Two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett is in advanced negotiations to star in Richard Linklater's adaptation of "Where'd You Go, Bernadatte," TheWrap has learned.
The project is set up at Annapurna Pictures, whose Megan Ellison will produce with Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson of Color Force.
"Bernadette" follows an agoraphobic architect who disappears right before a family trip to Antarctica. Her teenage daughter narrates the story, which unfolds via emails, letters, FBI documents and correspondence with a psychiatrist.
"The Fault in Our Stars" screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber adapted Maria Semple's 2012 bestseller.

Blanchett also stars in a pair of upcoming Terrence Malick movies, and she's poised to play Lucille Ball in an upcoming movie that Aaron Sorkin is writing for Escape Artists. She's represented by CAA and RGM Artists.

Looking for the owners of this vintage Zenith radio
Do you know someone who use to own a radio like this:. Will Barnett purchased this radio for $7.00from an elderly gentleman who lived at 109 NELiberty Avenue in Gresham, Oregon. (Approximately 1989/1990) The elderlygentlemen told Will that he obtained the radiofrom a family of Japanese descent just beforethey were interned at camp during WWII. records show that no neighbors of Japanesedescent lived on Liberty Avenue in the early1940s. Could the Japanese family lived further away, or could the elderly gentlemen lived elsewhere in 1942? The search is on for the missing family whouse to own this Zenith radio. .

3 Ways to Hide Wrinkles in Plain Sight
1. Hide wrinkles with a bright smile.
Discolored, stained, or simply dull-looking teeth can add years to your smile–and your face. Invest in an over-the-counter tooth-whitening kit for a brighter smile, or see your dentist.
2. Hide wrinkles with a great haircut.
Now's the time for a flattering new style. Ask the stylist about color choices, too. If you've never had highlights, consider adding them; they give dimension to colored hair.
3. Hide wrinkles with new eyebrows.
The right eyebrow shape can change your face almost as radically as a face-lift. Make an appointment to have your brows waxed or plucked at a good local salon (ask your friends for a recommendation). Then return for touchups or buy a good pair of tweezers and follow the contours to maintain your new shape.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And about to get a whole lot healthier.

Classroom Hero: Teacher brings world of science to students
HUNTINGTON BEACH – Dominic Sammartano and Athena Ramirez lean over opposite ends of a 4-foot photo of soil pulled from the core of Lake McCarrons in Minnesota, pointing to alternating layers of dark and light dirt.
"What about a drought?" Ramirez says cautiously.
"Maybe a flash flood happened?" Sammartano replies, tapping a section of the sample where the soil shifts from clear layers to a uniform brown.
It's first period in John Wood's sixth-grade science class at Talbert Middle School, and the students have a tough task: figuring out how many years of sediment the sample represents and determining what happened to radically change the lake's structure more than 100 years ago.
Wood is a middle school teacher, but he's also a scientist. And he does everything he can – from teaching his students via Skype from a research facility in Alaska to pairing students with scientists to work on projects every year – to bring a world of science home to students in Huntington Beach.
In the day-to-day operation of his class, that means introducing students to real-life research projects – like the one conducted in 2000 by Dr. Amy Myrbo on the changes in Lake McCarrons – and putting them in the driver's seat.
Wood decided he wanted to be a scientist in the seventh grade, after picking up a book with a giant octopus on the cover and delving into the world of oceanography.
"It was amazing," Wood recalls four decades later. "I knew I needed to be in science."
After earning a bachelor's degree in biology from Chapman, Wood worked for a while at a laboratory making heart valves. Then, in 1978, he saw a job posting for a lab in Antarctica and packed his bags, heading to the coldest place in the world.
"It's the closest thing to being on another planet that most of us I think will experience," Wood said.
He worked as laboratory facilities manager for the U.S. Antarctic Program for nearly a decade, overseeing the research diving program and assisting on projects like the search for life inside of rocks, before his thoughts turned to teaching.
"Teaching came into my mind as a way to share and make connections," Wood says. "I thought at that point I knew enough about science and research that I felt like I had something to share."
But for Wood a second career never meant abandoning his first love: field research. Over the last seven years, with the help of an organization that pairs teachers and research scientists, Wood has researched volcanoes in Alaska and carbon cycling in the tundra of Antarctica.
On his first research trip with PolarTREC in 2007, he used new technology to bring his students with him. Wood worked with a substitute to teach the class via Skype, sharing his experiences with students.
His students became so engaged in the experiments by interacting with him in the field that he decided to push for more ways to bring real-time science experiments into the classroom.
Now he pairs students with scientists conducting field research every year.
Above his desk are two small banners. One reads, "Antarctica, the coldest, windiest, driest and highest place on earth." The other says, "California, a great place to live (and study geology.) Above them both in larger letters is a reminder to students: "Opportunity. Take it."
Wood rotates constantly among the classroom groups as they study the evidence before them, prodding students to think deeper and more critically about the project.
"Do you think this is what scientists do?" he asks the students as they survey the sample.
"Yes!" they reply in a chorus.
What they see in the soil sample is sort of like tree rings, with each layer of sediment and organic matter marking one year of the lake.
With the class organized into three different groups, the students pore over the core samples, first counting out the lines to determine how many years the sample represented (about 240) and when the changes occurred in the lake (in the mid 1800s.)
Why then are some of the lines thicker than others?
"I was thinking maybe it was a hotter summer or a colder summer," Lexi Perry, 12, said.
"Good," Wood says. "Conditions. What else? This lake was extremely uniform for 200 years and then something changed."
Once the students have thrown out enough ideas, Wood pulls the scientist's report up on the computer, and gives them the answer: In 1855, farmers started occupying the land on one side of the lake for dairy farming, raising pigs and farming the lake in the winter for ice.
For sixth-grader Nicole Field, projects like the one on Lake McCarrons are making science fun – for the first time ever.
"It's challenging," she says. "I like how he teaches. He shows more examples than any of my other teachers."
Just wait until the end of the year, when she gets to pick a scientist to correspond with, former students say.
"The work goes beyond what we are learning in the classroom," eighth-grader Michael Piepmeyer said of getting to interact with the scientists on a project the previous year. "It made what we are studying more meaningful."

Police seek 4 home invasion robbers
LAGUNA BEACH – Police are looking for four armed men who robbed a mobile home and assaulted its three occupants Saturday night.
Laguna Beach police responded to the home invasion at Laguna Terrace mobile home park at 30802 Pacific Coast Highway around 10:36 p.m. According to the home's residents, the robbers armed with handguns entered through an unlocked sliding glass door, said Capt. Jason Kravetz in an email. The robbers ordered two men who were watching TV, as well as a third man who had been asleep in a bedroom, to lie face down on the living room floor, Kravetz said.
The 52-year-old and 72-year-old residents of the home were injured after being hit in the head with a handgun. Paramedics treated the two at the scene, and the 72-year-old was taken to the hospital. The third victim, a houseguest, was uninjured.
The robbers ransacked one of the bedrooms, but police did not disclose what they took or the value of the stolen items. Laguna Beach detectives and the Orange County Crime Lab responded to process evidence, and the investigation is ongoing, Kravetz said.
The four men wore dark clothing and concealed their faces, Kravetz said. One of the four was described as a thin African American man in his early 20s, possibly wearing a mask over the lower half of his face.
Police are asking that anyone who saw something unusual Saturday evening contact the investigations division at 949-497-0377.

Identify Unhealthy Household Cleaners
Just as important as seeking out healthy cleaning products is avoiding unhealthy ones, those that are highly toxic to the environment, human health, or both.
The nonprofit organization Green Seal and the Washington Toxics Coalition, together with
nontoxic cleaning manufacturer Seventh Generation, says to watch out for the following:
Corrosives. Avoid products labeled "Danger. Corrosive." Corrosives include some of the most dangerous chemicals in the home, such as lye, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid — the active agents in many drain cleaners, oven cleaners, and toilet cleaners. These chemicals can burn the skin, cause internal burns if ingested, and explode if used incorrectly.
Ammonia. Many home recipes and commercial products contain ammonia, but it is a strong eye and lung irritant and should particularly be avoided by anyone with asthma or other lung sensitivities.
Bleach. For the reasons noted elsewhere, but primarily for its toxic fumes.
Phosphates. Phosphates are naturally occurring minerals used in automatic dishwashing detergents as a water softener. When released back into the environment, phosphates can cause algae blooms in lakes and ponds that kill aquatic life. Look for phosphate-free dishwashing detergents, try a homemade recipe of half borax and half washing soda (a more alkaline form of baking soda), or skip the dishwasher and use a dishpan and regular dish soap instead.
Petroleum products. Many surfactants (cleaning agents) are refined petroleum products that are linked with health problems and require environmentally harsh methods to extract and distill. A few specific ones to avoid: diethylene glycol, nonylphenol ethoxylate, and butyl cellosolve.
Don't believe us about the toxicity of many commercial cleaners? Check the Household Products Database — part of the Specialized Information Services of the National Library of Medicine — a vast compendium of common household products that includes the potential health effects. Just go to http://hpd.nlm.nih.gov and click on the category of the product you're interested in.

Microsoft Word plugin
- Status Closed
- Budget $300 - $1500 USD
- Total Bids 17
Project Description
I am looking for a Microsoft Word plugin that is able to do the following:
1. The plugin should work with Microsoft Word from version 2000 onwards.
2. The plugin should create a new toolbar or menu in Microsoft Word with an "Active/Inactive" toggle and an "Insert code" button.
3. When the plugin is active, all text in the curent document that appears between a pair of "@" delimiters should be replaced by a button, hyperlink or similar marker that could, e.g., be called "Code". For example, the text "@ print 'Hello, world!' @" should be replaced by a marker. A click on the marker should open a new window in which the text between the two delimiters (i.e., "print 'Hello, world!'") should be displayed in Courier New without any formatting. The code delimiters (i.e., "@ ... @") should not be displayed. When the user closes the window, the text should be saved.
4. A click on the "Insert code" button on the toolbar should insert a new marker at the current cursor position.
5. It should be possible to save the document in RTF format for further processing (just like any other document).
6. The application should come with a Windows installer.
Use of the GAF escrow feature must be acceptable. The only circumstance in which I am willing to make a downpayment is if you are willing to do a demo first. GAF references proving my payment morale are available upon request.
Thank you.

text: Posted January 8, 2013 · Report post I have Nfl replay and I was watching some flim of the last playoff game, and here is what I found out about the game. [b]Defense[/b]: played pretty well even though they gave up some yards. In the first half the Colts didn't do much until the final minutes of the half. We got consistent pressure all game, but the colts game plan was pretty good. They had hot reads for our blitz's in which one receiver would run right in front of another receiver and essentially block for his teammate before he even caught the ball{which should be a flag}. The Colts ran about as much receivers screens and tight end screens as you can in one game. The reason they ran so much screens was because our Db's played a mile back half of the time. The colts have some speed receivers, and it was obvious that the ravens game plan was not to get beat deep. So the colts screened the ravens to death. The Colts didn't do much on the outside to be honest. They worked the middle of the field a lot, and Andrew Luck made a bunch of plays with his mobility. Luck also got hit a bunch of times as well, and it actually makes me feel good about playing the broncos next week. Peyton has nowhere near the mobility of luck, and luck got some first downs with his feet. We all know Peyton would not attempt to do that as much as Luck did. Ray Ray played good as usual against the run, but against the pass the colts where throwing over his head a bit. He was still solid, but even Ray has to play better next week against the Broncos vs the pass. Oh yea Paul was a beast too. [b]Offense[/b]: Starting with the Qb, I think Joe played a really good game. In the first half their was literally nobody open. The colts were on the receivers really tight, and got a little pressure as well. If any receivers were open Joe would hit them. Like Joe would normally do he hit some perfect passes, but at other times he put a little air under the ball. One I know he wants back is a pass to Torrey Smith where he threw a deep in route where Joe threw it high, but if he threw it in stride it would have been a TD. Torrey still caught it, but it could have been a bigger play. I'm just knit pickin but overall Joe played really well. Running game is a real strength with this team, especially since Pierce has stepped up. I was wondering who he was when we drafted him and even questioned it, but after watching him play i'm sold hes a beast. My conclusion with this game is that it could've been a bigger blowout. If the Ravens didn't drop so many Ints, Ray dropped one, Ed dropped another,and Kruger got hit in the hands with another. Against the Broncos next week we won't be as lucky if don't make those plays. The Broncos receivers have nowhere near the speed of the Colts wide outs and Peyton has nowhere near the mobility of Luck, but still its Peyton Manning. I feel our offense will play much better this time around, and we can win this game even though its in Denver. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About "Age of a tree" by kooky love
Age of a tree
Design by kooky love
I like it but it is a little confusing whether that is a flower or the sun. If it is a flower, that's not an orange tree flower. I like your use of gradation.
really good idea!
Clever $4
nice kooky! you know its $5
The timeline is correct. It points to the first ring. $5
Oh, you're right! I was going to complain about that too... but the timeline is correct. Nicely done though (although I think you should change the flower, I thought it was a sun at first glance)
great colors and concept $5
Eh, I don't like it.
Smart 5$! i like it too! :)
It's wonderful - good job!
The timeline isn't correct. Rings only indicate a seasonal change - not a point in the tree's life. You can count the rings to count the years, though. Does that make sense?
The seedling should be in the centre, the axe at the very edge.
P.S. Design purity is everything.
Thanks everyone!
Oh yeah, I really like the halftones here and the concept...well done! $5
Love it.
definitely GREAT idea! welldone, kookylove!
Thanks guys !
pretty nice man! I'm not so sure on the yellow/green gradients, but it's a solid concept. 4zees.
Fuckin brilliant and original kooky!
nice $5 love that stump
Very cool! Nice design.
This might be one of my favorite ideas i've ever seen on Threadless. So well done and of course a 5$.
Holy crap, I've rarely voted on so many outstanding designs like I have tonight...even the ameuter crappy ones have some zing to em!
nice work!
Thanks guys.
I will fix the seedling shoot and chain saw timeline place.
I thought it was going to be higher.... but still good!

By Carlo Wolff
Koren Zailckas had her first drink at 14, was continuously hammered by 16, had a sexual misadventure at 19, and sobered up two years ago. She's 24.
Her memoir, one of the more garish entries in the burgeoning modern youth confessional, might give you a hangover. It also suggests that now that Zailckas has purged herself of her all-too-lurid and remarkably packed past, she might well write good fiction.
Considering how she squandered her memory, she has an eye for detail – and statistics – to justify her cautionary tale.
"In the past decade alone," she writes in the preface, "girls have closed the gender gap in terms of drinking. I wrote this book because girls are drinking as much, and as early, as boys for the first time in history – a 2001 study showed 40 percent of college girls binge drink."
Among the no-nos Zailckas describes in Technicolor: Syracuse University, where you might not want your kid to go unless he or she hooks up with an inspiring teacher; sororities and fraternities; alcohol advertising, which Zailckas claims undermines every effort to gain emotional strength, particularly in women; and a society that treats alcohol as far less harmful than illegal drugs.
Writing "Smashed" was clearly therapeutic for Zailckas, who quit booze without Alcoholics Anonymous. That she found a good man may have helped, but her will and pride were paramount. God knows she went through self-imposed hell before she saw her way clear.
"It is my first blackout," she writes after waking up in a hospital, her hair matted and arms bruised, her co-dependent friends eager to clarify what happened.
"I will never again experience one so comprehensive – I passed out on the dock in a puddle of my own vomit. I imagine it was mostly liquor because my dad told the doctor I didn't eat dinner that night. Before that, I pulled my shirt up over my shoulders to show my bra to someone's brother because, knowing I was slipping into oblivion, he'd asked me what color it was."
The picture doesn't get prettier.
Relive the '80s and '90s as Zailckas bluffs her talented, loner way through grade school and high school, her parents concerned but also enabling (to be precise, her mother is shaming, her father indulgent).
In her acknowledgments, she thanks them for sticking with her. But in the book, they treat her abuse by socializing it: When she and a friend get hammered – and discovered – her parents don't give her the expected lecture; rather, they order her a beer.
Relive the last five years, all vivid and gray, as Zailckas attends Syracuse, where it snows so much there are no snow days. If campus life is claustrophobic, particularly at Zeta Alpha Sigma, spring break is no better:
"While the girls I came with still manage to get afflicted, I just get a headache. I keep thinking that if I were drunk, perhaps I would feel as insulted by the lewd promotions going on at every beach and in every bar: people flashing their private parts and tonguing shots off one another's necks; men nibbling cupcakes off girls' laps to win bottles of liquor; girls sucking suggestively on frozen bananas for the sake of free T-shirts."
Join Zailckas in her anger at ad campaigns that demean women (she singles out Svedka Vodka and Wet gin by Beefeater, but doesn't blast those jiggly twins from a Coors beer campaign). Join her in her pride and her perception that "alcohol is a man who has courted us all."
Other kinds of love are on her plate these days, including self-love. Reading "Smashed" isn't fun, but its blend of the purgative and the cautionary is heartening.

John 14:16-26New King James Version (NKJV)
16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
Indwelling of the Father and the Son
19 "A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?"
23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.
The Gift of His Peace
25 "These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

As Arkansas and other states recover from recent tornadoes, and even more areas brace for severe weather this week, the American Red Cross is ready to support tornado preparation and recovery efforts. This effort includes a collection of resources and actionable tips in the Red Cross tornado app.
Individuals directly impacted by severe weather and tornadoes can let friends and family know they are safe through the app with the customizable "I'm Safe" notification, sharable through social media, text and email. The app also includes a Red Cross location-based open shelters map for when you need it most.
LIFESAVING INFORMATION The first tab in the app captures familiar Red Cross disaster information. Prepare, during and recovery checklists are packed into each section for easy referral, and if needed, quick action.
Last year, Mike Bettes of The Weather Channel® found one tip in the "if you're caught outdoors" section a lifesaver. He was with his team in Oklahoma when his vehicle was lifted up and flipped by a tornado. As described in the Red Cross myth vs. fact slideshow, you shouldn't exit your vehicle if strong winds or debris occur while you are driving. Instead, you should pull over and park, keep your seat belt on and the engine running, put your head below the windows and cover your head with a blanket if available.
Other situation specific information includes preparing for and knowing what to do if the power goes out, preparing for evacuation and mobile home and RV information.
USEFUL FEATURES The emergency tools tab helps create a customized plan for your family, including designating tasks for each family member, determining meeting points outside the home and outside the neighborhood, and listing out of town contacts. You can also add pet friendly hotels and other important contacts, so your entire family emergency plan is recorded and always with you. Other app features include:
TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE Interactive quizzes allow you to earn badges that you can share with your friends and show off your tornado knowledge. It's easy to read the prepare information, but quizzes in the app can help you remember key facts.
For instance, one quiz asks you to select the actions that will help prepare you for an upcoming tornado season. Between "make and practice a plan for your household" and "put together an emergency preparedness kit," be careful not to click "buy ruby slippers." You can also drag a number slide to guess the correct number of days you should have a supply of water on hand, per person, as part of your preparedness kit. (It's three days)
From your mobile phone, call "**REDCROSS" (**73327677) and we will send you a link to download the app to your phone or you can download them directly from the iTunes or Google Play app stores.

I've caught the following NullPointerException:
So what is happening? It appeared that AggregatedValidity.m_list array list held null element. The null element was added to m_list in ValidationResolver. resolveSource method:
/* Record the current source in the validities to return */
The javadoc for Source.getValidity() says:
Get the Validity object. This can either wrap the last modification date or some expiry information or anything else describing this object's validity.
If it is currently not possible to calculate such an information, null is returned.
The fact is that my Source is being loaded from XML DB by custom generator and it seems to be correct that validity is null. I suppose it's a bug and it can be fixed in the following way:
/* Record the current source in the validities to return */
If (source.getValidity() != null) this.sourceValidity.add(source.getValidity());
This worked for me. I suggest this as an official commit.
Best regards,

Country Store Checkerboard Set
Nothing Brings People Together Like an Old-Fashioned Game Of Checkers
Country Store Checkerboard Set
Nothing Brings People Together Like an Old-Fashioned Game Of Checkers
No country store would be complete without a checkerboard set up for impromptu matches. When our first store opened in 1946, our grandfather, Vrest Orton, made sure one was readily available for regulars and visitors, alike. We even have a picture to prove it...a makeshift table (the base looks like a cracker barrel to us) set up next to the potbelly stove. It was quite the coveted spot! Ours is crafted in Vermont from durable 1/2" thick birch plywood, so it can truly take on all comers—from the player who robustly crowns each king, to the one who flips the board up in disgust after losing yet again.
- Everything needed to play checkers—anytime, anywhere
- Board made from birch plywood
- Built-in handles hold checkers when playing
- Includes 24 red and black wooden checkers
- 91/2"Lx131/4"W
- Ages 8 and up
- Made in Vermont
Country Store Checkerboard Set
Recommended for children 8 years and older. Choking hazard, not for children 3 years and under.
Board: Birch plywood, Checkers: wood with nylon bag.
Manufactured In: USA/China

The beach was nice.
Great facilities, beautiful setting, lots of fun activities available. The food was absolutely terrible, both at the buffets and the a la carte restaurants. Most of the time the food seemed to be extremely dry, as if the food was pre-cooked and were sat under heating lamps for hours. The staff also seemed to be generally miserable, sometimes unhelpful and unfriendly. We were also left without toilet paper for an entire day, after the cleaner neglected to restock the bathroom. A lot of our calls to concierge also went unanswered or were redirected elsewhere to no avail. Also the lack of changing stations in the bathrooms throughout the resort is quite an inconvenience. We are a young couple with a nine month old infant, and having to go back to our room to change the baby is quite a task, as there is a lot of walking from the restaurants back to the rooms in the family section of the resort.
ovation horrible internet service would not return there because of it a lot of good with no taste
If I have only one critic it will be for the casino staff,only place in the resort where for some reason the staff absolutely not friendly,
everything is nearby . local is new. room service is not good . and towels too old. 0ne day they only give our one towels for 4 peoples.
Upon arrival, the staff was helpful, polite and always willing to help. Our room was very clean and maintained every day. We had a jacuzzi on our balcony with a great view of the beach. Food was good, a little repetitive , but you can always find something that you liked. Overall an amazing stay... We were able to use the pool at the Bavaro Beach side but they would not serve us any drinks or let eat at the buffet.
Very nice seashore, palms, very calm waters in the area where the hotel is. Good food in restaurants. Although we've booked the room through booking.com 2.5 months in advance, when we came to the hotel, they did not have our reservation and tried to downgrade us to a cheaper room than what we booked. It took 2 hours and required to talk to hotel manager twice before they actually let us checkin into the room we booked.
We like the facilities for little kids. Family friendly, you have to walk (but we do not mind) they have 2 trolleys that pass every 6mnts. the personal is nice, it could be nicer the one in reception but they are ok. They help me to prepare the Happy birthday of my grandmother with music and the cake, that was the extra mile :) The personal is nice, it could be nicer the one in the front desk but they are ok. I know that the hotel was full, but every customer is important. Beside the monologues of yes and no (with any additional information) everything was nice.
The pool is huge and never full of people. The beach is also clean and clear water and there are always available lounge chairs to use.
The entertainment staff. Hotel Employee was amazing! The food was not all that great, very mediocre
They do not care about health conditions They would not let me into their restaurants because i had an injured foot and could not wear shoesI had to unwrap my wound to prove them i was really injured And that wasnt even enough i had to go thru paperwork process for two hours to go in
It's a beautiful location and well maintained, everything that you need. Smoking areas. It seams that most parts of the world do not aloud you to smoke in public areas. And here you are, want to enjoy your meal outside by the beautiful ocean and person next to you smoking. Or swimming in the pool and person smoking there.
Our honey moon free upgrade to junior suite and the t shirts, champagne, and free continental break fast. They did forget our chocolates and the train takes for ever to get to the resort. Also the buffet food wasn't that great and had times where we were left hungry.
the staff was very friendly and helpfull. we had a lot of activities never a dull moment. no
Well kept grounds The service was horrible.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Great location, excellent food and service room cleanliness was average.
Pretty much everything. Pool and beach were great. Bars were great. Resort was very clean. Most of the staff were very nice and friendly. The buffet food wasn't that great. It was just ok. Fruit and vegetables were good at the buffets but the meat wasnt very good. A lot of French people there. They were kind of loud and rude to other vacationers and staff.
The pool area was beautiful. The gym was large and well-equipped. The beach was beautiful and well kept. Chef was the best restaurant on the property. Making dinner reservations was a headache. Room faced the pool and entertainment area and was so loud until almost midnight. The wifi was very spotty. Food was mediocre at best, even at the a la carte restaurants. Rooms and bathroom were not nice.

Spurs star desperate to claim victory against 'dark horses' France
11:42 11 June 2012
PA Wire/Press Association Images
Jermain Defoe wants England to enjoy victory over Les Bleus
Tottenham star Jermain Defoe is desperate for England to make a winning start at Euro 2012 when they face France in Donetsk tonight.
The Three Lions have never won an opening game at a European Championship and the Spurs striker knows that they face a difficult task against Laurent Blanc's side.
"It's going to be a tough game. France are a great footballing nation, they've got great players. But I don't think it's a bad thing playing such a tough team in our first game," Jermain told Spurs TV.
"I think if you win a difficult game like that, it brings confidence to the camp going into the next game.
"Of late France haven't done too well at tournaments, but I think they are dark horses at Euro 2012.
"It's important at a tournament to get off to good start. I think that if we can do that, it will help hugely with the following matches."

The Oakley Enduro OO9223-20 is a comfortably lightweight O Matter® frame with a vintage look courtesy of its smooth, rounded curves, metal accents and carved lines. It salutes the influencers who didn't need a road to tell them where to go. The sculptural lines on the earstems pay tribute to racing stripes and features metal lifestyle emblems to respect the clean, uncomplicated look the sport pros take with them on the road. The design heritage of Enduro honors the legacy of legends from an era that changed everything, but it's not just a retro look: Oakley refined the styling for those who would rather lead the way than follow the pack. That's why snowboarding superstar Shaun White is proud to have it in his namesake collection. With this addition to the Shaun White Collection, you get Oakley Enduro that features the clarity and impact resistance of High Definition Optics® (HDO®) along with the protection of 100% UV filtering. High Definition Optics® (HDO®) is a collection of patented technologies that allow Oakley eyewear to meet or exceed the testing standards of the American National Standards Institute for optical clarity, visual fidelity, and impact resistance.

Twitter Brings forward stock market listing
Published on: 30th Sep 2013
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
Twitter is expected to accelerate its plans for a stock market listing and could publish it public documents later this week.
The publication of the S-1 filing with the stock exchange had not been expected until November, but is reported to be ready right now.
The document was initially filed in private as is permitted for companies with an annual turnover of less than USD1 billion, but will now be made public, and will reveal for the first time how much money Twitter makes, or loses.
Analysts will be sure to compare Twitter with Facebook in terms of its ability to generate revenues from mobile phone users, which Twitter was once said to have a strong lead over Facebook.
The release of the S-1 filing comes sooner than expected as when Twitter announced that it had made the filing, most people presumed that meant it had just submitted the document. It is now being suggested that the document had been submitted back in July, and was only making the issue public to test investor reaction.
Twitter is expected to be valued at between $15 billion and $16 billion when the shares are listed -- which could now take place in early November.

Making a triumphant return after a seven-year hiatus, the Singapore Motorshow was held at the Suntec City Convention and Exhibition Centre in early January. The show was the motoring event of the year in Singapore, as automotive enthusiasts got up close and personal with world-class concept cars and witnessed exciting new auto launches featuring more than 20 car brands, 150 display cars and attracting over 52,000 visitors.
Pico worked alongside event organisers the Motor Traders Association (MTA) and MediaCorp to provide a wide variety of services to several clients at the show. We provided no less than nine unique and awe-inspiring designs for the show for Toyota, Lexus, Suzuki, Honda, Audi, Changan, Jac, Hyundai, Nissan, Subaru, Stamford Tyre, H Tyre, Jaguar and Land Rover. We also provided organiser package booths for the three exclusive brands -Mazda, Alfa Romeo and Isuzu.
As the official contractor appointed by MTA, we delivered on all their requirements for ticketing counters, directional signage, banners, shell schemes and the rigging of pelmets and lighting on a very tight timeline – over 200 rigging points were set up within 15 hours.
Our team also delivered a 600 sq. m. exhibition space for Jaguar and Land Rover, creating and promoting awareness of the company's enduring and its prestigious premier brands. . The look and feel of the exhibition booth was of the highest quality, with a 'hanging tower' design giving a majestic feel to the whole space.
Tan Chong Motors, who represent the renowned and dependable Japanese brands Nissan and Subaru in Singapore, had a set-up of 1,240 sq. m. exhibition space. Designing and creating the space according to their brand and corporate guidelines, our team aimed to generate and optimise sales at the show. Our teams made sure to highlight the differences between the brands while striving to keep an even balance at all times, ensuring that one did not overshadow the other.
For Borneo Motors 1,200 sq. m. booth, we created great exposure and heightened awareness for the three global giants, and they represent Lexus, Toyota and Suzuki. Each brand had to be differentiated from the others, yet at the same time integrated into wider exhibition space. Pico delivered a winning outcome by focusing on unique layouts for each brand but delivering a unified look and feel for the whole space.
For Lexus, a brand synonymous with prestige around the world, we built on the positioning of the brand, creating a classy and luxurious feel for their space. For the youthful Toyota brand, we created an engaging 'wakudoki' space which means joy, happiness and excitement for photo opportunity feature. Finally, the energetic Suzuki brand portrayed its fun, sporty and affordability through an open concept feel.
Cleverly implementing a common shared area for all three brands, we created a single meeting and bar area in the centre of exhibition space, as well as an entertainment corner featuring games, driving stimulators and interactive displays to engage the visitors.
Overall, all our clients were extremely pleased with the outcome of the show with the excellent experiences they enjoyed at all levels with Pico.
"Thanks for the hard work in producing many of our requirements at short notice, also for the energy spent running around to coordinate and ensure everything proceeded smoothly. Your good cheer and willingness; in sometimes chaotic conditions, was reassuring. I hope there will be opportunities for us to work together in future editions of the Singapore Motorshow." - Mr Benard Thio, Motor Traders Association of Singapore

Clinton Presidency Could Resettle Hundreds of Thousands of Muslim Migrants to U.S.Written by Raven Clabough
Department of Homeland Security information reveals that Hillary Clinton could permanently resettle to America over half a million Muslim migrants during her first term of presidency if elected.
The number of Syrian refugees being processed for entry into the United States has accelerated in recent months, increasing the likelihood that the Obama administration will meet its goal of processing 10,000 such refugees by the end of the fiscal year in September.
The Obama administration's immigration policies continue to be the subject of controversy, as documents reveal that it is not only illegal immigrants that have been able to circumvent immigration requirements, but legal ones as well. What's worse, changes to the process were made without congressional approval or intervention.
Elite vs. the Street: More Americans Favor Trump's Temporary Muslim Immigration BanWritten by Selwyn Duke
It's now clear that Donald Trump's proposed moratorium on Muslim immigration is a mainstream idea in the United States, with polls showing that Americans have come to favor such a temporary ban.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) was able to obtain Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) records under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request indicating that ICE's previous reports on the number of criminal offenses committed by illegal aliens it had released from custody had underreported the numbers — by over nine fold.
VIDEO - To encourage "safer" encounters between border agents and illegal immigrants, CBP has issued a new award to strive towards titled the "Use of Deadly Force Encounter Averted" award. It is an award which congratulates border agents who have disarmed suspects through verbal commands instead of needing to use force.
Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) described President Obama as a "dictator" because of his policies of resettling illegal immigrants in states that do not want them, instead of apprehending them at the border and deporting them.

Fest food choice were varied
MORGAN CITY, La. — With 32 food vendors registered for the Louisiana Shrimp & Petroleum Festival, the food selections seemed to be nearly endless from traditional fair food such as pizza and hamburgers to spinach and crawfish boats.
Christoper Louviere was working at the Bon Creole Seafood of New Iberia booth Saturday.
Bon Creole Seafood is owned by Louviere's grandfather, Randy Montegut.
"We were supposed to have a fan, but we couldn't find it," Louviere said.
Nevertheless, food sales were as hot as the air temperature even under the U.S. 90 bridge Saturday.
Louviere was selling shrimp and crawfish poboys, crawfish etouffee, and crawfish and spinach boats.
The crowd seemed to prefer the crawfish and spinach boats, he said.
"Everybody seems to like those," he said. "We are the only ones selling them."
Vendors Gary and Tanya Lee of Belle Chasse said they were enjoying the festival's crowd.
Gary Lee, who said he is retired from the New Orleans police force after 29 years, said, "We like the family festival." And added, "These people are very considerate."
Jonathan Messer of Thibodaux was attending the Shrimp & Petroleum Festival for the first time.
"We are coming out to enjoy the afternoon with a family outing," Messer said. "It is a nice set up underneath the bridge."
Willie Garrett of Morgan City said he is a veteran festival-goer. As he ate a gator basket — "delicious" — he said he enjoys the food, taking his children to the rides and listening to the bands.

This tells the servlet container to ensure that only one request at a time in any one servlet instance -- essentially the call to the service() method becomes synchronized. To keep performance from totally suffering when you do this, the servlet container has the *option* to create a pool of instances for you -- which means that the maximum number of requests you can process simultaneously is limited to the configured maximum number if instances in this pool. Tomcat does *not* support this capability -- effectively the pool size is one. Further, IMHO, using SingleThreadModel is a very bad idea. People like it because it lets them use instance variables to store per-request state information, instead of using local variables and passing arguments around (like they should :-). However, SingleThreadModel only gives you the illusion of thread safety -- you're still going to have to deal with simultaneous requests if you are using static variables, or if you are using sessions. Why artificially cripple your servlet's performance, and get yourself in trouble? You are far better off *not* implementing SingleThreadModel. Then, the only limit on how many simultaneous requests you can support is the maximum number of threads in your container, with no artificial limits imposed at the individual servlet level. > > Thanks > > Jay Craig McClanahan

text: 346 FXUS63 KAPX 240448 AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 1148 PM EST Thu Feb 23 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 1043 PM EST Thu Feb 23 2017 ...Wintry mess on the way... Overview: Potent surface low is located over the Oklahoma/Kansas border this evening, ahead of a low amplitude short wave over Nebraska and strong upper jet core punching across the SW states into the lower Mississippi River Valley. Tight thermal gradient is unfolding from the central plains into lower Michigan with axis of warm advection and deformation forced precip stretching along that gradient from lower Michigan into Nebraska, eastern edge just getting into northern lower Michigan in the last few hours. Precip runs the gamut from snow north to rain south along the precip shield with mainly snow reported in the SW counties (MBL/CAD) thus far. Rest of tonight through Friday morning...surface low will advance to near chicago by midday Friday pushing tight thermal gradient and axis of precip up through northern lower Michigan. Precip type remains the biggest forecast headache. Most recent operational and blended model guidance has trended maybe just a tad colder in thermal profiles across this CWA through Friday morning, suggesting a bit longer period of snow for areas north of M-72. Always a tough call when dealing with such a tight thermal gradient. But given the surface low track through southern lower Michigan, a bit longer period of snow and higher snow accumulations may be the way to go, again particularly for areas north of M-72. Warm nose and a wintry mix (sleet/freezing to rain) of precip will eventually get into northern Michigan late overnight and heading through the day Friday. One item of note...12Z Hires ARW east paints a narrow swath of three quarter of an inch QPF across northern lower Michigan through Friday morning (mesoscale banded precip perhaps?). If true, parts of northern lower Michigan north of M-72 could end up with with much more than the 2-4 inches we have in the forecast. && .NEAR TERM...(Tonight and Friday) Issued at 350 PM EST Thu Feb 23 2017 High impact weather potential: Accumulating snow and freezing rain. Possible thunderstorms. Pattern synopsis and forecast: Sfc low pressure was deepening in the central plains this afternoon, out ahead of broad upper troughing across the western conus. Nice potent vorticity maximum and DPVA is working with strong warm advection and upper divergence in left exit region 120+ knot jet to produce the beginnings of a solid winter storm for the nrn plains and Great Lakes, as well as, a potential severe weather threat for areas downstate and in the Ohio river valley. Across our neck of the woods, low level moisture remains stuck under an inversion, and thus clouds were quite stubborn to erode in most areas. Mid and upper level clouds out ahead of the developing low in the plains was rapidly advancing toward us, so for those that have seen clearing this afternoon, it will not last long. Heading into tonight, those mid and upper level clouds will thicken and bring back cloudy skies everywhere. The main impact will be with the approach of the low pressure, which will work into SW lower Michigan by Friday afternoon. There remains a decent amount of uncertainty, still, in how things will evolve, particularly precipitation type. That said, moisture will deepen and lift northeast through the night, north of an elevated warm front that will eventually lay out near the SE CWA. The aforementioned forcing starts moving in close to midnight but really settles in late tonight and into Friday. Some additional FGEN mesoscale banding is possible across the far NW CWA of western Chip/Mack counties late in the afternoon as the systems parent shortwave tries to phase with another shortwave dropping south out of Manitoba. The way this system is now playing out, is for warm advection snows to start breaking out around/after midnight across areas south of M-32, before spreading up into eastern upper Friday. The warm conveyor belt and elevated warm nose wraps in across much of nrn Michigan and rain develops across NE lower, while freezing rain is more dominant across NW lower and much of eastern upper. Am only going with general light amounts of snow through Friday with an inch or less across the SE CWA, to as much as 2-3 inches in far NW lower and eastern upper. Have opted to not go with too much snow since the system is not exactly working with real deep moisture, plus fcst soundings really show periods of drizzle (little QPF). Finally, the air mass is quite unstable above 850mb, leading to the potential for convection which could provide for heavier bursts of snows/rain (which could offset periods of drizzle/little QPF). Factor in strengthening easterly winds, and we got a pretty good little winter storm. Ice accumulations are not expected across a good chunk of the SE CWA where it`ll be too warm. However they do look potentially impressive further west across NW lower and eastern upper, with a tenth to two tenths of an inch ice. This would be quite treacherous for driving, but hopefully the intial snow will offset the impacts of ice. && .SHORT TERM...(Friday night and Sunday) Issued at 350 PM EST Thu Feb 23 2017 ...Wintry weather this weekend... High impact weather potential: Wintry mix continues Friday night, primarily across the Tip of the Mitt/Eastern Upper. Lake effect snow returns Saturday...diminishing Saturday evening. Pattern Forecast: By Friday evening, well-defined cutoff upper-level low is progged to be spinning across the mid-Mississippi Valley. Upper levels gradually become negatively tilted by Saturday morning along with corresponding surface low pressure deepening as it crosses through central Lower Michigan. This will ultimately drag a cold front across the region Friday night, reinvigorating cold air aloft and lake effect snow chances during the day Saturday. Upper-level flow turns more zonal Saturday night with a weak disturbance bringing additional snow shower chances to the area on Sunday. Primary Forecast Concerns: Primary forecast concerns and challenges revolve around lingering wintry mix Friday night prior to post cold frontal surge of cooler air allowing for lake process to get underway along with p-type becoming all snow. As was mentioned by the prior shift, the overall low-level thermal regime stays fairly stagnant Friday evening, perhaps even rising a degree or two, before the front pushes through and CAA takes over by Saturday morning. Fully expect a messy wintry mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain/rain to continue Friday night, especially across the higher terrain north of M-72, Tip of the Mitt, and into eastern Upper where the coldest thermal profiles are expected to continue. With a cool low-level northeasterly wind and based on forecast model soundings, the threat may take shape more as freezing drizzle, rather than a pure freezing rain or snow threat, as dry slotting continues to work its way overhead and deep layer moisture scours out...leaving saturation confined to sub-875 mb. An additional 0.05-0.15 inches of ice isn`t out of the question for those in the higher terrain north of M-32/ Tip of the Mitt Friday evening. Much colder air continues to spill into northern Michigan from west to east Saturday morning as winds shift northwesterly. H8 temps progged to vary from -13 to -16 C by mid-late Saturday morning across northwest Lower/eastern Upper...thus activating lake effect snow processes. Subsidence inversion heights lying steady throughout much of the day in the 5-6 kft range aren`t necessarily something to write home about, but nothing to scoff at either. Early indications suggest 1-3 inches (perhaps locally higher) of snow in WNW/NW flow targeted lake belts during the day Saturday before any lingering synoptic moisture/support departs off to the east, and low-level ridging impedes on the area from the south Saturday evening. Fairly quiet weather is expected Saturday night with the exception of lingering light lake effect snow showers across far northern Chippewa County...limited to just flurries south of the bridge. Zonal upper-level flow prevails by Sunday morning, although another weak ripple in the flow is expected to spark off snow showers across a good chunk of the CWA as early as mid-morning Sunday continuing into Sunday afternoon. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Thursday) Issued at 350 PM EST Thu Feb 23 2017 The extended period continues to host a rapidly morphing 500mb pattern...which efficiently pushes troughs across the conus and quickly returns to zonal. So we start our period with the Friday night storm exiting to the east...and flow flattening rapidly behind. This will allow enough CAA to set up a lake effect regime for Saturday night through Sunday night. We quickly lose our wind profile and colder air aloft into Monday, but not before most NW-W flow snow belts should pick up some accumulating LES. Things quiet down for Monday (and I think into Tuesday). However, blended solutions show moisture will increase into Tuesday in advance of the next weather maker. The latest model runs are getting excited about a rapidly deepening closed low once again lifting from the plains over the northern lakes for Wednesday and Thursday. That said...there are a couple thoughts on this. 1) That`s day 7 and beyond. 2) The last 2 or 3 storms that showed impressive cyclogenesis a week out ended up being less than advertised. 3) Despite one and two...the euro and GFS are already in pretty good agreement (relatively speaking for a week out), so it`ll certainly be something to keep an eye on. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night) Issued at 1148 PM EST Thu Feb 23 2017 Storm system in the central plains will track up through lower Michigan through the day Friday. This will bring a wintry mess of precipitation (snow/sleet/freezing rain) up into northern lower Michigan overnight through the Day Friday. Precip will eventually transition to mainly rain across most of northern lower Michigan on Friday. Expect IFR conditions to develop later tonight and remain IFR through Friday. && .MARINE... Issued at 350 PM EST Thu Feb 23 2017 Low pressure will track from the central plains through lower Michigan by Saturday morning, and will bring a wintry mix of precipitation and gale force winds to most of the nearshores. The gales will occur Friday through Friday evening as winds shift out of the east ahead of the sfc low. These gales may need to be extended into Saturday and Saturday night for numerous nearshores as colder air arrives under NW winds. && .APX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
