Spencer F. Katt
Posted 2003-01-20
The resignation of Steve Case may not be the only sign of a shake-up at AOL.
The resignation of Steve Case may not be the only sign of a shake-up at AOL. El Gato heard that the company has put Gotham, the ad agency for its Internet unit, on notice. Having run with Gotham for more than eight years, AOLs newly appointed executive vice president of brand marketing, Leonard Short, apparently figures its time to explore new agencies. "Hopefully, one that doesnt plan on stuffing free AOL disks in everything from the Sunday paper to my Capn Crunch cereal box," laughed the Lynx. But dont cry for Gotham; its planning yet another Shatner-driven media assault for a different client: Priceline.com. According to whispers among some industry reps and distributors, Microsoft may have indefinitely delayed plans to release its Wireless Optical Desktop for Bluetooth. The tattlers claimed that beta testers may have encountered mondo incompatibility problems, but no official word on the status of the product has been given.
Several tattlers told Spencer that BEA Systems may be putting itself on the blockor is at least dropping hints to that effect. The tipsters assumed that the rumors are an effort by the infrastructure software maker to raise its stock price or an attempt to see if anyone has an interest.
The Katt thinks Avid must be pretty p.o.d at Apple, ever since Jobs & Co. announced plans to release a free version of Final Cut Express. Avids products, such as Final Cut and xPress, usually cost users about $600 apiece. But what really has Avid steamed is the similar naming of the Apple product and the fact that Apple didnt alert anyone before the announcement, tipsters said. Avid has announced a free, yet somewhat-scaled-back offering of xPress. Customers of security vendor Recourse Technologies, a part of Symantec, are griping that company reps are being heavy-handed in their efforts to get users to migrate to products from another Symantec company, Riptech. Apparently, users arent warming up to the migration idea fast enough for Symantec.
In addition, the Katt heard that employees at Riptech and Security Focus (also a Symantec company) have begun jumping ship, upset with their new parent companys foot dragging on product integration. None of the top guys has jumped ship so far, however. "Maybe they should get Shatner to help promote them," Spencer chuckled. "He could just keep singing the words Riptech and Symantec over and over to the tune of Incense and Peppermints."

Television's proud edifice, though still unfinished, is already showing cracked plaster and faulty brickwork. Last week, the architects were blaming everything from the other fellow to the unseasonable weather.
Hardest hit were the networks, which have poured the most money into TV and reaped the least profit. This year CBS has made $500,000 less than it did in the first half of 1948. Du Mont's books have a reddish tinge and ABC, which can least afford it, is losing most of all. NBC does not release a balance sheet, but it is no exception. Of 76 TV stations in the U.S., only...

I am a 32 year old female professional originally from the SF Bay Area. I currently live in Austin, TX. I am the Associate Director of Sales Training for a social media management company. I am 5 months pregnant and am relocating back to LA.
Colby has completed online and offline ID verification.
Colby was our longest staying guest and from the moment she arrived till her departure things worked splendidly. I understand she had a work assignment in nearby Santa Monica and we can only hope she chooses us again. Highly recommend.
Colby is a joy! She is friendly, professional and communicative. She decided to stay longer and we had some snags with how airbnb was set up for that. Colby worked with me to stay on top of everything and it all worked out just fine. She is a easy to deal with and if you get the pleasure of having her want to stay at your place, jump quickly!
Colby is great. She is friendly, communicative and handles anything that comes up quickly and professionally. If you are lucky enough to have her request your place, definitely say YES!!
I have known Colby for almost 7 years now, both as a friend and a colleague. She is a wonderful (and hilarious) person who has a successful career and works very hard. She is well-traveled having lived in SF, NY, LA and Austin and able to get along with many different types of people. She is reliable and trustworthy and full of life. I will always have nothing but great things to say about her. - Scott

Iban Longhouse
The Iban live in a state of Sarawak Borneo and Malaysia are mainly Christian and animist. They are among the Dayaks and are sometimes called Sea Dayak. In Sarawak, they form the largest population group.
They were also known by the locals panjamon called, which means Headhunters. They did therefore with people of other villages that quarrel was caused by the hunt trespassing.
The Iban lived mainly from hunting and gathering and hunting especially on boseekhoorns, boar, clouded leopards, honey bears, slender monkeys, proboscis monkeys, gibbons, rats, hornbills and beyond everything else that is edible and lives.
The Iban were tattooed on their hands if they had one or more heads rushed. Jean-Yves Domalian lived with the Iban and was also accepted, married there and lived like a real Iban. He has also written a book about: Panjamon, headhunters in Borneo.Related to:- Historical Travel

Blow Pipe demonstrations at Serubah Longhouse
After a fascinating evening of dancing and games, we were able to witness some of the daytime activities of the Iban people. One of these was a blow pipe demonstration and a chance to try our own hand at it. The blow pipes are almost two metres long and fire a small dart. In the jungle, the tips of these darts contain a poison that anaethetises small animals. The long pipes are not easy to direct, and while our hosts hit the mark on almost every attempt, some of us had trouble just blowing through the long tube.

Artifacts at Serubah Longhouse
Besides the human skulls hanging inside hessian bags at the entrance to the family rooms in the longhouse, traditional jewellery and headwear is also put on display for tourists. The heavy, thick earrings must take some time to get accustomed to - replicas of these can be purchased in Kuching. There are some intricate bracelets and neckwear, along with 'feathery' head-dresses worn by men during ceremonies. The longhouse also has examples of traditional knives - were they used for beheading?
At the longhouse, you can also buy examples of Iban art work, including wood carvings and matting.Related to:- Arts and Culture
Cultural performance at Serubah Longhouse
Perhaps the highlight of a visit to Serubah Longhouse is the evening cultural performance. Welcomed with glasses of a highly potent alcoholic drink by the head of the household, we were treated to traditional dancing and singing by the Iban inhabitants of the longhouse and were then invited to join in on some danicing and games. It was both culturally enriching, and at times hilariously funny, as the householders tried to hide their smiles at our clumsiness. If you have the opportunity, even for an overnight trip from Kuching, this is a must do.

Entering the Serubah Longhouse
After an amazing boat ride passing lush vegetation along the Lemanak River, the Serubah Longhouse comes into view. And its not hard to understand why it is called a longhouse. We were invited to climb the steep entrance steps to see the living quarters in day light. The communal gallery stretches for 100 metres. Off the gallery are the private quarters where families eat and sleep. Initially the gallery appears bare until we see hessian bags hanging from pillars outside the living quarters. But it is what is in the hessian bags that surprises - human skulls. While headhunting has now ceased, the skulls are kept as traditonal reminders of the past.
Related to:- Arts and Culture
A visit to Serubah Longhouse by boat
A great tour option from Kuching is an overnight stay at Serubah Longhouse, home to Iban people. The best way to get there is to travel by bus to Lemanak Jetty and then board a longboa for a one hour trip down the Lemanak River before arriving at the doorstep of the longhouse. The trip down the river takes you through some peaceful, picturesque countryside.

Visit a traditionall market at Serian Town
Serian Town is located about 65km from Kuching. There is a daily market selling fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and chicken, along with freshly made sweet delicacies. The market also sells clothes, jewellery (that you should bargain for) and pharmaceuticals. It is a very clean market. The store holders are happy to explain their wares. Great for a day trip or a stop off on the road to the Lemanak river.

Semonggok Orangutan Centre
Just a short trip from Kuching is the Semonggok Orangutan Reserve. Here you can see semi-wild orangutans who mostly fend for themselves but sometimes come to the specially erected feeding platform if there is a shortage of food in the jungle. The centre is well run in terms of rehabilitating orangutans to live in the wild - most of the funding is through tourism but it is a no touch policy and there is no guarantee that you will see an orangutan (although both times I have visited I was lucky enough to see several travelling through the trees and the largest of them all, Richie, getting a free feed at the feeding platform.) If you are visiting Kuching, put a visit to the centre on your 'to do' list! Many agents in Kuching will organise tours for around $30 US per person

Visit a pepper farm
If you are doing a tour from Kuching to one of the Iban longhouses, make sure to stop off at one of the pepper plantations en route. Liew's pepper farm is open to the public. You can walk through the fields and learn the diffference between white and black pepper. You can watch the pepper being seperated and ground, and buy some fresh pepper to take home with you. Something a little out of the ordinary and well worth a visit.
The two limestone caves near the former goldmining town of Bau are worth a visit, you won't find any gold here but in the wind cave you can see bats and various types of swifts.
There are also alters where you can light a incense stick and maybe pray for some gold.Related to:- Hiking and Walking

Gunung Gading National Park.
If you like to see some of the amazing things in life you must try to see the Rafflesia flower.
Gunung Gading is one of the places you might just manage it, but check with the park office first or the tourist info centre in Kuching to see if any are blooming.
If there aren't any you might like to visit anyway it's a nice place to spend a night or two with good walking trails and a good swimming area near to the park office.Related to:- Hiking and Walking

Bako National Park
Bako National park is maybe one of Sarawaks most famous ones it is also one of the most interesting. Best time to go is April to September
You need to buy a permit if you are staying overnight in the park which really you will need to to take in one of the hikes, you also have to pay for cameras, videos etc.
permits can be obtained from the National Parks booking office in Kuching (082-248088)
There are numerous hiking trails, beautiful beaches, waterfalls and an abundance of flora and fauna.
To get here you have to catch a bus from Kuching near electra house Petra Jaya bus company bus no.6 to kampung Bako then you need to charter a boat. Ask at the office near the jetty if anyone else is going as it will work out cheaper for the boat.
The park HQ is at Telok Assam and you must register when you get there, this is where you get your camera/video/ accomodation keys and lots of useful information etc.
There is plenty of accomodation at Bako so I reccomend at least one overnight.
There is also a shop and small cafeteria for simple food dishes and drinks.
One Major word of warning "DO NOT FEED THE MONKEYS" the long tailed Macaques might look cute to watch but they are clever and very naughty, do not leave anything unattended, food, drink or valuables on beaches or verandas close all bags lock all doors and windows.This may sound like overkill but believe me they are sneaky oportunist and will make daring raids to steal everything.
The males can be aggresive and can be very threatening specially when fed a little ,they always want more. If you see them in the bins walk swiftly past avoiding eye contact if possible. Don't let this put you off though, just be carefull.
If you have any problems on the canteen the park staff will help you out with a very nice catapult.
Other wildlife in the park includes the famous Proboscis monkies, Silver leaf monkies, Bearded pigs, several types of lizards and snakes several types of birds.
All in all it is a great hideaway.Related to:- Hiking and Walking

Bako National Park
We booked an organized trip here through the tour desk at the Damai Beach Resort. We must have looked weak and weedy as the girl at the desk did not seem sure we would be able to cope with it. It turned out to be less strenuous than the jungle walk we had done the day before.
Bako National Park was very enjoyable. We were taken by minibus from our resort, then caught a boat to the park. We passed by some interesting rock formations on the way. Our Chinese guide was knowledgeable and informative. At one point he stopped to show us a stock of grass which to our amazement turned out to be a snake. We saw several poisonous snakes, wild boar, macaque monkeys and, though I've no good photos to prove it, proboscis monkeys.
The tour was very enjoyable and included lunch. Having a guide enabled us to see things we would probably have missed on our own.Related to:- Hiking and Walking

Jungle Walk
There was a marked jungle trail nearby the Damai Beach Hotel. It was only a couple of kilometers but was marked as taking 2 hours. We thought there would be no way it could take so long. In the end it took us around two and a half hours as there was a lot of climbing over fallen trees etc. It was great fun but hot and tiring. I'd gladly do it again, but it is only for those who like walking and don't mind the heat.

Sarawak Cultural Village
We spent hours here and loved it. The setting is stunning - a lake in the centre, mountains all round. The village has lots of houses in different cultural styles. You can visit them all. Some tribes put on dance shows: others demonstrate traditional crafts, such as making blow pipes; others sell traditional snacks. It's very interesting to have a look at. The different styles of houses are interesting, too. Plus you get to examine the interior at your leisure. The day ends with a dance show demonstrating traditional tribal dances. When we visited the performances were linked together to tell a long traditional story. The show ended with members of the audience, including me, being dragged up to dance. My husband was able to torture me with a video of me getting all the dance steps wrong for months after our visit.
A lovely day out. Open from 9am to 5.15pm; entry was around RM45.Related to:- Music

That's the point. If we allow reverse harems and all other types of harems, as long as there is a main person being liked by a bunch of other people, then the OP's sister should also agree that if a bunch of girls like a single gay guy, then it is considered a harem. Since she believes this actually does happen in real life, then harems can exist in real life.@AURON570:
It just occurred to me that OP's sister said that harems would not work in real life because even if a bunch of girls liked a guy, the guy would either be gay or turn gay. But wouldn't this still be considered a harem even if the guy is gay? or even bisexual or a hermaphrodite? Or does the guy HAVE to be straight and/or fertile?What about reverse Harems?
Hmm I suppose. I guess we're left to question what qualifies as a harem and whether it is practical. I don't really think it's practical these days for either the girls or the guy, to many factors to consider. But I guess it's possible, even if it's just role playing or whatever. But then it still will never be like the ideal harems in anime obviously.@Destinyheroknight said:
Harems does exist in real life, Kings in the old days have them (but not in the same way as anime show them)
Thats what I was thiinking a real-life Harem can happen if you got alot of cash.
please delete this page, accidentally put episode 14 as 0.

" @AURON570: Woah woah woah you dropped To Aru Kagaku no Railgun? I guess if you watched it on its own (without watching what it's a spin-off of , To Aru Majutsu no Index) it'd be really difficult to get into at first, but there are some really awesome arcs later on in the series. I'd also understand if Kuroko turned you off from the series, since her obsession over Misaka is something that takes a lot to get used to. 'xD "yeah, that's pretty much what happened... I forget how I heard about Railgun, but I thought I'd give it a try, not knowing it had a parent story. I couldn't really get into it, I guess it's just not for me. I'm thinking about giving it another shot by starting over from Index, sometime in the... vaguely distant future. =S

My boyfriend surprised me with dinner for my birthday. The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
We went to Fogo for my birthday celebration. I fell in love from the moment I walked in. Wait staff was attentive and polite. The salad bar is out of this world complete. The meat choices are top grade delicious slices of protein. My boyfriend and I loved it so much, he asked me if we can change our anniversary place to here. I can't wait to bring our parents for a nice night out. Thank you for opening the gates for wonderful culinary experiences!
I love your selections!
Favorite restaurant.
I took my wife and daughter to the Portland location... A+ Fantastic. The service and food were incredible. I plan to return soon. Thank you very much for making it special.
I took my father there for Father's Day and he absolutely loved it! The service was excellent and the food was phenomenal! I especially loved the cheesecake! We will definitely be back soon!
Yesterday was my first time ever at your restaurant. For my guys birthday I thought nothing is more special than steak!! Your staff exceeded the expectations I had for a great meal. This was by far one of the most enjoyable experiences at a restaurant I have ever had. My guy loved it too, and it truly helped make his day that much better. The staff was attentive and charming. I will definitely be planning another special occasion at the Chicago location, as well as spreading the word of the wonderful experience.
Our family loves to go to the Scottsdale location. We live in Canada and every time we are at our home in Arizona we make sure that we go to Fogo! We go there for both special events where we have family and friends celebrating and "just" for dinner. The management and staff are warm and caring and do an excellent job. They make us feel like part of the Fogo family, as they have become of ours. We frequently recommend this as "an awesome place to go where the food and the customer service are better than any other restaurant we have been to, both in the USA and in Canada".
Your staff was AMAZING! When we arrived, we were seated immediately and treated like we were the only patrons there. If we are every back in Portland we will definitely be back.
I took my husband here as a Father's Day treat, and I must say that I was treated as well. The food was excellent and the service was just as good. I will definitely be coming back. Thanks for the excellent service.
As always great service and wonderful food! Awesome way to spend Father's Day! Thanks for the superb hospitality!
Wow!!! The best dining experience I've ever had. The staff is great and the food is out of this world.
I would like to thank all the staff and especialy the assistant manager, who gave us fantastic service. Really perfect, and such a friendly experience. Thanks again and hope to come soon again.
My husband and I dined here and not only was the food FANTASTIC but so was the service. My husband brought me here for our 2 year anniversary. It was amazing!!! We love Fogo de Chao. We never had to ask for anything. The staff and servers were checking on us frequently. Simply AMAZING!!!
It is said you are only as good as the people you hire...from the bartender who makes the best Mojito in a four state area, the hosts who great you with a smile, the attentive and friendly wait staff, as well as the continual presence of the Manager. ALL this on a Saturday night celebrating my wife's birthday, and that she is in remission from cancer! Your staff made her feel so happy and special, and in turn made me feel the same. We brought a group of first timers with us and they haven't stopped talking about the whole experience!

The Mountain is an American television series that was broadcast from 2004 to 2005 for one season. The show received very low ratings and was canceled after only thirteen episodes.
The plot centers on a ski resort run by Will Carver (Anson Mount). When his grandfather dies, Will discovers that the resort has been left to his younger brother David (Oliver Hudson), an irresponsible layabout who returns to pick up the reins. There is familial conflict over the resort and over Maria (Alana de la Garza), a woman who previously dated David, but then dates Will. Additional conflict comes from the efforts of land developer Colin Dowling (Mitch Pileggi) and his attractive daughter, Max (Elizabeth Bogush), who falls for David.

Entertainment Gaming Asia Announces Plans To Develop And Operate A Slot Hall In Poipet Near The Cambodia-Thailand Border
Capital expenditures for the Poipet Project, which principally include the development and construction of the facility and gaming equipment, are projected to be approximately $7.5 million. The Company intends to use not more than $5.0 million of the $7.5 million to source top of the line gaming machines in order to enhance its competitive edge. It is expected that this will primarily be done through the purchase of new and used machines as well as machines from its inventory. The capital expenditures for the slot hall will be funded by the Company's internal cash resources.
Clarence Chung, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Entertainment Gaming Asia, commented, "We are making solid progress in expanding our gaming operations in emerging and growing gaming markets in the Indo-China region. This strategic new project in the desirable Poipet market near the Thailand border offers attractive potential returns and expands our footprint and awareness of the "Dreamworld" brand in our target markets. We believe that our expertise in operating slot halls, planned marketing efforts, and focus on providing high-quality machines and superior customer service will afford us the opportunity to garner a meaningful share of this attractive market."

About Me
My New Novel Sloughville was the place to go, throw some dice, water-ski, indulge your fantasy and where, just one man has control. A modern retreat with a playground of exclusive clubs, pretty girls and handsome men. Not to mention police and playboys with expensive tastes on the take or willing to go on the take. Enter Susan Dax, a mysterious woman with lethal fighting skills and a secret. She arrives into the city after receiving a message from a friend requesting her presence …. Fast. Susan Dax did not know how fast until she arrives in Sloughville and finds her friend dead. Suddenly it seems that everyone wanted Susan Dax out of town. The Police make it crystal clear, the influential millionaire, his glamorous estranged wife and his son all threaten to make her stay very unpleasant. However, somewhere in Sloughville, a murderer was having himself a holiday. Susan Dax meant to find that person sitting on easy street and the mysterious man who was the last person to see her friend alive. Because there was one thing the citizen of sloughville did not know about her, she was dangerous in her own way.

Hi, I believe to change the 2007 S3 exhaust (2 piece turbo back) it requires removing the driveshaft? Is this true? Is that a straight forward job? Cheers in advance
Turbo flange bolts meant to be tricky. £80-£100 is the going rate for fitting. Worth it though as the gains are excellent.
Straight forward job... Should have been. I'm now 1 bolt short where the heat shield/cover plate separates the drive shaft and exhaust. Turned out the guy didn't use the little tabs that retain / stop the bolts falling out and now the bolts on a slip road somewhere! does anyone know the correct way of using the little tabs that are on this plate? There's 4 tabs, but looks like only one of the 4 tabs is supposed to be bent over the bolts washer. Can anyone confirm?

- friendliness of staff - general hotel layout almost like a home
- Internet was not very good in the room
- very helpful, courteous, and kind staff - nice breakfast - quiet location
Friendly staff, good breakfast, reasonable price, quiet location outside of the tourist-frantic Sorrento
We walked back and forth from Hotel to Sorrento many times, which was OK for us (we came to the Amalfi coast area to be out and about and active), but this may to be far away from the majority of restaurants and shopping for some people. Bus and train are close and make for easier connections to Sorrento proper, so not a big problem.
Great location and very friendly staff.
WiFi only available in the lobby.
Staff where somewhat helpful for tourist hints. Breakfast was good, nice selection and good coffee.
Beds like trampolines old loud spring every movement you make. The worlds loudest flushing toilets!! You know the bathroom movements of all the guest around you. Not in sorrento but in nearby suburbs.
The friendliness of the staff, quality breakfast and charming place are so good. Conveniently located to sorrento close proximity by train or walk. Really enjoyed my stay there. Antonio was very helpful of what to do and how to get there.
Nothing much. Just shower cubicle are small and wifi not so great
Paulo arranged a driver to pick us up at the Naples airport, met us at the door of Angelina, gave us the spacious, clean, quiet Sweet Angelina room with small balcony. He showed us where to get train tickets, eat, drink, get the bus. Breakfast is outstanding. We liked it so much we went back while in Italy.
Every day either Antonio or Paolo would check with us where we intended to go and provide us with directions tips for saving money and what we should not miss seeing. There recommendations for local restaurants were also awsome
The service was impeccable! They certainly know how to go the extra mile. The room was nice and clean. Area was quiet and safe. Breakfast was good with a nice cappuccino to start of the day. Great value for your money. I can for sure recommend Hotel Angelina.
The shower was quite small, but considering the price I have no complaints!
If you are tired of the tourist hordes in over-priced Sorrento, this is the place to stay. Located in the quiet and narrow historic streets of Sant Agnello, just one stop away from Sorrento on the Circumvesuviana railway line, or alternatively a pleasant 20 minute walk, this is a perfect place for a comfortable stay and a good night's sleep. The young staff are wonderfully efficient, friendly and welcoming. There is an excellent restaurant nearby called "Moonlight".
Everything was just fine... nothing negative to report
All the staff were very helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was great, plenty of variety. Although room and bathroom was small, we didn't spent any time there other than to sleep, so not a big concern. Easy walk to the train. Would go back back without hesitation.
The staf was extremely helpful with places to eat, sightseeing, and the bus/trains. The gentleman serving breakfast was wonderful and very good at his job...
Staff were amazingly friendly and super helpful, room was very clean and serviced every day, location was very handy to everything we needed
Loved this hotel for the price, location, and staff. It is clean, quiet and outside Sorrento so you don't have to deal with the many tourists in that area. Paolo was extremely helpful in planning all our days so take his advice on everything. If you are looking for a luxurious, expensive hotel with your own balcony overlooking the sea, 25 min. walk from Sorrento, stay at the Hotel Corallo for 250 euros per night. If you want a clean, perfectly located hotel with a great, helpful staff, stay here. Also eat at the Moonlight Restaurant - Paolo's suggestion!
Recommendations were helpful. Breakfast was great
Nothing about the hotel. Transportation around the area was tedious. Also crowded.
The hotel is really nice an quiet. Set down the back streets close to the train station. The walk to the main square is breath taking. The staff are very friendly an helpfull. I would recommend this hotel
Staff were absolutely fantastic. Greeted on arrival, clean and comfortable rooms, relaxing terrace and great location. The breakfast was simple but tasty. It offers much more than we expected for the price we paid. Only 20 minutes walk or 2 minutes on train to Sorrento centre.
You cannot criticise anything about this hotel. It offers everything it promises and more. A great base for Sorrento, St Agnello and the rest of the area.
It is a charming hotel in a lovely quiet area which was a godsend after the noise and crowds in Sorrento. Lovely patio where we had drinks in the evening. Paulo and Antonio were fantastic with their maps and suggestions of what to see. Breakfast was very good with the best cappuccinos of the trip. The one hour bus trip along the Amalfi Coast was stunning!! A highlight that should not be missed!! A restaurant only a block away called Moonlight was excellent! Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Close to the train and bus and a short walk get a beautiful view of the coast and gorgeous sunsets. We really appreciated everything and would highly recommend Hotel Angelina.
Paulo and the rest of the staff were so very welcoming and friendly. He in particular showed us so many places to go and ways to get to them -- bus, train, walking . . .we felt like family. Our breakfasts were wonderful and quick, so we were able to keep up with our hectic schedule (our son's wedding).
Such a small thing: the bars of soap could be a bit larger so they could be held in your hand when showering. Okay for one night, but not for a week's stay.
Staff were extremely helpful. Breakfast was great. It was nice to have fresh fruit and yoghurt for a change. A nice neighbourhood. Safe and easy to walk around.
Excellent staff. They gave us a lot of recommendations & maps on what to visit. Good breakfast for a 2* hotel
Closest location to city center and harbour, breakfast is so good and Hotel has polite employees.
Very friendly & helpful staff (the owner and son), good breakfast, room very clean and feel like home. 5-10min walking distance to the train station. Restaurants recommended by Paolo the owner served very good food with reasonable price. Feel safe when walking at night.

We are enjoying our BlueStar range on a daily basis and always receive compliments on its appearance."
Steve Irey - Redding, CA
Owner of a BlueStar 48" Freestanding Gas Range with a Griddle (RNB486GSS)
Published: July, 2007
Marc Clement - HGTVpro.com
The fancier the kitchen design or renovation, the more likely I think it is your customer will want commercial features in their range or cooktop — without getting a full-on professional kitchen. Big commercial, or commercial-esque, ranges don't fit all kitchens, designs, styles or even cooks for that matter.
Now, when you're talking pro features in a residential kitchen, I start seeing silver — like stainless steel silver. Everywhere. Lots of people aren't thrilled with stainless for a variety of reasons, whether it shows smudges, fingerprints, or streaks after cleaning or because they don't want to feel like they're living inside The Silver Surfer's costume.
BlueStar's line of high-performance gas ranges and cooktops offers styles, sizes, price-points — and colors — that look like they can please the chef's culinary as well as design palette. BlueStar says their units have technology and performance found only in professional ranges and that independent studies have shown that BlueStar outperforms other stoves for boiling, simmering, deep frying, stir-frying and searing. Now I eat out a lot (or in my truck), so I can't really comment on the finer points of cuisine with too much aplomb, but BlueStar's feature set easily gets my attention. What also turns my head is the laundry list of performance features to be found throughout this very deep line of products:
BlueStar stoves and cooktops settle out in a huge price range — from $2,900 to $19,000 — so you can also use them as a resource for a wide array of clients. They come in sizes that fit in residential kitchen applications, which I also like.
As they say, now you're cookin' with gas.

That's not enough for me, right?" Actually, 50 concurrent connections is probably enough for you. This misconception stems from a misunderstanding as to what a concurrent connection is.

2/25/2015It was great app in the past. But since wp8.1 it doesn't sync at all. :/
2/15/2015I created an appointment on Mar 16, 2015. The live tile reminded me 702 hours left. I have to calculate the 702 hours mains how many days.. I don't think it make sense
1/20/2015It worked great, but it has started losing track of what day it is. I have to unpin it and start over again. 😒
12/12/2014I like that it shows four items from my calendar, but it doesn't refresh on its own. And getting to other pages in the app takes several steps, which is inefficient.
11/10/2014Great little app. I love that I can still use the main calendar app but get a much more useful tile! My only request would be (if possible) to make it open the default calendar app to the month view, that would be ideal for me. Other than that its perfect!
11/7/2014Stops syncing
10/3/2014Love the view, wish had option to see monthly calendar while in app.
9/23/2014Live Tile isn't updating anymore.
9/16/2014Used to be best cal-tile, but doesnt sync automatically anymore since wp8.1

Billing and Financial Assistance
The hospital bill includes the cost of your room, meals, 24-hour nursing care, laboratory work, tests, medication, therapy, and the services of hospital employees. You will receive a separate bill from your physicians for their professional services. If you have questions about your bills, please call the number printed on each statement.
The hospital is responsible for submitting bills to your insurance company and will do everything possible to expedite your claim. Keep in mind that your policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. That means you are responsible for paying any charges not paid by your insurance.
If you have questions about your hospital bill, please contact our Patient Financial Services offices.
Office Phone: 1- 800-876-3364
Office Hours: 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Monday – Friday
Office Location: 29515 Canvasback Drive, Easton, MD 21601
Email inquiries: firstname.lastname@example.com
Director: 410-822-1000 or 410-228-5511, ext. 8605
Insurance Benefits
University of Maryland Shore Regional Health will attempt to contact patients when services are scheduled to verify demographic and insurance information in advance. This "pre-registration" process will reduce wait times for registration and will avoid potential billing problems. Thank you for assisting our staff when they contact you. We will make every attempt to verify your benefits before your scheduled visit, but it is your responsibility to ensure that services performed will be covered by your insurance company and that all appropriate referrals and authorizations have been obtained by you or your physician. You should contact your insurance company prior to your visit to ensure your services will be covered and to determine your payment responsibility. If prior authorization is required, please ensure that your physician has done so.
Financial Assistance
University of Maryland Shore Regional Health understands that patients may be faced with a difficult financial situation when they incur medical bills that are not covered by insurance. We encourage every patient and family to pursue all available programs that may be offered through the local Departments of Social Services. There are many programs that you and your family may be eligible for, including pharmacy coverage and children's programs, even if your income may be above state guidelines. Shore Regional Health can offer financial assistance to our patients who are denied state assistance. Please speak with a Financial Services Representative to determine if you may be eligible for either full or discounted services under this program. You may also contact our Financial Assistance Coordinator at 800-876-3364, extension 8619 for further information. Our financial aid programs will only apply to your hospital bills, and again, we encourage you to contact the Department of Social Services for assistance in paying all your medical bills. We may reschedule or delay non-emergency services until financial assistance or payment arrangements have been made. Please contact our office immediately to discuss the options that may be available to you.

The allocation of skill points is entirely subjective, depending on what character you're rolling, but I would recommend, for any character, a decent speech and medicine. Speech opens up a broad spectrum of dialogue choices, and medicine grants you more health from stimpaks.
As for weapons; it depends on whether you're going for lead-spitters or laserweapons. Or melee. Or Unarmed.

For years I sought pathways past gate-keepers in order to introduce and develop shared innovations. Brain based renewal innovations for leaders and learners rarely make it through routine portals. Been there? To prance past wardens of yesteryeartakes teaming up with intelligent innovators of tomorrow. Pacesetters with courage to take risks – first must sidestep doors held shut by porters of the past. If your innovation has been barred behind sentients or cynicsyou'll especially enjoy the adventures of brainpower beyond the barriers. It's rarely easy to pioneer innovation in the best conditionsand near impossible to reconfigure tired traditions that able gate-keepers guard. In spite of tactics proven to reboot brainpower and add innovationprotectors of old turf tend to prevent growth as tenaciously as viruses prevent health. It doesn't have to be that way. Move your organization beyond dyed-in-wool custodians of past ruts - Reboot brainpower for future expansion! 1). Rename new programs so they no longer resemble older models fiercely protected by a few dated workerswho hightail it from change like mice run from cats. That way no red flags rise with those who insist on traditions and refuse renewal. Tried to update an innovative development course but cannot get it past an HR committee? Create insteadsmart skill modules for reconfigured practices at work. Then require evidence of these updated skills by all workers who seek promotions. 2). Team with innovation investors from several departments. Create a wider vision for a multi-faceted project made to prosper a new era at work. Gate-keepers find less support to block inventions that propose new practices across differences. Representation across multiple intelligences can catapult cultures and communities over walls that previously blocked growth in any one culture alone. Ruts and routines are learned behavior and create neuron pathways in the human brain for more exclusion. Develop keen inventions across wider groupsracesgenders and agesso that all speak and feel heard at at every stage. Create alliances that pull thoughtful people together from every population groupand expect flawed systems to shrink significantly under the intellectual force that results. 3. Start where you stand nowrather than wait for resources to pour in from a shrinking public purse. You've likely noticed that gatekeepers tend to tighten purse strings rather than fund innovations. Use social media groups to gather insights and enlist resources from people with vested interest in changes for mutual benefits. The human brain comes with ready-to-start equipment to build and sustain inclusive cultures. Cultures where innovation, design and the human brainlead to profitability for all. 4. Refuse intimidation by gatekeeperswho prevent progress because of amygdala related problems such as jealousy. How then do you rev up mental power to succeed when gatekeepers intimidate and bully? One innovative leader Dave Caiazzasaid it best. Fortunatelya new reality is emerging where innovators circle their gatekeepers, inspire others past gridlocks, and circumvent old stomping grounds. What could your workplace achieve beyond gatekeeper barricades? |

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
My wife and I spent quality time in New York before the WSO's performance
NEW YORK CITY -- It was simple serendipity, really.That's how my wife, Athina, and I found ourselves in New York City over the last week, acting as a couple of advance scouts for hundreds of fellow Manitobans who have travelled to the siren-screaming, car-honking heart of Manhattan for tonight's Carnegie Hall appearance of our own Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.
Actually, Athina was there on business, so I tagged along and took notes, which is what people in my business do wherever we go.
What follows is a kind of small serving of our experiences and observations in NYC.
A tasting menu, of impressions about some of people we met, places we went, and the restaurants we can now recommend to those of our fellow travellers to New York City.
Actually, since on any given visit one can only take small bites out of all the Big Apple has to offer, on this trip Athina and I tried to concentrate on the culinary.
Our first and only other trip to New York had been an unplanned, jet-lagged disappointment on the way back from Europe a few years ago.
So this time we engaged the assistance of a friend -- Winnipeg's foremost, yet least-known travel-guide expert. Fort Garry Hotel managing partner Richard Bel, a Renaissance man and foodie whose advice on where to sleep and eat, what's hip -- or even what's hipster -- is always impeccable.
But before we began following his restaurant road map from Manhattan across the East River to Brooklyn, I did some exploring on my own while Athina was in meetings.
Of course, everyone is drawn to sprawling Central Park, but I chanced upon a smaller, more inviting green space in the centre of the city: Bryant Park at Avenue of the Americas and West 42nd Street.
It's a six-acre rectangle of lush lawn and walking paths, visited by 15,000 people on good weather days and populated by even more tulips and trees. It's a place where New Yorkers go to visit an outdoor reading room, play board games, table tennis, or just take their lunch.
A placid park even with the background noise of the sirens and horns.
But I promised you restaurant recommendations and celebrity sightings.
We were lucky to get a last-minute Saturday lunch reservation at Babbo Ristorante in Greenwich Village, one of the celebrated eateries of celebrity chef Mario Battali.
I don't recall what I ate, only what I wrote on the comment card.
"Unpretentious perfection."
Oh, yes, I also remember who we saw. There was a woman from California seated beside us who promptly informed us actor Willem Dafoe was seated just two tables away. She said if this were L.A. there would be people interrupting his meal, demanding a photo with him. But New York is different, she said. People are more respectful. Whereupon she let it be known that, if she had her way, she would be sitting in his lap.
We sampled another Battali restaurant, a small place with no more than 40 seats by my count.
It had a vibe as good as the food, and neither place was especially expensive, even by Winnipeg standards. Just over $100 with wine.
Then there was NoMad, which is not to be confused with Nomad, as we did when we made our initial reservation. We still managed to get a dinner reservation for Saturday night. I was too busy enjoying the meal to take notes, but by the end of the evening I told Athina how I rated it.
"If I were to die tomorrow, I would want this to be my last meal."
What surprised us about New York City?
Well, for one thing, how no one at the restaurants we visited pulled out their cellphone.
But more importantly how welcome we felt and how helpful and friendly everyone was, from cops we asked for directions in Times Square, to passengers on crowded subways, to cabbies and strangers on the street.
In fact, even the woman who nimbly nipped in front of us in the Hilton Hotel concierge line was friendly.
She smiled at me.
And I stared back, dumbstruck.
Not at what just happened, but who she looked like.
"Are you Canadian?"
"Yes," I said.
It was Micha´lle Jean, our former governor general. She was in town to speak at the United Nations.
There are said to be about 700 or more Winnipeggers in New York now for tonight's concert.
But we only bumped into one Winnipegger in six days, and that was wine merchant Tina Jones of Banville & Jones who spotted us in the hotel lobby and ran over to say hello.
Oh yes, we also greeted Jim Ewen, the WSO's big-bearded contra bassoon player just as he was arriving at LaGuardia Airport Tuesday and we were leaving.
Yes, we had to fly home before the WSO's big night at Carnegie Hall.
Alas, the only concert we heard during our stay was the constant serenade of sirens and horns.
The never-ending New York Street Symphony.
