Back to reviewsResort review
The resort is not right on the beach - but across the street from one. In 10 minutes you can get to some of the best beaches on the island including Napili and Kaanapali. The resort is quiet, and familial very unlike the major brands like Hilton and Marriott. There is no restaurant on site, and it feels more like an really nice condo apartment building than a vacation destination resort. Frankly I prefer this - but some might be more impressed with bigger flashier etc. Across the street there is a nice on the beach restaurant at Sands of Kahana which is nice, casual and inexpensive. The hotel unit is not large so if you spend a lot of time in your unit you might not be very happy - but if you do what you should in Maui which is get out of your unit - you will have a great time. There are great restaurants, great beaches - and you can always spend your day at fabulously expensive resort without spending $500/night to stay there.
This is a nice, quiet place. Not good for partying--no restaurant or bar on site, but several within walking distance. Great staff and very comfortable rooms. You'll want to stay in a one-bedroom or two-bedroom, not a "hotel room"/studio, which is tiny. The two bedroom has all the amenities--full sized fridge and well equipped kitchen. Broadband internet included in rooms. We've stayed here twice, in 2009 and 2010. It's a real bargain for what you get. We'll go back!
We are staying in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom lockoff unit. The unit is clean, the kitchen is well equipped, the living room furniture is comfortable, the televisions are modern. There is a washer/dryer in the unit. The bed is "OK". My wife thought it a bit lumpy, I slept just fine. No ocean view, but the grounds are well cared for and sitting on the lanai overlooking the grounds is very pleasant. Jetted bathtub/showers in both bathrooms.
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
They have decent air conditinoing. Not all places in Hawaii have A/C. If that is important to you, check before you commit.
Not all parking spaces are equal. The ones closest to the bulding are about one foot wider (yes, I measured). If you are driving a mini van/SUV, try to get one of those. Parking is free. Not all timeshares in Hawaii have free parking, and sometimes it can be very expensive. Check before you rent.
Free broadband internet in the units.
We would stay again.
Have stayed here twice in the past 10 years. One in a "hotel unit" and once in a studio. Staff is friendly. Property is well maintained. Not on the beach but close to good beaches. Difficult to find parking in Kaanapali if you drive your car to Kaanapali beach. There is VERY LIMITED public parking in Kaanapali. Beach at Kahana (across the street from the resort) is not that great but usually not crowded. Also, parking at the resort can be real tight.
Resort is close to all the sights in and near Lahaina and also close to Kapalua. Of course, you need a car when in Maui.
BEWARE of the "hotel units". These are really "lock-off" bedrooms from the one bedroom units. The "hotel units" are SMALL. And I mean SMALL. Not much bigger than a cruise ship stateroom. Tiny bathroom. And the noise supression (if any) is not too good from the rest of the unit (the non-"lockoff" part). If you rent a hotel room in Maui at a regular hotel you will get a MUCH bigger room! Don't be fooled. I think this "lockoff" stuff is crap and RCI & II should ban it. I don't get to trade just part of my time share units! Maybe if enough people refuse to support it the problem will go away.
Bottom line: I would NOT stay in a "hotel unit" again!
We just got back and they have redone all the Hotel units with nice wood floors. In the hotel unit you get alot of amenites, its like having a mini kitchen with dishes and a toaster, microwave, small refrigerator and Coffee maker. you also get a big bathroom with a steam shower and jetted tub. It is really nice to have the extras over your typical hotel unit. The Resort has a Mai Tai party on Mon. that is not to be missed. They also have lei making classes and hula classes. Its nice to be at a full service resort. I also noticed the towels and housekeeping services are better than most condo's. We loved our stay at Kahana Falls and we will go back soon I hope.
The 1 room lock-offs are so small, there is no way 2 suitcases fit in the unit. The bed was uncomfortable, and the mini fridge and microwave were old and in need of repair. The only redeeming feature is the location.
Great location and the staff is freindly and very helpful. Schedule your trips thru them at a significant discount.
We just came back from our third stay at Kahana Falls. The 2 bedroom lockout is very spacious--perfect for 2 couples. The hotel room by itself is small--but doable. The staff as always was great--very helpful and friendly. We love the lagoon style pool and spa area. There is a beach across from the property and several restaurants-both high end and casual--within walking distance.We love the location-just a short drive to Lahaina and Kaanapali. Our visit to Maui and our stay at Kahana Falls is something we look forward to every year.
We loved the resort, it is very clean and quiet and situated near Lahina. The people who work there are so friendly and accomodating you feel comfortable immediately. We stayed one week in the one bedroom/two bath which sleeps 4 and the nest week in the large 2 bedroom with 2 baths which sleeps 6. The units had been recently renovated and updated. The lagoon pool and kiddie pool are in a garden like setting. The Hot tub is even built into the lagoon area so it looks like a natural pool. We were there two weeks and had no problems at all, until we had to leave the problem was that everyone complained they wanted to stay longer.
Loved Kahana Falls. The two bedroom unit was very comfortable.
But not a big enough pool. It was a problem for our two grandchildren who are 11 and 13. But we were busy most of the time to keep them occupied.
The staff was wonderful and right there when you needed them.
Some great restaurants that were recommened ended up being outstanding.
Kahana Falls is not the most luxurious resort on Maui, but you should have an enjoyable time there.
The unit we stayed in was only about 400 square feet, split off of a full unit with only a bathroom and kitchenette, so we didn't have much motivation to spend a lot of time at the resort.
Laundry facilities were limited, with machines that didn't work too well.
The nearby beach is very nice, but must be accessed by crossing the street and using the public beach nearby.
We stayed in a 2 BR unit here at Thanksgiving in 2000. It's a lovely place, well maintained, and the staff was very responsive. I was initially disappointed that it's not right on the beach, but the beach is so close, it worked out just fine. Maui is a great place to relax and I will definitely stay at Kahana Falls again when I go back there.
Stayed here Oct 8-15, 2005. Smaller resort where you get more personal attention and very relaxed. Pool is smaller than most, but nice. Be very careful of the size of the room you get. If studio, it's very small, less than a hotel room. We had a 1 BR, 1 bath and it was very comfortable.
If I could give it four and a half stars. If it were on the ocean it would be five stars.
Open the windows and take in the sound of the waterfall to put you to sleep at night. Rooms were in wonderfull shape. Very family friendly.
Great service, friendly staff and well maintained units.
1 bd/1 ba unit was nice size - watch out for hotel units which are small.
Fantastic Resort in Maui.
Maui is the best of all the islands!
If it was ocean front it would be a 5 star. Just a short drive to the Gazebo restraunt for a wonderful breakfast. Bought wonderful Hawawian Gold pinapples at the near-by farmers market. A wonderful place to stay.
Haven't stayed here but went through the tour. Beautiful new units. The design includes lockoff units which are pretty much just hotel rooms. Be sure that you know what you're getting.
This was the most relaxing and comfortable place I have stayed. It was conveneint to shopping and dining. The rooms were fantastic. A complete package!

With bad loans in the banking system ballooning, lenders are now looking at using more innovative ways such as big data to tackle the problem. At the two-day retreat held in New Delhi, bankers suggested to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) big data should be used for fraud detection and easier and quicker sharing of information among different lenders to curtail the problem of bad loans in the system.
"At the moment, even though there are ways by which information amongst banks is shared, we are now looking at using big data for risk management and loan recovery purposes. At the Gyan Sangam, we have made a recommendation in this regard to the finance minister," said one of the bankers who was a part of the risk management committee at the retreat.
Several companies in the country, including digital companies and those in IT, retail and FMCG, have been relying on big data for fraud detection and improving productivity. The focus by the banking sector on using big data comes at a time the banking regulator has been nudging public sector banks towards increasing their reliance on technology.
Another banker present at the Gyan Sangam said RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan, in his address to the bankers, had said the lenders should be relying more on technology and digitising their different processes to increase efficiency. Even earlier, the regulator had told banks to make use of technology such as big data for better understanding of consumers. However, banks are now also looking at it to improve the health of the balance sheet.
Apart from this, to tackle the problem of bad loans, banks have also made recommendations to ensure the tightening of the debt recovery tribunal (DRT) to ensure a speedier process. "Currently recovery via the DRT process takes a long time so we have asked for tightening of the norms to make the process efficient," said one of the bankers quoted above.
This comes at a time when the burden of non-performing assets in the banking system is estimated to be around Rs 8 lakh crore.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, at the concluding press conference at the Gyan Sangam, had said to deal with the system of stressed assets, which was at 11.5 per cent of the total assets, the finance ministry is already working on strengthening the DRT rules and is already at an advanced stage.

Dear Facebook,
We get it that you may be worth $100 billion and that your future looks bright. Well, so does email marketing. I know you are busy, but I wanted to share a few metrics to convince you to properly invest in your email marketing efforts:
- Email is the preferred method of commercial communication by 74 percent of all online adults. Source: Merkle
- Nearly two-thirds of companies will increase spending on email marketing, and 57 percent will put more dollars toward social media marketing in 2011. Source: StrongMail
- Facebook is the most commonly used social media site to be integrated into email campaigns, with 80 percent of North American online marketers having used it. Source: Lyris
- Nearly half of daily deal subscribers were excited enough about them that they said they "can't wait" to see the latest deals in the messages. Sources: Yahoo Mail and Ipsos OTX MediaCT
- The vast majority of responding companies (72 percent) rate email as "excellent" or "good" for return on investment. Source: Econsultancy
- Email marketing generated an ROI of $ 42.08 in 2010. Source: DMA
- 63 percent of mobile email users check the account a minimum of once per day. Source: Merkle
- 94 percent of daily email users subscribed to marketing messages. Source: ExactTarget
I can let your COO's comment about email dying pass. I can also acknowledge that email is changing and that your Messages platform is evolving with it. However, email is a huge part of what your 500 million plus members do on your network. You can do better.
You slowly embraced email with a weekly Facebook page update and that was a decent start. Now, that you have launched Deals and are diving into the daily deals space, you really get it that email will be the way for local advertisers to reach your members' inboxes. But guess what? To put it kindly, your email marketing stinks.
In the interest of constructive criticism, I have offered up some advice (Free – ends today!) below on how to get with the program and leverage this most powerful channel, not just use it as a necessary evil.
Creative needs some oomph. Your brand is a global and powerful one. Heck, you had a movie made essentially about it. The emails, though, scream for more and in my humble opinion look like they were developed by a couple of high school dudes in Word doc with an image (clip art of astroturf!) thrown in. Surely, you have the resources and assets to take it to the next level and beyond).
Calls to action. Okay, old school email practices aren't your thing. But these emails cry for more calls to action, maybe another button, and something visually compelling that get people to learn more and take advantage of these offers. Remember, links above the fold will be seen more.
Target. This is necessary for better, more relevant offers. Wait, a minute. Facebook, you know my birthday, where I work, and even what my kids look like. Surely, you can deliver to me some more targeted and customized offers based on this treasure trove of data you keep on me and others, right? Let's use that for good use not just conversations with Congress.
Give some love to the copy and messaging. Not sure how the email, below, would be sharable for sports fans. It also appears you are reusing the same pre-header for very different offers. "Buy a deal, invite your friends, and have new adventures" is pretty lame for a Keith Urban concert, Falcons game, and a local café offer tease.
Add secondary and/or local content. This could be the way to show that you have some skin in the game. This is a localized marketing effort and these emails (Atlanta deals, at least) sure scream that they were created on the left coast without boots (and care) on the ground in Georgia. Rival Scoutmob uses its quirky brand persona to demonstrate its local prowess while LivingSocial provides additional deals as opposed to just one in the event they miss the mark.
I could go on. But let's see what my loyal readers have to offer, too, and see where you take these ideas. Please know I will continue to read these – at least for another week or two as most of the offers prove to be off-target to me and I know you know a lot about me. You have a lot of competition and I want you to realize you have to be good at email marketing for this to work, regardless of your strengths in building community and offering cool functionality.
Yours truly,
Simms Jenkins
Deals subscriber

ATMP – focus on energy savings and improved mechanical fibers
ANDRITZ Advanced TMP (ATMP) technology is the latest in a series of breakthroughs to reduce electric power consumption. The ATMP process is suitable for most softwood species and is outstanding with various pines. It can be implemented in stages during the rebuild of a conventional TMP plant.
Due to its modular design, the ATMP process can be implemented in stages during the rebuild of a conventional TMP (thermo-mechanical pulp) plant. Considerable research has been directed to the fundamentals of wood breakdown – specifically defibration (breaking the chips into fiber bundles) and fibrillation (creating the bonding surfaces) – to reduce the specific energy demand and improve the fiber bonding.
A traditional TMP plant attempts to accomplish defibration and fibrillation in the same primary refiner. The ATMP methodology demonstrates that these two tasks need different conditions in order to succeed. It is better to separate the two steps.
ATMP process description
In the ATMP process, the first stage (RTFibration) is performed in a pressurized Impressafiner and a fiberizer (low specific energy refiner) to delaminate the wood chips into loose structures of fibers. With a large surface area, these bundles are perfect for targeted chemical treatment to attack the secondary fiber walls and improve the bonding characteristics in the next stage (high-intensity RTS refining).
Enhance fiber development – Reduce energy consumption
A 300-800 kWh/t energy saving for a given pulp tensile strength has been confirmed at mills running the combination of chemicals and mechanical treatment alone. The high energy efficiency and pulp quality at lower freeness in the primary stage requires less refining energy in the secondary and/or reject refining stages. Modern mills are using energy-efficient LC refiners which further reduce the specific energy consumption of the entire production line.
- Energy savings from 300–800 kWh/t
- Higher bonding strength
- Higher brightness of unbleached and bleached pulps
- Lowest shive content
- Reduced extractives content
- Applicable for a large variety of softwood species, including spruce and pine
- Significant improvements in pine pulp properties
- Modular system – easy to retrofit
- Excellent economic payback

help! lol
I so need to get motivated. Finally have a day off work and I don't want to do anything, but this house NEEDS to be cleaned. I start a little then I am like I don't want to do this! So I go back and sit down! lol UGH! I have all day tomorrow too, but really want to have something done. How do you all stay motivated?
Comment deleted
eeeww spiders are in my house. Thats a mountain thing I guess and yesterday I had one on my blanket when me and Autumn were on the couch yuck! So ya motivation to clean is important haha
Motivation is hard, but cleaning is important especially if you have spiders like us. Living in the mountains produces dusk and critters yuck!
I find it hard to stay motivated. It gets messed up so quickly and easily and feels like all the cleaning was for naught. There are times when I can't wait until my little ones are older and actually care about a clean house! :) You could always reward yourself with a movie or something if you get all your cleaning done!

Yulin-class gunboat
|Class overview
|People's Liberation Army Navy
|Succeeded by:
|Beihai class gunboat
|General characteristics
|10 tonnes (9.8 long tons; 11 short tons)
|13 m (42 ft 8 in)
|2.9 m (9 ft 6 in)
|1.1 m (3 ft 7 in)
|1 × diesel engine, 300 hp (224 kW), 3 shafts
|20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph)
|2 × 12.7 mm (0.50 in) machine guns (1×2)
Yulin-class gunboats were gunboats of the People's Republic of China's People's Liberation Army Navy. They first entered service in the 1960s, but had been completely taken out of active service by the late 1990s, and were transferred to law enforcement agencies.[1] However, just like the Shantou, Huangpu and Beihai classes that were transferred for law enforcement adaptation, these obsolete and aging boats were not satisfactory in their new roles due to their low maximum speed, sometime as low as 10 knots, which was not sufficient to catch the smugglers' high-speed motorboats. As a result, these boats were subsequently transferred again, this time to reserves, subordinated to naval militia in various Military Maritime Districts in China as training boats and port security and patrol boats within the confines of the harbors.[1] Increasingly, the class is assigned to ferry duties.
Though this class is relatively in better condition than the Shantou, Huangpu and Beihai classes because they are preserved and maintained on land, like the Shantou, Huangpu and Beihai classes, as the new class of port security and patrol boats enters service, the Yulin class is increasingly being converted, mothballed and eventually scrapped.
Just like the Shantou, Huangpu and Beihai classes, many of the surviving units are being converted to target drones controlled by larger boats such as those mentioned, and thus reactivated into active service as minor support auxiliaries. When the drones are in operation, crew departs the boat.

first hammock
Expand Messages
- I finished making my first hammock tonight. I still have to make the fly
and bug net. I only sustained minor injuries and didn't have to go to the
hospital. Darn pins/needles are sharp. LOL
It was definitely a learning experience. It isn't rocket science, but it
definitely takes some skill and practice, practice, practice.
I think I may have made the hammock too deep. I based it on a 4' child, and
the inside is about 6' in length. I made the width about 48". I should
have probably went with 42". I haven't tested it out yet so it is tough to
tell if it is too deep. I will test it tomorrow.
If it is too wide I may be able to put some side ties on it like the HH's
have. Well, I am off to bed.
I will try to post some photos soon.

CANBERRA (AFP) – United Arab Emirates striker Ali Mabkhout scored after 14 seconds in one of the fastest goals in Asian Cup history to propel his side towards a 2-1 win over Bahrain on Thursday.
The Group C victory in Canberra marked the first time UAE had won their opening two matches at the tournament and put them on the verge of qualifying for the quarter-finals.
Omar Abdulrahman chipped a delightful ball over the top of Bahrain's defence and Mabkhout calmly controlled it with his right foot before slotting past goalkeeper Sayed Abbas with his left.
It was Mabkhout's third goal of the Asian Cup after a double in UAE's opening 4-1 win against Qatar Sunday, making him the tournament's top scorer.
Goals have been scored within a minute at the competition before, notably China's Xie Yuxin in 1992 and Kuwaiti Fat'hi Kameil in 1976, but Mabkhout's is one of the quickest on record.
UAE enjoyed more of the ball in the opening stages with midfield wizard Abdulrahman so often the instigator of UAE's attacking play.
But Bahrain gradually came into the match after the shock of conceding so early and always looked dangerous up front through Nigerian-born striker Jaycee Okwunwanne.
The bulldozing targetman — nicknamed "Ronaldo" in some quarters — blazed just over the bar with an audacious overhead kick, before Ahmed Khalil hit the post from close range at the other end.
UAE would rue that miss shortly afterwards when Okwunwanne got his reward for persistent badgering of the defence, scoring with a header at the back post from a corner on 26 minutes.

You want an easy to make treat that is perfect for winter camping & hiking? (And easier than fudge?)
Slowly melt over low heat in a Pyrex bowl suspended over a pan with simmering water in it (double boiler) 16 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunked up.
When melted add in 6 crushed candy canes (put in a gallon storage bag and beat with a heavy pan to crush) and 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract. Stir quickly.
Pour onto a parchment paper lined cookie tray, using a spatula, spread evenly.
Pop in the fridge for a couple hours to set up, then break into pieces.

mmm candy cane bark – you can also mix white and dark chocolate for a marbled effect… or omit the candy canes and instead add an ounce of Amaretto (or a teaspoon of Almond Extract) and some whole toasted almonds and make an almond bark.
Both Sarah's candy cane bark and the almond bark make a nice gift during the holidays. I used to do this when I was getting my university degree because I was broke and I could make a lot of gifts with this for cheap.
My maternal grandmother was a chocolatier and she never put chocolate in the fridge to set as it can pick up flavors from the fridge and it can also cause whitening of the chocolate. This doesn't matter at all if you are making it for the trail but if you decide to do it for a gift then you should let it set at room temperature (65 to 68 F). You should also store chocolate in a cool and dry place.
Other tips: If you don't want to use a double boiler you can melt chocolate nicely in the microwave if you use the defrost cycle (30% power).
If you don't have a double-boiler you can use a glass or stainless bowl placed on top of a pot of water as Sarah has mentioned. When you are using an actual double-boiler or a bowl make sure that the water in the pot beneath does not touch the bottom of the top pot or bowl.
Be very careful that you don't ever get water into the chocolate – not even a drop as it will cause the melted chocolate to be grainy and sometimes lumpy.
Milk and white chocolate will keep for a year at optimum flavor. Dark chocolate you can keep for years without any flavor loss.
Hope that helps.
Fun recipe Sarah!!

35 reviews | 4.1 out of 5
Why I got this product: When I booted my computer, I kept getting an error that said "no bootable device found" and decided it was best to replace the hard drive and re-install the operating system. (New motherboard did not solve this problem for me)
Note: this hard drive does not come with any screws or cables. Only the hard drive itself! Use the screws and cables already in your computer.
1) Opened up the side panel of my desktop PC (make sure PC is powered off and power cables unplugged - you don't want to get shocked!)
2) Unplugged all of the cables going into my old hard drive
3) Unscrewed the mounting unit (case) that contained the hard drive
4) Unscrewed the old hard drive from the mounting unit and replaced it with the NEW hard drive
5) Screwed all of the cables into the NEW hard drive
6) Closed the side panel of the PC and re-plugged the power cables into the computer
7) Booted the computer and inserted a disc of my operating system
8) Installed the operating system on the new hard drive.
Done! Everything works great! Very happy with the product and the price. Hope you like it too
The hard drive arrived on time. I was very excited when I got it because my current hard drive is failing. When I opened the box, I found the hard drive was not in a box from the Western Digital factory. It was in a static bag with plastic supports. There was not any cables, no manual or CD in the box. I have bought hard drives in the past from Seagate that had cables, manuals, and CDs in the box sealed at the Seagate factory. I should have stuck with Seagate, but the Western Digital hard drive had more storage for the price than the Seagate ones sold on walmart.com.
I tried to install the Western Digital hard drive for two days. It would not work on my Compaq Presario. The hard drive had read errors. It took 6 hours to format the hard drive to go with my operating system and it still did not work. I downloaded software from the Western Digital website, but that did not help. I will not purchase another hard drive from walmart.com. When I purchase something for my computer, I want it to be new, sealed in a box from the manufacture.
Had a problem at first getting it online,but I called Western Digital and got step, by step, instruction's from their Tech and got it Online and it, run's great it run's a lot faster than my PATA/IDE 160 Gig Drive. I partitioned it to run Vista and Linux Ubuntu Operating System's, on the same Hardrive and Win 7 Ultimate, so far it run's without a hitch,Great Tech Service and,excellent product.....
I'm using this for my Security system DVR. It's awesome!
This is a good option for the price, only one comment i received the HD without any of these (supplier box, instruction manual, screws and Sata cable)..Fortunately i had all those components in my home.
I was surprised by a previous comment about the lack of mounting screws. Maybe it's just my tower, but I have several plastic "clips" that mount the drives in the bays...no screws needed. Easy install and format. This is enough storage to last two lifetimes for my needs. My computer is really fast now, too, with the larger cache.
Drive came ready to go. Easy to upgrade. However, make sure you have available Sata cables in your machine or you will be making a trip to radio shack for required connector cables. Walmart doesn't carry them in most stores.
Many desktops now need more space because of the amount of applications running at the same time.
This 1TB should take care of all your space hungry software.
I had the 500 gb green drive as my primary drive lasted five years.When it went out I ordered this one no problems yet.
Loaded easily and fixed my hard drive problem
the only disappointment was that Walmart did NOT include the four screws needed to install the drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am using this hard drive as part of a PC build that I have been working on. It is going to be used as an archive/backup drive to my primary solid state drive. It's not the fastest drive out there but for my purposes along with its price, fit my needs perfectly. I was also attracted to its claim of quiet operation and low power consumption. Western Digital has been around since 1970 and has a reputation for making high quality, reliable products. With my own personal experience, I have never had a Western Digital hard drive that failed during its lifetime in my possession.
I installed this drive & installed Windows 7 Ulimatye 32-Bit IS & drive failed within 1 week!!!!!!
Would not purchase another Western Digital 1TB Caviar Green SATA 6Gbps Desktop Hard Drive!!!!!
this hard drive lasted me 1 1/2 years and failed. Lost everything that was not backed up on a thumb drive. DONT BUY GREEN DRIVES
I bought this as my current drive died after 4 years of constant use. I read the reviews and this drive seemed to have the best. I received the drive which was in good shape and packaged well. It did not include the mounting screws or CD drivers but neither one was needed. I simply used my old screws and plugged this drive in. Using my factory computer reboot disc this drive was installed with zero problems and I was up in running in a short time. Overall, good product for little cost!
it came already failing .started to put windows on the HD and it sounded like a train.my failing HD did not sound this bad .great thing is that I can take it back today for a refund. just to let you know I have put many HD in computers .so I know it is not my error it was just a bad egg.
computer would not recognize the hard drive and it would not show up in my computer. After trying different jumper settings, and some angry words I remembered that the hard drive may not be formatted. after I formatted it and left off the jumpers it was easy as pie. Works well and am happy with it
I needed a quality HDD for a recently purchased home video security system. The Western Digital "Green" was recommended by the DVR manufacturer. Was simple to install in the DVR and works great. Great price @ $53.00 and free shipping. Too bad it took Walmart so long to ship.
I have been in the IT industry for 30 years and once again Western Digital has become the standard drive for me. I still have some very old WD's that are fully functional without error. Can't go wrong with a Western Digital drive.
It came as promised and was installed and works great!

I am very sorry that we have not met your living experience. Please contact the Leasing Office at your earliest convenience so I can setup a time to meet with you to go over any issues you may have. Property Manager
The space and layout of these apartments are great! However, the quality is not. It's time for a makeover, esp Read Moreecially in the kitchen and bathrooms. The leasing staff are very courteous when touring the community and applying for residency, but that all changes once they take your deposit. I selected an apartment and put a deposit on it to hold it, but as it came time to move in (a week before actually) I received a call that I would not be moving into that unit and instead given a unit that was comparable. No biggie, things happen right, well 3 days before moving in I was informed that this unit was no longer available and I will now be going into another unit which was totally opposite of what I had expressed I originally wanted. Here it is crunch time so I had to roll with the punches as I had nowhere else to go. After a year I decided to renew my lease but I requested a larger unit as my family was growing in size. The unit size was great and the transfer process was even better! But of course it couldn't be so simple. I was offered a move in date that was great as it was a few weeks before I was planning to deliver and it gave me enough time to get things in order before the baby arrives. Unfortunately, I received the call again that my unit would not be ready and instead would be a week later. And then a week later became 2 weeks later, which then became a month later. Obviously I'm extremely frustrated as I have had to reschedule my moving crew 3 times. Things may not have been so bad if I had moved into a brand new apartment since it took so long to prepare or even if I was offered some type of courtesy toward rent, but of course that would be too much like right. This unit is even more raggedy than the first, but I will say it's definitely larger. Needless to say Bonnie Ridge has been a pain in my behind... this will be my last lease. Hopefully those whom I referred are having a much better experience.

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
At Children's Hospital Boston, our care is informed by our research, and our discoveries in the lab strengthen the care we provide at each child's bedside. In fact, Children's scientific research program is one of the largest and most active of any pediatric hospital in the world.
Currently, there is no way to identify living infants at risk of SIDS. But the development of such a test is a major goal of SIDS research at Children's.
Among Children's research projects that hold promise for preventing SIDS is research into a neurochemical abnormality in the brainstem that may be responsible for the failure of protective breathing, heart and arousal responses that are thought to be responsible for SIDS. Recent autopsy data provide the strongest evidence yet that sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) has a concrete biological basis. Children's neuropathologist Hannah Kinney, MD, and colleagues have found that babies who die from SIDS have abnormalities in the brainstem, the part of the brain that controls breathing; that responds to re-breathing too much carbon dioxide; and that regulates blood pressure and body temperature—all of which are important in sleeping and waking.
Our researchers found that the brainstems of SIDS infants have lower levels of the neurochemical serotonin and a signaling protein called 14-3-3. They also had significantly fewer receptors for serotonin and another neurochemical gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA). These abnormalities are thought to prevent SIDS infants from properly controlling the vital functions that keep them alive and ultimately to lead to their death.
Dr Kinney and colleagues are currently working towards a means of identifying those infants who are at increased risk of SIDS, with the ultimate goal of developing a treatment that will protect them from SIDS.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

Source: New York Times, Feb. 7, 2005, based on Budget of the United States FY2007. 2 Synecdoche & Policy Why is it a powerful political strategy? – Mislead the masses. Horror story & worse case mentality. – Organizing tool . – Mobilizes anger. – Reduces scope of an issue (more manageable). suddenly becomes prototype and not the entire issue. 16 3 Metaphors Type of implied comparison. Using a word that denotes a certain thing to describe another. Every policy metaphor contains assumption that if a is like b, then you would solve both a and b the same way. Once sensitized, can be found everywhere. 17 3 Metaphor: Types Social institutions as "living organisms" "Wedges and incline" "Containers" Natural laws as "unintended rewards" War "Machines and mechanical devices" "Disease"" 18 3 Metaphor: Why do Language and Symbols Matter? Names and labels. Strategic problem definition. Symbolic devices. Metaphors so often go unnoticed because they are a part of our cultural way. 19 Examples of Metaphors ''If this keeps up, eventually these hospitals will not be state of the art.'' (New York Times, Jeff Holtz, Jan. 7, 2007) "This year will be "make or break" for the NHS, according to a report out today." (Northern Echo, Nick Bosanquet, Jan. 2, 2007) "Shift in Congress Puts Health Care Back on the Table; Expecting a Mixed Reaction Across the Aisle, Democrats Plan to Offer Ideas on Drug Cost, Safety" (The Washington Post, Christopher Lee, Dec. 25, 2006) 20 Why are Metaphors important? 4 Ambiguity "The most important feature of all symbols, both in art and in politics." 22 4 Ambiguity Define – Ability of statements, events and experiences to have >1meaning. "Glue" of politics. Agreements Possible – Allows people to agree on laws and policies because they can read various meanings into words. 23 4 Ambiguity : Context The context in which you find a symbol can determine its meaning. 24 4 Ambiguity Politics: Science or art? (if you show this diagram to different scientists around the world they would all conclude its an atom.) 25 4 Ambiguity Why is it essential in politics? Multiple interpretations possible. Makes it possible to reach a compromises. Leaders can gain support from different types of people. 26 4 Ambiguity Why is it essential in politics? People that have different policies in mind can be grouped in one. Brings people, who support policies for different reasons, together. (environmentalists and salesman). 27 4 Ambiguity Why is it essential in politics? May avoid conflict by passing an ambiguous statute and letting others deal with the controversial aspects. May solve conflict between two parties by "giving rhetoric to one side and the decision to the other." May help when individuals are indecisive about supporting a leader. When individuals hold contradictory views, eg. on welfare, politicians can focus on the ambiguous symbol and not on the actual practice. 28 4 Ambiguity Why is it essential in politics? Think about the following: Who would You give welfare to? 29 Have a Great Gator Day! Are there any questions? 30

If you loved The Hangover and adored The Bucket List, you may just look fondly on Last Vegas, Jon Turteltaub's indulgent, high-concept comedy about a band of ageing bulls living it large in Sin City. Here is a film with scotch on its breath and Viagra in its breast pocket; a series of artificial highs en route to the maudlin final clinch. In fits and starts I rather enjoyed it.
Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline play the faded Brooklyn buddies who reunite to celebrate the forthcoming wedding of their former ringleader (Michael Douglas). "This is the first bachelor party that could be covered by Medicaid," they remark as they weave through the deodorised fantasy land of modern-day Vegas, whistling at the girls by the pool and guzzling alcohol from the breasts of an attractive ice sculpture. The loins are willing but the flesh is weak. The erstwhile members of the "Flatbush Four" have all seen better days and their wild weekend stirs up old resentments.
Back in the old neighbourhood, the wolfish Billy (Douglas) and the stoical Paddy (De Niro) went to war over a girl and the outcome still rankles. Besides which, what does Billy think he's doing, marrying a girl who's less than half his age? The man is in crisis; he needs to grow up. Douglas does a nice job communicating the pathos behind the orange tan and gleaming teeth.
In the meantime, Turteltaub takes the Flatbush Four and sends them off through the revels in search of life lessons. His handling is so breezy as to gloss over the improbabilities of the dunderheaded, macho plotline. Why, for instance, do the nubile women of Las Vegas greet these shuffling geezers with such a salivating display of excitement? One can only assume that they must all be sex workers touting for business, although the film never remotely addresses this possibility. In any case, I was left with the impression that the real pros in this film are the four men at its centre. De Niro, Douglas, Freeman and Kline set about Last Vegas with the panache ofa lifetime's experience. They laugh and they cry; they squabble and make up. They're counterfeiting emotion, faking their roles for all that they're worth. But they do it with such grace that they convince us it's real.

Brockway PA
The Marcellus Shale is the largest natural gas development in North America
Marcellus Deposit Outlined in Blue
barium (toxic heavy metal) 6,500 mg/l
calcium18,000 mg/l
chloride116,900 mg/l
iron 60 mg/l
magnesium1,300 mg/l
sodium 48,000 mg/l
strontium4,000 mg/l
dissolved solids195,000 mg/l
total hardness as CaCO354,500 mg/l
suspended solids1,200 mg/l
ProChemTech International, Inc. has
developed a sequential precipitation fractional crystallization technology that converts Marcellus shale wastewaters into salable commodities
Step 1 - Clarification
As flowback and production wastewaters are delivered to the treatment facility, they are treated by passage through a free oil and solids separator, inclined plate clarifier, as delivered. Clarified wastewater is then pumped to an aerated chemical equalization tank.
Tank capacity is set to equal daily system throughput.
Under the specific conditions of pH and
ORP obtained in the step 2 chemical
additions, barium is completely precipitated
as a commercial purity barium sulfate.
Iron, manganese, and radioactives present
are also removed and incorporated into the
Radioactivity level of the barium sulfate
is equal to commercial barite samples
Note: Our first barium sulfate system was designed and built in 1990 for MuRata Electronics
Step 4 - Strontium Recovery
Optionally, strontium can be recovered from the barium stripped wastewater by addition of sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, and anionic polymer under defined conditions to precipitate strontium sulfate. The strontium sulfate is then removed by an inclined plate clarifier, dewatered, and dried as the barium sulfate.
Step 6 Sodium Chloride Purification
Late News Flash
The Program Committee of the International Water Conference has accepted the paper by Timothy Keister titled "Sequential Precipitation - Fractional Crystallization Treatment of Marcellus Shale Flowback and Production Wastewaters" for presentation at the 73 rd Annual International Water Conference, San Antonio, TX, November, 2012

Flashspun fabric
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flashspun fabric is a nonwoven fabric formed from fine fibrillation of a film by the rapid evaporation of solvent and subsequent bonding during extrusion.
A pressurised solution of, for example, HDPE or polypropylene in a solvent such as fluoroform is heated, pressurised and pumped through a hole into a chamber. When the solution is allowed to expand rapidly through the hole the solvent evaporates to leave a highly oriented non-woven network of filaments.[1][2]

I have been told some information about the Jamaica Planter which was sunk off the Port of Barry, but cannot remember all the details. Is anyone able to help me? My father-in-law was aboard her on the two occasions she came in to the Port to be repaired. He was discharged from her company before she was holed the third time, thus surviving to marry and father five children, four of whom survive him!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Cat Chat' started by dom85, Jul 15, 2011.
I'm thinking of buying one of these and just wondering how often you have to change the filters?
I think they say monthly but to be honest I have taken the filter out of mine, I change the water every other day so can't really see much point in it.
I tried a Cat Mate fountain but my cats didn't like it. It's more of a 'waterfall' into a bowl than an actual fountain.
I currently have the 'Catit' fountain (in pink ). This is much more of a fountain, where the cats only get to drink moving water, there is no bowl part available to them.
It probably depends on the cat tbh but my 4 love the one i have
Catit Fresh Clear Small Drinking Fountain 50053 Cat Drinking Fountains for Sale
What is the point of having the filter then? I thought that changing the water was a daily job anyway
Does it keep water cool(-er) than if we left it in the water bowl?
it keeps the water fresher - the filter is only very necessary if you have hard/chlorine heavy water I find
I took it out of mine but before that I changed once a week cos my dog shared the fountain and he drooled - ick - slimed up the filter.
you can refil the filters to save money - a clean scouring pad and some aquarium filter charcoal!
Hmm, the catit one seems to have mixed reviews.
I do live in a hard water area though so I prefer the idea of re-filling them, thanks IndysMamma
I'm waiting for delivery of that very fountain.Hope I dont hear anything bad.I did post a thread and the results seemed positive.
I have a catit one and it's great. I chose it over the 'waterfall' style ones as there was less potential for my kitten to make a mess by batting the water everywhere!
One of the best things I have bought for him by far he drinks loads more now and I am constantly having to top it up in between cleanings for him.
Really great and minimal noise too compared to my friends' cats drinkwell fountain.
I am very happy with the Catmate fountain. Hard water can be an issue though with scale building up and attracting dirt....I have found that cleaning the whole unit thoroughly with a micro-fibre cloth sorts this issue out without scratching the plastic surface.
Indysmamma....can you provide a link to the aquarium charcoal you use so I know I get the right stuff?
That would be useful IndysMamma, do you use the carbon granules or the pads? My brother uses a clean scouring pad and the granules I think in his fish tank but does that work in the fountain?
I don't a link for it - I buy it by the scoop from a local aquarium store. It's just 'Activated Charcoal Granules' - looks like gravel.
Thank you, I'll nick some off of my brother then
Thanks, I will look out for that!

Cooking Christmas By Myself
Essay by: HonestlyEvil
Status: Finished
Genre: Non-Fiction
Ok so this is my first year cooking Christmas dinner. I have no idea how to do it. I mean I'm a mother so I know that this is one of the things that I should know how to do but I'll be honest I've no idea what I'm doing. I'm twenty-six now. I should be able to cook a simple Christmas dinner in my own home with my children. That's the plan for this year's dinner. My two children, myself, our springer spaniel, and possibly my parent's terrier. I have spent nearly all my twenty-six years watching my mother turn out Christmas dinner after Christmas dinner. Really how hard can it be? I'm fecking terrified.
To start I've got to go and buy a turkey. Do I buy fresh or frozen? Is there a difference? Is there a difference between buying fresh at the supermarket and fresh at the butchers? Do I buy a whole turkey or part of a turkey? These are all questions to be considered. But it's once I get the fecker home that the problems really begin. How do I cook the thing?! I asked my Dad for his advice since I'm quietly (or not so quietly) freaking about this whole thing. Dad says I, I'm going to cook Christmas dinner in my own house this year. Grand, says he, me and your mother will go to your aunts house. Great you'll enjoy that. That will be nice, says I, one question though. How do I cook a turkey? And Dad, being the most supportive person in the world and understanding completely how nerve wracking this is for me, looks at me and says 'in the oven'. I'm not that fecking stupid. I know I need to put it in the oven. But for how long and at what temperature? What the hell am I meant to do with this dead bird?!!
So to calm myself down I got up the google website and typed in 'how to cook a turkey'. I was a child in the nineties, my first reaction when faced with a problem is to check the internet (it's also my first reaction when told something which may or may not be true, check the internet, if the internet says it's true then it must be). Google brought up an astonishing number of websites for me to look at. Thank you, Google. I first clicked on one with the heading 'how to roast the best turkey ever'. That sounded promising. It seemed very easy and came with a handy guide on calculating how long it would need to stay in the oven. The second link claimed it could teach me 'how to make the best Christmas dinner'. That's exactly what I need because as you'll see it's not just the turkey that scares me. It's the entire fucking thing! Unfortunately website number two has slightly different advice and a completely different handy guide on calculating oven time than website number one. Onto website number three: 'how to cook the best Thanksgiving turkey ever'. Well, a turkey is a turkey. It was also telling me slightly different things.
Stuff the turkey. Don't stuff the turkey. Only stuff the neck. Put things in the cavity. Don't put things in the cavity. Only stuff the turkey if you have a specific type of oven. Don't stuff the turkey if you have that specific type of oven. Make your own stuffing. Don't make your own stuffing. Cook the stuffing separately. Don't cook the stuffing separately. Wash the turkey. Don't wash the turkey. Is it any wonder I've no notion what I'm doing?!!
And then there's all the stuff that goes along with the turkey. Vegetables and sausages and sauces and extra stuff. It's all these extra things that confuse me. Apparently I'm meant to do mashed potatoes and roast potatoes, carrots and broccoli and Brussels sprouts even though nobody will eat them. And cranberry sauce to go with something. The turkey? Is it the turkey that cranberry sauce goes with? And a ham? Having a ham is a thing. It's one of those traditional Christmas things. You know turkey and ham for Christmas dinner. Am I not having enough fecking difficulty with the turkey without bringing a pig into it too? I've no notion how to cook a ham. Do you boil it? And gravy and little sausages which if left unattended will be scoffed by my daughter because she is obsessed with cocktail sausages. I'm serious. If you leave her alone with those things she will practically inhale them. And Yorkshire puddings, although I'll admit I already know I'm going to cheat with those and buy pre made ones.
Then once I get the main course out of the way, and yes I've still to panic about the starter, then there's desert. It's a problem because I hate Christmas pudding. I detest it. My kids don't eat it either. So there's the problem of what to get for desert. Yule log, maybe? With ice cream? I don't know. I do know that we've got to have a cake but I hate Christmas cake too. I think I'll just buy one of those nicely iced Christmas themed chocolate cakes.
Ok so starters. Is prawn cocktail Christmassy? Probably not. I could do soup. Maybe. Or a small smoked salmon salad. Or something. I sense many hours of surfing recipe websites in my future. Oh Jesus, I'm going to have to make a schedule. I have young children who are even now over the top excited about Santa. This means that I will be up at the crack of dawn listening to squeals of excitement (this is good) and trying to fit roughly 10 metres of wrapping paper into a bin bag as it is torn from nicely wrapped presents and scattered around my living room (this is not so good). I've also got to go to church. I don't go much. Ok I don't go ever, but I try to make an effort on Christmas day. After that I've then got to attempt to cook a meal I've never even come close to trying to cook before.
I'm serious. I've never even helped my mother with it. If we tried to help we were hunted out of the kitchen and told to go away and sit down and stop getting under her feet. I've never even stood in the same room while she made Christmas dinner. Neither I nor my little brother have the faintest idea how she makes it. We just eat it and then spend all afternoon lying around like beached whales – too full to move.
I'm going to need an army like schedule. Or stay up to a ridiculous time the night before getting stuff ready. Except I'll be up anyway wrapping presents and stowing them safely under the tree. This would be the tree that I haven't got up and decorated yet. Actually this would be the tree I haven't even got yet. I definitely need a schedule made.
And so this is my first year cooking Christmas dinner for four possibly five (the two dogs are counted as one person and my boyfriend may be joining us as well) and I'm absolutely terrified. But I'm determined. I will have Christmas dinner in my own house even if it kills me. Which I suspect it probably will.

What I did
Just visiting
I sat at breakfast with 3 girls from Switzerland. We started to talk and I told them that I had the intention of going on a walk in town. "Go first talk to the manager, because it is really not safe to go by yourself in town" They told me.
So I did and effectively he admitted. He proposed to go together with 3 peoples from Israel. The idea of going to town like a real tourist, following his instruction what and when I have to see something, is not directly my cup of tea, but because I did not know better or anything in town ... I did.
One guide and four tourists. We went off course to the classic tourist places, but at the end of the morning we went to a local market and have eaten the street food.
Luckily that we had a guide or otherwise I never dared to eat that kind of food. I don't know what we eat but it was ok. And the price ... almost 1 euro.
It was very nice to meet these 3 people. We had a lovely day and for the evening we even decided to cook together.

Once we came back down, we were in Aspen and it was 1pm so we decided to have a late lunch. Whilst driving around to find parking, Darren glimpsed down a street and saw a bear!! I guess it's not too uncommon to have bears around but by the time we could turn around safely, it was long gone.

Aspen reminded me a bit of Banff, cute little ski/snowboard town with lots of hikes in the summer.
Unfortunately, I did not realize how high up Aspen is (2400m above sea level) and once we started our hike at Maroon Bells, I felt quite dizzy and tired. Turns out I must have had some sort of altitude sickness at 3000m above sea level... That happened on our hike in Santa Fe as well.. well, now I know :)
I recovered quickly and finished the hike at least...

On the way back, we took what we thought was a short cut, but it turned out to be a long cut--we did see some new country. We were glad to get back on a paved road!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - With a son on the way and a new album with more original songs than ever, Michael Buble is venturing into uncharted territory without letting go of his personal or artistic roots.
"To Be Loved," the 37-year-old Canadian singer's follow-up to his 2011 "Christmas" album, mixes standards inspired by jazz, Motown and even the Bee Gees, with tracks written by Buble as well as collaborations with Bryan Adams and Reese Witherspoon.
"I wanted everything to be soulful," Buble told Reuters.
The album grabbed the top spot on the U.K. Billboard chart the week of its April 15 release there, and is poised to take the top U.S. spot after debuting stateside this week.
Buble said that he was inspired to write more of his own songs such as the single "It's a Beautiful Day" after receiving a positive response to previous originals like "Haven't Met You Yet" and "Home."
Still, he remains committed to the classics that first made him famous.
"I love writing songs, but the truth is I love doing thoughtful, great covers too," he said. "It'll never get to a point where I have a record that comes out of all originals."
"To Be Loved" has received mostly positive reviews especially for the classic tracks, though a few critics found the album uneven. Buble said that his most important reviews come from his fans. Continued...
