Hotel is bad and old. But have good location to city center and main train station.
Having red district neiberhood as Amsterdam.
Is Chinese hotel or what?!
Poor English language on reception.
Clean room.. can't say noting special but it is ok...
Very old and dated hotel. No basic facilities such as free wifi or an iron board. The staff have no idea of Frankfurt so could not provide basic directions or recommendations on where to go. Also lots of suspicious characters loiter outside and I was stopped on tow occasions but quickly I moved on. Would not recommend at all.
Ιt really looks better in the photos.
The atmosphere is gloomy and the hotel is very dated. The elevator and the corridors on every floor smell of kitchen (and not the pleasant smell of food being prepared). That's probably because there is a chinese restaurant at the bottom of the hotel. The colours on the walls and in the rooms...
Great location for main train station, messe, etc. Needle bank next door isn't pretty but causes no issues and red light district one street away, both can be avoided by a small detour depending on where you're going. Clean hotel and friendly staff. It's cheap and therefore be realistic with your expectations. Will stay there again if in the area
The location is awful, right next to a clean needle clinic and a bunch of strip clubs. It's not a place you want to be at night, it's filled with people injecting themselves and lying on the ground. The staff wasn't very friendly; the hotel was very old, creepy and horribly decorated. I didn't like the fact that they made...
It was close to the train station.
I would not recommend this to anyone. All documents and fire escape manuals were in Chinese. There were many bibles in the room and "Jesus will save us"-leaflets. Very creepy. Shower was very dirty, no bathroom supplies available. Overall, very poor.
I was booked into here at the last minute and given the low price during exhbition time I wasn't expecting much. The hotel is actually next door to a clean needle clinic and right in the middle of the Red Light District.
When I pitched up to the hotel about 6.30pm there were people lying on the street outside the...
I have just returned from a book fair in Frankfurt where I happened to book this hotel - mainly for its price and location as hotels are hideously expensive in Frankfurt during fair times. The area must be the worst in Frankfurt, no doubt, door to door with a methadone center with junkies all over the place and with very...
i had the same experience as Katrina Walton is explaining. A horrible experience as heroin is right outside. I had a business appointment that day and was suppose to prepare some papers. No WiFi in the room and no WiFi in the lobby either. I could not take off my shoes in the room as of the carpet. There is...
This was the worst place I have ever visited. I seriously cried the one night I had to stay there.
My friend and I booked this hotel via booking.com and did a terrible mistake of not overviewing the guests comments. The pictures looked nice.They showed large rooms, nicely furnished, free Internet, public parking.....very cheap and that was exactly what we...

Phoenix Suns
Suns guard Ish Smith: 'One thing people can't take away from us is our chemistry'
If ain't broke, don't fix it.
That's the road the Phoenix Suns' front office ultimately decided to go down during Thursday's trade deadline, much to the delight of their players.
While individually, the Suns have had plenty of bright spots this season — whether it be the maturation of Goran Dragic's offensive game, Gerald Green's three-point production or Miles Plumlee's growth as an everyday starter — they're in playoff contention at 32-21 for one reason and one reason alone.
Team chemistry.
It might be overstated at times, especially when a team finds success as Phoenix has so far in 2013-14, yet it's hard not to notice how much fun the Suns have had collectively this year.
It's an infectious trait — one general manager Ryan McDonough didn't seem all that inclined to mess with when push came to shove.
"I am happy [the team didn't make a move]," Suns back-up point guard Ish Smith told Arizona Sports 98.7 FM's Burns and Gambo Thursday. "I love every bit of our roster, everybody on our team, our organization, our staff. It's been tailor made, perfect so far. I guess boss man decided this was the best way to go. We agree with any decision he makes or has made in the past.
"I'm happy with it. We have to continue to keep doing what we're doing. Obviously, get better at a lot of things and turn it up."
While the addition of a rumored interior scorer like a Pau Gasol or Brandon Bass might have improved the team in the short term, Smith, who is 3.7 points and 2.3 assists per game this season, noted that it might have altered the personality of the locker room — a wrinkle that's not always for the better during a stretch run.
"The biggest thing with our team is chemistry," said Smith. "A lot of people might say, 'Talent-wise, they're not here or maybe they are and are just playing out of their minds' but one thing you can't take away from us is our chemistry.
"I don't know how it would have worked [if a player was added]. Obviously, we would have made it work out some way. But like I said, I think the front office decided this was the best way to go. We back up [McDonough] 100 percent."

NCP`s Goa unit stands by Pacheco
Panaji: Former Goa Tourism Minister Mickey
Pacheco, who is an accused in a case relating to the death of
his close friend Nadia Torrado, on Thursday received support from
his Nationalist Congress Party which alleged the case was
aimed at finishing him politically.
"They are trying to finish Mickey (Fransisco Pacheco) as
politically he is going strong in South Goa. This is an
attempt to finish Pacheco and NCP," party?s Goa spokesman
Avinash Bhonsle told agency.
He said the party would hear Pacheco before deciding
anything in this matter.
Former Tourism Minister has run into trouble over the
death of his 28-year-old friend with the police naming
Pacheco along with his close aide, Lyndon Monteiro, as an
accused in this case.
The party, however, said Pacheco should not run away from
the law.
"Of course, Pacheco cannot run away from investigation.
He has to appear before the investigating authorities,"
Bhonsle said, adding the legislator was exploring all the
legal means to secure his liberty.
The NCP spokesman claimed Pacheco had strengthened his
position in South Goa after he held a convention early this
year which was attended by party president Sharad Pawar.
Bhonsle said NGOs, which alleged Pacheco`s involvement
in the crime, also need to be investigated.
NCP Goa Unit acting President Carmo Pegado said Pacheco
resigned from the ministerial post on moral grounds.
"He is not proven guilty and hence there is no issue of
expelling him from the party," Pegado said responding to a
Pacheco, a three-time legislator from Benaulim
constituency, was a strong contender for NCP Goa chief?s post.
Sharad Pawar-led party has been scouting for a new
chief since Wilfred D?Souza quit the party.

Photographer Sues B.B. King's Estate over Alleged Unauthorized Use of Pics He Took of the Late Bluesman
A photojournalist named Glen Craig filed a copyright-infringement lawsuit Monday against the estate of B.B. King and other parties, alleging that his photos of the late blues legend have been used on album covers and promotional materials without permission for more than 40 years.
The lawsuit claims, "Craig photographed B.B. King in a series of photographs during his music tours" that were reproduced without authorization. Craig cited 44 examples of his work that allegedly were used without his permission. He is seeking damages of $150,000 per infringement, which adds up to well over $6 million.
The lawsuit also names King's record label, Universal Music Group, and KingSid Ventures film production company.
The influential guitarist died in May 2015 at the age of 89.

Gone with the Pope
Absurd sex and violence, over-the-top antihero gangsters, a distinct '70s style and a plot to kidnap the man whom Catholics believe to be God's ambassador on Earth and extort a dollar from each of the faithful - Gone with the Pope is perhaps the greatest film ever envisioned. (Okay, not really, but it's pretty fun.) Though singer/writer/actor Duke Mitchell made it nearly 25 years ago, several unfinished elements remained in storage in his garage apartment until several years after his 1981 death. Now, Grindhouse Releasing is finally introducing this masterpiece to the world. It's like the Godfather meets Tarantino meets Plan 9 From Outer Space - who could turn that down? 11:55 p.m. Friday and Saturday. River Oaks Theatre, 2009 West Gray.

LA JOLLA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/09/12 -- After successfully launching an SBA Division earlier this year, San Diego Private Bank has been awarded Preferred Lender Program (PLP) status by the SBA. The Small Business Administration guarantees a portion of bank loans made to qualified borrowers for up to $5 million at attractive rates and on attractive terms in order to add jobs and stimulate economic growth. PLP status allows SDPB delegated authority to guarantee loans on behalf of the SBA thereby accelerating loan funding.
Michael T. Valenti, Senior Vice President-SBA Division Manager, commented: "From the outset, we structured the SBA division for excellence in client servicing, underwriting and processing, with the intention of building a leading SBA organization."
Valenti and Brian J. McClendon, Senior Vice President and SBA Division Sales Manager, joined SDPB in April 2012 to start the SBA Division. There are now nine experienced SBA bankers in the Division with over 150 years of cumulative SBA banking experience.
McClendon has big plans for expanding SBA loan activities. He indicated that "The division will be branded as 'Private Business Capital, a division of San Diego Private Bank,' as we operate in markets outside San Diego County." Currently SDPB is ranked eighth in the county in SBA loan production for 2012 and has begun operating in Orange County.
San Diego Private Bank is having a good year. Besides growth and profitability from the SBA division, its private banking business continues to thrive by providing clients with customized loan and deposit services. SDPB also embarked on a more extensive commercial lending program this year, providing competitive and customized commercial real estate loans, business working capital loans and other business loans based on superior client service and quick response. "Loans are at record levels and our Texas Ratio of 3% ranked SDPB in the top tier of California banks," said Joel Ewan, Chief Credit officer, highlighting the quality of the bank's assets.
Overall SDPB staff has grown by over 60% this year and the bank has increased productivity and client service through the implementation of a number of new systems and leading edge technology.
San Diego Private Bank is a client centric bank providing superior customized financial solutions and unparalleled service through access to experienced Private Bankers 24/7. While San Diego Private Bank operates a full-service office in La Jolla, California and a loan production office in San Marcos, California, it is the convenience of bankers meeting clients at their homes and businesses to conduct transactions that results in truly long-term respectful and appreciative banker-client relationships. Confidentiality, creativity and convenience are cornerstones of a Distinctly Different service model.
This press release may include forward-looking statements that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. San Diego Private Bank cautions readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include economic conditions and competition in the geographic and business areas in which San Diego Private Bank operates, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, legislation and government regulation. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and we undertake no obligation to update those statements whether as a result of changes in underlying factors, new information, future events or otherwise.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AARP Foundation today announced it has established a relief fund to support older adults suffering from the severe cold weather that has gripped much of the nation. AARP and its members are committed to helping those in need; so to support these emergency relief efforts AARP and AARP Foundation will match dollar-for-dollar contributions up to $250,000, which could mean up to $500,000 in aid. The matching program will be administered through AARP Foundation.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20070209/NYF043LOGO)
The extreme weather, including record-breaking low temperatures and wind chill, could lead to a crisis for many older adults unless we act now. "Many seniors who struggle with a limited income may face difficult choices in the weeks to come," said Lisa Marsh Ryerson, AARP Foundation President. For those older adults who are already living on the brink of survival, the increased heating costs and home repairs required to respond to this recent weather could push them over the edge – with months of winter still ahead.
Ryerson continued, "AARP Foundation's efforts around winter relief offer AARP members and others who are concerned, a way to contribute.
AARP Foundation will focus on states across the Northeast and Midwest and will work with the local AARP State offices to direct funds to organizations providing relief to the most in need.
An immediate response to this urgent appeal will allow AARP Foundation to expedite support to those who need it now. To donate to the relief efforts, please go to: www.aarp.org/disasterrelief.

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud. Without knowing the right questions to ask, you could wind up paying for capacity you'll never need or underestimating the resources required to run your applications.

FFC will help to accelerate Arcadia's growth and support the company's evolution of services, intellectual property and geographic expansion.
"Successful execution of healthcare reform is built on a foundation of electronic health records, information exchange and analytics. The next three years of healthcare IT stimulus programs will continue to accelerate the need for technology and services in support of this new paradigm," said John D. Halamka, MD, MS, Chief Information Officer, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, an Arcadia customer.
Carlos Ferrer, David Freeman and Ted Lundberg of FFC will join Arcadia's Board of Managers. In addition, Jim Crook, a healthcare IT industry veteran who was CEO of IDX Systems when it was sold to GE Healthcare for $1.2 billion, will also join the Board.

I am a recent graduate of Northwest University, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Contemporary Music Industry. I have played guitar for over 10 years and have taught for over 5 years, while teaching over 10 students. Since beginning to play guitar, I have done a lot of writing and learning about music. I have studied music theory for over 4 years and work as a sound tech in a few different venues. I have also performed in multiple venues and still perform from time to time.
I started playing drums in 5th grade and graduated from the University of Southern California in May 2008 with a degree in Music and a Business Minor. I studied privately under the direction of Peter Erskine, Will Kennedy, Terri Lyne Carrington, Ndugu Chancler, Gordon Campbell, Aaron Sefaty and Craig Thatcher. I have received awards from Modern Drummer Magazine as the top Undiscovered Drummer in the 18 and over category. In addition, I have placed nationally in the Guitar Center Drum Off multiple times. In Los Angeles, I was gigging and recording with my own band Vajra as well as stints with My Chemical Romance and Ashley Tisdale while touring nationally with other pop acts.
Love music, theater, recording arts. I currently write and produce and perform my own music.
With a great passion for music and even greater passion for teaching, I am a experienced and enthusiastic instructor who loves working students. In 2015, I graudated from the University of North Texas with a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance. During my undergraudate yeras, I earned merit scholarships, participated in orchestras, competitions, and recitals, attended prestigious music festivals, and played for some of the world's most renowned musicians, such as Charles Castleman, the Muir String Quartet, Danish String Quartet, and Vermeer String Quartet.
I am a patient and understanding instructor who loves to share my passion of music and love of instruents with whoever might so be interested. No degree yet but set on finishing it. Despite not having a degree I am very well educated in music. It has been my passion for 16 years and I have enjoyed my learning experiences. I can play any instrument handed to me and am very good at reading all music types. I hope to pass on my passion and love of the musical arts to many.

Once you've met with your teacher for your risk free trial lesson, continuing with Musika is easy! If you are satisfied with your lesson, all you have to do is register with us to continue! The trial will count as your first lesson if you continue, however, with our Great Match Guarantee™ if for any reason you decide not to continue then the trial is FREE. Go ahead give it a try, you really have nothing to lose.
Don't just take our word for it. We hold the highest possible A+ rating from the nations foremost online reliability source: The BBB. We are proud of this rating and value the message it carries. The BBB has affirmed Musika as a reliable, trustworthy, safe business to work with, and we have the customer feedback to support this. We are continually working to make sure that Musika is a business you can trust.
Background checks available on instructors. Instructor can opt to have a background check on file. You can request to only be connected with teachers that have a check. The choice is yours.
Musika offers an annual performance opportunity for all students through our spring recitals in May and June. Recitals are a great chance for young students to perform for the first time, more experienced students to show their skills, and even for adults to show their love of music! Musika students perform most often on piano and guitar, but we also have many singers, violinists, and even drummers - every instrument and style is welcome.
In home lessons are a convenient option for improving your musical skills, and are virtually the same in every aspect as lessons taught in a studio. Lessons are usually taught once a week and significant progress can be made in a short time. Of course, teachers will suggest that students practice every day for the best results.
The main benefit of taking music lessons is that they help instill a love of music! Students who take music lessons are much more likely to enjoy many different types of music, because greater understanding increases musical appreciation. Music lessons also have been shown to improve students academic performance, resulting in higher test scores in maths, sciences, and linguistics.
Musika understands that students want to feel safe before having a teacher come into their home, or before going to a teachers studio. Therefore, Musika hand screens all teachers and performs background checks using Intellicorp, a leading provider of screening solutions.
Your introductory lesson is a chance for you to meet your teacher, and ask any questions you have before committing to registering for lessons. Only after you have decided to continue with your teacher would you provide any billing information for Musika. This trial lesson is a great time to discuss your current skill level and goals so the teacher will be able to work out a customized lesson plan for you.
Review by Suzette
She is amazing! My daughter, Isabella (7 yrs) is totally engaged in the lesson. Lilly's definitely has a gift with teaching young children!!! A great talent of hers is making the content interesting, current to today's music and most of all fun! She has a knack for taking the material and translating it in a way that is relatable to Isabella. My daughter really enjoys her lesson's and has moved along rather quickly with the material. Thanks Lilly!
Review by Gisellesoldati
Cory is simply the greatest instructor ever! His 30 year plus teaching experience along with his knowledge of ever longer in music composition and performance make a real difference if you're in for learning the right way. Thank you Cory for teaching me not only the chords but also the history behind it and awesome tricks on getting better faster ;)
Review by Timothyfullard
We've only had a few lessons with Elisa, but so far we really like her. She has a lot of great suggestions for solo pieces as well as orchestral music that involves all 3 of my boys, while also including some Christian music that we can play at church. She is very patient in explaining the lessons and encouraging!
Review by Jennifer
Dave is a fantastic teacher. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to students that I think is invaluable. At the same time, this does not limit him from working with beginning students. He is very communicative with the parents as far as schedule changes. We are so grateful to have found him!!
Review by Julie Buranelli
My daughter really enjoys her lessons with Pavel. She is an absolute beginner and Pavel is right with her as she learns the basics. She is completely engaged and always looks forward to her lesson. He packs a lot of learning into their 30 minute time slot - he gets right to it as soon as he walks in the door! He is a great teacher - we highly recommend!
Review by Maureen Young
"Lynn has taught my daughter guitar for 9 years. She has always managed to keep her engaged and provide an exceptional learning experience. She tailors the lesson specifically to the student's interests and abilities. She provides many opportunities for students to showcase their talents outside of lessons. We love working with Lynn." Maureen Young, Dir. of Finance, Aug 2015
Review by Paula Chacon
I've always said, "It's all about the teacher." That skillful, effective teacher who can reach that child and ignite her passion, is truly a gift. Ric does that for my daughter. As a former music teacher myself, the most challenging thing in working with children is how to build their fundamental musical skills while letting them have fun and be expressive. The teacher must create a safe, supportive environment, and Ric does that. Ric immediately focuses on fundamentals of tone and technique, giving my daughter succinct instruction on how to improve, thus she can sense the improvement immediately. Ric seems extremely easy going; even when lighting a fire under her sometimes under-achieving butt, Ric never criticizes, judges or blames. He works with my child, understanding her, helping her problem solve, and even giving her the quick answer sometimes so she can move quickly and stay motivated. Ric balances fundamentals with fun and expressiveness, so my child feels as though she can 'play' and they truly make music in every lesson. I am thankful we found a good match with Ric.
Review by Jane A.
I started taking voice lessons from Ali when I was 19 and a sophomore in college. Though I was hesitant to be starting "late", I felt very comfortable with Ali and her teaching style. We identified several key issues that really made a difference and improved my voice technique. It was fun to sing popular, beautiful songs in our recital! If only I lived in Los Angeles, I would still be a student. Highly recommended!
Review by Howard
We value Chelsea for the quality of her lessons, but also for the flexibility of her schedule. She has worked around family vacations, impromptu summer camps and the upcoming school year. Emily is better prepared to start middle school band this year due to flute lessons from Chelsea and we plan to continue the lessons for the foreseeable future.

why is this?

Respected members
it's simple
This explanation in the form of a question and answer
Q: Science tells us that whatever one eats has an effect on ones behaviour. Why does then Islam allow Muslims to eat non-vegetarian food, since eating of animals could make a person violent?
A: 1. Only eating of herbivorous animals is allowed by Islam. I agree that, what a person eats has an effect on his behaviour. This is one of the reasons why Islam prohibits the eating of carnivorous animals like lions, tigers, leopards, etc. who are violent and ferocious. The consumption of the meat of such animals would probably make a person violent and ferocious. Islam only allows the eating of herbivorous animals like goats, cattle, sheep, etc. that are peaceful and docile. We Muslims eat peaceful and docile animals because we are peace loving and non-violent people.
2. The Quran says Prophet prohibits what is bad
The Quran says: The Prophet commands them what is just and prohibits what is evil. He allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them what is bad (and impure), [Al-Araf 7: 157]
So take what the Messenger assigns to you and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you. [Al-Hashr 59: 7]
For a Muslim, the Prophets statement is sufficient to convince him that Allah does not wish humans to eat some kinds of meat while allowing some other kinds.
3. Hadith prohibiting eating of carnivorous animals
According to various authentic Ahaadith narrated in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim including hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas in Sahih Muslim, Book of hunting and slaughter, Hadith No. 4752 and Sunan Ibn-i-Majah chapter 13 Hadith no. 3232 to 3234, the Holy Prophet (Pbuh) prohibited the eating of:
(I) Wild animals with canine teeth, i.e. meat eating carnivorous animals. These are animals belonging to the cat families such as lions, tigers, cats, dogs, wolfs, hyenas, etc.
(Ii) Certain rodents like mice, rats, rabbits with claws, etc.
(Iii) Certain reptiles like snakes, alligators, etc.
(Iv) Birds of prey with talons or claws, like vultures, eagle, crows, owl, etc.

On school days, your growing students need breakfast in a hurry. A registered dietician offers these 4 quick breakfast ideas for kids, including a choco-nana smoothie, yogurt & fruit cup, PB sandwich, and frozen egg & cheese burrito. Each of these you can throw together in minutes and send with your child on his or her way out the door.
Blend one container of nonfat vanilla yogurt with ½ cup lowfat milk, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, ½ banana sliced, ½ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon ground flax seed, and six ice cubes. Makes two servings. For extra fiber and a bubble tea-like effect, add 1 teaspoon chia seeds.
Top a container of nonfat or low-fat plain yogurt with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkling of granola, and chopped fresh fruit (quick tip: chop the fruit the night before so you can throw everything together and go).
Make a nut butter sandwich with two slices of whole grain toast or English muffin and sliced berries or bananas.
Cook scrambled eggs with bell peppers, and add the cooked eggs plus a little salsa and shredded reduced-fat cheese to a whole-wheat tortilla. Roll it up, wrap in aluminum foil, and store in a freezer bag. When ready to eat, unwrap the burrito from the foil and wrap it in a loose paper towel. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, until hot.
