There's nothing like a summer's day to entice you outdoors, and a family break at Bluestone puts you in the heart of the Pembrokeshire playground. With spectacular scenery, beautiful beaches, quaint villages, diverse wildlife and deep history there is never a better time than summer to get out and explore the local area surrounding the resort, including the National Park that Bluestone sits within.
The Bluestone Free Range Summer Festival explodes into action during the school summer holidays with a carnival of spectacular fun for guests. We have weekly carnival parades and special activities such as coracle racing and lantern making, as well as a full programme of indoor and outdoor activities suitable for babies, children and adults, plus, free to staying guests are the Blue Lagoon waterpark and Indoor Adventure Centre.
If you've got a large group, we've got lodges that sleep up to 8 people, or connect together. For guests with mobility problems, many of our lodges have ground floor bedrooms, or are even adapted for wheelchair users. And if you've got a really big family, you might choose one of our Dinas bunkhouses. They're all equally luxurious, with all the comforts of home, including comfy beds and fluffy towels.
We have a great choice of luxury accommodation for large and small groups. Bluestone Village offers restaurants, shops and a charming pub. Our Spa offers wonderful treatments to pamper you. Or hire a cycle and venture into the countryside with our cycle paths. You can zoom the flumes at the Blue Lagoon and fly high at Steep Ravine our awesome high ropes course.
There really is nowhere quite like Bluestone and we can't wait to be drawn back again.

During the long Summer evenings, Bluestone is the perfect place to experience alfresco dining.

The choice is yours.If you'd rather eat undercover, Bluestone has a variety of restaurants, cafés and bars for all taste-buds and all occasions.
During the School Summer holidays we have exclusive entertainment and activities for all the family to enjoy as part of our unique Bluestone Summer Festival. From samba drumming, coracle racing and all kinds of messy fun for the little ones, there's a host of activities that'll suit everyone. And these all culminate into our great Carnival Parade when the youngsters show off everything they've learned and made.
We offer short breaks for all seasons and holidays throughout the year. Whether you are looking for a family holiday, relaxing couples getaway or somewhere to celebrate an occasion with friends, we have a self catering or inclusive break that fits the bill.
All of our lodges, cottages and studios are equally luxurious but they do come in different shapes and sizes.
Wild things can happen at Bluestone. From beast hunts to tree climbing, high rope escapades to catapult flinging.
Whether you've worked up an appetite or just looking for a snack, we've got the perfect places for scrumptious freshly prepared food.

I unlocked an iPhone for my friend in Germany back in December of '07 and here lately he says it's been crashing at random, displaying the Apple logo and such.
I used a 1.0.2 iPhone from back in September that had previously been used "legitimately" on the AT&T network here in the US and I can't remember exactly but I believe I used touchfree to jailbreak and then Anysim 1.1 to unlock for firmware 1.1.1 then used Oktoprep and the anysim "1.2.1u" or something like that to upgrade and unlock to 1.1.2.
He's coming to visit me in June and I told him I could take a look at it then. Is there any way to fix him up to 1.1.4 firmware using iLiberty or something like that?
Any ideas what's going on with my poor friend's phone? All help appreciated.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Nonstar This product is terrible It's a simple can opener. It worked the first time I used it. Today, it wouldn't work. I played with it for 10 minutes and it worked toward the end. I came very close to tossing it out. If it doesn't work the next time I use it (to open tin cans of beans), I will toss it.

I have to say the Shimano cleat system is light, cheap and it works. If you need a cleat system that you don't not want to spend $200 this is the way to go.
I do have to say that these cleats do not last very long. I am a weekend rider and I have to say they usually only last me about 3 to 6 months. I did find a trick to make my cleats last a little longer. Instead of replacing both, one is usually worn out more than the other, I just rotate the cleats and put the less used one on the foot with the one that has been used more. This way you can get full use out of both cleats which also saves you $ in the end.
Date: 19 / Nov / 2013
I have used this type of cleat almost exclusively over the years. It has a large platform that makes me feel more secure when out of the saddle and climbing. With the sale, these were about half the cost I've paid for domestic replacement cleats.

When it comes to pedals I find these OEM replacements the best. Also nice that they came with all the spacers and screws needed to replace old worn parts.

Came fast and could not beat the price
Date: 31 / Oct / 2013

Not much to review, if you have the pedals, you need the cleats. I like this system, have used for years, works great, not too fussy.
Date: 03 / Nov / 2011
I've been using Shimano pedals and cleats as long as I can remember. The cleats are great that when Shimano updated their pedals, the cleats stayed the same so I don't have to fork out $$ for 3 sets of cleats. I've used PD540, PD6600 and PD6700. They all work well. Sometimes I wonder why does shimano not bring out cleat covers like Look or Speedplay? But anyway, it's never a deal breaker

Internode Boss Brags About His New Toys After iiNet Sale
By Computer Daily News | Tuesday | 21/08/2012
After banking the proceeds of iiNet's $105 million cash-and-shares takeover of his Internode ISP operation, Adelaide high-flier (in all senses of the term) Simon Hackett has bought himself a new Swiss toy.
He has acquired a brand-new $3 million Pilatus PC-12 turbo-prop aircraft to go with his electric-powered Tesla Roadster 2.5 Sport and his Stemme powered glider, and tomorrow begins flying the Pilatus back to Adelaide in an 11-day mission.
He's installed another toy in the cockpit: a $499 Datatoy video camera that uses technology to eliminate the twirling prop from its scenic HD recording of the trip.
The natty Pilatus PC-12s are a common sight in outback Australia: the Royal Flying Doctor Service has 31 of them, and the WA and NT cops also have several. But they're outfitted in rather more spartan furnishings than Hackett's six-seater executive model with its plush leather and mahogany trim.
The PC-12 can be flown by a single pilot, cruises at 500km/h and - being pressurised - has a ceiling of 30,000ft. It can take off in 450 metres and land in 228: handy in outback SA.
While it has a range of up to 4100km, Hackett is planning a leisurely trip home from Stans, Switzerland, with stopovers in Crete; Sharm el-Sheikh (Egypt); Muscat (Oman); Agra; Chiang Rai; Ho Chi Minh City; Bali; and Broome.
"This will be the first time I've ever been to any of these places. What a way to get there!" says the Internode chief in his online blog.

It's all gone dead dying out
memories the fresh memories that
live only in my mind.
I relive them in flashes
but the distance kills me
so when I hum Stardust
it's my mother, teaching me to play the piano
playing that piece as I learned it.

In short: Really enjoyable evening race - well worth getting home late for.In full: This was my second time at Mobberley and confirmed what I remembered of last year of it being a really well organised and friendly race. I like the novelty of waiting for the barriers of the level crossing to go up so runners can get to the start/get to the pub after the race. Wilmslow and other local clubs were out in force but it's a welcoming crowd for 'unattached' runners too. All in... a nice run out in the sunshine.Date of review: May 13, 2011
In short: A Great Summer Evening with something for everyoneIn full: I really enjoy the smaller races and this one was another cracker, thanks to everyone at Wilmslow Running Club who did a great job of organising it. The route was tougher than expected (the hill really is a killer - sorry I didn't believe the previous reviews), but I really enjoyed the run. The Railway pub has a good range of beers too. Results were available almost straight away and all procedes went to a very worthwhile charity. Fantastic!Date of review: May 13, 2011

Local franchise beckons everyone from business professionals to soccer moms with fresh roasted beans. – In Short
Ed Dunn admits to tinkering with computerized roasting a few years back, but soon the Dunn Bros founder realized that on-site, hands-on TLC was better than impersonal high-tech beaning. All Dunn's employees are trained to be roasters, the coffee is served up knowledgeably, and the high quality is consistent across all locations. The crowds are more strong dark-roast than a light latte-frappe-mocha one, plus there are those who grab a sandwich on their lunch breaks.

This is what is popularly known as a "cheater" recipe. Your guests will think that it took hours to create this delicious soup – but, shhhhh! - Just between you and KosherEye, it takes minutes.
1 32-ounce carton Tomato Soup like Imagine Brand1 32-ounce carton Pea Soup like Imagine Brand2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce½- 1 lb. package faux kosher crab2 cups half and half or whole milk (or mixture of both)2 Tablespoons sherry
Combine soups and Worcestershire in 4 quart pot – heat on mediumUntil simmering. Simmer gently about 5 minutes just to combine flavors.Then add crab, milk, and sherry. Gently simmer for about 10 - 15 minutes and serve.Optional garnish: garlic or herbed croutons
Approximately 8-10 servings
We have not made this parve, but we think that it would work fine with a parve soy or rice milk substitute for the cream.
This recipe would also work well substituting mushroom soup like Imagine Brand.
Recipe: Kosher, soup, dairy or parve

de Blasiis Chamber Music Series at The Hyde
Spring 2014 Concerts
All concerts are held in the Helen Froehlich Auditorium at The Hyde Collection.
Admission: $25 for single admission at the door; $5 for students with ID.
For additional information or reservations call David Bullard, artistic director, at 518-792-2383 or visit www.deblasiis-chamber-music.org.
Sunday, April 27 at 2pm: The Botkin/Bullard/Wachmann Trio (Sean Botkin, piano; Suzanne Bullard, violoncello; Eric Wachmann, clarinet)
This newly minted ensemble was formed by friends and colleagues who have performed with one another in various ensembles over the past several years. It was only recently that they came together to explore the literature for this instrumental combination, culminating with the ensemble's debut in March 2013 with a performance of the Beethoven Trio in Bb, op. 11.
Steinway artist Sean Botkin has performed extensively in the United State, Europe, Central and South America, Russia and Asia as soloists and chamber musician. In 2012 he made his Chicago Symphony debut in the Rachmaninoff Fourth Piano Concerto.
Suzanna Bullard has performed in our series, in the Cedar Valley Music Festival and the Castle Chamber Series at Wartburg College. She has been a member of the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony for over 10 years and has played with the Schenectady Symphony and the Cedar Rapids Opera among others.
Erich Wachmann is professor of clarinet at Wartburg College and principal clarinet of the Waterloo Cedar Falls Symphony. He has also performed with the Cedar Rapids, Greensboro (North Carolina), Windsor (Ontario) and Ottawa symphonies, among others, and is also active in chamber music and as a soloist in the U.S. and Europe. He has recorded two CD's, the Music of Brahms and Schuman, and one with works of the French composers known as Les Six.
Sunday, June 1 at 2pm: Diana Fanning, piano
Diane Fanning has toured extensively as a solo performer and chamber musician throughout the U.S. and in England, France, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, the Czech Republic, and Germany.
Ms. Fanning has been guest artist with the Takas, the Jupiter, and the Alexander string quartets, and with cellist Dieuwke Davydov. She has toured Europe, including recording for Radio Netherlands.The Davydov-Fanning Duo was presented in a Carnegie Recital Hall debut by the Concert Artists Guild International competition. Her CD of works of Janacek, Chopin, and Debussy received enthusiastic reviews in both England and the United States.Ms. Fanning has appeared many times as soloist with the Vermont Symphony and in her debut appearance with the VSO, the concertmaster was Virginia de Blasiis.
Ms. Fanning studies in New York with Ruth Geiger, her principal teacher, and also at the Paris Conservatory with Marcelle Heuclin. She is an Affiliate Artist at Middlebury College in Vermont.
Giovannina (Gio) and Virginia (Ginny) de Blasiis, two sisters from a musical family, founded the de Blasiis Chamber Music Series. Gio graduated from Yale; studied piano in New York City, London, and Paris; received a Master of Arts degree from the Eastman School; and taught at Emma Willard, Skidmore, and privately in Glens Falls. Her younger sister, Ginny, studied at the Curtis Institute, Juilliard, and Skidmore. She was concertmaster of the Vermont Symphony, played with the Schenectady and Glens Falls Symphonies, and taught in the Glens Falls school system.
Gio gave eight piano programs at the home of Mary Hoopes in 1932 at the request of Charlotte Hyde. Ginny, after her violin studies, joined her sister in sonata recitals. George Finckel, well-known cellist on the music faculty of Bennington College, then joined them to make up the trio which was to be the nucleus of the Chamber Music Series. Through their many contacts, Gio and Ginny were able to attract major performers to the area from around the country and abroad.
Programming was always innovative, from the romantic and classical to the modern, and was scored for all combinations of instruments. After the early years at the Hoopes' home, concerts moved to the First Presbyterian Church. Later, they were held at The Hyde Collection, at first in the Courtyard of Hyde House and then in the new auditorium in the Museum's Education Wing.
After the sisters' deaths, a board of directors was formed to carry on their mission of bringing the finest performers and programs to the Glens Falls area. With the ongoing support of The Hyde Collection, the community, faithful subscribers, and the City of Glens Falls, six concerts continue to be presented each year. Thanks to Gio and Ginny's vision, the de Blasiis Chamber Music Series is one of the oldest in the country.

On Global Warming, the Tea Party is Worse than the GOP
On Global Warming, the Tea Party is Worse than the GOP
There's a fascinating new public opinion analysis out today from Anthony Leiserowitz and the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication. It looks at political divides and how they impact one's views of the science, but with this new twist—Tea Partiers and Republicans are treated differently.
And look what results:
- 53 percent of Republicans believe global warming is happening, but just 34 % of Tea Partiers.
- 56 percent of Republicans, but 69 % of Tea Party members, say there is "a lot of disagreement" among scientists about whether global warming is happening.
- Tea Party members are much more likely than Republicans (45 % to 20 %) to have heard of "ClimateGate."
- Staggering, but not surprising if you've been following my posts: "Tea Party members are much more likely to say that they are 'very well informed' about global warming than the other groups," according to the Yale study. "Likewise, they are also much more likely to say they 'do not need any more information' about global warming to make up their mind."
In other words, Tea Party members are more extreme than Republicans in their rejection of the scientific consensus on global warming—simultaneously more wrong, and also more sure of themselves.
What's up with that?
Well, the study also shows that Tea Partiers are more likely than other Republicans to be "born again" Christians and to doubt evolution, and highly individualistic and anti-egalitarian in their moral values.
In short, what we appear to be seeing in them is a kind of merger of right wing free market views on the one hand, and the unwavering certainty associated with certain forms of fundamentalist religion on the other.
They know they're right, they know that liberals and scientists—and most of all, President Obama—are wrong, and there is no swaying them in that. (There is also some reason to think that Tea Party members are authoritarian in their outlook, wanting to impose various types of Christian views in government.)
When you merge this with previous data on white male conservatives and climate change, it becomes apparent that the person least likely to change his mind on this issue and accept the science is a 1) white 2) male 3) conservative 4) Tea Party American.
So what should we do? This gets back to the whole debate with Dave Roberts about whether to "beat" them by being better at politics. That's a tactical discussion where folks will differ, but one thing is clear–we're all better off in knowing precisely who the opposition is.

The Tea Party and most Libertarians by a large margin feel that global warming is a manufactured hoax to deny them 'freedom'- and to destroy the free enterprise system.
You can go over and over the data, the observations, the paleo climates of the past- and how CO2 throughout earths long geologic history has been responsible for massive climate change- but they still deny it all.
reasoning with these people is impossible- the truth will come however has climate change and its nasty and costly side effects kick in-
when their greedy bottom lines begin to suffer- they may begin to changer their minds.
The Tea Party is worried about 'Red's & 'Socialists' et al destroying the free enterprise system-- the only thing going to bring down the free enterprise system is global warming- with a huge thud by around 2030-
as Bette Davis said in 'All About Eve' 'Fasten your Seat Belt- its Going to Be a Bumpy Night'
As long as we are making predictions - here's mine:
Western industrial co2 emissions wil plunge precipitously in the next few years, thanks to massive unavoidable system wide economic crashes. People will riot. Living standards will plunge and organized crime will win the day.
So really nothing to worry about.
"People will riot. Living standards will plunge and organized crime will win the day."
Isn't that in reality, what the Libertarians are actually voting for? In their minds, they are after Liberty!!! It's all about the liberty!! Let us have freedom!! In reality, they are parroting the dogma they have ingested from manipulators much smarter than themselves.
Libertarian fallacies:
1) Let us have freedom to carry weapons anywhere!!...until one of my family gets killed...then I'd like you to regulate.
2) Let us have less red tape on building practices!! It slows down growth!....Until someones husband is killed on a jobsite.....& in the end, when no one listens to their plea for action & investigation, they turn to the unions.
3) Let us have have no minimum wage!! It destroys our manufacturing sector these high wages!......Until your own wages are cut...then it's unfair & you can't survive on so little when everything is so expensive. Plus lets conveniently forget that Germany has a high wage system & still has a thriving manufacturing sector.
4) Let us have less bureaucrats , regulations & red tape on our industries & corporations!! It stifles growth & prevents job creation!! .......Hey! They got a machine to do my job, I thought they cared about people & jobs!? Hey, they just dumped a whole heap of waste on my property & when I complained, no one listened or came to my aid!! Useless government!!
A study was done on this. The termed coined is called the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Basically, some people are so dumb that they lack the cognitive ability to recognize that they are dumb.
I have long argued that trying to use logic and facts is a useless tactic with these people. Think of them like junior high schoolyard bullies. Their weakness is their egos. The best solution is to make them look and feel stupid. Better yet, embarrass them in front of a group of others (or on a message board). Get them laughed at. They will squirm away.
I know that many on the left shy away from these tactics because they "are too good for it".
I'm sorry, but denigration works against those with a mentality that doesn't know any better. Our desire to play fair only succeeds in getting our butts kicked.
I highly recommend watching the movie Thank You for Smoking. It gives useful insight into how this game is played.
"A study was done on this. The termed coined is called the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Basically, some people are so dumb that they lack the cognitive ability to recognize that they are dumb."
It's not about ability - it's about assumptions being made about some specific field where a person has a less than complete education. Everyone is prone to this effect in areas in which they do not specialize.
"I have long argued that trying to use logic and facts is a useless tactic with these people. Think of them like junior high schoolyard bullies. Their weakness is their egos. The best solution is to make them look and feel stupid. Better yet, embarrass them in front of a group of others (or on a message board). Get them laughed at. They will squirm away."
If you enjoy advanced education in some particular field, why lower yourself to ridicule of others? Why don't you use some superior explanation and art of persuasion to make your logic and facts more palatable? Are you not smart enough to do that?
"I know that many on the left shy away from these tactics because they "are too good for it"."
Charitable. There is plenty of bitter anger and mean spirited contempt on the left. Of course there are exceptions but do you really think the left is particularly known for playing nice? I hadn't noticed.
"I'm sorry, but denigration works against those with a mentality that doesn't know any better. Our desire to play fair only succeeds in getting our butts kicked."
Maybe you should teach high school. tell those slackers how stupid they are. that'll fix em good
Libertarianism isn't a perfect solution.
Just pointing out there are other unavoidable realities we are being faced with.
Having a laser focus on co2 is great and all that but if you stand back and take a look at the world, co2 is not the only game in town.
@ Rick James
I hear what you are saying about the potential for worse economic collapse. And we need a functioning economy to tackle the issue of global warming.
However, I think the best path to improving the economic outlook includes development of clean energy and energy efficiency
GetEnergySmartNow has an interesting article today on jobs, that covers some of this, and more.
CO2 may not be the only issue, but it is the one that, if not dealt with, will likely ensure complete economic collapse, along with political collapse, societal collapse and maybe mass extinction in a human life time or two.
We can probably expect 4 C warming(from pre-industrial temps) by the end of the century, on a business as usual trajectory, something humans have never experienced. The most probable result would be complete collapse of civilization and collapse of ecosystems about 100 years hence. Food shortages from climate change would start many decades before then, and in fact may have already begun.
Above based on my guestimate of doubling of CO2 to about 560ppm by about 2080, for 3 C warming from pre-industrial time.
What I often say to deniers is that Americans support action against countries that demonstrate a less than one percent chance of having nuclear weapon capabilities. We protect ourselves against a less than five percent statistical chance our house will burn. We insure ourselves for the less than twenty percent chance we may get sick. The question they need to deal with is, "what if the science is right?"
Tea Partiers dismiss this logic because they have experts who inform them about such topics, like Sarah Palin. The public gets their education from subsidized coal and oil industry ads, overwhelmingly prolific on the airwaves, indoctrinating the under-informed with half-truths and twisted perspectives. The environmentally concerned would do better if they pooled resources to combat this media blast. Unfortunately, as long as the airwaves belong to wealthy industries and the news media remain only quasi-independent info-sources, the public will remain under or misinformed and pliable by those who perceive wealth in denial.
I will challenge that by pointing out that the very people who ridicule Palin and the Tea Party the most are pretty much all on board with Palin about what should be done about global warming.
The answer across a vast political spectrum is .... Do Nothing.
That's why Obama was all about health care and now is all about jobs.
No one with actual power has climate on their agenda. You can blame Palin and the Tea Party if you want but that's too easy.
Palin is hardly even a politician anymore. She just an occasional contributor on Fox and she gives some rah rah speeches and posts stuff on Facebook. She's not your problem.
"The answer across a vast political spectrum is .... Do Nothing."
So Obama has almost mirrored people like Rick Perry & Michelle Bachman & said climate change is all a hoax & we should do nothing? Despite capitulating to the fossil fuel industry, I haven't heard Obama use any such language.
"That's why Obama was all about health care and now is all about jobs."
If it was all about the jobs he would remove fossil fuel subsidies & allow renewables to compete with fossil fuels on the free market. Thus creating millions of clean tech jobs. At least he wasn't busted like denier & liar for hire Chris Christie, who after a call from the Koch, dropped his green initiatives. Well not yet anyway.
If fossil fuels were the savior for the country, they would have saved it a long while ago. The fact is, the fossil fuel industry uses less & less labour to extract & process minerals. It's mostly a mechanized process now. The fossil fuel industry will make billionaires even richer, provide some government revenue, but provide relatively few jobs. It's the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over & over & expecting a different result.
"Palin is hardly even a politician anymore."
Was hardly one in the first place.
"She just an occasional contributor on Fox and she gives some rah rah speeches and posts stuff on Facebook. She's not your problem."
She can nominate & run tomorrow if she decided to.
"Despite capitulating to the fossil fuel industry, I haven't heard Obama use any such language."
well that's the point - words don't matter - actions do.
A good politician is going to say all the right things but that doesn't mean he fully believes it.
for example I live in Vancouver. I can go around telling people that it's an earthquake zone and we better get ready for the big one. But if I don't take the time and money to put together some survival supplies then I probably don't really believe it's coming or that it's anything to really be concerned about.
Unlike most people I actually have a good survival pack.
well that's the point - words don't matter - actions do.
A good politician is going to say all the right things but that doesn't mean he fully believes it."
It's a bit hard when the Republicans only objective is their own interests & not the interests of the country. They are now there only to oppose. As a GOP insider who left has now exposed.
"It should have been evident to clear-eyed observers that the Republican Party is becoming less and less like a traditional political party in a representative democracy and becoming more like an apocalyptic cult, or one of the intensely ideological authoritarian parties of 20th century Europe. This trend has several implications, none of them pleasant."
"Far from being a rarity, virtually every bill, every nominee for Senate confirmation and every routine procedural motion is now subject to a Republican filibuster. Under the circumstances, it is no wonder that Washington is gridlocked: legislating has now become war minus the shooting, something one could have observed 80 years ago in the Reichstag of the Weimar Republic. As Hannah Arendt observed, a disciplined minority of totalitarians can use the instruments of democratic government to undermine democracy itself."
"A couple of years ago, a Republican committee staff director told me candidly (and proudly) what the method was to all this obstruction and disruption. Should Republicans succeed in obstructing the Senate from doing its job, it would further lower Congress's generic favorability rating among the American people. By sabotaging the reputation of an institution of government, the party that is programmatically against government would come out the relative winner."

3730 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV | Directions 8910936.107143 -115.173667
Sun-Thu 5pm-11pm
Fri-Sat 5pm-12am
Neighborhoods: Paradise
Ultra-fresh fish creations are served at this spacious, modern seafood eatery. – In Short
Upon arrival, diners are greeted by a long stainless steel bar where guests enjoy predinner drinks. The high-ceilinged, conversation-friendly dining room features booth seating and tall tables for four with high chairs. The kitchen staff prepares dishes in the open kitchen that displays a raw bar and fish tanks. The shellfish sampler appetizer features oysters complemented by a tart apple cider mignonette and clams dashed with cilantro, red bell peppers and lime.
Looks are deceiving... – Went to this restaurant for a group dinner (about 14 of us) on a Sat. night. Although the setting and atmosphere is nice, the service was absolutely horrible. After getting our salads/appetizers, we waited over 1 hour for our main entree, and the waitress did not follow-up with us. We noticed that many other customers were waiting just as long and the mgr./ waiters didn't do much about it. Some customers decided to walk away and close out the bill. Just a very poor experience that night...
User review by jnakaoki – The appetizers are tasty, although not enough to make up for the poor service. I can't speak on the entrees since we never got to them. We canceled our order after waiting well over an hour for our food with hardly any attention from the wait staff. There are bad days in the kitchen, but it was really the poor service that ruined the meal. Management in particular was very rude and defensive. I expected more from a Rick Moonen restaurant...
Not very good – Didn't enjoy my experience. I couldn't believe how long it took to get my food.
Worst place in Vegas! – If you want to wast your time, this is the place to go. The service is bad. The manager stinks and should give all the money he ever earned back. I would avoid this place at all costs.
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE – THE WORST experience- 1 1/2 hrs after we got seated, we still had no entree. we finally complained and were told that the kitchen was backed up (they didn't bother telling us anything until before). we wanted to cancel some orders as we lost our appetities waiting, but they refused to let us. we insisted that we weren't going to pay for meals (not cheap) that we weren't going to eat and they reluctantly let us, but were completely rude about it. we asked for the bill and half an hour later, no bill. we finally decided to walk out (along w/several other tables), and the waitress threatened to call security. we eventually paid the $200 bill, which was for just appetizers. i could not believe they still wanted us to accept our meals at full price after almost 2 hrs! never go to this place-it's not worth it.

Just seconds after his birth, he opens his eyes wide, gazing at his mother through the clear water of a birthing pool.
Those few seconds, and nearly every other minute of his delivery through waterbirth, was exactly what his parents Gavin and Jessica Winter had hoped for.
"It was amazing," says Jessica. "He just looked up at us and it was so beautiful and so natural."
Making a choice
The Pipestone couple heard about waterbirth during CenteringPregnancy® sessions, a pre-natal program that combines one-on-one prenatal care with group education and support. Jessica, a pharmacist, did some research and decided that this new option would fit her plans for a low-intervention, unhurried labor and birth.
The first-time mom had been present in the birthing room during other relatives' labor and deliveries and the experience helped her decide what she wanted and didn't want when she gave birth. Her husband Gavin had been present at the birth of his son five years earlier, which had been a cesarean section delivery, quite different from the natural childbirth he and Jessica hoped for.
"There isn't a wrong or a right way for a baby to come into the world, but you have choices," says Gavin, lifting three-month-old Broderick to his face with a grin as his wife clicks on a display of photos from the baby's birth. "Having done this a different way, there was definitely a whole different vibe to it."
When Jessica went into labor, they traveled to Sioux Falls to be evaluated by a Sanford Certified Nurse Midwife. After a couple of days of contractions that weren't quite close enough to start her labor, they finally got the go-ahead that it was time to give birth. They went to a labor and delivery room with a specially designed inflatable pool of warm water.
A calming experience
Throughout her labor, Jessica could move around, sit and kneel in the shoulder-deep pool. In photos taken during her birth, she leans over the cushioned side of the pool with a serene look on her face while her husband rubs her shoulders or holds her hands. It was amazing the way the water helped ease the pain of her contractions, she said. "The only time I got really cranky was when I got out of the pool," she says.
Research has shown that laboring and delivering babies in water has benefits for both mother and baby. The water has been found to lower blood pressure, make contractions more efficient and help women produce more pain-inhibiting endorphins.
Babies born underwater tend to have more oxygen and less stress during birth. The environment they're being born into is similar to what they experienced in the amniotic sac. Since they're still receiving oxygen through the umbilical cord, there is no need to rush them to the surface to breathe.
Seeing the miracle
When it was time to deliver Broderick, Gavin stood at his wife's head giving her support and encouragement. They had planned to have him reach into the pool to be the first to hold the new baby, but their plans changed when it was time to push, they said.
"I knew I didn't want to do this without him there with me, giving me that support," Jessica says, smiling at her husband.
Certified Nurse Midwife Brenna Tate lifted the new baby out of the water, putting him on Jessica's chest. For a few minutes, the whole world stopped for the new parents, they said.
"It so peaceful and so quiet," says Gavin. "All I remember is hearing the gentle lapping of the water and seeing this miracle happen."
Since Broderick's birth, the Winters have shared their story and photos of his waterbirth with family and friends. They're happy to help others learn a little bit more about the incredible experience they had.
"It was exactly as we planned," says Jessica. "I couldn't have asked for a better birth."

Victorious Jordanians rewarded
The Jordan football team have been rewarded US$250,000 by the Jordan Football Association for beating China and Iraq in the recent 2014 World Cup Qualifiers.
Jordan Football Association (JFA) announced on Wednesday that US$6000 will be given to each player for the 2-0 away win over former Asian Cup champions Iraq and a further US$4000 will be given for the 2-1 home victory over China.
With the two wins, Jordan are now in prime position to reach the next stage.
They are currently top of Group A with six points, ahead of Iraq and China with three points each. Jordan will next travel to play Singapore, who are bottom of the group, on October 11 before meeting them at home on November 11.
JFA president Prince Ali bin Ali Hussain, who is also FIFA vice-president, was pleased as he spoke to local media about the national football team's performance.
He said: "I am happy with the results achieved in the first two matches. It proves that Jordan football is in great condition and the national team can progress more in the qualifiers,
"The team should be cautious and not be complacent as the next two matches against Singapore are important to reach the fourth round."

In case you haven't noticed, it's been one HOT week.
Surely, this won't be the last of the summer, so here are some tips to help with your pets.
The following column was originally printed on July 22, 2011.
The Humane Society of the United States offers the following tips for keeping your pets safe and cool during the extreme heat this week:
Never leave your pets in a parked car. On a warm day, temperatures inside a vehicle can rise rapidly to dangerous levels. On an 85 degree day, for example, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees. Your pet may suffer irreversible organ damage or die. If you see an animal in distress in a parked car, contact the nearest animal shelter or police.
Shade and water are a must. Anytime your pet is outside, make sure he or she has protection from heat and sun (a doghouse does not provide relief from heat) and plenty of fresh, cool water. Heatstroke can be fatal for pets as well as people.
Limit exercise on hot days. Take care when exercising your pet. Adjust intensity and duration of exercise in accordance with the temperature. On very hot days, limit exercise to early morning or evening hours, and be especially careful with pets with white-colored ears, who are more susceptible to skin cancer, and short-nosed pets who, because of their short noses, typically have difficulty breathing. Asphalt gets very hot and can burn your pet's paws, so walk your dog on the grass if possible.
Recognize the signs of heatstroke. In case of an emergency, it's important to be able to identify the symptoms of heat stress caused by exposure to extreme temperatures. When in doubt, contact your veterinarian immediately. Some signs of heatstroke are: heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid heartbeat, restlessness, excessive thirst, lethargy, fever, dizziness, lack of coordination, profuse salivation, vomiting, a deep red or purple tongue, and unconsciousness.
If you think your pet is suffering from heatstroke, act quickly! Move the animal into the shade or an air-conditioned area. Apply ice packs or cold towels to her head, neck, and chest or run cool (not cold) water over her. Let her drink small amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes. Take her directly to a veterinarian.
Products to Keep Pets Cool
Keep your pet from overheating indoors or out with the Keep Cool Mat, body wrap, or vest. Soak in cool water and they'll stay dry but cool for up to three days. Find these, along with shade-giving and hydrating products to keep dogs safe and cool, at Humane Domain.
Freeze up some treats for your canine friends. Help your dog chill out with these quick and easy DIY popsicles, made from peanut butter or another favorite food.

Between 2006 and 2007, 38.7 million people moved in the United States: 25.2 million stayed in the same county, 7.4 million moved to a different county within the same state, 4.9 million moved to a different state and 1.2 million moved to the U.S. from abroad.
These statistics are from Geographical Mobility: 2007, a series of tables that describe the movement of people in the United States. The tables include data on why people moved, types of moves, distance moved and the characteristics of those who moved in 2007.
The Northeast had the lowest moving rate (9 percent), followed by the Midwest (13 percent), the South (14 percent) and the West (15 percent). The moving rates for the South and the West were not significantly different.
Housing-related issues - such as the desire to own a home or to live in a better neighborhood - were the most common reasons given for moving (42 percent), followed by family-related issues (30 percent), employment reasons (21 percent) and other (7 percent). For those moving to the U.S. from abroad, more people listed employment as their reason (52 percent) than any other.
Of the 12.3 million people who moved to another county, the largest group moved less than 50 miles (42 percent); 22 percent moved more than 500 miles.
The black population had the highest moving rate (17 percent) among race and ethnic groups, followed by Hispanics (16 percent), Asians (15 percent) and non-Hispanic whites (12 percent).
