Louisiana residents naturally think of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita when considering how they can protect their homes against wind-driven rain and flooding.
But it doesnt take a hurricane to cause serious property damage. As storm season moves into its more active stagewhich for Louisiana is September and Octoberthe Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) urges home and businesses owners to consider retrofitting their property.
Retrofitting is the term used to describe how you can modify your home to resist storm damage. Even if you are not in a floodplain or an area prone to flooding, degrees of flood damage can occur. When you decide to retrofit, begin by consulting a building contractor and by finding out what your communitys building codes are.
Where you live will affect the extent of retrofitting necessary. If you are in a coastal area certain construction principles will give you the most protection. And if you live in an area prone to wind damage there are both inexpensive and more costly construction methods from which to choose in order to protect your property.
Floods are the most frequently occurring and most costly natural disaster, said Gil Jamieson, Deputy Director of Gulf Coast Recovery for FEMA. We encourage property owners to find out what they can do to avoid heavy financial losses from floods.
Before a home or business owner decides on what extent to retrofit a property, four things should be considered. You will want to know what damage-reduction methods are available, the degree of protection they offer, whether they meet your needs and their cost.
Here are some damage reduction methods to consider:
Elevation - Involves raising your house to bring the lowest floor above flood level. This is the most common way to avoid flood damage. If you are rebuilding following serious damage, be aware of the latest Advisory Base Flood Elevation Maps for your area. You may want to rebuild to the standards indicated.
Wet floodproofing - Protects a building by allowing floodwaters to enter uninhabited areas of the propertyparking and storage areas for example.
Dry floodproofing - Sealing the house to prevent floodwaters from entering.
Relocation – Moving your house to higher ground or moving it outside of the flood hazard area.
Levees and floodwalls – Barriers constructed of compacted soil or manmade materials like concrete or masonry that block floodwaters.
Demolition – Demolishing your home and rebuilding on the property or elsewhere, to meet flood-resistant standards.
Determine What Methods Will Work Best
Inspect your property with the various damage-reduction methods in mind.
Check with local officials concerning hazards, codes and regulations, technical guidance and financial assistance.
Consult with a design professional and a contractor.
Once you have obtained as much information as possible on damage-reduction methods and know which will work for your structure, decide on how much you will have to spend to accomplish your retrofitting goals.
Dont hesitate because of the finances involved. Anyone who wants to protect their home or business by retrofitting should get in touch with FEMAs National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
Policy-holders may qualify for Increased Cost of compliance coverage for substantially damaged properties, which helps pay for some types of retrofitting, said Jim Stark, Director of FEMAs Louisiana Transitional Recovery Office. Help with insurance payments may also be available.
For more information on floodproofing your home, you can order the Homeowners Guide to Retrofitting, Publication 312, by calling FEMA at 1-800-480-2520. For information on NFIP call 1-800-CALL-FLOOD ext. 304 or visit FEMAs web site at www.floodalert.fema.gov .

Starting at just under $25,000, the Santa Fe Sport competes with other small SUVs such as the Ford Escape and Toyota RAV4. Meanwhile, the long-wheelbase Santa Fe is more competitive with mid-sized SUVs such as the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot and Nissan Pathfinder, and with its standard 290-horsepower V6, it offers more power than all of them. The Santa Fe Sport, on the other hand, features a standard 6-speed automatic, and at 71.5 cubic feet of rear cargo space, it bests competition such as the Toyota Venza and Ford Edge. With strong styling and a long list of available features, the Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport are appealing options.
Compare the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe against similar models
The Hyundai Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Sport are relatively unchanged for 2016, though the base GLS trim has been renamed SE.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Below are pictures of the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Hyundai Santa Fe seven-passenger crossover SUV features a strong V6 engine, a comfortable ride and an abundant list of available features. The handsomely styled Santa Fe aims toward large families who can use the additional seating capacity, though passenger space in that third row is skimpy and best left to the little ones.
All-wheel drive is available for wintry weather traction; front-wheel drive is standard. The Santa Fe gets better fuel economy than might be expected of a V6 engine.
This third-generation Santa Fe was introduced for the 2013 model year as a three-row crossover, sharing some of its body structure with the smaller, five-passenger Santa Fe Sport. Not much else is shared between the two, and the Santa Fe Sport is powered by four-cylinder engines rather than a V6.
Participating in the three-row SUV category, Santa Fe competes against Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, Nissan Pathfinder, Honda Pilot, and Kia Sorento, that last one a cousin to the Santa Fe. Minivans are competitors, also.
Little has changed for the 2016 model year, except that the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe SE is now the base model, formerly called GLS. Hyundai's BlueLink telematics system remains standard. This OnStar-like system incorporates turn-by-turn navigation and Bluetooth streaming for apps such as Pandora, and works in conjunction with your smartphone.
The federal government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not yet given the Santa Fe a crash-test rating. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave Santa Fe a Marginal rating for small-overlap front-impact protection.
The 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe comes in two trim levels, each with a choice of front-drive or all-wheel drive, all with the 3.3-liter V6 engine.
Santa Fe SE ($30,400) comes with seven-passenger seating; air conditioning; tilt/telescoping steering column; phone controls and steering-wheel audio; CD player; USB and auxiliary ports; satellite radio; Bluetooth connectivity with audio streaming; power driver's seat; and 17-inch wheels. Option packages add leather upholstery and other features.
Santa Fe Limited ($34,500) switches to a six-passenger configuration with captain's chairs in the second row. Standard equipment includes leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, a power front passenger seat, an electro-luminescent gauge cluster, hands-free power liftgate, proximity key, pushbutton start, driver-selectable steering mode, and 19-inch alloy wheels.
All-wheel drive ($1,750) is available for either trim level.
Safety features include a driver's knee airbag and a rearview camera. Blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-change assist are standard on the Limited model, and offered in an option package for SE.
Recently, Hyundai has moved toward a strong emphasis on appearance, and Santa Fe is among the beneficiaries. Sharp edges and tight creases wrap around the Santa Fe in imaginative ways. Up front, the hexagonal grille was developed in a way that stands well apart from previous versions.
On the whole, the longer Santa Fe comes across as slightly less distinctive than the Santa Fe Sport, which is 8.5 inches shorter.
Inside, the dashboard centers upon a shield-like grouping of controls, surrounded by familiar, fluid swoops and curves. Adding an upscale touch, the dashboard is trimmed in appealing two-tone materials for an upscale touch. In our view, it looks better when highlighted by glossy trim pieces rather than by simulated wood.
Crossover wagons of any size focus on room and utility, and Santa Fe meets that requirement. Front seats are a step up from those in recent Hyundai models, with improved support built into the bottom cushions. Buyers can choose between a six-passenger layout with captain's chairs in the second row, or a center bench that yields seven-seat configuration.
The Santa Fe's longer wheelbase translates to greater rear-seat leg room, accompanied by very good seat comfort. That's especially true with the Limited's captain's chairs.
Only young passengers will go for the third-row bench. Adults will not want to squeeze through the small passenger opening to get to the third row, even though the second-row seats slide forward.
Cargo volume is on the small side, at 13.5 cubic feet behind the third row; but it expands to more than 40 cubic feet when the third row is folded flat. That's accomplished by pulling on straps. From the cargo hold, second-row seats can be lowered via a lever. An available hands-free liftgate only requires the opener to stand nearby, with the proximity key at hand.
Developing 290 horsepower and 252 pound-feet of torque, the Santa Fe's 3.3-liter V6 is a muscular engine. It's rated to tow 5,000 pounds without add-on equipment. Direct injection in the V6 also yields better fuel economy.
The 2016 Santa Fe is EPA-rated at 18/25 mpg City/Highway, or 21 mpg Combined. With all-wheel drive, Santa Fe is rated 18/24 mpg City/Highway, 20 mpg Combined.
The driving experience is relatively smooth and effortless. The powertrain is muted nicely and the ride is smooth and quiet. Though it generally behaves well, the 6-speed automatic transmission occasionally becomes distracted between taps on the gas pedal, evidently unsure what to do next.
As for Hyundai's three-mode electric power steering, we'd generally leave it in Normal or Sport position. Comfort setting makes the Santa Fe respond to steering-wheel motions too slowly for our particular brand of comfort.
With so many capable contenders in the three-row SUV category, Santa Fe has a challenging task in trying to stand above the pack. Helping in that quest is the strong powertrain, coupled with satisfying ride comfort. Placing options in large packages eases the buying process, provided you truly want all the items. Choosing the Limited adds some valuable safety features.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

seeking math.el beta testers
I have completed a revsion of math.el, a Gnu Emacs mode package that
lets one run Mathematica under Gnu Emacs. This version takes
advantage of new features in version 2.1 of Mathematica to allow
better synchronization between Emacs and Mathematica, but is also full
compatible with version 2.0. Also the interface has been improved in
a number of ways to make it more convenient. I'm seeking a few people to
test it on a wider variety of platforms than I have access to before I
make it generally available.
If you are interested, please reply to me via e-mail.

If they've made the move, you'll find them within the stores menu up top.
If not, they'll still be in the Hello Merch Stores menu on the old site.
How do you access the old site? Any store not currently found here, can be found by simply going to HELLOMERCH.COM.
Sorry for any inconvenience, but trust us, this is for the best.
P.S. Let us know what you think of the new stores!

well anyone wanna puy a pair????

Inactive User
All denim, 100% cotton or not will stretch. It's a given, so you have to know your size.
I got a 33 in these and they stretched about an inch or so and fit nicely. The waist isn't a problem and the inseam and rise look clean. I haven't worn them much but am working on them for fades and wear and tear.
Are those black or like some kind of dark vintage blue?
i usually wear a 33X34, but it says to size up on the description.
should i size up, or should i size down? thanks.
no. apparently for the tighter ones u need to size up.
^^ same exact pair?
Inactive User
im going to get some Cheap Monday's tomorrow morning...so i need a quick reply.
the post above said that he got the thinnest and sized up two...they look like they fit him well
but as you can see, everyone in here says size down.
id wear like a 30x32...so what should i get if i want thin jeans, but not like the super emo CCS ones? basically, i just want a slim fit. definitely not a skinny fit, or a reg fit. so, given my measurements, what size should i get for slim CM's? i dont want them super baggy, or super skinny either. if i try them on at the store, should the be really tight at first (because then they will stretch out later)?
thanks guys
I got some CM cords a few weeks back. Fits good. Im getting some of the tight denim this week. My thighs arent like fat and globby but big so its okHi Flatland,
It depends: do you want to look sexy, hot or anything like that? Because if you do, then you really should consider to fit a little in your jeans.
I'm telling you this because before buying my new Levi's 514 in here:
I had to visit 'a little' my local gym ;-)

Hello everybody, I need a little help cos i'm new here. I uploaded this week a leather collection item. I received 4 soft rejections from 2 reviewers. I made 2 new previews 590, 1 new preview 80 and 1 new preview image set. I think that the latest previews i made are better than first version but the item was approved and shown in first version. I made a "Question to a Reviewer#202376" ticket in Envato Support but i'm not sure how it works indeed. Is there any possibility to change the preview of item and what i must do? I'd be very grateful if you help me.
Hi TanyDi,
It's very easy to do that. First go to your item page (where you want to change preview image or thumbnail). Below your item name you will see some buttons
Item Details, FAQs, Comments, Edit, History
Now click on edit button
Now upload your preview image & thumbnail under this description (Update Item and Tags (requires review)
After uploading your preview image or thumbnail write a message to the Reviewer (that you want to change your preview images)
& again Submit Files for Review
I hope it helps..
Go to your Portfolio, choose one of your Items, click Edit, in there you can change or update your Main Preview, Image Thumbnail even Preview Image Set, you can upload the brand new.
And dont forget to tell reviewer what the changes that you have made
Good Luck,
Thank you very much :

The US Defence Department has located another disc of images related to abuses of Iraqi detainees, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said.
"I've just been informed that the Department of Defense has informed the committee that another disc of pictures has been located, and I'll soon advise the committee on the conditions under which and the timing they can be viewed," said US Senator John Warner, a Virginia Republican.
His committee was holding a hearing on the abuse and sexual humiliation of Iraqi detainees by US forces at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad.

W.E. Gladstone and Penmaenmawr
This is not a guided trail. You should choose your own route around our town looking at the various Locations associated with William E. Gladstone and his family on their numerous visits to Penmaenmawr in the second half of the 19th century.
William Ewart Gladstone first came to Penmaenmawr for his holidays in 1855. Over the next forty years he was to make eleven more visits with his family, staying at various houses most of which were the property of the Derbyshire's of Pendyffryn Estate and later owners of Graiglwyd Quarry. He came here to bathe in the sea, to walk the hills, to read and continue his studies on Homer. When he arrived the town was undeveloped but his visits popularised the place and soon attracted people of a high social order - Lords and Ladies, Bishops, Writers and Composers. His visits declined as he grew older and his final visit in 1896 was after a break of fourteen years but the town had grown out of all recognition since he had first arrived forty years previously.
1.Gladstone Memorial.
The memorial was unveiled in August 1899. The original bust was stolen in the 1970s and a replacement made in 1991 by local sculptor Peter London. The original bust faced down Paradise Road, which W.E.G. opened officially on his last visit in 1896.
The town's shopping centre did not exist when W.E.G. first arrived. One of the early entrepreneurs, Thomas Patrick, who befriended Gladstone, opened a 'Bazaar' in a wooden shack which was later replaced by a row of shops, one of which had an extension at the rear which he named 'Gladstone Hall'. The entrance to this Hall (now converted for accommodation) can be seen at the extreme left of the Christian Café / Bookshop.
3. Bryn Hedd (In Gladstone's time Plas Mariandir) - Conwy Road.
It was to this house that W.E.G. brought his family on their first visit to Penmaenmawr. Its owner, Dr. John Harrison of Chester was one of the first to 'discover' the area and to take advantage of the new Chester/Holyhead railway which turned a journey of a day by road from Chester into one of just over an hour. On arriving here for the first time on Monday 3rd September 1855, by train, from the family seat at Hawarden Castle for a three week stay, 46 year old Gladstone had just finished his first term as Chancellor the Exchequer. He wrote that evening in his diary -
'This spot is lovely. We found at our journey's end a soft and pretty nook under the stern and grand though not high mountain; and a healthy happy party "
He did not return to Penmaenmawr until 1859 when once again he stayed at Plas Mariandir.
4. Glan-y-Mor - Conwy Road.
In 1860 and 1861 the Gladstone's made their third and fourth visits staying at Mr. Harrison's "new and excellently prepared house." Since Plas Mariandir could no longer be described as new it is believed that the house referred to was Glan-y-Mor.
5. St. Seiriol's Church.
The building of this large Church in the late 1860s reflects the increasing popularity of Penmaenmawr as a resort for the middle and clerical classes. W.E.G. had complained in lets diary of the inadequacies of the parish church - too small, too plain, too remote and too Welsh. The visitors were being accommodated in the area above the railway station - Pantyrafon - this is where they wanted a new, grand, English church and they were willing to finance its erection and its upkeep.
On September 5th 1862 on his fifth visit, W.E.G., then Chancellor of the Exchequer, attended a meeting at the National Schoolroom ('Gasworks' site school opposite Puffin, now under the A55 roundabout!) to discuss the following resolution.
"That the increase that is taking place in the population of this parish renders it imperative to provide additional church accommodation."
Those attending, which included the Bishop of Gloucester, Bishop of Bangor and leading English residents (most of them temporary) promised to work effortlessly to raise the £4,000 needed. Within four years Mrs. Gladstone was laying down the corner stone (the corner stone was not engraved so do not waste time looking for it!) of the new church (September 1867) with her husband in attendance. The church was opened to divine service less than a year later on June 2nd 1868! But without a tower and bell. Mrs. Gladstone promised on behalf of her husband that if a tower was added he would supply the bell. Indeed he did, both tower and bell were ready by 1885 - he did not attend their dedication. He had also previously donated silver communion vessels to the church.
6. Penholm (in Gladstone's time Ormeview)-junction of Fernbrook Road and Conwy Old Road.
W.E.G. and his wife Catherine stayed here for five days in September 1882 as a guest of their niece, Lady Lucy Cavendish. She had come to Penmaenmawr to recover from the trauma of her husband's murder in Phoenix Park, Dublin in May of that year. Cavendish had been appointed by Gladstone as Irish Secretary and a few days before his murder at the hands of Nationalists.
Despite the tragic reasons for the visit he was given a grand welcome.
7. Noddfa (until recently Plas Tan-Y-Foel ) - Conwy Old Road.
This mansion was built for wealthy Manchester businessman, Murray Gladstone, cousin to W.E.G. and it is known from the diaries that the latter and his family were frequent callers to the house from 1860.
Murray Gladstone met his death tragically on the sands at Penmaenmawr on Monday night, August 23rd 1875.
"He had suffocated in the water. Upon his forehead was an ugly bruise - incontestable evidence that he had fallen and suggesting the probable inference that in so doing he had struck his forehead against a half buried stone many of which the shore abounds. "
He was buried in St. Gwynin's cemetery and the funeral was attended by W.E.G. He was 59 years old.
8. Plas Mawr (site of only) - Bangor Road
Identifying the Gladstone family accommodation for their visits in 1862, '63, '64, and '67 is somewhat controversial.
Various writers, without local knowledge, have suggested that they stayed at Pendyffryn since the diaries refer to 'Hall' and 'Derbyshire's house'. 1 believes that both these refer to Plas Mawr - both a 'hall' and belonging to the Derbyshire's - it was part of their Pendyffryn estate, bought from the Smith family in 1853. It was from this time that the Derbyshire's family, especially S.D.Darbishire, the head of the family, developed a close relationship with W.E.G. He visited Pendyffryn frequently on his visits to Penmaenmawr, corresponded with S.D.Darbishire and it was to their properties that he came to stay. The later Derbyshire's, staunch members of the Liberal Party, encouraged the Gladstone's to visit Penmaenmawr and made much of their visits in enticing others to stay here - the Derbyshire's were involved in selling plots of land for housing in the 1870s and 1890s. W.E.G. definitely stayed at Plas Mawr in 1868 on his ninth visit but did not return to the house until 1896 and his twelfth and final visit.
9. TY Mawr - approached via Public Footpath - Bangor Road.
Plas Mawr was not available for the 1874 visit. The Gladstone family were offered nearby Ty Mawr by the Derbyshire's but dissatisfaction with this accommodation resulted in them leaving and moving to Plas Celyn (RONCOL).
10. Plas Celyn (RONCOL ) - Bangor Road
A photograph of Gladstone and friends exists taken outside the house. The photograph was probably taken by J. Jamblin who lived locally and had built the Oxford Arcade (Shops and Studio) in the late 1870s. By the end of the 1880s Jamblin was in financial difficulties and a fund was set up to 'rescue' the old man. The first subscriber on the list was W.E.Gladstone who promised £5.
11. Railway Station / Paradise Road.
The point of entry and departure - an hour or so from Hawarden, five hours from Westminster - ideal for Gladstone.
The scene of numerous orchestrated welcomes for Gladstone and his family. In 1874 his carriage was pulled by quarrymen to their holiday accommodation. Here was a place of grand speeches by himself and his supporters. Here he praised Penmaenmawr to high heaven - proclaiming the delights and benefits of spending a holiday in Penmaenmawr.
"The health and strength which it has pleased God to give me during the past twenty years 1 owe in no small degree to the, salubrity and fresh breezes and the habits of life which prevail at Penmaenmawr."
In 1896, his final visit; there was a tremendous welcome - speeches by Charles Derbyshire's, Chairman of the Local Council, Chairman of the Liberal Association followed by W.E.G. opening the new road 'Paradise Road'.
"I do not know of a more healthy place, a more satisfactory climate is not to be found to my knowledge in this country."
The above information was kindly provided by Mr Dennis Roberts.
Gladstone and Penmaenmawr
William Gladstone first came to Penmaenmawr in the late 1850's to visit his friend and fellow liberal Samuel Derbyshire's –quarry owner and squire of Pendyffryn hall. There after he was a constant visitor "dear old Penmaenmawr"he called it and never missed an opportunity to sing its praises.
According to Gladstone the air and sea to Penmaenmawr had remarkable restorative properties, a view endorsed by other notable Victorians amongst them Charles Darwin, Edward Elgar and poet lord Tennyson.
The mountain too played its part in making the resort popular, in Victorian times a suntan (so sought after today) was considered rather common. At Penmaenmawr, the mountain overshadowed the resort, which meant that the town got less sunshine than its coastal neighbours so a tan was more easily avoided.
It must be said how ever that this is not the case to day; Penmaenmawr gets just as much sun shine as nearby resorts. The quarrying of Penmaenmawr Mountain through the decades has removed much of the mountain's bulk.
A statue and bronze bust in the town commemorates William Ewart Gladstone's connection with Penmaenmawr.

WASHINGTON (Dec. 15)
President-elect John F. Kennedy announced today the appointment of Arthur J. Goldberg, Chicago-born labor lawyer, as Secretary of Labor. The appointment puts two Jews into a United States Cabinet for the first time in American history. Senator Kennedy previously had chosen Governor Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut as his Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare.
The Secretary of Labor nominee has been special counsel of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) since 1948 and he is also general counsel for the United Steelworkers of America.
The 52-year-old labor law expert is known as a friend of Israel. He recently accepted appointment as chairman of the board of trustees of the Histadrut Development Foundation, an American organization established to help Israel's Labor Federation. He is a member of Temple Sinai here.
Mr. Goldberg was the negotiator between the U.S. State Department and the two seafaring unions which picketed the Egyptian ship, the Cleopatra, at a New York dock earlier this year in retaliation for Arab blacklisting of American ships touching at Israel ports. He was instrumental in the issuance of a statement by the State Department promising to take action to meet the grievances of the two maritime unions.
The new Cabinet appointee is a graduate of Northwestern University and is a member of the American, Illinois and Chicago Bar associations. He served as a major in the U. S. Army during World War II.
He is a director of the National Legal Aid Association, a member of the executive committee of the American Committee on United Europe and a director of the Amalgamated Trust and Savings Bank and the Amalgamated Health and Life Insurance Company, both of Chicago.

Amy Adams and Zach Galifianakis In Talks to Star in Ridley Scott Dramedy Town House
Amy Adams and Zach Galifianakis Move In to Town House
Zach Galifianakis's star continues to rise. The Hangover funny man is reportedly in talks for Town House. Loosely based on the novel by Tish Cohen, the dramedy follows an agoraphobic dad (Galifianakis) living off royalties from his rock star father — the dilemma being what to do when the money runs out. Amy Adams would play a call girl who befriends him.
Adams, aka Miss Enchanted, as a prostitute? Galifianakis as a father?! I love both of these actors, and I'm excited to see them branch out. With Tony and Ridley Scott producing, and John Carney of Once fame is attached to direct, I have high hopes for this one.
What's your take on the news? If the plot gets romantic — which I'm guessing it will — do you think Galifianakis and Adams will make a good pair? (I wonder if he'll shave that beard!)

2010 Honey Of The Year
So let me break this down for you in case you didn't read last year. Honey Of The Year is strictly based off "post views" and traffic that a certain girl brought to the website. And hands down, for 2010, Suleika killed the competition and kept the internet busy…or at least The305 she did. And this one is extra special because she's from my island of heritage, Dominican Republic. And you know, what you see above is only a taste of how Dominican women do. Suleika or "Sweet Suleika" as she calls herself, was relatively quiet in 2010, but we had a couple posts on The305 and numbers wise, she did it up. One post garnered a whopping 66,378 views. And three or four others we did on her got at least 10-15 thousand views each. And none of that is including people who saw the posts on the front page of the site or in the "honeys" section. Overall, Suleika is just simply amazing. Hopefully, 2011 will be that year The305 can finally shoot her. We've been trying for like a year+plus to get her down to Miami! So there you have it, your honey of the year. Click below for photos…

Debut Author Receives Foreign Rights for Self-Published Book
HOUSTON, July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ Mentor Me: GA=T+EA Formula to Fulfill Your Greatest Achievement, a new book by author Ken Poirot, is officially released today. This unique book has already received attention internationally, resulting in at least one foreign rights inquiry. It is highly unusual for a self-published book, written by a debut author, to receive any foreign rights interest prior to its release.
When he was asked about the foreign rights inquiry for Mentor Me, author Ken Poirot stated, "I think it is due to the uniqueness of Mentor Me. It was conceived and written based on the best of training I taught and received at top New York Stock Exchange-listed companies. My intent is to deliver this material in a cohesive package for the benefit of the everyday person. Additionally, I enhanced and blended this training with my own strategies, techniques, observations, and experiences realized over an almost two decades-long career in financial services. There is a natural curiosity and mystery about what skills these top-level companies are teaching their employees in order to maintain a business advantage in the global marketplace.
"Furthermore, I also believe some of the intrigue is generated by the differences in people's opinions when characterizing Mentor Me. Some have said it contains elements of a self-help, business, or even modern psychology 'workbook of sorts.' Others have labeled it a 'real-world practical' book. All these factors are combining to pique people's curiosity and interest in Mentor Me."
Mentor Me: GA=T+EA Formula to Fulfill Your Greatest Achievement (ISBN: 978-145752-772-2), by Ken Poirot, can be purchased through most major bookstores and online retailers.

Did you know that Daniel Negari initially bought XYZ.com to create a full web experience for individuals and businesses to create their own websites, to register domains, and control online goods? If you don't, now you do. With an authorization from Verisign and PIR to sell .net, .com and .org domains, XYZ.com proceeded also to grow into an ICANN-accredited registrar. ICANN's intent to apply for a new gTLD extension program, it turned the company into a registry operator.

All three domains: .Protection, .Security, and .Theatre, were released in general availability. They were initially obtained from other companies, later the company selected these domain names. Watching XYZ's late launches: .cars, .car, and .auto, the company expect to receive $600 for .theatre and over $2000 for .protection and .security domains.
You are not allowed to register domain names with special characters like & or #, but you can have for these domains up to 63 characters that can include numbers from 0 to 9, letters from a to z and hyphens, excepting the third and fourth characters of the domain name.
Here are some details for a better overview:
-Sunrise Phase: December 17, 2015 to January 19, 2016;
-Early Access Phase: Beginning with January 20, 2016;
-General Availability Phase: Starting with January 27, 2016.

Carving a Mount Rushmore of Wisconsin sports
The state of Wisconsin has a rich history spanning many sports, with influential power brokers and all-time great athletes. It got us thinking – who's the best of the best? We tell you who we think belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Wisconsin athletes, baseball in Milwaukee and the most influential figures in state history.
The first, and most important of the Mount Rushmore in this state has to be the people most responsible for, well, our sports.
The Wisconsin Sports Rushmore
From left: Vince Lombardi, Jane Bradley Pettit, Bud Selig, Herb Kohl.
Vince Lombardi: He came in and took a moribund franchise to three NFL championships and the two Super Bowl titles in NFL history. He remains the standard bearer for head coaching in the league, and the game's ultimate prize is named after him.
Jane Bradley Pettit: Through her foundation, she donated $90 million to the BMO Harris Bradley Center and another $9 million to the Pettit National Ice Center and in 1999, she became a stakeholder of the Milwaukee Brewers and contributed $14 million toward Miller Park. Without her, you could make the argument that Milwaukee would have lost both of its professional franchises and the city would definitely not be a hub for winter Olympians.
Bud Selig: He brought Major League Baseball back to Milwaukee after buying the Seattle Pilots, a move alone that would put him on any Mount Rushmore of Wisconsin sports. But of course, he went on to become the commissioner of the league in 1992 and one of the most powerful men in all of sports.
Herb Kohl: The former Senator wanted to bring the NBA to Milwaukee as far back as the late 1960's and saved the team in 1985 when he purchased it from Jim Fitzgerald. He did his part to keep the team in Milwaukee going forward by gifting $100 million toward the construction of a new arena when he agreed to sell the team to New York billionaires Wes Edens and Marc Lasry in April. He also contributed $25 million to the construction of the Kohl Center at the University of Wisconsin.
Milwaukee baseball Rushmore
From left: Hank Aaron, Paul Molitor, Robin Yount, Warren Spahn.
Hank Aaron: What can you say about "Hammerin' Hank?" He spent his first 12 years with the Milwaukee Braves, going to 11 All-Star games and winning the 1957 Most Valuable Player award while hitting 398 homers and driving in 1,305 runs from 1954 to '65. He returned to Milwaukee with the Brewers for his final two seasons in 1975-76, hitting his final 22 homeruns to retire with a then-record 755. Perhaps most importantly, the Hall of Famer was part of the only World Series championship in Milwaukee as the Braves beat the New York Yankees in 1957.
Paul Molitor: He spent his first 15 years of his Hall of Fame career in Milwaukee, collecting 2,281 of his 3,319 career hits and 412 of his career 504 stolen bases while leading the American League in hits, doubles and triples once, runs scored three times while appearing in five All-Star games. He also hit .355 in the Brewers' only appearance in the World Series.
Robin Yount: A lifelong Milwaukee baseball player, "The Kid" won two MVP awards, went to three All-Star games and won one Gold Glove in 20 years with the Brewers. He collected 3,142 hits, hitting 251 homers and stealing 271 bases in a hall of Fame career. He also hit .414 in the 1982 World Series.
Warren Spahn: The Hall of Fame lefty came to Milwaukee after the Boston Braves relocated in 1953 and won a league-best 23 games with a league-best 2.10 earned run average in his first season in the Cream City. From 1953 through 1964, Spahn went 234-138 with a 3.05 ERA while completing an astounding 232 starts. He went to nine All-Star games as a Milwaukee Brave and won the 1957 Cy Young Award and won a game in the 1957 World Series.
Wisconsin athletes Mount Rushmore
From left: Robin Yount, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Eric Heiden, Brett Favre.
Robin Yount: Wisconsin has a great history of baseball, but only one Hall of Famer spent his entire career in the city, and that's Yount. He's remained the face of the franchise long after retiring in 1993. He holds 23 franchise records, including in advanced stats.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: While many around the country will associate Abdul-Jabbar with the Los Angeles Lakers, no player did as much for professional basketball in this state as he did. Drafted as Lew Alcindor in 1969, he played six seasons with the Bucks. He was a six-time All-Star, won three of his six MVP awards and one of his two NBA Finals MVP awards. He also led the Bucks to their only two trips to the Finals, including their only NBA championship in 1971.
Eric Heiden: Few have ever accomplished as much than the Madison native, who won an incredible five individual gold medals in speed skating at the 1980 Winter Olympics. While doing so, he set four Olympic records and one world record. He won seven other gold medals in world championships leading up to those Games, including in Milwaukee. He also set 15 world records. He then became a professional cyclist and won the first U.S. Professional Cycling Championship in 1985 and competed in the 1986 Tour de France.
Brett Favre: As much as any player could, Favre resuscitated a once-proud franchise over 16 years. He led the Green Bay Packers to four NFC championships and the 1996 Super Bowl championship, along with a return trip in 1997. He won three consecutive MVP awards while in Green Bay (1995-97) and went to nine Pro Bowls while setting an NFL record for consecutive games played. He also set NFL records for touchdown passes and passing yards.

Killin' It 083: Becoming Medusa At Local Project
"Did I escape, I wonder?
My mind winds to you
Old barnacled umbilicus, Atlantic cable,
Keeping itself, it seems, in a state of miraculous
repair." - Sylvia Plath, Medusa
"She didn't deserve it." I thought as I filled the bathtub with chlorophyll and lemon balm. In the language of flowers and herbs, lemon balm says "Don't misuse me." I was thinking about Medusa. Whether she had bragged about her beauty or if there was a rivalry between her and Athena, Medusa didn't deserve it. She didn't deserve to be raped by Poseidon in Athena's temple and she didn't deserve the wrath of Athena afterward. I dropped the plastic snakes into the water.
I was making a swamp. I needed to. I needed to be grounded and cleansed at the same time. To do this I had to become Medusa. I wrapped snakes in my hair and pinned the rest up, I applied makeup like a mask. "What if Medusa kept her beauty? What if Medusa was only hideous when the snakes awoke? These thoughts ran through my head as I tilted my head and arched. I've always thought of Medusa's hair as protection. The snakes lay dormant until danger was near, thus awaking them and her hideous scream turning those who wished to harm her to stone. I stepped into the water and emerged.
Medusa: "Her only crime was being beautiful" can be seen from July 6-20 at Local Project for the "Turned On" exhibit. Opening reception July 6th 6-10pm. Closing reception July 20 6-10 p.m.

NEW YORK – Growing up in Los Angeles, Nick Young and Jordan Farmar were accustomed to seeing Lakers teams led by multiple superstars.
"Shaq and Kobe," Young said, "and then Bynum winning championships. And Pau."
But not these Lakers, who after an 8-8 start have found moderate success not behind the efforts of superstars — with the notable exception of Pau Gasol — but role players such as Young and Farmar. Until Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash return from injuries, timetables that remain mysteries, this is how it will be.
The Lakers bench — typically rounded out by Xavier Henry and Shawne Williams — leads the NBA in scoring with 46.3 points per game.
"It's not the big names or the superstars," Coach Mike D'Antoni said. "I think it's getting along. All pointed in the same direction, all happy with their roles all know the pecking order."
In Wednesday's 99-94 win over the Brooklyn Nets, Farmar made three 3-pointers in 57 seconds, Young led all scorers with 26 points and starter Wesley Johnson made the winning steal and dunk. The bench outscored the starting five, 52-47.
"I guess the only question is, should I start my bench?" D'Antoni said jokingly even before the game.
D'Antoni has now had it two ways in a short period of time with the Lakers, going from a team built around Bryant, Nash, Gasol and Dwight Howard, to more of an ensemble cast (think "Modern Family" versus "Louie.").
Of course, the Lakers hoped to be another superstar-laden team this season. But Nash has been limited to six games with nerve root irritation, and it appears unlikely the 39-year-old will return to the level of play that earned him back-to-back MVPs in the last decade.
When Bryant returns to the lineup, he will presumably bump either Jodie Meeks or Wesley Johnson back to the bench. There seems to be little concern of disrupting the unit, however. Both players have successfully come off the bench this season and, even as D'Antoni has constantly picked at his lineups, the second unit has been a constant.
"(D'Antoni) just slowly puts pieces in there as he's figuring out what works and what doesn't," reserve big man Chris Kaman said, "and I think those guys come in with energy and they're focused and they want it. All around the board, we have some great talented players that come off the bench and start."
The Lakers, who play Friday in Detroit, remain in the bottom half of the Western Conference, and only three teams in the West have worse records. The Lakers have a better record than all but two Eastern Conference teams.
But given the hurdles this team has faced, there seems to be general appreciation for how the first month of the season has played out — even if the record isn't up to the standards of Lakers seasons past.
Asked how he would have felt about 8-8 if given a crystal ball before the season, D'Antoni said, "I would have taken it. Now that we are 8-8 I'm ticked off because we gave a couple away. We can do better, and we will do better."
Even Gasol, the sternest of the active Lakers and, perhaps, the least forgiving of under-par performances, was at peace with the start to the season.
"It's not about just the record," he said. "It's about where we're at right now. If we would have started 8-2, right now we would have lost the last six games. I wouldn't be as content and satisfied as I am right now."
With just three games in the next week, and Dec. 6 at Sacramento circled on many calendars as a possible return for Bryant, the Lakers are playing their best of the season. Even in Tuesday's 116-111 loss to Washington, D'Antoni found much to be encouraged by.
"We're jelling," Young said. "And that's the power of our team, second unit comes in, the energy. We try to just break the game open."
And while the Lakers don't have the superstars on the floor that they did when they won their last title in 2010, Farmar — who was on that team, as well — sees a different commonality.
"We just have a good group of guys," he said. "We have a lot of high character guys who want the best for the team. It's not common. It's rare. We were fortunate to have it when we were winning championships. We were really close on and off the court."

The Harding University Partnership School, which since January 2010 has been partnered with UC Santa Barbara and in particular UCSB's Gevirtz School, will bring the entire school – students, teachers, and many parents, too – to the UC Santa Barbara campus on Friday, May 17 from 9 am – 12:30 pm. This will be the fourth annual visit for Harding to UCSB. Students ranging from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade will take part in activities aimed specifically for their grade levels and designed to enhance the curriculum they've been studying in their Westside school.
"We bring the Harding community to UCSB as a way to ensure that our children and parents feel they belong on a university campus," Acting Dean Gale Morrison of the Gevirtz School says. "In addition to the cutting edge learning opportunities they will experience during the visit, they will be welcomed by UCSB students, faculty, and staff as a way to invite them back as university students."
The events during the day include Grade 1 students attending a session entitled "Discovering Antarctica;" Grade 3 students attending "Is It Magic? No, It's Science!" a program presented by Gevirtz School professors Danielle Harlow and Sue Johnson; and Grade 4 students attending a session entitled "Color Book," a project-oriented class built around taking photos of color patterns in nature on campus, compiling the best of these photos into a digital book, and writing poems about the photos. This session that brings together science, computers, art, and creative writing will be led by Gevirtz School Education Professor Patrick Faverty, the school's Information Technology Director Bill Doering, and Santa Barbara Poet Laureate (and UCSB Library staff member) Chryss Yost. Numerous opportunities will be available to talk to students and get wonderful footage of youth learning in action, while also getting a sense that college can be for them.
The historic Harding School – whose students are nearly 95% Hispanic, more than 90% economically disadvantaged, and more than 60 % of its pupils are English Language Learners – has been involved in major changes over the past five years. These efforts were punctuated by the January 2010 announcement of an unprecedented partnership with UC Santa Barbara.
The Harding University Partnership School is a place of joy, excellence, and international focus. Of particular distinction for the neighborhood is the University School's status as an International Baccalaureate Program, making it the only Santa Barbara elementary school currently pursuing this highly acclaimed approach that emphasizes 21st century skills and international mindedness.
The stellar teaching staff is assisted by graduate level teacher candidates from UCSB providing greater support for students at every grade level with the latest research-based practices. Faculty researchers and UCSB undergraduate tutors partner with teachers to deliver the latest evidence-based instruction.

We're hosting Metoux and Oscar Key Sung at Berlin's Badehaus on July 28th. RSVP here because it's going to be a good time :)
Sounds like: Jose Gonzalez, The Whitest Boy Alive
Why do we like this?
There are few bands that can put me in a relaxed mood as quickly as Kings of Convenience. Their album Declaration Of Dependence ranks among one of my favorites, with darn good reason.
The album was released in 2009, eight years after the Norwegian band first broke onto the scene with their album Quiet Is The New Loud. That debut was a particular standout for the remix album that it spawned, Versus (including renditions by heavy hitters Royksopp, Four Tet and even Ladytron).
To boot, their live show is absolutely phenomenal. The two artists play off each other so well that you'd think they'd been playing together since birth.

You are here:
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that more than 581,500 new RN jobs will be created through 2018. The need for proven, dedicated nursing professionals has never been greater. Whether you're new to nursing or looking to expand and enhance your expertise, the University of Maryland School of Nursing offers you an exciting opportunity to make a difference.
UMSON offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree with two options:
Students may complete the traditional BSN option at either the University of Maryland School of Nursing in Baltimore, Md. or at The Universities at Shady Grove in Rockville, Md. Both the Baltimore and Shady Grove locations admit students in the fall and spring semesters. Both locations have identical curricula, course progression, and graduate requirements. Students may attend full-time or part-time. RN-to-BSN students may take classes at either location or at the Laurel College Center.
The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) is an urban university accessible by MARC trains, light rail, and bus lines. The main building for the School of Nursing was opened in 1998 and has integrated technology in the classrooms. Master's and doctoral nursing students attend classes at UMB, creating options for collaboration. Limited student housing is available. Reduced fees for student parking are available. Clinical assignments are typically in Baltimore, Annapolis, Washington, D.C. triangle. Students must furnish their own transportation to clinical sites.
The Universities at Shady Grove is a small interprofessional campus run by the University System of Maryland, located in the I-270 corridor, just off of Shady Grove Road. Many state-supported universities have programs at this location. The location has the advantages of a suburban setting, convenient parking, a smaller student body with a more intimate feel, and state-of-the-art technology in the classrooms. No student housing is available. Clinical assignments for nursing students at The Universities at Shady Grove are typically located at nearby institutions. Students are expected to furnish their own transportation to clinical sites.
The Laurel College Center (LCC) is located in downtown Laurel, convenient to major highways, mass transit, parking, and shopping. The LCC allows students living and working in Howard, Prince Georges, and Anne Arundel counties a convenient alternative to driving to Baltimore or Shady Grove. Beginning fall 2015, RN-to-BSN core courses will be taught in this new instructional site. Elective courses are offered online and at the Baltimore and Shady Grove locations. Clinical assignments are typically in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C.-Annapolis triangle. Students must furnish their own transportation to clinical sites.
Students must successfully complete required coursework in the social and behavioral sciences, the natural and physical sciences and the arts and humanities. These lower-division pre-professional courses may be completed at any accredited college or university. Students who have completed coursework in Maryland may review transfer courses at ARTSYS – Articulation System for Maryland Colleges and Universities. This is an online evaluation system that enables students to determine how courses taken at any two year college in Maryland transfer to any four year college or university in Maryland. Visit the ARTSYS website at http://artweb.usmd.edu.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
i think this hotel is highly overrated, we went there during the holiday, most of the facilities were closed... there were lack of coordination between staff, we had reservations for 2 rooms, but when we got there they only had one, and the receptionist started yelling that there is no other reservation, and when we showed the confirmation she started appologizing...they charge about 20 JD for the breakfast that wouldn't cost more than 2 JD, they dont even have juice or fresh mint tea in the "Royal CLUB' which is 50 JD more than the dulex room ..
Its not 5 star hotel max 1 star hotel,no service not clean and very bad staff
Just the dicoration Services, Rate
The reason I stayed in this hotel was that the conference I came to attend was held in this hotel. I booked Club Room and was upgraded to Business Suite. The suite was in the 24th floor and has everything I needed during my 1 night/2 days business trip - nice view. Nothing major at all. If there is onething I felt a bit irrelevant, it was the car parking although available, not up to a 5star hotel level. I expect LCD TV in rooms of such hotel and especially such suite instead of the normal television that is dated long time ago.
Very classy but pricey Hotel staff not too familiar with citys cultural centres
Location was very nice, excellent view from my room, desing.
Location is Good Guest relations knowledge is very poor
every thing
I enjoyed the stay in the hotel,it was with a perfect service,and a very nice hospitality,but I recommend wifi Internet to be present in the room instead of or with the cables
One of the best Hotel I ever seen.Thank you Enrico
The library ,and the spa and of course the security
the staff were very fast and helpful. the hotel rooms are clean and size is fair for short stay. the internet is expensive and for the full rate should be free. room service food quality was dissapointing. for ahigh rate luxery hotel, a bath rope is standard, the marriot should add to all rooms
In Jordan hotels at check-in all the luggages are scanned - this is very good and make us feel safe.
Everything seeemed to be in running order. The room was not always in full order after the cleaning. No wi-fi in the rooms.
I liked the service which was very fast. The staff was polite and curtious. They understood our demands which is rear.
There was avery large party one night. It appeared to be a very expensive party of influental people. The noise was extremely loud in my ninth-floor room. The staff moved me to a room on the other side of the hotel that was quiet. Several guests were upset about the noise. Also, the temperature in the rooms is centrally controlled and is kept too warm.
It was nice stay in Marriott Hotel - Amman, also the rate was very good compare to the hotel facilities and luxury . It was Fantastic Hotel
every thing was execllent. I felt as if I was at home.
The stay was so good and the hotel is a real 5 starts Hotel. Internet is highly expensive comparable to Jordan's reputation in advanced internect connection, meaning it should be the cheapest in the region.
Room service is very slow make call several time to fullfil your request Location is remote and not friendly
I frequently travel and this was one of the worst experiences I had. Extremely rude management, that refuses to accommodate even the simplest request (look up my Marriott rewards number). I recommend staying at the Intercon next time.
The service at the hotel was horrible. 1) The pool was simply closed off till next summer. 2) i went in person to the front desk on at least 3 different occasions in 2 days and asked for a blanket and still never got it. 3) The thermostat and one of the phones were all smudged and dirty. 4) We had to ask for shampoo and shower gel because it wasn't placed in the room. the list goes on and on and on.
The fact that I lost two kilos in weight from food poisoning Where do I begin torn sheets .sickening food rattling air con dirty room the sound of jack hammers rude staff food poisoning no view
The reservation made through booking.com went through smoothly and as selected on the website. You have to wait in line to check in!
Location is very convenient, the very center of the city. Helpful hotel staff. We had some discrepancy between the final bill and tariff quoted at reservation, possibly because of the exchange rate. Had to argue about it a bit.
I liked the design, the room was nice and spacious, also there was allways some fruits, the view, the SPA, ecspecially the indoor pool was perfect for swimming and relaxing.
The staff, the resturant, the location. The hotel is a bet old, pillows and sheets very old, the bed were not comfortable, the barbershop were too expensive with low quality.
I liked the nice ambience in the rooms and in the lobby.
There is no any free time to the internet for guset such as business center or in the rooms , its all in charge .
It was Club Room, so exclusive check in and free use of Club Lounge I thought bathroom a bit short on amenities
Food at the Lebanese restaurant. Handling of complaint. A little disorganised
clean and comfortable
I didn't like much about the hotel, amman overall is a horrible place to visit there is not much to do in the city, you are better off finding a cheaper hotel to get the same horrible service. Well first off it took over an hour and a half to check me in, I made my reservation two days in advance, once I finally got my room key at 4am the room they gave me had some one in it!!! I have heard of this at small hotels but not sonething I would expect here. The service is sub par, the hotel is full of guys not one girl works including the housekeepers which is a little weird, the food sucks and is way overpriced, they have a bar but you can't go in unless you bring a girl. This place overall is just horrible, save your money I'm sure all the other hotels in Amman are this way but at least you won't have the sting of the high price tag.
Heat was working even though i had it on A, the Heating was very loud
everything is ok accept 2 things price is not as in site they add 20 jod they said tax per night and its very noisy there is constractions in high floors from 8am start diging till afternoon it was so bad noisey noisey noisy
The breakfast & swimming pool Hall between rooms it is an ols hotel need to renew many things or upgrade!
suited for business trip
The room was spacious, the beds were big
Service was great, we were upgrade with our room, food was great.Free internet.
The staff were excellent and service could not be faulted. There were no means to book tours.
Good facilities, but distant from the city center. The bar services needs some improvements.
The location was why we chose the hotel, but the service and facilities made it a pleasure. It is by far the best choice for Petra. (It's proximity to the ruins makes it worth the small price differential between it and other hotels)
it is relatively a quite clean hotel with nice staff.
The hotel has an excellent location in the center of town city and also between all 5 stars in the city. my stay was a weekend stay. The hotel had big rooms and nice view. with a reasonable price. good service,
Rooms are spacious. Good and friendly service generally (and usually). I had the longest check in ever; 30mins, too long for a 2am check-in! They quoted me a higher price than originally booked. The room was smelly so they downgraded me, and I didn't get the promised upgrade for the rest of my stay. During check-out the price in my invoice was higher. I was then charged again on my credit card for a mistake after my departure!
The staff were all very friendly and helpful
Location and service Staff not always attentive, Baby cot was very poor
Probably, the best of Sheraton Hotels I've ever visited. Since the first moment i checked-in till the last moment i checked-out. Absolutely amazing staff, caring, asking me at every chance if i need anything or if i have any compalints. When I asked them to help me on something they gave full attention and they gave me the best alternative. there was nothing i didnt like in the hotel.
As a frequent traveler I have not noticed services out of the ordinary other hotel offer. In fact I had to visit Four Seasons to use their swimming pool as yours was not available. I was impressed with their facility. It seems that some of your managers lack the experience and courtesy to deal with guests (for an example arguing and assuming I am a naive person). One of the most irritating experience that with every service that I request the server demanded a tip (not verbally, but with body language), practically I had to pay almost about 40% of my bill as tips. The hotel has two swimming pool non of them was available
quality was as I would expect from a sheraton
Club rm are very nice and coosy
Very nice hotel
Location was good and the hotel have all functions but unfortunately the services were not upto Sheraton as we all know. With this room rate I was expecting better than this. The services over all does not reflect Sheraton as a world class hospitality brand. I strongly recommend more intensive training sessions for the hotel GM and the rest of staff on how to treat multi national guests.
The room was excellent . The internet is too expensive , 5JD / hour or 17 JD/day is too much I think.
No thanks Please write at least 15 words No thing
staff very helpful
Generally good end to end The cleanness of the WC and the less kits for washroom abd food
When we arrived, they claimed the reservation was canceled, then they provided a room. I would not know why such thing would happen.
1- the rate that is shown on booking.com doesn't include anything beside accomdation which where not stated at all when booking.. ( no access to anything .. no breakfest... everything u need to do at the hotel is done for extra very premium charges) 2- the exchange money rate at the hotel is complete a robbery 3- standard two bed rooms are so small 4- no cell phone coverage on the high floors which leads on using the room land line phone to make calls (again each phone call charges are at very premium prices)
Location of the hotel. Breakfast buffet was not that great.
cheap 5 stars and good location internet service usage, not 5 stars in cleanness
Clean, Good services, excellent staff, quiet. Excellent location. Expensive and breakfast was decidedly average. If breakfast was not free, no one would pay for it.
Location has to be more wellcomed !!
Room comfort, staff at reception, the staff at breakfast restaurant were not enough, so the servise was a little slow and not ver prompt although they were very polite.
Quite honestly the cleanest, most friendly hotel I have ever stayed at. I am from NC, USA and this place was definitely worth the $. it is very expensive but you wouldnt get that kind of service and perfection anywhere else. the spa is amazing, the pool has an amazing view.
i stayed in the hotel for 5 days & i wasnt happy at all it realy doesnt deserve the 5 stars
Room is spacious, lobby is nice and breakfast buffet is excellent. Bathrooms need renovation.
the hotel not like befor
The beds & specially the pillows were very comfortable. A welcome rest after a long flight into Amman. The service at the French quarter pub was not great.
It was very good..staff very good.We wanted Chinese food and there was a convention in the restaurant...so they accommodated us in the buffet restaurant and let us order from the Chinese menu and brought it to us The hotel was too hot
I was very pleased to stay at holiday inn in amman where I used to gother my collegues and friend.its site is very helpfull and easy to reach. I wish to have a daily paper
Nothing Everything
Leaving The bathroom was filthy, the room smelled of smoke, there were mulitiple weddings with loud music, unruly guests until wee hours, I asked for an internet cable upon checkin-again with bell boy-and again walked down and asked at front desk for a cable. They told me they will have one sent right up! I never did get a cable!! No inroom drinking water supplied. Bar staff so rude, I left!
noyhing at all is not how i a expect . the staff (reseption) thy are not organaiz & thy have apoor recpond .
swimming pool The hotel were woundering about the price i got and they were not helpfull in thier service. I had to change my sweet due to so many problems in water, electrical and air conditioning systems.
Very clean and new hotel, great customer service and great vale for what i paid- if i go to Jordan again I plan to stay there We were on the 1st floor so whenever there is a wedding party you could hear some noise but not too much however if you want an absolutely quite room ask for a room on 2nd floor or higher The gym hours for men are not practical it is only open for men from 8pm to 11:30 pm which did not work for me at all, for for women is is great form 8am to 8pm
It was all good, staff very friendly, spa is nice ,gym nice equipment, good trainer nice view , lobby is spacious
very friendly staff. location is good, just 5-10 min away from all the noise and the busy parts of the city. good gym even for the moderate athlete.
Hotel guests are required to pass thru an x-ray machine for security purposes. Unless they look trustworthy, wear a uniform (military/police), or travel in groups. Items that set off the x-ray portal are not investigated. Useless security item....
The breakfast was good I booked royal club but they told me there is a mistake in the booking web site
rooms aigned to me were old
Spacious rooms very poor entertainment system, the TV chanels was'nt clear all the time an they only had the free chanels no decent movie chanels were available. The internet system was'nt working also.
Good location No value for money and 40% cheaper rates than booking.com when locally booked tv channels bad: mbc2 frozen picture for 3 days, Deutsche Welle distorted sound. When I checked in, antenna cable was defective, had to be replaced.
Spacious nice room, nice breakfast. Upon arrival we upgraded to the Royal Club, we traveled with a kid and got babycot installed in the room while we enjoyed snacks at the royal lounge. Nice lobby area with live piano - sat there and played chess while listening to the music Major roadworks on the key road coming to the hotel - car navigation system was hardly a help during the last mile. Maybe a map on the web site would be a help
lobby no
The high level of services, breakfast and the typical eastern hospitality that allow you to feel pampered and relaxed.
The bath are not clean in the rooms and old
The location is perfect. Nice rooms, clean, easy to park the car Security checking is irritating, no free wifi, swiing pool was not open.
the location of the hotel the room service was really bad. the sheets had some blood stains when i arrived and the pillows were extremly not comfortable. for a five star hotel they should have other types of pillows. The room service said to me they are all out and we can not get you another type
nothing every thing starting from the reception
The location was good
location,food & staff helpness. too much security check at the entrance every time.
Very nice place to stay, the location is wonderful very close to most restaurants, cafes, and lots of other services, just walking distances I had to pay 30% extra charge for the breakfast as taxes, this is really too much, it was 16% city tax and 14 % service charge. In addition, the internet should be free
Very poor erea. Not very clean. Extremely dated.
Excellent service, spacious room, very nice lounging area around the pool, view over the city Room only available at 12 (was announced, but was hoping could get it earlier)
Hotel staff are very nice, friendly and supportive The hotel did not meet my expectations from Kempinski chain of hotels. I have been to Kempinski hotels in Europe and other countries but i did not find this hotel matching other Kempinski hotels. I found that the hotel furniture needs renovation although i made an upgrade to an executive room.
Hotel Staff, breakfast, game room & pool.
cleaniness the pillows are not comfotrable
very good staff Bathroom quality very bad,,,
I have gotten a good welcome specially the welcome drink.Another thing is the internet is completely free of charge which I thought is subject to an expensive charge. I think yuo should take a better photos for hotel's room.The hotel needs more refubrshment.
Nothing Nothing
Housekeeping staff was efficient, services provided were quick. Breakfast buffet was average, hardly anybody spoke English making it difficult to communicate. And I found the bathroom to be very shabby, not suitable for a 5-star hotel.
Water did not work in the morning. The internet also did not work in the morning. Difficult to get taxis. Difficult to exchange money.
The rooms were spacious. That is about all. the furniture is believed to be older than king tut. the hall ways need new carpets. The area where you eat breakfast is chaos. Oh, and i found a hair in the fried egg tray which is longer than my index finger!!! the hotel has no facilities whatsoever. The people who rated this five-star must have been blind or have not paid a visit a long ime ago. It is a 3-star -with luck!
Location Service and response can be significantly improved
Staff are very helpfull, Traders Vic Resturant is enjoyable The price of the Hotel's room is expensive comparing to other Hotels in Amman

Her hair was silvery, and contrasted strangely with her swart face.
Sihamba called upon her people to follow, but they would not, for they feared to meet swart Piet in the open.
"We hear you, husband," they said again, whereon swart Piet turned and rode away.
The thongs about the neck of the swart Bigbeam had become undone, and her normal front filled all the window's broad interior.
"Time is done," said swart Piet, replacing the watch in his pocket.
Now they come up into the wood, and find swart slain, and bear him home.

Old English sweart "black," from Proto-Germanic *swartaz (cf.

The true Germanic word for "black," surviving in the Continental languages.
