Our customer reviews for Novotel Marseille Vieux Port
Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
It was an amazing stay from them very first minute, every query was responded quickly and to satisfaction. The room was of a decent size, cleaned every day, breakfast was lovely with an amazing view. Kids enjoyed heated pool and stayed in until 9pm. They also enjoyed the entertainment table and we were able to relax in the bar nearby. We very much enjoyed the city and I think the comfort of the hotel played an important role:) many thanks!

This is a beautiful property in the Vieux Port section of Marseille, just a short walk away from great dining and activities. The rooms are nicely appointed and the views of the old city are spectacular. Parking is easy if you are driving. The Pool Bar serves very good informal food and has a good selection of wines and beers. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Marseille.

Recently stayed at Novotel Marseille Vieux Port. The hotel was 20 years old not new as other novotel I stayed in. Not a good stay. Breakfast was not having lot of choices. Overall Not a good experience.
Bonjour Nous vous remercions pour vos commentaires suite à votre séjour à Novotel Marseille Vieux Port. Nous sommes désolés que le service et la prestation du petit déjeuner n'aient pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes, et nous vous prions d'accepter nos plus sincères excuses. Nous sommes désireux de vous offrir la meilleure qualité de service pour vos séjours ; par conséquent, votre avis est très précieux. Soyez assuré que les mesures nécessaires seront mises en oeuvre afin d'améliorer la qualité des prestations évoquée Dans l'attente de vous accueillir de nouveau, nous vous prions de croire, Monsieur, en l'expression de nos sentiments les meilleurs Anthony Leroyer
If you are looking for luxury, you should probably choose the Sofitel (which is next door), but for a better price and a no-nonsense, decent place to stay, the Novotel is perfect. The breakfast buffet is excellent and if you ask, there are fantastic views of the old port from some of the rooms. The service, both at the front desk and room service are friendly and terrific ... it does help to speak French though-you are in the South of France!
This hotel has a good location, it's good value, the rooms are clean and well-supplied, staff are friendly and helpful - and breakfast is served with a beautiful location as does the bar - and there's a pool!
A fantastic stay. Staff were very polite & efficient. Clean & air conditioning were perfect. Pool area was very nice. Room superb. Friendly, helpful Reception staff. Cleaning & mini-bar replenishment all good.
Pool can get busy with it being small....but the Spa is great to use at 10euro's. Great views in the morning from the breakfast area and is just a short walk to the main town with great restaurants and bars. Excellent hotel and would stay again.
The Novotel is perfectly situated looking down over the marina at Vieux Port. The staff are friendly and the room is well appointed and spacious. Our room looked over the pool and out to the marina and Fort St Jean. It was quiet and clean. We would stay again.
Nice hotel with friendly service. Space rooms with good sleep quality and amenities. Satisfactory breakfast. Relatively low capability of parking area. Ideal location to explore the city! A printer as a peripheral to the lobby's PC should be added.
Have stayed in many 4 star hotels and don't understand why this one has that grade. First room we were given stank of smoke and after complaining we were shifted to a better smelling room but one that looked tired. Paper cups were provided for tea/coffee equipment with wooden stirrers and very limited supplies daily. Half way through our week stay we returned one evening to find we were locked out of our room! Reception had done this deliberately because they wanted us to make a half way payment for our stay - hotel policy apparently but we were not informed beforehand. Why had they done this? They had taken our card details on arrival. Receptionists generally quite off hand. Other staff better. Being more positive, location is good with good local bus service.
Dear, Thank you for your comment. We're sorry that your room smells bad. Our hotel is 100% non-smoking but guest don't respect this rule. I apologize. The recyclable paper cups were one of our sustainable development resolutions. Sorry for trouble that you had with the reception. When the bill balance of your bill at the hotel is too high we ask the guest come for making a point. We not use the credit card detail without informing our guest. I hope the rest of your stay was pleasant and I hope you can enjoy discovering the city. I apologize for trouble you had during your stay. This is not usual quality of services in our hotel. However I hope welcome you another time,
Entrance and pool area in a pretty good, modern design. Kind staff. Good breakfast. Pretty Harbour- view from restaurant area. Moderate, clean Room with no modern design. Moderate TV channel and WLAN.
This was our third visit in three years to Novotel Vieux port. It used to glory in a stunning terrace over the harbor: now an enclosed air-conditioned winter garden. A shame. The restaurant cheekily served their most expensive Bandol rose at EUR39 a bottle instead of the standard EUR21 version. Service was slow to our table of 8 (2 families). A shame that the beautiful terrace has gone and that the service was so thoughtless. Reception are excellent.
Hotel in ideal location, just a short walk from centre of old port with lovely views of old port. We used outdoor swimming pool where there were enough beds to accommodate the guests, towels were well stocked for use at poolside. The pool bar had a good seating area to chill out after a day sightseeing. Food was excellent with a buffet breakfast with cooked option which was refilled constantly. We also ate in the restaurant which had a large choice of food and wine. Our room was adequate size for 2 adults and older kids with air conditioning and mini bar and free Wi-Fi. All areas of the hotel were clean and tidy at all times and staff very friendly and helpful.
I have been with my family in the Hotel whihc has a fantastic view of the Viex Port of Marseille. It is localized in the middle of the main turist point which is very convinient. There are many room for improvement once the hotel facilities were not working well like the lift to the garage and SPA and safe in the rooms.
Service was good from the restaurant and bar staff. Very strong pee smell by the swimming pool. But the location and view did cover for that. Overall, the hotel is ageing. Even though the reception went through refurbishment, the superior room we stayed in were not up to the standard we were expecting in terms of lay out, decoration and painting: toilets were old and even though the shower room were renovated, the cleanliness was not 4 star level, limescale and yellow dirt between tiles. This said, we were very satisfied with the service. On the first morning we asked for a room with a better wiew, we had view on the air conditionning vent on the 1st floor, hoping to get a seaview, we were transfered to a room on the last floor with a small view on Notre Dame de la Garde. Seaview apparently cost a hefty 45 Euros per night....having paid already 146 Euros per night for 3 nights, I obviously didn't insist. I was asking for a free upgrade but the answer came clear as cristal....No hard feelings against the head receptionnist though. This hotel is in a prime location and is to be considered as a must should you want to get the best views on Marseille.

Online shopping major threat to Guernsey retail
ONLINE shopping has been labelled one of the major threats to Guernsey's retail industry following the announcement that HMV was calling in administrators.
ONLINE shopping has been labelled one of the major threats to Guernsey's retail industry following the announcement that HMV was calling in administrators.
This is the verdict of Guernsey's Chamber of Commerce as it reacted to the news that the iconic entertainment chain was the latest high street victim, putting more than 4,000 jobs at risk in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
Others in the local retail industry also warned that failing national chains could leave gaping holes in Guernsey.
Chamber of Commerce president Rupert Dorey said its recent retail survey had shown that online shopping was a threat to businesses in the island.
Creasey's managing director Tony Creasey said that landlords in the past had perhaps preferred national chains to independent stores in the belief they were stronger businesses.
Comments for: "Online shopping major threat to Guernsey retail"
More Local Than You
Sorry Mr Creasey, but your business model is just simply out of date. Not just yours, but that of the High Street in general - and not just in Guernsey.
Online shopping is a threat to business everywhere - it doesn't take a survey to work this out surely?
Just as supermarkets took over business from the individual enterprises which all shut down, internet shopping will continue take over high street trade - for 99% of products. There are of course a few exceptions.
The internet offers more choice, consumer reviews, convenience, it's cheaper and will continue to eclipse retail spend on High Streets.
If Creaseys didn't own their buildings, am sure they too would have shut down due to crippling rents in St Peter Port and an outdated model - their business is very throwback.
As for the States legislating against UK firms coming to the island, that is simply ridiculous.
And as for HMV and the like (Clinton Cards, Jessops et al) leaving a "gaping hole" - what a load of bunkum.
How will we cope without overpriced DVDs/camera/birthday cards? The answer is just fine.
Guernsey needs to seriously think not about the "threat" of the internet or UK high street chains, but how it can be more self sufficient in terms of giving local and independent retailers/growers in enterprise which will benefit the island as a whole.
There is a lot the States should be doing in this area - forget all fireworks and trumpets that come out for the finance industry (which I incidentally work in), local (non-finance) enterprise needs a bigger profile on the island.
shops still have their uses. There is no substitute for going in to a shop and trying something on and seeing the product in all its glory.
You can then scan the bar code with the amazon app and see if its cheaper at amazon. If it is you order it and it arrives a day or 2 later. If not you buy it in store.
A le Page
In terms of seeing the wood etc, I must agree with you completely.
The main problem is that the island copied the appalling UK local government blueprint and
has graduated to the point where, we too, are run by box-ticking bullies; together with miserly landlords, they put numerous obstacles in the way of true local enterprise, which in a bizarre twist, provides them with a fat wad.
I recall a lot of manifestos, prior to the April elections, which promised support for Fred ITS and local business. Unless this I'm Alright Jack attitude can be changed, nothing else will.
When budding entrepreneurs ask my advice about starting up in Guernsey, there is generally one answer..forget it, and save yourself a headache and an empty bank balance.
More Local Than You
I too agree with the fact that there was a lot of hot air surrounding local enterprise during the April elections - none of which has transpired into any value or input by Deputies for those in Guernsey seeking to be establish and run their own businesses on the island.
Even a small trader is faced with crippling fixed costs in St Peter Port and even on the Bridge. Somewhere like the market is an ideal place for small traders to be given a chance to get a business up and running and take the pressure off the finance industry as Guernsey's golden goose. The States should be offering subsidies for people to get established. Where HMV currently sits, they could fit 30 - 40 small businesses in there.
The more I think about what has happened to our market, the more angrier I get.
I have no faith whatsoever in Kevin "the gob" Stewart as C&E minister, his appointment is a joke.
Oh Dear
Get rid of all high street shops, relocate premises to warehouses. Any empty shops in town could then be used for social housing. Simple as that. Although I don't know where to put the warehouses, maybe Belle Greve?
At the end of the day they just cannot cope with the internet prices. The cost of most things is equivalent to or higher than the UK where they pay VAT. People put this down to shipping fees, how do they think things get to the UK?
The high street is dead. High rents and overpriced goods made sure of that.
Having a web store can also be beneficial. I would say the headlines should read Greedy Landlords with High rents a major treat to Guernsey retail.
Valandra Bolan
I totally agree with you. So many shops could come and 'save town' but the fat cat greedy landlords want to line their pockets.
Oh Dear
Not much of a treat firestorm. :-)
More Local Than You
Just reading an article written by somebody that used to work for IBM (who were engaged by HMV to gain an online presence) on how HMV failed to embrace the online marketplace in the early years and how HMV management's intertia and lack of foresight with regards to online shopping lead to HMV's online presence wilting over the years.
The IBM worker suggested at the time he was engaged to work for HMV (back in 2004), HMV had the customer base/market share that would have easily seen them reach stratospheric online sales - however they failed to embrace this and their administration now proves how fatal this can be.
Island Wide Voting
Crikey.Are you suggesting that SOME consultants are actually worth their fee?
It is a very '90s attitude to consider the Internet as a threat. Why can't these high street shops consider the Internet as something to be exploited?
I would quite like to be able to browse the goods available in the high street online and consider my purchase, including the cost.
Shops could easily implement a 'reserve' feature for locals, even if they do not want to expand into deliveries.
If an item is not in stock, an e-commerce solution should be able to link with ordering so that the shop can say to me 'if we haven't got it, we can get it'.
Another idea, for the States or Chamber of Commerce, is to invest in a portal for local retailers. Where even, tell me, is a list of the local retailers from whom it is possible to order from online? Perhaps there is a deficiency in the promotion of local retailers.
This "story" is 15 years out of date, frankly it's an embarrassment to read what major retailers and the Chamber of Commerce have to say on the issue. The only thing missing is a comment from Jack "don't worry all the empty shops will be let soon" Honeybill.
With attitudes like that it's hardly surprising that retailers are closing down left, right and centre. Give it another 5 years and St Peter Port will be unrecognisable, with even more empty shops than there are now. Internet shopping is an unstoppable force, and as people's disposable income reduces in the coming years they will inevitably seek out better value than can be had on the high street.
Well said Phil. I cannot believe it took a survey to realise what the rest of us have known for years. I'm glad I didn't renew my corporate subscription to the Chamber of Commerce if this is the best they can come up with! I also agree with Nathan - there's no excuse for not going online these days. Other local small businesses are doing it, I noticed just today that Guernsey Coal are doing online orders now.
As for Mr Creasey talking about independent shops, he doesn't seem to have a problem bringing franchises over here that take business from small independent retailers. I don't have a problem with that per se, but I do find his entire approach full of double standards - like his support for the current Sunday trading restrictions whilst opening the St Martins M&S supermarket.
PLP, the opening of the St Martins M&S store was demanded by M&S. Creaseys had to agree to this as condition of their franchise agreement.
That makes it even worse IMO because he ditched his stated principle on Sunday trading for the franchise ie money.
Banfest - Hypothetically speaking I wonder what his view would've been if Waitrose had decided they wouldn't open here unless they were allowed to do so 7 days per week.
The most useful thing about a principle is that it can always be sacrificed to expediency. W. Somerset Maugham
'ONLINE shopping has been labelled one of the major threats to Guernsey's retail industry...'
and the car is a threat to the horse and cart, phones/emails to carrier pigeons, texts to talking etc etc.....
Astute observation, there, no wonder local retailers are doing do well (er-hem).....
Blockbusters has collapsed now.
Lucky locket
The biggest threat to the shops on the high streets of Guernsey is the lack of availability and basic customer service and service know-how.
Being told 'we can order it in for you, but you'll have to pay now' is not acceptable in this day and age, I can do that from the comfort if my chair.
Shops selling baby and children's items which are impassable with a buggy.
M&S where to make payment you have to negotiate stairs or a single small lift etc.
Oh Dear
The only way high street shopping is even remotely viable is:
Being fully stocked
Dropping the rents
Dropping the prices
Training staff
adequately (more than just a grunt would suffice)
Open longer hours
I finish work at 5.00 every weekday, if I want to buy something in town the only day I would have is Saturday but it's my weekend and I'd rather chill out than bus into town to get something they may or may not have at a price much higher than I could otherwise purchase it.
Self Employ or Working for the landlord!
Well you gotta say he's sharp that Creasey boy!
B Le Maitre
Totally agree re staff training and customer service. The High Street in Guernsey is pretty awful in terms of customer service. The sad thing is that polite and helpful staff seems to be the exception, rather than the rule.
The attitude in shops in the UK seems different at the moment - you can have a degree and not get a job in Tesco!
Welcome to the 21st century.The age of the high street shop is ending. All shops can do is enter the e commerce age and hope for the best. I can't remember the last time I purchased anything in town. Amazon rocks I'm afraid, free postage and they deduct the vat.
No insight, no leadership, not a clue!
What a clever bunch Guernseys Chamber of Commerce are!
I'm sure no one in the island had already worked out that the internet is killing local retailers.
They would be more useful trying to find some way of helping the local retailers rather than just stating the obvious.
The rents in town are ridiculous (greedy landlords) and the staff costs are much higher than the UK. Staff are also very hard to find and recruit because so many people want to bore themselves to death working in the finance industry. The costs contribute to the fact that our local shops can not expect to compete with the likes of Amazon.
However do we really want to see the death of town because of people's insatiable desire to bag a bargain? To go into a local store and then go home and order the goods online is an unbelievably dishonest way to conduct yourself at the expense of the shop owner and at the risk of the staff in those shops losing their jobs.
The real problem is that people perceive it to be impossible to park in town and therefore they can not be bothered to go. It is not that bad to be honest. However, I think that we should all be very grateful that we have such a pretty and charming town - so much nicer than Jersey. We should support local business. We have some fascinating small shops opening up in town especially in the Mill Street area. There are some excellent cafes and coffee shops and plenty of independent retailers. They are all there for your convenience. We should make the most of it. Do we really want masses of empty shops on the high street.
Some of the posts above are incredibly rude to Mr Creasey - a family that have invested a fortune in ensuring we have a variety of shops in town and beyond under their franchise. Sometimes life isn't all about grabbing a bargain and feeling smug at saving a few pence - support local business!
More Local Than You
Some of the posts are rude to Mr Creasey?
Constructive criticism and analysis is hardly rude?
Mr Creasey may have invested a fortune, but am sure he and his family have made a fortune along the way.
I recall a very different High Street and town growing up, some of my highlights:
1. Number 19 (obviously)
2. Baker's Bazaar
3. Pioneer
4. Bucktrouts tobacconist
5. Sarnia Sports
6. Teleskill
Well if some of your highlights were No 19, Baker's Bazaar and the Pioneer shop I suspect that some of the newer shops that have opened in recent years are far too sophisticated for your liking.
No 19 was a smelly, overpriced boring shop that would never have survived in a UK town. Shops like White Stuff, Indica, Joules and Land of Green Ginger along with the various franchises under the Creaseys banner are the way forward. We have to move with the times not hark back to the dark ages! Guess you thought Gabriel's was amazing too? It was horrendous!
With you re Gabriel's Queen Bee. It really was horrendous.
QueenBee - You don't seem to like hearing any criticism of the Creaseys, even when the facts speak for themselves. Now you suggest they are the future of island retail. Do you have a vested interest in the Creaseys business?
In response to your first post I don't consider it rude to make observations. M&S opens on Sundays raking in the cash whilst Mr Creasey opposes liberalising Sunday trading, thus keeping his major competitor closed. These are facts.
Now he talks about wanting more independent retailers whilst his franchise stores undercut existing independents - one example is bread sales. Personally I don't have a problem with what he's doing but I think there is at least a hint of double standards.
Mr Creasey is a successful businessman and for that he deserves credit. That doesn't put him above criticism though.
Hey now, I will not have a word said against Number 19! It was charming, and many times I compared their prices to those of HMV and Number 19 always came out on top, despite HMV seeming to have everything on "sale" constantly. So none of this rubbish about it being overpriced. Simply not true.
Also, I used to go in there as a twelve year old and dream about working there when I was old enough... I thought it would be just like Empire Records :-) that shop was quite literally my teenage dream!
"They are all there for your convenience" ..... Ah so this is why they're all going bust, there was me thinking they were there to make a profit from their customers !!
I have no vested interest in Creaseys whatsoever although I do seem to spend a lot of money in Marks and Spencers! I don't even particularly like Creaseys department store tbh as it is a bit old fashioned and does not cater for a wide enough age range IMO. All I know is that if people like Mr Creasey were not prepared to invest money in our high street, including may I add a very good conversion of the old Woolworths store, then our high street would look a pretty sorry state.
St Peter Port is the jewel in Guernsey's crown and we need to realise that before it is too late.
Who would be in retail eh?

Diversify diversify diversify.
Step out of the box TC! You've had 15 years to react, if you cant beat em join em, come on Tony!! Just google 'business cliches' for your business plan, you have the resources, just do it!
retail in the town will always suffer because of the transport links . IE parking or the lack of buses the rents are always negotiable if you have a shop. Retailers need to give a reason for people to call in to the shop. i.e product/ service etc
.The point i will make is if you can't see it locally how you going to undercut it buy buying on the internet.Lets remember most top retailer despeck all there products for that reason and companies such as amazon don't sell top end .
in fact john Lewis .com guarantee they will never be under cut why because they have the buying power to demand a slight change in the product and no one else can sell it .
I mean come on people . I shop on the the internet because i'am lazy i don't scan in bar codes to save a tenner .You will lose shops soon then your out on you own

I would disagree with your point on negotiatble rents.
I know of 3 shops that have gone from town in the last year that have gone solely because they couldnt negotiate a rent redeuction. This is despite having had lenghthy periods as tenants, no history of late payments and a good relationship with the landlord.
Them days have gone where you had a choice of local friendly shops and cafes.
One cafe I was not aloud in was the guernsey kitchen cafe.that was for the big girls and boys.i had to drink my pop in bakers cafe.
The biggest lost in town was the market,fish veg,flowers and meat.
The good bus service into town Saturdays to spend the day window shopping as every shop was full of shoppers buying their choice of goods.
Them days have gone past through many reasons good or bad.
you can count how many shops are open on your fingers.I feel more shops will close when big sale or reduction sign takes up the shop windows
Reduction of christmas lights year after year through lack of sponsorship.[more empty shops]
Maybe some local business can open up catalogue shops for online ordering.
B Le Maitre
A rent on a small shop in the Pollet is c.50k. That's a phenomenal amount of money to make, before taking into account running a business and all the costs involved, plus making a living to keep a roof over your head.
Don't forget, Amazon are based in Luxembourg so they only pay 3% tax. They also have the buying power to be able to return unsold stock to suppliers that the small high street business would have to keep even if it didn't sell. I would also expect them to have preferential long term payment terms that the small retailer would not get.
Why don't Creaseys have an online shop & deliver?
Whenever I go to the UK I do enjoy wandering around shopping centres/ malls visiting stores that give a lot more choices as regards goods and prices.
Here I really don't get that pleasure and therefore make online purchases whenever I can, mostly from Amazon.
Their service is fantastic, and throughout the years, I have had no trouble at all especially where I have had to make a return.
Not only is their service brilliant, but I have also saved so much money by not paying vat/carriage.
Sme people will criticise me, but I will not pay the prices charged over here, especially on cameras and equipment, do you homework you will see what I mean.

Online shopping a threat to retail outlets??- Absolutely! recent example,need for replacement of garden mower-Guernsey dealer( should remain nameless )asking for £ 189.00 plus freight to Alderney -identical Item -Amazon £88.50 ,free delivery to the door.
No contest!
I had cause to use a local computer shop this week, so off I set to the Bordage, great service, friendly and helpful and very very reasonably priced. I might have been able to get the bits cheaper at Amazon, but they would not have made sure it was all working and correctly installed.
Sometimes it's good to just
shop local..

VA Firehouses are not off limits meaning you can carry into it them…If he is a a FF and he gets caught, he could loose his job thats about the worst thing that can happen.

In that case, I don't know of any state restrictions in VA against carrying in an FD and the gun buster signs do not carry the weight of law (only trespass).
Completely legal in VA. I've carried in fire stations in VA many times.

I never saw any signs but after ten years, I didn't pay much attention to it. I do know our policies in Virginia Beach specifically called out on duty LEO as the only folks who could carry. I know of one person for sure who was a LEO in another city and who was 'that' LEO you never wanted to meet who carried anyway and never got into trouble over it so I suspect our agency kept the policy there to dissuade folks but never enforced it knowing it wasn't legit. Something I'll keep in mind if I ever go back.

Product Highlights
The BG-N9 Battery Grip for Nikon D3100 and D3200 from Vello is designed specifically for the Nikon D3100 and D3200 DSLR cameras and accepts one or two EN-EL14 batteries.

And the BG-N9 comes with an alternate shutter release button to facilitate shooting when held vertically. In addition, the BG-N9 is designed with an anti-slip rubber grip to further improve handling, a tripod socket to mount your camera directly to a tripod and a wonderful touch: a holder for the camera's battery door so as not to lose it when the battery grip is installed.

Charisma is a flat two-sided bottle of soft grey, blue and gold. Bands of gold scrolls alternate with bands of blue and white daisies. Florentine gold covers the scrolled handle, neck, pouring lip and stopper. Shades of grey are painted on the back of the bottle. Made by Regal China, it is 12 1/2 inches high.This was a special version of the executive VIP decanters that was made for the Harold's Club Casino in Reno, Nevada. From 1967 through 1982 Jim Beam made an annual decanter that they called their VIP decanter. These were made in very limited quantities. The 1970 was called the "Charisma." One of Beam's best customers, Harold's Club, had Beam make a small number of each year's VIP decanter just for Harold's Club -- with Harolds Club on each and every bottle. I have most of the Harolds Club VIP series up for sale this week. All are empty. Some of the auctions include the original box, and if it does, it is starting at $10 higher than the same decanter without the original presentation box. No chips, cracks or liquor, but as with any decanter this age, the cork may need a little TLC.

Jones and Rojas are fishing in close proximity again, near the bridge.
That's a spectator in the yellow boat. A local told us no one knew there were bass in this canal. He said a few months ago debris was removed from the mouth of the canal. Prior to that boats could not get in here. So this may be virgin water for bass fishing. These bass may not have seen the lures Rojas, Jones and Kriet are throwing here.
Which may explain why all three guys are in the Top 12.

2012 focus with sony upgrade retain stock headunit & aftermarket speakrers\amp
Hey there,
I have a customer with a '12 focus and the upgraded sony system. before i dig into his car i was trying to do some reasearch and i was not comming up with much!
I dont know how many people have upgrade to an aftermarket amplifier\subwoofer\speaker setup, but that is what we are doing.
we are trying to retain the stock headunit
and i will be installing an arc audio xdi805, german meistro concept component speakers up front, and a custom fiberglass box for a sundown audio SA8v2.
before i make him buy some line output converter and anything else, i was interested to know if the sony headunit has low level phono outputs (RCA connectors) - or does it only have high level speaker outputs?
basically i am interested to know what signal goes from the stock radio to the stock amplifier. if i can tap into that, and it outputs low level RCA signal that an aftermarket amplifier can use, i do not need a line output converter. if it is not - then i need to know if i need to tap in before, or after the stock amplifier.
other than that i have all my bases covered.
maybe if anyone has images of behind the sony radio, that would also be helpful before i take his car apart.
thanks guys.

One scenario, and a rare one at that.
This is a discussion on Would you shoot a pregnant woman? within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by apvbguy you're a statistic in waiting! if you are unable to use your gun when facing a threat why carry it? Me ...

And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
One scenario, and a rare one at that.
Hypothetical scenarios such as this are meant to give us pause to think and consider our motivations and intentions. If they reinforce already established attitudes, so be it. If it helps to clarify ones thoughts on a particular matter that, perhaps, you have not considered before, even better.
Off the cuff answers and glib attitudes stifle the discussion. I don't recall anyone saying this was a very likely situation for any of us to find ourselves. It is just something to think about.
I see it as no different than a hostage scenario. That unborn child has no more guilt in them than an innocent bystander grabbed and used as a shield. That is the point that is glaringly obvious to me. The fact that there is no realistic way to eliminate the threat without doing harm to that "bystander" is the issue that many people have a hard time dealing with.
I want to go home at the end of the day the same as anyone. So, in all likelihood, I would probably take the shot. The big question in my mind is, how long would I hesitate, trying to find another alternative.
*WARNING - I may or may not know what I am talking about.
glib attitude here.
I would just shoot the gun out of her hand. Problem solved.
But, honestly HOW would you know if she was truly pregnant or if she had just shoplifted a watermelon from the supermarket?
Seriously, in the most likely situation for this scenario to take place, you would know she was pregnant because you would be the person that got her in that condition. She would be your wife or girlfriend.
"Private Joker: How can you shoot women or children?
Door Gunner: Easy! Ya just don't lead 'em so much! Ain't war hell?"
Certainly not my sentiments, but since we are dealing in hypotheticals...
Guns don't kill; people do. Don't shoot the gun; shoot the people.
Anyone who thinks they can shoot anybody and simply walk away without being emotional distraught is kidding themselves. Took me months to get over shooting a dog. Pregnant or not, shooting anyone is going to have its effect on one's metal stability.

Its you or her. If you hesitate you will probably die, its that simple. If by chance the woman lives but the baby dies I would hope she would be charged with felony murder for causing its death.
Pregnant woman = tough call.
Babe in arms = tougher yet.
Pregnant woman scenario... if it's a "prop" suit, then this is a semi-professional to professional criminal calculating the use of an apparent condition and a gun to get what she wants and expecting it rather immediately... would she pull the trigger failing that? This is one scenario where I'm hoping my gut tells me what to do...
Babe in arms. I'm going to be certain of my shot or give her what she wants. Or at least feign "giving in" to see if it gives me a better shot. A desperate woman, holding you up so she can feed her kid is in a desperate situation and may act irrationally... But if the kid looks nourished... I'm looking for MY opportunity to end the confrontation.
It could be worse!
I suppose
I wouldn't care. If she needs shot, she'll get shot. Chances are the kid doesn't have much of a chance anyway.

It was a shoot/don't shoot scenario. What do you do?
Several years back a fellow officer and myself were talking to a women in regards to a minor complaint.
The other officer making conversation asked her when the baby was due.
There was a pregnant pause in the conversation and she said in a very irratable tone of voice, "I'm not pregnant".
She looked pregnant to me too but I had better sense than to ask. Guess you never can really tell for sure.

Not saying I wouldn't potentially have emotional issues afterward, but, shoot.
I don't care if she's pregnant, holding her baby, pushing a stroller, carrying a baby backpack. Doesn't matter.
If she's a threat that justifies deadly force, that's what's happening.
At least if you end the threat, you have an "afterward".

100 K-8 Teachers Explore STEM Practices and Content During Teacher Training WorkshopDiana Wehrell-Grabowski on August 31, 2013 in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Education, Teacher Training Workshops Comments Off on 100 K-8 Teachers Explore STEM Practices and Content During Teacher Training Workshop
I had the pleasure of introducing 100 K-8 teachers to STEM practices and content during a STEM teacher training workshop. The workshop was held at Alhuda Academy in Worcester, Massachusetts. The workshop was hosted by NEASC. We began the training by discussing what STEM is focusing on the Engineering Design Process, Critical Thinking, and Inquiry-Based teaching and learning. Teachers then went on a STEM walk around the campus to observe patterns and shapes in nature and in man-made designs. This is a foundational concept of STEM education making connections to structure and function which is applied to all types of engineering and science disciplines. Teachers also conducted investigations to explore materials science concepts, and force, motion, and energy concepts. It was a fantastic group of teachers who I'm truly grateful that I had the pleasure of sharing my knowledge and passion for STEM education. I am certain that the teachers in attendance were transformed, and will indeed implement STEM practices and investigations within their K-8 classrooms.

Logical Circuit Diagrams or Characters
Looking through the list of named characters in the Mathematica Book I did
not see any characters representing and gates, or gates, or logical
inverters. I guess it wouldn't be too terribly difficult to create graphics
representing these, but if it's been done why do it again? Are there
characters (glyphs) available to represent logical circuits? Are there
packages for drawing them?

Every year, more than 4,800 infants are born with Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD) making it the leading cause of death in babies less than 1 year of age. These babies require immediate cardiac evaluation and intervention within the first few days or months of life.
A simple, pain-free screening test can help prevent this statistic from growing. Performed any time after 24 hours of age but before leaving the hospital, a narrow tape with a small sensor is placed on the outside of the baby's right hand and foot, to measure how much oxygen is in its blood. If the test is negative, or normal, the oxygen in the baby's blood is at a standard level. A positive test result indicates that the oxygen in the baby's blood was low, suggesting a possible congenital heart disease and further evaluation.
In July 2012, Texas Children's joined 12 other rural and metropolitan birthing facilities in Texas as part of TxPOP: the Texas Pulse Oximetry Project. The project, a joint educational initiative with The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio's Department of Pediatrics which is funded through a grant from the Department of State Health Services, allowed for the development of a comprehensive educational program to implement early CCHD screening with pulse oximetry.
Beginning February 1, 2013, Texas Children's began screening all newborns for CCHD as a part of the standard newborn screening. In June, legislation requiring CCHD screening for all newborns in Texas was signed into law. All birthing facilities in the state will soon have to implement their own protocols for the screening test.
Texas Children's is not only leading the way leading the way in screening babies for CCHD, but we're also providing a road-map for other hospitals and doctors in the state of Texas to be able to follow as well.
This video explains more about CCHD screening at Texas Children's and how the simple test can help save babies' lives.

primer lifts a bit of drywall mud
hi all - question - when priming a new drywall install, and the primer (brushing into corners) starts lifting some of the mud (definitely not a lot, just a couple small spots) what's the most likely cause - and fix?
the painter (me)?
the primer (behr)?
the joints are fiberglass tape with setting compound for the tape coat, and the CGC dust control mud for fill and finish coats. sanded and wiped down before priming. it's had at least a couple weeks to dry.
Does it help to thin the latex primer a bit before brushing on?

It is being reported that, once again, Thierry Henry has been overlooked as European Player of the Year.
Spanish and Italian press have suggested that the Balon d'Or for 2006 has gone to Italy defender Fabio Cannavaro. The Real Madrid defender has had an excellent 2006 but, according to Arsène Wenger, his protégé's continual disappointment over major awards is baffling.
"If that's the case then congratulations to Cannavaro," said the manager on Friday, "but for me there's only one candidate this year and that's Thierry Henry.
"He was the top goalscorer in England, the best player in England and the second-highest goalscorer in Europe behind Luca Toni.
"He played in the Champions League Final and the World Cup Final. He lost one on penalties and he lost the other in the last few minutes with 10 men.
"It's unfortunate and it's not right that he does not have the recognition.
"When you look at what this guy has achieved in his career as a player I can tell you there are some players in the Balon d'Or who have a lot to answer for when you compare them to Thierry Henry.
"For me the only one in contention with him was Samuel Eto'o, who won the Champions League and the Spanish Championship. He is the only one who could fight with Thierry this year."

WATCH: Downtown Grand Rapids Parking Garage Floods
This is cell phone video shot in the basement parking garage of 77 Monroe Center NW. It shows flooding that was apparently caused by a major water main break underneath the building. This is the same parking garage used by WOOD Radio and other Clear Channel Radio stations that are tenants in the building. As of 1pm Friday, the flooding had impacted several vehicles on the lowest level of the garage. Additional vehicles on the next level may also be at risk as the city of Grand Rapids works to shut off the water to the broken main.

Endless Journey Beyond HTML version
Lie to me, Lie to him,
But never to the picture that I see in your eyes,
Cry to me, cry to him,
Not too keen to reach out and share, you seem.
May be I am too bland,
May be you're like sand,
Blowing into my face,
While trying to grip tight, slipping slowing off my hand.
May be I am just a passerby,
Just that you happened to come nearby,
And before I could get a grip on you, to feel you,
You're already there, waiting to bid goodbye.
May be I am not right,
Never was, never will and never could,
May be slowly I am to move out of sight,
To fall for you was for me and not your plight.
I was here, will be here, could be nowhere,
But then you have to reach out to hold me and swear,
Falling back into that same stair,
Would be a sight I could never bare to stare because there is too much about you that I care.

Viewers deserve to see Gondry and screenwriter Kaufman's hilarious, love-stricken, endlessly inventive collaboration fresh for themselves - especially since the more surreal thrills hinge on an 'am I awake or dreaming' mix up, and since even the quieter passages tremble with pain and revelatory vulnerability. Suffice to say the formidable Gondry/Kaufman/Carrey axis works marvel after marvel in expressing the bewildering beauty and existential horror of being trapped inside one's own addled mind, and in allegorising the self-preserving amnesia of a broken but hopeful heart.
This outdoor screening, part of the Rooftop Film Club's 2013 season, sees 'Eternal Sunshine' beamed onto a big screen and transmitted via wireless headphones, while viewers enjoy a free barbecued burger or hot dog (vegetarian options available) in proper, comfy chairs. Dress for the temperature but don't mind the rain - the show goes on regardless under the protection of a giant umbrella.

Prospect Trends — Week Ending 7/3
Osuna is hitting .400 on the young season.
A couple of AAA hitters may be wondering when they get to join the parade of Indianapolis players going to Pittsburgh, a couple of sluggers start to overcome slumps, and a couple of low A right-handers struggle.
Matt Hague, 1B (AAA): Continuing his torrid pace, Hague went 13-for-27 (.481), with five doubles, four walks and just two strikeouts. Until going hitless Sunday, he had a stretch of seven multi-hit games. He also had a double in six straight games before Saturday. With the signing of Lyle Overbay predictably proving to be a failure, more and more fans understandably are eager to see Hague move up to replace him.
Gorkys Hernandez, CF (AAA): Hernandez also continued his hot hitting, raising his average to .299 by g...
