Rated 5 out of 5 by Cdnboat Bath rug We needed a new bath rug and this one is awesome. Nice to step on just coming out of the shower. April 17, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gennaro Simply Terrific... The Resort Memory Foam Bath Rug is exactly what my wife was looking for, and you know the "Happy wife" evidence of the good life certainly applies. Thank you, Frontgate. April 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by nwimom beautiful rug The rug is beautiful and luxurious. I love to step onto the rug/floor mat after getting out of the tub. It is very cushiony. March 22, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by outdoor1 Want more of these rugs!!!! I purchased this rug for the master bath. My husband and I love this rug! It is so thick and soft. It feels like we are in a resort every time we step on it. Will definitely be purchasing more! February 24, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Deid Fabulous Bathroom Rug I purchased this to extend for two sinks, it is so soft and takes away the feeling of hard tile. The softness lasts for the time I spend in front of the sink and mirror. Hair, make up...etc. I can not not speak to durability just yet, I have only had the rug for a month. There has been no pilling, matting or lint for this rug. January 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by mce1 great rug! even my husband loves it, very cushy and perfect size! January 24, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by JasonM Very Satisfied We've only had these rugs for ~2 months but they are holding up very nicely. They are very soft and the quality is great. January 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by BDH7 It Fits! Perfect rug in front of my double sinks. Love the light gray color, the way it feels, and the way it lays. It's a fine rug. Good value. January 1, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Texans Finally found a bath rug I have been looking for a bath rug for a while have been purchasing in stores and always looking for another. This memory foam bath rug is thick enough for comfort and soft to touch better yet it remains dry after multiple uses. Now that I found a good bath rug I also purchased one for my daughter. October 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MinnyGirl Great bathroom rugs! Love the look and feel of these rugs. Purchased two and have been living in luxury ever since. July 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by qoeBarb Resort Memory bath rug This bath rrug is amazingly soft under foot and absorbs water nicely when standing on it after exiting the bath. It is attractive in our bathroom and I would recommend ist. My reservation is I will see how it holds up with use. July 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by paroleguy Very nice Good looking and very comfortable under foot. Takes a while to dry, but that's no problem. Real bargain. July 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mems Memory foam rug This rug is gorgeous and the only reason I have to return it is that the door to my master closet opens up next to the sink where the rug lies and the rug is too high for the door to open (darn). February 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shush Memory Foam Bathroom Rug Beautiful color with great softness. The memory foam inside makes the rug feel as though you are walking on air. February 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MLDC Met expectations Very soft, and attractive. Just what I had expected. Just wish there were more size options. February 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lizanne Great bath rugs The rugs I received exceeded my expectations . They are soft , and made of quality materials. After first wash still remain beautiful. February 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MarcyJo Frontgate products As always, excellent quality with this rug. Sometimes I must save up for months or even years to buy what I want from Frontgate, but I have never been disappointed—not once. Mary M. February 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bdo01 Resort Memory Foram Bath Rug Purchased a double vanity rug and a smaller one for the shower- love it. Quality it great- very soft on the feet. The only problem is that I didn't consider that the rug is thick and may be a bit to high for the door to open and shut with ease. The door can be adjusted- but someone else may want to consider if the bath room door is tight/close to the floor- adding the rug you may have a problem. Cleaning may be something to think about - the larger rug- but you could use a hand tool with a carpet cleaner to clean. Overall, would recommend. February 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dorian Resort Memory Foam Bath Rug We are very happy with these rugs. They are very absorbent, soft and feels like your standing on a cloud. If I could I would re carpet my home with memory foam carpet. I definitely recommend this product. February 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by FLWRDK A bit of heaven! I bought the Resort Memory Foam Bath Rug and boy were my feet in for a surprise. When I exit the shower each day the plush, cushiony soft, airy feel under my feet just boosts my mood for the day. Can't wait to order a mat for in front of the toilet and in front of the sink. Exceeded my expectations. Worth every penny! February 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by devon10 Best Rug Ever There are so many good things to say about this rug, I don't know where to begin. I'll start by saying this is the best rug I've ever owned. It is so soft under bare feet. The memory foam bounces right back up after standing on it. The color is beautiful in my bathroom. Although, it is a little more gold than is depicted online or in your catalogue. It is too large to wash in the washer. However, it vacuums just fine. I owned the Belize rug for two years and every time I vacuumed it, the shag would pull out and get caught on the roller of my vacuum. I had to remove that by hand. I would never recommend the Belize rug. I would absolutely recommend the Resort Memory Foam Bath Rug. January 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kemm Elegant and incredibly wonderful to stand on! This is so luxurious! We purchased the 72" for outside of shower and 2 smaller ones for in front of the vanities. When you steep out of shower you sink into a soft and extremely cushiony warm rug. The only problem that I have encountered is that when you vacuum the rugs the yarn catches and unravels the rug. I had to return 2 because of this issue and Frontgate replaced them. I now only can use the upholster attachment to vacuum the rugs and even with that, you have to be careful as it appears if it has too much suction- it could pull the yarn. January 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Waukeeian So cushiony! I am very happy with the 3 Resort Memory Foam Rugs I ordered. The color was true to the website and the quality seems high. Best of all, they are a delight to step onto. Very cushiony and they don't appear matted down after use. I haven't washed them yet so can't rate on durability. January 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ellie1029 Memory Foam Rug Wonderful cozy rug! Very well made, and I would highly recommend this purchase. January 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Indianapolis Really nice but thick These are wonderfully soft thick bathroom rugs. But you ahve to be careful if you have a door that needs to swing over them, it might not work. December 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JJODE Oh so comfy! Frontgate continues to amaze me with their quality products. Color is rich! Quality is excellent. Memory foam is really comfortable. I'm not sure my husband and I can return to the plain old spa bathroom rugs we previously had purchased through Frontgate. December 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CheyZ Luxurious Feel I just got this rug. It exceeds my expectations and is so soft and looks beautiful. Walking on the carpet is luxurious. I love it! It is made well, carpet is plush and tightly woven. I would highly recommend. November 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by iswimslo Great So Far The rug is very soft and luxurious and a delight to step on when leaving the shower. It's got a nice backing that keeps it in place on the tile floor. The size and color were just what we'd been looking for. Since it's new, we haven't had a need to wash it, so can't comment on the durability yet. It seems to be of higher quality than similar rugs I saw at a large bed/bath retailer. I have shaken it out several times and haven't noticed any shedding. So far, the fibers don't seem to get matted down after stepping on them. Note the rug is pretty thick and will not work in an area that requires clearance for a door. I had hoped to purchase another one for in front of the sink, but the pile/memory foam is so deep, I can't close the door over it. October 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bestmom Wonderful rug! I bought this rug to put by my back french doors to use when my dogs go in and out. It is working perfectly and the dogs love to lay on it and look out the window or just take a nap on it. I haven't had to wash it yet, but I know that it will take a long time to dry, which isn't a problem. I have memory foam rugs in the master bath, so I knew that I would like this rug. October 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JulTow very luxurious This rug is really deep and soft. We love it. I read some reviews that said it took a long time to dry when washed. I vacuum it most of the time. If, on occasion, I have to wash it, I have a substitute rug I use in the bathroom while this one is drying. You can't put it in the dryer because of the latex backing. And if this rug will be near a door, make sure you have good clearance under the door (we had our door shaved an inch up a while ago so clearance was no problem), October 4, 2013

The concept of management versus leadership has traditionally been confused by most. Everyone is talking about leadership and being a good leader, even managers. So even an average manager might think that they're leading their team. They're not.
But wait, we're not here to bash managers. When I read an article about how everyone should be a leader, and make out how managers are like the devil incarnate, I roll my eyes.
You need managers! Managers are there to establish and maintain the status quo. Without the status quo, you're definitely not going to build a strong organization.
And yes, status quo is not a taboo word.
Without managers, everyone's going to decide how they want to do things according to their own preferences. Managers are also there to execute the many ideas leaders possess. They make sure that work is completed.
Let me repeat: both are needed. One without the other will lead to failure, and both are essential to the success of any organization.
This article is about distinguishing managers and leaders. And stop reading those articles that bash managers.
In the words of Bennis and Nanus,
'People don't want to be managed. They want to be led. Whoever heard of a 'world manager'? World leader, yes. Educational leader. Political leader. Religious leader. Scout leader. Community leader. Business leader. They lead. They don't manage. The carrot always wins over the stick.
Warren Bennis
Ask your horse. You can lead your horse to water, but you can't manage him to drink. If you want to manage somebody, manage yourself. Do that well and you'll be ready to stop managing. And start leading.'
No one likes to be managed. Imagine me telling you, "I need to manage you." - What does that imply? That if left unmanaged, somehow you will cause disaster to happen? That you're an uncontrollable maniac that needs to be shackled up? Telling someone they need to be managed is a sure way to insult them.
People want to be led, they don't want to be managed. You can manage processes, procedures, resources, but people want to be led.
Let's look at 3 key differences between managers and leaders. And realize that leaders are not the saints and managers are not the devil incarnate.
Leaders are the one who strategize. They are the ones who will look at the existing environment and decide if alternative action is necessary, or stick to the status quo. Like the captain of the ship, they look the winds and decide if a change in the direction of the sails is necessary.
If they don't watch carefully, the organization will be overtaken by competitors and overwhelmed by circumstance. Thus, it is the responsibility of a leader to look on to the horizon and decide if a new strategy is needed.
Managers partner leaders here. They execute what the leader has conceived. A good manager executes the action plans of the leader well, managing the processes and resources. He/she turns the vision into reality.
Leaders need to look at organizational wide implications when they speak or when they take an action. They need to think of the possible logical consequences FOR THE ORGANIZATION with their decisions. It is not an enviable task, for the livelihood of many is often in your hands.
Managers, on the other hand, need to focus on the efficiency of the micro-processes in the organization. In their execution of the vision, managers often see the flaws in current systems.
Their role is to focus on not just managing the internal processes, but also suggest possible improvements to making the system better.
It's the leader's job to look at the status quo and question what can be done better. They should use a critical eye and a keen ear to observe what needs to be changed and improved.
Through this process, leaders equip their organizations to stay relevant and competitive in an ever-changing landscape.
If leaders mistake their role of that of a manager, then they're going to find their whole organization becoming obsolete in a few year's time. Has it happened before? - Many times.
Kodak refused to adopt the digital camera when it first emerged, believing it to be a fad that would die off eventually.

"kodak's leaders refused to innovate, and paid the price."
The leaders refused to change the status quo and they eventually had to give up their right to be leaders as the organization as Kodak had to wind up its business.
Managers, on the other hand, work within the status quo given to them. While they may give suggestions of improvement, their roles are not primarily to challenge it.
Their roles are simply to execute so that the organization can run as a whole.
Can a manager play a leader's role sometimes? - Of course. These are necessary if the organization wants to see small, incremental improvements in the organization.
Any good leader will tell you that managers are necessary for the execution of their visions. If everyone wants to be the leader, who's going to follow?
You'll have so many opinions and ideas without anyone willing to execute them! Try walking into a committee meeting with self-proclaimed leaders, and you'll know what I'm talking about!
Let's make things clear: You need to play the role of a manager in an organization before you can earn the right to become a leader.

With strong winds and rains forecast from early in the week, the Dons boss made it clear to his men that the conditions could be no excuse, and they looked comfortable in overcoming the Buddies.
He said: "Of all the wins we've had this season, that's the most satisfying three points.
"We knew from early in the week what the conditions would be, and that the winds were set to be at their strongest at 3pm on Saturday.
"We knew we would have to try to be brave, keep the ball on the deck as any high balls would become a lottery, and I think both goals were an example of that. Both came from misjudging the ball in the air.
"I think we dealt with the conditions better over the 90 minutes. I still felt we were a bit wasteful with our chances, but the supporters should be pleased and proud of the performance."
The Dons move on to face second-placed Inverness next Saturday, and also have matches against Motherwell and Dundee United over the festive period, but McInnes does not see the run of games as defining in the season.
He added: "We've got eight games in 32 days, and the full squad will be needed over that time.
"If we can minimise injuries, the strength that can bring over the next month will be important.
"It's very rarely a period in a season where it isn't vital. We've done well against the teams around us, and it's important to keep winning as much as anything."
St Mirren's Danny Lennon conceded that the conditions affected his side and played their part in the goals they gave away, but he was disappointed with the offside decision which saw Steven Thompson denied what would have been the opener in the early stages.
Lennon said: "The conditions played a big part. Today's game was being built up as two good teams coming against each other in good form, and they would have come along expecting to see that type of quality, but the elements didn't allow that.
"We've got to dust ourselves down and take it on the chin. We've been on a good run lately and we're going to have to get back on that road very quickly.
"The goal we had disallowed was a big call by the official, and from our angle it looked very much onside. It's difficult enough to come here without decisions like that going against you and to concede the goals in the way we did was disappointing."
Lennon was in general pleased with his side's performance, however.
He added: "I thought after the initial 10-15 minutes of the game, we settled in really well and took the game to Aberdeen, getting good crosses into the area. We continued that into the second half - but the goals went against us.
"I can only recall the good form that we've been on and look to go and continue that."
Goalkeeper Marian Kello was involved in both the goals St Mirren conceded, but Lennon refused to pin any blame on his goalkeeper.
He commented: "We win games together, we draw together and we lose together. He's a very, very good professional and has brought nothing but quality to our group. There will be no finger-pointing."

Turkish Martini
- 1 1/2 ounces vanilla vodka
- 3 ounces Turkish coffee
- 1/2 ounce Raki (Turkish liquor) like Ouzo or Sambuca but this is a little lighter.
- 1/4 ounce Torani Almond syrup
- Ice
In a mixing glass, add vanilla vodka, Turkish coffee, Raki and Torani and some ice. Shake 10 times and serve in a chilled martini glass. Drink would be nice on the rocks too.

I have experience working with all kinds of students. My students have been small school children as well as doctoral candidates and corporate supervisors. This familiarity with different learning contexts, paired with my solid educational background, provides me with the expertise and confidence necessary to personalize my approach to meet the needs of the students, even when creative and "non-conventional" methods are necessary.
I have had the privilege of attending some great schools and understand the skills and characteristics necessary to excel in them. Therefore, I am able to comfortably assist gifted students with their studies, as well as suggest areas for improvement in their education and college preparation.
I have also worked with students struggling with their studies, and can help them with basic study skills, STAR test preparation, self-discipline and motivation.
As a doctorate student, I had the opportunity to co-teach a graduate course and I supervised three undergraduates in their research seminar. I have tutored many university students and have been thrilled to see them excell in their courses as a result.
One of my areas of specialty is aiding students from overseas (mostly from China, Korea, Saudi Arabia and Italy) and I am an expert ESL educator. I am fluent, or nearly fluent, in Mandarin, French and Italian.
Another area of specialty is standardized test preparation, especially the SAT and ACT (the reading and writing sections only). I am proud to say that I can earn perfect scores in those English sections, and I know the most effective tricks and strategies taught by the best prep-centers, such as Elite. My students usually see a 15-30% improvement in their scores (after completing my intensive program, which usually lasts two months).
I ensure that each lesson is geared toward clear goals and update students and parents regularly with the progress toward those goals. All of my students therefore see improvement.
I am familiar with state and national standards and the curricula in the Irvine district, Fairmont and Crean. I am also familiar with the tests used by the district for GATE placement, such as the OLSAT. I have experience working with all kinds of students. My students have been small school children as well as doctoral candidates and corporate supervisors. This familiarity with different learning contexts, paired with my solid educational background, provides me with the expertise and confidence necessary to personalize my approach to meet the
Group rates are available--you must provide your own group. Special needs discounts for those who qualify. Special preparation (such as editing essays) charged at 1/2 the rate.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
After my studies of various business law issues in law school and my participation in graduate business plan competitions at the business school, I assisted businesses with their legal and strategic issues as both an attorney and a consultant.
After studying basic Mandarin Chinese in Mainland China for a year, I completed advanced language study at Cornell University and at the Inter-University Program for Chinese Language Studies, a program administered by UC Berkeley at Tsinghua University and considered the best advanced Chinese language program in the world.
I have taught English to speakers of various Romance and Asian languages for four years, both in classroom and individual settings, and to students ranging from ages five to forty. I have lived in many different countries, including China, and am therefore familiar with a variety of learning styles and expectations. Having studied six languages myself, three to near-native fluency, I know all kinds of language learning skills, and I know how frustrating language study can be.
I have helped students with their literature study and essays throughout my teaching/tutoring career. I've only deeply focused on it for the past four years--it's been a lot of fun! I almost forgot how much I love James Joyce and it's been a delightful study to relearn the art of creative narrative. I'm so glad novel reading has come back into my life as a result.
I have received great training as an SAT preparation teacher from a number of programs. I have a number of skills and strategies which allow me to obtain perfect scores on the reading and writing sections. Not only am I able to identify for the student the correct answer, but I am able to explain all of the answer options. All of my students have seen substantial improvement in their test scores.

Several Ducks Unlimited-owned properties in South Dakota are open to public access during the hunting season. These properties are enrolled in the South Dakota Game Fish and Parks (SDGFP) public walk-in area program. Hunters are required to follow SDGFP rules to access DU properties and all other public walk-in area lands as listed on pages 4-5 in the SDGFP Hunting Atlas (http://gfp.sd.gov/ePubs/wildlife/public-hunting-atlas/2015/index.html). Hunters must have appropriate SD hunting licenses and abide by all South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department hunting laws and regulations.
All DU land open to public hunting is clearly posted with either white or yellow SDGFP public walk-in access signage and/or blue colored signs that indicate DU land open to public hunting.
Ducks Unlimited permits public access on specified lands owned by the organization. Most properties are part of a Revolving Land Strategy and held for a short term. Accessibility to these properties is subject to change. Once DU sells a property, access to the land will be at the discretion of the new landowner. DU does not reserve special hunting or other privileges for anyone.
Contact Ducks Unlimited Land Manager in South Dakota Randy Meidinger with any questions or concerns.

We're less than two weeks away from the first-ever WWE Capitol Punishment pay-per-view, and tonight's Raw should give us a clearer picture of what we can expect to see next Sunday from Washington, D.C.
In fact, we might already know what matches we'll see at the PPV. We'll take a look at how the results from this weekend's Raw house shows could spoil what we'll see at Capitol Punishment.
Also, over the weekend, Melina provided us with an update on the injury status of John Morrison. But is she just trying to throw us off?
While Morrison's gone—at least for now—a familiar face could be making his way to Raw. You'll find out who this mystery man is.
And finally, we've got the latest on CM Punk and his WWE future. Is he staying or is he going?
Don't worry, because I've got you covered on all that. And more!
So sit back, relax and enjoy a little news before tonight's episode of Monday Night Raw.

Adrar Plateau
|The Adrar
|Natural region
Landscape of the stony desert known as Reg de l'Adrar
Location of the Adrar in central Mauritania
|340 m (1,120 ft)
The Adrar (Berber: , lit. mountain) is a highland natural and historical region of the Sahara Desert in northern Mauritania. The Adrar Region, an administrative division of Mauritania, is named after the traditional region.
The Adrar is an arid plateau, known for its gorges, regs (stony deserts) and shifting sand dunes. Nearby is also the famous Richat Structure. Structurally the Adrar is a low central massif with conspicuous cliffs. There is no water in the central area of the plateau and cultivation is not possible; only at the edges there is enough water to support palm groves.
The Adrar region is home to a small human population, centered on the town of Atar. The ancient town of Ouadane, formerly an important caravan and gold-trading centre, is located on the southern edge of the Adrar. Chinguetti is another important historical town in the region.[1]
The Adrar was heavily settled in the Neolithic era. The more recent aridification has left much of the archaeology intact, most notable several stone circles[citation needed] and the later town of Azougui.
Beginning in the mid-17th century, migrants from the Adrar Plateau region moved into the Tagant Plateau and displaced the native population.[2]

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
Ian Cheng in the upcoming exhibit at MOCA, "Love of Technology."
This week it was announced that Alex Gartenfeld, recently brought in as chief curator of MOCA North Miami, will also now be serving as interim director. That's because the founding director of MOCA – which opened up in 1996 – Bonnie Clearwater is moving up to Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale to take over as director there. Both developments have the potential to enrich the South Florida art scene.
Let's start with Gartenfeld. He's a very young curator, writer and editor out of New York who has already left an impressive trail that has had people extolling his eye, his energy and his dedication to promoting quality contemporary art. He recently organized "Empire State," which plopped 25 New York artists down in one of the capitals of classical and Renaissance art, Rome, to much acclaim, this past April. We'll get to measure his vision with the first exhibit he will curate for MOCA, "Love of Technology," which opens Sept. 27. The show will include 14 international artists. Through using and referencing technological objects, the artists address traditions of minimalism and conceptual exploration in current art, with some site-specific and commissioned works.
Gartenfeld will be taking the reins from Clearwater, the most influential museum director in Miami and a hard act to follow. (MOCA is in the process of a nationwide search for a permanent director; the museum today is big and important enough to demand both a director and chief curator, it's too big a job for one person.) Clearwater will be revamping a museum that needs her spirit – her presence can speed up what is already happening in Broward that is turning it into a serious art center. One of the advantages that Clearwater will find is that, unlike MOCA, the Ft. Lauderdale museum is connected to a university, Nova Southeastern, which opens up many research and collaborative opportunities. There will be a welcoming night for her at the end of August, which will also be a chance to catch the always intriguing and top-notch South Florida Cultural Consortium Exhibition. The recipients include artists from Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade – of the latter, Gideon Barnett, Naomi Fisher, Adler Guerrier, Patricia Hernandez, Jason Hedges, Juan Travieso and Agustina Woodgate are represented.
Both institutions on either side of the county line should be infused with new energy with these changes.
And of course, we will see what the Pérez Art Museum Miami will offer, with its relatively new curating staff and building, as it reveals itself later in the fall. These are all changes we can't help but look forward to.
The "End of Summer" celebration featuring new museum director Bonnie Clearwater and the artists of the South Florida Cultural Consortium Exhibition will take place at 7 p.m. on Aug. 31 at the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, One E. Las Olas Blvd., Ft. Lauderdale; 954-525-5500; www.moafl.org.

The Philadelphia Eagles' Jeremy Maclin was the No. 27 scoring wide receiver in fantasy football last year, according to ESPN.com standard scoring. Not bad.

Vt. selectman's widow sues hospital over deathMarch 30,2013
BENNINGTON - The widow of a select board member in Pownal, Vt., has sued a hospital, accusing it of causing her husband's death in 2011.
The complaint was filed in Bennington Superior Court by Jean Prouty. It says Donald Prouty Jr. suffered a fall at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center that caused complications leading to his death.
The Bennington Banner reports (http://bit.ly/X0xKfZ) Prouty, who had Hepatitis C, went to the hospital complaining of head and neck pain from recent falls.
Hospital staff determined the 56-year-old Prouty was at a high risk of falling and ordered a bed alarm and "personal sitters."
The lawsuit says no one was in his room and the alarm was deactivated when he fell. He fractured his pelvis and suffered internal bleeding.
A hospital lawyer denies the allegations.

Police have praised the actions of a group of good Samaritans - including an ice cream man - who helped to foil a dramatic bank raid.
Al-Fodday Fofanah, 30, was jailed for nine and a half years after trying to rob a Barclays bank in south London last year.
He was stopped when a hoard of good Samaritans, including a police officer, trainee ambulance driver, two roofers, and an ice cream man stepped in to stop him.
Fofanah was at the Barclays in Borough High Street on July 25 last year when he pulled a stocking over his face and took an assault rifle from his bag, aiming it at the cashier while demanding money.
He walked out of the bank when he realised he wouldn't get any cash and was followed by off-duty police officer Adrian Hanstock, trainee ambulance driver Michael Duncan and the bank's assistant manager Dean Smith.
Other members of the public helped with the chase and Fofanah was disarmed and held to the ground until police arrived.
The man, who was on day release from prison at the time, had tried to rob another bank a week earlier.
Detective chief inspector Paul Johnson, of the Flying Squad, said: "A number of people assisted with detaining Fofanah following the attempted armed robbery and without their help there is every possibility that he may have got away."
Fofanah was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court yesterday after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing to two counts of attempted armed robbery and two counts of possession of an imitation firearm.
He committed both attempted robberies while in Ford Open Prison.
He also pleaded guilty to escape from custody relating to his escape on July 18.

Lonnie & Pat's in Meridian had been open for decades before the doors were closed in December 2008. The reason was simple: the owners retired.
But the daughter of the previous owners reopened the restaurant July 7. It is regarded by many as the home of the best burger in town.
"Everybody was missing it so," said Shelley Tew, "We wanted to carry on the tradition, so we kept it open. We brought it back. Everything's the same. The only thing different is you'll have to pick up your order and get your drinks. It's homemade. Homemade hamburgers, home made French fries. It's the fourth generation, so we're keeping it going."
The restaurant was called Uncle Bud's Cafe when it first opened in the building next to its current location.
Tew says she doesn't really know when it first opened, but she is the fourth generation of her family to run the restaurant.

Alright, maybe he's just misunderstood. Either way, video game fans constantly curse the director who masterminded adaptations of The House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark (and likely BloodRayne when it's released later this year) onto the silver screen. Fanboys ragged on director Paul W.S. Anderson and the perceived average-ness of Resident Evil, but the critical flack directed at Boll's interpretations remains unrivaled.
Let's drop the bombshell before we move on: Rumors were flying this summer that Boll had picked up the rights to the controversial first-person-shooter Postal franchise, but developer Running With Scissors quickly debunked the speculation. In talking with Boll, we asked him about his interest in Postal and - lo and behold - were told he's currently in negotiations for the rights to the series, and expects to start shooting Postal sometime next year. Additionally, he'll be writing the script hand-in-hand with the game designers, a first for him and video game movies. It should be interesting to see how Boll handles a game whose gameplay revolves around pure shock value.
While they're popular targets for Internet bashing, Boll's films haven't performed well at the box office. The House of the Dead only brought in a paltry $10.2 million according to box office tracking website The Numbers. The film made less than $40,000 its fifth weekend, and his follow-up, Alone
For someone dealing with such a hardcore audience, Boll's public statements and interviews always feel slightly out of touch with gamers. 1UP decided it was time to set the record straight, and what better way than talking with the man himself? Currently in the midst of principal photography for Microsoft and Gas Powered Games' Dungeon Siege, we chatted with Boll while he was physically on location in Toronto for the film. In fact, the hectic shooting schedule meant we were actually present (well, over the phone) during several scenes, patiently waiting as Boll set up and filmed scenes during our chat.
What you first realize when talking to Boll is that he isn't stupid. He knows how to use the Internet, he browses popular game and film websites, reads message board threads about his films, and knows what people are bitching about. He doesn't take it all seriously, but he's definitely fully conscious of how many people (especially in the video game community) don't like his films. "I would be a liar if said I was happy about those [upset] reviews or happy about those Internet voices because I'm checking this out," he says. "There's a little overacting on a few message boards about it, and on the other hand, it could be worse. [laughs]"
He's quick to point out there are numerous mistakes in his films, going as far as admitting the script for The House of the Dead was "complete crap," but blames many of the film's fundamental problems on Sega and the film studio preventing him from becoming involved in the film from the ground up. Boll was reportedly brought into production two months before shooting, far too late to make radical script or design changes. He was then forced to make up 50% of the dialogue up on set "and it's still totally cheesy because there are no characters!" These issues were further hindered by actors who Boll describes as "let's say maximum - okay." Of course, that doesn't quite explain the random inclusion of gameplay footage found in the film.
Contrary to popular belief, The House of the Dead was not Boll's directorial debut. Before working on videogame adaptations, Boll was involved in a number of different productions and is even credited with writing the screenplays for many of them. If you're feeling dangerous, most of the films are readily available for order from eBay, Amazon and other online retailers.

NEWS WATCH; Compaq Slims Down
By PETER H. LEWIS
Published: October 7, 1999
The Compaq Computer Corporation has never been known for sleek PC designs, and until now its Presario computers have taken up more desk space than those of most of its competitors. But this week Compaq introduced the Presario 3550, a supermodel-thin system that includes a 15-inch flat-panel L.C.D. monitor, a ''slim tower'' case that is less than half the size of other Presarios and a set of flat-panel speakers from Monsoon, all in a metallic midnight-blue casing.
The Presario 3550 has a 500-megahertz Intel Celeron processor and comes with a CD-RW drive. The list price is $1,999. PETER H. LEWIS

The hotel is in a very good spot we were able to go to many places and not have to drive to fare. The staff was very nice and their if u needed help
The heater in the room would work only for a little bit and didn't blow out much heat at night or got really cold
a little run down. wifi didn't work. could hear lobby tv in my room.
Location mattered first the staff was welcoming in all aspects!!
There really wasn't much not to like, the price could of been a bit cheaper.
The desk clerk was rude. We asked a question and it took 5 times of asking by 3 of us to get a direct answer. There was a group of men drinking and being loud on the tailgate of their truck all night. My daughter was scared to go to the car alone.
The rooms had been completely renovated since we stayed last year. New furnishings, carpet, paint. No smoking facility. Clean and fresh. Great, friendly accommodating owners. Inexpensive. ..but not cheap. Would definitely recommend.
Room was freezing. Dirty. Sketchy. Hair on the towels. Didn't stay the night.
Very limited motel options in Antioch, IL. Place to sleep.
Get what you pay for. Go in with no expectations
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

please send us an

Great all-purpose camping/backcountry hiking backpack. Has held up over a decade with multiple people using it on overnight to 30-day trips. A bit heavy compared to what's available today. Padding is comfortable but hot. This pack has been a great pack for the family. Has held up over a decade of backpacking and intercontinental trips (as a checked bag with flight cover) and has been loaned out to friends over the years. (Each person adjusting for their size.)

Excellent lightweight pack that is versatile for many conditions. I've had this pack for over 12 years now and use the heck out of it.

Lowe Alpine was founded in Boulder, Colo., by Greg Lowe in 1967. By 1970, the Lowe brothers — Jeff, Greg, and Mike — had combined efforts and poured their energy into innovating, producing, and marketing technical climbing apparel and packs.
The brothers sold the brand in the '80s and ended all affiliation with the brand by 1988.
In 2011, Equip Outdoor Technologies, which also owns Rab, Integral Designs, and Podsacs, bought Lowe Alpine. In 2012, Lowe Alpine named Jeff Lowe its Honorary Brand President.
