My Fire Department maintains its aerial firefighting/rescue fleet of helicopters at Fire Station 41 at the Fullerton, California Airport. Sadly, I missed my opportunity to fly before retiring. I'll never forget climbing out of a similar helicopter during a brush fire: I had to set-up a radio repeater for fire communications, and the steep terrain afforded only enough space for the pilot to put one 'skid' on the ground, while I did my task. He was an excellent pilot, and as we flew down the winding canyon going back to base camp, it was more like a race car swerving around sharp curves. That was a way back; nowadays he would lose his career.
Here's some video from YouTube wn.com/Orange_County_Fire_Authority_Bell_412_Helicopter_N...

Greg you've had a very interesting life, any chance your going to right a book?
from climbing mountains when you were in school to stepping out of Helicopters on a steep slope to light a fire, these are not OUR everyday occurrences.
Great shot, and quite an exciting occupation, for sure.
I climbed out of enough helicopters in Viet Nam to last me for the rest of my life..........

Jets place S Miles on IR, promote WR Enunwa
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP)—The New York Jets have placed safety Rontez Miles on the injured reserve list and promoted wide receiver Quincy Enunwa from the practice squad.
The Jets announced the move Saturday, a day before their season finale at Miami against the Dolphins.
Miles spent most of the season on the practice squad. He needed emergency leg surgery last week after hurting his shin area in a collision with a teammate in practice.
Enunwa was a sixth-round draft pick out of Nebraska last May and spent the first 15 games on the practice squad. He had a domestic violence charge against him dismissed in court in October after an incident at a hotel near the team's facility Aug. 31.

Open the door to our Playa Caribe condo and the view of the sparkling turquoise blue waters of the Caribbean will take your breath away! You will walk into a deluxe oceanfront condo on the 2nd floor overlooking our swimming pool that is exclusively for Playa Caribe guests. You are only steps from our white sand beach on Half Moon Bay that is filled with lounge chairs and palapas for you to use. And then you walk into the warm waters of Half Moon Bay and are soon snorkeling with turtles, rays, parrot fish---an unforgettable experience.
There are many condo buildings in Akumal but Playa Caribe is the only one to have it's own reverse osmosis water system--we purify our water so that you can drink water right from the tap! If you are looking for a deluxe condo to spend your vacation you will not be disappointed when renting our condo. Amenities includes daily maid service, 24 hr. security, private parking, reception manager, full time maintenance men, purified water and much more.
Description of our condo, Playa Caribe 6: As art lovers we have filled our condo with art purchased from local artists and Mexican folk art. The white walls of our spacious condo provide the perfect backdrop for our bright, lively collection of art There are 2 oversized bedrooms (1 king bed in master bdrm. and 2 dbl. beds in 2nd bedroom) with handwoven Oaxacan spreads on all beds. There are 2 full baths with handpainted sinks, high quality lines, tiled baths in each. The kitchen is fully equipped. The living room and dining area chairs/couches are covered in bright, tropical fabrics. Our oceanfront patio is fully furnished and we also have 2 back patios looking out to the jungle with a bbq on one patio and small table/chairs on the 2nd patio.
In our living room area we have a TV, CD player, DVD player, IPOD dock, books, games, cards. We have beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards in our closet for guests to use. Hairdryers are in each bath and an iron, ironing board, safe are all in the closet for our guests.
Playa Caribe staff & their services: When you are a guest at Playa Caribe you will have daily maid service, private parking, 24 hour security, maintenance men on site and the services of our front desk manager, Agustin. He can make any reservations you need from renting a golf cart or car, arranging transportation, reserving tee times, dinner reservations, excursions including the Sian Kaan Biosphere trip, reconfirming your flights---Agustin is there to help you with any request you may have.
Why we love Akumal!: When we 'found' Akumal 10 years ago we fell in love with this charming village and Playa Caribe. We knew that this was where we wanted to own our vacation home. We have not been sorry we made this decision and continue to love the time we spend there. Akumal is in the heart of Riviera Maya, the home of the Mayan people, and they are gentle, loving, honest people and we are proud to call so many our friends. Akumal is home to many wonderful people and is filled with restaurants, boutiques, grocery stores, medical services so that you will really have all you need for a great vacation.
We begin our day walking the few steps from our door to the warm waters of Half Moon Bay to snorkel before breakfast. This is the beginning of a perfect day in our own piece of paradise---Playa Caribe and Akumal. Our days are filled with beach time, enjoying reading under a palapa/on our oceanfront patio or sipping a margarita on the beach at our own 'happy hour' before walking to dinner at La Lunita.
We (my husband, 13 year old son and I) have just returned from an amazing vacation in Akumal, Mexico. We stayed at Playa Caribe in Condo #6. Myrna, the owner, was wonderful to deal with from start to finish. She promptly and thoroughly answered all of our many questions both pre-booking and post-booking, sent us a packet of helpful information and was eager to share her love and knowledge of Akumal.
We did a lot of reseach about rentals in Akumal before deciding on Playa Caribe
which we chose for these reasons: location on Half Moon Bay, 24 hour security on site, daily maid service, onsite manager,swimming pool, water purification system.
We settle on #6 for these reasons: Myrna was very responsive to all of our pre-booking quetions so we thought she would be a good person ot rent from (we were correct in that regard), we wanted to be on the 2nd floor since there is no elevator in the building, and we could see from the photos of #6 that it is well maintained as a home and not just a rental unit (this also proved to be true).
When we arrived at the condo it met all of our expectations and then some. The condo has 2 bedroom each with it's own bathroom and small balcony. It also has a kitchen/dining/living area with full glass windowns facing the bay and front balcony. The condo was very clean, nicely decorated and extremely spacious--our guess is about 1200 square feet. The kitchen is very well equipped for all our needs. There is no overn but has a full stove top with 4 burners, a microwave, toaster oven, toaster if you need them. There are TVs in the master bedroom and living room. We also enjoyed the varied music CDs provided in the condo.
The view of Half Moon Bay is stunning from the balcony of the living room and while the sun is rather strong in the early morning we found it the perfect place for afternoon happy hour or reading a book.
The Wifi is outstanding. The daily maid service is good and Agustin, the reception manager is very helpful. The security guard at not is very attentive and the maintenance crew at the condo works extremely hard.
There are lounge chairs and shaded umbrellas at the condo pool and sandy beach directly in front of the condo. We were there for Christmas and New Years week (undoubtedly the busiest time of the year) and we never encountered a problem with the pool or beach being too noisy or crowded.
We highly recommend Playa Caribe #6. Myrna is a wonderful host, the condo is fabulous and Akumal is magical.
Mexico's Caribbean coastline is home to the charming seaside village of Akumal in the heart of the Riviera Maya. Only 68 miles south of the Cancun airport and 16 miles north of the historic Mayan archeological site of Tulum, Akumal beckons travelers interested in beautiful beaches, unforgettable snorkeling and diving, exploring ancient Mayan ruins, cenote and cave exploring, ATV trips, day trip to the Sian Kaan biosphere (listed by Conde Nast Magazine as one of the top 5 eco-tours in the world) and much more. Ya-Kul lagoon is a premier spot for snorkeling and is only a 10 minute walk from our condo (listed by National Geographic Traveler Magazing as one of the top 25 places to see in Mexico) .Our oceanfront condo is located in Playa Caribe condominiums in the center of Half Moon Bay in Akumal. Our building caters to those looking for the best place in town to stay---and our condo, #6, will not disappoint those looking for a deluxe oceanfront condo.

Scott T. Hamilton, President and CEO of AdvantageWest, Named Executive Director of Appalachian Regional Commission
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
July 2014
WASHINGTON, July 30, 2014—Scott T. Hamilton, president and CEO of AdvantageWest Economic Development Group, has been appointed executive director of the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), a partnership of federal, state, and local government working for sustainable community and economic development in Appalachia. Hamilton begins his appointment in September.
|Scott T. Hamilton has been appointed executive director of the Appalachian Regional Commission. Hamilton has been with the AdvantageWest Economic Development Group for nearly a decade, serving as its president and CEO since 2009. (Photo courtesy of AdvantageWest)
AdvantageWest is a nonprofit regional economic development organization that has served the western region of North Carolina, an area of about 10,000 square miles, since 1994. Each year ARC provides funding for economic development projects in the 13-state Appalachian Region, including western North Carolina, in areas such as business development, education and job training, telecommunications, infrastructure, community development, housing, and transportation. During Hamilton's nine-year tenure at AdvantageWest—the past five years as head of the organization—ARC grants have helped support AdvantageWest programs such as Blue Ridge Food Ventures.
ARC Federal Co-Chair Earl F. Gohl said he was "very pleased that Scott is joining the Commission as its executive director. He is a longtime resident of the Region whose career has focused on creating stronger economies in rural North Carolina. His history of leadership in working collaboratively and building partnerships to attract investment fits nicely with the mission of the Appalachian Regional Commission."
The 2014 states' co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission, Alabama Governor Robert Bentley, said that "on behalf of the Appalachian Regional Commission, I welcome Scott Hamilton as the new executive director. Having lived and worked in Appalachia for decades, Scott understands the Region and its assets and challenges. He has the experience, leadership skills, and vision to develop and advance programs that respond to the needs of Appalachian residents."
W. Thomas (Tom) Alexander, chair of the AdvantageWest board of directors, said that "we are extremely proud that one of western North Carolina's own was selected to take the helm at the Appalachian Regional Commission. This appointment certainly recognizes his years of successfully leading economic development efforts across our broad geographic region. We offer our heartfelt congratulations to Scott and appreciate his commitment to job creation in our area."
Hamilton stated that he was "humbled about the confidence the Appalachian Regional Commission has put in me. It will be an exciting challenge to go from the leadership of a 23-county organization to one covering 13 states, and I am grateful for the opportunity."News Source : Scott T.

How to transfer excitement into business results.
Marketers are rushing to ramp up their social media marketing efforts. Despite the excitement, the bottom-line results from social media marketing are elusive. A recent SIIA study looked at marketers of software, a group on the leading edge of tech and social media adoption. Sixty percent of these very advanced marketers reported that less than 5 percent of their deals originated from social media marketing.
So how can the excitement and potential around social media marketing transfer into real business results for marketers? We must remember that social media marketing is new and still evolving. Marketers are charging into this brave new world, learning and iterating the model. Three stages of social media marketing have emerged: amateur, messenger, and publisher. It is only as marketers evolve to this third and most advanced stage, publisher, that the potential of social is realized and enormous bottom-line benefits are generated.
Amateur Stage
"We've got to get social!" declares the CEO and the marketers rush into action. They jump on Facebook. On YouTube. On WordPress and Twitter. On Slideshare. On Tumblr. On Pinterest and LinkedIn.
In this stage it is chaotic. Social is the directive, but nobody knows the plan or the specific objectives. There is poor coordination: often different departments and groups are all tweeting independently without the benefits of focus and scale. Little is accomplished, but it is a first and necessary stage for an organization to get exposed to the world of social media.
Messenger Stage
Most early adopters of social have evolved passed the amateur stage. And late movers now getting into social are doing it with guidance and structure that puts them immediately past the messenger stage.
The messenger stage focuses on the revolutionary ability that the Internet and social media have given to marketers: to communicate directly with prospects and develop relationships with them. Thus the objective at the messenger stage has become to establish these relationships.
Marketers have focused on social networks to get this done, because it is the easiest place to get it done. Social networks are where users spend their most time. Marketers need to simply convince those users to click on "like" or "follow" and they have established the relationship. And the effort to produce appealing content on social networks - typically in short message format - is relatively low. Marketers have found that the fun, appealing content best wins the "like" or "follow," and thus produce eye-catching photos, alluring contests and giveaways, and entertaining games and polls to grow their fan/follower counts.
So many businesses are now executing on the objectives of the messenger stage. They are growing their likes, tweets, fans, and followers.
Publisher Stage
But what has this "social engagement" won for marketers? As the study cited earlier notes, still quite little on the bottom line.
But advanced marketers have taken the potential of social to another stage, the publisher stage, and are reaping social's benefits. They realize that short, sweet messenger content can win likes but does little to generate leads. Instead, they have had to invest more time and resources into producing longer, more thoughtful content pieces in the form of blog posts, infographics, e-books, and videos. Rather than entertain, this content addresses the real concerns and interests of prospects and provides them with valuable information.
These "publisher stage" marketers still use social networks. But the networks serve as a way to distribute links to their content, which is centered on their own website. As prospects navigate to the marketer's site and consume the content addressing their interests and concerns, they build trust in the brand and an appreciation for the brand's understanding of their own interests. And as these prospects return for more content on the brand website, critically they are only one click away from finding information about the brand's products, completing a transaction for a more B2C brand, or submitting a form and entering a nurturing funnel for a more B2B brand.
Now the publisher stage is not easy. It requires a significantly greater commitment to producing high-quality, thought leadership content. That content must be so compelling that it pulls users to the brand site, whether the users come from social networks, from other sites, or from search engines.
But more and more marketers are making the transition to the publisher stage and having great success with it. And most importantly, they are not simply generating engagement metrics, they are generating new leads, new opportunities, new customers, and new revenues. The promise of social media marketing has generated great excitement in marketing departments. Publisher stage social media marketing realizes the potential of social and translates it into enormous benefits for marketers' core objectives.

Olympic champions earn gold at Deer Valley's FIS Freestyle World Cup Saturday night
Rick Bowmer, AP
PARK CITY — Both American Hannah Kearney and Canadian Alex Bilodeau want to do what no mogul skier has done — win back-to-back Olympic gold medals.
The defending Olympic champions shared the top of the podium at the FIS Freestyle World Cup at Deer Valley Saturday night in front of about 8,500 fans.
"You can see, hear and feel the crowd," said Kearney, whose final score of 25.21 won her a second victory in two days of competition. "So I use it for practice. There's a chance that this is a larger crowd than we will have at the Olympics. And there is certainly more people cheering for me than there are going to be at the Olympics, so I used it, and I tried to put on a show."
The competition was a thriller with a number of the top skiers crashing before the final round.
"Today was unusual," Kearney said. "There were some people missing from the super finals, even the finals ... so it had a different feel. But that's a testament to how deep the field is that there is still that many good skiers coming down despite some of the strongest falling."
Kearney's victory was her sixth straight at Deer Valley, a course she's repeatedly said she loves because of the long center section of tight moguls that really challenges a skier's abilities.
"That felt really good," she said of her finals performance. "That felt like a prettier run than my one two nights ago. I tried to find the balance of speed, but also control and it felt much cleaner." Rather than another victory making her feel complacent, she said she's hungrier than ever.
"This just gives me momentum," she said, "and I want to go compete again right now."
U.S. teammate Eliza Outtrim made the six-person super final, and she barely missed the podium as Yulia Galysheva (Kazakhstan) was second with 23.96 points, while Canada's Maxime DuFour-Lapointe was third with 23.74 points.
DuFour-Lapointe's finish was the best of her career. The 24-year-old's two younger sisters have already qualified for the Canadian Olympic team, and this puts her in a really good position to join them when the team is named on Jan. 20.
"This is definitely helping me a lot in that direction," she said. "It's weird to say, but I'm not really feeling pressured. I'm just doing what I've trained for, and now it's paying off."
DuFour-Lapointe said being part of such a deep team is an honor.
"I'm so proud of being part of Team Canada — just because it's hard," she said. "You need to be on top of your game and keep pushing yourself, and that is what is great about our team. We all want to be great. And we always keep pushing our limits."
Bilodeau, who was the first Canadian to win an Olympic gold medal on Canadian soil in the Vancouver games four years ago, won Saturday with 24.62 points. He edged his younger teammate and World Cup leader, Mikael Kingsbury, who scored 24.55, while Russia's Alexandr Smyshlyaev scored 23.80 points to earn bronze.
"It wasn't my best run," Bilodeau of his victory. "I would have wished for my best run. But everybody had a little trouble. It's a very hard course; it's amazing at the same time."
Bilodeau said he plans to retire after this season.
"After Vancouver, I thought about it, but I was like, 'I'm still young,' and I wanted to try to win two gold medals," he said. "I've done everything in my power to be ready for these Olympics. And after that we'll have other goals in life. But it's been an amazing journey."

Kansas City Royals (23-24) at LA Angels of Anaheim (27-20), 7:15 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Kansas City - James Shields (6-3, 2.67) LA Angels - Matt Shoemaker (2-1, 3.06)
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will try for their fourth straight victory on Saturday afternoon when they take on the Kansas City Royals in the second game of a weekend set.
After falling behind 1-0 in the first inning on Friday night, the Angels responded with six unanswered runs to take down the 6-1 victory, their 11th in the past 14 games.
Mike Trout had his second straight multi-hit game, finishing 2-for-4 with his ninth home run of the season. Chris Iannetta also belted a longball, his fourth, while Howie Kendrick, C.J. Cron, Erick Aybar and Grant Green collected two hits apiece.
C.J. Wilson (6-3) was stellar once again, allowing one earned run in 6 1/3 innings. He most recently tossed a shutout on May 17 and his ERA now sits at 3.00.
Danny Duffy (2-4) was knocked around for nine hits and five earned runs in six innings. He had not allowed more than three hits in any previous appearance this year.
Norichika Aoki was 3-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base, while Alex Gordon had an RBI single in the first.
Taking the hill for the Royals on Saturday will be their ace James Shields, who's 6-3 with a 2.67 ERA this season, striking out 59 while walking just 13 in 67 1/3 innings.
Shields has won three consecutive starts and six of his last seven, including on May 18 against Baltimore when he allowed nine hits and three earned runs over seven innings of work. He's allowed three runs or less in nine of 10 starts and lasted at least 5 2/3 innings in every outing.
The veteran right-hander has struggled in his career at Angel Stadium, posting a 5.45 ERA in 33 innings.
Matt Shoemaker will get the nod for the Angels, as he makes just his fourth career start.
After making his debut late last season and serving out of the bullpen in early April, Shoemaker has been a strong addition to the rotation since being recalled on May 13, going 2-0 with a 2.35 ERA in two starts.
"Shoe did an outstanding job today, and he did an outstanding job in Philly last week," Albert Pujols said after Shoemaker allowed just two hits and an earned run over six innings against Tampa Bay on May 18. "Anytime you get a guy like that who's not really a true starter and he comes up here and helps us win a game and a series, it's huge."
The Angels have defeated the Royals on five straight occasions.

Historical Traveler Reviews Melia Marbella Banus
Tranquil and pleasant
Driving here from Malaga airport, having arrived on the late Iberia flight, and trying to find the Hotel Dinamar in the dark [does it really take 9 hours to get here from home?]would have been even more stressful had it not been for the details given by your Bexhill on Sea member - 7 Oct 2005 review---thank you!
It is truly difficult to locate but the search was worthwhile.
There is a red carpet up to the entrance.
The room was astonishingly very spacious even though it contained 2 queensize beds, table lamp ,floor lamp , armchairs etc with pretty pastel colours for walls and furnishings providing a a comfortable ambience. The bathroom was also large with toiletries and even bathrobes provided. The room was spotlessly clean. From the balcony the moonbeams could be seen on the sea
Downstairs in the bar a pianist was playing and the illuminated gardens were large enough for a night time stroll ,a little damp as it must have been raining, around the pools and over the bridge.
The receptionist had been pleasant on arrival and when asked for a spare bulb for the table lamp which would not light when switched on, he said he would send someone. Ah, we thought,that will be tomorrow, but we had only just returned to the room when there was a knock on the door and someone had arrived,bulb in hand.
The gardens are lovely with huge outdoor pools surrounded by lawns.
I hope we can stay here again very soon, I look forward to returning.
Great food
We stayed over the newyear we were very luck with the weather so spent one of the days sunbathing in thier lovely gardens the pool is huge but too cold in December the indoor pool is on the small side the photos make it look much bigger.
A nice pleasent walk along the promanade to Banus
The staff were always pleasent and the hotel was clean the bedrooms were a good size with 2 queen beds
But the best part was the food, meat or fish cooked to your liking by a chef and if you cant wait! there was plenty of other ready meals to choose from.
Lovely Hotel
I stayed here for Christmas 2005 with a friend, mum and dad. We were due to stay at the H10 Andulucia Plaza but it was closed for reburbishment. I cannot say anything but good comments about this hotel. The location is great (about a 20min flat walk to the Marina of Puerto Banus). The hotel is spotless, the food is great and the staff are very helpful. I do believe from looking at other reviews that Christmas may be a quieter time to go as the weather is that little bit colder and the outside pool was a bit on the cold side. There is an indoor heated pool with a jacuzzi, sauna and steam room that we did use.
If you want to go to a place to people watch, then this is the place for you. The boats and cars are fantastic, like the monte carlo of Spain. Don't expect to pay anymore than you will in England for food, but expect a lovely welcoming service. Prices for drinks in the hotel are very reasonable too. Would definately recommend this hotel and location to anyone.
Fans of the hotel, not of the flies
We visited the Marbella Dinamar in August with our two teenage daugthers it was our 5th visit to the hotel. The hotel is in a hidden corner right at the end of the esplanade which leads to the Port. The taxi drivers from the airport always ask 'where is it?" the answer is it can be seen from the freeway on the left hand side just before the exit to Puerto Banus and then let them find it they always do - eventually. Sometimes the hotel seems to get groups of travel agents/estate agents/businessmen/women on trips who attempt to take over but on the whole it is quiet and lovely. It has two pools one - the original pool is always silent the seond - the newer pool - is crowded and it can be difficult to get a sun lounger. The hotel has a dreadful problem with flies which have completely taken over the new pool and attempt to eat the guests alive - the hotel staff are totally unhelpful and uncaring and despite everyone complaining they simply ignore you and do nothing. The staff are very sweet on the whole and try to teach you some spanish but it is so embarrasing to be english and hear the english moan and complain about the staff speaking spanish when at the end of the day they are in Spain!
If you go to this hotel try and go half board which gives you either lunch or dinner in the bufet which is very good, king prawns, steak, chicken, calamari all cooked on the BBQ in front of you - and yes they do do chips for the english who - apparently - can not eat a meal without them!!!!!!
The hotel has some delightful baby cats living nearby who are enticed by the food and the english and chased away by the spanish who are not -seemingly - so easily swayed by the sight of a kitten.
The hotel entertainment is diabolical if you intend to stay in and enjoy it beware you will be bored out of your brains. The pianist has been playing at the hotel - as far as I know - for at least 8 years and really should make way for something with a little more ooommph. Still Puerto Banus is amazing and is only a hop skip and a jump away. My husband prayed for sunshine - and got it almost every day - anything to keep our daughters for the shops.
Generally though nice hotel, nice situation and great pools - terrible sea and no entertainment.
Winter warmer
A very good standard of hotel for the area.Beautiful gardens, clean and well looked after .We will be returning with our children in the future.
Over rated
My Family & I stayed at the Dinamar last August 2004.It was certainly not in a four star category.The lobby was dreary and unwelcoming .We had to battle to get sunbeds,and the nightly entertainment was very poor.It was convenient to walk to the port.but that was about it.The set dinner was grossly overpriced.We would definitely not return.We loved the area around Puerto Banus and returned in September to the Kempinski..now that is a hotel.
Brilliant hotel
My parents are big fans of this hotel and have been to Puerto Banus and to this hotel many times.
My brother and I (we are 20 and 19) decided to go with them in September and had a really good time. The hotel is really quiet (apart from the occasional big group of lads) and is set in beautiful grounds.
The staff are incredibly friendly and appreciate if you actually take the time to learn some spanish, just please and thankyou is enough for them.
It is exceptionally clean and I can't believe that anyone could say this hotel is dirty. The food was good but with so much to offer in the port there is no need to spend every night in the hotel.
Overall a good holiday and I'm hoping to go there with a big group of friends for my 21st.
Nice beach hotel
My girlfriend and I stayed here for two nights in October 2004 and we really liked this hotel. It's a little west of Marbella in Puerto Banus, only a couple of minutes walk from the beach and about a 15 minute walk to the bars and restaurants. We had a room on the east side of the hotel that had a balcony overlooking the beach. The room was clean and nicely appointed. My girlfriend speaks fluent Spanish, so I can't comment on whether the staff is fluent in other languages, but they were very helpful when we had questions. The hotel has two pools, and a nice piano bar that opens to one of the pools. The breakfast buffet was great and well worth the 10 or so Euros that it cost. My only complaint is that the backdoor to the hotel, which is the easiest way to get from the hotel grounds to the beach, is locked at 10 p.m. If you return to the hotel later than that, you must walk around to the front of the hotel. Somewhat inconvenient, especially considering that, during normal hours, you can't open this door without your room key. Still, I would definitely stay here again.
Not good for a 4*
We have just arrived back from the Dinamar hotel where we stayed for just under one week. This is my second visit to the hotel and this time I was a bit disappointed.
When we arrived in the bedroom, there were stains on the net curtains, the walls and the bed sheets. Also, the floor had not been properly cleaned. However, the rooms have everything you need.
On the first day we did not have a problem getting a sunbed but after that it was a battle getting one...at one point we were told to run to catch the last one (did not fancy sharing one sunbed for a whole day though)...I have stayed at many four & five star hotels and this is the first where we have not been able to get a sunbed!!
The overall impression that we got of the hotel is that out of season it is fine, but when it starts to get busy, the hotel staff cannot cope with the extra demand that is placed on the hotel, which in turn feels like the staff are being quite rude at times.
The location of this hotel makes it ideal for getting to the port where all of the shops and restaurants are, but personally I would rather sacrifice this and drive/get a taxi a bit further and stay in a clean hotel with sunbeds....will not be rushing back there again quickly.
Very Relaxing, Great location.
We have stayed at this hotel on a number of occasions over years. Great location just 2mins walk from the beach, and a pleasant 10 - 15 mins walk along the promenade to the centre of Puerto Banus, its shops and restaurants. The rooms are large and clean with a good facilities. The communal areas are all very well maintained. There are three pools two outside and a small indoor one. The hotel always appears very quite, we have never had a problem getting a sun bed in the gardens. We have never eaten in the restaurant in the evening, the buffet breakfast is of a fair standard. We have stayed in a number of Hotels is Puerto Banus this is far the best in its price range.

The arrival
... Might i also add that it really was super super nice to meet a complete stranger that doesnt speak her language well and take me on a cool tour of Malaga, the people here are really open and nice. The next day I decided to jump on-line to meet some more people and test my Spanish even more. I contacted a guy who lived in Malaga that wanted to improve his English, he is studying English philology at University and his English is quite fluent and very extensive. So ...
Lovely Costa Del Sol
... promenades along here in the evening. The meal was lovely, and we really liked the minature desserts- displayed-ready-mades in little pots, cups and tins for you to choose from on an old tray bought to your table.
The next night we went to the Kelipo Centre for a flamenco show, which was great, the leading lady was wonderful and her dancing was very expressive. The guy on guitar was a really laid back native american who welcomed us to his family and thanked us for ...
A Date with Picasso
... then dragged away by a horse and cart. It was made up of simple lines yet conveyed a strong message and presented as beautiful artwork.
After the museum we went for a wonder up the street hoping to find the Basilica of Santa Maria de la Victoria. We found it but unfortunately it was closed as many businesses are during the siesta period of 2pm and 5pm. I don't know how they get anything done in Spain!
Tonight Uncle Rodney and Aunty Patsy took us ...
Marbella and Gibraltar
... and the ocean. We stayed here mainly as it was on route to our next planned destination Gibraltar which was only planned as a day trip stop, before heading to Seville. If I had of thought earlier about the golf resort we could have stayed an extra day and had a round of golf, but I must have been asleep when Leoni told me about this place.
Marbella (Costa del Sol) Beach
... starting near our complex and then an area of a fountain which runs into a circular pool, then a splash pool for kids, a series of run offs emptying into a large pool down the grade at the end of this condo complex.
The next adventure was finding the car in the basement garage and learning to run the garage door to open and time it so I could get out of the narrow ...

I found this function on a web
Private Function FileFolderExists(strFullPath As String) As Boolean
On Error GoTo EarlyExit
If Not Dir(strFullPath, vbDirectory) = vbNullString then
FileFolderExists = True
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End Function
And I want to pass string variable like this
Dim lineText As String
ElseIf FileFolderExists(lineText) = False Then
I am getting compile error "byref argument type mismatch"
When I put byval before strFullPath, it doesn't seem to work properly. I also tried playing with Dir function, it works if I pass literal like "C:\test", but it doesn't work if I pass the variable.
Does anyone have function that check for folder existence and accepts the string variable as parameter ?
Thanks in advance

Add extra features and styles to make Firefox for Android your own.Close

This add-on doesn't work on Firefox if Adblock Plus is installed and active on facebook pages, meaning that FB secret emoticons is actually a disguised adware.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.2.5).
I've been using this great add-on for quite a while now. Unfortunately, it prevents Adblock Plus (starting from version 2.2.3) to show both in tools menu and add-on bar, as well as Add-on Compatibility Reporter, only in add-on bar. I know I shouldn't be writing about bugs here, but I thought I had to inform people using Adblock Plus as well as MasterPassword+. They have to revert to Adblock Plus version 2.2.2 so that it still shows like it's expected.
Oh I forgot: everything works fine in Thunderbird using both add-ons.
Hello Lauri
This extension is most useful only for the ones who don't know how to create a shortcut to "about:sync-tabs" in their personal bar. It's pretty easy to right-click the personal bar, choose to create a new bookmark and type about:sync-tabs in the address field. Then the user might want to erase the name of this bookmark so that it looks exactly like your button!
Nevertheless, what might make your button a bit more interesting than this tip is that it can go in any firefox's bars, which is not the case of a bookmark.
Don't update this add-on. Delete the previous version and install the new. Indeed, the new version 1.5 works fine... except that I had to uninstall previous version 1.4.4 before to make it work properly. Also, the new version doesn't support my native language (french) while the previous did.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.5).
The solution as proposed by baskak works indeed. Reported crashes can be worked around: on the first sync using funambol, you have to replace all present data (contacts, calendar events and tasks) with that from the server (recover command). Of course, consider to back up all these data before you proceed.
Beware that automatic sync and/or sync at startup can cause thunderbird to crash.
I successfully tested this solution both on Windows XP and 7.

The Defense and Energy departments need to work harder to reduce potential overlaps in their major information technology investments, according to testimony presented by the Government Accountability Office at a House subcommittee hearing.
The GAO reviewed 810 IT investments reported by the Defense, Energy and Homeland Security departments.
It found 31 potentially duplicative investments totaling $1.2 billion at DOD, and six potentially duplicative investments totaling $8 million at Energy, said David Powner, GAO's director of IT management issues, at the Feb. 17 hearing.
No duplication was found in the DHS IT programs reviewed by GAO, he added.
The overlaps at DOD and Energy occurred in human resource management, information and technology management and supply chain management, Powner said.
Although the departments have processes, including investment reviews, that are intended to prevent overlaps, the duplication has persisted, Powner said. A factor hampering progress is likely "miscategorization of investments within agencies," Powner added.
Responding to Powner's report, Teri Takai, CIO at DOD, said the department has taken steps to address most of the possible duplications, and she disputed the rest.
"The GAO has highlighted 31 business-related DOD IT investments, which included contract management, personnel management, and logistics that they consider duplicative," Takai said. "As the GAO reports, the Department has taken action to address 27 of these investments. The remaining four systems are non-duplicative, and satisfy very different requirements in the human resource management functional area."
Michael Locatis III, CIO for Energy, said the GAO's review identified investments in back-end infrastructure as a source of duplication. However, Locatis explained that because the identity credentialing and document management infrastructure will be installed at three separate locations— at facilities in Chicago, Oak Ridge, Tenn. and Washington, DC--there was a need for separate investments in local hardware and software costs for deployment.
"These costs could not be avoided or reduced by consolidation given their diverse locations," Locatis said. "This was done not to report them as separate and distinct investments but rather to show separate budget line items where funding was being distributed to different locations to implement the infrastructure."
With regard to potential duplication in records management identified by the GAO, Energy is taking a comprehensive approach and examining policy, governance and application process. A number of actions have been taken to the revise the management process, Locatis said.
Until the business changes are fully implemented, some existing systems will remain in place, he added. "The records management investments cited in GAO's report are existing systems that will remain in place while the departmental strategy is being implemented. A decision on these investments will be made once the approved departmentwide applications are identified," Locatis said.
Richard Spires, CIO of DHS, said the department has made efforts to reduce overlaps by creating governance boards for portfolios including security, procurement and management. Each portfolio board has a multi-year planning horizon and a measurable set of objectives that would significantly improve mission or business effectiveness.
"Having implemented such enterprise and portfolio governance in the private sector, the IRS, and now working to mature it at DHS, I know firsthand how difficult this process can be,"Spires said in his testimony. "It takes about three years for a portfolio governance approach to mature to the point where the portfolio has a solid set of business objectives and measures, a defined goal end state, and a viable enterprise transition strategy. This approach cannot be treated as a budget exercise in which you gather people once a year to do analysis."
The hearing was held by the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Technology, Information Policy, Intergovernmental Relations and Procurement Reform.
