I've found that if I'm in a forum and I use the search field in the upper right to search a board. On the results page the text in the search field is maintained. But Board changes to Community.
The text in the search field also is transferred to the field directly above show. If you want to edit the search by a word or correct some spelling. Your natural inclination might be to edit it in that field and hit search next to it. Unfortunately you then end up searching the whole Community and getting results from many products you're not using.
Not a huge deal. But something to consider for change in the future to stave off user frustration when confronted with a wasted search.

I believe it does that because the 2nd field in the upper right search area (location) automatically detects what area/forum you are in and filters the results accordingly. It wouldn't really make sense to search the search page, so defaulting to "Community" when on the main search page seems logical enough to me.
I'm curious about what your preference would be? Perhaps remember which area/forum the search was originally initiated from?
I'd think it should maintain the board that I originally searched from. The most likely reason to initiate a search from the search results page is to refine or correct the search in progress. It wouldn't make sense that once I've gotten results from the Civil 3D forum that I'd suddenly want to correct a word and then search the whole community. That just gets a ton of results that don't pertain to Civil 3D.
But I can't go back or change it back to Board or Civil 3D. So if I want to correct or refine the search. I have to go back to the Civil 3D board and start over.

You should not have to go back to the original forum to refine the search, you should be able to refine the search string, search location, or any of the other filters right from the main search page without losing any of the existing search criteria.
If you're trying to refine the search from the upper right search box again, then yeah, that doesn't work because that location defaults to the current page, not the original page. I don't think it would be possible to code it to do both.
See if this screencast helps
OK. I can't hit screecast.com from work. But I went back and tried it again this morning and it worked as it should. I don't know if I was doing something wrong or if there was a temporary glitch in the new site. After I'd experienced the problem during an actual search. I had tested it again and got the whole community result again. All well now though.
One other thing I did notice in your screenshot, and my testing as well is that the search box width "shrinks" after the 2nd search, making it difficult to change the search criteria. Happens with both IE and FireFox
nestly wrote:
OK. I'll take that as an excuse. No way to know at this point.
This one should be fixed now / with a previous update. Can you confirm?
I believe the initial issue with the search location may have been a temporary/script issue, but the problem with the shrinking search box remains (FF 25.0)
Thanks for confirming / looking into it now!

Dog breeders are afraid that a measure on the Nov. 2 ballot will put them out of business.
Proposition B dictates new care requirements for dog-breeding operations and restricts them to a 50-dog limit. The measure also establishes a misdemeanor crime of "puppy mill cruelty," but breeders say the care requirements are excessive.
"We're the good kennels, we're not the bad kennels," said Kelsea Vane. "We get inspected by the AKC, USDA and the state. We're trying not to be the bad guys."
Owners and dogs showed up to a Southwest Chapter of the Missouri Pet Breeders Association rally outside Neosho on Saturday. The group is opposed to Proposition B.
There was a good crowd, said Janice Swofford, Southwest chapter treasurer. Bill Reibolt, Republican candidate for 130th district state representative, addressed the group and they had a cookout, bake sale, face painting and bounce house Saturday afternoon.
Swofford's border collie is a therapy dog and she also shows dogs, but if Proposition B passes, she says she will have to give it up. The new regulations would require "unfettered" outdoor access, twice the square footage of the indoor requirements of 12-square-feet for small dog under 25-inches, 20-square feet for dogs 25-35-inches and 30-square-feet for dogs 35-inches or longer.
Hers is an indoor facility. She lets the dogs out, but does not have a way to put in doggie-doors and runs for everyone.
"I try to do everything right," Swofford said. "I did this indoor kennel so in the rain and mud and snow and ice they did not have to go out."
Another provision asks dogs have "continuous access to potable water that is not frozen and is free of debris, feces, algae and other contaminants." With such a broad definition breeders worry that dog food in a water bowl could set them up for a misdemeanor puppy mill cruelty charge.
"They still call me a puppy mill even though I do what they say I have to do," Swofford lamented.
Group members compare themselves to other agriculture endeavors across the state and contend they already have sufficient regulations. Missouri established a regulatory program for dog breeders in 1992. Another state program, Operation Bark Alert, has a tip hotline and cracks down on unlicensed breeders. Last year six warrants were issued to breeding kennels with substandard conditions, 164 breeders were shut down from more than 200 tips and 3,000 dogs were seized. That program, said Chris Fleming, general manager of Mid-America Pet, is something he can get behind. His business acts as a clearinghouse bringing puppies in, getting them checked by a veterinarian and transported to stores, but if the measure passes he would be out of business.
"These are people that take care of their animals day in and day out," Fleming said. "This is their livelihood. This Proposition B would have a detrimental impact on it. It would make it impossible for them to make a living off of it."
Page 2 of 3 - The biggest problem, Fleming said, is the 50-count limit on the number of dogs, driving down profitability for people who breed. New veterinary rules will also up breeding costs.
Rally attendees worried that Proposition B would be a stepping stone to regulate other forms of agriculture, limiting the number of sheep, pigs or head of cattle.
"These farmers are next and if people aren't vegetarians they need to vote no on Proposition B," said Desiree Ford.
"We're not against regulation," Fleming said. "What we are against is the limitation of what a person can have. Let's make a law that addresses illegal kennels."
Unregulated kennels are easier to operate than ever with direct sales from the Internet, Fleming said, additional funding for regulating agencies to track down people operating outside existing guidelines would help. Cracking down on legal operations, he said, could open the door to those who already fly under the radar.
"Proposition B does not address illegal kennels," he said. "It only addresses these folks who are all licensed and abide by the rules of the license. Effectively, the people who are doing it illegal will continue to illegally raise puppies in inhumane conditions."
It's about small businesses, said Jean Lafferty, of Shady Acres Kennel and publicity chair for the Southwest chapter treasurer.
Veterinarians, dog food suppliers, airlines used to ship the dogs, even ground shipment of supplies will all be affected if her Exeter operation had to downsize. Right now they have around 85 dogs owned by five different families at one central location. She is worried that next year she will have to find homes for 35 dogs. Frightened that they will be euthanized, she said she will not give them to a shelter, but would try to place each one herself
"I am so close to our dogs," she said.
Breeders, she said, have tried to work with the community, offering bulletproof vests and vehicle heat monitoring for canine units.
"I don't understand why they want to hurt us so bad," she said. "We care about animals."
The ballot language says the amendment will "require large-scale dog breeding operations to provide each dog under their care with sufficient food, clean water, housing and space; necessary veterinary care; regular exercise and adequate rest between breeding cycles" language that Lafferty disagrees with. She and other breeders at the rally say they already do all that.
"The way that the proposition reads on the ballot," Lafferty said. "It's not fair."
Fleming says that in addition to inspections by the USDA, AKC and state, his business inspects breeders for proper puppy socialization and humane conditions before purchasing animals. Keeping the dogs healthy and happy is crucial to running a good kennel, he said.
Page 3 of 3 - "It's basic business practices," Fleming said. "If they do a poor job and produce a bad puppy or bad business product, they're not going to be able to sell it … and if they can't sell it they can't put food on the table or food in their kennel."
"All we're trying to do is support our family," said Daniel Ford of Triple-D.

On May 29, 1928, the former French colony of Pondicherry had an important visitor in Rabindranath Tagore, who had made a halt near its shores to call on one of its most famous residents, philosopher and revolutionary Sri Aurobindo, whom he had last met in 1907 and had dedicated a poem in praise of his struggles.
The 83rd anniversary of that historic meeting, between two of the country's foremost intellectuals, was observed at the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) by the World Peace Trust here on Sunday.
Secretary of the trust Dibyendu Goswami said that though the poet was older to Sri Aurobindo, he offered his poem in 1907 as a "salutation" to the philosopher.
Though Sri Aurobindo had retired into complete "seclusion" by 1928 and had avoided meeting even his own disciples, he made exception when it was learnt that Tagore had halted near Puducherry, on his way to Europe, in order to meet him. While the meeting itself lasted only for a few hours, it ended with Tagore reciting the poem that he wrote in praise of Sri Aurobindo once again.
'Puducherry blessed'
Member of Legislative Assembly and former Minister K. Lakshminarayanan said that Puducherry was blessed by the fact that great men such as Sri Aurobindo and Subramanya Bharathi chose to live in the town and spread their message of love.
Though Tagore and Bharathi never met during their lifetimes, both of them understood each others' thoughts well and this was proved by the references that Bharathi has made of Tagore in many of his works, he said.
Photo exhibition
A photo exhibition, displaying rare pictures of Tagore's visit to Puducherry, was also held as part of the celebrations.

Jamie Chung in David Kahn
I can't get over how gorgeous Jamie Chung is! I think her red lipstick looks great with her Sunner blouse, which she paired with David Kahn's Katherine trouser jeans. These are the same jeans that both Katrina Begin and Maria Menounous have been spotted in.
Although she starred in one of this summer's biggest blockbusters Hangover II, it looks as though her next project is going to be an indie film. She signed to appear in Eden, a story about a young Korean-American girl who is kidnapped and forced into prostitution.

Rachel Bilson in Guess
It looks like filming is already under way for Rachel Bilson's next film, The To Do List. The film, which stars Bill Hader, Audrey Plaza and Andy Samburg is scheduled for release next year. Since it has both Bill Hader and Andy Samburg, I'm sure it's going to be a comedy.
Rachel donned a pair of vintage Guess cut-off shorts with a pink cropped top. I think that these shorts are part of her character's wardrobe for the film, but I could definitely see some celebrities trying to wear these!
Emily Blunt in James Jeans
For the most part, I think Emily Blunt seems to fly under the paparazzi radar, especially considering she's married to a celebrity! She was snapped stocking up on groceries at Whole Foods.
We usually see Emily out in J Brand but this time she wore a pair of James Jeans Twiggy skinny jeans in slate wash with a simple tee shirt. We've started to see more and more celebrities out in James jeans recently and with all of the great washes, I'm sure they're going to get more popular. You can buy these jeans online for $123.
Rachel Bilson in Citizens of Humanity
Rachel Bilson was seen heading to set for her film, The To Do List. It seems like we weren't seeing any paparazzi pictures of Rachel for a little while there. But I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of photos of her since it seems like the paps know where she's filming!
We haven't seen Rachel in her Citizens of Humanity Slick jeggings in Sedona wash for quite some time. I really do like the wash of these jeans and how it's not quite blue and not quite gray. I think that it looks great with the blue tee but this outfit as a whole just screams fall or winter to me!

Fast but grippy, the X-King rolls smoothly and quietly despite its pronounced knobs, making it the ultimate all-around tire for anything from cross-country riding and racing to Alp'cross. Continental included its Protection technology for the non-foldable iteration of this tire. So, you can enjoy the benefit of the smooth yet grippy treads as well as enhanced puncture protection (hence the name). Conti also added an additional layer that encircles the tire to guard against punctures, and unlike puncture-resistant troughs in other brands' tires, this protection reaches wall-to-wall in order to resist damage all the way around. Don't worry, though, because Continental has been careful to ensure that the added layer doesn't harden the feel or reduce the level of dampening comfort of the X-King. Making this possible is that Continental heavily relies on its proprietary Black Chili rubber compound in order to help the tire be all things to all conditions. And an added perk of this process is that it's succeeded in enhancing the grip of the tire, making it tougher and lighter on their treads. Essentially, the Continental engineers in Germany refined its synthetic rubbers with nano-sized particles to create a compound that reacts to surface objects more quickly, thoroughly improving grip. These particles also form a tighter bond to improve compound strength, lengthening tread life and reducing the chances that lugs will rip and tear. Compared to Continental's earlier-generation tire compound, Black Chili tires offer 20% less rolling resistance and 30% more grip, yet they also manage to improve tread life by around 5%. The X-King 29in Tire is tubeless-ready, and Continental recommends the use of its Revo Sealant to protect against the odd mini puncture. There are a ton of advantages to having a tubeless set up in...

The Only Thing That Matters
This past week was a tough one for me. Both of my boys were sick. They had horrible colds and coughs that kept them up at night, their noses turned into non-stop faucets, and the little one had an ear infection (probably for longer than he should have because I chalked up the fever to the cold.) Oh yeah, and I was sick too, but as you know, we Mommies aren't allowed to be sick. So I chugged cough syrup, popped aspirins and spent the week not sleeping and covered in baby boogers. Needless to say, it wasn't my favorite week ever.
And then Sunday came. December 14th.

20 Hot Boxing Babes (Pics)
I'm a very big fan of boxing, but I think it's safer to say that I'm a much bigger fan of these gorgeous women dressed in, well, just about anything. This is just like hot, naked, pillow fights, but they're wearing boxing gloves. Heck, we might even see some ear nibbling if we're lucky.

Great location.
Posted Jan 26, 2015Pros: Conveniently located on Collins. Right on the beach. Close to the Ocean Drive strip, Espanola Way and the Lincoln Rd. Mall shopping experience.
Had a wonderful 5 days in Miami. The James has great design, and laid back attitude. Nice finishes, and beautiful layout.

room sizes
Posted Jan 23, 2015Pros: the hotel facility was nice and accommodating
Location: good location with walking distance to all action in south beach
The over all was pleasant but I was expecting a bigger room given the description of the double bed room with balcony,Expedia should provide a floor plan showing the room layout because there is not enough room to move around and basically the description was misleading.

Great beach access
Posted Jan 20, 2015Great experience except for the additional charges that are tacked on to everything and are a bit steep. For example, $38 for parking per day!
for Couplesby A verified travelerfrom Ontario
Nice hotel close to the action.
Posted Jan 12, 2015Pros: 1. The location is perfect. On the beach, equally close to Ocean Drive and Lincoln Rd Mall. 2. People being civilized.. 3. Clean.
Cons: 1. WiFi speed is extremely slow and weak - needs a major upgrade. 2. TV signal is unstable. Needs an upgrade. 3. Eliminate the vibration noise.
Location: 2 minutes walk to Ocean Drive and Lincoln Dr Mall. Restaurants, walk along the boardwalk, park or street. Checkout the cars and people.
A week of wonderful time spent relaxing, eating, walking and tanning.

Overall a good hotel, just has a few weird quirks, like really crappy 'all natural ingredients soap that does not clean' but most of the issues were just small details.

Very nice hotel close to the beach
Posted Jan 7, 2015We had a very pleasant experience at The James Royal Palm. The facility was clean. It is close to the beach and within walking distance to restaurants and shops. The staff is very friendly. The food was also good at the hotel restaurant. We enjoyed the two swimming pools and hot tub.
for Everyoneby A verified travelerfrom Newton, MA
Great holiday warm weather getaway
Posted Jan 2, 2015Pros: The recent renovations have made the hotel comfortable, sophisticated and full of current technology features that made the stay fun.
Cons: The only downside was that the pool had no sun after 1:30pm this time of year b/c the angle of the sun is so low now.
We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay over the holiday. Having stayed at South Beach many times before, I really liked the central location of the James/Royal Palm. Not only the convenience to the beach and boardwalk, but also the shopping at the Lincoln Rd. mall and the fun of Ocean Ave and visiting all of the bars at the other great hotels on Collins Ave.
for Everyoneby A verified travelerfrom Milano
Hotel in posizione ottimale
Posted Dec 29, 2014Pros: La posizione strategica e tranquilla.
Location: A piedi, veramente in pochi passi, si possono raggiungere tutti e 3 i punti della vita notturna di Miami Beach.
Hotel definibile ottimo in rapporto al prezzo pagato, posizione ideale veramente due passi da Ocean Drive, due passi da Lincoln Road e due passi da Espanola av. ma totalmente tranquillo la notte. Personale gentile e disponibilissimo, al ricevimento forniscono tutte le informazioni sui servizi e su cosa è compreso. Il primo giorno in spiaggia veniamo informati che le sdraio sono incluse mentre per l'ombrellone c'è un supplemento di 19 dollari, al momento pensavo ad una sorpresa negativa che poi non si è rivelata tale perché la tariffa di 21 dollari/d per servizi hotel da pagare in loco non è stata applicata e mi sono stati addebitati solo due giorni di ombrellone. Abbiamo soggiornato 3 notti.

RIM's BlackBerry 10 Might Pursue Single-Device Strategy: Report
RIM's BlackBerry 10 Might Pursue Single-Device Strategy: Report
Nicholas Kolakowski
Posted 2012-01-05
RIM might offer a single BlackBerry 10 device, according to a new report. That would represent a sea change for RIM, which usually pushes multiple BlackBerry models.
Research In Motion might place its bets on a single "superphone" running its next-generation BlackBerry 10, according to a Jan. 5 posting on the
Boy Genius Report
blog. "The only phone RIM is working on bringing to market right now is the BlackBerry London," read the blog, citing the ever-popular unnamed sources. "We have been told that RIM is currently shopping the London with carriers." It also claimed the Canadian device maker had canceled another BlackBerry 10 smartphone, code-named Colt.
RIM is betting heavily that BlackBerry 10, supposedly due in the second half of 2012, will prove a tougher competitor in the increasingly crowded smartphone segment. RIM's current BlackBerry devices have failed to prevent the company's market share from sliding in the face of aggressive competition from Apple's iPhone and the growing family of Google Android devices. A renewed push by Microsoft's Windows Phone could also complicate the environment for RIM.
If accurate, RIM's single-device strategy isn't that unusual. Apple has traditionally issued one new iPhone at a time, and other companies have pushed their marketing and development muscle behind a single "hero" smartphone. But it would be a change from RIM's recent strategy, which centered on a whole line of branded devices. RIM is also prepping a major software update in February for its PlayBook tablet, which has suffered from anemic sales in comparison to Apple's iPad. RIM executives publicly acknowledge the company is in something of a transition. As part of that transition, RIM might end up dismissing co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie as co-chairmen of their company's board, according to reports circulating widely online.
Barbara Stymiest is the figure being cited by Canadian publication the
National Post
as RIM's potential next chairperson. The newspaper, which attributed that information to unnamed sources, described her as "an independent director who joined RIM's board in 2007." Whether or not she ends up taking the reins of RIM's board, analysts are already weighing in on whether she can help the company with its market-share struggles. "We would view such an announcement positively as we believe she will initiate a formal strategic review, possibly trim costs in the hardware business, and possibly announce additional partnerships," Peter Misek, an analyst with Jefferies & Co, wrote in a co-authored research note Jan. 4. "However, we continue to see an outright sale in the near term as unlikely and see near-term results as challenged." For the third quarter of its fiscal 2012, RIM reported revenue of $5.2 billion and net income of $265 million. BlackBerry subscribers increased 35 percent year-over-year, to 75 million. However, RIM co-CEO Balsillie expressed dissatisfaction during a Dec. 15 conference call on the company's performance in the United States, and suggested that a "comprehensive review of all aspects of the business" was underway.

Senate narrowly votes down Obama budget
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
Did I say narrowly? I meant massively, but you probably guessed that:
President Obama's budget suffered a second embarrassing defeat Wednesday, when senators voted 99-0 to reject it.
Coupled with the House's rejection in March, 414-0, that means Mr. Obama's budget has failed to win a single vote in support this year.
Republicans forced the vote by offering the president's plan on the Senate floor.
Democrats disputed that it was actually the president's plan, arguing that the slim amendment didn't actually match Mr. Obama's budget document, which ran thousands of pages. But Republicans said they used all of the president's numbers in the proposal, so it faithfully represented his plan.
Former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett is working on a project for NBC entitled 1600 Penn (it's about time a network tried a show about DC politics written from the perspective of the left for a change). I'm thinking about working on a competing program called Everybody Hates Obama's Budget.

This review is a bit late - my wife and I stayed here in May 2012 for our wedding anniversary. Trip from the airport was sort of exciting. We decided to go with a regular taxi rather than a hotel shuttle. Driver was nice but took back roads the whole way through sugar cane fields. It was bumpy to say the least! When we got out of shaky cab and walked into the lobby of the hotel, it was like paradise. Check-in was easy, served rum punch and shown to our room.
View from the balcony was stunning. Beach was perfect. The pool was very nice but we didn't swim in it once as the beach was so perfect. The food was a little bit of a hassle. We ate at the hotel restaurant a few times and the food ranged from adequate to very good. There are a few restaurants you can walk to that are pretty good but it can feel like a hike in the heat, with cars whizzing by you. Taxis are easy but it's very expensive to get around the island.
We did one of the island jeep tours which was a lot of fun. On Friday night we took a public bus down to Oistins which was an adventure also. The bus took forever - a bit over an hour to get there. The scene was very cool - tons of food vendors, a DJ and locals selling crafts. We thought it was very cool how the tourists blended with the local people. Everyone was very friendly. Decided to take a taxi back from there late at night because we couldn't deal with that bus again and it was about $45 (opposed to $4 for the bus).
So, all in all it was a great trip and a great hotel. The staff were all very nice and helpful. I'm not sure if we'll return to Barbados again because there are other places we want to see, but if we do I would definitely stay here again.

10 Unique Gifts Your Entire Family Will Love
Looking to shower everyone on your list with unique gifts they'll love? When you factor in mondo families, the holiday shopping adds up. Even if you keep it small, buying for your own brood—plus sisters, brothers, and all the kids that go with them—adds up in a hurry.
These unique gifts should ease things a bit. Whether you're looking to make a splash at home or looking for something that will suit the family down the street, these gift ideas are, well, fun for the whole family.
1. Roamio DVRs: End tears and heated family debates over who gets to watch or record their shows with TiVo's Roamio DVRs, super systems that let you record up to six shows at once. With up to 450 HD hours of storage, your fam will be able to fit everything from SpongeBob to Parks and Recreation, and you all can watch your shows anywhere, anytime. And we mean anywhere. With its livestream capability, you can watch on your iPad, iPhone, at home or on the go (Moms, read: roadtrip sanity saver). And when your pre-teen asks you to watch that episode of iCarly when Andre throws a party (oh yes...that one...), you'll be able to find it faster than you can say "Nickelodeon" with Roamio's one-remote, one-box access to NetFlix and Hulu. Now if it could only cook dinner, too... (Starting at $199 plus service, TiVo, for a list of specifications by model, click here.)
2. English Garden Bag Of Tools: In this fast age of hurried dinners, phones in faces, families don't spend enough quality time together. This English Garden Bag of Tools has all the makings of some good family fun. Not only is it a handsome tote, but it contains tools crafted by garden experts Burgon & Ball and reusable plant markers. It's fun to get your hands dirty together, and the bonding keeps on coming when the garden is in bloom ($36.99, restorationhardware.com).
3. Family chalkboard: Playing school, to-do lists, a family game of Win, Lose, or Draw. The uses for a family chalkboard are endless. The kids will love drawing on it, and this one, framed with reclaimed porch board, will look great in the kitchen ($75, etsy.com).
4. Ice Cream Maker: The whole family will scream for this gift. An ice cream maker is the gift that makes not just creamy goodness but memories galore ($89.95, williams-sonoma.com).
5.

The Hot Wheels Car Maker Playset is both new and nostalgic. Pops will love passing on a classic toy to the next generation, and everyone will dig the act of making--a lost art in this day and age ($39.99, amazon.com). Keep reading...

Historical Traveler Reviews Rialto Hotel Barcelona
Ideal location
We stayed at the Rialto for a long weekend, 3 nights in all. We had read all the comments from previous vistors so was prepared for the hot water situation. When we arrived we was given our key our room was on the first floor, we took the lift to our floor then hunted around all the corridors for our room. When we found our room we was surprised how clean and tidy it was, but very dark! The window in our room was tiny and looked out onto the backs of other buildings so there was no natural daylight. It was a quiet room, but then again we was only using it to sleep in, as there was so much to do in Barcelona. We then tried to have showers after been travelling for so long, then it happened no hot water!! We went to tell the reception and they were so shocked as if it was the first time this had happened. They told us someone was loking at the system as we spoke. So we gave them the benefit of the doubt. Next morning the water was tepid but the shower was really hot so we filled the sink up from the shower head. Breakfast was very good, plenty of choice and lots of it. The hotel was an ideal base for seeing all the sights close to them all, we done lots of walking but enjoyed every minute of it.
A good time had by all!
I have just returned with my wife and two sons, twelve and nine, from five day stay at the Rialto.What we liked was how central the hotel is. Its located just off the Ramblas the main tourist street, and near to the harbour. The building (and rooms) are clean and tidy, and the staff friendly.Room furniture a little 'tired' but clean and adequate for our short stay. We were on the 3rd floor but had hot water! Maybe the hotel management had read some of the other reviews. A pipe burst put the cold water off for a couple of hours, but this was quickly sorted and to be honest I think most guests would have been out in the sunshine and not noticed (it was a hot week).Breakfast/dinning room vey impressive, breakfast buffet good but dinners a little too 'fishy' for me. Also with youngish kids less exotic dishes would have been wellcome. Not a big problem as wide range of eateries from fast food to haut quisine on the doorstep.Earlier contributer commented on the 'warren like' layout and potential problems if a fire but there was ceratinly a smoke alarm in our room and alarms and sprinklers evident in the dinning room. I got the impression that there appears to be improvement going on.Only problem was noise from street cafe at 3 am each morning putting their tables/chairs away only to repeat the performance in reverse at 7 am.Overall I would go back again and would have no fears about recommending it to others.
Depends on the room you get
First night we were given a room overlooking the street. This room was incredibly noisy. When we asked to change we were told this was not possible until the next day - so we tried to put up with it. But what with traffic, people's voices, music etc it was impossible to get a moments peace so at 3.30 am we complained more forecefully and were given another room at the back of the hotel. The difference was unbelievable - virtually silent. After that, everything was great. Reasonable rates, fantastic location..
Brilliant Break - Excellent Value
We stayed for 3 nights in February. We noticed a distinct difference between the public areas of the hotel, which have brand new decor, furnishings and fittings - and the bedrooms, which are much less smart. Ours was clean, but somewhat jaded and worn The bathroom could definitely do with some updating. We too encountered a shortage of hot water on one particular evening - we kept the bath tap running for about 30 mins before any hot water came through! We had a twin room overlooking the street and although we did notice some noise (which errupted at intervals during the night), we felt it was part of the local atmosphere and weren't troubled by it. We had a thoroughly brilliant time, inspite of some serious rain and have vowed to return before long. We felt that our room (which included an excellent breakfast) was good value at thirty UK pounds per person per night - compared with others in the heart of the City and would happily stay there again.
Issues with hot water!!
we got this hotel as part of a package which was cheaper than seperate flights and accomodation. now i kinda wish i had paid the extra. ok, the hotel is in an excellent location and is clean, also, the breakfast choice would set you up for the day! but...there is a problem with the hot water as is said in other reviews on this site. we arrived, were given a great room, but the beds were twin instead of double - no biggie, then, we discovered no hot water.. when i told hotel they straight away gave me another room on 1st floor...it was kind of like they expected it. off we went and.....walked into the smallest room in the world! it was in middle of hotel so window looked out onto some kinda flat roof. the ensuite was sort of plonked at the end of the bed?? weird..saying all that, it is v.v.v.v. handy location wise, and the staff were nice...just be on the look out for the water thing and maybe specify type of room you want..
Loved it
stayed here for four nights with my sister,excellent hotel for short break in Barcelona. great location for all museums, metro, buses. food in restaurant top quality, staff helpful and friendly. i will stay here again
Take my advice and stay away !
we too stayed at the rialto for 3 days and had no hot water on the third floor - in fact we tried a room on the 5th floor - no hot water there either. other guests we spoke to had the same bad experience. front desk pretended (1) not to understand the problem - the old 'no-comprende' trick. (2) then pretended not to be aware of the problem (3) then told us how to turn the tap left for cold or right for hot (4) gave several different evasive excuses (5) we still had no hot water for the 3 days! and no apology. the hotel is a confusing warren of twists and turns (so like the staff!) on the serious side we would hate to have to find a way out in a fire situation. definitely one to be avoided - don't believe some of the guides which tell you otherwise !
Not if you like hot water
The hotel is in a great location and serves a good breakfast. The only problem was that I was with a group of friends and none of the three rooms we occupied had hot water. Perhaps it was because we were on the top floor but nevertheless we were charged full price.
So unless you love cold showers I would look elsewhere, shame.
Great location
The Rialto is perfectly located for seeing all of the sights of Barcelona, especially if you like to explore the city attractions on foot (except Montjuic area and Parc Guell which are better served by the metro or bus turistic which acn be caught in the plaza catalunya and takes you to all the city and outlying sites fro only 15 euros for a one day ticket or 19 for a 2 day ticket).At night the location really comes into its' own by being in an area that is close to some good restaraunt of all tastes, but , especially the restaraunts located in the Plaza Real which is only 75 metres away as you turn left from outside the hotel.
The Hotel itself is very clean throughout. Our room was on the first floor and fronted on to the main street Carrer de Ferran. The bed linen was changed daily and was clean and crisp. The towels in the bathroom and the accesories i.e. Shampoos etc. were also changed daily.There was noise from the street which was obvious but not intrusive. if you had an interior room the noise would be non existent. The noise is generated only because the street otside and throughout the Gothic Quarter are very narrow and the buildings reasonably tall (for the period). The breakfast is ample with unlimted amounts of both hot and cold selections. The restaraunt looks very stylish. We didn't eat at the restaraunt which has a more Catalan menu as my wife is not as adventurous with food as myself, but , obviously this is only personal preference.
All the staff in the hotel are extremely helpful and friendly, and the majority speak excellent English.
Highly recommended hotel
We almost thought we were given the wrong room upon walking into our room at the Rialto. Having booked the room online, and it being our first European vacation, we were not sure what to expect, but the hotel's accommadations and location and prices far surpassed any expectations we had. For approx. $85 a night, we had a huge, air conditioned sitting room with modern art deco-style furnishings(sofa, 2 armchairs, oak desk, coffee tables, side tables, huge armoire), television, stereo, cool paintings, and floor to ceiling windows that opened onto the very old courtyard below. A similarly styled bedroom adjoining the living area through curtained glass french doors supplied two, comfortable single beds, (push them together if you please) and the same courtyard view as before. Another television, a mini bar and a cool antique pants press were all I needed for this room to rate well in my book. Then, there was a very good sized changing area with another armoire for hanging hangy things in which led to a huge spartan bathroom complete with a tub for two (jacuzzi feature didn't work though), huge mirror, two sinks, toilet and bidet, of course, and plenty of health and beauty aids you don't normally find in American hotels for this rate. I forgot to mention the entire floor of the hotel room was done in cool, large tiles, the ceiling was hand painted, and there were cool lamps throughout. The location was right in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona and was surrounded by tons of cafes, restaurants, bars and shops and markets as well as popular tourist destinations. A Metro (subway) stop was also nearby on the Rambles which was only 4 blocks away, therefore it was quieter than other hotels which are right on one of the busier streets or overlooking a busy town square. The suite accommadations that we chanced upon were great, and i'm sure the smaller rooms would be just as nice and more economical. When booking, if you can get a similar price as we had for such a room, go for it!! It is definitely wo

Rickie Fowler-Sergio Garcia highlights third day at Match Play
More Golf: Leaderboard | Rankings | Schedule | Equipment | FedEx Cup | Masters 2014
Best match -- Had to be Graeme McDowell over Hunter Mahan 1 UP in 21 holes. Mahan led by two thru 16 and McDowell said afterward he thought it was over at that point. A par-birdie finish kept him alive, however, and he closed on the 21st hole.
Worst match -- Louis Oosthuizen over Webb Simpson 5 and 4. It wasn't even as close as the score indicates.
Best shot -- This from Graeme McDowell for par at the 20th hole to extend the match:
Stat of the day -- Graeme McDowell has led zero of his 54 regulation holes but has somehow advanced to the quarterfinals. Trailed by three thru 15 in his first round, trailed by two thru 15 in the second round, and trailed by two thru 16 in round three. Wow.
Strangest development -- Sergio Garcia conceded a 17-foot putt to Rickie Fowler. No, not a typo. Yes, it was very strange.
Biggest upset -- Rickie Fowler (No. 14 seed) over Sergio Garcia (No. 2 seed).
Quote of the day -- Might be a quote of the year candidate. Fowler on Sergio concession:
Rickie Fowler on Sergio Garcia's concession: "He said, 'You wanna halve?' I didn't know what he meant. I thought maybe he had a sandwich."
— Jason Sobel (@JasonSobelGC) February 21, 2014
Quote of the day II -- "I've just robbed three players at this tournament and I can't believe I'm still in it." -Graeme McDowell
"Yep, we're definitely in Arizona" moment -- This from Fowler:
Best quarterfinal match -- They're all pretty good but I'm pretty excited about Jason Day vs. Louis Oosthuizen. When they're playing well they're probably two of the eight or 10 best golfers in the world.

The New York Times
The day in D.C.
Sotomayor quits club: Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor resigned Friday from an elite all-women's club after Republicans questioned her participation in it. Sotomayor said she resigned from the Belizean Grove to prevent the issue from becoming a distraction in her confirmation hearings. Federal judges are bound by a code that says they shouldn't join any organization that discriminates by race, sex, religion or nationality. The Belizean Grove bills itself as women's answer to the 130-year-old all-male Bohemian Club in California.
Immigration: President Obama said Friday he is committed to a comprehensive immigration overhaul that includes a way for illegal immigrants to become U.S. citizens. He told the Esperanza National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast and Conference that U.S. borders must be strengthened to thwart illegal immigration. But he also supports giving the millions of people in the U.S. illegally the chance to become citizens. He said they must pay a fine and taxes, learn English and "go to the back of the line" of people trying to enter the United States from their home country.
Judge impeached: The House on Friday impeached U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent of Texas who is imprisoned for lying about sexual assaults of two women. The impeachment sets up a trial in the Senate. Kent, 59, entered a federal prison in Massachusetts on Monday to serve a 33-month sentence.
Bo is a card: The Obama White House is inviting Internet users to download and print out the baseball card for the first family's dog, Bo Obama. The card, at tinyurl.com/nyewfl, says you can call him the "first dog of the United States." The "did you know" section reveals the Portuguese water dog doesn't know how to swim.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Obama donned his father-in-chief hat Friday, devoting much of his afternoon to emphasizing the importance of mentors and father figures for young people and to prodding young men to be better parents.
"When fathers are absent, when they abandon their responsibility to their children, we know the damage that does to our families," Obama told teenagers and community leaders in the East Room of the White House, beginning what he called a "national conversation on responsible fatherhood and healthy families."
Obama sprinkled his talk with references to his own absent father, who left him with his mother in Hawaii when he was 2 and visited him only once after that.
"I say this as someone who grew up without a father in my life," Obama said. "That's something that leaves a hole in a child's heart that governments can't fill."
He said children raised without fathers were more likely to drop out of school and abuse drugs. But aware of his own example, he told his audience — a diverse group that included Darryl McDaniels of Run DMC and the skateboarder Tony Hawk — that growing up fatherless did not mean a person could not succeed.
That Obama was giving such attention to the issue at a time of crisis in Iran and high-stakes debate on health care and financial overhauls shows how personally he takes fatherhood, White House officials said.
An estimated 24 million U.S. children are growing up with absent fathers, and a disproportionate number of them are African-American. Those children are at higher risk of falling into lives of poverty and crime and becoming parents themselves in their teenage years.
The White House is trying to tackle that problem, adding to its packed domestic agenda, but without seeking legislation or new policies. It is sponsoring forums around the country this summer and fall to promote programs for mentors and fathers and to see how the federal government can support them.
Obama also talked Friday about raising his two daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 8.
During the question-and-answer part of the event, one student asked Obama: "Which one is funner? Being a father or being a president?"
"There's nothing more fun than being a father," Obama said, adding, "Now, my kids aren't teenagers yet, so I don't know whether that will maintain itself."
He told the audience that one of the best moments he has had since becoming president was going to a parent-teacher conference at Sidwell Friends School, "where the teachers were bragging on my children."
Obama's remarks were not as tough on black fathers as they have been in the past. Last Father's Day at one of the largest black churches in Chicago, he delivered a sharp message to black men, saying, "We need fathers to recognize that responsibility doesn't just end at conception."
That address was striking for its bluntness. On Friday, his words were more measured, but he still called for personal responsibility and repeated the "conception" line, to applause.
After the session Friday, Obama's guests headed to the South Lawn for barbecue cooked by the celebrity chef Bobby Flay and mentoring sessions between youths and local fathers, celebrity fathers and every other type of father.

Evolve PC: Remove 60 FPS Lock, Fix Mouse Acceleration & Smoothing
By Steve Burke Published January 17, 2015 at 12:00 amEvolve's closed beta didn't ship this weekend without its share of regular PC annoyances. Among many others, the most immediately noticeable restrictions on Evolve's PC closed beta are its locked framerate (FPS) and awkward mouse lagging / acceleration -- here's how to fix these problems.
Note: Our Evolve beta GPU benchmark is already online here.
Evolve Hands-On Impressions - Wraith Gameplay, Evacuation Singleplayer, & Beta Dated
By Nick Pinkerton Published December 18, 2014 at 12:00 amLeft 4 Dead developers Turtle Rock Studios are two months away from releasing their shooter-action hybrid, "Evolve." Leading into this, the developers hosted an event at their local San Francisco offices, rolling out a series of announcements in the process. We were able to attend the media event and get hands-on with the title.
The news includes a new game mode, a third playable monster, and an open beta announcement. Evolve will feature a single-player experience called "Evacuation" that will allow for local cooperative and online cooperative & PVP play. Turtle Rock also announced the third available Monster upon launch: the Wraith.
Evolve will enter open beta on Xbox Live January 15-19, with limited testing for PC and Playstation 4 users, too.
Elite: Dangerous Crash Fixes – Black Screens, Tearing, Stuttering, CTDs
By Steve Burke Published December 18, 2014 at 12:00 amThe world of space simulators has experienced major throwbacks to the 80s and 90s lately, with the return of Chris Roberts (Star Citizen, Wing Commander, Freelancer) and David Braben (Elite) to the scene. Elite: Dangerous just went gold and started shipping in a finalized state earlier this week.
As with most modern games, Elite: Dangerous players are experiencing crashes to desktop, black screens, tearing, stuttering, server authentication issues, and FPS drops. We've got a few solutions in this guide.
Far Cry 4 Crash Fixes – White Screen, Frame Stuttering & Drops, Stops Responding
By Steve Burke Published November 18, 2014 at 7:39 amI don't think we've ever tested any AAA games without a follow-up "crash fixes" article. Bugs run rampant – especially for PC users – in most modern triple-A titles, and that remains true for Far Cry 4. After last week's Assassin's Creed benchmark and crash fix posts, we've returned with a Far Cry 4 crash fix guide.
This crash fix guide addresses Far Cry 4 white screens, failure to launch, black screens, CTDs, frame stuttering, & AMD issues.
Assassin's Creed Unity Crash Fixes: Black Screens, Lag, Stuttering, & Low FPS Drops
By Steve Burke Published November 12, 2014 at 6:53 amThere hasn't been a game release lately that didn't warrant a "crash fixes" post, to include Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and Watch_Dogs. Assassin's Creed Unity now joins the ranks of buggy game launches, though it's not nearly as bad as some of the previous titles we've worked with. While reviewing the game and performing our GPU benchmark, we revealed several PC-centric errors and crash fixes that needed swift resolution.
This quick guide will look at Assassin's Creed Unity's black screen crashes, minimizing to desktop, CTDs, lag, stuttering, network connectivity issues, and FPS drops.
Blizzard's "Overwatch" Gameplay Analyzed, Fully Detailed
By Steve Burke Published November 08, 2014 at 9:00 amHaving spent some time observing all of Blizzard's emergent "Overwatch" footage, we pieced together a video analysis of all existing recordings to discuss the game's merits. Overwatch is an upcoming FPS from Blizzard Entertainment and, believe it or not, is the company's first original title in seventeen years. Having survived on Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft for almost two decades now, Blizzard is trying its hand at the FPS genre.
Lords of the Fallen Graphics Tech: Turbulence, Soft Body Physics, & Particle FX
By Steve Burke Published October 28, 2014 at 2:10 pmWe're currently in the process of GPU benchmarking Lords of the Fallen, a game that our own Nick Pinkerton previewed back at PAX Prime 2013. The game hosts impressive graphics technology in partial thanks to partnership with nVidia, who offer their GameWorks graphics SDK freely to game developers.
Developers CI Games and Deck13 utilized GameWorks (detailed here) to introduce physics-responsive particle effects, soft body (cloth, fabric) physical effects, volumetric lighting that responds to transparency and surface opacity / reflectivity, and destructible environment effects.
We Stumble Through Civilization: Beyond Earth Gameplay - "It's Still Civ"
By Steve Burke Published October 24, 2014 at 9:57 pmIt's not often that I get a break from benchmarking games so that I can actually play them. That's normally Nick Pinkerton's job, our Senior Editor tasked with handling our game content these days. Civilization is an interesting game to benchmark; it's always been regarded as CPU-intensive due to the heavy processing done between turns and has GPU-intensive buffer requirements for map movement. For some unknown reason, GN staff decided to actually play the game.
We've certainly done worse.
Borderlands: Pre-Sequel Crash Fixes – Black Screens, Lag, Tearing, & Low FPS Drops
By Steve Burke Published October 15, 2014 at 4:38 pmThe release of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel saw our staff benchmarking the game's framerate performance across various graphics cards, as always. We'd already previewed the gameplay mechanics of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel at PAX, but now that the game's released, it's time to resolve some of the most common crash fixes. This is something we do regularly for major releases, including Watch Dogs and Titanfall in previous launch cycles.
As with most major launches these days, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel suffers from some flickering, crashing & CTDs, black screens, freezes, and PhysX issues. This guide will help resolve a few of the issues we've uncovered thus far.
Interstellar Marines Preview - Unique, Competitive FPS Mechanics in Space
By Patrick Lathan Published October 01, 2014 at 4:29 pmFrom Danish developer Zero Point Software, Interstellar Marines is an in-development single player / competitive multiplayer / co-op FPS featuring space marines (obviously) in the near-ish 21st century future. The game is based in that middle-era of sci-fi where mankind has ventured into space to find new life forms, but hasn't quite worked out how to not be promptly murdered by them (think Alien).
We've been asked to take a look at Interstellar Marines for preview and review purposes -- here are some of our thoughts.

Agree with comments, still love it

Comments about Butz Carving Knives :
I agree with the comments of other reviewers - this knife does require a little TLC from the start. It is sharp, but not quite ready for detail work. You need to hone it and get the edge to the razor or "scary sharp" level. I found this a little challenging, but once done, this knife has been my favorite for detail work. It has a nice balance and comfortable feel in the hand, and the blade keeps sharp longer than some of my other knives. I've found that, after some stropping with leather, if I place "yellow" compound over some thin cotton webbing material (like the stuff used in re-upholstery), and then give it some very light strokes, it gets an even sharper edge.
ok, for the price

About Me Professional
Bought this on sale, so I added the sharpening to save time. Was not close to being sharp plus blade was loose. After some work, it's an ok general purpose whittling knife.
Buy this presharpened!!!

I bought 2 of these. Thought I ordered detail knife and roughing knife. Received 2 roughing knives..Ordered without sharpening, big mistake! Handles are quite comfortable but one blade defective (high and low spots and initial grinding quite uneven). Other one (same knife) I was able to sharpen .

It is good for small hands. The short blade doesn't get in the way of your carving projects.

Alright for an entry level carving knife. Nothing special. I had a hard time getting/keeping edge. I am an experienced woodworker.

Love the knife --- everything I thought it would be. Just wish it had come with a hard case to protect the blade.
