Now that I have a fuller knowledge and understanding of political scandals in general, I'm equally impressed with the alarming depth and accuracy of this movie's "fictional" script writing. The writers obviously had inside knowledge of the plutocratic string pulling that goes on in Washington.
It is puzzling, to say the least, why a movie this good is so hard to come by, especially when one considers how well-known the director is.
One man shows can be bad enough on stage. When made into movies even the good ones can be nearly unbearable. SECRET HONOR avoids all the pitfalls. For one thing, Robert Altman is a canny enough director to devise ways to keep us visually interested in what's going on.Read more ›
The set is a large, wood paneled office, apparently in Nixon's home in San Clemente, a few months after his August 1974 resignation from the Presidency. An angry and restless Nixon nervously paces back and forth with a glass of scotch whiskey in one hand and a loaded revolver lying on his desk, yelling angrily into a running tape recorder about the details of his childhood, adult life, controversial political career, his deep and unhealed resentments and miseries, repeatedly hurling a stream of caustic invective at portraits of Dwight Eisenhower, Jack Kennedy and Henry Kissinger, reserving most of his vitriolic (yet fascinating and perceptive) bile for Kissinger, rarely (typically) blaming himself for his own misdeeds, all the while intermittently and nervously scanning a battery of CCTV monitors whose cameras are already observing and recording him. Nixon on several occasions mentions the mysterious "Bohemian Grove" located in rural northern California (a subject of much "conspiracy theorizing" in recent years.Read more ›

Kids and adults had a ball. Session goes for an hour, thats a long time to bounce! $15 per person is slightly pricey but worth it for a school holiday treat. You are given new airtime grip socks at the start of your session. A fun outing.
We recently went here to celebrate a birthday. It was a fun filled hour at a great price. Having so many trampolines on the floor and walls is pretty amazing. We had heaps of fun and everyone had a go. We had people up to 65 years old having a go. It is a large area with plenty of space...
Went to air time for a toddlers session, no big kids allowed, except the adults of course! It was fantastic for our little girl as we don't have a trampoline at home she had a ball! Included in the entry to air time was free entry to treasure island in the same building, a huge indoor play area for toddlers...
Went for a tarrot reading - staff are amazing - morning tea was yummy and seeing all the historic furniture and learning about the history of the place was really interesting. Staff seem to be really passionate about their work and loved having a chat.
Lots of activities indoors which is great when visiting Tassie. Weather can be very temperamental so it is a great place to visit if you visit Launceston on a rainy day. Putt Putt golf and Treasure Island are stand outs!!
Good way to spend a few hours of rainy days if kids are climbing the walls, and a good option for a little birthday party too; they do the food, you bring the kids and cake. All over in a couple of hours, no cleaning up after, kids have a ball and it's very cost-effective :)
Rest of the centre...
A fantastic indoor facility, multi-purpose with bleacher seating, easy access, facilities in good repair. We spent 5 days there with the Australian Indoor U15 Hockey Championships and loved the centre. Accommodation near by, easy access to Launceston. Brilliant facility.

I am trying to generate hamming numbers in haskell, the problem is I get duplicate #'s in my output list and I cannot figure out why exactly. Should I just create a remove duplicates function or am I just missing something simple?
Also in the function hamming I would like to make sure the size of the input list is exactly 3, how do I find the size of a list so I can do the comparison?
{- Merge lists x&y of possibly infinite lengths -}
merge [] [] = []
merge [] ys = ys
merge xs [] = xs
merge xs ys = min x y : if x < y then merge (tail xs) ys
else merge xs (tail ys)
where x = head xs
y = head ys
{- multiply each element in y by x -}
times x [] = []
times x y = x * (head y) : times x (tail y)
{- find the hamming numbers of the input primes list -}
ham [] = []
ham x = 1 : merge (times (head x) (ham x))
(merge (times (x !! 1) (ham x)) (times (last x) (ham x)))
{- returns x hamming #'s based on y primes of size 3 -}
hamming x [] = []
hamming x y = take x (ham y)
{- hamming x y = if "y.size = 3" then take x (ham y)
else "Must supply 3 primes in input list" -}

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 vs Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7
Samsung now has two small form factor tablets in its lineup, both packing dual-core processors. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 is the slightly superior of the two, featuring a few tech treats which justify its extra cost over the Galaxy Tab 2. But just how much better is it?
We have pitted the pair of 7-inchers against each other in a tech face-off to try to figure which is the best overall. We aren't concerned just about specs either, its all about value for money and if the extra price justifies the Tab 7.7 purchase. Or is the recently announced Galaxy Tab 2 the tablet to go for?
Form Factor
- Winner: SamTab 7.7
- 196 x 133 x 7.89 mm, 335g
- Loser: SamTab 2
- 193 x 122 x 10 mm, 344g
For a tablet to have us tempted, it has to be thin and the more weight Samsung takes off something, the bigger our smiles get. It's impressive enough that both the 7.7 and Tab 2 keep their mass below 350g. Still, that extra 9g shaved off the 7.7 isn't going to be enough for you to notice it. If you want the lightest slate possible sitting in your bag, though, it's Samsung's premium offering that has it.
What really counts for the form factor round this time is that the 7.7 is more than 2 mm thinner, which might not seem much, but is enough to make the tablet feel slim. The Galaxy Tab 2 is just that tad more hefty.
- Winner: SamTab 7.7
- 7.7", 1280x800, Super AMOLED Plus, 196 ppi
- Loser: SamTab 2
- 7", 1024x600, PLS TFT, 170 ppi
Samsung is proving to be a bit of a master of the display at the moment. The Super AMOLED Plus tech in the Galaxy S II has now found its way into tablets. This is definitely a good thing. The screen in the 7.7 is absolutely stunning. Its 1280x800 resolution means it's sharp and the AMOLED Plus keeps video and images looking incredibly vivid and rich while leaving power consumption low.
The Tab 2 isn't quite as exciting. Don't expect the same levels of saturation from its PLS TFT screen. It definitely looks good, but suffers a bit of a resolution drop, resulting in loss of sharpness and pixel density. Ultimately, if a top-end display is what you are looking for, then the 7.7 is going to be the tablet for you.
Engine Room
- Winner: SamTab 7.7
- 1.4 GHz dual-core Cortex-A9, Mali-400MP, 1GB RAM
- Loser: SamTab 2
- 1GHz dual-core, 1GB RAM, GPU not announced
It's level pegging on the RAM front between both tablets, which with 1GB each should mean quite a lot of breathing room for multiple apps to be running. Sadly we don't have a GPU listed yet for the Tab 2 but the Mali-400MP in the 7.7 is a bit of a beast and, coupled with a dual-core 1.4GHz processor, will allow for even the most intense Android gaming apps to run speedily.
A drop down to 1GHz with the Tab 2 means it doesn't win this one, simply on pure power terms. Do remember though that both are going to be fast enough for top-end Android operations not to seem problematic.
- Winner: SamTab 2
- Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) + TouchWiz UX
- Loser: SamTab 7.7
- Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) + TouchWiz UX
If you are all about having the latest and greatest, its the Tab 2 that takes the win here. ICS is a more refined tablet experience and introduces a lot more cross-platform phone and slate functions than the already very good Honeycomb platform. As for the UI, each features Samsung's TouchWiz UX which adds a lot of nice social media tweaks to Android.
- Winner: SamTab 7.7
- 3MP AF LED rear facing, 2MP AF front facing
- Loser: SamTab 2
- VGA front facing, 3MP rear facing
The tablet is not the most traditional of photographic devices. Most feature little more than a 3-megapixel camera on the rear and something of a decent resolution on the front for video calling; 1080p recording is a given on both Samsung tablets.
The major differences between the pair in the photographic department is with their front-facing cameras and the fact that one has a flash and not the other. The 7.7 ups it to a 2-megapixel resolution unit, compared to the Tab 2's "VGA quality". This will make quite a difference to video calling and you will likely notice a significant quality change between the two.
We have given the win here to the 7.7 out of sheer megapixel numbers and the inclusion of LED. However, until we see test snaps from the pair of tablets against each other, it's impossible to know which truly is best. It may be that better colour saturation or sharper images come from the Tab 2. We just couldn't say.
- winner: SamTab 7.7
- 16/32/64GB + microSD
- loser: SamTab 2
- 8/16/32GB + microSD
The facts are fairly clear on this one. You can stuff more onto the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 than you can the Galaxy Tab 2. The first gives you a total possible of a hefty 64GB but the latter a whopping 96GB.
Now, while we're giving the win to the 7.7, it's worth remembering that there's something to be gained from the fact that you can get an 8GB version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Storage can be quite an expense when it comes to tablets and it'll push the price up more than an equivalent amount if microSD space might cost you. So, actually, while the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 doesn't bring the largest amount of space, it offer a more economical way of making your choice.
- Winner: SamTab 2
- Cheaper
- Loser: SamTab 7.7
- More expensive
Irritatingly, we don't have a definite price for the Tab 2 or the 7.7. Speaking to Samsung, however, and from the specs above, we can pretty much expect without doubt that the Tab 2 will be cheaper. Placed as a more mid-range device, this is really an area where the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is set to appeal.
- Winner: SamTab 7.7
- 5,100mAh
- Loser: SamTab 2
- 4,000mAh
Quantifying how much power the 7.7 and Tab 2 will suck from their battery packs is difficult. They both have dual-cores system, which is a bit more of a drain on power, so it's probably their differing displays and clock speeds that will have the biggest effects.
On the one hand, an AMOLED screen is more power-efficient but, on the other, there are more pixels to push on the 7.7. As it stands, the 7.7 is quoted at 1200 hours of standby time and 20 hours of 3G use. As yet, there are no such specs for the Galaxy Tab 2 but, at a guess, which such a large difference in battery capacity, one would expect the 7.7 to last a little longer.
We'll have to await the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 review for the full answer to that one but if you want another way of looking at it, the iPhone 4S uses a 1432mAh battery. So, effectively, the 7.7 has nearly a 4S's worth of extra power to play with - quite a bit when you think about it.
- tie: SamTab 7.7
- Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct
- tie: SamTab 2
- Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct
An orgy of connectivity options is available to both the Tab 2 and 7.7. The major punchlines are things like Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0 and Wi-Fi Direct. Both take full advantage of them. The real treat is the last of these, Wi-Fi Direct, which allows devices to sync between each other without the need to go via a conventional home network. It means you can send information with other Wi-Fi Direct compatible devices anywhere.
In the end though, both are evenly matched in the connectivity department and provide more than enough orifices in which to plug gadgetry.
- Winner: SamTab 7.7
- Loser: SamTab 2
The boxes have all been ticked and the votes are in. From a raw stats point of view, the Galaxy Tab 7.7 comes out on top, mostly because of its screen, battery and better processor clock speed. These are, after all, the fundamentals of tablet use.
However, depending on the price premium placed on the new Samsung tablet, up against the Tab 2, it may be that the extra beef simply isn't worth the cost. If you want the best of the best, the 7.7 is clearly Samsung's flagship mini tablet. It packs a massive amount of power and is one of the most potent pieces of hardware, alongside the Galaxy Note, that you can buy today but, as a mid-range piece of kit, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 looks like it'll do just fine.

Bestselling author Nora Roberts explores compelling connections between past and present in Birthright. When a construction worker discovers evidence of an ancient settlement in a small Blue Ridge Mountain community, archaeologist Callie Dunbrook is eager to start digging…even though it means working with her handsome ex-husband, Jake. When a local businesswoman claims that Callie is the child who was stolen from her in infancy, both the allure of the ancient past and violent disputes over development plans for the site are cast in stark relief. But Callie's determination to uncover the long-buried truth soon proves dangerous to her work, to her friends, to the strangers who are bound to her by blood, and to the beloved couple she always believed to be her parents.

When five-thousand-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger, and romance.
While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project-fueling rumors that the site is cursed. And she must cope with the presence of her irritatingbut irresistibleex-husband, Jake. Furthermore, when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she is forced to question her own past as well.
Editorial Reviews
Bestselling author Nora Roberts explores compelling connections between past and present in Birthright. When a construction worker discovers evidence of an ancient settlement in a small Blue Ridge Mountain community, archaeologist Callie Dunbrook is eager to start digging…even though it means working with her handsome ex-husband, Jake. When a local businesswoman claims that Callie is the child who was stolen from her in infancy, both the allure of the ancient past and violent disputes over development plans for the site are cast in stark relief. But Callie's determination to uncover the long-buried truth soon proves dangerous to her work, to her friends, to the strangers who are bound to her by blood, and to the beloved couple she always believed to be her parents. Nora Roberts has a matchless ability to blend romance and suspense, and this gift is on full display in Birthright. Sue Stone

Read an Excerpt
The bright red nose of Rudolph, his very favorite reindeer,
blinked on and off until Douglas's eyes were dazzled.
He tried to entertain himself by counting the red dots that
swam in front of his eyes, the way the Count counted on
Sesame Street.
One, two, three! Three red dots! Ha ha ha ha ha!
But it made him feel a little bit sick.
The mall was full of noise, the blasts of Christmas music
that added to his impatience, the shouts of other children,
the crying of babies.
He knew all about crying babies now that he had a little
sister. When babies cried you were supposed to pick them
up and walk around with them singing songs, or sit with
them in the rocking chair and pat them on the back till they
Babies could burp right out loud and nobody made
them say scuze me. Because, dummy, babies couldn't talk!
But Jessica wasn't crying now. She was sleeping in the
stroller and looked like a doll baby in her red dress with the
white frilly junk on it.
That's what Grandma called Jessica. Her little doll
baby. But sometimes Jessie cried and cried and her face
got all red and scrunched up. Nothing would stop her from
crying, not the singing or the walking or the rocking chair.
Douglas didn't think she looked much like a doll baby
then. She looked mean and mad. When that happened,
Mama got too tired to play with him. She was never too
tired to play with him before Jessica got in her belly.
Sometimes he didn't like having a little sister who cried
and pooped in her pants and made Mama too tired to play.
But most of the time it was okay. He liked to look at her
and watch the way she kicked her legs. And when she
grabbed his finger, really tight, it made him laugh.
Grandma said he had to protect Jessica because that's
what big brothers do. He'd worried so much about it that
he'd snuck in to sleep on the floor beside her crib just in
case the monsters who lived in the closet came to eat her in
the nighttime.
2 _ Nora Roberts
But he'd woken in his own bed in the morning, so
maybe he'd only dreamed he'd gone in to protect her.
They shuffled up in line, and Douglas glanced, a bit uneasily,
at the smiling elves who danced around Santa's
workshop. They looked a little bit mean and mad—like
Jessica when she was crying really loud.
If Jessica didn't wake up, she wasn't going to get to sit
on Santa's lap. It was stupid for Jessie to be all dressed up
to sit on Santa's lap, because she couldn't say scuze me
when she burped, and she couldn't tell Santa what she
wanted for Christmas.
But he could. He was three and a half years old. He was
a big boy now. Everyone said so.
Mama crouched down and spoke to him softly. When
she asked if he had to pee, he shook his head. She had that
tired look on her face and he was afraid if they went to the
bathroom they'd never get back in line and see Santa.
She gave his hand a squeeze, smiled at him and promised
it wouldn't be much longer.
He wanted a Hot Wheels, and a G.I. Joe, and a Fisher-
Price garage, and some Matchbox cars and a big yellow
bulldozer like the one his friend Mitch got for his birthday.
Jessica was too young to play with real toys. She just
got girl stuff like funny dresses and stuffed animals. Girls
were pretty dopey, but baby girls were even more dopey.
But he was going to tell Santa about Jessica, so he
wouldn't forget to bring stuff for her when he came down
the chimney at their house.
Mama was talking to someone, but he didn't listen. The
grown-up talk didn't interest him. Especially when the line
moved, people shifted, and he saw Santa.
He was big. It seemed to Douglas, on the first ripple of
fear, that Santa wasn't so big in the cartoons or in the pictures
in the storybooks.
He was sitting on his throne in front of his workshop.
There were lots of elves and reindeer and snowmen.
Everything was moving—heads and arms. Big, big smiles.
Santa's beard was very long. You could hardly see his
face. And when he let out a big, booming ho ho ho, the
sound of it squeezed Douglas's bladder like mean fingers.
Lights flashed, a baby wailed, elves grinned.
He was a big boy now, a big boy now. He wasn't afraid
of Santa Claus.
Mama tugged his hand, told him to go ahead. Go sit on
Santa's lap. She was smiling, too.
He took a step forward, then another, on legs that began
to shake. And Santa hoisted him up.
Merry Christmas! Have you been a good boy?
Terror struck Douglas's heart like a hatchet. The elves
were closing in, Rudolph's red nose blinked. The snowman
turned his wide, round head and leered.
The big man in the red suit held him tight and stared at
him with tiny, tiny eyes.
Screaming, struggling, Douglas tumbled out of Santa's
lap, hit the platform hard. And wet his pants.
People moved in, voices streamed above him so all he
could do was curl up and wail.
Then Mama was there, pulling him close, telling him it
was all right. Fussing over him because he'd hit his nose
and made it bleed.
She kissed him, stroked him and didn't scold him for
wetting his pants. His breath was still coming in hard little
gasps as he burrowed into her.
She gave him a big hug, lifted him up so he could press
his face to her shoulder.
Still murmuring to him, she turned.
And began to scream. And began to run.
Clinging to her, Douglas looked down. And saw Jessica's
stroller was empty.

I love a mystery and a good romance, this book intertwines both. I feel this is one of the best books Nora Roberts has written. Her family dynamics are expressed with great feeling, pulling the reader into the emotions of her writing. This is a difficult book to put down until the last page has been turned.
This was a VERY good book! Loved it! Had somm unexpected turns but thats what made it so hard to put down.
Birthright is an absolutely entertaining book !!! .. Callie Ann Dunbrook signed up for an archaeological dig not knowing that she will end up digging up her very own life. While on her way to finding the truth about her birth, she got the people behind her abduction when she was just a baby worried on what she might find. They will go a long way to stop her from finding what she wanted. Lucky for her, her not so ex-husband, Jake, is looking out for her. It also shows how second chances work for relationships that went wrong the first time. Jake and Callie, Doug and Lana, Suzanne and Jay and of course Digger are the characters you won't surely forget :))
Once again Nora Roberts has written a story that you just don't want to put down ! I would recommended it to everyone that likes her books .The plot keeps you guessing.
Well written. Keeps your interest all the way to the end.
I love this book! It is what you would expect from Nora Roberts! She is an awesome writer and has proved it again with this book! The characters and story line are great and kept me hooked and reading until I was finished with the book! A must read!!!!!!!
It is a shame that a book as wonderful as Birthright has such a horrible narrator like Bernadette Quigley. I had the unfortunate chance to hear Ms. Quigley on the Three Fates audio and it was done so poorly, I actually returned it to the store. I didn¿t check to see who was reading Birthright, much to my chagrin. Ms. Quigley does not seem to have a range of voices to pull from, such as a fellow reader of Nora Roberts, Sandra Burr. In this reading Jake sounds like an eighty year old man and it¿s actually kinda creepy. Most of the male characters all have the same `voice¿ and you aren¿t sure who is supposed to be talking until their name is spoken. Ms. Quigley does an excellent job of reading Callie. She uses just the right amount of sarcasm in her voice and Lana is pretty well done too, but beyond that, it¿s terrible. I HIGHLY recommend the book, but stay far away from the audio!
Nora Roberts knows what she is doing when she sits down and starts to tell a tale. The woman is truly talented and amazing storyteller because you are pulled in by the characters and the overwhelming plot she has cooking. Automatically you know you won't put it down till you finish the last sentence on the last page.
Omg I loved it!!!!
Love in the Dig Nora Roberts writes wonderful romances and mysteries. They hold up very well through the years. This book, published in 2003, reads as well now, in 2015, as it did then. The story features several lines for the reader to follow, but the way the chapters are divided make that pretty simple. The characters are strong and entertaining. The romance and mystery makes the reader want to not put the book down. I enjoyed it very much, and I think those readers who enjoy Roberts' writing and/or romance and mystery will, too. There is some sexual activity, but that is between love interests, and it is not graphic. Enjoy this book anytime.
Would someone please tell be the lexile for this book need for english class thanks!!!! Just cant seem to find it! :) :D
Great plot! Very well developed and gripping. Real romances: she dealt with very relevant dynamics in human relationships including disappointment, withdrawal, distrust, superficiality, loss, forgiveness, hope. She really has a gift with interpreting/describing real life responses to tragedy to the extent where she pulls the reader completely into the lives of her characters. There is a long list of admirable, imperfect, easy-to-relate-to-characters in this book. Even the murdering antagonist has you rooting for them. All in all a thrilling read that I didn't want to end. There are some books that leave you empty, disappointed, even irritated. This book left me satisfied. Take the leap, spend the money, you'll echo my sentiments.
I think Nora Roberts is a trully talented author.She has wrote sevral books but Birthright is my favorite.I love that the book Birthright is a combonation of romance and mystery. It was hard for me to put down the book after I started reading.

I was in town for a business conference. In the night, I came down with the stomach flu. Thankfully, the hotel had a 24 hr "store" that had pepto and crackers. The next day, I desperately needed a nap between sessions, and the restaurant staff agreed to let me pre order my lunch so that it was ready and waiting for me after my nap. The hotel was nice and clean and beautiful.

We have 3 indoor dogs, 2 are long hair golden retrievers. We've put up with hair and debris on the carpets because we couldn't find a vacuum with enough suction. Even our $1,200 Kirby couldn't get the job done. But, when I borrowed my neighbor's Hoover Platinum I knew my prayers were answered! Mine was on back order, but well worth the wait. My carpets look like new again and we've added another golden to the mix! THANKS ABT for great service and the best price [$] devlivered!!!

I lke the way it cleans carpets, but only so-so on bare floors. Only two attachments, and light weight ones at that. No wand extention availble so if you have drapes or spider webs on the ceiling you can't reach them. Also unit is too large to fit under and around furniture, so the lack of an extension for the hose, and a smaller power brush is a very large negative. Apparently the accountants who cut manufacturing costs on this unit never consulted the engineering department about its lack of standard cleaning applications that every home owners uses. For the price and the name I expected a premium Hoover vacumn cleaner, but my older $100.00 Hoover out performed this model, and is built out of more heavy duty and metal parts, with more cleaning tools and a longer hose. I don't advise this unit for anyone who wishes to clean their home. Its like a car with no doors, seats, window glass, or hood or trunk lid. The basis rug cleaning works, but nothing else works properly because of lack of good design.

Inadequate Height Adjustment
By Kroy
from southern california
Works great and well designed with the exception of height adjustment. Does not go hi enough for deep carpet making it difficult to maneuver in deep carpet. Brush roller is buried too deep in carpet pile; won't adjust any higher.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Had a problem with the dirt cup.Called Hoover and asked for a replacement under the 6 year warranty and they offered me a choice of replacement vacuums for the warranty as it was discontinued.Had to prove ownership with receipt and a copy of the warranty manual.When I originally invested in this cleaner it was an open box at a retail store. I compared it to a Dyson while actually plugging both in and vacuuming a carpet in store.The Hoover picked up dirt better.When I brought the cleaner home I noticed the agitator belt was broken.Got that fixed and was really amazed.I fixed the dirt cup and am a very happy owner again.hoover is the best
Hoover Platinum

I have had my Hoover Plat for about 5 plus years. Great vacum would recommend it to anyone. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs and this vacum has down its job keeping up with all the hair. I'm in the process of getting a new brush and belt. To keep running at its peak performance
Too heavy and bulky
By Mrs Ed
from Costa Rica
I bought this a few years ago, and several parts have broken, and I feel like it's named completely wrong - "Agility" does not describe it well, since it is heavy and bulky.
great suction, but has some issues
By bigjay
I bought this vaccum a year ago.The two problems that I have noticed are. The brush will not spin effectively when the height setting is on the lower settings even when run on low pile carpets. The brush will slow down and sometimes stop while running the vacuum throughout a room. I have learned to leave the height dial set above 6 so that the bush spins without bogging down during normal use. I will try a new belt, but I feel there might be a different issue. I see that other people are having the same issues and they have replaced the belt and still doesn't work right. The second issue that I have is the turbine hand tool. The vacuum does not have enough suction to spin the brush and pull the dirt from carpet or upholstery. Please email me back to see if I can have these issues solved.
Good product
By vws1

Pros: great suction, easily maintained and love the ability to change the height Cons: all plastic construction, the tool holder that mounts on front handle is easily dislodged and doesn't stay put.
By Old Timer 21
from Fort Worth, TX, United States
This is the worst quality of Hoover I have EVER owned. Where to Start: - Cord retractor did not work all the time from the start, also very weak - Sounds like a jet engine at half power, hurts your ears to use it for more than a few minutes at a time - The wand does not stay extended when you twist it and is always falling off the machine - Cheaply manufactured of light weight plastic - Tips over frequently when standing up. - The height adjustment does not change and sometimes it does. I set it on high shag and it could not be pushed through the carpet, it was set so low. I stopped it and tried to see if it was broken. I turned it over and then the adjustment worked. I gave it two stars only because it does actually clean the carpet when it does work.

So far it's been good. I hVe purchased others and they ended up being terrible. Hope this one does not turn out to be a lemon
Piece of expensive junk (cord, cord retract, clips, brushroll off, upright stability)
By SwingDanceKitten
I have only had this vacuum a few years, but already have so many issues with it that it probably isn't worth me trying to fix it (and I HATE throwing anything away). The main requirement for me when I was looking for a vacuum was a retractable cord. This vacuum did that, but the cord is a bit on the short side even though I have a very small, 1960-built house. Also, I have been using the wand from my old vacuum because I hate the type included with this machine -- you extend it and then twist to lock in place, but the lock usually doesn't hold and the wand collapses back in on itself. Plus, the powered hand tool/upholstery attachment is fairly useless. Finally, the brushroll on/off feature to turn off the brush (for hardwood) doesn't always turn off the brush. It is hit or miss. Issues with breakage include: -Electrical cord: The black covering has pulled out of the plug, exposing the insulation (and no, I do not pull from the cord, only by grasping the actual plug) -Brush clip: Broken, so you cannot store the brush on the vacuum body -Cord retraction: Sometimes it retracts on its own -Upright stability: NO LONGER STAYS UPRIGHT! I could possibly live with the rest of the issues, but this makes it impossible. It is a major pain to lift it over every threshold (since you can't just tip the vacuum back to go over, rolling on the back wheels). It is a pain to store it. And if my kids bump into it, it comes crashing down! Dangerous. I am disgusted. A vacuum should last longer than this. I guess it is time to get out my grandmother's vacuum from the 1950s. It still works!

I called for a cab, and after 20 minutes, I got the automated call that my cab would be arriving in 1 minute. Great. Except that when I went outside, there was NO CAB. I waited for 5 minutes before calling the company to see what the deal was, but was put on hold for 15 minutes before I finally hung up. All this time I was still waiting outside hoping my cab had just gotten held up, but no such luck. It was bad enough that they messed up my pickup, but they made it worse by not having anyone available to talk to and rectify the situation. Do NOT use this company.

On sunday night, a rainy one, I called to have yellowcab pick me up for an important meeting. 20 minutes later, I called for a simple update and was greeted by one of the most deplorable phone operators I have ever met in my entire life.
First, i had to wait for him to finish a 3 minute conversation with some other guy in the office. When i asked if a cab was still coming, he rudely stated ""NO, want to cancel?!""
I was shocked, and asked again if one would be coming within the next ten minutes.
He then accuses me of mumbling and not speaking english and then MAKES FUN OF ME to other people around him.
He asks if he could help me with anything up because i was ""hogging the line"" and then i ask for his name. He crassly replies with ""I'm operator 41, and I'm pretty famous around here.""
This guy had got to be kidding me.
I could not believe this guy had the audacity to be so rude to a frequent customer even though all calls were recorded.
It's scum like him that we do not need in society.
All in all, he's lost yellowcab a good customer for good.

Yellow cab is a leasing company, and as far as I know drivers can refuse work. However I have worked for three cab companies. The first one I was an independent contractor, but they had a special bidding system. Each ""area"" was assigned a 2 digit number, and when the dispatcher had calls, she would start calling them out like ""31,35,36,42,44,48,52W"". If you were in one of those areas you would bid the call ""unit 35 bids on the 44 from 70 and Springdale"", and other cabs will do the same. Then a road manager (one of the owners) would call out ""35 gets the 44"", and then the address is given to you. At that point you are obligated to take the call or you can get bumped (told to check out and go home). The other companies I was (am still) an employee, I have to go where they tell me, charge what they tell me, etc). It all depends on the company. You should call different companies and ask ""are you a leasing company?"". You will find one that isn't, and usually they are smaller outfits, but much more pleasant to deal with, good customer service, etc. Those companies hold their drivers to standards (I have to follow a dress code, shave, be showered, etc), and more and more of them are utilizing advanced gps systems to facilitate their dispatching and increase efficiency (means you dont wait as long).

1. Most people who call for a cab don't understand how a cab order works. The cab is not ""sent"", but the order is offered to the cabbies on duty. The order will be filled only , and ONLY if a cabbie decides to pick it up. In reality, a cab may never come to the call. The cabbie's are independent contractors and are their own bosses. They are , in essence, not employees of the cab company, but only lease the cab from the cab company. 2.When people call two cab companies to pick them up, they need to realize how selfish that is. That is the equivalent of calling two pizza parlors to deliver a pizza and giving the business to the first pizza delivery person that gets there first. . 3. Just as bad is calling in a cab order by phone while at the same time flagging down a cab. How would you like to be the cab driver responding to the phone order just to find out the fare had already flagged down a cab and is gone. More selfish behavior.

Hi, I am looking for a long long lost friend. His name is Sia. He is a Persian. He was a yellow cab driver before i left S.F in 1984. If anyone knows him please let him know that Hui (Indonesian friend) is looking for him. Really appreciate for the help.

If I could give less than one star I would --- it is clear this company cares nothing for their customers!
It is clear that this cab company does not train or screen their cab drivers. I flagged a cab to take me 2 miles from a club to my house -- cab # 917 and the cab driver *insisted TWICE* tha that cross streets that I had chosen ran parallel and after telling him twice that I was a local and that they did not run parrallel he took me there. Then I called the dispatcher at 333-3333 and was *hung up on* when I reported the scam and the problem.... I will * never * use yellow cab again and I will * always * tell customers of mine and vistor friends to use * any * other cab company besides yellow cab. I personally at this point would like to see yellow cab penalize for scamming the tourists of the city of san francisco -- an I have lived here my entire life! way to go yellow cab -- you guys are idiots!n posted on 10/21/08

Overall, the drivers are always good people. I however don't find this service reliable for anything important. They sometimes tell you the wait is 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile an hour goes by, and you still waiting for a taxi.

Topic: "Splash" 4-11-13 Deadline (04/04/13)
TITLE: The Randal
By Ellen Carr
�A brilliant splash of orange lights up the canvas,� gushed an art connoisseur. �In true Randal style its message is understated, drawing the eye compellingly to its glowing shape. The splash looks deceptively casual in its placement, yet sheer genius has placed it just so.�
Back at the Randals' place Sonya and Toby roared with laughter as they realised their amazing luck. They shared a surname with the renowned artist, Rupert Randal, but he was a stranger to them.
Toby screamed it out, �Two million dollars! Do you believe it Sonya?�
�No I don't,� grinned Sonya, �But it's true. And all earned fair and square!�
Sonya was an artist, of sorts. She dabbled with acrylics and sometimes oils, painting the odd still life and portrait, but she had never sold one. She exhibited her work but no-one liked it quite enough to buy one.
One cold rainy day when the family were crankily cooped up in the house, as the children cried boredom and tempers flared, Sonya had a brain-wave.
�Sacrifice a canvas or two and let the children paint.� She set Mandy to work on one and four-year-old Ryan on the other. �That should keep them busy for a while.�
The silence lasted a minute before Ryan declared he had finished. No amount of cajoling would convince him to add more to his painting. A large orange splash of paint adorned his canvas.
�Now you need to sign it,� said Sonya. �Write your name in this corner with this felt pen.� So Ryan painstakingly wrote an 'R', as much of his name as he knew.
�Well done Ryan. Now write another R for Randal,� Sonya told him. He penned another 'R' next to the first.
�Great work. Now come and wash your hands.� Sonya sighed knowing the peace was over.
At six o'clock Toby rushed in from work waving a piece of paper in front of Sonya. �There's an art competition at the city hall next week. You should enter a painting.�
�Mine aren't good enough,� said Sonya. �But our two little artists have been busy today. Come and see what they've done.�
�Yes Daddy, come and see!� chirped Ryan. �See mine, and Mandy's too.� They pulled him into the sun-room.
�I love that big splash,� exclaimed Toby. �Did you do that Ryan? I can see your signature at the bottom. What an artist! And, Mandy, yours looks wonderful! Tell me about it.�
�It's a house with you and Mummy and Ryan inside,� said Mandy.
�Just as I thought,� said Toby. �Hey, I've got a great idea. Why don't we enter these in the competition, as well as one of yours Sonya?�
So three artworks left the house for the competition. According to the rules the artists' signatures were concealed. Hundreds of people filed past the entries before the judges reached their decision. The winner was Ryan's painting, 'The Splash'.
Journalists and photographers gathered as the judges nervously uncovered the signature. When'RR' was revealed a gasp went up. Surely this was a Randal, by the famous Rupert Randal. The judges congratulated themselves for recognising genius. Cameras flashed.
The mayor congratulated the winner in absentia and announced that the paintings were for sale. The auction would begin as soon as the winners had been notified.
Sonya took the call. �Is that the Randal household?� asked a woman's voice. �I'm calling to let you know that 'The Splash' has won first prize in our art competition. It will be auctioned in ten minutes. Could you please come down immediately? Otherwise we'll arrange a phone hook-up so you can listen in.''
�I'll listen in by phone,� answered Sonya, too stunned to say anything more.
The price started at $500 dollars and Sonya gasped. Then it shot up, and up. It was $10,000 dollars and rising. Sonya sat down. It reached a million dollars and she nearly fainted. What would they say when they heard that a four-year-old had painted it?
The price kept rising until the hammer fell at two million dollars. Sonya was speechless. She put the receiver down and giggled and giggled.
