Whatever a man's age, he can reduce it several years by putting a bright-colored flower in his buttonhole.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
Contributed by: Zaady
The very ink with which history is written is merely fluid prejudice.
The trouble isn't that there are too many fools, but that the lightning isn't distributed right.
"Fortune knocks at every man's door once in a life," but in a good many cases the man is in a neighboring saloon and does not hear her.
Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than on all other days of the year put together. This proves, by the numbers left in stock, that one Fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so.
It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.
Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.
There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and every eatable, drinkable, and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry.
The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like and do what you'd druther not.
Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run. Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis -- the Basics
In this article
What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick, fibrous band of tissue (''fascia'') that reaches from the heel to the toes, supporting the muscles and arch of the foot. When the plantar fascia is overly stretched, tiny tears can occur in its surface, causing inflammation and pain. While some people have attributed this type of pain to bony growths called heel spurs, it's now believed that heel spurs are a result of rather than a cause of the pain from plantar fasciitis.
What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?
A number of factors contribute to the condition. While men can get plantar fasciitis, it is more common in women. You're also more likely to suffer from this condition as you age or if you:
- Are overweight
- Take up a new form of exercise or suddenly increase the intensity of your exercise
- Are on your feet for several hours each day
- Tend to wear high-heeled shoes, and then switch abruptly to flat shoes
- Wear shoes that are worn out, with weak arch supports and thin soles
- Have flat feet or an unusually high arch
- Have legs of uneven lengths or an abnormal walk or foot position
- Have tight achilles tendons, or "heel cords"

MRes Global Political Economy: Transformations and Policy Analysis (delivered collaboratively with the University of Bristol)
Qualifications and durations
- Full-time MRes (1 year)
- Part-time MRes (2 years, allowing three months for the final dissertation*).
*At the discretion of the Director of Studies, part time students may be able to have an extension of three months (giving a total of six months for the dissertation and an overall total registration period of 27 months). Students extending into their 3rd academic year may be liable for a pro-rated continuation fee.
The Master of Research (MRes) in 'Global Political Economy: Transformations and Policy Analysis' trains doctoral students who can assess the impacts of globalisation both in the short run and longer term using new international data sources and comparative methods.
On completion of this programme, students will:
- have a deepened and interdisciplinary understanding of social science discourses and methods for analysing global processes of change both generally and in specified policy areas.
- be knowledgeable of key contributions to thinking about social, economic and political aspects of the planet as an interdependent social system.
- have an understanding of how global and national policy processes interact.
The programme aims to equip students for careers as professional researchers in either academic or non-academic environments, by developing core research skills. Students will be encouraged to review and critically evaluate approaches to research and their application, and to identify and investigate their own original research questions.
South West Doctoral Training Centre
This MRes is accredited by the Economics & Social Research Council (ESRC), specifically, as part of the larger South West Doctoral Training Centre (SWDTC). It is a collaborative, interdisciplinary programme, delivered by two universities (Bath and Bristol), building on the research strengths of each institution through the inclusion of collaborative units (delivered jointly by the two institutions).
The MRes can be taken as a course in its own right, or as part of the 1 + 3 (MRes + PhD) pathway, which includes further collaborative elements with the University of Bristol.
Given the interdisciplinary nature of this programme, successful graduates could proceed onto an MPhil or PhD in one of several areas/departments, specifically:
- Department of Economics
- Department of Education
- School of Management
- Department of Social & Policy Sciences
If applying for an MRes + PhD (the 1 + 3 programme) applicants should indicate on the Application Form, their preferred PhD route.
Progression from the MRes to the MPhil or PhD stage is dependent on achieving an acceptable level of achievement (typically an overall average of 60% on at least the taught component of the MRes).

Myrlie Evers-Williams, former NAACP chairman and widow of a civil rights leader, was named a National Freedom Award winner Thursday by the National Civil Rights Museum.
Her late husband, Medgar Evers, a native of Decatur, Miss., was named Mississippi field secretary for the NAACP in 1954 and was killed by a sniper in 1963. Through her persistence, Byron De La Beckwith was finally convicted of the slaying in 1994.
In 1995, Evers-Williams was named chairman of the NAACP and served three years.
After her husband's death, Evers-Williams earned a college degree in sociology. She ran for Congress in California and later founded the National Women's Political Caucus.

The Manly Sea Eagles scrum-half, who was man of the match in the NRL Grand Final last month, is one of seven changes made by coach Tim Sheens for Saturday night's group A match against Fiji at St Helens.
Cooper Cronk is expected to return for next week's final pool match against Ireland in Limerick but a place on the bench is a realistic target for Cherry-Evans, who won his only previous cap against Wales in a dead rubber during the 2011 Four Nations Series and watched the Kangaroos' opening 28-20 win over England from the stands at the Millennium Stadium.
"I'd be pretty confident in saying all of us sitting on the sidelines were disappointed not to be involved," he said. "We've got such a strong squad that everyone is more than capable of coming in and filling a spot.
"In the best teams the competition always has to be quite intense and on the training paddock it's always a good little rivalry.
"We are always testing ourselves against each other but, come game day, who ever Tim picks in the six and seven will do a more than capable job.
"I've been able to represent my country once before and it's been a couple of years now, so I'm really excited to be wearing the green and gold again this weekend against a very strong Fiji outfit."
Saturday night's match will be the first meeting of the two teams since the semi-finals of the 2008 World Cup and Cherry-Evans is expecting the Fijiians to put up stronger resistance than they did in that 52-0 defeat.
The Pacific Islanders opened the tournament with a confident 32-14 win over Ireland in Rochdale on Monday, with valuable contributions from former Kangaroos Petero Civoniceva, their new captain, and Akuila Uate, who scored a hat-trick of tries.
"Fiji are a very physical outfit," Cherry-Evans said. "We're preparing for a very physical match. Hopefully we can control the ball so they don't get too much of it."

Gopichand's Sahasam - Movie Preview
Chandrasekhar Yeleti is one of the rare Telugu film directors, who have enjoyed both commercial success and critical acclaim for their films. Four years after the release of his movie Prayanam (2009), the ace director is coming back with his next directorial venture Sahasam, which stars Gopichand and Taapsee Pannu in leads.
Like his film Aithe, Sahasam is also inspired by a cover story published in an English magazine. The story is about how people moved from Pakistan to India during partition and how they had to fight court cases for their properties. The film is set in two time periods. The story is about an ATM guard, who wants to become rich and the movie throws light on partition in flashback.
It took just 45 minutes to set a concept and the story for the movie Sahasam, but to expand it to two hours fifteen minutes was the biggest challenge for him. Finally, Chandrasekhar was successful in preparing a script for the film with his team of writers like Prashanth, Sumalatha, Radhakrishna, Radhika and Sandeep Gunnam.
Sahasam is an action adventure, which also throws light on the treasure hunt. The director says that many films in Telugu have dealt with treasure hunt. But his film stands out different from them. It is the personal story of the hero, who goes after his own treasures. Chandrasekhar is very well aware of Gopichand's target audience. Keeping all aspects in mind, he has moulded the character of the hero.
Continue to read Sahasam movie preview in the slideshow.

...continued, (page 2 of 2)
1UP: Wow.
GB: Yeah, it was a long, complicated past.
1UP: So, would it be accurate to say that Prey got caught sort of in the growing pains of learning how to build up a company?
GB: Yeah, that's exactly fair to say. Because a lot of the stuff, in hindsight, we should have done differently. It was just inexperience and growing pains, and I think it's fundamentally a bad idea to do two first-person shooters inside the same company anyway, because people get competitive and want to keep ideas and don't want to collaborate as much. There are just lots and lots of issues in dealing with multiple teams that we had to go through.
1UP: So the portal technology was pretty much the thing that everyone was talking about with Prey back in the day, right?
GB: Yes.
1UP: So, I thought it had come along later, but that was part of the core design.
GB: Yeah, that was partâ??well, it was part of the core design from when Paul and those guys took over. Because originally, like I said, the original Prey was really just more of a four- or five-month tech research project. I can't remember if that first version had portals in it or not, but I know the programmer at one point said, "Hey, I can do this new thing with portals," and Scott and I were like, "Yeah, that's really cool. Let's do this; we can do all these neat things with gameplay with it." But I don't thinkâ??I don't remember when that came along. I can't remember if the portals were on the first version, or if it was on the second version of the game.
1UP: So when you see what Human Head's doing with it now, does it really capture what you guys envisioned back then? What it's like comparing today's portals to 10 years ago's portals?
GB: It's pretty close; it's fundamentally the same stuff. We're all surprised that no one else really took that direction, because they're not really technically that hard to do. I know they got a lot of press from being like a whiz-bang cool thing back then, but technically, they just weren't too difficult to do, and there are some neat gameplay things you can do with it. But really, Human Head is pretty much just carrying on the torch and doing almost exactly what we were doing back then, and then expanding it into other areas with wall-walking and spirit walk and those kind of new things.
1UP: So back when you guys were doing the first engine, you got the portals and all that, I'm sure you must have been doing some other cool stuff with the engine techwise. I mean, at 3D Realms obviously, you guys wouldn't just bank it all on portals. What other stuffâ??what were people overlooking or what might we have forgotten from the old previews and stuff of what Prey was all about techwise?
GB: I'm trying to remember back then. Honestly, I think 90, 95 percent of it was all geared around portals and basically just large moving objects and those types of things. It wasn't really all that technically advancedâ??it just looked technically advanced because of the portal tricks. I don't think we wereâ??to be honest, I don't think we got to the point where we got to play a lot of gameplay, because the engine and stuff didn't really ever come online to where we could do things with it, so a lot of time was spent getting the portal stuff to work, and the additional gameplay we never really got a chance to work on and deal with because we just basically just ran out of time for what we were all willing to spend on a project.
1UP: So, when you guys started talking, then, more recently, about bringing it back, where did that start, I guess? Where did the idea of bringing it back start?
GB: Well, we had known the Human Head guys, just off and on, through just general talking to them and just meeting developers. And they released Rune, I guess, maybe in 2001. And that was through a gathering of developers who we were working with as well. And we thought Rune was a really high-quality project and just basically had liked the game and liked the guys. So we were thinking about doing a second project, and we were thinking of teams to work with, and what we wanted to do was we wanted to work outside, with external teams. We didn't want to grow any more internally, because we'd done that in the past with Prey and multiple teams, and we knew we didn't want to go that direction again. So it was pretty easy to basically contact those guys and see if they were interested in doing something. And once they were interested in doing something, it was pretty easy to find a project, because we had Prey sitting around that we thought had some neat ideas with it. And it was an IP that we owned that was just sitting there, so it was a natural jumping-off point to talk about and try and pursue.
1UP: What kind ofâ??so tell me about, like, what kind of feelings were you guys having when it actually started to come together, you're like: "Wow, we're going to bring Prey back"?
GB: It was a pretty fun time. We also were really close with the id guys through our past relationships, and that let us get the Doom 3 engine really, really early. I think we got it just a couple or three weeks after Raven did.
1UP: Wow.
GB: So we were officially the first external licensee for the Doom 3 engine. So once we saw Doom and we knew that the engine was visually cool, it was pretty easy to see the leap for adding portals in there and seeing it all come together. But yeah, it's very exciting, a couple years later, to see it all come together and actually be a game you can play and run around in. It definitely is fulfilling to see that.
1UP: Cool. And so I guess, like, an update: What do you expect, what do you hope for out of it all when it's done? What do you expect of Prey when it's wrapped up here in the next few months?
GB: Really, we're just hoping it's a fun game to play and that people enjoy playing it. I mean, it's a pretty cliché answer, but there's really no other way to say it. We're hoping to make a game that everybody likes, and we certainly like playing it, and really, we're just hoping that it can show that you can bring back a cool idea from 10 years ago and make a neat game out of it with completely different technology and a completely different theme.
1UP: You know, that's something you guys have gotten good at now, and that's kind of cool, because like you mentioned earlier, there's Rise of the Triad, and I remember that wellâ??there's a lot of people who, even if they don't know the game, know the personality or know the franchise by name, right? There's another game that you guys have that's upcoming; I think we all know about that one. So what kind of stuff did you learn; what were the challenges, you know, with Prey, of taking something that people had talked about and knew and were excited about, and then, you know, picking it up and starting it over and bringing it into the modern era?
GB: Well, I think what changed was, I think Duke 3D was kind of a lucky accident. We really made a game that we liked and that we wanted to play, and we did some things in there that worked out really well, but we weren't really sure why they worked. And Scott and Iâ??
1UP: [Laughs] Wait a minute. You did stuff that worked, but it was just a lucky accident?
GB: Well, within the game, the gameplay was all not an accident, but things like the name of the characterâ??we just knew it was a catchy name. We never knew why. We started reading lots and lots of business books and just basically started to piece together how to build an intellectual property by not quite so much luck, and basically give yourself a shot at it. We did so many things with Max Payne, working with Remedy and building up that IP, hopefully the same will happen here with Prey. You just kind of learn how to give yourself a better shot at creating a franchise rather than just taking a shot in the dark.
1UP: Valuable lessons that could be applied, say, to other games, maybe?
GB: Yeah, absolutely. It's all about building a franchise these days, because games cost so much money these days to make, and they take so long to make, that you hopefully want to make something that can at least live for a couple of sequels, maybe branch out into some other media or something. And that's generally hard to do without being really focused on characters or some unique kind of gameplay mechanics. That's really what it comes down to: Any game we design these days or are involved with these days, we try and just really have deep characters that you're going to care about, and some interesting gameplay mechanics that hopefully other games aren't gonna have, so you will at least appear fresh and interesting.
1UP: So what about Rise? Have you guys ever thought about playing with those guys again? Playing with that world?
GB: It hasn't really come up, but it's one of those things where, I mean, never say never.
1UP: Right.
GB: You know, we've been so busy on Duke Forever for so long that we can't really see past just finishing this game, but you never can tell when it's done, you know, what you want to work on next.
1UP: Wait, wait. You guys are working on Duke Forever?
GB: [Laughs] And ever and ever.
1UP: And when's that due out again?
GB: [Laughs] I think it'll be out when pigs fly. But it's definitely going well now. Things are together; we're in full production. We're basically just pulling all the pieces together and making the game out of it. There's a lot that's finished. All the guns are finished. Most of the creatures are finished. And as I said, we're just basically pulling it all together and trying to make it fun. We've kind of got all these disassociated elements that make up a game, and you put them together and things happen. And then you just tweak it and polish it until it's fun, and that's kind of the phase we're in now, just trying to make something that is really fun to play and interesting.
1UP: Hey, you know, that's awesome. I have to give you respect because with so many people out there saying stuff, it would be very easy to just, you know, pack it in or whatnot, and you guys have been resolute of, "This is going to be an awesome game. Just chill out." And I think that's fantastic.
GB: Oh, well, thanks.

i need to delete 14k posts in uncategorized category using mysql
i need to delete 14k posts in uncategorized category using mysql
So what's the problem?
I need a query that will delete all posts in the category Uncategorized...
I don't see a table in wp_posts that sets the category
Doing this in the admin will take forever...
BACKUP ANY DATA BEFOREHAND, and be prepared for a restore (just incase, i'm not making any guarantees).
Here's one suggested approach..
Run something like this in phpmyadmin.. (select your WP database first, else the query will fail saying DB not selected, etc..)
SELECT * FROM wp_posts p
JOIN wp_term_relationships r ON p.ID = r.object_id
JOIN wp_term_taxonomy tt ON r.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id
JOIN wp_term_taxonomy t ON tt.term_id = t.term_id
WHERE t.term_id = 2
Where 2 would be the ID for said category (change as appropriate). The result should get you all the posts that match your given category, once you have those listed, firstly look at the results, to see if you can spot any incorrect results..
If they're ok , use Phpmyadmin to delete them in bulk from the result set (select all, "with selected" -> drop (ie.delete))... you can set phpmyadmin to show more results if you like (i think 300 is the default)..
I'd say that's just a safer approach, as i can't vouch for how reliable any query i provide will be (i've no professional experience in MySQL - i learn by doing).
I'd write you a query, but i'd have to create a mass amount of posts just to test the queries, and honestly i've not got the patience to be running delete simulations right now, no offense intended... ( i've just cleaned the DB out after the last round of delete query testing i helped with ).
If you hold out, someone might offer a joined query for you, again though, be sure to backup your data, and be prepared to restore it just incase something does go wrong..
NOTE: If you have a copy of this install in a test environment i'll have a go writing one for you to test inside your test environment (cutting out my need to make lots of mock posts for testing the queries).

Gadget Watch: Electronic fork nags you on eating
AP Technology Writer
LAS VEGAS (AP) – If you've always wanted a fork that spies on your eating habits, you're in luck: A company has developed a utensil that records when you lift it to the mouth.
The electronic fork is one of the gadgets getting attention this week at the International CES in Las Vegas, an annual showcase of the latest TVs, computers and other consumer-electronic devices.
WHAT IT IS: The HAPIfork is a fork with a fat handle containing electronics and a battery. It's made by HapiIabs, which is based in the land of slow, languorous meals _ France.
HOW IT WORKS: The fork contains a motion sensor, so it can figure out when it's being lifted to the mouth. If it senses that you're eating too fast, it warns with you with a vibration and a blinking light. The company believes that using the fork 60 to 75 times during meals lasting from 20 to 30 minutes is ideal.
Between meals, you can connect the fork to a computer or phone and upload data on how fast you're eating, for long-term tracking.
The electronics are waterproof, so you can wash the fork in the sink. If you want to put it in the dishwasher, you have to remove the electronics first.
WHY YOU'D WANT IT: Nutritional experts recommend eating slowly because it takes about 20 minutes to start feeling full. If you eat fast, you may eat too much. The fork is also designed to space your forkfuls so that you have time to chew each one properly. It's like having your mom in a utensil!
WHAT IT DOESN'T DO: The fork has no clue about the nutritional content of your food or how big your forkfuls are. It can't tell if you're shoveling lard or stabbing peas individually.
AVAILABILITY: The company is launching a fundraising campaign for the fork in March on the group-fundraising site Kickstarter.com. Participants need to put down $99 for a fork, which is expected to ship around April or May. Those forks will connect to computers through USB cables.
Later this year, the company plans to start selling Bluetooth-enabled forks to the general public. No price was disclosed for that version.

Robert Cochran, from Bennington, an early settler in the eastern part, died in old age. He reared a family of ten children, all but one of whom located in the town. Robert, his second son, born in 1790, served in the war of 1812, resided here until 1840, then removed to the West, where he died in 1850. Samantha, one of thirteen children, born in 1808, still resides here.

ASIA-PACIFIC ISSUE; Hong Kong Is Humming Again
By MARK LANDLER
Published: April 16, 2000
NEARLY three years later, residents of this former British colony still get starry-eyed when they recall the rituals that marked Hong Kong's return to Chinese sovereignty on July 1, 1997: The stately transfer of power, the blazing fireworks, the lavish receptions and balls.
For Hong Kong, the handover, not the millennium, was its fin-de-siecle party. And the hangover that followed was worse than any Y2K bug.
But now, after two years of recession and hand-wringing about its future, Hong Kong has come out of its funk. The stock market is humming, business is booming and construction cranes once again swoop above the city's serrated skyline. Most tellingly, Hong Kong thumps with the percussion of pile-drivers pounding in foundations for the next generation of high-rise towers.
Hong Kong is also coming back to life as a destination for tourists. Visitor arrivals, which plunged from 11.7 million in 1996 to a low of 9.5 million in 1998, rebounded last year, to 10.7 million. The Hong Kong Tourist Association predicts arrivals will grow to 11.4 million this year. ''We have successfully put Hong Kong on the world map as a city of diverse attractions that offers great value for money,'' said Amy Chan, the association's executive director.
Ms. Chan's claim about value for money is debatable. Hong Kong remains one of the most expensive cities in Asia -- a room at the midrange Excelsior Hotel in Causeway Bay costs $175 -- though the rebound in the currencies of other Southeast Asian countries is closing the gap somewhat. And while this city of seven million does offer breathtaking sights -- natural and man-made -- its most talked-about new tourist attraction is still on the drawing board.
Last fall, the Walt Disney Company announced it would build a theme park in Hong Kong, its third outside the United States and second in Asia, after Tokyo Disneyland. The 311-acre park, to be built on Lantau Island west of Hong Kong, is not scheduled to open until 2005. But it has already become part of Hong Kong's marketing pitch: a cosmopolitan city, with Western flavor as well as Chinese characteristics.
If that sounds a bit all-encompassing, it may reflect Hong Kong's deeper struggle to fashion an identity after its reversion to China. The tourist association promotes Hong Kong as the ''City of Life,'' and lively it is. But the slogan seems a place-holder for a city still not sure of its new role.
In some matters, Hong Kong is clearly starting to put East above West. On New Year's Eve, for example, the local authorities, shunning the Western calendar, did not stage fireworks in Victoria Harbour, despite the pleas of harborfront hotels. Instead, the city sponsored a postmidnight horse race, which it proclaimed the first of the new millennium, at the Happy Valley Racecourse.
The following month, Hong Kong illuminated the harbor with fireworks for the Chinese New Year. The only other holiday that rates harbor pyrotechnics is Oct. 1, anniversary of the Communist takeover of China in 1949.
Yet Hong Kong does not wish to disappear into China either. English is still widely spoken here, although -- frustratingly -- not by cabdrivers. And the English street signs have not been taken down. From Connaught Road to Pedder Street, parts of Hong Kong still recall Mayfair more than mainland China.
The prospect of a Disneyland has aroused little debate, unlike in Paris, where it was derided as a cultural Chernobyl before opening in 1992. Aside from a token nod to Chinese food and festivals, Disney says its park will celebrate Mickey Mouse and evoke the Main Street ambience of its American parks. But that doesn't bother the residents, who are used to imported culture coexisting with their own.
Neither a crown colony nor merely a Chinese metropolis, Hong Kong is trying to be a bit of both. Indeed, it is attracting visitors for the same reasons it always did: its dual identity as a Western-style commercial center and a resolutely Chinese place. Wired with fiber optics but redolent of burning incense, Hong Kong remains the quintessential meeting point of East and West.
Most visitors arrive at the nearly two-year-old Hong Kong International Airport, itself an attraction. A soaring pterodactyl-like structure, built on reclaimed land west of the city, it is one of the last great engineering projects of the 20th century. After a glitch-ridden opening in July 1998, it now operates almost flawlessly. With flights to about 40 cities in mainland China, it is the largest gateway to China. And with more than 60 airlines serving 120 other cities, it is challenging Singapore's claim as the regional aviation hub.
Much of the airport's success is due to an express train that runs from the terminal to stations in Kowloon and Central Hong Kong. Passengers can check luggage and pick up a boarding pass in town; this arrangement has reduced airport lines and relieved much of the stress of traveling here.
Hotel rooms remain plentiful, from exotic Asian palaces to spartan guest houses. Among the most gilded are the Peninsula, which serves a glorious afternoon tea in its lobby near the waterfront in Kowloon, and the Mandarin Oriental, which holds court in a slightly faded building in Hong Kong's Central district.

TravelPod Member ReviewsSofitel Saigon Plaza Ho Chi Minh City
very central in district 1. opposite the US consulate
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
We stayed here on our last night in Vietnam after the end of our three and a half week trip. We'd really been looking forward to this stay, a bit of luxury for our last night, but were disappointed.
At check in we decided to go with the upgrade package which included breakfast, upgrade to next room level and access to the club lounge. It was a little bit extra than the cost of just breakfast itself so we decided why not.
We had a Superior room, Club Sofitel access, with city view on the seventeenth floor. Our room was spacious with a comfortable king size bed and good pillows. We had good city views. The bathroom was nice and modern, if not compact, with a good shower. Our room was furnished nicely with modern décor but just didn't feel luxurious. The furniture in the room could have been a lot better. There were a few large statement pieces, such as the huge wooden rocking chair and cage like pendant lights but I think it would have been more comfortable and a more practical use of space to have a small comfortable couch or arm chairs - the chair looked good but was uncomfortable. There was a huge empty space near the windows and a small table and chairs would have worked well here.
We were starving and went down to find the main restaurant was closed for renovations. Breakfast which is usually served here as well was instead served in a dated conference room. It would have been good if we had been advised of this when we checked in, but it was never mentioned, it took us a while to find where breakfast was. The food itself was good, with a good selection of western and eastern dishes, hot and cold selections and an egg station, however the atmosphere wasn't great. We did eat at their other restaurant L'Olivier and enjoyed our meals but these were on the pricier end of the scale and it would have been nice to have some selection in eating options. We would have considered room service too if there was sufficient space for us both to eat a meal in our room. One would have had to have eaten on the rocking chair, the other at the desk/counter, which wasn't practical.
The club lounge was a good inclusion and a nice place to have a drink and some complimentary nibbles. We didn't find the staff very accommodating. Although it was low season they spent time favouring other guests and we were pretty much left to fend for ourselves. We found the service throughout the hotel underwhelming.
Overall a disappointing stay and would stay elsewhere if we visit again.

We have arrived to a bustling rainy city crowded with scooters, mini bikes , and lots of traffic. So far we haven't been adventurous enough to go out on our own, so stayed at the hotel for massages and rest. Mark asked for a light massage, which he did not get!!!! Agony.....he also strained his back a bit lifting the luggage over and over again at the various check points at the airports! We are getting old....ð¢ð³ð«. Today we have our first breakfast with the group and a meeting before we take off on our morning tour of the city. I have a case of TD ( travelers diarrhea).....not so much fun!!! Have to be careful what we eat and drink! Time to go to breakfast.....more later

After a week of staying in adequate yet not luxurious accommodations all week on the bike trip, I rewarded myself with a little 5 star luxury. I checked in late at night after a short flight from Nha Trang. I was greeted by a message that the king sized bed I had requested would not be available and I would be switched to that room the following day. Clearly tired and somewhat frustrated, I requested a free breakfast to suffice for their mistake. Immediately, the manager was consulted and a king sized bed suddenly materialized. Not what I come to expect from 5 star accommodations.
That said, the staff was simply lovely at every point thereafter and even though the breakfast was less than expected as well, I was satisfied by my stay. If you're looking for 5 star luxury, however, I don't think this is the hotel to choose.

Historical Traveler Reviews Sofitel Saigon Plaza Ho Chi Minh City
Love it for $120/nite
We were there April'06. our hotel manager from Hoi An booked this hotel for us for $120 a nite including breakfast.
-great location
-awesome breakfast
-nice lobby
-great pool / view
We enjoyed being there.
fyi, The excursion desk in the lobby is very expensive; do not use them.
Excellent hotel
An excellent hotel with a very high standard of service. Fully recommend the Breakfasts though mini bar more expensive that other hotels in Vietnam. A good location, close to markets and sights.
Beautiful hotel - amazing pool!
Sofitel is a great hotel in saigon city! the lobby s beautiful -the rooms have wonderful touches and the roof top pool is amazing! perfect ion the city heat! we looked at the majestic and they had road works in front of the rooms -would be very noisy and a very noisy road. Great to visit but really glad we stayed at Sofitel. Got excellent rate on line. 2 big shops/ markets near by. $5 for taxi from airport.
15 min walk from ben thanh market -but only 5 minutes to the cathedral. a bit away from the action but the other hotels were as well and we quite liked this area over the river front..
Sofitel-not in the Red Light District
We have just returned from a trip to Vietnam and stayed in the Sofitel in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon). The hotel was much nicer than we expected; we had previously stayed at Sofitels in France which are on par with Holiday or Ramada Inns in the US. The most noteworthy feature of the Sofitel was the location-it was not in the Red Light District as most of the American based hotels are. We had no complaints about the service. The condition of the rooms and public areas were clean and taken care of. After a long day of business and sightseeing we always looked forward to spending afternoons at the rooftop pool. We would positively stay in the Sofitel again and have no reservations about recommending it.
The sofitel in saigon is part of the accor management group, a french company that owns and manages various hotels around europe and asia
In general this group can be relied upon for a great stay , however in this case somehow the organization completely lost its way
while it is listed as a five star hotel, the service, accomodations and general ambience is more reflective of three stars....Thus if they advertised it as such and charged accordingly I would be writing an entirely different review...
Rather than go into excruciating detail about every disappointment in the hotel I would just suggest that you can get alot more bang for your buck by going to the caravelle or the park hyatt
In sum, I hope that in the future the accor group takes greater interest in this hotel and its running and makes it into what it advertises
Nice hotel!
We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. It is a big hotel, busy with many business(wo)men. The rooms are very nice, not to big and the views are great. The pool on top is excellent. The staff is correct.
For vacation is the location of this hotel perfect, you can walk to every attraction except the chinatown part.
Lovely hotel
We had a lovely stay here. I usually choose an absolutely central location and upon arrival I thought it a bit far but it actually turned out to be only a five minute walk to the city centre and a couple of minutes to Saigon Plaza...a great supermarket and shopping market. Comfortable walking distance to Notre Dame Cathedral, Reunification Palace and Central Post Office. Even the Saigon River was a comfortable walk (if, like me, you enjoy walking). The hotel is on a broad, tree lined street and I really enjoyed being in this area. The buffet breakfast and dinner were superb and reasonably priced - even more so because we are members of the Accor Advantage Plus Club which entitled us to two for one meals. Service was impeccable throughout the hotel. Our room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with every amenity. I wouldn't say it was absolutely luxurious but I couldn't fault anything and the bed was super comfortable. We had a gorgeous view across the city to the river. The roof top pool is lovely and the service here too, was very good as was the meal we ate by the pool. If you want to be "walk out the door" close to the action and desire real luxury then check out the Caravelle or Sheraton, although I think these would be much more expensive and I would definitely be happy to stay at the Sofitel Plaza again.
Has potential...
My husband and I stayed at the Sofitel in HCMC in Jan 2005 and were somewhat disappointed with our stay. The rooms are very uniquely designed and quite nice, with slippers beside the bed and chocolates at night. Also, the breakfast buffet is truly divine with an amazingly large variety of food/dishes catering to HCMC's european, north american and asian clientele. However, beware the pool hotel: it was closed on both days of our stay for the entire afternoon and evening for "private" functions and this without any prior notice. We were not the only guests who complained and were met with a simple "Sorry" from the reception/concierge. Service was not quite what I would have expected from a hotel in this category and its location makes quite a long walk to most of the shopping/restaurants in District 1. Our preferred choice would be the Caravelle.

We arrived in Saigon mid afternoon on Tuesday after a 5 hour car trip. Our driver tried to drop us off at two different shopping centres before frustrated Sim got the GPS map out and directed him to the Sofitel.

As I mentioned before the amount of traffic and motorbikes in the city are hectic, so crossing the road takes Incredibly confidence. Sky's tips were to not wait for a gap as it will never come, just walk slowly across the road with confidence and the motorbikes will go around. We decided to get massages after the markets, which was awesome, but hilarious as they treated as like ragdolls, ...

I've taken a more flexible approach to the head's up display or HUD which is what kicked off this blog in the first place – using HUDs to interact in a space, both physical and virtual. HUDs are transparent, usually computer-based interfaces that present information (content, artifacts) without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints. Camera-enabled and touchscreed iPads, smartphones and other mobile devices are one way to see content overlaid on physical space, as well as become immersed in virtual worlds. HUDs aren't always virtual or computer-based. The content that humans can read, or interact with can come from being immersed in physical space, as well. This can come from the human experience of moving around and through physical (public, urban, etc.) spaces.
Jessica Koslow's Krump Dancers Reimagine Public Space is a great example of the evolution of performance in urban space.
The 818 Session (krump dance session) reimagines the use of this public space, which was created to facilitate capital and commerce, and transforms it into an opportunity for creative expression, emotional release and community building. The dancers, for a variety of reasons, including lack of money and available community space, do not have a more formal meeting place. This weekly performance ritual allows this dance community to gather and express themselves on open, safe ground.
Koslow notes the increased scarcity of public space where "less can be used for community interaction and play." Thus, dance and the space in which it is performed can "facilitate cross-cultural exposure, understanding and the sharing of ideas," resulting in the growth of South Los Angeles street dance into a global phenomenon. In this case, motion creates the content that is read or scanned by a person or a device (think: Dance Central with Kinect for Xbox). Razorfish's Surface Physics Illustrator (DaVinci) uses Kinect to track a user's' motions on screen to create and manipulate objects (artifacts). Imagine. The technology now exists to track and study performance in physical space using mobile devices. Graffiti, maker and other subcultures can use technology in ways that reveal specific effects of the urban environment.
Skateboarding in New York City is a singular experience. It is impossible not to feel the magnitude of the landscape, and with the city in constant motion, skateboarding is both exhilarating and extremely dangerous. – Streetwear
In my recent blog post for Art21, KAWS Passing Through the High Museum of Art, I noted KAWS' talking about his earlier experiences as a skateboarder/budding artist "passing through" public (urban) spaces; reading and creating graffiti tags, altered posters and billboards, etc. as part of another community of practice that is also global.
After waiting nearly six months my essay, Urban Metaphysics: Creating Game Layers on Top of the World, was published online via UCLA Mediascape. This was written before my more recent discoveries but it's the original idea based on my early analysis of street (urban) art production as a coherent, multidisciplinary topic of investigation that conceives of a relation between material and virtual domains and the evolving style of graffiti artists – i.e. Rammellzee, Doze Green, Futura, etc.
Of course I'm interested in newer forms of urban art and performance (krump, turf, etc.) – i.e. multiple modes of interaction and communication in urban space. It's great to see all of these threads interconnect and support my current research. At age 14 Futura came to my high school and taught me about spray can art (graffiti). The class worked on a mural commemorating mass transit. Later, as a undergraduate intern at Rutgers University I replicated the project with high school students.
Behind all this is the idea that urban life manifests as ritual performances, whether through dance or motion-based tagging and graffiti, and these performances are representations that can be passed on to future generations who build on the previous works. At the center of this organization is the maker/artist – whose brain contains a vast language – and the artifacts that are designed to mediate directly between her/him and the world. This representational system (world) is the next layer of development for culturally situated, multimodal interactions that construct meaning.

Photos: Manny Pacquiao Sparring Hard For Rios Clash
By James Goyder
Former eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao was sparring hard at the Wild Card Gym in Gen. Santos City. He put in several rounds with Filipino sparring partner Dan Nazareno Jr. and Ghanaian Frederick Lawson, then took part in the some padwork and then refereed a couple of sparring matches between members of the entourage. His brother Bobby Pacquiao got 30,000 pesos for winning his sparring bout, with the judges Michael Koncz and Gerry Penelosa.

I have added a custom field to my posts and have edited the code in single.php so that the custom field appears above my sidebar. You can see an example here: sample post.
The "Book Details" section is actually the custom field and everything below it is widgets in my sidebar. However, to get the "Book Details" section to look like the widgets I've used the following code:
float: right;
margin-right: 0%;
width: 204px;
margin: 0 0 2.2em;
background: #000;
padding: 20px;
border-style: solid !important;
border-color: #999999 !important;
border-width:2px !important;
font-size: 13px;
This, however, doesn't seem right. It looks right (visually speaking), except in mobile devises and I feel the float, margin, width are all very specific and not fluid like the widgets. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find the code or what I need to change so the custom field displays exactly like a widget would in the sidebar - the same, margin, width (without being specific), float, position, etc.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Nice sink - solid construction, nicely finished -- stainless looked to be of good quality - ultimately returned because of size -- i needed a bigger prep sink -- but this would be perfect for a bar or vanity sink. Would definitely consider buying it again for that application.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? very accurate representation
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good quality, nice finish
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? accurate
We have had the Stainless Steel sink for almost 2 years and still love it. It has held up great, with just a quick wipe down for cleaning. You definitely need a shorter counter for it to be easy to access especially for smaller people.

The 2016 Corolla exudes craftsmanship. The interior is stylish, functional and inviting, while displaying attention to detail not typically found on vehicles in Corolla's class. Ornamental stitching along the edge of the dash, pinstriped accents, and piano-black gloss trim with metallic ornamentation help to convey an upscale and sporty image.
Less is More
Rear seat passengers travel in comfort, thanks to slimmed down front seat backs that open up more leg room, a flatter floor for more foot room, and high density foam in the seat cushions – coupled with a more ergonomic hip point – that offer greater support and better positioning.
Climate Control
Corolla LE and S feature standard air conditioning (also available on CE). Corolla LE ECO is equipped with automatic air conditioning that enables you to select your desired temperature and let the system do the rest (also available on LE and S with Upgrade Packages). All models feature High Solar Energy-Absorbing (HSEA) glass that reduce the penetration of ultraviolet and infrared rays to help keep interior temperatures more comfortable, rear seat heater ducts for improved heat distribution and a dust, pollen and deodorizing cabin air filter that allows everyone to breathe easier.
Steering Wheel
All models include a 3-spoke tilt and telescopic steering wheel that enables you to customize the position of the wheel to suit your height and body type. Audio controls are mounted on the wheel for convenience. For a premium feel on Corolla S, the wheel is wrapped in leather.
Backup Camera
Standard on Corolla LE, S and LE ECO is a backup camera1. When reversing, it shows the area behind your Corolla that's visible to the camera on the touch-screen display of the audio system.
1 The backup camera does not provide a comprehensive view of the rear area of the vehicle. You should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance.
Inner Beauty
Corolla offers a range of premium interior options for your comfort. CE is equipped with attractive light grey cloth – a nice contrast with the piano black and metallic trims. Heated front seats with grey or ivory premium fabric are standard on LE and LE ECO. Corolla S models feature black sport fabric with leatherette trim, and bolsters to hold you more snugly in place. Or choose black softex, available with the Technology Package on S.
Hear Here
Corolla CE's standard audio system includes AM/FM/CD/MP3 playback capability, audio auxiliary/USB input, Bluetooth® and 4 speakers. Loaded with fantastic features and functionality, the display audio system on LE, S, LE ECO models includes a 6.1" touchscreen that displays the artist, song and album art and 6 speakers. The system on S Technology Package also includes Navigation, Bluetooth® Phone and Audio, integrated XM Satellite Radio and a unique "Text to Voice" feature. All systems include Steering Wheel Audio Controls.Watch the

I have a (I think) small issue concerning qTranslate and Woocommerce on my website: http://www.vanroykasseien.nl.
When browsing any of the (sub)categories of the webshop, the pagination links (page-number links) won't work and I can't figure out how to change this. All other links work but when someone attempts to click another/next page when viewing products the link fails. See for yourself (browse in German or English): http://www.vanroykasseien.nl/?product_cat=statues&lang=en
As you can see, what happens is that wordpress links to http://www.vanroykasseien.nl/?lang=en/?product_cat=statues&paged=2&lang=en instead of simply http://www.vanroykasseien.nl/?product_cat=statues&paged=2&lang=en
Anyone has an idea what might be causing this weird issue and how to fix this?

A little disappointed...
Posted by Reviewer3031778 on Dec 11, 2011
I was really excited to get this product for its really low rating on ewg's website but the product seems to make my daughters diaper rash worse and not better. However I have put it on her cradle cap and it works great to moisturize that. I put it on before bed , but I do usually have to wash her hair in the morning because the cream does make it really greasy.
It's alright.I use it on my hair
