I'm also doing a lot of reading on topics of interest. Some examples are the health benefits of mindfulness meditation, refreshing my body language skills, psychology, etc. I'm also getting back into various creative pursuits. I've been learning how to make jewelry and plan to apply that to some sculptures I plan to make, I'd like to take a drawing class, and much more. I recently started learning how to TIG weld. Etc.

"Hotel Diva in San Francisco"
Hotel Diva tries to come across as a "sexy hotel", right down to the condom in my safe and the note "safe sex" :) Still, its just another hotel, but a good one. The location, a few hundred meters from Union Square, the price, good and clean in addition to free Internet are all things makes this a good alternative for travelers. Being next door to Starbucks […] is not a bad thing either, and everything that you need is very close by. Les merVirkelige gjesteanmeldelser
"unkept hotel = poor satisfaction"
Maybe it,s just the room I got through hotels.com? Mine was barely big enough for the bed. And while the staff was charming, this room was, well... not. Crawled under the bed and desk to find an available outlet... Tv remote did not work. Elevators were rickety where the ride only came after multiple pushes of the Up or Down buttons.Virkelige gjesteanmeldelser
"2013 Vacation"
We had a king room; it was comfortable and clean. Excellent location. We did not like the bath products - the minty scent was kind of institutional. The room was much smaller than pictured on the website. An easy chair would have been nice. Shower was excellent. The room needed more lighting - it was rather dark.Virkelige gjesteanmeldelser
Svar fra Hotel Diva Dear SYH, Thank you for sharing your experience at Hotel Diva with Hotels.com. Just to keep you posted on what's coming soon at Hotel Diva, new lighting is on its way! Also we are currently developing a new amenity line for ours guests to enjoy. We look forward to welcoming you back at Hotel Diva. Best regards, Virgil Lopez Hotel Manager
"Noise was very disturbing"
The hotel is very cool. The people seem very nice. However, in the middle of the night the trash truck comes and empties ALL of the dumpsters from the surrounding buildings and they just happen to be right outside the hotel. BANG! BANG! BANG! And it goes on for quite some time. Then the bums also go rummaging through these same dumpsters for recylable […] cans. We didn't sleep hardly at all. Also found the double beds to be too small for two people to sleep in. We won't be staying here again. Les merVirkelige gjesteanmeldelser
Svar fra Hotel Diva Hello, I'm so sorry to hear you hardly got sleep while staying with us. We always encourage our guests to express any concerns they may have during their stay so we can very well accommodate them. Hotel Diva offers various types of accommodations located in a quite section of the hotel, away from Geary and Mason streets. I hope you will give Hotel Diva another chance. We would love to see you again on your next trip to San Francisco. Best regards, Virgil Lopez Hotel Manager

Great boutique hotel with a fantastic staff and location.Virkelige gjesteanmeldelser
I personally didn't enjoy decor or specifically the lighting in my room. Fixtures were more "off beat" than functional. Site stated robe provided, but not there. I requested one, and was told they were only for deluxe rooms, but this is not what web site said. I got one, but only a day later, as I noticed absence after housekeeping staff left. Mainly […] a problem cuz I didn't pack one, and needed it. However, bedding great, and windows that open are a big plus for me! Les merVirkelige gjesteanmeldelser

Great location near Union Square. We had a junior suite which had all we needed - very big room, comfy bed, fridge, coffee machine, in-room safe. One small negative was that the bathroom was small in comparison, although great shower. Also the tv quality was poor compared to other places we stayed in during our trip - fuzzy picture.

No curb service without entering and requesting service. No notice on how to obtain service. Overnight parking is very costly, but that is San Francisco. When service was given, it was very courteous and adequateVirkelige gjesteanmeldelser
I made the reservation based on the fact that they had KING beds however, we received a queen bed and it was also an inside handicap room and at 6'4" it was not the most comfortable room for me. We were rushing to get to a wedding down the street but could have stayed in the wedding hotel but choose Diva because they had Kings and the other hotel did […] not. If we would have had more time I would have requested to be moved but we were rushing. I called a few times before arrival to make sure we were getting a KING but that did not happen so I was disappointed and then to be placed in an inside handicap room was NOT appealing. I also have to comment on the lobby staff which I felt was less than appealing...we were in and out twice and both times neither staff even looked up from their phones to say welcome back or hello...not what I would expect paying the rate we paid and I find it unprofessional.

We were in town for a few days, the hotel was in a good location in the center of the city, walking distance to Union Square and Chinatown, if you like walking you can even walk to Fisherman's Wharf if you want, otherwise it's only a $20 cab ride, or you can catch the cable car two blocks from the hotel.

"Good but not quite great."
Diva was clean and fairly comfortable. We had the King Suite because we needed the extra bed for our son. We had to move some furniture around to make it work. I think they gave up some functionality of the room to keep the decore. The beds were comfortable with nice linens. The only problem we had was the bathroom was a little small and it was wierd […] to be in a hotel like this with a sink outside of the bathroom (more normal for a less expensive place). The building is old but updated nicely and kept up well. The staff were really great and very helpful, but they should upgrade thier computers so they don't have so many problems with them. Great location in the heart of the City of San Fran with an awesome Mexican restauraunt on one side and a Starbucks on the other. Over all it was nice and served us well for the long weekend.

"Older hotel in an excellent location"
All of the staff here were unbelievably friendly and organized, eager to please. The concierge gave us great tips for where to eat/drink and was able to book a flat-rate car for us to take to the airport at the ungodly hour of 3:30 am. The hotel itself is an old building and, therefore, the rooms are a bit smaller than you may find at a chain hotel. […] This was to be expected in the middle of San Francisco. The location is unbeatable and we were able to walk and bus to all of our destinations (wise ease). The price is right: as students we were able to afford the stay. I would certainly recommend this hotel to friends and family. Les merVerifisert Expedia-gjesteanmeldelse
"Funky on Geary."
This is a very cute hotel. I called it "funky" because while not entirely perfect like the big-name chains, it had a certain charm to it that the chains don't have. For instance, I had to get the staff to replace one of the burned-out bulbs in a lamp, had to get them to replace a rubber stopper in the toilet tank because the toilet would run continuously […] after a flush unless you manually manipulated the mechanism inside the tank, I cleaned my own really filthy air conditioner filters, my toilet was not entirely cleaned one time, and one of the elevators was not working for half a day. It was also located near where a lot of the San Francisco homeless would hang out. They were harmless but very obvious, but that seemed to be true in most of the downtown area. But that is San Francisco. Across the street is a 24 hour diner -- The Pinecrest -- which has awesome breakfasts. Close to all transportation and shopping. All in all, I really liked the hotel and would stay again. Les merVerifisert Expedia-gjesteanmeldelse
"Great Location to Stay"
Enjoyed the City and Food and all the sites. The tours can be booked on line or the hotel staff can help in booking. The tour operator's for Viator(Wine Country&Muir Woods)) and Horizon Coachlines(Monterey&Carmel) were Great. Easy to get around city by way of public transportation or walking. Make sure you have good walking shoes and warm clothes and […] jacket. We were there in July. Ask what areas to stay out of if you plan to walk the city at night. A lot of stores to shop. Monterey Aquarium was well worth the look. Les merVerifisert Expedia-gjesteanmeldelse

"Hip decor, not a great surrounding."
I loved the decor and design if the hotel. My room was wonderful. I was so excited to stay until the night came. My room was over a trash alley in which crashing glass and dumpsters kept me up all night. I tried to move but the hotel was sold out. They offered ear plugs! Not a good thing. The location is close to Union Square and that was good. But […] the direct neighborhood outside the hotel was little scary. Les merVerifisert Expedia-gjesteanmeldelse

The hotel is great, it just need a more detailed cleaner. Not too bad, just because we are good observers and we pay attention to all the details.

My room was great for my beautiful fiance and myself. The location is OK. My TV didn't work but they'll subsidized my rate to an adequate and pleasing amount to make up for the inconvenience.

While the rooms are comfortable , and the staff is friendly. The trash truck can be heard everyday @ 3am. One morning the maid was kind enough to knock so that could clean @ 8:15am. My thought is 10am. Nice place to stay over all.Verifisert Expedia-gjesteanmeldelse

"Great and reasonably priced"
The location of hotel diva is impeccable. It is within a block from Macy's and union square, making shopping so easy. The hotel is cozy, but our party found the rooms a bit too small and dark. The bAthroom is also small. But the room is always kept clean. We had an incident with valet. Valet messed up our ticket and we had to wait over an hour on both […] days for our car. And one time they lost the car for some reason but ended up finding it. It was the valets fault and the hotel was apologetic and tried to resolve the issue. Overall the hotel staff was courteous and we were always greeted every time. Note that if u are booking the hotel through Expedia, u won't be Able to enjoy the Perks with the hotels loyalty program.

"In the heart of Union Square- AMAZING"
This hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Union Square. It is VERY modern with every convenience. There is a Starbucks right next door with an entrance to our hotel. The staff was amazing with awesome recommendations to local restaurants. Every place we went to was a hit. The staff, or should I specifically point out Aileen, was VERY knowledgable […] with how to plan our days to get the most out of our stay. They were very quick to accommodate transportation to the airport and also route us around the city. The hotel has about 8 floors, so not incredibly huge, if that's what you are looking for, but it is on a main street. Once you walk out the doors, there are a million things to do and places to eat. The gym also has small lounges for guests to meet at and also a small gym with cardio machines and free weights. (Just enough for a nice workout). There is also cable TV in all the rooms and a safe in the closet. I honestly loved this hotel. I didn't want to leave. I would highly recommend it in s heartbeat, and I will definitely be going back.

"Love Hotel Diva"
We enjoyed our stay(5 nights) at Hotel Diva, very much. The staff was very courteous and polite and the concierge had excellent advice as to which areas of town to avoid. They were also helpful in recommending cafes and restaurants as per our needs and best methods of transportation for different places we wanted to go to. Our room was on the seventh […] floor and very quiet. It reminded us of a European room, not too big, a small bathroom but the bed was very comfortable and that was important since we were hardly in our room except to rest and sleep at the end of the day. There was a complimentary Sake in the lobby all evening (we would have preferred wine, being so close to vineyards) and there were various lounges were we could enjoy complimentary teas, flavoured water and Perrier.

My boyfriend and I recently took a trip to San Francisco and decided to stay at Hotel Diva. The rooms are pretty small, but we weren't planning on spending much time there aside from sleeping, so that wasn't a big deal for us. The room was very clean and the modern decor is great. The bed and pillows are super comfy! I expected the cheap, flat pillows […] you find in most budget hotels, so I was pleasantly surprised to find 4 plush down pillows in the room. I didn't have too much interaction with the front desk staff, but they were pleasant whenever I did. Valet parking is available, and is completely worth it in my opinion if you aren't used to driving/parking in a city like San Francisco. It was about $40 a night for us (which is cheaper than self-parking at many SF hotels and was one of the major selling points for us). We had our car valet parked and used public transportation during our stay. The hotel is within walking distance from several major bus routes as well as the Powell Metro Station and the cable cars, so getting around was easy. There are plenty of great restaurants and shopping locations near the hotel as well. My ONLY complaint was that the free WiFi was beyond slow and periodically cut out completely. As someone who works in the technology industry internet access is vital, but for someone else that may not be a big deal. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend Hotel Diva if you are looking to get the most bang for your buck. Les merVirkelige gjesteanmeldelser

Impressed by this boutique hotel by the service, style and unique amenities. Many modern boutique hotels choose to be streamlined aka with bare essentials - not this one. Great bedding [we wanted to take it home] items like a champagne bucket with tray, desk area for work and wifi antennas right outside the rooms. Great connection.

What more do you need? The bed was comfy, the room was clean - it was a little cramped and a little dark, but over all it was not a bad stay.

Mariners boys' hockey team wins one, loses one
The Silver Bay boys' hockey team split a pair of games last week, winning at home and losing at the road.By: Steve Gow, Lake County News Chronicle
The Silver Bay boys' hockey team split a pair of games last week, winning at home and losing at the road.
They never trailed as they defeated Ashland 5-1 in a lackluster affair. They lost 6-2 at Miners Memorial Arena in Virginia to the Blue Devils in a much better played game.
Cody Larson scored twice in his second game back and Bradley Rowlee added a goal and two assists to pace the Mariners at home against Ashland last Friday. Rowlee struck first for a power play goal 12 seconds into the power play with assists from Thomas Anderson and Luke Small for the only score of the first period. Larson scored shorthanded with the aid of Rowlee to make it 2-0. After Tanner Hicks cut it to 2-1 for the Oredockers, Larson struck again with a perfect feed from Shane Billings to make it 3-1 after two. Anderson and Small scored third period goals for the Mariners to wrap it up.
Zack Duresky stopped 30 Oredocker shots to pick up the victory in the Mariner nets. Dylan Hudson had 26 saves for Ashland.
At Virginia last Saturday, the Mariners were done in by special teams play as they gave up only one goal while five on five.They gave up three power play goals,one short handed and one on an delayed penalty as six different Blue Devils scored.Overall the Mariners played a much better game then the one the night before.
The Bay came out with a strong first period and hit a pipe on a breakaway just over a minute into the game. The shots read 10-8 after one period of play in favor of Virginia and the score was 1-0 via a Derek Judnick power play goal that went in via a screen. The Mariners had a number of excellent scoring chances but couldn't bury the puck. The Blue Devils made it 2-0 with a shorthanded goal from Blair Seitz and 3-0 with a goal from Travis Kemp with 8 seconds remaining in the second period. The Mariners outshot the Blue Devils 15-14 in the period, but again couldn't bury the puck. The Blue Devils clinched the win when Nick Blaeser and Marc Krebsbach made it 5-0 at 3:15 of the final period of play.
Billings put the Mariners on the board with an assist from Blake LeBlanc at the six minute mark. After Tyler Goodrie made it 6-1 for the Blue Devils, Larson concluded the game's scoring for the Mariners. Larson picked up a loose puck following a faceoff, bulled his way to the net, and rammed it home.
Alex Murray finished with 42 stops in the Mariner nets and Lucas Murray had 33 stops for Virginia.
The Mariners face Lake of the Woods tonight at 8 p.m. in Silver Bay.

Justin Bieber releases his new song "Heartbreaker" from his weekly #MusicMondays series. He will release a new track every Monday for ten straight weeks leading up to his Believe movie. Here is what he said about his record.
It's a song for people going through a heartbreak—like I was when I wrote it. It means so much to me to be able to share what I was, and still am going through, with my fans. I'm very proud of this song and I hope it gives my fans some insight into my heart.

Okay so husband HATES and has always HATED grits. Coming from the south and New Orleans I might add, you would think this boy would love him some grits especially in a dish such as Shrimp and Grits but he never has attempted to try the dish until yours truly stepped in and put an END to the insanity. I am trickier than I get credit for at times!
Think Grit Muffins! Yep, I said muffins. Grits in the shape of a huge muffin but upside down. By using this method you get the flavor of the grits but not the creamy grainy texture- which is what he doesn't like about them. I made regular old butter grits and added in a few twists of cheddar cheese, jalapeño and Cajun seasoning then poured into greased muffin tins and baked them at 350 for 35 minutes or until nice and golden brown on top. They were a hit and now he requests them all the time! The lesson here ladies and gentlemen is be creative with ingredients and you can change even the pickiest eaters!
Think Smothered Pork Chops meets Fresh Shrimp! I just used the word smothered and shrimp together:) I made a great incredibly flavorful silky seafood gravy using fresh herbs, chicken stock and cream then smothered the shrimp in it and allowed them to cook for another 6-8 minutes until they turned nice and pink. One Word- YUM!
You could actually serve this dish as an appetizer if you use mini muffin tins and a tiny shot glasses to hold the appetizer or as a main dish. No matter how you do it just do it because it this just screams Fresh!
- 1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp, tails on
- 2 TBSP oil
- 2 TBSP butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 TBSP flour
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 tsp salt and pepper each
- 1 tsp cajun seasoning
- 2 TBSP fresh basil, chopped
- 2 TBSP fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 bunch green onions, chopped
- For the Grits:
- 6 cups water
- 3 cups of grits
- 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp jalapeno juice
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 stick butter
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder

SAN FRANCISCO -- After six months of construction, San Francisco city officials are celebrating the reopening of a street in Fisherman's Wharf that has been made safer and more pedestrian-friendly.
A two-block stretch of Jefferson Street between Hyde and Jones streets now has twice as much sidewalk space as before, as well as a new two-way traffic configuration, new lighting and crosswalk bulb-outs to allow pedestrians to cross the street with ease.
Mayor Ed Lee, Board of Supervisors president David Chiu and other city officials are planning a noon ribbon-cutting ceremony today to celebrate the reopening.
City officials wanted the project to be completed in advance of the America's Cup sailing races, which begin next month and are expected to bring large crowds to Fisherman's Wharf and other parts of the waterfront.
Even without the America's Cup, the city's northern waterfront is visited by an estimated 10 million people per year, according to the city's Department of Public Works.
More information about the project can be found online at www.newjeffersonstreet.com.

Within days of his arrival on Oct. 24, 1931, Al Capone transformed the Cook Country Jail into the newest outpost of his fiefdom, and he was soon as comfortably established there as he had been in his suite at the Lexington Hotel. Languishing in his oversize cell throughout the fall, the most famous convict in the nation conducted his affairs almost as if he were at liberty. Even better, the taxpayers now bore the cost of his lodging and upkeep as well as providing that other essential: security.
In those days rank had its privileges, especially in the Cook County Jail, where the warden, presciently named David T. Moneypenny, proved suspiciously eager to accommodate Capone's every whim. He assigned the famous prisoner to a quiet, private, oversize cell on the fifth-floor hospital ward. More than 1,500 prisoners crowded the jail, but Capone's exclusive quarters could have held a dozen or more men. Amid these luxurious surroundings, he slept as late as he liked, and he avoided the common run of criminals.

I'm glad the Truman administration didn't follow this approach.

Japan Itinerary - Suggestion 8 Days

Japan Itinerary - Suggestion 8 Days
Hi,I'm traveling alone and I need your suggestion on below itinerary
This is my frist trip to Japan and my Japanese language level is 0. I'm buying 7 day rail pass.
24th Apr:
Landing in Narita (7AM)
Morning Check-in
Staty: Shinjuku
Imperial Palace
Tsukiji fish market
25th Apr/26th Apr:
Fuji Five Lakes & Fuji Hakone-Izu National Park - Hakone - 1 day trip
Stay: Shinjuku
27th Apr:
Tokyo to Koyoto
Southern Kyoto/Higashiyama
Stay: Osaka
28th Apr:
Koyoto Eastern Hill area
Stay: Himeji
29th Apr/30th Apr:
Stay: Hiroshima
1st Apr:
Hiroshima to Japan (Bullet Train)
Ueno Park
Stay: Shibuya
2nd Apr:
Flying out of Japan
Any chance of seeing cherry blossom?
Also let me know if I missed out any must see area around this itinerary.
In my opinion this itinerary is much too fast for most people. I'd certainly reduce the number of places you visit. With a week in Japan, I'd spend about 3 days each in Tokyo and Kyoto and perhaps add one more destination.April 24: After a potentially long and tiring flight you are trying to see places that are spread out all over Tokyo. On the first day I'd try to limit myself to one or at most two (nearby) areas/wards. Also, Tsukiji makes sense to visit in the morning, which you won't if you arrive at 7am in Narita. Imperial Palace would be low priority for me.
April 25: Generally I'd allow one day each for Five Lakes and Hakone, but on a short trip like yours, I would not hesitate to skip both.
April 26: Nikko as a busy daytrip from Tokyo is possible if you start early.
April 27: Unless you like early morning (6am) trains, I'd travel inter-city in the evening (6-7 pm or so) in order to maximize sightseeing time. Not sure what you mean by "Southern Kyoto". Higashiyama makes for a good day. Why do you stay in Osaka and not in Kyoto?
April 28: "Eastern Hill" area seems like an (unusual) literal translation of "Higashiyama", so you'd have that covered already on April 27. Kinkakuji+Nara is a bad combination because you'd spend plenty of time on buses just for the 30 minutes or so you'd spend at Kinkakuji. IMO Nara is easily good for a full day, but if you want to combine it with some other places, I'd pick sights that are somehow between Kyoto station and Nara station such as Uji (Byodoin, Uji shrines, green tea) or Fushimi Inari (open 24 hours).
April 29: Himeji castle is presently under renovation, and under scaffolding, so you don't have that famous view of the main keep. You can still see the restoration works, up close, but if that does not interest you, it might be better to skip. In any case, if visiting Himeji I'd do that without spending the night, just on the way between Kyoto/Osaka and Hiroshima.
May 1: As above I'd travel inter-city in the evening. Also as above, Ueno and Shibuya are at opposite ends of central Tokyo. Better to combine Shinjuku+Shibuya in one day and Ueno+Asakusa, etc
I do agree with bamse and lucapal that it is too much, all that travelling from A to B to C .. takes a lot of precious time. However I wouldn't go to Uji because the famous Byodo temple is in renovation: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3923.html so the temple is covered up by scaffolding.I would just stick to Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and the Fushimi Inari shrine. Two different train lines stop near the Fushimi Inari shrine.
Maybe you can see the Fuji when travelling with the shinkansen between Tokyo to Kyoto, it depends on the weather. I've been to Hakone but it was too cloudy to see the Fuji.
It depends on your interests of course.
Thanks bamse,I have updated itinerary in such a way that I will not spend much time travelling.
I plan to stay in Osaka, because I heard it from my friend that Kyoto nightlife is not so great.
24th Apr:
Landing in Narita (7AM)
Imperial Palace
Asakusa+Ueno Park
25th Apr:
Fuji Five Lakes
26th Apr
27th Apr:
Tokyo to Koyoto
28th Apr:
Fushimi Inari
29th Apr/30th Apr:
Himeji (on the way to Hiroshima)
1st Apr:
Hiroshima to Japan (Bullet Train)
2nd Apr:
Flying out of Japan
Edited by: log4dinesh
Yes lucapal and wateenmooiedag, even I thought the same. Rushing is not a good idea to enjoy Japan.Since Its my first trip to Japan, I want to cover 3 cities mainly, Tokyo, Kyoto and Hiroshima (staying with my old friend in Hiroshima, I can't skip it).
So I'm trying to cut down the places which requires lot of time to travel.
New itinerary is more realistic in terms of things to do per day.If you want to cover 3 cities (Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima) mainly, I think it would be best to focus on these and skip most anything else as you don't have all that much time.Tokyo and Kyoto are really amazing places that deserve more than one day each.

I can configure FFDshow so I can use "intel quick sync" but after press ok it disappear and compare "disable" the next time I open ffdshow
the same also on the other codecs
I have a Asus GT640 Graphics board, mainboard asus p5k premium, intel core duo q9650
Requires intel quicksync a particularry board?
+ Reply to Thread
Results 1 to 2 of 2
Requires particular Video cards or CPUs. Also, only works on AVC/h.264, VC-1 and MPEG2 streams (possibly in their native containers), so "MPEG2 in AVI", such as shown in your screencap, might not work.
The real benefit of QuickSync is SPEED of ENCODING. If you are decoding, you not only aren't getting any benefit (because the standard libavcodec still decodes fine in realtime), but you are getting a quality hit (QuickSync gets some of its speed boost by using Rounded/Integer Math, in the same manner that other CPU-enhance encoding shortcuts also do, and this rounding comes with accompanying quality loss).

Elvis Costello skips the CD
The other day at a record store in Summit, N.J., my friend asked the owner how business had been. He said it's been extremely slow since the beginning of the year, with (as he put it) a bunch of releases from acts nobody had ever heard of, but that vinyl sales were very strong. He was particularly happy about the growing trend in which artists offer free downloads with LPs--fans get great sound and a nice collectible item with the vinyl, and portability with the digital files.
Elvis Costello understands this trend: his next album, Momofuku, will be … Read more
