Picked up Greg Bear's Slant and Anvil of Stars as well as Frank Herbert + Bill Ransom's The Jesus Incident. Thank you, Alpha Centauri manual recommended reading list!
Just finished The blinding knife by brent weeks 2nd novel in the lightbringer series
Its a good book tho the magic system he use's in it is right out of magic the card game,I found the night angel triogy much better.But as this is only 2 of 3(4?) it still has a way to go.
Before that it was way of kings by brandon sanderson,I loved this book even tho the setting took awhile to get into.A very good read if a bit slow at times now i just need him to finish the next one.
i need to make a choice between starting:A song of ice and fire or the wheel of time i may get the first books at the same time and see which one grabs me more.
Realising that I've got quite a few new Discworld books to read (it has been ages since I've read one) I naturally decided to start the entire series again from the beginning. Can't really remember what age I was when I started reading them but it's quite possible I was about 12 and I'm sure that a lot of both the clever social commentary and smut went over my head at the time so I reckon I'm enjoying them even more this time around (or underestimating younger me!). So far I think my favourites then are still the ones I'm enjoying most. While things don't fully start hitting their stride for me until Mort the opening books are damned good considering the amount of invention involved in coming up with the setting in the first place. Currently got to Pyramids, which I'd entirely forgotten about and perhaps justifiably as in my mind it's definitely the weakest so far. It still raises some chuckles and has some clever bits but lacks a bit of the spark of the others. Looking forward to the start of the Guards thread, some of those were among my favourites.
Recently finished the Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson, first book was good, by the third I was only still reading it because it was the third in a trilogy. I really must learn to give up on books every now and again, I's save myself so much time.
Nearly finished King Rat by China Meiville, which is pretty good, although not as good as his later novels.
Next on the list is The Hydrogen Sonata by Iain M Banks followed by Cloud Atlas.
Then I'll have to start digging through the many pages and recommendations of this thread (only just found it!)
I've recently read Liars and Outliers: Enabling the Thrust that Society Needs to Thrive by Bruce Schneier. It takes an interesting look at thrust and it's role in modern society, along with issues like security and game theory. I really enjoyed reading this book and recommend it to anyone who is interested in any of these subjects.
I read The Red Knight, by Miles Cameron, over Christmas and New Year (it was my treat to myself, and what a treat it was). I really, really enjoyed this book, so there's a bit of a wall of text incoming...
Firstly, I'll get the negative out of the way. It is a very well written story, but the copy I picked up was littered with typos and erros. At first I dismissed/ignored them, as it was things like using 1 s for a name that had 2 s' previously, or adding/dropping an e from the end of a name. I thought this was maybe just showing differences between characters, and how they spelled this town's name or similar. Then there was a little more, and I thought it might have been down to ignorance/illiteracy of characters and the current POV... getting there/their mixed up, stuff like that. Then, I thought that maybe, just maybe, it was some sort of secret code, a grimoire or cypher hidden in the text. Then I realised that no, it's just badly edited. Which is a terrible shame, because the book is so brilliantly written and so much fun.
Edit: Short plot synopsis... The Red Knight, a somewhat mysterious, young mercenary knight turns up to take a contract from some Nuns living in a Fortress. They're being attacked by creatures of the Wild, Nature in opposition to man, which is viewed as the work of Satan and all kinds of Evil. But, as you'd expect, it isn't going to be as easy as hunting down a Wyvern or two... there's much more going on than that, and even more going on behind that. War is coming, and they're on the front line, with the very future of the Kingdom at stake.
It was terrific... a well paced, rollicking, action packed novel, full of emotion and charm. A great book by itself but also a wonderful introduction to the world and the planned series (the Traitor Son Cycle, 5 books planned/outlined). "Meaty" would be how I'd describe it. The plot is complicated enough that there's plenty to chew on and think on, but not so convoluted that it ever gets tiresome... but, you still know a 2nd read through is going to show you something more. It does have a wonderful streak of darkness and cynicism and humour but, somewhat refreshingly, the darkness doesn't cloud the entire story... there are genuine moments of love and beauty in there (the characters of the King and Queen being a great example of this). It has a glorious cast of characters, well written, well rounded, believable, but still brimming with character and personalities... Along with the Red Knight himself, Bad Tom was stand out for me ("I have a magic sword, I wanna go try it on something!"). There's the subversion of the tropes and standards of fantasy that we come to expect from modern fantasy... the main antagonist is like an evil Treebeard for example. Good dialogue ("Lachlan for Aa!" is my new catchphrase, and the scene were Bad Tom breaks into tears and professes his love is just wonderful... I read it 3 times, laughing, crying, then doing both at the same time), great action/fighting scenes, well thought out 'Magic system', even some lovely little illustrations at the start of chapters. I think this book really deserves some attention... if you like some GRR Martin, Abercrombie, Erikson, Glen Cook type fantasy, then please do yourself a favour and give this book a look. You'll also be doing me a favour, because I really want to see this series and this author continue and succeed.
For those who are interested and still reading my lengthy endorsement, Miles Cameron is actually the pseudonym of one Christian Cameron, a noted (Canadian) author of historical fiction, Medieval Historian, former US Army Officer, and re-enactor (both military and non-military). While his previous books have been History with fiction thrown in, this is Fantasy fiction heavily informed by Historical knowledge... It's set in an analogue of our world, where the Arthurian vision of Chivalry exists, along with all those things (Dragons and Boglins and Trolls) that the Knights of fable fought against. It's an exploration of Hermeticism, the connections between Christianity and Chivalry, the struggle and opposition between Man and Nature. Similar to the Malazan world being so informed by Erikson and Esselmont's knowledge of archaeology, history and anthropology, this is heavily informed by Cameron's knowledge of history, craft, economics, armour, fencing, warfare and military organisation. It's the sort of book in which people don't put on helmets... they have their Squires/Valets manoeuvre the aventail of their bascinets over their gorget and so on... but, it doesn't get bogged down in pages and pages of dry descriptions of things like that, it's all weaved so well into the storytelling and the action. Cameron has also stated that he owes a terrific debt to Erikson, and that he considers the MBotF the 2nd best fantasy series ever (behind LOTR), and the greatest example of plotting in a book series ever. I have a feeling that it was the MBotF that influenced/inspired Cameron to make the switch from Historical fiction to Fantasy, and I have high hopes for the whole series story because of this.
Anyway... if you are at all interested, it's out in the US in 2 weeks time, and available in the UK just now. There's a website for the series as a whole, with some good stuff on it... the essay on Story/World is well worth a read, and there are some additional chapters exclusively on there.
I'd give it 8 1/2 dead Wyverns out of 10. Would have been 9 or 9 1/2 if not for the poor editing, but please don't let that detract from any interest you may have.
I've read a lot of books with glaring typos and grammatical errors recently, even misplaced full stops. I don't understand how they manage to have such sloppy editing.
I dunno what Nalano's saying, but for The Red Knight, it's down to it being an advance/TPB copy, and being released in the UK earlier than US/ROW. It's all been fixed for the e-Book editions, and for the US release. Copy editing was rushed the edition I received.
Just polished off No Easy Day which I got for Christmas. Although it's written in a pretty simplistic way, it's a fairly engaging account of the selection and work of a DEVGRU operator, culminating in the raid on Abbottabad.
Currently working my way through Empire Made Me: An Englishman Adrift in Shanghai by Robert Bickers. Part Biography, part history and part travel guide, it follows the life of an officer in the Shanghai Municipal Police in the 1920's. The main subject, Richard Tinkler, isn't particularly likable but the book captures the decadence, corruption and violence of early 20th century Shanghai really well.
Finally got around to reading my way through, Joe Abercrombie's stuff, and I see what all the fuss was about. The Heroes in particular was probably the fantasy novel I enjoyed the most since China Mieville's The Scar (apparently I have a thing for pithy The X titles?). The only trouble is, once I finish Red Country, I'm going to find myself suddenly short on books- might have to start trawling this thread for ideas...
I know I'll be trawling the bookshops for A memory of light today.

Sometimes, even having the best intentions of maintaining your raised garden bed just do not work out. If you are building raised garden beds in your backyard to grow fruits, vegetables or flowers, it is quite easy to make mistakes that could end up costing you significantly – in additional monetary costs, reduced produce yields, and so on.
Avoid these mistakes and you'll have more success…
1. Don't Use Chemical Fertilizers. These will give your vegetables a boost, but they add toxins and kill all of the good microorganisms living in the garden's soil. By killing those, your plants will not produce as much and will need more hands on attention from you.
2. Don't Forget About It. Raised garden beds do require a great deal of organization and planning. Once in place, they are less likely to need wedding than traditional, at ground level gardens. However, plan to spend an hour or two a week out in your garden pruning and trimming. This will boost the overall results you get.
3. Don't Forget to Plan. Each type of plant you put into this type of garden will need special nutrients. You can add all natural nutrients and organic product to your soils to boost the nutrient level if a plant needs it. However, don't just plant anything here. Instead, plant what the soil is rich in or turn to supplementing with organic nutrients.
4. Don't just any soil. Look for top quality, organic soil for your garden. There is a BIG difference between organic soils and dirt, too. Dirt contains few nutrients. You want soil that is damp when you get it, as this indicates the microorganisms are alive and doing well. Products with chemical fertilizers do not have the same consistency.
5. Stuffing It Doesn't Help. You will get more produce and results from plants that are not overcrowded. If you want to grow a great deal, use more than one raised garden bed to make it happen. This is the only method you can use to increase the overall production. Too much will end up harming your plants' ability to grow.
6. Don't Get Rid of All the Pests. Did you know that earthworms and other non-plant eating pests are doing more good than harm to your garden? Worms navigate the soil and eat debris, creating more nutrients for the plant to grow in. In addition, the trails they leave behind help to aerate the soil to encourage plant rooms to do well.

Almost 10 months after being arrested on suspicion of driving drunk in Metairie, Joe Morgan — a wide receiver for the Saints for the past three seasons — agreed to try to complete a diversion program to avoid prosecution on charges related to the case.
Morgan opted for the program in 1st Jefferson Parish Court Judge Rebecca M. Olivier's section on Tuesday. Morgan was invited to join the program by the District Attorney's Office and must now work to complete its requirements, which are "rigorous," said the player's lawyer, Donald "Chick" Foret.
Typically, in Jefferson, diversion program participants are young and face nonviolent charges, and they are provided with monitoring and social services such as counseling as an alternative to being tried. It is not unusual for this to be offered to a defendant such as Morgan, who turns 26 on March 23 and is accused of first-offense DWI.
As a procedural matter, the DWI case against the player was dismissed after Olivier denied a joint request for a continuance on Morgan's trial date, which had been set for Tuesday. The same was expected to happen to several other defendants in unrelated cases who were scheduled for trial Tuesday but were choosing diversion.
However, the D.A.'s Office can reinstitute the cases against Morgan and the others if it has to at a later date.
Foret said Morgan — who appeared in court wearing a dark business suit as well as a tie — would not be making any statements on Tuesday.
Morgan was arrested the morning of May 25 after a State Police trooper found him napping in his car, which had a flat tire and was pulled off to the side of the road near the intersection of Earhart Expressway and North Causeway Boulevard.
Troopers say Morgan failed a series of field sobriety tests and was jailed. He submitted to a blood-alcohol analysis and allegedly registered a .218, more than twice the legal limit to drive.
Morgan, who is free on $1,150 bond, pleaded not guilty in September to charges of first-offense DWI and having no driver's license. First-offense DWIs can carry up to six months in jail and a maximum fine of $1,000.
Heading into his fourth year as a pro football player, Morgan will be the first to admit he's had plenty of time to focus on his personal growth since his arrest. He tore his ACL during a preseason scrimmage in August and was placed on year-ending injured reserve.
It was the second time since 2011 he was forced to miss a year's worth of action because of a preseason knee injury. Not required to travel to games or attend daily practices with the Saints, Morgan has said he participated in the NFL's substance-abuse program and made that one of his top focuses outside of healing his knee.
"It made me realize, 'Be better, be positive, they put us especially as football players to these high standards, to be huge role models,'" Morgan has remarked about his time off. "It ... really ... helped me mature."
In 2012, the year Morgan did play, he caught 10 passes for 379 yards and three touchdowns. His mind-boggling 37.9 yards per catch would've easily been the most in the NFL if he would have had enough grabs to qualify to be ranked in the category.
"I was ready to play (last) year, I was ready to do so many things, and for it all to be taken away in training camp ... it's hard," Morgan has said.
Nonetheless, aside from rehabbing his knee and working through the league substance-abuse program, Morgan has said he got the invaluable opportunity to spend more time with his daughter, Justice. Justice is about the same age Morgan was (4) when his father was fatally shot in his hometown of Canton, Ohio.
The elder Morgan was 25 when he died in 1992.
Morgan started the 2014 offseason as a restricted free agent. But the Saints didn't tender him, so he became an unrestricted free agent on March 11.
Morgan re-signed with the Saints on a one-year deal later Tuesday, the team announced.
It would've been difficult for Morgan to successfully complete the diversion program for which he had signed up if he left the New Orleans area, Foret had said prior to the team's announcement.
Before joining the Saints as an undrafted free agent, Morgan played collegiately at both Illinois and Walsh, an NAIA school in Canton.

The Canadiens, coming off a 4-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes Monday night at the Bell Centre, were given a day away from the rink Tuesday as they travelled to Philadelphia to face the Flyers on Wednesday night (7:30 p.m., TSN, RDS, TSN Radio 690). The game in Philly will be the first of three in four nights for the Habs, who play host to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday before the Boston Bruins visit the Bell Centre on Saturday.
The Bruins will have Jaromir Jagr in their lineup when they come to Montreal after acquiring the veteran forward from the Dallas Stars on Tuesday in exchange for a conditional second-round draft pick and two prospects – Lane MacDermid and Cody Payne. The conditional second-round pick this year will become a first-round pick if Boston advances to the Eastern Conference final.
In 34 games with the Stars this season, the 41-year-old Jagr posted 14-12-26 totals and was minus-5 while averaging 18:17 of ice time.
The Canadiens, with a 23-7-5 record, have 51 points through 35 games. The last time they had that many points through 35 games was 1978-79, when they had 54 points after 35 games and went on to win their fourth straight Stanley Cup.
Monday's game marked the Canadiens' first Autism Awareness Night at the Bell Centre. Lending support to the event was Canadiens goaltending coach Pierre Groulx and Scott Mellanby, the team's player personnel director, who both have autistic children.
On the eve of Tuesday's World Autism Awareness Day, Canadiens management and coaches wore blue puzzle-piece-shaped Autism Speaks lapel pins during the game with Hurricanes head coach Kirk Muller and his staff also wearing pins in support.
The Habs launched a number of initiatives, running well beyond the night itself, to promote the cause.

"Dad had Jeans that could stand up and deliver the State of the Union," Reagan joked.
I heard it all in my own head when I looked in the mirror—especially the day I bought my first pair of size 12 Jeans.
In America, Gisele has advertised everything from Jeans to Apple computers.
Whenever you buy a haircut or a pair of Jeans or a flat-screen television, you're paying for the welfare state.

His Jeans were torn and his cotton shirt was in rags, but his grit was unsifted.
The chauffeur struggled into his Jeans and adjusted them before replying.
But she was hardly prepared for Jeans solution of the problem with which she had seen fit to burden her youthful shoulders.
He was a heavy-set, slouchy man in Jeans, broad-shouldered and bowlegged.

'"It's great," Larry Quinn, managing partner and minority owner of the Sabres, told ESPN.com on Monday. "A 94 percent renewal in the second week in May is as good as we've ever seen here, even in the times when we were going to the conference finals. It shows the strong support for the team, and I think the season-ticket holders really believe they have a good deal. It's great for us."'
No playoff run, sure, but some good news out of Sabres Land

The Speaker-test program at alsa-project.org/\~james is deprecicated and is now included in alsa-utils. To test your ALSA setup...
First you need to get a list of all your sound cards (if you have multiple ones) and on each card you may have multiple devices ( for example a set of output for analog and one digital output and one HDMI)
Type : ( L should be upper case )
./aplay -L
you will get the list of the devices and sub devices configured on your system. You will have lines similar to :
SBLive! Value [CT4670], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback
5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
that is one way of output to that specific card and device.
now in order to test the specific card and device type commands like:
speaker-test -Dsurround51:Live -c6 -twav
or you can use something like this
mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=Live.0 /1.mp3 -af channels=6:2:0:1:0:2
this means:
mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw="Audio Card"."Audio Device" "Filename to play" -af channels=6:"Number of routings":"Routing1":"Routing2"...
and Routing1 can be: "Channel 0 of original" to "Channel 1 of output" and Routing1 can be: "Channel 0 of original" to "Channel 2 of output" (Same output on both channels ( mono ) ) (and the outputs are on two different physical plugs on the sound card)
-c6 tell speaker test to product 6 channel audio.
I test this output:
7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speaker
with this code:
speaker-test -surround71:HDMI -c8 -twav
./speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2
./speaker-test -Dplug:surround40 -c4
./speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6
./speaker-test -Dsurround40 -c6 -twav
./speaker-test -Dplug:spdif -c2

Tomorrow, 1/24/14…the Daily Business Review will be holding a "View from the Bench" in Palm Beach County. It will be the first one that they are holding in Palm Beach. Originally, I was invited to be the moderator of one of the panels. Tom Ice, another foreclosure defense attorney, was the sponsor of that event.
As reported by the Palm Beach Post, I will not be the moderator and the Ice Firm has for good reason withdrawn its sponsorship.
What happened is an unfortunate footnote to the nature of foreclosure jurisprudence in the State of Florida and probably the nation. As a backdrop, last fall, our firm was the exclusive sponsor of a Daily Business Review sold-out event at the Performing Arts Center in Broward County addressing foreclosures. I gave the keynote address and also served as one of the panelists. Amanda Lundergan was the moderator. After the conclusion of the event, the Review representatives told me that the event was one of their best events and in fact they wanted to put another one on for the end of the year.

I agree the comparation of the eco enviroment and the microenviroment and macoenviroment between trees and cancer cells.
Yes, it seems there are no relationship between them at all; But deep down it is not that much in difference between the western medicine and the practice of the Chinese herbal medicine. ( using organ systems approach to treat single disease first then specialists are used for each additional problem ; as compare to treat the body as a whole first then each problem at the same time.)
New effort in research by the big Pharma and NIH have been toward the immunology (IE: develop anti-PL1 antibodies to unlock the vase amount of immune T cells in our bodies hold up by the PL-1 ligands on the surface of the cancer; by treating cancer in this way, it is natural since the T cells are part of our own cells ,with help of the anti-PL1 imunotherapy, it may come close to treating the cancer with the approach of using the concept of the eco enviroment applying to trees and the Chinese concept of treating the body as a whole for disease without the major side effects and better treatment results. Let see whether this development will be the cure we all are looking for.
God bless,

WATCH: Lady Gaga defends Miley Cyrus & One Direction on 'WWHL'
Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
Lady Gaga is joining Team Miley. The Mother Monster defended the young star against critics when she dropped by Wednesday's "Watch What Happens Live."
Gaga said that "everybody needs to lighten up and leave her alone" and that Miley is "entitled to her own artistic expression." She added that she doesn't understand why people go "on and on about hating things" because they can just "change the channel" if they don't like it.
Gaga also spoke up in defense of One Direction, the British boyband that was boo-ed while accepting an award at last month's Video Music Awards. She said that she was "completely embarrassed for MTV and for America" after the incident, because U.K. audiences never would have been "so impolite" to her.
The pop star showed up at the Bravo show, decked out in what's becoming her new signature look - a clam-shell bra and mermaid wig. She revealed her reason behind not wanting to release the duet she recorded with Cher, saying that she didn't feel the song was worthy of someone she has "so much respect for."
When a fan called in to ask about another collaboration with Beyonce, Gaga said they had no plans, but did hint at a sequel to their hit "Telephone." She also answered Andy's questions about her sexuality and the time she spent as a burlesque dancer before becoming famous.

Teen sentenced for murder
(Cleveland) – A 16-year-old Cleveland teen will be 46 when he's eligible for parole.
Anthony Ruiz was sentenced Thursday for the February murder of 16-year-old Jennifer Zacarias. Ruiz got life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years.
Ruiz pleaded guilty to aggravated murder, assault, robbery and tampering with evidence in connection with the case.
Zacarias was shot several times in the backyard of her home on West 102nd Street on February 8. Ruiz was arrested that same day.
Police had said Zacarias and the suspect knew each other. She had been a junior at John Marshall High School.

H2 db unit testing tip
I've found that occasionally the unit tests for the vle fail with database errors. Really odd once such as "Table XYZ not found". This generally prompts for checking the test schema.
The table is being created. So why does the test fail?
It would appear the h2 is possibly a little more advanced than HSQL by default. The reason I can't see the table is that I haven't committed it.
By adding 'commit;' as the last statement to the db schema file the errors will be corrected and the tests should pass (assuming that was the only problem).
The reason for this:
In some places (especially when testing repositories or if junit runs tests in parallel) you might end up with several connections to the in memory database. This could happen when you as a repository for something and it fires a second query while retrieving data from a previous one.
The result is that the first connection where I created the tables can see them because they are a part of its working data. The second connection can't as they haven't been committed back to the proper database for everyone else yet.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
was very clean and confortable but very poor design and decoration no shops inside just one bar and one restaurant
everything.excellent no
i like very much the room it was excellent!!!! i think in every room the must have fresh water and fruits i most confortable!!
very comfortaple room the noisy corridors
It was a very spacious apartment. We had 3 children with us and we had no problems at all. The kitchen was fully equipped. The apartment floor was not very clean.
The suites were very comfortable. The pools both indoor and outdoor were big. The pool bar played excellent music! The breakfast was poor. There was no room service.
Very clean and comfortable rooms, a family friendly environment
Very big, comfortable rooms, nice view. No russian speaker personal. no fresh juice on breakfast. poor beach
The room was clean and nice decorated. Staff in the pool was helpful and nice The bar in the pool was very small and hot. no fans. Not enough place to have your lunch.
Location was good to get to Paphos and Coral Bay. Location on the sea front was good, parking was generally plentiful. Staff rude. The exception being the lady in the kiosk, who was delighful. Not allowed to sit outside at breakfast - because they did not want to clear up an additional area-this is very irritating whan you come on holiday to enjoy sitting outside. No room service. Called in advance to check there was Enlish TV - when we arrive there were 2 chanels only- reception told me it was not their problem, someone later phoned and said they would do something, but never heard another word. Very, Very, Very noisy. No carpets in the hotel mean the noise travels throughout the hotel. Our room 320 was right next to the lift, so constantly had the noise of the lift motor and then the bell sounding on each floor.
the location and facilities not too friendly
It was overlooking the beach, it had direct access to a beatiful pedestrian and the breakfast was good. The overall experience was unsatisfactory. The staff are undertrained and somewhat rude. The receptionists were not helpful, couldn't respond to problems that came up, staff at the hotel would take our orders wrong or give us misleading information. The wifi was never working in our room and the excuses we received time and time again were never satisfactory. Overall this was definitely not a 5-star experience even though it was a 5-star price, i wouldnt suggest it to anyone.
Very responsive and good staff. More or less good pool and pool services. not much crowded, good quality of food Low quality of rooms assuming that the hotel value itself as 5 star, far from sea and no good access to beach, dirty beach (not at the hotel territory), very short menu - after 3-4 days there was nothing new to order, no animation and poor kid's facilities
not even a 3 star hotel the whole hotel
the Lobby the breakfast is poor comparing to other 5* hotels or resorts.
Very nice room The staff in breakfast and at the night bar it poor as number no good service old hotel no a five star hotel more as three star hotel
The view was amazing, the pool and gardens were exceptional, but no attention to the finer details. The limited staff at the hotel tried their best and were as friendly as possible. No attention to the finer details which is a must in any 5star hotel. Due to the fall in business you sensed the cuts in staffing and facilities. And the use of energy saving lightbulbs everywhere is great for environment but lack in ambience
We ordered a cyprus coffee with which they generally offer a small cyprus sweet (loukoumi). I have asked for a second sweet and the waiter said " No, only one comes with the coffee." In addition, we had to wait 1 hour at the pool bar for 1 portion of pasta.
friendly staff and good service dirty carpets in the corridors+poor breakfast
All the staff were friendly and went out of their way to be pleasant and helpful. The hotel is in a mature setting with established trees and gardens, yet the hotel facilities look new. No
The pool area, the room and the gardens. The breakfast was not up to the 5-star standard. All the services(massage, hair dressing etc) were too expensive. The adjacent beach was not nice.
The pool was nice, they organised a lot of games daily, the room was comfortable and the food was good
It was my wifes birthday when we stayed at this hotel, and with no prompt from me, they placed a very nice Birthday cake in our room. She was very touched. The staff were all extremely pleasant and very helpful.
Friendly staff, quiet and relaxed atmoshere Poor entertainment(during the evening) pool towels need to be changed urgently!!!! More attention when cleaning the rooms
Easy self drive location 20 mins from airport.Helpful friendly staff.Very good range of breakfast/evening meal buffets.Pleasant outside pool area with garden ( though this pool is un heated) and flat access to beach and boardwalk path.Tennis courts good.Walk into harbour area with castle in easy 25mins.Lots of eating places next to harbour wall.Would agree with others that the tend to be mainly age 65+ but that did not worry us at all. Has a reasonable pool and jacuzzi but could do with being refurbished soon.Same could be said of the small gym room facilities,there is no rower or running treadmill.Beds could have quilts rather than blankets,very 1970s.Solid old style keys not cards,so multiple guest access an issue.As it was winter there was no AC on but we being from UK found it hot in the room at night,had to leave the window open all night with a small amount of noise.Pool and games room/squash/tennis finish at 1900 which is a bit early.
every thing was excellent
seaview room, food and entertainment nothing
Great hospitality No
Location - Very nice view of the sea. Fair food menu. The furniture is very old. Everything in it shows you that it saw tens of years passing by. The hotel is like Brigitte Bardot. She was superb 30-40 years ago but now is just an old lady. Not a 4 star hotel.
The room was a good size and in the summer the balcony would have been nice to sit on.The dining area was quite spacious and the food was varied and plentiful.The female staff were very pleasant and helpful.The location is excellent and the pool looked clean and inviting. There was not much choice for vegetarians even if you ate fish and the orange juice was not freshly squeezed as you would expect in a country that grows oranges.To get anything but Nescafe for breakfast you have to use a machine which is slow although the coffee when you get it is good. We never found an alternative to the lift to the top two floors apart from an emergency staircase where the rubber covering on the treads was very worn and quite dangerous.It is not the place to go if you like a quiet drink as the music in the bar in the evening is loud and permeates everywhere. If you only bring carry on luggage, with limited liquids allowed, it is annoying to find no toiletries provided apart from a dispenser.

Each heart contains a balanced blend of Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D for superior Calcium absorption. Magnesium and Calcium work together to assist in promoting sound skeletal and cardiovascular systems. CalciumCalcium is the most abundant, essential mineral in the human body. Of the two to three pounds of calcium contained in the average body, 99% is located in the bones and teeth. Calcium is needed to form bones and teeth and is also required for blood clotting, transmission of signals in nerve cells, and muscle contraction. The importance of calcium for preventing osteoporosis is probably its most well-known role. Where is it found?Most dietary calcium comes from dairy products.

LONG BEACH — Two men have been arrested in connection with a hit-and-run incident downtown that killed a 24-year-old mother last week, police said Wednesday.
Long Beach detectives arrested 26-year-old Compton resident Froylan Velazquez, who was charged by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office with vehicular manslaughter and felony hit and run Tuesday, and 26-year-old Bellflower resident Edward Martinez, who was booked for being an accessory and is awaiting arraignment.
At 1:45 a.m. on Feb. 13, officers were called to Third Street and Pine Avenue for a "vehicle versus passenger" incident that resulted in the death of Long Beach resident Serena Medina, who family members said had a 4-year-old daughter.
Police said witnesses observed a group involved in an altercation, which family and friends of the victim said began at Taco Beach restaurant and bar at 211 Pine Ave. and later spilled out onto the street.
Miguel Peralta, Medina's father, said police told him that two men got into a car and reversed the vehicle, hitting Medina and one other person and fleeing by the time police arrived.
Both victims were taken to a local hospital, where Medina died, police said.
Homicide and Accident Investigation Detail detectives came to a similar conclusion.
"As the investigation progressed, it became clear to investigators that this was not a typical traffic accident and possibly was an intentional act," police said in a statement.
Detectives went on a search for the suspects' vehicle and found it in Compton.
"My daughter is going to finally get justice," Peralta said Wednesday after he learned of the arrests.
Meanwhile, friends and family members gathered for a vigil Wednesday night at Third Street and Pine Avenue to celebrate Medina's life.
Medina, who was unemployed and unmarried, had many friends and wasn't the type of person to get involved in a fight, Peralta said. He said she hadn't been directly involved in last week's altercation and that he had heard that she was trying to calm the situation before she was hit.
"Everybody loved her," said her friend Cassandra Medina, who isn't related to her. "She always had a smile on her face and she was very sweet and loving.
"It's so sad that this happened to her."
Serena Medina loved to sing and made her daughter, Leah, a priority, her friend said.
Peralta said he has been overwhelmed by the response of the community, who donated money and time at car washes last weekend and at other activities to help raise money for his daughter's funeral.
"It seems like the whole community got together," he said.
Medina's funeral is scheduled for 9 a.m. Thursday at All Souls Cemetery, 4400 Cherry Ave., in Long Beach.
Anyone with information may contact Long Beach Police Homicide Detectives Hugo Cortes or Peter Lackovic at 562-570-7244. Those who want to remain anonymous may call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or text TIPLA plus your tip to 274637 (CRIMES), or visit www.LACrimeStoppers.org.

ROCK HILL, S.C.- Brevard College sophomore Katie Williams has been voted South Atlantic Conference women's basketball Player of the Week after helping BC to wins over Mars Hill and Queens last week, the league office announced Monday.
"We're playing good basketball right now, and Katie has been a huge part of that," said head coach Shannon Reid. "She's Brevard's first ever SAC Player of the Week, and she is more than deserving of this recognition."
Williams poured in 28 points on Wednesday in an 86-74 win at Mars Hill, including a 21-of-22 performance from the free-throw line. Williams' 21 made free throws set a Brevard record and tied for the third-most in SAC history. She also set career highs in the contest with nine rebounds and five assists.
The Robbinsville, N.C. native then went for 14 points, eight boards and three assists on Saturday in a 61-39 victory at Queens. She leads the SAC in free-throw shooting at 88.2-percent.
"She's beginning to capitalize on the heights of her potential as a basketball player, and it's really exciting," added Reid.
Brevard begins a two-game home stand this week as they welcome Carson-Newman and Coker to Boshamer Gymnasium.

Winklevoss Twins' Fund Leads $1M Round For Hukkster's Online Deal Tracker
A fund started by the Winklevoss brothers, Tyler and Cameron–who are best known for their legal clash and settlement with Facebook, and their rowing careers–led a $1 million financing for Hukkster, a New York e-commerce start-up. The seed round marks the second investment for Winklevoss Capital Fund, a family fund without outside investors.
As The Wall Street Journal previously reported, earlier they backed SumZero, a site that brings investors together to share trading ideas and research. Hukkster is their first investment in a consumer application.
The Hukkster website and service lets online shoppers "hukk" or mark items that they covet, from stores across the Internet, and receive alerts by email or text message when the prices on those items drop to a level they can afford, or feel is fair.
As VentureWire previously reported, Hukkster co-founders Erica Bell and Katie Finnegan worked in fashion and retail companies, including together at J. Crew Group, and later in the retail consulting practice of A.T. Kearney. Their earlier backers in the seed round, which reached $1 million, hailed from retailers TUMI Holdings and Henri Bendel.
With the new seed money from Winklevoss Capital Fund, the Hukkster team will complete the development of their mobile app, continue marketing and developing relationships with online retailers, according to the co-founders.
"This gives us the power to make the splash we were hoping to make, while we cover all our engineering and other costs," Finnegan said.
Currently, the Hukkster app works with major fashion brands and stores online from Asos.com to Nordstrom.com, but has not yet integrated with Amazon.com or other e-commerce juggernauts. It has 10,000 monthly active users.
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss said their fund remains a family fund, without capital from outside investors.
"When you're investing your own money, there's something fun about it. We have the flexibility to jump verticals, and invest patiently in entrepreneurs and businesses that we can help push into the mainstream," said Cameron Winklevoss.
Beyond this deal, the Winklevoss twins have plans to open a brick-and-mortar office in New York's Flatiron neighborhood this season. The impact of Hurricane Sandy prevented them from being open sooner, they said.
"We took out over 5,000 square feet, and that means if you're an entrepreneur we want to get to know, we can help you. You can desk with us," Tyler Winklevoss noted. "And of course, we think we have a lot to offer start-ups because of our Facebook experience in terms of marketing, publicity, legal and company formation."
The Winklevoss twins are, currently, the only two managers of the fund. They will be building up support staff, they said, after the doors open in Flatiron.

(Correction: The Winklevoss brothers' fund led the $1 million total seed round for Hukkster, which was recently extended from $250,000. A previous version of this post said the fund provided $750,000.)

Pediatric Cancers in the New Millennium: Dramatic Progress, New Challenges
Pediatric Cancers in the New Millennium: Dramatic Progress, New Challenges
Over the past 50 years, great strides have been made in diagnosis, treatment, and survival of childhood cancer. In the 1960s the probability of survival for a child with cancer was less than 25%, whereas today it may exceed 80%. This dramatic change has occurred through significant and steady progress in our understanding of tumor biology, creation of specialized multidisciplinary care teams, incremental improvements in therapy, establishment of specialized centers with research infrastructure to conduct pivotal clinical studies, and the evolution of a cooperative group mechanism for clinical research. Most children with cancer in the United States, Europe, and Japan receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment, although access is limited in developing countries. The price of success, however, is the growing population of survivors who require medical and psychosocial follow-up and treatment for the late effects of therapy. Here we review the progress made in pediatric oncology over the past 3 decades and consider the new challenges that face us today.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death (after accidents) in children and adolescents in the United States despite significant progress in diagnosis, treatment, and survival.[1] Mortality rates have declined approximately 2% per year over the past 3 decades, and survival rates for many childhood cancers have greatly improved (Figure 1). The overall 5-year survival rate for childhood cancer now exceeds 79%.[2] Most notable is the progress in treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which represents about a third of all cases of pediatric cancer (Figure 2). Improved critical care, infectious disease management, and nutritional support and the widespread use of central venous catheters have increased survival overall for children with malignancies. Approximately 1 in every 250 adults is expected to be a childhood cancer survivor by 2010. The potential social, economic, and medical impact of this advance is second only to that of the treatment of adult breast cancer.[3]
Overview of Childhood Cancers
Childhood cancers comprise a spectrum of malignancies that differ in histologic type, site of origin, and incidence across age groups. Importantly, they also differ from adult cancers in significant ways. Whereas most adult cancers are epithelial and may be influenced by environmental factors (eg, smoking and diet), most pediatric cancers are dysontogenic in nature. Therefore, screening or prevention programs are less likely to be effective. Further, tolerance of therapy is quantitatively and qualitatively different in children and adults because of dissimilar host characteristics, such as physiology and organ maturation.
Because childhood cancer is rare, successful therapy depends on focused, collaborative clinical research supported by governmental agencies and public philanthropy.[4] This model is anchored in a strong clinical research infrastructure and the effective collaboration of a multidisciplinary team composed of pediatric oncologists, surgeons, radiation therapists, and other professionals. Paramount to these efforts is the contribution of basic and translational scientists who define important biologic and genetic components of childhood cancer that can guide risk-based therapy.
The international community has made significant contributions to this success. Collaborative pediatric oncology research models have also laid the foundation for research alliances for the treatment of asthma, cystic fibrosis, AIDS, and other chronic childhood diseases. Further, fundamental principles gained through protocol-based treatment of pediatric cancer have translated to improved management of adult cancers. These key principles are summarized in Table 1 and further elaborated below.
Many challenges remain. Survival remains poor for children with tumors such as disseminated neuroblastoma or diffuse pontine glioma, and for others we have reached a survival plateau. There is poor understanding of the biology of some tumor subtypes. The physical, psychosocial, and financial consequences of effective therapy have created a need for specialized care for survivors and new venues for research. There is room for improvement in the collection of late effects and outcome data. There is little financial incentive or support for the development of new drugs and biologic therapies. There are disparities in outcomes in adolescents and young adults, and many children worldwide lack access to effective therapy. This article will review specific examples of progress, the challenges that remain across the spectrum of childhood cancer, and future areas of work.

One Direction fans support Louis Tomlinson's soccer debut
Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
One Direction's Louis Tomlinson is getting support from his fans as he takes up the side project of professional soccer.
The singer made his official debut as a guest player on his local soccer team the Doncaster Rovers on Wednesday. He started with the team last year, but didn't make it very far through a game before getting injured.
BBC News says a reserve game for the Rovers usually brings in a crowd of about 100 -- but over 4,000 tickets were sold for Wednesday's game.
Young girls were photographed lined up outside the stadium waiting for the One Direction member, who was welcomed to the team as a part of charity partnership with a local children's hospice.
Louis made it onto the field about an hour into the game, and made a few passes for the team.
