"As the title says, please do not stay at this complete disgrace of a hotel (I know this review is long, but please take the time to read it as you need to know what you are letting yourself in for!!) Me and my 3 friends stayed here as our first girls holiday to experience Malia - Now don't get me wrong, we weren't expecting it to be beautiful & we had read reviews so we knew not to get our expectations up, but dear god, nothing could have prepared us for the hell hole we had to stay in for 7 nights! When we arrived, we were greeted by a very rude and very impatient greek security guard, who took our passports off us (as they do to all guests) and 'stored safely' away - By stored safely, they actually mean thrown into an old sandwich box and shoved behind reception! We weren't directed to our rooms, just had a key thrust at us and had to find our own way around the (very small) complex. Let me just say, this hotel looks nothing like it does on it's picture - It's a very very small complex with everything crammed together. The rooms were an absolute disgrace!! We could not believe our eyes when we saw what we were living in for the next week. Cupboard doors were hanging on by their hinges (no exaggeration) with chipped paint all over them. The bathroom was disgusting & smelt like sewage - The toilet chain was broken when we got there too - But that wasn't even close to the worst part. There were ANTS EVERYWHERE!! And I mean everywhere, even inside the fridge!!! Every night we had to hang our sheets over the balcony and shake them violently to get all the ants off of them - And don't try complaining either, as they just spray insect killer in the room which makes no diffrence whatsoever. If you stay here, don't be surprised to be woken up by ants tickling and crawling all over you. The pool area is very small, and the pool bar is very very expensive, but you aren't allowed to eat anything around the pool unless it is purchased from the hotel (We found this out when we were eating some pringles, and the security guard took them off us and emptied the whole can into the bin). Also, do not bother paying for air conditioning (Although you need it desperately!) - It makes no difference to the room whatsoever and costs $50! It is a measley machine located in the bedroom that does not even circulate around the living / eating / sleeping area (As they are all combined!) - In the whole room, we had one mirror between three girls, and two wardrobes, again hanging on by hinges. Honestly, it might sound like I am exaggerating, but I assure you I am not. It really is disgusting, and I wouldn't stay here again if someone paid me. Malia itself is brilliant, amazing nightlife and you have to try the booze cruise! You MUST MUST MUST eat at the red lion pub, it serves the best english food ever, we ended up eating there every single night !! This hotel will ruin your holiday (like it did ours) & has really spoilt our memories. You might think 'It doesn't matter, we wont be in the room a lot and it's only to sleep in' but you can't even sleep in there, let alone get ready for a night out - Practically Impossible!! Have a brilliant holiday, but please don't stay here!! :)"

"Right i'm going to start off by saying I am in no way shape or form fussy about my accomodation on a lads holiday and trust me we have been all over and stayed in some awful places, but this one by far takes the trophy as the worst kept, worst managed and most unwelcoming place I have ever, and probably will ever go to.
When we arrived (around 10pm) we were greeted by the owner and his wife, who to be fair, seemed absolutely fine at the time. We sat in the bar and had a drink with them and they introduced us to the local drink "Raki". So we thought we had booked a decent place, how wrong were we!! When we got to our rooms, there was graffiti written on our walls, dirty bedsheets, rusty, dirty cutlery, torn curtains, dodgy balcony door that didn't lock properly, no more than 2 plates for a total of 4 of us for 1 week, wobbly tables and uneven beds. So I guess you could say it was your typical, basic hotel for a lads holiday. We lasted our 1st night, and on our 2nd evening, we were having a drink on the balcony, we were having a laugh and yes, we were baing a bit loud, but we weren't doing anything different to anyone else in the hotel. We had a knock on the door about 8pm from the hotel owner, he burst in and started shouting, telling us to pack our bags and leave... we were all shocked and confused as to why, so we asked him what we had done, he replied with greek abuse (one of my mates is half greek) so we questioned him further as to "what his problem was" and if he told us what we had done wrong we could stop whatever we were apparently doing... there was no reasoning with him, he had obviously had a drink as he couldnt even stand straight. Once he had calmed down a bit, we sat back down, and he walked out of the room, only to come back with a bottle of beer and smash it all over our floor and start tipping the tables and chairs over, it was hillarious actually. We all decided it was best to just go out so after he left, we headed out and hoped he would see sense by the morning... how wrong were we, he and his security guard were bangning on the room at 8am to have us evicted for absolutely no reason whatsoever. We packed our bags and called the rep, who advised us that this apparently happens a lot there and the guy who owns it has issues with the English! Our rep tried fighting our corner but like I say there was no reasoning with the guy. So we had to have the area manager from Olympic holidays come down and he didnt mess about, he just walked straight in, tried to tell the hotel owner to calm down and he shipped us to another, better hotel and even paid for our taxis and gave us tickets to a club. So it just goes to show that we did nothing wrong and they knew that. They obviously have had a lot of problems with these guys before so whatever you do, dont stay here. Its really not worth the hassle. You can find other places just as cheap so I would reccomend to do that.
Malia it's self is amazing! Really nice beach, great people, great bars and clubs, a little expensive but what do you expect from a country that is in a terrible economic state.
Don't let your holiday be spoiled by a bad hotel like this. You might be lucky and go and really enjoy it and not have any problems... but is it worth the risk?!"

"I thought i'd write a review because before we went we read terrible stuff and were so worried!
First off, the location is AMAZING. Literally right off the strip and 5 minutes from the beach!
The staff were quite intimidating but we went to the beach every day so there wasn't much need to worry about it.
We arrived during the day and the staff weren't very welcoming but again we weren't that bothered.
The safe was kept in the reception area which was a bit annoying but it also ment the maids couldnt get at it.
The rooms were very basic and the firdge wasn't very clean but we just kept drink in it anyway. we were in the room which sleeps 4. i think unless your fussy or well "snobby" the room will make do.
we ignored the rep and didnt go on any of the programs, we didnt feel we needed it as the strip was amazing and right beside us.
I would say if your booked up to the galini the location will win you over. And the bar staff at the main bar were fantastic. lots of free shots. i reccomend this hotel and i'd defo go back!!"

"Where to start :/ A party of 7 of us all aged 18 arrived here 29th July 2011 at around half 3 in the morning to be greeted by the incredibly rude security guard! He gave us our key (1 between the lot of us), showed us to our room, told us to be quiet and left us. When people said €50 for everything we thought they were exaggerating but they really are not! Any noise, fine! Party, fine! Predrinking, fine! Visitors, fine! I took the rules and regulations page home with me for proof of how pathetic it was! Also, the accommodation itself was disgusting, the cleaner is nice but the new towels, bedsteads etc we were provided with were filthy and full of stains! Also our mattress had springs sticking out of it. Our fridge did not work, our main light did not work, intact it was hanging off the ceiling, the plug sockets were jammed, only one hob on the stove worked and the shower, if you can call it a shower, was freezing. The air conditioning which we payed an extra €100 for did not work! Some people we met there told us the guard came into their room because they were apparently making too much noise and punched one of them! He also threatened my girlfriend! I would not recommend staying here at all, stay at summer dreams!!!"

"Stayed here in July- August 2011 in a party of 74. Galini apartments are really nice, the buildings themselves are beautiful and the pool and surrounding area are convenient for most of the apartments. The rooms are basic but what you'd expect for the money, honestly don't think you will stay anywhere in Malia without problems with ants and cockroaches. The cleaning service is pretty poor, she came in every other day and barely did anything, but she did do better with some rooms- its more your responsibility to keep them tidy, and its in your interest as if you leave any food out you will most likely get ants within minutes. Its so well placed, 2 minute walk to the strip and the Gallini bar is also good. However, the staff mean you will definitely leave Gallini with a poor opinion of this otherwise nice complex, they want to get any money out of you they can, so will charge you for things you have never had- we were charged for an ashtray we'd definitely never seen. Some rooms were charged for massive breakages they'd never noticed and you only have to look at the list of fines on the door to see that they are unreasonable (15 euro for a glass, 800 euro for anything wrong with the aircon). Luckily most of us got away with fines of less than 10 euro each, but the rudeness of the staff in your last days ruins the experience and has unfortunately left most of us feeling like we wouldn't stay in these apartments even though we all had a great week otherwise. If your staying here do remember to note down any problems with your room on your first day and report them to reception, and security is quite tight in the evenings- try not to 'make party' too loudly around the pool or on your balcony- there's a 50 euro fine for basically coughing past 11pm."

"Upon arriving at the Galini Apartments (6am on a saturday morning) the security guard(who works between 11pm and 7am monday to sunday) insisted we be very quiet and shuffled all new arrivals into a one behind the other queue! He then demanded all arrivals passports before providing them with a room key (these passports are kept until your departure date). He takes you a room at a time to your apartment and insists you wait for him to return to "Chat to you". Eventually when he returns, he advises (in his rude mumbling manner) that under no circumstances must their be noise, and that making noise will result in a 50 EURO fine and TRUST ME he isnt joking! Throughout our two week duration, he attempted to fine us for noise at 11pm! For having Visitors in our rooms! For PreDrinking on our balcony, For having music playing in our apartments and for a friend being paraletic in his room!? Dan (The Olympic Rep) advises that under no circumstances must you pay fines to the security gaurd, however dan is not there when these incidents happen and when the security guard threatens with chucking you out you feel obliged to pay the fine. If you do pay a fine, you MUST keep the reciept he issues you with. Then provide this to dan and he will attempt to get your money back for you. Another issue with the galini is that when predrinking before a night out, security guards, usually in groups of 3 or 4 will arrive and attempt to remove you from your room! They have green lasers which they use to notify the other security guards where you are and next thing you know your room has 3 or 4 security guards shouting at you to leave and telling you to go to the Gallini Bar! Its a total fix! They force you out of your rooms to spend money in the Gallini bar!
Other than the above, everything else about the galini was tolerable. During the day, providing you were with a good group of people (meeting people there is easy) the pool was a great place to lounge around, listen to music, swim and meet loads of people all in the same age group! There is a small pool bar which serves drinks and food all day at good prices and the Galini bar is also a great place to start predrinking! Drinks are 6 EUROS for a pint (In the strip you will pay 5 Euros for half pint glasses) so EXTREMELY good value and the HEAD****** COCKTAIL is amazing for pre lashing! The staff in the Galini bar are awesome! The two barmen (owners sons) are a great laugh and after you have got to know them do not expect to pay for a shot ever again as they will constantly provide you with shots throughout the night FREE OF CHARGE. Another incentive to pre drink at the Galini Bar. Dan (Not olympic Dan but Galini Dan) can be found by the pool during the day or in the Galini bar during the evening and he is a great laugh and often hits the strip with you at around 1am! Although its not reccomended, we hired quads for 4 days and had THE BEST TIME ever! HOWEVER they tempt you into hiring them at very low prices, for example we were told 10 Euros for 4 days by 'HERMES RENTALS - BIGGEST IN MALIA'! Great we thought! Until they take you (via car or scooter) to another branch, sign up hire contracts with you, then inform you 100 EUROS insurance has to be paid! And because youve just signed a contract you cant evan walk away and change your mind! They inform you that nobody has ever left with out insurance and that without it, damage too the quad could cost you between 50 EUROS and 3000 EUROS! (and obviously in the contract before being made aware of the insurance you write down where you are staying so they are fully aware where the quads will be if they wanted to damage them themselves). Although the additional 100 EUROS was a massive shock it turnt out to be the best mistake we made because we had so much fun on them and used the breakdown on the insurance nearly every day (broken mirrors, running out of fuel, people attempted to nick them etc) so the insurance is well worth having just budget for it. Overall MALIA WAS the BEST 2 weeks of my life!"

"Even though the apartments were in a good location, being within walking distance to the strip and the beach, I found the management unprofessional and scheming.
The manager had an attitude problem, and we witnessed a full blown argument between her and another member of staff, which in my opinion is a big no no.
To add to this, they literally charge you on anything. Me and my friend got charged for one missing spoon, a cup and a fork. And it came to eighteen euros. We did not specifically know we had to count the cutlery. Interestingly, we did not even use any of the kitchen equiptment. So therefore, they did not check up on the people using the apartment before us, as they had obviously lost these items. They also took us around the apartment and tried to accuse of us breaking away a towel rail, which was not even there to start with. We found they were a total money making scheme, and they unfairly try and make as much money out of you as possible. For any people going to stay there, I would advise you to throughoutly check every single item is there and not damaged, because they will try to challenge you and make you pay ridiculous prices.
As well as this, the apartment was basic and quite grim for the price we paid. The bedding was stained, and the seats, were dirty."

"We went to the Galini apartments from 28th June for a week. When we arrived there was a bloke (Demetrie/Slick Rick) who checked us in and gave us our key who was very rude and didn't give us any information just the key to our room.
We booked our hotel as a group of 8 and our rooms were on opposite sides of the hotel, yet on our first night we all went to one room to drink etc. We made hardly any noise yet they banged on the door and told us to get out the hotel, when we got home every night they shone a green light in the window telling us to go to sleep! You get fined 50 euros for making 'noise', being in a room with your friends and having water by the pool! Everyone who stayed at the hotel at the same time as us HATED it just as much as we did and it ruined part of our holiday as they kicked two groups of boys out the hotel for no reason. The security guards went into one of our friends rooms that we met there and shut the door behind them and said 'your not in england now, your in greece and we can hit you' they then punched one of the boys and spat in anothers face. The rep had to be called on many occasions to have a go at the staff at this apartment. We went to the apartments other the road and they said that everyone always complains about this place. Olympic threatened Galini and said they would take us off their listing because of the way they treated there customers. THIS IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO STAY, IT RUINED OUR HOLIDAY. I'm not exaggerating i just don't feel anyone should waste the money we did."

"Me and my 3 friends (all girls aged 18-19) went here last August .. It was our first holiday away, and we knew that the complexes in malia werent going to be brilliant, obviously because of where it is situated and its only there for partyiinnggg :) .. BUT. I never expected to stay in such a run down, shabby, dirty apartment, and was so shocked as the pictures on the net make it look beauitful!!! I wasnt expecting high quality at all, but i at least expected it to be CLEAN. The beds were rock hard, obvously there isnt much sleeping that goes on in malia but you couldnt even lie on them without feeling like your back was about to snap in half, we had ONE towel between 4 of us for a whole week, and the bedding didnt get changed once - Not to mention the first night i had to hang my sheet over the balcony and shake it vigorously to get the ants off, as i did every night from then on. You HAVE to buy air conditioning in your room if you want to be able to breathe, which they charge $50 for a week, and your not allowed to leave it on when you go out so your room is nice and cool when you get back in!!! Our toilet was broken when we first got there, cupboard doors quite literally hanging on by a hinge, no kettle, toaster, microwave, basic things that you expect. The RULES are ridiculous!!!! They will charge you money for anything that they possibly can -- Being too loud, bringing people back to the apartment, going in the pool too late, your not allowed too take your own food round the pool either, you have too buy it from the tiny pool bar which is disgusting - Toasties and greasy fried breakfasts were its speciality - I tried to sneak a tub of pringles next to my sunbed while i was sunbathing, and some lady picked them up and emptied them into the bin :0 i was mortified!!! Malia itself is beautiful, nothing like people make out - we didnt see one fight, everyone was in such high spirits :D Id happily go back there again, and you HAVE to go to the red lion, you cant miss it on the main strip, i think id go back to malia just to have another one of their meals!! Their amazing!! The only good thing i will say about galini is that it is right next too everything - The beach, the nightlife, and about a 1 minute walk from mcdonalds, if that :p But i honestly would say that the apartments really spoilt our holiday ... I ended up sleeping on a lilo we brought for in the pool, which actually turned out a lot more comfortable than the beds!!!!! Please do not go here, i know a lot of people will ignore this review and think im moaning, but honestly. I dont want other people too have too experience the horror of galini :/ or the rude, smarmy staff they have working there .. And oh yes, if you do something wrong they try and keep your passpotr from you until you pay them the money that they THINK you owe them. Just pay a little bit more money and go somwehere nicer, cleaner and friendlier. If i could put a 0/10 on this review, believe me i would!!!! Oh, also the sunbathing space is TINY and you have big palm tree things hanging over your head so you have too quite literally move your sunbeds around to get the best sun, and the pool is unbelieveably deep - im not short myself, about 5'4 and i had to physically cling to the edge of the pool when i got down the steps :/ GOOD LUCK if you stay here!! Thats all i can say :) But youll LOVE MALIA!!! Have funnn :D"

"I just reurned from Malia having spent 7 nights in Galini apartments. the staff are friendly and the rooms are basic but fully functional. George the barman is friendly enough and George the security man is a legend!
the location is excellent, 5 mins from the beach and 5 mins from bar-street.
I would definately return.

"I was really worried when i read all these horrible reviews about the Galini apartments, but don't be put off as they are actually alright. The management are a bit funny, but as it is a really budget hotel they will try and charge you for everything so just be really careful not to break anything and stay on their good side! We were a group of 4 girls and didn't cause any fuss, so didn't have any problems getting our passports back or anything.
The apartments themselves are pretty average, a lot of the furniture and facilities had seen better days but if your going to malia your probably not going to be spending much time in your room anyway! Your room doesnt get cleaned that often and we only had our bedlinen changed once but this didnt really bother me. I would recommend bringing your own towel though - the one i got given was really dirty and they are so small you couldn't clean yourself with it anyway! They also don't provide you with toilet roll after the first day - my friends tried to steal some from the bar when we ran out but the barman threatened to chop their fingers off! So don't do that, its only 1 euro for 2 rolls in the supermarket across the road anyway.
Malia is a great place for 18-25s, really lively at night with a nice beach for the daytime! Its also really worth going to Malia Old town as there are some really nice restaurants there. I would recommend prelashing as most of the bars water down their alcohol so it would take you ages to get drunk.
Galini is not a great hotel but its fine for a cheap lads/girls holiday, and its in a really good location - the beach is only like a 5 minute walk, and your just off the strip so coming home at night is really convinient. DEFINITLY GO TO MALIA ITS AMAZIIIINNNNGGG!!"

A detailed explanation of the methodology can be found on the Working Group website (www.hivresourcetracking.org). The two sets of categories used to describe different R&D activities—one for HIV vaccines and one for HIV microbicides—were derived from those developed by the US NIH and are shown in the following tables.
Data collection by the Working Group involved accessing both public information and collecting information through direct appeals to funding agencies. The Working Group: 1) identified key funding agencies; 2) collected publicly available information; 3) contacted the funding agencies identified and 4) reviewed, checked and analyzed the information collated.
Data Collection Process
Step 1: Identifying key funding agencies
A list of all organizations involved in funding preventive HIV vaccine, microbicide or HIV prevention R&D was drawn up based on funders identified in previous resource tracking efforts and supplemented by discussions with key individuals working in the HIV vaccine, microbicide or HIV prevention R&D fields. As new funders were identified, they were added to the list.
Step 2: Collecting publicly available information
For each of the funders identified, the publicly available information was reviewed for data on annual investment levels. Information sources consulted included: government reports, annual reports, US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, published studies and articles, scientific presentations and website postings.
Step 3: Contacting the funding agencies
Public sector:
- Description of the projects or programs funded;
- Duration of grants/ contracts/ awards;
- Total funding committed;
- Funding disbursement by year; and
- Projected disbursement or future funding commitments by year.
Requests were made to the public sector funders identified asking them for information on funds disbursed since 2000 and future commitments in their local currency. Information requested included:
Agencies contacted included national research funding agencies (e.g., Agence Nationale de Recherches sur le Sida (ANRS) in France and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)), overseas development agencies (e.g., the Department for International Development (DFID) in the UK and the Agency for International Development (USAID) in the US) and multilateral organizations (e.g., UNAIDS, the World Bank and the World Health Organization). Each national agency was also asked to suggest other national agencies that should be contacted.
Philanthropic sector:
Requests were made to all philanthropic funders known to have awarded more than US$100,000 to HIV vaccine, microbicide or HIV prevention R&D. Requests were similar to those sent to public sector funders and asked for the same information. For smaller funders, disbursement estimates were based on information collated from intermediaries and internet searches and, where no information was readily available, the organizations were contacted directly.
In the case of corporate donations, data were only collected on cash donations. No attempt was made to include in-kind support such as goods, services, and donated staff time owing to the difficulties in valuing these contributions.
Commercial sector:
Requests were made to all phrameceutical or biotechnology companies known to be involved in HIV vaccine, microbicide or HIV prevention R&D in writing, in person or by phone. These requests asked these companies to provide information on its own internal funding (i.e., they were asked not to include funds received from external sources such as research agencies or intermediary organizations).
Step 4: Reviewing, checking and analyzing the information collated
The financial information received from each funder was reviewed against the project inclusion criteria and cross-checked. Any issues or questions were followed up with the funder. In the case of US agencies that track HIV vaccine or microbicide funding explicitly, we have made use of their self-reported figures rather than examining each grant individually.
For those organizations that did not respond to information requests even after repeated follow-ups, annual disbursements were estimated based on publicly available information, supplemented by discussions with experts working in the field.
The estimates for each sector were then reviewed for consistency to ensure that similar definitions were used and to eliminate double counting.
The categories used to describe different R&D activities for vaccines and microbicides were derived from those developed by the US National Institutes of Health with the addition of a category for policy and advocacy.

On May 12, 2004, Representative Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) introduced H.R. 4354, the Women's Health Office Act
of 2004. The bill would establish in statute an Office of Women's Health (OWH) within the Office of the
Secretary of HHS, headed by a Deputy Assistant Secretary for Women's Health. It also would establish
women's health offices in CDC, HRSA, FDA, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Under
current law, only NIH and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) have
permanent authorizations for their offices on women's health. OWH would be required to: 1) establish goals
and objectives and coordinate all activities within DHHS for issues of concern to women; 2) provide advice
to the Secretary of HHS concerning scientific, legal, ethical, and policy issues; 3) facilitate coordination of
departmental and agency offices on women's health; 4) establish a DHHS Coordinating Committee on
Women's Health, chaired by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Women's Health, and comprising
representatives from each of the agencies and offices of the Department; and 5) establish a National
Women's Health Information Center. The bill has 41 cosponsors and was referred to the House Energy and
Commerce Subcommittee on Health.

IRC in Baltimore Enters Seventh Year of Green Card Workshops
Three times a year, the Baltimore office of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) holds free workshops to help eligible refugees and asylees apply for their permanent residency.
The project started in 2005 as a collaboration between case workers at the Baltimore IRC, the American Friends Service Committee, several local area Immigration attorneys, and the Maryland Office of Refugees and Asylees.
The project brings together several partners, including the Baltimore Orientation Center's Community Interpreter program, volunteers from the Episcopal Refugee Alliance (ERICA), and local law schools - at the University of Maryland and the University of Baltimore.
"A local university has allowed us to use their computer lab every year, but this month we will hold our workshop at a community center within walking distance of the applicants," stated Paul Chandler, IRC Immigration Program Assistant. "We hope this will make it possible for more applicants to participate."
Paul Chandler and Rachel Mogga, the Immigration Program team at the IRC in Baltimore, have coordinated workshops from 2005 to present. They also held a Citizenship workshop, but continue to recognize the wide need for pro-bono support for adjustment of status.
Ruben Chandrasekar, the Executive Director of the IRC in Baltimore, started the program in 2005. At that time Ruben was Program Director of the Baltimore office of the American Friends Service Committee's immigrant rights project. Ruben and Pat Hatch, who was then Program Manger of the Maryland Office for Refugees and Asylees (MORA), were concerned that Asylees applying for Permanent Residency experienced significant delays in processing time. Ruben states, "The IRC in Baltimore is very excited that over the past 7 years, this collaborative effort has helped more than 500 applicants adjust their status and get them on the path toward U.S. citizenship. Many refugees and asylees have told me that once they received their Green Card, they finally felt that their years of transient living had come to an end, and that the U.S. became a place they could proudly call "home."
Refugees who live in the US for one year are required to apply for permanent residency. Asylees are encouraged to apply, though it is not mandatory. Permanent Residency is essential for a refugee's continued legal status, eligibility for benefits, continued work authorization, and right to obtain U.S. citizenship. Helping refugees adjust their status is critical for their long-term sustainability in the U.S. However, as many refugees are unable to afford legal resources, this project seeks to help the most vulnerable subsets of the refugee population: the elderly, disabled, victims of domestic violence, and families facing economic hardship.
At the workshops, local area law students meet with applicants, under the supervision of local area immigration attorneys.
"I enjoyed meeting other volunteers from Baltimore, both students and Immigration attorneys," stated Kowsar Gowhari, a student at the University of Baltimore School of Law, who volunteered at workshops in March and in August. "I definitely want to volunteer for a workshop again."
The next Green Card workshop will be October 27th, for more information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com

The massive
Highway 99 tunnel project has now lost three weeks to delays, as the dispute continues over which union
will load the excavated muck onto barges.
It's unclear how or how soon this stalemate over eight jobs will be resolved so the machine can resume its 1.7-mile trek from Sodo to South Lake Union.
Construction firms intend to use building-trades union members to operate a conveyor belt, scoop dirt with a front-end loader, and position the barges off Terminal 46 along the Seattle waterfront. They say these tasks support the overall $1.4 billion tunnel contract, and a project labor agreement.
But the International Longshore and Warehouse Union says those jobs — two daily shifts of four workers — are in ILWU territory, because they entail moving materials offshore.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Paul Allen ends KEXP's yearslong fundraising drive with $500,000 donation

So far, the Seattle Tunnel Partners construction team hasn't tried to send workers past an ILWU picket line, which could provoke a confrontation.
Tunnel-boring machine Bertha has been marooned by the labor dispute for the last two weeks, officials say. Before that, the machine advanced a mere 24 feet since drilling began July 30, slowed by fiberglass rods that clogged a screw-type conveyor.
The machine is supposed to reach South Lake Union in about 14 months.
The machine's rotary cutting head has broken through the concrete launch pit into Sodo soil, yet the rear of the cylinder remains in the pit.
When drilling resumes, the mixture of excavated dirt and rock will be barged to the Mats Mats quarry near Port Townsend.
Hearings are under way at the National Labor Relations Board office in downtown Seattle, where the building trades have formally accused the longshore union of "economic coercion and threats" to undermine the project labor agreement.
The ILWU signed a contract in April with tunneling firms that included the four waterfront jobs, but an arbitrator said in July the building-trades pact takes precedence.
Testimony at the NLRB resumes Tuesday. The record will be forwarded to Washington, D.C., where the five-member board would issue a ruling within weeks, said regional director Ronald Hooks.
The board will be urged to act promptly, because of the stoppage, he said.
Between 20 and 30 longshoremen a day have walked the picket line at T-46, said Cam Williams, president of ILWU Local 19 in Seattle.
Williams wouldn't predict what happens next on the waterfront if the NLRB rules against the longshoremen.
"We'll picket as long as we have to, until a resolution is met," he said.
The Seattle Tunnel Partners (STP) team is led by Dragados USA and Tutor-Perini, employing about 250 construction workers.
Last month, project director Chris Dixon said his team previously offered to split the jobs, so the ILWU would handle the barge mooring, while operating engineers and carpenters run the conveyor and a front-end loader.
Dixon's spokesman referred questions Friday to the state Department of Transportation, which commented: "STP has a contractual obligation to open the tunnel by the end of 2015 and that is what we are holding them responsible to meet."

GOTEBORG, Sweden, March 17. EMMA Igelstrom completed a remarkable performance at the Swedish Short Course Championships in Goteborg today, by breaking her own European record in the women's 100 meter breaststroke.
Igelstrom split 31.32 on her way to a final time of 1:05.93, making her the first European to crack 1:06. It was the third time the Swedish sprinter has broken the European record in this event this year. South africa's Penny Heyns holds the world mark at 1:05.40.
Earlier in this meet, Igelstrom broke the world record for 50 meters (30.24) and the Swedish national record for 200 meters breaststroke.
In other events today, Sara Nordenstam was a double winner, taking the 200m fly in 2:11.09, then coming back in the very next women's event to win the 200 IM in 2:14.84. In both events, she led from start to finish. Igelstrom had qualified first in the medley at 2:15.31, but scratched the final to concentrate on the 100m breaststroke.
Anna-Karin Kammerling, best known as a fly/free sprinter, took the 50 back in 28.79, beating out Therese Alshammar at 29.07.
Ann Berglund won the 800 free in 8:44.98 for her econd win of the meet. Erlier she had taken the 400 in 4:12+.
Olympic champion Lars Frolander won the men's 100m butterfly in 52.28 seconds, with Tero Valimaa second in 52.60. Fro led by 54-hundredths at the halfway point, 24.36 – 24.90. Valimaa came on in the final 50, but did not have enough to catch the flying Fro.
Jens Johansson, who won the 100m breaststroke two days ago, took the 50 today in a smart 28.08 seconds. Tied for 24th place was 45 year-old Glen Christiansen, in 30.37. This meet marked the start Christiansen's fourth decade of Swedish Nationals swimming. The two-time Olympian marked his 31st consecutive year of competing at his nation's nationals.
Christiansen's time bettered his own, recently-set, Masters world mark of 30.60 for men 45-49.
Jesper Levander, 22, who won the 400 free yesterday, added the 200 today. Levander's 1:49.23 was enough to hold off Jonas Persson, at 1:49.80.
Dan Hellstrom won the 400 IM in 4;22.83, after trailing Daniel Hallden for the first 200 meters. Hallden faded to fourth in the final half of the race.
Sodertonns SS won the men's 4x 100m free relay in 3:17.92, out-touching Allmanna SS by two-tenths of a second. Sodertonns come-from-behind victory was anchored by Stefan Nystrand's 47.53. Allmanna was paced by Frolander, who split 47.69 for the second leg.

You could fish the bridge and docks in the no wake zone arounds Sportsman's Landing in Belle Rose. Less than 1 hour away.
Bayview landing on Hwy 16 in Port Vincent. If you put in there, go oposite of the bridge (go left), and work your way up the creek, there's some spots to fish. I see people fishing out of kayaks in there all the time. Just be on the look out for the boats. It gets kinda narrow in spots.
thanks for the tips I will have to look into those places. Also has anyone ever tried the pond in the Back of the BREC Burbank soccer fields by the dog park area? on google maps it looks like you could also walk from there to access the larger neighborhood pond behind that one, anyone ever tried?
Old River near Morganza?
Under the I-10 Spillway bridge at the levee West of BR?
Ramah is a good choice. Ya got miles and miles and miles of water.
Ummmmm there place in Livingston Parish its call Petes Landing Google it and you'll see where its located its not far outside Baton Rouge Good Luck!!!!!

11/13/2006, Key Biscayne
We got up really early this morning to make the jump to the Bahamas. After 5 weeks of provisioning, packing, stowing, upgrading, adding, adjusting, configuring and testing, we were ready to go.
Well it was overcast this morning and so we really couldn't get underway at 6AM. When the sun rose at 6:30 we found some hydraulic fluid under the starboard ram. Took a bit to ensure that was just a leak that tightening down a bleed nipple fixed. Then it was 7:30 and all of the bridges stay closed for rush hour (7:30 - 8:30). Then it was something else, then the Jungle Queen was on the way and no way we were going to try to pass that thing in a catamaran.
So finally at 11AM we saw a barge heading out and Hideko and I looked at each other and said, "let's go", in unison. We tossed the dock lines and dropped in behind the king of the New River. Grady's Pile or something. He had all of the bridges opened for us and everyone waited for him (and us) to go by. We arrived at the 17th street causeway (54' bridge) just in time for the Noon opening and shot out into the Atlantic.
Seeing as how it was noon we decided that Cat Cay Bahamas was a bit out of reach, especially with no wind. So we rerouted to our alternate, Key Biscayne. We are at anchor in 10 feet of water on the North East side of Key Biscayne, just South of the Key Biscayne Yacht Club, watching the lights come up on the Miami coastline. Not bad for a first anchorage on the way around the world. I guess it would have been a shame to never have spent a day in our home country on this trip, it is a pretty cool place.
|Key Biscayne
11/12/2006, Fort Lauderdale
Another part of our survey included the 17th Street Causeway, which stands between any moderate sized sail boat on the Intercoastal and the ocean. Unlike the other bridges on the New River this one doesn't open on request. As you can see from the photo the local Leopard and Lagoon dealers are keeping busy.
11/11/2006, The New River
The New River is a strange thing to non-FLers, and we are a mile up it. You can see the stylish Santa off to the right in this snap. Fort Lauderdale has been called the Venice of America (perhaps a stretch) due to its web of interconnected rivers and canals.
I am a sailor, not a barge Capitan. Driving a 26 foot wide catamaran a mile down a narrow river with 5 bridges and hair pin turns, not to mention big commercial vessels and carefree mega-yacht skippers, was a new challenge.
Hideko and I decided that we should survey the route at least once before the maiden voyage. So we did it, we suffered the full cheese of the round trip jungle queen tour. The Jungle Queen is a large double decker river boat looking thing that departs from a marina on the Intercoastal Waterway and makes a short stop just past our marina before returning. It was actually a lot of fun and gave me a good look at what I was in for the first time out in our new boat.
11/10/2006, The Wake Zone
We look forward to Fridays. Not because it's the end of work week but it's because a lunch coach at Lauderdale Marine Center, The Wake Zone, has yummy Argentina Churrasco steak sandwiches!!!
Kenny and Jenny, the owners of the Wake Zone, sent us off with champagne. They are great people. If you are in the neighborhood, you should stop by for a steak sandwich.
You can see the traveler arch opened up in the background where Kenny and Randy were trying to loosen up a siezed block that made it hard to bring in the davit. The only tool narrow enough to get the bolt loose was a 17mm closed end ratched wrench which we secured from McDonalds hardware, a Fort Lauderdale institution. This kept us in port another day but on the bright side we got to hang out with Kenny and Jenny before we left!
11/08/2006, Lauderdale Marine Center
Our beautiful boat has become a beast of burden. She came in with 1/4 tanks and fighting weight accoutrements. Now she has full diesel and water tanks, a dive compressor and tanks, a larger stern anchor and rode, a pickup truck full of stuff, a dinghy and outboard, and now... 300' of 3/8" high test chain. Amazingly she is still trimmed out and sporting paint above the waterline. I can't say enough for the carrying capacity of this boat, everything just disappears with her tremendous storage. It will be interesting to see how she sails fully loaded.
We have a 66 lbs Claw as our secondary bow anchor but we have purchased an 88 lbs Rocna as our primary. The anchor meets us in Miami but I wanted to get the chain here where it is easy to load up. Jack at Rope Inc. is a good source for rope and chain in Fort Lauderdale. Hard trying to get a complete rig with > 4000 lbs WLL but I think we've done it (Rocna to 1/2" galvanized shackle to 300' of 3/8" high test). This puts about 700 lbs up on the forward bridge deck, not optimal for sailing but great for anchoring.
Now back to dragging 475 lbs of chain across the dock.
11/01/2006, New River, Fort Lauderdale, FL
One of the best things about cruising is meeting new people. One of the worst things about cruising is seeing them sail off in another direction.
We made some great friends here on the dock at Lauderdale Marine Center. Fred and Cindy are both dive masters bound for the British Virgin Islands. They are soon to be working at the Leverick Bay, Dive BVI shop. They just traded their 35' cruiser for a beautiful Amel 53 SuperMaramu. Mike, another new friend, sailed the boat up to Florida from Venezuela and is crewing for Fred and Cindy on the 8-10 day trip down to the BVI. We miss them already.
10/31/2006, New River, FL
We just had dinner with Cindy, Fred and Mike from Kelp Fiction II at a nice place on the water about a mile up the river. The Kelp Fiction II team depart for the BVI tomorrow and we wanted to grab dinner to celebrate their last night in the US. I though this would be an opportune time to test out our Walker Bay dinghy, Little Star, with its newly fitted outboard.
All five of us piled into our 4 adult max dink and fired up the 8 hp Yamaha two stroke (2 hp over the suggested max). Things were fine until we got to the train bridge which is too low for even a dinghy to pass. Normally the operator raises the bridge right away but we had to circle for a bit this time, which was curious until we saw the commuter train fly by. It was at this point that Cindy inquired as to the ever increasing water level in the bottom of the dink. Hmmm; rigid hull, check; drain plug installed, check. How could this boat possibly be taking on water, I thought? Then I noticed that even at a beamy 10' and with the Hypalon kit, the little Walker Bay was seriously down on its lines. So down that the waterline had risen above the slot top for the dagger board. I had forgotten that the sail kit required you to cut the top of the dagger board well open. Well, at least this made it interesting. I had a bailer and a sponge onboard so all was well. We had a great dinner and will sorely miss the company of Kelp Fiction II as we scramble through our last few projects at the ship yard.
In retrospect, we continue to love, love, love, our Walker Bay. That said, it is not up to the task of ferrying the full complement of crew and guests viable on Swingin on a Star. With 5 adults on board we felt secure but certainly needed the Hypalon flotation and couldn't dream of planeing. Keeping the speed down was important to directional stability. If you didn't have the sail kit installed I'd say, with calm seas, that 5 is fine on the WB, but don't get squirrelly or folks are going to get wet. The 8 hp also seems like a good fit excepting that with only one on board the stern gets pretty low in the water. As soon as you get one person on the bow seat, she trims out nicely. The seats are great because there's room for two on the stern seat, two on the midships seat and one on the bow seat. The seats and the false floor work nicely at keeping your rump dry (a rare thing in a RIB). The Walker Bay rows great but we replaced the sequoia tree trunks they provide as oars with some lighter, easier to stow, break in half aluminum units. The best thing about the WB though is the sail kit. We bought the simple kit and are really in love with the whole, "being able to sail around the anchorage" thing.
For the two of us, this is the perfect dinghy. It is light and easy to lift and it has a wheel in the heal of the keel allowing you to lift the bow, and roll it up the beach. When we have friends on the boat it is great as a little sail boat, complementing the inflatable kayak and other water toys. However, when we have to take everyone to shore for exploration we will likely be making multiple trips. All boats are compromises and we happily make the necessary concessions for Little Star.
We gave Little Star all of the respects a large boat gets with a proper naming ceremony. Roqs dog bed fit perfectly in the stern well on the maiden voyage.

Bathing in snow
Winter is here in a flurry of snow
And it's the busiest season of the year for us
With eight concerts in nine days!
This weekend will be full of music
And song and laughter —
But I just won't have time to visit any of your blogs.
(I never know whether to switch off Comments in this kind of situation
Or whether to leave them on, knowing I will not be able to respond.)
Oscar reminds me you won't mind if I don't visit —
I think he's telling me to enjoying the enchantment of the season!
For more cuteness, please visit: Camera Critters.

All Spank
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Some spanking sites will just throw a bunch of content together and call it a day, but All Spank puts a little more effort into it. They have a panel of eight spanking enthusiasts who personally choose all the content that gets posted. You'd think you have to pay more for that extra amount of care, but the website is actually quite cheap.
The aforementioned panel has deemed 30 videos worthy of being featured on AllSpank so far and there's some great spanking action to be seen in all of them. Just about all of the babes seem to be in the 18 to 24 age range and every last one of them is a real cutie. The beauties have great bottoms too, so it's lovely to see them get abused and bruised.
The girls get struck with bare hands, shoes, leather straps and even long wooden sticks and all you have to do is download the great-quality movies to see it for yourself. The scenes are available as clips or full-length files and they come in Windows Media format.
One scene that I particularly enjoyed has a schoolgirl named Lena being spanked for shoplifting. Rather than teaching her a lesson, the spanking just turns her on, so she excuses herself to go masturbate. When she gets caught, she gets caned for being such a naughty girl.
The website has a photo section, but there aren't any photographs in it. Instead, there are 30 sets of vid caps. They correspond to the movies, so you can use them to preview the scenes before you go to the trouble of downloading them.
I assume that the site is updating weekly, but there's no way to be certain, as there are no dates. That said, even if the website isn't updating at all, I'd still have no trouble recommending it simply because it's so cheap. All Spank is a real bargain, so if you get off on spanking, you should give it a look.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Beware Of HostICan Hosting
08/03/2010 Update: HostIcan refund issue has been resolved with full refund provided by Mr. Denis Motova. He called me in addition to replying to my last email and leaving comment on this blog and has apologized for the "inter department" screw up. According to him problem was within Billing department and he was away during the last leg of communications I have attempted – hence I got no answer and issue quickly escalated. Because full refund provided I'm crossing out statements within this blog post that no longer hold true and providing update and resolution at the end of time line.
I still don't think that getting a simple refund should be such a frustrating and time consuming process and has to escalate to the point it did
Original Blog Post Content with Edits and Notes:
HostICan VPS and shared hosting provides seemingly great value and since 2008 I was their happy customer, that is until I became a victim of consumer fraud when I have decided to take advantage of their "No Questions Asked Money Back Guarantee".
I was actually quite surprised to discover that culture of defrauding the customer is something that appears to be encouraged by the company owner Mr. Denis Motova himself (Mr. Motova called me personally and advised me that he was out of town). This blog post will contain detailed information and personal opinion so you can decide for yourself if you decide to give your money to HostICan or perhaps look elsewhere…
In attempt to expand our presence my partner and I have decided to purchase yet one more VPS server for our sites. HostIcan was our hosting provider since 2008 and were quite satisfied with their level of technical support, price and performance. Due to that fact we have decided to simply buy one more new VPS Extreme server.
Here is the recap of everything that transpired this blog post and…
Why I Believe that HostICan is a Hosting Fraud Operator!
- On June 4th I have purchased a 6-Months "VPS Extreme" hosting package. $519.70 was paid via PayPal. HUGE mistake on my part as I knew that PayPal doesn't provide buyer protection for any Digital or Service purchases. But at that time I have been a customer with HostICan for over 2 years and opted to go for convenience.
NOTE: Always use Credit Card for large purchases to be able to fight the charges!
- On June 22, after being dissatisfied with the original purchase I have followed the process for obtaining a refund, according to the "30 Days No Questions Asked Money Back Guarantee". I submitted a cancellation and a refund request (Ref #THT-759551) via a phone conversation with the customer service representative named Bakarr. According to an email that I received after this conversation I was to receive my refund within 5 days.
- On June 28 (6 days later) my purchased service has been discontinued and the billing account has been deleted from the system, however the refund has not been processed. I have sent an email in reply to the original ticket associated with the request for a refund.
- On July 2nd, I have called the billing department since I've never received a reply to my June 28th email. I spoke to the customer service representative Brad and asked for assistance with getting a refund. Brad said that he will forward the request to the billing manager and I should get the refund within 5 days.
- On July 4th I have sent a second email asking for refund and clarification since the refund still had not been processed and no communication was received. I know… it was a holiday but even later no response was received!
- July 9 – I had made a second phone call and once again spoke to Brad who opened a new ticket (Ref. # DYN-304071) to expedite the refund for the services. No refund had been provided.
- July 12 – I had opened a PayPal dispute, case #PP-001-016-538-114, to get my money back
- July 14 – PayPal closed my dispute. I spoke to the PayPal account manager who emailed HostICan with a request to honor their refund policy and advised me to pursue escalation outside of PayPal to following authorities: www.bbbonline.com, www.ftc.gov, www.ic3.gov (operated by the FBI), www.econsumer.gov. I honestly found PayPal stand on this quite interesting since in my opinion this is a direct fraud – company took the money for service and failed to provide, service that is measurable by term! But I guess whatever helps them rake the cash…
- July 16 – Called again and spoke to Bakarr, who promised to call me back with a final resolution. I waited for the promised call, which never came. Called back and spoke to Mike, who promised once again to escalate to the billing manager
- July 19 – Called again and spoke with Bakarr and Brad, both have promised to get with billing manager to honor the refund policy. Never received any replies and have not been credited.
- July 19 – Emailed owner of the company Mr. Denis Motova with the information provided above and received a reply "I will investigate, and my internal team will review to see what is going on and get this sorted." I did make a mistake with date of initial purchase in email but since it didn't impact the "Guarantee" period – it is non-essential. See the image below, click to see full image:
- July 23rd – I emailed Mr. Motova again and asked if he has any updates on the case – no reply
- July 29 – I emailed Mr. Motova and also CC-ed their Billing Support email address email@example.com with a request to address the issue. I wanted to be sure that if by any chance Mr. Motova is on vacation or out of office – someone has an ample opportunity to respond and avoid escalation through legal channels. No reply from Mr. Motova but I did receive a notification that yet another support ticket (Ref. # NRI-810414) has been created.
- July 30th – I have followed advise provided by PayPal and submitted complain to every site provided to me as well as writing this blog post.
Post Resolution Facts:
- August 2nd – I have called PayPal and requested escalation and investigation of the HostIcan business practices, since they do business through their merchant account.
- August 2nd – I received full refund as guaranteed by HostICan Policy. Mr. Denis Motova left comment on this blog, called me personally and apologized for the problem in billing department. According to him he was away since our initial communication, which allowed problem to escalate and become public knowledge.
As it stands today, HostIcan took my money for 6 month of service, which had been cancelled after 18 days. I have followed their outlined procedures to get my money back, according to HostICan's Guarantee. The refund had never been processed regardless of my many attempts, including communicating to the owner of the company. At this point it is safe to assume that I am a victim of fraud.
Not to mention that it took me and my partner few weeks to migrate all our sites and business to new host. I have mentioned it in my previous post "Blog On The Move".
Since HostIcan methodically and intentionally ignored all my attempts to resolve this issue via normal means I want to use this blog post as means to warn other consumers by sharing my personal and detailed story!
I withheld nothing and if HostICan choose to reply here – it will not be deleted!

Summary 08/03/2010:
After multiple attempts and escalations I have received full refund! I appreciate direct intervention by Mr. Motova and final resolution of the problem. I do think this issue should have never be allowed to escalate to the point it did and since it became public knowledge – this post will remain online with my edits and final resolution.

Thanks for the warning, I will stay clear of HostICan. I am on the lookout now for other scams like this. Sorry to here that you got caught by this 🙁
What a bummer. Nice of you to warn others of the extremely poor way in which they treated you. I can't understand why they won't honor their agreement and how they could let it get to this stage. The bad publicity would cost them a lot more than what they owe you.
Thank you for getting the word out! By nature I'm a trusting soul~ I'm very grateful you warned me so I don't give HostICan a shot at my $500!
Just checking in to see if there is any change. I am sure they have read this thread by now. Any response from HostICan?
Glad you are getting the word out on how this company lacks integrity and doesn't stand behind their guarantee! I often wonder how so many of these companies stay in business not to mention don't seem to care about their reputations.
It is just awful that you and your partner were treated this way. I recognize the hard work it takes to move your blog and get it all set up. Most of all it is sad to see that a company you have done business with for a couple of years chose to sever the relationship forever in the fashion they did.
Glad you are up and running again and really glad I found your site! Great info you pack on here! Thanks for all your hard work!

Ouch! What a painful situation to have to go through witha company you've been paying money too! Yikes!
Thank you for the heads-up on this company! I recently purchased a VPS and am glad its not with them!
Thanks for getting in contact with me. I apologize that it took me a while to get back to you. Per our conversation, this issue has been resolved and once again my apologies on behalf of the billing group.
Thanks again for letting me know about all of this.
– Denis
Guess it took throwing it out there in the open on your blog that expedited the refund!
That's one way to get the owner to respond!
But the damage has been done and the old saying applies too little too late, as he could have avoided this whole thing by ensuring his policies are actually executed as promised!
Rock on Alex!!! and thanks for saving the rest of us!
"Dream, Believe, Become…"
Tracey Keefer
A very bad experience.I will never host with HostICan.BWN I heard first time about this host in your site
Alex, thanks for updating us about the resolution.
Mr. Motova, I imagine it was hard thing to do – apologize for the screw up in public. I hope this is being viewed at your company as a learning opportunity. Whoever is in charge of PR at HostICan would have lost their job- if I was in your shoes. I was expecting an official response from HostICan to be among first 10 comments of this discussion.
As an affiliate I made some decent pocket change promoting web hosting providers. While I have not made any money with HostICan the pages on my websites featuring HostICan all used to stress on "No Questions Asked Money Back Guarantee". I have removed any mentions of HostICan 30 Day Money Back guarantee, for time being.
I hope you can understand where some one like me is coming from. As an affiliate I might be found liable one day for promoting a guarantee that… oh well has rather number of complicated steps to it (don't take my word on it since I am not a lawyer).
My initial intent was to publish a longer post on one of my own blogs. However, I needed to tune it down a bit- especially after refund was made.
As one of the comments mentioned a "screw up" like this already caused big deal of damage. And it's consequences will last longer that one might imagine- Internet is a strange beast with extremely long memory.
I still believe HostICan has an opportunity to change things around by making sure no one has to be in Alex's shoes. Just think about it, even Alex admits that your company offers above average hosting solutions. I think small hosting companies like HostICan can outgrow GoDaddy's and Yahoo's of web hosting world if they do things the right way.
I have never heard of that site, but I know that find good and affordable hosting can be difficult. I have moved hosting three times since in online business and run a dedicated server now.
The two hosting companies I would recommend are Serverloft, and ThePlanet. Later this year I intend to move to Serverloft because there you get more bang for your money.
Good to see it's all resolved. A shame that it had to get to this though. Let's hope it's a lesson learned.
It's an awful thing when businesses do this. It makes it tough for people to trust those of us who conduct business ethically.
But Mr. Motova's absence should not have had an impact on whether or not you get a refund- that's why we hire & train staff- to handle issues for us. A simple yes over the phone to his employees should have done the trick. Geesh, I managed a bar/restaurant from a hospital bed several years ago.
Your post shows what real power there is in blogging. keep it up.
Kathy Pop
Glad to see it was all resolved, Alex… Looking at the dates involved, maybe you misunderstood their '30-day refund policy' – obviously it means it takes 30 days of action on your part before you can expect a refund… 😉
Hi Alex,
Sorry you had so much trouble getting your money back. Like Kathy said, it is a shame that businesses let things like this happen.
I ran an off line business for 42 years and was away many times during those 42 years, but I always made sure that my employees knew exactly what my policies where for any foreseen situations.
That is all that in necessary.

Old Porvoo : Michelin's recommendations
The historical quarter was the working centre of town until the 19C. It burned down in 1760; many of the fine wooden houses therefore date from the late 18C and early 19C. Charming little houses, brightly coloured with neat gardens, line the winding cobbled streets. Östra Långgatan used to be the workers' quarter. To enjoy a typical view of Porvoo, with its ochre-red warehouses lining the river and the old quarter climbing the hillside up to the cathedral, follow Jokikatu / Ågatan northwards until up to the bridge.

I would rather, personally, prosecute federally because of the timelines. I mean, it's gotten to the point where a lot of these criminals don't even, you know, a year's nothing and then they're going to get out of jail. And they keep committing these crimes, especially a lot of domestic violence crimes.
And I'm glad they changed the law this year where the feds are able to take some of those cases and prosecute them.
You know, if you keep them there incarcerated longer, you know, it's, it shows them the crime is a bad crime and that they need to be in jail.
Some of these people have … are just chronic criminals. They just do this every day.

Models Of The Runway: Heidi Klum Design Elimination
April 01, 2010 09:51 PM by Lisa Princ
After Jonathan's elimination on Project Runway for his horrid Heidi Klum design, will his model be following him on this week's episode of Models of the Runway? Pressure mounts as it draws closer to the end, but why do we have two models leaving this week? Keep reading for all the details!
Tonight on Models of the Runway on Lifetime, the girls are shaken up over Valeria's departure. Valeria decided upon getting a huge offer from DKNY that she would take it. She did get a chance to speak with Seth, who completely understood as the offer they had given her previously had now doubled. The models were excited to see Cerri return, but for how long would she be here?
And after Jonathan's elimination, Brandise was worried that she is heading home. During the runway show, Brandise starts telling the girls that she wishes Jay would go home, leaving Brittany a little bit annoyed, but she bit her tongue and did not say a word. Of course, she was overjoyed to learn that Jay would not be going home.Brandise continues to go on and on about how horrible Jay's designs are, but then admits that she has nothing again Jay, but she does not like Brittany….big shock there.
After a trip to the hair salon on Models of the Runway on Lifetime, it was time for elimination. Emilio kicked it off by choosing Lorena once again, followed by the Anthony who chose Monique after his win with her again. Seth was up next and after telling Cerri what a great job she had done, he then said he was choosing Kristina instead which was not a shock to Cerri. Mila chose Brandise, since she has worked with her in the past.
Jay was next up to choose on Models of the Runway on Lifetime, and after much deliberation and letting Cerri know that he admired her walk, he chose Brittany. This meant that Cerri was going home yet again, which she did not seem to mind at all. Best of luck Cerri, on to bigger and better things!
Be sure to tune in next Thursday at 11 PM EST for a brand new episode of Models of the Runway. See you after the show!

As SarahMC said yesterday, we are all of us Harpies, a bit pressed for time and energy lately. Some of us are juggling other writing gigs; some of us are juggling other, uh, life gigs. Some of us are applying to liberating graduate school programs! (Like, um, me! More on that some other time.) Some of us are doing all of the above. At any rate I think I speak for the others and say we will try to be back in better form next week and not leave all the work to SarahMC and Becks, who have been shouldering a lot of the burden here. And the Natalie Merchant song's been playing in my head every time I guiltily consult the Harpy daily email threads about what we're posting.
In the meantime, how about, since we sort of know you only in text and by screenname, tell us who would play you in a movie of your life – and justify your choice? Don't be overly dependent on physical characteristics – Hollywood is so good with the prosthetics and makeup these days – but try to capture your general demeanour, if you can, in stable of sadly-uniform film and television actors. Also, to keep the game from being a total wash: Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Janeane Garofalo are totally unavailable, you guys.
I always get told I bear a passing resemblance to Rose McGowan (blech) but, having done what I am told is an excellent portrayal of Lady Bracknell in high school (the teacher-director said, "You put so much of yourself in the role!" uh, thanks), and being sort of a master of the over-the-eyeglass-rim sneer, I'm gonna go more with Judi Dench. We both appear sort of harmless initially, but could kick your ass six ways from Sunday.
Have at it!

As you can see the original was made on separate pieces of paper then linked later, which gives it some problems with missing sections.

By country | Hungary
Hungary's viticultural history stretches back to the 17th century and, despite the ravages of Soviet occupation and dominance, the country has earned a reputation for its signature sweet wines from the Tokaj region. Tokaji wine is a sweet white wine made from botrytised grapes, and it is graded on a scale from 2 to 6 'Puttonyos', 6 being the sweetest. The astoundingly sweet Essencia measures 7 Puttonyos, and is considered one of the greatest sweet wines in the world.
Hungary has also started to produce an impressive range of white wines, and some good reds, and so we see the country's wine beginning to make the transition from commodity to much sought-after consumer product.

NET WORTH: $2.2 billionAGE: 37Jack Dorsey has founded two billion-dollar Silicon Valley companies and shows no signs of slowing. His first, Twitter, went public in Nov. 2013. Dorsey, who owns nearly 5% of the company's outstanding shares, serves as chairman of the San Francisco-based microblogging service. He owns an even larger stake--nearly 29%--in payments company Square, which had estimated revenues of $220 million in 2012 and is valued at about $3.25 billion as of a funding round announced in Sept. 2012. He would also have more if he had not voluntarily given back 10% of his shares to the company in Dec. 2013 to increase equity available for employee compensation.
