MELBOURNE, Australia - Victoria Azarenka won her second consecutive Australian Open title, beating Li Na 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in a final that included a break for fireworks, two medical timeouts and a nasty fall to the court by Li.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The Chinese star first tumbled to the court after twisting her left ankle in the fifth game of the second set and had it taped.
On the first point after a 10-minute pause in the third set while fireworks boomed overhead from nearby Australia Day celebrations, Li fell over again and slammed the back of her head on the court. The 2011 French Open champion was treated and had another timeout before being allowed to resume the match.
Azarenka, who broke down in tears and sobbed into her towel when the match ended, won five of the next six games to claim her second major title and retain the No. 1 ranking.
"Unfortunately, you have to go through some rough patches to achieve great things. That's what makes it so special for me," she said. "I went through that, and I'm still able to kiss that beautiful trophy."
Serena Williams, who lost in the quarterfinals, will become the new No. 2 in the rankings.
Americans Mike and Bob Bryan won their record 13th Grand Slam doubles title, defeating the Dutch team of Robin Haase and Igor Sijsling 6-3, 6-4. They had been tied with the Australian greats John Newcombe and Tony Roche with 12 major titles.
The women's 2-hour, 40-minute match featured 16 service breaks, with Li losing her service nine times.
On a crisp Saturday night, Azarenka won the coin toss and elected to receive, a ploy that seemed to work when a nervous Li was broken to start the match. After a double fault on the first point, Li's forehand long gave Azarenka the early lead.
When she first injured her ankle, Li was trailing 3-1 in the second set. When she came back, she won three of the next four games to tie it 4-4, but Azarenka broke back and then held her serve.
Azarenka broke in the opening game of the final set, just two games before the match was suspended for the fireworks, a planned stoppage of play that both players were notified about before the match.Next Page >

What auto sales say about the economy
Carmakers' strong November gains paint a positive growth picture.
By Ted Reed, TheStreet
Once again, strong auto sales are signaling a continual gradual improvement in the economy and are enabling share-price gains for automakers.
In November, auto industry sales rose 17% over the same month a year earlier. "This year's fourth quarter will be the fourth quarter in a row that the sales rate has increased substantially," Ford (F) analyst George Pipas said on the company's monthly sales conference call. "It's a good sign as we approach 2011."
General Motors (GM) economist Sue Su said the time has finally come when companies, many of them sitting on cash, are ready to hire. "Businesses have been reluctant to hire workers," Su said. "Only recently, that deadlock seems to be broken. . . . Now we are seeing businesses a little bit more ready to hire."
"We are starting a positive loop" in which businesses have profits in hand and would like to invest more to meet growing demand, Su said, noting that rising employment will lead to improved consumer sentiment. That will inspire more auto purchases, especially given that the average vehicle today is about 10 years old and could use replacing.
While acknowledging that employment is definitely rising, Ford economist Ellen Hughes-Conwick said the weak housing sector remains a countervailing force. "Our perspective on the housing sector remains negative," she said. "Mortgage debt prevents (big increases) in consumer spending."
Overall, however, "despite the drag from housing, many buyers now have the means to replace older vehicles, (and) we do expect gradual increases in sales in the months ahead," Hughes-Conwick said. Increasing credit availability is also a positive, she said. This is especially true for GM, for which the benefit of the AmeriCredit deal is just now kicking in.
Sizing up individual automakers' prospects after Wednesday's sales numbers, investors maintained their love for the Ford story. Ford led the sector in sales gains, with a 24.3% increase, and in share price gain with a 3.3% increase. Honda (HMC) was second in both categories. Sales rose 21%, while shares rose 2.9 %.
Toyota (TM), despite a 3.3% sales dip, saw a 2.6% share-price gain. GM posted an 11.4% sales gain and a 1.7% share-price gain.

eBay Remains a Solid Bet After Earnings
Daniel is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In the world of e-commerce, two giants have arisen to dominate the market. One of these is Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), a very good company that unfortunately has a laughably high valuation. The other is eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY), an equally strong company with a far more reasonable valuation. This week eBay reported earnings that slightly beat the consensus, and the firm also raised its full-year guidance. In this article I will outline some of the reasons I believe eBay is an attractive choice at the moment.
eBay, with a market cap of nearly $62 billion, is one of the world's largest global commerce platforms. After selling Skype to Microsoft some time ago, eBay's core business is now divided into two segments. The first of these is e-commerce, in which it has a well-established name. This division accounts for about half a total revenue and just over half of profits.
The other core division is Payments, which operates largely through the Paypal brand. Paypal is good for about a third of revenue, and is the company's fastest growing division. According to eBay's CEO, Paypal's global reach is a strong competitive advantage, and one that should allow eBay to continue growing profits in the future.
The company's most recent earnings report, released on Wednesday, is encouraging. eBay reported Q3 2012 EPS of $0.55 which beat estimates by a penny. Revenue was in-line at $3.4 billion, which represents a 15% rise year over year. Paypal, which has over 117 million users worldwide, put up especially strong results with revenue up 23% year over year and transaction volume up 20%. Marketplace revenue growth was a little less impressive at 9%, partly due to tough competition from Amazon in the developed markets, and Alibaba in China, in which Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) has a large stake. Aside from these earnings that were mostly in-line, eBay also raised full-year guidance slightly.
Valuation and metrics
Let's take a look at some of the firm's fundamentals. eBay has a P/E of 16.85x earnings, which is lower than the industry average of 18.25x and certainly lower than Amazon's ridiculous 295.5x earnings. eBay trades at a reasonable 3.23 to book and has a solid return on equity of 19.24. Debt isn't too much of an issue for the company, as the LT debt to equity ratio stands at about 8.5. The company has a nice operating margin of 20.6%. Based on these valuations, the company doesn't look very expensive at all.
Of course, partly due to the global economic downturn, eBay faces a number of risks in the near future. One of these, as previously mentioned, is strong competition from the likes of Amazon and Yahoo!'s Alibaba. This may put pressure on the company's margins. Another risk, as a result of the company's global reach, is its sensitivity to negative Forex translation. Finally, Paypal may face increased competition from rival payment systems.
Bottom Line
In summary, I believe that eBay's most recent earnings report paints an optimistic picture of the company's prospects in the near future. Earnings as well as revenue were largely in line with expectations, which were quite high to begin with. Also, based on fundamental valuations, the company looks quite inexpensive at the moment, especially compared to Amazon, its largest competitor. eBay may thus be of interest to those looking to capitalize on growth in E-commerce and electronic payments.
Know What You Own
If you're an investor in retail stocks, you have to look at Amazon.com, the company intent on disrupting the entire sector. Whether you're researching Amazon itself or one of the companies it's taking sales from, you need to understand the company and its prospects.

Eagle Creek Easy Blink Eyeshade 1 1
FANTASTIC! I often travel on night flights. The lights from other passengers' screens and personal overheads bothered me, however, and I rarely was able to sleep without continuously waking up to shift my position so my eyes weren't so affected. The airline complimentary masks are worthless as they press on my eyes and don't block out all the light. Recently I purchased one of these masks for me and another for my husband. We wore them on two long international flights. They truly block out the light and are comfortable. On the return, I was able to sleep nine of the 10-1/2 hours (broken only by occasional trips to the rr and to stretch my legs). I'm buying several for gifts for my friends who are also frequent fliers. March 15, 2014

I agree that the tournament has been pretty boring. I don't usually do all the dailies. What's the reason for doing them? Gold and some tabbards and pets? It seems like the tournament could have had a lot more non-daily quests that moved a story forward. We had the black Knight but that was it.
Jay in Oregon said...
I'm hoping that once we have our first Crusaders, some new questlines will open up, now that we have been proven to be among the best of the best.
As an aside: If you're already exalted with the home factions and the Argent Crusade, you'll get 5 achievements at once when you finish your final Champion's test:
*Champion of [Faction]
*Exalted Champion of [Faction]
*Champion of the Alliance/Horde
*Exalted Champion of the Alliance/Horde
*Exalted Argent Champion of the Alliance/Horde
I am so getting a screenshot of that!

WASHINGTON, DC, December 1, 2010 – On January 18, 2011 the Newseum will host a panel discussion on the historic and contemporary relevance of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's famous Farewell Address. Co-sponsored with the Eisenhower Institute of Gettysburg College and the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, the panel will be led by David Gergen of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. Panelists will include: James Fallows of The Atlantic; Dana Priest of The Washington Post; and Evan Thomas of Newsweek. The program will also air Eisenhower's original speech in which he warned of the "unwarranted influence" of a "military industrial complex." The speech, delivered on January 17, 1961, was his last before leaving office after serving two terms as president.
"Visitors to the Newseum are reminded that historic news events frequently provide a glimpse into the future," said Charles L. Overby, chief executive officer of the Newseum. "We have a better understanding of the importance of Eisenhower's speech today than we did 50 years ago."
"Eisenhower's Farewell Address was prescient. In fact, many of his concerns and observations still ring true today," noted Eisenhower Institute Director Jeffrey Blavatt. "The Newseum is a marvelous backdrop for this appraisal."
Karl Weissenbach, Director of the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, observed: "Eisenhower is consistently placed among the top 10 in presidential ranking polls, and I believe the foresight he expressed in the Farewell Address is a contributing factor."
Susan Eisenhower, public policy analyst and granddaughter of the former president, will provide introductory remarks prior to the speech's screening and the subsequent panel discussion and audience questions. The reception, catered by Wolfgang Puck, and the event will be open to the public. Registration is required as seating is limited.
For more information, please contact Jane Kratovil of the Eisenhower Institute at 202-628-4444 or Rick Farwell at email@example.com.

The Lap of Luxury
Cambridge's new PetsHotel is the cat's meow. Dogs like it, too.
In case we haven't met, I have a cat named Joanie. Unlike dogs, which sound majorly needy, cats don't need to be bathed—or boarded. Whenever I travel, Joanie makes do with a five-day automatic feeder and neighbors willing to stop in. It helps that she pees in a box.
But sometimes I wonder if Joanie is as happy with our arrangement as I pretend she is. Like, for example, the time I returned to find she'd pushed all the wine glasses off the kitchen shelf.
Cambridge's PetsHotel, in the new Fresh Pond PetSmart, is salvation for the guilt-addled pet owner: convenient and well priced, with none of the cramped cages or odoriferousness associated with most boarding facilities. Twenty-seven dollars a night for dogs and $14 for cats pays for posh digs, Science Diet meals (or BYO), fleecy hypoallergenic blankets, and twice-daily play sessions with impossibly upbeat hotel staffers. Spa services cost extra, and include baths, nail clipping, and ear cleaning.
For her stay, Joanie is booked into one of the "kitty cottages," bilevel nooks that feature "private relief areas." A flat-screen TV shows movies (The Adventures of Milo and Otis is a guest favorite) to muffle stray barks from the mutts across the hall, where lactose-free ice cream and biscuits are served on demand. Traveling owners are encouraged to call in to speak with their pets on the Bone Booth, so I do. Whoever answers tells me Joanie is doing fine—also that she "loves shiny things"—but is presently napping, and can I call back?
At pickup three days later, Joanie's "Pawgress Report" notes she was "very affectionate." "Joanie was So. Much. Fun!" no fewer than six staffers sing. The cat seems content, if a bit haughty with excess attention; my apartment looks as it did when I left. Not even the neediest bitches—or clingy cat-owners—can poo-poo that.

Local girls basketball teams have plenty of talent in the younger classes to support the returning varsity players from last year. Three teams also have new coaches leading their programs' transitions into the 2013-14 season.
Kimball High Jaguars
Two years ago, Kimball High girls basketball coach Mike Granillo faced the task of building a varsity team with mostly freshman players on the starting lineup.
The Jaguars keep building on what they've learned in tough seasons. Last year, the team went 17-11, 8-6 in the Valley Oak League, and made the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II playoffs for the second year in a row.
"I have the majority of the core coming back, which is nice," Granillo said.
Juniors starting their third year on varsity are point guard Allison Schmidt, forwards Sarah Nunes and Alexis Clark and center Ayida Peters. Guard Isabella Lawrence played her freshman year but was out last year.
"We've grown a lot and have gotten more experienced since freshman year, so we know what to expect," Clark said.
Peters added that the team also understands where it needs to improve the most.
"I think we've gotten tremendously better with our defense. We just need to work more on our offense, and then we'll be able to go further into playoffs," Peters said.
Seniors who joined the varsity team last year as juniors include Noni Kuumba, Andrea Barajas and Brittany Lee.
Tracy High Bulldogs
Tracy High's girls basketball team brings back only a few players from the 2012-13 team, but coach Derek Solano is confident that upcoming players will fill the places left open by last year's graduating seniors.
The varsity team is out to improve on a 16-11 record, including a 7-3 second-place finish in the San Joaquin Athletic Association and a trip to the SJS Division II playoffs. Some of the new players come from last year's junior varsity team, which went 10-0 in league play.
"I really think that having those players who won a championship is always a benefit," Solano said. "They're hungry. They like winning and they know how to win."
Returning seniors Sarah Rodriguez, Kimberly Paschal and Kennedy Scheckla will be joined by sophomores Natalie Johnson and Jazmyn Gonzalez and freshman Caitlin Bowman.
Scheckla sees big potential in the team.
"Everyone we've moved up, they're all really great athletes," she said. "They have that innate ability to work hard and instantly know what they should be doing."
Rodriguez said last year's team leaders gave her a foundation to lead a new team.
"We can move on and start the fresh people completely new and have them exactly how we want them," Rodriguez said.
West High Wolf Pack
West High's new girls basketball coach, Emilio Guzman, said the challenge of his first year was making sure he had a full roster of motivated players.
Last year, the Wolf Pack went 10-17, 1-9 in the Tri-City Athletic League, and this year, Guzman pulled in new players to fill the varsity, sophomore and freshman teams.
"It's about keeping them motivated so that they enjoy the program and want to play," he said, adding that the girls who enjoy the game the most are the best ambassadors to recruit new players.
Returning seniors include Angelica Nava-Perez and Aajani "Nini" Woodward. Woodward said the players are already bonding as a team.
"We played over the summer, too, so we have a feel for each other. We connect a lot better," she said. "Everybody is stepping their game up."
Juniors include Imani McAlister and Sandy Barbosa, and Brittney Reyes and Taylor Herrera return as sophomores.
Guzman coached basketball during
his 26-year U.S. Air Force career. He coached high school basketball in Florida, and since coming to California 15 years ago, he has coached at Patterson High and at Freiler School and Bella Vista Christian Academy. Guzman has been with the West program as an assistant coach for two years.
Millennium High Falcons
Joe Reyes, the new girls basketball coach at Millennium High, hopes his 31 years of coaching basketball will translate to a strong foundation for the Falcon girls for years to come.
A new league lineup — minus defending Sac-Joaquin Section Division V champion Brookside Christian — and a group of seasoned players give Reyes and the Falcons hope to improve on last year's 6-15 record, including an 0-8 showing in the Central California Athletic Alliance.
"Some of them have big hearts, and some of them have a lot of smarts up top, and that goes hand in hand," Reyes said. "Chemistry is probably going to be our biggest asset, because they all get along so well."
Returning players include seniors Dejah Barney and Madison Carroll.
"Our coach this year is teaching us to work together, rather than focus on ourselves," Barney said. "We'll be more of a team this year."
Reyes said a full roster with strong players means the Falcons will transition in and off of the court with little if any change in tempo.
"I'm looking for a deep, deep team this year with everybody playing hard," Reyes said.
Returning players include junior Reina Perales and sophomore Anekha Birdi. Reyes said new players Amaya Salas, a freshman, and Julia Pagliaro, a sophomore, show potential.
Delta Charter High Dragons
Delta Charter High's new coach, Johnny Aguilar, came to the rural campus last week with 25 years of basketball experience, including as a coach at Ripon High and as a referee for local games.
Aguilar, who also teaches history and math at Delta Charter, is eager to see the team grow.
"I'm going to try to build a program here, something that's going to be here in the future," Aguilar said. "I've got some girls who will be back with me next year, so it's all about fundamentals now."
Junior Samantha Lillak said the team has changed from two years ago, when she started playing as a freshman.
"I see a lot of willingness for teamwork. A lot of people want to work to win a lot of games this year," she said, adding that the Dragons expect to improve on last year's 6-16 record, 5-10 in the Mountain Valley League.
"During my freshman year, we had only seven girls on the team. Now, having 14, we have a lot of backup and support."
Returning players include senior Asia Harris, an all-MVL first-team player in 2012-13; junior Emma Richardson, in her third year on varsity; juniors Victoria Homen, Haley Anderson and Mia Gomez; and sophomore Katlin Good.

House buyers and sellers face a stand-off in the coming months due to an opinion gap about how realistic prices are in the tough economy, a study has suggested.
The mis-match in views could lead to sales stalling further in a market which is already seen as difficult and patchy, property search website Rightmove found.
Half of people planning to buy a home in the next year feel prices in their area are still above what is "fair and reasonable", despite the weakness of the market, researchers found. But only a third of people who are trying to sell a home hold the same view, and 56% of them said their biggest concern is receiving an offer they consider to be "sensible".
Despite sluggish sales, UK house prices are still around five times that of earnings, compared with the longer-term average over the last 30 years which is closer to four times, according to research from Nationwide.
Rents have soared as people unable to get on the property ladder because they cannot raise a deposit or meet lenders' toughened criteria have remained in the rental sector.
People living in London, where prices have remained relatively strong due to heavy overseas buyer interest were the most likely to believe prices are higher than what is fair, with 65% of people saying this. They were closely followed by people in the South East, where 56% of people hold this opinion.
Those living in Northern Ireland, where house prices have declined sharply following a period of rocketing prices before the financial crisis, were the least likely to believe they are unreasonable, with just a fifth of people agreeing this.
Despite the differing opinions, those surveyed tended to believe that house prices will not drop as a result. Seven out of 10 people out of nearly 40,000 home movers in the UK-wide study conducted last month said they expect house prices to be the same or higher in a year's time while only 24% thought prices will be lower. A fifth of those who thought prices are set to rise said that this will be driven by "overpricing" by estate agents and sellers.
Miles Shipside, director of Rightmove said: "Unless both parties are able to bridge the price gap, then a stand-off situation ensues leading to lower numbers of successful sales. Naturally, sellers have an interest in standing their ground in order to achieve the best price but in the current housing market, where sellers outnumber successful buyers by around two to one, sellers need to lower the price or increase the perception of value to avoid being outflanked by their competition."
Some 32% of people in Scotland thought prices are above what is fair, as did 43% of people in Wales. In England, people in the East Midlands were the least likely to think that prices are too high, with 38% holding this opinion.

Do Not Thaw It In The Microwave!!!!!
I just took an 8 lb ham out of the freezer (a fully cooked smoked one) and I'd really like to make it for dinner tonight (I know, I never think far enough in advance! )... Obviously, I've never cooked a whole ham before, now I'm reading that you're supposed to thaw it in the fridge for a couple days... Any way around this? Microwave? If so, how long? I originally was thinking of Potato Soup with ham but don't have any ham besides the whole from freezer, so I thought I'd make the ham with potatoes tonight and then use the leftovers for soup tomorrow night. I guess, I could put the whole menu on hold until the ham thaws, but then I might be all out of the mood. It really sounds good for tonight. Of course, I could always put the ham back in the freezer and drive myself to the grocery store and buy a ham steak and stick to the soup, but that would be way too easy! Thanks in advance for any thawing tips!
Do Not Thaw It In The Microwave!!!!!
If you don't mind running up your water bill, the best way to thaw anything out is to put it in a water tight bag (like a big ziploc freezer bag or something) and then put it in a bowl in your sink and turn the water on (about room temperature). Let the water run into the bowl and overflow over the edges. It might take a while (like a couple of hours) but it is the most effective way to thaw things. Make sure you turn it over every half hour or so.
Why not do the ham and potatoes in the slow cooker? I put frozen meat in there all the time. Just cook it all day and it should be wonderful!
I've heard that the rule of thumb for refrigerator defrosting is 1 hour for every 5 lbs of frozen meat. I would do the water bath (don't do hot water!) or crock pot it.
I have never done a frozen ham. However, I would just put it in on low for about 6 hours then add the potatoes and finsh on high till dinner time. Even if it doesn't heat all the way through you'll have enough hot for dinner tonight and the rest will thaw overnight for the soup.
Put it on a piece of our Executive cookware. I often take meat from the freezer and put it on the square griddle - flip it over every time you walk past it and it's thawed in no time.
oh, wow that's a good idea. I couldn't do the crock pot, the ham was a little too big (tall) for my ginormous crock pot. So, I ended up putting the ham in fridge to make another day and I just have to come up with something else to make for dinner tonight. It's probably too late now to get it to defrost and cook it in time for dinner. So, I'll wait for tomorrow, but the cookware thing is an awesome idea, I'll be using that in the future! Thanks!
Ok, so this is how I thaw BIG stuff, I do my turkey this way every year--I get a $5 Orange bucket from Home Depot (it's a 5 gallon bucket), put the large--whatever--in it, cover it with cold water, and let it set--change the water about every 1/2 hour. It's way easier than putting it in the sink and covering it with water, and I just lift it, dump the old water out, put the new water in and put it on the counter or wherever in my kitchen. I have done my turkey this way for years. For an 8 lb ham I guess you could use a smaller bucket.....
Why don't you use warm water?
Because everything I have ever read for safety reasons (I assume so that it doesn't thaw too quickly?) says cold water.

While many U.S. retailers are still weighing whether to grow internationally, e-commerce businesses outside of the U.S. aren't necessarily waiting around.
While many U.S. retailers are still weighing whether to grow internationally, e-commerce businesses outside of the U.S. aren't necessarily waiting around. Quickly sprouting around international consumers are online stores from large brand name consumer goods makers to smaller e-commerce sites. And it may have taken about 10 years for flash-sale sites to develop in the U.S., but businesses have hopped on board that model elsewhere.
Take Turkey. A country with a population of about 77 million people, it had the seventh-largest online population in Europe numbering 17.8 million in April 2009, according to comScore. In that same month, Internet users in Turkey spent the most time online, 32 hours per visitor, and consumed the most pages, 3,044, than any European country. This past May, comScore measured Turkey's Internet audience at 22 million, up by 25% from about a year ago.
In May, one of the top 20 most-visited retail sites in Turkey was flash-sale site TrendYol.com, which translates as trend road in English. TrendYol's sophisticated-looking home page features a gold-colored Vespa parked in front of a boutique in black and white. The site attracted 623,000 monthly unique visitors and about one million monthly visits in May, according to comScore. Sales scheduled on TrendYol for the week include both international brands, such as American Eagle, as well as products from Turkish manufacturers such as a shoe maker NR.39.
I had a conversation about international online retailing this past week with Tyler Smith, president of Niche Retail LLC, an e-retailer which has branched out to offer e-commerce services such as order management, search engine marketing, customer service and inventory management to consumer goods makers. Smith made an important point that e-retailers need to approach each country differently, accommodating the different customer expectations of each region. In Italy, consumers use credit cards less frequently than elsewhere in Europe and expect to pay for goods on delivery, he noted. In England, retailers face higher return rates and higher logistics expenses. As Smith pointed out, retailers looking at international sales can't just put up a translated site that accepts the local currency and expect to succeed.
In addition, retailers need to not only understand consumer expectations and practices but understand businesses that are already operating in other markets. But with some research, it can pay off, as international Internet users numbers grow and are primed for the convenience and benefits of online shopping.

Pretty good overall
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Cinnamon Shores was pretty good. However when we arrived to our condo, the floors were extremely dirty. Our kids barefoot feet were black after the first hour of being in the house. We called turnkey to have them send someone back out to clean the floors. Someone came out to clean them two days later. The TVs/direct tv kept having issues too. They sent someone out there to repair them too. The condo is quite far from the beach. We rented a golf cart though and that helped. The rooms were nice, the kitchen was nice and the restaurant across from the condos, Lisabellas, was delicious! For those of you with babies, they have a pack and play and a high chair so no need to bring your own. Turnkey customer service department is great! Very friendly and prompt responses every time I had to call them.
Everything about our 3 day stay was perfect! The photos and description of the condo were 100% accurate! It is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The view could not have been more spectacular! Loved the sea gulls, birds and pelicans flying right by our balcony. The condo is well laid out and it was very clean and spacious! It is modern, updated and private! The owners communicatevia email and are readily available and responsive to your questions! It really was perfect in every way. We will most definitely be back and will definitely recommend this condo to our friends! Thank you!

PISCATAWAY, NJ — With cold and flu season upon us, spending time reviewing your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, its major components as well as air and water distribution is time well-spent to help mitigate the spread of bacteria, including the H1N1 influenza A virus, according to a press release.
According to the release, Trane Inc. has provided some commonsense maintenance protocols to ensure the health and safety of building occupants.
Some suggestions include: Monitoring facilities to ensure there is no stagnant water present as it can provide an environment conducive to the growth of problematic microbes; upgrading to higher efficiency air filters and replace them regularly and having maintenance crews wear personal protective equipment to ensure they do not come into contact with contaminants potentially trapped in the HVAC system, the release stated.
Other suggestions include: Checking exhaust fans and air intake dampers to ensure they are functioning properly; and providing staff with training to increase overall awareness about the risks of influenza exposure and the likely ways to contract the virus, the release noted.
Though not directly related to HVAC systems, the most important thing is to stress proper hand hygiene among all building occupants as frequent hand washing is the single best defense against the spread of germs and bacteria, the release added.

Comments about Rabbit Air BioGS Air Purifier (SPA-582A):
Outstanding air quality since recieving this product.
Comments about Rabbit Air BioGS Air Purifier (SPA-582A):
We loved the first one so much that we ordered a second one. Night time setting is very quiet. The filter replacements are extremely reasonable. The Rabbit looks good in our living room and does the job for us. We are in an area where mold and pollen are very high in the winter and the rabbit(s) keeps the whole house pollen free. We highly recommend this product. Most important- Sylvane delivered the products as scheduled and they arrived in perfect condition.
Comments about Rabbit Air BioGS Air Purifier (SPA-582A):
The Rabbit Air BioGS has not eliminated the dust but has helped to keep it controllable.
We also share our home with 5 animals. The main one that the Rabbit Air BioGS has helped us with is our huge long hair cat and his litter box. I can work at my desk that is located right next to the litter box and there is absolutely no odor in the air.
The Rabbit Air BioGS has helped keep the debris from our 2 birds from causing us an extreme amount of work.
Thank goodness the Rabbit is light and easily carried from room to room. It takes care of a large amount of square footage so actually we only have to move it a coupe of times to take care of odors, dust, lint, etc. in our home. Both my husband and I are happy with the Rabbit Air BioGS.

21 September 2014
We were a little bit worried going since we had booked via Thomas Cook, who had rated it 4*, before reading any reviews. Some of the reviews (on sites like this one) were quite bad, but it was too late to do anything but go! However, the bad reviews proved unfounded. We have been to two other club hotels in other Turkish resorts (Bodrum and Kusadasi) and this compared very favourably. There were four of us: my wife and I plus two adult children aged 19 and 22.The isolated location was not a real drawback though Kusadasi is better, in that Ephesus is right next door, and both Bodrum and Kusadasi are more interesting as seaside resorts than Didim/Atinkum. We took the Dolmus to Atinkum once but didn't think much of it. I guess we can conclude that if a major tour operator rates a hotel as 4* then it probably is at least close to that.We would go again.(See Tripadvisor for a longer review.)
The staff were really friendly. The hotel was nicely maintained but it was quite a long way away from Altinkum. The security work a little too hard. You can't bring any food in. The food on site is really nice. The rooms really looked amazing. They were great with children. Entertainment isn't great but I can really recommend this place.
2 weeks Tarhan (aug 2007). Fam. chambers were a disaster, everything went out of order and the outer door did not lock. Safes aren't anchored anywhere. We got a good alternative for the disastrous chamber, much smaller. Nice and close at the pool. Very slippery tiles around the pool, dangerous. wonderful breeze from the sea, not unpleasantly hot. There was much variaty in the food, but it was not my taste. Choose Tarhan if you want to be faraway from the hubbub of the city. In sea you get sharp stings, extremely unpleasant. Horribly long queues for ice cream around 4pm. Small mugs to drink from at the pool. Keep a close watch on small, much chance on accidents. Nice steps above the disco but small children will fall in no time. I am through with Turkey for a while, our youngest (2yrs) contracted salmonella bacteria and the rota virus and it is still not from his blood. Nobody knows if you have taken it with you, but I the deem the chances quite high.
stayed from 22/9 to 6/10 just came back; splendid location; ideal relaxation holiday but not everything was opened (tropicbar); bufetts were varied but always returned in a couple of days; in immediate surroundings there is nothing to try therefore dolmus and bus in order to visit things. It was good value for money; we shall return there sometime a time but then stay on half board basis.
What is most important to you when choosing a city break?

- Great placeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/7/2014We enjoyed it so much on our first visit that we went back again the next night!Special Features:
- Amazing!lexieDined on 9/5/2014We had the best meal we've had in a long time at Rick Erwin's Nantucket Seafood! We had Surf and Turf with Lobster and steak. Both of these items were melt in your mouth tender. We were there during a 3 for $30 feature and there was no difference in those specials and the more expensive entrees--both were high quality and prepared perfectly. Our wonder waiter, Derrick, took great care of us and gave us information for local activities. We will go back every time we visit Greenville.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great eveningSurrett1VIPDined on 9/3/2014I hosted 10 colleagues for dinner and the evening was a success. Everyone enjoyed their meals, the wine choices were excellent and Caddy was perfection. Kudos to Nantucket for hiring my favorite server from Husk in Charleston. She knows the menu, the wine list and makes the dining experience flawless.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Memorable nightGrandmaof4Dined on 9/3/2014We were in Greenville overnight because of an early flight and decided to go to Nantucket on the recommendation of our son-in-law who had recently been there. Both my husband and I thought it was an amazing meal....one of the best I've ever had! We had an outstanding waiter, tooSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rick Irwins NantucketEricLizDined on 9/2/2014Greenville is a vibrant little town with many restaurants, and this one is definitely one of the best. Friendly service and solid food. Would recommend it. They also have a corkage policy!Special Features:
- A Courtyard surpriseStationguyDined on 8/31/2014Don't let the Marriott Courtyard address fool you - a great resturant in the heart of downtown (and the hotel is very good too!)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What Happen????? Off Night???DDAYDined on 8/31/2014We have been to Nantucket Seafood numerous times enjoying our dining experience every time in the past. The dining experience for me with gumbo soup and entree of surf and turf were great The crab cake was just right. My wife had the lobster stuffed with crab. The crab stuffing was too salty and the lobster had been overcooked to the point of being tough. Our dessert - the key lime pie tasted as if a squirt of artificial lime juice had been added to the sweetened condensed milk and served. The Happy Anniversary cookie they brought us tasted of freezer burn. Sad to see a place we have enjoyed in the past drop the ball.Special Features:
- Not as impressed with brunchnanadinesoutDined on 8/31/2014We went for Sunday brunch. The restaurant was nearly empty. Some or our party enjoyed their meals -- mostly lunch items. I had breakfast and was not impressed. Service was very spotty. Drink items were incorrect and we had to request items that were missing from two separate plates. We have had dinner here before and enjoyed it very much. I was not impressed with the brunch menu or food.Special Features:
- ExcellentfoodluvrDined on 8/30/2014I've never had a bad experience here. The food is delicious and the service is wonderful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dinnerscwaterfallsDined on 8/30/2014Being a repeat customer, it was great to see that the level of quality in both food and service remains at the top of the order on the Greenville dining scene.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Under parNiteout7Dined on 8/29/2014This dinner was not up to the high standards of the Nantucket.Service was poor ,wife s dinner was just ok...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary treatLuvtwoeatDined on 8/28/2014The restaurant honored our request to have our seating arrangements already made and wished the couple we were treating a happy anniversary. We ate off the foodie festival week menu. Plenty of food. Enjoyable time.Special Features:
- Foodie Fest VisitTheaterGoerDined on 8/27/2014The four of us skipped over the $30 Foodie Fest menu and went straight to the slightly higher priced offerings because they featured the "Surf & Turf." The lobster tail was a little bland, but other than that -- high fives all around. Wine list had something for everyone. Our waitress, Hannah, was prompt, courteous, and informative. Dessert was tasty and a fine finish. Atmosphere perfect for an elegant early dinner. We shall return!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pretty downtown destinationScdinerVIPDined on 8/26/2014Located in the Marriott Courtyard with a great bar area, nice view of the landscaped courtyard and spacious dining rooms. Love the she crab soup and crab cakes. Even tho this is a seafood restaurant Nantucket does not overlook the rest of menuSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NantucketTapiBearDined on 8/26/2014Rick finally did one right. His food here was superb and just about enjoyed every moment here in his restaurant. The front of the house receptionist seems a bit tense and unhappy though, but that would surely be my only complaint.Special Features:
- DisappointedRoscoeDined on 8/25/2014I ordered the pork tenderloin, don't. I can honestly say worst I have ever had. I guess there is a lot of truth in not going out to eat on Mondays.
- ST14Dined on 8/24/2014Great Food. Great Service. Pricey, but worth it for a special occasion. Kind of an old school glamour to the restaurant and loved the music. Very classy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful SeafoodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014My husband and I enjoyed an evening out without kids. The food was amazing! Great seafood choices for a restaurant in the upstate. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/23/2014Atmosphere and music a little too "fancy" for our taste. We'll try Rick Erwin's Grille next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014This was our first time to visit Rick Erwin's Nantucket. Our server, Adam, was delightful, the food was great, atmosphere good; the young servers who brought bread, filed our water glasses, etc. were so gracious. My husband and I enjoyed our night out during "Foodie Fest."Special Features:
- Best Seafood in GreenvilleRAK74Dined on 8/22/2014Always a treat to return to Nantucket, you cannot find better seafood in Greenville. Our party of 4 each had the Shrimp & Grits, Salmon, Mountain Trout & Surf & Turf with no one being disappointed. Large quantities, prepared to one's liking and outstanding service. Can't wait for our next dinner there.Special Features:
- Halibut EntreeKaliDined on 8/21/2014The Halibut Entree with the fresh corn risotto which was featured as a chef's feature, was one of the most excellent that I have ever had.Special Features:
- Third complaint/bad meal in a rowGlider108Dined on 8/20/2014The evening started with a delicious cup of she-crab soup for me and a small Caesar salad for my wife. My wife ordered a bowl of gumbo that was tasty. My meal of 4 small scallops and asparagus however was cold. If I wasn't so darn hungry, I would have sent it back. On top of that, the Hollandaise sauce that I asked to have on the side was cold as well. When I tried to pour some out, it plopped onto my plate in a coagulated blob. I had to use my fork to try and carve off a little bit. This is the third complaint or bad meal in a row that I have had at one of Rick Erwin's restaurants (although I have had lots of good ones). I will most likely be shying away from his places going forward and the reason I gave it a "Fair" rating.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/17/2014Unfortunately, I am providing my first bad review thru Open Table. My food was served cold. Not cool, but cold. After waiting for the server, he returned it and delivered my hot meal. This was after my wife finished her meal. There was no adjustment or real apology. After I said something else upon leaving, the server he apologized. I doubt I will return. A restaurant such as Rick Erwin's should provide more.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dinnerLocal505Dined on 8/16/2014We had a great dinner, we eat late which is. It the norm for us but it was all good.Special Features:
- Family favoriteLynnVIPDined on 8/16/2014Dining at Nantucket was a wonderful experience, as usual. The service by Keon King was exceptional; he is so personable. Our reservation was for 8:30 and there was an unusual wait time of an hour to receive our dinner. First, I will say that the bread and olive oil/vinegar are to die for! My son and I got the swordfish dinner and the scallops, respectively. This was his first swordfish and he was delighted. The squash that came with it was way too salty, however, so it was not edible. I enjoyed the scallops with asparagus and but the side of corn risotto was excessively thick and gummy; too much cheese and too little corn flavor. (The chef needs to get Breakwater's recipe!) Overall, it was a nice experience, but a few changes could be made.Special Features:
- StanDined on 8/16/2014Rick is always a gracious host. He came over twice to speak to us and make sure we were alright.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- My FaveLizluvsgoodfoodDined on 8/15/2014Superb atmosphere and all-around great food. This is honestly one if my favorite restaurants in existence! They have delicious seafood, steak, and even a scrumptious chicken dish. Also, their desserts are a perfect way to finish off a great meal. I would definitely recommend Nantucket's!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noise FactorLarkinsontheRiverDined on 8/15/2014Unfortunately, there was toddler sitting right next to us with her parents. The very small child was too young to be in this very nice restaurant. She was impatient and ready to be fed & leave. Her parents had to get up on numerous occasions to get her because she would run off. She cried and was sort of interrupting an otherwise very romantic dinner with my wife. Recommendation - maybe the host (hostess) could be mindful of where she/he might sit a couple who would prefer to be in a quieter area with others who want to enjoy a relaxing, romantic evening (without small children).Special Features:
- Above AverageYUMMY1989Dined on 8/12/2014Nantucket Seafood is always spot-on, in the Rick Erwin tradition. Seafood is always fresh, reliably cooked to the requested temperature and always a nice presentation. The wine list is notable. I recommend this restaurant for business entertaining, special family events and for a romantic evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SCBinADined on 8/11/2014Excellent dining experience. Food and service outstanding!Special Features:
- BobLDined on 8/9/2014Excellent food and service. Noise level started out acceptable (7pm) but was very "energetic" by 8pm. Go early to enjoy the ambience and great food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent 1st Time VisitEdithDined on 8/9/2014First time dining here. Excellent experience. Service and atmosphere both were great. Our server, Keon, was only 2 months into the job and did a fantastic job serving my husband and I. Food was excellent as well. Would definitely recommend to others and we will certainly make the 45 trip again from Clinton SC to dine here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Show time!ShowgoerDined on 8/8/2014The service staff was efficient but apparently the kitchen staff had some issues getting our food out in a timely fashion.We had six o'clock reservations, our food arrived at seven thirty-five and we had an eight o'clock curtain. The food was delicious but not enough time to enjoy it. The staff was helpful in they allowed us to return after the show to pay the bill.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Pretty place that left a BAD Taste!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/3/2014We had reservations for Sunday brunch before a show at the Peace Center. The hostess asked if we wanted to sit outside or the bar then reluctantly offered the dining room. As this was a special occasion, my girlfriend's birthday, we wanted to enjoy the lovely dining room. The table options she gave us were near the restroom or a table not at a window and when we inquired about the open tables near the window she said that she had a reservation coming in for them, we chose a table with a partially obstructed view. Our waiter never offered the wine list or specials. He wasn't attentive or helpful. He wasn't quite rude but he certainly didn't make us feel valued or welcome. Inconsistent service at best. We will not return.Special Features:
