The Strong Friendship
Friendship is love,
Without friendship love means nothing!
Without friendship love is empty…
Without friendship love is boring...!
Friendship means sharing…
People learn to share from friendship,
Share everything they have in life,
Friendship is like stars,
Even though we always see them together
Always mean to each other…
Sometimes they argue!
Friendship is like flower,
Soft but strong!
Friendship is like sun,
Bright and beautiful!

text: I bought 2 wifi devices for my vacation in Austria and France. The device was very simple to set up, easy to use, and convenient to have during my travels. It's small and compact so it was easy to carry with me all day in a small bag. This product saved my life and I cannot imagine if I had to travel internationally without it!

Since it came out at the start of the summer, Odelay has sold three-quarters of a million copies in America alone. This figure may not make Beck humanity's answer to Alanis Morissette, but it is still remarkable for a record of such unabashed sophistication. Hitching the enhanced corporate outreach capability of the post-Nirvana generation to the unfettered creativity of the days when alternative music really was alternative, Beck Hansen seems to have achieved the ultimate goal of all sentient beings: not just having his cake, but eating it too. (His contract with Geffen allows him to release records for other companies as and when he feels like it - an unthinkable luxury in any other times but these.)
At the back end of the summer-festival trail, Beck sits in his tour bus. The location could be anywhere in the MTV- speaking world. On the other side of the corrugated-iron boundary, paying hedonists wallow gleefully in their own detritus. Here in the artists' sanctuary, the air-conditioning is heavenly. And that's not the end of the celestial connection. The man across the table, conversing in a courtly bohemian drawl, has the sort of angelic good looks one might expect from a secret love-child of Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Lady Diana Spencer.
Beck's actual ancestry (he is the son of Warhol acolyte and LA punk-scene godmother Bibbe Hansen) is almost as colourful, but it is the less-oft- remarked-upon Kansas-presbyterian-preacher-grandad aspect of his upbringing that seems to have shaped his attitude to music. Compared to the folk and blues which first inspired him to pick up an acoustic guitar, music that uses computer and sampling technology is, Beck insists, "not all that substantial". But isn't music music, no matter how it's made? "It's the difference between a Styrofoam cup and an old porcelain crafted thing - they both perform the same function, but in terms of richness, there's no comparison."
If it seems strange that a young man whose music surfs the floodtide of modernity with such blissful ease should vouchsafe such a conservative opinion, that's because it is. Surely today's Styrofoam receptacle is the antique china of tomorrow: isn't it always the music that is most easily written off by contemporaries - Phil Spector, punk, Abba, Black Sabbath - that proves most enduring in the end? "Exactly. I'm sure when John Lee Hooker came out he was regarded as disposable, but now he's like the earth - something you'd plant seeds and grow things really deep in. That's why I'd never fool myself into romanticising the music I love: making it clean and nostalgic would seem very vulgar."
In mid-1980s New York, when a teenage Beck fell upon the music of Blind Blake and Woody Guthrie as a hungry sheepdog might fall upon a discarded pancake roll, folk was a four-letter word. "I remember just being so immersed in it and so passionate about it," he says, "and everyone around me not having the slightest interest." Oddly enough, it was the cacophonous iconoclasm of New York noise band Pussy Galore that convinced him that "purism was a dead end", and there was more to continuing the tradition of country pioneers the Carter Family than learning to play note-perfect approximations of Maybelle's guitar solos.
"I guess every few years some band comes along and connects to the primal violent energy that is the essence of rock," Beck observes solemnly. The musical style he pioneered on 1994's Mellow Gold and refined with Odelay (which he still considers "really crude") is an intoxicating hybrid of ancient and modern - lazy drum and slide-guitar loops, harmonica flourishes, whistling - frenzy and languor. He now finds himself the unelected figurehead of a loose coalition of principled mavericks - Ben Harper leads the blues division, Vic Chesnutt and Will Oldham boss the country/folk paddock, the Fugees rule the rap school - currently showing American music the way out of the grunge and gangsta malaise.
This makes it doubly ironic that those who failed to see the sarcasm in his hilarious 1994 breakthrough anthem "Loser" (written two years before Nirvana's Nevermind came out, but not released till two years afterwards) should persist in crowning Beck "King of the Slackers". He rolls his eyes. "Someone asked me the other day what it felt like to be a part of the grunge world and I was like 'Wow, I didn't know ... [with withering irony] Maybe in 1996 I'm really gonna go with this grunge thing - I think it has a big future.' "
Like Bob Dylan - with whom the unfettered free associations of his lyrics have earned frequent comparison - Beck is both of his time and out of it, mixing millennial modernity with a fearless rejection of current orthodoxy. Like Elvis Presley and Little Jimmy Osmond, Beck is a contradiction on legs: both the gracious recent recipient of the cultural imperialist's legion of honour - an MTV video award - and the author of the immortal line "MTV makes me want to smoke crack".
"That's why people like Leadbelly and Elizabeth Cotton are so important," he insists, "because their voices speak so directly to us of all the things we've lost with the advent of mass media and global communication. It used to be you'd go to different parts of the world and things would be developing in their own rich traditions. Now it's all melding together and kind of homogenising, but at the same time completely splintered."
But doesn't Beck's God-given knack for splicing genres in the studio make him Mr Meld and Splinter? Beck looks pained. "I guess so, but I don't do it for the sake of doing it. A lot of people embrace technology in order to dismantle everything. There's something disturbing about that to me - that's why I was attracted to folk music in the first place, because technology scared me. Now I've embraced it, it feels sort of powerless."
! Beck's new single, 'Devil's Haircut' (Geffen), is out next month. He will tour later in the year.

Washington health exchange still needs 171 code fixes
Fri., Aug. 15, 2014
SEATTLE – Officials at Washington's health exchange said Thursday they're making progress on fixing the computer problems that have kept thousands of people from using their new health insurance.
At a meeting of the Health Benefit Exchange Board, the agency's associate operations director reported that nearly 7,700 people have had their payment issues resolved. Bob Finnegan did not know how many accounts they represent.
The exchange has reported billing problems with about 6,000 accounts. Most of those accounts include multiple members of one family.
Finnegan said the problems have been fixed through a combination of things. Some were resolved by going account-by-account and manually correcting entries. Others were corrected through software fixes.
Another 171 code fixes are scheduled to be made within the next few weeks.
For the past seven months, the health exchange has been trying to solve billing problems caused by a combination of software issues and human error.
Some people aren't being properly credited by the exchange for their insurance payments. In some cases, money and information have been lost somewhere between the exchange and the insurance companies. And some people have been told by their doctors that the insurance company has no record of their coverage.
Last week, state officials agreed to allow some people to work around the problems by paying their insurance companies directly. In order to do that, however, they need to call the exchange first and report their problem.
Exchange CEO Richard Onizuka has promised to make significant progress in fixing all the problems by the end of August.
Finnegan said on Thursday he would consider their efforts successful if they are able to make all the software coding fixes.

New York Methodist Hospital, Brooklyn, NY
INTRODUCTION: Esophageal cancer is one of the least studied and sixth most common cause of cancer death. Most patients present with advanced disease which has a poor prognosis and a 5-year survival rate ranging from < 10% - 14%. In addition to a limited life expectancy, patients may develop many potentially incapacitating complications such as malignant dysphagia, airway stenosis, esophagotracheal fistulation or other impediments related to therapeutic or palliative interventions.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 61 year old female presented to the Emergency Department with one week of worsening dyspnea. She reported a cough of similar duration but denied fever, chills or night sweats. She had a past history of advanced esophageal cancer with placement of a coated, expandable metallic esophageal stent six months prior for dysphagia related to esophageal obstruction. Initial laboratory data showed mild leucocytosis, while the admission chest x-ray showed a small left pleural effusion. The patient became unresponsive 6 hours after admission and was subsequently intubated. Her clinical status did initially improve however she had a prolonged hospital course that was complicated by the development of pulmonary embolism and atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. On day 29 of her hospital course, she developed worsening respiratory distress and the ensuing chest x-ray showed complete opacification of the left hemithorax. The patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit and a bronchoscopy was performed which revealed fistulation of the esophageal stent at the level of the left main bronchus superorly into the lumen of the trachea. No intervention could be performed at that time so the procedure was terminated. A subsequent CT chest performed revealed complete collapse of the left lung with worsening airspace disease of the right lung. Due to the patient's grave prognosis, the family opted for comfort care. The patient subsequently expired the following day.
DISCUSSIONS: The majority of patients with esophageal cancer present with dysphagia (74%), odynophagia (17%) and weight loss (57%). Less common presentations which may indicate extensive and unresectable disease include dyspnea, cough, hoarseness and retrosternal, back or right upper abdominal pain. Less than 50% of patients are candidates for surgical resection. For the greater majority of patients, palliation is the treatment of choice. The placement of an esophageal stent is a common palliative modality used in the treatment of dysphagia resulting from esophageal tumor obstruction, particularly in patients with advanced disease and poor functional status, unable to tolerate chemotherapy or radiation therapy, or in whom prior therapeutic interventions failed. Over 90% of patients with dysphagia experience relief after receiving expandable metal stents. Nevertheless, placement of esophageal stents have inherent risks: a) intra-procedural complications comprise those related to conscious sedation, aspiration, stent malposition and esophageal perforation; b) immediate complications include chest pain, bleeding, foreign body sensation, perforation and tracheal compression leading to airway compromise; c) late complications such as in our patient can occur up to 2 years post-insertion and consist of stent migration, esophagotracheal fistulation, pneumomediatinum, bleeding, overgrowth of granulation tissue or tumor, gastroesophageal reflux, aspiration pneumonitis and stent occlusion. It is important to note that placement of these stents decrease the rate of early but not late complications; the latter being higher in patients previously treated with chemotherapy, radiation or both.
CONCLUSION: Expandable metallic stents are effective for the palliation of malignant esophageal obstruction. However, they are associated with a number of late and frequently life-threatening complications. These complications may not be completely unavoidable, nevertheless, early recognition is vital to effectively managing these patients with such a limited life expectancy.

Oy Yeah!
There's something about the cover art of Klezwood's Oy Yeah! that speaks volumes about the music. Most jazz albums have a dark image on the front of one person playing a piano or saxophone, and they're almost never inviting. But here we have a circus-like group parading with instruments, and on the inside cover, a ferris wheel.

No one expects a 650-horsepower supercar to be cheap. With the announcement of the 2015 Corvette Z06 pricing, General Motors (NYSE:GM) is actually lowballing another dream car in its segment. At $78,995 for the coupe and $83,995 for the convertible, the new Z06 is less expensive than the discontinued ZR1, though it delivers more power. Chevy's new super 'Vette also out-muscles the Dodge (FIATY.PK) Viper at a lower base price.
With the pricing of the Z06, GM delivered on several big promises it made during the development process. The C7 Corvette's chief engineer told Autoblog back in January that any C6 ZR1 consumer (MSRP: $111,600 before destination charge) would be able to afford a C7 Zo6 ($78,995 after destination charge). Chevy also promised more thunder than the 625 horsepower and 635 lb-ft of torque the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 was estimated to produce. With a confirmed 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque in the 2015 Corvette Z06, that was another pleasant surprise.
In the end, GM produced its most powerful production car ever. Company officials were predictably enthusiastic in a statement about the Z06 pricing.
"The 2015 Corvette Z06's performance and technical capabilities place it in the elite fraternity of supercars," said Harlan Charles, the marketing manager for Corvette. Charles added the Z06 was "one of the most track-capable cars you can buy off the dealership floor and still drive it to work every day."
Z06 buyers who want to push the Z06 can opt for the Z07 Performance Package ($7,995) that brings in Brembo carbon ceramic-matrix brake rotors and other upgrades for aerodynamics. While the convertible ($83,995 after destination charges) with the Z07 package will head north of $90K, it still comes in lower than the Viper.

I Know What A Heartbreak Is - Poem by Samah Khan
I know what a heartbreak is;
It is not the actual destruction of a heart,
But the loss of something that constitutes the beat;
The rhythym is perturbed, the mind is shaken,
The soul is removed from being;
I know what a heartbreak is
for i too lost something that was special to me,
it's import made me mad with wanting
and desire, left unquenched, is but a heartbreak within itself
I know what it is to lose, to miss, to wither away into a void
when there is nothing left to live for
That is a heartbreak: where the heart still holds on feebly
to whatever science will keep it alive
but the eyes grow blank and the tears become null
all that's left is to lie awake and think about darkness
and that is a heartbreak.

HONG KONG (AFP) – Oil prices climbed Friday, recovering slightly from a sell-off caused by news that US stockpiles had reached record highs, adding to worries about a global supply glut.
US benchmark West Texas Intermediate for April, a new contract, gained 35 cents to $52.18 while Brent added 33 cents to $60.54.
Traders sold off the black gold Wednesday on forecasts of a huge jump in inventories. And they extended the losses Thursday after the Energy Information Administration (EIA) announced a surge of almost eight million barrels to levels not seen since weekly books were started in 1982.
But Tony Nunan, risk manager at Japanese trading house Mitsubishi Corp, said despite inventories being at their highest level on record, and the increase being above anything analysts had expected, "the gain was a lot smaller than the number announced Wednesday by the American Petroleum Institute in its weekly report.
"Traders are watching when the gap between oil production and (demand) will narrow."
Crude prices lost about 60 per cent of their value to about $40 between June and late January owing to an oversupply in world markets, a weak global economy and a strong dollar.

Apply to host an intern
Apply to host an intern
Inclusion Scotland will support 30 internships across the public and third sectors in 2016-2017. We have been granted funding by the Scottish Government to pay the salaries and national insurance for these placements. This means that organisations can host an intern for the equivalent of 3 months full time (455 hours) with very minimal costs while paying them the Living Wage of £8.45 per hour. Roles may be created depending on employer requirements, so long as the work is sufficiently challenging for an intern to carry out.
These internships match skilled interns with organisations where they can really make a difference and be paid for doing so. This experience is invaluable to helping interns push their career in the right direction. The arrangement is mutually beneficial as the employer will benefit from an extra member of staff to carry out a piece of work. There are also opportunities to learn more about supporting disabled people in work.
We are currently seeking employers across Scotland who would be keen to host an intern.
Inclusion Scotland will support employers to develop an accessible role profile. We will also be available to both employers and applicants for advice during the recruitment phase. Once the intern has been recruited we will have a support meeting with them to discuss any support or adjustments they might need. Once they are in post we will meet with both the intern and employer together to ensure that support is in place, and if Access to Work is needed that the application is progressing.
We will be available to both parties throughout the placement, and will be encouraging peer networking between participants. We may also be able to signpost employers to further training in disability equality or awareness if desired. We will formally meet with the intern and employer at the end of the placement to evaluate the experience and also offer any advice for the future.
The Local Public Life Internship programme will place 10 interns in public bodies and local authorities. These internships are arranged by and supported solely by Inclusion Scotland. To find out more and register your interest please click here.
Disability Equality Internships is delivered in partnership with the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations. It is open to third sector organisations. For eligibility and registration on this programme please visit the SCVO website by clicking here.
Inclusion Scotland (IS) is a consortium of organisations of disabled people and disabled individuals. Through a process of structured development we aim to draw attention to the physical, social, economic, cultural and attitudinal barriers that affect our everyday lives as disabled people in Scotland.

With the Saw franchise gone and leaving a gaping void in Lionsgate's Halloween festivities, the studio has managed to get an all new kind of saw to shred its way through the hearts of horror fans.
That's right, kids! Mark off October 5, 2012, on your calendars as the day when Leatherface will be coming at you in the third dimension via The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D.
Directed by John Luessenhop and penned by Debra Sullivan, Adam Marcus and Stephen Susco, with the most recent drafts by Kirsten Elms and Luessenhop, look for more on Leatherface 3D or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, or whatever they're calling it, soon.
In terms of plot there's news of several different takes floating around as to what the film will be … a direct sequel to the Tobe Hooper classic or a new beast altogether. All we know for sure is that Bill Moseley will be returning to the horror franchise which put him on the map.

|Food and Dining
|The main dining room has superior food. Not just good, but incredible. The buffet is okay. Breakfast is the best, although they did away with the omelet station which kind of kills it. We purchased the soft drink package and it is a nighmare to get someone to bring you a soft drink - anywhere. Note that the package does not apply to the bars or room service. You'll have to pay for those drinks....why I don't know?
|Cabin / Stateroom
|Our balcony stateroom was very nice. Its shaped like a galley and both the bed and pull out coach for the kids was comfortable. We were at the FRONT of the ship and it wasn't bad at all. Again, someone hire a decorator please!
|Ship Quality
|Room decor does not get high marks, but overall this ship is beautiful.
|Service and Staff
|Ray was our attendant. Let me tell you how perfect he was; when we left our son cried because he said he hated leaving friends behind. The staff is wonderful and does go out of their way.
|We couldn't do it all in 7 days, they had so much going on.
|Children's Programs
|Their kids program directors were fabulous! As a mother I'm always amazed at other people who have the patience to deal with children, well mannered or obnoxious. The program directors we dealt with were writing their thesis on children with autism. Two of them wanted to be teachers. How RCCL got that lucky we may never know.

When contacted, Krishnamurthy said in principle, he had no objection to take the responsibility of being the observer for the BCCI elections but was awaiting for an official word in this regard.
"In principle, I have no problem in functioning as observer for the elections but can only comment on it when I am contacted officially," the former Chief Election Commissioner told PTI over phone.
"I am waiting for an official communication from the parties to the case," he added.
Earlier, senior advocates K K Venugopal and Soli J Sorabjee, appearing for BCCI informed a Bench comprising Justice B P Singh and Justice S B Sinha that the disputing parties had agreed to the name of the former CEC as an observer for the Board's election.
Senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for the Netaji Cricket Club (NCC), Chennai said that NCC and the Cricket Associations of Rajasthan and Bihar have consented to thename of Krishnamurthy as an observer for the BCCI elections.
Following these submissions, the Bench asked them to appraoch the former CEC and inform about his decision to the court tomorrow when it will work out the terms and references for his appointment.
The cricket associations of Rajasthan and Bihar and NCC have challenged the Kolkata High Court judgement removing two former Chief Justices of India as observers for the BCCI elections.
The Division Bench of the High Court had removed Justice K N Singh and Justice M M Punchi, both former CJIs, as observers who were appointed by the Single Bench.
It had only retained Justice Suhas C Sen, former judge of the Supreme Court, as an observer.
During the brief hearing today, Sorabjee objected to the reported language used by officials of some state cricket associations against Justice Sen and sought the court'sintervention to ensure that it was not repeated.
The apex court on October 3 had favoured the appointment of an eminent person other than a judge as observer for BCCI elections in an apparent bid to avoid the unseemly spectacle of judges getting caught in the crossfire of the politics of the Cricket Board.
Earlier on September 27, a Bench headed by Chief Justice R C Lahoti had declined to grant early hearing on the matter saying that there was only a fight of ego in the election.
"It is only a fight of ego," the Bench had observed.

Everything That Rises Must Converge (original 1965; edition 1965)
by Flannery O'Connor
Work details
Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor (1965)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I read/listened to A Good Man is Hard to Find and Other Stories and Everything That Rises Must Converge back-to-back and have to say that I found the tone of this book a bit softer than A Good Man. While both books share a dearth of characters vying for sainthood, this last volume written before her death at least seems to offer some hope for humanity. Still O'Connor's prose offers us an insight into the human condition that is unparalleled in American literature. As Thomas Merton said after her death in 1964, "I write her name with honor, for all the truth and all the craft with which she shows man's fall and his dishonor."
I suspect that her stories will stay with me for many years to come. Some, like the tragic The Lame Shall Enter First, may never leave me.
FYI: On a 5-point scale I assign stars based on my assessment of what the book needs in the way of improvements:
*5 Stars – Nothing at all. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
*4 Stars – It could stand for a few tweaks here and there but it's pretty good as it is.
*3 Stars – A solid C grade. Some serious rewriting would be needed in order for this book to be considered great or memorable.
*2 Stars – This book needs a lot of work. A good start would be to change the plot, the character development, the writing style and the ending.
*1 Star - The only thing that would improve this book is a good bonfire.
My first taste of this author. Interesting dark humor. I want to read something else by her.
"Everything that Rises Must Converge" is a collection of Flannery O'Connor's short stories. Some of these were familiar to me.... I know we read a few in high school and I've probably read some in short story collections over the years.
O'Connor's stories focus on the deep south and on questions of race. Her characters are all unlikeable and troubled, and the stories usually have a turning point where the characters basically get what's coming to them. Sometimes this is incredibly effective, other times it seems pretty obvious where the story is going.
I like her work, but often had a hard time discerning what the overall message is supposed to be. It was very uncomfortable to read so many stories with the n word uttered over and over... so perhaps they aren't aging well.
My first Flannery O'Connor, and now I know where Olive Kitteridge comes from. There is something in the style and her character portrayal that I can trace right back to these O'Connor characters.
It's a collection of stories Flannery O'Connor was working on when she died. They are all exceptionally good and deal with the South, race and morality. They are occupied by the bygone world of people, stragglers who haven't noticed that the world had moved forward and left them behind. It's as if they couldn't help themselves. They are the world the world left behind. We perceive them as bigoted and obnoxious but they can only be pitied as they are much more lost in it than anybody else.
A collection of short stories by Flannery O'Connor, often violent with Southern themes of racism and religion. The flawed characters populate almost every story and most end violently. The author writes well therefore I give it 3.5 stars. I listened to the audible edition read by several narrators. They did a good job of making these stories "Southern".
Everything That Rises Must Converge: The title of the book and first story. This story is of a college graduate who lives with his mother because he can't make enough to live on his own. Violence.
The title Everything That Rises Must Converge refers to a work by the French philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin titled the "Omega Point": "Remain true to yourself, but move ever upward toward greater consciousness and greater love! At the summit you will find yourselves united with all those who, from every direction, have made the same ascent. For everything that rises must converge.
Greenleaf: a woman owns a farm. Mr Greenleaf works for her but she feels he is worthless but her own sons will not help with the farm. They are lazy and disrespectful. Mr. Greenleaf's sons bull keeps coming on her property and she wants Mr. Greenleaf to kill the bull. Violent ending.
A View Of The Woods: A grandfather owns land and keeps selling it. His youngest granddaughter is his favorite and he thinks she is just like him until he sells the 'lawn'. Violent.
The Enduring Chill: a son who has been living in NYC returns to his mother's home to die of what he is sure is a fatal illness. He really is a son who has failed to be what he had aspired to be. This one is not so violent, somewhat funny conclusion.
The Comforts Of Home: another man living with his mother. She brings home a juvenile delinquent girl. Son is angry, wants her removed from the home. Violent ending.
The Lame Shall Enter First: A widowed man and his young son who has not gotten over the death of his mother. This man spends time on other delinquent boys and neglects the needs of his own son. Sad violent ending.
Revelation: woman gets beat up by another girl in the doctor's waiting room. This story is about seeing society through our own prejudices. Interesting story.
Parker's Back: A man with an obsession to get tattoos
Judgement Day: Old man goes North to live with his daughter. Tries to treat a Northern black man like he treats blacks in the South. This ends violently. Tanner just wants to get back South alive or dead.
O'Connor states this about her writing; "All my stories are about the action of grace on a character who is not very willing to support it, but most people think of these stories as hard, hopeless and brutal."—Flannery O'Connor
I look forward to reading more by O'Connor. Short story is not my favorite format but her writing is good, though violent and characters are flawed. Ms O'Connor was a faithful Roman Catholic.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0374504644, Paperback)
Flannery O'Connor was working on Everything That Rises Must Converge at the time of her death. This collection is an exquisite legacy from a genius of the American short story, in which she scrutinizes territory familiar to her readers: race, faith, and morality. The stories encompass the comic and the tragic, the beautiful and the grotesque; each carries her highly individual stamp and could have been written by no one else.

BBC1 controller Jay Hunt said there was a desire to "change the flavour of the panel". She said that Phillips was sorry to be leaving, but that The One Show was a "fantastic opportunity".

The food. This hotel was not as stated on the descriptions/websites....In my opinion not for children,rooms have too many danger points,pool area not adequate for a 5star hotel.
Excellent hotel in a quiet location. Fairly small, even in the middle of the Holliday season, the hotel was very quiet and relaxed. The buffet was very good, didn't even bother to go to one of the al la carte restaurants. Staff was very friendly, and very good with children. Excellent price/value ratio, highly recommended.
Clean room, great food and location. Would recommend to friends and family. Will stay again for sure. Staff in dining area could have been friendlier.
Everything was excelent.
Just Perfect : food, buffet, staff, spa, .... Can't wait to go back
Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, great food etc. We had a great holiday at Gran Hotel Atlantis Bahia Real!!
We enjoyed the quality of the suite Staff at breakfast were did not smile and standards of customer service varied
everything was excellent. the staff was very friendlyand always there when you need anything. even a birthday cake and present as a suprise.
We had sea-view room - 2nd floor. The hotel is situated on the beach and one can see/hear the ocean all time. Very relaxing, quiet (if not a family with a crying baby is next to your room) comfortable and "close to nature". The staff was very friendly. Excellent SPA and very good food! In August- rather noisy (many small children and crying babies!!). in winter- much more quiet! The beach is rather small (however sandy), but one cannot go to the ocean (rocks) and swimmimg is at all not possible . The shuttle to the "Grand beaches"- only 3 times/day. For 5 stars hotel- it should be min.every half an hour.
very good
Den lugna och sköna atmosfären. Närheten till centrum med bra restauranger och affärer. Poolen kunde varit något varmare.
Bra och trevligt läge på både hotell och rum. Bra med affär och poolbar Inte illa, men en restaurant för kvälls mat hade kanske varit bra.
centralt läge, frukost,köpvärt saknade wlan
Lungt och trevligt Dålig stoppning i möbler vardagsrum. Jag fick fast pris från Booking.com
bra läge i förhållande till den gamla stadskärnan, lugnt och rent kring poolen bra och stora pooler. inte renstädat ordentligt, fett kring spis och dammigt på ytor som dörrar och annat. Kunde vara lite blåsigt beroende på läget på udden. Kattor kring poolen. Inte så trivsamt med bar och nöje, llite ålderdomligt, Happy Hour mycket sent på kvällen, Kort tid som poolbaren var öppen, Lågsäsong?och visst har ni bokningsavgifter, det hade blivit billigare om vi bokat själva
Barnvänligt all inclusive altyernativ Utan barnperspektivet - för stökigt
Ett mycket fint familjerum. Ett bra planerat hotell med flera pooler, lekpark och bra varierad mat. Inget som vi direkt tyckte illa om, men vi saknade en lekhörna till barnen i anslutning till matsalen.
Närheten till hamnen och de trevliga restaurangerna
Hotellets personale var meget hyggelig. Nærheten til sentrum. Hotellet er nylig restaurert og rommene har nytt og moderne interiør. Lite eller ingen sjenerende nattestøy. bedre renhold på gulv og balkong
We all liked it. Clean, comfortable and beautiful. no
The one thing was it was very close to the main centre The apartment was very hot all the time, as there was no aircon the bathroom was not in great shape was glad to be going home at the end of the week. there is alot more i could say won't recommend it to anyone. It did put a dampner on our holiday
I had my reservations about this place by the pictures and some of the reviews. When i got there it was amazing the apartment was a sufficient size and the staff were friendly.If you have children it is brilliant there are 4 thomas cook reps and they are brilliant with the children esp Meg and Lee. if you do not keep your sink in the kitchen plugged you will get cockroaches the best way to avoid them is by keeping the plug in.
very good value for money, basic but clean and pretty comfortable apartments, helpfl staff, good location not that far from the town center.
I found the staff in the Pizzeria, Boulevard and Pool bars very friendly and excellent at there job. reception staff need more training to be a bit more helpful and friendly
Friedly staff, good pool, peacefull and nice garden, cleaning, good beds and kitchen If you are unlucky making your reservation you can have apartment which bedroom is beside the street. The noice of the the cars is terrible. It was rain in one day and we got inside water from the roof and doors. Friendly staff used towels. At the same evening the water line was out of order any hours. The possibility to watch the TV should include rooms price without extra fee.
Nice apartment, enough space for two persons, and very collaborative personnel. Everything but the room is paid, and expensive. Ping pong, tennis court, TV...
sun bathing and and relaxing by the pool mainly, sitting on the balcony overlooking the pool activitiy
Insufficient hot water for showers. For a 2 bedroom apartment more seating in common area would have been good.
Poor, ageing apartments. Could do with a overhaul, windows didnt lock, rickety sliding doors. Toilet, didnt flush when we arrived, so I fixed it as there wasnt maintenance available. Not cleaned very well, and was very hot without aircon.
The receptionists were friendly and competent they lost my pyjama!!!
Its close to all the amenities The fact that if you need to check out after midnight or before 8:00am you can't,
Lovely hotel, staff were great and the location was superb for local eating. No
very little A lot. Air conditioning practically non existant. No room service after 3.oo pm. No Lift. No help with luggage. Not 4 star.
a very quiet and relaxing hotel to stay in, it catered for all our needs after a hectic year of work ,lovely pool and garden area to relax in and will return for a other stay very shortly nothing dont change anything
Room was a little bit smaller then expected, everything was clean, located in the city center around all entertainments. Good food for breakfast. Pool area and equipment was a little bit old and not clean
good food,spacious room, receptionists very helpful conditionary air did not work.no elevator.no internet connection available.
the location was top class, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the accommodation and food were very good. nothing of note
it was clean and close to all the fun of shopping and the beach yes - it was very hot and could not get the air to work. there should at least be a fan.
Hard to sleep at night due to air conditioning not working. Just re-cycled air. A lot of hotels dont have the outside compressors running due to expence. I chose that hotel because I didnt read any reviews stating this. It should also be noted that all the rooms are the same size, a quadruple room just has a extra put you up bed in it.
very clean room,helpful staff,animations,pool bar,good value.overall very nice hotel no wifi in hotel.food not that good.better go for steak to town.distance from beach
It is a nice, cosy and rather small Hotel. Staff was friendly, breakfast was good (continental with combination of English breakfast). The location is a bit outside main city centre (15 min walking), but that does not change overall very good impression of the Hotel. For people with smaller children and without a rented car it may be better to use hotel in the city centre, though not necessary if you like walking. Swimming pool, for those who will not enjoy excellent sand beaches, is rather small.
Good value for money hotel. Stayed as Half board and I was happy with the quality and the variety of the food offered. good prices for drinks (1.5 euro for Refreshements - 2 Euros for beer - glass of wine) Should add more sunbeds by the pool as all of them were taken early in the morning by guests towels..
The hotel is situated in a quiet part of town within easy walking distance of both the beach and town (20 minutes - each). The staff were really helpful. Andreas - the restaurant manager went out of his way to offer alternative food on the few occasions we ate in the dining room in the evening. We do not eat meat or shellfish and he arranged for freshly grilled fish for us which was beautifully presented.The hotel and the pool area was very clean and the rooms are a good size. Our room overlooked the pool and had the sun all day long so we could even sit on our balcony and soak up the sun. On a couple of occasions there was a problem with the hot water, which was quickly sorted out.
We Booked Bed & Breakfast in Hotel. There was a great Variety of food available every morning with very pleasant staff on site to help. The Rooms were nice and Comfortable which were Cleaned every day and Towels replaced also if requested. One Minor Problem was couldnt get the fridge in our room to work and requested Maintenance Staff to fix it. The Repair Job was Logged by Reception Staff a few times but unfortunatly Fridge never worked up to time we checked out.
we really appreciate good food, nice pool and quite place tv and hairdryer were not free. ping pong and tennis equipment very old and almost broken. entertainment just for english people.
Location great,food great,enough sunbeds,perfect weather..what more do you need ?
Excellent location for north end of the island. The Villas Del Sol are very peaceful and staff are very accomodating. A good upgrade would be either air conditioning or at the least ceiling fans, as it did get very hot at night time in August
Lots of privacy, very clean. The Villa was situauted at just a couple of kilometers of Corralejo. A nice little town with lots of shops and restaurants. The restaurant give you excellent value for money. Hiring a car turned out to be a good choice. The Island is compact and with a car you can easily travel around. We saw the whole island in 4 days. The Villa has a pool, but this is not heated. So during our stay in december definitly to cold for a swim. The staff told me they were thinking about heating the pool in the future.
easy walk to old town and dunes, quite fine for a budget traveller no airconditioning, hotel needs general renovation
exccellent treatment by the staffs nothing
the location to the centre i did not like the ants that we had to face upon our first night at the apartments, we rang down to reception and they sent us up ant spray which did the job but the smell in our apartment for the week was awful. we had no hot water for the first 2 nights and had to complain 4 times before they delt with the problem. all round i would not reccommend the club las olas.
loacation to center of resort. Poor basic apartments,No kettel toaster or microwave supplied.Bed un -.comfortable
Happy helpful staff ants

Federal judge strikes down part of new Texas abortion law
Catholic News Service
AUSTIN, Texas — A federal judge voided one section of Texas' new abortion law that was scheduled to take effect Oct. 29.
Judge Lee Yeakel of the U.S. District Court in Austin ruled Oct. 28 that the admitting-privileges provision of the new law was unconstitutional.
The law required abortion providers to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. Yeakel decided otherwise, saying it would unreasonably limit a woman's access to abortion. The provision, he said in his ruling, "is without a rational basis and places a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion of a nonviable fetus."
"We were disappointed in part of his ruling," said Jeff Patterson, executive director of the Texas Catholic Conference, in an Oct. 29 telephone interview with Catholic News Service.
"But the one thing I think the Catholic bishops would want to underscore to people is that most of the bill that was passed by the Legislature was upheld," Patterson said.
Yeakel upheld a second provision that requires doctors to use a particular drug protocol in nonsurgical, medication-induced abortions.
The Texas law requires doctors to use a protocol approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2000, which approved the use of higher doses of the medication through the seventh week of pregnancy. Yeakel ruled that requiring the protocol did not pose an unconstitutional obstacle, except in cases where the new regimen appeared necessary to save the life or health of the mother.
The suit, brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Reproductive Rights, Planned Parenthood and the owners of abortion clinics in Texas, did not challenge a ban on nearly all abortions starting at 20 weeks after conception. The ban took effect Oct. 29.
Also not challenged in the suit was a provision that all abortion clinics meet the standards of ambulatory surgery centers. The provision does not take effect until next September.
"Planned Parenthood and the pro-abortion community were quick to say it was a huge overturning of the law when it was nothing of the sort," Patterson told CNS.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry said the state would appeal the decision. Yeakel, in his ruling, said the ultimate decision on the bill would not be reached by him, but "by either the (Fifth U.S.) Circuit (Court of Appeals in New Orleans) or the Supreme Court of the United States."
Had the admitting-privileges provision been ruled constitutional, it was estimated that up to 12 of Texas' 36 abortion clinics would have had to close.
Admitting-privileges provisions had been blocked earlier by courts in Alabama, Mississippi, North Dakota and Wisconsin.
The drug-protocol provision is still legal in Ohio, but it was thrown out by courts in North Dakota and Oklahoma.
The 20-weeks requirement has been adopted in 12 states, but it was rejected by the court in the three states where it was subject to a legal challenge.
The abortion issue in Texas drew national and international attention in July.
When a bill to toughen abortion regulations failed to gain traction during the regular session as lawmakers focused on the state budget and other matters, Perry decided to add abortion to his call for a special session that began hours after the regular session adjourned.
After a series of delays allowed Democratic State Sen. Wendy Davis of Fort Worth to filibuster in the waning hours of the session, the abortion measure died despite clear majority support. Perry called a second special session and again added abortion restrictions as an agenda item. It passed and the governor signed it into law July 17.
Opponents of the law quickly challenged it by filing a lawsuit.
During the first special legislative sessions, the filibuster by Davis got the attention of pro-life supporters and brought them out to the Capitol in large numbers for the second special session.
Marie Seale, director of the Diocese of Austin's Office of Pro-Life Activities and Chaste Living, said in an interview at the time that "people were wildly upset about what Wendy Davis did to legislation in the first special session. When pro-lifers saw the vote being taken from them, they riled up."
She told the Catholic Spirit, Austin's diocesan newspaper: "This is our faith in action. I'm in awe and praying it doesn't end."
In Oklahoma, the state Supreme Court said Oct. 29 that the drug-protocol provision in that state's abortion law "effectively bans all medication abortions" and therefore is unconstitutional. Last December, it upheld a lower court's ruling that tossed out the protocol provision as unconstitutional for creating an "undue burden" on a woman's ability to obtain an abortion.
State officials had sought a review of the case by the U.S. Supreme Court, which it agreed to do, but not before the Oklahoma Supreme Court gave the justices clarification of what the Oklahoma law specifically prohibits. Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has the court's answer -- that the provision is too broad to stand -- it might decide not to review the case.
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt said the state Supreme Court again misinterpreted the aim of the provision, which he said is to protect Oklahoma women from "harmful outcomes" that could result from off-label uses of abortion drugs.

Neptune Investment Management founder Robin Geffen unveiled his firm's investment ideas for the next 12 months at a meeting last week — big bets on India, and Japan and a lesser one on Europe for those of you who follow these things.
He also took time out to reflect on the UK, saying that, for the first time in a generation, it was now a market which had to take account of political risk.
His particular take was on sterling. In currencies, the story of the past year has been the upward surge of the dollar, the sharp fall of the yen and the lesser weakness of everything else. Thus far, sterling has been relatively insulated. It is down from its highs against the dollar, but only by about 10%.
The question Geffen posed was whether this was likely to last once the rest of the world woke up to the fact that there is an election in this county in less than six months' time, and no one has a clue who is likely to win. There is a strong possibility of a minority government led by either of the major parties, which have quite different visions about the direction in which they want the country to travel.
The normal reaction of overseas investors faced with such uncertainty is to leave well alone. But this would be a problem, given that the UK needs a regular inflow of foreign money to buy the government bonds sold every month to fund the deficit. It would not take long for this nervousness to spread to the currency market and put sterling under pressure.
Geffen was not forecasting that this would happen but he could see that it was a possibility. Thus he asked why it was that markets were not paying more attention to the risk of a sharp fall in sterling and what would flow from it in terms of the ability of the Government easily to fund its debt and whether the Bank of England would be forced into a premature hike in interest rates to try to stabilise the currency.
Events in the oil market are a reminder of how volatile prices are in this hot money world, and how quickly prices can collapse when sentiment shifts. Some of us are also old enough to have reported on the day 30 years ago during Prime Minister Thatcher's second term when the pound fell to $1.03 against the dollar, so we know sterling is not immune. It won't have to sink to anything like that level to cast a long shadow over the City.
Former Labour Minister and EU Commissioner Lord Mandelson, in his role as guest speaker at yesterday's Stock Exchange Christmas lunch, struck a similarly cautious note by highlighting the risks involved when a governing party of whatever complexion has to depend on alliances with minority parties to get its business through — something which many believe will be the most likely outcome after May.
Again, this degree of political uncertainty is not what overseas investors expect of Britain, and it is likely to be made worse if the Conservatives retain power and set off towards an EU referendum.
The fear then is that investment into the UK will slow to a trickle while people wait to see which way the country decides to jump. That is what happened in Scotland, and it is likely to happen on a far greater level with the EU vote because the stakes are so much higher. Indeed, it is hard to see any businessman undertaking serious investment in this country until they know what the political deal is.
The drying-up of that investment — given how dependent the UK is on overseas money — may not be enough on its own to tip the economy back into recession but it certainly has the potential to take all the gloss off the recovery. That and a slide in the value of the currency could make 2015 a challenging year.
A Wellcome example funds could follow
We are supposed to live in a low-return world but no one seems to have told Danny Truell, chief investment officer at The Wellcome Trust — an endowment fund that is probably Europe's biggest source of charitable funding for medical research.
Its annual report, published today, showed that its £16.4 billion investment portfolio rose 15%, or £2.5 billion, during the year. Nor, in the context of recent years, was this particularly unusual. The fund has made a total return of 81% (or more than £9 billion) in the six years since the start of the global financial crisis. Returns have been 10.2% annualised for the last 10 years, a cumulative return of 163%. Since the inception of the investment portfolio in 1985, it has provided a total return of 14% a year.
As a result of this most recent performance, it expects to be able to spend more than £4 billion on charitable activities in the next five years, up almost a quarter on the previous five-year period.
It does raise one question though. If long-term investors like Truell and his predecessors can deliver results like this, why do so few of our pension funds achieve similar returns?
The Wellcome endowment was created in its modern form with the founding family's shares when the eponymous drug company went public in 1985. But if it had remained invested in Wellcome — or in Glaxo, which subsequently bought the company — the return to the charity would have been far lower.
So at least part of the credit for the subsequent success should go to one of the fund's first chairmen, Sir Roger Gibbs, who took the brave decision to sell the Wellcome shares so the fund could diversify. He was motivated to do this by the experience of his father, who had been chairman of the Nuffield Trust, a charity derived from the fortune of the founder of carmaker Morris.
The founder insisted his investments remained in the car business, and sadly they became almost worthless when what was by then British Leyland headed for the rocks. Those running the Northern Rock charity in Newcastle had a similar experience after the parent bank failed.Reuse content
