MASTER THE ART OF WAR TO BECOME THE UNDISPUTED RULER OF MEDIEVAL JAPAN! In 2000, the Creative Assembly re-invented the strategy genre with Shogun: Total War, an unprecedented blend of 3D real-time battles and turn-based management game and the first offering in the multi-award winning series. With over 7 million units sold and universal acclaim from the press and community, Total War has consistently been at the cutting edge of the genre and is today one of the most successful PC franchises of all time.
In 2011, the makers of Rome and Empire: Total War will release the sequel to the game that started it all. Shogun 2: Total War will take long-time veterans and newcomers alike to the next level of strategy gaming on PC. Based on 10 years of experience in making Total War, Shogun 2 is the perfection of the series with a new Artificial Intelligence (AI), revolutionary multiplayer modes, brand new campaign map options and epic 3D real-time battles.
It is the middle of the 16th century in Medieval Japan. The country, once ruled by a unified government, is now split into many warring clans. The player takes on the role of one Daimyo – the clan leader – and will use military engagements, economics and diplomacy to achieve the ultimate goal: re-unite Japan under his supreme command and become the new Shogun – the undisputed ruler of Japan. Set during the golden age of Samurai warfare, Shogun 2 brings to life the most turbulent period of Japanese history.

very different from old versions
This review is from: Total War: Shogun 2 PC Game
Pros: Country map is kinda cool. Multitude of new units, character development trees are interesting. opening scene is very very cool
Cons: battle map play is a real mess. Nowhere near the level of previous Shogun versions. Fighting, movement, all just a kind of mob thing. Individual units impossible to really watch or use in anything more than a very general way. I think they just tried too hard on this one, the detail with trade, city and resource development just gets to taking an unbelievable amount of time. Eventually unrest and rebellions dominates all other concerns regardless. I really wanted to love this game. It is just sadly awful. Steam. nuff said
Other Thoughts: Sometimes complexity is great in a game, not here. Too long to play even a few turns. The game especially suffers on the battlefield play which is just not up to previous versions. On the other hand, ninja are far more interesting and I really liked the expansion of unit types. The old versions updated with development like this, some of the unit types and keeping the old battlefield play would have been much better

personal preference
This review is from: Total War: Shogun 2 PC Game
Pros: The graphics are swell. The AI seems to have made a huge leap from some previous total war games. This would probably be a great game if you have Japanese lineage.
Cons: I just didn't enjoy this game, and believe me, I'm all about the total war series. I just couldn't get into the time period. I don't care really care to be Shogun of Japan. I'd rather have a large map with more than one nation. Maybe the main reason I didn't enjoy it was the fact that I had never heard of ANY of the factions in the game, so it just didn't mean much to me.
Other Thoughts: It's not a bad game just not my thing.

Pros: Great gameplay best tw game to date.
Cons: Non just needs patches
Other Thoughts: I started to rofl'ing on some of these reviews, especially the "mob clicking" one xD. Hilarious learn to play the game first instead of spamming probaly some archers or w.e you have and sending them to their doom.

This review is from: Total War: Shogun 2 PC Game

Plays great with an HD6870
This review is from: Total War: Shogun 2 PC Game
Pros: DX11 graphics look really good with all settings maxed out on a Sapphire HD6870.
Cons: HUGE DOWNLOAD FOR STEAM! Took overnight to get on a 10 meg connection.
Other Thoughts: I've only played 1 tutorial so far, but the graphics are great and the game play is smooth if your system is up to the task.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you?
This review is from: Total War: Shogun 2 PC Game
Pros: Characters look decent when zoomed in, cant play in that mode though
Cons: How this game got good ratings is ?? The whole game is terrible, get large groups of mobs controlled by a line drawn box.
Other Thoughts: Horrible game, box click with terrible movement to enemy with no real ability to control if your units die or not. Moving your box around a bit may help, but as your group of mobs in a box attacks another theirs nothing to do once that happens. Very boring, and the supposed strategy = zero. Click group of mobs then wait to see if you win. Catapults are even worse, click to shoot, and they dint even come close to hitting where you aimed. Theirs no aim control for them either. Click enemy group and it self fires at them, but always misses by a mile so its useless 100%.

Highest Appreciating Nicholasville Neighborhoods Since 1990
With a population of 29,097, 10,492 total housing units (homes and apartments), and a median house value of $140,928, Nicholasville real estate and house prices are near the national average for all cities and towns.
Single-family detached homes are the single most common housing type in Nicholasville, accounting for 68.89% of the city's housing units. Other types of housing that are prevalent in Nicholasville include duplexes, homes converted to apartments or other small apartment buildings (12.35%), row houses and other attached homes (9.93%), and a few large apartment complexes or high rise apartments (7.70%).
The most prevalent building size and type in Nicholasville are three and four bedroom dwellings, chiefly found in single-family detached homes. The city has a mixture of owners and renters, with 56.44% owning and 43.56% renting.
There is a lot of housing in Nicholasville built from 1970 to 1999 so parts of town may have that "Brady Bunch" look of homes popular in the '70s and early '80s, although some of these houses were built up through the early '90s as well. There is also a lot of housing in Nicholasville built between 2000 and later (29.66%). A lesser amount of the housing stock also hails from between 1940-1969 (12.11%). There's also some housing in Nicholasville built before 1939 (3.91%).
Appreciation rates for homes in Nicholasville have been tracking above average for the last ten years, according to NeighborhoodScout data. The cumulative appreciation rate over the ten years has been 11.51%, which ranks in the top 50% nationwide. This equates to an annual average Nicholasville house appreciation rate of 1.10%.
Over the last year, Nicholasville appreciation rates have trailed the rest of the nation. In the last twelve months, Nicholasville's appreciation rate has been 2.80%, which is lower than appreciation rates in most communities in America. In the latest quarter, NeighborhoodScout's data show that house appreciation rates in Nicholasville were at 0.64%, which equates to an annual appreciation rate of 2.58%.
Relative to Kentucky, our data show that Nicholasville's latest annual appreciation rate is lower than 70% of the other cities and towns in Kentucky.
One very important thing to keep in mind is that these are average appreciation rates for the city. Individual neighborhoods within Nicholasville differ in their investment potential, sometimes by a great deal. Fortunately, you can use NeighborhoodScout to pinpoint the exact neighborhoods in Nicholasville - or in any city or town - that have the best track record of real estate appreciation, by the latest quarter, the last year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, or even since 1990, to assist you in making the best Nicholasville real estate investment or home purchase decisions.

Halloween Should Be A Fun, Not Dangerous Night For Children
Halloween than on any other day WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Halloween might be scary for different reasons than you think. On average, twice as many kids are killed while walking on Halloween than on any other day of the year. With a few tips and tricks, kids can stay safe while out walking. Safe Kids Worldwide and FedEx Express® urge parents to prepare their children to walk safely, and remind drivers to be particularly alert this Halloween.(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131029/DC06425-INFO) "On Halloween, more children are on the street after dark than normal, and they are so excited that they may run out into the street without thinking," said Kate Carr, President and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide. "Drivers need to take extra care and slow down on neighborhood roads. And, of course, it's very important that drivers put down mobile devices to avoid distraction." Safe Kids and FedEx are teaming up to keep kids safe on Halloween. Across the country, 156 Safe Kids Coalitions, with support from FedEx volunteers, will provide reflective materials and safety information to children and parents. Children are encouraged to wear the reflective material on Halloween night to increase their visibility to drivers. "Parents need to talk to their children about watching out for cars while trick-or-treating," says Carr. "And make sure that their costume has something reflective on it so cars can see them. You could even have kids put on a glow stick necklace or a reflective slap bracelet." Safe Kids and FedEx recommend these top tips to keep kids safe on Halloween.

Why We Love Funny Guys
I don't like good-looking guys. They make me nervous. They make me mad, because I think that because they are so handsome, they must automatically think that I am fat. I know that is crazy, but I don't care. I never give handsome guys a chance, because I just think the world is good enough to them without me lending a hand. But a funny guy gets his way with me every time. I can't help it. I think I love funny guys because they try harder. For whatever reason, they couldn't get by on their looks. They weren't able to ride the good-gene gravy train like all those boring handsome guys. They had to learn how to charm others in order to get ahead. They had to work on their personality a little. Being able to make others laugh is considered a gift, but it is not one given to you by your parents on your birthday. You actually have to work at it, and pretty hard I think. Humor is often born out of pain and suffering, so usually, funny guys are the product of broken homes and out-of-control adolescent acne. Funny guys are usually survivors. They know what it is like to not get the girl, to strike out, to get picked last, and they pass the savings on to you. Funny guys have a knack for understanding others, because if they are really funny, they have probably had to deal with a lot, and part of being funny is knowing where everyone else is coming from. I would rather have a funny guy over a handsome guy any day, and all funny guys are smart, which is not always true with handsome guys. I would prefer lying in bed all day with Eugene Levy to a night out clubbing with Orlando Bloom. I don't even know what clubbing is. It sounds painful, like it might involve baby seals and therefore is something I absolutely would not want to do. Funny guys are better than any other kind of guy in the world, and if you don't think so you don't know any.

Fresh Memory flash card software
When memorizing facts, learning, storing, and processing internalizes the subject matter. The Fresh Memory program offers various methods to help you anchor the facts in your memory.
In some situations, it's what you know that counts. Although "learning how to learn" has merit, knowing the right way to search for chemical elements on Google is of little use if you don't have local Internet access. The solution? Learning something by heart.
Modern educators might not prefer this method, but students rely on it nonetheless. To learn something by heart, you either need to read the facts repeatedly (drill and practice) or use a card file to help you memorize (spaced repetition). Fresh Memory offers both variants with the aid of virtual flash cards.

Artist: JJ Grey, featuring Derek Trucks
MP3: "Lullaby," from Grey's forthcoming Georgia Warhorse
Release Date: Tuesday, August 24
Rating (skip, stream, buy): Stream
"Lullaby," the closing track from Georgia Warhorse, the new album from neu-funk/lite soul's JJ Grey, is the kind of intentionally blurry canvas that is ripe for a few Derek Trucks strokes. The ethereal slide guitarist's haunting, distant wails add a dark layer to what is already an unsettling hymn. Trucks can't help but steal the show, not by over-playing, just by plugging in his guitar and singing through his strings in a manner in which he is peerless. But his services here, while satisfying for devout Trucks listeners, are rote.
Trucks has spent his career on the jam-loving roots rock circuit, from his steady gig with the Allman Brothers Band and collaborations with his wife, Susan Tedeschi (where the two absolutely bring out the best in each other), Gov't Mule, and Widespread Panic, to his own Grammy-winning ensemble, the Derek Trucks Band. That's a lot of granola. Are the stages at Bonnaroo really that far apart?
With the continued success of roots-centric, jam-sympathetic, psych-loving rock acts on the indie side of the scale--like Black Angels and Black Mountain, just to name a pair -- it's somewhat amazing that Trucks hasn't been enlisted to bring the best of his camp into the best of theirs.
At 31, Trucks--who's as enamored with jazz as he is Eastern sounds--has plenty of time to be poached by a member of another clique for a weekend or two. They'll all be the better for it.

Danish Competition Authority Recommends ODF and OOXML
The Danish Competition Authority has conducted a market analysis of office software so as to give governmental agencies recommendations for public purchases. The results are a definite "live and let live" between the competing standards ODF and OOXML.
Commissioned by the Danish government, the authority studied the office software market -- word processing, spreadsheets and presentation software in particular -- during March 2009. The goal was to provide governmental agencies some referral as to which of the current documentation standards should get purchasing priority, the free Open Document Format (ODF) or Microsoft-based Office Open XML (OOXML). The authority decided that it could not currently make a recommendation either way, but rather purchasing should consider either one or the other format, but be aware that the software should accept both text formats.
The deputy director general of the authority, Agnete Gersing, based this recommendation on the finding that, "At present, it will not improve competition to choose only one of the standards." Gersing continued, "Choosing OOXML will currently exclude all other suppliers but Microsoft, while, by choosing ODF, competition will unfold between the very same office suites as in a situation where both standards are chosen." Gersing opines that while the standards are relatively new, it's unpredictable which way the market will turn: "If only one of the standards is chosen and this standard does not turn out to become a market standard, there is a risk of substantial investment mistakes." Going with just ODF, Gersing reasons, "will not ensure the necessary interoperability between the office suites." Another recent study by the Fraunhofer Institute, with some help from Microsoft, had come to a similar conclusion.
Not surprising is the study's recognition that Microsoft Office runs on about 90% of Danish computers, as the official presentation of the authority revealed. The authority also discovered that most hardware vendors pre-installed their systems with Microsoft packages. The authors of the study added that MS Office 2007 SP2 was not rated yet. Microsoft had vowed to improve its compatibility with ODF with just this release, results of which unfortunately turned out to be debatable.
The Danish Competition Authority published its results of the office software market survey in a 157-page PDF document, available free on their website (in Danish).
ISO 29500 or ECMA 376?I certainly hope they say only ISO 29500 OOXML is acceptable.

New Delhi, July 16 (IANS) Polo matches are often associated with the royals or the elite. So if you are planning on attending one, let your outfit scream elegance.
Follow stylist Nisha Kundnani, who has styled actresses like Anushka Sharma and Nandita Das, to look like an elegant spectator.
- Let go of the old-age habit of matching everything from head to toe or even attempting to contrast the look. For instance, avoid coloured footwear to give a dash of colour. Carry a monotone look with confidence.
- Dresses and skirts are appropriate for sure, but if you wish to keep it traditional and elegant, don a chiffon sari with pearls or vintage jewellery. Remember, Rekha and Karisma Kapoor carrying the same look with elan in "Zubeidaa"!
- Small kitten heels and wedges are any day better than stilettos or any kind of high heels, which dig into the soil and ruin the look and makes you uncomfortable.
- Don't try to dress up like cowgirls. If a woman tries to emulate how the players at the race dress, then it's simply cross-dressing.
- Hat is one of the important accessories that is apt for the occasion. You can wear those quirky head pieces by Little Shilpa label.
- If you decide to do away with the hats, do your hair in a vintage style.

I'm after a 'do-it-all' flat bar fitness bike for my wife... mostly for rough country lanes and gravel paths.
Her mountain bike is a nice one, but I've convinced her it's too heavy and inefficient on road and tracks - and that she'll have more fun with a 700c wheeled hybrid.
At first glance I can't see much past a Cannondale Quick CX, but I'd appreciate any other suggestions - possibly a flat-bar road/cyclocross bike, as long as it has room for bigger tyres for the paths.
Budget up to £650.00 / $1000.00.

Wind Creek Wetumpka Casino opensPublished 8:35am Tuesday, December 17, 2013
It was supposed to be the first hotel and casino built by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, but the plan changed.
So when the plans were put in place to build Wind Creek Wetumpka, tribal chairman Buford Rolin was thinking bigger.
"Since Atmore was first, we wanted Wetumpka to be the biggest," Rolin said following the ribbon cutting and grand opening of the $246 million casino Tuesday.
The 85,000-square-foot casino floor along with 2,520 games were open to the public for the first time at noon Tuesday.
Jane West of Hoover drove down Tuesday morning in hopes of playing in the former gaming facility across the street, but found it closed.
"So I just got in line here around 8:15 a.m.," she said. "I've just been spending my time chatting it up with the other people in line with me."
Joe Clark of Birmingham said he was glad to see Wind Creek Wetumpka open.
"It's much closer than Atmore," he said. "And with it being closer, it cuts the travel time and saves me money."
While the casino and the five restaurants are now open for business, the 20-story hotel is still under construction.
Rolin confirmed it will be early February, at best, before the hotel opens.
The hotel will be open 365 days a year and feature 283 rooms, including a 5,000-square-foot penthouse.
Rolin has already previewed some of the rooms within the hotel and offered some inside advice to potential customers.
"The view of the river from the fourth and fifth floor is the best I've seen," he said.
Atmore Mayor Jim Staff said Wetumpka will continue to benefit with the state's largest casino in its backyard.
"First, they bring a lot of jobs to the community and secondly, they are great neighbors within the community. They are always willing to pitch in to help their community," Staff said.
Wind Creek Wetumpka general manager Cody Williamson was unsure the total number of customers served Tuesday.
"I'm not sure how many, but it looked like there was a good crowd for our opening day," he said. "I'm not too worried about the amount of people as I am ensuring they have had a good time."
The only visible hiccup within the casino was the 16,000 gallon shark tank was not ready for viewing.
The tank will be available for viewing in mid-February, Williamson said.

Burj Dubai: New Seven Wonders of the World?
March 27, 2008
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
The Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world, has just been selected by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the "new seven wonders of the architecture world" in the April issue. Designed by Chicago-based architect Adrian Smith, the towering skyscraper will be 2,111 feet high and 160-plus stories when it opens next year (that's 1.5 times the size of the Sears Tower):
Its completion will mark the first time the Middle East has been able to claim tallest-building rights since the early fourteenth century, when England's Lincoln Cathedral surpassed Egypt's Great Pyramid-- a point of pride for local backers.
And here's another record-breaker: the elevators will catapult visitors to the top at a speed of 40 miles per hour.

The hotel brand known for its chic, contemporary style has opened a sexy new property in the ancient city of gilded domes, minarets, and dynamic modern towers.

Talk about Turkish Delight.
The Perfect Combination - Astrology and Park Hotel Weggis
March 26, 2008
By: Editorial AdvisoryBoard
If you faithfully read your horoscope each day and know the signs of all your friends, then you'll want to visit the Park Hotel Weggis for their Park & Stars Package. It includes welcome champagne, accommodation including buffet breakfast, an individual astrological reading on the day of your arrival or a couple analysis, an astrological five course dinner (created around your astrological sign!), as well as a keepsake to take home with you. The astrological consultations are given by Doris Vollenweider, a counselor for astrological psychology. All readings are given in German so unfortunately you are out of luck if you don't speak that language. When you reserve, you will need to give the hotel your exact date, time, and location of birth for your astrological reading. Packages are also available without the overnight accommodation for those who would just like to spend an astro filled day at the Park Hotel Weggis.

And get this: anybody who registers and submits at least one photo will be automatically entered into a prize draw for a five-night stay at any of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World properties.

* A three night Big Apple Experience in New York City at The Iroquois New York
Taking the Hassle out of Choosing a Dubai Luxury Hotel
February 6, 2008
By: Editorial AdvisoryBoard
Many of our clients seem to get overwhelmed when researching hotels in Dubai. With so many luxury hotel choices, in a city that is relatively new on destination hotspot radar, visitors are often unsure where to start. Hotels in Dubai can basically be broken down into three categories: beach, city and desert. People traveling to Dubai for leisure will most likely want to stay at one of the beach properties such as Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and the Madinat Jumeirah properties (pictured) - Al Qasr, Dar al Masyaf, Mina A' Salam. Other beach properties include Ritz Carlton Dubai, One and Only Royal Mirage, and the Jebel Ali Golf Resort and Spa.
When visiting Dubai for business, most people choose one of the hotels in the heart of the city because either they are attending a conference at a hotel downtown, or they need to be near the World Trade Center or the Dubai Convention Center. Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Raffles Dubai (pictured), Al Bustan Rotana Hotel, Shangri-La Dubai, Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates, Fairmont Dubai, Taj Palace Hotel or Traders Hotel Dubai are all close to the airport and located in the business district. If you tire of sitting in meeting rooms, many of these hotels provide shuttles to the beach, or you can spend your free time in their world-class spas, restaurants, pools, or shopping malls.
One thing to consider: If you need to be in the city center but would like to be near the water, choose a hotel on Dubai Creek. The creek comes in from the Persian Gulf and splits the city almost equally in two. Hotels such as Radisson SAS, Dubai Deira Creek, and InterContinental Dubai Festival City line the creek. Or choose the Grosvenor House Dubai which is situated on the Dubai Marina and overlooks the Persian Gulf. While it does not have a beach itself, guests are welcome to use the beach at the adjacent sister property, Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort and Spa.
Visitors are so excited to experience the glamor of Dubai's beaches and city center that they sometimes overlook the beautiful desert resorts that are just outside the city. These resorts provide a peaceful alternative to the hustle and bustle of Dubai, and give visitors a chance to take in the unique desert landscape. Two excellent choices are the Jumeirah Bab Al Shams Desert Resort and Spa and the Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa. If your trip itinerary allows, we recommend planning a weekend in the desert at the end of your trip.
Qasr Al Sharq, Jeddah: Sumptuous Saudi Arabia
February 5, 2008
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Business in Jeddah? The place to stay is the Qasr Al Sharq, the opulent "Palace of the Orient" managed by the new Waldorf-Astoria Collection. Designed by the folks behind Dubai's seven-star Burj Al Arab, the all-suite hotel epitomizes extravagance. Pure gold, handpicked crystal and porcelain, exquisite mosaics, cultured marble, the finest art... Luxury is in the details. As befits a palace this grand, some of the suites are more than 10,000 square feet in size, and come with massage tables and private gyms. Service is exceptional, as the personal butlers are members of the International Guild of Professional Butlers. Facilities include a traditional Hammam, magnificent pool with a fully retractable glass roof, and ladies-only spa with Jeddah's only Aquamedic pool that pumps underwater jet streams specifically designed to massage the body. For business meetings, there are seven boardrooms themed to reflect the world's economic powerhouses (think: British Windsor Room, Japanese Kyoto room). Plus, all the suites are equipped with laptops that wirelessly connect to the Internet anywhere in the building.

Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi: The World's Costliest Hotel
January 17, 2008
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Guess where President Bush stayed last weekend on his Middle East trip? The oil-rich outpost of the United Arab Emirates boasts the most extravagant luxury hotels in the world, like the seven-star Burj Al Arab where aquarium walls full of tropical fish line the escalators, and the world's largest fleet of Rolls-Royces is available for guests.
President Bush, arriving in Abu Dhabi over the weekend, stayed in one of the basketball-court-size "Ruler's Suites" at the Emirates Palace, which bills itself as the world's costliest hotel. At $3 billion, with 300 rooms, that comes out to $10 million a room.
In this spare-no-expenses kingdom, the opulent Emirates Palace stands out because of its brand new Anantara Spa. You'll find an enormous private treatment complex, Vichy shower suite, hammam with heated marble beds, and intricate architectural details: Moorish tile floors beneath a glowing domed ceiling. Return to your room, sauntering down the hallways shimmering with gold mosaics, and enjoy private butler service and Hermes bath amenities.
P.S. We hear the hotel's best suite is the 1,185-square-foot Khaleej Suite, overlooking the Persian Gulf.

An Interview with the General Manager: Heinrich Morio of the Jumeirah Beach Hotel
January 3, 2008
By: Editorial AdvisoryBoard
Heinrich Morio, born in the United States to German parents in 1960, joined Jumeirah in the position of General Manager Operations in October 2004. He brings over 25 years of operational experience all of which was spent in some of the finest luxury hotels including Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten in Hamburg, Plaza Athenee in New York, Turnberry Isle in Florida, One&Only Le Saint Geran, Mauritius, Ritz Carlton in New York and The Peninsula in Beverly Hills.
Prior to joining Jumeirah, Heinrich held the position of General Manager of One&Only Le Touessrok, Mauritius where he successfully directed the closure, re-opening and re-positioning of the hotel, as well as General Manager of the One&Only Ocean Club, Bahamas and Little Palm Island, Florida Keys. Heinrich holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Hospitality Management from Florida International University, Miami.
Five Star Alliance: How did you come to be General Manager of the hotel?
Mr. Heinrich Morio: I started working in the hotel industry approximately 30 years ago, over the years I have worked in many different functions including restaurants, kitchen and reception. I have worked my way up in the industry and I have now realized my dream of managing a luxury hotel.
Five Star Alliance: Tell us what you feel is the most distinctive or unique feature of the Jumeirah Beach Hotel? What best describes the personality of the hotel?
Mr. Heinrich Morio: The architecture of the hotel in itself is very distinctive and unique. It is designed to reflect the shape of a breaking wave which has become an instantly recognizable symbol of Dubai.
In addition, we are unique in the fact that all of the 617 rooms, suites and villas at Jumeirah Beach Hotel have stunning ocean views across the beautiful Arabian Gulf, this feature is a favorite amongst all of our regular and first time guests.
Five Star Alliance: Can you share the names of any famous guests who have stayed in the hotel, or perhaps regulars that return on a periodic basis?
Mr. Heinrich Morio: All of our guests are important to us and we have many guests who return to us on a regular basis. We provide all of our guests with the level of service that they would expect to find in a five star luxury hotel and we also respect the privacy of all guests.
Five Star Alliance: Which do you consider to be the best rooms in the house? Not just the suites, but also any particular standard rooms that have great views or unusual advantages? If you were checking into a standard room at the hotel, which one would you request?
Mr. Heinrich Morio: All of our rooms are extremely spacious and provide a minimum of approximately 50m2 of living space. Full advantage has been made of the fact that all of our rooms are ocean facing and each room has floor to ceiling windows which mean that guests have maximum enjoyment of the spectacular panoramic views.
For the ultimate in luxury the villas at Beit Al Bahar (Arabic for 'House by the Sea') are perfect for guests searching for a truly personal, uniquely special holiday hideaway. Each villa benefits from a private plunge pool and an unparalleled level of service which means that Beit Al Bahar is known as one of the regions most luxurious private retreats.
Five Star Alliance: Can you mention any interesting miscellaneous trivia regarding the hotel? Perhaps a bit of history? Any special events that have taken place on property?
Mr. Heinrich Morio: Our impressive conference centre is Dhow shaped and has hosted some of Dubai's most spectacular and significant events. The conference centre has a ballroom space of 1332m2, a tiered auditorium that seats 416, two floors of dedicated conference facilities and custom-built executive boardrooms.
Another interesting feature of the hotel is the large sculpture in the atrium that shows the original destinations that Emirates flew to when the hotel first opened ten years ago. If we tried to update this sculpture to reflect the current destinations that Emirates fly to today, this would be extremely difficult due to the vast number of routes now in operation.
In addition there is also our iconic beach front location which is simply stunning, the hotel boasts over 3800m2 of beautiful outdoor beach and garden areas.
Five Star Alliance: If you were considering staying at Jumeirah Beach Hotel as a guest, what would you want to know about the hotel before checking in?
Mr. Heinrich Morio: Jumeirah Beach Hotel provides guests with the ultimate in luxurious family resort style accommodation, in addition to our stunning beaches and rooms we also have a world class conference facility, Pavilion Sports centre, dive facility, private marina and over 20 restaurants and bars. The extensive choice of dining options at the hotel and range of international cuisine of offer is sure to satisfy any guest.
Our guests are also provided with the opportunity to upgrade for the duration of their stay to become a Club Executive or Premium Leisure Club guest. These options provide access to additional facilities such as the tranquil Executive Pool and the Club Executive Lounge.
In addition to the above, high on my priorities would be knowing what the weather forecast is for the duration of my stay!
Five Star Alliance: What is the best thing about the hotel's location? What is your favorite thing to do in the surrounding area?
Mr. Heinrich Morio: The hotel is ideally located on Jumeirah Beach and our popular beach front restaurants all have stunning views of the spectacular Burj Al Arab. We are very centrally located and all of Dubai's attractions, including the amazing shopping malls and world class golf courses are only a short taxi ride away. We are also only 20-30 minutes drive from the airport.
Wild Wadi Water Park is an integral part of the resort and is located right next door to the hotel, all Jumeirah Beach Hotel guests receive unlimited access to the water park for the duration of their stay.
My favorite way to spend time in the surrounding area is to take a visit to Bab Al Shams for a unique desert experience. Jumeirah Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa is an elegant desert resort in a traditional Arabic fort setting and is perfect for a relaxing retreat away from the city.
Five Star Alliance: Who are your customers and where do they come from?
Mr. Heinrich Morio: Over the past ten years we have welcomed guests from all over the world, many of our guests come from Europe and we have lots of visitors from the UK, Germany and Russia. Our excellent family facilities mean that we have lots of families who visit the hotel, many returning on a regular basis. In addition our superb conference facilities are used by a wide range of guests attending private and corporate events of all sizes.
Five Star Alliance: What is the hardest part about being General Manager? If you could change one thing about the hotel, what would that be?
Mr. Heinrich Morio: Over the last ten years Jumeirah Beach Hotel has undergone continuous growth and development, we deliver an excellent level of service which is largely due to our fantastic colleagues. If it were not for our exceptional colleagues then my job would be much harder!
Five Star Alliance: Other than your own, can you share your choices of two or three of what you consider to be the greatest hotels in the world? And why you think they are special?
Mr. Heinrich Morio: For me Jumeirah Emirates Tower is the finest business hotel in the world. It is very popular with frequent business travelers and is ideally located in the heart of Dubai's commercial district.
The Madinat Jumeirah is one of the most impressive and fascinating resorts that I have ever visited. Known as The Arabian Resort of Dubai the hotel is a magnificent tribute to Dubai's heritage and is styled to resemble an ancient Arabian citadel. The hotel offers the height of opulence and with two grand hotels, superb facilities and a traditional souk the Madinat Jumeirah really is unique.

Don't reward the creators for an unfinished story!
This COULD have been an excellent series to own, but alas the powers that be at HBO, and the creators, lost interest without bothering to resolve the story line. Seasons one and two build toward the climactic conclusion that was never filmed. Unless you like being left hanging that way, don't reward their disregard for loyal followers.

Indian army officials say Pakistani forces attacked their side of the so-called Line of Control in the disputed Kashmir region.
12:26, UK, Wednesday 09 January 2013
One of the two Indian soldiers killed in a clash along the disputed Kashmir border was beheaded by Pakistani troops who then carried away his head, India's chief military spokesman has claimed.
"We can confirm that one of the Indian soldiers was beheaded by the Pakistani army in Kashmir," J Dahiya said.
"They have taken away the head."
Indian military chiefs said one of their army patrols was attacked byPakistani troops who crossed the so-called Line of Control dividing the region and violated a ceasefire.
Their deaths followed another disputed incident on Sunday, when Pakistan said Indian army troops attacked one of their bases and killed a soldier.
Each sides disputes the others description of events in recent days.
However, Dahiya accused the Pakistanis of being "in a state of denial".
"We are absolutely convinced Pakistan army regulars were involved because it was a surgical strike with high-calibre weapons," he said
The countries have fought two full-scale wars over Kashmir, which is claimed by both of them and is divided between them.
A 2003 ceasefire ended the most recent round of fighting, though each side occasionally accuses the other of violating it by using mortars or shooting across the border dividing the Indian and Pakistani sides of Kashmir.
It had been hoped that the relationship between the two countries was improving after new visa rules were announced in December, designed to make cross-border travel easier.
They have also been taking steps to improve cross-border trade.

Six games in eight days, all on the road.
That's the gauntlet the Washington County Commanders (2-7, 1-2) have run in the past week, and while the Commanders only went 1-5 in that time, WC head coach Bernard Smalley said he saw several positives in his team's play during the grueling stretch.
Garrard County Holiday Classic
Only nine games into the season under first-year head coach Lena Bramblett, the Washington County Commanderettes (2-7, 0-3) have already matched their win total from last year.
WC completed this mark during its most recent run of games before Christmas, where the Commanderettes played five games in just seven days, going 1-4 during the challenging stretch.
Food Pantry Holiday Classic
What jumped out to Washington County head coach Lena Bramblett as she prepared for the Thomas Nelson Generals (5-2, 1-0) and their high-scoring offense was how they used their distinct size advantage to score in the post.
So going into Friday's game against the Generals, she instructed her players to "dare them to shoot it from the outside."
"Heat check!" a voice rang throughout the gym.
Washington County junior DT Yocum had already scored seven points in the first three minutes and 30 seconds, so when he pulled up for his second 3-point attempt of the night, one enthusiastic fan couldn't help but vocalize what the rest of the Commander supporters were thinking.
Washington County junior DT Yocum had already scored seven points in the first three minutes and 30 seconds, so when he pulled up for his second 3-point attempt of the night, one enthusiastic fan couldn't help but vocalize what the rest of the Commander supporters were thinking.
Though December has been unseasonably warm, it still never hurts to be prepared for the winter months.
According to Washington County Road Department Supervisor Dale Mann, the county has been getting its trucks prepared for snow removal and salting.
"We've got eight trucks and they're all equipped with salters and plows," Mann said.
The construction of a recently proposed batting facility at Idle Hour Park was approved last week by the Springfield City Council, but there are still a few details left to finalize before the project is completed.
Andy Matherly, owner of AM Electrical Services in Springfield and contractor for the proposed facility, was present at the council's meeting to share an estimated cost for the project, which he expected to be approximately $150,000.
It was Michael Wheatley's junior season as a Washington County Commander.
His team was taking on its biggest rivals in the Marion County Knights during his first year playing high school football, and the Commanders had lost the last two games in the historically close rivalry.
After the game ended on a controversial game-winning, fourth-and-goal touchdown by Marion County in overtime, Wheatley and his teammates couldn't forget the agonizing feeling of that defeat.
Growing up, Brandon Smith always preferred basketball over football. He played "a little bit" in pee-wee football and two years in middle school, but other than that, Smith always chose to play basketball if he could.
"I liked it growing up because basketball's more free," Smith said. "You're more loose, and there's a lot going on. It's just what I liked playing as a kid."
Before the season, head coach Bernard Smalley said that the Washington County Commanders boys' basketball team was going to run and gun. And so far, his team has not disappointed.
Although the Commanders have fallen short in their first two games — a 72-65 loss to the Model Patriots (1-3) and a 71-68 loss to the Beth Haven Bears (3-0) — they have reached at least 65 points in both games, something last year's WC squad was only able to do twice the entire season.
