Aug. 10, 2010 -- There has been a dramatic decline in hospital-acquired and other health care-related MRSA infections, the CDC reports.
From 2005 to 2008, the rate of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infections dropped by almost 28% among hospitalized patients and 17% among people who were not hospitalized but acquired the infection following medical procedures like dialysis.
The figures are based on an analysis of data from nine metropolitan areas across the U.S.
The CDC estimates that about 1.7 million health-care-related infections occur annually in the U.S., resulting in 99,000 deaths.
Multidrug-resistant MRSA infections have been among the most deadly, killing thousands of people each year.
The latest analysis is based on data obtained from the CDC's Emerging Infections Program/Active Bacterial Core surveillance system and represents the largest attempt to track infection rates across the country.
The research appears in the Aug. 11 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"This is really good news," CDC medical officer Alexander J. Kallen, MD, who led the study, tells WebMD. "It suggests interventions aimed at reducing infections in health care settings are having an impact. But much more needs to be done."
Health-care-related exposures were responsible for 82% of all MRSA infections identified in the analysis.
Overall, the nine surveillance sites reported 21,503 invasive cases of MRSA from 2005 through 2009, with just over 17,500 classified as health care-related.
The biggest declines during the period were seen in the most deadly MRSA infections -- those that invaded the bloodstream. Bloodstream infections dropped by about 34% among hospitalized patients and 20% among other health care-related exposures during the four-year study period.

Jesus of Nazareth - by *shimoda7
A drawing I made for my mother. It's a scene (probably the most famous one) from the movie 'Jesus of Nazareth'.
She told me the other day that she would love to have one of my drawings hanging on her wall and asked me to draw this one. She hasn't seen it yet but I'm pretty sure she'll like it. Mothers always do right?
Hope you like it too.

Make no mistake; this title is definitely about the relationship between Batman AND Robin. Itâs not âBatman with Robin,â âBatman and Boy Wonder,â or simply âBatman.â Itâs a combination of the two -- Bruce Wayne and his son, Damian Wayne -- with both contributing to making this story move forward and complicate the relationship as much as possible.
Of course, itâs the work of Peter J. Tomasi that makes the relationship between the titular characters so absolute. For a sample of Tomasiâs treatment of their interaction, check out the preview right here on CBR. In that excerpt, Tomasi defines the levels of trust -- and lack thereof -- between Bruce and Damian. He also delivers the sternness of a father filtered through the stubbornness of Batman. Tomasiâs ability to deliver this voice through Batman/Bruce without having Batman slip into (for lack of a better term) Bat-dickery speaks volumes of the dynamic between the characters. This is a father-son duo with some fairly major issues to tackle. Batmanâs all-business attitude doesnât blend well with an independently minded son, and the two are as at odds with one another as Damian ever was with Dick Grayson.
Further proving Tomasiâs mettle is the undisputable fact that heâs given Damian an interesting enough perspective to make the character one that I enjoy reading. Damian, like the Red Hulk, is a character that I wanted nothing to do with. Tomasiâs work, in perfect synchronization with Jeff Parkerâs take on Red Hulk, has given me a different opinion of the character. Sure, I wouldnât be devastated if Damian was written off as a fever dream throughout DC books next month. Heck, Iâd probably be the first in line to text in favor of offing the brat if DC decided to go through a publicity stunt akin to the Jason Todd call-in of the 1980s. For Tomasi to make me care enough to get over that disdain for this character is applaudable.
Patrick Gleason draws up spot-on videos to match Tomasiâs tale. The entire time Bruce is out of costume -- just as when Batman is in costume -- Gleason obscures Bruceâs eyes. Even though we never truly see the emotion in Bruceâs eyes, there is no mistaking the communication he projects through his body language. He hulks over Damian during the crux of their argument, with a protruding bottom jaw and bulging neck muscles for emphasis. As amazing as Gleason is with the detail of a prototypical father-son conversation, his battle scenes with the enigmatic Nobody are nothing short of spectacular.
Iâve gone from being a casual Batman reader in the pre-relaunch DC Universe to being a Batfan in this brave new universe DC has been delivering to us each and every month. Snyderâs âBatmanâ delivers a great story of Batmanâs continuing investigation and defense of Gotham City, but the relationships being forged, investigated, and tested in âBatman and Robinâ are every bit as compelling and equally fun to read. Of course, like Snyder on âBatman,â Tomasi is leaving the title each month with a compelling ending. The difference is, here, you just never know what Damian will do and it brings me back each month to see how Bruce reacts.

Sundayĺs 56th annual Grammy Awards continued to prove its banality with a spectacle that has become so over the top, itĺs almost as campy as a Tim Burton film.
Where once it would be cool to see Daft Punk sitting in the crowd in their robot suits, itĺs now almost secondary to Taylor Swiftĺs chain-mail dress and Madonnaĺs pathetic attempt to remain cutting edge by sporting a grill in her mouth, which, letĺs face it, hasnĺt been cool since Big Daddy Kane rocked one in the mid-ĺ80s.
Recent years have seen the organizing committee decide to focus more on the performances and give out just a handful of awards. Essentially, itĺs diluted the entire telecast, shoving entirely too many artists into a three-and-a-half-hour slot. There has to be some sort of balance that can be found because this isnĺt working.
Another fail is trying to put artists together that have no business sharing the same stage. Rapper Kendrick Lamar and alt-rockers Imagine Dragons? No. Country star Miranda Lambert and Billy Joe Armstrong? Underwhelming. And when something does work, like putting Nine Inch Nails together with Fleetwood Macĺs Lindsey Buckingham on guitar and Foo Fighter Dave Grohl on drums and then bringing out Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, the telecast cuts to the credits.
Regardless, itĺs a spectacle that keeps people talking and the ratings, at 28.5 million, had CBS declaring it ôthe second largest audience for the awards broadcast since 1993.ö So what if itĺs barely relevant when it comes to the music it operates under, itĺs a money maker.
During the nearly four-hour show Ś and an additional two if you count the red carpet that I fast-forwarded through on DVR the next day Ś there were plenty of observations made. Here are 10 of them:
1. How did Ryan Seacrest manage to keep a straight face in asking zero-talented Paris Hilton about her music ôcareerö and upcoming record?
2. Ringo Starrĺs performance of his solo hit, ôPhotograph,ö featured Peter Frampton, Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench, Toto guitarist Steve Lukather, famed producer Don Was on bass and drummer Kenny Aronoff. It was a great selling point to check out his All-Starr band when they come to town during the summer. Also, it was so much better than his former Beatles bandmate Paul McCartneyĺs showcase, where Ringo was the token drummer to create what people were mistakenly calling a Fab Four reunion. They didnĺt even play a Beatles song, instead doing a track from Maccaĺs new record. Rest easy though, ôThe Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to The Beatlesö will air a week from Sunday, and since itĺs already been taped, word has leaked out that the two paired up on a few numbers from their mop-top glory days.
3. Pharrellĺs humongous park ranger hat was interesting, but did it deserve to be the talk of the show around the water cooler the next day? CNN even did a story on it, which seems a bit ridiculous.
4. Is there a more annoying person on the planet than Taylor Swift? Probably, but they werenĺt in attendance at the Grammys, because the belle of the annoyance ball was Swift, who sat Ś no, danced Ś in her front-row seat to every single performer, even when everyone else was sitting down. At 5 feet 10 inches tall without heels, you can bet that the people sitting in the 20 rows behind Swift wanted to deck her.
5. Speaking of dancing, what sort of moves was Steven Tyler doing while Daft Punk performed ôGet Lucky?ö It looked like a dance your aunt would do at your cousinĺs wedding.
6. Tyler wasnĺt the only one. Yoko Ono was inexplicably shooting peace signs Ś with both hands Ś for the duration of ôGet Lucky.ö What part of the lyrics, ôWeĺre up all night ĺtil the sun/Weĺre up all night to get some,ö inspires one to toss up the peace sign?
7. Pinkĺs Cirque du Solei-like performance was breathtaking Ś four years ago when the Doylestown native did pretty much the exact same thing on the same exact stage at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards. Wanted: New trick.
8. Metallica doing ôOneö with Chinese classical pianist Lang Lang was cool, but that song is so overplayed. Thankfully, it was the edited version. And, like Pink, the metal titans were repeating themselves: They did the same song more than two decades ago at their first Grammy performance in 1989.
9. When Black Sabbath took the mic to introduce Ringoĺs performance, I immediately turned to my roommate and said, ôThis is going to be a disaster.ö It wasnĺt exactly rocket science, but I was spot-on. Almost immediately, Ozzy Osbourne bungled his reading of the teleprompter and quickly lost his place, sending bandmate Geezer Butler into a fit of hysterics and leaving Tony Iommi to attempt to pick up the pieces.
10. The spectacle of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis doing ôSame Loveö with Queen Latifah ôcommissionedö by the state of California to marry 33 couples, many of them the same sex, was pretty much ruined by Madonna emerging toward the end looking like a dime-store Tom Wolfe in a white suit, hat and cane to sing the chorus of her nearly 30-year-old hit, ôOpen Your Heart.ö
Finally, itĺs time for some back patting. Rock Music Menu picked four out of eight correctly in last weekĺs ôWill Winö predictions and the same in the ôShould Winö predictions. As for the missed ones, the one that stands out most is Led Zeppelinĺs ôCelebration Dayö winning Best Rock Album. Up against a stellar new David Bowie release and a criminally underrated Queens of the Stone Age record, I thought the live effort from the 2007 reunion had no shot at winning.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 400 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Serbia 10 days in tropical paradays Great hotel regarding staff,service,food, tropical beautiful garden..Cannot complain about anything regarding service,cleanless,facilities.Only small down its that some rooms are outdated and have that smell of mould. December 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by thomas2010 Marvellous hotel ad staff We stayed in this hotel for 8 nights with a group of friends. We booked three Junior Suites which were nicely decorated and had nice space and views on the pools. The hotel ground if this hotel is just beautiful and well maintained. The hotel stands out with service. The personnel from the reception, concierge, bars, restaurants and the butlers are just amazing. The level of service minded exceeded our expectations. This made our stay really special. We ate several times in the restaurants (food and service good for a reasonable price). The Spa although a bit expensive is really nice as well. Will definitely return when visiting Bali. December 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jel121250 Bali in 4 days. This is a lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings. Staff couldn't do enough for us. Rooms are lovely and bathrooms well appointed. The breakfast choice is vast and well presented. Loved the way the pools are laid to look like lagoons, they are immaculate. Would recommend this hotel to everyone. December 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Steve1993 Beautiful exotic garden setting This hotel was/is amazing. We had a remarkable time here. The setting perfectly combined the natural tropical flora of Bali with the hotel lagoon, walking paths, water features, and facilities/structures themselves. The food and service were both excellent. The breakfast was a classy Sunday brunch, with omelette, pasta, and carving stations, and our favorite, Sushi, every morning. The staff, throughout the hotel, was very attentive and quick with a smile and inquiry as to how they could help. I would highly recommend the lagoon access rooms, at first we thought this might be a frivolous indulgence, but in the end we loved having the ability to roll out of bed in the morning and take a quick dip in the amazing lagoon pools/beaches, and to do the same in the evening, without having to step out of our room. The only downfall we saw was non availability of a two bedroom room, with larger then two twin beds. There were no options for two full or queens - either two twins or a king were the choices. We travel with our two children almost everywhere and have found that this seems to be the standard for much of continental Asia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. December 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Suzi1 A stay in Paradise We stayed in the Laguna Spa Hotel in Nusa Dua for 7 nights from 4 November -11 November 2014 and from the moment we were met by Winda we were made to feel like the most important people who had ever stayed - it truly was paradise - and we enjoyed every minute and every bit of the experience. ALL of the staff were exceptional. Every breakfast and meal we had was wonderful and the fabulous lagoon room we stayed in was amazing. We loved it. December 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Travelal Would definitely come back! Superb - not sure what else to say! Super resort, great staff, great food - what more could you ask for? December 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by shaunp great quick stay the hotel was great felt like home the staff are amazing and the grounds are so lush and private we only stayed 2 nights had booked 6 nights at the grand nikko and only stayed 4 then went to the laguna we now wish we had of stayed here for the 6 nights. November 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JYKoh One of the best hotels I've been to. From before arrival to after check-out, the staff of the hotel provided top-notch service and ever-present warm smiles, making us feel at home right from the beginning. Although we were travelling with an infant, they accommodated our transport request with a baby seat without asking and provided cot, steriliser, and hot water kettle during our stay. Its the attention to personal details like this that made us feel this is a top-notch hotel. With excellent pools, beaches, spa and food available, you hardly have to leave the hotel for a beach-side retreat. November 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ingridc Fantastic hotel I stayed for a night at the Laguna and it was fantastic. Prior to my arrival, the communication was excellent as well. When we arrived, the staff upgraded us to a lagoon access room which was very nice. All the staff was friendly and awesome as well. When we were leaving, the manager personally came to us to thank us for staying at the hotel and reminded us of the airport tax that we have to pay when we are leaving. I definitely enjoyed my stay. The hotel is magnificent, and the private beach was extremely nice. Water is pristine and a joy to be in. There seemed to be some crowding issues though as all the chairs were full by lunch time and there were some guests who did not manage to get one. We had our dinner at the hotel as well and the employees did not charge us for our drinks as some of the seafood was overcooked. We had 3 different employees come up to us to apologize for it and i could see the pride the staff have in the standards of the hotel. But everything comes at a price of course, prices in the Laguna are on the high side. However if money is not of any concern, this is a place I would definitely recommend. November 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SUNIL09 HOTEL FEATURE I HAVE VIISTED MANY COUNTRY.THE EXPERIANCE WITH THIS HOTEL IS GREAT. I AM NOW INTERESTED TO VIIST AGAIN AND STAY IN SAME HOTEL. November 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Richard334 Good choice It exceeds my expectation. Beautiful beach. Nice facilities. I will recommend to friends. November 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nicho14 Paradise Beautiful place, quiet and well appointed. Room was a littler dark, but good view over the lagoons November 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by aLvIRtj3 Best place to reward oneself with total relaxation Everyone deserves the chance to totally unwind and get away from normal routines of life. Well, this hotel provides everything for a perfectly relaxing moment to unwind! The beach, the pool, the direct access to the lagoon from your room. The ever smiling, caring, helpful and friendly staff. Everything makes one wish they don't have to return to reality. One pays to stay anywhere, but one will get a full reward of an enjoyable and totally relaxing stay at this heaven masked as a hotel! November 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rcosnita Relaxing and comfortable staying We stayed at this hotel for 4 night. It offers plenty of features which made our stay enjoyable: 1. Lagoon 2. Direct access to sea side 3. Nice bars Overall, I strongly recommend this hotel for its features and staff responsiveness but I do not recommend it for food. The breakfast was very good but a la carte restaurants (Banyubiru and Arwana) are simply average. October 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brentan EXCELLENT I have just returned from Laguna w/ my wife and 5yrs daughter and all we have to say is THANK YOU!. What an experience! from the friendly staff to the service all has been really out of this planet! It was our daughter's bday and they made everything they could to help w/ some last minute preparations as well as a nice cake, so no words! just keep the job! September 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NFL8 Outstanding hotel in Dusa Dua for a romantic getaway Great welcome and suite upgrade. Classy and warm hotel design. Large yet very homy. Superb staff. The only deception is the lack of complimentary water related activities. Also, the local (1h) snorkeling at the jet-set marine is really not worth the trip: is there no other place to snorkel than the port entrance? Why was there no possibility to depart directly from the hotel beach like the next-hotel provide and avoid the long drive? September 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AlexandTania A big thank you! We have been to Bali many times but have stayed at this resort for the first time. By comparison, Laguna stands above all. They exceed the 5 star rating! The level of customer service was above and beyond and the word "no" doesn't seem to exist. From the moment we arrived, during and to the minute that we left we were looked after in the most friendly and professional manner. We particularly want to point out Front Office Manager Adi Adhyana and Guest Relations Officer Theresia Windayani, who did their job with the utmost excellence! They went above and beyond their call of duties and in their manner of approach and attention, it was a pleasure to be in their company! It should be noted that the staff were very well spoken in English, which made it easier to converse and understand. We would like to further point out, that every staff member of all ranks did their job impressively and with utmost professionalism. The restaurant accommodated all our requests, particularly for items not on the menu. The chef Nurmaya Purba made delicious English porridge just to perfection and our likes. We recommend this resort to all and will return next year! September 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cal20 Best SPG Hotel Hands Down 50 plus SPG hotels under my belt, the Laguna is by far my favorite. I have vacationed here twice and LOVED it. The rooms are great. The beach is great. The service impeccable. French Toast to die for. Everything was perfect. Just could use a bit more SPG recognition but for luxury option not really needed. September 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Heisinger Everything thought of! Probably, the best hotel, I've ever stayed in. Certainly one of the top three, and I travel a lot. I stayed in the villa, an offer to upgrade was made upon my arrival at a discount to regular prices. The feeling was of a private hotel. It was so convenient, that I often did not want to leave it. The staff was amazingly efficient and unhumanly polite and delicate. I just loved the place! September 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RickyAdriansjah Need totally room update I travel alot, totally I gave 4 stars for all facility in this hotel, but the room I booked (deluxe pool access) was so old, especially the heavenly bed which was not heavenly at all, the spring bed seems too old, hard, no bounce feeling anymore. The towel is too small and not soft at all. Too hard for a five star "luxury collection hotel". But the pool, staff are excellent. Too bad if this hotel do not immediately reupgrade their total room comfort, since Bali has plenty of new 5* hotels to choose from. Once we checked in they gave us leaked old electric kettle. But after we complaint, they gave us new one. For information, there is no kids club in their facility, so bear in mind for family with kids traveller. September 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by liuf886 Exceeding my expectation I have to say the staffs there are very friendly. Many of them will greet you when they pass by. Both of the environment and service are excellent. Restaurant in the resort has variety of food to choose. Maybe more asian food (Chinese food) can be added. August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Adrian2611 Luxury in Paradise The Laguna in Nusa Dua is a prime beautiful area in Bali and very secure and safe!. The grounds is top notch and well kept. It's what make the place along with the many lagoons really beautuful and picturesque. The beach area is very well kept clean and serene. The spa and massage along the beach are a must to do. The SPA is very good, although the masseuse could do better. The rooms are big and have great views. Loved having breakfast in the balcony each morning. The restaurant breakfast was expansive as well!! August 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JRAPH89 Very nice hotel in Nusa Dua Beautiful resort in Nusa Dua with amazing swimming pools and a nice beach. Executive suites are very nice, and the bed is most comfortable; Location is perfect: quiet place close to some shops and restaurants in Bali Collection shopping center. You are 7€ away by taxi from Kuta / Jimbaran... And the airport is closeby (20 minutes / 6€ by taxi) On a less positive note: - people seemed to put towels on the seats of the swimming pool to keep them for the whole day even if they are not around... we were disappointed to have to deal with these kind of childish things in a 5 star resorts - once, the concierge has been unreliable to support us for the organization of a day trip we wanted to plan in Bali - we were disappointed by the restaurants of the resort: seafood restaurant completely ran out of white wine... service could be improved; we thus went to the Saint Regis restaurantsfor the last 2 days: slightly more expensive but with a much better quality and service in our views - finally, less important but still... TV sets would need to be renewed and an on-demand service should be added as the selection of DVDs proposed at the concierge could really be improved. All in all, we had a rather nice stay but thought we could have had a better experience from a 5 star luxury collection hotel. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by colin2012 Beauty and tranquility Fantastic location. Rooms private, peaceful and well equipped. Staff so friendly and welcoming. Grounds and gardens, lagoons and pools absolutely marvelous. Only minor concerns were the food. The quality was at times too en masse. We shall visit again. August 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by AZDavid Recent 4-night stay We enjoyed many aspects of this hotel including the fabulous location with nice relaxing beach. All staff members were quite friendly and helpful. The hotel also helped us hire a wonderful private driver for a 6-7 hour tour. Throughout our stay, we had a nice sampling of a variety of tasty food and very much appreciated their ability to deal with our various food allergies. My daughter and I both had the best massages of our life at the onsite spa. That's quite a compliment because we've both had 150+ massages. However, there were some things that kept this hotel from receiving 5's. And in fact, I'm not sure if I could come back unless some specific changes were made because certain things are just too important for us when traveling 9,000 miles (one way) for a vacation. Unfortunately, our relaxation was often interrupted by slamming doors at several of the neighboring hotel rooms. The hotel needs to place self-closing mechanisms on the room doors which would prevent people from slamming their door. They also need to figure out a way to encourage people not to be so noisy in the hallways. Perhaps some soundpoofing or polite signs encouraging quiet. We also experienced frustration while trying to arrange for pick-up at the airport. Some of the staff either weren't reading our entire emails or they lack sufficent understanding of English. I have a feeling it's the latter. This was an extremely frustrating process requiring 3-4 emails and not knowing if we were being picked-up at the airport, how to find the driver, etc. They finally sorted this out after someone more senior reviewed our plea for help. In summary, this hotel is well-located, has very friendly staff, very good food, nicely landscaped grounds, very reasonable prices for a variety of services and could easily move to a 4.5 (or higher) by addressing these two important areas. August 6, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Voyager72 A disappointing experience First of all, I thought the name of Luxury Collection will bring above my expectation. Considering I am an SPG Platinum and have tried all starwood properties in Bali, I must say that The Laguna has disappointed me somehow. Okay, perhaps due to peak season I could not get a nice upgrade as I usually always have, but the real disappointment is the room. It is old and a bit smelly. I tried to ask another room but the receptionist claimed that their occupancy rate is 98% so unless I pay more to be relocated to the Imperial Suite, she could not give me any rooms. The location is just nice though. It has nice private beach and near to Bali Collection where we can go shopping. The food is average. I think it is time for the management to renovate the rooms. August 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by rsetia24 Nice hotel Overall, this is a nice and beautiful hotel. My family and I had a wonderful experience staying in the hotel. However, let me point out several things that needs attention: 1) No exhaust fan in the bathroom. 2) The cutlery in the resto are sometimes not clean. I can understand how busy the staff is working. However, obviously a few staff do not pay attention to the detail. This hotel is a 5 star hotel and it holds a huge reputation. 3) Cleaning service and making up room is somehow late (later than 12 noon) August 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Puneet84 Excellent....Words are not enough! I used my SPG points to stay just one night in Laguna Resort, Bali. I mentioned to them that I am celebrating my 1st Marriage Anniversary. They upgraded me to Executive Suite. Also sent us gifts, cake and offered discounts in restaurants. I am frequent traveler and stayed many hotels across globe but my experience in Laguna resort was exceptional. Room: Beyond Expectation - Spacious, clean, with all facilities. Service - Excellent service - In seconds someone pick your phone at reception and that is one point of contact for all your needs. You don't have to tell them twice for any request. Hotel Staff - Extremely Polite and Helpful Beach - Very lean and quite. Ideal for romantic vacations Facilities - Very nice Spa, excellent pools and other facilities available I stayed at Jimbaran and Kuta also with other branded hotels but none was near to Laguna Resorts. Stay at Laguna Resorts definitely increase pleasure of your holidays atleast by twice as comparison to any other branded hotel. August 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Noelzy Relaxing experience We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience at The Laguna Resort & Spa. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to assist, whether offering an additional cup of coffee or ordering a taxi. The whole ambience of the resort,surrounded by large pools & waterfalls,coupled with the fragrant tropical flower & spice smells makes this an ideal resort to chill out & relax.I would like to see non smoking designated areas on the beach or ban smoking completely.Otherwise top marks for a great place to stay. I must compliment the resort on the excellent Balinese buffet dinner on Tuesday & Friday. The quality & range was exceptional. July 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Merican A bit dated Hotel service was very good by all staff. The property grounds are amazing and beautiful and restaurants were great. However, the rooms are aged a bit and could really use an upgrade. The chair I went to sit it had the left arm rest loose (Room 318). All else was very nice... July 30, 2014

Politics What Obama Should Do
posted by June 6 at 12:22 PMon
Looks like a lot of people had the same thought after watching the Democratic debate in New Hampshire: Barack Obama needs to figure out a better way to take on Hillary Clinton.
For my part, I noticed, when I was at the debate, that Obama seemed overly gentle with Clinton, passing up several opportunities to take her on while not hesitating to slap down John Edwards.
What's he scared of?
Obama scored one of the biggest sound-bite coups of the night when he turned to Edwards and told him that he was "about four and a half years late" in speaking out against the Iraq war. He could have said something similar to Clinton, and had several opportunities to do so, but didn't. I write about one of Obama's missed opportunities, briefly, in the issue of the Stranger that's coming out later today.
Today in the New York Times, Maureen Dowd devotes her whole column to this issue. It's behind the TimesSelect firewall, so you can't read the whole thing unless you pay, but here's an excerpt:
In the New Hampshire debate Sunday night, Mr. Obama again missed his chances. Hillary is the one he needs to unseat, but he treads gingerly around her. He seems afraid of a repeat of that moment last December, as the clamor for him to run was building, when he touched her elbow and winked at her on the Senate floor, and she kept walking. He called a friend afterwards, stunned at her icy behavior.
Instead, he wasted his time tangling with Dennis Kucinich in the first debate and slapping back John Edwards in the second.
When Hillary admitted that she had not read the National Intelligence Estimate before voting to authorize the president to go to war, Senator Obama had a clear shot… He missed another chance when Hillary said at the beginning of the debate that she believed we are safer than we were before 9/11, even though the Democrats won Congress with the opposite argument last fall, and even though the Iraq war has clearly made the world more dangerous than ever…
The Boy Wonder cannot take over the country unless he can take on Wonder Woman.
A TIME blogger finds Dowd's advice ironic. Sullivan thinks he should largely dismiss it, but that Obama needs to "play down the seminar and pump up the sermon." But both seem to agree that Obama's debate delivery could use some tweaking, and the general consensus in the political world seems to be that Clinton won the last debateand that this, sent out by the Obama camp the day after the debate, was too little too late.

marine biologist around the Suwannee River delta. Raise Cracker sheep on an old Cracker farm ~ 12 mi. (as the crow flies) from the Gulf.
By: marsHen , 11:02 AM GMT on June 25, 2012
06:40, 75F, mostly cloudy, some blue showing. stiff breeze from the south. got 10.3" rain yesterday.. CK is missing some docks. but I just have limbs and palmetto fans all over the yard. roosters up and crowing. a break in the rain, going out to walk dogs and give out hay.
hay in laying boxes soaked. replaced that. donkeys came in from the woods and got some fresh hay. sheep's hay in the barn. starting to drizzle some.
11:00, very high low tide at CK, choppy with whitecaps. south wind, 25-30 knts. gusty up to 37 knts. rain on and off, sometimes heavy. mid 70's. a few egrets in the marsh. breakers all to the south of the islands.
16:00, high storm tide coming in. a raft of brown pelicans near #3 bridge. overcast and drizzly.
16:30, raining at the farm with stiff south wind and gusts. electric's out. called electric co. on my cell which was almost dead. they came out and gave me electric again.. walked newdog in big rainstorm.
18:00 76F, bands of rain and wind moving over the farm. glad to have electric and water.
21:10, 76F, raining. didn't have any lulls at chore time. got soaked several times but wore my foul weather jacket in the sheep barn because of the leaks and the cobwebs.. sheep staying dry, though. they have plenty of room since I sold a bunch. got 1 egg. thanking the puppy I found in the sheep yard is a terrier mix. she's shy but smart. she's learning the yard outside the finch aviary which is attached to the workshop.
the lights flickered a few times so I filled some jugs with water. I have a gas stove so I can cook, but my water comes from a well which needs electric for the pump. in south florida I had a hand pump but this well is too deep for a hand pump.
it's so dark outside that the light gets swallowed up. easy to get lost out there..

Dockrey, Scott honored
Nicholls State women's track and field standouts Chelsea Dockrey and Aja Scott were among the automatic selections earning All-Academic honors as the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches unveiled its 2011 academic award winners last week.
The duo were automatic selections based on maintaining a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25 and qualifying for the 2011 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field National Championship East Preliminary Meet in Bloomington, Ind., in May.
Springer takes second
Nicholls State javelin thrower Jaimee Springer continued a banner offseason campaign by taking second place in the javelin to help lead Team Alberta to a championship finish at the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games.
The Western Canada Summer Games pit Canada's western-most provinces and territories against each other in Olympic style competition.
Springer launched a throw of 42.57 m (139 feet. 8 inches) to take runner-up honors and earn 18 points for Team Alberta's cause.
Team Alberta racked up 210 points to cruise to victory in the track and field events.

Cyclone activity was responsible for fully 48% of the coral mortality that was experienced on the Great Barrier Reef over the past 27 years.

Long-Term Responses of Coccolithophores to Ocean Acidification (10 Apr 2013)
Three researchers look 50 million years back in time and determine that "atmospheric pCO2 exerted an important long-term control on coccolithophores, either directly through its availability for photosynthesis or indirectly via weathering supply of resources for growth and calcification." In either event - or both - it is clear that their findings are, as they put it, "consistent with inferred coccolith mass increase with rising atmospheric pCO2 over the past two centuries"...

As reported by the nine researchers of this study, there has been "an increase in plant growth over time," where "increased shrub cover has occurred in sites across the Arctic at both the plot and landscape scale." Such phenomenon "was supported by results from experimental warming," which "increased vegetation cover and nutrient availability in most tundra soils." In addition, they say that "all sites measured were sinks for carbon during the growing season," and they state that "modeled responses of a mesic tundra system to climate change showed that the sink status will likely continue for the next 50-100 years"...

Celebrity Summit Cruise Review by Ahoy_M8EE: Fantastic Week with Celebrity
Overall Member Rating
Fantastic Week with Celebrity
Destination: Bermuda
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
This was our first time with Celebrity, and we've already booked with them again. If you book a vacation with Celebrity, Check the option for Aqua Class, you won't be disappointed.
Embarkation is private for you, smoothe and fast. You get Fruit and Flowers daily, along with hors d'heuvres (albeit cheese/salmon on small squares of toast). You get a terrific shower head, glass doors on the shower, slippers, robe, binoculars to use, and best of all, your own private restaurant, BLU. If you got Aqua Class for no other reason, it's BLU. Quality Service and attention to detail, great food, and beautiful atmosphere.
When I booked for 3 days in Bermuda on this 7 day cruise, I hoped for 2 of 3 days with good weather. You need to be lucky when you pick a date, because there is no skill in picking good weather. We were more than lucky getting 3 beautiful days to enjoy the islands.
Don't Miss Horseshoe Bay Beach, and bring plenty of sun block. A burn can sneak More up on you very quickly.
Pick a Date, book a vacation, and enjoy!! You will feel like a Celebrity! Less

Hi all,
I found this forum helpful and thought I would share my experience at Downsview. Despite the negative press associated with this Drive Centre, I decided to book here since I was familiar with the area as my parents live there. I failed on my first try but passed on my second. Note, they repainted the parking spots between my two tests and on my second try they were oriented the opposite way (east-west, instead of north-south) and were narrower and shallower.
I had two completely opposite experiences on my G1 exit test; on my first, the instructor was rude and required I do (what I thought) was in excess of what was required.
First Test (July 2011, in the earlier part of the day between 10-11)
-exit parking lot, stop at stop sign and turn left on Carl Hall Road. Follow through, stopping at stop signs and the pedestrian crossing.
-turn right on Sheppard (where there is a turning lane on the other side, making it three lanes whereas where you turn there are only two lanes).
-switch lanes.
-turn right at Tuscan Gate.
-turn right at St Regis Cres. North. Uphill Park; then perform Emergency Stop.
-turn left on Bakersfield Road and then turn left again on St Regis Cres. Perform parallel park. Perform 3 point turn.
-turn right at Bakersfield Rd., continue to Tuscan Gate and turn right on Sheppard [this is where I messed me up; a pedestrian changed directions at the last minute and decided to cross, despite the awkwardness of the scenario, the drive test guy was an ass about it]
-switch lanes, turn left at Carl Hall Road and go back to the Drive Centre, parking frontward.
Second Test (August 2011, in the later part of the day between 3-4)
-exit parking lot, stop at stop sign and turn left on Carl Hall Road. Follow through, stopping at stop signs and the pedestrian crossing.
-turn right on Sheppard.
-switch lanes.
-turn right at Tuscan Gate.
-turn right at St Regis Cres. North. Perform Emergency Stop.
-turn left on Bakersfield Road and then turn left again on St Regis Cres. Perform 3 point turn.
-turn right at Bakersfield Rd., continue to Tuscan Gate and turn right on Sheppard (no indecisive pedestrians this time!)
-switch lanes, turn left at Carl Hall Road and go back to the Drive Centre, rear parking. The spots were narrower, shallower and differently oriented but I didn't have a problem.
Overall, I had a harder time and more "hoops" to jump my first time. There were more people at the lot in the morning, than later in the day and there were no trucks in the afternoon driving around in the industrial area where they take you. The difference in instructors was also pretty crazy - one was gruff and rude whereas the second was nice and chatty to the point of distraction (which I felt was a test in and of itself, so if you get a chatter pay attention).
Good luck!

Oshawa G1 exit (non-highway) test route
Hey everyone,
Just had my G1 exit road test in Oshawa this afternoon and I passed with flying colors
Since there aren't many replies on the Oshawa test route, I thought I would share my experience:
Had the test at 2:45 pm.
My examiner was friendly but professional (Hi Kim!)
She didn't say much but she had this friendly aura that made me feel at ease and definitely affected my driving in a positive way
She tested me on left and right turns, a downhill park (on a flat surface, of course), a 3-point turn, and a parallel parking.
I had to back out from the parking spot at the test center when I started because my instructor parked the car head in.
I think this could be the reason why she didn't test me on my back in/reverse parking.
I can't remember the exact test route because we drove on small residential streets, but this is roughly how I remember it:
- Exit the test center on to John St W, turn right and drive all the way to Park Rd. South.
- Turn left to Park Rd. South (don't forget to change lane!)
- Turn right to Frontenac Ave. (this is where she asked me to perform a downhill park)
And I can't remember the exact route after that but we're just driving around the residential area, where she then asked me to do a parallel parking and a 3-point turn.
- Somehow ended up driving on Grenfell St.
- Make a right turn to King St. West (it's one-way road, stay on the far right lane after you make the turn)
- Turn right to Park Rd. South.
- Turn left to John St. West, reduce speed from 50km/h to 40km/h
And voila! You're back at the test center
Things to remember during the test:
- Check your rear view mirror every 5-10 seconds.
- Check your blind spot every time you signal.
- Turn your entire upper body to check what's behind your car (just exaggerate the movement) whenever you're driving on reverse
- Stay within the speed limit
Oshawa's max speed limit is 50km/h unless stated.
John St West (the street in front of the test center) is 40km/h.
That's my 2 cents.
Good luck everyone

If you need to memorize the test route in order to pass then you're not ready to have a full driver's license. Driving in real life isn't predictable.

Oakville Drive Test Hwy Route 2011 - Please verify
A family member is going to be taking the G2 Exit test in the next few weeks. From what I've read, I suspect that the highway route can only be one of the two following routes. Can anyone verify these routes or add to this discussion, if you took yet another route. Both routes start from the Cornwall / Ford Dr. area, and end back at the drive test center on Cornwall.
It sometimes take a bit for the google map to fully load.
Thanks in advance

I did my G2 in Oshawa on 23rd. I also got Kim (very sweet lady) explains everything! Don't be afraid to ask her to explain anything before hand if you are unsure.
The route was the same, all in all took about 15 mins in total. I passed even though I get very nervous for any type of test (shaking leg, not fun when pressing on gas pedal lol) and when doing parallel parking, I hit the curb. She can tell if you are skilled enough, and whether the mistakes you do are to nervousness or lack of skill.
-If you know how to drive well enough, but get nervous, you can pass!
-Always check every direction on turns to make sure way is clear, take time if you need.
-Try to go at the speed limit (50km) on the King St. W, (I was going like 43 km - one of the mistakes - too slow)
-Don't get nervous when you do mistakes, straighten up, correct and just keep going normally.
Merry Christmas, Safe driving and all the bestReply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked urdo22 for this post.

I have been thinking about design by contract lately and I was wondering what people think is the best way to assert pre-condition and post-condition of values in .NET? i.e. validating argument values to a method.
Some people recommend Debug.Assert while others talk about using an if statement plus throwing an exception. What are the pros and cons of each?
What frameworks are available that you recommend?

November 7, 2015, by E M S - Merseyside, UK - United Kingdom
I bought these for a pumpkin scarecrow costume for Halloween and they looked great. Be warned however, these are not gloves. They are filled with sponge with handle inside to hold. I removed the sponge without too much trouble though so was able to use them as gloves as intended. Alot of work went into the detail of these hands and you won't be disappointed. Great buy :)

I have a large array of points, which updates dynamically. For the most part, only certain (relatively small) parts of the array get updated. The goal of my program is to build and display a picture using these points.
If I build a picture directly from the points it would be 8192 x 8192 pixels in size. I believe an optimization would be to reduce the array in size. My application has two screen areas (the one is a magnification/zooming in of the other). Additionally I will need to pan this picture in either of screen areas.
My approach for optimization is as follows.
- Take a source array of points and reduce it with scaling factor for the first screen area
- Same for the second area, but with larger scaling factor
- Render there two arrays in two FBOs
- Using FBOs as a textures (to provide ability to pan a picture)
- When updating a picture I re-render only changed area.
Suggest ways to speed this up as my current implementation runs extremely slow.

Vegan Outreach
Rating: 4.64 stars 11 11 reviews
PO Box 1916 Davis CA 95617 USA
Vegan Outreach is dedicated to reducing animal sufferingby promoting informed, ethical eating. 99% of animals killed in the U.S. each year die tobe eaten; Vegan Outreach is working to expose andend cruelty to animals through the widespread distributionof our illustrated booklets (pdfs): WhyVegan, EvenIf You Like Meat, and CompassionateChoices, along with our follow-up Guideto Cruelty-Free Eating. As a Vegan Outreach activist, anyone, anywhere, inany situation can be the best possible spokespersonfor the animals. Our booklets have been distributedby many individuals and organizations, from middleschool students to animal advocacy organizations (e.g.,FARM, FarmSanctuary, TheFund for Animals, InDefense of Animals, Peta,Mercy forAnimals, etc.). Your donationwill put more booklets into more people''s hands.
No lasting, fundamental progress will be made towards a compassionate world until animals are no longer seen as food. Although most people express revulsion at the suffering of other animals, they still eat and wear animals and animal products. Instead of treating the symptoms, it is necessary to cure the disease itself: the view that animals are our tools. This view stems directly from society's distance from the animals we use and abuse. This remoteness allows otherwise thoughtful, caring people to believe that animals do not suffer in agriculture or other industries. Experience has shown that many compassionate people change their habits once they receive documented, detailed, and helpful information about the realities behind animal agriculture. VO reaches these people with Why Vegan and Try Vegetarian distribution by local activists at colleges, high schools, walk-a-thons, music concerts, peace and environmental conferences, health food stores, record stores, coffee shops, etc. Vegan Outreach has a new Adopt a College program to promote the distribution of vegetarian information at www.veganhealth.org/colleges.

Shovel in the face? Hilarious
Published: Monday, January 26, 2009 at 11:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 26, 2009 at 11:30 a.m.
This column is dedicated to my old buddy and fellow lover of the Three Stooges, local architect Ken Gaylord.
Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote: Man so often forgets it is his duty to God to laugh. So, men it is time to do our duty.
Poor women. God bless em, they just dont get it. The Three Stooges I mean. Women only see the violence in the Stooges. Men, of course, see the violence and it leaves them screaming with laughter, crawling-on-the-ground laughter!
Take the famous episode where we watch three really dumb guys digging a 10 by 10 by 10 foot hole in the ground. Moe has a long-handled shovel, Larry has a pick-ax and Curly has a sharp spade. If you are a man, just the combination of potential mayhem sends you into fits of hysterics. Am I right?
The episode begins with Curly cutting off part of Larrys foot just as Larry swings back with his pick and hits Curlys hard head. The pick is bent and warped and Curly merely rubs his head. Suddenly Moe hits Curly and Larry in the face with his shovel. The scene continues this way for five minutes as eyes are poked out and heads conked. Oh yes, the scene rocks and men will be wheezing and begging for air.
Women? Well, women will look at the men with pity. Why, they ask with water-filled eyes, all this horrible violence? What is so funny about seeing those poor men get poked, prodded and plastered? Well, men, you will try and explain but you might as well try to fly. The more you try, the more the women are staring in wonder at you. They have real doubts about you.
I have finally solved the problem. The answer is contained in one of the greatest sci-fi books ever written: Stranger in a Strange Land by John Heinlein. The book is about an American baby born in the first Earth colony on Mars. It turns out that no one on Mars is heard to laugh. The main character (the baby born on Mars) grows up and returns to Earth. He is mystified by all the laughter here. He simply doesnt get it? Sound familiar?
One day he visits a public zoo. At the monkey cage he witnesses something that horrifies him. The monkeys gang up on another monkey and beat the hapless monkey to death. Suddenly the main character begins laughing uncontrollably. In hysterics, he rolls on the ground with gut-wrenching belly laughs. It is then he understands that he is now truly human. He has learned the truth, the same truth that Three Stooges fans understand even if they dont actually realize it: Laughter is the ultimate form of crying. Remember, it was Mark Twain who said: True humor is based on sorrow, not joy.
If you want a great unique experience be sure to read Stranger in a Strange Land by John Heinlein. You will never be the same.
And men, the next time Moe pokes out Larrys eyes or Curly gets hit right square in the head with an anvil or Larry pries open Moes mouth with a crow bar go ahead and laugh your head off. And ladies, you dont have to pity your men. They are doing just fine. Maybe one day you too will get it.
Wooh! Wooh! Wooh! Nyuck! Nyuck!

I am making some plots with matplotlib, and I've come across a problem with the TeX rendering. It seems that the mathtext x-height is is a bit smaller than the normal Bitstream Vera Sans. See the following example:
x = linspace(0, 30, 300);
y = 0.5*rand(300)+20/(numpy.power(x-15, 2)+4);
xlabel(r'$\omega$ (rad$\cdot$Hz)');
title(r'Why is $mathtext$ so much smaller than normal text?');
As you can see, it's particularly noticeable with greek letters and numbers. Ideally, I'd be able to define some scaling factor that would just make the math text a bit bigger at each font size. Is there any way to do this simply? I do not want to simply use Computer Modern everywhere. I also do not want to compile a new Tex math font, if that's even possible.
One solution that I would be on board with is using sans-serif fonts for the greek letters and numerals, but for whatever reason, matplotlib ignores formatting on those:
title('Why does $mat\mathsf{plot}lib$ ignore formatting for $\mathsf{2}$ ($\mathsf{two}), $\mathbf{2}$ ($\mathbf{two}) and $\mathsf{\omega}$?')
I assume it's something to do with the nature of how these things are typeset, but is there any way to fix it?

The Magic Numbers On Mountain Stage
The Magic Numbers On Mountain Stage
Set List
- "Don't Give Up the Fight"
- "Forever Lost"
- "Love's a Game"
- "Love Me Like You"
- "Up On the Roof" (performed by Julie Adams)
Comprised of two pairs of brothers and sisters, London's Magic Numbers visited Mountain Stage in 2006. Blending sonic experimentation with the sweet California sunshine pop of groups like The Lovin' Spoonful and The Mamas & The Papas, The Magic Numbers released its self-titled debut to wide critical acclaim in 2005. Since that Mountain Stage appearance, the group has released Those The Brokes, and in 2010, The Runaway. The latter featured string parts written by frequent Nick Drake collaborator Robert Kirby, who passed away shortly after the project's completion.
The Magic Numbers are followed by Julie Adams, backed by the Mountain Stage band, with her own rendition of the Carole King / Gerry Goffin standard "Up on the Roof."
