How did the ventura county supervisors gain legal control of the peoples' property? Is it because if they tax it---they own it?
Basically the crooks at the county are running a "reverse" mortagage on everyones property...as the county withdraws money from everyones property, yearly.....
My advice...shop online and deny taxes to the county and cities

Clay Aiken: 'American Idol' is Now All About the Judges
"I don't even know if they remember there are contestants anymore," says the season two runner-up.
After a five-year break, Clay Aiken says he was long overdue to bring a Christmas show back on the road.
"It doesn't feel like Christmas for me if I'm not doing this," Aiken, who staged holiday tours from 2004-07, tells Billboard. "It was what made my year for me. It's what made Christmas feel like Christmas. This is what really puts me in the mood for the season." Aiken, who's playing with a full orchestra at each of his Joyful Noise 2012 tour stops, was waylayed first by his Broadway stint in Spamalot and then last year's runner-up appearance on Celebrity Apprentice. But, he says, "The people who worked for me in the past on the Christmas tours kept saying, 'When are we gonna get back out for Christmas? When?!' Fans would ask when I was going to do another Christmas tour. So I just said, 'Y'know what? We need to do it again."
PHOTOS: 'American Idol' Season 12: Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj Search for a Star
In fact, Aiken has gotten so into the spirit that he says a sequel to 2004's Merry Christmas With Love album and the A Clay Aiken Christmas DVD may well be his next recording endeavor. "I think that's the thing we've talked about most, doing another Christmas project," Aiken says. "I don't know that it will happen next year, but it's something I'd like to do. I think there's still some things out there I haven't done, and I like the fact that around this time of year people bust out their Clay Aiken Christmas album and it's part of their holiday."
After an eventful 2012 -- which in addition to Celebrity Apprentice saw the release of his sixth album, Steadfast, and a guest appearance on Dee Snider's Dee Does Broadway -- Aiken says he's eyeballing "a few things that are a little more low-key" for 2013 and is holding off most decisions until the Joyful Noise tour wraps Dec. 21 in Anaheim. "We've got some producers on a TV show concept idea they want me to work on, but I don't have time to do it right now," Aiken notes. His primary goal, Aiken explains, is to "sit still for a little bit and sleep in the same bed for awhile," so he's concentrating on theater as well as TV that will allow him to remain relatively stationary. "I would love to do theater again," he says, "but I think it has to be a role that would work, and I want to sing. I didn't get to sing in Spamalot; I want to do a show where I sing."
STORY: American Idol' Finalists: Where Are They Now?
Next year will also mark the 10th anniversary of his runner-up turn on American Idol's second season, but Aiken isn't expecting to commemorate the occasion.
"I don't know that I would commemorate it on the show," he says. "I don't know that they did it with Justin Guarini and all those folks. But Idol back in those days was about the contestants. Kelly [Clarkson] and Justin and Tamyra [Gray] and Nikki McKibbin, they were all the stars of the show. And when I was on, Ruben [Studdard] and myself and Kimberley Locke were the stars of the show. Now Idol is about the judges. I don't even know if they remember there are contestants anymore."

1. Dan Hill stands at a door, hand on the handle. On the door are the words "You are now leaving Thought Balloons". The door has just been pushed open, with Dan looking back over his shoulder with a sigh.
CAPTION (Narrator)
Picture this, if you will. A talented writer looks to leave behind his past to embrace his future.
2. Reverse panel of the same door with Dan stepping through it, the door is closing behind him. Dan looks confused and worried. His body is obscuring text on the door.
What? No.
3. Ben Rosenthal is sitting at a desk, a evil smirk on his face. Behind him is the door Dan just exited/is coming through (he is trapped in a loop).
You didn't think leaving would be that easy, did you?
4. Back to Dan who is looking behind him as the door slams shut. We can see the text now which reads "Welcome to Thought Balloons".
5. Dan is on his knees, looking up to the sky with hands clenched in despair.

September Blooms
My favorite feature of September is that it's no longer August. Though the garden still suffers from the late summer blues, I can recognize the softening of the light and the subtle changes that exhausted plants begin to display. Here in Northern California wine country we have several weeks before the cool temps set in , and high 90's (or worse) heat is still an occasional visitor.
The Mystic series Dahlias have been outstanding performers in my garden- seen here is Mystic Spirit. The deep bronze foliage is still as clean as it was in spring, flowers are abundant. Stems are strong and I have never had to stake this plant. I plan to add more of the Mystics next year, though I have found that not every variety in the series is as vigorous as this one.
I've been extremely happy with this Persicaria this year, but it clashes horribly with many other plants in it's immediate area. This fall I will replace it with P 'Golden Arrow'.
I let the last small batch or Artichokes go to flower. They add a nice touch of drama .
I think I finally found a spot that my small collection of Fuchsias feel comfortable in.
And Rooguchi continues to bloom..
This is my Crassula coccinea from Annies; it had some rough treatment involving a squirrel and an upended container , so I was surprised that it managed to pump out some flowers.
Be sure and head over to May Dreams , where Carol invites bloomy bloggers to share on the 15th of each month.

Oh, I do like that Mystic Spirit Dahlia -- bronze foliage and orange flowers sounds yummy. My garden is looking tired too.
ReplyDeleteHappy GBBD! I was impressed by your reference to the clean foliage on the dahlia. Is it mildew resistant, or is mildew not a problem in your area? I finally planted 2 dahlias here this year (after giving them up at my former house) but, once again, mine were plagued with mildew. If the Mystic series is mildew resistent, dahlias would be worth another try.
ReplyDeleteRepliesKris, my Dahlias get mildew like clockwork, always in fall..no sign of it yet. The mildew comes so late for me that it is a non-issue; by the time it shows up the first frost date is usually looming, and they will turn to black slime anyway. I would say that the Mystic series is less affected than the big poofy -bloomy varietys I grow.
I completely agree with your assessment of September. Along with it not being August anymore, I'm also thankful I don't have little kids in school anymore. So there's two reasons. And Roguchi is up for some kind of award in your garden, isn't he, most entries in Bloom Day posts?
ReplyDeleteRepliesLittle kids in school ? Perish the thought. How did I survive it ? Roguchi , what can I say ? I planted it after wesaw it growing in Susan Boeschens' garden at IU up here..I figured if it could survive in a hot hellhole like Calistoga , I could make it work down here in Napa, where we are at least 10 degrees-if not more-cooler than up there.
Beautiful September blooms! I'm a little jealous of your warmer winters (you're in zone 9, right?) but not so much of your 90 degree weather right now. Artichokes are so beautiful in bloom but mine all bloomed, the leaves slowly withered and the stalk browned. There are new green shoots at the bottom. I didn't cut the blooms when they were done. Is that the secret to a longer bloom time? This was my first year with artichokes.
ReplyDeleteRepliesPeter , I'm in a sort of 9-10 zone combo, but firmly in Sunset14 which seems to be a bit more relevant. There are quite a few zone 9 plants that don't make it through the winters here-I think the wetness may be the culprit.My artichoke flowers hold on for a few weeks-or more if earlier in the season. When the flowers brown out I cut the whole thing back to the ground (actually I use my pruning saw---way too big a trunk to cut) and new leaves come up in short order.
The Mystic dahlias are all I grow now. In my part sun they do need support. Mystic 'Illusion' (yellow) is fabulous if you can find it. Happy Bloom Day! I took the pictures but so far have not had time to write the post. Hopefully today.
ReplyDeleteWith every one of your posts I find myself hoping that someday I'll get to see your garden in person.

Hawaiian Airlines has launched a new frequent flyer program to reward members when they dine out at restaurants in San Francisco and Southern California. Members will earn extra miles towards their next flight to or from Hawaii when they spend money at one of the participating restaurants, and if the bill is more than $20, a meal will be donated to hunger relief charity Feeding America.
Spirit Airlines, the discount airline that services Oakland airport, is expanding its booze offerings to include aluminum cans. This week, the airline began serving wine from a can -- white moscato or strawberry moscato from Friends Fun Wine, a Florida company. A can of wine is about one-third larger than a mini bottle, which Spirit will continue to sell, but has about half the alcohol per volume.

Mabigat kalaban ang RoS, nawawala advantage ng BMEG sa big men. Saka magaling rin si coach Yeng.
Or pwede din palang manalo RoS sa game 1, tapos i-sweep natin sila from game 2-5.
Tapos magsasalita si James ng "It's about damn time! It's about damn time na manalo kami sa rain or shine!"
ROS ako. Di ko alam kung hanggang saan aabot ang series na to pero gusto kong maglaro ang ROS pisikal talaga.
sus ano naman gagawin ni bono! hehehe, kasing lapad lang siya ni belga at Jr, pero napaka ampaw ng mamang ito sobrang bagal pa. yung extra rice boys na RoS, nakikipagbasagan ng mukha... may cornely pa. mas kampante pa ko kung si gaco! hehehe
last time yata may nanalo UE player as ROY nag champion to player nato. Pwede ma duplicate ni Paul Lee yon achienvement na yun kapag natalo nila Bmeg sa series.
ROS in 6 sakit ng katawan ang aabutin ng BMEG dito lalo na sa PorkChop Duo(Belga & Quinahan)

It's funny to hear Quinito saying "Sakuragi". last conference, we had a production meeting where we had to explain to him who Sakuragi was.
Sino ba ang designated James stopper ng RoS? si Norwood ba or si Jireh?
Physical game to for sure as a PBA fan ang sarap manuod nito..
Im not a Paul Lee fanatic pero siguro siya magiging barometer ng RoS?
Sana hindi mag choke si James para maganda laban.
RoS in 6 or Bmeg in 5
BMEG eventhough they are missing Devance and Intal does have the advantage, especially in size and in the experience department. ROS must have good shooting days in order to beat the Llamados. They should be more up tempo. You cannot beat Tim Cone's team in a grind. They are experts in execution and managing the game, the minutes of their stars. Import advantage also to them.
Unpredictability on the otherhand is the advantage of ROS. You do not know who will explode on any given night. But Belga and Quinahan are not enough in the interior. Defensive specialists like Ybanez and Arana must be properly utilized. Buenafe, Lee, and Chan can explode anytime.
I have this going to the 7th game with BMEG winning. Though I won't be surprised if ROS gets this. They are primed for a title also.
magandang laban to. rain or shine advantage ngaung araw maulan kc db? hehe. ROS game 7.

Lee Ritenour
Lee Ritenour
Known to fans as "Captain Fingers" for his uncommon dexterity on the guitar, Lee Ritenour is a noted jazz artist and session musician who has been one of the leaders in his field since the early '70s. Born in Los Angeles, California on January 11, 1952, Ritenour took up the guitar when he was eight years old, and decided to make music his career when he was 12. Ritenour's parents were supportive of his ambitions, and arranged for him to study with some of the best guitar teachers in Southern California. At 15, he joined a rock band called the Esquires, and when John Phillips heard Ritenour at work, he invited him to play on an upcoming session by the Mamas and the Papas; it was the first record date for the 16-year-old guitarist. While Ritenour's tastes were eclectic and he worked with a number of rock and soul artists, he had a special passion for jazz, citing Wes Montgomery as a key influence, and within a few years he was playing prestigious gigs with the likes of Lena Horne and Tony Bennett. Ritenour took time off from his career to attend the University of Southern California, where he studied classical guitar under Christopher Parkening, but he returned to work after two-and-a-half years. By the mid-'70s, Ritenour was one of the top session musicians in Los Angeles, lending his talents to albums by the likes of Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Carly Simon, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Natalie Cole, the Bee Gees, and Quincy Jones, as well as jazz projects with Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, Alphonso Johnson, and Stanley Turrentine. Ritenour also had a keen interest in Brazilian and Latin sounds; he toured with Sergio Mendes in 1973, and recorded with Flora Purim, Gato Barbieri, and Paulinho Da Costa.

Great article, I`m still not clear on what level or skill you mean by Manufacturing Jobs and Jobs at larger companies.
From an operations standpoint, its clear that the benefits to large companies to outsource their lower-end functions saves them millions to billions of dollars, allowing them to be more competitive on a Global Footing, which, ultimately will create more job growth for the higher-end skilled labor force in America, or so the thinking goes.

on Jan. 07, 2012 :
What a superbly written story! The first page of the book skydives straight into explosive action and it continues right on from there – one heart stopping action scene after another. Now you might think that this sounds like something men would prefer to read, right? Well yes, and no. While a macho male lead, explosions, car chases, flying bullets and fight scenes, as well as the Lara Croft-like leading lady might well appeal to men, "Blonde Demolition' is actually a love story with all the ingredients us women want in a good romance.
So prepare yourselves ladies, as you're bound to fall in love with one of the hottest male characters I've ever come across in a book. Yep. He gives Edward Cullen a go for his money – I mean, we're talking ruggedly handsome here – not sparkly. The passion between Mallory and Trey (the two main characters) had my pulse beating out of control and left me short of breath. And that is only the start of it! I loved the adrenaline-pumping energy in this book and the sincerity of the characters – real down-to-earth people I could identify with.
The only "downside" to this fantastic read, was the few grammar mistakes scattered throughout the book; but as I was turning the pages as fast as I could to keep up with the suspense-laden events and red hot passion between the two main characters, I could easily overlook these little errors.
What else will you be getting out of this book? Solid dialogue that makes you feel part of the conversation and fast paced action that will leave you breathless; as well as an exceptional storyline and unforgettable characters, makes this a must read.
Chris Redding has just netted herself a brand new fan!

We have included all charges provided to us by this hotel. However, charges can vary, for example, based on length of stay or the room you book.
Locals live and shop in West Sedona, which has earned the nickname "The Real Sedona." This community is directly north of Red Rock State Park, a 286-acre site once part of a private ranch. The park's trails provide close views of the flora, fauna, and distinct geology. Those averse to hiking can explore the red rocks in with style: Pink Jeep Tours' off-road adventures are a tourist favorite.
see all hotels in SedonaIt was a big disappointment. Room was dark, unclean and bed linens were stained. Towels were as rough as sandpaper. TV was about 20 yrs old and furniture had a lot of chipped paint. Very shabby. The whole complex needed a coat of paint. Looks a though it hadn't been painted in 20 years. A real flop house. Overrated for $150 a night. Only got two hours […] sleep due to the foul order of the pillows. Seemed as though the stuffing was made with old stinky socks. Ugh!! Bad experience.

"Snippy staff and not pet friendly"
We specifically chose this hotel because they stated they were pet friendly that I called about the night before to confirm but was met with a snippy, "common sense, you would't leave your pet unattended" from the head desk clerk when trying to make arrangements for dinner that night and our pooch the next day while we took a canyon tour. We travel […] with him often, bring his carrier and toys Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great location,not so great hotel..."
The location of the hotel is amazing. The hotel itself, not so great! If you're looking for a 60-70s looking hotel, this is the one for you! Sky Ranch Lodge is in serious need of an update. The rooms are old and just plain/boring. While the view is great there are a ton of other hotels in Sedona that offer great views, better prices and better acco […] madations. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Not at all happy with the room we were given. It appeared that the lobby was in a newer section with rooms above, but we were given a room in back in an older section. The room had a very odd odor in it that hit you in the face as soon as you walked in. Plus the clerks behind the counter in the lobby looked bored, disinterested, and were somewhat rude. […] It was definately not worth the price, way too expensive for what we had. I would not recommend. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
This was a wonderful place to stay. The views cannot be beaten as from one side of my room I looked over the exquisitely cared for gardens, ponds, and pathways while from the other side of the room I could see the incredible mesas and desert. Being up so high made it extremely quiet as no sounds from the traffic below could be detected. Being so close […] to one of the energy vortexes was a major plus as it was just a short walk away. While there was not a restaurant connected with the hotel, there were innumerable ones just a very short drive away and there was also quick access to both a Safeway, a pharmacy, gas stations...there was nothing I could have wanted that I couldn't have found within a five minute drive. I would most definitely stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Portadown businessman Cedric Livingstone designed and purposely built the Southern Trust's roadshow hospice which recently raised vital funds for their services, all in memory of his mother.
Mr Livingstone, who owns AC Motors in Portadown, wanted to do something to raise the profile of the good work that happens at the Southern Area Hospice Services (SAHS).
"My mother Marina had cancer for five years and passed away last year. She spent her last 17 days in the hospice. I can recall when the word 'hospice' was mentioned in our house. I knew it was the last resort and often shunned away from talking about it," he said.
"I didn't want to know. 'Hospice' meant that there was no alternative. I have to say though, the staff were brilliant. They managed it right. My mother's life ended with dignity and the staff made it easier for my father. They were a great support and took away any stigma attached to the word 'hospice'. From the auxiliaries, to the nurses, to the doctors and caretakers, they were phenomenal. Even the chaplains, from both dominations, offered advice. Religion was left at the door."
Mr Livingstone started raising funds by organising a tractor run, involving 300 tractors and raised £20,000, and then came the innovative mobile hospice idea.
"I wanted to do something more so I came up with the mobile hospice - a car and hospice trailer on the back. We did it up making it look like a real hospice and Una Lavery and I started going around schools educating children. I do all the driving and Una gives talks about what happens inside the walls of a hospice and then if anybody decides to raise funds they can. It's more about the education though. We wanted to break down barriers so children are able to walk into a hospice room and not feel afraid. Some are even afraid to step foot in the building. We have a mascot, 'Croc the Hospice Doc' who travel with us and adds a bit of fun for the children."
Una Lavery, regional marketing officer for the hospice said, "We would like to thank the Livingstone family for their continued support, particularly Cedric who has put his heart and soul, not to mention time and dedication, into building the mobile Hospice unit.
"We also thank the companies who supported us."

Witness to the Mob
Add Witness to the Mob to Queue
Add Witness to the Mob to top of Queue
The key figure in this two-part TV mob miniseries is Mafia snitch Sammy "The Bull" Gravano (Nicholas Turturro). Gravano ratted on John Gotti (Tom Sizemore), who manipulated the 1985 murder of mob boss Paul Castellano (Abe Vigoda). Gravano is seen rising in the mob ranks through various blood-brother ceremonies, coercions, threats, family meetings, and confrontations over loyalties. In part two, informant Gravano blows the whistle on Gotti. Turturro, as Gravano, also narrates the drama, which manages to alter accuracy and bend history behind this disclaimer: "Certain events in this film that are based on fact are interpretive, certain characters are composites or have been fictionalized, and some names and locations have been changed." Premiered May 10, 1998 on NBC. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

It's 1958, and the producers of the quiz show
have a problem. Their current champ, Herbert Stempel (John Turturro), has a phenomenal memory and a broad range of knowledge. He's also a pudgy loudmouth with a grating personality, so Herbert is encouraged to "take a dive" and allow Charles Van Doren (Ralph Fiennes), a handsome and charming college professor, to become the show's new champion. Audiences like Van Doren, and he's certainly not averse to the money he's winning, but the ethics of the situation begin to trouble him, especially when the show's producers begin to give him the questions in advance. Director Robert Redford and writer Paul Attanasio paint a telling portrait of how the network heads and advertising men who manipulated the quiz shows were also able to manipulate the responsibility for the scandal away from themselves. While on the surface a story about the scandal itself, Quiz Show is just as importantly about a turning point in the 1950s when TV and advertising began to change American character and culture. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

As civil war threatens to break out among the Klingons, Worf's own loyalties are torn between his people and the crew of the

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Redemption, Part II
Star Trek: The Next Generation inaugurated its fifth season with the conclusion of the fourth-season cliffhanger. The situation remains the same as in part one, with the Klingon Empire on the brink of a civil war. The source of the unrest is the Duras family, who Captain Picard suspects is in cahoots with the dreaded Romulans. Risking an apocalyptic war and sorely testing his friendship with his former Klingon officer Worf, Picard orders a Federation blockade on the Klingon/Romulan border. The former

regular who appeared in part one is again on hand, this time with full screen credit. Written by Ronald D. Moore, part two of "Redemption" first aired September 28, 1991. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Adapted from Mario Puzo's novel, The Sicilian is an attempt to chronicle the life and times of Mafia leader, patriot and real-life Robin Hood Salvatore Giuliano, the infamous bandit who, together with his rag-tag band of guerillas, attempted to liberate 1940s Sicily from Italian rule and make it an American state. Giuliano (Christopher Lambert) robs from the rich conservative landowners to give to the poor, serf-like peasants, who in turn hail him as their savior. As his popularity grows, so does his ego, and he eventually thinks he is above the power of his backer, Mafia Don Masino Croce (Joss Ackland). The Don, in turn, sets out to kill the upstart by convincing his cousin and closest advisor Gaspare (John Turturro) to assassinate him. Nearly thirty minutes of screen time were haphazardly hacked off director Michael Cimino's original cut by the studio. ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi

Apology stars Lesley Anne Warren (with a Stefanie Powers hairdo) as a Manhattan-based sculptor/performance artist. To enhance her latest project, Warren invites the participation of anonymous phone callers, whose voices she records. One of her unseen "collaborators" calls her up to confess to a murder--several murders, in fact. Warren strongly suspects that the mystery caller may be intending a little "performance" involving her own demise. Peter Weller co-stars as a sympathetic detective who ends up Warren's lover--but can he be trusted? Made for HBO, Apology was originally telecast July 27, 1986. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Grace Quigley
When first released as Grace Quigley, this odd little black comedy proved too fey and quirky even for the most devoted fans of Katharine Hepburn. The star plays the title character, an old, worn-out woman with nothing to live for. Accordingly, she hires professional assassin Seymour Flint (Nick Nolte) to kill her, albeit gently. As she ponders the prospect of a peaceful death as opposed to a miserable life, Grace convinces Seymour to murder not only herself, but all other poor souls who have grown tired of life. As it turns out, there are several people who'd be willing to pay for this "courtesy," and soon Grace and Seymour, together with his ditsy girlfriend Muriel (Kit Le Fever), are conducting a land-office business! Entered into competition at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival, Grace Quigley made no impression whatsoever. Screenwriter A. Martin Zweibeck withdrew the film, recut it to his satisfaction, and reissued it as The Ultimate Solution of Grace Quigley. Though this version was a marked improvement over the original, the film was still not quite the Harold and Maude-like "cult favorite" that everyone hoped it would be. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

For this film adaptation of Peter Shaffer's Broadway hit, director Milos Forman returned to the city of Prague that he'd left behind during the Czech political crises of 1968, bringing along his usual cinematographer and fellow Czech expatriate, Miroslav Ondrícek. Amadeus is an expansion of a Viennese "urban legend" concerning the death of 18th century musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. From the vantage point of an insane asylum, aging royal composer Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) recalls the events of three decades earlier, when the young Mozart (Tom Hulce) first gained favor in the court of Austrian emperor Joseph II (Jeffrey Jones). Salieri was incensed that God would bless so vulgar and obnoxious a young snipe as Mozart with divine genius. Why was Salieri -- so disciplined, so devoted to his art, and so willing to toady to his superiors -- not touched by God? Unable to match Mozart's talent, Salieri uses his influence in court to sabotage the young upstart's career. Disguising himself as a mysterious benefactor, Salieri commissions the backbreaking Requiem, which eventually costs Mozart his health, wealth, and life. Among the film's many pearls of dialogue, the best line goes to the emperor, who rejects a Mozart composition on the grounds that it has "too many notes." Amadeus won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor for F. Murray Abraham. In 2002, the film received a theatrical re-release as "Amadeus: The Director's Cut," a version that includes 20 minutes of additional footage. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The staff were friendly and I ate there one night and the meal was very good
The air conditioner was not working very well and the staff just said it will take a while to warm up- all night!! The cleaners need lessons on service- bed just pulled up, sink left with food in it and empty tubes of spa gel left in shower for three days. Obviously the shower was not cleaned!!
Friendly good service clean and tidy helpful staff good location
rooms are a bit small TV is small Some cutlery was not in room No view
The room size, design and lay out was good, the location very nice opposite the bay and close to restaurants.
I booked the room online and requested the option of two single beds as I was traveling with a friend. After completing the online booking, I received a call that the two single beds would incur a surcharge. I didn't receive any explanation why this was not indicated on the website. Check in was smooth and my welcome letter listed the original online price. The location of the room was unfortunately on the ground floor with the windows leading to the drive way which resulted in a fair bit of noise. The room itself was fine. The beds were too soft in my opinion but I agree this is personal preference. The door to the bathroom didn't close properly, the tap of the sink and shower came off. The toilet roll holder and towel rack half pulled off the wall mounting. But the worst bit was the lack of communication at check out the next morning. The receptionist didn't asked us about our stay or if everything was o.k. and then charged the online price plus the surcharge for the two single beds without communicating this to me. She further placed the charge on my credit card without communicating that this would incur a credit card surcharge. She then had to cancel it and without further questioning she put the same card through for me to pay on eftpost. Once I realised this, she had to cancel this again as this was the wrong card.... long story cut short, we played the card game for a while and finally managed to pay for the stay. Although this didn't affect our overnight stay I find this lack of communication very unprofessional. Furthermore for the price range we paid, I would expect more attention to detail regarding the fixtures in the bathroom.
Good location just outside the city. Friendly and helpful reception staff members.
Very good apartment/studio accommodation Staff excellent Bed really comfortable
Excellent rooms and facilities, friendly and helpful reception staff members, excellent location, good booking deals.
A misunderstanding regarding a non-smoking room resulted in a very steep $500 fine. During the check-in, I asked a reception staff member that a guest would like to smoke - specifically, I asked if a bottom window could be opened, and if my guest could place an ashtray outside (and blow smoke out through the open window). The staff member said this was fine, unlocked the window, and provided an ashtray. I was not warned that this still constitues as breaking the non-smoking rules, therefore I feel the heavy fine is unfair and due to a misunderstanding. As much as I like the hotel, I am very reluctant about staying there again. I feel this is a refelection of management mis-communication, and that it should be corrected, and that the heavy fine should at least be reduced.
Good evening restaurant. Handy for friends we were meeting.
Unable to have a new globe in bathroom from 3 requests. One small light is not enough to use mirror. Light so poor my night light stayed on! Lighting in room inadequate. One centre light in room serviced by one light switch at door (room 006) not good enough. Bedside lamps not bright enough for reading so main light had to be left on - then when ready for lights out one has to walk down passageway to turn off light.
Located close to the event I was attending.
Booked an Attic Room but didn't get one. Air conditioner was weak and room was stuffy. Quite a few of the dishes in the cupboards weren't clean.

The staff were appalling, the hotel was noisy, the facilities were not open, they forgot to clean our room... I could go on....
Front staff very pleasant.
They don't clean properly. Sink dirty on a daily basis. Sheets not changed.
When we left never to return
The false avertising by the Quest Brighton who use second party online- booking Company, we asked for a twin share room with two single beds, arriving late at night from Perth for the 2013 Grand Final. All they could do was roll in a fold up bed with dirty linen and said the issued would be rectified the the next day "well it wasn't, ...documentation showed 2 single bed accom required, however there reply was that is just a comment made by the booking Company and we can't Guarantee it... This was after payment was taken.... To cut a long story short "it's always" easy to pass the blame and take the money, then not admit to poor service. All this after traveling 3750Km from Perth
The kitchenette comfortable bed Quiet location parking the docking station
the view the quality of tea and coffee and long life milk (yuk)

Unless they develop near light-speed travel, interplanetary mining really isn't a very profitable thing. Its not exactly easy to haul tons of raw material into space. Maybe for orbiting stations or surface colonies, but those wouldn't really be interplanetary then. |
My personal opinion is that this won't be so revolutionary until there are actual interesting locations that such vehicles could carry private payers or their payload to. |

For now, 62 miles up is an interesting enough destination for about 99% of the population. Problem is, it wasn't cheap before rutan, and it still isn't cheap even after the record breaking (making?) flight. |

JOPLIN, Mo. —
After mining the Joplin Museum Complex for the city's lead and zinc mining history, Robert Schatz and Jennifer Jordon licked a tough assignment at the Candy House Chocolate Factory on Wednesday.
Joplin is one of six finalists in the Rand McNally/USA Today "Best of the Road" contest for friendliest small city in the country. Schatz and Jordon, nicknamed the Rogue Riders, are the judges for the category, and they arrived Wednesday.
They are seasoned travelers already. They have lived in Denver, Los Angeles and New Orleans, and have taken trips on the West Coast and to Pensacola, Fla., in the past 18 months.
Jordon said that while they like to travel as a hobby, they also move around to do work in the television production industry.
"Our trips were kind of work, kind of fun and kind of adventure, all rolled up in one," Jordon said.
The "Best of the Road" contest has five categories. Other categories are most beautiful, most fun, most patriotic and best food. Teams of amateur travel bloggers like the Rogue Riders dash across the country visiting the finalists. They will decide winners in each category and announce them at the Destination Marketing Association International convention next month in Seattle.
Along the way, they blog and post videos and photographs about the places they visit. One team will win a $10,000 prize for its work. The cities that prevail in the various categories will be highlighted in the Rand McNally atlas and can use their victories to promote themselves.
Early start
The team's visit started Wednesday with a sunrise hot-air balloon ride to provide a view of the Shoal Creek valley around McIndoe Park. It was too windy for the balloon to take off, and organizers with the Joplin Convention and Visitors Bureau opted to send the judges up for a tethered ride.
Around the corner from McIndoe Park, they toured Cycle Connection to get a feel for hitting the road on two wheels.
After that, they were welcomed to City Hall by representatives of most city departments.
"It has been a spectacular day already," Jordon told the city employees who waved city flags as they introduced themselves.
At the Joplin Museum Complex, Director Brad Belk led them on a tour of Joplin's ore collection as well as local history exhibits. Local artist Linda Lindquist Baldwin presented them with her "Snickles Survivors," her papier-mache characters that were found after the 2011 tornado destroyed most of the work she had in storage. Their visit would not have been complete without a visit by Percy Katz, the museum's feline mascot, who approached for the obligatory pat on the head.
During their visit to the Candy House, they joked about being probationary employees as they learned to dip strawberries.
"I am literally a kid in a candy store," Schatz said, mugging for the camera, before he learned the technique of dipping. He mastered the first dip. On the second, he pulled the fat, red berry from the smooth chocolate and chomped off a big bite.
"You're fired," Jordon teased, pointing at the half-eaten berry.
Later in the day, they visited Cunningham Park.
AmeriCorps volunteer Angela Rineer, 24, of Reading, Pa., was one of the people who went to the park to greet the judges. She arrived in Joplin 10 days ago to help manage an influx of new volunteers. She said 1,000 volunteers are arriving daily to work on Joplin's recovery.
"It is so welcoming here," Rineer said of Joplin. "Everyone is filled with such hope and happiness in spite of what happened here just a year ago. It has been such an awesome experience."
Jordon said her first day in Joplin was an emotional one.
"It's definitely inspiring to see the community come together," she said. "Everyone has taken such a tragedy and turned it into something good."
The Rogue Riders' travels can be followed on the Joplin Convention and Visitors Bureau's page on Facebook. They also can be found online at www.bestoftheroad.com. They will be in Joplin through Friday.
In the running
JOPLIN WILL BE COMPETING against Murray, Ky.; Frisco, Texas; College Station, Texas; Cloudcroft, N.M.; and San Luis Obispo, Calif.
THE JUDGING TEAM MEMBERS visited Murray before coming to Joplin. They were greeted there with a cookout in a park. They took tours by plane and boat, and watched cliff divers. "Excellent local food," they said of Murray.

NIST study: Clear communications essential for tornado warnings
After hearing the results of a two-year technical investigation into the Joplin tornado by the federal government Thursday morning, Dale Mermoud still had a question on his mind. He wanted to know this: "Why can't they be more specific in their tornado warnings?" After a press briefing at Missouri Southern State University on the National Institute of Standards and Technology study, Mermoud posed that question to the people who worked on the study.
Rebuild Joplin celebrates 100th home since 2011 tornado
Nearly two and a half years after an EF-5 tornado destroyed about a third of Joplin, volunteers and supporters of Rebuild Joplin ceremonially cut the ribbons on the organization's 100th home on Tuesday. "It's an incredible milestone of progress," said Chad Carson, executive director of Rebuild Joplin.
Tornado fund seeks new grant applications
The Joplin Tornado First Response Fund has about $275,000 left to give out, but there were no applicants for its third round of grants. Chairman Phil Stinnett told the board on Monday that there was a public advertisement of the grant round but no one applied.
