Lucianne Goldberg bashed AIDS protesters
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
On the August 29 edition of Internet gossip Matt Drudge's weekly radio show, right-wing pundit Lucianne Goldberg voiced her opinion on members of AIDS activist group ACT UP who protested naked outside the Republican National Convention in New York.
From the August 29 broadcast:
DRUDGE: Well, they brought nudity back to Times Square, I know, after Rudy [former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani] had cleaned them all up.
GOLDBERG: Well, you know, that's what got them in trouble in the first place, those AIDS demonstrators, is not having their clothes on.
According to the organization's website, ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) is "a diverse, non-partisan group of individuals united in anger and committed to direct action to end the AIDS crisis."
Goldberg is a Manhattan literary agent who, in 1997, urged Linda Tripp, an employee in the Pentagon's public affairs office, to secretly tape her phone conversations with Monica S. Lewinsky regarding Lewinsky's relationship with then-President Bill Clinton. Goldberg is also a former Nixon political operative.

Softtop Board Suggestions Needed
After 30+ years of body boarding I am planning on taking up surfing.
I am 53 years old, around 190 lbs and surf at Cape Henlopen and Assateague.
For a first board I was looking at either the Original Liquid Shredder HD-9'0"
or the Greco Eden 9 Soft Surfboard.
I am leaning toward the Liquid Shredder but wanted a professional opinion if possible.
I dont mind spending a bit more for my starter board as I take many friends and family with me to the beach and expect the board to live on as a guest / grand-kids board for several years after I am done with it.

This holiday season, the hottest trend among retailers isn't found on a store shelf. It's taking place at the cash register.
The biggest retailers, from Best Buy to Toys R Us, are promising to match their competitors' prices. Generally customers just need to bring in an advertisement or printout to prove that the same item is available elsewhere at a lower price. In some cases, shoppers can come back with a receipt and get a refund for the difference if the price of an item they bought fell.
Best Buy Co. Inc., Target Inc., Walmart Stores Inc. and Sears Inc. offer price matching to customers all year round. But what's different now is that Best Buy and Target are matching online retailers such as Amazon.com for the first time. That's a big deal, because online prices tend to be lower than those at stores.
Shoppers will be able to save some extra money, but they're going to have to read a lot of fine print to do so.
"Price matching sounds good, but there are so many exclusions, it sometimes isn't as good as it sounds," said Edgar Dworsky, the founder of ConsumerWorld.org, which tracks deals for shoppers.
For instance, Target limits the number of online retailers that it will price match against to just five. Best Buy has selected 20, but only matched online prices from Nov. 1 to Nov. 17 and will start again from Nov. 27 to Dec. 24.
Toys R Us is offering price matching for the first time and will match only prices that customers find in other brick-and-mortar stores. Walmart also matches against in-store prices.
Toys R Us, Best Buy, Sears and Target say they will match prices found on their own websites. It's not uncommon for retailers to offer steeper discounts online than in their actual stores. (But Toys R Us says it won't match prices on its website if the item is marked as an "online-only price.")
Even the most experienced bargain hunters can get tripped up by all the rules. But shoppers can save some money if they're diligent.
Here are five ways to get the most out of price matching offers:
Know the policy • Generally, you can find a retailer's guidelines on its website. Bringing the hard copy with you will be helpful if you need to argue your case.
Show proof • Always bring the advertisement or the printed Web page for the item you want to price match. Walmart doesn't require this because it says cashiers have access to all local ads, but if there's any confusion, it's best to be prepared to make your case no matter where you shop.
The cashiers and customer representatives are always looking for a reason not to approve the transaction, Dworsky said.
Save receipts • Some retailers will give you money back if you see a lower price after you buy an item. Keep a hold of your receipts and, particularly for big-ticket items, continue to look for lower prices.
Best Buy will issue refunds until the end of January. Toys R Us lets you seek a refund up to seven days after buying an item. Sears customers can get a refund after 14 days. Target is letting customer's price match against brick-and-mortar retailers until Dec. 24 for any item bought after Nov. 1. You can only ask Target to match the price of an online retailer until Dec. 16.
Go straight to the customer service desk • Many retailers have hired cashiers specifically for the holiday rush, so the new employees may not be up-to-speed on the store's price-matching policy. Heather Wheeler, who runs savings website TheKrazyCouponLady.com, recommends handling the transaction at the customer service desk instead on the cashier.
Look beyond retailers • EBay Inc.'s payment processer, PayPal, promises to match a lower price if you've already made a purchase using the service. That includes airline tickets. PayPal will give you back up to $1,000 for all purchases made until Dec. 31.
You should also ask your credit card company to see if it offers price matching. It's rare, but there are a few cards that do. Citi just launched a program, Citi Price Rewind, that registers your purchases made on the Citi credit card online and will send you a check for the difference if it finds a lower price from an online retailer.
The program is aimed at pricier purchases: It will only issue a discount if the price difference is $25 or more. Citi will give you the amount up to $250 for each item, and up to $1,000 a year. Of course, you're going to need pay your credit card bill in full and not incur interest charges to truly make this a deal.
Sorting through price matching
How it works • Merchants promise to match a competitor's price if you bring in an advertisement or printout that proves that a rival is selling an item at a cheaper price.
Confusing policies • There are a lot of exclusions. Consumers should read the terms and print the policy from a store's website so that it's readily available when they request a price match.

Cheap Trick countersues drummer
Listen to Cheap Trick on iHeartRadio
Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, Tom Petersson, and Robin Zander are responding to drummer Bun E. Carlos' lawsuit with a countersuit.
The rockers have filed documents in a Delaware court seeking to have his dismissal from the band's corporations confirmed.
In July Carlos sued his bandmates, claiming they owe him hundreds of thousands of dollars from an agreement stating that he's still a "full member" of the band and will still be compensated even if he doesn't perform with them.
Carlos has also accused the others of engaging in business without his consent, which is necessary because he's a member of their corporations.

ATLANTA -- Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith began his post-game press conference the only way he could -- he exhaled. It was a giant sigh of relief from a coach who minutes earlier had watched his team squander a three-score lead in the fourth quarter. It was a huge release of tension from a coach who had never won a playoff game, until Sunday. Matt Ryan threw three touchdown passes and led a last-minute drive to set up Matt Bryant's 49-yard game-winning field goal in the Falcons' 30-28 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at a raucous Georgia Dome. Atlanta will host the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game next Sunday. The Falcons owned a 20-point lead late in third quarter, only to see Seattle rookie quarterback Russell Wilson orchestrate three fourth-quarter scoring drives and help give the Seahawks a 28-27 lead with 31 seconds to play. But that was enough time for Ryan, who like his coach, was 0-3 in the playoffs. Starting at his own 28, Ryan completed a 22-yard pass to Harry Douglas and a 19-yarder to Tony Gonzalez to move into Bryant's range. Bryant's third game-winning kick of the season ended the Falcons' three-game postseason losing streak and Atlanta notched its first playoff win since 2004. "Wow," said a relieved Smith. "We talk all the time about playing a 60-minute game and finishing those games, and that's exactly what we did today." The Falcons didn't seal the victory until wide receiver Julio Jones, playing safety, intercepted Wilson's 48-yard Hail Mary pass to end the game. Ryan bested Seattle's hyped secondary, throwing for 250 yards with touchdowns to Roddy White, Gonzalez (who won in the playoff for the first time during his 16-year career), and fullback Jason Snelling on a nifty shovel pass that put the Falcons up 27-7 with 2:11 left in the third quarter. The Georgia Dome was fired-up and the Falcons were in control. But Seattle did not go away without a fight. Wilson scrambled for a score and then hit Zach Miller on a 3-yard touchdown pass that cut the Falcons lead to 27-21 with 9:13 to play. Eight minutes later, on the Seahawks' go-ahead scoring drive, Wilson spun away from Falcons linebacker Stephen Nicholas and found Lynch, who rumbled 24 yards down to the Atlanta 3. The next play, Lynch, who was held relatively in check for most of the game, powered through the Falcons' line for a tying touchdown. Ryan Longwell's extra point put Seattle up 28-27 with 34 seconds to play. "I knew we were going to win it. At least, that's what I thought," Wilson said. "Obviously, it didn't work out. Like I said earlier, that resilient attitude that we showed, and that mindset of continuing to play one play at a time, and stay in the game is unbelievable. It was a great game. That's what the playoffs are all about." After the way the game started, it never seemed like it would be destined to come down the last minute. The Falcons jumped out to an early lead and seized control after a failed gamble by Seattle coach Pete Carroll. Trailing 13-0, the Seahawks were threatening in the second quarter. Carroll went for a first down on 4th-and-inches from the Falcons' 11 and elected to give fullback Michael Robinson a shot at picking up the first down. Robinson was stuffed, and four plays later, Ryan lofted a high-arcing bomb to White, who ran under the perfect throw for a 47-yard touchdown and a 20-0 Falcons' lead. "You have to make six inches or whatever it was," Carroll said. "We got to fourth down and thought we could knock it out." A chant of "Rod-dy! Rod-dy!" erupted in a packed Georgia Dome, and the Falcons looked like they were in total command, after a second defensive stand kept Seattle off the scoreboard at halftime. With Seattle at the Falcons' 11, Jonathan Babineaux sacked Wilson on third down, and time expired before the Seahawks could get another play off. Babineaux also had a fumble recovery in the first quarter. A Seattle team that averaged 38.8 points over its last five games went to the locker room down 20-0. "We could have kicked a field goal to end the half there," Carroll said. "We had five opportunities to score in the first half and just didn't get it done." The Seahawks got on the board on their first drive of the second half. Wilson hit Golden Tate on a 29-yard touchdown pass to give Seattle hope. The Falcons responded with a time-consuming, 14-play drive, capped by Ryan's 5-yard shovel pass to Snelling that seemed to slam the door. Despite the loss, Carroll and the Seahawks head into the offseason with a lot of promise. Wilson led two comebacks in his first two playoff games, and the Seattle defense emerged as one of the league's best. "We're mentally strong -- physically strong," said Seattle defensive tackle Alan Branch. "We're just so young. Russell (Wilson) is a great quarterback. He is only a rookie. He can only get better in this league. Who knows. Sky's the limit." While relieved, Smith said his mind already was turning to the 49ers, who were impressive in a 45-31 win over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. "We've got to figure out how we're going to play better than we did in the second half of the ballgame today," Smith said. "That's where my mindset is. It's already flipped the switch. We've got a good football team coming in here." Notes: Falcons DE John Abraham re-aggravated his ankle injury he suffered in the regular-season finale against Tampa Bay and left the game in the first half. ... Seattle defensive end Chris Clemons, the Seahawks' leader in sacks (seven), will reportedly meet with Dr. James Andrews regarding his torn anterior cruciate ligament, suffered against the Washington Redskins in the wildcard round of the playoffs. ... White became the Falcons' all-time leader in postseason receptions.

Uh-Oh Amanda Bynes...
What happened to our innocent Amanda Bynes? Girlfriend has totally lost it and we'll tell you why! She recently started a fire in a random person's driveway and was forced into a 5150 hold. Her stay at the psychiatric ward was now extended for two extra weeks, and it has been confirmed that her parents have filed for conservatorship. This now means they are responsible for Amanda's legal and personal affairs.
Amanda used to tweet how she wanted to lose weight and it is being reported that she was taking Adderall for years to stay thin.
Going down the wrong path, Sam Lufti is by her side. Remember him... he was also a close friend of Britney Spears when she had her mental breakdown. This Sam guy is obviously not a good influence on Amanda!
Were only hoping for the best for you girl, good luck!

Alright Guys,
Does anyone know of any half decent MMA Clubs in the North Wales area? I live in Rhyl. I know that there was one called the Rabbit hutch (Vale tudo) in Wrexham but I`m not sure if it is still up and going. The wolfs Lair is only about an hour and a half drive away but I probably can`t afford the petrol. I`m not looking at being the next Chuck Liddell or Randy couture. I`m just looking at doing it on a fitness basis and maybe the odd Amateur scrap somewhere down the line.
Your help would be greatly appreciated, my apologies if this sort of thread has been posted loads of times.

System manager and address:
Executive Officer
Office of the General Counsel
Social Security Administration
Notification procedure(s):
An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by writing to the systems manager at the above address and providing his/her name, SSN or other information that may be in the system of records that will identify him/her. An individual requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license. If an individual does not have any identification documents sufficient to establish his/her identity, the individual must certify in writing that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense.
If notification is requested by telephone, an individual must verify his/her identity by providing identifying information that parallels the record to which notification is being requested. If we determine that the identifying information that the individual provides by telephone is insufficient, we will require the individual to submit a request in writing or in person.

Bruno '13 helps to spruce up Wheaton's mainstreet
Posted by Matthew Privratsky '11, Walker on Thursday, Sep. 30, 2010
At the University of Minnesota, Morris (UMM) students get a chance to experience a wide array of opportunities, and Sam Bruno '13, Foley, is the perfect example. She is a studio art major, UMM's Quidditch league commissioner, and a presenter at conferences dedicated to broadband Internet research. But over the past summer, she added improving the look and functionality of the mainstreet in Wheaton to her diverse list of activities.
The project was set up through The Center for Small Towns, a community outreach program housed at the University of Minnesota, Morris, and funded by the Bremer Foundation. Over the summer, Bruno worked with two faculty mentors to help Wheaton develop short and long term goals for their mainstreet area. Tom Gausman, lecturer in economics and management, advised Bruno on economic and business decisions, while Michael Eble, associate professor of studio art, advised her on the look and feel of the mainstreet.
With almost no experience in working on city projects, Bruno said she basically "went in blind and had to soak up information like crazy." Working with members of the Wheaton's Mainstreet Makeover Committee, Bruno helped restore the look and feel of mainstreet by touching up the paint, adding more green spaces, and creating more signs that direct people to significant spots on the street. Most notably may have been her work to make the museum in town more publicized and visible. The museum features military equipment and uniforms from virtually every American war, and now sees many more visitors.
Those accomplishments did not come without challenges. Working with two professors and members of the community that were all very busy is difficult in and of itself, but Bruno said it really taught her how to take charge and be a strong leader. After seeing all of the improvements and how much it meant to members of the Wheaton community, Bruno was happy to see the results of her hard work. "They were so dedicated to their town," Sam said, "Universities are such a powerful entity. If we can apply that to surrounding communities, great things can happen."

Was $99.95 NOW $69.95
This is the hand-washable robe made from 100% Merino wool, considered one of the softest natural fibers in the world. Lightweight for casual wear, it is woven from Australian wool with an extra-fine 70-micron count into a 1-ply yarn with a 1/4"-high pile, resulting in a luxurious softness more typical of cashmere than wool. The wool is treated such that the robe eschews the expensive care typically required for wool garments, allowing repeated hand-washings without shrinkage, a feature exclusive to Hammacher Schlemmer. The fine, worsted wool wicks moisture away from the body and creates a body warmth barrier against cold bathroom drafts or during quick forays for the morning paper. Its 40 1/2" length is complemented by a shawl collar and wide 2"-wide tie. Charcoal. Unisex sizes. S, M, L, XL, XXL. (8 oz.)��
Lifetime Guarantee
The Washable Merino Wool Robe comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

don't judge the item by its description
By energized bunny
from Los Angeles, CA
don't know yet how it washes. Catalog mentioned lighter weight. Robe is not as soft as advertised - somewhat scratchy. But I will use it for travelling, it takes less room than other robes.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. We recommend hand washing inside out and hang or lay flat to dry.
soft and warm for not so cold climates
By Cold Climate Customer
from Michigan
I live in Michigan and we have had a real winter. So it functions now as a bottom liner to a warm robe. I hope to use it with warmer weather as the real robe.It does wash well with Woolite and is dry in 24 hours if laid flat and wide on a sweater rack.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Felt like a jersey robe, not wool
By Jim, the military guy
from Rock Hill, SC
My husband has had a wool robe that he loved. This robe did not feel like a wool robe. It was clingy instead of loose like a robe would normally be,
Returned: Too Short
By Richard
from Lancaster, CA
The robe itself is a quality robe that would meet all my wife's expectations, except it was not long enough. It is sad that no one makes ankle length robes. . . . we would gladly pay more if only it was ankle length. Hopefully, the maker of the robe would find an economic benefit to make a small number of ankle length robes. We did not like having to return the robe, but my wife wanted a longer robe; I have a longer robe made by another company and different material. I have no need for a short robe and would love to see my wife happy with an ankle length robe.
The Best!
By T.S.
from Denver, CO
This robe is so soft and comfortable. It is not bulky or overy warm (which past fleece robes have been). It hangs nicely and is not too long so my legs aren't confinded. I am loving this robe! The only thing it could use is a pocket - but I quickly got over that missing feature. I highly recommend.
Perfect weight for travel

Very nice on cool nights without bulk. Haven't washed it yet.

Purchased this robe for travel as it is light weight yet warm. Find myself using it daily as it is not bulky, washes nicely and looks brand new after every wash.

text: I didn't see if the issue about objects getting "stuck" was fully resolved earlier, but in my experience, a common cause of this with fast-moving objects results from collider thickness. Thicker colliders result in much more reliable collisions. Now I realize adjustable collider thickness was mentioned earlier as more of an aesthetic concern, but I just wanted to toss in my $0.02 with regard to this also being a practical physics concern as well.

I used to be one of those people who grabbed a coffee on the way to class or work and called it breakfast. Somewhere around the time that I began my first full-time job and started to run for exercise, I decided to try behaving like an adult and make breakfast a priority. I haven't looked back since.
Breakfast during the week is what I dream about on my morning run, it's my fuel and nourishment. On the weekends it's a recreational activity – going out and getting the freshest bread we can find, trying a new restaurant, meeting up with friends, making something warm and slightly elaborate and enjoying it over too much coffee and the weekend papers.
Any way it's had, breakfast is a happy part of my day.
I'd never eaten or heard of bircher muesli until visiting Australia, but ever since I've been making different versions of this basic recipe.
I know bircher muesli kind of sounds like some sort of genus-species name for tree, but I promise it's better than that. It's crunchy and creamy. Sweet and nutty. Cold and comforting. Light and filling.
It's a simple and healthy breakfast that's easy to throw together the night before and enjoy with whatever toppings and add-ins you fancy.
I topped this version with more yogurt, sliced bananas, pepitas, the first fresh figs of the season and a drizzle of honey.
It all starts with humble and plain rolled oats.
We add grated apple and coconut flakes for texture and flavor. Cinnamon and nutmeg join in to spice up the deal. And yogurt, coconut milk and a bit of water are there to plump up the oats and provide creaminess.
Give the whole thing a good stir and let it chill out in the fridge for at least an hour or two, but overnight is usually the easiest and best way.
Bircher Muesli
Serves 2
- 1 cup old fashioned (rolled) oats
- 2 tablespoons coconut flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1 large apple, grated on box grater
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/3 cup yogurt, plus more for serving
- pepitas, sliced fig, banana and honey to serve
Place oats, coconut flakes, cinnamon, nutmeg, grated apple, water, coconut milk and yogurt in a bowl and mix well to combine.
Store in the refrigerator overnight in an airtight container and eat with desired toppings in the morning.
You can modify this recipe in any number of ways with different toppings and amounts of ingredients.
Fruit: Grated apple can be replaced with grated pear or another finely cut fruit or left out altogether. I think the grated apple creates a great texture though and its juices sweeten the dish.
You can also add dried fruit in with the oats and liquid to soak and plump overnight, or add as a topping.
Liquid: You can substitute coconut milk and water for all coconut milk or any other dairy or non-dairy milk, or with fruit juice. The juice of 1 orange and a bit of water works well.
You can also reduce the liquid by a 1/4-1/2 a cup if you desire a drier, chewier texture.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Large resort Grounds well-kept Great view Quiet A bit run-down inside the hotel. There were many marks on the walls in the room. The hotel needs an upgrade. Tub faucet was loose and came out. Amenities weren't great. The dining was average, the price was high and did not match with the quality of food. Overall the price of staying was higher than the quality of the experience.
The staff were not friendly. I requested for earlier check in but was denied. The staff knew that we were waiting for the room. However they told us that the room was still not available at 2:53pm, just seven minutes before their standard check in time. At 3pm, when I was checking in, the staff went away for almost 10 minutes and never said a word why she went away nor apologized for her delay. For star hotel with one star staff/service.
Great location right on the beach and close to everything (everything in Guam). Nice pool area. Friendly staff. Nice view from the room. Hyatt charged my credit card an additional $400.00 post checkout. I'm disputing the charge but they are very slow to respond/investigate. My res was paid in full on on booking so they made a serious mistake. The hotel is kind of run down, stains all along the carpet and the rooms are damaged and slightly dated. Stained walls, furniture, hallways, light fixtures etc. Not well maintained ir clean as one would expect at a Hyatt. Especially for the price.
Good location next to water and shops. Room could have been cleaned better. Wifi isn't anything to brag about in room but that is the norm with Guam.
I booked last minute and the room was $300/night. Upon booking, I was told that check in was at 3pm. However, at 3pm the room was "not ready". Eventually 45 minutes later, when I again approached the front desk she offered a room with a Partial Ocean view, which related to a tiny sliver of water. This sliver could be viewed from the ledge, the hotel referred to as a balcony, which was approximately 4ft wide and 8 ft long. Not long enough for furniture so it was barren. The room was nice enough, though it was evident that the cleaning crew had worked hastily; nut shells on the floor, random debris under the bed. All in all completely not worth what I paid. I was highly disappointed.
Loved the wellness center. Great classes -- only wish I could have taken more of them. Wide range of equipment, and plenty of it. Ample poolside space, with several different pools. if you don't find a chaise longue at one spot, there's plenty more. Staff was very helpful and friendly.
The staff were helpful and accommodating. They try to do their best to address my concern. This is my second time going there and found it a satisfying place to stay. The complimentary bottled water is only good for check in! I stayed 3 nights and when I asked for the refill, the answer of the housekeeping is they only give the complimentary during check in. I found it unreasonable.....
The staff was extremely great. The hotel is horrible as far as conditions mildew stains all over the bath tub, beds are extremely hard very and out dated.
Lobby is nice and location is at convenient place. Smelled the mildew in the room., ants and bugs in the room.
No issues with this hotel. Most strongly recommend it for business travel. Great staff and their concern for their guests.
small bath tub, no razor for shaving.
None of it Upon entering the hotel you notice the air feels just like outside; hot. When we got up to our room, it smelt like your grandmas moldy basement. The bathroom was outdated, rusty, and just felt dirty. The tube TV (yes, still has tube TV's in our room) had buttons pushed into it. After coming back one night we noticed we had an ant infestation which caused us to have to move rooms. The room we were moved to was HOT and even stayed hot after cranking the AC down to 60. The bathroom was even worse than the first one. After leaving the ant infested room, my wife and I (two days married) could not sleep due to the feeling of ants crawling on us after being so disgusted from the first room. On our first day we walked down to the pool and both told each other there was no way we were getting in it. The appearance just gave that dirty feeling. While the staff was very friendly, you only deal with them for 10 mins out of your entire stay. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Guam.
There was a gym, location was fairly close to shopping, beach access, good service from hotel folks. Some staff members were rude. Hotel is old so we were constantly moved around because the ac in the rooms kept going out.
I like the location The stupidity of the employees, the horrible rock hard beds, the lil old security guard running around trying to be a hero, the fact that the TV was the size of a lap top and you couldn't hook up any input because of a blocker they had on it, the fact that you would call the front desk for help with something and they would just say "I sorry", " I don't know "!
I liked that my company was able to book a hotel for the 3 weeks I was spending in Guam. This was the only option available. That's should've been a clue. First, the air con spits out water constantly. If you shut off the air con, mold starts to grow in your room. You can't open the windows to air out the room. During a tropical storm the wood surrounding the windows was saturated with water and started raining in my room... eventually adding to the mold. Most of the staff were nice. I never accepted room service for cleaning but they would give me anything but water. For some reason they refused to provide any more bottled water than the initial two bottles. For the thousands of dollars my room cost, I would think a few bottles wouldn't be a problem. If you have them shuttle you to the airport, pay at reception. My airport driver pocketed $5 when I wasn't looking and claimed I hadn't paid him the full amount for shuttle service. When I counted my money at the airport I realized what he had done. Summary: I've stayed in Cambodian an Laotian hotels that were better maintained at a third of the price.
The air conditioning did not work
I love the big room One thing that bother me was the bathroom. The shower head need to be replace and clean
Staff was extremely friendly and accomadating and the location was great in Tumon. The rooms were fairly large. Internet service needs to improve. Half the time it was down or intermittent. Also, the air conditioning system is in need of repair the rooms humidity was extremely high and always felt the room was wet and moldy smelling. The facility also needs some repairs and upgrades.
No hot water in showe
Staff was great overall hote is like a motel. Tv is still like a boc tv. Its 2016. Needs upgrade of hotel very poor looking but expensive ao thats rip off price with the condition of hotel. Room and hote i did not like. It was like a motel and bery very old condition looking rooms.
The lacation and Oceanfront view was nice. Everything else..... Room was dirty, no microwave hairblower or coffee machine. All furniture was old and broken.Matress was old dirty and broken. Bedsheets were torn. Bathroom was Old and dirty. Roomservice was bad. No operational service phone. Old TV with bad picture quality. Hotel had a bad smell of bugspray. Walls in hotel were dirty and faded. Amendeties were all out of service. Gym was closed. Pool water was dirty. I can go on and on.............. Overall horrible.
Location Maids were very accommodating We didn't get a ocean view as reserved just a view I overlooking a parking lot plus the balcony door won't open The room had a wornout and hard bed with flat pillows, The AC leaked caused damp mold like smell in the room

1001 Farmington Ave, Suite 304, West Hartford, Connecticut 06107
Hi, I'm Dr. Dave Russell. I am a psychologist who specializes in intensive counseling and coaching focused on getting to the root and core of your problems.

Art Farmer - The Time And The Place (MCD-1010)Mosaic Singles
"While it might have more rough edges than the studio album, it captures the group as it sounded nightly, swinging hard and stretching out. Jimmy Heaths playing is particularly incandescent. The groups drive brings out a rarely-heard extroverted side Farmers playing." - Michael Cuscuna, liner notes
Limited Edition
In 1967, Columbia issued The Time And The Place by the Art Farmer quintet, billing it as a concert from the Museum Of Modern Art. In fact, it was a studio recording with fake applause dubbed in. The real concert sat in the vaults until three tunes came out on a 1982 double LP reissue. Even then, no one seemed to discover the ruse. When Mosaic began researching Farmer's Columbia tapes, it became obvious that those three tracks were live and the original album was manipulated.
The actual concert took place on August 18, 1966 was recorded and, except for three tunes, has sat in the vaults ever since. We have uncovered the original three-track masters of the unedited performance, which contains seven superb extended performances and remixed them in 24-bit. This 72-minute CD contains the real concert as it happened by one of the finest, if unhearalded, hard bop bands of the '60s.
The quintet with Jimmy Heath, Albert Dailey, Walter Booker and Mickey Roker was seven months old and had developed into a first-rate hard bop ensemble. Where tunes like On The Trail and The Time And The Place were under three and five minutes respectively on the released album, each is a ten-minute tour-de-force in concert.

|Really good release, good sound and performance - real pros at work. A pleasure.
|Dailey is a big star who died young. Tremendous pianist with few recordings. He recorded an amazing duet session with Stan Getz called "Poetry." Yes, he's the star of this show too.
|Farmer & Friends
|Good not great release. Good Farmer, not great Farmer. I've got lots of Farmer recordings and this is somewhere in the middle of the pack. Heath is good but somewhat predictable. The rhythm section is solid but not particularly adventurous. The star of the show is Albert Dailey who is worth the price of admission.
|A Masterpiece
|This recording features five all-stars playing at the top of their game. The sound is superb: clean, clear, and crisp. I had the good fortune to see Farmer and Heath together a dozen or so times and this recording captures that adrenaline-inspiring interplay between the two giants and a first-rate rhythm section at its finest. All of the compositions are terrific driving blues and modal gems. I truly believe that it is a modern jazz masterpiece and deserves a place on the CD shelf next to other live classics such as The Messengers at Cafe Bohemia, The Adderley's in San Francisco, Shelly Manne's Men at the Blackhawk, Donald Byrd at the Half Note, among others.
|A memorable outing for Farmer & Co.
|This is a fun little live date. Was it rare to hear jazz performed at the MoMA? This album is not without some flaws but overall it is enjoyable. Jimmy Heath really shines. Some of his best playing ever. Ditto Albert Dailey. Check it out if you're a fan of them.
|Surprisingly Fresh - Jimmy Heath Really Shines
|Art Farmer is the master of Cool on this album, but the big surprise for me is Jimmy Heath's fantastic solos - I really wasn't expecting such complexity and "reaching" by Heath. This is definitely one of my best purchases this year.
|Just how many of these rabbits does Michael Cascuna have in his hat.This is a gem that bears repeated listenings. Been in the first slot of my player since acquired more tha 3 weeks ago. Thank you Michael. And thank you Art & co. Special.

description: Airships once dominated long-distance travel, until a series of high-profiles disasters-like the Hindenburg—damaged their reputation. Learn all about the history of balloon flight.

is_us_only: false

title: I Didn't Know That: Airships

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
JONNY PHILLIPS: One of the gases used extensively for early balloon flights was hydrogen and this is because it's so easy to make, and we're going to show you how.
RICHARD AMBROSE: We're passing an electrical current from a 6 volt battery through a column of water and we're splitting the water into its component parts - hydrogen and oxygen.  From the positive end of the battery we create oxygen...from the negative end of the battery we create hydrogen.  It's a process called electrolysis.
JONNY PHILLIPS: And in fact the father of electricity himself, the Victorian scientist Michael Faraday, invented rubberised balloons to store the hydrogen produced during his experiments. I bet you didn't know that?
VO: The big advantage of a lighter than air gas like hydrogen is that once you've filled your balloon, it floats, it's as simple as that.  No heat is required.
JONNY PHILLIPS: And because hydrogen in large quantities produces a lot of lift, it wasn't long before people were attaching machinery to balloons too achieve power flight. These power balloons became known as airships.  Originally they were hand or even steam powered, but the real breakthrough came with the development of the internal combustion engine.
VO: At the turn of the 20th Century, the German, Count Von Zeppelin, showed what was possible with this new form of transport.  It wasn't long before the British and Americans were following his lead.
30 years before the arrival of trans-Atlantic civilian passenger planes, airships dominated long-distance travel.
For most of that time, they had a surprisingly good safety record, but all that changed with a series of high profile disasters.  The most famous being the Hindenburg.
But despite its notoriety, an amazing two thirds of the passengers and crew survived.  It was however, the final nail in the coffin that ended the use of hydrogen in airships for good.
Their small descendants are still around today, but they're now filled with a much safer gas: Helium.

Keith Urban shares his favorite music from 2013
Listen to Keith Urban on iHeartRadio
Lorde, Justin Timberlake, and Blood Orange are some of the artists who really caught Keith Urban's ear this year.
The country star tells "Rolling Stone" he finds Lorde to be "magnetic on so many levels," and he's impressed with her "artistic depth and gravitas," especially since she's just 17 years old.
Urban says his favorite album of 2013 is Cupid Deluxe from the British indie pop singer Blood Orange, while he not only likes Justin Timberlake's song "Mirrors" but also the way the pop superstar is keeping its meaning ambiguous.
Urban says he's also a fan of Kanye West. Keith says he's "relentlessly hungry, curious and passionate about new ways to express," and the rapper is "so bold and different," and essentially creating a new art form.
Regarding country music, Keith says he's one of the many fans of Florida Georgia Line's massive hit "Cruise." He says he could tell from the moment he heard it that the song was "going to be a behemoth." Urban adds that songs like "Cruise" are "really hard to write because they're magical."

The Oklahoman's New Year Prayer For Cooler Temps Ignores Climate Change
On its list of wishes for the New Year, The Oklahoman is pleading to God for "a wetter, cooler summer" after two years of drought and high temperatures -- an odd request, given that the publication has a history of denying the existence of climate change and ignoring evidence that global warming can exacerbate severe drought conditions.
Rejecting the tradition of New Year's resolutions as "well-intended vows that usually don't wind up amounting to much," The Oklahoman passed up an opportunity for self-evaluation and instead made a list of "wishes" that the editorial board hopes will come to pass in 2013. The board's first wish [1] was for a cooler summer:
As the new year begins, we're offering wishes instead of resolutions. What follows is a compilation of what The Oklahoman's editorial board hopes to see come to pass in 2013, here and elsewhere.
A wetter, cooler summer: Enough with the heat and drought! We thought 2011 was bad, and it was, but 2012 wasn't much better. There were fewer 100-degree days than the year before, but that 113-degree reading at Will Rogers World Airport on Aug. 4 was over the top. Oklahoma begins the new year with 90 percent of the state experiencing extreme to exceptional drought. What's needed is an extended period (or two, or three) of soaking rainfall. From our lips to God's ears!
The Oklahoman's wish reeks of irony; the paper has regularly denied [2] the existence of global warming while pushing [3] for energy [4] policies that would benefit the paper's billionaire owner, oil and gas tycoon Philip Anschutz, and continue us on the path of further warming. Unsurprisingly, the paper's complaint about the extreme weather was devoid of deeper context, but scientists have explained that this year's drought may have been made worse by higher temperatures [5] in 2012 -- part of a manmade global warming trend [6]. From the science journalism site Climate Central [7]:
Unlike the droughts of the 1930s, this one is occurring in a much warmer climate, a byproduct of manmade global warming. [Richard Seager, a professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University] said that although it most likely didn't trigger the drought, it's possible that global warming is making this drought worse than it would otherwise be.
"I think what we're seeing is largely a naturally occurring event, but it's occurring against the background of a warming environment," Seager said.
A recent study found that global warming made the Texas drought and heat wave 20 times more likely to occur than under similar large-scale climate conditions 50 years ago. Other research shows that warming driven by human activities made the same heat wave and drought more severe than it otherwise would have been. As for whether global warming made the current drought more likely to occur, such "climate attribution" studies can take several months to complete, and the drought is still underway.
If indeed we're already seeing more intense droughts as a result of global warming, it doesn't bode well for the future, judging from what climate studies show. For example, climate research consistently shows the Southwest U.S. will become much drier as the climate continues to warm.
Of course, this kind of expert testimony is absent from the pages of The Oklahoman. Rather than a list of New Year's "wishes," the paper's readership would be better served by a resolution from the editors: a dedication to informed and balanced journalism on the subject of energy and the environment.

description: Beetles and lizards beware: Firing jets of water from its mouth, the archer fish can knock prey out of a branch five feet above the water.

title: World's Deadliest: Fish "Shoots" Prey With Water

transcript:
The pitiful beetle is the target of another marksman that stalks the tropics of Asia and Australia.
The Archerfish.
One of the few aquatic predators that can hunt prey outside its element.
On average, it grows more than six inches long-but it can hit a target over five feet away...from tiny bugs to small lizards.
It forms a tube with its tongue, then squeezes its gill covers to fire.
A jet of water shoots out along the roof of its mouth.
By positioning itself directly under its prey, it minimizes the effect of refraction of the water.
Anyone who has ever tried to spear a fish knows the surface refracts your aim.
But not the Archerfish's aim.
It can even gauge the weight of the target, to calculate how much water to fire.
A shot typically packs ten times the force a bug uses to hold on.

Dragons Dogma is an excellent game for fans of the action RPG or fantasy genre. Its uninspiring story and quests hold it back from greatness, but its gameplay and pawn system give players much to enjoy.
Super Gamer Dude
Xbox 360
One of the great surprises of 2012 is Dragons Dogma. Capcom's action RPG, set in a traditional fantasy world similar to Tolkien and Dungeon's and Dragons, is a successfully solid game that, although somewhat unpolished, is worth picking up by fans of the genre.
After customizing the appearance and class of their character, players begin as a peaceful villager at the start Dragon's Dogma, but this changes quickly, as a dragon suddenly comes hurtling out of the sky, spewing fire across the land and wiping out both the village and its inhabitants with terrifying ferocity. During this massacre, the player's ill-fated character has his (or her, if players so choose) heart ripped out of his chest and gobbled up by the dragon. Raised from the dead, the player is dubbed the Arisen, and the adventure begins. This, unfortunately, is where the story of Dragon;s Dogma stops being interesting and relies heavily on bland interactions with characters and repetitive quests. Those looking for a deep story in the same vein as the Mass Effect series or the original Dragon's Age, should move on.
The strength of Dragon's Dogma lies primarily in its gameplay, which is clearly influenced by both Dark Souls and Shadow of the Colossus. Echoing Dark Souls' gameplay, even small-scale battles are difficult, as Dragon's Dogma expects players not to charge blindly into conflicts. Instead, gameplay demands that players use thoughtful strategy, are solidly geared, and have appropriate party members fighting by their side. To overlook any of the aforementioned all but guarantees death. To keep the combat fresh, and borrowing from the mechanics of Colossus, players are introduced to new tactics when fighting one of the many large monsters to be found within the game. The need to climb the neck of a great hydra, cling to the back of a slobbering troll, or grip tight to the underbelly of a massive dragon, creates a sense of epic action that many games only hope to emulate. This type of fight, while not so frequent that they become dull, constantly inject a sense of excitement and wonder into the game.
At times, battles can become exceptionally difficult, which is why the pawn system plays such a vital role in Dragon's Dogma. At the start of the game, players create one permanent pawn, or character, that will travel with them throughout their entire adventure. However, players are also encouraged to hire other pawns. If playing online, these pawns are all player-created. They have also been battle-tested and equipped according to whatever adventures their player-creator has completed. Based on their previous experiences, these hired pawns will give suggestions, recall specific events from before, and warn players of dangers behind locked doors or in murky woods. Additionally, when these hired pawns return, they bring with them the new experience and knowledge gained from their time being hired out. Not only do these pawns serve as an incomparably useful tool within DragonÂÂ's Dogma, they also keep the game exceedingly fresh and personal. Players also have the option of creating a list of pawns they prefer to repeatedly hire, similar to a traditional friends' list. Fortunately, if a player is not online, the pawn system is still available since Capcom has provided computer-generated pawns; however, these pawns lack the personality and the intimacy that player-created pawns posses.
Dragon's Dogma is an excellent game for fans of the action RPG or fantasy genre. Its uninspiring story and quests hold it back from greatness, but its gameplay and pawn system give players much to enjoy.
