"The overall experience was very nice. The hotel is..."
The overall experience was very nice. The hotel is a small and quiet place, away from the city. The rooms are well appointed and very clean. Each room has a balcony. even the duplex rooms are good and nice for big families. The food is excellent. The menu is not very ellaborate but excellent taste.
"Good hospitality and excellent interiors "
1) Food - Tastier, up to the mark continental breakfast was yummm. 2) Rooms - Comfortness with proper electricity in good responses for room services. 3) Cleanliness - Good maintenance and hospitality. 4) Nature - Hotel located in a scenic place, pleasant environment, cool place. 5) Interior - Excellent and well furnished. Suggestions: 1) Spacious washroom needed. 2) Should provide some offers and discounts on spa related things. 3) Since the hotel is situated towards interior from the main road, proper indications is required for travellers to reach the hotel.
"True luxury hotel in a very affordable prices "
I tried out this hotel for the first time and I was relaxed and felt very comfortable with the hotel's hospitality and kind staff. Hotel was in easy accessible location and looks very royal and luxurious. Very tremendous hotel with very nice interiors and lightnings. Check-in was easy and I booked a deluxe rooms in a very reasonable prices. The room was very charming, nicely decorated, very neat and clean. House keeping was very fast and food was also served very hot and fresh. Complimentary food were simply awesome. Hotel staff was very courteous and I had a wonderful stay here and will definitely advice others to stay.

We stayed in the hotel for a night. We were actually looking for a quite yet elegant place to spend some family time. The hotel is suited for such travellers who would like some private time away from main city and noise. Overall the hotel looks way too smaller than what is shown in pictures. Rooms are good in size but bathrooms are too tiny. Beds are nice and comfortable. We had some issues with housekeeping, we had a small kid with us and we contacted housekeeping quite frequently but they always came late, sometimes had to call twice. Also, in our two rooms, we did not have enough sachets for tea/coffee/sugar near the tea maker. Barring these minor issues, the place offers peace and serenity. Food is ok, slightly over priced for the portion size served. Breakfast offered a decent spread. Pool size is smaller. Everything about this hotel is smaller than how it looks in the pictures. I would recommend this hotel to travellers who want to spend family time rather than a group of enthusiastic friends who are probably looking for a place full of activities. Front office handling was ok. Nothing specific to comment on. The staff helped us with places to look around and directions. One more thing, please put more sign boards for your property at the main turnings. In midst of so many hotels, it becomes difficult to locate Sahil Sarovar.

"I didn't want to cut it," Trace Adkins said of "I'm Tryin'," the introspective lead single from his forthcoming album, Chrome. "And the label didn't want me to cut it." Monday (July 9), to mark the single's release that day, Adkins held a
One subject the artist didn't touch on, however, was his arrest in Nolensville, Tenn., last week for drunk driving. He will respond officially to that charge July 23 in a Williamson County court. Before the press conference began, Adkins' publicist warned reporters that both his manager and his lawyer had advised him not to talk about the arrest. Consequently, no one asked.
Adkins explained that Dann Huff, the new album's co-producer, had brought him "I'm Tryin'" for consideration. "I listened to it and didn't really hear myself doing it," he continued. "So we get into the studio one day, and we're trying to cut something the label [approved], but it wasn't working out. We ran through it about three times with the band and never turned the red [recording] light on. [Huff] said, 'This isn't working for me, and it's not working for you. � Let's cut the "I'm Tryin'" song.' I said, 'Man, the label doesn't want me to cut that.' He said, 'I'll take the heat.' � It was a good lesson for me: You've got to trust those guys. They know what they're doing."
Once Capitol president Mike Dungan heard the song, Adkins said, it became his favorite from the album. Chrome, which Trey Bruce also co-produced, is scheduled to be released on Oct. 23. It is Adkins' fourth album for Capitol and, he said, "the most diverse project" he has ever done.
Adkins' credited Huff with bringing things out in him musically that no one else has done. "He did simply because of the different kind of music he brought to the table. When we started out to do this project, I knew I was going to work with Trey Bruce on probably the bulk of it. But we had listed some other brilliant producers and kind of put the word out that, 'Hey, if you think you've got a song that would be good for me, bring it to us and let us hear it. If we dig it, we'll cut it.' So the first thing Dann came with was 'Chrome.' We knew then we wanted to cut that. But then he just kept coming back with songs. So we ended up doing five with him."
The plain-spoken Louisianian said he had been losing money on the road, which was one factor in his taking six months off from performing to record Chrome. "I'd been pretty much constantly touring since '96," he said, "and I thought it was just kind of time for me to step back for a little while, spend some time at home and really see what it was like again doing an album and it being my sole focus. That's the way I made my first album." He resumed touring in June and said he will remain "pretty busy" until September, at which time he will turn his attention to promoting the album.
When a reporter referred to Adkins' "success" as a recording artist, he quickly dismissed the characterization. "Thank you for having that perception that I've had all this success," he said with a grimace. "I appreciate that."
He did agree, though, that he had accumulated enough clout to shape his third album, More, which came out in November 1999. "I had gotten to the point where I exercised pretty much complete creative control over what I did. I did exactly what I wanted to do, cut what I wanted to cut, and it sold the least copies of anything I've done [209,000 copies according to SoundScan]. So on this one, I said, 'Help me.' Every song that's on this album was agreed on [in advance] by everybody involved, except for 'I'm Tryin.' � I didn't try to flex any prima donna muscles on this deal."
By now, Adkins has road-tested "I'm Tryin'," and he said he's satisfied with the results. "My daddy told me, 'I didn't really like the song that much the first time I heard it. But now that I've heard it two or three times, the message comes through a little better.' I think that's the kind of song this is. When we do it on the road, the people who sit there and really zero in on the lyric, they get it -- and we get that good response from them. But for the other ones that are there just to see me dance for Granny, they don't really respond that well to it. It's not one of those get-up-there-and-wiggle songs."
At the end of July, Adkins will shoot the music video for "I'm Tryin'," a chore he's approaching with his customarily wry sense of humor. "We picked a treatment that [video director] Steven Goldmann submitted. I read the treatment, and when I got to the end of it, I was totally confused. I had no idea what it was about. So I called up the label and said, 'This is the one.' � I remember when he got [the CMA] video of the year [award] on 'This Kiss,' where he had Faith [Hill] swinging in the air on a daisy. Somebody at some point had to have gone, 'What the hell!' I just thought, we're going to let Steven get his creative juices flowing full-rate and let him run with it and see where we go."
Adkins was signed to Capitol by then-president Scott Hendricks, who was soon ousted by Pat Quigley, who, in turn, was displaced by Mike Dungan. The singer seemed resigned to all this turmoil at the top. "I wouldn't say it has redirected what I've done at all," he mused. "But, you know, it's sort of slowed things down. There's just some unavoidable stuff that happens whenever the executive groups change over. It's going to happen. But we've dealt with it. We just keep plugging along. But now things are great."

Excellent, Low price, Hi-Res IPS Monitor
Pros: Low price, great response time, very bright, great color, did I mention cheap :)
Cons: Somewhat heavy, odd OSD controls, thick bezal.
At half the price of the similar Dell ultra sharp you can't go wrong, its response time is lower, its dynamic contrast ratio is significantly higher.
the newest ultra sharp is nearly 900 bucks, but is capable of 1.07 Billion colors as opposed to this and the previous ultra sharp that is 16.7 million colors, BUT the previous ultra sharp seems dull compared to this, the Auria's viewing angle (being an IPS) is better than the ultra sharp, and looks the same to me in store with the same background (hi res hi color) as the newest ultra sharp, the difference being if you are professionally digital printing, etc. but even then this monitor should be just fine, and its over half off the dell price.
I recommend this for sure.

No-Fail Easy Cake Mix Brownies
Recipe by Kittencalrecipezazz
These are similar to a packaged brownie mix, they have a great brownie texture and take only minutes to make, just dump everything in a bowl, mix and bake! If desired frost with my Kittencal's Chocolate Frosting/Icing
Top Review by Chef shapeweaver
I've been in a " Brownie Craving Mode " lately and I came across this recipe and decided to try it. Since I didn't have any walnuts or chocolate chips, the same amount of peanut butter/chocolate blend chips were used Other than that change, the recipe was followed as it was written.After pouring it into the prepared dish, I realized that I didn't have the required patience it took to spread this out.:) So I sprayed a plastic spatula with a bit of cooking spray, spread the batter around that way.After the intital baking time, I did have to bake the recipe a bit longer than stated.( I think my oven isn't working right, but as long as it worked out it's o.k..) Now, on to the best part, the tasting :) All I can say is, " OMGoodness !!!! The one that I had was so good, I had to have another one right away. Thanks for posting this recipe which will be made again and again. " Keep Smiling :) "

Not fast enough. Except no one catches him in the open field.
Not tough enough. Except for the 27 rushing touchdowns, which tied an NFL record.
Not elusive enough. Not explosive enough. Not. Not. Not.
Which leave the league-leading total of 1,880 rushing yards, the 28 total touchdowns that set an NFL single-season record, the 89 rushing touchdowns in 96 games that have him in arrears of only 11 players as inexplicable as the stone heads of Easter Island.
'"'I like being the guy that people can't put their finger on," Alexander, 28, says.
Alexander and the Seahawks (13-3) racked up the best record in the NFC this season and earned a first-round playoff bye and home-field advantage throughout. They are hosts Saturday to the defensive-minded Washington Redskins as they seek their first playoff victory since 1984.
They got here riding Alexander. And that's how they'll go forward.
'"'Their running back can hurt you in any way," says Washington coach Joe Gibbs. '"'He can hurt you by catching the ball out of the backfield. He is extremely dangerous in terms of breaking one." One or more.
Alexander carried 370 times this season and averaged 5.1 yards, leading the Seahawks to their best record. He had a touchdown run of 88 yards, second longest in the league, and topped all rushers with 54 carries of 10 yards or more. He has managed a run of 10 yards or more in 55 consecutive games, the NFL's longest active streak.
'"'The numbers," Seahawks running backs coach Stump Mitchell says, '"'are staggering"
Yes, but. Try to name the memorable run. The Bo Jackson burst around the end. The Tony Dorsett wiggle-and-go up the middle. The Jim Brown knockout. Can't do it.
'"'I've blocked for dang near every yard he's gotten, and I don't know what his style is. It's deceptive," Seahawks center Robbie Tobeck says. '"'It looks sometimes like when he's in the open field that he's not running and you're like, "Run faster.' But no one's catching him."
How did Alexander become the sum of things he isn't? How can he touch a football and leave no fingerprints? '"'Join the club. ... None of us know. I don't think the coaches know," quarterback Matt Hasselbeck says. '"'It's a mystery."
Rack up the film. Watch Alexander, but without his number. How, he is asked, would he be identified?
'"'Did you watch the whole game? The touchdowns," he says with a laugh. But touchdowns are the end, not the means. What happened to the beautiful process, where the journey is half the fun?
A couple of years back, during training camp, Alexander took a handoff and ducked behind his offensive line. He seemed to disappear, then materialize downfield. One of the marveling defensive backs nicknamed him '"'Ghost."
Appropriate. He does all this damage to opponents, scores one touchdown after the next, but leaves no trail, only wreckage.
'"'You may not consider him a power runner, but in those situations he is all that he has to be and all that we need him to be," Mitchell says. '"'You may not consider him a speed burner, but he's one of two or three guys who, in their NFL career, have an 88-yard run. You may say he is not a certain thing, but the numbers say he is."
Nose for the goal line
Including his 11 touchdowns on receptions, Alexander has 100 in his six-year career and got to triple digits faster than anyone but Emmitt Smith. There are times when, in trying to conserve his strength and body, he might not fight for the last inch, but he refuses to be turned away when the Seahawks approach the end zone.
'"'That's my favorite part of the game, honestly," he says.
Down there? Where it is, in Hasselbeck's words, '"'a fistfight in a phone booth?" There?
'"'I'm always harping on everybody, like, "Let's not kick field goals, let's not get used to that,' " Alexander says. '"'You score touchdowns, you're going to win the games. That's what it is for me."
It doesn't happen by accident. In front of him stands a veteran line anchored on the left side by tackle Walter Jones, a six-time Pro Bowl pick, and guard Steve Hutchinson, three times a Honolulu tourist. Those two, Tobeck and guard Chris Gray have been together since 2001; right tackle Sean Locklear became a starter this year. There's also 12-year fullback Mack Strong, going to his third Pro Bowl.
'"'When you have a great line, you're supposed to do great things," Alexander says. '"'Life is more fun when you've got partners."
Of his 27 rushing touchdowns, 24 came from inside the 20, 20 from inside the 10 and 18 from inside the 5. '"'The scary thing about Shaun scoring all these touchdowns is that everybody on the planet knows he's going to get the ball. Yet he still finds a way to get into the end zone," Strong says.
Alexander loves telling the story of his pee-wee football days in Kentucky. He returned two kickoffs for touchdowns in a game his team lost, then asked his older brother, Durran, which position would permit him to score the most. He became a tailback that day, and it is his unshakable belief that he can, must and will reach the end zone as often as possible.
'"'If the line blocks and I score touchdowns, then we're going to win. Now, what gives us the most chances to win? Well, the more I score," he says. '"'The heart of it is winning, but if I score some more, we're going to be able to win some more."
So it seems like he needs a larger helmet, right? This is an ego in need of a cold compress to reduce the swelling, no? No. Look at the numbers. When he scores two rushing touchdowns a game, the Seahawks are 17-1. Three or more? They're 6-0.
Still, there's an art to goal-line running. In that highly contested parcel of the field, greats such as Barry Sanders were not part of the package. Alexander lives, trains and studies for it.
'"'When you get in the red zone, he doesn't see anything but the goal line," says Jones, the 315-pound left tackle. '"'He knows where everybody is, where the unblocked guy is."
And he's ready to score at any time.
'"'Shaun has great vision and the ability to react and make quick and decisive cuts and to run with good pad leverage," says Mitchell, who rushed for 4,649 yards in a nine-year pro career. '"'He has a knack of being twice as powerful in the red zone as he is in the open field."
And just as opportunistic.
'"'When he gets in the red zone, his hips are always pointing toward the goal line. He can be moving sideways and making people miss, but you watch him and he's always able to accelerate quickly to the goal line," Strong says. '"'That's an amazing athletic quality he has."
Becoming a team player
Given his stardom at Alabama, his status as a first-round pick and his unique focus on touchdowns, Alexander's early years with the Seahawks were sometimes a struggle for perspective.
Even last year, when he finished a yard short of tying Curtis Martin of the New York Jets for the NFL title, he said (in jest, he insists) he was '"'stabbed in the back" by coach Mike Holmgren, who called a quarterback sneak at the goal line instead of feeding Alexander the football.
'"'I see him taking the next step and "I, I' gets pushed by "We, we.' He has matured as a person," Holmgren says.
'"'I think in his college career there was so much adulation and stuff. Then you come into this league and you might get coached harder or the language might be bad. And up here it's kind of rough sometimes and so it's a learning thing. And I see him maturing. He's a married man, he has kids and I think there is a correlation between all of that and his great year."
Alexander and his wife, Valerie, married since 2002, are the parents of Heaven, 2, and Tiffany, 5 months. Heaven was born on a game day in 2003, with Alexander assisting at his wife's side in the hospital. He then hurried to Qwest Field in time for the second quarter and rushed for 58 yards in a 24-23 victory against the St. Louis Rams. It is the only start he has missed in the past four seasons.
But more than family moves him.
'"'It's strictly my faith. My belief in Jesus Christ is really simple. Every day I wake up and try to honor him and try to get closer to him, and after that, everything falls back into place," Alexander says.
'"'How do you honor the Lord with football? Well, it's just doing the best you can. How do you honor the Lord with your family? Well, you try to be the best husband and father you can. Usually, people that have tempers and that are arrogant are thinking about themselves. So I try not to think about myself."
The Seahawks are family, too. So Alexander's pursuits, which bring so many accolades, must be cast as group efforts.
'"'How can you really be happy if you're only going after your own selfish motives? That would be miserable for me," he says. '"'It's OK to be the best and think like you're going to be the best. It's not arrogant to say we're going to be the best and I'm going to do everything I have to to get everyone there. It's arrogant and it's all out of whack when it's only about what you do whether you win or lose."
Alexander treated the rushing title as a team achievement, not a one-man show, and most recently rewarded his linemen with portable DVD players. He's cooking up another gift to show his thanks, and they've shown theirs. Now that they're in the playoffs, the Seahawks elected another team captain to go with Hasselbeck (offense), end Grant Wistrom (defense) and the weekly special teams' designee.
It's Alexander.
'"'That's from his teammates," Holmgren says. '"'And he didn't get elected because he gained 1,880 yards."
But for all the things he is.

Two cars defined the newfound freedom of the 1950s: the Chevrolet Corvette and the Ford Thunderbird. Eventually, Chevrolet took their Corvette to the race track while Ford continued to turn their Thunderbird into the ultimate boulevard car. Now, here we are sixty years later with Corvettes that are regarded as some of the best curve carvers in the world and Thunderbirds, like this 12,654 mile stunner, which are still turning heads on every Main Street in America. If you were looking at a brand new Thunderbird in 1955, but couldn't swing it; and looked again in 2002 but the timing just wasn't right, 2012 is your year! That's right; we have a pristine 2005 50th Anniversary Thunderbird that's so nice it could've rolled right out of the showroom yesterday. Christened by the factory as number 96 of only 1500 50th Anniversary Thunderbirds produced, it's decked in exclusive Cashmere paint and an exclusive tri-tone leather interior. If you've always wanted to cruise the streets in style AND enjoy a level of luxury and dependability that can only be found in a showroom fresh modern car, this slick Thunderbird is exactly what you've been looking for!
The Thunderbird came to life in 1954 as a sensational 1955 production car which fired imaginations and became an instant classic. In 1999, Ford decided it would honor the original car by building a new model that would turn just as many heads; and this generation, affectionately dubbed the 'retrobird', was rolling down the production line within two years. To be honest, it's pretty difficult to describe a car like this pristine T-bird. You kinda just want to say "imagine what it would be like to find one that hasn't been driven" because that's how nice the car really is. It was obviously pampered and exceptionally well cared for as its 50th Anniversary exclusive Cashmere paint looks just as good as it did when the car rolled out of a Ford showroom. And from its excellent shine to its dent and chip-free composite panels it's probably one of the nicest 2005 Thunderbirds on the planet.
The J Mays' designed body looks fantastic from any angle and is probably one of the most enduring 'retro' designs ever created. At the front of the car, a 50th Anniversary exclusive body-matched grille hangs bright and clear driving lights below a teal inlayed Thunderbird emblem and clear combination headlights and turn signals. Behind those headlights, a composite hood centers a traditional, recessed Thunderbird scoop in front of a chip-free factory windshield which is trimmed in stylish, showroom fresh chrome. At the top of that chrome trim, a Cashmere hardtop with traditional Thunderbird porthole windows latches down over a Medium Light Stone cloth convertible top to perfectly mimic Fords original 1955 dual roof system. At the sides of the car, chrome 50th Anniversary emblems sit inside of re-imagined fender lines which lead the eye past body matched mirrors to rear mounted "Thunderbird" scripts. And at the back of the car, a contoured center high mount stop lamp sits above a second teal inlayed emblem, clear combination tail lights, a composite rear bumper with a chrome trimmed tag recess and great looking stainless exhaust tips.
When Ford introduced the eleventh generation Thunderbird, it incarnated a car that is faithful to the original concept in every way. Power for this 2005 'bird comes from a 3.9 liter 32 valve DOHC V8 which was developed by former Ford subsidiary Jaguar and code named the AJ35. The Ford specific AJ35, which was manufactured here in America, utilizes a two-state variable valve timing system, fracture-split forged powder metal connecting rods, a special one-piece cast camshaft and reinforced plastic intake manifold to create 280 horsepower and 286 lb./ft. of torque. Envisioned more as a comfortable cruiser than a flat-out sports car, the eleventh generation Thunderbird never pretended to be a Corvette or Porsche competitor. That said; 0-60 still comes in at a very respectable seven seconds flat, and the cars silky smooth engine delivers enough grunt to provide fun and responsive driving characteristics. Aesthetically, the entire engine is hidden under an attractive plastic shroud which trades a teal inlayed Thunderbird logo and a chrome "V8" emblem for a traditional view of working bits. However, you can still plainly see how well maintained everything is, from the cars sparkling clean inner fenders, to its non-yellowed master cylinder. Turn the key and the engine lights off instantly, humming with restrained power and a barely audible whisper from the tailpipes.
In the late 90s and early 00s Ford developed one global rear wheel drive platform, codenamed DEW, which was to underpin everything from select Jaguars to the fifth generation Mustang. Those competent roots supply this awesome Thunderbird with a sophisticated independent front and rear Macpherson strut suspension which mixes aluminum control arms with a host of other weight saving techniques to create a smooth ride and composed road manners. The result is a design which possesses a relaxed sportiness and features an excellent combination of comfort and handling prowess. Behind the engine, a 5-speed automatic transmission sends power to a fresh 8 inch Ford rear end with sporty 3.58 gears. And at the corners of the car, four wheel disc brakes, which are aided by a standard antilock system and standard traction control, ride behind high class 17 inch machine finished wheels which spin body-matched Thunderbird center caps inside of 235/50 Michelin Pilot radials. Throw your favorite road at this T-bird, and it'll chew it up just fine while returning you home refreshed and ready for your next adventure.
Ford began the 21st century by producing some of the more impressive and detail oriented interior designs to ever hit the market, and the 50th Anniversary exclusive tri-tone cockpit in this pristine Thunderbird is one of their best designs. The driver and passenger are treated with heated, full-power Cashmere leather seats which have been color-matched to the exterior paint and feature embossed 50th Anniversary headrest logos. Below the seats, day-one fresh carpet is protected by thick floor mats and bordered by cool Thunderbird branded sill plates. And at the sides of the seats, winged black, white and Cashmere door panels hold great looking metal trim above controls for both the power windows and power door locks. At the front of the car, a highly detailed dash props Turquoise tipped needles in front of satin finished and chrome trimmed gauges; and a 6 disc in-dash CD changer rides next to attractive metal trim and a glove box mounted commemorative plaque. Below the dash, a great looking console holds a dual zone climate control system and a Cashmere topped shift knob in front of a leather stitched console and a sculpted waterfall back panel. In front of the driver a Cashmere topped Thunderbird steering wheel holds a pristine teal inlayed emblem; and behind the cockpit a fully finished trunk features enough room for a spare tire and luggage for a weekend getaway.
Included with this sale is the cars original owner's manual, a high quality car cover and factory hardtop holder and car.
If there was one phrase to describe this 2005 50th Anniversary Thunderbird, it would be 'luxury sport'. I know it sounds a little cliché, but it's true. Like their predecessors, these cars have built a legacy of cruising, seeing and being seen, showing up in style and looking fantastic. Just imagine sitting down in the comfy leather seat, firing up the throaty V8 engine, cranking up the stereo as loud as you like and chasing the sun down your favorite two lane road. It doesn't get much better than that!
