Historical Traveler Reviews The Whaler's Inn Mystic
Good location, small shower
Nice little place right in the middle of a nice little town. Good sized rooms and nice bed, plus a couch, but the shower is a deathtrap for somebody of bigger proportions.
Close to the drawbridge which is great, as you can watch the sailboats and million dollar yachts go under after walking just about a hundred feet down main street from the inn. A nice little park with a wooden boardwalk is very calm and relaxing while also being just one street over from the inn. Go to the ice cream place across the bridge called Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream, and then come back and watch the boats come through 40 minutes past every hour. By the way, if you like peanut butter get the chocolate peanut butter sundae at the ice cream place. There is so much peanut butter in it that you will choke on it.
The Inn also serves a simple continental breakfast but right next door is Tim Horton's donut shop. Diagonal from the Inn is S&P Oyster Company which is expensive despite less than stellar food. But the ambviance outside is very nice. They don't take reservations per se, but they will take your name over the phone for "priority seating", which I would suggest if you want outside by the drawbridge and you don't want to wait for 45 minutes.
Also within walking distance is the Mystic Seaport (didn't go in because the $17 admission price didn't seem worth it) and the famous Mystic Pizza, where Julia Roberts became a star.
Five minute drives include the legendary Little Kitchen breakfast establishment, Old Mistick Village (60 shops in a setup that makes it look like an old village), and the Mystic Aquarium which was great fun. You can even pay extra to play with the beluga whales and penguins if you want.
A good stay.
My wife and I spent the weekend at the Whaler's Inn. We had a good stay. The staff was pleasant and the rooms were clean and classy. The location of the Inn is terrific. We walked (about a 1.5 miles to the Mystic Aquarium and then stopped by the Mystic Seaport on our walk back to the Inn. The Seaport is only a ten minute walk from the Inn. The Inn staff has great restaurant tips. We tried two of the three restaurants they recommended and had terrific dinners. We will definitely return to the Whaler's Inn. We chose the Inn based on other Tripadvisor.com reviews. This was the second time we have used Tripadvisor.com to plan a trip and we could not have asked for better guidance on either trip.
Not much can be said to expound on PERFECT !!! Room was superbly clean, nicely remodeled, well furnished, bright & cheery. Staff was super. Location in town, but still quiet. Walking distance to almost everything in town. If going to Mystic just try it!!!
Nice place to stay ... with ok breakfast
It is a nice place, rooms very clean and location is great, parking on-site. Their attached restaurant Bravo Bravo was great too. Staff very friendly but couldn't answer question about shopping hours. For some reason Mystic likes to shut down shortly after 5PM even though the streets are still crowded and opening hours vary quite a lot. They also have magazines in every floor to take to your room and newspapers in the lobby. Free internet access, coffee/tea all day, and they offer free bikes to ride around.
Breakfast... was a bit dissapointing, no fruits, little freshness in their baked goods, felt like the food club variety. They did change from one day to the next but for the rates they charge $175/Queen they could do better when it comes to the breakfast
A Nice Place to Stay
Just got back from Mystic and our stay at the Whaler's Inn.
The inn is right next to the bridge in Downtown Mystic, so all the shops and restaurants are just outside your door. The staff was very helpful with our questions. They gave us good bars to go to that had live bands and called the Flood Tide restaurant to make dinner reservations for us.
The layout of rooms are different for each of the three Whaler Inn buildings. Our's was large and clean. The only downside was the very soft and uncomfortable bed. I would also recommend bringing your own shower soap and shampoo as the ones provided by the inn are not the best quality (makes your skin very dry).
The continental breakfast consisted of coffee and tea (nice selection), cereals, bagels (not freshly made, but still good quality), muffins, and other assorted danishes. Unfortunately, they serve it from 7 to 9, so for us we were rushing to make it. They do have enough for everyone because even though we may have been last, there were still some for us.
It is a short drive to the Aquarium and the attractions in that area.
Would recommend this inn if you are looking for a good place to stay in the middle of Downtown Mystic.
Another plus vote for the Whaler's Inn
My room was clean and a good size - and very comfortable. I would add my praise for the helpful and friendly staff - for instance the receptionist helped organise a taxi to rescue me from Mystic Acquarium after I'd walked there (just over a mile I think), but it had started to rain heavily.
The only minus was a rather eccentric shower - I got some hot water eventually, but it took a while!
Loved the Whaler's Inn at Mystic
We just returned from our visit to Mystic Conn and we stayed at the Whaler's Inn Luxury Suite. It was a fantastic room and very comfortable and everything was very clean. There was a small problem in one of the rooms on our last night and they took care of the problem without any difficulties what so ever. The staff there was very accommodating and helpful and had a smile and a hello everytime we saw them no matter what time of the day it was.
The only problem I saw with the lux room was that the jacuzzi tub shower head needed to be placed somewhat differently so you can get a shower more easily. But other than that everything was very nice and we would stay there again.
Home Away from Home
I have just return from a weekend stay at the Whalers Inn. It was great. The room was very nicely decorated and very clean. I felt like I was at home. The staff was great. They were very friendly and helpful. When my stay was over I did not want leave . I really enjoyed my stay and next time I going to take a longer vacation
Enjoyed it thoroughly!
When calling for information on the hotel the staff was VERY friendly!
When we arrived, early (4 hours early) we helped ourselves to coffee and juice.
Our room was so cute! Beautiful beds with homey comforters and lots and lots of pillows! I really wanted to just sit on the porch and watch the people go by.
My mother addressed: "They need a bigger dresser for those wishing to stay longer than a day."
They offered discounted tickets to local attractions. You get access to Mystic's YMCA. We did go to the Y's beach. The water was icky, but there was a playground for my 2 year old.
You can walk to Mystic from the hotel. It a very nice stay.
A nice, homey place to stay
We have stayed at the Whaler's Inn a number of times and have never been dissappointed. The rooms are pleasant, the staff friendly. The Inn is right in the middle of Mystic, within walking distance of everything. It sure beats the chain hotels!

This is the text of a sermon I preached for my seminary Introduction to Preaching class this fall. It is meant to reflect David Buttrick's Moves and Structures approach to preaching. There are some things I like about Buttrick's approach, but there are also some things that I struggle with when trying to use it.
The preacher stands at the front of the church and holds aloft two golden bands. There in front of him, the couple stands. Young. Smiling. Hand in hand with hearts in their throats and tears of joy glistening in their eyes.
O Lord, the pastor says, bless the giving of these rings that they who wear them may live in your peace and continue in your favor all the days of their life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The rings they exchange are perfect circles, indicating an eternal and never-ending promise. They shimmer with precious beauty in the lights of the church. And when the best man hands them to the pastor, they are hard and cold, awaiting the warmth of flesh. Although we do not often pause to reflect on the hardness of the rings and the coldness of the bare metal, this day we are invited to do so because of this simple truth, brothers and sisters: Our hearts are hard. Our hearts are cold as a stone hidden in the dark of the earth. Our hearts drift like lonely asteroids through the black silent void. Continue reading "A sermon on divorce – Mark 10:2-16"

Hornets regaining form at season's mid-point
Published: Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 8:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 8:16 p.m.
WESTWEGO — Monty Williams sometimes finds himself cutting short celebratory locker room chatter after impressive wins such as the ones New Orleans had over Denver and Orlando this week.
The rookie coach has already seen what a little complacency can do to the current edition of the New Orleans Hornets, and it worries him.
"You know, you beat a team like Orlando, and to me, it's natural to think that you've moved into the upper echelon of teams," Williams said after practice on Thursday, as the Hornets prepared to travel to Houston for a contest against the Rockets on Friday night. "I was the first one to tell the guys that we're not that kind of team. ... To approach that level, we have to have a role player's mentality and we have to have it all the time."
Hornets coaches sensed their team got a little soft after a surprising 11-1 start that included wins over San Antonio, Miami and Dallas. What came next was a 3-9 swoon. The Hornets have been better in their past 15 games, though, winning nine times in that span.
They've been buoyed by defense and rebounding. They've equaled or exceeded 12 of their last 15 opponents in rebounds and held eight of those opponents below 90 points. Meanwhile, four Hornets starters have averaged double-figure scoring during that stretch. David West has averaged 17.9 points, followed by Paul (17.5), Okafor (12.9) and Ariza (10.8).
The surge in wins gave New Orleans (23-16) the sixth-best record in the Western Conference heading into Thursday night's games, and the Hornets play their next four games against teams with losing records: Houston, Toronto, Charlotte and Memphis. There's a clear opportunity to enter the second half of the season firmly in playoff contention, but Williams warns that will only happen if the Hornets don't treat upcoming opponents like losing teams.
"The test for us is winning a game like (the one against Orlando) and then having the same sense of urgency if not more going into these next games," Williams said. "We've done some good things and I'm not going to sit her and front like a fake humility thing ... but I can't allow myself or allow the team to start thinking about anything we've done because it doesn't mean anything."
The Hornets' latest victory on Wednesday was among their most impressive. Orlando came in on a nine-game winning streak during which they'd averaged more than 107 points per game and double-digit victory margins.
The Hornets led throughout the second half, and after blowing a seven-point lead in the final minute, regrouped to win 92-89 in overtime.
It was one of the best defensive performances of the season for New Orleans, which came in already ranked second in the NBA with fewer than 93 points allowed per game. Even with an extra five-minute period, Orlando could not get to 90.
The Magic managed only 39 percent shooting, and New Orleans is now holding opponents to 44.3 percent, which tied for eighth best in that category before Thursday's games.
"Those are really good numbers but it's something we can't be satisfied with because the problem we've had this year is we'll have a really good game like (Wednesday) night and then we'll go to Houston and not defend," said Hornets assistant coach Mike Malone, who Williams brought in to help him improve New Orleans' defense.
Malone previously held the title of defensive coordinator with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He and Williams share a similar defense-first approach to coaching, and it has made a difference for the Hornets, who allowed more than 103 points per game last season and missed the playoffs.
"We feel that if we can get teams in a half-court game to play against our set defense, we have a good chance because we have a good defensive system and philosophy in place," Malone said. "A lot of the credit goes to Monty. Since we took over, we preached defense from the first day."

The Truth About Social Work
What people think they know about social work is often a myth, according to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).
Contrary to popular belief, social workers are trained professionals who have bachelor's, master's or doctoral degrees –- they are not social services employees, caseworkers or volunteers. Only a fraction of social workers are employed in public or child welfare, and social workers are the nation's largest providers of mental health and therapy services.
"The diversity of roles for social workers is enormous," says Ruth W. Mayden, MSS, former president of the NASW and former dean of the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research at Bryn Mawr College in Philadelphia.
Social workers practice in a wide variety of settings, and their presence is constantly evolving. According to Mayden, five arenas in which the demand for social workers is growing are:
- Aging: As the population of elderly Americans explodes in coming decades, social workers with expertise in gerontology will keep busy. They'll provide counseling to seniors, help them maintain their independence at home, plan for future care and generally help improve their quality of life.
- Human Resources: Businesses hire occupational social workers to help manage on-site workplace conflict and to make workplaces safer and more family-friendly. A growing practice area for occupational social workers is in employee assistance programs.
- Schools: Social workers are often part of the interdisciplinary teams that school systems set up to help children with emotional, developmental or educational needs. Some schools now serve as community centers and offer classes and social services for adults, too, which is spurring further demand for school social workers.
- Healthcare: Social workers are vital members of the healthcare team in many hospitals and clinics. Licensed clinical social workers provide direct counseling services; other social workers serve as patient advocates by coordinating medical and emotional treatment, managing services a patient may require for recovery and planning for care after hospitalization.
- Institutional Giving: Corporations that place an emphasis on employee volunteerism and community service are hiring social workers to coordinate their efforts. Private foundations with money earmarked for community development also place a premium on social workers because of their inside knowledge of worthy causes.
Despite the diversity of settings, the common thread joining all social workers is their motivation, Mayden says. Social workers are part of a professional community "dedicated to social justice and empowerment," she explains. "It's not about the individual, but about how the individual can use his or her skills and talents to help other individuals or communities grow and thrive."
"As social workers, we view clients within their own environments," adds Miriam Oliensis-Torres, MSW, co-owner of Geriatric Support Associates in Milwaukee. "That's one of the things I like most about social work. We get to approach situations from a holistic perspective."
Would You Make a Good Social Worker?
According to veteran social workers Oliensis-Torres and Mayden, you'll succeed in the field if you have:
- The ability to accept (and not judge) people who are different from yourself.
- Patience and a sense of humor.
- An interest in the dynamics of interpersonal and organizational relationships.
- An interest in social policy.
- The capacity to be self-critical and always alert as to whether you're taking the proper steps on a client's behalf.
- Good listening skills.
- The ability to put situations in perspective, which will help you avoid burnout.

Its 3:16am here in Redmond... things are looking really good. Appreciate the feedback that has been sent - we have gone through all issues that were reported and validated fixes for any issues remaining. e just snuck outta here, Shreddy is still barkin' on the conference bridge, and I am thinking its time for me to get a quick nap. There will be folks monitoring the blog overnight, so again - any issues, please don't hesitate to post.
Thanks for your patience today, and here's to upcoming goodness!
Great, and I wanted the new Magic the Gathering XBLA game.
Yeah, the Saints Row 2 Unkut pack is missing as I'm sure other things are...
The 'My Xbox' page should use some Silverlight and allow us to scroll left and right on the 'Friends' and 'Recent Games' section.
sam and max 8007000b when trying to access from the game market place screen then 8007065d when trying to directly click on get trial here in uk
Strange behaviour of Xbox.com: When I am viewing any friend's profile page, it lists their most recent games played along with achievements and gamerscore for each. But if I click on any of the games, it goes to my own achievement listing for the game. That is not what I would expect. Shouldn't it really be going to the "Compare Achievements" page?
Some gamerpictures still arnt loading btw.
Forza Motorsport 2 auction house isn't functioning either. the forums on Forza & Xbox.com people are posting about the issue. just giving a heads up here.
Was downloading stuff from Marketplace, but now Live is down again and I can't get on. Sort it out.
It's not letting me download anything off of the marketplace, error code 80070000b, however the marketplace seems to be running about 100 times faster.
You guy's really have to learn to stop hanging the red "Mission Accompished" banner up next time you "complete" any maintenance.
It's been 5 hours - could you possibly get xbox live's downloads going again?
'Cause I aint saying "Thankyou, and goodnight" to you till then.
Still not seeing the Big Surf Island content.... or Magic for that matter... I don't mind to much but those were the 2 things i planned on getting this morning... and oddly, neither are available...
to all the 10 year old kids whinging above this post and im sure more to come below this post.. just quit it and bother someone else.
i praise the xbox live team for what they had to do, i work with servers every day and the amount of work that they would of had to do to upgrade all the sql servers and other stuff would of taken quite some time as i know sql server can be a bitch at times.
sure there may be a few issues after this massive upgrade to the network, but guess what guys, this blog is here for that reason, so we can help inform them of whats wrong so that they can fix it..
i just dont get some people, the xbox live team has done a great job, even the new xbox website update looks cool =)
so thanks from me and all my mates from here in sydney, aussie.. we at least understand how much effort went into the past 30-40 hours now.. not to mention all the pre-prepping for the update.
good work team, looking foward to seeing the new cool features in the next big dashboard update =)
Games for Windows LIVE marketplace client won't login and keeps returning this error:
"The remote server returned an error:
(400) Bad Request.
The new arcade releases Magic: The Gathering and Sam 'N Max: Season One can still not be downloaded from the XBL Marketplace.
When I try to get the Sam & Max demo I get error code 8007065d.
I don't see Magic: The Gathering or Rocket Riot at all.
Sam and Max gives an error code on trial and full versions.
Magic the Gathering isn't even showing up.
And.... the Lips free track page directs you to a list of songs that don't include......the free track..

|Guild of Copy Editors January 2012 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors January 2012 Backlog elimination drive! Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter.
45 people signed up for this drive this time; of these, 35 participated. This is similar to the number of editors who helped out in November. Thanks to all who participated! Barnstars will be distributed in the near future.
Progress report
Recent drives have been focusing on the oldest three months in the backlog. During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—July, August, and September 2010—from the queue, and there are less than 300 articles remaining from 2010. End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here.
When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy editing at this time for other reasons. The {{GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators.
Thank you for participating in the January 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy edit drive will be in March.

Good cleanser except that it stings eyes
Posted by Reviewer2434511 on Mar 12, 2012
I like this cleanser in that it is gentle on my skin and effective. However, if any of it gets in my eyes as is common when I'm washing it off, it burns them terribly. Will not purchase again because of this and don't understand why anything labeled 'sensitive' would have something in it that causes this reaction.
I love it for my sensitive skin.
Posted by Reviewer2582051 on Feb 14, 2012
My only complaint is that it doesn't last very long. I use it only at night and use Humphrey's Cleasing Milk in the morning. This way I can keep costs down.
Lovely guide to healthy skin

Posted by 5331312660623069502 on Oct 06, 2012
Oh no... I was quit expecting this item since I have been super duper hunting a nice cleansing milk which does remove whole makeup off and does not smell yuck. But, but but, unfortunately, this was not that good. First off, I thought even it was past the best-before date.. it was not tho. Also I got acne and reddish condition after use, so I have stopped using it now.. It seems kinda good product yet I din like it. I got a cleansing milk from Weleda, so will see how it goes...

This is the best Pokemon game they have made! The graphics and the Pokemon are a lot better. You still start off with Oshawott, Tepig and Snivy) (i chose Oshawott). They also still move like the first one, but they have different sprites (movements). Wi-fi is a good thing to have because there are more features (like GTS and there are special Pokemon you can get in events). Once again, great game, and a great Christmas present. Definetly a gift I recommend. There are also legendary Pokemon from other regions in this game. There are new challenges, and of course, White Kyurem!
This pokèmon White 2 version is in everyway from compatibility to it's friendly play-style and gorgeous sprites to even the New various in game
sounds; is far better than the previous pokèmon white version. The best pokèmon generation and geniusly creatived pokèmon game, thus far, taking my opinion and that's hands down.
Thanks for reading.
I have Played all of the Pokmon games Red,Blue , Gold, Silver, Ruby Safire, Emrald, Dimond, Perl, Platum, Black. Now I have Played white 2 and I love the graphics and the old and new Pokemon that it has. I am a (BIG POKEMON FAN)
This is a Christmas present for grandchildren and wanted to get it early. They really like Pokemon!
I have played this game 100 times. And this game will never get old to me.If you buy this game you wont be dissapointed.My favorite part is battling the new gym leaders.So buy the game and see for your self.
I've been a fan of Pokemon games for more than 10 years, and each game gets better and better, and Pokemon White 2 is no exception. The game takes place two years after Black and White, and the plot is as exciting and fresh as its predecessors. There's several new characters and places to explore. The game also adds many Pokemon from previous generations, a cool addition. Overall, I recommend this game for old(-er) and young Pokemon gamers.
This is totally worth buying. It's a very entertaining game and keeps you busy for a long time - you can't just breeze through it in a few days. Like other games from the Pokemon series, the plot is interesting and there are lots of things to do. Graphics are good too.
It was just like any other pokemon game. If it is your style of game, it will surely not dissappoint.
He loves pokemon so we ordered this game. It came very fast [2 days]. Would purchase again.
I purchased this game for my 9 year old. He absolutely loves it!
This game is super addicting, and worth every penny. :D
I bought this game for my grandson and he loves it.
I bought it for my 3DS it works great, it does look retro compared to the newer pokemon X & Y but, if you want to fill the pokedex it is a must. Nintendo Is releasing the Pokemon Bank dec 27th so I would buy this and transfer your pokemon into your new game. It is fun and really well done. I needed it to complete my Pokemon collection. I would recommend this game to any one who loves pokemon and wal mart's cheaper prices. Side note: It is probably one of the best pokemon stories ever.
I LOVE the game
glad I purchased it
I was a bit concerned there wouldn't be enough changes from Black/White to Black2/White2 to be worth buying and playing a new cartridge. I'm glad I was wrong! This game comes with a completely different storyline, new gyms, and (if you link it with your old BW cartridge) interaction with previous games. I did wait until it was on sale ($30 instead of $35), but I feel this game is worth the time and money invested.
My 10 year old son wanted this game for awhile. I called the local store and it was $12 more than the online price. We used my son's walmart giftcard that he got for his birthday to purchase this online. It's too bad that the local store won't price match what their own company sells online. The delivery was fast, within a week. I would use the site to store again.
The game is awesome, my little boy loves it! My only complaint is how long it took to ship to the store. I highly recommend having any item you buy online from Walmart delivered to your home, otherwise you will be waiting & waiting for it to arrive at the store.
Was cheaper then gamestop, got here faster then gamestop would have as well. 7+$ cheaper even with shipping costs. Good pokemon game, reminds me of older ones but would like to see older pokemons added back in moreso. This does get me ready for Pokemon X and Y though cannot wait :D
Pokemon's created alot of games and this one ranks VERY HIGH! Alot of fun, very challenging, new concept and more Pokemon to choose from. Great game - My daughter has all the Pokemon games, so she speaks from the players point of view. She's glad I purchased it, she loves it.

Humiliation is Not Prevention: New York City's Shaming of Teen Mothers
By Valentina Forte - Hernandez, Hamphire College
I walked into the Civil Liberties and Public Policy office one Wednesday to start my day of work when I saw a co-worker looking at a picture of a crying baby. Next to the baby were words that read, "Honestly mom…chances are he won't stay with you. What happens to me?" This image was one of several of New York City's new ads aimed at preventing teen pregnancy. These ads started to be displayed in bus shelters and on subways in early March, and as the child and grandchild of teen mothers I was outraged.

I have an extra 10-speed chain I would like to use with a 9-speed cassette on my mountain bike. Will this combination work ok?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The 10 speed chain is narrower and will work. Not ideal and the shifting might not be as crisp.
Since you have an extra chain you can use it, but if purchasing new I would get a 9 speed chain.

Mary was a midwife in the 1970's in the National Maternity Hospital in Holles Street. She worked in a ward called the "Inupta" ward which translates as "unmarried". She dealt with many young women who were unmarried and pregnant. Many of them had no family support and concealed their pregnancies.
A friend of Pius became pregnant 35 years ago at the age of 14. The baby was to be put up for adoption. In the end Pius and his wife decided to adopt the baby. He was struck by how the date of birth on the babies birth certificate was wrong. He knew because he was present at the birth.
Mary was listening to the stories about Philomena and Sean Ross Abbey. She was in Mount St Vincents. She remembers Philomena Lee. She tells Joe of her experiences there.
Geraldine was adopted as a child. After 14 years of searching she found her birth family. She was thrilled they welcome her with open arms. To be absolutely sure she did a DNA test and was devastated when it transpired they were not actually related. She is 55 and doesn't know who she is. She is back to square one. She talks to Joe about being an adoptee and how difficult it is to find out who you are. Eamon is also adopted. He describes adoptees as the living "disappeared".

An empirical analysis of fixed and mobile broadband diffusion
Broadband communications lie at the heart of the developing information society. Employing a logistic diffusion model, we analyze the factors that influence the diffusion of fixed and mobile broadband. We find that local loop unbundling, income, population density, education, and price are significant factors in fixed broadband diffusion. For mobile broadband services, multiple standardization policy and population density are the main factors affecting their initial diffusion. Our results also suggest that in many OECD countries, mobile broadband service is a complement to fixed broadband service.

My partner and I recently spent 7 nights at the Riad Assakina. The Riad itself is a beautifully rebuilt and restored building and wonderfully decorated - interior design is fabulous - Michele the owner sources real craftsmen and has all the lights etc made specifically for the Riad. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable. When we pulled up outside - we had no idea of the wonderful surprise that we would find behind the wrought iron gate which surrounds the front door, A huge welcoming smile from Hakim - who brought up a most welcome mint tea. The Riad is conveniently situated to the shops, palaces, and restaurants of the Medina. Afternoon tea and home made cake is provided between 4-5 which is very welcome after a day of bartering! The staff are absolutely wonderful - make you feel really welcome and their customer service is superb - so thank you to all of you - Hitchim, Hakim,Mereim, Naoual, Ibissam and Majouba and to the lovely owner Michele. We have recommended the Riad to our friends and look forward to returning.

I'm just installing Private! on a network of client development sites. The individual sites will be accessible only to their respective clients for review and collaboration until we're ready to go live. ...unfortunately, I've run into an issue within the first page of install instructions, which state that the site will be inaccessible to even the administrator until the access time is configured:
Under Users: "If you want to allow this user to access your Private! areas, edit this field to a date in the future." -- the date change will not save - and also, just in case, there is no explanation of what to do if it expires before you've re-set it.
I have WP version 3.1.3, with one sub-site so far, and I have no other plugins installed except the default akismet; I've tried setting the "future date" for both the super-admin and the admin user of the one sub-site.
Can anyone help out with this? Is there a method that's less complicated -- I simply want to restrict visibility of and access to individual sites within a network so that only users who I've authorized, via a login page, are able to view the site.

Land Securities Profit Climbs as Property Vacancies Drop
Land Securities Group Plc, the U.K.'s largest real estate investment trust, said full-year profit increased as the company secured tenants for empty properties. The shares rose the most in 16 months.
Net income rose to 533 million pounds ($810 million), or 68.1 pence a share, from 522.9 million pounds, or 67.4 pence, a year earlier, the London-based company said in a statement today. Adjusted net asset value climbed to 903 pence a share from 863 pence last year.
Land Securities has 8.7 million square feet (810,000 square meters) of offices and shops in London, where the value of income-producing properties rose 7.4 percent in the first quarter, according to Investment Property Databank Ltd. The company and Canary Wharf Group Plc are building an office tower nicknamed the Walkie-Talkie in the City of London district as well as offices and shops in the Victoria area to capture higher rents and values amid a shortage of space under development.
The Walkie-Talkie "is now 56 percent pre-let or in solicitors' hands, a year ahead of completion, demonstrating clear demand for the right space in the right location," Chief Executive Officer Robert Noel said in the statement. "Our relentless asset management has reduced voids even further."
Land Securities rose 5.4 percent in London trading, the biggest gain since January 2012. The shares closed at 985 pence, lifting this year's increase to 21 percent and giving the company a market value of 7.71 billion pounds.
Beat Estimates
The company's adjusted net asset value of 903 pence beat JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s estimates amid higher-than-expected profit from the development pipeline, analysts including Harm Meijer said in a note to investors. JPMorgan has a neutral rating on Land Securities.
The company sees more value in development than investment at this time because there are few competitors, Noel said today on a conference call.
"The development market for us at the moment is lower risk because very few people can do it," he said. "There such a lack of development finance. We don't really want to compete in the investment market because we can make so much more money in development."
Revenue rose to 736.6 million pounds from 671.5 million pounds a year earlier, the company said. Revenue profit, a pretax measure that excludes one-time items, fell 2.9 percent to 290.7 million pounds as asset sales reduced recurring income. Like-for-like vacancies fell to 2 percent from 2.8 percent.
Adjusted earnings per share declined 4.4 percent to 36.8 pence, exceeding the 35.8 pence average of 17 estimates in a Bloomberg survey.
A Land Securities and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board joint venture will begin developing a 768 million pound office and retail development in Victoria in June. The company and Frogmore Real Estate Partners Investment Management Ltd. in January won planning permission to build stores on London's Oxford Street, the U.K.'s busiest shopping strip.

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - Tar balls and rust-colored crude from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill were spotted in several locations along Florida's Panhandle, as the devastation appeared to move eastward.
A few dozen tar balls washed ashore on the sugar-sand beaches of
Panama City Beach, the farthest east oil has been reported in Florida.
And about 20 miles off Pensacola Beach, a ribbon of reddish oil mixed with seaweed and sea grass.
A black tip shark was spotted swimming through the toxic muck.
Meanwhile, Escambia County announced it has placed cleaning stations on the beaches where people can wash off oil.

#SkyGreece Craps out
Today Sky Greece announces via their website that they have ceased operations to and from Athens stranding countless passengers with no assistance what so ever. The message reads, "SkyGreece management regrets to announce that it must temporarily cease all operations…" What does SkyGreece expect passengers to do attempting to fly back from Greece at the peak of the peak season when there are absolutely no airline seats to be found? The airline if that is what you would like to call it goes on to say in their statement, "The Company expects to resume operations soon. Passengers should contact their travel agent to arrange for alternate travel and/or accommodations." For the full statement click here. At this juncture they expect people to call their travel agent, buy a new ticket and hope that the company refunds them their money in the future…good luck!
We have learned that a few days ago the airline asked all of its staff at both sales offices and airport locations to not come to work with no explanation what so ever thus ceasing all communications with passengers. Their social media pages were abruptly taken down, their toll free number simply advised that flights have been cancelled and then disconnected the call with no further information. In addition one of the principles was only reachable by his facebook page and after responding to a reporter requests for information deactivated his account. Click here for the Toronto SkyGreece Story. A great resource has popped up on Facebook and one should join for up to date information on this Greek Airline Crisis. Click Here to Join Sky Greece Trouble Group.
Yes airlines fail and as travelers we are at risk to be stranded when a company fails, but to not offer any support during this process is reprehensible.
Below we provide some resources/suggestions that may be able to assist you:
1- Air Passenger Rights Canada
4- NY Attorney General Complaints
Yes it is a nightmare if you are a passenger or have family that has been effected by this unfortunate situation, but remember to stay calm, rebook them to get home safely and then take the appropriate action to try and salvage any funds due you. It is also a good idea, to call your credit card and discuss the matter if you have used one to pay for the trip.

What is the maximum number of parameters passed to $in query in MongoDB?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
The query itself is a document . MongoDB limits document sizes (as of version 2.4.0+) to 16 MB.
Really, what you're doing with a find is:
where 'queryDoc' is something like:
To find the maximum number of values you can pass to an $in query, use the bsonsize command:
So, you can see that every additional integer is size 11 bytes. Not 11 bits, 11 BYTES. This is due to the way that BSON internally stores numbers as at least 64 bits each, plus the wrapper. This can be easily seen with:
So, no matter what the size of an individual number, it's the same bsonsize.
On to the Question Itself: How big is that query document?
Adding these up for a one field query with an $in clause, in pymongo, through the mongos javascript prompt, whatever, all yeild the same addition facts for the maximum size of an $in query:
So, Presuming you have a one-byte fieldname (the minimum, really), your maximum is:
THE ANSWER: 1,525,198 (That's 1.5 million. That's pretty big.)
Looks like there is no limitation.
I did a small test.
1) Collection A had - 1 Million simple JSON object {id:,name:}
2) In Collection B, I loaded reference ids of collection A till I got the following exception. I could insert a reference count of 450k of max.
3) I could send 450k of these ids as $in[id1...id450000] and pull the whole list of 450k ids from 1 Million objects in collection A.
Wow! this is more more more than enough for my application :D. MongoDB is really cool.
I think the limitation is just determined by the size of a BSONDocument. When you define a query, you can keep adding values into an $in clause up until you exceed the maximum document size. So how many values you can have in the clause depends on how big each value is (the smaller the size of each value, the more you can include in the $in clause).
In terms of performance, from what I've found, there is a "sweet spot" for the number of values in an $in clause. See my answer in this related question: Is it OK to query a MongoDB multiple times per request?
i.e. balancing number of values in $in clause vs number of queries sent. I'm mid way through a blog post on that to try and dive into more detail.
