Calendar-related crontab issues
crontab Hazards
This month, Charly considers Jacobin rule, Napoleon Bonaparte's neoconservatism, Jewish and Islamic tradition, and a cronjob that nearly worked.
Shortly after the French Revolution, France introduced a new calendar system. The idea at the time was to demonstrate the separation between church and state and to celebrate the decimal system as the triumph of reason.

Is it possible to add a "Add a field" button to allow visitors to repeat a field or a set of fields within the form.
For example, I want my visitors to give their relatives' names. I cannot guess how many relatives each visitor has. So I need to allow them to duplicate a certain number of fields.
Best regards.

Guidance on enlisting in the military
This is off-topic from most stuff on these boards, but I know a lot of military folks hang out here so I thought they could give me some guidance.
I've been thinking of enlisting for a while. However, I don't know anyone in the military, even second-hand, and don't have a clue about where to start research on my options, the different branches, and all of that--the only advice I've been given are "The recruiters will tell you anything so don't believe them." I'm thinking Marines, Navy, maybe Air Force, but those are just off the top of my head and not based on any knowledge of the workings of any particular branch.
So does anyone have any websites or guides for the prospective enlistee? What are my various options? How do you enter as an officer, and is it better to try that route?
Pertinent information: I don't have a bachelor's, got a perfect on the practice ASVAB on Military.com (but haven't taken the actual one, so it's probable that's not valid), and would probably want at least another six months of physical preparation before joining.
PM me. I went into the Marines as a Helo mech and then to ROTC to be an officer (USN). I can give you the scoop on enlisting, "O" stuff, USMC and USN.
There is some cool stuff to do out there now days.
The answer to your question like any other on this site is "it depends" :D
Seriously though, what I mean by that is the basic questions of why?(do you want to join the military), what?(do you want to take away from the experience?) should come before the who?(should you join in the end...).
My little story:
I'm currently in the Army Reserves as a 2nd Lieutenant, Platoon Leader in my Military Police Company, I took my Oath of Office in October 2007. Previously I had enlisted into the Army Reserves after graduating college in 2003, I did it this way on purpose because at the time I believed I would be a more effectual officer had I served in the enlisted ranks for a while and making my decision from there.
I've always had a strong sense of patriotism even as a teenager but was convinced by my parents not to apply to West Point or the Annapolis for college. After 9/11 I had seriously contemplated dropping out of college to pursue the military but decided the military would be much better served with my graduating with my B.S. in Electrical Engineer than running off half cocked and deserting my education. I chose the Army because it seemed like the Navy and Air Force were giving me the run around when I started to inquire into things. I didn't really think about the Marines, no particular reason, just didn't.
At the time I just wanted to serve in the Reserves and didn't really go into the specialties as much as I should have. I chose military police because at the time it sounded exciting and it's wasn't want I did in everyday life as a civilian.
In retrospect:
I perhaps should have chosen a branch of service that could have better utilized my Electrical Engineering degree, don't get me wrong I love the MP Corp. but I don't have much desire to go into law enforcement on the civilian side.
I do think I made the right choice in enlisting first and becoming an officer from there. My friend who is a naval aviator couldn't understand my reasoning, but we have different jobs and roles in regards to our subordinates. I may be responsible for the lives of people in my platoon out in a sandbox or on a mountain, they have placed their lives in my (and my platoon sergeants) hands they are my responsibility.
For active duty you can enter as an officer via OCS or ROTC as far as I know, if you enter via the Army National Guard/Reserves there is another way but I'm not sure if it is still an option.
The overall ASVAB score is not as important as the scores that come out of your ASVAB which are different for each service. More info here:
regardless of what you might hear from people.. the military is not bad at all. Yes recruiters will say whatever to get you to sign up but thats because they have a mission and a goal to sign up X amount of people in X amount of time.
My advice is to research each branch, find what each branch has to offer that is of interest to you. What do you want to do in the military? There are a lot of jobs, what would you like to work with? do you want to work with technology, do you want to travel a lot, do you want to go active, reserve, or guard? Do you want to go for college money or do you want to serve? As an officer you would have a lot of responsibilities, get a bigger paycheck but need a college degree. Enlisted means you have to climb the ranks, deal with a lot of BS, and at the same time you will have a blast.
It's really about what you want to do. If you go to military.com and check out the forums over there you can get some good information as they have a recruiting section and forums for each branch, lots of good info there.
I think the best advice I can give is to just do what you want to do and make sure it is what you want. Research and find what interests you.
If you have any questions about the Air Force, feel free to PM me. I've been working with enlisted folks for almost 9 years and can give you a good idea of the career paths they work in.
Well, I've wanted to be in the military since I was little, mostly out of duty reasons and because honestly it seemed pretty cool. But I never knew anyone in the military, and friends and family were all pretty incredulous at my interest, so outside of making attempts to apply for service academies it wasn't something I strongly pursued. The call to service has persisted, though.
There's that, and then there's the benefits--travel, structure, self-improvement, money for school, whatever. But the biggest thing is the call to service. I'm not really sure what I want to do, as I'm not sure what's even available. I've thought about doing medic-type work yet don't have any sort of background beyond CPR certification. Is there a place that lists all the jobs?
I believe you will find a lot of what you're looking for on here:
Ever thought about being a Navy Corpsman?
My understanding is that if you end up in a medical role they retrain you anyway. So for instance a civilian paramedic who become a PJ would still have to go through their combat medic school just like everyone else. So if you aim yourself that way, lacking training/certification may not be a big deal (although lacking any experience might make actually getting accepted a challenge).
I was in for six years.
Air Force
Loved it
Hated it
helped end my marriage
missed the birth of my daughter
40k for college
VA benefits for life due to combat and migraines
Not for everyone
Consider who else in your life it will effect
If you want a combat role. Consider this. Killing someone will change you.
It helped with civilian jobs
Would I do it all over again? Honestly don't know:D

When playing a new game of LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, what are the quickest routes (i.e. smallest number of Story Mode episodes required) to unlock a Sith, a Bounty Hunter and a small character so they can be used in Free Play levels?
What's the quickest way to unlock a Sith, a Bounty Hunter and a small character in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga?
There's a list of all the characters and how to unlock them on this page.
I've done what I can to find the "easiest" of each class, although they're a little poorly organized, so this might not be the most optimal path.
From this, I'd probably clear Episode 6 first, and work towards 16k studs to get Bib Fortuna.

Okay, first off I'm a compete server noob. So I apologize if I upset you with my ignorance.
I've currently set up a linode and had it installed with MySQL and apache. Right now, I'm trying to learn how to use REST to communicate from my iphone app to the server.
I want the app to send the server a set of coordinates, and for the server to do a search over its data and return back a list of other nearby coordinates. I also want to communicate with as little bandwidth usage as possible.
I heard GET is a good way to do this, but I've also heard that info (such as the coordinates) can easily be read by outside sources. Security is an issue, and I want all info sent to or received from the server to be private. Should I use POST to achieve this? Is there a better way? Can I send a request with JSON (for less bandwidth usage)?
Also is REST even a good route to do this? A lot of the tutorials I'm seeing seem to just get or manipulate data tables, and there's not much server logic going on behind the scenes. Is SOAP or something else better?
I'm really unclear on a lot of this at the moment and my google-fu is getting me slow results, so any info at all will be immensely helpful.

In facing the challenges of energy security and climate change, some developing member countries (DMCs) have taken the lead in promoting renewable energy. At the same time, expectations are raised for smart grid technology out of concern that unstable output of renewable energy will adversely affect the power systems which the power from renewable energy will be fed into. In this context, during the second meeting of the Asia Solar Energy Forum in Tokyo, Japan, in December 2010, several South Asia DMCs asked the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to provide capacity development technical assistance (TA) for developing the smart grid. The concept paper was approved on 20 May 2011 and further discussed during the Workshop for Solar Energy and Smart Grid in Jodhpur, India, in September 2011.

Premature pubarche—defined as the appearance of pubic hair before age 8 years in girls and 9 years in boys—has been traditionally considered a benign entity. However, recent evidence supports the notion that premature pubarche in girls may be a forerunner of the metabolic syndrome, and may precede the development of clinical ovarian androgen excess in adolescence. This sequence seems to occur more frequently when premature pubarche was preceded by reduced fetal growth and followed by excessive postnatal catch-up in height and particularly in weight; hyperinsulinemia appears to be a key factor in the development of this sequence of events. In girls with premature pubarche and a history of a low birth weight, puberty tends to start earlier and to have a faster course, so that final height may be moderately reduced. In these girls, metformin therapy may reverse the progression to clinical ovarian hyperandrogenism, normalize body composition and excess visceral fat, and delay pubertal progression without attenuating linear growth and bone mineralization, suggesting that adult height may be improved. Long-term follow-up of these patients is needed to fully determine the ultimate effects of insulin sensitization as well as the maintenance of these benefits after discontinuation of therapy.

I mean it's easy to follow but hard to know the behind reason.
I checked the code after the operation and found nothing is added.
Could someone help to figure out why? TIA.
well, I posted some description the tutorial says to help my question could be understood exactly.
"In the view, Control-drag from the text field to the yellow sphere in the scene dock (the yellow sphere represents the view controller object).

|Getting keys in a range sorted with respect to last access time
|Mon, 07 Jun 2010 16:04:08 GMT
Hey All, First of all I'll start with some questions on the default behavior of get_range_slices method defined in the thrift API. Given a keyrange with start-key "kstart" and end-key "kend", assuming kstart<kend; * Is it true that I'll get the range [kstart,kend) (kstart inclusive, kend exclusive)? * What's the default order of the rows in the result list? (assuming I am using an OPP) * (How) can we reverse the sorting order? * What would be the behavior in the case kstart>kend? Will I get an empty result list? Secondly, I have use case where I need to access the latest updated rows? How can this be possible? Writing a new partitioner? Best Regards, Utku

The Thin Red Line
The Thin Red Line
Thu, June 9, 2011 7 PM
Malick's take on a war film is one of the most visionary and philosophical epics ever produced by a major Hollywood studio.
The Thin Red Line is an adaptation of a novel about the World War II battle for Guadalcanal published by James Jones in 1962. Malick's film moves its all-star cast to the sidelines to focus on man's relationship to nature and violence, and the result is a multifaceted look at the experience of combat. Martin Scorsese called this uniquely sublime war picture the second greatest film of the 1990s. With Sean Penn, Adrien Brody, James Caviezel, Nick Nolte, and George Clooney. (171 mins., 35mm)

Project 180 provides services to prisoners and the public, improving life chances for inmates upon release and increasing safety and reentry literacy for the public.
Programs for Inmates: Over the last year, we've served over 300 inmates through our workforce education and financial literacy classes. Our volunteer CEOs and Financial Literacy Coaches provide inmates with essential information about how to find, obtain and get ahead in felon-friendly industries and how to improve financial stability.
Why do we teach inmates? Approximately 98% of our students will be released within 180 days; about 20% have never held a mainstream job. For their sake and ours, we want them to stabilize and find jobs quickly upon release. Employment develops dignity, provides a stake in mainstream life and is the number one factor in maintaining a crime-free life.
Public Education: If you have a family member or close friend who struggles with addiction, you've doubtless experienced the anguish and despair of watching helplessly while he or she self-destructs. It's also likely that your loved one has had contact with jail, prison or law enforcement personnel.
Project 180's annual lecture series, Strong Voices/Strong Subjects addresses addiction (the subject of 2016's series) and other issues associated with prisoner reentry and recidivism. Contact us to learn more about this series and how you can be involved.
1. Always Helpful:
$0 but invaluable to us: your time, talent and introductions to potential volunteers, donors and board members. Currently, we're seeking volunteers for our golf tournament in late summer 2016.
We also welcome financial industry professionals and CEOs of felon-friendly industries to join us in our prison programs as instructors and coaches.
We're seeking a marketing/PR professional and business owners of felon-friendly industries for our Board.
$25-$100: Have fun while being philanthropic! Hold a house party to benefit Project 180. Gather your friends and colleagues to spread the word about the need for our work.
$30-$720: Purchase a ticket for one lecture ($30) or three ($90) at Strong Voices/Strong Subjects, our annual luncheon lecture series. Or purchase a table for eight and educate your friends: $240 per lecture.
$300-$5,000: Become a sponsor of Strong Voices, Project 180's annual lecture series. Sponsorships include tickets to all three lectures and exposure for your company over a four-month period. Don't miss out this year! We're bringing Dr. Mary Jeanne Kreek, Senior Attending Physician at Rockefeller University in New York, to open the series on April 1 (no fooling). Dr. Kreek pioneered methadone maintenance therapy for heroin addicts in the 1960s and is one of the nation's foremost scientists in addictions research.
2. Wishful Thinking: Our dream residence is on the market. It's expensive and far out of our price range but we could rent it from you. In the $650,000 +/- range, it is absolutely ideal for our needs and would last us for years. Invest in real estate and Project 180!
Project 180's innovative programs and lecture series provide vital missing pieces in existing services for former offenders.
An essential gap that needs to be filled is a highly structured, two year residential program that operates at no cost to the offender or his family. Up to three offenders per day return from state prison to our area and approximately 45% are repeat offenders—Project 180's target population—who swell the ranks of the homeless and unemployed.
Just like the rest of us, offenders need stability: a home base, a job that will pay the bills and a community to belong to. They also need time to recover from prison life and move past victimhood (yes, offenders feel like victims and typically were victimized as children). They need a reason to join mainstream life and directions about how to do that.
Our project plan for Project 180's long-term residential program is modeled after the gold standard in reentry programs. It focuses on engaging offenders in community life through collaborations with current and future partners:
with local businesses for job skill training and apprenticeships
with schools for academic education
with non-profits for volunteer opportunities and exposure to the arts and humanities
with governmental agencies to heal distrust and foster a one-community spirit
We invite you to discuss our plan for the opening and operation of our Residential Program.
With sufficient funding, we can open our residential program and turn more lives around. From hiring house managers who have successfully transitioned from prison to mainstream life to housing and training our residents, we'll provide meaningful employment opportunities and better life opportunities for individuals eager for a second chance.
My partnership with Project 180 began in 2014 when I had the
opportunity to teach a Financial Literacy course at Hardee Correctional. What started as a means to complete CRA
requirements for my employer turned into a life-changing experience when I saw Project
180's impact on our students' lives. It opened my eyes to the struggles they'll
face upon release and the importance of giving them tools to lead productive lives
and stay out of prison.
I take a lot of pride in our in-prison courses. In our
Financial Literacy course, we teach the basics: the importance of creating a
relationship with a financial institution, how to open a checking account and use
an ATM card, how to write a check and balance an account. We cover how credit reports work and the impact
they have on one's ability to borrow. This knowledge is second nature to many
of us and fundamental to negotiating daily life. I was surprised by the number
of inmates who lacked this basic knowledge and am humbled to be able to share
it with them.
Our CEO Program is excellent, too. Our volunteer CEOs teach
inmates the importance of being prepared for an interview, how to have a
mutually beneficial relationship with an employer, become a valued employee and
grow within a company. In both our courses,
we emphasize the importance of employment as the number one factor in
maintaining a crime-free life. After
all, nothing stops a crime like a job.
Financial stability and employment are crucial. So are housing and sobriety. Our ultimate goal is to offer all these factors
in a two-year residential program for repeat offenders who are looking for a
second chance. Our ideal home is on the
market and we're seeking the resources to make an offer.
We've come a long way this year and are proud of our
progress. Project 180 not only encompasses the programs I've described but so
much more. I invite you to partner with us as we continue to grow and turn
lives around.
In 1998, I became interested in working with offenders when listening to an NPR show that focused on the educational disparity between the general population and prisoners. Today, almost half of Florida's state prisoners (40%) test at a fifth grade literacy level or lower. Back in 1998, for every one Black man in college, five were in prison or jail and the numbers weren't much better for Latino men.
The statistics from that radio show changed my life. I took action and began volunteering in the San Francisco jail system as the coordinator of a men's support group. The class took place weekly in a cramped, gray room behind numerous gates and bars at the top of the county courthouse. It was small and crowded but we were all happy to be there.
I never asked about my students' crimes and they didn't tell but I learned much later than many of the men were influential gang leaders on the outside. They were, to a man, smart and curious with solid business and management skills even though a number of them could barely read.
Those men, to whom I dedicate my current work, taught me far more than I taught them. I learned that those of us in the mainstream world can be greatly enriched by knowing men like these and can learn a lot about our community by listening to the stories of their lives. They have a profoundly different perspective to offer us: creative, viable answers to some of the community's most pressing social problems. All we have to do is start the conversation and listen.
Join us! It's a five hour trip; you'll spend about four hours behind razor wire but not behind bars.
In partnership with Cadence and other local banks, Project 180 delivers a financial literacy course for inmates using the FDIC Money Smart Program.
Our Coaches cover establishing credit, credit repair, and credit reports, the responsible use of credit cards, borrowing and loans, budgeting, the importance of saving, how to write a check, how to balance a check register and much more.
Comments from our Financial Literacy students:
"I never knew that investing could earn me money."
A former San Francisco restaurateur,
Barbara Richards has worked in the criminal justice field for almost twenty
years, advocating for a more reasonable response to the reentry/recidivism
cycle and providing services to offenders.
Barbara holds a Master's of Science
degree in Criminology & Criminal Justice from The Florida State University.
Her academic interests have focused on the relationship between employment and
successful prisoner reentry, convict leasing in Florida, segregated housing
units (extreme isolation during imprisonment) and the sociology of punishment.
She founded Project 180 after graduation, moved to the Gulf Coast and continues
to build support for Project 180 and the cause of prisoner reentry.
The theme for our 2015 series on April 3, May 1 and June 5 was "Crime, Punishment, Redemption" and included:
The 2016 Strong Voices lecture series will feature Dr. Mary Jeanne Kreek from The Rockefeller University, New York, FSU Professor Jane Dwyer, Sarasota County Sheriff Tom Knight and Susan Nilon.
We deeply appreciate the
opportunities provided by this generous donor whose contribution came with this
note, "I have heard many good things about Project 180 and feel that your
organization should be given a boost. Thank you for your commitment to giving
those who have had less fortunate lives than many of us a second chance."

Can a new mouthpiece for your woodwind instrument turn you immediately from an okay musician into an amazing one? Of course not - but it sure can make a huge difference in the tone and playability of your instrument. In fact, a quick mouthpiece swap can enhance your musical enjoyment tremendously. Whether you play the soprano sax, alto sax, Bb or Eb clarinet, this selection of woodwind mouthpieces consists of the most trusted mouthpiece brands on the globe, including Selmer Paris, Vandoren, Yamaha, Bundy and countless others.
Before starting your search, it helps to have a better understanding of how various mouthpiece materials and shapes can affect your sound. For example, hard rubber mouthpieces (sometimes called "ebonite") are quite common for many woodwind instruments and are known for delivering a rich, focused sound. On the other hand, metal mouthpieces help to produce a bright, cutting sound, which is why they're often favored by many jazz saxophonists. A mouthpiece's throat and cup design - as well as its inner diameter - can also have a huge impact on your resulting tone and intonation. Honestly, your best bet is to look at what your favorite musicians use and go from there; you might even want to consider trying out more than one style.
If you haven't yet noticed, this catalog is loaded with top-rated items and best sellers, and starting your search with those can certainly speed up your decision here as well. If you're a Bb clarinetist, check out a model from Vandoren like the 5RV Lyre Series Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece. Or, if you're new to the clarinet, go with a more affordable model like the Clark W Fobes Debut Student Clarinet Mouthpiece. As for saxophonists, you can't go wrong with a model from Meyer or Selmer Paris. Or, if you're a stage veteran, take a closer look at the Otto Link Metal Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece.
When you get right down to it, beginners, intermediates and pros alike have a seemingly endless range of woodwind mouthpieces to choose from, so try to spend some time here. You can also narrow down your options by using the "Subcategories" function. For example, if you play the clarinet, click on "Clarinet Mouthpieces". Or, if the sax is your woodwind of choice, click on "Saxophone Mouthpieces" and only those options will appear. Make no mistake, the perfect woodwind mouthpiece for you is waiting in these pages.

I've tried ticking only the first, only the second, and both. But whatever combination I choose, my test comments are published immediately. They don't go Pending, and I don't get a notification that there is a comment.
Could this be because so far, I am the only one posting comments and it recognises me as being the Administrator? If so, do I need to create a separate user in order to test my comment settings?

SocGen Asks Court to Make Kerviel Pay for Bank Trading Loss
Societe Generale SA asked a French court to order Jerome Kerviel to pay it the 4.9 billion euros ($6 billion) the bank lost in January 2008 unwinding 50 billion euros in unauthorized positions the former trader had taken.
"This is the story of a liar, it is the story of a faker," Jean Veil, a lawyer for Societe Generale, told the court yesterday during the bank's closing statement to judges. Kerviel "played like the bank was a casino."
Kerviel, 33, is on trial for abuse of trust, faking documents and hacking into the bank computers, creating fake hedges to mask the trades. He argued his superiors condoned his actions, lifting trading limits and "turning a blind eye" to questions. His actions were "professional mistakes," not criminal offences, he said in a final statement June 22.
Societe Generale, based in Paris, has victim status at the criminal trial that allows it to seek damages. In France, criminal trials precede civil claims and an acquittal would block any possible civil lawsuits.
The bank "could have asked for more," Veil said in closing arguments, listing items including interest and reputational harm.
Francois Martineau, another Societe Generale lawyer, told the court yesterday that Kerviel's story has changed since he was arrested more than two years ago and that his defense case "rests on a contradiction."
'Admitted Everything'
First Kerviel "admitted everything, recognized everything," Martineau said. "Then he changed his defense," saying the bank should have known, then that his superiors actively knew, and ultimately saying they'd "encouraged him."
Daniel Bouton, the bank's chief executive officer in 2008, yesterday told judges the trading loss was a "catastrophe." He stepped down from the CEO role after leading Societe Generale's 5.5 billion-euro capital-raising campaign, and as chairman a year later.
A group of five current and former Societe Generale employees sought damages from Kerviel totaling almost 92,000 euros. Individual investors requested that their losses to be considered as well, asking for 10 euros on top of the lost value of their stakes in the bank.
Kerviel faces as many as five years in jail and a criminal fine of 375,000 euros if found guilty.

'No Agreement' On Whether To Bring Marriage Equality Up For A Vote In New York Senate
Via Towleroad, it appears that marriage equality may not be on the New York Senate's final agenda: "Skelos said there is still no agreement on whether to bring same-sex marriage to a vote in his chamber. The bill passed the Assembly last week 80-63, and has the public support of 31 senators — one shy of the tally needed for passage. Skelos said 'we have not finalized the language in terms of religious protections' some senators are seeking, and as such, a vote has not been scheduled."

TravelPod Member ReviewsMercure Glasgow City Hotel
We paid next to nothing for our very short stay at the hotel. We came in from Troon late evening and left early the next morning for Oban so the hotel was really nothing more than a bed to sleep in.
Convenient location for Queen Street Station and Merchant City bars an restaurants.
Hotel booking engine we used had somehow got my name wrong with reservation even though I had booked through member site. The receptionist sorted that out easily.
We knew the room would be mall, but maybe a bit smaller than we expected. Noisy street so we had to close the window at some stage in the early morning to shut out the shouting drunks on the street below.
At the price we paid we have no complaints.

Historical Traveler Reviews Mercure Glasgow City Hotel
Not That Bad
Booked to stay in this hotel in April 2006, had already booked before reading trip advisor so was thinking about cancelling but didn't in the end.
We had just booked for a weekend break away in Glasgow. The room we got was ok, a bit on the small side but this is normal in the city centre. It was very clean and looked fresh. Maybe they had painted it. We didn't spend much time in our room anyway.
The service was good, the staff were very friendly. The breakfast was the best I have ever in a hotel with very attentive staff.
I didn't think it was all that bad and would probably stay there again.
Unfortunetly all reviews are correct
Myself and my friend were going over for a concert and she booked the hotel, when she told me the name I checked it on Trip Adviser and was a little apprehensive but said as long as its clean and central we will be okay.
However you know the minute you walk in you aren't going to love the hotel the revolving door looks like its been there since 1910 and the corridors are very narrow and they are stifling hot!!
The room (two single beds) was tiny and the bathroom was dirty with stains and hairs on the floor we rang reception and in all fairness someone came to clean it very quickly. The room was really warm and very badly designed, however the shower was fantastic.
All is all as already mentioned in previous posts the only thing going for the hotel is the location and I am sure you can get much better then that for the same price, very disappointing for a Ramada hotel as I was expecting more from them
Prior to staying at this Ramada on a business trip, I read the other reviews as I wanted to check what it was like. I was hoping the reviews were wrong but unfortunately not - and I did give it a chance.
The location in Glasgow is great. My room was OK but just rather badly laid out (television to the side of the bed) and with tacky decor. However my colleague's room had a terrible mattress on the bed which was broken and sloped down on one side. They were slow about getting back to her about changing rooms but in the end they managed to. They didn't seem apologetic.
Some of the staff were helpful but others were less so - it looks like a bit of a depressing place to work so I don't really blame them. The atmosphere is odd and not overly professional. Breakfast was ok but not the standard of other hotels. Tea tasted of disinfectant!
All in all if you go your stay should be fine but not overly comfortable. Basically don't book in there if you can avoid it - I'm considering writing to complain that such a big chain should make more effort to provide an excellent service as they claim to!
Hotel should be closed down
The air quality in this hotel is very poor and it will mess with your sinuses mine became irritaed after being in the room for a few minutes and was moved to another where the manager was able to open the window. There is no air systems in the hallways and rooms and the windows are impossible to open. I know the hotel would be shut if the health and safety department checked the air quality. Also the double rooms are tiny just enough room to walk around the bed. You have been warned.
Great location, but very poor hotel
Stayed in this hotel for one night in June2005. I will not be staying there again as it could do with a complete makeover. As soon as we stepped in through the old dated revolving door we knew we had made a major mistake. The dark musty reception area was the first indication that there was worse to come. Our room (telephone box size) was dark, really grubby and the wallpaper was peeling from the walls, and the carpet was filthy. The bathroom was mouldy around the bath .The net curtain was also filthy and the view was something else! Apart from the central location there are no positives about this hotel.
Not recommended
This hotel has a good location but I wish I'd checked with Trip Advisor before booking! The double bedroom was like a phone booth and the bed was only accessible from one side. The bathroom was dark with 1970s chocolate brown tiled walls and in need of a DIY expert. The view from the bedroom window was of a dirty courtyard with walls covered in bird droppings. The good things were, the staff were very helpfull and the breakfast was great (the best eggs ever). But I would never go back. We have nicknamed it "Colditz"
Small/Very Noisy
I checked into this hotel on Sat 14th May for 1 night only, thank goodness.
Reception area- a very strong smell of fish cooking./not very clean
Rooms- they are like shoe boxes and also not very clean. But the crowning glory is that if you are unfortunate enought to be at the side of the building that is adjancent to the Corinthian Bar/Nightclub you can have your own rave in your room,whether you want it or not !! You can hear all the music VERY Clearly and it goes on to 3AM. !!!
There is no way you can get any sleep in these rooms.
And you dont even get an apology from the hotel.
Unless you are an insomniac--Avoid this hotel at all costs
Terrible dirty small
Hotel rooms: Double room was tiny for two people , decor bad, carpets old and unclean, shower broke. When we went to our room at night we didnt realise a nightclub was beside the hotel and the music played to well after 3am all weekend, vibrating through the room. Then the noise of the people leaving continued after the music finished. FULL BREAKFAST: not organised chef brought out food at different times all choices not out together. Car park small and a distance from the hotel. Very disappointing weekend break as details in brouchures do not tell the truth and misled
Good Value But Drawbacks
Excellent city centre location and good value for money. Staff Helpful and friendly. Rooms are clean and tidy but decoration a bit run down and grubby.
Rooms were tiny and bed could only be accessed from one side only. View
was of a rundown back yard. Car Parking is at a premium and is located
at rear of building with insufficient parking bays to number of rooms.
As with any city centre hotel there can be some disturbance caused by
late night revellers returning to rooms and poor sound proofing does
not help. Buffet breakfast was excellent with attentive waiting staff.
A wonderful place to stay
My boyfriend and I recently stayed in Inverness for 2 nights and after staying at a quite disappointing hotel in Edinburgh we were pleasantly surprised with the Ramada Jarvis. The hotel from the outside is dreary but once inside it is elegantly decorated. The staff is courteous and prompt. Our room was enormous and the decoration was very modern. It was at least 20x20 room with plently of space. The bathroom was also spacious. The "ARTS" bar located within the hotel offers a decnt lunch menu and the bar staff are friendly & efficient. We only ate in the restaurant for breakfast but as with any other European hotel, just stick with cereal & toast. The car park was located on the riverside of the hotel and there was an entrance located right there which was a nice surprise. They had had a gymnasium, pool, & sauna. I would definitely recommend this hotel to all my friends & family.

Betty-ann Hoener, Ph.D., Chair
Meeting of October 4, 2001
PRESENT: Chair B. Hoener, M. Croughan, E. Froelicher, H. Harris, R. Malone, O. Plesh, S. Rankin
ABSENT: Vice Chair D. Wara, S. Kahl, C. Portillo
GUESTS: C.C. Wang
The meeting of the Equal Opportunity Committee was called to order by Chair Hoener on October 4, 2001 at about 2:00 p.m. in Room S118.
Chair Hoener reviewed the 00-01 EQOP Annual Report with the Committee, summarizing in particular the Search Committee Ambassador proposal.
Search Committee Ambassador Proposal: Chair Hoener reported on a recent meeting with Vice Chancellor D. Bainton regarding the ambassador proposal. Committee Vice Chair D. Wara and D. Dillon, Director of the Academic Personnel office, also attended. At that meeting, VC Bainton said that it was improbable any funding would be available to support the proposed staff ambassador position, and the group discussed alternatives. It was proposed that the Committee audit a group of existing searches. At the end of the meeting, VC Bainton provided to Chair Hoener copies of search committees assembled in the past 2-3 months.
The Committee discussed VC Bainton's suggestion. Committee members decided to create a questionnaire and contact search committee chairs to gather data. Chair Hoener will work with Senate staff to draft a letter of introduction and some recommended questions for search committees that will be distributed to the Committee for comment before the November EQOP meeting. The Committee will also recommend that gender and minority hiring and retention data be included in the stewardship reviews of department chairs. The School of Medicine may already be collecting such data due to an AAMC reporting requirement, and the Committee will determine if the other schools are doing anything similar. In addition, the Committee will work to gather information on resources for search committees, such as minority health sciences organizations, and make that information easily available to search committees and those who place ads.
Faculty Handbook: D. Wara will be taking the lead on revisions to the faculty handbook. Committee members received copies of current handbook. Chair Hoener requested that each member review the handbook as each member will be working to assess and potentially edit one or more sections.
The meeting adjourned at 3:00 p.m.

Senate Staff:

yes i do many photoshop in the background and style design .
wow, tenleid's untalented comments clearly shows no experience, photoshop is a tool of the trade. embrace photo manipulation it can help tweak good shots and can save other shots from disaster. clearly photoshop was used to boost the background in this shot. i find many compositional shots i have done have been saved by some post editing

Edward Jones/Times-News Prep Player of the Week
Blair Lamb, Golf East Henderson
Published: Tuesday, November 2, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 2, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
It's too bad that girls aren't allowed to play on the boys golf team in high school. If they were, East Henderson fans would have a few more weeks to see the most accomplished prep golfer in state history give the boys a run for their money. But for senior Blair Lamb the prep ride is over, and soon she'll be on to a much bigger stage -- college. On Oct. 30 at The Club at Longleaf in Southern Pines, Lamb finished her high school career in style, winning her third straight individual state championship and leading the Lady Eagles to their second straight team title. Lamb, who will be playing next year at Furman, ended the two-day 3-A/2-A/1-A state tournament with a score of 140 to take the title by six shots and earn this week's Edward Jones/Times-News Prep Player of the Week award, presented by Ryan Harman of Edward Jones Investments in Hendersonville. Lamb's first round of 68 was one shy of her own record that she set in 2003 and gave her the three lowest rounds in state championship tournament history (67, 68, 68). But as remarkable as those numbers are, they've become commonplace to East coach Carl Taylor. After that first round in Southern Pines, Taylor said, "She doesn't ever shock me anymore. It's just, 'that's Blair.'" And that means winning. Lamb, already a three-time Times-News Player of the Year, was the top individual in all 12 tournaments she competed in this season and carried an incredible 69 average. "I already knew what an incredible golfer she was, but in the past four years, I've also learned what an incredible young lady Blair is. While I will miss her dearly in high school, I'm definitely looking forward to going down and watching her play at Furman," Taylor said. Lamb's ironclad competitiveness has rubbed off on her teammates, especially junior Miranda VanArsdale, Taylor said. "I think Miranda has improved a great deal and has learned a lot from Blair. I believe that will carry over into next season for us," he said. Every part of Lamb's game -- driving, chipping, putting -- is solid, but Taylor said her main strength is the mental aspect. "She never loses her composure. You can tell when she gets angry after missing a shot, but she bounces right back with a great shot. She has fans that really enjoy watching her play. What intrigues me the most is that people would always say "Where's Blair? Where's that Lamb girl?" whenever we would arrive at a tournament," Taylor said. There were a slew of other candidates for the weekly award -- Hendersonville's Jessica Eblen and Jeanne-Marie LaBorde, Brevard's Britney Cloer, T.C. Roberson's Claire Duval and Polk County's Elisabeth Elliott. Over the weekend at the Cary Tennis Center in Cary, Eblen and LaBorde won the individual 1-A doubles title, and Cloer captured her second straight 2-A singles title. On Saturday at Jackson Park, Duval won the individual title in the 3-A West Regional cross country meet, and Elliott took home the individual title at the 1-A West Regional meet in Morganton.

Skip to comments.Michele Bachmann: Never mind Iowa, Im in it for the long haul
Posted on 01/03/2012 6:46:33 AM PST by SeekAndFind
One reason I've been eager and impatient for the Iowa caucuses is that I assumed at least a couple candidates would reconsider their presidential bids based on the results. But that looks to be increasingly improbable. Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are too viable to be discouraged by early upsets, Rick Santorum is poised to exceed expectations, Ron Paul has never been deterred by his unlikelihood to secure the nomination, Rick Perry considers Iowa to be the equivalent of the first mile of a marathon and Jon Huntsman says New Hampshire picks presidents. That leaves Michele Bachmann, who has clung to her August Ames Straw Poll victory as evidence that she has support in the Hawkeye State that isn't reflected in the current polls. If that turns out to not be true — and she finishes, say, last or something — will she drop out? No way, she says. The Daily Caller's Alex Pappas reports:
During an appearance on MNSBCs Morning Joe, Bachmann said her campaign has already bought our plane tickets. Were headed to South Carolina as soon as were done on Wednesday morning. Well be there. Were going the distance.
Bachmann won the Iowa Straw Poll in August, but suffered a fall hard as the campaign season went on. The most recent Des Moines Register poll shows her in last place, with 7 percent.
This isnt over, she said. Were not here for a post mortem. Were here because I intend to continue to launch our campaign out of Iowa. I think were going to do very well.
It's hard to say just why Bachmann fell; as a candidate, she didn't change from August to now. My best guess: Whereas her attacks on Tim Pawlenty resonated in some way at the time, her attacks on anybody and everybody but Mitt Romney ever since then have apparently begun to pall. They leave voters with the impression that she stands against liberalism even more than she stands for conservatism. Her congressional record of "no" votes just underlines that impression. If Gingrich's conservative credibility has been undermined somewhat by his superabundance of ideas and refusal to defend himself, then Bachmann's has been undermined by her lack of them and by her negativity toward her fellow competitors. In this GOP primary, voters — like Goldilocks — are really, really looking for just right … and not quite finding it.
good freaking grief, why wont Mrs "I am a serious candidate" who became retarded after having a HPV shot forced on her GIVE IT UP!
I have no idea. The Tea Party activist, Representative Bachmann was inspirational and a joy to hear. Today's POTUS candidate Bachmann is . . . not.
Bachmann's only way forward is as Romnry's VP. So staying in the race and continuing to divide the conservative vote as a means to insuring a Romney nomination victory is her obvious strategy,
But no thanks, Michele, by staying in you are hurting the conservative cause as well as your political future.
Get out on Jan 4 and you will be doing us all a favor.
Bachmann is reminding me more and more of Congressman Bob Dornan, who ran against Dole in 1996. Dornan never got out of single digits, dropped out of the primaries and then LOST his congressional seat to Loretta Sanchez.
Is Bachmann going to take up driving truck after tonight?
I think all the current candidates should remain in the race right until the end of the primary season. Let's give everybody in the country a voice in choosing the nominee.
I think all the current candidates should remain in the race right until the end of the primary season. Let's give everybody in the country a voice in choosing the nominee.
oh I don't want her to give up now, but tomorrow after she comes in dead last in her home state. (after the votes have been cast)
I kind of agree with you. It irks me when people say my candidate should drop out. It really irks me.
From the way it looks now, Huntsman and Bachmann don't seem to have a chance, but this race as been so volatile that who knows what will happen.
Plus, I, for one, am sick of Iowa. A little state with little caucuses should enjoy it's moment of glory, don't begrudge them, but should we pay THAT much attention to it.
It's tempting to want the other conservative to drop out. As someone said on Fox today, if Romney gets 30% of the vote, it means 70% of the voters want someone else.
The problem is that 70% is divided among Newt, Perry, Santorum and Bachmann.
Everybody wishes the 'other' conservatives would drop out and support their candidate.
I wonder who they would actually support if they dropped out?
Romney can't win unless THREE serious conservatives are also running to split the conservative vote (I don't count Paul as a conservative)
Once Bachmann and Santorum drop out, Romney is doomed. Until they drop out... Romney is going to look like a front runner because of his proximity to the top spot.
My choices in order of preference:
I would vote for any of those 4 over Paul and/or Romney, which I would never vote for in the primaries or the general.
This will hopefully be a very different GOP primary process than what we have seen in the past (when state primaries were winner-take-all). Instead of having the nominee decided before Super Tuesday (rendering all subsequent primaries a waste of time), we might actually have a chance to have a nominee who is not chosen by the establishment.
Samadams76, you are obviously "out of the mainstream" because what you say makes too much sense.
So many Freepers can't wait to pounce on a Michelle Bachmann thread and tell the rest of us how imperfect she is (like a Sarah Palin thread).
"Ohh, ooh, there's one - let me get in there and trash Michelle, she is so much less than any other candidate - all the others are shining stars, but that Michelle, she should just hang her head and resign her seat in the House...."
That's looking at it purely from a "horse-race" perspective. I would much prefer if everyone but Perry dropped out so he would get all the non-Romney vote as well. However, I want the people would vote in March to have a full slate of choices just like Iowa does.
I would like that too... IF Mitt Romney wasn't in the race. There is nothing I would like more than for Mitt and Paul to drop out tomorrow, and the remaining candidates duke it out till the last primary.
But that's not going to happen. And if they all stay in, the conservative vote is going to remain split enough to allow the libeal Mitt to win the nomination.
I would have preferred that certain candidates not run at all - Mitt Romney, especially. Then we would have been more likely to get a better mix of candidates into the race.
But it seems clear that Bachmann should drop out post Iowa. Why anyone would expect her to admit that before the vote is beyond me.
Then there's Tim Pawlenty, who dropped out after a straw poll, a cautionary tale for generations of candidates to come.
The GOP should field a conservative candidate who has appeal for libertarians and moderates. Having a prominent libertarian and moderate in the race sucking up oxygen is not a terribly good condition for producing a good nominee.
Bachmann has always been a joke. A typical lawyer, she lies through her teeth just about every time she opens her mouth. Everything she said about Gingrich was a baldfaced
lie and when he called her on it and asked why she was fabricating his record she looks at him in a trace and didn't say a word. She looked like her head was getting ready to spin around on her shoulders. I think she has mental issues. A few years earlier she introduced Gingrich at a fundraising event in Minn and said he was the greatest conservative in the history of the world. Unless she has an unlimited cash flow she'll have to get out after NH. She barely registers in SC, which Newt is going to win going away.
What I propose is a series of three "national" primaries occurring in say February, April and June. Now when I say national, I'm really talking about 50 separate state primaries (or caucuses if a state so chooses) held on the same day - three times.
I think this would add a lot of excitement to the process and get more people involved.
The first primary should be more of a weeding out process. Basically have it where you need a certain percentage of the vote (say 10%) to move on to the second primary. This primary shall have no delegates awarded.
The second primary (held around April) will award 50% of the available delegates on a proportional basis. This way, it will not be possible for a nominee to be selected but we will have a clear idea by now who the top tier of candidates are.
The third and final primary should be held in June. This primary would award the remaining 50% of the delegates on a proportional basis. If a candidate has amassed over 50% of the TOTAL delegates, he/she will go to the convention as the nominee. If no candidate has 50% of the total, then we will determine the nominee at the convention and candidates with smaller delegate totals will be in the position to release their delegates to the candidate they feel will best represent the party.
I believe this process will result in a much better quality nominee.
Let it be so!
I agree whole heartly. Iowa and New Hampshire have way to much influence and do not speak for the whole country. This whole process is so upside down. thanks for your thoughtful post. Denco
It seems that for some folks, the political process, and the adulation of average folks on the stump, seems to be some kind of addiction.
