Product Details
Add a dose of onstage cool to your everyday: These buttery, stretchy leather leggings will charm your pants off. They are full to the brim with eternal sex appeal, after all.
Leather Leggings
Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JessLee Best Online Purchase Ever These were sold out, so I called the number listed and was quickly assisted in finding a pair in a store that was promptly shipped to me (excellent customer service!) I was nervous because they only had a size smaller than I'd hoped for and they were final sale, but such a good deal that I went for it. I am a curvy pear shape, so shopping for pants in general is a challenge, let alone leather leggings that I haven't tried on. They are perfect. Perfect length, no muffin top, no camel toe, fitted but not too tight, and not bunchy. Buttery soft and gorgeous color (I got marsh green). They might be my favorite purchase ever. I immediately called to try to buy them in another color, but they are of course, sold out everywhere. I'm still thrilled! July 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nellie40 Great leggings I have been wanting a pair of leather pants for some time and was happy when these went on sale. I followed the advice of the previous reviewers and ordered a size down. But, after wearing them all day I'm thinking I probably could have ordered 2 sizes down. The leather is very soft and comfortable. I wore them to work on casual Friday with the Madewell Market Popover in Blustem Plaid and they looked amazing. The reason I gave this item four stars instead of five for appearance is because I don't think they look as pictured on the model. They are more "buttery" as indicated in the description of the item. Overall, I am very happy with this Madewell purchase. Can't wait to wear them again. June 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chupacabra Very stretchy & soft Based on other reviews (check out the reviews for the green color), I ordered a size 4 though I'm usually a 4 on top and a 6 on the bottom. The fit is great! I have some curvy hips and thighs and the leather is so smooth on them. The only complaint I have is the fake front pockets. The look cheap. I kinda wish I would have waited for the other button up leather pair to get marked down, but c'est la vie. They look good if your top covers up those front pockets and waist band. May 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Krizmo2226 Poor fit I wanted these leggings to work so badly, but they just didn't. They run very large and are baggy in strange places. I'm usually a size 6 but both the 4 and the 6 were too big in these leggings. I would have never been able to get the 2 over my hips because there is no zipper, so I just had to return both pairs. They quality is very nice and the price is reasonable but the fit is such a bummer! March 3, 2014

text: Mobile Bankrupt Chinese company still angling for an iPad ban in Shanghai February 22, 2012 11:06 AM J. O'Dell 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Bankrupt Chinese firm Proview, which once held the iPad trademark, is now fighting in Chinese courts to get the iPad banned in Shanghai. Yes, even after a Chinese judge ruled that Apple rightfully held the trademark. Yes, even after Apple threatened to sue Proview for defamation. Today, Reuters is reporting that Proview's lawyers are still appealing for a local court to ban iPad sales in Shanghai, one of Apple's most important markets in China. For the past month or so, Proview has been campaigning hard against the iPad manufacturer. A couple of weeks ago, the company brought a lawsuit against Apple, claiming the iPad manufacturer didn't have the rights to the term "iPad" in China. In fact, Proview had owned the iPad trademark. Although a Taiwanese branch of the company sold Apple the rights to the name more than a decade ago, the Proview parent company said that transaction was legally invalid. The judge in that case ruled in favor of Apple, stating that Proview "attempted to exploit the situation as a business opportunity for the Proview Group by seeking an amount of $10,000,000 from Apple." Apple in turn followed up with a strongly worded letter threatening further legal action, saying, "Making misrepresentations in the press to inflame the situation is adversely affecting the interests of the parties in seeking any resolution of the matter." Now, Proview's attorneys are continuing their arguments in Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Court, which is slated to issue its decision on the matter soon. Apple will have the opportunity to appeal. In a statement to the court, a lawyer on Apple's side of the case said, "Proview has no product, no markets, no customers" and no suppliers. It has nothing… The ban, if executed, would not only hurt Apple sales but it would also hurt China's national interest."

Elma Gardner Farnsworth, 98, Who Helped Husband Develop TV, Dies
Her death was reported by Mary Rippley of the Avalon Care Center, where Ms. Farnsworth lived.
The Farnsworths married in 1926, and Ms. Farnsworth worked by her husband's side, then fought for decades to assure his place in history after his death in 1971.
In his book "Philo T. Farnsworth: The Father of Television," Donald G. Godfrey wrote that the first human images transmitted by Mr. Farnsworth were of Ms. Farnsworth and her brother, Cliff Gardner. A 3.5-inch-square image of his wife with her eyes closed was transmitted on Oct. 19, 1929, Mr. Gardner wrote. The book lists her as the "first woman on TV."
But credit for the invention nearly escaped Mr. Farnsworth after RCA declared that the innovation was the work of its chief television engineer, Vladimir Zworykin.
In 1935, the courts ruled on Mr. Farnsworth's patent, naming him television's father. The decision was upheld on appeal, although Mr. Farnsworth continued to get little recognition.
Mr. Farnsworth gave his wife equal credit in his invention, saying, "my wife and I started this TV," according to Mr. Godfrey.

It is nice to see when the woman of a marriage to a scientist is also acknowledged as a co-inventor for her work by her husband.A scientist too along with tireless advocate of her beloved husband shows a remarkable relationship both as co-workers and as a couple. Pleasing all around and something to strive for by us all.

I am developing an app which has a significant 'reference' section in it. It's information that is very applicable to being created as a set of HTML pages, linking to each other.
I am wondering if anyone knows of a good framework out there to embed HTML pages within an iphone app, to be able to open a specific page by key and any other niceties. The best I've seen so far is CMHTMLView on github.
I know I can load HTML pages directly into a UIWebView, I'm looking to see if there's a framework which does a bit of the boilerplate for for me (e.g. checking for existance of files, be able to cache pages by a keyword, any other niceties like being able to index and search pages). Thanks!

text: There is a concept in economics called a "tournament". It notices that one way to motivate people to do something that you want them to do is to set up a tournament by setting out a goal that many people are willing to work for, and then encourage them to behave in a way that you desire in order to achieve that goal. The tenure process comes to mind immediately when I think of such tournaments, for the tenure process gives us a goal to work for, and in the process we align our behavior with that desired by the university.

2.0 out of 5 stars Self-important
At the risk of setting myself up to be shouted down by all the millions of RTD fans out there... I hated this. Doctor Who itself has become very smug and cliquey over the past couple of years, and this book is much the same. There isn't a shred of modesty here, which becomes very wearing after a while - how many times can RTD say how fantastic, marvellous and wonderful...

5.0 out of 5 stars A review of the second edition paperback,
Ian (Walsall, UK) - See all my reviews
I loved the original Writer's Tale - lovingly presented and fantastic content - and it became one of my very favourite non-fiction books, so I was eagerly looking forward to this extension of the correspondence. When flicking through, my first feeling was slight disappointment - but I'll come back to that.
Firstly, to put that bit about "300 new pages" in context. In its new paperback form, the original book runs to 340 pages, and there's 340 of new stuff in addition - so you've got a new book's worth on top!
But, I do feel that it loses something in a black and white paperback edition. The original was vibrant, with illustrations by RTD dotted throughout plus lots of little photos - so when you read a piece of correspondence or a script extract you could instantly relate it to what you saw on screen. This reprint of book one loses a lot of that.
More than that though, most of the actual scripts that were dotted through the correspondence in book one have been removed in the reprint 'to make space'. (These were the RTD first drafts - you can now get the final versions for some free online.) I felt they added a lot in explaining the development of episode ideas and scripts.
For these reasons, if you're new to this (and can afford the considerable extra expense) I'd recommend buying the beautifully presented original and then this in addition for the new stuff.
As to the new stuff - well the correspondence is as revealing, intimate, witty and fascinating as before. There's no sign that the comments are more self-conscious given the knowledge this time around of their ultimate publication.
So, overall, a slight sense of initial disappointment in the cheaper paperback - I'd have happily paid for a shiny hardback volume two - but the brilliance of the correspondence has to win out overall, so it stays five stars for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the ultimate window into the frantic world of Doctor Who,
Sensible Cat (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale (Hardcover)
There's no shortage of glossy "Doctor Who" books on the shelves but this is by far the most revealing. It digs deep and gives the reader a fascinating insight into the exhaustion, exhileration and relentless hard slog that goes into the flagship show. Read it, even if you don't care for DW, if you want to know the truth about a writer's life. It's very warts-and-all, at times very funny, and always comes over as being honest. You won't get closer than this to finding out why things turned out the way they did. In particular, RTD's thoughts on "Journey's End", the S4 finale, are intriguing and reveal how he copes with the inevitable gulf between his first concept of how a story should end and the version that reaches the screen, subject to the limitations of budget, time, actor availability and overall tone.
Like the Doctor himself, RTD clearly feels under pressure as the man everyone looks to for answers, he finds it almost impossible to relinquish control of his beloved show, yet a part of him longs for a break from the constant creative demands on his energies, preferably before the stress kills him.
There are certainly a few dark nights of the soul here, but also complete versions of the scripts of "Voyage of the Damned", "Partners in Crime" and the explosive two-parter finale, including the early drafts and absorbing explanations for the way things changed later. An extra bonus is a plethora of photographs, some from deleted scenes, and RTD's unexpectedly witty and professional cartoons of cast and characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!,
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale (Hardcover)
An astonishingly enjoyable read. If you've ever even toyed with the idea of writing, this gives you huge insights into the sheer grind and self doubt that goes into trying to get a script out, and it's a fascinating read. The email exchange structure gives a frankness that any other style would probably skirt around and you get a feeling of a genuine professional friendship between the authors. Some of the content might be a little too frank if you were thinking of buying a "Doctor Who" book for the kiddies, because it's not really a "Doctor Who" book - it's a book about writing, and the writing happens to be "Doctor Who". You do end up worrying if Russell EVER sleeps and whether this writing lark is good for his health, you do wonder how anyone finds the time to do that job, and you do get to see another side to the cheery upbeat soul who appears on TV, but that just makes it all the more intriguing. And on top of all his other work, Russell's found time to provide a large number of very inventive cartoons to illustrate the text - you'd have to hate the guy if he wasn't so good at it. The book looks fantastic, too, beautifully laid out. All in all, a big fat Hooray!!
The paperback edition THE WRITERS TALE: THE FINAL CHAPTER followed in January 2010, and all that I said in my review of the original remains pretty true, although the format has been changed radically for that edition. It is a smaller book format and whilst there are full colour photo inserts, the bulk of the reprinted text pages are now black and white, so maybe whilst it's not quite so beautiful to look at as the original, the written content is still as great as it ever was. The biggest surprise with the paperback edition is the addition of 300+ pages of brand spanking new content - making it a stonking doorstop of a book - which covers the period from the end of the last book to the end of Russell's time working on the show - the production of the 5 specials and all the surrounding Who-hah! - which actually quite probably makes it very worth buying all over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've really, really, really enjoyed this one,
Jim J-R (West Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale (Hardcover)
Review of hardback "The Writer's Tale":
'The Untold Story of the BBC series' is what the cover says this book is, but I don't think that quite does it justice. This contains the daily thoughts and feelings of Russell T Davies, the genius behind the new Doctor Who. This is the story of a year in the life of Davies, a man with the craziest life livable, and it's actually truly comforting to know that he's a real person after all - and not some sort of alien genius writer sent to earth to lull us into some sort of TV slavery.
But I digress. Reading this is like seeing the whole of Series Four evolve from the roughest ideas into the finished product. And although you know it will all be okay in the end, the correspondence still generates an urgency and building tension as Russel's deadlines get closer and closer before he has started writing.
In my head, Doctor Who's production was perfect. All the stories were planned out way in advance, the scripts written long before filming commenced. But now I know the truth of it is far more exciting than that - and no one knows how it is going to end until the last possible minute!
My only quibble with this tome is the length of some of the script extracts. These are first drafts of four of Russell's scripts reproduced, bit by bit as they were written. In hindsight though they are vital to the plot - to see how the ideas changed from the beginning to the finished product on our screens.
I can only hope that Russell and Ben continue to communicate, and that they feel it appropriate to publish again! Also, the hints of Who to come are tantalizing... and annoying knowing it's still another year before series five.
Review of expanded paperback "The Final Chapter":
This second book is just as good as the first, although that is partly because the first half of this volume is the text of the first book, just without the scripts. The second half is brand new and covers the time from the end of the first book to the end of Russell T Davies' tenure at Doctor Who in the form of an e-mail exchange between Davies and journalist Ben Cook.
For someone dropping into this without having read the first part there are a few places where the first half doesn't make sense. In the original, scripts in progress were included at the points where Davies sent them to Cook, but to save space these have been removed from this volume. The text still makes reference to these extracts though, and no notes have been added to explain where they were meant to be.
Honestly, I didn't find the second half to be as enjoyable as the first. The two authors seem to be more comfortable with each other and Ben is less 'invisible' than before. The discussion tends to be less about writing Doctor Who and more of a biography of Davies - both his history and day-to-day life. The e-mails become longer and longer throughout, which isn't a bad thing but loses some of the informality of the original book.
Overall though it's still a good book. It's absolutely huge, and addictive reading - it almost makes you feel like you are part of the conversation and actually know the participants. I'm just hoping that the story doesn't stop here, and that Ben can continue to correspond with Davies though his next projects, or with Steven Moffat who has taken over Doctor Who.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading,
TracyA "Cambridge Mummy" (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale (Hardcover)
Predictably witty and honest, this is a book that will be enjoyed by Doctor Who fans and aspiring writers alike. What really comes across is that Davies is passionate about the show he resurrected and is often tortured by his perceived shortcomings as a writer. I can well understand why he's had enough, although I suspect he won't in fact be able to stay away for long.
The e-mail format and excerpts from Doctor Who scripts mean this is a book you can 'dip into' quite easily rather than reading from cover to cover and the writer's own cartoon illustrations are an unexpected bonus - is there anything this man can't do? This would make a fantastic Christmas present for those of us who don't know how we'll make it through 2009 without a Dr Who series.
Of course everybody knows that Swansea produces the best writers in the world, but it's nice to have a bit more proof.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fascinating Insight Into the Making of Doctor Who,
A. Foxley (UK) - See all my reviews
The idea behind the original 'Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale' hardback was simple - head writer and executive producer Russell T Davies corresponded with journalist Benjamin Cook over the course of a year or so, the end result being a kind of diary of the process of writing and overseeing such a large-scale and complex show. The paperback edition, 'The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter', retains this correspondence, but also continues it, almost doubling the page count and bringing the story up to July 2009, effectively the end of Russell's time on the programme. So, as well as getting the inside story of episodes from the Kylie-starring Christmas special 'Voyage of the Damned' right up to the end of Series Four, this edition includes the 2009 specials, David Tennant's departure, and the making of the 'Torchwood: Children of Earth' mini-series amongst other things.
Unlike a lot of the 'Doctor Who' tie-ins (and frankly, TV tie-ins in general), this is a pretty frank account of the nuts-and-bolts of a writer's life - struggling to come up with fresh ideas, the long, hard process of writing and rewriting according to the needs of the production, as well as the mayhem that comes from being a very visible presence at the heart of the media circus surrounding the programme. It's often surprising to see Russell T Davies, who often comes across in interviews as supremely confident and in control, plagued by self-doubt and finding himself staring at an empty page with time running out. Benjamin Cook's involvement is as part-interviewer, part-sounding board - at times he's responding to Russell's comments and suggestions (sometimes in a negative manner, and in at least one instance, prompting a complete rethink on the part of the production team as to the ending of an episode), at others leaping in with great questions for Russell about his life and work, which help to make the book less 'The Thoughts of Chairman Davies'.
As someone who had read the original hardback, I was unsure about the prospect of an expanded paperback edition - but the sheer amount of new material here means that this feels more like two books in one, a sequel of almost equal length bundled with the original. As such, it's well worth a read even for those who've got the hardback - the new stuff is particularly fascinating as it tells a slightly different story, not so much the production of a series that has, to an extent, settled down to a regular kind of schedule, but a mad scramble to assemble and write a series of specials whose format seems to be constantly in flux in the run-up to production, owing to concerns about scheduling, budgets, the logistics of production and so on. Add to this the cloak-and-dagger activity of announcing David Tennant's departure, and innumerable public appearances including the promotion of the original 'Writer's Tale' book, and it becomes a considerably more varied volume than the original.
Both fascinating for would-be writers or 'Doctor Who' fans alike, 'The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter' is probably the most enjoyable book on either subject that I've ever read. It's refreshingly frank, full of insight, and is terrific value. Whether you've got the original or not, this really is essential reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Compelling,
Mr. J. L. Silk (Berks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale (Hardcover)
A very compelling read that you will find very hard to put down. Partially due to interesting subject matter but also the easy to read 'e-mail' format and exchanges.
This is not a book for all Dr Who fans. The text can be very adult and Russell's 'constant' homo-erotic feelings about actors in the shows would not suit all, although I found it very funny.
The big strength of the book however is Russell's honesty. This is really honest stuff, with high angst, stress and doubt all the way through. Clearly Russell has too much 'on his plate' (he says on several occassions it is killing him) and this book explained to me why series 4 of Dr Who was so inconsistant in it's quality. You can see that the end of the series was really a reunion/say goodbye and much of it had the feeling of being 'cobbled' together and being pulled in.
You also get the idea that Russell has no one to bounce ideas off, and at times he regrets this. All the while dismissing any criticism and opinions he finds on the net, in the media etc. But what he says goes, and although he has sought this, he does at times seem to regret it.
If you wish to read the 'raw' thoughts of a writer through his year then this book should be top of you list. It is honest, amusing and thought provoking. Russell is a very interesting man who makes for a compelling read.
If you worship the series and all contributors then this is not really for you. It is not a slick 'are we not fine' book. But it all opens up in such a unique way that that most should love it...warts and all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Into a Writers Mind - A Must Read,
Mr. Andrew Higgins "wotan" (London UK) - See all my reviews
This is such a fantastic book on so many levels. It is a brilliant charting of the development of the last season of the most recent Dr. Who told through a series of incredibly insighful (and sometimes stress filled )late night emails The creator of this recent series of Dr. Who - Russell T Davis allows an insight into the mind of the genious behind some of the best television we have ever seen. We get to hear his initial thoughts about what are now iconic episodes of the series and it is very interesting to see how these story grow, change and face the test of production budgets and the dreaded tone meetings (oh if only we had seen Russell's original ideas for the Shadow Proclamation)- but what we also get is a virtual masterclass on how to develop story and characters and create and bring this world to life. It is a page turner (will Russell get episode 4.13 done in time) and he allows you to see all the worry, angst and hard work that he put into these scripts. As an American I now want to watch all the episodes of Bob and Rose!!! A must read - I hope we see more of RTD's genius in the near future - and bravo to Ben who is the fanboy questioner who manages to draw out of Russell T Davis these incredible insights (ususally beween 2-4 am in the morning!) A rare treat!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on scriptwriting I've read to date,
I've been a fan of Doctor Who since it started and more recently have been watching the other products of Russell T. and was equally impressed by them. I'd had a flick of this in a shop and it seemed pretty entertaining, so with a spare tenner I thought I'd give it a go and find out a bit more about the man. I am exceedingly glad I did so, because after only fifty pages I had laughed, learnt and found myself unable to stop reading.
The thing is there are books out there like McKee's 'Story' which go into extreme depth on the basics of storytelling and while being pretty damn dense are good to read because you feel like you're genuinely getting something out of it. With 'The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter' the format of emails sent back and forth between Russell and producer Benjamin Cook (the majority and longest are from Russell himself) go a long way to make it much more accessible to a younger person while the ideas explored like the motives behind writing are interesting and so openly discussed it's entertaining to an older or more experienced writer.
They discuss ideas that no other book seems to in the same way while giving you a nice insight into how Doctor Who (and other shows of the same type) are created - from page to screen. The more I read it, the more I respected and admired Russell and his talent as a writer.
If you want a book that will tell you how to format and the conventions of genres then get a generic book on scriptwriting but if you want a personal, interesting and funny read that will make even the most experienced writer go away and think then get this book. As an aspiring scriptwriter myself this has been the most useful and enjoyable book I've read to date, and what's more it doesn't fill you with false hope telling you, 'you could be the next big thing!' as many other books on writing tend to, it shows you the hard reality of writing.
In fact according to Steven Moffat 'If you still want to be a writer after reading this book, you probably will be.'
Writers and Doctor Who fans - this book is essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars On Writing,
Greycat "druid_cat" (Derby, UK) - See all my reviews
On Writing
This book shuld be mandatory reading for any aspiring writers out there, science fiction and otherwise.
It contains more information about the writing process than any other book I've read (including those written specifically for that purpose).
Essentially, this is a collection of emails between RTD and journalist Benjamin Cook (with some lovely photos and sketches to brighten things up), through discussion about the development, impact and sheer joy of writing something that has become internationally successful. But it's so much more than that.
Yes, there's lots of joking around. Think of the emails you write (never intended for publication) - flippant comments, discussion of new TV shows, chaps you fancy, drunken whingeing. That's there too. And it simply makes us aware over and over again that these are Real People. Not 'Celebrities' - just two men talking. You will laugh out loud, more than once.
RTD is clearly a writer through to his bones. He'd be writing even if he wasn't successful - despite the inevitable neuroses gained by tapping away into a laptop in the small hours of the morning, he's compelled to simply tell stories. And his sense of fun, wonder and slight shock that people like his work is clearly displayed.
It's in his attempts to put into words an extremely personal, visceral and amorphous process - writing itself - that makes this book into a true gem. Those nights spent procrastinating before a deadline. Times when the ideas just don't come. Huge flurries of work as the muse strikes, only to have key ideas rejected. Having an entire universe (and more) in your head, of which only a fraction finally appears in public.
The Timelord that he writes about here may have an entirely other life outside of RTD's (unconfinable by any single individual, in fact), but in terms of this book, his tale is simply a frame by which we learn about story, character and the human feeling that goes into their creation.
If you want to write fiction, read this.

"Bottom line: There's no time to be sentimental or to give me too long of a leash. If I can't get it done, I shouldn't be out there."

Elements Aqua by Hugo Boss
Like it: spicy opening that flattens out quite warm and pleasant. I also detect an aquatic element, so I guess it's named correctly. That said, this fragrance sticks close skin and fades into obscurity rather quickly. Perhaps the solution is to hose it on.

Sailfish Capital Partners experienced severe redemptions last year but, contrary to published reports, the firm says it's in no danger of blowing up anytime soon.
The Stamford, Conn.-based shop's Multi-Strat Fixed Income Fund declined 13.5% last year, losing more than 12% in August alone, as the credit crisis peaked. Worse still for the hedge fund, the two-year lockup period for its initial investors expired that very month, precipitating a rush for redemptions.
Last month, investors yanked about $400 million from the fund, after the credit market weakness spiked in November. The fund's performance tumbled another 4.8% in December.
The fund, which had about $1.9 billion in assets as recently as July, now manages just $980 million, a pair of investors told Bloomberg News.
A spokesman for the firm confirmed the firm's losses but said its assets were not lost in the way that Sowood Capital Management or Bear Stearns lost their capital.
"Those firms lost money primarily through market action, but these were redemptions that were planned to occur when the lockup period ended," he said, adding that that is where the majority of the assets have gone.
He added that the firm has "never had troubles with any of their [prime brokers]" and "this is by far not a blowup."
Sailfish was founded by SAC Capital Advisors veteran Mark Fishman and former UBS Securities global fixed-income chief Sal Naro.

Bill Kiernan is a candidate for the position of Lowville town justice.
I have known Bill for many years. Let me describe what I see when considering him for this position.
He has a treasure house of experience with the laws of New York State as a retired New York State trooper. He has judicial temperament. By this I mean he has a calm, quiet authority about him.
I am impressed with his careful, well thought-out approach to problems that is never hurried but always effective. I believe this would translate to a judge with the judicial demeanor we all want.
Vote on Nov. 5, and keep Bill Kiernan in mind. He will do a great job for us!

We used the Novotel Nadi to "Leap-Frog"
We used the Novotel Nadi to "Leap-Frog" out to various areas in Fiji - and for this, it was exceptional. Nadi main street we found tiresome, with a ridiculous number of Sword-Sellers, Shopkeepers and Salespeople trying for for custom/money. One
set of people we spoke to were chased while driving their hire car through the main street, by someone trying to sell their wares! Hence, the excellent location of the Novotel Nadi (about 10-15 minutes drive from this area), and wonderfully handy to the airport, which offers flights and bus pick-ups from straight out the front, for both north and south-bound routes. The South Seas Cruises (services the Mamanuca Island group) also offers a courtesy pick up from this hotel. The Novotel also has an excellent restaurant, with delicious food, at fairly reasonable rates. The staff were lovely all round...we would definitely stay here again. Excellent value for money!
Good Service and Location
The hotel is near the airport and offers a free shuttle service. The staff is very efficient by Fijian standards. The hotel is quite dated though inside and the rooms and facilities could use a facelift.
Would not recommend
short trip
- a/c was not working
- food is ok, nothing special though
- pool, gym are ok
Low Cost & Good Quality
We were pleasantly surprised to discover that this hidden gem has modern decor, and great facilities and amenities at an affordable price! Only wish we had booked with Novotel for our prior hotel bookings.
Happy trip
Good to stay with pool and restaurants.
Also, staff are very kind!!!!!!!!!
Sad comedy of repairs that were needed
Disappointing, we booked a Queen-sized room, were given a double bed in a room where the phone didn't work and the lock on the patio door didn't work. So they moved us to a "better room" with a king-sized bed.
In that room, during the rain
storm, it rained in the bathroom. The floor light switch didn't work. The ceiling fan squeaked. The towel rack literally fell of the cabinet. A seven centimetre cockroach was seen earlier.
We had stayed previously at the Novotel in Nadi and ben very pleased. This time, our impression was that the management was not maintaining the hotel at all. The degradation of quality and room integrity was severely noticeable. If you can't even keep the roof from leaking and causing your to be drenched while sitting on the john . . . that is fairly horrible.
THe Indigo Restaurant at Denarau Port is excellent. Well worth the taxi ride.
Quick Pleasant Stay
Nice Clean Facility
Good Gym, good food, reasonable price
Rooms are too dark.
Take a Taxi to Jack's and look around and then shop there or nearby. However, if you are in a rush, prices at the duty free as you leave for some of the same items are at least 10% less.
Not again
We stayed here as last minute arrangements fell through. Conveniently close to airport but far from town and other area attractions. Felt more like a motel than a full service hotel. Only one restaurant-pricey and limited selections. Was given
a room that was already occupied! Imagine their surprise when we tried our key and entered their room!
Long drive by taxi to Nadi town and other hotel areas.

Data Flow Diagram of a College Course Management System document sample
Digitally signed by Poshan Raj Basnet DN: CN = Poshan Raj Basnet Location: Kathmandu Date: 2008.05.22 21:53:38 +05'45' TRIBHUVAN UNIVERSITY EVEREST COLLEGE Bachelor of Business Administration OVERVIEW OF STUDENT INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Sunday, April 08, 2007 Prepared By: Coordinated By: Poshan Raj Basnet Prajwol Shrestha As per the requirement of the syllabus of Bachelor of Business Administratrion (BBA), 5th semester we are required to prepare a project report in the System Analysis Design and Development of Information System on any of the field. Hence we have prepared a report on how System Analysis, Design and Development of Student Information Management System help in systematic access to the student informations managed by an academic institution. We attempt to make the application of Student Information Management System to the Everest College. It becomes essential to make a proper managed Student Information System so that there can easy access to the student's records and get the desired information to whom it may be required. After all it is far better than the tarditional approach. We would like to thank our facilitator Mr. Prajwol Shrestha for approving, assisting and guiding me throughout this project. I would like to thank BBA department for providing lab to perform our work. I would also like to thank all my friends for their valuable suggestions and comments. TOPIC Page No: 1.

DESCRIPTION OF DFD DIAGRAM 7 7. CONCLUSION 9 Fig 1.1 Context Diagaram 5 Fig 2.1 Level 0 DFD Diagram 6 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM: When information systems are designed to provide information needed for effective decision making by managers, they are called Management Information Systems. MIS is a formal system for providing management with accurate and timely information necessary for decision making. The system provides information on the past, present and project future and on relevant events inside and outside the organization. It may be defined as a planned and integrated system for gathering relevant data, converting it in to right information and supplying the same to the concerned executives. The main purpose of MIS is to provide the right information to the right people at the right time. MIS does the following function: - sub serves managerial function - collects, stores, evaluates information systematically and routinely - supports planning and control decisions - Includes files, hardware, software, software and operations research models. Advantages of MIS: 1. It facilitates planning. 2. It minimizes information overload. 3. MIS encourages Decentralization. 4. It brings Co-ordination. 5. It makes control easier. 6. MIS assembles, process, stores, retrieves, evaluates and disseminates the information. STUDENT INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: Every semester, departments within the university schedule course offerings. These course offerings indicate the sections of each course that will be offered, who will teach each course-section, where the course will be taught, and the days and times when the course will be taught. The maximum enrollment in each course-section is 1 also indicated to the registrar. Obviously, each department can offer many course- sections in a semester; howeve, each course-section offering can be associated with only one department. Courses need not necessarily be offered every semester, and each course can have multiple offerings during a semester (i.e., multiple sections of the same cours, possibly taught by different instructors). Instructors could be teaching many courses in a semester, but it is also possible that an instructor is not teaching any course during a particular semester (again, perhaps in the summer). One and only one instructor must teach a coruse. The class schedule for each semester published by the Registrar's office provides a summary listing of all course-section offerings for all departments. Prior to each semester, the registration processs occurs—students register for courses based on the course offerings listed in the semester schedule. The sytem first ensures that the student is a valid student at the institution. The student's request is then verified to ensure that it is complete, that the course requested is a valid course, and that the enrollment limit has not already been reached. In case of errors (invalid student, course, of if the class is full), the student is notified by the system and the process ceases. If there are no errors, the student is registered for the course. A student can register for one or more courses, and there could obviously be many students signing up for one course. The registrations, therefore, comprise students who have successfully signed up for each course. Upon successful completion of the registration process, students receive a confirmation of their schedule over the phone and also by mail or they can colect it from the administrative department. Periodically, the registration date are accessed and used as a basis for billing students. Fee statements are mailed to students who have regitered for courses. Before classes begin each semester, departments receive class rosters showing students who are registered for each course being taught by the department. A number of registration reports are generated from the registration data every semester and provided to the Registrar's office. 2 Everest College is a renowned institution for the study of 10+2, Bachelor and Master's Progrmmes. But focussing on to the BBA stream, the BBA facluty is located in Thapathali, Kathmandu. It has got above 200 students altogether studying in different semesters. Since the number of students is growing, and the management has to handle records of lots of students, it is facing a little bit problems in maintaining the record of the students. Though it has used an Information System, but it is totally manual one. And hence there is need of upgrade of the system to that of the Computer Based Information System (CBIS). The college has computers in every department, but they are used just for the paper works and for simple jobs as creating applications, typing the notices, creating attendence sheets, etc. 3 Developing a proper managed SIMS for the Academic Institution becomes the essence to let the users – students, guardian, teachers and others to gain the information about the institution. In this recent world, it becomes the necessity for the educational institution to have a managed Computer Based Information System. The objectives can be listed below as: • To provide a proper registration channel / system to the new students. • To maintain all the accounts of the students in digital form from enrollement upto the end of the study. • To update the information that is essential to transmit to the users. • To make the informations available to the departmants at their desk whenever required, in just a click away. • To have a centralized control over the records of the students, departments, teachers, staffs, library, etc. and monitor the changes in these records. 4 The overall design for SIMS in the form of Context Diagram is illustrated below. Inputs to the process are received from students (who make registration requests), from faculty (who request faculty information / course information they would like to teach), administration (who provide information about their course offerings for a semester), and library (who request for student validity check). Outputs from the registration process include class schedules and fee statements to students, teaching assignments to instructors, students fees paymet information, University Degree, and class rosters to departments showing the students registered for each of the department's courses.

He/She might first interact with the administartion department or reception department or he/she may go to the library first. Starting from the registration process, a student may come to the college for the admission in a particular faculty and for a particular course and subject matter. He/She submits the registration form and student registration form processing is handled by the College Administartion Information Process. 1.0 College administration Information Process then stores the student information in the Administration information database and to the student information database. It too collects informations from the account database to know about the student's payments records and from the faculty process about the faculty information. It sends the course information to the course information process for further processing. 2.0 Faculty information process is responisble for sending the faculty information to the College administration Information Process, all the faculty information which will be useful for the instructors and separating the sections of the students. 3.0 College Accounting Information Process accepts the payment from the students and delivers them a receipt. It stores the accounting data of the students into the account data. It too may access the student database for updating the student payment details and to categorize the payments cleared students relating to various sections and semesters. 4.0 Course Information Process accepts the course information from the College administration Information Process. It sends the course completed information to the course completed database. And offer schedules to the students, asignments to the faculty. 5.0 Examination Process takes the course details and course completed details from the Course examination database and prepares the examination schedules and offer it to the students. It is responsible for processing all the informations realted to the examination (other informations like. postponement notice, exam location, time, etc.). 7 6.0 Membership registration process related to the Library management; also have to create the membership for the newly admitted students.They check the validity of the students against the student information database. And finally issue the membership card to the new students. The registartion information is revied by the library personnel. The system too accesses the member's database for maintaining the members records (add, delete and update membership of students) and to tarck information about the current members. 8 To sum up, developing a computer based information system for Everest College was a matter of essence. It will be a medium for the College Managememt Sytem for the proper management of the student's infromations in an organized way. It is now essence for the organization to transmit the student's records on to the system, without crawling in various departments. The conclusions can be summed up into the following points: • The CBIS has made the easy flow of informations form one department to other. • Since the data are organized in a database, and are secure in computer system, the complaint of loss of information is not heard again. • The personnel seems to be satisfied with the system. They were eager to adopt it. • The information overload problems on certain departments get minimized. 9
