Historical Traveler Reviews Gran Melia Don Pepe Marbella
Do Not go to the Don Pepe
My husband and I arrived here today and have been nothing but dissapointed from the minute we walked into this place. I am actually writing this review from one of the miniscule "standard rooms" here. Nothing here is acceptable to us. The decor is awful. The looby is dated and smells musky. The room is so small that 2 people can not pass in front of the bed.
We are here on out honeymoon and came to this place because of the reviews we read on trip advisor. DO NOT BE MISLEAD!!! We are looking for other hotels to move into tomorrow because this place is that bad. It is by far the most expensive with the least to offer.
We had a 92euro dinner tonight that was bad at best. I have NO idea what the posititve reviews were based on. All that AND there is not one couple younger than 65 here.
Save yourself a LOT of grief and DO NOT come here.
We HIGHLY recommend the Hotel Arts in Barcelona. I wish we ahd stayed there longer.
Gran Melia Don Pepe in Marbella is a great hotel
We recently stayed at the Gran Melia Don Pepe for 3 nights during our honeymoon on May 24-27, 2005.
We were in an upgraded corner room with a balcony that wrapped around the room and was quite large for European standards.
The bathroom was a nice size and the tub had jacuzzi jets in it and the shower was huge with many different shower heads at different levels - great for honeymooners!
The location of the hotel in Marbella can't be beat. I believe it's the only hotel that is located right on the beach. All others have to cross a busy street to reach the beach, but we just had to walk down a few steps and through a gate before we were right on the boardwalk that stretches quite a distance in both directions. We were just a 3-minute walk to "downtown" Marbella where there is a big complex of cafes, pubs, restaurants and a little grocery store, movie theatre and shops.
The only thing I didn't like about our room is that the bed was comprised of two single beds pushed together. They had separate bedding and there was a definite crack in the middle, so sleeping right next to my new husband wasn't too comfortable.
We decided to sun ourselves on the beach as opposed to the pool and had to pay 4 Euros each to rent the chairs for the day. It was worth it though because it was much more quiet than the pool. The pool has quite a few "beds" that are under canopys that you can lay on, with curtains that can open and close around it. I'm not sure if they had to be rented or not.
The restaurants were very good as well. We ate in the dining room our first night there and had great food as well as service. We moved into the piano lounge after dinner for a couple of drinks, which turned out to be about 12.50 Euros each, so we didn't hang out there again for the rest of our stay. The pianist was good though and it was fun to sit and relax there.
The breakfast buffet spread is fantastic! There aren't any live stations for omelettes or waffles, but what was there was really good. Eggs, meats, fresh fruit, breakfast breads, cereals.......it was all there.
I do have to say that the rest of the patrons in the hotel seemed MUCH older than us, and we're 30. If you're young and looking to hang out with people your own age, this may not be the place. We didn't mind because as honeymooners, we weren't looking to hang out with anybody but ourselves.
Overall, I definitely recommend the Don Pepe to spend your holiday at!
We have just returned from spending Easter at this hotel. We spent a week there about 5 years ago. Let me get the complaint out of the way first! You'll see I still give this hotel 5 stars though!
We booked on the SolMelia website. On arrival the outdoor pool was under rennovation so could not be used. And the spa was also closed for rennovation, so no sauna, Turkish bath or massage. But no mention of this on the website. Naughty. Truth is neither I or my partner are outdoor pool users so not a problem. But I was looking forward to the spa. But here are the good points:
i) The position is stunning. Located right on the beach/promenade, so no road between the hotel and beach. We could walk along the front to Marbella in 15 minute stroll/10 minutes at more of a pace. We walked to Puerto Banus all along the front so no road in about 35 minutes.
ii) The gardens are lovely and the outdoor pool area will be stunning - big pools facing the sea.
iii) We booked a standard room, and got a beautiful room as they all face the sea. The rooms have been renovated to a very high quality and standard. Lovely beds, and a French Provencal decor. Lovely and light and airy. Gorgeous bathroom with nice toiletries, towelling robes and slippers, and the loo and bidet were separated off by a sliding glass door. It was unrecognisable from the room we had 5 years ago. The room is ample, with a sofa and dining table, and a balcony with chairs, table and lights so you can read at night while getting the sea air.
iv) The dining room for breakfast was lovely - light airy and very big with views of the garden. Nice breakfast with everything, but the hot breakfast food was disappointing - too oily for us! And no omelettes made to order, just fried eggs, frankfurter sausages, very streaky bacon. But lovely cold meats, cheeses, salad, etc. Bread and rolls and other pastries were lovely.
v) Peaceful. As the hotel does not face the road, all we heard was the sea. The clientele were upmarket holiday makers. No slamming doors, screaming kiddies or groups. Very calm and peaceful.
vi) Lovely spacious and light and airy public places. Very calm and relaxing.
vii) Plenty of parking for hire cars. Never a problem. Also there is a security guard at the actual road entrance to the car park who once they got to know us were so friendly.
viii) Staff were wonderful. Friendly but unobtrusive. Always willing and helpful. They actual appear truly genuine in their approach and pride in their jobs. The maid kept our room spotless and the level of cleanliness and hygiene is the best I have ever come across in an hotel. And we are messy and picky! We forgot to take our Do Not Disturb sign off the door so the room did not get made up (they really do respect the DND sign!). Within 5 minutes of us apologising for this and asking for some new towels, the maid was up and did the whole room - at 7.30pm!
ix) The corridors and lifts are spotless, always someone cleaning and polishing! The corridors are light and airy, and each landing has sofas and flowers.
x) We did not eat in the hotel at night, but the menu looked nice and varied, and there were plenty of people eating in the evening restaurant. Half Board would be better value than eating A La Carte. And no, it's not a bland buffet in the evening, but waiter service with speciality dishes.
xi) Evening entertainment is a quiet night in the relaxing bar with a piano player/singer. Lovely.
Overall, apart from the lack of the spa due to the rennovations (which will make the hotel even more lovely), we could not fault this hotel and did not want to leave. We could have lived there! And we are VERY picky and fussy when it comes to hotels. This hotel is not a small boutique hotel where everyone appear a bit nosey. We do not like those so called more 'intimate' hotels. It is a large, spacious modern hotel for peole who like calm, relaxation, sophistication, all amenties to hand, but not overly stuffy and interfering. A very upmarket, classy holiday/business hotel with not a sign of a package tour in sight!
Be warned. In Marbella, like the South of France, you get what you pay for. We looked at other hotels which had been a bit cheaper. Many are on the other side of the road so you have to cross a very busy motorway to get to the beach or the seafront promenade, and your room would have no views. Some aer a few miles outside of Marbella, on the motorway in bland built up areas, so be careful and check the actual location. There are only a handful of hotels in actual Marbella/Puerto Banus on the beach/seafront, and one or two do not compare to the Don Pepe for such pristine conditions. The Fuerte hotels, and the Coral Beach look tired in comparison and need updating. The Puente Romano look shabbier and not as clean too (also with a disused seafront restaurant to teh side which was part of the hotel when we were in Marbella all those years ago), and the Marbella Beach Club did not impress us as much either - much smaller pool and more cluttered communal areas. I used the loo at the latter and it was nowhere near as spotless as the Don Pepe. However, some people may prefer the more Andalucian style of the Puente and Beach Club - we preferred the modern grandeur of the Don Pepe. Americans will love it.
I truly commend Melia on this hotel. I'll say it again, it was so clean and spotless everything gleamed. The staff take grat pride in the hotel, from the doormen, the security guards, the maids and waiters. On checking out, the receptionist insisted I check the bill - it was spot on.
We loved it so much we are going back again in May.
Finally, the weather. We were there from 23-8 March. It was lovely. About 23 degrees. Light from 7.00am to about 8.00pm. The colours in Marbella - the sea, sky, gardens and walkways are gorgeous. It did rain for half a day, but cleared up to glorious sunshine lasting to 8.00pm.
I highly recommend this hotel, and say the extra Euros for it are definitely worth it.
Bad hotel great for shameless oldies
If you are young and in your senses you wont got.... bad service, okay rooms....very bad guests horrible beach
Superb Hotel
Stayed At Don Pepe August 2004. this is an excellent all round hotel and in our opinion,the eceptional beach and pool complex makes this suitable for groups of all ages. We did find the restaurants in the hotel expensive but there are many very reasonable restaurants within a few minutes walking distance of the hotel and if you want there is no shortage of late night entertainment in Marbella which is only a 15 minute cab ride away.
A delightful stay!
I spent a week at the Don Pepe in November as organiser of a 30 person conference. Everyone agreed; this was the best venue and hotel we have ever used!
The hotel is beautiful, the food is excellent, and the service was outstanding.
For the first time ever, I didn't receive one complaint about rooms.
The Don Pepe was so good, we have already booked again for February and I can see my company doing a lot of business here.
Excellent + + +
A trip Spoilt
I went with my sister, were having a nice time the first day, pool side is good, but not a great hotel for young people (we usuallly go to miami but thought should try spain) most of their guests are 50+.
This 70's something spanish pool attendant was very kind to my sister (in her 20's) and being very flirtatious, inviting her to dinner etc. whenever he saw her. She would laugh it off and dismissed it thinking it to be a joke.
The pool used to be empty most of the time as its massive (I mean really big with two sides -- one being over 7 feet deep, diving not allowed)... We had nothing better to do... no entertainment no fun crowd; just older people who look at you with dirty eyes and make you feel guilty for not being their age. Basically it's not a youth friendly hotel.
So we put our floaters in the pool the very first day.... (a wheel and an inflatable bed) and the fourth day the same old pool attendant comes to my sister and asks her to take the floaters out of the pool. We kept asking for a reason and he became aggressive and started shouting saying that an old guest doesnt like it... We asked if they were prohibitted as there were no signs at the pool side regarding floaters (diving not allowed sign was visible, no nudity sign was there, and other signs like, shower before entering the pool etc)
We asked if we could ask at the reception and he threatens us that if we went to the reception he wouldn't even allow us into the pools at all!!!!! Believe it or Not!
There are two possibilities, the old pool attendant got upset coz he could not take my sis out to dinner, and took it out this way... or the old guest really complained saying it was unhygienic. But can someone explain to me how it can be so when the same old guest was spitting in the pool big time, saggy women sit topless, naughty kids diving into the pool and splashing the water everywhere.... AND you see 'cobwebs' on the showers near the pool. THe kids pool was the best... with really cloudy water like mushroom soup. And the trip was spoilt we spoke to the manager etc who was a good for nothing he just kept apologising for the attendants behaviour. Upon making him aware of all the unhygienic sighting mentioned above he would just smile like a dummy.... aaaaaaaaaargh
Please dont consider this horrible hotel if you want to have fun and don't want that old-age home feeling. Oh and the last two days our rooms were not even cleaned.
Great hotel
The hotel is very good and the rooms are finished to a very high standard. The pool area is also very good and the gardens are extensive. The only downside is that everything in the hotel is expensive (food and drink) also the pool side lunch menu is disapointing for a hotel of this class.
Don Pepe, a wonderful hotel
We stayed from Sept. 18 - 21 and it was wonderful. Lovely, spacious lobby. Wonderful grounds. Nice pool. The marble promenade along the beach started at this hotel. But the room was the best. It had rough ceramic (or slate) tiles with area rugs, and it was a nice size according to European standards. AND IT WAS CLEAN!!!! There were two twin beds together (their version of king??), 2 night tables, a settee, a marble table and 2 chairs, a long credenza for the TV, and a large closet with drawers. Ice was available in a machine in each hallway. We Americans love our ice, which we can't always get easily in Europe. And a wonderful view from our balcony. The service was very good and the staff were pleasant. We were always able to get cabs. We had a balcony overlooking the lovely grounds and sea. The only complaint is that the lunch buffet is $50 per person, which is exceptionally high for lunch.
We ate at the grill one day, Orange Square, the next day, and Puerto Banus the day before we left. The beach is nice, but not as nice as the white sand of the Jersey shore. Although we paid close to $300 a night (including breakfast), I would definitely go to this hotel again if we ever go back to the Costa del Sol. Another thing...many British people both at the hotel and in the area.
The Gran Melia Don Pepe is delightful
This is a great place to stay while in Marbella. The Hotel rooms and hallways have just been completely renovated. My room with a sea view was perhaps the nicest room Ive ever stayed in. The floors are done with a stone like tile. If you visit there website (...), you can get a good idea as to how beautiful these rooms are decorated. The bathroom was also brand new and had all the extras you would expect in a fine hotel. After checking-in, a bowl of fruit and bottle of wine were placed on a table in our room. This was compliments of the hotel and was a great touch. The grounds of the hotel were lovely with 3 pools that overlook the Mediterranean Sea. Lounge chairs were plentiful. I paid 225 Euros (No meals) to stay here and felt I received good value. If you are considering this hotel, check out the rates (...) at the Melia website. The one area that needs improvement is the food service. From my perspective, a breakfast buffet that costs approximately 20 Euros per person and a lunch buffet that costs over 45 Euros per person is way out of line. Because of these prices we ate elsewhere right near the hotel. Having visited the Caribbean frequently, I would have preferred to have music playing in the background of the pool area and would have liked a barbeque out there with burgers, chicken etc. This would have made the pool area a lot more festive. To sum it up, this is a great location in Marbella. The Gran Melia Don Pepe has done a wonderful job in renovating their rooms and earns its 5 Star G.L. rating. I would definitely stay here again as long as the price did not escalate.

ENVIRONMENT campaigner Ian Kiernan wants a beverage container deposit system to be implemented nationally, labelling a court challenge to such legislation in the Northern Territory as ''arrogant''.
Mr Kiernan said a national cash-for-containers scheme would increase recycling rates and reduce waste. The Territory is offering 10¢ refunds for containers brought to collection depots, paid by the beverage manufacturers.
But it has been challenged in the Federal Court by Coca-Cola-Amatil, Schweppes and Lion Nathan.

Report: More Hurricanes suspended
CORAL GABLES — Citing multiple sources, InsideTheU.com reported Wednesday that four football players have been suspended as a result of two unrelated incidents.
According to the report, running back Storm Johnson, linebacker Travis Williams and cornerback Keion Payne were involved in an incident on April 27 at a UM residential hall, which eventually involved the University of Miami Police Department. Offensive lineman Jermaine Barton was involved in a separate incident on April 29.
According to InsideTheU.com, the four players are expected to be suspended for at least one game, although the penalty for the repeat offenders could be more. It is undetermined which game they will serve the suspensions.
A UM spokesperson said Wednesday that no players have been suspended.
According to InsideTheU.com, this is the second time Johnson and Payne have been involved in an incident.
There were multiple reports in March that six players – Johnson, Payne, left tackle Seantrel Henderson, linebacker Kelvin Cain, defensive end Dyron Dye and defensive back Devont'a Davis — had been suspended for the season opener against Maryland. Coach Al Golden would neither confirm nor deny when asked about it during spring practice.

ingenuity festival, carlos jones, l'albatros, tremont taphouse and lolita oh my!
Monday, September 27, 2010
i had so much fun, traipsed all over our fair city and as i'm reflecting on what i did i'm not sure how i fit it all in and survived to tell the tale.
- dinner/drinks with CK, AJP, the klutz and the jerk at johnny's little bar.
- ingenuity festival under the detroit bridge with all the aforementioned people.
- carlos jones and the plus band at brothers lounge where more friends like muffin, jesse, colleen and KJ made appearances.
- sobering up late night breakfast at my friends deli with AJP and CK that from what i can remember involved a feta cheese omelet, nom.
- spent a couple hours at the arhaus furniture loft clearance center where purchased a new dining room / kitchen table for my new home.
- headed to beachwood place for a little shopping spree that ended up with me bring home a hot new pair of boots that i'm kind of in love with, some tops from h&m, a hot shirt from nordy's and a cute new skirt from banana that upon attempting to wear out saturday night realized that sitting down and not showing my lady parts wasn't really an option... i.e. return.
- CK and i met our wonderful friends moe and mark at barking spider for some pre-dinner cocktails..... yes, i was actually on the east side.
- dinner at l'albatros with CK, moe and mark where we drank wine, ate cheese and dined like civilized people at a chic french restaurant. we are soooooooo cosmopolitan, that is until someone orders a glass of cockburn port.... cock.burn.
- post dinner drinks at the velvet tango room with CK rounded out the night perfectly especially the navan vanilla cognac, mmmmm.
- brunch and mimosas at tremont taphouse with my long lost friend JV, and my not so long lost friends (because i was with them all weekend), AJP and CK.
- brunch turned into into drinking grand marnier and watching the browns lose (again).
- played M.A.S.H and tic tac toe during halftime naturally.
- post browns loss, CK and i headed to lolita for a bottle of my favorite jaffurs syrah because if was a sunday night in america and we can do what we want.
- cheese and wine coma ensued.
this weekend was the epitome of fun cleveland living, in my humble option, and i can't wait to do it all again.
have a good week all!

Thanks for letting me spend my entire weekend with you. I'm already going through withdrawls.ReplyDelete
I always read about your weekends wondering how you fit it all in and live to tell about it. =)ReplyDelete
Congrats again on the best blog!
Sounds like another fantastical weekend! Mine was a bit less exciting!ReplyDelete
So I guess just being east of public square is considered "the east side?"ReplyDelete
I guess I live on "the east side."
So while my weekend involved entirely different things, I agree. This weekend was super awesome. It seems like everyone I know had a really uncommonly good one, across the board. And I think it's because we all spent time at one point or another at Ingenuity. That bridge is fucking magic.ReplyDelete
Your weekends are the best, girlie. Always so packed. Late night drinks and late brunches are always awesome to have!ReplyDelete
So glad we rekindled our love. Remember...don't be slutty.ReplyDelete

Dinah Shore Movies and Career Information
Feb 29, 1916
Actor and Director
Feb 29, 1916
Actor and Director
Dinah Shore was an American singer, actress, television personality, and the top-charting female vocalist of the 1940s. She reached the height of her popularity as a recording artist during the Big Band era of the 1940s and 1950s, but achieved even greater success a decade later, in television, mainly as hostess of a series of variety programs for Chevrolet. After failing singing auditions for the bands of Benny Goodman and both Jimmy Dorsey and his brother Tommy Dorsey, Shore struck out on her own to become the first singer of her era to achieve huge solo success. She had a string of 80 charted popular hits, lasting from 1940 into the late 1950s, and after appearing in a handful of films went on to a four-decade career in American television, starring in her own music and variety shows in the 1950s and 1960s and hosting two talk shows in the 1970s. TV Guide magazine ranked her at #16 on their list of the top fifty television stars of all time. Stylistically, Shore was compared to two singers who followed her in the mid-to-late 1940s and early 1950s, Doris Day and Patti Page.

OMG! I'm back after months and months of being MIA! haha ..
It's my first time to blog about my boyfriend. He's different from the one who broke my heart a few months back-- not just the gender but also with the personality. He's Erwin, 23 and most likely the sweetest boyfriend on earth! haha excuse me if I'm exaggerating, cause that's how he makes me feel right now :) It's almost 11 at night and here I am "kinikilig" while blogging about my man :)
Okay so we're running 3 months now.. no serious fight yet and still luckily head over heels for each other..
hmmmm... what more can I say? We've known each other since college and after 3 years here we are, falling for each other once again.. Once again.. yes you read that right... He was my ex three years ago.. things happen when we least expect it and voila! bigla na lang kaming di nagpansinan sa school :p
Even our friends were shocked... We didn't plan this to happen.. maybe God did and I thank Him for that... This man is such a blessing--the best thing that ever happened to me.
Oh before I forget... What happened to me the past few months? I got hired on March. I've worked as a Customer Service Representative in a call center in Clark. I decided to quit on June due to health and some personal reasons.
I'm currently looking for a job... Any suggestions?
goodnight :)

Youngsters at a Carshalton primary school are celebrating after being chosen as runners up in the Speaker's School Council Awards.
Stanley Park Infants School was chosen by the judging panel as runners up in their category for which they received a commemorative plaque.
Tom Brake, MP for Carshalton and Wallington awarded the youngsters with the plaque on Friday, July 13.
The scheme was launched in 2010 by House of Commons Speaker, John Bercow, and is designed to encourage interest among students in democratic values.
Schools were invited to enter the competition and youngsters at Stanley Park Infants School submitted their project called Pupil Choices.
As part of the project, children discussed how children should behave in school and the school's council members looked into all their suggestions.
Some of the choices the children came up with included good listening and learning, trying hard and respecting each other.
Head teacher, Sharon Roberts, said she was very proud of the youngsters and added: "They were over the moon – I think because they all have ownership over it."

So this blog is going to be about cheese that comes in a can. Yes, yes, I know. The headline is unabashedly cheesy(<——SEE WHAT I DID THERE?! The fun never ends.) but I can't apologize for every piece of innuendo I stumble across out there.
Currently, in the late May era of 2011, I've noticed a customer trend. I'm not sure where it started or how (but I have my suspicions…) but there has been a huge influx of visitors to the shop that all pose a similar question: "Hey, have you guys heard of that one cheese. You know. That cheese that comes in a can?!" Yes, customer, I have. Do I know or care to know anything about it? No. But, alas, when researching the term "world news cheese," this can-cheese popped up over and over again. So, I decided to get down to the bottom of it and learn EVERYTHING I COULD ABOUT IT. That'll show you and your questions.
The cheese in question? This little baby:

Karsyn Craves
This compilation starts with a scene from the first of my "Best Head Ever" series. Karsyn sucks the life out of me and then I fuck her real good to show my gratitude. She oozes her white cum all over that big black cock and screams as I pound away at her pussy. I squirt my juices on her face and then she hits me up the next day and said she wanted me to play with her ass. I just wanted that fat juicy thing in my face so I jumped on it quick and shoved a but plug right in there to loosen things up until she can't take it anymore! This whore shows her pink pussy begging to be fucked by my big black cock until she screams and moans. I fuck her doggie how she likes; she loves getting dicked down so much I know this cum loving slut will be back for more!

Carnival of souls
* Over at Robot 6 today, I've got a big ol' interview with Fantagraphics' Eric Reynolds on the occasion of Mome's 20th volume and 5th anniversary. I've really enjoyed following Mome through the years; it seems like precisely the sort of regularly scheduled, meaty anthology people would be calling for if it didn't already exist. Sure, there have been a lot of duds in there, but it's also published some absolute monsters: Tim Hensley, Anders Nilsen, David B., John Hankiewicz, Josh Simmons, Kiloffer, my single favorite Jeffrey Brown comic, Al Columbia, Eleanor Davis...
* Wow, does this ever look good: Destroy All Movies!!!: The Complete Guide to Punks on Film, coming soon from Fantagraphics. Somehow this book completely evaded my radar, which is unforgivable of me. A flip through the Flickr gallery alone yielded the guy who flips Spock the bird on the bus in Star Trek IV, the surf punks from Back to the Beach, and of course The Road Warrior, which means this could not be more up my alley. I am absolutely fascinated by how punk was somehow most frequently depicted as a post-apocalyptic gang/tribe. Why the hell should that be?
* Speaking of, sort of: Powr Mastrs 3 is almost here!
* Dan DiDio and Jim Lee talk to CBR's Kiel Phegley about DC's price drop. I was struck by Lee's argument that no one's losing work because if you can do 22 pages a month instead of 20 (which is what issues will now run), that means you can do 13 books a year instead of 12. I was also struck by DiDio's characterization of comics as a weekly experience as opposed to one best experienced a trade paperback at a time.
* Meanwhile, Chris Butcher weighs in on the price drop.
* The great World of Warcraft blogger Bruce Baugh is back at it. This time, in anticipation of the big "Cataclysm" thingamajig that I understand will literally remake the map of Warcraft's World, he's putting together a series of videos that take us on a guided tour of some of the WoW places and things that have most impressed and entertained him. I really like this description of WoW maker Blizzard's worldbuilding style: "I once read a comparison to really good mainstream rock and pop acts, and that seems to me right on -- it's about combining the available material and spinning it just right, each time."
* I've barely ever played this (because I always sucked at video games and lacked the patience to get better) but even I'm excited by the news that the classic Konami X-Men beat-'em-up arcade game will soon be ported to XBoxes and PlayStations. That thing really was the star attraction of any arcade it was at. (Via Chris Conroy.)
* This little Jim Fusili Wall Street Journal profile of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's score for The Social Network really gets at what the music Reznor has made in this vein is about. "Or, as Mr. Reznor describes it, 'The piece communicates tension, vulnerability, sadness and something unpleasant.'" (Via Whitney Matheson.)
* My chums at Found Item Clothing, makers of the best movie t-shirts I've ever seen, present their annual Halloween Costume Guide. I don't know if I ever realized how glorious Edgar Frog's t-shirt from The Lost Boys is. Look at this thing! It doesn't make any sense at all...and yet I agree with every word.
Comments (2)
As always, thanks for the pointer, Sean. :)
As for punk and post-apocalypse, I read somewhere the idea that punks were a convenient synecdoche for all the forces destroying existing civilization, so they're in the wastelands because they (and all their kind) made them. Seems to fit.
That's great news about the XMEN port, indeed. Love that game. They actually have one - a fully restored model - at Ground Kontrol, a retro arcade here in Portland, Oregon.

Nicki Minaj will be performing her current single "Anaconda" this Sunday night at the MTV Video Music Awards. She was slated to take the stage with a 6-foot long, real-life anaconda; however, it might be onto Plan B for the rapper. According to TMZ, one of her dancers was bitten by the snake during rehearsal.
The dancer was rushed to the hospital and is being treated. While not venomous, anaconda bites often transmit bacteria that can develop into serious infections.
The snake was transported off the stage in a container and it is unclear whether it will still make an appearance during the VMAs.
This would not be the first time a snake is used in a VMA performance; Britney Spears famously appeared with a yellow python during her performance of "I'm a Slave 4 U" at the 2001 awards.
Minaj just released her racy video for the single this week, which is off her latest album "The Pinkprint." At this time, the release date is still unknown.

PHOTOS! Here again are pictures of Japan's famed pitcher Eri Yoshida. Eri Yoshida pics as the top knuckleball pitcher heated up LALATE two years ago.
This week Eri Yoshida met with U.S. knuckleballer Tim Wakefield of the Boston Red Sox. Eri is the first female drafted in the Japanese majors by Kobe 9 Cruise of the Kansai Independent Baseball League.
Eri Yoshida Pictures
LALATE first profiled Eri at age 16 when she was signed to the team Kobe 9 Cruise. In 2009 she got her first start in the 9th inning against the Osaka Gold Villicanes.
She tells press this week:
"I think everything that he taught me is going to give me a chance to really work on what I need to work on. But also, I got a chance to meet him and it really gave me some courage and the confidence I need to really get back to training hard."
In 2009 Eri Yoshida told press:
"I always dreamed of becoming a professional. I have only just been picked by the team and haven't achieved anything yet."
She attended Kawasaki Kita High School in Kanagawa Prefecture and was draft seventh round by the Kobe 9 Cruise.

Hey there....I really hear you on the arthritis in the hands. Brutally bad of late, especially when it is cold and rainy. But, I'm determined to get back in the mix. I've learned in the last 4-5 months that even when it hurts and it frigs up my playing, it's better than not playing at all.
Hang in there and have fun...
Okay, I hear you....anyway, if you decide to come over for the open mic, let me know and I'll show you around and maybe we can have a beer.....
Good idea.....I'm likely going the next few Fridays so let me know if you are going to drop in and we can connect.
Just curious, if you are a 'rookie' how come you have so many good guitars?
Hi James,
Yes, small world....and I see you do folk stuff as well. How are you enjoying your first year of guitar?
Hello James ... welcome to the Acoustic Guitar Magazine online community.

This year is going to be a memorable year in New Zealand. In fact, the year 2014 might just be remembered as the year of "Championships:' the "Waka Ama Championships." Perhaps "The Year of Competition" of unprecedented competition might be more appropriate because without the competition there would be no championships.
However, one thing is certain. The people of New Zealand are "Celebrating 25 years of Waka Ama Sprint Nationals." Between March 2014 and Feb. 2015, there are 18 scheduled competitive events.
These include the 25th Annual ActivePost National Sprint Championship 2014, 2014 ActivePost Waka Ama Long Distance Nationals, 2014 ActivePost National Secondary School Waka Ama Championships, RIO World Sprints 2014 and International Race Information.
Several events like the Mana Super 6 Ocean Challenge and the Omokoroa Dash are (Subject to Sanctioning Approval)
One remarkable aspect of these numerous competitive events is the number of students involved, according to Lara Collins, Chief Executive of Waka Ama New Zealand.
"We've made huge strides these past thirteen years to take Waka Ama into as many schools as possible. Each year we get more schools taking the sport up and, for the very first time since the Christchurch Earthquake, we'll have schools from the South Island competing at these championships."
A great many New Zealanders are enthusiastic about their support of the Waka Ama Championships. One of the most outspoken groups is the Waka Ama NZ.
"Established in 1987, Nga Kaihoe O Aotearoa (Waka Ama New Zealand) is the national governing body for Waka Ama in New Zealand.
"Waka Ama's vision is to lead the development, practice and promotion of the sport and culture of Waka Ama so that by 2035, future generations will have a sport where: Waka Ama is a heavyweight in the Aotearoa/New Zealand sporting psyche and is recognized as a global leader and significant influencer in the sport, nationally and internationally."
The canoe or Waka is essential to heritage and culture of the people of New Zealand. It is believed that their ancestors the Maori people were some of the greatest canoe builders and navigators.
"Waka is the Māori word for canoe. The ancestors of Māori were among the greatest of canoe builders, navigators and mariners. Over the course of several thousand years, long before they came to New Zealand, Māori ancestors left South-East Asia and Oceania and came to Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia. "
It is believed that "Over time, an outrigger (a secondary hull fixed parallel to the canoe) was added to increase stability. Decks gave stability between the hull and the outrigger. Sails were also added for greater speed, and steering paddles controlled direction."
It appears that this "Celebrating 25 years of Waka Ama Sprint Nationals." Is also a way of remembering or recapturing a history that goes backs thousands of years.

Women's Gymnastics Topples Iowa
Jan. 23, 2005
Iowa City, Iowa- While the meet was a day later than scheduled due to inclement weather, it was worth the wait to the University of Illinois at Chicago women's gymnastics team, who chalked up their first victory of the season with a 191.125-190.325 road win over Iowa on Sunday.
The Flames, who were supposed to meet the GymHawks on Saturday afternoon but were delayed by the snowstorm that passed through the Midwest this weekend, turned in a season-best score team score and used senior Jackie Jaworowicz's first all-around victory of the year to snare the win.
Veronique Meunier won the meet's vault title with a 9.8, while Alyson Cacciatore, making her 2005 all-around debut, placed first in the uneven bars with a season-high 9.725.
UIC received a very balanced team performance. Jaworowicz led the way with a 38.3 all-around score for the win, followed by Cacciatore in third place with a 37.9 and Jennifer O'Neil's fourth-place 37.5. O'Neil also took second in the uneven bars behind Cacciatore with a 9.675.
Senior Stacey Magiera led UIC on beam with a 9.675.
Freshman Ashley Howe placed third in the vault with a 9.675, while sophomore Rachael Zelinski had another outstanding meet. Zelinski placed third in both the balance beam (9.650) and and the floor exercise (9.725).
The elder Jaworowicz also led the team on floor with a 9.750.
Iowa was paced by Liz Grajewski, who won the floor exercise and placed second in the all-around competition.
UIC returns to action this Saturday, January 29th for a Midwest Independent clash with Southeast Missouri State in Cape Girardeau, Mo. at 7 p.m.
UIC 191.125, Iowa 190.325

JSP-based Web Source
Oracle Reports focuses heavily on Web publishing, moving more fully into its role as a universal publishing solution. In previous releases, OracleReports simply displayed paper reports in HTML for Web publishing. This served the purpose at the time: to move corporate data onto the Web.
To satisfy the needs of users, Oracle Reports introduces JavaServer Pages (JSPs) as the underlying technology to enable you to enhance Web pages with information retrieved using Reports Builder. You can create JSPs within Reports Builder using custom JSP tags, which integrate with the data model objects and are used to create the report.
Reports Builder allows you to open an existing HTML document (Web page) or use an HTML template file to embed the report within your existing Web page. This provides tremendous flexibility in creating reports that meet the demands of completely integrating multiple sources of information (even other reports built within Oracle Reports) within a single Web page.
By using JSP technology, Oracle Reports enables you to easily provide dynamic reports to a variety of destinations that use JSPs, such as handheld devices and OracleAS Portal. By using JSPs, screen readers, such as JAWS, can access the code.

Kristin blogs at Goodwill and Grace. She found this upholstered parsons chair on the side of the road last summer. A recent snow day this year was the perfect opportunity to give the chair a new look.
Even though removing the old upholstery staples was a pain, Kristin was able to get the old fabric off the chair and use the pieces as a template to cut out the new fabric. Figuring out that chair came apart into two pieces also made this project easier. Before the snow day was over, Kristin had reupholstered the chair in a fresh, fun gray and white chevron stripe. It looks great!
You can find out more about this project (and read Kristin's hilarious commentary) at Goodwill and Grace.

Adding music to any routine can not only keep you motivated, it can lift your spirits and help keep you focused on the activity at hand. But can it really improve your workout?
Celebrate great health! LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook!
Fast music, especially, provides us more information to process, which may distract someone from the physical sensations of fatigue and block signals to stop exercising.
But not all fast songs do that.
If the music is too fast, it isn't likely to enhance performance or endurance, says Costas Karageorghis, PhD, deputy head of sports psychology at Brunel University. He has studied the effects of music on exercise for more than 20 years.
Studies show there is a sweet spot, in terms of tempo, between 120 and 140 beats per minute. Beyond that, it doesn't improve enjoyment or any other psychological variable while exercising.
That's also true if you're working out at a very intense level, or about 70%-80% of your aerobic capacity. In fact, for most elite athletes, music only has a small effect on performance. That's because most athletes already have excellent focus when it comes to regulating their movements and reaching a particular goal. Music may be too distracting and even hinder performance for some professional athletes.
But for the average person who exercises at a moderate level a few days a week, music can and does enhance working out. Unlike athletes who train for a living, most people actively seek distractions while working out. Listening to music may ease the boredom they associate with exercising.
Music can help you to tolerate exercise, and may even motivate you to work out more often.

I have a Satellite Pro laptop. During the past few weeks, it keeps freezing & running slow on startup or when I surf the Internet. I cleaned out all unnecessary files on my computer, and it seems to freeze all the time especially when I am watching YouTube videos. Well, it freezes to the point where I have to un-plug the laptop and plug it back in constantly. I know this does no good to my computer, but I have to do like that way. Any ideas what to do to speed up my Toshiba Satellite?
Thanks for submitting this Toshiba slow question. You will soon know the reasons and solutions behind your computer freezing by reading this!
One of most possible reasons for the frequent tendency of computer freezing up is that the PC overheats. One can try to identify this cause by ensuring that the fan of the computer is working properly. If you are operating properly, but the Toshiba overheats, just take the laptop outside with you to a cooler place to see if its performance improves. Note: it is recommended to get cooler pads can also prevent such overheating. You can also learn more from this article for how to prevent your computer from overheating.
If overheating is not the issue, probably your notebook got a virus or malware\spyware. Hold ALT CRTL and press Delete to start taskmanager Look on the process tab to see if there anything using 100% CPU. Then try using Comodo Anti Virus and scan for spyware and other rogue software. Make sure you can update it and delete everything it finds.
There is a whole bunch of reason that your Toshiba Satellite is freezing, they are too long to list here. But if you want to solve the problem and stop asking yourself "why does my Toshiba keep freezing?" get yourself an easy free PC speed up software and let it automatically fixes everything for you. Don't worry; the program won't do anything on its own. You have to tell it what to do. It is so easy to use, sure anyone can do it.

3 Responses to My Toshiba Satellite Laptop Freezes & Runs Slow after Startup, Why?
Thanks ADMIN for the Toshiba laptop running slow fix solution!
Nice post about Toshiba laptop slow fix, the solution is great. I'll immediately snatch your rss feed. Thanks.
Anyway, it's a good computer, and i hope it continues to do me well for years to come, as I am a poor college student, and can't afford any costly inconveniences. I love my Toshiba.

Release Date: 2009-08-21 (NY)
Genre: Drama,
Rating: R
Duration: 2hrs 24min
Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the still fragile German democracy. The radicalized children of the Nazi generation led by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold. And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows he's only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.

|Takamatsu Yomeiri Ningyo; Clay Bridal Trousseau Dolls from Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, Shikoku Island. Set of 5 depicting auspicious images: Happy Couple, Dog, Rabbit, Ebisu with Tai (Sea Bream,) Dog with Tai. H. .75" to 1.125" (2cm-2.75cm) x W. .875" to 1.375" (2.25cm - 3.5cm;) painted clay, ca. 1972. Condition notes: .75cm paint chip on back of Ebisu, paint chipped away on fish of Dog with Tai figure. Others all in excellent condition. Takamatsu Yomeiri (Bride entering marriage) Ningyo (Dolls) have a long tradition in Kagawa Prefecture, being produced and used since the late Edo Perid (1600-1868.) As in most of Japan, a woman entering marriage leaves her home to enter that of her new husband's. The dolls, roughly made of clay and painted by local artisans, were brought by the bride to children of her new neighborhood or family and given as gifts. The images themselves were auspicious signs for a long, happy, & fertile marriage: a happy couple, a dog (easy childbirth,) rabbit (fertility,) Ebisu with Tai fish (God of Abundance, good harvest/fishing, etc with a Tai [a play on the word "omedetai" - congratulations],) and a Dog with Tai. The tradition conditinues today although children are much less likely to use them as actual toys. They are treasured as collectibles by the receiving family and still given in the same spirit of hope for a happy and fruitful marriage by the new bride.

Mow the lawn and take a daily walk around the castle, and you can stay for free near Thuré, France. Just feed the cats, and you can have a two-month break in the mountains near Barcelona, Spain. Or how about a few weeks in a cottage on the wild west coast of Ireland in return for keeping the vegetable plot tidy?
These are just some of the genuine offers of free accommodation you can take advantage of when you housesit.
From Singapore to Sydney, Athens to Auckland, hundreds of opportunities exist for travel to exotic places, without paying for accommodation. Just take care of the morning paper, the pets, or the garden and you can stay in homes when the owners are away…at no cost.
55-year-old Mike Hopkins is a veteran house-sitter who loves the Caribbean. He says he saved $3,000 on the costs of accommodation while on Caribbean island of Antigua, house-sitting for a month in a home that was on the market for $1.5 million. During another four-month sit on the eastern coast of the island, Mike maintained a pool and in return saved around $8,000 in costs.
To increase the chances you'll land a gig like that, position yourself like a pro. Here's how –
Create an online ad: A number of websites have popped up where house sitters advertise their availability and homeowners express their need for a sitter. Two of the most popular are HouseCarers.com and MindMyHouse.com. Basic registration on House Carers is free. But I suggest signing up for premium membership ($50), which gives your ad more visibility and allows you to upload photos. An ad on Mind My House costs $20.
Think about your ad as if it were a job interview. List your experience taking care of a home, be it your own or someone else's. Outline your time availability. Mention what types of pets you're comfortable taking care of. And most importantly, be positive. Don't start your ad saying, "I don't have any house-sitting experience…." Instead, focus on the benefits you bring to the table. Homeowners are trusting you with their most valuable asset. Make sure you paint yourself as serious, qualified and professional.
Subscribe to Caretaker Gazette: Published since 1983, this newsletter is the old daddy of the house-sitting scene. A yearly subscription costs $29.95, which includes a bi-monthly newsletter with house-sitting opportunities around the world. You also receive email listings of new opportunities when homeowners need a sitter quickly.
Provide references: Get references together before you start your search. These can be from friends, colleagues, or landlords. Ever house-sat before? If so, ask that person to write a reference. Other people vouching for you increases credibility and heightens the chances of landing a gig.
Police background check: Along with a reference, a police background check is a good way to convince homeowners you can be trusted. This shows homeowners you're serious about house-sitting and not just dreaming of a free vacation. Processing a background check takes about one week. Head to your local police department for more information.
Build a house-sitter website: In addition to an ad, an easy way to increase your credibility is to make a website. In about 20 minutes and for $17, you can create a basic site with your own domain, thanks to a blogging platform called WordPress. On your site, describe your qualifications and references and provide a picture of yourself.
Contact homeowners: Once you've completed the steps above, begin the hunt for a house sit. A good place to start is by searching House Carers and Mind My House. Filter by the countries you're interested in visiting. Some homeowners prefer to find you, so not every available job will be listed. That said, my quick search revealed houses available in Normandy, Sydney, and Sicily.
Network with Facebook and email: Have friends abroad? Send an email and post to your Facebook wall asking if anyone's planning a trip in the foreseeable future. You might be pleasantly surprised that your friend in France has a three-week vacation coming up and is looking for someone to look after the cat.

"It always seems impossible when you start casting these parts, but when we saw Matt and Jenna together we knew we had our girl," Steven Moffat, executive producer and lead writer of the series, said. "She's funny and clever and exactly mad enough to step on board the TARDIS."
Plus, she's adorable! (Check out the pics below!)

Television is brimming with beautiful brunettes and breathtaking blondes, but red haired ladies are far less common thanks to stereotypes about creepy gingers and ugly red heads. However, that may soon change thanks to the lovely and talented Deborah Ann Woll (True Blood) and Karen Gillan (Doctor Who), two rising stars who are red hot.
