Other performers at the event include Jason Derulo, Jordin Sparks, The Wanted, Ne-Yo and Mary J. Blige.
Demi Lovato took the stage at the Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade. The singer treated the crowd at Disneyland in Anaheim, California with the live rendition of "Let It Go", the soundtrack of animated movie "Frozen (2013)".
The former judge of "The X Factor (US)" sported blue hair and minimal make-up when singing the song, which was originally recorded by Idina Menzel. With blue skies above and her beautiful voice, the 21-year-old star gave fans an unforgettable performance.
The Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade was taped several weeks ago, but it was aired on ABC on Wednesday, December 25. The event also featured appearances from Jason Derulo, Jordin Sparks, The Wanted, Ne-Yo, Mary J. Blige and the stars of "Teen Beach Movie", among others.
Derulo and girlfriend Sparks looked perfect together when performing "Baby It's Cold Outside". Max George and other members of The Wanted sang "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" in front of a beautiful castle.

Steve Finch
Steven Harry Finch
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 6' 3", Weight 160 lb.
- High School Cordova High School
- Born March 9, 1958 in Escondido, CA USA
Biographical Information[edit]
Pitcher Steve Finch was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 2nd round of the 1976 amateur draft, but never made the majors. His best minor league season was in 1977, when he was 15-5, 2.92 for the Asheville Tourists of the Western Carolinas League. However, he was likely overused that year, as he hurt his arm the following season and never had good strikeouts numbers afterwards; he had struck out 193 in 191 innings for Asheville. He pitched 7 seasons in AAA, from 1980 to 1986, but usually had very high ERAs. In 1985, however, he was 8-7, 4.11 for the Edmonton Trappers, which was quite good in the high-octane hitting environment of the Pacific Coast League.
On December 12, 1980, he was traded by the Texas Rangers with Richie Zisk, Brian Allard, Rick Auerbach, Ken Clay, and Jerry Don Gleaton to the Seattle Mariners for Rick Honeycutt, Mario Mendoza, Larry Cox, Leon Roberts, and Willie Horton. Of the 10 players involved in the deal, Finch was the only one not to play in the major leagues.

Smart Gun Supporters Say NRA Is Obstacle
The fight over technologically advanced smart guns is continuing. Supporters say they would be safer and even cut down on suicides because they'd be programmed with technology that would allow only the owner of the gun to fire it. They also say the NRA doesn't want them sold here in the United States (should they ever be ready for the market). But opponents say there's something else going on.
You have no interest in owning them.
Patrick Woods of Spring Guns and Ammo says they've tried to sell technologically advanced guns before, and it hasn't gone well.
"There was so little interest. I don't think people trust a gun with computer integration," Woods said.
Mike Clark of Collector's Firearms told KTRH he won't consider selling them. Clark says he doesn't buy the argument that they are safer.
"There are circumstances where people would need to use a gun, and if it's programmed for someone else to use it, then it would be worthless," Clark explained.
And both Woods and Clark say cost will be a big problem, too. These guns could cost in the thousands of dollars. Woods and Clark both saying the price would put many of you out of the market.
"People are always surprised to hear that even a moderately priced firearm is in the $500-$800 range," Woods stated.

Poetry, too; harsh and grim poetry, often, but the real thing.
Old English grimm "fierce, cruel, savage, dire, painful," from Proto-Germanic *grimmaz (cf. Old Saxon, Old Frisian, Old High German, German grimm, Old Norse grimmr, Swedish grym "fierce, furious"), from PIE *ghrem- "angry," perhaps imitative of the sound of rumbling thunder (cf. Greek khremizein "to neigh," Old Church Slavonic vuzgrimeti "to thunder," Russian gremet' "thunder").
A weaker word now than once it was; sense of "dreary, gloomy" first recorded late 12c. It also had a verb form in Old English, grimman (class III strong verb; past tense gramm, p.p. grummen). Old English also had a noun, grima "goblin, specter," perhaps also a proper name or attribute-name of a god, hence its appearance as an element in place names.
Grim reaper as a figurative way to say "death" is attested by 1847 (the association of grim and death goes back at least to 17c.). A Middle English expression for "have recourse to harsh measures" was to wend the grim tooth (early 13c.).

The Motorola®
GTX Index Page
Maintained By Robert W. Meister WA1MIK
The GTX is a series of Motorola handheld and mobile radios that were marketing-positioned as entry-level units. The next steps up were the Saber handhelds and the Spectra mobiles, both of which have their own pages at this web site.
The GTX series is fairly unique in that they were made for 800 MHz and 900 MHz only, while the Maxtrac series that were made about the same time were available in five different bands from 30 through 900 MHz. Make sure you check the 4th character of the model number for the proper band: 800 = 'U', 900 = 'W'. Don't end up with the wrong frequency range.
GTX radios transmit and receive signals that are 5 kHz wide on 800 MHz. On 900 MHz, the bandwidth is only 2.5 kHz. This can NOT be changed in software. There's no "switch" or any mode-specific setting. You might be able to increase the transmit modulation level by adjusting the radio and/or modifying it. The receiver's bandwidth is controlled by small bandpass filters that are not easily replaced.
GTX radios come in both mobile and handheld versions. The mobiles are either 12-15 watts or 30-35 watts. The handhelds all run around 3 watts.
GTX handheld radios are either "basic" (no display or keypad on the front) or "standard" (with display and keypad on the front). All GTX mobile radios have a display.
GTX radios are sold as either Privacy Plus (PP) or LTR. These are slightly different trunking system formats and as far as amateur use is concerned, it doesn't really matter which radio you have. One of the benefits of either format is that you can't listen in on (or monitor) other conversations not intended for you. Conventional channels are NOT private.
The LCS2000 and LTS2000 are sexier-looking versions of the GTX mobile and handheld radios, respectively. The older service manuals covered these models; the newer ones do not. Naturally, they also use different programming software.
It seems that many of the part numbers for GTX products are No Longer Available (NLA) and have been replaced with newer numbers. If you need parts for a GTX radio, call Motorola Parts ID and get the updated part number before panicking.
The GTX Model Number String
The model number will be found on a sticker underneath mobile radios or on the rear of handheld radios behind the battery. It is always 12 characters in length, but the descriptions are broken up into two tables to fit the web page. The tables contain all possible values for both handheld and mobile radios.
A typical model number for a 900 MHz P/P handheld radio with display and keypad is
A typical model number for a 900 MHz 12-watt P/P mobile radio is M11WGD4CB1AN.

I love jazz and I love Japanese food. It seemed Yoshi's would be a natural choice for where to celebrate my birthday. With new chef Sho Kamio on the scene, and after reviewing their menu, I was so stoked.
Well, we got there at we were treated horribly. I'd reserved for eight but only seven of us could show. I told the hostesses that and they seemed confused. We got there early for our 8:00PM reservation but they refused to seat us untila majority of our party was there. With five of seven people, they refused to seat us and did their damned best to ignore us as they seated other, more affluent looking parties.
To make a long story short, we were finally seated after a very non-nonsense demand on my part (after being polite for the last half hour and seeing a party of 6 being seated, I was quite unhappy), we were seated.
The service was very spotty but as this is Chowhound, I'll focus on the food which was d e l i c i o u s. I knew what I wanted after looking at the menu -- the gindara, miso-marinated black cod served with a pressed rice cake. Among the other dishes sampled that night included the jewel box tartare, beef tataki, beef nigiri and mounds of sushi. A friend of mine ordered the kurobuta pork but was told later that they were out and she'd have to order something else. (She opted for the gindara.)
I liked the gindara, myself. It was beautifully cooked and carmelized; just cooked through while still moist and flaky. PERFECT! I would have preferred more though; the portion was much too small. My friend (who had originally ordered kurobuta) liked it but she prefers Kirala's version.
The beef tataki was so absolutely stunningly delicious that my husband couldn't believe it. Too bad there wasn't more of it, he lamented. My other friends looked to enjoy their jewelry box tartare and spicy tuna millefuielle, respectively.
I took care to ask whether their toro was 'otoro' or 'chu-toro' and was informed that it was indeed 'otoro'. Stoked, I ordered 'otoro' nigiri with the hopes that, if it was good, that I'd be ordering the toro sashimi. It was otoro but tasted more like regular maguro -- not marbled enough. Needless to say, I didn't follow up with an order of toro sashimi.
"Too small" was the evening's theme in regards to portions. Though the sushi was quite reasonably priced as were the appetizers, we all agreed that all the entrees were TOO SMALL for the price as we all left hungry. I know that for so-called "good food", you could expect to pay a lot for a little but this was an example of the price to food portion ratio being extremely unbalanced. The gindara was $21; for the amount of food given, I would have expected more around the lines of $15 ~ 17 to be more reasonable.
On a plus side, the sake was quite good and the atmosphere was excellent. I loved the decor and the tatami room. The service (aside from the hostesses) was friendly though extremely slow. I'm willing to go back to Yoshi's again for sushi ONLY and not with a crowd if they'd make up for the less than nice treatment I recieved from their front desk hostesses.

in the DS-5 I have some pre installed FVP (e.g. VE_Cortex_A9x4). I understood these FVP are somehow related to a Virtual Express hardware platform. But I don't understand where do I get the configuration information of the FVP? E.g. if I have a Fixed Virtual Platform simulating a real world target how do I know e.g. how much memory and what peripherals are simulated?
You can find the docs that ship with DS-5 here:

GORGE-OUS: A waterfall flowing into
the gorge.
You weave through pitch-black tunnels and emerge into daylight to gaze up at waterfalls feeding into the gorge from 80m above.
It's best to go on a sunny day to see the sunbeams play off the rocks and falling water.
The power of the water is amazing – it flows down from melted glacial snow ice and snow produced by a slow-dying ice-age glacier, the Schneeferner, further up in the Alps.
Visiting the gorge is enough of a reason by itself to make a day trip from Munich.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS: The
Konigshaus am Schachen
makes a nice extension to a trip to the gorge.
Open: summer 8am to 6pm, winter 9am to 5pm.

Does anyone have the recipe for Jacques-Imo's spinach salad? It's served with your entree - very simple, just spinach, a light dressing and a fat, fried oyster. I can cook up the oysters, but how do they prepare the salad? It's very tender (maybe lightly steamed?) and the dressing may be a slightly sweet balsamic. I had a great meal there Monday night, and, in addition to the alligator cheesecake, the spinach salad was delicious.
Please share if you have the recipe or any ideas. Thanks!

This article, Isla Matanceros, is property of Ten Tailed Fox.
Isla Matanceros is a remote island about 120 miles (190 km) off the west coast of the Land of Mountains. There are steam vents in many places, and the ground is often hot underfoot. Because of this, and also because of prevailing currents, Isla Matanceros lies in a foggy area. Isla Matanceros was going to to be the site of first natural preserve created by the Sons of Darkness, a tourist attraction featuring living biological tailed beasts. After Hurricane Clarissa hit the island, followed by a raid by Yamagakure 2, all personnel were evacuated from the island and the facilities were later abandoned. The northern region appeared to be much more tropical than the south, possibly due to mountains keeping as much moisture from reaching the south.
It was said to have been originally a large volcano that blew its top. Access to the island was restricted to only a few tunnels that the water had bored into the sides of the large mountain sides that protected the island.

Florida Muslim arrests were mistake
Authorities in Florida have admitted they got it wrong when they detained three Muslim men for 17 hours for being suspected terrorists.
Now the authorities have admitted their conversation was not about terrorism and that CCTV footage has shown they did in fact stop and pay the toll.
The whole incident has angered Muslims, who have not ruled out taking legal action on the men's behalf.
Police swooped
The video footage just released shows the three men driving normally and stopping to pay the toll just before being surrounded by police and arrested.
Originally officers in Florida had said the men had been overheard in a diner by a customer plotting a terrorist attack on Miami.
Police say their car was then spotted driving at high speed through toll booths without paying.
But the video now disproves that.
The arrest of the men last week gripped America.
They were held for 17 hours while 600 policemen were drafted into the area. National television even carried live pictures of their car being searched by sniffer dogs and robots.
A bag was taken out and blown up but nothing was found and the men were released without charge.
Muslim anger
For Muslim groups, the police's admission has come too late.
Speaking at a news conference, Altaf Ali, chairman of the Council on American Islamic Relations, says the whole incident was a complete over-reaction based on stereotypes. He has not ruled out legal action.
The students - who have since been barred from the medical conference they were driving to because of the publicity - have said in a statement that as trainee doctors their aim in life is to help people, not hurt them.

It was a key part of the story that Harry Potter be sorted into Gryffindor when he arrived at Hogwarts, but have you ever imagined what would have happened if he'd been sent to another house? Would he have gone bad in Slytherin and helped the Death Eaters take over with Voldemort? And what about Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff?
Now you get to choose which house becomes Harry's home in this series of comics. Head on over to Dorkly where you can see how differently things would have gone if Harry hadn't been a Gryffindor.

Following a 23-day layoff to observe the Christmas holiday, the Brevard College men's basketball team will resume the 2008-09 season at the 38th Annual Marietta Shrine Tournament, hosted December 29 and 30 by Marietta College. Fans who can't make the trip to Marietta, Ohio can follow all of the action on BCTornados.com.
The Tornados will face the Emory & Henry College Wasps in the tournament's opening game, Monday, December 29 at 6 p.m. Following the conclusion of the opener, the host Marietta College Pioneers will square off with the Westminster College Titans at approximately 8 p.m. The Tournament will conclude on Tuesday, December 30, as the previous day's losers will play at 6 p.m. and the winners will face off for the championship at approximately 8 p.m.
This is the first time Brevard College has ever played in the Marietta Shrine Tournament. Brevard has never played Emory & Henry, Marietta or Westminster. The Tornados are 4-2 (0-1 South Atlantic Conference) following their last game, a 65-48 defeat to SAC rival Tusculum.
Both Brevard games will be broadcast live on WSQL AM-1240 in Brevard and around the world at www.wsqlradio.com. Rob Walden, the Voice of the Tornados, will handle play-by-play for both games, with the pregame show starting 30 minutes before tip-off on both Monday and Tuesday. Marietta will also offer a live broadcast of their game against Westminster, which can be accessed by clicking here. Live statistics for all four games of the tournament can be found here. Fans can learn more about the 38th Annual Marietta Shrine Tournament and the history of the tournament at its official website, which will be available as the tournament draws closer.
The Wasps, coached by Paul Russo, come into the tournament sporting a 5-4 (0-2 Old Dominion Athletic Conference) record. Emory & Henry fell to Randolph Macon in their last game, 111-92, on December 6. The up-tempo squad averages 91.8 points per game, which comes in sharp contrast to the 61.2 ppg averaged by Coach Michael Jones' squad. Emory & Henry boasts five players who average double figures, including swingman Robert Hudson, who leads the way with 15.3 ppg, and forward Kyle Huckins, whose 13.6 ppg comes by making an impressive 67.9% of his field goal attempts.
Coach John VanderWal leads the Pioneers into the tournament with a 4-5 (1-3 Ohio Athletic Conference) record. Marietta snapped a three-game losing skid with a 70-69 squeaker over OAC foe Heidelberg on December 20. Trevor Halter leads the Pioneers with 13.2 ppg and has made 35.9% of his three-point field goal attempts.
Larry Ondako's Westminster squad comes in with a 1-9 (1-1 President's Athletic Conference) mark, but the Titans have momentum after grabbing their first win of the season on December 20, a 92-80 win over Thomas More. Forward Ryne Murray has put the Titans on his back so far, averaging 20.4 ppg, 8.5 rpg and 2.5 apg through ten contests, all best on the team.
Brevard has already matched their win total from a season ago through just six games. Junior forward Jonathan Whitson has been a beast for Brevard so far, averaging 17.8 ppg and 10.0 rpg, both best on the team. Reserve forward Sam Carlisle is second to Whitson in scoring, chipping in 8.5 ppg, while senior Joseph Chilton is second in rebounding, pulling down 6.5 rpg.
As a team Brevard has dominated the glass, outrebounding their opponents by more than a dozen bards per game. The Tornados will look to shoot better to spark momentum not only for the Marietta tournament but also for the grueling SAC season ahead; Brevard has connected on just 27.4% of their trifectas through the first half dozen contests.
The 413-mile sojourn from Brevard to Marietta is the longest road trip for Jones & Co. since joining NCAA Division II in 2006-07. The two games in Ohio are the only contests of the season for Brevard against NCAA Division III competition; all three foes at the tournament are members of the NCAA's non-scholarship classification.

Are you 90+? 07/22/2009
I would like to contact computer-active 90+ year olds. The goal of forming such a group would be to interchange ideas, physical and mental feelings, etc. If you are such a surfer, or know one, please spread this word so that we may be able to reach those who would benefit from such a group. I have created a blog to help you to attain this objective. In order to communicate, post comments on this blog that I have created. I will be checking and responding to this blog daily. In this way, I hope to be able to interchange information with other nonegenarians- and even the medical profession- about living as a nonegenarian in the 21st century.

By Rick Dela Cruz
2nd Lt. Drew Dela Cruz will earn his Silver Wings at graduation on Dec. 13 from the Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training Class 13 At Columbus AFB, Mississippi.
The 52-week pilot training program begins with a six-week preflight phase of academics and physiological training to prepare students for flight. The second phase, primary training, is conducted in the single-engine turboprop T-6A Texan II at Columbus AFB, Miss. Students learn aircraft flight characteristics, emergency procedure, takeoff and landing procedures, aerobatics and formation flying. Students also practice night, instrument and cross country navigation flying. Primary training takes approximately 23 weeks and includes more than 250 hours of ground training, 27-plus hours in the flight simulator and more than 90 hours in the T-6A aircraft.
After primary training, students select, by order of merit, advanced training in the fighter-bomber or airlift-tanker track. Both are designed to best train pilots for successful transition to their follow-on aircraft and mission.
Dela Cruz was selected to train for the airlift-tanker which uses the T-1A Jayhawk. Instruction centers on new coordination and management, instrument training, cross-country flying and simulated refueling and air drop missions. Training takes about six weeks and includes approximately 185 hours of ground training, 43 hours in the flight simulator and about 104 hours in the T1A.
Following his graduation, Dela Cruz will spend three weeks of survival training at Fairchild AFB, in Spokane, Wash., and water survival training in Pensacola, Fla., then on to his next official assignment yet to be decided.
Dela Cruz is a 2007 graduate of Oak Ridge High School and a 2012 graduate from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Co. He is the son of Rick Dela Cruz and Jill E. Powers and has a younger brother Cory, also an ORHS grad, who is attending San Diego State University.
Congratulations to Lieutenant Dela Cruz! As someone with one flight logged as PIC in an old North American [A]T-6/PNJ I had to check on the PT-6A and was gratified to find that Lt. Cruz has mastered the far newer T-6A, a derivative of the Pilatus PC-9. This is a step that leads directly to state-of-the-art military aircraft. Aside from aircraft, Lt. Dela Cruz is serving our nation. I am a civilian, and I salute Lt. Dela Cruz with my hand over my heart.Reply

Watch the amazing moment this deaf woman hears for the very first time
After having an operation to install cochlear ear implants, this woman can now hear for the first time in her life.
Astonishing story. Born without hearing, Joanne Milne has cochlear implants, experiences all sound for the first time at age 40. Think about that. Seriously. Let it sink in, you're 40 and you never heard Luke Bryan or Prince or the WVU Marching Band or Nirvana or the Beatles. Ever. A friend has made her a playlist to introduce her to music. One song from every year of her life.

Tween and Teenage Girls' Mood Swings: 5 Tips for Parents
I am one of those lucky moms that her daughter is not a drama queen nor did she have too many mood swings during puberty. She is just like me at her age, but don't tell her that! Don't ask me why this part of puberty did not faze the both of us as much as other teens. I really wish I had a miracle answer to give you; however, I am living these mood swings with my 15 year old son and enjoying the fluctuation of his testosterone hormones, but that's a totally different story all together! Of course I still read on the subject of teen girl's mood swings when she was in her tween, so I would be prepared for the outburst of emotions. Thinking back to my high school years also helped remember the times when my friends would be totally stressed out, very moody, irritable, and could snap at you at one moment and hug you the next minute.
I would like to share 5 tips that I think will definitely help you address mood swings in tween and teenage girls.
1. Exercise
Encourage your daughter to exercise on a regular basis. When you exercise, your body produces more beta-endorphine, a hormone that actually controls stress and improves mood. Make it a family time and head out to the local swimming pool, go for a bike ride, take fitness or yoga classes, or just a jog around the block.
2. Sleep
Make sure she is getting enough sleep. When someone is too tired, it can lead to more irritability and mood swings. The National Sleep Foundation mentions that:
Teens need about 9 1/4 hours of sleep each night to function best (for some, 8 1/2 hours is enough). Most teens do not get enough sleep — one study found that only 15% reported sleeping 8 1/2 hours on school nights.
They also stipulate that it's important to:
Establish a bed and wake-time and stick to it, coming as close as you can on the weekends. A consistent sleep schedule will help you feel less tired since it allows your body to get in sync with its natural patterns. You will find that it's easier to fall asleep at bedtime with this type of routine.
Don't eat, drink, or exercise within a few hours of your bedtime. Don't leave your homework for the last minute. Try to avoid the TV, computer, and telephone in the hour before you go to bed. Stick to quiet, calm activities, and you'll fall asleep much more easily!
3. Hormones
Hormonal changes are partially to blame for mood swings and irritability, but it should not be a valid reason for your daughter to lose it and be disrespectful. Yes, it's understandable that adolescence is a time of physical, intellectual, emotional, and social changes that build the bridge between childhood and adulthood. During this time, it's important to teach your teenage daughter to control her actions and words as she cannot control her mood. She has the right to feel sad, angry, and even lonely, but there is a proper way to express her feelings to her surroundings and this is the time for you as a parent to help her cope with her emotions, anguish, and anxieties. Having her count to 10 before she outbursts is a good start by settling down for a few moments, especially if she's feeling angry or irritable.
4. Activities
Get her involved in some activities or project where she can get creative like art, dance, painting, music, or simply by writing a journal or diary thus to help her express her feelings and organize her thoughts.
5. Could be more than just mood swings
You know your daughter more than anyone else, therefore when she is moody or feel irritable you can detect that's it's due to being a teenage girl. If she seems not to be herself at all, not showing a care for anything or anyone, and just not enjoying life or dealing with family and friends, this could mean more than just mood swings and more like depression. If you are concerned with your daughter's health and mental state, don't hesitate to contact your family doctor for a throughout evaluation to diagnostic depression.
As parents, we have to remember that the puberty is not an easy stage of life for our daughters, so we should take the time to actually step into their shoes. Since babies aren't born with their very own manual (how that would make a parent's life easier), it takes a lot of patience, understanding and most of all love to raise a child and even more a teenager.

All great tips, the tween and teenage stage can be a challenge when it comes to moods but we just have to be patient and support our kids while they are dealing with all the changes that are causing the majority of these moods!
I totally agree Judy! Patience and support:)
All of these are great tips! I'd add that as hard as it is, a good tip is to remind yourself not to take their mood swings personally!
yes, that is another great tip! If you do, it can lead to many confrontations that are unnecessary.
Oh, you are so lucky. I get a headache just thinking back about those times
yes, I am a very lucky parent! Thanks for commenting:)
I really appreciate these tips. My nine year-old girls are challenging these days and I am going to look at all these aspects of their lives to see if we need to make some changes for the better :).
Hi Lyne! I just finished the tween years, and have just started the teen years. My eldest is not a drama queen, either. She's very calm, a total 180 degree turn form what I was like! These tips were great! I guess, if I had any other tips would be to let your daughter know that you are here to listen, and to help, not solve their problems for them. Sometimes, my daughter needs an ear or advice to help her moodiness (the few times she was moody). Thanks for these tips!
Great tip Lian! Lucky you too!
My kids are grown now and left the nest but these tips are right on
Thanks,I have passed this along to my who is raising 3 teen girls
All great tips for sure,a lovely photo …oh my they grow way too fast

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
the atmosfer was very good
The decoration and size of the room plus the food is always of a high standard and something a little bit different. There was a function booked in for that evening and I got the impression that had we not managed to get the last table for dinner at the bar, we wouldn't have been able to eat there.As residents, I feel that they should always be made to feel that they can eat in the hotel.
Excellent.. We very much enjoyed our stay and very much appreciated the flowers and champagne that the hotel arranged for our wedding anniversary.. Thank you very much.
Very relaxing stay, the food was really good and the room was great. It's a shame we were only able to stay one night! One of our bathroom towels smelt quite strongly of sick - the smell hit you as you walked into the room.
The hotel was excellent, just as the website showed. The price of the hotel food and drink was very good which meant that we stayed in more than we went out. The chef(s) was/were excellent too as the food was always well presented and cooked to perfection. We paid for a suite which was smaller than the deluxe room that our friends had! This was certainly a trick of the camera as the suites on the internet looked so much bigger. This wasn't a case of mines bigger than yours but we did feel a little cheated as we had paid 25% more for the priviledge. Also we all felt that there were time that the staff (bar staff in particular) were pushing us to spend more on wine or were closing earlier than we would have liked. We appreciate that staff have homes to go to but snuffing candles out at 10:00pm whilst we were in the bar was a little too apparent.
Lovely room, very warm friendly atmosphere, beautiful setting would definately recommend
Good food, friendly and attentive staff
Attentiveness of staff and quiet atmosphere gave a very pleasant ambience. Room and en suite bathroom were of a very high standard. Food was good though not of gourmet standard. The number of electrical/electronic switches in our room was most confusing. With no lounge separate from the bar, It was very difficult to find somewhere to read where there was sufficient light, quiet and comfortable easy-chairs. Meat helpings were over the top.
Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff The lights in the bedroom weren't sufficient - just a bit too dark.
The hotel was very good. All the staff were very attentive, especially in the Renoir Restaurant. They kindly helped us celebrate our 40th Wedding anniversay on July 4th, with a complimentary glass of champagne. Please pass on our thanks and also to the chef and kitchen staff. We thought the food was really very good. Our only minor complaint is that the toilet in the bathroom did not flush very easily, so the handle had to be pumped several times. Waste of water!!
The setting, and quality of the hotel Cooked breakfast, cold
Very pleasant stay.hotel improvin.would recommend
breakfast and Sunday lunch
I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and the peace and quite. I only ate one evening meal at the hotel and it was very tasty. Breakfasts were excellent. And the golf course was well presented (short) but worthy.
There is not one particular thing I liked as I liked it all! Just amazing place and staff, will be going back and taking some friends for a spa weekend. I am suprised it has not been awarded 5* I spend a lot of time in hotels all over the country and abroad due to work, not many hotels meet my expectations and offer what they advertise on internet but this hotel is by far the best I have stayed in.
This is a modern hotel with well equipped large rooms that are nicely decorated. The leisure facilities are good and the public areas comfortable with good service
Poor English of dining room and bar staff
Room was fine but the plumbing needs upgrading Breakfast was average
Very clean and newly refurnished high quality hotel. Lovely grounds. I had a most enjoyable stay. All the staff were most courteous and welcoming. Good food in Renoir restaurant. Some of the connecting parts of the hotel and dining rooms were rather cold (during a very cold winter spell in February). Some of the breakfast food was not as hot as expected.
The bed was excellent Front office staff poor. We booked a cab 24 hours in advance and they failed to get it there for us. We had to ask four times and finally they called for another cab company. We had a problem with the bill and instead of informing us so we could correct i
We stayed in a basic room which was sub standard - no TV or working radio & was situated next to staff quarters. There was constant noise from these rooms. The reception & dininig /breakfast area had however been refurbished.
The staff could not be any friendlier! The room was great, with a sunken bath and huge comfortable bed. The location is superb, right in the heart of town, with easy access to fantastic shopping and restaurants. No
Staff were very friendly and helpful food was lovely Some of the fittings in the bathroom were broken - the shower tap and the toilet seat didnt fit the toilet. Also the ipod dock broke and we didnt get a replacement
This hotel is AA 2 star rated i have seen worse 4 star rated hotels - room of good size & staff very friendly whilst rooms very good need a bit of tlc - most likely as near end of season
Great hotel - never knew it existed before. Close to towm excellent food... 10/10 None
Good location with excellent staff and facilities
Central position - so convenient to town. A very pleasant stay, staff were very helpful and the facilities were excellent. Thank you.
Rooms smelt of damp and collegues room had three pairs of dirty knickers in drawer
central location: parking on site: good food in house: good base for our tour around Guernsey shower fittings broken as reported on departure
The hotel ambience, the courteousness of the staff, and the great food made my stay a pleasurable and comfortable one.
the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were excellent and the hotel was ideally located.
Having stayed in hotels worldwide for business for over 40 years I knew on arrival that I would enjoy my first visit to OGH. It is rare for me to re-visit but I am very loyal and I will return. room 221 was a disappointment - 319 met expectations and I hope to book 127 next time. local knowledge is a powerful thing...
Lovely hotel with very attentive and happy staff. The booking stated all beds were queen size. This is not the case ours was a standard double in a small room
IT was conveniently located and the staff was friendly and accommodating before and during our stay. Breakfast had a lot of variety.
Only overnight on B&B basis and all facilities not therefore used
Upgrade to room with balcony and sea view was much appreciated.
Great location, very professional and caring personel, nice english style interior, fine restaurant Room far too small. The announced king size bed was certainly not larger than 140 cm. The night was uncomfortable. Maybe the upgraded rooms are in better relation with the projected standard of the hotel.
The welcome and the staff, they couldn't do enough for you and nothing was too much trouble and they made our anniversary special The location. There was a lot of noise outside on Saturday night from young locals and we didn't get a lot of sleep. However, this was no fault of the hotels.
The facilities and the breakfast both rate very high No
We could walk to the center of town in about 15 minutes, and from there, everywherein town. The bus stop just up the street from St. George's Hotel allowed us to go all over Guernsey. The full English breakfast every day was a treat! Whew! The weather was warm, but on the street level of a major street made sleeping difficult--keep the windows open for comfort or close them for noise? We tried both and neither was totally satisfactory.
Friendly helpful staff. Having bottled water in the room each day.
Great view across Cobo Bay, good food and attentive staff.
clean room, all the necessary ammenities, close proximity to the beach, friendly staff, wholesome breakfast
We recieved a very warm welcome on our arrival at the Cobo Bay Hotel, our room was clean and spacious with all the amenities you could need. Breakfast facilities were excellent and the location of this hotel can not be beaten, views over the bay are beautiful. Staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
friendly service and very helpful
I have visited Cobo Bay Hotel four times. The staff are good. It is always clean. The rooms are very well designed. The food is great. The location is next to the best Sandy Beach on the Island for Families. The views of the sea and the colour of the rocks is wonderful.
fiendliness of staff,excellent food,great location and laid back breakfast
Hot tub in the health suite was fab, just make sure you visit after 10am!
our view, location, close to beach
Great location, comfortable rooms and the staff are very attentive. An excellent place to stay on Guernsey
My room was very noisy with people talking outside at midnight and smoke drifting through the window even closed! a machine buzzed intermittently all night from the bar below , every three minutes, buzzed for 5 seconds, there was no night Staff to complain, i thought the second night would be quiter but no. I have no problem using this Hotel again, just that particular room
Very comfortable room with the best-equipped bathroom I have ever encountered. Pricey, but there wasn't much choice, and it was very comfortable. Accessible by bus from St Peter Port, but not so easy to get to other parts of the island. It is better suited to people with own transport.
Good location, not on the beach but convenient to get around. We had a hire car but you could use buses or bikes as the island is small. Friendly staff, clean, good breakfast
very relaxing atmospher.The staff were there for your needs without being intrusive. only that they would benefit from a lift.
Staff and food were excellent
Eat, drink and sleep
Enjoyable break - hotel staff, room & location excellent would go again.
Very noisy bedroom adjacent to busy road
The staff and the food were second to none. nothing was a trouble There was a noise coming into our room which the staff did their very best to put right
All of it. Very friendly yet professional. Courteous and helpful. Breakfast was good but didn't get a chance to try the carvery unfortunately.
Extremely pleasant well trained staff. Good food and comfortable bar in hotel. Rocquettes is popular with locals as well as tourists and is of a consistently good standard.
Good service in all areas of the hotel. Generally plenty of staff on duty and all very cheerful and willing to be of assistance and service.
The central location made travelling round Guernsey very convenient. The hotel facilites and staff enabled us to have a very relaxed and enjoyable holiday. There were good facilities and support for my elderly mother.
It was perfect in every way and will definitely be back
Overall it was conventient and well run The room was tradgically underwelming as was the 'new' bar and resteraunt...it does not parallel the external look of the hotel
The hotel is in an ideal location for access to St Peter Port. The staff are helpful and friendly. This is the third time we have stayed at this hotel and would recommend staying in the superior room, which are more comfortable..
Friendly helpful staff, comfortable clean enviroment
Great Staff, very pleasant and helpful
paying for towels at the pool
The helpful & friendly staff, facilities and location.
Room was clean and hotel is well-maintained. Nice choice at breakfast. No elevator
We stayed for just one night, but during that short time we sensed a friendly and welcoming feeling. The breakfast was very good and freshly cooked. Nothing
The room was love, the food was good,and the staff were excellent. Would definately revisit. Nothing
Breakfast The manager & his wife were very rude
Price and convenient location for me Room would benefit from being updated a little, but was ok
Friendly and warm Room 201 sound of water at night and light coming under door
very resonable price. free use of spa was excellent. great time spent at la trelade little bit dated decor in rooms
The size of the room and its comfort.The friendly staff. Breakfast, the parking space.
Friendly staff good food On flightpath but not that much of a bother also could hear noise from a generator or air con
The staff were very pleasant and helped us out on a number of occasions, for example sorting out an iron and ironing board, booking taxis and holding our luggage securely for us after check-out. The room and bathroom were very clean. The pool was nice. The breakfast was excellent but the restaurant staff were efficient but not very warm and quite dismissive on some occasions. We did not like that breakfast is only served until 9.30 on weekdays and 10 only on Sundays, it would be nice at least to serve until 10 on Saturdays also. The decor was pretty standard 'county hotel' style and the hotel was very clean but the furnishing and carpeting were noticeably worn, particularly in our room and the restaurant.
Very good food, clean hotel, rooms very good, lovely location.
Knowledgeable staff, friendly, great swimming pool, good fitness area. Restaurant little bit staid, but i guess its mainly for business during the week
Had a lovely time and romance abound. Very relaxing and pool and garden area very peaceful. Just wished we had stayed longer
Relaxing, no fuss good food & pleasant staff. N/A

Noted Firearms Expert Joe Biden Tells Everyone to Just "Buy a Shotgun" to Protect Themselves: "You Don't Need an AR-15. . . You Don't Need 30 Rounds to Protect Yourself" – 2/19/13 VIDEO ADDED
VIDEO ADDED – Oh my!
Noted firearms expert Vice-President Joe Biden is telling everyone that they just need to own a shotgun. I guess that settles it. No one needs a handgun or anything else – just "buy a shotgun," Joe says:
WALL STREET JOURNAL: Vice President Joe Biden said people don't need high-capacity weapons to protect themselves and that the Obama administration's efforts to reduce gun violence amount to gun safety, not gun control.
"If you want to protect yourself, get a double-barrel shotgun," Mr. Biden said Tuesday in an interview with Parents Magazine. The White House has proposed banning certain high-capacity weapons and Mr. Biden, who says he has two shotguns, said most military-style weapons aren't good for home defense.
"You don't need an AR-15," Mr. Biden said, referring to an assault-style rifle. "It's harder to aim, it's harder to use, and in fact, you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun. Buy a shotgun." . . Read More
What Joe is neglecting, of course, is that the U.S. Constitution does not say citizens can only own "shotguns," nor is it any of his business what kind of legal firearm individual citizens own to defend themselves.

Wild Animals of North America
Edward W. Nelson, American naturalist and ethnologist, penned Wild Animals of North America for the National Geographic Society over the course of two magazine issues: The November 1916 issue, which focused on Larger Mammals of North America, and the May 1918 issue, devoted to North America's smaller mammals. These issues were enhanced by famed painter Louis Agassiz Fuertes, who also illustrated the spectacular Album of Abyssinian Birds and Mammals from Paintings (which we featured as a book of the week in 2011). Agassiz, who had done previous work for the Society on The Book of Birds, crafted over five dozen stunning portraits of the animals described within the text for this title.
|North American Buffalo
Wild Animals presents 119 "animal biographies," which present not just pictures and scientific facts about the species, but also entertaining anecdotes about Americans' interaction with these creatures.
Take, for instance, the account of the American Buffalo. Nelson writes that,
A number of men now living were privileged to see some of the great herds of the West before they were finally destroyed. Dr. George Bird Grinnell writes:
'In 1870, I happened to be on a train that was stopped for three hours to let a herd of buffalo pass. We supposed they would soon pass by, but they kept coming. On a number of occasions in earlier days, the engineers thought that they could run through the herds, and that, seeing the locomotive, the buffalo would stop or turn aside : but after a few locomotives had been ditched by the animals the engineers got in the way of respecting the buffaloes' idiosyncrasies.'
|Black and Brown Bear Cubs Being Introduced
Species Highlights
For this post, we've selected a few of the our favorite of the 119 species Nelson describes, accompanied by Fuertes' enticing paintings. We've provided additional links and images for those species below which are also found in the new American Trail exhibit. See a full list of species you'll encounter in the exhibit by visiting the zoo's website.
See all of the images from our book of the week on Flickr, and check out select illustrations on Pinterest.
Alaskan Brown Bear
"The great brown bear of the Alaskan peninsula, Ursus [arctos], and his cousin, Ursus middendorffi, of Kodiac Island, are the largest of all bears, as well as the largest carnivorous animals in the world. [The Polar Bear, of roughly the same size, is documented as the largest bear alongside the Kodiak]. While sometimes attaining a weight of 1500 pounds, they are, as a rule, inoffensive giants, taking flight at the first sight of man. But when wounded, or surprised at close quarters, they give battle, and their enormous size, strength and activity render them terrific antagonists.
"The world did not know of the existence of these bears until 1898.
"During the spring the Alaska brown bear lives upon the salmon which come up the rivers and creeks to spawn, while in the summer and fall they eat the sedge of the lowland flats, grazing like cattle, and varying their diet with small mammals and berries which they find in the hills."
|The Alaskan Brown Bear
|The Grizzly Bear
North American Beaver
"Beavers belong to the rodent family - a group of animals notable for their weak mental powers. The beaver is the striking exception to the rule, and its extraordinary intelligence, industry, and skill have long excited admiration....
"[Beavers] are very proficient in building narrow dams of sticks, mud, and small stones across small streams for the purpose of backing up water and making 'beaver ponds.' In the border of these ponds a conical lodge is usually constructed of sticks and mud...The mud used by beavers in building dams and houses is scooped up and carried against the breast, the front feet being used like hands."
|North American Beaver
Three North American beavers are featured as part of the new American Trail exhibit. One, by the name of Willow, "is easily identifiable by a notch in her tail."
|North American Beaver from the American Trails exhibit
"The moose is a large, grotesquely formed animal, with the most impressive individuality of any of our large game. Its great head, with oddly formed nose, huge palmated antlers, pendulous bell under the neck, short body, and disproportionately long legs unite to lend the impression that it may be a strange survivor from some remote geologic period.
"Although taller than an ordinary horse, weighing more than half a ton, and adorned with wide-spreading antlers, the bull moose stalks with ghostly silence through thickset forests."
"In summer it loves low-lying, swampy forests interspersed with shallow lakes and sluggish streams. In such places it often wades up to its neck in a lake to feed on succulent water plants, and when reaching to the bottom becomes entirely submerged."
|Moose submerged in water, foraging for food.
Steller Sea Lion
"Sea-lions are near relatives of the fur seals and have a nearly similar distribution, both in far southern and northern seas...The Steller Sea Lion is the largest member of the group, the old bulls weighing from 1,200-1,500 pounds.
"They are preeminently animals of the most rugged of shorelines and the stormiest of seas, being superbly powerful beasts with extraordinary vitality. The ease with which they pass through a smother of pounding seas to mount their rugged resting places is an admirable exhibition of skill and strength. The males have a bellowing roar, on the rocks in savage unison with the booming of the sea against the base of their refuge...
"It is reported that an umbrella opened and closed suddenly in the faces of the old sea-lions appears to terrify them more than any other weapon and is used successfully in drives.
"At sea they have only a single known enemy to fear - the fierce killer whale."
|Steller Sea Lion
The American Trail exhibit features four of the Steller Sea Lion's smaller cousin - the California Sea Lion. Two of them, Calli and Sophie, were rescued from the wild after being orphaned. A third, named Sophie, is Calli's first pup.

Threatened Species Day
Today is threatened species day - a day set aside to raise awareness about the predicament facing thousands of species throughout the world today. It was originally established to commemorate the death of the last Tasmanian Tiger at the Hobart zoo in 1936.
While many North American species can be found on the Threatened and Endangered Species List, some of our most iconic, including the Gray Wolf and Bald Eagle - which were once doomed to possible extinction - have miraculously recovered and are no longer among those listed as threatened. Human conservation efforts had much to do with these status reversals, proving that when we come together to conserve, we can make a major impact. Let's hope similar efforts can help restore the future for the species that still remain threatened.

text: This year I join the faculty of Loyola Marymount University as an Assistant Professor of Women's Studies after having served as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Philosophy at Fordham University. I received my BA from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, and my MA and PhD in philosophy from DePaul University in Chicago. My work spans the areas of feminist theory, political theory, queer theory, contemporary French philosophy, critical theory and German idealism. In particular, I focus on the political epistemology of constitutive exclusion, or the process by which a certain form of difference is excluded from, yet remains within and continues to work for, the establishment of a political body that claims to operate as a totality. My work is motivated by the desire to understand who is intelligible as a political agent, who is not, and what this unintelligibility does for politics. I defended my dissertation project, "Constitutive Exclusion and the Work of Political Unintelligibility" and was awarded distinctions in 2011. I am working on a book manuscript that takes up these issues, and am developing a new project on urban geography, history and political epistemology, tentatively titled "How to Read a City."

WHILE readers may be aware of threats to the NHS posed by the Coalition Government, in particular the Health and Social Care Act 2012, they may not be aware that Lord Owen has registered in Parliament the National Health Service (Amended Duties and Powers) Bill.
This Bill does not require a "top-down reorganisation" but does reinstate the legal basis for a democratic, accountable, free at point-of-use and comprehensive health service.
Specifically, the bill will reinstate the Secretary of State's duty to provide health services that was formerly contained within sections 1 and 3 of the NHS Act 2006; Subject all NHS bodies and bodies providing services for the NHS to ministerial direction and repeal the duty of autonomy and restore sufficient ministerial control over provision consistent with the Secretary of State's overarching duty to provide health services to the whole of England.
The democratic and legal basis for the NHS in England is abolished by the Coalition's Health and Social Care Act.
This fundamental change which ends the legal basis of the NHS as a free and comprehensive service is already being felt, ahead of the shift to the new market system in April.
But this issue is far from over and the Defend The NHS York group among others in the region and nationally is pleased to welcome Lord Owen's action.
Dr Mick Phythian, Monkton Road, York.

Kourtney Kardashian: New Kardashian Kollection Favorites
Kourtney Kardashian and her sisters' fashion line the Kardashian Kollection has been making big waves across the ocean since the ladies launched the line at Dorothy Perkins last fall. The mother of two recently took to her personal blog to talk about her favorite items from the line:
Our new Kardashian Kollection line for Dorothy Perkins launched this week and I wanted to share two of my favorite pieces. I wore these while we were in London for the big launch event last year.
One is the black pleat blouse — really feminine and slightly sexy with the sheer fabric, and the other is a polka dot blazer, which everyone has been asking me about since I wore at our Westfield launch in London.
Dorothy Perkins' website. What do you guys think of the new Kollection?

|System of A Down "Aerials in the Sky"
The term Star Child is thrown around nowadays be a number of individuals. Many of these are abductees or individuals who have had a Close Encounter. Many often feel out of touch with humanity, feel a sense of not fitting in, have a higher conscious, feel intellectually superior, feel spiritually concerned, need to feel special, Eco-friendly, who feel in tune with the cosmic awareness, possessed by an alien intelligence, watched by the government....etc.
There are many reasons why someone may feel they are Star Children...... usually those individuals are on more friendly terms with the alien visitors.
One of the origins of this phrase comes from stories attributed to the Native Americans of the Southwest of the U.S.A. Apparently the Hopi new of these Star Beings. Basically from time to time, as it was custom with some tribes....you exchange children to foster trust with eachother as a cultural exchange. These beings hosted by the Native Americans were dubbed "Star Children".
This is not an official classification of the subject, but what I have put together based off of my research.
There are two types of Star Children....Physical Star Children which are biological constructs/lifeforms and Mental Star Children which deal more with a psychological and spiritual aspect..
Physical Star Children
Altered Human
For whatever reason a human, through mental manipulation or physical mutation can be a "Star child". This is usually the beginning stage. Abductee could be introduced to the aliens culture and mindset. Just the very act of constant abductions make them "Star Children", as they become more and more familiar.
Physically "Star Children" can also occur through a physical means. Small alteration in the genetic make up are made so they become more compatible with other types of Hybrids, Breeding Programs, or adaptivity for technological or environmental purposes.
Genetically Altered Being
This "Star Child" has been genetically altered to resemble the physical make-up of the host species. In essence the original species goes through gene therapy in which the existing DNA patterns are overwritten. With someone who is close to you it is a minor alteration overall, however the larger the gap the more tricky it can be.
Once the Genetic Sequence has been rewritten these being can be re-introduced into society.
These Star Children can be adult versions or embryos implanted in human hosts.
Since we are dealing with a species with advanced technology, they may have access to clone and a stable genetic matrix. What happens a stock individual is cloned. The original individual can be "kept somewhere" or be allowed to return. The clone operates as the individual, but has been usual conditioned to be more receptive if in close contact with the alien. However clones are usually operated like our Flashdrives, were data/memory are uploaded, examined, and monitored. What can be more challenging is the series of clones can be re-integrated through the link of society.
This could explain past-life experiences, as our clones previous memories have been accidentally transferred to the latest batch. Also if more than one clone is in operation or if the original model is aware, they may be accidentally sharing memories as they will have very similar brainwaves. Its like feedback in away.
A contemporary example is the movie Avatar, where a cloned individual is made and controlled by is a host intelligence. However in the case above, these are a series of clones like the Vorta from Star Trek DS9.
These versions of "Star children" come in various models depending on the generations of crossbreeding. A Stage I Hybrids will have traits of the dominate gene pool. Most cross-species breeding will produce mutants, malformed, sterile, or still born lifeforms in the beginning. Depending on the programs success there can be a number of generational models.
Some models may have certain desired traits, and kept in production while the True Hybrid is perfected.
With enough adaptions a stable new lifeform can eventually be formed, a True hybrid. These lifeforms would be of a new species, and may not be compatible with the original stock species.
The life of this type of "Star Child" is difficult, as it will be different from both of its stock parents. Most Hybrids are never introduced into our society. Those that are later generation models that are stable and are manipulated into contact with other hybrids. Late generation hybrids often have cosmetic surgery to better integrate themselves into society. Most may be unaware that they are hybrids.
Mental Star Children
some would consider this a possession. This is when an alien consciousness takes over you mind for a period of time. Your consciousness could be suppressed in which missing time is experienced or is just along for the ride. In some cases you may not be aware, as it acts as a suppressed state just watching through your eyes. This can be duplicated by a technological means.
Soul Swapped
Although some may call it "Mind Swapping", this category of the "Star Children" is what I would considered a person who essence/soul/mind and has been transferred out of their body.
They could be transferred to another cloned body, synthoid, alien body. Their body however is know the host to an alien conscious for a time. This could be mistaken as possession.
In contemporary media this is illustrated by H.P. Lovecrafts, "Great Race of Yith" in 1936 and in the TV series Stargate Universe and Stargate SG-1 with the communication Stones.
If Mind Swapping has occurred too frequently, either alien or host may biologically retain the new synapse configuration in the brain. What this means, is that either one will have hard copied memories of the other. This may lead some to erroneous believe that they are a "Star Child" or alien trapped in a human vessel.
This can be seen in computers, sometime certain types of data copied on to your hard drive will become permanent fixtures. As any tech will tell you things are never really deleted from you hard drive, and like our brain our memories are hard copied too...it just a matter of accessing them.
Soul Merged
Soul Merged, is when the essence/soul/mind of an alien consciousness if fully integrated into that of the human. This can be done intentionally in order for alien to experience life through the eyes of the host, making them an instant "Star Child". The main issue is the blending of two consciousness. Children make the most malleable subjects as their mind are not fully formed. Adults however provide more difficulty as their personality/ids/ego will conflict with the additional developed consciousness. Willing adults who surrender themselves would have an easier time adjusting. When its mission is complete it can choose to live out its life here, return, or be recalled back (Abduction with no coming back).
Examples are the Goa'uld from Stargate SG-1 and the Trill from Star Trek the Next Generation and DS9. Although both of these examples have a biological entity inserted into the host, they both bound with each other becoming one lifeform. Both however have the abilty to outlive the host and transfer to another lifeform.

Discussion in 'General Topics' started by Kaupp, Dec 1, 2004.
Just curious...
It is a great place to provide support to their users and also serves as a Knowlege Base.
Well, there are many, many folks over in that forum getting quite frustrated at the level of (non) "support". There hasn't been a post from anyone at Acronis in at least a week... and the problems with their software are numerous.
The people who run this site and came to some agreement with Acronis should probably be aware of that. If they're going to check-in once or twice every month or so, I wouldn't be calling it "support".
Acronis Support posted just yesterday (my time zone).
Certainly there are indeed numerous threads asking critical support questions in the Acronis section here, and to be sure most threads are about problems people are having with the software (that is the nature of a product support forum), Acronis Support has been more active then your post states.
If you want to see the posting history of Acronis Support, just check the link in their profile showing all their posts:
If this is supposedly a support forum, I don't consider a reply directing the user to 'email@example.com very helpful! But even those have been few and far between lately. And I'm not the only one thinking that way:
I've sent two unanswered messages to their support email, a couple here, and I've run out of patience trying to get their product to work.
My only point here is that there are MANY unanswered messages in the Acronis forum and it appears that nobody from Acronis is monitoring the issues. A short "we're working on it but it'll take a month" is better than dead silence.
I had to go out and buy Norton Ghost since their product, right out of the box, would not work on a brand-new Dell 8400.
Thanks for listening/reading.
This is a worry, I have been watching the forum for a while, maybe they are just suffering from too much growth too quickly, and this if not managed well can cripple a business... Hopefully they will get on top of things in the not to distant future...
