Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Taurito Princess
Best family holiday ever Suite Princess
We have recently spent a family holiday at the Suite Princess.All I can say is excellent the food was out of this world, and the childrens entertainment was second to none.A very quite and relaxing place, all the different nationailies were brilliant and we found each other watching out for each others children.We will deffinatly go back again.
We loved this place
we have just returned from 7 days at this hotel.We had a great week.If you want a peaceful resort in a clean but ageing hotel, with good food, good service and very friendly staff and atmosphere plus reasonable entertainment. You won't regret booking in here.The beach is a 60 second stroll away and they give you the beach towels,so don't bother packing them. On the downside the camera shop next to the hotel is a little expensive.He will be very nice and polite and sell you a digital camcorder saying he has honesty and morals.Top tip if you wish to buy a cheap item of this kind,use the internet cafe in the hotel to research models and prices.Do not let him stamp the gaurantee until you are happy as he will not refund or exchange.make sure you ask if he will exchange as he wont tell you he will but he will make you believe there is no problem.he is a very sneaky guy,beware.hotel=great, staff=great, service=great. don't forget to upgrade to all inclusive well worth it.
This hotel is excellent!!!
I went here last year with 2 of my friends and we had an excellent time!! The hotel was clean, food was excellent, staff were really friendly! I'm going to come back with my friends again. The clubs are in puerto rico and it doesn't cost much to go, by bus �1 and taxi �5-10. Staying here you get the best of both worlds, sight seeing in the day and raving at night. But if you only want to go raving then playa de ingles is best for you or maybe just stay at home!!! It was good to see their culture too! Being 19 at the time even though we're into the clubs we thought it would be best to see what the country has to offer otherwise whats the point on going, we got clubs here in London too!?!
Roach haven
i really had a bad experience at this hotel that iwould like to share with you holiday makers! i have stayed at taurito hotel about two years egothat particular night was very hot so i slept without any nightie on,i wake up in the middle of the night with the feeling that something was walking on me crippy,jump out of bed like a crayzy screaming like a mad turn on the light !find giant cocroach on bed , can you imagine how i felt after
Sun, Sea & Peace
If you want sun, beach and pool by day with undisturbed sleep at night, the Taurito Princess is worth considering (but avoid a first floor room directly above the evening entertainment). Whilst there is a beach is right next to the hotel, it is not the cleanest but there is a much better one a short bus ride away if thats important to you. Whilst the hotel is kept clean, the maintenance of some equipment could be better in a relatively expensive 4* hotel. We arrived to find a towel rail off the wall and it took over an hour for the bath water to drain away. They failed to clear the drain properly over our two week stay despite making us stay out of the bathroom completely for 22 hours while they tried acid with toxic fumes! We were offered another room but with our children in the adjoining one, preferred to stay where we were. With no window in bathroom or toilet, could have done with an extractor fan, as would have been required in UK. The lifts were not as reliable as they needed to be for the size of hotel. In the dining room, good food was frequently spoiled by failure to serve at right temperature and we often wished the vegetables in the evening could be as warm as the fruit juice in the morning! The room itself could get a bit too hot if seated near the serving area. Most waiters The long, narrow shape of the evening entertainment room means only a few people can get tables with a good view of the stage area and the atmosphere was too hot, smoky and stuffy for our taste. We didnt see enough to comment on the shows. The hotel courtesy bus is a very nice coach that can take you to the busy shopping centre in Puerto Rico or more attractive harbour and shops in Mogan. TIPS: Avoid the phone cards from Foto Taurito next door to the hotel as you only get 18 minutes (and we only got 15) for 12 Euros. The Mundophone card on sale in Mogan gives 71 mins for only 5 Euros! The Spar supermarket in Mogan is cheaper than the one in Taurito. The free Blanket Trip is basically a sales promotion for a Birmingham based bedding company and a shoe shop. If you get travel sick, take medication before Spirit of the Sea to see dolphins etc.
A lovely but aging hotel.
An elegant old lady who is starting to show a few wrinkles is how I would describe the Taurito Princess. The hotel is definitely showing some signs of wear and tear in the fixtures and fittings although not badly enough to spoil the holiday. The three lifts are very temperamental and you do need to be very patient but we were never without at least one working lift. The lifts seemed to work better in the cooler mornings and suffered with the heat like the humans. we were glad we were not on a high floor.The standard of cleaning in the hotel was good although a mid week change of bed linen would have been nice.
All towels supplied to us were very thin, some even had holes in them.The food in the restaurant was good although not brilliant. The meat and fish were very nice as were some of the salads but the cooked vegetables apart from potatoes could have been better. Also the same variety of cold soup was served every day and only two choices of hot soup in the week we were there. We found all the staff friendly and helpful although some nights in the salon Princess you had to wait a while to get served. We also enjoyed the entertainment and seeing the Drifters was a real trip down memory lane and the room was packed. The resort is quiet but it said that in the brochure and that is why we chose it. We didn't like Puerto Rico but Purto Morgan is lovely and easy to get to. We used the public bus service and it was fine.We went on the Yellow submarine and this trip was far better than we expected, the vip island tour - great- no shopping trips and no pressure to buy the video but the one trip you should try and budget for (approx �100.00 each) is the half hour helecopter trip - FANTASTIC. The air conditioning in our room worked very well although the public rooms got very hot. Travelling with air europa we didn't benifit from the special check in services in the Thompson Platinum deal and we have stayed in better 4* hotels that haven't had a special rating.My husband and I are often poorly when abroad and this time we had no health problems at all so that should say somthing good about the hotel and resort.We were on holiday from 11th to 18th August 2003. Weather very hot - between 36 to 40 degrees. Mr & Mrs T Brown Norfolk
Think Carefully
Good Points: -. Hotel looks good from outside . Food is mostly Very Good . Hotel Baggage Check-In Good (Saves Time) . Nice Sea View from most RoomsBad Points:. Not Enough Staff, (especially Bar Areas) . One or Two rude Waiters in the Restaurant . Hotel Entertainment Mostly Bad, (80s Feel) . Bars/Clubs in Porto Rico are Crap, and full of Parents with Kids. . Pigeon Droppings on Balconys (Not cleaned) . Local people drive into Resort to use Hotel Pool . Dodgy Air-Con (in Most Rooms)Summary:Do not go if you enjoy lively Bars/Clubs, you will need to travel to Playa da Ingles which costs around �15 to �20 each way by Taxi. But if you are looking for a quiet break (and I mean quiet go for it)
Great Get Away
Beautiful spot for a relaxing vacation in the sun. Not overcrowded. The accomodations were nice and the hotel staff very friendly. The village of Mogan is much worth seeing and the restaurants along the harbour are wonderful. Friendly place to visit ...you will want to go back.
Great hotel this!!
This hotel was incredible!! I visited last year and am going back again this year (July 2003). The roms were very spacious and they (aswell as the rest of the hotel) were cleaned to the highest of standards. The beach is quiet and so relaxing you fall asleep!! The pool was cold but that is something you get used to as the sea is freezing forst thing in the morning. The food was good and the transfers were very interesting, particularly the friday market where everything is cheap!! I would recommend this hotel to anyone including family as the people make you feel incredibly welcome and the overall standard is amazing, definitely worthy of being a 4 star hotel, if not then a 5 star. I look forward to going in 2 weeks time!!!

Very clean hotel with lots to do. Not very far from the beach. Great excursions to other parts of Gran Canaria. Our best excursion was Camel Capers. Very good fun if u want to experiance something different. The beach is not very full and u can rent a sun lounger for 2 euros. Resturants around the hotel r very good and reasonable.

Christmas on the islands
... stayed in with no blinking lights. I took a nice nap and then we packed up our big suit cases. The bikes, vans and big suit cases will all travel tonight on a ferry over to Tennerife. We went to the pool for afternoon tea time. Merry Christmas sitting in the sun enjoying tea is amazing. Tonight was dinner on our own so we ordered room service early and had delicious fish and filet. It was early bedtime since we have to meet at 5:45 am and I want to feel ...

After a shower we changed into our suits and walked a block down to the beach. It was a very windy day so there was no swimming but there is an extensive boardwalk area along the waterside with shops ...

We left Saturday afteroon to go camping at Llano de La Pez, a camping site near Roque Nublo. It took us about 1 hour to 1.5 hours to get there, the roads were very curvy and bumpy, at one point we had to get out of the car and let it cool off because the engine was over heating. As soon as we arrived to camping site it started raining, so we set up the tents as fast as possible and took cover. The camp site was ...

SEOUL, Dec. 9 (Yonhap) -- The Doosan Bears announced on Monday they've acquired former Major League Baseball (MLB) slugger Jorge Cantu.
The Seoul-based Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) club said they signed the 31-year-old infielder for US$250,000 for next season, along with a signing bonus of $50,000.
Cantu becomes the first position player from overseas to join a KBO club since 2011. Teams here are allowed two foreign players each -- with an exception for the expansion team the NC Dinos, who can have three foreign players in their first two seasons -- and they've filled their quotas with pitchers the past two seasons.
Cantu is an eight-year MLB veteran who made his debut with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2004. He belted 28 home runs and drove in a career-best 117 runs in 2005, along with a .286 batting average.
With the Florida (now Miami) Marlins in 2008, Cantu established a new career-best with 29 home runs, while putting up 95 RBIs and a .277 average.
For his career, Cantu had 104 home runs and 476 RBIs and batted .271 in 847 games.
In the majors, Cantu played every infield position, but primarily played third base. He spent the 2013 season with the Quintana Roo Tigers in the Mexican League, considered on par with Triple-A ball in the U.S. minor league system. He also smacked 31 home runs along with 71 RBIs in 83 games.
The Bears said they see him as a corner infielder who could produce some pop from the heart of the order.
The Bears finished the runner-up to the Samsung Lions in the Korean Series this year, blowing a 3-1 series lead. They lost their slugging first baseman Choi Jun-seok via free agency, while veteran third baseman Kim Dong-joo, who has 273 career home runs in 16 seasons with the Bears, reportedly fell out of favor with the management and didn't see any action after May 17.

I have an unusual scenario & problem:
- I have three operating systems installed on a laptop: Windows 7, Windows 8 Developer Preview and Windows Vista.
- I have a partition for each operating system and 4th one where data is stored, so that it can be accessed from all operating systems.
Now, I have the following need:
- I want Windows 8 and Windows Vista to access all partitions except the Windows 7 one.
- I want Windows 7 to NOT be able to access all the other partitions except the one on which it is installed.
How can I "lock" Windows 7 from writing or accessing the other partitions? Also, how can I "lock" the other OSes from writing or accessing the Windows 7 partition?

Reviews for Project Akilah Inc
I have a personal connection to Rwanda and a fondness for this country that went through one of the most brutal events in the history of humankind, the 1994 genocide. I literally "stumbled" upon The Akilah project and was awed by its mission and authentic commitment to improving the lives of young women by investing in them instead of providing hands out or further 'victimizing' them. I admire the vision of the founders and the tenacity of Akilah Team to ensure young women in Rwanda are in a position to build a better future for themselves and for their country. Akilah should stay focused on this mission. Too many projects in emerging economies and less developed countries expand once they do well and take on too much. The learning environment created by Akilah in Rwanda not only imparts education but, most importantly, teaches young women to be proud of what they accomplish and who they are. This is about dignity and self esteem, attributes that go a long way in promoting the rights of women. Another important achievement of Akilah is its capacity to bridge cultural gaps and bring the people of the US closer to the reality of Rwanda. I helped out during their recent "Urban Safari" across the US to raise money for student scholarships and was moved by the impact this project is having on helping American re-frame the post genocide narrative of Rwanda. it is important to let people know what is good that is coming out of this country now and what the young generation is doing to move on. I commend Akilah for its vision, focus and commitment to the young women of Rwanda.

Bill Margold is back to introduce us to more outdoor sex at "Eden Gardens West". It's actually the large backyard of a southern California home, but it's big enough to pass as the idyllic setting. Always the agent at heart, Margold has two brand new girls and one fairly new one to show us.
Orchid screws Jim Sparks in a van, and Yvonne takes it up the ass from Mark Davis on an outdoor stairway, while Asia Carrera and Tom Byron settle for doing it in the grass. A most unusual setting for the tape's obligatory Sapphic number has Danyel Cheeks and Shane getting it on on a trampoline. At least they lie down while doing their thing so I didn't get dizzy. Byron again pops up for the last scene, an anal with Kim Chambers. None of the action is spectacularly memorable, but the camerawork is good and the settings unusual — so recommend this tape for your customers who are looking for something a bit outré.

Skip to comments.Kent Sorenson, Bachmanns Iowa chair, defects to Paul
Posted on 12/28/2011 8:33:49 PM PST by cornfedcowboy
Talk about fairweather friends. Iowa state Sen. Kent Sorenson (R), who was Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmanns state campaign chairman, endorsed Texas Rep. Ron Paul Wednesday night.
At a rally in Des Moines, Sorenson told the crowd, Were going to take Ron Paul all the way to the White House.
He did not tell Bachmann of his decision until he was en route to the Paul rally, billed as an event for veterans.
This is hard, he said of his decision to leave Bachmann, explaining that he felt obligated to defend Paul against the Republican establishment. He elaborated in a statement, saying he felt Paul was the most conservative candidate who had a realistic shot at defeating former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
That's pretty defective.......
He sure did not go from a conservative
to a crazy libertine for the idealism.
In a follow-up interview, Sorenson categorically denied having received any offer of compensation by Paul's campaign.
Listen, that's absurd. Like I said before, people on this campaign supported me in my race. They worked tirelessly for me. They stuffed envelopes, they door knocked for me," he said. "I feel like I'm coming home to them.
I don't know about ya'll but I can't have much respect for a move like this.
Not the biggest fan of Sorenson before the, not any bigger fan now.
That's pretty gutless too.
Not the biggest fan of Sorenson before THIS, not any bigger fan now.
Proofreading is your friend FV. (smacks head)
What did he do? Text her 'CU L8R'?.......
I liked Kent but now taking another look. Gave him a few bucks too. He won a tough race.
romney's last chance. He's spreading the money. Have to give him credit, his group is at least as nasty as zero's. Integrity hasn't taken a back seat to our electoral process, its gone back to the Roman Republic. We've de-evolutionized 2000 yrs in 8.
Probably. LOL!
Bachmann probably drove Sorenson crazy, causing him to run to the whack job.
Kent Sorenson - Another political hack who thinks he's bigger than the game
Such people can never be trusted by anyone.
At a rally in Des Moines, Sorenson told the crowd, Were going to take Ron Paul all the way to the White House.
Well I took my wife to the White House but that doesn't mean she is the President. And being taken there as a visitor is as far as that bag of mixed nuts Ron Paul will ever get.....
I'm not part of the "Republican establishment," and there is absolutely NO way that I will ever vote for Ron Paul. I'd seriously consider voting for President Obama if Ron Paul is the Republican nominee (and it pains me no end to write that). Ron Paul, in my opinion, is that bad. A Ron Paul presidency would be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. ANY of the Republican candidates, including Romney, would be better than Paul.
PGR88: "Kent Sorenson - Another political hack who thinks hes bigger than the game"
That's my assessment, too. It doesn't surprise me one bit. After all, he left the Bachmann campaign to back Ron Paul. That pretty much says all I need to know about his character.
If RuPaul somehow gets the GOP nomination, I will vote third party.
the dirty libertarian Ron Paul will take any dirty rat. I spit on them both. I spit on their shoes. (Giuseppi in Unfaitfully Yours. Giuseppi was right.)
what a snake
Wow, he just lost the trust of anyone in the future handling it like that. The fact that he may have switched over to that nutjob Paul for a few pieces of gold taints him even more. Makes you wonder how good a job he was (not) doing for Bachmann.
Maybe not so much "for the money," as "because of who has the money." Bachmann is a fine lady, but she doesn't have the money or momentum to challenge Romney. Gingrich is running out of money (see: Virginia signatures). Santorum never had any money. Huntsman...is Romney without money.
So, you're left with Romney and Paul. They have the money to seriously challenge for the nomination. Take your pick; one of them will likely be the nominee. This guy chose Paul, who, if nothing else, is not part of the GOP establishment, whatever his other faults.
At 1.16am in the morning, you made me laugh so hard ! Thanks for that comment !
I feel exactly the same as you.
Is Kent Sorenson any relation to Ted Sorenson, the suck up to the JFK family who promised to "never let Camelot die"?
What a scumbag.
"What a scumbag."
He is a political hack. There are no virtuous politicians or political operatives in America today. I no longer have high expectations of anyone involved in the political process. The patriots have been dead for years.
Has nothing to do with Michele Bachmann... NOTHING...
It says much about Iowa Republicans when the chairman endorses a candidate before the caucus.
What an idiot!
He leaves Bachmann for Paul????
Makes you wonder how good a job he was (not) doing for Bachmann.
"When President Obama opined during his 2011 State of the Union speech that a corporate tax-rate cut might be just the thing for America after a year of record corporate profits, his left-wing base was shocked and dismayed. Heck, some conservatives were caught offguard, too. Perhaps they hadnt noticed who was running the Obama administration: In large part, the same guys who plan to be running the next Republican administration."
—Repo Men (Wall St. bankers and D.C. ruling class, "more than a few of them belong in prison.")
Actual conservatives like Bachmann will never be welcome in the club of interior decorator termites that are nibbling away at the woodwork of the Republic for their own enrichment.

Performing, communication and visual arts - together in one school. Overview of our Areas of Study
José Antonio Bowen has been Dean of the Meadows School of the Arts, Algur H. Meadows Chair and Professor of Music at Southern Methodist University since 2006. His teaching career began at Stanford University in 1982, as the Director of Jazz Ensembles. In 1994, he became the Founding Director of the Centre for the History and Analysis of Recorded Music (C.H.A.R.M.) at the University of Southampton, England. He returned to America in 1999 as the first holder of the endowed Caestecker Chair of Music in the new Program in the Performing Arts at Georgetown University. He was then Dean of Fine Arts and Professor of Music at Miami University before moving to SMU in Dallas.
Bowen has written over 100 scholarly articles in many journals including the Journal of Musicology, The Journal of Musicological Research, Performance Practice Review, Journal of the Royal Musical Associations, Studi Musicali, the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians and in books from Oxford and Princeton university presses. He is also the editor of the Cambridge Companion to Conducting (Cambridge University Press, 2003), and he received a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Fellowship. He contributed to Discover Jazz (Pearson, 2011) and served as an editor (along with David Baker, Dan Morgenstern, John Hasse, and Alyn Shipton) of the 6-CD set, Jazz: The Smithsonian Anthology (2011). His TED talk on Beethoven as Bill Gates is featured on the TED website.
Bowen has also been a pioneer in active learning and the use of technology in the classroom, including podcasts and online games. He has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, USA Today, US News and World Report, and on NPR for his concept, now encompassed by his book, Teaching Naked: How Moving Technology Out of Your College Classroom Will Improve Student Learning (Jossey-Bass, August, 2012). He was nominated by both students and colleagues for teaching awards at Georgetown and Miami, and in 1990 he received a Stanford Centennial Award for Undergraduate Teaching.
In over 30 years as a jazz performer, he has appeared in Europe, Israel and the United States with Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, Bobby McFerrin, Dave Brubeck, Liberace and many others. His compositions, conducting and playing are featured on numerous recordings and his latest CD, Uncrowded Night, features his playing with the José Bowen Quartet. He has written a symphony (which was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Music in 1985), a film score, and music for Hubert Laws, Jerry Garcia and many others.
Bowen holds four degrees from Stanford University – a Bachelor of Science in chemistry, a Master of Arts in music composition, a Master of Arts in humanities and a joint Ph.D. in musicology and humanities – and is a Founding Board Member of the National Recording Preservation Board for the Library of Congress. In 1996, Bowen was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA) in England.

I have been using autohotkey on a terminal with 122 keys. I remapped the keys so that their original funky uses are now much closer to normal modern computers. I also mapped a scancode to Windows since the keyboard came without a windows key.
This worked fine.
Now I am trying to create macros involving the use of this windows key.
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
MouseClick, Left, -1075, 700
CoordMode, Mouse, Relative
Run http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbay&gbh=1
The two above codes, windows-1 and windows-4, work perfectly with my other keyboards, including a Model F (ie older keyboard) and a very modern Cherry keyboard. (Note that I also created a windows key for the Model F since it comes without windows keys)
But I simply can't get these to work on my 122-key terminal. If I press #1 on my terminal, it either brings up nothing, or it brings up the windows menu and puts a 1 in the "search programs and files" field. My Model F and Cherry G80 are connected to the computer also and they can execute these macros fine.
Does anyone have a solution?

Retro Finishes
For walls, there are two main vintage choices: tile and beadboard. With tile, choose rectangular subway tile or 4-inch square tiles (6-inch and 8-inch square tiles have a more modern look). Handmade tiles or ones with a crackle finish add to the old-fashioned effect. White-painted beadboard is a tried-and-true favorite, whether it is installed the original way in individual planks or as panels. The best floor choices are ceramic or stone tile in a mosaic, basketweave, or checkerboard pattern (shown); an all-white or black-and-white palette is classic and keeps options open for other decorating choices. Glossy polished stone is more traditional than matte. Another bath surface to consider is the countertop; there, white or gray marble best recapture the past.

Skip to comments.Couples who share the housework are more likely to divorce, study finds
Posted on 09/28/2012 8:13:10 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd
click here to read article
Last weekend my son had a friend stay over. That kid has everything done for him. My son, on the other hand, knows how to clean, do laundry, mow the lawn, cook, etc. As a matter of fact, his chickens tenders are better than mine!
The boys decided to make some cookies. That kid was lost in the kitchen . . . couldn't tell the difference between the sugar and the flour. It was pitiful watching him.
But I would like to know why men can't seem to remember where stuff goes. If a cupboard is filled with all Tupperware, why would you think that a Corningware dish goes in there?
They do it intentionally so the wife tell him to not ever touch those again.
When I devote my "free" time to my career, the yard, or repairs - she complains about the house, or $#it just piles up. When I help around the house she complains about money, the yard or what's broken - but only when there is an audience of friends or family.
Maybe, just maybe housework isn't the underlying causal factor.
My dh is retired, he's in the kitchen ALL THE TIME. He decided we'd buy and cook our own foods. I hate it. I always considered the house to be my domain-I decided where things went, what we ate, did the laundry (I don't fold them fast enough), you know, homemaker stuff. He leaves the drawers and cupboards open and he washes only HIS dishes, which fills up the drainer which I have to empty prior to doing MY dishes. I bet most of the divorces originate in the kitchen, not the bedroom. LOL
IMO people still want life to be gender divided.
Wonder how that works for gay people...
FWIW, I can cook, clean and take care of myself in the absence of a wife and have done so on numerous occasions when my wife has been out of town for extended times to care for an elderly relative or a daughter who just gave birth.
I love my wife dearly, but sometimes I actually look forward to these absences because I can cook what I want, when I want it, open the sardines and get the deer sausage out of the freezer to fry up without anybody complaining. I can also turn down the heat to 55 degrees or so where I am most comfortable and leave the toilet seat up.
I suspect there are a lot of menfolk in exactly the same situation.
Well, I'm sure I'm the exception, but I've never been with a woman who could cook worth a hoot... I'm no French chef, but you can only stand sharing so many meals of bad food, before you just step in and take over, regardless.
Right now I'm thinking about one girl in particular, she said she wanted our first meal together to be special, so she was going to fix spaghetti the way her mom use to make it...well, I pity that whole family. Two pounds of spaghetti boiled in a pot, only half drained, and then about four ounces of cooked hamburger, and I swear to goodness, she emptied an institutional size can of tomato juice, *Juice* mind you, over the whole thing, and salt...nothing else...and then put that watery soup on to a plate, and waited for my compliments.
I told her that her hair looked really nice... ;^)
The woman lived on fast food and microwave popcorn... had a freezer full of TV dinners for the kids, and steaks in the refrigerator for the weekend, when she liked to grill. The cupboard full of popcorn, and one solitary sauce pan and that was it. Apparently, she made a special trip to get a box of spaghetti and a can of juice for me...LOL
My sister is worse... on Christmas, my mom makes the turkey and all the family members arrive with a covered dish. Every year, my sister comes with hotdogs microwaved in barbeque sauce with toothpicks in them. She used to live off fast food at home...when her daughter, my niece, took over the cooking, she was just a little girl, she asked her mom how to turn on the oven, and my sister didn't know. Elementary school, and a little girl is cooking and cleaning for her mom, because she knows otherwise it won't get done. Now my niece is in her twenties and my sister has a mental conniption anytime it looks like her daughter's ready to move out of the house...she's losing her cook and her maid.
It's probably just as well... If I ever met a woman who could really cook, I wouldn't know how to handle it, I'd probably be 400 pounds. I'd rather stay single...anyway, running the monastery gives me a tax break :^(
"I hate to say you are on to something, but it does seem every time I do one of these chores instead of quiet appreciation I generally get a stern lecture about how I effed it all up."
BINGO! Some of the worst fights I've ever had with my wife is over how I clean the house. Finally, I said screw it and hired some cleaning help. My wife has been relatively pleased with the help but I'm still responsible for the end result.
I dated a girl about twenty years ago who wanted to fix me a meal.
It was FRIED catfish, FRIED hush puppies, and FRIED okra.
I dont remember how it tasted, but I remember thinking this girl would have me die of a heart attack before I made it to 40. Of course, I kept her around until I upgraded.
"but it does seem every time I do one of these chores instead of quiet appreciation I generally get a stern lecture about how I effed it all up."
Me too. Once.
"If a cupboard is filled with all Tupperware, why would you think that a Corningware dish goes in there?"
'cuz ya put stuff in each of them.
That, as well as whipped males are just not attractive to females, no matter how much females say they want one.
They don't.
Oh, no, now that I understand, except that it's my Teutonic bride that likes it cold. My ancestors lived in much warmer climates. I'm positive that's the explanation.

Prospect of another term for President Obama is troubling
Adrienne Voswinkel, Southbury
Voting for the re-election of President Obama would be in direct opposition to the following quote by a great man, Harry Truman: "I like a man who has enough worldly wisdom to take care of himself; but I like him to have time to love both his God and those around him."

Mets Should Have Known of Madoff Fraud, Trustee Claims
The owners of the New York Mets Major League Baseball club disclosed that Bernard Madoff's bankruptcy trustee is claiming in a sealed complaint that they should have known about the convicted con man's fraud, which may add to any amount they have to pay back.
Irving Picard, the trustee liquidating Madoff's defunct investment firm, sued Sterling Equities Inc., which owns the team, along with Mets LP, Fred and Jeff Wilpon and almost 100 related parties. The trustee is seeking the return of billions of dollars in real and fake profits earned by Madoff customers.
"The trustee's attempt to paint the Sterling defendants as persons who should have known that Madoff did no trading has become public," Sterling said in a court filing yesterday, complaining about leaks of complaint details to reporters. "The public news stories reflect no valid basis for the trustee's attempted character assassination of the Sterling defendants."
The Sterling parties said they need time to assess whether to continue to oppose the unsealing of Picard's complaint after the New York Times, citing two unidentified lawyers in the case, reported some of its contents. A hearing on the matter is set for Feb. 9.
Settlement Talks
"The Trustee and his counsel have no comment respecting the sealed complaint filed on Dec. 7, 2010, against Sterling Equities, its partners and other related entities and no comment respecting yesterday's response by the Sterling Equities defendants regarding the sealed complaint," Kevin McCue, a spokesman for Picard, said today in an e-mail.
The complaint was filed under seal to allow the parties to continue negotiations to settle the claim, they said at the time.
"The leaking of this confidential information, in violation of court orders, must cease," the Sterling group said in the filing. "Settlement talks must be given a chance."
According to the Sterling papers, Picard may have faulted the Sterling defendants for failing to learn their lesson from losing money to the Bayou Group LLC, in a $400 million fraud orchestrated by the hedge fund's co-founder, Samuel Israel III.
"The argument offered by the 'two lawyers' is apparently that, because the Sterling defendants are sophisticated and trusted Mr. Madoff, and because another money manager for the Sterling defendants invested in the Bayou fund, the Sterling defendants somehow should have known what the Securities and Exchange Commission did not, despite repeated, well-documented complaints made to the SEC, but not made to the Sterling defendants," they said in the court filing.
Israel pleaded guilty to the fraud at Stamford, Connecticut-based Bayou, which filed for bankruptcy protection in 2006. Israel, who faked his suicide in a failed attempt to escape prison, is serving a 22-year sentence.
The case is Picard v. Katz, 10-AP-5287, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

By 3d Expeditionary Sustainment Command Public Affairs OfficeApril 27, 2009
CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE Q-WEST, Iraq - Soldiers from Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 184th Infantry Regiment, 30th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 16th Sustainment Brigade, made noticeable improvements, like curbs and painted logos, to their company area here April 10.
"It's important to improve your foxhole," said Capt. Peter Lewis, commander, Co. B and native of Sacramento, Calif. "Charlie Company, 151st Infantry, did it for us and we're doing it for the next company coming in. This is just a small way that Bravo Company can leave its mark here in northern Iraq."
The most noticeable difference to the Dublin, Calif., based company's area is around the tactical operations center where Soldiers replaced sandbags with concrete curbing and added a pull-up bar. The Soldiers also painted the Bushmaster logo onto the large barrier wall near the entrance to the company area.
"Even the small things take a great deal of work" said 1st Sgt. Steven Trester, native of Paso Robles, Calif., and first sergeant, Co. B, 1st Bn., 184th Inf. Regt. "We take for granted the simple things; you can't go to the hardware store and get bags of concrete."
Bravo Company soldiers worked many hours doing clean up and area beautification, and packed away boxes of old parts and set up parking spots in the motor pool.
"This helps mark a transition from old business to a new type," said 1st Lt. Patrick Bagley, executive officer, Co. B. "We see it as a statement. We are taking pride in this country and we want to see it better."

Uh oh. I'm in over my head. Just recently switched over to self-hosting from wp.com and I decided to change my entire theme and blog design while i'm at it. Uploaded the new theme San Kloud, and I'm trying to change the color in the body, sidebar and header from that light grey to white. (using the blue color scheme option) I've searched EVERYWHERE and can't find the coding. Eeep! San Kloud says it has "custom colors", which i assumed meant I could tweak them. Am I wrong?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I would give my blog page (stoopmama.com), but i'm using the "under construction" plugin until i get everything sorted out, so it's offline for now.

Posted by Tracy
I am writing to recommend Bill Alberts as a family law attorney. I initially worked with Mr. Alberts in 2004 during my divorce. Mr. Alberts mediated my divorce versus going to court. Not only did I get the maximum amount of child support but he negotiated additional money for the children's expenses.
In 2008, I was taken to court because my former husband wanted full custodianship of my children's college accounts. There was a risk the money would be used for his personal gain. Mr. Alberts won the case and all funds were awarded to me to manage.
Recently, I had to go to court due to my former husband not paying child support and was trying to have it legally reduced. Mr. Alberts came prepared with specific cases to show my former husband was intentionally underemployed. The judge ruled that he would not amend my decree; written by Mr. Alberts in 2004.
Mr. Alberts is not only an exceptional trial lawyer but provides a calm manner when working with his clients that is reassuring when dealing with the traumatic experience of divorce or family issues that come as a result of it. He is also very ethical in his billing.
Posted by Julie
I highly recommend Bill to anyone in need of legal assistance. My case was so incredibly difficult, overwhelmingly stressful, and full of extremely unusual details...it was a great comfort to have Bill on my side. With his broad depth of knowledge and experience Bill was able to bring my case to a sucessful resolve. Over the many years Bill has continued to work in my defense whenever some new developement crops up.
Posted by Linda
Mr. Alberts handled a complex issue of child custody/adoption between our family and the foster family of our children's sibling. He was excellent at balancing the legal and emotional issues that were involved in this case.
Posted by david solomon
Bill is thourough honest innovative; he did a wonderful job assisting in a full blown divorce trial. I have also used Bill in oyther matters and found his services excellent.

A lot of the content on the Ergoflex™ blog focuses on the dangers of lack of sleep, and the various ways that sleeping too little can negatively affect your health and well-being. And rightly so, there is a whole host of evidence proving this fact, but what about the other end of the scale? Can sleeping too much be bad for you, or even as bad as sleep deprivation?

First Bodycount trailer makes Michael Bay proud
Some people build sandcastles. Others knock them down. Bodycount is definitely a game for the latter type of person. In Bodycount, your gun is the bull, and everyone and everything around you is the china shop. If you can see it, it can be broken or blown to smithereens by anything from a bullet to a cool summer breeze.
Who said Black 2 was canceled? As far as we're concerned, it's still alive, kicking, and exploding violently. Check out the first Bodycount trailer after the break, courtesy of GameTrailers.

I have a htdocs directory where I am serving a few Microsoft Word documents. When someone is editing a document, the name of the document changes to look like something like this: "~$my_document.doc" and also .tmp files are created that represent edits of the document until the document is closed.

Hungarian Attacks on Bank 'Prone to Fail,' Simor Says
Hungary's new government, which has called on the central bank's leadership to quit, should give up its "attacks" which are "dangerous" and "prone to fail," Magyar Nemzeti Bank President Andras Simor said.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban's efforts to reduce salaries at the central bank violate the institution's independence, Simor told reporters today after the central bank left the benchmark two-week deposit rate unchanged at 5.25 percent.
Orban, who swept to power in April elections, has called on Simor, his two deputies and the four outside members of the rate-setting Monetary Council to resign for policy mistakes, and in Simor's case, for having held investments in Cyprus. Simor has rejected demands to quit before his term expires in 2013.
"Political propositions attacking" the central bank's independence "are dangerous and prone to fail," Simor said. "Every political attack has a price and the citizens are the ones who have to pick up the tab."
The intensifying battle over the central bank comes after Orban abandoned attempts to convince international creditors to allow his Cabinet to raise the budget-deficit target for this year, following a selloff in the forint, stocks and bonds.
'Significant Worsening'
Comparisons of the country's finances with Greece's by Hungarian ruling-party officials earlier this month caused a "significant worsening" in Hungary's risk profile, the rate-setting council said today in a statement. The council urged the government to detail fiscal proposals "as soon as possible" on how it will meet this year's creditor-approved budget deficit target of 3.8 percent of gross domestic product.
"Ongoing tensions mean that investors will remain nervy and Hungarian markets will stay susceptible to further selloffs," London-based Neil Shearing and David Oxley of Capital Economics Ltd. said in an e-mailed research note.
Hungary was the first European Union member to obtain an International Monetary Fund-led bailout to avert a default during the credit crisis. The central bank has cut the benchmark interest rate to 5.25 percent, the lowest since the fall of communism in 1990, from a record 11.5 percent in October 2008.
Orban, who hasn't said who he would like to see succeed Simor, has criticized the central bank for being slow to reduce the benchmark rate. He also blamed policy makers for failing to stop the spread of foreign-currency-based loans, one of the reasons cited by investors when they sold Hungarian assets in 2008, pushing the country to the brink of default and forcing the government to take the emergency loan.
The central bank ended 10 months of rate cuts last month in part because of investor concern that Orban planned to loosen fiscal policy after gaining power following eight years in the opposition. Orban reversed course and announced a special tax on banks, a government spending freeze and cuts in aggregate state salaries to meet the budget target after investors sold local assets.

Correcting the Atlas misalignment is the best kept secret in all health care. I know that's a bold statement but in my 25 years of experience I've found that removing the mechanical stress from the brain stem and upper spinal cord at the point where the head and neck join restores neurological function and allows the body's innate healing capabilities to function without interference.
There is nothing more powerful than your body's ability to heal itself. I've helped thousands of patients alleviate their pain and restore their health by correcting the Atlas misalignment.
Don't get me wrong I'm a huge proponent of a healthy life style. Clean air, clean water, good nutrition, exercise, supplements and loving relationships are all important in optimal health.
The overlooked factor in health care is the nervous system, specifically a nervous system free of mechanical interference.
Unfortunately, correcting the atlas is easier said than done. It's easy to give lip service to this truth but another to actually correct it. I've devoted my career to learning the best methods for correcting the atlas misalignment.
I encourage you to watch the power point presentation that describes in simple language how correcting the Atlas restores your nervous system to perfect function and how that leads to optimal health and wellness.

"RENT A 4X4If you are planning..." By Car Tip by SirRichard
By Car, Marrakesh: 10 reviews and 12 photos

RENT A 4X4

If you are planning to visit Ouarzazate and Zagora, rent a 4x4 car. Though the road from Marrakesh to Ouarzazate - Zagora - M'hamid is fully paved, you'll need this kind of car for getting a bit deeper and enjoy the landscapes more.

The cheapest option is take a bus to Ouarzazate or Zagora and there rent the car. You won't really need it till Ouarzazate, and besides, the agencies are more expensive in Marrakesh.

A dvd of this movie cost a bomb back in the day. It has been shown countless times on free to air TV. I saw this movie in a theatre way back in 1994. Nostalgia made me buy Blu-rays of this movie along with Blu-ray Black Hawk Down, both at the same price. Naturally, I saw Black Hawk Down first, reserving Speed for later.
I totally underestimated SPEED. With the Blu-ray, (I hook up my TV to Bose 901 speakers) I was transported back to the cinema hall. The sound from the Blu-ray was awesome. Every explosion, collision, aeroplane, helicopter had a deep and tight bass sensurround sound. The bass on my speakers were truly put to the test. The deep rumblings of the bus and the sound of the crashing of the bus were true to life. Sounds were moving to and fro Left and Right speakers positioning the bus, helicopters and gunshots correctly. This made the Blu-ray worth every cent. The dialogue was crisp. I switched off the sub-titles and just enjoyed the whole Blu-ray performance, even though I had seen this movie on Full Screen TV free so many times before. With Blu-ray, this appeared to be a different movie altogether.
I cannot complain about the picture quality, although others might expect a better transfer. I can see every wrinkle on Dennis Hopper's face and the individual hairs on every actor's head in close-ups. For a 1994 movie, that is good enough for me. Colour saturation was good. The picture quality surpasses that of many Blu-rays which cost a lot more, and which are of more recent vintage.Read more ›
Starring Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper and Jeff Daniels, Speed is one of those rare films that comes along every now and then that proves to be better than standard fare. Essentially one big extended action scene, the film's frenetic pace makes up for the frequent plot holes. The action never lets up, creating suspense- filled set-pieces and audience excitement. The premise of a bomb on a bus that wil explode if the speed goes below 50 makes for one far-fetched but fun thrill ride.
Keanu is the quintessential gum-chewing cool guy action hero Jack Traven who, along with Annie Porter (Bullock) tries not to get blown up by a bomb that retired cop Howard Payne (Hopper) has set on the bus to get money. The entire principal cast are great, especially Hopper, whose character is reminiscent of his crazy bad guy in Red Rock West (1992). With lines like "Poor people are crazy Jack, I'm eccentric", Hopper manages to give a good performance during his rather short screen time. Plus the added quality of the always-good Daniels is first-rate. And Keanu, now best known for The Matrix, is equally cool here.
Jan DeBont's direction makes the film a taut, entertaining action ride, and surprisingly, Bullock manages to change from nervy bus passenger to a strong character by the film's conclusion. And the pulse-driven score creates even more tension and excitement.Read more ›
Which, of course, it is. It is unusual, very well acted, and the action sequences simply steal the movie. There is very little down time in the movie, and like the early Jaws, one finds oneself reeling from the action as it goes literally from one situation to another. The way the action scenes are choreographed and plotted makes one want to run for cover as the bus screams through a bevy of hairy circumstances one would think are going to doom it and the passengers to a fiery death. Suffice it to say that this is well worth your time and money, and that this new DVD version has a lot of added features regarding the film that make it even more fun to enjoy. Sit down and get your popcorn ready folks! The film is about to roll. enjoy!

GHENT, Belgium -- Former Telekom general
manager Walter Godefroot has denied allegations that he knew
about the use of performance-enhancing drugs among the team's
riders a decade ago.
Godefroot's denial on Tuesday came two weeks after former
Telekom team leader Bjarne Riis became the first rider to admit
to having used performance-enhancing drugs while winning the
Tour de France.
The Dane, who won the race in 1996, alleged that Godefroot
turned a blind eye to drug use within the team.
"I did not organize any doping in our cycling team, nor
finance it," Godefroot told a news conference.
The Belgian said he also intended to sue former team massage therapist Jef
d'Hont, who alleged in a recent book that the team, now known
as T-Mobile, had encouraged riders to use the banned blood
booster EPO.
"I won't put Jef d'Hont on trial here ... I have decided to
take legal action against him in the coming weeks," Godefroot said.
In his book, published last month, d'Hont said systematic
doping took place within the team between 1992 and 1996.
Since its publication, Germans Erik Zabel and Rolf Aldag,
who rode for Telekom when team leaders Riis and German Jan
Ullrich won the Tour de France in 1996 and 1997 respectively,
admitted to using EPO in the mid-1990s.
Three other German Telekom riders and two team doctors also
admitted to doping at the team. Ullrich, who retired from
racing in April, previously denied using illegal substances.
In the book, d'Hont said both Riis and Ullrich
used EPO. He said the Telekom medical
team encouraged Ullrich to use EPO in 1996.
"Jef d'Hont knows perfectly well that in those days, I
never would have allowed any medication to be taken without
knowing its effects and side effects," Godefroot added.

Paleogeographic comparative analysis of placer deposits at shelves of Russia shows that all placer provinces and megaprovinces of this region are characterized by complex polymineral profiles. They reflect combinations of various rocks and native sources in feeding areas and intricate transformations of placer mineral assemblages in the course of transport and multifold redeposition of material during alternating stages of continental and coastal-marine lithogenesis. It has been established that Cenozoic placers in shelf zones of Russia are asynchronous formations. The number and timing of major epochs of both proved and inferred placer formation markedly vary depending on the tectonic setting of shelf zones and evolution of the adjacent oceanic basins.

Product Description
Occasionally a writer comes along who truly makes a difference, inaugurates changes, and sets new literary standards. Huang Fan is one of these, and he's done it more than once. This book is a must read.(Howard Goldblatt, University of Notre Dame, coeditor of Loud Sparrows: Contemporary Chinese Short-Shorts and The Columbia Anthology of Modern Chinese Literature)
No writer better epitomizes the uncertainty and tumult of the 1980s in Taiwan than Huang Fan, an author whose work runs the gamut from poignant and subtle political critique to postmodern metafictional experimentation and finally futuristic, visionary science fiction. Few translators are up to the task as well as John Balcom, a seasoned and sensitive wordsmith who combines an understanding of the shades of meaning in the Chinese language with decades of experience in Taiwan and an artist's facility in English.(Christopher Lupke, Washington State University)
This is Huang Fan's fiction at its finest. These subtly crafted stories leave a lasting impression that deepens with time. Zero immerses the reader in a society that simultaneously entices and entraps, inciting real confusion as to its actual workings. Written in the early 1980s when Taiwan was an autocratic regime embedded in neoliberal globalization, the story transcends identifiable times and locales to masterfully query global power structures.(Robin Visser, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, author of Cities Surround the Countryside: Urban Aesthetics in Postsocialist China)
Zero begins as a rather conventional and simple story of a dystopia, but Huang's presentation does eventually add up nicely. By American standards, the novella is underdeveloped -- loads of padding could easily have been added, and certainly would have made for a richer picture -- but it's strong enough to impress even in this almost spare form.(M.A. Orthofer The Complete Review)
Those stories, though, are good enough that we must hope that Balcom and others will make more of Huang Fan's abundant output available in English.(David Cozy Japan Times)
offers perspective on universal themes including technology, political authority, and the vulnerability of the individual in modern society. Perhaps more importantly, this compilation is an indication of the growing respect given to Taiwanese literature by Anglophone academia.(Joseph Eaton Taiwan Review)
The slimness of this new volume―comprising three short stories and one novella―belies an author of notable versatility and vision who is preoccupied by urgent questions of individualistic selfhood and its pitfalls, social interaction, cognitive dissonance and narrative strategy.(The European Legacy)
About the Author
Huang Fan (b. 1950) is a prominent Taiwanese writer who gained recognition in the 1980s with his short story "Lai Suo." From 1993 to 2002, he retreated to a monastery to study Buddhist scripture, refusing all contact with the outside world. He subsequently recaptured the world's attention with the publication of "Impatient Country," "College Thief," and "Surmising a Cat," and has since won every major literary award offered in Taiwan.
John Balcom is an award-winning translator of Chinese literature, philosophy, and children's books. He teaches translation at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, where he ran the Chinese program for many years. Publications include Taiwan's Indigenous Writers: An Anthology of Stories, Essays, and Poems, and There's Nothing I Can Do When I Think of You Late at Night by Cao Naiqian, both of which won a Northern California Book Award.
