Can I use the old bluetooth mouse on a Mac Mini after upgrading to the Magic Mouse?
I have a Mac Mini I bought in July. I use the bluetooth mouse and bluetooth keyboard very successfully. Can I use both the old and the new Magic Mouse concurrently after upgrading Snow Leopard to run the Magic Mouse? I might want to keep the old mouse in use since I bounce between two monitors and I could leave the old mouse at my desk while using the Magic Mouse in front of my 37" Vizio TV.

How good is the magic mouse's latency?
Every bluetooth mouse I have used in the past (both on OS X and Windows) had an annoyingly long latency. In other words, there's a small (but noticeable) delay between moving your mouse and seeing the cursor move, which gives the feeling that the cursor is struggling to keep up. I am wondering how good this mouse is in this respect.

Melusine Austrian Wine
In addition to the complex peppery flavor, what I love most about the Melusine is the way the wine appeals to my aesthetic sense in addition to my palate. As someone who has been known to buy bottles of wine based on the labels alone -- a problematic criterion, I admit -- the Melusine, admittedly, caught my eye in this regard. The clean, simple silver label, embossed with a small Melusine mermaid screams, sophistication and good taste. With the wax seal over the cork, frankly, this wine feels like a steal at $58.99 a bottle. For fans of Austrian whites, I can't think of a better delight than this wine.

MUFE releases a trio of 3 new aqua creams recently, in bright acid colors: 23 is a bright lime green that has micro shimmers, 24 a bright yellow with very very subtle shimmer, and 25 is a bright sky blue shade. These colors photograph beautifully, and have a great creamy texture. Once they set, they don't budge at all.
I find the yellow one particularly creamy, and it seems to blend rather patchy. Might be better to use it as a liner, instead of what I have done in my LOTD, which is to use a fluffy brush to slap it all over my lids ---- because that's what I nornally do with my existing neutral aqua creams in the shade 14.
But once I used my fingers to dab them, the colors went on smoother, and easier to manage.
My LOTD pictures don't really show the shimmery-ness of the aqua creams, and I didn't use any eyeshadow to set them or make them more vibrant or change the finish of the aqua creams --- though I am sure you can pop some bright shimmery pigment over to make the colors pop even more, or to make them look more dimensional.
If you are looking for brightly colored eye colors, you can't go wrong with the aqua creams - the shade range is amazing, and they are multi-functional - they are really waterproof, and one tub will last you a long time. They work great on their own, and also as a colored eyeshadow base.
Photos and swatches:
Here are the three colors,
24 is the yellow
25 is the blue
and 23 is the green
here you can see the lovely sheen
all products used:
base - ettusaid bb cream 10, chanel perfection lumiere 10, chanel natural finish loose powder 10
concealer - cle de peau ivory
eyes - MUFE eyeshadow primer, MUFE 23 & 24 ** I just slapped both on and blended them.. 24 is rather patchy, which makes me think it is better as a liner type of product, NARS Abyssinia eyeshadow as brow bone highlight
liners - Bobbi Brown 27 Caviar Ink, MUFE Aqua Liner 14
lashes - falsies, clinique bottom lash mascara
lips - nude lips --- MUFE Rouge Artist Intense 22, MUFE Rouge Artist Natural 5
- bright lips - MUFE Rouge Artist Intense 37, topped with Clarins Rouge Protege 05 grenadine
cheeks - Chanel 547 Bronze Rose, MUFE Mat Bronze
** a note on the LOTD **
I did this look to illustrate the colors and how they felt while I was playing around with them - I am aware that the placement of colors, and all that blending could have been more artistic or elaborate (so don't take anything too seriously!)...but I don't do intricate complicated eyelooks that don't suit my eye shape. Would I actually wear a bright yellow like this and go out? Not really. If there is a themed event or something which calls for such a look, yes, I would be game to wear this out. But well, on a normal day, i definitely won't wear this bright acid colors on my eyes...in any case, I hope it is helpful to you, and doing two different lip colors also might give you some ideas on how to wear (or maybe NOT to wear) the colors together.
That's all, and thanks for reading.

Go to Expert Advice
You may have a personality disorder if you experience severe difficulties over a long period of time in several of these areas:
You often feel unhappy or distressed and/or find that you upset or harm other people.
Probably about 1 in 10 people has a PD, but many will not be severe.
Personality disorders tend to fall into three groups according to the aspect of personality which seems to cause the main problems:
Borderline, or Emotionally Unstable
Obsessive-Compulsive (aka Anankastic)
Avoidant or Anxious
Psychologists and psychiatrists can help. You can learn to control aspects of your emotions and behaviour which cause these problems.
Our personalities tend to stay constant over a long period of time, so the treatment will often be long-term. The mainstay of treatment are talking therapies, of which there are different types, but drug treatments can also help.
Treatments include:
Counselling and dynamic psychotherapy, cognitive and behavioural therapy (CBT), cognitive analytical therapy (CAT), mentalisation-based therapy (MBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT).
A place where you can attend (or sometimes stay) for several weeks or months, Most of the work is done in groups. You learn from being with other people in a unit. It differs from 'real life' in that any disagreements or upsets happen in a safe place. The staff and other patients help you get through such problems and learn from them.
It has been difficult to study the benefits of medications in personality disorder, which means evidence for their effects is limited. Most drug trials are based on borderline personality disorder.
Antipsychotic drugs can reduce the suspiciousness of the Cluster A disorders. They can also help with borderline disorder if people feel paranoid, or are hearing noises and voices.
Antidepressants can help with the mood and emotional difficulties of people with Cluster B disorders, for example in reducing aggressive, impulsive and self-harming behaviours. They can also reduce anxiety in Cluster C disorders.
Mood stabilisers such as lithium, carbamazepine and sodium valproate may also reduce impulsiveness and aggression.
The evidence is weak because treatments are usually quite complicated, so it is hard to know what part actually worked. The studies are also usually small and rather too short, and the ways of measuring improvement are poor. However, there is growing evidence to show that symptoms of borderline personality disorder can improve and even resolve over time.
This depends on what you prefer as well as the type of problem that you have. However, a lot depends on what is available in your area.

The Miami-Dade County Grand Jury, responding to massive election problems in the county, issued a report Thursday asking that the Legislature make several changes to the state voting laws that its members believe would shorten lines at early voting sites and reduce the chance for absentee ballots to be filed fraudulently.
The grand jury is responding after lines of up to five hours plagued some early voting sites in the county and local media reported on possibly fraudulent absentee ballots being cast. They said many of the recommended changes "are easy to implement as we are only asking that they reinstate laws that were previously on the books."
They said the recommendations are aimed at making it more difficult for persons to commit fraud, make it easier for authorities to detect and prosecute such fraud and increase the punishment for voting fraud.
"The widespread belief is that such illegal activity is rampant," the report said. With several contests decided by narrow margins, "can the public have confidence in the election results of these close races? We are not certain they can."
The grand jury recommended that:
- Each absentee ballot be signed by an adult witness verifying that the voter marked and signed his or her ballot.
- If a disabled person requires assistance filling out an absentee ballot that the helper sign a declaration and return it with the ballot.
- Disabled people who get help filling out an absentee ballot from a non-family member also sign a declaration agreeing to the assistance and return it.
- That only election officials be given information about absentee ballots being requested. Currently, political parties and candidates can get that information.
- The number of early voting days be returned to 15 from the eight the Legislature proscribed before this year's election.
- Large counties like Miami-Dade be allowed to increase the number of early voting sites. Currently, only elections offices, city halls and libraries can be used, limiting the number of sites and increasing the size of lines, particularly in populous areas.
"We need to have these witnesses on these absentee ballots because that's going to help law enforcement detect and follow through who are the bolateros involved, who are they, where are they, and it's going to make somebody think twice before they take that absentee ballot and sign it," said Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle. "I think right now communities throughout the state are ready for election law reforms. I think they've just about had it."
The Legislature is expected to take up election reform in its annual session, which begins in March.

SAN DIEGOCopyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Chargers claimed wide receiver and kick returner Michael Spurlock off waivers from Jacksonville on Wednesday and waived running back Curtis Brinkley. Spurlock originally signed with the Chargers in April and played in the first four games before being released Oct. 3. Spurlock later signed with Jacksonville, where he remained until being waived Tuesday. Brinkley played in seven games this season with one start at running back. He rushed 29 times for 60 yards, caught nine passes for 63 yards and returned four kickoffs for 86 yards. The Chargers (4-7) host the Cincinnati Bengals (6-5) on Sunday.

Woman dies in Gloucester house fire
GLOUCESTER, Mass. (WHDH) -- A fatal fire claimed the life of a woman in Gloucester Saturday night.
According to neighbors, a woman in her 50's lived alone in the home on Windsor Lane.
Some neighbors said over the last few years, they would stop by and take care of her.
"She had friends and they'd make sure she was alright, she was very independent, it's very, very sad," said a neighbor.
Around 11 p.m. Saturday, her home caught fire.
"We were worried it was going to do some damage, but I noticed the house next door looks like it got a little bit of damage from it too," said a neighbor, Melissa.
We're not even through January, and this is already the seventh fire death this year in Massachusetts.
Fire officials believe this underscores the importance of having working smoke detectors.
"By removing line of defense, you lose time, like when firefighters got there last night, there was smoke coming of both windows," said Deputy Fire Chief Miles Schlichte, Gloucester Fire Department.
Fire investigators are still trying to determine if there were working smoke detectors in the home, but say many of the fires they've responded to recently, that has been a major issue.
"We seem to have a resurgence of people being somewhat lackadaisical on the detectors themselves. The batteries aren't in, they're not where they should be, it's becoming an area of big concern, with us, and across the state as I understand," said Deputy Chief Miles Schlicte, Gloucester Fire Dept.
In Gloucester alone, there have been half a dozen fires in the last week and a half. In many cases, the fires started as people were trying to heat their homes.
The cause of this fatal fire in still under investigation though many are wondering if it could have been prevented.

Opponents of Oklahoma's new workers' compensation law are asking the state Supreme Court to find it unconstitutional.

A batch of internal documents recently leaked to The Guardian has revealed new insights into the goals and finances of the secretive group called ALEC. The American Legislative Exchange Council is a group that brings together state legislators and representatives of corporations. Together, they develop model bills that lawmakers introduce and try to pass in their state legislatures.
Oklahoma Department of Transportation officials said Monday they are still concerned with federal highway funding and how it will affect ongoing and future projects in the state.
ODOT Director Mike Patterson said in November that the agency is going be more conservative in issuing new projects because of these uncertainties in federal funding.
Some of the best new oil and gas plays are in some of the most remote areas of the country, where there's little to no pipeline infrastructure to move freshly drilled crude out.

While Gov. Mary Fallin and legislative leaders waited for the completion of an independent study on state employee pay, House Speaker T.W. Shannon approved more than a quarter of a million dollars in annual pay increases for his staff.
Figures released by House officials on Monday show about half of the 117 full-time House employees received raises totaling more than $280,000. The pay hikes for 52 House employees ranged from about 2 percent for a housekeeper to more than 30 percent for three staff attorneys.
The Oklahoma Supreme Court has agreed to take jurisdiction of a case by the parent company of The Oklahoman that seeks sealed divorce records of Oklahoma City mayoral candidate Ed Shadid.
The court said in a Monday order that the Oklahoma Publishing Company has the right to pursue records that a lower court sealed and that it is likely a similar case could arise again.
The court says the judge in the case agreed in 2007 to a joint motion by Shadid and his ex-wife to seal the record.

In just a little over 24 hours from right now President Obama will.
Become only the seventh president since the dawn of the twentieth century to deliver a second inaugural address -- to take you through some of the most memorable.
Speeches is presidential historian nick Oregon nick -- -- Good morning Steve OK so what technically as by statute the president's going to be sworn in today in the blue room before noon but the ceremonial.
Speech tomorrow.
There on the front face of the capital that's what everybody that's what people go to CN and that's what really makes history right.
It does I mean the inaugural such a rare opportunity for the president to actually.
Put aside partnership and make a speech for the ages and we seen over the years there's been a couple of great speeches we can only probably most Americans can only probably remember a few.
But there's four or five that really stand out -- history all right let's start with the first one that you have noted forests and that involves Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
There yeah I mean rose wrote -- was one of the let's listen.
-- -- That's the only thing we have -- -- itself.
Nameless -- -- may not just the pride -- Which Farrah live needed.
Don't convert -- great -- man.
And that's -- -- because there was 1933.
And that you know the depression.
Was on everybody's mind and everybody was afraid so what does he talk about.
-- Yeah it's a great speech in the sense that he didn't get into policy professor -- wasn't -- to do this from -- if you batter had a twenty point plan.
Rather he spend his whole speech talking about the fact that we need to get a steely resolve and see this through when he talked about -- he said.
That's the only thing we have to fear it's not about the future we're gonna be fine it was one of the classics meanwhile let's take a look at John F Kennedy's inaugural back in the sixties.
We know I don't country although there that.
And the globe come back I have it can't truly like the world.
End all my fellow Americans.
Ask not.
What your country -- -- And what you can't build way up country.
And that was fantastic.
It was it's probably the single most memorable and quotable lines in -- in American presidential history.
And again what's interesting like FDR the backdrop for that speech was the Cold War and we were actually losing it we had lost in the space race early on to the Soviets.
We are feeling a bit demoralized and he was saying it's about service to the country.
Sure do -- -- know who writes these speeches is it is it generally the White House.
Shop that does that or did the president write that himself.
Well that and that Ted Kennedy's speech is a famous like Ted Sorensen his longtime speechwriter was often asked that his line was when it's a did you write that speech -- -- -- not -- -- -- at a self.
Typically for our inaugural speech throughout the presidents do like to put their own hurts the paper Ronald Reagan did that and I I suspect the President Obama to will have a a big hand in crafting it too he just mentioned Reagan.
-- -- Here's the -- We as Americans.
Have the capacity now as we've had in the past.
To do whatever needs to be done.
To preserve this the last and greatest bastion of freedom.
In this present crisis.
Government is not the solution to our problem.
Government is the problem.
Very famous as well.
It -- that that line was so -- because it's such a departure from the Carter years and even.
Ford Nixon before it it was the culmination of really twenty years a conservative philosophy starting with Barry Goldwater and it really set the tone for the Reagan president.
Presidency that it wasn't about government it was about people in -- -- winning the Cold War sure in the speech that the president the United States is gonna give tomorrow we understand he's been walking around with yellow legal pad he's been making some notes.
And the only thing I've heard her say and I I wanna hear what you've heard is it it's going to be shorter than the last one what have you heard about what the president's and a intend to say tomorrow.
Yeah it's going to be shorter most second inaugural speeches are shorter out Lincoln's second was short from Washington was the shortest ever so I think going to be shorter more concise.
I think the president if he wants -- create a memorable inaugural needs to focus on one or two themes the inaugural not a state of the union it's not a laundry list.
It's one or two -- have he talked about maybe.
Fixed in the broken politics in Washington which we -- -- you know I was kinda hackneyed but really doesn't care.
Or maybe dealing what long term entitlement reform if he picked one or two big themes.
And just stuck with that I think you'd be better off than creating a laundry list the stuff sure the laundry list comes with the state -- union.
The ceremonial oath and speech tomorrow at -- right here on fox nick thank you very much for jurors earlier this.
Thanks -- that are.

Theme Summary
The book that I have read was a book called Summer Ball. I think the main theme was basically him vs. the world, or at least that's what he thought. "Times New Roman"">Danny Walker has always been the short person in the room, or in the house. He loves playing basketball, but thinks he too short to play point guard for his team. All of his friends encourage him to try out so he does. He does good at the tryouts, but not good enough. The team he wanted to play was stacked with good players and he thought he wasn't good enough. After a while of talking to his dad, his dad wants to become coach of a new basketball team. Read the book Summer Ball by Mike Lupica and figure out how Danny's season goes!

Alberta education minister stands his ground on teacher raises
Province says raise will be five per cent, teachers' association says it should be at least six
Alberta Education Minister Dave Hancock says he's prepared to stand his ground over wage increases for teachers.
The province announced last week that school instructors will be getting a raise of just under five per cent. The government imposed the increase after months of wrangling over a formula used to determine salaries.
The Alberta Teachers' Association calculates the increase should be at least six per cent – a difference of $23 million – and has said it will take the province to arbitration if necessary.
"If one side invokes a process, the other side has to be there to defend themselves," he said Monday.
Alberta teachers have a deal with the government that guarantees five years of labour peace in exchange for annual wage adjustments based on average earnings in the province.
The deal is tied to the Statistics Canada average weekly earnings index, but the national agency recently changed its method of calculating the figure, and that's where the dispute began.
Hancock says everyone needs to work together to figure out how to slice $80 million from the education budget.
"I'll be sitting down with school boards, with the ATA, with the parents association and with other stakeholders in the system through the course of the fall to be really focusing on what that means for the next year and the next two years," he said.

Citigroup (NYSE:C) is one of the world's largest diversified financial services firms, which means that it makes money by loaning out money and receiving interest on the loans.[1] [2] In 2010, Citigroup reached a turning point in which the company was able to achieved its primary goal of returning to profitability, posting positive net income in each quarter and a full-year profit of $10.6 billion.[3] The company was forced to alter its operations in order to reach this point. Citi sold branches such as CitiStreet, CitiBank, and its banking operations in Germany. In addition the company reshuffled and changed its management[4][5] These efforts represent a shift away from an investment bank into a standard holding bank.
Citigroup operates in four regions include North America (including US, Canada, and Puerto Rico), EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa), Latin America (including Mexico, and Asia (including Japan). It's divided into two business: Citicorp, which encompasses Citi's core businesses, the Regional Consumer Banking Division and Institution Clients Group, and Citi Holdings, which overseas Brokerage and Asset Management, Local Consumer Lending, and Special Asset Pool, all of which are businesses which Citi wishes to shrink.
This division provides traditional commercial banking services. Lending opportunities are also available under this arm of Citi, including loans for housing, auto-financing, and for students. Citi also issues credit cards under the Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club, and American Express networks, with around 120 million cardholders globally.[3]
This unit, also referred to as corporate and investment banking, offers financial advice to companies interested in raising capital or involved in mergers and acquisitions and provides clients with cash management and treasury services, such as streamlining multiple asset classes under one processing system. In addition, its Global Capital Markets division provides sales, trading, and research services, and is the second largest brokerage system in the U.S. [3]
Citi Holdings is the division put in place to handle the divestiture of assets that are generally unwanted on Citi's balance sheet. It exists to hold businesses which Citi does not consider to be its core businesses, which are held in Citicorp.[3]
In Jan 2011, Citi announced that it was selling its consumer finance division CitiFinancial as part of its continued effort to restructure the company and focus on its core businesses.[6] This fits into a broader ongoing process by which Citi has worked to sell or decrease its exposure to riskier aspects of the business. This shift in business has been undertaken since the financial crisis.
An increase in US Government regulation could have a substantial impact on the operations of Citi as well as the rest of the financial industry.[7] All holding banks will be prevented from engaging in proprietary trading and in any trades where there is a "material conflict of interest". In addition, "material exposure to high-risk assets or high-risk trading strategies" will be banned. While the impact may be large, the true extent depends on the interpretation and implementation of the regulation.[8]
The Basel III rules will force banks to increase the amount of money they hold against liabilities. While the goal of the regulation is to prevent banks from becoming over leveraged, they may also prevent the banks from creating the same profit margins that they previously were able to attain.[9]
Other regulation may place limits on the extent to which banks may invest in hedge funds or in private equity funds. This is commonly referred to as the Volcker Rule.[10] In order to improve their returns, Citi, like many of its peers, invests in organizations like hedge funds and private equity funds. These funds tend to have higher returns, but also tend to be higher risk. While the regulation aims to lower speculation and high risk investments, it may also prevent Citi from achieving the returns it has historically gotten. Swaps, which are used by banks to offset their risk or hedge against potential outcomes, may also be regulated. This would prevent banks from taking certain positions because the risk would be too high without the possibility of a swap.[11] [12]
Furthermore, regulation imposing a fee to financial institutions that keep their money in the Federal Reserve would increase the cost of operation for Citi.[13][14][15]
After the financial crisis, Citi announced its plans to split Citigroup into Citicorp, its $1.1 billion traditional banking arm, and Citi Holdings, for its riskiest investment assets. Citi stated that the split would allow the company to focus on its core business, and allow Citicorp to return to profitability and stabilize sooner than Citigroup could have as a single firm.[16] [17][18] This move reflects a broader shift in the company's focus towards that of a traditional holding bank. While this move will likely decrease the company's exposure to risk, it may also prevent the company from achieving the same level of returns it has in the past.
Rising interest rates raise the cost of borrowing for all lenders, dampening the overall demand for mortgages and other home loan products. The U.S. Federal Funds Rate could help to stimulate demand for loans and lower default rates by allowing people to refinance their homes at lower rates. [19][20] Housing loans have traditionally been a strong source of revenue for banking firms. With the current interest rate environment, owners of real estate are selling to take advantage of the high short-term rates. With low interest rates in the future, prospective home owners are staying out of the market and waiting for short-term rates to drop before looking for a loan. This over-arching attitude has weakened the housing loans business for banks, such as Citi.
Typically banks charge higher interest rates on loans which qualify as long term debt than they they pay on deposits (short term debt). A flat or inverted yield curve, implies that long-term rates are the same or lower than short-term rates. This drastically reduces the profitability of loans. Citi is particularly vulnerable to interest rates fluctuations as it depends more heavily on wholesale funds than its competitors. This means that its cost of borrowing is higher than that of many rival bank.
Rising corporate income tax rates directly increase costs for taxes paid to the government, which decreases the amount of profits left for banks to fund investments and reinvest in operations. However, changes in tax law can also benefit banks. Proposed fiscal legislative reform which would effectively increase the capital gains tax paid by private equity firms and other money managers could increase the rate of IPOs in the short term. The rise in IPOs would be a result of money managers and PE firms attempting to avoid an increase in capital gains tax.[21]
The U.S. Treasury has proposed a rule requiring U.S. banks to report all electronic transfers of funds in and out of the country. Previously, banks were required to report only fund transfers in excess of $3,000 and cash transfers over $10,000. The new rule would not apply to credit card and ATM transactions. The rule is an attempt by U.S. government officials to crack down on money laundering. This new regulation may deter customers, but also may increase the cost of operation for Citi.[22]
The major players in Citi's league are Bank of America (BAC), Deutsche Bank AG (DB) and J P Morgan Chase (JPM). These firms typically operate on a business model that gradually introduces clients to complex financial services and solutions as the client matures. In this way, these banking firms try to cater to the client's entire life span by offering as many products as possible. For this reason some have identified this strategy as building "banking supermarkets." This mode of thinking has changed recently, as Citigroup increasingly focuses on its most profitable products, continues to cut costs and personnel, and relocates offices to regions that are experiencing robust growth.

In Brief
- Unlike other domesticated creatures, the house cat contributes little to human survival. Researchers have therefore wondered how and why cats came to live among people.
- Experts traditionally thought that the Egyptians were the first to domesticate the cat, some 3,600 years ago.
- But recent genetic and archaeological discoveries indicate that cat domestication began in the Fertile Crescent, perhaps around 10,000 years ago, when agriculture was getting under way.
- The findings suggest that cats started making themselves at home around people to take advantage of the mice and food scraps found in their settlements.
It is by turns aloof and affectionate, serene and savage, endearing and exasperating. Despite its mercurial nature, however, the house cat is the most popular pet in the world. A third of American households have feline members, and more than 600 million cats live among humans worldwide. Yet as familiar as these creatures are, a complete understanding of their origins has proved elusive. Whereas other once wild animals were domesticated for their milk, meat, wool or servile labor, cats contribute virtually nothing in the way of sustenance or work to human endeavor. How, then, did they become commonplace fixtures in our homes?
Scholars long believed that the ancient Egyptians were the first to keep cats as pets, starting around 3,600 years ago. But genetic and archaeological discoveries made over the past five years have revised this scenario—and have generated fresh insights into both the ancestry of the house cat and how its relationship with humans evolved.

'The Bicycle Thief'
Saturday, August 9, 4PM at Savoy Theater in Montpelier. Free.
Contact Info:
- 802-223-9604
- Event Website
Seven Days Says:
In this classic Italian neo-realist film from 1948, a struggling father tries to redeem himself in the eyes of his young son after his two-wheeled means of livelihood is stolen.
Wheel to Reel
Hollywood films love to celebrate the open road — experienced at 70 mph and up. For a more leisurely ride, try Euro cinema. In conjunction with Montpelier's SculptCycle project, the Savoy Theater presents a weekend series of free flicks celebrating the bicycle, running through August 24. This week, Vittorio De Sica's 1948 classic The Bicycle Thief reminds viewers of a time when a family's livelihood could depend on two wheels. The postman of Jacques Tati's 1949 Jour de Fête earns his bread with his bike, too, but that doesn't mean he can't play with it, in slapstick sequences that go way beyond wheelies. French animation The Triplets of Belleville (coming up on August 23) finds surreal comedy in the lean-and-mean physiques of competitive cyclists — with a mocking side-glance at American car culture.

The rooms are really new, it is in an excellent location. It has good wifi conection in the room.
Our first day in the room, I enter to the bathroom there was a hand towel with some short curly hair, looks like someone had cut his hair over it recently
Other hotels should learn with holiday inn. You don't have to be expensive to offer great service. The room was big and comfortable, great location and friendly staff. We had a great time.
The front desk is not exactly welcoming and doesn't give you a good first impression.
Have stayed at the holiday inn and the location is fantastic it's being remodel and it needs it
Our room was right outside of the elavator and could hear everything at all times :(
Location, breakfast (although it wasn't included and it was pricey), cleanliness, contort.
Wifi in the room 7506 doesn't work. I talked to the staff twice in order to fix that and nothing was done about it. It's not a big problem but we were bothered being everyday on the corridor standing, using wifi to send news about the trip to our families.
The room was spotless and well appointed - the house keeping staff were excellent. The hotel location is great - right at the beach. We would like to go back when the refurbishment is completed.
Nothing to complain about - there was building works going on but you cannot gripe about that as it will add to the complex once completed.
Da praia e da localizaçao.
check in - check out - funcionários despreparados - reforma.
that the room keys worked
food; staff not picking up phone; mojito without mint; no directory and order-in menu in the room; no filling up of cosmetics; construction work in the early morning, plastic cups instead of glassware everywhere; how cheap and trashy the place feels despite the high price
Friendly staff, clean rooms. No problem checking out two hours later, nice.( actually we checked in two hours earlier, nice also!)
Beds are too small and uncomfortable for two people. A microwave in the room would be nice. Great location, although eating in hotel is not cheap to put it mildly! No discount being an owner/member at Holiday Inn Club? : big disappointment !!!!
Location is really great.
Poor amenities for customers. Poor recreation activities. No courtesy drink water at the room.
The hotel is really great. Well located, good beach (in our opinion is the less beautiful beach of the island because the water is not crystal clear as the rest of the beaches and the ocean floor is a little muddy. Even being a gorgeous place, I'm just comparing to the rest of the beaches). close to malls, restaurants and night life.
We hated the booking system in place of palapas and beach chairs. You must be there from 2 pm up to 4 pm to book them for the other day. If you are out knowing the rest of the island and don't be there on time you can not use the palapas so you will be under strong sun all day long. And most of people that reserve them just leave the countless palapas and chairs empty (because the palapas is guaranteed up to 4pm) most of the time and you can only use them before 4 pm. We believe the best system should be in order of arrival and while in use, with your stuff and towels over them. The rest is spectacular.
Location, Iguanas
peaple are very nice
no comment
I loved the view from our room of the beach, and the beach itself. The resort has a great beach with easy access, and three nice pools. Shopping and good restaurants were within easy walking distance.
Hotel restaurants were expensive and not that good.
The resort was very, very clean. Most of the staff with the exception of one woman behind the registration desk were very friendly and accommodating. It's a nice location on the island as well.
There didn't seem to be enough staffing at the front desk during peak check-in/check-out times. We booked our trip through booking.com. Our deal included breakfast which apparently is not standard when booking through that website. We were given a great deal of difficulty about that when we arrived although we presented the printed confirmation stating that breakfast was included. Since the reservation department at booking.com was supposedly closed we had to wait until Monday to resolve the situation. We ended up paying out of pocket for our first breakfasts and did not reimbursement. Instead we were given vouchers for each day including the first day which were useless at that point. It wasn't so much the misunderstanding about breakfast (which averaged 15-16 dollars each in the hotel restaurant before tip) as much as it was the rudeness with which we were treated for broaching the subject with the one and only miserable woman on staff working at the front desk in the hotel. Parking could be hard to find at times but wouldn't discourage us from going there again. All in all,this is a great hotel.
Everything was wonderful. Loved being close to beach from pool area.
Loved the location clean rooms amazing views friendly staff
Multiple pools for adults and children
I tried to cancel my first day there because I missed the flight and they charged me
As senior citizens we loved the room the HI-staff gave us.
The check in time is much too late, if you arrive in an early morning flight. We asked for an early check in; this was not granted until around 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Beaches, location
I loved the hotel, great location, nice beach, good pools and great overall design of the hotel - it has a kind of European feel to it
Отличный пляж, отличное месторасположение, детям понравились игуаны, которые живут у бассейна и на обед/ужин обычно "тусуются" в районе Игуана Бара и Гриля, Рядом много ресторанчиков на все вкусы и несколько торговых центров, только из шмоток покупать там нечего, единственное, что привлекает внимание - ювелирные изделия - можно прикупить себе что-либо нестандартное с такими камнями, как карибский топаз и танзинит.
В номере возникли проблемы с электропроводкой и, как следствие, с пожарной сигнализацией (пищала каждые 15 минут), супруга сообщила утром по телефону в регистратуру отеля, но к вечеру проблему не решили, пришлось мне идти на стойку регистрации за "специалистом" - пришел представитель "электриков" и под моим чутким руководством (я к тому времени обнаружил источник проблем) устранил проблему.
we liked the staff and we liked the feeling of be in a safe environment
I like that my 8 year old daughter stay and eat free in both restaurants.
Everything. The hotel was disgusting and it smelled. An absolute pig pen.
I arrived 40min before the check in time (4pm), had to wait; but still after 1600 I had to complain in order not to wait anymore for them to ready a room for me. Also the concierge in a situation which we asked about means of transportations to get to the airport; replied saying we should use the same way as we came! Zero costumer service. Not like Holiday Inn in the us.
