Historical Traveler Reviews The Westin Riverwalk, San Antonio
Loved the Westin
We stayed 2 nights here and it was fabulous!!!! I can not say enough good things about the room, the service and the Heavenly Bed and linens. Special thanks to Sean the Concierge. He helped my husband make my birthday even more special buy renting a limo and getting me roses.
It was a weekend to remember!
We stayed here last week in a Jr. Suite. Our room and bathroom were beautiful. We were in a corner room, very quite. Our balcony overlooked the river, and we happened to be there for The Spurs Victory Parade on the river - quite exciting. Everyone was pleasant and helpful - we will definitely return!
Very nice Westin
Very nice hotel! My finacee and I stayed here for Memorial Day. HEAVENLY BED & BATH is truly heavenly. I would have bought the bed from them if they allowed. We had a deluxe room which was very spacious and comfortable. I loved the hotels sitting alcove areas. Great place to get some home design ideas. Staff was exceptionally courteous, helpful, and prompt. I requested a riverview and top floor, got both of them. The doormen are always on point about opening the door for you.The negative side is that it was hard to get the temp. just right in the room -- too cold. Expected the lobby area to be larger than what it was. The pool is very petite. Putting aside the negatives this place was still great. Very glad we stayed here, and would do it again.Where's there SPA!!!! This keeps them from being a 5-star hotel. Hebrews10:24
Great choice! Very comfy!
We loved the place! Quiet and very comfortable. Great workout room for a hotel at no extra charge. Taxes were almost 19 percent at checkout. We got a good military rate here, otherwise could be pricey with the taxes. Highly recommend this place.
A Wonderful Place to Stay!
My boyfriend and I just went to San Antonio for Fiesta and I'm so glad we chose to stay at the Westin Riverwalk. I knew it would be nice, but wasn't expecting it to be beyond expectations. This hotel is absolutely beautiful and the rooms are fabulous and very spacious. Our room had a balcony overlooking the Riverwalk which was also very nice. The Heavenly Bed is awesome! The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The staff was very friendly and helpful too. Room service was great. Another highlight of this hotel is it's right on the beautiful Riverwalk and was less than a block away from NIOSA (Night in Old San Antonio) which we had a great time going to for a couple of nights. This will definitely be the place we stay at when we make future trips to San Antonio!
San Antonio Riverwalk is a must-see
My husband and myself spent 4 wonderful days in San Antonio staying at the Westin Riverwalk Hotel. The weather was nothing less than perfect (especially coming from the horrible climate of Iowa). The hotel employees went out of their way to be pleasant and helpful. We spent countless hours just walking through downtown San Antonio trying not to miss a thing. The Alamo, Riverwalk and the Mexican Market are not to be missed. San Antonio can be a little on the pricey side especially with children, but great memories can be made here.
Great weekend escape!
Very nice front desk staff and bellmen, very eager to help and felt very welcomed. I booked online through their website and asked for early check-in and late check-out and had no problems at all. I got an excellent rate for a junior suite!My husband and I were amazed at the size of the room and the quality. Everything was wonderful, from a stocked mini bar, Starbucks Coffee, Bigelow Tea, lovely furniture, comfy bed that you never want to get out of to a beautiful bathroom. The shower is beautiful, the marble tub was great to soak in. I wish the tub would have been a little larger and it would have been perfect if it had been a whirlpool tub! They had a great make-up mirror, I really appreciated that! The hair dryer was great, not a flimsy one that hangs on the wall and barely blows. They even have a lit closet with more than enough space to hang an entire suitcase!We didn't pay extra for a River walk view because we knew the hotel wasn't located over the "hot spots", but we had a city view and really liked it. We were on the 8th floor, not too far from elevator. The walls are paper thin though, my only complaint! We heard the people next door talking on several occasions and could almost make out what they were saying.This hotel is very convenient to everything, if you don't mind a bit of a walk. After eating so much, we needed the walk! We did have one breakfast meal at the hotel, but found that it was a little expensive. The wait staff was very nice though and we loved sitting outside. We loved the hotel and would stay there again in a heartbeat! I highly recommend this hotel.
Good location, problems in other areas
The Westin has a very nice lobby. The guest rooms are comfortable with down comforters and nice extras like a bath robe, lighted makeup mirror, etc. The bathrooms are nice with marble tile. Unfortunately, the insulation is poor between rooms. We could hear the phone ringing in the room next door. They had a wake up call every morning at 6:30 a.m.! The other downfall was the pool is outdoors, is rather small, and is not heated.We went in March and it was too cold to swim. The excercise room is right off the pool and is well equipped. The restaurant is just okay. I had banana and blueberry crepes. The crepes were filled with granola and had the blueberries and banannas on top. This was rather unusual to me. There is no gift shop. A small amount of toiletries are available in the restaurant. There are no pop machines and a can of pop is $3.00 in the honor bar. I would most recommend this hotel because of its lacation. It is great to be on the Riverwalk. We had a nice view from our room.
Awesome hotel!
The hotel was great! As soon as we walked in all we coud say was "WOW!" The inside is beautifuly decorated and the elevators were fast! Our room was great! We had huge marble batherooms and all the little things (lighted makeup mirrors, starbucks in the room, comfortable beds) really added up to make for a pleasant stay. The service was nice and so were the resteraunts. Oh and if possible reserve a room with a veiw to the riverwalk! It's amazing! The only bad things were the hotel rooms have bad insulation or something because we could hear the next door neighbors talking. You have to pay for valet parking and other wise you have to walk a bit.The other downside for up was that the pool was outdoors and not heated and it was to cold to swim! But other than that it was great!
Clean, friendly place to stay
Stayed 4 nights in very comfortable rooms. An upscale hotel with friendly helpful staff. Walls between rooms do not muffle sounds - could hear people next door coughing. Beaufiful patio outside the hotel dining area next to Riverwalk, also outdoor patio/decks from 4th floor and main lobby overlook the Riverwalk.
Food in cafe/dining room not exceptionally good. Had a hard time finding any good food on the Riverwalk.

Travel Blogs from San Antonio
Shopping ... unsuccessfully
Our only activity today was an attempt to get the suitcases fuller before we head home in three weeks. We went to many stores over 6 hours and didn't get much at all, despite trying on lots of clothes. The day was pretty warm but it got overcast so the day was comfortable despite being in the late 80s. For lunch we had Taco Bell and for dinner we had ...
Underground caves and snake farm
... In the first caves there were no formations on the ceiling because the bats had left oils and dirt. The caves were awesome. Highlight of the second caves was when they turned out the lights for one minute and we were in total darkness. It was really cool being so dark that you couldn't see even your hand in front of your face. The 'fried egg' formations were cool and there was a lost bat in the first ...
Drive to Schertz...San Antonio
The day consisted of another drive, this time a short 3 1/2 hour drive to Schertz, which is 20 minutes outside San Antonio. We stopped here because the caves we want to visit are here. The drive took us pretty close to Houston central again but before the traffic got too crazy we were heading away from Houston and the road went town to just a couple of lanes for a while. The scenery is becoming more like the ...
San Antonio, TX: Day 1
... accommodation through the one site, and it didn't cost us anything (usually it would cost the fee of one nights accommodation!). By this stage I was completely and utterly exhausted, and it was near 4:30 pm. Rather than going out straight away we had a rest, then went to the River Walk in central downtown for dinner later. The temperature had absolutely dropped by this stage - sooo freezing cold! Going from hot to cold really messed with us (mum, dad and I anyway). We caught ...
Guten Tag
Today we went to the town of Fredericksburg, Texas. It is a great German town northwest of San Antonio. The shops along the main street are really interesting and they have a lot of different things to choose from. You can carry your beer around town with you, which the boys liked. It was a fun day and the kids were really good.

Questions on the calculus of variations, which deals with the optimization of functionals mostly defined on an infinite dimensional spaces.
The calculus of variations seeks to minimize or maximize an entire functional's worth of parameters instead of changing just one parameter. It achieves this by applying standard calculus techniques to the integral of a functional, thereby reducing $\mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ to just one parameter $\in\mathbb R$.
In symbols one considers $\max \int f(x) \ker(x) dx$ rather than $\max f(s)$.
Two famous applications of the calculus of variations are in regression analysis and deriving the catenary shape of a rope hanging between two poles.

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
The multibillion-dollar worldwide market for injectable antithrombotic drugs (including anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents) will continue to grow as minimally invasive surgical interventions to open blocked coronary vessels become increasingly commonplace.
Despite the agents available in the clinician's antithrombotic toolbox today, control of clotting remains suboptimal. Clinicians performing intravascular interventions are still faced with achieving the delicate balance between preventing the formation of ischemia-producing clots while allowing healing clots to form and develop normally to prevent excessive bleeding.
Antithrombotic technology in the acute and subacute care cardiovascular setting is poised for a paradigm shift and is in need of therapeutic alternatives with improved safety profiles and enhanced effectiveness. New treatment strategies capable of more selective and actively controlled inhibition of critical targets in the coagulation cascade will reduce the risk of adverse events associated with revascularization procedures.
Novel approaches that give clinicians a greater degree of control over coagulation will concomitantly minimize the risk of ischemia and bleeding and allow for real-time adjustment of the therapeutic effect in individual patients. The result will be optimized safety and efficacy of anticoagulant therapy and a broadly applicable approach to antithrombosis that embraces the principles and advantages of personalized medicine.
Patients with acute coronary syndromes routinely undergo coronary revascularization procedures such as percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI)—angioplasty with or without intracoronary stent placement—to unblock clogged arteries.
With the anticoagulant therapies available for use during PCI, patients are at risk of coagulation-related complications such as unwanted thrombus formation that can lead to myocardial infarction, stroke, and/or the need for vessel revascularization, or, at the other end of the spectrum, uncontrolled bleeding resulting in life-threatening exsanguination, the need for transfusion, and/or extensive medical treatment and a prolonged hospital stay.
Because existing anticoagulants are administered as IV infusions and the infusion is only stopped at the end of the PCI procedure, these drugs persist in the circulation and continue to exert their effects long after it would be desirable to reduce anticoagulation to a level that would minimize the risk of excessive bleeding and maintain homeostasis. The inability to reverse anticoagulant effects with an active control strategy adversely impacts both medical outcomes and the pharmacoeconomics of PCI.
While it is readily accepted that ischemic events lead to increased costs and grave medical consequences, it is not as well known that excessive bleeding carries a high cost in terms of both mortality and medical expenditures. Patients who experience a major bleed are at least two and a half times more likely to die in the hospital than those who do not.
The economic toll associated with bleeding complications has been estimated at $1,300 to more than $15,000 per patient. The treatment for bleeding may range from frequent monitoring of anticoagulation to extensive hands-on care, often requiring the use of compression or closure devices. In the instance of a major bleed, blood transfusions, with their associated costs and risks, are often necessary. Thus, the next generation of anticoagulants will need to address the issues of ischemia and bleeding equally well.
A pivotal characteristic of the optimized antithrombotic agent will be rapid, predictable, real-time control over coagulation. The ability of clinicians to adjust the antithrombotic effect in response to the specific patient and setting would allow them to minimize the risk of ischemia and of bleeding simultaneously without erring on the side of either clotting or anticoagulation. This is a realistic goal that is now within reach due to recent advances in the development of aptamer therapeutics paired with complementary active control agents.

Share it Please
I have another blue Valentine's Day manicure for you today.
For the base I used 2 coats of Cassiopeia, a franken that I had made. I then drew on the details with a mix of white and blue non-toxic acrylic paint! :D YAY!! :D
I want to mention to everyone who uses acrylic paint on their nails to please make sure it is labelled as non-toxic. There are so many paints out there that contain very harmful heavy metals, and you definitely don't want to expose your nails and skin to it. A lot of these toxic ingredients are used to produce brilliant colour payoff, so they are still used. I am a painter as well, and have many dangerous paints that contain cadmium and other toxic ingredients in them, and I save those for my regular paintings! I also use separate brushes for nail art vs. regular paintings to avoid contamination.
I hope you like this manicure, as it was really fun to make! :D
Have a wonderful Saturday, everyone!

Childbirth for some women can be experienced as a traumatic event whereby it is appraised as threatening to life and associated with feelings of fear, helplessness or horror. These women may develop symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder or its sub-clinical symptoms (post-traumatic stress, PTS). Cognitive processes such as attentional biases have been identified in individuals with PTS exposed to other traumatic events. This study used an experimental design (the modified Stroop task) to investigate the relationship between attentional biases and PTS symptoms in 50 women who experienced their labour and delivery as stressful and responded with fear, helplessness and horror. Attentional biases away from childbirth words were significantly associated with both symptoms of post-traumatic stress and more negative experiences of childbirth. A negative experience was also associated with more severe symptoms of PTS. Positive experiences were unassociated with attentional biases or symptoms. Post-traumatic stress responses, in this population, may be associated with avoidance, and through influencing cognitive processing, acting as a maintaining factor of distress.

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei condemned on Wednesday the deadly twin bomb blasts at the Boston Marathon but also chided what he described as a "contradictory" US approach to terrorism.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran, as a follower of the Islamic rationale, is against any blast and killing of innocent people whether in Boston, Pakistan, Afghanistan or Syria," Khamenei said in remarks on his website, leader.ir.
"The approach of the US and others who advocate human rights is contradictory in regards to the killing of innocent people," Khamenei said in a speech to army personnel and families.
They "remain silent on killing the innocent people of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria and then fill the world with a hue and cry following a couple of blasts in the US," he added.
The two bombs, which struck one of America's top sporting events on Monday, killed three people and wounded more than 170.
On Tuesday, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman "strongly condemned" the blasts, calling them a "source of sorrow."
The two adversaries, which have had no diplomatic relations for more than three decades, do not see eye to eye on a broad range of issues, including Tehran's disputed nuclear programme and its support for the Syrian regime.

I agree.
I'm fine with the moves. Dragic was the last guy that McD hadn't signed, traded for, or drafted. I don't think Dragic was ever in McD's long-term plans. I'm sad to see him go (actually Dragic's whole...
This team is not good. We are much slower offensively, have poor spacing, and are too predictable in our offense.
Pathetic performance. If Dragic doesn't start playing well he'll either get traded or won't get re-signed.
Good win. Dragic looked a bit better.
Very poor defense in the 1st half by both teams.
Dragic warming up in the 2nd quarter.
Len is going to be so good.
IT out with an ankle injury; Dragic and Bledsoe to rotate PG.
Dragic will need to lift his game but this is the best opportunity for him to do so.
Should be a W.
Yeah, he's been the biggest disappointment this season. I have no idea why.
Absolutely pathetic reffing in the last 30 seconds. Still, we should never have fallen so far behind.
Another tight finish. We shouldn't be just beating teams like Detroit.
Great game from Kieff, solid game from Len. Warren getting minutes and using them well.
A win is a win. Defense was poor again.
Lol Rondo missing all 3 FTs at the end. Maybe he felt sorry for Len.
Hornacek needs to go? LOL. Why the hell do fans overreact so much? It is amusing. We're 9 games into the season and coming into it most people believed we wouldn't make the playoffs.
The west...
Bad loss. Bench played poorly tonight and starters logged huge minutes (not looking good against Clippers tomorrow).
Bledsoe had more defensive rebounds than any of our bigs' total rebounds.
So is it just me or is the Suns' forum on PSD dead now? I haven't seen a lot of the old regulars posting, and the game threads are so quiet.
Wow, Lakers got their first win lol.
Ha ha, very true.
Agreed. I like it how Hornacek stuck with the guys who were playing well.
Massive 4th quarter. Up by 11 with 3:40 to go. Green and IT killing it.
Up by 7 with 4:20 to play!
Still in it, come on Suns!

Waters, Harris ready for a homecoming Saturday at Brevard
Published: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 10:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 10:25 p.m.
It will be a football homecoming this weekend at Brevard Memorial Stadium for Frankie Waters and Maurice Harris when Mars Hill comes to town to take on the Brevard College Tornados.
Saturday will mark the first time in three years that Waters and Harris, both 2007 Brevard High graduates who play for the Lions, have competed on the Brevard High field.
Following Tuesday night's practice in Mars Hill, Waters said that he's been looking forward to playing on his former home field.
"There will be a lot of family and friends in the stands. I actually can't wait to play (Brevard). They've won a lot of games," Waters, a 6-2, 200-pound junior, said. "When I came to Mars Hill, I thought there might be a chance that we would play at Brevard someday. I'm looking forward to it."
In his prep years, Waters was one of the fastest wideouts in the area. He finished his senior year catching 29 passes for 559 yards and seven touchdowns for the Blue Devils. He also made 69 combined tackles playing outside linebacker.
"Frankie has always been in our rotation, even right out of high school. Last year he got banged up a little bit and was out for a few games. This year, he's really coming into his own," Mars Hill Coach Tim Clifton said. "Last week, he had one of his best games of the season. He has great speed, and he's always a threat for the DBs. He gives you a big target, and he has great leaping ability."
Waters is also the Lions' main kickoff returner. In six games, he has 12 returns for 212 yards and is averaging 17.7 yards per return this season.
"It's really not that much," Waters said. "They aren't kicking to me as much as they did last year. Last year, I was averaging around 30 yards a return."
Another former Brevard standout also put up impressive numbers last season.
"Mo Harris had an excellent year his sophomore season. He led the team in sacks at defensive end (with seven) a year ago," Clifton said.
Harris has 13 solo tackles to go along with 12 assists, giving him 25 total tackles for the season. He finished with seven solo tackles, including two sacks, last week in Newberry, S.C.
Following the graduation of Waters and Harris, another familiar face also left Brevard former Blue Devil coach Dan Essenberg, who retired after his 30th year of coaching in 2007.
The game called him back, and now he's an assistant at East Henderson, donning green every Friday night. He said this will be the Tornados' biggest challenge of the season.
"I believe Mars Hill is going to be a good test for Brevard," Essenberg said. "Brevard is having a great year, but I know Mars Hill is going to be a measuring stick. I'm going to try to make it out there. I've got Frankie and Mo, he's a monster now, playing for Mars Hill and also (former East Henderson standout) Mikey Robinson.
"I just hope they get the game in. If we get the rain they are calling for, that field could be a mudhole."
Saturday's game time is 6 p.m. and will be aired live on WSQL 1240 AM.

Hi I am trying to set the visibility of a label based on a textbox string being empty. I have the following code:
MyLabel.Visible = String.IsNullOrEmpty(MyTextBox.Text);
Why does MyLabel not appear when the textbox is left empty?
I have tried placing this code in the Text_Changed event of the textbox and it still doesn't work.
This was an update issue, it does work on the Text_Changed event. However the issue is it does not work when triggered on the proccessing of the form.
Here is the code triggered from my controller class to give everyone a better insight as to what is going on:
using (var frm = new frmAdd(PersonType.Carer))
var res = frm.ShowDialog();
if (res == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
if (frm.ValidateInformation()) // the above code is called in here
// process the information here...
Also I forgot to mention that this form is in a Class Library project (dll).

Rock on, Britannia.
Much as I am proud for having served in a Royal Regiment with the Queen as my commander (true story, out of town when she visited and everyone else in my unit got medals) ...
I think it's more that we in the US have fallen so far in the level of our charitable worldwide actions at the government level than any other first-world nation, to the point where our miniscule 0.01 percent is just way too small compared to their more traditional 0.1 percent.
How far we've fallen ...
Is Britain going to be able to pick the leader of the World Bank now?
No, but they can Knight him ... (and Charles does remind me of the lion)
Bono -- Bono for Pres of World Bank!
God save the Queen.. She ain't a human being.. there is no future... for England.
Are they counting the subsidy they give Scotland?
No, that's part of the UK, BB. If it's not Scottish, it's carpe diem!
Up the Provos!
You're Zimbabwean, Charles. Do you really feel that attached to your evil jug-eared kidney-eating imperialist overlords?
Screw the World Bank.
Do people really think what the World Bank does is "charity"?

Released: Jul 01st, 1999
Running Time: 90
Director: Bobby Rinaldi
Company: Avena
Distribution Companies: Tight Ends
Cast: John Strong, Lexington Steele, Jenny MacArthur, Julie Meadows, Taylor Moore, Kasorn Swan, Brick Majors, Tye (I), Torri, Chris Cannon, Brandon Iron
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
A stylish, edgy all-sex vid for the impatient home stroker.
Hypothetically speaking, if Michael Ninn were to shoot a one day wonder, it might look very much like Heat. Set in an inky, candle-lit netherworld surrounded by a chain link fence, the décor in which all the costumed sex occurs is strikingly sparse. (In fact, Heat skirts a possible four A-rating, hampered only by the redundancy of its art direction.)
Regardless, at least two of the scenes are guaranteed pup-tent raisers. First, Julie Meadows has both holes filled with hot cockmeat courtesy of Brandon Iron and Chris Cannon, who pull out to speckle her black-gloved hands with their white spoo. Later, Taylor Moore utilizes the fence as a B/D prop, attaching Tori to the chain link in order to facilitate a hot wax-dripping, cunt-lapping session.
A few multi-partner liaisons fill out the tape in varying degrees of heat.

Sorry for duplicate post, seem to have initially placed in the wrong forum.
Set this up from a computer running Fedora. Tested in Chrome (version 21 I believe, an older version, due to compatibility issues with Linux) and it worked fine. Also worked fine in Firefox.
However, on a Mac using Chrome version 31, and Firefox version 26 the donate page box comes up blank. (It works in Safari though.)
I'm seeing some weird stuff in Firebug, most notably a 404 related to this:
Anyway my client keeps insisting the donation button doesn't "do anything" and lo and behold when working from a Mac it sure doesn't. I'm not sure where the problem lies but I'm using the latest version of the plugin. Please let me know what I can do from my side to resolve this. Since it's browser/OS specific I'm really hesitant to think it's any of my other plugins, of which there are very few anyway. Additionally, I am using the Twentyeleven theme.


text: 000 FXUS65 KPUB 240504 AFDPUB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 1104 PM MDT SAT JUL 23 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday) Issued at 243 PM MDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Wave passing by to the north has flattened the upper ridge slightly today, and was pushing a weak cold front south through the plains at mid-afternoon. While front has had little impact on max temps today, it has brought in a slightly drier/more stable airmass to portions of the I-25 corridor north of the Arkansas River, where CAPE has fallen off to around 500 j/kg at mid-afternoon. Better instability lies over the mountains and across the plains along and south of the Arkansas River, and expect these areas to see slightly greater convective coverage into the evening. Shear profiles again look fairly weak, so gusty outflow winds and brief heavy rain will be the main storm threats this evening, with a few mesoscale models developing a broken line of convection pushing eastward across the plains toward the KS border during the evening. Activity wanes overnight, though a few spot near the KS border could hold on to a some isolated tsra into early Sun morning. On Sunday, frontal boundary hangs up near the NM border, with upslope flow to the north of the front bringing back fairly deep moisture and instability to most of the eastern mountains and plains. Model progs suggest 2000+ J/KG CAPE over much of the plains in the afternoon, and expect tsra coverage and strength to increase most areas along and east of the mountains versus today. Severe threat will increase with greater instability, though 0-6km shear is still rather low (25-35 kts), with higher shear farther north over nern CO. Main concern may end up being heavy rain, especially Teller/El Paso counties where models develop fairly strong convection after 21z. Over the mountains and interior valleys, little change in the air mass, with another round of isolated to scattered tsra expected. Max temps most locations will drift downward a few degf, with most pronounced cooling over the plains, where readings should stay below 100f for a change. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday) Issued at 243 PM MDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Models continue to indicate an active weather pattern through the extended period with good model agreement and relatively moderate ensemble spreads, mostly in the finer details. Sunday night through Tuesday...high pressure aloft will begin to build across the region and retrograde westward during the first part of the work week. Several disturbances will shift across the state keeping the area under active weather conditions. Expect ongoing showers and thunderstorms across the region Sunday night as a strong upper level disturbance drifts slowly east across the plains. Moist low level upslope flow, modest instability and weak shear will combine to produce the widespread convection across the area. Both the GFS and NAM develop a strong cluster of thunderstorms over the I-25 corridor during the evening and shift it east across the plains overnight. Gusty outflow winds and near severe hail are possible. Abundant moisture should allow for locally heavy rainfall, with flash flooding a threat over burn scars, and possibly down into Colorado Springs and Pueblo. As the upper high builds westward, energy is forecast to track southeast across Colorado Monday and Tuesday. Southerly low level flow should keep moisture across the region allowing for daily rounds of showers and thunderstorms. Low level upslope will likely be regulated by left over outflow boundaries across the plains. If outflow boundaries can keep low level flow easterly, it will help pool moisture across the plains and help aid in precipitation generation across the area. Initial thunderstorm develop will happen by early afternoon over the mountains, spreading east into the plains during the evening hours. Steering flows are forecast to weaken as the upper high builds, with models indicating less activity spreading east on Tuesday than on Monday. Locally heavy rainfall will continue to be a threat with flash flooding possible on burn scars along with areas that see heavy rain Sunday. Small hail will also be likely with stronger storms. Wednesday...models in good agreement with the upper high becoming stationary over the Great Basin with northwest flow developing across Colorado, while a broad trough forms over the Ohio Valley. Lack of upper level forcing should keep shower and thunderstorm develop limited to Wednesday afternoon and evening over the mountains, with dry conditions forecast across the plains. Thursday through Saturday...the upper high will remain over the Great Basin with northwest flow expected across the Rockies. Several embedded disturbances are forecast to drop across the region in the northwest flow. Low level winds will be highly dependent on cold fronts and outflow boundaries, which at this time models have had a hard time with. Most indicate a boundary on Thursday, with another on Friday night. Both would bring increased low level moisture and upslope flow to the area. All models are in agreement with bringing more widespread shower and thunderstorm activity back to the area. Initial development over the mountains is expected, with increased northwest flow aloft allowing storms to move off the higher terrain and across the plains during the evening and overnight hours.

We have a volume on the NAS (NetApp filer) that we use for department shares. We just received requests to create several other shares which we do not have space for in the current volume (300GB). We would normally just extend the volume but the option of creating an additional volume for department shares was brought up.
My question: At what size (if any) should we consider just creating another volume? Some possible reasons to limit the size of volumes are:
Snapshot management
Consistency checks
Perhaps others have some additional reasons they could share per their experience.

SDCC: New "Star Trek" Series Gets Full Title, First Teaser Released
Hey, folks. It's me again. The sharp-minded among you may recognize me as that guy that posts extremely rarely, except when he has an idea for a project that he eventually lets languish. Well, one reason I so often lose time for posting is my job. I teach public school in the poorest neighborhood in Brooklyn and have for the past decade-plus. I'm still at the same school, but this year I was offered and opporllenge (opportunity + challenge, duh). I'm teaching eighth grade ELA (English Language Arts (reading and writing)). So far it's actually been excellent. I've never taught this age group before and while the challenges are certainly different from the young ones, the rewards are pretty great.
However, the biggest problem in getting these kids to be life-long self-motivated readers is the classroom library. This is probably the best classroom library I've ever inherited, but it's hardly flawless. Motivation is the key missing factor in a lot of these kids' reading lives. I did an interest survey among all three classes and found that even the kids who say they hate reading had topics they wanted to read about, or, more on-point for this site, methods of media presentation: comics.
My school literally has no money for books. We can't even hire subs when someone is absent. It's rough. There's donorschoose.org which is a great site I've used before, but the reading material is centered on younger kids.
So I went to Amazon and started a wish list for the class. It's got all the sorts of books the kids want: comics, stories of realistic problems and relationship drama, social issues, action stories, etc. So.
I know I'm not around much but I'm going to link to that wish list. If anyone has a few dollars lying around, buy us a book or two. Heck, buy the comics (lots of "normals" are buying the non-comics). Brighten these kids' futures by showing them it is possible to enjoy reading when it isn't the fifteenth time you read that Encyclopedia Brown book. I'll be adding to an altering this list as the year goes on to fulfill whatever needs we have at that point.
Just click here and start feeling great about your day.
Many thanks to Brian and the CSBG crew for allowing me to panhandle like this. I promise to write something actually about comics soon. (Or not …if you'd prefer me to keep my trap shut.)
Oh, and I love hearing suggestions for young adult books, be they comics or not. Feel free to let me know!
Done. Keep up the kick ass teachering.
Thanks! Awesome! Feel free to drop a name if you're contributing and I'll try to work some kind of thank you thing.
Great idea and one copy of Dodger on its way to you – as a reader from the UK, I thought that was appropriate – and obviously Terry Pratchett is awesome!
Hope this little bit helps!
Let me add my name to the chorus that this is an excellent idea.
You have a bunch of American Born Chinese on the way!
Thanks, guys! I really appreciate this, and more importantly, the kids do.
Shouldn't they be learning that reading is for nerds, sissies, and weirdos, and then given wedgies and dumped into garbage cans? Or am I projecting my own 8th grade experiences again?
I should look into seeing what I can donate.
Hey, Top Shelf's got a sale going on. I'll see if I can get Lost Girls for cheap
Hey, it would have gotten me reading in 8th grade.
Comics that might work for YA: the Minx books that DC had several years ago, Telgemeier's Babysitters Club adaptations…uh, can't think of any more right now.
Thanks, Travis, those are good ideas. Especially Lost Girls. I got the email about the Top Shelf thing and loaded up!
Good god, I hope you're kidding about Lost Girls like I was.
Actually, I hope you picked up a copy of Blankets. That's probably one the kids would like.
Oh who am I kidding, I have no idea.
Heh, don't worry. Much to what would be my boys' horrible disappointment (if they had any idea what we were talking about) I'm not buying Lost Girls.
I may disagree with many of your opinions, but this is highly worthwhile.
All Star Superman on the way.
Awesome! Thanks, man!
Just to let you know, All Star Superman is still on you list and isn't to be shipped for a month or two…but it is to be sent to the Brooklyn address.
If that's okay from an ex-Manhattan-ite.
Wow, thanks, man! That has been a popular one.
Did you get All Star Superman and Thirteen Reasons Why from me yet? Amazon says delivery was attempted Sept. 19, but the books were left at the post office.
Yup! A lot of books showed at various times without a sender, so it's hard to tell who sent what.
I wasn't sure if my name would be on the package or not. I wasn't looking for credit, I just wanted to make sure you got what I ordered. I think this is a great approach to the opporllenge you've taken on and I wish you all the success you and your kids deserve.
I'm catching up on my CSGB reading… btw work, grad school and the birth of my first child, I've been busy.
Came across this article – thought it was a great idea. Some books coming your way. Hopefully not too late.
that was supposed to read "between work, grad….", not btw
Ahh, wish you could edit….
Thanks, Josh and Joe! I like your names A LOT.

We just converted about 90 virtual directories on our server into rewrite rules in the URL rewrite tool. I don't notice any sort of slowness due to overhead of these rules on the webserver right now, but I couldn't find very much documentation regarding which method was better (virtual directory or rewrite). I was hoping to get some other feedback from users who have used the tool.
Here are some insights I have noticed:
- With the rewrite tool, you don't have to repeat the folder setup as you do with the virtual directory (authentication rules, SSL, etc). Any changes to the regular folder will automatically be in sync with the rewrite tool.
- You cannot point to a folder above the root using the URL rewrite tool but you can with a virtual directory
- The rewrite tool stores the rules in the web.config file for easy exporting, backup, or migrating
- The rewrite tool keeps the server more organized since you don't have so many virtual directories taking up space (using IIS Server manager)
- Setting up a rewrite rule to redirect to a specific url is more intuitive than setting up a virtual directory (I noticed the screens changed between IIS6 and IIS7 for virtual directories redirecting to a specific URL)

I am looking for simple straightforward solution for accessing EXIF information of jpeg images in .Net. Does anybody has experience with this?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
If you're compiling against v3 of the Framework (or later), then you can load the images using the
the one I have saved in feeddemon for me to check out more when I have time (when is that for a programmer? LOL) is below
ExifTagCollection - EXIF Metadata extraction library
A new and very fast library is ExifLib - A Fast Exif Data Extractor for .NET 2.0 by Simon McKenzie. I ended up using this one and the code is easy to use and understand. I used it for an app to rename according to the date taken. I wonder how many times such an app has been written.
My tip: Make sure to call Dispose on the ExifReader objects once you've finished with them or the files remain open.
I like Atalasoft's DotImage Photo, but its a closed source solution and costs about 600 per dev license.
You can also check out DTools at Codeplex, which is an open source framework designed to supplement the standard Fx. It includes some Exif related classes.
Check out this metadata extractor. It is written in Java but has also been ported to C#. I have used the Java version to write a small utility to rename my jpeg files based on the date and model tags. Very easy to use.
If you're willing to use an open-source library, may I humbly suggest one of my own creation?
The metadata-extractor project has been alive and well since 2002 for Java, and is now available for .NET.
It's available via NuGet or GitHub.
Sample usage:
Several years ago, I started a little JPEG EXIF app with Omar Shahine to work on JPEG EXIF files, called JpegHammer.
He extracted from that project a library and called it PhotoLibrary, it was an easy .NET wrapper for the EXIF 2.2 tags. Unfortunately, the GotDotNet site is gone, CodePlex doesn't have it, Omar's web site links don't work, and I don't have a copy anymore.
But, if you can dig around Google, maybe you'll find it and it'll do the trick for you.

Skip to comments.Cooling Pacific Heralds Active Atlantic Hurricane Season
Posted on 03/12/2007 7:04:28 PM PDT by blam
Cooling Pacific Heralds Active Atlantic Hurricane Season
CAMP SPRINGS, Maryland, March 9, 2007 (ENS) - On the heels of El Niño, its opposite, the cooling weather pattern in the east-central equatorial Pacific known as La Niña is expected to arrive soon, according to government forecasters. La Niña conditions in the Pacific typically mean a greater than normal number of Atlantic hurricanes.
In a weekly update, scientists at the NOAA Climate Prediction Center said that as the 2006-2007 El Niño has faded, surface and subsurface ocean temperatures have rapidly decreased.
Recently, cooler than normal water temperatures have developed at the surface in the east-central equatorial Pacific, indicating a possible transition to La Niña conditions.

These changes affect tropical rainfall patterns and atmospheric winds over the Pacific Ocean, which influence the patterns of rainfall and temperatures in many areas worldwide. Typically, across the United States during the spring and summer months, La Niña conditions do not significantly impact overall inland temperature and precipitation patterns,but La Niña episodes often do have an effect on Atlantic and Pacific hurricane activity.
"Although other scientific factors affect the frequency of hurricanes, there tends to be a greater than normal number of Atlantic hurricanes and fewer than normal number of eastern Pacific hurricanes during La Niña events," said NOAA Administrator Conrad Lautenbacher.
"During the winter, usual La Niña impacts include drier and warmer than average conditions over the southern United States," he said.
"NOAA's ability to detect and monitor the formation, duration and strength of El Niño and La Niña events is enhanced by continuous improvements in satellite and buoy observations in the equatorial Pacific," Lautenbacher explained.
The observing systems currently at work include the TAO/TRITON moored and Argo drift buoys, as well as NOAA's polar orbiting satellites.
"La Niña events sometimes follow on the heels of El Niño conditions," said Vernon Kousky, research meteorologist at the NOAA Climate Prediction Center. "It is a naturally occurring phenomenon that can last up to three years."
"While the status of El Niño/La Niña is of vital importance to our seasonal forecasts, it is but one measure we use when making actual temperature and precipitation forecasts," said Kousky.
La Niña episodes tend to develop during the four months from March through June, reach peak intensity during the December to February period, and then weaken during the following March to May period.
"The last lengthy La Niña event was 1998-2001, which contributed to serious drought conditions in many sections of the western United States," said Douglas Lecomte, drought specialist at the NOAA Climate Prediction Center.

In addition, atmospheric scientists have uncovered fresh evidence to support the controversial theory that global warming has contributed to the emergence of stronger hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and NOAA's National Climatic Data Center report that all the physical variables that converge to form hurricanes - wind speeds, wind directions and temperatures - feed off each other in ways that only make conditions more ripe for a storm.
The unsettling trend is confined to the Atlantic and does not hold up in any of the world's other oceans, researchers have also found.
James Kossin, a research scientist at UW-Madison's Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies, says the pattern emerged from a new dataset that correlates a variety of different satellite data over 22 years from 1983 to 2005.
"While we can see a correlation between global warming and hurricane strength, we still need to understand exactly why the Atlantic is reacting to warmer temperatures in this way, and that is much more difficult to do," says Kossin. "We need to be creating models and simulations to understand what is really happening here."
NOAA will issue the U.S. Spring Outlook on March 15, and its Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook in May. Both outlooks will reflect the most current La Niña forecast.
If we had only signed on to Kyoto, this wouldn't be happening.
It's been wetter and colder in the south, this winter.
Warm is bad, no cool is bad. (repeat 10,000 times)
Except nobody said that.
But, but, but I thought we were in a Global warming crisis?
None of the people that do the seasonal hurricane forecasts you here about consider global warming a factor at all in their forecasts.
Stopped clock.
What, is the Pacific Ocean going to pour gasoline on the East Coast and flick matches at it? :^)
Memo to Karl: rev up the weather machine and juice the power setting up to 7.
I know that. I live in "hurricane" alley and I can't recall one person in the meteorlogical community ever considering global warming as a factor. El nino, yes.
May I be the first to say?
Didnt they say lst year that it was going to be a horrible Hurrican season? I could have sworn they did.
If you want to know the weather look out the window.
What we really need is some kind of rodent to come out and tell us what the hurricane season will be.
Winter has the Groundhog.
How about a muskrat named Chocolate City Slim.
The geniuses at FEMA have 11,000 trailers ready to go.
It seemed to rain everyday in Feb here. Cold too.
Now THAT's funny!
MOre excuses to raise gas prices even further.
I put gas in my car last Thursday for $2.35/gallon. Today, I have seen it above $2.75!!
I'm glad there is a picture of "Dolphins play[ing] in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean" to help me better understand this article.
You made out Pardner. $ 2.47 here.
It's going to be cold. No, wait, it's going to be hot. No, wait, we are going to get lots of blizzards. No, wait, we are going to get lots of hurricanes. No, wait...
don't u mean sewer rat?
There's this strange perception that some sort of recordbreaking season was forecast last year because of global warming.
Which is completely fictional, of course.
An above-average season in terms of total activity was forecast - a slightly below average season happened, because of an unforecast El Nino (which can be very difficult to forecast itself, and you have to forecast the state of ENSO to forecast the Atlantic Hurricane season.)
And very few storms hit the US. Nobody really hyped a specific US landfall threat other than the incompetent buffoons at AccuWeather.
Does it really matter though? They are born. They die. Most blow out or gives us water. It only takes one bad one though and you can get it any year.
don't u mean sewer rat?
No If we had a sewer rat we would have to name it Bill Clinton.
But...but...this can't be!
What happened to Global Warming???
Algore said it would be hotter.....and he is never wrong!
After all...he invented the Internet!
Were you the one that posted this today?http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1799695/posts
>Except nobody said that.
Oh yes they did. The Guardian, June 1st, 2006:
17 Storms Slated For 2006 Hurricane Season.
Ill wind blows over storm-hit lands
The US hurricane season starts today with predictions of severe turbulence ahead
Alberto, Beryl, Chris and Debby. Somewhere over the Atlantic, a combination of warm sea surface temperatures and wind shear is brewing up a string of tropical storms that threaten to unleash a fresh season of devastation on coastal America.
With New Orleans still surrounded by the wreckage of Katrina, a new hurricane season gets under way today - and with it, the realisation that the coming six months could well bring a repetition of the panic and confusion that revealed a vulnerability many Americans had previously been unaware of.
Yesterday, a new forecast from the respected team of hurricane experts at Colorado State University predicted 17 named storms in 2006, including nine hurricanes. Five of those will be category three storms, with winds of more than 110 miles per hour. "We believe 2006 will be a very active season in the Atlantic basin," the report said.
In 2006
The University of Colorado team predicts that this year there will be 17 named tropical storms, of which 9 will be hurricanes. Of these, five will be serious Category Three storms.
A Category Three hurricane features winds of more than 110mph.
Researchers believe the chance of a major storm like this making landfall in the US next year is 82%.
It is most likely to strike the east coast, including Florida.
You are right
Th libs will be winding up Al Gore.
Poor Al. Looks like he's in trouble again. We really should name a "cain" after him.
Repeat of the story from the Guardian mentioned earlier:
A Category Three hurricane features winds of more than 110mph.The bold face type is in the original.
Researchers believe the chance of a major storm like this making landfall in the US next year [2006] is 82%.
It is most likely to strike the east coast, including Florida.
Actually they do. Their pay is based on ratings. Which statement is likely to get more viewers: "Weather is going to be same old same" or "Disaster, we're all going to die!"
In the words of Rushbo, "Follow the money".
Time for.......
"experts at Colorado State University"
Well they were a little bit off weren't they? Maybe it's because Colorado is so far from an ocean.
WAIT!! Did you clear this report with Algore?
The 2006 Atlantic hurricane season will be very active with up to 10 hurricanes...it appears that the Pacific Ocean water conditions known as El Nino and La Nina will not have any impact on the Atlantic hurricane season this year, forecasters said. (MSNBC, 5/22/06)
Here too in South Texas. They are about as good at predicting as Al Gore, last year was going to be the worst hurricane season ever. Don't recall one hurricane!
We flooded in Brownsville today. It was so weird. My son called me to take him to lunch because it was " raining" It was sprinkling. About 10 minutes later we were at Star and it was pouring and lightening flashing everywhere. It seemed to let up some so I took him back to work and headed to my office. I hit major flooding that was coming up on the hood and transformers were popping. There was no place to pull over but I made it thru . Many didn't though. All this happened in less than 30 minutes.
My daughter lives about 45 minutes from there, she is a Drug - Rep and covers Brownsville.
We, more in the central coast area, had a terrific storm in the middle of the night and got 1 1/2 inches of rain. I thought it was coming from the south but perhaps it moved down your way!
I used to live in Crosby on the other side of Houston (tornado alley). Before the rain I thought it looked like hail/tornado weather.
I would rather live in a hurricane area than a tornado area, at least we are for-warned and can prepare.
I grew up in Texas City, lol.
Some places we get them both though, huh? :')

Its a lifesaver, with minor glitches... but cheap..I needed it to connect my portable hardrive to my pc.This is the only branded mini-usb to usb cable I can find online which works with my Segate freeagent- go portable HDD(harddrive). The problems is this type cable is not easily available in local electronic shops as most portable HDD now work with usb 3.0 cables which are different... and even if you can manage to find a cheap 1 somehow it won't work with your HDD. Sooo basically a lifesaver cuz without it I would have to throw away my HDD... but sometimes the connection breaks if you move the hdd. Anywazys its dirtcheap... soo no complains … (Expand)

HappyI have ordered a micro USB cable from ebay once and they gave a crap stuff by which I cannot charge my mobile phone. I was bit doubt full since then buying these kind of items online. But took one more chance with flipkart as they never disappointed me till I purchase this cable. And as expected, this one worked as intended and delivery was also very quick.
