Part of the 'Arrière Pays', Tourrettes sur Loup offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the Mediterranean coast. Located 10 minutes' drive from its more famous neighbour St Paul de Vence, 20 minutes from the coast and 30 minutes from Nice & Nice airport, Tourrettes has something for everyone, from keen walkers to culture vultures and foodies. The sweeping views over the mountains and down to the sea are intoxicating and seem to go on forever – this is a part of southern France that is for those 'in the know' looking for a more relaxed pace of life.
Perched on a rocky outcrop, Tourrettes sur Loup is straight out of a fairy tale: fortified walls, windy cobbled streets, arched medieval passageways, and a little stream that greets you as you stroll in past the old mill. But this tiny Provençal village is far from sleepy, boasting wine bars, excellent restaurants (including one awarded a Michelin star) artisan bakeries, grocery shops, butchers, art galleries & jewellery shops, and a market on Wednesday mornings.
The village has become a centre of art and there are many galleries to linger in and workshops to explore. Also known as the 'Cite des Violettes' due to its historical association with the nearby perfume industry in Grasse, you can still visit violet fields and buy produce in the village made with locally grown flowers.
There is always a good time to visit Tourrettes.
During the peak summer season the weather hots up, but being elevated from the coast means that it's easier to escape the intensity of summer heat. There is a plethora of events, ranging from world-famous jazz concerts (Juan Les Pins, Nice, Antibes), International firework competitions (Cannes and along the coast), and of course locally the Fete de la Musique (June 21st) when the whole village comes to life with concerts and al fresco dining.
In winter, the weather can still be very mild. The local ski resort of Geôlières is a 45 minute drive and offers family skiing with spectacular views and mountain scenery. For a bigger ski domain, Valberg, Isola 200 and Auron are great for day trips. Other events not to be missed are the world-famous Nice carnival (February), Menton Lemon Festival (February) and Tourrettes' very own Fete des Violettes (February): a unique event with music, locally decorated floats parading through the village and the infamous 'bataille des fleurs'.
Spring & Autumn offer temperate, pleasant weather and a welcome escape from the grey skies of Northern Europe and cooler climes. And of course being out of season, there are fewer people and air fares can be cheaper.
The surrounding area offers much to explore. 45 minutes' drive will take you to Cannes, Antibes, Nice or Juan les Pins. A little further along the coast is Monaco, Monte Carlo and the Italian border or head west and enjoy a day out in St. Tropez. There are five golf courses within a 30 minute drive. Active outdoor pursuits nearby in the Gorge du Loup and surrounding mountains include parascending, hang gliding, canyoning and horse riding. There are some excellent and varied walks nearby for all levels of walkers or hikers, many in mountainous terrain with breath-taking views.

Movie music began way back in the era of kinetoscopes and nickelodeons, with a man tickling the ivories in a dusty corner of a theatre. Over the next century or so, it evolved, swelled and cranked up into the kind of Han Zimmer fanfares and Howard Shore symphonies that would probably blow that poor pianist clean off his stool. The road from Dmitri Shostakovich to Danny Elfman has been a long one, so to kick off Empire's giant soundtrack celebration, we've assembled a handy guide to the medium's first 60 years.
A is for Alfred Newman
Dad of American Beauty and Skyfall scorer Thomas and uncle to Randy 'You've Got A Friend In Me' Newman, Alfred Newman's DNA was probably made of crochets and quavers. Along with Max Steiner and Dimitri Tiomkin, he was one of the "three godfathers" of movie music who dragged the movie score kicking and screaming towards its current, narrative-driven form. Moguls like Sam Goldwyn and Darryl Zanuck regularly hired him, he prepped Rodgers and Hammerstein's stage musicals for the big screen and won nine – NINE – Oscars during his 40-year, 200-film career. He also wrote this and we love him for that, too.
B is for Battleship Potemkin
Subsequently reworked by those Soviet-loving popsters the Pet Shop Boys, the original score for Sergei Eisenstein's great bolshe-flick was something entirely new at the time. Edmund Meisel, an Austrian composer, was given only 12 days to create a score for the film. Not only did he manage it, he also came up with an entirely new approach to film music, eschewing thumpingly overscored music in favour of cues that tied in closely to the action on screen. The result was enduring and, like the film, hugely influential. That said, it's been a while since 'The Men And The Maggots' got played at a wedding.
C is for Camille Saint-Saëns
The French classical composer is attributed with the first ever movie score. 1908 silent The Assassination Of The Duc Of Guise – basically The Day Of The Jackal in tights – is only 15 minutes long but remains more than a capersome curio thanks to a specially written score by the 73 year-old pianist. Early silents were often accompanied by glorious but (in the context) tub-thumping classical pieces like Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony or Rossini's William Tell Overture (see: 'W'). Here was a very early stab at meshing music and narrative in a more coherently filmy way. And, yes, the Duc does die at the end. SPOILER!
D is for Disney
When Victor Records released an LP full of the chirpy, heigh-ho'ing ditties of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs in January 1938, Hollywood had its first commercially distributed soundtrack. Judging by the exhaustive title of the record – Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs (With The Same Characters And Sound Effects As In The Film Of That Title) – Disney felt there was quite a lot of explaining to be done. There might have been one or two teething problems with the marketing, too, judging by the entirely Snow White-free album sleeve.
E is for Expressionism
Not just there for the jaggedly out-of-kilter, shadowy, long-fingered things in life, German expressionist filmmakers like Fritz Lang and F. W. Murnau were also trailblazers in the art of marrying original music with their scary visions of disrupted societies. Lang had Gottfried Huppertz score Metropolis and Die Nibelungen, while Hans Erdmann penned a new score for Murnau's Nosferatu; both offering orchestral pieces and leitmotifs. In Erdman's case, these were so full of dissonance and edginess, it's like Count Orlok himself had taken up residence in your earlobes.
F is for 42nd Street
Aged five, a time in life when Empire was still learning that cat litter isn't a snack, old Busby 'Buzz' Berkeley was already on stage and sowing the seeds for a stellar career on Broadway and Hollywood. A director, choreographer and flamboyant figure, whose grand vision for 42nd Street established him in Tinseltown, Berkeley was the Baz Luhrmann of his day. Expect to feel Berkeley's influence all over The Great Gatsby.
G is for Georges Méliès
Pioneering filmmaker and star of Hugo, Georges Méliès went one step further than most silent-era directors and played the piano himself at the premiere of his sci-fi flick Trip To The Moon. Which makes him James Cameron and Howard Shore all under one top hat.
H is for Hitchcock
The Master could pick a composer – in fact, he picked a fair few. Bernard Herrmann was the most regular collaborator (more on him later), but German émigré Franz Waxman had some stellar highlights working with Hitch, too. "A soundboard for the subconscious" is how Hitchcock soundtrack aficionado Jack Sullivan describes his work on Rebecca (1940), while Waxman's cues lent Rear Window (1954) both swooning romance and pot-boiling menace. By the latter, he was an Academy Award winner twice, thanks to his work on Sunset Boulevard and A Place In The Sun. Not too shabby for a kid earmarked for a career as a bank clerk.
I is for Intertitles
This was the bit of silent films that, in Murnau, Chaplin or Wiene's films, made audiences privy to an important snippet of dialogue. In less skilled hands, they explained what in the name of Jehoshaphat's auntie was actually happening on screen. Either way, they needed musical accompaniment. After all, if people wanted to sit and read in silence they'd probably have gone to the library. Friedrich Murnau's Sunrise has some of the most memorable intertitles – check out the 0:24 mark here – but the work of the director and his composer, Hugo Riesenfeld, was substantially assisted by new sound-on-film technology of Fox's Movietone system. This was the first film to utilise a new technology that would make matching music and image a cinch.
J is for Juilliard and Bernard Herrmann
The musical schooling of Bernard Herrmann, like that of his fellow movie composer Alex North, took place at New York's arty hothouse. It was a springboard for work with Orson Welles (there was an Oscar-winning debut gig on Citizen Kane) and an acrimonious battle with RKO over its hatchet job on The Magnificent Ambersons. But it's his partnership with Alfred Hitchcock, beginning with The Trouble With Harry in 1955, for which he's most famous. Their relationship, sometimes testy, was definitive (there's even been a play written about it), with B-Hermz's mastery of tone, mood and musical texture contributing hugely to classics like Vertigo and North By Northwest. Just watch his rollicking, baroque-influenced opening track on the latter and you know what's in store: thrills, spills, and, who knows, maybe even a bit with a cropduster, a bus and a suave dude in a suit.
K is for Korngold
Not just the coolest name in soundtracks, Erich Wolfgang Korngold was one of the founding fathers of movie music. Like his peer Max Steiner (see: 'S'), he hailed from Vienna and was a musical protégé who caught the eye of the great Gustav Mahler. Anchluss and Hitler's Jewish pogroms drove him west to Hollywood where Warner Bros. put him to work filling their films with his distinct character leitmotifs. His great work on The Adventures Of Robin Hood has endured with the film, but The Private Lives Of Elizabeth And Essex and The Sea Hawk were classics of their kind too. As Korngold expert Brendan G. Carroll points out, "His style has exerted a profound influence on modern film music". In your face, Adolf.
L is for Lift To The Scaffold
Miles Davis' moody score for Louis Malle's sparse 1958 thriller was cinema's birth of the cool: a crossing of the two hip streams, the French New Wave and American bebop, into something so new and edgy, you couldn't even listen to it without sunglasses on.
M is for Modern Times
"The three giants of 20th century art are, for me, Picasso, Stravinsky and Chaplin," the great conductor Carl Davis told The Guardian. The tribute to Charlie Chaplin's was testament to his amazing self-taught musical skills as much as his filmmaking and physical comedy. He picked up a myriad of influences in his music hall days and used them to score his films with music that was much more nuanced than the improvised pianos and classic pieces prevalent in the silent era. There was a big place for classical music in his film too, like Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight Of The Bumble Bee (The Gold Rush) and the Hungarian Dance by Johannes Brahms (The Great Dictator), and the ballet of Modern Times. Something for everyone in other words, even those fluent in gobbledygook.
N is for North
Proof that you didn't have to be from Vienna to be a movie music great in the early 20th century (although it helped). Alex North was Juilliard educated, studied modern composer Aaron Copland and called on jazzier influences than his European brethren like the classically-informed Korngold and Steiner. Essentially the coolest cat in '50s movie music, he cut his teeth working with jazz band leader Benny Goodman and penned theatrical music for Elia Kazan's Death Of A Salesman, before following Kazan to LA for A Streetcar Named Desire. The first jazz soundtrack, Streetcar was followed by an edgy, modernist piece (Viva Zapata!) and a score that saw Ancient Rome get its groove on to the super-funky ondioline (Spartacus) – a true pioneer, in other words. That said, he also wrote Unchained Melody, so you can blame him for Robson & Jerome.
O is for Oklahoma!
If they'd written a musical called 'Kerrr-ching!", Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein's impact on the coffers of '50s Hollywood could not have been much clearer. The pair were golden boys whose Broadway musicals were transformed, one after another, into big-screen hits with the inevitability of a Michael Bay blockbuster, albeit with fewer bum shots. Show Boat, The King & I, South Pacific, Carmen Jones, Carousel, State Fair, The Sound Of Music… their work crossed the Broadway-to-Tinseltown divide with freakish regularity and success, with a little help from Alfred Newman and others. Ghoulishly, the pair sit still second on Forbes' list of highest-earning dead celebs.
P is for Piano
Back in cinema's earliest days, musical accompaniment was provided exclusively by a man (or woman) tinkling the ivories and often just used to cover up the whirl of the projector. When, in 1896, Auguste and Louis Lumière's train steamed into Ciotat station to a chorus of terrified gasps, the accompaniment was an incongruously jaunty piano melody. In modern-day terms, this is a bit like Chas and Dave playing along to Unstoppable at the IMAX.
Q is for Que Será, Será
Chirpier than a tree full of sparrows, Doris Day's rendition of 'Que Será, Será (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)' in The Man Who Knew Too Much was penned by one of movie music's great double-acts. Composer Jay Livingston and lyricist Ray Evans have been proclaimed "the last great songwriters in Hollywood", and while Hal David and Burt Bacharach and others might argue, three Best Song Oscars take some bettering. Rather than a trillsome piece of cross-promotion, Hitchcock made their song integral to the narrative. Day's character sings it to let her son know that she and hubbie Jimmy Stewart are about to get all Bryan Mills on his kidnappers.
R is for Rainbow, Over The
The movie soundtrack was still in its infancy when Judy Garland's signature song kicked off a burst of Toto serenading in The Wizard Of Oz. It wasn't until 1956, when MGM released the whole album, that the general public could lay their hands on the movie version of the ditty. The AFI's Song of the Century, it joined Bing Crosby's White Christmas in helping boost the morale of the troops in Europe in their fight against the Wicked Führer of the West. Hollywood's most hummable tunes even had the power to help the war effort.
S is for Steiner
Godson of Richard Strauss, Vienna-born Max 'Casablanca' Steiner's incredible range makes him possibly the greatest of all pre-war scorers. He did Broadway, RKO melodramas, silents, Technicolor hits – heck, he would have knocked out an episode of Glee, given the chance. He helped make King Kong great – "a symphony accompanied by a movie" is how a fellow musician put it – and applied his rule that "every character should have a theme" to a series of Warner Bros. hits. Surely his greatest achievement, though, is Gone With The Wind, at least in terms of its scale and producer David Selznick's repeated attempts to kill him with his terrifying deadlines. Twenty hour, Benzedrine-fuelled days were needed to get the three-hour score completed in time.
T is for Tiomkin
High Noon... Duel In The Sun... Red River. Some of America's most distinctive Western vistas came soundtracked by a Russian. Fittingly, Dimitri Tiomkin was, himself, a pioneer. He was a shameless self-promoter with a keen business sense that served him pretty darn well in the trenches of silver screen-era Hollywood where he scored five Capra movies, as well as a fistful of horse operas. His famous High Noon ditty, Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling, was especially groundbreaking in spearhead the movie's promotion. "The picture was released after the record and packed theatres," he remembered. Simpson and Bruckheimer might have learnt a thing or two from that.
U is for Underscoring
Arriving in Hollywood when the silent era was not far in the rear-view mirror, composers like Max Steiner and Erich Korngold had their work cut out persuading movie moguls that a piece of music could be played under dialogue without either, (a) puzzling the audience, or (b) melting the sound editor's brain. Where is the music supposed to be coming from, wondered skeptical suits. Surely viewers would scour the screen for a radio or gramophone producing the sound? In their worst case scenario, they might bellow "WHAT STRANGE MUSICAL DEITY IS PLAYING THIS??" at the proscenium. Gradually, those dogmatic attitudes evolved. "They began to add a little music here and there", recalled Steiner, "designed to support love scenes or silent sequences". Thanks to him and his peers, not to mention key advances in sound and editing, these baby steps slowly freed film scorers to underscore dialogue scenes to their hearts' content.
V is for Vienna
Childhood home of Max Steiner and Erich Korngold, the Austrian capital has a movie music pedigree like no other city. Apart from Los Angeles.
W is for William Tell
Long, long before Han Zimmer's Dark Knight score inspired a generation of musical cues, Gioachino Rossini's William Tell was cinema's go-to music for action sequences. Had a horse-drawn carriage that needed flipping? Rossini was your man. For silent filmmakers, the gallopy-gallopy finale to his opera was like a giant nob marked 'DRAMA' cranked up to 11. Stanley Kubrick used it in a slightly different way in A Clockwork Orange.
X is for Xylophone
Cousin of the marimba.
Y is for Yuletide
At 50m copies shifted since 1942, Bing Crosby's White Christmas, theme to the musical Holiday Inn, remains the biggest selling single ever. Amazingly, Irving Berlin-penned festival fave didn't even spearhead Holiday Inn's musical offerings. 'Be Careful, It's My Heart' initially overshadowed it, but Crosby's charms shone through and helped earn Berlin an Oscar for Best Song. Since then, the chart-topping movie theme has been a key tool in the studio armoury. See also: Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head (Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid), My Heart Will Go On (Titanic) and (Everything I Do) I Do It For You (Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves).
Z is for Zither
There's only one school that will teach you to play the zither, Carol Reed's Noir Academy of Dodgy Criminals and Bombed-out Cityscapes, and to get in you'll need a GSCE in blackmarketeering and a knockoff stash of penicillin. Anton Karas, a gifted musician from childhood, learned to play it under his own steam after finding one in the attic as a boy. Together, he, Reed and that humble zither forged a movie motif that established The Third Man's sense of place and helped elevate it to the status of classic. Oh, and it earned them 12 weeks at the top of the US Billboard chart too.

size of the room. easy to find. toilet not very clean. Some hair out of the shower and next to the wc
Friendly staff, quiet location in the "sleeping" district of the city. Leaking pluming in bathroom and unpleasant smell from ventilation which was connected with restaurant's kitchen few floors above definitely made some trouble.
The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the town center, where the restaurants and a few historic sites are located. The railroad station is a little farther from the hotel. It's a pleasant walk, except in hot weather when you're going to dinner. A taxi downtown costs approximately 8 EU, and there is also a restaurant in the hotel.
The location of the hotel is good and at reasonable distance from imola centre and the autodromo. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. Also the halls equiped with led lights at various angles are different from the usual. The breakfast was ok and the serving personal helpful and friendly The reception personal was cold and direct. The shower cabin looked unprofessional with its sharp edges. The breakfast was ok but nothing too great.
We booked the hotel in order to attend the Imola circuit for the World Superbikes weekend. It was within walking distance and was a good choice in this respect. The breakfast lacked variety for all tastes, although there was nothing wrong with what was available, but a better selection is usually available in 4* hotels.
Very spacious and luxurious, kingsize bed Only paid WiFi internet
Staff,cleaniness and rooms
Good restaurant for the dinner. Free garage parking and internet.
It's clean and quiet to live and the service is good.
Comfortable beds, great big bathroom, cleanliness. The view (of a backyard).
An excellent location in the middle of Lugo town. Well placed for visiting Bologna and Ravenna, but little to offer in Lugo itself. The hotel is good quality and the staff friendly. No hot water in the bathroom on two occasions.
the friendly staff at the receiption, central position of the hotel, quiet there should be at least one german tv channel( they sakid they were rearranging channels at that time), bread at breakfast improveable!
Staff was very helpful. My baggage didn't arrive for 1-1/2 days, and they were very good about calling the airport for me mutiple times, as well as making toiletries available. Cotignola is a small town, and this hotel is the best place to stay - clean, internet access, centrally located, staff speaks english, restaurant is very nice, breakfast included, air conditioned rooms.
I wanted a quit hotel inside a small town, for a one-night break in a drive to my holidaylocation. This hotel has private parking, a nice central location, great hotel for this price.
The little town of Lugo was a really pleasant surprise - wonderful to walk around and the hotel was fantastic. Very welcoming, great service, nice breakfast. Highly recommended.
Breakfast, big room, nice town, good reception service

We were upgraded into a better room at no charge. The bed was very comfortable. The room was recently updated. Excellent value for the money.
Free wifi, confort, nice persons, I really appreciated my stay in this hotel! near of Imola race Nothing, it was great!
Reasonably priced, quiet high standard room with internet connection, helpful reception staff, good breakfast, easy parking, easy to find. Have not seen other customer reviews so cannot comment on their accuracy.
Staff very friendly and helpful, excellent value for money No
The hotel manager Frederico was excellent, we had a few problems not related to the hotel, however, this gentleman sorted everything out with a smile. Thanks again Frederico. We vwe could have stayed longer.
We spent two fantastic nights at this hotel... the bathroom was a real treat... it was a big room with a jacuzzi bath and seperate rain shower. The staff were friendly and helpful as were those in the bar attached. Imola town is a 10-15 minute walk away... no need to drive there as the town is mostly pedestrianised... it is a bustling, beautiful and historic place... we arrived during a music festival and had a great time.
i liked a lot the area and the atmosphere of the hotel.staying in this hotel was very pleasant for me
The overall comfort
Nice Hotel, friendly staff No bar in the evening
Good position in a beautiful building; large room; good breakfast; possibility of parking nearby at no cost (during holidays)
Clean, nice, tastefull interior, staff spoke good english hard bed,
Beautiful 'Old World' feel to the hotel, great place to stay in Faenza
the room 111 no bar
Very central location and friendly staff Decor was a bit dated but everything was spotless and well-maintained.
I cannot say a bad word about the Hotel Vittoria. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the location of the hotel was excellent. Only a short walk to the centre of the town. We had a very pleasant stay.
The ambiance of the hotel.
location, cleanliness and staff current refurbishment, noise was slightly offputting. some seating needs attention or replaced and some choice for english breakfast even if only toast
The beautiful spacious room, and the polite friendly staff. If you like shopping it is the perfect location. would have like access to a hotel bar and to be able to sit and have a beverage before going out to eat etc. f
access to and from the motorway was very good. the bedrooms were well insulated against motorway noise. Hotel surrounds untidy and unwelcoming. Room and corridor decor terribly depressing. No coffee making facilities. Steps up from car park to hotel made moving luggage difficult.Room rate was high compared to other better hotels used during trip.
We found this a lovely hotel for facilities and comfort. It was particularly good value for money. The hotel is great for those arriving by car. For anyone else there is neither public transport nor a safe walk path into Faenza. It is a taxi or a taxi!
The fact that it was near the motorway which was the only reason I booked it having stayed at this hotel before. Also reasonable price Room smelling of smoke and oppressive heating. Having to make breakfast tea with lukewarm water. Small cups needing constant trips to breakfast bar. Fixed overhead shower geared to men. No tea /coffee making facilities in room (which are beginning to appear in Italian hotels).
close to the highway exit. ashtrays and smoking smell in non smoking room and they do not change your room.
friendly staff and helpfull
Friendliness of the staff
The Ammerican receptionist was exceptional her service she provided to us was just outstanding, we loved our stay and the children enjoyed the internet connections is the rooms awesome,
The staff were very polite and cheerful. One thing, the hotel called me a taxi to take me to the airport. The taxi driver drove many kilometers in the wrong direction and it cost me 10 euros more than the trip from the airport.
large room,large bathroom,friendly staff,clean and tidy the breakfast was not up to the standard of the rest of the hotel..bit basic
Very good value for the money (45€/night for a single room), good breakfast, very large rooms!
High quality fittings in room and en suite
Please write at least 15 words it's a nice hotel .sometimes gives you a family feeling!of cource,best of it, the bar!
Placement and privacy, stone finishing and furniture Only shower cabin
The room size, general design,bead comfort,air conditioning system,parking facilities, easy to see it from highway The inadeacuate waste treatment (insufficient separators for diferent kind of residues),Lightting of the room table,publicity front lights
Apart from location, i'd say the lobby was among the best things at the hotel. That says enugh. Most of the staff didnt talk english, so that made it a bit hard for me. The resturant was x5 times more expensive then other resturants nearby.
Four star hotel for reasonable cost Expensive internet connection, slighty showing its age, Good range of breakfast choices one day, very few the next, noisy location in some ways, parking often used by non-hotel guests.
very intresting hotel for one night stay before continuing to final destination....
Inpersonal staff
Both the room and ensuite bathroom were really spacious and very nicely decorated and furnished. The hotel's restaurant, which specialises in seafood was excellent, though a little formal for our taste. Location was good for going to Imola motor racing circuit, and Faenza is a pleasant town. Restaurant was expensive (but very good so probably worth it). It was fuly booked the first night we were there but the reception recommended a restaurant in Faenza and ordered a taxi for us.
Lovely setting & grounds; but above all an exceptionally good restaurant which was a pleasure to eat at The double row of barbed wire around the edge of it; difficult to find
internet access not free
We were only there one night and just visited the town.
This was noz my first time there. What I liked is what you have allready questioned in point 2 no
Free internet in the lounge
Staff very friendly. Very near to Faenza city, but car necessary. The hotel rooms were basic and old. The breakfast is poor: I suggest you to ask directly for capuccino or cofee to the barman. The hotel should be classified as 3*.
Hotel staff were very friendly. English speaking. Very helpful indeed. Rooms were adequate, clean, 'Klima that worked !' Shower was a little on the small side but bathroom itself clean and good size. Towels and laundry seemed new. Good sized Parking area with no problems to access. You would need a car to get into the town itself. 10 mins from the A14. Good selection of food and quality good, although i thought just a little expensive. Some of the area's may'be could do with a little refurb, but on the whole it's ok
Heel vriendelijk onthaal we waren in faenza voor de passatore (100km ultraloop) ondanks we lang voor het toegestane incheck uur aankwamen werd ons toch snel een kamer aangeboden
It is impossible that the hotal has 4 strats...maybe in the 70s. Old furniture, small windows, very bad breakfast.
Large free parking, good Breakfast, Warm welcome (by a young man and young woman), Elevator and I'm ok with the price during my periode (half May). I should visit this hotel again. The internet service from Vodafone is to expansive. Single beds are a bit small for a 4 star ranked hotel.
A complete and a high quality service. Excellent stuff. A very nice restaurant. Excellent parking facility. Practical location. Fair price.
Very much worth the money, a feeling of luxury in a well-styled atmosphere. Very good service.
Friendly people, nice environment, good facilities
Very comfortable room. Excellent staff.
everything. no

I get turned down for SSI, of I'm angry but dealing with, I call Shands (referred to by hospital neuro) to find out why they haven't called about an appt time only to be told they haven't called due to I haven't met my share of cost for medicaid (2000.00) doesn't anyone think if I had that kinda of money I would be asking for help!!!!!!!!READ MORE
What people with MS do when there is no insurance?
Hi Ladygraycloud
May I ask...have you only applied to get SSI once? It seems the norm to be turned down the first time. Do appeal the decision. My mother, who has a major mental disability, had to do this twice and this was after getting so many doctors to say that she needed it.
Okay get your pen and paper ready because I have lots of information for you about financial assistance.
First of all MS Health Central has a newly updated page (actually I had suggested this page be created since so many of our questions are about financial and insurance concerns) about money matters. You can view this special Healthcare and Insurance page right here.
I am also going to give you the number and link to the National MS Society:
They have been very helpful to me and I am sure that someone there would be able to advise you. In a recent newsletter they talk about having hired 600 financial advisors to help with giving advice on anything from employment issues, insurance, to getting financial aid for the MS meds. Here is the link to the NMSS web site. And here is their phone number: 1-800-344-4867
The National MS society also has a page dedicated to information about financial assistance from all the drug companies which you can find here.
And here is direct information about how to reach any of the drug companies. They all seem to offer some form of financial assistance:
Drug Name Manufacturer Telephone Number Avonex Biogen Idec 800-456-2255 Rebif Serono: MS Lifelines 877-447-3243 Betaseron Berlex Laboratories 800-788-1467 Copaxone Teva Neuroscience 800-887-8100 Novantrone Serono: MS Lifelines 877-447-3243
Need help with affording an MRI?
There is assistance for paying for MRI's from the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America.
And if you need general telephone support or answers to questions there is
a new organization out there which gives peer to peer support by telephone 24/7 and they are called MS Friends. Here is their link and here is their telephone number: 1-866-673-7436 You can call toll free.
I hope this information is of help to you. MS is expensive. It is bad enough to have this disease but then to get stuck with all the bills can be overwhelming. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. And thank you for your question.
Hey Lady - I can relate to your frustration and anger at the system. Being in the process for 4 months and going for my SSDI medical review next week I have learned how to seek out resources. In addition to the excellent sources listed by merelyme I wanted to tell you to ask for help from your state rep and attorney general. You can connect via their website and the community liaison will (repectfully) ask the SS office about your case.
Other sources.
You can request financial aid from your town hall. If you live in a major city it is the aid office (not welfare office) for dire situations. I felt silly calling my town hall - but it worked.
The electric co. has a form for refrig. medicine which your doctor can sign and send in so your electricity won't be turned off.
'Neighbor helping neighbor' in NH helps if you hit bottom with your utilities - your state may have a similar program.
I get rebiff free from mslifelines while my SSDI is pending and I don't have income.
The MS foundation can help with upto $300 - not much I know - but it adds up (plus they are a great souce for info)
I am in the process of switching locations for my MRI - it depends on price. I've summited to a couple that have financial programs.
Free legal aid office can help you with finding a lawyer to appeal the decision - and I understand they take a % of the back payment after it is awarded.
I know you will find the resources out there - it just takes lots and lots of digging and listening. Good LuckREAD MORE
My wife was denied for ssi 3 times. We appealed and lost over and over. luckily one of her childhood friends had some advice for us and reffered us to "allsup". this company acts as your attorney but for free if you do not get awarded. If you win ( which we did) then they get paid %20 not to exceed $6000 of the back due amount. My wife is now approved for medicare starting dec 2011 and we receive ssi income for my wife and the kids. I hope this may give you another avenue to look into. good luck.READ MOREYou should know Answers to your question are meant to provide general health information but should not replace medical advice you receive from a doctor.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
The criteria for getting SSDI are complicated but given the diagnoses you have, I'm sure that you would qualify. You can get detailed information about this and about how to apply at: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/apps/firststep/content/ssdi-qa.html
Is your hesitance to apply for this based mostly on your love of your job or is there another reason? It doesn't sound as though your job loss is a certainty, but if it does happen, it is possible to accept money from SSDI and also continue to work a limited number of hours. Perhaps with your background you could serve as an advocate for women and/or children who have been abused when they go to court? Just a thought.

Morsy reverses on decree
CAIRO — President Mohamed Morsy reversed course early Sunday, annulling most of a controversial decree that granted him sweeping authority and unleashed Egypt's worst unrest since last year's revolution.
A referendum on a controversial constitution remains scheduled for Dec. 15, however, officials announced at a news conference in Cairo.
Morsy rescinded his Nov. 22 decree claiming near-absolute power and placing himself beyond judicial review, according to a former adviser. He said a modified version would be issued to define presidential powers and that decisions made under the old decree would not be subject to judicial review.
Morsy has not yet confirmed the statement.
His power grab sent hundreds of thousands of protesters into streets to denounce him as a dictator. Withdrawing it has been a key demand of a growing opposition, along with postponing the referendum and redrafting the document.
Leaders of the opposition coalition had no immediate reaction.
On Saturday, many of them refused to attend a negotiating session called by Morsy; others walked out before it concluded.
Tarek Masoud, a Harvard University associate professor and Middle East specialist, said that if Morsy was trying "to calm the situation, this falls short. If his aim was to outflank his opponents, he has succeeded."
More than two weeks of violence across the country have left more than 700 injured and a dozen dead, the presidential palace besieged by chanting crowds and defended by army tanks and troops.
As the national dialogue began, Morsy appeared to be preparing to grant the military broad powers to arrest civilians and keep public order until a new constitution is approved and parliamentary elections held, according to a report on Saturday in the state-run newspaper al-Ahram.
Morsy's cabinet approved the move, the newspaper said, and would require him to issue a new decree for it to take effect, which he had not done by late Saturday.
Many here are angered by Morsy's actions and equally worried that the proposed constitution — drafted by an Islamist-controlled assembly — will limit individual liberties and lead to Islamic rule.
Under the best circumstances, a nation in which 36 percent of adults are illiterate might find it difficult to fully comprehend the proposed constitution's 236 articles in just two weeks.
Morsy and the ruling Muslim Brotherhood insist his decree and the snap referendum involve the "legitimacy" of an elected president and of the ballot box.
So far, the United States — which considers Egypt a key ally and provides it with $1.5 billion in annual aid — has been cautious in its criticism of Morsy.
The opposition boldly insists it is trying to save Egypt's struggling democracy from a tyrant.
Some observers agree.
"A democratically elected president should still have checks on their power and should be subject to judicial oversight and the rule of law," said Heba Morayef, a Cairo-based researcher for Human Rights Watch.
She described Morsy's actions as "a recipe for abuse … fundamentally dangerous."
Journalist and Islamic scholar Ibrahim El-Houdaiby, whose family tree includes two former Brotherhood leaders, put it succinctly: "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
El-Houdaiby, who quit the Brotherhood years ago, recently wrote that the draft constitution "leaves the door wide open for repression and tyranny." Among other concerns, he said, it allows civilians to be tried in "ambiguous" circumstances by military courts.
Rushing into a referendum, he said, will force Egyptians to choose either "a constitution that blends tyranny with incompletion" or a return to despotism.
Morayef has compiled a list of clauses that, she said, make the new document more repressive than the country's 1971 constitution. Freedom of speech and religion and women's rights are among her top concerns.
One article subjects all rights to a "broad, very vague earlier article that (says) the state shall protect the true nature of the Egyptian family and … maintain morality and ethics," she said.
"It's an invitation to the abuse of the rights themselves."
Another provision allows the state "to discriminate against women, if they deem her obligation to her family as a priority," which could bar women from public office, she said.
Despite such concerns, the Brotherhood is pressing ahead with the referendum.
However, early voting by Egyptians abroad, set to begin on Saturday, was postponed because many diplomats refused to supervise it in the face of turmoil at home.
In a televised speech at the end of a week of growing bloodshed, Morsy said 40 of 129 arrested protesters had confessed to being paid to foment violence. A state prosecutor later freed all 129.
Nevertheless, Morsy's ominous remarks deepened the distrust of many here.
"I felt that Morsy was declaring war on Egyptians who are opposed to him," said Wael Eskandar, a political activist and writer.
Morsy's "confessions and investigations" language reminded Eskandar of the ousted Mubarak regime's "fabricating evidence and going on witch-hunts."
State-run media have reported that Morsy will issue another decree granting judicial and security powers to the military until a new constitution is enacted and parliamentary elections are held.
Eskandar expects "a wave of oppression and eliminating opponents" whenever Morsy feels politically strong enough.
"Morsy is giving the army the power to arrest in the absence of the police," Eskandar said. "He is trying to make allies with certain security forces in order to implement that wave of oppression and silence the opposition."
He also believes Morsy and the Brotherhood are engaged in a public relations campaign to sway American opinion, including U.S. visits by high-profile Brotherhood officials.

(CNSNews.com) – Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced Tuesday that she is pursuing plans to remove some captured illegal aliens from "prison-like or jail-like circumstances" and put them in converted hotels and nursing homes.
"To better manage detention operations, ICE will develop a risk assessment and custody classification, which will enable detainees to be placed in an appropriate facility," DHS said in a statement. "ICE will pursue detention strategies based on assessed risk and reduce costs by exploring the use of converted hotels, nursing homes and other residential facilities."
Napolitano explained her department's thinking at a press conference at Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters in Washington, D.C.
"Our detention system has some who have committed crimes, others whose crimes under federal law is a misdemeanor, others who have as I said before not committed a crime at all," Napolitano said.
DHS detained about 378,000 aliens last year, who at any given time "occupy 32,000 to 34,000 beds across the country," Napolitano said at her press conference. She said DHS would likely end its contractual relationships with at least some detention facilities currently holding illegal immigrants.
The department, Napolitano said, intended "to review all contracts for detention facilities to identify not only opportunities for improvement but also for renegotiation and indeed termination where warranted."
Napolitano noted that DHS will develop detention strategies based on assessed risk that will reduce costs and put illegal aliens "near immigration service providers." These strategies will include pursuing the use of non-prison-like housing.
"As was said, this is a system that encompasses many different types of detainees, not all of whom need to be held in prison-like circumstances or jail-like circumstances, which not only may be unnecessary but more expensive than necessary," said Napolitano.
"We will begin to house nonviolent non-criminals, such as newly arrived asylum seekers, at facilities commensurate with the risks that they present," said Napolitano. "And we will also begin efforts to house these populations near immigration service providers and pursue different options like converted hotels or residential facilities for their detentions."
Napolitano said DHS and ICE would provide a plan to Congress on that she called 'alternatives to detention.'
"We will develop an assessment tool to identify those aliens suitable for alternatives to detention," she said. "And we will submit a plan to Congress this fall to implement such a nationwide system."
When CNSNews.com asked to clarify Wednesday what DHS means by "Alternatives to Detention" (ATD) that it is considering using in dealing with captured illegal aliens who are awaiting deportation or potential deportation, Gillian Brigham, a spokeswoman with ICE, said "a range of alternatives" were being considered, including releasing and supervising, rather than detaining, some illegal aliens who have been arrested.
"'Alternatives to Detention' is kind of a range of things, and that includes stuff like electronic monitoring or intensive supervision, where people come and report into an office three times a week to a certain deportation officer there. Or have some sort of electronic monitoring," Brigham said.
As many as 15,000 illegal aliens are already in ATD program, Brigham said.
Brigham said it would be up to ICE officers and case workers to decide whether a non-criminal illegal alien is placed in the "less restrictive" detention in a converted hotel, nursing home or other residential facilities, released and monitored electronically, or required to report to an ICE office a specific number of times per week.
CNSNews.com asked Napolitano if the "alternatives to detention" program would be modeled on the catch-and-release system previously used in federal immigration enforcement. This involved releasing captured illegal aliens into the general population pending a court date. Many did not show up for the court proceeding.
The catch-and-release policy was ended during the Bush administration.
"No, you're right," said Napolitano. "And catch-and-release was problematic, and I can say that. I was governor of Arizona, and before that I was the attorney general of Arizona. So, we see what worked and what didn't work.
"And so one of—two of the issues that we need to make sure are covered as we look at alternatives to detention are, A, that those who are given ATD are not going to use that to escape, basically, or get into the general population in a way that we can't quickly find them and get them back," Napolitano added.
She said that another problem with alternatives to detention in the past is that it often actually prolonged adjudication of illegal aliens' immigration case.
"A second is as follows," said Napolitano. "One of the things that was happening over time because we were detaining so many, and will continue that as we do immigration enforcement, was that if somebody was given an alternative to detention, then they were kind of put at the back of the line in regards to actually having their status adjudicated.
"And so they were actually kind of in detention longer than they would have been if they'd simply been held and gone to an immigration court, had their status adjudicated and the removal completed," she said.
Janice Kephart, national security policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies, believes that "alternatives to detention" is just another name for the failed "catch and release" model.
"'Alternatives to Detention' is just another way to say 'Catch and Release,' which was the thorn in the side of the prior administration until they stopped it and put rule of law in place," said Kephart.
"Although managing detention facilities and their populations well is a good goal, simply doing it by reducing the illegal population and dispersing them back into American communities does not help enforce immigration law or make our communities more secure," Kephart said.
Kephart pointed out that Mir Aimal Kansi, who murdered two CIA employees outside the agency's Langley, Va., headquarters; Ramzi Yousef, who masterminded the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center; and Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, who inspired the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center, had all been asylum applicants who were left free in the United States.

A-1645 - Qualified Purchasing Agent Bill
Dear Mayor:
Just moments ago, the Assembly approved A-1645, which requires every municipality to appoint a qualified purchasing agent. It will now join its companion bill, S-770, which has already been released by committee and awaits final action on the Senate Floor. The Assembly vote was 49 in favor, 28 opposed, with 2 not voting. There was no debate or discussion of this measure, about which we wrote in detail in our June 11 "Dear Mayor" letter to you.
A-1645 changes the law from a permissive discretion that can be exercised by municipalities to an unfunded mandate. Presently, if a local unit can increase its bid threshold, pursuant to the Local Public Contracts Law, if it opts to appoint a qualified purchasing agent. The decision to have a certified QPA perform purchasing for a municipality rests squarely with the local governing body. We strongly believe this flexibility should remain.
It is, we believe, unwise and unnecessary to impose an unfunded mandate on beleaguered taxpayers when we are being told to prioritize and do more with less. The Department of Community Affairs, the agency required under the bill to implement training and certification, testified in opposition to A-1645 and its Senate counterpart, S-770 as an unworkable mandate. And the Commissioner of DCA has asked the sponsors to defer action on this mandate at this time.
We support professionalism in all aspects of municipal operations. To that end, the League is supportive of continuing education courses and, in fact, facilitates training seminars in coordination with the Department of Community Affairs as a means for purchasing agents to stay on top of new laws and statutes affecting purchasing functions. These successful and well received efforts provide ample tools to encourage proper cost effective purchasing.
This legislation does not in any way change the procurement process nor does it provide any new or additional capabilities to assist towns in improving purchasing functions. And, it would not save the towns any money. Adding another certification process is not of sufficient value to equal the costs associated with the mandatory requirement of appointing a qualified purchasing agent. This represents another demand on the property tax dollar.
Very truly yours,
William G. Dressel, Jr.
Executive Director

Actor Hugh Jackman will be placing his hands and feet into wet concrete at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 at 11am. Jackman joins a select number of Hollywood actors, producers, and other VIP's who have been immortalized in the theater's forecourt.
Jackman's career began in Australia in 1999 with the small movies Paperback Hero and Erskineville Kings, but he was launched into the Hollywood spotlight a year later as he played the mutant Wolverine in X-Men. In addition to movies, he has also starred in musicals and plays, and was the host of this year's Academy Awards ceremony. His next movie to open in theaters, X-Men Origins: Wolverine on May 1st, continues the X-Men franchise, and is one of the summer's highly anticipated blockbusters.
The first footprint ceremony at the Chinese Theatre was held in 1927, with Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks doing the honors. Since then, more than 200 ceremonies have been held. The Chinese Theatre has a map showing the location of each, as well as a full list of the ceremonies and photos of recent inductees.

Tomorrow, hot on the heels of the Hotmail roll-out, the new Windows Live Essentials becomes available for public beta testing. Windows Live Essentials beta requires Windows Vista or Windows 7, and is available in English, French, Dutch, Japanese, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, or Spanish.  As soon as the beta goes live tomorrow (well update this blog post when it does), you'll be able to get it from here.
[update: oops! Dutch will be available also!]
As previously announced, this release of Essentials is focused on two things: connecting Windows 7 to the cloud services you already use, and making everyday tasks simpler, so that you can do more on your PC.
Connecting Windows 7 to the cloud
Weve designed Essentials to connect your Windows experience to the web services you already use not just the ones from Microsoft. The new betas of Windows Live Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Mail, Writer, and Messenger connect to photo and video sharing (SkyDrive, Flickr, YouTube, Facebook, SmugMug), social networking (Facebook, MySpace, Linkedin), email (Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail), blogging (Spaces, WordPress, Blogger), and document productivity (Office Web Apps) services. And the new Windows Live Sync keeps your files synchronized across multiple PCs and in the cloud.  You can even directly access your PC over the web with Sync's new remote desktop feature.
Making everyday tasks simpler and enabling new possibilities
People like to get creative on their PCs as much as they like seeing what everyone else has been up to. Whether its Retouch, Panoramic Stitch, or Photo Fuse in Photo Gallery, Auto Movie in Movie Maker, or Photo Mail in the new Windows Live Mail, we think youll be excited by the new additions to Essentials that make advanced tasks, well, easy. If you havent yet tried PhotoFuse to merge together the best of several photos, its a lot of fun.
You can also view this video on YouTube
We hope youll enjoy the new Essentials beta. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

Google is killing Google Reader as of July 1. For those who use it often, like me and I believe many opinion leaders, this is disastrous news.
Of course it doesn't make any money for Google and perhaps it's true they would like to siphon its users to Google Plus instead. However there are a number of petitions that have instantly started with many thousands of signers so perhaps the sleeping giant can take another look at who they really want to have on their side.

US forces kill 43 Shiite militiamen
Page Tools
US forces backed by aircraft killed dozens of Shiite militiamen in fierce overnight clashes near the Iraqi holy city of Najaf, residents and the US military said yesterday.
"Forty-three anti-coalition forces were killed near Najaf and an anti-coalition anti-aircraft system was destroyed by an AC-130 gunship," a US military spokeswoman said in Baghdad.
Rebel cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who has led an uprising against the US-led occupation by his Mahdi Army militia and supporters, is holed up in Najaf. Sheikh Sadr is wanted by US forces on charges of ordering the killing of a rival cleric.
Residents said US planes fired at a Mahdi Army militia checkpoint on the outskirts of the town of Kufa, 10 kilometres north-east of Najaf, after fighting between US troops and militiamen broke out in the area.
Paul Bremer, the US administrator in Baghdad who had called the situation in Najaf "explosive", had earlier told Sheikh Sadr to withdraw his militia and its weapons from mosques and schools immediately.
In Washington on Monday, US Secretary of State Colin Powell said he never considered resigning over the Iraq war.
Pundits have questioned whether Mr Powell should have stepped down after a new book by journalist Bob Woodward depicted him as raising questions about the difficulty of occupying Iraq.

I don't particularly like either.
What i'm looking for fic's where Dean attempts suicide - whether something makes him do it or otherwise. I'd rather it not be season 4 or 5 simply because the fic's with Dean-centric-self-harm I was able to find were all in that time line. (But I will read them, so rec away if you have them. XD ) I like all couplings as long as it's bottom!Dean if it's slash. (Which is preferred over Het, but with this kind of fic it doesn't really matter, I guess...)
Also, I really like Mpregs, but I've been having a hard time finding one's where Dean's the one preggers. XD (I could just be blind, though) Again, I love all pairings as long as it's Bottom!Dean. I like Dean/Gabriel, Dean/Castiel, Dean/Sam, Dean/Balthazar, Dean/Crowley, Dean/YED, Dean/Michael, Dean/Lucifer, ect. :3 I would like stories that go into the actual pregnancy, possibly even birth (Cookies if anyone can find a fic where there are difficulties during labor so there can be some Hurt!Dean and possibly h/c) but I'll also take ones that focus more on smut, but mention the pregnancy.
Anyways~ Thank you in advance guys, you're awesome. ^_^

West Point Island, Carcass Island
A glorious sunrise lit up the low lying islands of the West Falklands, while black-browed albatrosses and sooty shearwaters banked above the white caps. We had arrived in one of the most important albatross nesting areas on the planet, where 80% of the world's black-browed albatrosses come to mate and raise their young. Blue-eyed shags flew along beside us, their curiosity luring them over to supervise our arrival at their fishing grounds.
Our morning stop was at West Point Island, a 3,100 acre island with an attractive settlement on its eastern shore. Eighteenth century sealers are thought to have been the island's first visitors, and soon the island's protected harbor became a base for sealing operations in the area. We landed on a rickety wooden pier just below the home of Lily and Roddy Napier. We had the option of hiking up and across the island to the quartzite outcropping known as the Devil's Nose, or catching a ride there in a land rover. Beautiful green moorlands spread out in front of us, and we enjoyed the opportunity to meander through the grasslands.
Soon we arrived at the other side, where we descended into the tussac grass and to the edge of a mixed colony of nesting black-browed albatross and rockhopper penguins. Single albatross chicks were patiently perched atop the perfect columnar mud nests constructed by their parents during the spring. We witnessed the arrival of some parents back from feeding at sea, which then promptly began regurgitating food to their huge and hungry downy chick. Scattered in among all of this activity were groups of molting rockhopper penguins, their bright yellow plumes jutting out above their eyes. Their task of the day seemed to be sleeping, which was not surprising since molting requires a whole lot of waiting and fasting.
After ample time for taking in this amazing scene, we began our return trip across the island's saddle and back to the settlement. Striated caracaras loitered all around the buildings, including a few which sat with us in the garden. After feasting on pastries and tea, we returned to the Minerva for lunch where we dared not eat too much, so we'd have an appetite for 'round two' of tea and pastries later in the afternoon.
Captain Giovanni Biasutti welcomed us back onboard, and told us that a surprise was awaiting us on the pool deck. There we found the Minerva quartet rocking out on the deck, and sausages and hot dogs grilling out under the blue sky. We ate while looking out on the spectacular kelp forests and rocky coastline; meanwhile, the ship made its way to our afternoon stop at Carcass Island.
Carcass Island is named for a ship which visited there during the late 18th century. The availability of abundant cover, and the absence of cats, rats and mice throughout the island's history, has made for a very healthy population of small birds. The most noticeable were the tussac birds which were actively foraging for invertebrates in the dried piles of kelp on the beach. Some were so fearless that they came over and pecked at our boots. Gentoo and Magellanic penguins were scattered on the beach, and pairs of the 4 kg Falkland steamer ducks vocalized from the shallows. But the stars at the landing beach were the Commerson's dolphins, which followed the zodiacs around and surfed the small breakers. Their silhouettes against the brilliant white sand bottom were a sight to behold.
After walking the beach, we climbed up into the tussac past groups of molting gentoo penguins until we reached the fence line, which we followed all the way along the coast to the settlement. The rocky shoreline was hosted by both species of oystercatchers, which were searching the crevices for limpets and other intertidal snacks. Kelp geese were grazing the green algae along the shore, while a lone black-crowned night heron hunted fish in a large intertidal pond. We wandered through the spectacular cypress trees planted around the house, and headed inside for a cup of tea and the opportunity to thank our hosts, Rob and Lorraine McGill. Striated caracaras watched over our boots outside the door, while we heard stories about life on this lovely and remote island. We snapped our last photos of tussac birds along the shoreline, and then boarded a zodiac back to the Minerva.
After a quick shower, we grabbed a cocktail and headed to the Darwin lounge for Recap. We talked about the day's encounters with the albatrosses and dolphins, and then Naturalist JJ Apestegui read a hilarious letter about the Falklands "WC". Expedition Leader Aaron Russ went over our plans for the next day, and then we spilled out to dinner followed by a cocktail on deck in the calm West Falkland winds.

Penske Truck Leasing Gets 10,000th Hino Truck
NOVI, MI — Hino Trucks celebrates the delivery of its 10,000th truck to Penske Truck Leasing.
"We congratulate the entire team at Hino and Toyota on this significant milestone," said Roger Penske, chairman of Penske Truck Leasing (PTL). "Hino continues to be a trusted supplier of high-quality trucks within our truck leasing and truck rental fleets. We are pleased with the performance of these vehicles and the outstanding support Hino provides."
The entire assembly team and management from Hino and Penske celebrated the event at Hino's plant in Williamstown, WV.
Hino Trucks, a Toyota Group Company, assembles, sells, and services Class 5 to 7 commercial trucks in the United States and has a network of over 200 dealers nationwide.
The 10,000th truck is a 2015 model 268A, part of Hino's class 6 and 7 conventional truck line up. Hino says the model is well suited for the lease and rental market segment – of which Hino has 10 percent of the market. The 10,000th truck will be part of Penske's rental fleet.
Penske Truck Leasing operates more than 200,000 vehicles and serves customers from more than 1,000 locations in North and South America, Europe and Asia.
"This major milestone began in 2004 when PTL received its first Hino 268 truck. We are proud of our longstanding partnership with PTL and the delivery of our 10,000th Hino truck," said Yoshinori Noguchi, president and CEO for Hino Trucks.

The Peek / Glimpse
These techniques are important for any aspiring card manipulator.
This term is applied to the method of ascertaining what a given card is unknown to the spectators. The earliest description of the sleight that I have been able to find is that given by Robert Houdin in his book, "Les Secrets de la Prestidigitation et de la Magic," published in 1868, as follows:
"You slip the little finger under the card you desire to know, then with extreme rapidity you open the pack at that point and, with a swift glance, ascertain what the card is. The necessary movement, quick as lightning, cannot possibly be perceived by the public, inasmuch as it is made while carelessly waving the hand about, and with the backs of the cards towards the spectators."
In Robert-Houdin's time there were no indices on the cards, hence to be sure of noting the card the pack had to be opened quite widely, book fashion, the upper part of the pack being gripped between the third and little fingers, With modern cards this is not necessary, the lower end of the packet being raised by the little finger just enough to allow a glimpse of the lower index.
It must be noted particularly that your gaze must be directed at the spectators and not at the pack, In the course of a natural gesture accompanying your patter, the pack is brought in the line of vision. At that moment the index is exposed and the card noted. Fig. 1.
There are many modern methods of sighting a card.
Methods for glimpsing the Top Card
Methods for glimpsing the Bottom Card
Methods for glimpsing a Middle Card
From Card Manipulations by Jean Hugard (1934)

Actress Viola Davis is featured in the February issue of LA Times Magazine.
In the issue Viola talks her early acting ambitions:
"Even back when I was 11, I knew that Isabel Sanford from The Jeffersons came from the stage. I never watched the Oscars, but I watched the Tonys every year. I wanted to be onstage. I wanted to be like Colleen Dewhurst or Jane Alexander—one of those great ladies of the theater, doing Ibsen and Shakespeare."
She also talks making a name for herself in Hollywood:
"You can be in the business for 23 years, which I have been, and suddenly something happens that wakes people up. For me, that was being in a movie with Meryl Streep, Amy Adams and Philip Seymour Hoffman,"Davis says of Doubt. "It makes people realize you're there. Otherwise you're that black girl who had a guest or costar role in a TV show here or there."
Her new film Won't Back Down releases September 28th.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/4/2013 (1574 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Police Service's Arson Strike Force is investigating a $300,000 shed fire at Canada Inns Stadium Tuesday evening.
The fire sent black smoke into the sky over the old stadium at about 7:45 pm. The situation became urgent when firefighters learned there were two 500-gallon tanks of gasoline behind the shed.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers were planning to move concert flooring this weekend from its old home at the stadium to its new home at Investors Group field before it was destroyed in the fire Tuesday night.
Team spokesman Darren Cameron said he doesn't have an estimate on the damage yet but "we were fully insured."
"We're in the process of replacing (the concert flooring) as soon as possible," he said.
The flooring was stored in a storage shed on the stadium's southeast grounds that went up in flames shortly after 7:30 p.m. By 8:40 p.m., the shed was completely engulfed in flames and the roof had collapsed.
The blaze burned for about 90 minutes and the smoke that billowed from the shed could be seen as far away as the University of Manitoba.
The cause of the fire is still undetermined.

Ford Teams Up With Google To Make Your Car Smarter
You already use Google to find things on the Internet. So it's not surprising to hear that your car will be using technology developed by the search engine company to find its way around too.
Ford has teamed up with Google to develop a car that will be smart enough to know where you're going and how best to get you there so you don't get stuck in traffic. Using Google's predictive algorithms (Prediction API), Ford wants to create a car that determines where you're going by examining where you've been, thereby optimizing the performance of your car.
Here's how it will work: Adding pattern-matching capability to existing cloud-based datasets, the Prediction API is able to predict probable outcomes for current events. The car would feature a setting that would learn from our behavior and adapt to it. Using this information, it will suggest a route and calibrate itself for ideal fuel mileage and performance.
"Once the destination is confirmed, the vehicle would have instant access to a variety of real-time information so it can optimize its performance, even against factors that the driver may not be aware of," said Ryan McGee, a technical expert with Ford's vehicle controls architecture and algorithm design division. "This information can ultimately be used to optimize vehicle performance attributes such as fuel efficiency and drivability."

cdembrey: If Leica had it's own Raw format, the problem would be solved. Simple as that.
The kidz in former Eastern Block countries write the best viruses, get a team from east Germany to write a Leica Raw file. An exclusive camera deserves an exclusive Raw.
Technically the comment is true. If Leica had their own RAW format, they would not trigger bugs in Apple's decoding of DNG.
This is squarely Apple's fault, for two reasons.
1. As other apps can open files fine, the folks at Apple likely never tested how their software would behave on monochromatic DNGs.
2. That a whole library becomes un-openable because of a few files that cannot be read due to bugs shows quite poor software design. The files should simply be rejected if the decoder cannot open them properly.
Stacey_K: " and successive cameras".... well that is unless Olympus decides to change the lens mount again. I'm done trusting this company to support the customers who invest in their system.
Through corporate mis-management and a partnership with a crappy sensor manufacturer (panasonic), Olympus killed the 4/3 mount right as they had a sensor (the one used in the OMD) in their hands that would have made their lovely ZD 4/3 optics shine. Instead they pull this bait and switch to m4/3. I give then 3-4 years before they bail on this format and switch to yet another mount.
Olympus's problem has never been their optics, and I'm sure these will be fantastic lenses. But I'm willing to bet they will decide in the future the 4/3 sensor is too small and ditch this mount, leaving anyone who buys these lenses left in an orphaned system. I would never trust this company again after what they did with 4/3.
Nobody needs to feel sorry for people with FT lenses. They work beautifully on the E-M1; I use them all the time, especially a superb Sigma Macro 105/2.8 that is no longer made in FT/MFT mount.
Matt1645f4: If its the Monkeys image, what's to stop others using images taken by the Mars rover for example the hardware is NASA's but the image is captured by the Rover (yes the rover can be made to take a photo remotely but it sends back many of its own). The same can be said for each operator that directs the rover to photo various objects. is it theirs?
Pictures of the Mars rover, and other work created by the US government, is not subject to Copyright.
In any case, a claim can be made that the rover, or a drone, are under the control of the photographer (a sort of extension of the shutter button); a monkey is clearly not.
Old cameras had big lenses, and relatively small bodies around them (because film did the trick). This D4s is ugly: a tiny lens attached to a huge black brick that contains the circuitry. It's starting not to make sense. I wish they gave me a light lens+sensor combo, tethered to the rest of the computer that I could keep in my backpack. It's like taking a photo while handholding a desktop computer.
