@Deannak Sorry, I forgot to answer your other question. I never considered any Karisma properties (Azul Fives/sensatori etc), but if you are planning on having your wedding on any form of a sky deck (which is popular at both Azul fives and Beach Palace), I know that Azul charges for usage of their skydeck - Beach Palace doesn't charge for use of theirs.

If you are looking for smaller, beach palace is going to be too much for you - it is quite a HUGE resort
Azuls Five is a great choice with well put together wedding packages and stunning venues

If you decide to have something more private and still luxurious as Beach Villa...check out Hacienda Paraiso in Tulum. It's amazing! Molecular gastronomy catering chef.

Hi, I am getting married at Moon Palace next week- YAY! I have been very impressed with the resort so far and I wanted to share a few thoughts/recommendations: 1) do the preview of paradise! We gained so much info and you get the $$ back for your stay before your wedding- WELL worth it! 2) Don't be afraid to shop for outside vendors. Even with the vendor fee, we found a photographer that is giving us more time, more shots and better service plus a special video project- all for less than the on-site! Through this forum actually, I found Octavio Montes Photography. After checking out his beautiful portfolio on his website and contacting him- I was sold. He is SO nice and friendly. Responds to emails same-day and worked with me on setting up exactly every detail needed. If you are thinking at all about an outside photographer, take a look at his website, you won't be disappointed! The photos are SO important and it wasn't something I was willing to use just anyone for. I'll post some pics after my wedding!

Hey @Deannak!
I´m pretty sure you already decided the resort for your BIG DAY!
I think your top three options are the best, the Beach Palace is a great resort, big rooms with awesome views, the food is amazing and the staff and WC are really helpful and professionals.
Talking about Now hotels, specially Now Jade, gives you this "exclusive" feeling with a relaxing atmosphere and a really professional WC, they really now their job, ask them about the Carnival Terrace, that`s a really good option.
I´ve been working in those three resorts, as a photographer, take a look at my job, Think about the getting ready, the ceremony, reception or Trash the dress... this is my business and you are going to love it
this is how the sunset looks at Now Jade:

text: Despite persistent criticisms, soaring costs and a troubled past, a dozen V-22 Osprey helicopters have been operating safely in Iraq for more than a year -- and winning praise from the Marines who fly them. "I used to fly the CH-46 and we couldn't do nearly what we do now in terms of weight, cargo, distance or speed," says Lt. Col. Christopher Seymour, noting that the tilt-rotor Osprey can fly twice as fast and cruise much higher than its predecessor. Another Osprey pilot, however, says the aircraft has not yet been used in daytime missions to Baghdad or other hot spots. "We have not been battle-tested because we aren't going guns blazing into hot zones," says Maj. Paul Kopacz. "Our nation is now too sensitive to the loss of soldiers to let that happen."

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity | Year: 2014
This investigation was carried out in order to assess the marine environmental radioactive pollution and the radiological impact caused by a large production plant of phosphate fertilizer, located in the Lebanese coastal zone. Natural radionuclides (238U, 235U, 232Th, 226Ra, 210Po, 210Pb, 40K) and anthropogenic 137Cs were measured by alpha and gamma spectrometry in seawater, sediment, biota and coastal soil samples collected from the area impacted by this industry. The limited environmental monitoring program within 2km of the plant indicates localized contamination with radionuclides of the uranium decay chain mainly due to the transport, the storage of raw materials and the free release of phosphogypsum waste. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Atoll Research Bulletin | Year: 2012
In order to guide conservation efforts in Baa Atoll in the Republic of Maldives, macro-invertebrate species (principally sponges, sea stars, urchins, holothurians, crinoids, ophiuroids, ascidians, bivalves, gastropods, anemones, zooanthids, anthipatharian, gorgonians, alcyonaceans, and flatworms) were inventoried on 21 sites to provide an index of benthic species richness (number of species). A total of 182 species were recorded and identified. Richness ranged between 6 to 40 species per sampling sites. The richest sites were hard-bottom submerged lagoonal patch reefs experiencing high currents. Ecological rarity dominates the macro-invertebrate community pattern with 95 species found in only one sampling site. This new data set brings fresh knowledge on Baa Atoll and Maldives in order to identify biodiversity hot-spots. Further work will investigate the sensitivity of biodiversity conservation planning and sitting algorithms to this data set. Source

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science | Year: 2014
Phosphorus contents in the sediments were determined in archipelago areas of the northern Baltic Sea (Svealand in Sweden and Åland, SW Finland and W Uusimaa in Finland) during 2008-2012. Spatial and vertical distribution of phosphorus was studied by analysing sediment samples from 345 stations of different seabed substrate types. A sequential extraction method was applied to evaluate the pool of the potentially mobile phosphorus, i.e., the amount of phosphorus that can be expected to be released from sediments to water with time, and possibly support primary production. In addition, vertical distribution of immobile phosphorus forms in the sediments was used as a tool to assess phosphorus burial. The uppermost 2cm of sediments were calculated to contain 126,000tonnes of phosphorus in the study area covering 19,200km2 of the seafloor. Subtracting the assumed average background content (i.e. that assumed to be buried) of this total phosphorus content gave an estimation of 31,000-37,000tonnes of potentially mobile phosphorus at the sediment surface. Redox sensitive iron-bound phosphorus accounts for two thirds of this pool. Compared with the total phosphorus input from the catchment of the entire Baltic Sea - 29,000 tonnes in 2009 - it can be concluded that the store of phosphorus that can be released with time from the sediments is large, and that internal phosphorus recycling processes thus may play a key role in phosphorus fluxes in the coastal zone. Spreading of hypoxia in the future, as recent modelling and sediment proxy results suggest, is likely to severely deteriorate the water quality, particularly in the archipelago areas where the water exchange is slow. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Scleractinia corals of Baa Atoll (Maldives): First checklist and overview of stony corals community structure
Bigot L.,University of Reunion Island |
Amir H.,Marine Research Center
Atoll Research Bulletin | Year: 2012
A survey of scleractinian corals for 21 stations in Baa Atoll (Republic of Maldives) was conducted in June 2009. The goal of the survey was to i) compile for the first time for this atoll a scleractinian coral check-list, ii) estimate the atoll total richness, iii) estimate intra-atoll richness variation and iv) describe preliminary patterns of community structure according to geomorphology and location criteria. The survey was stratified by the main reef geomorphological units. A total of 173 species of scleractinia belonging to 49 genera were recorded, including several species new to Maldives. Conversely, a number of species of genera quite common in the Indian Ocean were absent of the list of Pocilloporidae. Average richness per station was nearly 60 species. Richness ratio between slopes and flats/tops were between 3 and 1.3, with an average of 2.1, highlighting richer slopes than flats and tops. Differences of community composition between geomorphologic strata and between oceanic/lagoonal reefs were significant. Central lagoonal reefs provided highest richness, and highest coral cover as well. These findings are critical to plan for the conservation of Baa Atoll biodiversity. Source

A preliminary attempt was made to quantify the alpha diversity of fiddler crabs (Uca spp.) along a short transect across the interface between an intertidal mudflat and a largely Avicennia mangrove at Ambeua on the Indonesian island of Kaledupa in Sulawesi Tenggara, by means of visual counts within 2 m2 quadrats. An astounding diversity of up to six seemingly coexisting species per quadrat-and a total of seven such species within an area of 4 m2-was revealed. Four species of the ecologically equivalent sentinel crabs (Macrophthalmus) were also present in the quadrats. Seven fiddler crab species equates to more than half those known from Wallacea, more than one-third of all those known from Indonesia, and almost one-fifth of the entire Uca fauna of the Indo-West-Pacific. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009.

Excellent 4.4 /5 from 49 reviews
Hotel was great. location not so great. overall to spend the night with my wife and 3 girls it was fine
The women at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. The patio where you could have drinks in the evening and breakfast in the morning was super lovely.
Big shout out to the staff, they are 5 stars all the way and made the stay amazing. I highly recommend the pick up service, Nickolus was professional, friendly and fast. He showed us to the right atm to for cash, out of the airport and to the hotel in 30 minutes. 50 Euros for 2 people and totally worth it, especially if you never been to Athens. Front desk ladies recommended amazing meals, directions, always smiling and physically at the desk 24 hours. The hotel itseld is a jewel in an up and coming neighborhood. Very clean, modern and the linens are great. Super close to local amazing restaurants, shopping however a little far from the Acrópolis. Take a taxi for about 6 Euros each way. The room we stayed in was smaller than expected however you have personal outdoor space, comfortable huge beds and anything you could need. The bathroom wasn't well planned and gets water all over the floor. The WiFi connection was weak or not at all, we were on the 4th floor so probably far from the router. We will absolutely stay on our next visit!!
Friendly staff. Good sized rooms. Adequate continental breakfast served in the room.
I loved the McQueen Hotel! It was just what we needed for two adults and two children. We had the top floor "suite" with a complete kitchen and two balconies, one with a great view of the Acropolis. It is close to the Metro and to a wonderful restaurant recommended by the staff. The staff were friendly and very helpful. And we were able to arrange through the hotel transportation from the airport and to the port of Piraeus. They also helped up to book a sightseeing tour and the hydrofoil to the island of Hydra. I definitely recommend it. Very clean, very comfortable.

Is it safe to wash your car with dish soap?
By mikeyslady
It is safe to wash your vehicle with dish soap, but it will make the surface dull if you have had a wax job done. It helps alot with the greasy layer on the bottom sides.
I use Dawn dish soap on my car have done it for years and I haven't had no problems with it hurting my paint job it don't take the wax off but it is good taking the dirt and grime and when you rinse it. It comes out shiney no streaks on the glass or body and its cheaper than the car wash.
It is perfectly fine to wash your car with dish soap. I paint cars from time to time with my husband and I did ask at the paint store. I think it works better and it is cheaper.
It's all I have ever used.
I think it would depend on the quality of the water in your area. I have used dish washing liquid and been left with a white film on my car so I don't usually use it.

Living a Salt and Light Lifestyle, Part 2
The Rev. Natasha Murray-Norman of Parkview United Methodist Church in Benton presented the second and final part of her "Living a Salt and Light Lifestyle" series on Aug. 14.
The pastor started at Parkview at the end of June and has shown a preference for targeting an overall theme and sticking with it through a series every now and again. For those interested in hearing the pastor in person, Parkview is located at 514 N. Border in Benton. Church services start at 10:45 a.m. and Sunday school starts at 9:45 a.m. The congregation at Parkview welcomes visitors and encourages people looking for a church home to stop in and see what the institution has to offer.
As usual during the summer, the choir is on break. Caleb's Crossing, a group from Arkansas Tech in Russellville, was the musical guest on Aug. 14 (that band knows the subtle charm of a Fender Telecaster running through a delay pedal, by the way). You can visit Caleb's Crossing on Facebook here.

Tarzan echos Scagg's life motto. Now his death motto.
Tarzan the Avenger! Irony is delicious when it involves the hideous death of a really bad guy….
Snakes Alive! Black mambas to the rescue!! Jane arrives just a bit late, but just in time to see Van Dorn swell up like a stuffed pig and explode. :)> MambaVenomBadJuJuAGowa!!
Tarzan looks a little pinheaded in that last panel.
So is Tantor bilingual since he can understand the language of the great apes as well as, obviously, the language of the great elephants? Lucky for Tarzan he was able to team up with such a learned elephant!
The old poisonous snake toss trick. Sonuvab? PG rated cursing.
Scaggs should have stayed with the tent shows selling Snake Oil.
Ooh, Black Mamba? He's got about two minutes, then.
I used to see Mambas cross the road when riding my motorcycle in Peace Corps (there are green ones, too, very pretty and very deadly). The locals thought they were sorcerers who could take serpentine shape.
OOOOH! Scaggs been scragged, and Mistah Hissstah gonna get Mistah Van Dorn.
Both type of vipers you mention are thick bodied, with small "horns" above their nostrils. The snake in today's strip has a long, thin body and no "horns", no extended hood therefore no cobra…..sorry tribemate, but it has to be a black mamba! :)> KnowYourSnakesAGowa!!
The one Tarzan is about to toss upon piggy Van Dorn appears to be a green mamba, or boomslang….the mamba is far more aggressive….so let's hope that's it! :)> LoveThoseSnakesAGowa!!
Is that because they rattle your cage?
Not really B'wana….they "rattle" everyone else's! :)> SailorSeaSnakeAGowa!!
All I know about this type of snake I learned from a buddy who served in the South Pacific during WW2. He stated he and some buddies were swimming (off duty) one day when some poisonous snakes showed up between them and the shore, He claims he ran all the way to shore on the surface of the water.
Banded Sea Kraits…very deadly, but mild-mannered….not like mambas in Tarzan's jungles! :)> 30Minutes&You'reDeadAGowa!!

This past Christmas I bought a BlackBerry Storm2 9550 from IT&E on Guam. They provide Verizon Service. The salesperson ensured me that the phone was unlocked and could be used anywhere.
In June of this year, I cancelled my service with IT&E/Verizon due to us moving to Hawaii. In July I went to the local Verizon store to get new service for my BlackBerry but they were unable to do this due to my phone being on a "restricted list". I contacted IT&E and after 2 weeks they called me and said I would now be able to get new service in Hawaii. Well, this wasn't the case. I repeated the whole procedure 2 more times where I tried to get service, but couldn't and contacted IT&E again and again.
IT&E then told me that there was something wrong with my phone that they could not fix and asked me to mail my BlackBerry back to them - they would then send me a replacement.
After waiting patiently for 3 weeks, i finally received my new BlackBerry yesterday ( 30 Sep). Today I went to Verizon to get service transferred from my temp phone to my BlackBerry. After entering the phone code in the system, the salesperson told me my phone was restricted and I would have to call Verizon to get service tranferred. I called Verizon and they told me they could not do it either because my BlackBerry isn't a Verizon BlackBerry.
So, what do I do now? Did IT&E sell me some counterfit phone? What can I do to get service with Verizon? Send it back to Guam for another replacement? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Once exclusively reserved for study by ultra-religious male scholars of Judaism, Kabbalah has recently become known as a multi-million dollar, celebrity-endorsed phenomenon. SECRETS OF KABBALAH strips away the hype and demystifies the writings that have been studied by Jewish scholars for thousands of years. Is the Kabbalah of the stars the same Kabbalah that Jewish scholars have studied for generations? Even as more and more people are seen wearing the red string bracelets associated with Kabbalah, the original teachings behind this seemingly new fad are in fact understood by precious few.
In Kabbalah Yoga, the benefits of yoga's proven techniques, combined with the basic tenets of the Kabbalah, which are mentioned and incorporated into the poses, are designed to help the user become a better version of oneself, inside and out. The Ambitious Beginners DVD includes a modified version of the program for those who have no Yoga experience and want to begin with the basics. Ambitious Beginners provides you with a basic yoga routine that incorporates the fundamentals of The Kabbalah, the ancient Judaic wisdom. ~ Kabbalah asks why, Yoga shows you how.
Guarded for centuries, its secrets once passed by word of mouth only, the Kabbalah remains one of our oldest mystical paths for union with the divine. What is the Kabbalah, and why are its teachings so treasured by those who know them? On The Beginner's Guide to the Kabbalah, you will join Rabbi David Cooper for an uplifting introduction to this living cornerstone of Judaism's esoteric tradition. Join him as he lifts the veil on the Kabbalah's core teachings and practices, and their potential to uncode the secrets of the universe. From the four worlds of reality, to the fascinating archetypes symbolized by the Tree of Life, to meditations for merging with the divine, here is an outstanding guide to the Kabbalah and its many wonders.

BERLIN, September 28, 2009 — This week, Norwegian energy supplier Eidsiva commenced operation of the first 'intelligent' charging station for electric vehicles in Gjøvik (Oppland Province), which is supplied by global market leader Coulomb Technologies. Apart from the one in Gjøvik, Coulomb's European sales partner, the 365 Energy Group, will install another three ChargePoint™ stations in Lillehammer and Hamar.
The owner and operator of the charging stations is Eidsiva Vekst AS who is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eidsiva Energi AS. Eidsiva Energi is one of Norway's largest energy corporations, and has its head-office in Hamar. Eidsiva Energi has over 900 employees.
Christian Forø from Eidsiva explains the company's commitment, "We want to be the driving force in the field of e-mobility in Norway and networked charging stations installed by the 365 Energy Group are a step in the right direction."
Hong Thieu, CFO of the 365 Energy Group, is delighted about the progress achieved in developing the e-mobility infrastructure, "The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and now Norway – I am very optimistic that the ChargePoint charging stations will soon be available in all European countries. We want to help put more electric vehicles on the roads with a well-developed, user-friendly infrastructure."
Coulomb's ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations provide far more than simple electricity filling stations: the 'fuel pumps' are connected to a network that allows remote monitoring of the charging stations. This enables drivers to find nearby charging stations via a Google™ Map where they can see if they are available for use. Drivers are also alerted via text message when charging is complete. The charging stations network technology also safely processes the drivers' subscription at the stations for payment.
Via an online portal charging station owners can find out the real-time operational status of the stations, see how much electricity has been consumed, subscribe to various notifications about charging station behavior, and generate usage reports.
Drivers access the ChargePoint Network by holding their Smart Card – an electronic key – over the front panel of the charging station. After plugging in their vehicles, the charging station's door closes, securing the driver's cord until charging is complete.
"The fact that the intelligent charging stations are connected together in a network enables the services to be adapted to user needs," says Christian Forø from Eidsiva, summing up the advantages. "When the number of e-vehicles grows, the ChargePoint station functions will enable drivers to drive with greater efficiency."
The 365 Energy Group, with headquarters in Berlin, Eindhoven and Milan, is considered a pioneer in the e-mobility industry. The company provides innovative charging stations with integrated network technology – a completely new and holistic approach to charging electric vehicles. This technology was developed by Coulomb Technologies, the global market leader in electric vehicle infrastructure. 365 Energy is the international partner of Coulomb Technologies and an investment management company belonging to Estag Capital AG in Berlin.
Coulomb Technologies headquartered in Campbell, Calif., offers a family of products and services that provide a plug-in vehicle charging infrastructure, which includes ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations ranging in capability from 120V 16A to 240V 80A AC charging to future 120kW DC charging. Coulomb applies networking technology to the challenge of charging electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids in order to fuel the electric transportation industry. Coulomb's ChargePoint Network www.mychargepoint.net addresses the needs of drivers, utilities, governments, and parking space owners. Follow Coulomb on Twitter at twitter.com/coulombevi.

In the United States Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit
July 14, 2008
GILBERT R. ARREOLA, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.MOHAMMED CHOUDRY, M.D., DEFENDANT-APPELLEE.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. No. 03 C 2854-Matthew F. Kennelly, Judge.
Before BAUER, WOOD and EVANS, Circuit Judges.
Gilbert Arreola brought this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that prison doctor Mohammed Choudry's treatment of his injured ankle constituted a deliberate indifference to a medical need in violation of the Eighth Amendment. Following a twoday trial, a jury found in favor of Dr. Choudry. Arreola moved for a new trial, arguing that conversations between his lawyer and various jury members after the verdict revealed that the foreperson was biased. The district court denied the motion. Arreola challenges the refusal to grant a new trial, arguing that his due process rights were violated and the court misapplied the standard for evaluating juror bias set forth in McDonough Power Equipment, Inc. v. Greenwood, 464 U.S. 548, 556, 104 S.Ct. 845, 78 L.Ed.2d 663 (1984).*fn1 For the following reasons, we affirm.
In 2003, Arreola, a prisoner at Hill Correctional Center, injured his ankle during a soccer match and was taken to the prison infirmary for treatment. Dr. Choudry examined him and found no bone tenderness. Based on Arreola's symptoms, Dr. Choudry diagnosed him with a sprained ankle, ordered him back to his cell, and scheduled a follow-up visit in seven to ten days. Days later, Arreola was transferred to Cook County Jail, where another doctor took an x-ray of his ankle and determined that Arreola had a broken ankle. Arreola brought this suit, alleging that Dr. Choudry failed to conduct a proper examination of his ankle to determine the nature of the injury. The central issue at trial was whether Dr. Choudry's treatment of Arreola's ankle constituted deliberate indifference to Arreola's serious medical needs.
The jury voir dire process began with each prospective juror's completion of a written questionnaire. Question 19 asked: "Have you or any family member ever had a broken or severely sprained ankle, foot, or leg?" Juror Laterza, who was later elected foreperson, answered "no." Fourteen prospective jurors answered this question affirmatively, and Judge Kennelly conducted a series of follow-up questions to clarify the extent of the injuries and whether there had been any problems with the medical treatment.
Arreola challenged two jurors for cause, based on their personal experiences with ankle sprains suffered by family members. Judge Kennelly questioned them further by asking whether they would be able to put aside those experiences; both replied they could and Arreola withdrew his challenge to these jurors. Judge Kennelly seated twelve jurors, six of whom had answered affirmatively to the question involving ankle injuries.
The jury returned a verdict in favor of Dr. Choudry; later Judge Kennelly permitted both parties to speak to the jurors. Arreola's counsel filed a Motion for New Trial, supported by her own affidavit recounting her conversations with the jurors. The affidavit stated that Juror Laterza, who answered "no" to Question 19, told Arreola's counsel that she had once suffered a bad ankle sprain, and that based on this experience, she had no problem believing that Dr. Choudry could press on Arreola's ankle without finding tenderness. Counsel also stated that information she obtained from another juror during the post-trial interview indicated that the jury had given weight to Laterza's experience during deliberations.
Judge Kennelly made further inquiry and arranged for Laterza to be available by telephone. He requested that both parties submit questions to ask Laterza. Arreola's questions included: Did you see a doctor regarding your ankle sprain? Did you compare the actions taken by your doctor regarding your ankle sprain with the actions taken by Dr. Choudry regarding Arreola's ankle injury? Did you discuss this comparison with the other jurors? Did you disclose your sprained ankle on your Juror Questionnaire form, and if not, why? Judge Kennelly rejected these questions, particularly those involving juror deliberations, commenting that the conversation would "be done in a way that does not do anything that in the least bit will deter any person from wanting to serve on a jury."
Judge Kennelly placed the call to Laterza with both parties' counsel and a court reporter present. He began the conversation by asking Laterza whether she had told Arreola's counsel after trial that she had suffered a sprained ankle, and Laterza responded, "You know what? I did." The following discussion then took place:
Judge: Was it a sprain that you regard as a severe sprain?
Laterza: It hurt to walk. Oh, my gosh, yes, I did.
Judge: So when you answered "no"on that particular question-In other words, the question didn't say whether you had a sprained ankle. It said: Have you had a severely sprained ankle? Would you have regarded it as a severe sprain?
Laterza: Well, I still went on vacation. I mean, it was-I mean, I still worked and I still went on-I had plans. I went on a cruise, and I went on the vacation. I mean, I did the tours and everything.
Judge: How long after the sprain did you do that?
Laterza: Oh, immediately. It was like-I think I had to work the next day and then I was leaving that Saturday.
Judge: So you didn't miss any work, in other words?
Laterza: No.
Judge: And then you went right on vacation within a day or two after?
Laterza: Right.
Judge: I mean, if I were to ask you today, have you ever had a-the wording is important here- have you ever had a severely sprained ankle, how would you answer that; yes or no?
Laterza: Okay, but what degree now are you talking severe?
Judge: Actually that is a really darned good question, and I guess the answer is-
Laterza: It hurt.
Judge: It would be a question of whether you regarded it as severe. So did you have-would you regard the sprained ankle you had as a severe sprain?
Judge: Okay. And when you answered the question on the questionnaire "no," were you trying to conceal or hide anything or anything like that?
Laterza: No. You know what? I forgot about it.
Judge: All right. But even now, you would not regard this-because of the way it was, you would not have regarded it as a severe sprain; is that a fair characterization?
Laterza: Well, severe being that, okay, it hurt-
Judge: Yes.
Laterza: -but I still functioned.
Judge: Okay. So, in other words, if I were to ask you right now, do you regard that as having been a sprain that you would characterize as a severe sprain, would you say it was severe or it wasn't severe?
Laterza: I would have to say no because I was able to walk.
Judge Kennelly ended the conversation, and subsequently denied the motion for new trial in a written order, concluding that, under McDonough, Laterza was not dishonest because (1) she had not recalled the injury at the time she filled out the questionnaire, and (2) Arreola failed to even prove that Laterza's answer was incorrect because she affirmed that she would not have regarded it as a severe sprain that would have called for an affirmative answer on the questionnaire.
We review a decision to deny a motion for a new trial based on juror bias for an abuse of discretion. Artis v. Hitachi Zosen Clearing Inc., 967 F.2d 1132, 1141 (7th Cir. 1992). "[T]here are 'compelling institutional considerations militating' in favor of appellate deference to the trial judge's evaluation of the significance of possible juror bias." United States v. Medina, 430 F.3d 869, 875 (7th Cir. 2005) (citation omitted); United States v. Sanders, 962 F.2d 660, 673 (7th Cir. 1992) ("The trial judge will always be in a better position than the appellate judges to assess the probable reactions of jurors in a case over which he has presided.") (citation omitted). The Fifth and Sixth Amendments guarantee due process of law and trial by an impartial jury. United States v. Brodnicki, 516 F.3d 570, 574 (7th Cir. 2008). Trial courts have wide discretion in deciding a motion for a new trial. United States v. McClinton, 135 F.3d 1178, 1186 (7th Cir. 1998).
Arreola first contends that he must be retried because the "truncated" juror bias hearing in Judge Kennelly's chambers violated his procedural due process rights. Arreola argues that as soon as Judge Kennelly determined that a hearing was necessary, he was entitled to a meaningful hearing. Specifically, he argues that Laterza was not sworn in, he did not have an opportunity to cross-examine Laterza or call witnesses, and thus, the proceeding failed to provide him with a meaningful opportunity to be heard.
Due process does not require a new trial every time jurors have been placed in a potentially compromising situation. Rushen v. Spain, 464 U.S. 114, 118, 104 S.Ct. 453, 78 L.Ed.2d 267 (1983); McClinton, 135 F.3d at 1186. "[D]ue process means a jury capable and willing to decide the case solely on the evidence before it, and a trial judge ever watchful to prevent prejudicial occurrences and to determine the effect of such occurrences when they happen." Oswald v. Bertrand, 374 F.3d 475, 478 (7th Cir. 2004) (quoting Smith v. Phillips, 455 U.S. 209, 217, 102 S.Ct. 940, 71 L.Ed.2d 78 (1982)). The nature of the hearing, in which all interested parties are permitted to participate, to some extent should include a determination by the trial judge of the circumstances, the impact of those circumstances on the jury, and whether or not the result of those circumstances prejudiced the verdict. Smith, 455 U.S. at 215, 102 S.Ct. 940.
Arreola's claims seek to expand present due process protections in situations involving post-verdict allegations of pre-existing juror bias. This Circuit has held that while due process may require some sort of hearing to determine whether extraneous contacts may have affected a jury's ability to be fair, the standard applies only to prejudicial extraneous contacts, and not to pre-existing juror bias. McClinton, 135 F.3d at 1186 (emphasis added); Artis, 967 F.2d at 1141. In the due process context, the tool for examining an intrinsic influence like juror bias is voir dire. McClinton, 135 F.3d at 1186. Other circuits have drawn similar distinctions. See United States v. Connolly, 341 F.3d 16, 34-35 (1st Cir. 2003) (holding that a juror's notes are an intrinsic influence on a jury's verdict, thus an evidentiary hearing is not required); United States v. Sotelo, 97 F.3d 782, 796 (5th Cir. 1996) (holding that trial courts are afforded broader discretion in dealing with intrinsic influences due to jury misconduct than it has afforded in cases of extrinsic influences); United States v. Bassler, 651 F.2d 600, 602 (8th Cir. 1981) (holding that a distinction may be drawn between extrinsic influences, such as publicity, consideration of matters not admitted into evidence, communications between a juror and an outside person, and intrinsic influences, such as a juror's notes, discussions or intimidation among jurors) (citing United States v. Winters, 434 F.Supp. 1181, 1186 (N.D. Ind. 1977), aff'd 582 F.2d 1152 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 439 U.S. 936, 99 S.Ct. 333, 50 L.Ed.2d 332 (1978)).
Laterza's prior experience with an ankle injury constitutes an intrinsic influence that does not require an evidentiary hearing, let alone a new trial. See Marquez v. City of Albuquerque, 399 F.3d 1216, 1223 (10th Cir. 2005)
("[A] juror's personal experience does not constitute extraneous prejudicial information."); Peterson v. Wilson, 141 F.3d 573, 577-78 (5th Cir. 1998) (holding that juror discussion of personal past experience is not "extrinsic" evidence that requires a new trial). Moreover, jurors are expected to bring commonly known facts and their experiences to bear in arriving at their verdict. "We cannot expunge from jury deliberations the subjective opinions of jurors, their attitudinal expositions, or their philosophies. These involve the very human elements that constitute one of the strengths of our jury system." Shillcutt v. Gagnon, 827 F.2d 1155, 1159 (7th Cir. 1987) (internal quotations omitted). Although jurors may not go beyond the record to develop their own evidence, they are entitled to evaluate the evidence presented at trial in light of their own experience. United States v. O'Brien, 14 F.3d 703, 708 (1st Cir. 1994) ("[I]n gauging witness credibility and choosing from among competing inferences, jurors are entitled to take full advantage of their collective experience and common sense.").
We find Judge Kennelly conducted a post-verdict voir dire to investigate pre-existing juror bias that satisfied due process. He made the inquiry into the allegation of bias in a direct and conscientious manner, keeping in mind that the integrity of jury proceedings must not be jeopardized by unauthorized invasions. Remmer v. United States, 347 U.S. 227, 229, 74 S.Ct. 450, 98 L.Ed. 654 (1954); United States v. Vitale, 459 F.3d 190, 197 (2d Cir. 2006) (instructing that district courts should be reluctant "to haul jurors in after they have reached a verdict in order to probe for potential instances of bias, misconduct or extraneous influences."). Any further inquiry into Laterza's (or any other juror's) thought processes throughout jury deliberations would have violated Fed. R. Evid. 606(b),*fn2 which severely restricts post-trial inquiry into a verdict. United States v. Tanner, 483 U.S. 107, 117, 107 S.Ct. 2739, 97 L.Ed.2d 90 (1987); United States v. Briggs, 291 F.3d 958, 963-64 (7th Cir. 2002) (holding that post-verdict allegations of juror intimidation during the deliberative process were not extraneous prejudicial information or an outside influence, thus under Rule 606(b) neither a hearing nor a new trial was warranted); United States v. Muthana, 60 F.3d 1217, 1223 (7th Cir. 1995) ("Juror testimony regarding the jury's deliberations is not admissible to impeach the verdict unless an extraneous influence was alleged to have affected the jury.").
Judge Kennelly properly treated the allegation as an "internal matter," thus keeping the integrity of the jury's deliberations intact. The post-trial interview, in which he determined that Laterza was honest and forthright about her response to Question 19, did not provide him with any reason to conduct further inquiry into the matter. See United States v. Calbas, 821 F.2d 887, 896 (2d Cir. 1987) (holding that the trial court "wisely refrained from allowing the inquiry to become an adversarial evidentiary hearing, so as to minimize intrusion on the jury's deliberations."). Judge Kennelly was under no obligation to ask the specific questions posed by Arreola during the post-verdict voir dire for potential bias, particularly when those questions (as Judge Kennelly noted) would violate Rule 606(b). See id. at 897 (holding that counsel's more active participation in the post-verdict voir dire was not necessary; it was enough that the court permitted counsel to submit proposed questions in advance); see also United States v. Meader, 118 F.3d 876, 878-81 (1st Cir. 1997) (holding that the court has no obligation to ask counsel's specific questions while conducting a post-verdict voir dire of a juror for potential bias).
Arreola also argues that he is entitled to a new trial because Laterza did not give an honest answer on the voir dire questionnaire, contending that Laterza heard other jurors relate previous ankle injuries during voir dire, but remained silent as to her injury. He also believes that Judge Kennelly misapplied the McDonough test because a correct response by Laterza to Question 19 would have provided a valid basis for a challenge for cause under McDonough. In order to obtain a new trial on this basis, a party must show "that a juror failed to answer honestly a material question on voir dire," and, if successful, then must demonstrate that "a correct response would have provided a valid basis for a challenge for cause." Medina, 430 F.3d at 875 (citing McDonough, 464 U.S. at 556, 104 S.Ct. 845). We review the district court's conclusion that Arreola failed to show that Laterza's answer to the voir dire question was not honest for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Reed, 875 F.2d 107, 113 (7th Cir. 1989).
Throughout the pre-trial voir dire, other jurors related incidents in the past in which they or a family member injured an ankle. Presumably Laterza heard their answers, but this does not make her a dishonest person. Question 19, as it is worded, is partially subjective, in that it requires the juror to decide whether a previous ankle injury was a "severe" sprain, or simply a slight injury.*fn3 One woman's severe ankle injury could be another woman's tolerable ankle discomfort. Had she remembered her ankle injury during the pre-trial voir dire, Laterza still could have honestly answered "no" to Question 19 if, in her judgment, the sprain was not severe. While Laterza stated that the injury "hurt a lot," she was still able to go to work the next day and leave for vacation the following day. Judge Kennelly found that at the time she filled out the voir dire questionnaire, she did not recall the injury, but nonetheless affirmed that she would not have regarded it as a severe sprain that would have called for an affirmative answer to Question 19. To invalidate the result of Arreola's trial "because of a juror's mistaken, though honest, response to a question, is to insist on something closer to perfection than our judicial system can be expected to give." McDonough, 464 U.S. at 556, 104 S.Ct. 845. Judge Kennelly did not abuse his discretion in denying the motion for new trial.
Judge Kennelly declined to address the second prong of the McDonough test, as do we, because Laterza was not dishonest in her answers at voir dire. We note, however, that given there were six members of the seated jury that answered "yes" to Question 19, and Arreola withdrew his challenge for cause for two potential jurors with prior experiences with ankle injuries, after they assured the court they would be able to remain impartial, the court presumably would not have granted a challenge for cause if these facts about Laterza's injury came out during the pre-trial voir dire. See Zerka v. Green, 49 F.3d 1181, 1187 (6th Cir. 1995) (holding that, in an excessive force action, despite voir dire admissions by several jurors that they had relationships with police officers, plaintiff's counsel never challenged any of them for cause, thus failing to meet the second prong of the McDonough test).
Arreola was afforded due process protection that he was entitled to and received a fair trial by an impartial jury. Accordingly the district court's denial of Arreola's motion for new trial is AFFIRMED.

text: We had stayed in Villa Alberto (appt. Basilico) as three adults and two babies during one week in July 2013. Apartment condition is high and comfortable. There is a really big patio surrounded all apartment with flowers, sunbads and dinning tables. To stay there and watch sunset is fantastic. Amanda and David is very nice and helpful couple. I highly recommend you to go and stay in Villa Albergo.
