Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 254 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TopGun1 Great business stay Staff was excellent in every regard. I will stay here again whenever in the area. Thank you. April 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JJ37JJ Not worth the rate Not a bad stay, but for the rate I expected so much more. Its hard to sleep when the city of Miami allows outdoor bands to go on until 1am. Its really cold in the building rooms are in need of remodeling They do no accommodate special requests very well. The window view wasn't that good. I will look for other alternatives next time I visit. April 8, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DAB7 Needs a renovation Hotel has a retro charm, but the rooms are in need of a renovation. Ours had a musty smell. Never checked out of a Westin hotel without being asked "how was your stay". Unfortunately, this one did. April 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by GuessMarch2014 Enjoyed our stay The staff was great, we felt very welcome from the minute that we arrived. The food was absolutely fantastic!!! However, the room was not properly clean and valet parking was a bit over priced ($26 per night).. I read many reviews and I have to agree that the down fall of this hotel is room cleanliness. Overall, it was a great stay. April 2, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Unhappysleepy01 Noisy Stay I have stayed at the Westin Coral Gables several times and was very disappointed with this stay. There was tons of noise - everything from drilliiing sounds, dogs barking, guests yelling in hallways, staff conversing loudly in the hallway and overall hotel maintenance noise and smells. I never take sleeping pills and this time I had to as I kept waking up every hour or so with different noises. March 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MaeRose830 Did not meet our expectations We wanted to love this hotel. We choose this Westin due to the proximity to Miracle Mile, driving distance to other great areas and venues and the airport. The valet staff was so friendly and willing to accommodate and answer questions. The remainder of the staff needs a workshop on customer care. They were not engaging or friendly at all--quite flat actually. We were locked out of our room on the first night after dinner and instead of apologizing we were told we had our keys near devices that erased the strip on the room key--really, both of them in different pockets while walking down the road? At check out we had charges for water on our bill which were not taken from the room--we did not use cleaning service so who decided we were drinking the water?. Taken off the bill with a frown and no apology. The room had a funky smell like there were pets in the room at one time. We realize that the staff cannot control rude guests and we had the lot of them right next to us constantly slamming the heavy doors well into the wee hours of the morning. The slamming doors, in addition to the noisy elevators, made for a sleepless two nights. We would not return to this Westin. March 31, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Rene3 Disappointed Guest Usually I have had a pleasurable experience with SPG properties. I was very disappointed with this Westin. First I did not realize they allowed pets. It sounded like a german shepherd next door. Secondly, there must have been a party in one of the rooms. Although the front desk stated that an older couple was there. They looked like they were in there 20's. This may be an isolated incident but I do not plan on returning to this location. March 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KAP2882 Great visit, but hard to use Gold Gifts The stay was excellent. The facilities are very nice and the staff was extremely helpful. My only complaint was that I wanted to use my Gold Gift of free drinks. However, SushiSamba wouldn't accept them (they acted like they'd never seen them), and then the front desk said I could use them for room service, but when I called to order, they wouldn't accept them either. I ended up giving 3 nights of drinks back to the front desk when I checked out. Again, small issue, but annoying. March 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Humberto Great hospitality All the staff from deskfront, bellboys, etc are very friendly . March 13, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Moldy Our room was disgustingly full of dirt & black mold We took pictures to sen d of the black mold on the air vents in the room. It stunk & I was concerned about whether the mold would cause some kind of illness in me. I sat out on the deck most of the night because the room was so gross. March 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stephanie First class customer service Your hotel should be the training ground of all Starwood Hotels. I received exceptional, personalized service from the curb at arrival, in checking in, room service, arranging taxis et al. Good work, Westin Colonnade! March 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by AB01 Not exactly a true Westin experience The price is based on location because it sure isn't the facilities driving the cost. Numerous reports of unclean rooms from our group. My AC was on 60 the entire trip and room never cooled. Subtle odor throughout the hotel. Little things like day old news papers in the elevator areas. March 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by NYCTINA Hallways and rooms are ICE COLD with no heat. Even though it was 80 degrees out, the rooms and hallways were approximately 60 degrees. After much experimentation and having the engineer up to my room, it turns out the thermostat is actually just decorative. The hallway carpets are badly stained and have a lot of wrinkles that are easy to trip on. The pool furniture is uncomfortable and they ran out of towels by 10 a.m. The staff, however, are pleasant and helpful. March 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by VMR1 Very noisy; don't stay for leisure or business travel My wife and I stayed here on two separate occasions and both times received the absolute worst nights of sleep we'd ever had in any hotel. Both nights other guests (part of wedding parties) were in the hallway nearly the entire night and very loud. One of the nights, in addition to this, the hotel (in preparation for a day after wedding brunch) began dragging tables and chairs around on the second floor common area roof deck around 6am. When I relayed these complaints to the manager during out first stay, she seemed to understand but I can tell that this is very common in the core of her response. I thought that given my level of brand loyalty, the response should have been more strongly supported. The second night I didn't bother relaying the poor experience with my personal understanding that it's just the nature of this hotel. This is a wedding factory if you'd like to get married in an atrium sandwiched between a 'Morton's' and 'Sushi Samba'. Based on the way the other guests are treated, the hotel makes the vast majority of their money from events, so if you do not need to stay here and actually enjoy sleeping, definitely stay elsewhere. The priorities at this specific property clearly are the events; no other guests matter. March 1, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by sarainny no clothes rack in hotel my room had no useable clothes rack. i could not hang my clothes. also, my shower had nowhere to rest the soap or shampoo -- had to go on the floor. unbelievable February 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ted1984 Perfect Great location, service and cool spot. February 26, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Seetee The room was disgusting After arriving from a 4 hour flight with a long delay at customs, I was looking forward to relaxing when reaching the hotel. The reception said she gave me an upgraded room. But upon arrival to the room which was so far away from teh elevator, the room smelled horrible, the carpet was disgusting and the television had major issues. This room does not fall within the standards of a starwood property as far as i'm concerned. I will not be staying here ever again. Was definitely not worth the money. February 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Patty4499 Love the room - spiral staircase! A perfect weekend get-away! February 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rhodeislander Perfect place to stay before taking a cruise Great location with great dining that is walking distance from hotel. February 23, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by UMMOM Coral Gables Retreat Very comfortable, centrally located friendly staff. February 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by bella60 Old outdated rooms When we checked in a horrible smell was in the hallway & our room. So we called & were moved to a bigger better room.. supposedly! The second room had a foul odor that was just disguised with fabreeze making it worse. We had to call engineering about our TV three times-he actually had to bang on the box..REALLY?? We were VERY dissappointed. At check out we were told they are renovating the rooms....they badly need it! February 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JaySt Great vacation Best accommodations in South Florida! In the heart of the city but feels like a resort. Wedding reception was over the top. February 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by lsvl Hotel needs remodeling Hotel property very "tired" looking. January 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Austicker Hotel is run down Two primary complaints: 1. Hotel is freezing. The staff at the front desk had to wear winter coats. 2. Furniture in rooms is old and faded and does not appear to be clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. January 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Vincent8 Nice location, but needs updating We stayed at this property prior to a cruise. The lobby is lovely, but the rooms leave much to be desired. The upholstery and floor were stained and the walls are too thin. The window shade was stuck in the down position, limiting the ability to use the balcony. We ordered drinks at the pool and the service level left much to be desired. The staff did an adequate job of compensating for these deficiencies. The primary reason I'd recommend this hotel is due to the limited options for this location, January 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Great hotel, great location Loved the stay. Great staff. January 7, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by NJM1000 Noisy Room We were given a room (207) next to the elevator which was so noisy that it kept us awake most of the night. This was the worst nights sleep that I have ever had at a Starwood hotel. I asked staff for another room but was told that the hotel was full and none were available. This was a very disappointing experience to the extent that I feel I have wasted the rewards points that I used to book the hotel. This hotel needs to address the soundproofing of the room or upgrade the machinery of the elevators. I would not recommend this hotel. January 6, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by DisappointedInSPG Room was a closet The room was so small, there was space for only one nightstand. We were tripping over each other. January 6, 2014

Children Prefer to Read Electronically, But Also Read Less Often Says SurveyDevan McGuinness
I have been open in sharing my struggle with getting my children to love reading. When I was a kid, I would read quite often and honestly, it was an activity that I loved to do. My husband's experience with reading was the opposite of mine, preferring not to read over doing something else.
As I try to help my son increase his reading skills, without making it seem like a chore, has been a little bit of a struggle. I wasn't sure, and am still not sure, if it's an inherited quality or if it's something I just need to continue working on, but I do know that I want him to love reading one day. We've tried many different methods to get him to read and right now, his favorite way seems to be electronically with the use of computers, tables and smart phones.
A large survey was conducted by the National Literacy Trust in the U.K which looked at 34,910 young people between the ages of 8 and 16 and it revealed a lot about how kids are reading, how much they're reading, and how much that has changed over the years. They released their findings from their survey today and some of the stats are quite interesting.
Children Prefer to Read Electronically, But Also Read Less Often Says Survey 1 of 7
The results of the survey are interesting and show how much has changed with technology.
Reading Preference 2 of 7
52% of those who took the survey said they preferred to read on screen compared with 32% who preferred print, with the remainder having no opinion either way or preferring not to read at all.
Regular Reading 3 of 7
9% of the young people read every day on computers and screens, compared with 28% who read each day using printed materials. This leads to the conclusion that those children who read in print, are reading because they enjoy it more.
Child's Favorite 4 of 7
Only 12% of those who read using new technology like tablets, e-readers and smartphones said they really enjoyed reading, compared with 51% of those who favored traditional print books.
Print vs Screen 5 of 7
The children in the survey who read daily only on-screen are nearly twice less likely to be above average readers than those who read daily in print or in print and on-screen (15.5% vs 26%).
Over the Years 6 of 7
The number of children between the ages of 8 and 16 who are reading newspapers has fallen from 46.8 per cent in 2005 to 31.2 per cent in 2012.
Girls vs Boys 7 of 7
The survey showed that girls are significantly more likely to read in print than boys. Girls are 68% likely to read in print and boys are only at 54%.

New Of Montreal Song: Like Flight of the Conchords, But On Acid
"Smoke hood! M'lion! Female erection! You fetishize the archetype!"
Of Montreal's new song, charmingly called "Teenage Unicorn Fisting," is ripe with shrill non sequiturs. With its catchy bass-driven acoustic riff, talking breaks, two-part harmonies, and abrupt leaps into almost-parodic falsetto, it sounds like the sort of song Flight of the Conchords might compose if they went suddenly insane. "I want someone to frisk me / I want this night to distort me / I didn't come here just to see you dancing, I came to see you ride my bike / Oh, that's the you I think I really like / Anyways, I'm crippled inside." It is possible that there is deep meaning beneath these impenetrable metaphors, but it reminds me of the nonsense I used to get when trying to translate my Latin homework using Babel Fish.
Kevin Barnes's glib introduction and unforgivably hip ensemble at the band's live performance of the song for Rolling Stone's Smoking Section seemed to say, "We're artists, trust us." But it sure feels like they're putting us on.
Watch and listen here. Feel free to offer your interpretation in the comments section.

3 Stocks Investors Are Selling but Should Be Buying (Update 1)
( SWN ) With natural gas prices stuck at depressed levels, Croft say that this independent, North American explorer and producer of natural gas, as well as crude oil, is one of his favorite contrarian stocks right now. He thinks there's a "good chance" the shares will outperform the broad market over the long term.Croft thinks shares of the Houston-based company are a buy right now, partly on the expectation that U.S. natural gas prices will eventually rise on favorable energy and environmental policies, a rebounding economy and the potential full-fledged export of the commodity to Asia and Europe, where prices right now are much more expensive. When all the stars align, Southwestern, with its conservative management team and knack for keeping operating costs low, should find itself in a very lucrative situation, he thinks. The company has been booking operating costs of about $1.50 per million cubic feet, according to Croft, which is low when compared with the approximately $2.50 at which natural gas is now trading, and among the lowest in Southwestern's peer group. The company continues to expand acreage in the Marcellus and other shale areas and should be able to grow production at 15% a year over the next three to five years, according to Croft. "Right now we don't need a lot more electric or power plants," says Croft. "But when we do, it will be [fueled by] natural gas because nuclear takes seven to ten years to set up. Natural gas plants are quick to put up and coal is dying down," he adds. Shares of Southwestern Energy, which doesn't distribute dividends, got even more cheaper on Tuesday, closing down 5.7% at $33.31 after the company's latest earnings report came in shy of Wall Street's consensus view. After Monday's closing bell, Southwestern reported earnings of $158.5 million, or 45 cents a share, on revenue of $744.2 million, below the average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters for a profit of 47 cents a share on revenue of $763.5 million. Tuesday's move put the stock down 12% in the past year, although it has bounced since scraping a 52-week low of $28.37 on Jan. 20. The sell side is in wait-and-see mode right now with 19 of the 30 analysts covering Southwestern at either hold (16) or underperform (3). "With gas accounting for 99% of 2010 production and 100% of proved reserves, the firm is subject to gas price volatility with no options to shift to oil or liquids-rich production to take advantage of a pricing advantage of oil over natural gas," Morningstar analysts caution, adding that "Southwestern has better-than-average financial flexibility thanks to careful debt management during the last five years during the build up of its Fayetteville Shale operations."

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Sandra Isabel, 45 years old, is a single mother of four children. She is a native of Malpaisillo, which is located in the western part of the country. Sandra is known as being a hardworking, responsible woman, who has had to work since she was very young due to the lack of financial resources. Consequently, she fights every day to provide a better future for her children.
Thanks to her desire to improve and get ahead she has had a business selling basic grains (rice, beans), sugar, cooking oil, cereals, soap, detergent and chlorine bleach for eight years. Her work routine spans some 10 hours a day at a specific place in the community.
The objective of the loan is to invest in working capital and stock her business by purchasing basic gains so that, in the not too distant future, she will be able to earn a better income. Sandra is grateful for the help that Kiva investors provide to people with scarce resources and to poor countries, such as Nicaragua, so that they will have a way to obtain decent work.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
Is there more to life than money?
30 Jan 2012 08:30 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel
MJ Rosenberg has worked on Capitol Hill for various Democratic members of the House and Senate for 15 years. He was also a Clinton political appointee at USAID.
Washington, DC - Talk about deja vu all over again.
In September 2010 The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg wrote, in a much ballyhooed article, that "there is a better than 50 per cent chance that Israel will launch a strike [against Iran] by next July", meaning the summer of 2011.
Recently, the New York Times published a story by Israeli journalist Ronen Bergman, who writes: "I have come to believe that Israel will indeed strike Iran in 2012."
The two articles are very similar. It is almost as if Bergman is merely updating Goldberg, primarily by postponing the supposed date for the attack by a year. That is necessary because Goldberg's prediction did not pan out - just like the repeated predictions that Iran would have a nuclear weapon by a particular date keep being pushed back. (Here is former
The two articles are very similar. It is almost as if Bergman is merely updating Goldberg, primarily by postponing the supposed date for the attack by a year. That is necessary because Goldberg's prediction did not pan out - just like the repeated predictions that Iran would have a nuclear weapon by a particular date keep being pushed back. (Here is former CIA official Bruce Reidel, predicting an Israeli attack on Iran in 2007. Here is former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton, predicting that Israel would bomb Iran in 2008. Here is leading Israeli Iran hawk, General Ephraim Sneh, predicting that Israel would act by the end of 2009. The attack keeps receding farther into the horizon.)
There are many more such predictions, just as there are many more articles such as those by Goldberg and Bergman.
The most striking (even jarring) similarity between the two articles is that both pieces note that an Israeli attack on Iran would fail to prevent development of an Iranian bomb and that the collateral effects of an attack would be utterly horrific. Both cite Israeli intelligence officials who make just those points. (Check out this new J Street video, which quotes Israel's most prominent intelligence experts explaining why attacking Iran would be disastrous.)
Here is Goldberg in 2010 on what the ramifications would be once the Israelis begin to bomb Iran, regardless of whether the attack succeeds or "fail[s] miserably to even make a dent in Iran's nuclear program":
[The Israelis] stand a good chance of changing the Middle East forever; of sparking lethal reprisals, and even a full-blown regional war that could lead to the deaths of thousands of Israelis and Iranians, and possibly Arabs and Americans as well; of creating a crisis for Barack Obama that will dwarf Afghanistan in significance and complexity; of rupturing relations between Jerusalem and Washington, which is Israel's only meaningful ally; of inadvertently solidifying the somewhat tenuous rule of the mullahs in Tehran; of causing the price of oil to spike to cataclysmic highs, launching the world economy into a period of turbulence not experienced since the autumn of 2008, or possibly since the oil shock of 1973; of placing communities across the Jewish diaspora in mortal danger, by making them targets of Iranian-sponsored terror attacks, as they have been in the past, in a limited though already lethal way; and of accelerating Israel's conversion from a once-admired refuge for a persecuted people into a leper among nations.
Here is Bergman this week on ramifications of an attack:
In the end, a successful attack would not eliminate the knowledge possessed by the project's scientists, and it is possible that Iran, with its highly developed technological infrastructure, would be able to rebuild the damaged or wrecked sites. What is more, unlike Syria, which did not respond after the destruction of its reactor in 2007, Iran has openly declared that it would strike back ferociously if attacked. Iran has hundreds of Shahab missiles armed with warheads that can reach Israel, and it could harness Hezbollah to strike at Israeli communities with its 50,000 rockets, some of which can hit Tel Aviv. (Hamas in Gaza, which is also supported by Iran, might also fire a considerable number of rockets on Israeli cities.) According to Israeli intelligence, Iran and Hezbollah have also planted roughly 40 terrorist sleeper cells across the globe, ready to hit Israeli and Jewish targets if Iran deems it necessary to retaliate. And if Israel responded to a Hezbollah bombardment against Lebanese targets, Syria may feel compelled to begin operations against Israel, leading to a full-scale war. On top of all this, Tehran has already threatened to close off the Persian Gulf to shipping, which would generate a devastating ripple through the world economy as a consequence of the rise in the price of oil.
Nonetheless, both authors predict with a certain level of assurance that Israel will attack anyway. In essence, they are saying that the Israeli government of Binyamin Netanyahu is as insane as neoconservatives say the Iranian government is. They are saying that, yes, attacking Iran might lead to the devastation of Israel, even the destruction of the Jewish state, but that the government of Israel might do it anyway.
Why? Because it honestly believes that the Iranian government is so dedicated to a second holocaust that it would risk its own annihilation, not to mention the eradication of the Palestinian people as well as destruction of some of the holiest sites in Islam in its own initial nuclear attack.
"I don't believe it. I don't believe the Iranian government is either insane or suicidal; I don't believe the Israeli government is insane or suicidal."
Sorry. I don't believe it. I don't believe the Iranian government is either insane or suicidal; I don't believe the Israeli government is insane or suicidal.
And I doubt the authors believe that either. It is not Israel's elimination they are worried about; it is the elimination of Israel's nuclear monopoly and its regional hegemony. The Israelis themselves admit as much, with Defence Minister Ehud Barak telling Charlie Rose last year that if he were an Iranian government official, he would probably want a weapon, too - not to destroy Israel, but because "they look around, they see the Indians are nuclear, the Chinese are nuclear, Pakistan is nuclear, not to mention the Russians". And the Israelis, obviously.
Bottom line: The purpose of these articles is not to predict an Israeli attack but to force the United States government into piling on sanction after sanction (with war always an option) rather than pursue a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
It makes no sense. And yet, due to the pressure of the pro-war lobby, it is diplomacy that is barely on the table, while war, always the direst option, is front and centre. That was plain when President Obama delivered his State of the Union address earlier this week.
Referring to Iran, President Obama said this:
Look at Iran. Through the power of our diplomacy, a world that was once divided about how to deal with Iran's nuclear program now stands as one. The regime is more isolated than ever before; its leaders are faced with crippling sanctions, and as long as they shirk their responsibilities, this pressure will not relent. Let there be no doubt: America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and I will take no options off the table to achieve that goal.
But a peaceful resolution of this issue is still possible, and far better, and if Iran changes course and meets its obligations, it can rejoin the community of nations.
Obama's remarks were measured. The first part was tough, almost threatening, ending with a clear allusion to the possibility of war.
The shorter second part referring to a "peaceful resolution" spoke to the president's preference: avoiding another Middle East war.
So how did Congress react?
It was silent until Obama stated that he would take "no options off the table". That allusion to war caused the chamber to erupt in cheers. The second piece, the reference to a "peaceful resolution" was met with silence, except for scattered applause from perhaps a dozen legislators.
Bergman's article (like Goldberg's earlier piece) is designed to keep things just this way. Sanctions up to a point. War, if deemed necessary, farther down the road. And ideally a war fought by the United States and not Israel, to preserve not Israel's security but its regional hegemony.
If the people of the United States allow that to happen, we are truly out of our minds.
The good news is that President Ahmadinejad now says he is ready for negotiations (whether the country's supreme leader is may be another story). How about President Obama just agreeing to talk - for once without conditions dictated by the pro-war lobby.
But who am I kidding? It is the lobby, and its cutouts in Congress, who are driving this issue. And they want war. That is probably one reason Goldberg and Bergman are so sure it will happen. The lobby usually gets what it wants.

About AFODENICThis loan is administered by AFODENIC, La Asociación para el Fomento al Desarrollo Nicaragua, a Kiva Field Partner based in Managua, Nicaragua. Founded in 1999, AFODENIC was created to promote the socio-economic and cultural development of sectors that are excluded from commercial banking. Integrating economic and human resources, AFODENIC offers affordable and adaptable financial services aimed at strengthening the family unit of their clients, who include students, producers, and micro- and small entrepreneurs from rural and urban areas. AFODENIC is a socially responsible institution engaged in society and making a positive impact on its professional partners and communities.
Supporting a borrower through AFODENIC contributes to the pursuit of innovation in mitigating poverty in Nicaragua. Visit AFODENIC's partner page for more information.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Day 12 – Beach or Bust
We pulled off our plan to get up at 5:00, finish writing journals, and hit the road by 7:00. The perfect plan, yes. But one that landed us back in the LA basin perfectly at evening rush hour. Urgh. However, I suppose riding through 100 miles of parking lot in 90+ temperatures makes the allure of home all that more appealing while reducing the inevitable end-of-the-journey malaise.
Day 11- Romance in Another Sense
Moab in the morning. Ahhh… Sunrise on the saturated red landscape was reflected against the mile-high sky turning the bottoms of billowing white clouds a pronounced pink. Riding under a clear azure sky through this stunning, very romantic scene, I wondered is this the Tuono honeymoon, or have I been overwhelmed with the magic of the Utah desert? When we reach the twisty roads and wind our way through immense red rock walls I think, this is why some consider motorcycling a religious experience.
Day 10 – Love is in the Air
Did I mention I was in love with an inanimate object? OK, so the Tuono is more like a seductive Italian inamorato than a motorcycle, but I certainly can't compare it to what, an espresso machine? No way. I am so hooked on this bike I don't want this trip to end. I can't stand the thought of it being parked alone in the garage again, even just for a night.
Day 9 – Another Night in Colorado
This morning we all felt melancholy as we said our goodbyes and packed up our stuff once again. Guzzi Alice and I had planned to ride to Aspen for lunch and then see how far we could get before supper. Instead, we realized we had way too much writing to do (we are both covering the event) and spending the day playing in the mountains would not help us accomplish that.
Day 8 – Conference Conclusion
Impossible. Really? It can't already be the last day of the conference! Where did the week go? I haven't attended all of seminars or seen some of my friends or met enough new ones. I'm not ready to leave this alpine paradise full of inspirational biker ladies and fantastic riding.
Day 7 – Seminars, Demos, Shopping
Today was another day so chock full of activities I didn't get a chance to ride. Not to worry, the Tuono still got some attention in the form of mini photo shoot outside the condo. Conference goers attended more seminars such as "Accident Scene Management," "Preparing for the Ride," "Motorcycle Mentoring," and more, as others shopped til they dropped in the marketplace.
Day 6 – Seminars and Two-Step
This morning started out with early morning seminars and programs. Attendees got to choose from 13 different seminars presented by women including topics such as: "Making Your Bike Fit You;" "Dual Sport Riding:" "Dealership Interaction;" "Street Strategies" and more.
Day 5 – Riding to New Heights
I'm still suffering adverse physical effects of the altitude, but managed to rouse myself early for a morning motorcycle jaunt up U.S. Route 6 to the top of Loveland Pass. This twisty mountain road reaches 11,990 feet in elevation, peaking at the continental divide.
Day 4 – PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome)
This morning, coffee in hand, I took in the serene alpine scene. I looked out over the snow capped peaks in the distance and the dew covered motorcycles parked below my balcony. Ahhh, is there anything so refreshing as early morning in the mountains, especially at a motorcycle conference? And did I mention the rustic condo comes with a year round Christmas tree? We decorated it moto-style of course.
Day 3 – Altitude Schmaltitude
Alice and I put our motorcycle rubber to road early today and were treated to the spectacular lunar surface effect created by the sun's horizontal morning rays cast across dry lakebed formations. This last glimpse of Utah's splendor from the motorcycles didn't last long as we quickly transitioned into Western Colorado's picturesque mountain wilderness. First stop landed us at the entrance to the state's National Monument, one of the grand landscapes of the American West where I was subsequently attacked by a dinosaur…
Day 2 – Scenic Overload in Utah
It turns out my lucky $10 won us a perfect riding day. The desert heat sapped our drive before we even mounted the bikes in the morning, but as soon as we hit the Utah border everything changed. As we traversed the scenic rollercoaster of mountain ranges, the landscape morphed from barren desert to multi-colored rock walls and the temperature fluctuated but never enough for us to don or shed extra layers. No need for the electric vest or rain suit.
Destination: Keystone, Colorado

NAYPYITAW, Myanmar — President Barack Obama received a hero's welcome two years ago during his historic visit to Myanmar, whose rapid rebirth after decades of repression was a source of hope for the region and beyond. Yet as he meets Thursday with President Thein Sein in the nation's sparkling new capital, Obama is carrying a far grimmer message as he seeks to reverse a worrisome backslide in the country's march toward a freer and fairer society.

In the 1980s and '90s, Kyaw Thu was one of Myanmar's leading film stars, appearing in more than 200 movies. He was so popular that the military government cast him in several propaganda films.

Jeffrey Brown tells the story of personal transformation. Continue reading

In Myanmar, some scholars worry that Bagan — the former capital of a powerful kingdom in medieval times — will be turned into a kind of theme park. Or that it will be "loved to death," as has been the fate of some other great archaeological sites. Those concerns are being raised as this country begins, however tentatively, to open up. Continue reading
We are in Myanmar to report on a country opening up to the world, politically, economically, and culturally. A ruthless military dictatorship clamped down on all opposition, prohibited free expression, and kept the country closed off and shrouded in a North Korean-like secrecy for more than five decades. That has begun to change in the last five years or so, dramatically in the last two. It's tentative, uncertain – and some people we talk with are quick to doubt how far it will go – but it can be seen even in little ways and even in the first days here. Continue reading

I have 100 worksheets with different names saved in a folder. I have another worksheet in another folder where I conduct analysis of data from one of those 100 worksheets. In this analysis worksheet, I have formulas containing name of a worksheet. While all such formulas remain same, I need to change the name of worksheet to another worksheet. How can I do it? Please, help asap.
Your question is very vague, but I think I understand it.
Basically you have a spreadsheet which gets information from a spreedsheet in another document and then does something with it. What you want to do is do the exact same thing for information taken from 100 different documents.
To get information from a spreedsheet in another document you need to use the following syntex in your formula...
For example, to get the information in cell
Now you "just" need to change the information in each formula as needed, how you do this all depends on your naming system. Without more information about the names of each documents and the spreedsheets used it is impossible to give you more help.

Genomic characterization of the conditionally dispensable chromosome in Alternaria arborescens provides evidence for horizontal gene transfer
Fungal plant pathogens cause serious agricultural losses worldwide. Alternaria.
arborescens is a major pathogen of tomato, with its virulence determined by the presence of a conditionally dispensable chromosome (CDC) carrying host-specific toxin genes. Genes encoding these toxins are well-studied, however the genomic content and organization of the CDC is not known.
Results: To gain a richer understanding of the molecular determinants of virulence and the evolution of pathogenicity, we performed whole genome sequencing of A.
arborescens. Here we present the de-novo assembly of the CDC and its predicted gene content.
Also presented is hybridization data validating the CDC assembly. Predicted genes were functionally annotated through BLAST.
Gene ontology terms were assigned, and conserved domains were identified. Differences in nucleotide usage were found between CDC genes and those on the essential chromosome (EC), including GC3-content, codon usage bias, and repeat region load.
Genes carrying PKS and NRPS domains were identified in clusters on the CDC and evidence supporting the origin of the CDC through horizontal transfer from an unrelated fungus was found.
Conclusions: We provide evidence supporting the hypothesis that the CDC in A. arborescens was acquired through horizontal transfer, likely from an unrelated fungus.
We also identified several predicted CDC genes under positive selection that may serve as candidate virulence factors.

Penders said they could use his characters as long as they reinstated how he intended them to be used! Here's how things could have worked out if the greedy, stubborn, and idiotic people involved in this lawsuit had just thought about the fans!
All they'd would have had to do was have the future change, again, so that in King Sonic's & Lara-Su's time it would be something of an amalgam between the unaltered timeline and altered timeline.
Shard I think that's kinda evident. Either he's repaired or gets put into a virtual system like Nicole until a new body can be made.
Knuckles becomes Chaos Knuckles/Enerjack again to bring back his people. Or he has the old Tasmanian Devil that he encountered in Albion to convince Thrash to bring back the Echidna's he banished. Afterwards Knuckles could fix the damage his ancestors did to Thrash's species, the Tasmanian Devil's, or have the Echidna race undo what their ancestors did.
Ixis Naugus last I had seen possessed Geoffrey St. John. Going through the motions of deception and being found out I feel that Naugus would end up destroyed while leaving St. John with some sort of reminder of all that had happened.
Hershey the Cat/St. John I doubt is actually dead. She's most likely in hiding somewhere, maybe even with a child or children. There's a reason for her disappearing from the battle field, she found out she was pregnant and left to keep the child/children safe.
Mecha Sally get's blasted by Naugus's crystal magic but she doesn't get destroyed, and her being crystalized when she attacks "St. John" would help reveal him to be Naugus, after which in a desperate ploy Sonic or one of the others makes a deal with Mammoth Mogul to undo Naugus's crystal magic and thus returning Sally to normal like how Bunny was. And before anyone tries to say that's not possible it should be noted that
Bunnie had forgone her Robian parts to upgrade to stronger cybernetics, so it is possible to change Sally back.
As for Robotnik, I feel that either he gets destroyed or made less of a threat, maybe even robotized again or reverted back to a robotic head by reality being shifted back to normal. Another possibility is that Robotnik somehow gets switched with Eggman, possibly with Silver & time travel, and thus unknown to everyone in the past Robotnik got destroyed in place of Eggman while Eggman is switched with Robotnik. That may actually stabilize the Prime Zone greatly. There are many options to dealing with Robotnik.
St. John reveals unto the citizens that Naugus had used a spell to amplify the citizens' emotions at Mina's concert, causing them to react strongly to Mina's musical message of suspicion against Nicole. That would thereby shame the citizen's and allow Nicole some freedom again.
Silver's time would be up in the air as either fixed or better off than it was, thus allow silver to form a new Freedom Fighters.
Did I not address a solution for a problem in the series? Please tell me if I did!
murdered, and then it's remnants recycled into a piece of !@#$% placed in a pretty package and then I'm expected to stay a loyal customer! Well guess again dipshits! I have all but one of my fingers clenched and it's facing you! I don't know which of you three is to blame but you SEGA, ARCHIE, and Ken Penders are the most worst pieces of !@#$%^&* I've had the displeasure of knowing! And I've met a lot of !@#$%^ in my life! So I know what I'm talking about! Unless you fix the comic back to it's true glory you can never expect me to buy any future merchandise from you! NO games, comics, or whatever from you !@#$%^ !
Sounds reasonable to me.
Wow. Just... no one has ever thought of these and yet they make so much sense! Knuckles and Sally's stories are so perfect and just picturing Hershey in that predicament... Shard's story was totally right on too. The Eggman/Robotnik part kind of confused me though, but all in all, this is the greatest solution ever thought up for the Sonic Archie comics! Great...no...awesome...no... FRIGGEN EPIC JOB!!!!!!

Airport's runway expansion OK'dNovember 13,2013Airport's runway
extension is OK'd
WILMINGTON — Plans to upgrade and continue the revitalization of a southern Vermont airport have gotten another big boost after Wilmington's Development Review Board approved a plan that to extend the runway.
The conditional-use permit issued last week calls for a runway that would be no more than 4,450 feet long and 75 feet wide.
Much of the airport is in Dover, but a section of the runway is in Wilmington.
Earlier this year the former Mount Snow Airport was purchased and renamed the Deerfield Valley Airport. It's part of a broader plan to bring more visitors to the region.
Officials don't anticipate bringing in jets larger than eight to 12 seats, the Brattleboro Reformer reported.MORE IN This Just In

Guttermouth is an American punk rock band formed in 1988 in Huntington Beach, California and currently recording for Hopeless Records. They have released nine full-length studio albums and two live albums and have toured extensively, including performances on the Vans Warped Tour. They are infamous for their outrageous lyrics and behavior which are deliberately explicit, offensive and intended to shock, though usually in a humorous and sarcastic manner. This behavior has sometimes resulted in high-profile problems for the band, such as being banned from performing in Canada for eighteen months and leaving the 2004 Warped Tour amidst controversy over their political views and attitudes towards other performers.

TheBump.com And Breastfeeding.com Create First-Ever Public Display Of Breastfeeding Day
NEW YORK, Aug. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fact: Breast milk sells on the Internet for approximately 262 times the price of oil. Why? It's the greatest gift a mom can give her baby. Not only a benefit to baby by boosting immunity and promoting brain development, breastfeeding also reduces mom's lifetime risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer, while burning an average of 500 calories per day! (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120618/MM26636LOGO-c)(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120801/NY50406LOGO) In support of National Breastfeeding Awareness Month in August and to fight the stigma against breastfeeding, TheBump.com, the fastest-growing pregnancy and parenting website, and Breastfeeding.com, the number one breastfeeding website, today announced the " Public Display of Breastfeeding" (PDB) campaign. While the majority of moms are all for breastfeeding in public, a poll conducted by TheBump.com found that more than 1 in 10 moms surveyed felt breastfeeding should be done in private instead of public, and 14% admitted public breastfeeding makes them a little uncomfortable—a clear indication that there's not enough support for breastfeeding moms. TheBump.com created the PDB campaign to encourage moms to show their breastfeeding pride in public on August 15, 2012. On this official "Public Display of Breastfeeding Day," more than 1,000 moms on TheBump.com have promised to breastfeed—and the number continues to grow. Moms are posting their pride on Facebook and on Twitter with the hashtag #PDB and also encouraging fellow moms to join the boob-olution. "There can never be enough support and encouragement for moms to breastfeed, and as a leading pregnancy resource, we wanted to reach moms everywhere to raise awareness for the proven and undeniable benefits of breastfeeding," says Carley Roney, editor in chief of TheBump.com. "With plenty of stigmas associated with breastfeeding in public and breastfeeding in general, we felt it was our duty to launch the Public Display of Breastfeeding campaign. We hope to empower moms across the country to see and believe they can breastfeed anywhere." In addition to TheBump.com and Breastfeeding.com Public Display of Breastfeeding campaign, TheBump.com offers breastfeeding resources, online events and information on TheBump.com/breastfeeding, including:

Mitch Daniels, Purdue University president and former Indiana governor, will be the keynote speaker for this year's Columbus Economic Development Board annual meeting.
The meeting will be at 11:30 a.m. May 5 at The Commons in downtown Columbus.
"Columbus is blessed with quality educational resources, and the important tie between education and economic development is a topic that we've often chosen to feature during our annual meeting," said Jason Hester, the county's economic development board executive director.
Daniels will talk about Purdue's direction for the future and the opportunities that it could bring for Columbus, Hester said.
Purdue's influence is felt close to home through the Purdue College of Technology and IUPUC campus on Columbus' northside.
Those who attend the luncheon also will hear about the Economic Development Board's activities from Hester, 2013 Chairman Al Roszczyk and 2014 Chairman Kurt Ellis.
Ellis said Daniels probably will give suggestions on how Columbus and Bartholomew County can continue to grow the economy.
"Our number-one goal is to work with existing primary employers and help them grow and expand in Columbus and Bartholomew County," Ellis said of the economic development board.
He described that process as complicated, as the area's unemployment — typically among the state's lowest, and at 5.2 percent in February — means companies are working extremely hard to find employees.
The economic development board is also working to attract and recruit new companies, which have many choices when it comes to choosing a place to grow, Ellis said.
Continuing to be competitive and strong in education, health care and economic development are crucial, he said.
Ellis will introduce Daniels, the 49th governor and the 12th president of Purdue University, during the meeting.
Daniels was elected as governor in 2004 and re-elected in 2008, receiving more votes than any candidate for any public office in the state's history.
He held numerous top management positions in the private and public sectors, including serving as CEO of the Hudson Institute and president of Eli Lilly and Co.'s North American pharmaceutical
He also served as a senior adviser to President Ronald Reagan and director of the Office of Management and Budget under President George W. Bush.
At Purdue, Daniels is
making student affordability and success his priorities. He has frozen Purdue tuition this year and said there will be no increases for at least two more years.
The Purdue University College of Technology is part of a statewide network that offers the same technology degrees available in West Lafayette, home of the main campus for the university. The College of Technology is located in the Advanced Manufacturing Center for Excellence.
If you go
What: Columbus Economic Development Board annual meeting
Keynote speaker: Purdue President Mitch Daniels, former governor of Indiana
