TravelPod Member ReviewsLinda Vista Apart Hotel El Calafate
Very clean and comfortable. Mezzanine bedroom can get stuffy with heating on. Management is very obliging even hlping with next hotel booking. Breakfast is fine. Boxed lunches are excellent value.

Patagonian Panacea
So far El Calafate has lived up to expectations. A very touristy town: more than I expected. Once settled into our comfortable apartment, run by Koreans, we took off to book our excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier, the main purpose for our visit.
Day 1. Perito Moreno Glacier.It was truly amazing and I have it on good authority (Rhonda …
El Calafate, Argentina
... The hike probably wasn't the safest exploring I have done - the footing was very unstable and it was really steep. I was literally crawling at points with rock and stones crumbling under my feet. Thankfully my tour to Upsala Glacier went the next day! We took a bus to Lake Argentino, then a three hour boat to visit the ice bergs floating on the lake. We then went by 4WD to the view point of the glacier. After lunch and a tour of the old wool shed we returned to ...
46. El Chalten to El Calafate (1 day, 136 miles)
... like time had stopped still and as if our quads might tear off our knee caps. Yet, each time, Bernardo took a longer shift and cut in on our turns. Perhaps not entirely shockingly, after 110 kilometres, we completely dropped him - he just sunk like a stone. We waited for him at the only cafe on the route, where we had coke, coffee, cake and pizza, before Bernardo threw in the towel and announced he was going to stay there to camp. Matt and John pushed on, riding the last two and ...
Preparing for glaciers and trekking in the wilds
... we visited the banos- loos to the non Spanish speaking reader- and I had to buy a beer for my unofficial guide before we clambered onto the minibus for our campsite. Best beer in along while Inga and I agreed! More concessions for the old woman as our guide had obtained an extra inflatable mattress for me and allocated Inga and I a slightly bigger tent. I have to say the hardest thing about camping is getting into and out of the tent when ones knees ...
Perito Moreno Glacier
... board with horseshoes for handles. Our waiter seemed a bit tipsy, he had to confirm our orders couple of times and still managed to get the wrong side dish for the girls. All the food, and the wine, was stunning though even if it wasn't quite what was ordered.
With the meal finished, we said our last goodbyes to Carlee and Andy because we won't see them again on this trip. No doubt we will meet up again in either New Zealand or Australia.

Accessing profile data from a UDF
I need to access a data from a transient profile file to use in my UDF.
I have time varying angle value (e.g. profile_name theta).
Has anyone programmed a UDF to perform this task?...
from UDF: I need to say
angle = ??? <-- needs to be equated to (profile_name theta) at current time as theta is a time varying quantity.
Please post a solution if you have one.

Milos Raonic scored two wins in a day Friday to earn a place in the semifinals of the Barcelona Open as the clay event caught up from a rain interruption.
The 22-year-old from Thorn-hill, Ont., did double duty as he started the day with a win over Latvian qualifier Ernests Gulbis 6-2, 7-6 (8-6), a third-round match which was originally set for Thursday.
A few hours later, the Canadian fifth seed returned to the clay and used 13 aces to advance past Spain's Tommy Robredo 6-7(5), 6-3, 7-6(2). "I've been working hard and have been able to do some things quite well," said Raonic.

In her presentation, Nobel Laureate Shirin Ebadi will tie the efforts she's made on behalf of women and religious minorities to the world of religious freedom, all while focusing on the importance of human rights throughout. This unique program will help the audience understand the importance of tolerance, perseverance, and belief in human rights for all; and most importantly share easy tools anyone can use to make a difference.
Human right activist Dr. Shirin Ebadi is the first Iranian and Muslim woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The 2003 accolade recognized her significant and pioneering efforts in democracy and human rights, especially for the rights of women, children and refugees.
Ebadi argues for an interpretation of Islamic law which is in harmony with vital human rights such as democracy, equality before the law, religious freedom and freedom of speech.

Holden's crucial export program for the VF Commodore has got off to a promising start, with the first shipment of Chevrolet SS sedans driving out of North American dealerships last week.
The initial shipment of Chevy SS sedans has landed in the US, going on sale at dealerships around the country for US$44,470 ($46,850 AUD) plus local taxes.
And the Australian-built four-door has so far received glowing praise from the Northern Hemisphere. Several new owners have already taken to forums to express their content with the new model, essentially a left-hand-drive version of Holden's VF SS-V Commodore.
"I have 100miles now. Love it!," said Las Vegas-based owner PRLx1967 on the Chevy SS forum. "Smooth ride, no road noise, flat in the turns (and) great power."
"Compared to the GT [Pontiac] it's a 100% improvement in material, technology, and comfort. Performance is a large step maybe a 50% improvement because of response, power, and handling. Stock sound is nice, again can't compare it to a stock GXP."
Another new recipient, SSChevy, posted: "This car is honestly way better in person than on any photos! It has beautiful curves and it has all the features you can ever need."
The Chevrolet SS is similar in specification to the SS-V Commodore, but receives a more powerful 309kW 6.2-litre V8 engine, steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters and several cosmetic and internal enhancements.
The four-door sedan is General Motors' weapon of choice in the NASCAR racing series, where the Australian four-door won on debut at Daytona. Chevrolet has not offered a rear-drive V8 sedan in the US since 1996.
The Chevy SS follows export programs for the VE Commodore, which was sold as the Pontiac G8, and the Monaro, which sold as the Pontiac GTO. Holden says shipments of the Chevrolet SS from Australia to the US would now be "ongoing", as exports take on greater importance following the change of government in Canberra.
Despite America's success in rear-drive, big capacity sports sedans, Chevrolet admits its marketing spend on the SS will be minimal.
Speaking with Fairfax Media, Chevrolet spokeswoman Afaf Farah said the company had concentrated its marketing and advertising around Nascar racing.
"Nascar is the primary marketing opportunity for the SS," she said. "We have started a limited amount of print advertising in the major motoring publications.
"This is very much a low-volume niche product for Chevrolet and we will not be undertaking any larger marketing campaigns. Nascar is quite a large platform in itself.
"All of our communications about the SS have acknowledged that the car was developed in partnership with Holden and is manufactured in Australia."
Initial US media impressions of the SS have anointed it as the "Rear-drive thunder from Down Under" and Farah said the car has been well received during its public appearances this year.
"The few times that I have had the opportunity to drive the car, I have been followed by interested consumers," she said. "We have gotten that same kind of feedback from the first few media who have had access to the car here in Detroit."
"We have also had a very strong response to the car at Nascar races and major US auto shows where it has been on display all year. The reveal of the car was watched online by more than 1 million people."
According to US reports, dealer allocation of the SS will be severely limited to begin with. General Motors is said to be allocating SS units to dealers based on their sales of the Chevrolet Corvette and Chevrolet Camaro.
"The target customer for the SS is a well-established professional who may have started a family a little later in life – they don't want to sacrifice the performance of sports car but need the flexibility of a sedan so the SS is ideal for their evolving lives," Farah said.
The Chevrolet SS roll-out received a timely boost this week with NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon promoting a personalised concept at the Sema show.
Gordon chose a handful of tasteful mods for the car, including a striking satin red colour scheme. The outside appearance is punctuated by lower suspension, a carbon fibre rear spoiler, custom honeycomb grille and 20-inch wheels.
Inside, Gordon opted for perforated suede seat inserts, embroidered headrests, a pedal kit and a flat-bottom steering wheel.
Performance modifications include a high-flow exhaust system and upgraded brakes.

James Bond fan ties car detail from 'Skyfall' back to '60s-era Bond
(Photo: Columbia Pictures)
Many Bond fans know the Aston Martin depicted in the above photo for the upcoming "Skyfall" installment is the same make and model -- and even color -- as the car that Sean Connery drove when he played Bond back in the '60s. But one savvy fan noticed even more similarity -- the license plate.
Going only by the username Cawrl on social media site Reddit, he or she posted a then-and-now image of the car noting, "It's little details like this that gives me hope for Skyfall! (license plate)."
The Aston Martin DB5 in the Daniel Craig photo has the license plate number BMT 216A as does the one in the Sean Connery photo (below) from 1964's "Goldfinger." (The car was also used in 1965's "Thunderball.") The Connery-era car was customized with gadgets - including a rotating license plate and a passenger ejection seat. The car was later resold (in real life) and, changing ownership again in 2010 when Ohio businessman Harry Yeaggy bought it for $4.6 million, with its original gadgetry still intact. It is set to go on display in England's Cholmondeley Pageant -- along with other Bond cars -- in a few days.
[Photos: Look back at 50 years of James Bond movie posters]
(Photo: Columbia Pictures/Everett Collection)
And while we don't know exactly what the car will do to drive the plot of "Skyfall" (yes, I went there), we do know Bond is, at least, partially set in London -- thus, presumably, the right-hand steering wheel. Moreover, Bond appears to be quite shaken and stirred by an old memory. Given the evidence, expect at least one cool vintage Aston Martin driving scene during the London-set part of the film.

Quiet and very comfortable
I don't get a quiet hotel too often but this is one. The only hickup is that you cannot turn the toilet fan off so you have to get used to its humming, which is okay after a few minutes.
Breakfast was not included and ridiculously expensive at 20
euros. I walked 5 minutes to Witte de With street where I paid less than half.
Fitness centre very nice with heated indoors pool, sauna, steam room and cardio machines. All in top condition.

A night at Inntel Hotels in Rotterdam
It's a good 4star hotel. Clean, modern, nice building in very good position close to the centre of Rotterdam. Room was comfortable with a view of the canal.
Disadvantages: Price of about 105 $ does not include breakfast which requires additionally
20 euros or about 26 $ which i consider a lot of money.
Moreover they provide me with a very thick blanket and when i asked for a thinner one they told me they brought me one exactly the same. This was suitable if you went to Rotterdam in winter time not in May.
Holland is a very expensive country in Parking your car in the centre if you are not local. They charge you from 3 to 4 euros per hour and hotel parking is also expensive varying from 20 to 30 euros. You 'll have to pay quite some money if you go to Holland by car.

I'm going out of town for a week...I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know if I'll have Internet connection there or not. So if I don't...I guess I'll see you in a week!
June 5th, 2010 11:09 AMChloèTHATS SOO COOL! I wish I had someone that goes to my school on here. :/
But, alas, tis' not so. XD
Yeah, they gave us a kids book. >.< Yeah, it's kinda cute, but in that, we're to old for this "cute" way XD
OMG totally. College will be sooooo amazing. I'm not worried at all. ~ at least we get to leave behind all the bs drama. That, I will leave behind, in a heartbeat. XD
June 4th, 2010 8:24 PMIcyArceusRiderYeeeah Sakura-chan and I go to the same school. Nyaa~
OMG, they gave you a little kids' book? Hah, I wouldn't know exactly what to think of that! But I guess it was kinda cute, huh? And by the way, I think college is going to be a lot better than high school in a lot of ways. I'm not too worried about it.

August 12th, 2009 4:59 PMIcyArceusRiderYeah, like one of the new things they're doing at my school is they're asking students to turn in their cell phones at the front of the room during class. Since phones aren't allowed to be out at my school, you know. They don't even trust people to have their phones ON THEM. It's ridiculous. I NEVER hand in mine, it's just so stupid that I don't even bother. I for one don't trust anybody with MY phone.

Government intervention in a somewhat free market usually requires a logical reason and public support. The $1 trillion intervention that the American government made in 2008, whether it has worked or not, was done with the intention of helping the American economy. However, sometimes interventionist bans come from very different backgrounds, and are purported to help citizens and the environment, or to create a law that reflects the values of a community. These laws can affect the way that citizens live, and which products and services are available to them. From Happy Meals to chewing gum, we'll look at some of the more extreme consumer-affecting government interventions.
In Pictures: Top 7 Biggest Bank Failures
Happy Meal Regulation
Let's start with a recent case of consumer-market interventionism: the banning of Happy Meals in Santa Clara, California. In parts of this county, officials are voting to ban toys and other child-focused promotions that accompany fast food. The logic behind this is simple: you don't want to reward children for eating unhealthy food. However, some council members have brought up how this can infringe on individual rights: shouldn't a parent be able to have the say over what food their children can eat, and is taking away the toy getting at the problem, or it is just a surface-level solution?
The Chain Ban
Something even more extreme than Santa Clara's Happy Meal ban is currently being discussed in the surfing community of Tofino, British Columbia, Canada. In Tofino, city council is working on banning all chain stores – with a focus on fast food franchises- from setting up shop in the seaside community. According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), District Councilman Stephen Ashton says the motion is to protect Tofino's uniqueness, but as always, arguments have flared up regarding how this law could violate Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms. (For more on how the government's actions affect consumer behavior, check out Taxes Are Controlling You.)
Plastic Problems
A common debate that has popped up over the past few years is with regards to water bottles; why do we need bottled water when we can get from the tap without causing waste? A question for the ages, but it all comes down to the markets supplying what people want. If people really don't want bottled water then they wouldn't buy it, and the bottled-water companies would have no reason to produce. However, that's obviously not the case, so in certain areas, governments have taken to removing the consumers' choice altogether. In Concord, Massachusetts, the town is banning all bottled water starting in 2011. However, at this time the ban is an intended action, as the town may need the approval of the state to make it legal. A similar ban was proposed and defeated in Ontario, Canada in 2008.
When it comes to plastic bans, San Francisco was ahead of the pack in 2007 when it outlawed plastic bags at grocery stores and pharmacies. Like the plastic bottles, San Francisco officials were worried by the unsustainability of the petroleum-based bags, and the waste that it added to landfills and city streets. San Francisco joins cities and countries from around the world in enforcing a plastic bag ban.
Sticky Situations
Chewing gum is another oft-regulated consumer good. In Singapore, for instance, chewing gum is not allowed in the entire country – although exceptions are made for medicinal chewing gum. There are also chewing gum bans in the U.S.; it was banned for 20 years at the Palm Beach airport, and was re-allowed in 2009 due to complaints by local shops who were losing out on the income generated by airport chewing gum sales. The reasons are obvious for the airport management, as gum is hard to clean up and not a necessity. At the Honolulu airport, chewing gum is still not allowed to be sold.
Blue Laws
The laws above seem to serve some sort of purpose, whether for hygiene or the perceived protection of citizens and the environment. Though these laws often infringe upon a person's or company's freedom to consume and produce, the basis of the laws lie in some form of "greater good" theory espoused by the law-making authority. Sometimes, however, these intervening laws are based on a different set of values. This is the case for many of the "blue laws" - laws in the U.S. that are related to upholding Christian ideals, such as Sunday being the day of rest.
In many states and cities, selling alcohol and other goods is illegal on Sundays and holidays, and in dry counties and towns across the U.S. (from Suwannee, Florida to Bridgewater, Connecticut), selling alcohol is altogether prohibited. In many states, like Minnesota and Illinois and Pennsylvania, the sales of cars on a Sunday is also prohibited – but in Texas, car dealers get the freedom to choose to take off either a Saturday or a Sunday. There are many more blue laws across the U.S. that limit when, where and what can be sold.
The Bottom Line
Across the world, there are strange laws made when governments decide to regulate what consumers are allowed to buy and what producers are allowed to sell. For the lawmakers, it may make sense to regulate selling and buying for a perceived "greater good," but I bet if you talked to convenience store owners in Concord, Mass or hopeful franchisees in Tofino, there'd be a different side of the story.

In the days and months ahead, the Labor party and the Israeli Left are at what could be an historical crossroad.
Regions / Israel
As Israel jumps from one self-made crisis to the next, the State of Israel itself is in an alarming condition.
The U.S. is not doing us any favors--it is endangering us for its own aggressive interests as a financial and military superpower.
There are people of good will on both sides, people not blinded by the illusion that violence solves everything.
Freezing military aid to Israel would send a message that committing human rights violations is unacceptable.
Sharon and Bush as war mongers
Last night's long-awaited speech by President Bush was to set the pace for the Palestinians and Israelis to step back from the vicious and bloody cycle of violence that has gripped them for nearly two years.
In the United States and around the world, many are questioning why, despite some mild rebukes, Washington has maintained its large-scale military, financial, and diplomatic support for the Israeli occupation in the face of unprecedented violations of international law and human rights standards by Israeli occupation forces.
Republican Right and congressional liberals join together to show support for Sharon government despite reports by Amnesty and Human Rights Watch detailing gross human rights abuses.
Divesting in countries that are in blatant violation of international and humanitarian law is not new, but with Israel, it needs to end.
