• spate •
Pronunciation: spayt • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. A flash flood; a deluge, sudden flood or enormous gush. 2. A huge downpour, a gully-washer capable of producing a flash flood. 3. A huge amount or number.
Notes: We frequently use today's Good Word figuratively without knowing its literal sense. Now we do. Of course, if we don't use this word in its literal sense any more, does it even retain that meaning? The original, literal sense of a gully-washer or deluge is still alive in Great Britain and other English-speaking lands, so we should maintain it here in North America.
In Play: Let's begin with the original meaning of today's word: "When the dam broke, the resulting spate carried away all the bridges for 100 miles downstream." In the US it is only used now to indicate a large number or amount: "Our merger with the Doolittle and Slack Consulting firm brought a spate of new work for me."
Word History: Today's Good Word came originally from Scotland in the sense of a sudden flood or flash flood. We are not certain of its actual origin, but it seems related to Dutch spuiten "to flow, spout". English contains several other words related to moving water beginning on SP and ending on T, such as spurt, spatter, spit and spattle, an archaic form of spit. They all may be related, but none carry the sense of great quantity associated with today's word. (We have received a spate of suggestions for Good Words from Lew Jury this year, all words as good as today's.)

Last week, I posted a question: What are the small treats you give yourself?
I was very interested to see the range of "treats" people identified in the comments, and I got some good ideas for myself.
I do think it's important to take time for treats, because treats help us to feel energized, restored, and light-hearted. Without them, we can start to feel resentful, depleted, and irritable. My younger daughter has "Choice Time" every day in first grade, and I think we adults need some "Choice Time" ourselves, at least occasionally.
However, in identifying treats, I wonder if other people face the same challenge that I often face: making time for those treats.
People listed treats like rollerblading, making bread, and a hot bath–all great treats, for the right person, but they take some time and energy to set up.
In my case, one of my favorite treats is reading children's and young-adult literature. Right now my stack includes Diana Wynne Jones's Dogsbody, Robin Hobb's Assassin's Apprentice, and Betty Smith's A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (which I've read several times, but not for years). Nevertheless, I find myself saving these books for a "treat," and instead, reading a lot of books for work. (Really, this is also a treat, because I love my subject so much, but it's not the same level of treat). I remind myself: Read for fun! Make time for the treat! That's what makes me happy.
I also remind myself of my personal personal commandment to Spend out. Don't "save" those books, but enjoy them now, make time for them.
But while this is an issue for me, I was happy to see commenters suggest many treats (I've add them to my own list) which don't take extra time or energy. Using a beautiful hand-soap, opening a bottle of vanilla, lighting a candle, petting a dog–well, I don't have a dog, so I'll have to substitute family members. It's nice to have several of these treats on hand, so you can give yourself a little lift, even when you can't go rollerblading.
How about you? Do you ever struggle to make time for your treats? Do they keep slipping to the bottom of your to-do list? I've vowed to make time to treat myself.
Every Friday's post proposes a resolution for you to consider for your own happiness project.

Putnam 529 Age-Based 2006
The Age-Based Asset Allocation Investment Options invest across four broad asset categories: money market, fixed income investments, U.S. equity investments and non-U.S. equity investments. Within these categories, investments are spread over a range of Underlying Investments that concentrate on different asset classes or reflect different styles.
- Guide: Saving for college
- Highlights
- Performance
- Holdings
- Expenses
Fund DescriptionThe year in which the Beneficiary of an Account was born determines how contributions are allocated. An Account for a Beneficiary who is an infant will be weighted toward Asset Allocation Portfolios that invest in equity securities. The allocation varies from 85% equity and 15% fixed income to 15% equity and 85% fixed income as the age of the Beneficiary increases.

Data is historical. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. More recent returns may be less or more than those shown. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and you may have a gain or a loss when you sell your shares. Performance assumes reinvestment of distributions. Returns after sales charge for class A shares reflect a sales charge of 5.75% for the Goal-Based, Age-Based, Absolute Return 500 and 700 funds, and Equity Asset Class Options, and 4.00% for the Fixed-Income Asset Class Option. The Government Money Market option does not have an initial sales charge or CDSC, and Absolute Return 100 and 300 Funds initial sales charge is 1.00%. Performance reflects ongoing fees and expenses, including an annualized 0.20% fee charged by the College Savings Plans of Nevada and the Nevada College Savings Trust Fund and the fees and other expenses of the Putnam Mutual Funds in which the plan invests. The funds' expense ratios are taken from the most recent prospectus and are subject to change.
Indexes are unmanaged and used as a broad measure of market performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Please see the offering statement for more information.
Portfolio characteristics will vary over time.
Due to rounding, percentages may not equal 100%.
Consider these risks before investing: International investing involves certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, economic instability, and political developments. Additional risks may be associated with emerging-market securities, including illiquidity and volatility. The fund may invest a portion of its assets in small and/or midsize companies. Such investments increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. Funds that invest in government securities are not guaranteed. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk. The use of derivatives involves additional risks, such as the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions and the potential failure of the other party to the instrument to meet its obligations. Funds that invest in bonds are subject to certain risks including interest-rate risk, credit risk, and inflation risk. As interest rates rise, the prices of bonds fall. Long-term bonds are more exposed to interest-rate risk than short-term bonds. Unlike bonds, bond funds have ongoing fees and expenses.

"I love my invitations! This was a simple yet elegant way for me to invite my guests to our wedding. Our picture on the invitation came out beautiful. I love how I was able to print on the front and back of the reception card, making it easy for both myself and my guests. Highly recommended for a simple, chic, and elegant girl!!"
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"I have recently ordered this in the gold text with the white envelopes. Quality of paper, text and colours were brilliant, clear resolution and of fine quality. All personal design requests that i had made were dealt with in no time, quick, friendly helpful service. All ordered online, did not have to telephone or get in contact with anyone, was a simple and easy process overall. Delivery of this item was much faster than i had anticipated, as it was an international delivery it was delivered within 2 working days, which i am very pleased with as i was told it would take up to 5-11 days. Very pleased with this product and with Wedding Paper Divas, especially as this was my first time coming across this website and purchasing from here. i will most definitely recommend this card for someone who is looking for a simple yet elegant wedding invitation. I will also be ordering from Wedding Paper Divas again as i am really impressed with the service, quality and range of choice."
"Was worried about ordering the invitations online, sight unseen, but I could not be happier with the end result! They were delivered a week before I expected them, and the quality of the paper and over product was exceptional."
"I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT! I was planning to do my own invitations but when I saw the price of wedding paper divas I was amazed! I was worried they wouldn't be the best quality for what I paid for such a cool design, but they are awesome! I have had so many compliments from the people I have showed. I had two things personally changed on the RSVP card and they were great with my personalized requests! They sent me my proof right away! I ordered my invites on a Wednesday, and the NEXT Tuesday I had them at my front step! LESS THAN A WEEK! Great Service!"

Patriot Viper III Review: 2x4 GB at DDR3-2400 C10-12-12 1.65 Vby Ian Cutress on 11/18/2013 1:00 PM EST

julandorid - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkThanks for the review, but what exactly "featured review" means? Reply
IanCutress - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkThat's a little tagline we can attach to the front page articles when they're on the top. Reply
Wall Street - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkI think that it is the opposite of capsule review. A featured review is a.k.a. a full review. Reply
TemjinGold - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkWhoa... why is the 2X4 by GSkill $520? Reply
IanCutress - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkDDR-3000 C12: you have to bin a lot of ICs to get ones with the right voltage/performance characteristics for that kit. Same reason why the more expensive CPUs are also the faster (in MHz numbers or cores) than the cheaper ones. Reply
ShieTar - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkTrue. But you can get DDR 2666 with CL10 for about 100€, so a set with an 7% shorter access time (higher "PI" as Ian insists on calling it), and only a 11% lower transfer rate for about a fifth of the price.
The 500$ kit seems to be exclusively for those who don't have to work for their money, or maybe those who are hunting records as a hobby. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkThe very top of the line always is extremely expensive, and - when it's the result of extreme binning - has to be in order to limit demand to the miniscule supply available. Reply
Gen-An - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkExactly, they have to test the ICs individually with those tester kits and bin them for speed. I just find it amazing that a chip that is designed for say, 1600 C11 at 1.5v has the potential to run 3100 C12 with 1.65v, that's nearly double its rated clock speed with a mere 0.15v bump in voltage. Reply
sf101 - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkIf you want 2400 guaranteed out of the box you pay the premiums.
most of the 2133 mhz black momba sticks could also do 2666mhz @ 10-13-10-30-2t but your voltages may vary.
And more than likely some of that is because of individual IMC tolerances per cpu. Reply
Franzen4Real - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkWhen it comes to memory, over the years I have tried to read up on different reviews and look at benchmarks in an attempt to understand when it is better to run tighter timings/lower MHz as opposed to looser timings/higher bandwidth. I'm sure it is a case by case basis, but was wondering if the always knowledgeable and helpful Anandtech commenters could give me a quick, dummy terms, explanation of when tight timings or clockspeed is better? Looking at your graph, it shows the C7 1866 through C10 2666 all having the same performance index score, but what situations do those different timings/MHz become better/worse? I hope this isn't too in depth of a question.
I don't know if this analogy is correct, but I'm seeing it as if RAM was a race car on a track, high bandwidth/loose timings would mean your car travels faster, but has to do more laps around the track to complete. Tight timings/lower bandwidth means the car travels slower but doesn't have to do as many laps to complete. If I am correct on this, at what point does less laps trump traveling faster?
As a side note, I am looking to build a Haswell desktop in Jan/Feb. It will have one GPU (probably one of the R9's) and more than likely a 2x8gb RAM kit. My usage would very roughly be 70% gaming, 25% rendering in 3DS Max and using some Adobe programs, 5% or less video encoding. I'm looking for help in deciding what to look for in this scenario, but also to finally have a better understanding of how these settings affect different workloads.
Sorry for the wall of text!! Reply
Impulses - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkIan has a pretty in depth article on this subject, look back thru the archives.
Memory prices haven't increased as much as I thought, if at all... I bought a 1600 4x4GB Patriot kit last year, precisely around this time, it was like $55 or something with a discount (I remember not seeing any better deals around Black Friday). My first exposure to Patriot too but it's worked out well. Reply
hp9000 - Friday, November 22, 2013 - linkI'm not so sure about that, I bought a 32gb 1866 G.Skill Ares kit in December of last year for $109.99 (I'm looking at the invoice) and now the same kit is $283.49 (newegg). That's a huge price increase in my book. Reply
IanCutress - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkYou want my memory scaling article on Haswell:
There are 26 different combinations of MHz / CAS there, from 1333 C9 to 3000 C12, representative of many 2x4 GB Hynix MFR kits available to purchase today. Reply
Franzen4Real - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkOh great!! Thank You!! Not sure how I missed that in the first place.... Bigtime thanks for all of your time and effort on these tests!! Reply
djscrew - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkA (very) basic rule of thumb: 1 Cas Latency = 1 Command Rate = 1 Bump in MHz (1333/1600/1866). With the bump in MHz considered more valuable. Reply
dingetje - Monday, November 18, 2013 - link1.65 volt and higher ?
so the haswell memory controller doesnt have a problem with voltage higher than 1.5 or will it get fried eventually ? Reply
IanCutress - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkDid you used to have Hyper memory on Nehalem by any chance? That combination had issues above 1.75 volts. I have not encountered any issues running memory up to 1.75v on Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge or Haswell. All my chips just work. Otherwise 1.65 volt kits wouldn't be selling as well as they do, and overclockers wouldn't be pushing 1.8v on air / 2.0+ volts on liquid nitrogen. Reply
dingetje - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkthat it runs great i dont doubt....was just wondering wether on the long term the hawell memory controller will have issues (seeing the spec is 1.5) Reply
dingetje - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - link^haswell (typo)
im running a 1.35v (@1.5v) crucial kit myself on haswell by the way Reply
mfenn - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkYes, because extreme overclockers care so much about longevity. Ian, you should make an effort to get out of the extreme OC and corporate PR echo chambers once and a while. It is really having an effect on the quality of your articles. Reply
mfenn - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkExpanding upon this point: the data in Anandtech articles is always top notch, but it is becoming more and more obvious that there are two tiers of reviewers when it comes to delivering insight. Anand, Brian, Ryan, and Jarred write good conclusions based on their data and don't care about any blowback from the manufacturers. Dustin and Ian seem beholden to the manufacturer's PR departments and just parrot whatever talking points they're given. It's really disappointing. Reply
Gen-An - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkAnd who exactly do you think is going to be interested in a kit like this, other than overclockers? The review fit the product and the target audience. It's not for general users, never will be, and doesn't need to be reviewed as if it were. Reply
Gen-An - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkPatriot has changed the ICs on this kit without changing the SKU. I have two of the 2x4GB kits that only have 8 chips on a single side of the PCB and none on the other, and use Hynix H5TQ4G83MFR 4Gbit ICs (the same ones that are on those DDR3-3000+ kits) and clock accordingly. One kit I bought but took back was like these in the review, double-sided sticks with 16 chips per stick (8 per side) and using a relatively new IC, Hynix H5TQ2G83DFR, which can't clock as high as H5TQ2G83CFR unfortunately. Reply
IanCutress - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkWith the demand for MFR seemingly strong, and other companies other than Patriot going after 2400MHz and up, I guess going to CFR was more a financial choice.
Companies seem rather reluctant to tell me which ICs they use, and popping a heatspreader off is no mean feat nowadays, with accidents happening regularly: http://forum.hwbot.org/showpost.php?p=207472&p...
That's compounded by the fact that sometimes the IC # is removed and replaced with the company name over and over. Any suggestions? Reply
Gen-An - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkCFR would have been preferable to DFR, which as you review and this one show, doesn't like going higher than 2600: http://www.techstation.it/articoli/patriot-viper-i... Reply
chekk42 - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkIan, whatever happened to low latencies? I'm currently running a 1600MHz CL7 kit which I bought 2+ years ago, but I only ever see CL9 (and up) kits in reviews or for sale these days. Reply
joos2000 - Monday, November 18, 2013 - linkLower latencies doesn't yield the same performance returns as upping the clock frequencies, that's why.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7364/memory-scaling-... Reply
ShieTar - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkThe reason is that defining latency as a multiple of clocks is rather silly with a large range of clock speeds available concurrently. What your CL7 means is that you have a latency of 4.38 ns (7/1600MHz). The fastest latencies in other clockings available are:
1066 CL7 => 6.56 ns
1333 CL7 => 5.25 ns
1600 CL6 => 3.75 ns (But only on 2GB kits)
1866 CL8 => 4.29 ns
2133 CL9 => 4.22 ns
2400 CL9 => 3.75 ns
2666 CL10 => 3.75 ns
2800 CL11 => 3.93 ns
3000 CL11 => 3.67 ns
So as a matter of fact, all kits tested in this review, except for the ADATA ones, have shorter latencies than your own set. Reply
Gigaplex - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkYou missed the part where they asked for low latency 1600 and you quoted a 1600 at CL6 without saying where it's from. Like they said, most 1600 kits come at around CL9 which is around 5.63ns. This matters somewhat when Intel CPUs such as the i7 4770K are rated at 1600, any higher and you're running out of spec. Reply
ShieTar - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkNot sure how I "missed" that, it doesn't say anything about a 1600 kit at CL9 in the question :
" I only ever see CL9 (and up) kits in reviews "
Well, most kits in reviews and announced sales are probably not 1600 at this point in time. In the review above you see 5 kits at 2400+, with only a single 1600 kit thrown in for completeness. So I assumed that the original poster was expecting DDR3 2400 to also come with CL7. Sorry if that assumption was incorrect.
The quoted CL6 kits are "OCZ Reaper HPC Edition" (OCZ3RPR1600C6LV4GK) and "Super Talent Chrome Series" (WB160UX6G6). I think both are actually discontinued, because you can buy a 2400 CL9 set and just run it at 1600 CL6. As shown above, you could even buy a 2400 CL10 set and get a little lucky and still run it at 1600 CL6 (same latency as the tested 1866 CL7)
So sure, DDR3 1600 kits are rarely sold with very low latencies today, that's because low-latency kits are validated and sold at higher frequencies. This does not matter very much, since all kits come with a JEDEC setting to run 1600 initially, and everybody who knows he needs better latencies can lower them by hand to the actual achievable latency. Kits sold as 1600 are really mainly for people looking for cheap memory. Which is fine, as most reviews show little to no relevant gain from faster memory for most tasks anyways. Reply
chekk42 - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkNo, I wasn't expecting 2400 to come in CL7, but thanks for the assistance. My point is really that kits which qualify as low latency like many of those in your list, seem to be in very short supply and/or very expensive today. I don't think this was the case a couple years ago when there was higher availability. Reply
Gen-An - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkThe ICs that could run at those latencies comfortably have long since been discontinued. They were mostly 1Gbit chips (128MB) made by Elpida and Powerchips, so the biggest sticks you could get out of them were 2GB. Most memory these days are 4GB and 8GB sticks and the ICs used can't run low latencies at speeds of 1600. Reply
djscrew - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkRAM reviews seem more and more pointless by the day. Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkHonestly I thought that for a long time, too. But Ian's work is extremely technical and thorough, and once you get into the intricacies of it, there's a lot to learn. I've been spending a lot of time delving into the effects of high speed memory and while 90% of the time it's not important, those weird 10% corner cases can be very compelling.
Playing around with memory can be very interesting in general, and a lot of users swear by high speed memory because it just *seems* smoother. Every build and every system is essentially a game of moving bottlenecks around, and there's some value in being able to take memory speed out of that equation. Reply
mfenn - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkAnd yet the charts show that there is no difference for most use cases. Good data is a great thing to have. However, you shouldn't throw that data out the window and make conclusions based on emotions like you've done in your second paragraph. (Ian is just as guilty of this, so you're in good company.) Reply
Gen-An - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkI don't know why people just don't accept that there is a market for high speed RAM kits that often has very little to do with 24/7 "real world" usage and move on if it doesn't interest them. Reply
Ewram - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkI would have liked an AMD example on IGP performance as well, but oh well... Reply
Ewram - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkForgot to finish my post with: Great review anyway! Reply
johnnyfoxes - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkThis seems like a pretty good option. I've been a custom builder for the last years and I have always thought that it's really painful to keep track of all the different components. I've tried a couple of different solutions like Evernote, but started using a new startup called Unioncy the other day. Found it quite helpful since they track warranties for you. Might be worth a try if you are building a lot like me. Reply
Hairs_ - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkWhile this review is technically interesting up to a point, it reinforces a view I've had of the tech press for a while now: there is far too much attention on high end halo products which have norelevance to most buyers. In this case, it appears we're embarking on a review of massively expensive options for ram when the existing tests show absolutely no performance difference whatsoever between these high priced kits and ddr3 1333 ones. Triple the price for an extra 1fps? Recommended!
Any idiot spending hundreds of dollars on ram can afford to replace what he doesn't like. Where are the reviews of budget motherboards, ram kits, processors? The only people who really need to know what the latest $700 processor running on a $400 motherboard with $200 of ram and a $600 graphics card can do can afford to replace what they think isn't good enough and are probably upgrading every 6 months anyway.
You know who *needs* reviews? The guy replacing a $5-600 build from 3 or 4 years ago with the same price, and is faced with hundreds of choices. He can't afford to buy the wrong part and the parts he's choosing from are far more superficially varied and difficult to evaluate.
Needless to say, if you want to find out if $500 card x is significantly faster than $500 card y from 6 months ago, a hundred sites will tell you. Comparing a $100 processor? nope.
The graphs in this article and the last one tell us all we need to know about high end memory: it makes no difference. Please move on! Reply
jabber - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkIndeed, or for those of us that found girls, moved out, got older, changed hobbies, just realised that running benchmarks all day is a waste of life or found that actually the world doesn't end if you don't upgrade your PC every 6-12 months.
There is a need for some sites that analyse how the current $60-$200 GPUs compare with those of 5 years ago, same for CPUs etc. Big market for that kind of info but unfortunately all we get is "this sites for enthusiasts noob!" well thanks but I'm still an enthusiast but now I have a mortgage or I'm only earning half what I was 5 years ago.
The info I get from Anandtech I can get anywhere...... Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkIn the conclusion you should add one bar to one of your charts... a bar where the RAM is at 1600 but the cpu is clocked just 100MHz higher, to really highlight how little impact memory speeds have on performance compared to even a tiny cpu clock speed boost. Reply
jabber - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkBuy whatever matches best with your motherboard and GPU colour scheme I say. Reply
ShieTar - Wednesday, November 20, 2013 - linkOf course. And never overclock your memory when there is a full moon. Reply
D1RTYD1Z619 - Tuesday, November 26, 2013 - linkor if you have pickles in your fridge. Reply
rmh26 - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkIan can you give a little more information about the size of your CPU computer benchmarks specifically the grid size on the finite difference problems. In my experience memory bandwidth plays a large role in the speed of the computation. There are many HPC applications that have memory as the bottleneck and I'm wondering if your problem size is small enough that it is being efficiently handled by the cache and the ram speed isn't making much of an influence. In know in my own CFD code going from 1600 to 1866 showed an almost linear speed up. Reply
UltraWide - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkDid you have a chance to remove the heat-spreaders to see which ICs are in these? I am assuming Hynix MFR? Reply
Gen-An - Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - linkHynix DFR actually. 2Gbit ICs (256MB each) so the same size as CFR but with nowhere near the overclockability. Reply

I recently discovered a new secret weapon in the kitchen. It's a spicy red sauce that comes from Southeast Asia.
Sound like Sriracha? Guess again.
Here's my secret: Gochujang, or Korean chili paste. This sweet-spicy alternative might as well be Sriracha's sophisticated cousin. And of course, it's arriving fashionably late.
If you've enjoyed Korean food before, you'll recognize Gochujang's flavor from popular dishes like bibimbap or bulgogi. Gochu means chili in Korean, which gives away its primary ingredient. The secret formula is pretty basic: fermented soybean paste mixed with red chili, salt and sugar. Think sweet miso, with a spicy kick and a flavorful punch.
Since I started cooking with gochujang, it's been hard to stop. It's the critical ingredient in this finger-licking fried chicken wings, powers these irresistible Bulgogi (Beef) Tacos and is the secret behind Spicy Pork Belly Barbecue. And the best news is, it's not too hard to find, whether you drop into the local Asian grocery store or find it on Amazon.
With this secret weapon in the pantry, you'll soon be cooking in true Gangnam–style. And you better believe PSY was blasting in the kitchen when I made these caramelized green beans last week. In three simple steps with just three ingredients, crunchy green beans turned into a sweet-spicy dream!
Caramelized Green Beans with Gochujang
Serves 2 people
1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon Gochujang Korean Chili Paste
½ pound green beans
While most recipes call for the famously petite haricots verts, you can use meaty, older green beans here. They'll become tender and flavorful, and hold up better than the little ones in this recipe.
Trim and wash the green beans, then pat them dry. Any extra moisture will make the sesame oil sputter and crack when you cook.
Add the sesame oil to a frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. After the oil heats for thirty seconds, add the beans. Let them sizzle and brown on one size before stirring them, about 3 – 5 minutes. Using tongs, turn the beans over, and then cover the pan with a lid and turn the heat down to medium. After 5 minutes, stir the beans again and leave the lid off. Their skins will turn brown and caramelize, and you'll see them wilt.
When the beans are thoroughly cooked, add the chili paste. Add a tablespoon or two of water to help the paste melt across the beans, stirring thoroughly. When the water has cooked off and the paste coats the caramelized beans, they are ready to serve!
Tip: Garnish with a few toasted sesame seeds or sliced scallions.

Auburn, Ala. - Auburn's Town Creek Park now offers additional play equipment for its youngest citizens to enjoy. A new climbing wall and bumble bee spring rider have been installed alongside the new playset provided by Weston Solutions in the summer of 2012.
The newest play equipment was purchased using private donations and provides an excellent alternative for citizens while Hickory Dickory Park remains closed due to blasting for a new sewer line. A number of Auburn parks feature playground equipment, including Felton Little Park, Sam Harris Park, Martin Luther King Park, and Duck Samford Park. All City parks are open for public use from sunrise to sunset daily.
Auburn citizens are reminded that Hickory Dickory Park remains closed to the public as crews complete blasting work associated with the installation of a new sewer line. In order to ensure the safety of park patrons, citizens will not be permitted to enter park grounds until work in the area has been completed. Auburn Parks and Recreation apologizes for the inconvenience and appreciates its citizens' understanding during this closure.
For more information, visit www.auburnalabama.org/parks or contact Auburn Parks and Recreation at 501-2930.

"I was lost a long time, without knowing it. Without the Faith, one is free, and that is a pleasant feeling at first. There are no questions of conscience, no constraints, except the constraints of custom, convention and the law, and these are flexible enough for most purposes. One is free in a desert. There is nothing to build on but the small rock of one's own pride, and this is a nothing, based on nothing." Morris West, The Devil's Advocate
The Banks must be restrained, and the financial system reformed, with balance restored to the economy, before there can be any sustainable recovery.
"In the Incarnation the whole human race recovers the dignity of the image of God. Thereafter, any attack even on the least of men is an attack on Christ, who took on the form of man, and in his own Person restored the image of God in all. Through our relationship with the Incarnation, we recover our true humanity, and at the same time are delivered from that perverse individualism which is the consequence of sin, and recover our solidarity with all mankind." Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"A credibility trap is when the managerial functions of a society have been sufficiently compromised by corruption so that the leadership cannot reform, or even honestly address, the problems of that system without implicating a broad swath of the powerful, including themselves.
The moneyed interests and their aspirants tolerate the corruption because they have profited from it, and would like to continue to do so. Discipline is maintained by various forms of soft financial rewards and career and social coercion."

Milton J. Rosenberg (born April 15, 1925[1]) is a prominent social psychologist who was professor of psychology at the University of Chicago and is the host of a long-running radio program in Chicago, Illinois.
Rosenberg, born in New York City, attended Brooklyn College (BA, 1946), the University of Wisconsin (MA, 1948), and the University of Michigan (PhD, 1953). He began his teaching career as an Instructor in Psychology at the University of Michigan (1952–54).[2]
Rosenberg is a professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Chicago, where he served as the director of the doctoral program in Social and Organizational Psychology. Prior to coming to Chicago in the mid 1960s, he taught at Yale (1954–61), Ohio State University (1961–63), and Dartmouth College (1963–65). For a brief period Rosenberg served on the staff of the Naval War College, and he has lectured at various other universities both in the United States and abroad.
Rosenberg has written many articles in professional journals and political magazines. He also wrote, coauthored, or edited a number of books, including: Attitude Organization and Change; Theories of Cognitive Consistency; Domestic Sources of Foreign Policy; Beyond Conflict and Containment: Critical Studies of Military and Foreign Policy; and Vietnam and the Silent Majority. One of his areas of study was cognitive dissonance and attitude change, on which he worked closely with Robert P. Abelson, among others.
Rosenberg was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2008 by President George W. Bush, "for bringing the world of ideas to millions of listeners."[3]
Radio Show Edit
Since 1973, under the name Milt Rosenberg, he has been host of WGN Radio's "Extension 720", a two-hour discussion show with one hour reserved for call-ins. The program, which airs Sunday through Thursday (originally Monday through Friday) from 10 to 12 p.m. (an hour later than formerly), deals with topics ranging from politics to financial investment to entertainment to religion to foreign policy to literature, and, as Milt says, "just about everything except pop psychology and poodle-trimming."
Calling upon journalists, academics, corporate types and just about any and every profession, Extension 720 provides highly varied nightly shows. Some of the programs heard during 2004 were: Is War Dead?, The Iran Enigma, Crazy Horse and the Wars of the Plains, The Rise and Fall of Communism, The Changing Face of Chicago, The Films of Francis Ford Coppola, Stem Cell Research, A Night at the Opera, Bush's War Cabinet, Shakespeare's Tragedies, The Undergraduate Life, Avoiding Con Artists, Nanotechnology, The Language of the Presidency, Great Gospel Music, Contemporary Russia and The Origin and Descent of Man.

Rabbit Island 2014 Residency Exhibition
Sunday, September 28, 3pm, Great Lakes Rooms in the University Center
In collaboration with the UNITED conference at NMU, a panel discussion among the 2014 Rabbit Island residents and residency co-founders Rob Gorski and Andrew Ranville.
Closing Reception: Sunday, September 28, 5pm, DeVos Art Museum
The Rabbit Island Residency, located on a remote island in Lake Superior, unofficially launched in 2010. This exhibition highlights the work of six artists and writers selected for official, supported, residencies in summer 2014. Featuring previous and new works by Nich Hance McElroy (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada); Elvia Wilk (Berlin, Germany); and the collaborative group, Waboozaki: Dr. Dylan Miner (Métis, East Lansing, Michigan), Dr. Julie Nagam (Anishinaabekwe-Métis, Toronto, Ontario, Canada), Dr. Nicholas Brown (Iowa City, Iowa), and Suzanne Morrissette (Cree-Métis, Toronto, Ontario, Canada).
Each artist plans to spend between two and four weeks on the island. Writer Elvia Wilk will explore themes of isolation, connection and the relationship between physical and virtual space through text-based works including essays and poems. The exhibition will present a series of poems written by Wilk displayed as posters in collaboration with designer Edwin Carter. Photographer Nich Hance McElroy will document the movements and migrations of people, nature and objects on and between the mainland and island. Waboozaki will work independently and collaboratively researching the Indigenous history of the island and surrounding area through ideas of borders, placemaking and mapping.
A full color, fully illustrated catalogue will be available in September with essays by the artists and designed by Edwin Carter. This exhibition is supported in part by an award from the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts. Support also provided by the NMU Department of English and the NMU Center for Native American Studies.

Reducing engine oil usage in aircraft is a major concern to the aeronautics industry. Although aircraft gas turbines have evolved tremendously in recent years, the lubrication systems have remained largely unchanged. Lubricants are used in aero-engines to reduce friction and wear as well as for cooling and sealing. To meet needs such as a lower oil usage, while keeping reliability and reduced mass, novel technologies are needed. A new Pump And Separation System integrates three critical functions of the aero-engine into a single system. They're the de-oiling and deaeration of the oil-air mixture produced in the engine bearing and the gearbox sumps because well as oil pumping right back toward the oil tank. De-oiling helps remove tiny oil droplets from the atmosphere flow. Poor de-oiling performance implies high engine oil consumption that limits flight stamina and increases oil tank fat and size as well as aircraft emissions. The deaeration function of the scavenge oil removes air bubbles from the oil-atmosphere mixture coming back to the tank. Bad deaeration efficiency raises problems with cooling and lubrication of the engine roller bearings. Undertaking partners have additionally successfully created and tested a method that's based on radioactive traces to measure an extremely tiny motor oil consumption. A newly created atmosphere blower positioned at the pump system socket guarantees sealing of the engine bearing chambers and efficient air suction through the whole atmosphere-oil separation system. Usage of the pump system will substantially simplify the aero-engine lubrication system. The reduction in number of elements will lead to a much lighter and more dependable engine oil system. The innovation could also result in much more efficient aero-engines that eat less oil and gas – a boon for the aeronautics industry and the environment.

Herman, born January of 2007, is a happy boy who frequently wears an adorable smile. His desire to learn new things serves him well in preschool where he is soaking up all that is offered. Herman is happiest playing rough and tumble outside or riding his bike or scooter.
Kengie, Kengie, and Herman would benefit from an active, outgoing, loving family who will encourage them to continue to do well in school and who will involve them in extracurricular activities so they can continue to broaden their horizons.
Kengie and Herman are currently on a HOLD. The agency is still recruiting for Kengie.


text: Ahmed Saleh Mohamed 122 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 Hi All, I'm Egyptian and currently working in Austria under a work permit which is restricted for 4 months, which is the length of the contract, if they are happy with me they will prolong it. I have just started the job 3 weeks ago, and was doing good some kind of electronic circuit design and embedded software. The direct manager was happy, and told me wow so fast for some task, and some very good words. I had meeting with the ceo two days ago, and he told my how do you like the work ? I told him its good, I like the manager, the enviroment,..etc. Then he said you have to push your self more, you are just working by 70-80% percentage, I was shocked, and very sad by these words, he said also I know that you have a lot of knowledge, I also asked the direct manager to give you lots of work packages!!! I'm really sad and that would affect my living in Austria and dont want to come back to Egypt ; ( 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SUGAR LAND, Texas -
Sugar Land's Savannah Berry wowed the judges and had three of them vying for a chance to coach her to victory at the end of the season.
During the show, nearly 100 of Berry's family, closest friends, and supporters packed the Bee's Creek Grill in Missouri City to cheer her on with a watch party.
The group included her proud mother Shelly, who says she knew Berry was meant for the big time when she sang in front of her elementary school when she was in kindergarten.
"It's amazing," said Shelly. "We're so thankful for all the friends and family that come out to support Savannah over the years who have always been here."
Berry had no problems performing on a national stage. She's been singing live in the Houston area and across the state at churches, rodeos, sporting events and clubs for almost 10 years now.
Berry wasn't at her watch party last night because she in Los Angles, but the crowd called her twice and gave her a group "Hello" over her mother's cell phone.
In the end, Berry chose Team Blake. You may recall Danielle Bradbery of Cypress made the same choice last week when she also impressed three of the judges. The young ladies know each and say they are friends.

A new rewards scheme aimed at encouraging people to shop locally could be coming to Otley.
Phlok, which launched in Ilkley last year, uses a social digital media network and awards virtual currency to shoppers.
The initiative has now also been adopted by Boroughbridge, Wetherby and Skipton, along with four towns in North Yorkshire.
Rachelle Atkin of Otley-based business The Dandelion Consultancy is keen for Otley to get involved too – and helping arrange a meeting for traders in the town to find out more on Thursday, March 20.
She said: "Otley is currently being surrounded by towns joining the Phlok network.
"Through my involvement with the Otley Business Improvement District (BID) I feel passionate about improving Otley through the services and benefits we offer to both our residents and visitors alike. If we do not give this serious consideration we could miss out on local Phlok members not visiting our town because they cannot collect or redeem their points here.
"I do a lot of business in Ilkley and have begun to collect points whilst visiting the independent shops there, but unfortunately I cannot collect more points or redeem them in my hometown.
"It is for this reason that I am helping Phlok organise a meeting for all Otley businesses on Thursday, March 20 at 5.30pm at The Horse and Farrier pub on Bridge Street."
The event will include a short presentation by Phlok's chief executive, Paul Graham.
Mr Graham added: "We are immensely proud of what the company has achieved so far and believe that Phlok will encourage a revival in local shopping.
"Our overall aim is to get local customers to transact more often with local businesses and support a growing, vibrant community."
About 600 businesses in 45 towns and villages across the UK and Ireland have now connected to the network.
l Otley Chamber of Trade launched its own Otley Loyalty Card Scheme in 2012.

"I'm a glutton for Gluten Free."-Debbie McFarlane
Debbie McFarlane, one of the friendliest and brightest of our great store employees, is this month's employee's choice candidate and has chosen as her favorite bakery item our Gluten Free Vanilla Cupcakes.
Debbie, being gluten intolerant, chooses our gluten free options when she's shopping the bakery. "I feel like I'm always searching for places that will even make wheat free options and here I get to walk by the wheat free case every morning and be one of the first to look at all the tasty treats made just for me!"
When asked why this was her choice Debbie answered, "It tastes like a real cupcake! Like a traditional wheat based cupcake. I love the light lemon frosting and it tastes great when they top it with blueberries (or your own favorite fruit!). It's one of my many wheat free favorites here."
Our gluten free vanilla cupcakes can be found in the wheat free case in our Whole Grain store where you can see Debbie's smiling face daily. Come on in and give 'em a try!
Gluten-Free Vanilla Cupcakes
1 package (19 oz.) Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake Mix
3 eggs
½ cup oil
½ cup water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
Place mix in a bowl.
Add eggs, oil and water all at once and use a whisk or spatula to mix until it is all incorporated and smooth.
Scoop batter into pan, filling liners about halfway full. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, turning once.
Remove from oven and allow to cool. Frost with vanilla buttercream and enjoy!
Vanilla Buttercream
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 to 2 tablespoons of milk
Cream butter in mixer.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and mix until incorporated.
If the buttercream is too stiff, add milk as needed until it is smooth and pliable.

I have a question and would like some opinions, I went to Drs with my girlfriend in a local surgery and I noticed one of the desks they had a Wireless modem / router. I did a quick scan for WLAN on my mobile to find 2 WEP networks in the surgery. One the Drs and the other was the Chemist next door. I did notice that it looked like a WLAN and LAN light was flashing in use.
I am pretty much self taught Linux, few Microsoft Certs. Morally I want to tell them that there modem / pcs may not be secure - I personally worry especially medical records.
I have got no intentions to 'hack' anything to prove a point.
I know there are so many WEP protected company's but has anyone approached a company about that and if so how ?
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Personally I'd be very wary about telling anyone their network was insecure unless they had asked for my opinion on the matter. At the very least you may end up needing to explain why you were poking around in the first place, and if the network ever does get broken into you can bet that they will remember what you said and consider you the first suspect.
I don't think you have a moral duty to say anything under these circumstances, seeing as you don't manage and didn't setup the network, and if you are worried about the security of your own information, which is reasonable, I'd start seeing another Doctor.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
Thanks for your feedback Streaker69 and Lupin. In all honestly I think I wont be doing anything but it does make you wonder I would have thought drs surgerys would have a best policy in a perfect world.
Has anyone actually aproached a company before ? eg WEP and what happened I am curious. I can understand why people would be hesitant to help somehow it will come back and bite them as Lupin said.
Do you feel morally obligated to inform them? Or do you see a potential client who you can $uggest your opinions to?
To answer your question, no. If they are not a client or friend, then I have no business in trying to make myself look good, or earn their business through scare tactics as mentioned.
While it would be nice to help out people who may simply be unaware of the security risk, the effort doesn't outweigh the potential consequences for me.
I dont see $$$ as I dont have proper certificates and dont like scaring people although am going to start my CCNA soon. I have no connections to the surgery or any employees it was more a moral question with it being a medical business if it was a corner fruit & Veg store I wouldnt think twice. (Sorry if any one owns / works Fruit and Veg store )
It was more of a "why do you even care?" that I was trying to get at (moral or personal gain).
My opinion is hit the books and worry about more important things. It's good to be aware of these things, it's another to act on them. Maybe someone else will add something. Good luck on your CCNA.
Others here have traveled this road before and can tell you some stories about these things that may help you in your decision making.
You should read my post on advising companies of WEP vulnerabilities in an effort to introduce myself to local businesses.
It will give you some insight into how people perceive those telling them of WEP problems and it may get you ready for how you will be treated.
Good luck.
"Update: I do have an idea for you. Contact your local Chamber of Commerce, see if you can meet with the person there that organizes their meetings with other companies. See if you can maybe have a little seminar with local business owners that demonstrate what you're talking about. Business owners are going to be more open to hearing it in that kind of setting than a cold call at their office.
I know where I am I can get Police clearance which states that i have no criminal background etc which would give good confidence to business's
In the end does seem to be more trouble than it is worth.
Time to hit the books.
hi man, don't even think so about it ,man if you said to them that they have a problem in thier wep then any thing will happen to their router they will say it is you , finnally it's up to you but for me never because i have done such a thing and seen the.....

SWINDON Town showed an interest in bringing experienced defender Nicky Shorey to the County Ground before he signed a new deal with Portsmouth yesterday, the Advertiser understands.
Following the release of Jay McEveley at the end of last season Town are likely to recruit a new left back this summer, with a move for former Reading and Aston Villa man Shorey discussed, but any potential deal did not significantly progress before the ex-England international agreed to stay at Fratton Park for another year.
Elsewhere, former Town loanee Alex Pritchard has been linked with Wigan.

We enjoyed the welcoming staff at reception, the room was very comfortable. The staff in the bar, coffee shop and restaurant were all very pleasant. We also left an item of clothing behind and the staff were very helpful finding and returning same
Helpfulness and friendliness of hotel staff and good selection of foods at breakfast.
Closeness to all city facilities. nothing
Look and style. The ambience. Location is terrific. Mini bar pricing was not competitive. > Pillows were not comfortable. > Handle on televsion cabinets were broken > The smell of the bathroom towels were not pleasant. They were clean but the laundry powder used was not fragrantly appealing > Bar staff on the night were not managing the waiting patrons effectively
Easy check in, quiet location
Good location. The breakfast is too expensive.
It is a very comfortable place to stay. We couldn't use the hotel on the Saturday night as it was booked out with functions. On the Sunday night nothing was open and the riverside bar had a function. We still have our free drink and food vouchers as they couldn't be used.
Every time I stay at the Stamford Plaza Brisbane I always leave feeling like the staff have gone above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. When you require a twin room it would be nice to have something bigger than a king single bed. Even a double bed would be a better option.
a classy yet relaxed hotel. breakfast was excellent but was only worth buting when we got the discount vouchers as it was rather expensive otherwise.
Closeness to all city facilities. nothing
Attentive staff, and a delightful location for breakfast, in particular (The Brasserie). The quality of the breakfast was also very good. Rooms just a little clastrophobic. And it would be nice to be able to open a window rather than rely on airconditioning. A balcony would be even better! However, I note a male person "fell" from the balcony of an adjacent hotel on the evening (or there abouts) we visited!
Kabuki Restaurant Had lunch at the courtyard restaurant and thought the service poor and the prices high.
Close to the function we where attandind Hotel needs a face lift
Look and style. The ambience. Location is terrific. Mini bar pricing was not competitive. > Pillows were not comfortable. > Handle on televsion cabinets were broken > The smell of the bathroom towels were not pleasant. They were clean but the laundry powder used was not fragrantly appealing > Bar staff on the night were not managing the waiting patrons effectively
We loved being right in the heart of Brisbane, and having the casino for entertainment was great Loved the deep bath
helpfulness of reception staff Noise - we were in room 117 and it was very noisy between a function in the atrium and a bar behind it. Lack of a plan to show us where facilities were.
It was great to be so close to all facilities that were of interest to almost every type of person for e.g. gamberling,dining,clubs and pubs or just driving around exploring sites of interest. Not knowing where we were going we missed the valet parking "twice"because we couldn't see any signage so just went to the public car park but is was just as good I believe anyway as our parking was validated. Thanks guys!
Pleasant location with an old world feel A bit expensive
Classy hotel,excellent large rooms & great position.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Excellent location and presentation of the hotel. On site parking, dining and in the Brisbane CBD.
The staff were amazing, the rooms huge, everything extremely clean, great layout that easily fit us and our three small children in.
Spacious suite with good quality fittings (no chipboard). One of the best hotel showers I have ever experienced
the staff the location and the hotel was fantastic ,staff were very friendly and helpful ,food was excellent 5 stars i would recommend this hotel to anyone cant wait to return.
Hotel front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. When I had a problem with the washing machine, they washed the laundry for me.
The location was great, the staff was excellent, the rooms were large and comfortable. Lobby and restaurant were tastefully decorated. Carpet was worn and threadbare in places in the room.
Everything was perfect. Lovely staff. Lovely rooms. The room was great value but everything else was very expensive.
Location very good. Rooms excellent. Good pool. Bar staff rude when complained to reception about attitude, unsatisfactorily resolved.
the whole place was fantasticthe staff couldnt do enough to help us we will be going back again the stay wasnt long enough
I liked the bed, and bed linen. The actual room was lovely and the hotel itself was impressive. I was very disappointed with the state of the pool. They should have closed it as the area was under construction. Instead they kept it open and it wasn't heated so you couldn't swim in it anyway. Plus there was construction grit all around the pool which you could feel when you walked around it. I purposely chose the Marriot for the pool as we were planning on using it with our 3 year old son as a great place for entertaining him. Upon check out too, one of the staff on reception tried to charge us for breakfast though it was included in our booking. She then didn't believe us and we had to produce the email that we'd received from bookings.com. The impression she gave us was that she was reluctant to accept even this as proof!
Everything was excellent, great river view, good room service
We loved the restaurant and the proximity to the city shops and cinemas was very convenient.
Very upmarket hotel upgraded to the executive floor everything available
Everything was perfect. Lovely staff. Lovely rooms. The room was great value but everything else was very expensive.
close and conveinient to city, luxruy and relaxing enviroment with excelent frsteraunts and staff
Excellent hotel, well placed in Brisbane city centre.
Bathroom needs updating. The bathroom title are broken and worn. I paid for 5 star. That doesn't meet my 5 star standard
Location very good. Rooms excellent. Good pool. Bar staff rude when complained to reception about attitude, unsatisfactorily resolved.
Very friendly staff and great facilities, good proximity to brisbane attractions (few though there are)
the room was spacious with nice view of stony bridge, lighting up whole night. Enjoyed very much of the river view Swimming pool was locked in the morning. I had to go to reception every morning for a week to open the door. Someone from the hotel tried to charge 16,000 $ on my credit card and I had to deal with my credit company. International phone call to my credit company for 10 minite costed me about 150 AUD. No one apologised from the hotel until I demanded it.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean, comfortable and serviced daily. The location was terrific - very close to everything we wanted to do. The only thing I would have liked was a separate shower, although it would not stop me from booking again.
convenience of the city, comfort of the hotel & service after hours room service, not friendly and didnt care we could not get what was on the menu, as they wer "busy"
The suite was conveniently set out and comfortable and very clean and close to everything in Brisbane
Excellent None
The location was central. The bed sheets and bed were very comfortable. The television was too small and there was no in-room safe.
Staff were uniformly really friendly and helpful - upgraded us following a cancelled flight. Breakfast great - omelettes to order. Beds and rooms comfy and clean with nice extras. Spas on 18 floor fabulous and hard to leave.
position,breakfast. doona to hot, would like a top sheet
Excellent, efficent, helpful staff

position,breakfast. doona to hot, would like a top sheet
I liked the relaxation Food was expensive
Foxtel on the TV, the bed was comfortable. The internet connection fee is a rip off, to be charged for internet connection when you're not in your room working is appalling. Why can't the hotel charge when in use only? I am aware it's outsourced by an IT consultancy but nevertheless I'm sure the Holiday Inn make money on it. The other point is if i knew there was a rail station right on the hotel I would not have chosen the hotel. Found it difficult to sleep as a result.
The convenient location
Centrally located in the heart of Brisbane CBD. Public transport and other travel facilities at the front door. Hotel across the road had cheap good quality food. Very few 'modern' facilities. Parking as a guest is a rort paying an extra $28 overnight.
the central location was excellent for a city break - the hotel was very quiet and the room was a good size.
proximity to suncorp stadium. Rate was cheap given it was origin night.
We were welcomed by a nice and pleasant receptionsit, the room was large and in good condition. There was a bit of noise from the railway station so next time I will specifiy a room on the road side.
Spacious living room and mini kitchen. Combo washer drier has too complicated.
It central position..great for staying in Brisbane Mold and rust in bathroom
The convienent location, the friendly helpful staff and excellent facilities
Location was very convenient for shops and transport (airport train outside your door), and I liked the old building, much more pleasant than a modern hotel.
Antique furniture The DVD player and stereo supplied in each room looked out of place and the TV remote was hard to work
The hotel is very well maintained and clean. The view into Anzac Square was very pleasant and it is very well positioned in the CBD making it easy to walk to places of interest. Rates and location big draw card for us. Nothing it is a good place to stay.
It central position..great for staying in Brisbane Mold and rust in bathroom
It was close to the City you could walk everywhere.Very Freindly kind staff. Lovely room. Close to all public Transport. The parking bay out the front of the Hotel not really big enough, we had trouble pulling in there due to other vehicles being in there all the time
bed was comfortable - can't recommend much else rate was disproportionate to quality of facilities - is a tired hotel (stained carpets, rusty fittings etc.) with mediocre facilities demanding premium rates.
Location was excellent - just opposite Central Rlwy station and easy access from airport via airtrain. The staff moved us to another suite when our aircon broke down - and did it really well. Easy walk to shops and Queen St mall. Restaurant breakfast and room disappointing for the price.
Spacious living room and mini kitchen. Combo washer drier has too complicated.
Ideal location - just across the road from station. easy access to city centre- shops bars etc.
Valet Parking, easy to find, great location, the bed sheets and bed was very comfortable. No
Location-Location-Location: this was a fantastic place for ease of accessing CBD Brisbane as well as transportation. Easy walk to great restaurants and shops, too.
convenience for getting around city asked for king bed and did not get it
Staff , very helpful , especially conceirage and reception. dining , transportation services The cost is slightly higher compare to other hotels.
Location-Location-Location: this was a fantastic place for ease of accessing CBD Brisbane as well as transportation. Easy walk to great restaurants and shops, too.
Convenient location, easy to find, comfortable bed. Kind and competent staff, especially as they could not find my reservation. Small window, small bathroom with curtain for the shower
i can say the location of the hotel is excellent for city tourists, with convenient transportation, close to everything.
Location was great - very close to city, restaurants and transport options. Chose this hotel for its pool which upon arrival was found to be closed for renovations. Roof top bar was packed with people from a function that had finished downstairs so not a place to relax and unwind. Rooms are adequate but could do with some of the renovations that the pool is supposably having.
so convenient, comfortable, quiet, pleasant environment
cold breakfasts delivered to room
close to town. one person was friendly, the other said i cant have been staying as my booking wasnt in the system!!! even though my friend had already checked in it was in the middle of redecoration. tiny as bathroom and smal room. for what we paid newaz
Enjoyed the modern rooms and service was excellent. Nil
convenience for getting around city asked for king bed and did not get it
location inflexibility and mechanical (robots). Charges for anything which in most 4-5 start hotels are usually included eg later checkout (1hour).
The room was very clean and well fitted out. The bed was very comfortable, with comfortable pillows. The reception staff, concierge and valet parking attendants were all very friendly and very helpful. It is also located very centrally in Brisbane city. We were unable to have a twin bed room which meant my sister and I had to share a bed - not too much of a problem but would have been nice to have our own bed.
