The year 2016 started on an optimistic note for the film industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Death in Sarajevo by Danis Tanović, produced by SCCA/pro.ba in cooperation with Margo Films (France) and France 3 Cinéma, premiered in the 66th Berlin Film Festival's International Competition, winning the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize and the FIPRESCI Prize. This success could not balance the negative trend of cutting down the production support in the country as the Film Fund allocated only 651,385 EUR for the development, production and coproduction support in 2016.
A new Cinema Law, which was discussed in the Parliament in 2015, still hasn't seen the light of day and the Bosnian Audiovisual Centre has not been launched, leaving the Association of Filmmakers of Bosnia and Herzegovina to handle most of the promotion, strategy making, lobbying and networking for the film industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The year 2016 saw the production of five feature films, that are expected to premiere in 2017.
Those Dark Nights by François Lunel, produced by Bosnian company Rose Films in coproduction with French companies Promenades Films and Sycomore Films, is a war story about 28 year old Haska who, after losing her husband, decides to leave besieged Sarajevo through the mountains with her 9 year old son Denis.
Two debut features shot in 2016, both deal with post-war reality of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Men Don't Cry / Muškarci ne plaču directed by Alen Drljević and produced by Deblokada in coproduction with Živa, is a story of war veterans who fought on three different sides during the war and are brought together at workshops by an international peace organisation.
The Frog / Žaba directed by Elmir Jukić and produced by Refresh in coproduction with Skopje Film Studio, Living Pictures and Propeler filmom, is an adaptation of a hit theatre play about the search for love and meaning in the country stuck in the process of transition.
Dead Fish Float on Their Backs / Mrtve ribe plivaju na leđima, directed by Kristijan Milić and produced by Oktavijan in coproduction with Eurofilm, was shot in Mostar and covers a complex story of 42 characters all connected to a retired teacher who committed suicide.
Herzegovinian production house Kadar coproduced The Eighth Commissioner / Osmi povjerenik, a debute feature directed by Ivan Salaj and produced by Alka film, telling the story of an ambitious politician Siniša Mesjak, who ends up living on the island of Trečić.
Death in Sarajevo is the only majority coproduction from Bosnia and Herzegovina released in 2016. Another six feature films released in 2016 were made in coproduction with Bosnian and Herzegovinian production houses as minority coproducers.
Cristi Puiu's Sieranevada was coproduced by 2006 d.o.o., Mirjana Karanović's A Good Wife by Deblokada, while Vlado Škafar's Mother, Goran Kapetanović's My Aunt in Sarajevo, Damjan Kozole's Nightlife and Dane Komljen's All the Cities of the North, were all coproduced by SCCA/pro.ba. For these feature films Bosnian and Herzegovinian production companies cooperated with partners from Croatia, France, Italy, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
Documentary films still dominate film production in the country with eleven short and five long documentaries released in 2016.
Long documentary White Road / Bijeli put, directed by Zdenko Jurilj and produced by Kadar, tells the story of a convoy of 90 trucks of humanitarian aid that travelled through the front lines during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina to Central Bosnia, just to get attacked on their way back.
Remy Ourdan's and Patrick Chauvel's Siege / Opsada, produced by Agat Films & Cie, Arte France, INA and SCCA/pro.ba, concentrates on the ordeal of citizens of Sarajevo during the longest siege in modern history.
Scream for Me Sarajevo, directed by Tarik Hodžić and produced by Prime Time, tells the story of the times when Bruce Dickinson came to Sarajevo to hold an underground concert.
Stefan Malešević introduces us to Gorani, people living in remote mountain villages situated on the borders of Kosovo, Albania and Macedonia, in his long documentary Gora produced by Slovofilm.
Under the Cover concentrates on head-scarfs and the lives of young Muslim women who decided to wear them as an expression of their faith. The film was directed by Nejra Latić Hulusić and Sabrina Begović Ćorić, and produced by Hava Film.
Six short fiction films and one short animated film were also released in 2016.
A total of 194 films premiered in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2016 and another 24 continued screening from 2015. A total of 158 films were released in 2015.
There was just one film produced in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Death in Sarajevo, that was released in 2016. The film had five screenings during the Sarajevo Film Festival and 1,641 admissions and 4,204 EUR gross in regular cinema distribution.
Three distribution companies, Blitz Film & Video Distribution, Una Film and 2iFilm, dominated the market in 2016, with a 71% market share.
Bosnia and Herzegovina hosted the 22nd Sarajevo Film Festival in 2016, as well as a number of smaller film festivals. As problems with funding in all spheres of culture are evident, it was not surprising that a well-known festival, Kratkofil Plus from Banja Luka, had to close down in March 2016.
Most films in Bosnia and Herzegovina are screened in five multiplexes: Cinema City in Sarajevo, Multiplex Palas in Banja Luka, CineStar Mostar in Mostar, Multiplex Ekran in Zenica and Cinestar Bihać in Bihać.
Three of the five multiplexes (Cinema City, Multiplex Palas and Multiplex Ekran) are part of the Europa Cinemas Network and part of their programmes is dedicated to artistic, predominantly European films. The most important Bosnian and Herzegovinian art house cinema is still Cinema Meeting Point, another member of the Europa Cinemas Network, that is run by the Obala Art Center, the organisation behind the Sarajevo Film Festival.
As most of the smaller towns in the country still have no infrastructure for regular film screenings, they depend greatly on Operation Kino, a cinema-on-wheels project organised by the Sarajevo Film Festival in cooperation with Transilvania Film Festival, Sofia Film Festival and Istanbul Film Festival since 2010. In 2016 Operation Kino visited 24 towns throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, bringing with them all the technology needed for digital film screenings.
Operation Kino, in cooperation with Reelport GmbH, established a Video on Demand platform offering to the audiences from Bosnia and Herzegovina a number of titles participating in the project, as well as masterclasses and interviews.
In 2016 the biggest box office hits in cinemas in Bosnia and Herzegovina were produced in the US: Deadpool with 77,735 EUR / 152,037 KM gross, Ice Age: Collision Course with 70,657 EUR / 138,193 KM gross, Suicide Squad with 67,274 EUR / 131,576 KM gross, The Secret Life of Pets (2D and 3D) with 57,571 EUR / 112,599 KM gross, The Revenant with 50,316 EUR / 98,409 KM gross, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice with 49,148 EUR / 96,125 KM gross, Inferno with 47,969 EUR / 93,819 KM gross, Warcraft: The Beginning (3D) with 45,711 EUR / 89,404 KM gross, Fifty Shades of Black with 43,748 EUR / 85,564 KM gross and Rogue One with 43,634 EUR / 85,341 KM gross.
As ticket prices vary depending on the city/town where the cinema is located and on the fact that tickets for 3D screenings are more expensive than for 2D, there is a slight difference between the admissions top ten and the box office.
The admissions Top 10 paints a slightly different picture. Deadpool still tops the charts with 29,267 admissions, followed by Ice Age: Collision Course with 27,266 admissions. The Secret Life of Pets (2D & 3D) switched places with Suicide Squad and occupy the 3rd and 4th place with 25,236 and 22,035 admissions respectively. Fifty Shades of Black went up to the 5th place with 19,335 admissions, followed by Inferno with 19,022 admissions and Revenant with 18,754 admissions.
Two comedies coming from Serbia managed to get in the admissions top ten in 2016 ranking 7th and 8th: Military Academy 3, directed by Dejan Zečević and produced by Nira Pro, with 17,947 admissions and The Flock, directed by Nikola Kojo and produced by K-12, with 17,860 admissions. Warcraft: The Beginning (3D) closed the list with 16,877 leaving Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Rouge One off it.
In 2016 the Film Fund in Bosnia and Herzegovina continued the practice of opening the call for applications at the end of the year, so the list of winning projects was announced in January 2017. Danis Tanović, Jasmila Žbanić and Ines Tanović received support for the production of their feature films 9034, Srebrenica and Son. Four more minority coproductions, including new films by Nuri Bilge Ceylan and Srdan Golubović, were supported.
Once again, film production funds were cut from 677,467 EUR allocated in 2015 to 651,385 EUR in 2016. Although the cut doesn't seem big, it is a sign that public institutions still don't understand the needs of film industry. Funding was cut in 2014, had a slight rise in 2015, and was then cut again in 2016, never getting to the amount of 777,164 EUR / 1,520,000 KM from 2013.
As the Film Fund is allowed to allocate funding only to production companies registered in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, production companies from Republika Srpska depend on the willingness of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Republika Srpska to open a call for co-funding of film projects. The Ministry opened a call in August 2015 allocating 51,129 EUR to one feature film and four long documentaries.
A new Cinema Law, which was discussed in the Parliament in 2015, still hasn't seen the light of day and the Bosnian Audiovisual Centre has not been launched, leaving the Association of Filmmakers of Bosnia and Herzegovina to handle most of the promotion, strategy making, lobbying and networking for the film industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. With the Film Fund implementing cuts in "co-financing of complementary activities", the Association of Filmmakers will face difficulties with organising its activities in 2017.
In 2016, the Association of Filmmakers of Bosnia and Herzegovina started serving as the organisation for collective management of copyright and related rights for filmmakers in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The main public channels in Bosnia and Herzegovina are the Radio Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Radio Television of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Radio Television of Republika Srpska.
None of them funds feature films, but all of them produce both short and long documentaries. Until a few years ago, they were involved in the coproduction of feature films, so film professionals are hoping that the new Cinema Law will encourage their involvement in feature film production once again.
The most important private TV channels in the country are Al Jazeera Balkans and Hayat TV. Al Jazeera produces independent documentaries and Hayat TV is involved in the production of smaller scale sitcoms from time to time. In the last years Face TV also produced several documentaries.

Event Description
Event Overview:
WaterPro is the annual conference of the National Rural Water Association.
WaterPro is designed to bring together water and wastewater utility systems - large and small, municipal and rural - for sessions in operations, management, boardsmanship and governance.
At the WaterPro Conference, you'll find an exhibit hall jam-packed with new products and technology that will keep you up to date on the ever-changing needs in the water industry.
WaterPro is THE networking place to be! Come see old friends and make new friends in the Rural Water family tradition!
Exhibitor Information:
WaterPro is designed to bring together water and wastewater utility systems - large and small, municipal and rural.
Take part in the education, networking and hands-on instruction of the largest and most active utility membership in the nation. Make contact with professionals in every aspect of the water industry, including systems operations specialists, utility managers, board members and representatives from regulatory agencies.
WaterPro attendees WANT to meet with YOU
A top suggestion in post-conference surveys was more time to see exhibits and meet with exhibitors.
WaterPro has set aside time and space to ensure our attendees can tour the exhibit hall
The WaterPro agenda includes blocks of time for attendees to network and tour the exhibit hall, including time with no scheduled educational sessions.
WaterPro provides new and innovative ways to interact with attendees
Text updates, networking pavilions, demos and on-the-floor sessions don't just provide increased value for our attendees, they provide more opportunities for our exhibitors to interact with conference attendees.
About NRWA:
The National Rural Water Association (NRWA) was formed in 1976. Prior to that, rural and small utilities, with populations of 10,000 or less (comprising 92% of our nations community water supplies), had little if any voice in legislative and regulatory issues. Today, NRWA through its State Rural Water affiliates is the nation's largest water and wastewater utility membership association with over 31,000 members.
Co-located conference with the Ground Water Protection Council Annual Forum.

Hello! I know this "Bio" section in a website is typically written up by someone else, clinically describing accolades and personal history, but I wanted to stay personal to you and share a bit of who I really am in my own words (by the way, "Who I Really Am" is the title of one of my songs).
I was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. Both my parents had escaped El Salvador during the infamous civil war in the 80's as refugees with Anmesty International to Australia to start a new life of opportunities for their growing family.
I feel incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to be raised in Australian as it gave me eyes of appreciation for our Aboriginal culture that lead me to yearn to learn about my indigenous Mayan roots of Central America. (please view my "Heritage" video bio on the right coloumn --->).
I like to approach to life as authentic as I can, whether that means being a goofball or allowing my vulnerability to be a place of connection for myself with others. As Marianne Williamson says: "And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.", I too hope to inspire others to shine.
I like to describe myself as "conscious lyricist" who writes "Conscious Pop" as every time I put pen to paper, when I write my songs, I AM consciously choosing a topic or an experience that can inspire, move or motivate someone to love themselves a little deeper, appreciate our world a little more or to empower you to fight for a better world.
I grew up rocking the Latino music scene in Sydney since my early teens (please view my "musical journey" video bio on the right ----> ). Being influenced by not only my Australian upbringing but my Latino roots, and travels, I like to incorporate these elements in my music as well.
I AM currently living in New York City working on my first EP based on my own beliefs and lessons in making the world a better place. Im motivated by love and humanity and aim to bring a gracious inspiration of self acceptance.
To me, music is a powerful tool that may not stop a war, but can Bring tears to the eyes of a soldier.
I want my Conscious Music to be the rebirth of the 70's movement in social and political change and a spiritual evolution in the modern platform of pop as I feel it has the most impact on impressionable hearts. Tomorrows leaders need to hear more words that tell them they are good enough, that tell them they are amazing, that tell them to forgive themselves, becuase they are amazing. My lyrics vary from subtle to confrontational, with a catchy melody will always be prevalent, I'd like my music to be radio friendly, and accessible to all ages. (Please view my "Bio" video ---->)
I'm a seasoned live stage performer and love performing live, the energy of the musicicans around me, the sounds of the drums grooving, the feel of the guitars, the smile of the faces in the audience, the dancing, the air, the atmosphere is priceless. I feel most free when Im on stage, releasing my voice in full glory in the words that fill my heart, theres nothing like it, the stage always calls to me. In saying all that, I aim to be performing with my band as much as I can. I will also be releasing all the songs on my EP throughout the year. I released my debut single, "Beautiful Day" on June 30th last year (2015) and am honored to have the opportunity to release my other music to you throughout. Songs that will encourage you, songs you can relate to, songs that may move you and hopefully awaken something inside of you that wants to come out.

The 61-year-old was charged with improper conduct on Thursday afternoon after branding Martin Atkinson "a Mickey Mouse referee" following his side's 2-1 Barclays Premier League defeat at Fulham on November 9.
An FA spokesman said: "Newcastle United manager Joe Kinnear has been charged with improper conduct."
The statement continued: "The charge relates to comments made about referee Martin Atkinson in media interviews following Newcastle's match against Fulham on 9 November.
"Kinnear has until 12 December to respond to the charge."
The Magpies boss was furious with Atkinson's decision not to award his side a free-kick for Andrew Johnson's challenge on Claudio Cacapa in the build-up to what proved to be the Londoners' match-winning penalty.
Speaking in his post-match press conference, he said: "Cacapa was on the ball and Johnson completely pushes him out the way, nicks the ball and gets the penalty.
"We have got the Mickey Mouse referee doing nothing. He's made an error that cost us."
It is not the first time Kinnear has talked his way into trouble - he spent the opening two matches of his spell as interim Newcastle boss watching from the stands as he served a two-match touchline ban dating back to his time at Nottingham Forest.
That punishment was imposed after he referred to an official as "Coco the Clown".

Everything We Know We Learned From Chick Flicks
Thelma & Louise
Thelma, an unhappy housewife (Geena Davis), and Louise, a world-weary waitress (Susan Sarandon), take off in a green '66 Thunderbird convertible for a relaxing weekend at a friend's cabin. A run-in with a rapist and a few gunshots later, their legendary trip gives new meaning to the term girlfriend getaway. That said, flooring it into the abyss won't leave a whole lot of options for next year's adventure.
TAKE AWAY: Always rent a convertible. You never know when it'll be your last road trip.
How Stella Got Her Groove Back
It's early midlife crisis time for impossibly sexy Stella (Angela Bassett), who takes a vacation from her hotshot stockbroker gig and heads to the tropics with pal Delilah (Whoopi Goldberg). Sure, the girl chats on the beach are nice, but this flick is all about the groove-giver, Winston Shakespeare, a younger man with killer abs (thank you for existing, Taye Diggs), who single-handedly raises the temperature in Jamaica.
TAKE AWAY: Think twice before importing your vacation man to the mainland.
Blue Crush
Tough-but-perky Anne Marie (Kate Bosworth) splits her time between caring for her kid sister (Mika Boorem) and training with her pal (Michelle Rodriguez) to compete in Pipe Masters, a traditionally all-male surfing competition in Hawaii. Think of it as a female The Fast and the Furious, with lots of water and luau love mixed in.
TAKE AWAY: Surfers are hot. Join them.
Enchanted April
A couple of highbrow Londoners (Miranda Richardson and Josie Lawrence) ditch their husbands for an entire month to live la dolce vita with rent-sharing pals (Joan Plowright and Polly Walker) at San Salvatore, a stunningly beautiful villa on the Italian Riviera.
TAKE AWAY: A fabulous destination can make annoying travel companions more bearable.
Boys on the Side
Jane (Whoopi Goldberg) is a nightclub singer sharing the car ride from New York to Tucson with Robin (Mary-Louise Parker) and Holly (Drew Barrymore). Much heavy-handed estro-bonding ensues: Jane is a lesbian! Robin is HIV-positive! Holly was abused!
TAKE AWAY: Belting out "Shame, Shame, Shame" should be banned.

Hon Hai promises electric cars priced under US$15,000 |
CNA Thursday, June 26, 2014, 12:01 am TWN |
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. (鴻海), a Taiwanese assembler of Apple Inc.'s iPhones and iPads, said Wednesday it is planning to make electric cars priced with an extremely affordable price tag — under US$15,000.
"The electric cars made by us will be very affordable," said Terry Gou (郭台銘), chairman of the world's largest contract electronics maker, in response to a question during an annual shareholders' meeting. Unlike current models that run as much as NT$2 million (US$66,800), most of the electric cars developed by Hon Hai will be priced under US$15,000, Gou said. He declined to give details on the cars or indicate when they may be launched. Asked by the same shareholder about Hon Hai's reported cooperation with U.S. electric car pioneer Tesla Motors Inc., Gou said he would not comment on any single client, adding only that Tesla is a good company and can help Hon Hai understand future trends in the car industry. "The development of new-energy vehicles is just beginning," he noted. "When integrated with cloud computing, the Internet, smart traffic and smart cities in the future, people will be able to drive more easily and reduce car accidents more efficiently." "This kind of technology is due in the next 10 to 20 years, and our company will make huge investments in it," Gou said. Hon Hai, often referred to by its trade name of Foxconn Technology Group, is seeking to transform itself into a technology services company to meet consumer demand and generate business growth in the coming years. In its annual report to shareholders, Hon Hai said it is evolving from its existing "Integration-Innovation-Design-Manufacturing" base into cloud services, wireless 4G-LTE networking services and the e-commerce sector. By the time the fifth generation (5G) of telecommunications rolls around, the company will shift its focus to developing automation and artificial intelligence and combining hardware and software applications to improve human life, the annual report said. Hon Hai shares fell 1.73 percent to close at NT$96.50 Wednesday in Taipei trading.

Christmas Freilachs, by the Angstones.
Pretty much my favourite Christmas medley ever, capturing the chaotic spirit of the season.
I bought this cassette single back in... I dunno, some 20 years ago or so. And in 20 years of Internet, I haven't found an easy way to share it, but finally I found a link.
It never fails to put a smile on my face. Hope you're smiling too.

Daily Reading for Sunday, December 29th, 2013
Reading 1, Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14
2 for the Lord honours the father above his children and upholds the rights of a mother over her sons.
3 Whoever respects a father expiates sins,
4 whoever honours a mother is like someone amassing a fortune.
5 Whoever respects a father will in turn be happy with children, the day he prays for help, he will be heard.
6 Long life comes to anyone who honours a father, whoever obeys the Lord makes a mother happy.
12 My child, support your father in his old age, do not grieve him during his life.
13 Even if his mind should fail, show him sympathy, do not despise him in your health and strength;
14 for kindness to a father will not be forgotten but will serve as reparation for your sins.
Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 128:1-2, 3, 4-5
1 [Song of Ascents] How blessed are all who fear Yahweh, who walk in his ways!
2 Your own labours will yield you a living, happy and prosperous will you be.
3 Your wife a fruitful vine in the inner places of your house. Your children round your table like shoots of an olive tree.
4 Such are the blessings that fall on those who fear Yahweh.
5 May Yahweh bless you from Zion! May you see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life,
Gospel, Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23
13 After they had left, suddenly the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, 'Get up, take the child and his mother with you, and escape into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, because Herod intends to search for the child and do away with him.'
14 So Joseph got up and, taking the child and his mother with him, left that night for Egypt,
15 where he stayed until Herod was dead. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: I called my son out of Egypt.
19 After Herod's death, suddenly the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
20 and said, 'Get up, take the child and his mother with you and go back to the land of Israel, for those who wanted to kill the child are dead.'
21 So Joseph got up and, taking the child and his mother with him, went back to the land of Israel.
22 But when he learnt that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod as ruler of Judaea he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the region of Galilee.
23 There he settled in a town called Nazareth. In this way the words spoken through the prophets were to be fulfilled: He will be called a Nazarene.
Reading 2, Colossians 3:12-21
12 As the chosen of God, then, the holy people whom he loves, you are to be clothed in heartfelt compassion, in generosity and humility, gentleness and patience.
13 Bear with one another; forgive each other if one of you has a complaint against another. The Lord has forgiven you; now you must do the same.
14 Over all these clothes, put on love, the perfect bond.
15 And may the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it is for this that you were called together in one body. Always be thankful.
16 Let the Word of Christ, in all its richness, find a home with you. Teach each other, and advise each other, in all wisdom. With gratitude in your hearts sing psalms and hymns and inspired songs to God;
17 and whatever you say or do, let it be in the name of the Lord Jesus, in thanksgiving to God the Father through him.
18 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as you should in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be sharp with them.
20 Children, be obedient to your parents always, because that is what will please the Lord.
21 Parents, do not irritate your children or they will lose heart.

Bible Resources
The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.
Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.

Compiled by Laura E. Gilmour
Best Products Co., Inc., left an indelible mark on the financial and cultural landscape of Virginia. The catalog showroom company that started in Richmond, Virginia, would go on to reach over $2 billion in sales, generated in hundreds of stores across the nation. The success of the company would not have been possible without the leadership of its founders, Sydney and Frances Lewis. The inseparable husband-and-wife team lead their company to the top ranks of business with groundbreaking ideas, and innovative advertising. Their catalog showroom idea would change the retail world forever. The couple passionately worked side by side, not only in business, but also as they served the community. Sydney and Frances gave generously to philanthropic organizations, supported the arts, and in the process changed the face of the commonwealth.

Get More Real Estate Leads Every Month Here
Have you ever posted something like this on your Facebook Page?
Here's the problem:
When you click that link, it does this…
That is NOT good.
Or, have you even shared a blog post by Zillow (Trulia)?
Ditto. Same thing. This Is Not Good.
You're really helping those big websites get better!
They get more traffic…more SEO rankings…more Facebook shares…and more eyeballs.
You're literally just building their business.
But, what if you could get leads from those links you share?
…now you can.
Snip.ly is a cool new app that creates a call to action on top of any real estate blog you share!
It helps you get leads and increase your branding. Here's what one looks like:
This gets YOU 2 things:
- Leads: Anyone that clicks your link has the potential to become a lead for you! So, if you have an Easy Agent Pro LeadSite, you can get people to your Seller Magnet. Or your schedule landing page. And they can come from ANYWHERE…even a Zillow blog.
- Face Recognition: You're able to brand it with your Face. This increases recognition. Did you know you have to make 7 impressions online with someone before they reach out to you in person?
::: Let's Set One Up :::
Step 1: Head over to Snip.ly and create a free account
Step 2: Fill in the information as you see below:
Step 3: Share your special link on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and wherever else you market!
That's it!
The cool thing is that now you can get leads from your LeadSite with traffic from Zillow!
Look at this, I've linked up my Seller Magnet on my LeadSite with a Snip of a blog post from Zillow. The blog post contains 5 tips for 1st time home sellers.
You can share this all over the web and home sellers will click it. They then see your face and can get a home valuation on your website. Even though the article they are reading was written on Zillow!
Isn't that cool?
Want a pro tip?
One of the cheapest ways to get leads is through content.
Did you know it literally costs 4-5X more to get leads from a landing page on Facebook than it does from a piece of content?
You can now share content from any site (Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com) and then have leads come directly to you.
Here's how:
Step 1: Create your Snip.ly link like above
Step 2: Boost your post on Facebook
People who are interested in buying or selling real estate will click your article. And see your face. Then, a percentage of them will click on your link and fill out your form.
You'll be saying:
Here's an interview of me with the Founder of Snip.ly discussing how to use it in real estate:
This doesn't replace the need to write useful information on your own website. And it doesn't help you with SEO.
But this is a great tactic to use when sharing articles (or some listings) when they aren't directly on your website.
If you're looking to get great results with a tool like this, you'll need a website that converts traffic into leads very well.
You simply are not going to get leads if you do this. And then link to a regular website. Regular websites simply aren't setup to convert visitors into leads.
I suggest sending this traffic to landing pages or a site that's optimized for lead conversion.
Are you going to check out Snip.ly? Let me know if you do…

Granted, many people aren't superstitious at all. But most superstitions have a strong basis in fact. Take Friday the 13th. This date has long been considered unlucky because it's believed to be the day Jesus was crucified. And let's face it: any day on which you get crucified is pretty damned unlucky.

Happy Memorial Day
Granted, many people aren't superstitious at all. But most superstitions have a strong basis in fact. Take Friday the 13th. This date has long been considered unlucky because it's believed to be the day Jesus was crucified. And let's face it: any day on which you get crucified is pretty damned unlucky.

I was born on Friday the 13th -- whether that was lucky or unlucky depends entirely upon your point of view, I suppose. . .
As for the beach superstitions, #7 and #9 cause me to believe that EE has been on family vacations similar to some of mine. Last time my whole family went to the beach, we had the fun of watching the hotel staff put all of the patio furniture into the swimming pool so the hurricane wouldn't blow it all into the ocean.

And the woman who knitted it for me, asked me if I wantd a second one and in what colour. If I have two scarfs, should I wear them at the same time?

Hugh Welsh
this wiki
- "Welsh should be okay. He's got a few scores left in him."
- — Lester Crest
Hugh Welsh is a character in Grand Theft Auto V. He is a gunman the player can employ to help out with heists.
Hugh is a quiet man of average appearance. His stats are low and his cut is only 7%, making him one of the worst crew members to choose.
Not much is known of Welsh's background. He appears to be an aspiring film writer, as Franklin Clinton mentions he writes screenplays in his spare time. He may have turned to crime as a result of failing in his writing career. He probably also tried to be an actor, as he says at the end of the roof approach in The Bureau Raid, that he took some impromptu lessons.
He is also the only crew member that shows some compassion with the other members, if he survives the covert approach of The Bureau Raid, while the other gunman dies, he says that he is the one who should have died in the building.
Events of GTA V
Welsh can be hired for The Bureau Raid, but he will die during the mission if he is chosen along with a good gunman. The only way for Hugh to survive in the covert approach, is if he is chosen along with Daryl Johns or Norm Richards. In this case, he or the other gunman will die randomly during the escape. So, if Hugh is killed in the explosion, repeat the mission until he is the one who survives. In the roof approach, he survives with no complications. In The Big Score, subtle approach, if chosen as the first gunman, Hugh will drop some gold bars while loading the Gauntlet, causing a $18 million loss for the crew, even if he has previously experienced the FIB heist, he will still drop gold. If chosen as the second gunman, there will be no consequences for the crew.
In the obvious approach, Hugh does a decent job being either the first or second gunman. It's important to know that if he is the second gunman and doesn't have previously experience, there will be more chances of him dying during the shootout against the police. The player needs to protect him, so the heist doesn't have any casualties. Also, like all other gunmen, he'll refuse to follow Michael and Franklin if he is with Franklin loading the gold for pickup, stating that it is "too heavy". Franklin will respond: "Good luck. I'm runnin'."
Mission Appearances
- The Bureau Raid (Optional/Can be Killed)
- The Big Score (Optional)
- If he is killed during The Bureau Raid, Franklin tells the remaining crew that Hugh liked to write screenplays in his spare time.
- Hugh will use the Assault Rifle in the Roof entry approach of The Bureau Raid, Franklin comments on it, asking him why he brought a weak weapon.
- For some reason, he along with Karl and Daryl cannot be recruited for a heist in replayable missions.
- Hugh shares his character model with Mr. Kenneth, and several other unnamed characters in the game.

Have you ever wanted an excuse to sit and engage in an activity which will give you a relaxing, invigorating, meaningful spiritual exercise?
If so, then these books are for you! Mary Fleeson, known to many for her spiritual artistic work in the Celtic tradition from the Lindisfarne Scriptorium, invites you to use the black and white outlines she has provided and colour your own meditations. Some are original works for the book, others are the outlines of her own previous work and some are fragments or details from them. She suggests water-colour crayons/pencils, or felt tips, though you might like to try water colours themselves. Even 'Multicoloured Contemplations', the smallest book provides 16 exercises, ranging from Celtic Crosses to knot work to pages covered with script. These are colouring books for the adult with a deeply spiritual purpose. I look forward to using them myself.
'Tapestry Threads' is rather different in that it provides 300 stickers created from Life Journey (see separate review) to use in journals and copyright is also waived for use in Church or organisation activities as long as they are not photocopied or posted to websites. The pages of stickers are interleaved with images and meditations from Holy Island. All these are highly recommended.

kittens in an Aga,
warm your hands on
it in winter or use it
as a cigarette lighter.
Some people even
cook dinner in it.
It arrived late one stormy night. We'd been expecting it all day and were losing hope when a little pick-up roared and splashed to our front door, bouncing a trailer behind it. An exhausted Welshman staggered out, wild-eyed and hairy. It was far too late for him to do anything constructive that night, and besides, he was in no fit state. He came in, gratefully sank a large whisky, shuddered for a few minutes and tottered into bed.
The next morning the assembly began. We'd already built a plinth - there had been a spot of bother with the plinth, actually, possibly because the more you discuss it with your friendly neighbourhood concrete vendor, the sillier the word sounds. But anyway, there it was, a sturdy plinth under the kitchen window.
On the plinth-site, there had once been a malevolent, grime-encrusted electric cooker that I'd hated steadily since moving to the country and finding it there. I sold it, via the free paper, during a memorable evening when the dog gave birth unexpectedly. We were left with six puppies, nothing to cook on and every reason to get an Aga. The only problem was expense. Agas are not cheap. So I bought Exchange & Mart and found the answer.
Deep in South Wales lived a young man whose father thought him useless. To prove him wrong, the son started a business, buying and reconditioning ancient stoves. I rang him and he said yes, of course he'd sell us an Aga. He'd deliver it and fit it too. A deal was struck. He'd arrive on Wednesday morning.
His father might have had a point. For a start, South Wales to East Sussex is some distance and he didn't set off early. Then, when he eventually awoke, he wasn't at all sure how to install it. We spent the next 24 hours heaving it in, in several bits, like cast-iron ultra-jumbo Lego. At last it was slotted together on its plinth - not quite level, and not working - but oh, so beautiful.
It is very old, probably dating from the late Thirties, and gives off a kind of Brief Encounter, we-can-cope-with-anything air that is both world-weary and very comforting. It was built to be fed daily with phurnacite by an exploited housemaid, but at some stage of its adolescence it was converted to oil and has long forgotten the rigours of riddling.
For a day or two it was enough just to look at it: then we summoned Mr Overy. He is an expert in this kind of thing and hadmastered the intricacies of our mammoth Janitor boiler, the oldest machine he has ever serviced - for which twice-yearly exercise, he assures us, he has to psyche himself up the night before. He whistles a lot, does Mr Overy, and he has twins. He said that we needed a flue.
Then began three difficult months. In its first incarnation, the flue was little more than a discreet vent. We had connected the Aga to an oil tank and now we lit its wick. It immediately struck back. Every surface in the room, including cheese, puppies and damp washing, was covered in a black film. The smell was pervasive, oily and rank. I should think the engine-room of a submarine smells like that, in time of war.
We tried a broader, altogether more serious flue. For an hour all was well. Then it struck back. We tried a sideways kind of flue. Another whoosh of greasy soot.
By this time, our diet had become largely blackish salads, dressed with extra- virgin diesel oil. Summer had come and gone; the evenings were becoming chillier; the kitchen was a bleak, austere place and the Aga sat brooding, broad and cold, under the window. One or two of the children were heard to mutter remarks about "home-cooking", with the hint of a sneer.
Eventually, determined not to be beaten, Mr Overy turned up again. "Take 27," he announced, unloading miles of fat, shiny piping, "and if this doesn't work, I'm giving up."
Astonishingly, it did. Low-flying aircraft and balloonists drifting over the hill on which our house is built have often wobbled off-course on spotting our gleaming flue, glinting silver in the sunlight. It leaves the Aga horizontally then takes a turn to the left: it goes round a corner, slides up a wall and then turns again to ascend the gable. Finally, it emerges triumphant at the top of the house, higher than the chimney and sporting a smart little cowl. It does the business, and we all rejoice.
Since those pioneering days, the Aga has become the hub of our house. It is, of course, magnificent to cook on. Well actually, the truth is that it's grand when you understand it. The hot oven is slightly too cool; the two rings don't boil and simmer as they should - but I can handle that.
And it makes superb Aga-toast. For this, a kind of flattened, hinged tennis racket is employed. The bread is clamped inside it and the whole thing squashed under the lid of the hot plate. The resultant patterning resembles the decoration on the gridiron used in the martyrdom of St Lawrence, as depicted by Tintoretto and other great painters. If you accidentally touch the toaster, you have a hint of what poor St Lawrence suffered.
But the Aga is much more than a cooker. Its steady heat anticipates the warmth of spring and delays the effect of winter. It is exactly the right height to lean on, and everyone does. If you're freezing, you can open the lids and get great blasts of heat on your face. It has been used to incubate kittens and even, in desperation, to light cigarettes (hell on the complexion, though).
One snowy winter we had a power cut for a week. There were no trains, the village school closed, the lanes became impassable and milk was delivered by helicopter. Children tobogganed throughout the bright, cold days and, as the light faded, dozens of them would stamp into our lamp-lit kitchen for what came to be known as Good Nourishing Soup, produced from a huge pot on top of the Aga. Modern Agas have electrical components and lose heat in such crises, but ours is too old for such wimpish refinement: it soldiered on. And I have every confidence that it will soldier on into the next millennium - and maybe even the one after that.

Book by Mathias David
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
This book emphasises details in the work of Greene & Greene as well as their gestalt design philosophy (designing house, furniture, decorative arts) and the important influences on their work. As was the case with their work, the author pulls together disparate influences such as the Arts & Crafts movement, Japanese architecture and philosophy, Chinese furniture and the environment and topography of California (a sometimes overlooked but crucial element). The three main chapters address history and influences; details in the broader view: architecture and unifying themes; and, details in the micro view: furniture and interiors (which were indistinguishable from furniture). Numerous new photographs together with historical photos, provides context and perspective.
Biographie de l'auteur :David Mathias is on the faculty of the Ohio State University where he has taught computer science since 1997. His interests include woodworking which led him to the Arts & Crafts movement in general and Greene & Greene in particular. He has built a number of pieces of furniture inspired by the Greenes and Gustav Stickley.

A poem written in Shakespearean English dedicated to the three people closest to me.
I was depressed about the play ending, meaning I would have to stop working with the crew, which was basically my life, for a while. It actually still impacts me now. Odd that such a simple extracirricular activity can do such strange things to my life.

Times are tough where a lot of us work but not as bad as they are at British Airways it seems. The airline is urging its staff to work for nothing to save the company money.
You read that right - WORK FOR NOTHING.
British Airways PLC is struggling to come up with ways to save cash after reporting its biggest full-year loss since the former national airline was privatized in 1987. BA chief Willie Walsh has said he would not draw a salary for the month of July, and urged other employees to work for blocks of time without being paid.
Right. Let's see how many takers he gets.
Of course, some critics of layoffs at Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools have said Superintendent Peter Gorman should work for free too.
Umm. Who do you think should help the bottom-line (CEO or otherwise) by working for free?

Work for free? Me???? Are you crazy?

Rather than work for free, everyone who has more than they need should give what extra they have to those who don't have enough.

I want an explanation as to why phonearena.com can vividly portray it's political side, but censors the rest of people that don't agree. For example, the comment as to "it does show that President Obama is a man of his convictions." If you paid any attention, Obama has already gone back on his word by not agreeing to continue to set funds aside for the new NASA program, which while he was campaining promised to fund. Conviction, sure... I hope his BB gets hacked and he suffers a great deal somehow from it.

Chapter 8 Portable Fire Extinguishers
Introduction Portable fire extinguishers designed to fight: –Small fires –Unusual fires –Fires that cannot be reached quickly with hoselines Fire extinguishers are a valuable tool 8.2
Introduction (cont'd.) Four basic PASS steps –P: Pull the pin –A: Aim the nozzle –S: Squeeze the handle –S: Sweep the base of the fire Fire extinguishers come in a variety of types and sizes 8.3
Fire Classification and Risk Type of material burning defines class of fire Different classes of fire used to identify type of extinguishers and agents used Four traditional classes of fire –Additional class added in the past few years Have a pre-incident plan for fuel types and locations 8.4
Class A Involves ordinary combustibles Can be extinguished with: –Water –Water-based agents –Foam –Multipurpose dry chemicals Water usually the agent used 8.5
Class B Flammable and combustible liquids, gases, and greases Special hazards: situations where fire extinguishers have not been tested Common extinguishing agents: –Carbon dioxide –Regular and multipurpose dry chemical –Foam 8.6
Class C Involves energized electrical equipment Water-based agents cannot be used Turn off electrical power and use appropriate extinguisher Categorized with another class of extinguisher: BC or ABC Agents include: –Carbon dioxide –Regular and multipurpose dry chemicals 8.7
Class D Involves combustible metals and alloys Can have erratic behavior Water and other agents can react violently when applied to burning combustible metals –Appear to explode when water applied No universal Class D extinguisher for all metals Class D agents called dry powders –Not to be confused with dry chemicals 8.8
Class K New classification as of 1998 Fires in combustible cooking fuels Agents are usually wet chemicals Agents usually used in fixed systems 8.9
8.10 Figure 8-1 Class K equipment.
Types of Fire Extinguishers Many types available Factors for selecting an extinguisher: –Type and amount of fuel –Person using extinguisher –Type of building construction and occupancy –Type of equipment protected Main objective is extinguishing the fire 8.11
8.12 Figure 8-2 Various types of fire extinguishers.
Types of Extinguishing Agents Water is the basic agent for class A materials Loaded stream extinguisher Water-based foam extinguishers have either: –Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) –Film-Forming Fluoroprotein Foam (FFFP) Carbon dioxide: inert gas stored under pressure as a liquid capable of being self-expelled Dry chemical agents: particles propelled by gaseous medium 8.13
Kinds of Extinguishers Many types are in use today: –Small and handheld –Large and require a wheeled cart Pump-type extinguishers are hand- pumped devices of two designs Stored pressure extinguishers expel gas to propel agent Cartridge-operated extinguishers have expelled gas stored in cartridge on side of container 8.14
8.15 Figure 8-3 (A) Older versions of fire extinguishers are labeled with colored geometrical shapes with letter designations. (B) Newer fire extinguishers are labeled with a picture label system. (C) Many fire extinguishers can be used to fight more than one type of fire. (A)(B)(C)
8.16 Figure 8-6 Inner workings of a stored pressure water extinguisher.
8.17 Figure 8-10 Inner workings of a stored pressure dry chemical extinguisher.
8.18 Figure 8-14 Inner workings of a carbon dioxide extinguisher with a fixed nozzle.
Rating Systems for Portable Extinguishers Each class of fuel is subjected to a separate type of extinguisher test for its class Usually conducted by independent testing agency Appropriate ratings and symbols are noted on label of extinguisher 8.19
Class A Testing utilizes wood cribbing Extinguisher should extinguish about 1 cubic foot of wood cribbing Ratings increase as amount of fire suppressed increases –Class 2-A extinguisher puts out twice the fire of 1-A 8.20
Class B Test involves igniting a pan of flammable liquid, allowing a pre-burn period, and attacking the fire Size of pan determines rating –4-square-foot pan yields rating of 4-B Ratings based on inexperienced extinguisher operator Larger fires require more agent per area than smaller ones 8.21
Class C Testing tests only the conductivity of: –Agent –Nozzle –Hose –Nozzle combination No actual fire test No numbers are assigned with Class C rating 8.22
8.23 Figure 8-20 Class C test for electrical conductivity of agent.
Limitations of Portable Extinguishers Exceeding capabilities can cause damage and injury Designed for specific purposes First-aid method for fire extinguishment Usually best to pick the larger size Wrong class extinguisher may not do the job –May cause a reaction or electrical shock 8.24
Portable Extinguisher Operation PASS outlines four simple steps for extinguisher use: –P: Pull the pin –A: Aim the nozzle –S: Squeeze the handle –S: Sweep the base of the fire 8.25
Care and Maintenance of Portable Extinguishers Simple inspections and careful storage prevent most problems Vehicle operators should periodically move unit from its bracket to hand test weight and do visual check 8.26
Care and Maintenance of Portable Extinguishers (cont'd.) Recharging water extinguisher is a simple process –Performed at fire station by any firefighter Unscrew and remove the top Add the manufacturers recommendation of water Add foam, if required Replace the top Charge the extinguisher with the manufacturers recommendation of air 8.27
8.28 Figure 8-21 (A) Unscrew and remove the top. (B) Add the manufacturer's recommendation of water. (C) Add foam, if required. (A) (B) (C)
8.29 Figure 8-21 (cont'd.) (D) Replace the top. (E) Charge the extinguisher with the manufacturer's recommendation of air. (D) (E)
Inspection Requirements Many popular fire extinguishers of the past are now obsolete Inspection of fire extinguishers is usually a visual inspection If something does not look right, extinguisher should be removed and replaced Extinguishers returned to service should be examined prior to their placement on apparatus 8.30
Lessons Learned Fire extinguishers can be used as: –Initial response tools –To fight fires in special situations Firefighters classify fires by their fuels –Ordinary combustibles –Flammable liquids and gases –Energized electrical equipment Four-step process for using an extinguisher: PASS 8.31

RECEIVE 20% OFF @ RED ROOF - USE DISCOUNT CODE: 601833 Does my dog need a title to compete?
I'm not a 1st-time competitor, but this is our 1st UAD Event...
THIS IS A QUALIFIER FOR THE 2017 ULTIMATE AIR GAMES AT PURINA FARMS IN OCTOBER. In order to qualify for UAG, your dog must be in the TOP 5 of the FINAL BUBBLE BEFORE THE FINALS - that means that the actual Finals of this event do not determine who qualifies. ROSETTE RIBBONS WILL BE AWARDED TO 1ST, 2ND, AND 3RD PLACES IN EACH DIVISION IN THE FINALS. YOUR DOG DOES NOT HAVE TO BE UKC REGISTERED TO JUMP AT THIS EVENT...OR ANY OF OUR EVENTS! This event includes UAD exclusive games: Fetch-It, Catch-It, and Chase-It. Our team will hold a demonstration of each game, followed by a hands-on practice session for those who are signed up (or are interested in signing up) before the actual event starts. We will not just throw you out there not knowing what you're doing - we will make every effort possible to teach everyone how to handle your dogs in these great new super fun games! Please note: Fetch-It, Catch-It, & Chase-It are $25 if you pre-register online, and $30 on-site registration. "FETCH-IT" is a sport that was developed by Milt Wilcox & Bill Richardson, and is only found at Ultimate Air Dogs. It is the horizontal version of a sport called "vertical". The rigs look very similar, but the outcome is completely opposite, whereby the dogs jump out, and not up... In other words, a very safe alternative, as well as an excellent training tool for distance jumping. Unlike the other "vertical" sports, dogs will not hit the bottom of the pool (risking serious injury) in the game of Fetch-It. UAD has done "vertical" in the past, but when we saw the horrifying footage taken from the underwater camera that we placed at the bottom of the pool specifically out of curiosity to view how the dogs were landing, we immediately cancelled the sport indefinitely, and developed Fetch-It. In Fetch-It, a bumper is suspended 4ft off the water, and starting at a minimum distance of 10ft out, the dog must knock the bumper out of it's hold within two trys in order to move to the next level. The bumper is moved out at 1ft increments and the dog that knocks the bumper off at the furthest distance wins. It is not only a sport of endurance and skill, it also helps your dog to jump further in our regular Splashes as it trains his or her muscle memory and improves speed on the dock... and it is only found at Ultimate Air Dogs, and now as seen on TV at the ProPlan Incredible Dog Challenge!!! "CATCH-IT" is new twist on the Ultimate Distance game (Splash). The winning team is so connected, that if the dog was a person, they would finish each others sentences! Catch-It was invented by our founder Milt Wilcox, and is only played at Ultimate Air Dogs!!! It runs the same way as a SPLASH, where two jumps for each dog are judged by 2 distance points, however the dog MUST catch the object thrown for the jump to count, as opposed to SPLASHES, where only the best jump is the score. The distance is recorded where the dog makes the catch, as well as where the dogs tail lands in the water. Each dog gets 2 back-to-back chances to make their best catch. Then, the jump distances are added together for the score. Not only is it an added challenge for the dog to catch the throw object while in mid-air, it also requires intense concentration, spot-on timing, and strategy from the handler. Catch-It is played by the most highly skilled teams. It is extremely fun to watch, and highly addicting!!!All of our sports have been a huge success for both the dogs and their handlers, as well as the fans that cheer on the dogs! "CHASE-IT" - is a timed swimming race that ultimately proves which dog is the FASTEST DOG!!! Please see the full descriptions of our exciting games here! JUMP PRICES FOR THIS EVENT: $25 PREREGISTER, $30 ONSITE REGISTER PER SPLASH, $30 PRE-REGISTER, $35 ONSITE REGISTER PER CATCH-IT, FETCH-IT, and CHASE-IT. Jump prices include the use of the dock for practice 1 hour BEFORE the Splash that you are signed up for. If you would like to practice prior to that or after that, please see the secretary to pay for additional practice time. NEW DOGS PRACTICE: If your dog is an above average swimmer and you just want to learn how to get your dog started in dock diving, or you are just interested in practice and do not want to compete, you can show up at the event and check in with the secretary, pay $10 per day per dog to practice between Splashes, but this is at the discretion of the UAD staff. If our Splashes are full, competitors that need to practice their dogs always come first. You do not need to fill out the form below if you are only interested in practicing. |
Pre-Registration for all UAD events will close the day before the first day of the event... IF YOU DO NOT REGISTER ONLINE BEFORE THEN, YOU WILL NEED TO REGISTER ON-SITE, WHICH WILL BE ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS. Please pay by cash or check at the event!

Giant Eagle 1 Reviews
Great storeThis Giant Eagle is far better in selection than any other I have been to. It has a variety of pantry and fresh food items that are always well-stocked. This one even has a salad bar! Some of the prices are a bit high but they do carry "no name" brands for half the cost. The location is great and when it's in season, vegetables are always on sale.

It was fun, I should try the other games as well.
Had a blast with my daughters doing carnivale! Honestly, everybody should give this a go! I use my brain last night and definitely had a lot of fun. I know we'll be going back to try another one next time we're on Melbourne. AWESOME

It's been unseasonably cold and snowy all week, and there's been a chill in my apartment that Kitty and I can't shake.
Kitty has a pretty good way of dealing with this.
Yep, hanging out on top of my old fashioned heaters.
Have you hugged your heater today? |
Here's hoping spring comes soon!

This is a well located hotel, not too far from the city centre (go out the rear exit, take the pedestrian bridge, walk down an nice, tree lined avenue, through a grand arch, to the city centre). Contrary to others' experiences, the wifi worked very well. The bedrooms were comfortable (although carpet felt like it was well used . . I was not comfortable walking around barefoot). I had a room facing the pool - it was nice and quiet. I enjoyed the breakfast buffet, although found it pricy at 210 pesos. . . . lots of fresh fruit though, and cottage cheese and yogurt; coffee was weak (and disappointing, given they grow some great coffee in Mexico) I had trouble getting the TV to work. The front desk staff were friendly and courteous. I would stay here again.
