to think that a looking after six orphans is a full-time job and a constitutes a worthy cause?(193 Posts)
My friends, both with relevant degrees, are moving themselves and their two small children to another country in order to run a tiny home-from-home orphanage with the aim of providing disadvantaged babies and toddlers with a safe place in which to emotionally and physically heal. The shelter would be a home for up to six children at any one time.
They consider that a sustainable venture requires two additional local carers besides themselves, as some of the children are emotionally troubled and physically very ill and need nursing through the night.
My friends would work hand in hand with local authorities who leave the children with them, then collect them when a local adoption placement or similar has been identified (and the child in question is well enough to go).
They've successfully run an almost identical project before with twice as many children. That came to an end through no fault of their own. Without question, they were instrumental in saving children's lives, especially children who were on some last-chance medications which proved incredibly demanding to administer. I could say a great deal more about this but don't want to give identifying details.
The difference now is that they're starting their own project from scratch.
My friends have a christian faith and would be sharing that with the children where appropriate. However this has not detracted from their professionalism in any way and they're held in respect by government agencies. Their 'home' church here has helped significantly but is not in a position to fund this venture. Nor do they belong to a wealthy religious denomination.
Having seen a project like this in practice, I cannot think of a more worthy cause. But DH tells me that many people (his family included) see missionary work as a lifestyle choice for those who like the sun and dislike the 9-5 grind.
He thinks it will be very difficult to persuade anyone to fund a venture that's trying to make at least three full-time jobs out of caring for six children. After all, many people in the UK have six children and manage to work.
Am I being unreasonable to think that most right-thinking people should consider this venture a worthy cause? If not, could you tell me what would make it a worthy cause?
What is the host religion of the country they wish to move to? Why did they choose that country?
Those are the questions that I would ask before judging whether it was a 'worthy cause'. There are needy children everywhere, including in the UK, what is it about this country that they have to look after the children there?
Sorry, but experience leads me to believe that laxer child protection laws can be an attraction to 'missionaries'.
"*if you feel strongly about needy children being manipulating into believing in a loving God, why don't you go and care for them so my friends could go home?*"
What a bizarre question. My objection to your friends brainwashing children has zero connection to whether I personally would like to do their job.
You haven't answered if these children are culturally Christian. Because to feel that their calling and care gives your friends the right to change these children's culture is very wrong and very arrogant. They may think their god is loving. Millions (including myself) would disagree.
I have no issue with your friends caring for these needy children and have only the greatest admiration for them doing so. But, if they truly desire only to help these children, they should be able to do so without bringing religion into it. And if they can't separate their religion from their caring, then as dedicated as they may feel they are, then they are in the wrong business.
Sorry, cross posts, I see you have answered that question now.
Tondelayo: They did work on social outreach programmes here, extensively. The age of their own kids meant they could only do respite fostercare. After a couple of years of that and tireless volunteering, (and working full-time alongside that) they felt called to this and it does seem higher-impact. But they very much feel called everywhere in a geographical sense. They also have a deep respect for local culture as part of designed/inspired world and 100% support these children going to local 'forever homes' that have nothing to do with them or their faith.
annie: Why is it bizarre? If you take my friends off the job, these children will be down a set of houseparents. Don't you feel morally obliged to wonder about who will be changing those nappies and giving out hugs? I think you should follow the line of moral thought further than a kneejerk dismissal.
why don't you go and care for them so my friends could go home?
why don't your friends spend all their time and energy fund-raising for an existing, but very similar, non religious org. to ensure the future and expansion of their projects ?
They are there because they want to be. Spreading their faith is evidently essential to their motivation.
This is clear because your friends would find it easier to fund raise if their religion was strictly part of heir personal life, but wholly separate from the organisation they want to set up and the end users that they intend to serve. Evidently it must be more important to them to maintain the religious aspect of their work than it is to raise enough money to be able to get the project up, running and maintained in the longer term.
That's on them, not people like me who prefer to support endeavours that don't attempt to use charity as a vehicle for religious or political gains.
I've seen loads of projects like this.
Very well intentioned and can sometimes do some short-term good (taking the religious element out). But Tondelayo is right. The solution isn't to fly foreigners in, particularly if there's a religious aspect. It's to develop local services to provide the necessary care, so that the provision can continue long after the outsiders have gone.
As for going to care for the children so your friends can go home....fatuous. Why don't your friends instead support the professional agencies who work on the ground, if they want to help?
The religious aspect is simply unnecessary to the well-being of the children. And who exactly decides when it's 'appropriate'?!
Suggesting that we go and do it ourselves instead is a ridiculous argument - it's reminiscent of George W Bush's mantra 'if you're not with us then you're against us'. Of course we are allowed to criticise jobs, institutions, doctrines, etc. even if we don't do them/aren't part of them ourselves.
Would it not be a lot more efficient for your friends to raise money here for their cause and pay people from that country to look after the orphans? TBH your DH has a point.
as above - no need for anyone but locals to be trained and involved . And 'singing a few songs about Jesus' is a disingenuous way of say indoctrinated form a young age in a religion not of their own or their families choosing.
ithaka: I'm sorry I don't feel I can give out the name of the host country but I can tell you that it's mixed in a racial/religious sense and is globally notorious for having a rising generation of parentless children.
Please note that my friends are not (a) wishing to adopt or (b) encouraging others at home to adopt. If they were doing that, I could understand the lack of support better, as there are better ways to help. This being one of them.
(So far) agreed with TondelayoSchwarzkopf's original post and subsequent ones in response to starfield's answering posts.
Starfield is it okay to ask who the 'parent church' is. A UK organisation, I'm guessing, as it is already stretched on social outreach programmes here but perhaps not CofE, or Cof S, or one of the bigger ones, as it is already stretched and your friends' proposal must be quite small in comparison to all of that 'parent church's work.
I am curious.
Also can I ask which country your friends' are proposing their project for and is it the same country as they carried out their last project in ( number of children in the orphanage was unlimited ) and who funded that project and their involvement in it?
I'm uncomfortable with this form of 'charity'. It seems that it is more about "spreading the word" and missionary work than caring for children. To use vulnerable young children as a vehicle to try and infiltrate religion. "Here have some clean water, but not until you say a prayer" is blackmail and just feels inappropriate and wrong to me. If you're friends had no religious motivation for this type of work, then I would support them 100%, but their obviously clear intention to act as missionaries rather than genuine charity workers sets off alarms bells and I wouldn't support them.
And I say this as a christian myself.
They are making a difference in their own small (huge by my standards) way. It is far from clear that raising money and just handing it over to existing charities is the way foward, especially if it is a country where there is significant corruption. If you saw that TV programme where the guy who was a bus driver in the Uk started supporting a family in a poorer country, he was determined to educate the children of the family, but all the parcels and goods he had sent had been stolen enroute.
I do not have a problem with this, how many people would be prepared to give up their comfortable lives to care for children with multiple health problems (HIV/TB?) possibly to their shortened deaths? Not me, and I thank them for it and am not terribly interested in what their motivation is for this humanitarian act.
Uk children have to engage in an act of Christian worship every day if they want to use state school. To care about singing a few songs with Jesus in (like assembly) is really trivial, unless of course people are prepared to stand by their principles and withdraw their children from UK state education as a protest (disclaimer- I would like to have non-religious education in the Uk, but we don't, and I don't see why parentless children with severe illnesses should be subjected to a higher moral standard about Christian influence than UK children).
Uk children have to engage in an act of Christian worship every day if they want to use state school.
Not true* and completely irrelevant. And I speak for myself when I say I am actively engaged in the secular movement and the campaign to make state education secular - though I suspect some other posters in this thread are the same.
FWIW Christian Aid does not do missionary work and only employs local people in their programmes.
*it's an act of collective workshop - not necessarily Christian in character. At DS's non-relgious school they 'worship' the diversity of the community they live in.
Tondelayo, I teach in a private religious school and I'm still uncomfortable with this form of missionary work. The children in our school are there because their parents have chosen this particular type of faith based education for their children. They aren't there because they would otherwise be starving or without medical attention. We have an excellent standard of state based schooling in our area that is completely non denominational, so parents do have a choice about what their children are learning. That is the big difference to me.
These people could still provide the same level of charity and support for this community without forcing their views on children who have no choice but to accept their "teachings" or else they get turned out on the street to starve.
Uk children have to engage in an act of Christian worship every day if they want to use state school
I just wanted to say that in the 'catchment' area in which I live none of the primary school offer any religious worship acts, and that includes Christian worship. No prayers, no hymns, no grace before meals, no visiting ministers or clergy. They used to, but no longer.
Not worship, but some of the children's educational matter may include study of many cultures and religions (for example, a geography project did, in one school).
In the local state senior schools they do offer 'Religious Education' as a subject. This subject, I gather, includes study of all religions.
Isn't it significant that these projects are supported and respected by local authorities who would be appalled if they all packed up? Shouldn't we take our lead from them?
I can only think that some posters aren't aware of how wretchedly some children in the world are living.
The need is great here in the UK, of course it is. But the depth and widespread nature of poverty in some other countries is much, much worse. Consequently, there is an obligation for those of us who have been given much to look beyond the horizon of our own, absurdly privileged culture. Our motivation for doing so is likely to be values-driven. For a person with a faith, this will be expressed in spiritual terms.
Children are dying today. To do anything significant about that, you must be wealthy or willing to physically go and do something about it (ideally at the direction of local organisations, but often no such organisation exists). I know that organised religion has a deservedly woeful reputation. But isn't it some vindication that people of faith are willing to give up everything because they feel called to imitate Christ - literally washing feet- when they'd actually far rather be getting a mortgage and living somewhere with no nasty bugs?
Sleeton: I'd love to give you those details but don't have the right to. The last project was a local church funded/foreign aid enterprise so yes, faith-based. My friends stepped back because the local vision was to grow it into a bigger institution. They didn't feel another children's home was sustainable, right for their family, or true to the original concept. When at home, my friends attend an evangelical Christian church that I don't feel able to identify. The local church's social outreach programme is significant by any standards. Relevant to more established denominations, the local social outreach project is proportionately much higher. I'm not aware of the cost of the proposed missionary project relative to that. The local church has put forward a substantial amount in funding but isn't able to pledge more without compromising projects here; something it is not prepared to do.
relative to more established denominations, sorry
its a worthy cause, but i wouldnt give any money to it as i think it sounds too religious
Starfield, I don't think anyone is denying that anyone willing to go live in difficult conditions and take on challenging work is not doing an amazing thing. BUT they can do it, respect their own faith and not coerce vulnerable people to support their religion. Go, do amazing work, but keep your faith to yourself.
Mumsyblouse you as how many people would be prepared to give up their comfortable lives to care for children with multiple health problems (HIV/TB?) possibly to their shortened deaths?
When I was at University (a long long time ago, it feels) there was a national programme offering two graduates the opportunity to go for one year to a particularly troubled area of the world, to be part of a programme providing free treatment for a particular illness. The lucky two would be required to provide all their own funding (personal preparation, flights, living on site, etc, etc), would live on site during that year, and would not only have to work full time in atrocious conditions, but would have to submit their own research to the international program tackling this particular illness, at the end of the year.
There were hundreds of applicants for those two places every year!
(yes, I applied, but I'm afraid in my graduation year the two places went to two far far greater minds and abilities than mine! )
* you say (not 'you as')
They didn't feel another children's home was sustainable, right for their family, or true to the original concept
Do your friends plan on taking their own children with them, starfield, and did they do so when they were on their last overseas project?
I can only think that some posters aren't aware of how wretchedly some children in the world are living.
Firstly bullshit. I contribute to non-religious aid agencies and read everything they send me. I read about QUALIFIED midwives, paediatricians, surgeons, nurses, healthcare administrators who have given up everything to work in appalling conditions - they aren't 'imitating' christ and they aren't spreading faith - they are providing practical and tangible services and advocating for change. Many of these volunteers are local people.
Secondly, if this is the case, it suggests to me that hundreds of years of missionary outreach programmes haven't worked.
Values are not exclusive to religion.

Typhoon Sudal severely damages Micronesian atoll
Nearly all the buildings on Yap atoll, Micronesia, have been badly damaged or destroyed in a fierce typhoon which hit last week, the Guam Daily News reported on Monday.
Typhoon Sudal stormed into Yap, which has a population of 8,000, on Friday and links to the Federated States of Micronesia atoll have only been partially restored.
One person died in the typhoon and the homes of more than 1,500 people have been badly damaged, officials said.
A Yap state official, Tom Lutte, told the newspaper the island was devastated.
"Trees are down any direction you turn," Mr Lutte said. "It's a scene of wreckage all around."
Mr Lutte said most people had no water, electricity or phone services.
The Pacific Daily News said a group of American tourists were flown out on Sunday to the US territory of Guam, 828 kilometres to the north, in the aftermath of the storm.
One Washington DC resident Raoul Kulberg, said: "Their homes were destroyed, they lost everything, and there they were trying to help us."
A Yapese student, Dominic Choay, told the newspaper his grandmother believed Sudal was the worst storm to hit Yap."Everything is gone except cement," he said.

Taylor Swift & Katie Holmes Shine at "The Giver" New York City Premiere
Stepping out for an exciting evening, Katie Holmes, Taylor Swift and Brenton Thwaites all showed up at the Big Apple premiere of "The Giver" last night (August 11).
The "Dawson's Creek" cutie got plenty of attention in her flowing pink Zac Posen gown as she worked the arrivals area outside the Ziegfeld Theater along with the "Mean" songstress and the "Maleficent" man.
Additionally, Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep and Odeya Rush came out for the big event, ahead of Friday's nationwide theatrical release of the much-anticipated flick.
However, Mr. Bridges told press that he'd just heard about the death of Robin Williams prior to his arrival, making it a bittersweet night. "It's difficult for me to be here, losing a dear friend Robin Williams. I know we'll all miss him."

One Direction, Muse and Spice Girls set for Olympics Closing Ceremony
Harry Styles
One Direction, Muse and the Spice Girls will head up a bumper night of entertainment at the London 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony.
Obviously hoping to make as much of a splash as Danny Boyle's mammoth Opening Ceremony, LOCOG have signed up a whole host of stars to perform on Sunday night.
Former X Factor contestants turned global superstars One Direction are just one of the acts that have been signed up.
Reportedly the One Thing singers have been given their own moving island for a five-minute cameo in the show.
Harry, Zayn, Liam, Niall and Louis will perform their hit What Makes You Beautiful from a carnival-like flat-bed truck, moving around the athletics track at Stratford's Olympic Stadium.
An insider revealed to the Daily Mirror: "It's all hush-hush and the boys have been sworn to secrecy.
"But they've been at rehearsals and can't wait to do their bit. It will be an unforgettable occasion and they feel privileged to be a part of it."
The Spice Girls will be reforming for one night only, despite reported squabbles between Victoria Beckham, Mel B and Geri Halliwell.
Recently Victoria teased fans by tweeting a photo of a sparkly microphone with the caption: "Look what I found! x VB".
According to The Mirror their set is said to be "absolutely ingenious" and will see them perform their debut hit Wannabe.
Muse, Madness, The Who and the Pet Shop Boys have been added to the bill, which will see the very best in British music perform in the bumper concert.
Reportedly the performers have been rehearsing for eight hours a day for the past eight days straight in a bid to ensure that the gig tops Danny Boyle's Opening Ceremony.
Although Take That were scheduled to make an appearance, this has been put into doubt following the tragic loss of Gary Barlow's daughter Poppy who was born stillborn.
Their space may be filled by Kate Bush, who could be making a surprise comeback appearance too, after a remix of her track Running Up That Hill appeared on Amazon.
The page, which has since been taken down, showed the 2012 reworking available for download to coincide with the August 12 ceremony.

Using SQL Sever 2008 Database Extended Properties to Automate Database Management Tasks
Jun 12
Instance Administration No Comments
Written by Luis Miguel – Originally published on June 12, 2011
Like any manual process, adding users to databases and setting their permissions on more than a few databases is a tedious and error-prone endeavor. By creating a couple of "admin" stored procedures, a DBA can automate this process to the point of being able to execute this task in one fell swoop, at the query editor by typing a few words just once.
If you care for documentation [I do], SQL Server Extended Properties are very convenient when it comes to adding tags, or labels to objects. I particularly find very useful to mark databases with notes that describe their purpose or their level of security sensitivity, etc…
Once you have a standard for these documentation tags and you keep them updated they can be a huge helper for performing database administration tasks very effectively.
Here is a list of the components I'm using to build this solution. I'm keeping all these administrative objects in the (I hope this name is descriptive enough) UTILTY_ADMIN user database
1 – The table to keep a list of the databases that are currently online and have a some kind of Extended Property
USE utility_admin
CREATE TABLE extendedproperties
dbname VARCHAR(255),
ep_name VARCHAR(128),
ep_value VARCHAR(128)
2 – The stored procedure that does the brunt of the work, querying the Extended Properties of each database and storing them in the UTILITY_ADMIN.dbo.ExtendedProperties table
USE utility_admin
CREATE PROCEDURE Getextendedproperties @DatabaseName VARCHAR(255) = NULL
IF @DatabaseName IS NULL
SET @DatabaseName = Db_name()
DECLARE @SQLText NVARCHAR(2000)
IF Object_id(N'tempdb.dbo.##temp_ExtendedProperties') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE ##temp_extendedproperties
CREATE TABLE ##temp_extendedproperties
ep_name VARCHAR(128),
ep_value VARCHAR(128)
SET @SQLText =
'INSERT INTO ##temp_ExtendedProperties SELECT CAST(name AS VARCHAR(128)), CAST(value AS VARCHAR(128)) FROM '
+ @databasename +
'.sys.fn_listextendedproperty(default, default, default, default, default, default, default)'
-- That is 7 defaults
3 – An SQL Server Agent job that runs every hour so that the list of databases with extended properties stays up to date
TRUNCATE TABLE utility_admin.dbo.extendedproperties
EXEC MASTER.sys.Sp_msforeachdb
'INSERT INTO utility_admin.dbo.ExtendedProperties EXEC utility_admin.dbo.GetExtendedProperties ?'
4 – UTILTIY_ADMIN.dbo.dbaManageUserRole – This is the stored procedure you are going to execute to actually add the user and set his/her permissions. It requires three parameters, the name of the user, the name of the extended property and the value of the extended property. I have hardwired the db_datareader role into this procedure but with a little bit of imagination you could also add the role as a parameter and make it even more flexible.
CREATE PROCEDURE Dbamanageuserrole @user VARCHAR(64),
@ep_name VARCHAR(128),
@ep_value VARCHAR(128)
DECLARE @dbname VARCHAR(128)
DECLARE @adduser VARCHAR(512)
DECLARE @addrole VARCHAR(512)
DECLARE dbcursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT dbname
FROM utility_admin.dbo.extendedproperties
WHERE ep_name = @ep_name
AND ep_value = @ep_value
OPEN dbcursor
FETCH NEXT FROM dbcursor INTO @dbname
SET @adduser = 'USE ' + @dbname + '; CREATE USER ' + @user +
SET @addrole = 'USE ' + @dbname +
'; EXEC sp_addrolemember N"db_datareader", ' + @user
FETCH NEXT FROM dbcursor INTO @dbname
CLOSE dbcursor
DEALLOCATE dbcursor
Now we are ready to enjoy the rewards of our hard work time and time again. Here is the command I used to add the user 'canela' as a 'db_datareader' to all the databases I have tagged with 'application_' 'reporting_'
EXEC Dbamanageuserrole
Here is a picture of one of my lab servers showing a long list of dummy databases on the left pane and a shorter result list of the ones with extended properties on the bottom right side.

Re: Request for Collective Wisdom...
When defining a new function, have two windows open:
one for building up the new function, and the other for trying out code to make sure it works before adding it to the function window. Don't try to do everything in one window. Seems wasteful at first but it's an enormous time saver in the long run.

Discussion in 'TiVo Series3 HDTV DVRs' started by SnakeEyes, Apr 6, 2012.
How long should this take on a TiVo HD?
What size hard drive does it have in it?
Original drive. That's like 160GB, right?
Yeah if you never swapped it out. It shouldnt take very long then, maybe 30 minutes to an hour. Last time I did it, I cleared out all the season passes and everything out of the deleted folder first and it didnt take very long. If it's a 1TB or 2TB it can take a long long time. How long has it been going for?
I didn't clear everything out first, went right to clear and delete everything in settings. It's been approx an hour and 20 min.
I bet it will be done soon. I wouldnt worry about it just yet.
Less than an hour. I just did a CD&E of a 320GB drive in an old S2 and it took about an hour.
I know it gets confusing and overwhelming when threads go on and on for 7 responses, but if you look at post number 3, you'll see the answer.
Looking for help and advice... I foolishly selected this option as I wanted to default my XL and sell it since I upgraded to Premier. The XL has lifetime. Nothing was on the screen so after 90 minutes or so I pulled the plug. When I power up with nothing attached to it, gets stuck on the wait a few minutes more screen. Tivo asks why I selected that option and that I shouldn't have unless tech support advised to do it (why is it there then?!). So it appears that I am faced with a $250 hard drive replacement, only to turn around and hopefully to net $300 if I sell it.
Maybe I should just offer as is and someone get fix it and then they get the lifetime.
Thoughts/ideas? Makes me rethinking putting lifetime on my two new Premiers - Even at $400 it's @30 month payback. I know if I resell it's all good but if the unit breaks - well not so good.
Did you try to reboot it, then use the kickstart 57 code? Then try the kickstart 54 code to test the hard drive? If you were not having a problem with the hard drive before I doubt its went out and needs to be replaced. Worst case scenario you might just have to re-image the hard drive.
Interrupting a clear and delete can't be good. How long have you left it plugged in after the oops? Maybe it takes some time for the Tivo to realize it's in the middle of a C&D?
If you have to re-image and have access to a Windows PC, use WinMFS and an image from this thread (if you can't find it, ask) to restore to the hard drive.
I think that would be the easiest way to go.
You might also try kickstart 52 or 56.
Thanks for the replies. I had not tried a kickstart code - I must have missed that in my searching. Surprised the Weakknees didn't suggest it when I asked about my issue. I tried 57 and 54 last night - seemed to run, the hard drive test yielded no issues but still doesn't work.
Question - is there a backup copy on Tivo Harddrives? e.g. - should I try 52 or 56 first. One would conceivable be local and the other has to be downloaded from the internet.
Seems like the Tivo software needs to be reloaded to work again....
OK, I tried 52 and 56 to no avail - sounds like I need to replace the hard drive. Crazy question - could I just buy a used XL off of eBay and move the hard drive over to my unit which has lifetime? I don't really understand how lifetime is tagged to a particular Tivo but this method would obviously be a lot cheaper than buying a new hard drive. Obviously this presumes that the hard drive is really the issue.
Lifetime is tied to the TSN, which is in a chip on the MB, so using a drive out of another HD XL would work. In addition, it would give you a source for spare parts.
Having said that, you might consider taking the drive out, connecting it to your computer, and running diagnostics on it. You should also visually inspect the power supply capacitors, to see if they look swollen.
You might just need to use your computer to reload the s/w. Seeing as how you were planning to sell it anyway, this would be the best option.
I doubt if clearing everything killed the drive itself, the most you may have to do is put a new image on the drive. I bet if you install a new image it will work just fine. And it's free to try.
Whoops! Didn't notice you suggested a fresh OS load.
Thank you for the additional input. I converted over to Mac so I'm not sure I have the means to do a fresh OS load - looks a little daunting (even to this technical guy). Sounds like finding a reasonably priced used one (w/o Lifetime) might be the way to go.

text: Hey guys, newby here. I tried searching google, but didn't come up with much in terms of my problem. I bought a 05 cts-v cheap with a few small issues. One of these issues is that the right front wheel sensor is blinking at 21psi, and the tire pressure alert light is on. I checked all the tires, and ironically, the left rear was at 21psi, and seems it has a nail in it :nono: Anyways, after airing up, there is no change in the tpms, and the tpms did not show the left rear tire as being low to begin with. So, where should I start? Please keep in mind that the dealer is the LAST place i want to go. :bouncy:

The Developers' Toolkit for Tru64 UNIX is a prerequisite for all
Tru64 UNIX development tools, and languages. It includes the
following tools:
» An ANSI
compliant C Compiler
The Porting Assistant
Visual Threads
» The Ladebug
and dbx Debuggers
» The
Hiprof, Third Degree, and Pixie Profiling and Program Analysis Tools
» The
cord and om
Procedure Reordering Tools
Graphical Program Analysis Tools
» The ATOM API
» Take a test
The C Compiler
The Developers' Toolkit C Compiler is an ANSI-compliant implementation of the
C programming language. It is distinguished by clear comprehensive warnings and
error messages, support for the broadest choice of C dialects, including: strict
ANSI, relaxed ANSI, K&R, Microsoft Compatibility, C9x and VAX C, and switches
that give you granular control over compiler messages or "noise." The Compiler
features the Industry leading GEM code generation technology. GEM provides
extensive code optimization and enables your application to exploit the 64-bit
power of Alpha.
The Compiler supports a full range of data types and pragmas. It also
supports Tru64 UNIX inline-assembly code providing direct access to all Alpha
machine code instructions and privileged architecture library calls.
Porting Assistant
Porting Assistant is an integrated set of graphical tools that
reduce the time and expense of porting your C, C++ and FORTRAN
applications to the high performance, 64-bit, Tru64 UNIX operating
system. You can port applications from HP-UX, IBM AIX, Sun OS,
Solaris, ULTRIX or OpenVMS. The Porting Assistant recommends an
efficient sequence of steps for your port and analyzes source files
to identify 32-bit dependencies, platform specific assumptions and
any changes required for the application to run on Tru64 UNIX. If
your application needs to run on several different UNIX
platforms, you will benefit greatly from the Porting Assistant,
which helps you develop "standard," easily portable code.
Visual Threads
HP's unique
Visual Threads tool helps you analyze and refine multi-threaded
applications. It helps you optimize multi-threaded
applications that use POSIX threads or Java, and push Symmetric
Multi-Processing (SMP) systems to the max!
The Ladebug and dbx Debuggers
The Ladebug Debugger helps
you identify bugs in programs. It provides extensive support for C, C++, and
Fortran (both -77 and -90) programs, and limited support for Cobol and Ada
programs. A distinct advantage of the Ladebug debugger is its support for the
Tru64 UNIX implementation of POSIX threads.
The dbx debugger helps you identify bugs in programs. It provides extensive
support for C programs, and limited support for Fortran-77 and Pascal programs.
The Ladebug debugger will be replacing dbx in a future Tru64 UNIX release.
The hiprof, Third Degree, and pixie
Program Analysis Tools
The hiprof (pronounced hi-prof), pixie and Third Degree program analysis
tools help you write efficient programs.
The hiprof tool is a call graph profiler. It visually shows you the
amount of CPU time utilized by each primary procedure and the subsequent
procedures they call. Using hiprof, you can easily identify portions of
code that take the longest to run and could be streamlined to make your program
more efficient.
The Third Degree program analysis tool profiles heap-memory for programs
written in C and C++. It helps you identify three memory bugs: memory leaks,
reading un-initialized memory and accessing an invalid memory address. Left
undetected these bugs can significantly degrade system performance, cause your
program to return erroneous data or terminate.
The pixie profiler tool counts the number of times each
instruction in a program is executed. You can then feed this
profiling data to either the cord or
reordering tools.
and om Reordering Tools
These tools reorder your program's procedures so that the most frequently
executed instructions are stored in the fast memory cache, rather than main
memory. This minimizes instruction cache misses, greatly improving the speed of
your application.
Graphical Program Analysis
The four graphical program analysis tools provide intuitive Graphical User
Interfaces (GUIs) that make it easy to analyze your program for efficiency,
memory bugs, and utilization of shared resources. They include:
The Heap Analyzer gives you a graphical interface for the heap-memory
profiling capabilities of Third Degree, making it easy to analyze your program
for memory bugs.
The Profiler gives you a convenient graphical interface to the hiprof, pixie,
and PC-sampling profilers and helps you select the most appropriate tool based
on the data you want to collect (the PC-sampling tool is included with the Tru64
UNIX operating system and produces a statistical CPU-time profile of your
program by sampling the Program Counter at regular intervals). Using the
Profiler, you can improve the efficiency and speed of your program.
Mview tells you how your program uses memory, by graphically portraying the
memory blocks it allocates over a period of time. Even if your program has no
memory leaks, Mview can help you pin point inefficient uses of memory
which adversely affect your application.
Pview tells you what processes are running in your program and provides
information on those processes and the resources they're utilizing. You can see
how multiple processes vie for shared resources, for example, you can identify
if process A is using too much memory or CPU time, while process B is still
waiting to execute.
For those who prefer a complete graphical development environment, HP offers
DEC FUSE. DEC FUSE builds on the Developers' Toolkit for Tru64 UNIX, letting you
create, compile, debug and tune programs without using the UNIX command line
interface or writing shell scripts! DEC FUSE is easier to use than the UNIX
command line interface and dramatically simplifies application development.
In addition to its arsenal of tools, the Developers' Toolkit for Tru64 UNIX
lets you create your own simple or sophisticated tools using ATOM. ATOM uses the
target application program, an instrumentation file and an analysis file to
create a new executable, that when run collects analysis data for a wide variety
of purposes.
You create your tool by writing two sets of C routines, an
instrumentation file and an analysis file. In the
instrumentation file, you use the ATOM API to specify where calls to
analysis file routines should be inserted in an application. A
single call to an ATOM routine will automatically regenerate the
subsequent modified executable! In the analysis file, you write
routines which are called, at runtime, by instructions ATOM
previously inserted in the executable. These routines run in the
background of the application and analyze it for attributes like
quality and performance. While ATOM greatly expedites tool creation,
you have vast flexibility in designing the scope of the tool. HP has
created several tools with ATOM, including hiprof, pixie and Third

The minor miracle that is Exeter whetted their appetite for Heineken Cup rugby by stunning the English champions, coming from being undeservedly behind to wrap things up with two tries in three minutes from centre and midfield inspiration Jason Shoemark, before replacement Sireli Naqelevuki rubbed salt in to Harlequins' wounds with a fifth Chiefs try of the afternoon.
Three points down with 16 minutes to go, after an interception had put Harlequins back in front, the New Zealander, Shoemark, first worked his way into the right corner after a clever offload from fellow centre Phil Dollman before cruising over next to the posts. Long before then, Harlequins had summoned the likes of Danny Care and Joe Marler – being saved for Europe and Biarritz next week – from the bench, but Exeter kept their nerve and Naqelevuki wrapped things up with a spring down the right.
Next for Exeter come the European champions, Leinster, in Dublin, followed by the great Heineken wannabies, Clermont Auvergne, who went into the weekend as French league leaders. After Leicester last week, life does not get much tougher, but Exeter's head coach, Rob Baxter, continues to insist that this is how he likes it. "I don't think many teams would like to stand in front of us the way we played today," said Baxter. "I don't think it's giving our game plan away to say we'll have a go at them."
Not so long ago such ambition would have surprised, but when the sun is out and the ground firm Exeter can be a handful for even champions and for 20 minutes Harlequins did not know what had hit them. Gareth Steenson, once considered only a kicking fly-half, broke up the left and it should have come as no surprise when full-back Luke Arscott ran Mike Brown's panicky clearance back at him. What did surprise was that, when the ball went wide, it was a prop, Brett Sturgess, who provided the overlap.
On another day, Exeter might have expected to be running away with the game. Brown was forced to make a string of try-saving tackles on both sides of the field and Steenson was kicking everything that came his way. But instead of leading at the interval Exeter went in two points down. First Nick Evans charged down Steenson under the posts and got to the ricochet firstthen, in one of the rare moments of Quins pressure, Exeter were stretched left and right before Ugo Monye popped up in midfield and stretched out of the tackle and for a second try.
Even when flanker Ben White popped over early in the second half, Harlequins bounced back immediately, replacement Rory Clegg intercepting and putting scrum-half Karl Dickson in. It looked as though Harlequins might notch an unlikely victory before Shoemark, so often the provider, turned scorer.

Ar15 lowers. In stock 3 week shipping
Placed order, called up and spoke to them, he assured me it will be shipped within 3 weeks.
Tread carefully. Unknown variables appear in unproven platforms.
A friend built on this lower. He prefers it over his spikes. And I love my spikes.
I'm not trying to unfairly knock it; but one person that just used it as a build doesn't mean a whole lot unless he's got extensive use with it in the form of extensive firing (several thousands of rounds overall, 500+ rounds in a day, etc etc) and extended use and abuse, with constant monitoring and confirmation of integrity and durability of the component.
My point is that you're dealing with a company that does not have a reputation. You can buy a BCM or Noveske lower and know you're getting a great lower, because they're companies that are a known product. When you deal with a company like this Code Red, what do you know about their company? Their QC and QA procedures? What grade of components do they use? Who supplies their forgings? Do they farm out, or do they do their own finishing machining? If they do their own machining, when do they change their dies?
Just something to think about. Since the rise of AR popularity a couple years ago, there's been a constant stream of new manufacturers popping up everywhere trying to get in on it. 90% of them get their parts from the same place, and many of them will settle for sub-optimal components to meet production demands. To be perfectly honest, more than half of the AR manufacturers that exist do not deserve to exist. There are a lot of people with machining experience or that just like guns that have jumped on the AR bandwagon to make a name for themselves. Many are jokes. The only reason why I like these companies that pop up out of nowhere is that they distract unsuspecting buyers who are looking for the next great thing, and that way it makes the wait time less for people like me who want to buy components from top end companies.
Is Code Red one of these companies? I don't know....and that's what concerns me. The fact that there is so little information offered on their website is a red flag.
All just food for thought when evaluating this purchase. Some companies do come out and surprise people by being good companies. However, those companies are very open and do their work to build their reputation. There are a couple brands that I would gladly shoot that few have heard of, but these companies have established a reputation through their own hard ethical work and dedication to quality. I am always just leery of new companies that pop up that don't offer up this information, and thus they are an unknown variable.
I also find it odd that Code Red is in Florida, but the picture of he lower shows a manufacturer in Detroit.
any update?

A North Ogden woman died Tuesday when a pickup truck she was riding in rolled on Interstate 80 in Iowa.
The Iowa State Patrol (ISP) identified the victim as Kathleen Kariya, 64. Glen Kariya, 59, also of North Ogden, was seriously injured.
ISP said the accident occurred about 12:10 a.m. in Jasper County when the westbound 2012 GMC pickup truck, driven by Linda Arita, 61, of Roland Heights, Calif., swerved off the roadway and crashed.
Arita also was seriously injured, ISP said.
Arita and Glen Kariya were both wearing seatbelts, ISP reported, but Kathleen Kariya was not.
The cause of the crash was under investigation.

What Does Your Lipstick Say About You ?
Ever hear of the lipstick index?
It's the theory that lipstick is an economic barometer. Hmmm, cosmetics predicting finance… maybe. But one thing we know for sure is that the way you apply your lipstick can predict key personality traits.
Need proof? Reach into your bag, pull out your lipstick and compare it's tip to the seven most common shapes of used lipsticks, which are listed below. Then let us know how closely your personality matches up!
One steep angle: The Power Broker
She is self-confident, well-balanced, conscientious, and has a love for detail. With her drive and ingenuity, she gets over every hurdle. She has a perfect memory, doesn't bear grudges, and is always the center of attention in her circle of friends. In her life, everything always goes steeply upwards, just like the shape of her lipstick. So she is not the type of woman whose place is in the kitchen – nobody can control her.
One concave angle: The Diva
She's creative, energetic and outgoing. While it may be her appearance – or volume — that gets her noticed, she does possess true and rare talents which will keep her in the spot light. She won't take 'no' for an answer and isn't afraid to take risks, even if there's good chance they won't pay off. She's is always driving forward at a hard, fast pace, and regardless if she achieves the outcome she's seeking, she'll definitely leave an impression, much like the way she indents her lipstick.
Curved angles on both sides: The Daredevil
She is daring, imaginative and very sensual, a creative type with lots of spirit and a strong personality. She loves surprises and a varied life, and her lipstick looks just as adventurous. Worn down equally on both sides, it looks like the mouthpiece of a whistle. She couldn't care less about conventions and goes her own individual way.
Flat top: The Diplomat
She has a carefree disposition, she is eloquent… a born diplomat. Friends often ask her for advice, because she is a good listener and always gets to the heart of things. She handles her lipstick just as straightforwardly as she goes through her life. It is worn off flat and reliably. Women do not consider her a competitor, and men do not consider her a sex object – no matter how pretty she looks.
Concave flat top: The Sensual Empath
She is sensitive, thoughtful and reserved. Her passion flourishes undetected, and in her dream world, everything is much more beautiful than in reality. She looks for understanding, friendship, and closeness, but quite often, she is disappointed. Her desire for an intimate relationship is also reflected in the firm pressure on her lipstick which shows a clear concave-hollowed tip. Big romantic words, poems and charming lyric poetry make her a passionate lover.
Rounded top: Femme Véritable
She is gentle, feminine, and has a deep need for peace and harmony. Everybody feels at ease in her company, because she is has no rough edges – she simply is a marvelous lover, an excellent cook, and a loving wife. Everything in her life proceeds in a purposeful and planned manner, because she leaves nothing to chance. Not even the shape of her used lipstick, which is also perfectly round and smooth. – Tarte

Sometimes Teaching Is a Day at the Beach
SEAS Community Initiative
Empowering First Nation Youth
Today, we sit down with Johanna Gordon-Walker, the full-time SEAS coordinator in the small coastal community of Bella Bella, British Columbia, who was recently honored with the award for Outstanding K–12 Teacher by the Canadian Network for Environmental Education and Communication (EECOM).
"Kids don't think of it
as learning when they're
outside exploring,
but it is"
- Johanna Gordon-Walker, SEAS Instructor
Congratulations on your recent award! Tell us about it.
Johanna Gordon-Walker:
Well, I think I was nominated by one of my colleagues who helped organize this spring's Central Coast teacher's conference. We started the conference two years ago to connect teachers from a number of remote B.C. Coastal communities. During the conference, educators—many of them new to the region—have the chance to network and share ideas and resources that can help build successful programs. It was a nice surprise when the EECOM called to say I won the award for outstanding K-12 teacher! I thought it was inspiring that someone had noticed our unique program.
What's so great about SEAS?
Johanna Gordon-Walker:
The program really gets kids excited about learning outdoors and lets teachers take lessons 'outside the box.' The curriculum can also expand beyond science to include lessons in all types of subjects like reading, writing and traditional knowledge. For example, we did a unit on wolves this winter where 6th and 7th graders got to explore the species through science activities — like measuring and comparing wolf metrics to human equivalents…How far can they smell? How much do they weigh? How much territory do they use? Tying the learning back to kids' everyday lives, we closed the unit with students brainstorming action plans for issues that impact wolves and other species in the Great Bear Rainforest.
What is your favorite part of your job?
Johanna Gordon-Walker:
Being outside with the kids. It takes a lot of work and organization, but is so rewarding. Kids don't think of it as learning when they're outside exploring, but it is. SEAS also offers opportunities for kids who might not otherwise get much of a chance to explore their traditional territory. Some of my favorite activities are taking students on nature walks in the forest and the annual trip to see the herring spawning.
Has SEAS made an impact in the community?
Johanna Gordon-Walker:
Absolutely. Some of our goals are so long-term that it's challenging to see a difference in just three years, but I do notice a change in the students and families. More and more community groups are organizing opportunities for students and families to get out and explore the land. In fact, this year, the Bella Bella Community School is proud to be taking part in Canada's "Take Me Outside Day" where students at participating schools will spend at least one hour of the day outside. Our project is an outdoor art gallery that takes classroom learning to the beach; here kids and teachers will construct artworks out of the natural materials they find. Some classes are so excited about the project that they plan to spend the whole day outside. It just goes to show that once you start giving people the opportunity they'll take it on as their own.

The charity Oxfam made a big splash on Monday with a report saying that the richest 62 people in the world had the same wealth as half of the world's population. Not only that but the richest 1 per cent of the world's population owned as much in 2015 as the rest of the 99 per cent put together.
You have to admire Oxfam's communication skills. This is the third year it has put out such a release, it is timed impeccably to coincide with the world's plutocrats living the high life at the World Economic Forum in Davos, and mainstream media is far from bored. Google news currently shows 385 write-ups of Oxfam's press release. Read more

Machinery onboard ships require regular care and maintenance so that their working life and efficiency can be increased, and the cost of operation, which includes unnecessary breakdowns and spares, can be reduced. For different types of machinery and systems, different measuring tools, instruments and gauges are used on ship.
Measuring instruments and gauges are used to measure various parameters such as clearance, diameter, depth, ovality, trueness etc. These are important engineering parameters which describes the condition of the working machinery.
Popular mechanical gauges and tools used on ships are:
Ruler and scales: They are used to measure lengths and other geometrical parameters. They can be single steel plate or flexible tape type tool.
Callipers: They are normally of two types- inside and outside calliper. They are used to measure internal and external size (for e.g. diameter) of an object. It requires external scale to compare the measured value. Some callipers are provided with measuring scale. Other types are odd leg and divider calliper.
Vernier calliper: It is a precision tool used to measure a small distance with high accuracy. It has got two different jaws to measure outside and inside dimension of an object.It can be a scale, dial or digital type vernier calliper.
Micrometer: It is a fine precision tool which is used to measure small distances and is more accurate than the venire calliper. Another type is a large micrometer calliper which is used to measure large outside diameter or distance.
Feeler gauge: Feelers gauges are a bunch of fine thickened steel strips with marked thickness which are used to measure gap width or clearance between surface and bearings.
Telescopic feeler gauge: It is also known as tongue gauge and it consists of long feeler gauge inside a cover with tongue or curved edge. The long feeler strips protrude out of the cover so that it can be inserted in to remote places where feeler gauge access is not possible.
Poker gauge: This gauge is used to measure propeller stern shaft clearance, also known as propeller wear down.
Bridge gauge: Bridge gauges are used to measure the amount of wear of Main engine bearing. Normally the upper bearing keep is removed and clearance is measured with respect to journal. Feeler gauge can be used to complete the process.
Liner measurement tool: Liner measurement tool is a set of straight assembled rod with marked length in each set. It is used to measure the wear down or increase in the diameter of the engine liner.
American Wire Gauge: American wire gauge or AWG is a standard tool which is circular in shape and has various slots of different diameter in its circumference. It is used to measure cross section of an electric cable or wire.
Bore Gauge: A tool to accurately measure size of any hole is known as bore gauge, It can be a scale, dial or digital type instrument.
Depth gauge: A depth gauge is used to measure the depth of a slot, hole or any other surface of an object. It can be of scale, dial or digital type.
Angle plate or tool: It is a right angle plate or tool used to measure the true right angle of two objects joined together.
Flat plate: Flat plate is a précised flat surface used to measure flatness of an object when it is kept over the flat plate.
Dial Gauge: Dial gauge is utilised in different tools as stated above and can be separately used to measure the trueness of the circular object, jumping of an object etc.
Lead Wire: It is a conventional method to used soft lead wire or lead balls to measure the wear down or clearance between two mating surfaces. The lead wire or balls of fixed dimension is kept between two surfaces and both are tightened against each just as in normal condition. The increase in the width of the lead wire or ball will shoe the clearance or wear down.
These are some of the main tools that are used onboard ship. If you feel we have missed any important tool, then let us know and we will add it in the list.

Basketball superstar Kevin Durant has been weighing in on the NFL and getting grief for his QB ratings.
Folks are coming at me hard on twitter right now for saying I don't think Mike Vick is a top 5 QB right now. In no order, I have Peyton, Brady, Big Ben, Drew Brees, Phillip Rivers, and Aaron Rodgers ahead of Vick. Then another dude tried to say Cam Newton is a better than Phillip Rivers already! SMH!!! I love Vick and Cam and cheer for them, but I gotta be honest about the best at this moment.
Durant made his original comment on his Twitter account. He did say Vick was a top 10 guy.

staff was great, food was superb, place is really nice cost
Oceanfront property, very nice spa that allows all guests to use its facilities regardless of whether not you book their services the restaurant quality and choices are very limited
From the moment you arrive till the moment you leave they make you feel like royalty without any stuffiness. They go above and beyond even bringing our dog treats and realizing that my wife was pregnant brought us a cupcake with blue and pink frosting along with a bottle of non-alcoholic cider to our room. Herna at the front desk was a delight. Nothing
Very quite and relaxing place. Great ocean frond location with residential area(mid rise) residential surroundings. Attentive service in understated aesthetically pleasing surroundings. Beachfront bar/coffee shop a great place for lunch but very limited menu. Restaurant more than adequate but not outstanding. Hardly anything. You need a car to get around but you must use valet parking,at inflated rates,though the parking is on the sides of the hotel close and easily accessible.
The hotel property is right on the beach, and the beach staff is friendly and accommodating, periodically bringing guests complimentary smoothies and frozen grapes and oranges. The pool area is lovely and well-kept, as are the dining rooms. The rooms are comfortable and luxurious. The breakfast buffet, though expensive, is delicious, ample and very fresh. For a hotel of this caliber there was some unevenness in the staff. On certain days at the beach, the staff was available and responsive; on others they were entirely absent, and it was difficult to get anyone's attention. The outside dining areas, though lovely, were crowded, and every morning we had to wait 10-15 mins to be seated outdoors. When we first arrived, no doubt because we booked a "bargain" room through Kayak ($500/night as opposed to the $1,000 rack rate on the Four Seasons website), we were given a room with a direct view of the beach bar kitchen, together with smells and noises from the vent. We asked that the room be changed, and it was, though again we were given one of their less desirable rooms. I suppose most unfortunate was that when we asked, on our last day, for a late checkout - even offering to pay something for the privilege - we were told, icily, that the hotel could not accommodate us - not even for an hour - because of our "room category" (meaning, no doubt, the "cheapie" Kayak rate). The hotel was quite clearly not full, and as an experienced traveler, I know this would have been an easy accommodation for the hotel to make. Instead I left with a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.
The staff is awesome , very friendly and professional.
The hotel was great. We booked it through KAYAK at a great rate for a room with a limited ocean view. When we arrived we were upgraded to a larger room with full oceanfront views at the same rate. The hotel is beautiful and the staff were friendly and attentive.
Standard high quality four seasons service. nearly every employee asks how you are doing, is everything meeting your expectations, is there anything they can do to improve your stay, etc etc. One small mistake was made by a wait staff person (they forgot chicken on a salad) - it wasn't a big deal to us, but he acknowledged it, apologized profusely, had his manager come apologize, and they comped our meal which was very nice. very comfortable bed. - shower leaked onto the floor, sink faucet handle leaked water - aesthetic was rather drab at the hotel - didn't feel like 'palm beach' - no color, no pattern, no quirkiness or preppy style...faded olive umbrellas, exterior of building facing the beach looked run-down, pool was function-only (not much to look at) - location is good if you want beach-access but pretty far from the hedges and billionaires row that is quintessential PB - lots of kids in the pool. We were there in early January when school is out so this probably skewed the ratio but the first day we walked out to the pool it had lots of kids in it. We were hoping for something a bit more relaxing/serene as we were taking a vacation away from our own kids for a few days of R&R. - gym was in the basement...wish it had been with a nice view overall it could be great, but just needs a facelift in terms of design
Food options were too limited for children.
La ubicación es perfecta y ofrece tanto acceso directo al mar como a la piscina. El personal fue muy servicial y atento. Tengo muchas ganas de volver.
Limpio y cómodo con un toque elegante Pagar 30 dólares para aparcar mi coche de alquiler
I loved the charming unique decor and genuinely friendly kind staff. Location was wonderful!! The red robes were so pretty and unusual candy in the room a fun surprise
Food and room and turndown service Excellent
The common area decor was very pleasing. No bedside table, no directions as to where things were in the hotel upon arrival (like the elevator, which was down a hall) or that complimentary coffee was In the lobby every morning (Ie no coffee maker on the room), no info on Palm Beach in the room, dirty bathroom(my barefeet stuck to the floor) with no shampoo, someone else's hair in the drain, no morning paper, room next to outdoor seating for the restaurant so very noisy, music from function room until 1 am, loud air conditioner next to the bed so cold air blew on you all night.
Me encanta la habitación. El personal era muy atento. La habitación era agradable y limpia. El ambiente era tranquilo y bonito Quería probar el restaurante. El chef es Daniel Boloud, un chef muy conocido. La comida estaba bien, pero no fue una experiencia memorable. Lo único que me pareció extremadamente bueno eran los Madeleines. Eso fue lo mejor. El resto, era bueno, pero sólo bueno. Me esperaba mucho más.
que la relacion precio calidad esta conseguida y que el dueño o director un chico sueco fue muy atento hab un poco pequeña
Limpio. Aburrido decoración - sin adornos. Bien para una noche - asequibles.
bien ubicado, pero podria ser mas economico, por lo que fui pagando en otros lados. la habitacion muy pequena
I stayed at this hotel for the Sunfest festival held on the waterfront in downtown West Palm Beach. I loved that hotel offered free shuttle service to/from the festival at any time between 10 am and 12:20 pm. This meant we could come & go as we pleased without having to wait more than 10-15 for a shuttle. We also utilized the free shuttle service to Cityplace for a nice dinner out as well. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly & pleasant (front desk clerks, breakfast servers, shuttle drivers, and bartenders). Also, we liked the free happy hour from 5-7 each night and the amazing free breakfast. The breakfast wasn't your standard cereal, yogurt, toast breakfast either, but made-to-order omelets, pancakes, bacon, fresh fruit, etc. So to summarize, we got free shuttle service, free breakfast, and free drinks at happy hour, all while dealing with an enjoyable staff and a beautiful room. We'll be coming back next year for sure!
On top of many other noteworthy accommodations, the complimentary snack/drink reception and breakfast were superb! The location itself is not too ideal other than for transportation purposes, as it is right next to the airport and not far from the transit center.
The service was awesome. Breakfast was excellent. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. Victor (one of the chefs) makes a mean omelet! We would definitely stay there again.
Very clean rooms, very friendly staff, free happy hour and great breakfast. Convenient to the airport with free shuttle. Very enjoyable stopover!
The room was very clean and modern. The free breakfast buffet was great, just get there before 8:30am because that's when the crowd starts to come in. Didn't have time to check out the rest of the facilities since we were only there for one night for a volleyball tournament. I would stay at this hotel again if I was in the area.
I loved everything about the hotel from the room to the staff to the complimentary food, drinks, etc The elevators were extremely slow and breakfast should atleast be extrnded to 11am
Breakfast / bed Mold in bathroom caulking room 504 / shower design poor and not fitted correctly with water spraying everywhere / trash on roof looking north
La ubicación era buena, la habitación era amplia. No hay bichos que viera... Tocador y nevera... Precio un poco mucho.. La decoración era bla bla... Tenía algo de olor a moho viejo...
El hotel estaba limpio, la cama era cómoda. Fue una estancia breve pero satisfizo nuestras necesidades muy bien.
Segunda vez que me he alojado, el personal es amable, el buffet era muy bueno. Servicios, microondas, nevera, etc. Muy tranquilo y limpio. N/A
The ability to walk to everything. Great staff
The food was excellent, the room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Because of the lobby remodeling it is not clear where to go to check in.
The staff was very friendly and rooms were very nice. Even tho check out was at 11 I still got to check out later and no extra cost and the maids didn't rush me at all. I didn't like that the parking lot gets really full and I had the park far away from the entrance
Location Popcorn ceilings. Feels like it needs an update
Me encantó la habitación de estilo suite. Era muy cómoda. También me encantó la ubicación. A poca distancia a pie de todo el centro y la costa.
El hotel estaba limpio y era tranquilo Tipo de habitación por el precio.
La ubicación, el personal era fantástico. La habitación olía a rancio y un poco a humo. Colchón viejo y blando. Y el cabezal chirriaba como los que cuestan 10 dólares
Muy buenos servicios y personal estupendo La habitación estaba fría (sin control de temperatura para los clientes)
Habitación espaciosa. La cama era cómoda. Gran desayuno. Personal antipático. Habitación nunca fue hecha a pesar de las múltiples peticiones. El baño era pequeño. Piscina cubierta.
Cama Personal
La recepción fue servicial e informativa. La ducha no tenía agua caliente
Los lugares alrededor de la Ramada No fue una estancia muy cómoda
Los empleados eran fenomenales
El desayuno continental está por encima de la media. La habitación estaba limpia y era bastante moderna. Camas cómodas, almohadas de plumas suaves. Personal atento y cortés. El aire acondicionado tardó mucho en enfriar la habitación. La televisión era muy pequeña, no había ni nevera ni microondas
Es un hotel chico, muy confortable para pasar un fin de semana tranquilo.Me dio la impresion de estar en un hotel nuevo. Esta lejos de la mayoria de los puntos de interes de Palm Beach, pero no dejaria de volver por este tema.
Muy buena la relacion precio calidad.Impecables las habitaciones Muy bueno
Muy buena opcion para conocer Palm Beach. Exelentes servicios. Muy buen desayuno, linda picina, muy buena la habiltacion. A pocos pasos de la playa. Estacionamiento e internet sin cargo. Muy recomendable.
desayuno incluido, buena limpieza
The desk clerk that attended to us was Daniel. He responded in a professional, friendly and courteous manner. He was made for this position. He made the difference in our stay and I am honored to have met him.
There was almost no street noise. The hotel has an unfortunate location, located just across the freeway from a sketchy neighborhood. The room was musty, small, and had a poor layout (tv at side of bed).
room was musty and dingy smelling, when I got home, my close still smelled like the room. and very high humidity. had asked for a preferred view and got a lower level room that looked at the parking lot. asked to switch to an interior room that had a sliding door opening to the courtyard but they said they were all booked up except one other exterior room on the first floor which that room also smelled. pretty sure the hotel wasn't booked bc each night the parking lot was half empty. staff was not very helpful. the bistro in the main lobby took forever to order food through as well. located right behind a topless strip club/steakhouse and the gas stating is very sketch as well
The beds were really soft and comfortable. Cable did not work what so ever. I called and asked for assistance, but was just told to change the channel. There was some red stuff on the floor. The pictures online look way more luxurious than what it really looks like . It had no refrigerator , I don't even remember if it had a microwave. Oh and apparently the location is "the nice part of the hood ." the Toilet was soak and wet for some reason. I did checked in online and requested a balcony that over looks the pool and I received a room that faces the trees and the hotel parking lot. The lobby and restaurant looks very nice, but the rooms need to look as good as the appearance and atmosphere of the lobby .
Very nice hotel with excellent staff.
Extremely courteous and helpful every time I needed help from the staff ( for example when getting my room key reprogrammed every so often). The room keys have an incredible tendency to lose the programming whenever in a close proximity of your phone or any other magnetic type item. This was pretty annoying but quickly resolved at the desk.
I love the location of the room. I relieved a text prior to my arrival of what was important to me and o chose the quietness of the room. Well, it was perfect and very quiet. The size of the room was good. The bed was very uncomfortable.
This room was not on a pool deck as described, it was on a concrete patio with a loud local's tiki bar. The pool was off to the side about 150 feet away. We paid $230 on Kayak and a walk-in that was at the desk in front of us paid $159 for the same exact mediocre room. Horrible experience, horrible place. Please avoid this mistake yourself.
Staff was fantastic! Great people and very helpful/understanding. There was some light construction taking place during our short stay.
El personal era en general muy agradable. Aire acondicionado ruidoso.
Gimnasio y un estupendo desayuno y café.
Un buen hotel,las habitaciones son amplias y el personal bien amable. No,todo nos gusto y nos parece un hotel muy recomendable
La recepción fue amable. 3 tipos diferentes de moho en el baño. El granito mal aparejado. Pasta de dientes en la pared. En general, malas condiciones.
