Sources are reporting that Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante has officially left the band.
Musicradar posted a report stating that Frusciante has already been replaced by Josh Klinghoffer. Klinghoffer played as an additional 5th member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers during their 2007 Stadium Arcadium tour.
"Josh Klinghoffer has been playing with the group for a couple of months now," a source close to the band explained. "Optimistically, the Peppers are trying to lock down a replacement for John, who has apparently quit."
The source went on to say that Frusciante has been antsy to depart the band for quite some time now: "Mentally, John checked out a long time ago. He's interested in doing his own thing, his own albums - the whole big rock band machinery just doesn't appeal to him anymore."
It's really hard not to sympathize with John on this one. It can't be easy writing the same song everyday for over a decade.

Skip to comments.Ground operation follows deceptive measures aimed at Hamas [Israeli Incursion]
Posted on 07/17/2014 3:23:53 PM PDT by Star Traveler
Israels inner cabinet decided on expansion of military activities on Tuesday, after Egypts cease-fire efforts failed; news media were told a decision would only be made Friday morning.
The Israel Defense Forces ground operation in the Gaza Strip began after the inner cabinet met in secret on Thursday night in Tel Aviv. In a deceptive maneuver intended to give the impression that no significant expansion of the military operation would happen in the next 24 hours, Israeli officials told reporters the security cabinet would only be meeting on Friday morning.
A senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the cabinet ministers had already approved the ground operation when it met Tuesday night, after the Egyptian cease-fire initiative fell through. At the meeting, cabinet members were briefed in detail on the various stages of the operational plans. As the meeting concluded, the ministers authorized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense minister Moshe Yaalon to decide on both the nature of the ground operation and its timing.

"the basis of all warfare is deception"
Sun Tzu, 6th Century B.C.
A plane being shot down in Ukraine doesn't hurt either.
True Dat.
General Tzu's head would explode if anyone suggested that war plans should be announced days or months ahead of time, I think.
Maybe if Supreme Commander Obama is fond of doing exactly that, it is now OK, no?
They kept Obama out of the loop with his band of Moslem Brotherhood cronies in the White House.
I don't know how much out of the loop he would be. By that I mearn when you have about 60,000 troops at a border, when they weren't there before, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that an invasion is about to happen ... :-) ...
But as far as trusting Obama, when he says he's got Israel's back ... no, I wouldn't do that.
No, occams razor applies here- which states the simplest answer is usually the right one. The simplest answer, being in this case "Obama is a moron" is the one I'm going with.

"Episode 6646", also known as "The Eclipse", is the 6646th episode of the Australian soap opera Neighbours. It premiered on Eleven on 20 May 2013. The episode was written by Jason Herbison and directed by Laurence Wilson. "Episode 6646" revolves around an annular eclipse, which changes the lives of several Ramsay Street residents. It was first teased by executive producer Richard Jasek in January 2013. The episode saw several storylines play out with Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan) sustaining serious damage to his eyesight, a child kidnapping, the introduction of a new family and the return of two past characters; Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor) and Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin).
Two promotional trailers for the episode were released by Eleven and British broadcaster Channel 5 respectively. A real annular eclipse occurred in Australia ten days before the episode was broadcast. "Episode 6646" was watched by 353,000 Australian viewers, which made it the top rated programme on the digital multichannels that day. In the UK, the episode was seen by 780,000 viewers during the first showing and 1.07 million viewers during the second. Television critics thought the episode was full of dramatic incidents, while others felt sorry for Kyle and agreed that Lucas and Vanessa's happiness had been short lived again.
The episode opens one hour before the eclipse occurs. The Turner family are hosting a barbecue for their friends and neighbours in their backyard at Number 32. Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) and Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) discuss Stephanie Scully's (Carla Bonner) state of mind after learning that she is off her medication. At Harold's Store, Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) reacquaints himself with his former neighbour Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin), who has moved back to Erinsborough with his wife and two children. During the eclipse, Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major) proposes again to Vanessa Villante (Alin Sumarwata), who accepts. When the sun comes back out, Lauren Turner (Kate Kendall) is surprised to see her first love, Brad, has moved onto Ramsay Street with his family. Bailey Turner (Calen Mackenzie) shares a moment with his best friend's girlfriend, Rani Kapoor (Coco Cherian), when she becomes upset.
At Number 26, Amber Turner (Jenna Rosenow) comes to watch the eclipse with her friend Chris Pappas (James Mason). She eventually apologises to Chris for developing feelings for him, despite knowing he is gay. While Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan) and Georgia Brooks (Saskia Hampele) are in the spa, Kyle's dog, Bossy, steals his safety glasses and Georgia gives chase. Kyle then decides to watch the eclipse without them, damaging his eyesight. At Lassiter's Lake, Mason Turner (Taylor Glockner) tells his girlfriend Kate Ramsay (Ashleigh Brewer) that he loves her for the first time. Before she can reply, Kate spots Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor), her ex-boyfriend, who she believed to be dead. She tries to find him, but Mark disappears. Back at Number 32, Lucas and Vanessa go to check on their infant son, Patrick (Basquait Voevodin-Knack), and discover that he has been taken.
"Episode 6646" was written by Jason Herbison and directed by Laurence Wilson.[1] It was executively produced by Richard Jasek, who first teased the episode during a January 2013 interview with Jackie Brygel from TV Week.[2] He revealed that Mark Brennan (played by Scott McGregor) would return during an eclipse, two years after being presumed dead, causing his ex-girlfriend, Kate Ramsay (Ashleigh Brewer), to question whether she has really seen him.[2] In addition to Mark's return, Jasek said that "a whole lot of things happen" in the episode and added that it was "definitely going to be interesting."[2] Herbison commented that he was proud of the episode, saying "It's really difficult to find a story that hasn't been done before and the eclipse was something a bit fresh and original. I really liked the way several major events unfolded in the one episode".[3]
Several storylines began for various characters during the episode.[2] Mark Brennan's return was described by Hazel Bradley from The West Australian as being "nearly as dramatic as his exit", which saw him leave during a real-time episode in 2011.[4] The eclipse scenes were filmed in late 2012 when McGregor came home to Australia for Christmas.[4] Just after Kate's boyfriend, Mason Turner (Taylor Glockner), declared his love for her, Kate saw a glimpse of Mark during the eclipse.[5] Of the moment, McGregor explained "I'm not sure of all the details, but as the Sun goes behind the Moon Kate thinks she sees Brennan. But as it is dark she can't be sure."[4] The actor called it "a pretty cool return" and Kate was left "unable to shake the feeling" that Mark was alive.[4][5]
The episode also saw the return of Brad Willis following an absence of twenty years, as well as the introduction of his family.[6] The character's return was announced in February 2013 and came during a period of continuing focus on families within the show.[7] During the eclipse, Brad, his wife, Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou), and their two teenage children, Imogen (Ariel Kaplan) and Joshua (Harley Bonner), moved into Number 22 Ramsay Street. Brad was reunited with his former lover Lauren Turner (Kate Kendall).[6] Kip Gamblin, who was cast in the role of Brad, revealed that his character had no idea Lauren was back in Erinsborough. He also observed that Lauren's reaction to Brad's appearance was "like she's seen a ghost!"[8] All About Soap's Kerry Barrett wondered if there was still "a spark" between the pair.[6]
"Episode 6646" saw Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major) propose to Vanessa Villante (Alin Sumarwata) again, before they discovered their son, Patrick (Basquait Voevodin-Knack), had been taken.[6] Lucas felt the eclipse was the ideal time to propose to Vanessa, who was "thrilled" and accepted straight away.[6] However, their happiness was short lived when they were alarmed to discover Patrick's pram empty. Lucas and Vanessa began to fear that something terrible had happened to their son.[9] Major commented "It's such a scary moment when Lucas realises that Patrick has disappeared. Shock sets in initially, so there's a myriad of different scenarios going through his head. At first he's as in the dark as everyone else about what's happened".[9] The event also marked the start of Stephanie Scully's (Carla Bonner) exit storyline.[9]
During the eclipse, Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan) sustain serious damage to his eyesight. When he and Georgia Brooks (Saskia Hampele) watch the eclipse together, his dog steals his safety glasses and Kyle make the unwise decision to look at the eclipse without them.[6] Georgia frantically urges him to stop and Kyle screams out "in agony" as his retinas are damaged.[6][10] A show spokesperson told Susan Hill from the Daily Star, "Kyle realises how hard his life is going to be without his eyesight and struggles to come to terms with everything he's going through."[10] While many storylines began during this episodes, a smaller one ended. A "lovesick" Amber Turner (Jenna Rosenow), who had developed a crush on Chris Pappas (James Mason), was told by Georgia that she was "totally barking up the wrong tree" as Chris was gay and would not return her affection.[6] Despite this, Amber declared her feelings for Chris and was rejected by him. They then shared "a sweet moment" where Chris explained that if he was straight, he would want her to be his girlfriend.[6]
Promotion and broadcast[edit]
In Australia, Eleven released a short trailer for "The Eclipse", featuring scenes from the various events that occur in the episode.[11] British broadcaster, Channel 5 created their own promo, with the tagline "Four life-changing events. One unmissable episode."[12] "Episode 6646" was aired on 20 May 2013 in Australia and almost a month later on 17 June in the UK.[11][12] A real annular solar eclipse occurred in Australia ten days before the episode aired there.[13]
"Episode 6646" was viewed by an audience of 353,000 upon its broadcast in Australia, making it the top rated programme on the digital multichannels.[14] In the UK, the episode was seen by 780,000 viewers during the lunch time showing. A total of 1.07 million viewers watched the episode when it aired in the early evening.[15] Describing the episode, a reporter for the Liverpool Daily Post stated "There's a total eclipse of the heart as the locals gather to watch the moon block out the sun, and Lauren comes face to face with her first love: Brad Willis."[16] The reporter felt sorry for Kyle after he damaged his sight during the eclipse and felt that Lucas and Vanessa's happiness was "short-lived (yet again)", following Patrick's disappearance.[16] Of the moment Lauren came face to face with Brad, Jaci Stephen from the Daily Mail wrote "Why do I sense another eclipse – of a marriage?"[17]
Writing ahead of the episode's broadcast in the UK, Digital Spy's Daniel Kilkelly said that Neighbours would air "a must-see week of episodes" in which "a variety of dramatic incidents" take place during the eclipse.[18] He added "As the local community gathers together to witness the astronomical event, the Ramsay Street residents are unaware that some of their lives might be about to change forever."[18] A TVTimes columnist noted that Lucas and Vanessa's romantic evening came to "a sudden halt" when they learned Patrick was gone.[19] Of the returning characters, the columnist commented "Brad Willis returns – with a new face, naturally – and Kate gets a visit from Mark Brennan. Yes, he was supposed to have died – but that's soap for you..."[19] Kerry Barrett from All About Soap observed that the episode plunged the characters "into darkness – and chaos!"[6] In March 2015, Genevieve Hassan from BBC News included "The Eclipse" on their list of Neighbours' 30 most memorable moments.[20]

Had a visit with the gestational hematologist today, the 30 minute visit turned into an hour and a half! Everything went well. I need a whole bunch of additional tests at the university of minnesota.
I have a blood disorder that may or may not force me into a c-section, and it will need to be watched for my pregnancy. As of right now, everything looks good, and we are on track for normal delivery. However we have to watch the labor closely as no forceps or vacuum can be used should the baby get stuck.
My doctor may decide to just do a c-section to be safe, but that is something we need to discuss together. The risk of the baby having it is 50/50, so we have to decide what will work best for me and the baby. My sister has this disorder as well, but hers in a level worse than mine, so she needed her blood thickened and a planned c-section.
Im really hoping to avoid a c-section of at all possible. But we will see what develops.

Facing competitive pressures and rapidly accelerating user demand for interactive services, cable operators need to upgrade their network architectures. These upgrade requirements are pushing optical fiber deeper into the network. But simply replacing existing transmission lines with fiber is no longer the most cost-effective way to handle increasing bandwidth requirements. Operators are now taking advantage of advances in optical filtering that significantly increase the number of signals (or wavelengths) that can be carried on a single fiber, a process known as dDense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM).

I don't mark 4's and 5's easily, so for me, this is a strong endorsement. I chose the RST because I've been to a Palladium resort before (Jamaica) and this option represents FOUR Palladium resorts at one location. The RST is the adults-only "neighborhood" which is wonderful because you can stay there, or venture out to the other three Palladium resorts. You can enjoy ALL the amenities of the other resorts, however the others can't come to the RST, so it's exclusive and that offers comfort and value, and more seclusion if you are so inclined. The RST has 24 hour room service and each building has a "butler" nearly around the clock. The butlers are more than a concierge. They handle the scheduling of the room cleaning, they make local phone calls for you (in Spanish), you do your dinner reservations through them, they call for your taxi, they handle any needed repairs, and they generally care for you the entire time. The minibar comes stocked with top shelf liquors - not the small 50ml bottles, but full 750ml. The suites by the pool all have a view of the Caribbean. There is another section that has swim-up to the ground floor rooms. The rooms are large and comfortable. The RST has its own beach too, with sunbathing beds for couples. It's really hard to beat the comfort and value of the RST, and again, you're at a huge Palladium complex, so you can enjoy all the other features of the entire property, for example the Spa, the Casino, two amphitheatres with nightly shows, a sports complex, and many restaurants and bars to choose from. And now for the more personal aspect of my endorsement. My 20 year old daughter and I rented a car and were struck by an oncoming truck on our second day of our Spring Break vacation. We suffered broken bones and other maladies and spent four days in a nearby hospital. The butlers at RST never stopped caring for us. They met us at the ambulance. They called us multiple times per day in the hospital. They helped us with rides, they helped us with banking, they escorted us to the police station to do follow up paperwork. When we were discharged, they made sure our suite had the extra things that we needed due to our tender condition. We could only sleep sitting up, so there were many memory-foam pillows. Room service was put on full alert to serve us fast. Ultimately, I was not able to return on our scheduled flight back to the USA due to my bruised lung (not good in a pressurized cabin). The butlers and the management at RST made sure accomodations were made so I could stay in my suite until I was cleared to fly home. My daughter returned as scheduled; my ex-wife flew down to help us in the hospital and escort our daughter home. We only had one full day to enjoy the resort, so we made the best of it. It is a beautiful property with plenty to see and do. Spending four days of a six day vacation in a hospital is everyone's worst nightmare, but the people at RST truly helped us make the best out of a bad situation. We're home now and following up with our USA doctors, and we should return to full strength and health. We are eternally grateful to the management and staff, and I would recommend the RST to anyone. And lastly, I must offer HIGH praise to CheapCaribbean.com. They employ local customer advocates in each of the areas they do bookings, to handle any customer support issues that may arise. Well of course, we fell into that category. Sr. Rijo is the representative for all the Dominican properties. He visited us in our hospital room. He arranged for free transport for my ex-wife. He drove me to the police station and later, to the courthouse at the province capital (Higuey). He even lent me money when my card didn't work in the ATM. He was available 24x7. He helped with translation. The list goes on and on. And he did it all without ever asking for anything in return. Simply the BEST!! Everyone should use CheapCaribbean.com for their travel needs - I always will. Lastly, let me say that our accident could have occured anywhere. This is not an extremely dangerous place to drive. Tourism is by far the number one economy in this area of the country, so generally it is kept safe for visitors. Having said that, getting around by taxi is an easy and affordable alternative, and the excursions of course include transport as well. Or you can just stay within the resort, you'll never run out of things to do.
With more restaurants than one could imagine (14 I believe), and 3 buffets too boot, what's not to like about the Royal Suites Turquesa by Palladium in Punta Cana. We arrived at Punta Cana airport, and once we had our baggage, we went to Turinter booth and in less than a minute, we were escorted to our van to take us to the Palladium. Once there, we checked in at the lobby, but since our plane was a few hours earlier than the normal 3 pm check-in, we enjoyed our first meal at the buffet for the Royal Suites. A perfect ending to a trip that started for us at 6am. The buffet was excellent with a menu that would match some of our better restaurants in the States. Our room was the Royal Junior Suite Deluxe. It was indeed deluxe. A canopied bed, great jacuzzi, shower was spacious. The room was really clean, although a musty smell once we arrived but that quickly evaporated once we moved around inside. (We were on the 2nd floor, but next time we will pay a little extra for a swim-up room.) On the first floor there was a desk for our "butler". If we encountered any problems, we just presented them to the butler and he took care of it for us. No phone calls to make on our part, just tell the butler. What could be easier than that. A word about the resort staff. In our 5 nights there, we met only one person that was a little surly. Coming from Brooklyn, we are used to most everyone being surly. So one out of an estimated 75 or more, that's not bad at all. The staff was very informative, courteous and always smiled as we passed them on the streets. They made us feel comfortable. Will we go back, you bet. As a matter of fact, I'm planning on taking my wife there on her birthday next year. This will be our third trip to Punta Cana, with this one the best of the three. Sorry I rambled on and on but when something is as good as the Palladium resort, I could continue praising this place. Thanks for reading. Jimmyg8138
From start to end I had nothing but bad experiences with this resort. Upon check in they tried to tell me the room I reserved was not available. After my complaining for half hour they mysteriously found my room was available. They were trying to give it to someone else. Instead of trying to help me the girl checking me in says " I don't deal with that" instead of trying to locate the person who could assist me. Leak in the ceiling. When I complained about the leak they said "that's not a leak; its condensation and all the rooms have that. Other guests just put a towel on the floor." Unless I'm mistaken, water falling from the ceiling consistently is a leak. I couldn't believe my ears! A 5 star resort telling me just to put a towel on the floor for a leak??!! The food was horrible!! The customer service was just as bad! The resort was beautiful but that was the only good thing! I literally cried my 3rd day there from the frustration! Coincidentally there were many other couples complaining as well and also about the lack of customer service! The bed was so uncomfortable that my boyfriend and I both left with back pain! I would never recommend this hotel!! Horrific experience! Totally ruined my vacation. Don't bother paying for butler service. You never see him as he's split between two buildings and dealing with so many complaints, he never has time. When I went to complain to the girl at the desk she said once again " I don't deal with that" instead of trying to help me but that seemed to be her motto! Do not waste your money here!!
The swim up rooms were excellent , very private with bar , you did not have to leave your room, not busy like the pool & beach . A very big selection of restaurants, like 13, a few were exceptional but a lot of others were fair The resort & rooms were first class appearance , upscale, clean & maintained very well. Very nice that you could have the option of all the other resort facilities like restaurant, pool & lounge.
The resort was very nice and its huge. Lots of different options to do and always something going on. I didn't realize before we went there are only 2 restaurants for the royal only (adults only) They rest of the restaurants are mixed in with the other resorts on the grounds. they tried to keep us away from the kids but there around, it didn't bother us but some people might not like it. A lot of the restaurants are very far away from the royal but they offer golf karts to bring you around or you can bring comfortable shoes and walk like we did. A great thing about the royal is you can make reservations for dinner (you don't have to get up early to do this, just book with the Butler at anytime for as many days as you want) the other resorts have to wait for dinner with those buzzer things, we just walked right up and were seated. Restaurants have good food and there is a good variety of different types of restaurants. Every restaurant expect the dinner buffet seamed to have the same problem, everyone working there didn't really have a set job, we would have several people coming up to us and our drinks did not get filled as quick as we would have liked, we learned the first few night we had to get there attention to get the drinks filled, once we established we were drinkers they seamed to pay attention more. The biggest down side to the restaurants to me was breakfast ends at 10 am, and i like to sleep in on vacation, i only went to breakfast one time. Our room was awesome, clean, lots of space, nice shower, jet tub. The bed is definitely on the firm side, i didn't mind it but the girl did, but the best part was the swim out room, definitely worth the upgrade, you'll be sorry if you don't get it., it was great to take after dinner or late night dips in the pool then just walk right into your room. The royal rooms have four full bottles or vodka, rum, gin and scotch as well as beer, soda and water, bottles of wine you have to buy. The beach was nice, always busy but we never had problems finding chairs in the shade or sun and we went never went the beach very early. The pools are nice, there are two adult only pools one is a little quieter then the other and there are a bunch of other pools through out the compound so you easily find something you like. All the bars are great and make great drinks, but i always ended up at the lobby bar by the end of the night. This is my fourth all exclusive trip and i liked this resort the best. Its the best of both worlds you can have your peace and quite and just stay on the royal side or wonder over to the other resorts wheres there's tons of people and always something going on.
We chose this resort since there were other resorts owned by the same company that we could visit. The grounds were beautiful. We walked most places but also rode their golf carts driven by resort staff to get around. Good food selection. Make sure to try different restaurants to find what you like. Remember that no food is ever like home. We ate off site at a restaurant Captain Cook that was amazing with fresh seafood. The hotel lobby bar was the best bar on the grounds that we found. It was the only bar that did not seem like they waterered the alcohol down. The majority of the resort staff was awesome. Our butlers Manuel & Charlie were the best! The beach and water were breathtaking. The sand was so soft and the water was clear. We loved our swim-up suite even though we really didn't use the pool much. The room was great. The resort credits we received were only coupons able to be used for specific items. The on-site shopping prices were pretty comparable to near-by shops for local goods. The biggest downfall of the trip was our Amstar representative, Ruth. She called our room at 08:30am on the 2nd day to remind us to meet her at 09:30am. We were on our honeymoon & did not like being called at 08:30am. We went ahead and got up to meet her at the lobby for 09:30am & waited around for 10 mins. 1 of the resort staff said they saw her but did not know where she went. So we went about our day, met up with some friends that accompanied us & went to the beach. On the way back in, I saw a desk with Amstar on it and introduced myself to Ruth. I explained that we had looked for her earlier with no luck. She asked me for my return flight info. I didn't have it on me as we were walking in from the beach. I told her that our return flight was going to Miami and the roundabout time. She insisted that there were no flights with that info and wrote down a time for us to be in the lobby for pickup on our departure date. She then asked us if we had booked any excursions. I told her that 1 of our friends accompanying us scheduled a fishing trip. She continued to ask who he booked through and I told her he had booked with an employee at a restaurant we ate at. She told me that "you are not allowed to do that." I explained that he had not booked with cheap Caribbean.com and was not bound to anything with her. She then proceeded to become very beligerent ask who he booked his trip with. She also told me "good luck with that because if you have bad weather you won't get your money back." At that point I got up and walked away. She had ZERO customer service skills with us. Fast forward a few days and another couple came to meet us. They too had to meet with Ruth regarding transportation they set up through Amstar. They did however have all of our return flight info for her. She looked up the flight and set them up for a different pick-up time. I told Ruth that we are all on the same flight and our pick-up should be changed to the same time. Ruth said "well then you had to have told me the wrong info." I explained how I didn't have the info on me and she insisted that there was no flight info with the time frame I had provided. She said she had already sent the info to the office and would have to change it since I gave her the wrong info. At this time, the friends with me and my husband had enough of Ruth's blatent rudeness. They confirmed that our pick-up time would all be together and we left. They did book an excursion with her as she told us we had to since we booked with Cheap Caribbean.com. I do not know how true that is. She was by far the worst part of our trip & needs a lesson om customer service. Luckily, there was only 1 of her and everyone else made up for her horrible attitude. I will book with cheap Caribbean.com in the future. It was easy and reliable.
We had a fabulous time at the Royal Suites Turquesa. It happens to be the "high-end" resort in this Palladium section, so if you stay here, you get perks that the other 3 or 4 resorts in the campus do not. We saw security always patrolling the grounds, day or night, and we felt very safe where we were. The pool and ocean were never crowded. The a la carte restaurants were very good. You need to make reservations for the a la carte restaurants. However, they tell you you can't go to these restaurants the first night because you need a reservation, but we did see people get in without reservations, you just need to wait until they are done seating everyone with a reservation. Room service has terrible food and the buffet food is pretty bad. If you do go buffet, have someone at a station make something fresh for you and it is better than the food they have out. The rooms are fantastic - very spacious and clean. We had a problem or two with electric outlets (they kept giving out) and the air conditioning isn't the best. We combatted that by leaving all the lights off at night and using the television for light. That kept the room much cooler for some reason. We had also ordered Olympus Tours to transport us to and from the airport. They did a nice job getting us to the resort right away upon arrival but they did not come get us to take us back to the airport even though we met with a guy who took all our information and told us he would be there. When we called them to see where our ride was, the guy we met with wasn't there and they did nothing to help us, we just ordered a taxi. My advice is skip Olympus for transportation, there are more than enough people to take you from the airport to the resort. Everyone at the resort was very nice and accomodating. We would definitely go back to this resort again.
I chose this resort, because of my prior experience with Palladium/Fiesta Group. They really know how to provide a top notch vacation resort. The resort was staffed by the best, the amenities were great, the food was good. That being said, I was dissappointed that I paid extra for a room upgrade, that was to include "sea view". By upgrading to the "Royal Junior Suite Deluxe", got us a suite, that was across the street and tucked in a corner, from the Royal Suites Complex, and thru that to the Royal Suites Pool area, then beach. The standard rated rooms were facing the pool, and next to the beach. If I only knew, I could have saved the upgrade charge, and gotten a much better room location. I also requested a swim-up room, but to no avail. The room was great, but only got about 5 minutes of "free room wi-fi". In all, it was a great but short vacation. The only other negative element of this part of the resort, was the high rate of vehicular traffic; we were constantly dodging passing vans, taxis, and buses. When we were at Palladium Montego Bay, all that traffic was restricted to just the main entrance area, and not were the guests walked. The resort had visitors from all over the world, with folks primarily from Russia, Canada, France and Germany, but a lot of the staff had a hard time understanding and speaking English.
I have to say that I based my decision on reviews of this resort from trip advisor and I was extremely disappointed. This is an adult's only resort but shares grounds with several other Palladium resorts which are family resorts. This is not the issue, the issues is that the Turquesa does not have any entertainment itself at all. All the activity takes place at the family resorts and after 11PM your only option is to go to the disco to hang out and drink with a bunch of 18 year olds. I left my kids home for a reason. We met a bunch of other people who were having the same problem and they were trying to make the best of the situation by enjoying themselves in the swim up pool outside their room. But at 8:30 PM were asked to exit the pool as they were being too loud. Most people we spoke to described this resort as a retirement home. Also another issue, I understand we are in another country but being in the hospitality industry you would think that the staff, especially the front desk, would have a little better understanding of the English language. My daughter called from the states to check in and make sure all was well and the first time they could not understand her at all and hung up on her and the second time she spoke to them in Spanish and was placed on hold for 10 minutes and then hung up on. I am sure glad it was not an emergency. We were completely ignored by the staff at the bar as well as in the buffet. After waiting for about 20 minutes for a glass of water we ended up getting up and getting ourselves which seemed to upset the wait staff. During breakfast half the time we would finish our food before the coffee even made it to the table. And don't get me started about the so called Casino, if you can call it that. It is a room consisting of a couple table games and maybe about 30 very outdated slot machines. It all starts when you walk in the door and are greeted by the staff who entices you with a "new game" they want you to try on their dime. They give you 2 chips to get you started. Well, being from the states we are quite familiar with the game which is called Razzle, which is actually illegal in the US. If you don't believe me Google razzle scam. Luckily we were aware and after our 2 attempts on the casino's dime we knew to walk away. However, some people are not so fortunate. My husband made an attempt to warn the older couple who walked in the door after us who at this point already had started betting with their own money. They lady who is in charge of escorting the new victims over to the game became extremely annoyed and attempted to flag down security to have us removed from the casino but we quickly left. I do want to mention that the casino is not owned and operated by the resort itself but by an outside firm and is in no way regulated. We only learned that from reviewing it after the fact. I have to say the food and staff at the 2 restaurants we were able to get a reservation to were much better. The resort is absolutely huge and there is a shuttle service that takes you from place to place. The problem is you know where you want to go but have no idea how to get there. So you ask the driver and they nod with a smile so you hope they understood your request. But they make multiple stops during the ride and never once announce where you are so you have to get out and go up to the driver and ask if this is your stop. You can ask 5 different people the same question and receive 5 different answers. We even tried using the app but when you ask the staff about the activities listed on the app for a specific day they have no idea what you are talking about. Then they point you to a board that list activities but does not tell you when or where. Now the island itself is beautiful and the beaches are just breathtaking. We did a couple excursions and had a blast. So if you are only going for some R&R this may be the place for you. But I like to have options. I spent last year's vacation in Paradise Island, Bahamas at the Riu Palace and was completely blown away. The staff knew you by name and knew what you liked to drink and had it on the bar before you even asked for it. They were always happy and smiling and went out of their way every chance they had. This was definitely a one and done.
This resort was amazing! It completely exceeded my expectations on every level. Everything and anything we asked for was granted. We asked for an upgrade to a swim-up suite, which we got, and was totally worth the little extra. The only complaint I do have is with Olympus tours; they are the third party representative between you and Cheap Caribbean. They are supposed to arrange for your pickup from the airport, help you book any excursions you want to do while in the Dominican, and arrange your pick up from the hotel back to the airport. They picked us up fine, but our representative, Frank, from Olympus who was supposed to help us book and plan things was horrible! He was never around and very unhelpful. We ended up getting a different rep towards the end of our stay, who made sure our ride back to the airport was all set, something Frank hadn't done! All in all I have no complaints with the resort. Again, my only issue was Olympus tours, but that's a cheap Caribbean issue, not a resort issue :)

I have just watched this video on how to write a great research paper. The talk is by Professor Simon Peyton Jones, Microsoft Research. In the talk Peyton Jones presents eight principles on how to develop and write a research paper. The content is wonderfully clear, and in my view, completely correct. The principles he discusses are very similar to what I often repeat to my students (and I am sure many of my colleagues too). So, the content of the talk is great and so is the way it is done. I highly enjoyed watching this. Great advice presented in a great way!

Usually I don't acquire information just watching a videos, but I would like to say that this video is very obliged me to take a study and do so! The discussion has been impressed me. I have learned and earned from this research paper help. Thank you for sharing this video, I'm making note of all the advices.

If you need to write a research paper, write it yourself. The main thing is the writing of avoiding plagiarism of text. I want to recommend a good site for checking for plagiarism - online plagiarism checker

Tom Ingoldsby
One of the most exciting and idiomatic voices to emerge in recent years, Tom Ingoldsby's music owes its immediacy and accessibility to a combination of engaging rhythmic complexity with a superb ear for instrumental colour and a long-breathed lyricism.
A "late arriver" to classical music, Tom's musical origins lie in rock and roll, and he lists artists from the Beatles to King Crimson as major influences on his life. After playing guitar in a few semi-successful rock bands, he began composing short pieces for piano, one of which won a Music Canada award. He studied composition with Boyd McDonald and Mariano Etkin at Wilfred Laurier University, and then obtained his Master's degree at the State University of New York, Buffalo, working for two years with Morton Feldman. He subsequently spent three years at the Cleveland Institute of Music studying with Donald Erb.
"Wave Etchings", a Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, which won the 1999 City of Tarragona composition prize, and was given its UK premiere by Rolf Hind and the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Pascal Rophe, and subsequently broadcast in Hear and Now on BBC Radio 3. .
His violin sonata, "After the Eulogy", was joint winner of both jury and critics prize in the 2002 UK/Eire Composition Competition.
"Lamentations and Celebrations", his concerto for percussion ensemble and orchestra, won the 2 Agosto competition in Bologna in 1998, and was praised as "mature and substantial" (La Repubblica). Previous awards include the 1996 Clements Memorial Award for Chamber Music for his "Sonata for Violin and Piano", and a commemorative award from the 2nd Tokyo International Competition for Composition for "Three Small Litanies" for soprano and chamber ensemble.

A leader represents the other people and the surroundings. A good leader will always try to lead his followers in the right path. A leadermust always have a target set in his mind. A leadership can only be achieved through some perfect strategies. Without them a leader can never be succeed. Some of the points are mentioned below:
1. Fixed Goal:
A leader can never be so without a fixed goal. Whatever he does in his life should ultimately have a goal. And without any target no one it yet successful. A work he does should be target based. A leader needs to set a goal in order to achieve success in his work. Otherwise he will not be able to be a winner.
2. Good Effort:
No one has yet successful without giving good effort. If a leader has his target he needs to put an effort to achieve that target. A leadercan fail in his first attempt toward his target but lots of good effort can make him reach the target. Without any effort nothing can be achieved. So effort is necessary
.3. Being Knowledgeable:
Knowledge is a power it makes a leader more sound and people listen to him.
A leader should empower himself with good knowledge so that no can doubt his approach for his target. He should acquire so much knowledge that his followers can rely on him without having any doubt on him.
4. Working Wisely:
Before taking a step a leader needs to be wise enough to understand the circumstances after it. His decisions should be wise enough to please the people around him. Wisely taken decisions are always beneficial for the people surrounding him and for the leader himself.
5. Being Social:
In order to live in a society a person needs to be social. A leader needs to be social by interacting with all kinds' people then helping them if anyone needs a help. Stand beside them in their bad times and protect them from any kind of difficulties. Being a leader it is his responsibility to look after the people and give effort to fulfill their needs.
6. Positivity:
By wiping out all negativity and being positive a person can accomplish his target. It is very much essential for the leader to be positive always and show a positive way to his followers. Without positivity no leader can be confident enough to achieve his target, his footsteps may be a bit shaky towards his target.
7. Equal Treatment:
A leader must treat his followers, fellow mates equally. He should never distinguish between any high ranker with a lower ranker. In fact no one should be treated unequally by him. If he wants to get a good treatment from others he needs to do the same.
8. Exceeding Expectations:
A leader should go beyond the expectations of people. That means he should go do more than what people expects from him.
9. Responding frequently:
A leader should response to all his phone calls and meetings. He should always respond to people nicely so that he also gets back the same.
10. Avoiding greediness:
A leader should never be greedy. He should always share his success with others since he is only not responsible for his success. A successful leader is one who shares his success with others.
A leader is only successful when he follows these points. A leader is some whom everyone relays on. Therefore he should always be a role model for everyone.

Don't know what kinds of hills you deal with out in bluegrass country but, yeah, hills make the difference between a suffer-fest and a fun century ride. I'm just trying to get back into a relatively faster flat century this year and then take on a hillier one next year. Since I don't have a cycle computer, Carmichael's book probably wouldn't be useful but I'm hoping my winter dumbbell routine will help my knees for the hills.
And I'm trying to work around an even more restrictive time schedule than the OP since I work the second shift. So I'll have to make my short Wednesday ride an interval one rather than just pushing a heavier gear than I do on my weekends. Hoping the squats and intervals allow me a to maintain a little more power on my longer rides.
Also will have the luxury of sub 40 gear inches on my old bike this year with a new gearing setup. We'll see how that helps on the hills. Plan to be be using this winter's build for my flatter Wednesday wind-sprint rides.
If I try to get too ambitious too fast, after the decade layoff and on limited time, it kinda takes the fun out of it as well as risking overdoing it.
I'd also like to think I can generate a field test over 157W.
But ultimately this my true motivation:
Their women are sometimes still passing me for now.
My pleas that I shouldn't have to help take down Xmas decorations because today is a rest day fell on deaf ears :lol:
Tomorrow the schedule calls for 45 minutes at around 80W, which won't feel like much, but Tuesday calls for several higher intensity intervals. I've also had half my Monday morning schedule cancel because of Icemeggedon (N+1) in the AM. Should be an interesting day.
Chris Carmichael
The Ultimate ride
Avoiding Over Training
Basically I try to do this by pretty much keeping it fun including the hard work. But as someone who has set myself back before, I'd say it's important to know the early signs so that your recovery/set-back time from over training will be shorter.
Everyone is a little different in this regard including top athletes. Some times you might want to modify someone else's program to fit your recovery needs as you become more familiar with yourself in this regard. And if you're intent on a rigorous routine, sometimes you have to cross the line of overdoing it just to find out where your limits are.
Good point. I thought that was why I did the field test. My "endurance ride" involves so little wattage, some of you could probably do it in your sleep.
Maybe it's actually best that I don't know what a watt is or how many I put out. It would probably cause deep depression and over training if I did.
Volts * Watts = Amps
Featured video.
Format: some guy's training ride in Mallorca.
Cinematography: C-. Better quality with my Go Pro.
Soundtrack:B-. Eurotrash meets disco fury.
Distraction value: C-. Counted down the seconds the entire ride.
Overall: C-. I gave them a thumbs up. I give almost everyone a thumbs up on YouTube.
Watt: momentary measure of power, like how much you're putting out right this instant.
Joules: how much work (moving stuff from point a to point b) you do when you stack all the watts together.
kJoules: how much work we cyclists generate.
Calories: how much energy it takes to do the work.
Interestingly, we generate far more heat than work, so it takes lots of calories to generate kJoules.
Why it's important: hey, I ain't no engineer.
FWIW, I think you can actually train up pretty quickly, if you can find a way to include it in a daily regimen. I trained for the 508 (which turned out to be 353) in only 5 weeks. But I did that by turning my daily commute into a time-trial, and doing 250+ mile weekends until the race itself.
You know the rule ... if you can do X comfortably, you can do 2X with reasonable discomfort. Train to do X comfortably.
As far as hills, I have the following advice:
1. If you have weight to lose, go for it. It really does help.
2. Learn to pedal in circles. It makes a huge difference.
3. Get low enough gears so you can do #2 comfortably.
4. Embrace Velomanti Rule #5 . :D
4X6SS today. Put away wet.
As an engineer I'll put in the following:
1. Ohm's Law:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm%27s_law
2. "BFN-Engineers" law of riding distance:
If one rides a many, many miles that is a Watt of miles.
If one rides a whole lot more than many miles that is a Whole Watt of miles
If one only rides a few miles, less than many miles, that is a Widdle bit of miles.
SS = steady state, riding near but just under lactic threshhold. 6 minutes, 5 minute rest, then do it again three more times.
Sounds like a good trainer workout.
[QUOTE=Road Fan;16377797....
Biggest challenge is winter training. The plan I'm making has us starting base/endurance training (indoor or outdoor rides in a growth pattern designed by Mike and Dede Barry) .....[/QUOTE]
When the weather outside is sub zero and there is snow and ice on the roads, from November/ December to March, what's the training/ riding/ zen routine.
Would be interested in Mike Barry's "growth pattern"; Le Métier?
Of course if one works full time, one might just have to resort to the TCC.

Imagine being able to combine two passions and forming them to create the ultimate career. Jane Gianarelli has done just that. Combining her love of interiors and her passion for creating fine art, this artist has been able to create a dream come true. In 2009, Jane launched her own firm, Jane Gianarelli Interior Design, a full service interior design business where she offered numerous services including rendering, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Her clients hailed from across the state and as far away as Arizona and Nebraska. She was busy. And successful.
Four years later, in 2013, after moving to the East Coast, Jane's Hand Drawn Rendering service was born. Upon realizing the incredible need for hand rendering, she decided to focus almost exclusively on that aspect of her business, collaborating with and garnering the respect of such top designers as Scot Meacham Wood, Erika Bonnell Interiors, Denise McGaha and Erinn V Design Group. Jane's current customer base spans coast to coast.
Her style is simple and sophisticated. Jane brings with each illustration a vision that is unique and executed in a manner that is clear, crisp and perfectly tailored – like a well-made suit that has been specifically designed for each individual client. Each rendering begins with a simple sketch and by the time of its completion, has transformed into a beautiful, frame-able fully colored work of art.
The popularity of rendering as an art form, much like everything else, had fallen to the wayside for a while, pray to modern technology. The old-school pen and ink drawings soon were replaced by digitally designed images that lacked warmth, personal touch and artistry. Perhaps everything old is indeed new again, as once again there is a high demand for the precise and beautiful art of hand-rendering as a result Jane is currently fielding calls from across the country. Some designers are looking for a way to share their visions with their clients, while others are competing for spots in various designer show houses where all submissions must be done in the form of a rendering.
Many of Jane's renderings have been featured on the websites of the designers she has collaborated with, as well as in the Washington Post.

How to get a million by spelling a word whose letters' product=1000000
If we assign number values to letters in the following way: A = 26, B = 25, C = 24 and so on until Y = 2 and Z =1, spell a word such that the product of its letters is as close to a million as possible. Explain how you went about solving this problem.
Solution Preview
At the outset, you must realise that there is no ONE correct answer/solution to this problem, because there are thousands and thousands of words which would be "MILLION dollar WORDS" i.e the product of their letters would be close to 1,000,000.
Anyway we can be slightly logical when we proceed to find such words and hope that we can come up with ONE such.
1. Firstly, we can assume that any word (however long it maybe) will have vowels. Very few words exist which are without vowels. So let us first put down the values of the vowels : A=26 ; E=22 ; I=18; O=12 and U=6.
2. What about length of the word ? Well, let us make a fair assumption ...
Solution Summary
The method of how to get a million by spelling a word whose letters' product=1000000 is discussed.
