Eight years after 'suicide' of NI ex-pat, New Zealand cops unconvinced by his demise reopen probe
An eight-year mystery over the disappearance of a Northern Ireland man in New Zealand has taken a fresh twist.
Police have reopened their investigation into the case of Matthew Alexander Hamill.
Mr Hamill, originally from Northern Ireland, went missing in October 2008.
He was last seen near Queenstown, a resort town in Otago in the south-west of New Zealand's South Island. At the time it was thought he had killed himself, after his car was discovered with a suicide note inside.
But the case took a bizarre twist a year later when police said they were not convinced that Mr Hamill was dead.
Now it can be revealed that Queenstown Police have reopened their investigation. Officers have appealed for anyone who has seen Mr Hamill since October 2008 to contact them.
Mr Hamill was 59 when he went missing, and was married with a family.
It is understood he left Northern Ireland at a young age and was well-travelled.
He was a manager at one of the country's most exclusive resorts. When he disappeared on October 29, 2008, he left a suicide note in his unlocked car.
Extensive land and river searches took place, but his body was never found.
On the morning of his disappearance, Mr Hamill had gone to work at the exclusive Millbrook resort, where he was food and beverage controller.
The last confirmed sighting of him was that afternoon, purchasing weed killer from a local store.
His silver Mitsubishi Diamante was found unlocked at the Roaring Meg power station lookout.
"Inside was a note indicating he was going to take his own life and some personal items were found by the bank of the river," Detective Matt Jones of Queenstown police said at the time.
It is believed the weed killer was also found at the river bank.
Staff at Millbrook said there was no hint of what was going to happen in the days leading up to his disappearance.
In December 2009, police reopened investigations into his death amid suspicions that he could still be alive. There had been no sightings of Mr Hamill and no activity in his bank accounts since his disappearance.
However, this week Detective Jones, of Queenstown police CIB, released a statement appealing for help in tracing him.
"Indications from the area where he went missing are that Mr Hamill took his own life, however his body has not been recovered," the release said. "Enquiries revealed Mr Hamill appeared to travel on a regular basis to Oamaru. He also has ties in Auckland and in Vietnam.
"Queenstown Police are interested to hear from anyone with information on Mr Hamill's disappearance and anyone who believes they may have sighted him after October 30, 2008."
The case has echoes of the 'canoeist' case in England.
Former teacher and prison officer John Darwin turned up alive in December 2007, five years after he was believed to have died in a canoeing accident. He faked his death to claim life insurance money and planned to move with his wife to Panama.

Fayetteville, NC (PressExposure) July 21, 2011 -- Former 25 Year Wall Street Executive - DL Rogers is redefining what it takes to be an effective manager in the new millennium. If you are an executive, senior manager or growing business owner, his strategies are designed for you. After successfully building and running a 400 million dollar ($400,000,000) in premium insurance division for one of Wall Street's top Banks for 7 years, Mr. Rogers started providing executive business coaching services to emerging business owners and top level managers.
Presently, with the current nature of the economy, more and more companies are turning to business strategy consulting to maximize the potential of their leadership. All long term business growth starts with vision, clearly defined goals, measurable objectives and effective management. Business success centers around the willingness for executives, senior managers and business owners to improve their management skills.
The majority of business people are struggling to continually move their organizations forward. As a result they have limited time to plan for the future. To become a high performing organization you have to bring your entire staff together and have them on the same page with you. The new model for being effective in the 21st century requires some basic changes in approach. The keys being effectively communicating your goals and vision, providing quality training, having clear management processes and building a culture with a commitment to continuous improvement.
In order to really be effective, the new millennium manager will have to adopt new methods of planning, organizing, empowering and supporting their employees/staff. Gone are the days of just "winging it". You may be able to survive. However, you will not be able to grow and thrive in the new economy.
You must adopt new changes in your overall management style, strategy and process or you may find yourself out of a job or your company out of business. Here's a great quote from one of Mr. Rogers' Email Signature - "If you don't like change you will like irrelevance even less" - Major General Eric Shednicki (ret.)
One of RMC's clients stated - "DL really helped bring clarity to my situation. With that clarity I am able to make quicker decisions and with greater confidence." Another client said, "I really enjoy working with DL. His methods are clear and straight forward - No BS - just effective!"
The new executive business coaching and effective management training for the new millennium is expected to be release later this summer. Due to the concentrated nature of this training, the program will be limited to a small group of executives, senior managers and business owners.

The Boston Red Sox produced 23 hits collectively in yesterdays slug fest against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. The 18-10 win completed the two game sweep, putting the Sox just a half game behind the Yankees in the AL East standings. Victor Martinez led Boston with five hits and four RBI'S in his second game with the Sox. Jacoby Ellsbury had two hits and scored four runs, as Kevin Youkilis drove in two off three hits to contribute to Boston's high-powered offense. Both sluggers have been on a roll lately, showing outstanding play on Friday nights game as well. Not only did Ellsbury hit 3-for-5 with a homer, but also robbed Baltimore's Luke Scott with a leaping catch in deep center field in the 6th. Youkilis belted a two run blast in the 7th to give the Sox the 6-5 lead after Jacoby's defensive heroics.
Boston looks to continue their streak at Tampa Bay this Tuesday and Wednesday for two games against the Rays before squaring off against the Yankees for a three game series.
Red Sox regular season tickets are now available with us at AceTicket.com!

Published: Saturday 21st March 2015 by The News Editor
Iran's president has proclaimed that a nuclear agreement is in reach, as a deadline looms for a preliminary accord.
Iranian President Hassan Rohani said "achieving a deal is possible" by the March 31 target date that is meant to lead to a final deal by the end of June that would scale back Tehran's nuclear programmes in exchange for sanctions relief.
However US Secretary of State John Kerry was more circumspect, as he spoke to reporters after six days of negotiations in the Swiss city of Lausanne. The talks, made "substantial progress," he said, but "important gaps remain".
"We have an opportunity to get this right," Mr Kerry said, as he urged Iran to make "fundamental decisions" that prove to the world it has no interest in atomic weapons.
But Iran's supreme leader warned against expectations that even a done deal would mend the more than three-decade freeze between the two nations in place since the Iranian revolution and siege of the American Embassy, proclaiming that Washington and Tehran remained on opposite sides on most issues.
"Negotiations with America are solely on the nuclear issue and nothing else. Everyone has to know that," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a crowd in northeastern Iran on the first day of the Persian new year. "We do not talk with US over regional issues. In the regional issues, America's goals are completely opposed to our goals."
In a reflection of the delicate state of negotiations, other officials differed on how close the sides were to a deal.
Top Russian negotiator Sergey Ryabkov and Iran's atomic energy chief Ali Akbar Salehi said in recent days that technical work was nearly done. But French officials insisted the sides were far from any agreement.
Mr Kerry was departing later today to meet with European allies in London, in part to ensure unity, before returning to Washington. Mr Kerry said the US and its five negotiating partners – Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia – are "united in our goal, our approach, our resolve and our determination".
But France, which raised last minute objections to an interim agreement reached with Iran in 2013, could threaten a deal again. It is particularly opposed to providing Iran with quick relief from international sanctions and wants a longer timeframe for restrictions on Iran's nuclear activity.
"France wants an agreement, but a robust agreement," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told French radio. "That is to say, an accord that really guarantees that Iran can obviously have access to the civil nuclear (program)."
"But to the atomic bomb? No."
Mr Kerry said the US wasn't rushing into a pact, stressing that the latest stab at a diplomatic settlement with Iran has gone on for two and a half years.
"We don't want just any deal," he said. "If we had, we could have announced something a long time ago."
But, he added, decisions "don't get any easier as time goes by".
"It's time to make hard decisions," Mr Kerry said. "We want the right deal that would make the world, including the United States and our closest allies and partners, safer and more secure. And that is our test."

Big Thicket National Preserve Presentation on September 14th at Houston Shepherd
Wednesday, September 14th at 7pm
Houston Shepherd store
On Wednesday, September 14th at our Houston Shepherd store, Josh Stringer of the Big Thicket National Preserve will give a presentation at 7pm on the Preserve, one of the most biodiverse areas in the world outside of the tropics. In 1981, it was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. The Preserve includes nine uniquely diverse ecosystems as well as six water corridors where nature flourishes. Centered around Hardin County, Texas, it extends into parts of surrounding Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Orange, Polk, and Tyler counties and offers hiking and biking trails as well as waterways for paddling.
Josh Stringer is the Centennial Coordinator at Big Thicket National Preserve and will be providing special events throughout the Preserve. He retired from the Army in 2015 after 21 years of service and hopes to inspire us to visit our National Parks.
We hope you'll join us to learn more about this amazing Preserve, that's practically on our doorstep!

We were greeted by the lady who runs the resort "mama" with a warm smile and welcome before being shown to our room. This was a lovely bungalow with a sea view and within throwing distance to the beach front. The section of beach the hotel is situated is by far the nicest along that stretch of sand. This is because there a few reeds not too far from the coast which get washed up every morning and whilst these remain along most of the beach, the Sea Scene staff make sure the area directly outside the resort is spotless. The room was very basic and we had to ask for room service and clean sheets/towels after three days since no-one had been along to do it. The food at the resort was very good, for the most part. We had three excellent meals and one that was less so. This warm, family run resort had won us over by the end of our stay and we were very sad to leave

Is it ok to put carpet onto wood floors?
When moving to a different property which has wooden floors is it ok to put carpet onto them or take up wood floor first?
Asked on Aug 6 2013, Home Improvement in Shetland | Report content
Answers (1)
Hi dmott01btinternetcom, There are a number of different thoughts about this one, but generally, you can put carpet over a hardwood floor if you want to. Many people opt to use large rugs as an alternative though, because if the job is not done right, the carpet will move and become ruffled as people walk over it. One option you will have is to put down underlay before the carpet goes on the floor. This is a rubber layer that will basically stop the carpet from moving as much on the floor, however, there can still be some movement when using this. The other option you will have will be to use a tack strip around the edge that essentially holds the carpet in place. The biggest problem with this choice is that if anyone ever wants to go back to using the hardwood floors, the tack strips can leave damage that is noticeable. Many thanks, ScottAnswered on Aug 12 2013, Report content

DEKALB CO., Ga – While a bridge on I-85 will reopen less than two months after its collapse, work another bridge project involving a separate contractor will take almost a year longer than expected.
Work to rebuild the Flat Shoals Road bridge over I-285 started about two years ago. Curtis Allen says it has disrupted his weekly drive to church.
"I'm traveling two miles out of the way to get to church, and two miles extra on the way back," says Allen. "You want the road to be widened, quite frankly, it's just the longevity of this project."
A GDOT contractor is adding turn lanes, bike lanes, and widening the ramps to the overpass. When it all kicked off, GDOT gave the contractor until September of this year to finish. According to the GDOT website, the project is about 60-percent complete.
The delays are completely unrelated to the unprecedented amount of resources the state poured into the rebuilding of I-85.
"We've run into some unexpected utility conflicts, and that's what's pushed the project back," says GDOT's Natalie Dale.
The contractor had to ask for an extension when workers ran into underground utilities in places they didn't expect. GDOT has now given the contractor until July of 2018 to finish.
"It's not ideal for us in situations where we're trying to get a project completed on time, but it's not unheard of for unmarked utilities to delay a project," says Dale.
After months getting caught in the snarl of traffic, orange cones, and heavy equipment, Curtis Allen is now finding alternate routes to church.

Biographical Information[edit]
Placido Polanco was an excellent fielder, contact hitter and free swinger who had a high career batting average despite a fairly average on-base percentage. On October 14, 2006, Polanco was named MVP of the 2006 ALCS after the Detroit Tigers swept the Oakland A's. His batting average for the ALCS was .529, he had 9 hits and knocked in 2 runs.
On August 13, 2007, Polanco broke Luis Castillo's record of 144 consecutive error-free games at second base; the two streaks had overlapped for the most part as Castillo's had gone from May 2006 to June 2007 and Polanco's from July 2006 to August 2007. Polanco's streak reached 911 chances and 186 games before he had a throwing error on April 8, 2008. He also held the single-season record, with 141 errorless games in 2007; that mark was tied by Darwin Barney in 2012.
Polanco's excellence in fielding was evident by reputation and statistics. Besides the three Gold Gloves he won, two at second base and one at third base, Polanco also holds the major league record for highest career fielding percentage at both positions.

What Ann Romney Said…
Ann Romney recently responded to a snarky comment about her life as a stay at home Mom. Without going into the politics of it, she did acknowledge how difficult it is to be a stay at home Mom, even with the financial resources of being a Romney.
But, is that enough? How similar was her life as compared to yours, if you stay at home to raise your kids? What financial challenges do you face, what sacrifices do you make to sustain your life without Ann Romney's family wealth? Were you a professional career woman who changed "careers" to be with your kid's, does your husband/partner have the wherewithal to support your growing family? Is he/she vulnerable to layoff's in this continuing poor economy, perhaps requiring you to find work outside of your home?
Perhaps you have researched work at home positions to ease the financial strain and generate some income as a fallback plan. Did you find anything worth pursuing that would truly add to the family finances while leaving you with the time necessary to spend with the children?
It is likely that you encountered more scams and schemes than legitimate opportunity. Unfortunately, that's how it is, mostly. But, not always.
There are legitimate home business opportunities out there, but they are not always the most noticeable. Some are quietly helping regular families, like yours, to add to their incomes while leaving more than enough time for them to enjoy their life choices. Some families have even gone on to make it their only source of income!
Any legitimate business, large or small, takes dedication and time to build. But how much time depends on your honest efforts to reach out to other's in similar situations, or develop effective marketing to find receptive prospects. Productive time to build your business can be found when your children are napping, at school, at play. Time on the playground can be used to talk with other Mom's who may also be searching for financial relief and are receptive to your activities.
The ideal home business is one that offers consumable products, ideally green oriented, and offers all of the back of the house systems you should expect like direct delivery to your customers, online payment systems, order tracking and direct deposit of your compensation.
But, how do you choose such a product partner? Here are a few suggestions, look for a company that has been in business for some time. Avoid new companies, or ones that make aggressive claims about their products. Work only with a true manufacturer, not a reseller of other's products.
And, that manufacturer must also be the developer of their own products, so look for how many researchers they employ, if they are offering nutrition products, even how many papers they have published in legitimate peer reviewed magazines.
Finally, how much will you make for your efforts. After all, you are doing this to help your family, so you want as generous a compensation plan as you can find!
Congratulations on choosing to be at home with your children, It is a choice that few families are making, but it is one that is important! Make it a little less financially perilous by taking a look at work at home opportunities, including one here!

Military &ets in rexas Zurig
rhe CMii War, 1861-1865
N THE VOLUMINOUS WRITINGS on the Civil War, little attention
has been given to the military events of the war in the Trans-
Mississippi region, especially the southwestern section of the
United States. Although it cannot be disputed that the eastern
portion of the United States was the battleground of the war, the
numerous military incidents in the West indicate that the Trans-
Mississippi section was of some importance during the Civil War.
The compilation of nearly one hundred military events in more
than sixty different places will help to reveal the extent of the war
in Texas and the Southwest.
The list of military activities in Texas, compiled from the War
of the Rebellion: Official Records of the Union and Confederate
Armies and presented herewith, does not include any military
events which are not described in the official documents. The
location of each military event is identified by the type of inci-
dent and the date on which it occurred. Standard military terms
from the Army Regulations and Rules of War of the Confederate
States are used to describe the various types of military activities.
The following definitions of terms will aid the reader in using this
list of military events:
Abandoned: To give over or surrender completely.
Action: Stresses the idea of active, frequently sharp, offensive
and defensive operations.
Affair: A fight.
Attack: Implies aggression or aggressiveness and literally the
initiation of a struggle; opposed to defense; onslaught.
Bombardment: An attack with artillery; to assail vigorously or
Capture: To seize by force or stratagem.
Descent: Incursion; sudden attack; onslaught.

The Essential Laws of Pets Explained
How Important Dog Kennels Are?
If you're thinking of getting a dog or a puppy, then no doubt that you got to do research on how you can train them to ensure that they'd be a wonderful addition to your house. The reason why it is effective to teach your canine to behave in kennels is because of the fact that when your pup is in its kennel, it is less likely to get into something it shouldn't be elsewhere in the house. There are so many puppies who die as a result of eating something that is poisonous in their health for the first year of being in their owner's home.
There are some people who actually think that dog kennels are mean or cruel. Well in reality, if you get a kennel that is right for the size of your dog, it will be a safe place that they would look forward to every day. Due to the reason that dogs started in dens and caves, the kennel communicates with the instincts of the dog to be comfortably tucked away in small space.
But one question to which many dog owners wonder is on how they can find the right dog kennel size. Well a general rule to be followed here is to get a kennel that's big enough to let your dog to stand and even turn around to eat. As much as possible, steer clear of kennels that are too big as this may possibly cause anxiety to your dog. Dogs have a tendency to have easier time to relax when they have enough room to move and eat whether you believe it or not.
Where To Start with Pets and More
Say for example that you have finally decided on a dog kennel, you should get few accessories that should be put inside it. If you have a puppy, put a towel or a blanket in the kennel that smells like you to be able to avoid separation anxiety from your pup. This would remind them of you and be comforted since dogs rely heavily on scent. In addition to that, allot some time to let your dog get used to the kennel especially if this is your first time to put your dog inside it.
Pets – Getting Started & Next Steps
You shouldn't leave your canine alone in the kennel for extended period of time especially if this is its first time to be put inside it. Instead, you should do this process gradually to make it a success. It must be supervised every now and then when getting your dog to be used in a kennel. And at the same time, only let them out after they stopped whining or barking.

Urban Emergency Rooms: A Cocaine Nightmare
Published: August 6, 1989
(Page 3 of 3)
Court rulings in certain states, including California, prohibit involuntary medication of mental patients. In some cases, hospital workers said, this has increased the risk faced by staff members who treat cocaine-induced psychosis. Doctors said they could be cited for giving anti-psychotic medications to violent patients, but some do it anyway.
''The court is not in the emergency room with someone trying to kill them,'' Dr. Connell said. ''If I have to medicate them I medicate them. If I have to hit them I hit them.''
Dr. From agreed, and asked: ''Do they expect us to go back to cold-sheeting patients and putting them in ice tubs?''
Some psychiatric patients are faking, pretending to be suicidal or violent, and thus requiring observation, when they really want a safe haven from dealers dunning them for money or threatening their lives.
''They tell you, 'I'll kill myself if you put me out,' '' said Ms. Doss, the psychiatric nurse. ''Meanwhile, they're on the phone looking for money and asking if the coast is clear.'' The Good News Comes Too Rarely
A small number of the patients do ask for help in shaking their addiction - 10 to 15 percent, according to several doctors' estimates. A much smaller number receive it; out-patient drug treatment rarely works and in-patient treatment is rarely available.
Mr. Daniels, the social worker, said, ''It's gotten to the point where I don't bother to call'' seeking treatment slots. Steve Brummett, a social worker in the psychiatric emergency room, said he had placed only three people in drug treatment in nearly two years.
One of them is Ramona Owens, a 30-year-old recovering crack addict, who tells a typical tale of degradation, of selling herself on the street and fencing her aunt's new vacuum cleaner to feed her habit.
Then she attempted suicide and wound up in the emergency room. ''It didn't look like I was going anywhere but death,'' she said. ''I couldn't get me no help. My mom put me out and called the police on me.''
She had tried out-patient treatment before and failed. ''On the street you can do good for a minute or so, but you always mess up,'' she said.
Instead, Mr. Brummett found a place for her in an alcohol treatment program that accepts people with multiple addictions. ''If he wouldn't have found this place for me, God knows where I'd be today,'' Ms. Owens said in an interview at the treatment center.
But such successes are rare. And the failures are devastating to patients, staff members and families.
Dr. Dailey, for example, has left for a private hospital, and a permanent replacement has not been found, despite a nationwide search.
For a while, Dr. Dailey said, the work here was exciting and interesting, in part because of the fascination of ''the netherworld.'' But when that wears thin, he said, ''you're left with the facts, left with the interminable line of shattered human beings.''
''Once you see that, you're finished,'' he said. ''You can't do it anymore.''
Crack families also burn out and begin to ''triage themselves,'' by casting out the unruly, thieving drug abuser, Dr. Connell said. ''I hear mothers say, 'I got to let this one go because I got another one I can save,' '' the doctor said. ''Sometimes I call and they say 'Keep the boy,' and hang up the phone.''

Roy's - La Jolla Ratings and Reviews
I've gone to Roy's many times and always had a great experience with their foods. Always left happy. I bought a Groupon deal and thought it would be nice to try. This was the first time I was unhappy. My boyfriend ordered the Waygu burger and asked for rare plus. It came medium and I asked for the Mahi Mahi and it was over cooked. I will have to give them credit for great costumer service. The manager came over to apologize and offered us to come back on another Groupon deal on him. So that was very nice of them. We were ok with out foods in spite of it not being done right because the favors of the foods was exceptional and made up for being over cooked.
My wife and I bought the four-course meal from livingsocial. The appetizer was very good, sushi. The salad was not very good my wife didn't even finish hers. The dressing they put on the salad wasn't that good. The main entree was very good, I believe it was Whitefish. The desert appeared to be store bought and not very good. Overall I thought it was a good meal but not a very good value for the prices they charge. The service was very very good. The manager was somewhat flexible with my wife because she has a lot of dietary restrictions. He did charge us $10 extra for the new entree but at least it addressed the problem.
I have dined at Roy's 20-30 times and always been pleased with everything. This time I wasn't. When my martini came, it only filled 1/3 of the glass. I complained and the waitress countered with "that's the way they do it, a shot and 1/2." I dine out a lot and have never been served a martini that was not at least double their pour. I complained again and the manager came over and explained it was their policy to pour that amount. He was nice about it and no doubt had not made the policy himself. My chicken was overcooked as well, but in fairness my date loved her fish.
Upon entering the restaurant one can smell the deodorizer from the bathroom.
Appetizer and salad took a long time. One salad was forgotten about. The quality of the salad was awful. Wilted lettuce, small portion for the price charged. Quality of entres and desert very poor for the price paid. Ambience more like a fast food chain restaurant than one that charges $35-40 avg for an entre. Do not recommend and will never go back. I don't fault the the server or the manager who tried their best to apologize and make up for the poor overall experience
food is always fabulous - the filet and lobster tail combo divine. seemed like the wait staff was under staffed. had to make multiple requests - lobster butter and potato not delivered w/ meal. busboy was snarky when we had additional requests. was a birthday celebration but no indication from restaurant. wine pours were very skimpy and disappointing. we love roys for special occasions and hope this was the exception and not a decline in service.
Food was quite good overall but was a little disappointed with the Osso Buco in the 4-course chef's tasting menu. It was a little tough, not tender but it still had a good flavor to it.
For me, the first appetizer of the chilled Vietnamese Lobster eggroll was not good.
The rest of our party's meals were good with the exceptional desserts...
We haven't been to this location before. It was clean and nicely decorated but needs an update. The menu needs to be refreshed. The appetizers were overwhelmed with ginger.
They have this log of a cake made with dates. That's a big no. We sent it back. It came with the chef's choice menu. Please take that off and never serve it again.
The oso buco was slightly dry so i had to ask for a side of sauce which is also doused in ginger. Does the chef not taste these things?
The only thing that was awesome was the service and the butter fish. Loved the butter fish!
We paid $133+ dinner for 2 and it was just ok.
If Roy's is going to survive then it needs a facelift in everything. Menu and decor.
We were seated at a nice table by the windows. Our server Britney was attentive and brought us the best 1988s we have ever had at Roy's over so many years. Our thanks poured out to Michelle, the barkeep. The Edamame, served upon request, paired nicely with the cocktails. The lobster in the Lobster Potstickers was slightly tough. The Sea Scallops were perfectly done but the wild rice that accompanied it was a little too coarse to pair nicely. The Hibachi Style Salmon was excellent and combined wonderfully well with the accompanying rice. Overall, a sumptuous experience.
Went there with the wife and no kids! Food was fantastic, but we knew that since this is our second visit. Fish is so fresh and delicious. Unfortunately, we were seated next to the kitchen and that was horrendous. Noise level was unbearable (85dBs with peak at 95dBs) and that made the whole experience very disappointing.
We love your food! Always choose this place for special events. I was sad that your specialty cocktails from 2 years ago has changed dramatically, which used to have a type of cucumber martini with a delicate flavor. The drinks were so good then; but on this menu some of the drinks had too many items in them. Just my opinion. We will return.
Disappoint evening, after being seated it was 10 minutes before we were acknowledged. It then took an additional 15 minutes to get our drinks. We ordered a sushi roll to share as appetizer and took over 30 minutes to arrive. A server brought a tempura roll to our table after 25 minutes and apologized that our appetizer was taking so long and that it was componentry. The tempura roll would have taken longer to make than our original order. All in all it was over an hour before we received our meals after we ordered. When our food arrived, it was obvious that it had been sitting around. Asparagus was wilted and dry, butter on the stake had solidified, all food was room temp. Service was the slowest I have seen in a long time.
We have been to Roy's in Hawaii and thought we would try the local Roy's in La Jolla as we were interested in having fish for dinner. The menu was somewhat limited and when we asked if we could have a piece of grilled fish, the server said that is not usually how it is prepared and most of the fish would not work well just grilled. He recommended the butter fish (cod) which he said was the best item. It was a very traditional preparation and certainly not something you couldn't order elsewhere. I split that and the scallops with a friend....rather than having a split piece of the 9oz codfish, we were given two end pieces that were probably used for the mixed grill item on the menu. The scallops, were small and overcooked. The lobster potstickers we had as a starter were very good, but incredibly fried and rich. The dessert options included what they referred to as a chocolate soufflé....but when we saw them being bought out to other diners, inquired as to whether it was actually just a molten cake(it was).
We were very hungry when we arrived and after waiting for our first course for a bit, asked if we could have some bread, etc. to snack on while waiting. The server said he would bring complimentary edamame (which was delicious)...but I don't think that would not have been offered unless we asked.
Everything felt like being in a chain restaurant where all the dishes are uniform. The bill was expensive for this experience. I would go back there for a drink or happy hour, but as a place for a nice dinner....would look elsewhere.
In a word,... disappointed. For over 20 years I've been going to the Roy's on Maui and the Big Island and it has been spectacular! The La Jolla experience was awful. Service was horrible, it took 47 mins to get our appetizer and the tuna was NOT fresh, asparagus was undercooked, the shrimp was over overcooked. We complained and they comp'd our appetizer and a dessert. Needless to say we won't be going back. The experience left us feeling that the $140 we paid for our meal was a rip off. So sad because I was so looking forward to it.
The dinner service here is unsatisfactory and unacceptable. It took 15 minutes for the server to come to our table. Another 15 to wait for the bottle of wine. We ordered appetizers and the server disappeared before we could order dinner. After 20 minutes the appetizers came but we still had our menus in front of us and then we finally ordered dinner. After the appetizers were eaten and cleared from our table, another person brought edamame and said it was to 'appease us'. (We didn't order this). Edamame after appetizers? Strange. We had gotten a bottle of wine to have with dinner, but the wait was so long the wine was done well before any entrees came.
We called over the manager to inform him of our concern with the wait and he gave us a $50 card to use next time. Entrees cost an average of $40. A bottle of wine is well over $50. For these prices, I expect stellar service which is not happening at this restaurant. So many good restaurants in San Diego. Unfortunately this is not one of them.
A Travelzoo prepaid package. Arrived early seated at 6:30 pm. 6:45 waiter came by for drink orders. 6:55 drinks arrive appetizer ordered. 7:18 complained to manager that over 45 mins there and no appetizer and not heard from waiter from waiter in almost 25 minutes.
7:30 appetizer arrives from manager. 7:40 waiter finally appears I asked him where he'd been his response was "waiting other tables, where have you been" ? Really ?
If I hadn't prepaid this My wife would have left much earlier. Manager did give us a complimentary appetizer and round of drinks. And somewhat apologized. And gave us a gift card $20.
Look at the timeline. Will never go back here again.
Service was very slow, This was a Sunday evening , past 8:30 PM. THE RESTAURANT WAS BEGINNING TO THIN OUT. We started with a Lettuce Wedge Salad. This did not arrive until 35 minutes had past. The product was well made, appetizing and enjoyable.
Then, we waited 40 minutes for Spicy Pork Spare Ribs to arrive. They were meaty, tender and "finger lickn" good.
If the preparation and serving times were within reason, Roy's would rate four stars.
I reccommend that Roy's Management maintain a kitchen expediter to speed up the preparation and service of their simpler foods.
Was on travelzoo coupon - disappointed w/ limited selections on special menu - chicken and hamburger were disappointing choices. Food is always flavorful - just not enough selection for travelzoo coupon. Found the restaurant warm, management said temp was as cool as they could get it.
We've been here before but this time were a bit disappointed in the service. Our waiter, while nice enough, seemed to be spread thin. Our coffee and water were not refilled unless we asked and at one point we didn't get a refill at all. Not our typical experience.
This evening was a celebration of our 37th Anniversary,I had gotten a Groupon but got worried when I read a few bad reviews among many good ones. My worries were put to rest when we were greeted very pleasantly then escorted to our table complete with a Happy 37th Anniversary card awaiting us! Our waiter,Charles,took such excellent care of all our needs,my drink was delicious,the spring rolls hot and crunchy with a fantastic sauce,salad fresh and delicious. My macadamia crusted mahi was perfectly cooked and my husband's burger was not only awesome looking...he couldn't put it down it was so delicious! Even his shoestring fries were so yummy we ate every one! Charles upgraded our shared dessert(special nod to our anniversary) to their signature chocolate souffle with raspberry coulis and vanilla ice cream,again delightful! We had an absolutely wonderful dinner and will be back again!
We got there early for our dinner reservation and so started with happy hour at the bar. Mango mojito and lobster potstickers were great. Dinner was also good as usual. We like this location better than the downtown seaport village location. Easier to get to and the decor is better. I had the miso butterfish and my husband had the chef tasting menu. They were both great.
Server asked after every delivery "How great was that?" "Was that tasty?" which says to me you don't want to hear otherwise. So we were unhappy and left unhappy because it felt it would be uncomfortable (disruptive to the date) to ask for something different.
We've been to a few Roy's in Hawaii and this, unfortunately, was a disappointing comparison. The restaurant was too warm, the food was ok (but a bit over-priced), and the ambiance was so-so. To their credit, they did try to make it right, but we still won't be returning to this location.

Unanswered: SQL Server won't autostart
I have been using SQL Server 2000 for a couple of days now, and it's been autostarting with the OS. Today I renamed the computer (gave it a new network name) and now my SQL Server won't autostart. I can start it manually without any problems with the Service manager. The option to autostart is checked but it still won't run when I restart the computer. Can anyone tell me what I should do to fix this?

Google have clearly stated they are not collecting data. Test the new factors for yourself – the data does not lie.
Although Google have announced that Penguin is now updated continously which is both a good & bad thing. Bad because you can get caught quicker, good because you can recover quicker.
Bing also announced the role of content quality in their results which fits hand in hand with these Bing SEO & ranking factors tips.

CHANGES IN NUTRITIONAL QUALITY OF FOOD PRODUCT OFFERINGS AND PURCHASES: A CASE STUDY IN THE MID-1990's
This report provides a new economic approach and methodology for analyzing nutritional quality change in manufacturers' food product offerings and food products purchased using a case study of five food product categories in the mid-1990's. Two approaches were used to analyze nutritional quality change in product offerings. The first approach uses a composite nutritional index to measure changes. A second approach, nutrient-by-nutrient analysis, was also used to measure quality change. Overall, the nutrition index analysis showed no significant change in the average nutritional quality of products offered for sale in the five categories.

A Case for LEED-ND: The LEED Platinum Suburban Office Park
"I recently toured the Great River Energy company headquarters in Maple Grove, MN, which is the first building in Minnesota to receive the "LEED-Platinum" classification from the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED-Platinum classification is intended to represent the highest achievement in sustainable building practices. The Great River building gets 15% of its energy from on-site wind and solar power, collects rainwater for on-site re-use, and used a multitude of recylced and locally-sourced materials in its construction. All of this is very admirable. The only problem? The building is essentially just another auto-dependent suburban office park located in a sea of congested roads, huge parking lots, and big-box chain retail stores."
Thanks to Jeff Wood

Government urged not to make EU referendum a political football
Football will be the focus for voters if the Government opts to hold the EU referendum during Euro 2016, ministers have been warned.
Democratic Unionist deputy leader Nigel Dodds told the Commons the clash is "another good argument" for the EU referendum to be held later than June.
He a lso insisted extra costs will be incurred if the two events take place simultaneously due to the number of English, Welsh and Northern Irish fans travelling to France who will require postal and proxy votes.
The Belfast North MP later labelled claims that Irish republican terrorism could increase due to a British exit from the EU as "absurd nonsense".
Mr Dodds told MPs he would prefer the in/out referendum on Britain's membership of the EU to take place in autumn 2016 rather than June 23, which has been mooted by some MPs as the potential date.
Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish politicians are worried the elections in their countries scheduled for May 5 will be overshadowed by a June EU referendum.
They have also raised concerns about how the administrations in their countries will operate due to two elections being held so close together and believe it will affect the ability of parties to campaign.
A motion tabled by the DUP warns a June date risks "contaminating the result" of the EU referendum and calls for a "full and comprehensive" debate.
MPs heard a European Council meeting is also scheduled for June 23.
Speaking during an opposition day debate, Conservative Mark Spencer (Sherwood) told Mr Dodds: " I just wonder if your constituents will be paying more attention to the European Council meeting on June 23 or the Northern Ireland fixture against Ukraine on June 16, and actually maybe your constituents have got other things in their life rather than Europe as a constant feature in their psyche."
Mr Dodds replied: "(As DUP MP Gregory Campbell) says from a sedentary position, it's not an either/or - people are well capable of watching the football, listening to the political debate and doing other things.
"Let's face it, if we're going to have these issues just because the Government has chosen to foist the EU referendum on us at a time when the European Championships are taking place then people will want to concentrate on the football. That's another good argument for having this debate later.
"And given the fact that so many fans from England, Wales and Northern Ireland - sadly not Scotland - will be travelling to France, it's another good reason to avoid all the extra costs of postal votes and proxy votes and all the rest of it to have it on a different date."
Mr Spencer, intervening for a second time, added to Mr Dodds: "So given that you accept the good people of Northern Ireland can focus on more than one thing at once - they can focus on the football and politics - surely they can focus on whether they've got local elections and the European referendum at the same time?"
Mr Dodds replied: "It isn't an issue about the voters being confused or anything. It's a bit patronising to talk in those terms.
"I think it's the Government's deliberate choice to rush the referendum on that date."
Alex Salmond, the SNP's international affairs and Europe spokesman, noted Northern Irish voters are "quite capable" of concentrating on Euro 2016 and politics - joking the Scots "envy" this position due to Scotland's failure to qualify.
The former first minister added the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish administrations will be in purdah if the EU referendum is held on June 23 for 10 out of 13 weeks.
Mr Dodds a lso agreed with concerns about how the devolved administrations will operate, the ability of parties to campaign on both issues and a prolonged purdah period, adding media coverage will focus on EU issues rather than devolved ones.
He said he fears Prime Minister David Cameron is "rushing" the referendum rather than "getting it right".
Mr Dodds added: "I think personally the longer the debate the better, in terms of giving people the fullest and comprehensive debate, but I personally would be content to have the referendum in the autumn.
"We don't have to go until the end of 2017 but we certainly should go beyond June and not have it enmeshed with the elections we have spoken about."
Addressing "scare stories" circulating, Mr Dodds said: "What I do not accept and can hardly believe has happened from the mouths of serious figures who really should know better is the sort of absurd nonsense that somehow a British exit from the EU could in itself precipitate the rise of Irish republican terrorism again.
"It's hard to know what's worse about claims like these - that they're criminally irresponsible or that they're logically fatuous.
"Brexit will neither cause republican terrorism nor make any difference to it.
"It's cause, wrong and bad as it is, is Northern Ireland's membership of the United Kingdom - democratically decided and settled - not the UK's membership of the EU.
"So those in recent weeks who have claimed terrorism will be encouraged or facilitated by a leave vote in the EU referendum are peddling scare stories of the very worst nature, and I can only hope they are already ashamed of them and will not repeat them again."
For the Government, Cabinet Office Minister John Penrose reiterated no date has been chosen for the referendum - with MPs needing to vote on this matter.
He added a six-week buffer with May 5 elections is assured.
Mr Penrose said: "To make a statement of the blindingly obvious, the date for the referendum is not yet set.
"As the Prime Minister has been consistent in saying, it's renegotiation and then referendum - the renegotiation is not yet complete and so there is no referendum date as yet either."
The Conservative frontbencher also told MPs: "Europe is one of those issues which may be extremely exciting to a small number of people - maybe extremely exciting to a small number of people in this place and in the half a mile around us.
"But if we bang on about Europe, to use a phrase, for far too long then I think we run a risk which is to start turning people off the idea of this whole issue - important though it is.
"And having a decent period of time, one which we use to decide general elections, is something which the country is used to, it's something which the electorate is used to, it gives plenty of time for a full and in-depth discussion of the issues that need to be covered but without necessarily boring everybody to tears, and turning everybody off by the time we get to the ballot box."
Meanwhile, the SNP's Carol Monaghan warned that a mooted June 23 referendum would fall at the start of Scottish school holidays, meaning many parents would be abroad during the vote.
Holding a vote like this during English school holidays would be "unthinkable", the Glasgow North West MP added.
Intervening in Mr Penrose's speech, Ms Monaghan said: "The Scottish schools are about to go on holiday at that point and many of the electorate will be either planning or starting to take their holidays - the 22nd in some local authorities will be the date.
"It's unthinkable to have a vote of such importance during English school holidays, yet this vote could actually take place during Scottish school holidays."
For Labour, shadow foreign minister Pat Glass insisted the Government should get on with having a vote as businesses face risks caused by the uncertainty around Britain's EU membership.
Ms Glass said: "There are clearly risks to business of delay and those risks get greater the longer the delay goes on.
"There are very good arguments to support the view that as soon as the Government's renegotiations are complete they should get on with having the referendum and end this uncertainty, which is bad for the whole of the UK, for jobs, growth, investment and for working people."
Claims by the DUP that the result of the referendum would be "contaminated" if it is held in June were also entirely without foundation in evidence, Ms Glass said.
The Labour frontbencher suggested that the Eurosceptic DUP may be against an early vote because it favours the campaign to Remain in the EU.
She said: "Moving on again to the motion it says that a needlessly premature date risks contaminating the result.
"In what way would a referendum five months from now contaminate the result? If there's evidence holding a referendum on a specific date - whether that's June 2016 or September, or April 2017 - would in any way contaminate the result, or that there's a greater or lesser risk of electoral fraud, then let's see it.
"Because I haven't seen any evidence of this so I can only assume that what is meant by that statement is that a shorter campaign is more likely to lead to a stronger Remain vote."
Ms Glass added: "I for one believe that the people of the UK are perfectly capable of making the important decision in late June, a month and a half after local elections.
"To suggest otherwise in my view is patronising and disrespectful."
Alex Salmond, the former first minister of Scotland, argued that the rumoured referendum date of June 23 should be ruled out to avoid clashing with local elections in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
"People on the opposite benches don't seem to think that is a clinching argument," he said.
"Of course it's a clinching argument if we have a respect agenda encompassing the four component parts of the United Kingdom."
He quoted the poetry of Dr Seuss as he asked ministers to rule out the date.
"We are not trying to get him to name the day," he said.
"We are trying to get him to name when the day is not going to be.
"It is a question of Calculatus Eliminatus, if I could commend them to the poem: 'When you've mislaid a certain thing, keep your cool and don't get hot.
"'Calculatus Eliminatus always helps an awful lot. The way to find a missing something is to find out what it's not.'
"We are merely trying to get the Government to exclude June 23 because it conflicts with the important elections taking place in three out of the four nations of this United Kingdom."
Mr Salmond also commented on the "thoroughly depressing start" to the referendum campaign as he attacked suggestions that leaving the EU could lead to migrant camps similar to the ones in Calais being set up in the UK.
He said: "The truth is, of course, it doesn't matter. It would take at least five years to withdraw from the European treaties. By then we could have 10 times the number of refugees or indeed we could have none at all.
"No one knows how it would affect the bilateral arrangements between Britain and France.
"It is a pointless, pathetic, puerile debate, typical of what looks like it is going to be a depressing campaign - the political equivalent I would suggest of a no score draw."
Mr Salmond accused David Cameron of "gambling this country's entire European future on his sham negotiation and this shame of a campaign".
Paul Maynard, the Tory MP for Blackpool North and Cleveleys, said: "This is one of those important issues in the life of my constituents that passes the 'stop-me-in-the-street' test.
"If I'm out shopping in my local Sainsbury's, I'm already being asked what I think about this issue," he said.
"The notion that we can some how say the campaign doesn't start until we, the politicians, say it starts is, I think, rather naive.
"That campaign has started."
Mr Maynard said that "now is the time and we need to move as fast as we possibly can" towards a vote.
"My constituents are perfectly capable of thinking about it for themselves and they are desperate to have this vote," he said.
Iain Stewart, the Tory MP for Milton Keynes South, stressed that the decision on when the vote should take place must take into account a variety of factors.
He said: "There is a delicate balance to be struck between allowing a sufficient period of time for all the arguments made by both sides in the campaign properly to be explored and challenged and not having so elongated a campaign time that we either bore the electorate to death or create such a period of uncertainty that it is unhelpful for our economy."
DUP's Ian Paisley (North Antrim) said it was "absolutely essential" to have a full, frank, proper but considered debate about all of the issues.
He said: "A quick, rushed referenda will only threaten to present a debate to the public that is shaped in the most basic of arguments, that of Johnny Foreigner versus what will we get out of the EU, that is not the way to have this debate and unfortunately it appears that it's in the Government's interests to have a debate shaped in that base argument."
Mr Paisley said having limited time for a debate meant not being able to deal with issues affecting constituents such as "trade, the rural economy, the social agenda and immigration".
Tory Sir Edward Leigh (Gainsborough) intervened stating: "Isn't the worry of the stay in side (is) that they haven't got enough disinformation and nasty scares to last until September."
Mr Paisley added: "So we are expected to be fed a diet for the next number of weeks that is based upon soundbites not upon substance."
Tory Stuart Andrew (Pudsey) argued that to suggest a longer period of separation was needed from the May elections was "frankly patronising" and a period of at least six weeks from elections until the referendum was more than an adequate time.
SNP MP Stephen Gethins (North East Fife) said a thorough democratic test "does not just mean rushing this referendum within six weeks, it means having a balanced and fair opportunity to debate this important issue".
Tory David Rutley (Macclesfield) argued there would be enough time for people to think and enough information for them to make up their minds.
He spoke about a time when he was rushing to a meeting and ran the wrong way up a down escalator in a Leeds shopping centre.
He said: "Rushing is when you're having to deal with decisions within split seconds, and I can assure the House here, this is not about rushing, this is about having a conversation and a debate over weeks and indeed months."
The DUP's motion was defeated by 286 votes to 70, majority 216.
