So what is the deal with this "Logmein,com" scam? Just had a friend get scammed by these crooks and she actually let them take control of her computer for over 10 min before unplugging her laptop. She did not turn over and credit card info or anything. What are the chances that her entire C drive was copied? Apparently the criminals (from India) surfed around the Event Viewer and tried to scare her that her PC was infected and needed special software to clean it. Session ended shortly after that. She was yelled at by a rather large group of people over this foolish action. What an idiot.
Very large teams of criminals in India are using these sites heavily for online social engineering scams.
and many others.

Did you see Bully Movie yet? Bullying seems to be a continuous and serious problem. La Jolla Country Day school in La Jolla CA has faced multiple bullying lawsuits by students. Friends I know recently chose to pull their kids from La Jolla Country day school due to complete incompetence and inaction by school staff. In 2011, although no damages were awarded, La Jolla Country Day School was found negligent and in breach of contract over a bullying lawsuit. Bullying at La Jolla Country Day School, a prestigious private school costing $20k/year, seems to continue.

I recently traveled to New York. On the plane, I met an actress named Lenora. During the long flight, I learned that a) she's Jewish, b) she works as an actress, and c) was doing a play in the hyper-liberal city of Santa Monica, Calif. Not exactly, I thought, a Reagan Republican.
She asked about my business in New York, and I told her I intended to do a series of TV shows to promote my new book.
"What is the title?" she asked.
Because so many recoil at the title -- finding it offensive -- I decided to talk about the book first. It argues that the civil rights war is over, and the good guys won; that white racism no longer remains a serious problem in America; and that so-called civil rights leaders and their sympathizers -- the media and the Democratic Party -- either believe or want Americans (especially blacks) to believe that race and racism remain a major problem.
"Why," Lenora asked, "if it is no longer a big issue, does the Democratic Party say or believe otherwise?"
"In the case of the Democratic Party," I said, "they cannot win at the presidential level without the 90 to 95 percent monolithic black vote. That is why someone like Democratic Congressman Barney Frank referred to Hurricane Katrina as 'ethnic cleansing by inaction.' He argued -- I kid you not -- that Bush intentionally responded slowly to Katrina so that it would displace blacks from the state, turning Louisiana into more of a red, or pro-Republican, state. This is why," I continued, "Al Gore's former campaign manager, Donna Brazile, referred to the Republican Party as possessing a 'white-boy attitude.'"
When I finished the summary of the book, I said, now here's its title: "Stupid Black Men: How to Play the Race Card -- and Lose."
She paused, and said, "Fantastic title."
Lenora then told me about her play, "Black and Bluestein." It, too, concerns race relations. It's the playwright's (Jerry Mayer, "Bluestein" in the play) autobiographical account of what happened in St. Louis in 1963. Mayer and his father built a housing development. Mayer intended to sell his own house, and move into a new development that he and his father were building only a couple of blocks away. But uh-oh, a black man, Dr. Daniel Black, wanted to buy Mayer's house for him and his family.
What to do?
The other residents in the development (Lenora May, the actress I met on the plane, played a bigoted neighbor) held a vote, and 70 percent wanted Bluestein to refuse to sell to the black family. Furthermore, selling to a black family would threaten the success of Bluestein's new development as the word spread that a black family moved in only a couple of blocks away. How will this change the neighborhood? And what about the threat to property values?

I have a nice Paso who is very scared of ropes. We think that he have might had experience with snakes before we got him. It has been really dangerous having him around when he is so scared of it.
One time I dropped the lead rope and he went bolting off, through a fence!
I really would like to get rid of this problem. I have dragged the rope all around him in the round pen, but it doesn't really help. He is used to it touching him and being on him. But when its on the ground he is completely scared.
Is there anything I could do to stop this problem?

or inhibit health behavior development and/or change and maintenance. Social support, peer pressure, and family environment are powerful reinforcers of behavior throughout the life cycle. Such sociocultural influences must be considered potential agents of change as we come to better understand and define their parameters.
Environmental factors, including characteristics of the physical setting as well as legal and policy issues, are also potent determiners of health behaviors. Access to exercise facilities, health assessment procedures, cigarette machines, the availability of "prudent diet" menus and information at school or workplace cafeterias, ambient air quality, noise level, lighting at work and home, the "corporate culture," the statutory regulations concerning smoking, seat belts, and bicycle helmets all influence health behavior and presumably health outcomes ( 16).
It has been argued, in fact, that in the absence of environmental changes, the likelihood of maintaining individual health behavior change is quite low ( 17). Thus, programs that focus on the intrapersonal and interpersonal levels without considering concomitant environmental modification are unlikely to achieve the desired long-term effects.
If this were not sufficiently complex, our model must also differentiate between the processes of health behavior development (e.g., smoking prevention, development of prudent dietary habits), health behavior change (shifting from healthdestructive to health-protective behaviors), and health behavior maintenance (adherence, preventing relapse). The technical approaches may be quite different in achieving the objectives in each area. Differences in populations and unique strategies based on the special needs of these populations may also apply.
Our experiences in the fields of learning and behavior modification at the clinical and small-group levels have also entered the public health domain through concepts of social marketing ( 18, 19), communication ( 20, 21), community organization ( 22), and social learning ( 23). These theoretical models designed to influence the lifestyle behaviors of populations (e.g., communities) are presently being tested in several community risk-reduction programs throughout Europe and the United States ( 24- 26).
In summary, there are exciting developments taking place in behavioral medicine-psychologists, physicians, nurses, health educators, epidemiologists, and many others have much to offer each other in seeking biobehavioral solutions to problems of health and illness. Using Neal Miller's classic statement on the subject as our watchword -- "we must be bold in what we try, but cautious in what we claim" ( 27) -- we can be sure of a long and viable future for this field.

How to Treat a Torn Calf Muscle
Four Parts:Consulting With ProfessionalsTreating Grade I Calf StrainsTreating Grade II Calf StrainsTreating Grade III Calf StrainsQuestions and Answers
The two muscles that work in conjuncture to form the lower leg (or calf) are the deeper soleus muscle and the more superficial (closer to the skin) gastrocnemius muscle. These muscles connect the heel to the back of the knee and act to plantar flex the ankle, which is necessary for walking, running, jumping and kicking. A calf strain injury usually occurs nearer the heel within the Achilles tendon due to sudden acceleration or deceleration.[1] All muscle strains are categorized as either Grade I (tearing of a few muscle fibers), Grade II (more extensive muscle fiber damage) or Grade III (complete rupture of the muscle).[2] Getting a proper diagnosis of your calf muscle strain is crucial because it determines the type of treatment protocols you should follow.
Part 1
Consulting With Professionals
1Schedule an appointment with your doctor. If you develop calf pain that won't go away after a few days, then schedule an appointment with your family physician. Your doctor will examine your leg and calf muscles, ask questions about your lifestyle and how you might have injured it, and maybe even take X-rays of your lower leg (to rule out a fracture of the tibia and fibula bones). However, your family doctor is not a musculoskeletal specialist, so you may need a referral to another doctor with more specialized training.
- Other types of healthcare professionals who could help diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries include osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapists and massage therapists.
2See a specialist about your leg. Calf muscle injuries are usually just mild Grade I strains, but sometimes surgery is required if the muscles are badly torn. Furthermore, some serious medical conditions can cause calf pain or refer pain to that region, such as a bone fracture, bone cancer, bone infection (osteomyelitis), venous insufficiency, sciatica from a lumbar disc herniation or complications related to diabetes.[3] As such, medical specialists such as an orthopedist (bone and joint specialist), neurologist (nerve specialist) or physiatrist (muscle and bone specialist) may be needed to rule out the most serious causes of your calf pain.
- X-rays, bone scans, MRI, CT scan and ultrasound are modalities that specialists may use to help diagnose your lower leg pain.
- Calf muscle injuries are relatively common among those who play basketball, football, soccer and volleyball, as well as those who run track and field.
3Understand the various types of treatments available. Make sure you get the doctor to clearly explain the diagnosis, especially the cause (if possible), and provide you with various treatment options for your condition. Rest and home care modalities (such as ice) are only appropriate for mild-to-moderate calf muscle strains, and obviously not for more serious causes such as fractures, infections, tumors, diabetes or spinal disc degeneration, which need more invasive or doctor-dependent treatments.
- Research calf injuries on the internet (only medically reputable sites) in order to flesh out your understanding of the condition and learn more about treatments and their expected outcomes.
- Factors that can predispose someone to a muscle strain (or "pull") include older age, previous muscle injury, less flexibility, lack of strength in the muscle and fatigue.[4]
Part 2
Treating Grade I Calf Strains
1Identify the seriousness of the injury. Most calf strains are minor injuries and self-heal within a week -- the degree of pain, disability and bruising are good indicators of seriousness. Grade I muscle strains involve micro-tears of up to 10% of the muscle fibers.[5] They're characterized by mild pain twinges at the back of the lower leg, usually nearer the heel. Minimal loss of strength and motion is experienced. You may still be able to walk, run or play your sport, albeit with discomfort and tightness.
- Muscle strains occur when the force in the muscle is so great that the tissue tears, most commonly at the junction between where the muscles taper into tendons.
- Most Grade I lower leg strains cause discomfort for between 2 to 5 days post injury, but may take a few weeks to fully heal, depending on proportion of muscle fibers involved and the type of treatment sought.
2Utilize the R.I.C.E. treatment protocol. The most effective treatment protocol for most sprain / strain injuries is abbreviated R.I.C.E. and stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation.[6] The first step is rest -- temporarily stop all activity in order to address your injury. Next, cold therapy (ice wrapped in a thin towel or frozen gel packs) should be applied to the injury as soon as possible in order to stop any internal bleeding and reduce inflammation, preferably while your leg is elevated on a chair or stack of pillows (which also combats inflammation). Ice should be applied for 10-15 minutes every hour, then reduce the frequency as the pain and swelling subside over the course of a few days. Compressing the ice against your injury with a compression bandage or elastic support will also help stop the bleeding from the torn muscle fibers and associated inflammation.
- Don't tie the compression bandage too tight or leave it on for more than 15 minutes at a time because complete restriction of blood flow could cause more damage to your leg.
3Take over-the-counter medications. Your family doctor may recommend anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin, or possibly regular analgesics (pain killers) such as acetaminophen to help combat the inflammation and pain associated with your calf injury.[7]
- Keep in mind these medications are hard on your stomach, liver and kidneys, so they should be taken for no more than 2 weeks at a time.
4Practice calf stretches. Mild muscle strains respond well to some light stretching because it relieves muscle tension and promotes blood flow. Following the inflammatory phase of a muscle strain injury, some scar tissue forms, which is not as flexible as muscle fiber. Stretching helps the scar tissue remodel and become more flexible. Thus, take a towel or compression bandage and wrap it underneath your foot nearer the toes. Then grab each end with your hands and slowly pull back while slowly extending your leg and noting the deep stretch in your calf muscles -- hold for 20-30 seconds and then slowly release. Practice this stretch 3-5 times daily for 1 week, as long as your calf pain isn't exacerbated by it.
- Warming up then stretching your calf muscles prior to any athletic activity may help prevent injuries such as strains, sprains and muscle cramps.[8]
Part 3
Treating Grade II Calf Strains
1Differentiate between gastrocnemius vs. soleus strain. With a more serious strain, it's important to distinguish which muscle is involved to the greater extent: the deeper soleus or the more superficial "heads" of the gastrocnemius. MRI or diagnostic ultrasound may be needed to best diagnose the location and degree of the injury. Grade II strains involve more extensive damage, up to 90% of the muscle fibers may be torn. These injuries present with more pain (described as sharp in nature), significant loss of muscle strength and range of motion. Swelling is more severe and bruising quickly develops because of the internal bleeding from the torn muscle fibers.
- With Grade II strains, there's limited ability to perform activities, especially jumping and running, so you'll be sidelined for a while (a few weeks or more).
- The gastrocnemius muscle is considered at high risk for strains because it crosses two joints (knee and ankle) and has a high proportion of type-2 fast twitch muscle fibers[9]
- The medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle is strained more often than the lateral head.[10]
2Utilize the R.I.C.E. treatment protocol. This protocol is still appropriate for Grade II strains, although you may have to keep the ice on your calf for a little longer (up to 20 minutes at a time) if the deeper soleus muscle is the primary site of injury. Instead of using R.I.C.E for a few days as is the case with a mild strain, more severe strains will likely require attention for a week or more.
- Most Grade II lower leg strains cause significant discomfort for between 1 to 2 weeks post injury, depending on proportion of muscle fibers involved and the type of treatment sought. These types of muscle injuries may require 1-2 months before a complete return to athletics occurs.[11]
- For moderate to severe muscle strains, the use of anti-inflammatories should be restricted in the first 24–72 hours due to increased risk of bleeding from the anti-platelet (blood thinning) effect.[12]
3Seek out physical therapy. A Grade II strain is a relatively serious musculoskeletal injury that most likely involves significant scar tissue formation, as well as noticeably reduced range of motion and strength. As such, after the swelling, bruising and pain have mostly subsided, ask your doctor for a referral to a sports medicine specialist or physiotherapist who can offer a variety of tailored strengthening exercises, stretches, massage techniques and therapies such as therapeutic ultrasound (to reduce inflammation and break down scar tissue adhesions) and electronic muscle stimulation (to strengthen muscle fibers and promote blood flow).
Part 4
Treating Grade III Calf Strains
1Seek medical attention immediately. A Grade III strain is a complete rupture of the muscle body or tendon. It involves significant pain (burning and/or sharp in nature), immediately severe inflammation and bruising, muscle spasms and sometimes an audible "pop" as the muscle is severed.[15] There is also a palpable bulging defect in the calf as the larger severed portion strongly contracts. An inability to walk is characteristic of a Grade III calf strain, so assistance is usually needed to get to a hospital or clinic. The muscle fibers cannot reattach on their own, even with the help of scar tissue, so emergency intervention is required.
- A sudden tendon rupture (such as the Achilles tendon) is often excruciating and feels like someone has shot you from behind or struck you with something sharp. Stronger prescription pain killers may be needed for a few weeks post surgery
- A severely strained calf will likely bleed into your foot and turn it black and blue colored.
2Get surgical repairs. Grade III (and some Grade II) strains will require surgery to repair and reattach the damaged calf muscle and/or tendon. Time is of the essence because the longer a muscle is ruptured and severely contracted, the more difficult it is to stretch out and achieve normal muscle tone. Furthermore, internal bleeding can cause local necrosis (surrounding tissue death) and possibly even lead to anemia from blood loss. Ruptures within the belly of a muscle heal quicker because of the better blood supply, whereas tendon ruptures don't receive as much blood and take longer to heal. Revert to the R.I.C.E. protocol following surgery.
- In the case of complete ruptures, the calf muscles take about 3 months or so to heal following surgery and rehabilitation.[16]
- Post surgery, you'll likely wear a supportive compression boot and have to use crutches over the short term before progressing to physical therapy exercises.
3Spend time rehabilitating. Much like a Grade II strain, physical therapy is needed to heal a Grade III sprain, especially if surgery is needed. Under the guidance of a physiotherapist or physiatrist, tailored isometric, isotonic, and then dynamic training exercises can be added in a consecutive manner as each type of exercise is completed without pain.[17] These exercises will strengthen the calf muscles and return them to form. Return to athletic activity can resume slowly within 3-4 months, although there will always be a greater risk of re-injury in the future.
- Poor biomechanics or foot posture contribute to calf injuries, so you may be fit with custom foot orthotics after your rehabilitation to prevent further problems.
- You may also need a chiropractor to treat and re-align your ankle joint (stiffness is a common problem), once your calf muscle has healed.
Questions and Answers
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Wear a heel pad in your shoe for a few days to raise your heel and shorten the injured calf muscle, which will relieve some of the tension / pain. But don't forget about it because you may create an imbalance in your hips or low back.
- Ten days after the injury, the developing scar has the same tensile strength as the adjacent muscle and further progression of rehabilitative exercises can begin.[18]
- As a general rule for injury prevention (especially if you've already suffered a leg injury), remember to heat the calf area before any physical activity and then ice it down afterwards.

This gallery contains images of unsafe sex practices, also known as barebacking. Engaging in sexual practices without the use of a condom is a risky and unnecessary behavior. There are a lot of studios including the one listed on this page that film bareback or have bareback scenes in their content libraries. The images presented below should only be used for fantasy and you should not deceive yourself into thinking that "everyone is doing it." Further, you should not assume that just because you see photos or film content of barebacking that sexually transmitted diseases have been miraculously cured. HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases are very real and potentially lethal. Please practice safe sex in your own life and educate yourself regarding the dangers of not wearing a condom before having sexual encounters. Visit AMFAR for more information about safer sex.

Video Game: A Mind Forever Voyaging
The antechapel where the statue stood of Newton with his prism and silent face, the marble index of a mind for ever Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.A political text-adventure game designed and implemented by Steve Meretzky and published by Infocom in 1985. Really, though, it doesn't really fit the usual preconceptions of the genre... after all, there's only one puzzle and it takes place near the end. The term Interactive Fiction has seldom applied this well to a commercially published game. AMFV is among Infocom's most respected titles, although it was not a commercial success.It is the year 2031, and the player controls PRISM, the world's first sentient computer. The economy of the United States Of North America (USNA) is failing. Great numbers of youths are turning to "Joybooths" (a device which directly stimulates the sensory input of the brain) and committing suicide by over-stimulation. A new arms race involving nuclear weapons no larger than the size of a common pack of cigarettes threatens to turn the USNA into a police state. Unaware that it is a sophisticated computer, PRISM has been living for 11 years (in real-time, 20 years within the simulation) as an ordinary human, "Perry Simm." Dr. Abraham Perelman, PRISM's "father", informs Perry of his true nature and gently brings him from simulation mode into reality. Perelman explains that he has awakened PRISM so a vital mission can be performed: running a simulation of a revitalization plan (dubbed the Plan for Renewed National Purpose), sponsored by Senator Richard Ryder. The plan calls for "renewed national purpose" through de-regulation of government and industry, military conscription, a unilateral approach to diplomatic relations, and a return to traditional and fundamental values. PRISM will enter a simulation of a typical American town at 10 year intervals following the plan's enacting, and observe... for good or for bad.One of the most blatantly liberal games of all time, and, depending on your personal politics, you'll probably find either it a sustained headache or one of the most effective uses of Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped ever... it especially comes out against hyper-patriotism and the harmful effects of religious fanaticism. The political 'solution' offered at the end appears to be one of pacifism and social-welfare statism. However, the fact that its dystopian worlds are ones that you get to explore yourself makes up for a lot. In any case, it is one of the IF game most frequently cited as an inspiration by the current generation of interactive fiction authors, and worth checking out.As a side note, author Steve Meretzky said he was directly courting controversy with the political content of AMFV. When the game generated nearly no uproar at all, he "decided to write something with a little bit of sex in it, because nothing generates controversy like sex". The resulting game was Leather Goddesses Of Phobos, which was no more controversial but did sell a lot better.
— The Prelude, William Wordsworth
Provides Examples of:
- After the End: The 2081 simulation. All governmental authority has collapsed, buildings are decaying with no one to fix them, violent gangs rule the streets, and dogs have gone feral and prey on humans.
- Astral Finale
- Author Tract: The Plan the game focuses on is (largely) a deconstruction of Reagan-era policies.
- Big Brother Is Watching: The later sims.
- Controllable Helplessness: In the less grim simulations, breaking the law results in spending several turns in jail until you're released. In a later, extremely bleak, simulation, you're stuck there until executed. Fortunately, since it's a simulation, getting killed merely returns you to the non-simulation world.
- Corrupt Church: The Church of God's Word
- Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: In the simulations. In fact, you have to record some of your deaths to show how badly the plan is floundering.
- Death World: The 2081 simulation. It's nearly impossible to survive more than a few turns.
- Engineered Public Confession: In the endgame, Senator Ryder is all too happy to show his True Colors to Dr. Perelman. Your job is to let the world see them as well.
- Everything Trying to Kill You: The 2081 simulation. Described in the official hints as "very deadly", you almost always get killed in within a few turns. It doesn't help that by this point in the simulation's timeline PRISM's analogue is elderly.
- Feelies
- The Great Politics Mess-Up: The USSR is not only still in existence in 2031, it appears to have enjoyed a renaissance. The Soviet Bloc has expanded to include countries such as Greece and Guatemala. Also, South Africa is run by a black-dominated government that oppresses white people.
- Inside a Computer System
- Interactive Fiction
- Playable Epilogue: One of the greats.
- Raising Sim: Not in-game, but as a plot-element.
- Society Marches On: As a politically-oriented game, several elements seem quaint or out-of-place now.
- If you look at the polling data in Library Mode, you find The Plan (a generally traditionalist-conservative oriented political plan that would represent one of the most dramatic changes to the country in its history) enjoys only 5% less support among liberals than conservatives — finding such a close split on such a major piece of legislation in the more sharply-divided modern America (where far more minor changes have dramatic 20% splits by political affiliation) is unthinkable.
- The game treats several of the anti-terror measures Senator Ryder implements as horrifying, or at least worrying, to the scientists back in 2031. Some of them (like random mandatory door-to-door searches) would still be treated that way, but others (like random strip searches at airports) are now commonplace. The constant terror warnings scattered over the cities of 2051 and 2061 are also unlikely to strike most modern players as quite as dystopian as they were originally intended to be.
- Strawman Political: Senator Ryder.
- Suicide Is Painless: The ultimate effect of Joy Booths.
- Twisted Echo Cut: Prism wakes up this way after the intro to the game. Someone says his "in simulation" name, Perry Simm which, over the course of several slight modifications in text, turns into Prism, said by Dr. Perelman.
- Who Wants to Live Forever?: In the end, Prism chooses to live out a simulated normal human life, including an eventual death.

In Michigan, next year, the cut off to start Kindy is Nov 1st.
Will your child be going to kindergarten next year or doing young 5s? (or another year of preschool?) Please explain.
So I was a teacher for 5 years and teachers always said they could tell the younger students from the older students. It might be a kinder thing. By third grade that I taught it didn't seem to be an age thing anymore. I think it depends on the indiviadual child and what they are ready for.
My DS will miss the cut off date which is Aug. 31st in NC and his bday is 10/1. I am looking into testing him to start when he is 4. I think cognitively he will be ready. However we are going to watch his maturity level over the next year to see if he is mature enough to start kinder early.
If he doesn't go next year he will probably stay with the preschool he goes to now for an extra year.
Good luck.

The Crazy Mother
A suburban mother's role is to deliver children obstetrically once, and by car forever after.� ~Peter De Vries
Jess wife to Shane 7-7-7
DD Bailey 10-23-08
DS Wyatt 04-15-11
DD is in Preschool now and will do "Pre-K" next year. Cutoff is Sept 30th.
Cut off date here is Sept 30 but parents have the option of having kids tested in if their birthday is before Jan 1. I will have mine tested in to go early if they clearly pass then I will have them go in. They have been in preschool since they were 2 so I don't think they will have problems with the social issues and honestly I am not concerned with them passing the test either they have a fairly good grasp of things that they need to know. A date is such an arbitrary thing to me, as evidenced by the fact that they differ anywhere from 4-5 months apart, so I have a hard time believing that just because my kids were born 27 days after a date picked by a school board that they aren't ready to start school. I was an October baby and so was my brother and we both started early and we were both glad for it. The primary reason I am glad my mom put me in early is the reason I want to put my girls in early- most girls in my family develop early. I started my period when I was 9 so I was in the 4th grade. If my mom waited to start me when i was 5 I would have been in the 3rd grade... which would have just made the gap between me and my peers all the more noticable. For my brother he had dyslexia, mom was always glad she put him in early because it got caught while he was younger so that he could get treated right away. He went to a special program at another elementary school for a few years and then got reintegrated into regular school after that. John and I both had completely normal and happy school experiences (my brother was even senior class president) and both of us would tell you we are glad we started school sooner rather than later. I agree that some kids probably aren't ready for school early due to maturity issues and those are probably the kids that the teachers on these boards are always talking about. But I think there are just as many kids that would be bored if they waited too long because the material of kindergarten would be below the level of the learning they have had at home and from the almost 4 years of preschool if (like my kids) they started when they were 2. Parents should know their kids best and should have the discretion to make these decisions.

The Decline of the Blade Server
Good Post by Howard Marks (thank you)
For the past 10 years or so, blade servers have been the fastest-growing portion of the server market. However, as cloud service providers—and the corporate data centers that, every year, look more like the data centers of cloud providers—operate, it seems to me that the blade server's best days may be behind them. 59 more words

The reception looks great, but nothing more. The hotel is old. We spent one night there in the windowless room and moved for the next night to DK Value inn, for smaller price it was newer and it had a window.
Stayed one night only (luckily) for an early morning flight.
First impression when arriving at hotel is satisfactory. The lobby is clean and modern. Stayed at a standard queen bed room at 1st floor. Very basic amenities for the room, there is a bed, tv, desk, a simple cabinet etc. But do not expect hotel standard amenities such as hair...
Stayed for 2 nights. The sound isolation is really poor. They didnt even clean the room on the second night. For the rate i.paid, there are plenty of hotels to choose from. The room conditions is a bit run down. Small and narrow room.
i have to check in this inn during my bussiness trip week at bintulu. i checked in this inn because all other guesthouse/inn around park city were full house.
this inn is not really clean in housekeeping but stay for a night shall be ok. it is totally not suitable for those bussiness trip.
this hotel i will not stay again. There last minute cancel your reservation. I had made reservation once week before. When I reach bintulu there call us our hotel is full house. And there tell us will contact us once have room..but until evening time still no respond from them. So at last I need to find other hotel in...
Cold welcome by receptionist cause busy listening to walkman and ignorant of walk in customer, weak english, no smoking in all room, good for non smoker but can do without it for a night stay, pillow tooooo soft, paying 40% extra from advertise rate.

I stayed here with my staff during our business trip to Bintulu. This inn is basically a corner-lot shophouse unit. It is about a 10min walk to Park City Mall. Location is good although it is not in the town centre. There are many shops, restaurants & coffee shops within the inn's vicinity. The interior & exterior of the inn...
I stayed in a queen bed at cost only RM68. Eventhough the wifi router was just outside, connection problem all the time.
I came to my room by 3pm, the room was not cleaned.
Location: near KTV and food cafes are plenty
Amenities: hot shower, limited TV channels, free water dispenser at each floor, wifi (problematic, slow connection).
This place was good and fulfilled our needs for the two day trip. Having only 17 rooms, they were sold out pretty quickly. We were left with a double queen bed room which only costed us RM98 with a RM30 deposit. The single queen bed room was retailing at only RM68!
The room had two queen size bed, a rain...
