Beautiful hotel, wonderful ammenities
We were very pleased with this hotel. More importantly, my wife liked the room. She tends to be a germaphobe so when she was impressed it makes the trip much more pleasant. The room was very nice and clean. The breakfast that was included was also nice. The woman who prepared the breakfast was very polite nad professional. If we go to this area again we will definitely stay at this hotel again.
The only negative I can think of is that the towel bar in the bathroom came loose while we stayed at this hotel. They had a card in the room to report issues like this so I filled it out and dropped it at the front desk.
we wanted close to downtown without paying a high price. we felt it was a great value, clean and comfortable close to everything. And it break the bank.
For the price, you can't beat it. Very short drive (minutes) from shops and the beach. Clean and nice rooms.
The staff was so nice and helpful!
We only spent the night, and didn't have time to use the pool or qym or anything, the breakfast was very good with a good variety.
I can't say that I was disappointed in anything, except the check in time of 3pm was a little late for what we needed to do.
Cleanliness, comfort.
Price, cable was poor, no breakfast included.
I stayed in a Hyatt Place in Arizona for half the price, same/better amenities, with a hot breakfast included.
Obviously Hilton was gouging based on limited competition and seasonally high demand (Holland Tulip Time).
Loved the cookies! The room was great, we even had a balcony And pool access. Staff was very friendly.
Very uncomfortable beds. And the pillows turned into nothing after you put your head on it.
Location is fantastic for this LEED certified hotel. Ver modern design and room furnishings. Food looked good coming out of the top floor CityVu.
Lots of out of order signs, parking lot chaos during happy hour, hallway not swept during stay, uncomfortable unsupportive bed for a large frame person. Expensive for this level of service.
Convenient parking lot, everything in town walking distance, great restaurants nearby, great happy hour climate in city lounge and city vu. Hotel, restaurant, and bar all reasonably priced.
Great value for the money. Very clean and updated!
Food at the hotel restaurant was not very good. Also the hot food during the free breakfast was gross and the buffet was poorly organized and super crowded.
Great king sized bed, A/C, nice easy chair in room
No freezer compartment in the fridge
Great location. Pleasant facility, flawed by the lack of an elevator. Rooms were comfortable. Breakfast was good, but poorly managed and staffed.
No elevator.
Wonderful Staff , surroundings .. A Great place for Couples , but i really Enjoyed the Peace & Serenity i felt ; sitting on the back side of the Motel . Breakfast at small Cafe (next to the Motel) is FREE of Charge , serves Breakfast Lunch & Dinne
clean and neat
no staff in motel to ask questions
Very clean, great pool and premises and great location.
Nothing negative.
Hotel employees were welcoming and kind. The breakfast was better than I expected. It was great to relax in the heated pool after a day of sightseeing.
Everything wasvwonderful

handheld definition
A handheld computer is a computer that can conveniently be stored in a pocket (of sufficient size) and used while you're holding it. Today's handheld computers, which are also called personal digital assistants (PDAs), can be divided into those that accept handwriting as input and those with small keyboards. The original handheld that accepted handwriting was Apple's Newton, which was later withdrawn from the market. Today, the most popular handheld that accepts handwritten input is the PalmPilot from 3Com. Philips, Casio, NEC, Compaq, and other companies make handhelds with small keyboards.

Windows CE and EPOC are two of the most widely used operating systems in handheld computers.
Handheld computers are typically used for personal information manager (PIM) types of applications: maintaining schedules, keeping names and phone numbers, doing simple calculations, taking notes, and, with a modem, exchanging e-mail and getting information from the Web. Keyboards have tiny keys that take getting used to. Those that handle handwriting also impose constraints and require some learning. Nevertheless, this class of computer is widely sold and appreciated by many users.
Hewlett-Packard has recently introduced the first handheld computer with a color display. A number of companies now combine voice and data telephone service using cellular telephone or other wireless technologies with the handheld computer in a single device.

I'm more of a face to face person as people tend to write anything here and you really only get a sense of someone when you either chat to or meet them...so yes, I would be wanting to meet at some point.
I'm very much back into my fitness and whilst I don't always enjoy it....the gym does make me smile when I'm done....anything to get me into the outdoors. That said, Im a combination homebody outdoors person depending on my mood. Quite the fan of getting the hammock out n laying in the sun with a good book but also getting out and about (did I just repeat myself...oh well, you will see I'm quite the space filler at times too)
I have other pictures as well that are clearer but with my job I don't really want some to see clearly so to answer a possible question...no, I'm not hiding :)

Department of Political Economy
Political Economy at the University of Sydney is taught by the largest grouping of political economists at any Australian university. It offers the most developed and integrated undergraduate and graduate courses and is recognised as a leading centre of economic analysis and research.
The study of political economy rests on the central proposition that economic processes do not take place in isolation from social and political processes. It contends that, beyond technical economic debates, the critical issues for understanding economic processes are the broader questions - such as the dynamics of globalisation and the implications for national economic policy settings; the concentration of economic activity, wealth and opportunities; the trade-offs between the free market perspective and broader social concerns; economic growth and environmental sustainability.

We enjoyed a lovely two night stay at this hotel. It is located a bit farther away from the main downtown of Villeneuve-les- Avignon, which is across the river from Avignon. The room was clean, spacious and overlooked the beautiful courtyard, which was very well designed. We stayed in October so it was a bit too cool to swim but in warmer months the pool would have been lovely to use. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There were plenty of places to sit outside and enjoy a drink. We did have a traditional french bathroom so showering was a bit tricky but the bathroom was also large and spacious and had two sinks.
It is a medium walk to the center of town, so for those who mind walking more than 10 min to dinner, this may not be the ideal location, unless you are planning on eating at the hotel. However, my mom and I enjoy walking and found this hotel to be perfect for our needs. Fort Andre is probably closer to 20-30 min walk and the Tour Philippe Le Bel is about 15-20 minutes. When walking, we felt safe but the sidewalks had a tendency of suddenly stopping and starting up on the other side of the road. During the day, we also walked into Avignon, which was only about 30 minutes to the city's gates. There is also a bus that is conveniently located. I enjoyed staying in Villeneuve Les Avignon rather than Avignon because it was quieter and less congested.
For those who enjoy walking, it is a great location with a beautiful premise and quieter than other options in the area.

Great leftover bloomin' onion tips from our server: chop up and add to meatloaf or mix in with eggs for breakfast.
Love the Outback special & shrimp on the barbie

Great service (ask for Lily), but the food was so-so at best. Very undercooked steak; had to send it back. Liquid mashed potatoes. Other Outbacks have better fare.

Western Washington University's new downtown office on the ground-level floor of the Herald Building officially opened for business on Monday, September 21. Stop by during business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday) to tour the office and enjoy a free cup of Viking Blend provided by The Woods Coffee!
In April 2013, more than 1,100 people died in the collapse of Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh. Only miles away, Luke Swanson ('10) was researching climate change. Widely regarded as the deadliest disaster in the garment history, the building housed five garment factories whose workers either lost their lives or livelihoods when the shoddily-built building collapsed. Enter Swanson and Tripty.
Nary a day goes by without a headline about this happening to a major retailer, banking system, government agency or website holding personal information. Securing online information has become paramount across industries. To address the need for cybersecurity experts, Western first partnered with Whatcom Community College to develop a follow-on bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, and recently approved the 2015-16 budget to include funding for a new cybersecurity program at Olympic and Peninsula colleges.
Lizzi Jackson ('14) threw her hat in the ring for the title of Miss Washington 2015 on July 3 and walked away with a crown. She, as the new state titleholder, will compete for the title of Miss America 2016 beginning Sept. 13.
Harrison Mills ('12, Design) and Clayton Knight ('12, Physics) are the electronic dance music duo ODESZA, a partnership forged during their senior year. The year they graduated, the Washington state natives watched two songs from their debut album, "Summer's Gone" – "How Did I Get Here" and "iPlayYouListen" – go viral via SoundCloud.
Juxtaposing the fresh upholstery and brand new cubicles are two very unique pieces of furniture transformed from ancient wood into the main gathering spots at Western City Center.

Primary care physicians need a brief and accurate screening test of dementia. The objective of this study was to determine whether a short form of Mini-Mental State Examination (SMMSE) was as accurate as the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) in screening dementia.
Based on case control design study, SMMSE and MMSE were assessed in 184 community-dwelling older adults (mean age 81.3 ± 6.5 years, 71.7% women) with memory complaint sent by their primary care physician to a memory clinic. Included participants were separated into two groups: cognitively healthy individuals and demented individuals.
The trade-off between sensitivity and specificity of the SMMSE for clinically diagnosed dementia was 4. Based on the cut-off value ≤ 4 for SMMSE and a cut-off value ≤ 24 for MMSE, the sensitivity of both tests was similar (89.5% for SMMSE versus 90.0% for MMSE), whereas the specificity, the positive predictive values (PPV) and the negative predictive values (NPV) were higher for SMMSE compared to MMSE (85.4 versus 75.5% for specificity; 95.5% versus 92.8% for PPV; 70.0 versus 68.9 for NPV). The positive and negative Likehood Ratio (LR) of SMMSE were higher than those of MMSE (respectively, 6.1 versus 3.7; 8.1 versus 7.7). In addition, odds ratio (OR) for dementia was higher for the SMMSE compared to the MMSE (OR = 49.8 with 95% confident interval (CI) [18.0; 137.8] versus OR = 28.6 with 95% CI [11.6; 70.3]).
SMMSE seems to be an efficient short screening test for dementia among community-dwelling older adults with a memory complaint. Further research is needed to confirm its predictive values among unselected primary care older patients.
Dementia is an acquired clinical syndrome that associates memory decline and at least one other cognitive function decline, all disturbing social or daily living activities [1]. An estimated 50% of patients over 65 are not diagnosed by their primary care physician, and most missed cases are mild to moderate [2,3]. As yearly incidence of dementia increases with age, the under-diagnosis of dementia in primary care will probably increase in the future [3]. This under-diagnosis is in part related to a limited time for in-depth consideration of cognitive difficulties of primary care patients [1-3].
Since 2003, the U.S. preventive services task force highlighted that the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was the best-studied instrument to screen cognitive impairment in selected patients with cognitive impairment [1]. This test is scored out of 30, a score of 24 or less suggesting dementia [1-3]. Although the MMSE is the most widely used screening test in specialized clinical setting, it is little used by primary care physicians because it is time-consuming (e.g.; around 20 minutes to perform), and is thus hardly practicable during routine office visits [3]. Several short screening tests for dementia have been developed but their positive predictive values (PPV) were low, calculated around 50% [1]. Therefore, for dementia screening, primary care physicians need a brief and accurate screening test, applicable during clinical practice among patients with cognitive complaint.
Episodic memory is a memory system that enables individuals to remember events, times and places acquired through personal experience. Episodic memory impairment is the most frequent symptom of dementia and the most common complaint [1-3]. A brief cognitive test based on the evaluation of episodic memory impairment with sufficient sensitivity, specificity and predictive values could therefore serve as a useful screening tool for dementia. Among the 30 items of the MMSE that address multiple cognitive domains, 6 items specifically assessing episodic memory can be fortunately distinguished [4]. The time needed to complete these 6 episodic memory items is much shorter compared to the 30 items of the whole MMSE. What is more, since MMSE is widely used for a long time all over the world [1-3], physicians usually know it and the way to use it. These two points suggest that a short test based on the 6 episodic memory items of the MMSE would be easily used by physicians to detect dementia. Its accuracy remains yet to be determined. We hypothesized that the 6 memory items of the MMSE could be used alone to build a Short form of Mini-Mental State Examination (SMMSE) with sufficient sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values to serve as a good screening test for dementia in older adults with memory complaint. The aim of this study was to determine whether the SMMSE was as accurate as the MMSE in screening dementia among older ambulatory participants with a memory complaint.
On hundred eighty four participants (41 cognitively healthy individuals (CHI) and 143 demented individuals (DI)) were included in this case control design study between January 2009 and December 2009, after obtaining their informed consent or the agreement of the trusted person, as appropriate. Consent forms were acquired from all participants sent for a memory complaint by their primary care physician to the memory clinic of Angers University Hospital, France. The eligible criteria for inclusion in this study were age 65 and over, ambulatory, adequate ability to understand and speak French and no acute medical illness in the past month. The exclusion criteria were active depression and mild cognitive impairment. The classification of normal cognition and dementia were determined at a weekly interdisciplinary conference based on the neuropsychological and behavioural tests performance, as well as physical examination findings, blood values and brain imaging findings. The diagnosis of dementia followed the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders fourth edition (DSM-IV) criteria [4]. Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia were diagnosed according to respectively the NINCDS-ADRDA criteria for probable AD and the criteria of the DSM-IV [5,6]. This study was in accordance with the ethical standards set forth in the declaration of Helsinki (1983). The local ethics committee of Angers University Hospital (Committee for the Protection of People West-2, Angers, France) approved the project.
Neuropsychological evaluation
Neuropsychological evaluation was performed during a face-to-face examination carried out by a neuropsychologist. The following standardized tests were used to probe several aspects of cognitive function: the MMSE [4], the Cognitive Assessment Battery (CAB) [7], the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) [8], and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) [9]. The CAB assesses cognitive function as a whole (i.e., memory, language, praxia, spatiotemporal orientation and reasoning). It is composed of 96 items and its completion time is around 45 minutes. Score range varies from 0 to 96, with 96 indicating a normal cognitive functioning [7]. The FAB is a validated, short bedside questionnaire designed to assess both cognitive and behavioural changes in frontal lobe dysfunctions [8]. The FAB is a scale composed of 6 subtests (conceptualization, mental shifting, motor programming, sensitivity to interference, inhibitory control, and environment autonomy). It can be performed in approximately 10 minutes. Score range varies from 0 to 18, a score of 18 indicating normal executive functioning [8]. The IADL is a scale evaluating the autonomy to perform the instrumental activities of daily living (i.e., using transportation, managing finances, using the phone, managing medicines) [9]. Each affected function is marked 0. Score range varies from 0 to 4, a score under 3 indicating disability [9].
The SMMSE score was built from the 6 memory items of the MMSE. It was calculated following the formula: [immediate recall of 3 words + delayed recall of 3 words]. The score ranged from 0 to 6, with 6 indicating the best performance.
The participants' baseline characteristics were summarized using means and standard deviations or frequencies and percentages, as appropriate. Participants were separated into two groups: CHI and DI. Comparisons between groups were performed using t-test for independent samples or Chi-square, as appropriate. Uni and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to specify the association between dementia (dependent variable) and SMMSE (independent variable) adjusted on baseline characteristics. Sensitivity analysis consisted of building a receiver operator curve (ROC) by computing the sensitivity and specificity of each SMMSE score (from 0 to 6), to determine the most discriminated threshold maximizing both sensitivity and specificity (Figure 1). Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, negative predictive value (NPV), positive and negative likehood ratio (LR), and odds ratio (OR) for dementia were calculated for the SMMSE based on the cut-off value determined by the sensitive analysis, and for the MMSE based on the cut-off value ≤ 24 [1-3]. P-values < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant. All statistics were performed using SPSS (version17.0; SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL) and Dag-stat a spreadsheet for the calculation of comprehensive statistics for the assessment of diagnostic tests [10].

The diagnosis of dementia included 53.8% (n = 99) Alzheimer's disease (AD), 14.7% (n = 27) vascular dementia and 9.2% (n = 17) other dementia. DI were older than CHI (P < 0.001) and had lower score on MMSE (P < 0.001), SMMSE (P < 0.001), CAB (P < 0.001), FAB (P < 0.001) and IADL (P < 0.001) (Table 1). There was no significant between-group difference regarding the other clinical characteristics. The ROC curve showed an area of 0.93 for SMME and of 0.95 for MMSE (Figures 1a and 1b). In logistic regression models, SMMSE score was negatively associated with dementia (P < 0.001) and age was positively associated with dementia (P < 0.001 for unadjusted model, P = 0.002 for fully adjusted) (Table 2). The trade-off between sensitivity and specificity of the SMMSE for clinically diagnosed dementia was 4. Based on the cut-off value ≤ 4 for SMMSE and a cut-off value ≤ 24 for MMSE, the sensitivity of both tests was similar (89.5% for SMMSE versus 90.0% for MMSE), whereas the specificity, the PPV and the NPV were higher for SMMSE compared to MMSE (respectively, 85.4 versus 75.5% for specificity; 95.5% versus 92.8% for PPV; 70.0 versus 68.9 for NPV). The positive and negative LR of SMMSE were higher than those of the MMSE (respectively, 6.1 versus 3.7; 8.1 versus 7.7). In addition, OR for dementia was higher for the SMMSE than the MMSE (OR = 49.8 with 95% confident interval (CI) [18.0;137.8] versus OR = 28.6 with 95% CI [11.6;70.3]) (Table 3).

Table 3. Performance of SMMSE and MMSE for the diagnosis of dementia (n = 184)
Our results showed that the SMMSE score was strongly associated with the diagnosis of dementia. In addition, a score ≤ 4 of SMMSE had a higher specificity, PPV, NPV, positive and negative LR than a MMSE score ≤ 24.
The SMMSE appears to be a good new screening test for dementia among older adults presenting with a memory complaint. We showed a strong association between a score ≤ 4 and dementia which is in concordance with previous studies reporting that memory tests had a high discriminative validity for dementia [1-3,11]. AD has been identified as the most prevalent dementia in older adults, which was the case in our studied sample [1]. Because memory impairments are highly prevalent in AD, it is not surprising that a test based on memory may screen dementia with a high predictive value [1,11]. However, compared to previous studies, SMMSE did not use an encoding specificity because it follows the instructions of assessment of MMSE [1-3,11]. SMMSE thus assesses not only episodic memory (encoding and retrieval phase) but also semantic memory, attention and probably executive functions deficit.
In clinical practice, when older patients present with a memory complaint, the first issue is to make a diagnosis and determine whether they are demented or not. A screening test able to identify patient who have dementia is therefore of prime importance for daily practice [1,11]. Discriminative validity of SMMSE for dementia was high compared to MMSE in our study. In addition, unlike previous short screening tests for dementia, SMMSE had a higher PPV than MMSE calculated at 95.5 [1]. The SMMSE could thus be used in clinical practice as an efficient screening test for dementia in older adults with a memory complaint.
The second issue in primary care settings is related to the under-diagnosis of dementia [1-3]. Several explanations account for this problem which is not only due to the lack of diagnostic skill, but rather to a pressure on time [3]. Because MMSE takes up to 20 minutes to complete, it may not be practical in primary care practice. In contrast, SMMSE is shorter to perform, easier and more accessible compared to MMSE. As a consequence, SMMSE could be proposed to general practitioners as a fast screening tool for dementia.
Our findings showed that DI were older than CHI and that age was significantly associated with dementia. This was in concordance with previous studies as it is long known that the primary risk factor of dementia is the advance in age [6,7,11]. We also reported that there were no association between the female gender or the use of psychoactive drugs and the diagnosis of dementia. These results were discordant with some previous published data having identified female gender as a risk factor of dementia [12]. Furthermore, demented patients frequently use psychoactive drugs due to behavioral disorders [13]. An explanation for our mixed results could rely on the fact that both groups of participants were old in our study, with a proportion of females using psychoactive drugs that is usually high among this population [14]. This phenomenon could mask the classical associations with gender and psychoactive drugs in our sample of demented patients.
Our study has several limitations. First, we used of a case control design which may limit the exploration of the association between SMMSE score and dementia, compared to a cohort design. Second, although we were able to control for many confounders likely to modify the relationship between SMMSE score and dementia, residual potential confounders may still be present. Third, SMMSE was built from MMSE score and not performed as a single test that may probably induce variation in score.
SMMSE seems to be a short screening test for dementia in older adults with memory complaint. Further research is needed to confirm its predictive values in primary care older patients.

Review: 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters' sets the bar high for 2013's worst films
I reviewed Tommy Wirkola's "Dead Snow" at Sundance back in 2009, and I was not a fan. As I said in that piece, "'Dead Snow' takes a really great monster to build a film around - Nazi zombies - and somehow adds up to total mediocrity in execution." Well, looks like Wirkola is two for two now. When you're making a film called "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters," you can approach it as a horror film first, or you can approach it as a dark comedy, or you could perhaps approach it as a really boring action movie that flubs both the horror and the comedy.
Guess which approach Wirkola opted for.
The script by Wirkola and Dante Harper opens with a very dark rendition of the classic Hansel and Gretel story, and right away, it feels like they're rushing to get through that moment instead of taking the time to tell it. I think it's actually sort of clever to start with that fairy tale, let us really see what that witch is like, and then once the kids deal with her and save themselves, jump forward to see that they've taken this on as their life's work. I can see how that premise could work. It just doesn't work here, in this film.
Part of the problem, as I mentioned, is tone. FIrst, you've got the witches, and they're portrayed as creepy monsters, as many different types of witch as there are actors to play them. There's some nice make-up design, and Famke Janssen as the main witch, Muriel, certainly does what she can to make the role interesting. But any good work done in thinking up the witches in the film is undone by the script, which not only fumbles the horror elements, but which also manages to make every action scene noisy without ever once making one of them thrilling.
Jeremy Renner is on autopilot here. There's nothing interesting about the character, and Gemma Arterton is similarly beached by the script. Every conversation, ever line, every beat is about plot. They are blanks as characters. It's like the thinking stopped with "… and then they fight witches." As you can imagine, if there's nothing interesting about the main characters, the rest of the cast doesn't stand a chance. Thomas Mann, the start of last year's "Project X," plays a local kid who has collected newspaper clippings about the witch-hunting career of Hansel and Gretel, and he is excited to get a chance to help them with their latest job. Honestly, the most interesting character in the film is a troll played by Derek Mears and voiced by Robin Atkin Downes, but Wirkola doesn't know what to do with the character.
That's really the easiest way to sum up the entire production. There's good work by individual departments, and it certainly looks like a movie, but it is inert from opening to closing. It is a simulated movie. I hate that feeling, like everyone stopped working the minute someone said the title, like that was all the effort anyone needed to make. I had the same reaction to "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," but at least that film came first. How lazy is that? "Hey, someone took a famous name and a monster and put the word 'hunter' after it. We could do that, too." Yes, but why? I can't imagine Wirkola would ever take this movie down from the DVD shelf and watch it for pleasure, so why should I cut it any slack? I love horror movies. I love action movies. I love wicked crazy comedies. I love it when someone plays some sort of clever meta-textual game. I love all the ingredients here, but it's so flat that I can't, in good conscience, even give it a pass.
The greatest crime in modern studio filmmaking is the waste of assets. When I see a small film where the filmmakers obviously didn't have much at their disposal but they have figured out how to make the most of it, I can't help but give the filmmakers an extra bit of credit for the way they met the challenge. So the opposite is also true. When I see a filmmaker given a wealth of resources and the support of a studio like Paramount and what they come up with is this dull, this uninspired, this much of a waste of time and money, I find it just that little bit more offensive. Wirkola's work so far is like a big plate full of soyburgers that look delicious but which have no flavor at all, undercooked and unpleasant. Spare yourself and skip this trip through the woods, because there's nothing to see here.

Historical Traveler Reviews Marconfort Benidorm Suites
5 star service at 3 star hotel !
Spent 1 week at the Flamingo and had a really good time. Despite the name this is a proper hotel, so dont be worried. Very clean hotel, all staff very very friendly and genuine. Food first rate, the best weve had abroad ! Snacks and drinks all day till mid-night if you are all inclusive (well recommended) All rooms have lounge area with tv, seperate kitchen area with hob and fridge, bathroom and bedroom. Air con aint gonna freeze you but its better than nothing, remove your key card from your key ring and leave it in the slot by the door to keep the aircon running while you are out and leave your curtains closed all day as the sun is right in all rooms all day. Nice big double width balconys to all rooms also, great for sitting and admiring the Manhattan style skyline at sunset. Lovely swimming pool though bit noisy when busy. If you value a prime spot for your sun lounger get down to join the q at about 8.30am and wait for the doors to the pool terrace to be unlocked and join the sprint !!!! All the sunbeds are stacked at 8pm nightly which is good. Only saw one cockroach in a corridor during whole stay. Adult entertainment isnt exactly Las Vegas but by then you should be well oiled on the free hooch to even care. Hotel is about 10 minute walk down gently sloping road to beach. Best bars are along seafront, try The Guiness Bar for a top night with live music. Enjoy (-:

and we all enjoyed it. Food was good and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff.
The apartments were cleaned daily and towels and bedding changed daily as well
The entainment was ok and the two entertainment girls gave 100% all the time.
I would recomend this hotel to anybody young or old single or with a family.
The only downside was the slight incline back up the hotel was hard going in the heat
Can't be beat
This is the best 3* hotel we have ever stayed in. The hotel is kept ultra clean ( the cleaners are still working at 8-30 p.m.) The pool is clean and healthy, staff very friendly, entertainment varied from karaoke to comedians, illusionists and hypnotists, and thats just on the outside area. Inside there is disco and duo singing. Quizzes, bingo , daytime activities, Adult t.v. room, childrens t.v. room, games rooms, and room for everybody around the pool. Internet cafe, daily papers at reception, vending machines for out of hours snacks/drinks. This is the only hotel we have stayed in that has a full sunday roast as good as england. The food is delicious, plentiful and varied. One of the receptionists is from Kings Lynn and one of the chefs is an ex marine from Portsmouth. Book in you will enjoy !
The best of the best!!
This place is just fab!! nice clean accomadation, v friendly staff, clean safe pool, just perfect, inact going back this year!! all I can say is "BOOK IT NOW!!!"
What can we say absoutely brill best hotel in benidorm
We have stayed at the flamingo twice recently once in summer and once in winter, we think it's a brilliant hotel which cannot be faulted on anything, we enjoy benidorm and have visited on many occasions and stayed in various accommodations, but this hotel is the best there is and we would not stay anywhere else in benidorm now.
We were there in feb 2004 and hope to return in oct 04
The best in the world
the flamingo hotel offers good entaintement for the young and old ie: saunas, swimming pools
it was the best hotel i have ever been to.
Loved It Best Holiday Ever!!
Its the best holiday i have been on yet! the entertainment is brilliant and all the staff and waiters are really friendly. The beach is close and the pool is very nice. Also the rooms are good and the food is too.
Its Great!
I went to the Flamingo Bendidorm about a year ago and my parents are trying to save up some more money so we can go again this year because it was so excellent. I loved it! The food was superb and the appartments were spacious, they were nothing you would expect for a holiday. I had just so much fun! I recommend this holiday for everyone!
Loved it
Had a great time. the hotel was lovely and the rooms were spacious and kept clean daily. the food was good and was available all day, which was great. the barmen were very entertaining and they were the highlight of the hotel, so if you see, thomas, maninolow, raya and alex say hi to them for me, oh, and ask raya to make you a coctail, he makes great ones, the best was called sex behind the bar. if you get a chance to stay there, then do it, but if your young go in june or july as i went in march and it was full of old people who named me the p*** head and the entertainers called me the nutter when i sang my kareoke.
looking forward to going back soon
Saving Hard To Go Back AGAIN
Went for a 'girlie' holiday with two of my sisters. We laughed and had fun from beginning to end of the holiday. Food was excellant, staff very very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
Ideal location. About ten minutes walk to the beach and bars. About 20 minutes stagger back from the bars!!!! Close enough to shops, bars and beach but far enough if you want to get away from everything. Came home with post holiday blues. Decided to learn Spanish, saving hard to go back. I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THE HOLIDAY.

Day Camp & Tessa Time
... the group of 40 was going on a field trip, taking the tram to an Archaeological site.
While the big girls are at camp, mom gets Tessa time! It is so awesome and unusual to have many hours to kill alone with Tess. We frequent the library, the market, neighborhood parks, and internet cafes where Tess watches a show while I do my Edgewood work.
The orange tanktop
... and realizing lots of life's conveniences I can actually do without. It was neat to meet the people who lived in the floors below us, and when we run into them on the elevator we chat with each other. This is one of the many "quests" the girls have been involved
in… the quest to find a day camp, the quest to find where we're going, the quest to locate peanut butter in the supermarket, the quest to learn how recycling works. I think ...
Tapas Crawl
... own toppings. We
get ice cream at least once each day.
We strolled along past the gay pride festival in the plaza
and found a seat overlooking the music and in this open plaza. Moira and Celia
are like magnets with other kids their age, and quickly involved themselves in
some pi-ca-choo (Spanish paper scissors rock)
El atico espectacular
Our place is called "The spectacular attic" and the name couldn't be more appropriate. What makes the place an attic is that it's located on the 10th floor of a building across the street from the beach. Here is the view from our amazing (and somewhat treacherous) patio.
What makes the place ...
... the throbbing legs and feet, the shoulders in agony from the backpack, I grew to hate it. The rain whilst climbing mountains, the graffiti (who wants to know Claude was here), the litter that lazy people left strewn around. On reflection the Camino is not a walk, it is a lifetime experience, it changes your thoughts on life, people, things. It kind of begins when you ...

The City of Melbourne's Stormwater Utility assessments were first implemented in 1999. The City began using these funds to construct flood prevention projects, as well as stormwater treatment systems that clean polluted stormwater before it can enter Melbourne's waterways. Though considerable progress has been made, it has not been enough to treat all of the stormwater runoff that drains into the Lagoon. In 2007, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, mandated the City reduce the amount of nutrients entering the Indian River Lagoon in order to improve water quality conditions that are necessary for the re-growth of seagrass.
The reduction mandate is significant and achieving the reductions will require many capital stormwater treatment projects. It is estimated that it will cost the City $196 million to achieve the current and anticipated mandated reductions. The City's Stormwater Quality Master Plan identifies 46 projects to be completed as a first step toward meeting the mandates. These projects alone are estimated to cost more than $20 million. The City of Melbourne increased the assessment rate in 2014.
The City is currently working on several stormwater projects that will eliminate pollutants from the stormwater runoff entering the Indian River Lagoon. Some of these projects include:
- 2nd Generation Nutrient Baffle Boxes
- South Croton Road
- Garfield Street
- Bell Street
- Paradise Boulevard
- Melbourne Avenue
- Young Street
- South Sarno Drainage Improvements
- Stormwater quality retrofit project that will treat for an existing drainage basin 1,475 acres in size that currently has very little existing stormwater treatment.
- Southwest Park Drainage Improvements near Florida Avenue
- Upsizing existing pipes to allow for improved drainage and the installation of a 2nd generation nutrient baffle box
Illicit Discharge Laws
It is illegal to dispose of yard debris, pet waste, chemicals, oil, or trash into the stormwater system.
While many people are not aware that their daily activities can produce illicit discharges, others deliberately dump pollutants or have illegal pipe connections into the storm drain system.
Regardless of whether the source is intentional or unintentional, it is illegal to dispose of anything into a storm drain. The Melbourne City Council, continuing its commitment to prevent stormwater pollution enacted the Illicit Discharge Ordinance, which establishes rules and provides for penalties, to prohibit illicit discharges and connections into the stormwater drainage system. Illicit Discharge Ordinance.
Did you know?
The Largest source of stormwater pollution in Melbourne is the general public? The most common pollutants are trash (fast food wrappers, cigarette butts & Styrofoam cups) and toxins (used from motor oil, anti-freeze, fertilizer, pesticides, sewage overflow & pet waste).

CANBERRA – Australian vehicle production, so far, has not suffered as thousands of workers at some 15 automotive parts makers walk off the job over stalled negotiations for new contracts.

Union officials notified the companies of the stoppages as part of a campaign to secure an agreement. The walkouts range from four to 24 hours. ...

Full case report
Wainwright v Home Office
Reference [2003] UKHL 53; [2004] 2 AC 406; [2003] 3 WLR 1137; [2003] 3 All ER 943
Court House of Lords
Judge Lords Bingham, Hoffmann, Hope, Hutton & Scott
Date of Judgment 16 Oct 2003
Tort – Intentional infliction of harm – Visitors to prison strip-searched for drugs – Distress and humiliation inflicted – Privacy – Article 8 European Convention on Human Rights – Whether English common law recognises a cause of action for invasion or privacy- Remedies
The Claimants, a mother and son, were strip-searched for drugs on a prison visit in 1997 in breach of the Prison Rules and they were humiliated and distressed. The second Claimant, who was mentally impaired and suffered from cerebral palsy, developed PTSD. The judge held that trespass to the person, consisting of wilfully causing a person to do something to himself which infringed his right to privacy, had been committed against both Claimants and that trespass to the person, consisting of wilfully causing a person to do something calculated to cause him harm, had been committed against the second claimant in addition to a battery. He awarded basic and aggravated damages of £2,600 to the first Claimant and £4,500 to the second Claimant. The Court of Appeal allowed the Home Office's appeal against the finding of trespass, dismissed the first claimant's claim and reduced the award of damages to the second claimant. The Home Office did not appeal the finding of battery.
Whether English common law recognises a cause of action for invasion of privacy and/or for intentional infliction of emotional harm.
- There was no common law tort of invasion of privacy; that creation of such a tort required a detailed approach which could only be achieved by legislation rather than the broad brush of common law principle; that adoption of a right to privacy as a principle of law in itself was not necessary to comply with Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights; and that any gaps in existing remedies for breaches of Article 8 by public authorities had been filled by sections 6 and 7 Human Rights Act 1998;
- That in so far as there might be a tort of intention to cause harm under which damages for distress which did not amount to recognised psychiatric injury might be recoverable the necessary intention was not established on the facts of the case.
This is the first time the House of Lords has been asked to declare whether an action for invasion of privacy exists in English law. The case confirmed the widely held view that declaration of a general right to privacy is beyond the acceptable limits of judicial development of the common law. But the precise demarcation between judicial development and the need for legislation is not clear. Beyond leaving for another day the question of whether the action for breach of confidence might be further expanded and renamed 'invasion of privacy' the judgment gives little indication of the potential limits. Given that Parliament has no intention of enacting such legislation there will inevitably be cases where victims of violations of Article 8 ECHR will still have to apply to Strasbourg for a remedy.
