ever-changing landscape to understand
how these data sets compare and
can augment one another and 2) to
provide guidance to data users and
environmental managers to aid in
the application of these digital
data sets. The New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection, Division
of Science, Research and Technology
supported this study through a mini-grant
from the New Jersey Center for Environmental
Indicators, a collaboration of the

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
When did this occur?
yesterday afternoon
If it is still hurting this bad you most likely have, at the very least, a corneal abrasion. You may also have a corneal laceration and, with the history of contact lens use, you are at a much higher risk of a corneal ulcer forming.
Knowing that money is an issue for you right now I hate to say this.....but you really need to be examined by an ophthalmologist in the very near future.
By the way, how big is your dog?
shes a poodle
Ok...still large enough to do significant damage to your eye...
is there anything i can do right now to treat it temporarily until I can get money this week to see a doctor?
You can try cold compresses and preservative free natural tears to soothe the eye. However, if you have a corneal laceration or a corneal ulcer every moment you delay puts you at a much greater risk for significant loss of vision. Without seeing you I really can't tell how risky waiting is, but I've seen very nasty infections/damage that would have been easier to treat if therapy had started right away.
Where in the US are you?
new york city
I trained there. Lived on 15th and 6th in the village for a few years. There are a ton of places to be seen. You could go to NY Eye&Ear, Manhattan Eye and Ear or Cornell Univ hospital, to name just a few. They should see you even in you can't pay right now. You only have two eyes and it's nice to have them both working :)
Does this make sense to you?
ok. thank you. i will go right away tomorrow. i'm just in pain and a little worried :(
I know NY Eye and Ear will see you in the morning in the residents clinic even if you are totally broke. Best of luck
And, now, the obligatory word from our sponsors: :o)
I hope that this information was helpful for you. Please, allow me get credit for my time and effort in assisting you and press the ACCEPT button for this assist. I will be glad to answer additional questions until you are satisfied. Thank you very much. Positive Feedback and/or Bonus is welcomed and appreciated.
thank you
Best of luck and let me know if I can do anything else to help you. Have a good night.

Lockheed Martin's New Killer Laser Puts Israel's Iron Dome To Shame [Video]
Here's how it works: Imagine being shacked up with a handful of others at a Forward Operating Base, way, way into enemy territory beyond any immediate help, behind some makeshift stone walls and plywood. Some are sleeping, while others stand watch using night vision to leach signs of danger from dark. When the attack comes it starts with shoulder launched rockets but rather than just seeing the flash and yelling for cover, the troops are protected by Area Defense Anti-Munitions.
Reinforcing walls at Marines Forward Operating Base Reinforcement and the ADAM unit
Called ADAM, the small white trailer with the big laser takes its cue from radar blanketing the area three miles out. The radar has already kicked the laser awake when the guys on watch saw the flash. By the time they're diving for cover and warning their buddies, the ADAM has locked onto the rocket and is burning it out of the sky from over a mile away.
After keeping everyone from getting blown up, ADAM would then afford troops the time to coordinate their counter-attack where even more lives would be saved.
That's the idea anyway, though there would be countless other uses for the technology. The video below released by Lockheed yesterday shows the ADAM making short work of a tethered rocket from about a mile away.

1. It can destroy a rocket, but can it hit a rocket?
Hitting a target on a zip-line is easier than hitting a random incoming(!) object within fractions of a second.

5. That's not what I meant.
First, you have to measure the incoming object and to recognize it beyond a reasonable doubt as a missile (or else ADAM will be shooting birds left and right). This has to happen within fractions of a second.
Second, you have point the laser at the missile within fractions of a second.
AND if the missile is 30cm across and the distance is 1km, you have to do so with an accuracy of arctan(0,3/1000)=0,017°. (That's maybe feasible for absolute high-tech, but only after laborous calibration that can take hours to weeks, not when the setup just got shaken during its transport to the middle of nowhere.) AND you have to reach this accuracy again within fractions of a second.
Third, for a maximum of efficiency you have to focus your laser on the missile. To do that, you need its distance and you need it really quick.

6. We solved those problems decades ago
CIWS is a perfect example - it has been shooting down high speed missiles for 30 years. It is now used to shoot down rockets and mortar shells.
All they have done is replace a gun with a laser.

Jim Coleman Recipes
Senegalese Chicken Yassa
For this recipe you will need:
To prepare this recipe:
In a large glass bowl, prepare a marinade with the lemon juice, onions, salt, pepper, the 1/8 teaspoon minced chili and ¼ cup of the peanut oil. Place the chicken in the marinade, making sure they are all well covered, and allow them to marinate for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat the broiler. Remove the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade, and place them in a shallow roasting pan. Broil them until they are lightly browned on both sides. Remove the onions form the marinade. Cook them slowly in the remaining 1-tablespoon oil in a 3-quart casserole or Dutch oven until tender and translucent. Add the remaining marinade and heat through.
When the liquid is thoroughly heated, add the broiled chicken, the olives, carrots, mustard and 1/2 cup of stock. Stir to mix well, then bring the yassa slowly to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve hot over white rice.

A large group of "godless" George Washington dollar coins stamped without the traditional "In God We Trust" and "E Pluribus Unum" inscriptions made it into circulation and have been popping up on eBay.
Associated Press via cbsnews.com:
An unknown number of new George Washington dollar coins were mistakenly struck without their edge inscriptions, including "In God We Trust," and made it past inspectors and into circulation, the U.S. Mint said Wednesday.
The properly struck dollar coins, bearing the likeness of George Washington, are inscribed along the edge with "In God We Trust," "E Pluribus Unum" and the year and mint mark. They went into circulation Feb. 15.
The mint struck 300 million of the coins, which are golden in color and slightly larger and thicker than a quarter.
About half were made in Philadelphia and the rest in Denver. So far the mint has only received reports of error coins coming from Philadelphia, mint spokeswoman Becky Bailey said.

According to a new report, the 'Twilight' actress wants to sue Rivers after the comedienne suggests in her new book that she got movie roles after sleeping with directors.
Kristen Stewart reportedly has threatened to sue Joan Rivers after the "Fashion Police" star suggested in her new book that the actress landed roles in movies because she slept with directors. According to TMZ, Stewart's camp has contacted the comedian, threatening to sue her for defamation unless she removes the part.
Rivers' camp explains that the book is meant for laughs and it is stated in the prologue. A source close to the 81-year-old entertainer additionally tells the site that Stewart probably will not pursue the case because so far there is no more contact from her.
Earlier this month, an excerpt from Rivers' book "Diary of a Mad Diva" emerged online. In a part of the book, Rivers poked fun at Stewart's relationship with married director Rupert Sanders who worked with her in "Snow White and the Huntsman". "Many stars only do one thing well. Of course, the best one-trick pony is Kristen Stewart, who got a whole career by being able to juggle directors' balls," she wrote, as reported by Page Six.
In addition to Stewart, Rivers mentioned Paris Hilton and Angelina Jolie. "It's all over the news that Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy to prevent getting cancer. I think Paris Hilton should... step up to the plate and try to prevent STDs. It would be so easy for her. All she would have to do is have her knees fused together," she said in the book.

DHAKA – Bangladesh's war crimes court Thursday indicted a Bangladesh-born British Muslim leader and a U.S. citizen for their alleged role in the murder of top intellectuals during the country's 1971 liberation war.
Chowdhury Mueen-Uddin has held positions in a host of top Islamic organizations in his adopted homeland and was involved in the setting-up of the Muslim Council of Britain.
The London-based former journalist, who denies any wrongdoing, was a newspaper reporter in the impoverished South Asian country when what was then East Pakistan broke away from West Pakistan.
He is accused of being a leading member of the notorious Al-Badr militia and of the fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami political party, which fought for the country to remain part of Pakistan. Mueen-Uddin would face the death penalty if extradited and convicted.
The court on Thursday also indicted Ashrafuzzaman Khan, a United States citizen, on the same charges as Mueen-Uddin. Prosecutor Syed Haider Ali said that Khan, a Dhaka University student leader who is believed now to be in New York, was the "chief executor" for the Al-Badr militia.

Fashionably Pregnant
Celebrate Life with Fashion: Be Fashionable while Pregnant
When you're pregnant, you're expecting not only a lot of bodily changes, but also the birth and creation of a new life that's going to make your life much better. Given that this period is a celebration of life, the best way to show your joy over your coming baby and feel good about yourself amidst all the changes you are facing is to dress fashionably during this period. While you may begin feeling overwhelmed about where to shop and what to look for in order to look good, you can always start by knowing that while you're pregnant, it is possible to look good and fashionable. You may want to take to heart some of these tips in order to make pregnant fashion much easier for you!
Guideline number 1—Don't be afraid to go over some old clothes you may have hidden inside your closet. Everyone has at least one or two pieces a little bit oversized from their regular size, and the period before your full pregnancy size may be a good time to make use of these clothes in stock. This way, you will get more money out of the clothes you previously bought (and, take note, wanted to wear). Moreover, maternity clothes tend to be more expensive, and the early stages of your pregnancy will require transition pieces that will no longer be useful once you've grown to your full shape and size. Your a bit oversized clothes snuck away in your closet will be great for this transition period!
When you don't fit in any of your clothes, however, be willing to get yourself some maternity clothes—one time or another you're going to have to make that purchase anyway. Best to not spend a part of your pregnancy uncomfortable in too-small clothes and get very little utility out of the maternity clothes you're bound to get soon anyway.
Guideline number 2—There are a variety of dress cuts and lines that are most recommended as fashionable for women during their period pregnancy because they enhance the pregnant shape without the feel of bulkiness. You can opt for A-line or empress cuts for your dresses and tops. These dresses allow for you to show of some shoulders and upper body shape, while giving your belly comfortable room.
Guideline number 3—Embrace your curves! As many stars are beginning to show off their pregnant bodies, it's beginning to become more fashionable to show off some skin, and even show off that belly occupied by your bundle of joy! Clothes that cling to the skin are also very much in vogue today because they best show that very much celebrated pregnancy fullness that you have. These trends give you a huge variety of fashionable options—from hanging tops, bandeaus, and even tube tops!
Guideline number 4—When in a store that specializes maternity clothing, remember that maternity clothes sizes are identified by the regular body sizes. This translates to the fact that when in a shop, make sure you get the same size that you would normally purchase should you not have been pregnant.
Guideline number 5—Now that you know the huge variety of clothes types and cuts that are increasingly becoming trendy with pregnant women, the best step now is to try to mix and match your clothes. Because pregnancy is not a permanent state and maternity clothes cost a tad bit more than your regular ones, it is possible that you will not see it practical to store up a huge variety of clothes. Therefore, to avoid wearing the same things over and over again, mix and match various tops and bottoms, and use tried and tested color combinations that will help your clothes work well together.
Guideline number 6—The last important thing to remember in pregnant fashion is to not be afraid to accessorize! That's right—you shouldn't be afraid to glam up once in a while even if you are pregnant. Remember, accessories can give even the most ordinary outfit the polished and sophisticated, or fun and flirty appeal, that you may want to sport during your pregnancy. Don't be afraid to have fun with accessories, and similarly, use them in order to express your personality should the pregnancy clothes not fully encapsulate it.

Miss Kansas pushes idea of beauty — with tattoo, rifle, parachute and combat boots
Hey, Kansas, your beauty queen wears combat boots!
And has big tattoos, too.
As an active member of the military, Miss Kansas, Theresa Vail — ahem, Army National Guard Sgt. Vail — may just have a slightly different take on world peace than the typical Miss America pageant contestant.
The slender blonde is an expert marksman who apparently knows her way around an M-16. She raced motorcycles as a teen until she broke her fingers. She is fluent in Chinese (she has a 3.8 GPA at Kansas State University) and likes to skydive and bow-hunt for deer. She's working on a hunting series in production for the Outdoor Channel. (She will be the host.)
While her Miss America profile head shot has her looking like a supermodel, decked out in a hot-pink outfit, fluffed hair and dangle earrings, other promo websites feature photos of her in full camouflage garb sporting a hunting rifle, bow and arrow, even posing with her prey (a deer, a fox).
But Vail is among only a handful of Miss America Pageant contestants to have military credentials. She is a dental technician with a National Guard medical unit based out of Kansas. Five pageant women since 1992 have been active-duty military, and Miss Utah 2007, Jill Stevens, was the first to work in a combat zone.
Also, Vail, 22, competing this week in the 2014 Miss America Pageant, is the first contestant ever to sport visible tattoos. Sure, other contestants have had tattoos — tiny, hidden ones, according to pageant officials.
But Vail's big, bold tat, of the Serenity Prayer, flanks her entire right midriff. She also sports the insignia of the Army Dental Corps on her left shoulder. The university senior aspires to be an Army dentist.
"No one expects a soldier to be a beauty queen. Right now, everyone thinks of Miss America as this girl on a pedestal, and I want her to come down from that. She is just a normal girl," Vail said in a recent interview with a newspaper in Kansas.
So there it was, the big tattoo, when she competed Sept. 10 in the swimsuit portion of the three-night preliminary competition. She didn't win, wearing a bright-red bikini and the tattoo, done in scrolly vintage lettering.
But she apparently scored one for the atypical beauty queen crowd.
With no beauty contest experience, Vail entered her first pageant just nine months ago and became Miss Leavenworth County before winning Miss Kansas in June. Her pageant platform is "Empowering Women: Overcoming Stereotypes and Breaking Barriers."
It's a subject Vail — who says she was bullied and teased through school — holds dear, hoping to inspire other young women to be whatever they choose.
Even for Sept. 14's much-anticipated "Show Us Your Shoes" Parade — an all-out glittery spectacle where the contestants get to show off their flashy side — Vail is opting to wear her camouflage Army uniform and combat boots instead of the de rigueur five-inch heels and evening gowns being worn by most of the other women.
The next night, Sept. 15, the Miss America Pageant will be televised live beginning at 9 p.m. on ABC.
"I think Miss Kansas' participation in the pageant," said Sharon Pearce, president of the Miss America Organization, "shows us the diverse women that are involved in the competition."

7.85" iPad Mini to Use iPhone 3GS Screen Tech

Apple can produce this type of screen efficiently and affordably
iPad Mini
may be one of Apple's main upcoming gadgets this year, but its display technology is a blast from the past with iPhone 3GS features.
According to
Daring Fireball's
John Gruber, the iPad Mini will have a 7.85-inch display with a 1024x768 pixel resolution. This is dramatically different from the
new iPad's 9.7-inch screen with 2048x1536 Retina Display
Gruber also mentioned that the mini version will use the same display technology as the iPhone 3GS. He came to this conclusion because Apple can produce this type of screen efficiently and affordably.
"Here's the logic behind such a display," said Gruber. "Displays aren't manufactured at their finished size; rather, they're made on big sheets, and then cut to size. I believe the iPad Mini (or whatever it's going to be called) uses the same display as the iPhone 3GS. So instead of cutting these sheets into 3.5-inch 480 × 320 displays for the iPhone 3GS, they'll cut them into 7.85-inch 1024 × 768 displays for the smaller iPad. Same exact display technology, though — display technology that Apple has been producing at scale ever since the original iPhone five years ago."
The iPad Mini is meant to help Apple compete with the likes of Amazon's Kindle Fire, which is a 7-inch Android-powered tablet that was released last November for only $199. The Fire ended up being a smash hit during the holiday season, where
Amazon moved 4.7 million units
during Q4 2011. This is nearly a third of Apple's iPad volume during that same period, which moved 15.4 million units. Apple needs to stay on its toes when it comes to Amazon's Fire competitor, because
a new Kindle Fire
is reportedly on the way as soon as this month, and it's expected to have more features like exterior volume controls and a camera.
Amazon isn't the only competitor to keep an eye on, though. Google just started taking orders for its
7-inch Nexus Tablet
which will be the first to feature Google's Android 4.1 Jelly Bean mobile operating system. The other specs include a 1.3 GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor, a GeForce 12-core graphics processor, 1 GB of RAM and a resolution of 1280x800. The 8 GB model will sell for $199.
Microsoft's latest Surface tablet
announcement isn't exactly in the $199, 7-inch category, it should still be a noted Apple competitor. The new Surface tablets will be 10.6 inches with
a 3 mm fold-out keyboard that doubles as a case, and a thin 9.3 mm frame. It comes in two different versions, including
the Windows RT model with a Tegra 3 processor and 32/64 GB SSD options, and the Windows 8 Pro model with Intel Corp's Core i5 Ivy Bridge processors and 64/128 GB SSD options.

Amanda Bynes In 1996 At 10 Years Old Doing Stand Up Comedy At The Laugh Factory! [Video]
As introduced by 90's comedy king Arsenio Hall at the world-famous Laugh Factory Comedy Camp, Here's Amanda Bynes in 1996 at 10 years old, or as she was known back then Amanda BURNS. The funny thing is she talks about getting in trouble with her parents, although now she's dealing with much higher authorities than them. Watch and laugh at her cuteness back then, or weep at how far she's fallen since.

Submitted by Mike on 8/14/99. ( firstname.lastname@example.com ) 22.214.171.124
At a deer show, I saw a primitive flat bow which was backed with the skin off of a sturgeon fish. ("Backed" is where the skin is glued to the bow limbs for added strength and beauty.) It was very impressive, and I would like to try this. This procedure is often done with snake skins which, I have read, are best when air dried. I guess it has something to do with more complete adhesion of the skin to the bow. My question is where can I find instructions on preparing the fish skin in a similar manner? Or if this isn't practical with fish skin, what other method would be? I have some tanning experience with deer hides using at home kits, but could use some direction concerning fish skin, as with that I have no experience. Thanks for any replies.

A Gift That Had 'Uncle' Written All Over It: 2 Pound Rice Krispies Treats!
Diane and I knew we'd see my niece and nephew this weekend. How could we top the "World's Biggest Gummi Worm and Gummi Bear" we showed up with last time? It wasn't easy, but I think we pulled it off.
What could we get Sara and Sal that they would love and be something only an aunt and uncle could show up with? Easy, two 2 pound Rice Krispies Treats! That's right, 4 total pounds of sheer happiness! You had to see their faces. The first thing they did was look over at their Mom with that "is this ok" look. Once they got the ok, they dug in!
I was hoping my sister didn't try to open it up and cut little pieces with a knife. What fun would that be?? You have to take a bite out of a two pound Rice Krispies Treat when you get a chance! And that's exactly what happened!
Great memories and great fun for Mother's Day weekend. Hope you had a great one, too!

Allegheny County executive reveals 'vision team' recommendations
Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald on Thursday released a 710-page advisory report with more than 300 wide-ranging proposals to improve county government and life for residents.
Some he's doing. Some he won't do, he said.
A year ago, Fitzgerald formed a dozen volunteer committees to brainstorm about county government, economic development, transportation, public health and safety. Almost 300 civic and business leaders contributed.
"Some (proposals) I probably won't do. Some I might disagree with," he said at a Downtown news conference.
For example, Fitzgerald said he opposes a recommendation for a ballot referendum to institute a dedicated county tax for parks and trails.
Fitzgerald did not say which ideas he might pursue. He said he and County Manager William McKain would talk with department and authority heads.
Fitzgerald moved aggressively during his first 14 months in office to change county departments and agencies. He orchestrated ousters of the late Dr. Bruce Dixon as health department director, Steve Bland as Port Authority's transit chief and Brad Penrod as Allegheny County Airport Authority CEO.
"I don't understand the motivation of Fitzgerald, especially as a past president of County Council. He should know the issues and have plenty of ideas," said Robert P. Strauss, professor of economics and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University.
Among recommendations Fitzgerald supports: The report said the county should work with neighboring ones to create a regional transit authority.
"I think it would eliminate a lot of duplication of services," Fitzgerald said, noting Gov. Tom Corbett's plan to boost transportation funding by $1.8 billion a year would require agencies to study consolidation and implement cost-saving measures or expect less state funding.
Fitzgerald said he supports looking for ways to reduce or eliminate property taxes, replacing them with another source of money. One option could be expanding the state sales tax to some exempted goods and services, the report said, noting Pennsylvania is the only state that doesn't tax non-cigarette tobacco products. Another option could be imposing a personal income tax, within Allegheny County or regionally, the report said.
The transit and property tax proposals would require legislative support in Harrisburg, Fitzgerald said.
"We have already implemented many of these initiatives," Fitzgerald said, citing as examples a deal to allow natural gas drilling at Pittsburgh International Airport and to create a county facilities department.

New trend alert: Cuticle tattoos
Fuzzy polish. Gel manis. Magnetic polish. Nail strips. Online tutorials breaking down the secrets of trendy nail art designs from colorblocking to ombre and everything in between.
Just when we thought we'd seen it all, a company called Rad Nails has carefully reached its proverbial (manicured?) hand into the bag and pulled out one more:
Cuticle tattoos!
I'm intrigued. At $6 a pack, they appear to work a lot like those cool fake cartoon character tats we used to pile on when we were younger. Peel off the paper backing, place on the skin (or nail) and dab on some water to transfer the image.
Except that, instead of Mickey or dragons or cutesy roses, Rad Nails tats come in edgy geometric shapes. They cut down greatly on the time commitment and error margin associated with other nail art tricks I've unsuccessfully attempted lately.
And perhaps the best part is that they're a great alternative for the faint-hearted. Unlike permanent tats, haphazard application during a drunken stupor requires only soap, water and perhaps a bit of rubbing alcohol -- no expensive, painful sit-down in a laser-removal chair needed.
With that said, I'm thinking I'll give this new trend a try. What say you, folks: Fug or fab?

Pan Pacific Singapore
7 Raffles Boulevard, Marina Square, Singapore
0.1 mi from
Everything seems more spacious than most of the hotels I have stayed in, giving guests an added sense of relaxation The officer who handed my check-in did not seem to know what she was doing. My guess is that she was new at the job. An apology would go a long way then but none was offered
Breakfast buffets and service Only complaint I have is that the temperature in the lobby bar is too cold to enjoy the wonderful ambiance that exists in that venue.
Everything, it is a very nice hotel!
Helpful staff
I stayed at 1326 and with the view of city lights. Lovely at night and in the morning, view of the pool. The bar is not as good as others that I have experience, no change for last few years. Below standard of Pan Pac
The ambiance is nice and the service is splendid Swimming pool. Should design to cater for children
i didn like the location
The staff were curteous and very helpful. They were particularly helpful when we needed information on locations and phone numbers. We did not have to look for the information ourself. It's location is also perfect for those attending conventions at suntec. Great shopping options within the area without having to go to orchard. There was one day where there was a 'sewer' smell that seemed to pervade the building. I'm not quite sure what the reason behind this was.
the central location, the nice room and the view
Clean and comfortable. 20 minutes from the Airport. Step out the door of the Hotel into the Mall. Nice place. The fridge only had water and gatorade, no soft drinks, beer or snacks. Go to 7-11 in the Mall, half the price too. Music until about midnight can be heard. We were on the 11th floor.
The hotel is well located, with convenient access to the shopping and business district. The breakfast buffet was reasonable - it was basic, and provided sufficient choice...but I didn't look forward to it. I think that captures my view of the Pan Pacific - it served its purpose well, and that was it. Apart from the size of the hotel, and the quality of service from the staff, the rest of the hotel was rather like a Four Star hotel.
The hotel is ideally located for both shopping and sightseeing and is easy to reach from Changi airport using the MRT link. The hotel was over priced and the exeuctive lounge didn't open for breakfast particularly early.
convenient location, considerate service the price is a little bit higher.
harbour view no toothbrush and toothpaste provide until i ask for them
-Excellent gym - relaxing pool area with restaurant - bed was comfortable and the linen was crisp and clean - Room was large and nice but felt dated - At checkin, the clerk attempted to up-sell the breakfast and Internet package for $100 per night. Internet should be included in the price I paid, especially as I chose this hotel based on that.
I think it is the only hotel in the world where you have to pay for use of the gym!! really ridiculous, 25 USD!!!
Bfast at Prego The room was a bit damp and floor lamp is switching on/off by itself (annoying during the eve)
View from our room Several problems with facilities in our room - running toilet, bar frig did not work (both fixed before departure) in room safe broken and not fixed before departure. Club room not ready when we arrived, this was OK as we arrived early but we were only given access to standard hospitality room and not club lounge facilities.
Hotel staff was wery friendly 1. Mini-bar was empty 2. Because of the club on the first floor there were too much people near the entrance, some of them were really drunk.... that was not nice
Loved the location - perfect to walk everywhere and a shopping complex underneath meant everything was easy. Travelling with a 1 year old this was a great benefit for us. We were even offered a room upgrade for a very small extra fee (about £20 a night before tax) so took it and it was well worth it! Can't complain about anything - loved our stay there.
Been staying here for years - clean, convenient, comfortable Always too expensive - hotels in Singapore are too expensive
The attentiveness of the staff and the welcome one receives on arrival.
Still the one of best in singapore Room, view, art display, staff...
The friendly service of all the staff.
The hotel staff were very attentive. Their club lounge is the best one that we have been too, really worth booking the room for the perks.
The location, and very pleasant staff
Very nice view arround Marina Area and room "51 square meters" dimendions are most impressive indeed. Also their services have been not known as "Ritz-Carlton" for nothing. Actual total charge for hotel accommodation was been slightly different.
bathroom views the airport pick up didnt work, and the booking .com reservation was not available to ritz carlton on arrival
All the staff was perfect and a 5 stars service. I got a room close to the elevators, it was a bit annoying during the night.
The location is so good. Staff is so helpful, courteous and sensitive. For example, when we asked the staff about the dinner firstly they warned us that the food of the hotel was not halal (islamic) although we didn't mean that.They provide everything in a hotel room that you might need.
they had an event at the pool saturday night and the entire sunday the pool was closed. reason: glass breakage... which is legitimate.. but only a reason to max close the pool until noon and have it back in safe and clean condition for aster lunch.
1st class Hotel with extremely freindly and helpfull staff.Perfectly positioned for everything Singapore has to offer. Loved the experience and will certainly use this hotel again. Could not find fault with anything. Excelent!
clean, good food at restaurants,friendly staff,pool area, room of big size,staff are friendly to my children, close to shopping malls and other points of interest
the room is spacious no
We stayed in the club room on top floor, it was lovely - had all the facilities we'd expect as well as an amazing view of marina bay incl the new marina bay sands hotel. Enjoyed the cocktail and canape hour too and private dining for breakfast. Would def stay here again. Probably couldn't afford to stay here for too long, as its quite expensive, but worth it for one night of luxury.
An amazing 5 star hotel with attentive staff always willing to help. A fab chocolate sweet feast on fridays and saturdays not to be missed. Although the pool unavailable they had ensured that the pan pacific pool could be used.
Great staff and very accommodating. Had a very nice stay. Good breakfast and close to good restaurants abs tons of shopping.
Convienient , good location and excellent views from windows . Efficient staff .Excellent breakfast for all tastes . Lifts efficient ,no waiting .Underground shopping mall attatched for quick shopping very convienient . No complaints
We arrive at 6 30 am,after a night flight ,many hours before the official check in time , the receptionist gave us immediatly a temporary room so we could change and take a shower, until our room get ready.
I was working at the Suntec Convention Centre,so location was primary.Hotel is next to the centre,hence very good. Breakfast was overpriced,and not to my taste
Excellent No
Wonderful spacious room with king size bed, large marble bathroom with double sinks, tub and separate shower. every morning our we ate at the breakfast buffet, an array of English, Chinese, Japanese and Singaporean favorites, including a personal chef for eggs, an ice cream machine, and plenty of cappuccino or espresso too. Attached to a large shopping mall, and close to the MRT (subway). Nothing, a better value than the Ritz.
Room had great view of city was clean but had to request to move rooms because the first room smelled stale of moldy cigarettes. We were then moved to non smoking and it was worth the inconvenience although the view was less interesting. Staff was aware of stale smell and did help accommodate. Nice bathrooms. Overall architecturally interesting late 80's hotel... Will not return. I am asthmatic so right when we settled in I couldn't stop noticing the stale smell. We also had just landed in SG so tried to check in 30 minutes early and our reservation did not show up until 2 pm. The staff was not the most attentive and the hostess held on to my phone for about 10 minutes.
staff were helpfull and friendly,the cost of drinks during happy hour from 5pm to 9pm were cheaper than outside bars and overall the hotel was good nothing
Only the breakfast Dark hotel, slow service/checkin, old hotel, outdated rooms in poor condition, noicy hotel due to the design of the hotel with. Music from the loby goes straight to the 11th floor inside the room! Old bathrooms.... In short a BAD experience
Excellent location, City Hall MRT is right next to the hotel, and is within walking distance to the CBD and interesting night spots. Very well connected by underground links and malls to the main shopping areas. Very nice rooms, and the executive floors are nicely self contained, with its own gym and restaurant.
The size and comfort of the room, the friendliness of the staff and excellent service. It was in a great location. The swimming pool area and spa were very good.
Great location, very large rooms and excellent value!!
Excellent rooms, comfortable beds, good view and friendly and helpful staff I have no complaints about the hotel.
Convenient for airport, city transport, restaurants, some sights, and good shopping mall. Comfortable bed and spacious room. Friendly helpful staff, from doormen and cleaners to senior staff. We had stayed at the hotel before and Drinks in bar were a bit expensive in comparison with those elsewhere.
the staff was extraordinary! The rooms and breakfast were top notch.
Too many "sorry" replies instead of solutions for numerous issues encountered during the stay. 5 star hotel brand delivering to 3- or 4- star service levels. I rave about the Fairmont Vancouver airport; Singapore Fairmont doesn't come close to meeting the perceived brand value.
I chose this hotel due to its reputation and location, centrally sited for everything and not too far to walk and as it was extremely humid whilst there. Fairmont hotels epitomise luxury and I doubt you would be disappointed. The hotel can be reached from the aiport by the MRT for $2, shuttle bus for $9 or taxi for $25 . Either choice will be quick and easy. The rooms are spacious and have all you would expect for your comfort and convenience. The hotel stands above a shopping mall, Raffles City, which is thankfully air conditioned and has a vast amount of shops and eating choices. All the staff I met were courteous and helpful. There are 2 outdoor pools and a large sun terrace as well as a fitness centre and spa. Nothing negative.
Nice environment and conveniently linked to MRT and shopping centre.
I stayed in the north tower. The room was huge, nicely decorated, clean and a had great view. The hopper bus line had a pick up which was just steps away from the front door Too much air freshener in the lobby, $54 buffet breakfast and not as close as suggested to the shopping on Orchard road.
They always make me feel welcome every time I stay at the Hotel The rooms and the corridors in the north Tower need a little bit of a paint touch up.
Friendly welcome, spacious room, good location and quiet room at night for comfortable sleeping. Prompt service to fix minor fault with motorised draw curtains. Some furnishings showing wear and tear for this class of hotel and need upgrading. No free hotel internet computer (only hotel on our entire 3 week trip). I did have a major complaint but this will be taken up directly with the hotel not here but explains my selecting No to the following question.
the central location and impressive foyer and facilities
very clean, good staff service breakfast should be included not as an added extra charge
staff were wonderful no real relaxing area;except foyer
The location was nice because near business area and shopping area. Some staffs no have mind serviced and their toilet is so small.
Location. Price could have been a bit lower and an affiliation with a major hotel chain in order to get points.
lobby, room they should have more towels in the room
Great service and up to date facilities Breakfast was ok but not as fresh SSI would have expected
Convenience to get to the place in town within minutes
friendly staff evening entertainment is to loud and only the locals like it.
The stay with hotel was good. As u enter the lobby of the Hotel, u feel at home, Rooms are comfortable too.. The bathrooms really did not give the rich feeling of a 4 star hotel, and were not very impressive, especially the bathtub area.
The staff are really polite and is always there to give you a smile The room is old and the bathroom is dirty
The staff were nothing short of exceptional - the best I've ever experienced. Lack of in-room wireless internet connectivity.
Easy use of the club lounge. sound isulation.
The hotel is very friendly!! The hotel and rooms are superbly appointed. The staff is very friendly and is always there to help. This is the best Intercontinental brand I have stayed at around the world. And I have stayed at some nice ones in other countries. Try the Cub Lounge. It is worth every penny of the extra cost. Very good way to unwind, eat, have a cocktail, without having to spend Singapore prices. The Club team is very helpful and will make your stay even more Pleasantville. Nil
Perfect location, size of the room, cleaniness and the tempreture control of the air-conditioning is very efficient and easy to operate Swimming pool is small in relative term when compared to Stamford, Conrad and Ritz Carlton in Singapore
The service by the hotel staff was impeccable. Amonf the best hotel experiences I have had anywhere. The fitness center was very good, but not up to the standard of other Intercontinental Hotels I have visited.
No free WiFi , the decorate getting specially floor , carpet and bathroom .
room was very comfortable, the gym friendly and good pool. long time to get case to room on arrival. seems this is often the case in hotels. in future will carry case to room.
Central location
Location is great! Breakfast buffet is fabulous! Overall value is reasonable! The facility seems old, but it doesn't look bad. Pool is small, but it was ok for kids.
Friendly staff and nice ambience I stayed on the 4th floor where there was a little garden. I noticed ants crawling into my room from there. This is unacceptable.
They were able to relocate me to another room when I requested. The original was too noisy as it overlooked Bugis market. Very comfortable bed and wonderful sheets. Gym sightly disappointing. Would have liked the option of scheduled exercises classes like the hotel I stayed in in Hanoi.
the scale of the room is good there isn't
great location, terrific swimming pool area. the staff seem to be learning on the job. We have to made the same request over and over again and nothing seems to register. For example, we book two rooms, one for our friend is paying for the airport limo transfer. I wrote before arriving that our friend who is staying on the club floor is paying for both trip to and from the airport. When we arrived at the hotel, we tell the concierge the same thing. At check out, the bill is still wrong and this is just one of many examples and we only stayed there for one night!!!
ease of access to business areas. the food was also very good
The staff was superb in every respect; the food deliscious and the spa was marvelous. A great place to celebrate a special event. Only that we could not stay longer.
The staff are amazing. Cannot do enough to help. Usually addressing us by name (even the porters picked up our name from luggage tags). Waiter changed our dinner order after he noticed us appreciating the dessert at a nearby table, Nothing was too much trouble for any of them. Room perfect, club lounge comfort and food also wonderful. Just cannot say enough how much we loved it. Just there for 2 night stop over but going back for a week's holiday. Almost forgot about the great massage! Heaven.
It s a business hotel.I stayed one night (Sat/Sun) at a very favorable weekend rate. Superb suite. Pity I couldn't enjoy the luxury longer. Breakfast on Sundays is a disaster. Buffet is very spread out i.e. long ways from one station to another, it is overcrowded (many Singaporeans stay just for this weekend night), long queues everywhere. Singaporeans are very inconsiderate and just elbow you out of the way. 44 S$++ is a bit high for this breakfast which is very average . When I remarked that I do not appreciate breakfast in a 'school canteen' set up, the matter was dealt with without hesitation. It was a very nice gesture. No complaint as my complaint 'breakfast' was dealt with to my satisfaction.
The service was amazing! N/A
excellent service, first-class facilities
the service was excelent the rooms are somehow aging,
Service is excellent. Staff is very polite with high responsibility of they duties to be performed in time and in excellent way!!! Breakfast is very nice organized! There is no Café downstairs: first floor or somwhere near Reception area...
The door satff are excellent and the receptionist Sharon was very good indeed. There are no smoking facilities in the hotel. It's a nice hotel but not great.
The food is terrible. It was wasting money.
The restaurants are all top notch. Pool is lovely and large. Sport facility nicely equipted. Pool bar fantastic meeting place for business or personal. Spa treatments excellent, but facilities not up to rest of hotel standard The green in front of the hotel belongs ot the military. They woke me up at 6:30 am doing their exercises. Very irritating. Check before booking a bay side room if there are military exercises planned
The staff were without exception went out of their way to help us make the most of our short break. The hotel facilities themselves were everything we could have wanted. The bed was a little hard for us but that is a personal preference thing.
The staff were friendly and approachable, room service was excellent.
staff were very nice and went out of their way to please us (except manager) our room was not reserved, we checked in just after 3pm (check in started at 2pm) and had requested a king bed - none were available and was offered a twin room, had to stress we wanted a king before one was found for us
location, business meeting
I'm very impressed with the receptionist attitude and service. I think the housekeeping is a little disturbing as they are persistant in asking when can they make up the room.
Plleasant atmosphere, great location. No
i like the service of your hotel that taking to the hptel room. i have bing to so many hotel in singapore or out side singapore this kind of service that i have in your hotel keep it up good jod. thank u
The staff were very courteous and helpful. The room facilities were good and clean. My room was at 726, right at the corner. The door does not close well and I have to pay special attention to close the door properly. This is the case for the bathroom door too.
my wife was injured before her arrival and the staff rsponded with great care and understanding
The staff seemed very friendly.This place wasn't the 5 star we thought it would be but then again we were in the base price room.Thank you. No not really.
Conrad truly lives up to it's name in this location. The hotel is extremely well maintained, the staff is attentive courteous and ready to help, and the amenities more than sufficient for a hotel that caters mostly to business (we were there for leisure). Rooms are spacious (for Asian standards), clean and could find nothing non-functional or a bit off. Hotel provides 2 small bottles of water daily - also available upon request - which is great for taking with you. Towels are plush and the bed linens are veeerrryyy comfortable. There is no external noise in the rooms - not that Singapore is a noisy city like NYC. Even numbered rooms have a slightly better view (of the Sands and Gardens but at an angle) but odd numbered rooms have the fountain view - not bad either. Cannot go wrong with this hotel choice. Nothing not to like really. Conrad Centennial is extremely well run, well maintained and the staff is stupendous.
Service is perfect
The room was very clean and conformable.Also, the hotel has great staff...they are soooo friendly and nice....Thank you NAUMI for the great service. The breakfast was not included...it would be nice if they include it.
I like the decor of my room very much, the Aesop amenities and all other details in the room are nice. This is definitely rated a 5-star hotel. However, if being compared to other 5-star boutique hotels, their service is a little not up to a 5-star standard. People at the reception are not 'friendly' enough.
the room, the deco, lighting and service. may i have special price as a I am a very good marketing person to tell everyone I knew about your hotel, I LOVE IT!!
staff attentive,friendly and professional .very unusual for singapore.room was pure bliss as was the pool. only gripe was that airconditioning temperature could not be individually controlled.based on this probably would not stay again.shame because in every other way this hotel is truly outstanding .
offers the usual comforts, with great furnishings ad great toiletries. service is welcoming, extending the usual Loved membership perks to my SLH account. could do with providing late checkout more automatically rather than upon request on the day of departure itself. see above on the late checkout. breakfast has somewhat gone down in quality. actually my suggestion is to provide a salad/dessert buffet spread, with a fixed breakfast set, rather than to try to offer everything on buffet.
The staff were very friendly. The room was spacious and the bathroom excellent, the bed comfortable and the service great. nothing we did not like about the hotel
Very courteous and helpful staff at all levels, Excellent tourist (and business) location
the hospitality (each days there is many kind of drinks to be provided ) the breakfast is so poor if we compare it to another 5 stars hotels!
our second stay in a room with Kitchenette would highly recommend
View by the pool, friendly personel, immediately response on questions and problems, nespresso machine, good big bed, luxe bath, relax atmosphere, design, indirect light None
The staff were exceptional. Our room, a patio suite, was spacious and well designed - loved the addition of a coffeee machine in the room and the location was great - next to Raffles and a short walk to the centre of Singapore.
Amazing location, on a quiet street. The room is superbly clean, and the facilities are very nice.
The style of the hotel 3 Singapore Slingh for Euro 40.- !!! in the Long Bar - also drink much too sweet
Ambience History People on staff Nothing
The best I've ever been in. While the physical plant is equalled or exceeded by other fine hotels, the level of service and the attitude of the staff is beyond any other.
At least once in a lifetime you should stay at Raffles it is an experience you will never forget.
The service was wonderful. Our room was absolutely beautiful, and immaculate. The lack of live music at the gazebo / Courtyard bar. It used to make the atmosphere there even more special.
It has a sense of history that one cannot get from modern hotels. Excellent service, friendly but professional. Can't think of anything I didn't like
Splendid...historic...wonderful experience!!!
The room and the garden No internet in the room, or the internet line doesn't work
We loved everything about Raffles Hotel
The classical style of this more then 100 year old hotel we liked a lot. Staff was very helpful and nice. The TV is old and not many TV Channels. Rates of the hotel are a bit to high.
A water leak in hall made carpet smell but it was being dealt with
Staff. They offered us membership which entitled us for complimentary cabled internet access. Staff of Parkroyal on Beach Road was very helpful as well. No complimentary WIFI connectivity for Parkroyal guests, not even in lounge area.
I love the rooms: very spacious and elegant. Nice "warm" lights. Very nice bathroom and "rain-like" shower. Nice view from the very large window. Great swimming pool. Very nice and efficient staff.
very helpful staff, clean and comfortable room, beautiful pool we had a room on the rear side of the building, where we had no view (just a concrete wall)
Located near to the business locality. The hotel is at a very strategic location. it is very convenient to walk around the area The hotels air conditioning was too high. The carpets are old and there is dampness in the walkway. The Walkway I think smells of wood due to the dampness.
no Been subjected to some protection problems in Rest Room
Lovely clean room, food of good quality (especially the excellent Sichuan restaurant). Relaxing pool environment. Courteous staff. None at all
It was near to my training center The internet rate is so high 26 S$ while you can get it free from singtel
pool i'm not used to the air-con being on all the time, and couldn't figure out how to turn it off.
excellent roof top swimming pool, luxury decor, good central location and efficient staff I was keen to make payment on my debit card. The hotel insisted on only using credit cards for a deposit and then charged my credit card rather than my debit despite me asking them not to.
