Simple, peaceful, good food and wine. Ideal stop for one night to break the long car journey across Spain.
very quiet,close to the motorway,easy to find the breakfast was week, no restaurant in the village, no bar
No food after schedule times.
Very pleasant staff member, lovely buildings, well appointed rooms, large and airy and good reception rooms No - it was a pity they were not cooking on Sunday evening but not an issue for us.
Nice small hotel in a village. It was a good stop on our trip back home. Dinner started too late: 10 pm
The building and internal decor is very good. No bar.
Great lounge area which (we were the only quests) we were able to relax with friends in, good not to be stuck in your rooms. Lovely dining area for breakfast. Very difficult to find. It was all locked up when we arrived and until someone arrived 20 minutes after we had, we thought we were lost. Not set in the grapevines like advertised, next to an empty field.
Peace and quiet, pleasant surroundings. No priced menu. Asked for dinner, had to accept tortilla batata with salad, yogurt for sweet, coffee, bread and wine. Wine very expensive 12€ made on site. Total cost of meal for two 39.76€. We thought this excessive for such a basic meal.
A very pleasant and calm location, the staff and the conditions were perfect. There is space for improvement regarding breakfast, the "fried" bread needs to be replaced for real bread.
Low season so had place to myself. Comfortable sitting room upstairs. Located close to motorway. Nearest restaurant 5km away.
The hotel was modern and comfortable and the staff were very helpful. This isn't the hotel's fault but we had difficulties finding the hotel and getting to it. Signposts for the hotel were not always clearly visible and then when we saw one, we found ourselves in the wrong lane in dense traffic and had to drive past our turnoff. We went round in a few circles before we actually managed to get to the hotel. However, once we found it, we had no further problems!
The staff was always friendly and helpful. They gave great recommendations for area activities and restaurants. Our room was nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay there again.
Staff was really nice, rooms were confortable. restaurant also good. This is not a negative but it's a pitty that in summer witha temperature of 32 degrees aoutside at 20h the swimming pool closes and the inner pool that is not in the hotel but outside was also closed in the weekend.
Location, ease of parking, price, cleanliness, children friendly... all positive
This is a great hotel. Very welcoming, english speaking reception staff. A great bar and restaurant although breakfast is too expensive. Rooms spacious but hot! A short walk to local shops and cafe's. A short taxi ride to Plaza Mayor. We have stayed here a few times recently and always had a good time. Price of breakfast. Mini bar prices.
The comfort of the hotel, the pool because it was so hot and the staff were extremely friendly
fantastic spacious rooms, nice pools not very easy to find and a little too far from the centre
Staff & facilities
Very nice staff, always ready to help.
as we were on our way back to Santander it was very convenient to Autoroute. It could have been anywhere as was typical Novotel, but good for all that. restaurant was overpriced, especially for breakfast
Wonderful beautiful hotel. The room was clean and spacious. I really enjoyed all the furnitures in the bathroom (toothbrush, shampoo, soap, ..., ...). The personnal at the reception could have been more friendly.
I liked most the location, close enough to the historic city centre but on a quite place (10-15 min walk) . I liked the price for a 4 star hotel: quality and very clean.
Great Location No
Great price, lovely rooms and great location. We could not all have non-smoking rooms even though we asked for 6 non-smoking rooms at the booking.
Cleanliness Car parking was not free
Rooms are not so so big but they are nice.I liked very much the breakfast, i liked more that we could have it untill 10:30.It was good for us that we didn t have to wake up early. I would like to have better price because we stayed there 10days.And i would like to have more amenities with that money that we payed.
The location and design of the hotel
Great value for the money, very nice hotel.
The staff was very professional. Room service was excellent.There were rooms for smokers, that was of great importance for us as we smoke. The parking was comfortable and clean. The hotel is located right opposite to El Corte Ingles and in a short distance from the historical center of the city. .
The room was very comfortable with efficient air conditioning. Public spaces were very pleasant. Easy access by local bus to city centre. No free internet access on a hotel computer. Quite far from the city centre and the area in front of the hotel was unattractive, containing scrub grass.
The room was modern and clean. The use of the jacuzzi and sauna was advertised as free. When we visited there was a EUR 6 charge per person and there was no water in the jazuzzi! The room and bathroom were small.
Nh Bálago is a hotel with very high standard and comfort. The walk to the historic city center takes around 10 minutes. We did not want to pay a fee for parking at the hotel and found a parking spot close by. There are plenty of them for free and there is no need to worry because the neighborhood seems to be very safe. The value for money is incredible. We paid eur 68 for a double room in this great four-star hotel.
comfort, design
The location The reception don't speak Portuguese
NH hotels are always good ones. High level stay. none
The Hotel is situated outside the city.
secure underground parking.
The hotel is modern and clean. bathroom was very good and the beds very comfortable. The room as usual in Spanish city hotels was a bit small. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. The heating/cooling system was difficult to control. The access by car was difficult; although the hotel is on Plaza Espana its entrance is in the alley behind and it isn't obvious how to drive to the garage. The access to the garage is by elevator and requires some skill!
very good hotel
The hotel is freshly renovated in a very contemporary way. It is well managed, clean and comfortable. I particularly enjoyed a huge bathtub separated from rest of the room with a glass wall. Very cool! I was moved from a room to another without much explanation.
new windows opening system
The very large and comfortable bed, the very friendly and helpful staff, the convenient parking, the good value, the central and convenient location. The only think I did not like is the glass-walled bathroom. Even the toilet was visible from parts of the room. This could be a deal-breaker for some people. Performing one's ablutions in full view of someone else is not everyone's cup of tea. Even so, I'd still recommend this hotel because it redeems itself in every other way.
Everything is just perfect : design, clearness, comfort. I really recommend a stay in this hotel. Spa is open only week-end, pool is too cold in the morning because sun comes in 2nd part of the day
excellent buffet breakfast 1) Spa facilities not included in price, extra 22 euros to pay 2) not possible to go by foot to the city centre
Very nice rooms, great breakfast, free wifi Price on the high side vs. value, location on busy road, pool looked much more impressive than it was in reality
The pool & facilities are very good. Staff friendly & helpfull. Location also good. Good hotel at a good price.
Presented these hotel with spa and etc. on your internet site, but when we arrive the hotel staff told me only weekend can be used also extras payment :(((
The location in the commercial district is good for shopping but a little far away from musea etc., but acceptable. Too dark interior. Cleaning. Water in bathroom. Shower door was damaged already for a long time, but never repaired, even not day 2 after asking.
Very clean. Confortable. Nice food. Nice design.
Beautiful Hotel, great location and very friendly staff.
Really nice hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Very well located.
Location and cleanliness I got stuck in the exit of the garage without any way to communicate with the front desk.
This hotel ticked all the boxes which is rare, since we are very fussy! Could not fault it. Excellent value for money.
The receptionist and several waiters spoke English. Good American Style breakfast: enough to last almost all day. Excellent central location, and close to Campo Grande (large park). Great bathroom. No "didn't likes".
All the staff were very polite and friendly, the hotel decoration was very well done, our room on the 5th floor was quite large, well equipped and very stylish. We had the continental breakfast for less than 6 euros, with waiter & waitress service, a bowl of fruit, bread, ham & cheese, orange juice, coffee or tea "excellent". One of the best all round best hotels we have stayed at in Spain Driving the car into the lift for the under ground parking a minor thing
Excellent quiet hotel, very modern and sophisticated in a good location. Great continental breakfast and parking available within hotel. Rooms are spacious and well equiped. The evening meal room service was very poor, cold food, no condiments or sauces which caused a complaint to be made.
Excellent reception good English and splenid girl doing breakfasts who also spoke excellent English. Comfortable room and interesting underground carpark accessed by a lift.They arranged a fourth night very effeceintly. Breakfasts were good served and a reasonable deal at 6-7 Euros. We did not find an English TV Channel for news and struggled to get weather forcast important as it was very changeable. More relaxed seating in bar would have encouraged us to use it more may be they have a terrace in good weather?
New and very nice hotel, with an excellent location in centre and very good facilities and super friendly staff who speak amazingly good english for spanish understandings. We came with a 9 person bus wich did not fit in the underground garage, so they immediatly offered us the director's parking place. Design interior is very nice , super clean. Big rooms with raindance showers, feels like a tropical rain shower. The children had a great time although the hotel has no play facilities for them, but the staff did all kinds off extra' s for them. Breakfast is very compleet (only 7€ for extra guests) Good value for money.There is no gymfacilities. The big park is only 200 m away and there are big childrens' climb and play facilties and the most important: the two best restaurants of Valladolid Aquarium and Sabores.
Good central location with secure parking. Comfort and professional service.
We liked very much the location (so close in Plaza mayor and all the nice restaurants) and the friendly welcome by the hotel owner, Roberto, who explained to us everything about the sights and the restaurants of the town. I am so sad that we did not visit the paella restaurant that Roberto suggested, but we'll definitely do that the next time! Hotel was nice and clean and I especially liked the atmosphere of city at night (many people at the streets, bars and restaurants until late at night). Not all hotel personnel can speak English well, but this is not a big deal: we got used to this at Valladolid and I it's good that I started practicing my spanish! Satellite TV was almost impossible to watch almost each of the 4 days that we stayed: signal had periodic interruptions.
room interrior, cleaness, location the receptionist Ramiro - he was ignorant and not friendly at all
The hotel has a very good location in central Vallidolid. The hotel and the rooms are very comfortable and well decorated. The manager is particularly friendly and helpful.
Excellent hotel, central location, friendly staff, nice breakfast
Relation price/location is great, hotel a few steps away from Plaza Mayor. It's only downside is if you travel by car. It's hard to park the car in the hotel surroundings, and leaving the car in one of the city parks can cost you more that you night at this hotel. (!!!)
Great location, near main square. Friendly staff. Food good and reasonably priced.
Location in the town center
Price & location
Well located, well-run, comfortable; an excellent choice. We asked for a quiet room and got one looking onto a light well, which meant that the room was rather dark and had no view. However it was certainly quiet and was very spacious. A lively atmosphere, and well used by local residents. We had a good meal in the hotel restaurant
The location was amazing. Right beside the main square. The manager was also very friendly and helpful.
overnight stop for the ferry at Santander
the hotel staff were really friendly and helpful. It was comfortable and relaxing
La sutuación e instalaciones en general La cena. Se debería mejorar la calidad de la comida
Cleanliness and outstanding facility
I arrived on Sunday to stay the night, however, there were no facilities whatsoever to have a meal or even a snack. This I find totally unacceptable for a 4* rated hotel. The information card in the room indicated that snacks were available 7 days a week. The breakfast was excellent. I would not recommend staying at this hotel on a Sunday.
Reasonable location within a short walk of the centre. Clean and spacious room with armchairs and good layout in the bathroom. Only one pillow, more would have been more comfortable. To have had a seating are outside would have been nice i.e. a balcony or terrace as the hotel was quite dark inside.
Style, decor. Wireless coverage, late timing of meals
difficult underground parking via a small lift. Restaurant average
Hotel is nice. Clean and comfortable, and it is quite new. Room with a lot of facilities Room was a little small, but it was OK for one night
Everything was good. Staff, room, service, breakfast, great car lift. We will stay here again. Directions to car park entrance should say - pull up on pavement outside hotel, go to reception & they will open the garage door.
we spend one night, the room was very nice, the location excellent.
The room was very clean and modern. Location very good and reception staff very helpful and could speak english.
the hotel was very central, and the parking facilities were good. The rooms were small but very clean and functional
No tea or coffee making facilities in room
Modern and comfortable design
Great scenery, fantasticly renovated old building, very friendly staff and great service. The hotel made our weekend in Valladolid very special! It is located about 5 to 6 Km from the old Valladolid City Centre, so you need a taxi to get there. But it's location offers a great relaxing atmosphere.
The hotel was fine. My main concern was finding the hotel. I spent 1/2 hour to locate the hotel. Precise directions to the guests is a priority here.
delighted with the whole experience children running around at 11pm not so good
The hotel was very well done up. It looked like a fairly recent renavation and it looked great. We had a good late night meal, which was just what we needed. Their jamon was very good. Breakfast was also great, we should have had a hot plate, but we were very satisfied with the buffet. Valadolid is a bit of a building site at the moment. The access to the hotel from the main road was very confusing and wasn't signed very well. The road surface was very bad, I was driving a BMW Z4 which has a low clearence and it wasn't a very comfortable experience. I thought i might have to walk back later and collect my suspension.
No charge for minibar No outside pool
Relaxed atmosphere with good dining room and excellent room Currently poor access due to road works -help with best road approach would have mitigated this
Very nice indoor swimming pool. The hotel has great style and class.
The hotel is in a great location.
Quality and location of the hotel is excellent. The lack of choice for breakfast was disgraceful, fortunately they only then charged 5euros. Had they asked for any more, i would have made a complaint.
Excellent location, very comfortable room. Managers were very helpful providing maps and directions.
The very warm and helpful welcome
Good value No bar, restaurant or vehicle access. Grotty looking breakfast.
Its central but quiet location.... No... everything was fine....
Great hotel. Central in Valladolid (on foot to every highlight is possible). Nice staff, friendly atmosphere. Clean and neat rooms with minibar and flatscreen. No complaints
The elevator was very slow, sometimes one had to wait 10 minutes. Internet access was expensive for a 4-day stay.
Centrally located, well priced, availability of WI-FI No programme in Enlish, like News programme on the bedroom TV. Breakfast could be a little better organised, limited cereals, cold milk available only by request, no large spoons available for cereals, yes we were supplied with the appropriate spoons when requested.
Convenient location but not easy to find No double smoke free rooms Expensive breakfast - if you had one
I liked its location and its price by comparison to other hotels. The gym facility did not open until 9:00 a.m.
Friendly Staff N/A
In town centre so good for a walk around the town. Could do wth a bit of a face lift and very little English if any is spoken by staff.
Very close to the centre of Town and the bus/Train stations. Very clean room and good bar. The shower dipped out. The receptionist was very rude and the aircon didn't work.
Twin room supplied despite me asking specifically for a double room. No explanation forthcoming. Noise from Building site opposite hotel should have been mentioned.
Very efficient & friendly service at Reception on arrival 1. Music in the restaurant - not necessary. Or at least lower the volume and get away from the old-fashioned American muzak (after all, it is a hotel in Spain). 2. Decor and furnishings in the public rooms: totally uncoordinated; needs an interior design makeover.
The room was pleasent and comfortable. The location was good too. Very few of the hotel could speak English so communication was difficult. I was unable to order room service because of this. Vegetarian food is also very very limited! Also the wooden floors in the bedrooms and corridors were very noisy when people were walking around.
The location was superb & central to everything. There was nowhere to park the car locally and the cost of the hotel car park was 18 Euros per day
Very kind and comprehensive staff. I had to check out after time and they understood the situation. My best compliments for all of them. Limited (though understandably) parking places. I had to leave the car in the street.
Recently refurbished rooms, central location, free wifi in reception area.
Good value, great location & excellent breakfast.
Very central location. The bar, restaurant and parking are very expensive. You have to walk only a little ways to find more reasonably priced services.
Breakfast was excellent. Staff were very pleasant and helpful when possible. Location is excellent for a downtown excursion. The conceirge staff was clueless about tourist needs. They could usually not help with anything regarding sight seeing or times of local attractions. They did not have any suggestions for bus tours or even the slightest information. The tourism office is located many blocks away and they too are not very well versed in english, so were not particularly helpful.
The access to the health club should be made easier. It does not make sense in my opinion to have to ask for an extra key to use the facility. I gave up using it for that reason. See above
The location is very central and within walking distance of all the best sites of Valladolid. Rooms sited over Plaza San Miguel whic can be rather noisy over the weekend.
Fresh orange juice for breakfast, warm rooms, central position The bacon at breakfast was almost raw on some mornings, the consierge and porter staff seemed to spend too much time behind the desk looking at the computer rather than looking after the guests. The advertised bar 9:00 to 24:00 closed at 22:30 when we where in it
Staff excellent and hotel very clean & modern- restaurant service impeccable Rooms facung the main road can suffer from the road noise
Convenient for motorway and very comfortable
2Nd Stay Brilliant location for access to A62 Motorway and staff very helpfull. As per our first stay, we thought the hotel quite noisy. There was an exhibition on the night we stayed but even after that finished there was considerable noise both from the exterior and transmitted noise from the floor above.
I had left a rather valuable book in my room after leaving belonging to my city public library in Belgium.I asked the reception afterwards to send it to my home against of course my payment.They could have easily sent one of their staff to a post office to mail it back to me.They didnt and made me look for an independent forwarding myself who would charge me 70 €.If they had sent the parcel themselves it would barely amount to 5 €.I think their attitude is not worthy of the service we can expect of a hotel with standing in a country which needs so much income from foreign visitors.Could You look into this and,Please,let me know what can be done;if You can before the end of this week.Thank You.Baron Dehennin
1st Class hotel,staff very helpful, food very good, ideal stopover if travelling through Spain close to motorway.
Staff very pleasant. Room well appointed. Food in Restaurant excellent but 8.30 pm late for the English to eat. Bar area good. Snacks available all day. A little difficult to find. Had to drive all through the town.
Good location, clean room. Room too small.
Excellent staff, friendly and warm Nothing a first class hotel
It is a very comfortable, clean Hotel with excellent service at reception, secure parking and bar food / breakfast very good.
Good internet connection.
Very convenient location enroute Northern Spain to the South and Portugal. Excellent restaurant. Regular guests for past few years.
kind staffs and resonable price the way to the hotel from the highway is not easy to find in the night.
We used the hotel going to Portugal and on the way back, It was nice to have such an upmarket hotel so close to the motor way. Smoking room, room service.
we did not like being rushed during our meal, (asking us about puddings ) while we are still eating our main meal, no offer of coffee and nothing available after 11pm, drinks ect, this is not the first time we have used this hotel but i think it will be the last.
Pleasant staff
Position was good as we were travelling, Hotel was clean and comfortable, food in the bar was good and reasonable priced. Above comment on hotel staff only referred to the bar steward who was rude and abrupt, treated us differently from the Spanish guests ( no nuts and olives with drinks). He did not try to be helpful or make us feel comfortable and welcolme. In contrast the receptionist was most pleasant and helpful.
large comfortable room and bathroom also the hotel furnishings ectetera gave us a feeling of grandure of the past
Covient to Motorway, Good quality Hotel Only persons in restaurent. Did not know that food could be served in bar
This hotel is a fabulous stop over travelling either North or South, because of its easy access to the motorway. The staff are wonderful and the food is excellent. We stayed with 2 dogs and were made very welcome. The rooms are spacious, airy and clean. The lounge and bar areas are tastefully decorated. Would definitely stay in the future. Great value!! The only complaint would be that the air conditioning didn't work very well. The room was very warm but we had the windows open so it was fine.
Instructions were good on location of site, the straff were friendly and helpful and the restaurant ok. My wife and I stayed here on our way home from a holiday in spain, I have to say that we were both disappointed with the beds and nether of us slept during our one night at the hotel, we founds the beds to be hard and uncomfortable.
Its centric location and friendly staff, as well as the cafeteria where they serve lovley breakfasts
Private parking, allows dogs, location, (we were onward to santander for the ferry the next day) palencia is within easy driving to santander There is no food available on sunday, no breakfast on monday, although the cafe is open that adjoins the hotel
The noise from traffic was disturbing.
Excellent situated, very near downtown
Good location near Plaza Mayor and town center. Nice room and bathroom with good central heating. Cafe/bar inside hotel premises (ground floor) and accessible from street. Helpful staff. Main line station and bus terminal 10 mins walk from hotel. Taxi rank 3 mins. Supermarket across the road. Wasn't a problem for us, but the lift is very small.
Good location. The hotel is basic but clean. Staff helpful. No mini bar in room.
The staff were helpful and pleasant The restaurant is open only on Thurs,Fri & Sat and breakfast is not available on a Monday morning. As we stayed on a Sunday night this caused unexpected problems as in the area there seemed to be no restaurants open on a Sunday evening.

Language: English
From the preface:
"This publication is an important output of the Biodiversity Hotspots Conservation Programme undertaken by WWF-India since 1992, with the support of the MacArthur Foundation in USA. The Western Ghats and the Eastern Himalaya are among the eighteen hotspots of biological diversity on earth identified by scientists.
One of the largest families of the flowering plants ot India are the Orchidaceae – about 1141 species in 166 genera, many of which are ndemic. Around 267 orchid species have been identified in the Western Ghats region alone. Taking this group as an indicator species, Dr. T. Ananda Rao of the Karnataka Association for the Advancement of Science at Bangalore has focussed his study on Tadiandamol in Kodagu district of Karnataka. He has taken great pains to record and describe with illustrations the orchid species from this area. Further, he has been instrumental in transplanting 78 species at a riverine island of the Cauvery river called Nisargadharna, also in Kodagu district, which has now developed into a veritable orchidarium.
Thus, the project has addressed the objectives of both ex-situ and in-situ conservation with respect to the orchids of Tadiandamol. Thirty-eight of these orchids have been found to be disjunctly distributed in South India and Sri Lanka. In effect, Tadiandamol area is a repository of important orchid species and valuable as far as their distribution in India goes. Dr. Rao has also identified 18 orchids as those having potential value for horticulture. Yet another significant outcome is the identification of two more hotspots – Bababudan hills (Chikmagalur District) and Dandeli Reserve Forest (Ultara Kannada District) – during the implementation of the study."

Amherst College
Women's Soccer
> Putnam Tabbed NESCAC Player of the Week
W-Soccer Earns ECAC Bid, Hosts Springfield in Wednesday Quarterfinal
October 30, 2000
AMHERST, Mass. - The Amherst College women's soccer team has a second life, after earning a berth in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Tournament, with quarterfinal action set for Wednesday afternoon. The Jeffs, who were knocked out of the NESCAC Tournament with their 1-0 loss in the first round to arch-rival Williams College, host Springfield College in a first round game at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon.
The Jeffs, who finished the regular season as the Little III Champions, and fourth in the NESCAC with a 9-4-1 record overall (5-3-1 in the 11-team league), earned the fifth seed in the eight-team ECAC draw, but will host fourth-seeded Springfield due to a conflict preventing the Pride from hosting the first round game. The Pride finished their 2000 regular season with a 12-3-2 record, before knocking off Babson College in the New England Men's and Women's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) quarterfinals, and falling to Wellesley College in the NEWMAC semis.
Amherst comes into Wednesday's ECAC quarterfinal led by junior midfielder Cathy Poor (Harwich Port, MA), who scored a school-record 11 goals during the regular season, despite being limited to 11 games due to a nagging foot injury. Three Jeffs have three goals apiece behind Poor, including rookie Jenny Rossman (Newton, MA), who also has a team-high eight assists, and juniors Hallison Putnam (Lexington, KY) and Laura Raybould (Denville, NJ). Sophomore Brooke Diamond (Longmeadow, MA) has anchored one of the league's best defenses in goal, posting a 0.74 goals-against average.
For Springfield, a pair of sophomores--Alison Passante (Vernon, NY) and Amanda Conk (Montclair, NJ)--lead the attack, combining for 24 goals and nine assists between them. Junior Kate Biancamano (Wethersfield, CT) has a team-best eight assists in support of the sophomore duo, and rookie Laura Harwood (Longmeadow, MA) is the other squad member in double figures for scoring, with four goals and three assists. Sophomore Emily Boosahda (Bass River, MA) started 17 of Springfield's 18 games in goal, posting eight shutouts and a goals-against average of 0.92.
The two teams have met only once before, with Springfield prevailing in a 7-0 final in 1981. This year, Springfield posted an 0-1-1 record against NESCAC teams, including a 2-1 loss to Williams and a 1-1 tie against Wesleyan, while the Jeffs turned in a 2-1 record against NEWMAC teams, including 4-0 wins over Mount Holyoke and Smith Colleges, and a 2-1 overtime loss to Clark University.
Other quarterfinals on Wednesday have not been set yet, depending on the outcome of today's Little East Conference final between Western Connecticut State University and Keene State College. The loser of the Little East championship game will be one of the top three seeds in the ECAC draw, along with Bates and Wellesley Colleges.
Game time for Wednesday's Amherst/Springfield quarterfinal is 1:00 p.m., on Amherst's Hitchcock Field. No admission will be charged.

The ordinance regulating dog kennels is slowly making progress to being approved, and it's been sent back to the tech committee for further revision. Previously, a committee consisting of many dog owners collaborated on making a revision to the proposed ordinance that would differentiate between commercial and non-commercial kennels, but none of the members of the Planning Commission had a list of the people on that committee.
A five-to-six-person committee will be formed to further revise the proposed ordinance, and Commissioner Dan Bridegroom said that he feels the use of the word "commercial," could cause problems down the line. He advised against using that language in the drafted ordinance.
The Board of Zoning Appeals has requested this ordinance because they feel a better defined ordinance would help with guidelines, and they been requesting an ordinance regulating these kennels for the last three years. Another catalyst for the creation of this ordinance is the fact that there are several houses with multiple dogs chained outside near the property of their neighbors, which causes problems, but there are no means to prevent this kind of behavior at this time.
In the end, the Planning Commission tabled the proposal. The tech committee assigned to drafting and revising this ordinance will meet on August 4th at 9:00 a.m., where it is expected they will confer with the Planning Commission and draft an ordinance that is not only acceptable to the public, but won't cause problems down the line with the state.

San Jose, California – (The Hosting News) – January 12, 2007 – Web host and national provider of integrated voice and data communications firm, Covad Communications Group, Inc., has been listed as the market leader among hosted VoIP providers for business.
Independent research group, In-Stat, recently released in a report, that Covad retained its top ranking as the market leader for the fourth consecutive year, despite increased competition from existing voice providers and new entrants targeting business customers.
David Lemelin, Senior Analyst at In-Stat, and the author of the report confirmed, "Covad has remained the hosted VoIP market leader by providing businesses with the right value proposition. Covad has adapted well to the changing dynamics of the business marketplace. The introduction of their Clear Edge Office product is designed to meet the needs of smaller businesses where we expect to see increasing adoption of hosted solutions. This gives Covad a complete portfolio of hosted VoIP services, designed to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes.â€Â
In-Stat predicts that the market for hosted VoIP services will continue to grow, with domestic revenues exceeding $2 billion by 2010. This represents an 80 percent compound annual growth rate over 2005. In his report, Mr. Lemelin recognizes Covad for its effective use of existing broadband distribution channels to market its voice solutions. He also identifies Covad's Voice Optimized Access, which enables voice traffic to be prioritized over data traffic, as a competitive differentiator.
Mr. Lemelin concludes that VoIP is now in an accelerated adoption stage as businesses are beginning to better understand the multiple IP voice alternatives available to them and accordingly seek out business-class solutions. Covad offers these small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) an alternative to more expensive or complex solutions that were designed for much larger businesses, as well as a long-term solution for outsourcing communications needs to a trusted partner.
Eric Weiss, Chief Marketing Officer at Covad remarked, "In-Stat's ranking confirms our commitment to providing small and medium-sized businesses with larger enterprise class features combined with the simplicity and low total cost of ownership they demand. By choosing a hosted voice solution from Covad, our customers eliminate the costly, time-consuming and complex management of their phone systems and can instead focus on what really matters – their business and customers. The business grade service and support has enabled Covad to provide these benefits to a variety of vertical industries, including areas such as real estate and retail, which In-Stat highlights as major hosted VoIP opportunities.â€Â
Covad offers a complete portfolio of business class voice solutions for single and multi-location SMBs including:
- Covad ClearEdge Pro – a fully hosted VoIP offering ideal for businesses of up to 250 employees that want the security and reliability of a feature-rich, managed solution
- Covad ClearEdge Office – a hosted VoIP solution built specifically for businesses with under 20 employees
- Covad ClearEdge Integrated Access – combines separate voice and data access services into a single solution over a dedicated, secure voice optimized broadband line, and is well-suited for customers who wish to maintain their investment in a premises phone system
A nationwide provider of integrated voice and data communications, Covad offers DSL, Voice Over IP, T1, web hosting, managed security, IP and dial-up, wireless broadband, and bundled voice and data services directly through Covad's network and through Internet Service Providers, value-added resellers, telecommunications carriers and affinity groups to small and medium-sized businesses and home users. According to the company, as the first company to commercially deploy DSL in the United States, Covad has spent hundreds of millions of dollars building a network that passes more than 57 million homes and businesses in 44 states – the largest nationwide footprint of any DSL company. Covad broadband services are currently available across the nation in 235 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) which represent over 50 percent of all US homes and businesses. Corporate headquarters is located at 110 Rio Robles, San Jose, California 95134. Telephone: 1-888-GO-COVAD.

Volkswagen Beetle Convertible to Bow in LA with Decade Inspired Special Editions
Volkswagen seems to have a history of launching cars with special editions right away. That's exactly what they're planning to do with the new Volkswagen Beetle Convertible, which will be bowing with three special editions, each inspired by the styling of a decade.
These special editions are called the '50s '60s and '70s models, and feature age appropriate details that coincide with the decade of the model.
You can expect to see different wheels and upholstery as well as special paint jobs. There's even a possibility of whitewall tires. The special editions are expected to make the trip to the U.S. so we can look forward to seeing these retro-looking Beetles on the road.
It's always interesting to see how modern cars interpret their history, so these special editions might truly be special. Volkswagen is looking to launch them alongside the convertible at the L.A. auto show in the fall.

About Adrian Bibby Walther
Personal Information
Adrian Bibby Walther posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingI have been trying to solve this for some time, but after googling and googling, again ang again. I finally decided to post it here. I use the following code to load a texture into OpenGL, using DevIL: [CODE] bool CImage::Load(const std::string &File){ Clear(); ILuint Image; ilGenImages(1,&Image); ilBindImage(Image); ilLoadImage(File.c_str()); if(ilGetInteger(IL_IMAGE_ORIGIN) == IL_ORIGIN_LOWER_LEFT) iluFlipImage(); Tex = ilutGLBindTexImage(); Width = ilGetInteger(IL_IMAGE_WIDTH); Height = ilGetInteger(IL_IMAGE_HEIGHT); int W,H; glGetTexLevelParameteriv(GL_TEXTURE_2D,0,GL_TEXTURE_WIDTH,&W); glGetTexLevelParameteriv(GL_TEXTURE_2D,0,GL_TEXTURE_HEIGHT,&H); ilDeleteImages(1,&Image); return Tex != 0; } [/CODE] My problem is that after the texture is loaded, it only has a size of 1*1 ie. one pixel, which it 512 times smaller than the actual image. The pixel is the same color as the top left pixel in the actual image, so I know that some of the data is loaded. If you want you can download the code here, and check it out: [attachment=10879:Engine.zip] PS: I don't know if this fits in this forum. It kind of has to do with OpenGL, and kind of doesn't.
Adrian Bibby Walther replied to Adrian Bibby Walther's topic in Graphics and GPU Programming[quote name='V-man' timestamp='1338384608' post='4944664'] Are you sure glGetError doesn't detect any problems? Also, what is your GL version? [/quote] This time, errors did appear. I traced (due to the lack of a better word) it back to the SDL OpenGL configuration: I apparently didn't enable SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLEBUFFERS. ~Solved
Adrian Bibby Walther replied to Adrian Bibby Walther's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingTurns out I only fixed the code for "power of 2"-textures. My graphics card does support GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two, and in my other project it worked absolutely fine.
Adrian Bibby Walther replied to Adrian Bibby Walther's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingAfter fiddling around with the code for a bit, it appears that I've solved the problem. I don't know what caused it though.
Adrian Bibby Walther replied to Adrian Bibby Walther's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingwglGetCurrentContext() doesn't return NULL. I don't know if there is more to check than that.
Adrian Bibby Walther replied to Adrian Bibby Walther's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHere you go: [CODE] Clear(); SDL_Surface *Surf = IMG_Load(File.c_str()); if(!Surf) return false; GLenum Mode = GL_RGB; if(Surf->format->BytesPerPixel == 4){ Mode = GL_RGBA; } Width = Surf->w; Height = Surf->h; glGenTextures(1,&Tex); glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,Tex); glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D,0,Mode,Width,Height,0,Mode,GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,Surf->pixels); glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR); glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR); int Min,Mag; glGetTexParameteriv(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,&Min); glGetTexParameteriv(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,&Mag); SDL_FreeSurface(Surf); glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,0); [/CODE]
Adrian Bibby Walther posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingI'm using SDL_image to load textures for my game, I then try to load them into OpenGL using glTexImage2D. Using the following code I've found out, that the problem lies in glTexImage2D, as it simply does nothing. (at least the width and height of the texture remains unchanged) [CODE] int ID,Width,Height; glGetIntegerv(GL_TEXTURE_BINDING_2D,&ID); glGetTexLevelParameteriv(GL_TEXTURE_2D,0,GL_TEXTURE_WIDTH,&Width); glGetTexLevelParameteriv(GL_TEXTURE_2D,0,GL_TEXTURE_HEIGHT,&Height); std::cout << ID << ": " << Width << "*" << Height << std::endl; [/CODE] The weird thing is that I have another program, and it uses the exact same code, but it works in that program. glGetError returns 0 ie no error. The code loading the texture and all is compiled and linked into a static library, and I have a test project that links with it, so I can see, if the code I've written works or not.

Oh, The Changes I'd Make To The Astros
If Ed Wade were gone...
Photo by Aaron M. Sprecher
The Astros Fan Blogger at Chron.com had an interesting post late last week.The gist of the post was that Drayton McLane had just fired Ed Wade and that he'd made the reader the general manager, then he wanted to know the first five things one would do as the general manager.
The blogger himself had some decent ideas, but I thought I would give my five suggestions. So as the new general manager of the Houston Astros, my first five actions would be...
!. Not taking the job unless Tal Smith is let go from his position. For years the rumors have been that McLane listens to Smith's advice more than anybody's when it comes to running the Astros. So if there's anybody out there that needs to be blamed for Carlos Lee, Miguel Tejada, the vacant farm system, Gerry Hunsicker's departure, it's probably Smith. So for the Astros to have any chance of improvement, he's got to go.
(Of course, this actually a prerequisite to my taking the job. So if this doesn't happen, I don't even take the job.)

2. I put in a call to Gerry Hunsicker and ask if he'll come work as my adviser in the same position as he now has with the Tampa Bay Rays. The guy did good work with the Astros, and he's doing good work with the Rays. I'll put him to work with Bobby Heck on rebuilding the farm system. He'll become a key adviser as to talent. And as far as I'm concerned, he can have as much credit as he desires.
3. Not only is Cecil Cooper fired, but for the first time in McLane's tenure as owner, the Astros are hiring a legit major league manager. All of McLane's hires have been either untested first-timers (Terry Collins, Larry Dierker, Cecil Cooper) or second-time failures (Jimy Williams and Phil Garner). The one thing they all have in common is that they worked cheap. I liked Dierker, and would consider giving him another shot, but this team needs somebody who has success as a major league manager and is used to working with overpriced slackers like Carlos Lee. Thus I'm putting in a call to Davey Johnson. Johnson won a World Series with the New York Mets and he got the Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles into the playoffs -- the Orioles are a good example of an aging team of slackers that Johnson got to work as a team.
4. Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt are on the trading block. I'm a big fan of both, but they're about the only commodities on this team that will fetch the team young talent. It's useless trying to put Carlos Lee up for trade. Only a stupid team like the Astros would offer a slacker like Lee the money that the Astros did. Besides, Lee has made it clear he wants to stay here. After all, what other team would let him skip out on spring training so that he could go to the rodeo?
5. I wouldn't sign Miguel Tejada or Jose Valverde to contracts this off-season. And as much as I want the draft picks, I don't even offer them arbitration. I want them off of this team. I want them goodbye forever.

The Time Patrol(1991)
(A book in the Time Patrol series)
An omnibus of novels by Poul Anderson
Forget minor hazards like nuclear bombs. The discovery of time travel means that everything we know, anyone we know, might not only vanish, but never even have existed. Against that possibility stand the men and women of the Time Patrol, dedicated to preserving the history they know and protecting the future from fanatics, terrorists, and would-be dictators who would remold the shape of reality to suit their own purposes. But Manse Everard, the Patrol's finest temporal trouble-shooter, bears a heavy burden. The fabric of history is stained with human blood and suffering which he cannot, must not do anything to alleviate, lest his tampering bring disastrous alterations in future time. Everard must leave the horrors of the past in place, lest his tampering-or that of the Patrol's opponents, the Exaltationists-erase all hope of a better future, and instead bring about a future filled with greater horrors than any recorded by past history at its darkest and most foul.

Early Onset Appendicitis Symptoms
Approximately 5 percent of people in the United States develop appendicitis at some point during their lives, according to medical experts with the Merck Manual. Appendicitis is an inflammatory condition that causes the appendix, a small organ within the abdomen, to enlarge and swell. People who develop appendicitis symptoms should seek medical care immediately. Without prompt treatment, a swollen appendix can burst, which can cause life-threatening medical complications.
Aching Abdominal Pain
Initially, people with appendicitis can experience a dull, aching pain that originates near the navel. Over the span of a few hours, the aching abdominal pain can migrate from the middle of the stomach to the lower right hand side of the abdomen. This position corresponds to the location of the appendix. The aching pain typically becomes sharper and more intense over several hours and can cause affected people to double over in pain. Sensations of abdominal pain can increase in severity when a person moves about or coughs. Painful early appendicitis symptoms will generally increase in severity until a person receives treatment.
Upset Stomach
Abdominal irritation and inflammation caused by appendicitis can contribute to the development of upset stomach symptoms in affected people. The characteristic features of early stomach upset symptoms include nausea or vomiting. These upset stomach symptoms can contribute to a loss of appetite in certain people with appendicitis.
Bowel Movement Changes
Inflammation of the appendix can extend into a person's intestinal tract. If this occurs, people can develop bowel movement changes as early appendicitis symptoms. Affected people can experience frequent urges to defecate that yield runny or watery stools. Alternatively, certain people with appendicitis can find it difficult to produce a normal bowel movement or pass gas. Bowel movement difficulties can be uncomfortable and may exacerbate upset stomach symptom in people with appendicitis.
Abdominal Swelling
As the appendix expands due to inflammation, people with appendicitis can notice that their abdomen appears swollen or distended. Early abdominal swelling due to appendicitis can cause clothing, such as pants, to feel unusually tight around a person's waist. The swollen abdominal region can also be tender or firm to the touch.

|Kitsuki Taiko
|1171, month of the Rooster
Kitsuki Taiko was a Dragon Clan magistrate and bushi. She had a trademark tattoo in her cheek.
Appearance Edit
Taiko was a young woman with a simple elegance that had always made her quite appealing to young men. It was likely that she would have been the object of countless suitors even at this young age. If it were not for the fact that her fierce intelligence and independence had intimidated the vast majority of young men that had attempted to get close to her. For all her intelligence, for all her vaunted powers of perception, Taiko had never noticed this tendency; matters of romance and marriage had never been important to her, and she had never paid them any attention. [1]
Demeanor Edit
Taiko was a brilliant judge of character, and could often deduce complex interrelations between others simply by observing them for short periods. To Taiko, the world was a riddle that was awaiting discovery. Every challenge set before her in court or otherwise, was a riddle to be solved, and she committed herself fully to them. Once committed, she did not stop until it was solved. [1]
Topaz Championship - 1168 Edit
In 1168 Taiko passed her gempukku and was a contender of the Topaz Championship. She met the irritating and stunningly handsome Kakita Hideo. [2]
Gaining her first tatto Edit
In 1169 Taiko found a Dragon Puzzle Box outside her room, and came to examine it throught the Jade Mirror, as counseled her sensei Kitsuki Ryushi. In the High House of Light Togashi Ieshige allowed to use the mirror, which showed her several images of fire, water, air, and earth, and finally the box mirrored opened, but the real one remained intact and unopened. Outside the castle this night she torched the box, drop water from her rice bowl, fanned air with her robes, picked up the largest rock nearby and dropped it onto the puzzle box, and the box was opened. Inside there were three pine needles. The Dragon Clan Champion Togashi Satsu in dragon form appeared and told he was who sent the box. Satsu wished Taiko knew that he saw her and what she could do. The pine needles came from the tree they were behind, where he talked with his father Togashi Hoshi. [3]
Tattooed Edit
Taiko wished a tattoo as a keepsake, a reminder of who she was. Taiko knew she might not have the tattoos using the blood of Satsu, like the Togashi, but she could still wore his marks. She came to the tattoo master Togashi Iroshi, in a temple guarded by Togashi Miyoko. Iroshi tattooed her with true blood of Satsu, without Taiko noticed it. [3] After it Taiko favored tattoos commemorating each major victory or discovery with a small tattoo somewhere on her body, most of which could not be seen by others. In this way, she had chosen to create a history of her life that would be with her always. [1] She had a Hummingbird tattoo on her cheekbone. [4]
Appearance Edit
Taiko was considered smart and quite pretty, but also annoyingly virtous, by the Emerald Champion Shosuro Jimen. [5]
Prophecy Edit
This year Taiko met again Kakita Hideo in the Imperial Archives at Toshi Ranbo, where he determined that a scroll she was researching was a request for aid sent by the Fox Clan. Hideo pointed a notation written in a Sparrow code used by other members of the Three Man Alliance. It indicated the scroll was written less than two weeks before the Battle of Toshi Ranbo. [2]
Kitsune lands Edit
Hideo escorted Taiko to the Kitsune lands as her yojimbo. In the Scorpion-fox border they were halted by Fox guards, who denying the entrance to their territory. Taiko saw several men lurking from the bushes, and they began to fire arrows to both groups. Hideo and the Kitsune killed two of the bandits, and the rest disappeared as smoke. Taiko used her healing knowledge to save Kitsune Hibume's life. [6]
Prophet revealed Edit
They met the Fox Clan Champion, Kitsune Ryukan, and the prophet Kitsune Narako. They told bandits had haunted the Kitsune Mori and tried to kidnap Narako several times. Taiko and Ryukan were able to figure out the bandit's equipment had the mon of the Sons of Winter bandit group on it, although they had supposedly been destroyed in Shinomen Mori ages ago. The prophet commanded Taiko and Hideo to be her yojimbo during the march toward the Jade Championship, or the Kitsune Mori would burn. [6]
Test of the Jade Champion Edit
Taiko and Hideo reached Moshi Amika, the Moshi Daimyo in the Jade Championship. [7] Amika was reluctant to believe them, but the spectacular prophecy Narako made in front of many powerful shugenja cleared her doubts. She took the prophet under Mantis protection. Taiko and Hideo had the debt of her family and her clan, and whenever they require aid, they might call upon the Mantis and they would answer. [8] Amika returned with Narako and the Tsuruchi gave them the military aid requested. [9] Taiko would come back to Dragon lands to make a full report of the prophet. She was convinced by Hideo to ask her Lord to return to Narako's side. [10]
Race for the Throne Edit
At Kyuden Otomo Taiko pondered with Doji Ayano who would be best suited for Emperor. Taiko supported her Lord Satsu, and Ayano the Crane's ally Lady, Otomo Hoketuhime. They did not see they had been lurked by Bayushi Eisaku. [11]
Medinat al-Salaam Edit
This year Taiko was among those considered by the Scorpion Clan as the Dragon Clan ambassador to Medinat al-Salaam, and chosen by Yogo Honami as someone who could be dangerous and should be sent. [12]
Prophet Edit
Taiko and Hideo had managed to recruit a few additional samurai to assist in our investigation, and they were all marshalling resources before they returned to the Kitsune Mori. [4] Yoritomo Saburo and Hiruma Aki went with Taiko and Hideo to Kyuden Kitsune to help protect Narako. The Mantis did not see their pressence necessary, because the attacks had stopped. Aki saw it as the calm before the tempest, and he expected new attacks when the prophet's guard lowered their attention. Taiko and Hideo departed to deliver their request to the Mantis, while Aki and Saburo went to Narako's side. They soon found tracks that the unknown assailants had never left the Kitsune Mori. [13]
Shadow Dragon exposed Edit
Although the attacks seemed to abate when the Mantis and Crab sweeped the forest, the attacks did not abate fully. In fact, the dark forces gathered for one last, strong push in 1170. The Shadow Dragon had turned his attention to the Kitsune Mori, and planned to use the Fox' connection to Chikushudo to gain the awareness of all animals in the world, making him nearly omniscient. When the dragon realized Narako had the gift of prophecy, he instead sent the Sons of Winter to kidnap her, and to take her gift for himself. Narako's guardians, Hiruma Aki, Bayushi Eisaku, Kakita Hideo, Yoritomo Saburo, and Kitsuki Taiko were powerless to stop the Dragon's attack, but when the Shadow Dragon tried to absorb Narako, he triggered another prophecy and was ejected from her body, and fled. [14]
Empress Edit
Narako told the prophecy was to be only for the Empress's ears. It troubled the samurai, being the Imperial Throne vacant at that time. One month later the Kitsuki Iweko became the Empress Iweko I. Iweko was Taiko eighth cousin by marriage, but she could not reach her after she became Empress. [14]
Winter Court - 1170 Edit
Taiko met Hideo again at winter court at Kyuden Bayushi. [14]
Death Edit
As the Destroyer's army battered at the Kaiu Wall in 1171, Taiko journeyed with several other samurai into the Shadowlands to ascertain the source of the threat. The small group encountered Kali-Ma [15] in the month of the Rooster, [16] who told them of her plans to crush the Empire. Taiko stayed behind with Bayushi Eisaku and Moto Juncheng in order to buy time for the others to escape. She died at hands of Kali-Ma's demonic minions. [17]

Why does it take so long to get through talking to people and automated systems to get the CORRECT FREAKING PERSON on the phone so I can get a replacement for a monitor that is on warranty?
They keep pushing my call to client services, then to server issues with WINDOWS, and now I have just been routed to VMWARE SUPPORT! WTF IS GOING ON!?

Unfortuantly, it's not just Dell :(
Aug 11, 2009 at 10:59 UTC
Dell support is a mess; has been for a while now. I've got an XPS laptop from them and it was a pain trying to get things done. They often didn't even know what kind of WARRANTY I had. I blame this on the fact they've been closing down call-centers in North America and shipping them overseas or just collapsing them down on a smaller and smaller number of offices. I actually had a friend who worked in the one in Ottawa until they closed it down; not a fun time.
Anyways, so yeah; Dell doesn't know what they're doing on the phones. Just hang in there I guess :/ Maybe you'll win Extension Roulette :P
Aug 11, 2009 at 10:59 UTC
Dell is one of the better ones. Or add Dell Pro support for IT to your next hardware purchase and you can go straight to a human being. It's not that expensive (especially if you have a business account and a salesman) and you get what you need without having to jump through hoops.
Aug 11, 2009 at 11:01 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Or go to a consulting firm that is not also a vendor. One of the consulting firms to whom places like Dell turn when they have real work to be done. You get even better service that way.
Aug 11, 2009 at 11:08 UTC
We have the Gold support but I honestly don't think that means anything. I will be putting a complaint in to our account rep, this is nuts.
So I finally get somebody to help me and its taking them about 30 minutes to dispatch for the replacement.
Total time spent on the phone: 1h 45min
Aug 12, 2009 at 1:09 UTC
Our experience with Dell Support (mostly Gold) has been really good in here Australia. Maybe we're lucky...
Aug 12, 2009 at 3:41 UTC
Our experience has been pretty good too. We had a failed hard disk on one of our servers. It was despatched at 11.30am and was on my desk when I got back from lunch at 2pm!
Aug 12, 2009 at 8:09 UTC
Dell Phone support leaves a lot to be desired, I agree. In fact, I Avoid it. The last time I called was two years ago when we were setting up our new server, and I got a guy who's name was "Bob" who was obviously NOT American and was so patronizing I almost smacked him through the phone!
I have discovered the wonder that is Dell Chat support. Just login to our account on the Dell website (if you don't have an account you just need to make sure you have your service tag) .. I click on the service tag for the machine I need help with and voila. I scedule onsite replacements and troubleshoot all matter of issues quickly and efficiently. Plus they email me a log of the chat and tend to send me follow up emails to make sure the problem was resolved.
Next time you need support, I highly recommend getting on the internet and using the Chat support.
Aug 12, 2009 at 11:59 UTC
Our gold, silver and next business day support from Dell has been flawlessly efficient and helpful -- new motherboards, memory, RAID drives and a tech shows up about 30 minutes after the part does (if I elect for a tech to perform the service), usually around 10 am the next day. The support on the phone has been great (a couple of times pointing me in the direction of other resources to help my daily tasks); although I've typically already run the diags they ask for, I'll do so so they can check their boxes and then they'll immediately set up the warranty call without any issues.
I'll second Gracie's positive review of the chat support as well though -- I had forgotten about that but I found it very useful when I was in the middle of three other priority 0 issues.
I'm just hoping I didn't just jinx the positive experience though ;)
Aug 13, 2009 at 2:48 UTC
I've always found Dell support to be pretty good although I've only dealt with Business support. I usually have to speak to two humans to get what I want sorted (although the first one just seems to take a note of my tag number in order to pass me on to number 2 who actually fixes or sends out replacements for the problem)
Aug 14, 2009 at 8:03 UTC
I also have the same experiences as Andrew, talk to two people and the parts get sent. They also want to try and get you to do the scripted troubleshooting, but I just tell them "I have already done that" and insist they sent the parts. Usually, 15 minutes on the phone......
Aug 14, 2009 at 9:10 UTC
The number I always use is 866-516-3355. I believe that takes you to a representative for Gold Support. Depending on what you're calling for (enterprise products vs. consumer products) you'll either get right through or bounce around. Also depending on your service level agreement (Gold support you'll typically get a support rep right away) that will also dictate how long you wait.
3 or 4 years ago I used to have to wait up to an hour on hold. That's no longer the case, I actually give 2 thumbs up for the response times now, usually speaking to a human tech support rep within 2 minutes.
You might also try the online chat if it's something simple. I've used that before and it's obvious they are helping about 10 people at once, but it gets the job done if you're not in a hurry.
Aug 14, 2009 at 5:20 UTC
I go to support.dell.com for chat. Then no matter how long it takes I am not tied to the phone.
Aug 14, 2009 at 10:57 UTC
I've never had a bad experience with Dell support. In sharp conrast to HP, which I've never had a good experience with. I admit, though, for some hardware failure they want to use their built-in tools to troubleshoot so if I anticipate that I run them first before calling.

Katie Price goes on X Factor datePosted on: December 14, 2009 16:22:07
Katie Price's reunion date with Alex Reid was never going to be a low-profile affair - and, true to form, the two were spotted in the audience at the X Factor final, just weeks after the glamour model dumped him during a live TV interview.
The pair were in the audience for the final episode of the singing contest, which saw Geordie Joe McElderry beat competition from Olly Murs to take home the title of champion for 2009.
According to the Daily Mail, Katie "made a show" of being alone, despite the fact that they arrived at London's Fountain Studios in the same car.
"Reid climbed out first and hid in McDonald's, while Katie made her red carpet entrance. Once inside they visited Simon Cowell in his dressing room,"
Earlier in the evening, Katie tweeted that she was going to see the final with her friends - and then listed Reid's name among them.
People looking for a date of their own could find that an online dating service helps them to embark on a new relationship with someone special.

Reader: You're an idiot to drink and ride
The streets of Denver are filled with bicyclists -- some doing errands, some going to and from work, some out for recreation, and others seeking a drink. For that last group, Laura Shunk served up a weekend B-Cycle bar tour that was "seriously cheap and disgusting," according to Bradman.
And that's not all. Says Denverite:
Drinking and riding should be celebrated no more than drinking and driving. I do drink and ride my bike but I definitely never push that activity onto others. You're an idiot!

Fans at the Big City Classic were treated to a first hand look at the brand new Easton Raptor Helmet. IL Gear Zone was there every step of the way to document the newest product to hit the lacrosse world.
We have photos of St. Andrews trying the Raptors on for the first time during their Saturday practice, to when they first walked out of the locker room showing of their new lids. Fans too, were able to get their hands on the helmet at the impressive Easton Lacrosse Experience during all the exciting Big City games.
A couple Gear Zone notes on the Easton Raptor Helmet:
The Raptor is set to be available this October.
Ryan Demorest
12:00 p.m.
Alright lax rats, just got back in from the New Meadowlands early this morning so here's the update and photos to answer some of your comment inquiries. First, check out the tilt control that was designed into the Raptor. The adjustable dial control is able to be snapped in and out to control the angle of vision. This completely eliminates the awkward and uncomfortable effect of having the second bar right in your line of sight. The Raptor will come with two sizes of removable inner foam padding and a third obscure size will also be available to customers for purchase. The photo of the inner padding has the ear padding removed so that we can take a better look at the inner shell. As you can see from the photos below the adjustable dial unsnaps and can be adjusted on the inner back part of the helmet. There are also looks at the free floating goalie throat protector which has slits already on the chin piece of the helmet so no worries of messing up your helmet with a faulty hole with the power drill.
Next, the price of the Raptor has not been set and if it has not been announced. These Raptors were specifically designed with a promotional color scheme to compliment Easton's company colors. We were reassured that the helmets St. Andrews wore would be replaced and redesigned with their team color scheme. The Easton logos and brand name will not be stamped all over the Raptor like this one has, but they will have their logo on the Raptor just like any company rightfully would. Multiple reps let us know that this is not the 100% final product there will be tweaks made and be sure to check back with Inside Lacrosse for the latest on the Easton Raptor helmet.

Red Wings, officials agree to disagree on Game 3 finish
By Helene St. James, Detroit Free Press
ANAHEIM, Calif. Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock woke up Wednesday morning and was still bitter about how Game 3 ended.
"I have a hard time," he said after a short practice at Honda Center, site of Thursday night's Game 4 against the Anaheim Ducks, "with the fact that when you get two and they get two, how the game is not still going on."
Marian Hossa scored with 1:04 to go in Game 3, but referee Brad Watson had lost sight of the puck and blown the play dead, so no goal for the Wings, and instead they had to swallow a 2-1 loss that mirrored where they are in the best-of-seven second-round series. The Wings are 7-17 they've trailed a series 2-1.
GAME REPORT: Ducks 2, Red Wings 1
The Ducks, who have won five of the last six playoff games against the Wings dating to the 2007 Western Conference finals, conceded they got lucky in Game 3, in which the Wings outshot them 18-3 the last 20 minutes.
"I think so, for sure," Ducks winger Teemu Selanne said. "I don't think anybody is happy with how we played in the third period. It seems to me that every time when we start to play it safe and are just backing up, we're going to have problems. The best defense is offense, and you can't really change your style and your game plan, and I think we changed too much in the third period — they got the momentum going, and yeah, it was lucky. The referee, he didn't see the puck and made the whistle, and that was our luck."
The Wings pulled Chris Osgood at 1:26 and loaded the ice with their top players. The play was behind Anaheim's net when Ducks defenseman Scott Niedermayer turned the puck over, and Johan Franzen whacked it into the crease, behind Jonas Hiller. The puck slid toward the left goal post across the blue paint when Hossa dove and sent the puck over the goal line. Hiller never froze the puck, but Watson lost track of it from his vantage point towards the far corner.
E.J. McGuire, series manager and spokesman for officials, defended the call, saying that, "the official was down along the goal line. He was moving forward toward the net to try to get a look at where the puck was. When he couldn't see the puck, all referees' instructions are to blow the whistle and blow the play dead. A combination of the black puck and the black pants may have been a factor. But when he didn't see the puck, he blew the whistle."
The puck was clearly in the blue paint when Hossa poked it, but McGuire said Watson, "didn't make a mistake. In hindsight, if he had a slow-motion camera to review it, he may not have (blown the whistle). He did what all officials are instructed to do: Blow the whistle when they don't see the puck. And he didn't see the puck. It's an emotional game. He wanted to explain to the players on the ice, as he saw it, the puck was out of sight and he blew the whistle. The assumption was that the puck was covered."
It was non-reviewable, leaving the Wings to look to their strong third period as a reason to be hopeful they'll swing this series their way tonight.
"We've just got to stay patient, keep wearing their D out," Hossa said. "Just keep doing the same thing. We believe we play a strong game. We feel we are doing a better job getting at them. We just have to keep grinding in their zone. We lost the last two games by one goal, and both could have gone in a different direction. It's so tight. We just have to make sure we score one more next game."

Rutledge ran a story in The scuttlebutt, and Patsy got a phone call from man saying he was her sailor.
That brought a response from John Rutledge, who ran a Florida-based newsletter, The scuttlebutt.
What was the scuttlebutt as to his court-martial; was that because he had the unregistered or private weapon?
And you had no information direct or indirect of any kind or character, scuttlebutt, hearsay or otherwise, up to that moment?
Did there come to your attention any scuttlebutt among employees as to any past history of his?
"Just understand that I don't give a hoot in a scuttlebutt if you do turn me over to the police," pursued the man.
Every now and again one or another of them, choked with the dust, went to get a draft of lukewarm water from the scuttlebutt.
Was there any scuttlebutt around the camp in that regard with respect to him?
Was there any rumor or scuttlebutt that he at one time had been given some psychiatric attention?
What was the scuttlebutt about that particular incident, if any?
1805, "cask of drinking water kept on a ship's deck, having a hole (scuttle) cut in it for a cup or dipper," from scuttle "opening in a ship's deck" (see scuttle (v.2)) + butt (n.2) "barrel." Earlier scuttle cask (1777). Meaning "rumor, gossip" first recorded 1901, originally nautical slang, traditionally said to be from the sailors' custom of gathering around the scuttlebutt to gossip. Cf. water-cooler, figurative for "workplace gossip" mid-20c.
Rumors; gossip; presumed confidential information: worry about a slump, according to business scuttlebutt
[1901+ Navy; fr the chitchat around the scuttlebutt, ''drinking fountain, water cask,'' on naval vessels]
