What GAO Found
In its analysis of the 2008-2011 beneficiary survey data, GAO found that nearly one in three nonenrolled beneficiaries experienced problems finding a civilian provider who would accept TRICARE and that nonenrolled beneficiaries' access to civilian primary care and specialty care providers differed by type of location. Specifically, a higher percentage of nonenrolled beneficiaries in Prime Service Areas (PSA), which are areas with civilian provider networks, experienced problems finding a civilian primary care or specialty care provider compared to those in non-Prime Service Areas (non-PSA), which do not have civilian provider networks. GAO found that the top reasons reported by nonenrolled beneficiaries for why they experienced access problems--regardless of type of provider--were that the providers were either not accepting TRICARE payments or new TRICARE patients. Additionally, GAO's comparison of the Department of Defense's (DOD) beneficiary survey data to related data from a Department of Health and Human Services survey showed that nonenrolled beneficiaries' satisfaction ratings for primary and specialty care providers were consistently lower than those of Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries.
GAO's analysis of the 2008-2011 civilian provider survey data found that about 6 in 10 civilian providers were accepting new TRICARE patients and the most-cited reason for not accepting new TRICARE patients was that the civilian providers were not aware of the TRICARE program. Civilian physicians' acceptance of TRICARE has also decreased over time. Specifically, when compared to DOD's 2005-2007 civilian physician survey results, civilian physicians' acceptance of new TRICARE patients has decreased. This was also true whether they were accepting any new patients or new Medicare patients. Civilian providers' awareness and acceptance of TRICARE also differed by provider type, as fewer civilian mental health care providers were aware of TRICARE or accepting new TRICARE patients than other types of providers. For example, only an estimated 39 percent of civilian mental health care providers were accepting new TRICARE patients, compared to an estimated 67 percent of civilian primary care providers and an estimated 77 percent of civilian specialty care providers. The analysis also showed that civilian providers' awareness and acceptance of TRICARE differ by location type, as civilian providers in PSAs were less aware of TRICARE and less likely to accept new TRICARE patients than those in non-PSAs.
GAO's analysis of the collective results of the beneficiary and civilian provider survey results indicates specific geographic areas, including areas in Texas and California, where nonenrolled beneficiaries have experienced considerable access problems. In each of these areas, although almost all civilian providers were accepting new patients, less than half were accepting new TRICARE patients. In most of these areas, civilian providers most often cited reimbursement concerns as the reasons why they were not accepting any new TRICARE patients.
In commenting on a draft of this report, DOD concurred with GAO's overall findings.
Why GAO Did This Study
DOD provides health and mental health care through its TRICARE program. TRICARE offers three basic options. Beneficiaries who choose TRICARE Prime, an option that uses civilian provider networks, must enroll. Beneficiaries who do not enroll in this option may obtain care from nonnetwork providers under TRICARE Standard or from network providers under TRICARE Extra. In addition, qualified National Guard and Reserve servicemembers may purchase TRICARE Reserve Select, a plan whose care options are similar to those of TRICARE Standard and TRICARE Extra. GAO refers to servicemembers who use TRICARE Standard, TRICARE Extra, or TRICARE Reserve Select as nonenrolled beneficiaries.
The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 directed DOD to conduct annual surveys over fiscal years 2008 through 2011 of both beneficiaries and civilian providers to determine the adequacy of access to health and mental health care providers for nonenrolled beneficiaries. It also directed GAO to review these surveys. This report addresses (1) what the results of the 4-year beneficiary surveys indicate about the adequacy of access to care for nonenrolled beneficiaries; (2) what the results of the 4-year civilian provider surveys indicate about civilian providers' awareness and acceptance of TRICARE, and (3) what the collective results of the surveys indicate about access to care by geographic area. To do so, GAO interviewed DOD officials, obtained relevant documentation, and analyzed the data for both surveys over the 4-year period.

A single steep orange wall once visited by mysterious bolters who gridded the top with U anchors as well as sparsley placed them down some of the climbs. Some of the anchors were lacking glue but most of them are fine. The bolts over the top should be ignored as there are now double rings on the tops of most climbs.
Useful Info: 'Access' the cliff by walking to the edge and walking right facing out for about thirty meters. Look for a slot chimney with green rungs in it.© (nmonteith)
From intersection of Albatross Rd and Yalwal Rd in Nowra, follow Yalwal Rd for 10km west (past turn-off to Thompsons Point). The road passes a small lake and heads down a twisty mountain road into a small valley. At the 10km point, just after a small bridge, take the Yalwal signposted left turn onto the dirt road. Reset your odometer and drive up this dirt road (ok for 2WD) for 4.4km to a large football field sized dirt patch and bogan trash dumping ground on the right side of the road. Drive to far end of dirt patch and park car just right of centre. Follow small dirt road/track for about 100m to cliff top. Walk right align cliff top for 30m to descent gully and green rungs.© (nmonteith)

Ice skating is a perfect way to get children and adults to sneak some physical activity into their winter routines. Race, spin, slide, and socialize to a healthier lifestyle while having tremendous fun. The good news is that Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) ice skating rinks open to the public on Wednesday, November 27. So it's time to sharpen those skates, shine those boots, and glide across the ice at one of DCR's facilities. Many locations offer skate rentals and some rinks have concession stands where a hot cup of cocoa can make up for any time spent falling on the ice.
Ice skating is a fun winter activity for people of all ages and abilities, and through DCR's Universal Access Program ice skating is available to everyone. 17 DCR rinks offer accessible skating where seated ice skating sleds enable people with disabilities to join other skaters in the merriment. Some sleds are equipped with a stroller bar so another skater can push; some have short hockey sticks with picks that enable users to propel themselves as fast as they want across the rink.
Ice Skating Tips
- Try to always skate with at least one other person.
- The recommended thickness for ice skating on ponds is six inches.
- Remove loose objects from ice surfaces to avoid them freezing into the ice and creating a hazard.
- Well-lit areas are the best places to skate safely.
- Hockey players should be careful skating near young children so as to not run into them and knock them over.
- Make sure to check with your local rink to see if hockey is allowed.
- For the safety of all skaters, follow the rules posted on signs located at each pond and rink.
Where is your favorite ice skating rink in Massachusetts? Why is it fun? Is it the size of the rink, or the shape? The people who go there? Let us know in the comments below or by tweeting us at @MassGov.

bump for some great looking pixel art! Recommended to anyone who is interested in buying.
Glad you like it, although I think your Black Mage might get kind of lonely soon, maybe you should buy a White Mage to go along with him.
Aww, that's too bad I was hoping that it would run:cry: Well hopefully you get that new laptop soon, I'm waiting until the next holiday sale to finish upgrading my PC so let me know if your looking for anything in particular. That's cool send me a link to your test site so I can see it;) You should probably get the drive in about a week, it was a bit heavy so I sent it Parcel post.
I don't really intend to get anything fancy, just enough to download music, play a couple of games, etc. I'd actually prefer another desktop, but from what I can tell they tend to be more expensive than Laptops/Netbooks, and I of course need something incredibly cheap.
I'll post a link to the site in a couple of days once I clean it up a bit. Right now it's essentially just a bunch of inside jokes and random things that I felt like posting. Although I did write quite an amazing blog over there.
And I actually already got the drive, it got here yesterday and I just forgot to post.
As always, everything is in great shape, I'll be installing the drive later on tonight. Thanks again.

In QUIN's candy land, local goods dominate the shelves (Photos)
St. Cupcake owner Jami Curl's new candy shop QUIN is all about the local angle.
Strawberries for her gumdrops come from Dayton's Miridian Farms. So do the hazelnuts that are part of the Best of Oregon Caramels. The other two key ingredients for the chewy goods are salt that's harvested, from the Pacific Ocean itself, by Netarts Bay's Jacobsen Salt and honey from Bee Local Honey.
Candy shop: A look inside a locally focused confectioner
The lollipops are made in Curl's kitchen, as are the gumdrops. Coffee used to flavor the sweets is roasted at Water Avenue Coffee. Candy bars by Portland's Woodblock Chocolate and Bees & Beans tempt even the choosiest of palates.
Curl opened the shop July 1 and is snaring business from Powell's City of Books visitors who make the southward trek across Burnside into the new Union Way pedestrian mall.
"I love having a store across the top tourist attraction in town: This is as Portland as it gets," she said. "And when people are traveling, they like to get something small and sweet to take home."
Curl made her name at St. Cupcake, which attracts visitors to its downtown and Southeast Belmont locations with an array of baked treats. While Curl carried the lollipops at St. Cupcake, she doesn't expect to sell cupcakes at QUIN.
"Spiritually, this isn't 'St. Cupcake's candy shop,'" said Curl. "It's just important that we have a place where we can sell local goods. And while it's not straight up local" — she points to a row of Askinosie chocolate bars, made in Springfield, Mo. — "it's straight-up sustainable. I know everything about the way products are harvested and how they're delivered."

So we stumbled upon this scene a couple weeks ago and just had to laugh and say, "Yup, this is Spain!"
If you're not familiar with Spanish cuisine, pork is one of its most important components, and it was entertaining to see this deli having some fun with its star resident. For me, the best part of this pig smoking a chorizo cigar was it reminded me of when R was younger: he was eating ham at dinner one day and he called out, "What do pigs eat? Do they eat sausage? Do they eat ham??"
We talk all the time about how we'd like to take the kids out on the Camino when they're older. Well, a couple of weeks ago, we finally did it! It was only for a few hours – and we'd still like to take them out for longer in future years – but at least now our kids can officially say they've stepped foot on the trail.
We drove about an hour east to the town of Melide and walked 4km west toward Santiago, had a picnic lunch, then turned around and walked the 4km back to Melide. Three out of four of the children loved the whole experience. The other one loved it, started hating it, then ate lunch, and then was perky again (I guess there is such a thing as hangry*). It was a beautiful day, only a handful of other pilgrims were on the trail, and being out in quiet nature was soothing for (almost) everyone.
Soon after we started walking, we came upon this Camino de Santiago trail marker. The 50.5km engraving meant that there were still 50.5km left to go before reaching Santiago:
K and M found this waymarker:
And R enjoyed the abundance of signposts in this particular spot:
The trail out of Melide took us past this colorful stone house…
As well as past this church:
In some areas the Camino was paved:
And in others it was a dirt road through eucalyptus trees:
When I walked from Sarria to Santiago a few years ago, this creek was one of my favorite places. The stone bridge is the Camino here (you can't keep going to Santiago without walking across it):
Hey, we walked 1.5km already! Yeah!
On this day we saw sheep, dogs, and cows:
Halfway through we found a clean picnic table off to the side and got to eat:
Then it was back to the car and home to Santiago. We're grateful it was an easy first Camino trip with the kids. Many pilgrims say once they've gotten a taste of the Camino, they feel called back again and again. It will be fun to see what happens with B, R, K, and M as they get older, if they keep feeling summoned to walk, or if the Camino feels too close by and they decide to go farther away when they want to explore. We'll see! But for now, the Camino beckons:
* Hangry – the state of being when one is so hungry he's angry. This causes others around him to say, "What's wrong with you? Get some food and stop being so hangry."
In Spain, January 6 is a major holiday – it's Three Kings' Day, the day commemorating the wise men's visit to the child Jesus and the gifts they brought him. These days, it's also the day Spanish kids receive their presents. Spain is a madhouse up to January 6, with kids still on winter break from school, people buying toys and gifts, and everyone getting ready to spend the holiday with their families.
Portugal, unlike Spain, doesn't celebrate Three Kings' Day. Which means low season starts right after New Year's and accommodations are super cheap! We closed Pilgrim House for a few days for a sabbatical, and for Kings' Day our family was able to get away to the nearby town of Porto, Portugal. We booked a tourist apartment for 170€ total for three nights, which seemed like a steal.
During our trip it was a bit cold, but the sun was out and we could get outside. The kids loved exploring a new place and there was plenty for us to do as a family. When I was researching Porto beforehand, I saw some activities for families but not many prices, so I've included the prices we paid to help you plan if you're thinking of taking a trip to Porto as well.
We started out by driving from Porto across the river to the opposite town of Vila Nova de Gaia, from where we could get great, expansive views of Porto spread along the river Douro. According to everybody, a boat tour was one of the best ways to see the area, and this was the red boat we rode. The kids were free, and it cost Nate and me 12,50€ each (25€ total for the 6 of us).
The boys and I enjoyed the view from the open deck:
When it got too cold and windy we sat inside and looked out the windows:
Nate and I tried to get a picture of just the two of us, but then M wandered by, of course:
The iconic narrow and colorful houses of Porto:
The boat tour took about an hour. Later, while we were still in Vila Nova de Gaia, we took a Teleférico cable car to the top of a mountain for a better view of Porto. We paid 20€ total for our family to take a ride up and a ride back (again – not too shabby!).
K loved the two cable car rides. It was her favorite part of our trip:
There are six bridges over the river Douro, and this one, the Dom Luis I bridge, was built in 1886. This was the view after we got off the cable car:
And this was the view from the bridge itself. We thought it was beautiful! Porto has so many different tiers and layers, it reminds me of a sprawling wedding cake:
In Porto itself, we visited the São Bento train station, famous for its tile depictions of scenes from Portugal's history:
Based on a recommendation from a local, we also visited the landmark Majestic café. It opened in 1921 and through the years hosted many influential Portuguese customers:
Everything else in Porto was cheap, but we unexpectedly had to splurge here. K's freshly-juiced pineapple juice was 4€, and everyone else's hot chocolate was 3,25€. We ended up paying 20€ for six drinks – all for the privilege of saying we'd now experienced the Majestic.
Winding down our trip, we tried to make one more stop, this time to the Lello and Irmão bookstore. You can see some photos of the interior here. Unfortunately, since it was low season, the bookstore was closed for inventory. Bummer!
If you're a wine lover, you may enjoy visiting some of the wineries and wine caves in Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia and tasting their port wine. The wine was traditionally transported up and down the river Douro in barrels on these wooden boats. Several boats are on display in the river today:
And that's about it! Our three days in Porto went quickly, but we had a refreshing, fun time as a family and built good memories. We'd highly recommend it if you ever have the chance to visit, especially during low season.
About two years ago, our friends Jean-Philippe and Sandie moved back to France, settled into a new life in Paris, and opened up their own online homemade goods store, Les Fils.
They design and make some cute things for kids:
And fashionable accessories for us adults (modeled by Sandie):
The best part is that a portion of their proceeds goes to assist associations caring for orphans.
We think they're a grand couple, doing something great for kids and creating beautiful, quality products. Check them out, and bring some French flair into your loved ones' lives this Christmas. As a bonus, JP and Sandie have offered free shipping to readers of The Sweet Road. Just enter in "THESWEETROAD" (don't include spaces between the words) in the Discount box when you place your order! Woo hoo!
You can also find them on Facebook and Instagram.
Looking back over the last few years and celebrating the milestone of opening up Pilgrim House, we think about this quote:
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." (Laozi)
Beautiful, right? You've all probably been there, where you've had a huge task to accomplish, a long hike to cover, or a business/ website/ ministry to start, and you've had to just take the first step. The quote is so motivational and inspiring! Just do it!
The problem is, of course, that you still have to take those other 1,999,999 steps! Blaaggh!
A few days before Pilgrim House opened, our sweet Wheaton College interns asked us how how it felt to be finally at that point. In answering them, we realized we actually weren't surprised we were about to open. Our team had been intimately acquainted with every single step we'd taken to get there, and while we were definitely excited, we were also exhausted and thinking, "It's about time!" In fact, we wished we could have opened sooner. Sometimes I still thought, "Lord, why did it take so long?"
Recently, the words of Treebeard* have been encouraging: "But there, my friends, songs like trees bear fruit only in their own time and their own way: and sometimes they are withered untimely."
The last part of his quote hopefully doesn't apply to us so we'll focus on the first part. I'm encouraged because looking back, I see that the Pilgrim House song has been sung this entire time. In other words, if we were to sing a song about Pilgrim House, it would go all the way back to the beginning, not just the first day Pilgrim House actually opened. Some of the fruit came when we opened, but I've realized that the journey has made the song. The song has come from the journey.
Maybe it's always like that – you don't just talk about a couple the day they get married, but you talk about their whole relationship and story. Or you don't just talk about when a church had its first public service, but you talk about the very first small group of people that met together.
The story for Nate and me started 19 years ago, when Nate took his first backpacking trip to Europe with Wheaton College. A year later, he went again, and I was on his team that year. Our teammates will have different stories of how God, over time, planted things in their lives that eventually brought them here to Spain. Our team is a convergence point of different journeys, yet in this moment we get to work together on Pilgrim House.
Our friends, Jim and Sharon P., finished the Camino in June and gave our Wheaton interns an impromptu orientation session before the Wheaties headed out on the Camino. One thing they said was that when they crested a hill, they always looked back to see how far they'd come. It was a moment to celebrate their accomplishment, instead of continuing to trudge along, head down, ready to drop.
So in this moment we look back and remember how the Lord brought things together to allow us to open up. If He hadn't done it in the ways that He had, Pilgrim House wouldn't be as strong as we believe it is now: from how the team formed, to how we got our location, to plowing through all of the paperwork, to the waiting, to planning all of the details, God has done some miraculous things (and I don't say that lightly). It's been deeply faith-building to watch this song get sung. One wonderful thing is that even the hard times of waiting will be only a verse or two in the entire Pilgrim House song, and even opening up will just be a small part. There's still so much of the song to come as, God willing, Pilgrim House keeps going and bears more fruit in its time.
* Treebeard is an Ent, a talking tree-like character in The Lord of the Rings. His motto is, "Do not be hasty."
Speaking of Lord of the Rings, Boromir said it best in the first movie: "One does not simply walk into Mordor." The closer we got to opening Pilgrim House, the punchier our team got from the stress of an enormous to-do list, and we made up our own quote: "One does not simply walk into Santiago and start Pilgrim House."

This is a gargoyle on Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. The cathedral is widely considered to be a fine example of French Gothic architecture, and was one of the first buildings in the world to use flying buttresses. Many small individually crafted statues were placed around the outside to serve as column supports and water spouts, including the famous gargoyles. Construction began in 1163 during the reign of Louis VII and was largely complete by 1345.

There is no Clear Requirement for Dietary Carbohydrates for Human Adults
Current carbohydrate recommendations are based on
1) preventing ketosis
2) providing glucose beyond minimal needs
However, ketosis is not harmful, and the need to provide glucose above minimal needs has never been demonstrated.
There is no RDA for carbohydrates, probably because the human body can adapt to a carbohydrate-free diet and manufacture the glucose it needs.
There's no such thing as an essential carbohydrate – Dr Eric Westman
You'll be reassured to know that you don't have to eat carbohydrates to live. It's not an essential nutrient. It's one of the first things we learn in nutrition is what does the body not make and what you HAVE to eat. You won't find carbohydrate on this list. Full video: http://ketogeniclifestyle.com/video-ketogenic-diet-seminar-dr-eric-westman/
Ketostix – don't bother testing urine ketones in the long term
Within days of starting carbohydrate restriction, most people begin excreting ketones in their urine.
Strips that test for ketones in the urine detect the presence of acetoacetate.
After a few weeks, muscle cells take up acetoacetate and reduce it to beta-hydroxybutyrate.
Thus urine ketone testing is a rather uncertain if not undependable way of monitoring ketosis.

It was the perp that did not value human life enough to control himself you stupid nanny state loving fag. If a human being is stupid enough to take a firearm into an establishment and threaten peoples lives in order to get "a buck or two" he's worth more to society dead than alive.
God damn you're a stupid motherfucker!
SO why then does it work perfectly fine in my country? People get robbed but they just give them their stuff, nobody dies in the end and crime isn't worse here. What you just don't understand is that a human life is more valuable than a stupid crime. And how do you know he really threatened their lives? He didn't shoot at them right? The onyl person threatening someone's life was the "hero" bartender.
IMO even in 100% justified self defense you should go to prison for a year or so, taking a human life is ALWAYS bad.
Anonymous Coward 1516308
There is no justification possible,moral or otherwise, for threatening someone's life and taking valuables by force.
That is always wrong and should be met with the strongest possible resistance.
But of course the neutered euros can't resist because the only means they have to resist is physical force. In effect Europe has brought back the law of the jungle. The physically stronger can take what they want from weaker people.
I doubt if that works "perfectly fine" in your country.
If being a helpless serf is your cup of tea, that's fine. Just don't wish, expect and want everyone else to be the same.
And don't try to cover up this disgusting servility by attempting to co opt the moral high ground.
s. d. butler
well people are allowed to defend themselves, just with appropriate force. You can't hit somebody if he hasn't hit you, you can't kill somebody if he hasn't tried to kill you.
Yeah pointing a gun at someone is threatening so you are allowed to try to disarm them and in some cases you might even be allowed to kill them but only in extreme circumstances. Some guy robbing somebody for a few bucks is not worth taking the life of another person.
Anonymous Coward 1516308
when someone holds a gun on you they are threatening to take your life whether or not you comply.
In many cases criminals kill people execution style after they are tied up or have given over their valuables.
There is no way to know what the mindset is.
So the appropriate thing to do is consider robbery by force as a deadly threat.
Please verify you're human:

The Bachelors of History/Masters of History (or 4+1 History) Program
This unique program allows a student to earn both a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in history in only five years. Students in the program will be allowed to register for up to 12 graduate credits during their senior year, to pay the undergraduate rate for those credits, and to double-count those credits toward both degrees. Such a program offers great financial, educational and marketability advantages to students. Admission into the program is selective and competitive.
History students are eligible to apply for the BA/MA program at any time. Up until the Spring semester of their junior year, students are admitted into Stage One of the program. During this stage, you are considered a "4+1" student by the Department of History but retain your undergraduate status with the Registrar's Office.
To be advanced to Stage Two of the program, students in Stage One will need to maintain a 3.3 GPA in history courses. If they do this, they will be automatically admitted to Stage Two in the Spring semester of their junior year. A second letter will be sent at that stage, acknowledging their advancement and directing you to fill out paperwork that will allow the student to take graduate courses in their senior year. Please note that students in their junior year may apply directly into Stage Two if they have the requisite GPA, a grade of at least B- in Methods, and a faculty recommendation.
Stage Two is completed during a candidate's fourth year, a time during which they have a new designation with the Registrar's Office and will take at least two and up to four graduate courses at the undergraduate rate. At the end of the fourth year, students will move on to Stage Three, where they will now be considered graduate students by the University. 4+1 Students will take six to eight graduate courses during this fifth year.
All 4+1 students are given several resources. As the 4+1 coordinator, William Carrigan will assist you with any academic issues throughout your program- including course selection, program requirements, departmental policies, or awarded credit.

Very interesting stuff to see and in-depth history of crime and punishment through the ages. I was lucky enough to go through right after a large school field trip group had just gone through, so it was very quiet and nice. :

Designed to join together two ends of ¾ inch or one-inch EMT, the coupling's back-out center screw permits 241-DCSLP and 242-DCSLP to be temporarily located on one cut end while adjacent end is slid into place. The contractor backs out the center screw, as necessary, to slip the coupling over the conduit, ensuring both ends of the conduit are visible in the sight hole, before tightening all set screws.

Greatness in a can.
I can't believe Egoraptor continues it's amazingness. It's so funny. The animation style, as I've said before, is really good, and within it, the humor is over the top.
Great job Egoraptor.

Reviewer score
Would recommend
Very good with minor exceptions
We stayed 4 nights thurs thru sun. Despite being on 8th floor we heard a lot of noise outside every night. We were working at the Convention centre so it was a long walk with lots of hills to get to the hotel. Was impressed overall though with
staff attitude and service provided. Would stay again if we didn't need to walk so far, but this was obviously our choice.
Nice hotel
The staff were nice and helpful. This hotel is in a good location, close to the city
A Fantastic Hotel
Punthill Brisbane is a fantastic hotel. I stayed there for a few days in August. I got a great deal since it's winter in Australia. The location is within walking distance to the CBD as well as other good attractions. The attached restaurant is
good as well. In regard to the room itself, it was exceptionally clean and well decorated. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the room had a great balcony. The managers are great/personable, and make you feel at home. Honestly, it's one of the best hotels I've stayed at.
I felt nurtured in this hotel. I was able to have breakfast, wifi and hotel all in one bundled package and was totally satisfied. The one objection I did have was about the hallways and elevator, they needed to be vacuumed better.
great place to stay with very reasonable cost
very good..room is big, friendly staff, and nothing can be better in an apartment hotel.
Quirky, Modern and Friendly
My daughter and i visited Australia while visiting my son who was studying abroad. I booked the Punthill based on previous reviews and I was extremely happy with my choice. The quirkiness of the hotel was unique, the staff went out of their way to
help and they were extremely friendly and informative, especially Adrian. The rooms were very clean and modern. They were also very quiet - we rarely heard any other guests. The cafe attached, Jak and Hill, was delicious. We walked almost everywhere - Queen Street near all the stores and restaurants and Eagle Street Pier, both of which were only about a 30 min walk away. The train station was only a 15 minute walk. The staff was also able to accommodate our request for two twin beds instead of one queen at the last minute, and we are very appreciative of that. There were two negatives, but they would not alter my decision to return one day. Smoking is allowed in "common areas" and one night someone must have been smoking in the hall because the smell was very strong in our room. Also, there's no one at the front desk after 9pm. I'm not sure what would have happened in case of an emergency or if anything was needed, but luckily we didn't have a problem. The building itself was locked after 9pm and you needed to swipe your key to get in. All in all, our experience was wonderful and we'd recommend it to anyone!
Make sure you go to Queen Street Market, open every Wednesday. The vendors are all local, and the food is delicious!

Studio suites downtown
The Punthill was what we'd hoped it'd be. It's right downtown, just a block walk to Central Station and another few blocks to the main shopping area. The rooms have little kitchenettes, seating area, etc. Great for longer stays, but good for
shorter stays, too. It's a funky place, too, with very nice staff. And a great coffee shop with breakfast just next to the hotel. Highly recommend.
Check out the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, less than 20 minute drive from the hotel.

Nickelodeon sets `Last Airbender' spinoff for 2011 - Yahoo! NewsNickelodeon sets `Last Airbender' spinoff for 2011
LOS ANGELES A spinoff from Nickelodeon's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is in the works.
The channel said Wednesday the new animated TV series will premiere in 2011. It has the working title, "The Legend of Korra."
Nickelodeon says the series will build on the "mythology" of the original "The Last Airbender" series, which inspired this summer's live-action movie from filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan (SHAH-muh-lahn).
The "Legend of Korra" is from the creator-producers of "Avatar: The Last Airbender."
Nickelodeon executive Brown Johnson says the new series will focus on a teenage girl avatar named Korra. Brown describes her as hotheaded, independent and "ready to take on the world."
"Avatar: The Last Airbender" has ranked among the highest-rate series on the Nickelodeon and Nicktoons channels.

Re "Video depicts beheading of second American journalist" (SacBee.com, Sept. 3): By any reasonable standard, the recent beheadings of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff are crimes against humanity. It is time the United Nations pushes back with all its might against ISIS and the state leaders who harbor these despicable terrorists.
If state leaders understand they will someday be held accountable for their actions -- and suffer the same fate as Foley and Sotloff -- I am sure they will turn their backs on the cowardly jihadists.
