I created a level which worked fine and I posted it http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11762035. I was going through to see what others had done and then compared what I did. Mine now doesn't work. I double check and post times so is weird.
I also noticed ferraridriver posted a solution to one of my levels and it doesn't work. His design is http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11761885.
Is there an issue or do i need to do something with shockwave?

Here are some of the pictures of Lee Da Hae attending the Hollywood Warner Bros pictures~
Actress Lee Da Hae attends Hollywood party
Last week, the actress attended a party in LA along with some of Hollywood's hottest stars, according to the party's host VOOZ Co. The party, hosted jointly by VOOZ and Warner Brothers, celebrated the launching of the animated character PUCCA in North America. VOOZ is a character development company which created PUCCA.
According to an official at VOOZ, they explained that they sent a special invitation for Lee Da Hae because of her lively and Asian image that resembled PUCCA. Don't know if this is supposed to be a good thing or not, but for any reasons, since Pucca originated from South Korea, so I guess, it fits her? She looks gorgeously cute though!


text: The Healing of Alzheimer'sBy Herman RiffelOne of the saddest statements made in medical circles is THERE IS NO CURE FOR ALZHEIMER'S. It is made with great insistence, even saying, "Don't get your hopes up!" Yet at great cost research is undertaken to find a cure. Would it not at least be better to say, "We have not yet found a medical cure for Alzheimer's."? The problem is that the medical cure that is sought does not include the spiritual realm. Furthermore it is implied that the restoration of memory will be the cure for the disease. However we remember the elderly who had memory loss, which was then called senility. These people would not remember details, would tell the same story over again and again, but they were harmless. Care needed to be given lest they forget to turn off the stove, or put on a strange wardrobe, or perhaps wander away, but usually they could be kept at home with their families. They had memory loss, but Alzheimer's has another dimension beyond simple forgetfulness or disorientation. This is the story of my own experience with the disease. My wonderful wife, Lillie, had a brother and sister who died with Alzheimer's. About 20 years ago Lillie began to lose memory. However she was still traveling with me around the world and participating in our seminars. About five years ago there was a decided change. Though she is such a sweet person, in fact, that was her primary characteristic, she began to resist eating her food, be adamant about not wanting to put on her clothes, or do almost anything at any time. For example, One day we went for a walk and suddenly she insisted that she was going another way, which was not appropriate at the time. When these periods of resistance would come over Lillie, no persuasion would change her mind. Physical pressure would only increase the resistance. What was I to do? As I spoke with Lillie's doctors, and researched Alzheimer's, I found that during the course of Alzheimer's; this resistance usually turns into rebellion and then violence. This happens to good people, who would never act in such a way in normal life. When the resistance reaches the stage of violence, caretakers can no longer take care of the patient. They are forced to put the patient into an institution for care by others. This is the sad and costly part, usually over one hundred dollars per day, which quickly exhausts the savings of a lifetime. Of even more consequence is the feeling of hopelessness and loss experienced by those who have taken such care of their beloved one. This resistance in Lillie never reached the violent stage, due I believe to the insight about the spiritual dimensions of the resistance that I received and acted upon. The resistance was not a matter of Lillie not feeling like doing the things that I suggested, but rather a stiff refusal that would come and go. In fact, in an earlier period after an expression of such resistance when Lillie had come out of it, I told her what she had done, and she was mortified. Consciously she would not think of doing such a thing. It was then that I took up the battle against the "resistance" aspect of the disease. I recognized that it had a spiritual dimension and the learning began. I will explain this process in the next section, but will say that I learned to overcome the resistance, step by step, until it is entirely gone—vanished!! THE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION OF ALZHEIMER'SWhen we engage in the battle to overcome the resistance that is common to Alzheimer's we enter the spiritual domain. That domain has both the dark and the light side. In this case the dark side is attacking the person with the disease and someone must engage the side of light to overcome the dark. The spiritual realm has strict rules, as does also the dark realm. In order to enter the spiritual realm one must be in tune with Jesus, who overcame the dark domain on the cross. The helper must be open to let the Spirit of God lead and direct him and follow the pattern set in the Scriptures. This pattern is one of asking God for the next steps, for things that can be believed and acted upon. It also requires listening with the spirit, and a willingness to respond to God's leading. As I prayed the Lord gave me discernment that the resistance was not physical or emotional, it was spiritual. The enemy was attacking my wife Lillie in a spiritual battle. I had to exercise discernment, which is a gift of the Spirit for all believers to discern the light from the darkness, and it can be exercised in faith. I discerned that this "resistance" spirit was a demonic attack against my wife. Then the Lord said to enlarge my prayer, for He wanted to give healing not only for her but also for many others who are suffering from this disease. Whenever the resistance would express itself, I would take the authority that Jesus gave to his disciples, the "authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases" (Luke 9:1). When I took that authority I would pray and believe God for His power to break the power of the enemy. I would not reason, argue or force Lillie in any way, but simply stand in faith. Sometimes the resistance would be broken in a few minutes; sometimes it would take an hour. On one occasion she insisted in going to bed with her clothes on, but I would not allow that and laid down on the bed myself. On that occasion she even pleaded with me, asking why I was doing that to her. But I recognized, by discernment, that it was not Lillie speaking, but the voice of the enemy. It took four hours until finally the resistance broke, and she, like always on those occasions, broke out in a big smile, thanked me for praying for her and cooperated fully with me. That was clear proof that it was a demonic attack and could be recognized by discernment and overcome by taking authority in the name of Jesus. The psychiatrist saw that I had learned how to overcome the resistance, and that my method was valid, though in the medical and psychological field it had not been done. I found however, that the attacks reoccurred almost daily and I had to discern and exercise authority over them repeatedly. I did not understand why the enemy could not be cast out permanently. However it did finally happen, for suddenly all the resistance was gone completely. It was wonderful, but I did not understand why it happened. Then I read something in Francis Frangipane's book,referring to the powers of this dark world noted in Ephesians 6:12, that Powers are not 'cast out', they are displaced in the spirit-realm by the fullness of the reign of Christ in the church and through the intercessory warfare of the saints in the region" (See "The Three Battlegrounds" in the Glossary under Powers.) That was the answer. I had been almost alone in my battle formerly, but when I came to Frederick, Maryland a group of saints did spiritual warfare in behalf of Lillie and that broke the power completely, by displacing the power of resistance through the reign of Christ within the region. The change is drastic. Lillie is in an Alzheimer's facility now because she broke her hip and I can no longer care for her in our home. Fortunately, she is just across the street from our condominium, so we spend time together daily. Though Lillie's memory is still short she recognizes me and greets me with a big smile when I come to visit her daily. We have a wonderful time together. I tell her a story from the Bible, which prepares her for the next big step that God is leading us into. We pray believingly, sing, and talk and laugh. It is like a honeymoon—quite in contrast to the latter days for most Alzheimer patients, and I believe there is more healing yet to come. |

This product has been discontinued
I tryed this foundation it is def a full coverage makeup, and makes your skin look like a china doll, however every color I have tryed made my skin look pasty and pale, every time I wear it people ask me am I sick........ The formula is really thick, yet for some reason it drys out my skin.
I purchased the L'oreal "True Match Foundation" and was very impressed. It went on smoothly and had a blend-able consistency. My skin is pale and foundations often look orange, but this product was true to the name "True Match". It has good coverage, but isn't oily or heavy. Also, it didn't make me break out. I'm already on my second bottle, and plan to continue to purchase it in the future. It's only about $8, but gives you $40 coverage. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for the perfect foundation at the perfect price.
I personally recommend this foundation to younger people. I love the coverage and it lasts about 4-5 hours .
More reviews by nlovewitmakeup
I cannot say enough about loreal foundations i think there all good and i think they are good for aging skin, unfortunately mine isnt what it was ten years ago but with the right moisturizer and this foundation, nobody guesses i have a 20 year old daughter, the only complaint i would give it would be the colors, some are just too light, but i have learned a trick adding a little bronzer with it and i get the prettiest glow, try it you will like it
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This gives great coverage and feels light and airy on the skin. very moisturizing and my skin seems to love it. Very little I have to do afterwards. Just a light dusting of powder to set, very little bronzer and blush and my face is done. Even though I have moved on to Chanel foundations I will still use this up. I would rebuy if the Chanel foundations start to disappoint.
More reviews by barbedwirekisses
Great texture. Goes on smoothly and as lightly as you want it. Build-able for more coverage. Brightens without looking too light. Skin looks soft, not cakey, like real skin, only smoother.
Perfect, except it doesn't do anything to control oil.
I've already gone through 2 jars and am going to buy a 3rd, but I'm not seeing it stocked anywhere in b&m stores, only online.

Good product. Nude beige fits my NC25 skin. Medium coverage. Creamy and smooth. Not cakey at all. Hydrating and gives a radiant finish (not matte)
The only down side: does not stay long and gets greasy after 3-4 hours. Not for oily skin girls
Thanks to makeup alley, after much trial and error, have found my HG foundation. It was a very long journey to get here. The texture, coverage and hydration for this foundation is amazing for me. I have Rosacea and some age spots and this stuff just fixes it all.
I would be mortified if they ever discontinue this product!

Gosh, I really like this product so far. I have been on a quest for a new HQ foundation now that I have turned (gasp) 45 and have all sorts of issues with my skin besides aging, including melasma, acne and shininess. I need coverage without cakiness that looks natural. I have been using Merle Norman Luxivia in Soft Bisque, but frankly, it can look to caked on by the time I got the coverage I needed for the melasma. I did like it for the shininess coverage, and the color was great, but it was lacking 'luminescense'. So I was reading an article on the top 5 foundations for older skin, and this one was on the list. I chose the Natural Beige color and applied it with the brush applicator over primed skin, generously heaping it where I need it. I then set it with CoverBlend Anti-Aging Finishing Powder. It looks fabulous! My skin actually looks younger. Instead of looking like older skin with lots of makeup on, my skin looks younger with a moderate amount of makeup on. I know that sounds weird, but it's a good thing! My melasma is decently covered, and nothing looks cakey at all. I guess the light reflecting properties of this plus the moisturizers really do work. I will update as it wears throughout the day, but so far I am very pleased!
I'm updating this to a 5 star!! I've been using it for almost a week now, and I absolutely love it. My skin looks fabulous and a male neighbor guessed I was 10 years younger than I actually am. It stays put on my face and doesn't transfer. The only thing that happens is a slight sheen in my T Zone that I need to blot a couple of times a day, but that is a small price to pay for such a fabulous product at such a great price. I'd chuck my Chanel foundations right in the trash if I hadn't spent so much money on them.
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Sometimes I have these moments of incredible stupidity. I have kept all liquid and creme foundations away from my face for 5 years now. As a disclaimer, I am not one of those freaky people who use mineral makeup for it's all natural-ness, even though that is a plus, even though I don't entirely buy it. The reason why I don't use liquids or cremes is because they all have looked atrocious on my very dry, but not really sensitive skin. So, like I said, I, like another reviewer on here, had my moment of stupidity, and had to make sure there wasn't anything I was missing in cremes. This one sounded so perfect for me. Even though I am kinda young, I spend a lot of time in the sun and I like to use anti-aging products for preventative purposes. My skin is also very dry, like I said before, so I thought this really may be for me. WRONG! I don't know why but this went on so streaky and strange and wouldn't cover anything no matter how I applied it (with a brush and with my finger and a combination of the two). Granted, I did choose a shade that was WAY too light. Suddenly, all the horrific memories of liquid makeup came rushing back. I'm not sure whether to just return it or keep trying to find a good shade. I'm leaning towards just cutting my losses, though.

Death Room
this wiki
The Death Room is the mysterious room in Shibusen where Shinigami often resides.
The Death Room is located inside the Shibusen, and serves as the Shinigami's room of the school.
The entrance to the Death Room is located at the end of one of the passageways in Shibusen, indicated by a large door marked with a skull and the plate, 'Death Room.' However, although from the outside, the door is firmly placed on a wall, when one walks inside the Death Room, when looking at the door from inside the Death Room, the door seems to be standing on its own with no wall behind it, implying that it might be some sort of different dimension.
Once going through the door, one has to walk through a tunnel of Torii gates, which are styled to look like guillotines. After that, they reach the main part of the room.
A strange-looking room, the Death Room is dome-shaped and domed ceiling with a bright blue sky filled with white clouds, in contrast to what one would expect from a dwelling of a typical Shinigami. The clouds actually float around as if the ceiling is an actual sky, sometimes with the clouds drifting along the ground. In the anime, the sky actually ends up being the only bright piece of scenery left as the Insanity Wavelength causes the true sky to turn a dark red. The main part of the room is a large round platform with some stairs leading up to it. In the center of the platform is a large mirror with a brass frame with a Shinigami mask on top, where Shinigami usually dwells. At the top of the dome, small windows show the scenery outside (only shown in the anime).
Around the platform is a vast desert-like expanse, which looks like it stretches on for eternity. The entire ground around the platform is filled with strange cross-like foundations rising from the ground. In the anime, it is shown that each cross marks a place where a Kishin Egg is buried, meaning that the Death Room is a place for storing souls as well as Shinigami's dwelling.
In the manga, the appearance of the Death Room keeps changing, from a strange room with candles and crosses floating in the air, and a single platform in the middle of nowhere. Recently though, it adopts the same appearance it has in the anime.
Contacting Shinigami
" | 42-42-564, whenever you want to knock on Death's door. | " |
—Maka, Episode 1 |
Shinigami can use the mirror in the Death Room to monitor the progress of Shibusen's students. The mirror can also be used to function as a sort of video conferencing device between Shinigami and one or more person. Shinigami is also known to dwell 'inside' the mirror at times.
Shinigami can contact people freely, but others must contact Shinigami through a special method. That is, to find a mirror or any reflective surface such as a window, and trace the numbers '42-42-564' onto it. The mirror will start to ring like a phone, and the Shinigami picks up and he and the caller can see each other via the mirror. '42-42-564' is pronounced shini-shini-goroshi (しにしにごろし) in Japanese, which literally means death-death-murder (死に死に殺し). People seeing Shinigami in the Death Room can also call Shinigami directly by writing the number on his mirror.There seems to be other ways of contacting Shinigami, although these methods are never delved into. Tsubaki once conjures up a meeting with Shinigami by using a smoke bomb marked with a skull, and Death the Kid uses his Shinigami powers to create a Shinigami mask-shaped magic circle on the ground, causing a holographic image to come up.
Part in the Story
Shinigami often calls students into the Death Room for one-to-one talks as well as holding private meetings with Death Scythes and staff, and at one point, Medusa. After Asura's revival, Spirit is often in the Death Room with him.
In the anime, Asura and Shinigami have their last battle in the Death Room, watched by Yumi Azusa, Excalibur, Death the Kid, Liz and Patti.
- It is possible that Shinigami has the ability to change the size of the Death Room as he sees fit.
- As revealed by Shinigami, the room is revealed to also be a dimension that lets one know the state of order in the world.

Rated 3 out of 5 by jfg2003 Not a great stay
I am almost lifetime platinum with Starwood, and I was underwhelmed by this property. It is older and tatty which is fine but not for the price that I paid. I had a room booked at a much higher end non-Starwood property and decided to stay here instead which I regret.
• More of a vacation property; not a great business hotel. DJ at the property's club played late into the night two evenings making sleep difficult.
• Invoice incorrect upon checkout; still waiting for a corrected version days later.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kbee505 Exemplary Staff make this stay enjoyable.
I was delighted with our arrival at Le Royal Meridien. Staff quickly helped with our luggage and directed us to reception. They were efficient and provided us with a room upgrade, a cool towel and a fresh mango juice!
We were shown to our room and the features highlighted along with breakfast times etc.
The room was very spacious and looked out over the pools and beach.
Air-conditioning was wonderful in the 38 degree heat.
All staff that we encountered were happy, polite and receptive to helping.
Pool temperature was perfect and swimming at the beach was very special.
We would love to return.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Liam80 Holiday of a lifetime.
Myself, my wife and my 18 month old son stayed for a week in the newly refurbished tower club room. This was our 3rd visit to the hotel, and each time the hotel keeps improving. I must say the refurbishment in the club room was outstanding.
This was our first family holiday with our son Tyler jay and the staff at le royal meridien made our stay an unforgettable and special first holiday as a family. As we arrived in our room, there was a cuddly toy for our son and tokens for the penguin club. The children's pool, the penguin club, the park, mini golf and football field are all amazing facilities to keep children occupied.
We would like to thank the staff at the tower breakfast and afternoon tea for making our son feel special with his own baby cutlery and for doing all they can to cater for his special dietary needs. Shalou and Christian always made a big fuss of him.
Le royal meridien will always hold a special place in our hearts as this is the place where me and my wife got married back in may 2011. Our wedding day and our stay at the hotel was perfect in every way and every detail was taken care of by brilliant staff. Mark the manager and Pam the general manager always looked after us and our family and friends, and words can't describe how appreciative we are to them.
We will keep coming back to this hotel, as mentioned earlier with each visit there is always something new and exciting to make our holiday unforgettable. We highly recommend this holiday to anyone as we believe it caters for everything that you could possibly need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FrankF One of the best hotels in the world, incredible service & facilities"
This has always been one of my favourite hotels in the world. The service is outstanding, even better than before.
Our butler, Roy was an absolute pleasure and nothing was too much trouble.
The club facilities are fantastic, outstanding food at the high tea in the afternoons and a wonderful selection at the evening drinks and food.
Three pools, 8 restaurants and the best spa make the experience incredible. You must try the 5 pools at the spa going from hot to freezing.
The staff really make this hotel one of the best in terms of service and you have to sty here if you visit Dubai.
The location is excellent, right at the beginning of the walk which is filled with great shopping and restuarants.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Gkdubai has Gone slightly downhill
Found the club room good but the shower temperature was impossible to control with the taps - One second very hot and then cold.
Attended the Rhodes restaurant and was asked how i wanted my fish cooked ???. i answered properly which seemed to confuse. It then turned up raw and cold.
Attended the brassiere and apart from being shown to a table was not extended any other courtesy as to buffet layout, chiefs cooking outdoors, type of food etc. Just left to work it all out for yourself. Not that difficult but supposed to be 5 star hotel.
Generally felt standards have slipped in this hotel from our seats before and would think very hard before booking here again. Many other great choices in Dubai

This was our 4th visit since May 2013, and our 3rd visit in 2014 - say no more! Great hotel with very professional and courteous staff - always very polite and helpful. Food and beverages equally of the top order. Would recommend this hotel every day. Faultless. Will be back early next year.

We have visited Dubai many times,the staff here are the outstanding feature, the pools +grounds close second.The rooms are a good standard not as classy or large as the Westin but no real problem,our main complaint was the late night noise on the Thursday +Fridays music till 2 +3 oclock in the morning,the noise was from neighbouring hotels,our complaint was politely dealt with but the Friday night music lasted till well past 4 oclock, we were up at 6 oclock to reach the airport, so our night was a disaster 2 telephone complaints did not resolve or help.I understand our hotel was not to blame for the disturbance but we were their guests,a jug of orange juice hardly makes up for 2 nights of bedlam

Huge choice at breakfast eat as much as you want. lovely tea lounge if you like a nice cuppa. seafood restaurant excellent .
Great pool bar. large gardens great beach. excellent live band every evening. For kids there was the penguine club and also a teenagers club. The jewel in the Crown at this hotel has got to be the staff, they were so helpful, happy and willing to help. We will return.

This is my second visit to Royal Meridien and I can't wait to go again. The food is excellent, the staff are very helpful. It is situated in a good spot not far from all local attractions. We spent our days relaxing by the pools and enjoyed lunch everyday at the hotel bars, no need to leave the hotel as all the eating facilities are excellent. I would definitely recommend this hotel to all age groups.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GaryGS Return trip doesn't disappoint
My family and I have just returned from a fantastic 5 night stay at Le Royal Meridien, which was our second visit this year. We arrived early morning and was checked in straight away, along with an upgrade to suite which was a fantastic surprise.
The room was a decent size and everything in the room and the hotel was explained fully by the member of staff who showed us to our room.
We weren't celebrating anything, but was pleasantly surprised to receive a belated birthday cake for my daughter which was sent to our room, and also lovely flowers which was a nice touch.
The staff were always friendly and nothing was ever too much for them and they went out of their way to accommodate any requests that we had.
The lower pool was clean and there was always enough loungers. A member of staff recognised us from our previous visit which was nice. The staff go around handing out ice buckets,cold towels and cold water sprays which is a bonus.
The beach was partially closed due to ongoing beach erosion works, but this wasn't a major problem for us.
As we were half board we used our daily allowance and ate in all the a la carte restaurants, except the new one which wasn't open.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone that wants a bit of luxury and brilliant service.
Thank you Le Royal Meridien for a great holiday .
We will be returning!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Winnie796 Fantastic Hotel
From the minute we checked in to the moment we left we were so well looked after. Despite it being the hottest time of the year, this hotel makes sure its guests don't feel the heat too much. Even out by the pool they bring around ice buckets for your water to stay cool and the cold towels are a stroke of genius. I loved the big rooms, very comfortable and luxurious. The noise protection was brilliant, I couldn't hear any disturbances when I was in my room.
The food was superb and the service second to none. As a family we felt very looked after.
The club lounge was very good too.
My only criticism is the internet was too slow. Other than that, this hotel was perfection.
SPG recognition was one of the best I have experienced.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ronatron Great experience
Stayed in Le Royal Meridien for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Fantastic pool facilities and wonderful access to the beach. After walking the beach I would say that Le Royal Meridien has the best beach access bar none. Most other hotels have significant building work going on around them whereas Le Royal Meridien does not, they are refurbishing one of the sections of the hotel but this was in no way an inconvenience for us.
The view of the Palm and the Atlantis Hotel from our balcony was another nice feature.Food was very good but a little on the expensive side.
Staff were very friendly and always available to assist. I would highly recommend the hotel and look forward to some day visiting it again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MsBLLucas Luxurious Comfort and Quality
From the moment I was picked up from the airport and transported to Le Royal Meridien, I felt smothered in luxury. The reception staff was very helpful and extremely professional. My initial room has a smell of cigarette smoke in the air, but I was swiftly relocated to another room and able to settle in quickly.
Every area of the room was set up for my comfort and I throughly enjoyed everything. The mattress and bedding provided me a superior nights rest.
The SPA treatment I received was exceptional!!
I enjoyed myself so much on my initial visit to Le Royal Meridien, I am planning my return trip with my family.
This hotel experience was wonderful and I highly recommend this resort and spa to all visiting Dubai.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SonyaP Welcome, people and facilities excellent
We have just returned from our holiday and had a perfect time. Right from arrival at Airport when we picked up by our transfer to hotel - the holiday was 5*. Although late arrival at hotel our welcome was warm and check in was seamless. Our room was very good with impressive views from all rooms - particularly the bathroom. All staff were exceptional but special mention has to go to Rijo in Club Lounge. Pool and garden areas were brilliantly maintained and all added to a perfectly relaxing 5* holiday. Added bonus was that hotel is located right on The Walk. We will be back.

What can we say, our second visit in four months and the hotel continues to exceed our expectations. From Zee who managed our booking expertly, to the pool guys, the restaurant teams and a big thanks to Ahmit who rectified a small issue in our room when we arrived quickly and never lost his smile. If you are looking for rest, relaxation and pampering then this is perfect for you. We are looking forward to returning next year.

I coundn't have asked for more. On an excellent beach, absolute comfort in everyway possible. You have to be there to experience the hospitality of all the staff - words cannot explain it. Hotel is 5 star in every way possible in terms of its facilities, food, cleanliness, comfort, pool and beach facilities and service etc. Rooms are plush and 5 star although could do with a little upgrading - nothing to spoil the overall experience though. We stayed in a tower room and it exceeded our needs. Even the gym is excellent. Loads of new equipment there. Can't wait to return.

Rated 5 out of 5 by darch1 Much better than I expected
I spend 3 nights at Le Royal Meridien with my wife as part of a discovery trip of Dubai. I booked a deluxe sea view room. Upon check-in, as a SPG platinum member, I was upgraded to a sea view suite with balcony and club lounge access! The whole staff was exceptionnally kind and responsive. The suite was huge as well as the club lounge. I've never seen such a variety of food offerings for breakfast and evening hors-d'oevres. I was amazed that they offered complimentary wine and the Australian Chardonnay was just great. The whole property is very large and well maintained, with 3 pools and a private beach. Although it was hot last week, we received 6 (!) half litres of water each day in the room! It was a memorable stay...

We upgraded to the Club Tower on arrival for half price and we got more value than we could have imagined. The breakfasts in the Club Lounge, Afternoon Tea and Pre-dinner drinks were all excellent. The facilities are amazing for a city where real estate is so valuable. Lots of open spaces and beautiful gardens with large lawns. Everything was kept perfectly. All staff, even those we didn't see on a regular basis were so helpful and polite, nothing was too much bother. We thoroughly enjoyed our 12 night stay and highly recommend the hotel for the discerning traveller.

We stayed at LRM between 27th October and 1st November and had a fabulous time. The hotel staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We stayed in a Club room which was very clean and spacious, with a pleasant sea view. The swimming pool area and grounds are beautifully maintained and there are plenty of places to sit and sunbathe, whether it be by one of the three pools, or on the grassed areas. The hotel is in a very good location and within walking distance to local shops and restaurants. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will be returning!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Ashutosh This hotel can improve a lot
The room I stayed in ( room 953) had two problems : the sink in the bath was draining very slowly . It took an overnight to drain one sinkful of water and the second issue was the bath tub that did not drain at all . I had a shower in ankle deep water . When I reported this issue the following morning , the person at the desk heard my complaint politely enough but his response was very strange, almost funny . He said, " I will get house keeping to look into this , but Sir, do you confirm that the lighting in the room AND air conditioning worked, alright, did it ? "

Rated 5 out of 5 by Andrea This hotel has amazing service, restaurants and views
First visit to Dubai and staying at this hotel was the highlight of the trip. The service is amazing, the views, if you have a terrace, are spectacular, specially at night when all the building are lit up. Really enjoyed the three swimming pools and strolling through their private beach when the sun sets... There are various restaurantes in the resort, all very different. the Maya offers delicious mexican food (unforgettable) and Rhodes is ideal for a romantic date with your partner...
Our experience at this hotel is unforgettable, the best and we will come back!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Honey31 Comfortable Hotel for families and couples
My stay in this hotel was comfortable and good. The beds are great. I slept better than in my own bed at home :). What i didn't like was that i had to pay the breakfast on the first day when i arrived. I arrived arround 8.00-8.30 in the hotel and i was hungry and i had to pay even if I booked five days INCL Breakfast. That was disapointing and not really good services. I would also recommdnd this hotel to families and couples. Not a lot of singles or business people. Food is middle. Not bad but not amazing. In the hotel description it says that the hotel has an own private beach. Not true. You have arround 300m walk to go over the hot sand to the sea. sea ist clean but lot if tourists. Lot of russian and english tourists.

Having been a SPG member for many years, we have stayed in some wonderful Starwood Hotels and Resorts. This was our first visit to the LeMeridian in Dubai, it was perfect for its beach location and proximity to the new JBR walk and the Marina.
The staff were excellent ensuring our brief stay was a memorable experience. The food was varied and of excellent quality.This is the best Starwood hotel we have visited, indeed probably the best hotel we have visited across all chains. I would highly recommend a stay if you want to chill out as we did for a week.

As from the moment of our arrival for a 4 day break we were received like royals till we departed. A magnificent hotel in every meaning of the word. Not only more than friendly staff that treated us like "royal" family, but also the nicely decorated and palace-like interior, the exquisite food, the welcome at the Royal Club (Tower), splendid room with a very nice pool, garden and sea view. Highly recommendable also the nice and quite location at the end of the beach before the Palm, although just a few steps away to the famous Walk on JBR and beach promenade.

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Find out how we produce our information|
It's not unusual to feel a bit isolated| after treatment, as you have less contact with the doctors and nurses who cared for you. But you'll still be able to see your specialist doctor or nurse if you have any problems.
Your check-ups (sometimes called follow-up care) will depend on the type of cancer| and treatment| you had. Your specialist will explain what's involved.
Care after treatment will vary from person to person. How often you might be seen by a specialist doctor or nurse after treatment is based on your individual situation.
Some people will be seen around 6-8 weeks after their treatment has ended and will continue to be seen regularly. To start with you'll usually be seen every few months, but this will eventually lessen to once a year. At each appointment, your doctor will examine you and ask questions about your health and how you've been feeling. You may also have blood tests, or occasionally scans.
Not everyone is seen as regularly as this. Instead, you may be advised to get in touch with your GP, specialist doctor or nurse if you develop any new problems. Or you may have telephone appointments from time to time. In this situation, you'll be given advice on which symptoms or side effects to look out for. It may be useful to check with your specialist team to find out who to get in touch with if you notice problems, and to make sure that you have their phone number.
Any tests you need will depend on the type of cancer you have and your individual situation. When treatment ends most people don't have tests or scans straight away, because they're not likely to provide any new information at this stage. For some cancers you may need regular tests, but for others you'll only need one if you develop symptoms.
Some people may have further tests (such as blood tests) but won't see their specialist doctor afterwards. In this situation, it's important to ask your doctor how you'll get the results of these tests and who to contact if you develop any new problems.
If you find out that you're not going to be seen regularly by your doctor or have regular tests, it may feel very worrying. When a cancer does come back, in most situations it's first discovered when someone tells their doctor about new symptoms they're experiencing. For many cancer types, it's unusual for a returning cancer to be found by scans or blood tests before any symptoms appear.
If you're worried about not having regular check-ups, speak to your doctor or specialist nurse. They may be able to explain that this is normal for your situation, which you might find reassuring. It can also help to find out which symptoms you should look out for and who to get in touch with if you do notice any.
The cancer's always there in the background. Not that I've had it in my mind all the time, but you can't completely forget it. It's always there in your life.
If you have symptoms or emotional problems, it's important to contact your doctor or specialist nurse straight away. Even if you have a regular appointment planned, you don't have to wait until then. Get in touch as soon as possible, and they can arrange to see you earlier than planned.
After your treatment ends, aches and pains that you would previously have shrugged off may make you worry that the cancer has come back. This is a common reaction and sometimes all you need is some reassurance from your GP. If you find that you're becoming overwhelmed by fears of the cancer coming back, your GP can arrange some expert help for you.
It's natural to feel anxious before any appointments. If you do feel this way, you may find support from family, friends or one of the organisations| listed on our database.
If you're going to be seen in person by a specialist doctor or nurse, or if you'll be speaking to them on the phone, here are some things to help you get the most out of your appointments:
Although you may feel anxious before your appointment, it's common to feel reassured afterwards that it's another step in your recovery.
For answers, support or just a chat, call the Macmillan Support Line free* (Monday to Friday, 9am-8pm).

PHOTOS: Christy Turlington Steals The Show In H&M Holiday Ads
Digital Fashion News Writer
Once a top model, always a top model.
That seems to be H&M's unofficial slogan for their Holiday 2013 campaigns, which feature an impressive roster of three in-demand "it" girls: beauties Liu Wen, Doutzen Kroes and, of course, Christy Turlington-Burns. After staring at Turlington-Burns' brand new campaign for quite some time, we've concluded that it's almost unfair how gracefully the 44-year-old has aged. Aside from a few barely noticeable laugh and eye lines, Turlington-Burns gorgeously outshines her two 20-something counterparts.
It's been a big, busy year for "Turly," who not only just completed the ING New York City Marathon, but was also tapped as front-lady for Calvin Klein underwear, Prada and Jason Wu campaigns. Karlie Kloss, we'd watch out if we were you: Your competition has just arrived. In fact, she never left.

This in an exclusive interview with the daily newspaper " Dnevnik " says Director of UBK, Saso Mijalkov, who added that the recent events are "a signal that we need to work more with young people, and clearly that inter-ethnic trust the past 20 -odd years was not built on good enough foundation, or omissible dedicated enough relations of all social and political factors."
-Worse is that these incidents, because of the context, get more serious and different meaning, and send a negative image of the country. This message reaches out to potential investors and to our partners in the international community. Then we need twice as much effort to explain the situation, and get to the desired position – says Director of UBK, Saso Mijalkov, answering the question of whether recent events in the village Stajkovci are sign for breach of the security situation in Macedonia.
Mijalkov says that it is a fact that these events were before, but the public, especially after 2001, is particularly sensitive in these developments.
- Only in the first 9 months of this year, we have filed charges against 140 persons, most of whom are minors. All of them are our children. Moreover, those against whom charges were filed are one's children, whose life will be marked with a police record. We must devote ourselves to preventing such a crisis through various programs and through upbringing and educational process, to make clear to our children that with only unity and tolerance we can succeed. Are these scenarios have involved foreign service, we could not say, because it is not our way of working to go out with accusations that have no evidence, says Mijalkov.
Dnevnik: In the late nineties of the last century in the beginning of a new decade, it seemed that the security services were like Swiss cheese. Is such a thing possible to repeat?
- No. MIA and ASC are in better shape than ever. In equipment, in terms of personal capacities, organizational structure and methodology of work, discipline, and subordination. What I caught in 2006 was at least embarrassing and striking. No career system, outdated organizational structure, centralization and distanced from the citizens. As someone deliberately wanted to devalue the services, and through them to deteriorate the country's position. In of all MI, we had less than 500 computers, and still drove cars "Zastava 101″ and "golf2″. In these seven years we have fully renewed the fleet, procured 4 helicopters, renovated police stations, implemented the project "Safe city", introduced 24 -hour video surveillance at all border crossings, installed TETRA systems, invested million Euros in criminal technical laboratories and implemented many projects and reforms in the system. The difference is more than obvious. At the time of our predecessors, cocaine disappeared from the depot, we had a record seizure in the region, and we regularly participate in international actions. They did not even think to enter into Cair, and the Prime Minister negotiated with group from Kondovo that held the country hostage for six months. Now all its members are in jail, and we realized actions as "Mountain Storm". They did not saw crime in "Bacilo" not thought to cope, for example, with the Frankfurt mafia or Kocani's underground organizations etc, let alone to wipe out urban and tobacco mafia. Citizens recognized this difference and supported it. There is no turning back.
Dnevnik: Lately Macedonia as a state and the current government is accused of selective justice. By your opinion, to which extent these allegations are based on evidence?
- If the opposition has based its allegations of evidence, I believe that at least once they were going to presented it. Following their logic, everyone is innocent, even if the court based on the evidence ruled otherwise. For the opposition, crime in Macedonia never existed. The fact that we were on the bottom of the list of "Transparency" is just tendency for the government. Citizens can complain that they paid and not gotten an apartment, but these affairs as "Fikom" are nonexistent, the accused of "Mashinopromet" were declared as innocent and did not explained how a registered commodity with zero value, set for destruction, is sold in stores at regular price. If you ask the opposition, the convicted previous mayor of Aerodrom from ranks of the ruling party, and party officials from the current government is also selective justice. Yes, we select, but the selection is of those who respect the law and those who operate against the law and enrich on the burden of citizens. For them, we do not have and will not have mercy regardless of political affiliation. Opposition selects depending on whether it is their member or supporter. If someone sues them for defamation then it is an attempt to pressure and silence. When they sue the media, than it is about seeking justice. Hypocrisy and inconsistency.
Dnevnik: Are due to political pressures, domestic or foreign, you were in a situation to turn to someone a blind eye?
At the moment when someone needs to be let off, because of pressures, my resignation will be sealed. That would mean I do not have any power nor the will to fight for the things I believe in and I think is fair. For now, that moment is distant. I cannot say that there was no pressure, but I felt strong enough to resist. The citizens have given us the mandate for indiscriminate and uncompromising fight against crime and corruption. It is easier to resist the pressures when you have their support.
Dnevnik: After all the accusations and allegations that came from Radmila Sekerinska and SDSM against you and your response to it, is there a conflict of interest in the function and in possession of private business?
Two years ago, after the conviction of slander against Boškovski the court stated its mind for the unfounded accusations. After the verdict, not really anything left to add, but to conclude that is the politician's non-inventive attempt to impose at his own party as some relevant factor. However, I understand the need of every politician through legitimate political instrument to lead a political struggle and political dialogue, but we must not forget that you need to keep the level of code of political behavior. In the absence of vision, and in a time when the media in Greece praise you for promoting the attitude of shared responsibility imposed on the name issue, it is clear that we should find a way to turn public attention. She, unfortunately, did not learn the lessons that the lies and manipulations cannot get support from citizens. For me it is important that there is no doubt for any illegal operations, either in the country or abroad. We adjusted the only error in the excerpt, and I expect the State Commission for Prevention of Corruption to comment on all checks made. There is no conflict of interest. The law does not prohibit an official to pre-own a private business. After all, former U.S. President George Bush Sr. was part of the oil business, and then headed the CIA. Should laws be changed in this country, I would certainly honor them to decide between private business and office. Shekerinska blames me for business that I own many years ago, before I became Director of UBK. Many people know me in Macedonia and abroad and know when and how I was part of a private business.
Dnevnik: Shekerinska announced that she has not opened all the cards about you, and they are still to be open.
As I said a while ago, you should observe the level of political dialogue and political struggle. I do not like when using poker slang when it comes to political relations between politicians and officials who carry social responsibility. Due to the nature of my practice function and global officials who carry my responsibility, I rarely go out in public with interviews and opinions and I wanted this interview to take on more crucial topic. And I leave politics to those whose job it is, and it fulfills them.
Dnevnik: What is your relationship with the Prime Minister? Was there crisis moments in that relationship in these seven years, and is something damaged compared to the situation before 2006?
It is challenging that we have much less time to see and talk privately. Since then, for me, first of all, he is the Prime Minister of the Republic of Macedonia, and obligations impose that professional issues have priority on private issues. When it comes to work and responsibility, I can say that there is no deviation or pretend. Citizens have given us the mandate, and the work in their interest must be a priority.
Dnevnik : You are member of the party executive committee and you are considered as man that has a major impact on the party's personnel policy. In what condition is VMRO – DPMNE and whether you thought who will be the party candidate for the upcoming presidential election?
Knowing myself, I would never say that I am satisfied. If VMRO -DPMNE can currently win 60 MPs, I will continue to insist to work with citizens and to present our program and to seek support for projects that we aim to realize. We should not be satisfied with the current ratings and surveys. To be effective, it is desirable to get majority in Parliament, and in this respect, I would not like to state that we are in an ideal condition. We have to do more and to do it better. As far as the presidential candidate who we will take to the upcoming elections, the public will be on time informed, once all internal procedures are completed and after we decide for, in our opinion, the best solution for Macedonia.

Ashley Manning is Peyton Manning Wife (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
by Meg at . CommentsIndianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning is gearing up to face the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV on Sunday, February 7, 2010. Solidly supporting her man is his gorgeous wife Ashley Manning.
Born Ashley Thompson, she met her future husband the summer before his freshman year at the University of Tennessee. They wed on St. Patrick's Day 2001 in Memphis, Tennessee.
Perhaps the best way to describe the successful wife and business woman is to say that she prefers to stay out of the spotlight.
During an interview for Indianapolis Woman magazine, she said, "People may think I am aloof, but I'm not, and I am not shy by any means, but I always let Peyton shine." She admits that she gives him space and she is very independent, perfectly happy doing her own things.
Ashley was born in Memphis and attended the University of Virginia and graduated in 1997 with majors in finance and marketing. She is currently a real estate developer and is involved in marketing a downtown Indianapolis residential development property.
The couple's charity is the Peyback Foundation. Its mission is to help disadvantaged kids, and focuses its efforts in Louisiana, Tennessee and Indiana. In September 2007, St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis renamed one of its campus facilities Peyton Manning Children's Hospital.
Meet the other hot Super Bowl couple: Brittany Brees and Drew Brees photos.

I have been living in this apartment for the last six months. I live in the second floor. An elderly lady in her fifties lives in the first floor. The floors of the apartment are wooden. So I had more than 90% of the exposed area carpetted with padding below it. The construction of the building is not that good and clearly some noise is produced when we walk even though there is padding. The frustrating thing is that the lady living below us keeps on complaining of noise even we are talking at night.
Sometimes we talk and lose track of time. Is there any rule that you can't talk (not shout) in apartment complexes after 11? We do not believe that are making "noise", but the old lady complains that we are making noise. She even called police a couple of times. The last time she called police was because my wife was using grinder at 11 o'clock in the morning. Please advice us how we could react to this harrassment. I know it is best that we settle things amongst ourselves, but this lady never gets tired of complaining. She fails to understand that the will be some amount of noise if people live upstairs. I am afraid that the lady might get us arrested or fined although it is not our fault. Can the police arrest/fine us if the lady continues to make compliants? My lease is going to get over next June and I do not want to break the lease. Please advice me how I should tackle this problem. |

*snortsnortsnortsnortsnort* I'm sorry. You said "an elderly lady in her fifties"? I stopped reading after that. |

You said "an elderly lady in her fifties" I also thought the same thing. Geezzz, I'm 41. I guess I'm just about ELDERLY. What will I be when God willing I hit 80? Ancient Lady? |

OK .. I apologize to you guys if I have misused the term "elderly". Perhaps, it would be helpful to me if you could overlook the "Grammar" aspect and concnetrate on the rest of the body. |
Your choice of words indicates that you may have been treating her like a senile old woman. In which case, I don't blame her for complaining. However, she may be the type of person that complains about everything to everybody and you just happen to be handy. I doubt if there is a thing you can do about it. She might be a bit disturbed, in which case, you could be looking at more trouble. I would think seriously about moving if you could. If the walls and floors are that thin, it's probably a fire trap. |
I'm not thinking this is harrassment. If you are making enough noise to disturb someone, she has every right to complain. The police will only fine you if they judge you are making enough noise to disturb the peace. I agree with PeaBee, the best option seems to move to someplace else. It does sound like a fire trap. |
Where I live, unless the police find that you are disturbing the peace of your neighbors. The more she calls the closer she gets to being fined for wasting their time. Question though, what is this Grinder being used at 11am? Being a second floor apartment my only guess is the garbage disposal. |
I assumed the grinder referred to was a coffee grinder. Ann |
