WELCOME to the Boston Flute Academy, a world-class flute community for all ages and abilities!
BFA Kicks off the 2015-2016 school year with BSO Principal Flute Elizabeth Rowe!
Our Flute Masterclass with BSO Flutist Elizabeth Rowe was held on SUNDAY SEPT 27th from 10am-12:30pm at the Maliotis Cultural Center in Brookline. Performers included high school and college members of the BFA Sunday Studio Class. Lots of orchestral excerpts, some Bach and Bloch too! Last 30 minutes of the event was a special Question & Answer Session where audience members had the opportunity to ask Ms Rowe questions about her life in the Boston Symphony Orchestra! She was so gracious in sharing many of her philosophies on what it means to be a musician. We had an insider's look into what life is like for a principal player in one of the world's top orchestras. What is it like to play for the world's most famous conductors, including the new Maestro at BSO? Flute students of all ages and their families attended this free event, taking home invaluable ideas for how to improve their own flute playing and approach to musicianship. Elizabeth Rowe is a phenomenal teacher, and we were so lucky to spend the morning with this amazing flutist!
We are delighted to announce that Boston Flute Academy faculty and students were invited to perform, present, and teach at the 2015 National Flute Association Convention:
CONGRATULATIONS to everyone on your invitation to perform at NFA and thank you for representing the Boston Flute Academy in Washington, DC!

Elusive 1855-O Eagle, AU501855-O $10 AU50 PCGS. According to Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, 1855-O eagles in AU grades are "very rare." Not surprising, considering the paltry mintage of 18,000 pieces. The present coin features a sharp strike, with a touch of wear showing on the eagle's neck and Liberty's hair. Attractive, satiny mint luster highlights the surfaces. A few abrasions are consistent with the grade. Population: 16 in 50, 9 finer (12/08).(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 263M, PCGS# 8617)

Lenovo to buy IBM server unit
Publication Date : 24-01-2014
Lenovo Group Ltd, the world's biggest personal computer maker, will buy IBM Corp's x86 server unit for US$2.3 billion, Lenovo said on Thursday.
The deal - the largest tech acquisition ever by a Chinese company - will help Lenovo add $5 billion in operating revenue annually and have a bigger say in the global IT hardware space, said Yang Yuanqing, chairman and chief executive officer of the Beijing-based company.
"We're satisfied with the price of the deal, because we believe the company has acquired a very good-quality asset," Yang said.
The Chinese company will take in about 7,500 former IBM employees.
"The acquisition was a huge bargain for Lenovo, which is eyeing a bigger presence in the information and communication technology market," said Antonio Wang, associate director and project leader for IDC China's client system research department.
According to estimates by industry insiders, IBM's server unit was thought to be worth as much as $5 billion.
Lenovo will become the third-largest x86 server maker globally and the biggest in China after the deal is closed, IDC said. The company was the seventh largest as of the third quarter of 2013, with 2.6 per cent of the global market share.
Texas-based manufacturer Dell Inc was the top server provider in China as of the third quarter of 2013. Dell held more than 20 per cent of the nation's x86 server market at that point, data from IDC showed.
"Lenovo will recover its investment in about five years as the unit is able to generate $300 million to $500 million in annual profit," Wang added.
Yang was more conservative about the unit's profitability, saying the business barely earned profits for IBM over the past quarters, but he added the company is confident about the unit's long-term earning potential.
"We'll enjoy a sharper growth curve in the server sector than in the PC market, because Lenovo has become a global company and is more experienced now," Yang added.
Lenovo took about five years to bring its PC sector back on track after it acquired IBM's PC unit in 2005 for $1.25 billion.
Gene Cao, senior analyst at Forrester Research Inc, warned that Lenovo should learn some lessons from the previous buyout of IBM's PC business.
"The company should find ways to keep the R&D team at the unit and better integrate sales channels," said Cao.
Yang said that integrating new units of this size will not be a problem for Lenovo, because the company is strong and flexible enough to quickly merge new units into its global structure.
The deal is expected to be completed in the next few months after passing a regulatory review process in the United States.
"This new IBM-Lenovo deal may potentially receive more attention from US authorities than the PC business acquisition years ago," said Cao.
Many x86 servers are used in key areas in the US, including government, telecommunications and financial system offices.
The US government is known to be sensitive when it comes to Chinese M&A deals in the IT sector.
In 2011, Chinese company Huawei Technologies Co Ltd's attempt to acquire US-based 3Leaf Systems Inc was blocked by the US government, which cited security concerns.
Lenovo will fully cooperate with the US government's review process, Yang said.
Lenovo is vigorously exploring both the consumer electronics and enterprise equipment markets amid the slump in the global PC market.

Industries seek uses for tiny tech
Marcelene Edwards: Members of the Tacoma Technology Consortium got together this week to talk about nanotechnology – that vague classification of technology that experts have claimed for the last decade will change our lives. But now, companies in the area – including a few in Bremerton and Thurston County – actually are working with nanotechnology.

editor's review
SchilliX is an open source and bootable Live operating system derived from the OpenSolaris distribution. It has been declared as the the first pure OpenSolaris-based Live CD/DVD and uses a monolithic kernel from the Illumos UNIX OS.
It's available for download as an archived Live DVD
The good news is that users will have to download an XZ archive or approximately 400MB in size, which contains the 1.2GB Live DVD ISO image, in order to use SchilliX.
The GRUB bootloader includes powerful options
When booting the SchilliX ISO image from the BIOS of a computer, using either a DVD disc or a USB thumb drive of 2GB or higher capacity, the user will encounter a boot menu powered by the GEUB bootloader.
From there, you can boot the live system in full mode or in RAM only. It supports both 32-bit (i386) and 64-bit (amd64) instruction set architectures, and includes several boot options for each of the aforementioned modes.
Be aware though, that the operating system has been designed mostly for German users, which means that you must boot with the "Ask KBD layout" option if you want to use the OS in English.
In addition, you can perform a system memory (RAM) diagnostic test or boot an existing operating system that is currently installed on the first disk detected by the BIOS.
The best way to experience OpenSolaris technologies
Be aware that you will be dropped to a shell prompt, when booting the Live CD, where you have to login using the "schillix" username and password combination (without quotes, of course).
The operating system includes several command-line tools, such as cdrecord, star, bash, bz2, fakeroot, gmake, gpatch, gtar, gzip, pod2man, texinfo, unzip, wget, GCC, smake as /usr/ccs/bin/make, as well as all Schilly tools. It can be easily installed to a local drive and features self healing services.

|Fantasy Football's 10 Commandments
January 30 07:49 PM
The Boston Herald reports that Baltimore safety Ed Reed could "definitely" picture himself playing for New England head coach Bill Belichick.
Fantasy Spin:
Reed also made headlines by admitting to having lapses in his memory as a result of multiple concussions throughout his career. Reed said earlier this offseason that he'll definitely be back for the 2013 season but he didn't necessarily mean with the Ravens. Sports Illustrated's Peter King pointed out that New England could be a good fit for Reed about a week ago so the idea of Reed playing for the Patriots didn't just come out of left field.

Monitoring health-related quality of life in paediatric practice: development of an innovative web-based application

3 Paediatric Rheumatology, Jan van Breemen Instituut, Dr Jan van Breemenstraat 2, 1056 AB Amsterdam, the Netherlands
BMC Pediatrics 2011, 11:3 doi:10.1186/1471-2431-11-3Published: 12 January 2011
Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) questionnaires are increasingly used in clinical practice. These Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) are provided to the paediatrician to facilitate communication with patients during a consultation. The aim of the current article is to describe the development and introduction of a new web-based application for the use of PROs in daily paediatric clinical practice.
Currently, the use of PROs in daily clinical practice is very time consuming and often has logistical problems. The use of a web-based programme can overcome these problems and contributes to an improved use of PROs in clinical practice. We therefore developed an easily accessible website (KLIK) for outpatient treatment and a training programme for paediatricians to maximize the effectiveness and the practical use of PROs (KLIK PROfile).
The KLIK study was launched in August 2008 to evaluate the use of the KLIK PROfile in daily clinical practice. The KLIK study evaluates whether feedback from HRQOL data could influence patient satisfaction with the consultation, the advice given, the type of referrals and topics discussed. In this multicentre study, a control group (without the use of the KLIK PROfile) is compared to an intervention group (with the use of the KLIK PROfile). A sequential cohort design is chosen to avoid contamination between the study groups.
Based on the positive experiences with the use of the KLIK PROfile acquired during the study we conclude that the KLIK PROfile may contribute to systematically monitor and discuss HRQOL issues during consultations. The next steps will be a comprehensive evaluation of the KLIK study data and the implementation of the KLIK PROfile in daily clinical practice in different patient groups.

Or is it just not done. I mean, a comma, or question mark might be nice to put into the title of a work of art.

I don't know what kind of database software is used here on FAA, but most database software goes completely nuts when it sees punctuation marks because punctuation marks mean something different to a computer than they do to a human. I expect that's why we can't use them here.
Posted by: Doug Srock on 2 Years Ago

Because punctuation marks are not actual text. They are translated into their ASCII codes and most databases can't handle that easily.

As a programmer I can tell you that while technically true it is certainly easily overcome with a little creative programming. It is done everyday.. I think it is just not on the priority list of the programming staff here.

There is no creative programming on this site.
And the way he's rendering pages, dealing with Ascii conversion especially in URL's would not be "simple."
It would require additional code he is simply not using.
Plus, he's still coding the site to the HTML 4.01 standard.
It won't be long before the whole thing crashes in most browsers as unreadable and obsolete.

You can use question marks - I have them in two titles.
Posted by: Jeff Kolker on 2 Years Ago

I think it has to do with making the site as "Google friendly" as possible... but it would be nice, as sometimes the title NEEDS the punctuation or it won't make sense..or less sense.

I have worked around this somewhat by using a capitol "I" as a divider. I used to use a small "l" (ell) but Sean switched the header so all words begin with a capitol and my "l" became "L" and I had to go back and change all my titles that I had done this to. I don't know why he did this because standard titles don't start every word with a capitol-words like "the" and I don't think it would affect the google search. Jim Vansant

My workaround is to use the 'real' title -- with proper punctuation, case, etc. -- as the first line of my description. That way, there's at least a chance of having the correct title seen and (hopefully) appreciated.
@Mary -- Interesting! I've never been able to make that happen. Though dashes/hyphens and apostrophes work okay.
Posted by: Mary Bedy on 2 Years Ago
2 Years Ago
That's odd, Wendy. I have two titles (that I can think of off the top of my head) that have had question marks in them for over a year. I know they didn't work when I first joined in 2010. I also have apostrophes in some, but commas and dashes don't work. Nor do accent marks. In fact, accent marks don't even work in keywords, which I would like because the foreign names of places, etc. are spelled wrong in my descriptions without the accent marks.

I agree that it is bothersome and, as Mary stated, this is an international site, isn't it?

The actor cum singer Sophie Choudry has always managed to impress the judges and audience by adorning different garbs in her acts. The journey of Jhalak is full of ups and downs and Sophie has continuously managed to wow the viewers.
As reported earlier this week too she is set to 'me-wow' us by turning into a cat! But there's something else that is just going to take her performance to the next level!
Yes, we hear that Sophie is all set to notch up higher in the competition as she will be seen moon-walking on the stage of Jhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa Season 7. And who better to learn it from than two of the best dancers in the industry - Remo Dsouza and Shahid Kapoor!
Yes, two of the best dancers of tinsel town, Remo and Shahid will be seen teaching the fiddly art of moon-walking to Sophie and like a fast learner Sophie Choudry matches to the perfect step.
Well, it will be a treat to see the three smashing dancers Remo, Shahid and Sophie do a moon walk on the stage of Jhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa Season 7!

8. Returns & Refunds: Goods should be checked before signing for them. Goods arriving in damaged packaging should be rejected. Any damage or missing content found when unpacking the items should be reported to us immediately. Any items found to be faulty up to 14 days after taking delivery must be reported to us within those 14 days to be eligible for a refund. Instructions will be given regarding return of goods. A refund will only be issued once goods have been received back and tested. Any goods which are subsequently found to be working without fault will not be refunded, but can be re delivered at the buyers expense. Goods which are reported faulty after 14 days of delivery are not covered by a refund. Unless stated otherwise, all goods are tested in full working order before dispatch. Certain items are excluded from our returns and refunds policy. These include • Batteries included in equipment such as laptops or other portable equipment (see note A) • Items described as UNTESTED, SOLD AS SEEN or SPARES / REPAIR • Hard Disk Drives and Installed Software (see note B) • Ink and Laser Toner Cartridges (Unless otherwise stated) • Computers with Driver related issues. (see note C) • Printers with Driver related issues. (see note C) Note A: Batteries included with laptops and other portable devices are considered to be consumable items by original equipment manufacturers and unless otherwise stated in our listings, we do not offer any guarantee in terms of the performance of these items. Note B: Pre installed software on any computer is provided 'as is', and is not included or covered in any form of warranty. Hard Disk drives are excluded from our returns policy, as we cannot guarantee their lifespan or previous usage, UNLESS they are DOA, or stated as brand new. In compliance with industry standards we destroy all data from previous users and do check the drives for obvious failures, however 'bad blocks' or slow access times are commonplace with older drives and we cannot protect against or prevent these.

Equally we do not provide printer drivers unless otherwise stated, although in 99% of cases it is easy to obtain these from the manufacturers' website Sometimes an item is bid on and won only to realise that it was a mistake on the buyers part. Our policy is flexible and we try to accommodate such mistakes. There may be an administrative charge of £10. If the item was sent and the buyer realised that it was their error, then we will refund the selling price, not the postage, as long as the item is returned in the same condition it was sent.

If you can't find something good to eat, you probably aren't looking hard enough. The people are very friendly and helpful. Language was not an issue, and if the person did not fully understand English, we made it work with gestures and maps. My hotel was ...

She seems to have settled well into the new apartment and enjoys the extra space; particularly as it allows her to chase her tail with less likelihood of bumping her head. We all had a cup of tea and headed to bed - Sarah and Max have work tomorrow, so didn't need a late ...

I would like to point out the advantages of staying in a fancy inn as opposed to a chain hotel. One, the bed is super comfortable and the pillows nice and plentiful. Two, very nice toiletries, like bath salts and face wipes. And finally, a more delicious breakfast than you would get at a Holiday Inn. The Portsmouth Harbor Inn serves at 2 course breakfast at 8:30.

Jaws (The Collector's Edition Soundtrack)
John Williams
Abre iTunes para escuchar un fragmento, comprar y descargar música.
|20 canciones
Reseña de álbum
John Williams' first film score to capture the imagination of the public, and the first hit movie score of the 1970s not to involve a love theme (à la Love Story), Jaws has been on CD for more than a decade, but this is the first release that really does it justice. The centerpiece of the music is the bump-bump-bump-bump theme associated with the movements (usually unseen) of the shark, which became so well known that it was used as an essential part of various comedy sketches in a multitude of media at the time (Williams himself quoted it comically in his scoring for Steven Spielberg's 1941). It does reappear in numerous forms (many of them veiled) throughout the score, along with a handful of additional memorable musical phrases associated with Williams' score, many involving the hunt for the shark. The anniversary edition of the score not only features the familiar portions of the original album, which didn't amount to 40 minutes of music, but 15 minutes or more of Williams' score from the actual film, and also music that was written and recorded for the movie but dropped from it. Little is totally unfamiliar, but the 24-bit remastering off of the original tapes adds fresh luster to the recording and the music. It's doubly interesting, hearing the music uncut and remastered, to realize anew just how many of the effects that turn up at key points in this score Williams reused in his music for Close Encounters of the Third Kind and other scores of his. This was not only where Williams' career as a superstar soundtrack composer began but also where he first started using the musical attributes that would identify that phase of his career.

I love audible
This album somehow really gave me the confidence to feel like I could really lose the weight this time. I feel great and motivate.
How easy it was to apply to my every day life.
No characters in this book.. not that kind of a book.
No.. I know this happens over time.
Can't wait to see what the next 4 weeks holds... my goal is to lose at least 10 more lbs.. I know I can do it.
There really is no character - well I guess I am the lead, lol!
Yes, and this one is just as good.
it's more a a nightly ritual for me
feel much more confident which in turn is helping me shed those pounds too.
I've only heard the audio - but LOVE IT!!
Prior to listening, I didn't know how to attract a woman or how to approach her. Since I've been listening, I've had 3 woman come up to me and start talking to me in the past week and I've started 4 convos on my own.. without feeling like I wouldn't know what to say. I feel so much more confident!
The way he makes it all seem so easy... like anyone can do it.

Welcome to Tri-Valley Classic Chevy Club!
The purpose of the Tri-Valley Classic Chevy Club (TVCCC) is the restoration, preservation and enjoyment of '55, '56 and '57 Classic Chevrolet vehicles to provide and regulate events, tours, and car shows for its membership. We also assist each other in locating parts and working on each other's vehicles.
Jerry Clancey, Dan Bobbit and Mel Matsuoka took their cars to Hot Danville Nights. It was another great turnout of cars and peopel at the show. Jerry was all set up with his super attention getter tray, so fun watching peopel check it out and explain to kids what it is! Don't miss the next one on August 13th.
And look who showed up to visit the TVCCC group at Danville
Peg it was nice to see you and no excusses anymore about missing meetings!
The TriFive Nationals are coming this August. This is the first time for this event where they expect over 2,500 TriFive Chevys to be at. Show includes huge swap meet, drags, Gasser collection, tours and one huge vehicle show. So if you own a Trifive Chevy of any type you need to attend, if you don't own one you should be there too......just don't bring a vehicle if its not a TriFive Chevy!

This ended up being far more stressful than necessary, since the airport has the weirdest set up I've ever seen: the terminal simply fronts onto a busy local road where it's incredibly difficult to turn around (you can see this clearly in Google Maps). There isn't even a traffic signal or roundabout to control access; it's insane. Anyways, we had trouble finding ...
Back on land
... everything seemed in order although it was really hot, but not smelly as we had remembered to throw out the milk and cheese. A nice Swiss man in a nearby car said his hadn't started as the battery went flat (apparently they don't like extreme heat and it was 35 ℃ in the car park) but the car park employs a mechanic especially to help when your car won't start - so that was good to know. But we were only putting our big bags away as Derek had booked us all into an hotel ...
Venice, here at last
... Arriving in Venice was exciting! You cross the big lagoon and enter a canal world of old buildings and charm. Our hotel is quite close to the train station and the 'top' or entry to Venice and we found it by luck quite quickly as street names are very hard to find. We did the usual check in and headed out for a quick explore. Our concierge was able to give us a discount on a gondola ride so we booked that for tonight as it looked as though the weather may weaken ...

Online publication www.niche.com recently ranked Monticello sixth in 2015 Best Towns to Raise a Family in Illinois. The Piatt County community ranked 58th nation-wide. We asked some local families why they located – and stayed – in Monticello. Here are their responses:
Susan Houska
Construction on the Kirby Wellness Trail, a one-mile paved trail around the Kirby Medical Center campus is set to start in June, according Kirby Medical Center chief executive officer, Steve Tenhouse.
The thrust for the 2015 Relay for Life of Piatt County is the same as every other year since 1999 – to raise money for the American Cancer Society, applaud cancer survivors and remember friends and loved ones who have been taken by the disease.
Sarah Bush Lincoln Health System in Mattoon has announced Shelly Tolly as the new Peace Meal site supervisor for Monticello, as of April 13.
David Remmert, public health director for the DeWitt/Piatt Bi-County Health Department, is reminding residents to take precautions against insects that might spread disease.
Cerro Gordo Middle School teacher and basketball coach Jason Jacobs learned CPR as a part of lifeguard training when he was just 16 years old.
When the U.S. national banking system was formed through legislation in 1863 through 1865, First National Bank of Mattoon immediately jumped on board and has been in continuous operation since just after the end of the Civil War.
When Heather Kelly was 12-years-old, her first watercolor painting fetched $500 at a county fair auction in Texas.
She has been hooked on art ever since. But making a living at it? That's a different story.
Bement United Methodist Church minister Jeremy Lafary and Gary L. Shaffer took time Saturday to read excerpts aloud from a eulogy given after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln 150 years ago.
Not long ago, Monticello Theatre Association founding member Lana Ross was pretty sure a second-hand awning that had been salvaged from Ameren in Clinton would have no place at MTA's Phoenix theatre in Monticello.

A terrible tragedy has rattled the core of Brooklyn's Hasidic Jewish community. Husband and wife Nachman and Raizel Glauber, both 21, were killed as they sped in a taxicab to deliver their first child. Their newborn son survived shortly at Bellevue Hospital before passing away shortly afterwards.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The couple were on their way to the Long Island College Hospital in Cobble Hill after the seven-months-pregnant Raizel experienced labor pains.
Policemen are still looking for the suspect or suspects driving the BMW that collided with the cab at Kent Avenue and Wilson Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Hasidic community spokesman Isaac Abraham says that the baby's remains will be taken to the medical examiner's office. The newborn's body will be named, circumcised and buried with the parents.
"We in the community are going to demand that the prosecution charge these cowards with triple homicide and nothing less," Abraham said, referring to the driver of the BMW.
Abraham noted the child's initial survival Sunday had given hope that the dead parents had left behind something the community could cling to. "Even that has been taken away," Abraham said. "This couple leaves nothing behind."
"God is punishing me for my sins by taking away my daughter," Raizel Glauber's father, Yitzchak Silberstein, said in Yiddish at the couple's funeral Sunday afternoon, before the child died. "Nobody knows how this could happen."
According to witnesses, the couple was riding in the back of the black 2008 Toyota Camry cab heading west on Wilson St. when a gray 2010 BMW sedan speeding north slammed into them about 12:30 a.m., cops said.
The couple had just married in January of last year.
"They were excited to start a family," said Sarah Gluck, Nachman's cousin. "They were always glowing."
It was unclear if the doomed couple's cabbie braked for the stop sign at the intersection. The BMW driver had no stop sign on Kent Ave., a main thoroughfare.
"I don't remember anything," 32-year-old livery cab driver Pedro Nunez said at his home in Brooklyn, after he was released from Bellevue Hospital.
Nunez, who was dazed and sedated after treatment for chest bruises, could not recall whether he ran a stop sign or if the Glaubers had been wearing seatbelts.
"They told me it was a hit and run. There's an investigation," he said.

TravelPod Member ReviewsSan Juan Beach Hotel
Excellent front desk staff, beautiful location in Condado near all the expensive shops and tourist type stuff, hotel is right on the beach and not too far from Viejo San Juan. Fair prices too. The only thing I would complain about is the shower/water pressure, but we found that to be common in Puerto Rico.

Historical Traveler Reviews San Juan Beach Hotel
Rooms really really damp
went w/ my BF in february. we stayed at the regency the same week and much preferred that hotel. this hotel had a bit more character, more color in the lobby, and a restaurant/bar (which we didn't bother with), but a huge drawback was how damp the room was. it may have been partly b/c it faced the ocean, but it really made us feel sticky the whole time we were there. good location, though. the condado is def an up and coming area and in five years will be a huge tourist hotspot. next time we'll def be staying at the regency instead of this hotel.
Look no further!
We researched hotels for hours before deciding on this one. Ignore the negative reviews here - some people can just never be pleased! (BTW - the wrecking ball has stopped swinging). The staff was exceptionally friendly, and very helpful. The ocean view was incredible, the beautiful pool was spotless. The beach, although not optimal for swimming (rough surf), was great for a nice walk and just a few steps from the hotel patio area. We had an ocean view for a fraction of competing hotels. The renovation is complete, and the rooms are bright, cheery and very comfortable. They spared no expense in renovating them! The A/C was cold, but not really necessary since the windows opened. Which is a bit of a rarity. Nothing like falling asleep and waking to the pleasant sounds of the Atlantic surf rushing just below... The hotel is conveniently located to everything (Old San Juan is just a short taxi ride away, and there is a nice casino about two blocks away). There are at least 3 wonderful moderately-priced restaurants within a five minute walk. Convenience stores and souvenier shops are just as close, with even a 24-hour Subway. Hotel even has live entertainment, there was a piano player almost every night, and on Saturday's, a wonderful dance party - although not too distracting if not your cup of tea. The restaurant area also has a nice bar, just a few steps from the pool (you MUST try the Rum punch!)Would stay here again in a hearbeat. No regrets whatsoever! Enjoy your trip!
Recent Stay in January, 2004 at the San Juan Beach Hotel
My husband & I arrived in early January, 2004 on a Sunday after 1PM to a lobby, restaurant and bar area that were VERY dirty. There was rubbish from the previous night's party strewn all over the lobby and bar area. Our room was okay-but there was a pair of DIRTY socks on the floor in the middle of the room. Next door to the hotel is an old hotel that is being torn down. So we got to see the magnificent views of the cranes and to listen to them working daily. While we were sitting outside in the pool area, the dust and dirt from the demolition would land on us and in the pool. The whole area near the hotel looks like a war zone. The only good feature was the hotel personnel. They were very friendly and helpful to us.
We Had Fun
The hotel is a good buy. However, you need to realize that demolition with a wrecking ball is going on next door. (The Condado Beach Hotel is coming down.)The San Juan Beach Hotel (Old Ramada) was clean, there were plenty of towels, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location allows you to go without a rental car and there are several restaurants to choose in the neighborhood. It is located next to a park and provides a little room to walk on the beach. The ocean is too dangerous for bathing, but you can walk to the more subdued lagoon Condado Beach to swim. We had fun!
Recently Renovated
Hotel is in the process of being renovated, and the a/c system is getting replaced. Room is not fancy, nor is it new, but it was clean and acceptable including the bathroom. Furniture looks new like it has been recently replaced. Everything in the room was in good working order, and the hot water, even on the 10th floor in the morning was plentiful. Windows were new and could be opened for a breeze from the lagoon on one side and the ocean on the other. This hotel is convinient to the cruise ship docks, and minutes from old San Juan. The hotel staff is very polite and helpful. Right down the street from thehotel is the Cartier, Mont Blanc and Louis Vitton stores, and across the street from one of San Juans good, moderately priced places to eat local Puerto Rican food, Aijili Mohili. (Cost per person approx 15-25 us dollars.) Only drawback that i felt this hotel had, was inflated dining room prices, compared with what you could dine nearby for. I would stay here again when in the area. Good value for the money!
Bacteria Frapp
My husband and I stayed at the Ramada San Juan Beach in August 2003.
Upon entering the Ramada, the decor is colorful and contemporary. The staff is friendly and helpful. Nice, but you can't ignore the damp air and overwhelming smell of mold and mildew throughout the hotel. Our room was was damp and warm. The air conditioner was noisy and discharged water on the carpet. The carpet was stretched and coming up in several areas and the bedspread had holes in it. The paint was peeling off the wall and mildew was visable on the ceiling and in the corners of the room. The bathroom left a lot to be desired as well. The shower didn't work properly and the towels were thin, didn't match and were actually coming apart on the ends. Needless to say, we didn't rest most of the night. It reminded me of a damp basement. My husband refers to the experience as a night at camp. Early the next morning we put on our damp clothes and checked out. I likened the experience to sleeping in a basement. My husband commented it was like spending a night at camp. We will most likely not stay in a Ramada again. We will definately not stay in this hotel when in San Juan.
Ramada San Juan
On a recent trip to San Juan, my boyfriend and I stayed at the Ramada Inn--San Juan. I must admit that I was impressed. The hotel is conveniently located on one of San Juan's busiest public beaches and in close proximity to shops and public transportation. Throughout our stay, the hotel was kept clean and the staff was friendly and eager to assist us (from restaraunt recommendations to ordering a cab).Although the hotel is not a four-star accomodation, the hotel provides everything that a leisure or business traveler will need: iron boards, blow dryers, computer ports, an on-site pool, spacious rooms and a staff that speaks both English and Spanish.The only downsides that I found was that there wasn't free continental breakfast and that housecleaning may not get around to cleaning the room until late evening (we made several calls to the front desk for clean linen). The hotel pool is small and if you can't swim..beware..the pool starts at five feet and then jumps to ten!!!! In addition, there are no lifeguards poolside. However, if you are travelling to San Juan and would like to stay in a nice hotel (at a reasonable per night rate and you don't want to pay the casino taxes associated with the major hotel chains that have casinos), the Ramada Inn San Juan is the hotel for you!
Going Back Soon
My mom and I stayed at the Ramada San Juan in March of 2002 and really enjoyed it. We got a great vacation deal with airfare and hotel included. The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms were a little humid, but we didn't stay in the rooms all day, so it wasn't an issue. We did have to call and ask for towels, but the staff brought them up in no time. The continental breakfast was great. The pool and view were wonderful. I'm the type of person that likes to get out and see things on vacation, so I had no problem walking the short blocks to the beach. The area is full of great restaurants, some very affordable and tasty, some not so affordable and tasty. It's a short .25 cent bus ride to Old San Juan which can be an adventure. I plan on going back for the week of Memorial Day with my mom. We explored other hotel options in the area, but decided that the Ramada San Juan has everything we need. Plus the great deal allows us to spend money on exploring other parts of this beautiful island. Tip: If you rent a car, plan to drive aggressively, it's the only way you'll survive!
If you want towels don't stay here!!
The Condado area is run down. There is an abandond hotel right next to this Ramada and another one next to that. This area is one step above a ghetto. I highly recommend a 5 star Hotel if you even consider going to Puerto Rico, and stay away from the Candado, Old San Juan, San Juan area, it's run down. The Ramada was reminiscent of how the area feels, tired and run down. The shower spills water out onto the floor and good luck getting any towels. When they clean your room they don't leave any towels. When you call for towels you have to wait at least an hour and you better call back every half hour because they probably forgot your request. Ohh yea and don't try to hang out by the pool after 10:00PM it's closed. You can't even sit out there on a late night and enjoy the ocean. Ohh yea and the ocean is all rocks in back of the Ramada you have to go down the block for the closest usable beach...It's ridiculous...The staff is nice but very s-l-o-w.....Stay away from this whole area, I recommend going to the rain forest and staying at a 5 star Hotel - period, other than that don't bother.
Tired Romada
I read the other reviews and can't believe we were all at the same place. If you want a very good location with a nice pool at a reasonable price, than stay here. If you want a clean, nicely decorated room, a shower that doesn't pour water on the floor, staff that provides extra towels because you just used them to sop up the mess, an airconditioner that is whisper quiet, than don't stay here because this place needs work and looks tired.

Roamin' in Old San Juan
... energy wasn't quite as much energy as we had hoped and we wandered briefly through just a fraction of the fort in the glaring sun before we gave up.
We stumbled back to the car (I'm not over dramatic, you are!) and cranked the air conditioning up full blast. We had only been out for a few hours but it was more than enough for us. I'm only a little disappointed that I didn't do a better job leading us through Old San Juan, but what we did see was pretty awesome.
