Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Nikko San Francisco
excellent hotel and perfect service(there if you need it but not over bearing and in your face) great location around union square and nicely appointed rooms.
Convenient, friendly-staffed but small
While the lobby is ultra-modern and impressive and the staff friendly and courteous, the room was small. There was very little room to move around. If you're alone this may be ok, but with a second person this is a little cramped.
It is conveniently located near Market Street (the main trolley lines are here). Parking is valet. A call down from the room before leaving was enough to make sure the car was there.
We ordered room service one night and wasn't overly impressed with the food. It was both cold and bland. Perhaps a walk down to the lobby would prove differently.
Overall, it was a nice hotel and a good value for the location. I'd say it was ok. For a good price and if needing somewhere to simply rest your head this works fine.
Great Value for money
We stayed at the nikko from 12/9 for 3 nights on a cheap deal booked with expedia at $118 a night. For this we got a king size bed in a deluxe room on the 19th floor with views of the bay and CD and radio player, fridge, large room and large bathroom with both shower and separate bath. It was quiet and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Union square is only 2 blocks or a 5 minute walk and the BART station at Powell street 10 minute walk away. Ideal and at a great price. Friends stayed at the Monaco hotel for 50% more and got a small room and a chinzy design which was worse in my opinion. At least the nikko was contempary.
Beware.... read this first!!!!
Ok so we go to check into the hotel the lobby was beautiful, but don't we go up to our room, the hallway smelled, and the room( deluxe king) was tiny, it was just a bit bigger than a closet in my apt. My mother and I wanted to leave as soon as we went upstairs, but my father and boyfriend wanted to stay. It gets worse!! The second morning we were there we were woken up to the hotels alarm systemat 8:30 am telling us there was a power outage and the elevators are not working, what they failed to tell us, is that they were also having plumbing problems and the water was yellow. I found this out when i went to go take a shower.
We were totally inconvienced we were trapped in the hotel for about an hour my parents are older so walking down 18 flights was out of the question. We all agreed that was it, it was time for us to go. I made a couple of calls and luckily the Hyatt Regency, where we were origingillay going to stay( which we should have) has availability. I had told the manager there about our inconvience at the nikko and he did everything he could to get us a room right away, they were very accomidating. Luckily we were able to get out of the remaining 2 nights at the nikko to my suprise the nikko was very apoligetic and there was no problem. To make a long story short stay clear of the nikko, if you have never been to san francisco before like myself you should know location is everything and this hotel in not located in the prime area 2 blocks from union square makes a big difference if your looking to stay in that area try the westin, sir francis drake, the monaco but i suggest staying in the embarcadero, it is beautiful, clean and has great views 2 blocks from the water. The embarcadero is what san francisco is all about!!!! Good Luck and have a great trip!!!!
Gr8 hotel

The Best Food in San Francisco!
We visit San Francisco regularly and always visit the Nikko hotel and ANZU Restaurant. The menu is creative and delicious. The wild mushroom bread pudding is worth the airfare alone! The prime beef is the best we have ever had and the sushi is amazing. Make sure to put this spot on your itinerary!
Stinko Nikko
I got what I thought was a great rate off the internet ($147/night), but I guess you get what you pay for; Very small room, Motel 6 quality, smelly, totally disappointing! Nothing like their website; marble baths, etc. We didn't stay. We told them we didn't like it and wanted to leave. No problem. Go. Didn't even attempt to upgrade. We ended up having a wonderful vacation by staying at the Beresford Arms.
Great Stay!!
I enjoyed a very nice stay at the Nikko Hotel. I wanted a little luxury at a fair price and that's what I got. The staff was very accomodationg. The bellhops and housekeeping staff were especially generous and friendly. I was very pleased with the indoor pool and jacuzzi. I know that such amenities can be rare in San Francisco hotels and it is a nice touch. The hotel is in an excellent location, right near Union Square. I would definitely stay at the Nikko again. Oh yes, I almost forgot...I loved the separate bath and shower!
A fantastic hotel. Great service!
After reading other reviews, I decided that Hotel Nikko would not be the typical stuffy hotel. (Also, their ads are great!) I was right. We were overhwelmed by their soaring marble lobby, with incredible contemporary art everywhere. Our room was spacious and comfortable and we had a terrific view. The staff was great. We had a couple hours to spare our first day, and the concierge planned a little walking tour for us around Union Square. Our first night, we had dinner at their restaurant, Anzu. The food was so outstanding that we returned on our last night as well. Our only disappointment was that we couldn't get a reservation at the sushi bar. It's supposed to be the best in the city, and it is not easy to get a seat. We will be back in San Francisco this October and you can be sure we'll return to Hotel Nikko.
Bland, Small, Staid
We were surprised that a hotel that got rave reviews was so impersonal, boring and bland.
The room we were given was so small we could hardly squeeze our way in. To their credit they switched our rook to a bigger one hen we asked, but it was still nothing great. Their was nothing special about the hotel and their pool/jacuzzi area was SEVERLY lacking. And if are not a person with children, beware, they are everywhere here.
Overall, a HUGE dissapointment! If you want a nice SF holiday, try somewhere else.

Cons: the smell and homelessness. Pros: everything else. We are 3 days into our 8 days in California.

Larry R. Patterson,
Circuit Court Judge
Opinion No.
Heard December 9,
1999 - Filed July 17, 2000
James M. Griffin, of Simmons, Griffin & Lydon, of Columbia, for appellant.
Attorney General Charles M. Condon; Chief Jonathan E. Ozmint and Assistant Attorney Generals Anne Hunter Young and John P. Riordan, all of the State Grand Jury, of Columbia, for respondent.
HOWARD, J.: In this State Grand Jury prosecution, Juan Carlos Vasquez was convicted of conspiracy to traffic in 400 or more grams of cocaine in violation of S.C. Code Ann. § 44-53-370(e)(2)(e) (Supp. 1999) and sentenced to thirty years imprisonment and a $200,000 fine. On appeal, Vasquez contends the trial court erred in limiting cross-examination of the State's witness; denying his motion for directed verdict; denying a severance; and sentencing him to an illegal, excessive sentence. We affirm.
The prosecution of Vasquez and twenty-five co-defendants was the culmination of a two year State Grand Jury (SGJ) investigation. The investigation began in August 1993, when police arrested Michael Greer on a cocaine charge and executed a search warrant at his residence. Over the next two years, police followed the chain of Greer's suppliers, continuing to make purchases and turn those arrested into cooperating informants.
The investigation eventually led to O'Bryant (O.B.) Harris. The officers arrested O.B. on August 31, 1996, after they observed a transaction involving an undercover drug payment of $115,000. Once arrested, Harris cooperated, identifying Jose Gustavo Castineira as his source. Officers arranged an undercover payoff to Castineira for cocaine previously supplied on September 1, 1996. Castineira and Vasquez, both Cuban residents of Miami, arrived in a Mercedes Benz driven by Castineira. After a brief (recorded) conversation in which Castineira discussed a large cocaine deal, Castineira placed the money in his vehicle. Castineira and Vasquez were then arrested.
On October 8, 1996, the SGJ indicted twenty-six defendants for conspiracy to traffic in 400 or more grams of cocaine pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. § 44-53-370(e)(2)(e) (Supp. 1999). Eighteen defendants pled guilty; and the remaining eight were tried together during a two-week period in late April - early May 1997, including Vasquez. The trial court denied Vasquez's motion for severance.
At the close of the State's case, Vasquez moved to dismiss the indictment, arguing there was a material variance between the conspiracy alleged in the indictment and the multiple conspiracies proved by the State at trial. He also moved for a directed verdict on the following grounds: (1) there was no evidence showing he was involved in the single conspiracy alleged; (2) his mere presence at the garage meeting did not indicate he was a co-conspirator; and (3) he could not be convicted based on the transaction at the garage because it is impossible to conspire with government agents. The trial court denied these motions. Vasquez renewed all his motions at the close of the defense and again, the trial court denied each one. The jury convicted Vasquez of conspiracy to traffic in 400 or more grams of cocaine and the trial court sentenced him to thirty years imprisonment and a $200,000 fine.
I. Whether the trial court erred in prohibiting the cross-examination of the State's witness on the witness's understanding of his plea agreement?
II. Whether the trial court erred in denying Vasquez's motion for a directed verdict because the State's evidence failed to establish that Vasquez was a member of the conspiracy alleged in the indictment?
III. Whether the trial court erred in denying Vasquez's motion for a severance?
IV. Whether the trial court erred in sentencing Vasquez to a 30 year sentence and fine of $200,000 because it exceeded the maximum allowable sentence for conspiracy under S.C. Code Ann. § 44-53-420 (1985)?
This identical issue was raise and ruled upon by this Court in State v. Castineira, Op. No. 3216 (S.C. Ct. App. filed July 17, 2000) (Shearouse Adv. Sh. No. 29 at 40. For the reasons set forth in that opinion, we find this argument to be without merit.
Vasquez next argues the trial court erred in denying his motion for directed verdict because the evidence was insufficient to obtain a conviction. We disagree.
In considering a motion for directed verdict, a trial court is concerned only with the existence or non-existence of evidence, not its weight. See State v. Kelsey, 331 S.C. 50, 502 S.E.2d 63 (1998); State v. Williams, 303 S.C. 274, 400 S.E.2d 131 (1991). Therefore, in reviewing the denial of a directed verdict motion, this Court must view the evidence in the light most favorable to the State and affirm "if there is any direct evidence or any substantial circumstantial evidence reasonably tending to prove the guilt of the accused. . . ." State v. Cooper, 334 S.C. 540, 551-52, 514 S.E.2d 584, 590 (1999) (citing State v. Kelsey, 331 S.C. 50, 502 S.E.2d 63 (1998)).
The indictment alleges a single conspiracy among at least twenty-six individuals to traffic in more than 400 grams of cocaine in Greenville and Spartanburg Counties, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia ("The Castineira Conspiracy"). We hold there was sufficient evidence to submit to the jury the conspiracy charges against Vasquez for his involvement in the Castineira Conspiracy.
A conspiracy is "a combination or agreement between two or more persons for the purpose of accomplishing a criminal or unlawful object. . . ." State v. Gunn, 313 S.C. 124, 133-34, 437 S.E.2d 75, 80 (1993), cert. denied, 510 U.S. 1115 (citing State v. Ameker, 73 S.C. 330, 53 S.E. 484 (1906)); see also S.C. Code Ann. § 16-17-410 (Supp. 1999); State v. Wilson, 315 S.C. 289, 433 S.E.2d 864 (1993). The gravamen of conspiracy is the agreement or mutual understanding. Gunn, 313 S.C. at 134, 437 S.E.2d at 80; Wilson, 315 S.C. at 294, 433 S.E.2d at 868 (emphasis added). Therefore, we focus here on the sufficiency of the agreement between alleged conspirators. As our supreme court has said:
What is required is a shared, single criminal objective, not just similar or parallel objectives between similarly situated people . . . . It is not enough that a group of people separately intend to distribute drugs in a single area, nor enough that their activities occasionally or sporadically place them in contact with each other. People in the same industry in the same locale (even competitors) can occasionally be expected to interact with each other without thereby becoming coconspirators. What is needed is proof they intended to act together for their shared mutual benefit within the scope of the conspiracy charged.
Gunn, 313 S.C. at 134, 437 S.E.2d at 80-81 (citation omitted).
Our review of the sufficiency of the evidence must be viewed in the light most favorable to the State. State v. Sullivan, 277 S.C. 35, 282 S.E.2d 838 (1981). However, we must exercise caution to ensure proof is not obtained "by piling inference upon inference." Gunn, 313 S.C. at 134, 437 S.E.2d at 81 (citation omitted).
The record reflects the following
evidence against Vasquez. It is undisputed that Vasquez accompanied Castineira
to the meeting arranged at Harris Brothers' Garage. Despite O.B. Harris's assertion
that Vasquez did not say anything during the transaction, O.B. Harris testified
that he first met Vasquez in 1992 or 1993, when Castineira introduced them. Thereafter,
O.B. Harris saw Vasquez regularly when he was "delivering the merchandise with
[Castineira]." O.B. further stated Vasquez delivered cocaine for Castineira and
picked up money for him from cocaine transactions. In essence, Vasquez was described
as a "mule" who would carry the cocaine or pick up the money for Castineira. For
example, O.B. Harris stated, "[Castineira] would not ride with [Vasquez]. [Castineira]
would follow him in another vehicle . . . [or] would fly to Atlanta and someone
would pick him up from the airport."(1)
O.B. Harris also related
that Castineira and Vasquez stayed at the "stash house" owned by O.B.'s "close
lady friend" whenever they were in town, using it to rest, count money, make
phone calls, and store drugs. Castineira had both a key and a garage door opener
for the stash house. Finally, O.B. testified he received three to five kilos
a week from Castineira and that he saw Vasquez in connection with the delivery
of the cocaine or the money "mostly on every occasion."
The evidence presented at
trial of Vasquez's involvement in the Castineira Conspiracy was substantial,
and clearly sufficient to justify sending the case to the jury.
Vasquez also argues there
is a material variance between the conspiracy alleged and the conspiracy for
which he was convicted. In particular he asserts he was not part of the conspiracy
alleged because no evidence tied him to "23 of the 25 named defendants." Even
if correct, however, this argument fails. "Once a conspiracy has been established,
evidence establishing beyond a reasonable doubt the connection of a defendant
to the conspiracy, even though the connection is slight, is sufficient to convict
him with knowing participation in the conspiracy." State v. Horne, 324
S.C. 372, 382, 478 S.E.2d 289, 294 (Ct. App. 1996) (citing State v. Sullivan,
277 S.C. 35, 282 S.E.2d 838 (1981)). Further, "the acts and declarations of
any conspirator made during the conspiracy and in furtherance thereof are deemed
to be the acts and declarations of every other conspirator and are admissible
against all." Id. (quoting Sullivan, 277 S.C. at 42, 282 S.E.2d
at 842). Vasquez was undeniably intertwined in the Castineira Conspiracy and
the evidence of this was sufficient to send the case to the jury.
Third, Vasquez argues the
trial court erred in denying his motion for severance. Vasquez's argument as
to severance is identical to that raised and ruled upon by this Court in State
v. Castineira, Op. No. 3216 (S.C. Ct. App. filed July 17, 2000) (Shearouse
Adv. Sh. No. 29 at 40. For the reasons set forth in that opinion, we find this
argument to be without merit.
Vasquez's final issue is
identical to that raised and ruled upon by this court in State v. Castineira,
Op. No. 3216 (S.C. Ct. App. filed July 17, 2000) (Shearouse Adv. Sh. No. 29
at 40. For the reasons set forth in that opinion, we find this argument to be
without merit.
For the reasons set forth
in this opinion, Vasquez's conviction and sentence are
CURETON and HUFF,
JJ., concur.
1. At trial a witness translated part of the surveillance video, wherein Castineira leaned over to Vasquez and said, "I meet you at the hotel with the car."

DATE – JUNE 4, 2010 DO SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD DECISION Docket No. FD 35302 BELL OIL TERMINAL, INC. v. BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY Decided: June
3, 2010 This decision holds the proceeding in abeyance while the
parties mediate a dispute over a switch connection request. On October 6, 2009, Bell Oil Terminal, Inc. (Bell Oil),
filed a complaint against BNSF Railway Company (BNSF), alleging that BNSF has
violated 49 U.S.C. § 11103 by failing to construct, maintain, and operate
a switch connection between BNSF's rail line and a private side track to be
constructed by Bell Oil at its Pulaski Terminal in Chicago, Ill., and asking
the Board to require BNSF to do so. On
October 26, 2009, BNSF separately filed an answer and a motion to dismiss
the complaint, alleging that Bell Oil's complaint is premature. On May
19, 2010, Bell Oil and BNSF jointly filed a request that the Board mediate this
dispute and issue a 60-day "housekeeping" stay to permit the Board-supervised
mediation. The Board's regulations
provide for the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including
mediation, in cases such as this upon the mutual consent of the parties. See 49 C.F.R. § 1109.1. Because the parties jointly have consented to
mediation in writing, the Board will provide for a 60-day period for
non-binding mediation, and will designate a staff member to serve as
mediator. The proceeding will be held in
abeyance for 60 days while the parties pursue a mediated agreement.[1] Within
5 business days of the effective date of this decision, the mediator shall
contact the parties to discuss ground rules and the time and location of any
meetings. At least 1 principal of each
party, who has the authority to commit that party, shall participate in the
mediation and be present at any session at which the mediator requests that the
principal be present. The parties are
instructed to inform the Board when mediation has ended, with or without a
resolution. The
parties are expected to work together to develop an appropriate confidentiality
agreement and, if necessary, request that a protective order be issued by the
Board. This action will not
significantly affect either the quality of the human environment or the
conservation of energy resources. It is ordered: 1. Mediation is ordered as described above. A member of the Board staff will be designated
to serve as mediator pursuant to the instructions set forth above. 2. The proceeding is held in abeyance for 60
days while ADR procedures are ongoing. 3.
This decision is effective on its date of service. By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of
Proceedings. [1] A request from Bell Oil to hold the complaint in abeyance pending the disposition of the motion to dismiss currently is pending before the Board. It will be considered in a subsequent decision, if necessary. |

Rihanna has donated $1.75 million to a Barbados hospital in memory of her late grandmother Dolly. The Diamond singer was devastated when her beloved granny Clara 'Dolly' Braithwaite lost her cancer battle in June 2012 and visited the radiotherapy department at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown, which is to be renamed the Clara Braithwaite Centre for Oncology and Nuclear Medicine, on Saturday with her mother Monica Fenty and Dolly's husband Lionel to make the generous donation.
She told E! News "This was my way of giving back to Barbados, in a form of philanthropy, by assisting the QEH in its continued modernisation programme…I believe that this will have a huge impact on the people of Barbados. This was all done to save lives or at least extend them."
Rihanna spent Christmas in her native Barbados with her family and was recently spotted supporting local businesses by picking up trinkets in a number of small shops on the Caribbean island. The Barbados native was mobbed by locals as she browsed boutiques in Bridgetown.

Once More I Put My Bonnet On - Poem by Joseph Howe
Once more I put my bonnet on,
And tie the ribbons blue,
My showy poplin dress I don,
That's just as good as new,
And smooth and stately as a swan
Go sailing to my pew.
Once more, Ah! me, how oft, how oft,
Shall I the scene repeat?
With graceful ease and manner soft
I sink into my seat,
And round the congregation waft
The sense of odors sweet.
A finer form, a fairer face
Ne'er bent before the stole,
With more restraint, no spotless lace
Did firmer orbs control,
I shine, the Beauty of the place,
And yet I look all soul.
When to the sinful people round
My pitying glances rove
The dewy tints of Heaven's profound
Seem in my eyes to move,
Too sorrowful their hearts to wound,
And hardly asking love.
And thus for four long years I've sat,
My gloves without a crease,
For two of them I wore a hat,
For one a blue pelisse,
When will the wicked know what's what,
The weary heart have peace?
My head gear twenty times I've changed,
Worn Paris flowers in Spring,
Wheat ears in Autumn, re-arranged,
Tried birds of every wing,
Bade that from Paradise estranged
Its lustre o'er me fling.
But yet, as "nether millstones" hard
The hearts of men appear,
Smooth shaved, "or bearded like the pard"
They're worse from year to year.
My "virtue is its own reward,"
I'm sitting single here.
The Rector's eyes, a brilliant pair,
Lit up with love divine,
Beaming with inspiration rare,
And phrenzy very fine,
Like nestling birds from upper air,
Would gently droop to mine.
What could I think, as day by day
His gaze more earnest grew,
Till half the girls began to say
He neither cared nor knew,
Though all the Church should go astray
If he could save my pew.
I read divinity by reams,
The Bible got by heart,
I studied all the Church's "Schemes,"
Prepared to play my part
Of Rector's wife, as well beseems
A lady of high Art.
But, let the truth at once be told,
Religion's cause was nought,
For Twenty Thousand Pounds in gold
The Rector's heart was bought,
And I was most completely sold,
The Blackbird was not caught.
The Curate's hair was crisp and brown,
His color very high;
His ample chest came sloping down,
Antinous-like his thigh,
Sin shrank before his gathered frown,
Peace whispered in his sigh.
So young! I hoped his steps to guide
From error's devious way;
By bad example sorely tried,
I feared the youth might stray;
To life's allurements opening wide
Become an easy prey.
I did my best, I watched and prayed,
His ardent soul to save,
But by the sinful flesh betrayed,
What could I do but rave?
Ten stone of blonde, in lace arrayed
Walked with him down the nave.
If Gospel truth must now be told
I've selfish grown of late,
The Banker next though somewhat old,
And limping in his gait,
And quite as yellow as his gold,
I thought to animate.
I'm sure my Note he would have "done"
With "two good names" upon it;
I do not think he ever run
His eye glass o'er my sonnet,
Or counted, in the morning sun
The feathers in my bonnet.
The widowed Judge I next essayed,
His orphans kindly viewing,
Read Blackstone nearly through 'tis said,
All gaudy dress eschewing;
But, am I doomed to die a maid?
Not yet he comes a wooing.
Once more I'll put my bonnet on
And tie the ribbons blue;
My showy poplin dress I'll don,
That's just as good as new,
And smooth and stately as a swan
Go sailing to my pew.
Merchants and Lawyers, half a score,
Bow on their hats to pray,
Tho' scattered round, I'm very sure
They always look my way.
I'll re-appear, encore! encore!
Who shall I catch to-day?

Where does one obtain the discount books that are mentioned in some of the answers. Would one suggestion a four day or three day vacation in SanAntonio if one is tight on financial resources? Is there enough to do in four days for a couple with no children with them. It appears a lot of "children" activities are listed on websites. What are the best "commercial tours" ones that a couple should NOT miss. Thanks for the information/guidance.

I was in San Antonio for one night a few years ago and can't say I was that impressed. The RiverWalk was nice and all, but it all felt a bit staged. And I agree that many of the attractions are geared to families. Not sure where you're based, but Austin might be a bit more lively for a two-, three-night stay.

Trenčín (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈtrɛntʃiːn] ( listen); German: Trentschin; Hungarian: Trencsén) is a city in western Slovakia of the central Váh River valley near the Czech border, around 120 km (75 mi) from Bratislava. It has a population of more than 56,000, which makes it the ninth largest municipality of the country and is the seat of the Trenčín Region and the Trenčín District. It has a medieval castle, situated on a rock above the city.
Trenčín was first mentioned under the Greek name Leukaristos (Λευκάριστος), depicted on the Ptolemy world map around 150 CE. During the course of the Marcomannic Wars between the Roman Empire and Germanic Quadi, the Romans carved an inscription on the rock under the present-day castle in 179 CE and the place was mentioned as Laugaricio. It is the northernmost known presence of the Romans in Central Europe.
The first written mentions in the Middle Ages are from 1111 (as Treinchen) and 1113 (adjective Trenciniensis). The German and Hungarian forms are Trentschin and Trencsén, respectively.
The site of Trenčín has been inhabited since time immemorial. Trenčín Castle, a typical medieval fortified castle is situated high on a rock above the city.
Trenčín is best known for a Roman inscription on the rock below the Trenčín Castle dating from 179 AD, the era of the Marcomannic Wars, a series of wars between the Roman Empire and the Germanic Quadi. It denotes the site as Laugaricio and is the most northern evidence of the presence of Roman soldiers in central Europe.
Trenčín is one of the suggested locations for the capital of Samo's Empire in the 7th century. Wogastisburg (Vogast castle) was probably located somewhere on the Vah (Vogas) river and was also the site of a decisive battle between the Slavic and Frankish armies in 631.
It is plausible that Trenčín Castle was founded during the Great Moravian era. In the beginning of the 11th century, the region was controlled by king Bolesław I the Brave of Poland. In 1017, Stephen I of Hungary conquered the region which remained part of Hungary until 1918. By the end of the 11th century, the castle became the administrative centre of Trencsén county in the Kingdom of Hungary. As one of the few stone castles in the country it resisted the disastrous invasion of Mongols in 1241. In 1263 Trenčín was in the possession of Jakab Cseszneky royal swordbearer, but in 1302 King Wenceslas I took it away from the Cseszneky brothers because they were supporting his rival Charles Robert, and donated it to Matthew III Csák. Between 1302 and 1321 the castle was the seat of the powerful magnate Matthew Csák who controlled most of what is now present-day Slovakia. Challenging the authority of king Charles Robert, Matthew Csák maintained a large court and pursued his own foreign policy. The Treaty of Trentschin between Bohemia, Hungary, and Poland was signed in the city in 1335.
Trenčín gained a number of privileges during the Middle Ages: In 1324 the inhabitants were freed from paying tolls and the city received free royal town privileges in 1412 from King Sigismund. However during the following decades and centuries there were catastrophes and wars which lasted until the end of the 18th century. During the conflict between the Habsburgs and the supporters of the rival king, János Szapolyai, the town was captured in 1528 by imperial troops. In the 17th century the Ottomans were another threat from the south but they failed to conquer the city. The town then suffered from the Kuruc uprising against the Habsburgs and on 3 August 1708 the Battle of Trenčín took place close to the city. Two years later a plague killed 1,600 inhabitants of the city. Finally, in 1790 the town, along with the castle, was burned down and the castle has been in ruins ever since.
In the 19th century Trenčín flourished, as the railways to Žilina and Bratislava were built and many new enterprises were established, particularly in the textile, food and machine industries.
The town became the hub of the middle Považie (Váh) region.
In 1867 Trenčín was downgraded from a "free royal town" to a "town with municipal government" and came under the direct control of the chief of Trenčín county.
Trenčín flourished again during the era of the first Czechoslovak republic and became the capital of the Trenčín county again between 1940–1945 when the puppet Slovak Republic was in existence.
Shortly after the Slovak National Uprising began, Trenčín was occupied by Nazi Germany and it became the headquarters of the Sicherheitsdienst and the Gestapo, and a prison camp was placed there.
Trenčín was captured by the Soviet troops on 10 April 1945, after a bloody battle.
Since 1990, the historical centre of the city has been largely restored and since 1996 it has been the seat of Trenčín Region and Trenčín District. The castle and its Roman inscription have attracted tourism since.
Trenčín lies at an altitude of 262 metres (860 ft) above sea level and covers an area of 82.0 square kilometres (31.7 sq mi).[1] It lies in the Trenčín Basin of north-western Slovakia, which is surrounded by the Strážov Mountains, Považský Inovec and White Carpathians, with the last mentioned being a protected area. The Váh River flows in the north-south axis.
Trenčín lies in the north temperate zone and has a continental climate with four distinct seasons. It is characterized by a significant variation between hot summers and cold, snowy winters.

This weekend, the Peace Center will screen "Genetic Roulette" for its March Second Sunday Film Series offering.
When the United States government ignored repeated warnings by its own scientists and allowed untested genetically modified crops into the environment and food supply, it was a gamble of unprecedented proportions. The health of all living things and their future generations were put at risk with this new technology.
"These foods are not regulated, controlled or tested for safety by the FDA. Safety is determined only by the manufacturer ... and the main producer of GMO crops and food is Monsanto, which has misled the public in the past by marketing DDT, Agent Orange and PCBs as safe," according to http://aboutgmo.com/blog/.
After two decades, physicians and scientists have uncovered a grave trend. The same serious health problems found in lab animals, livestock and pets that have been fed genetically modified foods are now on the rise among Americans. Why are there 61 countries banning GMOs or making mandatory labeling laws for them? And why isn't the United States one of them? This seminal documentary provides compelling evidence to help explain our deteriorating health, especially among our children, and offers a recipe for protecting ourselves and our future.
There will be a facilitated discussion following the film. Popcorn and refreshments will be served. There is a suggested donation of $5 to $10 although no one will be turned away. All proceeds benefit the Peace Center of Nevada County and the Social Action Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains. The film begins at 7 p.m. Sunday at UUCM, 246 S. Church St., Grass Valley. For more about the film, go to http://geneticroulettemovie.com/ ">http://geneticroulettemovie.com/.

is it just me or do these curls look horrible?
ive been browsing websites for pics of possible hairstyles to show my stylist when i get my hair cut on tuesday, and i came across this ^^^ in the thumbnail it looked quite wild and messy and nice, but upclose i realise its REALLY crispy, with weird frizz, and just looks WRONG. and whats with the straight-ends-that-have-been-done-on-purpose? |
Whew they've twisted some of her curls all out of shape into tight little umm dunno twists or something. Her hair does look pretty crispy.
I say you not do that to your hair :lol: |
That looks AWFUL! :shock: Gosh even when my hair was super crunchy the other day because I put too much gel in it it didn't look that bad! :shock: Ugh! I so agree with you :D EXTREMELY crunchy, weird frizz!!! And I also agree with Medusahair: DON'T DO THAT TO YOUR HAIR! :P
I think it looks terrible. Dry, frizzy, dirty.
dirty and frizzy. blechh. they look like a bad version of dreads
No, it looks awful!
Wow! :shock: Isn't there a breed of dogs with fur like that? :?
hehe Puli has hair like that :lol:
Uh, wow......she's my new HAIR IDOL!!!!! :lol:
Ick. |
how horrific, my heart skipped a beat when i saw this :shock:
thankyou all for telling me i'm not crazy, and it is just plain awful.
it's not even like a messed up, dirty look that looks good!! sometimes i envy models when they have frizz and tugs but it looks sexy. it just looks plain wrong - like they couldnt decide what to do. 'crisp clean curls, or frizzy mess? hell lets just do both!' and dont worry, i wont be doing anything like that to my hair :wink: |
That looks like a dry mess. It looks like she's growing out a straightening process.
No wonder she has a gloomy expression on her face!
Imagine someone making hair look like that on purpose. |
Oh wow! You mean someone did that... on purpose? :shock: :?:
eek. :shock:
That just looks...weird! Really crispy and odd...very glutinous, like she used some icky paste from Kindergarten and spread it through her hair. Blechh :?

Effectively Using app.json File Generated By Sencha Cmd In ExtJS
Effectively Using app.json File Generated By Sencha Cmd In ExtJS
I have tried searching in the forum, blog, documentation and learning resources but could not find a resource that describes how can we use app.json file in ExtJS 4.2 that was generated by Sencha Cmd. By default it has following JSON bits.
Code:{ "name": "MyApp" }
Or at least a feature request should be added in Sencha Cmd to put various possible configuration options and their explanations in comments at the time of app.json file generation.
12 Apr 2013 9:15 AM #2
The app.js file will contain a skeletal implementation of an Ext.app.Application. You can check out the documentation here on how to configure the application itself.
Cmd will set up the folder structure and a few template files (controller and view) to get you started. For a great guide on how to continue setting up the application using the structure created by Cmd you might check out these guides:
23 Apr 2013 11:37 AM #3
The question was about app.json, not app.js.
Unfortunately there is really no documentation about using app.json with ExtJS.
24 Apr 2013 12:44 PM #4
After the application is generated I'd think you'd just build your app out (either starting with the generated files or with your own created files) and then compile the app. What are you looking to edit via a config file?
25 Apr 2013 12:04 PM #5
Thanks for the reply. I have gone through the MVC guides and other documentation listed above a dozen time and they were all great and very helpful. But as @farion mentioned above that the question was not about app.js but it was about the app.json file found in the root direction of an application generated by Sencha Cmd.
In fact this is the question, how to use that config file? Is this something useful (right now or in near future?) Is it just a redundant file that has no purpose in usual cases? Is it something that is being used when packaging application as native apps? If so then where are further details and documentation about it? :-)

Now review from the App.

Great light
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I feel this is money well spent - especially while on sale; but, even at retail price. You will not be disappointed with this light. It is relatively bright and has all the features you would expect. Unless you have a very specific task that would require a more expensive light, this will make most people very happy.
I purchased this lamp for my wife. I like the Moxie much more than my Petzl Tactikka Plus. The Moxie/Cosmo is significantly less expensive and brighter with similar burn time (55 vs 35 lumens - 250 max burn on low). The Moxie/Cosmo is slightly heavier than my Petzl tactikka plus (3.2oz vs 2.75 - with batteries).

Riverland South Australia |
Paringa Bridge over the Murray River
Population | 30,000 |
LGA(s) | |
State electorate(s) | Chaffey, Stuart |
Federal Division(s) | Barker |
The Riverland is a region of South Australia. It covers the area near the Murray River from where it flows into South Australia downstream to Blanchetown. The major town centres are Renmark, Berri, Loxton, Waikerie, Barmera and Monash. Each of these are accompanied by minor townships, the total area comprising approximately 30,000 people. Many of the towns were established for the re-settlement of soldiers after their return from World War I or World War II. Most towns were established as separate irrigation districts.
The region hosted an internment camp for people of Japanese,[1] German and Italian origin or descent during World War II. This camp was based at Loveday and little remains to testify to its existence.
The region grows about half of South Australia's grapes, and 90% of the citrus and stone fruit. Most major Australian wine companies source a significant amount of bulk wine from the Riverland. The Agriculture industry is the largest employer in the area.
Houseboating, water skiing and golfing are popular pastimes for visitors to the area.
Riverlanders share an interest in the health of the River Murray.[2] The majority of the River Murray and surrounds in the Riverland area is a declared reserve. The predominant natural environment consists of River Red Gum and Black Box forests that line the river banks and flood plains, as well as steep cliffs. The Riverland is abundant in wildlife, the more common species encountered being Pelicans, Kookaburras, Brush Tail Possums and Perons Tree Frogs. Less common species include Koalas (introduced to Renmark), Bush Stone Curlews and Carpet Pythons (rated 'vulnerable' to extinction in the region).

The Department of Energy (DOE) is establishing test procedures for light-emitting diode (LED) lamps to support implementation of labeling provisions by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) established under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA).
Recent Updates | Public Meeting Information | Submitting Public Comments | Milestones and Documents | Related Rulemakings | Statutory Authority | Contact Information
DOE published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking regarding test procedures for LEDs. 79 FR 36242 (June 26, 2014).
There is no public meeting is scheduled at this time.
The comment period is closed.
The light-emitting diode lamps test procedure rulemaking docket EERE-2011-BT-TP-0071 contains all notices, public comments, public meeting transcripts, and supporting documents. For the latest information on the planned timing of future DOE regulatory milestones, see the current Office of Management and Budget Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions.

I know, I know… I just mentioned Leela Cyd Ross in a previous post, but I found this image in her online portfolio and it grabbed me hard and wrestled me to the ground with emotion – I love it and wish I could frame this pretty pic for my kitchen – this is such a gorgeous piece of work. I love photographic storytelling and a diptych photo like this one below really opens your heart and mind to what stories lurk there, doesn't it? To me it's the perfect blend of beauty and melancholy. It's serene and hopeful but also a bit sad.
Leela Cyd Ross is a features writer for Kitchn but also a wonderful photographer with a great online portfolio that you must browse for a moment today… You'll find images that just may transport you into a space and time with lots of sun, cloudless skies and warm temps like this…
Leela your work is beautiful, thank you for sharing it on decor8 today.

Glock 36 ?
What is the difference in felt recoil between a Glock 36 45 acp and a full size 1911 ?
What are your feelings on a Glock 36 as a personal carry gun ? |

The 1911 has a twisting recoil ...up and muzzle twist clockwise. I've never had a problem with recoil on that pistol and am very comfortable with it. My 1911's weigh in at about 39 ounces empty so the weight dampens much of the recoil.
I have both the G21 and the G36 and think the world of both of them. Recoil is never a problem as I've shot .45acp since 1968 and place it number ONE on my list of choices. G36 is not a beast to shoot at all and I've never ...repeat NEVER had a malfunction with it. The G21 is a moose but the G36 has some real potential as a carry gun. I carried my 1911 for many years through fields, brush and as a small game getter but would never consider the 1911 for concealed carry. I have the magazine extender type mags on my G36 because I have huge hands. Removing those mag caps make the pistol really small for a .45. The smaller capacity of the G36 may cause some concern as compared to a G17 or G19 in 9mm. The .45acp has plenty of authority to end disputes quickly and efficiently so the lower capacity issue is offset. Whatever the .45 acp hits, STAYS hit and there's no "shaking off" a hit from the .45.

I carry a Glock 30 (the 10 rd .45 ACP (sub)compact).
Recoil is VERY manageable. I have no problem concealing my 30, and I imagine the 36 can only be easier. |

1911s are heavy, and have a lot up front. They gobble up recoil. 1911s are the most pleasurable weapons I've fired-- and I'm a polymer guy.
The G36 is very light, and isn't front heavy. It does allow a three-finger grip, and the blocky nature of Glock grips works great with the single stack. It fills the hand nicely, and I have an easy time controlling them. If I were stuck with FMJ (ie, no 9mm hollow points), the G36 and an M&P45c would be my choices for IWB and OWB concealed carry.

You asked for 'felt' difference.
Subjective opinion with the same brisk load, (200H&G/7.0New Unique), is that the slide's cycle on the 36 is quicker, sharper, and has less 'torque' than the range mule Norinco. Thats with a one hand Bullseye stance and attitude at a slow cadence. Not objective at all. salty

1911 and 36
I have both. Like them both. Recoil with the 36...as noted a few times previously......is not a problem. Very reliable and startlingly accurate.
Six rounds? Lotsa people carried six rounds in their snubbies and service revolvers before the hi-cap craze set in/ Pete

I've tried lots of ways to make an excuse to buy a G36, but I just cant do it with a G27 around.
That magazine grip thing on the G36.. blah. I could be all over the 36 if there were conversions to 10mm. Last edited by Dashunde; November 10, 2012 at 02:44 AM. |

I have no problems with either. For me the G36 was surprisingly easy to shoot, and I would recommend it from a carry perspective.

Sailing Buddies Wanted: St. Thomas
Love to sail, but don't have a boat at present?
Just sailed my 42 foot Cheoy Lee Clipper ketch from Maine to St. Thomas, her new home port. Looking for fellow enthusiasts who want to help sail this wonderful boat on day-sails around the U.S. and British Virgin Islands.
If you're fit, don't smoke and know something about sailing, you're invited.
Weekends, weekdays, mornings, afternoons, whatever.
The boat is berthed at Sapphire Beach Marina on the East End of St. Thomas, just around the corner from Red Hook. Convenient jumping off point for St. John and the BVI. Great sailing weather coming up!

General Question
If you don't get a response from an email, what do you do?
Asked by zanguest (10
October 28th, 2009
I didn't get a response from an email address that I knew was correct. I was trying to do business with this person, and they had given their email address to me personally. I called the persons manager and said "I'm not sure if I have the right email address, because I haven't gotten a response." Is that considered a lie? Or is it good business etiquette?
