"Could be better"
False statements from website in my opinion. Lobby is only place with wi-fi. This is problematic in may ways to me. You should not state on website you have it if you cannot provide in guest rooms. Place states that are non-smoking facility on grounds, but it is not enforced at all. I saw people smoking in pool area, around common areas, and in pool. […] WRONG. They had pushy concierge trying to sell things on our arrival. Also wrong. I am there to vacation, not have my time wasted. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
The staff were nice and helpful. The room however was a lot smaller than what pictures showed. There was mold on the ceiling and hair from the previous guest left on the bathroom. Saw other hotels that would be a better fit for the money.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good for the price"
The stay was nice. Nothing like some of the harsh reviews I read before leaving. Only thing that was misleading is that the ad showed a jacuzzi tube in the room. The attendant stated it wasn't their web site and did know why they would advertise that. My wife and I stated that if they are not going to honor their ad they shouldn't post it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"what a great week!"
I can't tell you how surprised I was by our wonderful week in this hotel! I booked this hotel on the fly because my so had a basketball tournament and we wanted to turn it into a family beach vacation. After I booked the room I noticed a number of negative reviews for 3 Palms and so I was worried about our stay. All that I can say is WOW and we had […] the NICEST week at this hotel. Our room was SPOTLESS! The kitchenette was fully stocked with dishes, utensils and pots/pans. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was perfect. My kids LOVED the lazy river pool. I liked how part of it is covered and so we could get a break from the sun while still enjoying the water. The beach was convenient and an easy, pleasant walk from the pool. The staff of the hotel was kind and helpful. I used the laundry facilities and they were very nice about getting me change for the machines and when we needed an extra blanket they were happy to accommodate us. The food that was prepared there was very good. I was sorry to have to leave and I would recommend this hotel to anyone in a heartbeat. I will agree with one complaint that I have seen repeated on this site and that is that the elevators were very slow. But that is hardly a deal breaker and not a reason to skip this facility. This is a great hotel and worth money. My family made wonderful memories here! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location!"
This was a last minute stop on a road trip and the hotel did it's purpose. The best part was it's convenient location to everything and the pools it has.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"August 03"
Beautiful room on the seven flor. Clean and nice kitchen. I will stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Rooms were very nice and modern. Parking was located across the street. Front desk called our room at 1:30am because our truck was going to be towed but was thankful for the phone call before the tow.Very hard to pull in front of hotel to check in...very little space. The concierge was very nice but the restaurant pizza was very mediocre . Construction […] next door so u can't sleep in!!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The room was dirty.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A great spot"
We had a wonderful stay at the 3 Palms. The room was clean and comfortable. Also very close to amenities. Everyone working there were nice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"too small"
not enough covered parking got ants in car in outside parkingGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good get away"
Short stay but it was very nice. Right one the beach. Family had lots of fun. Found Hayers in the bed when we pulled the sheets. Inform the front desk and they upgraded us to a bigger better room. The staff was very good and friendly. It was a good getaway.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"The location was great"
My family had a nice time at this hotel. They loved the lazy river.Genuine Expedia guest review
"poor experience"
room is very small, total opposite the photos on the website. the air conditioner was very loud, balcony door didn't open. refrigerator was making clicking sound. we could not sleep at all. when I asked to fix it, nothing was done. we left 2 days earlier, hotel did not want to refund for two nights.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
We had ants in the room. Ryan, he works there cleaned it with no problem and the ants didn't come back . He even asked about it later and told us if we need anything to let him know. There are very nice and caring there.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
We really liked the pools and playing in the pools. The rooms could be a little bigger.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Rate my stay"
Nice big soft bed!! Love the bathroom with big shower. The living has couch and flat screen TV. Love the Ocean front view.Genuine Expedia guest review
It wasn't as bad as the reviews made it seem, like the size of the room. It wasn't that small, it was decent size. There was an odd smell in the kitchen but it wasn't so bad that it bothered us. The location was prefect. The pool area wasn't all that great but still was something to do while you're there. Oh and they lied about free wifi, there was […] no wifi service at all. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Within walking distance of the sights"
My stay was great. The only thing I can complain about was the parking space for checking in and out. (very little space)Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Slightly disappointed"
The rooms were extremely small. not enough room to move around. Laundry was not changed daily, coffee service offered also not refilled. The plus of having a refrig and microwave oven was a huge plus. We had a problem with the poolside Tiki bartender overcharging my husband and not me. Be aware.Genuine Expedia guest review
"over rated"
Didn't get the price I was quoted, no maid service, the front desk people didn't want to do the job to take care of my familyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Get rid of he Fridge"
Unsatisfactory stay for me. I had a pillow in my car I would have done better just sleeping in there. First chilly night I call "0" and asked for an extra blanket; they said they had none. OK, I'll just deal with it. But FINALLY, every 2 minutes the fridge made this loud sound which kept me up all night long. Just like I said before I could have slept […] better in the back seat of my car if I had know it was a fridge in the room that as loud as a generator. Perhaps I should have called but guess I figured no blanket, no extra fridge. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel on beach"
My friends and I stayed for 1 night. Overall, we had a nice stay, room was clean, and we enjoyed staying right on the beach. Minor issue with parking- parking lot is across the street and down from hotel which is easy to miss.Genuine Expedia guest review
"family vacation"
this is the second time that we have stayed here and it is always clean and nice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The manager was nasty unprofessional stated the hotel don't change sheet plus maids leave before u check in and they want u to clean up yourself. He asked me to leave hotel will never return there again location great but hotel is not to my standard.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The pictures were very misleading of the resort. Resort is certainly not the correct word to use. My family and I have stayed a the TRUE word of resorts and this place holds no candle to any of them. The room was extremely small however clean. The service is less to be desired and the hotel amenities can be impressive to those who do not know the finer […] luxuries that TRUE resorts offer. The location is cramped and the surrounding hotels are loud and loaded with non-family oriented patrons. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
NICE HOTEL AND CLOSE TO THE BEACH. THERE WAS NO BREAKFAST AND PARKING AT THE HOTEL WAS VERY LIMITED.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Okay, but moldy"
The rooms themselves are very nice, but we were shocked to find an abundant amount of mold, as in there was no way it could have been overlooked, on the ceiling. Maybe beach resorts have this problem because the front desk was not surprised, but they did immediately move us to a new room (an upgrade to beach front). The new room was nice (it clearly […] had just been treated for mold), but the bed was very stiff and many small things were broken or not working (i.e. the door handle, bathroom lock, etc). Overall it worked for the my two day stay, but there are nicer places in the area. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"You never know who will walk through the door next"
We choose this 3 Palms after a lovely stay at the 3 Palms in Scottsdale AZ. The loading area at the hotel is very limited and congested, which tries one's patience. The rooms are clean, decent size and have kitchenette. The Wi-Fi did not work at any time during our 3 night stay, even after the staff promised it was being fixed. We were told to come […] down to the lobby because it would work there. We didn't pay for the intent to work in the lobby; we paid for it to work in the room. Access to email is important as a small business owner. Although the lack of internet was inconvenient, the worst part was an inebriated couple came through our hotel room door USING A CARD KEY. after calling the desk and explaining what had happened, the staff quickly responded and apologized for their error. We then left the room for a short period of time and upon returning to the room found our card keys no longer opened our door; therefore, being locked out of our room. Although none of these things were life threatening, we do now have diminished views of 3 Palms and are re-evaluating the likelihood of our staying at any 3 Palms is in question.

"Very nice room and property. Staff very nice"
Staff very friendly. Would recommend and will stay there again!Genuine Expedia guest review
It was a good time. Perfect location to the beach. The room,was what we expected with small kitchen and king bed. There was a little grime in the bathroom, but besides that it was clean. I was a little weary of the pools so we didn't use them, but the ocean was just a few steps away so no big deal.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Great hotel just did not like the parkingGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to beach ,rooms very small"
Stay was only for weekend,rooms very small,parking was across street and sometimes hard to get in and out. Very little parking for loadin and unloading car. Front desk personal was good to bad.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice, friendly hotel; very close to the beach."
From the time we arrived , the manager, assistant manager were very helpful ,accommodating, pleasant. We arrived very early they allowed us to check our baggage , sent us to check area eat checked in early. I also left my charger to my camera at home, manager attempted to locate 1 onsite. Pool area and sitting area clean and fun when it was raining […] we were able to lounge about . Onsite pizzeria the food was good and prices were reasonable. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Hotel was decent. Small rooms, pools weren't very impressive. Balcony very small and no chairs. I would stay there again if need be.Genuine Expedia guest review
Loved this hotel. Very clean friendly, lived the pool area, close to everythingGenuine Expedia guest review
"Picture of room not what we got"
The only reason I gave it a bad review was because the picture of the rooms on Hotels.com was not the room we got. Our room was VERY small compared to the pictures of the rooms on the website. Very disappointed.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Enjoyable stay"
This hotel was exactly what we needed for the right price. It had two pools a hot tub and a lazy river and also had beach access. I personally enjoyed the area where they had lounge chairs to tan facing the beach but without all the sand. The restaurant inside was perfect! Was not expensive and was nice to order from without going out. Our room also […] had a full size kitchen, but the only problem was it kept setting off the alarm whenever we cooked on the stove or in the oven. And to clear up the parking issue, no it is not on the lot (there are handicap spaces underneath the hotel with elevator access) but they have about 5 parking lot right across the street. So the parking was not an issue for us. Also, there was barely any noise or weird smells or wet carpet like some of the other reviews said. I had only one issue and that is that I like to have a lot of pillows but they do not have extra. I do think that this hotel was a motel and changed management or bought and became a hotel. It's not the type of hotel where kings and queens stay and be pampered. But it was perfect for our week vacation. In a few more years, I think this hotel could be a 4 or 5 star rating. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very small rooms,horrible cramped parking"
The room was like the photo but certainly did not feel like 396 sq ft. Beware of the parking. Youll have to walk and good luck on getting a space if you have to leave. The hotel is so much nicer outside than in. Rusted bathroom fixtures and all.Genuine Expedia guest review
Definitely not as stated: Rude staff, off site parking, tiny rooms, not even a chair on the balcony, tiny tub, No temper pedic beds, dirty.... Highly dissapointedGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice clean full kitchen"
The room was great. It had a full kitchen, living room, bathroom and good size bedroom. There was no view but it wasn't a big deal. Our housekeeper was very pleasant too. I was a bit disappointed in the "gym" facility because there were no free weights at all! Only a few cardio machines. Wifi also didn't work in our room... Aside from those little minor […] issues we really enjoyed our stay. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Me and my boyfriend planned this get away ahead of time. The room was ready a bit BEFORE they said it would be, so they gave me a call to let me know. It was nice of them to do that for me. The room was all of what we expected it to be for the price we got it for. Clean, smelled nice, and the service was pretty darn good too. One downside was the parking […] situation. You have to park across the street where they have like 4 or 5 different areas, which is okay. It does suck if uve had a very busy/active day, but still it's not all that bad. They do allow you 15 minutes to unload infront of the door. To sum it all up I would DEFINETLY recommend this hotel to someone. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Me and my family had a great stay!!!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I reserved 4 rooms at this hotel. The staff is very unprofessional. One of my four rooms wasn't clean one day. Another one of my rooms had money taken from it. The staff isn't friendly at all and all of the staff looks rough not easy on the eyes at all. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone at all.Genuine Expedia guest review
"A good experience"
We enjoyed our stay here. Rooms clean, good location on beach, nice kitchenette in room. However the building is beginning to show it age and could use a face lift.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel on the beach for a decent price"
Great experience when I went to the beach. Great service and it's close to everything you would do on the beachGenuine Expedia guest review
"Close to beach and attractipns"
Tiny room with view of aide of parking garage. Despite generous daily tips, housekeepers didn't keep up with toilet paper or even soap. Very loud exhaust fan in bathroom. Upon check in, the one light in room was unreliable and had to be swapped. Room had NO workspace or chair, so could only work on the beds.Genuine Expedia guest review
We had a pleasant stay at 3 Palms for our first weekend getaway to Myrtle Beach. The hotel is beginning to show its age and is somewhat cramped. However, it is overall very well kept and comfortable. The staff were very helpful during our stay. The oceanfront location is perfect for visit to the beach. Since it was a rainy weekend, we spent much of […] our time exploring Broadway at the Beach, which was a short drive away. Parking near the hotel was not much of a problem. This section of Myrtle is very densely packed during tourist season, so some leniency must be given to the hotel itself and the parking situation. I would consider the price high for the quality if the hotel were anywhere else, but it was fair for the area. Overall, I'd stay in 3 Palms again if we decided to return to Myrtle Beach. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"clean and friendly"
My husband and I enjoyed our recent stay at 3 Palms. The staff was nice, it was very clean, and our suite had a full den, kitchen, nice bath, and king sized bed in the bedroom. I would stay there again, but would want an oceanfront suite. Parking was the only complaint that I had about the place.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Room too small"
The room was only 307 square feet. No space for 2 adults to walk around. Bathroom towel rack fell off wall. When we checked in on Thursday around 5pm the front desk employees didn't even greet us. Check in was a long long process. Had to park across the street. The walk through the garage to get to the pool and beach was creepy. The hot tub looked so […] dirty that none of us would even think about getting in. The pool was nice. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Loud and Dirty"
I have stayed in Myrtle Beach multiple times a year for my entire life, and never had a complaint about any hotel I have stayed at, until now. My husband and I booked a room at 3 Palms this past weekend for my 30th birthday, for 2 nights (Friday and Saturday night). We were not at the hotel for most of the day on Friday. We got back to the room around […] 930 Friday night, and from then on, it was terrible. When I looked in the shower, there was hair all over it. I had to clean the shower myself before I could use it. There was hair all over the floor of the bathroom. The worst part is that there was body hair all over the sheets in bed. It was disgusting. we slept on top of the bedding. The noise from the surrounding rooms was so bad, we were not able to fall asleep until almost 330 in the morning. At 630 or 7 Saturday morning, we were woken up by LOUD thumping music from the pool area. We were only on the second floor, so it was very, very loud. We decided that was enough and checked out that morning. We received no apology from anyone. Not one word. They took our room keys, said they would check us out, and that was it. I was pretty shocked that nobody offered an apology, or even a partial refund on our stay. Birthday ruined. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

2degrees boss mum on float talk
Relevant offers
Financial analysts speculate that mobile telco 2degrees may list on the stock exchange this year.
2degrees chief executive Eric Hertz responded to the rumours by saying the company did not comment on speculation.
The mobile company adopted a new constitution just before Christmas, which can sometimes be a prelude to a public listing.
But sources said the changes, which amended the processes the company needed to follow when issuing new shares, could also be explained by a desire to ensure existing shareholders were treated fairly when they were tapped for extra capital.
2degrees has raised fresh capital from its existing shareholders, including American majority-owner Trilogy International Partners, several times to fund its growth during its start-up phase, during which it has accumulated losses of $247 million.
This year it is likely to face the additional expense of buying rights to radio spectrum at a Government auction, to pave the way fora 4G technology investment.
One analyst said 2degrees would be sure to attract interest from retail investors in a float given its strong brand, but the stock could prove hard to value because the company had yet to break even.
Co-founder Tex Edwards was issued with a million new shares in 2degrees with a nominal value of more than $1m on December 20, in an apparent settlement of a now-resolved legal dispute. That increased his stake from 0.9 per cent to 1.2 per cent.

Rode a dhow for an hour on the Dubai Creek. In Old Dubai and before or after your ride you can explore the gold or spice souks. Worth a visit
Bateaux Dubai did not let us down. The food was surprisingly very good and the drinks were free flowing once we had set off. There's not really that much to see but it is nevertheless worthwhile just for the adventure and something different. Many thanks to The Meydan Hotel for the use of their brand new Jaguar XL and the...
atmosphere was lovely. It was shisa with friends, sitting in the open and enjoying the sunset. Awesome place in a great location.
If one is in Dubai, one must take a couple of Abra rides up and down the creek from Bur Dubai to Deira. The Creek has been the city's lifeline for centuries and remains so even today. its clean and offers a nice way to spend a lazy afternoon.
The creek is full of activity and it is interesting just to spend some time to watch for a bit. We took a boat ride from the Dubai Museum area across to the Gold and Textile Souks. Very reasonable at 1 dirham and gives you a good flavour for the area.
Food was not as advertised it had been sitting out for some time prior to our arrival. The trip was a bit on the dull side, time may have been better spent wandering.
Took the little ferry boats across the river and back. Quick and cheap little water taxi service up and down the creek
We enjoyed our visit to the Gold and Spice Souks with the interaction with the locals. We reached it by crossing on an ancient dhow for which we paid the owner one dirham (20p). No life jackets or health & safety instructions here! It was however the only bargain to be found in Dubai and well worth the experience.

Because The Almanac office is on Alameda so they know when the power goes out. If you call them & tell them your neighborhood is out-of-power, I'm sure they'll publish that news as well. Can't publish if they don't know.

I used to make this exact soup back in the 60's, but it kind of got "lost" over the years. It was one of my favorites! I'm going shopping when the weather allows me out and I will be stocking up my freezer with 2 cup portions to get me through to Spring. I thank you for posting it.

First time to order with MisterArt. Needed bulk acrylic, gesso, gel and brushes for 6 large pieces for a church project. Didn't know what to expect but did find the larger quantities I needed. The canvas, gesso, gel and brushes were just what we needed. Can't wait for the show on April 6. Working with young people on this project and they're excited.

Report: Dwight Howard wants trade to Nets. Again. Oh, and he thinks the Magic blackmailed him.
Jul 1, 2012, 12:14 AM EDT
Dwight Howard has informed the Orlando Magic that he wants a trade out of Orlando to the New Jersey Nets.
Yeah, I know. You've heard this before. But now it's with a new GM! And it's extra-ridiculous! Let's get this offseason started!
From ESPN:
Dwight Howard met with new Orlando Magic general manager Rob Hennigan on Friday and told him he wants to be traded to the Brooklyn Nets, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
Howard and Hennigan sat down face to face in Los Angeles, meeting for the first time since Hennigan became Orlando's GM nearly two weeks ago.
Hennigan was noncommital when Howard told him he wants to be traded to Brooklyn, sources said.
Hennigan did not tell Howard whether he would trade him. His intentions were merely to hear the thoughts of the Magic superstar.
via Sources — Dwight Howard tells Orlando Magic GM he wants trade to Brooklyn Nets – ESPN.
So Howard, after claiming he wanted a trade last winter, then rescinding it, then putting it back out there, then saying he'd stay for another year, then backing out, then finally signing his opt-in, wants out again.
At some point, if you're the Magic, this isn't worth it, right? It's just too big of a headache? Or back ache? Or pain in the backside? I mean, that's where we're at, right? It cannot be worth Howard's considerable production and All-Star play to deal with this nonsense day by day, hour by hour, throwing the organization into constant drama by leaking information to people left and right of this nature. There has to be a point where the Magic are just like "Fine, go. We'll take MarShon Brooks and a trade exception. Just don't ever talk to us again." Because this stuff is clown shoes.
But wait, it gets better!
But since then, he has grown increasingly disgruntled with the organization, even telling people close to him that he feels the Magic blackmailed him into signing the "opt-in" clause.
Howard shared his feelings of being blackmailed by the Magic with the NBA Players Association last week, sources said. He — either himself or through his representatives — approached the union wondering if he might have a legal complaint against the club.
via Sources — Dwight Howard tells Orlando Magic GM he wants trade to Brooklyn Nets – ESPN.
Yup, that's right. Dwight Howard, after the Magic fell all over himself for the entire year trying to make him happy, after signing Gilbert Arenas and Glen Davis, after firing Otis Smith and Stan Van Gundy, thinks that the Magic blackmailed him into signing an opt-in clause.
This story cannot get crazier. It's not possible. There is no room for crazy. Go sell crazy somewhere else. The Magic are full-up on crazy. And Amway. But mostly crazy.
So Howard wants out of Orlando and into Brooklyn with Deron Williams. He's not bending on where he wants to go to give them outs. He's not quietly sitting out his final year to enter free agency. He's just causing more of a ruckus and more drama for his team.
Welcome to the team, Rob Hennigan. Have fun with that.

where would you go this Columbus Day week end to see Fall Foliage?
Northeast Fall Foliage
4 Replies | Jump to last reply |
Report Abuse
We always climbed Mt Chocorua off NH 16 south of Conway on Columbus Day weekend. We always saw plenty of color.
Draw a line across VT, NH, and interior Maine at that level. If you stay north of that you are pretty sure to find color. Coastal Maine is too warm to be peak, most likely. There will be color down into Massachusetts as Columbus Day is late this year.
Expect to have plenty of company on the roads but it isn't as bad as people say. Lines for meals and finding a place to stay would be bigger issues. But you may bring a picnic and go back home at th end of the day. Monday will be worse than Sunday.

As Ackislander pointed out, wherever you can find a place to stay. If you stayed in a place like Concord or Manchester NH you could easily travel to best color. If you have 2-3 nights you could include VT on one day. If you need to head south, Rt 101 thru Peterborough and over to Keene NH and Brattleboro VT is a nice ride with lots of dining options in Keene (although it's a college town so might be very crowded).
Ackislander also makes a good point about the date so you might choose some place in the Berkshires/western MA. If color is better north, it's not far to head north for the day.
I would choose Warner NH's foliage festival which I haven't been able to attend in quite a few years.
There's going to be nice foliage all over the place so I would head to an area with good and plentiful restaurants. A picnic is a good idea. Or eat lunch at a nice restaurant but do take-out or something local for dinner.

A skydive for charity is an event that captures the imagination of potential sponsors unlike any other, writes timeoutdoors' Challenges Editor Elaine Aronson.
When it comes to raising money for charity, what better way to do it than out in the great outdoors, feeling the wind in your hair and a sense of total freedom? And what better way to feel the wind in your hair than tumbling through the sky, thousands of feet above the ground?
For many, this is a life-changing experience, one of the biggest thrills possible. But, for most, overcoming the fear is a huge challenge!
The numbers alone are enough to instill feelings of awe and admiration in even the coldest of hearts. Tell anyone that you're jumping out of a plane at nearly 14,000ft (4,250 metres), or two and a half miles (4km), in the air, before free-falling for a minimum of 45 seconds followed by a five-minute parachute descent and they, hopefully, won't be able to get their wallets out quick enough. And that's just one jump option.
Of course, it goes without saying that these challenges are not for the faint-hearted. Jumping from a plane is something most of us have never had to do, and most of us would like to keep it that way. Help is at hand however, and a charity tandem skydive is a good place to start.
Having an experienced instructor strapped to your back will enable reassurance and confidence at the crucial moment. Far from being weak, it's a sensible option, providing the thrill of the jump while maintaining your own safety.
Skydiving for charity is a personal challenge like no other. Take a look through the skydives and click for further details of the jump and charity/charities. You can then enter a few basic details to be instantly emailed further information.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Green group fears feds' streamlining of reviews
OTTAWA -- A group of environmental lawyers, doctors and academics says the federal government will endanger health and safety if it curtails the environmental assessment process in a "haphazard" way.
They fear the federal government, in its zeal to streamline approvals for resource projects, is developing a process that would be blind to long-term effects on people and communities.
"We know that some of the reforms they are planning are going to drastically limit public participation and probably be at the expense of the environmental protection," said lawyer Rachel Forbes of West Coast Environmental Law.
If anything, she said, the federal government needs to strengthen public participation in environmental reviews, since local people know their environment best.
"We can't afford to get these decisions wrong -- the whole point of environmental assessment is to protect Canadians and their environment from danger," said Gideon Forman, executive director of Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment.
Ottawa is soon expected to announce changes for environmental reviews to speed up the system.
Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver says he wants to shorten time allotted to public hearings, reduce overlap with the provinces and clarify how best to consult aboriginal communities. He wants to sharpen the government's focus on major projects and not get too concerned about the small ones.
"The ultimate goal is simple in itself, but not that simple to attain: one project, one review in a clearly defined time period," he said in a speech in Calgary last week.
He says Canada is scaring away investors with convoluted and arcane procedures. Despite tinkering by several different governments over the years, including Stephen Harper's, Oliver says a major overhaul is needed to clean up and modernize the process.
But Oliver and Harper have also complained about the long list of intervenors at hearings into the Northern Gateway pipeline to the West Coast, branding them as "radicals" backed by foreign money who are needlessly delaying things.
Plus, the government cut short a parliamentary committee's hearings into reform of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.
Those moves suggest Ottawa would rather push projects through without hearing much from anyone, critics say.
Oliver has said he is committed to environmental protection and to hearing from "legitimate" interests and aboriginal people, but wants a process that can't be hijacked by special interests.

Satellite TV Subscribers May See First-Ever Quarterly Decline
NEW YORK -- Last year's second quarter brought a shock for the pay TV industry that set off the cord cutting debate. For the first time ever, pay TV in the U.S. lost subscribers as satellite TV and telecom video gains couldn't offset a steep cable decline.
Now, the industry looks set for another negative first. Some analysts now expect satellite TV, which has been on an uninterrupted growth path since its U.S. launch in the mid-1990s, to show its first-ever subscriber decline for the second quarter.
Early on Thursday, DirecTV, the bigger of the two U.S. satellite TV providers, reported a second-quarter net subscriber gain of only 26,000 -- the company's lowest ever and well below the Wall Street consensus of 57,000.
"With today's below-expectations growth at DirecTV, it seems likely that the satellite industry will post its first-ever quarterly subscriber loss in the U.S. (expectations are for a contraction at Dish Network)," Sanford Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett said in a note to investors.
"Our forecast calls for a small subscriber loss" at Dish, but after weaker-than-expected results at other pay TV firms, including DirecTV, in recent days, "the risks have risen for a more substantial drop," he told The Hollywood Reporter.
Wunderlich Securities analyst Matthew Harrigan also expects a satellite TV user decline after the weaker DirecTV figures. He has forecast Dish to lose 35,000 users on a net basis.
Bryan Kraft, analyst at Evercore Partners, told THR that, unlike other industry watchers, he had already expected total sat TV subscribers to fall into negative territory for the second quarter as his DirecTV forecast was more bearish than that of his peers.
He predicts a 100,000 quarterly drop for Charlie Ergen's smaller competitor Dish, which would add up to a 74,000 decline in the second quarter.
Evercore or an affiliate of it has acted as a manager or co-manager of a public offering of securities by the company in the last 12 months, and Evercore or an affiliate owns 1 percent or more of the firm's stock.
"We've estimated that Dish could add 50,000 [subscribers] in the second quarter, but this could be optimistic now," said Miller Tabak analyst David Joyce in echoing the more bearish expectations after DirecTV's results. "This will create headlines that consumers again are leaving the multichannel video distribution market, but probably due to economic factors."
On DirecTV's earnings conference call, chairman and CEO Mike White cited economic and competitive issues. "The pickup in competitive intensity that we saw coming out of the first quarter has yet to abate," he said. And he said that consumers are "increasingly under stress from an ongoing weak economy."
In the second quarter of 2010, DirecTV had added 100,000 subscribers, and Dish had lost 19,000.
The second quarter is typically the slowest for pay TV firms as students move and so-called "snowbirds," retirees who have a winter home in the South that they leave in the late spring, disconnect their service.
"Uncertainty about whether or not we would have an NFL football season may have weighed on gross additions in the quarter," Moffett added. "Still, subscriber growth is unmistakably slowing."
The U.S. pay TV business is already saturated, analysts have long said. "Subscriber growth is a zero sum game," said Moffett.
He also reminded investors that Ergen "has already made clear his disaffection with the core satellite business, and is looking to diversify away -- or at least to radically re-craft the portfolio of surrounding assets" with the recent acquisition of Blockbuster and wireless spectrum.
White on his call spoke of "favorable" subscriber trends so far in the third quarter, suggesting that "we have also regained some of our lost momentum."
But Moffett expressed concerns about the third quarter, which he said "usually isn't any better than the second, so it's easy to imagine that this weakness will be with us for a while."

Recipe: Thai Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry
Weeknight Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
As much as I love eating out at fancy restaurants and watching TV shows like Top Chef, the cooking that is closest to my heart is home cooking — dishes that are humble and maybe a little homely, but feel like the food equivalent of a warm hug. This gingery chicken stir-fry is home cooking at its best: quick and simple to prepare, with a punch of flavor that manages to be both exciting and deeply comforting. Make it once and you might never call for Thai takeout again.
Recipe: Ginger and Cilantro Baked Tilapia
Weeknight Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
I've been getting a lot of requests for fish recipes recently, and so today I thought I would revisit this extra-simple, extra-fast dinner that delivers huge flavor in a foolproof package.
Fish cooks so fast — this dish is so convenient for those last-minute meals. It was one of my first "grown-up" recipes, a quick meal for busy evenings after work. I would turn to this frequently when living alone or with roommates. It never failed to please, with the fresh, aromatic flavors of cilantro, ginger, and sesame.
Recipe: Italian Wedding Soup
Recipes from The Kitchn
When it comes to soups, I can easily say I have a hands-down favorite: Italian Wedding Soup. My experience of it is neither particularly Italian, nor is it matrimonial, rather it was one of the first real meals my mother fed me when I was a baby. The legend is that I'd slurp it loudly, humming, and the broth would dribble down my neck, soaking the neck of my shirt.
Recipe: Bean Chilaquiles with Avocado & Queso Fresco
Weekday Breakfast Recipes from The Kitchn
Here's a classic one-dish Mexican breakfast originally conceived as a way to use up leftover tortillas. It doesn't usually include beans, but this version was invented one hungry morning when a perusal of the refrigerator turned up some leftover cooked beans, a half-jar of salsa and a few other odds and ends.
Don't worry if you don't have all the ingredients. As long as you have the beans, salsa, tortillas and eggs, the dish will satisfy. You'll have breakfast on the table in the time it takes to brew the coffee.
Recipe: Freezer Taco Kits
Freezer-Friendly Recipes from The Kitchn
Growing up in Southern California, I consider tacos to be a weekly standard. With taco kits, Taco Tuesday has never came together so easily! Prep a favorite taco filling — like this seasoned ground beef — and bag it up for freezing. Store it together with a bag of cheese and a packet of tortillas and dinner is ready in five minutes whenever you like.
Recipe: Authentic Spaghetti alla Carbonara
Weeknight Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
Spaghetti alla Carbonara: when it's good, it can make your eyes roll back in your head with pleasure. It lurks there, beckoning, batting its eyelashes on Italian menus. When you don't order it, you usually end up wishing you had.
Do you ever make it at home? Seems easy enough, right? It's basically just bacon, eggs, and pasta. But like most things with few ingredients, there is a technique that binds all the magic together and if you don't have really great ingredients and a grasp of a few key pieces of technique, you'll be let down — possibly with scrambled eggs on your pasta.
To help you avoid this bummer and give you the opportunity to experience a classic in its greatest form, I spoke to several ace chefs and got the scoop on how to make really authentic spaghetti alla carbonara.

The London Borough of Southwark
Southwark Southwark is the historical home of the capital's arts and entertainments industry. London's first theatres, the Globe, the Hope and The Rose were all built there in the 16th century and Shakespeare's plays first performed there. The rebuilt Globe theatre is now one of the best theatres in London, while the neighbouring Tate Modern, housed in the stupendous Bankside Power Station, is among the world's most popular art galleries. London's modern City Hall and the magnificent, gothic Southwark Cathedral, complete a remarkable set of buildings that show five centuries of London's architectural achievements. Next to Bankside, the borough takes in the up-and-coming areas of Bermondsey, Camberwell and Peckham, where Only Fools and Horse was set. This part of London is currently popular with young professionals and artists due to its proximity to the centre of town and low property prices. Nearby Borough Market is heaving with fresh, organic food and drink. In the south of the borough lies leafy, suburban Dulwich which forms a welcome contrast to the bustling energy that defines the rest of one of London's oldest areas.

DEFINITION of 'Comparative Advantage'
The ability of a firm or individual to produce goods and/or services at a lower opportunity cost than other firms or individuals. A comparative advantage gives a company the ability to sell goods and services at a lower price than its competitors and realize stronger sales margins.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Comparative Advantage'
Having a comparative advantage - or disadvantage - can shape a company's entire focus. For example, if a cruise company found that it had a comparative advantage over a similar company, due ito its closer proximity to a port, it might encourage the latter to focus on other, more productive, aspects of the business.
It is important to note that a comparative advantage is not the same as an absolute advantage. The latter implies that one is the best at something, while the former relates more to the costs of the particular endeavor.

CRE & RRE Outlook
Bay Area development buoyed by chemicals and health care
- Vickie Ashwill, Special to Houston Business Journal
Experts expect a year of continued growth in the southeast Houston area for 2013 as the national economy improves, new businesses and medical facilities open their doors, and home construction gets under way.
"We're thinking optimistically," said Bob Mitchell, president of the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership. "Our sales tax numbers are double-digit over the previous year, so that is a good sign."
He said his office was working on 47 different projects ranging from health care to chemicals to office — all indicators of a good year to come.
The economy in the area seems to be fine with stable growth, said Coy Davidson, senior vice president in Houston for Colliers International.
"Most of the people laid off from NASA got jobs in the energy industry," he said. "Shopping centers are full, people are eating out, and the housing market didn't have a serious downturn."
However, there is still concern about the federal deficit, and getting through March and April will be important, said Mitchell.
"None of us are going to know the answer until Congress and the president get on the same page."
Federal spending cuts could impact NASA's budget if an 8.2 percent proposed cut passes through Congress. It would mean up to 5,610 jobs cut at the Johnson Space Center — an impact of more than $320 million.
The uncertainty has not stopped continued growth in the area, especially in the construction of specialty chemical plants and health care facilities.
Specialty chemical companies are expanding product lines with $20 billion of new construction along the Houston Ship Channel, Mitchell said. That's good news with a negative twist — there is a lack of skilled laborers.

Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky was born on December 16, 1866 in Moscow. Kandinsky is well known for creating the Yellow-Red-Blue oil painting in 1925. The painting depicts both sides of the human mind with the left representing creativity and the right representing logic.
In Kandinsky's earlier years, he did not start doing abstract art. Kandinsky's parents saw a future for him in law and economics. By 1886, Kandinsky was enrolled in the Law Faculty of Moscow University. In 1892, Kandinsky received his law degree, …
