The location was perfect facing the lake and the people working there were friendly. The washroom had bad smell.
Casino staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The Hooded Morganser's food was very good and service saff was well trained.
Beds were uncomfortable and we had reservations for the New Years Party, but they didn't have enough tables to seat our party of six. No where did our reservation say you could reserve tables and it had to be a party of 8 or more. When we asked for a refund, we were told first come, first served. No refunds. Will probably not book again. 5$ a day for parking, including handicapped. Seriously?
We enjoyed the lakeside room with excellent view of the lake, also the convenience of restaurants, bars and even a casino. The room was comfortable, and renovations to upgrade the somewhat older resort were evident. We enjoyed the " Hooded Merganser" restaurant, the staff were friendly and efficient.We will definitely stay again.
nice location. Relaxing
The shoreside reasturaunt was very good Bed needs new mattress
casino Booked on line and total for one nite was 150.15?? Reserved for a nite 4 days following at hotel and price was 115.00. No smoking outside on balcony???? Understand non smoking rooms but this is ridiculous!!
It was very convienent location to Pasta Factory and Casino. The pillows on the bed were to firm, hard and puffy. Didn't have a great sleep.
The proximity of the center. The pool was very small
no hallway. clean Was like an oven when we walked in. No choice of thin or thick pillow. Parking was exteemly tight
Ground level court yard access. Nice to get fresh air into the room, and be able to wander around outdoors, even in the winter! Was sorry that the central station pub was closed for renovations
We had 2 patios off of our room which was nice to have our meals at. The room did not have a microwave which I was surprised, we used the fridge and made food which worked well with a fridge.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
the location to areas we where interested in, the grounds where well kept the table lamp was out and I noticed the cord was unplugged so I moved the bed to plug it back in it was very dirty under the bed
The location was near the beach.Staff were friendly and efficient.The room was nice and clean. The general finish in the room (tile, paint, wallpaper) was lower than the price suggested.

Pool & Hot tub were nice. Patio & Courtyard were good too. Beds were comfortable. Cleanliness/housekeeping could be improved. Microwave has to be rented.
We were satisfied with the room and amenities in it. The restaurant is not good and the coffee we had for breakfast was really awful. One would think that the Ramada could provide coffee of excellent quality in this day and age. Free doesn't cut it - we'd gladly pay for a great cup of coffee!
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Excellent location to convention centre and arena. Restaurant at location. The main door to the room needs adjustment.
The open hours for the pool were not useful to us. It should open eithe earlier in the morning, or stay open later at night to accommodate those who are busy during the day and early evening.
center courtyard, individual balcony, quiet, restaurant with discount coupon, fridge in room, walking distance to rink, wireless internet, staff at checkin/ out wireless internet connection inconsistent, mattresses could be softer/ more padded
The hotel is very closed the beautiful lake. The prices are a little high.
Staff and location Accsess to hot tub and indoor pool, we would have requested a courtyadrd room if we had been informed as to the availability of such, this could be explained at time of booking for first time guests
convenient location in respect to the main transportation routes. Easy to find. Holes in the towels, sheets,and blankets. I found this to be reflective of a disinterested and disrespectful attitude towards a paying customer.
The friendly reception and the price. Nothing
It's in a good spot if you are looking for a water front place, the price is reasonable,I stayed only over night but could see staying three or four to enjoy what the area as to offer.
They have BBQ's you can use for free! I wish it was on their website or under "amenities" as it would have been great to know in advance! Right across from the beach and some firepits that are communal use. It's also right near the downtown street (about 10 minutes walk) and go eat breakfast at The Bench! (15 min walk). Delicious food and well worth the trek! The last staff member we talked to on check-out was great! Can only get the front desk between 8-10. Being early risers about 7am we were looking for the wifi password. Apparently there is a router in every room which no one told us on check in. I went and asked one of the staff about a good place to eat dinner and was recommended "Denny's". Even when I said we weren't a fan didn't offer any alternatives. I'm not a fan of visiting a new place and hitting up chain restaurants. Have some local cuisine suggestions! Support your community! Salty's is a PHENOMENAL beach-front seafood (primarily) restaurant just a few properties down. We were later told by a local some other good restaurants: Saigon's is good Chinese, La Casa Ouzeria is great Greek and the Pasta Factory.
adjacent to the beach The room was filthy The hide a bed was in pieces The light cover above the kitchen was full of bugs The pool was not open when it was suppose to be The couch was broken and could not be sat on
Great location, excellent staff, clean facilities, very pleased with my stay, worth my money, planning another stay soon. N/A
Close to the lake Disappointing experience. The room was disturbingly unclean (with urine on the bathroom floor and unwashed towels), the lights didn't work, and I could hear all of my neighbors' moves through the thin walls. I would not recommend this dumpster even to a homeless person.
Location Very dirty. Stains on walls, curtains, carpet. Very dated bathroom. Was expecting much cleaner for what we paid.
All staff were happy to please you as best they could. Room air conditioner was so noisy, we had to turn it off. Room was hot and stuffy, poor sleep.
it was close to the beach beds was ok a little on hard side but made nice Its was very dated and crowded and the room was very small and stuff old smelling dirt outdated
location was not bad poorly cleaned the pool sucked it was only 1 meter deep and a odd shape so you couldn't even do laps
Shockingly bad experience at this hotel. I have nothing good to say about it. The rubber/ foam bed covers (I was advised by staff that they were there to protect the bedspreads ((from the guests!!?)), the not very clean and outdated room badly in need of renovating, but mostly the long sleepless night and rudely handled check in.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Location and tv Long confusing walk to find room
After reading the reviews, I was not too sure of what to expect from the hotel; my company had booked me there for an extended stay. I was happily surprised! My room was neatly decorated and modern and the staff was very friendly. I would definetelly go back there if I had to pick up an hotel in Penticton.
Location, staff and cleanliness. TV. The absolute worst TV I have ever experienced in a hotel. The remote was useless and you had no idea what channel you were on when clicking - this is where maybe a Shaw digital box might help. Maybe try having a few more channels available.
This hotel was great, the staff were very helpfull and the rooms and lobby have just been renovated. It's the biggest hotel in Penticton and has a great pool and hot-tub area. Business centre with computer was also great! The 24 hour restaurant was also a bonus. Very close to Okanagan Lake and walking distance to everything else. Cant wait to come back - Thanks for the great stay!!!
Always telling us to keep it low¿¿¿¿
Close to all Ammenities
I like the place, the breakfast and everything.
Nice room, clean, big TV, good breakfast included, 2 swimming pools, friendly staff
well maintained, friendly staff
The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The Beds were extremely comfortable and the area was very quiet at the time we were there. The staff were very friendly and helpful with information for what ever you wanted. The water took a long time to warm up when you turned the tap on to have a shower or wash.
The breakfast was wonderful. Our room was in the corner on the backside with a view of the parking lot and the side of an apartment building.
It was located near where we needed to be for the weekend. The area was fairly quiet. There was a Tim's across the street which was a major bonus! The pillows were huge and rather uncomfortable.
recent remodel. Very impressed with improvements . Staff kind . Had a double bed room that was split into 2 rooms. Only the main room had a air conditioner .
The staff was amazing. Very friendly right from the beginning to me and my daughter. The common area is fantastic way to bring fellow vacationers together and have a good time, when usually people tend to stick to their own thing.
Great location, quiet, friendly Could hear people walking around in room above.
Close to park and lake. Full kitchen. Quiet location. I was there on business but I'd take my family there on holiday next summer, especially with new pool and courtyard complete. Pool under construction off season, but only during day while away.
Fantastic visit! Great location and the kitchenette has the array of kitchen tools one actually uses! Walking distance to the Channel, for a float, and close to Okanagan Lake beach. A 10 min drive to Skaha Lake beach and close to a great running path
Pool and BBQ area was great! Location was perfect, close to everything and just off both the lake and channel. Owners were very friendly and accomadating. The beds could have been a little softer with a few more pillows (they were available if requested though)
Nothing, room was dirty, bedding not changed. When I turned back the sheets you could see they had not been changed. There was hair on the sheets. Bathroom had used soap and shampoo in it. There was no new soap bar. There was a used juice container in thse sink. I was not able to speak to the front desk as they had closed for the eveing. Very disappointed. The web site pictures show a resort style hotel, however, this is not factual. The web site is very misleading.
The location was great and the noise from the street was not noticeable When you could find staff some were helpfull The staff were poorly trained on the knowledge of there city and could not fill requests for basic needs
Location! Beautiful beach across the street. Outdoor pool/barbeque. Walking distance to good restaraunts/casino. Bicycle and boat rentals nearby. Short-staffed on cleaning - so dirty floor when we checked-in.
Close to the beach and very reasonable. My first trip to Penticton and if I return I would definitely book with Tiki shores.
The suite had two separate bedrooms, meaning one guest did not have to pass thtough the other sleeping area to reach the bathroom. There is a guest laundry, which we used.

2000 Escalade Headlights Not Working at all
No low beams or high beams. The manual switch didnt turn them on, and I haave replaced the switch control, but no luck. I also replaced the BCM, still no luck. THE parking lights come on with no problems. Also, the parking brake itself is NOT engaged, but It's the first thing I thought that might still be causing a problem. I have read several posts on here about Daytime running lights and possible sun load sensor problems, but since I can't even turn the lights on manually, I don't know if that is the problem or not. I have checked all the fuses pertaining to lights, so I now need someone to give me more ideas. THANKS GUYS FOR HELPING THIS OLD GAL OUT!

Re: 2000 Escalade Headlights Not Working at all
Sorry to be so ignorant, but when you say bulb fuses, are these specific fuses in the panel? I might have missed them. I will do as you suggested though and buy a new bulb to try. I just wonder what the chances are of both going bad at the same time and/or if one goes bad, does the other one quit working? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!! Gives me something else to try.

Re: 2000 Escalade Headlights Not Working at all
THANKS! I'll take a look again to see if I can find those fuses.
Re: 2000 Escalade Headlights Not Working at all
I looked for bulb fuses in the underhood fuse panel, and did not find them. I wanted to check these before buying bulbs, BUT the good news is, my DRLs are now working. I still can't turn the headlights on manually (and they still don't work automatically). Another thing I noticed is, if I click to turn the high beams on, not only do they NOT work, but the indicator light for them on the instrument panel no longer illuminates. My truck has a big brushguard, so getting to the lights to swap bulbs will take some doing and i am saving that task for tomorrow. ALSO...is there a headlight relay I can check too? I didn't see this relay in either fuse panel and wondered where its located. Like you suggested before, its likely a bulb problem, but I can't figure out why the DRLs now work and didn't work before. The only thing I did again today was, I pulled the 50 amp headlight fuse out and plugged it back in. I had done this before when I checked it a couple of days ago, so I sorta doubt that helped anything. Maybe driving it down the road helped reset the computer after the BCM was installed? I just don't know. I plan to read all I can about the headlight bulbs and differences between the DRL, low beam and high beams. thanks for any advice!!!

Re: 2000 Escalade Headlights Not Working at all
Thanks. I'll pull the switch. Can you tell where the headlight relay is? Another thread mentioned under the dash beside radio???
- 01-21-13 11:05 AM #9Originally Posted by connestoga
Re: 2000 Escalade Headlights Not Working at all
The switch ckecks Ok and when in the headlights on or parking lights positions, I hear the chimes after I remove the key.
The bulbs are also ok. I've downloaded a shop manual for the Escalade and while it's been very useful, there's still some things about the 2000 year model that I can't find enough info about - whether or not there's a separate relay for the headlights Or if it's only called a DRL relay is one thing that has me baffled. I think this DRL relay is the one that's suppose to be beside the radio, so I'm stll trying to find if there is in fact another headlight relay. Also, you mentioned the 2003 and looking at the fuse panel diagrams for years later than the 2000 look totally different. I think the last year model the manual covers is 2006, so I guess some things were fairly standard through these year models, but man....when they're different they're totally different! The dash end fuse panel on the 2000 has about the same number of fuses as later years, but the underhood panel on the 2000 doesnt have near as many fuses and relays as later models. I would much rather have more and all in one place so they would be easier to find! ANYWAY...THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HELPING ME!

Hey Cadillac Man I have the same problem with no headlights or hi beams. Can you help me with this please?
- 12-06-15 11:51 PM #15Originally Posted by Kornfed
Have you checked the basics like the fuses and relays?(always check those first)
Does the running lights work(first notch on the switch)
I do know the multi function stalk works the low beams and high beams just want to make sure on the other stuff first

Re: How to avoid repeated recalculation of the same function
Did you try using Set ( = ) instead of SetDelayed ( := ) when defining f? That is, try:

Woods Cross • After finding the end zone on its first three drives Friday, the Woods Cross offense never scored again. Instead, its defense clamped down to preserve a 26-23 win over Mountain Crest and an undefeated record.
Silenced after taking an early 20-point lead, Woods Cross leaned on a stout defense that shut down the Mountain Crest running game. The visiting Mustangs rushed for just 26 yards, relying almost solely on the arm of quarterback Jamison Webb.
The senior threw for 337 yards and two touchdowns on 23-of-29 passing, but made costly mistakes in the last four minutes of the game. Woods Cross' two-way star Sean Barton had just sacked him to pin Mountain Crest back on the 30. Facing a third-and-18, Webb's errant pass was snatched by senior Junior Vailolo.
With the help of Barton's block, Vailolo scampered 70 yards for his team's first touchdown in more than 33 minutes one that gave Wood Cross a 26-17 lead.
" 'I sure hope I can block for him to get it in there,' [I thought]," Barton said. "I wasn't sure our offense could. He's got to score it."
Mountain Crest scored one more touchdown, but it wasn't enough. Barton and quarterback Skyler Farnes had run wild on the Mustangs early, each breaking out runs of at least 90 yards.
Barton, who sat out just four plays the entire game, finished with 174 yards on 17 carries.
Farnes threw for 159 yards, but 44 came on one touchdown pass. He balanced spotty passing 11 of 28 and an interception in the end zone with an impressive 150 yards on 14 carries.
Woods Cross forced a fumble to start the second quarter, but mustered only a three-and-out. The Wildcats reeled off more big plays afterward but never regained their first-quarter form.
"They made adjustments we didn't really have an answer for," Barton said. "I don't know what to tell you exactly. They were stumping me too. … We just weren't converting well."
Woods Cross 26, Mountain Crest 23
R Woods Cross scores touchdowns on its first three drives to take a 20-0 lead.

Our primary colors
January 8th, 2008 | Published in Google Public Policy
(Cross-posted to Google LatLong)
A few days ago, we announced that Google Maps would be presenting real-time U.S. presidential nomination results for the Iowa caucuses. The map was so popular that we've decided to do it again, this time for the 2008 primary in New Hampshire.
Beginning today, users can direct their browsers to maps.google.com/nhprimary2008 and watch as live results stream in from towns across the state of New Hampshire. As the first official primary of the 2008 presidential race, these results play a large role in guiding decisions for primaries in other states. They may be a determinant of which candidates decide to stay in the race, and which decide to withdraw. It is also worth noting that from 1952, the first year the primary gained its influence, to now, almost every elected president won his party's New Hampshire primary.
If you'd like to take a 3D tour of the results, make sure to check the map tonight for a KML file presenting the results within Google Earth. Either way you view it, we hope you'll join us as we present these important decisions.

Weird weapons aren't the only strange things turning up at TSA checkpoints
Seized stun guns
TSA checkpoint agents continue to turn up odd-looking weapons on passengers and in their bags, but stranger things are sometimes voiced by passengers themselves.
According to the TSA's Web Blog, three passengers said some alarming things the week of May 28 that, in some cases, caused temporary checkpoint evacuations and inconvenience for other passengers. The threats all turned out not to be true, however.
A passenger at Detroit Metro Airport was asked for his boarding pass and ID, but responded: 'Yes, and I have two bombs and three guns' while laughing, according to TSA's "Blogger Bob" Burns. After being asked not to say that, the passenger said 'I do not have two bombs, only one bomb,' according to Burns.
A passenger at Preston Smith International Airport in Lubbock, TX , said Burns, told an airline employee that they were going to blow up American Airlines. When asked what he meant by that, he replied, 'You're about to find out,' according to Burns.
A passenger at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas said 'There is a bomb in my bag,' after being told her luggage had missed her flight, according to Burns.
Along with the bizarre statements, TSA agents continued to turn up a variety of equally bizarre weapons in passenger carry-on luggage, along with the usual weekly haul of loaded handguns and inert hand grenades.
TSA agents at Detroit Metro found a stun gun disguised to look like a smart phone and a stun gun that doubled as a kind of brass knuckle punching weapons, said Burns. Seven stun guns were found in carry-on baggage at TSA checkpoints all together the week of May 28, said Burns.
TSA agents working a checkpoint at Des Moines International Airport in Iowa discovered a knife that looked like a gun, he said.
Body scanners Newark Liberty, San Antonio Airport , Chicago O'Hare, Tampa, Phoenix Skyharbor, San Francisco, and Spokane international had incidents the week of May 28 in which body imaging scanners found drugs on passengers. Items were found everywhere from passengers' pockets to the breast, to the groin area at the airports, said Burns. In addition to those discoveries, a passenger at Tampa had a white drawstring pouch concealed in his underwear containing several types of Narcotics. Another passenger at Chicago O'Hare had marijuana taped to his ankle, said Burns, noting that the agency isn't looking for drugs, but finding nonmetallic items in areas where explosives could also be hidden shows the agency's imaging technology works.

Now, A Gas Tax Seems Like A Drop In The BucketBy
If Bill Clinton had to pick a year to pass a gasoline tax, this is shaping up as a fine one. Lawmakers are likely to settle on a 6 -a-gallon tax hike starting this fall, on top of a rise in producer costs caused by tougher environmental regulations. But brimful inventories and lackluster worldwide demand are pushing prices downward--and should muffle any tax-induced gasoline-price spike.
Pump prices are already unusually low. And they may drop a few pennies per gallon more this summer, rather than rising by a nickel or so as they usually do. "I haven't seen the typical school-is-out runup this year," says Barry Miller, owner of Miller's Exxon in Irving, Tex. Indeed, the national average for regular unleaded self-serve as of June 11 was $1.12 per gallon, compared with $1.16 a year ago. "It's a trend that could be reversed, but it appears to be gaining momentum," says Trilby Lundberg, publisher of The Lundberg Letter, which polls 10,000 service stations.
OVERSUPPLY. The downward pressure on prices grew following OPEC's divisive June meeting. After Kuwait raised fears of a production free-for-all by refusing to honor its third-quarter quotas, futures traders shaved more than $1 off crude prices, to less than $18.60 per barrel. Prices have since stabilized, as OPEC-watchers expect Saudi Arabia to intervene if Kuwait and quota busters such as Iran and Nigeria dump enough crude to tank prices. "If West Texas crude goes below $18 a barrel, the Saudis will cut production," says Standard & Poor's oil analyst Edward Graves.
Refiners also face tough fundamentals. Margins, already the lowest since 1988, continue to slip. And stocks of gasoline stand at 225 million bbl., vs. 220 million in a bloated 1992. "The last time inventories were this high relative to demand was 1987," says Ken Miller, an analyst at Purvin & Gertz in Houston.
The longer-term trend is for plentiful supplies, too. OPEC wants to boost its capacity from 26.6 million bbl. of crude a day to 33 million bbl. by 1995--a plan Kidder, Peabody & Co. analyst Bernard J. Picchi calls "outlandish," given worldwide recession and increased production by non-OPEC nations. To raise hard cash, the Russians lifted exports some 30% over last year. Meanwhile, the Iraqis are trying to persuade the U.N. to ease the embargo against its oil exports.
Refining overcapacity is another industry headache. Chevron, Shell Oil, Amoco, and others have shut refineries, taking some 500,000 bbl. a day out of commission since 1991. But upgrading remaining facilities has added a net of 350,000 bbl. a day of capacity, says Purvin & Gertz's Miller. At current sluggish demand levels, "that's about five years' worth of growth," he says. While the Energy Dept. expects U.S. consumption to pick up later this year, gasoline and motor-oil sales dropped 6.1% between the fourth quarter of 1989 and the first quarter of 1993. And recession in Europe and Japan will keep the world market soft.
GREEN FEES. With all these competitive pressures, why haven't gasoline prices fallen even more? The answer in large part: environmental regulation. The Clean Air Act of 1990 forced oil companies to invest in a variety of programs--from gasoline additives called oxygenates that cut carbon monoxide emissions in winter to reformulated gasoline blends that reduce evaporation in the summer months.
Because the regulations depend on local pollution levels and regional weather patterns, there's a jumble of price increases as companies try to pass the costs on to customers. Jerrold L. Levine, Amoco's director of corporate studies, says the company bumped up prices by 2 a gallon over the past three years to pay for programs to increase the vapor pressure of fuels. Last year, consumers forked over an extra 3 to 5 a gallon to pay for the introduction of oxygenates.
That's not the end of the hikes. In 1995, Amoco plans to lift local prices 6 to 8 per gallon for reformulated gasolines required to cut emissions in areas with severe ozone problems. In 1996, Levine says, Californians should begin paying 15 to 20 more a gallon at Amoco stations for special fuels required for the federally mandated Low Emission Vehicle program. Still, Big Oil may not be able to pass on all these environmental costs to consumers. "I'm afraid these companies are going to have to eat a substantial portion of the costs," says economist Philip K. Verleger Jr. of Charles River Associates Inc.
Tax hikes are another matter. Taxes accounted for 28% of gasoline's retail price last year, up from 22% in 1990, says Lundberg. But with prices as soft as they are, American motorists may hardly notice when Washington comes back for more.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - The Marist women's basketball team sent off its four seniors in style, rolling to a 79-50 win over Saint Peter's Friday night on Senior Night in McCann Arena in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) game.
Kristina Danella (Manalapan, N.J.) became the first Marist player to record a double-double this season with a game-high 20 points and 10 rebounds. Elizabeth Beynnon (Burlington, Vt.) had 16 points and a game-high five points while also collecting six rebounds. Sydney Coffey (New Hope, Minn.) and Casey Dulin (Milford, Conn.) were both also in double figures with 12 and 11 points and Dulin added eight rebounds. Madeline Blais (Exeter, N.H.) set new career-highs with nine points and seven rebounds.
The first half was close for the first 15 minutes as the Red Foxes (22-6, 17-0 MAAC) could not build a lead bigger than five points. Two Saint Peter's (2-26, 2-15 MAAC) free throws cut the lead to one, 26-25, with 5:38 remaining in the first half.
An 11-2 run, however, put Marist up by 10 at the midway point, 37-27. Beynnon scored the first three points of the run on a 1-2 effort from the free throw line and a baseline jumper on an assist from Leanne Ockenden (Syracuse, N.Y.). Following a Peacocks' basket, Danella converted a three-point play and, on the next trip down the court, hit another pair of free throw. Coffey closed out the run with a deep three-pointer, on another assist from Ockenden, with just seven seconds remaining in the half.
Marist opened the second half on an 8-2 run, on three-pointers by Danella and Dulin wrapped around two more free throws by Danella, to bring the score to 45-29 with 16:37 left to play.
Saint Peter's would score six straight points to pull within 10 at 45-35, but the Red Foxes tightened the defense and went on a 29-7 run over a 10:36 span to open a 32 point lead at 74-42 with 3:50 remaining. In the run, Dulin scored six consecutive points, Danella also had six points, and Coffey added six more on a three-pointer and a three-point play. Natalie Gomez (Andover, Mass.) scored all five of her points on a jumper and three-pointer while Beynnon added four points and Blais made a basket.
In the final minutes, Blais hit another deep three-pointer to set her career-high and senior walk-on Suzzett Garnett (The Bronx, N.Y.), who made her first career start, hit a layup, on an assist from fellow walk-on Maggie Gallagher (Stormville, N.Y.).
Marist closes out its regular season on Sunday with a 2 p.m. game at Fairfield. That game can be heard live on The Red Fox Network as well as on the radio on Rock 93.3 FM and iHeartRadio. A victory on Sunday would give the Red Foxes their third 18-0 MAAC season in the last six years.
Notes - Marist completed its fourth consecutive 9-0 season at McCann Arena against MAAC opponents. The Red Foxes have won 39 straight MAAC home games and 27 straight conference games overall, including the postseason... Marist is now 19-0 this season and 34-1 in the past two years when scoring at least 60 points... The Red Foxes' 17-game winning streak is currently the seventh longest in the country.

Choreographed by Stephen Page for the Australian Ballet, Alchemy premiered in Melbourne at the State Theatre, Victorian Arts Centre, on 13 September 1996. A commissioned work, it was part of Maina Gielgud's all Australian triple bill. The other works on that program were Meryl Tankard's The Deep End and Stanton Welch's Red Earth.
In four parts - 'Mercury', 'Salt', 'Lead' and 'Gold' - Alchemy was, in Stephen Page's words, 'a metaphor for mankind's propensity to quest for gold, versus our need to respect the spiritual essence of nature'. In his choreographer's notes, Page also explained the essence of each part:
Mercury: mother earth calls/a life force awakens/running hunger/she nurtures its journey
Salt: tears of salt/expose the soul/taste the earth/a sacred medicine
Lead: a storm brewing/industrial initiation/the harbinger of destruction/scars the earth
Gold: a morning star/abundant riches/earth's jewels/the power to corrupt
Alchemy was danced to music by David Page, created as a commissioned score. The score included vocals by David Page, Leah Purcell, Kirk Page, Connie Mitchell and Ningali with acoustic guitar by Steve Francis. Indigenous language groups represented in the vocals were Umpila, Yugambeh and Walmadjarri. Set design was by Fiona Foley, costume design by Jennifer Irwin and lighting design by Jo Mercurio. The opening night cast included principal artists Lisa Bolte, Miranda Coney, Steven Heathcote, Adam Marchant and David McAllister.

Steven Heathcote begins this interview with a discussion of his family background, his education and his early dance training in Perth with Kira Bousloff and Shelly Rae. He recounts some anecdotes about first seeing Rudolf Nureyev and discusses his student scholarship with West Australian Ballet and his work with Sian Stokes. He goes on to talk about moving to Melbourne to join the Australian Ballet School, his friendship with Paul Mercurio and his teachers and his fellow students, including teacher Bruce Morrow and student colleague David McAllister.
Heathcote then turns to his career with the Australian Ballet and discusses some of his early roles including those in Spartacus, Beyond Twelve, Equus and Romeo and Juliet and gives his opinion of the importance of the Australian Ballet's John Cranko repertoire. He talks at length about the nature of the Australian Ballet under the directorship of Maina Gielgud and also records his impressions of Anne Woolliams. The Australian Ballet's international tours are analysed, especially the Bicentennial tour to Russia, London and Greece, and the company's several tours to Asia and New York. There is also some discussion of the need for the Australian Ballet to tour.
Heathcote continues by talking about his guest appearance with American Ballet Theatre and in Cuba and spends some time talking about being coached by Gelsey Kirkaland while with American Ballet Theatre. Some of the choreographers in whose works he has performed and whom he talks about throughout the interview include Graeme Murphy, Stephen Page (including his role in Page's Alchemy), Stanton Welch, Natalie Weir and Jiri Kylian. He also discusses his own interest in choreography, talks briefly about coaching and teaching and discusses the differences in the company while it was under the directorship of Ross Stretton and as it is under David McAllister.
This interview was recorded at the end of Heathcote's twentieth year as a dancer with the Australian Ballet and the contents of the interview reflect the breadth and depth of Heathcote's experience and knowledge about the Australian Ballet. It also contains his thoughts about the responsibilities associated with his role as principal artist. Heathcote concludes the interview by discussing his wife and children and their attitude towards his career.

The retired police officer under investigation in a pipe bomb explosion in the Times Square subway station on Monday night came under scrutiny yesterday by federal authorities, who were investigating why he had in his home several federal firearms licenses in other people's names, a law enforcement official said.
The licenses were found when police detectives and agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives served a search warrant at the Mulberry Street apartment of the retired officer, Joseph Rodriguez, the official said. Mr. Rodriguez was forced to retire Wednesday on a disability pension because of psychological problems, police officials have said.
Detectives from the Police Department's Arson and Explosion Squad and its Internal Affairs Bureau have focused on Mr. Rodriguez, 27, in the explosion in the mezzanine leading to the A, C, and E subway lines. Mr. Rodriguez told the authorities that he saw a burning backpack after leaving the offices of the Manhattan Transit Task Force, which is in the subway station, on his penultimate day of work, and that he ushered several commuters to safety. But the police think he may have planted the bomb himself, several officials have said.
No charges have been brought against Mr. Rodriguez, whose lawyer has said he denies wrongdoing.
In the search of Mr. Rodriguez's apartment late Wednesday, detectives and federal agents found several expired federal firearms licenses, one in the name of a Manhattan gun dealer for whom he worked in 1998 and another in the name of a man from Pocono Pines, Pa., a law enforcement source said.
Investigators also took two laptop computers, a number of computer disks, two credit cards and some shotgun shells from the apartment, the official said.
William G. McMahon, the special agent in charge of the the alcohol and tobacco bureau's New York field division, would not comment on what was seized in the search, but said through a spokesman that his agency was working with the New York Police Department and that ''evidence taken from the residence has generated leads which A.T.F. is pursuing.''Continue reading the main story

Radios, sensors and other electronic devices that self-destruct and vanish on command may soon be in hands of American forces.
DARPA's Vanishing Programmable Resources (VAPR) program intends to develop "transient electronics": Gear just as robust and functional as current electronics that can dissolve and disappear into the environment when triggered.
On Valentine's day, the Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) will be holding a workshop to encourage the public to come forward with smart ideas for this sort of stuff.
After a mission is completed, it can be very difficult to track and recover every electronic device that was used; gadgets left on the battlefield might be captured by an enemy or found by a local and sold to an adversary. Once in unfriendly hands, the advanced technology could compromise the U.S. military's strategic technological advantage.
The VAPR program seeks to solve this problem by taking state of the art electronics and revolutionizing them with the ability to vanish on command.
Once triggered to dissolve, VAPR electronics would become useless up in enemy hands.
"DARPA is looking for a way to make electronics that last precisely as long as they are needed," DARPA program manager Alicia Jackson explained.
The research agency is looking for solutions that will trigger a breakdown -- beyond simply submerging the electronics in water. Breakdown could be triggered in a range of ways from a signal or the application of heat, for example.
Current degradable electronics methods tend to use polymers and biologically-derived materials. However, both produce limited results due to their poor electronic and in some cases weak mechanical properties.
An ideal solution to "transient" electronics would add the new characteristic without adversely affecting the performance of the electronics.
"We want to develop a revolutionary new class of electronics for a variety of systems whose transience does not require submersion in water. This is a tall order, and we imagine a multidisciplinary approach… Performers from the material science community will be sought to develop novel substrates," Jackson said.
"There's lots of room for innovation by clever people with diverse expertise."

Reading Scripture with the Church Fathers (edition 1998)
by Christopher A. Hall
Work details
Reading Scripture With the Church Fathers by Christopher A. Hall
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Substance: A brief introduction and overview of the eight "most important" church fathers (exegetes in the first few centuries after Christ), including biographical information and excerpts (very small) from their works. Includes an analysis of the importance of their views on scripture, and an explanation of how their thought applies today.
Includes a nod to feminist critics on why there are no "church mothers" despite there being several prominent and esteemed female exegetes (they just didn't write much, or it wasn't preserved).
Style: Lukewarm, but serviceable.
Includes: Athanasius (and thus perforce Arian, albeit as a heretic not a father), Gregory of Nazianzus, Basil the Great, John Chrysostom, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, Gregory the Great. Origen's work is also considered, although he is not ranked by Hall as a father because of his forays into now-heterodox thought.
PINK - Divine Services, Prayers, Liturgics, Chant, Scripture Study
Hall's book provides a neat counterpoint to Fitzmyer's. He explores how Church Fathers were both unified and at odds in how to read scripture, and how they run counter to the way biblical scholars work in the academy. His book is a description of the Antiochian and Alexandrian schools of exegesis in the first few centuries of Christianity, but also a defense of these exegetes and a call to reclaim them for today. This book is meant to serve as an overture to Hall's Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture series.
The Fathers were not tenured professors writing books in private offices. They were bishops, ministers, men whose reading of the Bible was done with an eye to homiletics and to the immediate needs of the Church. Their criteria for sound exegesis did not just include critical reading skills, but also the spiritual health of the exegete: just as sin blinds one to God, it blinds one to God's Word. We should pay attention to their mode of reading scripture not just because many are saints and Church Doctors, but because of their hermeneutical and historical closeness to Christ, their ability to hear the music of scripture that falls dead on our modern ears.
Hall goes on to describe eight of the major exegetes of the ancient Church, including Augustine, Basil, John Chrysostom, Athanasius, and Jerome. In really like how he describes their personal lives and the struggles they face: struggles between a call to ascetic contemplation and a need to serve the Church, between embracing the world or seeing its brokenness, between their scholarly sensibilities and the demands of the laity and leaders they served. These were men who fought heresies, such as Gnosticism and Arianism. At the end of describing these figures Hall points to good translations of their works for popular audiences, helping to bring ancient exegetes easily into the hands of modern readers.
Hall then goes on to compare the Antiochian school of exegesis with the Alexandrian. The Alexandrian school, with such famous figures as Ireneus, Origen, and Augustine, looked to highly speculative allegorical readings of scripture. They could find the deepest symbolism in even the most prosaic Levitical laws; the cloven hoof of a goat could represent the Father and the Son, as could any binary in the Bible. To me this was reminiscent of Jungian dream interpretation: they assume that there is deep, deep meaning in every small detail of the dream, and of course find what they are searching for. Allegorical interpretation is useful for "explaining away" factual contradictions in the text or places where God seems less than Godlike. Alexandrian exegetes, responding to the Jewish skeptics of Christ's Messianship and the Gnostics' own allegorical reading, used allegory as an apologetic tool. Yet without hermeneutical constraints, allegory easily turned into a free-for-all more telling of the exegete's imagination than the text itself. Ironically, the same criticism is given to dream analysts
Antiochian exegetes such as Theophilus of Antioch or John Chrysostom were more careful. While they were not above finding figurative meaning in scripture, they were clear that no figurative reading could contradict or take precedent over the literal meaning of a text. While there were surely viscious debates between these schools, Hall leads the reader through an examination of various exegetes' comments on Jesus' saying that a rich man's attainment of salvation is harder than putting a camel through the eye of a needle. The exegetes don't differ as much as one might think. While there were some wacky allegorists (Origen comes to mind), perhaps the polemics exaggerate the issue.
Hall holds up ancient Biblical reading as a way out of two dilemmas faced in the academy. One is a modernist way of reading scripture: a rational, individual reader publishes research marked as their own corner. The other is the postmodern lapse into subjectivism. What criteria can we have for reading scripture if ultimately it's only our own solipsistic perspective? Hall's mode of returning to the Fathers, which he terms paleo-orthodoxy, provides an out by placing all scholarship in the community and needs of the Church. His readings are always theological. The Fathers unanimously read every verse of the Bible in light of Christ, whether allegorically or more literally.
While I enjoyed Hall's book, his polemics at the end seemed unnecessary. I will keep in mind that this is published by InterVarsity Press, an Evangelical group, so perhaps his appeal to tradition needs to be defended more clearly. As a Catholic it seemed redundant. But perhaps this is my own failure to understand the mindset of his audience, a mindset that might disregard any Christian writer before Luther and Calvin. (Never mind that Luther was himself a Catholic monk nurtured on the Fathers!) Despite this annoyance, Hall's book is a solid user friendly introduction to how the Fathers read scripture.
Quite interesting.
Hall employs a good deal of filler. The book could be reduced to half its size. But, then again, the subject could take up volumes as there is much to be said — of substance. An "OK" introduction. JND Kelly is much better.

How did this new album and overall concept for it come about, and what are your ultimate goals with it?
I had been working on this project for about 4 years. With this particular project, I wanted to tell a story about my life experiences through my music so there were a lot of songs that I wrote that didnt make this project because I did not feel that they best represented the autobiographical musical content that best described those experiences. There is a rhyme and reason behind every tune on my project and every song is linked to the title, This Is My Life.
What do you find to be the most challenging aspect of recording a new album?
What I found most challenging is continuously writing and cutting songs that did not fit the vision for my project. Some songs were good but simply just got too old to my ear and I had grew out of them.
What in your life outside of your music drives you in a creative sense?
A myriad of things drive my creativity such as long drives, neighborhoods, family time, the ocean, etc. My creativity is driven through life experiences overall.
At what point in your life did you make the decision to become a professional musician and actually record your own albums?
I had always wanted to do my own solo project but when I was a preteen I dreamed of being a singer. As I got older, I realized that singing with my voice was not so much my thing but I translated my love of singing to an instrument that I love so much the bass.
Is being one of the few prominent women performers mostly fulfilling, or do you find it to be a challenge?
I would have to say neither. Although I am well aware that there are many that equate gender with musical abilities I dont pay attention to that. I work on being the best musician that I can be regardless of gender stereotypes or misconceptions.
What would be the most important piece of advice youd impart to a young musician just starting out in the jazz/smooth jazz arena?
I would say this to ALL young musicians: BE AUTHENTIC!!! There is already a Brian Culbertson, Eric Darius, Gerald Albright, Marcus Miller, George Duke, George Benson, etc. It is important to have a road map when you are first starting out but instead of trying to be a clone of another artist focus on building yourself and being the best YOU that you can be.

Faith is a journey… and we can struggle with the walk alone, or we can find strength and support in doing it together.
And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I'll be there. (Matthew 18:20 MSG)
BreakThrough is a group of guys who want to grow more in God, and recognise that it's easier to go the road if we do it together. Our (God-given) vision is to be men of God, men of prayer, seeking after God's own heart, 'stepping up to the plate', and to be all that God seeks for us. None of us is perfect, that's why it's great to have support and encouragement from other guys on the same journey.
… those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. (Romans 8:14 NIV)

"Anyone who's using water when they're not supposed to is stealing from the rest of the city," he said.
Police Chief Ken Carpenter said violating the city ordinance and using the system on a day when it is not allowed is a class C misdemeanor and could result in a fine up to $750, to be determined by the court.
City Manager Shayne Scott said they have a water shortage, and there have been times recently when they believed they may have to turn the system off.
"We're in dire straights with our water," he said.
City Councilmember Steve Weston said he had spoken with many residents who see that Yankee Meadows reservoir is full and don't believe there is a water problem.
Landes said many people do not understand that only 25 percent of Yankee belongs to Parowan City. The irrigation company, or the valley's farmers, own 75 percent of the water in the reservoir.
Scott explained that water comes from Yankee into the "forebay," and the system draws from that. Every day it goes down, and normally refills, but it isn't refilling like it should this year, and the water level at Yankee is decreasing.
Residents who have pressurized irrigation are allowed to water only on their two designated days, and there is absolutely no Sunday watering allowed this year.
Aldo Biasi, of Parowan Public Works, said it is obvious that people are abusing the system when he sees so much water leaving the forebay on Sunday.
Scott said current policy is that people will receive three warnings before their water is shut off, and that system is not working. There isn't anyone designated to go around giving out warnings, though several employees, including himself, have taken some time to do it.
Landes said those warnings are for having the pressurized irrigation water to that property shut off, but the police don't need to wait for a warning to be given to issue citations. Anyone using the system not on his or her designated day or during unacceptable times (between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.) is violating city ordinance and may be cited.
The council decided to have letters sent out to residents to inform them of the situation's seriousness and the police department was directed to begin enforcing the ordinance.
Landes also asked residents to be conscious of the water shortage and only use what they need on the days they are allowed to use the system.
Also at the meeting, which was attended by residents of 400 North, the council discussed problems of people speeding on that road. Resident Kelly Carter said she believes they need yield or stop signs to make people slow down.
"It is a huge problem," she said.
"I hate stop signs, but I don't want somebody run over," she added.
Resident Weston Reese said many people in the community treat it like it is a major thoroughfare and not a residential area. He said more signage needs to be posted reminding of the speed limit and that there are children present.
Carter said she does not believe it will make a difference because everyone knows the speed limit and knows there are children there, and doesn't seem to think their speeding is a problem.
The council was hesitant to put in a four-way stop after a discussion at a meeting earlier this year that four-way stops are dangerous intersections because they create a false sense of security.
Public works will be putting up more signage and police will be patrolling the area as much as possible. The council will discuss the issue again in about 60 days, they said, to see if the new signage has been enough.

ORANGE Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Tuesday that Texas would not follow in the footsteps of the state of Arizona in dealing with the illegal immigration issue.
Arizona lawmakers recently approved an immigration bill that would make it a state crime for illegal immigrants to not have an alien registration document. It also requires police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are in the country illegally.
Gov. Perry was in Orange for the reopening of the Honeywell Specialty Additives facility that was severely damaged by Hurricane Ike in 2008.
Perry said no when asked if Texas would in the future pass a law such as Arizonas.
The bigger issue has to do with the abysmal border security, Perry said. There has been a total lack of effort by the federal government to protect our borders. In 2005 I first asked to bring in propelled drones to use as a tool. The feds have no interest in securing our borders. Security requires coordination from local, state and federal governments. We in Texas need to focus on what we can do.
We are spending billions on the war on terror, which I fully support, but we need the same kind of support with our borders.

The Maine State Fire Marshal's Office says two bodies have been recovered from the rubble of a house that burned in Sumner last night.
Investigators say the bodies are likely those of 52 year old Robert Keach and his 60 year old sister Della Keach.
The fire was reported at 10:30 last night by a neighbor who heard an explosion.
The blaze destroyed the home on Barrows Road where the two have reportedly lived for decades.
Officials say the cold and lack of water made it tough to fight the fire.
The home was primarily heated with wood.
Investigators say they've found no sign of working smoke detectors.
The fire marshal's office says the damage is so extensive, it might not be able to find a cause.
So far six people have died in fires in Maine this year.

Drying Box Saves Water-Damaged Phones
DryBox pulls the moisture out of wet devices in about 25 minutes.
Use a vacuum cleaner, put it in a bag of uncooked rice, lay it on absorbent towels or napkins–these are just some of the supposed solutions to saving a water-damaged cellular phone. Texas-based DryBox Rescue proposes a different fix–stick the wet phone inside their patent-pending drying chamber.
DryBox uses a patent-pending chamber that 'rapidly removes moisture at the molecular level from small electronic devices.' The drying process takes just under half an hour and the company claims an 80% success rate when it comes to saving water-damaged phones.
Currently, the DryBox locations are in San Antonio and Austin in Texas, but the brand is open for stores to become authorized dealers or partners.


text: An impressive debut season in La Liga for Celta Vigo – scoring 12 goals in 34 appearances – earned Iago Aspas his big move to the Premier League. The Spaniard has failed to impress as Liverpool make their march towards the league title. Aspas hasn't started a Premier League game since New Year's Day, and his cameo appearance since have all been in the final moments. Liverpool are building for the future, and Aspas hasn't demonstrated enough ability to be considered part of this plan. If Brendan Rodgers looks to revamp his squad this summer, expect to see Iago Aspas make way.

Wednesday afternoon Houston, Tex. native Craig Loston (6-1, 190, 4.57), the top-ranked safety in the nation according to Scout.com, verbally committed to the Clemson coaching staff.
Loston told the news to Clemson head coach Tommy Bowden Wednesday evening.
"I tried to call Coach Vic (Koenning) and he didn't answer," he said. "My coach talked with Coach (Billy) Napier and he told me to call coach Bowden. I called him and he wasn't available so I called him back in 10 minutes. I told him I wanted to come to Clemson. He was pretty excited."
Why did he decide he wanted to commit to Clemson today?
"I just feel like that is where I want to be. I feel at home at Clemson. I know I will get a chance to play early," replied Loston. "It was the perfect time. I was just tired of everything. I was ready to get it over."
How firm is his commitment to the Tigers?
"I am going to take some other visits, but I am firm. I think Clemson is going to be my final destination," replied Loston.
The commitment comes one day after defensive coordinator Vic Koenning and recruiting coordinator/tight ends coach Billy Napier visited Loston's school.
Loston also visited Clemson for the Orange & White game earlier in the month.
As an interesting side note, Loston plans to enroll at Clemson in January.
"I am excited. I am ready to go," he added. "I can't wait to get there."
Loston chose the Tigers over offers from many schools around the country, including Georgia, LSU, Miami, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Southern California.
During his junior season, Loston had 83 tackles and three interceptions defensively. On offense, he had 21 catches for 847 yards and seven touchdowns. He also scored four touchdowns on special teams (two kickoff, two punt return) as a return specialist.
He was also the top safety at the Scout.com/Under Armour Combine in Dallas earlier in this month when he posted a 4.57 time in the 40 and a 10-foot-1 broad jump.
For his efforts, he was named the MVP of the camp.
A five-star safety, Loston is also the Tigers' seventh verbal commitment for the 2009 class.

Very suitable flat
My wife and I enjoyed staying at the top floor flat for a week. It is well located. Kitchen has all the necessary appliances, wifi connection worked well, the bed in the bedroom was very comfortable, good hot shower, sitting room with nice view and lots of light. In summary, would defiantly stay again.
Great Home Base for Our Trip To London
We have just left six days in the top floor, one bedroom flat.
Everything was perfect and just as described.
We took the tube from Heathrow to Hammersmith station and a cab from the station, as suggested by Georgia. It was simple and easy to navigate. We received the keys and a tour of the flat from George as soon as we arrived. The flat was clean and bright and although there was a "heat wave" the two fans and open windows made the flat very comfortable. The bed was extremely comfortable as well. The location was very quiet while we we were there and we never were disturbed by noise inside or outside of the flat. There are stores nearby as well as restaurants of every kind. The location is perfect for touring around London and for getting back and forth from the airport. George was very helpful in getting us a ride to the airport and assisting us with our boarding passes.
A great stay with no disappointments.
A great home base for our trip to London.
Lovely flat
My sister and I stayed in the top floor flat (1 bedroom) at the end of May. The flat is easy to find from the Shepherd's Bush station and everything you need (groceries, etc) are within a short walking distance. The property was exactly as described, with a nicely updated kitchen/bathroom. The furnishings are basic but clean and neat - the bed is very comfortable, the internet is reliable, and the shower has good pressure and plenty of hot water.
The one thing to note is that the neighbors on either side (not in the same building but in the adjacent flats on the top floor) could be noisy late at night/early in the morning. It wasn't a huge problem for us but something to take into consideration if you're searching for absolute peace and quiet (which you probably won't find in London!). We definitely recommend this flat!
Top Floor Flat is great!
From the moment when I first contacted Georgia until after we left the flat we rented, she and George were very helpful and attentive. Georgia responded to our emails very promptly and shortly that we came back home sent us the information regarding the refundable deposit. George received us with a smile and good humor although we arrived late and later than expected, we have no words to thank him for his attentiveness and receptiveness. The place is very well located in Zone 1, less than two blocks from an underground station, and very close to restaurants, grocery stores, and a very large Westfield mall. The flat was great, spacious, clean, and had everything and more than we needed. The flat has a small hallway, kitchen, living/dining room, bathroom, and bedroom with two closets. The kitchen is well equipped with a fridge, stove, microwave, and washer/dryer.The shower was great and had strong pressure. The bed and apartment in general were extremely comfortable and convenient for the two of us. I highly recommend this place. It was certainly an overall pleasant experience. Thank you George and Georgia!
Lovely clean flat!
The flat was very clean and well equipped. Very comfortable bed, nice linens. Apartment was cozy - suitable for 1 or 2 people. The location worked very well - quiet neighborhood and short walk to the tube with shops and restaurants nearby. Could access theater district and central London in 20 minutes. Loved the suggestion for the Easy Bus for transportation to and from Heathrow. It was easy, efficient and inexpensive! Took it each way and we were the only passengers! Owners were helpful and late arrival was no problem and didn't incur additional charges.
Top Floor Flat, Sinclair Gardens, London
My wife and I stayed here for 12 nights during August 2010. It's a lovely, reasonably priced, well-appointed flat in an excellent location. It's 20 mins from central London on the tube (Shepherds Bush station on the central line is just around the corner), and 10 minutes walk from a huge shopping centre (Westfield) with lots of restaurants (Wahaca serves very good Mexican food), supermarkets (Waitrose, the food hall in Marks and Spencer), department stores, a cinema, etc.
The flat itself is in a good area--on a decent, quiet street with almost no traffic noise. The neighbours are very quiet as well. The flat is very safe and secure.
The flat has a separate lounge with large french doors leading out to a small balcony, a bedroom, a bathroom/toilet, and a good kitchen with fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, gas hob and electric oven. In the kitchen, all the appliances are new and in good working order. Pots and pans, kitchen utensils, and crockery are all provided.
The bedroom is a good size with lots of storage and a comfortable bed, though you might find the latter to be a little bit small if you are much taller or bigger than average.
The bathroom is clean and tidy. It has a shower over the bath, with very good water pressure, which is not universal in London.
The flat is clean and well-presented in general and has modern decor.
Georgia, our contact, is extremely helpful and well-organised. She arranged our rental at short notice without any problem at all. She also arranged for a serviceman to check our gas boiler, literally within a matter of minutes, after a water leak on the same road momentarily lowered the water pressure.
The only real downside to the flat is that you have to climb 2 flights of stairs to reach it (there is no lift in the building), which might be awkward if you have very heavy luggage or find it difficult to climb stairs in general.
Apart from that minor caveat, my wife and I would heartily recommend the flat to anyone looking for a holiday rental in London. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the flat and felt like we were in our own home. Staying here is much cheaper, quieter, and more comfortable than staying in a hotel in the centre, and is almost as convenient. The central line runs until after midnight, and there are also nightbuses from the centre of town to Shepherds Bush. If we visit London again, this flat would be our first choice for a place to stay.
Activity and Interests
The property is located in Sinclair Gardens West Kensington W14 a residential area of London close to Holland Park and Olympia. The location is serviced by 3 Underground Stations - Shepherds Bush (Central Line), Olympia (District Line) or Hammersmith (Piccadilly Line) which are all within easy access. There are also numerous buses to central London locations, such as Marble Arch, Oxford Street, High Street Kensington, South Kensington, Westminster, Victoria. The flats are within walking distance or a bus ride to Portobello Market and fashionable Holland Park. There are shops, cafes, bars, restaurants and pubs in the immediate area as well as the large Westfield shopping centre, cinema complex. The flats are also within easy reach of Heathrow or Gatwick airport.

My husband got the S3 in October and he likes it, he doesnt have any complaints. He has a few co workers that have the iphone 4 and 5 have complained about screen freeze and other stuff and a few that love there phones and have no complaints a couple have switced and got android phones. Not all are on the same plans so that might play into problems one might have. I think over all both phones are nice in their own way. My husband works at a coal dock and he has his phone in an otterbox to give added protection in case he should drop his. Now I was due for an upgrade and was looking at S3 and iphone5 at the same time he got his phone. After doing a little research and comparisons and playing with the diffrent phones, I decided insted to pre ordered the Galaxy Note 2.I got it November 28 and I must say this phone does a lot. I really use the duel screen option a lot. I did not pre judge the phone based on the nagitive things people say about its size either and I am a tiny lady not even 5 feet. This phone is amazing! And I have yet to drop my phone like I am prone to do with my other phones I have had in the past. Over all I am in LOVE with this phone lol

The Sony Xperia L is a mid-range handset with a 4.3 inch screen and a WVGA resolution combining to produce a 228ppi pixel density. A dual-core 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8230 processor is under the hood, with an Adreno 305 GPU aboard. With 1GB of RAM and 8GB of native storage inside, this is certainly not a top-shelf smartphone. But where Sony put all of its effort on this model is with the rear-facing camera. The snapper on back is 8MP with an Exmor RS sensor that has an HDR mode just like the flagship Sony Xperia Z. The camera captures video at 720p. The front facing camera weighs in at .3MP.
Without LTE, we won't see this model adorn the shelves of the top U.S. carriers, but we could see Sony try to grab some business from smaller carriers and from its own sales efforts.

4. In the sentence "Paula nos dice la verdad."
(Paula tells the truth to us.) Is the "nos" a direct or indirect object pronoun? direct
8. Ya lo ___veo___ (ver), (I can see that)
Please re-write the following sentences (making them grammatically correct) adding an indirect object pronoun before the conjugated verb to represent the underlined indirect object, just as done in the example:
Maria da el regalo a nosotros .
Maria nos da el regalo.
14. Yo doy el libro a Ana.Yo doy el libro de Ana.
15. Sara manda la carta a Olivia. (Sara sends the letter to Olivia.)Sara envia una carta Olivia.
16. Tú regalas el perro a mí.Darle al perro que me
18. Mario ___e'l____ hablar mucho (a lot).
19. Alberto y yo viajamos (travel) mucho.Nosotros __conducimos_____ a Alemania y a Brazil.
4. If you have a good English class, with the difference between direct and indirect object pronouns, this will be easy to tell. Ask yourself the question:
What does Paula tell? The answer = the truth, gives you the DIRECT OBJECT.
Now, ask yourself the question: "TO WHOM?" TO US, gives you the indirect-object pronoun.
Actually you are now working with 3 types of ponouns. The direct-object (English = me, you, him, her, it, us, them, yo-all) plus the indirect-object pronoun. *****one of these words will either be stated or UNDERSTOOD, as in #4. TO, FOR, AT, FROM (me, you, him, her, it, us, them, you-all)
Is there any difference in the Spanish? Have a close look:
Direct Object = me, te, lo, la, nos, los, las
Indirect Object = me, te, le, nos, les
If you have gotten to double object pronouns in a sentence, the direct object goes directly in front of the conjugated verb (except in affirmative commands) and the indirect-object pronoun in front of it. Here is the word order: subject + indirect object + direct object + conjugated verb, as in:
Ella me lo da. = She to me it gives (literally)( but translated: She gives it to me.
IF the indirect-object pronoun is le or les and is followed by an "l" direct object (lo, la, los, las), it CHANGES to "se." Yo le doy la pluma. Yo se la doy.
Confused yet? Take one step at a time, because now we are adding the prepositional pronoun. That means the pronoun follows "de" (usually), a, por, para, etc. There is a list of prepositions but you don't need that now.
Back to number 4. "nos" is the indirect-object pronoun. If you don't see why, go back to the beginning of all this explanation.
#8. I have no idea why this is even there. It is NOT a model/example of what you are to do. Yo lo veo = I see you (or him, it = masculine singular noun) What you have in parentheses (I can see that = Yo puedo ver eso.) NOTHING matches with what you have.
Study the example again. This is what you are to do. YOU SEE: a mí, you WRITE me
a ti = te
a él/ella/usted = le
a nosotros/nosotras = nos
a ellos/ellas/ustedes = les
14. Yo le doy el libro (a Ana clarifies the "le" since it could be to her, to him, to you WITHOUT SPELLING IT OUT, as a Ana has to be "to her."
15. Look at the insntructions again = an indirect object pronoun in front of the conjuaged verb. You don't even supply one. What is the correct answer?
Sara LE manda la carta a Olivia.
16. Notice that most of the sentence stays the same as the basic sentence. You are only adding the indirect object.
Tú me regalas el perro a mí.
18. I have no idea at all! I COULD goess: Mario talks to him a lot? = Mario le habla mucho a él. (but that is purely a guess)
19. PROBABLY it's "to those 2 places" if you are to do the same thing as above.
Nosotros les conducimos a Alemania y al Brasil. (the correct Spanish for Brazil is "el Brasil.")
Again, you'd best be asking lots of questions!

Idle adjustment?
Is there anyway to self adjust the throttle a tad higher on a 2000 540i?
I did read somewhere (cant find it now) that you can but not sure where to do it?
My idle is at 400ish at idle when warm. And it surges a bit when its cold. No codes present.
Also are the peake code readers better than the Innova i normally use for these BMW's?
Get INPA and ncs expert. It's an electronic TB so that's the only way to do it
No mechanical adjustment for the idle. It can be raised if you connect into the DME, however it shouldn't be surging. Fixing that may bring the idle up to where it should be.
Have you ever cleaned the throttle body and MAF. Also check all of the ducts from the MAF to the throttle body for cracks, same for the vacuum lines under the top engine cover.
Not sure what Innova you have but most OBD readers are better, quicker, and easier to use than a Peake, IMHO.
You got some work to do--clean the throttlebody and search and find where you have vacuum leaks--that the problems your facing--not bad--just gotta do some work
So, it seems i found my issue. MAF i guess it was on its way out. Car has not stalled and its been 2 weeks now. Tried a aftermarket one and it was crap. Ordered a Bosch and all is good. I posted wht was going on because it is rare that members do.
Thanks for the feedback. Sadly, you are correct.
Would an idle, halfway between the first mark and 1k be abnormal? :dunno: Too high? It's an auto.
If yours is reading correctly, it seems a little high. But i would not worry about it much. The only thing i have read about the idle being to high is related to the throttle body. Have you messed with it ??? Have you cleaned it??
No, haven't touched the intake system. Replaced VCG, that's all. Idle didn't change before/after, been at 750 (I guess) since I bought the car. Doing a DISA rebuild this weekend, I'll check the hoses closely. Think I need CCV for good measure and restful sleep.
