Annual Report 2009-10
Although this annual report is mainly a review of what happened during the past year, it is also the basis for our planning for the future. Since the middle of the twentieth century, Michigan Tech's graduate programs have seen nearly a ten-fold increase in enrollment. Fall 2009 enrollment reached a record high of 1,206 students, approximately one-seventh of Michigan Tech's overall enrollment. The preliminary Fall 2010 numbers continue to be promising with a graduate enrollment of 1,241 students. The University's Strategic Plan calls for continued growth in graduate enrollment so that the number of graduate students will reach 3,000 by 2035. Faculty and staff on campus are working hard to make this vision a reality.
G r a d uat e S c h o o l 2 0 0 9 - 1 0 A n n ua l R e p o rt Message From the Dean 2010 was the 60th anniversary of the formation of the Graduate School! In 1960 Dr. Donald Yerg became the first dean of the Graduate School. This is not to say that graduate education at Michigan Tech only began in 1960. Quite to the contrary, the first graduate students were on campus in 1889, only four years after Michigan Tech (then the Michigan Mining School) was established. The first MS degrees were awarded in 1927 and first earned doctorates were granted in 1934. Graduate School Staff Jacqueline E.

The University's Strategic Plan calls for continued growth in graduate enrollment so that the number of graduate students will reach 3,000 by 2035. Faculty and staff on campus are working hard to make this vision a reality. You can help, too, if you choose to respond to our "Give us 60" campaign. We are asking graduate alumni to send us sixty words about how their Michigan Tech graduate education made a difference in their lives. We also hope that everyone who responds will consider making a donation to the Graduate School that will be used to enhance graduate education. Any amount is helpful; the first gift to the Graduate School was for $7 (in 1970). Jacqueline E. Huntoon � Dean of the Graduate School 906-487-2327 � email@example.com � Administration Building 411A American Indian/ Alaskan Native African American/ Non-Hispanic Asian/ Asian American Hispanic/ Hispanic American White/ Non-Hispanic International Multiracial Not Supplied Graduate Student Enrollment Percent by Ethnicity: Fall 2009 The number of graduate students not supplying race/ethnicity information grew since the fall of 2008, while the number identifying themselves as multiracial decreased. Michigan Tech attracts a large proportion of international students due in part to the University's extensive offerings in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines. PhD Support Types: Percentage of Students by Year 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 50 Internal Support Source External Support Source Self-supported 30 10 Internal financial support includes teaching and research assistantships provided by Michigan Tech.

The University's goal for 2012 is to graduate approximately 65 PhDs and 225 master's students. | Celebrating 125 years 1885 School is Established In 1885, the Michigan Mining School was established and began educating engineers to serve Michigan's copper and iron industries. The first location for the school was a rented space at the Houghton Fire Hall. As the school broadened its mission, it relocated to its first official building, Hubbell Hall, and was renamed Michigan College of Mines (MCM). 1927 First Master's Degrees Jack L. Byers and Corbin T. Eddy received the first two master's degrees awarded by the College. Both degrees were in the area of metallurgy and both degree recipients went on to be faculty members at the College. 1934 First Earned PhDs The first two earned PhDs were granted to Roy W. Drier and Corbin T. Eddy by the metallurgy department. Drier pioneered early X-ray research and later received the first Faculty Research Citation. He also helped to establish the MCM&T foundation, which is the predecessor to the Michigan Tech Fund. Eddy was appointed the chair of the metallurgy department in 1940. College Name Change The Michigan College of Mines changed its name to the Michigan College of Mining and Technology (MCM&T) to reflect its expanding curriculum. 1880 1900 1920 1930 1940 1950 1889 First Graduate Students Edmund J. Longyear and William E. Parnell were our first two graduate students. Both started their education at MCM in the first undergraduate class and graduated in 1888. Longyear went on to use diamond drill technology for prospecting on the Mesabi Range, and Parnell served as the superintendent of several area mines and as a consulting engineer for the city of New York. 1930s First Female Graduate Students During the 1930s, the first female graduate students arrived on the campus of MCM&T. The first was Margaret R. Holly, in 1933, who was a candidate for an MS in General Science. She was followed by Eileen G. Driscoll and Eunice R. Jackson, who both studied graduate-level chemistry in 1936. 1950s Board of Control Approval On July 6, 1950, the Board of Control approved the creation of the Graduate School, Graduate Council, and the publication of the Graduate Bulletin. Later that year, on October 6, the Board of Control approved the appointment of Dr. A.K. Snelgrove (Geology) to the position of director of graduate studies. 1960 Formalization of the Graduate School 1970s First Graduate Donation The first recorded donation to the Graduate School was $7 on January 15, 1970. 2000s First Female Dean Jacqueline Huntoon is the first female dean of the Graduate School (2005). Dr. Donald G. Yerg was the first Graduate School dean and appointed the first Graduate Faculty Council. He was also instrumental in producing the graduate catalog. Graduate School deans from 1960 until today include Donald Yerg, Leland Shirley, Eugene Huang, Thomas Courtney, Bertwell Whitten, Sung Lee, Bruce Rafert, David Reed, Martyn Smith, and Jacqueline Huntoon. First Female PhD 1000+ Graduate Students Nancy Scofield was the first female to be granted a PhD in Michigan Tech's history. Her degree was in geology, with research in the area of mineral chemistry. In fall of 2009, graduate enrollment exceeded 1,000 students. In 2009-10, Michigan Tech awarded a record 258 graduate degrees. 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 1964 Michigan Technological University 1980s Graduate School Growth In 1981-82, Michigan Tech received 661 graduate applications and had a graduate enrollment of 310 students. Currently the Graduate School processes over 2,800 applications per year and has an enrollment exceeding 1,200 students. 2010 60th Anniversary The sixtieth anniversary of the Graduate School brings 27 PhDs, 34 master's, and 5 graduate certificate programs to Michigan Tech's campus. These programs have an enrollment of over 1,200 students. We are proud to say that, as of 2010, there are 6,911 graduate alumni living and working across the globe. To date, our alumni and friends have donated $5.2 million in fellowship gifts to support our graduate students. Michigan College of Mining and Technology became Michigan Technological University in 1964. With a new president, Raymond L. Smith (1965-79), enrollment grew from 3,400 to more than 7,600 students. During Smith's tenure, research funding increased 250 percent and nearly 66 percent of faculty had PhDs, compared to 27 percent in 1964. Graduate Students from Michigan "Our graduate programs attract some of the best minds in the world to Michigan, while also serving some of the very best students from our state." President Glenn Mroz 32% of Michigan Tech graduate students are Michigan residents Of these, 71% are from the south half of the lower peninsula. Michigan residents comprise approximately one third of our graduate student population. Our graduate students are conducting cutting-edge research that will positively impact the State of Michigan's economy in the areas of energy, health sciences, manufacturing, communication, sustainability, and water and forest resources. Graduate-level research and technology transfer are keys to Michigan's future ability to compete on a global scale. Our graduate students are "Creating the Future" and "Changing the World" for the State of Michigan. NASA/courtesy of nasaimages.org Michael Brodeur-Campbell Chemical Engineering, PhD, Spring 2011 A native of Port Huron, Michael Brodeur-Campbell is a PhD student in chemical engineering. Michael's research focuses on improvement of enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose for the production of cellulosic ethanol. This step remains a major hurdle to commercial implementation of cellulosic ethanol. Cellulosic ethanol is a promising technology for the production of a large quantity of renewable liquid fuel from biomass. Fuel produced from sustainability grown biomass could displace a significant amount of the petroleum used in the US. Female Male Gender of Graduate Students by College Fall 2009 Women Graduate Students From the first female graduate students on our campus in the 1930s to the class of 2010, Michigan Tech has continuously increased the percentage of female students in its programs. Today, more women than ever are seeking advanced degrees. The Graduate School actively recruits and supports women. Recruitment can be direct, like attending the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) recruitment fairs or through networking at, for example, the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing. This year Michigan Tech was ranked 15th in the nation by the American Society for Engineering Education for awarding 31.4 percent of master's degrees in engineering to women.

Educational programs in science and engineering are expensive, and the current economic situation in Michigan has made it difficult for the state to increase funding to universities. Our tuition has remained competitive however. In contrast, our minimum stipends (which are normally offered to incoming students) lag behind all but one of our benchmark universities. The cost of living is relatively low in Houghton, but some students do not want to come to Michigan Tech simply because they are offered more money elsewhere. $25,000 Michigan Technological University Graduate School 1400 Townsend Drive Houghton, MI 49931-1295 G R A DUAT E S C HO OL S TA FF C ON TACT U S Michigan Technological University Graduate School 1400 Townsend Drive Houghton, MI 49931-1295 T: 906-487-2327 F: 906-487-2284 E: email@example.com www.mtu.edu/gradschool GI V E U S 60 There are many different ways you can support and give back to the Graduate School.

This year's holiday movie crop reflects the longstanding landscape of gender stereotypes and lack of leading female actors that's been in place for decades, according to this blog post. As one media critic and female satirist points out, there needs to be a better balance of female and male in overall media representation and a rating system that denotes harmful gender bias as unacceptable and wrong.

I would be willing to help re-seed vines. If anyone can contact a person higher on the list (before the break) that may be willing to transfer the particular "stuck vine" files to a flash drive, I would be willing to send my 16GB flash drive to that person to facilitate the transfer. The transfer time should be quick and the return postage to me is about $2 USPS First Class.
When I get the flash drive back I could burn the FLAC/SHN files to DVD-R or CD-R as needed and get them out to next person on the list. A quick re-start to the vine. My cost would be minimal (B&P) and I would get quite a few shows in the process.
Since I am in the "in-between job" abyss, I could turn this around pretty quick. Let me know your thoughts here or via a PM. I would like to make a contribution to this system.
Best Holiday Wishes-Jimmy
Hal is a good viner, good people. He will be back.

you aren't being pushy, they will start moving, I do not have a working computer and I have lost everyone's address due to computer crash, I am working on this. After being on the vines for over three years and keeping up with them I am really struggling to get at them now due to many health issues that have plagued direct family members for over the past year and which I must devote my energy to. Sorry, it is kind of hard to direct energy towards vines but will do so. It sucks for the vining community and it sucks for me to have to write a note like this. Please resend me your address and I will get off to you what you are next on the list for, thanks, peace
Since then have not heard a peep. Although it would be grate to see the vines move again, I hope all is well there. I find it hard to believe that he would intentionally kill these vines like some others (not to mention any names, but I'm sure we could all think of a boy).
Hi there,
I was wondering if someone would be able to reseed the Elvis Costello & Friends 4-24-89 vine. I tried contacting the person above me on the list several times. I know he has had a pc problem but I don't know if he has been able to resolve it.
thanks in advance,
of two vines the FWGV #3 and #5. #3 died with txjed and #5 died with solix. any help is appreciated.........
Cheers! Nice to see ya around
"It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"
Just pulled one off the shelf.... if I buy a bunch of blanks I can get reseeds started... tell me which vines and to whom... and I can tell you if I have them!!
Send address.... I will get started on these for you.
It looks like this one stalled out with dr zevon. I wrote to him on oct 3 but go no response yet. So could some one please reseed this one. preety please with sugar on top.
Thanks to all who take the time to put theese vines together. I wish i had the time and know how to help.
Hugs to all.
I'd love to get 70 shn/flac parts 1 and 2 going and more '74 vine reseeded. Thanks

U.K. Top Court Announced It Will Not Recognize U.S. Bankruptcy Judgments
by Joel R. Glucksman on November 6, 2012
The United Kingdom's Supreme Court has ruled that for the first time in history, it would not recognize decisions by the United States bankruptcy courts against debtor companiesthat fail to appear in court to defend themselves.
The case in question revolved around a $10 million default judgment from the
bankruptcy courts in New York against Eurofinance SA, a distressed company located in the British Virgin Islands. When the trustee for Eurofinance sought to enforce the New York judgment in England, the High Court denied the request.

Hecht & Bannier Cotes de Provence Rose 2013
Rosé from Provence, France
Winemaker's Notes
The 2013 vintage was a challenging but rewarding vintage in the Cotes de Provence. The wine is fresh, aromatic, delicate with vibrant, "juicy" acidity. Hecht & Bannier are very pleased with our 2013 Cotes de Provence rose!
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "This is a new wine from these enterprising négociants. Fruity, crisp and light, it has a tangy orange zest texture that gives extra brightness. Very fresh and ready to drink."
Hecht & Bannier Winery
Formed in 2002, Hecht & Bannier makes wines intended to become reference points for the Languedoc-Roussillon, France's largest and most confounding winemaking region. Founders Gregory Hecht and François Bannier: "To conserve the typical Mediterranean strength in our wines while preserving balance and crispness, this is our mantra for all the appellations we produce." View all Hecht & Bannier Wines
About ProvenceGrenache and Cinsault. A move is being made to bring in more varieties, like Syrah, to increase the quality of the wines.
Notable FactsThe most important appellation is Côtes de Provence, where about 80% of the production is the typical style rose. Unfortunately, the easy-drinking aspect does not translate to the price – some of these wines are a bit pricey for drink-today wines. Some producers are making a shift to higher quality while others are selling their wines at a bargain. Either way, Côtes de Provence rose is a delicious match with any provence-style garlic-y cuisine. Other appellations to note include Bandol, Bellet, Les Baux-de-Provence, Cassis and Côteaux d'Aix-en-Provence. Though Côtes de Provence rules in amount of wine produced, the quality appellation to know is Bandol. Mostly red and mostly Mourvedre, the wines of Bandol are able to age a few years, like many a Chateauneuf-du-Pape, but also enjoyed in their youth.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Geometry of Corporate Control: The Neoliberal State Approach to Property and Class Power in Russia
Sher, Anna
The Graduate School, Stony Brook University: Stony Brook, NY.
This dissertation examines the impact of the neoliberal reforms and the adoption of the modern principles of corporate governance on the redistribution of economic power in society. The shareholder-centered model of corporate governance has accompanied market reforms across the world on the premise of broadening individual access to economic power. In contrast to this premise, the restructuring of the governance system in the Russian industrial economy in the 1990s led to a concentration of economic power and wealth by domestic elites. This study examines the institutionalization of concentrated corporate control in Russia in the comparative and global contexts, drawing on historical sociological research on the large corporation in the advanced capitalist economies. My empirical analysis is based on data collected from state-issued documents and original corporate reports, and involves a combination of methods including textual analysis and social network analysis. I demonstrate that mass privatization occurred after the state relinquished control of industrial enterprises through a sequence of changes in the legal framework. The state established the joint-stock corporation as a key institution that excluded the state and labor from the new system of corporate governance and eliminated the mechanisms of public accountability. This framework was utilized throughout the 1990s to pass corporate ownership and leadership into the hands of the elites, enabling them to concentrate control over massive capital assets. I argue that this outcome was not inevitable; it was, instead, a consequence of the state actions that transformed the organization of the Soviet economic governance by imposing key principles of the shareholder-centered corporate governance and the ideology of neoliberal globalization. A multivariate network analysis of the emergent business structure in Russia reveals that by 2001 Russia had a structure distinct enough to constitute a new type of corporate structure, that nevertheless exhibited emergent features consistent with the trends affecting other industrial economies. I argue that concentrated corporate ownership, taken together with other characteristics symptomatic of the neoliberal globalization, has congealed into a corporate system undergoing a"path generating" process of institutional change, rather than a failure to converge with the dominant models of corporate capitalism.

A Lovely Complement To The Neckpiece
By Gramma Loves Her Jewellery aka Percy
from Port Hope, Ontario
These earrings are quite lovely and are an absolute bargain at this price.They do not always hang horizontal to the face, but do swing and occasionally hang alongside the face, which I do not find a problem. I found these earrings to be comfortable to wear and not too heavy.These are not small earrings and the one issue I had, if one could call too much silver an issue, is that the wires are quite thick.For anyone who loves their silver, these are a steal, as is any one of the pieces made by Amangora, in my opinion. The workmanship is exquisite and the sodalite stone is quite noticeable. Since I already had the neckpiece and am having it altered so it can be worn shorter, I felt it would be prudent to purchase the earrings and am so very glad I did so. These would make a wonderful Holiday gift for someone who is a silver lover. And yes, I am already starting the Holiday shopping. If I could have had every piece in this line I would have done so, and sincerely hope that this line is not leaving The Shopping Channel.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'm a new Amangora fan!
By TSCjewelryfan++
from Sherwood Park, Alberta
When I first saw this line of jewelry on TSC I thought it was quite pricey. I ordered a few pieces recently when it was on clearance and now that I have it at home I think it is nicer than most silver jewelry and the price is probably justified. These earrings for example complement the matching necklace perfectly and are just the right size and weight. The silver is very white and the workmanship is great. I ordered a ring and a bracelet from a different set and they are also really nice. Everything mixes and matches perfectly. Wouldn't hesitate to order from this line again.

updated 01:40 pm EDT, Mon October 17, 2005
Adobe InDesign Server CS2
Adobe today announced , which enables system integrators and third-party developers to build automated, design-driven publishing solutions. Built on the same code base as Adobe InDesign CS2, the professional design and layout program, Adobe InDesign Server CS2 brings high-end composition and graphics support to a server platform, allowing Adobe partners to deliver improved automation and design quality to editorial workflows, collateral creation, data-driven publishing and template-based Web publishing solutions.
"Publishers are under constant pressure to produce personalized content in more places with fewer resources," said Mark Hilton, senior director of Creative Professional Products at Adobe. "What customers have had to compromise is typographical and design quality. Now, with Adobe InDesign Server CS2, system integrators and developers can build automated publishing solutions that help customers save time, money, and resources without sacrificing visual quality."
Automated Publishing with InDesign Server CS2
InDesign Server CS2, which shares the same code base as InDesign with its graphical and typographical controls, has been adapted for server usage, according to the company. The new server version offers extensive programming capabilities via scripting, C++, or SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), delivering a range of interfaces (from scripting to plug-ins to Web Services) for third parties to integrate InDesign Server CS2 into larger solutions for newspapers, magazines, catalog and book publishing.
InDesign Server CS2 delivers output capabilities, built-in language support, scripting DOM (document object model), and rich software development kit (SDK) as Adobe InDesign CS2 software. Additional features include support for multiple concurrent instances, error capturing, and server operating system support for Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server, or Mac OS X Server, version 10.3.x and 10.4.x 'Tiger'.
"The combination of Xserve G5 and Tiger Server provides publishers with the most powerful and scalable workgroup solution in the industry," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "We're delighted that our global publishing customers can take advantage of customized Adobe InDesign-based workflows and Apple innovation to accelerate the creative process and time-to-market."
Third Party Solutions Based on InDesign Server CS2
InDesign Server CS2 solutions will be available through third parties as a component of automated publishing solutions designed and built by system integrators and developers.
Adobe InDesign Server CS2 will be available to qualified Adobe developer partners in Fall 2005.

Agency claims it made errors seeking shortcuts; investigation far from over
WASHINGTON The Internal Revenue Service is feeling the sort of heat that targeted taxpayers feel from the tax agency. It's the sense that a powerful someone is breathing down your neck.
Republicans in Congress are livid with the IRS over its systematic scrutiny of conservative groups during the 2010 and 2012 elections. Democrats agree that something must be done. President Barack Obama also isn't at all happy with the tax collectors.
That kind of commonality in Washington is about as rare as a budget surplus. So expect a bumpy ride for the IRS, unloved in the best of times, as a Justice Department criminal investigation and multiple congressional inquiries try to get to the bottom of it all.
A look at the matter:
In brief
The central issue is whether IRS agents who determine whether nonprofit organizations must pay federal income taxes played political favorites or even broke the law when they subjected tea party groups and other conservative organizations to special scrutiny.
Also foremost in the concerns of Congress: Why senior IRS officials, for many months, did not disclose what they had learned about the actions of lower-level employees despite persistent questions from Republican lawmakers and howls from aggrieved organizations.
Why it matters
The IRS is expected to be pesky, even intimidating, to miscreants, but at all times politically neutral. Nonpartisanship is the coin of its realm, perhaps more so than in any other part of government.
IRS actions in the period covering the 2010 congressional elections and the early going of the 2012 presidential campaign have tattered the perception that the agency is clean of political leanings. Whether that was also the reality remains to be discovered.
A report by the Treasury Department's top investigator for tax matters found no evidence that sheer partisanship drove the targeting. But the watchdog disclosed Friday that he is still investigating. His report faulted lax management for not stopping it sooner.
Red-flag words
To qualify for exemption from federal income taxes, organizations must show they are not too political in nature to meet the standard. In the cases in question, applications that raised eyebrows were referred to a team of specialists who took a much closer look at a group's operations. That's normal.
But in early 2010, IRS agents in the Determinations Unit began paying special attention to tax-exempt applications from groups associated with the tea party or with certain words or phrases in their materials, according to the IRS inspector general's report. That's not normal.
The red-flag keywords came to include "Patriots," ''Take Back the Country" and "We the People."
That August, agents were given an explicit "be on the lookout" directive for "various local organizations in the Tea Party movement" that are seeking tax-exempt status. Such organizations saw their applications languish except when they were hit with lots of questions, some of which the IRS was not entitled to ask, such as the names of donors.
In June 2011, after the congressional elections, Lois G. Lerner, in charge of overseeing tax-exempt organizations, learned of the flagging and ordered the criteria to be changed right away, the inspector general said. The new guidance was more generic and stripped of any explicit partisan freight. But it did not last.

I live in Hamilton Ontario Canada, am 59 years old and love the DR
Jeff purchased this condo in 2012
Great location, very 'cozy'
We make your vacation simple and fun
Jeff's condo was as per the pictures and the description - it is a lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo, with a living-dining room- kitchen all together. There was lots of space for our family of 4 and everything was in good working order (AC, water cooler, hot water, etc..)
The complex Rosa Hermosa is on a smaller, more intimate scale than many of the other huge complexes and so is great for families and retirees - if you're looking to party during Spring Break, this may not the place for you. The pool was kept impeccably clean, was large enough for the kids and us to swim around in and have a good time. The gardens are lovely and well maintained too, with palm trees, bougainvillas, etc.
The beach is beautiful, and only 2 blocks - 5 minute walk- away. The condo is also close to shops, restaurants, and the main street where you can easily get a taxi, or even a local bus (guagua) to anywhere you want to go. The area as a whole was very safe and we felt fine letting our 13 year old walk back to the condo from the beach on her own.
The staff who work with Jeff -the driver to pick us up at the airport, the property manager who opened the place up for us- are on time, honest, and reliable.
I would recommend this condo for anyone looking for an easy holiday on a lovely, picture perfect Caribbean island.
Rosa Hermosa is an Oasis in beautyful El Cortecito. The apsrtment and the whole complex are very clean and quiet. Beach in short walking distance trough presidential suites apartments, french bakery, pastrata and mon amie restaurants so delicious! Also Antonio's Steakhouse and the österreicherhaus market. It was our first but definatly not the last stay here!
A second excellent vacation experience to this property! A beautiful Ocean and Beach, Great Restaurants, Perfect Weather and RnR! So very easy to book and go! Thanks very much for sharing your home once again! Everything I needed was there! I'll be back again for sure!
Had a wonderful time. Everything was well taken care of and available. The grounds are beautiful.
There are many nice restaurants close by with great service. As a Senior - everything is close by. Even my grand daughter (1 yr. old) enjoyed the pool very much.
Loved the onsite BBQ for inhouse dinners as well.
Thanks very much Jeff for sharing your home with us.
Having travelled to Punta Cana several times, this recent trip was just a
beautiful, relaxing getaway experience!
The resort shuttle met us at the airport and was on time and friendly. We
asked to stop along the way for groceries, and the driver was happy to
oblige and helped us right to the door with groceries and luggage.
Checking in was very easy.
The condo is spacious and clean with quality, comfortable furniture. The
amenities are well covered for a real home away from home experience in the
kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. The beds were very comfortable and
spacious and there is separate (and quiet!!) air conditioning in each
room. The pool was clean and large for enjoying laps in the morning, and
has a section for smaller children as well. A quiet, secure community and
the people in the neighboring condo units were very friendly.
We completely loved the location, with easy access to the beach and just
steps away to the pool. It is really a 6 minute walk to the oceanfront and
at a casual pace!! There are many restaurant options within walking
distance and the surrounding area is safe. I felt very comfortable walking
in daytime and evening. Prices were extremely good for a nice dinner
Overall, this Condo is true to the word for amenities, services and
location. The owner was very good to work with for any questions as well.
I'll highly recommend this unit to friends and family and we'll definitely be returning to this condo again!
Conveniently located...close to everything

Passed Out In CO & Washed Up In UT! Big Bikes Conquer The Elements Of The West!
DAY 7 Continued: 2013 KTM Rally, Steamboat Springs, CO
Day 1 of the Rally
After we checked in to The Grand and over-indulged in one of the best Mexican Foods in CO, we headed out and walked to the KTM Rally where the vendors were still setting up their tents.
KTM Rally registrants were welcomed by The Grand in style!
With the new
1190 Adventure R
front and center!
This is my first rally ever so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Honestly, I was pretty intimidated, kinda felt like Elle Woods walking into Harvard.
I'm not much of a gear head in terms of the inner workings of the mechanics, but I respect the beauty and the art of mechanics.
I'm more of a bookworm, so if there are written instructions.
Whether it be writing a formula in Excel, baking a cake, putting together a lighting fixture, building a desk to changing tires, I'm willing to learn and try.
Lovely sunflowers along the walk...
The set up was still pretty light as people were just arriving, both vendors and registrants.
These awards would be handed out later at the Awards Dinner on Day 3 of the Rally.
We picked up our SWAG...
Swag Bag: T-shirt, hat plus free gloves and lanyard from Thor booth along with discount and rebate cards from other vendors.
We walked around and got the lay of the land.
The guys did their thing while I listened, watched, learned and took in as much information as I could.
Everyone was super friendly, nice and very informative!
Plenty of 1190 Adv R Demo bikes to be tested!
I think I'll start out with this bike!
RedBull. They are everywhere. They have a lot of wings!
In addition to the Demo Rides, there were group rides, guided rides or you could go out on your own and explore the routes the Rally Team put together.
I opted to take a break over the weekend and play tourist. Besides, I knew Jeremy needed a little guy time on his own with his buds and ride like a real crazy wild man!
We decided to walk back to The Grand. Still pretty full from dinner, we all just chillaxed and settled into our rooms and had a good night's rest.
I'm going to keep the posts of the Rally Weekend a little lighter than typical and try to cover the highlights, but if you'd like to see more pics, you can
find them here

Under rating threshold (hideshow) I love this game, its just a pest to level up newer ships, a repeatable mission in the second or third tier levels would be the thing that changes this game from a great game to a renowned game. Five stars still though. I really do like the concept.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Absolutely love the idea of the game, but its a mite too difficult to fully engross myself in.
May. 24, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Make an engage 2, and implement some of the changes in the other comments, like re-playable missions.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Great 5* game. Very good and simple game design. Sometimes the interface is not perfect, some info is missing but it's fine. I wonder how good are the A.P.S compared to the A.S is it worth levelling a LVL1 A.P.S against a leveled A.S ?
Mar. 27, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I got lucky and managed to get past the first system. Now I'm still stuck because once again, my fleet is not powerful enough to withstand any missions.
Mar. 27, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I've completed the first 8 or so missions. I have 4 left that I can see on the first system. I also can't continue because I'm simply not powerful enough to survive any of these missions. And since you get no XP from losing, I'm stuck. 1/5 for a horribly balanced game. Undefined, we expect better from you.....

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Bomber with high kinetic def and BFB = success

Under rating threshold (hideshow) do u know want would make this game good something in the station u can buy to be able to bring out more ships in a fight

Under rating threshold (hideshow) haha i lost all my ships but killed the last enemy with corrosion... it said i lost but now i'm frozen on the victory screen :/
Sep. 6, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Would be a great game if it wasn't for the no-replay killing your new units' usefulness, and well.....other people have covered this enough by now.
Jul. 22, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) You seriously have to change 2 things in this game... 1- being able to replay missions. 2- get rid of the stupid level cap.
Jul. 6, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Anyone else notice the starwars ships in the game
Jun. 24, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Yet another fun game... as everyone said, it is really hard at the beginning. Here some tips... 1. Try Focus on just one skill per ship. 2. Try to use the more advance ship of the same type don't buy too many standard ship (400 gold) just buy 1 per type. And when you found more advance ship, replace the old one. 3. Try to level the most use energy skill, it is likely to be the best of that ship (just in some ship but all of them) 4. Exp is very important. Try to go for EXP skill and item. 5. Try to advance to the next area as fast as possible.
Apr. 15, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I thought I screwed myself by maxing out point defence (lots x small hits), the later enemies have too much defence, so I made a couple big single shot ships which starting to get all the kills. However the commander vesel is awesome, I concentrated on it giving other ships lots of attack buff, this made the multi hit attacks mostly one shot kils even against the hardest enemies, then that same command vesel put up loads of defence buff and bingo, 2 ships can beat almost any level! Point Defence, Corrosive Torp, Issue Orders, Formations = WIN (3 ships)
Mar. 15, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) What a great game! You must have played Master of Orion nearly as much as I did. I hope you continue to build on this as you have with the protector series. It would be great to see more variety with the ships, weapons, and opponents, but like all the other complainers, I still spent a few hours playing it.
Feb. 23, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Corrosive torp and FF torpedo is a good way to level up lower level ships. Any corrosion damage kills go to the first ship of the fleet (the one that moves first), so simply selecting the ship you want to level up first in the ship selection screen will give all the corrosion kills to that ship. FF torpedo is a good way of potshoting enemy ships into corrosion KO range, as well as keeping friendlies alive.
Jan. 27, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Good game, not to hard, not to easy. The only problem I had is, that you can't choose where to place the ships. So i had to place 12 ships in a level and still used only my old 6 ships. (to get 1st hit)
Jan. 21, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Am i the only one to notice you took all these ships from starwars? The yellow ships are flying backwards unless you purposly intended that. Well anyway goodgame.
Jan. 15, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Seeing as undefined is known for TD's and such, this isn't all that bad. This game is the first try at expanding on what undefined already knows, and should be treated as such.
Jan. 14, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) See the "Best Comments" section to understand why I'm rating this game 1/5. Levels need to be replayable and/or Battlefleet Capacity needs to be removed to allow levelling of new additions as you go along. IMO, more would be solved if beaten missions were replayable. Game is effectively broken.
Dec. 4, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I'd like to be able to know how many times i've upgraded each skill already - esp considering how careful one must be when upgrading :)
Nov. 26, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Stopped playing after I realized there was no replaying missions to grind. Clearly this will be too easy to screw myself over and hit a brick wall of unbeatability. I don't want to tip-toe through a game, making sure I don't make a bad choice. I want to be able to experiment, and pay the consequences of grinding if my experiment fails.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) There should be an engage 2 with some story to it and new stuff ^^
Sep. 16, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Just finished the game with a highly optimated but still not flawless strategy. They difficulty is not too high; quite the opposite, it's too low sometimes so that you can get away too long with awful play and wrong strategic decisions. As a result the optimal strategy consists of not buying items except for XP boosts and the most useful armor shield, since the problem when commanding a well-balanced fleet lies not in beating the enemies, but just in leveling the right ships in the right zones at the right time. So there are some flaws in the game design, but nonetheless i give it 5/5 for the challenging experience.
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Correctiong regarding BUG: numbers over 100 sometimes are just not displayed correctly, but work as intended (XP and damage). there is another problem where some sort of attacks make no damage (same attack makes 0 damage and then 87 in the next round). seems to be a bug related to armor.
Sep. 10, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) in the second version,players recomend to: 1 - show the finished ''worlds'' 2 - correct the damage bug >100 3 - replay on already finished ''worlds''
Under rating threshold (hideshow) BUG: There is a problem with numbers >100. Hits for over 100 make 0 damage. XP bonus higher than 100 gets reduced by 100 (120 -> 19 e.g.).
Sep. 10, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Anyone else notice that all of the ship models are ripped from Star Wars?
Sep. 7, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Game IS good, but WAY too hard, and lacking replay missions. Also, it's VERY hard to understand WHAT and WHEN you should upgrade. 3,5/5.
Sep. 5, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I seemed to have missed key for Revenant,Binar,Fangalev,KunriII,Tuska,Orion and Home. the only mission left is in Jorellia but I haven't got any chance at my lvl
Sep. 3, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I have progressed quite far in this game, but I seem to be missing the warp key to Plindus. Neither Sylandrus nor Trom are linking to it. Do I need to start over? Is it possible that I made a mistake in the order I need to buy warp keys? If so, that's kind of a stupid way to program the game....
Aug. 22, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) i need update this game need more exp on defeat on battlefleld!
Aug. 18, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) - Buying a ship if your shiplist is full costs the money and discards the ship... not great. - Target Tracer is ultimate weapon due to a bug that you can fire it infinite times per turn - Command ship issue orders benefits are shown in wrong fashion on the ship during battle or in upgrade screen
Aug. 10, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) bomber is awesome... at later levels hiz FoF do 80x3 damage to all in it's big radius, with high level crit items and max crit ability it burns up to 7 ships in 1 shot
Aug. 10, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) WALKTHROUGH!!!!!! -Use only 4 Wasps, 1 Phantom and 1 Command ship. You only need those quantities, and all other ships suck. -For skills, on Wasps train nothing but Rail Barrage, on the Phantom train only Nano Repair, on the Command ship train only Issue Orders. -For secondary abilities, max extra XP first, then energy regen, then the rest in whatever you want. -To train brand new ships, put the strongest XP boost items you can get on them and send them in one at a time with at least one high level ship. -When selecting ships for a mission, the order in which you click them is also the order in which they will move, so ALWAYS CHOOSE THE COMMAND SHIP FIRST! -The Issue Commands move of the Command Ship boosts the damage of every strike of a multi-hit attack. So for the Wasp Rail Barrage, which can get up to 9 hits in the later levels, the damage becomes downright unholy. They can annihilate most, if not all, of the entire enemy force before the enemy even moves.

Council rejects Filner's request to cover legal fees; 8th accuser appears
"I do not wish to see may tax dollars defend such a lawsuit," she said.
One of those who had urged that the city pick up the legal costs was attorney Hud Collins, who said that while he will never call him mayor again, Filner deserves the city's representation.
"You have an absolute obligation to pick up his defense," Collins said.
The council unanimously disagreed. Council President Todd Gloria emerged from the closed session saying the mayor deserves no help from the city.
"Bob Filner was elected to serve San Diego and its citizens," Gloria said. "He was not elected to mistreat and disrespect San Diegans or members of his staff. The mayor has no right to expect a blank check from San Diegans to defend his egregious behavior."
The mayor did not attend the closed-door session, Gloria said, adding that the City Council will do all it can to protect taxpayers.
"We will vigorously defend the city; the mayor has to defend himself," Gloria said.
While the council moved to isolate Filner, the number of women accusing the mayor of inappropriate sexual behavior continued to grow.
Lisa Curtin, director of government and military education at San Diego City College, told KPBS about a meeting she had with Filner in the summer of 2011 to discuss potential uses for property near the old Naval Training Center.
After the meeting, Curtin said Filner asked to meet with her alone. He then grabbed her hand, twirled her wedding band and asked if it was real. She said it was.
"He then asked me if it could come off while I was in D.C. and if I would go out with him," Curtin told KPBS. "I said I really didn't think so. And at that point, he pulled my hand closer to him and he reached over to kiss me. I turned my head at that moment and on the side of my face, I got a very wet, saliva-filled kiss including feeling his tongue on my cheek."
Curtin didn't respond to a phone message and email from U-T San Diego seeking comment.
Curtin is the eighth woman to publicly accuse the mayor of sexual misconduct since the scandal began July 10 when three former political allies accused Filner of sexually harassing numerous unidentified women.
The tide has continued to rise against Filner as several political leaders and organizations, including his own party, have called for the city's first Democratic mayor in 20 years to resign.
Filner's refusal to step aside has led to two separate recall efforts to oust him. Those nascent movements would need to collect 101,597 signatures from registered city voters within a 39-day period to trigger a recall election, with a 30-day extension allowed if the bid falls short.
A petition could begin circulating as soon as Aug. 16 under city law.
The fallout from Filner's scandal has begun to envelop his few remaining supporters.
Councilwoman Marti Emerald took fire Tuesday when four women criticized her during the council's public comment period. They expressed frustration that Emerald commended Filner in a July 11 statement for the "courage" he had in admitting his mistakes.

Bloomington scored a pair of short-handed goals in the second period 68 seconds apart and held on to beat the Evansville Thunder in the Class A championship game of the Indiana State High School Hockey Association tournament Saturday morning at the Pepsi Coliseum in Indianapolis. The Thunder had won both regular season meetings, but Bloomington won a 3-2 decision last weekend in the round-robin portion of the state tournament.

Canadien ski racer dies in Geneva
Canadian freestyle skier Nic Zoricic died in a World Cup skicross racing event Saturday, tumbling through safety nets in what ski authorities called a "freak accident." Zoricic, 29, died from head injuries after going through the safety nets lining the course after he went wide over the final jump. Skicross is an event in which four racers jostle for an edge down a course of banks, rolls and ridges. It debuted as an Olympic sport in 2010. Zoricic's death is the second in less than two months of a freestyle skier from Canada. Winter X Games champion Sarah Burke, 29, crashed during halfpipe training in Park City, Utah.

They can't even get Netflix to make an app for this phone...
And I'm sure Netflix is not alone here...I guess if you want to be treated like the red headed step child of smartphone OSes...
Mind you, the phone is fast and relatively secure compared to other platforms, but for most consumers it's going to be the last kid to be picked for the sports team.
In Fact, BB10 will run Android 4.0+ emulator soon, I can promise you Netflix will update their Android app to make sure it will not work on BB10.
I was too cheap to pay for a data plan for my personal phone so I have just taken what my jobs have given me. I've had two blackberries, a windows phone (WP7), and now the S3.
I love my S3 and can't imagine leaving the android ecosystem, but I really liked the last BB I had - the Torch. It was highly customizable and the form factor was great. It was a bit thick, but it was small and having the whole screen available while typing e-mails was very good for work. The system was very intuitive.
I really disliked WP7 (later updated to 7.5 mango). It had some nice features, but I had to install Zune to get music on it which is just as loathsome as Apple and their iTunes bullshit. The UI sucks. Live tiles are nifty but it ends there. The android home screens and widgets are much better. I could never fathom why, when I plugged my WP7 into my Win 7 laptop, it was unrecognized. Wtf microsoft? How slapdick is that? With the S3 and the Torch I could just drag and drop pictures, music, etc. No bloatware necessary. Also, there was no way to get a custom ringtone or notification on the phone. Maybe they fixed that with WP8, but I'll never know.
Long story short, if I didn't love Android so much, I'd be excited to give Blackberry another shot if the price was right. I'd greatly prefer an unknown Blackberry to a stupid iPhone or Windows Phone. But when you can get a Nexus 4 for $300, I don't see how anybody can squeeze into the market now. I wish it wasn't true, but I think BB is doomed unless they could somehow break into the "cheap" smartphone category that Android is dominating.
Yeah, BB is too late. A fast browser or the most awesome OS in the world won't help them at this point - they're simply too late to the game.
Most big companies that WERE standardized on BB have moved on to iOS or Android, and realized how much easier (and cheaper!) it is to not deal with the BES.
App developers have a gigantic market for iOS & Android. Not many people will be rushing away from those platforms to tap into the tiny BB market. It'll take a looong time for BB apps to get even a fraction of the volume that the market leaders have.
I see BB as the Lotus Notes of the Smartphone world. The old developers will cling to it & swear it's the best thing that ever existed in the history of computing, while meanwhile 95% of the market ignores it.
I think the price is too high to make any real headway, but it's not like the price is out of line compared to other similar spec'd smartphones. My old Blackberry was a great smartphone if you ignore how slow it was. I'd be willing to give the BB10s a shot at a lower price point. The negative comments about this phone are uncalled for and almost certainly from people with no experience.
If they were smart they would have come out of the gate with this phone for 399. They might only make 50 dollars per phone, but at least they could tease back some customers. At 600 dollars they have set their slow death into motion. Mismanagement at its finest.
I know in some countries . BB is still number one, especially with BBM service.
they can not buy Z10 at the moment due on local laws or late release date.
I know they would pick the money deeply to get the phone without thinking the cost .
if you are look further in Asia, Torch is/was not their preference.
they prefers low-budget BB where BBM for personal& works is the main reason to buy.
As I understand from the news, BB will release low-budget phone to tackle aging low-budget phone product currently on specific countries.
Android and Apple phone are eating BB market very fast....
What is ridiculous is that ppl were writing off BB as early as two years ago, making all sorts of comparisons to Palm, Atari, and Lotus Notes (hadn't heard that one before!), yet not only they survived, but also they increased their cash to 3B and launched a completely new platform. Even the analyst are chewing their words and increasing their sales forecast for the Z10.
What is even more ridiculous is that there is much conjecture and speculation from ppl who haven't even seen the Z10. Can someone who has actually used the Z10 objectively give their thoughts on the phone here?
I get that you had an older BB for 5 years, it ran OS18.104.22.168.3, never broke when you dropped her but after 5 years she became too slow, got fat and ugly, needed hard resets, you broke up, got an Android, moved on, Taylor Swift wrote a song about it. That's fascinating. But how is Z10 and how does it compare to the iphone 5?
Compared to iPhone 5, the browser is faster (to my eye anyway) and the screen is nicer. The OS is wayyyy slicker (the always-open notification centre is fantastic). The apps selection though is of course much weaker. I'm not really an app guy though. Skype is the only one I'm waiting for and BlackBerry has confirmed that it's coming sometime around the full U.S. launch. As such, this phone seemed right for me so I took the plunge and ordered one, and at this point couldn't be happier.
