that's my point, the person running mkfs knows this information, and can easily answer questions that mkfs asks (or provide this information on the command line). but mkfs doesn't ask for this infomation, instead it asks the user to define a whole bunch of parameters that are not well understood. An XFS guru can tell you how to configure these parameters based on different hardware layouts, but as long as it remains a 'back art' getting new people up to speed is really hard. If this can be reduced down to
is this a hardware raid device if yes how many drives are there what raid type is used (linear, raid 0, 1, 5, 6, 10)and whatever questions are needed, it would _greatly_ improve the quality of the settings that non-guru people end up using.

It was ideal for a base close to the airport and i cannot thank them enough for printing out my Boarding pass. Plus changing my room to back of the house because i am a light sleeper
Buffet breakfast was included.
Bathroom was filthy. toilet had human dirt not flushed away, shower was so dirty we could not even use it, still had an empty shampoo sachet lying on soap dish. breakfast was toast and tea/coffee, very basic.
Clean convenient and good value 4% charge to use a credit card

US Senator John Kerry appeared set to put his seal on the Democratic presidential nomination today, with polls showing him well ahead of his rivals.
Senator Kerry was leading comfortably in four states - Missouri, Arizona, Delaware and North Dakota - and polling near the top elsewhere in the latest battles to choose a challenger to Republican President George Bush.
But North Carolina Senator John Edwards was giving him a tough fight in the southern state of South Carolina, as was former NATO commander Wesley Clark in the south-western state of Oklahoma.
Polls in each state were divided over who was ahead.
At stake in the six contests, and a seventh in the western state of New Mexico, were 269 nominating delegates - an eighth of the 2162 needed to secure a place on November's ballot against Mr Bush.
Senator Kerry, the winner in Iowa and New Hampshire, hopes to sweep today's votes, chase his rivals from the race and focus on Mr Bush, who is falling in opinion polls and fighting criticism over the Iraq war and his budget deficit.
But Mr Edwards, Mr Clark and erstwhile frontrunner Howard Dean were trying to scratch out enough delegates to keep the race open at least until "Super Tuesday" on March 2, when 10 states holding 1151 delegates are up for grabs.
Dr Dean, the former governor of Vermont, appeared to be trailing badly ahead of today's contests and has been focusing on other battlefields, including the midwestern state of Michigan that will be disputed on Saturday.
Senator Kerry's foes pumped up their rhetoric and targeted their appearances yesterday in the hope of derailing the Massachusetts senator's growing juggernaut.
Dr Dean painted the 19-year Senate veteran as a tired Washington hack who accepted money from the special interests he vowed to fight and who waffled on the Iraq war. "He (Kerry) couldn't make up his mind whether he was for (the invasion of) Iraq or not, for the longest time," he said.

All right, as painful as it seems, do you think you can name one of your personal flaws?
Company really bothers me. I'm a bit too introverted.
I take very little seriously.
I tend to take everything too far.
I have a tendency to brag about myself in an arrogant and pompous way.
I let people take advantage of me.
I hold grudges that aren�t easily redeemed.
I'm always being fooled. I guess I'm a bit too trusting.
I have a tendency to laugh at inappropriate times.
I take everything too seriously. According to everyone else, at least.
Tell you what; I'll let you know when something comes to mind, okay?
In general, how do others view you?
People think I'm lovable and friendly.^^
People think I'm crafty, and no one really trusts me. It's probably wise of them.
They find me to be a loner and an outcast.
Others find me rather cold at first, but realize I warm up after I know them.
People think I'm sweet and generous, which I am.
They think I'm too self-centered for my own good. I can't see it.
In general, people think I'm intelligent and alert.
They find me loyal, though they also find me a bit too humorless.
People usually find me rather intimidating.
Others find me funny and lighthearted.
What's the most important thing that comes to mind at the moment?
Laughter! Laughter and joy! That�s what makes the world go 'round!
Keeping things the way they are.
Friendship! No Wait... Ice cream. No... Friendship! Yeah, friendship.
There are so many important aspects of life, it's impossible to name just one.
Giving people what's coming to 'em.
Fun. Everyone needs to have fun.
Nature. A truly respectable aspect in life.
Protecting the ones you care for.
All you need is love.^^ That or complete domination.
What�s your outlook on people?
Most people are cruel, devilish and uncaring. Very rarely will I find a person of moderate moral values.
People are such an interesting concept... I could watch them for hours.
Fun, aren�t they?
People are fine, but they'll just have to come to terms with the fact that I'm better than all of them.
People are, for the most part, good and caring. However, society has a way of corrupting the human race, and twisting many into foolish or vicious beings.
People are great! I love meeting new people!
Some people are nice, some people are not. Some people are insightful, some should be shot. It rhymes.^^
It depends on the person. Some are kind and friendly, while others are cold and withdrawn.
I'm... Not... Sure...
People are time consuming and worthless.
If you witnessed an acquaintance of yours being threatened by another, what would you do?
I'd rush over there and help them out! Now, now, lets not fight...
Sit down and watch intently.
I'd get someone else to stop them. I'm not one to get involved in arguments.
Hmmmm... It depends on who this acquaintance is...
I'd try and help them work it out with words, and not violence. If that fails, I'll take action, and fight.
Go over there and kick the other guys butt. Take that, you jerk!
Walk over, force the antagonist to stop, and walk away. You're welcome.
Keep walking. It's his problem, not mine.
I'd help them out of course! There�s nothing' like friendship in this whole world! Also, I like the occasional battle.^^
Picking on my friends? Not on my watch...
How do you show anger?
Anger? Nooooo I'm never angry. Slightly ticked, sure; a little rattled, sometimes; mildly annoyed, once in a while... But never angry. *Smile*
I flip from a bumbling dunce into a lean, mean, killing machine. If anything stands in my way, it's done for.
I'm never really angry. I'm mostly plagued with sadness.
When I'm mad, everyone knows it. I shout and scream, sometimes even physical violence is necessary. I HATE ALL OF YOU!
My tone of voice changes, as well as my expression. Usually I don't do anything though. Not until I'm pushed to the edge.
I direct my anger to the subject, and let it explode. Everyone else is safe, for the most part.
I usually just mutter and complain to myself. Feh.
Though I usually don't face true anger, when I'm mad, I'm MAD. Just stay out of my way or you'll end up hanging upside-down from a tree.
Physical violence. Always physical violence.
Mope in the corner.
Okay, so you're at a friendly party. First of all, what are you doing?
Sitting in a chair watching everyone enjoy themselves.
OH MAN! FOOD! *Shoots to table, loads plate with snacks, then trips on the wire plug connecting the stereo, ruining it for everybody* Oh I meant to do that My bad, everyone! *Stands up and loads plate once more*
Embarrassing myself on the dance floor. Hey, I'm trying really hard, okay?
Showing off my moves to the ladies/men. They can't keep themselves off me.
Dragging my friend to the dance floor.^^
Leaning against a wall staring at my feet. Why was I dragged here, anyway?
Well this is pointless. *Walks to snack table* At least there's food.
Lurking in the shadows, smirking at passerbys. Having fun?
My friend has dragged me to the dance floor. I really don't want to, but I do it for his/her sake.
Most likely spiking the punch. Enjoy.^^ *Snicker*
At that same party, the lights suddenly go out. When they come back on, a headless body is lying in the middle of the dance floor. What's your reaction?
Oh no! Oh-no-oh-no-oh-no-oh-no-oh-no! *Runs screaming in a panic* Gyaaaa!
GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! *Weeps uncontrollably*
At a party like this, it was bound to happen.
Awww, another party ruined. Dang it all... Now what?
Well we should probably find out who did it Any ideas?
*Sigh* What now? Should we dispose of the body, at least?
Oh boy. I knew no good would come of a huge party.
I have no idea what's going on... Did I miss something interesting?
That's no way to get a head in life........... What? Why is everyone looking at me?
*Smirk* Oops.
When you arrive at school/work, the first thing you do is go to your locker/desk. When you open it, however, you find someone has stuffed it with rotting fish. Now what?
Oh boy. This was uncalled for.
All right, so it's mildly amusing. Now comes swift death; which, in return, should also be mildly amusing.
I'll forget about it. Yes, it's annoying, but it was just a childish prank. If they do it again, then I'll take action.
Gaa! Whoever did this; I'll find you! I'll find you, and tear out your lungs! You're going to regret the day you messed with ME!
Oh boy. That's not good That's not good at all Awwww. *Hangs head*
Revenge shall be mine, a just revenge of course. I'm not going to give them more than what they deserve.
I know who did it. I know exactly who did it. *Coolly walks off to hunt down perpetrator*
At least its just fish. There's about a thousand worse things it could be.
This isn't funny. I'll find you. Mark my words... I will find you.
Hmmm. Smells fishy to me.
You're driving down the street, when a huge traffic jam hits. You're going to be stuck there for a while, and the guy in the car behind you won't stop yelling out the window and honking. In addition to this, there are cars on either side of you, making it impossible to drive up onto the sidewalk. (You know who you are) What are you going to do?
Get out, and tell them to stop it in a friendly way. If they tell me to shut up, I'll walk back to my car, and mope, still having to deal with the annoying beeping.
*Turns around angrily,* Hey, hey, hey! Knock it off, already! Don't make me come back there! Cause I will!
Sit there angrily, dealing with the annoying honking, trying to lock myself in a room in my mind.
Scream and honk back at them. Jerk! Knock it off, already! Can't you see there's nothing I can do?! What are you, stupid?! Eergh, this is pointless!
Kindly ask them to stop. If they don't, then I'll take it a step further.
Turn around and glare. See? They stopped.
Tell them to stop it, before I rip their face off. It usually works.
I'd deal with it for a while. When I'm not able to handle it any more, I'd step out of my car, walk over, smile, rip the steering wheel out, and walk back.
Step out and try to beat them to death until my friend pulls me away, telling me to calm down.
Step out and tell them to stop. If they refuse, I'll walk back to my car, unbothered. Heheh... It'll be sad when they find out their brake cable is missing...
You've been asked by your boss/teacher to staple a two-inch high stack of blank printer paper with just one staple. Good luck.
I'm not going to complain about the task. Of course, I'm not going to try, either.
Okay! *Tries really, really hard, and fails* Awww... *Tries and fails again* No... *Tries once more, and fails* NO! *Screams* WHY CANT I DO IT?!
The best way of solving this is to calculate the most efficient way to pull it off, and accomplish the task with as little frustration as possible.
*The staple is shoved partway in barely holding them together, and half the sheets are ripped and bent* I... Am... AMAZING!
Um... I don't think I'll be able to pull this off... Is it really physically possible to staple a stack like this with one staple? Are you serious in asking this of me? I mean I'll try, but I already know what's going to happen.
Do you really expect me to staple two inches worth of paper with one staple? That's stupid. You're stupid.
I'm not even going to try. That's the stupidest task I've ever heard. She probably just gave it to me because she new I wouldn't be able to do it.
*Staples easily* Well, that was pointless.
*Stands with stack in hands* ...............Demotion is imminent.
SURE! I'll take on that demon stack known as printer paper, and I'll kick its butt so hard, it'll end up in China! VICTORY! Looks like that papers bark was worse than it's bite...
What do you think of yourself?
I'm the most amazing thing to ever grace the earth! Everyone deserves to share my presence. Why am I so incredible?! *Rants about awesomeness*
I'm happy! I'm always happy! Until I get mad Then I'm mad. Or sad. When I'm sad, I'm not happy. But I'm usually happy!
I'm so incredible; I don't even need to brag. People take one look at me, and they already know.
I'm usually sad. I am smart though; I got that going for me. Still, what's the point of being brainy if I'm always melancholy?
I'm not worthy of this life. I'm not worthy of anything, really.
I'm strong and independent. I'm a fine person, though I wouldn't say I'm infatuated with myself.
I'm great! I'm hilarious, fun-filled, and quite adorable! Awww *Hugs self*
Oh, well I'm okay, I suppose. People are always thinking I'm something I'm not, though. That can be a bit of a bother.
I'm not necessarily a happy person, but I'm still rather egotistical and self-confident. Still, most of my emotions are bottled up inside.
I'm fine. Things could be so much better for me if I weren't stuck in this stupid and inconvenient body.
Can you keep a secret?
I'll try... I'll try real hard... I'll try and try and try; Then explode in the middle of a crowd, letting everyone know. Oops.
Of course. Depending on the severity of the situation, at least. If it involves the death of a friend or so on, I'm probably going to inform someone.
That depends. If you ask me to keep a secret, I won't tell anyone. If you ask me to keep a secret, then force me to take an oath saying I'll never inform a soul, I'll tell everyone.
Yes, I can keep a secret. *12 seconds later* Hey Natsumi, guess what?
I'm incredibly good at keeping secrets. I'm very dependable and trustworthy. I've never let someone down by revealing their secrets to another soul.
You don't trust me? I can keep a secret. I keep lots of secrets. I'm really good at respecting others wishes, on account of the fact that I know what it feels like to be disrespected. I'll tell no one.
I don't really have anyone to tell anyway, so I might as well keep it secret.
I'm a man/woman of my word. Of course I can keep a secret. Although not that many people are openly willing to share them with me.
Hmmmmm............ Secret?
Um... Yes... *Shifty eyes*
At a theme park, where might you be?
Being dragged around by my friends, going wherever they're going, and doing whatever they're doing I don't want to be here, but my friends really wanted me to come... So I did.
Sure, I'd be having fun. Doing what normal people do, eating what normal people eat... As long as I'm surrounded by friends who care about me, I'm fine.
Trying to push my way past all the people waiting in line. Get out of the way, idiot!
I'm doing whatever everyone else wants to do. I'm flexible, and though I do have preferences over activities, if others don't want to, we don't have to. I'm just saying what I think, but going with the flow.
Sitting on the bench, muttering to myself. Why am I here? How did I get dragged into this situation? I hate everyone.
At the petting zoo, sitting in the corner stroking all the poor, trapped animals, which clearly prefer my company over that of small children. That's when the zookeeper tries to force me out on account of the fact that I'm not being 'fair' to the other kids.
Volunteering for every show and competition in need of an audience member, and attempting to bump into every man-in-a-giant-stuffed-animal-costume possible. I'd love to work at a place like this It's like heaven in sticky, smoke-scented, carnival form.
Happily riding the rides, enjoying the shows, and, of course, petting the adorable animals at the petting zoo.^^ Awww, aren't these pygmy goats the most adorable things you've ever seen? *Hugs goat*
Riding the carousel. Again... And again... And again... Grinning at the terrified ride operator every time I pass.
You don't want to know. I mean, you really don't want to know. It would ruin your outlook on theme parks forever.
Are you a good listener?
Not really. I try. I try really hard, but...
I'm terrible at listening. That's about all there is too it. I can't help it, I'm just thinking about my own little... Oh! A butterfly!
I'm always listening, always respecting, and always sympathizing with the speaker. Even if I'm not that interested, I'll pay attention, because it's the kind thing to do. I'll answer every question, and speak when necessary.
Sure, I listen. I just don't care.
I am. I listen to everything people have to say, and when people are talking around me; trying or not; I always catch their conversations, whether I was expected to be included, or not.
I listen. I listen, and then speak up when I hear something I don't like.
Yes. I'll listen to every word. And though I may not care, I still respect every word that comes out of their mouth.
I'm looking at the person; but thinking about something completely different. Well, it's not like it was important, or anything, right?
I listen. I listen really, really hard. Unfortunately, it goes right over my head. *Nods in agreement* Sure, I get it...
I'm sorry, what was that?
What's something little that might upset or frustrate you anyway?
I really wanted that piece of sushi. No, like, I really wanted it. Why? Why do you have to be so cruel to me? All I've ever been is a good friend, a good companion, someone who sticks with you through thick and thin... And this is how you repay me? By taking my sushi?! Tha--That's not fair That's not... That's not... *Overreacts* GYAAAAAAAAA! I'LL KILL YOU!
If I don't get my way, or if things don't go how I planned, I'm usually a little frustrated, I suppose. Okay, so I'm really frustrated. I just make sure nobody else can tell. No, no. You just ruined my plans for complete domination... It's no big deal. *Screams in head*
Children smashing bugs on the sidewalk, or burning ants with magnifying glasses. Those are living creatures too, you know. And they can feel just as much pain as you or I. Those poor animals don't deserve the kind of treatment they're receiving. Just leave them alone for once, okay?!
What? What do you mean these fries are two dollars? That's outrageous! Ridiculous! No. No way! There's absolutely no way you're getting me to pay that! *Begins eating fries* It's completely absurd! How you can cheat people out of that kind of money for an eighth of a pound of fried potato shreds!? I won't pay it! *Attacked by security guards* Hey! HEY! Get off of me, you stupid... (Rants on)
The dishonoring of my family line, or any other aspect of my life. When it's regarding me, I don't mind so much, but to disrespect my ancestors... I will not tolerate that!
I hate it when people aren't paying attention to me. I NEED to be the center of attention in almost every situation, and when I'm not, I'll force myself into that position by throwing a fit. Not necessarily a fit of anger, but a fit of crass commentating, annoying outbursts, and irritating howling. No, not just screaming Actual howling. Woof.
*Typing furiously* So close to completion... *Bzzzzt Kkksh* No... No *Computer crashes* NO! Oh, why didn't I SAVE?!
An unlabeled VHS tape, or blank DVD. You know it has something on it... But what? So you spend time fast forwarding though it all, seeing if there's actually anything worth keeping, and whether you want to record over it or not. Then you've just wasted three hours of your life (in which you could have been doing something productive) watching an old episode of "The Sopranos" in fast motion. Then you ask yourself where the tape came from, anyway. You've never seen this show in your life...
What? What do you mean you don't think I can write a poem?! I can too! Here Here!.................. I... I can't do it... I can't... *Sobs*
When you're in dire need of a tissue, and for whatever reason, you can't seem to find one. You look everywhere, search everything, and you can't seem to figure out where they might be. You know you left the box on the table forty minutes ago. Why isn't it there anymore?!
What's an interesting hobby of yours?
I'm always surfing the web A little too much.
Pickin up hot guys/chicks I love you. No wait, I love you... I love you too! Hey, where ya goin, sweetheart? Going to take a ride down the river of love? How about we share a swan boat?
Eating. I really love food. I'm not very picky, either. Yum.^^
People watching. People are quite interesting, after all.
I like listening in on conversations. I guess that's considered eavesdropping, but its fun anyway.^^
I really don't have time for myself. I'm always busy doing other things.
I like spending time relaxing in a natural environment.
Um... I don't... Know...
I love making people laugh. I love making people laugh, and entertaining them with fun jokes and amusing anecdotes. So a horse walked into a bar and...
*Smiles and laughs*
Last question, I promise. A frog fell into a hole that was 14 1/2 feet deep. He could jump 3 feet, but he slid back a foot each time he jumped. How many jumps does it take him to get out of the hole?
Hold on, let me work this out. Hmmmm Seven, I think. Yes, I'm pretty sure its seven.^^
Even though he jumps three feet, the frog advances two feet with every jump. So the seventh jump, which brings him from 12 feet to 15 feet, is the jump that will get him out of the hole, considering he's not going to slide back down the well on the last jump.
What kind of stupid question is that?!
Pffffft. Beats me.
I'm not much of a riddle person. Why don't you ask someone who enjoys those time wasting puzzle games?
Er... Wait... I can do this... I CAN do this... I know I can do this... I can't do this.
................................................................................I don't know.
Seven, assuming the beast isn't eaten by a snake on it's way out.

To say that the majority of us are going through a rough time financially is putting things mildly, and the need to find savings in our everyday shopping has become a necessity. While we all understand that we have to cut back on certain luxuries during tough times, that shouldn't mean that we can't treat ourselves to some new clothes every now and again. The tough part of clothes shopping is that there aren't that many stores where you can expect to pay a low price, yet still get quality items for your money. Old Navy has long been the gold standard for providing both of those things, and with clothes for the entire family, you can save a bundle while bundling up for the winter season.
Even though we know that we can expect low prices at Old navy whenever we visit, it's human nature to want to get a better deal than the one that's already on offer, and one way to do that is by tracking down Old Navy coupons. You'd think that a store that already offers such low prices wouldn't have a need to offer coupons, but it's not everyone who is aware of the saving there, and offering coupons is a great way to get people through the front door who may ordinarily have never taken the time to visit.
There are a bunch of places where you can potentially find Old navy coupons, and that usually starts in the store itself, or on their website. A great way to be notified of sales and coupons from Old navy is to go to their site and register for their newsletter. They generally don't send out more than 1 or 2 per week, and it's an excellent way to keep up with sales and specials that you may have missed. That's not the only place to check though, and your local Sunday newspaper is usually jam packed with flyers that are always worth taking the time to go through. This is especially true when the seasons are about to change and stores are either looking to sell off their clothes from the previous season, or kick start their sales for the new one.
Another excellent way to get Old Navy coupons is to sign up for e-mail newsletter from the mall where your nearest Old Navy store is located. The mall will send out regular e-mails about stores that are having specials, and will occasionally throw in coupons that can be used at any of the sores in their building.

mttert replied to Zeugma's topic in Writing SamplesI mean, I know this isn't going to be helpful, but you should go with the stronger piece. It's a tough question since, on one hand, I would lean towards a thesis excerpt because it also demonstrates that you can do sustained, independent research. On the other hand, I'd hesistate to give them the first 20 pages just because you usually don't get to the meat of your argument and really start showing off what you can do in the first 1/4 of your thesis. Also keep in mind that a "research bent" doesn't necessarily mean they're looking to see if you can cite and basically cover a state-of-the-field. It also means original thinking, close analysis, etc. (especially in the humanities, where they're usually not looking for a specific set of methodological skills). I would look back at your choices and look at which of the two best demonstrates your ability to think critically and articulate your ideas well rather than where the citations come from. You might also consider that if you have a 80 page document, you might pull 20 pages together out of it (e.g. a condensed portion of your introduction/reading review, a strong close reading, and a rejiggered conclusion to tie it together) that demonstrates both a depth of analysis and a breadth of skill.

September is National Childhood Obesity Month
Learn about ways to promote healthy growth in children and prevent obesity.
About 1 of every 5 (17%) children in the United States has obesity and certain groups of children are more affected than others. While there is no single or simple solution, National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month provides an opportunity for learning about ways to prevent and address this serious health concern.
Childhood obesity is a major public health problem.
- Children who have obesity are more likely to have obesity as adults. This can lead to lifelong physical and mental health problems, including diabetes and increased risk of certain cancers.
- Children who have obesity face more bullying and stigma.
- Childhood obesity is influenced by many factors. For some children and families factors include too much time spent in sedentary activities such as television viewing; a lack of bedtime routine leading to too little sleep; a lack of community places to get adequate physical activity; easy access to inexpensive, high calorie snacks and beverages; and/or a lack of access to affordable, healthier foods.
There are ways parents can help prevent obesity and support healthy growth in children.
- To help ensure that children have a healthy weight, energy balance is important. To achieve this balance, parents can make sure children get adequate sleep, follow recommendations on daily screen time, take part in regular physical activity, and eat the right amount of calories.
- Parents can substitute higher nutrient, lower calorie foods such as fruit and vegetables in place of foods with higher-calorie ingredients, such as added sugars and solid fats.
- Parents can serve children fruit and vegetables at meals and as snacks.
- Parents can ensure access to water as a no-calorie alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages.
- Parents can help children get the recommended amount of physical activity each day by encouraging them to participate in activities that are age-appropriate and enjoyable. There are a variety of age appropriate aerobic, muscle and bone-strengthening activities that kids can do.
Addressing obesity can start in the home, but also requires the support of communities.
- We can all take part in the effort to encourage more children to be physically active and eat a healthy diet.
- The federal government is currently helping low-income families get affordable, nutritious foods through programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and the Child and Adult Care Feeding Program (CACFP).
- State and local stakeholders including health departments, businesses, and community groups can help make it easier for families with children to find low-cost physical activity opportunities and buy healthy, affordable foods in their neighborhoods and community settings.
- Schools can help students' be healthy by putting into action policies and practices that support healthy eating, regular physical activity, and by providing opportunities for students to learn about and practice these behaviors.
- With more than 60% of US children younger than age 6 participating in some form of child care on a weekly basis, parents can engage with child care providers to support healthy habits at home and in child care settings.
Working together, states, communities, schools, child care providers, and parents can help make healthier food, beverages, and physical activity the easy choice for children and adolescents to help prevent childhood obesity.

MRM Metabolic Whey 100% Premium Whey Protein - French Vanilla - 5 lbs
Product Description
Metabolic Whey™ – 100% Premium Whey Protein
All Natural Whey™ is an all natural source of protein that was designed to meet the protein needs of all age groups and is number one in digestion, absorption, utilization and retention. This is achieved by using a combination of ultra filtered, low temperature processed whey protein concentrate and cross flow micro-filtrated whey protein isolate. All Natural Whey™ is also highly concentrated in essential amino acids (about 50%), half of which are "branched chain" (muscle preserving) amino acids (BCAAs). In fact, it is the richest natural source of BCAAs.
All Natural Whey™ can benefit those with a wide variety of health concerns ranging from the exceptionally healthy athlete to those trying to support lean muscle mass (e.g. children, teenagers, less active individuals as well as elderly). All Natural Whey™ is also fortified with L-Glutamine, which has been shown clinically to naturally stimulate the release of growth hormones and act as a building block for one of the body's most important water-soluble antioxidants, glutathione. Whey protein is nutritionally perfect, meaning it contains all of the essential and non-essential amino acids required by the human body.
The addition of Digest-ALL® AP helps break down long and short chain peptides into smaller, more readily absorbable amino acids for maximum digestion and absorption without the worry of wasting ingested protein. Digest-ALL® AP helps the body release more amino acids from ingested protein than the action of digestive enzymes alone. When an athlete takes All Natural Whey™ (enhanced with Digest-ALL® AP), the body can absorb more free amino acids directly into the muscle tissue, which helps to increase muscle size, strength and lean body mass.
Protein is made up of amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of your muscles and body. Your stomach begins to digest the proteins with hydrochloric acid that breaks them down into simpler forms (di and tri-peptides) making them easier to be absorbed. When proteins get absorbed into the bloodstream, they are sent to various parts of your body to perform various functions, including repairing and building muscle tissues, supporting your immune system, and transporting oxygen in your red blood cells.*
Having a sufficient amount of protein will put you in a positive nitrogen balance, or an anabolic state. Being in an anabolic state will allow you to build muscle, burn body fat and stay energized. On the contrast, if you have a negative nitrogen balance (inadequate and inconsistent protein intake) you risk being in a catabolic state (muscle breakdown). Your body will actually fuel itself by breaking down your hard earned muscle for energy. Consuming protein in each meal throughout the day will ensure you have an adequate supply of amino acids without consuming a surplus of calories. Further, you will be in an anabolic state (protein synthesis) all day long.
Protein needs differ from person to person. Individuals that exercise need more daily protein intake than those that do not exercise. The intensity of the exercise also dictates how much protein one needs to build lean muscle. Individuals with more lean muscle are known to have a faster metabolism, burn body fat more efficiently, have healthier bones and balance blood sugar and cravings extremely well.

When considering the range of creative activities Ms. Lezlie Harrison has embarked on, one could easily be reminded of the classical folk tale of the five blind men who have encountered an elephant and are asked to describe it. In the ancient story, each man, unaware of the totality of the animal describes the part of its body they have come in contact with. For one, feeling the beast's leg leads him to believe that an elephant is like a tree trunk, for another, holding its tail convinces him that an elephant is like a rope, the long smooth tusks tells yet another that the mammal resembles a plow, and on and on.Read more
Lezlie, sing it like you do,and they will all come home to you because real is really how you feel but even more because you cain't explain the pain that makes you feel good about getting rid of it. Keep pouring it out and maybe some of us will catch on, I think I just did. Love & P-funk hugs to you! - Bootsy Collins Bootsy!!!

For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: How's that global warming thing treating you?
Here in Northern California, it's 35 degrees this morning. On April 16! My pool is currently 55 degrees. Normally at this time of the year, it would be at least 70.
In fact, this will be the latest in the year we'll be able to go into our pool since we moved into this home in 1999. This normally occurs in March, but now seems possible to not happen until May.
How are things warming up where you live?

Teenager Lewis McCarthy produced the shock singles result of the season as he inflicted Jeff Cohen's fifth defeat of the campaign in division two of the Northern Powergrid York & District Table Tennis League.
It was the sole point for his RI 'F' side as they went down to leaders RI 'C'.
However, RI 'C' were shown no mercy by Dave Rawlings, of Bootham 'C', who only lost one game as he remained undefeated, assisting in a doubles success to gain an excellent draw.
Resurgent Shepherds 'B' thumped Bootham 'B' 8-2, Nathan Taylor and Andy Fletcher too good. The Tories responded with a similar score in their favour against Tramways thanks to Ady McClaren's fine performance, though Tramways then did well to gain parity with Shepherds 'A'.
Jonathan Chabry won his singles but received no support as RI 'D' crashed 7-3 at Shepherds 'C'.
Aidan Rantfler was in great form as he won all his singles for Holgate 'A' against second-placed RI 'A' in division one. Two of his successes were gained by winning the final game 11-9, but it was not enough to stop his side going down narrowly.
RI 'B' are close up in third after thumping University 'A' 8-2 as Filip Wojtkowiak only dropped one game, while the students were also beaten 7-3 by RI 'A', for whom Mick Wilcockson was unbeaten.
Coneysthorpe 'B' could only muster two players for their clash at Crescent 'B', but Chris Londesbrough maintained his fine season, helping his team to a draw.
Holgate 'C' have lost the lead in division three after they were held to a draw by University 'B', Tristan Curteis and Michael Holmes both claiming the scalp of Bob Young, who had previously lost only two singles all season.
However, Holgate 'C' did edge out BT 'A' 6-4, though Howard Broadbent shone for the losers.
Reigning champions Shepherds 'D' have gone top, having played a game more, after a whitewash of BT 'A', Chris Hutchinson, Paul Kozyra and Mick Surtees triumphant.
Lee Poulter and Rich Collyer led Bootham 'E' to an emphatic 9-1 success over relegation-threatened Aviva 'A'.
Youngster Matt Roberts excelled, but could not prevent his RI 'G' side going down narrowly to BT 'B'.
Thornton-le Clay continue to lead division four, and they whitewashed Bootham 'G' before Trevor Percival led them to a hard-earned 8-2 win over RI 'I'.
Alan Johnson won his singles as Shepherds 'E' defeated Bootham 'G' 7-3, although for the losers Jason Chinnian dismissed David Atkinson and he also beat Steve Webster in the final game in shock wins.
Aviva 'B' overcome a depleted RI 'J' 9-1, while Pete Waring saw Holgate 'E' to an 8-2 win over RI 'J'.

Excellent project management knowhow is the best foundation for excellent project results. In an ever more competitive and global business environment, successful projects and thus, successful project management, are getting increasingly critical for overall business success.
"The best project management tools – that's all we need to be successful with our projects." This is what we frequently hear in our project management seminars, workshops, or in coaching sessions. When asking the clarifying question "how do you define the term 'tools'?" we often get the answer: "Well, that's software, templates, and checklists, isn't it?"
We think that these things are definitely part of the picture. For successful projects we do need good project management software, templates, or checklists. On this web site, you will find some of them, or helpful links.
However, this is only part of a bigger picture. We ask and follow up on two key questions:
How can we find the right projects?
How can we do our projects right?
On this web site, we give our answers to these questions in form of a practical approach. It is a structured compilation of the project management knowhow we found in literature, in our own project management practice, and in countless discussions in project management trainings, seminars, workshops, consulting, or coaching sessions.
We follow the classical approach, take care of the second question first, and present our view of

Published: November 5, 2009 at 8:34 AMIt's interesting that the park doesn't contain one classic Universal attraction, like King Kong, Jaws or Earthquake. The revamped Kong section being added to USH could always be made to fit in the New York area as a standalone attraction. Otherwise I agree with your comment. It's missing an interactive dark ride, like MIB. But that doesn't stop me from checking the airfare to Singapore for next year :)
Published: November 5, 2009 at 10:11 AMI totally love this. Is it just me or does the Battlestar roller coaster look like a dueling B&M sitdown/floorless racing a B&M inverted coaster? How cool! Also, a new spin (no pun intended) on Jurassic Park! I think it's awesome they're making it a rapids ride.
When is this park slated to be opened? I might need to consider a trip to Singapore.
Published: November 5, 2009 at 10:11 AMOops, next year. I just saw that.
Published: November 5, 2009 at 10:50 AMHere's what we wrote earlier about the Madagascar and Shrek lands for the park.
Previous commenter is correct about Jaws/Kong/Earthquake. I'm curious to see how USH revives Kong, because these classics could use a fresh breath, to get people as excited about them again as folks are about other Universal attractions.
There's also cultural tastes in play, of course. I figured that's likely what kept The Simpsons out of the park, and the shoot-'em-up element of MIB might have doomed that, too. (That might also explain the lack of Jaws/Kong/Earthquake - just not the same cultural impact as the DreamWorks 'toons or the action franchises.)
Published: November 5, 2009 at 12:09 PMI would love to see a new King Kong attraction based on the Peter Jackson film. I still have the small 4D addition to the Studio Tour in USH to look forward to though.
But I'll hopefully check out USS sometime soon!
Published: November 5, 2009 at 1:10 PMLooks like a great park, except they have the Pteranodon coaster. unless they can deal with capacity, there's going to be a lot of angry tourists shouting "We came all the way to Singapore for THIS!?"
Wish I could afford to go
Published: November 5, 2009 at 6:47 PMI will now be in Singapore from 11 - 14 January on my way through to Europe from Australia. I think the park will not be opening until at least a week or two after those dates but if anyone can get me in, I'm happy to take photos and pass them on here as a report.

After Market, the 3-5 favorite ridden by Alex Solis, enhanced his reputation as one of America's outstanding horses on grass Sunday with a sparkling victory in the $400,000 Eddie Read Handicap (gr. IT) (VIDEO) at Del Mar.
The colt has back-to-back grade I wins in Southern California following his impressive victory Sunday.
Staked to a stalking position in third place in the early stages of the nine-furlong race over the turf course, After Market pounced on the pacesetters Out of Control and Rob Roy, taking command mid-stretch and drawing out impressively to win by 1 1/2 lengths.
"He just has a big kick and Alex can ask for it when he needs it," said winning trainer John Shirreffs, who registered his first victory in the Eddie Read. "He's just a big, lazy colt and when you ask him to run, he takes off. That's lazy in a good way. He always likes something to run at. It keeps him in the game."
Out of Control, the second choice in the betting at 2-1, held on well to be second, 3 3/4 lengths in front of Rob Roy, with Fast and Furious fourth and Atlando fifth and last in the small field. Valiant Effort, an entrymate of the winner, was withdrawn.
Pam and Martin Wygod's After Market, a royally-bred 4-year-old son of Storm Cat and the Wygods' stakes star Tranquility Lake (by Rahy), accomplished the distance in 1:47.36 and returned $3.40, $2.20, and $2.10. Out of Control, ridden by Michael Baze, paid $3.20 and $2.40. Rob Roy, David Flores aboard, was $2.60 to show.
The winner carried high weight of 120 pounds, five more than the runner-up and three more than Rob Roy, a group II winner in England last year.
Rob Roy set the fractions for the first half-mile -- :25 and :48 4/5 -- before Out of Control took over after six furlongs in 1:12 2/5. Out of Control led by two lengths in the stretch.
"He broke well, and I was just playing it by ear," Solis said of After Market. "The pace wasn't that fast, but I was sitting right behind in a good spot. Michael (Baze, on Out of Control) made a good move cutting the corner turning for home and got a good jump on us. But my horse is special. He'll do what you ask of him. I knew we were going to run him down. You can have that kind of confidence when you sit on a horse like this."
"I knew (After Market) would be coming, so I tried to make a quick move and get away from him," Baze said. "My horse has the speed, but the favorite is a finisher. I asked mine, and he was finishing great. But the other horse just finished better."
After Market earned $240,000 with his third consecutive stakes success and seventh in 11 starts overall. His earnings now total $703,685. On Hollywood Park's turf course this year, he won the Inglewood Handicap (gr. IIIT) and then upset Lava Man in the Charlie Whittingham Handicap (gr. IT).

BenQ W7000 Home Theater Projector Review
The images in this review are taken with the W7000 projector projecting onto a Stewart Studiotek 130 screen. That's only the beginning though:
The projected image -any shifts due to the camera, (a Canon 60D dSLR), a Mac laptop for cropping and resizing, etc, using Adobe Bridge and Photoshop, then saved "for web" (super compressed), and displayed with your graphics card, monitor, and browser all, further coloring the BenQ W7000 photos. In other words, they are useful only to a point, as colors are not going to be all that accurate. Rest assured, the BenQ W7000 will look far better in your darkened theater, than these images will ever look on your computer monitor.
With each review we find that the entire batch of images takes on a touch of coloration. We won't get into the "why that is" here, but in the case of the BenQ W7000 projector, overall, the finished images in this case seem to have taken on a slight yellowish cast to them, that was not exhibited by the W7000 projecting on to the screen. It really is rather slight, but, definitely is there when viewing on my MacBook Pro. You might spot that touch of yellow shift in the shadows of skin tones for example. I can see some of that color shift, just going from the raw image to the compressed jpg final.
BenQ W7000 Out of the Box Picture Quality
For an engineering sample, the User 1 mode (which Mike calibrated) actually looked rather decent, not great. Let's conjecture that full production W7000's will be even better, as BenQ has already confirmed they have improved the color tables on the newer firmware.
Update 2/27/12: The new W7000 with final firmware still only looks decent, right out of the box. I cannot say that the default color accuracy has improved. There's still a pretty impressive difference between calibrated, and "right out of the box". -art
With that in mind, the color right out of the box isn't bad, but, production software hopefully will be better, we noticed one issue in the color management, which BenQ advised has been corrected in the production firmware. (Update, that related to poor Cyan settings in the color management system. Those have been changed, but that had no real impact on out of the box color.)
Important note: Although we received a W7000 projector with the finished firmware, the vast majority of images in this review were taken, using the original engineering sample W7000, after it was calibrated. Exceptions are so noted.
We have not calibrated the new W7000 nor retaken any of the images not specific to black level performance, unless otherwise noted. There are a number of side by side images with the Epson 5010 scattered through the review. Most of those were taken using the uncalibrated new W7000. As a result, the color accuracy of those W7000 images is inferior to the originals, even though a calibrated, "new" W7000 will do better color than the calibrated engineering sampe. (Mike – our calibrator. is away for a month).
The new W7000, like the engineering sample, is not great "right out of the box", though a touch better. The W7000 is a projector, that to fully enjoy its performance, should be calibrated!
BenQ W7000 Projector - Flesh Tones
We consider skin (flesh) tones in terms of how they look after a basic grayscale calibration. (This is something you can do yourself with some calibration software.)
The BenQ W7000 projector calibrated extremely well. The skin tones the W7000 displays are rich and accurate, as one would expect from a very good DLP projector.
The W7000 certainly has that "DLP" look and feel, and the skin tones do look the part.
Our first two (above and below) as usual, are Gandalf and Arwen, from the Blu-ray version of Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King. Unlike most projectors, the BenQ does pick up the greenish caste caused by the scene being shot in a very lush, green forest.
Below are three James Bond images from Casino Royale. Each has a different lighting scenario, the first – full sunlight, the second image; indoor fluorescent, and finally, a nighttime photo. As one would expect, that causes each image of James Bond – Daniel Craig – to have different looking skin tones.
Of course there are more images showing skin tones throughout the review, but that concludes the sequence here.
Regarding Calibrating the W7000 Projector:
While the finished production W7000 is definitely better than the engineering sample, these side by side images below (W7000 vs. Epson 5010), show you the importance of getting the color right on the W7000. These side by side images are using the W7000 uncalibrated (left), and it is definitely off, compared to the same images elsewhere in the site, taken with the calibrated engineering sample. The calibrated Epson image gives a good reference of what the W7000's color should be, post calibration:
And, here again, is the same image as immediately above (Bond – plane), taken with the calibrated W7000 engineering sample:
As expected, any calibrated W7000 will look closer in terms of color, to another calibrated projector – be it an Epson, or anything else properly calibrated), than to, in this case, an uncalibrated W7000. Again, the heavy green on the uncalibrated W7000 is way over the top, but a calibrated W7000 looks just great!
In the two images below, the first is from the BenQ W7000, taken, uncalibrated, "right out of the box". In the second image, we dropped in the settings from the calibration of the engineering sample W7000. To my pleasant surprise, the full production W7000 took very nicely to the older color table. One exception. due to an anomoly Mike spotted with the sample projector, he felt forced to make some modifications to Cyan in the CMS. Well, the newer BenQ uses different defaults in the CMS, etc. Short of calibrating, I found very little difference, between the default Cyan on this full production one, and Cyan after adjustements on the sample. Bottom line, in observing the color, after applying our original calibration settings on the engineering sample to the full production W7000, the result looks really good. Thus, the settings we provide on the calibration page, should be a great start for those not prepared to hire a calibrator.
Here's a quick look at "out of the box" color on the final W7000, followed by the W7000 using the calibration settings (except CMS), from the sample W7000:

Wilson Ramos suffers head injury on Ruben Tejada's backswing
Rays catcher Wilson Ramos had to exit Monday night's game against the Orioles in the fifth inning after suffering a head injury. Ruben Tejada broke his bat on a ground out and the barrel hit Ramos in his helmet. Rich Dubroff reports that Ramos needed six staples to close a laceration on his head.
Ramos will continue to be evaluated under MLB's concussion protocol. He may wind up on the seven-day concussion disabled list.
Ramos, 29, entered Monday's action batting .222/.259/.426 with three home runs and 11 RBI in 59 plate appearances. He was 0-for-2 before being replaced by Jesus Sucre.
Video: Manny Machado and Jonathan Schoop turn a sweet 5-4-3 double play
Orioles third baseman Manny Machado and second baseman Jonathan Schoop teamed up to turn an impressive 5-4-3 double play in the bottom of the first inning of Monday night's game against the Rays.
Steven Souza, Jr. led off the frame with a single. Corey Dickerson struck out, bringing Evan Longoria to the dish. Longoria sharply grounded a 1-2 fastball from Kevin Gausman to Machado, who showcased his strong arm with a perfect feed to Schoop at the second base bag despite his momentum taking him towards into territory. Schoop made an off-balance throw to first to complete the twin-killing.
The Orioles took the lead in the top of the third when Adam Jones hit a solo home run off of Ian Snell.

Since about 1850, the U.S. coast has been hit by only three Category 5 storms. That's hardly enough to hazard when and where they will strike again. And yet, these destructive storms are precisely the ones it would be most useful to predict.
Practitioners of the new science of "paleotempestology" believe they have a solution. Written records may date back only 150 years, but the history of older and even ancient storms remains — buried underground, captured in ancient charcoal, hidden away in caves. The paleotempestologists' goal: to free this history, filling in the record of intense hurricanes and other major storms through thousands of years ago.
Paleotempestologists plumb the depths of Western Lake near Panama City, Fla., for "sediment cores." The layers of mud and sand found in each core give researchers an impression of the storm activity that washed sand ashore, indicating a likely hurricane that can be radiocarbon-dated. Cores from this site indicated three distinct sand layers, dating back to roughly 1,800, 1,400, and 1,300 years from today.
"It's the uncertainty that kills people, or concerns people," says Kam-biu Liu, a leader in the field and professor of oceanography and coastal sciences at Louisiana State University. "So paleotempestology, by extending the period of observation, can help us to better define and to reduce that uncertainty."
Liu made headlines early this spring when he announced that the Gulf Coast appeared to be in a thousand-year period of few Category 4 and Category 5 storms making landfall. Four sites along the coast from New Orleans to the Florida Panhandle had been hit only once by Category 4 or 5 storms in the current millennium, although they were blasted more often during the period between 3,800 and 1,000 years ago, Liu reported.
He drew his findings from perhaps the most mature of paleotempestology's emerging tools: sediments retrieved from coastal lake or marsh bottoms.
Captured in long tubes plunged deep into the muck, those sediments are composed of muck interspersed with layers of sand. Liu contends that the sand was deposited in major storms, when surge picked up the sand from the beach and dumped it into the lake or marsh. "If the storm surge is high enough, it would overtop the coastal sand barrier, and it would wash the sand into the bottom," Liu explains.
There are caveats. Some critics argue that the coast may have been different in the past. That could mean the study lake was far away from the ocean, and the sand deposited by, say, a river. Liu says examination of tiny fossils reveal the old sand contained the same organisms found near the beach today, suggesting the lake's setting was similar.
Regardless of how that argument plays out, paleotempestology is gathering momentum. Liu notes that scientists are mining corals, tree rings, and stalagmites for evidence of ancient hurricanes. All appear to contain a heavy oxygen isotope that is common in rain from large hurricanes but otherwise very rare, suggesting that the isotope may serve as a good indicator of past major storms, he says.
Between Texas and Maine, Liu adds, there are perhaps a dozen "paleoweather" stations — sites where researchers have sought to determine ancient hurricane activity. Many more are needed before paleotempestology becomes a useful predictive tool. "How accurate could our normal weather forecasting be if we had only a dozen weather stations along our entire coastline?" he asks. — Aaron Hoover

Ratings for Dr. Brian F. Marcus
Dr. Brian Marcus is Rude & Unprofessional!!!!
Dr Marcus is so kind and patient. My baby is six weeks old and has only seen Dr Marcus for all of his visits and my baby responds so well to his warm personality. I could not be any happier with this doctor and the whole practice! Highly reccommend!!!
We are very satisfied with this practice. The doctors are knowledgeable and the staff is courteous. They have almost always accommodated our sick visits within a couple of hours of the call. The nurseline is good as well. I would highly recommend this practice
I like the doctors at Healthy Kids. The one big minus is that after 8 pm emergencies are handled be the nurse on call at St. Peter's Hospital in New Brunswick. I don't mind speaking to a nurse with routine questions but I would much rather speak to a doctor especially with an infant or toddler having an emergency.
Extremely knowledgeable and thorough doctor. I recommend him to all of my friends with children. As others have said, he really takes the time to listen to any and all questions/concerns no matter how big or small. I appreciate that he never makes me feel rushed. During one of my child's illnesses, he even called to check on her the following day. Not many doctors do that sort of thing anymore, and the personal touch proves to me how much he truly loves what he does.
Dr. Marcus is excellent. He listens to all your concerns and responds with thought and knowledge. He is very calm and will take his time with you. I highly recommend this Dr. He has a lot of pacience which is a must as I always have questions. A lot of parents that I know go this practice. The staff is also very polite and attentive.
Dr. Marcus is wonderful as are all of the doctors in this group. Dr. Marcus is a good listener and very calm person, which my baby responds well to. He is patient about listening to all of my concerns and answering all of my questions. He was also very proactive in suggesting that we switch my daughter to hypoallergenic formula when she was young. She had a dairy sensitivity and had been suffering for weeks on regular formula. I appreciated that he pushed us to switch because it made all the difference for her and was not something we would have thought to do on our own. I really have only had good experiences with the East Windsor Pediatric Group.
Dr. Marcus has been great. We've brought our child (who is turning 1 soon) to him since his birth. He always asks if we have any questions and doesn't make us feel dumb like some doctors can make you feel. Dr. Marcus takes time with you which is great and he listens to you. I would recommend him if you are looking for a new doctor for your child.

I stayed for 5 nights at this hotel recently. The location is great with many restaurants bars and attractions within walking distance of the hotel. The room was very nice with free WIFI and flat screen tv in the room. The staff were very helpful, willing to help you and friendly like many Vietnamese people I met during my week long stay. I would recommend for all of the above and more
This hotel is located a thirty second walk from backpacker corner, so is well placed for entertainment and resaurants. I stayed in a third floor double room and had no noise problems. The room was quite large with a desk, small table and chairs, cupboard, room safe and LCD Tv. There was nothing fancy about the furnishing but everything was in good condition and worked well. The bathroom was a good size with a good layout. everthing was clean and tidy. The staff were pleasant and helpful. This is a budget hotel that is good value for money. I will be staying here on my next visit to Saigon
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
All in all a bad place to stay at. There are loads of other hotels in the area of the An An 2 that you could try. Our first 2 nights were spent in an ok looking room, but underneath the mattress was a whole other world. Waking up on the second day we both had (no joke) hundreds of bed bug bites. Checked the room and found a colony of bed bugs living in and around the bed as well as cockroach eggs, spiders and termites. We went to complain, but I don't think the receptionist really understood what we were saying uintil we showed her our bites. Had to push for a little bit of compensation and ended up getting a room upgrade which wasn';t really satifactory given the situation. The room are good, but in the 3 rooms we moved from and to none of the side lamps worked, mini bar fridge didn't work and the remote to the tele didn't work. Cheap enough hotel, but I'm sure you can get a cleaner hotel with working ammenities for the same price in the area. Receptionist was friendly, house keeping were rude.
Hope this helps.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
An An 2 was awesome as the people there were very nice and helpful. However, I could not get wifi connection from my room on the 8th floor. Overall, it was a great stay there.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Very helpful staff that can speak good English. The room was very clean and great working AC. The location was right in the heart of all the action in district 1. They do have a car service that can a little expensive but worth it if you come in to town after 5pm at the airport. I will be staying there again when I return to Saigon.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Hi Travellers,
My review is as follows:-
The hotel staffs service and hospitality is excellent. They can communicate well in English and on best effort to accomodate and help. This is rare and I wouldn't forget their sincere smile.
The bathroom, however, is small but clean. The bedroom is fine and equipped with cable TV services. There is a Travel Agent on the hotel basement as well. It is value for money, I would say.
There is a lot of souvenir shops and restaurants nearby the hotel (serving western food, mostly). Shucks .. I am Asian, I need to take rice.
That's not a problem, there are many Asian restaurants too.
As for Taxi, they operate 24 hours. Any time & any where.
Just wave your hands.
Will I come back again ?
Sure thing => (an answer without hestition).
Btw, I stay in Room 093 (from Aug 15 ~ Aug 17)
I am overawed by the value for money quality that I am getting out from this newly opened budget hotel. The friendliness of the receptionist and the good location is a pulling factor for this hotel. In addition, there is a tour agency at its basement for you to book some local tours at a reasonable price. Its 10min walking distance to the famous Ben Tham Market and Night Market. The few complaints that I have would be the slight river odor that most hotel would experience anyway. Fantastic place!

In another economic snapshot today, the Federal Reserve reports that consumers in May took on more debt for the eighth-straight month and boosted credit card use for only the second time in nearly three years.
Consumers also took out more loans for cars, vacations and education.
Overall borrowing rose $5.1 billion in May, increasing to a seasonally adjusted annual level of $2.43 trillion.
Here are the Fed's numbers, which the Associated Press interprets.

FX is an abbreviation for Foreign exchange margin trading and FX trading indicates "Foreign Exchange" or "Foreign exchange margin trading". The difference between the two is whether to use "margin" or not in trading, however, these words are recently used in the same meaning."FX trading" is generally well-known as the exchange rate of US dollars and/or Euros etc. comes on news. However, it differs from the securities market in the point of absence of exchange as a market and is used as a generic term for trading in which buying and selling parties or brokers execute transactions directly on a one-to-one basis.
Instruments traded in the foreign exchange market (like USD/JPY, for instance, ) are often represented as power gap between countries. However, movement to maintain a balance by means of multilateral trade not only for relation to US dollars as the key currency has appeared since European economic integration was established with emergence of European currency (EURO). From a different point of view, exchange rate is possibly the epitome in which the overview, history and economic status in each country intricately reflect. You may potentially be reflected in the large mirror of the world at a glimpse into the world of currency exchange.
Right from the first, exchange market is the market because of the need to exchange currency when making trades. It was around interbank trades at the beginning, but grew up in a passage of time to be the market not only for financial institutions but also for various participants including corporations and investment companies and as hedge fund annuities in these days. It is recently recognised as a market opened to public for asset management and it is not an exaggeration to say that the market size will continue its growth. "Foreign exchange margin trading (FX trading)" is open to anyone. We provide trading system which enables our customers to start trading with comfort.The Appeal of Forex Trading
Margin is funds which have the features like cash collateral that the holder of a financial instrument has to deposit to cover some or all of the credit risk of his/her counterparty. Therefore the total amount of transaction is not required on trade and the transaction gets completed only by passing profits and losses without cash.
The Foreign exchange market is one market built in global scale and you can always enter the market as it is running without stop as long as transaction is made somewhere in the world. In the foreign exchange market, transaction continues except Saturdays, Sundays and 1st January. Thus the foreign exchange market is available for 24 hours and traders can enter to make transaction at any time. *Please note that trades with "FX TROLL" are not available while the system maintenance time.
Swap Points (Swap interest rate) means the difference in interest rates between transaction currencies. If you buy high-interest currency and sell a low-interest currency, and roll over the positions on the next business day, you will receive the swap points. You will have to pay the swap points in the opposite case. *If the deal was completed during a day, swap point is not raised. *Swap points are variable in accordance with the market price.
