Score from 342 reviews Very good
We arrived later in the evening, after the restaurant and bar were closed. The front desk clerk apologized and went out of her way to get us some water. Very friendly.
The only complaint that I have, which is typical of most hotel rooms, is that the sink drains are very slow. It would be advisable for hotels to routinely "service" their drains.
Guest service
Carpets in lobby and suite very dirty
the location was great, clean, included restaurant with options for breakfast. The staff friendly and efficient. The pool and hot tub made for a relaxing experience.
The closet was tiny but fortunately we did not have a whole lot to hang-up. The coffee maker was not plugged (part of wall cabinet so had to remove it from cabinet and run from desk: not a big deal, just messy! Parking extra $16 but conveniently located.
Bar on the lobby
Walking to other eating places
Booking.com states parking is free and it wasn't
Reserve a king bed, got a queen bed.
Stayed there last saturday august the second. Hotel looks way better in pictures. Washrooms are dated and only two elevators. Think of a very very old apartment renovated mildly...bc this is exactly what it is. The manger his name was Matt was fantastic
too old, old washrooms, old elevator hallways smelled really bad
The room was not what I had expected fron the pics I had seen online..the hotel itself was nice but my room was very dated
Location was close to all amenities
We were told that there would be wifi service in room but unfortunately there was none , unless we can be in the lobby..had to pay for parking however when I booked it was not stated ..I was told be coz I booked from a third party which is booking .com ..that is why it was not mentioned to us about the extra charge..The service was poor for the money I paid...
Restaurant prices rather high.
The dining room was great with wonderful staff.
I liked the my room as well as the location
The staff weren't polite as well as the wifi that you already have to pay 15$ extra for was barely working and when I called to ask to fix it they told me there was nothing they could do about it.
I liked the cleanliness of the room. The location is great and the food was good as well.
I DID NOT like that the receptionist (named Amal) was being very rude. Seemed like she had a bad day. I've stayed there a couple of times and this isn't the first time I've had a problem with her. I also didn't like that I had to pay a 10$ fee for a late check out 12:30 and check out is at 12. I've stayed in multiple hotels and this is the first hotel to charge me a late check out fee.
The location was great.
That I had to pay for parking. Was not impressed with is as I never had to pay for parking before.
I needed to stay close to the airport as we were flying early the next day. The hotel was close to the airport and provided a shuttle that left every half an hour. The dinner buffet was good for what we paid.
The receptionist seemed like she was having a bit of a bad day. She came across as a bit abrupt to the people in front of me who were checking in and then myself as well.
The location
The service. The room. The fact that there was no wifi in my room and I should have been informed about it prior to me checking in. As well as the room was not worth the price I payed for it. It is old and needs renovations. Did not like the staffs attitude when I called to ask why there was no wifi in my room
friendly staff
Priced very high for a hotel with rooms outdated, i booked a deluxe king room and only one breakfast was free and this was not communicated to me upon arrival. Cleaning staff very loud when on floor cleaning rooms.
Front desk staff were very nice Free shuttle from & to the airport Bed was decently comfortable. Clean room
Noise! The walls are thin with no sound barrier z I could hear every word the people above and next door to me said. Not to mention their tv etc. Everyone's nice as long as you tip big. The bag delivery help to my room ( I was in a cast and on crutches) were polite until I said I really can't afford to tip you but here is $5. The guy rolled is eyes and walked away. Very rude. The shuttle driver was the same deal. Expecting large tips. All he did was whine to me that no one tips him even celebrities. I had to pay $20 each was for the airport airline porter & could not spend money tipping the shuttle driver. I was extremely polite & thankful. Then he looked at me and say " seriously are you for real" as he waited for a large tip. Again I thanked him. ( for doing his job!) he rolled his eyes and said " I can't believe you. So the staff all feel the world owes them and are only friendly to get tips. Well not everyone can afford to tip every single staff member. What happened to the genuine nice people that earn their pay. If he's relying on tips he should get educated land a higher paying job.

If I Fall Lyrics - Amber Pacific
Review The Song (84)
This is for the ones who believe their lives won't change
Hoping that someday things will mend and be the same
And this is for the ones who have lost it all
When all that's left to gain
Is a simple reminder that the things that we're blind to slip away
How can I say
Say I'll be okay
And if I fall through these days that go by without cause
Just a painful mistake has left me here on my own
And if I fall through these nights I can't seem to go on
Just a sign that you're with me gives me the strength to hold on
Now that the line's been broken
I'm too afraid to just look back
The pages have left an empty space
You were all I had
Why does it have to be this way
These things they'll never change
Still I'm left with knowing, content and happy, this is all I need
And if I fall through these days that go by without cause
Just a painful mistake has left me here on my own
And if I fall through these nights I can't seem to go on
Just a sign that you're with me gives me the strength to hold on
And if I fall through these days that go by without cause
Just a painful mistake has left me here on my own
And if I fall through these nights I can't seem to go on
Just a sign that you're with me gives me the strength to hold on

For you | Reviewer: Moron | 2/23/14
This was the last song that he'd told me. i hope he could still suggest and give me songs that are pleasing to my ears like this one. I hope we could still talk to each other. I kinda miss him. Hey, if you ever read this, please talk to me again? we can be friends again. I swear, i won't fall for you AGAIN. because i think, i'm starting to like my best friend...secretly.
a simple memories to share... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/2/13
im so touch with this song. The first i played this song. I really want to cry out. It is exactly what i want to say to my first love, that once my bestfriend. Were very close to each other until one day he started ignoring me. I hate the way what he is doing until now. I dont know what to act. I feel left behind. Ang this song really reminds me of him, I love him so much... So how can i say... say i'll be okay... please tell me regie,just to go away...
if i fall | Reviewer: Tinkerbelle13 | 6/28/12
it is kind of song that can touch one's heart,a heart that has been broke or loved.that song reminds me of my boy friend.that i never used to think that i will going to love him the way he do.because,he is my hatest person,but now,he is my one and only love.ILoveHimSomuch:) IloveYou john vonjoe:)
helps through the days | Reviewer: dixeychic | 6/30/11
I cant stop listening to this song. To me it says about having nothing and giving up but it also says I can go on with you by my side. My husbands birthday is today and he is in prison and it pains me that he is there and somehow this song with its lyrics is easing it alittle for me. It makes me realize I will never give up on him. Wanted to bail him out before his birthday but alas no money. But he has me by his side.
my love for shovee | Reviewer: james gamaliel | 1/15/11

well | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/2/10
this song is just amazing to me. and it actually doesn't make me think of my ex. well, mostly not. but it just makes me think of everyone. it makes me think of my friends, my enemies, the school jock, the school nerd, my mom, my dad, my grandpa that i've never met, my great great uncle that died when i was 4, the guy that works at walmart because he couldn't afford college, and the homeless man that i saw but regretably didn't give any of my money to. this song just makes me think about everyone and everything and all that's happening around us.
it is truly amazing. <3 amber pacific

love | Reviewer: Cassie | 8/4/09
So i was dating the most perfect boy of my life. Had everything all together, good job, nice apartment..was a 3 years older than me. Perfect boy of my life. We met at work, We dated for a year and half. Im not a jealous person, but i was always threatened by this one girl, who was SO gorgeous. They never hung out much but when then started too, i got a little worried...i kept my jealousness to myself until one night, they went to a party one of his best friends was throwing. I knew how he looked at her, becuase the day before i recieved a text from him (it was suppose to go to his friend, not me) saying, I hope (insert chicks name) comes, i wanna check her out! so that pissed me off...anyways, they went to his friends party, and at about 1 30 am, he tells me hes home, watching a movie, so i wanted to call him, and he tells me that (insert chicks name) was over watching it with him. so i lost it. we fought, and stopped talking for 2 days, then he comes over, balls his eyes out, and tells me how much he loves me, and that i shoulnt worry about that girl becuase i was the only one in his future. So we made up. Made plans for the weekend to get back on track, then the neext day, i get i text message from him telling me he was comming by after work to bring my stuff by.
this happened 2 months ago, he completly cut me out of his life. He gave me no reason. i cried for 2 weeks stright. i still cry whenever i think about it.
i keep wondering what happened or what i did wrong.
after a year and a half, i get dumped, without a reason or a hint of a reason, over a text message.
love never lasts.
shame ='c | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/27/09
this song reminds me of my past relationship,coz i made my biggest mistake. . . that's why she left me in the middle of my success. i made my dreams with her and now she's gone, i don't know how to start again, or rebuild my dreams without her by my side,i wish i could turn back the time that she with me, if only i can take back the word i've said, if only i can put things back, if only i can take her hand again. . . maybe it is the best gift i've ever receive, to have her again, , ,=c

=( | Reviewer: dee | 4/17/09
this song is amazing i love it but it reminds me of all the things that went wrong in my last relationship. he was my deff 1st love, but i wasnt his. he promised me he loved me & whatnot but after 5ish months he broke up with me. and i thought i was completely over it. i had my mind set that i didnt love him. but i do. and he has a girlfriend now. and im kindof seeing someone. so all i keep trying to do is get over him. i see him at the train soemtimes, but he honestly cant stand me. he thinks i liked someone while we went out, not true, but oh well. amber pacific, youre amazing <3

Radiohead Last Flowers Lyrics
Last updated: 08/18/2013 07:27:57 AM
Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people's toes
Snot-nosed little punk
And I can't face the evening straight
You can't offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief
Relief, relief, relief...
And if I'm gonna talk
I just wanna talk
Please don't interrupt
Just sit back and listen
'cause I can't face the evening straight
You can't offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief
relief, relief, relief, relief, relief...
It's too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Thanks to Mostafa for submitting Last Flowers Lyrics.
Confessions | Reviewer: EM | 8/18/13
This song is number one in my playlist. I came to listen to it when I first watched Confessions ( a Japanese psychological film) and I must say, the song gave such an impact on the movie. A great song for a great movie.
This song is just purely perfect for me | Reviewer: Haardik Gabbi | 2/21/13
The lyrics the music it all are connected so well .... you can actually feel the pain and sorrow in his voice and i can link to this song .... P.S Radiohead is my favorite band Love from India
Nirvana + Radiohead | Reviewer: Trebol | 1/28/10
Did you guys ever heard Thom Yorke wrote this mostly based on those last weeks of Kurt Cobains life? I don't know if they had an actual relationship as musicians and songwriters but the band R.E.M. was very very close to both bands and I think Thom wrote this like saying 'Hey Kurt you had a tough life and this is how I feel about it'
take me there and you'll get relief | Reviewer: cupcake | 8/12/09
i am totally in love with this song... as soon as i got the disc 2 songs, after flipping through the others quickly this was the first one i listened through fully. i think it's beautiful.
one interesting bit, is the part where he says "take me there and you'll get relief".
I was really really intrigued by the old Radiohead websites they have linked in their archives. Even though parts of the websites kept going in freaking circles I was determined to see and read every one.
In the website that they had made sometime either during OK Computer or between OK Computer and Kid A, this is a page I found.
radiohead. com/Archive/Site2/rad028.html
Notice the 4th line down - the same line as in the song. I was just really excited to recognise the line - perhaps Last Flowers is a little older than you'd expect? Or perhaps he's just reusing another lyric, but whatever. Just a fun tip.
Powerful! | Reviewer: Herbert | 6/6/09
I remember driving and listening to the cd for the first time; when this song started playing, I just had to stop and listen... then I said I had to play it myself on the piano... wow! you can't imagine how powerful it is, it'll take you further away - beautiful!
greatt shit | Reviewer: senssi24 | 5/26/09
i might see a possible therapy reference in here..and if im gonna talk, i just want to talk, please dont interrupt, just sit back and listen..after tons of therapy i can definitely see some relation towards that..the piano in this song is also beautiful
10x Radiohead for their new album "In Rainbows" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/22/08
I like this song so much, is perfect to listen it in down moments, Radiohead is my favorite Band, these lads are great!!!, im from Mexico and i like their style really!!!, but the "Videotape" song is great too!
different take | Reviewer: jono | 2/19/08
i'm coming off anti-depressants after several years (radiohead might not be the best option) haha, but the lyrics are incredible and echo my reliance on medication
-you can offer me escape
-if you take me then you'll get relief
thanks again lads
possibly the greatest song of all time | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/24/07
I was obsessed with this song. Then i read the lyrics. I'm now deranged due to the sheer perfection of this song, even by Radiohead standards. Thank you forever.

A 55-year-old Fort Wayne man was arrested Friday on preliminary charges accusing him of multiple instances of child molesting.
John L. Newman, of the 800 block of Wilt Street, is charged in two separate cases of sexually abusing two girls known to him.
According to court documents, the girls' mothers went to his home to look for them, but they were not where they were supposed to be.
Later, while they were being interviewed at the Bill Lewis Center for Children, the girls said they had been with Newman, and when he heard their mothers looking for them, he told them to put their clothes on.
The girls then detailed multiple instances in which they said Newman performed sex acts on them, took videos of them and made each watch while he molested the other.
He is accused of abusing them between May and Dec. 10, 2013.
Newman is also accused of performing sexual conduct in the presence of a minor and of child exploitation. Police recovered digital images of Newman with one of the girls in sexually explicit positions, according to court documents.
He was being held in the Allen County Jail in lieu of $105,000 bail.

I received a phone call from a collection agency for a pay day loan company telling me that they were sending charges for fraud and I would be prosecuted if I didnt arrange a payment that day. Can they do this? I think it is only a civil matter and not a criminal matter, is this correct?
No. Michigan law specifically prohibits criminal fraud charges arising out of the failure to pay a pay day loan. This kind of sleazy tactic by the collection agency violates both state and federal debt collection practices statutes. Under these collection practice laws, you are entitled to recover money damages against the collection agency and, in some cases, even punitive damages, plus your costs and attorney fees.
My advice is do not hesitate to contact an attorney immediately. If you would like to consult with me (no charge), feel free to contact me at: (248) 540-9270 or by direct e-mail: email@example.com. It would be my pleasure to help you put a stop to this kind of abuse.
I would give Attorney Liblang a call. She is correct. These collection practices happen all the time and are not right. You are correct. It is a civil matter and the collection agency has no authority to prosecute you as they say. In fact, it is quite possible they they could be prosecuted for extortion. Give Attorney Liblang a call. Good Luck!
Payday lenders make this threat all the time, but I have yet to see any law enforcement prosecute on it. Public prosecutors are not debt collectors and they have plenty to do going after people who have actually committed crimes. In Nevada, it is a crime to pass a check when you know it is no good, but a payday lender knew the check wasn't good when they accepted, so they forfeited their right to complain to law enforcement.
Your state government regulates payday lenders and you may wish to complain to your government about this untrue and unethical collection practice. Hope this perspective helps!

November 29, 2014
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- Bankrupt Patriot Coal will become the first U.S. operator to stop large-scale mountaintop removal mining in Central Appalachia under a historic agreement with three environmental groups.
The deal was struck Thursday and presented to a federal judge in Huntington.
It stems from pollution lawsuits filed by the Sierra Club, Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition and West Virginia Highlands Conservancy.
St. Louis-based Patriot must resolve litigation during its bankruptcy proceedings.
It will idle some equipment immediately, phasing out large-scale strip mining. Going forward, it agrees to do only small-scale surface mining near planned or existing underground operations.
In exchange, it gets more time to install selenium treatment systems at several mines.
The agreement caps how much coal Patriot can produce from surface mines and requires it to withdraw two valley-fill permit applications.

A herbicide developed by US-based Monsanto and contaminated fertilizer may be behind an epidemic of mystery kidney disease in Sri Lanka and South America where rice and sugarcane is grown, a research study has suggested.
The paper by Channa Jayasumana (Rajarata University, Sri Lanka), Sarath Gunatilake (California State University, USA) and Priyantha Senanayake (Hela Suwaya Organization, Sri Lanka) has been published in Swiss-based International Journals of Environmental Research and Public Health.
Glyphosate-metal complex
N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine a widely used herbicide better known as glyphosate, could be helping carry heavy metals toxic to kidneys, occurring naturally and in agro-chemicals such as phosphate fertilizer, the researchers said.
Chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) first appeared in Sri Lanka's rice growing areas in the north central province in the 1990s and has been spreading into other areas including the South, with over 20,000 estimated deaths so far.
Glyphosate was originally used as a de-scaling agent to clean out calcium and other mineral deposits in hot water systems, the study said. De-scaling agents tie themselves to on metals like Calcium and Magnesium and makes them water soluble.
It was later sold as a herbicide by US-based Monsanto under the brand name 'Round up' and was under patent until 2000. By 2012 China became the largest producer of glyphosate in the world.
The mystery kidney disease is mostly found in areas with 'hard' ground water (water containing Calcium, Magnesium, Strontium and Iron and other chemicals) except in Sri Lanka's northern province where the ground water is also hard.
But in the Northern Province agro-chemical use was banned until the end of a civil war to prevent them being used to make bombs until a few years ago and there was no CKDu epidemic there yet, providing evidence to a recent agro-chemical link, the paper said.
Other researchers have earlier found Arsenic in hair and nails of victims and even healthy individuals in the affected areas.
The researchers cite findings saying the affected rice growing areas are naturally rich in heavy metals including Nickel, Chromium, Cobalt and others.
Triple-super-phosphate (TSP) fertilizer used in farming was also found to contain heavy metals and Arsenic.
"...[W]ithin a couple of weeks after the spraying of glyphosate farmers apply triple phosphate (TSP) to the paddy fields," the researchers said.
"Recent findings have shown that the TSP available in Sri Lanka is contaminated with significant amounts of Cd (Cadmium), Cr (Cromium), Ni (Nickel) and Pb (lead).
"Furthermore, it was also found that TSP used in Sri Lanka is a very rich source of arsenic."
The paper cited anecdotal reports of shallow wells that have becoming increasingly contaminated and being abandoned by farmers.
The disease was also not found in people drinking from natural springs which had no hard water and pipe-borne water.

College and the education loan borrowing process
I don't think it's any surprise to parents that loans from institutions are the largest form of student aid. Nor is it surprising that these loans entice students to pursue degrees unavailable without them. In fact, most kids, my son included can expect to receive a loan as part of a financial aid package in many cases. Recently, after attending a Financial Aid workshop I also learned that there are two other broad categories of loans: loans based on financial need and the loans not based on financial need. Huh?
After a 10 minute conversation with a college loan officer my "Huh?" question was answered as followed: "Need-based loans usually share three distinct features…"
- Low interest rates.
- No payments on principal are needed until the student graduates or leaves school.
- In-school interest subsidy may be used (which means the government pays the interest that accrues on the loan while the student is in school and during the six-month grace period after graduation resulting in substantial savings).
(Legislative Update: For Subsidized Stafford Loans for which the first disbursement is made on or after July 1, 2012, and before July 1, 2014, students will be responsible for the interest that accrues on the loan during the grace period. If a student does not pay the interest accrued, the interest will be capitalized to the principal amount of their loan when the grace period ends.)
I was then informed of the non-need-based loans which are used to help families that can't afford to pay their expected contribution from savings and current income.
As mentioned earlier, many colleges will include one or more of these loans in a student's award letter. The three features of the non-need-based loans are that they:
- Usually have higher interest rates
- Have no in-school interest subsidy
- May also require immediate repayment of principal.
As a member of the lower middle class my wife and I were told we "make too much for need-based loans", so our interest has centered on 3 important loan opportunities for households in our bracket. The Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, which, if approved, will reduce the amount of interest payments. With this a promissory note must be filled out by your child and if the app. is approved the funds are then sent directly to your kid's school of choice. The PLUS loan (a parent loan) allows for the total cost of education minus any aid (scholarships etc.) received. In most cases there is a quick turn around (approval) and here, too, the money is sent directly to the university/college.
Private or alternative loans would be my last option because they have higher interest rates, plus a credit check is required, lengthening the approval waiting period. Colleges and universities often provide a list of private loan sources and the College Board provides private loans for students.
The borrowing process, if needed, can be overwhelming to parents of college-aged students. It is nice to know that that are alternatives out there away from traditional loans. Now to take advantage of them!

Just 20 of the nearly 40 included songs actually come from the Disney Channel - the rest are culled from previous DDR releases, and several Konami originals make their first appearance on the PlayStation 2 here. But with only four songs each from High School Musical and Hannah Montana - a fraction of what's been produced - the track selection seems awfully conservative and not at all comprehensive. Already planning for the sequel, Disney?
And without video clips or other fanfare, Dance Dance Revolution: Disney Channel Edition is more a feature-light DDR title with Disney bits sprinkled on than a true melding of hot properties. Not that it's terrible, but we can only watch Kim Possible gyrate for so long before folding up our dance mats and moving on.

Some examples
life # | | |

and, previous_element|
An alternative wording for First Volley:
label , A. andA, A|
The syntax works as follows.
In the first line something occurs, for example "you win the game".
In the 2nd line something occurs that requires information, for example paying life, the information, in this case the amount of life is the 2nd .
The 3rd line shows two things occurring one after another.

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday home in Alcala de los Gazules - Casa Vista

Typically Spanish house located in the heart of this historic, white 'pueblo' town. Superb views! Tastefully furnished and fully equipped to the highest standards. Only 45 mins drive to the coast, Jerez, Gibraltar Airports, 50 mins to Cadiz and 1hr 20 mins to Seville. Soak up the real atmosphere of Andalucia, the birthplace of flamenco and bullfighting. Completely renovated in 2005 and has two terraces with magnificant views. Car parking close to the house.
- Suitability:
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
About Jude and Clive Wiseman
Clive and I moved to Spain in 2005 and bought our first little house in Alcala de los Gazules. Clive had just retired from teaching modern languages (very useful!), and I had worked as a garden designer. We completely 'reformed' Casa Vista but kept the Andalusian character. We subsequently bought and sold another house and then our own house - but Casa Vista was, and is, our favourite house. In fact, if it were a bit bigger, we would definitely live in it ourselves We live on the other side of the village from Casa Vista and spend our time (Clive) writing books and I enjoy painting portraits. We try to play golf each week in nearby Jerez. There are a few other 'Brits' living here and the local people are extremely friendly and helpful. The countryside around is wonderful and there's always somewhere new to explore. There are so many 'fiestas' going on during the year and the Alcalainos love it if we join in with their celebrations.
Jude and Clive Wiseman purchased this house in 2005
Why Jude and Clive Wiseman chose Alcala de los Gazules
Our little house is perfect for couples but can easily accommodate another couple on the sofa bed in the top room. We stayed in the house ourselves to make sure everything needed for a 'home from home' stay was there. Everything is provided (and that includes toilet paper!) so only food shopping is necessary. We always arrange to meet our guests to hand over the keys and are 'on hand' if there is a problem. A welcoming bowl of fruit, milk and water (plus sundry other basics) are provided at the start of the holiday.
What makes this house unique
Alcala de los Gazules is perfectly positioned for visiting the beaches, Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz, Gibraltar, Seville and all the other 'white villages' in the area. It retains it's very Spanish character if you are looking for the 'real Spain' but also has a very special International Music Festival every year in August with instrumentalists from the top London orchestras, and soloists to match. There is always something of interest 'going on' in the town/village and just enough English speakers to help out if necessary! Alcala is perfectly situated for sightseeing with the virtually empty motorway A381 linking Jerez, Seville, Cadiz, Gibraltar, Algeciras and the Costa del Sol .

have you ever wondered if it is possible to Download Full Movies legally? We all rent movies and see it in bold that you can not burn or copy the movies you rent. So you may think the only way to own a copy of a new release that you watched and enjoyed is to purchase the DVD for about $20.
With the advent of the internet, it has become easier and easier for people to download free movie online. Since most people nowadays have broadband connection and fast computers, it becomes feasible to stream or Free Movie Downloads.There are a couple of ways to download free movie online but before I discuss the different ways, it is important to only download copyright free and piracy free online movies.

Time for some decent episodes, finally. If only the animation was better...
The final Toonami before Adult Swim's expansion contains the beginning of some confrontation versus a pair of Akatsuki we were introduced to in Part 1: Kisame and Itachi.
Official Naruto: Shippuden Talkback Thread
Both the OP and ED are available for download in high quality from the Toonami Digital Arsenal.
Last time on Naruto Shippuden:
Spoiler:Chiyo and Team Kakashi head out to find the Akatsuki, and Chiyo tells them about the nine Tailed Beasts in the world, and two of them are sealed in Gaara and Naruto. Meanwhile, Kakashi's summon, Pakkun, notices Guy's approach and informs them of the Akatsuki's lair positioned in the Land of Rivers. Zetzu of the Akatsuki notices them approaching, however, and sounds a warning to the other Akatsuki, who are in the process of sealing Gaara. The Akatsuki leader tells Kisame and Itachi to deal with the incoming Konoha shinobi, instructing them to use "that jutsu" to delay the Konoha shinobi. Kisame and Itachi split up to do so, Kisame facing off against Might Guy's squad . . . and Itachi to face down Kakashi and Naruto . . .
No spoilers: No talk of future arcs, events, etc! All spoiler talk must be taken to the anime forum or through pm! Please have respect for all new viewers or else the Akatsuki will be coming for YOU. Believe it!
Enjoy the episode. Sleep is always for the weak.

Naruto had, which was . . . nothing, basically. Animation will pick up again after episode 54 and then picks up one more time at episode 72, where it settles into a steady rhythm of episodes switching from mediocrity to good to superb right until the most recent episodes, really. Even the worst animated episodes of 72+ are better than what we have now.
Well, for the most part. I am sure there's still some bad apples in there visually, I just don't remember them.

Rate Dr. Lee G. Yardley
Dr. Lee G. Yardley's Ratings
It was a pretty good experience. But I Often Wait til Well AFTER My APPOINTMENT To Be seen.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2363258].votes_count ]]
This has been a horrible experience. I signed up for the $3000+ "plan" that Dr Yardley recommended (4 times a week in the beginning) and I don't even feel better. I am not old. I am not overweight. But Dr Yardley put the hard sell on me saying my problem was significant and that I really needed the care. Then after my initial "correction" he or an associate just checked me without adjusting me. What the heck was I paying for!? I felt like because he was the president of the organization he would be a great practitioner but I was able to find another board certified NUCCA chiropractor closer to my house who charges about half and doesn't make me come in 12 times in a month! Check out the NUCCA website and you'll see there are other options than paying for this guys Mercedes.

I was told that my insurance did not pay enough for them to bill them but that i could do it myself. I was in so much pain I pre-paid the CASH they required of me in order to get a a "discount". I was doing visits 3 times a week and after some time they were not performing the daily images included in what i was paying for, so i asked that i be credited but was told that the charge was part of the discount package. After that day i saw a now to the doctor in my file telling him to "take thermal images on every visit". So after two more visits and us walking by the machines then the doctor turning back around after seeing the note to take the images I was too disgusted to continue therapy there. I requested a refund which took three weeks. I am still upset that they would take advantage of my pain and steal my hard earned money!

The skull/atlas adjustment that Dr Yardley performed on me felt like he was just barely touching my skin. He asked me if that was painful and I said not at all and he said that "in the morning it will feel like a truck ran over you". However I still felt nothing the next morning or the days that followed. A reasonable person would conclude that Dr. Yardley did nothing to adjust my skull to my atlas vertebra yet Dr. Yardley claimed that he made a 5 degree adjustment. Dr. Yardley was very nice to me but when my wife asked him questions Dr Yardley suddenly became arrogant, short and rude to my wife. It was definitely a bizarre seen to witness. I couldn't wait to get out of there.

I was recently offered an HR position with a small mfg a little closer to home. The job duties practically mirror my current duties but the pay is $5,000/yr more.
When I presented my resignation, my boss (president and chief owner) refused to accept it and asked me to give him a day or two to counter-offer on salary--that was yesterday. An embarrassingly low salary was the impetus for my job search. (I had previous asked for and was promised a raise in the first quarter of 2010. This job offer gave me some bargaining power.

Shaun Boothe - Let Me Go
Artist: Shaun Boothe
Producer: Nineteen85
Album: Hip Hop in 3D
Avg Rating: 3.1 ( 14 votes )
For most rappers, flight is something to strive toward, a metaphor for success and the fast life they have long dreamed of achieving. On his latest single, Shaun Boothe turns that trope upside-down – literally. Let Me Go finds the T-dot native (and exclusive freestyle series alum) so faded that, if nothing were tethering him to Earth, he could easily tumble up into the great beyond like a helium balloon. Beatsmith Nineteen85's mellow, melodic instrumental, sampled from Swedish indie singer Lykke Li's Tonight, serves as backdrop for some uniquely bittersweet meditations on the subject of self-medication. While Boothe acknowledges that he's using weed and liquor to momentarily escape from the daily grind, he clearly considers the vacation well-deserved: "They say you're so much smarter sober, but so what? I got my whole life to grow up / And if it takes the edge off, I don't mind being less sharp, sometimes that's the best part." Moderation in everything, especially moderation, right? Fans can keep it locked for the latest on Boothe's Hip Hop in 3D LP, which has yet to receive a solid release date.

George Sturgis Pillsbury, Humphrey School friend and benefactor, died October 13 after a full life. He was 91.
Pillsbury, 91, died peacefully in his home on Lake Minnetonka in Orono, Minnesota, on October 13, 2012, surrounded by those who loved him dearly a hundred yards from where he was born in 1921. The youngest son of John Sargent Pillsbury and Eleanor Lawler Pillsbury, George attended the Blake School, St. Paul's School in Concord, NH, and Yale College (1943) where he rowed and captained the crew. Following his military service as a Marine Lieutenant in the Pacific Theater during World War II, he returned to Minneapolis where he wed Sally Lucille Whitney. To his last day, he said marrying Sally was the smartest thing he ever did. The Pillsburys moved to New York in 1947, where George headed the New York Export Office of the Pillsbury Company, a corporation founded by his grandfather Charles Alfred Pillsbury, in 1872. In 1951, the family moved back to Minnesota, where Pillsbury continued his work with the Pillsbury Company and retired as executive vice president in 1969, serving another 20 years on its board of directors.
Pillsbury served in the Minnesota State Senate from 1971 to 1982. As a senator, he supported family planning, education, and government reform. He was a lifelong moderate Republican, crossing party lines to support Democrats and independents alike. During his time in the legislature, Senator Pillsbury advocated a unicameral state legislature.
Pillsbury and author Lori Sturdevant documented his family's legacy in the book The Pillsburys of Minnesota. He was preceded in death by siblings John S. Pillsbury Jr., Edmund P. Pillsbury, Ella P. Crosby, Charles A. Pillsbury, and Jane P. Resor, and is survived by his wife of 65 years, Sally Whitney Pillsbury, his four children, 10 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
A memorial service is planned for 4 p.m. on November 10 at the Wayzata Community Church. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in his memory to Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota.

Curiosity needs OS upgrade before getting down to science
The Curiosity Rover will upgrade its operating system before getting down to serious science, NASA said today. The Rover's onboard computer has wimpy specs, boasting just: A BAE RAD 750 single-board computer with a 200Mhz Power PC CPU; Two gigabytes of flash memory; 256 megabytes of DRAM; 256 kilobytes of electrically …
Power Processors
I hear Power processors have 100% marketshare on Mars. LOL
Am I the only one that keeps looking for the little green man to peek around the camera?
bootnote: Maybe now that Oracle must "support" itanium it might have a chance to grow out of this world.
So what OS is it using? A custom-designed one built from scratch? A *nix? Surely not Windwoes!
Re: OS
Sending MS-Windows across planetary borders is a violation of the Xlankaxnamach treaty.
Re: OS
If you actually want to know:
VxWorks is a major player in embedded systems. Spirit and Opportunity also used it, Sojourner used it, SpaceX's Dragon uses it. And NASA's done OS upgrades at 250 million km before:
Angry Birds has yet to be ported to it, however.
Re: "Angry Birds has yet to be ported to it, however." Well I did here that the early stuff.........
..........coming via the data link shortly after it landed was a complaint that it had been promised an upgrade to ICS ages ago and still hadn't got it.
Re: OS
uses vxworks
Re: OS
Great little RTOS is VxWorks...
Used it a fair bit in Uni
Re: OS
Angry Birds has yet to be ported to it, however.
Breaking News: A message is being streamed live from Curiosity on Mars to NASA, it reads: Possibility of life found, If you want to know more me How the fuck I get past level 12?
Re: OS
Sojourner didn't use VxWorks, but Pathfinder did. Sojourner was powered by a lowly 2 MHz Intel 80C85 with 512K of RAM and 176K of flash memory - a little underpowered to be running VxWorks. :-)
2 Gig?
"Two gigabytes of flash memory"
Why do they have such a tiny memory? I've got that much on a micro SD card in a dumb phone. How come they couldn't do better on a machine weighing nearly a ton?
Re: 2 Gig?
Probably because it is specially produced radiation-toughened military-spec flash. Not the consumer grade junk foisted on us.
That's not tiny, that's plenty of room to play with /if/ you know how to write the software for it.
Just because modern OS's continue to use as much memory as they can doesn't automatically make it a demand.
Re: @Christoph
They probably asked the same question over Voyagers CPU and RAM capabilities. And they're still running just fine.
But when it comes to Space, reliability is better than capacity.
Re: 2 Gig?
Two reasons, reliability, as stated above, Radiation hardened ICs are a lot more expensive than normal ones, but the biggest one is that with the turn-around on these things, and the massive number of test cycles they will have put it through, its likely to have been designed a decade ago.
Re: 2 Gig?
How much of the ton does the 2GB weigh? How much of the £9bn did it cost?
Re: 2 Gig?
2GB is a lot of space if you do not store smut on it. I bet the SD card on your phone won't tolerate error on multiple writes
Re: 2 Gig?
They need to use memory that is hardened against cosmic rays. Here on Earth we've got a magnetosphere to block them out and it still doesn't much matter if a bit gets flipped here or there on your phone. On spacecraft an SD card would probably get fried by the rads.
Re: 2 Gig?
I suspect it is mainly to do with the fact this was designed so long ago, PLUS the low power requirements of lower power, since this ONLY has an RTG to power it, and if they want to keep using it as the RTG looses power it has to have low requirements...
But for the task, the CPU and memory is fine, I've worked with much less..
Also it uploads its data, it doesn't need to store it locally for long...
For speed when you have a 20-40 minute delay in commands arriving and being actioned, sitting around for a few extra minutes while the rover maps its terrain is not an issue...
Re: 2 Gig?
"Why do they have such a tiny memory?"
Look at who provided the processor, probably on their motherboard.
This is rad hard MilSpect kit produced by BAe systems.
I'd suggest you take the price of your SD card and multiply by x1000
Re: 2 Gig?
There's just a wee bit of radiation to cope with, so they aren't going to use an Advent USB stick from PC World.
Re: @Christoph
Plenty of people doing great things with ATMega chips that have about 64k or so.
Re: @Christoph
From the NASA Voyager site:
"Question: What kind of computers are used on the Voyager spacecraft?
Answer: There are three different computer types on the Voyager spacecraft and there are two of each kind. Total number of words among the six computers is about 32K.
Computer Command System (CCS) - 18-bit word, interrupt type processors (2) with 4096 words each of plated wire, non-volatile memory.
Flight Data System (FDS) - 16-bit word machine (2) with modular memories and 8198 words each
Attitude and Articulation Control System (AACS) - 18-bit word machines (2) with 4096 words each."
Words in this context being I assume 32bits.
Re: @Christoph
> Words in this context being I assume 32bits.
The line you quoted immediately above that says "18-bit word machines" ...
Re: 2 Gig?
It's not difficult. To make components rad-hard you need to thicken the oxide (reduces the risk of punch-through and is more likely to survive the ionisation track of a cosmic ray scatter particle) and increase the surface area (thicker oxide means less capacitance, more area increases it, and you want the highest capacitance in your cell to reduce the chance of a small stray particle flipping a bit. ECC can only go so far.)
IBM have produced a range of industrial-strength PPC processors for a long time with thicker gate oxide etc., and military design just takes this further, along with the more exotic substrates like SoS which are better able to resist distortion and conduct heat.
There were also completely non-cmos processors using a bipolar technology, but the problem with them is that they use a fair bit of power just standing still as current is needed to maintain the logic states rather than voltage.
So "radiation-toughened" isn't really quite correct. Rad-hard components are fundamentally rather different designs produced on different production lines. They cost a lot more to produce, partly because of the low production volumes but partly because a huge amount of inspection and testing is needed.
The "consumer-grade" stuff isn't junk; just designed for a different purpose. If you want JAN-TXV components in your phone, you won't have to worry about lack of network capacity because only bankers will be able to afford them.
Re: 2 Gig?
You seem to forget that there are constraints on the power budget of Curiosity. More flash memory equals less power for experiments, so there has to be a trade off.
Again, it isn't how much memory you have, but how you use it. Very efficient coding techniques get the maximum bang out of your hardware.
Re: 2 Gig?
What they need is *enough*, absolutely no point in having anything you don't need, it's also probably ECC enabled and very robust, besides, my ZX81 could play chess in 1k.
Re: 2 Gig?
is HUGE when you're writing in assembler
Re: 2 Gig?
You only need lots of RAM and ROM space if:
a) you don't know what you're doing
b) you're running Windows operating system.
I wrote real time embedded apps on a microcontroller in C with 128 bytes of RAM, I kid you not. Most RAM I ever had was 1.5KB. ROM space, if I recall, was something like 16K words with each word being 14 bits.
I really cant understand why the damn thing wasn't working fully on the ground I mean who the hell would choose to do a remote upgrade over that distance! A little bit far for a mobile engineer to pop out to reboot the damn thing if it doesn't go according to plan.
...but it may have needed all the memory space for the landing control, which now can be safely be replaced with the software for the next bit of the mission?
Also, at a year since launch, I imagine the programmers have made some improvements to the drivers.
I heard it was to upgrade the distance conversion tables. You know, so that all measurements are done in linguine and double-decker buses.
They have been fiddling with identical hardware back here on Earth since before the launch. They have found better ways of controlling the hardware. Upgrades aren't really a bad thing ... unless you are discussing shovelware, of course ;-)
Look up the concept of "watchdog timer". Trust me, embedded guys grok the concept of bringing physically unreachable systems back from the dead.
Also note that there are a couple of radio systems on board, all of which are under separate CPU[1] control and can *probably* be used to bring the main computer back online remotely, if needs be. Wouldn't surprise me if ordering one of the cameras to look "all the way down, and all the way to the right, snap picture & process the barcode" would cause the camera's CPU to shoot a master boot loader over to the main computer via a non-maskable interrupt. No, I don't know, but wouldn't you do something similar? Belt&suspenders (belt&braces to you Brits) is a good idea at astronomical unit distances ... especially when added weight isn't an issue.
[1] Small values of CPU, of course, but enough.
Fingers crossed they don't brick it! How embarrassing would that be when the aliens arrive? Brand new bit of kit on mars bricked trying to upgrade to cyanogenmod 12!
Then this could truly be, Space, the final frontier. lol
Installing updates...
...please do not power off or unplug your rover.
"I really cant understand"
How many times have you, or indeed anyone, written extremely complex software that was not only totally perfect from the get go, but in fact could not be improved upon in any way at all, being the embodiment of computer science perfection?
Next, how many times have you had to do sysadmin work on a computer that will never be physically accessible by anyone within its operating lifespan? Now, how many times do you suppose NASA have done just that?
I thought this mission was unmanned...
>I really cant understand why the damn thing wasn't working fully on the ground I mean who the hell would >choose to do a remote upgrade over that distance! A little bit far for a mobile engineer to pop out to reboot the >damn thing if it doesn't go according to plan.
Anyone remember Traveller RPG? Computers there were pretty tine anh had a limited number of program slots..
Talk about life imitating art!
Re: @FordPrefect
All true, and some of the computers on the Apollo program, have to be seen to be believed (core rope memory for example - and a switch controlled powersaving mode that would drop power usage from 70w to 5/10w). Not to mention extended mapped interrupts to memory sectors than were then used to reference a batch of further commands/interrupts...
However this does make me wonder, if they have been working with upgrades and the like over time the vehicle was in transit, would it have been too hard to provide an en-route upgrade path?
After all what would have happened if the thing arrived, landed safely and was/is unable to fully process the update.. thats one very expensive brick...
Re: @FordPrefect
If they have to find a barcode to look at to reset the CPU, and they do, the issue of whether the cpu can be rebooted will be moot. They'll be too busy trying to design a nuclear warhead with orbital reach before the Martians get here with the parking ticket.
Every new graduate...
I don't know about you, but every new graduate I've ever encountered starts out believing that is their default position. (That's probably why all those people in the NASA control room didn't look very young).
As weird as it is...
... they often can't get the software work done in time. Any delay means missing a launch window that's often 18 months to 2 years long. So, you leave it for in transit or during surface operations to deploy the final version, which you spent the entire flight time testing to freaking death in simulations and duplicate units.
And then there's the crazy story of Voyager, that, at the time they left, they *didn't know how* they were going to sequence the camera moves and panning of the spacecraft during the Jupiter encounter. All of that research and development happened during the many years it took to get there, with everything going perfectly when the time came.
VxWorks is designed for this kind of thing, but I don't think there's words to describe the ball-pucker that engineers must go through when they send a firmware upgrade to a computer 30 million miles away. I can imagine the rover forlornly sitting on the surface, with a little screen that's black except for the words "press F1 to continue" on it.
Re: Installing updates...
And then the console screen flashes:
Windows for Extraplanetary Spacecraft must now reboot to complete the installation. Please remove all media and click "OK".
That poor thing, just sitting there, all alone with no one there to click on the "OK" button.
Life in eternity.........
Vx Works
VXWorks is regularly used in space craft, and it's so well tested, reliable, it just is not like Windows at all! It's a proper real time pre-emptive multitasking operating system that just bloody well works: Windows can't multitask properly.
There was a spacecraft that did experience one single issue with VxWorks, it was down to a semaphore issue, a way of communicating, controlling execution threads, they uploaded through the millions of miles through space a patch for it, so it's designed to do these upgrades, but rest assured they're extremely rare to do because the entire mindset around VxWorks is very different to Microsoft and the development of Windows operating systems.
Don't even think about comparing the reliability of Windows with VxWorks.
Re: As weird as it is...
What's the worry over doing an update to a rover vehicle on Mars?
Think about it. Use a low bit rate to reduce the error rate. Store the entire update in a staging area on the target platform, CRC check it. If CRC does not match, it's simple, don't install the update!
Ground station on earth sends a message to the rover "Have you received the update error free?" Response message: "No, please resend block 27 of 2052". Block 27 resend commences. "Have you received block 27 correctly now?" Yes. Go ahead and update.
No real problem here at all. Biggest problem with be possible interference from radiation from the sun and cosmic radiation in space.
It's easy enough to test the update process on the ground on planet earth first.
Re: Don't even think about comparing the reliability of Windows with VxWorks.
I never was.
This lousy forum software stripped out the <sarcasm> tags.
Riskiest Moment Not the Landing...
That is when the vendor website fails to validate the software license and refuses to deliver the critical security updates because of the bogus mailing address.
Re: bogus mailing address
I've just checked http://www.newgtldsite.com/new-gtld-list/ and it seems that NASA didn't register .mars. Fortunately, neither did a well-known chocolatier, so it's not too late.
Re: Riskiest Moment Not the Landing...
I now have visions of the guy at the control centre getting a screen message telling him he has failed the genuine advantage test and needs to register his software/buy a license.
Check the specs..
> A BAE RAD 750 single-board computer with a 750Mhz Power PC CPU
Not to nitpick, but the CPU is called the RAD750 because it's based on the PowerPC 750 processor, not because of its clock speed. It operates at a mere 200MHz per BAE's own component specifications.
Even better, BAE's press reports claim that's a full 10-fold increase over its previous generation CPU, the RAD6000, which powers Spirit and Opportunity, Mars Odyssey, and a whole host of other Mars craft and other spacecraft.

One of our favorite tuners continues to make news this year. Callaway has already announced the Corvette Aerowagon project is a go and they were the first to supercharge the Gen 5 eco-tech engine found in the new Silverado. Today, Callaway officially announced they will be offering the Callaway SS, a supercharged 570 horsepower version of the Chevy SS performance sedan.
CNN Money is raving about the new Corvette as an American car that can take down the Porsche. Is the CNN author's perspective accurate? Let's quickly examine the validity of the claims.
Edmunds.com has tested the new 2014 Corvette Stingray against just about every car seemingly imaginable, including the 2014 Porsche Cayman S, 2013 BMW M3, 2014 Nissan GT-R, 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S, and 2013 SRT Viper.
Now along comes the 2014 Ford Shelby GT500.
Before the test, Edmunds wonders aloud if the Corvette can overcome the deficit of 202 horsepower and 166 lb-ft to Ford's supercar. The quick answer is an overwhelming yes.
There's no doubt that the new Gen 5 Small block engines found in the Corvette Stingray and the Chevrolet Silverado are the most technologically advanced engines that Chevrolet has ever built. But concerns about some of the new fuel savers like direct injection, variable valve timing and the active fuel management means that tuners will have the step up their game to unlock the hidden power the LT1 is capable of providing.
Although many tuners are already promoting their packages for LT1 upgrades, only Callaway has demonstrated the ability to actually supercharge an engine in the "Eco-Tec" family by installing an Eaton TVS Supercharger on a 2014 5.3L Silverado.
We were very surprised to learn that the 4th installment of the "Transformers" movie franchise from Director Michael Bay has started filming out in Monument Valley near the borders of Arizona and Utah. Joining the cast of cars to be featured in the movie is the 2014 Corvette Stingray.
Some of us like to collect cars and others like to collect stamps. And if you like both you are probably ecstatic over the United States Postal Service recognizing muscle cars and Mecum's venerated Indy Auction with commemorative stamps. Mecum's annual Spring Indianapolis Auction has been recognized around the world as not only the original muscle car auction but one of the largest. This year will be Dana Mecum's 26th Original Spring Classic and with the emphasis on muscle cars is the perfect place for the U.S. Postal Service to highlight its five new limited edition stamps featuring iconic muscle cars. The stamps will be featured on display and be available for purchase during the Indianapolis auction which runs now through Sunday, May 19th.
With the all-new 2014 Corvette Stingray due on the streets in just a few short months, Chevrolet apparently is targeting some pretty stiff competition.
