Fun time!
We had such a fun time and that was the point!
From the ramada we bar hopped, we hung out at pool and we had music on in room to enjoy a wonderful fun Sunday. No complaints
Quick getaway
Big hotel, convenient parking(though you have to pay for the day) on location, restaurant in front of the hotel, very clean room, cheaper than other places, and the location is great, close to everything. Nothing to do much around the area at
night but the restaurant is opened 24/7 so drinks all night and the fireplace outside was a plus. All in all, would stay here again.
Quick stop over
Great stay, great location for bar hopping on sunset
Good stay
Good hotel in a good area. Rooms are comfy. Pool is smaller then expected but still good.
short trip
It was alright. The location was great. It was close to restaurants and bars around weho. The staffs though were unfriendly.
Business Trip
Nice hotel, great location. Saw a roach run across our TV though
Would not recommend
1 night stay
The area was convenient for getting to Sunset (you could walk easily to parts, or a short Uber ride). The front staff wasn't very helpful when it came to needing reservations, and the concierge I spoke to the day before put me off because he said
he was too busy and to wait until I got to the hotel, when we arrived he showed me a bunch of take out menus for pizza and chinese! We had 2 double beds since a few of us were in the room and one bed was rock hard with uncomfortable pillows, the other bed was better! When housekeeping came to the door in the morning (we didn't have a do not disturb sign) she asked why we didn't have the sign out if we were still sleeping and I told her we never had one so she gave me one, so PUT one out if you want to sleep in past 8! I also asked her for an extra towel since the hotel room didn't have a bath mat (she had her housekeeping cart next to her at our door) she said she didn't have one she could give me and I would have to go downstairs and get one! Also the elevators were broken while we were there (not a big deal to take the stairs just seemed like an inconvenience for others that were there)! The 24 hour restaurant next door was great and worth trying though!
great Stay
Booked this hotel for one night and ended up staying 3 nights because of how excellent the rooms and service was
Great location and the room was just awesome. Great view too
Trip for Hollywood Bowl performance
Great location and reasonable cost for lodging! Thanks!

Google Just Made The "I'm Feeling Lucky" Button Fun Again
Traditionally, a Google search via the homepage is made in one of three way: hitting "Enter" on your keyboad, hitting the "Google Search" button, or lastly, the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button that would take you the first site that is relevant to what you searched for. Except now, that button has been changed by Google to reflect if whether or not you feel lucky, hungry, adventurous, puzzled, or whatever adjective Google decides to play on you. And it's a lot of fun. Go check it out.

What Carl Sagan was to cosmology and Marlin Perkins was to zoology (and insurance), Jacques-Yves Cousteau brought his gently thrilling ocean-exploring adventures to the world at large, making crushing hydrostatic pressures and the bends seem like just another day at the office. Two Cousteau films kick off CineFamily's "Nature's Symphony Series": the 1956 documentary Le Monde Du Silence, co-directed by Louis "Au Revoir Les Fishies" Malle, and the Oscar-winning 1964 documentary Le Monde Sans Soleil. In the first, we experience hitherto hidden wonders of the ocean as Cousteau and Co. voyage in the Calypso arguably the most famous vessel of ocean exploration since the Argus across the Mediterranean and Red Seas and the Indian Ocean. Le Monde Sans Soleil follows six oceanauts as they live 30 feet underwater for 30 days, and the effects of isolation gradually inflicted upon these men even in the name of science and understanding.

Hall and O'Brien propel Northants
Click here for all the latest scores, match reports, news, videos and exclusive interviews during the Yorkshire Bank 40 campaign
Northamptonshire captain Andrew Hall claimed five wickets as his side began their Clydesdale Bank 40 campaign with a seven-wicket demolition of Leicestershire at Wantage Road.
Hall picked up 5-22 from 7.1 overs - his first five-for in domestic List A cricket - as the Foxes were bowled out for just 162 in only 35 overs.
James Taylor was the only batsman to provide any resistance for Leicestershire with an explosive 69 from 61 deliveries.
His efforts were then superseded by Ireland wicketkeeper Niall O'Brien, who smashed an unbeaten 94 off 63 balls, including 14 fours and four sixes, to guide the Steelbacks to victory with 59 deliveries to spare.
Leicestershire won the toss and chose to bat but they got off to an awful start as they lost Paul Nixon in the first over.
The veteran wicketkeeper-batsman edged Hall to O'Brien to depart for a five-ball duck and the South African all-rounder struck again four overs later when he trapped Jacques du Toit lbw for 15.
Josh Cobb fell for the same total when he was bowled by Lee Daggett, who then removed Wayne White for a single, but Taylor held firm and brought up his half-century from just 40 balls.
Teenager Shiv Thakor made 13 on his limited-overs debut before pulling David Lucas to Mal Loye at fine-leg and Taylor's fine innings was then brought to an end in tame fashion as he skied Hall to Alex Wakely at square-leg.
Hall yorked Claude Henderson for one soon after and wicketkeeper Tom New was caught by his opposite number O'Brien off David Willey after making 20.
Willey also accounted for Nadeem Malik before Hall wrapped up the innings by bowling Nathan Buck.
The Steelbacks lost Loye in the ninth over for 11 when he was trapped lbw by Leicestershire captain Matthew Hoggard.
But a partnership of 75 between Stephen Peters and O'Brien put the hosts back in control and the latter continued to prosper after his partner was caught and bowled by Henderson for 34.
Wakely also departed when he smashed Hoggard straight to White at point, but it was not long before O'Brien finished the match in style by hammering Henderson for six over midwicket.

Boil the moong till just tender. Cool.
Boil the potatoes and chop coarsely. Cool.
Tap the Poori at the center lightly to make a half inch hole in it.
Add about 1/2 teaspoon of the potatoes and 1/2 teaspoon of the boiled Moong.
Now add 1 tbsp of the Tamarind chutney.
Dip the filled Poori into the chilled pani puri water and serve.
You can add the above ingredients into the Poori according to your taste. Many people like to have only the sweet tamarind chutney, some like it hot and therefore adding the potatoes and lentils they dip the poori into the Pani Poori water. Some only add the moong/lentils while others favor the potatoes. Make your favorite combination.

what soil combo for new raised bed
Hi there,
We have a new raised bed and I am planning on planting vegetables in there, starting with some fall ones. Can you recommend a soil mix that we can get (Home Depot is where we are going). What % of things? We have no ground soil we can use, so cost is a factor but we also want good stuff for organic gardening.
about 35 cubic feet.
35 cubic feet is more than a yard of soil. To buy that much by the bag seems a bad idea, and also from Home Depot. My local landscape supply has over ten soil selections to choose depending on your use. I regularly buy one for potting which is probably their most expensive one at $50 a yard. Most of us have a friend with a pickup we can borrow if we don't want to pay a delivery charge. See what is available where you live. Al
You can probably find some real soil for free via Craig's List, you just have to be real picky and look for good stuff, not stuff full of weeds, bermuda grass, and rocks. Many people desperate to get rid of soil from remodeling projects, and some of it perfectly good (not all of it!!!).
The amendment industry is doing everything it can to convince people that native soil is no good to plant in, but guess what all our commercial fruits and veggies and grains grow in? It ain't the bagged stuff.

Gallery: Rabobank Unveils Incredible Cardboard office in The Netherland...
Sander Architecten was chosen out of 20 architects to implement their design for the 56,000 square meter project. The brief called for a social work environment that promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing. Helen Sander was reluctant to interfere with the office flow, which is why most of the partitioning has been kept horizontal rather than vertical.
Unlike plain cube walls present in standard, dull offices, the Washi paper and paperboard separations are inspiring and uplifting and therefore more likely to promote discussion. Because it can be easily recycled, cardboard is among the most popular materials to use. Grid skylights light up the whole building even further in what is one of the most attractive interior interventions we have seen in a long while.

What an inspiring project. Are the images taken from the top floor? Do the skylights have a connection to lower floors or just to the top floor? The shapes of the cardboard seem to provide strong support, and provide an interactive way to transverse the space.

Here there is no technology to shape the carton thereby.
Intelligent power slim columns for the idea that the roof is floating. dining tables in the cardboard stand the weight, but in the kitchen no structural function runs.

Tractor jumps no matter how slowly clutch is released
I have an older sears LT10 with a 3 speed peerless transmission. The problem I have is that no matter how slowly I release the clutch, the tractor jumps/jerks, front wheels jump off the ground; it does it in each gear-worst on the high gear. I always had this problem but it appears to have gotten worse.
Any suggestions on how to resolve would be welcomed!
Wow, I'm impressed. If it is the same LT 10 I had with a Peerless 3 speed tranny and chain drive to a differential, your machine is still going after 30 years.
Tom is right about the brakes, I hope that helped. Another problem especially with older machines can be the condition of the pulley's and idlers, especially the engine pulley. The belt has to slip to a degree in that pulley in order to disengage the belt. Rust or wear in the pulley, or a badly worn belt where the clutching cover is exposed and the rubber is coming through to much, etc. may cause clutching to deteriorate. Other than new parts I've seen a little dry graphite slick things up and provide at least a temporary solution. You can buy it in a squirt can, often used to lubricate locks. Get it on the belt and pulleys and you will see a difference. Good luck.
tomplum -It is not the brake.
dynamike59-my belt is >15yrs maybe?
mrtractors- my LT10 is from the mid 70's; (it does not have a separate differential); it has the original 11HP briggs engine, does not burn oil and even though it has been abused, it has been virtually trouble free. I use it now mainly with the snowthrover attachment. I stopped regularly using the cutting deck because it cannot mulch and there is no bagger available - I have a lot of leaves in the fall.
I will try the graphite.
And when you replace the belt, try to get a "wrapped" belt rather than a "raw edge" belt. Wrapped belts have better clutching action while raw edge belts tend to grip much quicker and have lots less clutching action. It's possible your belt is old enough to have worn the fabric wrapping off as someone stated above.
Good advice horsepen.
Wrapped belts are good for more horsepower. They are often referred to as OPE belts. The rubbers ones from the hardware store are for "fractional horsepower" applications though they will sometime work in a pinch (while you wait to the OPE belt to arrive).

Obama regime's Hilda Solis joins American Nazi Party endorsed Occupy DC
With the American Nazi Party's endorsement today, the so called "Occupy Wall Street" movements have officially become everything the lame stream media claimed that the Tea Party was. Ironic isn't it? So why doesn't it surprise me that Obama regime cabinet members like broom Hilda Solis joined the Occupy DC movement to speak today. According to Jammie Wearing Fool, Obama's Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, offered her support to the Nazi supported crowd. Even resist we much Al Sharpton was there, proclaiming "No justice? No peace!" as the crowd shouted along with him, over and over.

There were also House Democrat members there such as Eleanor Holmes Norton and Georgia Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.). Even the nutty Ralph Nader was there. Quite the collection. I'm sure the Nazis are proud.

Differentiated Instruction Allows Students to Succeed
One of the hardest things for a teacher to do is to treat students differently. It goes against our very nature. We are programmed to treat each child the same as we would treat any other child. No child deserves special privilege, nor does any child deserve less attention -- regardless of race, gender or academic ability.
It grates on our nerves when that know-it-all student who always sits in the front row always demands time to show off. It frustrates us to no end when the student in the back of the class makes rude noises and refuses to stay on task.
Making Decisions
Which students miss out most? It is the student in the middle who doesn't cause problems, who obeys, conforms, and never demands attention. We rarely give her the time of day in our race to take care of the extremes.
I had one of those students in my classroom. He was in my intermediate Spanish class and always sat in the middle. He never said a lot, and he did his work quietly. He wasn't the best in the classroom, and he wasn't the worst. I remember that he did struggle with rolling his rs. One day, he didn't come to class, and we got word that he had committed suicide. Not that I could have done anything to prevent this, but you always have the nagging doubt that perhaps you could have made a difference. In that moment, I vowed to never assume the quiet ones were OK.
Yet even with that, we are pressured to give the students with more needs more attention than those students who have less needs. The largest conflict about differentiated instruction boils up inside of us when we try to assign a grade to that differentiated instruction.
How can we justifiably give the students the same grade when the quality, quantity, or content of the performance is different? I have yet to read a truly compelling argument to answer that question. Most people mumble something about grades being a relative measure of student performance and designed for communication of progress only.
So, this is my attempt to make sense of this dilemma and perhaps calm a few nervous hearts in the process. In my prior post, I discussed the idea of intrinsic differentiation and the role of active learning and active teaching. Now, I want to discuss designed differentiation a bit.
Meeting Students Where They Are
Designed differentiation is the deliberate act of modifying instruction or an assignment in order to customize the effect to match the particular developmental level and skills of a student or group of students. The ideal is to provide equivalent learning activities that cater to the students' strengths but bring all of the students to the same learning objective. On one end of the spectrum is the one-size-fits-all learning activity, while on the other end is the completely individualized learning plan for each student. Although I believe it is time for the latter, realism demands that teachers deal with something that hovers around the middle of the continuum.
The best teachers throughout time have always found ways to reach individual students. Teachers today are no different. We have all sorts of designed differentiation strategies that help teachers offer variety and choice to students of different skills and needs. We can
- vary the length or quantity of the assignment.
- extend or curtail the duration of the assignment.
- change the language of the assignment.
- scaffold the learning activity from hard to medium to easy.
- compact the activity and teach only what they don't know.
- give them learning activities that let them perform the same learning objective with multiple mediums like summarizing a story they have read through narrative, drama, song, poetry, art, or design.
Allow for Do-Overs
There is also a strong movement of simply allowing students to work at their own pace through computer-aided instruction, or SRA-type curriculum. There is one more type of designed differentiation method I believe is underutilized -- the rough draft.
When a student is given a learning assignment to turn in, is it really a learning assignment if they have only one chance at meeting the mastery-level standard? Clearly identified standards of performance are necessary to make this work, but when a student submits a substandard piece of work, rather than assign a grade immediately, we can provide personalized, individual feedback to that student, which includes providing suggestions for improvement and giving it back to the student for revision.
Is there a limit to the number of times this can be done to help a student overcome a particular learning obstacle? Some students might be able to do it right the first time, while others need several revisions. This strategy is the ultimate in designed differentiation.
Typically, we see this kind of opportunity only in English and social studies classes. Why not math and science? After all, if the student eventually gets the concept, isn't that what counts? The thing I like about this approach is that no student is left out -- not even the quiet, no-problem kids.
What are your successes with designed differentiation? What are your challenges? Please share your thoughts.

It is my goal for all my students to successfully master the aspects of my course. However, time for students to do things over again is limited by the need to cover the material required for SOL's. Some subjects, such as chemistry required the constant building and addition to previous material that does not permit a lot of lag time before we add to the concepts. I have found that if other students have the assignment in there hands that those that have not completed the assignments or are given additonal time frequently copy someone else's work and gain no benefit by having the additional opportunity other than the grade. If more planning time was available alternate assignments that cover the same material could be given as an option.
I also have found that some students do not see the need to learn the material the first time around if they can get a do over. I am willing to work individually with any student that will come in for extra help but if they goof off in class and don't do their assigned work to begin with I don't feel they should be given unlimited chances. At some point, in the real world we don't continually get do overs.
I agree with the author about the importance of differentiated instruction and feel that most effective teachers already use some form of this technique without realizing it. You can not deny that for some students/classes instruction must be modified to help them understand or keep them engaged, but it is often difficult to remember to tailor instruction for the students who are not at either end of the spectrum. I feel it is the quiet, well-behaved students who sometimes suffer because of the focus on differentiating for the extremes in the classroom.
I agree with your ideas and understand the importance of mixing things up in the classroom, but sometimes feel there is not enough time in the class period or room in my curriculum to use all of the strategies necessary to truly differentiate the instruction. You are so right about understanding the background of the students and what the rest of the day is like for them outside of school- that can make all the difference when you are trying to reach a student who needs help.
So what is the solution? It is not ok for the top to fall so that the bottom can rise and we certainly can't leave a child behind, but the poor group in the middle really doesn't stand a chance.
J. Jackson:
The nice thing about being a teacher is that you get to make all sorts of decisions. Now if you have students that are abusing the system that you have set up, it doesn't make sense to keep the system static. Shake it up a bit. There are some easy, intrinsic ways to motivate students to 1) do their own work and 2) do their best job the first time. If we remember that any learning activity we ask students to do should provide opportunities for the student to acquire specific new knowledge and skills that align with our particular standard of learning, then we have a basis to start from. Kids know if it is busy work and they know when teachers are assigning grades or collecting the work just to raise the level of urgency to make them do it. So it helps if the learning activity, is authentic and relevant.
Here are some policy ideas that will help. The first draft can be worth 100%, second draft worth 89% (not an A), third draft is worth 79% etc... This helps them do their best on the first draft.
How do you keep them from copying someone else's paper? Although it is a pain to keep track of, it is fairly simple to do, you can give different versions of an activity on different colored paper. One nice thing about this is that once you show them you have caught on, every time you give them an assignment on different colored paper, they will assume each one is different, even if they aren't.
Now, none of the above will work, if you give them the learning activity, and then go sit behind your desk. You have to be monitoring, roaming and encouraging learning by proximity. You also need to enforce the rules of honesty and fairness. Students should get a zero on a paper and a parent conference if you find out they are cheating.
One other thing that you need to keep doing is to encourage the students to follow the learning cycle. Sometimes we as teachers, never spell out for the students exactly what they can do to learn anything. Show them how you design your lessons and why you ask them to do certain things. Students should be as familiar with the learning cycle as you are with the teaching cycle. Students are not simply vessels that we attempt fill up with knowledge and skills. They are active participants, and when students learn anything, it is because they felt a need to do actively do it.
Hopefully, this helps. There are many other creative ways to encourage students to want to learn on their own. Have fun discovering them!

Time is either your enemy or your best resource. The important thing to remember with time is "flexibility." I wrote a few bloggs earlier about how to use time in productive ways and how to reclaim normally wasted time, but all of the ideas revolve around our willingness to be sensitive to time and being willing to shift gears as necessary. The most important thing about time is how the students perceive that the teacher honors, values and utilizes time. A teacher must have a sense of urgency and transmute that to the students (not only is this important, but we need to do it as quickly as possible). If the students perceive that the teacher will not waste their time, then students will tend to not waste the teacher's time.
Sometimes in order to find more time, learning has to extend beyond the classroom's allotted time, especially if it involves re-learning.
As you stated, at the end of the day, sometimes we cannot do it all, we just do the best we can to hang in there.
Good luck!

I couldn't agree more that allowing "do-overs" keeps students motivated. I'm glad to know that I am not alone in this thought. I need to know that the students understood the concepts. By throwing the assignment away or giving a bad grade doesn't help the student learn! I never thought about "do-overs" as differentiated instruction! As a Language Arts teacher, my time is 'crunched' to get everything in and conference with each student as well as taking a solid amount of time for reading instruction. Sometimes, I do feel time is not on my side and I 'missed' a student one day or the next! Differentiated learning is so important to students' needs.
I am in total agreement. Students come into our class at different level and each ones success depends on the gain in knowledge from beginning to end of the school year. I have seen students make tremendous advances when they realized that I was trying to "catch them up" rather than teach from a point where they were uncomfortable. The grading system needs to be mended to reflect the advancement of the student not necessarily if they are able to complete homework or do well on tests. You can measure their improvement with other creative techniques.
As a high school teacher, one of the things I hear often from students is that some of their teachers do not care about them at all. I think a teacher using designed differentiation would minimize the number of students that would think this way. If it's clear the teacher is going out of his/her way to reach students with different learning styles it seems like they would get more effort in return.
The problem I see with designed differentiation is that students also need to work on their weaknesses to be successful down the road. If a student has trouble with auditory learning and all their teachers try to "reach" them by giving them the material in multiple mediums, they are never forced to work on their weakness. What will happen when that student has a college professor that gives tests based primarily on lectures? What about when they have a boss that gives oral instructions and does not write everything down? If we baby a weak auditory learner too much we will end up with a person that cannot even stop and ask for driving directions.
I agree with many of the issues presented in the previous conversations. I agree that differentiated learning is a great idea. I do admit that those who make the most noise are the students who receive the most attention. It is very difficult to ignore or quietly eliminate those attention getting behaviors and pay attention to those students who are quietly sitting in our classes and doing their work adequately. However, the time is not always available to give each student multiple attempts at an assignment. If we do give them multiple attempts, I do agree with the lowering the percentage of the grade in order to show students that doing the assignment correctly the first time is best. However, how do we determine who receives a second and third chance and who does not? Do all the students have the opportunity to redo their work, or only those with lower scores? What is considered a low score? Not allowing the student who scores a 99% on an assignment a chance to improve their score could definitely create an atmosphere of that is not fair.
I feel that a large part of our job is to teach our students "life skills," in other words, how to survive in the big world. I agree with Rob Culpepper when he presents the argument that creating activities that always focus on each student's strength does not allow them to improve their weakness. I do not feel the real world will be so kind. I think the true challenge is to create a learning environment that develops a sense of confidence in students that has them wanting to learn and do their best.

I am writing some interfaces but the way I have done it now seems to defeat the purpose of interfaces. The reason is that I need to first instantiate an instance of the implementation before I can use the interface, like so:
Interface interfaceName = new InterfaceImplementation(someRequiredValueForConstructor);
This doesn't make sense to me since I believe the point of an interface is that the user should not have to ever call the implementation, but it is necessary to do so with the way I have set them up right now. The interface is declared as an interface, and the implementation is declared as a class which implements the interface. How should I design my interfaces so that the use never has to directly use the implementation?

• Persuasion involves presenting arguments and supporting evidence to compel others to adopt a desired behavior—buying the security products and services. If a salesperson presents facts about burglaries, etc. and the customer finds this compelling and decides to purchase the system, this act constitutes one of persuasion.
• However, if a salesperson uses force ("I'm not leaving until you agree to buy this") or manipulation (deceiving a customer by signing them up for a free one month trial but not telling them that there are other costs or that if they don't cancel by the end of the period, they will be billed for any time thereafter), this would not be considered persuasion. Instead, this would be called coercion or manipulation. Persuasion "does not rob people of their ability to choose."

: Cagliari and Sampdoria drew 2-2 in a wild finish while Chievo Verona beat Udinese 2-1 in the Serie A on Saturday.
Cagliari was put in front by Swedish midfielder Albin Ekdal in the 26th minute. That was the lone goal until Manolo Gabbiadini equalised in the 89th when goalkeeper Michael Agazzi let the ball trickle through his legs. Daniele Conti restored Cagliari's lead in the first minute of added time with a splendid free kick and Gabbiadini scored again with a deflection two minutes later. In Verona, Maicosuel gave Udinese the lead in the opening minute and Chievo struck back through Sergio Pellissier and Luca Rigoni.
The results: Cagliari 2 (Ekdahl 26, Conti 90+1) drew with Sampdoria 2 (Gabbiadini 89, De Silvestri 90+3); Chievo 2 (Pellissier 13, Rigoni 40) bt Udinese 1 (Maicosuel 1). —AP
