Well located hotel that met all our needsPosted Jun 13, 2017
Pros: Location, laundry facilities, staff
Cons: Replace the sofas.
Location: There is a nice park with a playground across the street. The metro and train station are a couple blocks away. There are lots of restaurants.
Located near the Shuman Metro/Train station in the heart of the European quarter, this hotel was ideal for our family. The staff worked to get us into our room well ahead of the 2pm check in. Some of the rooms have an amazing room of Brussels. We had a bedroom with a bed and a pull out sofa in the main room. The pull out sofa was particularly uncomfortable- but worked fine for our young daughter. Some of the furnishing in the rooms are very tired and require replacing. There isn't an oven but otherwise there is everything else that you need in an apartment. The front desk is open 8am-8pm Monday-Friday. We were checking in during these times so we didn't experience the off hours check in. They made sure that we had enough towels and toilet paper to last us the weekend- as there isn't room cleaning on weekends.

Really good apartment with easy access to city.Posted May 9, 2017
Excellent apartment let down by the tired and somewhat tatty furniture. An upgrade to soft furnishings would make this 5 out if 5.

Feels like a two star hotelPosted May 7, 2017
Booked a four day stay, only to find out it doesn't have kitchenette. What's an apartment hotel without kitchenette. Do double check your bookings. We arrive in Saturday, and it was self check-in. Seems everything was a breeze, only to find out some lamps and lights was not working. Worse thing was t.v didn't work either. There was no recept on weekends.cannot get any more bad luck was that the following Mon was public holiday. Imagine stay for three days out of four with all these issues? What's a four star hotel.The only four star was the bathtub. Small basin with old wooden repainted cupboard and minimal amenities. Had to comment, the shower amenities send to be good grade stuffs. But that was all that is positive. The room we had was tiny, odd shape and had a sloppy bed which gave us backache a, and a couch which itches...don't need to elaborate. Security was good, everybody needed their card key to enter into building and lift. That I give them a thumbs up.. We left the bath towels which we used for three days into the bathtub, indicating housekeeping to change. But they just fold it and hang put back onto the rack. We could tell it was our used ones, as it was crumple,a bit damp, and my long hair strand could still be found on it. Expensive, one star hotel. We were misled by all the good reviews. Wrong choice.

Very convenient for all transport and City centrePosted Nov 22, 2016
As we went just for a short break. Very surprised with the quality of our apartment. One of the nicest and largest one bed roomed flats I have stayed in anywhere in my travels which is worldwide. Our TV which caused minor problems was dealt with promptly by the staff. Weather was a bit wet but did not stop us getting out and seeing the sights (with the appreciation of complimentary brollies ) by the staff.

Nice and convenient place to stay.Posted Nov 4, 2016
Location: Restaurants, pubs and pizzerias offer a choice to your liking. Just be aware that all are closed on Saturday and Sunday for most part of the day.
I stayed in this hotel on several occasions this year and always enjoyed my stay. Most recently I appreciated complimentary room upgrade as well as early check-in kindly arranged by very helpful staff. Hotel is located in a quiet and safe area, just a walking distance to EU headquarters. Several nice restaurants nearby. Easy (bus) transport from/ to the airport.

Prologue Edit
Din descended from the heavens to meet her sisters Nayru and Farore. Din's presence itself made the earth below her form into fertile land. She shaped the land at her will. Nayru descended next. She created boundaries between the earth, the waters, and the sky. She gave order to all of what was there. Farore descended last and she gave birth to life. As she labored, another spirit descended from the heavens, one unknown to those who would later live in this land to be called Hyrule. She was the youngest of the three sisters, she was looked down on by her sisters. She controlled the virtue of hope. She controlled the hearth. When Farore completed the birth of life the three sisters left creating a passage from the new land, Hyrule, to the Sacred Realm. This passage's physical manifestation was what is known as the Triforce. As they left, the spirit of the hearth gave hope to all of the life in the new land, Hyrule.
The spirit seeing that her sisters had left her, she followed them by using the passage to the sacred land, the Triforce. However when she used this passage, she accidently created the final piece to the Triforce. But when her sisters had seen what she had done they punished her and stripped her of her immortal powers. To avoid catastrophe the spirits broke the final piece of the Triforce into eight different pieces then spread them across Hyrule. They could not destroy the piece however as it embodied emotion in Hyrule and would leave the land without the will to go on if it were to be destroyed.
This fourth spirit was Vienna. It is unknown what has happened to her. So life continued, when the Triforce was threatened a fierce deity forged a great sword to seal the passage. Only those worthy of the name of the Hero of Hyrule may open this passage.
Chapter 1 Edit
Link woke with a start. He had another bad dream. It was foggy and he couldn't remember the dream but it had involved a man with red hair from a desert. Link got up and looked out his window. He lived in the Hyrulean Castle as he son of a Hyrulean Knight. His mother died when she was giving birth and his father died in coup against the King. His father was the most trusted assistant of the King and still stood beside him during the coup. When his father died the King of Hyrule still housed him. The King was like the father Link had never had. The King's daughter, Zelda, was also his age. They were both born on the same day. Link and Zelda are both eighteen today. Link got dressed and got ready for Zelda's coronation. The King is ill and near death. Link walked out of his room in traditional knight's armor. When he arrived at the coronation it was just about to begin. Link thought about their relationship in the past. Link and Zelda had always been good friends. When Link was thirteen however he developed a crush on Zelda. He had never told Zelda about the crush. He still had a crush on Zelda since then. But Link knew it was simply not to be. When Link had become sixteen the King appointed Link as Zelda's personal bodyguard. Link snapped out of his thoughts when the herald announced, "Your Highness, the beautiful princess of Hyrule. Zelda!" People applauded and Link joined in. Just when the applauded were dying down. A man with royal robes walked in and whispered something into Zelda's ear. Zelda's eyes grew wide and she left the room. The applauded turned into questions as the herald tried to control the crowd, Link made his way to the door Zelda had left in. When he finally had escaped the room he saw Zelda and a guard turn a corner. Link ran after them. They then entered the King's quarters, the guard that had lead Zelda to the room stood guard outside the door. Link was just about to enter the room when the guard stopped him.
"Sorry sir, the King requested that no one enter the room until Zelda exits the room." Link sighed. "I'm the princesses' body guard." Link told him. "So, Sorry sir." The guard apologized as Link opened the door and entered the room. Link saw Zelda lying beside the King's enormous bed. She was crying. The King's eyes were closed with his arms laid across his body in a restful position. Link knelt beside Zelda as she wept. Link tried to comfort her. She only cried. "Did he leave a will?" Zelda only pointed at a small chest. Link took the key beside the chest and inserted it into the chest. "Did you read it yet?" Zelda whimpered which sounded like she hadn't. Link opened the chest and looked inside only a small piece of paper was inside the chest. Link took the paper and read it out loud. "May my son become the King of Hyrule." Link puzzled over this. The King never had a son. Link turned the card around. There was nothing on the back. "Zelda..." Link said as he turned around she was gone.
Chapter 2 Edit
The Funeral service for the King took place soon after the coronation. Link walked beside Zelda and the coffin from the Hyrule Castle to the Temple of Time. It was traditional to have a King's funeral at the Temple of Time. When the King's coffin finally arrived at the pedestal that stood before the door to the Triforce. Zelda spoke first. "My father was the best father I could have ever wi...wi..wi..." Zelda began to cry again. Link knew that the tears would come, but not so soon. The ending of Zelda's speech came around. A new speaker came to the pedestal. It was the King's wife. "I received this note from my husband before his death. It reads "I now tell to you the location of the pieces of the final piece of the triforce." Murmurs went around the crowd. Hyrule had only existed for fifty years and many had tried to find the pieces to the final piece. "One is in a temple that can withstand the test of time, another is in realm so close yet so far, one in a forest in the kingdom of Hyrule, One in the very lava of a volcano in this land, Another in the land of the dead, another held by the sands of a desert, The Last piece is held by an evil man in the heart of the land."
Link thought about the note. The Queen continued to talk. "Only someone worthy enough to hold the title "Hero of Hyrule" may pull the sword and begin his search for the final piece of the Triforce. As she spoke door that held the Master Sword opened slowly behind her. Whoever dare try and go on this quest go and try and pull this sword!" A vain hyrulean guard walked up. "I shall pull this sword and save Hyrule!" He shouted. He tried in vain. Murmurs went up in the crowd. This soldier was the strongest in all of Hyrule. After awhile all the Hyrulean Soldier had tried except Link. "Link, are you going to try?" Zelda asked as the last knight tried. Link thought about this, on one hand if he didn't try he would be seen as a loser. But if he tried and failed there would be no shame. Link got up and approached the Master Sword. On the pedestal of time the inscription read. "Only one worthy of the title of "The Hero of Hyrule" may pull this sword from its pedestal. Link got up to the pedestal. He positioned his arms. He grabbed the handle and pulled. But the sword wouldn't budge! He removed his arms from the handle and walked away from the pedestal and stood in line with the others that had tried. "Tis a sad day in Hyrule." The Queen said as everyone left the temple. But Link stood there. Someone in there should've been able to pull the sword. Link approached the sword once more. He positioned his arm once again. He pulled. The sword budged, only a little. "Do you really expect to do it without hope?" an old fragile voice said. Link turned around to see Zelda's mother. "She approached Link slowly with a golden cane embedded with numerous red jewels. Her gray hair shimmered in the beautiful lighting. As she approached she spoke again. "Do you know who the fourth spirit was?" She asked in her fragile voice. "There's only three." Link stated. "Wrong!" Zelda's mother said and let it echo. "There is four, one for power..." She said as she pointed at the triforce emblem at the top of the temple. "One for courage." She pointed at the triforce piece on the right. "And one for wisdom." She pointed on the left. "That's the Triforce of courage, but in that middle where there's that space just big enough for another piece. That is where the fourth spirits triforce is." Zelda's mother turned his face to Link. "Do you know what she represents? Honor, Hope, Love." She gently stabbed Link in his chest, how can you even expect to pull the Master Sword if you don't have hope?" Link looked at the Master Sword glisten in the light on the steps in front of him. He knows he had love and honor in him, but hope he thought of him saving Hyrule. He hoped he would save Hyrule. He approache the steps, confidently. He positioned his arms. He pulled and the sword, blue handle and all, slid out of the pedestal smoothly like butter.
Chapter 3 Edit
Link stood there astounded by the beauty of the sword. It wasn't too heavy, nor to light. Not too big, not to small. Just perfect. After Link had been done looking at the Master Sword he turned to look at Zelda's Mother when he saw Zelda enter the room. Her mouth dangled open. "Link, how did you..." She was cut off by a rumbling. The walls behind Link were shifting. Link turned around. "Link this is where the first piece is hidden, deep in the mazes of this temple, this is your first trial." Zelda's mother said. Link slowly walked into the new section of the Temple. As Link walked into the new section he looked back one last time. He saw Zelda shed a tear and her mother with a small smile on her wrinkly old face. As Link pondered at what she was thinking of, the doors behind him closed slowly, he heard Zelda yell something but the rumbling of the doors covered it. Link looked in front of him. There was yet another pedestal there it read. "Those who have hope go, those who have courage go, those who have power go, those who have wisdom go." Link walked past the pedestal and looked up. There he saw an aurora. Link stood in awe of the beauty. Link slowly moved ahead with his head held up. Link heard a voice in the distance. Red eyes flashed. Link quickly looked where the red eyes where moments before. Link was now very cautious. Then Link saw the Red Eyes again. The room was pitch black so Link couldn't see his opponent but he saw the flash of a dark metal sword and easily blocked it with the Master Sword. The man with red eyes held the sword. Suddenly the room flashed pure white. It took Link a few moments for his pupils to adapt to the light. Then he saw his enemy. The man was dressed in completely black clothing. His eyes a blood red, and the skin seemed as if it was made of the darkest of all shadows. He swung again with his dark sword. The sword was stained with blood. "This is the blood of the heroes who have fallen before me." The dark character said. "Who are you?!" Link said as he engaged the man in a sword lock. "Your worst nightmare, and if you do destroy me I'll only come back more powerful than before." The man said. "You may not know me but I'm sure someone you know does. As he said this the character formed into a shadow form a Zelda. Link went wild. He slashed out of his anger. The shadow swarmed into nothing. Then a golden triangle appeared where the shadow was. Link grabbed the golden piece it was only a thin golden triangle that was smaller than his palm. Link put in his pocket. Then a door appeared near Link. Link walked up to the door and turned the knob. As he stepped through he suddenly was back in the Temple of time. The walls were back to normal and Zelda and her mother both were wearing a face of assurance. Link walked towards them. Zelda walked up to him. They said nothing, but after a moment they embraced. A grin returned to her mother's face and Zelda cried as she continued to hug him. "Do you have the piece?" Her mother asked. "If you mean by this..." Link said as he pulled out the small golden triangle from his pocket. The triangle floated away from his palm. It began to rotate in random directions and sparkle. The shimmering continued as Zelda's mother spoke. "This is the Piece of Light, there is seven more, go and find the on in the forest." Zelda's mother spoke. "Yes, your majesty." Link kneeled. "Now go." She said. Link stood up and walked away.

MRA® at a Glance.
MRA (Meridian Regulatory Acupuncture) was developed in the early 1970s, by Lupo T. Carlota, a medical doctor born in the Philippines.
This scientific mode of acupuncture is also known as MRA Therapy or simply MRA.
Carlota was one of the first to use acupuncture in the U.S. after it was publicly introduced in 1972, as a result of a presidential visit to China.
A Western-trained physician and scientist, Carlota saw first-hand the impressive results his patients experienced with acupuncture. Yet he knew there was something missing – a solid scientific explanation of how it worked and why.
With that challenge clearly in mind, Carlota soon formulated the revolutionary "Quantum Theory of Acupuncture," which he later posited in 1976 during the International Acupuncture Society convention held in Taipei, Taiwan. The pristine postulate explained for the first time the scientific basis of acupuncture.
Sweepingly coherent and unprecedented in scope, the novel theory marked a radical departure from the empirical tenets that had subserved the foundations of acupuncture over the last 5000 years. From the early start, MRA (Meridian Regulatory Acupuncture) was the application tool of Carlota's original idea. A highly advanced system of acupuncture, MRA Therapy has been embraced by physicians in the U.S. and overseas in the last 44 years.
The success of MRA as a treatment modality for severe specific pain problems and disease, including many difficult-to-treat disorders, is due to the insights, application and input of many individuals.
We salute the leading-edge physicians who have attended MRA education and training programs, and integrated MRA into their very own medical practice setting. These scientifically-minded doctors mastered the simplified skills, and effectively used it in the management of pain and disease. Their knowledge and skillfull use of MRA (Meridian Regulatory Acupuncture) has helped transform people's lives for the better.
"I commend every MRA Practicioner for exploring the facts, thinking outside the box, and using MRA as an important tool in medical practice," says Carlota.
In embracing the MRA System of Therapy, MRA Graduates quickly discovered that they could help patients they previously had to refer to other doctors and specialists. Today they get referrals when all else has failed. With positive outcomes, more patients and doctors are now looking to MRA as an early treatment alternative instead of a last resort.
Someone once said, "No matter what your accomplishments, somebody helps you. The credit for MRA's achievements in the last 46 years, and counting, belongs to all MRA Alumni, friends and supporters who have helped advance the study and practice of MRA, as a safe, effective, science-based, and medically-sound treatment against pain and disease.
5-Day MRA® Physician Training & Certification
Physicians who want to become Certified MRA Practitioners can earn Certification via two unique MRA 5-Day Physician Training Programs. The first option is a 5-Day "One-on-One MRA Training with Dr. Lupo T. Carlota in Memphis." The second option is attending a regularly scheduled 2-Day MRA Seminar, followed by the 3-Day MRA Preceptorship—in one of the choice locations listed below.
[Option 1] 5-Day MRA One-on-One Training with Dr. Carlota in Memphis
World-class training. Built around your schedule!
Excellence. Convenience. Personalized. These are the hallmarks of Dr. Carlota's MRA Physician Training & Certification Program held at the MRA Training Center in Memphis, TN, USA.
Coming to Memphis for MRA One-on-One Training & Certification has many benefits.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Not only did "Across the Pacific" add some brightness to Bogart's
rising stature as an actor, it more than justified the promise shown by
director John Huston after his success with "The Maltese Falcon."
The story begins on November 17, 1941. Lt. Rick Leland (Humphrey Bogart) is being cashiered from the Army at Governor's Island, New York The reasons are vague, but before five minutes have passed, Bogie is decked out in his familiar trenchcoat Leland tries to enlist in the Canadian army, but his disgrace is so widespread that they won't have him Wondering aloud if perhaps the Japanese will take him on, Leland buys a ticket on the 'Genoa Maru' bound for Yokohama via the Panama Canal On board the freighter, Leland meets Alberta Marlow (Mary Astor), who lies about her past, and Dr. Lorenz (Sydney Greenstreet), a sociologist with an undisguised affinity for all things Japanese
It's really not spoiling anything to reveal that Leland is engaged in counterespionage because neither Huston nor the screenwriters take the material very seriously For most of the film, they're more interested in the cutesy shipboard romance between Leland and Albertagetting seasick, drunk, sunburned
As a thriller, the film doesn't really get wound up until the third act, when it has a few fine moments, most memorably a long chase scene in a Spanish-language movie theater, and a conventional conclusion
Sydney Greenstreet was excellent as a jovial yet cunning Japanese sympathizer and Mary Astor played a doubtful role with the same mental adroitness she had displayed in "The Maltese Falcon."
Bogart, of course, carried the story line here and it was a delight to watch his enigmatic character change from one of calculated indifference to that of relentless determination...
A good spy caper starring Humphrey Bogart as Rick Leland, a court-martialled
US Army officer who finds himself in the middle of a nifty little bit of
espionage work on board a Japanese freighter bound from Halifax to Yokohama
via the Panama Canal just before the attack on Pearl Harbour. Surrounded by
a rather suspicious group of characters, from his love interest Alberta
Marlow (Mary Astor) to Dr. Lorenz (Sydney Greenstreet), Leland slowly
uncovers a Japanese plot to attack the Canal Zone (presumably also on
December 7) and sets himself to preventing it.
This was a good performance by Bogart, along with good performances from Astor and Greenstreet. (For those not entirely familiar with Canadian geography, by the way, the pun is that Alberta claims to be from Medicine Hat, which is a small city in Alberta - almost TOO cute!) There's a fair amount of tension throughout as we struggle along with Leland to figure out exactly what's going on, and a nice climax as Leland foils the Japanese plan (Bogey had to win!)
A couple of things I thought were worth noting, though. First of all, what's with the title? All the action in the movie takes place either on the Japanese freighter as it travels south down the ATLANTIC coast of North America or in the Panama Canal Zone (with some minor scenes in Halifax, where Leland is rejected by the Canadian Army, and in New York City, where he snoops for information.) The only Pacific connection to the movie is that the freighter was Japanese. And remember, of course, that this was made in 1942 (after Pearl Harbour.) The depiction of the Japanese isn't especially flattering (although I thought it was more a play on stereotypes than openly antagonistic), and the closing shot of the film is the wartime requisite showing off of American military strength.
All in all, though, I enjoyed this movie immensely, and would highly recommend it.
This film is okay -- watchable and even interesting -- but one can't
help comparing it to "The Maltese Falcon" which appeared the previous
year. Same principle actors -- Bogart, Mary Astor, Sidney Greenstreet
-- no Peter Lorre fondling the handle of his cane, alas, and no gunsel
-- and, for the most part, the same Director, John Huston. Huston was
called up for Signal Corps duty halfway through filming and as a gag
shot the scenes up to the point at which Bogart was strapped helplessly
into a chair and surrounded by armed guards, a situation seemingly
without the possibility of escape. Then Huston cheerfully said goodbye
and walked off the set, leaving his replacement, Vincent Sherman, to
try to figure out how to get Bogart free.
It may be unfair to compare "Across the Pacific" to a lucky shot like "The Maltese Falcon," but this film invites the comparison. Not just the same performers but similar lines -- "You're good, Angel, very, very good." But in Falcon the actors fit their fictional characters like enzymes accommodating themselves to a substrate. Here they are just actors playing familiar roles: the obese villain, the officer who's dishonorable discharge is faked so he can go undercover (Gary Cooper could have done as well, and in fact DID in a later movie), the innocent woman made to look bad because the enemy has imprisoned her dissolute father. The Japanese are all plain-vanilla bad guys, even the familiar young one who makes amusing wisecracks in American slang. And all the Japanese have real names like Tong, Chan, Loo, Fong, and Ahn. (To be fair, the last one is Korean, not Chinese.)
If the characters are not nearly as much fun to watch as in "The Maltese Falcon," the plot is no more than a simple war-time mystery involving secret information that the Japanese want to use to start the war by torpedoing the locks of the Panama Canal. Actually, the Japanese did develop such plans later in the war. They intended to deliver a handful of torpedo planes to the vicinity of the Canal in huge submarines, which were available. The planes were not, and the plans folded when the war ended.
In the movie, the characters move from New York to Canada, then board a Japanese steamer, back to New York, then to Panama, where they disembark. They travel from the Atlantic side of the canal to the Pacific -- but they never make it across the Pacific.
John Huston's second film reunited three of his key actors from The Maltese
Falcon(1941). This war time thriller takes place before the Japanese attack
on Pearl Harbor. Across the Pacific(1942) is about a disgraced solider who
tries to redeem himself by acting as a spy for the US government. Humphrey
Bogart plays the American spy, Rick Leland in his most cool and suave
performance. Leland's mission is to prevent the Japanese from bombing the
Panama Canal.
Sydney Greenstreet as Dr. Lorenz gives a performance that's absolutely sinister. He would have made a perfect James Bond Villain had he lived during the 1950's. Across the Pacific(1942) is an entertaining motion picture that realisticly parallels the war that was occuring in the Pacific. Mary Astor is ravishing as the mysterious Alberta. Only the majority of the movie was completed for John Huston went off to join the war effort(another filmmaker involved with the film named Vincent Sherman ended up filming the final scenes).
This serves as a nice companion piece to "The Maltese Falcon", but
DON'T compare it the masterpiece or you won't enjoy it. Also, keep in
mind, this was during the beginning of WWII (obviously), so expect your
typical "all Japanese are evil" racial stereotypes. It is upsetting to
see that films like these just heightened the US's paranoia, driving us
to send everyone of Japanese descent to internment camps.
You're going to really enjoy this film if you've seen modern Pulp adventures like the Indiana Jones trilogy or Sky Captain (though don't expect to see ANY mystical/sci-fi elements involved). This has it all: a hard-boiled hero, exotic locales, constant plot twists and turns, colorful villains, and a mysterious woman.
Bogart, as (almost) always plays the same character he always plays. but boy, does he fit in SO well into this film. Mary Astor, while not the pretty face that she was built up to be here and in "The Maltese Falcon", gives another great performance, and unlike Bogart, she was always able to give characters in a similar vein (in this case, the mysterious woman), each their own personalities. Her Alberta Marlow is not at all like "schoolgirl" Brigid O'Shaughnessey, but (at least openly) tougher, a perfect match with Bogart during their exchanges of dialogue, while remaining to be extremely ambiguous, never making sure whether or not she's an ally or a femme fatale. When all is revealed, looking back on it things made perfect sense with her character's attitude.
Sydney Greenstreet adds another great villain to his own rogues gallery. Here he's a man obsessed with Japanese culture and way of life, so much that he has become apart of and accepted by "the enemy". Victor Sen Young, who played a great shark grinned scumbag in "The Letter", does good here, looking very happy that he at least was able to speak coherently for once in a motion picture.
Huston's direction is really worth looking at, especially visually stunning during a sequence at a movie theater. Without his obvious presence and Bogart, this film would have just been another propaganda story of espionage. Sadly, when he had to leave the film for war duty, the final scenes were shot by otherwise competent (but nothing special) director Vincent Sherman. The final 15 minutes seem extremely out of place with the rest of the film, and its a shame Huston wasn't around a little bit longer to round up what could have been a quintessential piece of a feature 40's pulp movie.
Worth seeing, its a film that falls short of greatness, but man is it entertaining.
Not one of Bogart's best films, but still pretty darn entertaining. I
really love this movie and all its predictable twists and turns, its cheezey
jingoism and its racial and gender stereotyping. Even though there are
parts of this film that will probably be offensive to some of the more
delicate modern viewers, it is still a rousing tale of espionage, murder,
treason and heroism.
I have watched ATP several times, and have enjoyed it thoroughly each time, looking past its warts and bumps to the heart of a fun pulp story acted out by some of my favorite actors (Bogey, Astor and Greenstreet). The essential plot, if I remember right, is that evil Japanese baddies want to blow up the Panama canal (with Greenstreet's help of course) and Bogey has to stop them. He meets a mysterious woman on a boat while supposedly going to work for Chiang Kai Scheck in China (strange little point to make) and has all kinds of strange encounters and adventures along the way, falling in love, saving the day, and fighting those evil Japs...
By the way, the film actually does make a certain responsible choice to demonstrate that not all Japanese people are bad guys. It is sort of a week effort, but pretty surprising considering the mood in America when this film was being made.
"Across the Pacific" is a fairly well done spy movie that takes place in
last days before America's entry into World War II.
Rick Leland (Humphrey Bogart) is cashiered from the U.S. Army for stealing
funds. The events that follow involve a love interest (Mary Astor) and an
enemy agent (Sydney Greenstreet) and a trip on a passenger ship from New
York to the Panama Canal. Humphrey Bogart as an American spy is
in a role that might have been played by Sean Connery 20 years later.
The subplot of a Japanese plot to torpedo the Panama Canal and put it out of action was a case of truth being stranger than fiction with the recent revelation of Japanese submarines which carried planes designed to knock the canal out, but which were never used. "Across the Pacific" has humor, action and romance and is one of Bogart's lesser known but very good movies.
Good WW2 spy movie with the three leads and director from The Maltese
Falcon. The plot is about Humphrey Bogart getting tangled up with
baddie Sydney Greenstreet and love interest Mary Astor. Greenstreet's a
Japanese sympathizer and is trying to recruit Bogie. Good luck with
that, Gutman. Bogart is excellent playing a character he was totally at
home playing: wisecracking tough guy ladies' man. Greenstreet is
villainous as ever and perfect at it. Just as in Maltese Falcon, Mary
Astor is playing a stunning beauty that makes heads turn. Just like in
Maltese Falcon, she doesn't match the character description. Perhaps
Huston had a bit of a crush. Otherwise I don't get her being cast in
these types of parts at a time when the likes of Ingrid Bergman and
Lana Turner were around. Still, despite that element of the casting
being off, Astor does fine.
This movie has an interesting backstory. It was originally to be about a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor but when that actually happened in real life, they changed it to Panama. They never changed the title, though, despite the movie taking place nowhere near the Pacific. Then John Huston got called to serve before filming was complete so Vincent Sherman had to step in. Oddly, it seems Huston was the only one who knew how the movie was supposed to end so Sherman had to make up the final fifteen minutes or so of the movie!
Richard Macaulay had to do some fast rewrites on this John Huston-directed picture, based upon a magazine serial by Robert Carson. When dishonorably discharged Army Officer Humphrey Bogart is revealed to be a spy staking out a powerful Japanese sympathizer aboard a vessel to the Orient, the portly commander was originally supposed to be supervising the bombing of Pearl Harbor. When that occurred in real-life while the picture was in production, Macaulay hurriedly switched the locale to the Panama Canal (making the film's title irrelevant). However, even if the story structure is patchy--and Mary Astor's role as a plantation owner's daughter ultimately doesn't make much sense--"Across the Pacific" has a dryly joshing quality about it, and the end results are pleasant if unremarkable. Bogart (playing 'Rick', sometimes 'Ricky') is in jovial spirits throughout, especially when comparing gun sizes with Sydney Greenstreet (never better) or fingering Astor's back after she's acquired a sunburn; his blithe, easy performance makes the film enjoyable. Astor (ostensibly the love-interest) doesn't pour on the charm in her scenes with Bogie; she plays it rather big-sisterly with him, a seen-it-all kind of gal, and this works extremely well. The finale is a sign of the times--American fighter planes fill the skies--but even this corny touch works a little magic, despite the film's misshapen quality and sluggish beginning. **1/2 from ****
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is Humphrey Bogart the way his fans like him best--being pure Bogart
and relishing his role the way he did Sam Spade in THE MALTESE FALCON. He
has some crackling good dialogue to share with Mary Astor and Sydney
Greenstreet and director John Huston keeps things moving at a lively pace
with the usual amount of twists and turns.
Only problem is this is one of those espionage tales full of hidden identities--a bit disconcerting considering how complicated the plot is. But after awhile that doesn't matter. What counts here is the great chemistry between Bogart and Astor, Bogart and Greenstreet, Bogart and Sen Young. In short, it's Bogey doing what he does best--and Greenstreet as well--with Bogart as the tough guy whose mission is to destroy a scheme by spies to blow up the Panama Canal. All of the shipboard scenes are great fun and played for comedy as well as drama. It has plenty of suspense along the way. Sen Young is especially good in a colorful supporting role. It's slam bang entertainment all the way.
Of course, at the end, Bogey single-handedly destroys the enemy and is free to pursue the mysterious Mary Astor. At times it seems as though these are characters left over from THE MALTESE FALCON with Astor again playing a woman who just might be treacherous. The only ingredient missing among the supporting cast is Peter Lorre.
For Bogart fans, this is a must see. John Huston had to leave toward the end of the shooting to go into war service. Filming was completed by Victor Sherman who took no credit for his work.

If only they had something along the lines of say.....COMPUTERS. DOH. And come on, there is no way they could store and catalog the mounds of information that would produce, well unless they used something like say.... A COMPUTER. But they still couldnt do it, I mean seriously, they would need a warehouse the size of say a pro football stadium to store all that info. Well wait a minute, didnt the NSA just build a warehouse the size of Mt Everest? DOH Well still impossible, they would need millions of people to sit their listening and monitoring all the calls and emails, you know, the 1:1 thing. Well unless they had something like say....A COMPUTER that could automatically save and store those calls and emails for further scrutiny. Naw, it is physically impossible for them to do that until something like the computer is invented. When they invent a computer then I will be worried. ANd one last thing, why would they want to? They have no motive? I mean seriously you act like they are spying on the Pope. WHat possible reason could they have to spy on the Pope, he isnt a terrorist. DOH, they are spying on the Pope you say?

They are doing that also but if it is just legally obtained information such as most people web searches(It is in the TOS of most major companies that you give consent) that they are "keywording", I have no problem with it. I have no problem with them gathering metadata, AKA phone records. GWB did that and it was completely legal(but morally questionable). The line was crossed when they decided to ignore the Constitution and not just gather phone records, but all call, emails, and web activity(without consent). I have a problem when they violate the law and an even bigger problem when they violate the Constitution. Obama and half the government should be impeached and tried as traitors. ANyone in the government who approved of the illegal spying or knew and did nothing are guilty of treason and are the enemy. They can "keyword" this......THE NSA CAN SUCK MY LEFT NUT THOSE TRAITOROUS SCUMBAGS. AMERICA CURSES THEM. THEY ARE THE ENEMY!

If you read about the world of independent film, than you've probably already heard about the independent horror film Paranormal Activity. This movie by writer/director Oren Peli was a selection at Slamdance 2008 and won an Honorable Mention for Best Actress at Screamfest.
Continuing in the vein of "found footage" fake-documentary movies like The Blair Witch Project or Cloverfield, to quote the movie's website, Paranormal Activity is about "A young couple suspects that their house is haunted by a malevolent entity. They set up video surveillance to capture evidence of what happens at night as they sleep. Their surveillance and home videos have been edited into the 99-minute feature film." This movie is essentially a reality television version of a haunted house movie on a microbudget level.
What sets this movie apart is the minimalist approach that Peli uses to create sequences of suspense. The entire story takes place in one location, literally. There's no score or music and the effects are kept to a bare minimum. What makes the story work are the actors, who are believable in their performances if not their actions. They work with the dialogue in a naturalistic way and avoid the shrieking histrionics of Heather in The Blair Witch Project. The handheld camera work is dizzying and nausea-inducing at times but helps to create a documentary authenticity that the movie strives for. The suspense sequences and chills are done well and earned. The movie wisely keeps the malevolent spirit out of sight and relies heavily on sound and anticipation for its terror.
What may be more fascinating than the movie's story, which I found dull and boring at times, is the story of the filmmaker Oren Peli. Shooting the entire movie in a week on a $3000 camera in his own house with two unknown actors, Peli spent a year editing the film before selling the all the domestic and remake rights to Dreamworks and the international distribution rights to IM Global for near seven figures. In addition, Dreamworks has planned a bigger budgeted remake to be directed by Peli and released theatrically.Buy the Moose a cup of coffee.

Video Wills, Kate & Harry Want A National Conversation On Mental Health
Men are less likely to talk than women with 54% of women having had a conversation compared to 37% of men.
The Met Police has won an appeal against a ruling over "kettling" tactics during the G20 demonstrations in the city in 2009
Kettling sees groups of protestors/demonstrators kept within police cordons and prevented from leaving - except in small numbers. Concerns have been raised about the fact that such tactics see many people trapped within for long periods of time - potentially without water or bathroom facilities.
High Court judges had said that officers acted unlawfully during the G20 protests, using "unjustified force" but the Court of Appeal has ruled that that decision was flawed.
The police had expressed concerns that the original judgement could have an impact on their ability "to prevent disorder within protests".
Sam Walton, from Camp for Climate Action, who was there in April 2009, says he can't believe the result of the appeal.
"We've seen the video, we've read the initial judgement from the first court and we've read the police officers notebooks from the day. It's clear to us that thepolice were acting unlawfully and we can't see how the court of appeal reached this judgement."
The original ruling against the Metropolitan Police led to human rights lawyers calling for a change to "police attitudes and tactics."
The Court of Appeal ruled that the High Court decision was flawed.

I finally finished the book Three Cups of Tea and had my first book club (aka: girl talk & cocktail) meeting. We met at the book club organizers home, Tracy. She made a fun fondue with garlicky Caesar salad. The wine flowed freely, everyone seemed to have brought a bottle of their finest. We selected our next reads; Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier, Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society (our next book) by Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows and The Next Thing on My List by Jill Smolinski.
With the wine glasses full & bits of bread smothered in cheese, I was excited to start the intriguing dialogue about the book at hand. All was good…then…we learned that half of the group didn't finish the book…bubble popped. I would be lying if I didn't say I was a tad peeved that I spent the time to read every page (ok, maybe I skimmed the last 50 or so) when we only discussed it for 5 minutes and people weren't able to participate. The book was inspirational and informative, but not the easiest read ever! At least we had fondue and wine!

Court Lane Emporium Opens
June 2014 - Court Lane Emporium has recently opened at 507 Court Lane in Cambridge. The shop is on the small one way street once lined with law offices facing Circuit Court, known as Lawyer's Row Interestingly, 507 Court Lane housed the first Circuit Court in Cambridge in 1875 and now boasts a unique shopping experience owned by Debbie Jackson called Court Lane Emporium.
A love of antiques fostered by Debbie's mother's passion for antiques started the idea of Court Lane Emporium. Beginning with one consignment booth at Dark Horse Antiques and graduating to three in a matter of three years, her collection grew. Having missed the opportunity of interacting directly with customers led to the idea of opening a store of her own. Debbie understands what buyers want and that they enjoy the 'Mom and Pop store feel' with an assortment of items. An emporium was the perfect mix for Jackson's business concept.
On March 7th 2014, Court Lane Emporium opened offering a wide variety of items such as: Antiques, Vintage, Collectable, Jewelry, Furniture, Art, Glassware, Face and Body items, Lighting, Nautical, Beach, Country, and Primitive new items, as well as local artisan handmade items and Cambridge items for tourists.
With its proximity to the Maritime Museum, Choptank Lighthouse, Harriet Tubman Museum, Cambridge Yacht Club and Long Wharf, Cambridge House Bed and Breakfast and Downtown Main Street shops and restaurants, Court Lane Emporium is a great location to which you can walk or cycle. Debbie loves that "customers can hear the boat horns and the bells on the Maryland Avenue drawbridge as it is raised to let the boats pass under or watch the action from the front porch of Court Lane Emporium.
Shop hours are 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m daily, Sundays 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and closed on Wednesdays from June 1st through September 30th. For more information and fall hours go to www.facebook.com/courtlaneemporium or call 410-330-4139.

In search of a cute, festive outfit that would allow for my two Thanksgiving meals, I headed to my favorite Forever 21 to find something inexpensive to wear.
My shirt, pants, and necklace are all from Forever 21! For a semi-formal outfit, the whole thing set me back only about $55. The shoes are flats I've had for a while by Sam Edelman.
I had a great day with both sides of my family. For my first meal, my family and I went to Capital Grille, and even though they had a full turkey dinner, I had to go with my carnivore side and gyet steak! After all, I knew I was going to have the full turkey dinner later on anyway.
Wendy and I shared a pumpkin cheesecake that was AMAZING, and overall it was a really lovely and fancy meal!
After our restaurant-cooked meal, my sister and I headed over to my Mom's family to enjoy a traditional home cooked Thanksgiving dinner! It was equally as delicious, even though at this point I had a substantial food baby growing.
After a crazy couple of weeks at school, I was more than thankful to be home with my family. I got to see both sides of my family and I'm grateful I get a few more relaxing days at home before I have to head back to Tucson to finish up my second-to-last semester of college!

Chartered Accountancy Ireland, December 2009
By Ciaran McGowan, CEO, StaffBalance™
The customer who earns you the highest revenue may not be profitable. Your operational teams might be busy, but not operating to their maximum capacity. Your cost reduction initiatives may improve your balance sheet in the short term, but may also negatively impact future profitability. The problem is that you don't have the systems software to tell you factually, whether these statements hold true or not.
Ciaran McGowan, Managing Director of StaffBalance™ explains how Time- Driven Activity Based Costing – a significant enhancement to Activity Based Costing (ABC) provides powerful information to help you drive the profitability of your company.
As concerns about economic stability continue to affect business in Ireland and across the globe, corporate executives are under pressure to take a much more sophisticated look at profitability and cost management. This has brought a renewed focus on eliminating duplication and waste, reducing costs, and gaining a clearer understanding of the profitability of your people, products, customers and channels. Failure to deal with this results in loss of competitive edge and market share profitability.
Few traditional accounting and finance systems provide valuable forensic information for senior executives on how to reduce costs. Activity Based Costing (ABC) has been around for some time, but it has its limitations.
While there are recognisable benefits in using ABC – cost and profit enhancement opportunities and the facility to improve process efficiency – it can be complicated to implement particularly in multi-faceted organisations. ABC also requires a considerable commitment in terms of resources; it is not scaleable and the results can be either inaccurate or too simplistic. There has to be a better way.
Time-Driven Activity Based Costing is a simplified and proven solution to the complexity of ABC. Time-Driven Activity Based Costing differs from traditional ABC in that it takes the analysis down from the high level activity volume picture, to a forensic understanding of costs, profitability and process efficiency – right to where the information is most valuable at the individual transactional level.
The newly enhanced methodology uses simulation modelling, which allows you to examine in detail how you can optimise your resources. This system enables you to implement intelligent cost cutting and generate greater operational efficiency so that you can maximise your business potential.
Benefits of Time-Driven Activity Based Costing
A number of trends have led to the growing need for and widespread acceptance of Time-Driven Activity Based Costing cost and profitability management solutions.
This simulation model offers you a way to cut costs and it highlights inefficiencies. Time-driven Activity Based Costing gives you a factual perspective on the following areas:
- Elimination of duplication and waste
- Cost reduction
- Understanding the profitability of people, products, customers and channels
The simulation model is easy to implement and it both leverages and works alongside existing investments in people and technology. Results are immediate and return on investment is typically achieved in less than twelve months.
The other great benefit of Time-Driven ABC is that it has full trace-back capability. Feeds come from the General Ledger into the simulation model, and they can be traced back each month to ensure there are validated from the GL to the customer.
How Time-Driven Activity Based Costing works.
With the old ABC method, companies were forced to survey employees on how they spent their time – and compilation of the results – which tended to be flawed, took up a significant amount of time and resources.
Not so with Time Driven Activity Based Costing. Instead of surveying employees, the average availability of staff to complete operational activities is calculated. That means that the practical capacity of the resources available is computed as a percentage of the theoretical capacity.
The methodology
The traditional ABC model surveyed employees to find out how their work was allocated on a day by day basis. The new Time-Driven model begins by estimating the practical capacity of available resources as a percentage of the theoretical capacity. From the start, therefore, you are creating a more realistic model of the resources available.
To illustrate how it works, we use an example adapted from Robert Kaplan and Stephen Anderson of the Harvard Business School. If you were to look at the practical capacity of a customer services team, stripping out annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave, and training, you might find that the practical capacity of the team is 80% of theoretical full capacity. So if a person is theoretically available to work 40 hours per week, they are in practice available to work 32 hours per week.
A customer services department employs 28 people to do frontline work. Each employee works 8 hours per day. In theory each worker is available for 31,860 minutes per quarter. Their practical capacity is 80% of that or about 25,000 minutes per quarter per employee. This is a total of 700,000 minutes in total for the team.
|1 employee
Working week (hrs)
|1 employee
Per quarter (mins)
|Team of 28
Per quarter (mins)
|Theoretical capacity
|40 hour week
|Practical capacity
= 80%
|32 hour week
The cost of supplying the capacity is €560,000 in overhead costs. That means that the cost per minute of supplying capacity is €0.80.
Calculate the time it takes to perform one unit of activity
Having calculated the cost per time unit of supplying resources to the business's activities, the model next works out the time it takes to carry out each unit of activity. These numbers are obtained by interviewing or observing employees. No surveys required. Time Driven Activity Based Costing focuses on the length of time it takes to complete an individual task, rather than the percentage of time an employee spends doing it.
So in our example – employees spend:
- 8 minutes processing orders
- 44 minutes handling an enquiry
- 50 minutes performing a credit check.
The cost driver rate can now be calculated by multiplying the cost per minute rate of €0.80 by the number of minutes it takes to perform each task. This means that the cost-driver rate for processing orders is €6.40; handling an enquiry €35.20; and performing a credit check €40.
Once you have calculated these cost driver rates, you can assign costs in real terms to individual customer transactions as they occur. This information alone is very powerful in negotiating with customers and in the pricing of new business.
Decision making based on activity cost
Time driven ABC enables managers to report their costs on an ongoing basis in a way that reveals both the cost of a business's activities and as well as the time spent on them. You have information also on the difference between the capacity supplied and the capacity used.
This gives you the opportunity to review unused capacity, or to look at where there is not enough capacity to satisfy customer requirements. By factoring in the real costs associated with each customer, you can make adjustments – both operational and financial – that will favourably impact your bottom line.
The simulation model also highlights resources gaps and spare capacity, and helps you to identify opportunities for resource management which will contribute most to business profitability.
The outstanding benefit of the simulation model is that the information is entirely made up of proven factual figures – so that any decisions you make are based on reality. This means that you can be confident going to board level, that the resourcing capacity that you require is fully supported by accurate information; that you maximise profit per individual customer relationship and that you minimise costs.
Managers can easily update their simulation model to reflect changes in the operating environment and to measure improvement in efficiencies and costs.

Victoria Harbour From the Pilot's Perspective
The attached Canada Flight Supplement for Victoria Harbour mirrors the Marine Scheme with some differences.
One rule, for example, is that planes are to avoid coming within 50 m (165′) of watercraft. Although if they do infringe that distance, they can and probably will argue aviation safety. its just good to know what the rules are. it is also good for a paddler to be aware of exactly where the runways are located.
The last thing we want is to create a conflict for an airplane with a load of passengers. Airplanes must land relatively into and take off into wind. It is interesting to watch the pilot's coming in to land. In many cases they land down wind or cross wind due to the constraints of the runway directions Once committed, they may not be able to maneuver out of your way should you stray into their path. You may find out exactly why they refer to kayaks and canoes as speed bumps. Click this link to DOWNLOAD the Victoria Harbour Aviation map

Dock Reconstruction and Boat Storage Building
October 29th, saw our former landlord move locations leaving the remnants of our water facilities in various states of disrepair. Upon arrival in the morning, our club house was found floating, loosely tied up to the dock in a different position than the night before. After several days of 'all hands on deck' the old south dock was divided into useful parts and paddled over to the north dock location. Commercial flotation was purchased and installed in November and December. A new section of dock was constructed from scratch with new flotation and attached by December 3rd after one long hard day working in torrential rain and 1 deg. C with a volunteer crew. Click on the following photo for images of the project.
In the meantime, we were faced with 35 knot winds from the South West on December 20th that saw the club house break free and create a 3 foot piece of open water between our wooden dock and the facility concrete docks. Later the cold weather brought outflow 30 to 35 knot North Easters that again broke club house free from its mooring to the concrete dock. In both occurrences, the wood split on the rail of the concrete dock and risked loss of the entire facility. Quick thinking during both occurrences saved the docks and club house from becoming part of the Bay Street Bridge in the first instance or the Blue Bridge in the second instance.
The rest of the dock works continued through December and a new boat house construction was commenced. Most of the boat house was built in below freezing outflow windy weather. It is now almost at the lockup stage and will require future cosmetic touches (eave-troughs and siding), in order to weather future rainy winters.
Inside, we were able to provide secure storage for 15 single OC1 canoes and 3 double OC2 canoes. We had planned on more boats, however the more modern OC1 canoes with deep rockers and 10 to 11″ surfing rudders take up a LOT of space. The canoes are at waters edge and in a secure and dry lockup. Rental of some of this space should provide some much required revenue to offset the club's dock expenses.
BRIDGES 2016, "A Great Success"
Firstly, we wish to thank all those participants who came to our club to enjoy this 17th running of the annual Bridges race. We love watching the good will and enjoyment everyone wears on their faces at this race!
We are proud of everyone in our club for stepping up to make things happen! A comment was made that "Each year it runs smoother and smoother," and this is because of you! Bridges was a huge success this year once again.
Special thanks to Lise for her master coordinating skills with registrations and taking on the job of race result entry; Cindy Wright for her fabulous prizes; Jason as safety coordinator; Kerry for organizing the door prizes; Robin for the tunes and announcements; and Glenys for coordinating the 50/50 and the very successful paddle raffle! The volunteer efforts by everyone on Saturday and Sunday were fabulous.
Its important to note the skillful efforts of those taking care of the timing, dock duty and registrations. And thanks to Julie as OC6 race organizer, Lise as the Inny & Outty Race organizer and all those who made these happen.
See you all next year!
Results are ATTACHED BELOW:.
Although we wish we could change the ferry schedule to accommodate out of town paddlers….we can't. But we can seed you in heats that work well with that schedule. The earlier you register, the better your chances are that you will get in a heat that works for you. Bridges 2016 Registration and Waiver

We are four free birds who met in the barbershop choir "Malmö Limelight Chorus" after flights in different musical landscapes. We decided to nest and formed the quartet "Beginner's Luck" in 2006. We still find ourselves lucky but as time passed by we decided to change the name of the quartet and became "Jammingbirds". 2010 the quartet got a new "chick" when Anna became our new bass.
We're a Swedish barbershop quartet, members of Sweet Adeline region 32.
Jammingbirds wants to share the joy of life and music with you!
There's no show without a glimpse of humour.

Plug-Back Cement Kits
Field-proven cement kits specially designed for use in bailer applications
- Zone isolation
- Water shutoff
- Well abandonment
Features and Benefits
- Good particle suspension in the slurry reduces the risk of settling in the bailer, which results in time saved by avoiding additional remedial runs.
- Minimal water loss reduces the risk of premature setting in the bailer, which minimizes the number of runs and equipment damage.
- Delayed development of static-gel strength prolongs thickening time (low rheology), enabling easy flow out of the bailer and saving time and money by eliminating the need for additional runs.
- HIP Mix kits resist gas migration to obtain a sound isolation barrier, saving time and money in additional remedial runs.
- Multiple slurry densities are available to fit the well conditions.
- The kits are formulated for a short initial set time (less than 12 hours) after the slurry has been dumped, which results in reduced downtime.
- The kits are also formulated to achieve high-compression strength development (less than 24 hours).
- Post-set expansion results in high bonded shear strength to casing, which saves time and money by reducing the number of runs needed.
Tool Description
Weatherford is an authorized distributor of field-proven HIP™ Mix cements, which have been specially designed for use in thru-tubing bailer applications. HIP Mix kits are known worldwide as the benchmark for dump-bailer cement systems. Since 1985, HIP Mix cement kits have an established record based on thousands of successful jobs.
