Translate into Chinese Wiki[edit]
Hi, I just want to know how can I translate this article into Chinese Wiki? They don't have this article in Chinese.
Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxjiang000 (talk • contribs) 17:26, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
More detail about cleanup[edit]
AM (talk) 14:59, 14 July 2008 (UTC) Could someone please provide more detail as to what needs to be "cleaned up"? I'd be happy to do it, but not sure what's being referred to. There are links to sources for each of the spinoffs mentioned, back to the original Spinoff article. I can provide additional links to other NASA documents about those technologies, but I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for. Specific suggestions instead of just "citations needed" would be helpful.
AM (talk) 15:38, 11 July 2008 (UTC) If you aren't involved with Spinoff or NASA in some way, it would be great if you could discuss concerns here before making lots of changes. Thanks, everyone.
- The clean-up tag was added by me and mainly because of the use of external links. As a rule, external links should be added into separate "External links" section at the end of the article. Linking article text with external websites is not usually acceptable. For more information, please see WP:External links.
- Concerning citations, all articles require inline citations for direct quotes and for material that is likely to be challenged. Right no the article doesn't have correct inline references. Please see WP:Citing sources for more information. To create inline references, you could use special templates like Template:Citation or Template:Cite web.
- Third issue is related to the sources. The article lays mainly on the information from the NASA website. There is nothing wrong with using it, but articles need also third-party published sources. For this policy, please see WP:V.
- In general, I think this is a good article. Keep going. Beagel (talk) 16:34, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
AM (talk) 19:24, 14 July 2008 (UTC) Ok, thanks... but why were the computer tech titles removed? It's more confusing without the titles, in my opinion, as those were actually three separate software products, not one general section about computer tech spinoffs.
I provided the external links at the end of each technology to link to more details on the NASA spinoff page. I'll see what I can do in terms of reworking the links, but it seems more clear the way it is (rather than having superscript footnotes.) Still... I'll keep tweaking it.
It is not clear to me what the primary topic of the article is supposed to be: Spinoff, the journal? or NASA spinoffs? Should the article be split? Wednesday Next (talk) 20:53, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
That's a valid question. This particular page is really geared around both. It's hard to separate the two, because everything mentioned here is pretty much taken from the journal(s.) The Spinoff people and the Innovative Partnerships Program handle both the journal and issues related to spinoff technologies and products, so (in my opinion), they're pretty much inseperable. However, what I think might be a good idea is to create a page for the Innovative Partnerships Program (at NASA). That way, there can be a Spinoff page (which focuses just on the technologies, primarily, and the journal), and the IPP program, which is more wide-reaching (and addresses different programs that bring inventors and NASA together.) --AM (talk) 14:14, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Given the vague nature of the title for any onlooker, I'm assuming that this is more of a generalist article (although another could certainly by made specifically for SpinOff magazine, if that's desired, to avoid the same confusion, which I also had for a moment). I've added a few extra inventions using a 3rd party source, that seems to satisfy Beagel's editing request above for such, and waiting to see if a senior editor hacks up the additions before attempting to move this article beyond "Start" status. Qwidjib0 (talk) 19:05, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
In regard to the Goodyear concern below -- the list of spinoffs on the Wikipedia page are just abstracts. To get the details of the partnership between the companies and NASA and what made the product a spinoff, it's easy enough to click on the link and read the entire story. This Wikipedia article wasn't supposed to detail every single spinoff. It's just about what a NASA spinoff is, and gives 25 brief examples. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 16:41, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Topic, POV, and Notability concerns[edit]
In regard to the Goodyear concern below -- the list of spinoffs on the Wikipedia page are just abstracts. To get the details of the partnership between the companies and NASA and what made the product a spinoff, it's easy enough to click on the link and read the entire story. This Wikipedia article wasn't supposed to detail every single spinoff. It's just about what a NASA spinoff is, and gives 25 brief examples. If you want to know exactly how something qualifies to be a spinoff, the NASA spinoff pages probably are a good resource. There's a list of criteria somewhere. You don't just get to call your product a NASA spinoff because you feel like it... you have to have a clear NASA connection (including being a part of a NASA SBIR award or other technology transfer program, or have NASA engineers work on the design.)
Tang is not a NASA spinoff. Never was. It was just made popular by the fact John Glenn drank it at some point.
-signed Garza, 2/12/09
I have three issues with this article. First, I echo the above concerns about the topic of this article. The article appears to be about the journal, Spinoff. This should be made clear. Second, just because the journal claims something is a "spinoff", doesn't mean the technology actually is a spinoff. To imply otherwise in the absence of supporting evidence in a wikipedia article seems to violate NPOV. Keep in mind the criteria for inclusion as a spinoff as defined by the journal is very slight, the research just has to pick some NASA funding at some point in its development. There's no consideration of the amount of support, the state of development of the product (did these products ever get past the prototype stage?), or whether the product would be developed anyway in the absence of NASA funding. Once tainted by NASA funding, should everything that uses this development be termed a NASA spinoff? This is the kind of sloppiness you'd expect in a blog post not a wikipedia article.
Third, what makes these claims notable? Do they appear in other sources? Remember Spinoff is a NASA journal. Is there a more unbiased source for claims of being a spinoff? What makes them more noteworthy than spinoffs from other government agencies. For example, the US Department of Defense is probably by far the largest source of spinoffs in the US government. But it doesn't appear to me that there's wikipedia interest in discussing US DoD spinoffs.
Let's look at an example.
- Improved Radial Tires
- Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company developed a fibrous material, five times stronger than steel, for NASA to use in parachute shrouds to soft-land the Vikings on the Martian surface. The fiber's chain-like molecular structure gave it incredible strength in proportion to its weight. Recognizing the increased strength and durability of the material, Goodyear expanded the technology and went on to produce a new radial tire with a tread life expected to be 10,000 miles greater than conventional radials.
Ok, what's wrong here? First, NASA didn't actually help develope improved radial tires. They put an unknown quantity of money into Goodyear's R&D for a material that Goodyear then decided to use for other purposes. As I said before, I think the idea that one invention funded by NASA can "taint" other inventions to be absurd. Taken to the extreme, with enough time, every invention and discovery would have some NASA funding buried somewhere in its distant past and hence would be labeled a NASA spinoff. Second, since the discovery isn't put in context, we have no idea whether this material ever found its way into sold product. There's no indication how important this was. Finally, what make the improved radial tire worthy of inclusion in this article, but not other spinoffs from the 1976 journal?
How would I recommend improving this article? First, I don't see this article useful as is. Currently, we have a spotty list with unknown inclusion criteria and referenced only by a biased NASA source. Instead, I think we should start from scratch with a respectful definition of "NASA spinoff" and then discuss several general uses of the label. My take is that the key reason NASA spinoffs are discussed is in defense of a NASA project. There's got to be some high profile defenses of NASA using NASA spinoffs as the main argument.
Also, many marketers have used a remote connection to NASA as advertising for their product. Probably the best known example is Tang, a drink product. This is also the source of the term, "Tang effect" which originally was a derogatory label for the argument that NASA spinoffs are extremely valuable. Moving on, there are some common items that are routinely erroneously considered spinoffs, for example, computers, rockets, solar cells. But even so NASA is notable as an early adopter of these technologies.
It might be worthwhile to discuss seperately the spinoffs from NASA's aerospace research from the spinoffs for its space research. I gather the aerospace research tends to focus on a known aerospace need (for example, firefighting equipment and aircraft anti-icing systems) while space research tends to be more exploratory (funding development of artificial muscle systems, plant growth experiments in zero gee). Finally, this article really needs less biased sources. I don't mind NASA spinoffs as secondary reference material to help elaborate on the spinoffs themselves. But it should not, as is the case now, be the sole reference for the wikipedia article. -- KarlHallowell (talk) 03:06, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
- The quality of this article hasn't changed since I last looked. Honestly, I really don't know what to do about it. But some of it just doesn't belong at all.
- Land Mine Removal
- Thiokol Propulsion uses surplus rocket fuel from NASA to produce a flare, the Demining Device, that can safely destroy land mines and help NASA reduce propellant waste. The Demining Device flare uses a battery-triggered electric match to ignite and neutralize land mines; it uses solid rocket fuel to burn a hole in the mine's case and burn away the explosive contents so the mine can be disarmed without hazard.
- Thiokol is recycling rocket propellant that would otherwise be scrapped by NASA. NASA's input is merely agreeing to let Thiokol have the propellant. The flare would be produced anyway and is probably a DoD spinoff via the US Humanitarian Demining Research & Development Program. This is why I am deleting this spinoff. -- KarlHallowell (talk) 17:05, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Questionable Medical References[edit]
The LED section under Health seems to be New Age stuff that fails in so many ways to be article-worthy. However, there are a bunch of references backing it up, although they are mostly only found at the company's website. NASA does consider the company a "spin-off" company for LED work on functions UNRELATED to what the Warp 10 device does (i.e. they were contracted to build a light to illuminate--and ONLY to illuminate--a surgery in progress). Something in the LED section has to drastically change. FFLaguna (talk) 07:50, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
I cannot find any articles in the medical literature referring to the Warp 10 being clinically tested. Maybe it works, maybe not, but one cannot claim that it is a therapeutic device without clinical testing. Danwoodard (talk) 01:07, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
I cannot find any evidence to support the assertion in the intro that Robert Heinlein's carotid surgery used NASA technology. The reference is inaccessible and only an essay.Danwoodard (talk) 17:15, 17 March 2014 (UTC). I am not sure this paragraph should be retained int he article, certainly not in the introduction.
notability and sources[edit]
I'm having problems finding any reliable third party sources that demonstrate notability for anything in this article. A few more sources would go a long way to fixing many of the POV and OR problems with this article. I will continue to work on this but if anyone is interrested in working on this article, we need reliable third-party sources talking about technologies or inventions that NASA or the space program helped to create. Voiceofreason01 (talk) 15:22, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
In recent years, it seems like a lot of these lists have popped up. I'm attempting to add in of the most noteworthy (and yet missing) inventions a few of the more credible ones. It looks as if the actual NASA SpinOff magazine, quoted a number of times here, would be about as reliable as it gets though (and could be used to verify any additions that we feel need extra citations). From the sounds of it, SpinOff is comprehensive enough to make that pretty realistic. Qwidjib0 (talk) 18:54, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Year of introduction[edit]
Please write which year each technology was introduced because it is interesting to see how old the technology is and also important to avoid misunderstandings about an old technology being new. Soerfm (talk) 23:50, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Chemical detection?[edit]
I cannot find a single mention about the 'Chemical detection' topic in the cited source document. Not of the process, not of the company involved. I don't know if the information is true, but the citation appears to not back any of the claims. Gabbahead (talk) 11:18, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
Dead links[edit]
It appears that all of the Spinoff links may be dead links, rendering most of the references section useless unless overhauled. A quick check suggests those have been moved here? http://spinoff.nasa.gov/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 21:45, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Ok, I'm putting my neck on the line here and naming the most common pitfalls I have seen emerging talents fall into. In today's blog, I baldly name and shame what I would happily never encounter again:
- An entire chapter revolving around a character walking or driving from A-B alone, interspersed by long passages of back story.
- An entire chapter set around a character in bed/in nature/alone reminiscing.
- Melodramatic chapter cliff hangers. Your story is either engrossing or not. A pining character is not the answer.
- Making the same point in ten different ways –all on the same page.
- Belabouring the point. [See above]
- Describing objects/landscapes/surroundings in miniscule detail over countless pages. Poetry is a gift not a licence.
And I can say all this because, early on as a writer, I have been guilty of most of the above. Ok, who am I kidding? I have been guilty of all of the above at one time or another. And so, today, I invite you to kill off your darlings …

2009 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
So this is my very first Honda (owned Fords before this and will NEVER go back!) I love this vehicle. I am getting great gas mileage (about 38-40 mpg) with about 90% highway driving. Driving home from work I am relaxed and comfortable and the sound system is wonderful. Am able to plug in a USB (jump drive) and play music straight from it and switch between sources with the touch of a button. Also the space is great! The seats are easily adjusted and everything is just perfect! No blind spots at all. There is also an armrest which is a plus. This is also my first manual transmission and its easy as could be. I would recommend this car to anyone! Also love the panoramic view! AC is great too!

2009 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
I love the Fit. The mileage is amazing. I'm getting 32 mpg in the city and 40+ on the highways. This blows the EPA estimates out of the water (28/33). The gauges at night are beautiful. The MPG gauge really helps maximize fuel economy by showing current and average MPG at the same time. The paddle shifters are very cool and help maximize economy too. You can lock into 5th gear when cruising so the transmission never down shifts when going up hills. I just love this. This car's MPGs are right in line with my Yaris liftback that has nowhere near the room or features. The USB flash drive player is so very nice! Do yourself a favor and drive the '09 Fit Sport. You will LOVE IT!

I just bought my Fit yesterday and the whole family just love it! It is spacious and comfortable. I feel like I'm driving a sports car. It has a great sounding stereo and the air conditioner will just about freeze you out. I've had three new vehicles, but this one is my favorite by far.

This my first Honda purchase. The Fit is the absolute most fun you can have with 115 HP! No matter what speed you are going, there is always more "get up and go" when you need it. A high quality small car! Without the high price. If you are in the market for a fuel saver but also desire peppy performance with great utility this car is the only way to go. Bravo Honda!

I have been driving my new Fit for over one week and am thrilled with it! I also own a Civic and an Accord and I love my little Fit. It may appear "little" on the outside but the inside is huge. It handles and rides to perfection. It's a high quality vehicle and the gas economy meets and exceeds all expectations. I love the arm rest on the driver side and flexible cargo space in the back. It's got plenty of pick-up and the dashboard gauges and controls are very conveniently located. The 6 speaker Radio has great sound. Honda had a winner with the 2008 model and now they made it even better. What's not to like?

Have driven 500 miles in my '09 FIT (5A). Love the sport mode and shift paddles, but am settling into the Auto mode for higher MPG. Get 42 MPG on pure highway. 26-3 2MPG in mixed rather hilly driving. Seats and ride are nice & firm. Reasonably quiet on highway. Stereo and the Ipod connection are great. Luggage space and the 'magic' folding rear seats are truly amazing for this size car. Overall, I love the car - can't wait to start it up in the morning.

First car was a Honda way back in 1980 and now so is the new one. Traded in my 2002 Civic Coupe. Coupe felt like a car that got me places, Fit is fun. Only have less than 100 km on it, but can see I am going to enjoy this car.
Read the full review
I'm a Honda fan and had been looking at the Civic . I had seen the Fit from a distance and thought it was too small. When you really look at it seriously, you will become a believer in the Fit. It has plenty of power. You can drive in the high RPM with paddle shifter, but you will suffer on the MPG. It has all the power features. There are many seat configurations and are easy to adjust. I just got my first real mileage numbers in 75 highway/25city driving: 39 MPG and I wasn't trying to conserve fuel. Everyone in my family is enjoying driving the Fit.

My 09 Fit arrived over a week early. I've been driving it now for just over a week and I really like it. If you're looking for a really flexible vehicle that looks great (if you like its look), gets great mileage (better than it EPA rating) has sufficient power and is a very high- quality build, then, you'd better try to grab one. In the Portland area, you have to move fast to get one, though!

2009 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback w/Navigation (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Honda just keeps setting the bar on fun to drive, quality, intelligently designed automobiles. During these times of high gas prices, this car is truly the best alternative out there. I have driven the car for 600 miles in almost all city driving and have gotten 30 mpg. I have owned other cars that had the same or better EPA estimates that did not come close to this mileage (usually 25 mpg). With 2009 all models get telescopic a telescopic steering wheel that allows anyone a comfortable driving position. In the sport version you get a lot of nice extras. The ride is excellent in this vehicle. The balance between handling and comfort is perfect. The navi system is also excellent.

Hello and welcome to SaganMorrow.com! I'm Sagan, and I'm a professional lifestyle blogger and freelance editor / writer.
I began blogging about healthy living at Living Healthy in the Real World in February 2008. Over the years, my interests expanded, and I added two more blogs to the Living in the Real World brand: a communications blog at Living Rhetorically in the Real World, and a style and beauty blog at Living Fashionably in the Real World.
Seven years after my first foray into the blogging world, I rebranded Living in the Real World to what it is today: SaganMorrow.com.
SaganMorrow.com is a lifestyle blog featuring topics on food and fitness, style and beauty, writing and small business, and health and wellness.
Here at SaganMorrow.com, you'll find all of the original articles from my Living in the Real World blogs, as well as new ones updated every Monday—Thursday:
- Food & Fitness Mondays features recipes, product reviews, nutrition, fitness challenges, and favorite exercises.
- Style & Beauty Tuesdays features fashion ideas and how-to articles, outfit inspiration, and style and beauty tips.
- Writing & Business Wednesdays features writing and editing tips, productivity and organization hacks, insights on the freelance life, social media advice, and musings on being a home-based small business owner.
- Health, Home & Society Thursdays features topics on mental and emotional health, body image issues, ramblings on downtown urban living, social and environmental musings, general health and wellness, home owner tips, and personal growth anecdotes.
A little background about me…
I'm a 26-year-old home-based small business owner, and I create content, edit materials, and manage social media for clients. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Rhetoric, Writing, and Communication in 2010, and I received my diploma as a Certified Holistic Nutritionist in 2012. I love to learn and expand my knowledge base!
I currently live in downtown Winnipeg in an open-concept condo with my common-law husband, Mr. Science. I'm childless by choice, love big cities and all kinds of fitness activities, enjoy robust dry red wines and freshly-brewed Americanos, and adore delicious, high-quality food. I have terrible (or excellent, depending on how you look at it) taste in books and movies, and I enjoy socializing and spending time with great people (although I'm also an introvert, so I definitely value my alone-time!). I also have nightmare disorder and have dealt with anxiety and disordered eating in the past, so you'll occasionally see articles pop up on those topics.
You can find me hanging out online at my favorite social media spots, or you can connect with me directly by emailing me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I'd love to chat!

The government has filed a suit against Alabama's draconian anti-immigrant law, which it said conflicts with federal laws and makes it too easy for police to detain people suspected of being in the country illegally.
Modeled on Arizona's infamous SB 1070 but taking it to even greater extremes, the Alabama law is considered the most pernicious of a series of state anti-immigrant laws passed this year.
The Justice Department lawsuit filed Monday comes on the heels of a class-action challenge filed last month by the ACLU and a coalition of other civil rights organizations charging the law is unconstitutional on multiple grounds. On July 21, the coalition filed a request that the court block the law from taking effect, pending a final ruling on the law's constitutionality.
"The lawsuit will help protect the civil rights of Alabamians against legislation that mandates unlawful police searches and seizures in the name of immigration enforcement," said Cecilia Wang, director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project.
The ACLU and its partners contend the Alabama law:
"We welcome the federal government's effort to block Alabama's unconstitutional law," said Olivia Turner, executive director of the ACLU of Alabama. "We hope this law will be enjoined, just like the law in Arizona that inspired it."

Pruning Keitt mango trees
Hello all. I have about 12 Keitt mango trees, that are approximately 4 years old. I need a simple way of pruning the trees, to encourage flowering next January. Some of the trees are 16 feet tall, and have never blossomed
Yours are big enough to flower, so I have a question for you. Do you water them? The trick to getting mangoes to flower is to allow their roots to dry out. Mangoes are extremely drought tolerant and need a couple of months of dry before they will bloom.
I 'prune' by cutting out the center vertical in the late fall or winter, and leave 4 or 5 main branches spreading out. Not necessary until the trees are taller, but I prefer my trees to be 25' or less tall. And lower is better come harvest time.
This is a pic of a mango from my keitt this past summer. I planted the tree at the beginning of spring, the tree was four feet tall, and it bloomed nicely. I had several mangoes, this pic is the largest one. It was delicious and easily sliced because of the thin seed. I use mushroom compost, rabbit manure, chicken manure, and leaf compost. I would also like to mention that my Keitt is now starting to bloom and its December! I know the weather has been unusually warm the past couple of Weeks but I thought the tree wouldnt bloom again until around April or May. firstname.lastname@example.com

The name of the restaurant was The South Bay Seafood Grill and Broiler. It was demolished in 2012 after closing earlier that year. I used to work there while in school. Hands down they had the best bread and chicken fingers in town. Also awesome was their mozzarella sticks! Fun fact: there was no phone in the red phone booth. Also, it was entirely family owned and operated.

Historical Traveler Reviews Jurys Inn Southampton
I was made to feel welcomed. The staff were all brillant. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, Breakfast price was high but very enjoyable and good value Now the town well Shoppers delight, the 3 shopping centres are 5 min walk from the Inn.
Felt Like Home
From the moment the taxi pulled up to the hotel, I knew things were going to be good. This is a spanking brand new hotel, very modern and chic, built (I believe) only a few months ago...and it shows. Everything was clean, neat, and new. The lobby was very warm and inviting, and the staff could not have been more polite, friendly, and accommodating. Everyone was all smiles, and always made a point to say hello whenever passing by. And the location is conveniently nearby to many restaurants, bars, shops, and the big mall.
I was given a very comfortable corner room, but noticed the curtains did not completely close for some reason. I notified the front desk, expecting they'd simply fix it the next day as the room was otherwise perfect. But less than 5 minutes later, the hotel manager was at my door, and offered to move me to an upgraded room instead. They even bought me a bottle of my favorite wine at dinner. And all because of an easily fixed faulty curtain. Now THAT was customer service.
The new room was beyond comfortable. Everything simply pristine. Teapot (with varieties of tea), soft lighting, sofa, double pane windows, excellent hot shower, SkyTV, everything you'd want in a hotel room. There was even high speed internet access (a must for me these days). My only complaint was the internet was a bit pricey at 10 pounds per 24 hours, but it was necessary. I also liked the fact that housekeeping was available until the evening for later cleaning. The restaurant and bar were also great, as the food was impeccable. And the English Breakfast was one of the best I've had in Europe.
I stayed here for 12 nights on business, and it truly felt like home. This hotel is a model for how a hotel should be run, and how one should cater to its guests (take note other European hotels). I slept like a baby nightly, and if I'm ever in Southampton again, I can't imagine myself staying anywhere else!
Litl' old wine drinker
Well we arrived eventually around 5pm after problems at another hotel in Soton (see "Dolphin Hotel".
On entrance 5 receptionists all in a row with nothing to do, just stood their twiddling their thumbs. The one we were served by could not find our reservation made by "Dolphin Hotel" due to their ----up...... But eventually got a room.
Hotel situated on a busy roundabout in the middle of Southampton. Totally new.
Got into the room (twelth floor) looked out of the window and saw two "winos" asleep on the side of the road under the trees! Nice size room all amenities, but next morning...... Breakfast, buffet style, no eggs, had to wait, waited, and waited. Got sausages, got bacon, and beans, and toast and tea.......Waiting.
Still waiting now 15 minutes, chef appears with...... more sausages. Another guest says "eggs" chef looked and disappeared. Never saw him again........Went without eggs. Trouble is with all these Hotels they pay rubbish wages, employ all foreigners, and they cannot keep their "good staff". Yet they want �100+ per night, some just room only. plus �12 for breakfast......... Ridiculous. Go down the local supermarket breakfast �2.99.
Not value for money!
Did not have an enjoyable stay at this hotel, despite getting a �58 room.
Stayed on a Saturday night and the hotel was packed with rowdy youngsters who kept my girlfriend awake I think they were hosting some sort of prom.
The bed was a bit small probably just double sized rather than king sized.
The Check out took 45 minutes as everyone checked out on deadline at noon on the sunday - there was no express check out. We could not get in the lifts they were so busy and had to trek down the stairs with our bags.
There is no safe crossing to the hotel which is stuck in the middle of a very busy roundabout. The hotel does not have its own parking so everyone has to cross the busy road.
"Jurys Southampton" a hotel for all seasons
We stayed at Jurys for four days during the boat show,O.K we did pay over the odds because the show was in town and perhaps we were a little too critical but we were well pleased on our overall stay.This is a new hotel which is run by a young but well experienced team headed by PJ Kenny,all well appointed bedrooms which were serviced (properly)daily a well stocked bar which serves a great pint and offers a good bar menu and a mornig room offering probably the best breakfast this side of the pond on the downside the Carvery restaurant was very poor offering very little choice with not a great selection of wine either our complaint to the restaurant manager brought us the general manager and his assistant with their assurances of vast and rapid improvements which I have no doubt is already in place.I would recommend this hotel with impunity to anyone visiting the south of England.
Not very appealing!
We stayed here for one night and I can only describe it as ok! Reception staff were not the friendliest, a smile really doesn't cost anything!
The room was clean but had a distinct musty smell to it! Good location though, 10 mins to the shopping centre! Restaurants were a bit few and far between if you only want a short walk, we ate at a local chinese, really reccommend that!
Security needs to be tighter though, we were woken at 3am by a drunk trying to break down our door, not how I had pictured spending a quiet weekend! Then were kept awake by drunken people singing, clapping and running along the hallway!
Breakfast was ok, a good selection of cereal, cooked items and fruit. Orange juice was nasty!
Check out just summed the hotel staff's attitude up. We approached a member of reception to check out and was told "yeah its ok", didn't even ask if we had a nice stay!
Will not be back, we were really put off by the attitude of the staff!
We stayed at Jurys, Southampton for one night in August. You can certainly tell that it hasn't been open for very long, everything is in pristine condition.
We had a disabled room and it was huge, as was the bathroom. All very clean and tidy.
The bar in the hotel got very busy in the evening and had a good atmosphere. We had the breakfast buffet in the morning, which was good.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, giving good directions etc when asked.
The location is very good, just 10 minutes walk across the park and you are in the high street.
You can't go wrong for the price.
Nice Hotel - but security needs to be beefed up
I was awoken at 2.15am by two drunken louts trying to access my room with a dodgy key card. The Hotel bar closes at 1.30am - Are the two connected?
I reported the incident to management after breakfast. Their concern appeared to be insincere. I was told they have CCTV and security patrols.Management have not been back to me subsequently which is disappointing.
Squeaky clean and great value for money
I chose the hotel primarily for its location, being only 10 mintues walk from our Southampton office.
I was given a room on the 12th floor and was provided with lovely views of the river, plus a gentle breeze to cool the room down, after a hot day,
The rooms are comfortable, designed well and spotlessly clean, yet slightly basic. Saying that it contains everything you will need for a night's stay.
With an eye on cost savings and wanting to eliminate waste, they have toiletries in dispensers rather than small fiddly wasteful sachets.
I was also delighted to find a proper hair dryer in the bedroom, rather than one of those beige torture instruments you usually get in the bathroom with the hose that reaches burning point, rendering you with 3rd degree burns, that emits a futile puff of warm air - other hotels please take note!
The hotel feels very new and the bathroom was spotlessly clean, with a very powerful shower,
Breakfast was very good value, providing a buffet service with a good coffee machine, fresh fruit, warm toast (yes, warm toast in a hotel!) and a nice cooked breakfast option.
Check out was fast and efficient at peak time.
Overall a really pleasant small hotel chain, where you are looking for great value for money all round - Keep it up!
Fantastic - you must stay here
This is a brand new hotel in Southampton that is just great. Everything was perfect from the staff to the hotel bedrooms. I could only stay for 1 night but I will definately be back.

It downloads fine from RM fine and says it's installed, but when I boot into recovery, I get the "no command" message for like a second then the android stock recovery takes over. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong? This is really aggravating. I also tried uninstall and reinstall RM but CWM is still there but not booting. I followed all the installation instructions to the letter and it's not working.

Lenny Bruce was one of the precursors of social upheaval, and like most pioneers, he got clobbered for his foresight. Bob Fosse's remarkable film version of Julian Barry's legit play, Lenny, stars Dustin Hoffman in an outstanding performance.Production was photographed in black and white, lending not only a slight period influence but also capturing the grit and the sweat, as well as the private and public tortures of its principal character. Barry's excellent script takes the form of flashback, but with some partial flashforward scenes. Three key figures in Bruce's life – wife Valerie Perrine in a sensational performance, hardcharger mother Jan Miner in a beautiful characterization, and Stanley Beck in top form as Bruce's agent – are being tape-interviewed after his death by an unseen party, whose motives are never clear. 1974: Nominations: Best Picture, Director, Actor (Dustin Hoffman), Actress (Valerie Perrine), Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography

Apple: Developer Site Targeted In Security Attack, Still Down 112
from the protect-ya-neck dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
You don't deserve to work in IT, either.
Any hash, whether it be SWIFFT, VSH, SHA1, SHA256, the piece of crap called MD5, or whatever, is useless by itself. It has to be compared to either another hash, or some...get this...unencrypted data that is then fed through the hashing algorithm.
Sure, passwords are hashed. But you don't send a hashed password from your browser. You send the regular password, which is then hashed by the server, and the resulting hash is compared to the stored hash on the server. If they match, you're let in.
That means that the unencrypted password is in memory on the server, just as the GP stated.
Now, this may be completely moot, if the hack was simply an SQL injection, or the like, which only allows access to data in a database, but at this point we, and probably even Apple, has no way to guarantee that this is the only method that was used to break into the server(s). Most security vulnerabilities, on the other hand, can be used to obtain access to disk data, and also to potentially install malware, or access memory data. We don't have enough information from Apple to know that this was one of the very few classes of hacks like SQL injection that definitely cannot install malware. I suspect Apple doesn't know, either.
That means that the unencrypted password is in memory on the server, just as the GP stated.
But relating that back to a user id is another can of worms. And that's assuming that the hacker even had access to memory, or the passwords are even still in RAM. A server isn't going to want to keep that in memory for performance reasons alone.
We might be making judgements on IT skills in this thread, but the amount of CS skills are lacking.
In this case, you have to assume that data was taken. No "If ands or Buts about it". Data was taken.
I'd agree you have to assume that...
They just don't know what data.
A small point of phrasing, they do seem to know "what" was potentially taken at a meta level - names, addresses (physical and email), phone numbers. They just don't know what subset of user data (if any) was taken.
So each Apple developer has to assume that someone may have that data now... but as a developer I'm not really that concerned. It's pretty much data someone could have found via other means who looked at applications I am selling. Most developer accounts belong to companies that would have public email/physical addresses anyway.
Although the outage has been inconvenient, the upside of this is that the users of the system can be pretty sure Apple figured out the extent of possible damage, and also we can be pretty sure nothing else was hacked into in the meantime.
The timeframe seems pretty long but to me it seems like any site that has been hacked should, as a rule, probably go down until the site developers can be sure nothing else will be taken and holes are closed. Yet very few other sites do this, I'm sure to avoid irking customers...
Perhaps it's only really possible for a site like the Apple Developer website where the users can understand the technical reasons for closing a site until it is safe, but it seems like it's a better approach when possible.
It does make you wonder though just what they are fixing that takes this many days to get back on track.

Thanks to all , very useful suggestions. Well, wish we could have a separate search field for authors only. Also, there should be a separate page/tab for the list of authors we follow.
tansh said
This could help too – http://themeforest.net/user/authorname
+1 if you remember the name just do this
use this : site:http://themeforest.net/user/ " $counteryname "
The new search engine allows for this, there's no need for weird hacks anymore.

"Good thing this was part of a 2 for 1 credit deal."
This title completely turned me off of anything else by Brenda Joyce. It was a typical "bodice ripper" written with a juvenile voice. The synopsis looked promising, but I did more than just a little bit of eye rolling as I suffered through the performance. The characters are one-dementional, and the situations the author puts them in are laughable. Fans of the paranormal romance genre shouldn't waste time (or good brain cells) on this blather.

this room could have been better cleaned....i had to claen it myself
walmart was near
Unpleasant experience
check in went fine. The room was large and the bed comfortable but the room hadn't been cleaned real well. There were hairs on the floor in the bathroom and things all over the carpet and under the beds. After one trip to the bathroom, there
was no more toilet paper and we had to call the front desk for more. When I mentioned that the room was not clean, the front desk girl became very unfriendly and uncooperative. I had asked to pay with cash but she hurridly put my debit card through, then said she would reverse it and let me pay cash. It has been over a week now and I am still waiting for the money to be put back into my checking account. I called yesterday and the girl said to wait till Saturday and see if it shows up in my account. All in all, we were very dissatisfied and would not stay there again.
we ate at a good Mexican restaurant just down the street. I recommend it highly.

Apparently, the Red Sox pitchers are being accused of doctoring baseballs by Toronto announcers. The video is pretty suspicious IMO. You judge.
Chapman to the rotation!!!! Do it already!!!!
They could obviously be using something they're not supposed to use to help them grip the ball, but, if they were actually loading it, I have no idea how they'd be managing to fool their pitch f/x charts.

Pirates score one on a homer, then load the bases with no outs. I'll let you guess how that inning ended.
Anyone watching the Royals game? I think its been so long since KC had anyone watch, their announcers forgot how to call a game. Its like watching a Ben Stiller movie.
"well *pause* Sale is really throwing a lot of pitches in this inning. And when that happens *pause* you have to throw more pitches. He's already at 24."
A microcosm of this inning.

Good - pool was huge, definitely the highlight of the resort. although when i was swimming with my goggles i noticed a lot of moss underneath the pool which meant they havent been cleaning it properly.
- a lot of activities in the hotel
- staff were very friendly and always smiling. this was admirable. they also greeted you when you bump into them.
- buffet breakfast selection was not bad
Bad - we stayed at the old wing thus our rooms were dated. crying for a renovation.
- the exterior of the old wing looks really old and dated and looks misplaced beside the new wing. they should also get rid of that harris resort sign on top of the hotel which is so very outdated.
- naturally as the hotel was old, the hallways and the rooms smelled a bit funky.
- very far from anything. you have to take taxi or the hotel shuttle to nagoya shopping center. this was really an inconvenience although the taxi fare wasnt really that expensive especially if there are 3 or 4 of you taking the cab. from sekupang terminal to harris resort, it's 80,000 rupiah. from harris resort to nagoya, it's 130,000 rupiyah.
We only stayed over the weekend at the hotel so my review above is based on our short stay. on the way back to singapore we took the ferry from batam center instead of sekupang as we went back to nagoya after checking out. the crowd at the departure hall in batam center was ridiculous. so many people probably because a lot of people usually spend the weekend in batam. the terminal couldnt accomodate. there were so many people that the guards turned off the x-ray machine or else it would further delay the queue. so you can imagine how this compromised their safety and inspection procedures.

Obtaining specific populations of cells from heterogenous samples is a major challenge in studying gene expression profiles of specific cell types. Laser capture microdissection (LCM), developed in a collaborative effort between the NIH and Arcturus, Inc. specifically to isolate cancer cells from normal tissue, can be used to separate individual cell types from within complex tissues. RNA can then be extracted from these microdissected cells to analyze their gene expression.
How LCM Works
LCM can capture cells or discrete morphological structures from thin tissue sections. Frozen, O.C.T.-embedded tissue sections are prepared for the LCM process by fixation, staining, and dehydration. Sections are visualized through a thermoplastic film attached to the bottom of a microfuge tube cap. A laser pulse is directed through the film onto the target cells. The plastic film melts onto the targeted area, then cools and bonds with the underlying cells. The film, along with the adhered target cells, is collected (Figure 1). RNA can be isolated from these captured cells for real-time PCR and mRNA expression profiling. (See our tips article Getting Intact RNA from LCM Samples.)
Capture and Analyses of Dentate Gyrus from Mouse Brain
LCM was used to separate dentate gyrus from mouse brain sections (Figure 1).
