My dear friend,
Relax! I laugh at the mess your boring essay has all over it. Take my advice; revisit Wren&Martin; (heard of such authors? If not, do what you always do using Google), get your basic English Grammar right, re-appear in entrance exams like me and live up to the tag of a B-school student if not a reputed B-school student. Let me help you in a small way
1.When youre already bad, why use jargon and make the deficiency apparent. Keep things simple. Its First THINGS first.
2.Correct spellings are COMPARISON and INSTITUTES. For poor English users like you, MS-Word offers the Spell Check option. Use that at least and improve on your spellings. Or, you had been so enthusiastic or nervous to reply that you were in a hurry. Chill! Youre replying an aspirant ď Š ROFL
3.And in that same line, it is not allowed ON PG. You dont use AT. Let me bring some clarity. At is used to refer a particular place. For example, remember? We used to MAKE SENTENCES in English during Primary school. Let me do that for you.
You say I stay at Hotel Le Royal Meridien. Got it? Please feel free to revert in case of any more queries.
4.And even worse was you saying that with a disclaimer that I was from SIBM Bangalore. Firstly youre a SIBM Bangalore student and that cant be a disclaimer. Maybe you dont take pride in you portraying yourself as a SIBM-B student. Fine! Thats why I quit. But, kindly dont mislead aspirants here. Especially, when you represent the Admissions in a happening and venerable forum like Pagalguy. Coming back, learn the meaning of DISCLAIMER and then use it in sentences. One more correction, dont say I was from SIBM Bangalore. You still are a student there. ROFL. Realized to follow my footsteps of quitting? Then, do that and use past tense. ROFL.
Already, so many mistakes and Im tired of correcting and advising you.
Now, dont try to act over-smart by attempting to find fault in my English grammar in this post. Let me affirm, its absolutely flawless and secondly, I dont take suggestions from people who need to re-visit Wren&Martin.;
Food for thought:
For you: Spend half hour reading the posts of Admission team members from your own sister institutes like SIBM Pune, SCMHRD and SIIB. They write well.
For Admissions Team, SIBM-B: Kindly select students who will do justice to the task assigned. And as far as the above user is concerned, console him if hes disgusted at what hes done by conveying that the learning process is a continuous one however lagging the current state is. He can still make it back here during the GD-PI stage. Till then, let some learning happen ď Š
As communicated earlier,we are organizing the second phase of the City Meets in the form of "Alumini-Fresher Meets".
The meets will be held in the following cities on Saturday,May 21,2011 at 5 pm.The venue in each city will be communicated soon.
So guys gear up..! free your schedules..! Hope to see you there..!
i want to know briefly about M&A; and what different roles an mba degree holder can play in M&A;?
can anyone plzzz help!
If you know that each companies shares profile which the student is expected to work on..!!
However if the student does not fit the requirements they are not selected..!! Which account to job loss...!!
Thats is the reason we say companies will come on campus but the student has to convert it..!!
These companies did only come for marketing..!!
SIBM Bangalore is not a Placement Agency....!!! The college or the Placements committee is not responsible for getting a student placed. it is only responsible for giving opportunities to students by having companies on campus...!!

In these site visits, committee members and staff visited a wide array of organizations, agencies, and individuals, including LTC facilities and facility organizations; state, regional, and local ombudsmen programs; sponsors of local ombudsman programs; nursing facility consumer advocacy groups; legal services groups; state regulatory groups such as licensing and certification programs and adult protective services; state and area agencies on aging; and other organizations. In all states, meetings were organized with volunteers serving in the ombudsman program. To provide uniformity among the site visits, each site visit team worked from a standardized interview guide. Altogether, site visitors spoke with more than 400 individuals.
The site visits allowed committee members to learn about the diversity of programs in terms of operations, intensity, and funding throughout the country. All members attended at least one site visit, and the committee set aside extensive time at two meetings to discuss the findings from these visits.
The committee took advantage of other opportunities to consult broadly about the LTC ombudsman programs. For example, at the invitation of the National State LTC Ombudsman Resource Center, several committee members participated in an "open-mike" session with state ombudsmen at the April 1994 training conference in Texas. Similarly, in response to an invitation extended by the National Association of State Units on Aging, some committee members and staff participated in a similar session with the state unit on aging directors as part of their annual conference in June 1994. Additionally, some committee members and staff met with the board and advisory council of these two organizations during the study. The committee also accepted the invitation extended by the American Health Care Association to meet with their Facility Standards Committee in February 1994. In all these contacts, the committee sought evidence on the effectiveness of the LTC ombudsman programs and clarity on what factors enhanced or hindered the programs' effectiveness.
Finally, as time and opportunity allowed, staff and committee met informally with other groups. For example, staff gave progress reports on the study at the 1993 annual meeting of the National Citizens' Coalition for Nursing Home Reform and two monthly meetings of the Campaign for Quality Care Coalition. Several times throughout the study, the committee and IOM staff consulted with staff at Administration on Aging.

hi sc-l,
Is mobile security a brand new day or the same old same old? The answer depends on how you look at the problem. If
you are a practitioner in the trenches, there are many new and interesting shiny bits to mobile security. If you are a
security veteran, things look very familiar. In this episode of Silver Bullet, Jim Routh, Scott Matsumoto and I take
on the Necker Cube of mobile security. Jim Routh is the ultimate security practitioner (until recently the global head
of software security at JPMC and now a major CSO). Scott Matsumoto, Cigital Principal and head of mobile security, is
a software veteran with years of experience. I do what I can to guide the conversation with an eye on both the distant
past and the quickly approaching future.
Have a listen and pass it on: http://www.cigital.com/silver-bullet/show-085/
As always, your feedback is both welcome and encouraged. What do YOU think? Same old same old or brand new day?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Social desirability bias is the tendency of respondents to answer questions in a manner that will be viewed favorably by others. It can take the form of over-reporting "good behavior" or under-reporting "bad," or undesirable behavior. The tendency poses a serious problem with conducting research with self-reports, especially questionnaires. This bias interferes with the interpretation of average tendencies as well as individual differences.
Topics where socially desirable responding (SDR) is of special concern are self-reports of abilities, personality, sexual behavior, and drug use. When confronted with the question "How often do you masturbate?", for example, respondents may be pressured by the societal taboo against masturbation, and either under-report the frequency or avoid answering the question. Therefore the mean rates of masturbation derived from self-report surveys are likely to be severe underestimates.
When confronted with the question, "Do you use drugs/illicit substances?" the respondent may be influenced by the fact that controlled substances, including the more commonly used marijuana, are generally illegal. Respondents may feel pressured to deny any drug use or rationalize it, e.g., "I only smoke marijuana when my friends are around." The bias can also influence reports of number of sexual partners. In fact, the bias may operate in opposite directions for different subgroups: Whereas men tend to inflate the numbers, women tend to underestimate theirs. In either case, the mean reports from both groups are likely to be distorted by social desirability bias.
Other topics that are sensitive to social desirability bias:
The fact that people differ in their tendency to engage in socially desirable responding (SDR) is a special concern to those measuring individual differences with self-reports. Individual differences in SDR make it difficult to distinguish those people with good traits who are responding factually from those distorting their answers in a positive direction.
When SDR cannot be eliminated, researchers may resort to evaluating the tendency and then control for it. A separate measure of SDR must be administered together with the primary measure (test or interview) aimed at the subject matter of the research/investigation.The key assumption is that respondents who answer in a socially desirable manner on that scale are also responding desirably to all self reports throughout the study.
In some cases the entire questionnaire package from high scoring respondents may simply be discarded. Alternatively, respondents' answers on the primary questionnaires may be statistically adjusted commensurate with their SDR tendencies. For example, this adjustment is performed automatically in the standard scoring of MMPI scales.
The major concern with SDR scales is that they confound style with content. After all, people actually differ in the degree to which they possess desirable traits (e.g., nuns versus criminals). Consequently, measures of social desirability confound true differences with social-desirability bias.
Until recently, the most commonly used measure of socially desirable responding was the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale.[1] The original version comprised 33 True-False items. A shortened version, the Strahan–Gerbasi comprises only 10 items, but some have raised questions regarding the reliability of this measure.Thompson and Phua.[2]
In 1991, Delroy L. Paulhus published the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding: a questionnaire designed to measure two forms of SDR.[3] This 40-item instrument provides separate subscales for "impression management", the tendency to give inflated self-descriptions to an audience; and self-deceptive enhancement, the tendency to give honest but inflated self-descriptions. The commercial version of the BIDR called "Paulhus Deception Scales (PDS)",[4] ".
Scales designed to tap response styles are available in all major languages, including Italian [5] and German [6]
Another measure has been used in surveys or opinion polls carried out by interviewing people face-to-face or through the telephone.[7]
'Extreme response bias' (ERB) takes the form of exaggerated extremity preference, e.g. for '1' or '7' on 7-point scales. Its converse, 'moderacy bias' entails a preference for middle range (or midpoint) responses (e.g. 3-5 on 7-point scales). 'Acquiescence' is the tendency to prefer the higher ratings over lower ratings, whatever the content of the question.
When the subjects' details are not required, as in sample investigations and screenings, anonymous administration is preferably used as the person does not feel directly and personally involved in the answers he or she is going to give.
Anonymous self-administration provides neutrality, detachment and reassurance. An even better result is obtained by returning the questionnaires by mail or ballot boxes so as to further guarantee anonymity and the impossibility to identify the subjects who filled in the questionnaires.
SDR tends to be reduced by wording questions in a neutral fashion. Another is to use forced-choice questions where the two options have been equated for their desirability.
One approach is to administer tests through a computer (self-administration software).[8] A computer, even compared to the most competent interviewer, provides a higher sense of neutrality: it does not appear to be judging.
The most recent approach—the Over-claiming Technique—assesses the tendency to claim knowledge about non-existent items. More complex methods to promote honest answers include the Randomized response and Unmatched count techniques, as well as the Bogus Pipeline Technique.

Tiger Woods promises to wear Buddhist bracelet forever
Rehabilitation and religion were the two themes Tiger Woods was most open about discussing in his first television interviews Sunday since revelations about his marriage infidelities emerged last November. Woods has long been connected to Buddhism through his Thai mother and he said his detachment from the religion had been behind his fall from grace.
"Going against your core values, losing sight of it," he said when asked how he lost control of his life. "I quit meditating, I quit being a Buddhist, and my life changed upside down. I felt entitled, which I had never felt before. Consequently, I hurt so many people by my own reckless attitude and behavior."
Woods wore a thin Buddhist bracelet, which he showed to Golf Channel viewers and said he would be wearing when he returned to golf at the U.S. Masters on April 8. "It's Buddhist, it's for protection and strength and I certainly need that," he said.
Given a number of celebrities in the U.S. have "discovered" religion at times of crises, Woods may find some skepticism about his readiness to be publicly associated with Buddhism now. But he discussed it in a video and text interview with Reuters in March 2008. He said he practiced meditation and went to a temple with his mother every year.
Here are the Buddhist bracelet story, another news story on the interview, the full transcript and video of the Golf Channel interview and the full transcript and video of the ESPN interview.

Artist on Artist: Gary Sweeney Interviews Marilyn Lanfear
Published: May 14, 2014
Marilyn Lanfear is a local art treasure. For more than 50 years she's been making bold and beautiful artwork that both documents family history and holds up a mirror to our past. Even though she grew up in Corpus Christi with a family that wasn't interested in art, "I always knew I wanted to be an artist," she says. Her dream was on hold while she married and had three children—because that's the way it worked back there—but she was able to get her degree at the University of Texas and her Master's at UTSA in the 1970s. She lived in New York City for a while during some very exciting times, then returned to Texas, where she taught and made art. I would love for every young woman studying art to be able to hear her stories: Not that things are equal for women in the art world today, but it's hard to imagine the struggle women artists in the 1970s had to endure in order to even get the smallest slice of the art-world pie. Marilyn Lanfear was one of the women artists who helped open the door for others, and the fact that she's still producing fresh and exciting artwork makes us appreciate her even more. Her exhibit "Artifacts of the Familiar" closes this week.
How would you describe your artwork?
I tell stories. Actually, I come from a long line of storytellers. I always thought that I would be an artist when I grew up, because I could draw. My father could draw, so I thought that I'd taken after him. However, it wasn't until much later (and too late to tell her) that I figured out that I'd inherited my interest in art from my mother, who could make anything. She could sew and make things and fix things and grow things and figure things out. I think figuring things out is the most important skill, and when I am not clear about what I mean to say (in my artwork), at least I have the skill to present it to an audience.
Do you see your stories and collections as specific to your family, or do you want the viewer to relate to them as universal themes?
I mean to be specific to my experience, and the more specific I am, the more universal my theme.
If I'd just met you, I would have a hard time imagining someone as small and soft-spoken as you bending sheets of lead and carving blocks of wood. How did you arrive at using tough materials in your artwork?
Sometimes this [using new materials] requires research and study. Sometimes I have to learn a new skill. I had to learn to solder and carve wood because the story required it. It was important that I not represent my new skills in a weak or tentative way. I had to carve the wood as if I'd been doing it for years.
Did you have a mentor or role model in your early years?
Sometimes I learn from research and sometimes I learn from somebody. Sometimes I think that if I just practiced painting landscapes, for instance, I could get quite good at that. But instead, if I have something to say, I think, "What is the best way to say it? With handmade paper? With mother-of-pearl buttons?"

Alone in the Dark trailer
March 08 trailer
All comments
In terms of the gameplay itself, it's too early for me to make any kind of judgement, although I'm skeptical as to how all these much-touted gameplay gimmicks will coalesce into a good, cohesive game experience.
Posted by statixTaste is subjective. It doesn't have a lack of taste... it just doesn't match YOUR taste. There's a difference. :) Hell would freeze over the day that a game pleased everybody's artistic or technical tastes. There's an infinite amount of directions a game like this could be taken, and in every situation somebody would complain about one of them.
It seems to lack any sense of artistic/directorial direction or taste; rather T

Looks good to me.
btw its done by Eden Games of Sweden (Test Drive Unlimited). Which would explain the hot engine tech.

Lunch at or near Omni Shoreham?
I'll be meeting a friend at the Omni on a Saturday afternoon. We're looking for a lunch place that's a very short walking distance (within a couple of blocks) of the Omni, or possibly within the Omni itself (if they have such a place). The walking distance issue is not negotiable (no driving, no Metro, no taxis, no long hikes).
And it needs to be a place that has non-spicy options. Things like grilled cheese sandwiches would be good. Soups would be a plus. We just need a place where we can comfortably sit and chat while we eat.
Any suggestions?
I think Open City is exactly what you are looking for: very close, and they have soup and grilled cheese. Do I think it's one of the better places around? Certainly not. The food quality is very ordinary, but it meets your criteria.
Open City
2331 Calvert St NW, Washington, DC 20008
re: woodleyparkhound
Yes, it's what just what OP described, and would be perfect I think (and totally agree with your description woodley) -- BUT on Saturdays the wait can be really really long for the brunch crowd, right? Or is it not so bad at this time of year? One of them could go down (from the hotel, it's close enough for that) a little early to put their names on the list, or they could hover for a bar seat which is what we usually do, but that can be a little stressful.
re: mselectra
Yes, Open City sounds like exactly what you're looking for.
Open City
2331 Calvert St NW, Washington, DC 20008
Woodley Cafe about 2 blocks away on Connecticut http://www.woodleycafeonline.com/
Nothing fancy but may be less of a wait than Open City and a bit quieter
Open City
2331 Calvert St NW, Washington, DC 20008
BTW - huge hotel - has restaurant options "in house" though can't say what they are like - see their website
Right across the street is Open CIty which has exactly what you are looking for. There is likely going to be quite a wait though because it's very popular on a Saturday.
Another option (a short walk up Connecticut) is Petit Plats. I don't know if they have grilled cheese but they do have good soups. It's a cozy french bistro. Their lunch menu has sandwiches, salads, roast chicken etc. A nice option in the area.
I personally would not go to Woodley Cafe. I use to live in that area and that place is just awful---especially the service.
re: Elyssa
I heard they closed. True?
turns up many threads that discuss the options near the Omni quite thoroughly.
re: sweth
Thanks for all of the responses. I really don't want to go to a place that's likely to be crowded and have a long wait. I'm meeting a friend I haven't seen in over 30 years, so we need someplace where we can linger, and that's not too noisy, so we can chat.
I did search several other threads, but the restaurants discussed were either too far away, too fancy, and/or too expensive. I'm currently unemployed, so I can't go crazy with the moolah.
I was hoping there'd be some simple sandwich joint near the Omni, but maybe it's too upscale an area to have places like that. I fear I may be out of luck. I'm not even finding a Panera, Cosi, or Au Bon Pain in the area.
I wonder if there's a bar nearby that would work ... a quiet one that has a sandwich menu ...
re: Mallomar
There's Murphy's Irish Pub: http://www.murphysofdc.com/menus.php
There is also a McDonald's and a Chipotle.
re: Mallomar
I was thinking Murphy's Pub might work, too, but haven't been there in years -- it's really close. There's a Chipotle right there, the corner of Calvert and Connecticut, if that would do? Also, on the block just north of Calvert on Connecticut, across from the metro (next to the BofA), is a casual sandwich place, order at the cash register, I think Cafe International is the name. Haven't been there in a long time, but I used to read/study there and they would be playing classical music and seemed like nice people, quiet place to hang out, might work for you?
ETA: sorry, I missed that woodleyparkhound also mentioned the Chipotle.
Also, it's really not an upscale neighborhood, and there are lots of restaurants (not fancy ones) along that block (thai, indian, aforementioned mcd's -- I think most of them just aren't considered very good, so don't show up on CH.
One more edit -- you'll walk by Open City going to any of these other places, so you could check there first to see if there's a long wait or not.
Cafe International
2633 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008
re: Mallomar
If you don't care what the food is like than Woodley Cafe is perfect.
There is also a decent sandwich/coffee shop on CT across from your hotel (next to the Bank of America ATM, across from the ATM) that could work...sorry I can't remember the name of the place. It's a small sandwich/bagel/coffee shop with tables.
Bank of America Cafe
11333 McCormick Rd, Hunt Valley, MD 21031
Consider walking down to Tryst on 18th Street - it's a nicer coffee house with sofas and tables and all that, and they generally don't care how long you stay at all. The coffee is very good, and I've enjoyed the food I've tried there (sandwiches).
Otherwise, that area is pretty boring outside of Open City. I don't believe Open City will care how long you're there and this time of year, it's not that crowded on a Saturday (compared to the high tourist season)
Or, consider getting something to go and enjoying a coffee/light food in the lobby of the Omni. It's a nice lobby! They probably have a relatively comfortable cafe. I know in the marriott across the street they have lovely room to sit and talk.
Open City
2331 Calvert St NW, Washington, DC 20008
re: Jeserf
Tryst is going to be just as crowded on a Saturday as Open City.
Open City
2331 Calvert St NW, Washington, DC 20008
re: Elyssa
maybe, but I never found either of them that crowded during the winter but I don't go THAT often
re: Jeserf
Thanks again for all of the suggestions. There were a lot of good options (the hotel was closer to the metro and restaurants than I thought), but as it turned out, my friend didn't want to leave the hotel -- or her room, for that matter. We ended up ordering room service. The food was better than I expected, but of course it was pricey. It think it was $13 for a grilled cheese sandwich.

Small room. Wifi poor, only in lobby for most of stay. Last 2days wifi was fixed and available in room. A must when trying to book trains/planes
location, good and clean bathroom
no fridge, very narrow elevator
The balcony view into the street and the restaurants across the road! Very convenient location with great choice for eating out; close to the Metro station and walk to Eiffel Tower and gardens.
No tea & coffee making facilities in our room; otherwise all basics provided for.
Location amazing! Cheap hotel in great spot with metro at your doorstep and a supermarket and restaurants. Rooms clean and basic.
Wifi was poor and we needed it to transfer funds and confirm bookings. Had to hand in the key every time you left meaning you had to wait for it upon your return each time. Rooms small.
excellent position and acces
might need a slight rehabilitation, new sheets and beds
Close to Eiffel
Not clean and pretty small Toilet, floor carpet was smelling,
Location Local Shops & Restaurants Close to the Metro No Traffic Noise (windows closed) Aircon Lift Wi-Fi in room Safe for valuables Helpful Reception
Cleanliness Standard of Decor One small pillow No bedside table Room/WC On the small side Wall mirror in lousy position No sink plug Plumbing noise from other rooms
Location, location, location and friendly staff. Room small, but hey this is Paris. Would recommend.
Room small
We had huge problems with payments, as two different credit cards were used for reservation and payment - we still waiting for the pre-authorisation sum to be released (one week passed). Personnel wasn't helpful in this situation.
Friendly & helpful staff. The location is right next to the subway & walking distance to the Effile tower. The restaurant 7? Vive?the one right by them is excellent. The rooms were nice nothing fancy.
Location Free Wi FI
Room was very small but it is OK for very short stays. No English TV channels were available
The location of this hotel is excellent, a very short leisurely stroll round the corner to the Eiffel Tower. It is also literally across the road from the Metro and a supermarket and a few bars and restaurants. The staff were ok (they changed our room upon request without a problem) and gave us info when we asked. We felt totally safe in the area we were staying
We were first given room 602 at the top of the hotel. It is the worst room I've ever been given. Stained carpet, broken lamp shade. Very dated decor and furniture. It had some mould/damp and although I had a cold, my wife could smell the fusty smell with damp. I asked to change rooms and they gave us 104 (why didn't we get this in the first place?) and they did it without problem. This room was a lot lot better no mould and looked a lot cleaner, very small still but enough for us for a few nights (I've heard paris rooms are smaller) .bathroomclean but tiny. The bed needs a new mattress by miles (it didn't help my back that much) all in all 104 was for paris I'm guessing about right for what we paid. To sum up the hotel where it is, and from outside could be really really nice and very quaint if they bought new carpets, new mattress etc furniture and really did it up then I'm sure people would return time and time again so if the owners of the hotel prince read this, you really need to do this because you have the basis of a lovely hotel that is let down by some small investment in the decor etc. Would I recommend. Still probably yes for room 104 although still don't expect luxury. For room 602 never ever ever!!
Staff was not friendly at all. Wifi was not working and we asked the girl at the desk how to make a telephone call home from our room. She had no idea how to make a call from the hotel. The room was extremely small which is expected in Paris, but this room was really small and very outdated. The beds were very hard and the traffic noise was horrible. The air conditioner did not work well.
+location (10 mins walking to Eiffel tower) +very clean rooms +recomandation: la campanella restaurant (try their speciality: snails and frog legs) IT'S FANTASTIC! (it's just 5 mins down the street) +L'open bus tour station no.16 is 5 mins from it :)) (also recomandation-you can book it online) +staff speaks english :)
-wifi doesnt work at evening/night!!!! -breakfast is very poorly served (cornflakes, milk, boiled eggs, marmelade, yogurt, 5 slices of salami and 5 slices of cheese for whole hotel) you get 1 croassant when you order coffee..... so it could be better but its ok...
Location (eiffel, invalides, champs, metro, military school. All of these just a walk away) Safe in room. Kind staff. Value compared to other hotels.
Room is a lot smaller than professional photos make it look. View of window of our particular room.
Excellent location, very clean, nice bathroom. I would like to come back any time.Thank you.
The interiors were not new and didn't look clean; I never touch it to confirm though. My room was next to the elevator. I could hear the lift motor whenever it moved. However, I had surprising good sleeps, probably because of the nice cool air cond provided. The location is superb. A real 10-15 minute walking distance from Eiffel Tower, allowing me to visit there early in the morning; thus avoiding the crowds. It was also close to Musée de l'Armée, Musée Rodin, Musée d'Orsay and a few others. If you like museums like me, it would be a great choice. One last thing. The quality of staff varies. Some of them were great, some were only fair.
Bathroom was very small
Size of room quite small
amazing location right next to Eiffel Tower and metro stop right outside 15min ride to all main train stations,friendly staff, clean rooms! loved this place :)
Location was excellent for transport, restaurants, and sights. Staff(older gentleman was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very good. Rooms were old but reasonably comfortable.
Noisy at night One bathroom had no door or curtain rail for the shower so got very wet.
Best location - 5 minute walk to the field n front of the Eiffel tower, Carrefour around the corner, Subway (Ecole Militaire) around the corner and restaurants nearby. Descent room, good bed.
Ensure to ask for a room with street view. Mold on ceiling from previous leakage; no timely maintenance upkeep.
location and staff
very tight bathroom and mold in the bathroom
Everyone one was very nice. Location was great.
Dated! Because it is a dated hotel...I thought for the size of the room it was overpriced. But, I had a great time!
The location the french windows in the room
1)the building 2)the entire room, peeling wall paper, 3)mildew on wall 4)extremely dated carpet 5) No coffee/tea making kettle jug 6) Bad housekeeping, no soap or shampoo replenished on 2nd & 3rd day. 7) Reception staff unfriendly, no initiative on hospitality 8) Small toilet in room 9) Breakfast was not value for money

When you're writing something that is a direct quote, meaning that it is the exact words that someone spoke, you need to use double quotation marks. Using them properly can be a little tricky, so remember these rules.
Time4Writing provides practice in this area. Try a sample resource from our Middle School Essay Writing course or browse other related courses.
There are two types of dialogue:
direct and indirect
Direct dialogue is speech using the character's exact words. In this case, quotation marks are used.
Indirect dialogue is a second-hand report of something that was said or written but NOT the exact words in their original form.
In this week's lesson, you will focus more on the writing of direct dialogue.
There are some rules to follow when writing direct dialogue in your narratives:
Rule #1: Use quotation marks to indicate the words that are spoken by the characters.
Example: "Help me!" exclaimed the little girl.
Rule #2: Always begin a new paragraph when the speaker changes.
"I am coming home," Sue announced. "I am really tired and can't work anymore."
"Okay, I think you should do that," her husband agreed.
Rule #3: Make sure the reader knows who is doing the talking.
Rule #4: Use correct punctuation marks and capitalization.
Example: "May I buy a new pair of shoes?" Lauren asked her mom.
Note that the quotation marks are outside the end punctuation of the quote; the rest of the sentence has its own end punctuation.
If the quote is not a question or exclamation, use a comma and not a period before the second quotation marks.
"I bought a new jacket yesterday," Tammy said.

When the Miami Dolphins open the 2010 season they will be going to a modified version of the storied 3-4 defense. On this Dolphin 3-4 Defense: Some History for your consideration. In 2006 the defense was a hybrid 4-3/3-4.
Defensive Line: In the Dolphins' hybrid 4-3/3-4 defense, flexibility is a huge key for defensive linemen, and their roster is built well for it. Pass-rushing ends Jason Taylor and Matt Roth both displayed a good ability to shift from 4-3 DE to a 3-4 OLB role last season, and players like Vonnie Holliday, David Bowens, Kevin Carter, and Jeff Zgonina also played rotational and moving roles as well along the line, switching in and out between DE in the 3-4 and a rotating role between DE and DT in the 4-3 front.
Linebacker: One problem with the Dolphins' hybrid defensive front is that it's very difficult to find linebackers who fit both the 4-3 and 3-4 defensive schemes, but they've done a good job of managing to do so. In the 4-3, Zach Thomas holds down the middle as he has so well for so long, and he should be typically flanked by Donnie Spragan on the weak side and 2005 rookie standout Channing Crowder on the strong side. When the defense shifts to a 3-4 front, Crowder will slide inside to support Thomas in the middle, and normal DE Jason Taylor will be blitzing from the weak side.
The only constant was Keith Traylor holding down the middle of the line as the team's full-time 3-4 nose tackle, and this year he figures to get help from undrafted rookie Steve Fifita, another big, wide-bodied DT who has impressed in camps in the nose tackle role.
Playing a flexible front is often very hard on defensive linemen, but head coach Nick Saban managed to get his personnel to do it very well last year and should figure to see even better production from them this year.
-Courtesy football.about.com
In fact, it was the 1972 Miami Dolphin team that was the first really successful NFL team to run a 3-4 defense. At that time, most teams were using the 5-2 or a "modern" innovation brought to the league by then Defensive Coordinator for the NY Giants, Tom Landry, the 4-3. This was in the late 1950's and early 1960's.
But Don Shula knew that this was to be the great successful defense that would win championships. And he ran this defense throughout his tenure as coach of the Dolphins with Bill Arnsparger as his Defensive Coordinator.
From Wikipedia:
The Great Innovator
Tom Landry invented the now-popular "4-3 Defense", while serving as Giants defensive coordinator.[2] It was called "4-3″ because it featured four down lineman (two ends and two defensive tackles on either side of the offensive center) and three linebackers — middle, left, and right. The innovation was the middle linebacker. Previously, a lineman was placed over the center. But Landry had this person stand up and move back two yards. The Giants' middle linebacker was the legendary Sam Huff.
"Landry built the 4-3 defense around me. It revolutionized defense and opened the door for all the variations of zones and man-to-man coverage, which are used in conjunction with it today." – Sam Huff [3]
Landry also invented and popularized the use of keys — analyzing offensive tendencies — to determine what the offense might do.
When Landry was hired by the Dallas Cowboys, he became concerned with then-Green Bay Packers Coach Vince Lombardi's "Run to Daylight" idea, where the running back went to an open space, rather than a specific assigned hole. Landry reasoned that the best counter was a defense that flowed to daylight and blotted it out.
To do this, he refined the 4-3 defense by moving two of the four linemen off the line of scrimmage one yard and varied which linemen did this based on where the Cowboys thought the offense might run. This change was called "The Flex Defense," because it altered its alignment to counter what the offense might do. Thus, there were three such Flex Defenses — strong, weak, and "tackle" — where both defensive tackles were off the line of scrimmage. The idea with the flexed linemen was to improve pursuit angles to stop the Green Bay Sweep — a popular play of the 1960s. The Flex Defense was also innovative in that it was a kind of zone defense against the run. Each defender was responsible for a given gap area, and was told to stay in that area before they knew where the play was going."
This 4-3 system was developed around a prominent Linebacker of his day, Sam Huff. In fact, all subsequent development of defensive schemes has been based around the linebacker corps. And the later 3-4 Defense was no exception.
From about.com: Football we have the following,
"The 3-4 defense is a basic defensive formation that is used by several NFL teams. Bud Wilkenson devised the alignment at the University of Oklahoma in the late 1940s."
"Football 101 – Understanding the Basics of the 3-4 Defense". About.com. http://football.about.com/cs/a/34defense.htm.
Yes, the 3-4 actually predates the 4-3 defense. But it was not until the Miami Dolphins that it achieved the level of success which brought it to real prominence. From, Browns Gab:
There are as many opinions — and answers — as types of 3-4 schemes.
"Bill Arnsparger is the guy," former Browns head coach Sam Rutigliano said. "He's the guy who invented it. He's the architect of the 3-4."
Many contributed to the development of the 3-4 defense. The defensive scheme was modified by, Bill Arnsparger, Buddy Ryan, Hank Bullough and Bum Phillips as well as Bill Belichick and "tweaked" by many over the years. Many notable defenses used this scheme and it is considered to be, "in vogue" presently in the NFL (again). It has been in vogue in the 1970's (also see Pittsburgh Steelers), the 1980's and 1990's and all the way up to today.
In an article by Josh Dhani, writing for Bleacher Report one can find a listing over the years of the many, many teams using this defense that won championships. Here is the link on this, http://bleacherreport.com/articles/265995-defense-wins-championships-which-defense-is-better-3-4-or-4-3. And although his article is a good history of the 2 basic defenses in the NFL, it does not go into much detail about schemes. But take note of the number of teams running the 3-4 which won championships.
The rushing plan is able to be varied and the defense can shift to a 4-3 simply by sliding-over the Nose Tackle and adding another lineman. Simple. But the beauty of the 3-4 is this: properly arranged, the offense is not able to predict which players will be rushing and which will drop into coverage. Some variations of the 3-4 have even used defensive lineman dropping into coverage on occasion while linebackers are blitzing.
We'll look more at this in-depth coming next article. But you should know that Randy Starks will not be stuck in one spot and our defense will no longer be predictable. Teams that play Miami this season will not get away with easy yardage: they will be made to pay. And staff writers and columnists who predict mid-range standing for this team will be shown as fools.

At first I was like "Omg, Shin-chan sound sooooo sexyy *o*" But then the guy just became so creepy that I actually felt kinda afraid of him.

About a month ago, Buffalo Bills lineman, Marcell Dareus was caught in Alabama with possession of synthetic marijuana. He could face charges from Alabama was well as a suspension from the league for the possession charges.
Newly added to his list of charges come in from Hamburg, NY this past Friday. Dareus was again arrested and issued an appearance ticket on three misdemeanor charges, the most serious is that of a class A misdemeanor for reckless endangerment. This can carry up to a year in jail. The other two are still misdemeanors but are less serious which include reckless driving and participating in an illegal speed contest. Both of these carry up to a 30 day jail sentence for first time offenders.
Dareus spoke with reporters last week for the first time after his arrest in Alabama, even before this newly occurred incident and stated
"They believe in me," Dareus said last Wednesday. "They know that I'm not a trouble guy. They know I'm not the type of person that's trying to look for any trouble.
"I'm not trying to do anything. Things happen and we're moving forward and they know I'm going to grow into the guy they want me to be."
Dareus was suspended last year for the last two games because he had an issue telling time and showing up to team meetings and practices on time.
As of right now if all charges are held to the highest extent, Dareus could be looking at approximately 6 years and 2 months in prison for his actions. His statement from last week is basically thrown out the window by this fan. I don't think the Bills need to or should give Dareus the time of day at this point. After he is brought up on charges, the league can still put a suspension on him as well.
At this point his 5th year contract extension is only guaranteed to be paid out if the Bills release him due to an injury. The Bills would be no worse from wear if they released Dareus and saved themselves some heart ache at this point. I am all for giving people second chances and helping someone out, but when they keep on throwing it back in your face then walk away, just walk away.
Here are the top 15 DTs on the free agent list that the Bills could look to and fill the vacancy left by Dareus. At this point, I would say any of them would be a viable option other than Dareus. This fan has checked out on Dareus.
1. Kevin Williams
2. Ryan Pickett
3. Johnny Jolly
4. Aubrayo Franklin
5. Vaughn Martin
6. Brandon Deaderick
7. Isaac Sopoaga
8. Gary Gibson

10. Corvey Irvin

Official Beer of the Apocalypse
Let the 2012 end of the world ads begin. Chevy started the trend with their Super Bowl spot depicting a group of buddies who are missing their friend Dave. His Ford didn't hold up to the apocalypse. Shock Top is the latest brand that aims to capitalize on the end of the Mayan calendar. If they had it their way people would be reaching for a cold Shock Top as everything collapses. Although I enjoy the brew and their smooth talking spokesman, if the world is ending I can think of several other beers I would rather drink. Not to knock Shock Top, but it's just not the last-beer-ever good. I wonder which brands are going to step up next to be "The Official (insert random product here) of the Apocalypse."
Big Friday Surf 1/6/12
Although the NW swell that hit Southern California this past Friday wasn't as huge as some forecasts predicted, the surf was still heavy. I took this shot of the Oceanside pier from my balcony around 10 AM on Friday. The waves in Oceanside were walled and topping out at about 9-10 feet so I opted to surf at Terramar in Carlsbad. In Carlsbad the set waves were a more manageable 7-8 feet and peeling perfectly right at the point I was sitting at. There was definitely a good crowd in the lineup, but there were plenty of waves to go around. A seal even decided to join in and take advantage of the excellent waves. Overall it was a great day of surf, made better only by the perfect weather!
Here are some videos of the bigger waves further south:
Torey Pudwill's Big Bang
Is Torey Pudwill the skater of the year? Check out his video part to see him absolutely kill it on a skateboard. Speed, pop, and technicality are the best words to describe Torey Pudwill's Big Bang.
NASA Satellite Image of San Diego Blackout
If you didn't already know, there was a massive power outage on September 8th in San Diego. It affected 1.4 million San Diegans for 15 hours. This NASA satellite image depicts the pure darkness that occurred as a result of the blackout.
Glowing Waves
I took this video of the waves lighting up with bioluminescent algae last night in Oceanside, California. The phenomenon occurs when there is a high concentration of marine dinoflagellates (a type of algae) near the shore. The algae glows when it is disturbed by the waves.
Pacific Coast Road Trip Timelapse
I went on a trip to California with my dad from June 22nd to July 4th. I shot a time lapse of our road trip from San Diego to San Francisco. We started our trip two miles from the Mexican border on I-5 and made stops in San Clemente, Los Angeles, and San Luis Obispo before arriving in San Francisco. The video was shot with a GoPro Hero HD taking pictures every two seconds.
Leszek Kuzaj Rally Racing a Subaru Impreza WRC
This is a crazy on board video of the Polish rally racer Leszek Kuzaj. He drives faster than his co-driver can read the pace notes, has several close calls, and dodges a stray dog at 4:28. Oh and I forgot to mention the microphone system cuts out two minutes in forcing the co-driver to yell the notes haha. This video perfectly illustrates the skill, confidence, and insanity needed to rally race.
CONCACAF Gold Cup Quarterfinals
I went to the US v. Jamaica and El Salvador v. Panama Gold Cup games and took video of El Salvador's 78th minute penalty kick goal. The US won 2-0, but the second game was much more entertaining. The crowd had to have been 95% El Salvador fans and put the US fans to shame. The El Salvadorians were at least twice as loud and definitely twice as rowdy. The second game went into extra time and penalty kicks after Panama scored the game tying goal in the 90th minute. Panama won 5-3 in penalties and will play the US in the semifinals.
Mercedes SLS AMG Sighting
I spotted this Mercedes SLS AMG a few weeks ago near my neighborhood. I had to stop and snap a few pictures. This car retails for $183,000 and has been featured on BBC's Top Gear several times. It has one of the most powerful naturally aspirated engines in a production vehicle, and has a top speed that is electronically limited at 197 mph. I just wish I could see this thing driving around.
McAfee Knob Hike
I hiked up to McAfee Knob yesterday with Laura. Before we could even set off on our hike though, David Tate from ABC 13 interviewed us in the parking lot where the Appalachian Trail crosses Route 311. David was doing a story on the Department of Agriculture's warning to people using the National Forest System to watch out for marijuana grows. We didn't make the story but you can watch the news clip here http://bit.ly/leyulX on ABC 13's website. The hike took about two hours to get to McAfee Knob, which is one of the most photographed spots on the Appalachian Trail. At the top we met some hippies named Rainbow and Firestarter who were hiking the entire trail to Maine. It was a great hike with perfect weather, but we definitely should have brought some water because we were struggling towards the end of the day.

In order to strengthen its human resource base, which supports Toyota's growth, the company has created a positive working environment in which employees can work with confidence, vigor and enthusiasm. Toyota strives to foster employees' pride and loyalty to the company, workplace and colleagues by encouraging a culture of teamwork through communication and friendly competition.
In order to develop employee interest in the company's operations and products, based on the notion of "All Toyota," and to deepen loyalty, an internal campaign called WE LOVE TOYOTA has been carried out since FY2009.
As a part of these activities, the 2nd WE LOVE TOYOTA seminar was held in April 2012. Approximately 350 participants attended including corporate executives and foreign employees. Teamwork and ties between participants were deepened by forming teams consisting of members who had never met before and holding an "Internal Prius Cup" while discussing the joy of driving.
The 350 members who gathered together for the "Internal Prius Cup"
Toyota has 35 clubs consisting of those for advanced athletes competing for national championships on behalf of the company and for employees who are engaged both in sports and a job function. All employees are proud of the clubs' good showing and, beyond that, feel motivated and encouraged to see workplace colleagues competing strongly.
The women's softball club and the men's basketball club Alvark won national championships in November 2011 and April 2012, respectively.

won two consecutive league championships

Toyota believes that the greatest assets a company has are its people and that customer satisfaction cannot be achieved without employee satisfaction.
The employee satisfaction survey conducted in FY2010 on administrative and engineering employees revealed an affirmative response rate of over 70% regarding "satisfaction with company life" and "feeling that one's job is rewarding."
The most common reason given for "satisfaction with company life" was "work quality and level" while young employees in particular gave "experiencing a sense of personal growth " as the most common reason for "feeling that one's job is rewarding."
The results of the survey conducted in FY2011 on shop floor employees revealed that the number of employees who answered that they were satisfied was 64.4%, an affirmative response rate of over 60% despite the impact of the earthquake disaster. The FY2010 survey conducted overseas had an affirmative response rate of 74% for administrative and engineering employees and 72% for shop floor employees.
This employee satisfaction survey is conducted every other year and its analyzed results are used in planning and executing measures to allow employees to work with confidence.
Toyota is conducting a range of initiatives to ensure smooth communication within the workplace. One of these is lunchtime discussions held with foreign staff regarding anything from personal troubles and worries to differences in culture and ways of thinking, which deepens mutual understanding between Japanese and foreign staff.
The Guiding Principles at Toyota and the Toyota Code of Conduct (established in 1998; revised in 2006), which consolidate our approach to putting these principles into practice, contain the concept of "Respecting and honoring the human rights and other rights of the people who work at Toyota." In addition, our CSR Policy: Contribution towards Sustainable Development, which was drawn up in 2008, stipulates that "We respect and honor the human rights of the people involved in our business." We work to fully reflect these principles throughout all Toyota business activities, including our suppliers and other parties.
In particular, regarding relationships with employees, The Toyota Way-which we have expanded to Toyota employees worldwide-is Toyota's action principle for which "Continuous Improvement" and "Respect for People" have always served as the two pillars. "Respect for People" refers to respect for all our stakeholders, while employee growth is inextricably linked to company achievement. The keywords here are "Respect" and "Teamwork." The Toyota Way is the moral foundation for sharing common values with all business units across the world. In addition, various measures are implemented so that employees can work with confidence, vigor, and enthusiasm. Efforts are also made to fully reflect such concepts throughout Toyota's entire business activities, which includes our suppliers and other parties.
Toyota established its in-house CSR Indices to confirm whether business is being executed in line with the concept of respect for human rights, and follow-up is performed for the various functions each year. Toyota requests the drafting and implementation of correction measures based on the results of Consolidated Compliance Check-sheets once a year for its subsidiaries, and once every two years for overseas subsidiaries.
For suppliers, Toyota established and distributed the Supplier CSR Guidelines in 2009, which clearly state Toyota's expectations of its suppliers and Toyota's policy of respect for human rights. In addition, Toyota asks each company to perform self inspections. Beginning FY2012, as part of our efforts to further strengthen CSR-related initiatives, we intend to examine the situation and ask each company to make their own corrections as necessary, as well as take actions to confirm those corrections.
Toyota will continue to listen to the views of our stakeholders and further undertake various types of measures to reflect these views in our management.
Toyota set up the CSR Boost-up Initiative for its staff members to directly communicate with various stakeholders in 2010. It has been added to Toyota Stakeholder Dialogue conducted between external stakeholders and Toyota's executives and upper managers. Recognizing that the CSR actors should be individual employees, we strive to enhance our sensitivity and capabilities with regard to sustainability issues.
In December 2011, NGO members were invited to present lectures and hold discussions on the theme of "NGOs/NPOs and human rights," which is a subject of growing interest throughout the world. The attendees included 15 staff members from relevant divisions. There were positive comments from the participants that they could gain a better understanding of NGOs/NPOs and human rights in a global context as active experts in the NGO field gave them clear presentations.
Toyota will consider the broad range of views on and expectations for the company, and use them when creating future initiatives.
Direct communication with NGOs and NPOs on the theme of "NGOs/NPOs and human rights"
Information was shared on the diversity of NGOs/NPOs and their relationships with corporations, and some concrete examples provided. Relationships with corporations are being transformed into two-way relationships involving dialogue, communication, and cooperation. Advice was also given that since such cooperation involves mutual benefits and risks, it is important to spend time building trusting relationships.
Issues concerning international human rights and relationships with corporations were introduced. It is important to recognize that human rights exist beyond country or legislation, and that public mindset should be changed. There was a comment that there is an expectation for Toyota to take a key role to address issues around human rights given its influence as a multinational company.
Examples of Shapla Neer's detailed activities on sites and the collaborative cases with companies were presented. Then, some of the latest situations of Bangladesh were shown, namely, that there are huge improvements on education and literacy rate, and that micro-finance is widely accepted for almost every family, as NGOs are very vital there. A voice of a local NGO was cited as saying that they don't need money but they would like to learn Japanese system or management.
Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM), which employs around 7,950 people and produces approximately 154,000 cars per year (mainly the Corolla and Hilux), implements various measures in relation to human rights in its workplaces. For example, the content of initiatives undertaken by the company in response to the country's measures to correct employment imbalances, as well as topics such as sexual harassment, form part of the required education. TSAM is working to prevent unjust discrimination and correct imbalances in its workplaces in addition to taking measures such as those related to employment, appointment, and promotion. As a result, drastic, continual improvements have been made in addressing the racial imbalances stemming from the apartheid policy of the past. For example, the percentage of non-white employees in top management has increased from 14.8% in 2009 to 33.3% in 2012. TSAM is also making proactive efforts in response to HIV/AIDS based on a consensus between labor and management to give consideration to employees infected with HIV to enable them to continue working.
In 2010 the Government of South Africa introduced Health Counseling Testing (HCT), which is testing related to adult diseases such as blood pressure and blood cholesterol that is carried out at the same time as HIV and AIDS screening. This testing is a new attempt to help prevent adult diseases, which are increasing every year, as well as reduce the number of people who are reluctant to undergo medical examinations. All of TSAM worked to improve the percentage of people who undergo HCT, resulting in a substantial increase. TSAM has also strengthened its medical care for employees who receive positive results, and the number of employees who die or contract diseases has decreased in recent years.
