Kids clubs in Fiji

Quick question for those of you who have been. DD will be 4 in October. We are thinking of going to Fiji in June. I note a lot of the kids clubs quote 4-12 years as being the age group.
1. Do they check the passports to verify age of the kids when you enrol them in the kids club (ie. could we put DD in even though she will be just shy of 4)? Or, do they accept kids that are a little outside the age group specified? 2. If not, does that mean there will be no activities she can participate in unless we book a nanny for her? Thanks in advance. #2Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:16 AM
Pretty sure Treasure Island is from age 3 (or that it was), if that is an option.
You would normally have to provide birthdate of kids when booking your accommodation; but I don't imagine they are then also going to check every child when you book in to the kids club. But I don't think you will be able to rely on that, so you have to expect that you may need to budget for a nanny or look after your child yourself. #3Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:35 AM
Where are you looking at staying? My experience has been that on the Islands it is a bit more discretionary - talk to the coordinator and they may well let her in. At the big hotels in Denaru it is very formal, more like daycare here and unlikely to bend the rules - our nearly 4 year olds weren't allowed in at all at one place.
Babysitting is only a couple of dollars an hour if you do have to pay for it - we'll worth it! #4Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:44 AM
Thanks for the replies. I was looking at the Shangri La (based on recommendation from a Fijian colleague of DH's). Would consider other options at this point though. Pretty much looking for somewhere that is eat, stay and play free for her if we can manage it and also recommendations from people who have been places with similar aged children. Don't mind paying for a nanny, but thought she would enjoy some time in a kids club too. Not looking at putting her anywhere (Nanny or kids club) for the entire stay, but just a little "adventure" for her perhaps 3 days or so during a ten day stay.
#5Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:51 AM
We stayed at the Naviti and the kids club was pretty rough with such a big age range. I wasn't happy to leave my 4yr old there are watching for a bit. We got a nanny - had the same lady for the entire holiday.
#6Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:55 AM
At the Shangi - La and I think most other resorts those under kids club age can still attend with an adult or a nanny, so if it is the activities you want for her that will be fine.
We have just booked into the Warwick later in the year. It's kids club is from age 3 and it looks similar to the Shangri La in that there is no need to leave the resort. We probably would have gone back to the Shangri La if we could afford it though cause we loved it! #7Posted 17 January 2013 - 09:20 PM
We stayed at the shangri la when DS2 was 3.
If there was an activity that we thought both our children would like, eg. fish feeding, t shirt art etc. then we attended with them. We did hire a nanny twice, you can request the same lady. She took them to the Kids Club playground and the restaurant for lunch and another night took them to dinner and the games room/movie night. To answer your original qu's, no one checked the ages of our children on passports. You sign your child in and out. Your DD will be able to participate in all of the activities but will need to be accompanied by you or a nanny. As a PP said, I wouldn't leave a young, single child there but would have felt comfortable leaving my 2 children there together if DS2 had of been old enough. 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

Pet Tip
What is a Dog Whisperer – Pet tip 215
These days you hear a lot about the term 'dog whisperer' and most people associate the term with one particular dog trainer, Cesar Milan. Many people think that he created the term when in fact this is false. The term dog whisperer is actually a term borrowed from horse training, where certain trainers or horse whisperers seemed to be able to get horses to calm down and accept training or accept a rider on their backs. Their methods were often 'quiet' (as opposed to more traditional punitive techniques) to an observer as these trainers seemed to get results from quiet whispers. These days though, the term has been diluted and many people use the term loosely.

I believe the title is pretty self explanatory, I feel like posting for this on here and seeing peoples answers would help me see the main points of humanism and different opinions on it.

A Secular Humanist Declaration was issued in 1980 by the Council for Secular Humanism's predecessor, CODESH. It lays out ten ideals: Free inquiry as opposed to censorship and imposition of belief; separation of church and state; the ideal of freedom from religious control and from jingoistic government control; ethics based on critical intelligence rather than that deduced from religious belief; moral education; religious skepticism; reason; a belief in science and technology as the best way of understanding the world; evolution; and education as the essential method of building humane, free, and democratic societies.

The quality and ease of installing my new seat covers exceeded my expectations. Great quality, great value!
Reviewed By Parker L (Burlison, TN) Reviewed for a 2013 Nissan Frontier —2/26/2015 10:57 AM
These CalTrend seat covers were easy to install and fit very well. It took about 2 hours to install them only because I had to remove another set of cheap seat covers we purchased at Walmart. I was impressed with the fit and the quality as well as the ease of installation.They are made of a very tough material and should last for many years.

To all the Rugby Family Lets hope all our teams give us something to cheer about in 2015.To those sadly no longer with us,always remembered never forgotten.HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Posted by EQUALIZER on 29 December 2014 - 12:29 AM
For the record I'm a Hunslet fan and came to watch as a neutral. Grayston was awful. Not seen him since his academy days and he was like a fish out of water. Then resorted to pulling hair and cheating. Craven had a shocker too and what about Pryce? My god, does the league have a shortage of full backs? I would tell him to play at Prop and if he couldn't do that I would send him to Stanningley (and that's an insult to them). Rettie just wanted to fight everyone.
Plus points for me was Farrell coming on and Campbell and his centre did well.
Benefit of the doubt of having players missing but both teams will struggle this year if that was anything to go by.If we do we will still be way above the Rhinos A Team.

Author Comments
My NATA open round entry
This is actually the first non-comedy animation I've done in three years. I figured I'd stand out a bit better that way, as most people take a humorous approach.
Also, I decided not to make a time machine premise, 'cause I figured everyone would get REALLY sick of those. Take that, just about everyone.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very Good Job http://emrox.newgrounds.com/ .

Shirtless Neil Patrick Harris in France With Elton John Pictures
Shirtless Neil Patrick Harris Joins David Burtka and Their Twins on a Mediterranean Vacation With Elton John!
Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka jetted to France for a family vacation with twins Gideon and Harper and found themselves sunning along the coast of France with friends Elton John, David Furnish, and their son, Zachary. NPH is coming off his latest media blitz, promoting his Summer live-action 3D film The Smurfs. The film wasn't a runaway success with critics, but it did share the top spot at the box office with Cowboys & Aliens last weekend, each respectively taking in $36.2 million. NPH missed out on ABC's TCA events this week in LA, but his costar Jason Segel was there to represent the cast of How I Met Your Mother and field questions about the show's upcoming seventh season. He didn't give away any mother spoilers, though Jason did talk about his character, Marshall, becoming a dad, saying, "I feel so bad for whatever kids they hire. I'm so awkward. I'm like the Abominable Snowman from the Bugs Bunny cartoons. These poor, acting babies."

Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" Benchmarks
Published on 24 August 2009 03:09 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Free Software
15 Comments
Earlier this month we shared that we would be doing
a big operating system benchmark comparison
consisting of Linux (perhaps a few different distributions), OpenSolaris, some BSDs, and Mac OS X. With the news today from Apple that Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" will be shipping this Friday, the 28th of August, we are now one step closer to carrying out this large OS comparison. This large OS benchmarking extravaganza will not take place until September, but later this week we will go ahead and put out some performance numbers for Mac OS X 10.6.0.
Assuming the copy of Mac OS X 10.6 that we just pre-ordered does arrive on Friday, we should have some in-depth performance numbers beginning Friday night or Saturday. For this initial article we will be looking at the Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" performance compared to Mac OS X 10.5.8 "Leopard". We have also started preparing for this comparison and getting any last minute tests into the
Phoronix Test Suite
for running this Mac OS X benchmarking.
Look for plenty of performance numbers to come out in the coming days on Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" at Phoronix, thanks to our multi-platform benchmarking software. From earlier this year you can find our
Ubuntu 9.04 vs. Mac OS X 10.5.6 benchmarks
along with
many other articles

Gorgeous rug. Great value. I ordered two and love them. It was more gold in Olof than it appered
This rug, for the money, is a quality item. I brought it for my back door to catch the first steps of my poodle coming in the door. It sheds a little but nothing a vacuum won't fix. Overall very happy with the rug.
I purchased this rug for my laundry room. The size, quality and color are exactly what I wanted and expected. Shedding is not a problem with this rug. Thick and gorgeous and a great price to boot. I would highly recommend!
Good product. It was too big for the area that I planned on using it in but has worked well in orhter areas in my home because the colors were what I had wanted.
I love this rug. I bought it to match the round rug I had gotten just before. Once I saw the quality, the beautiful design and colors, I had to buy the matching rectangular rug. I only wish it was one foot longer. They are absolutely beautiful on my brown/black tile floor.

Paulina has completed online and offline ID verification.
Paulina and her boyfriend are really cool guys to host and live with. They are talented and interesting people to talk with (English and Spanish are both welcome), support a healthy life style and love nice food... They left the room tidy and clean. Definitely to recommend
Perfect guests: easy going, quiet and independent, nice and respectful people. It's been a pleasure to share my apartment with them and i would be very happy to welcome them again.
Me encanto hospedar a Paulina y Gustavo. Son encantadores, ordenados y súper educados! Siempre q quieran son más q bienvenidos!!!!
Alojar a Paulina y Gustavo ha sido un verdadero placer. Son personas sociables, educadas, respetuosas... con las que disfrutas conversando. Las recomiendo a todos los anfitriones, sin ninguna duda.
Paulina and her partner were great guests, it was really so nice to meet them; communication was very good throughout the booking process; the meetup also went well; and the room was left in perfect condition, so of course I would recommend them to any future host on Airbnb. It was lovely to be able to share some information about Bilbao with them, so knowledgeable about food, it was a pleasure, and I think the information I gave was appreciated too, I hope they continue having great experiences on Airbnb, all the best from Bilbao, the Basque Country.
Barely saw each other, because the only stay for one night, but they seem very nice. Clean and tidy, left the room in perfect conditions.

I love but one of my favorite look of all times was her at the same event last year wearing Gaultier.

I love the color, but I'm not crazy about the dress. There's just something about it that I don't like.

Adour launches vegetarian tasting menu
Restaurant Trends
- Missy Frederick
- Reporter
Adour, the restaurant at the St. Regis Washington D.C., has joined the ranks of those restaurants offering tasting menus geared toward vegetarian guests.
Adour's executive chef Julien Jouhannaud is now serving a five-course vegetarian menu. Dishes are French-influenced and change with the season (right now, they range from risotto with morel mushrooms to poached green asparagus).
Adour is one of many restaurants that have used their tasting menus to cater toward customers who are either vegetarian or interested in eating less meat. Local restaurants such as Falls Church-based 2941 and downtown D.C.'s The Source offer similar programs.
Adour's menu is priced at $65.

On watch for the next bright idea
The recent revelation that one of Diane von Furstenberg's assistants copied a jacket by Toronto's Jennifer Halchuk and Richard Lyle of the Mercy label speaks volumes about the state of fashion today.
There is so much copying happening at all levels of the business that the meaning of the term "designer" has come apart at the seams.
Everyone is looking to someone else for ideas, rather than searching within.
Anna Wintour alluded to the matter in the 60 Minutes interview that aired on the weekend. When she sees a designer copy someone else's work, she feels sad, she said.
Even the most celebrated originators scour second-hand shops and flea markets for inspiration, and there is nothing wrong with that. It's what they turn around and do with it that counts. Galliano's designs for Christian Dior are loaded with historical references cleverly remixed for the modern day. Many designers will cite the jumping-off point for a collection, be it the work of an earlier designer, or an art exhibition they have seen.
Knowing Lyle and Halchuk, I am sure they scratched their heads until they came up with the seaming that would have given their charming floral a fresh bent. To have their ingenuity gobbled up by the fashion machine must have hurt. But it has become such a way of life that the real surprise is that Von Furstenberg's copy of the Mercy jacket hasn't yet wound up at H&M for $99.90.
That's why when a novel idea surfaces, we get a thrill.
It happened recently when Dan Tanenbaum got in touch. He is the son of the vintage costume jewellery collector Carole Tanenbaum, whose collection is sold across North America and whose Victorian sash pin was worn by Michelle Obama on Inauguration Day.
Tanenbaum inherited his mother's passion – "I have a black belt in collecting" he jokes – and he has focused on comic books, coins and, more recently, 19th-century photography, art deco microphones and watches.
In his hunts, he would often come across ladies' cocktail watches from the '20s that nobody wanted. "They would have broken straps, tarnished cases, faded faces and the crystal would be yellowed," he notes. "But if you popped the back, the movement would slide out and no matter how bad the dial looked, the movement would always be in mint condition."
So Tanenbaum added another obsession – vintage watch movements with their miniature gears, intricate layers and gleaming rubies.
"I saw them as little pieces of art, little objets and I loved them," he remarks. "Eventually, I realized they would be great as cufflinks because the look is so industrial. Then I couldn't get enough of them."
Neither can others, it seems, because Tanenbaum has been selling the cufflinks right off his wrists. They are also available at Stefanie's boutique in Forest Hill Village.
A pair of tiny round "button" watch movements that are about the size of a dime are $80, while square, tourneau or bar shapes go for up to $250. The biggest challenge Tanenbaum has is finding matching pairs, but he has started a database to document which watch brands made which style of movement.
Tanenbaum studied advertising at Michigan State then worked as an art director in Detroit and Toronto. He also pursued stand-up comedy in L.A. and then launched an artists' website called portfolios.com, which he sold last year. Now he is learning about the coin business, which he might pursue.
Never once in our conversation did Tanenbaum refer to himself as anything but a watch fanatic. He even clearly stated, "I am not a jewellery designer."
He's just a guy with an idea. It's a distinction some of the people out there who are calling themselves designers should take note of.

Title: Non-native Mandevilla care
Answered by: Nan Hampton
I have a mandevilla and it looks like there are about 5 plants in one pot. Can it be separated without killing it? And, if it can be separated how should it be done? The plant is about 7" high and in a pot about 15"wide. I have 3 bamboo hooped trellises in the pot that Mandie has grown onto. She lives indoors until April/May. I would appreciate your help.ANSWER:
Mandevilla spp. is native to Brazil. Since our focus and expertise are in plants native to the North American continent, this plant is not really in our purview. You can find a wealth of information on the internet by doing a Google search using "Mandevilla care" as your search terms.More Non-Natives Questions

Tulsa, OK (Sports Network) - Alex Singleton's one-yard touchdown run in overtime lifted the Tulsa Golden Hurricane to a 33-27 win over the UCF Knights in the Conference USA championship game at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
Singleton rushed for 100 yards and a pair of scores while Trey Watts picked up 134 yards on the ground for Tulsa (10-3, 8-1 C-USA) which won its second C-USA title. Cody Green threw for 153 yards, a touchdown and an interception on 14- of-25 passing. Thomas Roberson caught four passes for 68 yards and a score.
Blake Bortles completed 14-of-32 pass attempts for 194 yards and a score and added 60 yards and a touchdown on the ground for UCF (9-4, 7-2). The Knights were playing in their final game as a member of C-USA as they will move to the Big East next season. Breshad Perriman caught three passes for 65 yards and a touchdown and Latavius Murray had 71 yards and a score on 21 carries.
Tulsa opened up the scoring with a 20-yard touchdown pass from Green to Roberson early in the first quarter.
It would not be until the beginning of the second quarter that UCF would respond when Perriman caught an eight-yard touchdown pass from Bortles to cap off a 10-play, 73-yard drive.
UCF added another touchdown on an eight-yard touchdown pass from Bortles to Quincy McDuffie with a little less than five minutes remaining in the first half.
Singleton scored his first touchdown of the game on Tulsa's next posession on a seven-yard run to tie the game at 14-14.
Tulsa got the ball back with just over a minute left before the break and finished off an eight-play, 80-yard drive with a two-yard touchdown run from Ja'Terian Douglas on the final play of the half.
UCF dominated in the third quarter with a two-yard touchdown run from Murray and a 28-yard touchdown run from Bortles. Shawn Moffitt's extra point attempt was blocked after Murray's touchdown and the Knights lead stood at 27-21.
Trey Watts brought Tulsa back to even with a 54-yard punt return with a little more than five minutes left in regulation. However Daniel Schwarz extra point was blocked and with neither team scoring the rest of the way, the game went to overtime.
UCF got the ball first in the extra session but the managed only four yards after which Moffitt's 38-yard field goal attempt was blocked.
Tulsa took the ball over and sparked by a 17-yard rush by Watts was able to punch it in for the game winner.
The Golden Hurricane had a 443-330 edge in total yards and converted on 12-of-22 attempts on third down.

I know first-hand what it is like to have a family member suffer with mental illness.
According to statistics, I am not alone. One in five Ontarians has a mental illness.
When our son Matthew first started showing signs of mental instability at age sixteen, my husband and I stumbled around until we finally found some support to address our son's symptoms.
Nothing helped Matthew for any sustained period of time. Our family was desperate and in despair.
I wish the Halton Health Services (HHS) Navigator Program had been available when we needed it.
The Navigator Program could have expedited the confusing array of various agencies and guided Matthew to the correct doctors and promising treatment — something that only happened by chance, more than 20 years later in 2009, a year before his death.
I joined the Oakville Hospital Foundation's Navigator Program campaign because I know the positive impact it will have on hundreds of families.
Throughout this campaign, every $1 donated to the program will trigger an additional $2.50 through the generosity of the Mental Wellness Network and the Amarna Foundation.
The goal is to raise $1,250,000 by December 2013.
Once raised, this money will be self-sustaining and will support the program for many years.
Please join me and give families the urgent support system they desperately need on their road to recovery.

Museum offers suds with history
- Staff Tampa Bay Business Journal
A cafe specializing in craft beer is now open in the St. Petersburg Museum of History.
Hops & Props offers 24 local beers on tap as well as a full menu including appetizers, salads and entrees, the Tampa Bay Times said. The owners are mother and son team Lucy Ziegler and Eric Starr.
Since St. Petersburg owns the museum, officials were not allowed to lease out the space to Hops & Props. As a compromise, the museum will own all the inventory sold in the cafe and Hops & Props will serve as the managing company. The cafe will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily although it has a license to stay open as late as 3 a.m., the Times said.
"For a few years now we've been discussing having a cafe in the museum, similar to what the Dali and the MFA (Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg) have been doing," said James Parrish, the history museum's event coordinator and marketing director.

The Clean Water Act at 40: There's Still Much Left to Do
The Clean Water Act of 1972, one of the boldest environmental laws ever enacted, turns 40 this year, with an impressive record of cleaning up America's waterways. But from New York Harbor to Alaska's Bristol Bay, key challenges remain.
By paul greenberg
When you turn 40, three questions inevitably arise:
1) Who am I?
2) What have I done?
3) What else can I do?
Forty years ago, the U.S. Congress, in an uncharacteristically uncowardly move, overwhelmingly overrode President Nixon's veto and passed the most powerful law for the protection of water in American (and perhaps world) history. Yes, this year the Clean Water Act officially enters its midlife crisis years.
Since it is a law, and not a person, we won't expect it to buy a red sports car and hook up with another law half its age. But having aged and weathered and yet oftentimes stood firm against its adversaries even if its knees became not quite what they used to be, it is worth asking this much buffeted piece of legislation in its 40th year, the three essential questions of mid-life.
So, to begin with, Clean Water Act, who are you?
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, known as The Clean Water Act was not the first piece of federal legislation to protect water. But it was the first time that real power was invested with the federal government to make sure that water got clean and stayed clean. Its essential demand, that all waterways in the United States be "fishable and swimmable" by 1985 was remarkable in its forthrightness. It invested the Environmental Protection Agency with the power to prosecute "point source polluters," i.e. commercial enterprises directly responsible for fouling the water. No longer was the onus on citizens to prove the value of clean water. Rather the burden was switched to industry. Industry had to prove that its actions did not impinge upon what became codified as an American right to fish and swim, safely, in public waterways.
Next, Clean Water Act, what have you done?
View gallery
Cleveland Press Collection/
Cleveland State University
The Cuyahoga River in Cleveland caught fire regularly through the 1950s and 1960s, including this 1952 blaze.
Are all public American waterways fishable and swimmable as they were mandated to be by 1985? They most assuredly are not. But the most egregious aspects of the abuse of water have stopped. Cleveland's Cuyahoga River no longer catches fire, as it did regularly, throughout the 1950s and 60s. A corporation can no longer spill oil into the sea and expect to escape without a fine. Indeed, the billions of dollars British Petroleum will undoubtedly have to pay in the coming years as a result of the 2010 Gulf Spill are made possible by the instruments of the Clean Water Act.
And these gains extend from the broadly national to the intimately local. Because of the Clean Water Act, New York City now has more than a half-dozen public swimming events in New York Harbor, including a 28.5-mile loop of Manhattan that will take place this June. Because of the Clean Water Act, oysters placed on six test reefs in an experiment coordinated by the Hudson River Foundation in 2010 found enough dissolved oxygen to survive, raising the possibility that oysters could once again become an integral part of the Hudson River estuary. But there is still a lot of work to be done.
Which leads us to, Clean Water Act, what else can you do?
It is a remarkable achievement that point-source polluters can now be monitored and often controlled. But there still remain two vital areas of clean water protection that have yet to be brought in line. The first is the control of "nonpoint source" polluters — the diffuse negative impacts of humanity in general. While it is fairly straightforward to identify a pesticide manufacturer that is dumping its effluent into a waterway and sue it because of that violation, it is considerably more difficult to mitigate the effects of private citizens whose brazen acts of clean water abuse often consist simply of flushing their own toilets. Because of outdated and overloaded wastewater treatment plants, for example, raw sewage still pours into New York Harbor through "combined sewage overflows" whenever it rains more than a tenth of an inch. We need to figure this piece of the puzzle out, not only through large-scale modernization and expansion of sewer systems but also by establishing tax incentives for the implementation of innovative storm water sequestering technologies like green roofs.

Because of the Clean Water Act, water quality in New York's Hudson River has improved dramatically in the last four decades.
The other trick the old dog might pull off in its middle years is to let its bite finally exceed its bark on a critical area of its jurisdiction. Section 404c of the Act allows the EPA to protect waterways that support shellfish beds, fish spawning grounds, wildlife zones, and recreational areas. As I write these words, proponents for the development of the gargantuan "Pebble Mine" copper and gold prospect in Alaska's Bristol Bay are already denouncing a recently completed EPA "watershed assessment" of the region even before the public has gotten a chance to look at it. This assessment will almost certainly provide the scientific justification for a 404c action that will protect Bristol Bay — home to the largest concentration of wild salmon left on earth. EPA could effectively protect the area — and its half-billion dollar a year fishing industry — as a vast, commercially productive wild salmon reserve. The Clean Water Act might just have the teeth to do that; but this old guard dog must be loosed for the attack for the law to become all that it was meant to be.
A bold promise. A lot, but not enough, accomplished. Many interesting and important things still left to do. If I were turning 40 this year, I would find that summing up of my life-to-date cause for pride, anxiety and hope. Such a summing up might even make me feel a little bit young. There are many out there for whom 40 is just the start of the most meaningful part of their lives. As they say nowadays, 40 is the new 30.

Stumble Upon
Strange this article fails to rmention the CWA exemption for hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") which essentially allows the shale gas industry to vitiate everything the CWA has ever achieved and contaminate all the groundwater in the US with exotic organic and other chemicals. Turning 40 is an existential dilemma because of the contemplation of one's own mortality — here the CWA has ceased to matter in any meaningful way as regards groundwater and runoff into riverine and wetland ecosystems (no doubt some will claim I exaggerate) because of a politically determined Bush era (Obama is no better) exemption, so there is little to look forward towards as regards the CWA.

"...essentially allows the shale gas industry to "violate "everything the CWA has ever achieved and contaminate all the groundwater in the U.S. with exotic organic and other chemicals."
Posted by Mary Munn on 24 May 2012
A great act, indeed. Hope we could have more around the world, especially in the Niger Delta where oil spills are rampant.
To the comment above, shale oil and gas is not a major threat in the U.S where technology is monitored by law. In other places with less regulation? Probably not.
