There was 4 of us - mother and 2 daughters - in their 20's and her friend. When we arrived they had yodaling (sp?) playing - that was cool. I had skied Red River about 10 years ago and wanted to take my girls. I was worred about the snow - when I was there before they had to make snow. We got 9" the first day and 10" the next. Check in was easy. OUR ROOM - #8 - 2 bedroom 1 bath condo. The balcony was huge and over looked the river running beside and the slope. The rooms were perfect. The kitchen and the living room was an open concept. VERY CLEAN. We had 2 blankets each on the beds and a cover. The second night we called and ask for more blankets because one of my daugghters wanted to sleep on the couch because her friend snores.........lol. They had blankets to us with in min. The TV was very clear. Every night they had a bomb fire (if you will) outside our room with 2 swinging chairs - (pics included) This hotel is a ski n ski out. As you know 25 year olds can get very loud at night - the way this is set up it was okay. I love you Alpine - keep in mind - if you are looking for chandeliers and crystal - go to Vail. Slopes - just great - what can I say - snow was powder like Colorada - hard to even make a snowman. Town - you can walk anywhere- LOT'S eateries everywhere and prices are good. We even walked to the grocery store 1/2 block away. We snow mobiled the 3rd day - They staff was great - and my girls thought the guides were HOT>>>>>lol (of course "I" was called down for running the mobil the wrong way on the meadow....lol) - I have NOTHING bad to say about the Alpine or the slopes or the snow mobil or the town. It was one of the best vacations I have had. I had skied Colorada, which is great, and the Catskills. They even had a liquor store....NOW HERE IT COMES..........We fly into Alb. and took Twin Hearts to Red River. This guy that drove us was Rude. We had us and 5 other people on the van. We were the last to get off. I think his name was John - not sure - wore a hat. We watched to see what the others tipped. As each one got off NO ONE TIPPED. He just got there bags and that was it - When we got out he turned to us and said "What? no tip?" I only had hundreds ad a few ones. I said - "You didn't ask any of them for a tip why us?" He replied - Yah, and wanted to punch them." Because I knew we had to be picked back up at 6:00 a.m. on the last day to get to the airport I tipped him. I wish you could hear from my girls - he drove like a maniac. It scared us to death. Now with that being said - it was a different driver who picked us up on time - drove safe in the snow and was kind. If you want any information - email me at email@example.com - p.s. they do have clubs for you who want night life.................

"Tunis, Capital of Tunisia" Top 5 Page for this destination Tunis by Childish
Tunis Travel Guide: 349 reviews and 1,127 photos
When I first visited Tunis in 2005 it was just for a couple of hours which without a guide in Medina is not enough at all for all monuments there.
So, this time I went to Tunis again and spent 8 hours in Medina. It wasn't enough as well because I often got lost but I did my best to explore this UNESCO site.
I kept walking and stopped only for 10 minutes for a coffee and an orange juice.
At some areas I was the only foreigner there but still I felt safe and everything went without a single accident.
My advice to you - take a guided tour if possible, it would save you time and you won't miss some of the places of interest there.
What I liked the most in Tunis are the administrative buildings. They are extremely beautiful...

I see Tunis is often a stop on the Cruise ship itinerary. By the beautiful buildings in your photos, it would be a nice city to spend a day or more!
Returned here to refresh my memory on Tunis. It seems you saw quite a bit on your trip there!
Nice tips Lilia!
Hi there, I love Tunisia. I think Tunis is underrated as a city, can't wait to go again. Kep well!
I agree, the medina can be confusing without a guide. It was still great fun to explore. I think we passed some of those doors too:)
hey i love visiting historical places so this look like the place for me! =) looking forward to more pix and stories....
I think it was a nice trip. Thanks for helpful tips.

The Alaskan pipeline was built in 1977 in some of the most challenging geology, weather and supply line conditions conceivable and is still in production today 35 years later. It has had leaks and maintenance along the way.

Right wing fantasy land.
You first Barry. Oh yeah, you and yours were allowed to opt out!
Yes,my rates have already sky rocketed ,I'm being forced to change plans and my employer says he can no longer pay for my health insurance so thanks democrats. I'll pay you back at the voting booth
they wont kick in your door they'll just boil that frog in your avatar one degree at a time
Either you're being sarcastic or your employer must have offered you the cheapest plan he could get that didn't previously cover any of the new mandated coverage.
My employer offers me a very good insurance package. The plan already covered all the newly mandated coverage and the cost has remained stable.
Under the new regulations for Health Care INSURANCE, supplied by a PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANY, there is now neither a yearly OR a lifetime coverage limit. Most plans also have a maximum Out-of-Pocket limit that should reduce the number of bankruptcies from medical bills.
And remember, we've ALWAYS had some faceless beancounter flipping a coin about whether the insurance company would cover any particular procedure when your doctor called for a pre-authorization.
You left off "All of this information will be kept private except from the IRS, law enforcement, telemarketers, and reality television…"
This is 1000% True as a lady asked Obama about a Needed Organ Transplant for her 90 year old Mom.

please provide some credible evidence for this post as I cannot find anything supporting it.
Oh, heck, folks. The important thing is that Lester misspelled "lets."

Love the trolling liberals on this site. The definition of a liberal is identical to the definition of stupid – one who keeps trying something that already been tried, and thinks he'll get a different result.

What is sad is most of the stuff being said against the ACA is what was said about Medicare. Some of you need to study what Reagan said. Speaking of "socialism" it seems that some have no idea what socialism is.
Editors and I decided to duplicate diction, grammatical errors and misspellings usually found in "Nigerian Prince" scam letters. Good catch.

Great Shirt...
By: Vania
This was a replacement for an old denim shirt my husband wore out. It was one of his favorites. Now this is his favorite. Bought an XL Tall, fit perfect. Washed before he wore it and it came out great. Very soft, no wrinkles and didn't fade. He wears it as an over shirt when he rides his motor cycle. He says it the perfect shirt.

Good work shirt....
By: handyman-central
I'm tough on work shirts. But I still want to look professional when I'm in a customer's home. Botton down color does that. The flap pockets keep my receipts (and lottery tickets) in a safe place. Nice pencil slot. Wears well. This is a good work shirt. One negative I notice is that the sleeves are not long enough.

Palmetto Café is always excellent! We were staying in the hotel for a business meeting and wanted to have lunch before leaving. The peach tea is just perfect and a wonderful treat on a hot, summer day and the octopus is the best anywhere I have been in the United States. Our server, Chris, was so nice, friendly and helpful! Just excellent!

Manager is a great asset to your restaurant. My parents are in the 90s and she makes sure to get them seated where they can be comfortable .
We had unexpected family come and everyone was super about accommodating them also
Breakfast Blessings
I had a Saturday business breakfast at a time of maximum tourist presence in Charleston. The Palmetto Grill took my reservation, honored it, offered attentive but not overbearing service and perfectly fine food. The restaurant was busy when I arrived and became crowded during my meeting, but we were never interrupted or inconvenienced. We thought that we were the only patrons there!
We had both breakfast one day and lunch ...
We had both breakfast one day and lunch another at the Palmetto café. Loved both of them. Buffet and a la carte options for whichever mood suits you for both. (I personally do not like buffets because I tend to overeat, but they looked really great!)
The service was great. Very comfortable. Nice outdoor patio. Portions well sized, and everything prepared perfectly. They also offer some great breakfast and lunch options (especially the ranchero eggs!)
No reservations about recommending this one, but a reservation for lunch is probably not a bad idea. Gets pretty crowded!
Very pricy for what you get
You have a choice of eating inside or out on the covered patio which is nice. We chose to eat on the patio and they very nicely accomodated us in selelcting a table out of the sun. We had a choice of the Sunday Bruch Buffet or ordering off the menu. Both options were very expensive. More expensive than other equally high quality retaurants in the area. We chose the buffet and both had omelletttes made to order which were good. There were many choices of preprepared entrees and fruits. Unfortunately the breads and pastries were pedestrian at best and looked like they had come from the grocery store. The prepared eggs benedict had been in the steamer tray for some time and looked old and congealed. We also ordered a Bloody Mary which was well prepared and a good value. While it was not a terrible meal we did not feel we got good value for our money. We will not be returning to this restaurant.

Great location and ambiance. I have had many lunches there before- celebrating various milestones- but this meal felt way subpar to me. Following an unusually long wait and purported mix-up in the kitchen the awaited meal came. Alas the soup was bland, the fish greasy and just ordinary (had to return), the crab salad just a mix of mashed up crab (no lump meat there!) with way too much mayo, and the octopus salad had far too many olives rendering it somewhat salty ( the octopus itself was well prepared). The desert was nothing to boast about that you could not find at your neighborhood eatery or supermarket. In all the food was rather lackluster and did not match the expectation and price. I have had great meals there in the past but this last visit is leaving me wondering whether or not I will be back. Something is definitely "missing" and the kitchen may have lost its cachet. I was left sadly unimpressed and disappointed. The only redeeming part was our server Tony who was impeccable in his service and professionalism.
Wedding Anniversary Sunday Brunch
I knew that we would enjoy the white tablecloth Sunday brunch at the Palmetto Cafe as we have in the past. Brandon was as efficient and helpful a server as anyone we have had; he even suggested that I try the caramel soaked brioche bread (I deferred).
For "standards," brunch (with custom omelettes, eggs benedict and salmon) was fine. I would have liked to have seen some lunch fare, however, perhaps some oysters, roast beef and shrimp for the cost.
An excellent Valentines Day Surprise
I surprised my darling wife with a trip to Charleston and brunch at the Palmetto Cafe. I had dinner there years ago, but my wife had never been. She was completely surprised and delighted!!
The food was most excellent and the service was equally superb. Our server, Liz, was very attentive, friendly, and extremely professional.
Kudos to the Palmetto Cafe, and many thanks for making our Valentines Day most memorable!!
We plan to return soon!!
Enjoyed brunch here on Sunday. Wonderful array of food including many different fruit selections as well as cheeses, yogurt, and all the usual breakfast items. Also a few not usually found on brunch tables. Delicious coffee, in either light, medium or dark roast. Impeccable service.
Sure to Impress
Lovely spot for a special occasion. Interior is fresh and bright, but outdoor dinning is an option. If you choose to dine on the patio, you will find it an oasis of ferns, fountains and succulents that is light and breezy. Food is really good. We had several dishes with lobster and they did not disappoint. The lobster meat was fresh and succulent and the portions quite generous.
The service was impeccable and detail oriented, reminiscent of old-school, five star attention. We were celebrating a birthday and were brought a beautiful dessert, on the house!
Over rated yet beautiful
Had brunch here with some friends, sat in the beautiful atrium. Service was great, place is quaint and romantic. Brunch menu was pricey and only a couple options for a non-seafood fan. Entree presentation was spot on, however the food was disappointing. She crab soup was delicious, but was lukewarm when served. All at our table agreed how the flavors of the dishes clashed. Best part of the meal were the mimosas. Overpriced for such oddly paired culinary dishes.
Best Brunch in Town
The buffet is outstanding, the service is fantastic and the Bloody Mary's are top shelf. The staff remembers your name and they make you feel welcome. No hassle to turn the table over, you can relax and enjoy your breakfast and chat with your guests. I'm a repeat customer because of it.
Always a terrific breakfast!
We have been going to Palmetto Cafe for over three years now. It has worked out that we go on Sunday's after dropping our boys at Sunday school across the street on Hasell.
Always outstanding service as you'd expect at Charleston Place hotel. Wonderful assortment on the buffet, with just about everything you could want from made to order omelets to caramel brioche. Wonderful pastries, and local favorite cheese grits. We have ordered pancakes off the menu for our picky 12 year old, they were light and fluffy!
Reservations are almost a must to avoid waiting during tourist season, but because of the buffet tables turn pretty fast! Mimosas on Sunday after 10am!
The Palmetto Cafe - Wonderful Peaceful Oasis
The Palmetto Café never disappoints. From great service and great food to a beautiful place to dine, there is only positives to report from our last dining experience. I personally love the octopus and have rarely found it prepared as well in the United States as at The Palmetto Café. The peach iced tea is a great starter with a variety of choices of entrees to please a crowd. Anything from seafood to steaks and excellent desserts - it is all excellent.
As anticipated with new serving method..
The Palmetto Cafe is a required stop for us when in Charleston. Always consistant in quality, preparation and interesting combinations along with traditional cuisine. She crab soup and Gazpacho we presented expertly. Don't want to give the particulars away! You must go.

I eventually received this through an alternate source and it is of good quality. Especially useful in opening cans that contain saltwater as this is stainless and holds up well. My only problem was that I received the wrong one and there were no markings or packaging on the one I received. Not sure if the manufacturer dropped the ball by not putting a part number or?? It certainly made for a bad shopping experience.

For most of the time, 3 follows the crowd and takes on handsets produced by the major names, but it sometimes does its own thing and this is one of those times. INQ is a new hardware manufacturer. Backed by 3's parent Hutchison Whampoa the relationship between manufacturer and operator is, well, cosy.
Moreover the INQ1 is available on PAYG or on a range of pre-pay tariffs including two special INQ tariffs at £15 and £20 which offer unlimited mobile Internet, texting and 3 to 3 calls. They include 75 and 200 cross network talk minutes respectively.
I liked the Skypephone S2 enough to give it a Recommended Award - something I rarely give to any mobile phone. The S2 was 3's second Skype-focussed handset and was a vast improvement on the original Skypephone.
The INQ1 includes the Skype stuff and takes things a step further by putting Facebook at its heart. So is it a first-time hit or a phone that might be better in its second generation?
Actually that question is a bit redundant, because there is a very real sense in which the INQ1 is a build on the Skypephones rather than a new concept. I say this because the Skype software and Skypephones' user interface are very much a key part of the INQ1.
I logged into my Skype account in just a couple of seconds and had access to all my Skype contacts in just a few seconds more. With an option for automatic login, you can be Skyping away very easily, both making voice calls and using Skype chat. The charging regime for Skype calling is made clear in 3's Terms and Conditions. I won't repeat it all here, but it is worth pointing out that PAYG customers must keep their phone topped up to use Skype.

This is becoming the book that doesn't end.
I loved it at first, but when I hit the 400s, I started to lose interest. It's not the story that's losing me; I think it's more the long, drawn-out way the story is being told. Do I need every last detail about a meeting in a museum? Maybe, but I don't see it right now. Fingers crossed it all comes together in the end.
ETA: It turned out not so bad after all. No, the ending didn't make up for the looong drawn-out descriptions of certain things, but I felt satisfied with the conclusion. It's not a story that will stick with me - I was able to pick up another book right away - and I won't be rereading this, but I can give it a solid rating of Good.
Made it to Chapter 32, and it just didn't grab me. Not because it's poorly written or plotted, but I'm just not in the mood for it. Well written, with intriguing characters, but make sure you're ready for a quiet, slow paced mystery.
I read this book because I really liked [b:The Historian|10692|The Historian|Elizabeth Kostova|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51D6T04WTFL._SL75_.jpg|3061272] and when I saw it in the library I just had to get it, I wish I hadn't.
Not one of the characters in this story was in anyway engaging,in fact they are all seriously annoying. The psychiatrist who can get a stone to talk but fails to get his patient to talk,maybe he should have tried talking to a stone it might have made for a better story.He is also completely unprofessional,I wouldn't have thought that having sex with your patient's ex-girlfriend would be encouraged. Having read this book I can't see why either the ex-wife or the ex-girlfriend would have ever put up with Robert,why would any woman with an ounce of self-respect put up with a partner that took off for days without saying anything about where they were going or had been.I could go one about all the things that Robert does and these women put up with but if I do I won't stop.
Given the way the women in this book are so badly written if I hadn't known I would have said that it was written by a man it's very difficult to believe that a woman could write women so badly.
I know one review said that if you liked [b:The Da Vinci Code|968|The Da Vinci Code (Robert Langdon, #2)|Dan Brown|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255581720s/968.jpg|2982101]then you would like this,I have to disagree.While The Da Vinci Code was badly written and had plot holes that you could drive a bus through at least it was mindless entertainment sort of the book equivalent of a summer blockbuster.
The Swan Thieves – Elizabeth Kostova
4 stars (with reservations)
After the well known artist, Robert Oliver, pulls a knife on a 19th century painting in the National Art Gallery, he is quite naturally referred for psychiatric evaluation. He is sent to a private hospital and placed under the care of psychiatrist Andrew Marlow. Marlow is himself an artist. When his patient stops speaking, Marlow is overcome with curiosity concerning the case. He goes to extraordinary (and mostly unbelievable) lengths to uncover the roots of Robert Oliver's obsession. The modern story is told in the voices of Marlow, Kate, the patient's ex-wife, and Mary, the ex-girlfriend. A second historical storyline dealing with the source of Robert's obsession is frequently told through a series of old letters. Maintaining his silence, Robert Oliver contributes little to his own history.
To enjoy this book at all, I first had to accept that this was in no way the real world of psychiatric intervention. The author goes to great lengths to avoid disclosing a diagnosis. It is clearly an extreme case of bipolar disorder. In the real world, the man would be diagnosed, hospitalized until his meds were adjusted and released until the next time he chose to go off meds. I once worked in such a hospital, so it was very hard for me to believe in Andrew Marlow as a doctor.
It was the descriptions of the art and the artists' process that carried the book for me. Kostova did a terrific job of capturing the transforming effect great art can have on those who view it.
The 19th century story line was beautifully told in a way that really made the characters come alive. As the modern story progressed it became clear how Robert Oliver came to be obsessed and then delusional concerning the artistic past.
This is a long, slow moving book. For the most part, I liked it very much. Someone without my jaded experience with our mental health system might enjoy it even more. For a portrayal of mental disease and treatment, I would give it two stars, but I'll just let that go. As a story, I started giving it 3.5 stars and increased that to 4 stars based on the artistic details.
Kostova's prose is rich and elegant, and the story that comes to life here -- rather, the various stories that come to life -- wanders within it beautifully. From the beginning, it's difficult not to be drawn into the world of the painter who chose to attack a painting, and the man who attempts to untangle his story and his sanity.
Yet, there is a 'yet'. Though the novel is entrancing from the beginning, something of its magic is lost as it veers in various directions, from recent history back through generations, tracking both letters and lives. Beyond the painter and his therapist, there are other contemporary characters are slightly more superficial, slightly less full, and as various chapters wandered back further into history, I found myself wishing that the novel would have stayed with them, rather than tracing stories so far backward into what was less compelling, except in its relation to the present.
But, all told, there's a calmness and a loveliness to this novel that makes me glad to have stumbled upon it. I think probably that the title and the cover drew me in more than anything, which is fine--I think a reader who's drawn to either will find a lot to love here. I suppose, in the end, I just wish that it had stayed more tightly focused, or spent more of its length upon the women in the book so that they felt a bit more fully considered, and less stereo-typed. When their voices were filling the pages, they were very alive, but when they were in the background, they seemed barely considered, and as if they took a back seat to the looks back in history.
This may be part of the goal of the book, to watch how certain contemporary situations and people paled in comparison to the history with some perspectives, and not with others, but I admit that I could have done with fewer looks back, whether that would have meant more time in the present, or simply a shorter work. Some of those moments felt too... considered, too formed, too perfect. It may be going too far to say that they felt as if they were trying too hard, in a sort of MFA-altered fashion, but I'm not sure it's far from the truth, as they didn't feel fully natural to the book and to the story.
That said, I'm glad to have stumbled on the book, and I'll certainly read Kostova's more widely known Historian, if not more of her work even beyond that.
"She has worked hard to construct an elaborate fiction of intertwining lives, but the whole situation in which the characters intertwine feels contrived, and they cross as the result of too much coincidence."
"But Kostova's new book, set partly in Washington, tells a rather simple story, and its characters, although they sometimes insist otherwise, don't change radically over time."
Kostova clearly did her research, richly painting images of famous and lesser-known works of art, and the settings that inspired them. But overall, the story just isn't gripping. It feels overstuffed with description and underdeveloped in terms of plot. It's a mystery without suspense.

Psychiatrist Andrew Marlowe, devoted to his profession and the painting hobby he loves, has a solitary but ordered life. When renowned painter Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes his patient, Marlow finds that order destroyed. Desperate to understand the secret that torments the genius, he embarks on a journey that leads him into the lives of the women closest to Oliver and a tragedy at the heart of French Impressionism.… (more)

The Kural is one of the most important forms of classical Tamil language poetry. It is a very short poetic form, exactly in 2 lines, the first line consisting of 4 words and the second line consisting of 3. It should also conform to the grammar for Venpa. The Tirukkuṛaḷ, one of the greatest philosophical works in Tamil language by Tiruvalluvar, is a typical example.
There are 1330 poems in 133 chapters ( each chapter consists of 10 poem). These 133 chapters are under broad classification of 3 parts
1. Arathupal. 2. Porutpal. 3. Kamathupal.
Here is an example:
- Pleasure, rhythm, power, surprise
- Rhyme's glorious conquistadors
