low price. Clean room. nothing
Easy free parking out front. Pleasant desk clerk. Nice terrace overlooking river for breakfast. Price very reasonable with inclusive breakfast. Air conditioning in room didn't work (not sure it was actually installed, but there was a control switch for it). Beds a bit small.
Too strong a smell of room deoderiser, but went quickly with the window open.
Breakfast,location close to Torino You cut off the air conditioning and it was still hot
Simplicity and comfort Payment for parking
a quite hotel with beautiful view and kind staff
The hotel is near the Po river and in a sunny day i think it woulk look very nice. the breakfast was terrible; not enough food and the existent food was bad. I even tasted what seemed to be an alterated apricot juice.
Some of the staff were great,but one blonde lady was very surly. The renovatins leading to lack of computer usage.
The location is in a very nice locality near Torino. A quite hotel with beautiful view and kind staff The room was not so clean and furniture very old. Breakfast was enough but not so qualitative. If the hotel will be renovated it mybe excelent
Quiet. Functional. Easy access via bus to Turin. Breakfast wasn't good and certainly not "American style" as advertised.Decor of gf could do with up grading
It is a big hotel, rooms are comfortable, as we are visiting a client there, it is just next door to our destination, so it is fantastic. Price also good. Reception are very friendly and cooperative. THe location is for factories and offices; so if you are for tourism, it might not be so convenient for you. It is around 30 Euro by taxi to the city center.
kindness of staff
Excellent and professional staff, very comfortable rooms. The hotel gives a general feeling of cleanliness and good organization rooms are not sound proof
Time I spent in town away from the Hotel. Everything, really depressing place to stay.
Great value for money, the staff were very friendly and helpful (especially Jessica who smiled all the time and was super-efficient). The breakfast was very good despite being a Euro-brek not catering for us Brits, i.e. no bacon and eggs! Very clean and tidy, nice rooms, far better than other more expensive hotels in the area that I've stayed at. The only downside is that it's a couple of miles out of town in a light industrial area, but if you're mobile don't let that put you off. The airport shuttle is a tad pricey at 60 euro but it is about 45 mins from Turin airport.
Modern cozy business hotel, care staff and good breakfast. No
Vast breakfast and good restaurant (restricted menucard) a towel of previous visitor found in the bathroom.If you book this hotel you certainly need a car.
Clean, excellent beds, friendly staff, good value for money Really bad indicated. We hardly found the location!!!!!
A very high standard throughout
Nice historical building, beautifully redesigned
Style and service lack of restaurant options and no leisure facilities
It's at the Lingotto!!! Chocolates in the room as it was our honeymoon. Reception staff excellent. Not a hotel for holidays more set up for business users.
Being able to walk on the roof and actually be in the Fiat Factory Parking, access from car park to hotel with heavy bags was poor.
the young lady at the reception on saturday morning was exquisite - her manners and communication skills should make your hotel proud - you are very lucky of having her with you
Some "non-smoking" rooms are used by smokers. The hotel staff appeared to be unaware of this
Well decorated,good breakfast,helpful staff...
The room was huge but too warm. We had to open the windows to cool the place down. We only booked because of the use of the building for the Italian Job film. Didn't realise the location was a fair walk to the Piazza's. No reference to the film in the hotel reception or any of the literature in the room. We did ask for access to the roof and this was not a problem.
Rooms are quite spatious, as well as the bathroom, parking comfortably located TV is quite old
great Hotel in a great location with an extremely professional and friendly staff
Hotel staff is really kind and they helped me a lot. Spacious room, very clean bathrooms and very central location (just 1 min walk from Porta Susa station where there is the stop of airport bus lines also. I definitely suggest this hotel.
The hotel was very convenient for Turin's Porta Susa station which was directly opposite. We had a large room and once we had asked for softer pillows it was comfortable and quiet. Although old fashioned this hotel was very good value for money and the breakfast was excellent.
Hotel located very close to the airport bus route. Pleasant staff. Rooms clean and well maintained. Not a very central location. No tea/coffee making facility provided.
Friendly staff an for Italy they offer a satisfiable breakfast Coffee at breakfast for Italy pretty worse
Location Everything was OK.
The friendly helpful staff and the position so close to the railway station.
Space, bathroom No internet in the room
The fact that I could have my dog with me in my room. The breakfast was mediocre.
Location, staff friendliness
Near Porta Susa Train Station Clean room Good breakfast Helpful, friendly staff Bed/pillows not so comfortable Slight smell in room Older decor Tiny shower
Excellent location, fair price / quality ratio
Proximity to my meeting place 1) The room was smelling bad. 2) When I asked if the room had internet connection the answer was YES and no further information about how was given ... Thus I had to go upstairs to find out that I had to buy a special card and then come down again to buy one ...
The garage Hospitality and Reception staff
Good value for a weekend break for quality hotel. Secure parking good breakfast buffet. Whilst close to Metro only takes you to train station which is still a 15 minute walk to centre. Parking expensive a t 22 euros a night. Too far to walk to town and then explore. Noisy from traffic as on main street.
the breakfast and size of room the noice on the street during the night
The hotel is very convenience with bus/tram stop in front of hotel lobby and metro station Vinzaglio is right in the corner of the block (50m away). Good breakfast with 5 different flavors of fresh baked croissant. Free lobby WiFi (It's 30min per section. You can ask for multiple section). - The lobby entrance steps were not easy for people traveling with large or heavy luggage. Especially just went through Airport Express->DoraFly->metro with show display stuff in my luggage. - Phone inside the room doesn't have notes/signs about how to dial between rooms nor international calls. - Bathtub drain problem was really bad
taxis in front of the hotel
Friendly and helpfull staff. Excellent Restaurant
location none
The quality and location of the hotel Because I mistakenly thought I had paid for the hotel in advance, the female receptionist made me feel like I was refusing to pay the bill.
the staff was great, and so were the rooms we chose the hotel because we thought it was in walking distance from downtown. In reality it was not as we arrived at a different train station. But it worked out pretty well as there is a bus just in front of the hotel and we were downtown in a matter of minutes. The people at the hotel were just great!
We preferred this hotel over competition because of the indoor pool, which unfortunately was closed.
Location - excellent; price for 3 nights excellent (third of what is quoted as usual price per night); quiet; wonderful view of Torino from 6th floor room; luxury room with excellent en-suite and service was excellent with many excellent nibbles with tea and bar.
That you do feel welcome from all of the staff especially those in the bar.
The quite unique realized dream of an art déco-hotel, with all details in excellent function and fashion.
Located in excellent point, high quality rooms, very comfortable During breakfast there is no tea on the self service table, the waiters are not asking what do we need
Great location! Found a great price for my stay for business. Would stay here every time Im in Turin.
Exceptinally central and very good service
room The recommendation for a local restaurant - it was terrible
we enjoy there because of our best locaton . it"s restaurant was cusy and the food was delicious with nice design .
It has the best location in Turin, i had amazing time with friends I think it was the best experience for me in Italy. I was surprised by the Italian law of iron, i was shocked when the receptionist told me that I can't have an iron because it was by the law plus I wasn't informed earlier about it.
I have been upgraded in a suite. Excellent. Lobby unpersonal and not welcoming
good location
I was unhappy with the room, however the girls at the desk say it is the most asked for room. Too small and close for me. Breakfast was good and the location could not have been better. The staff were able to book be and extra night without too much fuss.
Price, staff, bar, proximity to train station. Wireless internet was not free.
Very good location to the main Turin railway station, airport bus stop, city buses and trams. Room was very clean, breakfast really good, staff friendly
Very good location, tasty breakfasts, friendly staff. For this value of money the hotel is good.
Excellent quality and location for the price. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast adequate. The BBC News 24 channel was on the blink and the bread rolls on the Sunday had seen better days.
If you only want to sleep this hotel is a perfect choice.
the location but the excellent service, from the breakfast buffet as well as spotless room and the tiny service of soaps, liquid, bar fridge and towels. furthermore the staff is always so attentive and helpful.
The hotel is clean and near rail station and good breakfast. We are very glad of our staying in this hotel.
right in Porta Nuova and easy access to most of the highlights of Turin I mistakenly chose to have the room with 2 beds, and they were really tiny beds. What I needed was one reasonably sized bed because I was by myself.
Very clean
The location in the city center of Torino.Breakfast was good. Cleanliness was bad, especially the dust on the walls.Staff was too noisy when they started closing the breakfast room at 10 am. Price of the room 125€ is a little bit expensive regarding the offer.
Close location to the city centre, good breakfast and silence in the room.
Comfort and peace
We had a brilliant stay at the hotel really pleased with the room and the location was brilliant, the balcony was a added bonus where we sat in evenings to watch the world go by. Breakfast was excellent with loads to choose from.
good location with ease acess to many attraction areas no available bussiness office and no internet facility outside the room
very spacious rooms, huge bed, comfy robes and slippers. great location close to shops and major piazzas
Good location. Friendly staff
I appreciated the friendly staff, good breakfast and great location. I was disappointed in the very expensive internet facilities and would recommend the hotelgroup to change this because it is a unnecessary negative.
comfort/ budgets; regular breakfast/ perfect location for our main. no problems
Convenient location near the main train station in (Torino Porta Nuova) and on the edge of main city shopping and museum district Energetic staff willing to help Nice views from top floor rooms One staff member was new to the hotel and gave a number of wrong information details which caused us some issues, but she worked hard to correct the issues once discovered. Wireless internet was slow and disconnected frequently Have to put door keycard in slot once in room to turn on all all power and heating/cooling, so room was quite hot after returning from a day out and took quite a while to cool once returned - no way to have the AC on enough to keep it from getting super hot w/o leaving a key card in it all day long. Also unable to charge electronics when not there *everything turns off*. This was common in many rooms we used in Switzerland and Italy
the proximity of the hotel to the train station - it was important for me to get to the station as soon as i could in the morning, so this was very beneficial. There were hardly many advertisements on locals for medium priced to higher priced restaurants & pubs.
Kindness of staff, location just in front of central station. Breakfast was poor, not enough sweet cakes.
The breakfast The parking was a nightmare, I own an expensive Maserati and was told by the reception that the only parking they could offer was any one of three independant garages who pack in as many cars as they can. Not in the least reasurring when then person running the garage says ' give us your keys and I'll try and squeeze it in later'
For our purposes the hotel was perfect. We enjoyed our stay and felt like honored guests. Nothing. Everything was fine.
i liked the proximity to the station. The buffet breakfast was excellent and i liked the fact that i saw a well known australian football coach having breakfast one morning. The hotel needs renovation on the inside as everything is worn out and lets a beautiful hotel down. Coffee making facilities would have been nice.
Convenience - ideally located
nice location and value for money
Good service and excellent buffet breajfast
I was upgraded to a better room for free. Room was too cold.
Great staff and fitness room open 24 hours a day furnitures a little bit old
The hotel is in the centre of Torino, just opposit Puerta Nouva. The bed was fantastic, you have the possibility to choose between different pillows.Bathroom was quite big. The room I stayed at need renovation (carpet).
Location Not four star level. No soul
Polite manner to guests no room internet connections, poor delivery of messages
Clean, Fiendly staff and central location.
The hotel is really well located. I was able to do early check-in at 11 a.m. There is free of charge mineral water in the minibar. For early leavers (before the breakfast starts) they offer coffee and snacks in the bar next to the lobby. The climate control in the room was extremely loud. I went to breakfast room some 20 min before the end time and notices that they just removed the empty plates instead of filling up them with additional food.
Very Central, next to trainb station and subway. Clean, Nice Staff, Would Stay Again
The location and its proximity to Porta Susa is particularly important for train travellers. Via Cernaia, where it is located, is one of Torino's many colonnaded streets which is very useful when the weather is inclement, or even when it is very sunny, and is close to many cafés and restaurants. The weather, but the hotel cannot be responsible for that and its location mitigated the situation.
Good location No iron available, lifts wereonly big enough for 2 people with little luggage. Bathroom was tiny, were told on arrival that restaurant closed at 11.30, when we went to order at 11.10 we were told it was closed.
comfort of hotel,buffet free
Conveniently located hotel with everything you need - including free WiFi.
Location and value for money.
very fine.
the design of the hall and dining room is super. Jogging on the roof of FIAT fantastic
breakfast and staff friendliness The price of the room was high
The breakfast in the morning, the help at the front desk. At ties the music in the dinning area was too loud.
Large comfortable room with good food.
Yes,for three days the aircondition unit in the room was not working.it was jammed at 27.3 degree. Despite the calls to the reception. The general manager was supposed to sent me an opology note and some sort of compensation yesterday 28 sept.i ask you to follow up this note..
The Room Ceiling Height I am frustrated still waiting for your hotel to unblock my credit card!!! Please help!!!!
Hotel staff, Architectural design
The staff was helpful, though usually late when you ask for something. To be honest, they try their best, but it is not always enough. I booked a delux room. However, when I got there, they said that all rooms are delux and the same. The room is really bad and the design is awful. Walls are white and you can see black stains here and there
MRI Course They do not provide Iron.
excellent location, the presence of a hammam bath, good breakfast I would like to get a better cleaning the bathroom
This is a very attractive, modern hotel with comfortable, well-equipped rooms and helpful staff. The location is only minutes from the city centre, the palaces and the shopping areas. The hotel has its own high-security section in the underground carpark next door. Although the staff were very helpful, we got the impression that they were under a certain amount of pressure at times. Two of the lights in our room were not working and, despite reporting this on the first day, the problem was not dealt with
location, facilities, ambiance the hotel staff were very poorly trained for a hotel of that quality
interior design, staff service, hammam service
The colours and total design of hall/stairs is really nice, easy to climb and enjoy ! Breakfast tasty and varied. One doesn't need a new toothbrush every day. Difficult to get temperature in room below 22 C.
clean, city center, size of the room, breakfast, design, facilities, very good service. I got an upgrade for a small suit.
excellent quality of bedding, nice spacious room, functional design, very good location, superb architecture
Quite new hotel, very confortable rooms, and nice taste. Service staff very pleasant.
Hotel position is a big plus. It is in the historical centre of Torino , but very quite.
situation, room was quiet atmosphere
The Golden Palace was beyond our wildest expectations, its a beutiful hotel with the very best of facilities and the staff cound not be more helpful and kind. We have traveled widly and found that the Golden Palace is one of the very best Hotels we have ever stayed in. We canot recommend this hotel highly enough.
Good staff, pleasant room and bathroom, generally well-run. There is some very bad art.
Room is as described. Very comfortable and hotel very well located. Staff was friendly and helpfull
very central and modern the architectural design and the colours are "peculiar" - all very dark... remembers the movie "Shining", just the child with the bicycle missing...quite expensive in general
I really enjoyed my stay at the Golden Palace, the room was fantastic!!!!! I was disapointed that the pool was shut during summer time for maintenance, bit ridiculous during hot season
Friendliness of Bar staff, Spa area, late checkout We had to move room at 1am as the heating control was not working at the room was much too hot
It's modern and clean and maintains a high standard Not really
Friendly and generally helpful staff
big room in modern style, mostly indifferent staf, good location, nice spa
The breakfast was excellent, especially as compared to the Italian hotel 'standards'
Helpful hotel staff, safe and comfortable garage, good service, clean rooms. Location is not the best but fair close to the center
Very courteous staff. A few of them spoke English and those who did not tried to be responsive as possible Better restaurant hours. I only had breakfast there the restaurant was closed often. Comfort- the rooms were very cold and the heat did not adjust. The bathroom was warm. (smile)
Internet connection for 14E total for the whole stay up to 15 days. Nice secured underground parking, however additional fee 10E per night. There's a food shop next to the hotel. There is an open terrace for breakfast, if weather is OK. Generally nice hotel for reasonable price, as for Italy. The location is not very good for sightseeing.
parking, breakfast
Location. No bars open.
The hotel is very comfortable. Its location made it possible for us to walk all around the central part of the city - we did not use the transport at all! The room was very comfortable, modern and really made us feel at home. The staff was professional and friendly, we received all the help we asked for. We have just completed our vacation in Italy, and this was undoubtedly one of the best hotels we stayed in. It is also rather inexpensive, especially compared with the hotels in the lakes' region, that are, from our experience, much less comfortable and significantly more expensive. We enjoyed this hotel greatly and were really sorry to leave.
The people in the reception, were so helpful, kind and friendly.... The short walk to the city center was max 15 min... for us no problem, The parking was super if you have a car that is packed and do not want to take everything with you.
The hotel is close to the downtown, quite enough, clean and it's easy to park the car Expensive extras
Nice and comfortable rooms. Great bathroom and mattresses. Includes parking place. Not close to city center, but taxi reacheable for 8 euros.
good location, nice staff, clean room, good breakfast, very quiet. A supermarket very close for different necesities. We would like to have restaurant for the lunch.
GREAT LOCATION! beautiful room. quiet, clean, big! the ugliest doors I have seen in a hotel! and weird lobby layout/decor + sometimes "family style" service but courteous and responsive. not practical if you have a car. strange layout of breakfast room leaves everyone sitting tightly around a huge table.
Helpful & friendly staff Bvlgari bath products not for bookings made via booking.com. Lack of privacy: one big table in stead of separate tables in the breakfast room; Big window in the bathroom with Venetian blinds (not closing well) looking out on a courtyard – the other apartments around the courtyard can most likely see the bathroom…
personal touch, location and ambience
The location of the hotel is ideal for those who need to stay close to all city's amenities and main centers of business I found the single room somehow poor in terms of comfort and quality of the furniture, especially considering the price paid for its rent
the central possition of the hotel
The location and breakfast. One girl at the front desk was very rude when we first arrived. We had been walking for hours in the rain with our loaded backpacks and just wanted to check in and lie down. I couldn't believe the attitude we got. Luckily, we didn't see her for the rest of our time there.
the location in the historic part of the city , the design of the rooms and lobby . the lack of service , parking far from the hotel . nobody to help you with luggage or to park the car .
Nicely designed and big room. Breakfast was rich in variety and well prepared. The spot is perfect since it is on the city center.
Excellent location, nice decor. Breakfast could have been better.
It is a great hotel with a perfect location central in Turin. The breakfast is very nice. So was the room with a comfy bed that had a duvet and not only blankets. I had booked a single room but they upgraded me to a delux double room free of charge. There was only few non-italian tv stations and they were all either sports- or news channels.
Very large comfortable room, excellent facilities, more 5 star than 4 star.
kind personel
comfort of rooms, central position of hotel
The free breakfast was terrific and featured gluten free bread and pastry. The bed was comfortable and the price was right.
comfortable and warm room. The bed was a bit hard
Beds Nastiest people I have ever met and the internet in the room was slower that dial up. I had to go into the hallway
The hotel was in a very handy location to the shops, cafe's & restaurants, they were all within walking distance of the hotel. Also the room was very nicely furnished and clean and the internet was very easy to access in the room.
friendly reception staff, nice room, large selection at breakfast The bathroom was a bit old and not as nice as the room. It would have been nice to have a make-up mirror in the bathroom. Also the door knob on the bathroom door was different than any I've ever seen. If you close the bathroom door, you cannot open it without pushing a button on the door knob even if it's not locked! I spent 15 minutes in the bathroom trying to figure out how to get out. I should have told the reception, but I forgot about it. It would be a good idea to have a sign on the inside of the door. The breakfast was very nice but the room was very small. The staff is trained to clear the tables immediately because the room is so small and when we got up to get more food our table was cleared and almost given to someone else.
Lovely hotel, very clean with large rooms, staff excellent air con not too good and hot/warm water not in much suply

Consistency, or lack of it, has been a big problem for the Chiefland High girls varsity basketball team this season.
Chiefland played well earlier last week against Dixie County, but the Lady Indians took a step backward last Thursday, Jan. 17, against visiting Newberry.
The Lady Panthers avenged an earlier loss to Chiefland with a 46-21 victory.
The Lady Indians saw their record dip to 1-15.
Chiefland tied the game at 4-4 after a basket by Jerrica Grimsley, but Newberry led the rest of the way. It was 9-4 after one quarter.

WATCH: Jennifer Hudson chokes up onstage after receiving very special award
Listen to Jennifer Hudson on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Jennifer Hudson has received many awards over the duration of her career, but it was clear that the one she received Wednesday at Vh1's Do Something Awards meant something very special to her.
The singer was honored for her work with the Julian D. King Gift Foundation, a charitable organization named in honor of Hudson's young nephew, who was murdered in 2008--along with Hudson's mother and brother--by her brother-in-law.
The foundation was established to help provide children of all backgrounds with stable and positive experiences in order to help them grow into productive adults. Every year, Hudson and her sister Julia host a "Hatch Day" event in which school supplies, clothes, and other necessities are handed out to kids in need. The name of the event was Julian's own idea, and is in reference to "hatching" children's dreams.
Before calling Hudson to the stage to accept her award, presenter Ne-Yo played a moving video showing happy and grateful families talking about how the organization made a difference in their lives.
Hudson watched the clip with tears running down her face before taking the microphone. "I wasn't going to cry, but I'm a crybaby so I can't help it," she noted, then became even more choked up. "It's one thing to be a celebrity, but it means nothing if you can't help somebody. If you can't make a difference."
Hudson went on to dedicate the award to her sister, whom she explained is 100% hands-on with the charity and chooses all the school supplies herself in honor of her late son.

Anvil, Raven + More to Play Rock N' Roll Heaven + Old Bridge Metal Militia Sandy Benefit
Anvil, Raven and several other bands are the latest to pitch in to help out East Coast fans in the aftermath of last year's Superstorm Sandy. The acts will take part in Rock N' Roll Heaven and the Old Bridge Metal Militia's planned reunion and charity benefit taking place in Freehold, N.J., this coming May.
Rock N' Roll Heaven was a record store owned by MegaForce Records founder Jon Zazula, while Old Bridge Metal Militia were a collective of metalheads that helped out young bands in the early stages of metal. Both were key entities in the building of the metal scene in New Jersey in the '80s and '90s, and are using their brand names to help bring attention the event. The show will feature Anvil, Raven, the Rods and Lords of Mercy playing the Encore Event Center in Freehold, N.J., on May 11.
'That Metal Show' host Eddie Trunk will emcee the event, and those attending are asked to bring canned or non-perishable food items for a food drive that will help out local soup kitchens and shelters.
Rock N' Roll Heaven's founders Jon and Marsha Zazula stated, "It's really great to bring the Militia together again and we look forward to seeing all of the old faces and new faces, both young and old. We've already heard that fans are coming in from Germany and even up from Florida. They don't even know the lineup yet, that's how cool this is! We can't wait to bang with the best of them for this really good cause."
Anvil's Steve "Lips" Kudlow adds, "Doing this gig in New Jersey is exceptionally special to Anvil. We are expecting to see many of the original people we met back in '82 when we played the Route 18 Flea Market. We have remained close friends through the metal ages … We look forward to our moments together. See you all soon."
Tickets will be available at this link.

Of Course Torture Works
Silly rabbit; treating your captive as a guest may be more effective at actually getting, you know, intelligence, but that hardly means that it works as effectively at torture. You see, the misconception here is that torture is designed to elicit information. In fact, torture (in the contemporary American context) is designed to demonstrate masculinity and Will; to sort of those who are "serious" about protecting America from those who aren't. Simply demonstrating that torture doesn't produce good intelligence can't reduce its political attractiveness, because after all eliciting information was never the point.
Torture: It sorts the real heroes from the girly men like nothing else.


text: Do you remember when Justin Bieber got arrested for DUI in Miami and everyone got all excited that he would spend time in jail? Then there was the original plea deal which would have had him plead guilty to reckless driving and get randomly drug tested for one year to coincide with his probation. Now, prosecutors are willing to drop the drug testing requirement. I don't think he is done though. That case is so weak he might take it to trial. Here is the thing. What always got Lindsay Lohan in trouble? It was having to deal with probation. Basically you can't get in trouble. You can't get arrested. Nothing. Lindsay would get into trouble and then have her probation extended and would have drug testing added to the probation order which would get her in more trouble. She has spent the past decade on probation. I don't think Bieber can keep his nose clean for a year. He is such a terror right now that he will get arrested for something. It is inevitable and then his probation will be extended or yanked and he will go to jail. His best bet is to try and make it so he has no probation.

Allison Janse and Dr. Charles Gerba Present THE GERM FREAK'S GUIDE TO OUTWITTING COLDS AND FLU
Most Americans, whether they admit it or not, have a little Howard Hughes in them: 50% of women won't sit on a toilet seat without a paper guard. And while we make fun of the lead character in the TV sitcom, Monk, these freaks are the ones who are laughing as the rest of the population sniffles away in bed during germ season (which is actually all year).
In The Germ Freak's Guide To Outwitting Colds And Flu: Guerilla Tactics to Keep Yourself Healthy at Home, at Work and in the World (HCI Books -- $11.95), Allison Janse-a committed Germ Freak-and Dr. Charles Gerba (Dr. Germ) give us the lowdown on how to avoid The Common cold and survive flu season with your health and sanity intact. Dr. Gerba has appeared regularly on Good Morning America, Dateline, CNN News and 60 Minutes as well as in national magazines and newspapers.
The book is the perfect mix of science meets suburbia: the microbiologist and the mom. While he's swabbing surfaces around the globe to detect dangerous germs, she's trying to discern whether the crust on her couch is Play-Doh or poop. This is the practical information your doctor won't give you (they always say not to worry and may be giving you the latest bug by not washing their hands when they examine you!) but which you're dying to know, such as:
How clean is my office desk? (It's better to eat off a toilet seat)
Do I have to shake that snotty person's hand?
• Are my hygiene products killing me?
• How do I get out of a public restroom without contamination?
• What is the best way to wash my hands?
• Am I the only germ freak in America?
• Why didn't anyone tell me about The New Respiratory Etiquette?
Key Features:
• Janse is the mother of twins, a boy and a girl, and Dr. Germ is a frequent guest on national television worldwide (recently on The Today Show).
• Illustrations, quizzes and sidebar trivia make it a great impulse gift purchase for that Germ Freak in your life-whether you're seriously trying to help or making fun of them!
• Simple, practical tips to keep readers healthy in a variety of places-at home, at work, the health club, restaurants and eek...airplanes!
• Sidebars profile the efforts of other Germ Freaks, many of them famous, to spread the gossip of cleanliness.

"Oz the Great and Powerful" opens with Oscar "Oz" Diggs (James Franco), a self-centered small-time carnival magician and would-be ladies' man in Kansas more than a century ago. He tries to woo young women by including them in his shows, just as he tries to con the meager profits out of his assistant, Frank (Zach Braff). As the show is about to begin, Annie (Michelle Williams), perhaps the one woman Oscar truly loves, comes to tell him another man has asked her to marry him. She … [Read more...]

Doan Committed to Removing Barriers for Small Businesses
April 18, 2007
Contact: Katharine Uhre, (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – Removing bureaucratic barriers for small businesses is among her top priorities, the head of the U.S. General Services Administration recently told the House Small Business Committee.
"As a native of New Orleans and a former minority small business owner, I am committed to removing bureaucratic barriers to small, women, service-disabled veteran, Hubzone and minority businesses, " said Administrator Doan, speaking at the House Small Business Committee hearing, "Participation of Small Business in Hurricane Katrina Recovery Contracts" on April 12 at the Louisiana Supreme Court in New Orleans.
"Retooling GSA's ability to respond in national emergencies and disasters is one of my top priorities, and infusing small businesses into this process is essential," said Administrator Doan. "We can do more. We need to do more. And as long as I am Administrator, we will do more."
Administrator Doan's testimony not only discussed the work GSA undertook in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina but also the personal efforts she spearheaded to open doors to small businesses in New Orleans. These initiatives included restoring one of GSA's most historic properties, the U.S. Customs House, which currently includes small, minority and local-based companies performing sub-contracting work there.
Headed by Chairwoman Rep. Nydia M. Velàzquez (NY), the committee also heard testimony from Small Business Administration Administrator Steven Preston; U.S. Department of Homeland Security Under Secretary for Management Paul Schneider; U.S. Department of Defense Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology Dr. James I. Finley; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Commander and Chief of Engineers Lt. Gen. Carl A. Strock; and, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Assistant Secretary for Policy, Planning and Preparedness Adm. Patrick Dunne.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 205,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and eGov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? After Hurricane Katrina, 71 percent of contracting dollars ($486,359,779) went to small businesses. In total, 68 percent of contract actions were awarded to small businesses.

A master who lived as a hermit on a mountain was asked by a monk: "What is the way?" "What a fine mountain this is," the master said in reply. "I am not asking you about the mountain," said the monk, "but the way."The master replied: "So long as you cannot go beyond the mountain, my son, you cannot reach the way."
The Way is easy - but you are the mountain and beyond lies the Way. Crossing yourself is very difficult. Once you are on the Way there is no problem, but the Way is very far from you.
And you are such a mass of contradictions! One fragment of you goes to the east, another goes to the west - you are not moving in one direction. You cannot as you are, because to move in one direction you need an inner unity, a crystallized being. As you are you are a crowd, with many selves, with no unity.
At the most, if you make some arrangement, as everybody has to make - if you control yourself, at the most you can become an assembly, not a crowd; and then too you will be the Indian assembly, not the British: at the most the majority of your fragments can move in one direction, but the minority will always be there, going somewhere else.
So even a very controlled man, disciplined, a man of character, of thinking, that man too never reaches the Way. He may be able to adjust to the society, but he is also unable to reach the Way from where the door towards the divine opens.
You are really a mountain.
The first thing to be understood is that the crowd must go. The polypsychic existence must become unipsychic; you must be one. That means you must be thoughtless, because thoughts are a crowd; they divide you, and every thought pulls you apart. They create chaos within you and they are always contradictory. Even when you decide, the decision is always against some part within you, it is never total.
I have heard it happened:
Mulla Nasruddin was very ill - tense, psychiatrically ill. And the illness was that he became, by and by, absolutely unable to make any decision - not big decisions at that, but small ones also: whether to take a bath or not, whether to wear this tie or that, whether to take a taxi to the office or drive the car - not big ones, small decisions, but he became unable to make them so he was put in a psychiatric hospital.
Six months of treatment and everything settled, and the doctors felt that now he was okay. They said one day, "Now, Nasruddin, you are absolutely okay. You can go back in the world, take your job, start working and functioning. We are completely satisfied that now there is nothing wrong." But seeing a slight indecision on Nasruddin's part the doctor said, "Don't you feel that now you are ready to go into the world and start working and functioning?"
Nasruddin said, "Yes and no."

GNU/Linux meets the Dead
Let's talk avatars: I've never had one, only because my only experience with them have come at the hands of playing fantasy sports on Yahoo!, and because Yahoo! doesn't have a balding, bearded 50-year-old avatar, I considered myself out of luck.
So after signing up to ask a question in the Ubuntu forums about why Xubuntu acts the way it does (and the question was answered quickly), I poked around in my profile to see what this avatar thing was all about. To my pleasant surprise, I found that I could make one within a various set of parameters and file types, and this allowed me to give GIMP a pretty good going-over.
Merging two of my favorite things — GNU/Linux and the Grateful Dead — I made up the following avatar: Tux bearing the legendary Steal Your Face logo. I believe this avatar is in the area of 60-by-80 pixels and, if you like GNU/Linux and the Dead, feel free to use it. It was either that, or get the bears to wear Tux shirts, or have the dancing terrapins at Terrapin Station beating a tambourine with Tux on it. The possibilities of merging the two are boundless.
For my next trick, maybe using ImageMagick next time, we can have the Xubuntu symbol on Tux's belly . . .
Nevertheless, again, it's out there and it's free to use. Credit me if you like, but it's not mandatory.

text: If yesterday's shenanigans didn't make you think that Oscar Pistorius is going to get away with murder, then today will probably get you there. The lead detective in the case is going to trial in the spring and is facing 7 counts of attempted murder. Prosecutors said they had no idea. Umm, they are prosecuting that case too. Are there that many police officers facing 7 counts of attempted murder that you can lose track? This of course makes the police officer look untrustworthy and this guy is going to get away with murder and get right back to what he was doing with no punishment and will probably just be more careful when he beats his future girlfriends and he will have future girlfriends who will totally believe he was innocent and would never end up dead inside a bathroom.

Darius Rucker calls Kenny Rogers 'The Ultimate'
Listen to Darius Rucker on iHeartRadio
Darius Rucker says Kenny Rogers truly is a crossover star. Rucker recalls when he was a kid he spent a lot of time listening to the radio, and found Rogers' music all across the dial.
Darius says he grew up thinking Kenny was "the ultimate," because Rogers' songs were played on rock, pop, and country radio stations.
Rucker has been honoring Rogers at various events in recent weeks. He performed at Kenny's recent Country Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and took part in a tribute to Rogers at last week's Country Music Association Awards.

Why Maimonides? למה דווקא ישיבת רמב''ם?
In 1937, the door opened on a bold experiment in Jewish learning. Rabbi Dr. Joseph Soloveitchik, zt"l, founded Maimonides School to engage the hearts and teach the minds of Jewish children. Its ambitious dual curriculum would pair proficiency in Torah education with excellence in general studies, preparing students to contribute to the modern world while invigorating their attachment to Judaism and a halakhic way of life. Its atmosphere would inspire boys and girls equally to a love of learning, mitzvot, chesed, Am Yisrael, and Eretz Yisrael.
From its first class of six students, this vision has blossomed into an energetic educational center of more than 600 students, learning together in Kindergarten through Grade 12. Students from Greater Boston and beyond, and from a wide range of religious backgrounds, are welcomed into a school community by teachers who reach out to motivate and educate.
Student life begins with a full academic schedule and continues beyond the classroom with stimulating clubs, sports and activities. Chesed and tzedakah efforts are part of daily life, demonstrating students' compassionate awareness of their relationship to the wider world and their willingness to take action. Indeed, the values fostered by this school community endure; Maimonides graduates have earned an enviable reputation for leadership and accomplishment in every field of human endeavor. For over six decades, they have brought the Rav's vision to life—Torah life, and contemporary life.
Maimonides students are at home with intensive study, academic achievement and schedules brimming with activity. More important, Maimonides students are at home with halakhic life, indelibly connected to Judaism, and dedicated to perpetuating the sacred tradition. From the youngest to those on the eve of graduation, these are lives shaped by head and heart, intellect and love. They are both outstanding students and extraordinary people. We invite you to discover for yourself this unique treasure of Jewish education in Boston, and share it with your children.
Maimonides School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
We have stayed here 3 different times. Always enjoy the stay. They were doing some major renovations but the disruptions were minimal. Should add value to the overall looks of the property.
The hotel services are excellent, specially the hotel concierge staff services. The breakfast is good.
The location is fantastic. It surrounded by the shopping area, night market and restaurants with reasonable price. The lift is very slow.
The free cocktails and laundry as well as the fantastic views. The sports centre was also very well equipped with a good sauna and jacuzzi. The chinesr restaurant on the top forr was also excellent. We would come back to this hotel and recommend it to others. The in house indian food was not as expected.
The breakfast was excellent and the doorman and information center was helpful. The location was great!! Terrible wifi in the room. Bed was very uncomfortable and outdated. The front desk women were rude and one woman tried to charge me more for a cab than another hotel staff, which is suspicious. Overall very outdated and do not recommend
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great location Pool wasn't in the sun all day and was very cold
Excellent hotel and facilities. Fantastic location near everything. Great room.
Good location for shopping good breakfast Check out process
There was nothing especially good, but the attitude of the staff was good enough. When I asked to change the originally assigned room to another, my request was comfatably accepted and quickly processed. a. The house keeper was very slow to deliver new towels when I asked to change them. b. I can't blame the hotel for this. One early morning (before 5 a.m.), the big sounds which made me hop out of bed. I checked the outside, and found someone was knocking the door of the third room next to mine, He did not pay any attention not to annoy his neighbours. He seemd to try to wake up his friend. The sounds finnaly stopped after several repetitions. Was I just unlucky?
We have now stayed here twice, and now we will continue to stay here, its central location, great buffet breakfast, fantastic Gym & sauna. The pool was a little cold, we were not the only ones who thought this. Oct/Nov
Never before did I receive a menue for pillows. That was excellent!
i really enjoyed staying at centara duangtawan, its close to night bazar and all facilities available around the hotel, the verity of food in the beakfast buffet was very good. i advice those whom planning for honeymoon to choose this hotel. finally, i plan to visit that hotel again in the near future. nothing
We went here for two nights as part of our honeymoon and boy did they spoil us!! They gave us welcome chocolates fruit wine and then made up our bed with kissing elephants and our bath with flowers. It was beautiful!! Everyone was amazing . Everything ! The fact that they really spoiled us for our honeymoon was amazing!
luxuries hotel people are excellent they tried to please us by all means. breakfast buffet was not as we expected from Shangri-la standard if we compare with Malasia or Singapore Shangri-la food was not luxurious at all. I suppose because they had low ocupancy.
Upon check-in we were pushed to upgrade so we could have breakfast included. I've traveled all over Asia and haven't had to pay extra nonetheless made me feel like I was a peasant. The service was average. Tried to fill up the tub for my other half and there were pubic hairs floating around. The room was also cleaned better based on how much tip I left. I had great experiences at other Shangri-La hotels but this wasn't one of them.
Shangri-La Hotel, Chiang Mai is excellent in all ways! It is strange not to find any flaw from arrival to departure..
very clean hotel with a relaxing atmosphere and good, prompt service
Everything. Excellent hotel. Nothing
The security lady at the 1st floor entrance was so kind, truly felt welcomed. The hotel's pool and pool side service is excellent. The staff brings sunscreen, insect repellent, icy water, a few slices of melon and towels as soon as you get to the pool. The location is also decent and the hotel staff at the 2nd floor main entrance did an excellent job of getting us transportation and directing the drivers to the right places. The condo next door is being constructed, so we had to bear a constant construction noise at the pool side, but it is not the hotel's fault. The room is not as clean as I would like. The carpet is a bit old and is stained. The room air condition fan noise is loud even at the lowest fan speed setting. The most of the hotel staff did an excellent job of providing good service, but noticed the land of thousand smiles is no where to be found with a few staff.
The breakfast was amazing along with the customer service!! The staff were very attentive, helpful, and welcoming. Would definitely go back!
everything wa very good. the athmosphere was cool
Excellent hotel in every aspect. Staff very helpful. Romms perfect and pool area superb. Maybe could have provided water by the pool.
excellent service second to none, staff is superb and location was good.We upgraded for the horizon club services ( not rooms) with mere 800 baht and the value of the money was excellent.Horizon club people are out of this world , so gooooooooooood I complained about the putting green , which was unusable and the response was immediate and the thanked for the feedback and informed me about an immediate improvement plan. These people are so good
Good location. Easy walking distance to night markets, restaurants, shops. Lobby and common space is bright and welcoming. Rooms and hallways are somewhat dated.
location of the hotel is good ... and the staff were helpful the hotel is old and need to be renew. (old furniture and decoration)
Inside hotel itself was first class. Neighborhood: right smack in the middle of the action. Perfect location.
comfortable and very close to all ammenities at a good price
Good location Sheets and bathrooms were dirty.
I planned to stay at Royal Princess for 6 days. I ended up extending it to 15. The rates were good, service was excellent and the location is fantastic. Tour agent should be more specific about rates.
Convenient. The renovation a bit disturbing.
Our stay at the Royal Princess was great. The Staff were very heplful, freindly and courteous. Our room was spotless and the bed was comfortable. Its a great value for the money and the location is perfect. There was some painting going on in the hallway which created some fumes but did not impact our stay. I think the majority of the renovations are complete
Fantastic location right on Night Bazaar street. Amenities and facilities were exactly as described. Internet is very sketchy. Signal went in and out constantly in room.
The location, close to the Night Market I booked additional deluxe rooms in the hotel for the same period via agoda. And these rooms were in the renovated part of the hotel. But after intervention we could move to the better floor
Everything - the location was absolutely perfect and the staff were very friendly. This is the best hotel in Chiang Mai!
Location is right in the night market with plenty of food nearby. Staff are friendly. We had rm 216 which was dark because it faced a blank wall and construction site . We couldn't sleep past about 7AM because of crying kids, scraping chairs and walking sounds. We assume the restaurant was below us. We stayed a week and room cleaning was minimal. The carpet was dirty when we arrived and wasn't vacuumed during our stay. The shower also needs attention as it is difficult to actuate. In general we feel we paid for a premium room but didn't receive it.
Just one minute walk from the night market.
The hotel has got a very good location, near the night bazaar, and several restaurants. The design of the hotel is very modern and stylish. The rooms are nice too. The people working in the reception were not always very attentive. Some were very helpful, but some did not make any sign of seeing the customer. Once I stood in front of the reception desk for several minutes, waiting to ask some questions. Four people were sitting there, but nobody made any sign of wanting to talk to me. One of them was busy combing her hair! I expect more from a five star hotel. There was also quite much confusion about our booking, the check out date etc.
Great location - Friendly staff - Excellent facilities - Nice accommodations. Good value for the money.
the complimentary beverage when checking in. the photos online are cherry picks. the hotel is generic, loud (lots of noise transmission between rooms), water temperature fluctuates an unsafe amount, staff smiles but is unaccomodating. Much better options in this city.
Cleaness,location and staff constant attention to guest's need Terrible noise on the ground flour. The volume of bar music was often too high
Location close to the night bazzar and conveience access to any near attraction. Stuck up front desk
Overwhelming and warm service; excellent service staff; great variety of breakfast buffet with national and international dishes; excellent location next to night bazaar (but quite)
The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff Everything was great
I booked a club room. You can stay on a higher floor then and it is nice to have some drinks at the lounge. The bar is quite nice, too. The rooms are small.
The hotel staff is very very very excellent . No .
This is in excellent Hotel, the staff is painfully polite and the services were great. The food at the hotel restaurant was excellent The shower was a bit funky. It was a huge step up to get into the shower. For some reason the shower is separated by the rest of the room by glass walls, making it viewable from any point in the room. Even more oddly, the privacy for the shower is a set of horizontal blinds located on the outside of the shower. Meaning, someone in the room can walk up and open the blinds and see you using the shower or bathroom. Not that this would happen, but I find that to be very odd, and I've never seen that in my entire life.
staff, location, room food, all excellent nothing it was an excellent hotel
It was clean. Great location. Minimal noise. The pool was closed due to rennovations - it would have been nice to have received a small discount or other benefit as one reason for selecting this hotel was the pool. The breakfast was OK (just). The coffee is awful - even busy hotels can make decent coffee.
The room was truly excellent value at 2000 Thai baht including as much Continental, American and Thai breakfast as you might wish to eat (in a spacious restaurant atmosphere). Our room not only had very comfortable beds but also a big sofa. There was free tea and coffee and the minibar was very reasonably priced - dressing gowns, slippers, plenty of hot water for the good bath and shower. Everything was spotless. The location near the night market is superb and the sound proofing very good. We visited at holiday time so there was no renovation or building work going on. This is now our first choice of hotel in Chiang Mai for sheer value for money.
This was a decent hotel with a Great city location, for shopping and the rooms were much better than described in other reviews. The Breakfast was alittle lacking with selections not replentished , when they were out , they were out ! lol
Location, right next to the night Baazar., Did not have any facilities in the hotel. They would have to shuttle you to another place and shuttle would stop at 4pm.
the breakfast was average..no bacon..very ameuter service with no knowlege of customer service
hotel staff had a good command of English and were very polite and competent! Nice place to be, hotel is next to night market => very good! nothing
Room and decor was really nice. Very clean, everyone helpful, breakfast was okay, not great. Nice rooftop pool. Small gym.
I loved all the art displayed in the room that being all the furniture inclieded, as well as accessories. THE over all design and cleanliness was amazing. Roof top pool has a great view.
The swimming pools were great, breakfast was superb with selection and variety of free fruits and overall the facilities were clean. Location was excellent, could walk pretty much everywhere. Prices at the spa and restaurants are far above the regular thai standards but that is OK as there are tens of options in the neighbourhoods. Same goes for internet and laundry, which were priced as in Europe but luckily, there were several cheaper options available at the neighbourhood.
High quality rooms and friendly and helpful staff make for a great product! We had a great stay. N/A
curtain & carpet is old and dirty.
Your staff, Breakfast choice and quality and the pools. Oh, superb beds! Room furniture a little old and poor quality. Bathrooms very basic (bath & shower especially with grouting between the tiles blackened with mould.
i did not like the hotel, the staff were unprofissional, and hardly speaks english, no experiance in hotel managment althou the hotel is very old the hotel is old, furniture is very old, staff don't spaek english well, to hard to communicate with operator or room service.
We hope they change the tv and add more tv Chanels
The location is very good and the restaurant/bar next door serves delicious food! The hotel is quite old and is in need of renovation.
Imperial Mae Ping is perfectly situated close to the night bazaar but far enough away not to be caught up in the traffic and noise. Airconditioning was difficult to regulate.
Location is very go od the night bazar is only 5 minutes walk far , and there are alot of bars resturants and tour services arround place. no
Excellent value for the price. The hotel caters for all tastes and the service is impeccable.
Excellent location and outstanding service and decor also features a high-level
We were so pampered by the resort. Siripanna arranged special wine and cake for us knowing that this was our honeymoon. We were so delighted and thankful for the staff. Everyone was so friendly and the whole resort is just beautiful and comfortable, almost like a paradise. We had such an enjoyable stay there and had an amazing time.
The staff were amazing and the hotel grounds and landscaper were absolutely beautiful...
One of the best places we have ever stayed.......
We enjoyed every think inregards to the hotel the pool & thw staff were all very good & helpful.
Very friendly staff. Room was clean. Good value for money. Great location! 5 minute walk to night bazaar. Beds were a bit hard. Many mosquitoes in front lobby due to stagnant water in ponds.
Though the hotel is old, it was kept clean. The attitude of the staff was friendly and kind enough. Basically the service was acceptable, but the information on the festival event in the city should be more properly gathered and provided for the hotel guests.
room big enough it is pity no safety box available.
Near my favorite restaurant Jia Tung Heng Hotel staff ...receptionist is not polite n helpful
good service, grate location brakfast is the same every day
room was spacious, comfortable beds, quiet and clean, convenient parking right at the front, good security, good kitchen. breakfast buffet did offer more varieties in the past
The architecture and decor is suberb. The attention to detail is beyond description. Location is wonderful. It is wonderfully tranquil and reminded me of the Lost City in Beijing.
Loved the hotel's landscaping and the deign of the facility. I've never seen a landscaping crew work as hard, and their efforts showed. Liked the pool a lot as well. The staff's professionalism can really be improved. They weren't rude but They need to work on the little things. My wife asked the front desk for a list of the costs associated with the hotel's laundry service. The guy at the front desk says "it's found in the closet near the tv" (which it wasn't). This is supposed to be a five star hotel. Other places would apologize and quickly go find a list for their guests, instead of fault the blame on their guests. Additionally, there is no hair conditioner in the hotel's bathroom. I understand that some may not require this, but I'd be willing to bet a good portion of the hotel's guests do. You have to personally request conditioner from the hotel's maid service. Weird. And finally, their drink pool service has a lot to improve upon. I had to go to the hotel's other bar on the other side of the hotel to get drinks by the pool. On the last day of my stay, the hotel staff told me I could call that bar and they would deliver drinks over to the pool, but when I called, no one answered.
Peaceful, beautiful design, nice location. roomservice.
room accomodations; attentive staff
The amazing architecture made this hotel experience so unique. The staff was 5 star. Nothing bad I can say. Would be nice to have a clock in the room though.
The better stile,design,very frienly staff!
room was very large and comfortable, hugh balconey with large jaccuzi food was not very good and there were limited choices
The hotel had amazing service and every detail of the resort layout was just beautiful. If you're in central city of Chiang Mai, no matter how amazing the hotel is there in the city, it will not compare to the beauty of Veranda. I have traveled quite a bit and know what to expect for what i pay for and at Veranda, you definitely get what you paid for and more. It was exactly what I needed from a solo vacation. Thank you Veranda. It's hard to say what I did not like because my experience was just so wonderful.
Location of the hotel was good and close to airport, shopping areas, etc. The rooms conditions is shabby and old. Hotel has already redesigned couple of their floors and they could have placed us in new rooms, which were available but they were asking for addition cost.
very friendly staff with regards to language ... english ... it was a little difficult to make one self understood
The hotel is too far from the night bazaar
It was a good value for money. At 1450 Baht for per night a superior and spacious room was excellent value for money.
ambiance and good decorations
The staff was friendly, without fail there will always someone attending to you wheb the moment you walked into the hotel Nothing
big room, mold in showers, room smelled of smoke and asked for non smoking. it was busy as it was full moon festival which was understandable
helpful no
staff are informative. no mosquito repelent
Very good value for money; rooms are large, newly renovated and very clean. Service and English speaking capacity very good. They could actually inject a bit of more life into the hotel bar area (very quiet and poorly attended)
Very helpfull staff, clean room and good breakfast selection. Just outside the inner city, so have to take everytime a tuktuk. Not a big problem as there is always on waiting infront of the hotel.

REPORT: Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendez Expecting Baby?
Rumor has it that Eva Mendes is with child and Ryan Gosling planted the seed. The pair have been dating for approximately 3 years. Last year some talk about a Ryan/Eva split surfaced, but was never confirmed.
This means two heartbreaking things....
1) Ryan Gosling is seriously off the market! Once a kid is involved the deal is usually sealed, right?
2) Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams will never get back together. (Sorry Notebook fans.)
We are hearing that Eva may be as far along as 7 months! Apparently she's spent a long time hiding her baby bump.

Best Uses
I have only had these chairs for a few weeks and so far am very pleased. they are comfortable, attractive and appear to be of sturdier materials and construction than other beach chairs I have owned. Since they are outside, the real test will be how well they last.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

On the Shelf
The Ultimate Example of Everything, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- Our poetry editor, Robyn Creswell, on the New Museum's current show, "Here and Elsewhere": "So many of today's iconic images are made in the Middle East … For visual artists working from the region, this surfeit of spectacles poses a challenge. When everyday life—at least as it is experienced via a computer screen—regularly throws up these images of terror and drama and the technological sublime, how can a photographer compete?"
- Ben Lerner at the Met: "What interests me about fiction … is in part, its flickering edge between realism and where a tear in the fabric of a story lets in some other sort of light."
- Things that—according to the students and faculty of the first Ashbery Home School, a new writing conference in Hudson, New York—John Ashbery is "the ultimate example of": "surrealism, realism, hyperrealism, distance, proximity, translation, tradition, the grotesque, the beautiful, the blind, the all-seeing, the old, the young, the queer, the hetero, the hedgehog, the fox, the human, the alien, the bric-a-brac in the cupboard, the masterpiece on the wall, painting, cinema, architecture, life." (NB the author of this list describes it as "incomplete and incompetent.")
- A brief history of the problem of sorting, classifying, and otherwise categorizing things: "It is tempting to think making categories is a straightforward scientific enterprise, and that debates will be clearly settled once we've amassed enough data. But the history of science shows this not to be the case … The nature of scientific categories is not merely an empirical issue; it's also a philosophical one, and one affected by self-interest and social forces."
- Today, in posthumous gifts: more than three thousand of Doris Lessing's books are to be donated to a public library in Zimbabwe, where she lived for twenty-five years.

Some closures locally due to gov't shutdown
(Cleveland) -- The federal government shutdown will have some impact in Greater Cleveland.
Ohio's only national park, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, will not have the roads or trails shut down, but due to the furlough of over 100 park employees, the parking lots, visitor centers and restrooms will be closed.
NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field will be closed to the public, and there will be no public speakers from NASA Glenn during the duration of the shutdown. About 1,600 employees are on furlough, and hundreds of private contractor employees are also affected.
The Defense Finance and Accounting Service, which handles payroll for military personnel and retirees is not closing, but there will be some layoffs. DFAS personnel have been told to show up for work as usual and their supervisors would give them their status.
Mail delilvery will continue as usual, since the U.S. Postal Service is self-funded.
Federal courts in Cleveland and across the country will remain open for ten business days, as the court system has resources to keep the courts open until around October 15. After that, the federal judiciary will reassess the situation.

Hac Boston
From HaskellWiki
January 21-23, 2012
MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
1 About
The Haskell Hackathon is an international, grassroots collaborative coding festival with a simple focus: build and improve Haskell libraries, tools, and infrastructure.
Hac Boston will be held January 21-23, 2012 at MIT in Cambridge, MA. It is open to all -- you do not have to be a Haskell guru to attend. All you need is a basic knowledge of Haskell, a willingness to learn, and a project you're excited to help with (or a project of your own to work on).
There will be lots of hacking, some talks, good food, and, of course, fun!
- IRC channel: #haskell-hacboston (freenode)
- Mailing list: firstname.lastname@example.com
2 Registration
If you will be attending, please register. Registration is free, and open to everyone. If you like, you can also list yourself as an attendee. Then check out the projects page.
3 When
January 21-23, 2012 from 2:30-10pm Friday, 9am-10pm Saturday, and 9am-5pm Sunday. There will probably be some talks Saturday afternoon.
Although the hackathon won't officially kick off until 2:30pm on Friday, you are welcome to arrive the evening of Thursday the 20th or Friday morning if it makes for easier travel. If enough people are around and interested, some sort of activity could be arranged for Thursday evening and/or Friday morning.
4 Talks
If you'd be interested in giving a short (15-20 minute) talk, put your name and the subject of your talk on the talks page. There will be a projector and whiteboard available.
5 Sponsors
Hac Boston 2012 is sponsored by Capital IQ, an active user of functional programming!
6 Location
Check out the Google map for info on relevant locations. More information about the room will be forthcoming.
6.1 Getting to the Boston area
See also Wikitravel.
6.1.1 Air
Logan International Airport (BOS) is the closest major airport. T. F. Green Airport (PVD) in Providence is another option, with a rail connection to Boston.
6.1.2 Train
From most points, take Amtrak to South Station, station code (BOS). From certain points in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, take MBTA commuter rail, which arrives at South Station or North Station.
6.1.3 Bus
Boston is served by many bus companies. From New York City, reasonable and cheap options include Megabus BoltBus, Fung Wah, and Lucky Star
6.1.4 Without a car
- MBTA operates the trains and busses in the Boston area. Fares are listed on their website.
You can also get a CharlieTicket (or CharlieCard) at most stops.
- Walking is always an option. Cambridge is a very walkable city.
6.1.5 From the airport
- You can take the Silver Line to South Station and then take the T from South Station to Kendall Station.
- Walking is probably not an option.
6.1.6 Keegan McAllister Style
- Bring a multitool.
- Exit security, make an immediate right. Enter the janitorial wing of the airport. Find the third from the right window.
- Quickly remove the screws on the air duct immediately next to it. Crawl through to luggage handling.
- Navigate the maze of conveyor belts and machinery. Do not fall.
- Exit via the luggage pickup conveyor belt.
- Exit via the nearest door. Take the Blue Line subway towards Bowdoin. Ride on top.
- Do not get off at Government Center Station. Directly ransfer to the Green Line towards E - Heath Street by jumping from train to train.
- Get off at Prudential Station. Do not let yourself be seen.
- Climb a nearby fire escape. Parkour to 111 Huntington Ave. You will need a zipline. Possibly several. Alternatively, fight your way through security on the ground floor and take the elevator. If it's not at the ground, climb the shaft. It's faster.
- Enter ClariFI through the window. Disregard the screams of terror.
- Find Edward Kmett. Beat him up and take his keys.
- Drive to MIT. Find directions on Google Maps.
6.2 Accommodation
We're still actively investigating what kinds of bulk deals we can get on hotels in the area.
There are a number of nearby hotels suggested on the MIT web site
There may also be some local residents willing to accommodate a few attendees. See the attendees page for more info.
7 Preparations
7.1 Before you arrive
- Pick out a couple of projects to work on and familiarise yourself with them, or bring your own project(s) to work on. See the projects page for a list of projects people plan to work on. If you plan to work on your own project, be sure to list it on the projects page and set up a public repository if you don't already have one, so that other people can help hack on your project.
- Install an up to date Haskell toolchain: at least ghc and cabal-install. If you don't already have these installed (or need to install from scratch on the laptop you're bringing), the easiest way is probably to install the Haskell Platform.
8 Contact
For any questions or emergencies, you can always call Edward Kmett at (857)244-1001.
9 Attendees
See the Attendees page.
10 Organization
The organizers of Hac Boston are:
- Edward Kmett (ekmett)
- Edward Yang (ezyang)

About the Owner
Leslie Alexander assumed ownership of the Houston Rockets on July 30, 1993, and – over the last 19 years – has devoted his efforts to making his teams champions both on the basketball court and in the community. Alexander's dedication to winning has resulted in two NBA championships with the Rockets and four WNBA titles during his 10-year (1997-2006) operation of the Houston Comets, giving Houston its first major professional sports championships. Only three other NBA teams have posted more winning seasons than the Rockets (15) during Alexander's tenure as owner. Additionally, Houston's winning percentage (.557, 841-669) is the seventh best in the league over that same 19-season time frame. Off the court, the Rockets franchise has set the standard for community involvement.

You often see animosity between the two. What causes this? I assume it's mostly caused by people feeling judged by others who have made different choices.
Seems to me like most people do what they want to and/or need to do. I don't see a lot of working parents who want to be home, or stay at home parents who want to be working UNLESS there is a financial or circumstantial reason preventing them from following their hearts. And so when a working mom implies or tells me outright that I shouldn't be satisfied with being home, or whatever, I hear it as "be more like me" even when my goals/personality/general overall wiring is different from hers. I assume working parents feel the same when when stay at home parents imply that they should also be home.
