I look quite a bit like Sanji from One Piece:
From the link in the first message, it says I look like Saki Komorie from a game or something....Huh..
I found out I look like Yamanaka Ino from Naruto.
We do look pretty similar, except my hair is a dark blond and I wear glasses :XD2:
I look a lot like Misaki Ayuzawa from Kaichou wa Maid-Sama if my eyes were lighter and more orange and I was taller ^.^ She's my favouritist anime character ever, so I'm so happy I'm just like her in looks and personality~!
I'm told that I look like a female version of Deidara from Naruto. I have long-ish blonde hair, long bangs that hang over one eye, and blue eyes. I'm also 5'5", which is the same height as Deidara. Oh, and I'm the ceramics master of my art class. xD
I look like Yuki Cross from Vampire Knight. I could easily cosplay as her, now that I think about it:sweatlol:... Except I have blue eyes.
Personality wise I'd say a mix of Hinagiku Katsura(Hayate The Combat Butler), Kyoko Otonashi(Maison Ikkoku), Sharon Rainsworth(Pandora Hearts), Alice(Pandora Hearts), Caudia(Crimson Shell), Nagi Sanzenin(Hayate The Combat Butler), Yusei(Yu-Gi-Oh! 5d's), and L(Death Note). If I had to choose two character I'm most like, though, it'd be Claudia from Crimson Shell. Oh, and also Tsuzuki from Decendants of Darkness.
But my sisters say I sound like Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket..... Why...? And sometimes Haruhi Fujioka from Ouran High School Host Club.
I'd never thought about it until now, but I guess I look most like Hungary from Hetalia. Being a fan of yaoi shippings, I guess that's... oddly appropriate.
Personality-wise, I'd say I have Romano's (Hetalia) temper and attitude, Britain's (Hetalia) sarcasm and wit, Mihoshi's (Tenchi Muyo!) ditziness and clumsiness, and Lelouch's (Code Geass) ability to laugh really weird and creepy.
I can't say I look like Roark without his helmet
I look pretty similar to her, except my bangs are shaped a bit differently, not to mention I don't have ears+tail;)
(I like to think I look sooorta like SeeU)
I guess I look most like Paula from Black Butler. Except I have blue eyes. Attachment 60844
For personality, Elliot Nightray (Pandora Hearts), Yomi Mizuhara (Azumanga Daioh), Seimei Aoyagi (Loveless), Russia (Hetalia), Hisoka Kurosaki(Descendants of Darkness), and Kyo Sohma (Fruits Basket).
I look and act pretty much just like Conway from Pokemon. I have longer hair now because I'm too lazy to cut it, but the resemblance is striking.
(I do this to my glasses all the time XD)
I look like Takako Kimura from Kannagi, except with red hair and green eyes. I haven't found an exact replica of me in any anime, but she comes close whenever I wear a hairband (though I wear braids very rarely XD):
hmmm... i would resemble italy from hetalia since he's so hyper
I look a little bit like Fuuko Ibuki
But personailty wise I'm a like Tomoya from Clannad in my group of friends but sometimes....
I'm really similar to Japan and American from Hetaila :scared:
And I'm a girl too :sweatlol:
When my hair reaches a certain length and its straight and combed, i look a little like Haruhi from Ouran Host Club with darker hair.
I guess i could also pass as the Male player character from Black and White.

by William J. Peasley
ISBN 978-0-85905-590-1, (2015, New), A4, 100pp, well illustrated, indexed, 300 grams.
Bill Peasley and his associates travelled to the Great Sandy Desert in 1976. They brought into civilisation the last of the 'wild' aboriginals who had, because of tribal laws, chosen to live a free life in the desert. This is the story of the expedition, the family, and earlier travels in that area.
Gold and Ghosts volumes. We have been inundated, harassed, and aggravated by enquiries for these out of print books. Please do not contact Hesperian as we are no longer the publishers, all rights having been reasserted by the author long ago.
All Hesperian Press books are prepared, printed and published in Perth.
Many years ago, due to the stranglehold that certain local companies had on the industry, we printed in Singapore, but those days are long past.
We do not subscribe to printing in mainland China, a degenerate habit of several of our "reptile contemporaries," as the old goldfield's papers termed other "rags".
It appears that the more taxpayer funds that are received by these PC groups, the quicker they send the dollars offshore. The use of overseas slave labour does not appear to result in the lowering of local prices, or to substantially increase the viability of said groups. CCP cannibalistic murder for thought crimes, where the prisoner's organs are sold to local and foreign scum for transplants, makes accessories after the fact all who trade with China, in some of the worst mass murders of this century.
Just because we are anti-China does not mean we support the USSA-UK, which are actually far worse, not the least because they should know better. If you do not understand by now who the real enemy is (vide Pogo) then it is time you did the world a favour. There is little doubt that the Earth has never seen a greater degeneracy than that exhibited by the USA-UK 1% and their satanic incubus. It has been hard work to descend to that level, and it's a 'one way' street.
Localisation, not globalisation.
We believe that one must support the nation that breeds you and feeds you, both physically and spiritually. Exporting our jobs is like exporting our raw minerals, it only benefits a comprador class of parasites.

There Is Nothing Wrong with Black Studentsby Unknown
Trade Paper
African American Images
Refuting common ideas about the racial achievement gap, this exploration of the education system posits that the gap is not the result of the students, their parents, or the larger community, but rather stems from the limited effectiveness of the schools they attend. With a focus on what principals and teachers can do, this instructive resource explores ways that schools can change in order to better serve the needs of these students, such as gaining a better understanding of different learning styles, implementing a curriculum that is more relevant to students' lives, focusing on the amount of time each task takes each student, and experimenting with single-gender classrooms. This book also looks at examples of the success of black students in schools that have taken the time to apply some of these policies, demonstrating that any student can thrive when benefited with a passionate and comprehensive education.

The federal government of Australia will launch this November the National Digital Economy Strategy which aims to double the number of Australians who telework to 12 per cent by 2020. The roll out is part of the country's observance of Telework Week from Nov 12 to 16.
The strategy seeks to reverse the decreasing number of Aussie telecommuters, currently at 6 per cent of the country's workforce, according to a 10-year survey made by Melbourne University.
The highest proportion of work-at-home arrangements are in the IT industry. The Hudson ICT 2012-13 Industry Leaders Series report said 52 per cent of IT professionals and managers in Australia and New Zealand said their organisations provided flexible working arrangements from some workers.
Other western nations such as the U.S., Canada and Britain have higher percentages of people working from home. Robyn Clough, public policy manager of the Australian Institute of Management, explained the lower percentage in Australian to the country being slow to adapt to this new corporate environment despite the obvious benefits to the growing practice.
The benefits include higher productivity, cost savings and lesser gridlock as less people drive their vehicles to the office. On the average, Australians spend 43 minutes to reach their offices daily.
She blamed the block at the management level for the less acceptability of telecommuting in Australia. Cathering Raffaele, a senior research analyst at the Workplace Research Centre of Sydney University, explained the distrust of work-from-home arrangements to suspicions or perceptions that not much work is done with telecommuting.
"There is plenty of research to suggest that people working from home are more productive. Also, they feel more in control . . . so they have higher satisfaction levels and are more engaged," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Ms Raffaele.
Her contention is supported by a 2010 study made by global tech firm Cisco that 69 per cent of people who work remotely were more productive, while another research by U.S. telecom giant Bell Atlantic estimated 25 hours of telecommuting was equivalent of 40 hours of office work.
To support the launch, Adobe will also roll out is Work Anyplace@Adobe programme to help and encourage more working flexibility for employees through the use of collaboration tools made by the tech firm such as the Adobe Connect videoconferencing. Because of the seamless communication and connectivity, the U.S.-based Adobe was able to hire some new staff in Australia who would telecommute, disclosed Adobe Managing Director Paul Robson.
Less than 50 per cent of IBM Australia employees work in a classic office environment, while up to 5 per cent work from home on an almost full-time basis, The Australian reported.

Canadian rivers: rain still required
Once again this summer, the Miramichi has had to close its holding pools because of low flow and warming waters. The situation on that river remains 'no change' in terms of the closure, but hopes are high for some equinoxial weather action soon to bring in the late runs on this, and neighbouring rivers in New Brunswick, and other world-famous salmon rivers such as the Bonaventure and Grand Cascapedia. Meanwhile, here is a run down of the latest from Canada courtesy of the ASF (Atlantic Salmon Federation). ... Full story

A reader asked me to share some about my nutrition. Here we go -
I don't consume at all:
*Recreational drugs
*Tobacco in any form
I think cutting bad stuff out goes a long way towards doing things correctly.
I quit drinking in 2006... basically, I reckon the downsides from liquor aren't worth the upsides. Now about this, I get asked sometimes, "Is it awkward to go to a bar?" For the first six months it was. Now, it's not. I get a club soda and have no problems.
Likewise, I quit pretty much all recreational drugs at the same time in '06, depending on how you define it. I've gone back and forth with caffeine over the years - originally I quit caffeine in '06, but I saw some good research on metabolic advantages from caffeine. I do take vitamin C, vitamin D, calcium, and fish oil. Beyond that, I'll take anti-inflammatories like acetametaphin or ibuproifen (the active ingrediants in Tylenol and Advil) if I've got inflammation from training or I'm ill. I'd be open at some point to trying nootrophics under the guidance of a physician, but I've been picking up low hanging health fruit first. Human Growth Hormone also looks promising, and I'd consider synthetic testosterone if I needed it to keep my testosterone levels up later. But all these are for health/longevity purposes, not for pleasure, with the possible exception of caffeine. I go back and forth on caffeine, maybe I'll quit it someday. For now, it's not an issue for me.
I used to love tobacco. I'd roll my own cigarettes, smoke pipe tobacco, cigars, and sheesha... I loved tobacco. I gradually quit - first I quit cigarettes (incuding rolling my own) in 2006. I still smoked cigars, because I did it infrequently and really liked cigars. I quit cigars in '08 I think, at which point I still smoked sheesha, the Arabic water-pipe style tobacco that's much cleaner and much lower tar. Still, that was only offering pleasure at the expense of toxicity, and I finally quit all tobacco in 2009.
In 2009, I quit eating all mammals. I'd quit pork a few years earlier, now I cut beef, venison, and other mammals out of my diet. My reasoning here is that I'd be better served always choosing chicken, other poultry, or fish over mammals. It's not for ethical reasons; rather, I think shifting from beef to chicken every single time that's a good decision.
To this, people sometimes say, "Oh no, I couldn't live without steak!" That's fair. I used to love steak. It's delicious. But honestly, I think I'm getting 90%+ of the pleasure most people are from their meals. There's many ways to prepare chicken or fish. I eat pretty well and I'm not deprived. For dinner tonight, I had chicken in a slightly spicy red curry sauce, hard boiled eggs, rice, two kinds of vegetables, and a little tofu on rice at an Arabic restaurant. Delicious. Honestly, just as good as any steak.
It took me two years to quit sweets - I did it recently. Now I consume no "pure sweets" - right now, I'm not fanatic about if there's a little sugar in a curry sauce or otherwise decent bread, but someday I'll look to cut all sugar out. It's too tricky to do while traveling, but I don't have any desserts or sugary stuff. I still eat fruit, and occasionally somewhat fresh fruit juice. I've got mixed feelings on the fruit juice, but I think the micronutrients from fruit are worth it.
My ideal diet is:
*Plain oatmeal for breakfast with tea or coffee
*Chicken and rice or tuna and rice with vegetables for lunch
*A light dinner with maybe some soup and fruit.
I don't eat my ideal diet often, sadly. My diet is much more heavy than I want it to be... lots of bread. Also, I'm pretty good at staying away from junk food, but I still indulge in chicken sandwich/fries sometimes.
I try to avoid liquid calories, unless I'm ill or nursing an injury. Even then, the only liquid calories I drink is somewhat fresh fruit juice.
I'm not fanatic about sugar in a curry sauce or baked into otherwise unsweet-bread... it happens. I try to avoid it, but I don't make a huge deal of it.
Future improvements:
Eventually I'll cut out almost all sugar, and probably most flour. I increased the amount I eat vegetables a lot over the last two years, but I'd like to do it even more. I might cut out all junk food entirely - I don't eat much junk, but sometimes. I'm not sure how good or bad it is to occasionally fried chicken, french fries, pizza. Certainly, that stuff isn't good for you, though there might be advantages to having some outlets... I don't know. I'll think about it more, I'm still refining my diet.
Recommendations for you:
I recommend you don't take anyone's specific opinion as gospel. The biggest thing is to find out what your body responds to. If you want to know how you react to specific foods, then get on a consistent, simple diet for a while, and then try to add or subtract things and see how your energy goes. You can do this casually, or you can try to put specific ratings to it throughout the day.
It sounds like it'd take some work, but it doesn't, really. I did this a few different times, and my largest surprising finding is that dairy really sinks my energy level a while later. I don't think that's true for everyone, but I pretty much try to avoid all milk and most other dariy.
Finally, I'm a big believer in "hard quitting" things - deciding never to have them again. This depends on your personality type, but for me, it's much easier to not drink at all than to drink in moderation. Much easier to never smoke than to smoke occasionally.
Particularly with things that are slightly inferior choices - like eating beef instead of chicken or fish - it's actually a great convenience to not even consider beef. "Hey Sebastian, you want a burger?" Reply: "Nope, thanks." I don't even have to think about it.
That's worth a lot, it saves me lots of thought cycles. That said, I know lots of people that consume stuff in moderation, so it depends on your goals and personality type. For me, hard quitting things and never having them again makes my decisionmaking really easy and helps me improve my health.
Final piece of advice - if you do refine your diet, two things to avoid are being preachy about it or being shy about it. It takes a while to learn, but don't apologize for your dietary choices or get sheepish. At the same time, don't preach or say that you've quit defiantly. Just be cool about it, politely turn down offers, and usually don't explain why if you're not asked unless it's relevant.
Your experiences with nutrition in the comments?
Excellent advice here, including the last bit. Considering dropping alcohol as well. Dropped my beloved tobacco 2 years ago and its been great, but my experiments with not drinking for a few months have delivered mixed results. I've been testing another plan for the last 3 weeks: drinking the ideal number of drinks. I've set a rule that I can (and should) have 2 drinks of good wine every evening. It's been working out exceptionally well so far... we'll see.
Yes I've been on similar journey - I've been a pescetarian for 9 years and It works great for me. I've been exploring a carb less diet but being french I'm dealing with a lot of old tradition :)
My experience is try something and see how it makes you feel, when I went and tried a carb less diet combined with crossfit training, I started having better workouts but I also started craving meat something that never happened before.
The key is to try and be open and don't judge people for there choices!
I eat pretty well and take pretty good care of myself. But it's taken quite a while to get here - before 2006, I had a pretty standard American diet. Lots of pizza, junk food, fast food, liquor, soda, sweets, etc. I smoked cigarettes, cigars, sheesha, and other kinds of tobacco.
Since then I've refined my diet and I eat pretty well. I have more energy, feel better, look better, and God willing, I'll live a lot longer as a result. It's a gradual process though, and I'm still improving. There's a few things I use to do it:
First, I'm all about incremental improvement - I think trying to crash change your diet is unlikely to work unless you have immense amounts of willpower and self-discipline. If you do have these Herculean amounts of will and discipline, you know who you are and don't need my advice. If you're more mortal, then you'll want to pick one or two things to be refining in your diet at a time.
Second, there's two ways I quit food or habits I don't like - "hard quitting" (cold turkey) and "soft quitting" (gradually reduce my consumption and eventually eliminate it). I pick which of these routes to go based on how convenient it is to quit something outright and if there's any detox process. If there's detox (like there was with nicotine), I think it's better to just get it over with once instead of constantly feeling deprived as your body re-adjusts to its new biochemical levels. The most successful method for quitting smoking is cold turkey, isn't it? Something like 80% of successful attempts to quit smoking are cold turkey? I don't have the statistics onhand, but that's the general idea. Quitting something like sugar, bad oils, or excess salt might be easier to do incrementally, since you need to replace the consumption with something else.
Which brings us to third point - I actively introduce new good behaviors before and during the time I quit something. Now, I don't know if the following is a good strategy, but it's what I did - when I started cutting down the sweets I ate, I increased my consumption of the kinds of salty foods I already ate: Chips, french fries, nuts, etc. Later I cut the salt content back. I don't know if that's a good habit, but it's worked okay for me. I also try to actively introduce fruits and vegetables before I quit something - it's hard to go from no fiber food that's highly processed to stimulate you immediately to fruits and vegetables. Fruit tastes bland compared to ice cream. So I introduce fruits and vegetables first, get comfortable with them, then increase my consumption of them as I decrease or eliminate bad consumption.
So far I'm succeeding in not eating any cooked carbs and thus avoiding the major pitfalls of the cooked diet: addiction, mucus, and body odor.
Let's talk about addiction. Perhaps it's the wrong word. Perhaps the right thing to say is that cooked food excited me. Cooked food is an adventure. Cooked food is a buffet of drugs. There are so many options! (not really) But it is exciting! The idea of spices and oily carbs with salt is an evolutionary dream :P and on a daily basis I'd have the option to pick between whichever food I want be it tasty refried bean tacos which I'd make from these great new tortillas, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, refried beans, and mixing salsa with avocado. Yum. For real yum and easy to get plenty of calories in which I love. It's always a plus to be able to knock out 2000 calories in one sitting in my book.
See that's a big difference between myself and another health food bloggers is that I am pro-nutrition. I am pro-getting-more-nutrition-in-you. Why?
Because if they're the right foods, more calories should mean more fuel which means more energy to do more. I ran a marathon on this principle. Simply increased my fuel, allowed myself to eat as I wished, allowed myself to sleep as I pleased, and found myself running long distance with ease. It is there where choice of food matters greatly, because pizza does not inspire movement. Potatoes do not inspire movement. Eggs, fish, bread, cheese, beef... do not inspire movement.
Fruit inspires movement. Foods that digest well inspire movement. Vegetables like celery have a deeply nourishing healing feeling upon their consumption and recharge the body with electrolytes. Being HYDRATED inspires movement. Being dehydrated does not.

Winehouse Zune promotion leads to backpedaling.
Many a search marketer wouldn't blush at the thought of buying keywords/site traffic to capitalize on searches related to human tragedy. So is Microsoft's newest Twitter gaffe simply a sign that brands take a similar approach to tweet marketing?
At roughly 6:30 a.m. EDT, the company's UK PR @tweetbox360 account authored and posted the following message after evidently garnering in-house approval through the proper channels: "Remember Amy Winehouse by downloading the ground-breaking 'Back to Black' over at Zune: http://t.co/rWQb0CK?culture=en-gb".
Winehouse died on Saturday after a public battle with drug addiction. In the last two days, sales for the singer's "Back to Black" album have reportedly skyrocketed by 37 times.
Following the album-push download tweet this morning Microsoft offered the following messages:
Want to win codes for the Summer of Arcade titles? Bastion codes up for grabs at the moment, by playing here
RT @MicrosoftEMEA Summer's here! Make the most of it with cool Xbox Extras, Windows 7 PCs and Games for Windows Phone http://t.co/xQkEozt
But then the company began backpedaling on the Winehouse post. Here are the last two messages from @tweetbox360, which is utilized to promote Xbox news and information.
Apologies to everyone if our earlier Amy Winehouse 'download' tweet seemed purely commercially motivated. Far from the case, we assure you.
With Amy W's passing, the world has lost a huge talent. Our thoughts are with Amy's family and friends at this very sad time.
It's not the first time a tweet has seemingly put Microsoft between a rock and a hard place. In March, its search property, Bing, caught flak for attempting to launch a brand-related goodwill marketing effort around the Japan tsunami disaster.

I have found this solution in C to check if a binary tree is balanced. However, I am having a very hard time visualizing how this algorithm works entirely. For that reason, there are two things I am uncertain about.
- Does the algorithm recurse in the middle of the tree and not just the sides?
- I noticed that only
max(1, r)is called, don't we need to find the
minas well?
Furthermore, how would you even go about developing an algorithm like this? I wouldn't know how to come up with a solution like this..

Moody's Places Hurricane Institutions on Credit Watchlist for Possible Downgrade
September 22, 2005
Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of 51 credits in the states of Louisiana and Mississippi on Watchlist for possible downgrade as a consequence of Hurricane Katrina, affecting about $9.4 billion in outstanding rated debt. Although no defaults are currently anticipated, the ultimate extent of credit deterioration is unknown. No ratings in Alabama were added to Watchlist, as hurricane damage in that state is significantly more manageable.
As rescue operations shift toward promoting a regional recovery that will be funded by federal support, private insurance, and private philanthropy, Moody's indicated that economic and financial improvement should begin to occur across the affected region. Given the extent of the damage in some areas, longer-term credit risks may be created in some cases if the pace and duration of recovery and rebuilding are protracted.
Moody's anticipates that in the long run, new investments in infrastructure may lead to stronger local economies and credit conditions in some cases. Moody's will update rating actions to reflect the individual credit circumstances of each entity as information about the risks and opportunities facing each issuer becomes available.
Obviously, due to the physical damage caused by the storm, the financial operations of the affected states, their cities and counties, and other public entities (including toll roads, public hospitals, and public housing projects) have also been disrupted.
To Moody's knowledge, all debt service payments recently or immediately due have been made, while state-level finance officials have already made provisions to meet upcoming debt service obligations. The continuity of debt service payments reflects the overall strength and security of public finance credits, particularly in light of the extreme nature of current conditions.
Moody's notes, however, that communication with local financial officials had not been possible in some areas in affected cities and towns where the damage is most severe. In those cases, Moody's has not been able to ascertain the status of the issuers' plans or their ability to meet upcoming debt service obligations.
State officials indicated that they recognized the need for state support in the near term and that they would consider what, if any action, would be necessary.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 16 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Davidchyd Great hotel but rude staff Everything is great in this hotel. Their breakfast and dinner were fantastic. Booked the Deluxe Twin, the room is very big and neat. Yet, the staff is rude at the check in counter, when I ask for SPG benefits, she just being very rude and deny my requests. January 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Haowei Best hotel in Kobe Great hot spring and nice service October 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jll888 Value for Money and great SPG Elite Status recognition We had return to this hotel for your Kobe trip and the hotel never failed us by upgrade us to the suite room. It room even equip with free Video on Demand which is over our expectation and we really enjoy it very much. The hotel had open a "Onsen", and as an elite member, you can enjoy the "onsen" for free. It is another things that over our expectation. The Onsen is really nice and is very recommended to enjoy this new facility. October 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Takada Relaxing stay; quiet environment We found this SPG property to be quite family friendly; the staff courteous and multi-lingual; and the food, location, and environment good. As some reviewers have noted, the property is located some distance away from Kobe Central, but we did not find this to be a problem as the lobby of the hotel connects directly to the Kobe monorail that brings you to the heart of the city and all it's transportation and entertainment options. In the immediate vicinity of the property is a quiet planned community with restaurants and a few boutiques with a very nice open plaza area and large playground - great for kids. Of course there are great dining options in the hotel as well. We were a bit disappointed with the somewhat limited hours/days the sports pub was open. We were very happy to see that the property did not expect drivers to pay for a parking scheme on top of accommodations and the free parking and the easy of driving to and from the hotel was a major factor in our pleasant stay. This is a property we wouldn't hesitate to stay at (with the beautiful city night view) again! May 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cocomo Mr. Nishi is an exemplary GM!! It was rough around the edges, the first room we got (on club level) had black mold in vents and bathroom so we asked to speak to the manager on duty (because we were told there was no more other rooms to change to). It is our rights as consumers to request a clean room. Mr. Nishi came within 10 mins and after we showed him the problems, he immediately changed us to another room (not club level) but at least it was cleaner. Service at the Garden (café) on the second night was not good....the place was hardly occupied, yet when they sat us (party of 3) down, we didn't get a menu. We waited for 1/2 hour and nobody noticed we had no menu nor did anyone ask us what we would like to drink. My husband talked to the manager of the restaurant and Mr. Nishi came again later to apologize himself for the lack of service. The reason why I said Mr. Nishi was an exemplary GM was because unlike the countless GMs we encountered all over the world, he did not try to make excuses. He treated our complaints seriously and in a timely manner. Number 1 rule in hospitality industry.... customers are always right. He tried his best given what he had. April 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SanFranBen Nice hotel but not much in the neighborhood Stayed at the Kobe Sheraton for business. My meeting was very nearby so it was convenient on one hand, but it was very far from downtown. I wanted to take an overseas visitor (I live in Japan) for a meal of Kobe's famous beef and it was 3,000 JPY or so each way. The hotel itself and the staff were great. No complaints at all. I was put in a room with a nice view. So if you have meetings in the area, it's a nice hotel, but far from most of the traditional hightlights. March 11, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Derek1980 Acceptable standards but fine tuning needed Location is a bit out of the way, accessible via Rokko Linear line if you wanna head to their "town" via sumiyoshi station. Greeted by staff who tells me without even looking at the system that my check-in time is 2pm and what time will I come back. Confusion about the club benefits that provide free video on demand. But limited selection anyway. Executive lounge staff was quite good, attentive and detailed. Service crew at the first floor buffet breakfast also did exceedingly well. Hotel is a little dated, amenities need restoration or refurbishment. In-room amenities are quite substantial, including face mask, moisturizing socks, etc. Fortunately this is the only SPG brand hotel, the next nearest would be JR train away at Osaka. Rates are reasonable, rooms are comfy but a little stuffy. Linked to a hotel shopping arcade with 100-yen shop, convenient stall and some mediocre restaurants. Definitely worth a visit but don't expect too much. March 8, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Clara Convenient but a bit far away from city centre Hotel is located just next to railway (Rikko Line). But it takes some time to reach city centre. Nevertheless, the island is very peaceful and comfortable to hang around. January 22, 2014

A Koala takes it easy in the shade of a hot day in November at the Australian Reptile Park in New South Wales, Australia. The park, obviously, has more than just reptiles: there are birds, mammals, and plant life, as well. All in all, a wonderful place to spend the day!

A Note To Canonical: "Don't Piss On Wayland"
Published on 05 March 2013 05:47 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
176 Comments
In addition to
X.Org and Wayland developers criticizing Canonical
on Google+ about
the Mir display server
, there was a colorful discussion about this new open-source project on the Wayland IRC channel.
Shared via
this forum post
is a copy of the
IRC channel that took place with exchanges was Chris Halse Rogers "RAOF", he's the only Canonical employee that participated in the discussion, who works on X for Wayland and is one of
the Mir Canonical developers
. Participating in the IRC exchange on the Wayland side were Kristian Høgsberg "krh", David Airlie "airlied", Daniel Stone "daniels", and other Wayland stakeholders.
Chris Halse Rogers, the Canonical employee, was quick to joke around that "It's [Canonical's] turn to pull a systemd!" He admitted that he knew internally about Mir and that's his reason for his "lack of work on the wayland system compositor branches."
Kristian was quick to let the Canonical developer know he doesn't agree with Mir and that "the technical reasons on the Mir page just don't add up." In particular, "everything about input" that the Ubuntu developers say as shortcomings with Wayland. Kristian added, "don't go out and tell the whole world how wayland is broken and has all X's input problems...that's what pisses me off...you can do whatever you want and you don't need my permission but don't piss on wayland in the process."
The vibrant IRC discussion then came about Chris Halse Rogers saying Canonical was unsure if their contributions would be accepted into upstream Wayland, followed by the Canonical developer admitting, "I'm unfamiliar with wayland's input handling." Kristian ended up responding to Rogers saying that he doesn't think Canonical meant to "piss" on Wayland by saying, "so don't go and tell the world it's broken if you don't know what it is." Kristian additionally said, "I'll have fun explaining how that's not the case to everybody for the next few months."
Open-source graphics driver developer Jerome Glisse got in on the conversation by saying, "if you look at mir example it's scary...doesn't seems to have the notion of atomic commit...or frame synchronisation...there is a bunch of usleep in them with bogus value to supposedly do 60fps."
The discussion did turn to technical merits and just not flaming between the polarized parties. However, in the end it seems that all of the "advantages" of Mir seem to be features already implemented in Wayland or could be achieved without touching the core Wayland protocol.
Rogers also said when talking about porting tool-kits is that they will just be looking at porting the "master" state of the tool-kits, i.e. Qt5 and GTK3 but not the older versions. He also said "we seem to like the android input stack" but "I'm not totally familiar with [its input]."
Those are the highlights from the lengthy IRC discussion that happened on Monday about Ubuntu's Mir. At this point I remain very unconvinced that Mir will be in a state for widespread Ubuntu desktop deployments by the time of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in one year. If there is one thing though that Canonical is becoming wildly successful at is alienating and fragmenting the core upstream Linux communities with their "Not Invented Here" syndrome.
If you didn't yet try building Mir, see
Building & Running The Ubuntu Mir Display Server
where I also included a video of Canonical's display demo.
