Absolute Perfection!
We had an amazing time staying at the cottage. It is so beautifully decorated and includes anything you might need during your stay. The kitchen is well appointed, there are many movies, games and cd's available. The living room is the perfect place to sit with a glass of wine and talk or read. Looking out the unique windows at the beautiful greenery is so peaceful. We will definitely be coming back.

Matt Duchene won't be in the lineup for Canada when they take on Norway for their first game of the 2014 Winter Olympics men's ice hockey tournament. It's been clear since the Canadians announced their final roster that some tough lineup choices would be in store for head coach Mike Babcock, and that's apparent by his first round of scratches.
@mfinewaxhockey @RyanDadoun Canada will scratch Subban and Duchene tonight. Babcock says they will both play on Friday though.
— Antti Mäkinen (@sirmakinen) February 13, 2014
It's a tired refrain, but P.K. Subban and Duchene would be unquestionable must-play guys for any other nation besides Canada—that they'll be watching this game from the stands must be somewhat intimidating for other countries. Anyone can win on any given day, but the Norwegians are badly outmatched in this contest and things could potentially get ugly.
Even a close contest would be an accomplishment for Norway, while a victory over Canada would be the biggest in the nation's hockey history.
It's important to note that Babcock is running through the motions here and getting a grasp on which group of guys he likes the best. While Subban and Duchene will both sit out in this first game, they'll have a chance to get into action for Canada on Friday against Austria.

"A Good Change"
Last year when I was in Singapore I stayed at Mandarin Orchard. This year, I thought I would give Royal Plaza a try and it was a good change! In comparison to Mandarin Orchard, the interior in Royal Plaza is a lot newer and brighter. It has a Nespresso coffee machine which I totally love! It's located on the cross road of Orchard Road and Scotts Road so shopping is just walking distance. Public transportation such as subway is just a 5 minutes walk. I didn't had to worry about food because I can get it anywhere in Orchard Road and at night there's some cafe that operates 24 hours.
The internet in this hotel was a blessing for me. I was able to upload and download files within seconds and it's done. I would definitely return to this hotel again if I'm going to stay around Orchard Road area.
"Great stay would return"
We stayed at the Royal Plaza on Scotts on two occasions and found it to be an excellent hotel. Located close to Orchard road and within walking distance of the main shopping area it had everything we were looking for. The room was comfortable, the service was great and the food was perfect. On our second stay we were upgraded to the Royal Club Lounge at no extra cost and having access to this quiet restful area made our stay even more pleasant. We have stayed in a number of hotels in Singapore but for the price, facilities and locality we rate this as number one.
"Nice but pricey"
The remodeling has made the hotel more attractive and its rooms more comfortable. Took us a while to get used to the bathroom's entrance, which is an inch higher than the room floor. It was nice that the staff checking us in welcomed us as returning guests and walked us to the elevator.
The best thing about this hotel is that our friends visiting us need not pay toll as the hotel is just outside the zone where motorists have to pay toll and they can park free at the hotel parking lot. Also, the hotel is conveniently located right across from Grand Hyatt's Straits Kitchen, our favorite restaurant, and is right on Orchard Road. Royal Plaza is a pricey place but the rate is somewhat off-set by these pluses.
"On top of the world"
We were booked into the Royal Club Lounge on the recommendation of our travel agent. What a fantastic decision. Our concierge was a consummate professional. When asked about shopping, dining etc he had all the info. He made our stay a most pleasant experience. The location is brilliant. Will come again!!
"Excellent Hotel!!!"
Everything was superb the moment we arrived...staff were really friendly...breakfast and lunch buffet is as good as advertised...room and especially the bed is wonderful!!! Location is superb especially being in Scotts Road. Near the mrt station. Free daily replenishment of minibar...How good can it get right!?
"Amazing hotel!"
Great service, friendly and helpful staff, nice room. What more do you need. It was clean, a reasonable size and quiet. The hotel facilities are good and breakfast was spectacular. It is close to Orchard Road for shopping and not too far from the hop on bus we used the first afternoon. We were impressed with the customer service and overall would recommend it. We would definitely stay there again.
I will recommend the Royal Plaza to all my friends and will most certainly book here again when I come back to Singapore. I am very impressed with the room and the facilities and the service and friendliness of all the staff.
"Consistently high quality"
I have stayed here a number of times and never been disappointed. It is very centrally located for shopping, MRT etc. I have stayed at the Grand Hyatt across the road and, in my opinion, the Royal provides a much better all-round experience.
Quality of service is excellent; the rooms are clean and very well equipped and staff very attentive.
Wide selection of foods at breakfast.
"Amazing hotel! Fantastic staff and service."
We had booked a Royal Club room for our stay and arrived at the hotel about seven hours before the official check in time of 2pm. Although we couldn't be given keys to the room so early, the lady who pre-registered us very kindly asked us if we would like breakfast, or a coffee. As we had just arrived from an 8 hour flight, a coffee sounded great. We had walked past what we assumed to be the breakfast restaurant next to entrance to the hotel, however, we were personally escorted to the Royal Club on level 15. There is a separate breakfast room on the top floor for Royal Club guests, which we had not expected. The Royal Club was very spacious and comfortable and with a decent view. The choices for breakfast were numerous - offering numerous options to cover all tastes and any kind of eggs on request, as well as the eggs that were available in the hoppers. The staff in the Royal Club could not do enough to help us from the moment we sat down. Remember, this was before we had even checked in. I was very impressed. This exceptional customer service was consistent for the whole four day stay. One lady in particular, Jophen, made us very welcome every day with a big smile and asked when taking our breakfast drinks order how our previous day had been and took some time to chat. She was very pleasant and very attentive, but most importantly she was personable. If the hotel management read this, I would like to ask them to pass on our thanks to her. The other staff cannot be faulted neither, but Jophen's personable approach made her stand out to us.
It was my birthday during our stay and without there having been any mention of it, we came back on the evening of my birthday to a delicious and beautifully iced cupcake, nicely presented in a little gift box and complete with a 'happy birthday' chocolate, birthday candle, fork and napkin - and even a birthday card! I didn't get the chance to thank the hotel for this lovely gesture, so again, if the management read this, I'd like to say thanks for this very nice touch.
The customer care here is just something else, but not to the point of being too much and over the top. The very respectable and professional approach at all times made for the most pleasant, memorable hotel stay I have had in a very long time.
Next time we are in Singapore, we'll stay here without any doubt.
If recommend the Royal Club rooms too. There is a premium, but it's very reasonable for everything that is then included in the room rate. The rooms are not enormous, but there is plenty room for two people and they are well furnished and well equipped.
"Royal Club in Royal Plaza"
Just came back from a two night stay here. I booked the Royal Club Premier rooms and it was well worth it. In fact I consider it a bargain, because by just adding a bit of money, you get a lot more, i.e breakfast, tea and evening cocktail (which includes mini buffet servings good enough for dinner). The rooms are nice too, comfortable King Sized bed which I can fall asleep within seconds. Items in the mini bar are complimentary, that's almost unheard of in most hotels in Singapore. The location is to die for; directly opposite The Grand Hyatt and just three minutes walk to ION and Wheelock Place. The only complain I have is that my room's view (Room 1502) was facing the wall of the neighbouring building, so there's nothing much to look at.
This hotel is fully HALAL and the food served at Carousel is simply superb. No wonder they won the Best Buffet in Singapore for 5 years in a row.
The staff were also very friendly and will always try to accommodate to all your requests. I changed my bedding preference last minute, and they still managed to find me a good room even though the hotel was almost full. If you are going to book at the Royal Club room, look for Najeeb, he will be on duty in the Royal Club Lounge. A very helpful staff who I see as a good representative for Royal Plaza on Scotts.

"nice clean hotel at the perfect location"
we would come to Singapore every 6mths for my dad's medical check-up. time and again we would stay here. we love that it's situated in town yet not really in the middle of Orchard Rd. best area to stay in to shop. dining options are abundant too. thankful for the free mini bar :)
"A fantastic stay!"
I booked the Royal Club Premiere Room for my partner's birthday celebration. Check in was a breeze. Our room was on the 15th floor. The room size is small as compared to the other hotels that I have been to. Minibar is complimentary and that's a plus point! We went to the Royal Club Lounge for high tea and cocktails. Love their service. Thumbs up. The management gave a complimentary birthday cupcake as well. Ordered room service and the food was really delicious. Breakfast spread at Carousel was awesome too. If you are looking for good service and good food, this is a perfect hotel for you. Had a fantastic stay and can't wait to be back again. Thanks for the great service Royal Plaza on Scotts!
"Fantastic Hotel, Great Location"
A brief stop over before home after a 6 week European trip and wow did we make the right decision. This hotel is absolutely fantastic with staff that know how to deliver quality customer service and cannot stop trying to please you. The hotel is grand with a magnificent palatial entrance foyer, and a fantasticly lovely spacious room with everything including a free complimentary mini bar, free complimentary afternoon tea and breakfast, and free fast internet, and an extremely comfortable king sized bed. Located next to the fantastic shopping precinct of Orchard Road (for the ladies of course!) and within very close distance to the MRT railway which is so efficient and clean. A great hotel with great staff, so I would have no doubt in totally recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to pay a little bit more for a far lot more! Thank you so much for our pleasant stay!
"Overnight stay"
This was my first stay at this hotel. I was pleasantly surprised with the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. I will stay there again if I do my stopover in Singapore. The location cannot be more central around the corner from Orchard Road.
"Satisfying stay and excellent service."
Had a great time at Royal Plaza on Scotts.The room is clean, tidy, well equipped, comfortable beds and free mini bar. The staff possess excellent customer service and it's a pleasure to stay. Excellent and spectacular buffet breakfast and dinner. Very enjoyable stay!
"Comfortable place to stay..."
Royal Plaza is my preferred hotel. The room is clean & comfortable, most importantly smoking free! I like the feather pillow, very soft & comfortable. It's at strategic location, a great place for shopping & dining.
"Nice hotel"
Our first impressions of the hotel were great - we arrived at 10.30am after a long flight from London assuming that we would have to wait a while to check in. However the check in staff informed us that a room was available and allowed us to check in early - great service which continued throughout our stay.
The location is really good. Situated just off Orchard Road it is 2mins walk from a huge number of shops and restaurants. It is about a 5min walk from Orchard MRT station. There is also a cab rank just outside the hotel.
Rooms were nice and included complementary soft drinks and coffee. There is a pool and gym on one of the upper floors - the gym is small but functional.
There are limited food/drink options at the hotel (just it's award winning buffet which we didn't try). But the location meant there were plenty of options for food (we enjoyed Wild Honey just across the road and also used the Starbucks just outside the hotel).
Overall a nice, decent value hotel in a good location for exploring Singapore.
"Singapore after 30yrs"
We hadnt been to singapore for 30yrs, WOW what a difference, it was fantastic and so clean!.
We were lucky enough to get an upgrade to the club lounge which made our time even more enjoyable, the afternoon tea and evening drinks really cut down on what we had to spend elsewhere and the staff were lovely. A good place to stay.
"Another Great Staycation."
Had a one night staycation over the weekend at RP on Scotts. Check-in was prompt and fast. I was being greeted with a polite and warm smile of the customer service officer. To my surprise, I was given a free upgrade from deluxe to the Royal Club Premier. (they really mean it when they say that they will try their best to accommodate on our request in their pre-check in form!)
The room is clean and spacious. The all-time free mini bar is a thumb-up. Very comfortable pillows and king-sized bed. The bathroom consist of a separate shower area and bathtub, with L'occitane toiletries. Everything was flawless but the only major problem was I couldn't get a good night sleep as the opposite room was making alot of noise, I think a group of teenagers were having a celebration from 8pm till 2am. They were laughing n talking along the corridors and fetching friends from the lobby at every hour. I was so closed to call the security but Ive decided to just let it rest.
The breakfast spread was so good, spoilt for choices. The check- out was fast too. Overall, all staff are very friendly from front desk to housekeeper. Can' t wait for my next stay at RP, hopefully I will be able to sleep without any other guest disturbances.

Do MP3 Players Put Teens at Risk of Early Hearing Loss?
One-in-four teens is at risk of developing early hearing loss because of their misuse of iPods and other personal-listening devices, a new study suggests.
Teens today who are listening to their MP3 players at high volumes or for hours on end may find their hearing begin to deteriorate before reaching middle age, study researchers said. "In 10 or 20 years it will be too late to realize that an entire generation of young people is suffering from hearing problems much earlier than expected from natural aging," Chava Muchnik, a professor of communication disorders at Tel Aviv University in Israel, said in a statement.
For the study, Muchnik and her colleagues first gave 289 teenagers a questionnaire about their listening habits. Forty-one percent of the teens said they used their MP3 players daily, with 19 percent using them more than once a day. Forty percent of the teens admitted to listening to their music between 30 and 60 minutes a day and 21 percent said they listened between one and four hours a day.
A majority of the teens (39 percent) believed that they listened to their music at "moderate" levels.
In a room with moderate ambient noise, the researchers then had 74 teens listen to two popular Israeli songs with MP3 players and standard in-ear headsets. The teens were allowed to set the volume level of the MP3 players to their preferred setting, and the researchers measured the actual sound going into the teens' ear canals using a tiny probe microphone. To avoid biases with the volume settings, the researchers gave the participants the questionnaire only after they completed the listening exercise.
Using the participants' range of daily listening duration taken from the questionnaire, the researchers converted the measured sound level to 8-hour-equivalent levels, a noise-exposure standard where 85 decibels is considered hazardous to hearing. The researchers found that more than a quarter of the teen volunteers were at risk for hearing loss when listening to music for 30 minutes or longer.
Muchnik recommends that manufacturers adopt the European standards that limit the output of MP3 players to 100 decibels. And aside from just turning down the volume to spare their hearing, Muchnik said that teens could also choose over-the-ear headphones rather than the in-ear headsets that normally come with MP3 players such as the iPod.

Photograph of Socks the Cat Standing Next to the Gingerbread Replica of the White House: 12/05/1993 by The U.S. National Archives on Flickr.
I love this so much: Pampered Cat Visits Santa in 1995.
A day late on National Cat Day, but this is amazing: some of Socks' cremains are archived at the Clinton Library!
Happy National Cat Day! We're sure that Socks the Cat, seen here behind the desk in the Oval Office, would approve this message.
We asked two archivists at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library if they were Team Buddy or Team Socks, and they both went for the cat.
"Socks was a rock star presidential pet. I feel bad for Buddy since he came in 1997 and was never able to shed the shadow of Socks. Socks was found outside the Governor's Mansion here in Little Rock and made it to the White House," said John Keller.
"Socks was a true example of American shorthair exceptionalism. After all, this smart tuxedo cat went from being a stray on the streets of Little Rock, Arkansas, all the way to the White House! We have some of Socks's ashes here in museum storage at the Clinton Library," said Kim Coryat.

On July 1st, the ACC officially became a 15 team conference. Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame moved from the old Big East to join the ACC. Syracuse and Pittsburgh joined for all sports, while Notre Dame remained independent for football. The new members will have a huge impact on the ACC, but the biggest one is the emergence of the ACC as one of, if not the, top basketball conferences in the country.
All three schools joining the ACC this season made the NCAA basketball tournament last season and look prime to make it again. Along with Louisville coming in another year, these teams make the ACC a basketball powerhouse. Coach K was quoted to say, "We're going to be a 10-bid conference. We're going to be the best conference in the history of the game. It's exciting to be a part of that." This may be an exaggeration, but the ACC will be much improved next season.
Syracuse will likely have the biggest impact on the ACC from a basketball standpoint. They made it to the Final Four last season, and are a constant threat with Jim Boeheim and his patented 2-3 defense. Syracuse is almost always a contender and helps infuse the ACC into New York. Syracuse's inclusion helped open the door to a conference tournament in Madison Square Garden, which will help spread the ACC's influence across all of the east coast. Syracuse will adds a great team to the ACC while also helping spread the popularity of the ACC into the northeast.
Pittsburgh and Notre Dame are both colleges who has been consistently been in the NCAA tournament for the recent years. Unfortunately, they have not experienced the same tournament success as Syracuse. Pittsburgh and Notre Dame may not add another Final Four to the ACC, but they make it a more competitive conference. They will not be as impactful as Syracuse on the ACC, but they both have consistently competitive basketball teams that will increase the overall strength of the conference.
Even after adding three great colleges, the ACC will change again next year. The defending basketball National Champion Louisville Cardinals will replace Maryland, who moves to the Big Ten. Louisville will be another huge addition as another yearly championship contender. The other schools strengthen the conference, but the inclusion of Louisville is a huge addition. They will join Duke, UNC and Syracuse that will be tournament teams on a yearly basis and give the ACC a great chance of bringing home the National Championship. With four teams with the history and current success in basketball of Duke, UNC, Louisville, and Syracuse, the ACC will become a historically great conference.
After Louisville joins the ACC next season, look for the ACC to become the primer conference for college basketball. In a time where conferences have and will continue to change dramatically, the ACC will look to stand as a holding ground for other conferences to model themselves after. This is very good for Duke, as it provides them stability for years to come. Many people have criticized conference realignment, including Coach K, but it has seemed to worked in Duke's favor. Duke and their beloved ACC looks to be safe and flourishing for the near future.

First participants find their roots in the 20s and 30s and trace the tracks of protest and rebellion through music to the present day. There are chances to listen to the songs, study the lyrics and maybe even sing-along to some favourites. Bob Dylan and Joan Baez guaranteed.

Back on August 5, the world of Royals fans celebrated the symbolic freedom from the spectre of Jose Guillen, as the Royals found a taker for the beleagured outfielder slash designated hitter. The San Francisco Giants, in the heat of a three-way race for the NL West, took on the slugger in a post-deadline deal that sent the famous player to be named later to the Royals.
Fans waited weeks with baited breath, speculating on who the lucky player would be. Who would be this young man who would be our payment for the slugging enigma?
Wait no longer, fans. The Royals received right handed pitcher Kevin Pucetas from the Giants to complete the trade.
It's worth noting that often in a PTBNL scenario, the PTBNL ends up being known as "cash considerations", and sometimes, it's a crisp one-dollar bill (as one might find involved to settle a bet between Randolph and Mortimer Duke). So to get anything with a track record for Guillen, whose 16 homers tied for the Royals lead with Yuniesky Betancourt, is a good deal.
Pucetas was a 17th round draft pick in 2006 by the Giants, and in his first professional season, started 15 games, going 7-1 with a 2.17 ERA and a 60/19 K/BB ratio over 70.2 innings in the short season Northwest League. He followed that up with a 15-4 1.86 ERA season in Low A the following season over 27 games (23 starts) and 145.1 innings. In 2008 in High A, Pucetas continued the production, going 10-2 in 24 starts with a 3.02 ERA and struck out 102 batters in 125.1 innings while walking only 27.
The three solid years earned him a jump to Triple A Fresno in 2009 where he maintained decent control, but the strikeout numbers dropped. He also got hit hard and ended up with a 5.04 ERA in 159 innings. In 2010, he regressed, walking more batters and putting up a 5.69 ERA in 26 starts. In his time with Fresno, Pucetas has given up 32 total homers in 295 innings after surrendering only 15 combined in the A levels of minor league baseball.
Pucetas, 6'4″ and 225 lbs., looks like an organizational depth kind of player, one who may make some spot starts after injuries at the major league level. At 26 years old (once November rolls around), he's getting to the age that he either needs to get into the Show or give up the dream.
Still, there's talent here. Pucetas represented the Giants and Team USA in the All Star Futures Game in 2008 and was on the American Olympic team in the same year. He's also been ranked as high as #15 among San Francisco prospects in 2009 in Baseball America's Prospect Handbook. Armed with a fastball around 88 mph, has a strong changeup and apparently, has a chip on his shoulder.
Considering the Royals were close to cutting Guillen altogether, even as early as Spring Training (or at least, many wanted that to be the case), to get anything – even a reasonable minor league arm – is something. So we'll take it. Here's to hoping that Pucetas picks up the command that gave him so much success in the early levels and he can be a contributor to the franchise in 2011 (probably in Omaha's rotation unless a lot of weird pieces fall in very weird ways.)

Uncovering Europe's best budget hotels since 2001.
Home > Travel Blog > Budget Air Travel >
photograph courtesy of planespotter.de/baseman.mathes.co.uk
We continue to be impressed with the meteoric rise of Slovak low-fare airline Sky Europe. Their passenger totals are up 38.1% in January 2007 compared to January 2006. More impressively, their seat load factor is up 10.3% over the same period.
Compare these to Ryanair's equivalent figures: up 23% in passenger totals and down 3% in seat load factor in January 2007 against January 2006 figures.
Consider Sky Europe's commitment to purchase 21 (yes, 21!) Boeing 737-700NG planes and its securing of rights to an additional eleven, and the airline appears to be consolidating its place among the first tier of European low-fare airlines.
We also love Sky Europe because they've nudged Bratislava—one of our favorite cities—up a league or two, and because they've opened up Croatia's stunning Adriatic coast to budget travelers, with flights to Dubrovnik, Zadar, and Split on offer.

With a name that means "where the paths cross," it's no surprise that Calleva is dedicated to bringing people of all ages and from all walks of life together to appreciate the outdoors. The certified MAEOE environmental center helps its guests dive into the heart of the wilderness right outside D.C. and raise awareness about its delicate ecosystems. In doing so, it encourages others to cooperate and take risks while stepping out of their comfort zones, like baby birds leaving the nest to start their own nest-building business.
To facilitate these efforts, a team of ACA-certified guides helms seasonal outdoor-adventure and educational programs. In warm weather, activities might include kayaking and canoeing down winding stretches of the Potomac River or paddling to a private island filled with ropes-challenge courses and other obstacles. Fishing and ecological-study programs present even more varied ways to explore the water. Other adventures include the year-round, such as backpacking; the cold weather, such as caving; and the whimsical, such as the annual haunted forest where ghosts and ghouls mingle under a zip-line course.
Departing from Southwest Waterfront, a boat skipper begins another journey down the calm, flat waters of the Potomac River. The multi-decked boats, such as the Patriot II catamaran, power DC Harbor Cruises's daily tours of the capital's famous waterway. The tour crafts are furnished with bars, snacks, full audio systems, and plush seating for sightseers to enjoy as they drift along the Potomac's smooth waters and collect eyefuls of national treasures. Guests can admire the imposing Capitol Building and whisper about how silly the Washington Monument looks without its powdered wig. The Coast Guard–certified staff points out other notable visuals such as the National Cathedral's stately towers, the Pentagon, and Fort McNair.
Although locals may still call it Jack's Boathouse, Key Bridge Boathouse is now the official name of this river recreation facility, which rents all manner of water-bound equipment by the hour or day. Located right on the Potomac River, this little hut on Water Street in Lower Georgetown can't be missed, thanks to the bevy of colorful and easy-to-spot watercrafts lined up outside. Key Bridge Boathouse rents canoes, kayaks and standup paddleboards as well as the needed accoutrements to outfit adults and kiddos alike. Instructors in each discipline also regularly lead newbie classes and serve as guides for tours that run during the summer months.
Recently celebrating 20 years of delighting passengers, the maritime crew at Capitol City Tours supplies a memorable yet speedy method of taking in Washington, DC's historical highlights. The crew whisks new passengers away from Washington Harbor every hour on afternoon boat tours that navigate the famous Potomac River. Two tour vessels, the Nightingale and his son, Nightingale II, house refreshments as guides supply historically astute narration. Their narration, combined with the unobstructed views granted by the Potomac, create an illuminating way to explore sites such as the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and US Capitol.
Capital Yacht Charters' fleet of luxury yachts cruises DC's waterways for corporate parties, sightseeing tours, and special events. Cruises such as Salsa Night or Rhythmic Jazz Series leisurely motor along the Potomac River, affording guests the chance to ogle the capital's most famous sights. Each of their luxury yachts is climate-controlled, has restrooms, and also comes equipped with a full bar with snacks for munching.

Markus James' West African happiness surplus
San Francisco Bay Guardian
In an age of endless crossover between most conceivable forms of music, it's but small surprise that a Caucasian man from Virginia is making blues with West African witch doctors. What rarely gets discussed in these cross-ocean collaborations is the social aspect of the fusion. What did the artists eat for lunch the day they recorded that track? In what language was the "and-a-one" that started off the first take? (more…)

Surfer Takes On The Wave That Almost Killed Him 24 minutes ago
Aussies know no fear. Crazy people.
Every person is different. While most people may go with the flow and follow certain standards for living, others ignore these rules. These moments when people go against the flow become great Break People and Lifestyle videos. Whether its an insane bus patron or a police officer chasing down a criminal, these videos cover the entire spectrum of daily life. It's a daily life refined and edited down to the most exciting 30 seconds of the year.
Aussies know no fear. Crazy people.
That cop better hope no one sees this video.
The speed at which his hands are moving is insane.
Do twice the Floridas mean twice the meth fueled weird news stories? Sweet!
Hey, maybe don't slap a guy with pizza next time.
Oh you crazy kids and your X-games.
Suddenly Bill Clinton appears with a cigar and a smile.
That's a pretty crazy idea for a lock and key.
Red Rug! REDRUG!
As long as its pitch black, this is pretty cool.
An Al Sharpton video?
Turns out these undies are barely magical at all.
Some questions are best left unasked.
If you guessed "because he's an idiot," you're only half right.
No word on if he turned water into margaritas.
This man thought a bottle would do the trick.
That was some decent trial and error.
Hurray for scars!
That's pretty bizarre and cool.
He was just holding it for a friend, of course.
Maybe put a jacket on next time.
Every fail has a silver lining.
Fun fact: Norway has almost the lowest recidivism rate in the world
That was poetry.
Every animal on the mountain went blind that night.
He cut off his wang,now he's out for laughs.
This guy is an example of all that is right in the world.
Was that a sucker punch or just deserts?
You really don't want to be there for the talent competition.

E-mails in last night from Robert responding to my query around the recording of Requiem from the Beat album. An e-mail too from Pat Mastelotto who has received one of the new DiN albums featuring Ian Boddy and Chris Carter (ex Throbbing Gristle).
"Sid & Ian,
got DIN 5
very good
like it lots
played it 4 times yesterday
don't know the tunes but I do love the vibe & sounds
some of it sounds like work I did 3 years ago for Robert that got shelved.
thanks, I'll keep wiggin' it.
Ian McDonald rang last night and has agreed to participate in the book. We were able to agree the main areas which I want to follow up for the book and set up a time for the first interview next week.
Listening to ConstruKction Of Light last night. It was chugging away in the background as I worked when FraKctured arrived. By this, I mean I stopped what I was doing and really heard the music – perhaps for the first time. Previous hearings had failed to ignite the Smith ears in the way that I would have expected. When it played I heard too many references to old Crimson tunes.
Yet last night, something changed in me and the music simply flooded in. Quite extraordinary. It's very hard to explain it in words but it all fell into place and didn't sound at all as retro as it first did. Strange though, as I try to articulate what I'm feeling, the sense of it runs away from me.

Planet-hunting astronomers started out in the 90's by searching for alien worlds around Sun-like stars. It made sense: the only planets we knew of at the time orbited the actual Sun, so why not look in a familiar kind of place? More recently, attention has moved to the much smaller and dimmer stars known as red dwarfs, or M-dwarfs: not only are they far more numerous than Sun-like G stars, but they're less bright too. Any Earth-like planet in orbit around them would be less likely to be washed out in their glare and thus more likely to be spotted.
But now an even smaller and stranger class of stars has been floated as perhaps the best place to search, not only for mirror Earths, but for the existence of life itself.

The Miami Heat: Team names should never be singular. Because then how do you refer to a single member of the team, a Heat, a Hot? That would be ridiculous, you have to say "a Heat player" or "a member of the Heat". That is waaaaay too many words for me. I could be using the time it takes to say "player" to say "poop" at least twice. My suggestion: The Miami Flamers, it still keeps the same heat theme and also appeals to Miami's thriving gay population.
The Los Angeles Lakers: I'm no geography doctor, but I don't think that Los Angeles is known for it's abundance of lakes. I know they used to be the Minneapolis Lakers (which makes more sense), but it's been 47 years, Lakers. Get with the times. The Houston Oilers change their name to the Titans when they moved to Tennessee, because Tennessee isn't known for its oil, and the Cleveland Browns changed their name to the Ravens when they moved to Baltimore, because Baltimore isn't known for being a giant pile of shit. With this attitude, if LA ever gets a football franchise, we'll be watching the Los Angeles Texans. My suggestion: The LA Implants, much more fitting to what the city holds near and dear to its heart (pun intended).
The Utah Jazz: Whoa! Two crimes in one name. Not only is it singular, but I don't think that Salt Lake City is known for its thriving jazz scene (New Orleans, where they moved from in 1979, is). Mormons aren't even allowed to play music, are they? My suggestion: get the fuck out of Utah!
The Buffalo Bills: This is the one that bothers me most. What is a Bill? Well it's a person named Bill. Buffalo Bill to be exact. According to Wikipedia, the Buffalo Bills are named after "Buffalo" Bill Cody, not Buffalo Bill, the serial killer from Silence of the Lambs (although the latter would instill more fear in opponents). And he wasn't even from Buffalo (he was from Iowa). This also bothers me because you can't have a nickname that is an actual name? Is it a bunch of guys named Bill? No, their mascot is a Buffalo! Your mascot can't be the name of your city! You're confusing everyone! My Suggestion: The Buffalo Bison.
The New York Knicks: "Knicks" is short for knickerbockers. What the FUCK is a knickerbocker?! My suggestion: The New York Nick.

UCOP passes the buck over Lick Observatory
October 10, 2014
Saving Lick Observatory for the next generation
September 23, 2014
UC does not plan to shut down Lick Observatory
September 9, 2014
Student research comes first UNIVERSITY ISSUES: By investing in outside facilities instead of funding Lick, the UC is depriving students from research opportunities.
September 5, 2014
Facing A Waning Future
September 2, 2014
Citing budget stringency, the University of California Office of the President (UCOP) has announced its intention to terminate funding for Lick in 2018. Lick operations currently cost $1.5 million per year. Unless these funds are replaced, the telescopes will close. Also closing will be the public programs, including access to the 36-inch refractor and the Main Building.
UCOP has allocated three years to find alternative sources of funds. It is conducting a Lick Transition Study to identify alternative funds and to estimate the costs of closing Lick outright and returning the site to pristine condition. UCOP seeks partners who are interested in assuming a share of Lick operations going forward.
Lick needs help and support to find continuing operating resources. A newly appointed Lick Observatory Council, comprised of dedicated senior scientists and private citizens, has pledged their help. The emerging vision for Lick's future is unique and compelling. It would marry the unique features of the existing, forefront observatory to an enlarged and invigorated major science education center, permitting the partnership to reap the fruits of research and use them to create exciting venues for research, outreach, and inspiration. With its breathtaking site, historic ambiance, world-class equipment and astronomers, and proximity to millions in the Bay Area, such a center could become THE magnet for physical science education in northern California.
All options are on the table. Approaches include federal and state grants for science and education, partnerships with industry and other universities, state and federal park funds, commercial ventures, private foundations, and private individuals. We need your help and suggestions! Go to Help Save Lick to learn more.

While the camshaft controls the attitude of the engine, controlling that cam can be a problem. "The blocks are almost 9.6 inches tall from the factory, and I think the worst thing about them is probably that the timing chain length is quite a bit longer [than other small-blocks]. So the LA series engines beat the hell out of the timing chain pretty quick." Robinson preempted that issue, buying a geardrive to run the cam. In true hot rodder fashion, he found the best deal for one on the web. "It was like $99 off eBay. Of course, I questioned its quality but I have a hardness tester here [Naturally. What? You don't have that?] so I tested all of the components, and the gears were like high 50s Rockwell C-scale. Extremely hard, and the bearings looked like good quality. Yeah, there were some fitment issues, but other than that it worked great." Score one point for the Internet! "The lower gear was one of those eight- or nine-tooth gears to adjust timing, but there wasn't a 2- or a 4-degree spread. One would be 2 degrees and the other would be five and a half. So it took a little head scratching and careful marking to make it work." Internet point now removed!
Once he had the geardrive sorted out, Robinson set the intake centerline to 101.5 degrees. Combined with a tight 104 lobe separation, the valves tricked the engine into thinking it has more compression than it really did. Here's how.
As the engine rotates over after firing and the piston is being pushed down from the rapidly expanding flame front, the exhaust valve starts to open up a bit before the piston reaches bottom dead center, or BDC. That period of time is referred to as the blowdown period and fiddling with the exhaust opening point is a balancing act between extracting the maximum benefit of the still-expanding flame and making sure the valve will be open wide and long enough to get all that exhaust out. Of course as the piston passes BDC it can help shove that exhaust out. When the piston starts to approach top dead center (TDC), again is when things start getting tricky. The exhaust valve is on its way to closing and now the intake valve gets a head start by opening up. When both valves are open at the same time it is called overlap, and it's the second balancing act that the camshaft has to control.
If this overlap period is short (wide lobe separation), that means the intake valve is opening late and so, especially at low rpm, the exhaust tends to keep going out the tailpipe and not back up the intake valve—good for emissions and a smoother running engine. Nevertheless, by opening up the intake valve early and closing the exhaust valve later, the inertia of the exhaust going out the header can actually pull some intake charge into the engine and increase its efficiency at higher rpm, but it could also contaminate the intake with reversion at low rpm. Definitely a balancing act.
The final piece in the bumpstick puzzle is determining when to close the intake valve. The piston has now gone past TDC, all the way down the cylinder and is now moving past BDC. Since the piston can't compress the air it just gulped until the valve is closed, it would make sense to shut it right at BDC to get the maximum compression. But wait, there's more! Since the air and fuel coming in have mass and inertia, they are still pouring in even when the piston is back on its way up again. So, that last trick is to find the exact point to close the valve that is a perfect balance between the last few tidbits of air and fuel coming in versus shutting it and compressing what you got. That mother-of-all balancing acts is what top engine builders like the guys at SKMFX deal with in every engine they build.
