Historical Traveler Reviews Camposol Benidorm
Loved it
I organised a Group Booking at the hotel, there was 17 girls on the trip we are called "Fat Friends", and are from South Wales. We had the best times of our lives, we had an absolute ball.
Yes the hotel was basic, but the hotel was absolutely spotless. Cleaned daily, including fresh towells and fresh bedding.
The Breakfast was a typical "Continental Breakfast", which includes the usual Bread Rolls, Ham, Cheese, Eggs & Bacon, Orange Juice, Tea, Coffee etc.
We met up with a great group of guys who were absolutely brilliant company, and us girls can't wait to book up again next year. We are definately booking Hotel Camposol next year.
Very clean BUT the Spanish holiday makers....
I have just come home from a Hen party weekend at the camposol, the rooms were very basic but also very clean, we had maid service every day with clean towels and beds made.
BUT, if you are English you get the very basic accomodation, our window (no balcony) looked across to the opposite window, if you stretched arms you could have shaken hands with the opposite occupants, it was like looking down a lift shaft (we were on the 5th floor). All the Pool side balconies and nice rooms were for the spanish, even having booked this hotel last january.
Our Hen Party i have to say were very quiet, there were 24 of us all in total, age ranging from 25 to 60, Friday night was a Spanish Organ music night, All the spanish guests were dancing happily. when it came to 11.35 and we tried to get a drink we were told that the bar was closed.!!!!!!! 11.50 all the lights around the pool and bar were turned off, we had no choice but to leave.
The pool is is the shade all day, but it you get up to the 5th floor there is a communal balcony that gets sun early morning, anyone can go, all in all this is a place to rest your head, after a hard night out, VERY CLEAN again the receptionists are lovely but the bar staff *?{#@$%*&0#~###
Hotel Camposol was a basic hotel we stayed there in August with our 2 kids, we had 4 beds in one room. The room was air conditioned thank God, was cleaned every day, the pool was by far the best bit, small but shaded a welcome relief from the intense afternoon heat.
The food was Spanish, we ended up calling it THE SLOP, lots of Brits ate elsewhere, it was repetative and boring, very basic.
My 6 year old looked forward to the desserts, one night it was what looked like custard with a biscuit on the top! My son and all the other little ones did not eat it. They layed on cheap cheap food on mass,the coffee was awful.
The hotel staff were moody, no inter action, no attempt to speak.
It was basic, clean, up the top of a hill that was a nightmare in the 35 degrees plus heat to climb.
Would I go again? If I absolutely could not afford another hotel then....NO!!
Poor , never again
very very very basic, worst room and hotel to stay, pool was small and if you do decide to stay the sun doesnt come until after lunch, the bar staff where nice and pleasent but reception where grumpy miserabile, not far from beach so youd better stay there after your dinner,, id say you could get much better for money ,we where charged 63euro per nite and the breakfast for worse ever so had to eat 3 times per day out,, ENTER AT OWN RISK,
Good budget hotel, dont believe all reviews
Hotel fine for �20 a night. Slight smell at first from cleaning materials but soon disappeared. Clean comfortable room, bed linen and towells changed daily. Balcony rooms fine.Air con, TV, only Spanish though. No sign of any yobs, great nights sleep. Spanish pensioners were fine. Lift not held together by selotape, fine if you are not a child jumping up and down all the time. No stale rolls and coffee but crusty rolls with a selection of eggs, bacon, salami, mushrooms, toms, cheese, ham, spam ,cereals, juices, pastries, fruit for breakfast, much better than i thought after previous reviews!! Pool small but clean, sunny only late pm. Hotel caters mainly for Spanish so dont expect British package holiday welcome/ knees up every night. Plenty entertainment locally. Waiteresses/ staff work very hard. Good position 5 mins from beach. As Basil Fawlty said, When you look out of a Torquay hotel window, dont expect to see the leaning tower of Pisa, Herds of Wilderbeasts racing across the Serengeti!! You get what you pay for ie. a 2 star hotel not the Ritz!!
Don't Do it!!!!!!!!!!
What can I say... we arrived to be given to keys to a cupboard, it was an internal room with a window looking out onto an internal tunnel (for want of a better word), it smelt frusty! and had two campbeds in it, there was no plug in the bedroom, has to use plug in the bathroom - you had to practically stand in the bath to open the door to get out. Despite the smell the rooms were clean, but basic is not the word it felt like a prison cell had we been staying for longer than 3 nights would have checked out straight away. It was full of Spainish pensioners and the atmosphere left alot to be desired - bar staff and maids we friendly enough - however reception staff were awful. The highlight of the hotel for us was watching a young British lad repeatedly jump in the pool and drown a couple of old spainish dragons with water...it was fab ... did consider joining him....
Worst hotel I have ever booked online. Taken over by large groups of yobs - the manager had ran off & left the staff to try and cope. They closed up shop at midnight (or often before) to avoid trouble - leaving sensible residents to be woken usually at 2am AND 4am AND 6am by large drunken groups bouncing round the hotel. I really would advise you to stay just about anywhere but here. I have stayed in very basic accommodation sometimes noisy without problem but this really was the pits!
Absolute rubbish
Worst Hotel I have ever stayed in.
Smelly rooms. Staff unhelpful food atrocious.
Beds Broken. Floor of the lift was stuck down with tape.
Breakfast was a bread roll and a cup of tea.
Evening Meal was cold and unappetising salad was limp obviously old.
Sweets were ice cream and anything left from lunch and the night before.
Crockery filthy.
Swimmimg pool never used because it never got any sun.
Avoid it.
Every Meal we had to eat out.
Very happy with this hotel
My Husband and I have just returned from this Hotel, we stayed 2 weeks. the first impression was how clean and bright the rooms were. Before we went, we read reviews saying the rooms were sparse? we found them quite ample for our needs.
The cleaners came in every day to tidy and clean, change towels and change sheets, that was really nice as we like fresh beds, the mattresses were new and fresh, we noticed they were changing mattresses in all vacated rooms so they must also do this regular.
The receptionists were very friendly, one in particular, his name was John he spoke perfect English and was very helpful, he told us he had an irish wife and her family lived very close to our home town, that made the situation even more friendly.
There was also an outstanding barman, his name was (sounded like) Manu He was always smiling, joking and making us laugh, he helped us a lot with our Spanish language too. Manu was a young man but very charming to us OAPs
The pool was always in the shade but very cooling after long hot strolls. In the surrounding area there were tables and chairs, lots of little raised garden plots with palm trees and shrubs where you could sit in the cool.
All in all this for us was a very reasonably priced very satisfactory stay. You can't lose if you want a truly Spanish Holiday, the hotel has mostly Spanish people stay there but quite a few English too. The food is mostly Spanish you can make up a tasty meal choice with some English titbits amonst the menu. Breakfast is all types of cobs and rolls, cakes and biscuits coffee chocolate or tea drinks.
The old town area of benidorm near the Camposol Hotel is as Spanish as you can get
Clean hotel
hotel really clean.Food OK if you like salad and spanish food.Hotel spoilt by yobs who came in at 6am shouting and breaking glasses. would recommend but not in Aiugust when yobs are about. Hotel deserves better clientel

Carl Craig at Electric Pickle February 11
Last year marked the quarter-centennial of Miami's Winter Music Conference. It was also the 25-year anniversary of Detroit techno, the seminal electronic dance music movement that spawned a worldwide phenomenon. And this year is another significant one for Detroit techno, as Carl Craig's Planet E imprint, founded in 1991, enters its third decade.
A prolific producer with an eclectic and multifaceted discography, Craig is considered one of techno's foremost minds and Planet E one of its most important labels. "Techno is music that uses imagination to develop the fantasy of what the future can be," says Craig, waxing poetic.
His sound, though, is just as informed by the past as the future. Among Craig's unique contributions to Detroit techno are his forays into electronic jazz and soul. And in a sense, he considers techno to be an heir to black music traditions in America. "No matter what any of my mentors and colleagues have tried to do with rejecting styles of music before techno, there are too many parallels that make these arts the same — jazz being the premier intellectual black music recognized academically," he says. "And techno has that academic achievement. Unfortunately, not in the U.S. But [yes], throughout the rest of the world."
Carl Craig
With Mr. C. 10 p.m. Friday, February 11, at Electric Pickle, 2826 N. Miami Ave., Miami; 305-456-5613; electricpicklemiami.com. Ages 21 and up.
Now, in 2011, Craig can look back at the fruits of his labor with pride. "We put out some great music over the years, and saw artists grow outside of Planet E, like Moodymann, Recloose, and Martin Buttrich," he exclaims. "It's been 20 years of highlights."

Karate chop. 1. The angle of the chop suggests slanted eyes, 2. Karate is stereotypically all Asians ' martial art, 3. Classifying all Asians as Japanese
Peter stepped on my shoe so I caught him with a jap slap to the head.
by Colt W December 03, 2014
A quick, compact baseball swing popularized by Japanese big leaguers such as Ichiro Suzuki, So Taguchi, Akinori Iwamura, amongst others.
Most effective with a left handed batting style, the jap-slap has become popular with Hispanic and American Major Leaguers such as Juan Pierre and Brett Gardner.

by FRICK TICK June 02, 2011
The action taken to punish a person for a silly or stupid mistake, often in a playful manner. The name derives from asking the unaware victim to place his or her thumbs on the outer corners of the eyes and stretching the eyes to simulate an Asian appearance. Then the slap can be adminstered without a flinch diverting the blow.

The "Jap Slap", as it has come to be called, is a constant. The Jap Slap IS, WAS, and ALWAYS SHALL BE. the Jap Slap, as most generally described, is the instinctual need to palm-hand someone. The name Jap Slap came to be right after the second world war. The world came to appreciate the Jap Slap as a fine art mastered by the Japanese.

Archive for Ryan McDonagh
Ryan McDonagh will not returnPosted by: | Comments
Sam Rosen announced on the broadcast that Ryan McDonagh will not return to the game tonight for precautionary reasons. McDonagh received a vicious headshot from Leo Komarov at the end of the first period. You can view three angles of the hit here.
Ryan McDonagh to return tonightPosted by: | Comments
Per Andrew Gross, concussed defenseman Ryan McDonagh will return to the lineup tonight. It is unclear who will sit,
but the smart money is on Dylan McIlrath taking a seat again. Marc Staal is with his wife who is due, so he may be scratched.
For what it's worth, Dan Boyle was at the morning skate today after sitting yesterday out with the flu.
Practice notes: No McDonagh (concussion) or NashPosted by: | Comments
Per Sean Hartnett, neither Rick Nash (leg) nor Ryan McDonagh (head) are on the ice for this morning's skate. It is likely that both will be out tonight against the Devils. No call up has been made, so Dylan McIlrath will probably get in the lineup tonight. Right now, it is unclear which right-handed defenseman will play the left side, but my bet is Dan Boyle.
Update: It has been confirmed that McDonagh has a concussion, and there is no timetable for his return. The concussion came on this sucker punch from Wayne Simmonds.
Ryan McDonagh is improving, sort ofPosted by: | Comments
Early in this season the Rangers defense was in crisis, hemorrhaging shot attempts on a nightly basis and struggling to breakout of the zone cleanly. It was obvious during this period that Dan Girardi and Marc Staal were struggling, but perhaps most surprising of all were captain Ryan McDonagh's struggles. Of course lately we've seen the Rangers tightening up their blue line, with their overall possession game trending upwards and their dangerous habit of giving up massive amounts of shot attempts evening out to reasonable levels. As the Rangers' process has improved overall, so has the situation of their captain, sort of.
Let's start with the obvious: Ryan McDonagh has seen less ice time with his usual defense partner Dan Girardi, and his game is better for it. While CF% alone isn't perhaps the best way to evaluate a player, it is pretty notable that McDonagh's CF% is 40.5 when the two are on ice together and 55.1% otherwise. Kevin Klein's play this season has allowed the Rangers the option of splitting McDonagh and Girardi up, and the benefits are plain to see.
Ryan McDonagh selected for All Star GamePosted by: | Comments
Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh has been selected to represent the Rangers in this year's All Star Game. McDonagh will be the lone Rangers' representative on the Metropolitan Division team. This year's All Star Game will be a divisional 3-on-3 tournament. Full rosters can be seen here.
Some random Friday thoughtsPosted by: | Comments
The Rangers have now past the ten game mark of the new season, and will be taking on the cellar-dwelling Toronto Maple Leafs tonight at Madison Square Garden in search of a 7-2-2 start. There has been much to analyze in the early going, so naturally I have some thoughts…
1. Mainstream media analysis, especially in the early goings of a season, is especially broad. Good starts, slow starts and unexpected performers litter the narrative landscape. Reading publications like The Hockey News or ESPN, the assumption is that the Canadiens are invincible and the Ducks and Blue Jackets are toast. You dig a little deeper into the individual teams and you find that each club has it own sources of consternation and optimism.
Ryan McDonagh needs to be betterPosted by: | Comments
Like most teams the Rangers go as their best players go. Right now, only Henrik Lundqvist can say he's his usual elite self and keep a straight face. Rick Nash, Derick Brassard as well as the entire blueline are not contributing as expected. Right now it's the blueline that is causing most concern. Other forwards and the Rangers' general depth are covering for Nash, for Kreider and for Brassard (take a bow Oscar Lindberg) but the defensive unit – as a collective – are making a series of errors each and every game.
The entire blueline has been a relative tire fire. It's been hockey punctuated by individual mistake after individual mistake, by poor coverage and unacceptable defensive zone exits. The Rangers blueline has also been a turnover machine throughout October. Through all of that negative narrative (say that drunk) and no one, perhaps not even Dan Girardi, has begun the new season in as disappointing fashion as Ryan McDonagh.
What is wrong with Ryan McDonagh?Posted by: | Comments
The Rangers' defensive unit was the story of the season in October. According to the pundits, they are "one of the league's best" and "one of the deepest." But through six games, they've been the story for a totally different reason. They have hemorrhaged shots, they are constantly out of position, and they have forced Henrik Lundqvist to make spectacular saves. This is not the start this six man unit wanted. Only Kevin Klein and Keith Yandle are off to good starts.
While much of the vitriol has been directed at Dan Girardi, Dan Boyle, and Marc Staal, it hasn't gone unnoticed that Ryan McDonagh has truly been struggling. While we don't know if he's still dealing with lingering injury issues from last season or whether it is dependent on his partner, we do know that he simply hasn't been the number-one defenseman the Rangers need.
Is the New York Rangers defense overrated?Posted by: | Comments
Update (5:20pm): To address the goaltending question, both Cam Talbot and Henrik Lundqvist were way above league average in adjusted goals saved above average (adjGSAA) which by definition compares goalies and, "as definitively as possible, regardless of circumstance, and in consideration of the tools we have and the variables we can actually account for, Goalie A is performing better than Goalie B." Since these two goalies are above average, we can assume that they bail out their defense on high-danger shots on a regular basis.
Throughout this golden era of Rangers hockey, a period of time in which we have seen the most consistent success from the Rangers (still missing that one essential piece though), their vaunted defense has been the subject of much praise. That was until very recently, about the mid-point of two seasons ago, when the Rangers faced a critical decision with Dan Girardi. They re-signed their franchise defenseman, and then re-upped Marc Staal the following year. This locked up two core pieces for what could be the remainder of their careers.
Injury news from breakup dayPosted by: | Comments
Per Steve Zipay, the Rangers were pretty banged up in the Tampa Bay series.
- Ryan McDonagh had a fractured foot, suffered in Game 4.
- Dan Girardi sprained his right MCL in Game 4.
- Mats Zuccarello had a brain contusion (yeesh), full recovery expected. He was unable to talk for 3 days and needed speech therapy.
- Marc Staal had a hairline fracture in his ankle, suffered in the regular season.
While injuries are not an excuse, these injuries certainly played a role in the Rangers' defensive performance in the latter half of the series.

China Lights Fuse Under Rare Earth Stocks 0 comments
News out of China has propped up slumping rare earth stocks, which are now likely to continue 5%-10% higher, presenting short-term buy opportunities for investors who don't mind the risk.
Rare earth metal stocks bucked the market's trend on Wednesday by closing sharply higher on heavy volume. The news out of China sparked a rally in what has been a severely depressed market.
The Chinese government's warning that rare earth resources in the major mining areas were already depleted was thought by some to be just an excuse to support the nation's restriction on exports.
Certainly, those who are expecting the Chinese economy to suffer a "hard landing" have made the case that the rare earth stocks are overpriced. I have felt for several months that the Chinese government would do whatever it takes to turn the economy around, and the recent actions suggest China is starting to get serious about that initiative.
Even if there is no real shortage of rare earth elements, a resurgence in China's economy would be positive for these stocks, which have been in a year-long bear market. The sharp increase in volume is a positive sign, and now is the time to target new buy levels.
Chart Analysis: Molycorp Inc. (MCP) is a $2.16 billion development company that produces and sells rare earth oxides. The weekly chart (left panel) shows that MCP made a high of $79.16 in May 2010.
- The downtrend from the 2011 highs, line a, is now in the $27 area
- Despite the 8.5% gain on Wednesday, the weekly chart still shows a tight trading range over the past five weeks
- The major 38.2% Fibonacci retracement resistance is at $41.90 with the 50% resistance at $49
- Even though the volume this week has been high, the on-balance volume (OBV) is still well below its weighted moving average (WMA) and the downtrend, line b
The daily chart for MCP (right panel) shows that the upper boundary of the trading range at $22.40, line c, was tested on Wednesday.
- There is further chart resistance from the March lows in the $24.25 area
- Daily relative performance, or RS analysis, is trying to bottom out. It has turned up from support and is above its weighted moving average
- OBV has completed its short-term bottom formation and moved above its weighted moving average and the resistance at line f
- The 20-day exponential moving average (NYSEMKT:EMA) is at $21.04 with stronger support in the $19.50 area, line d
Avalon Rare Metals Inc. (AVL) is a $168 million Canadian rare earth development and exploration company. AVL peaked at $10.11 in April 2011 and recently hit a low of $1.36.
- There is major chart resistance now in the $2.35-$2.55 area, which is a potential upside target
- Relative performance has turned up and moved above its weighted moving average but is still below longer-term resistance
- Daily OBV appears to have bottomed out, as it held support (line d) and has moved above its weighted moving average
- Volume on Wednesday was almost three times the daily average
- The rising 20-day EMA is at $1.51 with further support in the $1.46-$1.48 area
Rare Element Resources Ltd. (REE) is a $228 million company that acquires and explores mineral assets in both Canada and the US. The stock's rally on Wednesday broke through the daily downtrend, line e.
- REE hit a high of $17.92 in January 2011, so the major 38.2% Fibonacci retracement resistance is now at $8.80
- Relative performance broke its downtrend (line g) last week and has now turned up more sharply
- The RS line has found good support at line h and has moved above its prior highs
- Daily OBV has been holding well above its lows from late 2011 and is now above short-term resistance, line i
- First price support is at $4.55 with the 20-day EMA at $4.37
What It Means: A turnaround in the rare earth metals could be significant for the Chinese stock market as well as some of the other emerging markets. Those who have traded these markets, however, know that they are not for the faint-hearted and are quite volatile.
There is a good chance that after Wednesday's rally, the rare earth stocks will add another 5%-10% on the upside before they consolidate. If they instead give back a bit of their recent gains, it should provide a reasonable-but not a low-risk-entry point.
I favor Rare Element Resources Ltd. (REE) above the others, followed then by Molycorp (MCP), and would avoid Avalon Rare Metals (AVL) for now.
How to Profit: For Molycorp Inc. (MCP), go 50% long at $21.44 and 50% long at $20.66 with a stop at $19.58 (risk of approx. 7%). Cancel the order if $24.30 is hit first.
For Rare Element Resources Ltd. (REE), go 50% long at $4.54 and 50% long at $4.14 with a stop at $3.92 (risk of approx. 9.7%). Cancel the order if $6.30 is hit first.Back To TomAspray's Instablog HomePage »

Late today another doom and gloom write up showed up on the Internet suggesting disaster for AFL's Q4 earnings....
While he makes some good points, he comes short acknowledging that Aflac has a great Hedging strategy vis a vis YEN and is always a quarter or two ahead of the game....
Our Japan sales will grow by 15% this quarter and that Hedging has already taken care of the currency manipulation by Japan Central Bank....
This news was out two weeks ago and we went down to $51.00 and then jumped back up to near $54.00 and the folks who shorted the stock need to come on side by the end of this month so they paid another "guru" to write some false half truth so they can cover their shorts.
Here is an excerpt from Bloomberg after the Q3 CC:
"The largest seller of supplemental health insurance, is expanding a program to favor U.S. corporate bonds over Japanese government debt in an effort to increase investment yield.
Aflac will invest about two-thirds of its Japanese cash flow into dollar-denominated corporate bonds for the remainder of the year, after buying $2.5 billion in the third quarter, Chief Executive Officer Dan Amos, 61, said today on a conference call with analysts. The U.S. bonds yielded about 3.6 percent in the period, not including the cost of hedging to the yen, Amos said.
Aflac's new money yield in Japan was 2.76 percent at the end of the third quarter, up from 2.48 percent at the start of the year, the company said. The insurer had $124.2 billion of investments and cash as of Sept. 30.
Aflac hired Eric Kirsch, 52, from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to oversee its Hedging operations.
Kirsch, Aflac's chief investment officer, said today that the firm's Japan yield will probably climb as more money is invested in the new allocation.
Kirsch "did an excellent job of changing Aflac's investment mix and new money yields in Japan surged," Eric Berg, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, wrote in a research note today.
Aflac's new money yield in Japan was 2.76 percent at the end of the third quarter, up from 2.48 percent at the start of the year, the company said. The insurer had $124.2 billion of investments and cash as of Sept. 30.
The average yield on U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds was 2.78 percent as of yesterday, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data. Ten-year Japanese government debt yielded about 0.78 percent today, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Margin Pressure
The insurer yesterday reported that sales of Japanese government bonds added $192 million to third-quarter profit, which jumped 36 percent to $1 billion.
Sales in the country will rise as much as 15 percent in the fourth quarter, the insurer said yesterday".
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Here is some more interesting points from the company's filings:
"Aflac has limited hedging activities. Our primary exposure to be hedged is our investment in Aflac Japan, which is affected by changes in the yen/dollar exchange rate.
To mitigate this exposure, we have taken the following courses of action. First, Aflac Japan maintains a portfolio of dollar-denominated securities, which serve as an economic currency hedge of a portion of our investment in Aflac Japan. Second, we have designated the Parent Company's yen-denominated liabilities (Samurai and Uridashi notes and yen-denominated loans) as a hedge of our investment in Aflac Japan.
At the beginning of each quarter, we make our net investment hedge designation. If the total of our yen-denominated liabilities is equal to or less than our net investment in Aflac Japan, the hedge is deemed to be effective and the related exchange effect is reported in the unrealized foreign currency component of other comprehensive income.
Should these yen-denominated liabilities exceed our investment in Aflac Japan, the foreign exchange effect on the portion of the liabilities that exceeds our investment in Aflac Japan would be recognized in net earnings (other income).
We estimate that if our yen-denominated liabilities exceeded our investment in Aflac Japan by 10 billion yen, we would report a foreign exchange gain/loss of approximately $1 million for every one yen weakening/strengthening in the end-of-period yen/dollar exchange rate".
Thanks Osso for playing detective as this joker Meeks is full of hot air.
He says he has advised all his clients to sell AFL so to save themselves from this calamity.
I am no hedging guru, but any company that has business in Japan can easily hedge their earnings at the start of each quarter and sell YEN forward and buy USD for their estimated contribution to earnings from their Japan operations.
What a joke!

The European Register for Multiple Sclerosis (EUReMS) proved that cross-border MS data collection is possible and has the potential to lead to better outcomes for those living with multiple sclerosis in Europe.
Run between 2011 and 2014 by a consortium of academic institutions and NGOs, the first phase of EUReMS addresses the lack of data at EU and national level on treatment and care for people with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Find the project partners list on the dedicated website.
Find a presentation leaflet here.
The data collected from the participating MS registries (listed below) fueled four studies on areas relevant for both scientists and people living with MS.
EUReMS' ultimate aim is to provide a comprehensive resource of collected data for research and practice for all European countries, including those that do not currently have their own.
Find the project report here.
"Comparing data from different countries will be of great benefit to MS patients. EUReMS goes beyond the national borders. It is a comprehensive analysis."
Karoline Buckow (co-lead, Study 1), IT Professional, Department of Information Technology Medical University Centre, Gottingen, Germany
Going forward
In the second phase of the project, EMSP will build on the knowledge, experience and momentum achieved between 2011 and 2014 to encourage a growing number of MS registers across Europe to adopt EUReMS protocols of data pooling and analysis.eurems.eu

Local dual contributions: representing dual surfaces for block meshing
Document typeArticle
Date issued2010-08-06
PublisherWiley and Sons
Rights accessOpen Access
In this work we present a tool based on the new concept of local dual contributions for directly representing the topology and the approximated geometry of the dual of a block mesh. This tool allows us to obtain a valid block decomposition of a given geometry without a previous discretization of its boundary. Specifically, our tool is composed of a hierarchical scheme and a set of matching rules that explicitly insert descriptions of dual surfaces and handle their intersections. That is, the proposed tool generates a dual of the block mesh with intersections of the proper multiplicity without gaps and which respects the boundary features of the domain. Finally, we present several examples that illustrate the applicability of the tool.

Historical Traveler Reviews Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel and Marina
The Best of Tampa Bay
I stayed at the Marriott Waterside Hotel from May 14 - 19, 2004. Once again, the hotel and its staff exceeded expectations!!! I was there during Game 5 of the NHL Eastern Conference Finals. There were many Philadelphia Fans staying at the hotel because of its close proximity to the St. Pete Times Forum. The atmosphere in the hotel was electric both before and after the game!! One of the other advantages of staying at this hotel is its location and view of Harbour Island (one of Tampa Bay's most exclusive communities). I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to experience the best of Tampa Bay.
Rude Clerk/Gift Shop
The clerk in the gift shop was sooooooo rude! There was really no reason for this. Also, she yelled at my kids and watched us like a hawk. I hope that she wasn't prejudice. It was so hot in the gift shop that my feet swelled. The lobby was pretty, but it was also very hot. The halls were steaming. I don't think that the air conditioning system is up to snuff. So much for customer service. Don't expect it here at this very impersonal hotel. I don't think that they are looking for repeat business. The pool area is small for such a big hotel and it is overcrowded. This downtown location is dead. I am a silver marriott rewards member and always try to stay with Marriott, but this was truly a disappointment. Note to Marriott: fire that lady in the gift shop. She does not have the "Marriott spirit."
Nice business hotel
I stayed at the Marriott Waterside for a business trip in March 2004.
The hotel is very clean and the lobby is impressive. The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful, with a quick check-in. My only real complaint, is the location of the hotel. It is great for people on business and close to the convention center. But, there is not much to do around the hotel. It is secluded from downtown and the restaurant selection was slim. The hotel is on the river walk and you can walk to Channelside in about 5-10 mins. Channelside has a movie theater and some restaurants (most were closed). The best food around was at Champ's, the bar/grill in the hotel. I would not return to the Marriott Waterside for vacation and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a vacation spot, especially people with children.
Worth Considering
I wanted a quick escape to Florida for the good weather and tried the first night (late) at this hotel since the rates were quite low and the reviews were good enough. Since it is business-oriented, if you get a rate off business-peak (as I did), you can get a great deal. I got a high floor, balcony room with view of marina and channel at a rate comparable to a cheap hotel. It is a beautiful hotel and located in a nice area near town and the attractions. Good for walking and lounging.
I stayed an extra night and came back a third night since it was such a good deal.
Genuine Hospitality
Physically the hotel is just what one would expect of a business hotel of this class - not more not less. The lobby has lots of space and lots of marble and is pretty cold. The rooms are comfortable and average-sized, nothing particularly fancy - but there's nothing wrong.
The staff is great. Every contact with a hotel employee was friendly and left me convinced that he or she genuinely cared about my comfort.
The people I was meeting with are all complainers - and they unanimously agreed my experience. We ran a couple of events and were equally impressed and delighted by the banquet staff.
Great Location Not Great Service
Let me start by stating that I am a loyal Marriott and Ritz Carlton guest. However, this Marriott had some issues. The hotel is new, so there are no problems with the building and the location is great for the convention center, St. Pete Forum or Channelside.
Check-in was a nightmare, it took 2 people 15 minutes to figure out what was going on. I was on a breakfast package and I asked the employee checking me in if I needed a certificate. After some blank stares, he found the certificates, which I had to go back downstars to pick up, then they were not the correct certificates. Finally, they brought the correct ones to my room. This is the ONLY full service Marriott that did NOT have an inroom mini-bar.
The bathrooms are small and oddly designed, you cannot call for your car and have it waiitng, I have never had this issue either?? Room services was slow and made a mistake on my order. They also nickle and dime for every little item. Belgium Waffles come with fruit and whipped cream at every hotel I have stayed. Not here, you have to ask for them, then they charge you.
The rooms are bland, I would only stay here if you had an event and wanted to be close to the Forum or Convention Center..The Hyatt is also close, dated but better service.
I was referred to Tampa Marriott - Waterside. I had an appointed the next day at Moffit Clinic. My family and I wanted to spend the day and night in Tampa since my parents came in from Ohio and I live in Venice, so we chose the Tampa Marriott - Waterside. Tampa Marriott - Waterside did Valet my car but they lost my main car keys :( Fortunately, I did bring my extra set of car keys and made my apointment. However, I am disappointed in how Tampa Marriott Waterside handle my car and losing my main car keys. My Fiance' had to drive around at 6am with the night valet looking for my car and it was not parked in the spot it was suppose to be. My car was only pulled into a spot halfway parked and left, my car was not even locked. I am very disappointed with them losing my keys at Tampa Marriott Waterside. The hotel is beautiful but I suggest you do not Valet your car, or if you do, bring an extra set and check on your car throughout the day and evening.
Great views; mediocre spa.
I took my wife and daughter to the Marriott Waterside for Mother's Day weekend (we had some certificates for free nights.) The hotel is beautiful; rooms were larger than usual, clean and attractive. We had a corner room on the 20th floor with a balcony, and a stunning view of the south and east (overlooking the ships and Tampa Bay, and the new developments on Harbour Island).The lobby area is an open, nicely decorated and comfortable three story atrium; you can get to any of the five restaurants on the premises from there, as well as the little shop where you can pick up any essentials you might need. There is also a Starbucks stand, and a lobby bar with televisions.The pool is on the third floor; there was a reggae guitar player next to the pool bar, with lots of families enjoying the water. The hotel seems to do a brisk wedding/convention business; when we arrived at 6:00 p.m. on Friday there was a mad rush to get into the hotel, which was handled efficiently by the valets and bell staff. Champions Sports Bar has great atmosphere and chicken wings, but the draft beer wasn't cold enough and the grouper sandwich was small and not very tasty. Room service was fast, reasonably priced, and well prepared; breakfast buffet ($11.95) was first class, with everything you could ask for, including smoked salmon. There's also a fun indoor/outdoor restaurant and nightclub called Jacks, just over the bridge at the Harbour Island Wyndham. It's a leisurely stroll over a landscaped bridge with sidewalks; no problem to get to at all. They seem to specialize in Italian food, but their sushi was pretty good too. My wife had a massage and facial at the spa, which she said wasn't remarkable; the masseuse needed to clip her fingernails, and there wasn't much attention to detail. It's easy to get the feel that the hotel was built by cramming a big building into a small space; everything seems to be a big close together; that being said, the design is quite artful. It's on the water, with plenty of well maintained dock spaceause the pool was cool and inviting, and there is a big park area with a playground just to the east, right next to the St. Pete Times Forum (where the local hockey and arena football teams play).The hotel is also within easy walking distance of Channelside, the shopping/dining/nightlife area next to where the cruise ships embark, and there is also a stop just outside the hotel for the local trolley which will take you to Ybor City.In what I consider to be very slim pickings for luxury accommodations in the Tampa area, the Marriott Waterside is an excellent addition. There's room for improvement, but all in all we'd definitely stay there again.
Beautiful Hotel, excellent service
Excellent hotel close to business district, cruise terminal, and next to the convention centre. Very friendly staff, excellent breakfirst buffet at a bargain price. If you are there for pleasure and Busch garden is on your agenda, make sure you look the Busch Garden package.
Excellent Marina
Tampa Marriott Waterside is an excellent destination for boaters. As a boater, you are registered as a hotel patron and have the benefit of all services. The dockmaster is extremely helpful and accommodating. The hotel, new in October has excellent ammenities and is only minutes by tolley from Ybor City - Tampa's Latino District, the aquarium and many other sites. Highly recommend.

Pyoderma refers to any purulent disease of the skin, but this communication is restricted to only certain bacterial infections of the skin. Such infections can be either primary or secondary. Although "pyo-" indicates the presence of pus, certain instances of infection may not be pus-producing, for example, staphylococcal bullous impetigo.1 Nonbacterial, pus-producing skin disease's, such as pustular psoriasis, are not discussed.
Impetigo and furunculosis are the most significant bacterial infections of the skin. Chronic, deeper infections, termed ecthyma, probably start as impetigo. Both bacterial folliculitis and carbuncles are anatomical variants of furunculosis. Diffuse interstitial infection is termed cellulitis, and erysipelas is a superficial variant. Almost any dermatosis in which the stratum corneum is broken can become secondarily infected. colonization by pathogens ( coagulase-positive staphylococci and β hemolytic streptococci) is common, but manifest disease is relatively uncommon. There are skin diseases in which bacteria can be recovered from the lesions, but

Your business security system is not only there to protect you and your employees from harm, it is also there to protect company information as well. When looking over your company security system, implement a few new strategies to enhance what you are already doing to make your security system more effective.
Video Security
Some companies employ video security systems to help keep track of what is going on inside the building and on the grounds. Employees can sometimes be wary of video security, so it is a good idea to reassure them that their privacy is being protected while ensuring their safety. Post the details of your company video surveillance camera policy and conduct question and answer sessions to keep employees informed. Avoid installing cameras in and around sensitive areas, such as restrooms and employee locker rooms. Be sure to do an annual review of the legality of your video surveillance system with your attorneys.
Make sure all visitors sign in and are always accompanied by someone with a valid employee badge. Visitors should not be allowed to wander your facilities unattended, and the employee responsible for the visitor should have to sign the visitor log as well so management knows who is escorting them while they are in the building.
Computer Network
Make sure your company is always running the most current versions of computer operating systems, firewall software and virus protection software. If you have the resources to host your own Internet server, then do so--and be sure to monitor it for any possible intruders. Make it company policy to ban employees from downloading any software to their computer that was not authorized by the company, and be sure to limit the kinds of websites employees can visit.

7 Very Simple Packing Hacks That Will Allow You to Fit Everything into the Suitcase
Posted by Kimberly Collins On July 24, 2016
Whether you are going to travel somewhere during holidays, a simple visit to the relatives or a business trip you always rely on your good old suitcase. Chances are, there is not a single person you know that hasn't complained about packing. Well, if you stick to the following packing tips, you can be the one people know that doesn't complain about packing.
- Always bring a scarf, even if you don't need it. Scarfs are ideal when it comes to protecting delicate items. The larger, the better. You can wrap your perfume bottles, some other glass items you carry around, or maybe some delicate souvenir to take back home.
- Bring a silk scarf as well. You are probably wondering what's with all the scarfs, but silk ones are perfect for wrapping your blazer in. It will protect it from wrinkling. You can also pack a small portable handheld garment steamer to remove eventual wrinkles.
How to Find the Perfect Wedding Shoes
Posted by Kimberly Collins On July 14, 2016
Your wedding shoes are one of all the all important aspects of the wedding, and like everything else, they need to be absolutely perfect. You need to take your time and try out all the models you have in mind before you make a final decision.
Wedding shoes should be one of the first things you need to check off your list. This is particularly important since they need to fit and match your wedding dress, so by eliminating those from the list will allow you to customize your dress to perfection.
Try to Stay Calm and Look for Comfortable Shoes
It is not like finding shoes for nurse. Keeping your nerves in tact is quite the challenge when you are preparing for a wedding, but being calm while shopping for wedding shoes is of the utmost importance. You will most likely be constantly on your feet for hours and hours, trying different models on.
If you have wide feet, you need to find the most comfortable shoe stand to accommodate your foot shape. Furthermore, you need your toes to be as comfortable as possible as well. Remember, you will be on your feet almost the entire length of the wedding day, so you need to feel comfortable. Opt for high heels with nicely adjusted toes, rather than pointy shoes.
The Size of the Heels
This is a question that you address not only when shopping for wedding shoes but for all kinds of shoes. Naturally, for the optimal sense of comfort you should go for low or medium sized heel shoes. Nevertheless, heels are essential.
One other thing you should take into consideration when picking the heel size is the height of your partner. If your partner is noticeably taller than you, you would certainly want to go for higher heels. A lot of photos will be taken during the ceremony and they will look best if you and your partner are close in height.

Following a nice 23-20 Monday Night Football victory against AFC West division rival Denver on the road, the Oakland Raiders are off to a solid start in order to take the AFC West title.
Oakland's victory was not pretty, but a win is a win and it was on the road. The passing game was nearly nonexistent as Jason Campbell was only able to pass for 105 yards and a touchdown.
Here are the five reasons the Oakland Raiders can win the AFC West title in 2011 based off the Week 1 victory.

Dear Parents, Students and Community Members,
I hope your summer has been as exciting as we have experienced at East Knox! This has been a summer of the least teaching staff turnover at the Elementary that we've seen in the past five summers. We have several new positions at the Jr/Sr High School (which is still below the past five years as well) including three new High School language arts teachers and a new Spanish teacher. Our Jr/Sr High Administration has changed as well. Mr. Alan Keesee is hired as our new Jr/Sr High Principal. Mr. Aaron White is our new Assistant Principal/Athletic Director (I refer to him as the AP/AD not to be confused with the iPad!). You can read more about these two within our newsletter. Another critical employment hire this summer is Guidance Counselor Ms. Stephanie Whitesel as well as two new secretaries working in the Guidance Office area. All three Guidance individuals are already working in order to ensure we start the school year as smoothly as possible.
While I'm thinking momentarily about the iPads. As you may recall, Elementary students did not take iPads home last year which meant parents saved the $50 premium. It was successful to the point that Jr/Sr High students will not take the devices home this year either thereby saving those parents the $50 premium as well.
In case you did not hear the news, all schools in Knox and Morrow County Schools that were part of the MOAC gave notice of our intent to leave and form a new athletic league. The only true difference in make-up of the former blue division is the addition of Danville and departure of Elgin. For at least this year, the East Knox football team hosts Danville as our first game of the season on August 26th at 7:00 p.m. Hopefully, we'll be able to return in the next year or two to the tradition of playing them as our last game of the season.
Speaking of traditions, our high school graduation has occurred on the Friday evening of Memorial Day weekend for at least the last several years. This results in a scheduling conflict with OHSAA regional track finals for our students. Other dates that same week are no better because of softball and baseball tournaments. The Board looked at other dates to ensure our students are not forced to choose whether to attend graduation or participate in the event(s) they have earned. The Board voted on July 14th to move the 2016-2017 high school graduation to Tuesday, May 30th at 7:30 p.m. We will most likely make that our new tradition for following years unless there is clearly a need to make a further adjustment.
I saved some of the best news for last…..the Board voted in June to place a 4.4 mil property tax on the November 8th ballot. Why is this good news? The good news is that East Knox finances have improved over the last several years to the point that the Board is able to ask for 2/3 of the amount that we requested in November, 2014. Those savings have reached a finite point which means our students and staff still need additional financial support. Our levy committee is actively preparing for a successful fall campaign. The core group continues to meet over the course of this summer. The next levy meeting is August 25th at 6:00 p.m. in the Elementary. Please join us as we start our campaign for something we can all believe in….the futures of our children and grandchildren!

Dear Parents, Students and Community Members,
Caesar was told in 44 BC to beware the Ides of March! Caesar ignored the advice and the rest, as they say, is history. The Ides, fortunately, bring better news for East Knox Schools as we continue to examine the recent much-delayed release of the 2014-2015 Local Report Card.
An examination of the results comparing ourselves against school districts that touch our borders shows that East Knox students lead or are tied for the lead in 6 out of the 10 major indicator areas! Our students are in second place or tied for second in the remaining four areas.
Do East Knox students and staff deserve your support at the November election time? It would appear (again) that they have earned it. Congratulations and well done!
Have a great rest of your day!
Steve Larcomb, Supt.
Good morning!
Thanks to law enforcement officers and their K-9 dogs from the Knox County Sheriff's Office, Danville Police Dept and Ohio State Highway Patrol. They conducted a sweep of our campus and buildings this morning. No contraband was found or turned in.

To All Parents and Students,
I hope you have enjoyed our beautiful fall weather as much as I have. Farmers have been especially blessed for the opportunity to harvest so much of their crops well ahead of other years on average. I do not recall a time when we have not had at least a couple snowflakes at some point during October. We may have our first trace of snow this evening if weather reports bear out to be correct.
Despite our good luck to date and forecast in mind, it is indeed that time again to consider the possibility of school delays and closings due to inclement weather. As a parent, I know all too well the disruption that occurs at home with delays or cancellations because of bad weather. Therefore, I try to minimize those disruptions as safety permits. Cancel, delay or have school on time? It's rarely an easy decision. The bottom line is whether or not it is safe for our buses to transport students.
Parents have the ultimate decision whether it is safe for their child to travel to school. This is an especially critical decision with teenage drivers. I urge you to consider all factors (age, experience, weather, etc) when determining whether your child drives to school on any morning or rides the bus.
I try to use the phone notification system on mornings when there's fog, snow or ice. However, you may also check our school's website, Facebook page, listen to the radio, or watch Columbus television stations. Another way to receive messages from the school is to text the word join to 56360.
I hope each and every one of you has a great holiday season. Take care, be safe and thanks for trusting us with your child's education!
Steve Larcomb, Supt.

LITHONIA - Cedar Shoals worked its way back from a considerable fourth-quarter deficit and forced Miller Grove into overtime Friday, but the Wolverines prevailed 60-57 in the first round of the Class AAAA state tournament.
"We had the ball in the last 30 seconds and missed two 3-pointers and we were fighting for a rebound when time expired," said Cedar Shoals coach Will Mayer. "We really fought hard. We were down 37-22 at the end of the fourth quarter and fought back to send it to overtime. (Miller Grove) had a few more free throws than we did."
Cedar Shoals' Casey Arnold hit a 3-pointer with 10 seconds remaining in regulation to put the game into OT.
The Jaguars (18-10) had four players score in double figures: Kory Kilpatrick led the team with 17 points and was followed by D.T. Evans (15 points), Jeffrey Burton (10) and Josh Ervin (10).

PACE ACADEMY 58, WASHINGTON-WILKES 56: At Washington, Pace Academy's Zuri James scored a 3-pointer with eight seconds left to give the Knights the first-round victory in the Class AA state tournament.
Washington-Wilkes (20-8), which won the Region 8-AA championship last weekend, was led by Lucious Stewart's 17 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. He was followed by Deandre Stewart with 13.
CLARKE, CEDAR GRAPPLERS MAKE FINALS: At the Gwinnett Arena in Duluth, Clarke Central's Tony Pullen reached the Class AAAA state finals in the 103-pound division for the second consecutive year and will face Tucker's Pawlloes Belte today for the state title.
