On Wednesday, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers announced a major new grant to fund training for lawyers who represent indigent defendants. That's no surprise. Providing good lawyers for defendants who can't afford counsel is a core mission for NACDL. But the source of the funding caused a bit of a stir: Koch Industries, the Kansas-based, privately held manufacturing conglomerate that is the source of the boundless wealth of Charles and David Koch. The Koch brothers, as you surely know, contribute so lavishly to Republican candidates and conservative causes that the Senate's Democratic majority leader, Harry Reid, has tagged them (via Talking Points Memo) "'un-American' plutocrats who 'have no conscience and are willing to lie' in order to 'rig the system' against the middle class."

Business groups swarm against federal agency rulemaking in SCOTUS case
When the bond market went crazy last week, bankers had an explanation: too much regulation. Sure, why not? If you're looking for a scapegoat, you can't go wrong with overregulation. It's like Starbucks, ubiquitous and convenient.
Pershing, Valeant: Allergan ignored Goldman advice to talk
One of the most interesting supporting actors in the Allergan takeover drama is Goldman Sachs, which is a financial adviser (along with BofA Merrill Lynch) to the Botox maker. Goldman is known for defending takeover targets, so it made sense when Allergan brought in the bank to help it fend off a joint hostile advance from the Canadian pharmaceutical company Valeant and the hedge fund Pershing Square.
New study defines top 5 firms in M&A class actions, says rep deserved
Professor Randall Thomas of Vanderbilt Law studies M&A class action litigation. To him, it's obvious that some plaintiffs' firms file these now ubiquitous suits simply to collect a so-called "deal tax" and others work the cases hard to win better terms for shareholders. Yet commentary on M&A class actions tends not to distinguish among shareholders' firms, he said. "It always bothered me that all plaintiffs' firms are painted with the same brush – they're either shareholder champions or scum of the earth," Thomas told me. "The reality is that there are big differences."
HP shareholder wants scrutiny of Wachtell role in controversial settlement
If you are the most profitable corporate law firm in recorded history, with a habit of loudly defending the business judgment of corporate boards, you have to expect to take more than your share of shots. Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz is the Goldman Sachs of the law biz: When someone claims the firm has done something wrong, it's news.
'Ascertainability' is no silver bullet in class action defense
I'll admit it: I was among the predictors of doom last year when a three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued its decision in Carrera v. Bayer. The Carrera decision, as you may recall, addressed the requirement that class membership be "ascertainable" in order for class actions to be certified. The facts of the case – a consumer class action claiming deceptive labeling of a Bayer diet supplement – were idiosyncratic, but the appellate holding that affidavits from purported purchasers aren't sufficient to ascertain class membership seemed broad indeed. Consumer class action advocates asked for en banc review, asserting a credible argument that the decision was a death knell for claims based on low-cost items for which purchasers don't save receipts. The 3rd Circuit declined to hear the case en banc, but in a dissent, four judges said they were worried that the Carrera decision went too far, giving rise to "fear that some wrongs will go unrighted because wrongdoers gamed the system."
Keep Eric Cantor out of terror-funding case: U.S. Congress, Bank of China
Who would ever have predicted that convicted al Qaeda operative Zacarias Moussaoui would be more eager to provide testimony to help terror victims than former Virginia congressman and House majority leader Eric Cantor? Moussaoui, as I told you yesterday, has contacted the federal district court in Brooklyn, offering to provide information about al Qaeda funding to plaintiffs suing Arab Bank and other financial institutions. Cantor, meanwhile, has been subpoenaed in a different terror-funding case – accusing Bank of China of financing Palestinian Islamic Jihad – to testify about his meeting in Israel with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in August 2013. On Sept. 30, the U.S. House of Representatives' general counsel moved to quash the subpoena.
Zacarias Moussaoui wants to testify on al Qaeda terror financing
Zacarias Moussaoui, who pleaded guilty in 2005 to conspiring in al Qaeda's Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, says he has information about how al Qaeda financed its operations and he wants to provide it to lawyers representing terrorism victims.
Sneaky new trend in IPOs: Make shareholders pay if they sue and lose
If you bought Alibaba shares last month when the Chinese mobile commerce company went public, you participated in the biggest-ever initial public offering. Alibaba raised $25 billion from investors when its shares began to trade on the New York Stock Exchange. Its price has dropped a bit from its record high of more than $99 on the first day of trading, but as of Thursday afternoon Alibaba was swinging back up toward $90 a share.
Allergan's latest tactic: block proxies tendered to Pershing
Is there any Allergan shareholder who isn't aware that William Ackman's hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital, and the Canadian pharmaceutical company Valeant slipped through a loophole in the securities laws when they teamed up on a hostile bid for the Botox maker? Or that Allergan believes the loophole is actually a violation of the law and Pershing is engaged in insider trading? If so, I'd like to know the name of the remote Pacific atoll where you've apparently been luxuriating without the Internet, newspapers and television for the past few months. This cleverly lawyered deal has been chronicled (including by me) with the sort of play-by-play analysis that's usually reserved for NFL playoff games or middle-school romances.

Star Spangled Banner on a Gun [VIDEO]

The second amendment isn't tearing this country apart, it is what makes our country so bad ass. Nothing says 'merica more than using a gun to perform the "Star Spangled Banner."

How big is your incision? My c-section HURT for a week and then hurt for two more weeks. My gall bladder HuRt for a couple days and then hurt for a week.Originally Posted by Yachtzee
Try to walk as much as you can around the house, it helps to work out the soreness. Really.
Hang in there, it will get better.

Thanks pedro, krono and creek. The good thing is that I had come back from Seattle a few days before. As much as I enjoyed Seattle, I can only imagine how much that would stink if I had gotten sick while still there.
I haven't been able to look at the incision yet. I'm a bit squeamish about checking it out. But from what I hear, it's pretty small compared to what they normally look like. I'm actually feeling pretty good right now, hopped up on vicotin and ibuprofin. I did discover that the walking around helps. It seems to hurt more after I've been sitting or laying down for a while.
Now if only I had MLB EI. I'm not allowed to go back to work until after my follow-up appointment next week. I guess I will have plenty of time to read "The Curse of Rocky Colavito" and the new Harry Potter my wife bought.
I had my appendix removed last summer and I hurt for about a week. I had the surgery on saturday and was only off work for a week, the next few days you will start to feel better just take it easy and take all the drugs they gave you.
I was in the ORG once, best 6 months of my life.
I have perhaps the worst appendectomy story ever.
Mine burst when I was a freshman in High School. I know I felt some pain at night, but I went to a Reds game the next day, and tried to pretend nothing was wrong. Of course, the burning, searing pain in my stomach, coupled with voilent vomiting convinced my mother that something was wrong.
Problem is, I waited eight hours in the emergency room before I could be operated on.
I ended up getting a really bad infection, and was hospitalized for over a month. They thought I was going to die.
A day before I was to go in for another operation, as the nurse was checking my incision (it's a monster, btw), a bunch of black stuff squirted from a penny sized hole in my stomach. I guess I passed a clot, or whatever, and I started feeling better almost immediately.
The day I was to be released, a bomb threat was called in to the hospital, so I had to stay until the whole mess was cleared up.
The daggone incision seeped for a month or so afterward, leaking out all of that bad stuff. It reeked, but I felt super lucky. I even made it back for summer league, and in my first AB, my dressing came off and that stuff soaked through onto my jersey.
Just like Roy Hobbs.
It was awesome.
I hit into a double play.

Yeah, I was wondering why I felt like I should head down to the stadium for some late night batting practice after surgery.Originally Posted by wheels
I was really lucky. I didn't have a terrible amount of pain, more just discomfort. The only reason I went to the doctor was that I was also having some nasty sinus problems on top of it all. My doctor was really on top of things and told me to get a CT scan "just in case."
I was also lucky that they were able to call around and get me in on a direct admit to the hospital, because they were able to get me a room and my surgeon met me on the way to the room. They said that it would have been an 8 hr. wait if I had gone through the emergency room, by which time my appendix could have burst.
I'm feeling much better today. I might see if I can't talk my wife into taking me to a ballgame this weekend.
Had mine out, and it probably took me a week to fully recover. The biggest problem I had was with my appetite. I couldn't eat much for a week, but that probably had more to do with the anesthesia. Good luck, you will be good as new.
I was lucky when I had mine out because I had not felt well for 3 days and the only reason why I went to the hospital was to shut my wife up. I remember telling her that she was going to feel pretty stupid when they tell me I have a pulled muscle and send me on my way, 4 hours later I was in surgery and the doctor said it was the largest appendix he had seen and it was ready to burst. He said it was the size of a softball. It was one of the rare occasions that I was happy I was married.

Sago Palm growing
I have a Sago Palm that has not been showing any signs of activity all summer long. I kept inside on a window sill that get morning and afternoon sun, and also i had a screen on the bottom part of the window, so I guess it got plenty of fresh air. For the past couple of days, the leaves have started to lower themselves and got a greenish-yellowish hew. Does this mean it's preparing to sprout new fronds? Or is something wrong with it?
It could be getting ready to jettison those fronds for a new flush, but over wet conditions is also a possibility. Had that happen with mine (in the ground) where part of the year it gets too much seepage. The old fronds all slowly yellowed but were replaced with a new flush. It would be far better off if I moved it to a better drained site with less risk of it rotting.

I even take these to worship practice and am able to practice while others are setting up or doing sound checks but still able to hear what is going on and know when everyone else is ready. The sound is good and love the way my bass sounds coming through these!

Date — 2 September, 2011
Schaffhausen, 1 September 2011 – Today, IWC Schaffhausen presents the Portuguese Sidérale Scafusia, the most exclusive and complicated watch ever created by IWC. After ten years of intensive research, the Swiss watch manufacturer has succeeded in combining solar time with sidereal time in a single watch. Around 80 journalists representing the international trade press gathered in Schaffhausen to be initiated into the mysteries of this complex timepiece.
Today at IWC headquarters in Schaffhausen, the world of watchmaking meets for the launch of a unique timepiece, the most complex ever created by IWC. "The Portuguese Sidérale Scafusia is a universal work of art and the result of ten years' research by a team of engineers, watchmakers and scientists," explains Georges Kern, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen. "They have succeeded in combining solar time and sidereal time on a single dial. From the front, this fascinating masterpiece is a classical Portuguese watch, from the reverse side an astronomical instrument and, on the inside, a milestone in the art of Haute Horlogerie." But perhaps even more fascinating than the number and combination of the complications is the notion that every single watch is unmistakably unique. The patented constant-force tourbillon is the most conspicuous feature.
The tiny space on the reverse side accommodates a celestial chart, horizon, geographical coordinates, solar time, sidereal time, sunrise and sunset display as well as a display showing daytime, night-time and twilight. Also not to be forgotten is a completely integrated perpetual calendar behind the display showing the number of the day. The Portuguese Sidérale Scafusia combines the romanticism of the night sky with science at the cutting edge, while combining complex watchmaking technology with unbelievably simple operation and a craftsman's love of detail with forward-thinking vision. For all its precision and attention to detail, the Portuguese Sidérale Scafusia watch is eminently suitable for everyday use: it is waterresistant to 3 bar and, considering that the mechanism is so delicate, astonishingly impervious to schocks.

full marigold blooms-snapped off??
I have large yell-org marigd. plants that SOMETHING seems to be literally snapping off the big blooms- blooms lay at side of plant, but nothing else has eaten the plant or the bloom- I see no chew marks, It looks clean, like a human took scissors to it (I have no neighbors around that would be doing this) Ive looked at other comments and I cant see slug trails, rabbits??? How can I stop this??
I have had that happen to marigolds, too. I finally caught the culprit in the act, it was a bird. I think it was was in the swallow family. It 'snipped' the flower with it's beak, tried to pick it up, couldn't, and moved to the next flower.
My neighbors must of thought I was crazy for a while. Whenever I saw that stupid bird I would burst out of my house and chase it away. It finally got the message and didn't return (but it took about a week to do so).

MOSCOW -- Lukoil, Russia's second largest oil producer, has proposed investing $2.7 billion in geological survey work on Russia's Arctic shelf, Interfax cited a company spokesman as saying.
The company sent applications to the government at the start of October expressing readiness to carry out surveys at four license sectors in the Laptev, East Siberian and Chukchi Seas, Intefax reported.
Under current legislation, only two state controlled companies Rosneft and Gazprom are allowed to own offshore licenses and other companies can enter projects as partners with them. Lukoil and other non state companies have petitioned the government for access to offshore deposits. The government is currently reworking its shelf development program.

it's fast, but not really worth the money. every native speaker can do this for me within 20 minutes. i need a experienced PS writer to give some thought.

I am very satisfied with Proofreading Pal and have been using your service for years. Since I am dyslexic I could not survive without Proofreading Pal.
The only unknown is who will do the proofreading. Different proofreaders have different styles that I can detect. This does not affect the accuracy, only the method of feedback. For example, most of what I do is creative writing and the style and tone of what I write changes from piece to piece. Some proofreaders hold the hard line and make direct changes, while others stand back and only comment when there is a question. No matter what, they would never be able to set the meter exactly where I want it for any given piece, but i probably would want a more stand back approach. Especially with dialog.
That issue is minor in the larger scope of things. I have never hesitated to recommend your service; it good, professional, reliable, accurate, fast and otherwise great.

Not to toot my own horn, but I'm a FABULOUS writer. Writing has always been my passion and my clear talent. HOWEVER, for college level classes, professors expect your papers to be edited a certain way. And there, my friends, is where I struggled. I spent HOURS trying to make sure my papers were edited correctly and still, I lost lots of points because I never edited my papers correctly.
I used ProofreadingPal and not only had my papers edited correctly according to the style my professor preferred, but the editors also gave me some insight on how to improve my paper in other ways and I am so grateful.
ProofreadingPal isn't jut for people who don't know how to write a paper. This is an awesome service for help in editing what may already be great work!

I'm using the service regularly. Always get satisfactory experience! One small suggestion is that I think you should keep the 2-week turn around service (I remember there was a 2-week turn around but now it disappeared ...) It is helpful if I want to proofread longer paper...

Cynthia and Heather did an outstanding job with the edits. Heather was especially helpful with comments and suggestions for content changes. I implemented most of them.
My only disappointment was when Heather decided to create a gender neutral, politically correct word. She changed "fireman's carry" to "firefighter's carry." I tried to find the definition of firefighter's carry, it is not a word. The correct term is fireman's carry.

Struggling to find his command in the first inning, Gov. Thomas Johnson High School starting pitcher Travis Phelps found himself in a most precarious position -- the bases were loaded with Damascus left-hander Eric Magas stepping to the plate with two out.
Then as if a switch was suddenly flipped, Phelps found the strike zone, resulting in a strikeout looking of Magas on an inside fastball. It followed a flurry of pitches on the outside corner to end the inning in what was a handful of pivotal plays the host Patriots made in a 5-2 win against the Swarming Hornets in a first-round 3A West Region playoff game Friday.
"I felt tight at first but throughout the game, I started loosening up, and then I finally started finding the strike zone," said Phelps, who allowed two unearned runs on six hits (four of which did not get out of the infield) in seven innings of work with six strikeouts. "It definitely helps [having a lead most of the way] -- Just go in there and throw fastballs for strikes and everything worked out."
Indeed it did as the Patriots (12-8), who will now face fourth-seeded Seneca Valley (9-5) Monday in a quarterfinal contest, grabbed the lead for good at 3-1 with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth. A run-scoring single by Heath Dahlgren and an error in left field brought home the second run of the inning.
They increased that lead to 4-1 in the fifth on a triple to right field by catcher Mike Omelchenko, who also blasted a two-out double in the first inning that eventually resulted in the team's first run of the game. His shot in the fifth inning reached the right field wall and looked headed for the grass behind the fence off his bat.
"He was just throwing fastballs; I was just trying to keep my weight back on it and just hit it good and hope something happens," Omelchenko said. "Halfway down first base, I kind of looked at it and thought it was gone. My coach said I slowed up a little there so I kind of got in trouble. I just tried to hit it good and it went pretty far."
The Patriots struck again with a run in the sixth when Damascus shortstop Emory McMinn, with the infield drawn in, could not cleanly handle a hard groundball off the bat of David Larson to score Matt Myers from third. That run countered one scored by Damascus in the top of the sixth inning in a rally that was cut short by a leaping grab of a hard line drive at third base by Vaughn Parker with runners on first and third and two out.
"They made all the plays," said Swarming Hornets first-year coach Greg Blake, who guided his squad to a 7-9 this spring. "The third baseman made a heck of a play at third. It was huge. Leadoff hitter with a line drive down the [opposite field], you probably get a guy on third base, maybe second and third. Two outs with my two hitter [coming up], who I think already had a hit or two."
Instead, Phelps worked a 1-2-3 seventh inning to preserve the victory. He allowed one run in the third on a wild pitch and then one in the sixth on an infield single by Cameron Frazier to score Lewis, who reached base on an error to start the inning.
"You have to give their pitcher a lot of credit," Blake said. "All year, we've struggled against that type of pitcher: Bringing a little heat with an off-speed pitch. That's why you saw a lot of bunts today, a lot of small ball."

Sneak peek of some new stuff I've been working on in the Southpaw trailer. World premiere!From acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) and starring Academy Award® nominated Jake Gyllenhaal (NIGHTCRAWLER, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN) comes a story of tragedy, loss and the painful road to redemption… Billy "The Great" Hope (Gyllenhaal) is the reigning Junior Middleweight Champion whose unorthodox stance, the so-called "Southpaw, " consists of an ineloquent, though brutal, display of offensive fighting…one fueled by his own feelings of inadequacy and a desperate need for love, money and fame. With a beautiful family, home and financial security, Billy is on top both in and out of the ring until a tragic accident leaves his wife dead and sends him into a downward spiral. His days now an endless haze of alcohol and prescription drugs, his daughter taken by Child Services and his home repossessed by the bank, Billy's fate is all but sealed until a washed up former boxer named Tick agrees to take the bereaved pugilist under his wing so long as he agrees to his strict ethos. Relentless and utterly committed to a fighter that thinks as much as he throws punches, Tick rebuilds Billy into a new man: one that is agile, fearsome and uncompromising in the ring while thoughtful, loving and disciplined outside of it. Now, as he works to regain custody of his daughter and mounts a professional comeback, Billy must face his demons head-on as he learns that, sometimes, your greatest opponent can be yourself.http://eminem.comhttp://facebook.com/eminemhttp://twitter.com/eminemhttp://instagram.com/eminemhttp://eminem.tumblr.comhttp://shadyrecords.comhttp://facebook.com/shadyrecordshttp://twitter.com/shadyrecordshttp://instagram.com/shadyrecordshttp://trustshady.tumblr.com

The ACC sponsors competition in twenty-five sports with many of its member institutions' athletic programs held in high regard nationally. ACC teams and athletes have claimed dozens of national championships in multiple sports throughout the conference's history. Generally, the ACC's top athletes and teams in any particular sport in a given year are considered to be among the top collegiate competitors in the nation. The ACC is considered to be one of the six collegiate power conferences, all of which enjoy extensive media coverage and automatic qualifying for their football champion into the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). With the advent of the College Football Playoff in 2014, the ACC will be one of five conferences with a contractual tie-in to an «access bowl», the successors to the BCS. Founded in 1953 in Greensboro, North Carolina, by seven universities located in the South Atlantic States, the conference added additional members in late 1953, 1979, 1991, 2004, and 2013. The 2004 and 2013 additions extended the conference's footprint into the Northeast and Midwest. The most recent expansion in 2013 saw the additions of the University of Notre Dame, the University of Pittsburgh, and Syracuse University. In 2012, the University of Maryland's Board of Regents voted to withdraw from the ACC to join the Big Ten Conference.

The texture to this curtain is so beautiful and it's not as delicate as it looks. We have it in our master bedroom. It does let in a lot of light so you will need black out curtains or a shade behind it if you like it dark. I highly recommend it as it adds a decorative element without being too loud.

Not 'NIB' anymore (like myself)...but two early (Duromatic) McCoy ´stunt´engines.
.19 and .29
Nice honest work horses with twin ringed baffled pistons.
Rumours says that the later McCoys weren't that good, although I haven't compared this myself..

I really like all the info and articles i can get about the 'Lee' engines, thanks!
Always like to read additional information and history about engines we collect, and others to.
That's also an important part of the fun in collecting engines, beside making new friends.
You have great information about engines, let's keep it coming!
I like Your Enya .63 Typhoon!

Very stylish...!
Also, the speed-control sheets are lovely...in these days of electronics, we need this less abstract technology to rest our eyes and brains on.....
I find it inspiring...not in the sense of bringing mankind further, but to enhance the quality of life...

OK guys, what we need here is for all you collectors out there to start pooling their accumulated knowledge - all those little helpful tips which we have gathered over the years, in tinkering with model engines. To kick off, here's some stuff I use - the ONLY screwdriver which touches my precious ENYA's is the one shown, a Fuller. With the #2 bit fitted, this is the only screwdriver I have found that can loosen & tighten ENYA screws without marking them in any way. Note though, how the "ears" are carefully ground off near the point, otherwise they will "catch" or foul some head fins (ie. bend them). The other gadget shown with the driver is just a faster way to install / remove glow plugs. The engine with a lump of wood sticking out the back is how I remove most screw-in type backplates. Just select a piece of an old broom handle or whatever, and carefully grind it down (with a taper) until the end will just fit in the backplate - tap it all the way in, and clamp the wood in a vise. Other photo's show a selection of different size (1/4 in. drive) sockets, mainly used for removing needle valve assemblies. With my little 4" adjustable wrench on the other end, it makes the job easy ! Obviously though, all these sockets have to be ground down carefully - I just do 'em by hand. Hands up all those guys who used to use long nose pliers to remove NVA's ! BOB
PS note how I cunningly removed the compression adjuster from the AMCO to give the impression of it being a glow !

Here is my basic gasket making kit. The most important item is the nylon, kitchen chopping board ! This is because the point of the circle cutter will gradually dig deeper and wider into a wooden surface, with the end result you have an out of round circle. The nail scissors have curved blades for cutting complex shapes, and I only use the pen re-fill so as to mark more accurate bolt holes, and the outside shape of the engine part. The circle cutter can be purchased for $12 - $15 at any craft or sewing shop, and if using the nylon board, the cutter can be held stationary (or only moved 75 degrees or so of wrist movement), whilst the board & work are rotated.
A couple of more tips - sometimes (if you're a perfectionist like me) its takes a while before you find the exact setting on the circle cutter. So rather than waste the actual gasket material, make practice cuts on thin paper until you get the perfectly sized circle for your backplate or whatever. If the outside perimeter line of your gasket is a complex shape (ie. not perfectly round), you will find it easier to cut out accurately with the curved scissors if you first go round the shape making a cut about 1mm outside the traced shape. Also, as the traced shape will be slightly larger than the actual backplate, the final cut should be made just inside the line. BOB

Tools, Tips & Techniques
Have you ever wanted to remove the front housing from an ENYA or a bolt-on backplate from another engine - without wrecking the gasket, that is ? Here's the way to do it - slacken off all the retaining bolts about a millimeter, but do not remove them completely. Pour a small amount of acetone into a nylon container, and using a brush or old toothbrush, paint around the gasket with the fluid. Most gaskets will come away from one of the surfaces in 5 minutes or less, and by leaving the bolts in whilst you do this, you won't damage the gasket if the surfaces suddenly come apart whilst a portion of the gasket is still stuck. If the two surfaces are stubborn and remain stuck together after several minutes of soaking in acetone, try this. Immerse the whole engine (with the glow plug removed) in a container filled with acetone, making sure that the withholding bolts are still as in the photo below. If you have bolted on a nylon propeller stub, you can "rock" the crankshaft back and forth with the crankcase filled with liquid. As you twist the shaft to the right, the piston coming down will compress the fluid in the case and the pressure should "pop" the backplate off. BOB

The Quick and Dirty Personality Test
Their result for The Quick and Dirty Personality Test ...
ISTJ - The Inspector
Your Type is 40% Extroverted, 75% Observant, 94% Logical and 50% Structured
As a romantic partner, you are dependable and predictable. You usually like things done in very specific ways. You tend to appreciate tradition, and you work hard to achieve goals. You have trouble sharing your feelings, though. In your eagerness to be organized and productive, you can also be unwilling to examine or embrace alternative points of view. You like to be appreciated for your practical contributions, your common sense, and the efforts you make to keep your life on track. You like to be thanked often, both informally and formally and are most likely to be upset when your partner forgets a tradition you hold dear, such as an anniversary.

Upon arrive I was asked for a $400 authorisation on my credit card or in cash for a 4 night stay. First I was told of this despite a booking on phone with Venere and speaking with hotel directly. As I didn't have the full amount (I needed the money for use on our holiday) housekeeping was at our door within minutes of going to our room to lock the mini bar. So we had no access to a fridge to keep our water or snacks cool. I might add it took several days and a couple of phone calls to have the authorisation on my credit card lifted after checking out. Despite the room being booked for 3 people, when our room was service daily we were only given 2 towels. Upon checking in I requested 3 and EVERYDAY I had to request a 3rd. The pool, gym, spa and sauna close at 10pm daily......why? More convenient to us if open 24hrs or at least a little later. Very ordinary experience for the amount I paid, disappointed.
