With Thanksgiving and Black Friday around the corner, it's time to start thinking about those gifts and what better gift than a gaming gift. This year, there's lots of new gadgets and games that would make great stocking stuffers. Here's our Top 10 gaming gifts for the 2012 holidays.
During Nintendo's press conference in New York City, Satoru Iwata revealed that Platinum Games is making Bayonetta 2. Most importantly, the sequel would be a exclusive for the Wii U. After he spoke, a teaser trailer appeared showing no gameplay, but showing the main sexy protagonist would be back for the next installment.
Nintendo today revealed more details about its new Wii U home console plus its touch-screen Wii U GamePad controller and announced that the Wii U will launch in the Americas on November 18th of this year. It also announced that during the launch window, more than 50 games will be available for Wii U, which will be offered in two different colors and configurations. The Basic Set will be offered in white at a suggested retail price of $299.99, while the Deluxe Set, which includes higher storage capacity, additional accessories and the new Nintendo Land video game, will be offered in black at a suggested retail price of $349.99.
Today, Nintendo has announced the Nintendo Wii U launch details at an event in New York City. The company's next generation console will release on November 18th, with European consumers forced to wait till November 30th. Two different editions of the Wii U will be available; the basic set will be available for 299 dollars in the US, While the deluxe edition will be sold for 349 dollars .
Tonight, Nintendo aired its latest Nintendo Direct Internet special, one that's coming just two weeks after its E3 showcase, where it displayed the Wii U in action, along with various 3DS titles. Now, the bad news is tonight's presentation didn't feature any new information about the new Wii U. However, we did learn about a new model for the Nintendo 3DS, as well as when it launches. There's some other news as well – including who's working on the new Super Smash Bros. game.
At one point in time, you couldn't go wrong with Mario Tennis. When it was first released on the Nintendo 64, it was a simple little party favorite, packing hours of addictive gameplay, especially if you brought along friends. The game fared even better on the GameCube with Mario Power Tennis, featuring more great multiplayer options, as well as better graphics and court offerings. But on the 3DS, Mario Tennis Open feels like it takes a stumble for the worse. The core gameplay is still in the game, along with many offerings for single and multiplayer offerings, but it just feels like something is off in the serve.
Nintendo's 3DS system got off to a bad start when it released last year, with a mostly lackluster launch line-up and lack of features for the system. But now, finally, it seems to have gained its footing with some stellar game releases, including The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land, amongst others. And while its showing at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo wasn't the greatest, there are still some great games to look forward to.
The idea behind E3 was to showcase the latest and brightest games of 2012, but there are always a few games that disappoint us. Some games on our list made serious changes to their formula, and not for the better. Other games took center stage at E3 when they shouldn't have. There were many games at E3, but here is our top five list of disappointments.
The free-to-play market had a huge showing at E3 and was showcased at Sony's Online Entertainment booth. Recently SOE converted all of its most popular MMOs into the model, giving new life to D.C Universe while reintroducing fans to the PlanetSide series.
This year's Electronic Entertainment Expo was supposed to be the place where Nintendo would proclaim domination with its Wii U device, and show the world what its next gen system could do. And while there were more than enough games to go around, Nintendo themselves only had so many surprises up its sleeve, with the main one being…Nintendoland? That said, the company came up short in its presentation, and we count the five most crucial ways they did so.
Nintendo is definitely looking to grab some attention this week at the Electronic Entertainment Expo with its Wii U, and it got a head start earlier today with its Nintendo Direct online presentation. In 30 minutes time, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata managed to talk about some of the system's technical features, and while he didn't really confirm too many games, some are bound to be of interest to fans of the company.
Let the Electronic Entertainment Expo festivities officially begin! Tomorrow marks the run of press conferences, where companies will make their breaking announcements and reveal long-awaited projects. But Nintendo appears to be getting the jump on the competition. Ahead of its own press conference on Tuesday, Nintendo will be hosting a special pre-E3 Direct online special today at 6 PM EDT, with global president Satoru Iwata set to discuss something regarding the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. The question, is...what?
To be honest, Nintendo did manage to do fairly well with the Wii. Not only did it finally nail down using a typical CD format for its games (shying away from the cartridge and mini-discs it used previously), but it also effectively introduced motion gaming to the scene, with such favorites as Wii Sports and Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. And while it is on its last legs with the upcoming Wii U slated for release this fall, that doesn't mean the party is completely over for it. In fact, there are five games that will still make it worth playing this summer – that is, if the Wii is the only option you have.
When Nintendo presented its big showcase last year before the Electronic Entertainment Expo took place, it shocked the world with the announcement of the Wii U, a new game console that would take advantage of an innovative new touch screen controller. However, when it came to hitting the floor and seeing the Wii U in action, most people think it came up a bit short, despite the interesting presentations. This time around, Nintendo has a chance to really show attendees what their next-gen system is made of. So how can they capitalize? We've got a few ideas…
Every year, video game companies go all out at one specific event – the Electronic Entertainment Expo, which takes place every year in Los Angeles around June. Here, companies like to show off what lies ahead in the next twelve to fifteen months, big projects, small uprisings, little advancements to their hardware…that sort of thing. We've been to a lot of shows now, and they've been impressive, but E3 2012 should be an even bigger year, thanks to what the companies are bringing.

I am setting up and testing the Spreadsheet to PLC I/O Utility with considerabl;e success. I have also successfully created a new PLC Style number, which I intend ti use as a default setting. Basically, the Spreadsheet to PLC I/O Utility, and the new PLC Style are working great.
I have identified the new PLC Style (#9 in my case) on all screens that I have seen, particularly the "Spreadsheet to PLC I/O Setup" dialog box. In my test runs, some PLC appear in the new style #9, and others do not. I cannot find a single instance where a dialog box does not reflect my preference of Style #9.
How do I set the default PLC style to #9, so that all spreadsheet gernerated PLC's reflect that style?
Thanks as always!
Did you create a new HP9XXXXXXX and VP9XXXXXXX for each drawing in style 1? (There should be 40 of each)
If so, not sure what is happening.
I have fould errors in the files before (most noticably, the VP drawings for IEC are reversed (Left instead of right and vice versa)
Yes. In my case, Style 4 bwas closest to what I wanted. I copied the Hp4XXXXX files, edited them as needed, and resaved them as Hp9XXXXX.
You did what I would have done so I am not sure what is going on. Maybe one of the ACE reps can chime in.
I changed the Hp9XXXX files for inputs, but not for outputs. Input cards looked great, and I assumed victory, before finishing the task. It's all good now.
Thanks for your help!
Glad I could help (sorta).
Here's a related follow-up...
I have found that PLC style file Hp9wa-d.dwg can be edited to adjust the location of ladder line descriptions, among other things, for input cards.
However, when a combination card comes along, which is located in the center iof the ladder, the descriptions are located inside the ladder. This seems to be because the same file is used (Hp9wa-d.dwg), and the descrfiptions are the same distance from the terminal.
I do not see a way to correct the default settings, since input terminals could be located in the center or near one edge of the ladder.
With Combo-cards, I create a ladder that is 1.5-2 times wider than my normal ladder and then locate the combo-card in the middle. The description will be "inside" the ladder but I find that it was not a problem if I leave enough room on the sides.
I hope that helps.
Another option to consider is to update the *.wdp file. You would have to do the following:
1. Create a new directory with modified Hp1XXXXX (I forget which style acade defaults to: Hp1, Hp2, Hp3, Hp4, etc….). If multiple users exist a mapped network drive may work best.
2. Change the *.wdp file to look for the directory with the modified Hp1XXXXX with highest priority. Search for the following text in the *.wdp file:
"+[1]c:/.../autodesk/acade 2012/jic125/;....."
and change it so acade will first look in a mapped "p" drive (I chose a mapped "p" drive for an example only). Add the new custom directory just like the bold/italic text below (don't forget the ";"):
"+[1]p:/acade2012/custom_jic125/;c:/.../autodesk/acade 2012/jic125/;....."
The custom files on the "p" drive will be selected first. Setting up the *.wdp file will make life a lot easier on a project by project basis. As a bonus, other acade drafters will not require any custom settings. Also, future acade upgrades will automatically use the custom "p" drive as default.
PS. If you need help creating the spreadsheet I recommend the following website: RackLayout.com

Myeik (Mergui) is a city in Tanintharyi Division in Southeastern Myanmar. Understand[edit]Mergui was the name given by the British to the southernmost part of Burma. The Mergui archipelago was off-limits to foreigners until 1997; although it is now open for tourism, access is limited and it remains largely unexplored. Get in[edit]By bus[edit]The road to Dawei is open now for foreigners. The bus costs about MYK8,000 (MYK750 for locals) and it takes 10 hours for the 200km. There is also a local bus between Myeik and Kawthoung. Travel agencies charge foreigners MYK20,000 (MYK1,500 for locals) and the whole trip takes about 24 hours without delays. Expect an extremely uncomfortable ride in an old and small but heavily packed bus with 40 seats and 90 passengers. The "road" between Myeik and Kawthoung is actually a long and bumpy dirt track. Especially during the rainy season it is likely that the vehicle gets stuck in the mud. Engine problems and collapsed bridges can cause further delays. By plane[edit]Myanma Airways has daily flights, and Air Bagan has 3 flights per week, from Yangon. Myanma Airways flights (typically once a week) from Mawlamyine and Kawthoung may also be available - check locally at the local Myanma Airways office. Air KBZ has daily flights during the tourist high season (beginning October to end of April) which fly from Yangon to Kawthoung (and return) stopping in Dawei and Myeik. Prices for the Myeik to Kawthoung leg start at around USD50. Flights may be cancelled with little or no advance notice, due to lack of bookings, the weather, or any number of other unpredictable circumstances. By boat[edit]Fast ferries run daily to/from Kawthoung (c. 6 hours, USD25-45 for foreigners) and most days to/from Dawei to the north (c. 4 hours, USD20-25 for foreigners). Ferries to Kawthoung depart around 07:30 while ferries to Dawei depart around 10:30 or so. Five Star Line passenger ships may call here (approximately fortnightly) en route from Kawthoung to Yangon and/or vice-versa. Five Star Line have an office opposite the main piers. Foreigners must pay very high prices (c. USD100+) but the first-class 2-berth cabins are quite comfortable. Get around[edit]On foot, or by motorcycle-taxi or cycle rickshaw. Longtail boats operate as ferries across the harbour. See[edit][add listing]
Do[edit][add listing]Buy[edit][add listing]Eat[edit][add listing]There is a food market by the water front in the evening. There are numerous small establishments with good food.
Drink[edit][add listing]Sleep[edit][add listing]There are several ultra-basic "guesthouses" in the area around the main piers, a few of which accept foreigners. Often, conditions are grim and prices for foreigners are astronomical. There are a couple of state run hotels. There is a very comfortable Western-operated (French) hotel a couple of km out of town on the main road heading north-east; prices here are reasonable.
The Mergui Hotel is a fair distance from the Strand Rd (tuk-tuk drivers will charge up to MYK4000 to get there) but is one of the nicer hotels in town and close to the airport (free shuttle service). It has fast Wi-Fi, a range of satellite channels and perfectly acceptable rooms. Prices start at USD40. Get out[edit]

Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison (Helen Mirren) investigates the connection between a teen's murder and a pedophile ring in this third installment of the acclaimed BBC series Prime Suspect. Reassigned to a new district and a new department -- vice -- Tennison is drawn back to homicide when her squad discovers the immolated body of rent boy Connie (Greg Saunders) in the flat of timid transsexual Vera Reynolds (Peter Capaldi). The trail soon leads to James Jackson (David Thewlis), a vicious pimp with mysterious connections to Edward Parker-Jones (Ciarán Hinds), the director of a youth shelter where young Connie hung out. Forced to work alongside her old nemesis Sgt. Bill Otley (Tom Bell), Tennison spars with her superiors, who want her to focus on vice and resolve her homicide investigation posthaste. But when a TV reporter (Kelly Hunter) shows up with evidence that Connie was going to provide her with the names of his famous clients, Tennison must race to uncover the real motivation behind Connie's murder. The only installment other than the first to be written by series creator Lynda LaPlante, Prime Suspect 3 was filmed for the BBC and originally aired stateside on PBS.

Electric vehicles approach the starting line
The electric RAV4 made by Tesla and Toyota will join an increasingly crowded field of electric vehicles. We take a look at the major models planned by large automakers and start-ups.
After being curiosities for decades, electric vehicles designed for everyday use are just around the corner.
Expect to start seeing more advertising for the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt as those cars come to market toward the end of this year and start of next. But there are many more electric cars under development from other major automakers and start-ups. See our photo gallery here .
Electric vehicles let you cut your oil addiction or, in the case of hybrids, scale back significantly. And, in general, they're fun to drive because they tend to have zippy, smooth acceleration.
But even with the excitement around electric cars, don't expect the trusty old internal combustion engine to die a quick death. The high cost of batteries and other electrical components will keep the prices for cars high for a while, and some consumers may not be willing to put up with the shorter range of all-electrics compared with hybrids.
Still, for those willing and able to go electric, the choices are growing--and within reach.

Time Trial Tech at the Liege Prologue
A Warm-Up With a Cool-Down Cycle
9 / 15
When riding on a trainer, riders don't have the benefit of cooling air moving over them. Cooling techniques were previously rare, but are far more common today. They range from simple (Sky had a fan and misters) to custom-made ice vests like the one worn here by world champion Tony Martin.

Israel: more alone than ever
President Obama's decision, now essentially official*, to appease Iran by doing nothing to help thwart the Assad regime has dire consequences for Syria. Tens of thousands of Syrians will continue to be slaughtered, many of them by barrel bombs dropped by planes the U.S. could have stopped from flying.

Romney Won't Run [Update]
Mitt Romney announced to his supporters this morning that he will not seek the GOP's 2016 presidential nomination. His reasons are a bit murky; he said that he wanted to "go out on top," and, currently leading in the polls, feels that he has done that. Whatever. It is a good decision and I applaud him for it.

Ammo Grrrll returns to share A COUPLE OF THINGS I KNOW FOR SURE ABOUT SEX. She writes: One: If you get caught on a plane called "The Lolita Express" or on a boat called "Monkey Business" (is there a train called "The Appalling Old Degenerate"?), you should have to wear a hat emblazoned with "Somehow My Weenie Ate My Brain!"

A Modest Proposal to Reduce "Inequality"
So Obama has had to abandon his plan to tax 529 college savings plans to pay for his "free" community college proposal, because lo and behold lots of middle class people are 529 savers. But Republicans could still enable Obama to pay for this proposal with a tax that actually hits the genuine rich: a surtax on large private college endowments—say on all endowments that are more than something like »
Did John Podesta commit a serious ethics violation?
Richard Pollock of the Daily Caller reports that John Podesta, a key adviser to President Obama, may have violated ethical rules by helping to formulate a new White House policy that seeks to end any future drilling for oil on Alaska's Artic National Wildlife Refuge. The ethical issue arises because just before he came to the White House, John Podesta was paid $87,000 by a foreign billionaire devoted to preventing »

The Kobane victory and the hard work Obama is unwilling to do
ISIS apparently has been defeated in the town of Kobane, Syria to which it laid siege months ago. The Obama administration hopes that this defeat will discourage potential recruits from joining ISIS. According to a senior State Department spokesman, the lesson for those considering enlistment is: You're not going to be a part of something great, you're not going to have a house, you're not going to have a female »
The Number One Mystery of Deflate-gate
Is Deflate-gate the dumbest story in the history of sports, or what? I suppose it is remotely possible that someone associated with the Patriots might have deflated some footballs, or perhaps it was sabotage by the Colts–after all, the Patriots played much better after halftime when the balls were re-inflated. But speculation about such skulduggery is hardly necessary. The NFL has been closemouthed about the facts its investigation has revealed »
Thank you for that non-answer, nominee
As I watched Loretta Lynch's testimony yesterday, I had the feeling I had seen this act before. Her approach to answering questions, her tone, and some of her word choices left me with a strong sense of deja vu. Only in the evening did I realize where I had seen Lynch's act. It was during the confirmation hearing of Cornelia Pillard, now a judge on the D.C. Circuit. Like Pillard, »
Civil War on the Left, Part 15
While the ruckus over Jon Chait's critique of PC grinds on (he's getting a lot more blowback form the Left than from me), I note with amusement another act of Leftist cannibalism taking place over in the UK. When I was coming of age back in the 1970s, one of the leading feminist intelletuals was Germaine Greer, author of The Female Eunuch. I recall her appearing on Buckley's Firing Line, »
The Hatch hemorrhage
Live blogging yesterday's Judiciary Committee hearing on the confirmation of Loretta Lynch as attorney general, Paul noted that Senator Hatch expressed his hopes that he would be able to vote to confirm Lynch. "I hope he won't," Paul added, "but after hearing his questioning, I fear he will." Last night Senator Hatch's press secretary sent us a message including a video (below) of Senator Hatch's questioning of Lynch. The press »

Is the Obama Administration Funding Opposition to Netanyahu?
We wrote here and here about the fact that the Obama administration is actively working to defeat Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu in that country's upcoming election.

He is working in conjunction for the foreign-funded organization "One Voice," which is leading the campaign to unseat Netanyahu and elect a leftist government. That One Voice collaborates with »
John McCain Speaks For Me On CodePink
This morning the Senate Armed Services Committee conducted a hearing at which Henry Kissinger was a witness. When Kissinger entered the committee chamber, a ragtag group of ten or so CodePink members stood up, holding signs and chanting "Arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes." One of them dangled a pair of handcuffs. The demonstrators were virtually standing over Kissinger, as for some reason the Capitol Police were absent or were »
The Bergdahl decision
Apart from the interest of the Obama administration in preserving appearances, it's hard to understand how Bowe Bergdahl might not be charged with desertion. President Obama staged a Rose Garden celebration to announce the swap of Bergdahl for hardened terrorist prisoners last year. Susan Rice stepped forward to praise Bergdahl's service despite the circumstances of his capture and the disgust of his fellow soldiers, but the powerful comments of those »
Johnson's short course on Iran
In the January 21 Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on our ongoing negotiations with Iran, Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken appeared as the principal witness. Treasury Under Secretary David Cohen also appeared in his last time around before he assumes responsibilities as CIA deputy director. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson questioned Blinken and Cohen over seven and a half minutes toward the end of the hearing. In the preface to »
Behind the White House's defense of the Taliban
As Scott discusses in the post immediately below, the Obama administration today claimed that the Taliban is an "armed insurrection" — you know, kind of like George Washington's Continental Army — not a terrorist group. It is therefore materially different, spokesperson Eric Schultz argued, from ISIS. Thus, it is okay for the U.S. to swap prisoners with the Taliban (see Bergdahl, Bowe), but not okay to make concessions to ISIS »

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
The beef.There are longer reviews, and great visual comparisons between cameras, sprouting up all over the web, so here I will be as brief as I can by talking about the features that matter, the differences from other cameras you will care about.Why the D7000?Nikon owners looking for an upgrade will find the highest level of Nikon DSLR quality here, short of getting a full frame model (the pricey D3 or D700). --It has 16MP. --True high ISO. It not only has settings for high ISO but at those settings the noise is remarkably low. --Convenience features. Like the new release mode dial, under the main dial with M, A, S, and P and so on, with quick access to self timer etc. --You can now preset entire ranges of settings for how you prefer to shoot and flip to those settings in a second on the main mode dial, a huge addition. --Full 1080p/24 video, which is the standard used on Blu-Ray video. --Stereo mic input jack, so you can get really really good sound with a simple external mic. (All internal microphones, stereo or mono as in the D7000, are pretty minimal.) --Quiet. Surprisingly quiet in normal mode, and it even has a "quiet" mode, which is even quieter (by unsynching some mechanical sounds so they don't occur at once, and so are spread out--very smart). --Dual SD cards. And choices about what to record on which, and when (normal or overflow, stills or video).Non-Nikon owners looking at Nikon for a switch will find competition mainly in the Canon 7D (though it is two hundred dollars more, it has similar specs, nitpick on this or that but reviews show highly competitive results, one or the other). The solution here is to decide which one feels better in the hand, which one has a natural layout for you. You have to go to a store and hold them to know. There is the Pentax K-5 and some Sony comparables, but they will always face the problem of a smaller system, fewer third party lenses that fit, and so on. If you just want a camera and are not worried about expanding, do go to dpreview.com and give the others a good look. (Lumix and Olympus I leave out for the simple reason they focus "by wire" which means not quite directly, and you don't see through the lens, but see a high quality LCD screen through the viewfinder. Perhaps that's the future, but it isn't up to snuff yet.)Compared to the D90:Whether you are a D90 owner (as I was) or you are looking at buying one, you'll want to know how this highly praised camera compares to the D7000. In short--very well. If you don't need the absolute latest, greatest results, the D90 at 2/3 the price is still very amazing. Here are some differences I have found that are worth noting. --D7000 is heavier. Not a big deal, maybe, until six hours of carrying. --D7000 has less noise at high ISO. True, and noticeable. I use Lightroom to do my RAW conversions (and if you want the most from your camera, shoot RAW, why not?). You'll need the latest 3.3 version, which you can download (it's still in its trial mode as for November 25, 2010). --D7000 has noticeably better video. Quite visible! Not only is the resolution higher, but the noise in those all too common low light shots is cleaner and more restrained. The autofocus while shooting video is a completely new feature, and it works, with the usual hit or miss now and then. So far I have no gripes about that. Use a good lens. --D7000 costs more. This matters to most of us. A lot. I think you can be perfectly professional with a D90, a good lens or two, an external flash if you use flash, and a tripod. But if you can swing the extra money, you'll see that 5 or 10% edge in every little way--image quality, handling, quietness, convenience. It's just 5 or 10%. But sometimes that's everything.Compared to the D300 (or D300s):This is Nikon's next level up the professional line, but it has very similar specs to the D7000, and is slightly older technology (the D7000 has the most advanced sensor of any DX, not full frame, Nikon). The D300 is heavier, has crummier video, costs a lot more, and is just not a good idea unless you are a very rough, daily shooter and you need the physical strength of a tank. The D7000 is a metal based body that will take normal banging around no problem. Overall image quality:I teach photography at the college level (and have for 25 years). I really do believe that two opposing philosophies are both true: 1) it's not the equipment that matters, it's the photographer 2) you should always use the best best equipment you can afford.I know many people who have expensive cameras and take boring pictures, and I know many people who take terrific pictures with ordinary equipment. But the people I know who take the very best pictures, the most interesting and most beautiful and most demanding pictures, use top notch equipment. This has been true historically, and it's true now. The image quality of the D7000 is unsurpassed for the money, and almost unsurpassed for any money. For any normal shooting, it will be the best you can get. Is that simple enough? So, if you can afford a D7000, you should buy one. There is no better Nikon. If you want to sweep up the best Sony, Pentax, and Canon cameras that aren't full frame into the comparison, there is nothing clearly better than the D7000. Is there anything similar? Yes, certainly! There always is. But if you DO decide on the D7000, you will equal or supass the best money can buy for 2010 or easily into early 2011 (if not beyond, of course). Don't worry one bit. It's very solid, made to be durable for semi-pro or pro, daily use, and has cutting edge specifications.In addition, you should also buy really sharp lenses. Read the reviews--Nikon lenses are usually the best, but I can't afford them, so I have the higher quality, moderately expensive off brand ones (a Tokina, a Tamron, and a Sigma, one each, around $500 each). Spend the money on better lenses if you can. Nikon brand lenses in particular will not lose their value over the years, so keep the boxes and think of them as investments. A last emotional response that's hard to quantify --the D7000 is a joy to use. It has worked out so many kinks from the early days (I remember loving my D70 years ago, and my D40, which is still a classic camera in my view, but only 6MP). And this just feels good, has a terrific viewfinder, is quiet and very very fast, and makes good logical sense.

We had stayed in the hotel for our honeymoon and were thoroughly happy with our experience.
The staff is very friendly and we felt very welcomed from the beginning with our encounters with valet and reception. Valet parking is required for all guests and is included as part of the daily resort fees, which we did not mind at all.
The hotel welcomed us with a complimentary bottle of champagne along with complimentary tastings of macadamia nuts in our hotel room. The room itself was nicely sized and the king bed was so fluffy and warm, it was the most comfortable bed ever! We were also extremely happy with the size of the shower and the fact that there were double showerheads in our bathroom.
Our room was on the first floor and it overlooked and opened into the pool and ocean area - we loved being on the first floor because we had our own reclining chair and it also gave us easy access to the pool / beach area. We were able to enjoy sunset dinners in our lanai - I would recommend staying on the first floor for those reasons.
Breakfast at the hotel's restaurant Red Salt was great. We loved loved the waffles there, served with crushed macadamia nuts and accompanied with a duo of coconut and maple syrups - (we also tried their lemon souffle pancakes and I personally prefer the crunchiness of the waffles over the softness of the pancakes).
My husband was able to take a surf lesson that was offered by the hotel. I would recommend to book in advance as there are only 4 slots per session, and two sessions per day.
We also took advantage of the spa services and had a couple's oceanside massage. The cabana was right by the entrance to the beach and for most of the 80 minute session we were in harmony with the sounds of the ocean and the great hands of our masseuses.
Overall we absolutely loved our stay at the hotel - what a great way to start off our romantic honeymoon!

GodisaGeek: "The best possible Football Manager game lays between the two modes, and in the years to come the gap will close between them. Sports Interactive will also face increasing pressure to add the ability to cross-save between all versions of the game, and package some versions together – a free mobile download with the PC game, for instance.
Another thing SI will have to be wary of is complacency. Football Manager has no real direct competition, and that can only cause problems in the long run. For now, however, Football Manager remains a top game and the best of its kind. It suits all comers, and is the most complete management sim yet."

It's interesting to drive this car after we've recently had in a Nissan Sentra SE-R. After all, both are front-wheel-drive compacts that have been sported up, and both were about $23K. This car is $23,500, and I prefer it. It has a lot more style and presence than the Sentra SE-R, and it's much more fun to drive, partly because it has a five-speed manual. Our test car was larded with some expensive options, most notably a set of very, very cool black TRD 18-inch wheels with Toyo sport tires. The $600 TRD exhaust is just about right: not too noisy, but noisy enough. I'd much rather have this exhaust from TRD than from the aftermarket. I've always liked the tC; I think it's a nice combination of sportiness and practicality, with its hatchback. After several years on the road, it also still looks very good. Ergonomics are very straightforward. I'm not exactly sure why they felt the need to have a lid for the stereo system, but I suppose it looks kinda cool when it's shut, and this car is all about looking cool.
One of my favorite features, actually, is an insert into the cupholder that was very clearly designed to hold a cell phone. Very useful, very obvious. Everyone has a cell phone and everyone needs a place to put it when they get in the car.

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
No growing company survives and prospers without some debt component on its balance sheet whether it's a small loan from family or friends or a line of credit from a regional commercial lender.
Executed well, franchising can be a solution to the challenge of harvesting intellectual capital to achieve the goal of driving business growth. If it is right for your company, consider making it work, the author says.
If met thoughtfully and thoroughly, challenges faced by entrepreneurial companies in the life sciences can be turned into opportunities for significant economic gain and a lasting contribution to mankind.
Outsourcing provides a solution to a wide variety of tasks that may not be efficient for a company to handle itself, especially an early-stage business that needs to focus on its top priorities.
Given rapidly moving changes in our marketplace, the challenge for the entrepreneurial company is how and when to grow. And this leads to other major questions that can be difficult to answer. What strategies should be used to facilitate growth? How do you know whether these strategies are appropriate for your business?
This introduction provides a basic overview of buy-sell agreements and describes the three basic types.
A buy-sell agreement that properly anticipates all of the challenges and dynamics of rapid expansion is a must. The author asserts many entrepreneurs often are so excited to get the company started that the details typically addressed in a buy-sell agreement are overlooked.
Entrepreneurs going abroad for sales can protect their IP through an international protocol called the Madrid System. This system allows entrepreneurs to eliminate the need to file separate patent protection applications in each country where trademark protection is required and where they wish to conduct business.
Before attempting to obtain a patent, entrepreneurs can use this ten-point checklist to determine if the benefits of protecting an invention outweigh the costs of prosecuting and protecting it under a patent.
Entrepreneurs often fail to take inventory of the Intellectaul property assets they have developed and as a result tend to under-leverage these assets. To ensure continued business growth, it is critical for entrepreneurs to consider a periodic intellectual property audit and strategic analysis.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for allowing me to serve as your Congressman. I was born and raised in Queens and having the chance to represent my friends, neighbors and all the people of Brooklyn and Queens in the 9th Congressional District has been a great honor.
As a lifelong resident of this area, my office's primary focus has been on serving you. In just a few short months after the special election, we answered a backlog of letters, emails and casework as well as opened the first full-time Brooklyn district office. I am extremely proud of the hard work my staff did for people throughout the district. We were able to help current and future generations of our military by ensuring veterans receive the benefits they are rightfully entitled to and awarded the medals they deserve.
Over the past year, I worked closely with the Army Corps of Engineers to highlight the poor shoreline conditions.We were able to secure homeland security funding, address transportation and infrastructure issues and help remove the Cross Bay Bridge toll. We fought for more choices in education, to protect our allies abroad, to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, fought against religious discrimination, pushed for tax relief for small businesses and individuals, fought for pro-job growth legislation, worked to get the deficit under control and helped thousands impacted by Hurricane Sandy.
There were many things that tested our spirit and resolve over the last couple of years. But nothing speaks to how strong our resilience as New Yorkers is more than how we once again came together after Sandy. Many of you put your personal tragedies aside in order to help your neighbors. In the days after the storm subsided, communities banded together to provide the assistance and services that the government was unable to. I was touched by how many of you made great sacrifices to help those in need.
While our country still faces many great obstacles and politicians continue to hold differences in opinion, I still believe we live in the greatest country in the world. And as long as we continue to stand with our neighbors love our family, and remain proud of our country, the American dream will stay alive.
Bob Turner is the former Representative for New York's 9th Congressional District.

The 49% absentees might hint "a disillusionment with the political parties that have come to power since the 2003 American-led invasion". . . . but maybe not.
We should keep our fingers crossed. The moment of truth will come when the last US soldier left Iraq. A little more tolerance towards Christian and Jewish minorities (and non-believers) . . . and Iraq might be on a good path.
In order to be a functional country, the central state must establish a monopoly on sanctioned violence. I believe that the Iraqi government is finally beginning to do that, in a convincing enough manner to discourage resistance groups from acting more aggressively.
I think Reigal is absolutely right about Al Maliki. Not only was his Basra campaign a military success, it also demonstrated both that the Iraqi government was capable of acting independent of American forces, and that its loyalties were not sectarian, or limited only to Shiah muslims.
Al Maliki is turning out to be one of the most underestimated leaders in modern middle Eastern politics. Only a year ago he was being dissmissed as a non-entity yet he is the cusp of snatching an unlikely victory from the bowels of abject failure.
The defining moment was his decision to stand up to the thuggish militias of Sadr in Basra and then Sadr city. Operation `Charge of the Knights' was so devastatingly succesful that Sadr himself, a bully of a uniquely Iraqi type who once swaggered with menace, begged Al-maliki to stop demolishing his organisation "we're all brothers" whined Sadr.
There is also some justice in Dawah becoming the ruling party. They were the only party that fought Saddam Hussein on the streets of Baghdad ever since he came to power in 1980. Dawah activists were routinely shown on Saddam's TV just before they were executed. The rest of the Shia groups were sucking the Shisha in Tehran. Dawah deserves to rule for a little while.
Maliki's next move should be to return Iraq to its natural secular state.
Maliki's list won in 8 of the 14 provinces but wo no majority. Te most he got was 38% in Baghdad down to only 10.9% in Muthanna. His list will have to form coalitions to rule, that might come from the Sadrists who don't like Dawa, but dislike the Supreme Council even more. There will be real battles for nominating governors, dep. gov., heads of councils, etc. Maliki is comig out stronger. The push for an autonomous south is probably dead, he'll have friendly coalitions to bac his place for a stronger central government, and his opposition is weakened. Anbar will be up in arms for a little while as the tribes holler about how they didn't get as many votes as they thought they would. It will be coalition rule there as well with the Islamic Party and independent Alusi's party instead of a tribal sweep. In Diyala and Salahaddin the Islamic Party came out front. A new party al-Hadbaa took Ninewa. They ran on an anti-Kurdish plank but don't have a majority either so ironically will have to form an alliance with the Kurds to rule. That will probably deadlock the council. The most important fact is whether any of these new politicians will do any better than the old ones that were generally incompetent, untrained, corrupt, cronies, and sectarian. Baghdad is going to cut their budget by 50% already because of the drop in oil prices so they're starting in the hole already. For more see: musingsoniraq.blogspot.com
The fact of the matter is that these elections were relatively peaceful and (one hopes) relatively fair for Iraq. If the losers accept their losses and there is no real evidence of fraud then we are one step closer on a very agonizing road to normality in Iraq.
All should take a deep breath. This is a local council election and not general election. 51% is respectable for local vote by British standards at least!
A 51% turn out? Are the Iraqis already at the level of cynical disinterest of mature democracy's citizens?

Nina Forever event at the BFI
We're hugely looking forward to our Inside Comedy: Nina Forever day at BFI Southbank next Saturday 18th May. It's a unique opportunity to look behind the scenes of the hotly anticipated first feature by BAFTA nominees and Screen Stars of Tomorrow the Blaine brothers, during the post-production of the film.
The cast and crew will be discussing their performances, there will also be sessions with the production designer and the DOP, and of course the writers/directors Chris and Ben Blaine, who will be hosting a unique live editing session looking at an unfinished scene, and sharing unseen footage.
We'll be talking to award-winning film makers Destiny Ekaragha (director, Gone Too Far) and producer Annalise Davis (producer, Up There) about the challenge of making your first feature, and we're thrilled to welcome legendary British film-maker and author Chris Petit, director of Radio On and other classics, in conversation with the Blaine brothers, who have been hugely influenced by his work.
It's a perfect day for film fans, film-makers, actors and industry insiders, and there will be lots of opportunities to meet the cast, crew and other film-makers over coffee, lunch and evening drinks.
You can still buy tickets here for just £45 (including lunchtime num nums)
Thank you to everyone at BFI Southbank, to our friends at Shooting People and Film London, and to Creative Skillset, who support LOCO Training through the Creative Skillset Film Skills Fund.

The Safeway Foundation Helps Fight Childhood Obesity With $2 Million For Research And Prevention Programs
PLEASANTON, Calif., Sept. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Safeway Foundation announced today it is giving $2 million to community health programs and hospitals to launch grass-roots projects for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.
The "Innovative Approaches to Preventing Childhood Obesity" grants are a part of an overall outreach and commitment to community health that has become synonymous with Safeway Inc., one of the largest supermarket companies in the U.S.
"Our commitment is to strengthen communities, create pioneering programs, expand services and implement new strategies to support the health of children and teens," said Larree Renda, Safeway Executive Vice President and Chair of the Safeway Foundation. "These funds will allow doctors, researchers and others in the medical and healthcare communities to launch effective new programs and evaluate the effectiveness of existing ones with the goal of helping children live happier, healthier lives."
The Safeway Foundation's partner in this effort is Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland in Northern California. In early 2012, the partners invited organizations to apply for grants of up to $100,000 for grass-roots childhood obesity projects in the geographic areas served by Safeway, Vons, Pavilions, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Carrs and Dominick's stores. Specifically, they looked to promote collaborations between the medical community and local community-based agencies to help children become more physically active, improve food choices and create better access to healthy foods. More than 150 organizations applied for funding.
Some of the more unique and ambitious programs to receive funding include:- Children's Hospital Foundation ( Washington, D.C.) — George Washington Medical School and the Washington, D.C. schools are also participants in this program which trains medical school students to act as health mentors for school children.
- University of Houston ( Texas) College of Education — Funds will expand an existing intervention program for hundreds of girls in their communities. The after-school program consists of daily physical activity by a fitness coordinator, nutrition education by a registered dietician and cooking classes with a professional chef. Parents attend weekly sessions. The program also includes grocery store tours, a 5K run, a speaker series and cooking demonstrations.
- Tri-City Health Center ( Fremont, CA) — Funds will allow 60 children and their families to participate in the "Eat Well, Live Active" pediatric obesity intervention program. This new partnership with the Fremont/Newark YMCA provides crucial nutritional counseling and education services as well as a robust fitness curriculum to overweight and obese children ages 9-13, as well as their siblings who are also at risk for becoming overweight or obese.
- Cooper Institute ( Dallas, TX) — This research project will evaluate the health impact of a nutrition and fitness video game, "Quest To Lava Mountain," on players. The project is the result of a unique partnership of the country's premiere institutes for preventative medicine and the National Football League, which promotes childhood fitness through its "NFL Play 60" program. Working with participating schools and The University of Texas School of Public Health, the team will also evaluate the game's ability to affect positive change on the players' families and, in turn, their communities.

My reason is I have an entire rock wall back and waterfalls, and it is really difficult to get a safety cover, so last year we used a tarp which looked like crap for 8 months out of the year. If anyone has any feedback on this, I would appreciate it. |

If it is Gunite many folks in New England do not cover theirs. I know someone that has kids that Ice Skate on it in the winter. |
