ANIMAL FACTS - Raptors
Wedge-tailed Eagles will live to about 25 to 30 years of age in the wild. This can be doubled when in captivity, with the oldest on record reaching 50 years of age.
Raptors are identified as Birds of Prey that capture their food using their feet. They have three distinguishing features:
- large talons (or claws) used for hunting
- very keen eye sight to target prey
- sharp hooked beak for the tearing up of prey once caught

Lithuania acceded to a U.S. request to extradite suspected Russian arms dealer Dmitry Ustinov, brushing aside Russia's protests that the process was flawed.
Richard Chichakli, an associate of convicted international arms dealer Viktor Bout, was granted permission by a judge to act as his own attorney against charges that he conspired to violate U.S. export restrictions.
Viktor Bout , dubbed the "merchant of death" for allegedly trafficking in arms, pleaded not guilty to U.S. terrorism charges and was ordered held without bail by a federal judge in New York.
Viktor Bout, the alleged international arms dealer once called the "merchant of death," agreed to sell weapons to a foreign terrorist group he believed planned to kill Americans, a prosecutor said.
Thailand extradited Viktor Bout to the U.S. to face terrorism charges, ending two years of legal wrangling over the accused Russian arms dealer dubbed the "merchant of death."
A Thai court rejected a prosecutor's request to drop fresh charges against accused Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout , potentially complicating U.S. efforts to have him extradited to face terrorism charges.
Convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout's former partner was given a five-year sentence by a U.S. judge for his role in a plan to sell weapons to Colombian terrorists.
Russia assailed an American request to extradite a suspected arms dealer from Lithuania, less than three years after failing to stop Thailand's transfer of Viktor Bout to the U.S. for plotting to sell weapons to terrorists.
Russia is asking the U.S. to allow the transfer home of Viktor Bout, a former Soviet air force officer jailed for 25 years for plotting to sell weapons to a Colombian terrorist group.
International arms dealer Viktor Bout, convicted of trying to sell weapons to terrorists, must wait at least another week before learning whether a judge will order a change in his confinement at a federal jail.
"I believe that if Russia clears up what happened and asserts its position confidently and firmly, I will return home very soon."
- Viktor Bout on Apr 12, 2012

Study Questions For New Comrades
Study Questions for New Comrades
Only the Leading Light of revolutionary science will guide us to communism, the end of all oppression. This study guide is to assist new comrades in their explorations of Leading Light Communism, the highest stage of revolutionary science to date. Leading Light Communism is what it means to be a communist today. Every new Leading Light is expected to take up study on their own. Questions are always welcome, but the knowledge of the leadership should not be used as a crutch. Always try to find the answer yourself before asking. Be critical. Read. Read. Read. As you make this journey, your knowledge will have gaps. That is OK. Grasping Leading Light Communism is not like piling blocks on top of each other. It is more like filling in a jigsaw puzzle. Your knowledge will develop in time. Things will become clearer in time.
Those who are just beginning their study of Leading Light Communism should answer the following questions:
1. What is socialism? What is communism? Define both in a sentence or two.
2. What were previous examples of socialism?
3. What is the principal contradiction globally?
4. Who are our enemies? Who are our friends?
5. What is or who are the proletariat?
6. What segments of global society constitute the social base for revolution?
7. What is the social base for revolution in the First World?
8. What is the social base for revolution in the Third World?
9. Who or what is the global bourgeoisie?
10. What should Leading Lights do in the Third World? What is the main form of struggle?
11. What should Leading Lights do in the First World?
12. How is gender in the First World effected by imperialism?
13. What important question(s) does knowing who is and is not exploited answer?
14. How do we establish who is and is not exploited?
15. Is the real Communist Party a party of workers? A party of workers and peasants? A party of the poor?
16. List and explain various forms of oppression.
16. What is revisionism? List and explain at least 3 kinds of revisionism.
Do not worry if you do not understand everything at once. Keep reading. Keep questioning. Keep advancing. As you make this journey, you will advance from level to level. Small steps can lead to great leaps.

Probably the statistics favor White because more people are better with White than with Black. This is most likely because Black has to unbalance the position to play for a win, while White has a tempo advantage in the Opening. Thus, White is easier to play; thus, more wins with White.
I am of the opinion that a perfectly played game will never be played simply because chess is so enourmously complex. We haven't even unlocked all its secrets yet; after nearly 500 years of playing it! (The modern version, anyway.)
In addition, the best move is not relative. Say, for instance, you play for the attack. There could be loads of good moves, but only one that wins. You play it, and win brilliantly. But then let us also speculate that the same position is played by a positional player who is interested in the strategy of the game. To him, the best move is a different one, and he plays it and goes into a winning Endgame. Both players won; both with good moves. Neither of the two moves, however, was better than the other. They were both winning.
On top of all that, some old smart people somewhere estimate that it would take computers hundreds of thousands of years to calculate the first single "best" move in the "best" game ever played. Based on this, I don't think that the perfect chess game will ever be played. In fact, since there are so many different styles and therefore different ways to win in chess, it is theoretically impossible to play a perfect game; even by computers. (Who are, by the way, extremely good at tactics but spotty at strategy.)
I say it's a draw. White starts with the iniative but, with perfect play, black can counter every move. That's my theory. Mankind has spent countless hours over countless boards for hundreds of years trying to settle this argument.
Once and for all.
White picks the attack so I would say white since the winner is usually the person who makes the next to last mistake.
If I play black against Gonnosuke then I have the advantage after playing the Caro-Kann.
Technically, assuming both players never make a mistake, the game's a draw. Even though white has the first move, Black SHOULD be able to equalize. Mistakes and how players capitalize on those mistakes are what decides a game. in an ideal sequance of moves, the games a draw.

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
I am a nerdy, witty, honest, drama free guy that knows how to be a gentleman. Your parents will probably like me. My ideal match would hopefully have her partying days behind her. I'm not looking to get drunk 4 days a week. I want a cultured girl that won't scoff at my wanting to go to a museum but also won't mind watching a ballgame on dollar beer and hot dog night. I am a bit of a smartass but in an adorable way. I'm the kind of guy that'll change your oil for you and open doors for you. The tradeoff is that you would have to come with me to absurd movies like The Expendables. I think that's a fair trade. I'm also a cuddler, so don't all of you message me at one time ok? I don't want to overload match.com's servers. I've come to realize that I'd like the kind of girl that'll accompany me to Bed Bath & Beyond and help me pick out what kind of things to buy. I have horrible taste when it comes to that sort of thing. So by all means, message me if you like what you see but really, hit me back. Just to chat. Truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan.

Middle of the Road
Anywhere that has a cold beer and a ballgame on the big screen is cool with me, I can't say that I enjoy going to the strip or nightclubs unless there's a show or concert. I also like going up to the mountains, Red Rock, Zion. Nature is cool.
Depeche Mode, The Office, classic car shows, patriotism, Amazing Race, sushi, my mom, hiking, netflix, giving back rubs (see what I did there?), drawing, trying new food
I like watching sports, either in person or TV. Museums are actually fun for me. (I'm a nerd, deal with it). Reading, working on my cars (just 2 cars, I'm not Jay Leno). I also brew my own beer so please ladies, don't use me for my beer ok?
The Joy Of Home Brewing was the last book I read. I just started reading a biography on Tesla. My all time favorite book is A Confederacy Of Dunces. Like that book and you'll have me wrapped around your finger.

Wideband frequency response piezoresistive pressure transducers target small vehicle research
The piezoresistive pressure transducers can be used for high-reliability fuel consumption analysis (air-to-fuel ratio), airbag inflation and safety testing, vehicle transmission testing, anti-lock brake systems (ABS) testing, hydraulic systems monitoring, and high-speed train external pressure variations. The Endevco piezoresistive pressure transducer models feature a four-arm strain gage bridge, ion implanted into a silicon diaphragm, for a wideband frequency response.
This unique sculptured diaphragm design produces twice the sensitivity of traditional flat diaphragms, resulting in improved resolution. Integral hybrid temperature compensation of these transducers further provides stable performance over a temperature range of -18°C to +93°C, with custom ranges upon request. Units offer lightweight, rugged construction and small diameters, for installation within space constrained environments. They are offered in multiple ranges with up to 300 mV FSO (depending upon model) and excellent non-linearity of <1% to three times over-range with up to 10X minimum burst pressure, up to 20,000 g shock resistance and high stability in temperature transients.

CopyNight NYC: Aaron Swartz, JSTOR & The Prosecution
CopyNight NY
Monday, January 28, 2013 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (EST)
This is a sad month for internet freedom. Aaron Swartz, the extremely talented young technologist behind RSS technology, Reddit, and Demand Progress took his own life on January 11, 2013. One of the potential contributing factors in his death was the prosecution he faced as a result of his hacking into JSTOR databases at MIT and releasing proprietary scholarly work free as an act of opposition to their business policies.
At this month's CopyNight, we will discuss the case and the implications of the prosecution, whether it was overreach and who or what is responsible. Attorney (admission pending) Phil Weiss will help to clarify some of the legal issues in the case.
In such a sad situation, we pass along our condolences to those who knew Aaron and hope coming to a greater understanding of the situation will be a small tribute to his memory.
Phil Weiss is an associate at Fridman Law Group PLLC. He graduated magna cum laude from Brooklyn Law School with a concentration in information law and intellectual property. During law school, Phil served as an Executive Articles Editor of the Brooklyn Law Review and performed substantial research into the law of telecommunications, First Amendment, copyright, and other cyberlaw issues. Phil is also an alum of Brooklyn Law's Incubator and Policy Clinic (BLIP) where he worked closely with pre-seed tech startups on early-stage legal issues.
Note: CopyNight this month will be on Monday, January 28, at 7PM at Vig Bar, 12 Spring Street.
ALSO: Next month's CopyNight will be a part of Social Media Week! To register please use this link.
CopyNight is a monthly social gathering of people interested in restoring balance in copyright law. We meet over drinks once a month in many cities to discuss new developments and build social ties between artists, engineers, filmmakers, academics, lawyers, and many others.

The pay is generous — $1,000 a month. The risks are enormous. They collect the body of an Ebola victim, avoiding any contact that could infect them. They wear safety garb. And they pray.
The most dangerous moment in a self-driving car involves no immediate or obvious peril.
Sharrock's insight:
This article could be used for discussions about technology, especially for artificial intelligence, robots, and autonomous vehicles. Questions and challenges.
from the article: "Thrust back into control while going full-speed on the freeway, the driver might be unable to take stock of all the obstacles on the road, or she might still be expecting her computer to do something it can't. Her reaction speed might be slower than if she'd been driving all along, she might be distracted by the email she was writing or she might choose not to take over at all, leaving a confused car in command. There's also the worry that people's driving skills will rapidly deteriorate as they come to rely on their robo-chauffeurs."
The domestic National Resources Division might sound like a cushy gig to the James Bond spies, but it has its ways of making you talk
Anonymity, Privacy, and Security Online
"Our team's biggest surprise was discovering that many Internet users have tried to conceal their identity or their communications from others," noted Sara Kiesler, an author of the report and the Hillman Professor of Computer Science and Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon. "It's not just a small coterie of hackers. Almost everyone has taken some action to avoid surveillance. And despite their knowing that anonymity is virtually impossible, most internet users think they should be able to avoid surveillance online—they think they should have a right to anonymity for certain things, like hiding posts from certain people or groups."

Bibble Labs has announced version 4.3 of its RAW workflow software, which now adds support for Nikon's newest DSLRs, the D70s and the D50, as well as Epson's R-D1 digital rangefinder camera. Other new features include an arbitrary rotation tool, plug-in interface, a plug-in to remove lens distortion plus new EXIF Makernotes and faster RAW file processing. Bibble 4.3 is a free update to all owners of any prior version of Bibble 4.
Japanese electronics manufacturer Sanyo Group is to open a $13m digital camera plant in Vietnam's Bien Hoa I Industrial Zone in the southern Dong Nai Province, reports VietNamNet. The factory will be capable of producing 100,000 units a month, which will all be for export, and has been chosen as a 'strategic investment site'. The plant is due to open on September 13.
Among the doom and gloom stories of the last few months, today we get some good news from Nikon that its first quarter profit has soared, Yahoo! News reports. Following several manufacturers reporting profit losses and job cuts, the world's second largest DSLR manufacturer announced an operating profit of ¥13.94 bn ($124.8 m), over four times the ¥3.13bn profit it made in the same period last year. Nikon attributes its success to a shift in focus to the digital SLR market as the low end of the market has become increasingly competitive and often non profitable.
UK high street retailer Dixons has announced today that it plans to stop selling 35mm cameras, following the huge surge in popularity of their digital equivalents. Dixons reports that sales of digital cameras are now outstripping sales of 35mm cameras by 15 to 1 and it says that it will not stock any more 35mm cameras once the current stock runs out. The company says film is now an 'increasingly niche market' and Bryan Magrath, marketing director at Dixons, says that "digital cameras are now the rule, rather than the exception".
Casio has today announced a new five million-pixel model to add to the Exilim range which overcomes the problem that has blighted digital cameras since they were launched. The Exilim EX-Z500 houses a proprietary SUPER LIFE lithium-ion rechargeable battery that can take up to 500 shots on a single charge (a claim also made by Fuji's FinePix F10 Zoom). It boasts a huge 2.7-inch LCD (but no viewfinder) as well as Casio's ubiquitous BESTSHOT modes - a handy 31 of them. The Casio EXILIM Zoom EX-Z500 will be available next month priced £279.99 and comes with a USB cradle for charging the battery, transferring your images or connecting it to a television.
HP has announced plans to stop selling digital cameras in the Asian market. An HP spokesman told dpreview, the company wants to "increase focus on opportunities that offer the highest possible return and where the company can deliver greatest customer value." It will instead turn its attention to home printing in the region, reports ZDNet. The move is thought to be as a result of stiff competition from other manufacturers and follows the news that HP could make up to 25,000 of its workforce redundant. Digital camera sales for the region were not encouraging and research analysts IDC, showed that the company was selling so few cameras last year that it fell into the 'other' category. Outside of Asia however the company performed better, ranking no.5 in the United States and no.7 in Europe and Latin America.
Olympus has reported a 62% drop in profits in the first quarter compared to the same period last year, reports the PMA daily news. In the period April-June 2004, the Japanese company made a net profit of ¥1.06 billion ($9.5 m) compared to ¥403 million ($3.6 m) in the fiscal first quarter of this year. Despite disappointing figures the company still hopes to make a net profit of ¥23 billion ($206 m) in the year to March following its first ever consolidated net loss of ¥11.8 billion ($105 m) in 2004-2005.
Sony has been forced to slash its earnings forecast following a first quarter operating loss that has created 'almighty problems' for the electronics giant, reports The Times. First quarter net losses amount to around ¥7.3 billion ($69.4 m) forcing the company to dramatically cut its forecast earnings from ¥80 billion ($712 m) to ¥10 billion ($89 m). The problems are as a result of poor performance in its TV division as well as falling retail prices of digital cameras. Recently appointed chief executive Howard Stringer and president Ryoji Chubachi are expected to unveil a new strategy in September.
Pretec has announced the first 4GB SD in the world. The card is the newest addition of its high speed line of 133X SD cards, which are available in capacities ranging from 256MB to 4GB. It is also the fastest card, with access speeds of up to 20MB/s. It will be available next month priced $699 (approx. €578). The company also announces the availability of 2GB MMC 4.x card (MMC Plus) today. Pretec has slashed the price of its 12GB CompactFlash card by half price, from $9999 to $4999 (approx. €4136).
Fujifilm has today announced a new E series compact that offers 9 million effective pixels. The matt black FinePix E900, Fujifilm's 'power-packed compact', houses a 5th generation Super CCD HR, Real Photo Technology which is supposed to reduce noise at high sensitivity settings, ISO 80 - 800, 4x optical zoom (32 - 128mm equiv.) and boasts a 2-inch LCD. It also offers full manual control and RAW capture. Pricing and availability is yet to be announced.
Update: We have now added a gallery of sample shots taken with the new Panasonic DMC-LX1, the world's first wide angle compact camera with a 16:9 ratio CCD.
Pentax has announced a new camera into the Optio range. The six million pixel Optio 60 will go on sale next month and is priced $200. The new compact offers full manual control, plus a 2.0-inch LCD screen. The Optio 60 is said to 'lower the learning curve' with a Simple Mode on the mode dial which automatically selects the best focus and settings for the scene. It also offers a 3x zoom (36- 108mm lens), which is pretty much standard on compact cameras.
Adobe has released a new 'lite' version of image management software program Photoshop Album Starter Edition. Version 3.0 is free to download an offers some of the features of Photoshop Album such as basic image editing, organization tools, and the ability to share your images in a slideshow or email them to family and friends.
Cardmedia Europe has announced a new addition to its portable storage range with the 30GB X'S-Drive 2 XL VP2260, which is priced £140. The device has a new long life built-in rechargeable battery for up to two hours use and the LCD shows file transfer status, battery power level and capacity left on the hard drive. It has three card slots which can transfer data from Compactflash, IBM Microdrive, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, SD/MMC and xD-Picture Card media without adapters. A high speed transfer rate can copy data from a 1GB card in eight minutes. The X'S-Drive 2 XL VP2260 is available in 20GB to 80GB capacities.
Kodak is to cut up to 10,000 more jobs, while the company makes the tough transition from film to digital, reports the Altus Times. The announcement coincided with reports of a second quarter loss and shares dropped by more than 2%. The new cuts are expected to affect around 7,000 manufacturing jobs, many in Kodak's home town. Eighteen months ago Kodak announced that it would cut around 15,000 jobs over the next three years. Despite the fact that Kodak will add around 8,000 employees, the workforce will eventually number under 50,000 compared to 86,000 people it employed in 1998.
Electronics manufacturer BenQ has added some credence to its cameras by attaching a Pentax Super Multi-Coated (SMC) lens to them. The first two cameras to benefit from the partnership with Pentax are the E510 and E520, both five megapixels. The SMC system, which was developed in 1971, is suppoed to effectively eliminate surface reflection and flares and deliver sharper and clearer images. Both cameras feature BenQ's proprietary Senseye Technology which is supposed to greatly enhance color performance while significantly reducing image noise.
Panasonic has added three high capacity SD cards to its Pro High Speed, High Speed and miniSD ranges. First up is the flagship 2GB card introduced to the Pro High Speed range. It offers a data transfer rate of 20MB/s and will hit the shops in August with a price tag of €249.99 (US$299). The new addition to the High Speed range is the 1GB SD card available in August for €99.99 (US$119). And for mobile phones with built-in cameras there is a 512MB miniSD memory card, which can store music and images and will be priced €49.99 (US$59) when it hits the shops next month.
Pentax has announced that its profits fell by 42% in the fiscal first quarter, compared to the previous year, reports the International Herald Tribune. Net income fell to ¥261m (US$2.32) from ¥448m (US$3.97m) the previous year. The loss is blamed on ever decreasing profit margins on compact digital cameras and the company says it plans to focus on the "more profitable single-lens reflex digital camera to offset price declines in compact types" as well as "raise the pace of new model introductions to three per year from two, starting this year," says Fumio Urano, Pentax president. Urano said that the company will also cut 300 jobs in the next two years.
Industry analysts InfoTrends/CAP Ventures has reported that unit sales of digital cameras in North America hit a high of 22.2 million in 2004, and the number is continuing to rise. Although the pace at which the market is growing has slowed to 16% from 27%, the market is expected to reach 26 million units this year. Household penetration is also set to rise above half for the first time, at 55%. One of the biggest growth sectors is DSLRs. InfoTrends/CAP Ventures expects the consumer DSLR market to grow 81% in 2005. Research also shows that the market has matured greatly since the introduction of digital cameras nearly 10 years ago, and that by the end of this decade nine out of 10 buyers will be previous owners.
Canon USA has announced that customers with the Battery Grip BG-E2 used with the EOS 20D and 20Da, and a certain serial number range can return their grip/magazine for a free repair/replacement.

"Nice, but issues"
Our room was well appointed and clean, but the much-needed air conditioner in our room was malfunctioning and had to be left off. We had a nice lap pool outside of our back terrace and there is a full-size pool near the large on-site restaurant. There is a new hotel wing being constructed, which has eliminated much-needed parking space and is causing some noise and inconvenience.

"Peace of mind in the heart of Costa Rica!"
We want to share how happy we have been for the two weeks we decided spend in the beautiful quiet town of Manuel Antonio at the Best Western Villas Lirio. The team at the hotel from every position are quite genuine with their kindness. They knew more English than we did Spanish and whether we need a light bulb changed or how to catch the bus back to San Jose, the staff here made sure we were always traveling with information and resolving and request we needed within minutes. We arrived here at 9 PM with little idea (other than online research and a call to the hotel) on what to expect the hotel to look like. After a 17 hour journey from Toronto (from locking our front back in Canada) were were thrilled at the beauty of the hotel. The room was to perfection. All the maple wood ceilings were polished regularly as well as the floors washed daily, the entire property always smelling fresh! A dream patio overlooking the Pacific Ocean as well as two swimming pools on the hotel property, and we got the package that included breakfast in the gorgeous restaurant that looked as though it was buried in its own private rainforest. We had dinner in the restaurant and perfection was the minimal standard in presentation, flavor, and service far better than anything I've had back home in Toronto! The bus stop (only 75 cents US a on average a ride per person to the beach or the city of Qurpos!) and two grocery stores just footstep

"Unusual hotel configuration"
06/29/15 TOM-LINDAS Danville, Illinois
The hotel was built on a slope with a lot of steps and plants once you entered the area. It was a beautiful setting with 2 nice pools. There was an odor problem when we were there due to some construction or maintenance. This was not noticeable in the rooms once the windows were closed and the air conditioning turned on. Wifi in our room was good. Our room was large with 2 beds but there was a table in the way by the door, making the bed on that side of the room difficult to negotiate. The bathroom was nice with 2 sinks and a nice shower. Breakfast was OK but the fruit was not as fresh as it had been at the previous hotels that we had stayed in Costa Rica. There is a market nearby but it wasn't easy to walk in the area outside the hotel due to the lack of sidewalks in some areas. It is very close to the Manuel Antonio National Park.
"The Staff made our stay extra pleasant"
06/20/15 Virginia L Washington DC, District of Columbia
We found the staff at Villa Lirio very accommodating and super friendly. Our reservation was for 2 day with 2 open days and we decided to spend the extra days there because of the location and really loved the hotel. Looking forward going back there soon.
"Hotel has an amazing design built on a hill and close to Manuel Antonio National Park"
06/20/15 Judi L Denver, Colorado
Great location and very close to the park. The hotel has a lot of winding steps, two pools. Food was excellent. Wi-Fi in the rooms, but we were up high and had to use the lobby or pool. In room safe. Food was excellent, the staff very nice, and there was a great happy hour in the bar. We were upgraded and our room was huge. Two sinks, a very large shower, and modern design. Rooms were extremely clean. The hotel provided free beach towels for the beach inside the national park. I thought this was a nice touch.
"Great service"
05/31/15 PatDSalemOR Salem OR
Good location near the park. Two pools. Hot tub, but it didn't have any water in it when I was there. Restaurant & bar area. Nice sized rooms. If you are there during the day, can be a little noisy as they are doing some maintenance in a couple areas. Staff were very pleasant. Happy hour deals in the bar.
"Amazing staff & great breakfast!"
05/27/15 Kaitlin M
We were greeted by Andre who was professional and amicable, very friendly guy who went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect for us. The room itself was beautiful & clean. The breakfast that was included was wonderful, you had the option of the continental breakfast (toast w. jam, butter & fruits) or tico (rice with beans & plantain with eggs). Great way to start off your day, fresh good tasting food and wonderful waiter. Loved the hotel and it's staff. Wifi was a bit spotty in our room but nothing too serious. The location is also excellent!
"Medum size rooms"
05/25/15 SEPROTUR C Heredia, Heredia, Costa Rica
Small hotel with two swimming pools and small restaurant, parking area is very small and sometimes cars must stay outside the hotel overnight because there is not room enough. Too noisy, they are building inside their garden seems like more rooms and there is no stop all the way to late in the afternoon sometimes around 6:00 pm or more. Got to be careful with the laundry service, tend to loose items sometimes and not resolving complaints. Food at the restaurant/bar is good, as long you order a la cart, included breakfast is terrible, not many choices. Conveniently located near Manuel Antonio National park and Manuel Antonio public beach. Many activities can be arranged from here, fishing, canopy, nature tours, etc.
"ok...I guess, can't really get much better for that price range"
05/25/15 Karen B Sudbury, Canada
Pros: Hotel rooms were clean, our room was great, it had an excellent view and was quite large. The staff were very very nice, and always accommodating. The food was ok at the restaurant (a bit on the expensive side). It was very easy to get to the beach using the bus for only 320 colones. Cons: The air conditioner didn't work very well once it got to early in the morning, I guess it tired out after a few hrs of use. The internet was slow at best, but it was free. We could only have one key for a room with three people in it it. Every time we tried to activate a new one, the previous one would be deactivated.. it was very annoying. No hot water at 7:00 am... shower at times when not everyone would be showering and you should be fine. Overall this place is quite average, maybe a little run down, but I doubt you could find much better for the price on the strip to manuel, and the staff are very friendly, and I would say the best part of staying there.
"Comfortable hotel, good location"
04/12/15 jethro11 Owensboro,KY
We stayed here for 1 day during our trip to Manuel Antonio in April 2015. We requested a room with 2 beds and management accommodated our request which doesn't always happen. The hotel has free parking which is limited and on extremely steep slope. Free internet and a complimentary breakfast is provided which is delicious. The swimming pool just outside the rooms was beautiful and a pleasant respite from the heat and humidity. The rooms itself were comfortable with TV, coffee maker, fridge and microwave The breakfast in the restaurant in the morning was nice (fresh fruit, eggs, rice and beans, fruit juices, coffee, baked goods, oatmeal etc). The restarant had nice views of the hotel and we enjoyed the ambience which almost felt like we were in a tree house!
"Nice hotel with amazing staff."
04/07/15 Alvaro C Cartago, Costa Rica
I stayed in this hotel for one night with some friends. The hotel is very nice, with a lot of paintings and sculptures in the rooms and hallways. The rooms were really comfortable, with a small fridge, A/C, TV, and safe box. There are two pools in the hotel and basically everything was nice enough. But what really impressed me was the staff, they were incredibly helpful and amicable. They did everything and beyond to answer our requests. Being that we are locals, staying only for one night, I found this level of attention extraordinary and admirable, and can't recommend enough this hotel.
"Nice place, well situated"
03/31/15 Yehuda70 Kokhav Yair
This is a nice hotel and very well situated for a visit of Manuael Antonio National Park or the shore of the Pacific Ocean and there is also a nice swimming pool available. Although not really modern, my room had a double bed (for one person) and did not lack any of the usual amenities, including flat screen TV, hair dryer, air conditioning, etc. Breakfast was good, but bread was scarce as in most hotels in Costa Rica. The staff was polite and helpful and the general athmosphere was friendly.

Egyptian property firm Palm Hills hit by Q3 loss
Dina Zayed Reuters
Published in
Daily News Egypt
on 03 - 11 - 2011
real estate group Palm Hills, the country's second-biggest listed developer, reported a third-quarter net loss on Thursday, hit by weaker revenues and what analysts suspect was a high rate of cancellations.
The firm, battered by investigations into previous state land sales and by client cancellations after the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak in February, posted a LE 17.7 million ($2.97 million) net loss for the third quarter, which compared with a LE 153.7 million net profit in the same period last year.
Analysts said it was unclear whether the firm would manage to improve its results anytime soon, blaming uncertainty in the economy and the company's legal and political woes.
"We believe this is mainly due to further cancellations. When the company receives cancellations it must back out revenues already recognized," one analyst that did not want to be named said.
"We believe that Palm Hills will continue to have difficulties given its legal and political problems," the analyst said.
Palm Hill's revenue fell to LE 135.4 million, a 64.5 percent drop from LE 381.7 million a year earlier.
The company is just one of several real estate firms in the Arab world's most populous country facing legal challenges relating to their land holdings since a court ruled last year that a sale of state land to Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG) , the country's biggest developer, was illegal because it was not auctioned.
The probes into land deals have sped up since the uprising as attention turned to the regime's former links with businessmen.
Palm Hill's chairman Yasseen Mansour and former housing minister Ahmed El-Maghrabi were cleared of corruption charges in a state land sale in July.
But the company is awaiting a verdict from another court on whether the contract for the sale should be scrapped.
The firm is also facing other court cases contesting the legality of two of its land plots and has said it would return some plots of land to help manage cash flows.
"In the meantime, the environment in
along with consumers' worries about Palm Hill's legal problems has resulted in continued cancellations," an analyst said.
Palm Hills posted a nine-month loss of LE 99.1 million, which compared with a net profit of LE 345.1 million in the same period last year.
