THE INTENSE YOUNG COUPLE IN THE RESTAURANT is enjoying one of those Kodak moments of marital bliss: trying to balance spoons on the tips of their noses. On hers, the utensil dangles as delicately as a Christmas tree ornament. On his, well, balancing the federal budget would be easier. "What can you possibly have on your nose that I don't have?" actor-comedian Paul Reiser asks his Mad About You costar Helen Hunt. The actress smirks and fires a couple of sugar packets his way, knocking Reiser's spoon off its precarious proboscidian perch. This means war. To and fro the packets fly, until director Tom Moore steps in and snaps, "Okay, we're ready. Let's try it." As Hunt calmly sets her spoon down, Reiser turns to her and says, drolly, "I'm very impressed with you, Helen."
With that, Reiser (pronounced WRY-zer), 38, and Hunt, 30, better known to TV audiences as married Manhattanites Paul and Jamie Buchman, prepare to shoot this scene in the restaurant—actually, a passable replica of a neighborhood eater)' on the Culver City soundstage, where the second-season finale of their NBC sitcom (airing May 19) is being filmed.
It's the teasing, intimate interplay between Reiser and Hunt that has helped make Mad not only a Top 30 Nielsen hit but a shrewd commentary on yuppie wedlock, '90s-style—as well as other stales of the union. "I get stopped by 65-year-olds who say they can relate to the show," says Reiser (who, like his friend and Thursday-night neighbor Jerry Seinfeld, is also a producer and writer of his own show). "Gay couples say, 'Boy, is that us!' When you do something small and honest, everybody can relate to it."
No one can relate better than Reiser's real-life wife of nearly six years, Paula, a psychotherapist with whom he shares a three-bedroom house in the Hollywood Hills. In one early episode, Hunt, in character, imitated Reiser's mildly manic delivery. "I remember hearing Paula laughing out in the audience," says Hunt, who, never wed herself, was a friend of Paula's even before Paul asked her to audition at their home. Paula readily admits there are similarities between her two Pauls. "They are both witty and thoughtful, and both get confused a lot," she says. Well, the mixture of life and art does get confusing. One night the Reisers lay in bed discussing an episode about an argument between the Buchmans. "I can't believe you thought he wasn't wrong!" Paula said. "Suddenly," says Reiser, "we laughed, because our argument was like literally page 22 of the script."
Reiser's life might have followed an entirely different script. He could have wound up as the world's funniest health-food distributor. That was his father Sam's profession—and career goal for Paul, who grew up in New York City's Stuyvesant Town with three older sisters. The whole family, says Reiser, including his mother, Helen, a homemaker, had a wry sense of humor. Paul thought he could make a living from it on the standup circuit. But as the dutiful son, after graduating from the State University of New York at Binghamton with a BFA in music in 1977, he spent the next hectic year working for his father hustling sprouts and granola while moonlighting in Manhattan's comedy clubs—and, he admits, "doing both badly."
So despite the misgivings of his father (who died in 1989), Reiser left the family business and began performing full-time. Over the next two years, he honed his act while hanging out with Seinfeld and two other young comics, Larry Miller and Mark Schiff, both of whom occasionally appear on Mad About You. Dubbed by reporters the Funniest Men in the World Club, the foursome made a ritual—which they still observe—of having lunch together every New Year's Day for the past 14 years. For auld lang syne they even moved the lunch to London in 1985, when Reiser was on location there filming Aliens.
Acting hadn't been in the script either. But one day in 1981, Reiser and an actor friend had set out to buy socks at Macy's. On the way, his pal dropped off some portrait shots at a casting director's office. Reiser began to banter with the secretary, who was so impressed she got him an appointment with her boss. He, in turn, brought Reiser to the attention of director Barry Levinson. Together they fashioned the plummy role of Modell, the moodier clown in Levinson's acclaimed 1983 buddy comedy, Diner. Still, he kept his night job, and during a tour in Pittsburgh in 1982, he met Paula, who was waiting tables at a local comedy club while studying for her psychology degree. They hit it off instantly. After Aliens (in which he played a slick yuppie villain) and Beverly Hills Cop I and II, Reiser moved to Los Angeles in 1983. Paula soon followed and completed her advanced degree in Los Angeles. They married in 1988. Meanwhile, Reiser had landed a TV series, My Two Dads, in which he and Greg Evigan played bachelor fathers to teenager Staci Keanan. The NBC sitcom lasted three seasons—long enough for Reiser, who had fans come up and say, "My 9-year-old daughter loves your show."
His aim was to do a series for an older audience. Paired at Tri-Star with writer-producer Danny Jacobson (Roseanne), Reiser began pitching a show to the networks that he described as "thirtysomething, only shorter and funnier." The result: Mad About You, about which Reiser remains manifestly maniacal. So much so that, even with a busy summer ahead (he is finishing a book akin to Seinfeld's best-seller Seinlanguage and filming Bye Bye Love, a big-screen romantic comedy about three divorcing fathers), it's hard for Reiser—and consequently Paula—to escape from the Buchmans for long. "Even when we're relaxing and rejuvenating," says Reiser, "I'm sitting there thinking, 'Wow! What about an episode where a couple is so tired, they can't talk to each other!' "

Grandma Versus The Toddler
Posted By Marti on October 1, 2011
To me, the thing about birthday parties is that the first birthday party you have and the last birthday party you have are actually quite similar. You know, you just kinda sit there… you're the least excited person at the party. You don't even really realize that there is a party. You don't know what's going on. Both birthday parties, people have to kinda help you blow out the candles, you can't do it… you don't even know why you're doing it. What is this ritual? What is going on? It's also the only two birthday parties where other people have to gather your friends together for you. Sometimes they're not even your friends. They make the judgement. They bring 'em in, they sit 'em down, and they tell you – "these are your friends! Tell them thank you for coming to my birthday party". ~Jerry Seinfeld
Ain't it the truth! I've come to realize there are many similarities between the beginning of our life and the end. Grandma and a toddler both:
Have a short attention span
Get cranky without a nap
Eat a lot of soft foods
Like to wear jewelry but need help with the clasps
Want me to hold their hand crossing the street
Have to let someone else fasten their seat belt
Speak their own language, making up words for things
Don't understand pop culture
Sometimes wet their pants
Can you think of some more? 🙂

So funny, Marti.
I still recognize my birthday, but those other items fit.
Can we add: Need help tying shoes and picking things up from the floor.
Had a good laugh over this. I love it! It's so true. Another similarity is having things explained to you even when you don't need it and people talk to you in a slow pace.
Thanks man for that text. It was trully interesting. I'm adding your blog to my RSS agregator.
That's a great article. We would like to say thanks for sharing your idea's. I will for sure bookmark your page.
Hey! This post could not be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this write-up to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving weekend Marti!

I'm Thankful for "Old" friends…. I hope my last birthday wasn't my LAST but its a bit like my first… I don't remember much about either of them.
Thats really funny and I do remember Sienfeld saying that somewhere. And it reminds me to tell my 4yr yr old to take a nap before he drives me up a wall!
Hey! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to check it out. I'm definitely loving the information. I'm bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers!

4 out of 10 (2 out of 10 on Short Walk)
This High Weald walk passes through classic Weald countryside of rolling hills, woods, hop fields and orchards. A highlight of this walk is arriving at Bodiam Castle for tea, a perfect picture of a castle, nestling in the Rother Valley, with the hooting of the steam trains of the Rother Valley Railway nearby. From there the route continues on a gently undulating course to Salehurst, before a leisurely finish back into Robertsbridge.
|Walk Options
You may reduce the length of the standard walk by over 4km to 14km (8.7 miles) by following the Short walk directions and then pick up the Standard walk directions from [6]
Alternatively you may catch the 254 bus (Mon - Sat hourly service until 17.20), from outside the road entrance to Bodiam castle. (west side - Castle Inn pub side of the road ) to Wadhurst and Tunbridge Wells railway stations. Traveline 0870 6082608.
Alternative walk back to Robertsbridge along the river Rother If you would prefer to end the walk with a flat easy walk back into Robertsbridge from Bodiam castle, then follow the Alternative walk directions back to Robertsbridge from [6]. This applies to all three walks, standard, short and long and reduces the length of each walk by 0.5km. Please note between mid May and mid September the 700 metre footpath along the embankment of the river Rother can become extremely overgrown. It is thus advisable not to take this alternative walk ending from Bodiam castle in summertime.

Robertsbridge Circular via Hurst Green walk
This is a new alternative for the Roberstbridge Circular walk (or Stonegate to Robertsbridge long walk). It is a detour from the original route to have lunch in Hurst Green.
Bodiam Castle (tel 01580 830436, www.nationaltrust.org.uk) Built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrygge as a defence against attacks from France. England was at the time seriously under threat from a possible invasion and had suffered a number of raids, Rye and Winchelsea having both been sacked and burned in 1377. Bodiam being on the river Rother and 14 miles upstream from Winchelsea was consequently vulnerable to such raiding parties. However by the end of the 14th century this threat had very much reduced and the castle took on more the role of a comfortable home for the Dalyngrygge family. The only action that the castle saw was during the Civil War (1642-51) when the interior was more or less gutted after which the castle was left to deteriorate. A local Squire, John 'Mad Jack' Fuller, rescued the Castle in 1828, paying £3000 to save it from destruction. Although it was not until it was purchased in 1916 by Lord Curzon, who embarked on an extensive restoration and research programme that the fortunes of the castle truly improved. Lord Curzon bequeathed the castle to the National Trust. The castle is open 10am - 6pm, daily from March until October. 10am - 4pm, Saturdays and Sundays from November to February.
St Mary's Church, Salehurst was built largely during the 13th century, and has portions of early and later styles of English architecture. It is noted for its north and south aisles of seven bays each, dated from the 13th century.
|Suggested Train
Take the train nearest to 9.50am (before or after) from Charing Cross station to Robertsbridge. Journey time is just over an hour. Trains back from Robertsbridge run once an hour.
|By car
Robertsbridge station car park currently costs £2.00 weekdays and is free at weekends.
Standard and Long walks The suggested lunchtime place is The White Horse Inn (tel 01580 860235), SilverHill, 5km (standard), 13km (long) from the start of the walk, which serves inventive food (M, W, Th - 12 to 3pm; F, Sa, Su - all afternoon; Tu - no food) and has a large west facing garden.

- Recommended HVLP atomizing sets: .043 -.051 tip and nozzle, No. 9 -10 air cap. Click here for a guide for spray tip sizes.
- Air-Assisted or airless: 0.009" - 0.012" tip.
Clear Lacquer is a fast drying clear acrylic finish, formulated for spraying.
USE: Interior only
SHEENS: Flat, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss.
SANDING: Sand bare wood to 220 grit
COATS: 3 coats (additional coats can be applied depending on use)
RECOAT: 1-2 hours
CURE TIME: Cure time for all General Finishes products is about 14 days under ideal conditions (70 and 70% humidity). However, this may vary slightly with humidity & temperature. Good ventilation, air movement and higher temperatures will accelerate dry time.
APPLICATION: Lacquer is spray only, but can be padded on small areas such as face fronts. Lacquer has excellent flow, and level, for light duty wear items.
CLEANUP: Soap and warm water
COVERAGE: 600 sq. ft/gal
CAN SIZES: Quart, Gallon
SPRAY TIP SIZES RECOMMENDED: Compressed Air .040, HVLP .043-.051, Airless .009-.013. Air caps should be medium size.
VISCOSITY: 40-50 Sec, Ford #4
VOC: <188g/l (1.57 lbs/gal.) ACTUAL VOC: <50 g/l (.042 lbs/gal) LOW VOC, LOW ODOR
ADDITIVES: Extender: adds more open time. Accelerator: quickens dry time.
COMPATIBILITY: Can be used over: General Finishes Sanding Sealer, White (or Black) Undercoat (or Poly), Wood Stains, Dye Stains, RTM Stains, Glazes, and Milk Paint.
RECOMMENDED USES: Ideal for furniture, millwork, and wood projects.
CAN I THIN LACQUER? Yes, a small amount of water or GF Extender will thin product. Reduce only by 5 % increments, it is best to use the correct recommended spray tip size instead. Spray tip sizes recommended: Compressed Air .040, HVLP .043-.051, Airless .009-.013. Air caps should be medium size.
CAN I BRUSH ON LACQUER? No, it is a spray on product only. You could pad on a small areas such as molding frames, but larger areas would be hard to level. Use Extender to help wet out when brushing on 15-20%. If you need a brush on product, use GF High Performance.
IS IT RECOMMENDED TO USE LACQUER OVER ANY OTHER GF TOPCOATS? Although you can apply Lacquer over other Enduro items (such as Clear Poly, High Performance, Pre-Cat, or Sanding Sealer) it is not recommended. Most of these products are more heavy duty than the Lacquer. Do not use over Enduro-Var, the two are not compatible.
WHAT GF STAINS CAN I USE THE LACQUER OVER? GF Water Base: wood stains, dye, RTM, glazes, and Milk Paints. GF Oil Base: liquid or gel stains (as long as they have been dry 24-48 hours).
DO I NEED TO STRAIN BEFORE SPRAYING? Yes, it is recommended to strain product through a fine mesh prior to spraying.
HOW THICK DO YOU RECOMMEND SPRAYING THE CLEAR POLY? 3-5 mil thickness and spray medium wet films. Heavy wet films will take longer to cure and dry down.
CAN I USE LACQUER OVER OTHER UNKNOWN FINISHES? Yes, but clean all areas first with a 50% denatured alcohol and 50% water mixture (scuff with a Scotch Brite pad). Let dry, then sand with a 3M (superfine) soft backed sanding sponge. Also, when going over unknown items always test a small area to make sure product is adhering well.
WILL ENDURO LACQUER ADD ANY COLOR IF I SPRAY IT OVER THE GF WHITE POLY? It will add minimum color. Do a test to check the difference, there will be very little color change. This is our most water white topcoat.
CAN LACQUER BE USED FOR TINTING OR TONING? For tinting we recommend GF Enduro Poly. Poly has higher solids and works better for tinting. Poly is available in white or clear and can be tinted any color as a pigmented topcoat. For Toning the Lacquer, or Poly, use GF Dye Stain, Wood Stain, RTM Stain, or Trans Tints. Add 5%-10% GF Dye to tint. Apply 2 coats half strength vs. 1 heavy tinted topcoat. The color will look more even with less chance of overlaps and runs with a diluted tint.
HOW MANY COATS ARE RECOMMENDED? Depending on use, 3 coats minimum. Enduro Poly or Conversion Varnish is recommended for high moisture or heavy wear items.
HOW LONG DOES THE LACQUER TAKE TO CURE? Cure time for all General Finishes products is about 14 days under ideal conditions (70 and 70% humidity). However, this may vary slightly with humidity & temperature. Good ventilation, air movement and higher temperatures will accelerate dry time.
ARE GF PRODUCT COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER BRANDS? A good rule of thumb is Dont mix brands. It might work, it might not. We can't troubleshoot results if you use another manufacturer's products with ours.

Within the last 20 years, diagnostic digital modalities in dentistry, including periapical, bitewing, panoramic and cephalometric imaging, have been replacing conventional (filmbased) radiography. Drawbacks of two-dimensional (2-D) imaging include inherent magnification, distortion and overlap of anatomy. As early as the 1920s, manufacturers attempted to overcome the problems of 2-D imaging by devising movement of the source and
receptor in opposite directions to produce tomographic "slices" of oral and maxillofacial anatomy; this process is termed as "linear" or multidirectional tomography" which led to the introduction of micro CT (computed tomography), CBCBT, (Cone beam computed tomography), OCT(Optical coherence tomography) and " Tuned aperture tomography"(TACT). These techniques are as follows:-
Computed Tomogaphy uses a fan shaped beam and multiple exposure around an object to reveal the internal architecture of the object. In this way the clinician can view the morphological features as well as pathology from different three dimensional perspectives. However, if ratio opaque materials are present, there can be scattering and creation of artifacts which can significantly hamper visualization.1
Cone Beam Computed Tomography(CBCT) orVolumetric CT a relatively new diagnostic imaging modality, has been used in endodontic imaging recently. This modality uses a cone beam instead of a fan shaped beam acquiring images of entire volume. It offers high resolution , isotropic images for effective evaluation of root canal morphology.2
Optical Coherence Tomography is a new diagnostic imaging technology that was first introduced in 1991.3OCT combines the principles of an ultrasound with the imaging performance of a microscope. OCT uses infra red light waves that reflect off the internal micro structure within the biological tissues. Using the principle of low –coherence interferometery it achieves depth resolution of the order of 10ìm and in plane resolution similar to the optical microscope. By scanning the probe along the imaged specimen while acquiring image lines, a two dimensional or three dimensional image is built up
Tuned Aperture Computed Tomography (TACT) is a flexible 3D imaging method that converts any number of 3D projections produced from any number of arbitrary or even unknown projection source positions and angles into a true 3D image. The image produced is similar to viewing the original object with unlimited visual access through a window or aperture whose size is determined by the original projection. Such 3D displays could be useful for caries/ demineralization detection and in the determination of root fractures especially vertical fractures.Three dimensional technology enables reconstructions, with suitable enhancement and refining of the digital image, form upto 7 images of the region of interest at different angles. At the moment the development of TACT in dentistry is centered on using a panoramic system as the radiation source.4,5,6
Ultrasonography With Color Doppler
Ultrasonography can give an idea about the nature and dimension of lesion which helps in pre-operative assessment and treatment planning.7,8
How ever, here we are discussing the most commonly used techniques and presenting case reports in relation to them.
Computed Tomogaphy
CT endodontic applications were first reported by Tachibana and Natsumoto in 1990.9 They reported that CT had only limited usefulness in endodontics as a result of inadequate image detail and a high cost. However one distinct advantage of CT is that it allow for 3-D construction of root canal systems (RCSs).10 3D information along with tactile feedback during instrumentation gives the clinician more understanding of true
morphology of RCSs.
Some CT software programs add colour enhancement features to highlight pathological lesions from normal anatomic structures. CT images have the ability to show the slices of the given tissue, with each tissue thickness and location chosen by the operator. Therefore CT would enable the operator to look at the multiple slices of tooth roots and there RCSs.1 CT has been suggested as the preferential imaging modality in difficult situations demanding localistaion and description of RCSs because of its ability to render 3D information.11
Micro CT has been evaluated in endodontic imaging. Comparison of the effects of biomechanical preparation on canal volume on reconstructed root canals in vitro using micro CT shown to assist with characterization of morphological changes associated with these techniques.12,13
Micro CT imaging of filled root canals showed it to be a highly accurate and non destructive method of evaluation of root canal filling and their constituents. Qualitative and quantitative correlation between histological and micro CT examination of root canals filling was high.13,14
CT may play an important role in optimizing palatal root end surgery through vestibular access, with regards to precision and preventing complications, with relatively low biological and economic cost, also possibly contributing to the affirmation of the new procedure.12Ebihara et al incorporated with 3D construction in the diagnosis and monitoring of the case of Garres's osteomyelitis managed by root canal treatment of a mandibular 2nd molar.15
Traditional radiographs could only determine the mesiodistal extent of the pathology and not the buccolingual extent16.trope et al in 1989 for the first time used CT scans for the differentiation of radicular cysts and granulomas. A cyst could be differentiated from the periapical granuloma by CT scans because of marked difference in density between the contents of the cyst cavity and granulomatous tissue.17
A major concern with the use of CT scan is its high radiation dosage. In a study18 guidelines by Cristoph et al19were use, using these guidelines, effective radiation dosage reduced by this method was 0.56+/-0.06mGy, which was equivalent to a standard panoramic radiograph. The result of the study indicate that CT scan and ultrasound with power Doppler flowmetry can provide additional or alternate but more accurate diagnosis of periapical lesion with validity equivalent to histopathological diagnosis.
CT used to evaluate root canals prepared by nickel titanium(NITI)hand and steel hand endodontic instruments showed that the system used in the study provided a repeatable no invasive method of evaluating certain aspects of endodontic instrumentation.20
This report presents two cases of diagnosis of radix entomolaris and detection of mesiobuccal two (MB2) canal in retreatment case by spiral computerized tomography. In both the cases strict adherence to ALARA(as low as reasonably achievable) principle of radiation dose were maintained.
Case Report
A 23 year old male patient reported to the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Seema Dental College & Hospital, Rishikesh with a complaint of severe tenderness on biting pressure. Intraoral periapical radiograph revealed a small carious lesion in the distal surface of right mandibular first molar (46) with a periodontal pocket of 3.5mm probing depth. Two outlines of distal roots are appreciated on a digital radiograph captured with Kodak CCD software. After obtaining a written consent from the patient a mandibular plane spiral CT (SOMATOM, ACCULITE SOFTWAE) was done with a pitch of 0.05mm. Spiral
CT images clearly shown a distoloingual root (Radix entomolaris) in the involved tooth.
Ultrasonography With Color Doppler
Ultrasound with a colour Doppler is a proven, useful and non invasive diagnostic tool in endodontics. Periapical lesions accompanying endodontic infection are usually diagnosed and treated based on the initial radiological findings.21 Sometimes periapical surgery is necessary to eliminate and diagnose the cystic and non cystic nature of the lesion.
CASE REPORT WITH COLOR DOPPLER AND ULTRASONOGRAPHY Case Report :(FIG 4-9)
A 22 yr old male patient reported to the department of conservative dentistry and endodontics with a chief complaint of pain and swelling in maxillary anterior region. Periapical radiograph showed a large radioluscent area in the region of 21, 22.
An ultrasound examination was performed using the diagnostic ultrasound machine, HLS 9ED SONOACE 8000 LIVE*/ EX PRIME (Medison America Inc. USA) with color doppler function, incorporating a high definition, multifrequency ultrasonic Probe ( 3D 3 5EK probe ) operating at a frequency of 0.60KHz (90 decibel). The probe position was changed in order to obtain transverse scans (axial plane) and longitudinal; scans (saggital plane).
Colour Doppler was applied to detect internal vascularisation. The image was analysed by an expert ultrasonographer. A tentative differential diagnosis of periapical granuloma was agreed upon based upon the following principles.22
Granuloma: a poorly defined hypoechoic area, showing rich vascular supply on colour Doppler examination.

Take a dip with local rockers Their Teeth Will Be of Lions
"I do hope it's cold; it will be hilarious," said Glenn Willis of TTWBOL. "I'll be in a bathing suit; I just hope no one gets sick. You're allowed to wear your coat" to get in the bar.
Admission is $6, or $3 if you come dressed in swimwear, which includes sandals, Hawaiian shirts, shorts, tank tops, etc. There will be a $30 gift certificate to The Corner Bar for the best bathing suit as judged by the bands.
"We'll be looking for probably the most unique bathing suit," said Glenn Willis of TTWBOL.
So you can justify your wardrobe choice by the fact you're trying to be thrifty -- mom'll love that.
Local bands A Mighty Little Boat, I Once Was ..., Deep Sea Creatures and Terror! Dactyl will play in addition to TTWBOL. It will be the final show for Terror! Dactyl.

Eccentric day
Surprisingly, the freaks also come out during the day
I suggest you treat the next few hours like athletes prepare for the big game: focus, train and be ready to respond to the unexpected.
The annual party of epic proportions -- Bell's Eccentric Day -- is coming Friday, and it's only fair that someone prepares you. First, let's talk about the beer.
"At any given time there will be 19 beers on tap," said Bell's retail manager Jason Reicherts.
In addition to a new batch of Eccentric Ale brewed in 2006, there also will be vintage Eccentric brews from previous years. A trio of brews -- Sweet Potato Stout, Apple Ale and Baltic Porter -- will be tapped for the first time during the party, which runs from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. at Bell's Eccentric Cafe, 355 E. Kalamazoo Ave.
Another big attraction is the food. This year's selections include wild bore stew, alligator gumbo and Rocky Mountain oysters, or breaded, fried bull testicles (Insert juvenile jokes here).
For the second year, there will be music and extreme karaoke provided by local DJ Jason Bartlett. The music will start at 4 p.m., and karaoke begins at 7 p.m. If you wish to publicly embarrass yourself to a pop tune, get there early.
"Once it hits 5 o'clock, it gets pretty packed," Reicherts said.
Bell's booking agent and bartender Amy Hoffman, an Eccentric Day veteran, offered these tips:
1. Get there early if you want first dibs on food, say noon.
2. If you do eat and drink early, consider going home, taking a nap and then returning at night.
3. Remember: "It's a marathon, not a race."
4. Drink water. Lots of water.
5. Clear your calendar Saturday morning.

Historical Traveler Reviews Nyali Beach Hotel Mombasa
Excellent Stay
Just returned from Nyali Beach Hotel. Staff can't do enough for you, all very friendly. Very good food in all restaurants - Mvita grill excellent! All gardens kept in beautiful condition. Only complaint is air contitioning in bedrooms good but very noisy.
Tip- if you want to go on safari, book it with Richard or Steve on Beach (by free form pool, much cheaper than tour reps and excellent. Two day/one night to Tsavo East �85-100 includes all meals and accommodation (cash only - prefer GBP or Dollars). We stayed at Lion Hill Camp - Excellent accommodation!
Wonderful Nyali!
Just spent 2 weeks at Nyali beach and it was wonderful! Located on the beach, and with beautiful well-kept grounds we had a fantastic time here! The main pool is huge, and the rooms (garden wing) were lovely - nice and cold to escape the heat!
The staff were friendly and helpful and put a great deal of effort into their work.
We were half board and the food was amazing!! There was SO much variety and choice at breakfast and dinner. Dinner consisted of 5 courses with choice of buffet or dish of the menu. One evening the whole restaurant was taken outside and we ate under the stars - lovely! Plus there was Tea and Cakes (& pancakes!) at 3pm every afternoon which was perfect just to keep you going!
In the evening there wasn't much to do, and we were advised not to leave the hotel. Some evenings there was entertainment and there is a small 'disco', casino and a pub.
Would definitely recommend this hotel and be back soon!
Definitely recommended
Absolutely wonderful hotel.
We had relatively low expectations of the Nyali Beach hotel having initially wanted to stay at Hemmingways resort but eventually rejecting Hemmingways on cost (it was to be for my 30th b'day after safari). Nyali beach seemed extremely cheap in comparison so hopes were not high of any degree of 'luxury'.
We were extremely pleasantly surprised. The hotel itself is lovely and spread over a very large area. Rooms are clean and quite large. Watch the size of your balcony though. We were given one with a tiny one initially which we complained about and were moved. From the outside we could see that some residents still had one twice the size of the one we were moved to.
Although I could not say that the hotel was packed it was surprising to see just how many people there were in total there at some of the evening events. In the day we felt pleasantly not on top of anybody. We always sunbathed around the smaller pool where there were normally only another two couples.
All meals were fantastic. I am vegetarian and I have to say that I have never had such good choices. My other half is not and said that the meat and fish were similarly good. The breakfast choices were immense. We did not have lunch but at around 3pm every day they serve tea and coffee with sandwiches/cakes/biscuits and freshly cooked pancakes with fillings. There were a choice of places to eat for evening meal and every other night meals were held outside with an outdoor bbq/spit roast plus buffet and a local band (good). Drinks in the bar are not expensive at all but the best thing is that they allow you to buy a bottle of spirit and give you a key to a private cupboard to keep it in for the next time that you want it. Saved me loads in vodka cocktails!
Pretty good watersports centre too. Did snorkelling at the coral reef and a scuba dive test for free in the hotel pool. Then had to go to two of the other hotels for actual scuba dives. Went to Whitesands which looked so much more downmarket full stop and seemed to be full of tatooed couples and sooo many kids. Also went to Voyagers which again didn't look a patch on Nyali Beach.
Highly recommended and would go again. Reading the other reviews, I did not know that the hotel was in administration but am sure that it will come through and it must be testament to the place and the staff that we had no idea.
After doing a weeks safari we had 8 nights at the Nyali Beach Hotel.
Everything about our stay was great. We was half board and enjoyed
the evening meals being served to your table made a real change
from buffets. It was very quite in the evenings.
Hopefully will be back again in 2006.
Keen on Kenya? Visit Nyali Beach
Two friends and I first stayed at Nyali beach 3 years ago when our booked hotel, Travellers Beach was burned down. We arrived in the middle of the night, shocked and without our belongings or any idea if we would be able to retrieve anything or continue our holiday. The Nyali Beach staff could not have done more to make us welcome and help us and re-opened their restaurant late at night to feed us. For these reasons and the fact we had a very enjoyable stay that time, we went back this year.
After a week's safari in Samburu we flew to Mombasa for 7 nights stay at the Nyali Beach Hotel. Everything about the hotel looked the same, the staff were still very pleasant and helpful and the food excellent. However, it was clear they have been hit hard by the fall in tourism over the last 2 years since the terrorist bombing further up the coast. Some of the staff we befriended before had left and those who had stayed were unsure of their future. The hotel is now in receivership and will hopefully find a new and caring owner to carry on the tradition of excellent service and an unbeatable beach location.
During our stay we met several people who were repeat clients, many from the UK and many retired people who have gone to stay for the winter months. There were also some families with young children and a smattering of young couples, so it is genuinely a place that caters for all, including the disabled, well.
I do agree though with one of the other traveller's comments on this page that some areas of the hotel are due for a facelift. They do also try to provide good entertainment and Mombasa Roots are generally an excellent band, though they may have their off-nights. Perhaps they need to have a re-think of what they could do during the day aswell, to avoid the feeling of being in a slightly faded holiday camp.
I would still recommend people to stay here especially as I heard from lots of other guests that the all inclusive package hotels had gone downhill.
I would also recommend a day trip on a dhow called Monsoon (we snorkelled, saw whale sharks/dolphins and had a fabulous lunch on coral cliffs). This can be organised by 'Bob' at Southern Cross Safaris. You should also visit to the Wema Centre, half an hour's taxi ride from the hotel. This is a centre for street children and they provide excellent facilities/care/food/education for 400 children. They are virtually self sufficient food-wise but rely on fundraising to continue their amazing work and sell small items made by the children.
Very Disappointed
We have just returned from a holiday at Nyali Beach Hotel and were very disappointed in the drop in standards compared with our last visit five years ago. We booked it last minute and thought that as we had stayed in the hotel previously it would be the same. Whilst the staff were friendly and helpful the whole hotel seemed to be "caught in a time warp". The area around the large swimming pool was the exact same. It needs a complete overhaul with new sun loungers, umbrellas and chairs & tables at the bar. The rooms were not clean in comparison with our last visit and the room fridge had not been defrosted in months. After speaking to the staff we were told that the hotel is in receivership so many were unsure of the outcome. Hopefully it will be bought and money invested in re-developing the hotel as it is in beautiful grounds with great staff but they can only do so much.
Excellent hotel
I have just come back from a holiday in Kenya where I spent a week at the Nyali Beach Hotel (norht coast of Kenya, near Mombasa).
What a fantastic experience!!! The location is truly amazing with a palm tree garden and views to the Indian Ocean. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are spacious, very clean and all have a balcony. We were there on a half-board basis. The breakfast buffet was brilliant with a very wide choice of fresh tropical juices (up to ten different choices), continental style breakfast, full English breakfast and plenty of tropical fruits. The dinner buffet was also excellent with a wide variety of delicious meat and fish options to cater for everyone's taste. The people who stayed in the south coast complained the food in their hotels was rubbish, which made us feel our hotel was really good value for money.
The evening entertainment and the hotel nightclub were OK but nothing to write home about. The hotel is by a beautiful beach of white sand where you can swim in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The beach is not private, so locals use it too. But unlike in The Gambia, no one comes to bother you and you can truly enjoy the gorgeous landscape without having someone come and ask you for money or try to sell you something every five seconds. Apart from the beach, Mombasa (second biggest city in Kenya) is only a short ride away and it offers both culture and shopping. We also went on a two-day safari to the Masai Mara by plane, but there are other parks closer to the hotel.
The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful, as well as all the Kenyan people we met on our trips. Therefore, I strongly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a holiday on the Kenyan coast.
This place is paradise in every sense of the word. My mom and I flew to Mombasa and stayed at the Nyali Beach Hotel. It was my birthday, and the waitors and hotel staff made a procession carrying a wonderful cake, not to mention the live band that promptly began to play the "Happy Birthday" tune...all this for me! I was really touched.
The Arabesque design added a rustic and romantic feel to the place...the doorman was even dressed in the full Arabic garb with a "Kanzu" and spoke impeccable Swahili!!!
The rooms were exquisite, the ambience perfect and the views breathtaking. Other things i loved about the premises include the Outdoor Jacuzzi that would help ease off the day, and ofcourse Noon's nightclub, one of the best and most lively clubs in the coast.
I absolutely love NBH, and will be back soon.
Fabulous staff, beautiful surroundings
We stayed here for a week after a hectic schedule of safaris. What a lovely, relaxing ambience. Great rooms (a vervet monkey and its baby visited us on our balcony the first morning!), views of the Indian ocean, and two fabulous pools.
The highlight was when the staff discovered it was my son's 19th birthday. A beautiful iced cake with his name on, and a card signed by the staff appeared in our room that evening. My daughter's African braids, which took over five hours to do in the hotel hairdressers cost a mere �40. I'd love to go back. Kenya is fantastic!
Best beaches: Malindi, Lamu & Nyali
Nyali Beach hotel - decent pool; lots of waiters.
Malindi Coast & Lamu for best beaches & historical tours (areas temporarily controlled by slavery era Portugese militia, etc.). Watch out for deep sea poisonous jelly fish (pale or purplish in colour) that may wash up dead or alive on some of the more remote beaches! Buy Arab/Swahili sandals for decent prices in old Mombasa town.

So after the bumpiest plane journey I've ever had (thank you to my a level class for the motion sickness tablets!) I had to change on to a local airline for my flight to Mombasa.

Although numerous analytical examinations of the runoff electorate have already been released and pored over, one point that we noticed in our analysis of key precinct data was the impact of low black voter turnout (spreadsheets here).
In a nutshell, if black voters had turned out at a slightly higher rate, former City Attorney Gene Locke would be Houston's new mayor. This is of course a big if, involving several assumptions and I want to begin by tempering it with an equally big caveat. Turnout was down from the 2003 runoff, the most recent competitive mayoral contest, in every demographic category, and it's arguable that moving the turnout needle in one category could have moved it in all categories, thus rendering some of the math to follow moot (since Parker dominated in every demographic except among blacks).
And moreover, "what if" propositions in elections probably deserve the same treatment as "what if" propositions in historical research, and that is this: They can heighten the importance of some factors in an outcome but are not worth exploring far beyond that (for example, questions like what if the Third Reich had won, etc.).
In this case, these results say a lot about what Locke's campaign failed to do, and probably offer some hints about reelection prospects, although that will depend far more on what happens in the next two years.
If you take the lower end of the 28 percent to 30 percent of the electorate estimate for black voters, that means they accounted for 43,484 votes out of 155,302. According to our analysis, 84.9 percent of voters in predominantly black precincts voted for Locke.
That means that for him to overcome the 8,640-vote margin, all other things being equal, turnout in that community would have to have been about 23.9 percent instead of the 18.4 percent we estimated. That 5.5 percent turnout differential would have pushed Locke's total up 11,035 and Parker's up 1,961, giving Locke a 433-vote edge. The needles move somewhat depending on what assumptions are built into the equation, but the bottom line is that better black turnout could have pushed Locke over the threshold.
In the 2003 runoff, when there was not a credible black candidate, black turnout was somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 percent, Stein said. That's almost 12 points higher than this year. It was just shy of 40 percent in 2001, the last year there was a black candidate in the runoff. But in that year, turnout in other key demographics was also far, far higher (see "Turnout2001vs2009" sheet on spreadsheet), so the question that perhaps remains unanswered is whether the Locke camp could possibly have improved black turnout by 5.5 percentage points when it was considerably lower in other categories as well.
Can turnout move in one demographic and not in others? For this question, 2001 is also instructive. In an effort to combat a huge Republican push for Orlando Sanchez, the Democratic National Committee spent more than $1 million on the race, sending in operatives and helping coordinate the most pronounced get out the vote effort in the city's history. That made 2001 the only year in recent memory in which turnout was higher in the runoff compared to the general election, and black turnout also spiked.
However robust the Locke team's paid field program was, it was almost exponentially dwarfed by what happened in 2001, when there were buses all over the city taking Democratic voters to the polls to cast ballots for Mayor Lee Brown.
So, perhaps the answer is yes, turnout can move in one community, or among one base, if you have $1 million or more to spend on it. Seems like that's a fact that could apply just as well to Mayor-elect Annise Parker's base. Money may not buy an election, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

They offer proper support around the foot and under the sole, not to mention they're light weight. I have different pair of Adidas that I wear more so for the gym vs running because they feel a little "heavy" for running. These are totally a running shoe! Side note - love the sea foam green and black combo! I recommend them!"

Once on board, we were able to go straight to our cabin and drop off our bags. Our room steward was the BEST- his name was ROMI!!! Our suite was great, very spacious- was thinking it was going to be bigger but it was great!I actually used the jetted tub in the bathroom.
I loved this ship, loved Deck 5' new open areas. I was expecting it to be more open but all in all it was quite a great area! I had the BBQ on the lanai one day and the ribs were good. Used the spa areas included with my suite, never seemed crowded due to day passes or such.
I was able to see a few comedians in the lounge- love the idea of the lounge-love the fact that they have so many comedians and shows-didn't love the fact that they are very popular with the guests. Definitely filled to capacity every show that I attended. All the comedians I saw were very entertaining and I enjoyed the adult content!
My only regrets about this ship is that I waited for the last day to go to the Serenity and it was closed due to high winds and I only rode the one water slide. There was so much else going on that I never got to do those things.
The ship was crowded but never seemed overwhelming we were at 4500 capacity with LOTS of kids.
For dining we had a great waiter(Kiswante) and we ate in the Scarlet for late seating, for breakfast we did room service or the scarlet.I really don't do long lines for food so I am careful when I choose to dine. For lunch it was the usual burgers or the BBQ but BEST of all I found the Salad Bar on D5 during sea days- that was a great find!
Getting off the ship we did self assist and walked off around 8am.
All in all LOVED this ship, this cruise definitely restored my faith in Carnival. After, 5 cruises with Carnival I was getting pretty bored, but this time it seems that Carnival listened and made very needed changes for the better. Quite impressed with this ship and the waitstaff.
We also took advantage of the future cruise certificate and the onboard credit for booking a future cruise while on board.

The overall DxOMark Sensor Score is 52, which does not differ significantly from the results of the Nikon 1 V1 (54) and V2 (50). It's also very close to the Nikon 1 AW1 (51), although its "Sports (Low-light ISO)" score is decidedly lower. The Nikon 1 V3 comes with a new 18-megapixel sensor, but the real improvements the camera offers have more to do with features than image quality: the camera boasts a new and significantly enhanced AF system, faster continuous shooting while maintaining autofocus, and expanded video functionality.

Fantastic internet site entire and also awesome digital photography. Thank you.
Good distribute. Excellent internet site complete in addition to awesome taking pictures. Cheers.
The camera you should be comparing this latest offering by Nikon to is the Sony RX10. It is a 1" sensor , is the same price when the Nikon is equipped with the view finder .
The result is on DXO, you can compare it, and you will see that, compared to RX100 and RX1, the sensor of Nikon V3 is just a flop.
Comparing an Rx1 to a v3 is as stupid as your comment. Of course a 1 inch sensor will be a flop compared to a full frame sensor. I am just suggesting to compare apples with apples and oranges to oranges. If you go out shooting with a v3 and an RX 10, you are comparing performance in a real world test, you would find the results from both cameras very pleasing and the experience of using the great as well.
If you insist on comparing them to rediculous bench marks where any Dx camera will win over a Cx of course the Cx will fail ! The bench mark itself is scewd.
The fact is that all versions of the Nikon 1 inch sensor have been unfairly judged by a bench mark for a different kind of camera. But, everyone who goes out to shoot with one of the Nikon 1 inch oferrings always has a much different and much more positive opinion.
Good write-up....... Appreciate it intended for select......
Great web page overall plus awesome photo digital portrait photography. Thank you.
Great site entire and also great digital photography. Thanks.
The DxO ratings are of no value really in knowing what kind of photos a camera can take.
Numbers mean nothing to real photographers.
You will never know what a camera or lens can do till you shoot with it, then you will know what it does and if you like it or not.
I have used the Nikon V1 for two years in doing my serious landscape work.
It is only a 10MP sensor but it produces raw files that have an analog look to them.
As a result my post processing allows me to get a wide dynamic range film look that larger sensor cameras can't offer.
I just got done renting and trying out the V3 and let me tell you it has the same analog look as the V1 but has much, much, more detailed raw files that have an even more analog look.
You can view my V1 and V3 pics here and compare them yourself:

Financing Energy Efficiency Retrofits of Affordable Multifamily Buildings
Apartment buildings are home to more than 17 million households nationwide, yet they remain a significant and mostly untapped opportunity for energy efficiency gains. Energy efficiency upgrades in multifamily buildings could save building owners and residents up to $3.4 billion annually. Many cities and states that have embraced energy retrofitting as a job creator and boon to both the environment and economy have yet to address potential savings in multifamily properties, primarily because of obstacles not faced by single-family and commercial properties. The need for multifamily energy retrofits is clear, but two barriers—a lack of information and financing—stand in the way. This paper reviews the challenges facing the multifamily housing energy efficiency market and the opportunity that tools such as on-bill repayment provide to finance energy efficiency retrofits for the subsidized affordable multifamily market.

FISHBERG1 has defined uremia as "A complex auto-intoxication, the variegated clinical picture being the summation of the effects of retention of various urinary constituents." He showed that virtually every known urinary constituent has at one time or another been indicted as an etiologic factor in the production of this syndrome. Of the various retained excretory products, certain ones seem to play a primary role while others are entirely of secondary importance. Some of the manifestations of the uremic syndrome are as yet unexplained, among them various types of cutaneous lesions, pericarditis and others. However, through extensive investigations in recent years, an approach to the more important manifestations has been gained.
Raab2 has postulated that the presence of catechol and phenol compounds is a highly contributory if not the main cause of the electrocardiographic changes and the physical signs of cardiac failure in uremic patients.

Paul Kuharsky attempted to cut through the coach speak Jim Caldwell offered today on Peyton Manning:
Jim Caldwell on Peyton Manning's recent rehab session throwing in pads: "It's tough to give, from my vantage point at least, a detailed sort of description of a rehab session, and that's basically what it is. He's got a little ways to go yet, he's still working towards it and I think he's making progress."
Kuharsky's take: Why is it tough? Elsewhere Caldwell said he wasn't going to comment, and that's obviously his prerogative. But let's not pretend it's difficult for a veteran football coach to describe the simple throwing his quarterback did. Caldwell's boss, Bill Polian, didn't struggle on SiriusXM NFL Radio earlier in the day to say Manning threw 30-35 passes with "good velocity" in a 25-30 yard space.
He's right–it's been pretty obvious since summer that Manning could not and would not play this year.

ABB wins US$225 million turnkey PV plant contract06. December 2012 | Markets & Trends, Global PV markets, Applications & Installations | By: Shem Oirere
ABB South Africa has won a turnkey contract for two photovoltaic plants in Limpopo Province at a cost of $225 million.
The power and automation technology firm will carry out the design, engineering, installation and commissioning of the two plants at Witkop and Soutpan Solar Parks starting January 2013. ABB will also supply inverters, protection equipment, switchgear, dry-type transformers, controllers and the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system.
"The orders were awarded by two special purpose entities, Core Energy and Erika Energy, whose primary stakeholders include SunEdison, a leading global solar energy services provider," ABB said on Tuesday.
Marketing and Communications manager Shivani Chetram confirmed to pv magazine that the panels will be supplied by Chinese firm Chint. Chetram said electricity from the two plants will be fed into the high-voltage transmission grid in February 2014 and April 2014 respectively.
According to ABB, "The two plants will have a generating capacity of 33 MW and 31 MW respectively and will be among the first utility-scale PV power plants to be built in phase one of the South African government's long-term renewable energy programme."
The two PV projects are among 18 that were picked in December by Department of Energy in the first round under South Africa's renewable energy programme for independent power producers (REIPPP). Investors will inject an estimated $5.3 billion for solar and wind projects in this phase.
ABB said the two plants implemented by two special purpose entities, Core Energy and Erika Energy owned by among others SunEdison, will generate 130 gigawatt hours annually enough to light 36,000 homes and "displace around 130,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year."
"We have a strong relationship with ABB and are excited to be working with them on this project" said Pashupathy Gopalan, Sun Edison Vice President and Managing Director of South East Asia and Sub Saharan Operations.

Feel Free to Sit on Diego the Cat (Pillow)
Originally posted 05/23/2011 07:45AM
Go ahead, do it – we dare you! We promise, no one will get hurt.
That's because Diego the cat isn't a real cat, but a pillow that looks just like a live kitty.
The lifelike cotton pillow ($19) is screen-printed with a black-and-white tabby, and is sure to bring some shed-free personality into any space, whether it's on a chair, on the bed or in a bookcase.
For those with actual cats in their homes already, it might be a good idea to introduce quiet Diego to his new roommates – we wouldn't want to see any filling go flying!
Parsley-Infused Chew Toy Helps Freshen Bad Doggie Breath

We can think of a lot of things we'd rather do than clean our dog's teeth: Wash the dishes, clean the car, mop the floor. We'd gladly tackle any of these chores before zeroing in on that smelly set of canines. Thankfully, there's a new interactive chew toy that can make the task a little less scary.
Precision Pet's new Spinz toy contains all-natural ingredients that promote good dental hygiene. Injection molded with parsley, the 100-percent edible toy helps freshen the stinkiest doggie breath. And the bone-shaped bumpy surface rotates, scraping and cleaning your pup's teeth as he plays, helping to prevent gum disease.

'Saving Audie' Explains Dogfighting to Younger Audiences

Four years ago last month, a frightened little black puppy was shivering in the woods; he was hungry, thirsty and chained to an old car axl at a place that would soon become notorious: Bad News Kennels in Virginia. He could hear the yelps, snarls and growls of other dogs who were being forced to fight for their lives at NFL quarterback Michael Vick's dogfighting compound.

REVIEW: Planet Dog's Wood Chuck Should Chuck Tennis Balls, Too
Originally posted 05/06/2011 08:00AM
My dog is not a fetcher. He's more of a ... sitter. Or a farter maybe, on certain days. So for the sake of this experiment, I borrowed my neighbor's German short-haired pointer, Ruby, who may be the best ball retriever in the world, or at least on my street. I took Ruby to the local elementary school field to test Planet Dog's new Wood Chuck ball chucker.
Scotch's Fur Fighter Grabs Fluff in Hard-to-Reach Places
Originally posted 05/05/2011 07:45AM
Dog and cat people, it's time for you to look under your couch. First, because there's a gaggle of your pet's lost toys waiting to be rescued. And, second, there's enough loose hair living under there to create a sizable furball creature.
Scotch's new Fur Fighter Pet Hair Sweeper ($9.99) can help with both. Shaped like a broom, the cleaning tool's plastic triangular head is wrapped with a disposable Super-Cling sheet which grabs pet hair, dust and dirt in those hard-to-reach places like under the couch, along the baseboards and beneath your major appliances. Ever peeked under the fridge? One word: Yuck.
