Best Of :: Shopping & Services
If the glorious chocolate malts and grape phosphates at Another Time don't take you back, the renovated soda fountain in historic downtown Richmond, overlooking a beautiful train museum, certainly will. After polishing off your patty melt and banana split, keep the time warp going by visiting all of the many antique dealers all around Another Time — you'll work off those milkshake calories while you're at it.
It's inevitable: When Halloween comes around or you just need that certain something for your party, someone yells, "Just go to Frankel's!" The family-run shop, which began life in 1950 as Morty's Magic Mart, has become Houston's own Walmart of costumes, wigs and everything in between. We mean Walmart in the best possible way, too. With Halloween still a month off, no doubt people are already busting down the doors of the Frankel's warehouse looking for gear. If you want to dress up as Zombie Amy Winehouse, you are going to Hell, but no doubt Frankel's will have everything to help you get there.
This concept store from H-E-B has been a massive success in its first location in a heavily Hispanic area of Pasadena, and it's easy to see why: The store has been designed to resemble a massive indoor mercado complete with tortilleria, an aguas frescas bar and even women cleaning and prepping bright green nopales paddles. There's no Hispanic ingredient or spice you can't find here, and H-E-B's in-house store brands provide excellent savings on staples like rice and beans. Plus, you have to love a store that smartly plants a churro vendor on the way out the door.
Forget the grown men who refer to the objects of their hobbies as "toys." Sweet Spot Audio and More will have none of that. A grown-up hobby shop for the Don Draper kind, Sweet Spot is a cigar shop, men's boutique and audiophile's fantasy rolled into one. They sell coffee and tobacco along with new and used vinyl, and feature regular meet-ups for audio clubs, all in a laid-back atmosphere without a hint of hard sell. It feels like your buddy's den. They're also one of the few audio shops in town that will let you demo the equipment before buying it.
Phooey on getting lubricated at home before going out. Instead, step into Spec's Midtown location and prep for a night on the town at one of the state's most massive odes to boozery. There's always some sort of beer and/or wine tastings, especially on the weekends. No worries on the food tip because the spot boasts a deli, a section of gourmet chocolates and heaps of meats and cheeses. And, of course, there are ridiculous amounts of specialty beers, wines and liquors available for purchase, just in case you do decide to be all boring by drinking at home.
Walking into certain camera shops in town can feel like the equivalent of walking into the Comic Book Guy's store on The Simpsons. If you're not cool enough to know the most obscure photo trivia or have the newest DSLR, you're treated with barely veiled derision. Not so at Houston Camera Exchange. They carry a full range of new and used toys, digital and analog, for every manner of photography, plus the accessories to match. They'll also help you find the best camera or recorder to match your needs, whether it's documenting a new addition to your family or replacing the Nikon your grandmother handed down to you. An employee there once complimented us on a battered old point-and-shoot, calling it the best one ever made, before helping us find a way to mount it onto our motorcycle. We ended up walking out with a birdwatcher's vice for attaching binoculars to a car window, a solution we never would have thought of on our own.

Can you actually get this card working even with the wpa_supplicant or anyone else with an Intel 4965agn for that matter?
I can't seem to get it working on BT4 final although on BT4 beta it DOES work. I am not sure what's wrong I do the exact same commands in both and get different results.

After leading their teams to last year's World Series, Justin Verlander and Buster Posey cashed in just hours apart Friday.
The All-Star pitcher and MVP catcher were guaranteed nearly $350 million in contracts by the Tigers and Giants, a sure sign of the baseball times: Teams are awash with revenue from television and high-priced tickets.
Verlander, an AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner for Detroit, agreed to a $180 million, seven-year deal with the Tigers that is the richest for a pitcher and prevents him from becoming a free agent after the 2014 season.
Posey, the batting champion who led San Francisco to a pair of World Series titles in the last three years, received $167 million, nine-year deal from the Giants. The catcher could not have gone on the market until after the 2016 season.
Around the horn
Royals • Former AL MVP Miguel Tejada has made Kansas City's opening-day roster as a utility infielder. The 38-year-old is a six-time All-Star who last played in the major leagues in 2011 with the San Francisco Giants. He hit .239 with four homers and 26 RBIs in 322 at-bats. He spent last season with Baltimore's Triple-A team at Norfolk before his release on June 25.
Orioles • Right-hander Freddy Garcia agreed to a minor league contract with Baltimore, five days after he was released by the San Diego Padres.

Which tutorial?
Just for your information; unlike told in the tutorial, 2GB usb drive seems to be not enough for BackTrack 5R1. I tried to install the 32bit and 64bit GNOME versions on it but UNetBootIn stopped at about 50% and told that the stick was out of space. Installation onto a 8GB stick went well so it's not a bug with Unetbootin or anything.
Which tutorial?
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Same question as Barry, which tutorial?
The official wiki talks about 4Gb for LiveUSB and 8Gb for Persistent USB install.
This is the thing, when looking for a tutorial/documentation, try to look first in the official website of the tool you're using. It should be the best place to learn how to use a tool (who better to teach you how to use it than the author itself?). For example, I learned a LOT about wireless networks just by following aircrack-ng tutorials, where everything is very well documented and explained. The same can't be said about other tutorials in the wild (although some of them are pretty good and explain everything in a easy way to understand).
THIS ONE - which is still in the site index nine months later and states "(Minimum USB Drive capacity 2 GB)"
Glad I found this thread before wasting the time on an old leftover 2GB stick!

When you open the Universalis application on Android, you will see a page of text with three controls at the top.
① To see a different date, tap the date heading at the top of the screen, towards the left.
② To see a different page, tap the page heading at the top of the screen, towards the right.
③ To see alternative texts, look for a menu symbol at the right-hand edge of the screen, and tap it. The alternatives may be different saints, or a different choice of invitatory, Creed, Preface, etc. In older versions, the menu symbol appeared as a blue arrow.
④ The Android system menu symbol is usually at the far top right of the screen. If you tap on it, a menu will open, with three options in it:
If you can't see the menu button: Some manufacturers change the three-dots symbol, or delete the menu button from the top right of their screens. In that case, the device may have a physical menu button outside the screen. Or there may be no physical menu button at all, and you have to open the menu by pressing and holding down the "application switch" button at the bottom right of the screen. This page from WhatsApp has useful explanations and pictures.
Here and there in some of the pages, you will see a pale blue arrow on the right-hand side. These arrows let you choose among various options within the page.
Universalis tries to be intelligent in remembering your choice. For instance, if you chose to have the Invitatory Psalm at Morning Prayer today, it will show it to you at Morning Prayer again tomorrow. Of course, if it has guessed wrong, you can use the blue arrow to correct it.

Is the end near?
With all the doom and gloom over the recent financial meltdown where bankers and stock speculators are making it difficult for the rest of us while getting a free ride from the government (it's best you not get me started), you might think that this event alone would be a sign of the apocalypse.
Here's the real sign that the end is near: Richard Stallman and Larry Ellison agree on something, namely the fact that the nebulously phrased "cloud computing" is a farce.
Late last month, the Guardian published an interview with Stallman saying, in effect that cloud computing "is a trap" and that Web-based programs like Google's Gmail will force people to buy into locked, proprietary systems that will cost more and more over time.
I can see that, and Stallman outlines his case in textbook Stallman throughout the article.
However, later on in the same article, Oracle's chief oracle Larry Ellison — reading from the article — "criticised the rash of cloud computing announcements as 'fashion-driven' and 'complete gibberish'."
Ellison continues: "The interesting thing about cloud computing is that we've redefined cloud computing to include everything that we already do," he said. "The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women's fashion. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I have no idea what anyone is talking about. What is it? It's complete gibberish. It's insane. When is this idiocy going to stop?"
Good question, Larry. And since now RMS and Ellison are in agreement, do you think it's time to head for the hills?
(Fedora ambassador Larry Cafiero runs HeliOS Solutions West in Felton, California, and is an associate member of the Free Software Foundation.)
October 11, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Man, this is an interesting article. I've never thought of it from this point of view. RMS was in town exactly a week ago and he had a long chat about all the movement but he didn't mention something similar.
The way you put it and is very delightful. RMS and Larry Ellison agreeing on something ?? Yes, definitively is time to head for the hills.
October 11, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Actually, heading for the hills is exactly the solution to the problem.
No internet connection up there! 🙂
Cloud computing problem solved.
October 13, 2008 at 4:43 am
No, I really think that Ellison just doesn't know what they're talking about. Oracle isn't the database of choice for cloud computing – MySQL is. Ellison thinks it's lunacy because he doesn't control it, nor does he see how it could be profitable. Let's keep it a secret, and he can ride his little plane into the sunset while MySQL clenches the database market.
As for RMS, he sees valid security/privacy concerns. Even if you provided the source for your Web 2.0 application, you're still in control of user data. I think the privacy concerns here (ie. Facebook selling all your intimate secrets) are more of a concern than the cost considerations.

|Publication ID: Spring 2009
|Title: High-Voltage Continuous Mining Machine Standard for Underground Coal Mines
|Abstract: MSHA's July 16, 2004, NPRM (69 FR 42812) proposed to establish design requirements for approval of high-voltage continuous mining machines operating where miners work in underground mines. The rule also proposed to establish new mandatory electrical safety standards for the installation, use, and maintenance of the high-voltage continuous mining machines used in underground coal mines. MSHA published a supplemental NPRM on March 28, 2006 (71 FR 15359). The supplemental NPRM proposed and requested comments on two issues arising from oral and written comments that MSHA received during the hearing and post-hearing comment period on the NPRM. These issues involved: (1) Types of trailing cables that can be used with high-voltage continuous mining machines; and (2) a requirement to use high-voltage insulating gloves or other personal protective equipment when handling energized high-voltage trailing cables. MSHA regularly receives petitions for modifications from coal mine operators seeking permission to use high-voltage continuous mining machines. MSHA believes that, with appropriate safeguards, such machines are safe for use and routinely grants these petitions.

But is that not cause they want to monitor what is being said and done and they cant do that with these services
I remember that in the case of Facetime for iphone4, If you ask Etisalat why it's blocked they will say it's Apple that's blocking it. But if you ask Apple they'll say it's Etisalat.
What is the UEA
United Arab Emirates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So are they playing with imessage in the united states? Europe? Asia?
Etisalat is known for spying. They setup up their network in a country and then spy on the country. They were denied business in India. They again tried and were denied. They again tried and the India govt considered it but under very very strict surviellence. The company is being monitored by the India govt very closely.
If a private company is blocking the service, then it gives the government plausible deniability, right? I mean come on, why be so restrictive? Why be so afraid of new technology? I have read so many articles of how countries in that region will block services, like twitter, facebook and even text messaging, to keep the public from communicating with one another. If that ever happened in the US, it would be an outrage, people would go nuts. Since it happened in a place that is known for this type of behavior, we all just shrug our shoulders?//political rant

I actually received a pleasant email from the guy who takes care of the Anoka county parks and it looks like permits or registration or something can be done in order to place allowed geocaches in parks. More later; I need to call him up and find out details.
I strongly recommend helping him get in contact with the MnGCA directly. The primary reason the MnGCA exists is to work with park systems. The MnGCA has a lot of experience working with policy-makers and park system representatives. When the MnGCA works with the park system directly, generally park representatives end up understanding that "permits" and "registration" are usually not in the best interest of both geocachers and the park systems.
The MnGCA is here for this reason. I strongly recommend helping your contact get in touch with the MnGCA.

I called Jeff Perry and asked for more information. He said that a year and a half ago, he brought geocaching up with the board. He even went out and grabbed a cache so that the board could see what a sample hide looked like and contained. The board decided to not make any geocaching allowances in their policy and to not allow special permits for geocaches. Due to the increase in the amount of feedback received in the past month or so, he is considering bringing it back up for discussion and possibly doing a review of other park systems and how they handle geocaching.
It sounded like Jeff wanted to allow caches, but the board is the deciding factor. It also didn't sound like any type of a door was opened with this phone call. You can email him at
(replace His.Name with Jeff.Perry) or call him at (763) 767-2861.
Sorry Silent Bob, I didn't drop your name, but it sounded like he's been getting plenty of new people contacting him recently -- just give him a call.

Regarding Anoka County, as with any public entity, it's pretty easy to come up with names, phone numbers, and email addresses for holders of governmental positions such as park managers/directors or whatever.
As one of the main functions - maybe the main function - of the MnGCA is to establish and maintain relationships with these park boards and their individual managers and decision makers, the boards have always taken very seriously the responsibility to represent cachers in the state as best they could. The board this year is no different. Silent Bob updates the status of these relationships regularly so I won't go into that. I will say that it's a work in progress (starting years ago).
Besides the contacts already reported on, there are new ones underway (various stages). We have a meeting planned next week with one county, a meeting with another county is expected but not scheduled, and with Anoka County telephone contact has been made - and a plan to proceed has been discussed (between SB and J.Perry). Pretty much all of these governmental officials (including Anoka county's Jeff Perry) have stated that they receive calls from individuals periodically regarding geocaching (as is every citizens right), but that they prefer to work with organizations. I guess I can understand that. It has to be much more efficient dealing with a group than with one individual after another - each with a slightly different story.
In summary, my belief is that when dealing with governmental agencies such as park boards, it is best to have the group represented by an organization rather than one individual after another. Conversely, I also believe that each citizen has every right to talk to these agencies and their managers - it's just that our group (geocachers in Minnesota) is more likely to get a favorable result if a cohesive message is delivered. We are working as hard as possible to make contacts and negotiate positive change with as many park boards as quickly as we can.
I should note that while the board has discussed the topic of individuals making contacts, the above thoughts are my own - and not a board message.

Anoka being my "home" county was one the very first counties we ever started negotiating with back in 5/02 when we were the little fledgling organization known as GEM.
In 7/02, I personally hosted the very first ever MN event in Bunker Hills park to show Anoka county system that geocachers would generate revenue for their park system by attracting people who would not normally go there.
I met with the park director for approval of this picnic and to inform them of our plans and to ask permission for free use of all areas of the park. They were all for it and welcomed us, gave me a discount on the reservation fee and gave the permisson I needed to allow cachers all over the park instead of just our little shelter area.
KB gathered all the gate receipts for the event and presented them to the park director to show it was fiscally beneficial for them to have us there. We also carried out bags and bags of gathered trash (which was the birth of what would become the monthly CITO cache in 9/02). Even two of the rangers came by during the event to check up on us and complemented us on the actions of the cachers they had observed out in the woods.
Bobhiker and I contacted Anoka on a regular basis and had many f2f meetings with them. Even Ramsey county actively tried at one time to step in and intercede on our behalf for a geocaching policy in Anoka.
Anoka county has historically answered us with a friendly "don't ask, don't tell - wink, wink" policy every time we met with them in the earlier years..... very frustrating! Basically we were told that the caches that existed would NOT be physically removed by the county unless they were deemed a nuisance, but "officially" there would be no policy or registration. Too much dissension in the board over what geocaching would bring to the parks. Some individual parks wanted it, some didn't.
I am thrilled that Anoka has started negotiations again. It was always so irritating to me that my own county was the ONLY metro county that did not see the benefits that geocaching brought to their park system. It sounds like the present park board will be more open to adopting a policy.... this will be a nice change. Hopefully it will be in place before summer.

I emailed Anoka Parks to get the names of people to contact. My intention is to write letters to each of them. I wonder if they understand how popular this is getting, how many people and caches there are in Minnesota and how responsible geocachers are as a whole?
Here is the Meat & Potatoes of the email :
The Anoka County "Parks Committee" is composed of Commissioners Lang, Kordiak, and LeDoux (Lang is the chairperson). The Committee meets monthly, usually on the first Tuesday of the month, starting at 9:00am. The meeting location varies to different places in the Anoka County Park System. The public notice for the meeting is posted at the Government Center well in advance of the meeting so you could call, for example, during the last week of a month and learn when the next meeting will be held and where.
For further information, I recommend you contact the Anoka County Government Center's administration office at 763-323-5700. The receptionist staff can provide you with information on how to contact the Parks Committee members.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
It is a nice setting in the park. The restaurant service was indifferent, and our waitress had not been trained. The room cost too much for the value received. This hotel is more like a three star hotel than a four star. The neighborhood is sterile. The internet offering was expensive, and imposed download, upload and usage limit (how 20th century). I would not recomment this hotel to anyone.
The staff were excellent. We booked a double and intended to share with our daughter to save a bit of money, but the hotel staff gave us a n extra bed for no extra cost!
Nicest hotel in Pamplona....perfect for San Fermines if you want to sleep at night...10-15 min walk to all the action.......even the matadors stay at NH Iruna Park
Good enough breakfast. Easy free parking outside the hotel. Very good price
Wireless service was overpriced and poor quality connection. It would put me off using any nh hotel in future. I could not access my emails through a vpn as there was interference in the internet connection. This is a major negative to using the hotels again. I have used nh hotels in Vienna and Frankfurt as I go to both locations regularly on business
clean. per my expectations. 1. price for internet services is too high compared to other hotels. For example, in a Parador the charge is 2 Euros for 4 hours... 2. Location is too far from center of town.
Hotel staff got us 3 (out of requested 4) tickets to bullfight. No minimum charge for room service (just wanted coffee, and it came very quickly).
they made me pay additional 20 euros for checking out 2 hours past limit time, althougt i asked for permission the day before
Services good 10 to 20 minutes walk to the center of the city
.central location and close to good restaurants A little too expensive
Excellent service provided by front desk staff.
Comfort cleanliness and location No
location near city centre restaurants and tourists sites
Location is unbeatable. Good value for money. Small rooms, small bed.
I could not find a single fault, the staff were very friendly and efficient, location superb.
The staff+ location all the rest....The decoration is ugly and the installation are very old, it really need to be refurbish-....Mould in the bathroom, mould in the food....horible breakfast, very low and deficient internet conection
The hospitality, location and atmosphere.
good central location, excellent standard of hotel, restaurant evening meal was top quality but unbelievably cheap - 26 euros for 3 course meal inc wine.
Great location. Good prices.
It was in Pamplona Very expensive restaurant, degustacion menu only offered
Location Small, crampt room; horribly uncomfortable beds, etc.
The fact it was central to the town but because Pamplona was so attractive we did not spend much time in the hotel. No
Clean and central to the centre Restaurant is expensive
We were given a 5th floor room with good views over park to mountains. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The price for the car park was a bit high.
Price Facilities Location
I liked the convenience of location to the old town area. The nights were also very quiet which was important to me. My window was partially blocked due to improvements being made on the front terraces. So my terrace was inaccessible and I could not see out a window.
Position. Room very nice and well furnished. Not many international tv channels. Restaurant too expensive. Pay wifi connection
Helpful friendly staff, remedying minor problems (TV/computer access) within minutes. Excellent dinner in "Gourmet" restaurant, although as we were only guests eating there that evening it lacked atmosphere. Hotel's excellent situation would make me stay there again. A Menu of the day was displayed prominently in the hotel but did not seem to be available in the restaurant in the evening. The "Gourmet" menu was enjoyable but it would have been nice to have the cheaper alternative. Perhaps a misunderstanding?
proximity to the old town breakfast was very ordinary ...especially when i paid 1700 usd for 3 nights. no free internet ...big downer for that room rate , being san fermin, they gouged me hard, like a bull
Very close to the Old Town and Park. The room had a balcony overlooking swimming pool although we did not have time to use it!
Everything No
very friendly stuff, close to the city center difficult to find, thin walls - noisy in the morning
Hotel was located quite central in the nice old part of the city and staff was helpful when asked. I booked a double bed and we were given a bedroom with twin beds put together. I consider breakfast should be included in the price.
I was very impressed with the friendly and professional staff and also the location, which is in a very interesting and atmospheric part of the old city.
Close to historical centre Quite challenging to find unless you have a satnav the dining room is a converted chapel, stark white and stained glass windows. Not an intimate dining atmoshere
The staff was very friendly, and the rooms were clean. The restaurant was beautiful. Valet parking and internet were free.
Closeness to tourist places
The location of the hotel was excellent, along with the cleanliness and comfort of the room. The staff were pleasant and helpfull. We had dinner at the hotel where there was a good selection and the food was of good quality if a little too salty for our taste.
the location for the running of the bulls no spa, no gym
Location, general quality, friendly helpful staff menu offered in dining room on Monday night was very limited and the food served was of a poor quality. Staff in attendance also had limited English.
The location was very good: right inside the city walls and with their own car parking. The hotel is very new and has been furnished in a simple modern style with all amenities.
Staff freindly and clean and comfortabkle soroundings and secure parking
It is a hotel whose facilities are superior to it's class It is close to train station (10 min by taxi) but not that close/ easy to find by foot.
friendly staff,excellent value,air conditioned,and underground parking for the motorbike excellent
Very good hotel, facilities and staff were wonderful and very service minded.
It had all the mod-coms (excellent en-suite, wifi, airco, fridge) and high-quality accommodation for a very reasonable price. Extremely good value for money.
Very friendly and helpful staff, nothing seemed too much trouble and they were so very polite and always had a smile to boot!
It is comfortable and all was clean
staff very friendly and accomodation and restuarant all of a high standard and very good value for money
Easy to find and good carpark a little out from the centre of the old town, but public transport was good
Restaurant staff refused or could not speak english
Helpfulness of staff
Had good memories ofabba burgos Rooms too small. Everything is aimed to be no more than correct. A bit far away from city center
Very central in relation to hospitals. Frigo was plenty of bottles of water opened. Looks like that staff do not review with attention how previous deal with minibar ...
I had a very pleasant stay, staff were excellent and were most helpful
Located next to beautiful park, close to Pamplona center- about 10 minute by bus, quiet, well equipped rooms.
location, modern hotel, great room, nice restaurant / bar with good breakfast buffet
wi fi did not work properly.
Close to food and convenience stores. A 15-20 min walk to the old town-city hall. There is also a bus nearby. Breakfast was delicious and staff was very helpful. There is a park right across the street and it is walking distance to the bus station (25 min). AC and wifi worked great.
Very accessible, most comfortable, extremely welcoming, real value for money None
Room amenities were fantastic.
Far enough from the festivities to not feel overwhelmed with the chaos of the festival. far walk to San Fermin festival. In July it gets really hot and there is no pool or lounge area outside.
The hotel had efficient staff , who had command on several languages , as one might suspect from a hotel largely catering to business clients as well as well as tourists. The room was very good , although the views at the back of the hotel are somewhat lacklustre. Breakfast was very good, as were all the facilities, although the hotel had a somewhat cold feel. The hotel is a reasonable walk from the old town ,and in winter this might be a problem, as buses and taxis seem to dispear quite early in the evening
Excellent room and excellent air conditioning. A very central hotel in Pamplona but there are many closed streets so access is difficult. Once I found the way the staff were very attentive and helpful.
clean and modern within the old facade
Very helpful staff. Superb room. Wonderful facilities. Car was taken from outside front door to car park and returned as we left. Difficulty in finding the hotel in the car. Because of the pedestrian areas it was very complicated to get to it. However the hotel reception staff were helpful in the utmost and eventually we made it although without SATnav I suspect it would have been impossible.
Fantastic location, charming staff, lovely big rooms especially luxurious bathrooms
Welcoming and very helpful staff. The hotel is just a few steps from all the important sights of Pamplona. The best air conditioning and heating system we've come across - no noise and no draughts
The rooms were lovely overlooking the square and the staff we're accomodating The food in the restaurant was not as good as the hotel difficult to gain access by car
The fact that the bus into Pamplona stopped outside the hotel and the cleanliness of the hotel in general. On Saturday and Sunday the breakfast is served in the cafeteria which exposes non smokers to the smoke. Serving any food where smoking is allowed is a big failing on their part. The selection for breakfast is also very poor considering the charge of 9.70 euros.
I liked the bathroom facilities. The hotel room was clean. The beds were really hard. Uncomfortable. I did not sleep well at all.
The most enjoyable staff I have met. Enthusiastic about their city, cultural, and they go way out of their way to be accomodating.
Bus access to Fiesta San Fermin. Need more dining service people.
staff were very nice also our stay was during the bull run, a good bus service right outside hotel just a bit expensive during the week of the bull run
We really enjoyed our visit to the Hotel Andia. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was good and the meal we had in the dining room in the evening was excellent. We also made use of the underground garage, we didn't realise that they had one.
i enjoyed my stay, but i only slept there most fo the time i went into the city. the breakfast was good, but i think it should have been free considering the hike in the price for the San Fermine's festival i liked that the staff spoke English and helped out with my questions.
Friendly staff, clean rooms
Close to City centre, comfortable and clean.
I stayed for one night with my wife whilst making my annual visit to friends in Pamplona. I took advantage of a reduced price which was very attractive to me following the fall in the value of the pound against the euro which now makes Spanish hotels very expensive for me.
Excellent hotel & perfect for a stop off when travelling. Easy access without negotiating city centre driving. Not a negative point as such, depending on your reason for choosing this hotel, but this is a retail park location so no good if you want a night time stroll.
Can't get any room service (food) from 3:00 to 9:00 PM
Close to the highway - nice & big rooms - good staff - good choice if you are travelling from area of Saragoza to area of San Sebastian eg.
The hotel was very spacious and the staff, especially one of the ladies in the restaurant, were extremely helpful.
fantastic hotel and only a few minutes by car from the city center!
Would recommend the hotel to anyone and will return. Post code for sat nav is not for the zenit hotel it takes you 3 miles away in a field.
staff very very help full
We really enjoyed staying at the Zenith. The room was very modern and well equipped. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent.
rooms were clean, comfortable. Staff very helpful. I thought it was closer to the center. Wasn´t the best location for touring the city center, but certainly a manageable walk.
Excellent value for price I paid. Very convenient location, complimentary mini bar and afternoon lobby coffee and tea service, quality and comfort, quiet, clean and well taken care of work out room had 2 stationary bikes and weights
Very modern comfortable clean room, free mini bar, staff very helpful. The location was good, it was close enough to City centre to be able to walk in about 15 minutes, but far enough out to be quiet. Have stayed there before and would stay again. Thought the car parking at 15.50€ per night was expensive
The hotel is about 20 minute walk outside the main area of Pamplona but that was actually the best thing as you had to walk through this historical park which has all the old fortress walls and gates into the city which is just spectacular. There are also some really good deli's and bars on the street its on.The room sitself was so lovely and really clean.Staff were so helpful. I would have given anything for a pool but hey! this hotel had everything else, you can't have everything!
Helpful staff I booked a double bed and got twins.
It is a nice clean,comfortable hotel. Helpful staff. Good location very close to the university. The restaurant serves excelent food.
Staff was very pleasant and helpful in every way I have no complaints
Free minibar was excellent Couldn't check in until 12
Friendly helpful staff who spoke good English. Availablity of a garage was most welcome. Quite far out from centre of city (good 20 minute walk).
The room was comfortable, impeccably clean and modern The hotel was just too noisy for us. When we arrived at 4.00pm, the area seemed very quiet, but as of 11.00pm, things changed. The surrounding bars and restaurants started filling up and there were people in the street, talking loudly until 1.00am. At 1.30am all the restaurants started pouring their empty bottles into the recycling bins in front of the hotel. I tried to switch on the air conditioning to block out the noise, but it was not working.
Its cleanliness and superb staff made up for its lack of carparking and distance from the city centre. The hotel does not have sufficient car parking.
The design of the hotel and the staff were wonderful. It was out of the way.
We were very disappointed in the situation of the hotel on a main road with little parking. It was exceptionally expensive and I would relate it more to a roadside motorway hotel. Rooms were small. It was however very clean. Breakfast was expensive.
Good buffet breakfast, comfortable, well appointed modern rooms. Design hotel built into a former grain mill well decorated with riverside location. Staff friendly and helpful.
Liked the modern feer and the quality of the bedroom and shower.
Good experience.
Modern hotel inserted into old flour mill A bit overpriced for what you get.
Hotel is very interesting reconstruction of an old mill or as they call it flour factory. Combination of old and new is fantastic. it is situated along the river, nice bedding... I wish there were more signs to indicate the location Parking area is too small
Modern faclity and an ideal stop over on our journey fron Spain to the UK via France I wish I had been informed that restuarant faclities were reduced to sandwiches and burgers in the lounge on Sundays, especially as the hotel site makes a point re high quality chef. Still found a great restuarnat in a nearby hotel, It was a nice hotel too.!!!
comfort/services/facilities and friendly hotel staff no breakfast included
There was a flatscreen in the room. Luxureous.
The room was perfect Too far from city centrum
The hotel was clean and pleasantly decorated. Staff were fine There is no way this hotel is 3 minutes from city centre as stated, our sat nav didn't even accept it as being in Pamplona! It is 4 miles from the centre. It's location is poor, seems to be between a housing estate and an industrial site. There was very limited choice for room service even though it was only early evening and the restaurant was quite expensive.
Excellent quality - very clean accommodation, would definitely use if ever I go back again.
Just excellent - feeling at home or perhaps even better :) The only thing to mention is not on the hotel itself: if you opt for the public transport, it will cost you some 30 minutes to get to the centre, and you have to walk some 500 metres to a bus (no.4) stop. With a car or taxi, however, must be some 5 minutes indeed. Note this is not a disadvantage of the hotel itself!
Free Internet In The Lobby, Grocery Store on first level of hotel
everything its great one
Great room no Air Conditioning in our room
the apartment was spotlessly clean, well-equipped and spacious. It was an easy bus journey into the centre of Pamplona and the staff were very helpful.
the apartments are great and fully equiped. The staff were very nice and friendly.
nice size apartment, very comfortable and equipped kitchen
With no hesitation, if I ever visit Pamplona again, ah Sam Fermin hotel will be my choice. Maite, you are one of the best and most enthusiastic receptionists I had ever seen, ready to help at all times to the best of her knowledge, other receptionists are really nice and polite, but language was a real barrier for them. Reception area is small, but who needs a reception area when you have a complete small flat to stay in? Bedroom with sitting room and all facilities you may think of, except iron, are available and of best quality money can buy. Terrace adds to the advantage, especially if you are lucky enough to get one of the fifth floor suits with odd numbers, I.E. 501-503 etc. 300 m from bus station, or 8 euros taxi u can reach Pamplona Absolutely no complaint, but few points I have in minds for perfection. a wall mounted mirror might be necessary to be fixed in the entrance of the suite or within the bedroom, as the only available mirror is in the bathroom, which is not convenient to use. Ironing facilities are the only missing services from these amazing suites, with high quality quite automatic washing machine, complete kitchen facilities and wares, large size class fridge, and a microwave, missing ironing facilities may not sound right. any way despite all the aforementioned points, the suites is still one the best hotel experience I ever had in my life in terms of rooms and facilities available in the room.
absolutely superb and impressive
Beautiful new hotel in an old palace, the location was perfect for wandering around Pamplona old town.
First class accommodation with high level of service from bilingual and friendly staff that made our stay very enjoyable. The Hotel is beautifully furnished. It's very convenient location.
Perfect. From the booking to the check-out... One of my best "hotel" experience so far. We requested a baby bed through booking.com. An hour after the confirmation we received an email from the "Palacio Guendulain" telling us that the baby bed will be ready for us! In addition, our room was big, very clean, staff was nice, smiling and helpfull. This should be a 5* hotel. Maybe a better choice for the breakfast.
wonderful standard of service and comfort
location, beautiful converted palace breakfast was just ok
The fact that there was never even the hint of a complaint or a problem. Difficulty in finding it but the staff took my car and got rid of it immediately. Thank you Santiago.
The elegant decoration of the common areas and rooms, the building is an old palace refurnished. Beautiful no
If you are walking th Camino, this hotel has one fabulous offering. If you give them dirty laundry by 5:30pm , they will have it cleaned (and pressed!) and back to you by 8:30. It is not cheap, at $20 for whatever you can fit into a small plastic bag. would like them to serve breakfast BEFORE 7:00 am. At least have coffee and rolls available - the weather when we hiked was VERY hot, so an early start was critical, and we would have like to have coffee early if possible.
View, bed No
Rooms were very well furnished, it was quiet and comfortable Somewhat dusty
No Internet access
Showers were excellent Restuarant was smoking allowed we had to make special arrangements to eat in the bar and the food was very very poor.
incredible spa experience! Employees has trouble speeking english
Great location to relax in. Nice atmosphere. All hotels I've stayed in have included complimentary use of the SPA facilities. We had to pay extra to use this one and it was restricted to 2 hours. Also, no proper swimming pool seems a little strange to me in a SPA hotel with plenty of space around the grounds.
Gorraiz opened one year ago it without a doubt has the finest rooms beats even the best luxury youll find in las vegas or anywhere the entire hotel is done with exquisite taste including lobby and bar and library sitting area---the spa is superb-----the only downer was that the supposed gatronomic resto was horrible we returned our meal in a second slow cooked lamb which in spain is normally great it was inedible!!!! this hotel is owned by a family that had a large resto and catering business---they bought an old castle to do weddings and added the hotel to the side of the castle their focus seems to be weddings the day we were there they had 3 wedding parties in the castle but they seem to have no interest in serving great meals in the hotel we will say however that their breakfast included in the price of the room was the best weve ever had---the golf course right next to them is professional tour course and the hotel will get you a special price--great great htoel but dont eat in the gastronomic room--go to bar and have a sandwich----robert and dana ornsteen
Very luxurious and stylish decorated. Friendly staff. Restaurant facilities (menu & quality of food) are better than in comparable other Spanish hotels. Hotel is close to Pamplona and to the Pyrenees, also the beach (San Sebastian) is within reach. The very limited ability of the staff to speak English. Not all restaurant staff had a level of expertise that was expected for such a hotel.
Location. Smokey cafe downstairs.
Position and quality
Everything was great. The staff was very nice!
Staff was very helpful and responsive. Excellent location. Well-appointed and clean room with nice bathroom. Unloading area in front of hotel is a bus stop and only allows short stops for unloading. Parking is in municipal lot about 3 blocks away, but this is very manageable.
The staff was so friendly, during a crazy time in Pamplona. Room was as nice as a higher price room we had to stay in the next night because Yoldi was full. Very nice bathrooms. Great value-and location.
Excellent location very close to the old town, it is possibly the quietest city centre hotel I have ever stayed in, we expereinced no street noise or noise from other guests. Friendly, helpful staff.
The receptionist went out of her way to help me locate my baggage that was delayed in Madrid. She was charming and delightful.
Center of the city, nice food Nobody speak english
The hotel Yoldi is very good located in the center of Pamplona and it takes no more than 5-10 min. to get to any part of the town. Though the hotel is quite old, all the rooms are just renewed and provide all the modern fascilities. none
The room was really extremely clean. The staff were very friendly, and they allowed me to enter my room early. The hotel was close to the old town. Just a minor issue is that the strength of the wifi signal in my room could be improved, but no worries as I would definitely stay at Hotel Yoldi again.
Due to the fact that most of the gests come because of the Bull Run and have to get up early in the morning the Hotel adjusted the service (breakfast and coffee) to our needs. That was very thoughtful. The hotel is in the Industrial center, but since the shopping mall wit the restaurants is near by and the bus stop is round the corner it is not such a problem.
The room was very clean and comfortable There was no 'pay for view' available and my first language is not Spanish
Modern, clean & functional
Convenient location for shops and the motorway. Quiet hotel, with buffet breakfast included. Good value food in the evening too. Secure car parking.
Excellent location for traveling to city and to get back to highway. Very modern
Very clean & comfortable room, free wifi & car parking on-site, surprisingly quiet. Restaurante clean, functional with fairly limited but adequate menu. Only 1 bath towel in room, probably own fault should have asked for another one.
The staff were excellent, could not have been more friendly or helpful. The location is atrocious. There are no facilities there at weekends - the hotel restaurant is only open Monday - Thursday and there is nowhere in the vicinity to eat in the meantime, except McDonald´s. The bus service to town only runs every half hour. Especially given all this, the price was atrocious, representing a fourfold increase on normal rates because of San Fermin. I would not stay there again.
good, eaasy access, free internet rooms are very cold indeed
Once we found it the hotel was well above our expectations in terms of accommodation. Very quet and comfortable The food was awful in the evening - we wished we had gone out to eat rather than eating within the hotel.. Breakfast was good.
exalent hotel comfortable room fair price
This hotel is excellent, it is easy to access going on north route, The rooms are large & so comfortable with heating if needed + tv & excellent bathroom facilities. The breakfast menu is vast..When we stayed, there was no in house evening meal at the Hotel, but the adjacent restaurant provided a really good alternative eating place. We look forward to staying at this hotel again. "Well done Cross Elorz"
comfort of the room location not clearly explained... the address doesn't exist in any GPS navigator
cleanliness, friendliness, vehicle near and safe
Good, Clean, Friendly
Not much, !!!! Bathroom had a water leek, ..there was no restaurant, or anywhere to purchase food, ..had to make do with a terrible vending machine !!!! Restaurant not avalible, ...no other facilities anywhere, Hotel in the middle of nowhere, Not impressed at all....
There was only one restaurant open during the weekend & that was more of a highway rest-stop. The other restaurants in the area are only open during the week.
The hotel was modern, clean and well presented. Nothing in particular although we were a little surprised to be charged for parking in what was obviously a public car park. If it belonged to the hotel, then this was not obvious. It had no boom gate or anything else to signify it was part of the Hotel's property. We accept that it was a car park in high demand but wondered whether the other non-hotel users were also paying to park there.
Quiet and away from the mayhem of San Fermin festival in Pamplona My friends and I would have preferred that there was a bus that takes people to/from the hotel into Pamplona as taxi rides can get expensive.
It might be the last resort in case all the city hotels are fully booked. It is outside of the city - and if you have a car it is quite close actually. It is situated pretty close to the highway (not noisy though) so it is easy to find.
Good value for money but the location is not great.

About Me
- About dean_mt
- Biography
- I was born and raised in SW Michigan in a pretty typical Midwestern family. The first fishing experience I can remember was at my uncle's cottage on a lake in N MI, zebco rod and little perch. My dad restored an old Thompson rowboat when I was in H.S. and I began to spin fish for bluegills and bass on the local lakes. After setting out on my own I started fishing a small put and take trout stream outside the city I lived in. We watched guys fly fish for Great Lakes run steelhead. One morning, in my early 20s, I was at the sporting goods store with an almost still-drunk hangover I decided I should buy a fly rod. A $100 Eagle Claw set up sent me on my way. I taught myself how to fly fish. Then I taught myself how to tie flies. It wasn't until I moved to Montana a few years later that I even knew a good fly fisherman. I married a Montana woman who understands my need to fish.

last update:Oct 9, 2014
Scan the Canada Green Building Council's website for a list of completed, certified projects, and there aren't many entries for Newfoundland and Labrador.
In fact, the number of buildings certified through the CaGBC's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) in Canada's easternmost province stands at one. A house in Salmon Cove earned silver this past December.
The number stands to grow, however, as several dozen registered projects, including schools, hospitals and office buildings, edge closer to completion and green construction gains traction across the province.
Not all projects will pass the test. Sharon Cave, an architectural engineering technologist formerly with Sheppard Case Architects and now with Morrison Hershfield in St. John's, says some have run into design and construction issues, and government proponents have abandoned some certification efforts due to costs and paperwork complexities, though the buildings will still follow LEED principles of sustainable design.
Progress, Cave anticipates, will come largely on the private side.
"I see more and more commercial clients interested in pursuing LEED certification as they see the benefits of attracting tenants, as well as the improved energy efficiency achieved through sustainable design," she says.
With Sheppard Case, Cave was involved in several projects in St. John's eyeing LEED. Fortis Place, a 12-storey office tower currently under construction, is aiming for certification with ground source heating, energy-efficient lighting and sensors, electric vehicle charging stations, recycled materials, a green roof and high-performance building envelope, and plumbing fixtures that stand to reduce water use by more than a third.
Green buildings add to resiliency in disasters finds U.S. report
St. John's office project to use seawater
Another, the recently-completed Ches Penney Family YMCA, has closed-loop geothermal heating and cooling that preheats domestic water, and air handlers use waste heat from the swimming pool's dehumidifiers. Some of the building's materials are recycled and locally sourced, and stormwater is managed on site rather than directed into city drains.
However, like many green projects in Newfoundland, the YMCA project isn't registered with LEED. The budget was too tight, Cave says, though the client requested LEED be used as a design guideline.
Costs associated with certification, an issue for developers across Canada, aren't the only obstacle in Newfoundland. It's hard to source local building materials because few are extracted or manufactured here.

"Lumber is probably one of the only ones, and this is often hard to acquire in large enough quantities for commercial jobs," Cave says.
Manufacturing is also largely done out-of-province. A small amount of polystyrene insulation is made locally, but Cave says a gypsum board plant on the west coast closed several years ago and Newfoundland has no brick, carpet, tile, flooring, cladding or roofing manufacturers.
The cold, humid, wet and windy climate is also challenging, and green roofs are conspicuous by their absence. However, Fortis Place will have one, as will a 12-storey office complex and parking garage underway at 351 Water Street.
"We have nine different species of local flowers and grasses that are hardy and grow well in our climate," says Strat Barrett, the project's architect and a principal with PHB Group.
Barrett says green building is becoming the norm across Canada, and Newfoundland can expect its share of projects.
"The next level of green building is getting more into really high-end buildings such as in the Living Building Challenge. It's happening more and more in other areas of Canada and I'm sure it will eventually come to Newfoundland as well."
In the meantime, many eyes are on a cluster of buildings, including artist studios, restaurants, a cinema, a community centre and a 29-room inn underway on Fogo Island, north of Gander.
"The project is about sustainability," says Sandra Lester, a sustainability consultant with Affecting Change, a Toronto-based firm that has provided guidance to the proponent, the Shorefast Foundation.
Plans call for wood cladding sourced from local mills, as well as photovoltaics and solar hot water. However, Lester says sourcing environmentally-friendly building materials hasn't been easy.
"We tried to go as local as possible, but in the end we wanted triple-glaze, low-emissivity argon windows to increase the building efficiency. We've also tried to prioritize Canadian manufacturers over American, and a shorter distance of travel rather than a longer one."
Fortis Place, a 12-storey office complex in St. John's, Newfoundland, will have a green roof. However, only one building in Newfoundland and Labrador has received certification under Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED)

Daily Caller Would Welcome Future Columns From Secessionist Contributor
The Daily Caller would "gladly run" future opinion pieces from contributor Jack Hunter despite revelations this week of his past neo-Confederate and pro-secessionist views, a spokesperson said.
Asked if Hunter -- who has written more than 50 opinion pieces for the website in the past -- would be welcomed to write for the site again in the future, Daily Caller spokeswoman Nicole Roeberg stated via email: "He is welcome to submit an opinion piece, just like anyone else. Each piece would be judged on its own merit. If it adheres to our standards, we would gladly run it."
She also stressed: "Any submission which violates Daily Caller standards won't be accepted. Though Hunter has written many good pieces for us in the past, comments like those being talked about this week would not have met our editorial standards and would have been rejected."
The conservative Washington Free Beacon reported [1] this week that Hunter, a "close aide" to Sen. Rand Paul who also co-wrote the Kentucky Republican's 2011 book, "spent years working as a pro-secessionist radio pundit and neo-Confederate activist. Hunter was a chairman in the League of the South [2], which 'advocates [3] the secession and subsequent independence of the Southern States from this forced union and the formation of a Southern republic.'"
The Free Beacon also quoted from Hunter's South Carolina radio commentaries, delivered under the pseudonym "The Southern Avenger," in which he expressed admiration for Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth, indignation that white Americans are treated to a "racial double standard," and opposition to Spanish-speaking immigrants. Hunter reportedly "told the Free Beacon that he no longer holds many of these views," including his pro-Lincoln assassin views, but "declined to say that he no longer supports secession."
In an interview, Roeberg pointed out that Hunter had written just one piece for the Daily Caller since last August and that none of the previous articles were related to his controversial views. "He was an opinion writer, we have hundreds and hundreds of opinion writers, [and] he was never paid," she said. "All of his pieces were opinion pieces and we don't pay our opinion writers."
She later added: "None of his pieces that he ever wrote for us had anything to do with any of those views, they were all kind of just standard political issues that weren't super controversial. We never would have approved anything like that."
Roeberg said she did not know if Daily Caller editors knew about Hunter's past controversial views, adding that the news outlet had no other comment on the new revelations.
Hunter's Daily Caller archive [4] includes more than 50 pieces written between August 2011 [5] and May 2013 [6], including numerous editions of a slickly-produced, Daily Caller-branded video commentary series, "The Deal with Jack Hunter."
His most recent Daily Caller piece [7], from May 6, was headlined, "Rand Paul shatters left-right paradigm, can help grow GOP." In his written and video commentaries, Hunter also promoted the candidacy of Sen. Paul's father, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), whose 2012 presidential campaign he worked [8] for as an "official campaign blogger."
In a February 2012 Daily Caller video [9], Hunter argued "that by firing Pat Buchanan, MSNBC, Media Matters and the Color of Change have undermined free speech." The Daily Caller noted [10] that Hunter is "known by his radio moniker the 'Southern Avenger,'" and identified him as "a frequent guest on Fox Business" and the co-author of books by Sen. Paul and former Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC).
The latest revelations about Hunter's neo-Confederate past brought a rebuke [11] from one of Daily Caller's most well-known columnists, Matt Lewis, who wrote a piece on July 9 describing Hunter's comments as a "damaging staffer admission" and his past views as "very bad baggage." Lewis wrote that Hunter's presence on Paul's staff reflects poorly on the senator's "credibility and honesty -- to Paul's fundamental character."
Lewis did not mention Hunter's previous Daily Caller work and did not respond to a request for an interview.

Aloe Blacc credits Avicii's 'Wake Me Up' with success of 'The Man'
Listen to Aloe Blacc on iHeartRadio
Aloe Blacc may be "The Man" now, but before that he was featured on Avicii's enormous crossover hit "Wake Me Up."
He believes his contribution to Avicii's "Wake Me Up" has supplied his single "The Man" with the momentum to climb the charts.
In an interview with "Billboard," the singer says "Wake Me Up's" success has "primed" people to appreciate his voice as well as his songwriting skills.
With momentum building behind "The Man," Aloe Blacc is gearing up to release his third studio album, Life Your Spirit, which will make its U.S. debut on March 11th. He says the lead up to the album's release makes him feel like he's living "a whole new existence."

As a Licensed Marriage Therapist, I work with married, unmarried couples and gay and lesbian couples. While I try to meet with both people, if only 1 person presents for therapy, we still focus upon the couple relationship. Couples present for therapy often frustrated at their inability to solve their differences and feeling hopeless that things won't change. I provide them with a sense of hope by normalizing their experience, helping them work through issues, identify strengths to build upon and give them practical tools of enhancing communication, intimacy, and trust. I help them to build upon strengths and what they are doing right, and move from a negative to a hopeful perspective.

Couples counseling seeks to improve relationships, whether the problem is as mild as daily bickering or a serious as infidelity. Without blaming or taking sides, our therapists foster increased communication between couples, getting to the root of serious issues, and focusing on the positive aspects of the relationship, and the characteristics of your partner that were initially attractive.

Ground Transportation
Upon opening December 15, 1980, Beaver Creek Resort was the most environmentally sensitive ski resort ever built in North America. The resort's continued efforts have led to environmental "awareness" among resort employees, guests, residents and community members.
Beaver Creek Resort has a long-term commitment to educate each and every guest, community member and employee in his or her responsibilities to provide an active role in environmental stewardship.
As they planned the Resort and surrounding village, the resort's founders took into account how to protect the wildlife and even improve the habitat.
Before the first ski run was ever envisioned, Beaver Creek's founders and proponents had already laid the groundwork for interminable fish and wildlife habitat protection, travel management, and water and air quality guidelines. These guidelines, still in place today, resulted in the beginning of a continually improving environmental effort.
Beaver Creek is committed to Reducing, Reusing and Recycling.
Simply put, our product is the great outdoors and as such, we have a special obligation to protect the environment in which we live and work.
During the resort planning process, and prior to Beaver Creek's opening day in December 1980, resort officials and environmental planners were sensitive to vehicle traffic in and out of Beaver Creek.
Beaver Creek Resort's road maintenance crews continue to review and modify practices to maintain water quality in and around the resort and mountain.
From its inception and continuing tod
ay, Beaver Creek is committed to fish and wildlife habitat. Beaver Creek Resort's road maintenance crews continue to review and modify practices to maintain water quality in and around the resort and mountain.

Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
Thanx for reply i wil buy a laptop in my PCstore with build in linux and a working card os i hope that wil works
There is a driver to your chipset in realtek web page, although it is not known if driver support native monitor mode and injection.
As sickness informed you, you might want to take a look at the aircrack-ng site and see if there is any "patch" for the driver and for kernel >=3.0.x.
I'll give you an advice: If you want something that work "out of the box" use usb devices. Search wiki and forums for compatibility.
It is a usb device...
i did already go to aircrack-ng website but nothing helps
do you check the usb wifi connected or not? try lsusb first
Happy hunting!!
Were you able to fix problem?..Please post. Do not leave a post open, just write {SOLVED}. Many people is trying to help without knowing if you already solved your issue.
I can help but again, just post the status of your issue.
Do not make other people spend their time in something SOLVED, if applicable.
Thank you.
He may or may not have fixed the issue, I however have not. I am having the same problem, a RTL8191SU chipset. Some had a similar issue with the RTL8192SU chipset, which actually uses the same module, r8712u. However, despite following the instructions found here the same does not seem to work for the RTL8191SU chipset.
I should also mention, while Realtek does have a driver on their website for Unix/Linux, it seems to be compatible up to the 3.0.2 Linux kernel, when attempting a make command on the driver, it errors out, I am not good enough with scripting to figure out why, yet.

2009 GMC Acadia Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2009 GMC Acadia based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Vehicles with certain V6 engines may illuminate the Check Engine Light one or more of the following codes: P0011, P0014, P0021, P0024, P0341, P0346, P0336, or P0391. Our technicians tell us that some vehicles may require a powertrain control module (PCM) software update to correct this issue. Other vehicles may have excess camshaft end play on one or both cylinder heads which will need to be corrected using special procedures outlined by GM.
Brake fluid can become dirty and may cause problems in the brake system; it should be flushed every 60,000 miles.
Vehicles with a 6speed automatic transmission may develop one or more of the following faults related to a broken 35R clutch wave plate inside the transmission: Illumination of the Check Engine Light with code P0716, P0776, P0717, P0777, P2714, P2715, and/or P02723, loss of reverse gear, slipping or harsh 3rd or 5th gear shift. Removal and dis-assembly of the transmission will be required to replace the broken 35R wave plate. It is also extremely important that all debris from the failed part be cleaned from the transmission while it is disassembled in order to try and prevent future problems.
A Loose or worn gas cap may cause Check Engine Light to illuminate.
You may be able to prevent transmission problems by servicing the transmission and inspecting the fluid every 30,000 miles. If the fluid is dark or burned then the transmission system should be completely flushed.

I am Beyond, a movable, frameless glass wall system, and I live up to my name in many ways.
View Larger
Who are you?
I am Beyond, a movable, frameless glass wall system, and I live up to my name in many ways. I let those in today's crowded workplace enjoy a sense of privacy with a view beyond the enclosures that separate them.
Where are you from?
I was conceived in Montreal, but am now a
thoroughbred American from Muscatine, Ia.
Who in your family do you most resemble?
I am actually so different from the rest of my family of workplace furnishings that we've sprouted a whole new branch on the family tree—architectural products.
Aside from sugar and spice and everything nice, what else are you made of?
Just because I'm made of glass, doesn't mean I'm fragile. I'm tough enough to hold privacy tiles
and shelving—how about that? With skin ½-inch thick, I'm also super soundproof, with the sound transmission class (STC) rating to prove it.
What are your biggest turn-ons?
Providing solutions for architects and designers who are responsible for creating productive work environments.
Being stuck in one place! This baby was meant to be moved freely, and reconfigure whenever and wherever needed.
If you were stranded on a deserted island
and could only have three things, what would they be?
I would hope to be fitted with the optional eraser board privacy tile and a marker so I could sketch out an SOS message.
What inspires you?
The great mind of my designer, Eberhard Von Huene. They call him the "wall guru" because
he has invented and pioneered the category of movable glass walls almost singlehandedly—it's practically been his life's study.
How do you lessen your environmental impact?
I can help meet LEED requirements with all the light I let in (cue heavenly choir sound effect). And, since I'm built to last and meant to stay awhile, I can reduce construction costs and waste. Not to mention, solar energy powers my production.
In what type of interior environment do you make the greatest impact?
I'm designed for spaces with ever-evolving needs—places with fluctuating staff numbers and constantly edited floor plans. My unitized, non-progressive wall panels maximize efficiency by transforming an open plan to a row of private offices, and vice versa, with astounding speed.
Describe the secret to your success.
It's no secret—I'm transparent. My adaptability puts me ahead of the competition when it comes to customization, and my proprietary built-in scissor lift takes me above and beyond what other movable glass walls deliver.

GAMBIER, Ohio – After 40 events, day two of the Total Performance Invitational hosted by Kenyon College comes to close with the University of Pennsylvania men swimming team surged ahead to capture first place. With one more day of swimming to go, the Quakers are on the right track to close out 2013 with a win.
The first men's event, 200 free relay, was another pool and meet record broken this weekend. Breaking the record was the Red and Blue "A" team, after dropping three seconds and touching the wall first at 1:23.02. Seeded second, the "A" team – sophomore Eric Schultz, junior Dillon McHugh, junior Chris Lyons, senior Rhoads Worster – defeated the number one seed, Kenyon, by 1.57. The Penn "B" team – freshman Zach Fisher, freshman Jimmy Jameson, sophomore Kevin Intrieri, junior Sam Ruddy – placed seventh, dropping 0.73 to a time of 1:24.27.
Worster kept the speed at a high and broke the pool and meet record in the 200 fly with a time of 1:47.38. He entered the meet with a time of 1:51.67 and swam 1:47.57 for first place in prelims, dropping a total of 4.29 seconds.
For his second individual event win, Worster broke another pool and meet record in the 100 back. He dropped 1.31 from his entry time of 49.95 to 48.64, for the win. McHugh, who came in 0.31 behind Worster, dropped 2.18 and touched the wall at 48.95, for a second place finish.
Breaking yet another pool and meet record was the 400 medley relay "A" team – McHugh, Yu, Worster, Schultz – with a time of 3:13.43. The Red and Blue "A" team finished 5.41 seconds before the first seed, Kenyon "A" team, and shaved off an impressive 9.37 seconds from their entry time (3:22.80).
Penn also took a first place finish in the 100 breast, swam by sophomore Kyle Yu (54.49), and a first place tie in the 50 free, swam by Worster and Schultz (20.37).
Action resumes on Saturday morning with preliminary races beginning at 9:30 a.m. Diving sessions will begin at 1 p.m. and the championship and consolation finals will begin at 5:30 p.m.
