TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Club House Roma Rome
I loved this hotel, it was probably my favourite for the whole tour. The rooms were spacious, and beautiful. Beds comfy! There was free wi-fi, a range of activities such as a theatre if you so desired to view, and a very tasty and varied buffet breakfast. The hotel is situated just outside of the city centre, and we had a 5 minute walk to the metro to catch the train in. I would definitely stay here again.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Club House Roma Rome
Excellent Value
I appreciate that everyone's experience is different, but I just can't understand most of the negative reviews about this hotel.
We paid �117 for 3 nights B&B at the Waldorf through gtahotels and, to be honest, my expectations for the Waldorf weren't great. However, it was as good a 3 star hotel as I've stayed in. The room, although not the largest you'll ever see, was clean, well finished and looked as though it had been refurbished relatively recently. You get a pretty decent buffet breakfast so you're not hungry for the day's sightseeing. The staff were very helpful and answered all our questions in a pleasant manner.
OK, so it's not central -it's about 5 minutes walk from the Cornelia stop on Metro line A. However, it's still in a good location close to a suburban shopping street which gives much more of a sense of typical Roman life than the tourist centre, so that's not a bad thing in my view. In any case it's only about 15-20 minutes away from the centre which isn't too bad. To get to the Centro Storico directly take the 46 or 916 buses from the via Bocchia (both of which go to Piazza Venezia).
If you're going to Rome, are on a tight budget and don't mind being a little out of the centre then I'd thoroughly recommend the Waldorf.
Great Place
I enjoyed this hotel! The staff were friendly and the room clean! Breakfast was first class!
Granted you have to take the metro into the city centre, but lets face it the sights are only ten to fifteen mimutes away on the metro.........a great deal and a fantastic place to stay. I'll certainly be returning there on my next visit to Roma!
Great base for a wonderful city
We have just returned from three days in the wonderful city of Rome. We stayed at the Waldorf Hotel and although we were initially nervous about booking accomodation via the internet we were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is only 5 mins walk from Line A metro. The hotel is slighly dated but we were very pleased with our room. It was on the ground floor and was spacious enough for two of us. We were pleased with the bathroom and found it clean and large with a great shower. The breakfast was good and we found that we filled up at breakfast and only needed to have a small snack during the day.
I would recommend that if you fly to Rome on one of the budget airlines like Ryanair or Easyjet, thtat you take advantage of buying tickets for the bus into the centre of Rome which are offered on the flight. It costs �9.50 for a return journey and the only other way into the city is by public bus and we found this too confusing, or by taxi and they are expensive. The bus dropped us at the central station and from here you can get the metro all over the city. We bought a 3 day pass which cost 11 euros each. It is unlimited and we found this to be a great way to get about as whereever you want to go in the city it is only a short walk from a metro stop. We would recommend you buy a city map. We found ours invaluable and ours showed all the metro stations. One word of caution, don't try and get the metro late at night. We were told by an advisor at the tourist information that the metros run until about 11pm. This is wrong as we tried to get the metro at 10pm and found the metro closed. A taxi cost us 20 euros to get back to the Waldorf.
Overal Rome if a fantastic city and there is so much to see that 3 days was just not long enough and we are planning a return trip and we would stay at the Waldorf Hotel again. It is a great base and we found it to be great value for money.
I would never stay here again.
Staying at the Hotel Waldorf was the worst experince we have ever had. When we arrived on 4th October 2005, the duty manager informed us that they would have to move us to another hotel. A guest had left taps on and 10 rooms had been flooded. We were assured that the alternative hotel was excellent and was nearby and they would take us there. Alteranive hotel was not accpetable, accomodation was provived in blocks with no lifts, and remided us of a hostel or boarding schools. We contacted the Waldorf and after a long conversation they collected us and eventually accomodated us at the Waldfor. We later found out by talking with other guests, there was no flood and that the hotel was overbooked. During our stay of one week they told at least three other parties they had a flood and would have to move them. Like us they refused to move and were eventually found rooms at the Waldorf. Breakfeast was appalling, coming from Ireland we like our tea and being served hot water with scum floating on the top is unacceptable, we had to ask for boiling water from a kettle to make our tea. Staff were rude and unhelpful and had no concept of what customer service is or how to engage with customers. We had to ask the front desk twice to change our bed linen. Staying at the Waldorf reminded us of an episode from Fawlty Towers and at any moment we expected Basil to appear. I would never stay at this hotel again and would not reccomend it even to people I did not like.
Not Very Service Minded
Found the Waldorf Hotel's front desk people to be extremly non-caring
about their customers. Their attitude seemed to be that it was an
extreme pleasure to be staying in their hotel. I've traveled to Europe
and across America and have never experienced an attitude that was
expressed by the front desk people.
We as other reviewers had problems with the air conditioning in our
room and with no help from front desk, just slept with the window
open. If your not use to big city noise then you better find a way to
get the air to stay on all night. This is a neighborhood residence that
never sleeps from constant sirens to scooters, its just very noisey if
your not use to it.
All was not bad, rooms were clean and provided ample space and
breakfast buffet was decent. Only bad thing which made a lasting
impression was the service, which may okay by European standards
but not by general hospitality standards.
Nice little hideaway
The Waldorf hotel is great value for the money (we paid 38 euros per night for two, B&B) via Hotel.
The lobby has a very modern feel (with internet access) and off it there is a very pleasant lounge.
The rooms, whilst as a previous reviewer observed, are not very big, the space is perfectly adequate for two (if the third bed in our room had been taken it would have been cramped) and whilst the shower/WC is small, again, for two it is absolutely fine. Very clean, with really soft towels (and toilet roll - v important!)
We also had a little balcony. Shame it did not have a couple of chairs and a table on it.
The breakfast is really good as well. Lots of choice and they don't rush you if you get there just before they close at 10 (good for those late nighters!)
We found the room very quiet, whereas in some hotels you can hear the neighbours clearly. As I find it difficult to sleep in hotels this was a real bonus for me.
The only down side was the air con in the room - although it worked well I had to keep turning it on during the night. It took me until the last night to work out the setting for it to come on and off automatically all night (essential in the August heat). Tip: put it on the rain-drop symbol!
Re: location - you have to use the metro to get anywhere but this is very frequent, cheap (we got a 7 day pass for 16 euros) and reliable and when it is closed the hotel is off a very busy bus route. Just get a bus map as we kept waiting for the same 2 buses when others would have done just as well.
So overall, helpful and friendly staff, quiet but with a steady flow of guests of all ages and very clean, comfortable facilities, away from the hussle and bussle of the city centre. We'd definitely go back.
Far out and unattractive, but great service
On arrival at the Hotel Waldorf we were initially dissappointed. The external appearance was very 1960s and it seemed very far out. The room was also very small (the bathroom must have been the minimum size allowable - only one of us could fit in at a time!). It was further out than the description suggested, but luckily it was a few minutes walk from the Metro stop which took us to the Vatican City and on into the centre of Rome. The room was basic and small, but clean. We also couldn't fault the staff, who were always friendly and helpful. Being in a residential area it was also quiet at night (barring the noise of everyone lowering their shutters!). We would have preferred a more central location, but all-in-all it turned out OK.

NAMPA -- A father now has justice for his daughter, murdered 17 years ago.
John Greene lives in Nampa, and just returned from Colorado, where the trial for his daughter's death lasted three weeks.
It's late, it's real late, so it comes very bittersweet but it's justice, said Greene.
His oldest daughter, Kimberly Greene-Medina, went missing back in 1996.
Her husband, Mike Medina, was convicted of her murder last week. Now, Greene finally has some relief, after nearly two decades.
On Tuesday, he shared the story of her disappearance, her cold case, and the fight for justice with KTVB.
The Green family spent several years in Idaho when Kimberly was growing up.
She played volleyball for Meridian Middle School in 9th grade.
Her family later moved to Colorado, where she met her husband, Mike Medina.
They couple married when she was just 15-years-old and had two daughters.
Her family didn't know at the time, but police had been called out to their home for reports of domestic violence against Medina.
Then, in 1996 -- Kimberly disappeared and was never found.
A year later, her father moved back to Idaho.
From his home in Nampa, he kept pushing for answers in her disappearance.
Her father says he knew all along that her husband had taken her life.
It isn't fair that there should be such a thing as a cold case when you as a father know your child has been murdered they need to do something, said Greene.
Then, years later, Medina killed his young son with another woman.
In the hearing, came testimony that he had also killed Kimberly, including graphic details about beating her with a baseball bat, then burying her alive.
After he was done he said he got down on the ground and he could hear her breathing when he walked away, gurgling and that's not the way you want to think of your daughter, said Greene.
Then, after three weeks of testimony, Greene was there as a jury convicted the man responsible for his daughter's death.
In my heart I know she's happy, I don't where that comes from but you just feel it inside, she's happy, said Greene.
Her father says their entire family is relieved -- including the two daughters, now grown, who never got to know their mother.
I got to see witness after witness tell the truth, at the right time and the right place and with that there was a miracle and he was convicted and praise God he's never going to get out and hurt anyone again, said Greene.
Greene hopes the story of his oldest daughter helps the thousands of other families who have lost someone, but never learned why.
I just hope that by me winning this case other people know that they don't have to give up, said Greene.
Greene says he has forgiven Mike Medina.
Medina was already serving time for the murder of his son.
He was sentenced to life without parole for the murder of Kimberly.
Greene hopes someday the family learns where Kimberly's remains are located.
He says this was the second case in Colorado, where a murderer was convicted without a body.

Diabetes Health Center
Weight Loss Drug May Help Delay Diabetes
Nov. 1, 2004 -- A prescription weight loss drug may help obese men and women at risk for developing type 2 diabetes to prevent or delay the development of the disease, according to new research.
The study showed that obese adults with impaired glucose tolerance (a decreased ability for the body to use the sugar glucose, which is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes) who took the drug Xenical had a 42% lower risk of developing the disease within the next four years compared with those who took a placebo.
Based on these findings, the FDA has approved a new label for Xenical describing these potential benefits in reducing the risk of diabetes.
Researchers say it's the first time a weight loss drug has been shown to prevent or delay the progression to type 2 diabetes.
Xenical May Help Prevent Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body is no longer able to produce enough insulin, or respond to insulin properly, in order to meet the body's needs. Insulin is needed to convert sugar (glucose) in the blood into energy.
Being obese or having impaired glucose tolerance substantially increases the risk of developing diabetes over time.
In the study, researchers compared the effects of Xenical vs. a placebo in weight loss and the development of diabetes in 3,300 obese men and women. Nearly 2,600 of the participants had normal glucose tolerance and 600 had impaired glucose tolerance at the start of the study.
After four years, the study showed that people who had impaired glucose tolerance and took Xenical had a 42% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with those who took the placebo.
However, Xenical did not reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes among those with normal glucose tolerance.
The study also showed that weight loss was significantly greater among those taking Xenical than the placebo (15 vs. 9 pounds over four years).
Researchers say they believe the preventive effect of Xenical in reducing the risk of diabetes is due to the additional weight loss that occurred with treatment with the drug, rather than any independent effects of Xenical in glucose or insulin metabolism.

UNION — The Union County Carnegie Library's efforts to provide its patrons with the most up to date online information services and resources continued recently with the installation of 40 new computers.
Library Director Ben Loftis said that the library acquired the computers through a leasing agreement which will enable it to update its computer technology on a regular basis.
"We received a total of 40 computers and we didn't purchase them," Loftis said. "We're leasing them through Applied Data which works with Hewlett-Packard.
"Leasing them provides us with a sustainable model for consistent technology upgrades," he said. "By entering a lease agreement we have the opportunity to undergo a technology refresh every three years, meaning that when our lease runs out we can begin a new lease with new computers. Our hope is that through our lease agreement we can upgrade our computers in a timely manner."
The new computers replace the library's old ones which Loftis said were in some cases as much as 8-10 years old and due for replacement. He said that all of the new computers are now in service, being used by patrons in all four sections — chldren, teens, adults, and genealogy — of the library and by library staff.
Loftis said the new computers and the leasing agreement with Applied Data are in keeping with the library's efforts to provide its patrons the latest in online services and the technology to access them.
"In a lot of ways this is in line with the new services the library is offering," Loftis said. "We strive to meet the technology needs of our patrons. As computers play a larger and larger role, it is our goal to make these technologies available to the public."
Over the past several months, the library has taken a number of steps to increase the online services it provides its patrons including:
• Joining the Jasmine Digital Library, a consortium of South Carolina libraries using the Overdrive e-book platform. Overdrive is the leading e-book vendor and platform for libraries. Membership in the consortium makes e-books and e-audio books available to patrons which are compatible with the variety of e-readers including the Kindle, Nook, and Apple products. This has enabled library patrons to access e-books using their library card. The service enables patrons to check out e-books from home and makes new materials available to patrons in a wide variety of formats.
• Linking its website with the SCLENDS catalog, DISCUS resources, the HeritageQuest ancestry site, and the UCCL website providing easy access to those sites. The library's homepage also includes links to Learn a Language, a free language learning website; the South Carolina Day by Day Literacy Calendar offered by the SC State Library, featuring resources for literacy activities with young children; and, through the Day by Day calendar, TumbleBooks, an online collection of talking picture books. Also included on the library's homepage is a link to the SC Department of Employment and Workforce's MyBenefits login page. The library periodically adds new links to provide easy access to needed, relevant websites.
• Partnering with RBdigital from Recorded Books (Prince Frederick, MD), to offer Zinio for Libraries through its website. Zinio is the world's largest newsstand, offering multi-user access to popular publications. With Zinio, library patrons have unlimited multi-user access to complete digital magazines which can easily be viewed on most Internet-enabled devices inside or outside of the library. Zinio's technology digitally recreates a magazine page for page, including full color pictures, intuitive navigation, key word article search and interactive elements such as audio and video. Newsweek, Rolling Stone, and Reader's Digest are just a few of the popular titles available.
Loftis said the library will continue to work to ensure its patrons have access to these and other services as they become available by constantly updating the computer technology that will provide them with that access.
"Our goal is to maintain up to date technology to provide the best possible services to our patrons," Loftis said.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
When a foreign national enters the United States, they complete a small form for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) called the I-94. This form is then stamped by CBP with the date of entry and annotated by the border agent as to when the period of stay expires. This small card tells the person (and other government agencies and employers) whether the person is in the U.S. in a valid legal status.
CBP captures this information electronically, but also uses a contractor for manual data entry to the tune of $12-15 million per year. To save this duplicative process and payment, CBP has announced it will eliminate the paper I-94 card for most entries, most likely starting about April 20, 2013.
On March 21, 2013, CBP announced that it has issued a rule for publication. The rule would allow foreign nationals to print a paper I-94 after entry if desired by going to a website: www.cbp.gov/I94. The site is to be live within 30 days of the rule's publication.
While the rule still could be changed or delayed, information from several sources indicate that elimination of paper I-94s will be reality except for those requesting asylum, those being "paroled" into the U.S. and people put into removal proceedings at entry. However, the rule may be implementing on a rolling basis, with some ports of entry continuing the paper-based I-94 until the process has been fully functional.
If you are not given an I-94 at entry, the border agent should explain why (an information sheet is being planned for distribution at ports of entry). Because of the frequent need for I-94s, including proving immigration status to local law enforcement in some states and potential use for I-9 completion, we advise that you print a hard copy as soon as possible after entry and keep it with you.
More to come.

Ajmer : Michelin's recommendations
Although your first impression of Ajmer is likely to be a noisy one, it's worth persevering in this city of half a million inhabitants in order to spend time in the narrow streets of its old quarters. In Ajmer, colourful turbans give way to Islamic caps, and the bell towers of temples to the call of the muezzin: throughout the year, worshippers – often from far away – congregate at the dargah (tomb) of the Sufi saint Khwaja Main ud-Din Chisti, the most venerated Muslim sanctuary in India. Activity here is even more frenetic during the Urs festival, which commemorates the death of the saint in 1236.

American League Game Summary - Minnesota at Kansas City
(Wednesday, August 7th)
Final Score: Kansas City 5, Minnesota 2
Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Alex Gordon went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI and Alcides Escobar added to hits and a pair of RBI as the Kansas City Royals downed the Minnesota Twins, 5-2, on Wednesday.
Lorenzo Cain also drove in a run while Billy Butler and Eric Hosmer each collected two hits, including a double, and scored a run for the Royals, who are 15-4 since the All-Star break.
Louis Coleman (2-0) earned the win after tossing 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief and Greg Holland stranded a runner in the ninth for his 30th save.
"We've been playing well and you kind of want the ball with the game on the line," Holland said. "I don't know if three runs is really with the game on the line, but just to be out there when the game ends is pretty fun, especially when you're on the winning end of it."
Samuel Deduno (7-5) was tagged for four runs on 12 hits in 5 2/3 innings to absorb the loss.
Twins catcher Ryan Doumit, who went 1-for-2, is likely headed to the disabled list with concussion-like symptoms. He said after the game he just wasn't feeling right.
"It was the first day I actually felt like I actually exerted myself," Doumit said. "Being behind the plate is a different animal than DH-ing. I just didn't have it."
Minnesota wasted no time getting on the board as Brian Dozier scored on Danny Duffy's wild pitch. Dozier opened the game with a triple, his fourth of the season.
Escobar singled home Brett Hayes in the third to tie the game. Hayes doubled before coming around on Escobar's base hit to center.
The Twins pushed one across in the fourth to go up 2-1. Clete Thomas walked, moved to second on Pedro Florimon's groundout before scoring on a Dozier double to left field.
Gordon opened the home half with a solo homer and Escobar singled home Miguel Tejada later in the frame to give the hosts a 3-2 edge.
The Royals added one run in both the fifth and seventh.
In the fifth, Hosmer doubled, moved to third on a Butler single then scored on Cain's base hit to right field.
Gordon doubled home Butler in the seventh to account for the final difference.
Game Notes
The Royals have won six straight series ... Hosmer has hit safely in six straight games ... Kansas City went 5-for-14 with runners in scoring position ... The Twins were just 2-for-11 with RISP.

Getting a non-league victory just before the holiday break, the Marcellus wrestling team made sure it had representation in all the weight classes during last Tuesday's 39-36 victory over the Fabius-Pompey Falcons.
That would prove real valuable, since the Falcons won five of the first six matches. Only Tim Reedy, at 160 pounds, interrupted that run, pinning F-P's Guthrie Cordone 37 seconds into the second period.
Starting at 103 pounds, though, the Mustangs, down 30-6, turned it around, as Keith McIntosh (103) and Matt Simms (112 pounds) both claimed forfeits. Matt Marcheterre, in a crucial 119-pound match, beat Marcel LaChance 6-2.
Marcellus got two more forfeits thanks to Austin Simone (125 pounds) and Andrew Eberle (135 pounds), and Pat Cost helped clinch the meet at 130 pounds when he pinned Anthony Tirinato in 30 seconds.
For the season, the Mustangs are 6-3, 2-1 in the OHSL Liberty division, and will compete at the Jan. 3 Port Byron Invitational.

A model of the Taj Mahal is making waves in Madurai, but at the same time a 250-year-old heritage building faces demolition
For the past few weeks, the CSI grounds in Pudur has been witnessing an unprecedented rush. During the Christmas, New Year and Pongal weekends, vehicles and people jostled for space to get to the grounds. The reason is visible from a distance: it is the great monument of love, the Taj Mahal, that is evoking great curiosity and interest in the Temple Town.
As dusk sets in, the illuminated plywood and flex board replica of the architectural wonder stands like a mirage off the traffic-congested Alagar Koil road.
Squeals and shrieks of visitors, who get in after paying Rs. 25 entrance fee, makes the model seem real. The 'wow' factor is evident as hundreds queue up to be photographed against the majestic backdrop, paying another fifty bucks.
Majority of the visitors said they had not seen the real Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan's white marble mausoleum in Agra built in memory of his third wife Mumtaz Mahal, and that the replica was just as good. This exactly serves the purpose of the organisers, who assert that it is purely a "commercial venture." "But then," adds Kovai Murugesan, the Coimbatore man behind the enterprise, "it is also providing so many people with some basic information and idea about this wonder of the world."
"They don't have the means or can't afford to go all the way to Agra, so we did it for them here," says the happy businessman, as people come to his office room at the exhibition site to thank him.
"This is like the real Taj Mahal. I have been there," says a visitor. "Fantastic job," gushes another. "Keep it for some more time," pleads a third.
A bus full of villagers off-load and are simply awestruck. Same is with a group of school and college college students. You can see the cash registers ringing at the ticket counter and wonder whether the organizers should be appreciated or criticized.
Afterall, it is not the real Taj. But then people are returning with all the "wah, wahs", obviously overlooking the at times shaky minarets, peeled off canvass, and fading artwork.
"The model has been painstakingly set up for the benefit of the people," reiterates Manager Pandian. The group, which organizes the Coimbatore and Erode Trade Fairs every year, is not new to this business. This is the fourth year in a row that they have brought in the novelty of erecting world famous monuments and buildings in small towns like Salem, Erode, Trichy, Ramanathapuram and now Madurai besides Coimbatore and even Chennai.
"It is the public response that drives us. We have brought the White House, Parliament House, Dubai Towers and now the Taj to Madurai," adds Pandian. The entertainment quotient gets doubled as food stalls and amusement park for children is also set up at the site. Going by their statistics, it took 100-odd people to make the moulds and assemble the Taj Mahal here.
The 80-feet tall and wide structure has been erected over a platform of 1,000 wooden poles and was completed in three weeks time. It feebly tries to match the real Taj Mahal in lay out with the water front and green carpeting. Done at a cost of Rs. 21 lakh, daily between 4 pm and 10 pm, there are at least 1,500 walk-ins, which peaks to 5,000 to 7,500 during weekends. And of these, at least 40 per cent line up for the famous photo-click.
Even as Madurai celebrates the Taj Mahal, just a few kilometres away, on East Masi Street, a local monument more than 250 years old, which withstood the vagaries of weather and changes in rule and has been housing a police station for 100 years, faces demolition.
One is referring to the Vilakkuthoon police station, which is guesstimated to be in existence from the brief Maratha rule during 1740 to 1743 (or even earlier) going by the plaque on its right compound wall that reads "kotwal chavadi". Recently the custodians of culture and heritage, who have been also trying to resurrect the city's tourism, had Vilakkuthoon included in their heritage map.
"We discussed with the Collector and even decided to have a stopover at the Vilakkuthoon during all our heritage walks, so that people come to know about this remnant of glory," says Dr.G. Vasudevan, founder member of Travel Club.
Aghast by the proposal of building a new police station at the site by demolishing the old heritage structure, INTACH, Madurai Chapter, is exploring a Public Interest Litigation.
"Definitely we will have to stop this. We don't want to antagonize the police either and we hope the police will also understand and cooperate with us," says Convener Arvind Shankar.
While the CII, Madurai zone, is also likely to chart out its action plan soon, says the Chairman elect of CII Tamil Nadu, Mr.R.Dinesh, who belongs to the Temple Town: "We will surely work in the interest of Madurai,"
It is learnt that the Collector U. Sahayagam has already dashed off a letter to the City Police Commissioner stating the Vilakkuthoon police station is a heritage building and can not be torn down.
On the other hand, the police chief feels the current building does not provide adequate facility and space and therefore needs to make way for a new one unless an alternate site is identified.
The point is, can we really allow our history and heritage to take such a plunge?
There are, no doubt, inherent challenges unique to the preservation and redevelopment of heritage properties. We should not forget historic buildings are assets that add to the texture and culture of a street and a city and are worth investing in.
A public outrage may spare Vilakkuthoon the wrecking ball. Every citizen now has an opportunity to have a say and speak aloud for the protection of this iconic link from the past.
Facts about the Taj Mahal:
Was constructed over a period of 17 years (1627 to 1643) using materials from all over India and Asia, which were transported by over 1,000 elephants. Built at an estimated cost of Rs.32 million then, the translucent white marble was brought from Makrana, Rajasthan, the Jasper from Punjab, jade and crystal from China. turquoise from Tibet, sapphire from Sri Lanka, carnelian from Arabia and and Lapis lazuli from Afghanistan. Twenty eight types of precious and semi-precious stones were inlaid into the white marble mauspleum that attracts four million visitors annually including 200,000 foreigners. More than 20,000 labourers from across north India and a creative team consisting of sculptors from Bukhara, calligraphers from Syria and Persia, inlayers from southern India, stonecutters from Baluchistan created this finest example of Mughal architecture combining elements from Persian, Turkish and Indian architectural styles. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. -- Source Internet
Facts about Vilakkuthoon Police Station:
Though no city historian is able to provide the exact year of construction, it is guesstimated that it came up sometime in 1740 or even earlier because a plaque still preserved reads the "Kotwal Chavadi" (inscribed in English as Cutwals Choultry, the Main Guard). Since 'Kotwal' is a Marathi word, it is presumed the place would have been in existence during the brief Maratha rule between 1740-1743 A.D when Morari Rao of Gooty was the Governor-In Charge for Madurai and Dindigul after the decline of Nayak rule. The Nayaks had established 'Ushavadis', where revenue and police officials settelod civil disputes and these later came to be known as 'chavadi'. Nayak architecture is still visible inside the police station, it houses a stable like space perhaps used for camels and horses those days. The cash locker, lockups and arms and ammunition stack room inside are also intact. The locker is unique as it is inlaid in the wall. It was renovated during British rule. The present police station came into being in 1912. -- Source, Mr.C.Santhalingam (retd.Archaelogical Officer), in The Hindu Metroplus, Sept.2006

Guide To Online Slots
Slots is the most commonly played game both at land based casinos and online casinos in North America. It's a fun game to play that can be very rewarding if you hit a winning combination. One of the main reasons that slots are so popular is because they are so easy to play anyone can just walk into a casino or download the free software that online casinos offer and begin playing slots with no previous experience. Whereas with other games such as blackjack, roulette, and baccarat type games require that you know the rules and strategy of these games in depth in order to be successful in playing and winning at them.@@@@The first step in online slot is to choose a reputable and reliable casinos on line for online slot gaming. It is important to feel confident and secure in the choice of gaming site and having chosen a safe casino location, a player may focus attention of the slot game in hand.
Following this, the next stage is to choose a slot game according to personal taste out of the wide range of attractive slots that are available at the majority of best online casinosites.
Virtual coins should then be inserted to the selected slot machine casinos. Prompts or commands for action are usually set out on the screen. The main aim of a slot game is to obtain a winning combination of symbols on the pay line of the spinning reels.
The player should then select the amount of coins to be used for the particular game. The next simple step is to press "spin" or "play". In the eventuality of a successful game, the winning amount will automatically be credited.
Slots were invented by accident by an electrical engineer living in San Francisco. When the first models were produced they were huge, noisy, and slow. But over time as technology improved and demand increased, the slot machine came down in size and began introducing more than just spinning reels into their designs; elements like bonus reels, and progressive jackpots. Slot machines were then taken digital, and became one of the most popular online casino games around.
Another extensive development in the world of online slots was the increase in the amount of control that a player had over their bets. When online slots first landed in online casinos, you could really only bet a single coin, of a certain amount. But as machines advanced they were built to accommodate an increasing variety of betting options, including multiple, coins and different denominations.
Today you can pretty much make any bet you want in a online slot machine. The games these days usually allow you to increase or decrease your bet each spin by either the coin value or the number of conics you are playing.
One major revolution that came to the online slots world a few years back was the introduction of video to online slot machines. In days of yore, online slots machines were complex combination of mechanical devices and small electronic motors called servos, that controlled an intricate assembly of spinning reels, switches, and levers.
Eventually they became quite complicated, but there was a limit to what could be done with a mechanical device in a given space. But with the invention of the modern computer and high quality video graphics, slots were thrust into a new world of endless possibilities. With the physical reels replaced with screens, and the mechanical guts supplanted with advanced software, online slot machines could finally offer any combination of specialty games and betting variations imaginable.
These days when you sit down at your computer to play online slots, you are tapping into an amazingly colorful world of interactive amusement. Any given online casino now offers a variety of different online slots games.
Players from all over the world can play slots online without any restrictions. Online slots do not differ too much from traditional slots machines, so everyone can easily start playing slots online!
A Look at the iPhone's Designer Jonathon ive
There is much talk over who initially designed the iPhone and while many years it has been credited to Steven Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc, the truth behind the iPhone's creation is now being given to Jonathan Ive. Steven Jobs is no doubt the marketing genius behind the sleek and desirable look that the iPhone has taken but the master mind behind the concept is Mr. Ive.
Jonathan Ive is an English born designer that was raised in Essex and did all his schooling in the UK. In 1992 he moved to the United States to pursue a career with Apple Inc where he now serves as the Senior Vice President to the company. Ive has been on the cutting edge with Jobs in seeing the iPhone become what it has become today. The iPhone has changed the way we see cell phones and Ive has won countless awards for this design. Of course this was a group effort and Ive does compliment and make note that it was the entire brilliance of the Apple team that saw this fascinating piece of equipment become the mainstream, versatile entity is has today.
Jonathan Ive and Steven Jobs collaboration on computer alternatives throughout the last two decades has seen Apple return as front runners of the modern digital era and gives Microsoft the only competition on the computer market. The iPhone is working to knock down the compatibility barrier that Microsoft is so reluctant to let go of. The creation of the iPhone is looking to combine both Windows and Mac OS X into the same language for the first time in history. Aside from this, iPhone has become the standard in which we are going to set on wireless, portable devices.
Verizon Wireless is trying to get in on the action as well with the new release of the Verizon Net Book and this seems like nothing more than an attempt to answer the call iPhone is making to the consumer market. The use of the iPhone on both the Internet and Mobil Web leaves the options open to just about any application or program that can be written to be compatible with the iPhone format. There is nothing other than a BlackBerry that even comes close to the potential of an iPhone. The stylus that is used with a Blackberry makes it incomparable to the touch screen on the iPhone and does not measure up in terms of functions, features, possible upgrades, and customization.
The iPhone is no doubt going to change the way we view the Internet and people are doing nothing but adding to wide array of potential that surrounds it. Jonathan Ive should be known as the man who changed the face of computer technology as we know it. Being the designer of the iPhone as catapulted him and Apple to the forefront of the modern era. Apple has already shaped the way we get music by making CDs virtually useless and now we might even see the collapse of a hard drive with cloud computing and devices like the iPhone by creating a whole new world of connection. The future looks bright for Ive, Jobs, and Apple Inc and any gadget lover has to be waiting anxiously over their next move.

Cedeno's play could alter Padres SS plans
Gyorko trails Atlanta's Evan Gattiis for the major league lead in homers by a rookie. Gyorko's 25 doubles are tied for third among major league rookies giving him a major league-leading 44 extra-base hits among rookies.
--The Padres 30-10 record in their first 40 games at PNC Park is the third-best record in the history of major league baseball for a visiting team at the new ballpark of team. The Minnesota Twins were 32-8 in their first 40 games against the Washington Senators at what became RFK Stadium. And the Phillies were 30-9-1 in their first 40 games against the Mets at Shea Stadium.
--The pain returned to Yonder Alonso's right hand Monday night after he took batting practice in the cage. "I'm still trying to make it happen, but it didn't feel well after I hit," said Alonso, who said he will continue to try to play in 2013. "It might not work out this season. What's going to be horrible is that it's going to feel great a month after the season ends."

5 Americans among 7 dead in Peru chopper crash
The Chinook that crashed was one of two helicopters Columbia has in Peru.
The company has temporarily grounded six Chinook helicopters for a thorough inspection, Petersen told The Oregonian newspaper, adding they are expected to be out of service two to three days. He didn't immediately respond to an Associated Press phone message after business hours Tuesday to confirm that.
In addition to the second Chinook helicopter in Peru, Columbia has one in Afghanistan on contract to the U.S. military, three in Papua New Guinea and one in the shop in Oregon, The Oregonian reported.
Lance, who said he has been with Columbia Helicopters for 33 years, said it has been at least a decade since a company aircraft crashed.
Its last fatal crash occurred in Canada in 1997 when a Boeing BV-234 engaged in heli-logging operations on Vancouver Island crashed, killing both pilots aboard. Canadian authorities blamed an electrical overload.
According to U.S. National Transportation Safety Board records, in October 1996 a Columbia Helicopters Boeing BV-107 lost control during a maintenance check flight and crashed three miles from the Aurora, Oregon airport, killing both pilots and the onboard mechanic. The NTSB listed a maintenance failure as the probable cause.
In addition to petroleum exploration, Columbia Helicopters provides services to industries including logging, construction and fighting wildfires, according to its website.
It bills itself as "the only operator of the commercial models of the CH-47 Chinook and H-46 Sea Knight helicopters."
Associated Press Writers Carla Salazar in Lima and Steven DuBois in Aurora, Oregon, contributed to this report.

The government of India is committed to formation of Telangana, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Tuesday on the issue of separation of states.
He urged all the political parties to make the best use of time available during parliament's short winter session beginning from 5 December 2013. "It should be everybody's endeavour to make best and optimal use of time available to the two houses," he stated.
Talking to reporters after an all-party meeting convened by Speaker Meira Kumar, the prime minister said that the government would do everything in its power to ensure smooth functioning of both the houses in the winter session for formation of Telangana.
Members expressed concern at the short duration of the session, saying several important issues had to be discussed but there were only 12 working days. They said the government too had heavy legislative agenda.
Leaders of parties in the Lok Sabha attended the meeting.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) demanded bill on formation of Telangana and discussion on price rise. Asked about the demand for creation of Telangana, the prime minister reiterated the fact that the government was committed to it.
"(We are) committed to formation of Telangana," the prime minister said, and added that the government would follow the process of law for creation of the new state.
The prime minister sought cooperation of members in the smooth functioning of parliament.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath told reporters later that several parties expressed their views for extending winter session of parliament after a break for the Christmas and the government would take a view on the issue after wider consultations.
He said that the parties have agreed to bring the bill on Telangana in the winter session. "It will be (our) endeavour to have the bill as early as possible," he told reporters.
BJP leader Sushma Swaraj told reporters that the party wanted passage of both the bill on Telangana and the Lokpal bill in the winter session.
Communist Party of India leader Gurudas Dasgupta said his party would bring an adjournment motion on the price rise at the beginning of the session and sought support from opposition parties.

I'm not very "techy" so i have trouble uploading my contacts which are on my Gmail account, as well as my calendar
I know there is googa sync for the calendar, but is there another way?
Thank you for your help

Alternatively (and much easier), you can set up your Gmail account as a Microsoft Exchange Account on the phone and Contacts and Calendar will automatically sync. You might need to enter the server manually as m.google.com and that's it.

I have tried following steps to sync my gmail contacts:
- New mailbox
- Exchange Active Sync
- mail address: email@example.com
- password: gmail password
- username: which user name? is it nokia user name that i have to enter?
- domain: google.com
Popup appears
its best to not to use any other sync apps for your apps after this setup is finished.
pressed 'ok'
- keep phone contacts
- Delete phone contacts (I choose this to avoid duplicate entries that are there on phone)
Following popup appears:
Mandatory server policy failed. Access was refused. Contact your administrator.
pressed 'ok'
So basically I am unable to sync contacts from my gmail. Kindly help.
Edit: Now I see an option of 'Noki Sync' in contacts. Is it different from 'Exchange Active Sync' at least the name suggests so. So how exactly I sync contacts now? Exchange Active Sync is not working but I was warned that I should not use other syncing apps after setting up Exchange Active Sync.

Hi @geekgirl0 ,
First and most important, since January 2013 a paid subscription is required to setup Gmail as MfE on Symbian phones. There is also some potential trouble regarding outdated certificates on the phone and other stuff, and I can not guarantee it is even possible to make it work.
If others have successfully done this on a Symbian phone, please chime in!
So first confirm if you have purchased the required subscription, and if this is what you really want?
Some background information:
The most obvious solution is to purchase another phone with built-in support for all Gmail features. Which will have to be a device with an operating system created by Google, or a device that Google find important enough to support with official applications and services. The only official Google app for Windows Phone is a search app ...
Keep us posted.

Hi Hans,
Thank you so much for the reply. I have broken my Note 2 glass accidentally and it looks like I will have to move back to a basic Android phone till I get it repaired. I can't use my gmail on Nokia, neither can I sync my online contacts from the mail. Well, that's a bummer.
Your help is much appreciated
Thanks again.
Edit: No, I don't have a paid subscription for that service. So basically I'll keep using Android I guess :-/
20-11-2014 15:44 - edited 20-11-2014 15:54
Thanks for the feedback. The Nokia 808 unfortunately became obsolete shortly after its launch. It is still traded and valued for its unique camera, but is no longer developed. There are several workarounds possible, which may work as temporary solutions. Some of it a bit nerdy, but please ask in this forum if you decide to go for it and need further help.
In the phone browser, go to m.google.com - there is still web access to Gmail, Youtube and an old Symbian app for Maps. I do not have a Google account to check how much is possible via the phone browser, but else the contacts can be exported from Gmail on a PC and imported to the phone. This may require the Nokia Suite on a PC.
It is possible to set up Gmail as IMAP or POP. The email setup guide in the phone should work. EDIT: If that fails, Google has the manual setup information on https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/166
I am not sure what to do about the calendar.
Contacts are not sync'ed automatically with this setup.
For a home user with some patience and determination it can work, but not for professional business users.

The world is extremely diverse in its spread of native languages. Yet only a handful are commonly spoken by the majority of the world, about 2/3. Over half of the world's languages are expected to go extinct because of the extreme diversity and the minimal distribution which means that in some places almost every person speaks a completely different language and many are dying as their last speakers do not pass it on to their children.
This article is relates to cultural patterns and processes through the geographic spread of languages around the globe and the increasing acculturation that causes the loss of many of these languages in our increasingly globalized world.

this is on point. in today's generation school has become a chore, not because it is boring or uninteresting (and it is) but because that is how we were raised to think. school is supposed to "suck" and we are supposed to hate it with a fiery passion. but if we could integrate the [arts kids love about school into the subjects we don't believe that kids could learn to be excited about Knowledge and the expanse if possibility it holds.

How to Fix a Slow Mac?
I have an intel core duo imac, and it has been running slow. What's a good way to get it running like it did when I bought it? Clean it up?
|Jan 26, 2008, 11:00 AM
With safari you could always clean out your caches etc..
System- uninstall uneeded programs make sure that you have ample free space.
I personally just re-install the OS.. I think it's more of a psychological thing, in any case that works too.
|Jan 26, 2008, 11:50 AM
As per the OP's original question:
Are you using Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) or Mac OS X 10.5.x (Leopard)?
1. Clear Safari's cache, that way you don't have eons of internet cruft floating around on your computer. You can do this by clicking "Safari" in the menu bar and then click on "Empty cache". This will delete all of the cached pictures, HTML pages, etc that you've viewed on the internet.
2. Use a utility like "OnyX" to run all of the maintenance scripts on the Mac or leave it run overnight without sleep mode so that these scripts run.
3. Uninstall applications that you don't use -- if you installed "Application A" last year and you no longer use it, it's probably safe to remove it. Just don't remove the applications that come with Mac OS X.
4. Burn old or unused files to a disc like a CD or DVD and then remove them from your hard disk to reclaim some hard drive space.
5. Make sure you don't have a lot of images or other files on the desktop, as Mac OS X will render thumbnails and your computer may "feel" slower.
6. Repair disk permissions by running Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app) -- select your hard drive and click on "Repair permissions".
7. Last but not least, once you've done all of this, restart.
This should help bring your system back to "good-as-new" status. You could also try an "Archive and Install" if you're really feeling up to it.

To understand what to do about fixing a slow-running computer, one must first consider the potential factors involved in impacting system performance.
Disk Space (Total vs. Free):
There's a threshold below which it probably doesn't matter how much data you have on your hard drive. However, once you start really loading the HDD up, you're basically starting to interfere with Mac OS X's ability to generate, keep and use swap files (these are the container files used for virtual memory functionality). If you impact this sufficiently, you will notice system performance degradation, but more likely than not you'd notice stability issues first.
RAM (Total vs. Free):
Other than CPU usage (see below), this is generally the single biggest culprit in performance reduction of otherwise normally-functioning systems. It may be time to upgrade your RAM, or it may be you just have too many things being held in it (that is, you've left large documents open in the background, or you're running apps that are just memory hogs, or there's a memory leak somewhere, etc.) Usually, if this is the case, simply rebooting will resolve it.
CPU Usage:
The more things (OS, drivers, so-called "userland" apps, etc.) you have running, the more of a performance hit you'll get, no matter anything else about your computer. There are various utilities you can use to see what's going on, or you can just bring up a terminal window (Applications > Utilities > Terminal) and type in "top". That will bring up a list of the top things on your system, and show you amongst other things their CPU %, which tells you how much of a load they're putting on your system. (Oh, and when you're done using top, just type "q" to quit out of it. Then go ahead and quit out of the Terminal app.)
Bad RAM and/or Bad HDD:
Too often these kinds of hardware issues are nebulous in their symptomology, and are like that itch you can't quite scratch. Depending on the degree and/or type of failure, your computer may still pass it's POST, and your HDD might still pass SMART. Typically there will be some degree of corrupted data associated with these failure modes, but often as not what gets corrupted (but is beyond your ability as a user to perceive directly) is the OS and/or swap files, etc. Failed HDDs in particular can have the symptomology of slower and slower data access or data writing speeds.
Now, I'm not trying to scare you or make you go out and buy new RAM and a new HDD, but you should be aware of all the factors involved.
Ultimately, if you've tried every other diagnostic and troubleshooting approach, nuke and pave your system, and see how it behaves. IF you go this route, don't put the computer back into a production mode until you are absolutely certain there are no further lingering issues. You do that for two reasons. First off, if the HDD (or RAM) is in the process of failing, all you're going to wind up with is more corrupted data, data which might well be important to you. Second, when you start adding things to the system, you add to the complexity of the situation, and prevent yourself from being able to truly isolate the problem.
Having been a tech most of my adult life, naturally I've run across numerous instances of failed hardware. All that means is that I've had a higher statistical likelihood of seeing a hardware failure since, on the whole, hardware failures are generally pretty rare. In MOST cases, this kind of problem is either software-induced or user-induced, not hardware-induced.

Taghi Farvar who promotes ecological farming among nomads in Iran has unusual wish of his country be subjected to more international sanctions, if only to enable it to attain food sovereignty.
"These sanctions practically reduced oil production to one third of what it was and made it look for innovative alternatives, away from the model of exporting oil and importing food grains", he told The Hindu on the sidelines of the COP 11 CBD.
"I say this with conviction as the food for oil is not a sustainable model. Apply squeeze to get the best out of a country as then it would be forced to depend on indigenous food production. More than food security, it is food sovereignty that is important and then you can ward off threats from the new imperialists".
Mr. Farvar of Centre for Sustainable Development (CENESTA), said long years of dependence on oil made Iran lose out native varieties of wheat and barley. "We started restoring the situation virtually seed by seed, getting some from the seed bank of the International Centre for Agriculture Research and Development in Arid Land."
Through a participatory and "evolutionary" plant breeding programme among indigenous people, 1600 varieties of these crops were revived, on lands that they were traditionally dry and drought-prone. In doing so we disproved the myth that illiterate farmers are incapable of taking up such research based programmes. Their native knowledge keeps them in good stead, which is often undermined.
Along with ecological farming native breeds of sturdy two-humped camels, cattle and sheep that thrive in adverse conditions were reintroduced, he said.
A similar experiment was shared by Sutej Hugu of Tao Foundation on a tiny 45 square km Orchid Island off Taiwan. His worry was to retain the last of the small indigenous population of 2000 in the island and introduce youngsters to fishing and farming.
"With limited opportunities in the island, they want to migrate to Taiwan for jobs. They are prepared to work as labourers there than being independent fishers and farmers here. We counsel and try to bring them back", he told this correspondent.
Tourism indeed has come to the rescue of the local communities and that was one reason why they want to stay in the island. "But we ensure that it is sustainable and ecological tourism and does not exceed the carrying capacity of the island".
