Great price Close to airport with free shuttle good buffet breakfast English speaking front-desk
United States of America
Got a great upgrade to a two room suite with 1-1/2 baths, which was greatly appreciated after a 13 hour flight. The extra 1/2 bath was very convenient. Very helpful and nice staff. Bed was comfortable, which made for a good nights sleep.
United States of America
Best bed of any hotel I stayed at in China. They said because I booked with "booking.com" they upgraded my room to a suite, which was awesome. The pool was nice, although an outdoor pool would have been better, and the breakfast was pretty elaborate.
United States of America
Very good location 15 minutes from the airport and an easy to find shuttle right outside door #5, ground level at Terminal 3. Not a luxurious hotel but quite good and reasonably priced for Beijing. Very good young man at check in - I was very impressed.

staff friendliness
United States of America
The staff was very friendly and helpful. We appreciated the help in arranging a cab to take us to and from downtown so we could do some sightseeing in the limited time that we had in Beijing. The bus service to the airport was very efficient. We also really liked the bed in our room.

Very good
The reason I booked this hotel was that the 48 bar was smoking (this is still on the website) when I arrived I found that this bar was and had closed for some months, Yes I could have used room service but as a single traveler it's nice to meet other people of the same nature and exchange stories. Please if you indicate that it is open then make sure that it is. Other than that the staff and management were first class .
Smoking bar was closed
there is a nice sportsbar , with tv so is good when your on your own.
Courteous staff. Helpful concierge: he arranged for my son and I to have personal tour to Great Wall. Hotel made our 30 hour layover from Singapore to USA a breeze. Luxury Hotel. Airport Shuttle bus was a big plus.
Overall took great care of me. Very pleased!
Prices for meals were high- even by US standards. They were not in a location where I could walk elsewhere to purchase food.
Facilities in the room was okay I also enjoyed the breakfast
Ni free wifi in the room it was very frustrating had to call the reception a number of times before I was able to connect
Good location, free transfer to airport, service, as owner of loyalty card and using booking I received quite nice room upgrade
I was here only for one night that is why it's hard to share more detail opinion.
Standard of service really excellent. Very welcoming and helpful. Upgraded to a suite on arrival. Would definitely recommend. Location is a compromise - good for the airport and good as my friend lived nearby but long journey downtown although subway station very close by provides good - if busy - link.
- Could made a fast booking - Airport transport every 30m. - Clean room
- Its not that near from the airport. around 4km. 15-20m by their car. - Expensive internet (15€/day) and slow, even to Chinese websites. For 25€/month you get 6mb in Beijing.. could not understand so unreliable service for such price. - Went to the lobby bar, asked for a "Glass" of Vodka (48rmb) .. and received a shot of vodka inside a glass, ridiculous amount of beverage. Hotel accepted the complain and sorted out some more drink in the glass. - Indications about the Airport transfer should be received upon booking. This kind of hotels are used just because the Airport proximity.
The pool area and gym
The food was very poor and service from the staff also. On two occasions ordered a meal for it to turn up incorrect. But mainly the food selection and overall taste of the food was very poor. We had to be moved on 4 occasions one room had a broken blind. the 2nd room had dust all over the furniture. the 3rd room also a broken blind and the 4th was ok. At this point I almost checked out and left the hotel it was that bad.
- Friendly and helpful staff - Well equipped room
Elegant , comfortable surroundings. Room similar.Breakfast gave plenty of choices to suit both local and international tastes. Helpful Staff. I would highly recommend. Convenient for the airport on my layover.
The staff were very good, the food was even better, nice pool and great service.
Location was good if you want to be close to the airport, the rooms were dated, not what I expected. If you are on the north side it is noisy.
Hotel with Nice location.efficient airport shuttle bus.got update with my room when checking in as I booked through booking.com and got free wifi in my room with was handy.business centre free of charge for my boarding pass print.got free drink in the lobby bar...
Some guest behind me got checking in first.
hotel suite was excellent, and well decorated. Good bed, clean room and nice personell.
no free Wi-Fi in the room???? paid for Wi-Fi is outdated, even supermarkets offer free Wi-Fi connection, so charging approx. € 6,00 for it is a bit strange. other than that, nothing to complain about!
I had a fabulous room but that is not realistic because I got a free upgrade to a junior suite. The room itself was a bit humid, but not smelly. The front desk was OK. Although I arrived late at night the information they gave me was accurate. The breakfast was ok.
Distance to terminal 3 was longer then I expected. Be aware that the departure shuttle service always starts delivering passengers at T3 , then T2 and then T1. So if you have to go to T1 you need to calculate at least 30 min drive. The front yard with foutain needs maintenance, does not look nice at the entrance. As a clubmember I got free WiFi network, but it didn't work.
It is a very good stopover when you have an early flight. Location excellent in terms of proximity to the airport. Free shuttle every hour.
Food is not great and it is very expensive. The location is bad for trips to Beijing Centre.
Close to Beijing Capital Airport. Room was very good with many facilities - probably too many for an overnight stay between planes. Good breakfast.
Had dinner in the Jingtai Palace Restaurant. Food acceptable thought they didn't have my first choice main course - service poor for a restaurant that wasn't busy.
the bed
had to wait for 30min at the Terminal (T2) and then it took another 30min to get to the hotel which is terribly remote; i would not recommend it for overnight stays at Beijing airport - there is at least one hotel (L) that is way better in all aspects including the price;
Great price Close to airport with free shuttle good buffet breakfast English speaking front-desk
Getting a taxi took awhile
Specious room & amenity goods
Surprised to have a cup of hot water at the Chinese restaurant at the hotel. They should serve a pot of Chinese tea.
Nice clean and quiet environment. Close to the airport. Great breakfast.

What is that: Traffic control devices make trial conversion more realistic
Fargo - Some drivers along a downtown corridor have wondered about the purpose behind traffic control devices that popped up this summer.
The city of Fargo installed temporary rubber curbs and flexible delineators along NP Avenue, west of Broadway, to make a trial conversion of NP Avenue to a two-lane roadway more realistic, according to a city news release.

Zamia Coontie Palm (cycad)
I was in the local Walmarts the last couple of days and for the FIRST TIME they have cold hardy palms. With the cold hardy palms they have a Coontie Palm - which seems to be a species of cycad. The research I have seen from this says zone 9 - can anyone give me any insight?
They are very nice cycads, but not very cold tolerant. Im sure it can handle some light frosts and temps in the 20s with leaf damage, but I dont think it can handle anything much lower than 25. Still a really nice potted plant. How much are they selling for?
Darkman, the Coontie and Cardboard palm are both Zamias. Coontie, of course is a Florida native and cold hardier. I have to replace another cardboard due to cold damage. My Sago palms (Cycas revoluta),Dioon edule, and Encepalartos are fine as usual but the Cardboard has real issues with prolonged
chill even if frostfree). Next year I'm overwintering the Cardboard in the house rather than the sunny garage. Good luck!
Coontie seedlings are available now on ebay for $1.50 each. Nurseries usually charge at least $20 per plant. Coonties are very slow growing and difficult to transplant due to a large taproot. Coontie seeds are plentiful now, but not the easiest to germinate. I've tried a few times with little success.
The Cardboard palm I reported on April 3rd is now two plants and each one has recovered nicely and each has about fifteen leaves which are about 2 1/2 foot long. Prior to the 2010 freeze it probably had a total of sixty leaves. It was thick enough I did not know it was two plants. I plan to divide it. It survived two weeks of sub freezing, many nights of up to five hours below freezing and two nights that the temperature hit 19.
First time with Coontie plants, planted two of them outside my pool cage. Mostly sunny southern facing area. They were fine till the cold hit us last week for 2 nights. I thought they were cold hardy, so I did not cover them, as I was short on "plankets" and sheets! They used to be green. Now they are brown. Does anyone know if they will turn green again? Are the leaves that turned brown definately dead? If I took off all of the brown fronds, there would be about 1 leaf left. I bought at Home Depot, and I saved receipts so I could dig up and return/replace

Katya Kabanova, London
Anguished, lacerating, irredeemably tragic, David Alden's new production of Katya Kabanova presents a drama of unalleviated suffering and unremitting bleakness.
Gaetano Donizetti and Malcolm Arnold might seem odd operatic bedfellows, but this double bill by the Guildhall School of Music and Drama offered a pair of works characterised by 'madness, misunderstandings and mistaken identity' which proved witty, sparkling and imaginatively realised.
Saturday, February 28, 2015, was the first night for Los Angeles Opera's revival of its 2009 presentation of The Barber of Seville, a production by Emilio Sagi, which comes originally from Teatro Real in Madrid in cooperation with Lisbon's Teatro San Carlos. Sagi and onsite director, Trevor Ross, made comedy the focus of their production and provided myriad sight gags which kept the audience laughing.
Commenting on her recent, highly acclaimed CD release of late-nineteenth-century song, Chansons Perpétuelles (Naive: V5355), Canadian contralto Marie-Nicole Lemieux remarked 'it's that intimate side that interests me I wanted to emphasise the genuinely embodied, physical side of the sensuality [in Fauré]'.
An evening of strange-bedfellow one-acts in high-concept stagings, mindbogglingly delightful.
On February 19, 2015, Pacific Symphony presented its annual performance of a semi-staged opera. This year's presentation at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, California, featured Georges Bizet's Carmen. Director Dean Anthony used the front of the stage and a few solid set pieces by Scenic Designer Matt Scarpino to depict the opera's various scenes.
Although the English National Opera has been decidedly sparing with its Wagner for quite some time now, its recent track record, leaving aside a disastrous Ring, has perhaps been better than that at Covent Garden.
On Friday February 20, 2015, San Diego Opera presented Mozart's Don Giovanni in a production by Nicholas Muni originally seen at Cincinnati Opera.
In a production first seen in Houston several years ago, and now revised by its director John Caird, Puccini's Tosca has returned to Lyric Opera of Chicago with two casts, partially different, scheduled into March of the present season.
Henri Dutilleux's music has its devotees. I am yet to join their ranks, but had no reason to think this was not an admirable performance of his song-cycle Correspondances.
In 1980, the Metropolitan Opera commissioned composer John Corigliano to write an opera celebrating the company's one-hundredth anniversary. It was to be ready in 1983.
English National Opera's revival of Peter Konwitschny's production of Verdi's La Traviata had many elements in common with the production's original outing in 2013 (The production was a co-production with Opera Graz, where it had debuted in 2011).
You might believe you could go to an opera and take in what you see at face value. But if you did that just now in Lyon you would have had no idea what was going on.
I wonder whether we need a new way of thinking — and talking — about operatic 'revivals'. Perhaps the term is more meaningful when it comes to works that have been dead and buried for years, before being rediscovered by subsequent generations.
Hopefully this brilliant new production of Iphigénie en Tauride from the Grand Théâtre de Genève will find its way to the new world now that Gluck's masterpiece has been introduced to American audiences.
Tristan first appeared on the stage of the Théâtre du Capitole in 1928, sung in French, the same language that served its 1942 production even with Wehrmacht tanks parked in front of the opera house.
Arizona Opera presented Eugene Onegin during and 1999-2000 season and again on February 1 of this year as part of the 2014-2015 season. In this country Onegin is not a crowd pleaser like La Bohème or Carmen, but its story is believable and its music melodic and memorable. Just hum the beginning of the "Polonaise" and your friends will know the music, if not where it comes from.
Florian Boesch and Roger Vignoles at the Wigmore Hall in Ernst Krenek's Reisebuch aus den österreichischen Alpen. Matthias Goerne has called Hanns Eisler's Hollywooder Liederbuch the Winterreise of the 20th century. Boesch and Vignoles showed how Krenek's Reisebuch is a journey of discovery into identity at an era of extreme social change. It is a parable, indeed, of modern times.
Lyric Opera of Chicago's new Anna Bolena, a production shared with Minnesota Opera, features a distinguished cast including several notable premieres.
On Tuesday January 27, 2015, San Diego Opera presented Giacomo Puccini's La Boheme. It is the opera with which the company opened in 1965 and a work that the company has faithfully performed every five years since then.
Last year we tracked Orfeo on his desperate search for his lost Euridice, through the labyrinths and studio spaces of Central St Martin's; this year we were plunged into Macbeth's tragic pursuit of power in the bare blackness of the CSM's Platform Theatre.
Anguished, lacerating, irredeemably tragic, David Alden's new production of Katya Kabanova presents a drama of unalleviated suffering and unremitting bleakness.
Therein, perhaps, lies the one weakness in this powerful and impressive staging. For Janačék's opera, while admittedly melancholic and menacing, contains contrasting moments of ecstatic joy, matched by melting sonic radiance — moments which resonate with gleams of light and colour, but which were almost wholly subdued by the sinister grey tones of Alden's vision.
Alden knows this territory well, as his 2006 Jenůfa and more
recent Peter Grimes testify. The slanted perspective of the steeply
raked set, lend an air of edginess. Sudden and extreme changes of lighting
(designed by Adam Silverman) cast monstrous shadows across the immense expanses
of the bare, decrepit stage, its distressed emptiness broken only by a lone
chair, a single lamp-post. All seems somewhat familiar … And indeed, as
an abstract portrait of torment and pain, it serves its purpose well. Yet, the
very vastness of this landscape makes it difficult to convey the claustrophobic
tension which suffocates the eponymous protagonist. Set in a stifling,
provincial community, Katya Kabanova relates the persecution and
destruction of a pure heart; Katya battles with her inner demons and struggles
against the mean-spirited hypocrisy of the mercantile Russian villagers who
judge her. It is the explosive shattering of the chains that bind her soul and
body that destroys the village's self-righteous complacency, and propels
Katya to tragedy — Ostrovsky's play, on which the opera is based,
is aptly called 'The Storm'. But Charles Edward's design,
which suggests the infinite vistas of the Siberian steppes, does not capture
the constriction and restriction which is both within and without the tragic
Alfie Boe as Vanya Kudrjas and Anna Grevelius as Varvara
The characterisation of Katya by American soprano, Patricia Racette, making her debut at ENO, was in accord with Alden's expressionistic conception. Her total isolation was sustained throughout, her psychological and spiritual distance from the other characters and her yearning for escape suggested by her frequent positioning at the furthest edges of the stage. Isolation increasingly became self-absorption; separated by the entire width of the stage, Katya and her lover, Boris (Stuart Skelton), seemed emotionally disconnected — Racette's Katya is more in love with love than with this weak, pitiful merchant. Confident and sure throughout, Racette was certainly technically in command of the role. Yet, when Katya sings to Varvara in Act 1 of her youthful dreams, her melody should float and soar as easily and freely as the birds she has longed to emulate. Racette's strong tone, together with a tense, close vibrato, seemed too mature, and lacked the sweetness and air of fragility which might express her essential innocence.
Janačék's compression of Ostrovsky's drama does to some extent render the characters one-dimensional. But Alden, and his costume designer, Jon Morrell, take this one step further, and reduce nearly all the other roles to caricatures. A floor-length black cloak hiding a glittering red gown, topped with a threatening, pointed headpiece, Susan Bickley's Kabanicha is a terrifying figure of authority and intimidate — the stereotypical butt of all mother-in-law jokes, she resembles a vicious Lady Macbeth, dominating and demeaning all. Bickley's full, true tone fortunately prevented this harridan from sounding as well as looking shrew-like; but, should she really so openly acknowledge her own hypocrisy and sexual avarice, brazenly turning the disapproving gaze of a religious icon to the wall before subjecting the willing Dikoy (Clive Bayley) to some degrading sexual bullying?
Susan Bickley as Marfa Kabanicha and John Graham-Hall as Tikhon Ivanich KabanovThe men, on the whole, were a pitiful and contemptible bunch. Both Boris and Tikhon are weak-willed, self-preserving specimens. Skelton sang lyrically, but his tone was rather lifeless — there was little to suggest that he could inspire Katya to such heights of passion. John Grahan Hall's Tikhon was a wretched victim of his mother's oppression, and at times he communicated the pathos of his situation, although like Bayley's Dikoy, his mannerisms were frequently too exaggerated and over-blown. It was left to Anna Grevelius as Varvara and Alfie Boe as Kudrjas to introduce some convincing humanity into this community of grotesques. The brightness and energy of their singing injected a convincing sense of fun and spirit, Boe's warm tone in particular conveying the optimism of youth. The healthy, down-to-earth practicality of this pair of lovers presented a stark contrast to the self-destructive, dreamy solipsism of Katya and the directionless ineptitude of Boris.
From the opening bars, where muted lower strings tenderly evoke Katya's purity of spirit and the frailty of her hopes, as well as the dark depth of the river which will claim both, Mark Wigglesworth draw from his orchestra playing of exceptional clarity and rhythmic vitality. The layered textures of Janačék's driving motifs were expertly constructed, each melodic pattern contributing to the meaning of the whole. Wigglesworth effectively built up the tension in Act 3, confidently controlling both the rhythmic onslaught and the silences, as the drama lurched to its bitter conclusion.
Patricia Racette as Katerina Kabanova, Susan Bickley as Marfa Kabanicha, John Graham-Hall as Tikhon Ivanich Kabanov and Anna Grevelius as VarvaraOn stage, in contrast to this detailed musical drama, the semiotics were unashamedly blatant. A vast propaganda poster depicting a Munch-like impression of hell prophesised damnation, its fall to the ground foreshadowing Katya's own suicidal descent into the waters of the Volga. Why does she confess and leap into the treacherous waters? Katya is a victim not just of her own conscience. In such a soul-destroying, emotionally-deadened world, her innate life-spirit and passion can only find an outlet in religious devotion. And, she is watched and judged not just by God but by the Kabanicha and the village she represents. Thus, Katya is sacrificed to preserve a self-satisfied and repressive regime. However, in Alden's view, Katya is as alone in death as she has been in life. Having reduced the repressive village to a few grotesque eccentrics, even the latter are distanced at the close, emotionally removed from the human loss which is so profoundly and poignantly conveyed in the music.

A Letter from Our Mailbox

Melbourne, FL 32936
Dear Lawrence,
I read your cruel and unloving comments against my friends at Aware Woman Center for Witchcraft and I am outraged! As the pastor of the First Church of the Seabreeze, I feel that it is my duty to tell you that your comments have set the Wiccan-Christian common ground movement back to the Dark Ages. Your crusade against their church is nothing more than a witch hunt!
Just where do you get off persecuting these people anyway! My good friend Patricia Weird-Bindle, of the pro-choice Wiccan movement, says that your comments in last Sunday's Sentinel have caused her to suffer innumerable instances of persecution, nastiness and meanness. Since last Sunday, she has been pelted with grapefruits, tangelos, passion-fruits, kiwis, watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers, under-ripe kumquats and jalapeños.
Furthermore, your comments are offensive to all members of my church who also happen to be Wiccans. So stop giving these witches such a hard time! After all, it's their right under the U.S. Constitution to worship in the church of their choice. Even though I don't agree with some of their theology, these people have the right to worship wherever they want. If you don't stop your nastiness, pretty soon the government will revoke the church's tax exempt status. And then where will we be? We'll have to get involved in politics, that's where!
You are taking all the love out of the Christian message and wanting to replace it with the Ten Commandments. So I ask you in the name of Christian love – Stop this witch hunt!
Yours very truly,
Rev. Ken Blabbermouth

The Abortion Matrix: Defeating Child Sacrifice and the Culture of Death (DVD)
Download the free Study Guide!
Is there a connection between pagan religion and the abortion industry?
This powerful presentation traces the biblical roots of child sacrifice and then delves into the social, political and cultural fall-out that this sin against God and crime against humanity has produced in our beleaguered society.
Conceived as a sequel and update to the 1988 classic, The Massacre of Innocence, the new title, The Abortion Matrix, is entirely fitting. It not only references abortion's specific target – the sacred matrix where human beings are formed in the womb in the very image of God, but it also implies the existence of a conspiracy, a matrix of seemingly disparate forces that are driving this holocaust.
The occult activity surrounding the abortion industry is exposed with numerous examples. But are these just aberrations, bizarre yet anomalous examples of abortionists who just happen to have ties to modern day witchcraft? Or is this representative of something deeper, more sinister and even endemic to the entire abortion movement?
As the allusion to the film of over a decade ago suggests, the viewer may learn that things are not always as they appear to be. The Abortion Matrix reveals the reality of child-killing and strikes the proper moral chord to move hearts to fulfill the biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
Speakers include: George Grant, Peter Hammond, RC Sproul Jr., Paul Jehle, Lou Engle, Rusty Thomas, Flip Benham, Janet Porter and many more.

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Download the Free Study Guide!
Just what is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten "Sunday-school-sized" sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.

The Silent Scream (DVD) Eight Languages
"When the lives of the unborn are snuffed out, they often feel pain, pain that is long and agonizing." – President Ronald Reagan to National Religious Broadcasters Convention, January 1981
Ronald Reagan became convinced of this as a result of watching The Silent Scream – a movie he considered so powerful and convicting that he screened it at the White House.
The modern technology of real-time ultrasound now reveals the actual responses of a 12-week old fetus to being aborted. As the unborn child attempts to escape the abortionist's suction curette, her motions can be seen to become desperately agitated and her heart rate doubles. Her mouth opens – as if to scream – but no sound can come out. Her scream doesn't have to remain silent, however … not if you will become her voice. This newly re-mastered version features eight language tracks and two bonus videos.
"…a high technology "Uncle Tom's Cabin" arousing public opinion just as Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 antislavery novel ignited the abolitionist movement." – Sen. Gordon Humphrey, Time Magazine

Some quick hit injury notes
October, 9, 2011
By ESPN.com staff | ESPN.com
Injuries have been a big -- too big -- story in the Pac-12 this year. That didn't change this past week.
- UCLA quarterback Richard Brehaut fractured his lower leg in the first half of the Bruins game with Washington State and is likely out for the season. So Kevin Prince is -- again -- the man. And if he can't stay healthy? True freshman Brett Hundley, perhaps?
- Colorado receiver Paul Richardson is out for 2-3 weeks with a sprained knee. Richardson is the Buffaloes best receiver, so this is big hit.
- Arizona safety Adam Hall made his season debut after suffering an ACL injury in spring practices. He led the Wildcats with 10 tackles in a loss at Oregon State. On the down side for the Wildcats, WR Juron Criner sprained his knee in the first quarter against Oregon State and didn't return.
- It's still unclear who will start at quarterback for Washington State on Saturday against Stanford, and the odds might favor Marshall Lobbestael. Jeff Tuel, who fractured his clavicle in the season-opener, was not cleared to play against UCLA.
- Oregon runningback LaMichael James will be out at least a few weeks after dislocating his elbow. The big question is will be be ready to go by Nov. 12, when the Ducks visit Stanford.

Girl Group is Stronger in Music Chart while Boy Groups Dominate Album Chart
By Staff Writer | July 13, 2012 03:59 AM EDT
The top 10 artist in the music site for real-time and daily chart on July 12 showed the majority to be occupied by girl groups as there are 4 group mentioned while boy groups are nowhere to be seen.
Like Us on Facebook
However the offline album market shows a different story.
Group Super Junior that placed in the top 20 of music chart with their sixth studio album Sexy, Free & Single that was released on July 4 sold 220,000 copies within a week. Also JYJ's Junsu who is not included in the rankings sold over 100,000 copies with his first solo album Tarantallegra, released May 14.
Group Big Bang became the king of album sales in the first half of 2012 based on sales figure of their mini-album Alive, released in February, and special album Still Alive, which sold over a total of 400,000 copies.
The difference of boy group and girl group is striking as f(x)'s mini-album Electric Shock released on the 13th of last month sold 60,000 copies, SISTAR and T-ARA's mini-album released on June 28 and July 3 respectively sold 11,000 copies and 30,000 copies.
So then it seems boy group is stronger in album sales, while girl group sweeps the music chart.
Music industry experts state the reason being with the difference of music style and fandom between girl and boy groups.
Album distributor, Loen Entertainment's project leader stated, "Boy groups songs are typically bit difficult. It's because the music are generally focused on powerful performance, and these songs are difficult to be placed in the music chart that is generally used by people of different ages."
The representative added, instead boy groups retain more close fans consisting of students and female mania. And such differences are shown in album sales.
In the exception of girl group that have emerged as global stars such as Girls' Generation, 2NE1 there aren't that many girl groups that retains a larger mania base fans similar to boy groups. Girl group's music is generally enjoyed by various age covering teenagers to those in their 40s, however this doesn't lead to album sales.
A CJ E&M representative also showed a similar view.
"When we study the users of music sites girl group music is generally enjoyed by teenagers to those in their 30-40s and even up to 50s or more which is widely spread out, however boy group fans are generally in their teens to 20s. For boy idol groups the target group is clear which makes it easier to sell albums however is weak in the music charts," analyzed the representative.
In reality the music site users for example on Mnet.com studied the membership increase during the group comeback. When boy group's make their comeback the memberships only increase up to 100 however when girl group's make their comeback the membership is increased from 300 up to even 1,000.
Of course there are groups that are cannot be placed in this simple formula. Like group Big Bang that swept the entire top music charts each time they release their album. And girl group of Girls' Generation, 2NE1 are an exception to this as they display 'girl group power' with recording an average of 100,000 copies album sales.
This is because group's like Big Bang, Girls' Generation and 2NE1 have already build their own music style. Their fan base itself is different from other general group. They are groups that hold star power as they can directly affect the increasing number of memberships in music chart sites.

Manawatu police are investigating the unexplained death of a middle-aged woman in Bulls.
The woman was discovered this morning at a residential property in Wilson St by a family member who immediately notified emergency services.
Police and forensic examiners are currently at the property and officers are in the process of speaking to those close to the woman.
Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Sheridan said priorities were to determine if there were any suspicious circumstances to the woman's death, and to speak to and support her family.
"A post-mortem will be undertaken and at this stage we are keeping an open mind and treating the woman's death as unexplained," Sheridan said.
No further information about the deceased will be released until she had been formally identified and her family had been notified.

Retailers face many decisions in every step of the payment process, and successful navigation requires a lot of savvy on their part, since one mistake in any area can have serious consequences.
Selecting a payment processor can be mind-boggling for retailers as there is more to the equation than cost per transaction. Retailers also need to consider how a processor can help them grow cross-border sales through local payment options, reduce currency conversion costs and risk of fraud, lower chargebacks, and provide the security around transaction data that online shoppers demand.
With more retailers expanding internationally, failing to select a processor that can help them successfully navigate these issues can result in higher operating expenses and cost retailers sales and customer relationships.
Choosing a processor that can help them navigate these issues can result in higher sales, lower operating expenses and improved customer relationships.
"Retailers need to look at payment processing more strategically," says Greg Worch, senior vice president, national accounts, for processor Chase Paymentech Solutions LLC. "The goal is to select a processor that can help retailers optimize the value of the payment types they accept, while reducing their overall cost of accepting payments."
Indeed, payment strategies need to be tailored to international markets as consumer preferences about the types of payment and the rules and regulations governing acceptance and transaction costs vary by market.
Fragmented picture
"The global payment landscape is very fragmented when it comes to cost structure, compliance, payment options and associated risks," says Jan Manten, CEO of payment service provider GlobalCollect. "The key to a successful payment strategy is reliability and gaining the trust of the customer. If the consumer does not have confidence in a retailer's payment strategy they will shop someplace else."
Some of the criteria retailers need to consider when formulating a payment strategy is compatibility with the processor's platform. Retailers should take into consideration whether the processor's platform is compliant with all payment security standards in the geographic markets in which they do business, whether the processor has worked with similar types of businesses, and the processor's financial strength.
"The cost of the transaction is important, but there are a lot of factors about the payment provider that retailers need to consider before entering into a contract," says Klas Bäck, president of U.S. operations for Netgiro, a Digital River company. "It's important to be sure the payment provider can contractually back up their sales talk."
Manten cautions that while new alternatives to credit and debit cards are emerging, retailers need to do their homework on the viability of these payment options and the reliability of the technology behind it and its appeal to consumers. "Some of the recent launches have failed," he adds. "Plus, retailers need to be sure the type of method appeals to their customer base and has a substantial penetration to justify the cost."
The risk associated with new payment types is also a consideration. Questions to consider include does the provider of the payment option heavily favor the customer in the event of a dispute and what is the cost to the retailer to defend itself in the event of a customer dispute? "The rules around a dispute can be so favorable to the customer that the retailer may end up having to go to court to win a dispute that is friendly fraud for some payment methods," says Netgiro's Bäck.
Friendly fraud occurs when a consumer legitimately orders an item but claims after receiving the item he did not place the order or receive it, thereby initiating a chargeback.
Exercise caution
Nor does a retailer necessarily want to be an early adopter of new and unproven payment types. "The provider may suddenly go out of business or the payment option can prove to be high risk," says Bäck. "Retailers want payment options that fit their level of risk and guarantee payment. Partnering with gateways and processors can help them choose the right payment option."
Although fraud prevention remains a top-of-mind concern for retailers, they don't always pay close attention to the fraud prevention tools available to them. "Fraud control is a very specialized service. Processors need to show that they not only have their own tools, but can connect retailers with third parties that meet their fraud prevention needs," says Chase Paymentech's Worch.
While Chase Payementech has integrated a variety of fraud management tools into their solution set, their aim is to provide connections into best-of-class fraud management providers. "The aim is to tailor options to the needs of the retailer rather than provide a one-size-fits-all approach," says Worch.
While retailers understand that access to fraud detection and prevention tools through payment service providers is important, their knowledge of the types of tools available is not as deep. As a result, their inclination is to implement stricter rules around transaction authentication as fraud volumes rise, which can lead to the denial of legitimate transactions, rather than applying the appropriate tools.
Among the clues that can indicate a fraudulent transaction is the use of free e-mail addresses by the customer, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses that do not match the billing address of the country to which the item is being shipped, purchase of goods and services that ship within 24 hours, and order sizes substantially larger than average.
"The better retailers organize their fraud prevention tools, the more they will sell," says GlobalCollect's Manten. "It sounds obvious, but that's a fact of the business that does get overlooked at times by retailers."
Velocity rules that prevent fraud by limiting the number of transactions from the same account on a daily basis are one way to curtail fraud.
Blacklists of suspect credit and debit cards or account numbers are another fraud detection tool. GlobalCollect uses its own blacklist that screens transactions against a combination of such data as account numbers, bank identification codes and branch codes. Suspect transactions are flagged and can be sent for manual review or denied, per the retailer's instructions. Another fraud tool enables GlobalCollect to retrieve the geographic location for any given IP address and break down card holder details to country, state or city level.

Thank you for this story. This has been publicized elsewhere and I've been meaning to do it. Finally did it; thanks for the reminder. I would suggest that the Police Department add a schematic of the possible locations of the serial number, which is not necessarily obvious. I had to google that information. And I was unable to find a place to upload a photo to the police database, in spite of what the article says. Does anyone have a link to this DB?

According to the MPPD, if you want to submit images you can send a photo of the bike and a photo of the serial number, along with your first and last name, to firstname.lastname@example.com.
I don't know why that information isn't listed on the database page. (Web Link)

it maybe beacuse lg p500 saves video in .3gp format which cannot be played on pc without codec try using GOM player or media player classic or install klite codec pack then you can hear sound

Valley hospital partners with school district's athletic program
PHOENIX -- It's out of a hospital and into a high school for three staff members at Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert Medical Center.
They will be partnering with five public high schools in Gilbert, Ariz., to provide athletic care for school teams.
"This is an effort to improve and increase the level of sports medicine and athletic training services that are provided in the Gilbert public schools," said Dr. Matthew Hansen, medical director of the hospital's sports medicine program.
The new program is designed to be on par with other sports medicine programs offered at the collegiate level.
"Part of that is having the right numbers of athletic trainers to care for student athletes, but also having the right specialist and sub-specialists to care for them as well," Hansen said.
More than 4,000 high school athletes in the Gilbert School District will benefit from the program.
"We see this as a comprehensive health care environment for the students," he added.
