On Our Radar: Gap Launches Limited Edition Artist T-Shirt Collection
Gap will be unveiling a limited edition artist t-shirt collection set to launch in select stores and online May 15th. In celebration of the 2008 Whitney Biennial, Gap has joined forces with top contemporary artists in producing limited edition artist tees. Some artists include Chuck Close, Jeff Koons, Marilyn Minter, and Kiki Smith with t-shirt designs ranging from political messages to colorful abstract confections. I especially like the bright burst on the Glenn Ligon tee. The classically Gap ad campaign was shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin — Fab, as usual. Something to look forward to!

Follow the pop-rock trio as they spend a night of music and drinking around the Big Apple.
New York-based indie pop band, Fun., go on a night of merry-making and sold-out performances in the Big Apple for their new music video "Carry On". The single is the third track off the band's second studio album, "Some Nights". Previously-released songs include "We Are Young" and the title track.
Contrary to their break out video for "We Are Young", which was blissful and dreamlike, "Carry On" shows a much more realistic peek at what goes on in the lives of band members on tour. The video follows band members Nate Ruess (vocals), Andrew Dost (piano), and Jack Antonoff (guitar, drums) as they perform at Terminal 5 and go bar hopping at different pubs in New York.
Director Anthony Mandler, who also took charge of the band's "Some Nights" clip, gives "Carry On" a very documentary film-like treatment in terms of camera work and angle selections, adding to the realistic theme of the whole video. The camera also follows the band running through the busy streets, singing and dancing with crowds at karaoke bars, and resting in-between breaks at their live performance.
"Carry On" is a video that feels like an excerpt from a musical performance and undoubtedly has a more relaxed and inspirational anthem fueled even further by Nate Ruess' Freddie Mercury-like vocals. Jack Antonoff's guitar solo in the video is also reminiscent of Queen's.

Facebook irked by 'burger for friends' campaign
Burger King said Friday that pressure from Facebook has caused it to yank an application that gave members of the hot social networking website a Whopper for every 10 friends they dumped.
Before the Whopper Sacrifice Campaign was halted, 233,906 friends were "sacrificed" by Facebook users more interested in relationships with the global fast-food chain's specialty hamburgers, according to Burger King.
"While Facebook was a great sport, they did ask for changes that would have resulted in a different approach to our application," a Burger King spokesperson said. "Ultimately, based on philosophical differences, we decided to conclude the campaign."
The Burger King application could be installed free by Facebook users, who were then rewarded with a Whopper for every 10 names they removed from their rosters of friends at the website.
Changes sought by Facebook reportedly included ditching an application feature that sent deleted friends messages informing them that an online pal preferred a hamburger over them.
"We encourage creativity from developers and companies using Facebook Platform, but we also must ensure that applications meet users' expectations," said a spokesperson for the social-networking service.
"After constructive conversations with Burger King and the developer of the application, they have decided to conclude their campaign rather than continue with the restrictions we placed on their application."
The Whopper campaign website on Thursday offered an "Angry-gram" service that people could use to send animated insulting burgers to "let someone know they annoy the hell outta you."
Angry-grams are meant as jokes and not to be used for harassment, Burger King notes on the website.

Update on our budget situation
Birmingham City Council Chief Executive, Stephen Hughes, writes to all 26,000 council-based, non-schools staff in relation to the forthcoming budget consultation:
Dear colleagues
Council's Budget situation
As many of you may be aware, the Cabinet, Scrutiny Chairmen and Regulatory Committee Chairmen met with Senior Officers of the Council on 18 and 19 November to discuss the Council's approach to its budget for the next four years. I thought you might find it helpful to have some initial feedback from those meetings and some information on what happens next.
We began by updating Members about the impact of the Government's Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) on the Council's finances. Our current estimate of the total savings required over the next four years is now a bit lower than the £330m figure I previously told you about. But, in addition, the Government has decided to "frontload" the savings required by local government, which means that more than half the total savings have to be made in the first year, 2011/12. However, we still don't know the exact figures for Birmingham. There will be some greater clarity on 2 December when the Government announces the Revenue Support Grant Settlement for 2011/12 and subsequent years. We hope then to also know the details of other specific grants, but announcements on these may be delayed.
Nevertheless, the overall position is clear enough for Members to recognise we have a difficult financial situation to deal with. They also understand and support the need for Birmingham City Council to do its part in helping to reduce the financial deficit that the country has to deal with, and the importance of doing that to secure the financial stability and future growth of the UK.
Each of the Strategic Directors gave a presentation on the way in which their services needed to be re-designed and re-structured in order to best mitigate the impact on the public in general and our most vulnerable service users in particular. Whilst there were some matters of detail which Members wanted to change, in general they agreed that the proposed solutions were the ones to take forward notwithstanding the difficult decisions they would eventually have to take.
In consequence, elected Members have supported the need to start widespread and detailed consultation on these proposals, with all Councillors, staff and employee representations, service users, suppliers and the general public and business. This will happen in a number of different ways, specifically:
- An overall view of the financial situation, the proposed approach and a summary of Directorate changes is being prepared and will be widely disseminated probably early next week.
- Each Strategic Director will put in place detailed consultation arrangements with staff, service users and suppliers. Senior Managers will be briefed shortly and asked to cascade information to all other staff.
- A special edition of "Forward" is being commissioned to supplement information being provided through the electronic media, press and broadcasting so that every household in the city has the opportunity to contribute.
The proposals in their entirety will require a significant reduction in the workforce by a combination of natural wastage, early retirement and voluntary redundancy, transfer to other organisation structures and, as a last resort, by compulsory redundancy. The impact of workforce reduction will be helped considerably if individual staff are prepared to leave the Council voluntarily and you will be aware of the current exercise designed to help this happen.
Because of the risk of redundancies we will begin statutory consultation under employment law with the Trade Unions next week in order that Members are able to take into account all responses to consultation, whether statutory or otherwise, by the time they have to make final decisions at the Council meeting on 1 March 2011, when the budget for 2011/12 will receive full and final consideration.
Within the next week or so you will have much greater information about how our future budget is likely to affect you. I believe it is important that staff are told as soon as possible what the shape of the changes are likely to be, both so that you can contribute to the consultation, and so that you can think about and begin to plan your own futures. I cannot pretend that this is anything but difficult and painful. But I admire your dedication and commitment to Birmingham and I know that despite these changes I will be able to count on a continued professional and caring approach to the delivery of services. I am proud of you all and so should all of Birmingham.
Yours faithfully
Stephen Hughes (Chief Executive)

Changing Face of America Helps Assure Obama Victory
Barack Obama retained enough support from key elements of his base to win re-election, even as he lost ground nationally since 2008. In particular, Obama maintained wide advantages among young people, women, minorities, and both the less affluent and the well-educated.
Election 2012: A Milestone En Route to Becoming a Majority Minority Nation
The minority groups that carried President Obama to victory yesterday by giving him 80% of their votes are on track to become a majority of the nation's population by 2050. They currently make up 37% of the population, and they cast a record 28% of the votes in the 2012 presidential election.
How the Faithful Voted: 2012 Preliminary Analysis
Obama's margin of victory was much smaller than in 2008 and he lost ground among white evangelical Protestants and white Catholics. But the basic religious contours of the 2012 electorate resemble recent elections.
Latinos Voted For President Obama By Two-to-One
Obama's national vote share among Hispanic voters is the highest seen by a Democratic candidate since 1996. The Latino vote was an important building block for Obama's win in key states, including Colorado, Nevada and Florida.
Pew Research Center's Exit Poll Analysis on the 2012 Election
Pew Research Center analyzes the electorate, voter turnout and the issues that affected President Obama's reelection win in 2012.
Over Half of Registered Voters Have Watched Political Videos Online
Some 66% of registered voters who use the internet—55% of all registered voters—have gone online this election season to watch videos related to the election campaign or political issues.
Nonvoters: Who They Are, What They Think
A sizable minority of adults choose not to vote or are unable to vote. They will affect the outcome of the presidential election by their absence. Who are they?
Data: Trends in Voter Preferences Among Religious Groups
Interactive graphic summarizes the voting preferences of major religious groups, drawing on data from the latest survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
Catholic and Unaffiliated Latinos Support Obama; Evangelicals Divided
Three-quarters of Latino Catholics and eight-in-ten religiously unaffiliated Latinos support President Barack Obama's re-election, while just 50% of Latino evangelical Protestants prefer Obama and 39% support Mitt Romney.
Latino Voters Support Obama by 3-1 Ratio, But Are Less Certain than Others about Voting
Latino registered voters prefer President Obama over Republican challenger Mitt Romney by 69% to 21%; express growing satisfaction with the direction of the nation and the state of their personal finances; but are somewhat less certain than non-Hispanics that they will vote in this election.

Huddersfield UK (SPX) Aug 15, 2013
Humans originated in Africa. But what route did they take as they began to disperse around the world 60,000 years ago? A new professor at the University of Huddersfield has played a key role in finding the answer to one of the most fundamental questions in the history of mankind.
Professor Richards, who moved to Huddersfield from the University of Leeds, is a pioneer in the field -- one of just two professors of archaeogenetics in the world. He uses DNA evidence to study human origins, comparing data from modern samples across the world and occasionally to that which can be obtained from ancient sources such as skeletal remains and fossilised teeth. It leads to a vivid picture of the migration patterns of humankind and the origins of civilisation.
The article in PLoS ONE provides new evidence to indicate that early humans migrated into Europe after the Last Glacial Maximum but before Neolithic times, giving us a clearer picture of how early humans were developing at this time.
Professor Richards spent ten years as a researcher at Oxford University before first coming to the University of Huddersfield for a lecturing post in 2000. He then moved to Leeds, where he was awarded his professorship, before returning to Huddersfield, where he is currently equipping archaeogenetics research facilities. He is joined by his colleagues Dr Maria Pala, Dr Paul Brotherton and Dr Martin Carr.
One laboratory is being set up for the main molecular biology work and a separate lab built for the analysis of ancient DNA. There must be no risk of the evidence being cross-contaminated. "It's like forensics but even more so. It has to be in another building, segregated from the rest of the work we do here," said Professor Richards.
Postgraduates will be recruited to study archaeogenetics at Huddersfield -- to join an expanding field of research that aims to establish the history of the dispersal of human populations around the world.

Funkie Baby: Sushi Bib
Aahhhhh sushi for the kiddies! Although I'm not packing sushi lunches for daycare just yet, it doesn't mean the kids can't wear their food (not spills and slobber-mess) in style! I love print, the soak-proof under lining, and the fact that these can be tossed in the washer and dryer.

The Interaction of Implicit and Explicit Contracts in Repeated Agency
This article deals with experimental games as they pertain to game theory. As such there is a natural distinction between experimentation with abstract games devoted to testing a specific hypothesis in game theory and games with a scenario from a discipline such as economics or political science where the game is presented in the context of some particular activity.

Red Clay by Flint Hills is excellent for educational programs as it is versitile for almost every clay shaping technique. throwing a smooth red clay is difficult as it is too soft, but this makes for quite easy hand shaping. Red clay fires to a deep red color when fired at low temperatures. Red Clay becomes a terra-cotta color at around cone 6 oxidation firing. When using a potters wheel, potters may prefer a red clay with grog for more texture and strength. Red Clay fires at cone 5-8 oxidation.

Between 1958 and 1962, Ric and Ron Records captured the sound of a unique period in New Orleans music, when the first era of classic R&B was waning, and before the sounds of funk and soul music became the city's new signature. It was an exciting time, when talents such as Johnny Adams, Eddie Bo, Al Johnson, Irma Thomas and many others made their debuts on Ric and Ron singles.

A man is placing adverts in shop windows in an attempt to find love.
David Owusu-Akyeaw, 28, from Thornton Heath, has placed adverts in shops in Wallington and Croydon.
He has only been doing it for a few months but has already received about 10 responses.
Although some have been good he has also received phone calls from school kids messing around.
He said: "I thought it would be a good idea and would save money – online dating is so expensive.
"I'm looking to extend my family – I've already got two girls – I want two more boys then I will call it quits.
"I thought it would make more sense if me and the lady fall in love first."
When it comes to his "type" Mr Owusu-Akyeaw said he likes clean, attractive, taller women about the ages of 24-36.
But Mr Owusu-Akyeaw said he is quite open-minded when it comes to his type of lady but he said he likes caring women.
But he said: "Most importantly it's the state-of-mind – it's very important to me.
"If I can't fall in love with her mind it's going to be hard to go further."
Mr Owusu-Akyeaw is a self-employed musician who has been married before and is ideally looking to marry again.
He said he is a creative person who does a lot of reading; he spends a lot of time with his immediate family and sometimes goes to the golf range with his mum.
His ideal date would be abroad somewhere like Thailand or Switzerland but on a local level he said he likes going out for lunch or for a drink.
Are you a single lady looking to fall in love and family? If so call Mr Owusu-Akyeaw on 07830 677 517.

New home sales weakest on record
Page Tools
Sales of new homes in NSW have plunged to the lowest level since records began in the last recession, and the building industry sees years of weakness ahead.
While the market for new homes showed signs of stabilising elsewhere in Australia, sales in NSW fell 38 per cent for the year to June, the Housing Industry Association reported.
The slump in new home sales, renovations and construction across the state is closely linked to house prices, which have fallen further for longer in Sydney than in any other capital city.
Louis Christopher, of Australian Property Monitors, said Sydney prices had probably remained flat in the June quarter. But they could have declined for the fifth straight quarter. "There's certainly a chance we'll see another quarter of negative growth in June."
The Housing Industry Association said the market for new homes in Sydney had been "crunched" by high household debt and would not recover quickly. "Consistent with all other housing indicators, new home sales in the state continue to point to an extremely weak situation," said the association's senior economist, Harley Dale.
NSW has one-third of the national population but accounted for just 12 per cent of new home sales in the June quarter.
"We expect residential building activity to continue falling away for each of the next two years," Mr Dale said.
While house prices tend to lead construction, the fortunes of the construction industry tend to flag those of the broader economy. Economic output grew 0.7 per cent nationally in the March quarter but contracted 0.1 per cent in NSW. Growth is expected to stay subdued for the rest of the year.
"This is what happens when you're on the other side of a housing bubble," said Chris Richardson, a director of Access Economics. "There is nobody further on the wrong side than NSW." He said high house prices had also hurt population growth, which was "the biggest economic driver of all".
The NSW Government last month highlighted a jump in home sales in May as evidence the state economy was strong.
But yesterday's figures show sales fell 14 per cent in June to levels not seen since before the 1990 recession.
The 38 per cent drop in annual NSW home sales compares with smaller falls in Victoria and Queensland. Sales in Western Australia rose 23 per cent, thanks largely to the minerals boom.
Mr Richardson said NSW home owners had a degree of "mortgage fear" not experienced elsewhere.
Expectations of interest rate rises eased yesterday after an inflation measure for production prices showed high oil prices and rising wages were not flowing down the production chain. The producer price index rose 0.7 per cent in the June quarter. Prices rose 1.7 per cent at the intermediate stage of production, the Bureau of Statistics said, and 2.3 per cent at the primary stage.
Jarrod Kerr, an economist with JPMorgan, said the figures showed businesses, not consumers, were wearing the burden of higher production costs.

The resort was absolutely beautiful! I can't say enough about how friendly the staff were too. Our room was very nice, with a view of the ocean where we could watch the sunset every night. The pool area is great, as is the beach. Highly recommend this resort for a great place to relax and rejuvenate! The food was quite pricey. The buffet is well worth it but the quality/portion sizes of the pool-side food were not worth the price.
Railay is the wonderful place. We enjoyed our holidays there. Thai massage is the best in Railay Bay Resort&Spa. A lot of boats near swimming area.
The view, the beach, the pool and my room's outdoor shower. The bed was very hard and the ac in my room sounded like a jet plane.
Location, room was ok, restaurant was better than others at railay beach Staff were poorly trained, unattentive and did not care about guests. Service in restaurant was slow. Hotel feels old, and expensive for what you get. Beach gets very noisy during day as boats come from Au nang
They were so rude that I was a single American female traveler even though I'm very polite. They over charged me 100 US dollars, that I now have to deal with when I get home. That's a lot in Thailand! Rooms weren't that cleaned. Pretty sure the "day bed" had bed bugs. Hated this Hotel!
The location was amazing. There was a terrible smell of sewage. Once we kept the fan on for a while in the bathroom it would go away. But because the electricity goes off when you remove the room key it smelled for a while when ever we returned to the room.
Great location on beach and easy to get to after arriving by longboat.A very good breakfast with fantastic view.Good friendly service. Room needed a small table and chairs, and also not comfortable to watch TV. Not really deluxe as compared to similar priced hotels on Phi Phi or Ao Nang.
I absolutely loved everything about it. It's not exactly cheap but it's well worth having a splurge and staying there. I couldn't fault it. Nothing to say.
The accommodation was amazing ( i stayed in a deluxe bungalow) and in wonderful surrondings. The resort has been thoughtfully designed for the guests comfort. Two pools, the second of which is not near the beach and is much quieter. The staff were brilliant and always helpful. I recommend that you use the hotel airport transfer service to avoid a long walk accross the beach with your luggage. West Railay beach is beautiful and stunning location. No negative points to report - I had a wonderful stay
excellent hotel,big rooms and good breakfast, location was excellent.
The staff at the hotel were great and they upgraded us when we had noisy neighbours. tHE location is fabulous. THE hotel is quite run down in parts. tHERE was quite dodgy electrics - wires hanging out in the garden etc and the plumbing was ordinary. tHE toilets in both rooms smelled constantly and there were open drains besides the COTTAGES.iT could be a fabulous place with a bit of upgrading. I have marked that I would not recommend - but I probably would suggest it's a great location but to be careful about which rooms you book.
The hotel was very clean and the facilities are so good
Proximity to the beach, restaurants and shopping area None
nearby shopping area, easy to get HALAL food, lots of muslim in Krabi, good surroundings, lots of spa nearby internet connection was expensive 30 min for 100baht, not free, because it was raining season, reserved for a standard bungalow nearer to the beach instead got a room nearby the swimming pool. The reason i reserve a room there was to get a room nearby the beach. Hotel needs to refurbish, quite old.
Hotel has got a very good location, bugalows are located within great garden and hotel has also their own beach, city center is just behind the corner with the great access to shops, bars and restaurants Bungalows are very basic, not relevant to the price. Breakfast was the same for all 7 days of our stay - though food was OK. Lack of attractions for kids. In summery I would expect a bit better standard for this price but in general hotel is worth further recommendations for families without kids.
I liked the location on a semi private beach. The hotel is eco friendly and melts into the backdrop of mountains and palm trees I did not like the rather surly unsmiling and unfriendly attitude of a number of staff members. I did not like the mix up over my room allocation as having paid for a sea view deluxe room I was initially allocated a room with nil sea view.which wasted my time in changing rooms.The departure transportation was not well arranged with insufficient information given to us.
I loved everything about this wonderful resort. It is a paradise indeed. Nothing. Everything was just perfect.
Absolutely stunning views from balcony, staff were excellent, lovely pools etc. room was not available on arrival and so we ended up having to downgrade. The manager said it was the fault of booking.com - as he didnt receive the booking in time for our arrival. Also very difficult to get to, so quite isolated. Monkeys and big hill walk to get anywhere, as shuttle boat doesnt always run.
staff were very polite and helpful, beautiful location restaurants expensive, not enough shuttle boats to mainland
In general, this hotel is basically more suitable for those who craves for serenity and relaxing moments. Me and my husband booked for Spa Deluxe Sea view with outdoor jacuzzi, and we got the best room location. The view frm our balcony is really breath-taking. The hotel staff even surprised us with some extra welcome romantic deco and anniversary cake because it was our anniversary trip. I'm very happy and impressed with the room that we stayed in. The only set back is the location of the htl a bit inconvenient for shopping activity, and the food in the hotel is rather expensive with a poor quality. Dining-out would be the better choice. The htl provides a shuttle boat every 2hrs (depends on the tide) to go to Ao nang town which is good -I would say the quality of the food in the hotel restaurants is rather a disappointment with that kind of price. The buffet breakfast is good, but can be better. The customer service staff is not as friendly as they should be
The location was amazing and the staff tried extra hard to be helpful and friendly. We were surprised to find the resort needed refurbishment, and the rooms were a bit worn. We upgraded to a pool villa which was in much better condition. The comparison between the rooms and villas made all the difference.
everything,the landscape was fantastic. very,very nice place no
The kindness services from the staff and the stunning view from our room. Great hotel/resort for a relaxing holiday.
Great hotel for families.
It was a perfect getaway for me. I wanted to be away from the bustling crowds and immerse myself into a time of relaxation. The spa was nothing to shout about, but the location of the resort itself made it one of the best holidays I've had. The deserve every star of the five star rating they have been given. Friendly staff who know you by name, go all out to ensure your stay is pleasant. I'll definitely go back for more.
Amazing room, cleanliness, staff was nice, right on the beach, good wifi It was very cheap for the quality by USD standards, but hotels on the east side that are pretty comparable can be found for much cheaper and just a slightly longer walk from the beach.
the staff was very friendly! it was no problem to upgrade to a superior room (with air condition, a lot nicer than the "basic room").
The location on West Railay is excellent The standard of the room was low and needed some updating
We liked the hotel, we had a great time there. We were undecided but this is the cheapest hotel on the West Coast on Railay (which is the one you want to be staying at). Decent value or money although the facilities are a little old but it does the job and it is conveniently located and staff is pleasant and promptly responsive. We booked for one night but we ended up staying for 3 nights. The massage at the hotel is of a great quality, the best I had in Thailand on this trip. I did not quite understand the choice of placing a pond of singing frogs right in the middle of the passageway to the beach, they were really loud at night. but otherwise no complaints.
Beautiful beach! The best! The junior suites are a little older and musty.
As far as the location this was a great deal. You definitely want to be on West Railay. East is cheaper, but it smells a bit like an open sewer. We were just a minute walk from the beach with access to two pools, a tasty buffet breakfast and easy access to the other parts of the peninsula. No complaints!
The West Railay Beach makes this resort. It's magnificent!
The pool and the view were amazing. The trip to the airport was an adventure (truck, speedboat, golf car and taxi). The staff makes us wait a long time for the room.
Really nice hotel
Quartos lindos,modernos e aconchegantes. Staff muito atencioso. Restaurante com Chef excelente e café da manhã no estilo buffet delicioso! Infelizmente a Praia do hotel é um mangue, Mas mesmo assim tem a vista linda e da pra ir andando para Todas as outras praias tranquilamente .
nice little hotel, quite large standard room, very nice location, nice garden, friendly people breakfast is very poor
The staff was generally very friendly. The location is away from busy street and quiet, which I was looking for. (It is not hotel's fault that in room next to ours, some drunken fool got home at 3am and then started yelling into his phone for 30 minutes... Unfortunately, inconsiderate idiots like our "neighbor" are going on vacations, too). Despite my "complaints" below, I enjoyed our stay. If below's issues were fixed I would rate it a 5 star instead of a 4 star. At start of breakfast time restaurant is understaffed, hence one waits for coffee, etc. After about 8am sufficient staff is present and helpful. One thing I did not like is that no late checkout (just an hour later than normal, at 1pm) was not granted, due to "being fully booked". I have spent 150-200 nights every year in hotels (since about 1997) and know that such a request can be honored, no matter how fully booked it is. Check in is at 2pm ... gives staff a full hour to clean the room... I don't remember the last time when a late checkout request has not been accomodated. Wifi in room is too slow. Charging 60% MORE for airport transfer than a (clean) taxi (800 baht vs 500 baht) is a little unreasonable, I think.
The pool area was good for adults and kids, the rooms were nice and the staff very good. Cocktails at pool bar average
we have had a very nice time
vacancy yes
The swimming pool is great and rooms were very comfortable. Staff were attentive and helpful. Breakfast is very good. A bit too family friendly - children always using the business centre and also children were welcomed in the "bar" where they were always singing karoke - which makes it not an appealing place for adults to go to have a drink and socially mix. The beach directly in front of the hotel is very disappointing.
spacious room, friendly staff, contemporary design none
location is good, close to Ao Nang town Breadfast is so poor; Washroom in our room has odour smelling; reques to delay the check out till 2pm as flight is at night, but the receptionist refused us, actually many rooms were empty
Probably the best located hotel in Ao Nang.I love the hotel surrouding and features. Near the sea. Look very modern. It has a small beatiful garden. What I like the most of the hotel is the swimming pool. I can see the green garden and it feels so comfortable, relax away from city and they have another small one for my baby. The room is spacious too!.
Such a relaxing place!
The hotel staff were superb at the hotel - always polite and helpful. The rooms were very spacious and luxurious.
Sala Talay is a contemporary designed hotel in a quiet location yet close to all amenities. The staff were all very friendly and courteous. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. At checkin they wanted to upgrade us to the pool side room, however we did not like the lack of privacy, so they upgraded us to grand deluxe room instead, which was great. Would not recommend the pool side room unless you are traveling with children. Rooms lack privacy, but are great for kids who can jump straight in to the pool.
Everything! Es ist das schönste Hotel in Ao Nang. Absolut super!!!
Luxury hotel with modern style. Very newly built. Very nice spacious clean -luxury rooms (especially that with the pool access). Nice beach but you have to cross the road to get there. At the beginning of silent district 5min walk to Ao Nang beach.
pool, design
Amazing boutique hotel. Friendly staff. Service with a smile. Breakfast was good but not fantastic. And would prefer a flat screen tv in the room.
Very nice settings and surrounding that generate a very nice view at the sea and islands. The food And drinks are of good quality
This hotel offered the utmost relaxation. It's location is secluded and perfect for people (like us) who wanted to get away from it all. The staff were very attentive and friendly. They offered personalized service. Nothing.
Friendly staff, hotel clean, close to the beach, good restaurants, it really was 5 star. The hotel is fairly quite and a little way out but they do run a shuttle service to other towns.
Beautiful hotel in the tropical forest with marvellous beach and sea -- like a paradise, excellent service and very comfortable rooms. We liked all, everything. Guys in the beach are very attentive. Bellini restaurant as well as Lotus serve very good food. Mind-relaxing massage in spa is amazing! Would be nice to have manicure in spa. One free shuttle to Ao Nang at 4 pm might be not enough.
Friendly staff, great with our young kids, good service at the restaurants and the food was quite good. Amazing breakfast buffet. Loved the toy box for kids by the kiddie pool. Great view of the ocean and sea stacks from the beach. Happy hour at the Sunset Lounge is a great deal! Good wifi for free. Property is a little dated, could use a remodel soon. Rooms smelled slightly mildewy. The location is a little secluded, so for day trips you have to take a taxi to Ao Nang pier, about 20 minutes (and $3USD per person each way), then a long tail boat from there. The pool seems a little corroded. There were stone seats in the pool that were too rough to sit on because of corrosion. The elephant fountains at the pool weren't working. Pool chairs are VERY close together and there aren't many so you have to scramble to get one. Would have liked a free taxi from the airport. As it was, the hotel was going to charge more than a regular taxi, so we opted to hire our own driver from the airport.
The private beach and exclusiveness of the hotel but that also mean it's pretty far from other F&B outlets, town etc. As above
most hospitable staff that i have come across anywhere and a view of the sea out of this world
Staff and facilities were great. Can reccommend the thai cooking course at the resort!
the calmness and the beautiful nature the mosquitos
Hotel is very beautiful and room is very clean Location is far away from the town. Breadfast has not too much choices.
Location off the hotel is great! food, tourist information & shopping is just around the corner. We were impressed that the hotel provides stuff for beach side activity eg, mat, sandels, umbrellas, towel and a bamboo carrier for it. Breakfast could be improved. very limited choices.
I dont like Ao Nang but we really liked this hotel, the staff was constantly smiling and quick to assist and the rooms had a wiew worth paying for, specially the ones on the top floor.
It was near from the beach, 10m walking, and near from the main streets were the shops and nightlife is located. The pool is really nice and has great views. The breakfast is ok. The first night we had two beds joined horizontally, not vertically as normal!!!!! Needless to say our backs were killing us in the next day. I complained to the concierge and she imediatly changed us to a room with one single bed but still the first night was awfull! The beach located near the hotel is not from far one of the best beaches around and the nightlife located near is what can be said gentleman focused, as is not something a couple or a family would apreciate. Finally the bedrooms smell like they don´t get much air!!
Great pool with best view in town
The staff was friendly and helpful. The buildings are modern and stand our from the rest of the hotels/business on the main road. The included breakfast was excellent. The price does not match the experience. The room is mediocre. The mattress was uncomfortable and felt used. I could feel each metal spring. There were small bugs (akin to ants, but not ants) in multiple places in our room even though we were on the third floor above the ground. Definitely not the $90+ room I expected in a resort. The shower was built poorly such that splash from the shower gets under the shower wall and into the other areas of the bathroom, such as around the toilet. I would definitely not be returning to Cliff Resorts and I would look for other hotels in the area.
Great hotel in a good location for Aonang main strip / beach but elevated from the road so the noise isn't a problem so long as you get one of the front rooms facing the pool area not the road. Staff were excellent especially reception who were very helpful with all aspects of our stay even arranging our next transfer to Ko Phi Phi. Rooms were generous size and perfectly clean. Hotel provides beach mats / towels for you to take to the beach. The lounger area around the pool is quite cramped with only a limited number of sun beds quite close together. There are plenty of other unused others around the hotel during the day but they don't have loungers.
Rooms were clean and newly remodeled. Breakfast staff was good and the food was great! Two small pools were okay, the infinity pool had an amazing view!! The people working at the front desk did not seem friendly upon check in! I need assistance with their phone system (to dail an outside line) they would not offer to help. Upon checkout we had to wait over an hour for the staff to check our room.... This happened throughout our stay in Tailand but usually only took 5-10 minutes. This hotel made everyone wait for over an hour. Terrible.

07/30/12 6:34AM By Charlotte Albright

Their decline inspired a new audio art exhibit at the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park in Woodstock.
Most bat sounds are inaudible to the human ear. The high frequency calls create sonic echoes, so the bats can navigate at night and detect predators. But the calls can be recorded using special machines. That's what ecologist Kent McFarland was doing back in 2001 when he took a bat inventory near a pond at the National Historic Park in Woodstock.
For the bats, it was party time.
"About 65 bats were crossing in front of the machine night after night," McFarland recalls.
Last year, McFarland took his equipment back to that pond, and he managed to record only two bats. The rest, presumably, had been stricken in their caves by white nose syndrome.
"Even though you're used to that idea and you got that idea in your head, to actually then witness the quietness- that was pretty shocking," says McFarland.
Enter Andrea Polli, a new media artist from Albuquerque who is in residence this summer at the park. She hadnever heard of the bat die-off and wanted to make art celebrating their mysterious lives. Amplified by special software, the calls sounded to her like electronic music. She started manipulating the sound waves.
"I felt like there was a wide artistic license to stretch the sounds and change the pitch and play around with them because they are really not something that we can hear with our ears," says Polli.
She creates and displays her work in a new gallery converted from a pony barn. The bat music spills out of a table top speaker.
Polli is fascinated not only by the natural history of Vermont, but also its industrial heritage-including glass making, at the nearby Simon Pearce studio. So her audio exhibit also features about a dozen listening devices loosely based on an invention by a nineteenth-century scientist named Hermann von Helmholtz.
"And they are glass vessels, glass spheres with two holes in them, one for your ear and one to help the sound resonate," Polli explains.
The globes hang from the ceiling. If you put your ear to one hole, you hear a barely audible echo of the bat music spilling out of the nearby speaker.
Scientist Kent McFarland wonders how all this would sound to a bat.
"It does sound spacey to me" he says. "But to a bat? I've no idea. It would be impossible for us to know, I think."Even if the bats are dying, their calls live on in an audio exhibit that sounds at times like a chorus out of this world.

Australian's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said that the deal should be assessed on the basis of national interest.
Last week, China teamed up with US firm Alcoa to buy 12% of Rio's London-listed shares for $14.05bn (£7.1bn).
The state-owned Aluminium Corp of China (Chinalco) said the purchase was China's largest investment overseas.
Chinalco's president Xiao Yaqing met with Australian ministers to ease concerns that it may try to launch a takeover of Rio Tinto, which is listed in Australia and the UK.
"The reason we have Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) guidelines and a foreign takeovers act is to ensure that the Australian national interest is always met," Mr Rudd said.
"Deliberations on any significant foreign equity in an Australian firm, whether it's from the United States, Japan, China...those guidelines are there, they will be applied," Mr Rudd said.
The deal, financed by the state-run China Development Bank, does not automatically qualify for a review by the Australian regulator.
'Aggressive intervention'
China's stake in Rio Tinto could stall efforts by the world's largest miner, BHP Billiton, which is also Anglo-Australian, to buy Rio.
"The Chinese fear that a combined BHP/Rio could have excessive control over the price and supply of the raw materials, such as iron ore, that feed the great Chinese manufacturing machine," BBC Business Editor Robert Peston said.
"It was the most aggressive intervention in a western commercial deal ever made by the Chinese," the BBC's business editor said.
BHP must make a firm offer for Rio by 6 February or shelve plans for six months.
Rio Tinto had asked the UK's Takeover Panel to force BHP to formalise its all-share bid, worth around $140bn.
In November BHP proposed an offer that involved swapping three BHP shares for every Rio Tinto share.
Rio has so far spurned BHP's overtures, saying it fundamentally undervalued it and its growth prospects.
Alcoa and Chinalco said on Friday they didn't intend to make an offer for the whole of Rio Tinto.
But they said they reserved the right to do so if Rio received a firm bid from a third party.
Chinalco and Alcoa invested in Rio through a Singapore-based entity, with Alcoa contributing up to $1.2bn.
The Chinese firm owns 8% of the total firm, which is also listed in Australia, and exercises control of 9% through its partnership with Alcoa.
Deep pockets
The Rio acquisition is China's latest big overseas purchase, as the country uses its deep pockets to secure access to natural resources and other strategic industries.
Outbound deals from China nearly doubled last year to $29.5bn, according to data from Thomson Financial.
The biggest such deal was Industrial and Commercial Bank of China's (ICBC) $5.6bn investment in South Africa's Standard Bank.
China's deal-making has raised concerns in places like the US, that fears a loss of control in key industries.
In 2005, China's $18.5bn bid for US oil producer Unocal stumbled in the face of political opposition.

If any new evidence of alleged corruption during the administration of a former Cambridge mayor is presented to the Guernsey County prosecuting attorneys office, an investigation will be requested by local and federal authorities, Prosecutor C. Keith Plummer said today.
As of this morning, he said, no evidence other than what was investigated in 2001 had been presented to his office.
The 2001 investigation did not yield sufficient evidence to bring a prosecution against former mayor, C. Charles Schaub, or any of his associates, Plummer said.
It was learned that prosecutors met Tuesday with Mayor Sam Salupo, Service-Safety Director John Jones, Police Chief Richard Wayt and Capt. Randy LePage of the Cambridge Police Department to review allegations of alleged wrongdoing in the administration of Schaub, who was mayor here from January 1980 to December 1999.
Plummer said his office received allegations in 2001 from the current (Salupo) administration regarding the previous (Schaub) administration. That information was referred to the Cambridge Police Department and the FBI, and there was an investigation at that time.
The prosecutors office reviewed what that investigation revealed, and it was determined in consultation with federal authorities there was not sufficient evidence to warrant a criminal investigation, Plummer said.
Involved in the review of any evidence at that time were the Cambridge Police Department, the FBI, the United States Attorneys Office and the local prosecutors office, Plummer said.
What that alleged evidence of wrongdoing was has not yet been made public since no criminal charges were filed.
In consultation with the U.S. Attorneys Office, it was decided not to prosecute, Plummer said, and since that time no other new information about the former administration has been provided by the current administration or federal officials.
Last week, the Salupo administration said it would pursue a new investigation into alleged corruption in the Schaub administration. Alleged was legal, ethical and moral wrongdoing.
Mayor Salupo said several months ago that his administration would pursue a new investigation of his predecessor and political opponent, regardless of the outcome of the Nov. 4 election.
On Election Day, unofficial totals showed Schaub with a three-vote margin over Salupo. But absentee and provisional ballots were counted by the Board of Elections on Monday, and Salupo took a five-vote lead. Because of the margin of victory, state law mandates a recount, which will be conducted Dec. 2.

Midweek Music Video: Days by The Drums2014-06-18 Share Tweet
As far as mystery thrillers of recent pasts go, The Drums certainly hits the right spots with the dark and old TV effects with this music video for "Days." But don't let that scare you — allow yourself to be entertained by the trippy, youthful sound of this Brooklyn-based band.
A brief wading in the intro of "Days" by *The Drums* and you're immediately hit with 1980s electro pop tunes that are nothing short of nostalgic. For a band that is fairly young in the music industry, The Drums set themselves apart from the usual poppy noise that we hear on the radio.
Going to the music video, it is evident in the 3D effects that the four minute thirty second number will become a trippy ride to the not so distant past. Showcasing old-style television static and noise as well as blue and red outlines for silhouettes, the music video for "Days" fits the bill for the laid back tune of the songs. As far as effects and visuals go, they easily go well with the band's indie tones and relaxed approach.

Brief History
Bracehand Ltd is the decendant of "Smart & Brown
(machine tools)"Formally of London Road, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire.The SuperforgeThe 400The 1024The L ModelThe
The 1024The Smart & Brown 10245.5" x 24" toolroom lathe was manufactured from
the late 1950s and until the early 1990s (in variable-speed drive form) - and is still very much sought after today as an
example of a machine tool which was produced to the highest possible standards and not down to a price. On the original
Mk. 1 model 12 spindle speed were available, from 30 to 2500 rpm, and the headstock pulley ran on its own ball journal bearings
concentric with, but independently of, the main headstock spindle.A 3-speed, 3-phase motor rated 1/1.5/2 H.P. was located
in the base and drove upwards to a two speed gearbox which incorporated a multi-disc friction clutch to smooth out the speed
changes. The speed-change gearbox was operated by a lever and all speeds could be changed without having to move a belt
from pulley to pulley. The heat-treated spindle with a Type D1-4" nose and running in SKF type N.N.30.K double-row
cylindrical roller bearings was bored 1 1/4" and accepted collets up to 1" in capacity. Filtered oil was pumped
automatically to the headstock, speed-change and screwcutting gearboxes whilst the apron was lubricated by a small pump contained
within its base which was activated by the sliding action of the carriage assembly. The lathe bed was constructed from
a high-grade nickel iron, machined and flame hardened, provided with what the designers
considered the best combination of V and flat surfaces to locate and maintain the relative positions the headstock, carriage
and tailstock over a very long service life. The lathe was mounted on a cast-iron base of great weight and rigidity.The
Mk. 2 version was produced as the "1024 VSL" which, whilst having the same capacity and being mechanically almost
identical to the Mk. 1.The overall view of the Mk 2 was enhanced to give the more modern look by altering the rounded shapes
of the headstock ,tailstock and top slide castings to a more appealing square shape this made it look modern
with a tool tray cast into the headstock lid, it was fitted with a very effective push-button-controlled variable-speed drive
unit that gave both forward and reverse speeds from 40 to 2500 rpm from a 3-phase, 3 hp (2.25 Kw) motor. Dual metric/English
micrometer dials and a coolant system were fitted as standard and the automatic lubrication of the leadscrew, saddle, apron
and headstock was carried over from the Mk. 1. Smart and Brown concentrated on toolroom-class lathes. They quickly developed a range of ingenously
designed machines which found favour in toolrooms and research departments all over the world. All Smart & Brown lathes
were superbly finished, built to the very highest standards and included many thoughtful touches to help the operator.

The 400
This was Smart and Browns most powerful Lathe it was built to celebrate 40 years, it was reported to take a 1" cut
on dia without even a flicker from the amp meter.
The name 400 is in relation to the swing over the Bed (400mm)
It's power unit was a D.C SHUNT wound with thyristor, it's frame was a D160 foot mounted with Force vent cooling
side mounted fan, giving with the controller a speed range of 50 to 4,700rpm at 50Hz Field weakening to give 10.7 Kw
(14.3 hp) at 1000 rpm.

The chart above shows the breakdown of the current federal inmate population by type of offense, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. There are currently 93,876 Americans serving time in federal prisons for drug crimes, which is by far the No. 1 offense that results in a federal jail sentence (see chart). Drug offenders make up almost half of our federal inmate population, and that help explains why the U.S. retains the status as the World's No.1 Jailer with a prison population of 730 per 100,000 population, more than even any of the world's most notorious and oppressive regimes like Burma (120 per 100,000 population), Cuba (510 per 100,000 population), and Iran (333 per 100,000).

Splitting a project - GUI
Splitting a project - GUI
Nov 22, 2012 at 9:41am UTC
I'm trying to split a project that I have written into two separate parts.
I currently have a c++ project with a front end programmed in Win API.
The front end is encompassed in a module(named front end) and the actual workings of the program are in another part (named recovery).
Recovery calls several other modules for the workings of the program.
As programming in WinAPI is tedious and the GUI itself doesn't do any major processing (recovery does so want to keep it as pure C++ rather than Visual Studio managed code), I want to change this to a VS project and use they GUI tools, but still keep the recovery module as it is.
I was thinking I could convert the recovery and associated modules to DLL's and then link them to the GUI project, however this could cause problems when I need to debug the program and would like to be able to run the project straight from VS as I can now.
Is it possible to add a VS GUI project to my project without changing the whole code to VS managed code?
Or is there a better solution.
Sorry if any of this is unclear!
Edit: Using Visual Studio 2010

It sounds like a reasonable approach. If that recovery thing is made into a DLL then any interface can use it.
I don't quite understand what the difference is between the GUI you have and the proposed GUI.
Nov 23, 2012 at 7:55am UTC
Currently, the entire GUI is written in API, which is tedious to change and update.
The new GUI uses the Visual studio forms, however as I understand it, this means it moves to managed code (slightly slower), I wanted to keep my recovery module as quick as possible and write in pure C++.
The GUI can be a lot slower and therefore can be made using managed C++.

The Civitas Institutes latest poll was bad news for North Carolina's two most prominent trial lawyers-politicians. Right here in his home state John Edwards finds himself in a dead head with Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton 22%
John Edwards 24%
Barach Obama 22%
In politics, when the folks at home – who know you best – start voting for someone else it's time to find a new occupation.
The Republicans' most prominent trial lawyer, Salisbury Attorney Bill Graham, got some teeth gnashing news too. Graham spent a million dollars on issue ads last year to get a head start in his race for Governor. According to the Civitas Poll, he needs to spend around five million more.
Bill Graham 10%
Patrick Ballantine 15%
Bob Orr 8%
Fred Smith 3%
Here's an idea for Graham: Think of all the things you can do with five million dollars. You can buy a villa in the south of France and live on the Riviera for the next eight years – instead of in a cold, damp Victorian 'Gingerbread House' on Blount Street.

The New York Times Book Review calls multiple-award winner Peter Dickinson "a stylist of subtle brilliance". Always surprising and incisive, the author of The Yellow Room Conspiracy and dozens of other unique novels returns with his first new book in five years; and proves again that in his masterful hands, powerful drama and devastating secrets can be found at the heart of even the smallest mysteries.
For nearly her whole life, through most of the twentieth century, Rachel Matson saw the world through the lens of a camera, and produced stunning photographs that not only captured the moment but hinted at a greater truth. Now the ninety-year-old widow lies paralyzed, in the final stages of a debilitating illness. Yet while Rachel's body may be useless, her spirit remains indomitable, her mind razor sharp, and her eye, the trained eye of an artist, still picks up the most telling details. Together with her vast collection of photographs, these gifts are about to help her meet an extraordinary challenge, as she confronts a shattering mystery that harkens back over the decades...
On a television program that showcases heirlooms, an antique pistol that belonged to her late husband, Colonel Jocelyn Matson, turns up, leaving Rachel bewildered and then profoundly disturbed. How could the prized Ladurie -- one of a matched pair of dueling pistols she had given to him to commemorate his return from the horrors of a Japanese POW camp -- appear hundreds of miles away in the possession of a stranger?
Determined to learn the fate of Jocelyn's gun, Rachel falls back on the one thing left to her -- her intellect -- and soon begins the painful process of teasing the past from the shadows. Whatemerges from the vivid shards of her memories is a mesmerizing tale of honor, passion, and betrayal that stretches from colonial India to modern-day England ...a tale of a loving marriage interrupted by war, of a once-proud reg
