Great hotel for family.Posted Feb 6, 2015
Staff at hotel was great! Friendly and very helpful. Suite was great because there were 2 rooms which allowed us to close doors when kids went to sleep. Kitchen with stove and fridge allowed us to make our own dinner instead of eating out. Kids loved indoor pool. Only problem was theta the pull out couch was very old, needed to be replaced. Other then that it was great.

Horrible i had to send an hour on the phone to find another hotel.

Broken light fixture. Noisy roomPosted Nov 9, 2014
The bathroom had two wall mounted light fixtures. One was without a shade/ diffuser why wouldn't that have been fixed ? In the bedroom there was a loud and droning sound that made it difficult to sleep. It sounded to me like a refrigerator in an adjascunt room had a very noisy motor and condenser. The fridge obviously preesed against the wall to our bedroom. We were in room 203.

Make sure your students travel safely and in style
High school outings for high school seniors should have the right mix of fun and safety. Getting on board charter bus for your educational events is key. Making sure the coach that will transport your group will fit your needs is the first step. Things to look for are safely. Assistance with trip planning and fun factor. If a coach service can make an outing fun for your students and senior trip while meeting cost, planning and safety needs, then it is a win-win.
Special coach charters are available for day use and other needs as well. Coaches can be booked to pick up at school and take students to the event or activity planned. This is a great option for a senior trip to really make this special for your students. If a school has a clear idea of what the day should entail, chartered coaches can meet all of the needs of your school. If a school needs ideas on how a day should go or meal ideas, there are chartered tours that can help with planning and give suggestions.
If your school is looking for an educational activity or a senior trip activity, there are chartered services that can make your trip fun. If your school has been looking into seniors coach tours, there are different levels of service on offer. Your school can have an outing planned and just need a driver. If you need more comprehensive help and planning, this is also an option.
Safety should always be a factor, especially for minors. Always double check how a charter service does background checks on drivers, and the overall safety rating of a company. The quality and service of the actual charter bus is important too. Seat belts and air conditioning are things to look out for for student led events. Choosing a safe reliable bus charter is important. Schools should always focus on finding a service with the knowledge and know how to have groups shuttled safely with transportation effectiveness.
Cost should always be a factor in a school's planning. Asking for a school or student discount is a great idea. Finding a shuttle service that can meet your budget doesn't mean that the trip won't be its best. Having open communication with your charter service from the beginning is useful. If a company can work within your parameters and know what your needs are, the trip success rate will be much higher.
Remember, there are coach charters that do this type of planning every day. There is no need to recreate the wheel, chartered companies make these types of trips all the time and can help you. Once a school has a contract with a shuttle service, they can meet the needs of many events a school might have. One day trips, transport to educational camps, even weekly services needed can be arranged. Leave the trip planning to experts. Coach charters can make all of the accommodations and planning for the day.

Christopher Reeve is "angry and disappointed" at President Bush.
In an interview with Britain's newspaper Guardian, Reeve, who was paralyzed from the neck down when he was thrown from a horse seven years ago, blames Bush and the Catholic church for hampering research that could help free him from his wheelchair.
The Bush Administration is currently not supporting embryonic stem cell research, which could be instrumental in rebuilding the nervous systems of quadriplegics. Reeve believes the president caved into pressures from the Catholic Church, which is opposed to the research because of cloning issues.
"If we'd had full government support, full government funding for aggressive research using embryonic stem cells from the moment they were first isolated, at the University of Wisconsin in the winter of 1998 -- I don't think it unreasonable to speculate that we might be in human trials by now," the actor told the newspaper.
"There are religious groups...who think it's a sin to have a blood transfusion. Well, what if the president for some reason decided to listen to them, instead of to the Catholics, which is the group he really listens to in making his decisions about embryonic stem cell research?"
Reeve is in support of a bill that would encourage therapeutic cloning while, at the same time, admonish those who conduct reproductive cloning.

Scientists Develop Chocolate That Won't Melt At High Temperatures 161
from the melt-in-an-oven-not-in-your-hand dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Except that it wouldn't melt in your mouth and thus probably also be less delicious than normal chocolate.
Exactly: chocolate melting almost exactly at body temperature is a feature not a bug.
You'd have found it was just a remake of the WWII era tropical bars. I ate a couple (of the modern remakes, I was in
You know how cheap american chocolate (Hersheys) is like room temperature brown colored Crisco? The tropical stuff was basically the same stuff but a texture / mouth feel more like refrigerated brown Crisco.
I imagine this "invention" is about the 4th generation re-invention. Food science is just like IT, every decade or two, the same old ideas get lipstick and a new dress on the old pig and a big announcement about the new baby, while the old timers roll their eyes, not that crap again....
Personally, I find the most enjoyable chocolate to be Hershey's Symphony bars that have been frozen.
If your favorite chocolate is Hershey's anything, the only explanation is that you've never tasted chocolate.
Hershey's chocolate isn't chocolate. I'm not saying this in an elitist, "it's so bad you can't consider it chocolate way." I mean, they don't use cacao, which is definition of chocolate.

The Congressmen may regard Rahul Gandhi as a "youth icon" and smart ministers like Shashi Tharoor and Jyotiraditya Scindia might have massaged their own ego by showering such embarrassingly fulsome praise on their party's new vice-president.
Red Star over Narendra Modi
But, pray, why has the Congress Party done this unto itself? The objective was three-fold: "to boost the morale of the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh-led United Progressive Alliance government hit by a series of scandals in its second five-year term in power; to galvanize party workers after a series of demoralizing electoral setbacks in a number of states.
"And, the third and the most important objective behind Gandhi's promotion as party Vice President is to project him as a youth leader who is ready to take on the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party's potential prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi."
But, honestly, Rahul Gandhi doesn't make a convincing prime ministerial candidate and his "charisma may not work" in the upcoming general elections.
Maybe he is young and thirty percent of Indians are also young. But, so what? Narendra Modi is "single", too. And, Modi is no pushover, either — he is a "heavyweight" and has "delivered in Gujarat."
On the contrary, Rahul Gandhi's "magic failed" in the last state election in Uttar Pradesh, and Congress suffered erosion in its electoral tally.
But at the end of the day, the Albatross for Congress is none other than the government led by Manmohan Singh. "Indeed, the soft-spoken Manmohan Singh has not been able to defend his government adequately after the scams were exposed one by one. Though an honest leader hmself, critics believe that he has failed to deliver when it came to tackling corruption, of course, inflation also."
Now, close your eyes, take a deep breath and go on to make a guess who could have made such an honest assessment? No, you won't get it right. It's by Xinhua here.

Every minister credibly accused of corruption (Raja, Kalmad) has been removed from office by the UPA government. In contrast, every person credibly accused of crimes (Modi, Kodnani) have been made ministers in BJP Gujarat.
Because the victims were Muslims, Hindus such as the author of this article and commenters are willing to overlook it.
Rajni P says
Narendra Modi is proven and well experienced player in politics…Rahul just the failed personna and shadow of congress.
India is badly weaken every day and we really need strong PM like Narendra Modi, who has vision and drive this country more safer than congress bureaucratizes. I am sorry abt rahul and don't want to see him as PM of this country. If at all he comes then that would be unfortunate thing for this country.
ishwer says
I dont have any respect for our PM because he is a failed PM of the country ever.
If he is HONEST then why he has been as PM till now and why he supported the NDA, why he did not resign, so that any other party would have been in place to save billions of rupees.
Secondly every leader in our country is rememberd for his contribution, like Mahatma Gandhi for his fight for freedom,as well as Subhash Chandra bose, Jawhar Lal Nehru for dividing India for his personal picular gains. Lal Bahadur Shashtri for his honesty. Indra Gandhi for ordering Militry to attack On OUR Golden temple, VP Singh forcing youngsters to sucide for there rights, jagdish titler and sajjan kumar for roits in Delhi killing innocent sardars . Bal Thakrey against punjabis and bihirais living in Mumbai (Thinking that Mumbai is his ancesstors Property) . Narsimha Rao for economic reforms in the country etc etc.
Please let me know what for our Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh Will be rememberd?
May be for Chamchagiri of Soniya?
KRISHNAA says
rahul is a chakka . he never lead india .He can ran away from ;girls those closed minister(new) daughter.
Pratham says
Ofcourse MMS is a dishonest corrupt to the core politician hiding behind his image of honesty. only a crook can be so protective of such criminals. and in our constitution – and other better constitutions around the world – a person who helps the criminals is also a criminal himself. and he is tried in the court of law for abetting crime.
this guy i would say is the most corrupt politician ever. this mms – who must be doing all kind of chores to please his masters the lady and her son and her daughter and her son in law and her grand children. thats his main objective and work. he is a liability to nation and a traitor at core.
Anonymous says
Very apt Shilpy ! This is what MMS represent. Trying to remain PM inspite of such gigantic scams on his cup board itself is a dishonest corrupt practice. He can be equated with Rajat Gupta and deserves to be in jail instead of in PMO for his unpardonable omissions and commissions. It is time for idiot mediawallas to stop calling him 'Honest' and start calling the obvious 'Super Dishonest'
shilpy says
it is about time the people acknowledge that mmsingh is totally a dishonest – and that neither is his economics degree from the queen victoria age of colonialism /socialism relevant to modern indian economy.
mmsingh has been a willing accomplice in corruption within his own cabinet of which he knew very well but failed to react to it in complete contravention to the solemn pledge he took before assuming the office. this is dishonest as it can get, plain and simple. the people are not interested as to whether he put any dime in his own bank account. the fact is he saw his interests best served in being complicit to the steady stream of ungodly theft of people's money. if your watchman sides with theives while he is on your payroll, he is dishonest, and guilty of being accessory to larceny. please don't call him honest, for that trivilizes the huge theft, and also the solemity of pm's office this unelected man – this is another dishonesty on his part to be an unelected pm of the "world's largest democracy – presumes to hold.

Rating is the only reason for 1 0 chess. Well, that, and the adrenaline rush. Most active 1 0 players are addicts.
I strongly agree with your brief comments.
All people do on this website is cry about people being time players. If you can't finish the game in the allocated time, then play a longer control. Anybody who plays one-minute chess is a time player. And as for 'runners,' get over yourself wannabegmjoey1. You sound like you lost a few games on time and took it personally. Grow a pair and move on. Your rating here doesn't matter, just like you. :)
Statement "get over yourself wannabegmjoey1", wow this is very intriguing. LoL
What I take from this thread is you enjoy insulting other players. To me the definition of a coward is a bully hiding safely behind a computer screen. I'd wager you don't have the stones to insult another player to his face. you throw around words like coward and fool... Pot to Kettle: You are black.
It is something different and unique opinion, you can say anything as long as you understand, Nice!
cuz runnig burns fat and is good for the heart
whuahahaha,,,yes...yes...keep healthy, lol
I think it's a mistake to try and analyze or think about lightning, 1m 0s, or bullet, 2m 3s, to any substantial degree at all. it's a bit ridiculous to sit there and say this or that person is a "time" player or a "runner" when anyone who plays those times controls (including top professionals) will engage in this type of play. it's not like it's an option with these time controls.
perhaps you could talk about such things as the time control and elo strength are increased. 5, 10 minute blitz between 2000ish players? there might be a legitimate discussion to have about this in that context. lightning? probably not worth thinking about. or saying anything about.

Kenneth F. Scheve Jr. and David Stasavage: Is the Estate Tax Doomed?
Kenneth F. Scheve Jr. is a professor of political science at Stanford University. David Stasavage, a professor of politics at New York University, is the author of "States of Credit: Size, Power, and the Development of European Polities.Under the deal struck by President Obama and Congress to avert the "fiscal cliff," the estate tax — long targeted for elimination by Republicans — survived, but in a substantially diminished form.In 2001, the year George W. Bush became president, individual estates over $675,000 were taxed and the top rate was 55 percent. Now, the maximum tax is 40 percent and only individual estates worth more than $5.25 million are taxed (a figure that will now be automatically adjusted for inflation).

2 Questions: Blackberries & Strawberries
Blackberries and Raspberries:
Is it possible rabbits could have eaten some of my blackberry and raspberry vines over the winter? The vines on plants closet to the house are 3-6' in some places, the vines towards the back of the yard (where it's clser to a field) are much smaller and some are broke off complety - or appear to be just nubs with no vines now. They were planted last year and wer 2 year old plants from Rural King - they were all doing excellent by the fall - so was surprise to see some of them in that condition. I really need to get on building a good trellis this spring now.
I read that it's good to mow down strawberries in the fall - but I did not do that. Should I do it now while their still dormant? Is there a need or benefit to doing so?
Yeah, rabbits will eat 'em.
I'm still learning about strawberries, but here's what I would do based on my experiences so far -- leave them alone. And then when they begin to flower in late spring or summer, pull all the flowers for the first week or two. Then blammo -- they will grow like you wouldn't believe and this will revitalize them. Not to worry -- they will also send out dozens more flowers. But the plants will be stronger and more lively as a result of delaying the flowering a bit.

We stayed at Anantara Veli as part of our honeymoon on middle of March 2009 (we also went to Banyan Tree).
The Anantara Transfer boats were extremely luxorious (much nicer than the Banyan Tree ones) thus the transfer was amazing to the island.
The island itself has three parts (Veli, Dhigu & Naladhu) Veli is a medium/small size and only has overwater bungalows, the Dhigu is a larger island with also overwater bungalows as well as mainland bungalows, and Naladu is a 5*plus island with no access. I actually liked Veli the best as it was small, intimate and most of the kids if any were all at Dhigu the larger island.
We stayed in the Deluxe Over-Water Bungalow, which was well worth upgrading to (from the normal Over-Water Bungalow). They were just amazing, the rooms/bungalows were so large and there were multiple decks to relax on too. The Terazzo bath was also amazing.
Food was great with lots of choices in restaurants, including thai, seafood, italian etc etc all on the 2 main island whcih were easily accessible.
One disapointment was the house reef. The house reef was quite a distance away, needed to take a canoe to a small unanhibated island and then snorkell there, but it just didnt seem safe with just the two of us and the fish were a bit crazy there (they bit quite a few ppl as the fish were breeding...).
If you are after a GREAT house reef, I would HIGHLY recommend Banyan Tree Vabinfaru. But if you are more after luxury in accomodation and style then Anatara is definitelly the better place to be.
The staff were also very very friendly and very good at this resort.

Well, that is if you're selling ugly Christmas sweaters. The holiday may have passed, but that says nothing about the success of UglyChristmasSweaterParty.com. According to Post-Tribune, Adam Paulson, Kevin Wool, and Brian Miller are college buddies. Last year they got together and decided to see what they could do with a certain website URL. They never expected where it would take them
Knee deep in a pile of sweaters in Miller's basement, ground zero for shipping, receiving and storing the massive quantities of Christmas kitsch, the trio recounted the past year and joked about where they may be headed.
"I remember the first night we did this," Wool said.
Miller had the domain name registered for a couple years after reading about the growing trend of throwing ugly Christmas sweater parties, so they decided to put a few sweaters on the website and see what would [happen].
"We thought how funny would this be if they sell," Paulson said. The 60 initial sweaters they rounded up from family and friends were gone within a couple weeks.
"Now 60 a day is a bad day. It's just exciting to see how fast it grows," Miller said.
Today they order the sweaters they sell for $15 a pop by the pound, not by quanity. The trio has sold thousands of sweaters in the past year and have shipped the purchases throughout the U.S. and as far away as Iraq, Afghanistan, Canada, Europe, Australia and even Thailand.

Vance Gilbert
Who else would name their most recent album "Old White Men", and actually have recorded a groundbreaking, heartbreaking title song to back it up? That'd be Vance Gilbert. This latest release has received raves based solely on the material folks knew would be on it! The soul aching title cut, OLD WHITE MEN, the winsome BOY ON A TRAIN, and the comic tour de force MY BAD are present. The lonesome KING OF THE RAILS will leave a diagonal crease across the listener's heart. DRAGONFLY WINGS is a delightful throwback to 70's pop. NO ONE CAN LOVE YOU LIKE MARY is an all acoustic life story punctuated by Billy Novick's funky saxophones. The maddened rant of HELPLESS MAN is followed by the big hearted NEW YEAR'S EVE AT THE LION'S HEAD HOTEL - HOURLY RATES, a one-sided conversation between a prostitute and a policeman. Vance's original YOU SHOULD BE HERE sounds like a refugee from the Rogers and Hart songbook and is just Vance and a classical guitar. GO and COME HERE MY LOVE are both solo snapshots of breathless points in time. The acapella BRAKEMAN'S SON is a small story of a search for big peace. Eleven killer songs, pared down to their living core, listener ready (OK, there's a buried track. Listen for yourself…). Speaking of the live show, artists as varied as Arlo Guthrie, Anita Baker, and the late George Carlin have in recent years requested Vance to be added to their evenings. Vance Gilbert burst onto the singer/songwriter scene in the early 90's when the buzz spread through the folk clubs of the Northeast about an ex-multicultural arts teacher who was knocking them dead at open mics. Word got out about this Philadelphia-area born and raised performer, and Shawn Colvin invited Gilbert to be a special guest on her 1992 Fat City tour. Gilbert took audiences across North America by storm. "With the voice of an angel, the wit of a devil, and the guitar playing of a god, it was enough to earn him that rarity: an encore for an opener" wrote the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in its review of a show from that tour. Gilbert's three albums for the Rounder/Philo label - Edgewise (1994), Fugitives (1995), and Shaking Off Gravity (1998) - are all essential additions to the American singer-songwriter collection. With guests as varied as Tuck and Patti, Jonatha Brooke, Patty Larkin, Vinx, and Jane Siberry, all three albums found significant niches on NAC (New Adult Contemporary) and Non-Commercial A3 radio. These discs were followed by the self-released Somerville Live (2000), lionized by the Boston Globe as the disc "young songwriters should study the way law students cram for bar exams," and One Thru Fourteen (2002), a stylistically varied offering that New York's Town and Village called "lively, eclectic, electrifying and transcending." Gilbert followed with Side Of The Road (2003), a duo album with Ellis Paul, lauded as "haunting, artful, and lovely" by Boston Magazine and nominated for a 2004 Boston Music Award. Then came Unfamiliar Moon (2005). "The songwriter's most compelling work; literate, heartfelt, rippling…emotionally resonant songs" raved the Boston Globe, placing the album in its Top 10 CDs of the year (#4). On Angels, Castles, Covers (2006), "Gilbert's choice of an album of covers seems both fitting and fearless. …he displays his vocal virtuosity with some unexpected choices from the late 20th century songbook. From the sounds of Motown, through the R&B of Al Green to classic Joni Mitchell and Shawn Colvin…He makes each and every tune sound fresh and new," writes Roberta Schwartz of FAME. Gilbert then launched into a year and a half as support for George Carlin, leading up to the creation and recording of Up On Rockfield (2008), a landmark album noted for being written in the styles of some of his favorite songwriters. Of this disk Vintage Guitar proclaimed that "His fervor for composing is as powerful as a Colorado thunderstorm...accomplishing the seemingly impossible...Up On Rockfield should be on your must hear list." And now Old White Men makes album number ten in Vance's ever growing, glowing catalogue.

Lili Anel
Lili Añel considers music a calling. This six foot tall singer songwriter grew up in New York City, where she discovered her passion for music. As a child Añel remembers, singing along to her mother's Cuban, ja zz and pop standard albums. It was also her mother who supported Lili's desire to join the church choir. However it was her grandfather's recognition of how much joy singing brought to her being, which served to set her feet firmly on the path of a career in music. "My grandpa was influential and instrumental to who I am," says Lili. "When I sang in the church choir, he would sneak in to the Mass without telling me. I would ask him later, after letting him know that I saw him in the back, why he came to church at all and then left before it was over. His response was: "To hear you sing. I can hear your voice above the others." In 1994, Lili was signed to Palmetto Records, which released her first album "Laughed Last". She followed that with the self released "Hi Octane Coffee". After relocating to Philadelphia, in 2007 Lili recorded her first album in Philadelphia, "Dream Again ", co-produced with bassist Cooke Harvey. JazzTimes Magazine said of this recording "...her songs are consistently excellent..." The Philadelphia Inquirer dubbed her "vocal powerhouse whose earthy, jazz- laced tuned stretch the boundaries of traditional singer-songwriter turf ." Lili continues to appear as a headliner while opening for national acts Raul Midon, Alejandro Escovedo, Teddy Thompson, Boz Scaggs, John Hammond, Jr., Robert Cray, Vance Gilbert and B.B. King, to name a few. Her CD, " Life or Death", released in 2008 on German label ESC Records, was a compilation of songs from Hi-Octane Coffee and Dream Again received wide acclaim. Lili's 2009, Every Second In Between", produced by Grammy award winning producer/engineer, Glenn Barratt, continues to bring Lili wide acclaim, making the All About Jazz 2009 Year End Writers Choice for the "10 Best New Jazz Releases" list, along with JazzTimes Magazine proclaiming "...a cd to blow your mind at first listen..." and winning 3 NY Music Awards 2010, Best Singer-Songwriter, Best Jazz Album-"Every Second In Between" and Best Female Jazz Vocalist. On her new CD release "I Can See Bliss From Here", Lili teamed up with Dale Melton ("The Melton Brothers) a friend and fellow musician who'd played in her rhythm section for over a year. The collaboration as co-producers has proven fruitful, delivering a profoundly honest and diverse recording. The songwriting on this, her 6th CD, is more musically diverse than any of her previous. Says Lili "these are the songs I want to put out to the world at this time. They reflect where I am right now". And reflect they do, musically drawing from Latin, Jazz, Folk, Blues and Pop, as much a hybrid as Lili herself, a New York-born Cuban-African American. Supported by some of the area's top musicians along with musicians who Lili knew and worked with in New York, " I Can See Bliss From Here" proves that Lili Añel continues to be a singer/songwriter at the top of her game and recognized as a recording artist who successfully connects with the world.

Age Called Blue follows two friends, Billy and Nick. These boys have been living as roommates while doing everything they can to promote their band. Billy has been harboring feelings for Nick for some time, but hasn't yet found the nerve to try and move their relationship beyond the boundaries of normal friendship.
In the world of struggling artists, trouble is always on the horizon, and is soon to rear its head as the other members of the band grow tired of Nick's free-thinking and easy-going ways. They want the "hippy" out of the band, leaving Billy with a heart-wrenching choice: Should he follow his life-long desire to make music, a career he's thrown countless hours of time into? Or, should he side with the boy who stole his heart long ago, his true best friend, Nick?

Two days before Canadian, Mexican and US environmental ministers are to meet in Texas, 11 US national and border-region environmental groups sent a letter to US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head Carol Browner asking her to help ensure that Mexican officials institute a mandatory toxic chemical pollution inventory.
Under the US and Canadian toxic chemical right-to-know programs, businesses and governments are required by law to report toxic chemical releases and overall waste generated. Mexico's current toxic chemical reporting program is voluntary, so the information available to the public on toxic releases from the country's facilities is minimal -- only 5 percent of reporting facilities submitted this information. Mexico is obligated under NAFTA and other international agreements, however, to provide the public with far greater information on pollution than is currently available.
"Unlike the case in the US and Canada, the public in Mexico has been kept in the dark about pollution from Mexican industry and governmental facilities. Moreover, because pollution does not respect international boundaries, the US public has a right-to-know and to help address toxic chemical pollution originating in Mexico (and vice versa)," the letter says.
"Toxic chemical releases in the US have been reduced by nearly 50 percent in a decade, largely as a result of the US right-to-know program. We need to bring some 'sunshine' to the toxic releases originating in Mexico, so similar progress can be made," said Environmental Defense executive director Fred Krupp, one of the letter's signatories. "Because the upcoming Mexican elections will introduce new uncertainties, it is critical for the current Mexican government to put a mandatory pollutant release and transfer registry in place this year," he said.

Kelly Rowland (born Kelendria Trene Rowland on February 11, 1981) is an American recording artist, songwriter, dancer, actress and television personality. Born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in Houston, Texas, Rowland rose to fame as one of the founding members of the American R&B girl group Destiny's Child, one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time.
During the hiatus of Destiny's Child, Rowland released her debut solo album Simply Deep in 2002, which contained influences of alternative-R&B and rock music. It included her joint worldwide number-one single "Dilemma" with rapper Nelly, and the international top-ten hit "Stole". Following the group's disbandment in 2005, Rowland released her second solo effort Ms. Kelly in 2007 and despite being less successful than its predecessor, it included the international hit singles "Like This" and "Work". In 2009, Rowland scored her second worldwide number-one hit with French DJ David Guetta, on his single "When Love Takes Over". Her third solo album Here I Am was released in 2011 and included the UK top-ten hits "Commander" and "Down for Whatever", as well as the US R&B number-one "Motivation".

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Alleged triad leader faces immigration hearing - 17 years after arrival in Canada
VANCOUVER - Seventeen years after an alleged Asian organized crime boss was granted permanent resident status in Canada, despite being red-flagged for suspected criminal activities, authorities are trying to send him packing.
The case of Lai Tong Sang scandalized the federal immigration system when it was revealed that the man described by Macau police as the leader of the notorious Wo On Lok gang had been allowed into Canada.
Now Lai, his wife and their three children are scheduled for an admissability hearing later this month, where lawyers for Citizenship and Immigration Canada will argue that Lai lied about his membership in a criminal organization in order to gain entry into the country. Authorities allege his wife and children also misrepresented their immigration status.
Melissa Anderson, a spokeswomen for Citizenship and Immigration, confirmed hearings are scheduled over three days beginning Feb. 26 in Vancouver, but she could not comment on why it has taken so long for the case to make its way to a hearing.
According to reports at the time, Lai originally applied for immigration status to Canada in Hong Kong in 1994 but his application was not approved because of his suspected links to organized crime.
In March 1996, Lai reapplied in Hong Kong and then quickly withdrew his application. A couple of months later, he applied at the consulate in Los Angeles, where his application was approved without a background check or so much as a phone call to Hong Kong.
Lai and his family arrived in Vancouver on Oct. 20, 1996.
Various RCMP and U.S. law enforcement reports on Asian organized crime cite the Wo On Lok (or Shui Fong, Water Room gang) as a branch of the Hong Kong-based Wo group, a syndicate with worldwide reach in criminal activity ranging from money laundering to prostitution, the drug trade and human smuggling.
Lai, then 42, left Macau for Canada at a time when then Wo On Lok was embroiled in a war with the rival 14K gang, said reports in Macau media.
In July 1997, after news of his arrival made headlines in Canada, his luxury Vancouver area home was the target of a drive-by shooting.
No one was hurt but later that month, according to reports, immigration officials urged then-immigration minister Lucienne Robillard to declare Lai a danger to the Canadian public, revoke his resident status and deport him.
In September 1997, Robillard was called onto the carpet in Parliament over the Lai case.
"Can the minister tell the House how Lai Tong Sang, the Macao triad leader who received landed status in Canada, slipped through the stranglehold the minister has on organized crime?" asked Opposition MP John Reynolds, referring to an organized crime unit the minister had said was operating within the department.
Robillard cited the Privacy Act in refusing to discuss the specifics of the case, saying he had "not yet" been formally charged.
"Mr. Speaker, it is very clear that anyone who misrepresents his identity or his reasons for coming to Canada can be prosecuted by the Department of Citizenship and Immigration," Robillard responded.
Lai was not charged, or declared a danger to the public.
An administrative review of the breach at the Los Angeles consulate blamed an isolated mistake by honest, overworked employees and absolved consulate employees of corruption or fraud.
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney was not immediately available for comment, but last fall Kenney introduced the Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals Act.
Among the changes, it limits the review options for people who are inadmissible because of concerns over security or organized crime.
"Canadians are generous and welcoming people, but they have no tolerance for criminals and fraudsters abusing our generosity," Kenney said at the time.
Lai's was the first of several high-profile immigration cases to cast a pall over the country's immigration system and strain relations with foreign governments.
Lai Changxing arrived in Canada in 1999, a fugitive from charges he was the kingpin of a $10-billion smuggling ring. Although his refugee claim failed, it would be 12 years before the Canadian government would receive assurances he would not be put to death and the former Chinese businessman was deported. Last year, Lai Changxing was sentenced to life in prison.
Chinese fugitive Deng Xinzhi was deported in 2008 after seven years in Canada to face criminal charges for his alleged role in a $3-million fraud scheme.
Rakesh Saxena, accused of embezzling $88 million from the Bangkok Bank of Commerce and triggering an Asian economic meltdown, was arrested in Whistler in 1996. Saxena battled deportation until 2009.

Active within 24 hours
If Edison had been afraid of the consequences, we'd still be sitting in the dark....
Hello… Thanks for your interest! Here are some starters… About me- I'm a social person and enjoy getting to know the people I encounter each day… this makes me very popular among the elderly population (my neighbors can suck me into half hour conversations about their pets/grandchildren and I have been known to dance with Grandfathers at many of my friend's weddings.) I'm an optimist and try my best to maintain a positive outlook when interacting with others… I have encouraged fellow runners/walkers when running through my neighborhood… BUT what they really don't know is how I keep track of how much I am beating them by (usually measured by the number of times I lap them on my block or the distance ran on the treadmill next to me). Yeah, I'm competitive too. I like to have fun… I sadly, am no stranger to many wineries and breweries in the Finger Lakes from my time spent here in college and now living here. It's a lovely way to spend a Saturday with friends! I am very close with my college friends, their husbands and kids… They could all single handedly destroy me with stories… But I am proud to say that when we get together there is an all on fight for which family will claim me as theirs! I have a niece… she is the cutest and smartest little red head (biased opinion, I know)!! Family is really important to me. I am a sports girl… I can hold my own in a friendly sports debate (especially when it comes to baseball and my beloved Red Sox). I just started coaching soccer at the High school level... Talk about a whole new challenge! I like getting outdoors whenever possible… hiking, snowshoeing… While I have not gone camping since I was a girl scout, I do believe I earned a badge for it back in the day and would be willing to give it a go again. I also really enjoy staying in, crashing on the couch to some good TV (I enjoy season marathons... Still working on Breaking Bad) or I'm always up for an exciting game to watch (Sox, Cuse, Knicks, Bills or any soccer). What I'm looking for- I. Love. To. Laugh. Who doesn't? Life is so much better when you can laugh at yourself and find the humor in all that's around us. I honestly find nothing more attractive than having that sarcastic camaraderie with a guy. I'm also partial to a killer smile, as I really value teeth (I know I'm so vain). Confidence in a guy is very attractive but so is humility... I don't care how much a guy makes, what he owns or how much weight he deadlifts, but more importantly how he treats the people around him. Just looking for someone who can value these traits, challenge me with some newness and really just enjoy life's journey with. Above all else, the most important thing is finding a good person that I not only find fun and attractive but someone admirable in their own way! Oh and I am a devoted Red Sox fan.... so no Yankee fans please. Just kidding... well kind of.

I like Dogs
I love dogs. I am really itching to get one for a companion and a possible running partner. However, I am currently away from home too much... in time though! I grew up with German Short Hairs... very intelligent but rather hyperactive dogs.
Middle of the Road
I have been fortunate enough to travel to Europe twice and experience Australia. I look forward to exploring more of the US. I always enjoy getting together with friends for weekend visits. I also love discovering new local restaurants/pubs.

I'm always watching the Sox or SU Bball when on tv but can always get into a good game of any sport. I also love red wine, thunder storms, the color yellow, and watermelon. Warning: I am a morning person-ya, one of those… let's take on the day!
I'm a traveler. I love taking trips and exploring new places. concerts and live music are fun! In the winter months I have started snowshoeing. I am a runner but after a number of knee surgeries I'm proceeding with caution at the gym.
I'm currently reading, Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan. And as always I try to stay up on work related "stuff".

Ok, here's a very short and to the point question. When trying to import a virtual PC 2004 Windows 2003 Server VM in VM Workstation 6.0.2 I'm getting an error 'unable to determine guest operating system'. Soo how to fix?

This is a fairly generic error from VMware Converter so I would try the following:
Step 1. Make sure you are running the latest version of VMware Converter. Updates seem to come pretty often for this tool.
Step 2. Check the VMware Converter log file. More often than not you will find the source of your problem here.
