Central location next to HS station. The city centre is within walking (10mins) distance. Living room with bedroom, open kitchen and bathroom with fluffy towels. Perfect for a night or longer stay in The Hague, your own skyscraper apartment!
The tower also includes a business lounge with free access, a basic fitness facility (free entrance) and a luxury restaurant, The Penthouse. The building is an enlarged copy of New York city's flat iron building.
This apartment is fully furnished and is on Wimdu as part of of a test to see how the apartments on these floors could be furnished and how guests from different countries like them. The only requirement in return of the low price asked is that you write a short but honest review after your stay.
I am an advertising and event consultant. I live in the centre of The Hague, The Netherlands and really enjoy traveling. I run the restaurant on the top floors of the tower. This apartment was meant for my staff, but is not being used at the moment.
I have enjoyed Wimdu like hospitality in many countries, so now it's time to return the favor. Welcome!
- You can check availabilty on the calendar on this page, we always update after any reservation - so availabilty is live. If the dates you require are available, feel free to make a direct reservation or reservation request. I will always confirm within 24 hours, and normally within just a few hours -:). All requests will always be answered.
- Prices are calculated automatically on Wimdu. If you stay longer, prices per night are discounted automatically. So why not stay for a week?
- Check-in is from 14:00hrs, check-out before 12:00hrs. Our reception opens Monday-Friday from 09:00 till late (at least 23:00 hrs). Weekends we are there from 10:00-even later. You can always leave your luggage at no charge at reception and check if you get your keys earlier or stay late upon departure.
- Breakfast is not provided, but there are enough supermarkets in the area. And of course you can have lunch or dinner at my restaurant, if you like!
- During your stay you can use the outside parking of The Penthouse restaurant at a rate of €15,- extra per day. That is about half the price of the public parking Q-Park Laakhaven. At Q-Park your car is parked inside, so there is a difference.
- The apartment will be clean upon your arrival. I ask you to leave it as clean as possible on departure. You don't have to wash towels or linen at departure. If you would like extra cleaning during your stay, that is possible at an additional charge of €20,-
- Sheets, bedlinen and towels are included. We will supply you with a clean set upon arrival and will take care of washing after your departure.

To facilitate our low pricing, please try and leave the apartment as clean as possible. Respect the neighbours living in the building.

Fantástico alojamiento. Todo exactamente como se describe en el perfil. La vista de la ciudad, en la mañana cuando te despiertas y el sol brilla, es simplemente impagable. Y en la noche se puede ver como el sol se pone sobre el Mar del Norte. Con todo, el alojamiento perfecto para unas vacaciones en los Países Bajos =)
Traumhafte Unterkunft. Alles genau wie im Profil beschrieben. Der Blick über die Stadt, morgens wenn man aufwacht und die Sonne scheint, der ist einfach unbezahlbar. Und abends kann man beobachten wie die Sonne über der Nordsee untergeht. Alles in allem die perfekte Unterkunft für einen Urlaub in den Niederlande =)
Esta propiedad es un golpe absoluto de las suertes! - No hay nada aquí que no pudo encontrar bien - decoración elegante y una cálida bienvenida, Aparcamiento vigilado al lado del edificio, .... etc - pero uno tiene que ser mencionado: la visión - La Haya estaba a nuestros pies, y el mar también fue visto (¡). De nuevo en cualquier momento.
Diese Unterkunft ist ein absoluter Glücksgriff!! - Es gibt nichts was man hier nicht gut finden könnte - stilvolle Einrichtung, netter Empfang, überwachter Parkplatz direkt am Gebäude, .... usw. - Aber eines muss noch erwähnt werden: die Aussicht (!) - Den Haag lag uns zu Füßen und das Meer war ebenfalls zu sehen. Jederzeit gerne wieder.
Super plana y vista espectacular! Muy amable, servicial, póngase en contacto con el propietario. Todos 100% pura como se describe. Fue ideal para nosotros como una alternativa a un hotel o casa / apartamento. A pesar del riesgo está presente manifestamos nuestra recomendación para nuestras futuras opciones de reserva con ella: 5 + estrellas Gerd
Super Wohnung und grandiose Aussicht!
Sehr freundlicher, hilfsbereiter Kontakt mit dem Vermieter. Alles 100%-ig wie beschrieben. Es war einfach ideal für uns als Alternative zum üblichen Hotel oder Häuschen/Wohnung. Trotz des Risikos die unsere Empfehlung hiermit für unsere künftigen Buchungsmöglichkeiten mit sich bringen wird: 5+ Sterne
The view, the view, the view !!! The apartment is nice and comfortable.
It's a pitty that there was the construction of a new building right next door!
The Apartment was just GREAT!!! The view you have out of 2 huge Windows is so amazing, we could not believe it was real! The room is spacious and for 2 People far big enough! The Location is great as well... only few minutes to the trainstation and some more to the inner City... we could do everything by foot! Thank you! If Id come back to Den Hague I'd definetely stay here again!
I can recommend this apartment to everyone. The view is breathtaking. Do not miss out on the visit in the SkyBar! You will definitely not be disappointed.
This apartment is well located and does have wonderful views of The Hague. It is very modern in design and furnishing and even has a washer and dryer. I would like to see some tea coffee and milk available on arrival, particularly for a very short stay. The directions from the railway were confusing because there are two stations and I suggest they be re-written.Very good value for money
This property starts with a comprehensive and exciting brochure you receive before you arrive. This gives all the information and sets the scene beautiful. On arrival everything was as in the brochure except more spectacular in reality. Easy and flexible check in and out which matters to me working and arriving at unusual hours. Once inside the apartment was spacious with amazing views to 2 different aspects. lol amenities provided from iron to toaster and extremely clean which is how I like to arrive and leave a property. I would definitely recommend and I am looking forward to staying there again.
i have to say wow what a fantastic apartment. We think its one of the best stays in den Haag. We had a really clean apartment. A nice kitchen and a perfect clean bath. One prob was the missing area for smokers. We will come back.
We enjoyed out stay at the apartment, the view from the apartment was amazing. We would love to stay again anytime. I would like to see a couple things added to the apartment if possible a toaster and a large mirror.

West Las Vegas didn't have to look far to find its next head football coach.
Robert Alarcon, a veteran Dons football assistant and the coach of the WLV middle school team, was named to the job this week and will succeed his former boss, Mike Ulibarri.
West Las Vegas Schools Superintendent Ruben Cordova confirmed the hire on Monday afternoon.
"I had four names recommended to me," Cordova said. "I interviewed all four, and based on their responses, I made the decision to go with Robert."
Climbing out from an 8-4 hole is easy when the bats are swinging the way the Cowgirls' were on Sunday afternoon.
New Mexico Highlands' softball team rallied to win 15-9 over Fort Lewis and wound up with a four-game series split over the weekend at Cowgirl Field.
Shellie Broyles' Cowgirls are 24-26 overall and 16-20 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. They close the regular season at Adams State this weekend in Alamosa.
Albuquerque (4-8) gave away another lead in the late innings Monday, falling 12-10 to Omaha in the matinee finale of a four-game set, the first at Isotopes Park this spring.
The Isotopes took charge with four runs apiece in the third and fourth, going up 8-7. But the Storm Chasers burned the 'Topes with five runs in the eighth — including Max Ramirez's three-run bomb — and held their hosts to just two scores after that.
One of the fastest growing sensations in the sports world is coming to the Las Vegas area this weekend.
Rociada will be host to the Pendaries Spring Classic, a disc golf tournament featuring some of the sport's elite performers, Friday through Sunday.
Following a doubles tourney on Friday, the Classic begins in earnest at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Pendaries Golf Course.
Among those entered in the tourney are Nathan Doss and Valerie Jenkins, ranked No. 1 in men's and women's professional disc golf.

Luna Community College
The Luna Community College baseball team is close to accomplishing what many thought was unthinkable a month ago — finish the season with a .500 record and make the playoffs.
The Rough Riders overwhelmed Lubbock Christian junior varsity over the weekend 13-3, 10-0, 31-11 and 13-0 to bring their record to 19-23 on the year. They now have won seven straight and are seeking to sweep El Paso Community College this Friday and Saturday on the road.
Chris Prokupek scattered four hits and two walks over six strong innings Sunday, leading the Highlands Cowboys to a 6-3 win over Colorado School of Mines in the finale of their four-game Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference baseball series.
Prokupek carried a shutout into the seventh inning but the Orediggers managed to load the bases with the help of a walk, an error and a hit batter.
Reliever Oscar Almeida, who'd go on to collect his 10th save, got the next two outs to rescue the 'Pokes, who led 2-0 at that point.

He quested across mountains and rivers, through forests and deserts. He battled ogres and trolls. He slew a dragon and forged a shield from its impenetrable scales. He dined with undines and endured the hospitality of kobolds.
When he found the castle, it was sealed in a wall of thorny creepers. His muscles grew weary and his sword gummed with sap as he forced his way through. At last, he entered his beloved's tower room, and with his last strength bestowed a kiss upon her lips.
Her eyes flew open. "God!" she cried. "Can't you take 'no' for an answer?"

Bank of America Forecasts S&P 500 at 1,350 in 2012 on Earnings
Bank of America Corp.'s Savita Subramanian estimates the Standard & Poor's 500 Index will rise to 1,350 in 2012, as the U.S. economy avoids a recession and earnings growth continues to push the gauge higher.
Combined profit by companies in the benchmark equity measure will be $98.25 a share this year and $104.50 next year, according to Subramanian, the head of equity and quantitative strategy, in her first equity forecasts since taking over the role from David Bianco in September. The year-end projection is 6.8 percent higher than the S&P 500's close on Nov. 11.
"While we expect uncertainty and volatility to remain high well into 2012, the avoidance of a U.S. recession and continued earnings growth could drive the S&P 500 toward the high end of its two-year trading range" of 1,100 to 1,365, a team led by Subramanian wrote in a note dated today.
The S&P 500 is up 0.5 percent for the year as improving economic data and 11 straight quarters of corporate earnings topping analysts' estimates have offset concern European officials will fail to contain the region's sovereign debt crisis. The U.S. benchmark equity index has rebounded 15 percent since Oct. 3 after it fell within 1 percent of a bear market from its April high. Analysts that cover stocks in the S&P 500 predict profits will be $99.13 a share this year and $109.30 in 2012.
New York-based Subramanian recommends investors hold a greater proportion of consumer staples and technology stocks than are in the index and a smaller stake in materials and financial companies.

The Real Deal with Howie
Deal or No Deal Host Howie Mandel Reveals Backstage Secrets at TV's Hottest New Game Show
He's been an actor, comic and talk show host. So why is Mandel, at 50, taking on his first game show gig? As emcee of NBC's hit Deal or No Deal— in which players must decide whether to swap a briefcase full of cash for one with as much as $1 million or as little as 1 cent—Mandel says, "I can be funny. I get to work in front of an audience, and I can improvise."
"Ultimately their choices could change their lives," he says of Deal's contestants." It's heart-wrenching because they need the money. I want them to win. But I don't know what case holds what. All I can do is point out their odds."
"You wouldn't believe the tension," says Mandel. "I've taped 15 shows, and I'd say 90 percent of the men have been brought to tears. I've seen people get weak in the knees, they can't catch their breath and we have to stop taping."
"One woman was offered $140,000," says Mandel, "but her husband said, 'No deal.' She went home with $25,000. Her body language after the show definitely wasn't warm and fuzzy."
The players don't know Mandel has obsessive-compulsive disorder. "I don't want them to be uncomfortable," he says. "They hug me and hold me. I just don't shake hands." He adds: "I wash mine 20 times a day. My wife, Terry, and I have [often told] our three kids, 'Don't do anything Daddy does.'" Still, at the end of a stressful day, "when the warm water is flowing over my hands, I'm in heaven."

Miami, FL (AP) - Maryland plays a brand of defense Miami hasn't seen
this season, with numerous blitz packages that force even
experienced quarterbacks into making mistakes.
And the Hurricanes will be sending a first-time starter into the

Maryland (6-2, 3-1) comes in just a half-game back of Florida

You'll need to install a plugin of one kind or another. I use google analytics for wordpress, and it works pretty well.
If you mean you need to track your views,i would recommend you use google analytics.You can sign up for an account at here .
Once you finish with registering the account,you should be prompted to validate your site and you'll be given a code.You can do this manually or with a plugin.I recommend you install the google anlytics plugin. Go get it from this link: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/googleanalytics/
This plugin install all the required code by itself.All you need is your google analytics web property ID.It is present somewhere inside the code you got during installation.It is identical to this: UA-0000000-0 . Copy just that part and go to (Admin > Settings > Google Analytics). Add the code into the box and save your settings.
It should take a little while for the code to be activated inside your google analytics account.Wait for your while and login to your analytics account again.You should see your site profile and you can view your full report.
No, I DONT, Want to track my views. thx for the answers, I should have made myself more clearer.
The Jetpack and WordPress.com Stats plugins give you the option to track or not track views of logged-in users. If you are using WordPress.com Stats, the option is in a page under the Plugins menu. In Jetpack, go to the Jetpack admin screen and follow the Configure link on the Stats module.
I think I understand what you're saying now..I think you can find something here.
I am trying to set up google analytics on my website. but i cannot find the web property id on my site. i know it was supposed to come when i set up my site, but i have no idea where to find it now. Do you have any ideas?
thank you!

Hello, I'm Captain Tom, Welcome to our Gig harbor Location at Rent-A-Boat in Gig Harbor at Anthony's Restaurant. Our guided sightseeing tour glides out into Gig Harbor revealing the sights, sounds and feel that you should find enchanting and inspiring. We will leave the harbor, negotiating the narrow passage at the mouth of Gig Harbor and head down into the narrows past Pt. Evans as the Narrows Bridges are revealed. We bob along in the current until we pause to take in the grandeur of our two bridges that stand and pay homage to "Galloping Gertie" that lays on the sea floor below us. We make the start of our return and head north, pausing for a photo of the entire span. We add power through the Narrows depending on the current then glide past storied Salmon Beach and Pt. Defiance. Frequently we see sea lions and harbor seals feeding on fish under the bridges. Bald eagles can be spotted all along the route. After floating around in the tide rip current off Pt. "D" for a bit we head over to Gig Harbor, running close to the beach and light house then into the protected bay we take in the incredible scene that unfolds. We're back in Gig Harbor! Bring your Camera! This will be the highlight of your trip!

Narrow vision of labor's needsJuly 08,2014Could the VSEAs vision of organized labor as expressed by Steve Howard be any tinier? How about concerning themselves with employee issues such as mobility, flexibility, supporting family responsibilities, telecommuting to expand the available applicant pool, education, training, pay equity. When VSEA stops spending so much time and resource in maintaining incompetent and mediocre employees, and starts returning value to the taxpayers, then the taxpayers will elect pro-union legislators. As a former state employee and VSEA member, I have walked long distances to get to my workplace and have had to cope with blazing hot and freezing cold buildings. Compared to the issues facing Vermonters today, Id be ashamed to identify those as major concerns to define my organization and membership.

Dwarf honeysuckle, European fly honeysuckle
Lonicera xylosteum L.
Honeysuckle family
Lonicera xylosteum
Synonyms: None
Lonicera xylosteum is a woody, perennial shrub that is 1-2 m (3-7 ft.) tall. The pubescent stems of this plant are hollow. The oppositely arranged, gray-green leaves are are usually obovate in shape, but can be ovate or oval; they are broadest beyond the middle. The apex of the leaf is usually obtuse, but can be acute and the base of the leaf is subcordate to narrowed. The upper leaf surface is glabrous when mature while the lower leaf surface is pubescent. The leaves measure 2.5-7.5 cm (1-3 in.) in length. The yellow-white flowers are borne in pairs on peduncles that are longer than the petioles. The corolla of the flower is pubescent and conspicuously 2-lipped. The flowers appear in late May to early June. The fruit are scarlet, spherical berries that are borne in pairs. They usually measure 6 mm (0.25 in.) in diameter and ripen in the late summer to early fall. Page References Bailey 944, Fernald 1333, Gleason & Cronquist 509, Holmgren 479, Magee & Ahles 963, Newcomb 104. See reference section below for full citations.
Lonicera x bella Zabel (Bell's honeysuckle), L. morrowii Gray (Morrow's honeysuckle), L. tartarica L. (Tartarian honeysuckle), L. maackii (Rupr.) Herder (Amur honeysuckle). One way to differentiate between the invasive bush honeysuckles and the native ones is that the invasive honeysuckles all have hollow stems, while the stems of the native ones are solid.
The fruit of Lonicera xylosteum, similar to the other shrubby honeysuckles, is dispersed by birds.
The native range of Lonicera xylosteum is in Europe, east to Turkey and the European part of Russia. In the United States it has been reported from all the northeastern states, south to Virginia, and West to Missouri and Minnesota. It has also been reported in Oregon. Lonicera xylosteum has been reported from all of the New England states.
Lonicera xylosteum has long been cultivated, and there is no known date for its first introduction into this country. It was most likely introduced for use as a horticultural plant, and spread via plantings and bird dispersal.
Abandoned Field, Early Successional Forest, Edge, Floodplain Forest, Open Disturbed Area, Pasture, Planted Forest, Roadside, Utility Right-of-Way, Vacant Lot, Yard or Garden. Lonicera xylosteum can be found along the edges of woods and in open canopy forests. Like the other shrubby honeysuckles, it is tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions, and is used in for landscaping in difficult spots. It prefers full sun, but can also tolerate low light conditions.
Lonicera xylosteum has not yet become prominent on the New England landscape. However, it has the potential to form large thickets that would suppress the growth of native shrubs and herbaceous plants. More information is necessary to assess the status of this species in this region.

Davos today is the largest and most successful of the first breed of classic ski resorts. Europe's highest town has successfully consolidated its significance in the early years of winter sports by constantly improving its ski area so that it has remained one of the world's best. It's come a long way since the world's first T Bar lift was installed here in 1934.
The 320km (200 miles) of ski trails above Davos are divided in to seven areas (Parsenn, Pischa, Jakobshorn, Rinerhorn, Madrisa and Gotschna), some of them lift-linked. The Parsenn area is the largest and most popular of the ski sectors. On the other side of town there are more ways up the Jakobshorn, the resort's "fun mountain" most popular with 'boarders. At the bottom of the mountain snowmaking covers the Bolgen nursery slopes.
Most of the ski areas are reached by funiculars or cable cars with the vast majority of the skiing being above the treeline at 1800m. Many of the trails are red and blue but experts will find several off-piste routes to entertain, including an 12km (7 1/2 mile) descent to Fideris and the chance of skiing over to Arosa in the footsteps (or should that be "ski tracks") of Sherlock Holmes' creator over a century ago. On-piste blacks are unusually on the lower sections of the mountain, through the forests, as they are steeper at the bottom than the top.

Do something creative everyday.
I graduated from Florida State University with a fine arts degree in 2006. Since then, I have worked as an art teacher, graphic designer, shop girl and a few other things. I have lived in a couple of cities and and I have traveled the united states, coast to coast, border to border. Nowadays, I live in quite south florida, spending most of my days crafting handmade notebooks and managing my online store and blog. When i'm not in the studio or behind a computer screen I can be found working in my kitchen garden, cooking up something yummy, or dipping in the ocean. I'm alway on the look out for interesting opportunities to showcase my creative talents.

Eutrophication in Australian Rivers, Reservoirs and Estuaries – A Southern Hemisphere Perspective on the Science and its Implications

Australian science has made rapid advances in the last decade in understanding eutrophication processes in inland waters and estuaries. The freshwater research on which these advances are based was triggered by well-publicised blooms of cyanobacteria during the 1980s and early 1990s, particularly a 1000 km long bloom on the Darling River. In estuaries the study which greatly enhanced our understanding but simultaneously served to stimulate further research into estuarine eutrophication, the Port Phillip Bay Study, was initially designed to address perceived problems of toxicants in the Bay but provided profound insights into drivers for, and ecosystem responses to, eutrophication. Subsequent estuarine research has largely been stimulated by management questions arising from Australia's increasing coastal development for residential purposes. The research has shown that some of the beliefs extant at the time of the blooms were incorrect. For example, it is now clear that stratification and light penetration, not nutrient availability, are the triggers for blooms in the impounded rivers of southeastern Australia, although nutrient exhaustion limits the biomass of blooms. Again, nitrogen seems to play as important a role as phosphorus does in controlling the biomass of these freshwater blooms. The research has also shown that aspects of eutrophication, such as nutrient transport, are dominated by different processes in different parts of Australia. Many of the biophysical processes involved in eutrophication have now been quantified sufficiently for models to be developed of such processes as sediment-nutrient release, stratification, turbidity and algal growth in both freshwater and estuarine systems. In some cases the models are reliable enough for the knowledge gained in particular waterbodies to be applied elsewhere. Thus, there is now a firm scientific foundation for managers to rely upon when managing algal blooms. Whilst these findings have already been presented to managers and communities throughout Australia, there is still a considerable way to go before they are absorbed into their modus operandi.

For the price this is a terrific pan- I used it for the first time this morning on my new induction stove top. Having looked at many many types of pans for induction cooking, and man those others were hundreds of $$'s. You know the ones I'm talking about- starts with Le……. they are so very heavy and I couldn't justify spending that kind of money for one pan/pot. I took a chance when these babies were 25% off,glad I did. They heat up nicely and clean up was easy and non-stick.. Give em a try, you won't be disappointed..
Love this skillet. Heats up quickly and evenly. I have many different skillets but this is my favorite. I also have an 8" lightweight cast iron skillet that I use every day for eggs. Very easy to clean.
I love cooking on cast iron and this combo of cast iron and enamel gives you a smooth surface with great heat conductivity
Was very excited to find this pan. Took it home and washed it then lightly oiled and tried to cook an egg. It took me fifteen minutes to get the egg unstuck from the pan. Worst pan I have ever used. It is going back!!!

Blue Duck: Only place going on in town
The Blue Duck is the only option for eating or drinking in Milford. Well, I guess there is the concession stand in the port building, or the possibility that you prepare your own. But outside of those two, there is nothing else in town.
The menu is pretty good and there are usually some chalkboard specials. The beer flows freely as there are several choices on tap. For those who have more refined tastes, they do make decent cocktails.
If you play darts or pool, they do have those also. But if you'd rather sit back and watch the game on TV, they do have a satellite receiver that puts the game on the big screen.
Its only about 15 minute walk from the Milford Sound Lodge. If you don't want to walk it, and did not drive yourself, pay attention to the time. The bar staff will call the lodge for you for the free shuttle, but they don't typically run after ~8pm.

Milford Sound Local Customs
Isolated and self sufficent
Milford Sound is a tiny pin point on the map at the end of a 120km road from Te Anau. It is literally unplugged from nearly everything.
Cell phone coverage is lost just a few kilometers after leaving Te Anau. Only a few pay phones exist, so other options is to ask kindly at the lodge or bar to use their phone.
Electricity from the national grid also stops not far from Te Anau. Milford Sound gets all of its electricity from a hydro-generator operating from the water in one of the nearby hanging valleys.
Also, to help protect the environment, there is no local trash disposal. What you bring in, you should bring out. Try to tread lightly to minimize the impact and be kind to dispose of your rubbish properly.Related to:

Milford Sound Warnings and Dangers
In the car park at The Chasm, is a kea, a New Zealnd mountain parrot, just sitting there. I didn't expect it to be so tame.

Sandflies are particularly annoying in Milford Sound, their stings are incredibly itchy and may endanger your stay. If you don't have any product to protect you, my advice is to buy some lavender lotion at the ticket counter.

Winter Conditions: Closures, Avalanches,...
In winter the road to Milford Sound can be closed occasionally as it is prone to heavy snowfall and avalanches.

Milford Sound What to Pack
Warm Clothes and Sandfly Repellent
You need warm clothes if you go on a cruise, especially in the morning or late afternoon. Temperatures do not get very high here anyway, and on the water it always feels a bit cooler.

How to wear your pack
Tip 1) Dont pack too muchTip 2) If you are taller than 5'5 take the "tall" pack from ultimate hikesTip 3) Clip the bottom clips tightly around your hips (not your waist) you should be taking 90% of the weight on your hips - trust me this makes it a lot easierTip 4) do the clips up tightly across your chest.more

Kayaking at Milford Sound
I have not paddled at Milford Sound myself, just want to let you know that it is possible.
The latest kayak trips of the day start at 2.30pm - because they return at 7.30pm. Any later start would make you return in the dark. This is far too dangerous for such activities.

A New Look at King Tut
A new exhibit, "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs," opens to the public Thursday at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
It's one of the most highly anticipated art shows this year, generating the kind of buzz King Tut once garnered when artifacts from his tomb first toured the United States more than a generation ago. The Tut mystique — combined with yards and yards of gold —- helped make the original Tutankhamun show back in 1979 the first blockbuster art exhibition.
This time around, some never-before-seen artifacts dating back 3,300 to 3,500 years will be on display. The driving force behind this art event is Zahi Hawass, Egypt's secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities.
The star of the original show was an elaborate, heavy gold mask that had for millennia covered the face of the young king's mummy. The gold mask didn't make the trip this time around — but the big news in the current exhibition is a digital display of what King Tut might have actually looked like, based on a CT scan overseen by Hawass last winter.
After Los Angeles, the exhibit will travel to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Chicago and Philadelphia.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Kristine13 Painting Quality Not As Expected I was not happy with the painting quality on this pumpkin. I had to take a black Sharpie and straighten up the black stripes or fill in empty gaps. Plus some areas of the white where smudged. I am keeping only because I don't want the hastle of returning it or exchanging it for one that may be the same. Hopefully it won't be too noticeable. September 5, 2014

Virtua Tennis World Tour User Reviews
Virtua Tennis- Fairly goodThe good:
Fun Training Games
Ability to Customize your Characters, both male and female.
20+ Hours of gameplay
Realistic Tennis matches
Ability to play against friends.
Sometimes slow loading
Unclear instructions on some of the games.
Handling is somewhat poor.
I picked this game up so that I could play against my friends at school when the teacher was being boring to be honest.
The game is pretty addicting when you first pick it up, being able to train and customize your own characters is always a good quality in a game. You train both a Male and Female character in the World Tour mode of play. As your skills get better, the games get harder. Some of your skills are fairly difficult to level because of the difficulty of the training games, as not all of them have clear instructions, or are just extremely difficult(Mainly the Disc Volley game and t...
Top Tennis?The good:
A clutch of licensed players
Numerous fun training games
Sluggish loading at times
Lack of gameplay in World Tour
I'm a keen sports fan, and Virtua Tennis came widely recommended, so I picked this up along with Ridge Racer and WC Snooker when I purchased my PSP. The game looks great, and plays like any other tennis game. Anyone could pick this up straight away, it's one of those games that takes no time in getting used to.
It includes several challenging and entertaining challenge options, such as Disk Shooter, which are basically fun games for you to enjoy. The main game mode though is World Tour mode, where you take a male and female characters up the rankings by winning tournaments and improving thei...

I guess if you just buy stuff in their store and apply there for their card, you won't see any difficulties. I think they see their card as a vehicle to bolster their core business. I'm not sure whether they really want all those people who just get their card to play the Fico game.
As I said, I have not hurt feelings towards any credit grantor. I have enough cards and I should focus on nurturing the cards I have and it is not worth my time to go through the security requirements for another card.
Sounds good . I'm just curious, how many credit cards do you want to have in the end?

ODT Online
ODT /directory
Michael Edward Farley, 39, was arrested on Thursday in
Vancouver, where authorities say he was working as a handyman
and using the alias Robert Clarke.
Canadian media reported that Farley had been in the country
for two years before the attack on the sex worker earlier
this month.
It is not known how he managed to get into Canada.
The New Zealand Police website said Farley, who is wanted by
Palmerston North Police for breaching home detention and
attempting to pervert the course of justice, was "believed to
be in the Hawkes Bay" area.
Inspector Laurence Rankin, in Canada, said Farley had been
"picked up" earlier this month by Canadian Border Services
Agency for violating immigration laws, the Huffington Post
He was subsequently investigated as a suspect before being
being charged with the March 4 offence against the sex
"We knew we had a particularly horrific case of kidnapping
and we wanted to take every step possible to find the
attacker," Mr Rankin said.
Officers allege the 42-year-old victim was picked up against
her will, driven to a secluded area, tied up and beaten
during the incident, the Huffington Post said.
Several witnesses called 911 as they watched the woman being
dragged behind a white van down a city street.
Police believe the woman partially freed herself and, fearing
for her life, attempted to jump from the moving vehicle.
The woman, who has since been released from hospital,
suffered serious injuries, including to her head, but was
able to give a description of her attacker.
Farley is charged with eight offences, including aggravated
sexual assault, assault causing bodily harm and kidnapping.
He is yet to face court.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
Let Farley be tried, sentenced and detained in Canada, not
returned to NZ, which has a poor record in containing
dangerous criminals.

- The ECB has boosted the percentage of any single issue of bonds it can buy to 33% from 25%, says Mario Draghi in the early moments of his post-policy meeting press conference. In another dovish note, Draghi says the latest data point to a slower rise in inflation than previously thought.
- The first comment has sent the Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) to its session-high, up 2.1%, and the euro (NYSEARCA:FXE) tumbling 82 pips to $1.1135.

- The eurozone's inflation rate held steady in August, highlighting the challenge European Central Bank policymakers face as they seek to revive consumer-price growth.
- Annual inflation came in at 0.2%, exceeding the median forecast for a reading of 0.1%, while core inflation held at 1%.
- The latest figures are a far cry from the 2% target set by the ECB and are likely to provide further impetus for the bank to continue its €1T ($1.1T) asset purchasing program.

- China was forced to intervene to support the tumbling yuan overnight, and at day's end set Wednesday's reference rate for the currency based on its closing level today. In the past, Beijing had ignored market moves and set the reference rate higher on days when markets sold it lower.
- Last night's move is thus - more or less - a 2nd devaluation of the currency (really a freeing up of the currency). The yuan is now lower by 2.8% since Monday's close.
- The bottom line is that Europe now has competition in the weak currency business - something its shaky economy probably doesn't need at the moment.
- The Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) is lower by 2.3%, bringing its losses for the week to about 4%. Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) is down 2.4%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) 2.3%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) 1.6%, Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) 2%, and the U.K. 1.2%.

- The eurozone and Greece have agreed in principle to a third bailout that will keep the beleagured country in the eurozone, for now.
- Greece has secured debt restructuring and medium-term financing in a growth package worth €35B.
- Greece has capitulated to German demands to put €50B of state assets in a trust fund so that they can be sold off and the proceeds used to repay debt.
- The government of left-wing Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will also have to convince the Greek parliament to pass six austerity measures, including spending cuts, tax hikes and pension reforms. Only then can detailed negotiations begin.
- It's going to be tough for Tsipras, especially with his own labor minister already denouncing the deal and with the resounding "no" vote in the recent referendum.
- Donald Tusk's pun that "we have an agreekment" sums up how tortuous the past few years have been.

- The euro (NYSEARCA:FXE) knee-jerked lower by 1.5% on Sunday night after Greece shut its banks and stock market, and imposed capital controls, but has now recouped nearly all of that decline.
- Other asset markets - namely stocks and interest rates - are showing no such reversal.
- Behind the move in the euro is the Swiss National Bank intervening to prevent appreciation of the franc (NYSEARCA:FXF), which is now just marginally higher on the session.
- "It is currently a very difficult situation and we are observing developments very closely," says SNB cheif Thomas Jordon, speaking at a conference. He declined to give details about the size of the bank's intervention, the first such move since the SNB in January threw in the towel on its floor on euro/franc.

- "We have always said that we are active in the foreign exchange market if necessary," SNB Chairman Thomas Jordan said at a finance event in Bern, Switzerland.
- A Greek default would likely spark massive safe-haven flows into the Swiss currency and spur the SNB into action.

- Apparently they've got whisper numbers at the ECB as Mario Draghi says Europe's economic recovery is on track with the bank's projections, but that the bank was hoping for something stronger than its forecasts.
- Webcast
- As for the recent strong read on core CPI, Draghi says the ECB is more concerned with trends and will look through near-term fluctuations. The bank did hike its 2015 inflation forecast to 0.3% from flat, but 2016 is unchanged at 1.5% and 2017 is unchanged at 1.8%.
- The GDP growth outlook for 2015 and 2016 is unchanged at 1.5% and 1.9%, respectively, while 2017 is trimmed to 2% from 2.1% (there's that economist sense of humor).
- The euro (NYSEARCA:FXE) is active, but currently lower by just 0.2% to $1.1135.
- European stocks (NYSEARCA:FEZ) have added to earlier gains, with Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) and France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) leading the way, both ahead by 1.35%.

- The euro tumbled today after Greece missed a self-imposed Sunday deadline for reaching an agreement with its lenders to unlock aid, keeping alive fears of a debt default and exit from the euro zone.
- The chances for a deal aren't looking any better after Alexis Tsipras' comments on Sunday. Yesterday, the prime minister accused bailout monitors of making "absurd" demands and seeking to impose "harsh punishment" on Athens.
- Greece is due to repay a €300M loan to the IMF on Friday and three additional payments, totaling about €1.25B, later in June.
- The euro is -0.8% to $1.0898.
