The Spiritual Atheist..
If the purpose of speech is to convey a message. And an atheist calls himself spiritual. Isn't that person misrepresenting himself by using a word that is most largely viewed to be synonymous with "soul"? Even if he himself has his own unique meaning for it (which takes a 5 minute video to understand)
Let's be honest most people hear the word spirit and think soul.. don't they?
It seems like a way of justifying for no reason. If there is a lack of a better word... make a new one. To me I find that people are kind of ridiculed or perceived in a derogatory way if they admit or "come out" with believing they do not have a soul. Like you are somehow less of a person, lacking mystery, etc.. So when someone tries to find a convoluted means of explaining why they call themselves "spiritual". I feel that they are pandering to this unfortunate misperception.
Soul is an understanding or feel for music.
Spirits is some really good booze.
I'm here to help.
Gregg, when spirits are applied to mean alcohol are they normally clear? Didn't the moonshiners used to judge the quality of the moonshine by it's transparency?
Actually many liquors are colored with caramel. They're brown.
By the way, Dragotron, I didn't mention it before, but that was an excellent video. Good job.
"No, an atheist should NOT call himself "spiritual"."
Someone should tell Sam Harris that.
Mike - your browser has nothing to do with it - if others have replied to a particular post before you did, your comment will appear beneath theirs, and there's nothing anyone can do about that.

A dashboard is an important business tool that provides real-time graphical representation of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for a business process. It conveys current status in a graphical manner, which helps surface problems and aid quick decision-making. Learn how to use Visio to create dashboards that make sense and immediately deliver value.
Successful Business Process Management (BPM) initiatives start with process diagrams, and the new Visio can help business analysts create great-looking, professional process diagrams fast.
Visio makes it easy to build visually compelling organization charts and enhance them to meet your specific business needs. You can bring even more business insight into your diagram by showing multiple data graphics with a single shape.
Visio templates make it easy to build compelling diagrams that communicate visually. In this post, we'll look at how to display information with data graphics.
Visually displaying always up-to-date information on clearly laid out diagrams helps to communicate information effectively. In this post, we will see how to connect data from external sources to a diagram. Associating data with shapes on a diagram does not require any code. Learn how to use the simple wizard which guides you through linking your data source to your diagram.
Learn about Visio, a program designed to help you make diagrams for flowcharts, room layouts, timelines, organizational charts and a lot more. We'll start at the key of Visio: understanding how its shapes work.
See the trailer here, or watch the full webinar by clicking "read more" below.
What you will learn at Tuesday's webinar
Visio offers over 60 types of professional templates to build compelling diagrams, and organization charts are among most frequently created. Visio organization charts are simple and visual, but what if you want to connect them to key business indicators your organization is tracking, such as sales by region or department or budget by department, vacation status, training reports? Sometimes this information is located in another source such as Excel or a complex database. Data-linked diagrams let you add data to Visio diagrams—no code required--and anyone in an organization can quickly create such dashboards to get better insights into data using Visio Professional 2013 or Visio Pro for Office 365.
The new Microsoft Visio, powered by interoperability with Microsoft SharePoint and Office 365, provides a strong social, mobile and cloud-based infrastructure for Business Process Modeling (BPM). In addition to the newer workflows and collaboration features, it also offers several new diagram templates that support the latest industry standards, such as BPMN 2.0 and UML 2.4.
Look for us at the Gartner BPM Summit April 2-4, 2013 as we take our very compelling and well-recognized BPM story to the Washington D.C. area. Microsoft is a Platinum sponsor of the summit, and we are very excited to speak with a variety of customers, partners, analysts and press while at the event. Do join us if you can!
We've appreciated the reception of the new Visio, including the great feedback from early adopters around the ease of use improvements and the ability to work as a team on a single diagram at the same time.
For those looking for a single place to find out information about the new Visio, please read on to learn more about the new Visio website.

Modification Monday: Plum Frost Stockholm
Original Pattern: Stockholm Scarf
Knitter Extraordinaire: Lea (Ravelry ID)
Mods: Created a matching slouchy hat with stockholm pattern brim, and a stockinette cap.
What Makes This Awesome: Well I'm already a bit biased on this one (Stockholm Scarf mod, yay!), but I genuinely love the slouchy hat! What a great idea for a matching set - the hat looks amazing with the scarf, and the texture of the brim is lovely and deep. Lea wrote great details on her hat, which can be found on her project page, here.

Before i strain my eyes at reading all the threads and articles, i am just going to do the one thing that annoys me and create a thread that has probably been posted before.
This is most simple question i do believe.
When exactly is RBN going to be released to the public. When you download the songs, do they stay on your hard drive and in your songs list or do you have to be on the RBN to play these songs? I don't plan to ever create content but also, do you have to pay to be able to download these? i know there isn't supposed to be a price on the songs, but do you have to buy like a membership or anything, besides XBL Gold?
Thanks for you time if you reply

Florida 3, Detroit 2 (SO): Wings cough up another late lead, fall
The Red Wings had a two-goal lead dissolve into a 3-2 shootout loss tonight at BB&T Center to the Panthers, losing to the team for the second straight game.
- 11:58 PM, Dec. 10, 2013
You will be redirected to the page you want to view in seconds.
sponsored by
Gustavsson will make the first of what's expected to be a string of starts tonight when the Detroit Red Wings play the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Tampa Bay Times Forum (7:30 p.m., NHLN, FSD).
Former Wings D Mike Commodore believes Mike Babcock had it out for him from the moment he was being recruiting to Detroit.
The Red Wings had a two-goal lead dissolve into a 3-2 shootout loss tonight at BB&T Center to the Panthers, losing to the team for the second straight game.
Jimmy Howard swears the Olympics aren't weighing on his mind, only the Detroit Red Wings. Howard is getting another chance to regain his footing tonight when the Wings play the Florida Panthers at BB&T Center (7:30 p.m., FSD).
Fighting through the discomfort of sitting through a three-hour flight, Zetterberg made a surprise appearance as the Wings prepared for a two-game swing through Florida. Zetterberg will miss his fourth straight game Tuesday when the Wings play the Florida Panthers at BB&T Center (7:30 p.m., FSD). They continue the trip Thursday at TampaBay.
Hey, sports fans! Jeff was here at 11 a.m. to answer any questions you have about Detroit sports. Read the chat replay here.
Alex Ovechkin scored four goals, including the equalizer with 32.4 seconds left in regulation, and the Washington Capitals rallied to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning, 6-5, in a shoot-out Tuesday night.
Pavel Datsyuk will be centering Johan Franzen and Todd Bertuzzi. Franzen had an exceptionally good stretch while Datsyuk was gone, producing four goals among nine points. Coach Mike Babcock doesn't want to see any drop off from Franzen just because the team's most dynanic player is back.
Take a look back at the sports figures we lost this year.
Evgeni Malkin scored in his return from a lower-body injury, Sidney Crosby added his 16th goal, and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Columbus Blue Jackets, 2-1, on Monday night.
Jonas Gustavsson lost on Saturday night. But it was his play in the second period of the Wings' 2-1 loss to the Panthers that kept them a bounce or two away from a win. 'We got real good goaltending,' head coach Mike Babcock said. 'I thought we got through the second period with goaltending.'
Jonas Gustavsson lost for the first time in regulation this season as the Red Wings slumbered through the second game of a back-to-back, losing 2-1 to the Flordia Panthers.
Jonas Gustavsson lost on Saturday night, the first time in regulation this season. The Wings goaltender only missed two shots, but had his five-game winning streak snapped in a 2-1 loss to the Panthers at Joe Louis Arena.
There is pretty much universal agreement within the locker room that if cameras and microphones can transcend Pavel Datsyuk's heavily accented English, people are in for a treat. Bertuzzi will be interesting to watch, to see if cameras can capture the 'warm and fuzzy' aspect of his nature, as described by former teammate Chris Osgood.
Johan Franzen continued what's been an impressive outing Friday as he scored the game-winning goal against the Devils. Franzen has four goals and five assists the past six games, helping the Wings win five times during a stretch that's seen them without their most creative forward, Pavel Datsyuk.
Brunner has found out the hard way how different it is for a finesse forward to fit into a chip-and-chase system, much like Igor Larionov did when he left Detroit for New Jersey a decade ago. It was a very deliberate decision by Devils coach Pete DeBoer to make Brunner a healthy scratch against the Wings on Friday night.
Johan Franzen has performed to his size over the past half-dozen games, emerging as a reliable go-to guy while another is healing. He scored for the third straight game Friday at Prudential Center to lift the Red Wings, 3-1, past the Devils.
General manager Ken Holland told the Free Press that Datsyuk has been cleared from a concussion following a visit to a specialist Friday. Datsyuk is cleared to play Tuesday, when the Wings are at the Florida Panthers.
This is who's in for the Wings: In net, Jonas Gustavsson. Up front, Todd Bertuzzi joins Johan Franzen and Gustav Nyquist, Stephen Weiss is with Justin Abdelkader and Daniel Alfredsson, the third line is Drew Miller, Joakim Andersson and Tomas Tatar, and the fourth is Daniel Cleary and Cory Emmerton and Mikael Samuelsson.
HBO crews were in the Red Wings' locker room and on the ice at the Joe on Thursday to begin taping '24/7,' the four-part series that will lead up to their Winter Classic game against the Maple Leafs on Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium.
It wasn't a secret that Mike Commodore was no big fan of Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock when he signed a 1-year deal with the team before the 2011-12 season. Two years later, he opened up about his short-lived experience with the Wings.
'We lost the game. I don't really know why. We just seemed to lose focus. We stood around watching. I was quite upset about it. We played good for two periods, but in the third, we just gave up and suddenly lost the game.'
Nick Bonino and Kyle Palmieri scored in the shoot-out to help the Anaheim Ducks beat the Chicago Blackhawks, 3-2, Friday night.
Datsyuk has missed six straight games because of a concussion. It hasn't been decided yet, he said, whether he'll make the trip with the team for Friday's game at the New Jersey Devils (7 p.m., FSD).
Quincey cost the Wings a first-round pick in the trade, but they were desperate at the time, with half the team injured. He can still bring something in return. Quincey is just entering what's considered an NHL defenseman's prime years, and he showed offensive upside while with the Colorado Avalanche. Other teams might well see him fitting in better in a different system, and the Wings would benefit from a cleaner landscape.
Weiss helped out with an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers at Joe Louis Arena. Weiss played with Johan Franzen and Gustav Nyquist. Whether Weiss gets another chance on the line likely depends on how soon Todd Bertuzzi returns from a shoulder injury.
Before the game, Nyquist accepted his 2013 rookie of the year award from the Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association.
'Anytime you're up 3-1, you want to win the game,' coach Mike Babcock said. 'Our penalty kill has been stellar for us all year long, gave up a couple of goals. We had power plays ourselves and never got it in.'
'We are all human, and I was thinking about the Olympics more than I should,' Pacioretty said. 'As soon as I stopped thinking about it, I started to find my rhythm.'
Carmelo Anthony had 19 points and 10 rebounds, Iman Shumpert scored a season-high 17 points, and the Knicks ended a nine-game losing streak with 113-83 romp Thursday night over the Nets in the first meeting this year between the city rivals
'When I come off IR, I don't know if I will be ready right away,' DeKeyser said today, after joining teammates for an optional morning skate. It's the first time DeKeyser has skated in a group setting, having gone on the ice by himself the first two days this week.
'I am pleased to collaborate with such a creative company as Sauce Hockey,' Datsyuk said in a release. 'I look forward to being involved in the development of my new line of apparel products and hand sanitizer for hockey players with dirty hands.'

I will never forget my first packed lunch. I was eight years old, and inside my turquoise Pocahontas lunchbox was a cling filmed ham sandwich, a Penguin chocolate bar and a rather battered apple – and I could not have been more excited. You see it had taken nearly three whole years for my mother to finally give in to my 'incessant whinging' and switch me from hot school dinners in the assembly hall with my sister, to cold packed lunches sat outside in the playground with my friends and their freezing bottoms sat on the tarmac.
What can I say, I was naïve. My steaming buttery (s)mash and juicy salty sausages became a limp and slightly moist sandwich with some pretty unappealing accompaniments. Looking back I can see now that I was a fool. I was weak, the bright lights of the playground and the promise of a foot on the social ladder was just too hard for this girl to resist.
And now, although I no longer sit on the floor to eat it – I still have my cold packed lunches and the novelty has most certainly worn off. At lunchtime, sixteen years later my ham sandwich and bruised apple just are not cutting it any more. I want something different, healthy and tasty – is that really too much to ask?
'But we're busy!' I hear you cry. Understood. Having a hot meal, or even a meal that is not a sandwich at lunchtime just simply does not fit into the average persons schedule. Most of us will eat at our desks, and take about a tenth of our allotted time and it is all over before you can say 'Ham or cheese today?'
In the evenings however it is a very different story. To have the same dish twice in a week for dinner is a veritable crime and yet to have the same lunch meal everyday is perfectly acceptable. So, I fed the last of my bread to the ducks and chucked the cheese out to the garden birds and started to cash in on the difference in rules; (and now do not get me wrong I am aware that this is not a new concept to a lot of people, but I have been really struck by the benefits) I have started doubling up my evening meal portion size so that I can use the leftovers for lunch tomorrow – and I am a real convert.
The list of benefits has made dinner-for-lunch a no-brainer, it is crazy how few us manage to actually make dinner-for-lunch meals. Firstly, it is a real time-saver; calculate how long it takes you to slice your bread and find the illusive end of the cling film compared with pouring a little extra pasta in the bowl or chopping an extra carrot… Secondly it is a money saver and considering the average London pre-packaged sandwich costs over £2.50, this is an irresistible perk.
Of course there are some meals that carry over to the next day better than others, and some food that should not be reheated. Rice for example, once cooked for the first time begins growing traces of bacteria which upon reheating, multiplies and could give you food poisoning. Pasta, and other starches are fine however – and if you are a little concerned, are more than suitable for eating cold. This week I am going to provide some basic recipes that I have found work perfectly as a Dinner-for-lunch meal so why not see how much time and money you can save whilst adding a little variety to your lunch time.
Dad's Three Bean Pasta
A recipe from my very special Dad, who's cooking was traditional, hearty and filling. I chose to add this recipe because it is tasty warm – but even tastier cold so perfect for your working lunch.
Ingredients Serves 4
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped.
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 carrot, chopped into small cubes
1 courgette copped into small cubes
1/3pint vegetable stock
1 tin chickpeas
1 tin mixed beans
1 tin kidney beans
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Handful of fresh basil.
Salt and pepper
- In a large saucepan heat your onions and garlic until the onions has softened.
- Pour in the tomatoes, carrot, courgette and stock. Sprinkle your oregano into the mix and leave to bubble for 10 mins.
- Drain your chickpeas, mixed beans, and kidney beans and add into the mix. Season with salt a pepper. Leave to simmer for 20mins, then put your pasta to boil.
- Once your pasta is cooked, and your sauce has reduced by 1/4, in a large bowl mix your pasta, fresh basil and sauce together. Eat immediately, or leave in the fridge to eat cold the next day.
Delia's Watercress Soup
This is a family staple in the cooler autumn months. This is one of Delia Smith's many culinary triumphs and it freezes amazingly well. So get your blender out and store up some of this delicious soup for any miserable lunch time.
Ingredients Serves 6
3 large bunches of watercress, stalks removed and chopped.
Knob of butter
2 leaks, chopped.
4 medium sized white potatoes, chopped.
3 pints vegetable stock
3 tbsp crème fraiche
Salt and pepper, warm crusty bread to serve.
- With the butter, in a large sauce pan put your watercress, leeks and potatoes. Season and leave to heat for about 20 minutes, making sure all of the potatoes are covered in butter. The watercress will shrink dramatically.
- Now add your vegetable stock – and leave, with a lid on to simmer for a further 15 minutes. By this point the vegetables and potatoes should be tender and soft.
- Put the mixture into a blender or food processor and liquidise. This may take a few rounds as this recipe produces a large amount of soup.
- Once fully blended, return to the pan and heat gently having added your crème fraiche to give the soup a creamy texture.
- Once warmed through, season if necessary and serve
So there we have it, a couple of very easy and scrumptious recipes to add a little variation to your lunchtime.

""Hodnotí: Michaela V, "Česká republika". Datum: 24. 02. 2012
Celkový dojem ze 14 denního pobytu je velmi dobrý. Snídaně dost slabá, jsme zvyklí na větší výběr. Na výběr bylo asi ze tří druhů vajec na počkání - 2 vejce na měkko trvaly asi 15 minut... takže vás při čekání přešla chuť. Výběr ze tří tvrdých sýrů a tří salámů. Ovoce dostatek (jelikož je samozřejmě všude okolo na stromech). Personál snaživý a velmi úslužný. Občas trochu nechápavý - neumí dobře anglicky. Často se mi stalo, že jsem si objednala jídlo a donesli mi jiné (během 10 minut vyměnili), ale samozřejmě partner už měl dojedeno a já jedla sama... takže docela neprofesionální - za ty peníze... Např. místo lososa jsem dostala tuňáka, místo carbonara arrabiata... Víno extrémně předražené - nejlevněší kolem 1.500,-- Kč na naše (samozřejmě něšlo pít). Nejobyčejnější Moët stál 4.000,-- Kč na naše (v Makru lze koupit za 600,-- Kč bez daně).

Located on the west coast, Patong Beach is the most popular beach in Phuket. This two-kilometre-long beach offers everything from water sports and massages to food and drinks. The nightlife selection is infinite, including the famous Soi Bangla with its numerous bars, neon lights, and night clubs; dining along cliff-side restaurants with views of the coast, or at the two Thai food courts on Rat-U-Thit Road. The beach transforms into a night bazaar nightly, packed with colourful stalls selling beach wears and leather goods.

The negatives.The hotel service at reception we found to be a long wait due to insufficient staffing and when the room was serviced it was not vacuumed however it was still amazing. Patong in Phuket is the place to be and staying at Baan Laimai Beach Resort you wont be disappointed. Its location is unbeatable as your within walking distance to shopping, […] bars, clubs, food and the beach is at your doorstep. With a live band every night, a restaurant and bar located at the front of the hotel you can enjoy happy hour cocktails from 11am-11pm. The customer service skills from the team in the bar & rest are of high quality and just for that I would stay at Baan Laimai Again. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com

"Great Location"
Having read a lot of negative reviews about this hotel i arrived with an open mind. Check in took all of 10 mins, the fella who checked us in helped with our bags and took us to our room. Buffet breaky was great and plenty of food to choose from. Great pool and pool bar and general location was fantastic as everywhere is within walking distance for […] entertainment and shopping. Found a great small bar behind the hotel complex that became our local. If i had to find a negative , i found the water in the bathroom fluctuated in temp from luke warm to hot.

"Great Location!"
The only issue was that the room we were allocated was a little old and there was a damp/mouldy smell. This could because we booked a room with no window. Nonetheless, the beds were very comfortable, towels were changed daily, breakfast was decent, the pool was beautiful and overall it is a hotel I will return to (Except, I would probably book a balcony […] room in future, as it seems to have newer furniture and would definitely be better ventilated.) The location was PERFECT. We never had to pay for a tuktuk or a taxi because it was a short 3 minute walking distance to Jungceylon, Bangla Mall, Bangla street... etc. and it was surrounded with seafood restaurants and massage parlours. Despite this hotel being centrally located, we were not affected by much noise. Hotel staff were nice and friendly. Had a small injury and they were really nice to bring out a first aid kit. Just note that there is a strict check-in time at 2pm. We saw some guests trying to check in at 1.50pm and they were declined. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia

"A great place except for the front desk"
I was already in Thailand and booked this hotel two days prior to arriving at it. Check-in here was an absolute nightmare. I was told at 2 PM that my room was not ready and would be within 30 minutes. 45 minutes later, I was told it would be ready within 30 minutes (again). When pressed further, they admitted that they had no idea when the room would […] actually be ready. I could let that go (though annoying), however, the thing that really blew my mind was that they wanted to send me to another hotel for the night. Their solution to this problem was to shuttle people (not just myself, there were other guests waiting like me) to another hotel to spend the night while the rooms were prepared and then get us the next morning. I can honestly say I've never heard of anything that happening anywhere else. We decided to wait for the room and a full two hours and thirty minutes after the posted check-in time, I received a room. This was enough to ruin that day for me. However, we spent 5 nights there and the rest of the time was very good. The other staff were generally friendly and helpful. The room itself was nice, although the water temperature in the shower was inconsistent. We spent a decent amount of time at the pool which was also very nice. Check-out was less of a hassle, but I was made to wait 20 minutes for them to check the room. Overall, this is a really good hotel because of the location, the pool, and the room but prepare to be annoyed on the first day. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia
"A Good Hotel"
A good and clean hotel. Room are very spacious come with a balcony. Stone throw from distance to Patong beach. Only thing is the front desk have limited staff that can speak and understand good english. And everytime when we call for housekeeping they took a very long time to do it or at times they just forgot about it. But overall its a very nice hotel […] with a beautiful pool and a 24 hours Family Mart next to it. Highly recommended and will definitely go back there for our next phuket trip.

"Terrible Front Desk"
I have stayed in about 40 hotels in Thailand over the past two years. This one ranks toward the bottom. The biggest problem was an inexperienced front desk staff--and absolutely no manager in sight. I had to wait 90 minutes for my room (I arrived at 1500hrs). However, there were many others who had been waiting for hours--and had been "walked" the night […] before, despite having a confirmed room. The hotel appears to be very poorly managed. When checking in, front desk agents would physically go up to the reserved room (6 floors), to check to see if the room was clean/ready. Clearly, there was poor communication between Housekeeping and the Front Desk. Additionally, all guests had to provide THB 3,000 (about USD 100) as a deposit. Interesting... Two days later at check out, the staff was dour and perfunctory. Lastly, the lay out of this hotel is wildly inefficient and confusing. The Front Desk--which should be full of welcoming and smiling staff, was tucked in the back corner of the hotel--about 50 meters from the sidewalk...This is the longest review I have ever made--but this place really leaves a lot to be desired.

We have been staying in Patong beach on many occasions and wanted to try a different holiday location because of having my 80 year old mother with us. We chose your resort because of its location firstly and secondly due to the website. Upon arrival we were able to go into our rooms earlier than thought which was fantastic and were shown to our room […] and were pleasantly suprised by the spacious rooms. The pool area was fantastic and with the added swim up pool bar and service this was great. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"Hotel clean and friendly..."
The hotel was located in a great location central too everything..this was my 5th trip too Phuket and I like trying a new hotel everytime I go there. The rooms were clean and big..but some people might find the beds abit hard for them... Also they have a band on every night in the open restaurant which plays from 7.00pm till midnight quite loudly..so […] if your going too bed before midnight you might find trouble falling asleep. Other than that had a great 2 weeks stay at Baan Laamai Hotel (12-26 JULY 2013)..staff very friendly and very accomondating...overall very happy with everything..

We really were not so pleased with the reception staff. They were inefficient, dismissive and bordering on rudeness. Breakfast is not so fabulous but we did love the hotel ambience. It was so relaxing just to lounge by the pool. The pool is really very nice. The location is also good, near the beach and the neighbourhood feels safe.

Well, im not much of one to complain but this place has seriously gone backwards. From rude staff and security, extremely slow check-in/check-out, room being made at 6pm and a cold shower at best and thats when water was coming out. We were told the pump pushing water through the buildings was blown and we had to put up with it. No offer of compensation […] whatsoever and mind you this was my third stay there. Only thing going for this place is location and thats about it. To top off all this my girlfriend was called a prostitute by the security guard because shes of asian descent and one night i was told i even had to pay a "guest fee" for her. If this place was in australia or any other westernised country it would of been closed down a long time ago. Do yourself a favour and stay away.

"Could be better."
I have stayed at Baan Lai Mai last year and I must say it was more enjoyable then. My recent stay was dissapointing due to being in the older building. We had no hot water and the very litlle hot we did have was with next to no water pressure. The staff did nothing to fix the problem and could not offer another room. The excuse we got was it's a old […] building. I say if its a old building and you can not provide hot water DO NOT HAVE THE ROOMS FOR SALE!!!!!

"Not bad for the price if you choose deluxe seaview"
This rating is for the 1st room that was TERRIBLE. Definitely do the deluxe option not the standard. You should also request to be on the highest floor as possible because there is a band that performs in the front of the hotel EVERY SINGLE NIGHT and they are SO LOUD! It echo's throughout the hotel, but if you are on a higher floor you won't hear it […] too much. We were on the 1st floor because we chose the standard room with pool view, but boy was that a mistake. I couldn't sleep all night and they didn't have an available room until the next day. They offered us 2 twin beds or a room with no window, so we upgraded. We were put on the 6th floor and at a different wing of the hotel and noticed a huge difference in the quality of everything. It was like we were at a new hotel. GREAT VIEW of the ocean! Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia
"nothing beats this patong hotel for value for $"
In terms of value for money this hotel is unbeatable. Situated across the road from the beach and a few blocks from Bangla road it's ideal to escape when needed yet only a short walk home after a big night out. The burgers via room service are great, breakfast is fantastic (3 types of egg, fresh fruit salad and yogurt, all the bacon or ham you can […] eat), the wifi is fast and consistent so really, what more can you want. Friends said some rooms took a long time to get made up daily (fresh towels, beds made) but that's only the only gripe you could have - though we didn't have that issue. Key to a great stay I would imagine is too ensure you have a pool view room. W took that tip from someone that had stayed prior and it was well worth the marginal extra cost. I lived in London for 3 years and have travelled extensively. For the money, this hotel has to be one of the best. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia

I had a superior pool view room and it was a great size room i would request the same room when i return to Thailand. the staff were always friendly reception staff lacked in a little english that would of helped when asking questions. cleaniness of the room excellent. staff at breakfast and also resturant were very good also. It was also good to have […] a band each night this was my first time to Thailand and loved it and a good hotel helps to have a good holiday i travelled with friends and they also stayed at this hotel and im sure they enjoyed themselves. the pool I really liked also although it is a shame the pool bar is around the corner and not in the middle of the decking where the childrens pool is situated as I believe pools are like a magnet for a great meeting place to enjoy other guest company at any hotel around the world. Im from australia and would recommend this hotel.very central to everything no need to get taxis hardly ever. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia
"Great hotel"
The location was excellent. Some of the fixtures and fittings needed some attention. The staff were always pleasant and helpful. Breakfast needed a bit more variety but was still quite substantial.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia
"Top location."
We had to move rooms in the first 20 minutes of our stay as the room had mould and had a damp musty smell , and had no bathroom bench for toiletries etc. once we moved rooms that was then satisfactory.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"What a trip"
The food staff and the pool staff were incredible , but reception staff were soooooooo hard to try to communicate with, our room cleaner wasn't very good either our room only got cleaned around 2.30 to 3.00pm of a day , even though we went out every day between 8.00and 9.00am most days. Our bathroom taps were never cleaned had toothpaste. Splash on […] them the whole time . We were there for three weeks. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia
a friend and i had a pool access room each at this hotel, the rooms are clean and quite big, how ever the furniture on the balconies and around the pool badly needs replacing as it looks quite old stained and worn the chrome frame are going rusty. it was a bit over priced for the pool access rooms. and when we checked we were told that if anyone else […] came to stay in our rooms that we would have to pay an extra 1000 baht approx $30 so considering we paid for two people in each room and only had one in each i was very annoyed as we have some thai friends we thought could come and stay with us for a night or two. as they did at the novotel which was ok for them to do there.

"Nice hotel with average service levels"
Stayed in baan laimai for 3 nights and overall it was a pleasant experience. Location was superb and pool was great. Rooms were pretty good for the price we paid for. Service on the other hand was rather lacking in some members of the reception as they were hostile when it came to stuff other than checking in and checking out.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"Beautiful Resort, Pleasant Stay, Highly Recommend!"
Had a very nice stay at this resort. Everything was organised when we arrived. Staff were nice and helpful. Pool is fantastic with plenty of room for everyone (we went early April, so I'm not sure if this is a quiet time there). Definitely seems like one of the best resorts in the area and it is in an excellent position. Restaurant out the front was […] pleasant with live music each night. Beach was just a walk across the road and plenty of stalls nearby. If I come back I will definitely stay here again. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia
Great location, right beside all the action. Perfect for small vacation but don't expect to relax at night. Beach just across street and huge pool. Nice hotel overall.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"Feb holiday 2013 phuket"
We had a very pleasant holiday. Breakfast buffet good and pool area very nice.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia
"Faulty Towers"
we booked this hotel at the last minute the room rate was outrageous almost Aud 600.00 per night. One would expect five start hotel with five star service. No bath in the room. Just a basic room. No privacy at the pool, anyone off the street could walk in. Took five phone calls and two hours for someone to bring some tea bags/sugar to our room. They […] supply two tea bags in the room to make tea!!!, I would have accepted a lot more for the amount we paid. The hotel entrance is on a side street. No big signs mentioning that. Taxi driver tried to dump us at the back of the hotel which is the beach side. We refused to get out so he had to drive around to find the entrance. Heaps of customers were seen lugging their suitcases across the pool area to go the entrance of the hotel. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia

"Awesome pool at Baan Laimai."
Lovely, helpful staff, beautiful pool, great location, clean and comfortable room. Some renovations going on at present but did not cause too much concern. Check in and checkout swift and efficient.

"Great hotel unfortunately located"
I stayed at this hotel over New Years. I had booked the superior room for myself and boyfriend, and two other friends booked the deluxe seaview room (only difference was balcony). The superior room was simple and basic as expected. When booking the room I had requested a king bed, and in the 'special instruction' option I further specified a king-bed. […] Unfortunately when we arrived (at 10pm exhausted), we were shown to our room with two single beds as it was "the only room available" (I had booked six months ago). When I brought this to their attention, they advised housekeeping would move them together and change the sheets to make a King, though this didn't happen for two days. The air conditioning unit was faulty so sleeping was very unpleasant, making the room not worth the money we paid at all. The hotel is amazingly designed especially with the pool and restaurant, however the situation of the bar/restaurant (available to anyone on the street) was less than satisfactory. Every night there were performers on a stage until around 2am, which was probably 50m from our room as we were on the first floor, so sleep again was limited for the nights we were home early. We checked out, stayed at Phi Phi Island for a few nights and then checked back in for our last night and luckily, got an amazing new room on the fourth floor - much quieter, a working air conditioning and had its own rooftop garden and outdoor area - definitely worth the money, unfortunately only 1 night!

"Good but lots of shortcomings"
We have stayed in this hotel three times, so we know what we are getting. There are more positives than negatives, but you should be aware of the downside. The location is great - right across from the beach and walking distance to almost everything. The facility, especially the pool area is terrific. This is why we keep coming back. On the negatives […] - don't expect much from the staff. They are polite and friendly, but totally useless. They have no training, don't know what they are doing and give you all kinds of false information. It is an expensive hotel for Phuket standards, but we are prepared to pay the price to get the location. The New Year's Gala is a big rip-off - a compulsory rip-off. Most big hotels in Patong do this. They charge 4,500 baht (an outrageous price) and give you little in return. They are busy constructing the New Year's venue for the 2 weeks prior to the event causing disruption to the otherwise excellent facility. Breakfast buffet is included and is good, but not outstanding. Internet is intermittent. Often we got little or no reception. Again, no one you ask knows anything and doesn't care. It is labelled as a non-smoking resort, but most people seemed to smoke everywhere. We even had a few Arab boys on the level below us smoking shisha. We are non-smokers and don't like being around smoke. With the exceptions given above, we would recommend the hotel, but be aware of the shortcomings.

ONEIDA -- Neighbors in Oneida are still dealing with the fallout of the flooding disaster that swept through the area Friday. Many were left homeless, and as flood waters have recede residents can still only see their homes and belongings from a distance, as several roads are still closed while the water level drops back to normal.
People are stranded, with entire neighborhoods underwater, which is leaving them little to do but wait and hope.
David Gann owns a home in one of the areas still under water. He said his utilities have been shut off, and he has no idea when he'll be able to start picking up the pieces. "My whole life is in the house. If we can't go back for a month, I don't know what I'm going to do."
Still other residents said the response from the community has been staggering, as they have all come together in this difficult time. "The community has rallied together so fast and so tight. You can't walk down the street right now without someone asking you if you've been affected," said Chris Stafford.
It may be some time before the community can get back to any kind of normalcy, but with the camaraderie and help from neighboring communities, the residents of Oneida will have plenty of help along the way.
