I love how you used the texture of the paint to render the fur; especially in the area around the eyes and forehead your technique is executed beautifully! I really felt compelled to run my fingers along the screen when I went to fullview lol.
Phenomenal work! This is gorgeous- the colors and texture is breathtaking.
I love the texture on this, it brings the image to life.
I have always wanted to know what colour sun on white fur was. Thanks for the help
this is really amazing, I love it

Download the Project: Flannel Graph Flyer
The flannel project started as a challenge by a friend who had requested 500 "Story of Jesus" flannels for use in Vietnam; this number continues to grow. When our contacts started distributing these flannel graphs, they had pastors coming from 500 miles away to receive a set. This contact has since trained over 2,000 children's workers in Vietnam. Many of the trained workers use these tools to reach children with the Gospel. In one area of Vietnam there are over 90,000 children who are Christians, and the flannels are being used to help instruct them.
Click above to read a letter from Anna who shares about the impact Flannel Graphs have on people even here at home.
Cuba Testimony:
"We want to tell you that we received a very beautiful material with flannel graphs and beautiful figures that you sent with Brother Ben and Sister June. More than a year ago, I saw the advertisement for this beautiful material in a Christian magazine and asked the Lord to provide me this in order to make the work with the children to whom we are ministering even more beautiful. I really want to tell you that God used you to answer our desires to serve Him more. In addition, we received the best flannel graph, that is the largest, that we are needing in order to minister to a church with a congregation of approximately 150 to 200 children each Sunday."

1999 Alban Vineyards Pandora Red Wine Edna Valley
Producer: Alban Vineyards
Style: Red Wine
Grape Type: Red Blend
Origin: California
Region: Central Coast
Appellation: Edna Valley
92 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2002
(a 60/40 blend of grenache and syrah) Saturated bright dark ruby. Wild aromas of raspberry, strawberry, smoked meat, maple syrup, saffron and exotic spices. Thick, dense, concentrated and sweet, with flavors of exotic berries, meat and spices. Began almost too rich but showed a firmer shape and more structure with aeration, thanks to its edge of fresh acidity and firm tannic spine. Exhilaratingly complex wine.

Health Professional Shortage Areas:
Problems Remain with Primary Care Shortage Area Designation System
GAO-07-84: Published: Oct 24, 2006. Publicly Released: Oct 24, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(312) 220-7767
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
To identify areas facing shortages of health care providers, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) relies on its health professional shortage area (HPSA) designation system. HHS designates geographic, population-group, and facility HPSAs. HHS also gives each HPSA a score to rank its need for providers relative to other HPSAs. The Health Care Safety Net Amendments of 2002 required GAO to report on the HPSA designation system. GAO reviewed (1) the number and location of HPSAs and federal programs that use HPSA designations to allocate resources or provide benefits, (2) available research on HPSA designation criteria and methodology, and (3) the impact of a 2002 provision that automatically designates federally qualified health centers and certain rural health clinics as facility HPSAs. GAO obtained and analyzed HHS's data on primary care HPSA designations as of September 2005 and January 2006 and identified reports on HPSA criteria and methodology through a literature search of peer-reviewed journals and other reports published since 1995.
GAO identified more than 5,500 HPSAs designated throughout the United States as of September 2005; multiple federal programs relied on these designations to allocate resources or provide benefits. GAO estimated that slightly more than half of the HPSAs were designated for geographic areas--such as counties or portions of counties--or population groups, such as migrant farmworkers. The remaining HPSAs were designated for facilities, such as rural health clinics. In fiscal year 2005, more than 30 federal programs relied on HPSA designations, and in some cases HPSA scores, to allocate resources or provide benefits. The use of the HPSA designation by numerous federal programs to allocate resources or provide benefits is an incentive for obtaining and retaining a HPSA designation. Published reports have pointed to shortcomings in the methodology used for designating HPSAs. These reports' observations were consistent with findings in GAO's 1995 report, Health Care Shortage Areas: Designations Not a Useful Tool for Directing Resources to the Underserved, (GAO/HEHS-95-200, Sept. 8, 1995), including that HHS's methodology did not account for certain types of primary care providers already serving in a HPSA, which can result in an overstatement of the provider shortage. Recognizing the shortcomings of the current methodology, HHS has been working since 1998 on a proposal to revise the designation system. In addition, some HPSAs that no longer meet the criteria have retained their HPSA designation and possibly received benefits from federal programs that rely on that designation. HHS has not complied since 2002 with the statutory requirement to annually publish a list of designated HPSAs in the Federal Register--which would remove the designations of those HPSAs that are no longer listed. Many federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics did not benefit from automatic designation as facility HPSAs because they were located in geographic or population-group HPSAs. In addition, most of the more than 1,600 federally qualified health centers received HPSA scores associated with the automatic designation that were too low to qualify them for certain federal programs that required a minimum HPSA score in 2005, although they qualified for other programs that did not have such a requirement. Of the 590 rural health clinics that chose to certify that they would treat anyone regardless of ability to pay and, as a result, received automatic designation as facility HPSAs, most also received associated HPSA scores too low to qualify for benefits from certain federal programs that required a higher HPSA score.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: HHS published a list of designated HPSAs in the Federal Register on November 3, 2011. An HHS official confirmed that the publication removed the HPSA designations for those HPSAs that no longer met the criteria or that had not provided updated data in support for their designations. Specifically, the official stated that all HPSAs that had a status of P (proposed withdrawal) or N (no new data submitted) from 2002 through September 1, 2011 were withdrawn effective the date of the Federal Register publication.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Health and Human Services should publish a list of designated HPSAs in the Federal Register or otherwise remove, through Federal Register notification, the HPSA designations for those HPSAs that no longer meet the criteria or have not provided updated data in support of their designations.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: HHS published its proposal to revise the HPSA designation system in the Federal Register on February 29, 2008. In response to the many comments received on the proposed rule, HHS announced in July 2008 that it would issue a revised proposal prior to issuing the final rule.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Health and Human Services should complete and publish HHS's proposal to revise the HPSA designation system and address the shortcomings that have been identified in the current methodology for designating HPSAs.

We loved our stay. We arrived an hour early, and our host was already waiting for us to show us in. She gave great restaurant and trip recommendations. We were in the heart of old town, and had easy access to restaurants, cafés, the walls, and amazing views. Very clean accommodations, and also very cool despite the heat. We made the mistake of taking a taxi from the airport and recommend taking the shuttle, which stops in the same place outside old town's gates for a fraction of the price.

Our stay here was so wonderful, we added another night! Only regret is we wish we could have stayed longer! Located literally right off the Main Street and in the heart of the old town within the city walls, it's a perfect spot for everything. Luci was very quick to respond to our emails and even brought us a bottle of local wine to enjoy! Her ice cream and pancake recommendation was amazing! Bathroom cleaned every day. Washer and AC a plus. No frills, just a place to remind you of home. Thanks!

Jay Leno, born in New Rochelle, New York, on April 28, 1950, may be best known as host of NBC's Tonight Show. By winning the host seat of the NBC show he has followed in the path of past greats Johnny Carson, Jack Paar and Steve Allen.
Leno began his stand-up career in Boston and New York comedy clubs and strip bars in the 1970s. He was a popular opening act for such performers as crooner Johnny Mathis and country singer John Denver, and he wrote scripts for the sitcom Good Times, starring Jimmy Walker. After becoming host of Late Night, David Letterman granted Leno over forty appearances on the program. By 1986 Leno was named one of several guest hosts for the Tonight Show, but the untiring success-seeker still spent 300 days per year on the road.
As a popular stage and television comic, Leno strived not to offend by offering non-sexist, non-racist, anti-drug humor. He focused on ridiculing the idiocies of social life with a feel-good approach, avoiding cynicism and promoting patriotism. Being selected as Johnny Carson's replacement on the tonight show surprised the industry.
David Letterman had been slated for the job but NBC was attracted to the more cooperative Leno who was sure to match wit with the older Tonight Show audience. Trying to win over some of Letterman's fans, Leno's Tonight Show made stage renovations, recruited younger popular guests and Branford Marsalis for musical accompaniment. Within a short period of time Marsalis left the show and was replaced by Kevin Eubanks.
A year into the show, Leno was faced with a rating war against CBS' new Late Show, hosted by his highly paid competitor, David Letterman. During it's first three years the Late Show bettered the Tonight Show's ratings, in particular with the under 50 crowd. To boost ratings Leno decided to hire new writers and to endorse advertiser's goods, particularly Hondas and Doritos on the air. Early in 1995 Tonight went through a huge make over, changing a talk show format to a variety format creating a more comfortable, comedy club type atmosphere for Leno. By 1996 the show had regained its status as the most popular late night show in the United States.
Leno experienced what some called a 'mid-career trauma' due to his frustration with his make-or-break Tonight Show role. He went back to the roots of his career and began making increased appearances at college campuses across the country and Las Vegas clubs. He has appeared around the U.S. in hundreds of comedy shows for the past 20 years traveling to Bosnia in 2001 to perform for military troops stationed there. He remains passionate about performing in front of live audiences and can be expected to continue to do so throughout the remainder of his career. Jay Leno has also written two books, the first in 1998 titled 'Leading With My Chin' and a second book for children in 2004 titled 'If Roast Beef Could Fly'. A popular comic in every respect, Leno has been voted one of the Best Loved Stars in Hollywood by the TV Guide and Best Political Humorist by Washingtonian Magazine.

Date Committed: 2/28/2012
Position: Cornerback
Cazley was the first to commit to Illinois in the 2013 class, and it's fitting that he's also the closest recruit by proximity to Champaign given Tim Beckman's clear emphasis on in-state recruiting.
Cazley is a bit of an "everything man" for his high school team, splitting carries with his younger brother at running back and patrolling the secondary. In college he will most likely project as a cornerback.
What He Brings:
Playing at a smaller high school, Cazley hasn't consistently faced top talent on a week-to-week basis, but there is no question he can play at the division one level. He has good speed, change of direction, and physicality at the corner position. Though he will most likely end his running back tenure when he comes to Illinois, he'll take that toughness with him to the defensive side of the ball.
What Can Improve:
Cazley worked out at a couple of camps this past summer at the cornerback position against better talent than he usually faces during his high school seasons, and it revealed a few things he'll need to improve upon before he gets to Illinois. The two main areas are awareness and recovery. When he maintains control and successfully jams a receiver at the line, he typically disrupts the play and wins the battle. But if his receiver gets a step on him from the snap, he will sometimes be slower to react, allowing his receiver to get quicker separation. Handling a receiver's moves more effectively at the line of scrimmage should help Cazley maintain solid coverage of his man more consistently.
What Makes Him Unique:
As mentioned before, Cazley is geographically the closest commit to Champaign. This has allowed him to be in attendance at a number of events and get in the ears of several other recruits. In addition, his younger brother Josh Cazley is a 2014 athlete garnering looks from Illinois and a number of other schools as well.

Brent Budowsky: Christie has a powerful and even Churchillian message for his party that is supported by a huge majority of his constituents and is resonating with a growing number of voters throughout our country.
Barbarians Inside Our Gates
John MacMurray: Like their Iron Age counterparts, who tore up every vestige of Roman civilization they could find, seemingly just for the pleasure of doing it, their Tea Party descendants seem to take a perverse delight in obliterating all traces of the Middle Class America so carefully and painfully built since the New Deal.
Saddled with Bad GOP Wingmen, Romney Can't Capture Women Vote
Victoria Defrancesco Soto: It's like Romney is that guy at a party who's chatting up a lady and his wingman—let's call him Senate candidate Richard Mourdock—saunters up and, instead of saying something smooth, offends the lady with whom Romney was hoping to close the deal.
Hugo Chavez Wins as Venezuelans Flock to Polls
Stephen Lendman: VVenezuelans get the real thing. Their electoral process is the best in the world. It's independently judged open, free and fair. Every vote counts. They're tabulated fully and honestly.
Is Obama Missing Olympia Snowe's Point?
Bob Letcher: How can Senator Snowe's "point" cause enough of a problem to lead her to give up her seat, and at the same time not be counted as an "issue" at President Obama's re-election website?
Romney Still Fails to Make the Sale
Gil Troy: In a country that loves to see candidates grow and evolve, with a media primed to write the redemptive campaigning comeback story, Romney never seems to get better as a candidate, never has that turnaround moment.

Bob Letcher: Please notice that "We're not working out issues any more" is *not* listed among the top seven issues in Barack Obama's re-election plans.
Tpaw and the Campaign 'Autohagiography'
Michael Sigman: Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty this week joined Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney, 2012 GOP presidential hopefuls who've published campaign books that might best be called "autohagiographies."
Bringing Democrats and Republicans Together over Food
William Lambers: In a hyper-partisan age, is there anything that can bring Democrats and Republicans together? Yes: fighting global hunger. Drawing on the history of the postwar Marshall Plan, Lambers argues that food policy must be the foundation of all foreign policy.
Reagan Yes, START Yes
Brent Budowsky: There should be no misunderstanding about this: If the START Treaty becomes the next weapon of aggressive partisan warfare, it would demoralize America's allies and embolden America's enemies.
Let's Rebuild America Now
Brent Budowsky: The voters want jobs. They do not want Washington to descend further into a Dark Age of vindictive partisan gridlock. We need a Rebuild America Bond to raise private capital to build roads, bridges, schools, military hospitals, vets centers and other shared priorities.
Party Like It's 1892!
Steven Conn: The great historian Richard Hofstadter, writing about the Populists, described third party political movements in this country as bees: They sting one of the two major parties. Then they die.

Gay porn B-side "actors" in Brazil are not gay (very often). Most of them are straight, or in maximum bisexual. Directors and producers frequently find these men walking in the street or doing their jobs, and offer them some money to play some sex. It's usually told to them they will never appear in brazilian video rentals and so they get inside. Then, these guys receive a script (you can easily see they're not good actors) and "pretend" they're gay or bisexual. Trust me, I am a brazilian man and I consume a lot of brazilian gay-bi porn.
I want the top... he's hot!

U.S. and foreign compensation costs in manufacturing
September 23, 2002
In 2000, compensation costs for production workers in manufacturing in the U.S. continued to be among the highest in the world.
Compensation costs in the U.S. were well above that of Canada, Mexico, and a group of four newly industrializing economies in Asia including Hong Kong, Korea (the Republic of Korea), Singapore, and Taiwan in 2000. Costs in Japan, however, were 11 percent higher than costs in the United States.
For the first time since 1989, average hourly compensation costs for manufacturing production workers in the United States rose above hourly compensation costs in Europe in U.S. dollar terms in 2000.
International comparisons of labor statistics are from the Foreign Labor Statistics program. Find out more in "A perspective on U.S. and foreign compensation costs in manufacturing," by Chris Sparks, Theo Bikol, and Lisa Moglia, Monthly Labor Review, June 2002.

More streetlights to brighten up city
By Express News Service - CHENNAI
Published: 01st October 2013 07:50 AM
Last Updated: 01st October 2013 07:50 AM
In a move to upgrade the quality and increase the number of street lights in several areas of the city, the Corporation recently passed a resolution approving a plan to install new LED lights at a cost of `300 crore.
In its monthly council meeting, the Corporation approved a plan to install 1.1 lakh street lights at various neighbourhoods, where there have been complaints of poor lighting.
Areas such as Tiruvottiyur, Manali, Madhavaram, Ambattur, Valasaravakkam, Alandur, Perungudi and Sholinganallur, which have been identified with poor or inadequate lighting, will be the key beneficiaries of the plan.
Alandur, which is a fairly recent addition to the Corporation, will receive major upgrades as per the plan. The Corporation, as of now, operates a total of 2,14,008 street lights in the city limits but the concentration of these lights in areas located on the fringes is fairly poor.
The resolution also promises hope for areas where there is a problem of faulty lighting. "Interior roads in Valasaravakkam and Porur do have adequate number of streetlights but the problem is with the maintenance. A fair proportion of street lights here are not functional and are in desperate need of an upgrade," says Bhaskar, a resident of Valasaravakkam.
While the effort has been well lauded by residents of several areas, there is also widespread skepticism regarding its implementation. Pankaj Menon, a resident of Nanganallur says, "There have been one too many hollow promises about the lighting problem in our area from the local authorities. However, since a formal resolution has been passed by the Corporation, we can hope for some respite."

Rapid Anne River, Madison County VA, 4/24/2013

(In the interest of keeping at least a nominal amount of mystery in the Age of the Internet, I went with the original spelling for this location, and hope that comment writers will do the same. Why make this report even easier to find? )
Still early spring up in the Shenandoahs. The leaves on the trees haven't filled out. In some ways, it looks almost like autumn.
There are some spring flowers out in bloom, though.
Some people wonder why anglers prefer to fish, rather than simply being satisfied with a hike through gorgeous scenery, and looking at the flowers...well, flowers are pretty, but brook trout are cosmic.
Plus, you get to stare at the river until your eyes go funny
Like, psychedelic. Peace, love, and brook trout power.
There are a remarkable number of downed and uprooted trees up on the slopes, this year. Looking downstream
Also quite a bit of erosion visible.
This river always has a strong flow, but between the and the number of uprooted trees, I wonder how the fire road will hold up. And I hope that the number of uprooted trees isn't part of a trend. The Shenandoahs should stay forested, not turn into meadows.
One interesting thing I realized: the Rapid Anne isn't necessarily that reliable of a dry fly water, compared to many other headwater brook trout streams. This river has quite a few pools that are deeper than 6 feet, interspersed between runs and riffles that are often more like rapids, especially when the flows are up- like in the springtime, especially after a rain. The combination of a steep gradient and deep pools ensures that many of the fish will be holding deep.
In headwater brookie creeks where pools don't get deeper than 2-3 feet, floating morsels are both more easily visible and easier to chase and capture than in a river where fish are finding cover under rocks and ledges 4 to 10 feet below the surface. Fish in shallow lies are much more inclined to look up and go after floating and surface emerging flies without requiring a hatch to concentrate their attention.
Also the challenges of fishing deep pools in a fast flow that's complicated by cross-currrents range from difficult to impossible, even for nymphers and wet-fly swingers. Brook trout may not be all that sensitive to fly selection, but they spook easily. All that's needed to set them off is a line slap, or a fly water-skiing across a current on the tether of a suddenly tautened leader. Add to that the factor that most deep pools of any size have at least one trout holding in the tail end. If that fish spooks upstream to mid-pool, they all flee for cover, for at least a few minutes.
Finally, it sometimes seems as if the only places that one can stand or crouch to get a cast off- or even to drift a dapping fly- are right in the middle of where at least one trout is likely to be holding.
The pocket water is tough, too- mostly because the flow is so fast that flies flash past in an instant. Even when a fly draws a take, it's often a miss in swift water.
To sum up: there are a lot of brook trout streams out there that are easier to fish than the Anne, especially with a dry fly. Fishing successfully entails skipping a lot of water, including good habitat that holds fish but is either impossible to fish without putting down the trout, or impossible to land any trout that might be hooked. Although I can definitely see some advantages to Tenkara on this stream.
Anyway, I fished from 4pm to about 845pm. Some bugs about, but nothing that might be called a hatch- just a scattering of caddis and mayflies. Water temperature 56 degrees. Very few rising fish, all breaking the water to chase caddis. I fished dries all day, had about a half-dozen takes and by dusk I had only taken two fish (the first one pictured above, and another about the same size).
So just as darkness fell, while I could still see to thread the tippet through the hook eye, I tied on a White Wulff and decided to check out one last pool.
A few drifts, and voila

That hardly begins to show how bad it really is.
Thankfully, I'm not one of those people who makes a fetish of always keeping to one particular side of the road or the other, or I could have ended up in real trouble. As it was, it took me around 40 minutes to go less than three miles.
And that's without taking the UFOs in the second photo into account. Who knows what those things are, or what they're up to...
Bottom line: stay away. You have been warned.

It would seem like the course was 3-5 minutes faster than last year, at least from the times of the top dogs.
How much faster from your perspective, Tom?
Brian Matter's path back to the top of the Midwest mountain biking ranks took a somewhat indirect route, through the highly competitive Belgian cyclocross circuit.
Toughened and sharpened by the European racing, the Team GEARGRINDER rider from Sheboygan won his second Chequamegon 40 title on Saturday, and set a new race record - 2:02:55 - over a hard, dusty and rocky course.
Matter held off a hard-charging Cole House up the final climb and returned to the top step of the podium in Cable for the first time since 2004.
With a win in the Ore to Shore in August, Matter has positioned himself to win the unofficial Midwest triple crown: the Ore to Shore, the Fat Tire 40 and the Iceman Cometh, in November.
Jenna Rinehart, who topped the women's field on Saturday, also gave herself a shot at taking a triple crown in November.
Matter, 31, pulled off the hat trick in '04, and showed he has regained that championship form, after spending the Christmas holidays away from home, prepping for the UCI Cyclocross World Championships.
"That extended my race season so there was less time off the bike," he said. "Plus, racing over there gave me a lot more mental confidence. I've been pretty focused all season."
On Saturday, Matter followed the winning strategy that Jonathan Page used in 2008, attacking on the climbs on the Birkebeiner Ski trail with about eight miles left in the race.
House, Team BMC, and the venerable Steve Tilford matched Matter, who attacked again and gained a 10-second gap two miles from the finish. (Tilford shared the tale of his derailleur difficulties and a tactical error on his blog).
House, 21, battled cramps over the last couple miles, but nearly made up the gap on Matter with an all-out dive through the final corner.
"The last thing you want to do when you're winning the race with one corner to go is crash," Matter said. "I took it pretty conservatively and Cole, on the other hand, had nothing to lose.
"He carried a ton more momentum up that last climb, and I heard the crowd, took one look over my shoulder and stepped on it."
Rinehart, team Specialized, had no similar scare.
She cruised across the finish in 2:19:31, five seconds off the women's record, and seven minutes ahead of Kyia Andersen, Hidden Bay/Cannondale. Catherine Walberg, Team Kenda, took third.
"I got in a good group of guys and just focused on their rear wheels," Rinehart said in her post-race interview. "The scariest part of the race was on the pavement."
Matter will prep for the Ice Man Cometh and his run at the Triple Crown with a familar formula, more cyclocross racing. He will compete on Sunday in the Planet Bike Cup at Angell Park, a stop on the US Gran Prix of Cyclcross that will draw some of the top cyclocross racers in the world.
"I'm thinking that I better train hard for the Ice Man," Matter said. "At least my fitness is good.
"I'm just trying to hydrate and recover."

Defamation cases have crossed into the digital realm with the advent of social media websites like Twitter and Facebook, as well as blogs and online news and gossip websites. Here are some recent defamation litigants who made national headlines:
Neal Schon
The Journey lead guitarist filed a federal lawsuit in March against his former mother-in-law, Judy Kozan, claiming Kozan suggested in a blog post that Schon has failed to support his ex-wife and daughters. Kozan denied the claims.
Sarah Jones
A retrial date for the ex-Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader and high school teacher was set in March for her libel suit, claiming $11 million over two blog posts that said she had sex with every Bengals player and probably contracted sexually transmitted diseases. Federal Judge William Bertelsman set the retrial date for July 8.
Lance Armstrong
British newspaper The Sunday Times filed a lawsuit against Armstrong in December for more than $1.5 million after settling a libel case with him in 2006. The original settlement stemmed from the newspaper publishing claims that Armstrong took performance-enhancing drugs. The paper is claiming Armstrong's allegations were baseless after revelations of Armstrong leading a doping program on his cycling teams.
Alex Boston
In April 2012, a Georgia middle school student sued two of her classmates for libel, accusing them of creating a Facebook page with her name and information. The lawsuit claims the fake page posted derogatory messages about Alex and left obscene comments on other friends' pages.
Courtney Love
The musician settled a defamation lawsuit in March 2011, agreeing to pay a fashion designer $430,000 for comments Love made on Twitter and her MySpace blog.

Loads of things to do and lots of activities for kids of all ages. We brought our kids (age range 7-17) all had a great time and were worn out by the end of the day.

Horrible Hotel
The Viva Wyndham Maya was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at. It was suppose to be an all inclusive hotel with three restaurants that you could eat at, when my family and I went to make reservations on the second day all three restaurants were booked for the entire week. So we were stuck eating at the buffet for every meal like many other families. The service at the buffets was one of the good things about the resort they were fast, helpful and polite. The front desk on the other hand was not so helpful. Our refrigerator was broken when we called for a replacement it took three phone calls and a trip to the front desk to finally get one. Our iron was also broken but when we called for a new one it came right up. The room was not what we expected. The room had no where to sit no chair or desk and there was no bureau which meant living out of a suit case for a week which was not enjoyable. The television had twenty channels and five were in English they had static lines. The staff was very friendly but barley anyone spoke English the front desk and a few staff members were the only ones who spoke English so it was very hard when we needed something. The weather was amazing and the ocean was nice, but the beach had gigantic sand bags which made it impossible to swim there was only designated areas where you could swim. Overall the people in Mexico are very friendly and they do there best to help you but the Viva Wyndham Maya is not the next vacation for you unless you want to waste you money on an outdated hotel.

Hotel Review Questions
a week at viva maya
On the good side, we found the hotel and property very clean and orderly. Both the hotel staff and the people of the nearby city were always pleasant and helpful. The beach, although small, is very beautiful.
On the down side, the food was consistantly of poor quality and often dishes were offered with no indications of what they were. Every single day there were not enogh plates or glasses for all to have and we had to wait while dirty ones were washed. This is not 4-star service.
The hotel also has a large number of commission-based sales people endlessly bothering everyone day after day to purchase a time share deal. They just couldn't accept no and this is our biggest reason to not recommend the place. After the first two days of being hounded, we knew we'd never return.

A Georgetown resident pleaded guilty Thursday to criminal conspiracy for his role in an insider-trading ring that pocketed more than $11 million in illegal stock gains.
Prosecutors unsealed the federal grand jury indictment naming Roger A. Williams and eight co-defendants in Charlotte. His plea agreement was not released Thursday.
The criminal charges followed a lawsuit brought by stock market regulators last week that identified the 51-year-old man as one of the individuals who profited from confidential information not available to other ordinary investors.
The group had help. Federal prosecutors accuse John Femenia, 31, of exploiting his former position as an investment banker at Wells Fargo Securities to tip off friends and family, either directly or indirectly, about four corporate mergers involving the firms clients before the deals were announced publicly.
Also identified as ringleaders in the trading scheme are Shawn Hegedus, a 32-year-old registered broker, and his girlfriend, Danielle C. Laurenti, 31.
The three New York residents are charged with conspiracy to commit insider trading, securities fraud and money laundering.
Williams and five other investors in the Carolinas, Florida, California and New York pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy, prosecutors said.
According to last weeks lawsuit, Williams made more than $3.3 million in profits and paid about $550,000 in kickbacks to a company controlled by Femenia and Hegedus.
His last known address was a creekfront home in Debordieu Colony, an upscale gated resort near Pawleys Island. His attorney could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Big business mergers can create quick but illicit profit opportunities for traders who use tips from insiders to bet whether a stock will rise or fall once the information is made public.
The Securities and Exchange Commission described the volume of insider trading in this case as serial in nature. The buying and selling took place between March 2010 and this month, according to Thursdays indictment.
The SEC said Williams relayed insider information he received from Hegedus to two friends in Charlotte and another in Greer, where Williams once lived. The lawsuit included precise details about the flurry of phone calls among the various traders, including dates, times and the lengths of the conversations.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I never thought I would give the crown of best first person shooter ever to a game other than Goldeneye 007. The Nintendo 64 classic ushered in a new era of what FPS's were going to be on consoles, and paved the way for games like Perfect Dark, Halo and Bioshock.
Since its released in 1997, Goldeneye was easily my most played multiplayer game. My friends and family were so dedicated, along with myself, in having a fair, balanced match, that we created something called "The Separator". This device was a piece of cardboard and a mop handle that were fitted across the middle of the TV horizontally, creating a division between first and second player. It made it so the player on the top half of the screen couldn't see the player's screen on the bottom half. It was a revolution in our eyes, and as cheesy as it sounds now, created some intense multiplayer moments.
Goldeneye's single player campaign was great. The soundtrack, even by today's standards, is still solid (I listen to it while played CoD4), and the AI for the time was adequate. A variety of levels, objectives, and weapons all came together and became the reason to own a Nintendo 64.
Fast forward 10 years, and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare releases. The single player game was solid, with an intriguing story from multiple angles, coupled with some amazing set pieces that included being blown up by a nuke. However, it was in multiplayer that Call of Duty 4 shined. With solid RPG elements, multiple weapons, play-styles, and perks that could be taylored to the controlling player, matches were never played the same way twice. I think we're all familiar with the perks, from good to bad, Deep Impact to Martyrdom, and there isn't a doubt in my mind that these perks will be copied in other games in the future. In reality, it's the multiplayer in CoD4 that puts it at the top of the FPS category for me. I've sunk more hours into Modern Warfare than any other game, and it doesn't hurt that I'm pretty good at the game too (3.21 kill to death ratio on 65,000 kills).
I could list reason after reason why CoD4 tops Goldeneye. From the levels to the weapons to the amazing visuals, Infinity Ward created a game that is going to be the benchmark for all first person shooters for years to come. Perhaps at the end of this year Modern Warfare 2 will top the first, but until Infinity Ward does realease MW2, CoD4 is going to remain the best FPS of all time in my eyes, and that won't change anytime soon.
After all, Goldeneye was the best for ten years.

Took the car in for air con service as was keen to not use a garage that'd 'find' extra jobs that needed doing. Car took slightly longer than I'd been told (only half an hour) but as I wasn't waiting for it this did not cause a problem. Air con is now running again so very happy.
Ms Robinson
Excellent and prompt service at very competitive prices. I would definitely use Halfords again.
Mr Michael Green
Had my fan switch renewed in October and it stopped working in May I telephone Halfords and without quibble they asked me to bring it in as it was still under guarantee. They promptly repaired the switch.
Mrs Baker
Staff kept me in touch with everything from start to finish making the whole process as smooth as any driver could hope for. Brilliant.
Mr Garwood
Competitive price with comfortable reception. Excellent job
Mr Knott
I booked an MOT a few days in advance and was impressed by the availability and service. The only downside was that my car failed and I was quoted �170 for a part to be replaced and fitted.. I took the car away and paid �53 at another garage for the same work!
Anna rees
I found the manager iain both very friendly and helpful
Mrs Peploe
Perfect experience. Staff were polite, effective and the MOT was finished ahead of time
Mr Lloyd
Couldn't fault service - tyres in stock, timescale given for job and contact made on completion. Guarantee form completed by office and service was friendly and welcoming. However, 15 point safety check was requested but not completed but not unduly worried as recent service carried out by VW garage
Mr McLeod
The front desk team were polite and always kept me informed on status of the vehicle and were swift with the paperwork Thanks
Brilliant - I booked my MOT online and got it done the next day. Staff were very helpful and even unblocked my washer jets for nothing, charging me only for a replacement washer. Would come back again.
Ms Beresford
Took my car in at the time.I. booked it for and mot was done within and a hour with no problems.
Jason Fearn
Good efficient service, and great price. MOT was on time and didn't have to wait longer than needed
Mr Parker
the guys in wellingborough were brilliant
Mrs Findlay
Great service, easy to use website,
Booked some tyres to be fitted and an MOT. My car came out missing its wing mirror adjustment knob. Did question the garage and the chap on the desk went and got the chap and brought him through and he said he noticed it missing when he drove it in. Not wanting to accuse them of anything underhand I cannot prove, I left. I genuinely believe it was there when I dropped it off so we have an impasse. It is four stars as the chaps did bend over backwards in my treatment before the works and were polite. I most likely would use the garage again but be a little more careful.

Historically, Nissan (NASDAQOTH: NSANY ) has never really been known for offering a lot of diesel engine-equipped vehicles, but that may be changing.
On Thursday, Nissan announced that it will be putting a 5.0L V8 diesel engine built by Cummins Inc (NYSE: CMI ) in the next generation of its Nissan Titan full-sized pickup truck, due out sometime next year. Boasting more than 300 horsepower and approximately 550 pound-feet of torque, Nissan's newest Titan diesel should have approximately 25% more pulling power than its current gas-powered light duty pick-ups.
Commenting on these developments, Dr. Steve Dawson, CEO of SinterCast, which developed the cylinder blocks for the Cummins engines, noted in the Nissan announcement that "the increased use of diesel engines provides an important contribution toward helping OEMs meet the continual increase in Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ), as the standard increases from 27.5 miles per gallon (8.6 litres/100km) in 2010, to 54.5 mpg (4.3 litres/100 km) in 2025."
Editor's note: A previous version of this article named an incorrect supplier of the diesel engine for the Chrysler 2014 Ram 1500 pickup. The Fool regrets the error.
