Tomb of pharaoh's stable master discovered in Egypt
Published on Mar 4, 2014 10:20 PM
CAIRO (AFP) - Archaeologists have discovered the nearly 3,500-year-old tomb of a royal stable master from the pharaonic era in the famed temple city of Luxor, Egypt, the government said on Tuesday.
The tomb was found by Egyptian, Italian and Spanish archaeologists while excavating another tomb on Luxor's western bank, the Egyptian ministry of antiquities said.
"The tomb belongs to an important statesman from the 18th dynasty called Maai," antiquities minister Mohamed Ibrahim said in a statement.
He said it was found when diggers made an opening in the wall of the other tomb.

Want to install Windows 8 on a locked Win 7 PC (no password)
I have just bought a second-hand acer all-in-one PC from a cash gen type shop. Unfortunately it is locked with a password.
I plan to go tomorrow as soon as the shop opens and ask for the passowrd to unlock it, hopefully that will be provided, HOWEVER they may not know and will ask for it back to be sent off etc. I don't want that as there are instructions on here for resetting the password and I will try it myself. But I don't think I really need all that hassle anyway, I have bought the Win 8 Pro upgrade DVD and I always intended to upgrade to that anyway. My question is this: if I go to BIOS and set the boot to the optical drive and boot from the Windows 8 disk, will I be able to do the Windows installation (a clean one to get rid of all the Acer games and stuff that I think is on there) or will it ask for the password that is currently stopping me from getting into Win 7 during the initial phase of the upgrade?

I'm not clear from your post whether it's a Window password or a BIOS one.
If it's a Windows password, I believe that it shouldn't affect your ability to clean-install a new OS. (You'd boot from the OS DVD or equivalent.) If it's a BIOS password, that could be a lot more troublesome. That can usually be cleared on a desktop PC by clearing the CMOS (also known as reseting the RTC), but on laptops, that generally does not work. (Anti-theft.) I'm not familiar with all-in-ones, but I have the impression that they use laptop components in a different package. Good luck. |

Why not just reinstall Windows 7 ? Does it have an activation key on the bottom of the laptop. Install the same version that originally came with the pc. This is your best option as you will hate Windows 8.
Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 Well - Im new to this forum so i don't want to be speaking out of turn, but I have tried Win 8 and am very impressed with it. Plus this new PC has a touch-screen so will be ideal for the new op system. Nic P.S. The reason I'm impressed? Well I put Windows 8 on an old Acer laptop (Celeron chip 1Gb) its my development machine that I use to try new stuff with mostly Linux. Windows 8 just runs so smoothly and the boot time is soooo quick. I added a 3rd party START menu because I need time to readjust to no start menu, but apart from that it is v. good - its no Vista! |

You should be able to boot the Win8 DVD to install. It will ask for the 8 Product Key up front so you'll know if there are any issues with it seeing the underlying qualifying OS before committing to the install. There may be a more definitive answer over at Windows 8 Forums Installation section.
Otherwise you can boot into Acer Recovery to run Factory Recovery, then run the Win8 Upgrade from its desktop, even install it as a Dual boot: Dual Boot Installation - Windows 8 and Windows 7 or Vista - Windows 8 Forums Is there a WIn7 COA sticker on the PC with readable Product Key? I would back it up now in case you ever want to get the superior Clean Reinstall of Win7. |

Thanks for all your help... I took the easy option, set BIOS to boot from the DVD and installed Win 8 from the disc without any problems (can I now just delete the folder windows.old that has appeared?)
I realise it is probably wrong to say this on here - but I do like Windows 8, I had tried it on an old computer and it really brought it back to life, but this Acer is touch-screen so its really good on here. One disappointment, I wanted to test the Blu-ray drive (I'm trying to check everything as it is second-hand) I put Avatar in, but how do I watch it? I have updated the movie app, but that seems to just be for .avi files and downloads - not Blu-ray discs. Any additional help much appreciated. Nic PS. I was hoping my registration for this forum would enable me to post threads on eightforums, but that is not the case? Why? |

CONWAY, Ark. (KTHV) - If you happen to walk, jog or bike, you may need to watch out the next time you leave your car to work out. The Conway Police Department continues to get reports of car break-ins in parking lots near the Tucker Creek Trail.
Two break-ins happened days apart, and the thieves took cash and debit cards and a gun that was left behind in one of the cars. Police told THV it is where the keys were that made these break-ins a piece of cake for criminals.
Once Deidra Maltbia locks her car, she wishes she could forget about it, but because of recent car break-ins in the parking lots near the Tucker Creek Trail, she cannot.
"I do not leave anything in my car," said Maltbia. "I do not trust anybody."
She also takes her keys with her. Other runners now holding on tight too.
CONWAY, Ark. (AP) - Voters in Conway have approved a plan to rededicate and extend a sales tax to support the redevelopment of the city's former airport into a shopping and restaurant area.
Voters on Tuesday easily approved the measure, which authorizes the city to rededicate an existing 1/8th percent sales tax. The tax will allow the issuance of about $21 million in municipal bonds that will support infrastructure for the planned Central Landing center.
The tax had been set to expire in 2021 but is now extended until 2045.
Plans for the Central Landing project include a department store, shops, restaurants and residential housing. The project is to be built at the site of the city's former airport, which is being replaced by a new airport that recently opened.

This Unit studies 'proteins'. Starting with a simple analysis of the molecular make up, the Unit moves on to look at the importance of protein and how they are digested and absorbed
After studying this unit you should know:
- that the human body, and everything else, is made up of atoms and that there are about 26 different sorts of atom in the human body, combined into numerous different sorts of molecules.
- that amino acids contain carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen atoms, some contain an atom of sulphur and that there are about 20 different amino acids, with different side-chains (R groups).
- Amino acids are linked via peptide bonds to make polypeptides and proteins.
- that each protein molecule can be hundreds of amino acids long and the amino acids must be joined in a precise order, which is specified by a code in the DNA in the chromosomes.
- the side-chains (R groups) of the amino acids can interact with one another to fold the protein into a particular shape which is essential for the protein to function correctly.
- when protein food is eaten, the amino acids are released by the activity of peptidase enzymes during digestion. The amino acids are then absorbed into the blood and used to build up the body's own proteins.
- the amount of protein needed in a balanced diet differs according to age and gender. Insufficient or excess protein in the diet can cause health problems.

My buddy got me a pretty nice bottle of scotch... gotta compliment the smoothness and taste.
Any other scotch fans?
Not a fan of it neat, but I loves me some Dewars-and-soda.
The widow is gathering nettles for her children's dinner; a perfumed seigneur, delicately lounging in the Oeil de Boeuf, hath an alchemy whereby he will extract the third nettle and call it rent. ~ Carlyle
What'd he get you?
Are you a pure scotch drinker, or are you a blend drinker?
Name your taste.
For me, I'm a huge Johnnie Walker Blue fan, but also appreciate the Green and Gold varieties.
I also definitely enjoy Macallan, preferably 18 year or older, and particularly with Highland water (the choice way to serve @ Nicholson's across from the Aronoff)
Every now and then, I'll sip some Talisker, and ironically the 10 year isn't bad, but obviously the older the better, as with most scotches.
So yeah, that's a little sampling of the scotch I consume on a semi-regular basis.
I toured several distilleries in the Highlands last year. When I asked one of the distillers where they got their water from, he giggled and said, "it is from the stream next to the parking lot." So, if you truly purchased Highland still, you are probably getting the runoff from someone's diesel engine.
I brought back bottles of Mortlach and Longmorn-Glenlivet from Scotland, both of which are great scotches that you can't buy stateside. I enjoy nearly all Speyside single malts, and I tend to stay away from the Islays and peatier scotches (Oban, Talisker, etc.). I have had a few cask-strength scotches (~60% alcohol), and I can't say I enjoyed them much. I guess I don't have the intestinal fortitude to handle those spirits.
For Macallan lovers, the distillery replicates a vintage 1930s Macallan that is out of this world (500mL bottle). You should be able to get it here in the states.
it's a 12 year old Dalmore.
I'm a relative noob when it comes to scotches... he said this was a good one to start out with.
He told me he'd kick my ass if I drank it any way other than neat! LOL
uisge beatha. Single malts. One of the joys of being alive. Currently have Balvenie 12 yr and 15 yr and Lagavulin in the liquor cabinet.
Scotch! Scotch! Scotch! I love Scotch. It tastes so good. Into my belly.
Johnnie Walker Red and Blue.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
We enjoy J&B. I wouldn't mind an aged scotch, but the husband is cheap, and the longest a new bottle has aged in this house, is a month:all_cohol :
Scotch??? Scotch???
....Pabst Blue Ribbon!

Hurry Don't Miss Out, Sale Ends Wednesday At Midnight!
Get A Head Start
The heights we list are after we prune your tree. Many Nurseries advertise heights before they prune, then cut off several feet before shipping. While this reduces their shipping cost, it gives their customer a shorter tree than they bargained for. The tree will likely need an extra year to grow back and to produce fruit. We prune your tree throughout its life. This process takes us longer, but gives you more branches and quicker production. Plus, we don't include the pot or root length in our measurements. This gives you an extra 1-2 ft. in tree size. Our larger trees are usually one to two years older than our smaller ones and will typically give you results the first full season.
Get your new plants off to the right start by using DIEHARD™ Transplant. This soil amendment contains 16 strains of mycorrhizal fungi, biostimulants, beneficial bacteria and Horta-Sorb® water management gel.
Simply sprinkle the product into the planting hole adjacent to the root ball when planting.
The organisms will start to work right away supplying the roots with much need nutrition.
The specially formulated Horta-Sorb® will reduce transplant stress and aid in water retention.

Our Grafted Avocados Produce up to 7 Years Sooner than Seed Grown trees.. We take a hardy avocado root stock and graft on a cutting from a mature avocado tree, proven to produce delicious fruit. So your tree thinks it's grown up and starts making fruit. This is the same process used for commercial orchards, but is not always used for the home market. Add a unique look to your patio or sunroom with the Hass Avocado. Outdoors this fruit-bearing tree will reach heights of 15 to 20 feet and a width of 5 to 8 feet at full maturity. In a container it will reach between 5 and 7 feet in height, allowing you to easily pick your avocado fruit in late summer. The Hass is a cold-hardy down to 26 F. once established, making it suitable for climate zones 9-11. However the Hass Avocado thrives indoors for all zones, 4-11. It performs well in full to partial sunlight and is a self-pollinator so you only need one tree to produce a hearty harvest. A second pollinator will increase the harvest for each tree. Many customers pollinate their Haas with our Cold Hardy Avocado Tree. The Hass Avocado has dark green, bumpy skin which turns black as it ripens. The creamy, inner flesh is delicious in salads or guacamole. This avocado tree will not only look great on your patio but it will provide you with an abundant supply of healthy fruit. Allow your avocados to reach full maturity on the tree to ensure the richest flavored fruit. The fruit may be kept on the tree for several months after reaching maturity, but they will not soften until picked. To quickly soften your avocados after picking, place them near bananas other other ripened fruit.
Your Hass Avocado Tree will thrive in an area that receives full to partial sunlight. Although Avocado Trees prefer full sunlight they can tolerate shade. If planted indoors place your Avocado Tree by a large sunny window. Southward facing areas receive more light. Hass Avocado Trees will adapt to your natural soil even if it's sandy or heavy in clay as long as it's well draining. Make sure that the surface of the soil is dry to the touch in between waterings. Four times a year fertilize your Hass Avocado Tree with a citrus fertilizer. Once your Hass Avocado Tree blooms and starts to produce fruit, it can take about 8 months for your avocados to mature. Once their skin turns a dark green color they're ready to be harvested. They take about 7 to 10 days to ripen after being picked. When the skin on your Avocados turns a darker green to purple color they're ready to be eaten.
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Hass Avocado Tree. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
Next, separate the roots of your Hass Avocado Tree gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the plant is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Hass Avocado Tree again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each plant to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips also help to better soil structure as they decompose.
Due to cold weather in some parts of the country, we have suspended shipping to the areas that are shaded on the map below. Please view the diagram to determine if your area has been affected. This includes anyone in Growing Zones 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. If you are unsure of your growing zone, visit our Growing Zone Finder. We will resume normal shipping in the Spring. Please see the table below for your approximate ship date.

I am not a wiz in the kitchen, so I probably should not be answering this BUT, all I can say is that I have a Food Sealer and they recomend that you blanch veggies before sealing to stop the ripening process. Hope that helps! |
Veggies really should be blanched before freezing...It only takes a minute and it is worth the effort in keeping them tasting fresher........MHO.. |

Do you think that the steam feature is going to become "standard" in most ovens any time soon? Just like convection 10 years ago. I am debating whether I should get a full-size oven right now or wait till it has steam. If I am not mistaken, KitchenAid already has (or was going to have) one. I can do without a larger oven for awhile but don't want to wait for 10 years. :-) |

IMHO, it's a gimmick that will go away entirely. And convection isn't even close to being "standard". Most ranges and ovens sold are not convection models. |
I'm not saying that the convection models sell in the larger numbers, but looking at the wall oven models on AJM, there are 250 convection models and only 95 non-convection. The percentage is even higher when considering only single ovens. Convection is a fairly cheap feature, even when done right. Steam, depending on what is being implemented, is not. Steam combi ovens will not proliferate, but they will not go away either. Their cost is beyond the interest or budget of most people, and most of what they do can be done in another manner: if all you want to do is put a crust on some bread, you |
I don't think that steam combi's will become as common as convection - to make a combi you need to add a water boiler, much more intensive controls ( so you can set the amount of steam ) make the oven cavity more or less sealed ( so the steam doesn't escape ) and stainless so that it doesn't rust, and make the glass not shatter when it gets hits with condensation. On the other hand, Sharp has addressed all those issues in a countertop version 120 volt model for under $500 - I would think a regular manufacturer could make a combi steam wall oven at 240 volts at a price much more attractive than the current offerings from the high end manufacturers which are admittedly very expensive. |

People are known to purposely swerve in the road to kill them. So, just because temperatures may become more beneficial for snakes it doesn't necessarily mean we'll have a plague of snakes. We may, however, have northern expansion of ranges," he said.
Weatherhead inserted tiny transmitters that emit radio pulses into ratsnakes to track their location and behavior. In order to save battery life through the winter months while the snake was hibernating, the transmitters were designed to slow its pulse rate (not the pulse rate of the snake) as the temperature dropped. "The relationship between the change in temperature and how it affects the transistor's pulse rate is pretty precise. We learned that we could predict the temperature of the snake from the pulse rate of the transmitter," he said.
Weatherhead's team also created snake models using a piece of copper pipe filled with water and painted black with a transmitter inside it. They placed the simulated snakes in various microhabitats--under a log, up in a tree, and on bare ground. This provided representative samples of all of the places that are available to a real snake while exposed to a range of weather conditions.
"We got the weather data from standard weather stations, then developed predictive equations from the weather conditions and the model snake's body temperature under each condition," Weatherhead said. "After you've sampled the environment once, then it's just the physical relationship between those environmental factors and the inanimate snake model which very closely mimics a real snake in those same circumstances. You plug the weather data into these equations and you can tell what temperature a snake in each of those environments would be at any time," he said.
Weatherhead said that although temperature-sensitive transmitters have been available for s

Parliament to probe EFF disruption
Comment on this storyParliament - National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete is considering the suspension of Economic Freedom Fighters MPs who disrupted questions to President Jacob Zuma last Thursday.
"I have to inform the House that the matter is being referred to the Powers and Privileges Committee in terms of rule 194," Mbete told MPs at the start of proceedings in the House on Tuesday.
The committee would be tasked with probing the actions of EFF leader Julius Malema and his fellow MPs and whether this constituted contempt of the legislature.
A report with recommendations would be submitted to the Assembly as a "matter of urgency".
In addition, she would decide on whether EFF MPs should be suspended while the committee conducted its probe.
"...I'm considering the implementation of item 10 of the schedule of the rules which make provision for the suspension of members where the allegations against them are of a serious nature," said Mbete.
EFF members would be given an opportunity to provide Mbete with written reasons why they should not be suspended.

Well, it seems I may have been too hasty in jumping on the 'omgblizzardgmsaretehsuckzorz" bandwagon last week. Merely a handful of hours after logging back on to my World of Warcraft account and submitting a GM ticket after reformatting my PC, not only had my deleted characters been restored, but all of their gold and items had been recovered.
Colour me chuffed.
I was correct in my suspicions, and whoever had managed to compromise my account had indeed stripped and deleted two of my level 70 characters. The last time I had logged on, I had three characters at level 70; a Horde Druid and Priest and an Alliance Warrior. On checking the Armoury, both the Priest and Warrior were missing, and the Druid was naked – which, as I'm sure any other Tauren player can attest, is rarely a good look.
Now, as much as I deplore it, I can understand the concept of hacking a person's account in order to sell their gear, then pass that money along via a Goldseller – that's simply business, but I don't understand why you would delete a character completely – while the first is an undeniably rotten thing to do to a person, it's generally something that can be recovered from, or (in the worst-case scenario) rebuilt. New gear can be acquired, gold can be earned once again, and if your guild happens to be chock-full of good folk like mine, you'll maybe get some help along the way.Still, while I realise how ridiculously lucky I've been in having everything I lost returned to me in the space of two or three hours; instead of putting the incident behind me and carrying on, I find myself mulling over what might have been.
My guildies totally stepped up to the plate for me, and inundated me with offers of help, so I wouldn't have had to start completely from scratch, but I wonder what it would have been like – indeed, some strange, masochistic part of me wishes that none of my stuff had been recovered, and that I did have to start over, with or without help.
Lots of players have alt-itis, and seem chronically unable to focus on one character at a time (there's an idea for a medical study – ADD and its comparisons in the MMO-verse) but I'm thinking that this is something different – a desire to wipe the slate clean completely and rebuild from the ground up. Maybe it's because I'm from the scorched-earth school of PC repair, where nothing less than a full reformat and perfect reinstall will leave me feeling satisfied and I'm just a little strange, but I imagine that there's something in this; while it's a completely understandable reaction to call quits and cancel one's account if a compromised account can't be recovered to its previous state, what does it take to carry on regardless?
I asked last week for readers to share stories of times you had found yourselves in a similar situation, this week I'd like the opposite – clearly I've been lucky this time around, but what happens when things go the other way? Have you been hacked but failed to get your account back to the way it was? What did you do – did you start over, or just give up? Hit the comments, and let us know.

Though thankfully I've never been hacked, I've wondered a lot about this too. From all the hacked account stories I've read it seems as though there is only 1 character left on the account (of course I may just be an idiot and be imagining this). If this is done to cause grief then why leave the one? I hope someone can enlighten me on this.
Posted: Jun 27th 2008 9:12AM (Unverified) said
if my characters were deleted and unrecoverable I would probably start over on a fresh server. I have done it in the past to play with a friend and would do it again. I would really hate to loose my NE Hunter that I've had since day 1 a few years ago, but I wouldnt quit playing.

Interesting your story about getting hacked and restored is right above another story about blizzard selling a new hardware device to prevent account hacking....Coincidence or CONSPIRACY!
Posted: Jul 1st 2008 3:23PM (Unverified) said
I was actually hacked this last February and the person used my level 70 to run an exploit in SLab for hours. I was able to sign onto my husband's account and yell at the person on my toon. I was not nice. Neither was my guild every time I signed on until I was able to get my account password changed (there was an error and I had to wait for PST from EST to get Blizzard on the phone x.x) I eventually got 1/2 my stuff back over 8 toons but it took several days to hear anything back from the GMs. I was so depressed I would sign into the game and I actually made my mage learn fishing.
However, I did have a friend lose his entire account because of activity that happened on his account due to a hack. He lost 5 level 70s. After being gone for a month and deciding he wasn't going to stick with AoC he's made it to lvl 60 on his new toon in less than 4.5 days played.
I think if I had to start over.. i would have waited it out but I would have come back to.

1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon (fame due to the name of the Lord), she came to test him with hard questions. | 1 When the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon and his relation to the name of the LORD, she came to test him with hard questions. |
2 She came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue, with camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she told him all that was on her mind. | 2 Arriving at Jerusalem with a very great caravan--with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones--she came to Solomon and talked with him about all that she had on her mind. |
3 Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing hidden from the king that he could not explain to her. | 3 Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for the king to explain to her. |
4 When the queen of Sheba had observed all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, | 4 When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon and the palace he had built, |
5 the food of his table, the seating of his officials, and the attendance of his servants, their clothing, his valets, and his burnt offerings that he offered at the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her. | 5 the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he made at the temple of the LORD, she was overwhelmed. |
6 So she said to the king, "The report was true that I heard in my own land of your accomplishments and of your wisdom, | 6 She said to the king, "The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true. |
7 but I did not believe the reports until I came and my own eyes had seen it. Not even half had been told me; your wisdom and prosperity far surpass the report that I had heard. | 7 But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told me; in wisdom and wealth you have far exceeded the report I heard. |
8 Happy are your wives! Happy are these your servants, who continually attend you and hear your wisdom! | 8 How happy your men must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom! |

Could There Be A Justin Timberlake And Taylor Swift Collab In The Works?
Theres a couple of things in life that are just better together. Peanut butter and jelly. Zayn and Perrie. Another one that wed suggest would be Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake, don't you think?
That might sound like a bit of a random combo, but JT has been hinting all over that a collaboration might be a possibility for him and Taylor, which quite frankly sounds like the best thing ever!
It's not exactly set in stone at the moment, but it sounds like Justin would enjoy returning to the country-music roots he was into as a boy with a bit of help from TayTay, but heading behind the scenes rather than the microphone.
Talking to The Tennessean, Justin revealed: "I've been doing what Im doing now for a long time. There might be another calling for me out there. And, it might be being a part of music in this way as a communicator and a teacher and a guide.
Justin went on to talk about Taylor, predicting, Shell get her day in the sun when shes ready to move the needle.
I was in a group that was bigger than bubble gum... Its almost like, with anything, when you do settle into adulthood is when people respect you in a different way. But, theres no question in my mind that thats where shes going, if she so chooses.
He also added, For me I am sort of the oracle of the idea, and Im also the communicator of it.
What do you think of the possiblity of a Taylor and Justin collab? Tell us in the comments!

RPR or HRH?
I've searched the internet and old threads and am still not coming up with a clear winner. So, I figured I'd explain our specific family/needs and see if y'all could help me out.
The original plan was RPR. We've stayed there three times. We like it. It's the cheapest one. Then hubby brought up that he might want to try out HRH since we've never stayed there and it's a little closer. The transportation was super easy at RPR, so that's not a selling point for me, but I told hubby he could do HRH if he really wanted to. He's on the fence though since I'm not pushing for it. It will be $19 extra a day, and we're doing 5 nights so over $100 when the extra taxes are figured in on the higher price. We're a family of 5, with two adults and three kids. The kids are 10, 7, and 4. I noticed both hotels have queen beds, so we'll be fine. We're going to start out off-site for 3 nights at a hotel where we have plenty of room to stretch out, so it will be a switch but we would rather be cramped than spend a lot more. I read one review that said that though HRH rooms are a little larger, that it's not noticeable. We have 7 day 2-park passes so we figure we'll spend more time at the hotel than usual. We've never done IOA/US for more than 2 days before so it will be nice to take our time. We'll only be doing IOA/US during the stay at that hotel. (We have a day at Legoland while at the other hotel). We're going in the off-season so the parks will probably close by 6pm. Crowds/noise are one concern I have. I read that HRH is the first to sell out. So I wondered if this meant the pool area would be more crowded, even in Nov. I also wondered how loud the pool music was. Can you talk over it very easily? How about the halls - does having an older group of kids/teens at the hotel make it louder? Or should that not be an issue in Nov? (We're going right before T-giving week so ideally, many kids will be in school). Last edited by kohlby; 06-17-2013 at 06:29 PM. Reason: Kids distracted me into the math wrong - It's $100 not $80 more total |

i believe it has 650 rooms so it does sell out before the other two hotels. they have more rooms. i have stayed many times at hrh (22). the pool music is loud at times, but it does not interfer with conversing with anyone. going the week prior to Tday is not going to be crowded. hopefully the weather will be fine so you can spend days at the pool. it would be horrible if the weather is not swimming weather and you decide on a hotel due to the pool. i never chose a hotel for the pool. pool hopping is allowed for the onsite hotels. towels are provided at each pool so you don't have to tote any with you if you hop. pull up the www.universalorlando.com and go to the hotel section. you can compare the lay out of the rooms at rph vs hrh. maybe that will help if you visualize the difference of the rooms. i stay at rph all the time now. i like it that it is larger, great lobby to spend time at to read, relax, etc besides the room. there are 4 places on site at rph to eat, which is a plus for me. just because i have a favorite hotel doesn't mean it is the best for others. we all get a fondness for a hotel for different reasons. the Palms at hrh is nice but pricey. the Kitchen has a great breakfast buffet and really nice dinner menu. they do have E & B for ice cream, snacks, etc. if you stay at hrh, those are the choices for food. it is all a personal choice. try the hrh and see how you like it. it might be the place you love. there have been times when i stayed at hrh i did hear voices from the hallway. mainly on the days i decided to sleep in and everyone else were up early for hitting the parks prior to the opening. you can have that happen at any hotel.
life is what happens to you on your way to achieving your dreams...........

Thank you for your response. We tend not to do much eating at the hotel. We bring in food from home for breakfast. Dinner may be at the parks or off-site, like Sweet Tomatoes. We will have a car, so even stopping at Publix for a rotisserie chicken and some fruit works for dinner for us.
In the past, we wouldn't have considered the pool for which hotel. But since we'll have more time, it does play a part, though not the only factor. If one hotel was too loud compared to the other from the hours of 8pm-7am, then there would be a clear winner. We're fine with noise during the day, as we don't have nappers nor anyone who sleeps in. With the exception of rain, I would think that week would be plenty warm enough. We've had several Orlando trips and only one was too cold for the pool. (End of Jan during a record cold winter in 2010. Even then, we did swim twice, though I wouldn't call it pleasant). I realize pool hopping is allowed, but with the logistics of three kids and wanting it to feel like a vacation, we're not likely to pool hop more than once. I've seen the layouts and they're similar. So, it sounds like based on your advice, there really isn't a clear winner for my family. But trying out HRH may be worth it since we've never stayed there. I'll still welcome more opinions, especially those from people who have stayed with children. |

We've stayed at Portafino and RPR in the past. We have HRH scheduled for an upcoming trip. I booked an extralarge 2 Queen room which will have 500 square feet. At the time I booked, the cost for the larger room over the standard wasn't a big difference so we opted for the extralarge. You may want to check out all room categories available and see if the extra large room may be in your budget.
While we enjoyed the other two resorts, we're looking forward to our stay at HRH. |

What can we expect from Wall Street? More of the same.
10:53 pm in Uncategorized by Liz Berry
Cross Post from Iflizwerequeen
" The market has become more of an exclusive gambling club for the very rich than a level playing field open to the ordinary investor." -George Packer, A Dirty Business
Will another meltdown happen again? You betcha! Because little has changed.
- ". . .It is a remarkable failure of our system that we've not addressed the fundamental problems that brought us into the financial crisis. And it is cynical or naïve to imagine it won't happen again." [Neil Barofsky, the former inspector general of TARP]
- "Implementation of the Dodd-Frank regulatory reform law has been slowed, if not yet sabotaged, by lobbying on the part of the big banks and a general ebbing of will among politicians." [Neil Barofsky]
The following is the concluding paragraph from George Packer's article titled "A Dirty Business" that appeared in the June 27, 2011 issue of the New Yorker. It speaks to the underlying arrogance of these Wall Street millionaires.
". . . .Two weeks after Rajaratnam was found guilty, an annual conference of hedge funds, which doubled as a fundraiser for pediatric cancer, was held in midtown Manhattan. Investors paid up to four thousand dollars to hear the views of some of the country's most famous fund managers. The outlook was upbeat; no one mentioned the recent events downtown at the federal courthouse. The speakers took turns touting their favorite stocks: Zhongpin, the Chinese pork processor; the Home Shopping Network; Tiffany's. A well-known fund manager, Michael Price, spoke up for financial stocks. "We like the big banks," Price said. "Goldman Sachs, if you have the stomach. The risk/rewards today in financials in particular are very attractive." Goldman stock, he said, is undervalued by at least a hundred dollars."These are tremendous businesses, honest people," he said. "These are not people who are trying to rip people off. . . . They have a long track record of doing extremely well for their clients as well as themselves." He went on, "In 2008, all of a sudden they didn't turn into criminals. There were some in the business who are no longer in the business, but it's not Goldman Sachs."
IFLWQ Comments regarding: "These are tremendous businesses, honest people," he said. "These are not people who are trying to rip people off. . . . They have a long track record of doing extremely well for their clients as well as themselves."
According to my ethical standards, Goldman Sachs is not honest. Specifically, they borrowed $10 billion dollars from the American Tax payers. AIG borrowed much more from the American taxpayers. They owed Goldman Sachs $12.9 billion so AIG used the taxpayer money to pay back Goldman. Goldman then "repaid" the American people the $10 billion they owed with the taxpayer money that AIG gave to them. Goldman kept the $2.9 billion and then in 2009 reported increased revenues of $3 billion. According to my math, Goldman Sachs repaid the American people with our own money and still has $2.9 billion that belongs to the American people and for the year 2009 their earnings were only $100 million–not $3billion as they reported.
Thus according to my ethics Goldman Sachs are both crooks and liars.
But they are much worse, according to my ethics, than mere crooks and liars, they are murderers just like most of the corporations on Wall Street. Thus, since "corporations are people", I suggest they be executed–following a fair trial of course.
Every year Wall Street traders and investors murder millions of people and get away with it. Oh they don't murder with guns or knives. They murder people with their ledgers, with their computers, with their trades. What people do on Wall Street chasing their bottom line every day results in the deaths of hundreds of people all over the world every single day. Health Insurance corporations murder people like 18 year old Chanel Bunce with insurance denials for medication that she needed to live. In 2008 the traders at the Goldman Sachs commodity index drove up the price of wheat by buying and buying and not selling. This put the price of a basic commodity out of reach of millions of people in countries like Africa. In 2008, coincidentally the largest wheat production year in 100 years, when wheat should have been the cheapest, millions more than normal that year starved to death. At the end of the year, the surplus wheat was sold to corporate agribusinesses for animal feed.
This inhuman institution we call "Wall Street" is a system that needs to be razed to the ground. We need to replace it with a financial system that works for the majority, not just the upper 5%.
Cosmetic changes and tinkering done by a Congress of 44% millionaires who profit from this corruption cannot be trusted to do what is necessary. It's called "conflict of interest."
Remove them in 2012 by voting non millionaire, non Wall Street stock holders to Congress. No Republicans and No Democrats.

I had a nerve-racking encounter several years ago on Kodiak Island.
I was hunting blacktail deer and had spotted a nice buck high up on a ridge. The day was overcast, and as I hiked up towards he buck the cloud ceiling started to lower. By the time I got on the same ridge and was getting close, the buck was in and out of the fog and moving away at an angle. I decided to try and get around him by dropping down into a shallow basin and moving in front. As I did, the fog layer dropped even more and was denser than I thought.
I was starting to push through a patch of alders when a brown bear, obviously very close, started huffing and chomping her teeth. I couldn't see her and couldn't really pinpoint where she was by the sound, but she was way too close! It's scary to be that close to a bear when you can see them, even scarier when you can't see them! She pretty much had all of my attention, I forgot all about the buck at this point.
I don't think she had me pinpointed either and she was nervous too, I could hear her breathing. I doubt that she was 50 yards away and I occasionally could hear the alders rustle and knew that there was more than one bear with me by the sounds of it.
I didn't know exactly where they were but I did know where they had not been just a couple minutes earlier, so I started retracing my path out of there the best I could. Fortunately, I made it down the hill without incident. I saw the bears the next day in the same general spot, a sow with two second-year cubs, all beautiful.
I was carrying my .300 Weatherby that trip and took several nice bucks with it. I'm glad I didn't have to shoot a bear!
Kodiak Island 2006 - Opening day of deer season after a summer of living on seafood while being a crew member for a commercial fishing outfit had my buddy and I scrambling up the mountain behind camp for some fresh red meat. The fog was intense but that was nothing new, its Kodiak! It did keep us from getting as far up the mountain as we wanted that day. Luckily, the fog and weather had also pushed down some of the bucks from their high perches. If youve ever hunted blacktails or mulies in August or September then you have a pretty good idea what it is like to hunt sheep. You cannot hunt that country if the conditions are zero, zero. We had no choice but to drop down below the clouds. Upon losing a couple hundred feet of elevation we stumbled upon a couple of young bucks bedded on an open tundra bench. The shot was just over 300 yards and with two sent bullets we had 120 odd pounds of fresh blacktail to eat with the crab, salmon, and halibut wed been living on. However, it was getting the meat back to camp that proved to be the most interesting part of the hunt. With the two bucks laying about thirty yards apart my buddy and I began quartering and deboning the animals. We were working diligently and barely talking back and forth (read mistake). Upon finishing our work my buddy went over to a small spring to wash up while I loaded his meat in his pack and was in the process of loading mine and slinging it onto my back when I heard the willows snapping about ten yards downwind of me only one thing on that island gets that close downwind of a bloody, sweaty human you guessed it and so did I. Without hesitation I grabbed my .338 Winnie and swung it to my shoulder as I stood. Staring back at me over the willows a scarce two bounds away was a very curious brown bear standing erect trying to figure out the situation. I was looking over the top of my scope at the bear ready to shift into the crosshairs and deliver death at 3000 feet per second. I began talking to the bruin hoping to identify myself as a human and not lunch. Im not sure if it was the words or the Winchester that spoke more loudly but the brownie dropped to all fours and shuffled off until he figured he had saved enough face and then bolted into the alders about fifty yards away. My buddy had heard me yelling at the bear but decided he was safer where he was and didnt even see the bear. Some friend all in all, we made six more hunts up that mountain and killed four more bucks and never even saw another bear but that is the hunt that stands out the most.
Other memorable events; walking fourteen miles into camp leading a pack string after losing a horse and rig off the top of Deer Creek Pass going into the Thorofare, falling headfirst into a ten foot pit while guiding a party of fly-fisherwomen on a mountain stream, stepping on a very pleasantly dispositioned rattler while guiding more fly-fishers I wonder what comes next?
Dang it AK, you beat me to it!
