Cologne Die Wohngemeinschaft
Facilities Map Streetview Reviews
Richard-Wagner-Str. 39
We're sorry we do not accomodate persons younger than 21 nor groups of more than 6 persons.
Note: It is the responsibility of the hotel chain and/or the individual property to ensure the accuracy of the photos displayed. Travellerspoint is not responsible for any inaccuracies in the photos.
We're sorry we do not accomodate persons younger than 21 nor groups of more than 6 persons.
Welcome to the hostel die wohngemeinschaft.
The hostel for special live-in experiences in Cologne`s creative center, the Belgisches Viertel. Feel like you`re at home in one of our 16 rooms, which are unmistakably unique and full of charming details.
The Wohngemeinschaft isn`t just a hostel but also a cafe-bar as well as a theater. We are conveniently located amongst other Bars, Clubs, Restaurants, small shops, Galleries, Theaters and much more. Even native Cologne-ites will envy your good times.
Whatever your heart desires, you`re in the right place!
Stay with us for as long as you`d like...
Make yourself at home in one of our eight rooms. Each one has its own character and charm. You can choose between the glitz and excitement of Bollywood cinema, the austere beauty of a cabin in the woods, the adventure of a boat-bed, amber-bejeweled decadence fit for a princess, the anticipation of the theater`s red curtain, the innerworkings of a poet`s psyche, a stylish photo studio, a 60`s mod chill pad and many more.
We offer two-, three- and four-bed rooms, as well as a dormitory-style accommodation. This accommodation has extra wide (140 cm) beds, as well as curtains and lockers for your privacy and belongings. The hostel is located on the top floor of the same building as the Wohngemeinschaft bar. A spectacular view over the rooftops of the Belgisches Viertel (Cologne's Belgian Quarter) awaits your arrival.
At the center of things: Stay in the heart of the Belgisches Viertel
The Belgisches Viertel (Belgian Quarter) is Cologne's hippest neighborhood. Full of boutique shops, cafes, clubs and restaurants, there is always something to see, buy, experience and enjoy on the neighborhood's many streets, plazas and meeting points. Use the Wohngemeinschaft as your starting point for exploring the entire city: take a walk to the Dom (Cologne's world-reknown cathedral), visit one of Cologne`s many museums or have a picnic in the park. Most of Cologne`s attractions are reachable by foot, and for those that aren`t, there is a fantastic public transportation system waiting just outside the door. For those inclined to a more participatory form a transportation, bikes and longboards are also available for our guests.
Cafe, Bar, Theatre: the Wohngemeinschaft is many things to many people...
In our cafe on the first floor, we will spoil you with delicious coffee and wonderful pastries. In the evening, the cafe is transformed into a bar and is one of the most popular places for people of all sorts to come, hang out and enjoy the relaxed, upbeat atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderful drinks, like our signature beer (WG-Braeu), South African Springbock or a Vodka-Melon cocktail. Daily-rotating DJs provide the perfect aural accompaniment to the evening`s festivities.
In our theater, we proudly offer a diverse program of concerts, readings, plays and films. The intimate venue is big enough to seat seventy and showcase both local acts, as well as international gems. The theater`s carefully curated offerings present a nice complement to the city`s diverse attractions.
For whatever you`re planning, the Wohngemeinschaft is the right place to start.
We're sorry we can`t accept bookings of persons younger than 21.

The location is pretty good. The breakfast was decent. The beds were very large and comfortable. The added privacy from the curtains was great. The storage lockers were also very large. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
It's a very cool hostel! Although it's quite far to go to the center from the hostel, the travelling is not a problem. And the stuff are very nice! This is the best hostel I've experienced!

You can use the Internet and have coffee for free.
There are huge beds and locker.

Laminate Flooring in Basement
I am finishing a room in the basement where I want to put laminate flooring. On top of the concrete, I will put landscape fabric, then Delta-FL, then the underlayment, then the laminate flooring. Several flooring places have told me that WilsonArt "Estate" series laminate flooring is one of the best, so I planned on using it. I also had planned on using "QuietWalk" underlayment as it seemed like a good value beyond basic underlayment. It also seems like its moisture transmission properties are perfectly suited for a basement. However, I just learned that the WilsonArt warranty would not be honored if I don't use WilsonArt branded underlayment.
So, now I'm stuck. I don't know whether to go ahead with my plans, knowing the warranty would be voided. Or, go with a WilsonArt underlayment. The reason I didn't like the WilsonArt underlayment is they only have 2 options: cheap "2-in-1" or expensive "acoustic". I'm also not convinced that a standard "2-in-1" is a good choice over the Delta-FL (since there would be 2 vapor barriers with foam in between).
Can anyone provide any advice here?
I bought and installed the Mannington Laminate flooring. Key reason - it is rated for below grade & it looks like real wood! It has beveled edges and embossed top. It is BEAUTIFUL. It was pretty easy to install. I went with Louisville Hickory (Revolutions Plank Collection).
Regrets - none yet. Hopefully I will never experience a flood.

The location is grate, but the neighborhood is noisy and dirty because of the Carmel market.
You can catch a free parking near the apartment, and it's great!
No wi fi in the apartment.
A hot water in a boiler is enough for 1 person.
Avigdor, Miriam's husband is very nice person.
Total: 7 from 10 points. 8 points cost upper than $150/day. I'm happy!
Отличный район, отзывчивая хозяйка. Мы не были особо впечатлены квартирой: холодно для зимы, не супер чисто. Есть все необходимое.
My family and I, at least 6 people included my 70 year old grandparents, stayed at the pastoral apartment in neve tzedek and we had a wonderful and great time.
The location was perfect, quiet and lovely. The apartment just meet the claim. The host was really friendly and reachable.
you will be always welcome :)
We were a group of six and had a nice time in the pastoral apartment in neve tsedek. It's a lovely location with quiet surroundings and noise tolerating neighbors. Everything is easy to reach from there.
We had mixed feelings about the apartment itself. It was not super-clean when we arrived and all the dishes were to dusty to be used right away. The dark apartment seemed very moist and the heater only warmed the gallery part of the flat properly. The kitchen is not equipped for bigger cooking sessions. Other aspects of the apartment were nice. The bathroom is in a very good condition and the whole apartment is arranged very well so you have enough space for many people.
The hosts were friendly, easy to reach and willing to help out with the small problems we had like bringing extra blankets and fixing the Internet and the lights.
I think it is a nice place when it's sunny and warm outside but has some problems in the winter with temperature and light, which are probably common in an original neve-tsedek house.
God, but modest appartment in Neve Tsedek district which has a village-like atmosphere. Beach is only 5 minutes away. A lot of nice cafes and shops are nearby.
On est arrivé très tard le soir, Miriam nous a reçus avec un grand sourire et a déjà pendant notre trajet de l´aéroport envoyé des sms avec des information nécessaire.
Il est vrai que le lieu est petit - mais on le voit sur les photos; ce que l´on devine c´est une atmosphère décontracte et individuelle et on ne s´est pas trompé; le lieu a même des secrets à découvrir comme par exemple un roof top inattendu avec des hamacks. Bon, il ne faut craindre le brique-à-braque; mais nous on aime cela. Ainsi que le désordre généreux du soukh qui déborde jusqu`à la porte.
Il y avait un grand calme, un silence précieux, une atmosphère de paix.
Bon la cuisine manquerait de passoirs ou de casseroles -- mais on devient inventif.
On y a passé quinze jours très beau - en plus on avait le droit de transformer l´endroit et y mettre une table à écrire - ce qui dépassait nos attentes.
Point de vue de finances c´était sympa aussi - tout était clair dès le début pas d´extras qui s´ajoutaient...
On s´est dit à une autre fois en amis.
Doris et Yoav
Communication about the exact address was poor. Miriam did not mention that there are 2 blocks of flats 3A and 3B. We ended up waiting for 45 minutes. Miriam's husband (when we finally met!) was very sweet and welcoming.
The flat was very spacious and comfortable.
Everything was clean except the floor which was very dusty.
The area is pleasant.
We were misled about the parking. Miriam wrote that she thought parking was not problematic. Parking is in fact very difficult - you cannot pay at meters on the street - only by registering with your mobile phone.

Someone Mention Totems???
Hope everyone is ready for Christmas . . . think I'm finally ready. Been busy filling holiday gift orders, but thought I'd share a few of my recent creations. It's still sunny and warm here in FL, so I can do this year round. Best wishes to everyone for a joyous and peaceful Christmas. God Bless!
Ah, Mary, these are very beautiful & will make wonderful gifts! I'm partial to the bluebird! Happy that you can keep "totem-ing" thru the Winter! Merry Christmas to you, too! Jeanne S.
Lots of nice eye candy there. I really like the windmill 1 it would look so nice in my garden!! Glad you can continue making them in winter. It feels like winter here, I had wet feet for couple of hours this afternoon, don't remember it ever raining that hard before but I had mom's car & was trying to finish up for Christmas. Lot of flooding, but not real close to me. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! Jan
I can't decide which I like better! You always find the greatest pieces and know how to put them together. Hmmmm...I'm really liking the windmill! Oh but I love teapots! Wait, I like birdies too! *sigh* Great job on all of them! Have a wonderful Christmas in the land of sunshine!
Thanks everyone. The windmill totem stake was a winner. This was a piece that I consigned at a local garden shop and it sold the day I consigned it!! The blue bird was a gift for a friend and she's in love with it. Trying to come up with new ideas for 2011. Any suggestions friends??
I love your totems. I especially favor the little blue bird! He is just so cute. I can see one like that sitting in my garden!!!! Gives me an idea what to look for so I can be a copycat for spring. Hope you don't mind. All of your totems are really nice, I especially love the colors you choose, they coordinate very well together. Hope your New Year is a very full and happy one for you. Keep junking! Thank you for sharing photos of your creations. They are inspirations for us.
Thanks friends. azcactusflower I don't mind at all if you find one you like to copy. Enjoy!!! missmshell, the only ones I ship (so far) are the garden stakes. The regular totems (like the black, white & red) would cost too much to ship due to weight. The stake ones ship nicely in a box with peanuts and lots of bubble wrap. The large ones have been sold locally. Can't wait to see everyone's 2011 plans come to life. Happy 2011!!!
Thanks noncook for responding to crazyone. Keep in mind that each vase opening will be a different size. Sometimes I just take the piece to Home Depot to get the correct fit. I'm using copper poles right now. Precut they're only about $4 a piece. They'll even cut them for you if you want a larger pole. Good luck!
Love the totems- thanks for telling me how to put them on a post I have only made a few and I used a plate and to put them on and drilled holes so they could be staked down- love the pole better so will hubby (he drills the hole in the glass plates which can be tough sometimes!!)

In the run-up to this morning's oral arguments before the Supreme Court on the Environmental Protection Agency's rule to limit hazardous air pollutants from fossil-fueled power plants—and indeed throughout the oral arguments themselves—opponents repeatedly pointed out that the benefits of the rule in reducing mercury pollution were "only" between $4 million and $6 million. Putting aside the ethically problematic question of trying to put a dollars-and-cents value on achieving improved public health and environmental protection, it is worth pondering this number and what it reveals about the significant methodological flaws that are endemic to cost-benefit analysis. (For the record, this number is supposed to represent the "value" of lost earning potential of children that the rule would protect against IQ point degradations. Do you see what I mean about ethically problematic?)
Opponents of the rule claim that this $4-million figure is the only valid benefit estimation of the rule that the EPA should able to count in evaluating its mercury rule. In making this argument, their real beef is that the EPA has also counted the co-benefits of the rule—that is, benefits that the rule achieves as an incidental byproduct of what is really trying to achieve. In this case, EPA's rule is meant to address mercury and other "hazardous" air pollutants, but along the way would significantly reduce particulate matter and ozone, which are classified as- "non-hazardous" air pollutants, but are still known by scientists to cause a host of environmental and public health problems.Full text
When it comes to public safeguards, industry never wants to talk about keeping people healthy and protecting the environment; they'd much rather have a conversation about how safeguards will cut into their profits — the costs in the cost-benefit equation. Even on matters where Congress, by statute, has made the discussion of regulatory costs legally irrelevant or a matter of only secondary importance, you can rest assured that industry will still be there talking exclusively about costs. That is largely what is at issue in Michigan v. Environmental Protection Agency, which is being argued today before the U.S. Supreme Court—another attempt by polluting industries to inject discussions of costs where they don't belong.
But, for the EPA's rule to limit mercury and other toxic pollutants from fossil-fueled power plants, the subject of the case, perhaps the most critical issue is the regulatory benefits at stake, and how the fulfillment of those benefits has been on a circuitous journey that is now extending into its 25th year. You read that right. It has been a quarter of a century since Congress first directed the EPA to issue this rule. That's when it passed the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. As explained in a 2009 CPR white paper, the rule should have been completed by no later than 2000. This ongoing delay has come at a huge price for the public health. With every year that this rule has not been in effect, as many as 94,000 babies have been born in the United States with elevated blood mercury levels—levels high enough to leave them with irreversible brain damage—and as many as 231 children have suffered significant enough impairment of brain function to result in permanent mental retardation.
The fossil fuel industry no doubt wants to distract the public from contemplating the harmful health effects of its polluting activities; hence, it is trying to steer the conversation to regulatory costs in today's case. (The fact that these regulatory cost estimates are systematically overstated only provides them with further impetus on this score.) It might be a useful PR move from their perspective, but it is not a legal requirement under the relevant provision of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. Let's hope the Supreme Court will recognize this difference and reject industry's abhorrent attempt to further delay this already long overdue safeguard for protecting our children's health.Full text
Yesterday, the House Oversight Committee held a hearing on "Challenges Facing OIRA in Ensuring Transparency and Effective Rulemaking" that featured as its only witness the head of the White House's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Administrator Howard Shelanski. Given that regulations are a huge source of consternation on the Hill, and the prominent role that OIRA plays in the federal regulatory apparatus, oversight hearings involving OIRA always have the potential for fireworks. Despite this potential, these hearings—which take place once a year or so—tend to be pretty staid affairs with some mild grousing over a few key issues that are undoubtedly worthy of congressional attention—including the delays caused by OIRA's unacceptably long rule reviews and OIRA's semiannual tradition of issuing regulatory agendas behind schedule and/or at inconvenient times of the year (i.e., before major holidays). Yesterday's had all of this, but it had a few big surprises, too.Full text
In keeping with an apparent effort to hold an antiregulatory hearing on any and all days ending in "y," Congressional Republicans have teed up yet another humdinger for Monday, March 2. That's when the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Administrative law will take a closer look at three more antiregulatory bills that have been recycled from previous congresses, including the Responsibly and Professionally Invigorating Development Act of 2015 (RAPID Act), the Sunshine for Regulatory Decrees and Settlements Act of 2015 (SRDSA), and the Searching for and Cutting Regulations that are Unnecessarily Burdensome Act of 2015 (SCRUB Act). And by "take a closer look," I mean "recite tired free market platitudes en route to their predetermined conclusion that the passage of these three bills is the only way to prevent regulation-induced economic disaster."
Others and I have written about all three of the bills in the past, so there's no need to rehash all of the gory details here. But, in approaching the hearing, a few thoughts are worth keeping in mind on each of these absurd bills:
The SRDSA. Last week, I blogged about the SRDSA—a bill that its supporters claim is necessary to prevent so-called "sue and settle" agreements that lead to environmental regulations—to highlight how a recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report had thoroughly demolished the "sue and settle" myth. In fact, every claim made by the lead House and Senate sponsors of the SRDSA in their joint press release announcing the bill was directly refuted by the GAO. Hopefully, this GAO report will be discussed at great length on Monday. There is, however, a real "sue and settle" problem that is quite distinct from the fallacious one that congressional Republicans are constantly complaining about. This one involves industrial polluters urging conservative state governments to sue them for their environmental violations, as a means of forestalling citizen suits that seek to hold companies liable for the same environmental violations. The state dutifully steps in, blocks the citizen suit, and then settles with the company with a slap on the wrist. The most infamous example of this maneuver took place just before the Duke coal ash spill in North Carolina last year. Any guesses on whether the Republicans will bring that up on Monday?Full text
A clock hangs in Room 342 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building—the room where tomorrow at 10:00 am the Republican leadership of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee will convene its first antiregulatory circus hearing of the new Congress. Below that clock, the hearing will play out according to a now-familiar script: the Republican members will cite vague constituent concerns about the regulatory system harming their families and businesses; the three industry shills invited by the majority will rehash the same tired and unsubstantiated arguments about how regulations are a drain on the economy; and, by the hearing's end, a consensus will emerge among the Republican members and their hand-picked witnesses that drastic reforms of the regulatory system are in order. Along the way, hands will be wrung, fists will be pounded, and vitriol will be spewed. Something must be done, they'll exclaim. That something will assuredly involve more rulemaking procedures that would increase corporations' already tight grip on the rulemaking process and more lookback procedures for existing regulations that will tie up agencies in knots and waste their dwindling resources.
Meanwhile that clock in Room 342, the one looming just over the Republican members' heads, will keep ticking. Tick tick tick. As each second passes, the country's most pressing problems will remain unaddressed. We'll be no closer to securing funding for transportation infrastructure, which is due to run out in May. We'll be no closer to tackling the existential threat of global climate change or the stagnant wages that are holding back millions of American families. Most astonishingly of all for the members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, with each tick, we'll be one second closer to a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security set to take place this Friday when the agency's funding officially expires. Tick tick tick.
Frankly, the timing of this hearing couldn't be worse for the congressional Republicans who are singularly responsible for the unnecessary game of chicken with the Department of Homeland Security's funding. But, if they are going to go through with it, at least they should endeavor to not make it a complete waste of everyone's precious time.
The Republican committee members are right that the regulatory system is not functioning as well as it could, but their diagnosis of the problem—and the remedies they prescribe as a result—are grossly off the mark. Over the last 30-plus years, the rulemaking process has become increasingly captured by corporate interests that are intent on avoiding any public accountability, including through compliance with any regulatory safeguards they find inconvenient to their bottom line. For example, while the rulemaking process was intended to follow a pluralistic model in which agencies would develop new rules based on input from a variety of public stakeholders, industry has been able to leverage its superior resources to dominate these public input processes with the result of diluting and marginalizing the public's voice. While regulations are supposed to be grounded in the best available science, industry has succeeded in degrading the scientific method into something more reminiscent of "Calvinball," manufacturing uncertainty to suit its own ends by keeping the rules of the game in a constant state of flux.Full text
Last week, Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) continued the parade of anti-regulatory bills resurrected from past sessions of Congress by introducing in their respective chambers the Sunshine for Regulatory Decrees and Settlements Act of 2015 (SRDSA). While all of these anti-regulatory bills are categorically terrible, the SRDSA really needs to be singled out for special condemnation. After all, it is the only one of the lot that purports to take on a problem—so-called "sue and settle" litigation—that no less than the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has debunked as a myth. Nevertheless, Messrs. Collins and Grassley have pressed ahead with the bill—versions of which they introduced previously in 2013—despite the pressing real problems confronting their constituents and our country.Full text
At last, the Obama Administration is articulating a sense of urgency about moving vitally needed health and safty regulations through its pipeline. Here's Howard Shelanski, White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, in a Bloomberg BNA story this week:
"So we are working now, here in January of 2015, on getting priorities lined up, so that we do not find ourselves at some point in 2016 with really important policy priorities unexecuted," Shelanski said.
Later in the interview:
Still, the reason OIRA is working hard with agencies in early 2015 is so they can bring the most important rules through the process this year and finalize them sometime in early 2016, Shelanski said.
It's about time. Last November, CPR released an Issue Alert calling on the Obama Administration to seize the opportunity offered by its remaining time in office and complete a slate of 13 essential regulatory safeguards that would deliver long-lasting protections for public health, safety, and the environment. In particular, the Issue Alert urged the Administration to immediately begin taking steps toward charting a course for these and other safeguards that would ensure their completion "by no later than June 30, 2016," which would ensure that they are not swept up in any political riptides in the months leading up to the 2016 presidential elections and to otherwise insulate them against potential repeal under the Congressional Review Act.Full text
According to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs' (OIRA) records, the Department of Transportation submitted its draft final crude-by-rail safety rule for White House review late last week. OIRA's review of draft final rules represents the last hurdle in what can be a long and resource-intensive rulemaking process; just about any rule of consequence cannot take effect without OIRA's final approval. Once completed, the crude-by-rail rulemaking would help to avoid train derailments and crashes involving the more than 415,000 rail-carloads of flammable crude oil traveling across the United States each year, and to minimize the consequences of such catastrophes if and when they do occur. A recent CPR Issue Alert featured the rulemaking as among the essential 13 regulatory actions that the Obama Administration should commit to completing during its remaining time in office.
OIRA's centralized review can be a highly contentious and politically charged process, as it allows corporate interests to attack rules they find inconvenient behind closed doors out of the public view. A 2011 CPR White Paper found that industry lobbyists dominate these closed-door meetings, with 65 percent of the meetings' participants representing regulated industries. In these meetings, industry lobbyists typically find an audience—often made up of the conservative economists that comprise much of OIRA's staff as well as political operators from the West Wing—that is sympathetic to their pitch. This White Paper and other academic research has shown that industry dominance of the OIRA review process has its desired antiregulatory effect, resulting in rules being delayed, watered down, and sometimes blocked altogether.Full text
While meteorologists' recent doom-laden predictions of an apocalyptic blizzard hitting the mid-Atlantic may not have exactly panned out, I have a forecast that you can take to the bank: A large mass of conservative hot air has recently moved into the Washington, DC, region where it is now combining with a high pressure zone of intense industry lobbying. As a result, we can expect over the next several days a heavy downpour of bills aimed at eviscerating our nation's regulatory safety net with long-lasting, if not irreversible, damage to the public health, financial security, and the environment. The powerful corporate interests that find compliance with these safeguards to be inconvenient to their bottom lines, however, stand to reap a windfall from this storm if any of these bills are enacted into law.
I have already highlighted one of these bills—the Small Business Regulatory Flexibility Improvements Act (SBRFIA)—in this space earlier. As I explained there, the bill—which the House Judiciary Committee marked up today without the benefit of a formal background hearings—would further entrench big businesses' control over rulemaking institutions and procedures that are ostensibly intended to help small businesses participate more effectively in the development of new regulations. As it stands now, the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Office of Advocacy already wastes taxpayer money by working on behalf of powerful corporate interests to block or delay regulatory safeguards to the detriment of both small businesses and the general public.
But the antiregulatory members of Congress aren't stopping there. They have several other bills teed up that are similarly aimed at weakening the ability of regulatory agencies—such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau—from carrying out their statutory missions of protecting the public.Full text
Just as The Sixth Sense makes more sense when you realize that Bruce Willis's character has been dead the whole time, the Small Business Regulatory Flexibility Improvements Act (SBRFIA)—the latest antiregulatory bill being championed by antiregulatory members of the House of Representatives—makes more sense when you realize that it has nothing to do with helping small businesses at all. Rather, it's all about helping powerful corporate interests increase their profits at the expense of public health, safety, and the environment. The twist ending to this nightmare of a bill is that real small businesses—the very entities the bill's sponsors claim to be helping—are left in a worse position than if the bill were never enacted at all.
Conservative members of Congress have long pretended to care about small businesses—at least, insofar as it helps advance their broader antigovernment campaign. To this end, these lawmakers have succeeded in building a complex legal apparatus that purports to strengthen the voice of small businesses in the rulemaking process. Under a series of laws starting with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, agencies must undertake various analyses of their rules' impacts on small businesses, and their compliance with these requirements is overseen by a powerful agency known as the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Office of Advocacy. As first detailed in a 2013 CPR white paper, however, the dirty secret behind this Potemkin's village is that these institutions serve the interests of the large corporations that already dominate the rulemaking process to the exclusion of both small businesses and public interest advocates.Full text

(Truex) "The All-Star Race is one of the funnest events of the year and to not be a part of it is pretty miserable."
The last slot is decided by the fans. Truex, who won the fan vote in 2005, says with competition from newcomers like Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Danica Patrick:
(Truex) "My odds are not very good with Danica being in there."
Michael Waltrip Racing fires crew member Lee Dodson, after he failed a random drug test. Dodson had joined Waltrip Racing this year and had been working on the car of Clint Bowyer.
And North Carolina police have a warrant for the arrest of driver Mike Harmon. Wanted in connection with the theft of a hauler worth over a quarter million dollars from driver and owner Jennifer Jo Cobb.

Dream Decoder
"Dreams don't happen to us, we happen to them," says Edinburgh-based dream psychologist Ian Wallace, author of The Top 100 Dreams. In other words, we're the director, star, and producer of all the movies that play inside our heads after we fall asleep (in fact, we create about five 15- to 40-minute dreams per night). But it's not just for our own entertainment. "In dreams, new information is combined with old information of the person's life in a creative way so that new solutions might emerge," says researcher Michael Schredl, Ph.D., from the Central Institute of Mental Health sleep laboratory in Germany. If you want to make sense of your own dreams, first put paper and pencil on your nightstand, and write down what you dreamed about when you first wake up, Schredl advises. Then compare notes with this list of 10 common dreams, what they mean, and what to do about them. It's about to get straight-up Inception in here.

10. Being Late
The Dream: You thought you had plenty of time to hit your deadline, make your meeting, or get to your date. But now you're supposed to be across town in 15 minutes and everything is going wrong. The alarm didn't go off. Your phone is ringing. Traffic's a bitch.
What it Means: Whatever you're rushing to in your subconscious represents a real-life goal or milestone, Wallace says. There is likely an actual deadline looming or maybe an arbitrary one (like having a certain salary by the age of 30 or 40), and it's stressing you out big time.
To Do: Ask yourself: In the waking world, are you being proactive—or reactive? There may be changes that have distracted from your original goals in life, according to Wallace. Now is the time to commit. Once you start to focus, you'll control your own time, dictate a schedule, and get to where you really want to be. Try an accountability partner: A recent study from clinical psychologist Gail Matthews, Ph.D. showed that people who write down their goals, share them with others, and send progress updates to that friend are 33% more successful in hitting their goals than those who don't.
9. Finding an Unused Room
The Dream: You're walking through a house, maybe the one you grew up in. Normally, you'd know every square inch of that place—but you soon find a door you've never seen before. Behind it is an empty room.
What it Means: Home is the most frequently occurring symbol in dreams. It actually represents the Self, and each room reflects a different aspect of your personality (sociability, strength, sexual prowess). When you find an unused room, you are discovering an aspect of your identity that you may be stifling, according to Wallace—it could even be an untapped talent or passion. The bigger the room you find, the bigger the opportunity you may have to realize your full potential.
To Do: If you're frequently having these dreams, doors should be opening up for you in your real life. First, you must identify them. According to research from leading economist Israel Meir Kirzner, Ph.D, opportunity recognition is central to all entrepreneurial success. Stay open to things you would otherwise be hesitant to explore, says Wallace, who cites the Corridor Principle of economics: Starting one venture allows you to recognize other opportunities you couldn't have imagined or taken advantage of otherwise.

8. Out of Control Vehicle
The Dream: You're barreling down a road, over sidewalks, and screaming like a baby. You hit the brakes, turn the steering wheel, but still have no control of the car. Crap.
What it Means: In dreams, vehicles represent an ability to move toward a goal or destination. And if the car is out of control, your life probably is, too, suggests Schredl. You're afraid that a wreck is imminent.
To Do: Just like you learned in Driver's Ed, overcorrecting only makes things worse. But it might be natural: MRI scans show that every time you do something—like worrying—you create new brain cells for that exact purpose in the future. Don't let worry cells overtake your brain. "Evaluate what areas you can take charge of in your current situation," Schredl advises. Calmly approach those details, and learn to stop fighting the ones that are beyond your control.
7. Falling
The Dream: You step off of a curb and fall flat on your face—or you take a nosedive right off a cliff. Either way, you usually jolt awake as soon as you hit the bottom.
What it Means: While the sensations may feel similar, these are actually two types of dreams, according to Wallace. The minor slip dream happens when you first fall asleep and have that last little twitch (called a myoclonic jerk) after your muscles completely relax. The second, more dramatic dream, happens when you're already in a deep sleep. This dream often reflects a perceived failure in your life or a realization that you don't have control over a situation.
To Do: Whatever type of fall you take in your subconscious, tension is to blame. And not to make you even more anxious, but 60 to 90% of doctor visits are related to stress or stress-related symptoms, according to the American Psychological Association. So relax. Do something you enjoy, spend time with friends, exercise more, or stretch before bed. People who exercise regularly have 20% less anxiety than those who don't exercise, according to a 2012 study from the University of Georgia. Also, it might be time to pinpoint what exactly is stressing you out and work toward solving it, Wallace says.
If some other bedroom activities are stressing you out, use The Men's Health & Women's Health Big Book of Sex to cure all your sexual ills and satisfy her tonight.
6. Flying
The Dream: Whether you're soaring on your own or in an aircraft, your head is literally in the clouds. Even Superman would be jealous.
What it Means: Just like in your dream, you've most likely surmounted a big obstacle in your life, according to Wallace. At this moment, you may feel free of limitations, and open to making unfettered decisions.
To Do: "Look for other opportunities on the horizon," Wallace says. The best time to make a move is when you're feeling confident from recent accomplishments. After all, having an expectation that you will succeed is the strongest predictor of achievement, according to research from the University of Florida.
5. Unprepared for an Exam
The Dream: You're back in school and it's time to get out the number-two pencil. Only problem is you've done absolutely no studying. Why? You're not quite sure. You knew about the test and bought the books—but now you're screwed.
What it Means: Are you a perfectionist? If this is a recurring dream (or nightmare), chances are you live in fear of messing up even things you're well prepared for, suggests Wallace. If you dream about flunking an exam you've already passed, this could reflect worries about performance, not actual competence, Schredl adds.
To Do: Give yourself a break or you'll always feel like a failure, advises Wallace, who notes perfectionists are more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression. What's more, perfectionists have 50% higher rates of early death, according to researchers from York University in Canada. It might be time for you to differentiate happiness from success, and start making the former your goal, rather than the latter.
4. Naked in Public
The Dream: You're naked—full frontal and everything. And while no one seems to notice, you're desperate to hide yourself.
What it Means: "You're feeling out-of-place, vulnerable, and scared of being exposed," Wallace says. But just like no one notices your package, your fears remain hidden as well. Perhaps your new job or relationship is making you uneasy. If the dream takes place in a classroom, it's possible that whatever you learned there continues to make you insecure. If the dream is in a cafeteria, this could reflect social anxiety, no matter how long you've been out of school.
To Do: It's time to let it all hang out—emotionally, that is. Give some thought to your insecurities and share them, Wallace advises. In the end, it's less exhausting than taking pains to make sure no one sees your inner turmoil. "With help, you might even find solutions to your problems," he says.
3. Unable to Find a Toilet
The Dream: After running around like a madman and waiting through one freakishly long line for the bathroom, you discover that the toilet you've been waiting on is filthy or exposed to the whole world—not to mention that there's not a scrap of toilet paper in sight.
What it Means: If you can't take care of business in your dream, it's possible that you're metaphorically blocked in waking life, Wallace suggests. You may have something you need to purge—whether it's a toxic friend or a soul-crushing job—and you fear it will be messy (cue the poop humor). So what do you do? Hold it in.
To Do: Learn to say "no" from time to time. Stop letting people dump all of their problems on you and look out for Number One. Research has linked people-pleasing tendencies to everything from weight-gain to depression. "You need to take care of your needs first and foremost," says Wallace.
One way to get unblocked is to check out Testosterone Transformation. In just weeks, you'll get the bionic biceps, six-pack abs, and explosive power that you can usually only dream about.
2. Teeth Falling Out
The Dream: It's like a scene out of a cheesy horror film—your teeth dangle, crumble, shatter, and leave you freaking the hell out.
What it Means: Teeth are symbols of power and confidence. After all, you show them when you are smiling, biting, or even snarling. Having this dream means that your self-assurance may have taken a hit in the kisser, says Wallace.
What You Should Do: Fake it till you make it, Wallace suggests. Studies show that mimicking confidence leads to the real thing. For example, research by Harvard social psychologist Amy Cuddy, Ph.D indicates that confident body language increases testosterone levels, which leads to higher feelings of confidence. Similarly, research from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University shows that if you dress to impress, you'll feel pretty darn good about yourself. Everyone loves a good placebo effect.
1. Being Chased
The Dream: Run as fast as you can. You still won't get away from whatever's on your tail, even if you don't have a clue what it is.
What it Means: Just like you can't seem to lose the bad guy behind you, chances are you're having trouble getting past some issues in your waking life. It could be a relationship squabble, a business opportunity, or just a nasty nagging feeling, according to Wallace.
What You Should Do: What are you avoiding? According to Schredl, this dream is often a representation of avoidance behavior, which is linked to psychological problems including anxiety and depression, according to a 2003 study published in Addictive Behaviors. By examining the issues you can't seem to shake—and are probably running from in the real world—you can address them head-on and eventually move past them.

I fully agree with the OP.
Every decent AP item comes with a whole bunch of other awesome effects whereas if you want DPS you firstly gotta save up $1850 for a bloody B.F. Sword which means you dont have any other items while saving up for it, and the only way to go is Life Steal or Crits with no other awesome effects like HP or Magic Resist or armor attached. Something like Sheen is a nice item to have because it makes your next hit do double damage but it gives you mana and ability power... WTH is with that.... Its an item that boosts your DPS but gives you mana and AP.... freakin fail item.
Also I think the B.F. Sword should be a combination of 2 smaller items. Like 2 pickaxes or something, because it takes friggin forever to save up for one and in the meantime you have nothing but with all the AP items you get little bits and pieces along the way which still help until you can buy the whole item...

Gakufu Camera: Camera Over Music Score Plays Sound
Gakufu Camera [J] (gakufu = music score) is an iPhone app released by music instrument vendor Kawai. The camera application lets you scan music score by camera, recognize musical notes in real-time, play the recognized notes.
("the world's first real-time music score recognition", as they claim. probably on smartphone I guess.)
The app can recognize not only printed score but handwritten ones.
Playing demo starts around 0:25 on the movie above. Personally, it is not what I imagined first when I saw the news. It seems almost impossible "to play" as you need to take correct timings, it gives you tones of the symbols but no length info. However, it may still good tool for people studying how to read scores.
The app costs 350 yen (US$5) at iTunes App Store, seems only in Japan at now.

Authentic Movement, Groups and Psychotherapy
Payne, Helen
Date: 2003
Citation: Payne , H 2003 , ' Authentic Movement, Groups and Psychotherapy ' Self and Society , vol 31 , no. 2 .
Authentic Movement is a newly emerging discipline of kinetic meditation through which the participant can learn to engage with a direct experience of herself, the group and the transpersonal. This is an experience beyond words and concepts. It can assist in developing body awareness, and body-mind-spirit connections. By gaining access and giving creative expression to inner worlds the invisible becomes visible or "authentic" as Californian founder Mary Starkes Whitehouse (1979) claims.

Apple Wins $625.5 Million Ruling Over Cover Flow 113
from the simple-twist-of-fate 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).
. . . Of money. A solid foundation of money.
Though Gelertner's patents were upheld by the court, Judge Davis threw out the $625.5 million damage award and closed the case in Apple's favor.
Isn't this like saying "Apple infringed on your patents, but they won't have to pay anything. Have a nice day."
"You have successfully convinced me you have a nice patent. You have not convinced me it has anything whatsoever to do with Apple, or VLM at
No, it's a step in the wrong direction. The precedent[1] set by this is that companies with a lot of lawyers are probably safe from patent trolls. Apple gets to keep being a cheerleader for software patents and to keep enforcing their software patents against other companies.
The best outcome would have been for this to have stood up. $625.5m is not a small amount of money, even to a company like Apple. A few more of these, and the patent system starts to be seen as a liability for big companies, rather than as a mechanism from keeping out smaller competition from entering the market.
[1] not in the legal sense
No uncorrupt judge could have made that verdict, therefore the judge is corrupt, therefore his findings are invalid.
FTFY. Why should we give any more credence to you, than you gave to the judge for using the same line of argument?
If the lawyer failed to make a solid case, but the jury were impressed, then the judge should step in as a course of duty. Sometimes proof differs from conviction, and arguments that impress a jury may be, in fact, riddled with holes. Say, for example, you were accused of paedophellia, and the prosecutor simply screemed at the jury rhetorical questions like, "Do you want a man like this near your kids?", or "How can we be sure he isn't going to rape your daughter?", and the jury convicted you on these grounds alone, would you not prefer that the judge point out that no case has been established?
As a final point (although at this point it's probably useless given the apparent void of any critical thought here on

"Just Read the book. The narrator ruins the story!"
I am going to get the ebook as I like the series very much. But I cannot honestly judge this book until I do Read it. Bad Bad Bad narration.
NO! I could not listen for more then 20 minutes. I have deleted the audio files from my computer it was so bad. It was very over emotional, over acted and over the top. Excellent way to ruin a story. As to calling it a performance? Well I guess you have to call it something. The guy is no storyteller!

CM 10.1 (Pandora not playing when paired over bluetooth)
CM 10.0 (Same bluetooth problem as above ^)
Hellkat (Same bluetooth problem as above ^)
CM 11 (Same bluetooth problem as above ^)
Since I cannot post in the post that these developments are happening, I cannot report these problems. Hence my post here.
Getting to the point, I was wondering if anyone know of a rom that has has the capability for bluetooth and a nice decent battery life for this nice galaxy s2.
ps. I know it's not my battery because the AOKP has a way better battery life than the other roms that I have tested.
Plus, this is a new ANKER 2200mAh so it should be lasting me a bit longer than the OEM battery.

The exclusion of "constituency records" from the right of public access in Ontario is not new but has garnered recent attention. On October 30th, the IPC held that a request for councillor records "discussing or tracking public opinion on specified issues" was not a request for records under the custody or control of a municipality. Adjudicator Liang held that, although the request was for records relating to matters within the municipality's mandate, given the municipality had not authorized the named councillors to consider or track public opinion, the request targeted constituency records – records made by the elected officials exclusively in their political capacity.
