Historical Traveler Reviews Tryp Macarena Seville
Great Value
For around 50 euros/ night a good quality hotel, room service, Films, mini bar were also very reasonable for a 4 star hotel and did not feel "ripped off" when paying the bill for the additional items as with similar hotels, in the UK for example.
Rooms were comfortable and there were slight noise issues as stated in other reviews but didn't really affect myself. I did expect more bar/ common areas etc, there was only one small bar which was generally quiet most of the time and didn't really serve any food so the only food outside the quite "formal" restaurant was in your room through room service.
As I was there for 5 nights the location about 2 km from the central area did not matter as it was pleasant walking throught the quaint streets and local squares not coming alive til after 10 pm and seeing more than the tourist trap areas, however, if you're there for just a couple of nights it may be wiser to stay closer to the points of interest.
Would recommend this to anyone and would say that if you have any complaints with the place just look at your bill at the end of your stay!!
Excellent value hotel
We were very happy with this hotel, which cost about the same as a 2 star hotel right downtown. It is easily accessible to all major sites and nice to be outside of all the tourist action at night. The rooms are very comfortable and quiet, only downside is a very tight bathroom. The hotel up top was a great bonus as well.
Loved my stay
Me and my husband stayed 4 days in Seville at the Hotel Macarena. We enjoyed every day there. The hotel was first class the staff were excellent. English was very good, Hotel room was clean and very well decorated had every thing you could possible need. Breakfast was lovely wide selection.
Bus into town was just out side the hotel. only cost one euro. Seville was wonderfull.
I would go back there tomorrow if i could.
Nice - get an inside room though
I liked the Macarena, but it does have some issues.The hotel was very clean and very attractive. The rooms are small especially for two big suitcases. The bathroom a tight fit, but that did not bother me. The lobby with tiled fountain was beautiful. The breakfast buffet odd. Lots of food, strange combinations. Like brussel sprouts and olives, along with the normal breakfast foods (both American and European). The front desk staff was so-so. Not very helpful or good with English.The bus stop is right across the street for going into town and right in front of the hotel for coming back.The Macarena Church (across the street) is fabulous. Take 10 minutes and go see it.Air conditioning is typically an issue in Europe (sometimes in America too). We visited on a warm March day and the windows had to be opened. The noise factor is pretty loud. The traffic doesn't cease until around 4 a.m. So get an inside room or earplugs or both.
Great bathroom, tight room
Not in the center of town but easy to get about. Bus across the street; cabs inexpensive.
Room was small but more than adequate, I was there to spend time in the town, not in my room other than sleep and wash. Beautiful blue marble bathroom with great, large towels. Nice hotel supplied toiletries. Nice closet storage. Wall mirrors made the room seem much lasrger and brighter than it was. Space was cramped before we brought our luggage in (two carry-on bags). One fit in the closet, the other went on the luggage rack which meant we couldn't get to the window without climbing over the chair placed between the desk and lamp table which was at the end of the nightstand. Get the idea? Room nicely decorated, just a lot of stuff.
Excellent breakfast buffet. OK evening buffet, much was overcooked or had been on the steam table too long. The cold dishes were very good and there was plenty of fresh fruit. Small bar off the lobby - pleasant. Some restaurant personel really rude! Service incident reported after first dinner. Next day maitre'd glared but said nothing.
Third day he smiled, maybe he knew we were leaving. A number of tourist groups were staying there plus a convention of Spanish cable communication people. Also saw airline crews.
Check in staff very nice. Bar staff pleasant.
Ancient Roman wall and Macarena Basilica across street to right. Short bus trip to Triana and ceramic factories.
There is lots of street noise but windows blocked out most. Agree with prior revews about hearing water in bathrooms but there was so much rain we were happy it was just the sound and we weren't wet.
Would be happy to return when the rain stops.
Cheap hotel, but probably would not stay again
We got a good deal on the hotel's website (50 euros per night). Price was great. Hotel was only okay. Location is out of the way (taxis in Seville are fairly cheap but the rides to/from the center of town began to add up). If we were to return, we'd look for something close to the Santa Cruz district. The rooms were fine. One complaint is that in the winter, there isn't much ventilation and the room can actually get quite stuffy during the day. When we arrived, it was suprisingly warm in the room and the only way to cool the room was by leaving our windows open all day and all night (if they have air-conditioning, it's turned off during the winter so opening the window is the only option to cool the room; unfortunately, it's very loud outside so you may have to choose between the heat and the noise).
A beautifull Hotel, inside and out. Well decorated, good facilites, lovely pool and views of the city from the roof terrace. The staff were very friendly and helpfull and I really enjoyed my stay!
Good location and value
We just spent 3 nights at the Tryp Macarena, a Sol Melia hotel. The rooms are well appointed, with large, marble baths, good towels, and doors between the bathroom which is in the entry and the bedroom which shuts out the hall noise. We got a great bargain on the Sol Melia website www.solmelia. com for 50 euros/night but not including breakfast. However, the walls are very thin and when the water ran in the bath next door I could have sworn it was in our room. With the A/C running and a white noise machine, we slept well. Do not get a room facing the street if noise bothers you. Lots of motor cyles, scooters, and buses. Good location. You can walk to almost all sites and the Macarena district is very interesting. All kinds of little restaurants around for breakfast and a short walk to the Guadelquivir River with a beautiful walkway and Salvatore Calatrava bridges.
My first trip to Spain and this hotel was wonderful. The welcoming lobby and the marvelous buffet was all you could want. The room was great and I had a wonderful stay there.
Very clean and well-kept but with a slightly impersonal air which extended to the staff's attitude to guests. Public areas are spacious and the rooms are smartly furnished but have walls thin enough to allow neighbouring guests' TV and conversations to be overheard. Somewhat inconvenient for the main sights and shops but taxis are plentiful.

Innovative Particle Trap System for Future Diesel Combustion Concepts
Future diesel car engines will have 'conventional' combustion at high and full loads, and partial homogeneous combustion at low loads with different emissions. This makes necessary to develop new cleaning devices. To ensure soot regeneration at the resulting low NO/NO2 and exhaust temperature levels, the research will develop a compact porous media design for the trap, with tuneable particle collection and multifunction catalytic nanostructured materials together with the needed control strategies.
Advanced diesel combustion processes for passenger car diesel engines, such as homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI), or partial homogeneous combustion, are developed for their potential to achieve near zero particulate and NOx emissions. One of the drawbacks of this technology is the difficult combustion control at medium and high loads and consequently a limited operating range where NOx and particulate emissions are at a very low level. For this purpose, novel exhaust cleaning devices are necessary to process the different loading areas with its specific emissions well below the Euro V emission level. To ensure soot regeneration for the needed particulate trap at the low NO/NO2 and exhaust temperature levels resulting from efficient combustion, the project focuses on a novel design of porous media and novel catalytic nanostructured materials in a compact unit, with tuneable soot particle collection that will accommodate multifunctional catalytic coatings.
The objectives will be a global filtration efficiency, even on ultra fine particulates above 95% with a nearly constant fuel consumption at slightly increased back pressure and advanced regeneration strategies in the range of 580°C in an acceptable time, therefore the focus lies on particulate and not only on CO and HC. In detail that means:
- PM< 0.001 g/km NEDC
- NOx: 0.06 g/km NEDC
- applicability to passenger cars as well as adaptability to truck engines
- fuel consumption equivalent to the Euro IV calibration including regeneration
- ability to run in all driving conditions.
One of the main pillars of the project is to design, develop, construct and test an innovative multifunctional filter/reactor (MFR) for treating the particulate and gaseous pollutants from the exhaust streams of a HCCI, partial homogeneity and conventional combustion process of a diesel engine in the complete engine map. The other main pillar is the development of advanced regeneration strategies to minimise active regeneration cases to avoid the risk of increasing the fuel consumption.
FEV Motorentechnik GmbH
Description of work
There will be different key activities in the project:
- Development and construction of the multifunctional reactor divided in two tasks.
Task 1A – MFR development:
- catalyst synthesis and deposition on small-scale filters
- construction of the MFR subunits
- MFR prototype assembly and initial assessment
- production of two fully-instrumented MFR prototypes for functional tests
Task 1B – MFR evaluation with engine tests for loading and regeneration:
- testing the MFR on a conventional multi-cylinder engine on steady-state and transient operation (NEDC)
- testing the system with the HCCI engine under steady-state conditions
- testing the system with applied control algorithms
- Physical modelling of particulate morphology on particulate trapping and the setting-up of a 3D CFD simulation model including all necessary boundary conditions. Due to the fact that the thermo-mechanical interactions in the system must be taken into account, the model must include a gas phase as well as a solid wall structure of the DPF (conjugate heat transfer).
Following this activity, an algorithms for the powertrain control unit using the 3D simulation real-time model of the complete exhaust system and different filter characteristics will be developed. This will take into account thermal behaviour, coating, loading and soot oxidation for the new filter, as well as the engine out emissions and exhaust temperature of the HCCI diesel engine to integrate the real behaviour of the trap system in the entire vehicle environment.
- Development of a MFR (multifunctional reactor) concept with:
- novel catalysts (material, porosity, etc.) to cope with the higher CO, HC emissions and lower exhaust temperature
- new DPF substrates to ensure passive regeneration and high filtration efficiency according to the soot characteristics produced by these future engines along with a low exhaust back pressure and high ash tolerance
- adapted exhaust line designs to improve DPF global performance with the specific constraints of HCCI engines (high EGR rate with possible impact of exhaust gas composition on EGR valve and cooler, low exhaust temperature, etc.).
- Development of advanced control strategy concepts for exhaust gas after-treatment systems for diesel engines for the management of DPF regeneration based on experimental and simulation investigations, at first with the goal to widen passive regeneration zone and then for a forced regeneration by minimising extra fuel consumption and avoiding excessive thermal shock for a better DPF durability.
- Overall time and cost reduction in developing exhaust gas after-treatment systems for diesel engines by improved simulation methods.
All these expected results are necessary to improve the exhaust emissions well below the expected Euro V level to cope with the future challenges of achieving environmentally-friendly vehicles for the EU citizens.

addendum: it's been more than a week since viewing they shoot horses, don't they? and i have to say, it's only grown in my appreciation. it is the rare movie that i am interested in seeing more than once. they come around maybe once every 2 or 3 years. the thing that all movies that i want to see again have in common, is that they are always, very taut, tightly woven stories, they are the quintessentual "well made [movies]." there are no loose ends, often the first shot carries as much meaning as the last as to the film and the charecter's trajectories. the mise-en-scene is carefully chosen and shot to reinforce the story. these are films that are meant to be read, and re-read. the last few movies i have wanted to see again: tale of two sisters, oldboy, 3 iron, and memories of murder.
yesterday i watched a movie that i had been waiting to see for some time. it's a movie that always ends up having snippets in film studies classes or movies about movies or movies about movies in the 70's, like the brilliant, a decade under the influence which regularly shows on ifc. that movie is they shoot horses, don't they?"
part of the interest for me is the odd titlle, but as i've said, it was made in the 70's. in american film, the 70's were, are and odd age. gone is a lot of the optimism of the 40's 50's and 60's. they gave way, because of watergate, vietnam, and other things to a disillusionment, and cynicism. on top of that it was the end of the old studio system so there was a new wave of filmakers who were financed largely because the studio couldn't figure out what audiences liked. the result is a group of movies about the individual, so unique, so different, and many of them so great that they deserve to be studied. they shoot, is one of those films.
the essentual story of they shoot horses is that it is a look at two people who sign up for a dance marathon in atlantic city durring the depression. the two people are robert, a rather wide eyed kid who gets pulled into the "contest" on accident, and gloria (jane fonda) a cynical street wise girl who knows all the angles, but thinks this is her one shot to pull herself out of her misery. the other main charecter is rocky, the smiling mc of the contest who promises $1500 to the winner. what follows, like most 70's movies, is an examination of their complete loss of innocence and hope. if that sounds a little bleak, well it is. let me put it this way, the thread on the top of the imdb site for they shoot horses as a threat titled: "your top 10 depressing movies". they shoot horses, is that.
here is a brief break, where i list some of my favorite depressing movies, in no particular order:
killer of sheep
they shoot horses, don't they?
life is sweet
last exit to brooklyn
house of sand and fog
requiem for a dream
bless the beasts and the children
a woman under the influence
in the mood for love
the passenger
cool hand luke
cries and whispers
penny serenade
pulse (original kirosawa version)
Abre los ojos (open your eyes)
benny's video
memories of murder
samarian girl
boys don't cry
mie vie en rose (my life in pink)
dog day afternoon
at this point, i should confess, i have always prefered depressing movies. there is something about them that makes me think i'm being told the truth warts and all. i have never had much of an appitite for saccarine, so depressing is quite alright with me.
they shoot horses is a very strange movie. not in terms of it's telling, it's all in flash back, and it's naturalistic almost to a fault. no, what makes it odd is it's sparseness. save the last scene, there is nothing extra.it is unbelievably, spare: there is only one location, more or less, there is almost no back story on the people in it, the three main charecters are the exception, but even what we are given of them is trimmed to the bone. no one in this movie really wants to talk, they are all facing the grimness of their lives with an attempt at stoicism. for the meat of the movie, we are shown the marathon floor with it's racetrack and stands, backstage with the mc and backstage with the contestants. there are a couple of different places at the begining, ending and flashbacks, but they hardly amount to much, no, this movie wants you to concentrate on this claustrophobic little sadistic dog and pony show, and nothing else. by the end of the movie, one is so worn down, the end, which is no suprize really comes as much of a relief as it does to the two leads.
now that i've totally scared you off of the movie, i have to tell you, i loved it. i absolutely loved it. it was completely worth the wait of the umpteen years it's taken me to get around to seeing it. this, is what i love in a movie. not just the depressing aspect, but that it is so focused, so well made. nothing is in the movie unless it has reason to be. each event, the lines, the scenes, all of it. and the way it's shot, it seems so matter of fact, even though i know they had to produce special techniques to shoot the derby scenes, they fade in. the women's eyes, in they shoot horses, seem so loaded with misery, that they haunt. there is one scene with a woman in a shower, and her eyes well up in a way that is like a punch in the stomach. it's so effecting, and when i look back at it i am almost stupified as to how. but the secret here, is that they shoot horses is self reflexive-- it is about more than just this little "contest". it is about people in the movie theatre as well as in the stands at the marathon, it is, at it's heart it is an endictment of capitolism's failings in the depression era AND the 70's, and now. it is about having the deck stacked against you. one thing that has occured to me, in the last hour thinking about the film,(and this movie is one that gets better in hindsight the more you think about it), is that they shoot horses is neo-noir in the best 70's sense. a fantastic film, and one that i would consider one of my favorites.
below are snippets of my comments from imdb's they shoot horses, don't they? board. i post under the name, "it's poop!" my exclaimation when a movie is less than good. there is a bit of over lap but....you can read the comments in context there, or use them here to think about the film, to tell me your take on the movie or whatever, in the comments (i love a good film debate, especially when i am wrong) ..............or you can ignore them.
Q:why is gloria such a bitch?
i think i have to disagree with this idea of gloria being a bitch. she is the embodyment of people who have been so beaten down, the bite everyone. it's like that abused dog that turns on his master. she and rocky have been down this road before. they know each other, and every one of her snide comments is a growl warning others. when the dress gets stolen like most people i thought gloria might have done it, but it was rocky, who is the real villan in the piece-- the smiling facade of a sadistic system. it is no accident that he was a former faith healer's shill. and as it says he comes from a family of them, but back to the point-- the shill is the one who restores people's faith, returns their belief in something, but it is all a lie.
Q:why is robert so simple?
robert is the stand in for the audience in a lot of ways, innocent, but not easily led. when he talks about the brain tumor movie, it is gloria's cynical take on it that says it was, even in her words "probably" wrong. not proof of robert being simple. and when asked a second time about the marrage idea, he again protested. the point was that you had these two charecters-- one, gloria, cynical, streetwise, bitter and knowing all the angles (she had done these things before which is why the old lady was a fan), and the other rob't. who really didn't know about the marathon, but thru events (the death of the sailor, the dress), comes to know about them. both of these people-- polar opposites lose their optimism thru this horrible "contest." remember, at the end of the film, it's not gloria who starts with the depressed talk, he does. out on the pier, there is the shot of the ocean, and he starts talking about how he used to love the ocean, now he doesn't care. it's no accident this scene takes place at night-- remember the scene where rob't dances alone in the sunlight? or the one where he wants to watch the sunset? the movie charts his (and her),loss of innocence. i don't think that his last words, "they shoot horses, don't they?" was made to make him a simpleton either. to me it meant, "it was the least i could do." it struck me as a rather sophisticated understanding of his and gloria's situation-- it meant when someone is in such misery it's nothing but cruelty to leave them like that. even a horse gets put out of his misery. it's the sort of thing that was eluded to earlier in the film, and they are constantly refered to as animals in different ways, like when gloria sarcastically remarks before the wedding idea, "what's next? put us in cages and have them throw peanuts at us?
Q:what did rocky show gloria that got her so upset?
while the amount is NOT revealed to us, we can only go by her reaction, which, for someone who has dragged a deadman across a finishline and suffered for more than 45 days, is to see that it is all a scam. it seems she knows that her prize --if she won-- is zilch. the deck is stacked against her. it's like those people who bought things from the company store on credit-- sooner or later you find yourself an indentured servant, and working not for money but to pay an insurmoutable debt.
Q:why did gloria quit the contest?
it was a scam. the whole point of it was to put on a show. it's repeatedly refered to as such. when rob insists it's a contest, rocky sets him straight-- it's a show, and they are there to suffer, to give people something to believe in. rocky is, and always has been a sham artist-- think about it-- in a movie where the charecters have so little backstory, why do we know more about rocky than almost anyone else? thru the whole movie, he lies, cons, and cheats, he seduces. for all intents and purposes he is the devil himself, he is the loaded gun out to kill both gloria and rob from the very begining-- remember how and why rob got in the contest? he was curious, but rocky pulled him in as a partner to gloria.
Q:why does gloria want to die?
editorially, it's as she says, it's the finale, the climax of the movie. and the movie tells you many times thru roberts flashbacks (a sort of coming attractions) she will end up dead. as for her motivation, the reason she decides she wants to die is that she (and robert) have lost all hope. this was the one thing she thought she could do, and thru the whole movie she is cynical about everything but winning-- until-- the mc tells her even if she wins she gets nothing. the tab she will have acrued, it's implied, will eat up all her prize money. think about it, the mc tells her that the "kids" take up a lot of expenses, but the only people who have to pay for the expenses are the winners? what kind of sense does that make, if he's trying to make back his costs? here was the one thing that gloria thought she could do, and she finds the deck is stacked against her. she is cynical to a fault but this one ray of sunshine is taken away. she has nothing left.
Q:why don't we find out who won the contest?
one reason is that it was told in flashback by robert, and he was in jail/dead by the time the contest ended, but editorially,
anyone who wanted to see who won even for a second (myself included), fell for the trap in the film-- falling prey to the spectacle, wanting to see more of the awful suffering of those poor charecters. the sadistic show wasn't for the people in the stands of the movie, but rather for the audience WATCHING THE MOVIE. but more than that, not knowing serves the purpose of pointing out in this contest, there are no winners.
Q:what makes you think this is a neo-noir film?
well, it has all the componants of one:it's fatalistic, there is no escape for most of the charecters. they end up dead/having a nervous break down; it shows some sort of descent into darkness/immorality, it's claustrophobic, ends with a death, has the main charecter having some sort of visualization/mental break down (the horse/gloria shooting), and its told in flashback.
Q:ok, smart ass, if that was a neo-noir (and i'm not saying it was), who is the femme fatale?
not that all noir have them, but it's gloria. she seduces robert into being in the contest, and certianly fits the street wise architype.

The highly touted psycological thirller from our friends at Remedy has finally hit shelves last week. The game plays on one of mankinds most subtle fears, the things that lurk in the dark. Were we born with this innate fear; or did it manifest because of our need to create a world where there is evil in the dark and good in light. Whatever the case may be. Remedy used this idea as creatively as Koontz, Lamsdale, or Poe to create an omnimous atmosphere thourghout the entire game. Alan Wake is a testament to the way narrative and game design has been progressing throughout the years.
The refreshing thing about this piece is that it fills the roll for nostagia. Anyone who has played Max Payne will know what I mean. Remedy is still in the trenches making their created world feel alive by adding little bits of flavor thoroughout the game. That is what makes you become absorbed into the world, just like a good book. It's the little things that flesh out the greater picture of what going on. Even down to the history of the town, Remedy put much thought into making something that drew the audience in. V.S. Napul said "All the details of the life and the quirks and the friendships can be laid out for us, but the mystery of the writing will remain. No amount of documentation, however fascinating, can take us there". The facinating thing is, I believe Remedy did take us there, if not just for a moment

When I flew out of IAD several weeks ago, I noticed the jetway to my plane was air conditioned. I was told many of IAD's jet bridges are climate controlled for your comfort. I also visited Dew Bridges and they indeed offer air conditioning as an option. Are there many jetways with A/C? This may seem frivolous but, your average jetway is an enclosed tin can which gets quite toasty during the summer and freezing during the winter. And, I wonder if the MAA (Maryland Aviation Authority) will live large and splurge on air conditioning on the new concourse A jetways that will be the showcase for the kingdom of WN at BWI? http://www.dewbridge.com/products/aprondrive.html

Skip to comments.Cornyn votes against raising the debt ceiling
Posted on 02/15/2014 8:08:04 AM PST by jimbo123
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) issued the following statement after voting against raising the debt ceiling.
After five years of out-of-control White House spending, including a jobless, trillion-dollar stimulus, now is hardly the time to give the President carte blanche to continue his spending spree. I voted against raising the debt ceiling because we need sensible reforms to cut down on spending and restrain Washington going forward.
(Excerpt) Read more at yourhoustonnews.com ...
what a two-faced liar.
if it weren't for algore and his internets, people like cornyn would be getting away with it still
What bugs me is his arrogance.
Meaning, the sum bitch actually thinks this Texan is so stupid that he would not understand the meaning of "that other vote" when viewed up along side this one.
Sorry—too little, too late, you SOS!
But... but... the radio ad says that he stands up to Obamao EVERY SINGLE DAY!
The corruption and deceit in Congress, and our betrayal by the Republicans, hardly warrants my attention these days, but isn't this one of the weasels who voted FOR the law by voting for cloture - which would assure its passage later, and then - to impress his low-info constituents that he's really on their side - voted AGAINST the law in the actual done-deal vote.
Have I got that right?
The book, Extortion, will tell you all you ever need to know to realize that DC is a cesspool that needs draining, and I'm frankly way beyond caring the means by which it is drained.
Don't take it personally. He was reaching out to all the Texans who have been putting him into one office or another since 1990.
Before or after he voted for closure?
After, of course. Just like he did for Amnesty and Obamacare funding.
He doesn't have to fool all of you. He only needs to fool slightly more than half. Senator Cornyn may be a covert, big government spender, but he's not apparently an idiot. What do you expect him to do? Do you think he'd actually admit he likes spending money we don't have? No. He probably wants to be reelected.
What are Texans like you going to do to about it? That's the question that really matters.
Set a clock Cornyn.
If it weren't for the junior senator of TEXAS, Ted Cruz, the senior senator's re-election path would be the usual, business-as-usual. You know, campaign in the weeds of the Right, serve and govern 24/7 on the socialist Left.
Conservatives are useful tools to Cornyn victories, but now Cruz has shamed him, mocked him, exposed him albeit not directly, but listen to him on RINOS. Cornyn has to be squealing like a scalded piglit in private.
Set a clock Cornyn. Yes, the old bait then switch has been perfected.
It's true, Texans don't understand what cloture means.
Sen. Cornyn getting loudly booed at the ATX tea party on July 4th.
Please Texans...do the right thing and kick this two-faced liar out.
I knew it without checking. Know the man, know the MO. Good luck Texas dumping this guy. We have our own problems in Az.
"I voted for it before I voted against it."
Where have I heard that before?
........well, I agree that a lot of LIV'S in Texas obviously don't since they continue to send this narcissist to dc......
We need to stop with the niceties and identify Cornyn as a F'n liar.
Show vote liar!
Lol, a lot of us are trying our best!
You pos john kerry emulating turd... you voted for cloture and even whipped it so that the bill would come to the floor for an assured VICTORY vote... and you made a symbolic vote against it. You are a LIAR, CHEATER and THIEF cornholio!
Early voting in the Texas Primary begins next Tuesday (February 18). I pray my fellow Texas Republican voters will be reciting their ABCs in the voting booth.
Anybody But Cornyn.
Have you heard or seen any polling data? Any speculation as to what the campaigns are
seeing in their data. I'm sure some are collecting some polling data. Thanks
Sorry, I don't have a source on the inside in this race with access to internals.
Thanks, it seems to me that at least some polling agency would have done a public poll
but none exist that I can find. I'm sure at a minimun that Cornyn has. Maybe that is why
he's blanketing the media with ads. Who knows but we'll know in about 17 days as
Mar. 4 is fast approaching.

The EITC Program is guided by a community-based Coalition, which includes, Russell Pry-Summit County Executive, Mayor William Judge (City of Barberton), the Internal Revenue Service, Akron Summit Community Action Inc., Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority (AMHA), Info line Inc., United Way of Summit County, the American Red Cross, the Summit Chapter of the Ohio Credit Union League, Community Legal Aid, Akron Summit County Public Library, Summit County Ohio Jobs and Family Services, PNC Bank, First Merie Bank, The University of Akron, Kent State Uiversity and Summit County Executive Office.
Congress originally approved the tax credit legislation in 1975 in part to offset the burden of social security taxes and to provide an incentive to work. When the EITC exceeds the amount of taxes owed, it results in a tax refund to those who claim and qualify for the credit.
To receive a refund, taxpayers must meet certain requirements and file a tax return. The taxpayers could qualify even if they paid little or no income tax during the year.
The EITC has no effect on certain welfare benefits. In most cases, EITC payments will not be used to determine eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), food stamps, low-income housing or most Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) payments.
The credit enjoys wide bipartisan support because of its proven record in helping to reduce poverty, reward work, provide tax relief, stimulate the economy and meet basic expenses for working families.
Looking for Volunteers
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program is looking for volunteers interested in sharing their skill, talent and knowledge with our community by volunteering to prepare tax returns.

My favorite soup! I omit the tripe (sacrilege) because my wife says it feels like an old bathing cap. Followed the recipe as written, except substituted pork hocks for the veal knuckle. Worked just fine and tasted great. Cheers.
Thanks Karen! This recipe is almost a carbon copy of the one I had in my old recipe collection that has now been lost forever. I live in Thailand now and needed this recipe to introduce Mam, my Thai wife, to original Mexican food. She loved it and loved the smell of it cooking, as I always did. This was an expensive endeavor for me, since I had to order the hominy from a store online and have it shipped here. Can't get certain things here as easy as when I was living in El Paso, TX!
I just "love" Menudo" !!!!! Thanks

text: Cancel the plutonium fuel factory Matthew Bunn and Gary Samore just published an op-ed arguing that the program to build a factory that converts excess plutonium from dismantled nuclear weapons into plutonium-uranium mixed oxide fuel for nuclear reactors has become too expensive. Although the two helped to launch the program in the mid-90s, they argue "It is time to stop throwing good money after bad and pursue cheaper alternatives that will serve our national security better" and "whatever we do with this plutonium in the long term, we should move to put it under international monitoring, and commit never again to use it in weapons..."

Dr. Wang-Ashraf is truly an artist whose work is more of a sculptor than a plastic surgeon. She's brilliant with an incredibly warm disposition. I never thought I'd ever have any kind of cosmetic plastic surgery on my breast; but when they dropped, I hated the way my body looked. I made an appointment to see Dr. Wang-Ashraf and felt immediately at ease with her, and truly trusted her from my initial consultation. She's enthusiastic and very "down-to-earth". I couldn't be more pleased with the results of my mastoplexy and implants to keep me the size that I've always been prior to gravity setting-in. She actually made my breasts sit better than they ever did before as I never could see my entire upper torso. Dr. Wang-Ashraf is AMAZING and I can't recommend her enough!!! (I'm the 6th of her patients that I personally know.) If you want the best when it comes to "the girls", Dr. Wang-Ashraf is the one and only to make sure they're incredible!!!
Had breast implants and mini tummy tuck. Scarring was bad, implants were uneven. Had to pay for scar revision on my stomach after Dr. Wang Ashraf had already tried to fix it herself in her office and made it worse. There are too many good plastic surgeons in Atlanta to risk it with her. Plus her staff in Johns Creek is extremely rude. Staff in Atlanta seemed very nice though.
From the first minute of my consultation to my final healing, I had the best experience. Dr. Bernadette Wang Ashraf explained the surgery and recovery, and she gave me my breast/body back (only better!). She is an extremely experienced surgeon who does amazing work. I have two friends who also had plastic surgery by her and are thrilled with their results as well.
Terrible. All the fluff but the result was terrible. Mini tummy tuck on a thin person with a bunch of skin from child birth. Never informed about a lateral scar that makes wearing a bikini impossible. So regretful

Act Now! will showcase career development opportunities in the hospitality industry and address skills gaps.
Suzy Jackson, executive director of the Hospitality Guild, explained that the campaign was designed to "meet the needs of businesses of all sizes".
"With more than 2.5m people unemployed throughout the UK, the hospitality industry is in a fantastic position to be able to help move people into work, especially through apprenticeships – and at the same time address its current skills gaps.
"We want everyone to be able to take part, from small businesses that have never employed an apprentice before, through to large companies that are already employing hundreds of apprentices each year.
"We've developed a series of five simple steps that an employer can take, regardless of how big or small they are or whether they've employed an apprentice before.
"We wanted to create a campaign so that people knew exactly what they were being asked to do when we say Act Now!"
Five steps
- Using pre-employment training designed specifically for the hospitality industry – or hiring someone who has completed the programme
- Hiring an apprentice by working with an apprenticeship training association, which acts in a similar way to a recruitment agency for apprentices
- Using innovative tools to deliver apprenticeships
- Becoming a registered Good Employer on the industry's careers guidance website, UKSP
- Providing career progression by employing someone on a higher apprenticeship in hospitality management or progressing existing staff into new roles.

Creating a strong blog foundation is important if you intend to attract plenty of visitors your site. Here are 4 standard components you'll need to establish and observe after for your blog to attract audience.
1) Your Blog needs a persona.
Remember that one of the most popular incorporates a blog can extend for you to its readers is a distinctive personality. The tone along with delivery distinguishes your blog. Target it to your own personality. It is recommended since you'll be placing to it regularly thereby generating your post more 'natural' and easier for you to create. Typically the personality of any blog site can make or break typically the success of that blog. Decide on yours and maintain its persistence!
2) Determine your sites purpose.
This is the reason you made your blog. It is what issue, problem, or market anyone originally targeted. Stick to it! Take care of your consistency! Your readers are traveling to your blog based upon the subject subject that you've established early on. No longer confuse or betray these people by wandering from the sites original theme. Remember, it took a little time for a good amount of effort to gain their very own loyalty to begin with. If they commence to drift away guess what, you aren't starting over AGAIN!
3) Consider the Quantity of your Posts.
In the beginnings stages of your blog it's good to post frequently in order to gain consideration and establish a reader bottom part within the 'community'. Without repeated postings it is easy for your site to be overlooked. As your site visitors increases you can focus deep into the QUALITY of your post. The easy idea here is to get their very own attention (frequent postings) then maintain their readership due to 'worthiness' of your entries (quality posts. )
4) Utilize Interactivity of your Blog.
Just about the most popular features (and benefits) of a blog is the potential for your readers to abandon comments. This is an opportunity for typically the blogger to ask questions along with use the feedback to improve about posts, products, layout, and also other areas the readers may experience need improvement. Listen to responses left. They can help you make speedy improvements. Visit other sites within your 'community' and connect to them. Leave comments altho ALWAYS be sure your responses are appropriate, constructive, or intriguing. By leaving a personal unsecured with your comment (your brand and a link back to your blog site or website) you've only opened up a new avenue involving targeted traffic to your site. This is important which is easy to do!
The efforts putting into building a solid blog site foundation will reflect from the amount of traffic to your site. Eventually thhere will be a time when you've been 'discovered'. You'll know this with the influx of readers anyone suddenly have due to a unique post you made or perhaps the increase in the popularity of your topic. Take advantage and put more focus on the 'quality' of your posting. You're on center stage at this point, congratulations!
Developing a strong blog site foundation serves to give your web site a unique identity which is normally a reflection of your personality! Naturally the best way to do this is by generating content that best shows you as a person when also accomplishing certain aims as well! In doing so you found a blogging platform that is certainly easier for viewers to spot with and develop a faithfulness towards!
Since the unique information you want to establish will be a consequence of what you post here are several things you want to mindful involving when creating content for your web-site!
Be You
Show your persona or present yourself in many ways in which you are comfortable! Blogs is a long term process and the ones will become attracted to and accustom with your delivery style. Coupled those lines it is essential that you can and will maintain the similar 'style' of delivery at the same time! You must be comfortable in your 'own' skin that's why using your individual personality works best! This alone gives you the unique identity you want all things considered, there is only one you possibly even I'll assume!
Show Perspective
When appropriate to the written content do not be afraid to words your opinion. People can appreciate this whether they trust you or not since almost all everybody has got an interest about what others are thinking! This is a wonderful means to engage the readers on your blogs platform and get a problem. Whether they agree or don't agree is immaterial since this contributes to a greater level of interactivity which often helps create and maintain feeling of community. In this way the people are generally coming together and relationship on your site and this is precisely what you want!
Creating written content that increases the knowledge of your readership or otherwise enlightens them causes you to more valuable to them along with them more loyal for your requirements! Even if it is merely a assumed provoking statement that 'stirs the pot' a bit you wish to 'stimulate' your readers whenever you could! People like to be stunted, taught or otherwise entertained! Try to be00 a talk show host on the net except without being grossly overpaid!
The strength of your blog foundation typically is based upon the unique information you have established through the revisions you post. Obviously all this starts with creating written content and how you do so mainly because it needs to reflect a certain 'personality' while also accomplishing selected objectives! The 3 suggestions earlier mentioned identify areas you want to keep in mind when composing any revisions for your blogging platform! To do so you develop and maintain a clear face-identity and/or direction which people can more quickly identify! The ultimate goal is usually to develop a more deeply rooted faithfulness amongst your readers thereby supplying you with a much stronger foundation on your blogging platform!

text: Home > Lifestyle > Woman > News 01 February 2013 Texting doesn't replace actual talking Scientists say that today's ubiquitous online social communication may not confer the same feel-good effects as plain old talking. 0 Quiz Is my diet healthy? » 10 odours our noses can identify 6 body language mistakes to avoid It's hard to quibble with the speed and convenience of connecting through texts and instant messages, but scientists say that today's ubiquitous online social communication may not confer the same feel-good effects as plain old talking. Studying a group of girls, US researchers found that key emotion-linked hormones - including cortisol and oxytocin - responded in potentially beneficial ways when the girls talked over a stressful event with their mothers compared to when they texted about it. "We're not really sure why, but maybe hearing that voice is special. Hearing someone's voice is not only able to convey tone and sincerity, but also identity," said study author Leslie Seltzer, a postdoctoral fellow in the department of psychology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. "A child can identify that person is definitely their parent, whereas with texting they can't. It's perhaps not particularly surprising but applicable, because everyone likes using texting or instant messaging so much . . . but people should know that it's not necessarily eliciting the same [emotional response]." How the study was done The study, recently presented at a meeting of the Society of Personality and Social Psychology in New Orleans, was published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior. Seltzer and her colleagues compared the hormonal responses of 68 girls between the ages of nearly eight and 12 when hearing their mother's voice with those who communicated with their mothers via instant message after completing a stressful math and verbal test. Compared to girls who texted their mothers after the stressor, those who either spoke to their mothers by phone or in person had lower levels of cortisol - the "stress" hormone - and higher levels of oxytocin, known as the "love hormone" because of its link to forming positive relationships. The hormone levels of the instant-messaging group were similar to those of a control group of girls who weren't allowed any contact with their mothers after the test. One expert praised the study. "I think we need to see a lot more research like this," said Bert Uchino, a professor of social psychology and health psychology at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. "The fact that they kept track of cortisol and oxytocin and the finding on both measures was stress-related makes me more confident about the findings . . . They did a true experiment that can rule out a lot of alternative explanations." Uchino pointed out, however, that while emotion-related hormones rose and fell in ways that indicated a stress response when the girls texted, participants didn't actually report feeling stressed when doing so compared to when they spoke to their mothers. "People really don't know what's going on in their bodies," he said. "People may think this [type of communicating] is very similar, because they're not reporting any more stress. There's very little work going on like this, that's trying to compare if different modes of communication are equally effective." A recent PEW survey confirmed that texting is becoming the primary means of communication among teens. The 2012 study found that 63% of teens exchange text messages every day, while 39% call people by cellphone on a daily basis. Twenty-two percent said they use instant-messaging daily.

The class use phased-array radar; the increased combat capability offered by the Aegis combat system and the AN/SPY-1 radar system justified the changing of the classification of Ticonderoga and Yorktown from DDG (guided missile destroyer) to CG (guided missile cruiser). Vincennes and Valley Forge may or may not have been authorized as DDGs; regardless, the DDG sequence continued with USS Arleigh Burke as DDG-51. Of the "Ticos", at least eight (Ticonderoga, Cowpens, Anzio, Yorktown, Valley Forge, Bunker Hill, Antietam and Princeton) share names with World War II aircraft carriers. Only one, Thomas S. Gates, is not named for a battle.
