John Hoss Jr. was born in 1813. He married Rebecca Manning 7-21-1833 in Clermont, CO, OH. Rebecca died 3-13-1873 in Griggsville, Pike Co., IL. buried in Hinman/Yates cemetery there. John Hoss went to live with his daughter and son in-law Henry and Mary Oliver in Hancock CO. Indiana where they are listed on the 1880 census, he was 67. The Oliver's moved to Ralls CO. MO sometime before 1900 it is assumed John Hoss went with them, John was not on any census after 1880 and the only cemetery I found with the name John Hoss was on the list for Vadalia cemetery. John Hoss Sr. is buried in Indiana. This is all the informtion I have. Thank you for your help. Notify Administrator about this message?

Article: The relationship between relative weight and school attendance among elementary schoolchildren.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To determine the relationship between relative weight and school attendance among elementary schoolchildren. A total of 1069 fourth to sixth graders from nine elementary schools in the inner city of Philadelphia, PA, were part of an ongoing randomized control trial to assess prevention strategies for obesity. The mean rate of students eligible for free/reduced meals was 82.9 +/- 11.5%. Weight was measured in the second semester of the academic year. Absentee data for the entire academic year were recorded by homeroom teachers. Participants were classified into relative weight categories described by the Institute of Medicine: underweight, normal-weight, overweight, and obese. ANOVA showed that overweight children were absent significantly more than normal-weight children (12.2 +/- 11.7 days vs.10.1 +/- 10.5 days) (p < 0.05). Linear regression showed that the obese category remained a significant contributor to the number of days absent even after adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, and gender. These data suggest that in addition to the medical and psychosocial consequences of being overweight, heavier children have greater risk for school absenteeism than their normal-weight peers. As the rate of childhood obesity increases, parallel increases in school absenteeism should be expected.Obesity 09/2007; 15(8):2157-61. · 4.39 Impact Factor

One year after the start of the Civil War, Emerson, a co-founder of The Atlantic, issued a vehement call to free the slaves—predicting that the world would take notice of the statesman with the courage to "break through the cobwebs" of fear and do so. Within a year, President Lincoln would issue the Emancipation Proclamation.

Magazine / October 1863
"Country Life" was the opening lecture of a course given by Mr. Emerson at the Freeman Place Chapel in Boston, in March, 1858. It was followed by "Works and Days" (printed in Society and Solitude), "Powers of the Mind," "Natural Method of Mental Philosophy," "Memory" (the matter of these three mostly now found in Natural History of Intellect), and "Self Possession." "Concord Walks," which will be printed in connection with "Country Life" in the last volume of the Centenary Edition of Mr. Emerson's works, was originally a part of the lecture, as given by him to his neighbors in the village Lyceum.—Edward W.

As the Civil War ground on, and the fate of the young nation hung in the balance, Ralph Waldo Emerson argued vehemently for a federal emancipation of the slaves. "Morality," above all else, he asserted, "is the object of government." He lauded President Lincoln for his principled moves in that direction.

Great hotel, great customer service, great town
Since we departed the Riviera, I've been a little busy driving and so I skipped a blog yesterday. Sunday morning we bade farewell to Marg and Boris as they headed to Italy and we started our slow journey to Paris. It was as if the weather gods of Juan les Pins knew we were leaving and they shed a tear too (more like a tropical downpour). Sandy had …

We managed to get some French TV and the forecast for the next 2 days was for full suns and temps of 16 deg. This meant we should have a good journey through the mountains
We went to bed with hot water bottles and PJ's and hoped that our water pipes didn't ...

On the winding road up to Roubion there has been a rockfall. The fixit guys are there with a small digger to clear the rubble. As I pull up the remaining loose rocks are cascading down the mountain, crashing onto the road and bouncing on down the steep valley side. There must be some workmen up above levering the loose stuff down.
Practically French.
... in at a small side street cafe for our morning cappuccino. This one was like no other we've had here yet- topped with cream and dusted with chocolate, it reminded me of my USA trip last December! Yum. After a short bask in the sun, we continued home to pick up Jono before heading to a small town outside of Grenoble where we would be riding the La Funiculaire- the steepest train track in Europe. When we arrived, we had to wait an hour before our ...

We began walking down La Bastille but being unable to read the signs and directions we decided it would be safer (and so much quicker after our lost moment last time) to catch the cable cars down again. So we did. I think Amy enjoyed it a little more this time. The view was incredible, only a little foggy, as the weather was perfect! We could see the whole city filled with gorgeous old antique buildings with incredible steeples ...

Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 322
Rated 1 out of 5 by Vignesh Service is very bad
I had reserved a king size room. This is the 3rd time I am staying at this property. All 3 times my expectation of the room (a king-size) was not met. I was never accomodated in the main tower (always in the "lodge" area). It is unrealistic to have the same rates for the tower and the lodge.
Additionally, It took 40-50 mins to bring a salad and orange juice.
Service from the front desk is left a little to be desired. I won't be providing my business to this property in the future.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Atpj SPG Gold - what's the point?
I have been an SPG Gold member for 15 years and this is the ONLY hotel that the only "benefit" is 24hours of free internet. At Starwood properties around the world I've received room upgrades, breakfast, at least a "thank you" for making it to Gold. And at this hotel? A big fat NOTHING. Oh, and as an aside, there WERE club level rooms available so it wasn't that. Other than that, it's in pretty decent shape for an older hotel, great view of the lake from the higher floors lakeside.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Linda48 Very disappointing
The first room I was given had carpet so dirty I wouldn't take off my socks! Also, when I walked in the door, the first thing I saw were large scrapes in the paint on the bathroom door. Not a very appealing entryway. The second room wasn't much better but the carpet looked like it had been cleaned in recent memory (I still didn't take off my socks!). Finally, I called twice about a sweater I think I left and still haven't even received a return call (from over two weeks ago).

Rated 2 out of 5 by Chickie0331 Hotel Property needs a facelift
Starting from the run down parking garage to the rooms, and the hallways on the way to the fitness center, things look grungy, run down and overall just dirty. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant when I had to change rooms due to a pet smell that was unacceptable, my new room was comfortable, but not on the club level I paid for. It can be a great facility if given a complete facelift and cleaning of all carpeting/walls.

Rated 3 out of 5 by LAK61 I had to listen to a dog bark much of the night!
Would you expect a "high end" hotel to allow a dog to bark and keep you awake? Well I would NOT!!! I called the front desk to let them know there was a dog in the room next door and they said they'd come up and check on it. Well, if they did, I am not sure what was done about it because at mid-night I was still hearing the dog bark and "jingle" every time it moved.

Rated 3 out of 5 by weddingweekend Nice for a wedding but not the best service to gold members
The room was very nice but a few things were a bit disappointing: 1) I'm a Gold Member and I wasn't offered a gold reward when I checked in (was only given the option of free internet and I didn't have a laptop with me); 2) the drain was very slow in the shower and the toilet ran all night. All understandable but when I told the staff about it at check-out, they seemed uninterested and didn't offer any apologies, which is atypical for Starwood facilities in my experience.

Rated 2 out of 5 by BGJD Surprised the front desk could not provide change
I stayed this week and asked for the front desk to break a $20 bill so that I could leave a tip for your maid and the concierge lounge server. I asked for change at 7:00 AM and was told there was no change due to it being used the prior night. I checked again at 9:00 AM to try to once again get change and there was still none. I was very surprised that no effort was made to fix this in two hours and I was left with no ability to tip your personnel. Very Disappointing

Rated 2 out of 5 by Al05 Bad experience compared to other Sheratons
On check in I was told I was staying in the "lodge". Proceeded down the corridor, down six steps and continue down the corridor. With luggage, computer and suit bag, this "hike" was not what I was planning on. Got lost twice. TV and clock radio not plugged in - called twice for repair, no response. Vending/ice areas have no vending. Lamp shade fell into bathroom sink - broke. Complimentary water not left in room last night. Overall this was a bad experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by EarlM3Rockers Great place to stay/rock for M3!
I attend EVERY M3 festival and my stays here have been the best of any. I stopped staying elsewhere, in part because of the level of attentiveness of staff and willingness to go the extra mile to make us all feel at home. When we're staying up for two days and nights of concerts, comfort and service is important.

The staff at this hotel are a little hit and miss Michelle at the front desk beyond words awesome, room service one lady fabulous the other not so much! I was concerned that I stayed back to back weeks and the first week no problem with my starwood rewards, email of of bill everything was taken care of. The second week I had to call for my bill to be emailed and it reflected no starwood rewards when I did get it but yet when I logged in here the stay was noted??

Rated 2 out of 5 by VeniceRealtor Great location but needs improvement
We love the hotel's location and why we chose this hotel. However, the first room was not clean (trash under the bed and in the corners), did not have a microwave as described and mechanical issues with the bathroom. Staff graciously relocated us but we found many of the features were not very well updated and the ceiling in the lobby was leaking when we had a rain event. Our housekeeping staff was rude and very unfriendly. The gym was nice with great equipment.

Rated 4 out of 5 by susan18 Sandy made the difference
We had a family affair and it was fabulous. I had a bit of trouble getting a room that was comfortable for my 86 year old mom. Sandy and also Shirlyn (SP?) were very helpful. The showers are awkward with the water running all over the floor. Love the friendly staff in the club room. And can't say enough how Sandy at the front desk made all the difference!!! One thing that was a disaster- the fire alarm went off at 1am and we got very little sleep!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 Perfect location for attending nearby events
I was able to book this room the night before an event at Merriweather Post Pavilion, having struck out previously and booking a hotel more than five miles farther away. Due to a last-minute cancellation, I was surprised and delighted that a room became available within a manageable walk from the venue. Aside from a one-legged (dead) cricket in the bathroom, the room was clean and well appointed. I've stayed there before and would stay there again!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Munch Will not be staying there again
Started off bad, I booked a "Pure Room" because I have asthma and need a room without heavy chemicals. I received 4 emails before my stay but not one said "hey the room you booked is not availalble". So had to select another room ...it was clean but poorly maintained, bathroom had a broken sink being held up with a piece of wood, all repairs were cheap and not done very well. Wifi VERY slow and kept dropping us. Will not stay here the time in area.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Tom3 don't bother with this one
I arrived early before check-in time and was told that there were no rooms available but they would put a "rush" on one. Since I had to go back to work, I left my wife there to wait for the room. Two hours and forty minutes later (at 2:40 pm) the room was made available only after I placed a call to the front desk. If they cannot make-up a room in 2:40 minutes???? I travel weekly to this area, this is my first experience and also as aSPG member.

We were in town for our daughters wedding. At check in the employee was very friendly and suggested that we may want to move up to the club floor. We did and was well worth it.The morning breakfast was very good. On our last day, the club floor employee asked about the wedding and congratulated my daughter.
The van driver was extremely nice and took us to and from the rehearsal dinner.
The hotel staff made this a great weekend.

The room I was check into the bathroom was dirty. I was check into a different room that bathroom was dirty as well. Then the pillows had stains on them as well. Also you can here the people in the next room as if they were right next to you. What to the cake for me then the water was turn off. I called the front desk asking why wasn't I told before I check in. The PBX said they put letters under the doors. However I check in at 8am or so.

There was a group with young boys also staying at the hotel that evening. The desk clerk put us on another floor so they wouldn't disturb us. That was very thoughtful of her. The room was all the things that you should expect.....clean and comfortable. After getting home I realized I left my KINDLE in the bed and called Sheraton. It was found and given to my sister that afternoon. I was very grateful the maid service was an honest person.

I called to cancel & they said there was an issue with the computer & receipt print out. Not really an excuse for being late & making me late. They did comp the breakfast which I didn't have to request & I appreciate that. They should have advised they couldn't make the wi delivery time & provided me an option.

He was gracious and helpful and and the buffet was outstanding

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kevin05 Good location and staff
The Columbia property sits on a lake and is within walking distance to restaurants and a public area where there was live music playing. The outdoor pool overlooks the lake and a wooded area. SPG members received complimentary internet. The staff was overall very helpful -- especially a bartender named Pinar.
I was disappointed in some of the Business Center resources. I needed to make a copy and was tersely informed that there is a $0.25 charge per page. That should be included in the Business Center. The printer was low on toner. On another occassion, the front desk faxed a document for me and was pleasant and helpful.
The property is a little 'dated' and was undergoing construction. If you are being charged non-construction rates, then you shouldn't have to contend with that distraction...otherwise, some sort of rate-adjustment should have been made.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NancyG Excellent room at the Lodge section!
This hotel is all about service and comfort. Our room in the Lodge section of the hotel was large and quiet with woods and a lake view. I felt like I was in spa room at a resort. No, the furniture and bath weren't marble and gold, but this room was way more than I expected. The front desk made sure we had the best room available at our rate. Will definitely return if our travels take us this way. Only about 40 minutes from D.C.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Allen90 Overall experience was great
Hotel staff was excellent and very friendly and helpful.
I stayed in room 234 and only complaint or suggestion I have is bathroom sink is very slow in draining water. Maybe some liquid plumber needs to be poured down the drain in bathroom sink.
Also toilet flushed slow.
The location of the hotel is excellent. Very convenient to great dining and shopping.
Surrounding area and lake are beautiful.

Rated 3 out of 5 by DRJJ99 Convenient but needs updating
This is s great business hotel but needs that last piece of updating - the rooms. There needs to be additional plugs on the table between or next to the beds and more than two on the desk. Business people like to work both sitting or lying in bed as well as at the desk.
It appears that some features were updated, the shower head was updated but the rest of the tub wasn't. The rooms are showing their age; rust, paint, etc.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Trixie3 A beautiful hotel and great staff
Thank you to Derrick, the manager on duty last weekend, and his wonderful, friendly staff. My daughter and I had a beautiful king sized bedroom overlooking the lake. It was spacious, clean and had an air purifier which was highly effective. We had a very nice breakfast in the club lounge with excellent service. There was no extra charge for allowing our shih tzu to stay with us. I definitely look forward to staying again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LM47 Nearly perfect experience
The room was large, very comfortable and attractive.
Other than some loud guests and a barking dog at 4AM that barked on and off until 6AM the stay was very enjoyable.
The only thing that was wrong with the room was that the bathroom door fit so tightly that my, small in stature, wife would have been unable to close the door to the point of latching it and certainly could never have reopened it if she did get it closed.

Rated 3 out of 5 by GManPSU Staff not very friendly
I was surprised by the lack of friendliness from the staff at this Sheraton. The check in did not go smooth. The club lounge food was sub par and the attendant did not even acknowledge I was in the lounge. The only reason for the 3 star was the bar tender made up for the lack of the others.
August 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DocMatter People great, but facilities not
First off, the staff was great! But...
The wireless service in my room never reached above 2 bars (fair, at best). It was slow, slow, slow. And they charge you $12.95/day if you're not a Starwood member. Also, the cable kept cutting out on me every 45 minutes or so. Engineering said it was the new TVs and that was about it. And the pool closed at 6 PM... never got a chance to use it since I was in meetings all day.

I thoroughly enjoyed staying for a night in this hotel. It is almost on the main road so easy to excess the hotel. The customer service is excellent. We had arranged a gathering of around 20 people which were really very Happy with the atmosphere and facilities provided by the hotel. I will recommend this hotel to a solo or a couple including families. Cheers

English-only pan-European iTunes store on track for October
"The first signs are positive. Apple Computer Chief Executive Steve Jobs launched versions of the online music service in the U.K, France and Germany at the beginning of the summer. The services have taken off quickly, selling more than 5 million songs in the first ten weeks.. It has left a European-based service that had a head start singing harmony and major music labels are listening to its appeals. [...]
'It's still too early to judge exactly how successful the service is,' says U.K.-based Jupiter Research analyst Mark Mulligan, who believes that after the holiday season will be a better time to appraise the success of the iPod/iTunes duo. But one thing is sure, Mulligan says, 'It has revolutionized the online music market.' [...]
Largely because of this tortured rights landscape, iTunes initially debuted in only three countries. But the rest of the European Union shouldn't have to wait much longer: Apple says its plans for an English-only pan-European store are on track for October."

why US? - world's biggest music market.
why UK? - world's thrid biggest music market (Japan is second, why no japanese music store?)
why Europe? - if UK is third, add the rest of Europe and it's got to be second biggest.
I think Apple are going for the big markets first, the others will take time (it's not about physical location, "lol") I'm sure there's a lot that goes into negotionations and deals with labels in each country, one "transcontinental" market would be great but the labels would never go for that, the US pays a lot less than us in the UK, and thefore the labels would be able to fix the prices like they do in the UK (and elsewhere probably) now.

TORONTO – Shares in Research In Motion jumped more than 17 per cent Thursday, continuing positive momentum after a National Bank Financial analyst said he was increasing his price target for the BlackBerry maker.
Analyst Kris Thompson said he's boosting his target to $15 per share.
"We think there is more money to be made ahead of the 2013 launch of BB10," Thompson said in a research note.
On the Toronto Stock Exchange, RIM shares gained $1.77, or 17.3 per cent, to close at $12, their highest level since earl in May. Almost 12.6 million shares were traded.
Thompson noted that RIM's new management team is maintaining the BlackBerry smartphone subscriber base, managing costs and cash, and seemingly readying a February 2013 BB10 global product release, a month earlier than expected.
"We expect momentum to continue," he said.
Thompson said an earlier launch will be beneficial to RIM.
"The shipments boost reflects about one more month of BB10 product availability, plus a little extra for the positive sentiment building in the industry from our discussions."
RIM's new BlackBerry 10 operating system — which will be unveiled on Jan. 30 along with its new line of smartphones — is widely considered a make or break product launch for the Waterloo-based smartphone maker.
"Let's reiterate our short-term investment thesis. Buy the stock ahead of the BB10 product launch when we expect shipment estimates to increase, especially from U.S. brokers where a break in negativity could lead to short covering and ongoing stock momentum," Thompson said.
Thompson said he has increased his estimate of BlackBerry shipments for fiscal 2014 to 35.5 million from 31.6 million, reflecting 4.5 per cent global market share, up from four per cent.
He said certification of the new BlackBerrys by wireless carriers is the key risk to his prediction and estimate of BlackBerry shipments. Carrier certification of the new devices can take time.
On Wednesday, RIM's shares gained almost five per cent on the TSX even though it was reported that the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board had dropped the BlackBerry maker in favour of Apple's iPhone 5.
Eric Jackson, president of Ironfire Capital LLC, which had bet on RIM shares to fall in the past, said he bought the stock on Wednesday because he expects a surge of upgrades from loyal BlackBerry customers.
"Most are greatly underestimating how many loyal subscribers will upgrade to BB10 in calendar 2013," Jackson said today. "All those pending upgrades are currently not factored into the stock."
Earlier this week, a prominent tech analyst gave RIM's new operating system a small but improved chance of success.
Analyst Peter Misek of New York-based Jeffries & Company said Tuesday that he's still giving the BlackBerry 10 operating system only a 20 per cent to 30 per cent probability of success.

Coco de Mer - Black Parrot Suites
Historical Traveler Reviews Coco de Mer - Black Parrot Suites Anse Bois de Rose
Not luxurious
We went to the Black Parrot for our honeymoon expecting a luxurious, top- of-the-range hotel, especially when we consider how much we paid for it. The reality was that it is just a good hotel, certainly nothing fancy. I had no problems with the cleanliness, but the staff could be unfriendly, to the point of rude on occasions. My biggest problem was with the food. The second night we had to eat at the Coco De Mer as the kitchen was closed in the Black Parrot and it was the same food as we had been given the evening before. The lack of choice was staggering, particularly on the lunch menu. The especially annoying part was the menu was (slightly) better at the Coco De Mer, even though it was cheaper to stay there.
I generally felt that the hotel and its staff just needed to polish things up a bit on the edges, snile at the guests, offer a better menu choice, not close the bar at 10.30. It has the makings of a good hotel, you just get the feeling that they can't be bothered.
Absolutely Terrible for a 4 star hotel
We stayed for 12 days in August. Food was bland and repetitive, the wine terrible and more often than not off. Ants in the dining room and on the tables. Staff helpful but helpless and impotent. Rooms sparsely furnished, poor state of repair in many places. Extremely expensive for what you get, facilities are antiquitated and the small gym equipment positively old and dangerous. I would not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy, it was a complete dissapointment and in our view should be downgraded to a 3 star at best.
Great for weddings
We stayed at the Black Parrot Suites in August 2005 and got married there as well. Our wedding ceremony was perfect - and everything else as well.
The hotel manager organised our wedding very nicely and everything was so pretty, our room was decorated with flowers and I will always remember it as one of the best days in my life.
I'm actually shocked to read that the hotel seems to be rather awful during rain, we only had one day of rain during our stay and our roof didn't leak. The staff usually was very helpful.
It's true that the Black Parrot doesn't offer over the top luxury, but we didn't mind because to us it was a romantic hotel with spacious suites, amazing view and the food was quite good as well. I didn't notice many insects, only the occasional lizard, which we didn't mind.
The hotel has certainly seen better days, but in my opinion it does only add to it's charm that the paint is fading at certain spots - I liked it a lot and we had a fantastic honeymoon.
A complete fraud as a luxury hotel
We stayed at the black parrot Suites in June 2005, it was the worst travel experience of any hotel we have had to date. For eight days it rained causing all but 2 of the 12 suites to have severely leaking roofs. The South African owners/management were indifferent to our plight and we along with many other couples endured dangerous conditions in terms of constantly wet floors throughout the rooms and bar area, including dripping water onto electrical ceiling fans and televisions. Wine was often unpalatable, there was an abundance of insects/ants on your dining table living underneath each place mat which had to be cleared before you could sit. Bar bills were often different although the same drinks were consumed this appeared to depend upon who was serving at the bar. In our opinion this hotel is not a four/five star by any stretch of the imagination, and is clearly not reviewed often enough by British tour operators as it is a complete fraud and not worth anything like the fees charged to stay here. A nightmare experience.
We stayed in the Black Parrott Suites for a week in May 2005 and got married there as well. The staff were fantastic, so helpful and couldn't do enough for us and our wedding. The hotel was small and intimate and added to the honeymoon feeling.
The food and drinks were great, if a little expensive, and were a good mix of international and local cuisine. We were not disappointed and hope to go back one day and celebrate our anniversary there.
Beautiful, quiet, perfect
We stayed here for 8 nights and had a wonderful time. It's very quiet and intimate, only 12 suites and people do keep themselves to themselves. most people seemed to be on honeymoon or getting married.
The restaurant was great - a la carte every night and included a good mix of international and local dishes and varied daily. Service was superb and the staff were very friendly, helpful and kind.
The pool is great and very quite - a lot of people tend to go off during the day to visit other places on Praslin and it's beaches, but everyone was normally back for the complimentary tea and home made biscuits served late afternoon!
I can't tell you how pretty this place is, just stunning and views from our room and infact all rooms were wonderful.
The rooms were very large and were spotless and they were decorated daily with local flowers. Bed was very comfortable.
If you want a quiet, romantic holiday then this is the place. Not for familes or those looking for a sociable holiday.
How good was it here? I cried when we left!
Black parrot
this may be an old review but just found Tripadvisor, stayed at the Black P for 7 nights in April 2003 where I got married, and, what a lovely wedding it was aswell so well done and a great location.
The hotel itself is very small 12 rooms which are lovely with great views, small pool only for the residents of the BP and a very small restaurant and bar, the breakfast was great but evening meals a little repetative and as for the drinks, wow, what a price but you are in the Seychelles
The beach, which is shared with the Coco-d-mer was disappointing with alot of weed so we used the free mini bus to Anse Lazio which was stunning and the snorkelling was out of this world.
Another nice area to visit is in the other direction, forgot the name of the beach but come out of the hotel and turn right and catch the bus to the next beach,about 15mins and boy what a ride, old bus! steep hills! makes it fun! what a beutiful place, great diving at the Octopus school a few little shops but what a beach and again the fish fantastic snork'ling was brilliant
Hope this helps
Couldn't believe it was a 4 star!
Stayed for one week in Sept 2004. Was very disappointed with it, though it wasn't terrible. The staff seemed very unfriendly on average, only two members were polite and helpful, I found some of them to be downright rude!.
The location is beautiful and the laidback atmosphere is awesome but there isn't much to do, no shops as much and the food though lovely was repetitive.
There was a well stocked library, extra slow internet and some watersports available.
Its such a pity because it is a beautiful place and with a bit of vision it could be a well run hotel. I was disappointed that I spent so much money on getting there and felt very let down by this 'island paradise'.
We stayed at Coco de Mer hotel in November 2004. I thought that it is 4 star hotel but I was a bit disappointed.
One day they run out of towels at 1.30 PM and we were told that we would get towels around 3 PM. It is not good if you want to have shower and there are no towels in your room.
The food is very repetitive (and we were there just for a week). I can't imagine if we were staying there longer.
The beach is full of seaweed so snorkling is nearly impossible. The hotel provides a bus 3 times per week to the most beautiful beach on Praslin (they say it is the most beautiful beach in the world) - Anse Lazio. Very nice beach, perfect for snorkling and swimming. There is a restaurant Bonbon Plume - be aware of the prices, very expensive and the food was not that good. Next time we would try the other restaurant (I don't know the name).
There are no shops near the hotel and I think it reflects in the price of the drinks. For 1 litre of fruit juice you pay 60 rupees in the hotel, in the shop it costs around 9 rupees. We took a taxi to a shop and we stock up on drinks (water, juices) which lasted until the end of our holiday.
I spoke to a few people who were disappointed with the Coco de Mer hotel aswell. We would not give it 4 stars. Comparing to other hotels in the Seychelles I would give it 3 stars.
Fantastic hotel
We stayed here for a week as part of our honeymoon and it was perfect.
The staff were incredibly friendly, food was fantastic and the views were great. Very quiet and peaceful a great place to relax

We traveled to another island during our surface interval and made our last dive off Booby Island. We soon came across a giant sting ray sleeping on the bottom. He was approximately five feet in diameter and allowed us to touch ...

About 20 minutes into our one hour journey the rain and wind started and the calm seas turned choppy. After some discussion, we aborted the plan and headed for nearby dive sites. We were thankful and we had two more great dives. On our return trip it started to rain very hard again. We donned our rain jackets and shivered a bit as we sped back to base.

So after my worry that I will not be on the flight to Nairobi I have checked in, looks like I'm good to go, just need to get my head around visas when I land. My heart is racing and I haven't felt this nervous, excited and apprehensive since I first started this adventure. My leg held up to the demands of the trip from Birmingham to the Seychelles with being awake for over 24 hours, it was extremely swollen but the cold beer helped me forget ...

Jamesy Boy, a film with an original soundtrack by alumnus Jermaine Stegall (MM 2003), opens in select theaters nationwide 17 January 2014.

About the Program
The composition program at the University of North Texas is one of the largest and most diverse in the nation, with approximately 70 composition students and seven faculty members representing a variety of compositional aesthetics and approaches. Regular guest composer residencies, visiting new music specialists, and dozens of events each year provide students with a rich educational and artistic experience.
An interdisciplinary center within UNT's Division of Composition Studies, the Center for Experimental Music & Intermedia (CEMI) provides a unique environment for the exploration of time-based arts and is internationally renowned for its long history of innovation, particularly in the realm of electroacoustic music. Students, faculty, guests, and collaborators from a variety of disciplines engage in research, creation, and performance in CEMI's six production studios and the Merrill Ellis Intermedia Theater.
Music Now is the weekly composition departmental meeting, an open forum for the exchange of ideas and information about the creation, performance, and understanding of recent music. These forums, which are typically scheduled Mondays at 11:00-11:50 am, feature presentations by UNT faculty and students as well as visiting composers, scholars, and interpreters of new music.
Nova is the new music ensemble of the University of North Texas. In keeping with its mission to present a diversity of musical, aesthetic, and cultural experiences, Nova's repertoire ranges from 20th century classics to works that incorporate the latest musical innovations. Students in the ensemble have opportunities to work with faculty and guest composers and are occasionally joined by faculty and guest performers. Performances and workshops have included music by composition students as well.
The Spectrum concert series features new solo and chamber works for instruments and voices, often utilizing new technologies and intermedia. These programs are presented throughout the fall and spring semesters, and are listed in the calendar section of this website.
The Composers Forum is a student organization devoted to coordinating performances and bringing new works to public attention. The organization was formed to foster the spirit of collaboration between composers, performers, and artists of all kinds throughout the UNT community.
The Initiative for Advanced Research in Technology and the Arts (iARTA) is an interdisciplinary research cluster represented by faculty from across a wide spectrum of the arts, engineering and sciences. iARTA activities include scholarship, creative research and technical development at the leading edges of emergent media practice; the resulting research areas are represented by diverse forms such as telematic performance, immersive installation, robotic sculpture, mobile networks, and art-science collaboration. The cluster also publishes the MOEBIUS Journal, which explores the intersection of theory and practice in electronic arts.

The Best and Worst Dressed Lists of the 2015 SAG Awards
The SAG Awards red carpet is definitely not my favorite one. Anyhow, it's always fun to see how the fashion changes from the Golden Globes to the next Award Show...celebrities who had a mishap try harder and maybe make it better or they just keep on failing.
In my opinion, this year's red carpet was a little bit boring. I think this was mainly because either Giuliana Rancic or Ryan Seacrest were no where to be seen, what was this about? Giuliana is the queen of the Red Carpet! Maria Menounos wasn't as fun to watch as Giuliana is, she has that spark that makes everyone laugh! I hope tomorrow night we learn on Fashion Police why she wasn't around.
Going back to fashion...what did you think about it? There were a lot of pretty dresses and quite a few mishaps. I think it's safe to say that white was a trend as it was on the Golden Globes two weeks ago. Quite a few celebrities were wearing white gowns: Reese Witherspoon, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Ariel Winter... A lot were wearing red too, and I loooved it!
Here we go once again, with the second best and worst dressed list of the season! I can't wait for the Grammy and the Oscars!

What To Wear On Valentine's Day?
Valentine's day is coming up in a couple of weeks! This is a celebration people either love or hate, you know, like the movie I Hate Valentine's Day...
Me? To be honest, I've always been completely indifferent to this particular day, but this year is the first time I will have a Valentine, which makes it kind of exciting, right?
Anyways, if you love it or if you hate it...we all love a reason to dress up! So here's a few ideas for you to wear, doesn't matter what you're doing! Just remember to have a good day and don't be one of the people that goes all "I hate Valentine's Day, it's a lame excuse for companies to make a lot of money. Ugh we live in such a capitalist world" on Faceboook. Just don't. No one likes a hater. If you don't have a Valentine, try to enjoy all the goodies that your friends will probably give you! Lots of candy around, yum!

How to Build a Wardrobe the Right Way
I find myself repeating the words "I have nothing to wear" more times than I would like to admit. I guess that's just part of being a girl, right? We can have thousands of clothes and we still have nothing to wear. We could change that if we wanted to...and we don't need a lot of money to do so.
When you go shopping, how many times do you find yourself buying things you don't really need? Like maybe you saw this great statement coat that's so in right at that moment and maybe you wore it once but you HAD to get it? Or maybe you just thought it was really, really cute, but you actually don't know what to wear it with...but you kept telling yourself you would find something and never did and it's still hanging in your closet with the price tag on? Yeah, I think we've all gone through it and doing these things is exactly the reason why we keep telling ourselves "I have nothing to wear".
I have the secret on how to never repeat those words again and how to build a wardrobe the right way. Three little words: back to basics. Basics are everything. Seriously, everything. When you go shopping, think about destining 70% of your money for basics and the other 30% for berry trendy pieces.
Now, what are some basics we should all have? Keep reading to find out!

7 Amazing Beauty Products On A Budget
Spending the big bucks on makeup that you use on a daily basis is, in my opinion, completely ridiculous! Expensive makeup is really good quality makeup (it better be!), but because of its power, it might even be bad for your skin. I know it is actually bad for mine...Let's say I buy a $45 dollar foundation from NARS (like this one) and I put it on every single day...it covers every single imperfection wonderfully, but because of that, my pores are going to get clogged and odds are, I'm going to get a ton of pimples. I certainly do not want that. Do you?
My recommendation is to have two makeup kits. One should be made up of drugstore makeup that you use every single day. And the other one should contain quality makeup you've invested quite some money in. I just said that spending a lot of money on makeup is ridiculous, but read again! Spending it on makeup that you use on a daily basis is... If you only use the products you've spent a lot on on special ocassions, they will probably last a very long time and that is definitely not ridiculous!
These are the 7 best beauty products to buy when you're on a budget. You can get all of them at a regular drugstore. These are the beauty products I use myself everyday!
What do you think? Do you think it's better to use expensive makeup on a daily basis? Or to stick with the drugstore dupes? What do you have in your makeup bag?

Golden Globe Awards 2015: best and worst dressed
First major red carpet of the season and I love it! I love how excited I get when I see a gown I love or how disappointed I can be over someone's choice of clothing. I was really excited to see Emma Stone bringing it, because I hated her Chanel look from last year, and she disappointed me. I mean, I love that she broke the rules by wearing pants, but I still think it wasn't the time to do so. Maybe at an event like the Grammy it would've been better.
So I think we can all agree that the major trend of the evening was sequins. Almost everyone was wearing a sparkly dresses, and to be honest, I loved it! White gowns were also very present. What did you think about Kate Hudson's reaaally sexy dress, for instance? Rosamund Pike, Salma Hayek, Emily Blunt and Giuliana Rancic were wearing white too.
And also, let's take a minute to appreciate Matt Bomer, Matthew McConaughey and especially the power couple: Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo, I mean how hot did they look?
Here are my usual best and worst dressed lists! (How exciting!!)
Best dressed
1. Jessica Chastain in Versace
This dress was amazing, don't you think? I normally hate brown, especially on the red carpet, but this doesn't really qualify as brown, does it? It's like black and gold. I loved how it looked with the lights, the gold high lights are absolutely beautiful. The mermaid ish cut, the cleaveage...everything. J'adore.

5 Great Budget Friendly Outfits to Go Back to Class
It's been a great winter break. I've been laying around doing not much of anything, catching up on some reading, watching movies, tv shows... to be honest, just being a couch potato. Although I've been going to the gym almost on a daily basis (yay me!).
I'm the type of person that tries really hard to look good for school the first couple of weeks of the semester, but as it goes on and on, I just get lazy and I wear whatever comes out of my closet at 6 am. Is it just me? This year, though, I've decided to look good and put together every day of the semester and try to work out a system to do so. Maybe choose my clothes the night before? Any suggestions?
Anyways, after almost a month of laying around doing nothing wearing leggings and loose tshirts, we need to get our fashion A game back! So here are a few outfit ideas that are budget friendly to make you look awesome every day of the week!
Sweater from Tommy Hilfiger, Skirt from Wetseal, Shoes from Forever 21, Necklace from Forever 21 Flannel from Abercrombie, PWT from Aéropostale, Jeans from H&M, Converse, Beanie from Forever 21, Bag from Forever 21
Top from Boohoo, Jeans from New Look, Kimono from Boohoo, Hat from Forever 21, Bag from Forever 21, Bangles from Forever 21, Shoes from H&M
What do you think? What do you normally wear for school?

2 Great Outfit Ideas For Football Season
I don't know if any of you are football fans, but it's playoffs season!!! Which means that the Superbowl is less than a month away. For today's post I'm doing two outfits inspired around an NFL jersey from Fanatics.
I've always liked football. When I was little I used to watch it with my uncle and when I was in middle school, 2 of my best friends played in a team and I always went to see their games. Although my uncle was and still is a San Diego Chargers fan, my team has always been the Pittsburgh Steelers.
