Historical Traveler Reviews The Grand Makadi Hurghada
Not for families
Well what can i say the good points about the hotel is that its beautiful and pure luxury. Big pool, great views and some amazing fish to look at in the sea. It a fantastic resort for couples not for familys with older children mainly. It is quiet and there is nothing to do unless your german and you can understand the water polo. the entertainment in the grand is terrible very repative. The guy singer sings the same songs most night. The makadi palace has some good shows on some nights but not all and then you can have a giggle doing the club dances which was the best part. Dont worry bout getting a drink in the palace they dnt look at the bands so u wont have to pay. The nightclub in the hotel was not gfreat but at least you could have a dance so taht was at least one plus. I met a few friends was hard as the resort was mostly german. So altogeva if your a couple its for you very romantic for familys with children over 10 its not really the best hotel.
Prepare for some serious relaxation...
My husband and I stayed at the Grand Makadi, Makadi Bay, Egypt in early June for a week as our main summer holiday. We booked with Going Places and travelled with the tour operator Panorama on an all-inclusive basis.
Due to a delayed outbound flight (don't fly with Excel airways if you can help it but that's a completely different story!) we didn't get to the hotel until about midnight local time so we only really saw reception, the lobby bar and the corridor to our room!! Check-in was fine and relatively quick. All-inclusive guests are required to wear a pink wrist-band (I don't think the hotel offers any other type of boarding but makes it obvious to the staff which hotel you are from). On the quick glance around the room before collapsing on the bed it seemed a very good size, with a super balcony facing the sea (it was a request we placed when booking) and a large bathroom. Your welcome pack includes a rather confusing map of where the restaurants are in the grounds and the opening times.
On awaking we were pleasantly surprised that the balcony was well appointed with two semi-sunbeds (no bits for your legs) and a table, and the room had a sofa bed with two additional chairs and a coffee table. The bed must have been a super-king - it was huge! The air conditioning was essential (daytime temperatures got above 40 degrees C) but could get chilly in the middle of the night. The bathroom had a bath with shower over and a basin with large counter. The loo was in the bathroom with a separate door. I found shower and general water pressure a bit pathetic, I like powerful showers. The bath was a bit grubby and scuffed, but not a big thing. There was an electronic safe in the wardrobe and lots of hanging space, although not really tall enough for long skirts and trousers to hang free. The room had lovely cool floor tiles throughout.
Breakfast is served mainly in the Lagoon restaurant (7 - 10am but an early brekkie is served 5 - 7am in the Italian for early departures) and it took us a bit of time in the morning to find it! I didn't care for the cooked breakfast but there were lots of breads and pastries. Juices were also available but be warned - the fresh orange juice is NOT included in the all-inclusive price and you will be charged about �2 for a glass. That happened quite a bit throughout the stay and I was quite disappointed by this.
The hotel covers quite a lot of ground as the buildings are mostly 2- and 3-storeys high. There is one large free-form pool with varying depths although it's mostly 4ft (1.2m) and loads of nice sturdy wooden sunloungers. There is also a kiddies pool and play area but we only briefly walked past that so can't vouch for the facilities. The Panorama brochure describes the hotel as being 50m from the beach but I would say it's beachfront as once you're past the pool there is a sort of private pavement running the length of the grounds and then it's the beach. The beach is relatively shallow but beds and parasols are provided for hotel guests only. You can borrow snorkel gear if you fancy a dip in the ocean - spookily warm though, it feels like you're getting in a tepid bath!! In the lobby the hotel has a small shop but prices can be a bit variable, but you can buy postcards and stamps there for your loved ones at home. Delivery takes around 1.5 weeks to the UK in our experience.
There are a variety of restaurants available for lunch including the Lagoon and Leonardo (Italian) and an Indian (which we didn't try). We really enjoyed the Italian and ate there pretty much every day, either for lunch or dinner. There were also a couple of bistro type things at either end of the swimming pool, serving burger and chips between 12 and 5pm. Ice cream (in stingy measures!) was offered between 3.30 and 5pm up by reception.
A quick note about dinner - you must book the Leonardo and Indian restaurants in advance. This can be done after 12.30pm but you may find that that evening is full. They have a good 4 days or so in advance for pre-booking dinner so I would advise when you go for lunch get booking so you can have a special meal. The Leonardo is fabulous for an evening meal, really special. The Lagoon is less so and doesn't require pre-booking but you get bombarded with waiters offering fresh OJ at �2 a go.
Generally you can always find drink between the hours of 7am and 12pm. After 12pm you have to pay; the only bar open 24 hours is the Lobby Bar and you always have to pay for that. Soft drinks are Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, 7UP, and Fanta. Beer is from the pump and quite refreshing, although don't expect a full glass - the head on the beer is usually a good 1.5 inches! Drinks are usually served in 200ml glasses so if you don't want to keep jumping up from your sunlounger every few minutes get a couple to keep you going. A red and white wine is on offer in the package but if you want a nice bottle you will have to pay for it. Prices for non-included wine is reasonable. Bottled water is included and available from 10am to 12pm at no charge. The minibar in your room is additional.
We did enjoy our holiday there (we came back feeling exceptionally relaxed - nothing to do but sleep, eat, drink, swim and sunbathe!) but occasionally found the food wanting and memorising what was open when for food and drinks was complicated! When we booked our holiday we were told that the package included the ability to use the sister hotel's facilities, the Makadi Palace. The day we arrived they changed their minds and would charge you �7 each to use it. There were some other types of restaurants there (a Thai I think) so pretty cheap for a day at a different hotel but we thought this was a swizz and didn't bother going.
The British population at the hotel was maybe around 40%, there were a lot of Germans and a few other Europeans. In the first week of July there were quite a few school-age children about but the hotel wasn't at capacity and sunbeds were always available. I doubt this would be the case in high season though. Tipping is pretty much expected, the exchange rate is around 10 Egyptian pounds to �1 sterling. You can get 1 E� notes but in thanks for really good service (for example at dinner in the Leonardo) I'd recommend between 20E� - 30E� (about �2-3) and then you'll have friends for the duration of your stay!
As mentioned before, the temperatures get incredibly hot so take a hat and plenty of sunscreen, and have a lovely time!
What a Holiday
Just returned 30th June the hotel and staff could not be improved. The pool was warm, the sea like bathwater. My Husband had a tummy upset but we put that down to cold drinks when being so hot himself, plus a bit of sunstroke, although he did sit under the shades all the time. The weather was very hot. The pool area and surrounds were lovely, and if you can stand the heat it is nice to walk around. Food was good in the buffet and the Italian Restaurant, but cold in the Lebanese. We did go to the buffet in the Makadi Palace and also the Thai, which was great and the service was smashing. But as of today, we were told that you could not use their facilities. Most of the people in the Palace used to use the Grand Pool, restaurants, beach etc. The staff who give you the matresses for the sunbeds are great and if you treat them to start with they are always there, even if you want your bed turned into the sun. If you require any more info please let me know. I must agree that the bath we had also needed an update. Yes we will go back
Fabulous Holiday
We have just returned from a week at the Grand Makadi. Our party consisted of 21 adults and 14 children and the Hotel did all they could to accomodate such a large group. We were able to eat all together in the different restaurants providing we gave them 24 hours notice. We particuarly enjoyed the Italian and Thai (Makadi Palace) restaurants. In the evening we were all able to sit together and had rounds of drinks bought over to us every 15 minutes without even asking!
The staff could not have been friendlier but do tip if you appreciate the service - it is a normal part of life in Egypt. We found it best to tip with pound coins and then see the bell boy to swap coins for notes. Our room was kept spotless and we were given fresh beach and bath towels everyday. We booked a junior suite which was spacious and well furnished. My only criticism is that our bath needed re-enamelling and regrouting as it was beginning to look a little tired.
There were plenty of sunbeds even after having a late breakfast so no need to rush down at 6am which made a refreshing change. The pools were cold but as the temperature was in the late 90's when we were there that was quite welcome. There are lifeguards around the pools who keep a close eye on little ones even when you are with them.
Whilst I did not have a problem with the Rep Rory, my sister-in-law's case was left at Gatwick and took a week to arrive. He wasn't entirely on the ball when it came to chasing the case for us and suggestions of free dry cleaning of her only clothes she did have had to come from us so she was disappointed.
One word of warning though - out of the 35 people in our group all but 2 came down with stomach upsets. Nothing too serious and it certainly didn't spoil our holiday (we booking already for next year) but take plenty of Immodium with you just in case.
Great holiday!
We have just returned from a two week all inclusive stay at the Grand Makadi hotel booked through panorama!. The hotel is good and it is joint to the sister hotel the makadi palace. It is hard to say where the two hotels start and finish.
We stayed in one of the villa's which were situated at the centre of the complex. (Villa 1). The villa was more an somewhere to stay as it was decorated and furnished to a high standard. The bathroom/wc was average but did have twin bathroom basins. There was a large walk in wardrobe and a digital lock safe for your money and valuables. The main living area is divided with a centre unit which housed the mini bar in a cupboard and had a large tv on the top, although there are only a few english channels, one of these being a movie channel which was on 24-7, there was always something to watch.
The bed was the biggiest i have ever seen! you could sleep at least four adults in this and still have room to turn and twist without disturbing the others sleeping.
There is a living room area with two chairs, twin sofa and small coffee table as well as a medium sized round table and chairs to eat you meals that room service can provide at a small charge. The air conditioning system was in the villa was digital and we had this constantually at 16 degrees which was a god send as the weather as well hot.
There was three sets of double patio doors that open out to a patio area which had lighting and three steps directly into the main pool, which at night was lite up in an electric blue colour. Beautiful! They were in the process of completing a large jacuzi which was directly joined to the patio area which eventually would be an added extra to villa one. We were never disturbed or saw a workman once! There was two large wooden patio lounge style chairs and table on the patio to sit and relax!
The room was cleaned once a day and the room was made ready at night, bed covers folded back whilst you were out.
The pools have refreshingly cool water and are always clean as they are cleaned every evening by pool staff. There is never a problem to get a sunbed either around the pool area or on the beach. Whilst there, it appeared to be quite and not many holiday sun seakers, but after speaking to management they advised that the hotel was at 99.5% capicity, it only seemed quite becuase the hotel was so big.
The hotel has several restraunts. The lagoon and dome restraunts were buffet style, however there was such a large selection of salads and different dishes you never get bored. There was also a Tai, lebanese and italian restraunts, however most of the time you need to book up 24 hours in advance.
All the staff from management to the cleaners where always 100% polite, helpful and always seemed to have smiles in their faces.
They provide a dry cleaning service which had a good turn round. If collected before 0800hrs your clothes would be back the same day before 2000hrs. If collected after 1000hrs they would be back the following day before 2000hrs. Very cheap!
We went on three trips, a one day trip to luxor by coach. This was done in a large convoy of 40 ,or so coaches and was given police escort though the desert and through luxor to your destination. Although the trip starts at 0550hrs in the morning and takes about five hours to get there the coaches do have air conditioning and the seats are ok. There is two stops for breaks.
We visited Karnak, Valley of the kings, had lunch in a 5 star hotel next to the river Nile and then a small boat trip to the other side of the nile to collect our coach. A small stop for shopping. They even have McDelivery! (Yes everyone Mcdonalds delivery food on mountain bikes) this all took about about five hours and then the convoy left and retuned us all to our hotels by 2200hrs. Well worth �56 per person.
I recommend the shopping trip which cost �5.00 each, good day out as well as the half day boat trip which cost �26 each. You leave at 0800hrs in the morning, taken by coach to another hotel and you meet the large white cruiser type boat. you get to snorkel at three locations, and get to visit grifton island. Beautiful, like pardise! Lunch and soft drinks and water all included. I recommend the massage service on board, for �7 the relax massage was great and lasted 25 minutes.
Overall the whole holiday was well worth it and i would recommend going on holiday with panarama to anyone. The rep Rory was 100 % helpful, always there to sort out any problems and give advice, he could always be contacted on his mobile, even when it was his days off!
Overall holiday good value for money.
Great Holiday
As per the previouse comment excellent hotel the restaurants food excellent, we will revisit, the pools have now got warmer as the temp average at 30 each day.
We had breakfast in the dome each mornming, fresh pancakes for the children loads of variety of fresh fruit, breads, yougart. You need to book the restaurants for the evening, however well worth booking. cocktail bar and Joker club excellent coctails in the evening.
The rooms were roomy well furnished and attended twice a day.
We had a fantastic time, a 5 star holiday cant wait to go back again.
Great Hotel
We have just returned from the Grand Makadi (sister hotel Makadi Palace) in Makadi Bay, Hurghada.
We traveeled with Direct Hotels (My Travel) and were more than happy with their service.
The hotel is situated approx. 35 mins from Airport, 30 mins from main resort of Hurghada. Out of the way location (just as we like it!) but the hotel runs a courtesy bus to Hurghada throughout the day.
The accommodation is first class. Very spacious rooms with plenty of wardrobe space. There's aircon, a tv and mini bar in the room. The mini bar is not part of the all inclusive package. We didn't find the need to use it. They bring bottled water to your room daily.
The food was very good. Won't go as far as excellent but we didn't go hungry as there was plenty of choice. Didn't hear of a tummy bug all our stay!
The service from staff is excellent. Never had better service anywhere. The staff are warm and welcoming and can't do enough for you. We don't tip as we go along and still received good service so it wasn't for the money!
There's a lovely beach but it's coral so you'll need beach shoes. Don't bother buying them here get them in the hotel shop, they cost only �5.00. When the tide goes out you can explore the rock pools and find starfish and jelly fish. For the more adventurous you can go snorkelling and find lots more.
The only negative point is that the pools are FREEZING! My husband will swim in a cold pool but this was too cold even for him. They were empty all week so we weren't the only one's that thought so. It's a shame and hopefully they will be able to do something about them (assuming they've got heating sysyem?) because it will put people off. I wasn't bothered and it certainly won't put me off returning.
There are a lot of steps around the hotel so would cause difficulty for less able bodied. There are lifts though but not quite so convenient.
Evening entertainment is ok and something to suit all tastes. Plenty of day time activiities but why spoil a good holiday!!
It certainly gets a 9/10 from me. Would have got 10 had it not been for the pool!
Great Hotel with a few reservations
We spent a lovely two weeks at this hotel in Feb '06. As others have stated you have full use of the facilities in the Makadi Palace next door. If this will always be the case is uncertain as building work continues in the Palace - although this work will in no way inconvenience anyone.
This is a wonderful place for a relaxing holiday, but can be too restrictive if you are used to getting out and about on holiday.
We stayed in a Junior Suite that was very comfortable with all the facilities that you will need for a great holiday. The bed was huge - at least superking size. One gripe for me was the narrowness of the shower area in the bathroom - only a minor complaint though as the water was always hot and at a great pressure. The rooms are kept spotlessly clean as the room was serviced twice a day. Beach towels and a safety deposit box in your room are provided as part of the service.
The hotel is located in Makadi Bay, approx. 25km from Hurghada. It is set on a lovely sandy bay in a row of 5 or 6 hotels. Whilst there are security huts on the beach, we found that we were able to walk the length of the beach past all the hotels. When we stayed there the sea was definitely warmer than the pools!
The hotel runs a shuttle bus that takes you to the Grand Hotel in Hurghada. Here you can access a bank (with cash machine) and facilities such as a hairdresser. The duty free shop is also a short walk from the bus drop off point. You can buy duty free goods at this shop on production of your passport, the only restriction being that the purchases must be within 48 hours of your arrival in Egypt.
Hurghada is very much in the early stages of development. Do not expect very much and be pre-warned, the local shopkeepers are persistent and very difficult to shake off. This is to be expected as it is their custom, but it can come as a complete culture shock - if purchasing anything learn to haggle.
If you have the time I can recommend the overnight trip to Luxor. It is a long journey across the desert in convoy (about 4 hours) but worthwhile.
We managed to sample all the restaurants during our stay, however the quality was not wonderful everywhere.
First the excellent, the Thai and Italian Restaurants were wonderful, prompt service with food served hot and fresh. Got top marks from us. We also thoroughly enjoyed the two snack bars beside the beach and can also recommend the main beach restaurant. The breakfast at the beach restaurant was especially nice.
Service and entertainment was excellent at Jokers Club and the Terrace Bar. The staff are very attentive and your glass is rarely empty!
However two restaurants were especially poor and should be sampled with care.
The Tarboosh Lebanese Restaurant was universally slated by anyone that we talked to and we personally found that they were too concerned with the entertainment side of things and thus the quality of food was poor. The first time we ate there, everything that should have been warm was stone cold and everything that should have been chilled was served at room temperature. We complained and decided to give it a second chance a few days later but the food was no better.
The Dome buffet has some good food, but the food is not always looked after too well. They tend to skimp on the heating candles and too frequently the 'hot' food was tepid or worse still cold.
Service at the Rendezvous bar was often non-existant. However the sweets there are to die for.
A Caribbean style restaurant is due to open in March '06.
The staff on reception are very helpful and we had no problems with them.
We also made use of the laundary service and found it to be excellent value for money.
Last piece of advice, tips are expected everywhere. Do not tip with European coins. The locals don't appreciate it and you will be plagued constantly by staff trying to exchange the coins for notes. If you must tip with non-Egyptian money bring a supply of single US dollars.
Make sure you get a supply of small Egyptian notes, the bank oppposite the Grand Hotel in Hughada will oblige. If you go on the Luxor trip described above you will not get into the toilets at the stopover points in the desert without paying one Egyptian Pound, and change is not given. So it could be a very expensive visit if you haven't brought change!
Brilliant hotel
Just returned from two weeks at this hotel. Fantastic location and excellent service. The rooms were clean and tidy, very large with the biggest double beds I have ever seen.
This is on a complex with its sister hotel Makadi Palace. You can use all facilities in both hotels, and there is no clear boundary where one hotel finishes and the next one starts. It gives you a huge choice of all inclusive restaurants / snack bars, and the pool areas are large and varied. Better still is the beach, which is sandy, but you can snorkel off it as the reef ends a few yards out. We saw a better selection of fish here than when we went on the snorkelling trip! You can get snorkels/fins etc from the beach hut free of charge. The beach was also private with only hotel guests allowed on it.
There is building work going on next to the Makadi Palace but it does not disturb you.
Once again, fantastic hotel and holiday. We will go again.
Fantastic resort hotel
excellent atmosphere like 1001 nights but high standing with excellent smiling service. Possibility of 8 restaurants, most of them � la carte specialities like thai, lebanen, fish, italian food...
Junior suite is much better for little extra option
But: no fitness center and no spa center. And one of the beach restaurant has bad service (you have to fill drinks by yourself at the bar, what a pity!!)
TripAdvisor Reviews The Grand Makadi Hurghada
Travel Blogs from Hurghada
... we have wifi, I have coffee, so it may be cheap, but at least its clean and has hot water and A/C
Not quite sure what there is to see here, I don't think its fame is for temples, more like somewhere for tourists to come here and sit in the sun and go diving
Went to the marina last night for dinner, all very nice but completely empty, not many people wandering around, but those that were seemed to be all Russians or Germans

Egypt - Day 2: Hurghada, Old Town Shopping
... I like to cook and so we went in an Egyptian spice shop. The shop keeper is so enthusiastic in explaining every spice in his shop. He also told us the recent politics issue they had in their country and the reason why they don't like America. They wanted to control their own country by themselves. The tourism industry is getting worse by the news. It is safe to travel ...
Safaga, Egypt
... Voyager guests as we all tried to understand the puzzle of what was transpiring. One woman remarked on the strange feeling of us being aboard this massive cruiseliner with numerous creature comforts looking down on these poor Egyptians trying to eek out a living by importing used goods from another nation to resell in their country. It was a reminder to all of us how fortunate we are to be in the position we are, and to try to de-emphasize all of the problems ...

hung around there for a few hours.

Zelda is probably one of the greatest games ever, even if you havnt been to up to date with the storyline its something you need to check out.
Hey all!
I've been a lifelong Playstation fan since, well, it came out back in the 90's :-) However, my very first console was the NES (Duck Hunt!), then the SNES...that was the last Nintendo console I owned, but they've always held a special place in my heart . I made the switch because none of the games that Nintendo was offering for the gamecube, etc. looked interesting...they all looked childish, but after reading the forums I now know that this is not entirely true. My friend got a wii and I've been playing with it all week! Originally, I wanted a PS3, but why spend $700 bucks when I can get something better for half the price :-) So, I asked my parents for one for Christmas...hopefully they can come through and get me one! Anyway, I was looking at the games that are coming out for the Wii, and I can't help but ask...being a Metal Gear Solid fan, does anyone know if a version will be released for the Wii? I *think* a version was released for the Gamecube, so if not then I'll pickup the Gamecube copy and try and play it in my Wii. Is Kojima going to stick with the PS3 (which, btw is digging itself a huge hole...I feel sorry for Sony, but they screwed up bad on this one)?
Oh, and I know there are a ton of posts about "which games to get, etc." but I'll just add this anyway....
I'm thinking about getting CoD 3, Red Steel and Splinter Cell.....never played Zelda, so I don't know the storyline *and* it doesn't look interesting to me, but from all of the reviews I've been reading, maybe I should pick this one up to.
Zelda is probably one of the greatest games ever, even if you havnt been to up to date with the storyline its something you need to check out.
i never played zelda b4.. but im def getting zelda 4 the wii
its awsome
Honestly, you really don't need to know much about Zelda to play it. I knew nothing when I played Ocarina of Time. Basically, it's along the same basic structure of the storyline in each one, atleast looking at Link's past. He has to save Hyrule and what not.
Anyways, I've heard bad things about Splinter Cell. I wouldn't be suprised if MGS made one for the Wii. They made one for the GC. The Wii is going to be much more popular than the GC, so there really isn't really a reason not to. Some great games are coming to the Wii.
But dude, you NEED to get Zelda. Ocarina of Time is STILL my favorite game of all time. Pick up an emulator or something online and download a Zelda ROM if you want to "try it out" . It's really a great game. I would suggest buying it via vc on the Wii.
Buy BWii Thread
Twilight Princess is really phenomenal. Warning though, Zelda games sometime take a while to pick up. You have about 60-90 minutes of gameplay in TP before you really even start playing, but the introductory period is almost essential to pick up how the game is played, though maybe not entirely necessary for Zelda veterans.
If you like TP though, I would definitely drop the $20 on Windwaker for GameCube (Hey TWO great Zelda games you can play on Wii!). Windwaker ranks as one of if not THE greatest console game of it's genre (I know I'll get pegged a blasphemer for calling it better than Ocarina by many)

Gasp, the 90's? lol.

I played OoT but never really got too far into it (it was rental) but TP is currently my all time favorite game EVAR! Its so hardcore and ADDICTING. Seriously, I need to do some homework. :/
Wow, that's almost just like me.
I basically only like games that are quick and hold my interest. I basically fell asleep in Zelda... and no I'm not stupid, it just bores me doing a series of tasks for some elf.
Zelda is the only game that I've ever seen get multiple reviews with a score of 100%.Originally Posted by Eif87

Duel Settled! Dual Actives Win
Powder versus liquid!
Light coverage versus medium coverage!
These are some of the inevitable battles many of my younger clients come in fighting every day. Whether you're just beginning to use makeup or your skin is changing and your makeup just isn't going on right anymore, you aren't always sure what product will be the best for your face.
Don't despair! Your makeup doesn't have to turn into an all out war. When considering coverage options, many times, I turn to Cinema Secrets Dual Active Foundations to help solve any uncertainty.
Dual Active Foundations are a pressed powder aloe-based compact that can go on dry to simply even out the skin tone. What makes it 'dual' is that it can also be wet to give a bit more coverage when needed, acting like a light liquid foundation that dries to a powder finish. This grants a light to medium coverage depending on application. Light application is achieved with a powder dusting and medium if you wet the compact cake before applying the makeup.
The most sensitive skin types (tweens, teens, men, and young adults) don't need much makeup. With youthful skin, less is always more and a little coverage tends to go a long way. Oily skin types can also benefit from Dual Active Foundation as the powder-base tends to absorb some of the excess oil that is produced Dual don't feel like you're really wearing makeup and can look very natural to the eye and the camera. I tend to avoid using these foundations if my clients have dry skin, acne problems or have concerns with fine lines, as powder bases tend to pronounce these sensitive issues. Also keep in mind that powder and liquid bases can't hold as much pigment as creams so if you need more coverage a cream makeup may be a better option for you.
The Dual Active compacts are handy purchase because they also come with a mirror and a separate compartment with an application sponge perfect for quick touch-ups. I always suggest picking up a few extra application sponges, so clients can change out the sponge when it starts to get over-used to help prevent bacteria build up and break-outs.
So in the end a makeup like Dual Active Foundations can give you a few options on how you can use and wear it. Wet or dry it's a quick way to step out putting your best face forward.

First, there are no assigned seats, yet everyone essentially sits in or around the exact same seat every time we travel. Second, the seating is fairly segregated, by choice, with the Latin players claiming the back of the bus and the Americans and other foreign players taking up the middle and front. And then, there are the coaches and trainers who sit in the front three seats on each side.
This may sound like an ugly scene of prejudice, but I assure you it is not, it is merely a case of people wanting to sit with those whom they can communicate with. I like to play with this whole system a little bit and do what I call "diversity day" in which I go sit in back half of the bus with "mis hermanos" and talk with them as best I can and play cards and share my music and listen to their music too. It always makes for a fun bus ride and sometimes more guys come back and join me in order to get in on the card games.
|I took a cell phone picture on the bus today because I forgot to bring my digital camera with me.
- Sleeping: this is a very popular "activity" amongst the guys. It doesn't matter what time of day or what amount of time we will be on the bus, from a ten minute ride to a two hour ride, at any given time you can look around and spot numerous players counting sheep with their mouth agape and drool gathering.
- Card Playing: Cards are huge in minor league baseball, they get played in the clubhouse, at the hotel and on the bus. Some of the favorite games are hearts, 13, gin, poker, blackjack and war. I am going to go out on a limb and say that 13 is by far the most popular game.
- Ipod: Listening to music is the most versatile activity that one can find on the bus as it is paired with just about every other possible activity that one does on a bus, whether its sleeping, talking, playing cards, going to the bathroom or just simply listening to music, just about everyone has a pair of headphones on/in no matter what they are doing.
- Talking/joking around/story telling: Some of the best stories are shared on bus rides when a two person conversation peeks the interest of your fellow passengers and suddenly your one-on-one conversation turns into a public discussion about stories from college or urban baseball legends and their validity. Another curious phenomenon is that the rule of six degrees of separation does not apply to the surprisingly small baseball world, I would adjust it to more of a one to two degrees of separation. No matter where you go in the country, when you first meet a new teammate you will quickly find that you know one of their teammates that they used to play with, it never ceases to amazes me.
-Eating: Self explanatory, and probably the most satisfying activity of them all, especially if you pair your eating with music.
A few final thoughts on odd occurrences on the buses.
- On the way home from our games, a few of our Latin players have a tendency to forget they are on a quiet bus and begin belting out, in Spanish, whatever song they are listening to in some of the funniest voices you have ever heard, high pitched, like really, really high pitched voices. Think bad American Idol tryouts and you'll get a good idea of what I'm talking about. I think its pretty funny and get a lot of entertainment out of it, some of the other guys think its annoying and tell them to shut up, which of course is not heard because they are so into their music.
- One would think that having the Air Conditioning on after playing a game in heat and humidity of Florida would be awesome and refreshing. Well, its refreshing for about five minutes until your jersey that is literally soaked turns into what feels like a freezing wet towel because of all the cold air blowing on it. You quickly go from refreshed to freezing cold and have to suffer the rest of the way home. I guess I should start planning ahead and bring a dry shirt to put on after the game, huh?
- The boarding of the bus is always an exciting prospect because there is the possibility of you getting your own seat and not having to double up with anyone. There are a select few "floaters" that change partners every ride. I suppose I am a floater of sorts. There are some effective techniques that are deployed to help assure yourself your own seat without having to share if you do not feel like sharing a seat on that given day: Act like you are asleep (this is very effective because most guys are courteous enough to know not to wake a sleeping ball player), have a bunch of stuff on the seat next to you, smell really bad (either by reputation or by demonstrating you have a bad case of gas), be a very large person, be a coach or trainer, or be the starting pitcher. If you have any suggestions, let me know, were always looking for new strategies.
Quick shout out to Mike Bolsenbroek, one of our tall and lanky pitchers, that is one of my regular seat mates on the bus. Even though we don't always sit next to each other, you're my fave man; good times!

E.N.T (Ear, Nose and Throat) is a specialization in the field of medical science which deals with problems related to ear, nose, throat, head and neck. Primarily, E.N.T deals with infections and disorders related to allergies, ear, nose and throat.
Eligibility for MD (ENT) Program: -
Career Prospects for an ENT Specialist:-
Colleges Offering E.N.T Courses / Programs: -
Once a student becomes an ENT specialist, income is certainly not an area one has to think about. The remuneration for an ENT specialist is mostly quite good. With becoming an ENT specialist one always has the luxury to become a general E.N.T doctor without getting involved in surgical procedures. So, students interested in the medicine field not desiring to engage in complex surgeries can definitely opt for this option.Do you like this story?

Independent if the user wants to pass a revocable capability, I believe the user wants or should want to pass a capability that implicitly records (either in a proxy or by using SPKI style cap as data) the action of delegation for accountability purposes in case of incidents. I am under the impression that the issues of proportional and dirrected incident response are under adressed in cap lit, but recording of delegation truegh proxied/bound delegation seems a relatively simple measure that seems to allow for it in a very solid way. If you can get the issue of accountability and incident response into the users way of thinking (what should not be that hard an abstraction to get used to), you could be reasonably sure that the user "will not" pass rights unexplicitly.

BOCA RATON, Fla. (May 21, 2013) – Florida Atlantic University recently received more than $2.5 million from the estate of the late Thomas Chastain, following the sale of a home in Palm Beach and land holdings in Martin County that he bequeathed to the University. Including this gift, Chastain has given more than $3 million to FAU.
"Thomas Chastain was a great friend to FAU over the years. We truly appreciate his generous giving, beginning in 1968, as well as this most recent gift, which will be used to support education, research and outreach programs," said Jennifer O'Flannery Anderson, Ph.D. '05, vice president of community engagement and executive director of the FAU Foundation."I'd also like to thank Ann Marie Rezzonico, Esq. and Harry A. Johnston II, Esq., for their professionalism and dedication in overseeing Mr. Chastain's estate and making his gift intentions to FAU a reality."
Chastain supported a variety of University interests, including history, botanical gardens, libraries, and environmental and urban solutions. In recognition of his generosity, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from FAU in 1977. In 2003, the Robert Lee Chastain and Thomas M. Chastain Charitable Foundation was honored as the FAU Library's "Friend of the Year" in appreciation for a $70,000 grant which enabled the Library to purchase 21 state-of-the-art computers, graphics software and a printer.
Gifts from Chastain's residual estate support education, research and outreach programs such as the Chastain-Johnston Middle Eastern Studies program and the Thomas Chastain Honors Scholarship in FAU's Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College. The Chastain Charitable Foundation also provided endowment funds for the Robert Lee & Thomas M. Chastain Symposium Lecture Series.
Bequests are one of the many planned giving options available through the FAU Foundation. For more information about planned giving, call 561-297-2119 or email email@example.com .

Classes in Python are how you make objects. The classes themselves are the blueprint for how an object is created. For example, here is a class called Duck. And it implements a couple of methods called quack and walk, so that when you create a duck object, that duck will quack like a duck and walk like a duck and that of course will make it a duck. An object is an instance of a class. That means that when you create an object, it's a separate thing.
It's separately encapsulated. It has all of its own attributes. So if you make several different objects from a given class, each of those different instance of the class, but they're all separately encapsulated and have their own data space, their own code space and are essentially their own objects. An object is an instance of a class. That means when you create an object, that object is built from the blueprint of the class, but it's its own object. Its own encapsulation. And so if you create several different objects from the same class, they're separately encapsulated.
They have their own data space and they have their own attributes, and they operate independently of one another. So in this case, we've created an object called donald from the Duck class. And we can say donald.quack and donald.walk. And donald will quack like a duck and will walk like a duck and therefore is a duck. Let's take a look at how this works in practice. So we'll start by making a working copy of classes.py, and we'll call it classes-working.py. Go ahead and open that working copy.
And we see we have our Duck class and we have donald. So if we go ahead and run this, you'll see that donald quacks like a duck and donald walks like a duck. So let's take a look at how this works. Class is the keyword that introduces the definition of a class. Duck here is the name of the class and then there is a colon, and so because there is a colon, you have things that are indented under this level. And those are the suite of the class definition.
And in this case we have two things inside the class. We have a function called quack and that function, because it has self as its first argument, is actually a method of the class. And we'll talk in a moment about how this works. Then we have walk, which is defined in the same way, and so that's another method. And then down here, when we create the object donald, we create the object donald by assigning it from Duck.
And Duck is the class definition. And so now donald is an object. And donald is an object of the class Duck. So if I were to just go here and I were to say print(donald), like that, save that and run it, then it says <__main__.Duck object at. And so donald is an object of the class Duck. So when I call the quack method, I use this dot operator and that dot operator is the attribute dereference operator.
That means that it's going to look inside the object donald for an attribute called quack. And because it has these parentheses on it, it's going to go ahead and call it as an object method. And so that will call this code, and it prints this quack, and donald.walk calls this code, and it prints that "Walks like a duck." So Duck is the class and that's all this stuff here, and donald is the object. He's an instance of Duck.
And you can call the methods inside donald. And so you can call the methods inside the donald object of class Duck using this dot notation. So that's how you define a class and create objects based on it in Python. Python is fundamentally an object-oriented language. And that means you're going to do this a lot. There are times when you just have a single thing that you want to do and you want to do it in a very simple way. And for that, you'll just create a function and you'll use a function.
Often you're going to want to do things that are more complicated and these more complicated things are going to have their own local data and they're going to have multiple methods that are tightly related to each other and interact with each other. And these are the times when we're going to go ahead and create a class and use objects. As you go through the process of writing programs in Python, especially if you've not worked with an object- oriented language before, you're going to see more and more cases where objects make sense.
If you're used to using functions a lot, you'll be creating a lot of functions for things, but over time as you get more familiar with the power and the flexibility and the encapsulation and inheritance of the different properties of objects that we're going to go through in this chapter, you're going to use objects more and more. And you'll end up using objects for a lot of the things that you used to use multiple functions for. So objects are very powerful. Python is a fundamentally object- oriented language, so you're going to use these techniques often as you write code in Python.

Call our Travel ExpertsAvailable 7 Days, 9am-10pm
Africa's smallest country, Gambia is like a miniature version of the Dark Continent. Gambia holidays mean lush tropical jungles; meandering rivers; hidden tribal villages; glistening palm-fringed beaches and an amazing variety of bird and animal life. We at Coop Travel have last minute holidays to Gambia that will whisk you there in just 6 hours.
The Gambians are a smiling, happy people with a culture as colourful as their birdlife. Gambia package holidays have become a popular option for those seeking an exotic African adventure, with the laid-back familiarity of a beach break. Until recently, bargain holidays to Gambia were an unknown concept – until the Gambians saw the sense of opening up their beautiful country to visitors. The result was a range of authentically designed luxury beach resorts along the Atlantic coast. However, Gambia is one big nature reserve. Wherever you book Gambia package holidays, they invariably include trips up the Gambia River, to attractions like Abuko Nature Reserve.
Cheap holidays are available in exotically-named resorts like Bijilo Beach, Kololi and Banjul, an island capital at the mouth of the river. While late deals in Gambia revolve around the beach resorts, the country has been welcoming visitors for centuries. Established by the British in 1816, Banjul is rich in culture and heritage, with fine colonial buildings, museums, craft centres and a colourful harbour.
For many people, bargain holidays to Gambia mean the beaches. Banjul's attractive, self-contained resorts offer soft sands, lush gardens and beautiful views of the ocean and river. Boat trips, fishing and bird-watching treks are just some of the activities on offer. The hotels offer everything in the way of wining, dining and entertainment, but for a change of scene there are some lively beach bars along the coast.
For a fun-packed time, look for Gambia holiday offers in Kololi, Gambia's liveliest beach resort. This town has it all – beautiful palm-fringed beaches, water-sports; golf, a casino and endless bars, restaurants and nightclubs. For peace and tranquillity, however at Co op Travel we recommend Bijilo, nearby.
Being a member of The Midcounties Co-operative is now worth more than ever.

Profiles: Steve Nash | Shaquille O'Neal
O'Neal reacts to controversy surrounding "Shaq Vs."
The most entertaining part of the new reality show, "Shaq Vs."? The credits.
Tuesday's debut, which featured Shaquille O'Neal taking on Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in football, was a tad long and a bit contrived. It became decidedly more interesting, though, when the credits rolled and this name popped up as one of the executive producers:
Steve Nash.
There's an interesting back story here, one that explains in part some of the fractured relationships that defined the Suns' struggles last season.
O'Neal stole Nash's idea.
Shortly after O'Neal was traded to the Suns in February 2008, Nash mentioned to his new teammate a reality show he was pursuing. It would feature the Suns point guard taking on professional athletes in their own sport.
The topic didn't come up again until early in the 2008-09 season, when O'Neal boarded the Suns bus and told the team he would be starring in a new reality show in which he would be taking on, you got it, professional athletes in their own sport.
"You mean the idea you stole from me?" one Suns representative said he heard Nash say.
Nash eventually sought out an entertainment lawyer, according to sources, which is why he now has an executive-producer credit and the compensation that comes with it.
When reached Wednesday, Nash would not confirm the story.
"We collaborated on parts of the show," he said. "I support him 100 percent. I thought the first episode was a fantastic episode, and I can't wait for the next one."
That's something you would expect Nash to say. He often has played the role of locker-room peacemaker. He is known as a teammate who diffuses tough situations before they escalate.
In reality, a source close to Nash said, "Steve was pissed. He couldn't believe Shaq's lack of integrity."
The experience set the tone for some shaky chemistry on the court. Off it, Nash found himself in a difficult situation, trying to co-exist with a teammate who had blindsided him.
"He's moved on," the source said. "He really does want the show to succeed."
Calls made to O'Neal's representatives were not returned.
Being a teammate of O'Neal's is a bit like falling into the rabbit hole.
Several years ago, when O'Neal played for Miami, he referred to Nash's back-to-back MVP awards as "tainted." He later back-pedaled.
The 2008-09 season was trying from the start. The team struggled under new coach Terry Porter's deliberate system. In December, the Suns traded one of Nash's best friends, Raja Bell, with Boris Diaw, to Charlotte for Jason Richardson and Jared Dudley.
During the All-Star break, they fired Porter and replaced him with assistant Alvin Gentry, who steered the Suns back to their up-tempo ways. Several days after Gentry took over, All-Star power forward Amar� Stoudemire underwent season-ending surgery to repair a detached retina.
The Suns were out of the playoffs for the first time in five years.
Here's a hunch that when the Suns decided to trade O'Neal to Cleveland in late June, it helped Nash arrive at his decision to sign an extension with the Suns a month later.
Here's a hunch that chemistry on this team will be better in the 2009-10 season, too.
Nash enjoys playing for Gentry and is happy his friend Grant Hill is back. He'll have his pick-and-roll mate, Stoudemire, and an offense that should be more fluid.
Nash might be 35, but let's not forget he recently became the first NBA player to shoot more than 50 percent from the floor, 90 percent from the line and 40 percent from 3-point range for three consecutive seasons.
How long "Shaq Vs." lasts remains to be seen. It landed a 2.7 rating locally, which means approximately 48,670 Phoenix homes tuned in to the ABC show. NBC's "America's Got Talent" received a 7.6 rating locally, and CBS's "Big Brother" took a 3.9 rating.
In future shows, O'Neal is scheduled to compete against swimmer Michael Phelps, boxer Oscar De La Hoya and tennis star Serena Williams.
O'Neal might have other battles in his future as well. Author Todd Gallagher says the show is a rip-off of his book, "Andy Roddick Beat Me with a Frying Pan," according to TMZ, and is pursuing legal action.
"Shaq Vs." is a reality show, but O'Neal's life more resembles a drama.
The Suns are better off without it.

NEW YORK - Before Jake Diekman walks to the bullpen, the place where he honed a twisting motion to generate the hardest fastball thrown by any lefthanded reliever in baseball, he will ascend the dugout steps Sunday and join a line of his Phillies teammates.
The public-address announcer at Citi Field will ask fans to remove their hats.
Diekman does not remember the last thing he said to his mother, Billie, before she suffered a heart attack Feb. 4, 2007, and died in a Nebraska hospital. For years, it tormented him. That is why phone fights with his father now linger no more than five minutes before one calls the other to apologize.

Don't throw away those old CDs! Instead, create an Upcycled Cupcake Stand from Tiffany Windsor that you can display on your kitchen table. Upcycled crafts ideas are great for saving money and repurposing items you already have. This is the perfect project for a party!
- Aleene's Platinum Bond 7800 All Purpose Adhesive
- CD's
- Crop-A-dile
- Glass stand (I've used glass vases, candle holders, votives, glass lampshades)
- Rubbing alcohol and paper towel
- Spray paint ( I used flat white)
- Embellishments (I used earring backs, flat head pins and beads)
- If you want bead drops on your stand, determine spacing along outside edge of CD. Mark and punch holes.
- I found the coolest glassware at my local thrift store which included votives, candle stands, vases, glass lampshades and more. Clean your glassware with soap and water. Dry completely and wipe with rubbing alcohol to remove any greasy residue.
- Apply Aleene's Platinum Bond 7800 to top of glassware.
- Lay face down onto back of CD. Let glue dry overnight.
- I like to spray my stands with a flat white spray paint like this example. Then if you decide that you want to paint another color or collage over the surface (or leave them white like I did), you have a nice base to start from. Be sure to use blue masking tape to cover any areas of your glassware that you want to remain clear (I did that on the tall cupcake stand.) Once your paint is dry, insert bead drops.
- On this stand, I glued earring backs along the outside edge of the CD before I spray painted.

To the Editor: Dr Pletcher and colleagues1 studied the association between marijuana and pulmonary function over 20 years. Although all survey analyses can be limited by recall bias,2 the risk of bias in this study may be greater than usual. Cognitive deficits may exist in chronic marijuana users that are dose-dependent, with higher doses leading to poorer recall.3,4 Such decline in long-term memory may result in inaccurate recollection of smoking frequency, particularly during the 10-year intervals between interviews in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study population.

Acorda Therapeutics said today it won a $2.67 million contract from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Material Command (USAMRMC) to support development of AC105 as a treatment for acute spinal cord injury (SCI).
The contract will help fund a Phase II clinical trial designed primarily to assess the safety and tolerability of AC105 in patients with acute SCI. The company plans to open enrollment for this study in the first half of this year.
AC105, a modified form of magnesium, has shown neuroprotective properties and improvement of locomotor function in SCI in preclinical studies, once therapy was initiated within several hours of injury. FDA has granted fast-track designation for AC105 to improve functional recovery of acute SCI patients.
Acorda said in a statement that it expects to apply for FDA orphan drug designation for acute treatment of SCI, and will explore orphan drug designations in Europe and elsewhere in the world.
Acorda licenses worldwide development and commercialization rights to AC105 from Medtronic, which carried out the drug candidate's Phase I study. Under a 2011 agreement, Acorda paid Medtronic $3 million up-front, and agreed to pay up to $32 million tied to regulatory and development milestones. If Acorda successfully commercializes AC105, the company will also pay Medtronic a single-digit sales royalty.
Acorda's rights are exclusive for indications of interest to the company—including SCI, traumatic brain injury, stroke, and all other traumatic and ischemic central nervous system indications. Medtronic and Acorda share nonexclusive development rights in other specific areas, including certain areas of pain and musculoskeletal indications.
At the time, Acorda said it acquired rights to AC105 as a complement to its lead neuregulin drug candidate, Glial Growth factor 2 (GGF2), as well as to the company's preclinical programs in remyelination and spinal cord injury. Acorda envisions AC105 for several nervous system and cardiac indications including heart failure, peripheral nerve damage, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and SCI.
Last month, the company completed its first Phase I clinical trial of GGF2, which explored the drug's safety and tolerability in heart failure patients.

'Honda Smart Home US' to showcase environmental innovation
American Honda Motor has announced a plan to create the Honda Smart Home US, a showcase for environmental innovation and renewable-energy enabling technologies.
The US subsidiary of the Japanese auto giant says the project demonstrates Honda's vision for sustainable, zero-carbon living and personal mobility, including the use of solar power to charge a Honda Fit battery-driven electric vehicle.
A ground-breaking at the construction site on the campus of the University of California, Davis, marked the start of the building process, which will be documented and shared through the Honda Smart Home US website.
"As an academic leader in sustainability research, UC Davis is proud to be the site of this innovative research home, which will take us to the next level of energy research and deployment," the university said.
The hi-tech sustainable home will demonstrate an approach to meeting the state of California's goal of requiring all new residential construction to be "zero net energy" by 2020.
It is expected to produce more energy than it consumes, using less than half of the energy of a similarly sized new home in the Davis area for heating, cooling and lighting.
Comprehensive control
The Honda Smart Home will also give its occupants comprehensive control over all home systems, allowing residents to remotely and continually monitor and adjust all aspects of energy use in real time.
Among the many technologies that will be applied to the Honda Smart Home US are a solar-power system, a Honda energy-management system, high-efficiency heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, and a lighting system designed by US Davis, and direct solar PV-to-vehicle charging.
The home will be designed to achieve top-level green building certifications from the major US rating systems.
With a holistic approach to sustainability, it will feature passive design elements as well as novel materials to further reduce CO2 emissions from the production of building materials and the construction and operation of the home.
Honda anticipates construction of the Honda Smart Home, at a site in the UC Davis West Village development, to be completed by the end of this year.
The home will be leased to individuals associated with UC Davis, though further details have not been finalised.
Last year, Honda unveiled the Honda Smart Home System in the Japanese city of Saitama.
The HSHS project includes two homes: one is a demonstration-only home, while the other serves as a residence for Honda associates.
Both feature comprehensive controls of in-house energy supply and demand, and help manage both the generation and consumption of energy for the home.
"With Honda Smart Home US we will showcase our vision for a lifestyle that produces zero CO2, and that could even save consumers money," said Steve Center, vice president of the Environmental Business Development Office of American Honda Motor.
"Home energy use and personal mobility account for most of an individual's carbon emissions. By addressing both sources together, we are advancing technologies that will reduce carbon and eventually transform home design," he added.
"We [at UC Davis] are excited by the opportunity for our scientists to test new ideas for integrated and commercially viable carbon-reduction technologies," said Nicole Woolsey Biggart, director of the university's Energy Efficiency Centre.

Neil Patrick Harris, who came out in November, said Thursday he was shocked to hear that Isaiah Washington had repeated a gay slur at the Golden Globes – but thought that those involved in the Grey's Anatomy controversy have mostly dealt with the situation well.
"I was just sort of stunned that anyone would want to rehash any of that again. But I think the people, the classier people, handled it as they always do," the How I Met Your Mother star told reporters at the Television Critics Association conference at the Ritz-Carlton in Pasadena, Calif.
Things happen behind the scenes on TV shows, but they don't have to harm the finished product, said the 33-year-old actor.
"Everyone's grown up, and the most important thing is that we're contracted to work and have jobs," he said. "So the personal stuff, the personality conflicts and the fist-fights on-set, although they are interesting water-cooler talk, they don't really affect the way you watch every episode of that show."
Washington has been under fire for using a slur to refer to gay costar T.R. Knight on-set in October, and then repeating the word at the Globes on Monday night. On Thursday he apologized for his behavior. The earlier incident prompted Knight to come out.
Meanwhile, John Mayer has also weighed in on the controversy on his blog, saying he suggests as that Washington should be forced to play a gay man on Grey's as punishment for his derogatory comments.
"What better way for an actor to get to the roots of his discrimination than by portraying the very the subject of his own ire for the remainder of his contract?" writes Mayer.
Also at the press conference Thursday Harris, who made his name on the 1980s show Doogie Howser, M.D. spoke about his exclusive announcement to PEOPLE in November that he is gay – the reasons for it and the reactions to it.
"It's been a bit of a non-story to be honest," he said. "The one thing I didn't want was to have to make a statement in retaliation or in response to some quasi-scandalous event, because you never want to be defensive. And so I felt that there was this sort of kindling burning underneath, and a story was being searched for, and I just never wanted to live my life in a way where I was backdooring and cowering and trying to, like, avoid. And so I think the statement that I made sort of quieted the speculation."
And the public's reaction? Harris says – happily – that it's been no big deal. "It was either people were like, 'Yeah, I heard that' or 'Oh, really ... interesting,' " he says. "And I think that speaks well to our society today."

I have gotten a old Mac PowerBook 1400cs from a friend of mine. The
hard disk is either corrupt or damaged. We get the floppy simbol with
question mark or x.
So we wanted to try booting it off the floppy and see if it possible to
see the hard disk, etc. He misplaced the Mac OS disks/disc. No CD-ROM
drive on the notebook either.
I downloaded System 7.5 Network Access boot image from Apple. Also
tried a System 6.0.8 boot image. But I don't have any DOS/Windows
machine with floppy drives to use rawrite with. The only computer I
have with a floppy drive attached is running Ubuntu Linux 5.1. So I
tried the following command on it:
dd if="Network Access.image" of=/dev/fd0
This command caused the floppy drive to chur away for a few minutes. It
seem to have written stuff to the floppy disk. But reported an
input/output error. And the final floppy does not boot on the Mac
"mount /media/floppy0" also causes the Linux OS to report that it is
unable to determine the file system type.
Does anyone know how to write the boot image to a floppy in Linux? Is
there some arguments that I should have provided to "dd" to write the
raw file correctly? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
