"One of my favorites"
Terrific hotel to be near airport. Not close to anything so you could be captive unless willing to subway to town or take water taxi which is a great ride to middle of things.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Beautiful View"
Would highly recommend this hotel. Incredible view from our room of the Boston skyline. Spacious, clean, comfortable room with all amenities. Staff was exceptional. Pleasant, helpful, and expeditious. Clam Chowder was heaven and well worth the price ($6 cup or $9 bowl). The only dissatisfactory part of our stay was the breakfast. Somewhat sparse buffet […] selection with more cold than hot foods, omelet was runny, and price was $25 a person. So, stay at the hotel and go out to breakfast!

When we walked into the reception we were very disappointed with the overall decor and general standard of the hotel - the rooms were old fashioned and we heard noise from the room next door. On the plus side we had no problems with the airport transfer and found the drivers very helpful.Had a meal in the restaurant which was very good and had the same […] fantastic views as the harbor view rooms. We wouldn't stay here again due to the general standard of the hotel and lack of facilities ie no seating in the reception area and a very small bar. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com

"Convenietnt to downtown activities"
Good location for travelers who want quick access to restaurants, bars and sightseeing. Access to downtown via water taxi is inexpensive and fun. Very little airport noise considering the hotels location. Faulty kitchen fire sensor sent everyone out into the cold at 7:30 AM on Wednesday. Nice hotel but don't expect to use any type of wireless device […] in the building. Wi-Fi is on life support. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
Overall the hotel was excellent. The only negative comment I can leave was having to pay for parking. I thought I was getting a great deal but upon checking out I had a 37.00 bill for parking. Moral of the story is, if you are staying in Boston and the price is too good ask how much they charge for parking!Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Exactly what we needed..."
This hotel was perfect for what we needed in so many ways. We had a lot of guests flying in from out of town for our 10th Wedding Anniversary bash, so it's proximity to the airport was perfect. The staff accommodated all of our many needs to a "T". Service could not have been better. We utilized the Harborside Grill restaurant quite a bit and just […] could not get enough of the breathtaking views. We hosted a brunch for 25 on one of the afternoons and guests raved about the food. Room service was quick and efficient as was the airport shuttle. Would highly recommend to anyone coming in from out of town. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, but downtown is easy to get to via the Water Taxi service that is right outside. Concierge will call a taxi for you and issue you tickets before getting on. That was very nice... Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Water View, airport and water shuttles - Great"
With the water view, shuttles from airport and local water taxis over to the city attractions the hotel is great for being close and getting away when you want. The rooms are quiet even though near the airport. Comfortable beds. Three lobster dishes to choose at the restaurant. Good business desk.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Great stay for business or leisure"
Very enjoyable hotel...a little pricey but great amenities, especially the water taxi! Had a room overlooking the harbor which was just beautiful. The only downfall we found were the walls being a bit "thin" and could hear the guy next door coughing in the very early morning....Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Still Great"
We've gotten to the point where we purposefully book flights out of Boston (we have 3 other options) just to enjoy an evening in Boston and what has proven to be the certainty of another great stay at the Hyatt Boston Harbor. The view to the city is simply the best that exists in or around Boston, the water taxi to Boston restaurants is fun and romantic […] on warm evenings and the staff of the Hyatt must be hand-selected as kind and professional people Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"You pay $36 to park per day"
Overall the Hotel was in a confusing location if you are not coming from the Airport. For the amount of money you pay for your room you still need to pay $36 per car per day if I had known that I would not have booked. If you need to go anywhere by taxi it can get costly fast. Plus you had to pay extra for wifi.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
Anytime you are charged $37 to park your car its annoying ! The hotel is located right at the airport and has a very nice view of Boston Harbor but its overpriced and the parking rate is crazy !Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com

"Close to Logan Airport"
It was a great experience and easy access to Logan airport for early morning flight. The only complaint it the price for parking for overnight stay. Was not expecting this high price and think this should be included in price of room, but also not raise the room rate. This would be great customer service.

"Water taxi to Boston convenient and great fun."
We enjoyed the convenience of taking the water taxi to the heart of downtown Boston. The only restaurant/bar/lounge on the premises was The Harborside Grill and it was small. Seating in the lounge was limited so it wasn't easy to relax with drinks before dinner. The food was fine, but don't expect gourmet dining. The water taxi was $17.00 per person […] round trip. We were booked for three nights and then one night before our return home for a total of four nights. Our friends were booked for two nights plus one night before returning home for a total of three nights. They were offered a free upgrade with a beautiful view, but we were not.

"Close to airport"
Stayed only for one night, when in transit. Hotel is located just a few blocks from the airport and just across the bay from Boston. Room is very nice, but the bed can not match the beds at Sheraton hotels. Did not use the Hotel amenities, but there is a nice lobby bar, with great view of the Boston skylight. There is nothing to see or places to go […] in the neighborhood, so if I was staying in Boston for a few days I would probably look for another Hotel, just because of the location. Would definitely book again if in transit. Great Hotel and great staff. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com

"good choice if being near the airport is important"
This hotel has a terrific view of Boston from across the water, good soundproofing so you do not hear the planes landing and taking off, and large, comfortable rooms. However, there is nothing at all within walking distance, and it takes quite a bit of time to use the (free) shuttle service to the subway line to get into town. More pleasantly, you can […] take a water taxi directly to downtown Boston for ten dollars one way. The breakfast is good, though it is definitey an Anglo/American breakfast, with only one kind of yogurt, one sort of jam, and one toaster for everyone. Scandinavians and Germans may wanto more choices (e.g. cheese, good rolls) than are on offer, though what is presented is fine. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com

Hi, I read through all the fixes, and perhaps I missed it, but has anything been done about the high pitched squeal on skype to skype calls that quite a few people have complained about on the forum. It makes skype unusable… doesn't happen all the time – no rhyme or reason. Here is the link to the forum. http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=76801&st=0&gopid=363116&#entry363116

For the record and despite what the skeptics might assume, "ethics" is a concept stressed in local government.
Well, maybe "stressed" is too strong a word. State government does indeed mandate ethics training for elected and appointed officials. The officials are required to spend a whole two hours every two years reminding themselves of the importance of ethical leadership.
Alternative to requiring leaders to waste their time attending ethics courses conducted by commercial organizations, nonprofits or attorneys, local officials can meet their ethics requirement by taking an online course offered free through the state Fair Political Practices Commission.
The online course is the same type of laughable option offered to motorists caught speeding. Open the laptop at your convenience and burn up several hours reading about California traffic law. No fuss, no muss. In one brain, out the other.
The notion of ethics in government comes to mind while watching the performing contortionists now starring in the most recent county water circus.
A friend — someone in an appointed public position — recently sent sections from the Ethics Training for Local Officials course, the online ethics exercise available through the FPPC. She had just completed her mandated training online.
"Given the current situations regarding the behavior of public officials in various settings, I thought perhaps you might be interested in seeing for yourself what exactly we are told in our required training about ethics and ethical behavior, conflicts of interest, and so on," she said.
Browsing the FPPC online course, the differences between what is legal, what is ethical and what a local official thinks he or she may be able to get away with is quite clear.
The bottom line: If in doubt, don't do it.
Consider these ethical nuggets, ripped from the pages of the online course officials must take once every two years:
· "Ethics is what we ought to do — not just what we have to do. Also, just because a course of action is legal doesn't mean that it is ethical."
· "The best strategy is to err on the side of caution and stay far away from conduct that may be legally questionable."
· "Remember that your role is first and foremost to serve the community."
· "Avoid any actions that would cause the public to question whether your decisions are based on personal interests instead of the public's interests."
· "Do not use your public position for personal gain."
· "Do not use information that you acquire in your public capacity for personal advantage."
· "Public service ethics is not only about doing the right thing, but also about the public's confidence that indeed the right thing has been done."
· "The interesting — and somewhat unique — aspect of public service ethics is that it is not exclusively an introspective process. A public official can be absolutely confident that he or she is able to put personal interests or relationships aside, but the public may question whether indeed that is so."
· "Public officials are stewards of the public's trust in the public's governing institutions."
· "There can also be issues when public officials parlay their positions as public servants into job opportunities." In that regard, it's generally not right to make decisions on issues "that affect someone who is a future employer or will likely be one."
· "Public servants should not benefit financially from their positions."
That last item is especially interesting. The course material notes that violations of the public trust can be a federal offense, with penalties that include 20 years in jail and a $250,000 fine.
Among the no-nos listed in the "honest services laws" is a prohibition against having a personal interest in an agency contract.
In regards to the Steve Collins debacle, it is currently unclear exactly who said what to whom — and in what context — that allowed him to think it was kosher to earn $160,000 working for a contractor that was given $28 million to help gin up plans for a desalination project while he was a county water agency director.
All we're hearing right now is a lot of finger pointing among folks scrambling to assert that their ethical standing in this mess is beyond reproach.
To that, I return to the online ethic course: "Note that your (agency) attorney represents the entire agency, not you as an individual ... Only written advice from the Fair Political Practices Commission can protect you."
I'm confident local officials do take the required ethics training.
I'm not so confident that all of them are paying attention.

New Alternative To Breast Implants
Many women would like to have larger breasts, and have had very few choices of procedures to achieve this. If a woman wanted to increase her cup size then she had to get implants, whether silicon or saline. Now a new procedure has arisen that does not entail adding an implant. This system actually helps a woman to grow larger breasts. It is called the Brava System.
The Brava System, invented by Miami surgeon Dr. Roger Kjouri, is a non-surgical breast enhancement system that has been scientifically proven to work. It is constructed of two semi-rigid plastic domes that have silicone gel rims. These domes are placed over the breasts and a vacuum pressure is maintained by a small vacuum pump. The pump is battery operated and is controlled by a micro computer. It is worn under a sports bra and must be worn for a few hours a day for a few weeks.
The system works based on a principal known as tension-induced growth. The vacuum pulls on the breast tissue causing it to stretch. The stretched cells swell and promote replication so that new breast tissue grows. This procedure can be used to increase breast size substantially but it also has other uses. The procedure can also be coupled with periodic fat injections for women who have had mastectomies, and thus they can grow new breasts. Fat is taken from other parts of the body and then injected into the breasts.
Maria Eugenia Morris had a double mastectomy and used the Brava System to regrow her breasts. She told KOB Albuquerque, "Up to now I am very happy. My breasts feel normal like my breast before. They're not hard. They're beautiful I think." She had not wanted to go through another big surgery and didn't really want implants. This system was able to give her new breast without having to do these things. She warned that the system was not comfortable. She said, "It is uncomfortable….but it is not painful. And the end result I think is worthwhile."
Dr. Robert DerHagopian, director of the Baptist Health Breast Center, believes that this system is wonderful for patients who do not want an implant and a big operation. However he warns that the patient must be motivated to follow through with the procedure. He says, "Not every woman is willing to go through the multiple stages that may be required with fat injection."

Brangelina Baby Pic Sold for $4.9M
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reportedly sold the rights to the first picture of their as-yet-unborn child for $4.9 million (£2.6 million) to an unnamed American weekly magazine. The money will be donated to the children's charity, UNICEF. Knowing that the paparazzi are likely to try to snap pictures of the baby as soon after it is born as possible, the couple "figured they might as well use the opportunity of one child being born to help a lot of others." Angelina's due date is supposed to be in early June.

A new kind of softball blew into Santa Rosa County this summer with the start of a Chicago-style 16-inch adult softball league.
This variation of the sport varies somewhat from the typical 12-inch softball game. Not only is the ball considerably bigger and more padded, but players on the field use no gloves.
Wally Farej grew up in the Windy City and he played the sport there before moving to Gulf Breeze.
"Sixteen inch softball started in Chicago a long time ago and has always had a rivalry with 12-inch players that wear gloves," said Farej.

Comments about BRIXTON TOIL WALKSHORT:
These shorts run really slim. I'm a size 36 and could barely snap the button when I tried a pair on.....now I'm depressed!
You'll most likely have to go up in size when trying these on, unless you like you having your junk smashed in.

Interior Shot of the Private Airbus A380
Filed under: Wings
I was hoping against hope that when we finally saw a picture of the interior of that private VIP Airbus A380 jumbo jet that has luxury watchers so curious it would be of the 600-plus-square-foot master bedroom , the game room, the desert-themed lounge with the fiber-optic mosaic or maybe even the whirlpool tub. Instead, the design firm, Edese Doret, has shown us a picture of the dining room. Don't get me wrong, it's a fabulous dining room and of a scale that I have never seen on a plane before. Imagine being able to look past your dinner companion and out into the clouds. I just can't wait until we get to see the rest of the jet.

The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office in Washington state says Gabriella Mercedes called them on July 27, 2005.
She phoned authorities from a Taco Bell in Lynnwood and identified herself as a juvenile missing person. She was reunited with her mother hours later.
»The Full Story
Police say when they arrived at the fast-food restaurant, Gabriella was alone, well-dressed and healthy. She told them that she was ready to go home. She was reunited with her mother hours later.
"She was excited and crying at the same time," said Sherry Coty, an aunt who said she had spoken with both the girl and her mother, Mary Mercedes, yesterday. Coty said Mercedes said she had been in Lynnwood since she had disappeared.
Police have not said where the girl has been for the past couple of months.
Deputy Rich Niebusch of the sheriff's office said he was unable to confirm whether the girl was held prisoner but that the sheriff's office would continue its investigation. "We haven't talked to them, or her," said Niebusch, a reference to Lynnwood police and the girl. "It'll probably be a few days."

Designing Chairs: Big Appeal, Element of Risk
Any designer will tell you, including Yves Béhar of fuseproject, that designing a chair is a formidable task, and an appealing one. As this clip from the Wall Street Journal notes, the appeal is particularly strong for architects. That's because, according to Barry Bergdoll, curator at MoMA, a chair "makes space, it has support, so in the end the chair is architecture." Like architecture, chairs are so visible, our relationship to them so intimate, that designing them can give pause.
Béhar, an industrial designer, sought inspiration for his design of the SAYL chair from a very architectural form: suspension bridges. For Béhar, the project had appeal and risk. He says, "I practiced for more than a decade and waited to tackle the work chair. And it is only after turning 40 that I feel ready for such an epic design challenge." Part of the challenge, says Béhar, lies in the fact that "every part serves a structural or tactile purpose. Every part is about creating comfort while needing to be visually cohesive and beautiful."
An element of risk, certainly, but ah the rewards. And it's especially gratifying when others recognize the achievement, in SAYL's case the latest coming from IDEA.

Groups Get Ready To Bid On Eclipse Aviation's Assets
Filed under: Wings
The saga of Eclipse Jets just gets weirder and weirder and you'll need a scorecard to keep track of all the companies with the Eclipse name. The first was Eclipse Aviation Corporation which produced the planes but filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Then Luxembourg-based EclipseJet Aviation International (part of ETIRC Aviation) was set to buy the company, and in fact their website says they are "the principal distributor of the Eclipse 500 very light jet in Europe, Eastern Europe, Russia, and CIS countries." But that deal fell through and Eclipse entered Chapter 7 liquidation last month which means that the company's assets are set to be liquidated.
Enter a new group, known as Eclipse Jet LLC which as Aero-News Network reports, has joined others hoping to bid on the company's assets. This group contains leaders of the Ad Hoc Customer Committee and Steering Committee including Mike Press a retired USAF colonel who owns an Eclipse 500, and runs a private company to broker Eclipse delivery positions. He is working with other owners and depositors including businessman Mason Holland to try and acquire the assets of Eclipse. The motivation is both to provide support for those who already own planes as well as restarting production of the Eclipse 500, perhaps to complete the seven planes still in various stages of being built inside the plant. Holland and Press have said that they are interesting in reorganizing Eclipse as a sustainable company.
Two other bids for the Eclipse assets have been made public including yet another Eclipse-named group, Eclipse Services and Support LLC, which is a cooperative backed by Linear Air CEO Bill Herp and wants to keep the existing fleet of 259 Eclipse 500 very-light jets in service. Another organization with yet another Eclipse name, New Eclipse Acquisition LLC, is backed by aerospace executive Phil Friedman and also wants to provide support to existing owners and to eventually start producing new aircraft.
While all this is being sorted out, furloughed workers wait for a decision and hope that they will get some money out of the liquidation. Forbes reveals that more than 800 workers have filed a lawsuit seeking back wages and benefits.

Bright Grey paid out 91% of critical illness claims in the last 6 months of 2011.
Just 2% of claims were declined for non-disclosure. The average critical illness payout was £82,000.
Cancer remained the most common reason for a claim (55%), followed by heart attack (10%), stroke (10%) and multiple sclerosis (9%).
47% of claims were made by people who were 40 or under and the youngest claimant was just 23 suffered a stroke.
Roger Edwards at Bright Grey says: "Over half of our claims were for cancer which might appear to be a frightening statistic. But the good news is that with better screening and earlier testing, more people than ever before are surviving the disease. For many, chemo and other treatment means taking months off work and this is where the money from a critical illness policy comes into its own - easing any financial worries so they can focus on getting better. One consequence of better screening is that we are seeing more people being treated for earlier forms of cancer."

It is time to question WHY?
Female Genital Mutilation - FGM - affects the lives of girls and women almost all over the world. This 5000 year old African practice has migrated and has become an increasing problem in Western countries. It is condemned and outlawed.
Yet it still goes on. Often underground. In order to eradicate FGM, it is important to understand WHY it is practiced. This is what "The Cut" aims to do.
"The Cut" focuses on female genital mutilation as it still is practiced (and the reasons for this) in Africa, specifically in Kenya. Although fgm is against the law in Kenya, it is still being practiced among ethnic groups that have traditionally practiced it for centuries. In most of these groups, close to 100% of all girls are still being mutilated.
"The Cut" is still in production. Estimated production timeframe is set for late spring 2009.
"The Cut" will be a 20 - 25 minute film made for an international audience. It will be made available for television distribution, as well as screenings in film festivals. Healthcare workers, teachers and others interested in learning more about female genital mutilation will also be offered the opportunity to view the movie.

John Kane is a North Carolina leader of the Job Creators Alliance. He is also chairman and CEO of Kane Realty Corporation, a leading East Coast property development company.
These are tough times. Millions of Americans—23 million, to be more precise—are struggling with unemployment or underemployment. This is probably why the economy and unemployment are the "Most Important Problems" ranked No. 1 and No. 2 for Americans. And during this election season, we've heard a lot about these issues. Politicians love to extol the virtues of small business and praise the entrepreneurs who take risks to create jobs.
Yet, in an act of either sheer political posturing or willful suspension of disbelief, there are those in our political class who would like to raise taxes on the very small business owners that are recognized as the solution to our nation's job crisis.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
If there was ever a time that raising taxes on anyone—much less on job creators and small business owners—was a profoundly bad idea, it is now. With our anemic economic recovery sputtering along and business confidence weighed down by uncertainty, our nation's entrepreneurs need encouragement, not higher taxes.
On a hopeful note, both President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney agree that corporate taxes are too high in this country—and both have promised to work to bring rates down to make sure that America remains competitive in the global marketplace. However, one area that businesses (and those looking for full-time work) would undoubtedly welcome more bipartisan agreement is the idea of providing tax certainty to small businesses by not raising taxes on job creators.
The reality is that small business owners most often report their businesses' earnings as personal income. These companies are most often "subchapter S-Corporations" or LLCs where the business income "passes through" to the individual. These "pass throughs" are structured this way to avoid being taxed twice. Business owners set aside most of their taxable income to keep their business going and to invest for future growth. On paper, they may appear wealthy, but in reality, they are anything but.
[See a slide show of Mort Zuckerman's 5 Ways to Create More Jobs.]
This is no small issue. More than 75 percent of small businesses file as individuals and 54 percent of all private sector employees—roughly 69 million people—currently work for these types of "pass through" businesses. So when politicians talk about raising taxes "only on the wealthy" to help bring more revenue to the federal government, their proposal may sound good in theory, but consider this: higher taxes means more money taken away from these small businesses that would otherwise be invested back into the business, maintain the jobs they currently provide, or hire more workers. Ironically, less jobs overall would mean less taxpayers, which actually mean less revenue for the federal government.
Instead of targeting the actual job creators in our communities, the politicians in Washington should be focused on passing progrowth policies that will get our economy moving again and will put people back to work.

QualityStocks News - Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. (SRCO) Offers Wide Range of Vehicle-Related Services
QualityStocks News - Premier Biomedical (BIEI) Confirmatory Testing Demonstrates Duplicated Positive Results for Potential Breast Cancer Therapy
QualityStocks News - Max Sound (MAXD) Brings HD Quality to Audio
QualityStocks would like to highlight GlobalWise Investments, Inc. (OTCBB: GWIV). The company, via its wholly owned subsidiary Intellinetics, Inc., is a Columbus, Ohio based Enterprise Content Management (ECM) pioneer with industry-leading software that delivers cloud ECM based solutions on-demand. Their flagship platform, IntellivueTM, represents a new industry benchmark and game-changing solution by enabling clients to access and manage the content of every scanned document, file, spreadsheet, email, photo, audio file, or video tape – virtually anything that can be digitized – in their enterprise from any PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone from anywhere in the world.
In the company's news yesterday,
GlobalWise Investments, and its wholly owned subsidiary Intellinetics, announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
The company's total revenues for the period were $360,328, an increase of $121,202, or 51%, from the company's first quarter 2011 results of $239,126. Moreover, gross profit increased $21,398 to $56,381 for the quarter as compared to $34,983 during the first quarter of 2011, a 61% increase.
Total operating expenses increased by $780,852 for the quarter versus the same period a year earlier. This increase is primarily due to one-time expenses and corresponding costs of public company reporting incurred when Intellinetics, Inc. merged with GlobalWise.
"We had a very busy first quarter this year and we're extremely pleased with the direction and transformation of the company in such a short period," stated GlobalWise's President and CEO Mr. William J. "BJ" Santiago. "Leveraging our 18-year operating history as a software solutions provider, we're now rapidly migrating to a cloud-based, channel distribution model with great success. For example, our substantial first quarter growth is in direct correlation to the success of on-boarding just one key channel partner in the third quarter of 2011 that serves the healthcare industry. I believe that the success we've had in on-boarding similar dynamic partners late last year and throughout this first quarter will replicate the same financial success over the next year. We believe the short-term, one-time expenses of the merger will be more than offset in the future by the benefits of having access to additional sources of capital as we continue to execute our growth strategy both in North America and abroad in the cloud computing sector."
With the merger complete, GlobalWise has significantly ramped-up its sales efforts, securing five new channel partner agreements since February. The company believes the expansion of its reseller program to include Latin America in the second quarter of 2012 will continue to increase, driving growth for the next several years.
