Just inland from the 5km-long Newgale beach in west Wales, Roch Castle was built by a Norman knight between 1195 and 1210. It was besieged by Oliver Cromwell's forces in 1644, damaged by fire and cannon, and later fell into ruin, but it has reopened following a £6,4m renovation project.
The castle now has six bedrooms, all with walk-in showers, TVs, iPods, Wi-Fi and high-thread-count linens, not to mention stone walls more than a metre thick. A rooftop sitting room has floor-to-ceiling windows and views over the Welsh mountains and Irish Sea. While no staff live in the building, they visit every morning to prepare breakfast and make the beds, and a chef can be brought in to cater. Historic St Davids is close by. Sleeps 12, from £4000 a week.

The National Trust is best known for conserving stately homes and castles and opening them to the public but it also lets out almost 400 historic properties to holiday-makers. Some are private apartments or converted outbuildings within properties that are open to the public (in many cases, once visiting hours are over, residents have the grand surroundings to themselves).
Others, such as Shute Barton near Axminster are stand-alone houses, forts, follies or watchtowers. Built in the mid-15th century, Shute Barton is one of Devon's most important medieval manor houses, with its former owners playing a role in the Wars of the Roses and the English Civil War.
Last year it was converted into a luxurious holiday home, with original features including a nearly 5m-high medieval window and 17th-century painted paneling in one bedroom.
The kitchen has what is believed to be the largest fireplace in England, once used to roast two oxen together during a three-day party. Sleeps 10, from £1,260 a week.

Rebuilt in 1565, Hoghton Tower is a fortified manor house between Preston and Blackburn, with a mile-long driveway and views of Lancashire and the Lake District. James I visited in 1617 and the story goes that the king was so pleased by the roast beef he was served that he knighted the joint "Sir Loin", supposedly giving rise to the word "sirloin".
The Irishman's Tower is one of the former garrisons that interrupt the ramparts surrounding the main house and was refurbished in 2010 to become a cosy retreat. Sleeps two, from £630 a week.

Hardwick was the ancestral home of Elizabeth Talbot, Countess of Shrewsbury - better known as Bess of Hardwick - one of the most prominent and best-connected women in Elizabethan England. In the late 16th century, she decided to abandon the mansion in favour of a new, grander hall she had built nearby, and by the 18th century the original Old Hall had become a ruin.
East Lodge, a two-storey stone cottage built into the walls of the Old Hall, housed a laundry and later the custodian of the ruins but since 2010 has been rented out to holiday-makers following refurbishment by English Heritage.
It has smart furnishings and a modern kitchen flooded with light from the leaded windows. Better still, while public visitors to the Old Hall must leave at 5pm, those staying in the cottage are entrusted with a 12cm long key which opens a heavy wooden door, through which they can access the ruins and walled gardens as night falls. Sleeps four, from £631 a week.

Everyone has a Michael Jackson story to tell
July 7, 2009 - LLee Janssen
So the phone rings one night not so long ago, shortly after I'd gotten home from the office. It's son number two. With a news item for his mom. "Michael Jackson is dead." "What?" I respond, thinking he's pulling my leg for some strange reason. "Yeah, for real. He's dead. It just happened." My response? "Wow. OK, I've got to go. I've got to call the office because this is a huge news story." And hang up. Forget that my son has called because his first childhood musical hero has just died, and he's looking to his mother for consolation. It took a few days for that to sink in ... which makes me feel much as the oaf. I took off into that path which has become my life's destination: news. And forgot momentarily my priority: sons. Both sons fell in love with the music created by the king of pop at a very early age. Was it Billy Jean? More likely the book narrated by Michael Jackson that came out with the record album from the movie ET. We listened to that album over and over again when they were but toddlers and I was a college student with young ones in tow. It's just as nostalgic for them to think of those days as it is for me to remember the bubble gum days of the Jackson Five, ABC and debates with girlfriends over which boy group was better: them or the Osmonds. Later in life, we would have a sitter that would tell my child that he would go to hell if he listened to "that music." She didn't last long; his music will keep him around forever.

hacking away on their keyboards. It wouldn't do for them to forget whatever they just realized by doing something else before using it, such as calling a thank-you routine that potentially overwrites the register it's sitting in! Lack of register-saving around nested calls seems to be a design flaw in whatever it is that we were compiled with.
I wonder why we have to talk to activate our thinking. Just thinking in my mind is not effective as talking though the same issues.
Talking through an issue -- rather than just thinking about it -- certainly helps. This is simply because one is using a different part of one's brain when talking a problem through.
For me it's helpful because I'm forced to be aware of when I'm skipping over something. It's too easy to gloss over a potentially important issue when it's just in my head.
It marshals resources in the left temporal lobe and recruits them into the problem solving. That's a sizable chunk of grey matter. Using it might temporarily double your IQ. Hence my talking to myself during problem-solving.

From 2000 to 2005, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Injury Prevention and Control reported that 6900 children younger than 20 years died of non–boating-related drowning accidents in the United States.1 Drowning remains the second leading cause of accidental death among children aged 1 to 14 years in the United States, after motor vehicle accidents.2 An American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) policy states that children are generally not developmentally ready for formal swimming lessons until after their fourth birthday.3 An estimated 5 to 10 million infants and preschoolers are reported to participate in formal aquatic instruction programs, and recent research shows that swimming instruction can be protective.4- 6 The purpose of this study was to investigate swimming safety awareness among a sample of multiethnic families in a high-risk area for drowning accidents.

You from a customer stand point and me being the builder/company. What options would you want standard on your competition, tactical, carry or range toy glock and what upgrades would you like available. Also what would you realistically want to pay for each if I wasn't trying to get rich off doing this? I've seen competition ready 34's go for $1800 IMO that is ridiculously high. Just a thought and wanted to know what the high road thinks.

Sad Story
by Kenny on Thursday, July 24, 2008
Today i was just browsing the interweb for a while til' i stumbled across this thing about this cyclist that was hit by a car and passed away. It's always sad to hear about people that pass away but especially when they are the similar ethnicity and age as I am, as silly as it sounds, i guess it just feels like that could be me too. I had to sign up to Lafixed.com and Sdfixed.com to get the full story. Apparently from what im reading this guy seems like one of the nicest people you'd meet.
At first i really wanted to know the story about if he was wearing a helmet or whatever, or how the accident happened (u know how curious you can get about that shit) but as i continued reading, I just started to feel as if i knew that guy, Atip (his name). People started telling stories about times they had together, posting pictures of him and all. Touching stuff, i started to not really care about the situation except the fact that a life was lost.
The saddest part was reading the thread from page1. It basically starts off as his close friends stating that he was hit by a car and in critical condition in the hospital. For a while it sounded as if he was going to make it and everyone praying for a quick recovery, but when i read this post:
"hey everyone. i just got home from the hospital and still it is not good. just so you all know and can do whatever it is you have to do he's not going to make it even worse probably not through tomorrow." just made me feel so sad.
And then: "Atip passed away a few minutes ago. He had family and friends surrounding him, saying their goodbyes. He will be missed."
After reading all that I've read on the situation made me feel almost a tiny part of it. Guess it's a huge wake-up call for people to wear helmets+lights and ride safer. Bunch of posts of people saying how they're going to purchase helmets asap, sad that it took a life for people to realize it.
Tons of people came out to his candlelight memorial

Today i take a look at my turtles (I'm an owner of 3 red eared sliders for over 6 years) and i notice my turtle biting at some white object. Turns out it's an egg. I guess one of my turtles had an egg but this is actually the 2nd time. I believe the first time was an empty egg from what i heard that female turtles may lay empty eggs. Obviously this new egg is dead, but besides the fact that the turtle ate it, i hear they're infertile when laid in water. I kinda wish i could setup a tank with sand/dirt so she can lay her eggs properly but i really don't know if i can setup a tank and wait for who knows when for another egg to pop out. The time span between the first egg and the 2nd egg was over half a year. Sounds like something really fun and nice to do (even though i know my turtles will eat the baby turtles if they were to hatch) but i don't know if im up for it.
Ohhhhhhhhh snaps!

Last Friday we decided to start up a bbq during night time at Union City landing where we always chill on friday nights. And it was a success! A few cops even stopped by wondering about the smoke but they found out it was just from the BBQ and didn't even trip! we even offered them food, which would have been funny if they ate with us but they had already eaten. It's great to have friends that are down with shit.

So I got a bunch of new toys today let me tell you what it is. First of all, Erik and Carl came into work today and Erik had bought some old Concor saddle off some dude today. I asked him if he perfers a Rolls saddle to possibly ignitiate some sort of trade. Turns out the Rolls saddle was what he was lookin for and we swapped saddles.
Later today i decided to hit up Auto-Freak in Japantown to pick up a new Broadway mirror. When i sold my Rx-7 i totally forgot to snatch my old Broadway mirror back so i had to get a new one.
There it is..in black-wooden trim! lol. There actually was this other one they had there, with diamonds in it, thought it looked kinda fancy but only problem was that it wasn't convex and convex kicks ass in longer cars.
When I came home today i found a shipment to me. It was my new cranks i ordered for my unicycle! So awesome cause the cranks i had on there before stripped while i was putting the pedals back on. Tough! These new cranks are just very slightly longer, ill see how i like them.
Came with that awesome bumper sticker too!!

Many of my friends have asked me why I have come out in support of David Gauny. Simply put, I tell you he is a good, intelligent man who cares about this city that he and his wife, Tracy, and children live in.
Now, to be a bit more specific: I first became familiar with David during the issue of the hospital expansion and the associated office buildings development.
Whatever your position was regarding the proposed project, when David came forward to speak, you were listening to a well-prepared and articulate person who used a common-sense approach to the matter.
David and I have come to know one another and have spent a lot of time talking about this city. We have talked about many significant matters such as the cleanup and planning for the Whitaker-Bermite site (996 acres that sits to the south of the Saugus Speedway).
We have talked about Cemex; One Valley, One Vision; business retention and creation; public safety; transportation matters; and much more.
During our discussions I was very impressed to find the level of knowledge David possesses regarding these matters. Clearly, for someone still relatively new to the political scene of this city, David has worked hard to be well -informed.
David is a person with no agenda other than wanting to do what's right for our families living here.
Certainly there is a lot more that could be said about David Gauny and this city. On a personal note, I was very appreciative when David, along with so many more fine citizens, came forward and supported me regarding my stance against illegal immigration.
We have a great opportunity on Tuesday to do something huge for this city. Please join my wife, Kathy, and me in voting for David Gauny for Santa Clarita City Council.

DETROIT, Mich. -- Late last year, the federal government awarded Detroit enough money to help 3,500 families who couldn't afford to pay their rent or utility bills.
But when 10 times that many people packed Cobo Hall to apply for the help, scuffles erupted inside.
The chaos was just the latest sign these are desperate times in Detroit and the desperation has government leaders turning to God for answers.
Changing Times in Motown
Next to the automobile, music and Motown are what made Detroit famous in the 1950s and 1960s. The reputation "reeled-in" new residents who often arrived from the segregated South in search of a better life.
"I was brought here from Alabama at the age of 11-months-old, raised in the public school system," said legendary Motown recording artist Martha Reeves of Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. "I am a good product because I had good teachers."
The singer is now a Detroit city councilwoman. She pays tribute to "the good old days" on the walls of her office at City Hall. The city is not like the one she remembers from her days at Hitsville USA which is celebrating its 50th anniversary all year long.
"Detroit is a city suffering from a lapse of population," Reeves said. "People left here as if it were on fire."
Motor City Stalls
Internal Revenue Service figures show 63,000 families left the Metro Detroit area in 2007. But that is not the only troubling city statistic rolling from the Motor City.
Detroit is the murder capital of the United States, with more murders in 2009 than New York City, a city with nearly 10 times its population.
Detroit's unemployment has also climbed to its highest on record, 28.9 percent - nearly three out of every 10 residents.
"There is a decline in our auto sales, but 50 percent of the cars on the street are foreign. So there is a lot of things we need to take note of," Councilwoman Reeves said.
The American automotive industry once fueled Detroit's economy. Financial analysts now point to the industry's struggles for the city's fast and furious decline.
But Reeves believes the problem runs deeper. In her heart, she feels Detroit is a city of people who lost faith when they began to lose their jobs. Still, she says the faith "is coming back."
"We know that we have gone through hard times, and the crime rate is up," she said. "But He can heal all things. And the more we spread the word, the better the city will be."
God & Government Come Together
In tough times, God and government are coming together in unique ways in metro Detroit.
Warren, Mich. is just outside the city limits. These days, inside the lobby of the Warren Town Hall, there is prayer station where Christian volunteers wait to pray with anyone in need.
"Even with all the churches that are in the city, no one wanted to hear about God until these things began to happen," said Gerald Echols, one of the Detroit area pastors who organizes the prayer stations.
Organizers and volunteers have prayed with more than a thousand people in eight months. The prayer station also has the strong support from Warren's mayor James Fouts.
The prayer station at Warren Town Hall was inspired by prayer stations that popped up in New York City, following the events of Sept. 11.
"I have had a good response," Fouts said. "Most people think a prayer station is needed, especially in stressful times."
Answered Prayer
Bob Adams, 53, is glad the station was there when he needed it. The former stand-up comedian, radio announcer, insurance salesman, and waiter lost his job more than a year ago.
He was also homeless and about to lose his unemployment benefits of $400 every two weeks when he stopped by for prayer at the Warren Town Hall.
"Literally, two days later, whatever the problem was, whatever computer it was somewhere in Lansing, my check was issued the next day. And I looked up and said that is the power of the Lord," Adams said.
Adams is still looking for work, but he is no longer homeless. Volunteers at the prayer station helped him secure an apartment he shares with two roommates.
"I keep praying that I get the strength every day I get up to say 'today is another day' because you don't know when God's miracles are going to happen," he said.
The prayer station idea is spreading. Young volunteers now staff a station in Northwest Detroit. And it's a sacrifice for them since they are also among the more than 113,000 people in the city looking for work.
But there is also someone praying for them back at Detroit City Hall - Martha Reeves.
"I have since 1977 studied and found out that anything you want, all you have to do is ask for it, if you have a one-on-one relationship with Jesus," Reeves said. "If you have a personal relationship with Jesus, he will give a you a miracle at a moment."
At 68, Reeves' term on Detroit City Council is soon to end. She will not run again, but the Motown legend will always carry a song in her heart for her city.

The so called Shareholders rights plan is exactly what the Starboard guys are describing. It does not protect the shareholders, in fact the reason this stock is up nearly $2.00 since September is because of the investment made by them. This poison pill plan is in place to get rid of the outside investors and will dilute the share price and keep the board insulated from the very people who drove the stock up. I see where they hired two consultants to try and apply specified pressure on the board but my fear is that these guys will get frustrated and start selling off their 14.8% which will drop the stock down to the levels they bought it at ($2.00 - $2.25. I think the shareholders need to send a message to the board to drop the poison pill and get on with business. These guys spent the money yet have no representation on the board, nor it seems the ear of the board. Its #$%$.
Sentiment: Buy
It seems obvious that if SOMEONE doesn't go in and straighten this company out, they will never be able to make a profit. They keep finding ways to lose money. ODP is too big and has too many employees to let a bunch of job scared a-holes run the company into the ground. You might also look at the company that owns all the preferred shares reaping millions of dollars of interest a year. I would bet they are solidly behind the board on this one. They don't want to see they gravy bowl turned over.

I'm not sure if they're eligible. I tossed the question out to Sproul on twitter... we'll see what happens. Both got their entry level contracts but are slide eligible (meaning if they don't play 10 NHL games in the first season of the contract it slides back another year without counting towards the 3 contract years). I know Holland's stated that the intention is to play Jurco in GR this season, so hopefully he can live up to expectations and tear things up! Almqvist is definitely in GR this coming season as well (again according to a Jimmy D interview). Sounds like Quine is returning to jr for another year, though.
For guys coming out of the CHL, they must be 20 years of age, or have played 4 years of junior hockey in order to make the jump full time (although, they can sign those ATO contracts and finish the year in the AHL). You're right about Jurco and Almqvist making the jump, though. I'm very interested to see how Jurco does next season.


text: Explore The central coast Hoi An Around Hoi An Hoi An to Da Nang Da Nang Hué Around Hué The DMZ Share Although Vietnam was reunified in 1976, there still exists a palpable north-south divide, one that many tourists end up picking up on as they head across the DMZ. Of course, many of the differences stem from the ideological division that followed World War II, and the protracted, bloody war between the two sides; however, there have long been other factors at work. One of these is the relative fertility of the soil – parts of the south get three rice harvests per year, while in the north it's usually one. This is said to feed into a great difference in character between north and south – northerners are said to be more frugal and southerners more laidback, partly because the latter have historically had less work to do for the same reward. There are also notable differences in tradition. Ho Chi Minh City flaunts its Westernisation, while Hanoians are just as proud of their city's colonial- and dynastic-era structures. Then there are dialectical differences – ask a traditionally-clad Hanoian girl what she's wearing, and she'll say it's "ao zai". Ask a lady from Ho Chi Minh City the same thing, and it would be an "ao yai". Trained ears will also hear that there's another dialect at work in the centre of Vietnam. However, for visitors, the most enjoyable aspect of the north-south divide is likely to be the food. The quintessential northern food is pho bo – this beef noodle soup is found throughout Vietnam, but originated in Hanoi, where it's still at its best. Other northern dishes include hotpots, rice gruels and sweet and sout soups. Southern flavours include curries and spicy dipping sauces, often married with a touch of sugar and coconut milk to balance the heat. However, most renowned nationwide is central cuisine – both Hoi An and Hué boast dishes of astonishing variety. Read More

Apple's MacBook Pro lineup has become
rather stale. While PC notebook counterparts have been sporting new
Core i5 and Core i7 processors for quite some time now, MacBook Pros
have been soldiering along with stale (relatively speaking) Core 2
Duo processors.
Apple is now getting with the times and
has announced a revamped
MacBook Pro lineup complete with new Core i5 and Core i7
processors from Intel; that is if you opt for the 15" and 17"
"The new MacBook Pro is as advanced
on the inside as it is stunning on the outside," said Philip
Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product
Marketing. "With faster processors, amazing graphics and up to
three more hours of battery life, the new MacBook Pro delivers both
performance and efficiency."
13" MacBook Pros will continue to
soldier on with Core 2 Duo processors, albeit this time at at speeds
of 2.4GHz and 2.66GHz. The 13" MacBook Pros also get a boost
from the old and tired NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics to GeForce 320M
graphics. Both models come with 4GB of memory standard and a
non-replaceable battery good for up to 10 hours of runtime (up from
7). The 2.4GHz model comes with a 250GB hard drive and will set you
back $1,199 -- stepping up to the 2.66GHz model with a 320GB hard
drive will cost you $1,499.
The new 15" MacBook Pro is now
available with 2.4GHz ($1,799) and 2.53GHz ($1,999) Core i5
processors -- a 2.66GHz Core i7 model is also available ($2,199). The
base model brings with it a 320GB hard drive while the middle child
gets a 500GB hard drive. Both models come equipped with an NVIDIA
GeForce GT 330M (256MB) graphics card. The Core i7 model comes with a
500GB hard drive and a 512MB version of the GeForce GT 330M. All
three models have Intel HD integrated graphics, 4GB of RAM and an
internal battery rated at 8 to 9 hours.
Finally, we come to the 17"
MacBook Pro. This $2,299 model comes with an Intel Core i5 processor
clocked at 2.53GHz. It features 4GB of memory, a 500GB hard drive,
Intel HD integrated graphics, a 512MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics
card and battery life of 8 to 9 hours.
Updated 4/13/2010 @ 12:40pm
While the 15" and 17" MacBook Pros do incorporate automatic graphics switching, an NVIDIA representative told Apple Insider that is is NOT NVIDIA Optimus technology.
quote: But no. Then, an intellectually challenged teenager writes: "Apple baaaad! Never had an iPad in my hands, but iPad is crap! Steve Jobs eeeeevil!"And it seems they come by the dozens, these days, on dailytech.You want to criticize Apple? Fine by me. But find a real technical argument, then! Tell me something I don't know,teach me something!! Like: "Hey, they do not have this important option or that feature!"
quote: The Sony has a replaceable battery. You can buy an additional extended battery and its STILL cheaper than the Mac
quote: Good luck changing your Macbook battery of the fly
quote: How does your alienware fair for battery life?
quote: You obviously like the MBP, and from what you tell everyone you're not short of funds, so why not buy one?
quote: four hour battery life
quote: My whole point was that Apple folk don't like DIY stuff, else they'd build their own computers for cheaper. I know you can't do that for laptops, but still.
quote: Battery life is a function of the power profile used. If you limit the CPU to 5 or 10 percent while on battery, then of course you can get a much longer battery life out of a machine. The thing is, no one would WANT to run their computer at only 5 to 10 percent for an extended time if they knew what was going on.
quote: Just build a regular laptop on HP's site and it is a hell of alot more feature rich and alot less money than these new Macs. The Envy is a "special edition" HP laptop. Why buy a Bently when a 35k subaru handles better and is more capable?
quote: More people buy Toyotas than Lexuses for a reason
quote: Cause we have that option? More people buy Toyotas than Lexuses for a reason. You can have your "style," we'll have our performance.
quote: Surely these machines are never a practical consideration.

Historical Traveler Reviews Salisbury Hotel New York City
Wonderful stay, perfect location, excellent hotel
My wife and I spent the weekend in NYC, and our stay at the Salisbury was near perfect. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The doorman will gladly help you get a cab, and also store your luggage if needed after you check out. The room was very clean and spacious, even by NY standards. It is so close to everything, such as Carnegie Hall, 5th Avenue, Central Park, and the subway for starters. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but there are only about a thousand places to eat nearby. Shelly's (across the street, you can't miss it) is highly recommended, as well as a little Italian place next door that I can remember the name of. They sometimes have special rates on their web site, ***********, or check travelocity. This hotel is great!
No breakfast
Visited New York for 4 days in early August, 2003. Stayed at Salisbury and enjoyed its great location and large living area with separate bedroom. Great for our four member family. Absence of continental breakfast, which is still shown as an amenity or feature on several websites, really hacked me off as they don't acknowledge that reality at all at the desk. Anyway, there are several nice places near for a good breakfast - new one almost next door. Overall, New York is much cleaner and people are a whole lot friendlier than when my wife lived there in the 70s. Enjoy. The only other thing is the front desk personnel were not real helpful with dinner recommendations when we were looking for a little less expensive family place. Saw some later down 7th and down Broadway but did not find them when we needed them.
Older Hotel but Great Location
Stayed at the Salisbury Hotel in New York Aug 21 - 27. I requested a non-smoking room with 2 double beds and as I expected, only smoking rooms were available. The first night was the worst. First off, the bathroom door would not close. Then the air conditioner was stuck at freezing cold. As it was a humid and hot evening, we could not turn it off and we froze by morning. When I initially called the front desk, they sent someone to check it out and basically said it was broken and there was nothing they could do. As I was staying there for a week, there was no way we could stay in the freezing room so we were finally upgraded to a suite with a a separate king size bed and a pull out sofa bed. It was a great improvement. We even had a microwave.
The hotel itself is somewhat old. The carpeting is dated as is the fixtures. But as far as I can see, everything was clean. And I never felt unsafe in the location of the hotel, even at night.
The front desk help was hit and miss. I asked them about David Letterman tickets and they were not knowledgable on the topic. But other times, the people were helpful.
The best feature was the location. It was only 10 blocks walking to Time Square (15 mins) and the subway was a half block away. With the subway, you can be anywhere in NY within 30 mins.
I paid $188 CDN per night (including all taxes and fees) and for NY standards, that was a great deal.
I would stay again.
We stayed in a spacious suite at the Salisbury and couldn't have been happier! OK, the view of a brick wall was a bit dissapointing, but it gave the feel of a real New York apartment. The staff was amazingly helpful, especially the doorman who always told us the way to where we needed to get to. The location couldn't have been any better, and the room was extremely comfortable, quiet and clean. Exactly what you need for a pleasant stay in New York! Would definitely stay there again.
Outstanding option!
We were thrilled with our accomodations at the Salisbury. The location, as others have said, could not be matched. We took trains everywhere! There are great coffeeshops, coffeehouses, bakeries, neighborhood groceries throughout the neighborhood. We had a suite that was simply huge and very comfortable. The staff was quite accomodating. With tourism on the slow side, they were glad to have guests. The hallways are ancient and too hot but the rooms were great. We would stay again!
The best location
The best location just across from Carnigie Hall. Central Park 2 blocks away, 5th Ave less than 200 yds away & times square quite close also. 1st time in the USA n the way to Las Vegas didn`t quite know what to expect, i wasn`t disapointed. Only my girlfriend and i on this trip. We had two big beds, a tv with about 20 stations (Non British though; well i am in the US). Coffee machine/perculator was good. The maid replaced all the sachets we had used everyday. Good bathroom with shower & hair dryer, a walk in closet(wardrobe) and a room safe. You have the option of eating in your room, but we just went to McGee`s Irish bar on 55th street ( To all the British out there, they show sky sports at McGees, so you can catch up on Premiership football(soccer)). We flew from Gatwick to Newark in New Jersey. The taxi fare was about $45 + $8 in tolls. With tip it came to around a heavy $60 (�40). Each way.This hotel is really in a great location though smack bang in the middle of Manhattan. We were on the 11th floor at the front & you could still here the traffic at night though. Starbucks coffee shop is opposite the entrance & "The Brooklyn Diner"up by Carnigie hall, is very colourfull & lit up at night. You can have a great meal here opposite hard rock cafe. New York was great but, its the location of this hotel that really helps it along, i would stay here again if only for this reason.
Salisbury a great hotel for families
We had a terrific two-room suite at the Salisbury Hotel on 57th St. We got a great rate online from one of the companies that resells rooms (look around online). There was plenty of room for us and our 2 teen-age kids. The "kitchen" was a small refridgerator, a sink, a tiny microwave, and a coffee pot, but there was a table and chairs. There's a grocery store not quite 2 blocks away and a whole-foods deli. We ate breakfast in the room every day, saved much money, and packed a lunch too. Hotel is located near almost every subway line, across the street from Carnegie Hall. Staff was attentive, maids kept our room very well. Taxi from La Guardia to hotel was less than $20 for all four of us. I'd definitely stay here again.
The Salisbury Hotel
This was my 3rd trip to NYC and my first stay at The Salisbury. It is a very pleasant 3* hotel, well located directly opposite the Russian Tea Rooms and Carnegie Hall. The service we received at reception was excellent throughout our stay. The room itself was small - the brochure had stated that the rooms were "above average size" as the building used to be an apartment block. Hmmm - not sure about that and the view...well what view? We were at the rear of the hotel and basically our view was a brick wall, but when you are in NYC you spend very little time in your room anyway! In fairness when we first checked into the hotel the receptionist apologised for the view! An excellent breakfast was included in the price and 24 hour room service is available from a number of local delis/restaurants in the area should you feel like a slice of pizza at 3am! All in all I enjoyed my stay at The Salisbury and as for NYC - what can i say? It's the best!
Loved the salisbury
Just returned from NYC. Second stay at the Salisbury this year. We love it! It's very comfortable, this visit we stayed in a suite, it was like being in our own NYC apt. fabulous. We loved the ambiance of the place, we had everything we needed, even our own resident ghost!! It also was located in a wonderful area. We really enjoyed Scala's deli, and Harry's bar!!
Comfortable feeling of being "home"
I just returned from a week's stay at the Salisbury Hotel, 7th Ave at W 57th. I booked online knowing nothing about the hotel other than what I had read on the website. Overall, I was pleased. The suite was very clean, quiet and the king size bed was comfortable.( Light bulbs in at least a couple of the lamps could have been higher wattage, though. It was hard to find a good spot for reading. ) The bathroom was very small -- a sink, tub/shower combo, toilet -- no real counter top -- but there was a medicine chest and cabinet for storage. The pantry area with refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave and sink were a nice addition in the suite and also in the standard room I had later in my stay.
The web site mentioned a continental breakfast, but that was not part of the deal! However, there is a Starbucks across the street and several coffee shops/diners and other restaurants very close by.
The lobby is very small and the staff also appears to be small -- usually one person on the front desk, a bellman and a doorman (part of the time).
Everyone was courteous and helpful. I would stay at the Salisbury again!

Toyota's new Prius Plug-In Hybrid – or PHV – will command an $8500 premium when it goes on sale soon in the US, suggesting it could add $10,000 or more to the base $34,990 starting price of the Prius.
The rechargeable hatchback will be the "lowest priced" plug-in hybrid on the market, according to Toyota US's president Jim Lentz.
Lentz announced at the Detroit motor show that the Prius PHV will have an all-electric drive of 10-15 miles (16-24km) – up from the regular Prius's capability of just a couple of kilometres at speeds of less than 50km/h but substantially less than pure electric models.
Lentz described the plug-in hybrid technology – which brings everyday electric vehicle environmental and running costs benefits but with the confidence of being able to drive further when required – as "the next frontier" for Toyota.
"That's why we're very bullish on a 15,000 sales base for this year," said Lentz. "From our standpoint we think the plug-in [hybrid] is going to be the next technology behind hybrids to really go mainstream."
But Lentz said the regular Prius hybrid – and other hybrids – had plenty of life left in them yet.
"I think there's a role for each. Traditional hybrids will still be around for some time to come."
Lentz also announced the new Prius PHV "will carry a net-cost-premium of about $4000" over the regular Prius hatch – a US market-specific figure that also includes substantial government incentives, which, if taken out of the price, would widen the gap towards the $8500 mark.
That would suggest the new Prius PHV would cost $45,000 or more if it made it to Australian showrooms, and would mean the PHV would undercut EVs such as Nissan's Leaf and Mitsubishi's i-MiEV, as well alleviating the anxiety over electric vehicle range that those cars fall victim to as the Prius PHV also has a petrol engine for longer trips.
The Holden Volt plug-in hybrid – Holden calls it an electric vehicle because it can travel up to 80km on electricity alone – is expected to sell for about $60,000 when it goes on sale here later this year.
Toyota Australia isn't speculating on pricing for the Prius PHV because it says there are no plans to sell the car here yet.
The company is currently evaluating a handful of Prius PHVs on Australian roads but is understood to have concerns about the relatively low electric-only driving range that would mean many Australians would be relying on the petrol motor for even modest around-town trips.
"When we're satisfied that we have the best balance between fuel economy, price and level of infrastructure to support the introduction of plug-in, then we'll proceed," said spokesman Mike Breen.

But honestly, I am so busy playing the games I bought, I don't really care as of right now. I did download Altered Beast for the VC and I must say they did a good job. Quick download and it's awesome how you can just turn the Wiimote on it's side and use it as a game pad. Once the Wii is done releasing world wide, Nintendo will have time to sit down and concentrate on "fixing" and bettering the online aspect. Which I REALLY hope they do.

Personal favorite knockdowns/knockouts?
I gotta go with Ali's 3rd knockdown against Cleveland Williams. It's so perfectly executed: a straight right, a straight left, a searing left hook, and a perfect right that nails Williams right on the head.
My least favorite knockdown is the one Foreman hits Frazier with when Frazier walks away and Foreman deliberately hits him right on the back of the head (however, it is one of the most brutal knockdowns ever!)

hard to say just one or two. i have many favorite kockdowns and ko's.
johnson ko'ing ketchel was damn brutal. jack had stanley's front teeth imbedded in his left glove. ketchel was out cold. johnsons beatdown of tommy burns and the boilermaker jim jeffries was sweet as well. too bad sam langford never got the chances jack did. sam would've made a ruckus as well.
dempsey whooping jess willard's ass was classic. he was all over willard like a swarm of killer bees. you do have to remember though, that back in those days, there was no neutral corner rule and you could basically hover over your opponents as they get up.
max schmeling's 12 round ko over joe louis was nice. schmeling showed how a smart technical fighter can beat a possibly more athletically sound fighter with perhaps better overall punching power.
marciano's ko win over my man jersey joe was a hell of a fight. i always liked jersey joe, so to me it sucks that he lost. joe was not exactly young when they fought either. walcott was the first man to ever knock down marciano. and had beaten him up until that timeless 13th round, when rocky landed a clean right that sent walcott into the ropes. ahh, that was a great fight.
tszyu's ko of zab judah. i always love when the ****y **** talking fighter gets his ass whooped. as tszyu said after the fight, if judah would've leaned in one more inch, it would've been total lights out. so, i guess by kostya saying that, means that he didn't land the punch 100%. and indeed it looks as though he is right.
vitali klitschko beating kirk johnson's ass. many people were thinking that klitschko's great performance in the lewis fight was all lewis' fault for one reason or another. klitschko took lennox's original hand picked title defense out in 2 rounds that december.
castillo/corralles. great fight overall. classic finish. seemed like both fighters were completely equal in the fight. in my opinion, there was no loser or winner. they both contributed to making it one of the most entertaining fights in the last decade.
i'll name some more great ko victories later.

Jersey Joe Walcott's 7th round KO of Ezzard Charles. Walcott simply walks up to Charles, Charles throws a jab and gets caught beautifully with a picture perfect left hook.

Although not a "Knock-Out", I always thought the combo Duran knocked Barkley down with was friggin gorgeous. And he's laughing throughout. What an ass, I love him.
The Tyson knock-out of the dude with the mishapen afro was amazing. I don't see how that man's neck didn't snap.
George Foreman knocked this other little black guy out with the palm of his hand. Open Glove KO...that power is just wrong.
And I have also had the pleasure of viewing the Johnson KO over Stanley Ketchel. Johnson's whole friggin body was in that punch. He was Airborne!

I also love that uppercut Big George hit Joe with. It's so perfectly thrown and catches Joe so perfect, it takes him off of his feet. I also like Foreman's last knockdown on Norton. A semi-left hook, a booming right uppercut, and a fully-winded right hook that hurts to watch. Foreman also catches him with another left hook on the way down.
You gotta love Ali's perfect left hook on Oscar Bonavena. The power thrown in that punch does not seem like it would come from Muhammad Ali. Watch Oscar's head right as his legs give in. Another classic Ali knockdown are both of the ones he hit Zorra Folley. The first is a left hook straight to the face, then Ali's jet-like legs shoot him sideways and he catches Folley with a stinging right hook dead on the back of his head. However, the one in the 7th round is a beauty. Two, lightning fast, counter rights that jerk Folley's head back and leave him laying unconcious for a few seconds. That second punch is almost invisible.
And who can forget Smokin' Joe's perfectly timed left hook that floored Ali in the last round of "The Fight Of The Century"?

lewis/rahman and the rematch. i always thought there should've been a rubbermatch because the score goes down 1-1, even.
there was this one fight(i'm sure someone can help me out with the names) where this one fighter is clowing in the middle of the ring and dropped his hands in round 4(?) like he just won the fight, and his opponent just walks up to him and BOOM! one punch ko. as i said, i love it when ****y fighters get a good beating.

Behind the scenes
Director Michael Bay smiles when you tell him "Pain & Gain" is one of the oddest films to come out of Hollywood in years.
"This is not the kind of movie the studios greenlight much anymore. I wanted to do something small and quickly," Bay said. "I saw something unique in this material. The best compliment I've heard from audiences who have seen it is, 'Wow, that was really different.' Which is cool because it was intended to be a bizarre movie."
"When I read the article, the story was so absurd that it laid out comical. When you try to use a chain saw on someone's head to dispose of a body, and it doesn't work so you take it back to Home Depot with human hair on it -- it's so bizarre that it's funny."
"They gave me the key to the city, which is cool, because I make Miami look good in the movie, and it gets out and travels around the world. I have a home in Miami. What I love about this city is it feels small town in a weird way. I grew up in L.A., and it's way too big. Miami's got a lot more soul."

Well, I wasn't necessarily saying fighting is a bad thing, but the fighting experience is usually not pleasant. That's what I meant by saying it was 'no good.' Those things always wear me out & it's not fun to have to get up & work the next morning with a fight hangover.
Diva, I think you should listen to your gut. Some things work themselves out over time. If time passes and passes and you still feel the same way, it might be time to re-evaluate. I'm not one for making rash decisions. Not that you have indicated you are trying to make a decision. In any case, I hope things get better.
Whew! You scared me there, moxie! If Moxette was about to turn 2, I would really thing time was starting to speed up! Wowzers.
Culture, I will keep my fingers crossed for you! I don't want you to have to go back to hell!
Yes, Yuki likes paint rollers. We discovered it by accident, but it is the only thing she will play with. Well, now, if there is no paint roller, she will use a stick. The rollers are soft, she can get her mouth around it, and she likes to put it on the ground & push it with her nose. So funny.

UN expert warns of water crisis
by Shanika Sriyananda
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) such as alleviation of poverty, improving health and educational standards and conserving the environment would not be realised even by 2015 due to the lack of political commitment and financial resources, warned Erna Witoelar, UN Special Ambassador for MDGs in Asia and Pacific at the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) Water Week held in Manila, Philippines recently.
She said inequalities and powerlessness were constraints to promoting the water-related Millennium Development Goals and resulted in disparity of water use. "People in rich countries consume 400 to 500 litres of water per day, whereas in poor countries, this is only 20 litres per day. Over the years, global demand for water will grow, more lives will be lost, more diseases will spread and the development of poor countries will continue to suffer", she said.
Over 350 experts in the water sector from the Asia-Pacific region participated at the event, where a five-member Sri Lankan delegation also took part. According to Witoelar, the water and sanitation targets were indeed a critical entry point for the development of the community to accelerate progress on all MDGs. "However, domestic and international funding for water and sanitation has fallen during the past years," she said.
"The lack of equity continues to be the biggest obstacle in most anti-poverty strategies," Witoelar claimed.
"Half the people living in the Asia-Pacific region do not have access to adequate sanitation. Population is growing and water consumption is also on the increase. Water resources are decreasing because of the overuse of ground water. On the other hand, due to urbanisation and the increase of concreting of cities, ground water is not generated in many parts of the world", she said.
Witoelar also said that there was great competition for industrial water use and a growth of industry-based pollutants. "These pollutants are likely to be more toxic and living conditions in some parts of the region are becoming increasingly hazardous," she added.
"The general trend of climate change in this region is more frequent El-Ninos, more floods and changing monsoon patterns. The change in rainfall patterns continues to affect irrigation; food and poverty are the other problems," she said.
According to Witoelar, water-related problems could be the most serious climate change issue in Asia.
"The direct impact of climate changes on fresh water sources are still not understood," she said.

The headlines looked like something the principal characters in an old science-fiction movie might be confronted with in an early scene:
"Astronomers discover mysterious 'dark matter,' " read The Inquirer's front page on Tuesday. "X-ray data suggest mass of the universe may halt expansion," the New York Times reported. The Washington Post said, ''Satellite finds dark matter that may bind the universe."
(To one friend, the Post headline seemed to go too far toward combining astrophysics and cooking advice. "It sounds like you wouldn't want to add too much of this stuff," she said, "or the universe might get too chewy.")

"If you give a man a fish he is hungry again in an hour. If you teach him to catch a fish you do him a good turn."
-Anne Isabella Thackeray Ritchie, Mrs. Dymond, 1885
The U.S. economy has been slowly on the mend over the last several years. After suffering a dramatic setback following the outbreak of the financial crisis back in 2008, U.S. economic output has not only stabilized but has since rebounded to new heights. But this fact does not imply that we are necessarily on the right track with the recovery. For the composition of how the post financial crisis rebound has been derived raises genuine concerns about the sustainability of our long-term growth prospects.
At first glance, it appears that the economy is well on its way to getting back on track. The chart below shows the quarterly reading of Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) issued by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) at the U.S. Department of Commerce. This inflation-adjusted value of goods and services produced domestically in the United States shows that the U.S. economy had fully recovered beyond its pre-crisis peak in 2007Q4 of $13.326 trillion starting in 2011Q4. And since breaking out above its previous highs, domestic output has since risen to $13.616 trillion in the latest quarter of 2012Q3. So in short, it took four long years, but the U.S. economy appears back and better than ever based on this headline measure after what looks like nothing more than a solid bump in the road along the way.
Of course, it is always worthwhile to dig below the headlines to better understand how the U.S. economy is doing. And this closer look reveals some points of concern.
The headline Real GDP reading can be broken down into four components as part of the Expenditure Approach, which is shown below:
GDP = C + I + G + Xn
C = Personal Consumption Expenditures (Consumer Spending)
I = Gross Private Domestic Investment (Business Spending)
G = Government Consumption Expenditures & Gross Investment (Government Spending)
Xn = Net Exports (Exports - Imports)
The household consumer (the "C" component) is certainly a critical force in driving GDP. Overall, it is by far the largest factor in determining total domestic output at nearly 71% of total Real GDP. This is a primary reason why we hear so much talk in the media and among policy makers about the importance of getting consumers to spend. The thinking goes that if we can give people the confidence that they will keep their jobs or will soon be back at work so they will use their disposable income, get real estate prices on the mend so that people can once again borrow against their home equity, and send the stock market (NYSEARCA:SPY) surging higher so that people will spend their speculative winnings as part of the "wealth effect", the economy will increasingly find itself on the mend. And priorities such as these have helped in driving consumer spending past previous peaks to new highs.
Government spending (the "G" component) has also played its part in supporting the recovery. During the depths of the crisis, an increase in government spending was deployed in an effort to fill the gap left by the drop off in private sector in the wake of the crisis. Some of the thinking behind this public spending effort is that if the government distributes enough money into the economy through transfer payments and incentives that it will result in additional support for the economy. Although government spending has scaled back some in recent quarters, it is set to rise at an accelerating rate in the future unless reforms are made to current spending programs.
While consumer and government spending have gone a long way in propelling U.S. real economic output to new heights, it is problematic for the growth outlook for the following reason. The focus of spending from both of these segments is largely on current consumption. This includes spending money on consumer goods that we all need like food, clothing, automobiles and washing machines. It also includes spending on things like government entitlement programs to provide income and health care services to those in retirement.
But the problem with the focus on current consumption is that it does little to promote the future growth potential of our economy. For once these goods and services are consumed today, they provide little if any productive support for the economy in the future. In short, the efforts to jump start the economy over the last few years has been largely focused on giving a lot of fish to the American public through various policy channels. And the U.S. economy may be left hungry in short order as a result.
Policy efforts to effectively teach people how to fish have unfortunately fallen short since the outbreak of the crisis. The type of spending that is typically most supportive of future economic growth is gross private domestic investment, or business spending. This is due to the fact that expenditures in this area are mostly focused on the creation of capital goods such as factories and machinery. Such spending is positive for an economy because it leads to increased production that enables an economy to provide more goods and services for consumption in the future. In other words, if policy makers want to increase the growth potential of their economy going forward, they are best served to focus on capital goods through gross private domestic investment.
So where do we stand with business spending today? We still remain well short of levels last seen prior to the financial crisis. Looking back, gross private domestic investment peaked in 2006Q1. Since that time, it first faded lower for several quarters before cratering following the outbreak of the financial crisis in late 2008. By 2009Q3, real business spending had fallen by nearly -40% before finally bottoming. And while expenditures in this area have since scaled back, they have recently stalled in recent quarters at levels that still remain over -15% below the previous peak on an inflation-adjusted basis. While gross private domestic investment is a notoriously volatile component of GDP, it still does not take away from the fact that business spending remains well below levels last seen roughly seven years ago.
Making matters worse, the outlook for further improvements in business spending is poor in the upcoming quarters. Corporations are facing overall declining earnings growth with profit margins that are already at historical peaks. This implies that businesses in general are likely to have less to spend on new capital goods going forward, which is already being evidenced by the fact U.S. corporations are scaling back investment plans at the fastest pace since the recession according to the Wall Street Journal.
Moreover, the corporate sector has hardly been the recipient of outward expressions of support in Washington, as it has been a regular target of vocal criticism by the current administration in recent years. This, coupled with the ongoing regulatory uncertainty that is presenting itself in its latest form through the U.S. fiscal cliff debate, has created an environment that has been less than encouraging for businesses to spend on new projects and initiatives.
The policy focus of effectively giving out fish at the expense of teaching people how to fish is particularly problematic for the U.S. economic growth outlook. While the emphasis on boosting current consumption has helped jolt the overall economy back to life, it will amount to little more than a sugar high in the end if it is not supported by an equivalent if not even greater focus on promoting the production of capital goods through business spending. And the longer policy makers pontificate and wrangle over the looming U.S. fiscal cliff in Washington, the more businesses will opt to pull back the reins on future spending plans, which will be to the detriment of finally trying to bring our economy back to a sustainable growth path.
Thus, the sooner policy makers in Washington get an agreement done on the U.S. fiscal cliff the better, as businesses can finally get on with figuring out their spending plans at least for the near-term. In the meantime, the U.S. economy is left to hold its breath at the expense of our future potential growth.

How to decolorize a water sample
How can I check water with a tint (e.g. during a disease treatment) with your test kits (the water tint makes it impossible to compare colors)?
you first need to take a water sample a bit larger than you actually need for the test. Then decolorize this sample by adding active carbon pellets one by one. Stir after each pellet until the tint does not become paler anymore. Repeat the active carbon addition until the water is sufficiently colorless. Then carry out the test with this water.
