1. Re: Self-devised encryptionsabre150 May 9, 2012 6:36 PM (in response to 898586)So how will the transmitter let the receiver know the 'key' being used to seed the randomiser? How will it deal with the inevitable loss of UDP packets?
2. Re: Self-devised encryption796440 May 9, 2012 6:51 PM (in response to 898586)I suggest you google for something like "encrypted UDP". You're surely not the first person to want to do something like this.
I think there are TLS implementations on top of UDP. Or as a primitive, worst-case, Q&D approach, you could just encrypt the data in each packet. That would surely be more secure than randomizing the order.
3. Re: Self-devised encryption796440 May 9, 2012 6:52 PM (in response to 898586)And as for "Self-devised encryption" in general, keep this in mind: Many brilliant minds--PhDs in mathematics and computer science--have dedicated their lifes' work over decades to develop better encryption, and flaws are still being found. Any "Self-devised encryption" you (or I, or any other amateur) can come up with will be no more than a toy at best. If you're not worried about serious attacks, and don't want to bother with the overhead of real encryption, just pick something simple that an 8-year-old isn't likely to guess, and be done with it. Don't waste time trying to make it better.
There's home-grown cr@p, and then there's state-of-the-art commercial grade and above. There really isn't much middle ground where you're likely to be able to plant your flag.

There can be a bit of a learning curve, and if you start getting into certs and whatnot it can get painful, but if he just wants bytes in → encrypted bytes out, then, yeah, there really isn't much to it.
6. Re: Self-devised encryption898586 May 9, 2012 7:41 PM (in response to sabre150)The voice is carried on a UDP channel; the key (i.e. the packet (re-)ordering) would be sent over TCP on a separate SSL connection. The diffculties with the algorithm would be accessing the "packet array" at a high enough speed to re-establish correct order without introducing latency and losing QOS, whilst making it difficult for a reasonably competent, real-time permutational resolver to overcome the randomness and "decrypt" the stream. (As to the 'inevitable loss of UDP packets', the programme works smoothly now and it already suffers from lost packets, so that would not be a problem per se).
7. Re: Self-devised encryption898586 May 9, 2012 7:42 PM (in response to 796440)To jverd : there is encryption for UDP and it's called DTLS (which is in the search terms for this question if you'd looked). But that requires going into JNI, and, before I would do that, I want to exhaust the possibilities in pure Java first. I don't know why you lecture me about maths brains etc - you have no idea who I am for a start, and secondly, even if you did, such a comment doesn't begin to be an answer to this question. Which brings me on to my other point, the one you make about amateurism: what I am proposing is not, in itself, true encryption, as the data is not subject to a keyed transformation. Instead, (as I also already indicated but you haven't noticed afaics), a randomised packet sequence amounts to a one-time pad for **plaintext**, since it would be just about impossible to render a completely correct parallel stream from continuously randomly ordered packets, any appreciably valuable number of times. The random sequence would be generated over a write-ahead,-read-ahead SSL stream, which, I admit, is a slight challenge, ensuring, for one thing, that the TCP stream kept ahead of the game over the UDP payload.

To wit: A subject line that indicates exactly the kind of thing that people who don't understand encryption often try to do, and fail miserably at; and a suggested approach that seems horribly naive and broken from the get-go. From this, it is reasonable to assume that you're pretty uninformed about encryption.

Anyway, since all you are doing is re-ordering UDP packets (and sending the ordering sequence over a standard SSL session), this really does not amount to a question on cryptography - probably more on network performance. Perhaps you might want to post this topic (with a more appropriate title) on a different forum? As far as I can tell, there is no crypto question to answer here.

P.S. I would refrain from calling it a "one-time pad for plaintext" on the other forum, since an OTP does involve keyed-transformation.

P.S. I would refrain from calling it a "one-time pad for plaintext" on the other forum, since an OTP does involve keyed-transformation.I was referring to the fact that the sequence of the packets would be generated by a random function; in that sense, those keys are a one-time pad.
I don't think I'll bother asking the question on another forum under any other title or description, as I equally think I won't be bothering asking any more questions on this one either. But thanks for your attempt at an answer.
13. Re: Self-devised encryptionarshadnoor Jun 3, 2012 8:02 PM (in response to 898586)If I understand your protection scheme, I believe it goes something like this:
1) If the data-flow has 100-packets, rather than send them in the order they are created - 1, 2, 3,... - the Sequencer module generates a random numbering scheme - for example, 14, 39, 72, 27, ... and so on;
2) The Sequencer sends this random numbering scheme to the recipient over an SSL-protected channel, at least, just slightly ahead of the plaintext channel;
3) The VoIP software now sends plaintext packets in the order of the numbering scheme, over an unencrypted channel;
4) The recipient reassembles the data-stream from the randomly-ordered packets into an orderly sequence (based on the order it received from the SSL-channel) and sends it up the stack for processing.
If this is the case, I'm not sure where the one-time pad comes into play. There is no cryptographic key; there is no transformation that occurs with a key that is the same length as the plaintext; so I'm not sure how you can define it as an OTP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad).
Assuming there is sufficient randomness in the Sequencer,you could call it a "one-time sequencer" if you wanted to; but unless you are using a True Random Number Generator, you would be making the assumption that it is a "one-time" sequencer. Software RNGs use the same randomization algorithm and must, therefore, be seeded to start at a different place every time to achieve Pseudo RNG. And even then, depending on how you get your seed, you might still be making the assumption that it is a "one-time" sequencer - you can't guarantee it unless your did have a TRNG source that guaranteed true randomness. (I'm sorry about going off tangentially, but this stuff does get complicated once you start going down the rabbit-hole - can be stimulating or discouraging depending on your point-of-view).
I would not be discouraged from asking questions anywhere - in the end, questions help us all learn something. A useful quote about group discussions I make a point of remembering, goes as follows: "If you are right, you have no need to be angry; if you are wrong, you have no right to be angry". It has helped me find perspective on many occasions.

14. Re: Self-devised encryption898586 Jun 4, 2012 12:33 PM (in response to arshadnoor)[Me] > pseudo-encrypt the stream
I'm not saying it's a 1-2-1 technical OTP - I'm using the term with (probably unwarranted licence) latitude. Anyway . . .
1) 2) 3) 4)That's correct.
If this is the case, I'm not sure where the one-time pad comes into play. There is no crySo's that.
you could call it a "one-time sequencer"Let's use this concept as the new starting point then.
The net effect of what I describe is intended to be a jumbled (if you like) sequence order that is itself encrypted (via SSL). Assuming that SSL does its job, and protects that ordering, it would appear to be onerous and irksome for an intercept to re-render the packets (VoIP) into a meaningful or intelligible stream.
Running a prototype using 7 bytes (representing what would be the packets' sequence), results range from a handful up to more than 20,000 attempts, using just math.random(). That's quite a mess to sort out.
In practice, this scheme likely wouldn't work particularly well for voice packets, given that they are highly perishable.

I have to add my voice to the chorus of disapproval coming from the gaming world over a new Nintendo brand name called Wii.
Nintendo has come out with a funky page explaining the name, which is meant to be pronounced "we" (as in "we all play"). They claim the name reminds us that "this console is for everyone" and that "Wii" can "easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak".
But it could be mispronounced "why", or perhaps some would pronounce the two i's separately. If you do, you might get "Why I?", a question many of us ask ourselves on Monday morning when some gamer is playing with one of these things in the next cubicle.
More likely, it could be mispronounced "wee", which is just not an association you need with a hi-tech product name.
In some languages, like Welsh, where the "w" is a vowel pronounced "oo", you might get oooh-eee, which for a game might be OK, but most of us are not Welsh and if you are not, that particular pronunciation sounds like a call for the pigs, another big no-no.
Nintendo says "together, Wii will change everything" but I'm thinking the first thing they should change is the name.

I feel my nose is round, fat, and piggish I would like it to be skinner and thinner. Is that possible? What other facial features would it bring out? Which type of rhinoplasty is best? Should I get it?

What Type of Rhinoplasty Would Be Right for my Nose, What Other Features Would It Bring Out? (photo)
This type of over internet question and only one view posted photo does you a dis service to expect us to respond with and exact answer. YOU NEED IN PERSON examination in order to determine what is best suited for your nose and face.
Facial features after rhinoplasty
The best way to see what changes will be apparent in your facial features after rhinoplasty is to try computer simulation. This way you can see exactly what the changes will mean to your face as a whole.

rhinoplasty for wide nasal bones and tip
The rhinoplasty procedure involves narrowing and refining the tip and bridge, which will help with the flat appearance of the nose. Narrowing of the bones is accomplished with osteotomies, while narrowing of the tip is accomplished with suture techniques of the tip in combination with cartilage removal. Virtual rhinoplasty software is available on our website for you to get an idea of what your new nose might look like. Please see the link below for examples of wide noses we have repaired in our practice

What Type of Rhinoplasty Would Be Right for my Nose, What Other Features Would It Bring Out?
I think that your nose can be made smaller as you would like by reducing the size of the tip and the width of the nostrils and the width of the bridge og the nose. This can all be done with a closed rhinoplasty. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Alar reduction and tip rhinoplasty
It is hard to fully assess from this picture but given your facial features you appear to have an Asian ethnic nose and eyes (due to the folds around your eyes and widened and flat nasal bridge). Rhinoplasty directed at reducing the size of the nostrils and narrowing and raising the tip into the thick nasal skin will help as well as adding height to the nasal bridge. As a previous post has mentioned you have thick nasal skin and thus results will not be as dramatic or as predictable at the tip of your nose. It is important to understand the limitations of surgery and a trained plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon should be able to counsel you on what are reasonably expected results in your case.
Rhinoplasty on Nose with Thick Skin
I need to see additional pictures of your nose; go to my website for instructions on the views for nasal evaluation. Results can be limited in patients with thick skin but significant improvement can be achieved by narrowing the tip, decreasing the flair of the nostril rims, and sometimes augmenting the bridge.

Being "At the Raters" can mean multiple things depending on why it is there. It might be there multiple times during the process. The claims
process isn't like tracking a FedEx package where each step brings the package closer to it's goal. Your claim may go back and forth between
development and the raters multiple times as new information leads to more requests of other agencies for verification. It also might go back and forth to the
VAMC for a C&P several times depending on how well the examiner documented the requirements of the decision maker. Knowing where it is and where it's
been doesn't provide a guarantee of "what's left". Some simple claims might be adjudicated in 6 weeks but more complex claims might take 18
mos or more. How busy is the VARO, How many issues are you claiming? How much evidence supporting the claim did you submit and how much evidence does the VA
have to try and obtain from other agencies? All of these things might affect your claim. They might also make decisions on some simple issues and defer the
more complex ones.
Here's a link to a GAO study regarding VA claims processing. Co-incidentally, it contains a flowchart of the claim process as it was in 2000:
Scroll down about two thirds the way to find the chart . You can see that there are many steps in the claims process so even if you're familiar with the
process you can't judge with any degree of accuracy how much longer your claim will be at any certain point.

OneSafe app
Onesafe is a password manager app for your iOS, Android, Windows Phone, or Mac devices that generates virtually unhackable passwords for all the sites you use. That means if one day you surf a naughty website and it gets compromised, you won't lose more than your personal happy-time. Just be sure to remember your Onesafe account details.
Our local answer to Tinder, Paktor is a great app for Singaporeans who aren't too good at social interactions or rejections. At least you know the people on the app are looking for the same thing as you - that's half the battle won.
Getting stamps or chops on physical loyalty cards is so 2010. We always forget to bring them out and end up having three cards from the same store anyway, leading to a never-ending cycle of frustration of 10 bubble teas with zero free gifts. Perx is much easier, doing everything digitally with a quick scan to consolidate everything on your mobile device.
Your waist, unfortunately, is in trouble. How can you say no to our nation's favourite hobby - food hunting. Fact is, you can never get sick of those gloriously mouth-watering food photos. Picky has loads of that, and even recommendations for the best local food fare.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 10.2190 Thursday, 9 December 1999.
Date: Wednesday, 8 Dec 1999 16:01:30 -0500
Subject: Executioners
Can anyone tell me whether there is an English rubric that denies
funeral, funeral procession, and churchyard burial to the spouse of an
executioner (circa 1450)?
Also, is anyone familiar with two superstitions from the same period
concerning the construction of a gallows: first, that the bark must be
stripped bare from the wood of the gallows so that the criminal's demons
could hide under the bark after the execution; second, that the whole
town helped raise the gallows, with no one pounding in more than a
single nail, so that the condemned man might not exact retribution from
any one person from the other side of the grave and only the executioner
would have blood on his hands?

The T. Rowe Price Health Science Fund (MUTF: PRHSX[1]) is a sector-focused mutual fund for investors who want to make a bet on this specific industry. As the name implies, the health science fund invests in companies expected to benefit from changes in the healthcare, medicine or life sciences fields.
Mutual fund investors should recognize that this is not a diversified fund, so it can be subject to more risk based on the ups and downs of the helathcare sector. But the T. Rowe Price Health Science Fund may appeal to longer-term growth seeking investors who are looking to get in on some of the up-and-comers in the biotech field, or socially responsible investors who support life saving or life changing research.
Here are the specifics for the T. Rowe Price Health Science Fund for today's mutual fund spotlight:
Investing Strategy: If you believe that some of the most promising and profitable health care discoveries are on the horizon then the T. Rowe Price Health Science Fund may be the mutual fund for you. The fund is aggressive, allocating nearly 99% of its assets in the common stock of companies engaged in the research, development, production, or distribution of products or services related to health care, medicine, or the life sciences. While the fund can invest in companies of any size, the fund's managers prefer to a majority of assets in large- and mid-cap companies.
Expense Ratio: With a 0.87% expense ratio, the fund is cheap even with the $75 transaction fee and is among the higher rated funds with a Morningstar Rating of 4 stars.
Top 5 Holdings: The top stocks in the T Rowe Price Health Science Fund include pharmaceuticals specialists Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Posted on » 22 January 2011
LONDON: Tony Blair called for a "gung-ho" approach toward Saddam Hussein's regime, it was revealed yesterday.
The former British prime minister's approach during the days leading up to the invasion of Iraq was revealed in a previously unseen 2002 memo from him to his chief of staff, published by a war inquiry as he made a second appearance before the panel to clarify evidence he gave to it a year ago.
Critics of the war hope the inquiry will conclude Blair had been determined to back the US invasion, whether or not it was supported by the public, parliament or legal opinion.
As Blair addressed the five-member panel scrutinising Britain's role in the unpopular war, activists staged demonstrations against him - holding up signs saying 'Bliar' and 'Blair lied - thousands died'.
A statement he gave to the inquiry revealed he had ignored advice from the government's top lawyer, given in January 2003 warning an invasion of Iraq would be illegal without a specific UN resolution.
Attorney General Peter Goldsmith only changed his mind shortly before the invasion, and Blair said he viewed the earlier advice as "provisional" and believed it would change when Goldsmith became aware of the UN negotiations.
Blair also told the inquiry yesterday that he promised he would back the US in taking action against Saddam almost a year before the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
In a letter to his chief of staff, Jonathan Powell, on March 17, 2002, Blair said "the case should be obvious" for removing the Iraqi leader from power.
Nations that opposed dictatorships and that had supported action in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Sierra Leone "should be gung-ho on Saddam," Blair wrote.
But he acknowledged it would be difficult to convince sceptics. "People believe we are only doing it to support the US, and they are only doing it to settle an old score," he wrote. "So we have to reorder our story and message".

As hard as they tried, when the checkered flag fell on the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 Roxlex 24 at Daytona, Guy Cosmo and Orbit Racing's No. 88 GT3 Porsche came up a few hours short. Teamed up with drivers John Baker, Johnny Mowlem, Tom Papadopoulos and Lance Willsey, Cosmo could only look back with disappointment as the team loaded up the charred remounts of the No. 88 Porsche.
"It was really fun while it lasted," exclaimed Guy. "Orbit did a great job and the car felt fantastic!"
The team had gotten off to a great start with co-driver Johnny Mowlem advancing the car to 3rd place while driving in the wet.
"Yeah, the race started well," said Cosmo. "The race started out in wet conditions, but Johnny did a great job and got us up to 3rd. Unfortunately we suffered a right rear tire blowout - no damage, but with the time we lost in pits we fell to the back of the pack."
Tom Papadopoulos took the second stint but he would climb out early as the car developed an electronic issue.
"Tom had a really solid stint going," noted Guy. "It ended short though when an O2 sensor went bad. So Tom pitted early for quick fix and then I got in. I got us back up to 12th or so during my stint."
Car owner Lance Willsey took to the wheel after Guy for a double stint as well, suffering mild damage to the rear wing after a small spin. When Johnny Mowlem's turn came back around, tire problems once again reared their ugly head.
"This is one of the crazy things about endurance racing," said Guy. "Johnny got back in and began having more tire trouble. Locating the problem resulted in 3 trips to the pit box. Ultimately it was discovered we had a punctured tire."
The team's strategy of having the drivers do double stints was displaying a positive effect. Tom Papadopoulos climbed back in after Johnny and all was ok. Tom had an excellent stint and turned the car over to Cosmo for the long lonely night shift.
With Cosmo running late into the night, he was eventually forced to pit for a fix to the rear tail lights which weren't working & a brake change. His final stint ended at about 5:30am.
"My final stint was simply the best," said Cosmo, grinning. "There really is nothing like doing the double-graveyard shift at Daytona - some of the most peaceful and rhythmic driving a racer can do - especially in a really well prepped car... I loved it!"
Cosmo's late night afterglow would be nothing but a memory by sunrise. While back at his hotel for a few hours of down time, Cosmo was awoken with a phone call and the news that John Baker had just gotten in the car and radioed in that he thought he smelled smoke. He came around to the start finish line once before the car caught fire.
Baker was able to scramble to safety, but the No. 88 Orbit Racing GT3 Porsche was out of the race.
"Bummer!" was the only description Cosmo could muster. "Like I said, the car really was fantastic. The guys from Orbit busted their behinds and really did a great job. But, hey-- that's racing. I'd like to thank Orbit Racing and all the drivers for the opportunity to drive with them. We certainly had fun while it lasted. We'll just move on to the next one."
The next race for the GRAND-AM Rolex Series will be the Grand Prix of Miami on March 6 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Catching the Criminals: Mesothelioma Victim Frank Bender's Legacy
Shreveport, Louisiana
Shreveport is a city on the Red River in the state of Louisiana. The seat of Caddo Parish, Shreveport has a current population of just over 199,000, making it the third-largest city in the state. Established in 1836 at the junction of the Red River and the Texas Trail, Shreveport was a center of steamboat shipping and commerce. Today, the city has turned its focus to service industries and tourism. Major employers include the State of Louisiana, Barksdale Air Force Base, and the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center.
Shortly after its founding, Shreveport soon became a trading center, shipping cotton and other goods up and down the river by steamboat. The river's tendency to fill itself in, combined with increased rail use, rendered the river un-navigable by 1914. At that time, cotton, cotton products, and oil were among Shreveport's chief commodities. A 1915 fertilizer handbook lists three cotton oil mills, including the Caddo Cotton Oil Company, and the Union Seed & Fertilizer Company. Standard Oil of Louisiana was established in 1909, operating as a locally-based company until it was absorbed by Standard Oil of New Jersey in 1944. Another company, Specialty Oil Company, was acquired by Pennzoil-Quaker state in 1993. Pennzoil operated the refinery until 2001, when it was sold to Calumet Specialty Products, a maker of white mineral oils, petroleum waxes, and other specialty hydrocarbons. The R.F. Zimmerman Company, founded in 1944, sells HVAC products of many well-known manufacturers. Today the river channel has been reopened, and riverboat casino gambling added to the city's economic mix.
Shreveport's lengthy history of construction and industrial activity places it in a high-risk category for asbestos exposure. Workers and their loved ones who are exposed to asbestos may be at risk for mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. If you were exposed to asbestos in Shreveport and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you should also consider contacting an asbestos law firm.

Very nice and clean hotel. The room was spacefull enough. Very nice breakfast with a big variety of goods. People working there are very polite and helpful. Perfect place if you want to visit the lakes and the surroundings of Milano. We had a car so I don't know about transportation. Very very good value for money. WiFi is for free and a huge parking place is for free aswell !!
The restaurant/bar are very expensive but good. No free internet.
No spa facilities
Very easy to locate, good parking, spacious clean bedrooms, substantial breakfast. Perfect for one night stop-over.
Because it's new and good-we'd almost everything Not correct name-real name are Junior hotel or something. Our gps can't find not with the name not with address-and in 2oclock at night it was not very nice.
the hotel is very new, just opened it's very nice inside, the prices in the restaurant are not too low
Fantastic location right on and off the autostrada with free parking. Good breakfast.
Out of the city no truffic,easy to find, on the main road. parking place. very nice breakfast.
Excellent location and fantastic view from room No air-conditioning and road was noisy with window open
location rooms too small
Ok, old fashioned hotel. If you're lucky (we were) you get a small balcony facing the square. Good restarurant at hotel, adjacent to square. Uncomfortable bed (pillows), generally ok, but a bit run down and old fashioned. Small bathroom w shower.
Had this hotel been renovated and modernized it would be a jewel because of the perfect location . The windows are new and you can't hear the noise of the traffic outside. The bathroom is fine but the rooms need an upgrade. No carpets please. The location is the best, waterfront and historical center right there. The staff were amazing , friendly and calm. Some parking available. The breakfast was average to disappointing, but we only stayed one night . The room we had needs a designers touch,
location is wonderful, hotel staff especially breakfast staff really helpful,old style but comfortable hotel. decoration,needs refurbishing.
The view Small room, Old bathroom,
Central location, beautiful view of the lake. Room was quite small, bathroom in serious need of renovations.
The possibity of parking, the staff speak french, the location vue on the lack Anythings
Big beautiful rooms, perfect location, very nice helpful staff. Beds are not very comfortable.
We had stayed at this hotel once before and found it met all our needs. The staff is very accommodating and helpful. On our last visit our room overlooked the square and had a balcony and had great views of the lake. On this visit our room faced the lake and was gorgeous. Very attentive staff at the restaurant and the food was great too.
The location of this hotel is one of the best in Lake Como and very close to the 2 Train stations for Como and the docks, our room was overlooking the lake, amazing views, highly recommend it if you visit Lake Como. Pepe Nero Restaurant is the one to go to if you visit Lake Como... No Iron in the room, they charge for ironing starting from 3 euros and up, depending on what you iron. TV was paid and so was internet access and music. Do not be put off though, this is a great hotel, affordable, best location in Como, amazing lake views, spacious and clean rooms and very helpful staff, i would go there again and again...
staff are good, internet connection is good and free of charge, restaurant is very good.
staff is friendaly, food is good, hotel is new...., everything is good. no
Hotel is comfortable, very new and modern. The service is friendly. The rooms are very nice but they should a bit more better insonorised for who has a rather light sleep. The hotel is situated along a frequented road and it would be impossible to sleep with windows open in th e summer time.
All was perfect, continental breakfast was excellent,fresh,good. The all employes was wery kind, and helpfully. Traffic is very easy, only 20 minutes from Como lake. our room was allways clear, silent, the bed confort was first class.
Very warm welcome from most of the staff. The breakfast had a good selection of food and the rooms were very comfortable. Hotel was bit further out than we had been lead to believe and bar closed too early.
The small TV set was so small I could not see it from the bed. It must be the smallest TV in the world.
It is a pretty hotel, very clean, excellent room, good breakfast. Maybe a little bit expensive in the price quality relation. But it would stay again there. A little far from downtown and the lake
The location The hotel does not have a good service and quality at this moment everything is close there I mean the solarium, restaurante, swimming pool , they do not have even a bell boy. you only can sleep there. the breakfast is poor although the breakfast time is until 10:30, if you go around 10:00 AM everything is finish.
The staff The location, the environment (a builing in construction nearby), no view of the lake,
The free use of the bikes was a nice touch - a good way to explore Como. The roof top restaurant was lovely too.
Great breakfast. Good base location to explore the lake district. The pool was not heated. The robotic cleaning machine was left in the pool.
The hotel has a swimming pool and a good parking place. The location is too not far from the city centre. The room size and the breakfast (including a high chair for my daughter) are also good.
The reception staff were very helpful with a great attitude. It is quite far back from the lake side and historical area (a 15-20 minute walk), however, the walk is through the high street and you don't really notice the distance.
Good location,free parking,good size room,fair breakfast, efficient service,furniture/equipment new and in good condition.It was one of the few hotels where special requests were actually taken into account(e.g:we were a group and some of us requested twin beds others one double bed and we did get what we asked for) thin walls,view not very enticing:a construction site right in front, wi fi -5euros per hour, no vegetables and just apples for breakfast,lake is quite far from hotel
Ease of registration at start and at check out, garage car parking arrangements and efficient car retrieval at end of stay, room with a view of the lake + large picture window. Self service breakfast. Would have liked tea/coffee making facilities in room. Beds are hard. A swimming pool/outside lounger area would be good - other hotels on Lake Como have this facility and it is appealing to tourists.
Location Reception staff very friendly Room small - not even a desk in a 200+ eur room No free wifi in rooms eventhough advertised (only in lobby free) Breakfast very basic - even an omelette or orange juice has a surcharge of 8 eur. Too crowded in breakfast area due to a too small buffet All in all not worth the price - place would be good for 125 eu max.
The location of the hotel is very convenient - it is on the shore of the lake, and 20 meters from the railway station Como Nord Lago, which connects with Cadorna station in Milan. Also there are some nice places to eat nearby as well as the city center. Also the design of the dining room is nice, makes the impression of a real castle! And the breakfast was fine: all the typical buffet food + salmon (which is not common at all for many 4 star hotels) + plate of different kinds of cheese + good selection of fruits! The room was a bit small and nothing special indeed. The dinner was expensive - we were offered 35 euro per person offer (that was already discounted price) including 3 meals from the menu and a bottle of mineral water. At the same time, u can find in nearby restaurants 18 euro per person touristic menu, including also 3 meals.
great location and fantastic view of the lake! the furniture where a little bit dated, but in good condition overall.
Breakfast and the localization. horrible rooms
Nice hotel and i recomended it.
Loved the position in Como, close to centre of the town,and found the staff very helpful. We were not in an expensive room but were given a corner room with views over the lake and the mountain. A little tricky connecting with internet.
I have booked this hotel for my daughter for her wedding reception Nothing that I know of
good location, great views, staff excellent bed quality was below expectations
arrived late to be greeted by a very helpful night receptionist, n/a
Staff very friendly, beautiful views of the lake. Room was very small for the price.
a typical italian hotel in the centre of everything the restaurant was very good only the manager was not so well dressed every day the same trousrs and sweater.
Good location & comfortable hotel Cleaners missed out parts of bathroom Could not ger a coffee mid afternoon
The service was very good. I only stayed one night and I warmly welcomed and accomodated. Could improve the WiFi and internet access.
Quiet and well placed in Como. Bar not open during evening - not sure why.
Charming Central stylish and good food. Nice old style None
The room was really good for us with four kids (two babies). It was good value for the price considering the breadfast was also included. some people say it is loud. It is not really quiet but it is in the middle of the city and keeping this in mind it was fine.
Gepflegtes Hotel im alten Stil an bester Lage. Gute Parkiermöglichkeit.
Central location and very nice room for the price. It was quiet, even though our room overlooked a bus stop and main intersection. Very large bathroom for Italy - we had a triple room - and the off street parking was very convenient. Quick check-in and service in the restaurant. Very small television in the room - need to replace with a small flatscreen.
Room was comfortable, space was adequate, quiet. Food service was excellent. Water damage stains on ceiling. the tv english channel, CNN did not show a picture--sound was ok
Good central location within easy walking distance of train stations, lake, shops, restaurants. In summer room overlooking square could be noisy but no problem off season. Bathroom and bedroom, although clean, look a little tired and could do with some renovation. Limited choice of breakfast
Ideally situated for all ameneties, close to the shopping area, with lots of restaurants and bars. Very helpful staff. Outside room was large and very clean and comfortable
Nice location, very hospitable and helpful staff. Easy to arrive from Milano Airports, excellent region for cycling. No bar in the hotel - I could´t get afternoon coffee or evening tea.
Great location near the lake, restaurants and the train station. Nice room overlooking the plaza. Friendly staff, very helpful with suggestions ; especially with places to eat supper
Good value - you get what you pay for. Beds and pillows very uncomfortable
convenient location
We loved the location, friendly helpful staff, good breakfast and quaint charm. Slow elevator
Great breakfast provided and the location was perfect in the middle of the small town and 10 minute walk to the railroad station.
very friendly staff, excellent location, great breakfast the shower was faulty
The personnel was very attentive. The room was clean and comfortable. Nice location.
nothing. Breakfast staff were very rude and surly. Accounts charged incorrectly this problem has now been resolved by E.mail.
Very good location. clean room. nice breakfast Hotel need urgently a renovation
the view is fantastic decor tired in rooms and lobby and restaurant/bar , the view saves the day ! comment, the hotels location means they dont have to try and impress ! I guess !
Location, Great Lake view Bec
I found the staff friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and clean.
the location and staff were excellent
Nice central position with great views of Lake Como and the mountains, convenient for exploring the whole area with good access from airports.
good time, good location, helpful staff
The restaurant was very good. The hotel was surrounded by one-way streets and it was difficult to go from/to the parking which was actually located in another hotel.
I loved its location (Barchetta is situated at the central plaza of Como) and the kindness of the hotel's staff. Everyone was very friendly and receptionists gave us very helpful information about the city. The breakfast buffet was not very impressive, given the fact that Barchetta is a 4star hotel.
lake view room was breath taking it needs renovation
its central location and helpful staff
Friendly staff. I wanted to exit the hotel to go running at 7am one morning and could not get out (the door was locked). I had to wait 15mins before a member of staff opened the door for me.
noise from ventilation shafts
rooms: it was modern, well decorated, clean. location is at city center. breakfast can be improved. it may include some vegetables. but it is ok.
We liked the central location of the hotel, both to the town, and to the stations. The hotel was clean and well run. The staff were friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast was was very good.WE Were extremely happy with our entire stay, so much so that we returned before flying out. Would have appreciated if the bar/coffee bar were open during the day/evening.
The hotel was right in the centre of Como, which was perfect.The rooms were nice and clean and had everything we wanted. The staff were professional and helpful. The only thing that let the hotel down was its breakfast. We have been to Italy on numerous occasions and it's the first time we have ever got bad coffee. I didn't think it was possible The coffee was terrible, and the bread rolls were stale, on both mornings which was disappointing (although we were saved by fresh croissants)
close to train station and town, large room (and bed)and bathroom. breakfast was basic and could be improved, hotel internet computer was not working and they didnt seem to care
Location in the centre Was no new soap after room cleaning, very poor breakfast
street noise
breakfast and the clean rooms no
Staff were friendly, helpful and the restaurant excellent. Our second stay here.Fabulous views of the lake. car and road noise quite intrusive but little can be done to reduce this.
Perfect view, perfect restaurant When I tried to cancel a second room on my second stay, no discount for variable cost
cleanliness and firiendliness and helpfulness
Waking up to the view of the Lake, quietness of location. One very snippy waitress at the morning buffet.
Staff were very friendly and obliging.
Fantastic view of the lake, especially at sunrise. Restaurant was amazing. No pool, someone else's hair was in the bathtub, and the parking spots in the garage were almost too small to park in and cost over 20 EUR to park. There are better locations in rthe esort towns with more frequent transportation access.
The location, relaxing atmosphere and restaurant The restaurant closes on a Monday and there is nothing of the same quality near by
Nice hotel and nice room The AC didn't work and I told them to fix it and nobody did. Terrible two nights of sleep
The location as a direct view to the lake Hotel services
The view was amazing! Excellent hotel and food. A good 30 minutes walk from the center but worth it.
Bathroom, size of room, nearby/associated restaurant, breakfast quite a long way from the highway
Staff all had excellent English and breakfast was lovely
Clean spacious room but with only a very small window (!)... Very friendly staff and good breakfast...
Handy location for my business.
Clean, pleasant, courteous. No bellhop. Small tube tv.
Swimming pool, friendly personnel, nice room No elevator, but there is a room with direct access to the parking.
Nice and clean rooms with all needed facilities Extra bed for a child in the room. Swimming pool access from the Junior Suites. Lounge furnitures close to room and swimming pool. Private parking.
easy to find breakfast wasn't to rich, and the last day the only one offered was the one in the hotel room - coffe&brioche
Very tidy hotel.Friendly, attentive personnel.Good private parking and high speed internet access is free of charge.Nice restaurant with traditional Italian food is located nearby.It's tasty meals were served quickly by very friendly waiters.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel very clean and neat.
service quality, location, very friendly pricing
Location is perfect: view on the lake is amazing + old fashioned style is great given the above, the facilities should correspond to the location - there was not enough washing stuff and bathtubs were not of a good quality.
Excellent location on the lake front, very friendly staff and a good restaurant with a beatiful terrace. The "superior rooms" were surprisingly small. The hotel seems to be renovating them incrementally as the standard in the three rooms of our group were quite different,
great position
The reception staff were excellent. Room was very comfortable n/a
Excellent renovated room (junior suite) in the new wing of the hotel. Breakfast variety limited
The room was lovely and the facilities were excellent. The availability of the restaurant on the terrace was a god send for tired travellers like us. We had a wonderful meal and the service was friendly and efficient. Thank you. The view of the lake was quite limited from this room. Perhaps it could be more accurately described as "lake glimpses!"
The receptionist was very friendly and helpful with directions to good restaurants outside the hotel. The hotel restaurant does have great food.
nice location room is small,and we cannot use TV.
We were taking an early train to Switzerland from the Como rail station and the location of the hotel was very near the station. We thought it was very overpriced compared to the other hotels we stayed in on our trip.
This hotel is well placed but suffers at present from work along the lake front. The superior double room would have been a good single room by four-star standards.

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
Smelled great, tasted bland
As it was cooking, the sauce smelled wonderful. However, it had little flavor. I had to doctor it up with various seasonings. I am disappointed with this recipe and feel it is not worth the time it took to make it.
Good, with the changes I made
Great start to the sauce. I cooked some chicken in the butter, made the roux and applied the rest of the recipe using mozarella and monterey jack cheese, and added the chopped chicken. Very good!
Easy and wonderful!
My kids are so picky, I thought for sure they would turn down this too, but to my surprise they loved it!
Fettuccine Alfredo
This is wonderful and easy. The family just loves it.
WOW! This meal is great! I usually double it to feed my family of 4. Great sauce! This is definately my upmost favorite meal on this site!

While the causes of depression remain unclear, we are fortunate to have many approaches which have helped countless people regain their lives. As there may be many factors involved in why an individual is depressed I always do a thorough assessment. While I am not adverse to psychiatric medications I have concluded that their use for depression is questionable, albeit an option when combined with therapies such as Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Behavioral Activation, and Logotherapy. I have found that taking a holistic approach, tailoring the therapy to the client and their world, is the best approach to treating depression.

Mood disorders, including depression, can be debilitating. Often, the people closest to us are not able to understand or help us to move past these issues. A positive, proactive and solution focused approach in therapy can help anyone to begin to address underlying issues and move through and beyond their depression, anxiety or any other mood disorder.

Depression can be a lonely and isolating experience. It can also be managed successfully with coping skills and the proper supports. I focus on self esteem building and addressing the painful self talk that might be adding to the depression cycle. Depression is also different for every individual and coming to understand how and why your depression impacts your life will be a major step in learning how to manage it and live a fulfilled hopeful life.

I help clients look at how past and current factors have led to their current depression. I have them change and/ or adapt their way of dealing with those issues in a way that allows them to feel better. I work with their primary physician and/or psychiatrist to determine if medication would be a helpful adjunctive therapy and if illnesses playing a role in the depression. I also teach clients ways to challenge their negative, distorted views of themselves and others to have a more positive and realistic approach to their lives.

Depression is the single most diagnosed problem in mental health. I believe it can be divided into two categories: situational depression and clinical depression. We all can experience sadness and changes in mood due to negative circumstances in our lives. I work with clients to examine the current issues, look into the past for previously successful solutions, and work toward implementing solutions in the future. Clinical depression is suspected of being genetically linked and found in families. It is usually triggered by a traumatic event which causes neurological changes. This is best treated with a combination of talk therapy and medication.

When you are feeling hopeless, experiencing periods of feeling deeply sad, lacking a sense of enjoyment in life and low have levels of energy, you may be depressed. With the help of anti-depressant medication and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, you stand a good chance that you can back on the road to happiness and wellbeing again. Together, we can help you gain an awareness of your automatic negative thoughts, reinforce more positive self-talk and teach you behavioral coping strategies to alleviate your symptoms of depression.

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Major depression affects individuals in many ways - you may experience a sad or depressed mood, or an inability to feel pleasure, feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness, or hopelessness, loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities, including sex, difficulty concentrating and complaints of poor memory, insomnia or oversleeping, appetite changes, which may include weight gain or loss as well as fatigue and lack of energy. WalkinTalkinTherapy assist with these symptoms thru combining a mild form of exercise with talk therapy.

Alan Pardew must have had to put up with the most abuse for a manager at St. James Park for a long long time, although it's hardly unusual for a manager in a bad run to get abuse from the fans, and we still have the image back in late 2007, of fans simply outraged and furious at big Sam Allardyce, with Sam looking straight ahead and chewing that gum of his furiously, as fans were hurling verbal abuse at him, and heaven knows what they were shouting, but they weren't compliments or about the weather, that's for sure.
John Carver and Alan Pardew yesterday
Carver anxious nobody can lip read what he was saying
This is what Alan Pardew said after the game yesterday:
"While I think it's important that we won against Cardiff, we were never going to do that and a win against Liverpool won't do it either."
"We need to make sure we start next season in the same place we started last season when we were challenging for Europe."
"We need to accept the criticism and make the right calls. I was proud of the players today. I'm just looking at Liverpool now. Our confidence has been lifted today."
"You have to be resilient. We've lost half the Premier League managers this year." "It's a thankless task and it was a difficult day. I make no bones about that."
"We lost a very good player in January and we hope to replace him and bring in three of four others in a couple of positions."
The big question for Mike Ashley after yesterday's all-out assault on both the manager and the owner himself – is has Alan Pardew lost all credibility with the Newcastle fans.
There are still fans who support Alan and still some fan organizations who blame the players rather than the manager, and it is true the players have looked hopeless and have under-performed all year.
Maybe their wages should be docked?
Ashley needs to decide whether Pardew is the man to take the club forward or not – and we should get to know what that decision is within about two weeks.
And on a personal level – and this is nothing to do with football, you have to at least admit that Pardew handled the situation as well as anybody could have, and it would have been easy for him to have turned against the fans, as they turned on him – but he didn't and kept his cool in what were very trying circumstances.
And we even won the game – but who would be a football manager these days?
And for those fans hoping Ashley will get out and sell up – there is no way Ashley will sell the club.
And if does try to sell – it could be the same outcome as the other two attempts he made – he will not get offers that are acceptable to him and meet his price of around £300M, so he can at least recuperate the money he has put into the club.
For some reason, people with the big money don't seem to see Newcastle United as a good investment, and we're not sure why.
Comments welcome.

GTA company: Xbox One, PS4 sales prove console gaming is not dead
Take-Two president Karl Slatoff says millions in sales for both systems proves console gaming is "alive and well."
We'll begin emailing you updates about %gameName%.
Console gaming is "alive and well," despite what the doubters might say, according to Take-Two president Karl Slatoff. Speaking during a BMO Capital Markets conference this week, the Grand Theft Auto parent company executive explained that Take-Two is "pleased and very excited" about the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 launches, with sales of 2 million each proving that console gaming is not doomed.
He tempered his comments by acknowledging that it's still "early days" and pointed out that new product releases in the holiday season typically sell out, even if they are not a success in the long run. All of that said, Slatoff said he is optimistic about the future of console gaming.
"But this was a little bit different because there is a lot of noise around the gaming industry in general and a lot of question about whether this console cycle will have the same juice as the previous console cycle," he said.
"And there are a lot of doubters about whether or not the console market in general is dead," he added. "And I think the successful launches for the PS4 and the Xbox One have proven that obviously console gaming is alive and well."
Also during the conference, Slatoff explained why the Grand Theft Auto franchise--the pillar of the publisher's portfolio--is released at a slower rate compared to other blockbuster franchises like Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed, which come out every year. He claimed the GTA franchise raises the bar with every new installment, and creating such industry-leading games isn't something that's likely to happen with a shorter development cycle.
"There is always a way to speed up development. And then you have to ask your question of do you want to? Is it the right business decision to make?" he said. "And if you could speed up development and not sacrifice quality and every time you come out with whether its GTA or different product, every time you came out with it, if you could do it and take video gaming to the next level--which is what happens every time GTA comes out, it sets a new standard for video gaming. If you could do that every year and if you could do that without tiring out your franchise then that would be a really good thing."
Another reason Take-Two doesn't release GTA games more regularly, Slatoff said, is because the company is committed to creating new franchises, so that in the event one series goes dry, another can fill its shoes.
"For us specifically, it's very important to invest in other products because we don't want to be ever in a situation where a product sort of runs its lifecycle and then there is nothing there to replace it. So we're very focused on new IP. So there is always an opportunity cost to dedicating all of your resources or the vast majority of your resources towards any one franchise," he said. "It may work really well in the short-term, but it's a very dangerous thing to do in the long-term and that is not something that we're interested in doing."
Slatoff said Take-Two always has room to improve regarding the efficiency of its development processes. But at the same time, he said the company is continuing to invest in new ways to drive consumer engagement in an effort to keep people playing longer. This includes creating compelling expansion content for games like Grand Theft Auto V.
"We have more tools in our disposal," he said. "And GTA Online is another example of that where we can keep the consumer engaged with the franchise in between these tentpole releases, so it doesn't matter quite as much when they come out."
Rockstar Games just this week released new content for GTA Online and has further updates planned for this month. In addition, GTAV's first story-based expansion content will launch in 2014.
