TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Jose Antonio Puno
Hotel sits well outside of town on a main road. Nice enough hotel however our room while overlooking the lake was noisy from the passing traffic. Food and service was excellent. Also had a nice Lounge area overlooking the lake.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
The hotel was luxurious and very warm. Our room was comfortable with beautiful views over the lake and Puno. The highlight was dinner at the restaurant where the service was perfect (and I am trained in silver service hospitality). The food, wine and cocktails were all so tasty and the atmosphere was wonderful with beautiful view, log fire, polite and friendly staff and pleasant music. It was a wonderful evening, thank you so much!

TripAdvisor Reviews Hotel Jose Antonio Puno
Travel Blogs from Puno
Lake Titicaca/Lima
We left our hotel at seven am for the 390 kilometre bus ride to Lake Titicaca. Our first stop after only 45 minutes was the Andahuaylillas Catholic Church. You drive through what seemed a poor village to a very opulent church where they were clicking the ticket for entry. While the church seemed very well maintained none of its wealth looked as if …
Puno and Lake Titicaca
... even though it was raining. Every town or village the train passes through has their market place right on the railway line, it is so close sometimes that you could reach out the window and take something as you go past. In Sicuani, they actually lowered the tarps to allow the train to go through and then propped them up again as we passed. We arrived in Puno at approximately 8.00 pm. I think everyone fell into bed ...
The High Andes
... 13 hours on the road with a brief stop at Sillustani was met by power cuts during a huge thunder storm which lasted several hours!
Today was spent recovering from the road trip and preparing for our next 10 hour one tomorrow.....
Good news though as it was sunny until 3pm before the storm came in and the local sheep got covered in hail! Sorry but no picture as the rain washed in off before the camera came ...
The floating islands of Uros then back to Puno
... family: Tahoma;">Each island takes a year to build and lasts around 40 years, held in place by anchors. The locals sang us a song which included the lyrics 'it doesn't matter where you come from, or the colour of your skin, if your heart is the same as mine, take my hand and let's be friends'. <br style="line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Tahoma;">Boat back to ...
31. Lake Titicaca and Uros Floating Islands
Wednesday 10th December. After a fantastic breakfast at the hotel, we left for a tour of the Uros floating islands. It was about a 35 minute boat ride from Puno out onto Lake Titicaca before we arrived at a small island occupied by five families. We were given a very interesting and slick presentation - using miniature models - on the islands' history, construction and everyday culture, before being taken out on on a traditional ...

brewed a blonde three weeks ago, put in the fridge with a temp controller at 65f, was going to bottle today so i moved it from the garage last night so it would have time to settle back down, went to bottle it but noticed the temp got up to 74f and is bubbling out the airlock again, what should i do?
You should check the specific gravity with your hydrometer and see how close you are to your expected final gravity. In particular, if it's under 1.020, you're probably good to bottle.
Otherwise, I'd guess after three weeks fermentation is over, but the only way to tell for sure is to check the gravity.
Bubbling airlocks mean very little. In this case, since the temperature has gone up, there's more pressure in the fermenter and the air is escaping because of this.
Take a hydrometer reading then wait a few days and then take another . If your readings are the same secondary or bottle which ever you prefer. Cheers!
Most likely the natural carbonation from fermentation coming out of solution at the slightly warmer temp!
opened the lid to check the gravity, there is a thick bubbly foam on top of the beer from all the gases being released, should i check it or let it sit for a few days
When in doubt, just wait.
If I had to guess, I say that there is a 99% chance that you just releases some CO2 by upping the temp. I'd much rather wait 3 days than have bottle bombs though.
just use your hydrometer its the only way to be sure its done. 2 same readings in a 3 day period.
Taking hydrometer readings a couple days apart is the only way you will know 100% that it is done fermenting. I would be pretty surprised if it isn't done fermenting after 3 weeks, provided it is a normalish gravity beer.
Like others stated, the bubbles are more than likely CO2 coming out of solution.

The France international is so desperate to regain his place in the Magpies team that he says he is prepared to play anywhere on the pitch except in goalHatem Ben Arfa is happy to trust Alan Pardew's judgement on which position he should play as he is desperate for a Newcastle United recall.
The France international has been deployed as a winger and a forward for Newcastle this season, but has watched the last two games, wins over Chelsea and Tottenham, from the bench as an unused substitute.
|Newcastle are 8/11 with Coral to beat Norwich on Saturday
He told The Shields Gazette: "I'll play anywhere on the pitch if the gaffer thinks it's best for the team.
"I'll give 100% anywhere he puts me.
"I'm a professional football player – I have to give everything on the pitch. It is the same for all the players.
"I'll play anywhere – just not goalkeeper!"
After their run of two consecutive victories, the Magpies have risen to ninth in the Premier League table.

text: Viktor Rose Viktors Roze Riga / Jelgava, Latvia Viktor Rose is a relatively new producer and DJ born on 17.07.1992 in Latvia. Being raised in a musical family, in his early days he experienced strong impact of classical melodies. Around 2003 electronic music caught his attention and when he began to hear artists like David Morales, Michael Gray, Eric Prydz and others, it became a big part of his life. While other kids where playing computer games, he liked to edit and play with sound to get it beyond recognition. In this way he slowly developed extraordinary producing skills. Getting deeper into this music when he started DJing in 2006, Viktor went to private electronic music school. Later he becomes resident DJ in few clubs. In producing music Viktor Rose takes he's inspiration from artists like Dinka, Thomas Schwartz, Umek, Marek Hemmann, Sander Van Doorn, Deadmau5, Daniel Portman, Axwell, Eric Prydz (Pryda) and others. My sound trays to find balance between organic (acoustic sounds) and digital/electronic textures. I keep the feeling and emotion of the track at the front. Sound design is very important - it need to reflect the attitude of the track and make prosody with everything in the track. I think if you focus on crating the energy in the track that resonates with you, your sound will emerge naturally. eMail: firstname.lastname@example.com Sounds Hummingbird by Viktor Rose published on 2015/02/16 11:41:00 +0000 Viktor Rose Electro House Construction Kit DEMO by Viktor Rose published on 2015/02/05 10:08:22 +0000 Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head (Viktor Rose 2011 Remix) by Viktor Rose published on 2014/08/13 12:14:23 +0000 Tegan and Sara - Closer (Viktor Rose Remix) by Viktor Rose published on 2014/06/18 14:13:42 +0000 Rocker's time by Viktor Rose published on 2014/06/18 14:05:51 +0000 Viktor Rose - The Phantom of the Club (Original mix) by Viktor Rose published on 2013/07/23 08:02:33 +0000 Viktor Rose - Palladium (Original mix) by Viktor Rose published on 2013/07/16 10:19:23 +0000 Viktor Rose - Requiem (original mix) (CUT) by Viktor Rose published on 2012/01/07 15:36:46 +0000 Nic Fanciulli vs Morcheeba- Feed The Freezer with Blood(Viktor Rose Mashup) by Viktor Rose published on 2011/09/01 09:06:58 +0000 LigaLize - Summer Groove (Viktor Rose remix) by Viktor Rose published on 2011/05/10 19:28:22 +0000

Ok, well Im 32, (Im the one on the right) was born and raised in Canada, went to law school in England, now back in Canada and beginning the process of challenging law exams to practice here. I am living in a suburb outside of Edmonton, Alberta. I like reading, concerts, travelling (actually did a USA east coast road trip back in 2010 with a friend and loved it so much, doing it again just with the boyfriend. The only new stop will be Philadelphia, St. Augustine and Orlando, as we are pretty much sticking with the route I used prior). I like art, music, and history, and spending time with my family and friends.

Scott Monument
This is not the best view point for Edinburgh although its not bad. Its a hell of a dizzying climb up very narrow stairs for a few minutes of viewing not really worth in my opinion. Check out Black ford Hills for the best view. Hit the stairmaster first and make sure when you do it its a nice day. Hit Blackfort hills (see must do activities.)more
Art & Culture
This is kind of a "museum", where the visitors are told about how our planet was created and how it was developing. However, no real things of the past centuries are exhibited.

If there's one thing a movie starring Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart guarantees, it's mixed-to-negative critical reception and decent-to-stellar audience reaction. Both seem like strong possibilities this Friday with the release of the duo's new comedy Get Hard (2015), in which a wealthy tycoon (Ferrell) insists that his employee (Hart) show him the ins-and-outs of how to survive in prison after he himself is sentenced. Early screenings of Get Hard have brought claims of homophobia and racial stereotyping, yet the popularity of the movie's two stars should be enough to potentially carry the comedy to a healthy run at the box office.
Should Get Hard succeed, it will be another victory for director and co-writer Etan Cohen, who has found success writing such hits as Tropic Thunder and Men In Black 3. Yet for a select few, his collaboration with Mike Judge on the hilarious and somewhat horrifying Idiocracy (2006) remains his best work. »

Luke Owen reviews Silicon Valley: The Complete First Season…
In the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley, the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success. A comedy partially inspired by Mike Judge's own experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late 1980s.
Remember those kids in school? The ones who were glued to computer screens instead of playing football with the "cool" kids? Of course you do. They were usually picked on, beaten up, bullied to the point of being afraid to leave their bedroom. Perhaps you were one of them. Perhaps you were one of the kids who kicked their heads in during lunch. Well, those nerdy computer kids now rule the world. Silicon Valley is about those kids. And it's brilliantly funny.

Mike Judge's critically acclaimed tech comedy Silicon Valley is back for a second season. Season one ended with the success in Silicon Valley's "live-in start up business incubator," as Pied Piper triumphed at TechCrunch Disrupt once Richard Hendricks (Thomas Middleditch) wrote some inspired last minute code to help their compression algorithm outperform the rival Nucleus software owned by the company Hendricks and Donald "Jared" Dunn used to work for.
HBO has now released a trailer for the new season. This season begins with the CEO of Hooli and the Nucleus project, Gavin Belson (Matt Ross), preparing his company for a showdown with Hendricks, an ex-employee. The Pied Piper crew are also shown tooling up for their business battle. Actor Chris Diamantopoulos (Arrested Development's Marky Bark) plays an over-tanned, designer clothes wearing, sports car driving, investor who hopes to "Get Pied Piper out there" through "Brand awareness" and "Synergy, »

To celebrate the reason of HBO's Silicon Valley – Season One on Blu-ray and DVD this week in the UK, we've got 3 copies to giveaway!
From the offbeat mind of Mike Judge (Office Space, Idiocracy), this critically-acclaimed HBO comedy takes viewers inside the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley. Inspired by Judge's own experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the 80's, the show follows the trials and tribulations of awkward computer programmer Richard (Thomas Middleditch – The Wolf of Wall Street), who lives in a "Hacker Hostel" along with his friends Big Head (Josh Brener – The Big Bang Theory), Gilfoyle (Martin Starr – This Is The End), and Dinesh (Kumail Nanjiani – Sex Tape).
Under the watchful eye of Erlich (T.J. Miller – Transformers: Age of Extinction), a dotcom millionaire who lets them stay in his house for free (as long as he gets a 10% stake in their projects), the »

The cast includes Thomas Middleditch, T.J. Miller, Zach Woods, Kumail Nanjiani, Martin Starr, Josh Brener, Amanda Crew, Matt Ross and Jimmy Ouyang.

I'm a fan of The Big Bang Theory and I always will be, but the criticism it often gets for mocking "nerds" is something hard to defend it from, because a lot of the humour is obviously doing just that. What we need is a comedy with a little more intelligence where it's not just about the geeks being awkward around women, but actually smartly satirises a culture that is now seen as the new "cool". Step forward Alec Berg and Mike Judge's Silicon Valley: The Complete First Season.

To celebrate the release of the magnificent Season One of HBO's Silicon Valley on Monday 23rd March, we've got a rather brilliant featurette to share with you exclusively.
From the offbeat mind of Mike Judge (Office Space, Idiocracy), this critically-acclaimed HBO comedy takes viewers inside the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley. Inspired by Judge's own experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the 80's, the show follows the trials and tribulations of computer programmer Richard (Thomas Middleditch), who lives in a "Hacker Hostel" along with his friends Big Head (Josh Brener), Gilfoyle (Martin Starr), and Dinesh (Kumail Nanjiani).
Under the watchful eye of Erlich (T.J. Miller), a dotcom millionaire who lets them stay in his house for free (as long as he gets a 10% stake in their projects), the friends struggle to break into the elusive and lucrative market. It's not only a lot »

Austin - It will come as no surprise to anyone who reads me on a regular basis that I am a Will Ferrell fan. Even before he made the jump to leading man in the world of features, I was already fully onboard. There's just something about the particular brand of lunacy that so many of his characters embody that entertains me completely. There are few things I enjoy more than seeing what happens when Ferrell and Adam McKay are turned loose on something together, two halves of one mutant brain, the combination of the two resulting in something remarkable. Etan Cohen, you are no Adam McKay. I actually do like some of Cohen's work. "Idiocracy," for example, is a script I adore, co-written by Cohen and Mike Judge, and "Tropic Thunder" is tremendous. But "Get Hard" is impossible to defend thanks to a disastrous choice made early on in the development process. »

The Austin Film Society, organizers of the Texas Film Awards, have more than a few milestones to celebrate this year. Not only the 30th anniversary of the Society and the 15th anniversary of the Awards themselves, it's also the capper on a banner year for Texans in film, with Lone Star natives Wes Anderson and Society cofounder Richard Linklater both nominated for director at last month's Oscars.
As part of the Texas Film Hall of Fame induction ceremony, hosted by Mike Judge, Variety executive editor Steven Gaydos will present a creative achievement award to Linklater's "Boyhood," along with posthumous honors to Christopher Evan Welch and L.M. Kit Carson.

Ok, so maybe Michael Bolton is a semi-talented "ass clown." "When a Man Loves a Woman" singer Bolton recently took time out from soothing the nation's soul with his honey-coated pipes long enough to film a Funny or Die video, in which he injects himself into the 1999 Mike Judge cult classic "Office Space." See video: Leonard Nimoy Channels the Dude in Bruno Mars Clip As "Office Space" fans well recall, one of the thieving nerds at Initech, played by David Herman, shared a name with Bolton, much to the employee's chagrin, but much to the delight of a pair of consultants. »

Mike Judge's Office Space isn't exactly a film that celebrates the career of singer Michael Bolton - actually going out of its way to call him a "no-talent ass clown" (one of my favorite cinematic insults) - but it's to Bolton's credit that he takes the jabs in stride. How do we know this? Because he actually agreed to recreate the key scenes in the film that mock his name. Above you'll find one of the latest videos to hit Funny or Die, and while it's not exactly going to surprise you in any major way, that doesn't stop it from being funny and well put together. As the title "Office Space with Michael Bolton" suggests, the clip features the singer edited into some of the most memorable scenes from the cult comedy, and in addition to being a rather skilled edit, it's also humorous to watch Bolton poke »

If you celebrate the entire Mike Judge catalog like we do, you're going to want to watch this latest video from the Funny or Die team.

Office Space with Michael Bolton from Funny Or Die
Even after 16 years, Mike Judge's Office Space has endured as a cult film way larger and with a bigger impact on popular culture than it ever had in 1999. And while Jennifer Aniston and red, Swingline staplers have all gone on to bigger and better things, the one star that did not have a resurgence as a function of that film was Michael Bolton.
Well, it's good to see the pop singer has a sense of humor at calling himself an "ass clown", as for a video for Funny or Die, Bolton has superimposed himself into all "other" Michael Bolton's scenes, including taking a few blows at that damn copier. Watch the video above.
And I think I'll just leave this here:

The Austin Film Society hosts its annual Texas Film Awards, one of the most high-profile events in the city, on Thursday night, March 12. This year marks the awards' 15th year and to celebrate its "crystal anniversary" of honoring the best in Texas film, honorees include some of the biggest names in the industry from actors to producers to writers. Local filmmaker Mike Judge is this year's emcee.
The event itself is sold out, but a few tickets are still available to The Texas Party, the after-party featuring a DJ set by Wooden Wisdom, aka Elijah Wood and Zach Cowie.
In anticipation of Thursday's event, I thought a spotlight on each of the honorees and some of their finest contributions to the cinematic world was more than in order.

I'll take this as an invitation to add to the list:
Wind Canyon, Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Standing at the rim near the mouth of this deep and narrow canyon, you look out over the wilderness of the northwest corner of the park's southern unit. The Little Missouri River meanders through scrublands filled with bison and pronghorn. Come here at dawn for a surreal experience.
Pyramid Point, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. After a steep climb through birch-maple forest on the back of a perched dune, you emerge on a flat summit with the vast blue of Lake Michigan suddenly filling your vision. 500 feet below and about 10 miles out is the park's wilderness area, North Manitou Island.
Hurricane Ridge, Olympic National Park. 360 degree views. Glacier filled valleys, elk-filled fields, snow-capped mountains, the town of Port Angeles, the Straight of Juan de Fuca....you can see everything from up there.
How To Avoid A Bear Attack in the Great Outdoors, The Cartoon
Anyone who advocates "wacking" a bear is wacko. I do not think of brown bears as "savage, man-eating carnivores" but I have a great deal of respect for their potential to do some serious harm when they feel threatened. Your guide is an example of the arrogance and ignorance that can lead to tragic results to both bears and humans.
How To Avoid A Bear Attack in the Great Outdoors, The Cartoon
Maybe so, Fred, but I'm not sure I'd want to get close enough to a bear -- black, brown, grizzly, or polar -- to smack it on the nose!
How To Avoid A Bear Attack in the Great Outdoors, The Cartoon
When I was in Alaska last year, we saw several grizzlies (called "brown bears" up there). Our guide said that he often had to "holler at them" and "whack them over the head" to get them to leave the fishermen alone. He said, "you just need to treat them like a big dog." I thought that sounded like a foolish way to handle savage, man-eating carnivores, but he said it worked. Maybe the punch to the nose isn't all that bad an idea.
Scientists: Climate Change Seems Responsible for A Loss of Large-Diameter Trees in Yosemite National Park
The other shoe is a pair of papers by van Mantgem et al. (Ecology Letters10:909-916 (2007); Science 323:521-524 (2009)) showing that from Sequoia NP to Yosemite NP, over the past 20-30 years, per tree per year mortality rates have roughly doubled (that's what's referenced in the first paragraph of your excerpt).
Part of increased mortality is _because_ there are more small trees (small trees die at much higher rates than big trees, and fire suppression lets many more saplings become small trees rather than being killed as seedlings & saplings), but part is less soil moisture to go around even if the densities stayed the same.
One sobering implication is that even with increased controlled burns (to thin the medium trees and thus reduce the competition for water), it will take centuries to get back to the numbers of large trees found even 100 years ago. And, even with shifts in species ranges (e.g., those central Sierra species growing by Lassen or into Oregon), there won't be really big trees. Locations with favorable climate when the tree is an establishing sedling & sapling won't still be favorable by the time the tree might get large.

Historic Lighthouse Aids in Rescue at Apostle Islands National Lakeshore
Lake Superior often doesn't get the respect it deserves from recreationists. I'm not saying any of these folks were ill-prepared (except, perhaps the guide service that should have had more guides for a 19 boat group), but it's fairly common for people to think "lake" and decide boating or kayaking there should be a walk in the park. Apparently not enough people listen to Gordon Lightfoot songs. If Superior can take out a 30,000 ton iron ore freighter, it can swallow a kayak in the blink of an eye.
I've had several friends run into trouble in the channels between the Apostles and between the islands and mainland. A lot of unpredictable waves out there. When I was in college in Ashland, a couple friends of mine decided they were going to go pole rafting on a big chunk of floating ice off the Bayfield shore. To make a long story short, it's amazing how many kids actually survive college to tell the stories later! (Yes, they managed to self-rescue without USCG assistance.)
We're going kayaking in the Apostles next summer. Hopefully we won't get a write-up on Traveler.
9-Year-Old Killed By Rock Slide at Lassen Volcanic National Park
Whoa, Anon. Referring to an entire mountain as a peak is a practice as common as dirt. If you really want to avoid confusion when referring to the very top of the mountain, use the word summit.
9-Year-Old Killed By Rock Slide at Lassen Volcanic National Park
"Two of the kids stopped to take a rest, the slide occurred. One of the kids died on the peak, another little girl was injured. And then the last child was fine."
Kudo's to park Superintendent Darlene Koontz for adding confusion to a story that should be pretty straightforward. How in the blazes could the little boy have died of a rock slide if he was "on the peak"? He was obviously somewhere on the trail between the peak and the parking lot for that to have happened.
9-Year-Old Killed By Rock Slide at Lassen Volcanic National Park
One sentence is essential in your article: the mountain is barren and there is no vegetation to stabilize the flanks. I climbed Lassen Peak last year and I noticed some huge breadcrust bombs above the trail to the summit. Heavy rains or a slight earthquake may destabilize them. One should not forget Lassen is an active volcano (The last eruption occurred between 1914 and 1917). Besides, park authorities are right to ask hikers to keep to the footpath. Taking short cuts contributes to cause landslides that can become tragic.
9-Year-Old Killed By Rock Slide at Lassen Volcanic National Park

Tour Company Wants to Offer Helicopter Overflights of Crater Lake National Park, But Likely Won't See A Decision Soon
This dosen't have much to due with the terrible idea of scenic flights at any Park, but I have to agree with Frank C. about monopoly concessions. In addition to the tiny fees paid to the government, often the facilities are property of the NPS, which picks up most of the maintenance tab. The infrequent renewals tend to breed overly cosy concession managers and Park managers, a very powerful bloc in planning & policy affecting both the visitor experience and the economy of rural gateway communities.
A couple examples from Mount Rainier: The Paradise mass transit system leaves from one concessionaire and delivers you to another, while bypassing most local businesses. Clients of lodging and climbing concessions had access during the six-month 'flood' closure of 2007, while the public was totally excluded, even from hiking across the boundary.

Frank and Anonymous,
Did you guys miss the memo on condescension?
Kurt, I did not get a memo on condescension, but I did get the one on personal attacks and have been avoiding those. I assure you that any condescension readers might take from my words are read into them by the reader, and I am endeavoring to write in neutral tones.
As for putting concession contracts up for bid, that introduces the appearance of competition, but the government remains a middleman, and for periods as long as decades, all other competition is excluded by law from entering the market.
Are Our National Parks No Longer for the People?
"does the level of national park visitation even matter? Shouldn't it suffice that we protect these unique places"

Tour Company Wants to Offer Helicopter Overflights of Crater Lake National Park, But Likely Won't See A Decision Soon
Frank and Anonymous,
Did you guys miss the memo on condescension?
Beyond that, Frank, I'd disagree with your perception of Xanterra as a government-granted monopoly. As your own source notes, such a monopoly is created when "a government grants exclusive privilege to a private individual or firm to be the sole provider of a good or service; potential competitors are excluded from the market by law, regulation, or other mechanisms of government enforcement.(my emphasis)."
As the recent post out of Bryce Canyon clearly illustrates, concession contracts are put up for competitive bid. In that most recent case, Xanterra lost its contract to Forever Resorts, a development that runs counter to your contention.
Sections of Pacific Crest Trail Poached by Mountain Bikers; Could Problems Arise in National Parks?
Reading all the posts prior to mine, the PCT was established for hikers and equestrians. If mountainbike people and dirtbike people want to ride a trail, go through the process and channels and get one established. The existing PCT does see bike and off-road vehicle traffic, mostly dirtbikes that tear up the trail. Living near the trail I see them all the time. The BLM, forest service and PCT association do not have the manpower to patrol or police the usage, nor do they have enough volunteers to repair the damage done by illegal users. So buying a special permit to allow mountainbikers to ride it will not cover that deficit for manpower and repairs. It just does not exist. The mentality of mtnbike riders in some of these posts is childish, you're going to ride it anyway since you haven't been caught and are aware there is little to no enforcement. If I rode in your front yard against your wishes and clearly against the law without your permission I would get a citatioin by the local police, there are plenty of those around in cities. Get some sense.
Tour Company Wants to Offer Helicopter Overflights of Crater Lake National Park, But Likely Won't See A Decision Soon
Xanterra: the private sector at work.
Anonymous, you missed the part where I described Xanterra as a government-granted monopoly. Xanterra is in no, way, shape or form part of the "private sector". Your entire response after that false assertion is ridden with logical fallacies, so I will not address it other than what I've already mentioned.
Thank you, and have a good day.
Jon Jarvis Questioned During His Confirmation Hearing On Snowmobiles in Yellowstone National Park
When this topic comes up, the argument that I hear most often is that according to our mission statement we are to also provide recreational opportunities. I always remind people that this was written in 1916 when recreational opportunities meant hiking, skiing, swimming, etc. Motorized recreation was not even a thought and even cars were believed to be a passing craze.

They definitely hire some amazing people - fun, smart, funny - and the kind of people you want to work 60 hours a week with. The majority of my adult friends are from FH, and some of my most interesting and fun career moments were at FH. The firm does also get some interesting and challenging clients that offer some exceptional work experiences.Cons
First, there is little to no actual management training of senior staff - the firm's staffing model means they keep promoting smart people who have no business or skill managing the people below them. Second, since the firm is headquartered in a low cost-of-living market, salaries are some of lowest in the industry, regardless of what market you are in, making many, many staff feel underappreciated and consistently thinking about their next move.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Reward loyalty to the firm with actual bonuses and legitimate pay raises. Don't make people group leaders simply because they are smart and that's the only path to making them partner. Most employees are hard-pressed to name a single group leader they believe would nurture their careers or advocate for them for promotions or professional growth.RecommendsNegative OutlookApproves of CEO

Half Measures
Here's a little secret for increasing the energy in a drum
loop: Crop it to a half-measure. While one- and two-bar loops are
certainly more complex, you can quickly achieve a more driving,
energetic feel by simply shortening the loop to a half-bar. Even the
funkiest drum loop can be transformed into driving techno using this
technique, so if you're looking to make "hard" music, this trick should
be at the top of your list.
Sometimes a loop will contain a kick and snare that you
dig, but will also include percussion elements that are too dense and
busy. In most cases, the kick and snare are the loudest elements in a
loop, so by applying a noise gate to its track, you can effectively
isolate those elements while muting the rest. Start with the gate's
default preset then adjust the threshold until just the kick and snare
are present. From there, tinker with the gate's attack and release to
remove any pops or click.
Highpass Filtering
This may seem obvious to some, especially considering that
countless libraries use this technique for the creation of their "top
loops," but for those who just getting into soundware, a highpass filter
is a great way to minimize the kick, snare, and mid-frequency
percussion while keeping the shakers and hats intact. This trick alone
will stretch the value of even the oldest loop collection, so if you
hear a groove with great top-level elements but want to use your own
kick and snare, this is the way to go.
Envelope Followers
Many modern plug-ins, especially filters, now include
envelope followers. While these are ideal for wah effects, slapping a
lowpass or bandpass filter with the cutoff modulated by an envelope
follower is a tried-and-true method for adding a "French house" element
to your grooves. Check to see if your flanger plug-in includes an
envelope follower as well (many of Ableton Live's effects include
envelope followers baked right in). When applied to flanging, this
technique gives loops a squishy, wobbly vibe that's great for tech-house
and techno.
Get Your Freq On
If you really want to get freaky, conga and bongo loop
elements can be transformed into synthetic djembes and dumbeks by
applying frequency shifters and ring modulators, with a touch of slow
LFO modulation of their frequency. To get the best results, start with
lower frequency settings and tinker from there. Higher values will give a
"shortwave radio" effect, which is also cool for techno and harder
These are my comments.

Cortex-M3 MUCs feature on-Board 10/100 Ethernet, CAN2.0B and USB
Toshiba Electronics Europe's next series of high-performance, low-power 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontrollers will combine Ethernet, CAN and USB Host and Device connectivity in a single IC. Potential applications for the TMPM369Fxxx family include industrial control systems, barcode readers, motion control, home appliances and solar inverters.
Based around an ARM Cortex-M3 core running at 80MHz, the four microcontrollers in the TMPM369Fxxx series integrate single-channel CAN2.0B, a full-speed USB Host controller, a full-speed USB device controller and a 10/100BASE single-channel Ethernet MAC. Two independent ADCs with conversion times of 1µs – or 0.5 µs in interleaved mode – meet the requirements of barcode readers and other applications requiring ultra-fast conversion. In addition, each of the devices features a special Multi-Purpose Timer (MPT). This MPT combines three-phase PWM control with an ADC trigger making the new devices ideal for motor control applications.

|Population below poverty line (%)
|Congo, Democratic Republic of the
|Sierra Leone
Definition: National estimates of the percentage of the population falling below the poverty line are based on surveys of sub-groups, with the results weighted by the number of people in each group. Definitions of poverty vary considerably among nations. For example, rich nations generally employ more generous standards of poverty than poor nations.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Trudeau's Senate worst of all options
VANCOUVER -- Justin Trudeau is to be congratulated for his bold leap into the Senate reform debate and for promoting a reform option that does not require constitutional change, and need not await permission from the Supreme Court.
Trudeau has undoubtedly hit the political sweet spot in a very messy debate, winning kudos from across the board, including the dean of political journalists, Jeffrey Simpson, and the Canada West Foundation.
In the short term, of course, the expulsion of senators from the Liberal caucus will have no impact. The existing Liberal senators have been Liberals since they crawled out of the egg, and they will remain Liberals until they die. Although they will now be called independents, they will continue to support the Liberal party in every possible way and will oppose the Conservative government in every possible way.
If you think this assessment is too extreme, imagine the response if Prime Minister Stephen Harper were to follow Trudeau's lead and declare, from this point on, that Conservative senators would be independents. We would likely say "pull my other leg," concluding that dressing up Conservatives as independents would make them no less Conservative or conservative. Trudeau warrants no less cynicism.
The proof of the Trudeau pudding will rest on two points. The first is a firm commitment that if he wins the 2015 election, no new Senate appointments will be made until a new appointments process is in place, and that his role thereafter will be purely formal, taking advice from the new process as Harper has pledged to accept advice from provincial senatorial selection processes where they exist.
This commitment should be relatively easy for Trudeau, given that whatever he does, the Senate would remain firmly in Conservative hands for at least his first term of office.
The second is the truly daunting task of designing a selection process, and here Trudeau's initiative may lead us into the worst of all Senate reform options.
The selection mechanism that is most closely associated with Trudeau's proposal is the one used to select inductees to the Order of Canada. Sounds good, except the process is extremely secretive and operates with necessarily opaque criteria.
However, do we want senators, who would exercise real power, to be selected in secret through a star-chamber approach? And who will select the selectors? Presumably it will be the prime minister who will inevitably lean towards individuals who are ideologically aligned with his own priorities and agenda. They may not be big-L Liberals but they would certainly be small-l liberals who would seek out ideological soulmates as senators.
The litmus test in the selection process would not be partisanship, but it would be ideological, much as is the case with Supreme Court appointments in Canada and the United States.
The problem is compounded by the reality that true independents are very hard to find and, if found, may not be individuals we want exercising political power. People with a passion for the national interest are generally caught up in the fray of partisan politics. Do we want power exercised by individuals who are detached from the "real world" of party politics, who bring very idiosyncratic and personal agendas to the policy process?
Trudeau has brought new life to a gridlocked debate and Canadians should be grateful. He is now obligated, however, to convince Canadians they should put aside any commitment to democratic principles in favour of a secretive, unaccountable and ideologically charged process. I'm not convinced that we would be well-served in the long run.
Dr. Roger Gibbins is former president and CEO of Canada West Foundation.
