AMAZING! I was so skeptical about a $20 sponge, but was looking for a new way to apply foundation in the summertime where I want a lighter touch. This thing is awesome. It truly blends and smooths liquid foundation and concealer perfectly and since I dampen it as directed, it leaves a nice dewiness to the skin, not powdery or matte at all. The narrow point is perfect for corners of eyes and around the nose and the wider end is just the right size to press and roll around your face to finish. I didn't buy the cleanser; I just use baby shampoo after each use. I wish there was a better way to store this than the cheapo plastic case it comes in, but it's no biggie. LOVE and recommend!!!!
Love! I no longer use any brush on my face (except for a powder brush to set my makeup in the end and eyeshadow brushes). This is all I need. it leaves my face look flawless! My ONLY complaint would be that it tends to waste alot of my Palladio foundation. Luckily, my foundation isn't expensive :p but other than that, I would definitely repurchase. What I like to do is swirl my sponge into my foundation and then spray It with my MAC fix + for a SUPER flawless look :)
I was expecting to like this a lot, but find I get better results with a flat top brush, and the same amount of coverage. The sponge absorbs a lot of product and I really have to smush it into the areas around my nose to get it to cover, and when I do that, it messes up the areas that are already done. It's also hard to control where you are applying the foundation, so I wind up with a little bit of it around my hairline, which is just icky. I also have a hard time getting it clean and am disturbed by how much pink color comes out of it no matter how many times I've washed it. It seems to emphasize any bad texture of my skin, and my foundation "cracks" more throughout the day when I use this. Plus, they are SUPER expensive. It is a lot of fun to bounce it around your face and I like the way it expands under water, but it's not worth it with the poor results I get. The only people who might really like this IMO are people who just can't get the hang of using a brush to get better results, or for people who don't mind the high cost of the sponge and the cost of wasted product that gets absorbed into it.

I bought a pack of 2 just to see what the hype is all about. Yes, it does a good job of putting on liquid or cream fdn using a stamping motion on the skin. I find I can do the same with other latex sponge of various shapes using the same stamping motion. The Beautyblender is a denser sponge as compared to other latex sponge. The tip does not work for the inner corner of the eyes and the bag area no matter what, it just doesn't get there, a concealer brush does a much much better job.
For the crazy price Beautyblender charge, it is totally not worth it.

I have oily skin and acne marks and therefore need a heavier application of my foundation. I have a Quo (Shopper's Drugmart brand) that is great quality but I always felt like the blending wasn't quite enough - I ended up sort of scrubbing the product into my pores, ruining my brush as it's flat and not meant to be used that way. Enter BeautyBlender. I tried copies as the Canadian Sephora didn't have it but nothing was the same. The blender has an added sponginess and porosity. By quickly dabbing, my concealer and foundation blend flawlessly. I would recommend buying the accompanying cleanser. I tried using my MAC brush cleanser but the gel consistency of this one makes it easier to squeeze and massage the makeup out. Granted it will discolour no matter what you use but it doesn't affect its efficacy.

The beautyblender is great for creamy liquid foundations (LM Silk Creme) and tinted moisturizer. I took one lippie off because I find using my fingers with cream foundation (Studio Stick, Studio Tech) works a bit better/faster. I didn't realize how much I like the beautyblender until yesterday. I was in a hurry and decided to use my Sigma foundation brush to apply Tarte Smooth Operator (tinted moisturizer). I found the application to be much more difficult, and super streaky. This is why I don't use a foundation brush to apply Silk Creme or Smooth Operator, because of the streaks. I also don't use my fingers to apply either of those products because of "finger lines". So, the beauty blender is excellent for some things, and sort of mediocre for others. When squeezing out excess water, I have noticed that some pink dye comes out, but have not seen any transfer to my face when applying makeup. Also, I have not purchased the blender cleanser, and to be honest, have not used the sample or washed the sponge yet so I can't attest to how well they will hold up over time. I've only used one of the two I bought, and then only about 6-7 times as I don't wear makeup every day.

just goes to show you how even a pro makeup artist like myself can be duped. i bought a twin pack, thinking because of the rave reviews i would be onto a winner. i mean, why waste money on just one when sooo many people love it?
its just a sponge, and not a very fine one at that, compared to the 'latex' type wedges. if you inspect the application in a MAGNIFYING mirror (a girls BFF) and not simply your regular mirror, you should be able to see teeny specks of pink all over your face. not only that, the finished result really isnt that great, i had to go over it with a latex wedge to get the result i need
this guests worse with every use/wash. and i think the dispensing method could be a lot simpler for the wash fluid. whats with the little dish thing, when a spout would do?
and then theres the colour loss, despite following cleansing instructions carefully and to the letter
and its laborious to use, bouncing up and down on your face
and the narrow end really isnt that narrow for 'getting into tight spots', especially when its damp. its general too big all round
so, im sticking to my foundation brushes for apply, and wedge sponges for finishing
its not even a nice pink colour, and it discolours al most immediate
and they want £100+ for a pro-pack of disposables? get outta here
so, the 2nd sponge sits as yet unused...
beauty? no. blender? no. no it my pro kit, and not in my own makeup kit
EDIT, a quick glance over the reviews tells me that pro artists are the ones who dont rate this. not just here, elsewhere on the net. says it all really

I read all of the reviews before finally buying this product, and I must say all of the positive reviews are right! It does a great job of providing coverage with thin foundation to thick foundation. One thing I will say though is I'm not actually a fan of dipping it in water first and then using it. I have found that this usually reacts with whatever makeup I'm using and makes it splotchy. Although I'm still on a hunt to find a good primer that won't break out my skin, so maybe that's the next step too! Overall is this a HG product, probably not one of mine (hard to tell a difference between this and using my fingers) but it's great for the under eye area and supplies great precesion
Well, I'm late to the game on this one, I know! I've only had my BB sponges for a few months now, and I've been waiting to chime in with my opinion because, to be honest, I'm constantly up and down with this product. I've tried it with every foundation and concealer I have in my collection or could get my hands on. I agree that it does a much better job than most brushes, insofar as it doesn't streak and it deposits colour without disturbing the skin. However, I don't find it to be significantly better (I give it a slight edge!) than my Simga F80 when it comes to liquid foundation - both achieve an air-brushed finish with no steaks. The pointed end of the sponge is great for getting into corners better than a brush, such as around my nose.
Some of downsides is that I found it stains easily with liquid foundation and it needs a wash after every use! However, I deep clean my brushes once a week and I've managed to make the sponge-washing one of the steps in my makeup routine. It's also quite expensive, though mine have lasted pretty well. Some of the cheaper dupes are comparable in use but not in quality and seem to deteriorate quickly. When I wash it, the water runs pink, which makes me wonder how much dye is in this little sponge? I would prefer something more natural, I think, though I concede that it is a cute colour. I also feel that it forces me to use way too much product, as it seems to absorb a lot of my liquid product, despite only using the sponge when it's damp (instructions say this will prevent the sponge from soaking up product - I call BS on that!).
One thing this sponge has done for me is made me love my Bare Escentuals products again - nothing I have ever used previously gives me such a fantastic application of this line. I had pushed them to the back of my makeup cabinet, but now I'm using the foundation and concealers daily again thanks to the help of the BB sponge. I'm finally able to make 'Well-Rested' eye powder work for me, whereas I previously hated it.
So, I definitely recommend trying this with a few different products and lines before forming a firm opinion - it could surprise you! Right now, I'm loving it and will continue to try it out with more items (highlights, cream blushes, etc...) to see where else I can make it work for me. I would likely buy it again.
Gotta give this little pink peep some love! I had been using Sonia Kashuk's version, at half the price, and whilst that was perfectly fine in the short term, it definitely showed wear and tear quickly and began to crumble on me. Not such a bargain in the long-term. Whilst a ridiculous wad of money for a sponge--this actually gives a more natural, skin-like finish and achieves it quicker than any foundation brush I've ever tried. I dampen it slightly and blot in a towel until it's almost dry, apply a little blob of foundation to the back of my hand and dip the BB in that; then lightly bounce it onto my skin. The pointed end is perfect for blending concealer or touching up under eyes and around the nose, chin, etc. I've successfully cleaned it with a gentle shampoo [just use less than you think you need, otherwise it takes forever to rinse the soap out.] I've been using mine for over a month and it looks brand new--anything that performs this well is a worthwhile investment, especially if like me you prefer a natural no-makeup look to your skin.

Hey everyone, About a month ago, I successfully brewed my first beer with the info I found here, a very nice IPA. It was a recipe from the LHBS, and I followed it to the T. It was a fairly low OG, at 1.045. I fermented in an opaque bucket with an airlock, so I couldn't see what was happening. Bubbling in the airlock started slowly about 24 hrs after, then slowly sped up before tapering off about 10 days in. For my second beer, I picked an apricot ale recipe from the LHBS. The recipe was: 1lb Wheat .33lb 40*L (30 mins at 160) 2qt pale .33qt adjunct .66Fuggles .5HBallertau .25Cascade 1scoop Irish Moss I then added a 49oz can of Apricot puree at 180*F to "pasteurize" the fruit, even though it should already be pasteurized the recipe said do it just in case. Fair enough. Cooled to 75*F with an IC, then went into a better bottle (so I can see what's happening now! ) well aerated and pitched the White Labs East Coast yeast. OG was 1.060. I don't have a target gravity; they don't have them in their recipes for whatever reason.. about 8 hours later, I came to check on the beer and it was starting to foam and the airlock was going nuts! About 2 bubbles a second. Much faster than the airlock ever bubbled on the IPA in the entire two weeks it was in primary! Now, about 36 hours into fermentation, the foam has died back a bit, but is still there. And the airlock is going much, much slower (about 1 bubble ever 30 seconds? but still going). Now, I guess it's to early to be having stuck-fermentation nightmares, but I just wanted to check with you experts here if you think this is normal for this type of beer? My thought was that the yeast first went the easy route and starting eating up the fructoses from the apricot, and now they are going to have to work to break down the maltoses from the LME. Does this make sense?? Thanks for any input!
Sounds like your second beer had a much healthier fermentation than the first beer. I usually get bubbling so rapid you can't count the number, and it's usually done in 3-4 days for most ales. Keep the temps stable and you will be just fine.
Oh good, thanks for the reassurance! I'm still new to this, but going to be sticking with it. Hopefully this batch is going to get kegged.

I came across this video the other day which had been shared by a non profit tshirt company I am familiar with on facebook. I was very impressed with what you had to say and think more people need to figure out how to do exactly what you did and bring more attention to situations such as this one. In light of this, I would like to buy you a shirt from the above mentioned tshirt company just as a token of appreciation, that is ofcourse if they are your taste. Fear not, they are free of sharp edges, and quite safe for children. If your interested please get in touch with me via the email provided…

Obama's women's pick? Baylor
Behind The Scenes Of President Obama's Bracket
If Baylor wins the NCAA women's basketball title, President Barack Obama will have picked the tournament champion for the second time in three years.
Obama tabbed Baylor to beat Notre Dame in the championship game in his annual women's bracket selections, which were unveiled Friday.
Obama said that Lady Bears center Brittney Griner would be the star of the tournament. When ESPN analyst Doris Burke asked whether he would play against Griner if Baylor visited the White House, the president replied that she probably would block his shot. Griner is 6-foot-8; Obama is listed as 6-foot-1.
The president's Final Four included three No. 1 seeds -- Baylor, Notre Dame and Connecticut -- but he went with third-seeded St. John's to win the Fresno region, upsetting Stanford in the regional final.
Obama also had seventh-seeded Louisville getting to the Elite Eight in the Raleigh region, and third-seeded Delaware upsetting second-seeded Tennessee in the Des Moines region semifinals.
The only upset the president took in the first round was Iowa State, a 10th seed, beating No. 7 Wisconsin-Green Bay.
- Baylor bounces TCU to push win streak to 18
- S. Carolina pulls by Aggies, improves to 19-0
- Iowa rallies, knocks off Nebraska in overtime
- S. Carolina still No. 1; Chattanooga in Top 25
Baylor became the first women's or men's team to go 40-0. It's the seventh perfect season in women's Division I history.

Subject: Cartels Establish Roadblocks in Monterrey, Mexico
Event: Traffic Roadblocks Established
Date: August 26, 2010
Location: Monterrey, Mexico
Description: Drug cartels have erected 14 roads blocks on all routes along the
eastern side of Monterrey, Mexico, blocking all inbound and outbound traffic.
In addition to Monterrey, the following cities are impacted due to the location
of the road blocks:
. San Nicolas
. Apodaca
. Guadalupe
Recommendation: FreightWatch recommends heightened security awareness and to
avoid routing cargo shipments through this area if at all possible. Any company

Why is the Treasury's interest rate so low?
- 29 January 2015
- From the section Business
How should the government take advantage of the record low interest rates it pays?
There are two big immediate causes of the rising price of UK government bonds or debt - whose effect is that it is cheaper than it has ever been for the Treasury to borrow for maturities of 10 years and 30 years.
First, inflation in the UK, driven mainly but not totally by falling oil prices, is heading towards zero in April and may turn negative or into deflation thereafter.
Inflation being so far below the 2% official target means the Bank of England has been signalling a delay in the fateful day when it will raise the interest rate it controls - probably till well into next year
Second, and just as important has been the announcement by the European Central Bank that it plans to buy more than a trillion euros of eurozone governments' and private sector bonds, in a big programme of quantitative easing.

Carney attacks German austerity
- 28 January 2015
- From the section Business
The governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, has tonight made what can only be described as a thinly-disguised attack on the German government's refusal to spend and borrow more to promote growth throughout the eurozone.
Germany is not once mentioned by name in his speech - entitled "Fortune favours the bold" - which he gave this evening on the fringes of the eurozone, in Dublin.
A slower recovery
- 27 January 2015
- From the section Business
There has been a slowdown in the British economy, driven by weaker construction, manufacturing and energy production - although it would be premature to see this as an end to the recovery.
GDP, or national income, grew 0.5% in the fourth quarter of the year, compared with 0.7% in the third and a recent peak of 0.8% in the second. That looks like a trend.
Why aren't markets panicking about Greece?
- 26 January 2015
- From the section Business
The Greek people don't seem desperately grateful for the 240bn euros in bailouts they've had from the eurozone and IMF - and here is one way of seeing why.
The country's economic crisis was caused in large part because its government had taken on excessive debts.

Can Labour pay for university fee cut?
- 25 January 2015
- From the section Business
We may be about to learn how much of a constraint Labour's promise to make no unfunded spending promises really is.
Because I have been told that Labour's leader, Ed Miliband, wants to next month announce an eye-catching policy of cutting maximum university fees for students by a third, from £9,000 to £6,000.
Why no le Pen or Farage at Davos?
- 23 January 2015
- From the section Business
Paloma Faith opened her set at Google's Davos jamboree by shouting - with no apparent sense of irony, as the vintage Bollinger flowed - "let's spread the 1%".
What she meant, presumably, was "let's find a way to redistribute some of the almost-50% of the world's wealth controlled by the richest 1%" - who undoubtedly include Paloma Faith.
Peston: Will cheap euros save the eurozone?
- 22 January 2015
- From the section Business
So the European Central Bank has embarked on cash creation through quantitative easing some six years after the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve embarked on what was then regarded as an unconventional monetary policy.
And the size of the programme, relative to eurozone GDP or output, is not a million miles from what those other central banks did. In other words, it isn't trivial.

A lucky chancellor
- 21 January 2015
- From the section Business
Maybe George Osborne will be seen as a lucky chancellor, because the fall in oil prices and the rate of inflation has happened at the most perfect time for the Tories - and presumably the Liberal Democrats too - in relation to the electoral cycle.
But there is a caveat, to which I will return.
Peston: Will euro QE work?
- 20 January 2015
- From the section Business
On Thursday we get the what and how much of eurozone quantitative easing.
Among investors and the media, I've rarely encountered quite so much fevered expectation about a policy that is very unlikely to do more than provide additional painkillers to an economy that needs rather more radical structural treatment (see my post of 14 January).
Why extreme inequality hurts the rich
- 19 January 2015
- From the section Business
"We could have developed a vaccine for Ebola years ago if we had chosen to allocate the resources to the appropriate research".
That is what a senior and respected medical scientist, a man who would be seen as a world authority on such matters, said to me.

BUST loves a good burger. Veggie, cheese . . . it matters not. Hence, the cravings hit hard when this guy appeared on the desktop. Apparently, the Burger Bed (which Geekologie notes, is technically a cheeseburger bed) has its own Facebook fan page , and is exceedingly popular. I say, of course; it's a bed that looks like a giant burger. With pickle pillows. And lettuce linens. And i bet you anything it's vegan.
Snuggle up in a sesame seed bun here (there's even a grocery list for making your own)!

At least it's been acknowledged that there's been a problem, but otherwise it sounds like a classic case of people with power, i.e. bankers, doing the easy but wrong thing and thinking it'll be okay if no one asks any questions or finds out about it. Japanese politicians, bankers, food producers and restaurant owners seem particularly prone to this kind of behaviour.
We are talking about 2 million euros aren't we? Too much words for too less money. I mean if it would be 200 million it would be an interesting story, but like that...no not really interesting
It looks like these gangsters need more exercises than loans...
Japan's troica involves politicians, businesses, and yakuza. Yakuza is very important part of Japan. Yakuza collects money from businesses in return for protection and favor. Using this money, yakuza elect politicians. And also help people in case of natural disasters. Yakuza cements and lubricates Japanese society.
What a terrible society Japan is, run by criminal gangs!
In Japan's next door neighbor, the government itself is a bunch of gangsters ...
Criminal politicians, actually. But in some cases they're virtually indistinguishable.
Completely ignoring the information put forward in the article, those gentlemen seem familiar to me.
Exactly. I am sick of economist randomly using pictures completely out of context.
It took the picture of a bunch of Asian college students (that may or may not be Chinese) and put them centerfold as "Chinese fake diplomas"
And of course, my least favorite, a bunch of 7 years old Chinese boys in rural China, then portray them as future Boxers out to attack foreigners living in China.
Woah there, it's only a stock image, not need to start accusing people of racism.
It's just something slapped on the top of the article to fill up space with something other than text. If they can't find an image directly related to the article, they'll just slap some random image that is vaguely related (e.g. if they can't find a picture of a 7 year old boxer, they'll just put up a picture of a random 7 year old).
Japan Ltd. needs lessons in corporate governance, it's all complex hierarchy, kudos to superiors, better no questions asked on the status quo. Shareholders better learn the lesson, the current rallye of the Nikkei is not reasonable.
The Yakuza made Japan safe for democracy. Patriots.
They also threw Juzo Itami, the talented fim director out of a high-rise building.
Got a bit boisterous.
Now all the Japanese have left is a Pachinko cinema culture with a sprinkling of hyper surrealism.
To ensure against such supervisory shortcomings at the bank level, it is better to provide for a third party Know Your Customer - Common Area Service Provider. Only when this independent service provider clears the name of the applicant, the banks may proceed further to process the loan application received. This approach will contribute to reduction in cost and complexities for the banks. This endeavour of setting up of a common area service provider for Know Your Customer clearance could be jointly set up the banks themselves absorbing the cost and efforts. This will be worthwhile and would take away all the pains and blots on their reputation as there may not be direct impact due to any bad loan. The service provider would strictly look into the antecedents of the applicants for credit facilities. Of course this initiative would be technology intensive and my organisation (Polaris FT) can facilitate this.

Some say the Dallas/Fort Worth area offers the best shopping you can find, so whether it's souvenirs, kitting out the kids or treating yourself to something new, shopping is one of the must-do things to do in Dallas/Fort Worth.
From the Milan inspired Galleria Dallas, with its infamous ice rink, to over 200 stores under one roof at Grapevine Mills, the shopping malls are the best place to start. Keep an eye out for Farmer's markets and Flea markets for unique finds too.
The Great Wolf Lodge is one of the top family attractions in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
The 84 degree indoor water park offers an array of pools and water slides, including Howlin Tornado™ and a 4-storey interactive tree-house, to keep the kids occupied with plenty of things to do. Outside the pool, attractions at Great Wolf Lodge include arcades, MagiQuest® and XD Theater.
Make the most of the chance to get up close and personal with the underwater world at SEALIFE Aquarium Grapevine.
With more than 5,000 creatures in 30 incredible displays, spend an afternoon with the family making new friends with those who live underneath the sea! With plenty of things to do with the kids, including a soft play area and 360 degree Underwater Ocean Tunnel, SEALIFE Aquarium will fast become a family favourite attraction for Dallas locals and visitors alike.
As the official hotel of the Dallas Cowboys, the Gaylord Texan oozes Texan charm and the stand-out glass atriums make the Dallas/Fort Worth attraction hard to miss.
The entertainment center offers dining and shopping options amongst four and a half acres of indoor gardens and winding waterways, perfect for spending an evening together after a fun-filled family day of activites.
Tickets must be purchased in advance!
Open from 10am Monday to Saturday. (11am on Sunday).
Find us at Grapevine Mills Mall. Plan a Visit.
Enjoyable experience for my kid (only 18 months old). Lots of different ways to enjoy your time. Also showed a 4D movie which was a very cool experience.

I finally got my Avid bolt-on sliders powder coated this weekend and installed. Installation was pretty easy on the driver's side but the passenger side slider will need to have the mounting holes "slotted" as they don't line up enough to install more than 3 bolts.

CAIRO — Women leaned over balconies to catch a glimpse of Amr Moussa as he walked the streets of a middle-class Cairo neighborhood one recent afternoon. Little girls giggled and crowds gathered in awe at the celebrity in their midst.
But as boys sang "The people want Amr Moussa for president," the candidate might not have heard the slur being spat by young men down the block. "Felool," they called him, Arabic for "remnants" — a stark reminder that an effort by the 75-year-old to inherit the mantle of the Egyptian revolution could be derailed by his long associations with the fallen regime.

Norwood Neighborhood Slow Zone
The Bronx neighborhood of Norwood applied for a Neighborhood Slow Zone in May, 2013. The application was accepted due to the proposed zone's high frequency of crashes and injuries, strong natural boundaries and an appropriate local street network. The proposed treatments will lower the speed limit to 20 mph within the zone, improving safety for all roadway users, reducing traffic noise and cut-through traffic, and enhancing the social quality of the streets.

Senses Spa for Adult and Child..Not sure how to plan this
Sorry if this has been posted before. I have searched and could not find anything. We have never been to the Senses spa and would love some advice. I would like to book a signature pedicure at the Grand Floridian for my oldest DD20 and also another DD12. My understanding is DD20 will have full access to the health center, whirlpool, snacks, etc. Would DD12 have access to anything other than just the pedicure like her older sister? When I called to inquire the person I spoke to was either not very knowledgeable or just didn't feel like being helpful. DD20 will last 90 mins and dd12 25 mins. Would we just need to leave and we go back and pick up our older dd later? Any suggestions or comments from anyone that has done this before would be much appreciated!
My understanding is that she would need to be accompanied by an adult.
If she wanted to use the Fitness Center I think she has to be 14. To be sure, I would call again & see if you get someone that sounds more confident in their response. |
I don't know which number you called but when I have wanted information from the spas I have called them directly or at least used the number dedicated to them (1-407-WDW-SPAS).
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/sp...pa/senses-spa/ |
[QUOTE=Marthasor;49819090]Based on this, the only restriction is the health club - guests must be 14 and over. When I was there in August, I saw a mom with her young teen daughter in the lounge. They were reading magazines, enjoying the snacks, etc. I would imagine your daughter could use the spa facilities just not the health center.
We have never been to the GF spa. Do you know if the whirlpool is part of the health club? As long as she will be able to enjoy the lounge and hang out with her older sister there for a little while I think we will go ahead and book this. I just didn't want her to feel left out completely since her older sister will have full access to all the facilities. Thanks for your help. |

Comfortable, quiet, and a great breakfast. Great value. I would recommend it for anyone, I would stay there again.
The room was comfortable, the division between living and bed room was very nice. Bathroom roomy and nice size tub. Wi worked well and TV had a pretty good selection. Breakfast included and a very comprehensive and impressive spread.
Just unlucky, a sport team was visiting so a bit noisey, but one in the room it was quiet.

The manager was so selfless I was amazed. Friendly staff and nice location.
I'm a pretty picky person when it comes to hotels and I usually do not do reviews, because I am usually not that impressed with the hotels we stay at. However this hotel was excellent! I have no complaints and this will be the hotel we stay at whenever we are in San Antoino.
Food and bed was comfortable
Pool not 24 hours
Room was very comfortable and clean.
Location was away from everything interesting. Not much selection on breakfast. No choice for people that couldn't eat southwestern.
large rooms, Wi-Fi, kitchen area and a very good breakfast
Clean rooms and facility Good breakfast options Friendly front desk staff One room king suite includes separate bedroom and living room, which was great for our needs as we were travelling with our 2-year old son Microwave/refrigerator in room are standard Large bathroom Modern, new accommodations
Hallway was very cold, especially at the end of the hall near our room. It was difficult to regulate the temperature in the room -- a two degree difference on the thermostat equated to a significant difference in the ambient temperature of the room.
We liked that it was right off Loop 410, and easily accessible. We also liked the inside of the hotel, especially our room. We had a really comfortable bed, in a well - furnished suite. We'd love to stay again.
The neighborhood initially looked a questionable, since the hotel is on a street off the highway, but the parking seemed well lit.
Great overall service. friendly sraff, clean and very quiet rooms. great shuttle service.
No dislikes.
Good breakfast, nice room, close to Alamo Heights
Roomy. Nice breakfast.
While the bowl/sink in bathroom was modern, the upholstered furniture was filthy. We wouldn't have sat on any chairs or sofas without a towel cover.
The staff was very friendly with clean, comfortable rooms. Additionally, the breakfast was very organized with clean surroundings and very good!
Quiet Clean front desk staff was very nice Cookies were a nice touch Quality toiletries
Scary kitchen guy Breakfast was not good
We loved the facilities and the service this hotel brought. the bed was very comfortable and the room fits perfectly for our needs. The breakfast was good too.
All was good for us.
Friendly and helpful Staff. Hotel was clean and quite.
Need a better variety of breakfast items.

ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Building on its flagship suite of medication and infusion management platforms, Cardinal Health today launched the Pyxis(R) MedStation(R) 4000 and an industry-first Performance Analytics Service that provides hospitals with customized, actionable recommendations to help improve medication safety.
The Pyxis(R) MedStation(R) 4000 automated medication dispensing system offers new features that can help hospitals increase the security of high-alert medications and reduce medication errors. Key new features include:
-- Enhanced barcode scanning technology - Provides the option to require clinicians to scan medications upon removal to help ensure they've retrieved the right medication for the right patient and alert them to incorrect dosage or other potential errors. The built-in scanner is also used during restocking to help ensure the right medications are loaded into the right drawer location.
-- Ability to block loading of specific medications - Provides an option to reject certain medications from being loaded into a specific Pyxis(R) MedStation(R) 4000 system, helping to protect against certain types of medication errors. For example, adult-sized doses of medication can be programmed from the pharmacy console to never be accepted at a Pyxis(R) MedStation(R) 4000 located in a neonatal unit.
-- User-specific tracking of undocumented waste - When specific users remove more of a medication than prescribed, the Pyxis(R) MedStation(R) 4000 system tracks and reminds the user of the need to document the waste. The information can be used to identify possible incidence of diversion.
Cardinal Health also launched its new Performance Analytics Service, which
securely transmits medication dispensing data from the Pyxis(R) MedStation(R)
4000 and infusion data from the Alaris(R) System to Cardinal Health experts
for review and analysis. Ba

Mitre [S]
(Heb. mitsnepheth), something rolled round the head; the turban or head-dress of the high priest ( Exodus 28:4 Exodus 28:37 Exodus 28:39 ; 29:6 , etc.). In the Authorized Version of Ezekiel 21:26 , this Hebrew word is rendered "diadem," but in the Revised Version, "mitre." It was a twisted band of fine linen, 8 yards in length, coiled into the form of a cap, and worn on official occasions ( Leviticus 8:9 ; 16:4 ; Zechariah 3:5 ). On the front of it was a golden plate with the inscription, "Holiness to the Lord." The mitsnepheth differed from the mitre or head-dress (migba'ah) of the common priest. (See BONNET .)
Turban.And I said, Let them set a fair MITRE upon his head. So they set a fair MITRE upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by. ( Zechariah 3:5 )
Mitre [E]
(something rolled around the head), the turban or headdress of the high priest, made of fine linen cloth, eight yards long, folded around the head. On the front was a gold plate on which was inscribed Holiness to the Lord . ( Exodus 28:4 Exodus 28:37 Exodus 28:39 ; Exodus 39:28 Exodus 39:30 ; Leviticus 8:9 ) [E] indicates this entry was also found in Easton's Bible Dictionary
mi'-ter In the King James Version this word renders two Hebrew words, both of which, however, come from the same stem, namely, tsanaph, "to coil" or "to wrap round." In Exodus 28, a mitre (the Revised Version margin "turban") is enumerated among Aaron's articles of dress, which were to be made by tailors of recognized skill. On the forefront of the mitre was a "plate of pure gold" with the words "Holy to Yahweh" (i.e. consecrated to Yahweh) inscribed upon it. This gold plate was fastened to the mitre by a blue ribbon. The material of the mitre was fine linen or silk. The word for the headtire (the King James Version "bonnet") of the ordinary priest was a different word. Ezekiel uses the word in connection with Zedekiah (21:26); the prophet associated regal and priestly functions with the throne. It is possible, however, that the two sentences--"remove the mitre," and "take off the crown"--refer to the degradation of the priesthood and of the throne which the downfall of Jerusalem will involve. The Septuagint varies between kidaris and mitra, the former word being used in Sirach 45:12.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
On 19 December 2013 the Court of Justice of the European Union rendered an important judgment concerning the interpretation of Article 7 of Directive 96/9/EC regarding the legal protection of databases (the 'Database Directive'), in the context of the dedicated meta search engine www.gaspedaal.nl. The CJEU's decision effectively bans the 'scraping' of databases, and provides a strong incentive to those who invest in the setting up and operation of a database. This decision will be welcomed by websites that have compiled their own databases and do not wish third parties to scrape their data and pass it on to the public. On the other hand, websites which aggregate data from third party websites (even if only in response to user queries) should consider auditing their data usage, and ensuring they have appropriate licences to allow them to make the desired use of third party data. Background The CJEU was asked preliminary questions in this case C-201/12 between Innoweb B.V. ('Innoweb') on the one side and Wegener ICT Media B.V. and Wegener Mediaventions B.V. ('Wegener') on the other, by the Appeal Court of The Hague in the Netherlands. Wegener runs the website www.autotrack.nl on which Wegener provides access to an online collection of second-hand car ads. Users of the website are enabled to carry out targeted searches for a vehicle on the basis of various criteria such as the make, model, mileage, price, year of manufacture and colour of vehicles. Innoweb runs the website www.gaspedaal.nl, a so-called 'dedicated meta search engine', which enables users to, through a single query, conduct searches of various third party websites, including www.autotrack.nl. The questions asked of the CJEU were intended to ascertain whether the maker of a protected database such as www.autotrack.nl can prevent the database from being included for no consideration in the service of a dedicated meta search engine, such as www.gaspedaal.nl. The CJEU's decision The CJEU decided that the act on the part of the operator of a dedicated meta search engine such as www.gaspedaal.nl, which is intended to translate the queries keyed in by its end users into the search engine of a protected database, constitutes 'making available' the contents of the protected database within the meaning of Article 7(2)(b) of the Database Directive. More specifically, the CJEU decided that the dedicated meta search engine re-utilises the whole or a substantial part of the contents of a database protected under Article 7 of the Database Directive where that dedicated meta search engine:
In the view of the CJEU, making the dedicated meta search engine www.gaspedaal.nl available on the internet, comes close to the manufacture of a parasitical competing product as referred to in recital 42 of the Database Directive. The dedicated meta search engine resembles a database, but without actually containing the data. Wider implications This decision will be welcomed by websites that have compiled their own databases and do not wish third parties to scrape their data and pass it on to the public. On the other hand, websites which aggregate data from third party websites (even if only in response to user queries) should consider auditing their data usage, and ensuring they have appropriate licences to allow them to make the desired use of third party data.

Has anyone here actually bothered looking at all or is everyone just assuming? xbla provides a list of top rated and most downloaded games, Indie rpgs are all over those lists, including cthulu. And the marketplace has a new games section too, so cthulu got advertising. I'm not really sure what to make of this. Unless people are just so lazy or uninformed that nobody bothers to check out the Indie games on Xbox. Or if steam's level of purchasing is just that high.
Re:All foam, no beer (224 comments)
Random ideas off the top of my head: Rogue stars of any sort might carry clouds of hydrogen and/or other elements, possibly even rocky asteroids and protoplanets, with them. It might be possible to refuel in one of these systems. Gravitational slingshots become an interesting idea, possibly allowing for some really interesting maneuvers. A gravity source also makes orbiting possible, so we could send ahead robotic probes to orbit some big external fuel tanks to await a manned mission that will carry less mass on-board and pick up supplies along the way- the probes can use gravitational assist to cut down on fuel use when stopping and rejoining the manned mission. There's just all sorts of potential, although again I'm mostly talking about any rogue star and not just brown dwarves.
Re:Best Buy Loves Selling Snake Oil (664 comments)
Newsflash, and I can't believe I have to say this on slashdot: Best Buy doesn't train people to inform customers, period. Best Buy trains salesmen (as in, lots of males) to increase profits. You, as a tech junkie, are a reliable source of income with no variables, you come in and get what you want, goodbye. What they care about is the mother of five who knows nothing at all about technology and gets upsold $1,500 worth of accessories on a $500 TV. On the release of the Xbox 360, Best Buy was "expecting" to upsell the average Rewards customer (and new people they could sell on the Rewards junk) over $600 worth of accessories- separate from the purchse of the system. That's an AVERAGE of double the system price, IN ADDITION TO selling the system. This has nothing to do with utility, or quality of product, or need of the customer- the only statistic is how much money was gotten from the customer, and if possible, how can we fleece them for more (Geek Squad). If you consider yourself even vaguely aware of smart shopping, and you still frequent BestBuy, you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself (other than comparison shopping of course, like handling a demo unit of a laptop in person before buying it online).

Is Amazon counting porn? No, seriously. The last report before Amazon stopped admitting the numbers was that over half (54%?) of Kindle sales were Harlequin quasi-porn and the like. The increased privacy, discreet nature of the transaction and storage, make the device a natural market for adults-only material. A big part of why Kindle is dominating dead tree, is because the porn industry is once again leading the charge into the new format.

Re:Why are there so many to choose from? (329 comments)
Personally, this is exactly why I dislike Sony. I think that Sony doesn't take enough heat, because they're still regarded as the Walkman Gods, for whatever reasons. Competing companies take more flak, which results in better products.

I had a really enjoyable stay here in Holistica. The staff are fantastic - very friendly and helpful, offering help with tours and travel but also any other queries. The hostel is very clean, showers are warm and the breakfast is really tasty (plus you get to choose from 6 dishes). I thought the atmosphere was good and for solo travellers you can meet people. If you want a hostel where you drink/party all night, this isn't it, but you can just party elsewhere and sleep here!

Gives free beer, snacks, coffee etc to guests which is awesome, however only one employee speaks english and for some reason he didn't handle the english speaking guests, so when a complication arose it took an hour to resolve it when he could have done it straight away. Showers were not very hot, and the security seems over the top, making it very difficult to get in anytime after 10pm. Atmosphere was also very very quiet.

We had a really great stay at Holistico. The services and staff were excellent, and the facilities were very nice. I just want to kindly mention that the music at reception was played at a very bothersome level. A little ambient background music is nice, but we felt it was overpowering. We did ask for it to be lowered one day, and it was, but still very loud.

Great atmosphere, nice terrace, good kitchen that you can also cook in and they make excellent breakfast. They have laundry service and tour agency. The best thing is a table with many kinds of treats that you can enjoy all the time (water, juices, tea, coffee, candies, cookies, fruits and more).

Stayed here during off season, really enjoyed the space and the people passing through. The staff are extremely helpful and up at all hours to assist with any travel issues. Breakfast was delish, and having clean water, breakfast, and tea included in the accommodation price is so so so nice! If you've stayed in other hostels around Guatemala, you know how big of a perk this is!

New books, edits and new releases have filled my days and nights. I have included them all at the bottom of this post for you!
However I have now given myself an early Christmas present and the best present for me is time! Yes... a few days off writing and editing.
I've written several blog posts about perseverance and following your dream. The last three years has been magic for me as my writing career has blossomed. (Love that word...it was one of my mother's favourites) Being grown up can be tough and I know many of my readers have sad times and difficult circumstances to deal with. This year, we lost our beautiful mother and memories of my childhood years have filled my mind for many months.
One of my all-time favourite stories is Peter Pan. I guess the memories of being a child, and being carefree stay with all of us for much of our lives. Peter stayed a child and I love watching the movie, reading the book and losing myself in his world. (Another one to add to the holiday list)
Wouldn't we all love a few days as Peter Pan or reliving our childhood? |
Another of the joys of being an author is sharing your feelings and emotions with your readers. For me , a good story is one that makes me feel along with the characters: their joy, their grief, their happiness. To live in other worlds and to experience the lives of others, is a wonderful past time.
Another is spending time with like-minded people.Other people who make up stories in their head and talk to their characters as they do everyday things. I have made wonderful, wonderful friends all over the world over the past three years...both authors and readers and I count myself as truly blessed.
Five of those authors have contributed to my recently released holiday anthology.
I love this time of the year. I love Christmas and the holiday season. This year, I will make time to decorate the tree, send REAL Christmas greetings in the post, and wrap the presents.
So to celebrate Christmas have combined two of my loves and I have worked with five other authors to produce two holiday anthologies. The first one has been released and is available now.
All I Want For Christmas has been reduced to only 99c for a few days so you, the readers, can enjoy the spirit of Christmas and romance all over the world.

Keeping you up to date....and to give you a choice of Annie Seaton holiday reading...
My recent releases:
Seductive Secrets:
Regan James has lived the life of a wanderer, and is jaded with working in second class tourist dives. When she is rescued from a seedy bar by her past lover, Rod Carruthers, he believes the worst of her—as usual. Can Regan convince him that she is not the bad girl he thinks she is—or does she really want to, now that Rod is mixed up in something mysterious?
Each of them holds a secret; will the passion between them ever let the truth be told?
Capturing the Pirate's Heart:
When Madeleine Bellerose sets out from her English manor on her quest to recover a priceless family heirloom in New Orleans, the last thing she expects is to be held captive by the infamous pirate, Sebastien Le Clerc.
Will Sebastien mend his wicked ways and help Madeleine in her quest?
Can love overcome the lack of trust and the web of lies that is spun in the race to find the emerald necklace?
Will Sebastien mend his wicked ways and help Madeleine in her quest?
Can love overcome the lack of trust and the web of lies that is spun in the race to find the emerald necklace?
Brushing Off the Boss:
Artist Sienna Sacchi is about to have everything she's ever dreamed of, when sexy playboy Jack Montgomery comes strolling back into her life as the owner of her gallery. Her plan to buy it herself ruined, she refuses to let him interfere with the most important thing—her debut exhibition. But Jack's not just taking over her workplace, he's also intruding on her art studio, her home, and maybe even her heart.
Jack Montgomery has few rules for his carefree life, but never mixing business with pleasure is one he is determined to keep. He'd planned on finally satisfying the tension between him and Sienna, but discovering he's her boss puts an immediate end to that. Unfortunately, being forced to share a tiny apartment with the gorgeous, tempting sculptor is pushing Jack to his limits. One brush with desire could ruin everything they'v worked for.
All I Want for Christmas
Love is everywhere. Under the Tuscan sun, in tropical breezes and highland snow. Travel the world and discover yours in three delightful Christmas stories to warm your heart.
So tell me what is your best Christmas memory? I will gift a copy of my recently released novella Seductive Secrets to three commenters. Drawn on 7th December.
Until next time... Happy reading!

What began in 2005 as a small event started by a single tennis player and filling just 13 courts at her club has grown to include nine south Charlotte tennis clubs, 100 courts and 800 female participants.
Avid tennis player and Donna Branham, 46, of Weddington is the founder and event coordinator of the Bosom Buddies Benefit Clinic, held annually in south Charlotte.An active member of the Weddington Swim & Racket Club, Branham came to realize that nearly all the 60 female tennis players in her league were affected by or knew someone touched by breast cancer."My mother-in-law is a 50-year breast cancer survivor and, sadly, it seemed to be an issue that affected most of (my tennis partners). I wanted to do something good for people in the community," Branham said.Branham created a fundraiser that offered both a fun day of noncompetitive tennis clinics and breast cancer research and prevention education: "Last year we raised over $50,000, and 100 percent of proceeds benefited the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization and Ann's Fund."Ann's Fund was started by Carolinas Medical Center in honor of NewsChannel 36 reporter Ann Sheridan, a breast cancer survivor who chronicled her diagnosis and treatment via a well-received series of news segments. The fund provides mammograms to local women in need.This year, Sheridan; Gloria Scienski, executive director of the Charlotte affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure; and representatives from event sponsor Charlotte Radiology Breast Center will give keynote addresses at different Bosom Buddies events. In addition to "raising funds to help women in need, individuals learn about breast health awareness during a time of year other than October," which is breast cancer awareness month, Scienski said.This year's Bosom Buddies event will be May 18 at the following clubs: Blakeney Racquet Club, Providence Country Club, Carmel Country Club, Raintree Country Club, Charlotte Indoor, Rock Hill Tennis Center, Firethorne Country Club, Sardis Swim & Racquet Club, Olde Providence Racquet Club and Weddington Swim & Racquet Club, the founding club."This event means the world to me," Branham said. "The clinics are fun, and tennis pros from all around donate their time to this event. We even have college coaches driving in from Appalachian State University, UNC Greensboro and UNC Charlotte."Wednesday, Apr. 28, 2010
Bosom Buddies takes a swing at cancer with tennis tourney
Most playing spots are filled, but in addition to a raffle at each site, there is also an online silent auction at the Bosom Buddies website: www.bosombuddiesbenefit.org; there also is a "Make a Donation" button.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN analyst a fan of new Cardinals QB Brian Hoyer
The Arizona Cardinals' newest quarterback may have just been plucked off the waiver wire, but many fans are hoping to see Brian Hoyer take some snaps before the 2012 season ends.
ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo the 27-year-old will need at least a week or two with the Cardinals before he will be ready for game action, with the team needing to very much simplify the gameplan for a player without much time in the system.
However, Jaworski added he is a fan of the former Patriots backup.
"I'm surprised Brian Hoyer was available after he was released by the New England Patriots earlier this year," Jaworski said. "I liked Brian when he was coming out.
"I thought what I saw of him on tape in New England, you know he had extensive preseason work, very limited regular season work, but I thought he had a shot to be an NFL quarterback."
Hoyer may get a chance with the Cardinals, as Kevin Kolb was just placed on injured reserve and backups John Skelton and Ryan Lindley have been ineffective under center. Though few would expect Hoyer, who was most recently with the Pittsburgh Steelers, to be ready, there is a thought that he can't be any worse than what the Cardinals have had at the position.
"I was kind of surprised that Hoyer was not picked up immediately by a team like the Cardinals who had some quarterback needs."
