The greatest boxer of all time Muhammad Ali on The Arsenio Hall show in 1989. Arsenio then brings out my favorite boxer of all time Mike Tyson and it's interesting to see Ali's reaction and respect for Tyson. Iron Mike was the Lebron James of the boxing world around this time, it's scary how hard he punched people. Arsenio asks Ali the classic question; if both fighters were in their prime, who would win. Ali being modest, gives it up to Tyson; but even as a Tyson fan I don't know about that one. Ali took major punches in his career, but then again never fought a pit bull style fighter like Tyson. Tyson never fought a fighter smarter than Ali. Not to mention that quick and elusive.
While we're on Ali. Hate the way Bryant Gumble is talking to him on this interview. Handles it like he handled boxing and Parkinson's though; like a champ

BBL Here I Come... - Aventura, FL
So, recently in March I had a tummy tuck and BBL, however the tummy tuck results are pretty good but the BBL didn't really do much. I believe my doctor was afraid to be aggressive with the fat transfer because he said the tummy tuck was a pretty big procedure. However, he still took my money for both operations! Anyhow, after researching further I've decided to go see the famous Dr. Salama!... READ MORE

Thx! :) READ COMMENT
I highly recommend Dr Salama, trust me it is a hassle to go out of state but it's def worth it. I'm sure he can give you the results you want, he did exactly what I asked him to do, but unfortunately now I wish I had asked for some... READ COMMENT
Wow your 3 months to 9 months photo is amazing! You're results look great. I'm only 9 weeks po, and I feel like my booty could be better and am considering round 2 already smh :( But how long did it take for your "fluff" and what... READ COMMENT
Yes I loved Dr. Salama and his whole team. I wish I would've went to him the first time. If your stomach isn't big than I would opt out the tt, cause the scar isn't worth it. READ COMMENT
Thx, but it was better :( READ COMMENT

Bob Schneider
Schneider's musical approach as a solo artist proved to be as eclectic as the diverse musical styles of his former bands, combining the traditional singer/songwriter aesthetic with elements of funk, country, rock, and folk. His scruffy good looks and strong, husky voice attracted some attention, too, but it was Schneider's music -- redolent of '70s icons from Neil Young to Paul Simon, with a slightly more modern sensibility reminiscent of Beck and edgy lyrics about alienation, drug addiction, and lost romance -- that maintained his high profile around Austin. He began courting a national fan base with 2001's Lonelyland, his major-label debut for Universal Records, and followed its release with 2004's I'm Good Now. Schneider left Universal later that year and moved over to Vanguard; meanwhile, he continued to release albums by various "side projects" via his own label, Shockorama Records. Most of those side projects would be re-released by Vanguard, as was another proper solo album, 2006's The Californian. Continuing to release material at a rapid rate, Schneider issued When the Sun Breaks Down on the Moon in 2007, Lovely Creatures in 2009, and A Perfect Day in 2011. ~ Mary Grady

Go to Mathematica's preferences and click on the evaluation tab.
Once there uncheck the box next to Show In/Out names. With this
box unchecked, you will be able to click on the sidebar, use
"save selection as" and not get the "Out[xx]=".

"Amber was easy to work with (with me) before and the day of my wedding. Unfortunately my photograher claimed that she was somewhat difficult the day of to work with (I guess she got in his way at times I never noticed). My husband and I paid $2400.00 for about 8 hours of shooting. I recently reviewed my wedding highlights video wich was just a quick clip of my day which i thought came out great. However after receiving my finsihed video in the mail and after watching it I was terribly dissapointed as well as my husband. My video was only (1) hour long and several things i felt were not captured in my video. I don't feel that (1) hour of footage was reasonable for the amount of money that we spent and I dont understand why certain things were not in my footage. I discussed my concern with the owner and she doesn't understand why I would expect my video to be longer than an hour. She said she would try to work with me but that she cannot produce a video with footage that she does not have. I don't know why se wouldn;t have certain footage, as I did pay her to videotape all the footage. Extremely unhappy and all I can say is thank god for my amazing photographer who captured every moment. Absolutely nothing was missed in my pictures which means alot because at least I can look back at my photos to bring back the memories of my wedding day. Thank you Nobrega's Photo Studio!"

I have been wondering why I decided to say out loud "I am not buying clothes for a year"… and truth be told I am still searching for the right answer. I have come up with a few reasons though:
- I have gained weight and have to have some type of incentive to get back into my old wardrobe…which is quite nice by the way
- I do not throw clothes away until they are beyond worn and this will give me an opportunity to get rid of some
- I have way more t-shirts than any reasonable person should
- I am crazy
I am going to address these things one by one, so here goes.
1. I have gained weight and need incentive. You hear people say (Stacey and Clinton) "dress for the size you are now, not the size you want to be or used to be". This is something I strive to do…but since leaving my job in January have gained about 25lbs. How can I dress the size I am now when I got rid of all my "fat" clothes the last time I lost this weight. I have lost these same pounds a few times so I have experience in this category. I REFUSE to buy more clothes in a bigger size.
Yesterday was "rock bottom". I put on a cute outfit and went to go put on my black dress boots..no go people. For the first time in my life my shoes did not fit because I was too fat. What the hell! My calves can not "suck it in" like the rest of me can. I told the hubby I had hit rock bottom, I had had it! He of course curtailed my impending rant with humor…gotta love him!
The lack of ability to lose this weight again has caused me to have very little to wear. You will find out more about that as time goes on I'm sure.
2. I do not throw clothes away…why would I? They have holes in or are stained from forgetting my Bert's bee's in my jeans and then wash and dry them…nah!!! You have to wear them out. It is easier for me to throw all other things out but not my clothes…even if they are wearing thin! I have four casualties at home that need to be thrown. They are laying on the floor of my laundry room, ready for pictures so I have proof they are in a bad way and need to be thrown.
3. The t-shirt thing….the hubby has waaaay more than I do but I have a lot of them. Again, some of them do not even fit due to the 25+ lbs I currently have. I can not throw them away though. I feel like I have to get use out of them. Most of them I did not even pay for. Swag is an amazing thing…Pokerstars and PokerXfactor have no clue how much advertising I do for them, wearing their tshirts around the community center. Lots of advertising they get from me.
4. I am crazy. I knew that already and so did my closest (and not so closest) friends. I am not crazy like I need to be institutionalized crazy. Just a little crazy.
So I am continuing on this journey and have already realized that I have to buy a pair of black pants that fit (photographing a wedding and coordinating another) and a pair of basic black shoes. I already feel guilt for knowing I have to do it but since my black dress capris do not fit and the calves will not suck themselves into the boots I have no choice.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/2/2013 (1594 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Brandon's arenas will be flooded with scouts this weekend, but the coach of the Bantam AAA Wheat Kings said that's not something his team will be concerned about.
The Wheat Kings will enjoy the luxury of home ice at the Hockey Manitoba Bantam AAA Showcase, being held in conjunction with the second week of the Brandon Tournament of Champions.
The Showcase events give top bantam players in the province exposure to one another and to junior hockey scouts. Kyle Prystupa of Hockey Manitoba estimates there could be 40-50 Western Hockey League scouts here plus reps from the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, but Wheat Kings head coach Dennis McNish said with his squad playing regularly in the Winnipeg AAA Bantam Hockey League, there is no special emphasis on that side of the tournament for his players.
"We don't put any weight on ourselves being scouted at all," said McNish, whose team is 11-17-2 in the Winnipeg league, but 8-3 since the Christmas break. "We play in a AAA Bantam league, the kids have all been seen numerous times by tons of scouts and being scouted is no different from what we've been used to all year and that should be the same for every team coming.
"We're just going to approach every game like we would a regular-season game where we're going to try and do our best and improve and win the game at the same time."
The festivities start today in the Bantam AA category — the final competition that falls under the Tournament of Champions banner — with Brandon facing the Virden Oil Kings at the Sportsplex at 10 a.m. The Showcase begins with a single girls' Bantam AAA game today as Westman South faces Yellowhead at Optimist Arena at 7 p.m. The boys' Bantam AAA Showcase follows on Friday with the Wheat Kings and Southwest Cougars first up at the Optimist Arena at 11 a.m.
Brandon scoring leader Connor Gutenberg is only a first-year bantam and not old enough to be chosen in the junior drafts until next year, but Wheat Kings Chipper Osiname and Ty Lewis are talented forwards who should catch scouts' eyes. Morgan Geekie of the Yellowhead Chiefs and Jermaine Loewen of the Interlake Warriors are among the Winnipeg league scoring leaders and will draw interest as well.
The event won't include some of the province's top draft prospects with no Winnipeg teams competing and bantam-aged snipers like Tanner Kaspick of Brandon and Brett Howden of Oakbank already playing midget hockey, but there will be some out-of-province representation in the form of a Northwestern Ontario team plus Notre Dame out of Saskatchewan and Calgary's Edge Hockey Academy.
"We've seen the Northwestern Ontario team; they were out at the last Showcase and they fit right in with the calibre of the rural teams in the province here," McNish said. "I think the two teams from out west … are going to be real strong teams and every team that gets a chance to play them is going to have a real challenge on their hands. I hope we do get to play against one of those teams for sure, because it's always best to compete against the best, so hopefully we get that opportunity."
The Bantam AA event will be the first to wrap up, with the final set for Saturday at noon at Westman Place. The girls' Showcase will conclude with an all-star game on Sunday at Westman Place at 3 p.m., with the boys' Showcase holding an all-star game Sunday at 7:15 p.m., also at Westman, followed by a full slate of "flex scheduling" games on Monday, with the matchups to be set on Sunday night.

The humans and my doggy momma both say that I am now famous! What is famous? Am I supposed to feel different now that I am famous? I don't feel any different.
The humans and momma say that I am famous because there was a beautiful picture of me in color in the Florida Times Union yesterday. They say that I made the front page of the metro section!
This is how it happened- On Sunday, the humans took me, my momma Angel, and my Auntie Raven to Yappy Hour. Yappy Hour is a monthly event where the humans can bring their fur babies to the Jacksonville Landing for some fun! At Yappy Hour they have raffle drawings, live music, drinks for doggies and their owners, different booths for the owners to stop by and contests. On Sunday, it was the annual king/queen contest meaning all of us doggies got to walk down the runway and be judged by a panel of judges. Then, there was one queen and one king that would be chosen for year.
Of course the humans dressed me up along with my momma and Raven, and we all got to walk down the runway and show off for the judges and the many photographers that were taking pictures of all us dogs! One of the photographers was from the newspaper and got a picture of me acting all pretty and showing off for everyone to see. The next morning 5/23, that picture was on the front section of the metro page! So now, they all say that I am famous!!!!
Here is a link to the write-up about Yappy Hour and my picture. I am the adorable one wearing the pink dress. The article even mentions my Auntie Raven in it!!!
http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/2011-05-23/story /dogs-revel-sunlight-jacksonville-landings-yappy-hour-crowni ng
So, I heard about this really cool contest, and I just had to enter it!!!!
If it weren't for this thing called adoption, I probably would not be here today, and neither would my mommy. My mommy and I are sort of like... a package deal for our new owners, and thank dog they are up to the challenge!
This is the true story of how adoption has not only changed my life, but created my life:
My mommy is a wonderful doggie momma named Angel. I am very lucky to have such a wonderful doggie momma. My momma used to live with an older couple and had been living with them for a couple of years. Last summer, the couple found out that they lost their house and were going to have to move. The place where they were moving to did not allow dogs, so that meant my momma could not go with them.
The couple searched around, and found my human mommy and daddy. They said they would love to take Angel, and that is exactly what they did! But my story does not end there because I'm not here yet! Here is what happened-
My human parents did not realize that my doggie momma, Angel was not spayed. About a month after she had been living with them, Angel started gaining some weight. They took Angel to the vet and found out she was pregnant. My humans could have had Angel's pregnancy terminated, but they said it was meant to be, so they got a lot of information on dog pregnancy and started monitoring Angel and preparing for our birth.
Mommy went into labor with me and my siblings on January 24th, 2011. The humans could tell that something was not quite right with the labor, so they rushed Angel to an emergency vet. It turns out that one of my siblings (the one that did not make it) was stuck in mommy's birth canal. My mommy had to have an emergency c-section. Me and my brother were born on January 25, 2011, and the vet said that we were healthy and adorable!!! Now I can't argue with that statement.
Well, here it is in the beginning of May, and I am doing great! If the humans had not been willing to take my momma Angel in, Angel would have had to go to the pound, and who knows what would have happened. If the humans had not rushed Angel to the emergency vet when they realized there was something wrong with the labor, all of us would have died including mommy. So as you can see, my humans are wonderful! They are caring, kind, and I know they love me and mommy Angel very very much. They even made sure that my brother went to a wonderful and loving home where he will be spoiled for the rest of his life. Thank dog for humans and adoption!!!!!

Missoula lawmakers today moved one step closer to making it a crime for motorists suspected of driving under the influence to refuse a law enforcement officer's request to submit to alcohol or drug testing.
As it stands now, refusing to perform a sobriety test is a civil offense, punishable by six-month suspension of one's drivers license. If the ordinance passes council muster after a public hearing slated for March 8, refusal to submit to alcohol or drug testing would become a misdemeanor within city limits punishable by a $300 fine.
That "hopefully provides an incentive for folks before jumping in their car, driving and refusing the test," said City Councilman Dave Strohmaier during Wednesday's Public Health and Safety Committee meeting.
In Missoula, nearly 41 percent of people stopped for drunk driving refuse to submit to drug or alcohol testing. And it's tough to prosecute people with no physical evidence, said Missoula Police Chief Mark Muir. "We're in support of councilman Strohmaier's referral," Muir added.
Others, though, voiced concern the proposal has not been sufficiently fleshed out and might not fly under Montana's Constitution, which includes strict protections on police searches.
"I know we're going to get sued for this," said City Councilman Jon Wilkins.
And, if so, he wondered, who will cover costs of defending a lawsuit?
Meanwhile, local consultant and self-proclaimed civil libertarian Jed Taylor said if the council approves the ordinance, refusing a police officer's request would immediately classify someone as a criminal, forcing people to prove innocence. "That's just simply wrong," Taylor said.
And, Taylor asked, if drugs are suspected, who will bear the costs of performing blood tests? (If someone is suspected of driving drugged in Montana, law enforcement conducts blood tests).
"So, who is going to pay for me to prove my innocence?" Taylor asked. "Please reconsider and find a better way."
The council will hold a public hearing March 8 to discuss the ordinance.
"There will be plenty of time to address questions," Strohmaier said.

Lots of manufacturers make Android phones, and they make them using processors from ARM. Intel wants to change that, and they figure the best way to sell manufacturers, and phone buyers, is to make their own Android phones (and, to a lesser extent, tablets).
Intel has long been an also-ran in the mobile device field, as their mobile-focused Atom chips have drawn too much power for portable gadgets smaller than a netbook. But, without disclosing too many particulars, Intel is ready to show off its more efficient chips in a reference phone and tablet--to Technology Review, at first, and likely in devices made by other firms at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in January.
Let's break out our armchairs and do some analyzin', bullet point style:
Nobody thinks competition in the mobile space is an inherently bad thing--gadgets can always be cheaper, faster, and more friendly. But my eyebrows cock a little at the idea of adding yet another variable, at a very deep level, to the Android ecosystem. Google is poised to start pushing out a unified version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), and, as has always been the case, it's an uphill battle to build momentum for upgrades among five major manufacturers (LG, Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Sony/Ericsson), their customized skins (HTC Sense, Samsung's TouchWiz, Motorola's MotoBlur, among others), and the four major U.S. cellular carriers (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile). Now double those factors by providing two different architectures for which to build Android, and the oft-referenced fragmentation problem doesn't look to be improving.
On the other hand, it's interesting, and promising, to see Intel as a force for pushing entire market sectors forward. Their Ultrabook efforts, while yet to create a notebook with the same kind of buzz as the MacBook Air, has at least shoved many manufacturers into valuing design, portability, and battery life over proprietary add-ons. A move to force Android phone makers to meet standards of battery life, design, and screen clarity would not be such bad news.
Then again, Technology Review's report (toward the end of the post) that Intel's Medfield chips are built "specifically to speed up Android apps and Web browsing" is quite the teaser. You'd like to hear that everything, of course, was just lag-free and smooth, like many iPhone and iPad enthusiasts claim is a major differentiation between iOS and Android. But given the camera improvements in Ice Cream Sandwich, and Intel's specialized chips, Android could possibly run smoother in most places on Intel.
All that is filed under the "Until We Get Our Hands On It" section. What do you think about the possibility of another chip maker getting a shot at powering Android?

Grown up snack substitutions to satisfy your inner child's taste buds
(BPT) - When you were a child you could eat anything you wanted without worrying about the result. The calories never stuck around.
Now, not so much.
And so you're following the steps. You're eating right, you're exercising and you've given up the snacks. But wait a minute, who said you had to give up snacks? You can still enjoy your snacks, including many of the familiar tastes you grew up with.
'We all have flavors that we crave,' says food and entertaining expert Evette Rios, host of CBS' Recipe Rehab. 'But you don't have to give up your favorite treats just to eat right. Plenty of healthy alternatives can satisfy that same craving without the excess calories.'
If you're ready to eat smarter while enjoying the flavors you've always loved, incorporate these healthy substitutes into your diet and you'll feel like a kid again - just one with a later curfew and driving privileges.
* Ditch the doughnut. You've heard the logic that says you're better off eating the doughnut than eating nothing because it jumpstarts your metabolism. But you know what's even better than eating the doughnut? Eating just about anything besides the doughnut. If you need your morning carbs, replace that doughnut with an English muffin for a similar texture. Cover it in jelly so you don't lose out on the sweet taste and then slowly work your way down to the low-sugar jam for an even healthier snack.
* Delectable drinks to satisfy your sweet tooth. As a kid you loved candy. You grew up eating Sweet Tarts and Red Hots. And if you still love these nostalgic flavors as an adult, you can enjoy them by making some simple replacements. Good Earth Tea fusions satisfy your candy cravings with a healthy, natural twist. Love Red Hots? Try Good Earth's Sweet & Spicy. Sweet Tart fan? You'll love Sweetly Twisted. 'I love candy,' says Jamie Krell, lifestyle expert. 'And Good Earth Teas allow me to enjoy the tastes I've always loved without the excess sugar and calories.' There is a Good Earth Tea flavor to match any candy crush. You can peruse the full list by visiting the Good Earth Tea Facebook page.
* Sayonara, snack cakes. Snack cakes come in many shapes and sizes, but they're all essentially the same: cake exterior, cream filling interior and they don't spoil. But you still enjoy them. So how do you avoid them? The next time you're in the mood for a snack cake, make a smart replacement and try some low-fat angel food cake instead. Top it with healthy strawberries and low-fat whipped cream and you really can have your cake and eat it, too.
* Chuck the chips. Sweets are one thing but salt is another slippery slope. If you crave salty snacks, you probably find chips difficult to pass up. So don't abandon your crunch crush, just make sure you're enjoying a healthy substitute. Replace those fatty chips with toasted pita chips and savory hummus and you'll satisfy your craving without feeling remorse afterward.
* Choose the garden over grease. You can't find your favorite greasy appetizers in the vending machine, but they make for dangerous happy hours. The next time you feel tempted, opt for vegetables instead. Veggies are more than just garnish in many of today's restaurants because of smart snackers like you, so take advantage of them. Crunch a carrot or savor a celery stick dipped in low fat ranch dressing and you'll be thankful you did once happy hour is over.
* So long sugary drinks. You may think it's impossible to get through your day without your favorite sugary-sweet lemonade or other soft drink, but your body might be happier if you did. When you feel the desire for a sugary beverage, quench it with Good Earth Tea instead. Good Earth Tea's Citrus Kiss, for example, is a naturally sweet, great alternative to lemonade. Bizzie Gold, celebrity trainer and founder of Buti Yoga, concurs: 'Giving water a flavor boost with bold teas is a great way to ensure you drink plenty of it throughout the day. Healthier, flavorful beverages like Good Earth Tea let you reap the benefits of water with each sip.'
Your metabolism may have changed since you've gotten older, but your taste buds are just as strong as ever. Fortunately, you don't have to ignore one to satisfy the other. By incorporating a few smart substitutions into your snacking routine, you'll enjoy the flavors you crave without the calories. To learn more about Good Earth Teas, visit www.goodearth.com.

Time's Up to Apply for Pre-K in NYC Schools
The deadline for applying to a public school pre-kindergarten program has arrived, weeks after Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the city's first round of new pre-k seats to be available this fall.
Families have until 11:59 p.m. Wednesday to apply to pre-k online, or until 3:00 p.m. to apply in person at a borough enrollment office. They can apply to up to 12 programs on the application, ranked in order of preference. Parents who already submitted an application can update it anytime before the deadline.
As part of its rapid expansion plans, the city recently said it would add 4,000 new seats in public school pre-k programs. Queens and Brooklyn saw the greatest total number of new full-day seats, with each getting more than 1,200.
District 24 in Queens, which encompasses Corona, Glendale and Middle Village, saw the greatest single increase: the district's seats would more than quadruple from the mere 36 full-day seats currently offered.
Offer letters will go out in June. Children are not guaranteed a spot in a public school pre-k program but the city said it plans to add thousands more full-day seats by September - in community-based organizations - to accommodate demand.
With reporting from Coulter Jones.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Rooms are nice ,breakfast good,8 km from the center of Rijeka
I like the room, the view.
Excellent welness area and treatments offered where very good and affordable The food was very poor for a five star hotel!
Comfort of room Public parking in front of hotel cost 5 kunas/hour, entrance in spa is expensive even one of saunas was out of order
It was fine. There were not enough towels on the pool, probably because of the construction work. Also inside pool was not in use. (This is just a comment, not complain.)
Excellent food
hotel staff not sympathy the room untidy no facilities as 5 star hotel
The location of the hotel is in the middle of the city of Opatija.The staff is very friendly and my room was clean,large and equippd with all the usual ammenities and a nice seaview terrace. I stayed for one night only and did not find anything that I would not like
swimingpool no lcd in the room.but in the picture i found the lcd but in my room ....no i wait for chek in until 5 pm.....i do not recommend this hotel"
Beautiful location, nice balcony, good air conditioning, nice breakfast. Slightly dated, especially the exterior of the building. Not really what I'd call a 5* hotel but nice nevertheless.
Very good price/performance (however, it is off-season). Rooms were clean, staff was ok.
Location Not enough elevators and the existing ones are too slow. Not enought parking. Hotel Bar and Restaurant close too early.
Excellent, helpful staff; beautiful view of water Room small; had to walk some distance to elevators and breakfast room; not in center of "hotel row"
Could not fault. Great swimming pool
In a great location of Opatija, breakfast was good and parking facilities available.
the view on the sea we were next to the elevators, the noise was constant all night. we certainly did not have a rest. Glad to leave.
the newly refurnished facilities
This is supposed to be a 4* hotel - which I am not sure I would agree with. I do not expect to have to pay for the use of the sauna, steam room etc. in the pool area, nor should there be a charge for the sun loungers on the "beach" We had specifically asked for a parking place as we had driven from England, but one was not available
The view!!! no
The view of the Adriatic Sea is great. The older section of the hotel is very 70s, but the rooms have great balconies. The newer section is very nice, but no balconies. Buffet breakfast was extensive and good. There are two free internet points in the lobby. There was a stale smell in the lobby of the 70s portion of the hotel.
we had a nice room no parking not even for unloading bags
I liked the design and the furniture. The staff was helpful and professional. The position is excellent. Breakfast was excellent too, in a beautiful hall. The telephone in the room didn't work. We also found one cockroach in the room. The wifi connection is not free of charge and works very poorly on the upper floors.
Very friendly staff. Great location. Nice rooms & bathrooms. Pretty good breakfast, too. We were upgraded to a bigger room for free since we were traveling with our 2 yr old son. I would stay again! The rooms were pretty hot, and we were there in October. Air just didn't work right.
Excellent recent refurbishment, excellent staff, great location. Decor is charming, luxurious and tasteful. Superb sea view from room. Great breakfast. Staff was very professional, helpful, plentiful and friendly. Value for the money was the best we had in Croatia. We enjoyed everything about our stay.
The towels for handwash were missing...
Very nice hotel, very elegant, comfortable, pleasant. -
Close to the center of the city and the beach Very difficult to park a big car in the city since there are lots of one way and narrow streets.
Excellent room , good location in town. No convenient place to unload luggage. Also, their garage was overbooked, so we had to park at a sister hotel about two blocks away. A minor inconvenience.
Tip top renovation, bed, appliances, bathroom with tub. Room with great view.
a very nice, old-style hotel, cosy, nicely furnished... a helpfull lady receptionist no parking place available at the time of our stay; traffic noise comming from the main street
Great location (heart of Opatija), exquisite buffet breakfast Reception staff unworthy of a 5* hotel. Shame that hotel guests have to pay extra charges for parking their car.
Nothing Cannot be regarded as a 5* hotel, hardly up to the standard of 4* hotels we were in in Croatia. Room dull and dingy, puplic areas poor. Breakfast was horrible, stale bread and rolls, no fresh juices, hot food looked over cooked and finished items were not replaced.
The staff were consistently polite and helpful. During a spell of very bad weather they made every effort to make last minute appointments for me at the spa so that my holiday was not affected. There was nothing that I found out of place or that I did not like.
We went during the off season and so were able to have very nice rooms at a very reasonable prices. The staff was courteous and helpful and the included breakfast was delicious and plentiful. When two of three of us asked for changes to our room assignments, the front desk accomodated this - one receiving a very nice double with a sea view and the other (who wanted a view) did get that, but the bed was a pull-out couch. Clearly this room normally serves as the living space of a suite. However, this was satisfactory as it gave the desired view.
The 4-stars Hotel Grand Opatijska Cvijeta offered comfort of a 5-star hotel. The location was ideal and the rooms were very large and comfortable. The hotel itself was great but I was disturbed by the conduct of Milenij Hotels. I booked a room in Hotel Milenij which booking was changed by the chain to the Hotel Grand Opatijska Cvijeta one day before arrival! It was justified by unidentified technical problems. This was really annoying and uncomfortable. I must admit, however, that the replacement hotel was great.
its position, so close to the sea.also the breakfast! room was a bit too small.
Bar & restaurant location & sea wiev from the room
breakfast and outdoor dining areas
Excellent position,nice view,SPA,excellent massage,spacious room.... Unfriendly staff,no wireless internet in room,poor breakfast....
We liked the location, the luxurious surroundings, the pool and spa. We did not like the fact we were kept awake for 2 nights in a row until 3 am by a disco in the hotel which was the loudest we have ever heard. We also did not like the fact you had to hire sunbeds on the hotel terrace. We feel this should be included in price.
great views over the sea breakfast food poor
location,cleanliness and comfort
Nice room, nice view, lots of facilities, beautifull city, very helpfull car-boy. The hotel lies very quiet, which is nice. The boulevard is very noisy, lots of hotels have music. You hear nothing in the hotel Admiral. Very friendly staff in the restaurant! The buffet, we wished we had choosen à la carte.But then, it was very very cheap.
Huge internal pool. Panoramic kinds on the sea and yachts from all numbers.
Location, Service, Breakfast was great They charged us for chairs at the pool despite being a guest. One day the pool was being cleaned so for the whole day we could not use it. The indoor pool closes very early on weekdays and the fitness club was not open once during my 6 day stay. The staff at the hotel Taverna seemed to forget something from our order each time we ate their.
Staff Food not so good
Hotel has a good location, rooms are spacious and properly equipped, breakfast is excellent, hotel staff is kind
The view en close tho te center. Complicated to find the way. Easy to get lost in this hotel. No possibility for ordering drinks at swimming pool and whe had to pay for umbrella and chairs at the swimming pool.
Fabulous indoor sea water pool. Beds
Reasonable hotel with good external swiming pool, nice view from hotel rooms, bit large for moving from one side of the hotel to other.
The hotel is located on the coast, a couple of steps and you are in the sea! You can park the car in the garage and there was really no need to leave the hotel during our stay because everything could be found there- pool, coast, drinks, meals some music after dinner. We needed nothing more. Breakfast bar was plentiful, lunch or dinner was not too expensive. Love the fact that there is a view of the sea from the lobby and the pool area. Great location! Lack of enough chairs at the pool- bit crowded. Roadside rooms are a bit noisy due to traffic on the roads. The beach is not too big, therefore its more crowded, but that the hotel can not control. Comment for bookings.com- there was not any info of what view our room would have, and that is important.
A very nice hotel, spacious and modern rooms. Good location, not far from the old city. There is also free public parking available within 100 m of the hotel on a first come first served basis. The a la carte restaurant on level 1 has a very good range of reasonably priced meals, including fantastic wood fired pizzas for less than 5 euro, as well as music in the evening. Overall, a great hotel! The refrigerator in the room did not work. One other issue is that they charge for the sun beds and the sun shades - this is really a terrible habit originating in Italy, and in a four star hotel the poolside facilities should be part of the service rather than an extra! he breakfast buffet, although good, does get a bit monotonous after a few days.
Breakfast was good. Hotel quite. Location is also very nice. I didn't likt the the amount for Hotel Number was different from Booking.Com price. Difference was approximately 5%.(part for currency difference, part for I don't know what). Also bed staff was not changed and pillow was terrible.
The sea view and large room (suite). The had addtional trouble to get the room that we actually booked, ie. suite with a sea view. They gave us a standard double bed room with a view to the street before we realised they made a mistake. Otherwise nice hotel staff.
Hotel is located near the sea, beautiful view from the balcony of the sea, a cozy great room, large and comfortable bathroom, excellent service. Well thought through system with a card (for opening doors, for working lights and air condition). The room has a safe. The sea around the hotel, as a whole in that area - very clean. Sun from 7 am to 3-4 pm. The hotel breakfast - Buffet breakfast is included. Additionally, we booked dinner (also Buffet breakfast), 9 Euro per person. The hotel has an indoor and two outdoor pools, several restaurants. That evening was the entertainment. Overall, we enjoyed stay in this hotel. Uniform food during a buffet breakfest - day after day almost nothing changed. Very high prices for drinks in the room. Daily cocktails wants to be better. There was not a pleasant smell in the room with an indoor pool.
Nice rooms, facilities, helpful staff, clean rooms the elevator was always busy, so we hadto wait minutes to get one where we could fit. If you do not want to pay 7 EUR/day for the garage then you have to fight for parking places. beach is dirty near to the hotel, so you have to travel to Medveja to have a nice beach.
Open and closed swimming pools with sea-water and sauna, restoran was fantastic, very many dishes, fruits, ice-cream on dinner, very taste dishes, very good place of hotel- in the center of Lovran, near bus-stop) Very goob beach- private with platform, frendly personal, good reception service)
location of the hotel is excellent, hotel staff is freindly the breakfact does not fit to four star hotel ranking, services (number of towels, lack of hair shampoo and so on.)
The location in Lovran was good with it being a short bus ride from the more lively Opaltija. The room was comfortable and a decent size and the food was good. In our opinion this hotel was not a 4* status. It was very dated and the outdoor area in particular was very disappointing with lots of repairs needed. The staff were not too friendly and we didn't feel very welcome. Poor value for money compared to over 4* hotels in Croatia.
The staff, indoor pool , the room , the view , location , the tavern's food (the best and cheap pizza in the world), beackfast and last but not least ...the le show (Liburnia Entertainment) The outdoor pool (it was for the children), the taxes for the umbrella's and chairs at the beach and also for the usage of the internet and the parking places.
The place of the hotel. The staff is very kind. The shower place is too small although we are not fat people. we would like that breakfast shall include some vegetable .
The room, view. Close to the sea. More pancakes for breakfast.
Good location to beach, water was terribly cold, but this is not a Hotel fault. The breakfast on terrace was on plastic table and chairs, what is not suitable for a 4stars Hotel.
no parking!
location Staff unpleasant, not offering help with luggage or anything, rushing people from the dinning room all the time, recycle food! Return food to buffet Parking even when paid for the whole stay they do not keep it and it is a fight every night!
Some of the staff were fantastic and helpful, especially those in the caffe bar and dining room. The heating was set too high(26-27) and an older man on reception was just plain rude.
Excellent location, parkingbin front of the hotel, friendly and helpful staff, great food, one of the best hotels I stayed in Croatia. It would have been nice if the sea-view rooms had balconies, but everything can't be perfect, can it? The hotel is so good it does not really matter.
Location is good. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful. The parking fee is too high. Some male staffs were not sincerely nice. There was stinct smell of the bathrrom. It disapeared after showering.
Desk manager was the most rude and impolite of all encountered on a month's trip to Croatia. Also felt that not allowing bags into dining facility reflected the wrong attitude toward guests. I would not recommend this hotel.
location, Staff unpleasant, not offering help with luggage or anything, rushing people from the dinning room all the time, recycle food! return food to buffet Parking even when paid for the whole stay they do not keep it and it is a fight every night!do not follow on wake up call, and no loundry bags in rooms.
Everything No pool; small refrigerator
The hotel is very nice, located very conveniently, interior decoration is very pleasant, and the staff is mostly young but highly professional without being too formal.
There is no parking but the hotel staff are so helpfull that they always find a way of accommodating your request when possible.
we had a very good time, the room are pretty and breakfast was very good.very nice staff as well. only problem is with parking there but we managed to find a plce on the street with meters.
Style Lack of internet at reception
it was plainly the best looking hotel in Opatija the wireless internet not available for free in the rooms
Heat not working properly. Parking is paid and available only 500 meters away. I was given a handicap room which is uncomfortable for a normal person, they claim no other room was available, yet the hotel wasn't full.
Good location, nice hotel & staff
Please write at least 15 words
Attractive hotel, near the water, friendly staff. For a four star hotel, lack of choice for breakfast and no facitilies like sauna or excercise room. Have seen more at a three star.
Nice decorated hotel with nice view over the sea. Good breakfast. Parking is quite difficult there (city center).
The panoramic view was excelent The furniture was a little old
the space in the room and the seaview the hotel is so old and the client too. Not for a young couple.
Service was amazing and genuinely friendly. Room and views were excellent Very highly recommended
no parking, no clima
The location was excellent and the bedroom views were also excellent.Breakfast room was to a high standard and the good was good. I have no hesitation in recommending the hotel. There was an odour from the bathroom which spilled into the bedroom and when we drew this matter to the attention of the receptionist, we were told "you are the only ones having this problem"
Hotel is right in the middle of town. We got an enormus room with a balcony and a view of the sea. Decor a little dated but it was cleana and comfortable. Nice breakfast included, overall good value.
Very nice stuff, food is great and the room is big and clean. No wireless
Location, with a great sea view. Nice and clean. Not much parking available.
friendly staff on reception Could not pay by credit card on checking out as connection problems - had to go to a nearby bank and get cash out of account - not really acceptable. breakfast was awful - no choice Not particularly child friendly - no high chairs and lots of steps Staff in the breakfast room 9particularly the males were rude and unhelpful
Came from Rijeka by a crowded bus for 2 nights only. Location - very close to the bus stop and right by the sea front, easy access to the beach, got a room with the sea view although booked a room without. Plenty of choice for breakfast, but you have to be up early. very small and smelly bathroom, poor shower, the whole place needs a bit of an update, especially the breakfast room, table cloths and bed linen falling apart - full of holes. Places to eat are a bit pricier then you would expect. We liked a restaurant called Hemingway.
somewhat old but still pretty good hotel. no air-conditioner
our room was on the backside of the hotel (not seaside) and very noisy.
The hotel in well located on the seafront. It has an excellent spa and swimming pool with sunbathing facilities that can be reserved for the day.The buffet breakfast is very good with a wide selection to choose from. It has its own car park, ( extra charge) which is essential as it is very very difficult to find parking on the streets. Difficult to find the Hotel and the there are four Grand hotels in Opatija.
breakfast buffet
hard to locate, old rooms, phone and air conditioning not working, food not good. $$$$ for what you get. everything
Good hotel, one of the best in Opatija, comfortable, clean, good service
Parking, position, view.
location,friendly staff initial problem with the toilet-we were given another room
The room was very spacious and was realy clean. Hotel building is not as nice as interior. Stuff was very friendly. There was no shampoo in the bathroom.
Staff was extremely courteous, breakfast buffet fantastic.
Friendly staff, good facilities and food and good location
The location can't be beat and the hotel looks fantastic. The rooom really need updating. Looks like it hasn't been touched in 30 years in the rooms.
The hotel had a beautiful sea view and was within easy walking distance on the Rijeka bus stop. The breakfast was good. The hotel was "very tired" and is in desperate need of redecorating.
The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly. No air con!
Nice location, very good breakfast. The entire hotel is in need of new carpets, draperies and furniture. At the very least it needs a good cleaning. The rooms are too small for the furniture placed in them. There was no adequate way to maneuver in the room.
The nearness of the seaside and the beautifully located pool with seawater which looked very romantic in the early morning, The style of the hotel's historic design is superb, the magnificent interior is the Crystall Hall where breakfast is served. The particular room we had was unsatisfactorily, it was cramped and its dimensions resembled to a single room. My Partner thinks this is a complaint but it isn't.
location location, staff Getting a little seedy., expensive for condition
Rooms in need of a facelift
Pleasant staff
This is evidently the oldest hotel in town and its less than luxurious decor and facilities give proof of this, but it has old world charm and views of the sea that make up for this. The staff is terrific and I feel that many of them have been there many years. A very enjoyable stay (but the worst coffee I have ever tasted). The coffee!!
The position of the Hotel. The hotel is one of the oldest in Opatija and it has a specific charm. The heating was bad.
Room size, balcony. Restaurant.
Fantastic breakfast. really a luxury hotel. Disappointed that they charged for parking, considering how much the room rate was.
staff is very very excelent. position of the hotel is in center of opatija, also fantastic. the hotel need a refurbishing like a hell. it is 3* maximum, so do not expect something extra. but the staff is 6*.
rooms too small
The location was very good. Some of the service was not up to par. It took a long time to get a second cup of coffee for breakfast.
The excellent service of the staff make this hotel.THe rooms are spacious and are spotlessly clean.
Position - our room was excellent with large balcony overlooking sea Breakfast buffet was poor but hotel happy to make breakfast to order
The hotel is not big and very comfortable For the five-star hotel restaurant is very bad
The friendly atmosphere the professional way the hotel is run
Everything was best! Would have liked the bill in dollars.
The triple room was a very large double with a seperate single which was perfect for parents travelling with young adult daughter. Bedding very nice. We would have liked to know that if you wanted to have supper in the restaurant you had to tell them, we turned up for dinner and they were not expecting us, so we had to go out - it wasn't a problem there are several restaurants nearby
Everything!! The hotel is fantastic, very clean and the staff are the best I have ever experienced. I travel all around the world and the customer service at this hotel was unbelievable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. We enquired about an evening meal at the hotel and they asked us what we would like and cooked this to order. Fantastic! Nothing
Location, room, services Everything was excellent
Very good welcome. Room was spacious (we were given a suite).Didn't try the restaurant. Easy walking distance to the centre of Lovran.
We enjoied our stay and the manager Dunia made everything possible to guide us and help in order to have a pleasent stay. Excelent location, view and breakfast
Five Star, clean, beautifully renovated, quiet room with excellent location for walking; outstanding buffet breakfast; free entertainment on select nights. Opatija is a charming city to walkaround the main street and seaside promenade Difficult to find hotel. Free parking is very difficult to find and roads are very steep -- consider paying hotel for parking; luggage transport from front desk to hotel annex is involved; hotel does not have designated smoke-free rooms.
The room was spaceous, with a wonderful view over Kvarner bay. Hotel beach was great and gave us some privacy, espeacilly valuable during high season when all public beaches are crowded. The open pool was great as well. My daughter enoyed supervised activities for kids during the time of the day when the heat was still too high for children. There were things that a 4 /5 * hotel should not allow: breakfast was pretty poor; hotel towels very thin and washed out; there were no shampoo or body wash in the bathroom exept from the dispenser and those very thin and watered down ; rooms were serviced late in a day.
The staff at the reception were very nice & helpful! The outdoor pool & areas surrounding the pool are large & very nice. The indoor pool/jacuzzi is just inside from the outdoor pool so it easy to go back and forth between them. The beach area is also close to the outdoor pool. There are some nice rock formations just off the hotel which make for some good snorkeling. It is an easy 10 minute walk to the center of Opatija, so it is easy to go out for dinner without driving. The breakfast does not seem to be 5 star quality. We have stayed at many 4 star hotels in Croatia with better breakfasts. Parking in Opatija is expensive (5 kuna/hour min, even on weekends) so if the hotel doesn't have free parking (like this one), it can add up. We stayed in the Villas and to get there from the hotel (which is the only way) you have to go up and down stairs, which is a pain with a stroller. Same for the beach--the only access from the hotel is with multiple stairs.
Excellent facilities with pools and Wellness Centre, location is fantastic with great views on the Adriatic. Restaurant was O.K.
Spcious, quiet room, big pool, helpful staff, good spa and massage facilitites, private access to the beach (concrete area for chairs), Breakfast quality (considered as fodder rather than food), untidy floors and long way out from the Villa (only possible through the hotel).
Excellent room with fantastic view. Helpful staff. Good sea and pool swimming. Very nice hotel Parking expensive. No outdoor dining in evening (so we tended to dine out)

I am so sad these days. I could not get my account to work for the longest time so I could not post from the Rainbow bridge.
I have been here almost 3 months. I miss my family so much. But I am here with my brother Chuck and he met me here a day after I came to the Bridge.
Pray for Mommy. She misses me so much and I wish I did not have to go to the Bridge. I wanted to be with my family longer!!
Thank you and I had a great day. It is nice to have so many great friends!!
Wow, tomorrow is October. Cooler weather is headed our way. It has been warm and humid here so cool weather will be nice.
Fall means more catnaps and I like that.
Have fun friends!!

text: I have been reading in a lot of the threads that the only reason that Fabio and Brezec were being played was for a trade. We heard the same thing at the beginning of the year about Murray. Is this really necessary in todays NBA with all the media coverage and histories on the players? Did it actually back fire on us in hopes of moving Murray? Just wondering if trotting a brand new acquisition that doesn't know your plays in and out of games actually "raises his value" on the trade block? Did we stick ourselves by not just keeping them on the bench and the opposition guessing about their talents?

As the Big East moves into full swing, four upstarts, all unranked nationally in the Soccer America Preseason Top 25, are off to great starts.
South Florida (5-0-0) has broken into the Soccer America Top 25 at No. 23, while DePaul (4-0-0), Villanova (5-1-0) and Syracuse (3-0-3) could crack the Top 25 with big weekends.
SOUTH FLORIDA. The Bulls open their Big East schedule Friday night with a match against No. 2 Connecticut that should draw a big crowd to the USF Soccer Stadium.
"This is a great opportunity to play the No. 2 ranked team in the country at home," said head coach George Kiefer, who will be facing his mentor, Ray Reid of UConn.
Kiefer's solid recruiting class has made up for the loss of a pair of undergraduates, U.S. U-20 Anthony Wallace to FC Dallas and Rodrigo Hidalgo to the USL's Minnesota Thunder.
Kiefer started four freshmen in USF's 6-1 win over American last Saturday: former U.S. U-17 Diego Restrepo in goal, fellow Floridian Andre Mittoo on defense and Trinidadian Javed Mohammed and Venezuelan Bernardo Anor in midfield.
Anor and German Simon Schoendorf both had hat tricks against AU.
DEPAUL. The Blue Demons, who host Connecticut on Sunday, are the only team in the country to have not allowed a goal this season.
Goalie Brian Visser set a school record last Friday in DePaul's 2-0 win with his fourth consecutive shutout. The Blue Demons' 4-0-0 record is their best start in program history.
Coach Craig Blazer went almost entirely with freshmen and sophomores last season when the Blue Demons qualified for the Big East Tournament -- their first appearance in a conference tournament since 1998 -- and that experience has paid off.
It's also helped that DePaul will have opened up with its first six games at Wish Field. Before meeting UConn, the Blue Devils host Providence on Friday.
VILLANOVA. The Wildcats are sure on a roll. They posted perhaps the biggest win in the history of the program when they knocked off Duke, 1-0, in Durham two weeks ago, and they take a five-game winning streak -- the last four all shutouts -- into weekend games at home against Marquette and No. 3-ranked Notre Dame.
The core of Coach Larry Sullivan's team is his senior class, led by four-year starters Matt Sleece and Danny DeMasters and goalkeeper Jason Friel.
Another senior starter, Farris Fakhoury, made the Wildcats squad after being cut as a freshman.
Sophomore Mike Seamon (five goals and one point) has already topped his 2006 scoring production when he led Villanova in scoring.
SYRACUSE. The Orange is off to its best start in more than 20 years, going 3-0-3 in first six games of the season. In most recent outing, the Orange routed Fordham, 3-0, in its home opener.
Dean Foti has plenty of experience with three seniors, four juniors and three sophomores in his projected lineup against Pitt Friday in the first of two Big East games at home. The Orange faces No. 7 West Virginia on Sunday.
Floridian Hansen Woodruff has followed up on a solid freshman season with four goals and four assists in Syracuse's first six games. Senior Brad Peetom, one of four starters from Canada, has been outstanding on the backline.

Lets remember again that in the first place, cars are totally worthless investments. You will NEVER get your investment back, no matter how loaded or stripped it is, no matter what car it is, no exceptions. If your dying for retained value, put down 30-50% of the value and it will never be upside down. The only way a car is a sound investment is if you work your way up...buy a car for 2 grand, drive it for 2 years and invest maybe a grand in repairs while in that 2 year time you save up 2500. Sell it for 500, and now you have 3 grand. Repeat that process for a decade and youll have thousands in your pocket and never make payments

Most people will ALWAYS buy a new lesser equipped model rather than a used loaded model for the same price.
You guys are missing a BIG part of the picture, the intangible value of being comfortable and satisfied in a space most people spend an hour to an hour and a half of their days in. If someone feels that a computer gadget to play around with while sitting at lights will make them enjoy their commute more, then by all means they should pay extra for MFT in their car. So what if it's not worth anything when you get rid of it? How many hours of enjoyment did you get out of it at the end for that money? It's no different than most electronics out there.
Same with houses. Many folks spend money upgrading their houses to their own personal taste to enjoy them more while they live in them and often do not get that money back at selling time. Pools may be the #1 example.

Reporting on terror arrests in Britain, numerous media outlets ask: Will the news help Bush?
Research ››› ››› BEN ARMBRUSTER & ROB MORLINO
In the wake of the recent thwarting of an alleged terrorist plot in Britain, numerous media outlets have posed the question of whether news of the event would benefit President Bush, often letting conservatives or Republican officials spin the news in favor of the administration. Many of the reports neglected to consider whether the news could actually hurt Bush politically.
Since authorities in Britain recently arrested several suspects accused of plotting to attack U.S.-bound flights using liquid explosives, numerous media outlets have posed the question of whether news of the thwarted terror plot will benefit President Bush -- and in some cases, simply made the assertion that it does. Absent from many of those reports was any consideration of whether news of these arrests could actually hurt Bush politically -- because, for example, it might serve as a reminder of what Democrats say are failures by the Bush administration and Congress to implement the 9-11 Commission's recommendations on fighting terrorism. And of course, to make the assertion that the news benefits Bush is to dismiss the alternative possibility that a plot foiled in Britain will have no impact on partisan politics in the United States.
- During a report titled "National Insecurity: How Vulnerable Are We?" the August 15 edition of ABC's Good Morning America quoted American Enterprise Institute resident scholar Norman J. Ornstein, who, referring to the recently uncovered terror plot, claimed that "having a national security scare is actually good political news for the president and the White House and the Republican Party." Without noting comments from other analysts, Good Morning America weekend anchor Kate Snow added that "Ornstein and other analysts say it's a tricky time to be a Democrat," because "[t]hey want to look tough on terrorism, too."
- During the "All Star Panel" segment on the August 14 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, Washington Examiner senior White House correspondent Bill Sammon claimed: "I think you have to give him [Bush] credit when they foil a terrorist plot," adding: "I think that the fact that Bush was touting this today was testament to the notion that things may have turned in his favor."
- On the August 14 edition of Fox News Live, anchor Bridget Quinn asked Rice University political science professor Paul Brace if the recently foiled terror plot "could [] somehow help Republicans," adding that "[p]eople might say, 'Well, all right, maybe we're a little tired of the old administration, but you know what? They've kept us safe.' " Brace claimed that the issue of terrorism is the "only area" in which Bush "gets a majority approval" and added that it "is an issue that plays well for the president and, I think, Republicans."
- On the August 13 edition of the NBC Nightly News, NBC Washington correspondent Rosalind Jordan presented a segment examining the question of whether the arrests would provide Bush with a boost in his ratings, given that "no matter what the president's overall job-approval rating, he's always polled best when it comes to homeland security." The segment quoted former 9-11 Commission Vice Chairman Lee Hamilton, from his appearance that morning on NBC's Meet the Press, saying "[W]e do not think that there has been sufficient urgency, priority, resources, people put into the protection of the people here at home." Nevertheless, the report concluded: "Political experts say it could take another week or so to figure out whether the arrests in the bombing plot are going to give a lift to the president and the Republican Party." At no point during the segment was the possibility raised that the arrests could hurt Bush's standing in the polls.
- On the August 13 edition of ABC's This Week, host George Stephanopoulos cited polling that illustrated that more Americans trust Democrats than President Bush regarding efforts to combat terrorism. However, Stephanopoulos asked ABC News chief White House correspondent Martha Raddatz if "the White House believes that the London plot is enough to turn those numbers around." Raddatz answered that the unveiled terror plot in London "certainly plays well into their strategy to focus again on national security."
- An August 11 Baltimore Sun article titled "Arrests may boost GOP, analysts say," quoted only one "analyst" supporting the headline's claim. Sun reporter Paul West opened the article by noting that "Republican efforts to portray themselves as stronger than the Democrats on national security might have gotten a real-world boost with the unraveling of an alleged terror plot in London." West then quoted Pew Research pollster Andrew Kohut's agreement, asserting that the terror plot "puts a focus on the strong suits of the Bush administration." However, while later noting that voters "trusted Bush to keep the country safe" in the 2004 presidential election, West then quoted Democratic pollster Paul Maslin, who added: "I don't think most Americans believe that anymore."
- On the August 11 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly asked Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons if "the president's poll numbers are going to rise after the arrests in London." O'Reilly later asserted that Bush "owns the terror issue, because there is no Democrat right now ... that really has articulated a strong, specific way to deal with worldwide terrorism."
- Discussing the thwarted terror plot during the "All-Star Panel" segment on the August 10 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, Washington Post columnist Jeffrey Birnbaum asserted that "President Bush will get a lot of political credit for working so closely with the British to stop" the alleged terror plot in London.
Three major polls have been conducted and released since British authorities revealed the terror plot on August 10. An August 12 Newsweek poll found that 55 percent of those polled approve of Bush's handling of terrorism and homeland security, which was, as Newsweek noted, "an 11-point boost since May." The poll also found that Bush's overall approval rating had increased 3 percentage points from 35 percent to 38 percent (his disapproval is at 55 percent). The poll's margin of error was 3 percentage points. The Newsweek poll also found that 51 percent of registered voters polled said they would vote for the Democratic candidate in their own congressional district, while 39 percent said they would vote Republican, results that, according to Newsweek, remained "basically unchanged from an 11-point Democratic advantage in March and May." A CBS News poll conducted August 11-13 showed no change in the percentage of respondents who approved of Bush's performance on terrorism, with an increase of 1 percentage point among those who disapprove of his job on terrorism -- within the 3-percentage-point margin of error -- since CBS' last poll in July. The August CBS poll found that 51 percent of those polled approve of Bush's handling of terrorism, while 43 percent disapprove; the poll's figures from July were 51 percent and 42 percent, respectively. Finally, a Gallup poll conducted August 7-10 and released August 15 found that Bush's approval rating had remained essentially unchanged at 37 percent; the Gallup poll has shown Bush's approval alternating between 37 percent and 40 percent in its five most recent polls. The Gallup organization also noted: "It is unclear what impact the recent terrorism developments will have on Bush's public support, though the initial indications are that it will not help much."
From the August 15 edition of ABC's Good Morning America:
ORNSTEIN: Right now, having a national security scare is actually good political news for the president and the White House and the Republican Party.
SNOW: Ornstein and other analysts say it's a tricky time to be a Democrat. They want to look tough on terrorism, too. Of course, Robin, congressional elections just weeks away now
From the August 14 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
JIM ANGLE (guest host): Well, Bill, even if you don't like the war in Iraq, one thing that was sort of odd about this is that a lot of critics jumped past the fact that we foiled this plot -- that intelligence was able to disrupt it -- and immediately looked for some other lesson in this thing. The president seems to be saying, "The lesson is that good intelligence works, and that things like the terrorist surveillance program and the terrorist financing program, and all of those things seem to work for disrupting terrorist plots."
SAMMON: Yeah. In fact, President Bush today, unprompted, brought up the terrorist surveillance program and the Patriot Act. Now, that tells you that that's a political winner for him, at least in his perception. And you know, we all beat up on President Bush when he made miscalculations about Iraq and when things go badly in Iraq, but I think you have to give him credit when they foil a terrorist plot and that's actually a good thing. I mean, Bush and Blair must feel sometimes like they can't win for losing. You know, you foil a plot and, "Oh, it's because you started the chain of events that caused the plot," you know.
So I think that the fact that Bush was touting this today was testament to the notion that things may have turned in his favor. And that coupled with the -- when he talked about the events of the last week, he's also alluding to the Lamont victory which clarified the choice between Republicans and Democrats by making Democrats look more like the anti-war party.
From the August 14 edition of Fox News Live:
QUINN: But about the terror plot, could that somehow help Republicans? People might say, "Well, all right, maybe we're a little tired of the old administration, but you know what? They've kept us safe."
BRACE: Well, the only area where President Bush gets a majority approval is in his handling of terrorism, and that jumped 11 percent in one poll after the uncovering of the terror plot. So this is an issue that plays well for the president, and I think the Republicans were quick to become unified behind the president after that terror plot was uncovered. Specifically, there is an effort to try to equate being tough in Iraq with being tough on terrorism, and if you're not tough on Iraq, perhaps you're not tough on terrorism and Americans are concerned about terrorism. But I'd also add, that the Iraq war still comes out as the number one issue in most polls when people are asked what's the most important thing to them right now.
From the August 13 broadcast of the NBC Nightly News:
JOHN SEIGENTHALER (anchor): Turning now to the politics of terror and the renewed focus on national security issues here at home since last week's arrests in Great Britain. With more now we go to the White House and NBC's Rosalind Jordan. Good evening, Ros.
JORDAN: Good evening, John. You know, no matter what the president's overall job-approval rating, he's always polled best when it comes to homeland security. But will that be enough to help him and his party in the midterm elections?
[begin video clip]
JORDAN: President Bush, back at the White House today after a 10-day working vacation in Texas, now facing three immediate security issues: fallout from the foiled London terror plot, and continued violence in Lebanon and Iraq. But the security challenges may also present a political opening for Mr. Bush.
STUART ROTHENBERG (editor and publisher of The Rothenberg Political Report): It gives the president and his party an opportunity to broaden the discussion about the war against terror and that could benefit to their advantage.
JORDAN: NBC News political analyst Charlie Cook says the president has already paid a heavy political price for the Iraq war.
COOK: The biggest thing is that there was a time when President Bush had an enormous amount of credibility on national security issues, and bit by bit by bit, the war in Iraq has eroded that credibility.
JORDAN: The debate played out on the Sunday-morning talk shows.
SEN. PAT ROBERTS (R-KS): We passed an intelligence reform bill about a year or two ago. I think the DNI's [director of national intelligence] doing a good job. As I say, FBI, CIA, DIA [Defense Intelligence Agency], NSA [National Security Agency], they're all working much better together and jointly with our allies.
SEN. JACK REED (D-RI): The focus and the resources are for doing all we can for homeland protection has been diverted.
JORDAN: Politics aside, the former chairmen of the 9-11 Commission, appearing exclusively today on NBC's Meet The Press, said the nation needs to do more to defend the homeland.
LEE HAMILTON (former vice chairman, 9-11 Commission): And we do not think that there has been sufficient urgency, priority, resources, people put into the protection of the people here at home.
JORDAN: NBC's David Gregory asked, are we safer five years after 9-11?
THOMAS KEAN (former chairman, 9-11 Commission): I think we're safer, but we're not safe. Still a number of things we should be doing that we're not doing. And this should be a wake-up call.
[end video clip]
JORDAN: Political experts say it could take another week or so to figure out whether the arrests in the bombing plot are going to give a lift to the president and the Republican Party. But as one expert put it today, John, "You know, something else could happen that could make everyone forget about last week's arrests." John.
From the August 13 edition of ABC's This Week:
STEPHANOPOULOS: I want to get back to the politics of all this. We saw two big political events this week. Obviously, the primary in Connecticut and then the political implications of the London terror plot, and clearly it seemed that the White House thought that this could be a turning point, the London terror plot. You saw Vice President [Dick] Cheney. You saw Ken Mehlman, the Republican National Committee chairman going straight out and really hitting this point hard on national security. Yet, in the two days before this came out we had an ABC poll that showed actually that more Americans disapprove than approved of President Bush in the fight against terrorism, and trusted Democrats to handle the war on terror. And the question I have, Martha, is do you believe and do you think the White House believes that the London plot is enough to turn those numbers around?
RADDATZ: Well, I think they certainly hope it's enough to turn them around, and that -- and I think you'll hear for weeks and weeks and weeks the focus on terrorism, the focus on the fact that this plot was interrupted and as you said just before that, they were very worried about this, this certainly plays well into their strategy to focus again on national security.
From the August 11 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: "Back of the Book" segment tonight, at the top of the program White House spokesman Tony Snow forcefully said that his party has the right formula to protect Americans against terror. Of course, Democrats disagree. Joining us from Jacksonville, Florida, Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons. Do you think the president's poll numbers are going to rise after the arrests in London? Dick Morris said they're going to go up 10 points next week. He's usually pretty accurate. Do you believe that?
O'REILLY: But you have basically the Democrats who are saying that the Bush administration is encouraging terrorism by the Iraq situation, that it doesn't know how to deal with it. And then you have the Republicans who say, "Look, Democrats don't have any plan at all. And the president's forceful cooperation and forceful anti-terror rhetoric is what is needed." You know, I'm going to be really fascinated to see those polls next week. I think he's going to go above 40. I don't know if it's going to be 10. But I do think that the president owns the terror -- he owns the terror issue, because there is no Democrat right now, and you can point to one if you'd like, that really has articulated a strong, specific way to deal with worldwide terrorism.
From the August 10 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
BIRNBAUM: Well, I think that we would have figured it out after a little while, but it is astonishing and scary what might have happened. Clearly there'll be a lot of kudos to go around, the British in particular. I think President Bush will get a lot of political credit for working so closely with the British to stop this. And it -- but it also points out what we don't know. How many more of these plots are there out there? And it does show how vulnerable we are to international terrorism. Separate completely from the issue of the war in Iraq, I think.

2013 was a bad year for the major airlines and their passengers in terms of reliability.
According to FlightStats, the major carriers had more cancellations and delays than in 2012. Only 78-percent of flights last year were on time, down from 80-percent the year before.
Also up was the number of lost bags. The best airlines of 2013, based on a variety of criteria, were Alaska Airlines and Delta. Coming in at the bottom of the list are United and American.
