Great staff! Rosa kept the room beautiful. Gaston was great at making sure everyone was happy and things were running smoothly. Freddy was so friendly and helpful. Everyone wanted to make sure our stay was great... And they succeeded! Great pool area! Great croissants and breakfast in general! Also a huge bonus to have a ride offered daily 10:30 when we went) to eagle or palm beach!
This was still good for us but some may not like the 15 min stroll to get to town if you don't want to get a car. We didn't mind and enjoyed taking in the scenery on the way (mainly residential, a convince shop just a block or so over) but some may want to rent a car.
The grounds and the service
A little hard to find at first.
Quiet, clean rooms, centrally located to downtown
Beautiful grounds, awesome pool Great breakfast, nicely decorated and great air-conditioning
I loved the breakfast time. The coffee was excellent and the food was plenty. I like the location close to downtown and the ride Gaston gave us to the beach was highly welcomed. The room was comfortable for two people.
There was some noise at dawn because of neighbor's dogs barking
nothing really
far from the town and very few people helping you solve little problem like order food to the hotel since it was far for a walk to the town
The srevice and the kindness of the staff
the many dogs in the surrounding houses, are barking frequently in the night and especially very early in the morning, and that wakes you up.
The place is absolutely beautiful
Area around where is located
The personal touches and the peace and quiet away from the busy beachfront areas.
Absolutely noyhibg
The service was excellent.Gaston is an extraordinary host
The neighborhood around the hotel looks a bit run down
Gustauv was an excellent host. He fixed the minor details, such as separating the double into 2 single beds for my daughter and I. He was very helpful with directions and advice. Not a hotel problem but, beware in Aruba that street signs are few which makes it difficult, without GPS,finding your way if you rent a car! The ambiance of Wonders Boutique is outstanding! We will always book there when visiting Aruba!
All I can think of is maybe putting some clothes hanger hooks inside the bathroom door. That would be helpful.
There is nothing to complaiin. Breakfast was great. Gaston and other staff were very helpful all the time
Staff is really attentive... I had a great time...
Wonderful staff, wonderful hotel. The hotel is the perect place to stay. I short 15 minute walk to the downtown area. A 5 minute walk to the gorcery store. The owner is so helpful. This is a gem of a place to stay at.
I would have liked to see a desk in the room or at least a larger table to set the lap top on and to some work.
This was a delightful place to stay on my two visits to Aruba. The facilities are great, very tastefully decorated and the staff very helpful.
Excellent location
A wonderfully safe and secure place that is a 17 minute leisurely walk away from downtown Oranjestad. Very friendly and attentive staff especially Mr. Gaston Verlaan (owner/manager) whom made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived until our last day. This little hidden gem is a great spot for the none "touristy" tourist like us and we would highly recommend it.
The construction noise early weekday mornings during our stay. Which made us rate the comfort level GOOD instead of EXCELLENT.
It was quit place. Relax and good service.
The room Breakfast
The pool area in the back of Wonders is nice and peaceful. Gaston also makes a great breakfast. He couldn't have made me feel more at home.
The staff gave us great recommendations on local restaurants and car rental. The breakfast was very good and a great value.
This is a wonderful piece of paradise. Beautiful green gardens with chaise lounges surrounding a small pool. The owners are attentive and the food (breakfast only) is good. I'd highly recommend this establishment.
the staff was very helpful with advice on where to eat. A local car rental agency was recommended and they picked me up at the hotel which was very convenient and saved us a lot of time and money.
The hotel is in a neighborhood and there a few dogs that start their day a little early.
The Wonders property is gorgeous and private. Gaston is helpful and gracious, lending us many items like snorkeling gear and towels that really made our trip easy and fun. The accommodations were extraordinary and we recommend this place highly.
The only nuisance was that occasionally we would be woken up by stray dogs barking in the neighborhood. There are so many rogue animals in Aruba I would imagine this is a problem for many/all resorts not directly on the water.

In the past few years I've seen more and more build your own pedal kits hit the market. Intrigued, I still had a fear of commitment. What happens if I drop $60 on complicated delay pedal and screw it up? I'm out $60 AND a pedal. Or worse off I have a pedal that works…some of the time.
The Thunderdrive by Modkitsdiy.com was an excellent choice to get my feet wet and not plunk down a ton of money on my first kit. For under $30 I had everything I needed to build this pedal minus tools and a 9 volt battery. Shipping was speedy and I opened the box to see everything was there; an enclosure, knobs, pots, a switch, jacks, electrical components and a very helpful booklet with instructions, pictures and a quick soldering tips guide.
Tools Needed
Soldering Iron (Mine is a 40 watt iron from Sears. I suggest starting with a clean, fine tip)
Wire Strippers (the pedal came with a generous amount of 22 gauge wire)
Standard Phillips head scredriver
Pliers to tighten jacks and pots.
The Build
First step was to mount all the interior hardware. Pretty straightforward. I sort of cheated by reading ahead and removed my terminal strip and pre-soldered the components so I wouldn't have to work in the tight compartment.
Then I stayed 100% on the directions so as to not screw anything up. My only misfire was a leg of a resistor was touching a terminal that it shouldn't have. I suggest taking your time and highlighting the steps in the build you've already completed. I finished the pedal in about two half hour segments.
Here she is! OK I'm by no means a pro, you'll notice a nice burn mark on the red lead of the battery plug. They include a thin strip of tolex to sit between the footswitch and the battery. This is essential or you could short out the pedal.
The kit included the sticker and the black knobs. You can easily give the box some flare of your own like some paint, custom Sharpie labeling or placing the sticker just a hair off center, OK I just wanted to get the pedal working! As with all pedals, unplug them when they are not in use, otherwise you will drain the battery.
Let's Hear It!
Nothing fancy, just a few clips with a Gibson SG into an Orange combo amp mic'd with an SM57 into my computer.
Clean – To give you an idea of the unaffected guitar sound.
12 O'clock – Both Volume and Distortion at noon.
Volume Boosted – Where I think the pedal shines sort of mocks a Tubescreamer.
Distortion Boosted – If you need things to get fuzzier than a drunk's memory of last weekend it'll do it!
If you're DIY savvy then this kit is a great way to test your skills. Some basic soldering skills will give you a jump start, but everything else is pretty well explained in the booklet.

"On any person who desires such queer prizes, New York will bestow the gift of loneliness and the gift of privacy."
E.B. White, Here is New York
I'm nearing my first decade in New York and I never actually read the full E.B. White essay until a few days ago—which is funny because E.B. White moved to a part of Maine that's near and dear to my heart and I've had a few encounters with his descendants (who're some of the most talented boat builders in the world).
Somehow, White's essay is gestating in my brain and made more pregnant by listening to the audiobook of Matthew Crawford's Shopclass as Soulcraft on a recent drive. Crawford's book is what you get when someone from the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago takes an Aristotelean argument to the case for working with your hands, excellence, and how it binds communities together.
I'm not exactly sure if this love child between New York and wrenching on motorcycles will be well-formed or still-born, but it's one of those times when a bunch of things have definitely collided in my brain.
"A notebook is basically the creative equivalent of the NFL jersey you picked up at Macy's; unless you fill it with a lot of hard work and sacrifices, you're just a dilettante with poor spending patterns. An aspiring something. A fan of the game. An existential cosplayer. And, that's not what I want to help you to be. Even if you really love Moleskines or the Raiders, God love 'em."

West African Vegetable and Peanut Stew
Okra, which is a staple in West African cooking, is a great vegetable to freeze because, unlike commercially frozen okra, it doesn't become mushy.
Yield: 4
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Madras curry powder
- One 14-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped, with their liquid
- 4 cups water or canned low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 2 cups frozen whole okra or 6 ounces fresh whole okra
- 1 cup frozen green beans or 1/4 pound fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch lengths
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped salted peanuts
- Lime wedges, for serving
- 1. Heat the oil in a large enameled cast-iron casserole. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeños and ginger and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until the onion is lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant and lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the casserole. Whisk in the water and peanut butter, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cook over moderately high heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
- 2. Add the sweet potatoes and carrots, cover partially and cook over moderately low heat until the vegetables are just tender, about 20 minutes. Add the okra and green beans, cover partially and cook until all the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer the stew to 4 deep bowls and serve hot. Pass the cilantro, peanuts and lime wedges at the table.
- Make Ahead: The stew can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over moderately low heat.
- Serve With: Steamed rice.
- Wine Recommendation: This dish has a hint of spiciness that would be complemented best by an aromatic, dry-style Steen from South Africa, such as the 1999 Simonsig Stellenbosch or the 1999 Landskroon.

The Radiator Cap Solution
- Sunday, August 15, 2004
I remember an old car I used to own. You know the kind, ratty and raggedy, driven when I was a poor college student. I was having trouble with something I couldn't readily identify myself, so I took it into the shop.
The mechanic looked at it a couple of minutes and said, "What you really need is the radiator cap solution."
"Oh," I said, trying not to sound too confused. "Do you mean the radiator cap isn't holding enough pressure?"
"That's part of the problem" he said. "What you really need to do is lift the radiator cap and drive another car under it. Then the next day you can replace the radiator cap, and it should solve your problem."

The rundown of our most memorable Premier League games continues.
Related Links
In a bid to discover the Club's most memorable games of the Premier League's 20 seasons, we asked fans to vote in an exclusive poll on evertonfc.com. Today, our countdown from 20 to one continues with another Goodison trip Manchester United fans will want to forget...
EVERTON 3-1 Manchester United, 20 February 2010
(Bilyaletdinov 19, Gosling 75, Rodwell 90)
Att: 39,448
Youngsters Dan Gosling and Jack Rodwell were the super-sub heroes as Everton wrapped up a second momentous home win in less than a fortnight.
Twenty-year-old Gosling - last season's Merseyside derby hero - emerged from the bench as a second-half replacement for Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and promptly put his side 2-1 up against the title chasers.
Rodwell, two years his junior, then stepped on for Steven Pienaar and drove powerfully through midfield to put a serious dent in United's hopes of a record 19th title.
The Old Trafford outfit's only consolation is that David Moyes' continually improving side were equally efficient in putting their nearest rivals Chelsea to the sword at Goodison 10 days ago. Once again, the Scot's faith in youth appears to be paying dividends.
Yet, it had all started so well for the visitors. Dimitar Berbatov's clinical finish on 15 minutes had given Sir Alex Ferguson's men the lead and a 13th win in 16 trips to this particular part of Merseyside appeared forthcoming.
Yet, the Bulgarian's effort was immediately cancelled out by Bilyaletdinov's left-foot bullet – and then came the call for the cavalry.
Just 38 years between them, they left a goalkeeper of 39 helpless.

"We don't have a massive squad but what it does do is allow young players to get opportunities and I can imagine how those two boys will feel now - coming on and scoring goals against Manchester United is something they won't forget in a hurry." - David Moyes
"I can't really take it because I've only come on for five minutes or whatever. The credit has to go to the lads who worked their socks off today." - Jack Rodwell on receiving the Man of the Match award
"We looked really tired. In the second half they were the better team, it's as simple as that." - Sir Alex Ferguson
- 'Everybody Hurts', a charity single to raise money for the victims of the Haiti earthquake, tops the UK singles chart. Artists including Rod Stewart, Michael Buble, Gary Barlow, Robbie Williams and Jon Bon Jovi sing on the record.
- Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili, who was killed in a training accident at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, is buried in his hometown of Bakuriani.
- Golfer Tiger Woods makes a public apology after a series of extramarital affairs become public knowledge.
- Thousands of people take to the streets of Niamey, Niger, in celebration of a military coup and overthrowing of president Mamadou Tandja.
- Everton lost their next two games, exiting the Europa League to Sporting Lisbon before slipping to a narrow defeat at Spurs.
- A 5-1 thrashing of Hull City soon got the Blues back on track and they ended the campaign in eighth.
- This defeat proved costly for Manchester United - Chelsea pipped Sir Alex Ferguson's men to the title by just a single point.

Pamela Lehman The Allentown Morning Call
ALLENTOWN, Penn. — As Lehigh University officers sailed across the sidewalk on purring electric scooters, a man hung his head out the window of a passing pickup truck and pointed his finger: "Dude, check it out!" he hooted. "How cool is that?"
That's exactly the reaction campus police are hoping the department's new Segways and three-wheel scooters will evoke with students, staff and visitors. Officers debuted two new Segways and a T3 Motion scooter during the Dalai Lama's visit in July and the vehicles will be used to patrol all areas of the campus.

EL PASO — A man was detained after refusing a traffic stop and speeding from police at 100mph in a 40mph speed limit area. A police officer observed 30-year-old Scott Fanter making unsafe lane changes and failing to signal on Dyer Street.
The officer attempted to stop Fanter, however he refused to stop and also turned off his headlights while the officer was attempting to stop him. A second police unit observed the vehicle as it approached the intersection of Transmountain. Once Fanter observed the second police unit he turned the vehicle on to Transmountain and stopped.
The officers then placed Fanter under arrest for Evading Arrest or Detention with a Motor Vehicle.

The means of a student are never going to be mistaken for those of a Monte Carlo plutocrat, even if many students do their level best to live beyond those means. This leads to short- and long-term debts, cold sweats every time a utility bill comes in and blind panic when rent is due. It doesn't have to be this way at all, though. Even if the most obvious money-saving tips seem unlikely to make a big difference to your pecuniary situation, you'd be genuinely surprised to find that when combined, tried-and-tested tips really will leaven your load and fill up your coffers. Read on for some of the best ones.
Get the best deals
Students can't really get by in the modern world without broadband – but this costs, like anything else, so you need to ensure you get the best deal available. Student Broadband from Virgin Media will furnish you with a 9-month contract that can be used not just on your computer, but also your phone, tablet, console etc. Servicing and repairs are thrown in for free, too, so you can scarcely go wrong with this deal.
Get a student discount card
It would make little sense to be without one of these. You need to be a member of the NUS (and can you afford not to be?) and then you can acquire a card at a cost of £12. Thus armed, you can get discounts of between 10 per cent and 50 per cent (seriously) at high street favourites such as New Look and Superdrug as well as Odeon Cinemas and Amazon.
Get the best overdraft
You'll always meet a smug fellow student who loftily announces they haven't taken out an overdraft, but it won't be long before they do: it's practically an essential of student life. You need to find one without charges, ideally, and get the maximum amount you can – and preferably one that will last the entirety of your degree.
Downshift on food
The concept of 'dropping down a brand' then seeing if you really can taste the difference is something that's really caught on. If you can't, so the logic goes, then stick with the cheaper brand. You could even drop right down to the economy ranges, which, in truth, are in some cases (though certainly not all) as decent and tasty as the higher-priced versions. All you have to lose is your snobbery.
Don't get a credit card or store cards
Despite what you might think, a credit card isn't in any way essential for a student. While there persists an idea that they're 'good to have in an emergency' you might find that the definition of 'emergency' suddenly and regularly stretches to include 'night on the razz' or 'shopping spree up West.' Store cards are worse – despite offering an initial discount to draw you in, they then go on to charge interest of up to 30 per cent. Avoid.
Save, save, save
There are other many and varied ways to pile up the cash and avoid getting into debts at all: use both the university and local libraries for much-needed texts; buy household items from charity shops; save all your shrapnel – both copper and silver – in a jar; look into council tax discounts; save on energy and water by switching of lights in all rooms but the one you're in and switching off non-essential sockets when they're not in use; don't waste water if yours is metred and, finally and most obviously: get a part-time job.
By following even just a few of the above tips, you'll soon see the difference in your finances. By following more and developing such things into habits, you might even end up . . . solvent.

text: FAIRBANKS- During the Elders and Youth Conference, the two key note speakers encouraged everyone to learn from the past to create a good future. The elder keynote speaker, Larry Chercasen, spoke of great challenges growing up. During World War II, he was sent to an Aleut internment camp for three years. Despite unfair treatment, he is inspired by his ancestors' abilities to adapt to a globalized world. The youth Key note speaker, Nelson Kanuk, spoke about the threat of climate change and working to find a better balance with the earth. He compared elder knowledge to a vital resource to learn from. "Take that resource that you have now, that resource that you have in reach while it's still there because without their knowledge, how do we know who we are?" Kanuk said.

I know many readers of this site are in college, saw the title of this article, and exclaimed, "I don't need a guide, I'm never leaving college. NEVER!" Listen up Peter Pan, I'll begin by crushing your dreams of being that husky, balding, 27-year-old creep hanging around the frat house claiming to be a magician who makes passed out chicks disappear. That guy already exists and is unhappily doing time in a Nashville slammer.
Thus, ultimately you're going to join the real world (what I like to call Never Never-Get-A-Job Land) and eventually you will make the trek back to your former college, expecting to be greeted with an alliterative fanfare of booze and boobies. (Much like this website's Pictures section, except hopefully the boobies have heads.) So here are some "RE "s to re-mind you how to act.
Return Like your haphazard life, don't plan anything; go on a whim! Maybe it'll be a Friday night after your mom threw away your best porno mag and your pop caught you smoking, and he said, "No way!" And you're like, "That fucking hypocrite smokes TWO packs a day." Also, if your dad looks and acts like a white Carl Winslow, he's totally like my dad.
Response Prepare to be bombarded by a chorus of, "Didn't you graduate?" People will not make the intuitive leap that you're visiting because your real world life consists of sharing a room with your little brother, getting bossed around by white Carl Winslow and sipping Rolling Rocks with 35-year old coworkers who think they're cool by calling you "dawg" and bragging about the Chingy song on their faggy mini iPod. Therefore, have a witty response when asked if you graduated. I'm not going to tell you what to say, but I will tell you a punch in the face really gets a point across. Oh, and answering with a phrase like "Graduating in five years is like leaving a party at 10 o'clock, dude" will have you leaving the party at 10 o'clock. With a punch. In the face.
Reunion This will follow right after people ask if you graduated. Reuniting with some people is cool, for example, I enjoyed sucking face with my former college love: Elle McFunnelson. But beware of the exclamations, hugs and awkwardly inappropriate butt slaps from every other ass-hat you drunkenly bump into.
Readjust This was particularly hard for me. Since leaving college, my last big social bender was a summer office party. What's an office party like, you ask? Picture your grandfather with a raging boner; it's awkward! Imagine a family reunion where your drunk and crusty aunts hit on you and invite you to "explore the experienced side of the company." Therefore, when released back into the wild, expect to go into berserker mode. Planning ahead, I'd recommend slapping a Hannibal Lector mask on your face. I found after chugging my second beer, that voice from NBA Jam started egging me on, proclaiming, "He's heating up!" By my third, I was streaking around campus, trailed by a wake of fire.
Rebel Rebel How could they know? Hot tramp, I love you so!
Rejoice! You're back, welcomed, adjusted and sick of my late-"'80s/early-"'90s song references. Only thing left to do is paint the town awesome. Regardless of what you majored in while in college, now that you graduated, your major is embarrassing yourself. So get out there and spread some real world life like you'll later be spreading the legs of a freshman floozy. Good luck fathering/mothering/leaving-on-a-doorstep-and-running some illegitimate children!

This course is not too difficult. The majority of the holes are flat and varied. Furthermore, the microclimate of Sitges, located on the Mediterranean coast, means that you can play with sunshine and good weather some 300 days a year. The first and last holes are the course's most difficult. A stream and four small lakes give water an important role on the course, and the trees that border the fairways make some strokes more complicated.

Is not our national disaster ministry /department who ever may be is very much lagging behind . They can not evacuate people, arrange shelter, water , food in time in case of natural calamity?
Why they do not have sufficient infrastructures ? Army , BSF etc are used who are not for this purpose. Why it is so?

The Departments are OK, but given Indians\' habit of keeping up time....it\'s not the best thing 4 a disaster like situation. If \"Indian Standard Time\" wasn\'t enough, by the time the aid gets cleared from PM Desk to the actual disaster site, about 90% of resources are swindled away.Answered by A Moin, 27 May '09 01:53 pm

The symptoms of cancer in children depend on the location of the tumour. If you notice a change in your child´s body, visit your GP. Symptoms can include:
Remember these symptoms are similar to many other conditions that are not cancer. Talk to your GP if you are concerned.
Testing for cancer when you have no symptoms is called screening. There is no children´s cancer screening programme in Ireland or anywhere in the world at present. If you are concerned about cancer in your child, talk to your GP.
First, visit your GP if you are worried about any symptoms. If your doctor has concerns about your child, he or she will refer them to a hospital. There your child will see a specialist who may arrange more tests. Your child may need some of the following tests:
Biopsy: Here a sample of tissue is removed and examined under a microscope in the lab. A biopsy helps your doctor to diagnose the disease.
Blood test: Blood tests can check the number of blood cells and if organs like the kidney and liver are working properly.
Bone Marrow test: A bone marrow biopsy examines the inside of the bone marrow. This is where all the different types of blood cells are made.
Lumbar puncture: A lumbar puncture removes a sample of fluid from around the spinal cord.
X–rays: X-rays allow your doctor to look inside the body and check for any abnormal changes.
Ultrasound scan: An ultrasound scan uses sound waves to build up a picture of the tissues inside your body. It is like the scan used for pregnant women.
These scans can help to stage the cancer. This means finding out the size of the cancer and if it has spread anywhere else. This can help your doctor to decide on the right treatment for you.

Everything you need to know ahead of our Boxing Day game.
When Sunderland visit Goodison Park on Boxing Day there will be plenty going on - and not just on the pitch!
Of course, watching the Blues attempt to secure three vital festive points - and potentially go top of the Barclays Premier League table - is the main attraction.
But, around the ground and inside the stadium, there will be plenty of activities taking place both before and after the game to enhance your matchday experience.
|There will be fun in the Fan Zone in the build-up to kick-off, with plenty of music, guests and giveaways, plus outlets to grab a bite to eat prior to the game.
The facility will also be in operation after the full-time whistle, with 1987 title-winner Ian Snodin providing expert analysis of what has hopefully been an Everton victory!
|The Players' Parade will once again be in operation, allowing supporters to get autographs and pictures with their favourite Everton players.
Situated towards the Bullens Road side of the Park End car park, players usually arrive from around two-and-a-half hours before kick-off. Kick off is at 3pm.
|Inside the stadium, fans can look out for highlights of past wins over Sunderland, including the incredible 7-1 in 2007/08, and also another showing of our popular Christmas video 'Bring Me Sunshine'.
|The matchday programme is again packed from cover to cover. Eighty-four pages of high-quality content includes a feature interview with James McCarthy, a chat with former Toffee David Ginola and a poster of wing wizard Kevin Mirallas.
As ever, there are also updates from manager Roberto Martinez and captain Phil Jagielka and copies of the publication are available to download here or to buy before the game from sellers in and around the stadium.
|Finally, the evertontv cameras will be lingering inside and out to speak to supporters and beam your views onto the big screens - and you can use #EFCSAFC to get your social media comments and images on too.
Tickets for the festive visits of Sunderland and Southampton have sold out.
It's not too late to secure your seat for the FA Cup visit of QPR however. To buy, click here or call 0871 663 1878.
Alternatively, visit the Park End Box Office at Goodison Park, Everton Two in Liverpool One or TicketQuarter in Queen Square.

"A Blessed Advent to You," by Timothy Cardinal Dolan - The Gospel in the Digital Age
The Jesse Tree - The Jesse Tree is an enduring Advent tradition that illustrates the genealogy of Jesus through events in salvation history. It is fittingly an Advent catechetical tool because it helps review the plan of God that culminates in the birth of Jesus. Although Jesse Trees can be created in the shape of a Christmas tree by children, our medieval ancestors used a variety of media including ivory, illustrations, and stained glass to teach both children and adults about the "family tree" of Jesus, and ultimately about God's providence. Now catechetical leaders from across the Archdiocese of New York have prepared this Jesse Tree for your inspiration using the Internet. We invite you to make it a part of your Advent preparation to visit our Jesse Tree and reflect on the ancestors of Jesus Christ, the son of Adam, the son of God. (Luke 3:37).

After living in LA for a couple months, thoughts on the differences between the West Coast and East Coast?
The most notable differences are the weather and the general attitude. It was 84°F yesterday, on January 4. We went rollerblading on the beach the day before Halloween. After coming back from visiting family in New Jersey over the holidays, where it was in the 20s, we went hiking on January 1 in Topanga State Park in t-shirts. I grew up in Seattle, where it was drizzle and gray every day for the first 16 years of my life, and then spent more than a decade on the east coast where it was snowing and windy and freezing for half of the year and humid as all hell for the other half, so Los Angeles has been a godsend.
Attitude-wise, this place is the polar opposite of New York. People are almost too nice. They say hello to you on the street, they know how to stand in lines without cutting you off, no one is trying to screw you out of something at any moment, it's pretty clean and everyone seems fairly genuine. It was hard to get used to at first.

Retro Game Challenge (DS)
Buried in its endless summer is the fact that Retro Game Challenge is seriously bizarre.
Retro game collections are a familiar sight: On store shelves, anthologies from Atari, SNK, Namco and Sega mix with the games du jour like repackaged leftovers. Decades-old games like Pac-Man, Dig-Dug and Sonic the Hedgehog are served up in bulk; they're still fun, and a lot cheaper than they used to be. But there's an awkward distance between the budget-priced collections and the new, maybe because years of design innovations sit between them.
Retro Game Challenge isn't a collection of old games; it's a game in which you play as a kid who's been sent back in time to replay the games of his youth. These games never actually existed -- they've been newly built to recreate the feeling of discovering, as a kid in the 1980s, how a new game worked and how it could be beaten.
There's a (very Japanese) plot to help justify this elaborate conceit. A man named Arino is terrible at "current-gen" games. From his gaming impotence spawns the cackling, crown-wearing Game Master Arino, a shamed soul that resides as data in every gamer's Nintendo DS. Like a ghost of otaku past, he snatches DS owners back in time, where they have to face a series of challenges involving the games of their youth -- games like Cosmic Gate, a Galaga clone; Guadia Quest, a slow-burning JRPG; retro racer Rally King; the cheeky action-platformer Robot Ninja Haggleman; and my favorite, Star Prince, a vertical-scrolling shmup.
You have a friend with you, and it's Arino as a child. He watches you play every game, cheering when you do well ("Dude!") and commiserating ("Oh, man.") when you don't. He also makes fun of you, gets bored when you hit the pause button or flounder in a game, and fends off his nosy mom. He even lets you read his issues of GameFan magazine for exclusive videogame cheats and previews. (The cheats work, but they still feel dirty.) Playing Retro Game Challenge is sitting with little Arino, his television and his Famicom in his room on the bottom screen, while playing one of his games on the top. Game Master Arino hands you challenges (get 15,000 points in Rally King; beat Floor 4 in Haggleman without shooting; etc.) to complete in eight different games that you play in sequence.
Each is a full game with a beginning and end. After you complete all four of a game's challenges, you unlock its Freeplay, which allows you to play the game at your leisure. You also unlock the next game -- which involves suddenly being transported to the day of its release. One minute you're enjoying a game with Arino; the next, you've been hurtled months or years into the future, while Arino himself hardly bats an eye.
There's a sadness to the unstoppable passage of time in Retro Game Challenge, and the Game Master character is downright dark. I started to wish it were more of an actual retro game collection than a meta-narrative. But Kyle Orland, peering over my shoulder last week as I was blasting foes in Star Prince, saved me from the brink of navel-gazing.
"Did you unlock the new Rally King yet?" he asked.
I said no without looking up, sharing in his anticipation and realizing that I was really enjoying myself.
Retro Game Challenge's very fine quality is in its details. Each of its imagined games is a flawless and uncanny evocation of the 8-bit era. That's what separates them from other modern-day, retro-themed games that don't have as firm a grip on the past. You endure countless waves of aliens in Cosmic Gate whose patterns change in precisely the right increments. You jump from enemy to enemy in Haggleman, not because it's simply what you do, but because it feels compulsively fun. You talk to blithe non-player characters in Guadia Quest who somehow aren't too fazed by the doom that has befallen the world. You gape as your ship in Star Prince transforms into its powered-up version. You wish you hadn't bought Rally King. (It goes without saying that the 8-bit soundtracks are pitch-perfect.)
In other words, the games haven't changed a bit. And even though the tatami mats and sliding screens render Arino's room distinctly Japanese, it evokes powerful memories. It's the way the Famicom sits innocently in front of the TV, the way your little self scrambles on hands and feet to grab a game or magazine off the shelf, the way Arino sprawls lazily on his side to watch you play.
Gameplay moments trigger all the correct responses from Arino. Create your first warp gate in Cosmic Gate, and Arino says, "Ohhh." Let a bonus slip by in Rally King and he moans, "You missed it?" Stumble upon a secret passage in Haggleman 3 and he says, "Interesting!"
Okay -- the kid's dubbed exclamations sound forced, and they briefly snap you out of Retro Game Challenge's hypnotic spell. You feel that someone -- the designer, betrayed by the English localizer -- is pulling one over you, especially once Arino starts repeating himself unknowingly as you play and replay.
But it isn't hard to fall back into Game Master Arino's embrace. The maddening little games and Achievements -- I mean, challenges -- quickly make you forget where and who you are. What you know is that you become as doggedly persistent and carefree as your 7-year-old self. Maybe that isn't a function of age. Maybe it's games that have changed a lot, and not you.
Like the Game Master, Retro Game Challenge is obsessive, sealing you in a time capsule so tight that its fully contemporary trappings barely ever escape. Compare it to the retro gaming nostalgia that's spread all over the Internet -- on archival sites like YouTube, where fuzzy bits of the past (classic game intros, boss battles, speed runs and ROM hacks like M. Bison spinning his way through Stage 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. ) are there to be collectively admired and remembered fondly, as if from a distance. At point-blank range, Retro Game Challenge aims itself at you, the player, rebuilding your memories right in front of you with a scientist's precision.
Early gamer hype about Retro Game Challenge focused on the fact that its false games aren't just like their real-world counterparts; they're just as good. After playing them for a few minutes, the distinction between the games you actually played and the games you're currently playing begins to blur. Its brilliant move is that Retro Game Challenge tells you a story about your past in order to make history alive, to give you crystalline new memories.
And it doesn't feel cheap like a retro game collection. It, amazingly, feels like the first time, again. But Retro Game Challenge isn't just for people who lived through these experiences in the '80s -- I rarely had the patience to finish games when I was 7 -- it's also for people who never got to, who can now get themselves a fresh start. Game Master Arino's hidden message might be that gaming itself can, too. As much as innovation (technological, visual, conceptual) is prized in a cutting-edge medium like gaming, looking forward isn't much use without a point of view. Retro Game Challenge twists itself arduously through space and time to point out, more profoundly than any other game I can recall, that good ideas have infinite life.
This review is based on a retail copy of the game provided by the publisher.

Businesses primarily cancel their merchant account because they no more need to accept credit cards or because they're switching to a different provider which has offered them lower rates and fees. When a merchant account is cancelled because a business no longer needs to simply accept charge cards, it usually implies that the business has been dissolved and there's no reason to have an account at all. However, cancelling a merchant account to change to another provider that promises lower rates may be more trouble than it's worth - literally.
Check with your overall provider before you cancel your merchant account Competition is the driving force behind the high merchant turnover that exists within the payment card industry. Any small business owner can attest to the high frequency at which they're approached with a merchant account salesperson promising the best rates and fees. With so many offers it's difficult not to investigate several, and many business people just do that. However , they switch to the brand new account without consulting their existing provider.
Merchant providers want to retain clients. It is a lot easier to allow them to keep a current client than it is to get a new one. The same is true from a merchant's point of view. It is a lot easier to possess the rates and fees lowered in your existing merchant account than to cancel the account and open a replacement.
Don't look at the constant flow of new merchant account quotes being an annoyance, instead, view them as a helpful reminder. Each time you're offered credit card merchant account rates which are less than the rates in your existing account, send these to your provider and ask for that they match or beat the better quote. Even if you're inside a contract, many credit card merchant account providers are willing to lower rates and costs to be able to retain your business.
By giving your overall provider a chance to match quotes that you receive, you're getting the advantage of the low rates without the headache of cancelling your exiting merchant account and opening a replacement.
Avoiding cancellation fees when switching merchant accounts So what happens if your existing provider won't match or beat the rates of a competitor? The first thing to do is determine if you're under contract, and if so, just how much the cancellation fee would be to close your credit card merchant account. If you are looking at a sizable fee, there are a couple of things that you can do to prevent paying it entirely.
The very first is to see the relation to your contract. Most cancellation fees are void if your merchant company raises rates or fees within the contract period. If your rates have increased because you originally signed the contract, or since the last time the contact auto-renewed, you might be in a position to cancel your credit card merchant account without having to pay the charge.
In the event that fails, try to pass the cancellation fee along to the new provider that's trying to earn your business. Particularly if you're processing a decent amount of charge cards each month, it may be worth it for that new provider to pay for the right path from your existing account. Surprisingly, this is something that happens on a fairly regular basis. Most providers won't advertise that they'll pay cancellation fees for their competitors, however they is going to do what they can to obtain your business if the numbers work with them.
If all else fails� If you are existing provider is unable or unwilling to meet lower rates and costs promised by a new provider and you can't steer clear of the cancellation fee, ensure that it's worth it to switch accounts. Crunch the numbers to figure out if the lower rates and costs will save you enough to negate the out-of-pocket expense of the cancellation fee.
Make sure the new rates are really better The ultimate and maybe most significant indicate cover before switching merchant services, would be to make sure that the rates and costs promised by a new provider are really much better than what you already have. Especially on a tiered costs, credit card merchant account rates aren't always what they appear to be. The content, "Merchant Account Rates: Tiered VS. Interchange-Plus Pricing" at the MerchantCouncil will help you to get a better understanding of this topic.
