The Past, Present and Future of GIS: PostGIS 2.0 Is Here!
Data Analysis
Knowing that your features are safely stored in a database is nice, but you may want to use them for purposes other than later retrieval. PostGIS functions let you interact with spatial objects and explore their relationships.
Functions known as constructors build geometry from definitions in
several formats. They are sort of like translators. You used it before with
WKT, and
ST_GeomFromKML and
ST_GeomFromGeoJSON enable translations from
other popular formats. Output functions enable the inverse translation
as in
ST_IsValid and
ST_GeometryType check fundamental properties of
geometry. You can interact with geometry with
ST_NumPoint to retrieve the
total number of vertexes and
ST_PointN to get the
nth vertex;
removes the vertex at the position you pass to the function. Function names
often are self-explanatory, as with
ST_Scale and
ST_Distance measures the minimum distance between two geometry objects. As
others, this function is overloaded, the exact definition is:
float ST_Distance(geometry g1, geometry g2);
float ST_Distance(geography gg1, geography gg2);
float ST_Distance(geography gg1, geography gg2, boolean use_spheroid);
The returned distance is measured along a Cartesian plane for geometry, and along a spheroid/sphere for the geography type. If you are querying objects relatively nearby, the question of how to use them may seem futile, but think about measuring the distance from San Francisco to Denver:
SELECT to_char(round(ST_Distance(
ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-122.440 37.802)',4326)::geography,
St_GeomFromText('POINT(-104.987 39.757)',4326)::geography
About 1,530 km is quite a long way to go, and going straight from San
to Denver may be a real challenge, so there's room for extra mileage. But if
you try to measure the same distance on a printed map, you may find a
different result. As you learned in primary school, the Earth's shape is almost
a sphere. When a map represents a wide portion of the planet on the surface
of a plane (yes, curved monitors are yet to come), it has to distort the real
shape and distance. By passing two geography objects to
ST_Distance, you are
asking it to perform a distance calculus over the sphere's surface. Let's
use geometry, and it will use a Cartesian plane for the calculus:
SELECT to_char(round(ST_Distance(
ST_Transform(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-122.440 37.802)',4326),3857),
ST_Transform(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-104.987 39.757)',4326),3857)
To get the result in meters, comparable to the previous one, you need
to add the
ST_Transform function to change on the fly the SRS to the Web
Mercator used by most Web mapping systems:
More than 1,900km! Hey, Mr Mercator, where are you taking me?
Loading Data
You've learned how you can process spatial data in many ways inside PostGIS, but how do you get the data into the database? If you are familiar with PostgreSQL, you know it is shipped with psql, a command-line tool, or you probably have been using pgAdmin III if you prefer to interact with a GUI. Both are not specialized at dealing with spatial data, but you can execute SQL code that performs data loading.
If you search on the Internet, you quickly will realize that a lot of data is available in shapefiles, a binary proprietary format that is the de facto standard in spatial data exchange. Are you wondering how you can transform the binary format in an SQL script? Don't worry; since its early releases, PostGIS has included some tools that read shapefiles and load them in the database.
shp2pgsql and pgsql2shp are command-line tools that make your data go in and out. Not surprisingly, shp2pgsql loads the data. In fact, shapefiles are not really loaded by shp2pgsql but are translated in a form that psql can keep and load for you. So, you just have to pipe the output to psql:
$ shp2pgsql -s 4269 -g geom -I ~/data/counties.shp
↪public.counties | psql -h localhost -p 5432 -d
↪postgisDB -U gisuser
The basic set of parameters required are
-s to set the spatial reference
-g to name the geometric column (useful when
appending data) and
-I to create a spatial index. There are quite a few
other parameters that make it a flexible tool. As usual,
-? is your
friend if you need to execute less-trivial data loading. Apart from
creating a new table, the default option, you may append data to an existing
table, drop it and re-create or just create an empty table modeling its
structure according to the shapefile data.
pgsql2shp lets you drop your data
in a shapefile:
$ pgsql2shp -f ~/data/rivers -h localhost -p 5432 -u
↪postgres postgisDB0 public.rivers
The source of the data can be a table or a view, but you also can filter data at extraction time to export only a portion of a table:
$ pgsql2shp -f ~/data/california_counties -h localhost -p
↪5432 -u postgres postgisDB "SELECT * FROM
↪public.counties WHERE statefp = '06'"
As declared in its name, shp2pgsql-gui is a graphical version of shp2pgsql. Release 2.0 introduced some interesting features. Despite the name, you now can use it both for loading shapefiles and for exporting them, and although earlier versions processed one shapefile at a time, now you can add as many files as you need to load and then run it once.
Figure 1. Shapefile Loader GUI
Raster Data
Storing and processing raster data in PostGIS is analogous to vector data. Aerial imagery and satellite scenes, like those visible in Google maps, are common examples, but other types may be way more useful inside PostGIS. Indeed, the real value to having raster data inside PostGIS is the possibility to perform analysis. You also can mix raster and vector data in your analysis. The digital elevation model, a raster where an elevation value is associated to each pixel, is commonly used to perform terrain analysis by geologists. A raster data type has been added to support this kind of data. You can create a table for raster storage in the same way that you did for a vector:
CREATE TABLE myraster(rid integer, rast raster);
A raster is tiled in regular tiles, and each block is loaded as a record in the table. For example, if you have an imagery.tif file whose size is 4096x3072 pixels, and you choose a tile size of 256x256 pixels, after loading it, you will have a table with 192 records.
Loading raster data from the SQL prompt is not easy. As with vectors, a command-line utility exists, raster2pgsql:
$ raster2pgsql -s 4326 -t 256x256 -I -C
↪/home/postgis/data/imagery.tif imagery |
↪psql -d postgisDB -h localhost -p 5432 -U gisuser
Parameters are very similar except you use
-t to set
tile sizes, and
sets the standard set of constraints on the raster.
This article is merely a brief exploration of what PostGIS can do. Consider that there are about 700 specialized functions for dealing with spatial data. I hope you found it interesting and want to give it a try. Among experts, PostGIS always has been considered to be a hard horse to ride. I think it requires a little humility and a willingness to read the manual. Once you start using it, however, you soon will find yourself asking why people are spending big bucks for commercial spatial databases.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Skip to comments.Britney baby buggy blunder - again!
Posted on 05/16/2006 9:04:54 AM PDT by COUNTrecount
LOS ANGELES - Oops ... the child-care-challenged Britney Spears has done it again. First Mommy Spears-est got nailed for driving with her baby son in her lap like a toy poodle. Now she could be busted for improperly installing a child safety seat in her car, state officials say.
The pregnant pop princess was spotted tooling around in her convertible Mini Cooper with 8-month-old Sean Preston slumped over in a forward-facing car seat. Federal regulations say kiddie seats should face backward until a child is a year old.
"It's far safer if the seat is facing backwards to avoid head-on injuries and whiplash in case of a collision," said California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall.
Spears, 24, "could be" cited for violating Section 27360 of the California Vehicle Code, which says child safety seats must be installed to comply with the federal standard.
"We would have to witness the violation. We can't issue a citation from a photograph," Marshall said.
"It's a bit of a gray area," he added, because state code doesn't specify the backward installation - a federal regulation does.
Spears' rep did not return calls for comment yesterday.
"We strongly urge anyone who is uncertain of how to install a car seat to come down to one of our headquarters and get help. We offer that service free of charge," said Marshall.
How about highchairs?
Spears, who recently confirmed she's expecting a second child, and hubby Kevin Federline rushed Sean to the hospital last month for a bumped noggin after he fell from a highchair that reportedly "snapped" and broke while a nanny was lifting him out. Child welfare officials investigated but cleared the couple of any wrongdoing.
In February, Spears got a visit and a warning from the cops after she was photographed driving illegally with her son in her lap. She admitted she "made a mistake" but blamed paparazzi for hounding her.
"Federal regulations say kiddie seats should face backward until a child is a year old."
1 year OR 20 lbs. If the baby weighs 21 pounds, he can face that way. An 8 month old probably doesn't weigh that much though, (although my first weighed over 20 at ~ 10 months).
The rear seat in a convertible is very windy. Who in their right mind would expose a baby to that? And you know she didn't put sunscreen on the baby.
That makes 2 of us.
What kind of carseat is that, that he is slumped over sleeping like that
It looks like a carseat for a 3-5 yr. old
The car seat in the picture is installed properly, but it's too big for the baby.
Stupid is as stupid does..........
I don't know. Ours was 9 pounds coming out, 13 at two months. She's going for her four-month checkup tomorrow and I expect she's 16-17 pounds. She'll probably break 20 before 8 months, and then it's time for a new car seat. She's a big healthy happy (mostly!) girl.
Tell me about it. I used to ride the armrest in the front seat. I would crack up laughing when I got flung in to the backseat at a hard stop.
It's legal to kill 'em but don't you dare have them facing forward in their car seats!!
So very true.
When I was a tiny young stud (3, 4) I sometimes travelled laying across the front benchseat with my head in mommy's lap.
A little older, I rode with my back against the passenger door, facing my mother. Til the door gave one day and I landed in the road on my back. Not long after I took the dashboard taste test in a little fender bender.
Through it all seat belt use was unknown.
Yeah, mine is 8 months in 2 more weeks- judging by how my arms feel at the end of the day, he broke 20lbs since his last check-up.
But damn they don't give those seats away.
Ms. Spears certainly doesn't sound like Mother-of-the-Year material, but I'm more outraged by all this nanny-state intrusion than by anything Britney's done.
LOL...yep, same here, I rememeber a few trips in the back of the pick-up too as a kid. I suppose I should be long dead by now
Yes, you are correct. Bugs must be bouncing off the kids head too.......not to mention stuff getting in the kids eyes.....
Or, of course, sleeping in the back of the station wagon.
When I was 3, I was in a terrible car accident and flew through the front windshield, because I was not strapped in and was sitting on a lady's lap in the front seat (no seat belt for her either).
I almost was killed, but luckily a nurse was the first on the scene and started picking all the glass out of my face and giving me care. I can still remember them cutting my favorite turtle neck shirt off because of the glass on my face and I remember screaming for my mommy and daddy.
But still, if there's protection for your children, there's a reason for it and a good parent would us it, as directed.
Brittany is not a very good parent, imo.
Hey, Me too!
You can take the girl out of the trailer park...
I fell out of an AMC Hornet ca 1978. Pure dumb luck that we weren't going fast. A little lumpy and a little road rash, but nothing serious.
Djoo get hurt?
These morons should hire a "personal child safety consultant" to review whatever safety steps they are taking before they go out in public.
I expect Vlad to hit 20 lbs. before 6 months, but we'll keep him in the original car seat until his head hangs over the top, or he can sit up independently. The rear-facing vs. forward issue is really about how well they can sit up, which varies from one child to another.
c1955 leaning against the door of one of these when the vehicle just wasn't there anymore. About 30-40 mph, fortunately country road, soft sand beside, hit and rolled. Couldn't have done it better if I'd been through paratroop school.
I was thinking the same thing. It looks like the car seat straps are up to high, but that is nothing compared to all that wind and debris blowing around in his face. I knew she was blonde for a reason!
When I was little we would ride sometimes up on the back of the seat just under the rear window. I know, really dumb but at night time it was fun to ride there and look up at the stars. :)
My little brother did this! He (at 3yo) was leaning against the door handle when my mom went around a corner. Luckily my sister was in the back seat and saw him go out!
Meanwhile, Britney needs some parenting classes.
Sorry -- it's one year and 20 lbs, according to American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations:
Children should face the rear of the vehicle until they are at least 1 year of age and weigh at least 20 lb to decrease the risk of cervical spine injury in the event of a crash. Infants who weigh 20 lb before 1 year of age should ride rear facing in a convertible seat or infant seat approved for higher weights until at least 1 year of age. If a car safety seat accommodates children rear facing to higher weights, for optimal protection, the child should remain rear facing until reaching the maximum weight for the car safety seat, as long as the top of the head is below the top of the seat back.I just read here that Britney's record company is now claiming she did nothing wrong because her eight-month-old son is over 20 lbs. But he's not over a year old yet.
My youngest is 4½ months old, and was a hair under 19 lbs at his four-month check up. He'll be 20 lbs. any day now. I'm not going to switch him to a forward-facing because he's over 20 lbs. Rather, I'll get a convertible seat like the one his two-year-old sister rides in, but keep it rear-facing until he's at least a year old.
It's not a question of complying with the law or too many federal regulations for me. It's a question of keeping my kids as safe as possible.
Hmmm, I was told at the hospital it was either/or. I wonder if the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations are more conservative than the federal regulation that is what Britney's record company is claiming compliance with?
No argument here on keeping your kid safe, though. I've got another one popping out in a month. The way people drive around here, it's probably best to limit their car experiences as much as possible.
Somebody give this poor clueless girl some parenting lessons before it's too late!
I wonder if she is doing everything, feeding, changing, etc or just the "fun" things with her child.
I had a few night time car trips like that. I have a few pics my parents tok of me sleeping behind the rear passener seat of our 66 VW Beetle on one of our summer road trips. We're brininging back some childhood memories here!
In our state I believe it is 1 year old AND 20 lbs.
Probably the same here. We keep the babies in the original seat-carrier as long as possible, because when the youngest needs a bigger seat, everybody else has to "move up," too, and we have to reconfigure the whole van, which is a real pain.

Thanks to everyone who made our year just closed successful and full of promise for the upcoming 12 months. We'll miss our outgoing Board members, Liesl Morell and Peg Collins – but we hope to see them often at our meetings and events. Our new Board members are Sally Anderson of SOM, and Derek Payne of Kingspan. We look forward to their new ideas and participation in our efforts this year.
Our July meeting brought together over 100 participants from the San Francisco and Santa Clara Valley Chapters, and from DBIA. Partnering with the Design Build Institute of America brought attendees from design, engineering and construction companies, so there were many new faces. The presentation was thought provoking: a case study of the new control tower at the San Francisco international Airport, and a discussion of a progressive approach to design/build delivery that brings owner, end users, designers, and contractors together to develop the project concept and budget collaboratively from the start. The speakers represented a range of perspectives, and the audience was full of questions.
Many thanks to the Chapter for your ongoing support and all the input and energy you've contributed this year. As incoming Chapter President, I hope for a year of positive transitions and improved communications. Our June Awards Banquet was a wonderful event. Special thanks go to Paulette Salisbury for organizing a beautiful venue and an excellent meal at Sens. Linda Stansen did a great job of preparing the awards and helping John Sellen to present them in his inimitable fashion. I'd like to add my personal thanks to all of you who helped out throughout the year on many projects, large and small.

Lodi native Ronna Roberts has been involved in dance and ballet for most of her life. She was an active child who found a creative outlet as a fine artist and even in things like sailing, diving, music and swimming. By pushing herself in dance, she learned what she is capable of, including pushing herself to dance after doctors said she might not ever walk after a bad car accident.
Now, Roberts helps run IBTI (International Ballet Theater Institute) Arch Studio for Integrated Arts in Downtown Lodi. The upstairs studio has two parts: IBTI and Studio A. Both have professional dance floors for practice and performances.

How often do you work out? For 20 years I've been going three to five times a week. When I was 20 I realized I wanted to have the same youthful appeal when I'm 40.
Any supplements? Protein shakes, creatine, amino acids, lots of stuff.
Any eccentric health or beauty secrets? Rest. It's essential. Lots of other things. The art of the workout is the art of change. That's my philosophy.
Has working out helped you get dates? Oh yeah! All's you got to do is flex. You let your body do the talking.

How often do you work out? Five or six days a week, an hour to an hour and a half each time. I've been an athlete since high school, so I try to keep it up.
Any supplements? Just vitamins.
Use a trainer? No. I don't like to talk when I'm working out. It's more of a solitary thing for me.
Has working out helped you get dates? I've been going out with the same girl for three years. No. I think having a good line of shit is better.

How often do you work out? I work out every day. I'm an amateur boxer. My first fight was last spring. I don't know that I like it so much as I have to do it. It's a compulsion. Usually, I hate it.
Any supplements? I take your basic vitamins.
Hardest workout? Sparring. All the time. You do it till you can't do it anymore. I have a boxing trainer.
Has working out helped you get dates? Not at all. Sadly. I think guys think it's cool that I'm a boxer, but no dates. If anything, it probably works against me.

How often do you work out? Six days a week, for about 45 minutes to an hour.
Any supplements? No. It's really not good for you. There's no reason to take them. But a lot of people don't know this. They want the quick fix.
Any eccentric health or beauty secrets? Drink lots of water. No sugar, no fried foods, no salt.
Has working out helped you get dates? Most definitely. Girls love a guy in a nice tank top and a flat stomach. Flat stomachs are a dying breed.

Occupation: Student/waitress
How often do you work out? Three to four times a week, an hour each time. I do it mainly for health reasons.
Any supplements? I try to stay away from that. My body should do what it needs to on its own. Nowadays there's so much stuff out there, people don't know anything about it.
Hardest workout? A 17-hour double shift at my job. Harder than any gym.
Any eccentric health or beauty secrets? I drink more water than you can possibly imagine.
Has working out helped you get dates? I've found that most of the gym's clientele are gay. Outside the gym, I have gotten more dates. Obviously, it helps to be in shape.

How often do you work out? Five times a week, usually an hour. I have more energy, it relieves a lot of tension. I highly recommend the punching bag.
Any supplements? No. Just fruit juices. I tried creatine, but I had a bad experience with it. It made me more stressed out.
Hardest workout? Believe it or not it was a stretch class. I was sore for eight days.
Any eccentric health or beauty secrets? Laugh a lot.
Has working out helped you get dates? Not to my knowledge.

How often do you work out? About four days a week for two hours. I've been doing it for six years now. It's euphoric.
Any supplements? I don't take supplements. They're dangerous.
Hardest workout? Spinning indoor cycling. There's this fitness Nazi in the front of the room screaming at you. I injured myself because I didn't stretch properly afterward.
Has working out helped you get dates? No. It hasn't helped. But I don't do it for that. I do it for the adrenaline rush.

Public opinion of the Supreme Court is at an all-time low ahead of a politically charged ruling on the healthcare reform law.
The court's favorability rating stands at 52 percent, according to a poll released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center for People and the Press. Twenty-nine percent of those polled said they have an unfavorable view of the high court.
The finding comes as Republicans and Democrats map out their strategies for handling the court's healthcare ruling, which is expected in June. Both parties say the court's public image could be at stake.
Republicans, meanwhile, are ready to pounce on President Obama if he attacks the Supreme Court, an approach he appeared to be testing out shortly after oral arguments in the healthcare case. They say Obama would be undermining the public's trust in the court for political gain.
Republicans also say it would be a case of judicial activism for the justices to uphold Obama's health law, raising the question of how strongly they would criticize such a decision.
The latest Pew poll didn't find a significant partisan divide over the high court. Fifty-six percent of Democrats and 52 percent of Republicans said they have a favorable view of it.
The divide between supporters and opponents of the healthcare law was also small — 55 percent of the law's opponents have a favorable view of the court, compared with 52 percent of the law's supporters.
The survey was conducted in early April, after the court heard three days of oral arguments over the healthcare law. Those arguments indicated that the justices might well throw out the law's individual mandate, and perhaps the entire statute.
The justices are also set to rule by June on Arizona's controversial immigration low.

10 Reasons to Hire a PPC Management Expert
PPC advertising will deliver targeted traffic, but it takes technical know-how to do it properly. An expert paid search analyst reviews every facet of your account, looking for areas to improve leads and sales. Here's why you should hire one.
Rethinking Quality Score: It's All Relative
Quality score has limited use as an actionable metric. For day-to-day management, it's more useful to focus on relative quality score (i.e., your score compared to advertisers you directly compete against at each position in the search results).

MODEL NAOMI CAMPBELL accepted libel damages Thursday from Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper over a story that falsely claimed she was planning an elephant polo match in India for her partner's birthday.
Whoa! Who the heck dreamed that one up? The November article in the Daily Telegraph said Naomi was going to organize the tournament (a/k/a stampede) in Jodhpur for partner Vladimir Doronin's 50th birthday. The article included criticisms from animal-welfare activists, furious over the way fictional elephants were to be treated in the made-up event.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hammamet Serail
Tunisian delight
Yes I would recommend this hotel, read all the reviews and you'll get a clear picture of a hotel that caters for the Italians, but if there's to be 90% Italian to 10% English then who can blame them, although the English can always make far more than 10% fuss over trivia. We got far more than we expected on a budget guaranteed sunshine break,booked via agent from teletext on late deal, looking for sun tan and rest by the pool.
We got one of our best holidays! totally unexpected. Flight not too long as a bit cramped. Lovely clean, basic room, air con, sat tv etc., welcomed by pretty swan sculpture from the maid
who continued with excellent service throughout. The pool and gardens are great, lots of sun loungers and as entertainment is geared for Italians, the reps don't hassle you join if you don't want to.
The restaurant offered good choice of local and Italian cuisine, if you must eat boring english dishes then grab the head waiter, he'll go out of his way to keep you happy.
Be aware that this is a classic all-inclusive service, so beer, wine etc. in restaurant only, soft drinks, coffee, etc. by the pool. Everybody moans about it, but it's clear in almost every review.
Sadly the hotel gym had been closed down, but the on-site beauty salon offered a great massage at reasonable prices.
Overall the hotel staff made an effort to make your stay pleasurable, even those who moaned (some always will!)
were met with polite concern and efficient solution if possible.
Hammamet town is a short taxi ride (�2-�3), a lovely old coastal town with Medina, stunning views of the sandy bay, have a drink at the bar on the ramparts of the old town and soak in the atmosphere. You will be hassled to buy in every shop, but be firm, know your price and grab a bargain, only the weak get ripped off!
The holiday should end there, but even though I hate excursions, the Sahara 2 day trip was brilliant!
If you can stand coach travel then this is one not to miss, excellent value for money (about �75 each)
Ride a camel on the Sahara desert, visit the troglodyte village of Matmata where Star Wars filmed,
see a mirage across the salt flats, tour an oasis of palms and dates in horse drawn carriage,
see a Roman Coliseum and visit holy city. The trip covers the length and breadth of Tunisia, our stop over hotel was superb.
Would we go back, yes!
If we went again for a week i'd drop the All-inclusive for a cheaper alternative, use the local restaurants round the corner
for the few days by the pool and definitely factor in the Sahara trip.
Hotel needs upgraded
Have just returned from a weeks stay in this hotel after reading a few reviews we went with an openmind. It is not an all inclusive hotel by normal standards in that drinks are only available at meal times in the restruant. In saying this you can have wine by the bottle and the waiters are some of the nicests poeple i have ever met. The hotel ints in need of a complete overhaul in its bed rooms, when we arrived at 6.30 in the morning and went to our room 133 on the first floor we could not use the loo as the water was meeting us at the door. In saying this we were moved the next morning to a slighlty better room on the same floor we never quite managed to use the batroom or loo with out some kind of flood. But we did survive and made the most of our week but I have to add that since we got home myh husband has been ill and we are convinced he picked up a dose of food poisionig while we were there. the hotel is set in beautiful grounds has the nicest staff and is innot a bad area, altough it does cater for mainl itialian poeple whom we found to be quite rude and the entertainment staff did all the entertenment in itaian. Yes I would go to Tunsisia but would pick a differeent hotel.
HMMM Supposed to be a 4 Star ?????
Have just today returned from a week long stay at this hotel.
About 38 English guets and over 400 Italians. This hotel caters for the Italians, all signs are in Italian, tho the opening times for the restaurant did get put up in English.
Food is ok All inclusive not too British standards. Sangria very nice and available at the pool bar all day, and you could have it in glasses nt throw away plasic cups, coke , water etc available at the pool bar, wine and beer only available in the restaurant during meals.
Restaurant manager will arrang to have food cooked for you if there is nothing to your tastes. One evening he arranged for us to have freshly prepared pizza nad steak and chips for dinner.
You are given a table and are asked to be down for dinner at 7pm,
we are told that this is because we like things to be nice.
I would describe the hotel as a glorified travel lodge and certainly not a 4 star hotel. Tho they are trying to get more English guests and trying to cater for them.
Our room was basic, but clean with clean towels and linen every day.
Entertainment aimed at the Italians, very loud music at the pool and slapstick European entertainment at night.
Found the Italians to be very territorial and extremely rude.
A word of warning, DO NOT have a Henna Tatoo done. Mt son and his friend had them done at the hotel by a person employed by the hotel on Saturday. They did keep out of the water for the rest of the day and as we went on a 2 day tour, for the next 2 days. By Tuesday, the tatoos were wearing off, ( they are supposed to last 4 weeks) and leaving weeping sores. We wre fobbed off by the tatoo people when I complained and told to put cream on them which I could purchase from the beauty salon for 20 dinar, they then relented and applied the cream to the boys backs, (both aged 16).
During the evening, and encouraged by other Brirish guests I took the complaint to the Hotel Director, who on seeng the now almost non existant tatoos and weeping sores, called in the Big Boss, and The boys obtained afull refund and apology. I would never have let these tatoos be done on the streets but we wre given the impression that it would be done by trained staff, not a 17 year old who has now been sacked.
All the other reviews are correct, but we met a great bunch of English peopple and had a really good holiday.
I recomend the Arabian nights evening and iff you have time the 2 day tor to the Sahara.
I wouldnt stay at this hotel in the near future, but once they have sorted out things to attract English guests then I would return. This is the hotels first season with British guests and they are trying very very hard.
Muy Correcto
Pongo que mi estancia ha sido muy buena, ya que para mi lo mas importante es la comida y la limpieza.En cuanto a la comida es internacional, es decir, pavo,pollo,carne y pescado.Tambien hay comida de alli y7 como no, como el hotel es italiano hay pasta y pizza.
Por lo que hablamos con los demas espa�oles, eramos los unicos que teniamos lechuga y vinagre porque los demas en las ensaladas no tenian.
No es que sea bonito, pero en cuanto a eso y al trato que nos dieron fue inmejorable, ya que intentaban hablarnos en espa�ol, aunque los pobres no saben mucho.Noas trataron genial, y el hotel seria como un tres estrellas en Espa�a.
Going to the dogs ?
Not the worst place that I've stayed but bad points first.
Room on 1st floor was looking very tired and taking only June !! Got moved to ground floor next day which was refurbished.
Hotel caters for Italians so food mainly based around their cuisine, I liked but not multinational unless you class chips !
Staff work hard but when we had 300 guesta arrive they struggled and seemed to lack organisation.
Never found sangria and alcohol only served at meals, but taking that when we went for dinner on our last night found they had run out of white wine ! I mean they are only a hotel, and the deal is you get drinks with meals, absolutely rubbish.
Run out of dinars to exchange even though they went to bank in the morning !
Animation team never made an effort to involve us in any (few) games eg darts and as they only announced anything in Italian it was kinder hard to understand.
Hotel felt as if it would either fully refurbish and tick over or shut.
Snacks by pool were cold pizza , occasional rolls, cakes with no chiller and just covered with cling film which got taken off and not replaced.
Had to ask at reception daily to get hot water to our room.
Got moaned at for taking bottled water into hotel to drink at night. Women stated they had free water, but pointed out it was hard to get at night as in the restaurant ! she rolled her eyes but tough.
Good points
Room cleaner was great and did a brilliant job.
Waiters tried hard.
My advice - try another hotel.
Not all inclusive
This hotel caters for the Italians. The hotel is very grand. Breakfast is poor, no fruit and as for beans, sausage and bacon - forget it! I love pasta, rice, salads, chicken and fish therefore the food and wine (wine and beer only at meal times) were excellent. Be prepared to spend if you want alchohol as this is not all inclusive. Ice creams served once within the week at dinner time. Water sports, animal park, pirate cruise were excellent. Beach is nice. Barter for everything. Mini club was not the best for the kids. I would go to Tunisia again but would stay in a more English catered hotel for the kids and stay at Nebeul or Yasmin as there was no rep for the small amount of English that stayed and therefore paid for our transfer to the airport! We did try to contact the rep but there was no reply.
Una antes una después
El Serail tiene todo lo necesario para hacer inolvidable su estancia. He viajado acompa�ada, luego sola aunque nunca me senti m�s acompa�ada que all�.
Destaco su cocina, sus profesionales de servicio. Pero sin lugar a dudas el equipo de animaci�n.Ese "set" compuesto por jovenes que todos los dias est�n dispuestos a hacerte reir y no pensar en el regreso.!! Bravisimo!! Edoardo, tuto cuore, lui piu grande del mondo. Sempre ti ricoderai.
A positive experience
Hammamet Serail is situated in Hammamet Sud,between Hammamet Yasmine and Old Hammamet , about 50 lovely minutes walk along the beach either way.
Plus points: Beautiful setting,buffet food good, friendly staff, clean bedrooms, excellent service. One day our towels were in the shapes of swans. Indoor pool was Roman bath-like and very warm.
Downside: The beautiful outside pool was really cold and ought to be heated at this timeof year.The tennis court was run-down with broken net. No golf or gym. The hotel caters for Italian clientelle fit in. but Brits were able to take part in activities. All -inclusive meant drinks with meals and Sangria? in bar up to 11.00pm.
Highlights: Salsa dancing, gallons of Sangria, my son having his
shirt ripped off by a belly-dancer, the pool-side area, friendly staff, food.
Advice. Take tennis and table-tennis equipment .
Would we recommend this hotel? Yes
Viva il relax e l animazione

Paqciao fought giants small guys like him would have never have the balls of fighting. Clottey, Margarito, Mosley. He dominated them all. Size difference in the Marg fight was so huge that no one could have imagine Bradley, Berto, Ortiz, Marquez surviving Marg's pressure. During the time Paq picked these fights all these clowns' choice was Berto. Some clowns even suggested Bradley. Well, you've seen them fight. Berto was exposed as a mere hypejob. Every clown in this site expected Bradley to massacre the overrated Paq. After just a few rounds, Bradley was already on survival mode. It's embarrassing.
What these Paq hating clowns can't seem to accept is Paq is just as good when he's playing defense. His opponents are terrified of coming forward. (Well, they're the challengers. They're supposed to break the impasse and attempt to take the belt away from champ Paq.)

If Pac was Sergios size, hed wipe the floor with him, end of discussion. As would JMM and as for Bradley, that is a close one. If Bradley was Sergios size that would be interesting.

Sergio only says Pac is no5, as he is scared if he beats Floyd, people will see him as being ahead of Floyd, but behind Pac and still not no1.
So Sergio is getting rid of the competition which he knows is Pac.
Mind games, thats all it is.

Starting from Clottey, Paq's opponents have all been fighting to survive, with the exception of Margarito. Clottey covered himself up with his gloves the entire fight. The rest either ran or backpedaled.
Paq is an entertainer. And that is the key to understanding Paq's fights. If he stands still and plays counterpuncher, nobody can beat him. But nothing will happen if he does. And he panics when the crowd starts booing and heckling. He had to press the action even when he knows he's already miles ahead on points.
He finally got sick of having to be the sole entertainer. He opted to play defense in the Bradly fight and Paq was like an indestructible brick wall that's impossible to crack. Unfortunately, American Idol judges decided the outcome of the fight.
Recall fights like Chaves and Whittaker. Pernell backpedaled in the entire fight. The difference between Chaves Sr, in this fight, and Paq is that Paq can stand his ground, pushed on the ropes and still come out victorious. Chaves doing the same would have been disastrous so his only choice to win/survive was to keep the pressure going. There's no other way.
In other words, Paq is only doing it because of the crowd. That's why I want to see the Marques 4 happen. I can see Paq not worrying about the audience and will do the same thing he did in the Bradly fight. That is, stand his ground and keep motioning Marques to come in and fight.
If the Bradly rematch happens, I'm not sure if Paq will do the same thing. Real judges would score the fight, anyway. Paq wins again either by KO or decision.

So what if Martinez destroys Chavez and KO's him in let's say 4 rounds? Does he get any respect then? I mean people talking about the fact that Pac is beating bigger guys and Sergio started at 147 and Chavez will weigh almost 180 and have a 3 inch height advantage on him.

Kevin Ware is not much for the spotlight.
His teammates on the University of Louisville basketball team will point out he's typically the player in the corner of the room when the media is allowed into the locker room. In his own words, Ware is "just not a media-type guy."
But on Wednesday afternoon, Ware was in the spotlight. Three days after suffering a horrific broken right leg in an NCAA Tournament game against Duke, Ware did interviews with all the major news outlets and then sat down with the local media – which included 23 cameras and around 75 members of the media.
"I'm a very quiet guy," he said. "A lot of this is new to me."
But Ware said he has quickly found out just how big his story has become. U of L athletic director Tom Jurich called it "an international story."
Ware said the outreach of support has "been amazing" since he suffered the injury on national television and then had surgery later that night. He spent two days in Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis and returned to Louisville on Tuesday.
He's expected to travel with the team to Atlanta on Wednesday night.
"I didn't know this situation would spark the whole country," Ware said. "I just really appreciate everybody and the support I have had but we still have a job to do. We have two more games to win and that's the most important thing right now. I will recover and I will be fine. But we have work to do."
Louisville will play Wichita State on Saturday night in the national semifinals.
Ware said his favorite call was one from Kobe Bryant but Pitino and his mother, Lisa Junior, also noted First Lady Michelle Obama called to offer encouragement. Hundreds of other athletes, actors and musicians, not to mention friends and just other random people watching the game have called or used some form of social media to get in contact with Ware.
"Stuff like this just doesn't happen for no reason," Ware said. "There's a reason behind everything. I assume that I will find out what the reason will be. But it's just a process I am ready for."
This story will be updated.

Heart disease is referred to as the silent killer, because it is the number one cause of death in the world and can often strike with little or no symptoms. Heart disease is the leading cause of death, killing 3 in every 10 people in the world. The good news is that approximately 80% or more of all heart disease is preventable!
Heart disease has many different risk factors, some which you can control and some of which you cannot. The risk factors you cannot control include your age (men 45 or older and women 55 or older), gender, race, and family history. Risk factors that you can control include weight, diet, physical activity, monitoring cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, blood sugar, smoking and alcohol intake.
Here are several steps to help you improve the controllable risk factors:
Heart Healthy Eating Chart
Total fat
30% or less of total calories

We arrived at the port early (before 11am), and were able to par-take in the early check-in process. I highly recommended that anyone traveling on a cruise try and get in on the early check-in as it reduces the stress of getting on-board. On our first cruise we did not check-in early and waited in a line to check in for over 2 hours. So, with the early check-in there were no lines. We got our Sail and Sign cards right away. There was a short wait (till 12 noon) before we could board. Other than that it was clear sailing (pun intended) to get onboard. Since the rooms were not ready till 1:30 we hung out on the Lido deck and enjoyed the free sparkling wine until our room was ready.
For this cruise we had a Oceanview Balcony room about mid-ship. Room was what we expected, other than the hair we found on the bed spreads. Guess they were in a hurry to make the rooms, and did not take the extra care to make sure the bed spreads were clear of any debris. The cabin steward did take care of the issue, but it make us leery of what else was not changed out. We did not find anything else wrong with the room. Departure from shore was late due to late flight arrivals. Carnival held the ship up to allow the people arriving on the late flights to get on-board. Once we set sail, the seas were calm and we were off to our first port.
We had 2 full days at sea before reaching Port (Puerto Vallarta). Kids enjoyed their time with the Camp Carnival group. Traveling with a 3 and 9 year-old (both Girls). The kids were always asking to go to the camp instead of spending time with us. We were more than happy to accommodate their request, which gave us some time alone, and time to go spend time with other adults.
Dining room staff (Thomas and Libor) were fantastic. They treated us well, and took care of us. The kids really liked them.
Some of the Casino staff were excellent. They would chat with you and get to know you. Other members of the staff were very stiff and impersonal.
Being this was a Christmas Cruise, I was hoping to see more Christmas related items. While there were some, I was expecting more. Will not be taking another cruise Xmas week.

Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this cake: This was amazing..... Chocolate cake covered in yummy chocolate ganache and then covered in chocolate modeling clay. A chocoholic's dream!!!!... The humidity made the cake settle.... And I was a little disheartened about it. his head kept slumping over.... I did fix him with the bent part of a plastic clothes hanger in his jaw. the birthday girl absolutely loved it..... And they were loving how it tasted as well. I'm no longer intimidated by 3D cakes.... Can't wait for the next one ;)

So you didn't update your Apple TV 2 firmware to version 6.0 (iOS 7) when it came in September, hoping for a jailbreak for 5.3 software (iOS 6.1.4 – 10B809) to come sooner or later? The wait is finally over as an updated version of FireCore's Seas0nPass now allows for an untethered jailbreak of Apple TV 5.3 (Apple TV 2 only).
Apple is adding more and more content to the Apple TV: starting today, Apple TV users in the UK can access NOW TV's Sky Sports. For £9.99, the Sky Sports Day Pass gives users instant access on their TV to all six Sky Sports channels. The pass activates immediately upon purchase and is billed directly to the iTunes account.
Apple has yet again added new content to already quite long list of channels available on the Apple TV. Among the newcomers is Bloomberg, Sony's Crackle service, Watch ABC and Korean channel KORTV.
One of the main features that keeps my tied into the Apple ecosystem is AirPlay – the ability to stream your content to your Apple TV or AirPort Express, wirelessly. So when CyanogenMod developer Koushik Dutta released AllCast for Android, I was very interested.
