantle where it won't gather moss.
This statue is wonderfully carved and looks as if it were ancient.. I have her on my garden table where I can see her when I do yoga. I am very pleased with my purchase.
Love this Quan Yin statue! The quality is right up there with the museum stores, and the "attitude" on this statue is perfect: powerful ease. It's heavy, but small enough to sit on an end table. I have it in my living room.
This lovely little statue arrived pretty quickly & was well packed. Not any damage. I like the piece, but am a little disappointed in the features, which are not very clear. I'd have liked to have seen her face more defined. Maybe the white one is more defined. It is a garden piece, but I actually have it displayed on a little shelf outside my apt.
I love my Quan Yin Stone! Arrived in good time and packaged well.
placed the statue by waterfall in pond . looks great in this location .
Unfortunately, the statue arrived with the head broken off...I applied glue and it's OK now...for the garden. I still like it...it was just a postal injury...
This little statue is lovely. I purchased a basalt stone to set her on in the garden for the summer, but have moved her in by the fireplace for the winter. I don't think the material she is made of would weather at all well outside.
When I was looking for decor for my new rock garden has an exposed granite ledge (from last the ice age!), this stone statue was the only one which fit in color, size and craftsmanship. it has already garnered more admiration than any pink pelicans, fake dears, garden gnomes could possibly do. this statue looks authentic!

Description: In this drama, a single woman approaching 40 grows bored of her affair with a married trucker and writes to a singles column. She ends up paired with an outwardly conservative bookstore clerk. During their date, he drinks and soon turns into a rude, crude, drunken slob. She is mortified until he apologizes. She forgives him and they have sex. In the morning they resume their former lives. Perhaps they will meet again. Perhaps not.~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

After buying a brand new PC with good specs, I was rather disappointed by all the "PC" games, and the overstuff PC Gaming Community, a bunch of nerds who consider themselves better then console gamers because of the fact that they appreciate old games. What is undeniable in there claim is that an oldest an xbox gamer will play is Gears of War, nothing older, while PC gamers still play half life and shit. But maybe its because the PC is quite in new releases front, and only gets a handful of games when console gamers are dying with them.
That by no means shows that I am for the "pc is dying" theory, simply put, its not, the PC is doing fine with the most technically advanced graphics and what not in the industry. Look at valve, for example, when someone says PC is dying to them, they just laugh, all theyre stuff is coming out for PC, including extra content that is only avialable for the PC version. Team Fortress 2 is dead on consoles, (at least on the 360), but on the PC, there is loads of players.
There are a bunch of games that are best on PC, and those include: Far Cry 2, TF2, Fallout 3, and a bunch of other games.
The PC is by no means dying.
Oh, and here are the specs
Dual Core E8400 @ 3.16ghz
nVidia 790i MotherBoard
geForce 9600 (2 of em) each @ 512mb
64bit vista...
yeah, thats about it. I'll stick around the PC for a while now I guess

I would rather be in our shoes replacing a pass rusher then a HOF safety any year. Hell if Denver had Dawkins this year no way do we mess up that last play in the post season. Good luck replacing Ed Reed with Sean Considine or some rookie
Yeah, Balt may regret letting Reed go, probably will. But again, who's the passrusher for the Broncos at RDE? RDE is a big deal in the NFL. That's one of the most important positions. A steady guy at RDE is a big deal, and that's what Elvis is. Maybe they can replace him, but they did try to lowball the guy, and will probably have a hard time replacing him with just one man. Probably will take two guys to replace his production. Maybe a good draft pick, and I bet that is what they are counting on.

Just the byod network. Our main system is via a different radius server.
So it looks like the swg1200 can't be used like this then, as its not the full fat UTM device?
@Sheridan here you go http://www.edugeek.net/forums/how-do...tml#post941025 strange its going to a different thread, sorry, but is post number 34 you need. HTH.
Or the link to the doc is here http://www.edugeek.net/attachments/f...od-ruckus.docx
That link still goes haywire but the doc works. Cheers!
Unless I can get dhcp on my 1200 I'm stuck though. If smoothwall won't play ball we might have to look at an alternative.
Strange how your 1200 wont do DHCP surely its the same as the 1000 but just a bigger version? Its a shame it wont do DHCP, have you spoken to any of the smoothwall guys? Maybe they might be able to help?
That's what smoothwall have told me although I suspect its more of a license restriction than hardware capability!
if it is a license restriction how much would it be to have DHCP added to the box? I would say its worth it? Did you get the box from smoothwall or the LA? I take it you do have full admin access to the box? Its just a tick box to enable DHCP in these boxes.
I gather the utm product is firewall and filtering the swg is filtering only. I suspect adding the dhcp from one product to the other may be doable, but I have not heard anything from smoothwall on that.

Is Customer Service Part of Your Culture?
Posted by Diane Clarkson on April 12, 2010
- 442 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Customers may be sympathetic to the challenges that business having been facing in the current economy. But that sympathy doesn't come with amnesty: 70% of US online consumers expect companies to try harder to provide superior online customer service in the current economy. (Source: North American Technographics Customer Experience Online Survey, Q4 2009)
I was chatting recently with eBusiness executives about the importance of having customer service excellence as part of company culture.
Zappos.com is frequently cited as a best example of customer service and company culture – and for good reason. Zappo's #1 Core Value is to "Deliver WOW through service". The company has embedded exceptional customer service into its DNA as a core value and essential part of its brand identity.
This raises the question: "How do you know if customer service is truly part of your culture?"
As a starting point, I recommend asking the following questions:
- Does your corporate mission statement include providing excellence in customer care and service?
- Is providing excellent customer care included in your long-term vision statement?
- Are customer service objectives well articulated within your company?
- Is measuring customer satisfaction embedded in your process for all customer-facing activities
- Do you have ongoing customer satisfaction improvement processes?
- Are employee performance metrics (including promotions, bonus, etc) – including senior positions – aligned with customer satisfaction?
If you answer "No" to any of these questions, you have likely identified an organizational weakness and an opportunity for improvement that will help you meet consumers' high expectations.

I'm glad you brought up Hugo Chavez (who recently had the audacity to bring his country's gold back home) and I really hope he's got a good escape plan!
Thanks for posting. I, too, feel your pain in regards to having to link the same thing over and over again in an attempt to get through to "left leaning" friends.

Healthy Grocery List – The Ideal Grocery List for Weight Loss and Good Health
Healthy eating is tricky, not just because some foods that are less than healthy are appealing, but also because the media and food companies often portray foods as healthy that are anything but.
With labels like "low fat", "1/3 the calories", "organic", and so on, it's easy for a person to create grocery lists for weight loss and fill their shopping carts with foods they believe are doing their diet favors but in all reality, they'd be doing their dieting efforts and health a great favor by all together steering clear of most things that even have an ingredients list.
This healthy grocery list goes way beyond the scope of considering how many calories is in any one given item. We don't want you to fill your grocery carts with low fat, low calorie "health foods", we want you to feed your bodies and your families real, delicious, nourishing food. This grocery shopping guide focuses on foods that are high in nutrients and low in extra additives and fillers that were never meant to be consumed in the first place.
The Ideal Grocery List for Weight Loss and Good Health
Produce & Whole Foods
Fruits – Apples, oranges, bananas, strawberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, cherries, grapes, blueberries, avocado, raspberries, nectarines, peaches, apricots, tomatoes, pineapple, honeydew melon…
Vegetables – Onions, mushrooms, carrots, peppers, zucchini, broccoli, celery, asparagus, beets, cauliflower, spinach, cabbage, squash, cucumbers, romaine lettuce, kale, brussels sprouts, radish…
Beans – black, pinto, kidney, navy, and/or garbonzo. These are easy to toss into the slow cooker or crock pot with a little salt and pepper; buy large bulk bags for the cheapest and lowest sodium options.
Nuts – Almonds, walnuts, cashews, etc
Whole, unprocessed grains
• Quinoa
• Whole wheat pasta
• Steel cut oats
• Couscous
• Brown Rice
• Chicken Breast
• Pork Chops
• Fish & Seafood (salmon, halibut, cod, etc.)
• Low fat milk
• Eggs
• Plain yogurt – This can also be used as sour cream. Pick up some honey to sweeten it if you can't stand the thought of eating plain yogurt.
• Cottage cheese
• Butter – no imitations or zero calorie sprays, you'll just end up hungrier and pumping your body full of chemicals
• Cheese – as little processed as possible; avoid cheese "products", imitation cheeses, or anything that's insanely low calorie as it's probably nutritionally null and void, at best.
For flavoring dishes & cooking
• Spices, buy or grow fresh when possible for best taste – cinnamon, oregano, cilantro, black pepper, garlic cloves, cumin, cayenne pepper, ginger, parsley, red pepper flakes, coriander, pure vanilla extract (not imitation) ...
• Pure Honey – Best organic & unpasterized, great for naturally sweetening things up
• Cooking oils – Sesame oil, vegetable oil, olive oil (do not cook with high heat when using olive oil)...
Other, miscellaneous
• Canned tomatoes
• Nut butters
• Whole wheat flour – try making your own bread and tortillas, if you can't live without "toast", bread sandwiches or traditional burritos and quesadillas.
What to avoid at the grocery store
Any food or food product posing as a health food with a laundry list of ingredients that is loaded with sugars, artificial sugars, preservatives, sodium and more; always read both the nutrition information and the ingredients if you're buying something that comes in a package.
The usual suspects are: meal replacement shakes & meals/health/energy/protein/nutrition bars, veggie burgers, low fat or low calorie meals in the frozen section, cereals, canned soups, bread products, juices, "skinny" versions of things, etc.
Check out these healthful, natural snacks under 100 calories
It's all about moderation; eat well, most of the time.
Healthy eating doesn't have to taste strict or severe. There are a ton of wonderful recipes & meals that you can make out of the ingredients above. It also wont kill you to occasionally treat yourself to a dinner out, a bowl of ice cream, or pancakes slathered in syrup. Just aim to eat well the majority of the time.
Healthy grocery shopping also doesn't have to break the bank, as many sometimes suggest. Shop in season, and shop around, in order to find your healthy favorites at a reasonable price.
you should include protein list for vegetarians. there's a whole world of lacto-vegetarians out there (who dont eat egg, white or red meat, fish etc). beans, lentils, tofu that is a huge list by itself. spices like cumin, coriander, fenugreek seeds, add so much nutritional value to dishes.
Hello! You guys should post something like the food that's in your pantry. Including the healthy brands, and your favorite brands of healthy food.
Nessmarie, Geekoola- Those are great ideas. We are starting a new YouTube channel in the upcoming weeks where we will talk more in depth about health, weight loss, fitness, and nutrition. These things will be covered. Watch for it.
Hey Fitnessblender! I don't know where to start: you've helped me through so much! I could've never lost 34 pounds without you!! I'm into clean eating just like you, and your website is where I come to feel really good about myself. However, I am just wondering what you would eat in a day. Maybe you could make a video explaining what you might eat, how much, and some healthy dinner recipes. I would absolutely love that video! Thanks again for everything... I love you guys!!
what do you guys think about eating baby food?
also what do you think of eating canned and frozen fruits and vegetables?
