DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART In the majority of cordless telephones currently available on the market, it is possible to serve more than one mobile unit from a fixed station. Often, a cordless telephone system is retrofitted by adding a further mobile unit to the already existing mobile unit or units. For this purpose, the new mobile unit must be logged on in the already existing cordless telephone system; i.e., in particular, at the fixed station. Logging on is, therefore, to be understood within the context of the present Invention to mean that a mobile unit, in particular a further mobile unit, is logged on in the sense of signing on at the fixed station. As such, once logging on has taken place, the mobile unit can transmit voice information data to the fixed station and receive it from the fixed station as well.
Problems are experienced if a so-called frequency hopping spread spectrum system is used as air interface and a mobile unit, in particular a further mobile unit, is to be integrated into such a system. A frequency hopping spread spectrum system is a system in which a number of carrier frequencies are available for transmitting data by radio and the carrier frequency used is changed from time to time, for example, after each time slot or frame of the transmission. In particular, in a time division multiplex system (TDMA), the carrier frequency can be changed after each time slot or time frame of the time division multiplex transmission. Such a frequency hopping spread spectrum system has advantages to the extent that the energy of the entire radio transmission is distributed over all the carrier frequencies and, thus, one single carrier frequency less is loaded. This is particularly important if a generally available frequency band, such as the 2.4 0 Hz 1524 (Industrial Scientific Medical) band, is used in which an upper limit for the maximum energy occurring per carrier frequency is prescribed in order to keep interference with other subscribers as low as possible.
A further advantage of the frequency hopping spread spectrum system is that the provision of a large number of carrier frequencies makes the system less susceptible to interference. Furthermore, the protection of the system against listening in by third parties is increased, since the third party does not usually know what the carrier frequency is being changed to after a certain time period.
Even if a frequency hopping spread spectrum system has the abovementioned advantages, there is still the problem of synchronizing the carrier frequencies and, in particular, of changing the carrier frequencies when logging on a new mobile unit at a fixed station. It is, in fact, a precondition of logging on that the mobile unit to be logged on is capable of communicating with the fixed station; i.e., can precisely perform the change of carrier frequency.
WO 95/06377 teaches a method and an system for transmitting data wirelessly between a mobile unit and a fixed station in time slots on a number of carrier frequencies. In this method and system, the carrier frequencies of a predetermined time period are changed in accordance with a predetermined sequence. To accomplish this, the mobile unit and the fixed station each include a device for outputting the predetermined sequence and an HF module for transmitting the data in the time slots.
An object of the present invention, therefore, is to provide a method and system for logging on a mobile unit at a fixed station a mobile unit is enabled to be logged on at a fixed station for a data transmission system, in which system data is transmitted in time slots on a number of carrier frequencies and the carrier frequency is changed from one time slot to the next.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This object is achieved according to the present invention by a method for logging on a mobile unit at a fixed station for a transmission of data by radio, in which transmission the data is transmitted in time slots on a number of carrier frequencies (TDMA system) and the carrier frequency is changed, for example, from one time slot to the next time slot in accordance with a predetermined sequence. According to the present invention, check data which indicates the position of the carrier frequency of the current (instantaneously broadcast) time slot in the predetermined sequence is broadcast by the fixed station. The mobile unit can then determine the position of the carrier frequency of the current time slot in the predetermined sequence via the check data. The mobile unit to which the entire sequence is known can then determine, on the basis of the position of the carrier frequency in the predetermined sequence, the carrier frequency which is to be changed to next. As a result, synchronization of the change of the carrier frequency of the mobile unit with that of the fixed station is achieved.
The check data can be transmitted only during a logging-on mode. After the logging-on mode has been terminated, normal transmission of, for example, voice information data between the mobile unit and the fixed station then can take place.
The carrier frequency change can be carried out via a sequence selected from a plurality of predetermined sequences. The check data then can indicate, beyond the position of the carrier frequency of the current time slot in the predetermined sequence, which of the number of predetermined sequences is selected and used. The predetermined sequences can be determined, in particular an algorithm (hop algorithm).
It is possible to sense which of the number of carrier frequencies is subject to interference. During the logging on of the mobile unit at the fixed station, a carrier frequency which is prescribed by the predetermined sequence also is used if this carrier frequency has been sensed as being subject to interference. After the logging on has been concluded, that carrier frequency of the predetermined sequence which is subject to interference is passed over during the normal transmission of data. This ensures that, during the logging-on mode, the carrier frequency change prescribed by the predetermined sequence is strictly carried out in order to ensure that the frequency of the mobile unit is synchronized with that of the fixed station in the sense of logging on. In particular, the so-called 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band can be used for transmission. Also, the number of available carrier frequencies can be at least 75 and, in particular, 96.
In addition, according to the present invention a system for wire-free transmission of data between a mobile unit and a fixed station is provided. The fixed station here has an RF module for transmitting the data in time slots on a number of carrier frequencies in the sense of a time division multiplex system. A device stores a predetermined sequence in order to define a change of the carrier frequency, for example from one time slot to the next, and outputs this predetermined sequence to the RF module. The data broadcast by the fixed station have check data which indicates the position of the carrier frequency of the current time slot in the predetermined sequence. The mobile unit has a device for determining the position of the carrier frequency of the current time slot in the predetermined sequence via the check data. In an alternative embodiment, the check signal also can specify the carrier frequency which the base station will �jump to� next.
In yet a further embodiment, the check data can specify which carrier frequency the base station will use in the m-th time slot or m-th frame. This is advantageous if a mobile unit is in the so-called idle-locked or multiframe mode. In such a mode, a mobile unit resynchronizes with the base station only in every m-th time slot or frame if the mobile unit is not in the process of active voice communication with the base station.
The check data does not have to be broadcast in every time slot or frame. If a mobile unit which would like to synchronize with a base station receives a time slot or frame which does not contain check data, it scans all the carrier frequencies again. This procedure is repeated until the mobile unit receives from the base station a time slot or frame which contains the check data.
The fixed station can have a switching device for switching over between a logging-on mode, in which a mobile unit, or a further mobile unit, can be logged on at the fixed station, and a normal transmission mode for normal transmission of information data. The check data is broadcast automatically only if the switching device is switched to the logging-on mode. In the normal transmission mode, the check data is not broadcast, or is only broadcast on request.
A number of predetermined sequences can be provided in the output device. The check data then has data which goes beyond the position data and which indicates the sequence currently in use. In addition, the output device can have a processor which calculates the predetermined sequence via an algorithm.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS With reference to FIG. 1, the general design of the system according to the present invention for radio transmission will be explained first. As is generally known, a system for the transmission of data by radio has a fixed station 1 and a plurality of mobile units (mobile stations, cable-free telephones) 2, 3, 11. The fixed station 1 is connected to the landline network with a terminal line 10. The fixed station 1 has an antenna 6 via which it is possible to communicate, for example, with the mobile unit 2 via a radio transmission path 8 or with the mobile unit 3 via a radio transmission path 9. The mobile units 2, 3, 11 each have an antenna 7 for receiving and transmitting data.
The internal design of a fixed station 1, insofar as it is of significance for the present invention, will now be explained in more detail. A processor 15 which determines a predetermined sequence via a predetermined algorithm (hop algorithm) is provided in the fixed station 1. As an alternative, a number of different algorithms may be provided in the processor 15 so that it can determine different sequences in accordance with the respectively used algorithm. The sequences determined by the processor 15 are then transmitted to a storage and output device 13. The storage and output device 13 transmits to an RF module 4 either the sequence which is continuously determined by the processor 15 or a sequence which has been previously permanently stored in it.
The RF module 4 receives and transmits data on a carrier frequency fx which depends on the current value of the sequence transmitted from the storage and output device 13. Therefore, a radio transmission takes place on a carrier frequency fx wherein the currently used carrier frequency either is determined indirectly by the processor 15 via an algorithm or, alternatively, is determined directly from the value of a sequence which has been permanently stored in the storage and output device 13.
The internal design of a mobile radio unit, insofar as it is relevant to the present invention, will now be described in more detail. In this respect, the design of a mobile radio unit 2, 3, 11 is substantially symmetrical to the internal design of the fixed station 1 described above. That is, each mobile radio unit 2, 3, 11 has, as illustrated in the present invention only for the mobile radio units 2 and 11, a processor 16. This processor 16 determines, via either one or a number of available hop algorithms, a sequence which it transmits to a storage and output device 12. The storage and output device 12 transmits to an RF module 5 either the values of the sequence based on the algorithm which are determined continuously by the processor 16 or, alternatively, the values of a sequence which has been permanently stored in it. The RF module 5 transmits or receives data on a carrier frequency fx whose level depends on the value of the sequence transmitted to it by the storage and output device 12. A mobile unit 2, 3, 11 therefore receives or transmits data on a carrier frequency fx whose level depends either on the current value of the sequence determined by the processor 16 or on the value of a sequence which has been permanently stored in the storage and output device 12.
It is to be noted here that the processor 15 in the fixed station 1 and the processors 16 in the mobile units 2, 3, 11 are based on the same algorithm for determining sequences or, in the event that a number of algorithms are available, have the same selection of algorithms. In the event that the sequence is not determined continuously by the processor 15, 16 but rather permanently prescribed in the storage and output devices 12, 13, the sequence which is stored in the storage and output device 13 of the fixed station 1 is, of course, identical to the sequences which are respectively stored in the storage and output devices 12 of the mobile units 2, 3, 11.
A transmission standard such as is used in the present invention will now be explained with reference to FIG. 2. As is clear in FIG. 2, data is transmitted in chronological succession in a number of time slots (24 time slots Zx in the case illustrated), using the time division multiplex method TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) on a number of carrier frequencies fx (of which ten are illustrated). In FIG. 2, duplex mode is used on the carrier frequencies. This means that after the base station has transmitted the first twelve time slots Zx, it switches to reception and it receives the second twelve time slots (13�24) in the opposing direction.
In the event that the so-called DECT Standard is used for transmission, the chronological duration of a time frame is 10 milliseconds, and 24 time slots Zx are provided, namely twelve time slots for the transmission from the fixed station to mobile units and a further twelve time slots Zx for the transmission from the mobile units to the fixed station. In the DECT Standard, 10 carrier frequencies fx between 1.88 GHz and 1.90 GHz are provided.
However, the present invention also is used for transmission in the so-called 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) frequency band. The ISM frequency band has a bandwidth of 83.5 MHz. In accordance with the specification �FCC Part 15� (Federal Communications Commission), at least 75 carrier frequencies must be distributed over these 83.5 MHz. Distributing the 83.5 MHz bandwidth over 96 carrier frequencies, i.e. a channel spacing of 864 kHz, is particularly advantageous.
The abovementioned frequency bands and standards are mentioned purely by way of example. The only fundamental precondition for the present invention is that a so-called frequency hopping spread spectrum is used; i.e., a number of carrier frequencies are available and the carrier frequency fx selected for the transmission is changed from time to time. A precondition of such a change is that the data be transmitted in time slots Zx (time division multiplex method). The so-called DECT Standard as well as any other modified standard based on this DECT Standard, is therefore suitable. A modification can, in this respect, include a reduction (halving) in the number of time slots per frame, as a result of which the bit rate and, consequently, the necessary basic bandwidth of the transmission can be reduced (halved).
How the selection of a carrier frequency fx for a specific time slot Zx is carried out will now be explained with reference to FIG. 4. It will be assumed that, at the time of the time slot Z1, the processor 15 of the fixed station 1 determines, on the basis of an algorithm, a value which the RF module 4 of the fixed station 1 converts indirectly into a carrier frequency f1. In FIG. 4, the hatching shows that the carrier frequency f1 is selected at the time of the time slot Z1. At the transition from the time slot Z1 to the following time slot Z2, the carrier frequency fx is inevitably changed. As is illustrated by an arrow in FIG. 4, it is possible, for example, for the processor 15 of the fixed station 1 to determine via its algorithm a value which is converted by the RF module 4 into a carrier frequency f3. In the same way, a carrier frequency f2 then can be selected for the time slot Z3, which is illustrated by hatching and by an arrow.
In the example above, the case was explained in which the carrier frequency is changed after a time slot in each case. However, for the present invention it is only significant that the change of the carrier frequency takes place in each case after a predetermined time period. This also may be, for example, a frame.
The fixed station 1, therefore, changes the carrier frequency fx from the carrier frequency f1 to the carrier frequency f3 and then to the carrier frequency f2 on the basis of the sequence determined by the processor 15. If communication is to take place between the fixed station 1 and a mobile unit 11, it is necessary to ensure that the mobile unit 11 can follow synchronously the sequence of carrier frequency fx changes carried out by the fixed station 1. This is a particular problem when a mobile unit 11 first is to be integrated into a radio transmission system; i.e., has to be logged on and signed on at the fixed station 1. During unsynchronized operation of the new mobile unit 11 after it has been switched on, the mobile unit 11 will change the carrier frequencies fx used in the way prescribed by its sequence. The sequence as such is identical here with the sequence 1, which is prescribed in the fixed station 1 and explained above. However, this does not ensure that the sequence of the mobile unit 11 is synchronized with the sequence of the fixed station 1 after the mobile unit 11 has been switched on.
FIG. 3 illustrates how it is ensured according to the present invention that the new mobile unit 11 carries out carrier frequency changes which are synchronous with the fixed station 1. As is clear in FIG. 3, the data transmitted in a time slot (channel) Zx is, for the most part, information data; i.e., for example, data which represents an item of voice information of a telephone call. Before the range of the information data there is then a check range which is referred to as A field in the DECT Standard. In this check range, data is provided for synchronizing the operation of a mobile unit 11 to be logged on with the operation of the fixed station 1. If a number of algorithms are available to the processor 15 in the fixed station 1 for determining the sequence which directly prescribes the changes of the carrier frequency fx of the fixed station 1, the check range contains data which identifies the algorithm currently in use. Further synchronization data contained in the check range is data which indicates which position in the predetermined sequence corresponds to the carrier frequency fx used for the current time slot Zx. The data of the check range which is illustrated in FIG. 3, namely data which refers to the algorithm used and which refers to the current position of the sequence of the current algorithm, is broadcast by the fixed station 1 to the mobile unit 11. As an alternative, the check signal also can specify the carrier frequency which the base station will �jump to� next.
As a further alternative, the check data can specify which carrier frequency the base station will use in the m-th time slot or m-th frame. This is advantageous if a mobile unit is in the so-called idle-locked or multiframe mode. In such a mode, a mobile unit resynchronizes with the base station only in every m-th time slot or frame if said mobile unit is not in the process of active voice communication with the base station.
The check data does not have to be broadcast in every time slot or frame. If a mobile unit which would like to synchronize with a base station receives a time slot or frame which does not contain check data, it scans all the carrier frequencies again. This procedure is then repeated until the mobile unit receives from the base station a time slot or frame which contains the check data.
After it has been switched on, the mobile unit 11 scans the available range of carrier frequencies fx until it senses the carrier frequency fx currently being used by the fixed station 1. During this sensing of the carrier frequency fx currently in use, the mobile unit 11 also senses the data of the check range of the data broadcast by the fixed station 1. At first, the mobile unit 11 can determine which algorithm is currently being used by the processor 15 in the fixed station 1. This algorithm, of course, indirectly prescribes the charging of the carrier frequencies of the fixed station 1.
In addition, the mobile unit 11 can sense, from the position data of the check range, which position in the predetermined frequency corresponds to the broadcast carrier frequency. The mobile unit 11 then is, therefore, aware of the algorithm in use and of the position in the sequence. The mobile unit 11 can then determine independently via the position in the sequence, which is known here, as well as the sequence stored in it, which carrier frequency fx will be used by the fixed station 1 in the following time slot Zx. From the information fed to it, the mobile unit 11 can generate information for the carrier frequencies to be used in the following time slots Zx. Thus, it is possible to communicate with the fixed station 1 as is necessary for a signing-on or logging-on procedure. As a result of the information supplied relating to the future carrier frequency change, the mobile unit 11, is therefore, synchronized with the fixed station 1.
The fixed station 1 can have a switching device 14 which can be switched between two positions; namely, a position in the logging-on mode R and a position corresponding to the normal transmission mode. Only if the switching device 14 is switched to logging-on mode R does the fixed station 1 automatically broadcast the check range data necessary for synchronization with a mobile unit to be newly logged on. This data is namely, the information relating to the algorithm in use and the information relating to the position in the predetermined frequency on the basis of the algorithm. If the switching device 14 is switched to the normal transmission mode N, the aforesaid synchronization data are normally not broadcast; that is, only broadcast on request from a mobile unit.
A problem when logging on a further mobile unit 11 can result from a so-called noise source fall-back mode. First, it will be explained what action the fixed station 1 takes in accordance with this noise source fall-back mode with regard to the carrier frequency selection. With reference to FIG. 4, it is clear that at the time of the time slot Z3 the carrier frequency f2 is indicated by the predetermined frequency. It now will be assumed that the predetermined sequence for the time of the time slot Z4 indicates a change to the carrier frequency f4. In addition, it will be assumed that, for example in the preceding time frame of the transmission, the fixed station 1 has determined that interference occurred during a transmission on the carrier frequency f4. This interference may result, for example, from the fact that another radio transmission system is adversely affecting this carrier frequency f4. If the fixed station 1 is in the so-called noise source fall-back mode, when selecting the carrier frequency fx for the time slot Z4 it will not select the carrier frequency f4 which is, of course, actually prescribed by the predetermined frequency. The carrier frequency f4 which is sensed as being subject to interference is instead passed over and another carrier frequency fx, for example the carrier frequency fx which follows in the predetermined frequency, is selected for the time slot Z4 (as illustrated by the arrow P1). In the case illustrated in FIG. 4, the carrier frequency selected for the time slot Z4 is not, therefore, the carrier frequency f4 which is sensed as being subject to interference but is instead the carrier frequency f1 which is sensed as being free of interference.
Even if this noise source fall-back mode has, great advantages during the radio transmission mode with mobile units 2, 3 which already have been integrated, it is clear that this noise source fall-back mode simultaneously causes large problems for the logging on of a new mobile unit 11. The mobile unit 11 will, in fact, determine, on the basis of the algorithm stored in it and the position of the carrier frequency which is known to it from the check range of the data transmitted from the fixed station, in the predetermined sequence in accordance with the algorithm at the time of the time slot Z3, that a transmission on the carrier frequency f4 will take place starting from the next value of the sequence at the time of the time slot Z4. However, if, owing to the noise source fall-back mode, the fixed station 1 selects the carrier frequency f1 at the time of the time slot Z4 in order to avoid the carrier frequency f4 which is subject to interference, and at the same time the mobile unit 11 to be logged on selects, on the basis of the information available to it, the carrier frequency f4 at the time of the time slot Z4, synchronization of the operation of the fixed station 1 with that of the mobile unit 11 fails. If, for this reason, the logging-on mode R is selected by the switching device 14 in the fixed station 1, the noise source fall-back mode of the fixed station 1 is simultaneously switched off. This means that, in contrast with the normal mode in which the fixed station 1 will, in order to avoid the carrier frequency f4 which has been recognized as being subject to interference, switch, in a position of the switching device 14 in logging-on mode R, to the carrier frequency f4 at the time of the time slot Z4 as is prescribed by the sequence on the basis of the algorithm of the processor 15. This is so even though the fixed station 1 is aware that the carrier frequency f4 is subject to interference. The change of the carrier frequency fx from time slot Z3 to time slot Z4 is illustrated in FIG. 4 by the unbroken arrow P2. As a result of the fact that the noise source fall-back mode of the fixed station 1 is simultaneously switched off when the switching device 14 is positioned in logging-on mode R, it is therefore ensured that a synchronization of the operation of the mobile unit 11 with that of the fixed station 1 can take place. After the signing-on procedure or logging on of the mobile unit 11 at the fixed station 1 has been completed, the switching device 14 is then switched back from the logging-on mode R to the normal transmission mode N, which can take place in an automated way, and the noise source fall-back mode can be switched on again automatically.
However, the noise source fall-back mode also can remain switched on during the signing-on procedure. In this context, it is to be noted that, in accordance with the exemplary embodiment, 96 carrier frequencies are provided, of which a maximum of 21 can be locked out in order to avoid impinging upon the US-American Specification �FCC part 15�. Therefore, the mobile unit knows the majority of carrier frequencies used, even in the noise source fall-back mode. Thus, if communication does not come about between the mobile unit and the fixed station in a frame owing to a frequency lock-out which is not known to the mobile unit, in all probability it will be possible to resume communication in the next frame with a new carrier frequency.
Therefore, according to the present invention, a method and a device for ensuring synchronism during the initial logging on of a new mobile unit at a fixed station is provided with a so-called frequency hopping spread spectrum system on a time division multiplex basis.

The story begins with a young lady why owns and runs an Exotic Animal Sanctuary. She is desperately in need of more land to expand and give her beloved animals the room they require for their best health. She runs a program to attempt to breed endangered species and either return them to the wild or exchange with other like minded sanctuaries. A chance encounter leads to her dreams being fulfilled.
Coral grew up outside a small country town in Victoria, Australia. She has always enjoyed writing stories, essays and poems for her own enjoyment. This is her debut published novel. Thank you to all those encouraging me and gave me the courage to submit this story as a book. Thanks in particular to Cora Pal who put me on the right track. I now live in a nursing home and take pleasure in my three wonderful children and nine grandchildren.

"Warning".... The reason for the this review, is to inform any potential travelers to the Legacy Towers in Gulfport, MS., to be aware of a damage charge a week following their checkout. My wife and I stayed at Legacy Tower 1, Rm # 303, while visiting our son who is stationed at Keesler Air Force Base. The condo was very clean, decorated appropriately to the modern time and had all the amenities needed for our stay. When we exited the condo, we made sure everything was in it's original place, nothing had been damaged, dishes were washed, beds made, floors cleaned, trash taken out, etc., just as things were when we entered the condo. I week following our stay, I received an e-mail charging our credit card an additional $50.00. Puzzled by this, I opened up the Rental Policies and Procedures to explore where these charges could have stemmed from. One, a cancellation fee, didn't cancel. Another, the remote control's had to be in the exact place as they were when we arrived, made sure we did that. Another, the furniture had to be in its original position, made sure we did this too. Nothing else had a $50.00 fee attached. After several attempts of calling three different numbers listed on my conformation form, I finally got through to someone. What I was told initially, was that most of the time this charge is for a stain on the comforter, as it has to be washed. I told the lady, I could assure anyone, even the pope, there was no stain on the comforter. She asked to put me on hold so she could look into this. Fifteen minutes later, she tells me the charge is for pink fingernail polish on the floor tiles in the kitchen and a broken piece of furniture. I tried to explain to her that my wife doesn't wear finger nail polish, let alone did she have any with her. I also wanted to know which piece of furniture had allegedly been broken,but she couldn't tell me. You would think after being charged a $95.00 cleaning fee, $35.00 damage waiver and $15.00 Legacy Towers Resort Fee, you wouldn't have to worry about another $50.00 fee a week after checkout, especially for something you know for certain didn't happen. A valuable piece of information to any future travelers to the Legacy Towers. Have someone come with you to the condo at check in and document in writing, exactly what things look like and do the same at check out. Not having this, allows them to cheat at your expense. I can sleep at night, but hope the individual assigned to do this dirty deed for this company, tosses and turns.

Our 3 families planned a last minute summer vacation and the moms came together Saturday prior to our arrival date and located a condo. We liked that they had 2 - 3bd/3bth available in our price range. We received an email with pictures and choose the condo with 1king/2qu/2tw/1sleeper because of all the teenagers we had traveling with us, I confirmed that we wanted to rent the condo with specific beds types. We received the contract and it was for the other condo which had 2kings/2full/1sleeper, we tried to contact Legacy before our arrival and no one returned emails or phone calls. When we arrived at Legacy Tower we were given the keys to our condo and when we told them we booked the condo with more beds they said it had already been rented. "Bait & Switch" Frustrated we settled into our condo and wrote down everything that was wrong in fear of being charged for something we didn't break. We asked for an air mattress and one was given at no charge. Management also apologized and said they were obligated to provide sleeping for 10 and that's what they had provided. The pool area, workout facility and distance to the beach were great. This was a wonderful vacation with the exception of being given the wrong condo. I would stay down the street before dealing with the management team again.

First, let us say the 3-bedroom condo we stayed in was very nice, comfortable, and suited our needs. Our experience with the condo, location, etc. was very good. What we were extremely upset about was the supposed 24-hour maintenance service. When we arrived we had little time to get ready for an evening engagement. Immediately one of the tubs was noted as stopped-up so we called maintenance. We were told they would send someone the next day. That was unacceptable and we wound up clearing the driain with a knife and bottle opener. In addition we reported a container with soiled water and cigarette butts on the balcony and an apparent water leak by one of the registers. Even after fixing the drain and calling back we never saw a maintenance person the entire four nights we were there. In fact, the cigarette butts and their container were still on the balcony when we departed. There were other maintenance problems noted like a non-functioning lock plate on the sliding balcony door, old tape stuck to a counter, a dirty coffee pot, etc. We never turned them in after the lack of response to our initial complaints. When one pays $125 for cleanup and maintenance you would expect service.

I stayed in a three bedroom unit that was extremely nice. The condo itself was just as nice as any place that I have stayed in Destin or Orange Beach. However, the beach leaves quite a bit to be desired. The sand is nice, but the water is not at all. The pool was very pretty and enjoyable. If you are looking for a beach vacation, then I wouldn't recommend this location. If you're looking for a weekend getaway where you can enjoy local casinos (very close) and great seafood then this is a great choice.The only negative I found with the property itself was parking. The parking lots are very very small and the parking garage was next to tower 1, so if you are staying in tower 2 then it's a little bit of a walk.I personally never came into contact with any of the staff, so I can't vouch for the professionalism or friendliness.

We have been here less than 24 hours and have had a $25,000.00 dollar loss! My husbands Harley Davidson Ultra Classic was parked in the covered, lighted parking garage here with all the latest state of the art security systems on it and working properly was stolen last night! The rental agency that booked our vacation says to talk to the HOA and the HOA that told us it was ok to park in their garage says to talk to the Rental agency!!! No body wants to take any responsibility for it and of course no one saw anything!!! This place is supposed to have a guard and security cameras!!! What they dont tell you is the guard goes home at 11pm and there is one camera that watches the front door and none that watch the only way in and out!!! This is perhaps the most costly mistake we have ever made! I would not recommend this place to anyone.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom condo. The condo itself was very nice and spacious. The decorating left something to be desired. The customer service was horrible. Our room had an air conditioner that was not working for 3 days. The air conditioner was serviced on the third day. Also, our keys did not work in the door. The locksmith did not arrive until the fourth day. I spent most of our vacation sitting in our condo waiting on workers. Not a pleasant experience. Also, the security guard was rude to my 3 year old because his armband had fallen off. He is three and the armband was made for an adult. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The impact caused two sides of the building to collapse before the first floor gave way and crashed to the ground.
Amazingly no one died in the carnage and the four people in the shop and the driver of the car survived with only minor injuries.
The dramatic scene after a driver ploughed into a newsagents in Manchester. The impact caused two sides of the building to collapse before the first floor gave way
Last night they were counting their blessings that they escaped with their lives after the horrendous smash.
He said: "It's amazing nobody died. I came with my dog to get my newspaper as usual.
"I was talking to Gary when I heard what I thought was a bomb going off.
"I didn't see a car coming into the shop. There was a big, massive bang and everything collapsed in front of me. I was lucky not to cop for it really."
He and shop worker Mr Wood were unhurt in the accident in Timperley, near Altrincham, Greater Manchester.
"Gary and I realised we couldn't get any further and there was a chance of a ceiling coming in on top of us.
"In the end we had to get out through the back door."
Mr Ascott said: "I'm just glad we are all alive. It could have been much worse. The shop is normally packed at that time of day.
"There are usually kids hanging around. It's unbelievable nobody else was hurt.
A police spokesman said officers were examining what caused the car to leave the road and demolish the building.

Excellent Amateur Theatre - Review of The Little Theatre, Leicester, England - TripAdvisor
Excellent Amateur Theatre - The Little Theatre
Ranked #23 of 115 things to do in Leicester
Regular performances of Plays and a Christmas Pantomime presented by excellent amateurs. The performance levels are easily as good as the Professional Theatres in the area, and well worth a try if you are staying in the city.
Also put on some professional performances (an evening with for example), and are involved with the Leicester Comedy shows.
Give it a try, and you will come back!!
ps Try the bar for drinks before the performance and at the interval. Excellent Ice Creams as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect by Rachel Joyce, 19 Jan. 2015
5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book, 4 April 2014
This review is from: The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson (Paperback)
I enjoyed the style of writing. The decriptions of characters and places are excellent. I also loved Mark Twain's humour, especially the chapter headings though he addresses serious issues in the book, especially slavery. The story takes many twists and turns until the court scene at the end brings justice, although we are left to wonder how the "real" Tom is going to cope with his new life.
