breathtaking view, fluffy bed, cleanliness
parking fee, distance between rooms and lobby
Spa not open Gym not open Valet never at post No bell help Room service out to lunch Broken promises
Location to beach, paddleboarding, kayaking, pool.
Restaurant offered limited faire. Pool bar closed at 7pm but pool was open til 10?
Great place, beautiful beach and view.
Totally under staffed for the holiday weekend. Menu at restaurant was very limited.
The staff were were helpful, clean, location and perfect ocean overview.
No lefts were available.
The only thing we liked was the view and location, other than that the service was ok.
We booked 2 rooms with the same price and they gave us 2 different rooms one of them had a small non renovated bathroom and it was not comfortable at all.
Approximity to most attractions. They took off the parking charges. The bill boy was very cooperative.
Slow room service and did not provide all amenities like bathroom slippers.
I loved the staffs willingness to please especially, the greatest hostess in the world Jessica took care of or every need poolside,, from advice on activities to address'. Such a lovely person really made us feel like family on vacation and we were important to Her. Plus one of the best fish tacos in all of San Diego.
Key Cards for pool towels. I noticed a few locals were using the pool, which in itself was not a problem, very quite and clean and always plenty of room. But need to find A better way for towels to be issued
The bar & lobby were very nicely done and comfortable and in no way representative of the rooms, which were shabby and extremely overpriced .I would not stay here again.
the room was terrible, lumpy bed, no curtain on window only sheers with people crossing in back of window . wifi didn't work in all areas of the room. Bathroom paint was peeling, no window. lighting was harsh. Terrible room. Night receptionist was rude and unhelpful.
Kona Kai had a very relaxing atmosphere. I can confidently say you have truly embraced the name of your Tropical Paradise.
I was disappointed with the lack of "toys, kayaks, bikes, beach chair rentals and umbrellas. Your bar could be better stocked.
The Valet.
Poor view from room. Poor parking. No coffee in room. No cream or sugar in room. Staff, for the most part was rude.
The location is magnificent - the view over San Diego skyline is great and the marina right next to our room made wakening up a pleasure. The hotel is stylish and posh yet with a comfortable vibe and a very good atmosphere, which I believe has a lot to do with how the hotel is build in low buildings.
There is nothing to complain about! Great hotel.
Good location, affordable rates, pool and jacuzzi, good food, mostly courteous staff, fire pits, movie screening, overall good experience.
No microwave, inconsistent training to the staff, found insects in the room, empty vending machine, $17/day parking, Restaurant closing at 9 pm, and abysmally slow wifi. All minor things that could be fixed easily.
Loved the location and the view from our room.
The restaurant and pool were closed during renovations, did not see this on the site from which I booked.
Huge bed! Comfortable. Good bathroom.
Some building have no external identification which makes finding them difficult. Spider in the room. Lack of a list of amenities and locations, did not find the refrigerator until morning we were departing.
Peace and quiet...Staff always friendly and accomadating
Key cards demagnetizing a few times during stay
Not much... The staff did respond well when I told them I wouldn't spend another night in my room due to construction noise starting at 6 AM... The Manager's beer and wine reception at 5 PM was nice...
No mention of "renovation project" when I booked... Arrived to find the pool closed - in San Diego? In June? Seriously? Also the restaurant was closed... Awoke my first morning at 6 AM to the sound of construction crews... Review your bill! Mine looked very high and I discovered they double-billed me for "resort fees" - this at a hotel with no pool or restaurant! Plan on high taxes and fees - my $159 per night room totaled out to $213 per night - $54 per night in additional charges... Very slow WiFi...
The room was nice
The creepy guy who skate boarded past our bay door asking for drugs not once but five times! The fact that they were out of many items on the room service menu. The fact that my reservation was screwed up and booked for the wrong day so we had to spend more money only to find out that the entire facility was under renovation, so no pool, no spa, no restaurant or bar anymore! Nothing was as advertised not was it worth $320 a night... We came here to celebrate our two year anniversary... I would have rather saved my money and layed by my pool at home! When a "Resort and Spa" is under renovation, you guys should make the public aware before you let them book a stay! The old bait and switch routine is old and not a very customer centric business model nor does it bode well for your site nor the image of the hotel...
Friendliness of staff and location of marina
pool was being redone
Location, cleanliness and complementary beer and wine for and hour.
We were charged a "resort fee" while the out door pool area was under construction. A little disappointed about that.
The location was great and the room was gorgeous
No microwave

The generalized continuum hypothesis revisited

Get AccessAbstract
We can reformulate the generalized continuum problem as: for regular κ<λ we have λ to the power κ is λ, We argue that the reasonable reformulation of the generalized continuum hypothesis, considering the known independence results, is "for most pairs κ<λ of regular cardinals, λ to the revised power of κ is equal to λ". What is the revised power? λ to the revised power of κ is the minimal cardinality of a family of subsets of λ each of cardinality κ such that any other subset of λ of cardinality κ is included in the union of strictly less than κ members of the family. We still have to say what "for most" means. The interpretation we choose is: for every λ, for every large enoughK < ℶ w . Under this reinterpretation, we prove the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis.

We always act on some mixture of facts and beliefs. It's just a question of how rich the mixture is with facts.
Life being the way it is, though, there is probably no issue that doesn't involve some element of belief because just thinking that we have all of the facts in a given case is itself a belief that is a part of the fact-belief mixture.
But as convoluted as the issue can become, there are commonsense rules to apply -- a prime one being that the more fundamental the…

Ok, so of course I have to start off with why I became a christian in the first place. I was 'saved' when i was 14 at the end of June, right before my first year of high school. During my 6th and 7th grade years, I became very depressed. I had no true interest in life and in was due largely to the fact that I had no plans for my life. I didn't know what I wanted, and basically let everybody else, but myself, make my choices.

This is the official trailer for the movie that is hitting the theaters in October. The day (I heard) is October 1st. I am hoping people go see it. Wait, what am I thinking? Of course they will.
Nas: Time Is Illmatic (trailer)
Categories: documentary, hip hop, Movies, Music, Video
Tags: Nas, Time Is Illmatic
Discuss: There are no comments, add your take.
Following last week's opening of the World Champions Space, things officially kicked-off with an ALIFE Sessions event to celebrate the launch. Done in partnership with Puma® and Budweiser, the latest Sessions featured the Toronto-based trio, BADBADNOTGOOD, and Wu-Tang Clan member, Ghostface Killah.
Soon after the match ended, BADBADNOTGOOD set things off, performing their unique blend of Jazz-flavored tracks such as "Triangle," "Can't Leave The Night," and "Kaleidoscope," to name a few. Following a quick talk break, BBNG casually introduced an alternative style to a familiar song, prompting Ghostface to hit the stage, breaking into his classic, "Run." Heads nodded instantaneously, as the amped up crowd shouted almost every one of his rhymes verbatim.
Following a few other tracks Ghost went into some classic banter; shouting out the Spurs for winning the NBA Finals, talking about Bron-Bron not being official because he joined a team of winners and how he should have come to New York, and getting acquainted with the neighbors who were watching from their windows and balconies.
Matt Tavares of BBNG began to tease the crowd by playing the melody of "C.R.E.A.M." on his Prophet vintage synth, causing Ghost lead the chant, "cash rules everything around me, CREAM, get the money, dollar dollar bill y'all!" Ghostdini finished his set with verses from "Shimmy Shimmy Ya," and "Shame on a Nigga," paying tribute to the late, great Ol' Dirty Bastard.
Although Ghostface and BBNG have worked together in the past, this marked the first time that the two groups have ever performed together. We're proud to help further that connection and bring the experience to our friends, and friends of friends.

You Must Learn – Episode 1 – Jeru The Damaja – The Sun Rises In The East
The word anniversary once referred to the commemorative feast in honor of a Catholic saint. Today we use the term for a celebration of any past event that took place the year or years prior on the same date.
This year in particular marks the 20th Anniversary of a hip-hop record distinguished by its raw sound, uncompromising lyricism, and social commentary: Jeru the Damaja's debut album, The Sun Rises In The East. 1994 was a powerful, transformative year for hip-hop. Nas, OutKast, and Biggie Smalls each dropped their debut albums, while other more established artists released projects regarded both then and now as milestones in the genre. Jeru was only 21 years old when he recorded the The Sun Rises; 22 when it came out on Payday Records. And the album was well received in the hip-hop community.
What you're about to hear is Jeru the Damaja taking us track by track through his DJ Premier-produced debut album, delving into an array of subjects and stories such as:
- Waiting and watching for Nas to create Illmatic.
- Spending formative years with the members of the Wu-Tang Clan.
- The nature of Brooklyn pride.
- His inspiration drawn from his family, friends, and predecessors.
- And the story of how he got his pet hamster.
This is "You Must Learn."
"You Must Learn" was produced and edited by Peter Oasis, written by Dharmic X, and executive produced by Evan Auerbach (of @UpNorthTrips), with narration from Soul Khan. The intro was produced by DJ Flipout, and the artwork was designed by Kelly Green. Special thanks to Sarah Honda for the love.
"You Must Learn" was recorded in your mother's basement next to your favorite blogger somewhere in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.

Mike Philson – Everything I Wanna Be (Killa Season Meets Gen-Y)
Michael Anderson a/k/a Mike Philson is the poster-child for achieving the impossible, receiving an Ivy League education. Graduating from Harvard in 2008, Mike had entered the world of commodity stock trading. During his time on Wall Street, he had come to the actualization that Wall Street wasn't for him. He woke up one day and knew he had to make an impact on the future leaders of tomorrow, referred to as our youth.
Teaming up with President Obama as well as Civil Rights leaders in Martin Luther King's inner circle, Mike formulated an initiative of education through music.
"Everything I Wanna Be" gives you a glimpse into the brilliance that Mike possesses. There are real life trials and tribulations that he had went through after leaving Wall Street, and you can see why Mike had left Wall Street in the first place. Mike is a very gifted individual musically, as you will witness in the video, and you can witness the genius that he possesses.
We hope that you can support this project on (company). A lot of resources were used in the making of this project, shot in various locations across the country. It's definitely a message that sparks change and open-minded thinking amongst our peers and your viewership. One message to take away from Mike, is to live your own life and not the life of others.

As Tall As Lions – A Farewell Documentary (Trailer)
As Tall As Lions – A Farewell Documentary – Official Trailer from Transcend Motion Pictures on Vimeo.
As Tall As Lions should have been one of those bands that were all over the radio. I first learned of ATAL when I used to be a CMJ mark. I saw them open for Coheed and Cambria and was impressed. Normally opening acts play as background noise but ATAL had the entire Highline Ballroom glued to their performance.
I saw ATAL's every time they performed in New York. My second date with my ex girlfriend was at a ATAL show. I marked when I saw there merchandise on sale at Hot Topic. For whatever reason the band broke up and filmed a documentary. Its sad to see this band never reach that upper echelon but I'm grateful to have discovered there music at the age of 21.

Little Big Town's Kimberly Schlapman is back in the kitchen for the third season of her Great American Country cooking series, Kimberly's Simply Southern. The new season premiere date is set for Monday, April 7, at 4 p.m. ET. The premiere was originally set for Saturday, April 12, but was recently changed.
"It's so hard to believe that this will be the third season of Kimberly's Simply Southern," Kimberly noted about the show. "Season 3 is even more exciting for me because I got to film it in my new kitchen, and I was able to cook with people I've admired for a long time."
Among the guests who will be dropping by the kitchen this season are Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott, Billy Currington, Amy Grant and Keifer and Shawna Thompson of Thompson Square.
In the first episode, Kimberly visits a honey farm in Georgia, getting hands-on with some bees in the process, and learns the secrets behind one of Nashville's signature dishes: hot chicken.
Get in the kitchen with Kimberly every Monday afternoon at 4 p.m. ET for Kimberly's Simply Southern.

hey everyone,
i am starting my first hydroponics system. it will be a DWC system with 3 gallon buckets. i will be growing thai basil, jalapeno and golden habanero. i havent started the peppers yet because the seeds havent arrived in the mail. i did, however, start the basil. i put three seeds in each rockwool cube (1.5") yesterday and keep them enclosed for moisture and under a 90watt UFO LED grow light for about 16-18 hours per day. today, i just took a peek in to the hole with a flashlight and it looks like there is some white stuff around the seeds but it does not look like sprouts. anybody familiar with this? is this normal? it almost looks like mold. |
Follow-Up Postings:
if it looks like mold, it probably is. seeds don't need 16 hours of light per day. in fact many prefer to germinate in the dark. after all, they expect to be underground when germinated. also, don't keep them two wet. I'd say dispose of them and start again. basil is easy to grow. germinate 40 seeds then prune to your favorite 3 (or so) good luck. |
the rockwool is as wet as however much water it will hold. i did not squeeze any water out. the seeds started to mold within hours. maybe you could give me the proper steps to germinate with rockwool from the beginning? |
- Posted by splitsec002 z9 CA (My Page) on Thu, Jul 9, 09 at 22:34
Don't get rid of those seeds. My basil did the exact same thing. At first I thought it was the seed packet I had because all of them had that white stuff on it. Looks like mold. So I purchased a different one from another company and it did the same thing. They took longer to germinate than other seeds but all of them germinated and are growing great. I germinated mine in rockwool in a greenhouse full of light so that wouldn't be a problem either. |
Right, just leave those seeds alone and do not get rid of them! Basil (Thai) seeds have some kind of natural coating, that looks kinda wired when becoming sodden. It's gelatinous and doesn't actually look like mold to me, but I bet there could be confusion. Normally basil seeds germinate quickly, 4-6 days and they should open and sprout. I feed them with 0.5 EC from the beginning. After a week going up to 0.7, followed by 0.9 just before transplant. This strategy works fine under tropical and outdoor conditions, - it doesn't mean though, that it will be the best feeding strategy elsewhere. Btw: I mostly germinate basil in synthetic sponge 1. with coco fibre filling 2. just sponge ->
thanks for the info. i will leave them alone and see how it goes. |
I never had much success at germinating in rockwool. Best success with basil I had was following this procedure: - Soak seeds 24 hours in water, some gooey thing surrounds the seeds, which I assume is the seeds activating with water The only trick on this setup: watch the temperature. Over 80F, they rot easily, under 70F they are slow to germinate. 25C ideal. Another thing I learned, use a clear dome under flourescent but cool the dome with a fan. The heat from the flourescent, even though it is low, it is enough to raise the temperature on the rockwool and induce root rot in no time. This is so far the best I could achieve with basil. |
mfilippa, thanks for the tips but that is just way too complicated for me to deal with when im only germinating seeds. mother nature isnt even that accurate. lol. i have mine sitting in a tray covered with a cd spindle clear cover to retain humidity and that sits inside my grow tent. i took a look in the hole of the rockwool with a flashlight and i can see little green sprouts. :) yay! i attached a pic of my tent. the pot in the middle is my naga jolokia in soil and the thing on the stool right next to it is my germinating seeds. |
Here is a link that might be useful: pic
I'm a relative newbee, but I have germinated a variety of vegetables in rockwool, e.g., tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, doing nothing special, with no problems. My last batch of lettuce, three varieties, germinated in about three days. |
- Posted by Outdoor_Hydro none (My Page) on Tue, May 8, 12 at 14:14
Hi all, I am about to start germinating some basil seeds in rockwool cubes and had some questions. 1) Should I just put 3 seeds in there, then wet the cubes until they are mois and let them sit in my little covered container until they sprout? 2) Do I need to soak them first? 3) At what point are they ready to transpant into my hydroponic system? 4)Are people feeding them nutrients, tap water, or RO water, PH adjusted water (If so, what PH)? I have an RO filter, should I use RO water that is PH corrected to 6.0? Should I add a drop or two of nutrient to the water first? Thanks all! |
Hello Outdoor_Hydro, 1) Should I just put 3 seeds in there, then wet the cubes until they are mois and let them sit in my little covered container until they sprout? 2) Do I need to soak them first? 3) At what point are they ready to transplant into my hydroponic system? 4)Are people feeding them nutrients, tap water, or RO water, PH adjusted water (If so, what PH)? I have an RO filter, should I use RO water that is PH corrected to 6.0? Should I add a drop or two of nutrient to the water first? |
P.S. Be careful to not let the rockwool become saturated (or any growing media), or you will suffocate the plants roots. Especially important for sprouts. |
If you have fungus, it can be controlled by hydrogen peroxide 500-1000 ppm in your water. |

The Last Desert | Antarctica | 16 Nov 2014 |
Sahara Race | Jordan | 8 Mar 2015 |
Gobi March | China | 31 May 2015 |
RacingThePlanet: Ecuador |
Ecuador | 26 Jul 2015 |
Atacama Crossing | Chile | 4 Oct 2015 |
RacingThePlanet was founded in February 2002 in Hong Kong by American Mary Gadams, a former investment banker and strategist, who has completed more than 50 marathons, ultramarathons and wilderness competitions around the world. The first event under the RacingThePlanet banner was held in September 2003, near Dunhuang, China, and called the Gobi March. This inaugural event introduced trail running races to the expansive Asian country. Less than a year later, in July 2004, the Atacama Crossing was held in Chile, followed by the first Sahara Race in Egypt in September 2005. The Last Desert in Antarctica was inaugurated in January 2006. These events required competitors to traverse 250 kilometers of rough country terrain over seven days with only a place in a tent and water provided each day. They were supported by highly qualified staff, all with experience in hiking, marathons and ultramarathons, and a medical team specializing in wilderness medicine.
The four events combined to create the annual 4 Deserts series, which is now widely recognized as the most prestigious outdoor footrace series in the world. TIME magazine ranked the 4 Deserts series as one of the Top Ten Endurance Events in the world for two consecutive years.
In February 2008, a fifth event, called the Roving Race, was added to the RacingThePlanet calendar. This event, of similar format, moved to a different location each year. The first edition, titled RacingThePlanet: Vietnam, was organized among the rice terraces of Sapa in northwest Vietnam.

History was made in the summer of 2000 when El Centro Hispano, in partnership with Self-Help Credit Union, State Employees Credit Union, and the NC Minority Support Center, opened the first Latino Community Credit Union in the state of North Carolina. This sister institution has now grown to provide much needed financial services in five cities across North Carolina.
El Centro Hispano is currently the largest grassroots Latino organization in the state. We have an active membership base of more than 600 dues paying members and additionally provide programs and services to more than 5,000 community members annually.

Can Europe's bold plan avert global recession?
A move by European nations to more closely unite their fiscal policies sent stock markets higher Friday as it raised hopes that attempts to address the continent's debt crisis won't devolve into chaos.
The agreement, while significant, isn't a one-step roadmap for ending the euro zone's debt crisis, however. And it doesn't resolve a vital question for the rest of the world: Could the challenges in Europe result in a global recession next year?
The core challenge for the U.S., as well as Europe, is how to grow while households and governments are basically in retrenchment mode — tempering their spending after years of fast-rising debt.
For now, many economists are forecasting tepid growth globally, but with recession in Europe and some significant uncertainty elsewhere.
"We project that the global expansion will continue, albeit at a below-average pace," economists at Wells Fargo write in an outlook released this week. But they add that this forecast hinges on no deepening of troubles in the euro zone, "and the probability of another global financial crisis that emanates this time from Europe is not insignificant."
In the accord reached Friday, most European Union nations pledged to work toward a new EU treaty to demand greater fiscal discipline. Nations would face penalties for running up deficits.
The deal also provides for an expanded bailout fund for member nations such as Ireland that have faced investor doubts about their solvency.
In the short run, one key result of the deal is simply to keep hope alive that the debt problems can be addressed in an orderly way. It suggests that the European Central Bank (ECB) will provide a backstop to prevent a panic over whether high-debt nations like Italy might have to default, which would be a catastrophe for the private-sector banks that hold their debts.
"The main purpose of this deal is to ensure that the ECB will be given the comfort it requires" to offer such aid, Willem Buiter, chief economist at Citigroup, wrote last week. But he predicted that ECB support will not be open-ended and "will be revealed one intervention at a time, over a period of months — possibly years."
Although most EU members appear ready to adopt the closer economic union, Britain refused to sign on and could become less important a player within the EU as a result. (Although it's part of the EU, Britain has retained its own currency rather than adopt the euro.)
Even with the deal, Europe's predicament has dampened the outlook for the world economy.
The forecasters at Wells Fargo call for world economic growth of 3.2 percent next year (a bit slower than this year's pace), with 2 percent gains in the U.S., 5.3 percent on average in developing nations, and a 0.1 percent decline in output for the nations within euro currency union.
That pace is slow when you consider population growth, which tends to push gross domestic product (GDP) higher each year.
But the good news would be that global growth is better than global recession. A disorderly outcome in Europe, for example, could have sent shock waves through the financial system worldwide, slowing growth in the U.S.
Although Europe is the weakest part of the world economy, not much strength is visible elsewhere.
A global index of manufacturing activity, tracked by J.P. Morgan and Markit, has dipped below 50 in recent months (any reading below 50 suggests contraction, rather than expansion), with weakness seen in Asia and Latin America as well as Europe.
Some economists, including Gary Shilling, who heads a forecasting firm in Springfield, N.J., say global recession remains a significant risk for 2012.
Mark Trumbull writes for the Christian Science Monitor.

Inpatient Rehabilitation Program
Inpatient rehabilitation focuses on a broad range of diagnoses ranging from neurological dysfunctions such as strokes, head trauma, and spinal cord injuries to orthopedic dysfunctions such as arthritis and multiple trauma. The goal of treatment on the rehabilitation unit is "the physical restoration of a sick or disabled person by therapeutic measures and re-education to participation in the activities of a normal life within the limitations of his/her physical disability" (Gove, 1971).
A physiatrist, or doctor of physical medicine and rehabilitation, directs the care provided. The interdisciplinary team meets weekly to coordinate care and to tailor the rehabilitation program to the specific needs of the patient and his or her family. The patient and family are expected to be intricately involved in the rehabilitation program. Family and patient education is a crucial aspect of rehabilitation and is aimed at facilitating independent function and management of the residual disability. Families are encouraged to accompany their family member to therapy where individualized education takes place. Family conferences are also planned to maximize the opportunities for learning and to promote a smooth discharge for the patient and family.
These services are provided on a dedicated unit within Memorial Hospital. Patients are admitted to this unit specifically for rehabilitation, after the completion of a pre-admission assessment required by Medicare.
2013 Inpatient Rehabilitation Statistics
- A total of 223 inpatients were treated
- The average age of all patients was 62 years
- 57% of patients were male, 43% of patients were female
