Historical Traveler Reviews Alexander Thomson Hotel Glasgow
Total let down
We booked in here as we needed a night away from every day stress in life, and we knew there was problems as the reception asked for payment before we got our room, then we thought we would order room service, eh.. they dont do it, then we asked if we could have breakfast served in our room eh.. they dont do it, breakfast is only served between 7.30 and 9.30 and if that wasnt bad enough we were just drifting off to sleep at around 1.30 am when someone let themselves into our room, we checked out that morning were still waiting to see if we can get our money back, never ever again,
Pay the extra money and go to a nice hotel!
I knew we were in for trouble when the taxi driver kept suggesting other hotels. The place was filthy. Stained carpets. Shoddy workmanship. The door to our room would only open half way. The elevator was thick with a sticky goo and smelled of bug spray. Other guest look like they were down on their luck, toothless woman, poor families, refugees. Scarry characters hung around the lobby. I didn't feel safe or welcomed.
Dont stay here!!
Where do I begin - I should have realised there was a problem when they asked for payment before I had seen the room. The 2 windows in the room were cracked, the tiles in the bathroom were cracked and coming away from the floor, the shower cubicle was dirty and had dead wood lice on the floor, no plug in the sink, the carpet was filthy, the wardrobe rail had broken and was stuck together with sellotape the taxi that they should have booked did'nt turn up. I was in Glasgow on business & this was the only hotel the travel agency could find as unfortunately there were no other hotel rooms available due to there being a large conference on so I had no choice but to stay. If I had read the previous reviews I would have opted to stay outside of the Glasgow area.
Not too clean or friendly
I was greatly disappointed in the Alexander Thomson. While it is very convenient (downtown Glasgow) and not too expensive, it was not a pleasant stay. I was not expecting the Ritz but was very disappointed in the cleanliness of this hotel. I found hair in my breakfast, chewing gum in my bed, I was disturbed when the do not disturb sign was out and my room was not made up when it wasn't. I wrote a letter of complaint to the hotel but haven't had any response although this stay was almost 6 months ago. I would never stay here again. The staff were not too friendly either. Thankfully, I had much better experiences with hotels and B&Bs in the rest of Scotland.
A dream stay in a busy world
It was a pleasure staying at such a fine architectural building, where it has to be said the staff compliment it so well. Having travelled the world many times i have yet to meet such friendly professional and accomodating people. the Hotel manager never considered any request to big. all in all i will be reccomending this hotel to family and friends alike.
What a Difference
What difference to this hotel from before, recommend this hotel if visting Glasgow,
Very nice hotel
Great hotel to stay in and very nice staff value for money.
Alexander Thomson Hotel, Glasgow - WARNING!
I had unfortunately already booked this place before I read the reviews of it on this site and then was very worried indeed. I did think it was far too cheap but lived in hope! However, I was glad that I had read the reviews, since at least I was forewarned. I absolutely concur with the other reviews of this appalling place. Made to pay in advance! (always a bad sign), dreadful, stark room in disrepair, stained duvet covers, filthy carpets and chairs, filthy curtain, outside, the hallway walls had bare/exposed plaster. I even stuck a chair against my room door because I felt unsafe, (it didn't have any extra security eg double lock, chain, etc that hotels usually have). Next day, I didn't even try the breakfast. I couldn't get out the place fast enough! Luckily I was there for only one night (all my usual hotels were booked up). Next day when I told my taxi driver where I'd stayed, he was appalled! DO NOT BE MISLED BY THE HOTEL'S WEBSITE - IT IS VERY MISL!EADING. 21 March 2003
Alexander Thomson
I would like to warn people of the dire state the Alexander Thomson Hotel (320 Argyle Street, Glasgow) is in. I had organised a suprise valentines weekend for my girlfriend who has always wanted to visit Glasgow, so I wanted to choose a hotel with a bit of style. The websites I visited all pictured the Alexander Thomson as a clean and stylish hotel, which was reasonably priced at �55 per night. However, when we arrived we were taken to a freezing small room that looked more like a backpacker's hostel in some run down area. It was nothing like the literature we had read! there was food on the room carpets, missing tiles, exposed drainage pipes, dust on the bathroom floor, springs virtually poking through the bed's matress. After my girlfriend had stopped crying (i am not exaggerating) there was a knock on the door from an African woman who had left a picture of her child in the room. It appears that she had only recently moved out to another room! We went down to breakfast the next morning and was amazed at the lack of service as we were hovering around left unattended and discovered a lack of cutlery and cups, I had to use a desert spoon to stir my Tea!!Needless to say, we complained and were put into a much nicer room (a suite) for the final two days of our stay but, although it was much more comfortable, the chairs were filthy, and the bathroom only partly decorated!! In addition, it appears that the hotel has foreign residents, many of whom appeared to be african and unable to speak a word of english. This in itself indicated that this was no normal "hotel" and I would advise everyone to stear clear!
Shocked at the alexander thomson
arrived after travelling for almost eight hours expecting a hot shower and some food before going out. instead was kept waiting in reception while they tried to find out if our room was ready (3pm) then sent to wait upstairs in the lounge, we stood there, didn't sit as the place was such a state, food on the carpets,windows dirty curtains hanging off.various people wandering around and sitting on stairs,a woman with a pushchair and two children in one hand and a cooked chicken in the other, no joking, after about half an hour of this decided to escape, we told the receptionist we wern't staying and managed to find another hotel,clean tidy and welcoming ,never again trying the Alexander Thomson

Landed into Glasgow Scotland this morning at 8:00. Great flight, no issues, beautiful sunrise! Customs was a breeze, so was the car rental. We load our bags into the car and realize we left our GPS in the rental car in Toronto! Renting a GPS is not an option, buying is cheaper. So off we go in on the opposite side of the road, with the driver on …
Mull, Skye, and North West Scotland 10th - 14th
... We decided not to go as there were lots of day trippers on the 3 Island Tour in big busses. Went to the Island weavers that was very interesting it has been relocated for the last 12 years and has new owners. They use wool from Mull and the main land but they said that it is cheaper to import from Aust. Dave they had a narrow 1930 carpet weaving machine there that they still use. Saw our first highland cow had to stop for a photo. We then travelled the scenic route to Salen. ...
Our last weekend
... I said to her towards the end, "you must be exhausted after one of these tours!" and she said, "och, I do need a wee sup o' water!" But I fear for the long-term damage to her vocal chords, as we saw her doing it all again about half an hour later.
The tour was worth it, as it gave us a good idea of the various buildings on the rock, what we wanted to see and what we wouldn't bother about. It appears to be mostly military museums (count 'em, THREE!) and ...
On Friday we didn't catch the bus until midday so we decided to see how good the boxing day sales were. There was a tonne of clothes with prices that had been slashed but the longer we stayed in town the more people that flooded in. So as soon as I found a jacket to wear on New Years we got out of there. By the time we got back to the hotel it was time to jump in a cab and head to the bus station. We arrived at Glasgow by 6pm and ...
Gypsies? no.
... tim slowed the car to a stop and we tried to take a photo with the aid of the car lights for a bit of help. Suddenly after some time of ignoring us as we got ourselves organised the poor cow looked up and his fringe must have moved and he saw us got a bit of a fright and stumbled down the hill. Poor thing, but he was ok he just gave himself a bit of a shake as if to say "I totally meant to do that!"
Edinburgh was great, ...

My DS has his school pictures tomorrow for preschool. I'm not sure how I feel about them. I just never thought preschoolers got school pictures done. I thought it was only K-12. The biggest package is $54.00 and it goes all the way down to $22.00. But if you get the package for $22.00 you dont get hardly anything. The package I am wanting is $34.00. Is it worth getting pictures done so early? He is only 3 and this is his first year at preschool. He will actually be in preschool for another 2 years because his birthday just misses the cut-off date. Should I get 3 years worth of preschool pictures? I dont even know what he will wear! lol.

Do you know how to make your social media posts accessible? In this article, we discuss ways to reduce accessibility barriers when writing posts, sharing links, and posting images and video.
A series on accessibility topics for web writers. Covers the accessibility guidelines for text, images and PDF documents; using free tools to evaluate the accessibility of content.

3 useful tools for web writers
One of the great things about the Internet is the range of tools and information now available—often for free. Here are 3 free tools I recommend. They're simple to use. And they'll help you write better content for your organisation's website, intranet or blog.
Relying on PDF online? 6 reasons to stop
Many organisations are stuck on PDFs. Systems to help us create and manage information in more flexible formats exist. We're just not using them. Perhaps we don't realise why we should. We see the cost of change, but we're blissfully unaware of the cost of locking up content in PDFs.
Haiku for Global Accessibility Awareness Day
Global Accessibility Awareness Day aims to get people talking, thinking and learning about digital accessibility. To mark the occasion we created a set of haiku for web writers, based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
When is an image 'purely decorative'?
Accessibility guidelines require us to use 'purely decorative' images in ways that let assistive technologies ignore them. Web writers do this by leaving text alternatives blank. This sounds simple enough, but sometimes it's hard to decide when an image is 'purely decorative'. In this article we discuss some examples that divide opinion and argue that blank text alternatives are often best.
Reducing reliance on PDF documents online
Some organisations publish large amounts of their online content as PDF documents. But PDF is rarely chosen because it's been assessed as the best format for the content. In this article we discuss ways to reduce reliance on PDF.
Accessibility evaluation for web writers
Web writers should know how to check if their content is accessible. It's not a difficult skill to learn, and a few simple tools will help. In this article, we discuss evaluating content against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0.
Text alternatives for images with captions
Web writers must provide a text alternative for informative or functional images. But what should you do when the image also needs a caption? In this article we discuss the options.
A-Z of better web writing
If you want to write better web content, here's an A-Z that should help. It covers attributes of quality content and other issues web writers should be aware of.
Don't let your CMS wreck your content – part 2
A CMS can create problems for your content if you let it generate file names or text alternatives for images. This article discusses system behaviour to watch out for.
Writing for the web versus print
Good writing is good writing, regardless of the medium. So what makes writing for the web different to writing for print? In this article, we discuss one key difference—technical knowledge.
Consistent identification – accessibility for web writers
Use icons and their text alternatives consistently throughout your content.
Pronunciation – accessibility for web writers
Provide a pronunciation for words that are spelt the same, but mean different things when pronounced in different ways. However, in English, it's usually possible to decide the meaning from the context.

Logitech Harmony Touch remote control
A programmable universal remote with a colour touchscreen
- Comprehensive device support
- Supports 15 devices simultaneously
- Works well (after setup)
- My Harmony software is finicky
- Adjusting activities is complicated
- Limited customisation of device controls
Bottom Line
Logitech's newest remote controls sits comfortably in the middle of its product line-up. The Harmony Touch is more than capable enough for most home theatre setups, but setting it up is more complicated than it needs to be.
Price$ 249.95 (AUD)
The Harmony Touch is a remote control from Logitech's Harmony line-up. It's more advanced than the Harmony 700, but less so than the Harmony 900. It's $20 more expensive than the "only remote you may ever need" Harmony One, with which it shares an almost identical feature-set, but the Harmony Touch is much simpler and abandons most of its physical buttons for the versatility of a 2.4-inch colour touchscreen.
Logitech Harmony Touch: Design and construction
The Harmony Touch is a great-looking remote control. Like so many of Logitech's accessories, it's very well designed and built — and what stands out first is the palm-friendly base of the remote, which is contoured to fit your hand comfortably when you're holding it normally. It's a small touch, but it helps more than you'd think.
The face of the Harmony Touch is relatively clean — a grand total of 27 physical buttons are used for the remote, all of which have backlighting which turns on automatically when the remote is activated. These buttons are organised around the central 2.4-inch touchscreen, which also has some touch-sensitive buttons above.
The physical buttons cover most basic playback and navigation, although the placement of play/pause/stop and forward/back skip buttons above the touchscreen is an odd choice. If you're generally sitting down to play a movie and watch it the whole way through, this isn't a problem, but if you find yourself stopping or starting, or skipping through scenes, the placement stands out.
Interestingly, it's only possible to activate the remote by pressing a button or tapping the touchscreen. We would have liked to see an accelerometer built in, to wake the remote and turn on the touchscreen whenever there's significant movement.
There's a non-removable rechargeable battery built into the body of the Harmony Touch, the remote can be charged using the bundled charging cradle, which has a microUSB connector and runs off a wall-socket power plug. A microUSB cable is also included for connecting the Harmony Touch to your PC or Mac, but you can't combine the charging cradle and microUSB cable — the remote doesn't charge or connect if you've got it set up this way.
Logitech Harmony Touch: Setup and My Harmony
Button placement and battery charging aside, the stand-out in our experience with the Harmony Touch was setting it up through the Logitech MyHarmony website. MyHarmony is an online portal, although it does require a software install, that lets you configure your Harmony remote control through a Web interface, adjusting settings and then synchronising them to your remote control once you've made all the changes you want.
Our initial experiences setting up the Harmony Touch with MyHarmony were mixed. The setup procedure is very simple and organised through a series of steps asking you about your devices and your activities — we successfully set up a Pioneer PDP-LX509A, a Cambridge Audio Azur 351A amplifier, an Oppo BDP-103, and an Xbox 360, then set up activities for playing a game, watching TV, or watching a movie.
Favourites are also a big part of the Harmony Touch's appeal — they're shortcuts to take you straight to a digital TV channel. With a grid layout not unlike Apple's iOS, you're able to create and name channel shortcuts through MyHarmony, choose their order on the Harmony Touch, and assign a picture for each. Annoyingly, there's no online database of channel logos on MyHarmony, so you've got to jump on Google for each one — we'll soon put up an archive of the logos we used for Australia's free-to-air networks to save you a bit of time.
The activities are great, in theory — tap the touchscreen to turn on the TV, change its input, turn on the Blu-ray player, and jump directly to the disc menu, for example — but their basic implementation requires some work. We found that directly after setting up Harmony Touch afresh, operating the Watch A Movie activity after previously selecting Watch TV actually turned the TV off as part of the procedure.
We tracked this down to the remote sending a power toggle command rather than a power on command, expecting the television to be turned off by default. We also found that some buttons weren't mapped correctly to their corresponding physical counterparts — the Back command worked fine when controlling the Oppo Blu-ray player, but not the Pioneer TV, for example — and the whole process required sitting down with MyHarmony and checking and adjusting configurations and activities where necessary.
After a few more trips to the PC and back to the home theatre setup, we had everything drilled down appropriately, and activities and button presses worked exactly as we were hoping. When it's set up correctly, the Harmony Touch works exceptionally smoothly and reasonably seamlessly over a range of devices — it just takes some setting up to get to the point of being correct.
Once you've got it set up properly, using the Harmony Touch is simple, and it effectively replaces the remote controls of an entire home theatre setup. It works best when used alone, though — if you turn the television off with its own remote control temporarily (we do this sometimes to prevent image retention), selecting a new activity won't have the intended effect.
Logitech Harmony Touch: Conclusion
The Logitech Harmony Touch is a technically competent, physically impressive, theoretically simple universal remote control. For the average user it should offer a reasonably trouble-free and accurate setup process that acceptably replaces a handful of remote controls.
The touchscreen interface is a smart move, with the biggest advantage over traditional universal controls being a simple and organisable list of less-common commands. The favourites list of TV channels is also a time-saving convenience, especially if you're spending most of your time watching movies rather than TV.
We did encounter some issues during the setup that required some troubleshooting, but once this procedure was complete we were definitely happy with the experience we had with the Harmony Touch.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Are we leaving the arts out of journalism?
Like most journalists, I look to reports like the recently released Tow Center report on the changing nature of the field for guidance, for ways of thinking about what I do. But what I find is that what I do as a critic is increasingly marginalized or ignored by such studies.
In the thousands of words in the report from Tow, based at the Columbia School of Journalism and written by some of the finest minds in the field, there is a glaring void. There is no real consideration of cultural dialogue and criticism, perhaps the fastest shrinking segment of mainstream media today. Journalism worth doing is defined as investigative, watchdog journalism, the stories that somebody, somewhere doesn't want written. I would agree that this is the core of good journalism. »Read Full Blog Post(9)

MSO closes season with crowd-pleaser 'Bolero,' more
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra is closing its classical season this weekend with a performance of Ravel's "Bolero" that won a standing, cheering ovation Friday evening.
Guest conductor Gilbert Varga led the orchestra through a well-constructed program that also included: Mozart's "Overture to 'Le nozze di Figaro'" ("The Marriage of Figaro"); Tchaikovsky's Concerto in D major for violin and orchestra, featuring guest violinist Karen Gomyo; and Kodály's "Dances of Galánta." »Read Full Article
Soulstice cast hits the right notes with Sondheim's 'Follies'
Just after intermission in the production of Stephen Sondheim's "Follies" now being staged by Soulstice Theatre, Heidi Schiller — oldest among the pre-World War II showgirls attending a one-time reunion — begins to warble an operetta-like tune from her heyday.
Playing the older Heidi, Amanda Hull sings that we must never look back. But of course Heidi looks, remembering the ravishing young performer she'd once been, when she could hit every note in songs like this one. Which the suddenly materialized younger Heidi (a lovely Julianne Frey) then easily does, singing of the bittersweet passage of time — something a young Heidi can't possibly feel as acutely as her older self does. »Read Full Article

Mike Monroe of the San Antonio Express-News: Commissioner David Stern spoke with reporters before Wednesday's Lakers-Hornets game in New Orleans and fielded some questions about the $250,000 fine he handed the Spurs for resting Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Danny Green against the Heat a week ago. Stern defended his action and hinted that he might have intervened to prevent the benchings had the Spurs informed him of their intent before sending the players home from Orlando. "The beauty of that is I don't know," Stern said. "It depends. I said it's the totality of the circumstances. I would suggest to you if we had been notified it wouldn't have happened. So maybe from their perspective they did the right thing, but not from mine." Stern told reporters that coaches should have the authority to rest players at the end of the season, but not this early.
Marc Berman of the New York Post: Carmelo Anthony, his middle finger needing six stitches and wrapped in a thick bandage after the Knicks' thrilling 100-98 win over the Bobcats Wednesday night, wouldn't commit to facing the Heat Thursday night. But he certainly hopes his finger, which was numb when he spoke to reporters after the game, will allow him to face LeBron James. Anthony sliced his middle finger on a metal container diving for a loose ball with 2:10 left in the game after game-winning, buzzer-beating hero J.R. Smith had blocked a shot. "I want to play in Miami, but at the end of the day I have to do what's right for my finger,'' Anthony said. "We'll talk to the doctors. If I can't play, I'll see them two more times.'' Coach Mike Woodson said afterward he thought Anthony would probably give it a go. And Anthony is optimistic and even took a shot at Spurs coach Gregg Popovich for sending his star players home and not to Miami last week. "[The finger's] not off,'' Anthony said. "I'm going to see how it feels. It's numb right now. But I'm not going on Southwest. I'm going to Miami.''
Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News: As if on a mission to make up for all the Lakers missing parts, Kobe Bryant resorted to what's carried him all these years. He scored. Bryant's team-leading 29 points on 10-of-17 shooting in 34 minutes carried the Lakers to a 103-87 victory Wednesday over the Hornets in New Orleans Arena to snap a two-game losing streak and give the team its second road victory. Bryant's effort helped the Lakers forget for one game about the absences to Steve Nash (fractured left leg), Pau Gasol (tendinitis in both knees) and Steve Blake (surgery to treat a lower abdominal strain). Bryant's four dunks, baseline jumpers and floaters also cemented him further among the NBA's elite. He rests at 30,011 career points spanning a storied 17-year NBA career that includes five NBA championships, two Finals MVPs, one regular season MVP and four All-Star MVPs. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387), Karl Malone (36,928), Michael Jordan (32,292) and Wilt Chamberlain (31,419) have scored more baskets in NBA history. "That means he's old," D'Antoni said, drawing laughs. "Not many people can get that achievement. That's something that's earned."
Ethan J. Skolnick of the Palm Beach Post: But, as a fan of the Heat, you can feel free to go on a hunt of your own. See if you can spot a pulse. Thursday, that ought to be a slightly easier task. If Saturday's home game against New Orleans, another outmatched opponent missing its centerpiece players (Anthony Davis and Eric Gordon), represents an opportunity to better learn the Heat's threshold for embarrassment, Thursday's visit by the Knicks should give everyone a sense of the Heat's threshold for interest. If you don't care enough to give your very best against your franchise's traditional rival, which is off to its best start in eons, which hit 19 3-pointers in routing you by 20 in the first meeting this season, and which is trying to establish itself as a legitimate, rather than laughable, threat to your Eastern Conference supremacy – well, then, seriously, when will you? Against the Thunder on Christmas? Against the Lakers in January? Against some first-round opponent in April? Or is this destined to be a listless journey until May and June?
John Reid of The Times-Picayune: NBA Commissioner David Stern indicated before Wednesday night's game against the Lakers that the New Orleans Hornets' application to change their nickname likely will be expedited and he will support whatever change owner Tom Benson wants. Stern, who visited the Hornets offices at the Saints' complex and met with team corporate sponsors and team officials Wednesday, shed no light on the possibility the Hornets could be changed to the Pelicans. "Everyone seems to know about this but me,'' Stern said. "I'm sure whatever it is, I'm sure it will be good. If that's (Pelicans) what it is, that's fine, too.'' Based on recent Twitter activity, a high percentage of Hornets fans apparently are not in favor of Pelicans as the team's nickname. A large percentage have suggested such names as Krewe, Brass, Jesters and Revelers. Some tweeted that it should stay the Hornets.
K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune: Marco Belinelli, who played in New Orleans, and Cavs coach Byron Scott, who coached there, both chuckled when asked about the potential name change from Hornets to Pelicans. "That doesn't sound like the name of a team," Belinelli said.
Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe: While the Celtics continue to search for cohesion and production from their frontline players, Avery Bradley is getting closer to returning for coach Doc Rivers. Bradley has been working out before practices and rehabilitating his surgically repaired shoulders, and said before Wednesday's 104-94 win over the Timberwolves at TD Garden he is close to practicing with the team. Bradley has not played or participated in full-contact workouts since Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the 76ers. Bradley underwent surgery on both shoulders to repair a condition that caused them to pop out of their sockets. The Celtics have been cautious with his recovery. "I feel a lot better," Bradley said. "I'm just so excited that I'm getting more closer medically. I can't wait to see my teammates. Every single day I come in, I tell the trainers to have them test me out to see how strong I am."
Dan Woike of The Orange County Register: A week after making a surprise return to the starting lineup, Chauncey Billups is back on the bench. Billups is suffering from peroneal tendinitis in his left foot. The injury is not related to his Achilles' tendon, which he ruptured last February. Billups has played in three games this season and is averaging 7.3 points and 20 minutes a night. "It was something I really wanted to get checked out because I felt like I worked too hard to get back to play hurt," Billups said. "...I knew coming back, I would deal with a lot of other things in my body that were trying to catch back up to the speed of playing in real games. I think that this is part of the process." The Clippers and Coach Vinny Del Negro said there's no timetable for Billups' return, though the injury will probably keep him out for a couple of weeks.
Jody Genessy of the Deseret News: Mo Williams chuckled when asked about the NBA giving Chauncey Billups an official warning for the flop he performed in Monday night's game between the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers. "Guess it was bad call," Williams said. "We lost the game, so it don't help us." That summed up the general reaction the Jazz had Wednesday in response to the league's action. It wasn't exactly a consolation or vindication, and it didn't address the fact the Jazz still ended up losing to the Clippers 105-104 at ESA. "It's like Monday morning quarterbacking," Jazz guard Earl Watson said. "It's too late. It doesn't matter." … So far, though, Brooklyn's Reggie Evans and Gerald Wallace are the only NBA players who have tallied two flopping violations and a $5,000 fine this season. However, Billups became the seventh NBA player to be warned. The list of players with one flop warning includes Billups, Cleveland's Donald Sloan, Minnesota's JJ Barea, Oklahoma's Kevin Martin and Houston's Patrick Patterson. It might come to some NBA fans' surprise that the San Antonio Spurs, even Manu Ginobili, have not yet been warned for flopping.
Kent Youngblood of the Star Tribune: Kevin Love's right hand still doesn't feel right. On Wednesday, Love played his eighth game since returning from two broken bones in the hand. He led his team with 19 points and 13 rebounds. But it took him 15 shots to score those 19 points. And, on a night when the Wolves missed 16 of 30 free throws, Love went 6-for-12 from the line. After the game, Love said the healing hand is giving his shot all kinds of trouble. "A lot of this is me getting my legs back, getting in the weight room. But when I shoot, it feels like the ball is coming off the outside of my hand, rather than these two fingers like I like it," Love said, pointing to the index and middle fingers on his right hand. "It's something that will give eventually," he continued. "I still feel confident shooting it. I'll still shoot those shots. Eventually it will get there, it will just take time." In his eight games this season Love is shooting 36.1 percent from the field, 26.4 percent on three-pointers and 64.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki said in a courtside interview on ESPN's telecast of the Mavs game Wednesday night that he "got some shots up" Wednesday for the first time since undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Oct. 19. Nowitzki agreed that it was a good sign that he was making his first road trip with the Mavericks since the surgery, but said it would be "in a few weeks" or "a couple of weeks" before he foresaw a return to games. "It's kind of hard to say," he told ESPN's Lisa Salters, but when she noted a return by Christmas, he indicated possibly sooner. Next week, Nowitzki said he will try to push his court work with running and some cutting.
Ronald Tillery of The Commercial-Appeal: Damon Stoudamire is the only person in Memphis who knows Zach Randolph better than anyone outside the Grizzlies power forward's household. Before Stoudamire became a former Griz assistant now working under University of Memphis basketball coach Josh Pastner, he was Randolph's teammate with the Portland Trail Blazers. Stoudamire connected with a 19-year-old Randolph over a decade ago. And Stoudamire has pinpointed what's different about Randolph so far this season. It isn't just that Randolph's knee is healthy. "He's trying to be a leader," Stoudamire said. "It's amazing. Zach's never tried to be a leader, man. I'm not saying it in a bad way. He's just trying to do some things bestowed upon him. Guys took him under their wing as a youngster and he's doing that now. He's done a great job of leading. You can tell. And he needed to be the voice on that team."
Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press: The praise keeps rolling in for Pistons rookie center Andre Drummond -- adding fuel to fans' desire to see him more. ESPN.com NBA analyst Chad Ford was asked about Drummond during an online chat, and his praise was strong. He wrote: "He has physical tools that very few NBA players have. For his size, he moves as well laterally as any big I've ever seen. The question, coming into the draft, was about his motor, his passion for the game and his poor production as a freshman at UConn. He's exceeded everyone's expectations in his rookie year. If he keeps up this learning curve, the Pistons will have one of the best frontcourts in the NBA in a couple of years." So with that kind of analysis, it's understandable that the fan base wants to see more of Drummond. Drummond is patient.
Jason Jones of The Sacramento Bee: For one night, the grand plan was on display. That plan has Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins performing like big-time players in the same game to lead the Kings to victories. It happened Wednesday, when the Kings ended a three-game losing streak by beating the Toronto Raptors 107-100 at Sleep Train Arena. After drafting Evans in 2009 and Cousins in 2010, the Kings are banking on the two developing into cornerstones for the franchise. But as the Kings stumbled to a 4-12 start, both players struggled at various points. Evans was playing better before he was sidelined for two games because of a bruised left knee, while Cousins has been in a shooting slump most of the season. … "We're the best two players on this team along with Marcus (Thornton)," Cousins said. "When we're having good games, we're a tough team to beat."
Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun: With Andrea Bargnani trade speculation at an all-time high, there's another guy flying under the radar when he shouldn't be. … When Bargnani is sat down it's normally Ed Davis who comes in behind him. And while Davis will never be the scorer that Bargnani is, his overall efficiency this season has come as somewhat of a surprise. Davis came into the year having completely overhauled the mechanics to his shot and that has resulted in a much better success rate with the ball in his hands. But that's only a small part of it. Ask any of the stats gurus out there to pick one stat that gives a good day-to-day indication of how much a player is helping his team and he'll send you to PER or player efficiency rating. It's a formula that gives you an overall rating of a player's per-minute statistical production. For the Raptors the far and away most efficient player on the roster has been Kyle Lowry, who sits 17th overall in the NBA with a PER of 22.37. Davis, with a PER of 19.71, sits second among Raptors and 44th overall in the NBA, just ahead of Blake Griffin and just behind Indiana's David West. Davis had no idea where he sat in relation to the rest of his teammates, but he is well aware that his game has taken a major step up from last season.
Charles F. Gardner of the Journal Sentinel: Bucks forward Larry Sanders had 22 blocks in the previous three games. And it appeared he had rejected Nando De Colo on the opening possession of the fourth quarter, with the score tied at 76. But referee Scott Wall ruled goaltending, causing an outcry from the Bucks and drawing a technical foul on coach Scott Skiles. Sanders wound up with just one blocked shot in the Bucks' 110-99 loss to San Antonio at the AT&T Center.
John N. Mitchell of The Philadelphia Inquirer: Last season, according to the website hoopsstats.com, the Sixers had the fourth-most-productive bench in the NBA. With Lou Williams leading the way, the bench averaged a healthy 38.8 points per game. Including Thaddeus Young and Evan Turner, the subs helped the Sixers win many games when the starters struggled. But Williams is no longer a Sixer, and Young and Turner are starting instead of subbing. Additionally, the Sixers have nine new faces on the roster, and the only one who starts is shooting guard Jason Richardson. Hoopsstats.com ranks the Sixers' bench, averaging 27.9 points, 24th overall. "Last year when we went to the bench we could come in with Lou, Evan, and Lavoy [Allen] and score 40 to 50 points off our bench and win games," coach Doug Collins said after practice Wednesday.
Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel: Orlando entered its game Wednesday night against Utah ranked 13th in the NBA in field-goal percentage defense, limiting opponents to 44.3 percent shooting. Not great. But better than most teams, even a smidge better than the defending league champion Miami Heat. "We play extremely hard at times in the game," point guard Jameer Nelson said. "Even when we're not in our spots, when you play hard, it kind of makes up for the mistakes." The Magic enter each game with basic goals defensively. They want to sprint back on defense to prevent easy transition baskets. They want to protect the paint. And they want to force opponents to take contested shots, preferably high-quadrant 3s and long 2s. What's surprising is how effectively the team has carried out its goals given the obstacles it's faced.
Bob Young of The Arizona Republic: The Suns are confident that you're going to like their team, even if you don't like its record right now. And they're confident that, no matter what the outcome is Thursday night when the Suns play host to the Dallas Mavericks, you will leave US Airways Center satisfied. It's guaranteed, or your money back. And evidently, a lot of you are willing to give them the chance. Suns President Jason Rowley said that only about 1,000 tickets remained for Thursday night's game as of Wednesday morning. The team could even sell out the 18,422-seat arena for the first time this season. The Suns have averaged about 3,000 fans fewer than that this season at home. "We're trending well. I think we might sell out," Rowley said. In fact, the response has been so good that Rowley isn't ruling out doing it in future. "It's something that hasn't been done before," Rowley said. "It's out of the box."

Oct. 7, 2013
FORT COLLINS, Colo. -The Colorado State Rams open the 2013-14 swimming & diving season with one of the youngest teams ever to jump in the water. Fifteen newcomers will put on the Green and Gold for the first time, matching evenly in numbers with seven sophomores, five juniors and three seniors.
"I think it's a testament to how hard we worked, as well as how fortunate we were that we were able to land that many very qualified and talented freshmen," Head Coach Christopher Woodard said. "That being said, I think we're looking more at a four-year process with them. I think we addressed many of the weaknesses in our events, but primarily we are looking at diamonds in the rough, and I think we do have some future diamonds."
Although the pool is filled with many young faces, CSU returns intimidating strength on the boards. From the 2012-13 season opener, it was clear diving was going to be a highlight of the team. Stepping on competitive collegiate boards for her first time, Ariana Milone won both the 1- and 3-meter diving events, breaking a pool record and landing herself as the second-highest scorer in CSU history on 3-meter boards. For this performance Milone was named the Mountain West Diver of the Week.
Though the diving team had to overcome several serious injuries throughout the season, they made an impressive stand at the MW Championships with every CSU diver scoring in the finals. Milone had the highest finish of the diving squad with sixth and 10th place on 3- and 1-meter boards respectively. CSU continued its success and brought its largest NCAA Diving Zones team since 2005, taking three divers: Paige Greely, Milone and Maxelise Thorn.
"We should almost be called `CSU Diving & Swimming.' Our diving team is phenomenal," Woodard said. "Obviously Ariana is at the top of that list right now, but across the board all of them scored at conference. Now we have three newcomers, so we're very excited to see what they can do."
The Rams will look to their upperclassmen to lead the new faces on how CSU approaches its dual meets and the proper principals of training. Fortunately, CSU returns several talented athletes, namely seniors Yana Garvey and Madeline Mastrup, junior Tess Simpson and sophomore Jessica Shepard. All four rank among the fastest athletes in CSU history in their respective events.
"We have very capable scorers in Yana and Maddie," Woodard said. "We'll rely on them pretty heavily in dual meets and when it comes time for conference. Tess and Jessica are also a great tandem; they allow us to do a lot of different things. They both know what it takes to reach the finals at conference, and they fill some very important roles for us in dual meets."
This season the coaching staff -- featuring Woodard, head diving coach Kevin Witt, and newly hired assistant coach and former CSU swimmer MacKenzie Brown -- will refocus their efforts to polishing process rather than just the win-loss record. However, the team is still determined to continue to improve and make a mark at the Mountain West Championships.
"Our expectation as a staff is to continue to move up the ladder in the Mountain West, and try to finish at .500 or above in our dual meets," Woodard said. "But I'm going to get away from that this year and focus more on process than wins and losses. We have to learn how to do things the right way, the right time, if we want to have success in the future."
The Rams open their season with the two-day Colorado Mesa Intermountain Shootout, beginning Friday at 6:30 p.m. MT in Grand Junction, Colo. CSU will then host its home opener against Denver on Saturday, Oct. 19 at noon in Moby Pool. CSU also hosts Northern Arizona, New Mexico and Air Force, and will conclude its season at the MW Championships (Feb. 19-22) in San Antonio, Texas.

Canada-based Walker Emulsions, a producer of asphalt emulsions and industrial emulsions for the building products industries, is opening a facility in Orangeburg County.
The $4.65 million investment is expected to create approximately 11 jobs, the state Commerce Department reported Wednesday.
Walker Emulsions of Ontario will acquire the 53,000-square-foot Engineered Polymer Solutions (Valspar) Building in Orangeburg County. The company expects to begin operations late this summer.
The company, the fourth Canadian firm to build a facility in Orangeburg County, is a subsidiary of the Walker Industries Group, a family-owned, private business and parent company to Walker Emulsions Inc., Walker Aggregate Inc. and Walker Environmental Group Inc. The investment is the company's first in the southeastern U.S.
"We're very excited to be opening a new facility in Orangeburg County," said Archie Reynolds, executive vice president of Walker Emulsions. "Our choice to locate here was in large part due to the tremendous support and assistance we received from the Orangeburg County Economic Development Commission and South Carolina Department of Commerce. They welcomed us with open arms."

More than half the candidates disqualified from Cameroon presidential election
September 16, 2011
Cameroon is quickly approaching election day (October 9), and until recently there were 51 candidates for the presidency. More than half of the hopeful politicians were disqualified by election authorities, leaving 21 candidates left in the race. This move has prompted many of the rejected candidates and their supporters to protest, according to Voice of America.
The Supreme Court is reviewing the cases of the presidential candidates after their applications were thrown out on the premise that they contained flaws, such as missing legal signatures and unpaid deposits. Anicet Ekane, a candidate who stood opposing incumbent President Paul Biya, and his followers staged a protest when he was removed from the electoral race. The news source reports that he was eliminated from the race due to an issue with a tax-declaration certificate, but that Ekane was allowed to run in the 2004 and 2007 presidential and legislative elections without issue.
The leader of Cameroon for the past 29 years, Biya is favored to win in the election, according to AllAfrica.com. In 2008, he made changes to the nation's constitution that eradicated term limits so he could remain in office longer.
People can use international phone cards to make calls to Cameroon to discuss the upcoming election with their family and friends.

Opawa St Martins Plunket Toy Library
Update April 2016!!
It is with much anticipation, and not a small amount of relief that Opawa St Martins Plunket Toy Library is returning to our home in April 2016! Repairs kicked off at our Sandwich Road Home in late November and we have been tracking progress over the summer holidays. The building needed new steel for strengthening, replacement of rotten beams and bearers, and then of course new gib, plaster and paint. 5 moves over 5 1/2 years has had a noticeable impact as weve seen membership reduce from 400 to 150. While this upheaval has certainly had some cost, it has not been without reward; OSMPTL is incredibly grateful to our members, who have committed to continuing to use the service despite the changes, to the core of dedicated committee who have kept the library running, to the YMCA, who have been incredibly considerate landlords, and to the Spreydon-Heathcote Community Board who have supported & championed our endeavours to return home. If youre already a member, we are thrilled to have you with us as we return to our home. If youre new to the concept of a toy library OSMPTL offers an amazing range of toys for children aged 0 10 years and we would love to have you join our community. The end IS in sight! Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates and a re-opening date, currently targeted at Saturday 16th April 2016.
Some Toys to move!!
The Shelves are moved already.
|7.00pm 8.30pm
|9.30am 11.30am
|9.30am 2.00pm
Closed all public holidays that fall on our opening days
We also now have a Facebook page which you can Like and see updates as they are posted. Also we will be updating our website as regularly as possible.

|Sigourney Weaver stars as an autistic woman living in rural Ontario in "Snow Cake ." (neil davidson)
Cold and alone in the world, two souls meet
Beware of movie stars portraying the afflicted. On the other hand, treasure any movie that hands Alan Rickman a leading role.
The small Canadian drama "Snow Cake " prompts many emotions, not least of which is gratitude for temporarily freeing this great, undersung actor from the bondage of Severus Snape . Most of the mixed feelings, though, arise from Sigourney Weaver in the role of Linda Freeman , an autistic woman living in rural Ontario. The performance is brave, difficult, inventive, meticulously researched, fully felt. And you never forget you're watching someone pretend.
Is this because of our own discomfort? Because Weaver's too big a star to sink out of sight? Or is it because the movie, written by Angela Pell and directed by Marc Evans , is too small to rise up and meet Linda more than halfway? "Snow Cake" isn't "Rain Woman," exactly, but still there's the sense of packaging a prickly, mysterious subject into convenient dramatic shape.
Against that is the pleasure of watching Rickman play Alex Hughes , a wreck of an Englishman crossing Canada in a rental car. He's fleeing his past -- it involves jail time and distant violence -- and almost against his will picks up a young hitchhiker named Vivienne (Emily Hampshire ). Rather, she picks him out of a diner full of travelers because he looks like "a man who needs to talk." That he does, even if it takes him the entire movie to do so.
Vivienne's a kook and a chatterbox, but Hampshire makes the character strangely endearing to Alex and to us, so it's with regrets that she disappears suddenly from the movie and he feels compelled to visit her mother. This is Linda, a restless woman-child who can't make eye contact but does her best to be social. "I'm supposed to offer you something, would you like some herbal tea, I have 18 different varieties," she blurts in an unsteady drone.
Another character describes her as "high functioning, can talk a glass eye to sleep, but can't tie her shoelace." Linda eats snow (thus the title), owns a backyard trampoline. Intensely germophobic, she won't let anyone into her kitchen, although she prevails on Alex to stay until trash-collection day because she "doesn't do garbage." Conveniently, this gives him time to attract the attention of others in her small town, particularly Maggie (Carrie-Anne Moss ), the attractive and accommodating lady next door.
Well, the man needs healin', but it's to Rickman's credit that Alex's psychic scars seem too deep to be cured by a few rolls in the futon, even if it's with the babe from "The Matrix ." The almost tactile sadness this actor has carried with him from 1991's "Truly Madly Deeply" all the way to Harry Potter is refined here to a thing of ruinous purity -- an entire belief system based on disenchantment. "Snow Cake" is conventional in its slow arc toward personal betterment, but one look into Rickman's tormented eyes tells us some things can't be fixed.
Weaver's Linda is another matter. The actress doesn't use her eyes but rather her flailing arms and the forward thrust of her chest to convey this woman who understands just enough to know she stands forever outside human society. "Snow Cake" is about grief and its processing, both of which Linda may be immune to, yet the filmmakers aren't sure whether that's a tragedy or a state of grace. (Either, presumably, would be immaterial to an autistic.)
The actress just plays the part as honestly as she can, even when the script gives her a lovely but fraudulent Big Speech about her favorite made-up Scrabble word, "dazlious." "Snow Cake" is dazlious, too: overly forced, a shade too whimsical, but filling a void other words and other movies haven't the nerve or errant taste to confront.

Transport in Port Phillip
Melbourne Bike Share Blue Bikes
How does it work?
To use the Melbourne Bike Share bikes, you buy a subscription for a day or a week at a bike share docking station. Annual subscriptions can be bought online.
Bike share is a cheap and fast way to cover short distances (and avoid parking hassles).
When you want to use a bike, you insert your subscription key (or swipe your credit card for a daily or weekly subscription) to unlock the bike from the dock. When you have finished with the bike, you can return it to any one of the docking stations around the inner city.
Bike sharing is where a number of bikes are made available for shared use amongst individuals who do not own any of the bikes.
Melbourne Bike Share is part of the Department of Transport's focus on delivering transport improvements to Victoria. Bike sharing is a more sustainable, healthy, and community-based transport option.
Where are the bike docking stations?
Bike Share stations are located around the inner city and have a growing number of docking stations in the City of Port Phillip in:
- South Melbourne & Port Melbourne
- Albert Park & Gasworks Park
- along the foreshore
- along St Kilda Road
For a full list of the locations available in Port Phillip and across inner Melbourne visit Melbourne Bike Share.
Do I need a helmet?
Most Blue Bikes come with a helmet. Just to be sure, it is best to bring your own or purchase one for $5 from 7-Eleven stores. Riding without a helmet is illegal in Australia.
Why does the Council support bike share?
Council is keen to support bike riding and bike share as part of its vision to create a connected and liveable City, where residents, workers and visitors can get around without needing a car.

Six Flags GoPro Policy
Where is the official park policy concerning secure recording on rides at Six Flags.
John Hout
Posted December 28, 2013 at 11:30 AM
I have an important question concerning camera use in parks. I am familiar with Disney's policy, and they do a great job informing you what you are allowed to record; however, other parks are not. I currently have a GoPro camera with a chest mount with redundant safety tethers, and i cannot get information from Six Flags parks. Their website says no loose articles, and that is extremely important on thrill rides. It is very important to not allow guests to record or take pictures on a roller coaster due to the risk of injury and delay of a ride. Nevertheless, there is no information concerning secured items. Also, any attempts to contact park management by email or phone has been futile. I do not want to violate any park rule, but I would love to document my family on rides in a safe manner. Previous attempts to talk to park employees have always been met with a "I don't know, you have to ask a manager," and one cannot be found. Does anybody have any guidance on this matter?

Posted December 28, 2013 at 9:34 PM
As far as I know, they will not allow it on the ride. This is based on what was told to me at Great America, but each park might have its own rules.
I wish it was better news, but they really don't like it.

Erie's Collegiate Academy USAD team Hawaii-bound
Coach Brian Sheldon was driving when he got the message.
He pulled over. And then he started screaming happy screams.
On Wednesday, Sheldon surprised his United States Academic Decathlon team with the news: "Pack your bags!"
Northwest Pennsylvania Collegiate Academy's USAD team will be one of two schools representing the state in this year's national United States Academic Decathlon competition in Honolulu, Hawaii, from April 24 to 26.
The team learned Wednesday that it earned a wild card slot to compete after placing second in the state competition, behind champion North Penn High School.
Michelle Schroeder, director of the state competition, placed leis around the students' necks as they hugged one another.
"This is awesome," said Rebbekkah Magoon, a 19-year-old Collegiate Academy senior. "I'm living the dream. I'm actually going to get to see green grass. ... And I feel good that all of our hard work has paid off."
Several of the students immediately began texting family members and friends.
"I almost hit the ceiling" after hearing the news, junior Luke Scypinski, 17, said. "I couldn't believe we were really going. Getting to hear that is so exciting."
Each state is allotted one champion that automatically advances to the national competition. State directors had to apply to USAD to request an additional "wild card" team, based on scores.
State directors could also request up to three teams participate in the national online competition, one each in the small, medium and large divisions. The online competition will take place on the same date and at the same time as the actual competition taking place in Hawaii.
McDowell High School and Erie Catholic Preparatory School, a team that includes students from Villa Maria Academy and Cathedral Preparatory School, will compete in the large and medium online divisions, respectively.
Over the course of two days, students will face off in 10 subjects: art, economics, language and literature, math, music, science, speech, written essay, interview and "Super Quiz," a game-show-style competition in which students answer a variety of questions for points. The theme of this year's competition is World War I.
"We're on the national stage where we haven't been for a few years," Sheldon said. "Now the rest of the country gets to see what we have to offer."
Senior Samantha Galla, 17, said she was relieved after the uncertainty of waiting to hear whether Collegiate would be awarded a wild card slot.
"It's my dream," Galla said and laughed. "There are going to be all sorts of ASL nerds like me hanging out on the beach in Hawaii talking about World War I and genetics."
She said she most looks forward to the Speech Showcase, an event honoring top speeches, not their tropical destination.
"I'm here to compete," Galla said, all business now. "I'm not going to Hawaii. I'm going to nationals."

Excellent experience. Very friendly horseman.
June 2016
Wonderful! Very romantic and our guide was excellent!
June 2016
This tour is exactly what we thought it was: a horse drawn carriage through the street of Paris. If you have an hour or so, and the clip-clop of the horse's hooves echoing through the streets of Paris appeal to you, then do it. Everyone-from the homeless to the tourists to the local business people turned and smiled. It was definitely enjoyable.

It was everything and more than we expected. Philippe was wonderful and very accommodating. Will do it again for sure!!!
November 2015

November 2015
This was amazing, did this as part of my engagement plans and my Mrs was over the moon.
We got picked up outside the Eiffel Tower and as soon as the horse and cart appeared everyone was looking and coming over to ask questions. Our guide was amazing all the way through and really made the experience, he even stopped off at locations and took pictures of us.
The ride was an hour around Paris seeing all of the great locations, people every where looked and had there phones out. We sat there enjoying the sites with some champagne, if you want to impress the other half. You can not fail with this! Such a unique and great experience to share and so many great views to see and take in.
An amazing weekend away and this takes some beating!!!!
Thank you for making our trip so special! :
