Special Ability (promotion) Ideas:
Special Abilities would be implemented using the CIV promotions system, modified to suit our needs. Special abilities would help balance out the military options in the tech tree. The special abilities would be modeled somewhat on the SMAC ones, but with additions or omissions to better fit in the CIV system.
At the moment it seems like it isn't easily possible to visually represent the special abilities on the unit graphics. A possible substitute for this could be automatically renaming units with the promotion info, for example Missile Infantry with SAM Missiles would be displayed as "(SAM) Missile Infantry", or a Scout Rover with a Laser Turret would become "(LT) Scout Rover". Unlike in CIV we could do this, since the number of special abilities on each unit is limited to 1 or 2.
Note: Special abilities would cost energy, with the cost being a percentage of the hammer cost of the unit. The cost would be listed when you hover over the promotion icon. Not enough energy? No special ability. It would only be possible to add a special ability to a unit if it is in friendly territory. Units would only be able to take 1 special ability, or 2 post-Neural Grafting. It will be possible to reset the special abilities, but you lose the energy invested (and may incur an additional fee). At present CIV doesn't support this but it would be a fairly easy SDK modification.
Sample Special Abilities:
Laser Turret (Applied Physics)
+1 Strength.
Rover, Skirmisher and Foil.
Cost = 0.5EC
Additional Firepower. (particularly useful to turn scout rovers into real combat units)
Nerve Gas Pods (High Energy Chemistry)
Deals collateral damage, kills population when attacking bases (1 per attack).
Infantry, Rover, Chopper.
Cost = 0.5EC
Enhances weapons with lethal nervegas, counts as an atrocity.
Impact Battery (Nonlinear Mathematics and Polymorphic Software)
+1 Strength
Bonus Collateral Damage.
Cost = 0.75EC.
Upgrades firepower of infantry.
COMM Jammer (Advanced Subatomic Theory)
+50% Defense vs Rovers.
Garrison, Infantry, Skirmisher.
Cost = 0.75EC.
Defensive promotion effective against rovers.
SAM Missiles (Doctrine: Air Power)
+1 Intercept.
+50% vs Choppers.
Infantry, Garrison, Cruisers.
Cost = 0.5EC
Adds basic anti-air capabilities to units, or enhances existing anti-air.
Bomb Pods (Doctrine: Airpower)
Bonus Collateral Damage.
Cost = 0.5EC
Turns needlejets into moderately effective bombers.
AAA Tracking (Advanced Military Algorithms)
-50% damage from aircraft.
Adds +25% Intercept Chance (if the unit can intercept).
Cost = 0.75EC
Garrison, Skirmisher, Foil, Cruiser.
Improves defense and offense vs aircraft.
Gatling Turret (Superconductor)
+1 Strength.
+1 Intercept.
Cost = 0.75EC
Rovers, Skirmishers and Foils.
Rapidfire weapon also effective at targeting aircraft.
Hydrofoils (Doctrine: Initiative)
Increases naval movement by +1.

Singularity (Xbox 360)
I just finished "Singularity" in the Xbox 360/UK version (not the censored German edition).
Yes, I know, it is not the newest game on the market. But I can tell you one thing: It's one of the best First Person Shooters that I've played in quite a while. I really liked this game, and that has become a rather rare feeling lately.
Sure, Singularity somehow felt like Bioshock meets Timeshift meets Wolfenstein, but I think that's totally okay. It still had enough originality of its own and it certainly had enough atmosphere to keep me wanting for more. You had a choice in the end. Okay, not much of a choice, but at least you had one. It could have been longer, but at least it didn't have a stupid "super boss" ending like most other FPS bore you with. It had three alternate endings to the story, depending on how you chose in the end, and that's way cooler than an idiotic Über-Fight-Sequence.
You can already buy the PC version for around seven Euros, so Singularity gives you a lot of bang for the buck. If you like the genre, just go and buy it.

176 people recommend parking here 116 left comments
It was very easy to go in and out. A short and easy walk to the stadium.
The parking was very close to the stadium. Parking attendants were very nice. Not crowded. Great price. A lot of other lots further away were charging a lot more money. If you are there to tailgate then you maybe disappointed because no one else was.
Parking is walking distance to stadium, price is right they had good attendants. Would use again.
Easy access to stadium and great parking spaces.
This was so much better than paying $50.00 freaking dollars to park at the stadium. It isn't a bad walk at all ( in good weather). It might have not been as good if it were cold or rainy. I most definitely would recommend parking here . I'm so glad I found the parkwhiz website. - p.s. my hubby was afraid the wheels/tires would be gone when we got back to the car. (We had never parked away before) I'm happy to report that all four of them were still there when we got back :) hahahaha
This is the parking lot for the Caravan Motel. This is a secured, surface level parking lot only 0.5 miles away from Cowboys Stadium.
This location is a business.
Preferred parking for Budget Host Inn, Bodacious Bar-B-Q.
We are located on the southeast corner of E Divison St and N Collins St, across from the QT gas station.

I don't think there's a fruit in the world that can compare, even distantly, with the luscious mango.
I am not talking about the sorry, hard, pale-yellow approximation available here in supermarkets. What I mean is the radiantly golden, deliciously juicy mango that makes an appearance in Indian markets at the beginning of summer.
There really is nothing like an Indian mango, especially the variety called the Alphonso. The bright orange flesh of that fruit, its deeply velvety texture, its sinfully decadent richness of taste is to be eaten to be believed.
This summer, when we traveled to India despite all our worries about the sweltering May heat, the fact that we could gorge on the Alphonso until we could almost eat no more– almost, but not quite–was enough to make the nasty weather bearable.
Coming to today's recipe, I love making fruit (or veggie) breads, but last Saturday I didn't have any bananas, carrots or pumpkin pulp on hand. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention, and when I saw in the pantry a tin of mango pulp that I'd picked up on my last visit to the Indian store, I had a delicious thought.
Now let me make this clear: mango pulp, even the variety that claims to be made from Alphonso, is not all that great. It is too sweet with added sugar and always tastes a little tinny. Still, it comes in handy for mango lassis and shakes, and being a bit of a mango freak, I usually keep one or two tins around.
To make a long story short, I decided to use the mango pulp to make a mango bread. I worked from my pumpkin bread recipe, modifying it as I went along. Since the pulp was much thinner than the canned pumpkin puree one would use for a pumpkin bread, and I wanted to use more of it to get an intense mango flavor, I used a little more flour, cut down on the sugar and water, and doubled the amount of pulp.
The resulting bread was surprisingly delicious, although let me be the first to admit that fresh mango puree would make it much, much better (try it, you lucky souls who live in India). The bright orange of the baked bread was also gorgeous. The two cups of mango puree gave the bread just the right mango-ey punch.
To go with my favorite fruit, I used cardamom, my favorite spice. These two are wonderful flavors both on their own and married to each other.
So here it is, a very special recipe for a very special bread. This one goes to Sweet Vegan!, the vegan food event I am hosting through Oct. 31.
Luscious, Delicious Mango Bread
Whisk together:
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 level tsp powdered cardamom seeds
1/4 tsp salt
In a bowl, beat together until well mixed:
4 tbsp canola or other flavorless vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar
Add 2 tbsp flax seed powder and beat in.
Add 2 cups mango pulp and beat until well mixed.
Add the flour mixture and mix well.
You can add about 1/2 cup of slivered almonds to this, although I didn't because I didn't have any on hand.
Pour the batter into a standard 9X5 inch greased loaf pan and bake in a 350-degree oven around 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, or with a few crumbs stuck to it. Please note that because no two ovens are the same, even at the same temperature, the bread might take more or less time to bake in your oven. Whatever you do, don't skip the toothpick check!
Cool on a rack before unmolding and cutting into slices.
Update: The second time I tried this bread, I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup. The result was just as good, so in the interests of health I am going to update the amount in the recipe above from 1 cup to 3/4.

Do the laundry in less time by following these tips:
* Take a few seconds to spot treat tough stains.
* Don't sort laundry before throwing it into the washer. Simply leave out garments that are likely to bleed and use the coldest water setting on the rest.
* Use the shortest wash cycle, and then treat your load to an extra spin cycle. This will wick away extra moisture and cut down on drying time.
* If you have kids old enough to hit the mall, it's time for them to start pitching in. Assign specific tasks, such as sorting or folding.
* Stash stray items in cupboard organizers for easy sorting.

Making up for lost time
Posted by Courtney E. Howard
Looking back over my life, I realize that, in the interest of saving time and being as efficient as possible, I have missed out on a lot. I don't mean family and friends, or memories I haven't made. I spent valuable time with them, doing just that. I am talking about entertainment. When I ponder the path or route I have taken in life, I find a "pot hole" or two of sorts.
I have opted to work late, sleep longer, and enhance my education, rather than join the rest of the populace in celebrating the latest and greatest films or books, as examples. Just this week, in fact, I watched Aliens for the first time. It was made in 1979. Why did it take me 30 years to see it?! I followed up that piece of cinematic history with a viewing of Aliens 2 .
I was impressed with the visual effects for the time and the prospect of harnessing alien technology for biological weaponry, and yet the movie fell a bit flat with its interpretation of what a combat vehicle would look like in 2157. It was none too impressive; I liken it to a squashed version of a tank. How did they fit all those people and the equipment in there?! Bah.
Thankfully, innovators in the military and defense market (not to mention the automotive industry) have succeeded in delivering far more capable, flexible, and responsive combat vehicles and vetronics in short order. Be certain to keep your eye out for the September issue of Military & Aerospace Electronics for information about the latest and greatest vetronics technologies and applications .

Music royalty went head to head this weekend when KINGS OF LEON and 'Queen B' headlined V Festival.
BEYONCÉ brought the festival to a close with a dazzling performance on the Sunday night.
The 'Mrs Carter Show' wasn't punctual but when it arrived it roared into life in a career spanning set that included hits like 'Who Runs The World? (Girls),' 'Crazy in Love' and 'Single Ladies.'
For me, there was always a risk with watching BEYONCÉ that after hearing so many positive reviews and therefore having such high expectations, I could have been left disappointed.
However, she was just perfect.
The show (once started), was meticulous and stunning. Video interludes and a series of costume changes were works of art that gave the show narrative and insight to BEYONCÉ both as a person and a performer. Her band (drummer in particular), dancers and backing singers were insanely good.
The Mrs Carter Machine reached its end with a tribute to the late WHITNEY HOUSTON in a cover of 'I Will Always Love You,' before ending with 'Halo,' an emotive end to the rollercoaster of a headline act.
It was an exceptional performance; fabulous, fierce, energetic and mesmerising. 'Queen B' deserves her title.
As for the rest of V Festival, it was intense.
I am use to the three-four day festival in which people ebb and flow into tents and stages to watch the music but from the second I arrived at Weston Park, LAWSON were underway on the 4Music Stage and the weekend was in full swing.
It always amazed me how there can be a stark difference in atmosphere from one festival to the next and V Festival proved this again. I have already mentioned the intensity of the festival but I believe this was helped by the variation in genre and experience of the acts and how they filtered that into a line-up.
There seems to be an unwritten rule in which a line-up is decided in putting all the same genres on one stage then ranging from popularity but...V Festival didn't seem to have that. The logical choices didn't materialise which sometimes left me feeling like I was constantly running back and forth between stages.
I also discovered that V Festival is very much a music festival- enjoyed by music fans- there is no room for passengers as the site offers nothing more than just the music. Once the headliners had finished and people were shipped outside the arena, there was nothing else to offer the festival-goers but the inside of their respective tents. It was odd really but it does go some way to explain why V Festival isn't considered the 'family friendly' festival.
I also found V Festival to be the first 'smartphone' festival that I have attended. By that I mean, there was an interactive element involved in the weekend with #Vbigselfie being a trend across the weekend. As good an idea as this, there is the filming of shows and songs in a crowd that comes with that too and so my opinion is divided on the smartphone/festival relationship but I'm sure I won't be able escape it in a few years.
The real victory of the weekend came for 5IVE. Nostalgia fell as heavily as the rain around the Arena Stage as the reformed boy band powered through their hits. Both inside and outside the tent (despite an extraordinary deluge) fans rolled back the years through 'Keep On Movin',' 'When The Lights Go Out' and 'If Ya Gettin' Down.'
After the show, 5ive's Scott Robinson spoke of how he was 'blown away' by the support they had received.
Elsewhere, SEASICK STEVE brought legendary bassist JOHN PAUL JONES with him to the 4Music Stage. SCOUTING FOR GIRLS covered CARLY SIMON's 'Nobody Does It Better.' EELS all wore matching Adidas track suits. STEREOPHONICS rolled out the hits. RITA ORA teased. JASON MRAZ pleased.
In many ways, it was a shame- there was too much good music and too little time. It was difficult to absorb fully. The perfect example came with the headliners for Saturday night: KINGS OF LEON, CALVIN HARRIS, BASEMENT JAXX or JAMIE CULLUM. Amazing line-up.
KINGS OF LEON were excellent- they always are. They jumped through their anthems from 'Molly's Chamber' to their newest single 'Super Soaker' with a stylish fluidity that is synonymous with the Followill brothers.
I do have a criticism.
As much as I enjoy KINGS OF LEON and all of their music, there is something about them live that leaves me a little deflated. They have anthems and they're massive but on stage, there is something a little understated and reserved about them that does not live up to the quality of the music.
I cannot say that I am right but for me, they lack that stage presence and showmanship that comes with other headline quality bands.
That said, before the night was through, I caught the end of JAMIE CULLUM who oozed energy and ingenuity. It was brilliant to see somebody so enveloped in the music they were making and the performance which was capped by 5ft CULLUM leaping from on top of his piano which his band grooved through a jazz mash-up.
I did take the 'long way' round to JAMIE CULLUM, via CALVIN HARRIS who commanded a massive crowd at the 4Music Stage. His unique blend of dance pop was accompanied by an incredible light show which had the crowd bouncing.
A great end to the first day.
Sunday rolled around very quickly but brought with it some more than welcome sunshine.
The day kicked off with a singer/songwriter double in NINA NESBITT and GABRIELLE APLIN. Both filled out the Arena Stage and gave a lesson in the modern day singer/ songwriter category. Talking to NINA NESBITT after the show, she agreed that there is a misconception that there should be nothing more than an acoustic guitar to their acts- thankfully this wasn't the case.
NINA NESBITT, in particular, performed like a rock star with a full band behind her; songs like 'Brit Summer' include comprehensive riffs that inadvertently bring rock music to a commercial audience. She is an incredible talent that is soon to be the voice behind John Lewis; an opportunity that catapulted her counterpart GABRIELLE APLIN in the public eye not 12 months ago.
PALOMA FAITH performing at V Festival 2013.
Sunday afternoon saw a special performance from MARK OWEN who combined his latest solo album with some TAKE THAT classics. PALOMA FAITH waltzed around the Main Stage with a grandiose and elegant show. TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB smashed the Main Stage- I was really impressed by how they went about such a high billing. LABRINTH brought the sunshine out again; he has an uncanny knack of making that happen. FUN were fun.
THE SCRIPT were ridiculously catchy and musically very tight, I always forget how good they are live but for me, I become disappointed when they constantly swear between songs (I know how I sound). In their favour, THE SCRIPT proved they have the quality to act as a main support to BEYONCÉ which is testament to the quality of their music.
Then Mrs Carter arrived and V Festival came to a close with arguably the best female performer of all time giving an unforgettable appointment.
Superlatives are thrown around easily but do not underestimate the fact that she could really be that good. It was unbelievable.
And so, in summary, V Festival was incredible, faultless. The line-up was brilliant and festival-goers were spoiled for choice and as the impetus seemed solely on the music then V Festival consistently delivered to a varied audience. An intense, brilliant festival.

Vitruvian Girl
Unlike the Vitruvian Man, the Vitruvian Girl is not of perfect proportion. She is not the image that represents the blend of art and science during the Renaissance, or the universe as a whole, nor is she the measure of all things "girly". She is however a believer..a believer like Leonardo that the human eye is the perfect instrument in which to learn the laws of nature, and the artist, the perfect person to illustrate them.The Vitruvian girl is a modern one.
She thinks, creates, observes, teaches, cares and shares. And even with her flaws and her fears, she reaches past the circle, out of bounds, free to fall, until she flies…
Follow her and see what wonders she may bring...
Cheeses Christ, Dinner Party for Six !
My gorgeous & gracious friend Leilani lives in the lovely Midtown Miami where we held a cheesy party.
Here we selected an array of delicious cheeses such as Parmesan, Mozzarella, Goat Cheese, Brie, Feta…more MOZZARELLA !
In all honesty everyone was a little too hungry to set the table and we ended up eating the food as it was being put out. So excuse me for not having a fancy theme, but hey this isn't Better Homes & Gardens, real people are HUNGRY.
I inadvertently dressed like a waitress…
Eat. Drink. Repeat.

We desperately need sensible ice control. When will this carnage stop? I blame the NIA for this. Blood is on their hands!
Pray tell, how could this have happened? The bus was registered, inspected up the kazoo, the bus driver had a license, had to fill out all log books, etc. No, this could simply not happen in our socialist utopia!
How very, very sad and my sympathy to the survivors and victims of this crash. Maybe a little sand on the highway would have helped.
where´s Di-Fi on this? Got to ban assault buses. A bus with a capacity of 10 should be enough.s/o. Tragic for those involved. Need to keep them in our prayers.
That would be Cabbage Hill.I travel it regularly @80,000+lbs.Lots of switch backs and steep grades.It is to be RESPECTED.The story didn´t say if the chain law was in effect at the time,but I am inclined to think it was.
We´ve driven this road half a dozen times in the last four years. It´s scary even in Summer time. Steep hills and really sharp curves. Beautiful views coming into Pendleton though.
The transmission was an automatic. Do we need this type of automatic killing machine?Also a little more global warming and that road would not be frozen.BazingaAside..prayers for those who died and the injured.
Ice? Ice? What the heck is ice?Is that some archaic, pre-glo-bull warming word?Please use terminology that the average person can understand. Thank you.
Latest news is that nine people have died.
#6 has it correct. That section of Cabbage Hill is not called Deadman´s Pass for nothing. The safest time for going anywhere near Cabbage Hill is daylight during mild to warm weather. Unfortunately there is no way and no room to widen this highway. This time of year it is just safer to go a different way. It may be the bus had to use part of the shoulder to avoid a semi. The shoulders can be tricky.
Lord, please bestow Your Healing Mercies on the accident victims and their families. Please give the rescue workers and the healers wisdom and endurance.
We have also driven west on that spectacular road several times and the view of the valley below where Pendleton is located is awesome, -unforgettable really, but it is a challenging drive for the driver. I actually think the road has been improved since the first time we drove it.
It´s Albore´s fault. He said this ice and snow stuff was ancient history.

SRWare Iron: A privacy-oriented web browser built from Google Chrome's source code
September 30, 2011 31 Email article | Print articleGoogle Chrome is great. It is fast, pretty, and (typically) renders web pages well. Unfortunately, Chrome has its fair share of annoyances too. Take, for example, the Google Updater that is shoved up your computer's hard disk when installing Chrome. Or the Google Update plugin that is secretly implanted into Firefox. Or the fact that Chrome likes to leave its old files behind after an update. (And the list doesn't end there.) It's really disappointing how Google hurts an otherwise great product with all the above mentioned. However, not all hope is lost. Since Chrome is open source, third party developers have the ability to take Chrome, keep the good parts, strip the bad parts, and provide us with what Chrome should have been from the start.

SRWare Iron
Well! What better time than now to introduce Chrome's little brother, SRWare Iron. SRWare Iron is marketed as a privacy-oriented version of Google Chrome. It is based on the open source Chromium project, which is what makes up Chrome for the most part. In other words, Iron's developer took Chrome's open source code and made his own fork of the browser, minus all the Google junk (and other controversial privacy issues).
Iron vs Chrome
In essence, Chrome and Iron are the same browser. That means Iron performs just as fast, and Chrome extensions/addons work on Iron, too. (Or, at least most of them work — I haven't tried all Chrome extensions so I can't say for sure 100% of them do work with Iron.) There are subtle differences, but generally speaking a normal user would not be able to distinguish the two browsers aside from their logos. Here is a summary of the differences between Chrome and Iron, directly from the mouth of the developer of SRWare Iron:
Other Key Differences
- If you are a fan of Chrome's built-in PDF Viewer, I am sorry to say it is not included in Iron. But heck, there are many great alternative PDF readers out there. I personally recommend SumatraPDF – which also has its own plugin for in-browser viewing.
- Another built-in element of Chrome that isn't in Iron is the bundled Adobe Flash Player.
- Iron updates come out less frequently, and there is no auto-update feature (but the developer says it is in the works). When one does come out (usually monthly), just download and install it over the old. Fortunately, Iron doesn't leave old files behind after an update, unlike Chrome.
- Last but not least, Iron has its own built-in Adblock.
Iron's Built-in Adblock is a Godsend
If you have ever used both Firefox's and Chrome's version of Adblock Plus, you will agree that the Firefox version is far superior. You will notice that, on many occasions, ads get past Chrome's Adblock Plus filter. The developers of Adblock Plus have said that it is much harder to block ads in Chrome because of the way the browser is coded. Here is where Iron's built-in adblock comes to the rescue.
Using Fanboy's Adblock List for Iron, you can now supplement Adblock Plus for its shortcomings. This will be like double-duty adblocking, but from my experience it doesn't slow down the browser, and you will have a superior adblock set-up. Just make sure to leave both adblockers enabled because each one alone will not be as effective. (For more on how to implement Iron's adblocker, refer here.)
Ending Note
One concern of many people is the fact that Iron comes from a third-party developer that is not very well known. This is a fair observation (because, after all, if your browser is malicious you may as well file for bankruptcy right now) and everyone is entitled to their own decision whether to use Iron or not. However, I would like to point out that Iron is open-source, which means anyone can download the source code from the developer's site and examine for any malicious code. I highly doubt that Iron's developers have an underlying motive to trick its users, but as always you are the sole party responsible for your actions. That said, it has been smooth sailing in my personal experience of using Iron for over a year.
Happy browsing!

Thanks for this very usefull article !
Installed Iron a few days ago, all the extensions I'm interested in are working perfectly (including Lastpass).
This browser is just amazing; I use it together with Firefox but with the time, I think I'll even use it more.26Nice to bring attention to this SRWare Iron browser. I discovered it several months ago and using it more and more often (still using Firefox a lot for its convenients add-ons). Despite of its barbarian name, SRWare Iron is very good and its privacy functions are much more than gadgets. I do not trust Google for many reasons. The major one is that Google is trying obviously to track web users and store many private information on you (email in Gmail are all scanned and never deleted from their database, Google install life-time cookie, etc.). Google really sounds like Big BrOOther. And it is.
27For those who choose Iron over Chrome, there is no need to be without the built in PDF reader. If all you desire is simple PDF reading, and not things that other PDF readers (SumatraPDF, etc) afford you, then find yourself a copy of pdf.dll (I got it from D/L and "installing" Chrome Portable – http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable) and put it in the same directory as iron.exe. A restart may be in order, also a visit to chrome://plugins may be required to enable it after chrome restart.
28This browser is unreal and do you know the funniest part ? I found out about it because Lulzsec were bragging about it in their IRC logs which were leaked 6 months ago :)
Hi, I was looking for this but for Mac OSX (Snow Leopard).
But I could not find the corresponding file for pdf.dll in OSX. What would be its name and where could I find it?Thanks!

Our view, the pool, the staff at the pool bar, Room with a View- all amazing. Staff at check in was very welcoming.
The main hostess at BTG was overwhelmed and shared it with customers. Roosters....
The staff had a friendly attitude. They were awesome to me from beginning to end. The view was amazing. The on sight restaurant room with a view was awesome especially happy hour.
The timiliness of very few staff people on getting necessities but you are in the Caribbean. The location made taxis necessary. Cabs prices are not reliable and cab drivers are shady. They only want to take you certain places. Some of the appliances were outdated and they need to invest into buying new towels. The old ones have had it. One of the restaurants was pricey and the value of the food lacked for the price. It was not room with a view. That was awesome.
Again stayed here for one night on the way back from bvi before flying home to uk. Got another very warm and friendly welcome from the front desk. Room was lovely and clean and spacious. We ate in The Room With a View restaurant which was lovely - food and service excellent. We walked to town in the morning for a brief shopping experience before heading to the airport - hotel very good at checking us out promptly and keeping hold of our luggage whilst we shopped. Great location, friendly staff would use again.
We booked to stay here for 1 night on the way through St Thomas to the bvi. We arrived about 9pm at night very tired from a long journey and the lovely warm welcome from Reception was greatly appreciated. We ate straight away in the bar over looking the harbour - again the staff couldn't be friendlier and the food great - room was excellent - very spacious and clean. Joe the taxi driver took us to the fast Road Town Ferry in the morning and he was lovely too. Great location for getting the fast ferry over to bvi only about 5 minutes taxi drive away from the port and also close enough to the airport to only take about 10 / 15 minutes to get to after arrival. Would use again.
I liked the atmosphere, view and the location. The residents staying in Blue Beard's that I met were very friendly and kind. I am originally from the Islands,but live in the states and always find enjoyment in my trip with friends and carnival.
I stayed for 7-8 days and asked hotel staff for an extra role of paper towel since we only had a 1/2 roll in the kitchen area, but they stated that it was already an extra one under the cabinet, when it was not!! I feel like there need to be more checks and balances with inspecting the rooms. I can't believe hotel staff was ready to charge me for an extra roll of papertowel instead of rectifying the problem and making a customer satisfied. I paid quite a bit of money to stay with you all, so what's a $1.50 roll of papertowel?? Because of this problem, I will never stay here again. I didn't know there were guidelines to how much paper towel a family can use. What's next, the toilet paper??? This is beyond real! Especially when someone is paying for multiple nights and have the room service charge being charged daily. Also, the bed linen was filthy and could use clorox to brighten up the white sheets and kill germs. Overall, I felt the service was horrible and would consider staying somewhere else when I return in September.
The employees was well manners...the location the environment was lovely. The rooms was clean and the view was awesome.
Lovely room, great happy hour at wine bar
Location, location, location! -overlooks Charlotte Amelie and inner harbor. Scenery is gorgeous by day and night
The views are amazing and restaurants are very good
Rooms are dated and bathrooms quite old and dirty
Elevated beautiful location. Lovely gardens and outside space. Room With A View restaurant has an excellent menu choice, great food and friendly staff.
Beautifly pool to look at! Very deep swimming pool,10 feet next to walk way and childrens pool, no grab rails. 4 feet by waterfall steps, but drops instantly to close to 5 feet. Need removable shade parasols for sunloungers as the 8 sunbeds under the shade awning were reserved by time share residents.
Great room with good facilities.
Grumpy, unhelpful check-in man who doubled as a night audit clerk .
Very friendly & helpful staff
Stairs & hills may not be suitable for older people
I loved the size and condition of the unit.
My reservation with booking.com couldn't be found. It took the night attendant an extraordinarily long time to figure out what to do with us.
The View was spectacular and the unit was very spacious.
Location is just perfect, the staff was attentive, especially Claudette who was at the front desk. The restaurant was very good. Despite a long delay for our entree, the waiter offered to comp us with desert. When we declined, he took it upon himself to credit us for several drinks we had ordered which was very professional and service oriented. The rooms were large, bed was very comfortable. I had the chance to book at Marriott Frenchmans reef and use points but chose to pay to stay at this hotel because of a previous poor experience at the Marriott and because of the value I felt I would get based at this hotel on the TripAdvisor ratings.I Am glad I did!
The only place to get breakfast was at the pool/bar. There were limited tables to sit and eat there. The service was slow- not through the fault of the person who was working there as he alone was working the bar and acting as waiter and busboy and payment person. He was excellent but the hotel should put more people on the only location they offer breakfast and brunch.

Beautiful views of St. Thomas. Comfortable mattresses. Nice rooms.
Would have loved to have an AC outlet by the bed to charge mobile phone.
Room with a View Restaurant - Excellent
Very bad service Problem with reservations online Simple requirements are not taken into consideration even when requested at time of reservation
All four restaurants and bars are privately owned, so the staff/owners are super friendly and accommodating. The views from the rooms were amazing and the rooms themselves were great! the location is great, close to town but the steep hill will take your breath away...
Wifi should be complimentary!
Views from room, spacious.
Staff, service.
Location, friendly staff, good eats
Internet kept kicking me off even though I had purchased it
Check in flexibility was good. The view from our room towards the cruise port was fantastic.
I did not know that this is a timeshare facility and therefore the rooms are only cleaned once per week.
The view
Check in took 3 hours

Altria has been a strong performer this year up 22% over the S&P 10%. It continues to be a strong buy on most analyst and investors radars. The stock has formed 2 bases in the last 6 months and each has resulted in a $5 move.
Well its coming out of a base again and it is in a prime positon to be a short squeeze candidate. The short interest ratio is at 6.6 the highest it has been in 2 years. If the stock continues on the same path its been on its could pop as shorts start to cover.
