The Bali Nine is the name given to a group of nine Australians arrested on 17 April 2005 in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia, for planning to smuggle 8.3 kg (18 lb) of heroin valued at around A$4 million (3.1 million US dollars) from Indonesia to Australia.[1] Andrew Chan, Si Yi Chen, Michael Czugaj, Renae Lawrence, Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen, Matthew Norman, Scott Rush, Martin Stephens and Myuran Sukumaran,[2] faced the death penalty or life in prison if convicted.[3]
On 13 February 2006, Lawrence and Rush, the first of the nine to face sentencing, were sentenced to life imprisonment.[4] The next day, Czugaj and Stephens were sentenced to life imprisonment,[5] and the group ringleaders, Chan and Sukumaran were sentenced to death by firing squad,[6] the first ever death sentences imposed by the Denpasar District Court. The other three, Norman, Chen and Nguyen were all sentenced to life imprisonment on 15 February 2006.[7] On 26 April 2006, Lawrence, Nguyen, Chen, and Norman appealed and had their sentences reduced to 20 years,[8] while the life sentences for Czugaj and Stephens were upheld. Prosecutors launched appeals against the changes in their sentences.
On 6 September 2006, it was revealed that as a result of appeals brought by prosecutors and heard by the Supreme Court, Chen had the death penalty reimposed after his reduced sentence of life imprisonment was overturned. Rush, Nguyen and Norman also had their appeal verdicts overturned and the death penalty imposed.[9] The new death sentences were unexpected. Prosecutors, in their appeals against the 20-year terms faced by most of the nine, had only called for them to be upgraded to life imprisonment. Czugaj's life sentence, after being reduced to 20 years on appeal, was reinstated. Stephens' life sentence was upheld on appeal as were Sukumaran's and Chan's death sentences.[10] Lawrence had not lodged a further appeal to her 20-year sentence, so her sentence was not rejudged.[8]
On 6 March 2008, it was revealed that three of the four Bali 9 (Norman, Chen and Nguyen) who were issued death sentences on appeal had their sentences reduced to life imprisonment. The reduction has not been officially announced but court sources have confirmed that the judges have decided to spare their lives.[11] In August 2010, Rush launched his final appeal to overturn the death penalty, and was granted a judicial review, which commenced on 18 August 2010. On 10 May 2011, Rush's appeal was successful as his sentence was reduced to life imprisonment.[12] On 21 September 2010, the leaders of the drug smuggling ring, Chan and Sukumaran appealed against their pending death-row sentence and to reduce their jail time to 20 years, instead of the previous life sentence.[13] On 17 June 2011, it was announced that Chan's final judicial appeal was rejected on 10 May.[14][15] On 7 July 2011 it was announced that Sukumaran's final judicial appeal was dismissed. On 10 December 2014, the President of Indonesia Joko Widodo stated in a speech that he will not approve any clemencies for drug offences. On 30 December, Sukumaran's plea for clemency was rejected;[16][17][18] and Chan's plea for clemency was rejected on 22 January 2015.[19][20][21] Both Sukumaran and Chan are currently in Kerobokan Prison awaiting the completion of their sentence via execution, having exhausted all appeal opportunities.[22]
In January 2015 Australia's prime minister, Tony Abbott, together with Australia's minister for foreign affairs, Julie Bishop, made representations to Jokowi and Indonesia's foreign minister, Retno Marsudi, for clemency in the commutation of Sukumaran and Chan's sentences.[23]
Sukumaran and Chan are expected to be executed on the Indonesian penal island of Nusa Kambangan by the end of March 2015. Together with consular officials from France, Brazil, Nigeria and the Philippines, representatives from the Australian embassy attended a foreign affairs ministry briefing on procedural matters concerning the executions.[24]

Police were unclear how the two groups from Sydney and Brisbane were linked, but did establish the movements of members of the group before their departure for Indonesia. Several of the Bali Nine were employed by Eurest Australia, a multinational catering company with more than 9000 employees. Norman, Lawrence, Martin, Stephens and Chan, a supervisor with the company, all worked for Eurest, which provided hospitality services to the Sydney Cricket Ground, where the group was employed.[25] Rush and Czugaj alleged they were recruited by Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen, their co-defendant and the alleged financier of the smuggling plan, while socialising at a karaoke bar in Brisbane.[26]
Evidence was heard that Rush had met Nguyen six months earlier while fishing. He then travelled to Sydney with Nguyen to attend a 21st birthday party where he was introduced to Sukumaran, who called himself "Mark". It was alleged Nguyen offered them free trips to Bali. Several days later Rush and friend Czugaj returned to Sydney, where arrangements were made for them to travel to Indonesia. Neither had been overseas before. Lawrence had travelled to Bali three times, first arriving on 16 October 2004, then again on 5 December 2004 and 6 April 2005. Norman on 5 December 2004, 19 January 2005 and 6 April 2005; Sukumaran on 4 October 2004 and 8 April 2005; Chan on 16 October 2004 and 6 April 2005 and Nguyen on 5 December 2004 and 8 April 2005. Chen, Stephens, Czugaj and Rush were also on their first trip abroad when arrested on 17 April 2005.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) concluded that Sukumaran, Chan, Lawrence and Norman were part of a larger syndicate that successfully imported a commercial quantity of heroin into Australia from Indonesia on 23 October 2004. Other members of the syndicate were arrested in 14 AFP raids in Sydney and Brisbane on the same day in early May 2005.[27]
Arrests in Indonesia[edit]
Lawrence and Stephens arrived in Indonesia on 6 April, followed by Rush and Czugaj, old school friends from Brisbane, who arrived two days later. The group was introduced at a hotel where Chan and Sukumaran were staying, having arrived in Bali, earlier.[28] The group was highly organised by Chan and Sukumaran who split it apart. Some of the Bali 9 did not even meet each other until they were arrested. In the book One-Way Ticket – The Untold Story of the Bali 9, Cindy Wockner and Madonna King write, "Indeed, both trips had been plotted, and re-plotted, the operation schemed to the nth degree. Every 'I' had been dotted, every 'T' crossed. And then checked. And re-checked." In reference to a previous trip to Bali, the book says, "this new trip had to be different: it would run like clockwork."
Chan and Sukumaran handed out SIM cards, to stay in contact. During their stay police noted the group would spend a large amount of time indoors in their hotel rooms, although Rush and Czugaj did make the most of their time in Bali and went shopping, eating, drinking and playing water sports. The group met again on 16 April for what police allege was a final briefing, before meeting for their final time at the airport before their 17 April arrest. After receiving information from the AFP about the group, including the names, passport numbers and information relating to their links to possible illegal drug trade, Indonesian police placed the group under constant surveillance for a week before their arrest. Indonesian police believe a 22-year-old Thai woman, Cherry Likit Bannakorn, supplied Chen with the heroin. She is wanted by Interpol.[29][30]
Likit was believed to have left Bali on 18 April 2005, a day after the nine Australians were arrested, and was briefly detained at the Thai-Malaysian border until Indonesian police arrived. She was released when her paperwork was determined not to be in order for her to be extradited to Indonesia. Head of the surveillance team I Nyoman Gatra later testified in court during trials for the accused that police were initially unaware Sukumaran was part of the group, because original information obtained from the AFP did not mention him by name. Indonesian police assumed Sukumaran was Chan's bodyguard as he was seen to accompany Chan in Bali.[1] Four of the nine, friends Czugaj and Rush, and co-workers Stephens and Lawrence were arrested at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport as they prepared to board an Australia-bound flight.
Between them, all were found to have been carrying more than 8.3 kilograms (18 lb) of heroin in plastic bags strapped to their bodies. On the same evening, Chan was removed from a commercial flight about to depart Ngurah Rai for Australia. Chan had several mobile phones in his possession, but was carrying no drugs when arrested. He was believed to be the person responsible for collecting the heroin from the couriers upon their arrival in Australia.[2] Four others, Nguyen, Sukumaran, Chen and Norman were arrested at Melasti Beach Bungalows near Kuta Beach in possession of 350 grams (12 oz) of heroin and strapping equipment.
Criminal proceedings[edit]
Pre-trial investigation[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2011)
Indonesian law does not require that arrested people be immediately charged with an offence, and by 22 April 2005 no charges had yet been laid. Police indicated that the five arrested at the airport would be charged with drug trafficking, which carries the death penalty, while those arrested in the hotel would be charged with the lesser offence of drug possession, which carries a maximum penalty of ten years' imprisonment. By 26 April 2005, media speculation suggested that Andrew Chan recruited the other eight to act as drug mules – couriers who would not arouse suspicion while carrying heroin to Australia – and offered them A$10,000 to A$15,000 each to carry out this task, although some reports claim that they were only going to get A$5000.
On 27 April 2005, Colonel Bambang Sugiarto, head of the Bali police drug squad, said police would seek to have all nine charged with offenses which carry the death penalty. He revealed that several of the nine had previously visited Bali using false passports, suggesting that they had acted as drug couriers before. Indonesian police released video evidence showing heroin being removed from the bodies of the four arrested at the airport. Indonesian police initially maintained that Chan was the "mastermind" of the importation plan. "They were following Chan's instructions and if they didn't follow these instructions their families would be killed," Sugiarto said.
Australian police said that they believed that an Australian drug syndicate was behind the plan. Mike Phelan, International Operations Chief of the AFP, said, "This is obviously some sort of sophisticated syndicate. In excess of 10 kg of heroin is a large amount and by definition it requires a distribution network here in Australia." Lawyers in Indonesia engaged by the families of those arrested appeared in media interviews, to concede that the four arrested at the airport were acting as drug couriers. Anggia Browne was quoted as saying, "They are only couriers – they did it just for money." She said they were from low-income families, and did not know that drug trafficking in Indonesia carries the death penalty. Investigations closed in August 2005 and briefs handed prosecutors in Denpasar ready for trial.
Reactions in Australia[edit]
The parents of Rush and Lawrence criticised the AFP for allowing the Indonesian police to arrest the nine rather than allowing them to fly to Australia and arresting them in Sydney upon their return.
On 24 April 2005, AFP Commissioner Mick Keelty said the AFP would hand over all evidence it had obtained against the Bali Nine:[31]
"The policy is that we will not give evidence that will, or information that will, directly cause or result in somebody receiving the death penalty, but the reality is in this case, it would appear, on the allegation, that these people have been caught red-handed with heroin in Indonesia."
— Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty, May 2005.
Lawrence's father, Bob Lawrence, said in October 2005 that he wanted to meet Keelty face to face after learning of the comments made by Lee Rush:[32]
"As far as I'm concerned, and excuse the expression, [Keelty] is an arsehole. These kids were forced into this … they should have been either arrested at the airport here or followed to get the big guys. I don't know how they can sleep at night … even if [the Bali Nine] were guilty of doing it willingly, it still doesn't deserve the death penalty."
— Bob Lawrence, father of Renae Lawrence, October 2005.
On 13 February 2006, Rush's parents gave an interview to the ABC TV program Australian Story, speaking out against AFP actions. Rush's parents were quoted as saying:[33][34][35][36]
"I was informed at 1.30 in the morning that Scott would be spoken to and asked not to board the flight to Bali. It wasn't until about mid-morning that I received a call from Bob (Rush's lawyer) and a distressed tone in his voice he said 'Mate, we could not stop him, they have let him go through and he's on his way to Bali.' Under no circumstances do I condone the trafficking of drugs – I particularly dislike drugs of any nature, always have. When I received a call from the Australian Government authorities that Scott had been detained in Indonesia for attempting to export heroin, I was speechless, sickened to the gut."
— Lee Rush, father of Scott Rush interviewed on ABC TV's Australian Story, February 2006.
"I feel very let down by our Australian Federal Police – we tried to lawfully stop our son leaving the country, it wasn't done..... "The Federal Police can do, go wherever they want, do anything, anytime without supervision from the Australian Attorney-General or from the Justice Minister."....."This is not good for Australians and our laws need to be changed to protect our citizens and this must not happen to any Australian citizen again."
— Christine Rush, mother of Scott Rush, February 2006.
In an interview aired on the same episode of Australian Story, Mike Phelan of the AFP responded to the Rush family's criticisms and said:[33][37]
"Even with the aid of hindsight, should the same set of circumstances present themselves again with another syndicate or other people, we would do exactly the same thing ... there have also been a large number of young lives on the other side of the ledger that have been saved as a result of the AFP's operations over many years."
— AFP's Mike Phelan interviewed on ABC TV's Australian Story, February 2006.
Keelty went on to state that "if someone went back to Lee Rush and assured him that Scott would not be able to travel then that is their call."[38]
"We would never have given any assurance, because there was no lawful reason to prevent him from travelling. My sympathy is with Lee Rush because somebody has misled him. Whoever gave Lee Rush the assurance that his son would be prevented from travelling acted dishonourably. There is no way anyone in the AFP would have provided that assurance because there was simply no power to detain him. He was not wanted on warrants, there were no conditions of his bail that prevented him from travelling overseas."
— AFP Commissioner Keelty on ABC TV's Lateline, February 2006.
The federal justice minister, Senator Chris Ellison, defended the AFP's actions:[39]
"What we have are serious allegations as to criminal activity which allegedly occurred on Indonesian soil and the Indonesian police acted accordingly. We would expect the same of Australian police if the situation was reversed."
— Federal Justice Minister, Senator Chris Ellison, April 2005.
The Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, said that Australia opposed the death penalty and would seek clemency for the group if they were convicted.[40]
Philip Ruddock, a federal MP, was quoted as saying:[41]
"We will not provide co-operation in relation to criminal matters unless there is an assurance that a death penalty will not be sought. If there was further information that had to be obtained from here through the Australian Federal Police, we would seek an assurance that Indonesia would not be wanting a death penalty in each of those cases."
— Philip Ruddock, MP, September 2005.
Rush, Lawrence, Stephens and Czugaj began legal proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia against the AFP, arguing that it had acted illegally by tipping off Indonesian police with information leading to the arrests in Bali and knowingly exposed the Australians them to the death penalty. Federal Court judges dismissed the claims in January 2006.
Criminal trials[edit]
Criminal trials for the accused commenced in the Denpasar District Court on 11 October 2005. Three of the four arrested at the Melasti Bungalows, Nguyen, Chen and Norman, were tried together, with the remaining six defendants tried separately. All defendants faced a maximum penalty of death by firing squad if found guilty. The trials were often delayed due to the defendants complaining of illness, headaches and nausea. Australia's prime minister, John Howard, said the Australian government would oppose any death sentences imposed, saying:[42]
On 6 December 2005, Australian lawyers Robert Richter QC and Brian Walters QC called for the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions to extradite the nine to Australia on heroin conspiracy related charges.[43] On 7 December 2005, Denpasar District Court judge I Wayan Yasa Abadhi called for Australians not to interfere in the legal proceedings in Indonesia, saying:[44]
"Criticism from outside is expected, but Indonesian courts will only adhere to the laws applied in this country, and that includes the death penalty. The judges will not budge, we will not be affected by public opinion or the media."
— Denpasar District Court Judge I Wayan Yasa Abadhi, December 2005.
Sukumaran remained mostly silent throughout the proceedings and blamed amnesia for his poor recollections of events leading to his arrest. Trials were scheduled to be completed with verdicts announced before 23 February 2006, before a legal deadline for the group's detention expired.[45]
Lawrence claimed that she received threats of harm against herself and her family if she did not proceed with the plan to import heroin into Australia; she gave evidence in the Denpasar District Court, that she was ordered to book a flight to Bali. She claimed she did not know why she was ordered to travel and her work colleague Stephens claims he was also ordered with threats to travel to Bali by Chan, who showed him some photographs of his family, as they were going about their daily lives, saying that they would be killed if he did not co-operate.[46]
The Indonesian judges found no evidence of threats, with Judge I Gusti Ngurah Astawa saying during the sentencing of Lawrence.
Rush further accused Chan of strapping the heroin to his body wearing rubber gloves. Chan protested his innocence and defending his silence during his final plea, reading from a two-page statement:[47]
"I didn't say anything in court because if I did, I'd be lying. The truth is, I know nothing. A lot of lies have been said against me, but the true reality is I'm not what people put me out to be. I've never threatened anybody in my life. The outcome I wish, of course, and my family is that you find that you would release me, for I had nothing to participate in this."
— Andrew Chan, reading from his statement before the Denpasar District Court prior to his sentencing, February 2006.
In sentencing Lawrence, Indonesian judges found no evidence of her claims that her life was threatened and although the prosecutors requested a lighter 20-year sentence due to her early cooperation with police, the judges nonetheless sentenced her to life imprisonment. On the next day, the remaining three defendants, Chen, Nguyen and Norman, were sentenced to life imprisonment as well. On 24 January 2006, the prosecutors demanded the death penalty for Sukumaran, this being the first time that a demand of death was put forward for any of the Bali Nine. They told the Bali court that there was no reason to show any leniency to the 24-year-old, because he helped organize the heroin smuggling operation. The prosecutors also claim that it was Sukumaran who strapped heroin to the bodies of his fellow accused. Indonesian police identified Sukumaran as one of the main players, in what they said to be a major smuggling ring.[48] On 26 January, it was also recommended that Andrew Chan receive the death penalty.[49]
On 14 February 2006, after learning of his fate, Sukumaran attacked photographers and threw water bottles at protesters and onlookers gathered outside the court building.[50]
After news of the death penalty, Australian prime minister John Howard was quoted as saying:[5][51]
"Can I just say to every young Australian, please take notice of this. I even beg them not to take the terrible risks that these young people have done – their lives destroyed in the case of two people. I feel desperately sorry for the parents of these people, I do ... but the warnings have been there for decades and how on earth any young Australian can be so stupid as to take the risk is completely beyond me."
— Australia's prime minister, John Howard, quoted following the news of the death penalty, February 2006.
The death sentences were criticised by some Australians, who compared them to the light sentence given to Abu Bakar Bashir, the Indonesian leader of the terrorist group which carried out the 2002 Bali bombings that killed more than 200 people including 88 Australians.[52] Both death sentences were cheered by some of those in court.[53]
Summary of sentences[edit]
All of the Bali Nine were convicted of drug trafficking of heroin.

|Enfield, New South Wales
|Si Yi Chen
|Doonside, New South Wales
|Michael Czugaj
|Oxley, Queensland
|Renae Lawrence

There were several avenues of appeal available to the Bali Nine. Lawyers had seven days post-sentencing to lodge appeals. There is no time limit for those convicted to request clemency from the Indonesian president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, however this requires an admission of guilt and had never been granted for a drug crime until 2009. All appealed to overturn their sentence. The sentences of Chen, Czugaj, Nguyen, Norman and Stephens stand at life imprisonment and Lawrence's sentence remains at 20 years after appeal. In May 2011, Rush's death sentence was reduced to life after he launched a final appeal in August 2010.[12] Chan and Sukumaran launched final appeals to have their death sentences reduced in August 2010.[61] Chan lost his appeal to the Indonesian Supreme Court on 10 May 2011 and Sukumaran's appeal was dismissed on 6 July 2011. Both made pleas for clemency to the Indonesian President that were rejected in December 2014[16] and January 2015.[19] They are expected to be executed by firing squad.[14][15][60][62][63][64]
In late January 2015, lawyers for Chan and Sukumaran filed an application for a judicial review into their cases;[65][66] which was rejected by the Denpasar District Court a few days later.[67][68] Meanwhile, Indonesian officials continued planning for the execution of Chan and Sukumaran:[69]
"The applied norm is that the judicial review doesn't stop the execution process, the convicts have received the president's decree which declines their clemency request."
— Tony Spontana, a spokesperson for Muhammad Prasetyo, the Attorney General of Indonesia, January 2015.
In a final attempt to avert the death penalty, on 9 February 2015 the lawyers for Chan and Sukumaran launched a rare challenge against the Indonesian president's refusal to grant them pardons;[70] which was dismissed by the Indonesian government a day later.[71]
Reaction in Australia[edit]
A candlelight vigil hosted by the Mercy Campaign, entitled Music for Mercy, was held in Sydney's Martin Place on the evening of 29 January 2015 in support of Chan and Sukumaran. The concert featured performances by Archibald Prize artist Ben Quilty, singer-songwriter Megan Washington, Josh Pyke, Kate Miller-Heidke, Paul Mac, Glenn Richards from Augie March, and The Presets' Julian Hamilton; with Andrew Denton, his partner, Jennifer Byrne, and Missy Higgins who recorded video messages of support for Chan and Sukumara.[72][73][74] Amnesty International organised similar vigils in Federation Square, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, and Byron Bay.[75][76]
A SMS opinion poll of 2,123 people was conducted by Roy Morgan Research over the Australia Day weekend and the results were broadcast on ABC's Triple J radio network. The poll revealed that 52 per cent of people agreed that Australians convicted of drug trafficking in another country and sentenced to death should be executed.[77][78] Muhammad Prasetyo, Indonesia's attorney general, was reported as saying that there was strong support in Australia for the death penalty:[79]
Related arrests[edit]
On 27 April 2005, Indonesian police shot and killed Man Singh Ghale, a known major Indonesian drug trafficker believed to be directly connected to the Bali Nine. Ghale, of Nepali origin, was killed when police stormed his Jakarta home.[80] Australian Federal Police commissioner Mick Keelty said Ghale was "directly linked" to the Bali Nine.[81] Six men aged between 19 and 25 were arrested and released on bail in Brisbane on drug trafficking charges believed to be associated with the Bali Nine. On 12 February 2006, police arrested Do Hyung Lee, a 25-year-old of South Korean origin, at Brisbane Airport after arriving on a flight from South Korea.[82] Lee was charged with drug trafficking and importation offences and appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on 13 February 2006, the same day the first of the nine accused in Indonesia learned of their fate. Lee was bailed to reappear in court with the five others on 3 April 2006.[83] Keelty told a Senate estimates committee hearing that more arrests were expected.[84]
Prior criminal records and charges against some of the Bali Nine[edit]
Details of previous criminal convictions of some of the accused were not published during the trial to avoid harming legal defences in Indonesia. Once the Denpasar District court reached guilty verdicts and issued sentences it was reported in the Australian media that members of the group had been convicted of offences in Australia before their arrests in Indonesia. In December 2004 Rush pleaded guilty at the Inala Magistrates' Court in Queensland to 16 offences including drug possession, fraud, theft and drink-driving. A warrant for his arrest in Australia remains in place over the theft of $A4,797 from the Commonwealth Bank via a forged cheque.[85] Czugaj, also of Brisbane, has 14 convictions for offences including theft, wilful damage, traffic offences and fare evasion.[86]
Lawrence and Norman were arrested on 26 March 2005, while travelling along the Pacific Highway in a stolen Ford Laser after police used road spikes to intercept the stolen vehicle. Both were due to appear in the Gosford Magistrates Court to face car theft and traffic-related charges. On 26 April 2005, they failed to appear due to their imprisonment in Indonesia a week earlier on 17 April 2005.[87] Lawrence also admitted, after her arrest in Indonesia on 17 April 2005, of having visited Bali twice before: in October and November 2004. She and Chan had made an earlier successful run with heroin from Bali to Australia during their October visit. The second delivery, scheduled for December 2004, was aborted when the heroin suppliers failed to deliver.[88] Lawrence provided a statement to police saying she was paid $A10,000 for the successful heroin delivery but later retracted her statement.[89]

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Straf Milan
Top notch service
My family and I stayed in the Straf Hotel for a weekend in April, we have stayed in various 4 star Hotels in Europe and have always been generally pleased with the service we have received, our stay at the Straf has been the most memorable.
The room we stayed in were very clean and comfortable the entire Hotel was always very clean and is very well presented and at most we loved the design that make this place unique, great bathrooms but rooms were a bit dingy and dark.
Breakfast service offered by Ms. Raffella was top notch, always smiling, very attentive and fast in serving. All the staff was corteous at reception but Raffella was five stars.
All in all, a great stay!
Really cool hotel, stongly recommend it
This is an extremely chic hotel, just 10 yards from the Piazza del Duomo. We were afraid the design would be over-bearing, but in fact it was excellent. The staff were extremely helpful and never condescending, as they can be in some of the trendy hotels.
One thing that really needs a mention is the sound proofing of the rooms - among the best I've ever experienced. We were there during the annual White Night party (and what a party), but with the windows closed we couldn't hear the nearby rock concert.
Would definitely stay here again.
I stayed at the Straf for a long weekend and my first impressions were great; the place looks good and staff are very friendly.
Once I entered the room I did had some trouble and spent about half an hour figuring out where the light switch for the bathroom was. If you are in this situtation, do not pull
The breakfast is great and staff are always on hand to recommend bars/restaurants/clubs. If you do decide to stay here, don't forget the hotel bar, it's small with a good cocktail list, happy hour from 6.30 until 9 and great for the aperitivo.
The location is perfect as well, close to the Duomo and close as well to the shopping area. Who cares about culture though when Prada and Cavalli are just a stonethrow away?
And now for somehing completely different...
We loved the Straf! They've really made an effort to create a unique, design oriented hotel and have succeeded admirably. The room designs highlight textures of concrete and fabrics with creative use of lighting. The effect is simultaneously spartan and warm. The location can't be beat, steps from the Duomo and shopping. Our room was quiet even though it faced the street. It had a balcony that gave us a close up view of the statues on the Duomo. We got a great promotional deal at 162 euros, which included a bottle of champagne and a fruit bowl (after we reminded them that it was promised with the reservation). Breakfast was the best we had in italy, with a full spread. Our one complaint was that the room wasn't ready when we arrived at 11:30am and still wasn't ready until 2:30 in the afternoon.
Loved it!
We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and the absolutely loved it! The staff are extremely helpful and go out of their way to help you with all our needs. I highly recommend the hotel to others who like minimalistic design. The location of the hotel is just superb, and the breakfast is marvelous.
Totally diferent
I loved the hotel but my friend hated it. Too much black and concrete for her. So all a matter of taste. Although we paid 245 euros we certainly didnt get a good room. Make sure you are not near the hotel service entrance ( Room 103) From 5am laundry, bottle glass and bins are emptied. Breakfast is good and the hotel bar is great (buffet v good) Location very good. Staff helpful. Noise terrible
Luxurious Minimalism!
This is a very chic hotel in the most fantastic location. Steps to the Duomo, La Scala, Montenapoleone and the Metro. It is on a very quiet side street. I was on the 2nd floor facing the street and heard nothing.
It is true that the design is very modern and minimalistic. I tend to find the rooms in a lot of these minimalistic boutique hotels disappointing. Lobby areas and public rooms are great but the rooms are tiny and uncomfortable. Certainly, concrete walls and floors may sound cold and off putting to some and I was a little apprehensive when booking. The rooms and the bathroom were a great size - especially by European standards - and I actually found the combinations of materials and textures used to be rather luxurious. The room could easily have served as an Armani or Gucci showroom. Absolutely beautiful!
Staff was friendly. My only complaint was that my room was not ready until 2 and I had requested an early check in given that I was arriving from overseas 1st thing in the morning. The hotel was fully booked and it is small so what can you do. Also, the beds are very firm!
I got a great internet rate directly from the hotel - 150 euros for a king room, which was definitely a bargain for Milan. I would definitely stay there again.
Great location, so-so hotel....
The location is absolutely great, you are just steps from the Duomo. The hotel itself though, isn't worth more than 100Euro per night. The room literally is concrete walls and concrete floors and the shower has a weird design where you'll end up soaking the floor (hopefully by now they've put in shower curtains). The staff were great though. Right down the street is the Gray Hotel, ultra swanky if you want a posh design hotel, or for another great design hotel, the Enterprise Hotel is a new one, though it's location is far from the Duomo and more towards the Fiera. Otherwise if you're into bare minimalism, you'll enjoy the Straf.
Great place, Great Location!
We stayed at the Hotel Straf for a long weekend and found it to be just as i had hoped! The hotel is very tranquil and the staff are extremely helpful!! When we arrived our room was not quite ready, and I was a little dissappointed as I had read on the Internet that it would be available from 1pm. We went and had a drink for an hour and on our return we were told that we had been upgraded to the best room the hotel had to offer, and it was fantastic!
Breakfast was very enjoyable and the location of the hotel, couldn't be any better!!
I would without a doubt recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in the centre of Milan....but get there quickly while the low introductory rates are available!! As i'm sure they won't stay this low for long!
Cool concrete by the Duomo
The Straf is a newly renovated, or rather, totally transformed hotel located in a narrow side street beside the Duomo. Part of the Design Hotels group, the Straf impresses with its cutting edge use of raw materials, notably concrete to create a tranquil, soothing space.
We had a Standard King on the second floor overlooking the street. No exterior noise was apparent - nor interior disturbances due to the thickness of the walls. The bed was big, brand new and super comfortable. The bathroom was funky and functional.
Breakfast was excellent. Staff were fairly young and friendly. A bar should open in the hotel by the end of May 2004.
Overall, a great option in central Milan. Go now while there are opening offers.

Travel Blogs from Milan
The Last Supper, in Milano, until the next time.
The Duomo of Milan is an amazing sight. Stretching up high above the piazza del Duomo, it's the third largest church in Christendom. A staggering three thousand five hundred statues and one hundred and thirty-five spires adorn the marble structure, which has a Baroque and neo-Gothic fa�ade, as well as five bronze doors carved by different artists. …

Video Girl and Battery Boy packed again and walked from Hotel Du Lac to the usual sound of luggage wheels rolling and bouncing across the grey cobblestones of Italy.

The bus …
Come to Como

Not so glamorous Bergamo
Leaving Milano, we started the day with Bergamo which is an ancient town about 40 km east of Milan we've been hearing a lot about. I have to admit that it wasn't as great as I thought it would be. Maybe it's just me setting my expectation too high.
The old town (citta alta) is up on the hill and we had to take ...

Casa Palmas-What can I say...From the point of view of a 23 year

was paradise. The house situated about 250m from the beach is a
beautiful open concept home with lots of natural light.

This is an amazing house and city. My husband and I rented the

decided that we will never vacation in a hotel room again! The view

WOW! I completely agree with the other reviews posted here...You
can't beat this as a vacation spot or find a better person to rent
from! Pauline was in constant contact with us from start to finish

in. I can definitely recommend the upper stories (where we stayed).

Hi Pauline. I just thought I�d send you a quick note to tell you we
had a wonderful time in Playa
Del Carmen. We had a little difficulty getting our ride when we
first arrived but everything went
smoothly after that. You have a beautiful house in a beautiful
area. We particularly enjoyed the
atmosphere and view from the roof. We were able to do many things
while we were there, e.g. tour of
Tulum, snorkeling, and had dinner cooked for us by Sergio�s
parents. And we found many fine
restaurants along 5th Avenue, We will be sure to tell our friends
about your place. Thanks again
for all your help in making this a great vacation.

Pierre & Karen Bartlette and Family Calgary, AB
This was the 2nd time we rented this house. The first being in 2005
with just 4 members of our family. This vacation was to mark a
special occassion for our whole family (13 of us), and it was an
added bonus to finally meet Pauline in person after so many years.
Pauline and her staff always go above and beyond what is expected,
and because of that it makes for a more relaxing, comfortable
vacation for all. For this past vacation (December 2008) this house
was occupied by members of the family that had never been to Mexico
before. They felt very comfortable and right at home, and in the
words of the kids 'this place is a PALACE!' The adults also highly
recommend this as a vacation home not to be missed.
We've been told that everyone wished they had spent a bit more time
on the rooftop patio, but there's always next time which we're
already starting to plan for in 2009. They all loved it THAT much. If
you are looking for a vacation in paradise look no further than Casa
Palmas De Baja Mar.
Thank you again Pauline & Staff!

Beautiful vacation house
We loved it!!! Will return in a second!
Perfect location, beautiful home
This was our first trip to Playa and all of us agreed it's a perfect vacation spot. We enjoyed relaxing at the beach, visiting Mayan sites (we rented cars and easily drove to Chichen Itza, Coba and Tulum), snorkeling off Cozumel, exploring the more deserted beaches south of Tulum, walking around town and visiting an Ecopark. We always felt safe - even walking back to Casa Palmas after dark from an evening in town.
Thank you Pauline for allowing us to share your home! We'd love to return!
Great visit in April 2012
Chris from San Francisco
From Honeymooners to Proud Parents
We wanted a peaceful honeymoon so we decided against an all inclusive resort, it met and exceeded our expectations from the arrival at the airport where our personal driver Johnny awaited to bring us to our villa of paradise. Upon our arrival at Casa Palmas we were greeted by Sergio whom we are now so fond of. He took such great care of us I wish we could bring him back home and not to mention sweet Myra (maid). We were truly pampered :) The home was always clean and anything we needed was at our disposal. The main activity we did at the time was visit Xcaret. A must see !! we swam with the dolphines, went on a underwater sea trek, snorkling and saw an awesome live show at night, it was a great experience.
In Dec 2009 I was 3 months pregnant and needed some downtime and we couldnt think of a better place to go but back to our little piece of paradise.We rented Casa Palmas for a month. I had a few complications when I was there and that's when we met Dr Bernardo. He does housecalls and we thought that was amazing. He was so helpfull and caring checking up on me until we left. The location of the villa was a major plus this time, the beach is steps away and 5th Avenue where all the amazing shops and restaurants are is a 5 minute walk away that was a blessing for my swollen feet !!!! If I could have, I would have stayed there the remainder of my pregnancy but sadly that month flew by. In December 2010 we came back this time with our 5 month old boy in tow. What an amazing experience all over again, this time we had our very own POOL !!! and whats better no chlorine for my newborn's skin :) we also loved the fact that you have a water filter in the house now so we felt safe bathing our son without any fear of him swallowing contaminated water. Casa Palmas also provided us with a carseat in the pick up van, highchair, playpen to sleep in and an activity center ! Talk about being pampered !! Pauline & Alfred you have thought of it all. Everything else we needed we were able to purchase at the local walmart ! You have made a client for life and we will contiinue to share your villa with our growing family and we have recommended this property to all our friends and family. Thank you for sharing this spectacular home with us ! :)

I have been due booting with Vista and Windows 7 for a while but no longer need Vista. I plan to use this HDD as an internal back up.
I assumed I could just format the drive when in Windows 7 which is installed on a different HDD but I get the message:
'This device is in use. Another program or process is using this drive. Do you want to format it anyway?'
Clicking yes I get:
Windows cannot format this drive. Quit any utilities or other programs that are using this drive, and make sure that no window is displaying the contents of the drive. Then try formatting again.
Any ideas?

That's because the boot loader is on your c drive same as vista.
If the W7 is on a separate drive (not partition) remove the c:drive
put the sata cable from the D: drive into the first sata port
Boot from the W7 DVD and select startup repair from the menu.
Windows will install a new boot loader on the drive.
Make syre windows 7 boots normally after the repair.
Then you can reconnect the old drive into the second sata port restart the machine and you should then be able to format it and use it as a spare drive.

Guest Post: A game plan for Google in online real estate
- Kevin Lisota
The rumble of Google potentially entering the real estate game became a roar in 2009. They updated Google Maps to better display real estate listing information in July, and as of last month the rumors are swirling about a potential acquisition of Trulia.
Google and Bing have clearly been trying to surface more and more detail directly in the search engines, and showing real estate listings directly is no exception. It is pretty clear that Google has big aspirations to be a player in the real estate search game, and we are likely to see that begin to play out in 2010.
Galen Ward of Estately wrote a post on TechFlash a few months back saying that "Google real estate is the king of inferior products." It looks like they may use acquisitions to change that, with potentially far-reaching consequences for the real estate industry and for many local startups, including Zillow, Redfin and Estately.
What makes for a successful real estate search site? Consumers are driven to use real estate sites by four key factors that Google will need to win in this market.
1. Data Reliability: Active real estate buyers need the most reliable listing data to find the homes currently for sale. Today that reliability only exists for sites that are fed by the thousands of local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) databases used by real estate agents. Google's current listing database is incomplete and out-of-date. Zillow and Trulia fare better here with feeds from some large brokerages and a few MLS systems, but they are still not perceived as "up-to-date" or "complete." Redfin is a brokerage, so they have an advantage and are able to show live MLS data, but only in select metro area where they do business. The top real estate site remains Realtor.com. They get feeds from most MLS systems in the country and are closely aligned with local real estate agents. Google's popularity in search and mapping will make an easier case for brokerages and MLS systems to feed data directly to them, and this is the most critical aspect to their long-term success.

My GS4 took a tumble tonight and while Titanium Backup will still back it up tonight I was really hoping to get one more CWM backup of it. The problem is the screen will not turn on.
Currently I run TriForceROM (MF9) and CWM 220.127.116.11 Advanced Edition / PhilZ Touch 6.19.6.
I know the phone is working because if I call it I the phone rings. What I was wondering is if it is possible to reboot the phone into CWM via ADB. If that is not possible I think I can boot into CWM using the key combination.
Once I am into CWM is it possible to start a new full backup using ADB? If it is what is the command?
Is is possible to perform a factory reset via ADB? If not I think I will just try and boot into recovery mode and reflash the phone using ODIN. Can someone please remind me which key confirms recovery mode... I forgot if it is volume up or down.
One piece of information I stumbled upon is this:
Will this do the backup like I am wanting?
Thanks a ton for the help and I apologize if this has been answered before.
