Your Hakka Noodles look so good.ReplyDelete
We always have different kinds of noodles for lunch as it's quick and easy to cook. ^0^
This looks great. This is another comfort food. This is a dish I would eat after a hard day's work. So, is Hakka noodles also egg noodles? Are they similar to ramen too?ReplyDelete
Wonderful noodle dish! Cannot get enough of these noodles.ReplyDelete
Thanks. Noodles for me anytime, quick job!
It is egg noodles, but the texture is a bit different from won ton noodles. Not so sure whether it's similar to ramen.

Oh, a good question. Hakka is a clan from China, another name is Khek,(in Chinese means 'guest') they speak a different dialect, but they're hardworking people. In M'sia most of them, the early migrants,I mean, work in tin mines and some of them branch out to set up Chinese medical shops. This is one of their dish. Some of their signature dishes are Hakka Yong Tau Fu (Stuffed tofu) and mui choy kow yoke (preserved vegetable with pork slices).

Ya, there are quite a no. of eateries in Ipoh, famous for this hawker food.
Ya, easy to eat in front of the TV, no bones, just chew and swallow only!
Yes, it's one of my children's favourites. Thanks for dropping by.
YUM! I wish I can have of that now instead of my congee. I need soft soft noodles.ReplyDelete

Can only get egg noodles here. It's a delicious dish, always have it whenever I am in IpohReplyDelete
The Mee dish looks wonderful! Light, flavourful and healthy!ReplyDelete
Yup, these noodles are flavourful.

You can substitute with your egg noodles, but make the mince meat and mushroom sauce. Of course, I understand, you Hakka lady!
Yup, the dish is light and nutritious too.
Hi, I was looking for a simple Hakka mee recipe and came across your blog. Enjoyed many of your simple preparation. Thanks for posting these cooking ideas.ReplyDelete

Ampro Announces Complete Line of Linux(R) 2.6 Computers
Ampro's Tiny ReadySystem(TM) Fits 400 to 1400 MHz Computing Into Small
Jan 24, 2006, 00:00 ET from Ampro Computers, Inc.
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Ampro Computers, Inc., a leading supplier of standards-based embedded computers and single board computers, today announced the re-introduction of the ReadySystem(TM) family of embedded computers with Linux(R) 2.6 to help customers, OEMs, and system integrators rapidly deploy Ampro products into the smallest possible application environments. The new ReadySystem bench-top and wall-mount computers include the ReadySystem 1U, ReadySystem 2U, and ReadySystem ATX with Linux 2.6. Other operating systems will be available starting in Q2 2006. Ampro's ReadySystem 1U computer is an ideal application-ready Linux computer for space-constrained environments. Featuring desktop-style Fedora Core 3 Linux pre-installed on the hard drive, the ReadySystem 1U uses an industry standard 1U height [180mm (w) x 44mm (h) x 203mm (d)]. The ReadySystem 1U features Ampro ReadyBoard(TM) SBCs with Intel(R) processors from 400 MHz Celeron(R) to 1.4 GHz Pentium(R) M, bringing high computing performance with low power consumption and all electronics in a compact housing for stand-alone applications. ReadySystem 1U includes a robust set of I/O and can be configured with various memory sizes, hard disk, and/or Compact Flash options. The ReadySystem 2U computer offers customizable I/O expansion to Linux users, and uses an industry standard 2U height. It provides expansion 'slots' for two PC/104, PC/104-Plus or PCI-104 expansion cards. The ReadySystem 2U is 180mm (w) x 88mm (h) x 152mm (d) and is easy to integrate with expansion I/O through convenient customizable I/O panels. Performance is scalable from 400 MHz to 1.4 GHz. The ReadySystem ATX computer offers customizable I/O expansion, up to two PC/104 modules, and includes an integrated ATX power supply. ReadySystem computers use any of the products in the ReadyBoard family, up to 1GB DRAM, and a 40GB hard disk drive, integrated into a complete system with Fedora Core 3 Linux installed on HDD. Compact Flash can be added for additional storage, or as the boot device for more rugged environments. Starting in Q2, ReadySystem will be offered with a choice of operating systems, Windows(R) XP, XPe, or CE 5.0 as well as Linux 2.6. "Ampro's standard EPIC form factor SBCs and new smaller ReadySystem computers provide an unbeatable combination for space-constrained full featured embedded systems," said Joanne Mumola Williams, president and CEO of Ampro. "Customers now get even more support to get EPIC-based medical, industrial and instrumentation products rapidly to market. ReadySystem products provide a complete, flexible, yet inexpensive solution that meets the requirements of many computer system customers." Ampro ReadySystem computers are designed for wall-mount and desktop applications. In addition, rack mount ears are available for both enclosures, enabling the use of inexpensive computers in a high density rack environment. PC-style connectors on each ReadySystem I/O panel provides easy access to USB ports, 2 Ethernet ports (RJ45), dual serial ports (DB9), CRT video, PS/2 keyboard and mouse port, three audio jacks (line in, line out and microphone in) and LEDs for power and HDD activity. Additional I/O ports on the ReadySystem 2U and ATX include two additional DB9 serial ports (for a total of four), two additional USB ports (for a total of four). ReadySystem computers also provide external access to the CompactFlash slot with a convenient and EMI-protected cover. The operating environment is 0-45 degrees C for both systems. ReadySystem 1U and 2U are DC-powered, using either customer-supplied 12-24V or optional external Ampro AC/DC brick supply, while ReadySystem ATX contains an integrated ATX power supply with 110/220V AC input. Pricing and Availability ReadySystem computer Quick Start Kits are available now and come complete with DC power converter and all cables and necessary hardware. The ReadySystem 1U, 2U, ATX are available now. Prices start under $977 in small quantities.

That's because the magazine has deleted the graphic and highly offensive spread from the Internet (though it still appears in print, in the new "Women in Fiction" issue). A Vice spokesperson just emailed the following statement: Advertisement Advertisement "Last Words" is a fashion spread featuring models reenacting the suicides of female authors who tragically ended their own lives. It is part of our 2013 Fiction Issue (http://www.vice.com/magazine/20/6), one that is entirely dedicated to female writers, photographers, illustrators, painters, and other contributors.The fashion spreads in VICE magazine are always unconventional and approached with an art editorial point-of-view rather than a typical fashion photo-editorial one. Our main goal is to create artful images, with the fashion message following, rather than leading."Last Words" was created in this tradition and focused on the demise of a set of writers whose lives we very much wish weren't cut tragically short, especially at their own hands. We will no longer display "Last Words" on our website and apologize to anyone who was hurt or offended.—The EditorsAside from the "it's art, you idiots — sorry if you were offended" fauxpology, it's pretty cowardly of Vice to delete the post entirely — like someone just doesn't want to own up to their mistakes. Instead of a 404 page, why not update the post to remove the images, leave the link intact, leave the hundreds of critical comments below it intact, and apologize sincerely for the decision to commission and publish the photos? I guess that would require someone at the magazine to feel actual contrition. UPDATE: The link now goes to a post featuring the statement previously emailed to us, although none of the comments were preserved. Criticism of the weak-ass fauxpology still stands.

Lovely venue for a family meal out. Warmly welcomed, politely served, gorgeous food .... Recommend booking.
Went with family and had a really nice meal. The food was well presented and tasty. The view over the harbour was lovely. The bill at the end of the meal wasn't so nice as I thought it was very expensive. The service was ok but they made a couple of mistakes with the order which you would not expect... 更多
I contacted The Waterside a couple of months ago to book a celebration party in September to mark my wife`s retirement and a significant birthday. The restaurant`s website encouraged me to book ahead to avoid disappointment. My dinner booking for six was accepted readily, and I subsequently received a couple of marketing emails from Waterside. How disappointing then to receive... 更多
This is a restaurant with a chef with genuine talent. If it a simple dish like his beer battered fish and chips or his more sophisticated pan fried monkfish the cooking is of the highest order and in the case of my companion's monkfish his understanding of the balance of spices was excellent. I will definitely be eating again there... 更多
Lovely location, super ambience, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable service to enjoy delicious food (lots of fish and seafood as you'd hope) and a good range of wines. We loved it and are going back to sample more of the menu. A different experience but in many ways as good (possibly better) than it's namesake in Bray, Berkshire.
In a delightful location on stone pier where ferry leaves for Falmouth. Can park on pier if spaces but can be hard to find if town very busy. Very friendly but understaffed that night (serving) but they made a good best effort and the food was worth waiting for. On warm days/evenings you can also sit outside with a great... 更多
What a lovely restaurant. Decided to visit on a very wet evening but such a welcoming place and staff. food was delicious and waitress excellent. food came in short time and was beautifully presented and tasty. Would definitely recommend.
This unassuming waterside restaurant in the attractive village of Flushing is well worth a visit. The young and attentive staff are superb. The food much better than expected and well priced. Limited wines but what is available is good. If the weather is good you can sit outside and watch the huge number of yachts moored nearby. A hidden gem... 更多
Great restaurant in the quiet village of Flushing. There is a really nice relaxed ambience, staff are so friendly and food is lovely, nice fresh fish dishes and plenty of other choices. Food is very reasonably priced. It is a little hidden gem, would recommend booking for dinner as they get busy. You can take your dog into the restaurant... 更多

Coral Morphologic
'Oyster Vision'
(Natural History Episode 13)
Here we look into the face of the thorny oyster (Spondylus americanus). Unlike most shallow-water oyster species, the thorny oyster is a solitary creature that lives permanently cemented to the deeper coral reef. Its fleshy mantle is adorned with sepia-toned psychedelic camouflage that can vary widely from one individual to the next. The rim of the mantle is lined with dozens of eyes that stare out into the depths. These eyes are quite simple, only detecting changes in light that might suggest an incoming predator. If a threat is detected, the oyster will quickly snap its two shells together, sealing the animal inside with its two powerful adductor muscles. It is the adductor muscle that people eat when they eat 'oysters on the half shell'. Oysters are filter feeders, spending their time siphoning water through gills that strain out particulate matter. As seen in the film, the oyster periodically expels waste and water with a quick contraction of its adductor muscles.
In the second installment (next week) we will explore the upper shell of the oyster and the community of organisms that has colonized it.

Outstanding 4.9 /5 from 19 reviews
Great! Really enjoyed it but the drain of the shower tRay in the restroom was not working. Clogged up and changed rooms yet the same problem. Food in the restaurant was old but great staff, very friendly and great service especially in the breakfast Resturant. Guest service ladies service could be improved. :) over all lovely experience will come again.
wonderfoul hotel, service & food
The restaurant service and attention was excellent, at every meal. However, we were disappointed with the on-site concierge service. Requested wake up call was not made. Promised details on pre-booked balloon ride and airport shuttle on departure were not delivered. On check out, inflexibility was expressed when our confirmation time (12:30) differed from what the concierge desk stated. "You have 10 minutes to leave", when hotel had very low occupancy.
The Hotel was beautiful, built into a cave, with all rooms having a great view of the valley. The only thing that wasn't perfect was our dinner at the hotel restaurant. The breakfast was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

Skip to comments.THE SAVAGE NATION!!!!!! 9-18-12
Posted on 09/18/2012 2:51:45 PM PDT by dynachrome
(Excerpt) Read more at michaelsavage.wnd.com ...
Dr. memorex?
In for the follies!
Rich and his wife Alexandra Witchel are the couple who are super wealthy with mansions and all and spend their time worrying about the poor 24/7?
.. but at least Rich learned something during the week or torture.. he ended his column with . . . if I learned anything in my week strolling around the conservative mind, it was that anyone who sticks to an exclusive diet of lamestream media is missing the news.
Sounds like he is LIVE today.
He is in!
The media have truly jumped the shark. They don't even make any pretense at being fair and balanced or presenting both sides. They are in the tank for Obama, hook, line and sinker.
Live, I think.
broken record Tuesday
Lots of LINKS to listen to the Savage radio show here!!! - updated 19-Jun-2012
KDWN - Vegas - 000's favorite city!!!
Call the show at 1-800-449-8255
July 8, 1964
GOP Warned To Beware Of Extremist May Destroy Republicans: Romney Reject infiltrators and purveyors of hate, said the Michigan governor . . . .
A friend of mine says she is hearing war-talk (w/ China) out of Viet Nam. Her relatives over there have told her about it recently.
I'm guessing doc is off tonite - Jewish holiday part deux.
LMAO good one!
I'm in Japan but was unaware of the Chinese General's comments about war with Japan until Dr. Savage mentioned it . Just posted the story on my Facebook page .
I have noticed in recent weeks an upsurge in military flights ( jets , helis ) over us here in Kyushu ( southern Japan right across the street from China and Korea ) .
Broken record, good call.
I remember how he says talk radio needs to change, that "Obama good, Romney bad" can't survive forever. Yet he engages in that too; how many more times do we have to hear about Obama's missing grades, etc.?
The part that sounded live was The Donald coming on, announcing his reopening of Mar-A-Lago, Savage's fundraising plans for elephants. (Better than collecting money for donkeys.)
Savage is correct about the way Israel acts.
I recall the Sharon-Arafat encounters for years. Arafat or associates would attack Israel. Sharon would invate the Palestinian area, surround Arafat compound, shake his fist, then withdraw because the US SoS [Rice] said to. Six months later, the actions repeats. Another passage of time, and the scenario repeats again.
That went on until Sharon had a stroke and Arafat died (possibly from radiation poisoning).
For years, Netanyahu has been claiming that Iran is just months away from having a nuclear bomb. No doubt that Iran is working on it, and may be close. No doubt that the software viruses and deaths of nuclear related scientists and personnel have come from outside Iran. Still, Netanyahu has been sounding that same warning for years. [Savage is just saying the same thing. lol]
Not long ago, the US Navy found a Chinese sub right in the middle of the US fleet.
How vunerable is the US fleet, in reality?
Some pics of anti Japanese riots via Zerohedge:
Though I have switched to Red Eye I do listen when the show is about current affairs.. and I tune in on week ends but I just emailed Producer Dan that I am struggling to listen even on week ends..
after C2C remembered the attacks on us (9/11) with a show naming Cheney, the neo-cons (a pejorative word for Zionists), and the Saudis as the attackers.
How the hell did Cheney get the Islamist-hating Zionists to partner with the Zionist-hating Islamists? Wells never asked.
.. oh the health threat to me from last night.. Hulet said "Vote Republican!" This was after naming many things that Obama is doing that threatens every American; I got a preview of what a heart attack is going to be like -- never heard anything like that since Bell retired (for good) and Barbara Simpson no longer did the week-end shows.
Knapp's Sunday show was good.. but it seemed to me that he had to drag it out of the guest (a whistleblower persecuted by Washington) that according to the Nation magazine article Obama was even worse than Bush.
"How vunerable is the US fleet"
ROE may tie their hands. By the time the Navy calls Zero at 3am it will be too late.
The general population here in Japan remains peaceful. How much longer will peace will last? As we speak there is a flotilla of 1,000 Chinese fishing boats headed to the disputed islands . If Japan does nothing it will be seen as weak and ineffective . If it reacts it will be accused of nationalism . If the US does nothing to protect it then Japan will see no reason not to ditch the constitution that prevents them from re-arming and strengthening their military.
"ditch the constitution that prevents them from re-arming"
Pacifists do not do well in hard times. Self defense is more than just waiting to be attacked.
what's the verdict - was he live or partly live?
I thought he was live at first, but it seemed like a mix of old shows later, i.e. Trump, elephant rescue.
I was away for a bit, but I heard no mention of the Romney 47% thing.
Obviously the masses are being distracted -- at least it seems so to me.
It seems so easy to stir it up even more in Red China and you got revolution and no war outside of Red China.
Send treats to the troops...
Great because you did it.
(An entirely free service)
I heard one of the callers towards the end of the show ask Hulet who he thought we should be voting for and Noorey jumped right in and said it wasn't that kind of show, there'll be none of that, everyone has to make up their own mind. I did hear a couple of times Hulet say he thinks/feels HUSSEIN will be re-elected. Seems everyone who has been on C2C in the last year has predicted HUSSEIN will win the election, I'm surprised Noorey let Hulet get away with that "vote republican" comment!
"masses are being distracted"
Economically, I wonder how many of the stats out of China are any where near reality?
He said it just as they exited for the top-of-the-hour break.. if Noory wanted to respond he could not have had time.
I have mentioned this before.. I emailed Dr. Corsi asking if Noory prohibits him from criticizing Obama.. and he was kind enough to respond that, no it is just that C2C is not the right place for it and he said that "Noory is not in the bag for Obama."
I never hear -- though I don't listen that much either -- about GDP, GNP, the BLS stuff like we get vis-a-vis the employment situation.. instead I hear about energy consumption as a means to judge the economy.
I guess the Chi-Coms didn't think to fudge that. One report said current usage has fallen below past month's consumption. Their economy is sinking no matter what the other numbers say.
BTW, John Batchelor interviewed an author of a new book about how (I am trying to remember exactly) the GNP won W.W.II.
The whole measurement of our economy's output was developed to tell the generals what they would have in 1943, 1944, and beyond. The numbers were almost exact it turned out and the generals planned with confidence.
After listing recent things going wrong the guest said something like "If you are unhappy with Obama vote Republican".
Yes, I have mentioned that before as well. Noory has become very disenchanted with HUSSEIN, he no longer worships at the altar and does not drink the kool aid anymore. Whenever someone comes on the show and says they think/feel HUSSEIN will get a second term, Noory either grumbles or sighs or makes some verbal noise indicating he is not happy with that idea.
Joyce Riley is a Registered Nurse and frequent guest on C2C who publicizes the health problems of veterans of the various Middle East military actions -- mostly the Gulf War.
The last time she was on detailing the many problems Noory stopped her for a second to comment something like "You know when you were here during the Bush years you always blamed him. Do you feel the same way about President Obama?" She had to admit that yes Obama is no better.
I suspect that enough people are complaining and/or leaving the show that they finally understand the dictionary definition of nonpartisan.
Knapp's Sunday show was another good sign as be kept after the guest until the guest finally admitted that yes Obama is at least as bad as Bush.

2:1–3 Luke dates the birth of Jesus by the common method of referring to the political rulers (3:1). There is no other record of a worldwide census under Augustus, but he did reorganize the administration of the empire and conducted censuses for taxation purposes. Quirinius was governor of Syria when a census was carried out in a.d. 6 and may have been there earlier (10–7 b.c.). It seems to have been the custom to conduct a census at intervals of fourteen years. Luke may be referring to a census preceding the well-known and unpopular census taken by Quirinius in a.d. 6.

Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' is one of my favorite plants! It starts blooming
late in the summer into fall when many of the other flowers of the same form
are on their way out. The flowers stay very crisp and clean looking for a
very long time. I have it growing in almost full shade! It flowers well
and makes a large clump. It gets about 4 -5' tall.

Remember going to summer camp and coming back with nothing but a sunburn, mosquito bites, and a birdcage made out of popsicle sticks? This year, go to a camp where you'll actually learn something useful — accordion camp! Camp AccordionLand 2006 takes place at Crown Point State Park in Alameda on August 12th and 13th. The camp features workshops led by local accordion teachers (including tango, jazz, and klezmer workshops), two accordion orchestra performances, and even an accordion sand sculpture contest. Depending on your schedule, you can choose to attend both days, just one day, or even for just one workshop. Anna and I are planning to be there on Sunday (the 13th), so come up and say 'hi' if you're there!

The overarching goal of this proposal is to establish and follow a cohort of ethnically diverse pregnant women and their offspring in order to longitudinally explore the hypothesis that fetal over-nutrition is associated with obesity, metabolic and cardio- vascular abnormalities in offspring. As part of the current application, we propose to test the hypothesis that programming of neonatal adiposity is driven by maternal obesity per se, in the absence of frank gestational diabetes. To determine whether there are associations between specific maternal factors and neonatal outcomes we will examine the effects of maternal obesity, diet and weight gain during pregnancy, together with specific potential mediators measured prospectively throughout pregnancy (maternal fuels, markers of insulin-resistance and inflammation). These are factors that can be targeted by future interventions. We propose to enroll a total of 1,920 pregnant women before 15 weeks of gestation and follow them prospectively through delivery in order to explore the relationships between maternal body size and behaviors during pregnancy [pre-pregnant BMI, weight gain, diet], intra-partum fuels (glucose, lipids, FFA), markers of inflammation (IL-6, TNF-?) and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)], and infant body size (birth weight for gestational age), fatness (determined by air displacement plethysmography) and fat deposition (skinfolds). All women will have two fasting in- person visits, in early pregnancy (15-16 weeks of gestation, IPV1) and mid pregnancy (24-28 weeks of gestation, IPV2). This well characterized cohort of pregnant women will not only permit us to test important hypotheses related to programming of neonatal fatness (Aims 1 and 2), but will also be informative for the planned follow-up of the cohort of offspring assembled. To explore the relationships between maternal factors and infant metabolic markers, a random sample (N=300) of mother/infant pairs, enriched in women with GDM, will be selected to undergo a neonatal fasting blood draw protocol. Biomarkers traditionally associated with an increased risk of future cardiovascular disease, such as glucose, lipids (triglyceride, total and HDL-cholesterol, FFA), markers of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and insulin secretion, and markers of inflammation (TNF-?, leptin) will be explored in these newborns (Aim 3).
A substantial increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity among obstetric populations of all ages, racial/ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds has been reported in the last decade. Hence, maternal obesity has become an important and potentially modifiable exposure with potential programming consequences. This project offers a unique opportunity to explore a timely public health problem by testing the hypothesis that maternal obesity programs neonatal growth, fatness and metabolism, and by identifying specific mediators of these effects that can be targeted by future interventions.

This was a terrific place to stay. It was close enough to walk to the main street but far enough away that you were not on top of it and it was quiet. The apartment was very large and the service was excellent. The only improvements they could make was to include more items in the kitchen as it was quite poorly stocked. Overall, I would recommend this as a great place to stay.

In the distance I could hear sirens getting closer. Someone must have spotted the crash and called for help. I looked back to wehere the thing had been standing and saw that it was gone. My sight was still blurry so I couldn't see if it had walked somehwere else. What was that thing? The sirens had gotten louder and I could here doors slaming on the vehicles. Several figures came running over to me. I tried to ask them if my dad was ok, but they had put an oxygen mask over my face before I could say anything.
"Everything will be alright ma'am. We're going to get you help as soon as possible." I heard a man say. I then felt something being put around my neck. The people hoisted me up onto the gurny and then wheeled me inside of theambulence. I was sp terrified at that moment. All I wanted to know was if my dad was ok. No one was saying anything. I felt something sharp poke into my arm and knew that I was being plugged up to an I.V. I could feel the liquid running through my veins, and then my eyes started getting heavy. I slowly drifted out of consciousness, and then it all went black.

The night club was so much fun!!!
I always stay here when I'm in AC. it's close to the beach, has shopping and food options inside for the rainy days, its own movie theater and gym and three night clubs!! That the Night clubs are weekend only. so during the week you have to venture out to party.
Found one in our bed. Confirmed by security. Management gave us the runaround -- had to call three times to get someone with authority up to our room. Disgusting. Poorly handled.
We stayed at Havana tower For 4 days with two queen bed, coffee maker, and a small refridge. New and clean room. We only wished there is a bathtub in the bathroom and a microwave oven in room. We wish there is a bathtub in the bathroom.
Location Don't know on who's end it happened but they lost my reservation checking in took way to long. Had to show room key each time to get to elevator so annoying
Shower was aweful! Poor water pressure! Beds were lovely!
Leaving Smell of room,cheap amenities in room,inadiquit lighting in room
Terrible room in west tower, bathroom wouldn't lock, toilet didn't work all the time, and you could hear elevators running all night in the room that sounded like a loud roller coaster.
Variety of activities and events, also plenty of restaurants that are themed around different ethnic groups. When I get to my room, it is handicapped designed. Windows so dirty I can't see out of. Nothing to control the climate of room. Water was scalding hot and no cold at all. The next day I was able to get another room.
The accommodations was great. They where able to get me the room that I asked for. Everything was absolutely great.
Liked the location on the AC boardwalk. Knew it would be worth the cost Spacious rooms, clean, decor food
Room was not as clean. Bathroom need major update. Water was freezing cold. No hot water for long time. Got west tower. DO NOT recommend west tower . So crowded waiting for an elevator. Have to show keys all the time.
After waiting on a long line to check in. We carried our luggage up to our room, unpacked and found a cigarette still in one of the ashtrays. I then checked the bedding and it looked dirty and slept on. Then I went into the bathroom and there were stains on the floor. I called the front desk and they said they would come change the sheets. After I got off the phone we found another guest's luggage by the front door. We were two young girls staying in the room. The luggage had the name of a man on it. The hotel gave us a room that someone else was staying in. We were frightened that this guest would come back to the room while we were still in there. We quickly packed our things and lugged them back down to the front desk. They gave us another room but that was not enough for all the trouble we had gone through
The pool is free for guess. Pool party not free for guess
1. The bed in the room are so bad, making noise and the mattress cauze a back pain. 2. Staff are not helpful and they just ignore you 3. There is nothing for the children to do even the pool they can't use and after all this they charge you resort fee. The hotel quality doesn't worth the money I paid. The parking are so expensive. More than NYC I would not stay in this hotel again
Staff was fantastic both in friendliness and how accompanying they were towards guests. Very comfortable bed. Their regular rate was about the same as Borgata, which is infinitely superior. Room had a weird smell. Bathroom toilet was so low that I could barely use it, and the tub had cigarette burns everywhere.
The pool after dark was very nice. Did not expect it to be so big. Nice hotel. I think if your a guest at the hotel you should get in to the pool after dark for free. Absolutely not enough towels took a hr to find 3 towels. I checked the hrs of the club online it stated 24 hrs on sat, we got kicked out at 4A.M. Concidering we had to pay for each person cant find towels we litterally jumped in and 10 min later got kicked out. As for the room i asked for the highest room posibble and i got the 4th floor. not happy at all about that! I asked for smoking it was non smoking. the bed sheets had stains on them.
Small old room.
Buffet Cost and room was not totally clean. Toilet not real clean and beer bottle was left in the room.
Outdated rooms
I was trying to sleep. My room phone started ringing at 4am like crazy non stop. People kept harassing me and calling my room I was scared I had no idea who it was. This is absolutely ridiculous I shouldn't have had to deal with that.
Cheep Pools where closed for renovation Could not receive rewards card (10pm was too late) No remote No room service past 12am Pillows VERY small Bed sagged in the middle Room smelled like mildew Carpets where stained beyond belief.
Upgraded rooms are the way to go
They have an indoor pool but very limited seating available unless you want to pay for it. We were at the pool by 10AM and there were no chairs available. For a resort that size, who charges a resort fee, the pool should be more accommodating.
I got a great deal on a room in the Centurion Tower (about $125 a night even after the resort fee, which was about $26 a day that they charge you at the end) and wasn't expecting a lot, though the room had a great view and was quite beautiful. Maid service was proficient in keeping it clean for the two days my girlfriend and I stayed there and I was overall very satisfied with the value I got while staying here, despite the bad Yelp reviews. The TV in the mirror (which I think is an item only available in the premium rooms) was broken, and when I called maintenance about it, they said most of those mirror TVs throughout the hotel were broken. It wasn't an essential feature of the room, though it was unfortunate that it didn't work.
The room was nice but you need to be at the rite tower. Staff was rood at registration,we booked 2 rooms but they only showed one, also they wanted to give us double beds although we booked one king size bed.
I thought the staff was so helpful and friendly
The view N/a
It was located right in the middle of everything. You can walk to anywhere. The pool was for use by those 21 years old or older only. We had to go to ballys to use the pool. I didnt know that when booking the hotel.
It's as if a pipe was vibrating between the walls, but it would happen every 15 minutes. Very annoying while trying to sleep.
One of the best places to stay in AC
The room I asked for, I did not get.
Every thing was goog Every thing was good except the smell of smoking butchers us although our room was non smoking
While AC seems to be running down, this resort seem to be getting better. Unlike may stays in AC at other hotels, with the exception of Revel (closed) and Borgata, most place have become dirty and old, Caesar's room were spotless, nothing seemed old or run down (and I stayed at the old tower). The restaurants in the center lobby was pleasant to have dinner and a drink , connection to the mall was convenient, and the third floor restaurant in the Mall where very impressive and Manhattan like. I would recommend a couples weekend here, even for those who stay out of the Casino, as I did.
I just came back from Europe that was a month long, this hotel is totally a replication of the hotels in Europe! High quality rooms that are extremely clean! I won't stay anywhere else now!
Room faced lobby, was bright all night long, tons of noise coming into room, room was not ready when we arrived as offered online for 3pm check in, waste of 200 dollars, didn't sleep all night due to light coming in and noise from lobby traffic, would NEVER stay if here if had a choice elsewhere
Nice showers!! Late check in time and early check out time.
Very nice hotel, clean rooms, nice staff. Nothing.
Attentive staff, nice facilities, and beautiful design. It certainly sets itself apart from the rest of Atlantic City. Room was dirty. Chipped furniture, somebody's dirty socks on the floor, grimy bathroom and the sheets had holes in them and smelled like cigarettes. Was hoping to avoid that in a non-smoking room. Also, got bitten by bedbugs in my one night sleeping in the bed.
great spa! the view from our room was not great.
The location was convenient. The beds were comfortable. The fitness hours are 10am-6pm. This is useless. The staff was not customer service oriented. It was highly unorganized and not efficient. The restaurants did not not have vegetarian options.
Room was fairly cheap compared to close by casinos and still luxurious and clean. Pay your staff. A fairly good amount of staff were on strike outside the entrances to the casino. Maybe this is why the rooms were cheaper. I think we should have been notified that a loud stike has been in progress for quite a while now. Either way, stop being cheap to your employees.
It was terrible. Everything was closes. Gross place
It was less busy than the other casinos. Roberts steakhouse was amazing. Dealers and casino staff were A+ friendly and helpful. It was over priced for the quality of the rooms. Dated and not top notch anymore. Also smelled like weed alot It was over priced for the quality of the rooms. Union workers were on strike...and they were rude. They struck themselves right out of a job as it was announced it was closing.
The bed & pillows. Spacious room. Security was present at all times. Its unsanitary condition. Not maintained properly. Room had a bad odor. 2 of the towels were dirty. Toile flush was not working properly. The employees on strike was sad n annoying at the same time. I've stayed here a couple of years ago and it was great. But I will never come back here.
The decor was beautiful and everyone was friendly The protesters screaming at us anytine we left the building. Would have been nice to know BEFORE booking.
Very big and beautiful room. Very nice and clean and the staff is excellent. Not all the tables in the casino were working. The parking lot is far from the hotel and the way from him to the hotel is not simple.
Nothing The entire boardwalk is deserted. Atlantic City is a mess
Location to the beach was extremely close. Parking was convenient. There was a number of fine food choices in the hotel. Chairman Tower room was very night. The remodeled bathroom did help my overall opinion. Charge for parking. 6pm check-in time/12 checkout. Housekeeping tried to kick us out early. Pool closes at 6pm (check-in), so no pool. Checked in, got to our room, keys didn't work. Frankly, when this hotel was new I'm sure it was amazing. It seems money is not being put into upkeep.
Price, proximity of food, large room, cheap parking Room quality a bit lacking
i like all no like cloes
None Everything service was terrible the room was never cleaned the two nights that I stayed. I had to call front desk to get towel. I will not go back there even if it was free
Hotel was clean Non-smoking room that smelled of cigarette, staff could of been a bit more friendlier
Good value. Very nice room. Free parking was a plus. I've never liked resort fees. Confused about WiFi rules/possible charges so didn't use.
Half of the bathroom lights didn't work, including those above the toilet and shower.
The people were great, the staff friendly and helpful Great value Dirty and disorganized - changed room 3 times in 3 days for reasons unknown
The water pressure in the shower. First off they overcharged me. I paid for my room in full here on Kayak and then they hit me for more fees (RESORT FEES) on check out. Secondly the place is just the biggest dump. Stuck in the 70's. I wanted to barf.
Extra pillows. Changed my room without a problem. Staff were kind. Room was spacious and what we needed. Double charged for parking. First room was smoke smelling, phone didn't work, and NOT a "quiet room" (right next to elevator is quiet room??). 2nd room was better. Wifi was extra charge but was told would be free. Very expensive
Food was great. It was fun and mistly clean. Room service menu was very limited. Had to call 3 times for room service and was told i couldnt irder off normal menu had to use limited menu because casino was cutting back.
I liked the service when I checked in. They provided a cot for my room to accomadate me and my family. I didn't like that there is a $5 charge per person for the pool. If I'm a guest it should be included with the stay. I moved the table and there was crumbs left from God knows when. They should clean better. The rooms need to be updated. The elevator was also annoying putting the key in to get to your floor.
Check-In person was terrific. She was so apologetic when our room was no ready yet and she had to spend some time working things out, finally moving us up to a suite ;-) Speaks well to their customer focus! All was great!
Great location for the beach and the convention center. Lots of nice restaurants, although with the downturn in AC, they are not frequently open. Atlantic City is a morgue. The hotel is really long in the tooth. I had an electrical outlet falling out of the wall in the bathroom. Paint was peeling from the ceiling in the shower. There was a round table but no desk. For a convention city, I would expect a desk.
Guy Fieri's restaurant was awesome. Amazing food and staff there. Request a table with a view at restaurant it's a great view. Our Room had a beautiful ocean view as well. Check in is horrible. 45 mins on line on a Saturday. We complained and were told it's like that every weekend. Almost missed our dinner reservation because of it. Stressful way to start. The whole lobby and casino smells horribly of cigarette smoke. There is terrible separation of non smoking and smoking sections. This really was a bad issue. Rooms not bad but not great. If you get a really good price it's ok but we spent almost $400 a night and DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THAT. Go to Borgata for that price instead. Lesson learned for us.
No surprises, no problems. Comfortable and close to everything: the boardwalk and other casinos. It could get a little newer but I'm not complaining.
A lot to do within the casino and hotel Expensive with nothing included
The hotel is really nice and gives a luxury feeling. Liked the decor, the pool and the shops/restaurants in general. The customer service is very friendly and professional. The air quality isn't great. They allow smoking inside. Although there are smoking and non smoking sections, you can smell the smokes everywhere.
Atmosphere Prices on alcohol
SHOWER HAD ONLY COLD WATER AND HAD NO PRESSURE BREAKFAST WAS SERVED WARM/COOL EMPLOYEES HAD ATTITUDE. I WALK WITH A CANE AND I NEEDED TO SIT DOWN THERE WAS A TABLE HIDDEN AWAY WITH ONLY ONE PERSON PLAYING THE MAN WHO WATCHES THINGS SAID GET UP IF YOU WANT TO WATCH "I CANT SIT DOWN" I ASKED THE DEALER BEFORE I SAT DOWN BUT, I JUST LEFT. THE MAN WHO TOLD ME TO LEAVE WAS COLD AND WITH A NASTY TONE. I WILL GO TO ONE OF THE OTHER HOTEL EITHER THE golden NUGGET OR HARRAHS.
The Borgata is beautiful and luxurious. We loved the architectural touches and art everywhere, and the various restaurants. The hotel room was lovely and very comfortable. Terrible terrible idea to put a smoking section immediately outside the elevators to the hotel. My family and I are all sensitive to smoke and, although we knew there would be smoking areas, expected we could avoid the sinus-assaulting stench. Fail! The pool area is lovely, but the water was cloudy and screaming kids throwing footballs were uncontrolled. Ugh.
Nicest casino in AC The beds were terrible
Good restaurants. That you have no access to Water Club pool when you are an overnight guest at Borgata.
Lovely hotel and amenities. The outdoor gardens were beautiful..We went to the Water Club pool the day after we checked in. Restaurants were fabulous. Water Club only allows access to pool area after 4pm on day of check in!
Spa is great. Great restaurant options, would prefer that they have some open longer into the night. Staff is friendly, check out is a breeze, Pool was being cleaned on a Saturday, seemed a bit illogical considering many people were waiting around for the pool to open up and it opened at 5, only to close at 8. Smoking areas dispersed through the casino so it's a bit unavoidable, bad idea especially with it being right before the room elevators.
I really like the poker and the poker rooms. very large and lots of tables would not let us take cooler to room and did not tell until we got there. Would not let us have a luggage cart to carry luggage to room, what is up with that
Food was great, place was clean and it felt safe The only thing I didn't like was that I requested a room with a view but didn't get one. Other than that my stay was awesome
The Jitney service is the only reliable thing left in Atlantic City. Golden Nugget still advertises having a heated outdoor swimming pool & hot tubs that are open year-round when in fact it has been closed down for the season. I ran into many groups of people that also booked rooms at the Golden Nugget expecting to use the advertised facilities only to be told after arrival that the pool deck has been shutdown. Shame on Golden Nugget for false advertising and misleading paying customers! Avoid this shady "resort" casino and stay elsewhere.
Nice room. Hot tubs could have been hotter.
Everything Everything
The Deck The room view Gym/Spa H2O Pool/Bar Could hear next room TV Pay for exercise room? (I understand paying for spa) Room could use some type of pull out table for eating Entire stay everyone was very polite except the valet lady running the parking.
Easy check in. Hotel was dirty! Our room smelled like someone smoked pot in it. The heater was very noisy made a loud clunk when it went on and off. It was worth maybe $100.00 a night not what they charge!! On the bright side it was the only hotel I read about that didnt have bed bugs, I looked it didnt. We wont be back
Modern, updated and nice view. Able to hear next door man and women arguing for about hour. Also hear taking morning shower and hallway traffic. (we have been in 3 other hotels this past week for comparison)
Staff was friendly and helpful. I asked for a room about noon and they got me into one right away. The room needed a refresh. The grout on tile in bathroom was bad. I lifted the toilet seat and immediately was greeted with a pubic hair. The little bit of comforter belt (fashion only, bot an actual comforter), and decorative pillows were dirty and stained. I suspect they are not often washed. The bedside lamps were sagging, their mounts were poor.
The hotel cancelled my reservation before I got there even though they assured me it would be there. And then wouldn't give my money back.
The Modern look of the rooms. House keeping could have done a better job of dusting and removing left over hairs in the bathroom by pass guests.
I loved everything especially the pool
The Hotel was very clean and spacious Did not like the casino security staff they was very disrespectful and I felt a lil racism, it was my fist time visiting Atlantic city and I would never stay there again
Staff was rude. Never again!

BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse
- Looking for the best way to define BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse? Combine sports bar, brew pub and a full menu, and what you get is a "high-energy, casual" dining restaurant.
- Of 122 BJ's Restaurants, 59 are located in California. The most recent opening in Orange County was in Rancho Santa Margarita last year.
- In 1996, the company was rebranded, taking its current name, BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse.
Claim to fame: BJ's Restaurant has adapted throughout the years from its opening in 1978 as a pizzeria called BJ's Chicago Pizzeria. The first name change came years later to BJ's Pizza and Grill, leading the way to the final change in 1996. Pizza has remained a signature, with deep-dish pizza brought to your table in a pan. BJ's offers vegetarian dishes, including a vegetarian pizza. Along with the pizza is a huge selection of award-winning, hand-crafted beers for the full sports-watching experience. Customers can also choose from a vast array of appetizers, such as Thai Shrimp Lettuce Wraps, Avocado Egg Rolls, Crispy Calamari and Pale Ale Nachos. The restaurant allows for the kids to take control of their own menus. Kids can create their own meals, picking from one entrée, side and a drink. There are TVs throughout the restaurants, so patrons can watch their favorite teams and sporting events. .
Did you know? Perfect for the post-game munchies is the dessert dish, Pizookie, a warm cookie (four different flavors to choose from) served in a pan and topped with two scoops of ice cream.

Jason Aldean to Play Lubbock's United Supermarkets Arena
Country superstar Jason Aldean is coming to Lubbock, Texas!
Country superstar Jason Aldean is coming to Lubbock, Texas!
Jason Aldean was named the Male Vocalist of the Year at the 2015 ACM Awards on Sunday (April 19), but that accomplishment pales in comparison to his excitement for life with his new wife, Brittany Kerr.
Next Tuesday (April 21) will mark one month since Jason Aldean and Brittany Kerr were married in Mexico.
A country fan wanted to get Jason Aldean's attention, so he threw a cup of beer at him.
Jason Aldean recently tied the knot with Brittany Kerr, which means the superstar is sporting a new wedding band to signify his commitment to his wife.
Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan have been close friends for years, but now Aldean says they "can't be friends anymore" due to an unfortunate promo shot that he dredged up from Bryan's poofy-haired past.
Jason Aldean may be one of the most fiery country music stars currently on the radio, but that would never stop him from teaming up with the veritable queen of pop!
It's been a week since Jason Aldean married Brittany Kerr and the couple is already talking babies. Before the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday night, Aldean revealed that they "definitely want to have kids."
After much speculation from fans and media about the whens and wheres of their impending nuptials, Jason Aldean and Brittany Kerr are officially newlyweds following a weekend ceremony in Mexico. Now, the "Burnin' It Down" singer is sharing the first wedding photo!
Jason Aldean and Brittany Kerr got married this weekend, six months after announcing their engagement.
Florida Georgia Line's Tyler Hubbard says the best advice he's ever gotten about how to balance a demanding career with a personal life came from two veterans of the country music industry.
Jason Aldean didn't want to be a country singer growing up. Sure, he picked around a little but his mind was focused on another great American hobby. Find out what he wanted to do and why he fell short, and find out who everyone thought he looked like during this episode of You Think You Know Country?

The wound is deep and still bleeds,
Within hatred and pain form stampeads.
Emotion is dulled by the constain pain,
life now swirls like water down the drain.
The healing is slow and still it bleeds,
Hate and agony have planted unwanted seeds.
Eyes which once saw light and raibows,
Now see darkness, blood and black crows.
Lips which once spoke of love and mercy,
Now go on a hate speaking frenzy.
A spirit which was once white without any stain,
Now is cosumed by darkness, hate and pain.

As a headteacher, one of the more perplexing new responsibilities that I have acquired over the past year or so has been that of promoting "Britishness". Having had about as much success at defining this nebulous concept as any politician who has publicly attempted to do so, I must confess that I had surreptitiously placed the responsibility to promote it to one side.
However, I was reminded by last week's series of articles in The Independent regarding the decaying state of Bletchley Park that I have never felt so proud to be British as when I visited this historic site some years ago. The Station X story tells of a group of people who understood it to be their duty to put personal or cultural differences aside in order to work collectively for the greater good; who each accepted without question that it was their responsibility to pool their talents in the service of justice and ultimately of the triumph of intelligence, ingenuity and dogged determination over barbarity and fanaticism. Surely this story has something fundamental to tell us about what is unique within the British character.
I therefore find it incredible that significant steps have not already been taken to secure Bletchley Park's future, and that a British government could have a moment's hesitation in taking steps to preserve it as a unique feature of our national heritage. I might venture that the Government would have been wiser to spend £10m on ensuring that future generations of school children would be able to learn about "Britishness"' through visiting Bletchley than the £35m that was paid to ETS Europe for managing this year's SATs.

Can Miliband be serious?
With New Labour in meltdown, it must comfort the Foreign Secretary to know that he has the prospect of a second career opening up before him. In the wake of the Russian invasion of Georgia and its recognition of South Ossetian and Abkhazian independence, David Miliband has displayed a previously hidden flair for stand-up comedy.
I just don't know how the man manages to keep a straight face when he condemns the Russians for "blatant aggression" and "19th-century forms of diplomacy" or when he insists that the British government has "respect for a sovereign independent country" like Georgia and wouldn't violate a nation's "territorial integrity".
Priceless stuff. Miliband will have them rolling in the aisles from Baghdad to Kabul and possibly Tehran too. He'll knock them dead.

A desire by America and Britain to fast-track Ukraine's Nato membership could have serious consequences for Kiev's fragile new coalition government.
After many months of political limbo and public wrangling, the former Orange Revolution allies, Tymoshenko and Yushchenko, formed a government earlier this year with a majority of just one seat in the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament. This, remember, is the same coalition that spectacularly collapsed in 2004 and that was unable to unite following the 2006 parliamentary elections.
The country is deeply polarised on regional grounds, with the Ukrainian-speaking population in central and western Ukraine supportive of greater Western integration while those in Eastern regions see themselves as more closely aligned to Russia. Pushing for Ukraine's Nato membership will not only further damage Western relations with Russia but threatens to stir up regional antagonisms within Ukraine and destabilise the already fragile alliances within the Tymoshenko government.
Stefan Simanowitz
London NW3 (The writer was a member of the OSCE election observer mission to Ukraine, 2006)
After 1945 Russia stole huge areas of Poland and Germany, not to mention several Japanese islands, and of course has never given any back. It would seem modern Russia is quite the same; two districts of Georgia are now part of the Russian Empire.
The European Union and Nato had better start preparing to defend their eastern borders, and those states not yet in Nato would be wise to join quickly.
We in the West were inclined to blame the Communists for the ghastly behaviour of the Russian army in eastern Europe, but it would seem to be a Russian trait rather than a Communist one. We must recognise that the Cold War is back, and it may be much warmer this time.

World hunger? Let them eat biofuel
It is all very well for Struan Stevenson MEP to call for GM to deal with food scarcity arising from population growth and climate change (letter, 23 August), yet he omits to mention biofuels as a major cause of the current food scarcity he describes.
GM has not been shown to improve the maximal yield of any crop, even if it can save on insecticides or tilling. In contrast, every unit of foodstuff converted into biofuel is one unit less to go round the poorest, and the cost can be huge in cross-subsidy, as well as high food prices for all.
With biofuel targets having been slammed by senior analysts in the OECD, World Bank, IMF, IFPRI and the EU's own scientific research centre, will he or other MEPs vote against such targets in a few weeks' time?
Jim Roland
London NW11
Struan Stevenson writes that "food security is now top of the political agenda" . The Soil Association certainly agrees with that . However, Stevenson goes on to say that GM is the only way out of this "looming crisis".
There is increasing evidence that organic production does have the potential to feed the world. A recent report from an international group of over 400 scientists, published by the UN (the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development) concludes that organic farming has real potential to help feed the world in an era of increasing oil prices and urgent need to cut greenhouse gases, because organic farming systems use the sun's energy and legumes to fix nitrogen in the soil, not oil and gas.
By contrast, the role of GM in feeding the world is much less clear. Over 20 published peer-reviewed studies show worse or no better yields for GM crops. In 2006, the pro-GM US Department of Agriculture observed that "currently available GM crops do not increase yield potential", a point already made by a report from the FAO in 2004 that acknowledged "GM crops can have reduced yields".

Bursary cash that students fail to claim
We read with deep concern the findings of the recent UUK report that there has been scant improvement in the numbers and type of students from non-traditional backgrounds applying to university, despite millions of pounds being spent on attempts to widen participation (report, 12 August).
The UUK findings corroborate what the report from the Office of Fair Access a few months ago also highlighted: that a significant percentage of students fail to claim bursary monies for which they are eligible.
This is a national disgrace, not least because channels exist by which this problem can be largely alleviated. The matter of charging university fees obscures the real issue of hardship among disadvantaged groups – something we at the Helena Kennedy Foundation know from a decade of working in this field. In 1998 we pioneered the establishment of a national bursary fund to tackle social injustice and assist social mobility by the provision of bursaries to students in need.
The key to success is identification of student need in the right place (in our case in our partner FE colleges), in the right way (through tutors who know individual student circumstances, culture and background) and at the right time (well before entrance to university). In this way, the issue of students not realising they were entitled to support can be dealt with.
Although last year we awarded over a hundred bursaries, we could have given out 10 times that number if we had had a fraction of the money that lies unclaimed in university coffers. We can help universities ensure that their unspent funds reach students in need.

Old enough to rule, but not to drink
Josie Appleton is to be commended for challenging officialdom's disapproval of young drinkers (Opinion, 27 August), but does not illustrate the full absurdity of raising the drinking age to 21.
It is indeed iniquitous that those who are adults in the eyes of the law and can buy a house cannot buy a can of lager. Yet the Government has reduced the age at which one can stand in an election and be an MP (and theoretically Prime Minister) from 21 to 18.
The spectacle of those with the power to legislate for the lives of others yet unable to use the bars at Westminster would be a fitting display of the confused priorities of New Labour.

Vision for a renewable future
For an environmental editor, Michael McCarthy seems to have a very pessimistic view of both the potential of renewable energy, and the attitude of the public (Opinion, 22 August). He appears to have joined those who maintain that our whole way of life is under threat, unless we continue to generate (and waste) power in the same way we have done for the past few hundred years.
I prefer Nick Clegg's vision. If we put the same amount of energy into developing renewable and decentralised energy sources, instead of persisting with massive centralised power stations, would our way of life not be enhanced rather than worsened? The only current contenders for centralised power are coal and nuclear, both of which have massive environmental issues and will bequeath our descendants some very nasty problems.
Let's have a real vision for a future of mostly renewables, not a vision of attempting to bury our toxic waste.

Taking over the torch from Beijing
There are concerns that London may find it difficult to follow the spectacular Olympic Games staged in Beijing. But Downing Street's attempt to stop London's tourist board from using Marcus Harvey's art to promote the capital suggests that the Government is learning quickly from China. Who knows what other lessons they will learn in the next four years?

Warning: label writers at work
John Evans's letter (26 August) provides the clearest evidence I have seen for my hypothesis that product label writers have for some years been gleefully pushing the envelope of absurdity. I did not believe that one on a push-chair said: "Warning: remove baby before folding the chair", until my son told me he had seen it in the USA.
Your correspondent last week saw their arrival as coinciding with no win, no fee litigation. I prefer to interpret them as a lively way of striking back at the stupidity of a population not trusted to assess risk at all. Long may they make us chortle.

World language
Eric Fitch says (Letters, 26 August) that it is high time that one international language was decided upon. I would argue the case for that much neglected planned language, Esperanto. I have just come back from an international holiday in Plouezec, Brittany, where the only language used was Esperanto. A hundred and fifty people from Britain, Germany, Russia and Poland all spent a week talking, singing, and learning together, using this delightful language. It really works, and deserves more than just grass-roots support.

Users of tools
It would be interesting to know when in history or prehistory those skilled in the use of tools, as we are told were the Neanderthals ("Why Neanderthal man may not have been as stupid as he looks", 26 August), were ever higher in the pecking order than those who are not. In our era, I am thinking of politicians, bankers, footballers, lawyers . . . even scientists.
