Climate change threatens the world's glaciers, which is why scientists simulate them on computers. Based on mathematical models, these computer simulations help predict how glaciers are likely to change in the future, depending on environmental factors. The Aletsch glacier in Switzerland. But you can also run these simulations backwards in time, to see how a glacier behaved in the past. This is what a mathematician and a glaciologist have just done, not in order to understand glaciers, but in order to solve a mystery. In March 1926 four young men, three of whom were brothers, set off on a tour from the Aletsch glacier in Switzerland, the longest glacier in the Alps. They never returned. It's likely they got caught up in a blizzard that raged in the mountains for several days. Despite an extensive search their bodies could not be found and nobody knew where on their trip they met their end. Eighty-six years later, in the summer of 2012, two English alpinists found the remains of the three brothers and some of their equipment. The mathematician Guillaume Jouvet of Freie Universität Berlin and the glaciologist Martin Funk of the ETH in Zürich realised that they could use a computer model of glaciers, which Jouvet had developed during his PhD in 2012, to find out where the men had met their death. The model was the first to represent the three-dimensional flow of a glacier, including the velocity of the flow beneath its surface. Starting from the place the men's bones were found, the scientists simulated the evolution of the glacier backwards in time. They found that the bodies probably moved by around 10.5km in the 86 years since they had been swallowed by the ice, at an average speed of 122 meters per year. In 1980 they were buried some 250m below the surface of the ice. And the place of the men's demise could be narrowed down to an area of 1600m by 300m. Jouvet and Funk hope that they can solve other glacial mysteries using their method. For example, in 1964 a plane carrying US military crashed on the Gauli glacier in Switzerland. Crew and passengers could be rescued, but the plane disappeared in the ice without a trace. Using their model, Juvet and Funk hope to predict when and where it will be released from the ice. And who knows what other icy stories their model will reveal in the future. Jouvet and Funk's work on the young men who died in 1926 has been published in the Journal of Glaciology.

It might be grey and raining outside, but inside the Museum of London and Barnard's Inn Hall, Gresham College have some fascinating lectures planned to brighten the darkest day! First up Caroline Crawford will explore the lives of stars on Wednesday 5 February at 1pm at the Museum of London, how they are born, evolve over billions of years and dramatically burn, revealing clues to our own origins. It seems Hollywood isn't the only place where the stars crash and burn. Prince Charming? Or just a slimy toad? And surely the best way to cheer up a dreary day is to fall in love. Tony Mann will explain the mechanics of computer dating and how maths can help us find our heart's desire (or at least a charming dinner companion) in Finding stable matches: the mathematics of computer dating on Monday 17 February at 6pm, at Barnard's Inn Hall. And if you are using a coin to decide whether to get out of bed or stay under the duvet, you need to hear what Raymond Flood has to say about Probability and its limits on Tuesday 18 February at 1pm at the Museum of London. He'll explain why we know a coin will come up heads roughly half the time over many tosses, but we can't tell you whether yours will land heads or tails tomorrow morning. If it lands heads and you make it to his lecture, you'll find out much more! There's no need to register for these free public events, just come a bit early to get a seat. You can find out about all the other fascinating talks on the Gresham College website and you can get in the mood by reading about astronomy, dating and probability on Plus. |

Vending machines that don't return change are annoying, especially if the prices they demand aren't nice round figures you can make up with a single coin. If that's the case, then there's nothing but to cram through your wallet, fishing out the right coins to make up the amount exactly. What's the best way of doing that? Without noticing many of us probably follow this recipe: find the biggest (as in largest denomination) coin that fits into the amount, then the next-biggest that fits into the remainder, and so on, until you (hopefully) hit the required sum. As an example, if you're being asked for 85p, you probably fish a 50p coin out first, then a 20p coin, then a 10p coin, and finally a 5p coin. And what if you haven't got all of the coins just mentioned in your wallet? In that case you follow the same recipe using what you've got. This greedy recipe (greedy because you always go for the biggest coin that fits) seems to offer the best solution in that it seems to involve the fewest number of coins to make up the amount you need. For example, supposing you do have a 20p coin, but decide to go for two 10p coins instead, you increase the number of coins to make up 85p from four to five. So the greedy algorithm seems useful, not just for people struggling with vending machines, but also for cashiers returning change to customers. But is greed really always the best option? It turns out that this depends on the coins that are available. Imagine, for example, you need to make up 8p. Greed would tell you to go for a 5p coin, then a 2p coin and then a 1p coin. And that's indeed the smallest number of coins to make up 8p with if you are using Pound Sterling, Euros, US Dollars, and most other currencies. But now imagine a currency that in addition to these denominations also has a 4p coin. Then you could make up 8p with two of those, beating the greedy strategy by one. Such a currency system might seem silly but it's not unheard-of: the pre-decimal British coinage system was one for which the greedy recipe failed when it came to minimising the number of coins needed to make up a given amount.

Santa's just putting his hat on and button up his jolly red coat when an exasperated elf runs up to him: "Santa! We've got a problem! There have been so many good children this year we can't put all the presents into your sleigh!" The problem is that Santa's sleigh has a weight limit, and can only carry 2 tonnes of present. Each present has a different weight, and each present has a different star value too: a star for each good deed of the toy's recipient. Santa obviously wants to reward as many good deeds as possible, maximising the total star value of the presents in the sleigh. But he can't exceed the maximal weight or those presents are going nowhere! So which should he put in his sleigh? The elves start out trying all different combinations of presents to find the best one. This would have been fine if there only were a few items, but they quickly realise it is totally impractical when you have millions of presents to deal with. If they carry on this way Christmas Eve will have long passed and no presents at all will be delivered! Such a brute force solution is unacceptable, and not only to the elves and Santa. Mathematicians would also find this an unacceptable approach, and ask whether there is an algorithm – a recipe for finding a solution – which works for any number of items, and so that the time it takes to complete the algorithm grows with the number of items in a reasonable, non-explosive fashion. Mathematicians have a clear definition of "reasonable and non- explosive" in this context: the time it takes to complete the algorithm should grow with the number N of items no faster than the polynomial N to the power of K, for some integer K, grows with N. That's still pretty rapid growth, especially if K is large, but at least it's not exponential. So does such a polynomial time algorithm exist for our problem? The answer is that nobody knows - not yet - though most mathematicians believe that there isn't. In fact, if you can prove or disprove that a polynomial time algorithm exists you will have answered the question behind door #22 too, as they both can be turned into NP complete problems. Optimisation problems such as this one, which is known as the knapsack problem, crop up in real life all the time. Thankfully Santa is well read in mathematical literature and knows an algorithm they can use that won't take too long and, while it not give the very best combination of starred pressies, it will get sufficiently close. So rest assured, if you've been really, really good, your present is probably now packed on the sleigh, ready for the Santa's big delivery run. Merry Christmas!

When Kepler was decorating his Christmas tree you can be sure his Christmas baubles weren't boring and round. Oh no, we're sure they would have been beautiful and elliptical! Ah, the humble ellipse. It might look just like a squashed circle but it is so much more! One of the conic sections discovered by the ancient Greeks, it generalises the circle using eccentricity, a measure of how squashed it is. A circle is an ellipse with eccentricity zero, a very squashed nearly flat ellipse will have eccentricity close to one. An ellipse has two foci (points that lie within the ellipse), with the handy property that the sum of the distances from each focus to a point on the ellipse is equal to the ellipse's width. But not just a pretty shape, it turned out to be Kepler's answer to life, the universe and everything - he discovered that the heavenly bodies didn't move in circles, as had been thought for hundreds of years, but instead had elliptical orbits around the sun. Kepler tried to convince himself of the perfection of this design of the heavens by describing the interaction of nature with the heavens introducing a distortion to pull the motion from a perfect circle into an ellipse.

It's that time of the year again when Santa needs to think about how to deliver all those presents to the people on Earth. Unfortunately his reindeers are a bit weak this year, having suffered some severe bouts of flu, and he knows he can't ask them to travel more than a million kilometres in total. Is there a route around the Earth that visits all those cities, towns and villages he needs to visit, but is less than a million kilometres long? A bit tired this year. That, it turns out, is a very tricky question. One way of answering it would be to try out all different routes and work out their lengths. But since there are 7 billion people on Earth and he needs to visit every single dwelling that's totally unfeasible. It would take him until long after the Universe has ended to try all possible routes. Is there a clever algorithm Santa could use instead? Obviously, the time it will take any algorithm to answer the question will depend on the number of places that need visiting — the more places, the longer it takes. So the question is whether there's an algorithm for which the time taken grows in a manageable, non-explosive way as the number of places grows — it's what complexity theorists call a polynomial time algorithm. If Santa were to ask such a complexity theorist he would find out that the class of all problems that can be solved in polynomial time has a name: it's called P. Now Santa doesn't know if his problem of finding a route belongs to the class P. What's pretty obvious, though, is that if someone gave him a potential solution — a route they claim visits every place but is less than a million kilometres long — it would be easy to check whether that's true: he'd simply have to add up all the individual distances between places. A computer could do that quite easily. This means that Santa's problem belongs to a class of problems called NP. It consists of those problems for which potential answers can be checked in polynomial time, even though we might not know how to solve them from scratch in polynomial time. But now suppose that Santa has a brainwave. Sitting down with a computer he constructs a polynomial time algorithm that finds the kind of route he is after. He would then have shown that his problem is not only a member of the NP class, but also of the P class. Amazingly, it would also hand Santa a polynomial time algorithm for all other problems in the NP class — because it turns out that his problem is a version of the famous travelling salesman problem, and that all the other problems in the NP class can be reduced to it. What is more, his algorithm would win Santa $1 million: the question of whether the P class and the NP class of problems are equal is considered one of the hardest in mathematics, which is why the Clay Mathematics Institute as offered $1 million to anyone who solves it. Unfortunately Santa doesn't have the time to do any of this, and he's not a computer expert anyway. So he just takes an educated guess at what route to take and gets going, hoping for the best. It's a shame really because if he'd been able to show that P=NP he would have held the key to many of the world's secret communications, including everyone's bank details that are sent encrypted over the internet. This is because NP problems are used as the key for such encryptions, with the secrecy relying on the fact that the problems are very hard to crack.

Flow Toxicity and Liquidity in a High Frequency WorldDavid EasleyCornell University - Department of Economics Marcos Lopez de PradoGuggenheim Partners, LLC; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Harvard University - RCC Maureen O'HaraCornell University - Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management February 20, 2012 Review of Financial Studies, Vol. 25, No. 5, pp. 1457-1493, 2012. Abstract: Order flow is toxic when it adversely selects market makers, who may be unaware they are providing liquidity at a loss. We present a new procedure to estimate flow toxicity based on volume imbalance and trade intensity (the VPIN toxicity metric). VPIN is updated in volume-time, making it applicable to the high frequency world, and it does not require the intermediate estimation of non-observable parameters or the application of numerical methods. It does require trades classified as buys or sells, and we develop a new bulk volume classification procedure that we argue is more useful in high frequency markets than standard classification procedures. We show that the VPIN metric is a useful indicator of short-term, toxicity-induced volatility.

I would like to answer the question by quoting the discourse published in another TE article titled 'Peak Toil';
'But China owes the bulk of its growth not to adding labor or moving it, but to augmenting it—raising its productivity within industry. The secret of China's success lies not in the workers it adds, but in what new capital, technology and know-how adds to its workers.'
What CCP or Chinese government is to do should be increasing quality of labor force through education and training, rather than increasing the number of labors through letting go of the birth control, especially in process of urbanization.
Why should me worry and what shpould be worried?

Mike Cote's Business Editor's Notebook: Bitcoin, the honey badger of currency
While Bitcoin may still make you scratch your head, chances are you've heard about the honey badger, thanks to a narrator named Randall's goofy parody on YouTube, which has generated nearly 66 million views since it was posted in 2011.
On Friday, Mt. Gox, once the world's largest Bitcoin exchange, filed for bankruptcy in Japan, saying 850,000 Bitcoins belonging to customers and the company were missing, Bloomberg News reported. Mt. Gox, which reportedly has been plagued by cyber attacks, internal battles and clashes with regulators, suspects the Bitcoins were stolen and is considering filing a criminal complaint.
About $300 million worth of invisible money disappeared. Advocates of Bitcoin - which has gained a lot of traction among Free Staters in New Hampshire because the currency can be moved around without and does not reflect the overall Bitcoin ecosystem.
And why wouldn't anyone have a lot of confidence in a computer-generated currency that has fluctuated in value from $30 a year ago to $1,100 in December? That Bitcoin is just crazy.
While we can expect digital currencies to become more commonplace, we've learned no financial payment system is safe from the ingenuity of a hacker - the honey badger of criminals.
Last week, I was among the millions of Target debit card holders who received a form letter from Scott Kennedy, the president of Target, thanking me "for being a REDcard holder and valued Target guest" and apologizing for the holiday shopping season data breach that put its customers' financial data at risk to cyber-thieves.

LOL what has the julia language got to do with the "ARM Is A Dead End" thread, you posted the wrong thread link http://lists.fedoraproject.org/piper...ne/168631.html
it should have been http://lists.fedoraproject.org/piper...ne/168637.html
as for Kevin Kofler the initiator of that thread he seems to be rather lacking in the facts of the ARM Cortex and its long term future backed by all the worlds largest vendors of low power devices anywhere and then im not impressed by his other "as we have done since we finally got rid of the legacy PPC burden. Niche architectures are exactly what secondary architectures are for." comment ether.
PPC/AltiVec SIMD in still rather popular in the worlds mass Embedded market place today infact several vendors produce and provide PPC SOC refreshes on a regular basis complimenting the ARM cores and their many devices keeping the internet running, still it takes all sorts even narrow minded short sighted unimaginative fedora developers to keep the software landscape interesting i guess, if he had it his way the average fedora dev/user would never run a basic fedora on any Embedded devices like wireless routers,NAS etc

Yes. I have a problem on Firefox with this forum and a few others. You have to scroll so that the button you want to click is towards the bottom of your screen. I am glad I am not the only one experiencing this.
(I can't even click in this Quick Reply box, unless it's toward the bottom.)
Re: Forum Navigation
Firefox 5 and still have this issue. And it's across multiple PCs as well. Ugh....it makes it a pain in the **** to even approve posts because I can click the Mod Tools, but the menu items I can't most of the time.
This is the only forum I have this issue with.
Re: Forum Navigation
I'm having the same issue on Firefox 3.6.18 and Safari - it seems like it is related to the feedback button. If I can put the buttons or links I want to click above or below the feedback button - they work (i.e. at the top or bottom of the page). Also, on the forum home page, in the advanced post or edit pages (where there is no feedback button) I do not have the same issues in either browser.Last edited by TerraAduro; July 1st, 2011, 09:37 AM.
Re: Forum Navigation
It's not too bad on my work computer. But it's also a 24'' screen.
Basically if I scroll it so buttons are in the middle, I cannot click on them at all. This REALLY ***** on smaller screens though.
Re: Forum Navigation
I still don't see any problem with anything
Maybe Java and such needs to be updated. Did you update your Ipad to 5.0 recently?
My Iphone 4 iOS 5.0 works fine. Even previous versions.
Re: Forum Navigation
I use Chrome primarily and have found the same issue with all links in range of the feedback button.
Adding a .closed class definition to the #thread-poll-everything definition, that changes the width of #thread-poll-everything to 30px might be all the fix that is necessary.
When the survey is expanded by clicking feedback, there is a window around the feedback form, that masks all interaction with the page behind this window. This also includes using the mouse to move the cursor within this reply box, if it is in this region. This prevents any unintentional page interaction while the form is open. (If this didn't happen, you could think you were clicking on a survey option and actually be clicking on a page link like "View Tag Cloud"). The issue is that, in some browsers, when the survey is closed, this window is not re-sized, so all interaction behind this invisible window is still masked. It works fine for me in IE7 by the way.
(Please forgive some of my terminology, it's been a long time since I actually did much HTML coding)

Oven temperature sensor mal functioning (error code f 4) James N. • Folly Beach, SC • July 20, 2014 My Repair & Advice Pull stove away from wall Remove part of back cover, top left side, to expose where it's plugged in. Plugs matched. Didn't have to cut it off and wire nut them back together. Unplugged sensor. Discovered the 2 screws that hold the sensor are on the INSIDE of the oven. Remove oven racks. Spray screws with WD-40. Remove sensor. BUT first: tie a string to the plug of the old sensor, slowly remove leaving some of the string hanging out the back of the stove. Remove string from old sensor and attach to new sensor plug wire. Use string to pull wire through back of oven. Screw in sensor, plug in, replace cover in back, you're done.

As much as i love this site i don't understand monitor reviews.
Isn't this supposed to be a linux review site? So monitor works with linux. Next.
Motherboards, CPU's, graphics cards etc... are all great, we get to see compatibility and how well they work and some benchmarks.
But seriously monitors and USB mices? Maybe its worth a forum entry but a whole review just seems like your desperate for reviews and will review anything.
Now how about one of those zotac boards with an ION chipset on for review?

Dual Rank (not Rate, typo in my original post) has nothing to do with Dual Channel.
It's about the internal structure of each RAM module.
And Double Sided doesn't necessarily mean Dual Rank, of my 3 module pairs (all double sided) only 1 is Dual Rank, the other 2 pairs are Single Rank.
But for most RAM Modules it should be true, Double Sided=Dual Rank.

Countervailing duties are trade duties administered by WTO as a way to offset the impact that one country's government subsidies are deemed to have on the relative competitiveness of other nations' products.

Development Tourette's was once considered a rare and bizarre syndrome, often seen in Computer Programmers and Software Engineers. Most often it is associated with the exclamation of obscene words or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks while engrossed in an especially crap piece of code. Usually sufferers are unaware that they are actually talking outloud.
An annoyed programmer with Development Tourettes will often be found randomly swearing and screaming at their computer, in such a state of rage that they will not realise they are saying anything.

Golf is an excellent challenge, physically as well as mentally, and it's also a great social activity.
It might seem silly to put golf and danger in the same sentence, but injuries can and do happen. Golf balls and golf clubs are very hard objects that can cause considerable damage if they strike you, and golfers need to be aware of the dangers posed by everything from lightning to repetitive stress.
To learn how to stay safe on the golf course, follow these tips.
Why Is Golf Safety Important?
As sports go, golf is pretty safe, but there's always potential for stress-related injuries. The golf swing puts a tremendous amount of pressure on your back and your joints, particularly if you are prone to swinging too hard or your technique isn't the best. Back pain, elbow tendonitis, and pain in the shoulders, knees, hands, and wrists are all common golf injuries.
Less common but more serious injuries can happen if someone gets hit by a golf ball or club. Though it's extremely rare, people have actually died from being hit by golf balls. And then there are golf-cart mishaps: Golfers have been known to get seriously injured when golf carts are driven in a hazardous manner or if they dangle their feet or hands out of a cart while it's moving.
Fortunately, most traumatic injuries can be avoided by using common sense and following the rules.
Before You Tee Up
Always stretch before you play golf. Do trunk twists and other stretches to help loosen up your back, and be sure to stretch your leg muscles and the tendons of your elbows and wrists.
It also helps to get to the course early enough to warm up on the range by hitting a bucket of practice balls before you play. Start with wedges and short irons that call for a shorter swing, and gradually work up to long irons and woods that require a full swing. This not only will help your golf game, it will also go a long way toward preventing injuries.
If you will be playing on a sunny day, use plenty of sunscreen on any exposed skin, and wear a wide-brimmed hat to shade your eyes and protect your face. A typical round of golf takes more than 4 hours to complete. You will be out in the sun the entire time, especially if you walk the course instead of riding in a cart. Sunburns are no fun, and neither is dehydration, another problem you might encounter on hot days. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after your round.
On the Course
Be aware of your surroundings at all times, and keep track of the people around you. It should be easy to know the locations of the players in your group, which will generally number four or less. But you need to also take note of where other groups are located.
Any time you have a golf club in your hands and are preparing to swing, make sure everyone else is a safe distance away. Never swing a club if someone else is near you, whether you're taking a practice swing or hitting the ball.
When other players in your group are swinging clubs, don't assume that they are watching out for you. Be proactive and give them a wide berth so that you don't run the risk of being struck by a club. And never stand in a place where you could be hit by a ball when another golfer in your group is playing.
When the time comes to hit the ball, be sure there are no golfers ahead of you who might be in range of your shot. This includes golfers to the right and left who might be in danger if you slice or hook the ball onto an adjacent hole. Wait until you're sure other golfers are out of the way before you hit.
What's "Fore"?
Sometimes, despite all your precautions, you will hit a ball in the direction of other golfers. It's possible a golfer was hidden by trees or a hill and you didn't see them until after you've hit the ball. In cases like this, yell out "Fore!" as loudly as you can. This will let other golfers know that a ball is headed their way and they should take cover.
If, while you are playing, you hear someone yell "Fore!" don't turn your head to look for the ball. Instead, seek cover behind a tree or a golf cart. If that's not possible, cover your head and face with your arms.
Lightning Precautions
Lightning can be a big hazard on the golf course. Because you're exposed and carrying metal clubs, your risk of getting struck is greater than normal. Check the weather before you head out to the course, and never try to play during a thunderstorm.
Most golf courses these days will sound an alarm if lightning is spotted in the area. If you hear an alarm or see lightning yourself, head for the clubhouse right away. If you can't get to the clubhouse, don't seek cover under trees, which attract lightning. Instead, seek out a designated lightning shelter or bathroom. Be sure the structure you choose has walls, as open-walled structures will not protect you from a lightning strike.
If no shelter is available, drop your clubs and move away from them and your cart. Stay away from trees and water, seek out a low-lying area, and keep a safe distance from other members of your group to make yourselves smaller targets.
Golf-Cart Safety
Golf carts should only be driven by licensed drivers or if an adult is present. If you are going to drive a cart, read the directions and safety rules posted on the cart. It's not difficult, but carts can be dangerous if they aren't driven properly.
As much as possible, stay on cart paths, and never try to go off-roading across bumpy terrain. Drive straight up and down hills, and take it slow while going downhill or around turns. Look out for other carts where cart paths intersect, and never hang your feet, legs, arms, or hands out of a cart while it is in motion.
A Few Other Reminders
- Practice good golf etiquette. Wait for your turn to play, allow other golfers to get out of range before hitting, and keep quiet while others are playing.
- Don't move ahead into other groups. If the group ahead of you is playing slowly, it can be very frustrating having to wait. Don't give in to the temptation to hit into their group, though. It could result in a very serious injury. Instead take a deep breath and a few more practice swings. If you see a course marshall, ask him if he can say something to the slow golfers to help speed up play.
- Use the right equipment. Swinging a golf club can often cause you to get blisters on your hands, and on hot days sweaty palms can make clubs hard to grip. If either of these is the case, use a golf glove or two. Typically, right-handed golfers will want a glove for their left hand, and vice versa.
Golf shoes will give you much better traction than sneakers and help you avoid slipping while you swing. Get a pair of shoes with plastic spikes, as most courses will not allow metal spikes.
Common sense and a little forethought can go a long way toward keeping you injury-free on the golf course. Just use your head, and chances are you'll golf for years to come without having to worry about getting hurt.

About your stay
At The Mandala Hotel, service is impeccably professional but never intrusive. Stepping off the well-tread streets of Potsdamer Platz and slipping through an unassuming entrance, guests of The Mandala are met with welcome distractions. The two Michelin-starred restaurant FACIL, one of only five in the city, is hidden on the fifth-floor courtyard, nearly entirely open-air in summer. Chef Michael Kempf's menu emphasizes vibrant fresh vegetables and exotic herbs, meticulously prepared to preserve individual flavors, making for a rare culinary experience. The QIU Restaurant & Bar, located on the first floor of The Mandala creates a refined symbiosis between gourmet location and exclusive club lounge. In the spacious guestrooms, handcrafted tables and ornaments provide solid accents among the soft colors of raw silk curtains and cherry-wood floors. The top-floor ONO Spa is a world of holistic wellbeing high above Berlin, offering panoramic views and indulgent treatments tailor-made for those who value individualism and privacy.
Ulrike Lauber and Wolfram Wöhr
In an urban center built anew by international star architects, The Mandala Hotel is one of three Potsdamer Platz projects by Ulrike Lauber and Wolfram Wöhr. Windows of the second-floor Qiu Restaurant & Bar hideaway offer glimpses of the city rushing by. The all-suites residence is meant to provide long-term guests discreet relief from the area's hustle and bustle, with most rooms facing the inner courtyard.
Modern and Smartly Devoid of Trend
Interiors pare luxury down to its serene and subtle essence, but spare no expense with furnishings by Donghia and Chinese antiques hand picked by proprietor Lutz Hesse. The handcrafted tables and ornaments provide solid accents among the soft colors of raw silk curtains and cherry-wood floors. The design theme draws parallels with itself in the bathrooms, where light boxes are segmented in a manner similar to the door's frosted panes.
Finding Infinity
The Pride of Potsdamer Platz
Set in the heart of Berlin's newest neighborhood, the regal Mandala Hotel has zeroed in on a zero-waste philosophy that is turning heads in a city long known for its bold sustainability initiatives.
Lutz Hesse and Christian Andresen
Lutz Hesse and Christian Andresen both studied hotel management in Lausanne and Hamburg respectively, before working together at the city's Madison Hotel in the mid-1990s. At the turn of the millennium, they opened The Mandala, a sleek gem in the ultra-modern Potsdamer Platz, at the heart of new Berlin. Thirteen years on, Hesse and Andresen still set the gold standard in the never-hipper German capital.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Absolutely the best "freshest" tasting energy gel made right now. There really is a taste difference in using organic ingredients only and I'll have a hard time switching to anything else. Very tasty + easy to digest= happy stomach and quick energy.

Honey Stinger Organic Energy Gel
Love the taste!!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Its so easy to eat while riding, and it tastes to good, I had to stop myself from having too many during a medium distance ride!!!
tastes great, works great, easy to eat
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
great energy shot, with thinner than average consistency (easier to swallow) and great natural honey flavor/taste. efficacy is solid, with easy to digest energy being quickly absorbed. the basic gold is my favorite so far (honey flavor). organic ingredients makes them even better, don't need extra preservatives when these do the job just as well or better than others.
Than Volk
As a fan of Honey Stinger's waffles and energy chews, it was obvious to give these gels a try. They contain fewer calories (100) than their sister products (160). The pack also costs more but that's because you get 24 gels instead of 16 or 12. I bought them in fruit smoothie. There's no hiding that it's sweet. That's something I'm a sucker for so I found them tasty. Fruit smoothie had a stronger honey note than I expected. Between that flavor and its consistency, the gel most reminded me of tasting honey out of the bottle. They're a great extra energy boost while biking or touring, particularly knowing they're organic. I have not yet been able to test how viscous the gel becomes in cold temperatures.

Best gel on the market - Organic too!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Kudos to Honey Stinger for making USDA Organic products such as this energy gel! Have you looked at the crappy ingredients that are in Gu, Hammer, Powerbar, and other products? I've been using Honey Stinger products for my on the bike food and have never had any problems with stomach issues or taste - and this gel is by far the best I've tried.
I have gone to a strict only USDA organic and Non GMO certified diet and the results are astounding - more energy, faster recovery, better overall mood, and pretty much a happier person. I'm amazed how much of a difference the food we put in our bodies makes!

Great review B7. I agree. These are awesome. And as Wes says below, I have found these to be the gentlest on my stomach.
all natural
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
i like these a lot. They provide quick energy and are gentle on the stomach. Since they are made with honey my body seems to absorb them better as they are natural. Highly recommended.

Great switch option
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I enjoy options that aren't as brutal a gu gels, these fill the gel options for long rides or hikes. I actually prefer the taste of honey stinger products, I don't have to chug as much water with these as I do other options.
Works Great
The gel packet is great for running because it is small and fits in your pocket. It gives you the energy to push an extra few miles. The taste is not the best but I am impressed with the product overall.
ok, but taste is off-putting
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I tried the pomegranate flavor for this and it's ok, but the honey taste is a little too syrupy sweet for me. I prefer clif bar gels or gu's instead.

Tasty! Less thick in a good way
These are really tasty. I love that they are not as thick as Gu, which means they are easier to get down when I'm out of water.
Best Tasting Gels on the Market!

Great for Backpacking!
After mooching many of these off my friend I decided to buy a box for a big 19 mile canyoneering trip. I think I ate about 6 of these when I was starting to bonk. They gave me the natural energy that I needed to keep going. The best part about these are they taste good and are easy to eat unlike other brands that taste gross and you don't want to eat them. Honey Stinger all the way! All the flavors are great (and I'm picky) so don't worry about getting a flavor that you might not like because they mostly just taste like honey with a little bit of the other flavor ;)
Jeff Guest
My Favorite Energy Gel!
I've tried Hammer Gel, Clif Shot, and Honey Stinger and Honey Stinger wins my vote every time! It is thinner than the other brands and each flavor has Honey flavor along with the flavor you are eating! I've tried the Vanilla, and the Fruit Smoothie and they were both surprisingly good! I could feel it working too when I needed the energy.

Column -Boerema's fairwell
"Jesus replied, 'If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father… is the one who glorifies me." John 8:54Why do we do the things we do? Is it because we want recognition and praise or is there a greater reason that drives our actions? I went to the movie, "Lincoln" last week with some friends. Lincoln was asked by several people why he wanted Congress to approve the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. His purpose is found in this quote, "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in" Lincoln didn't see the freeing of slaves as something that would give him glory. He was willing to face all odds just because it was the right time and the right thing to do.The scripture passage from John 8:54 always fascinates me when it is Jesus saying that dying on the cross for us isn't because he wants to be recognized and praised by everyone forever in time. He doesn't want that. He wanted his Father to receive the glory for making it possible that we could be freed from the penalty of our sinfulness. He humbled himself to take up the cross. It was from his Father that he would receive glory.So, why do we do the things we do? It is a good question to ask ourselves? Maybe, there are things that we are not willing to do because there is nothing in it for us. Maybe, there are things that we are not willing to do because we would have to humble ourselves to get it done. There are many times when we have to choose whether this is about us or whether it is something that needs to be done, it is the right thing to do, and it is time to get it finished.This is my last column for the Tribune. I am planning retirement at the end of February. I have greatly appreciated living here in Dell Rapids for the past 19 years. It is home and the place where I have found many great friends.

Lewis looks to play stopper vs. Indians
Josh Hamilton was named the AL Player of the Month for April on Wednesday, while right-handed starter Yu Darvish was named AL Rookie of the Month. Hamilton's virtual sweep of the offensive leaderboards included an AL-best nine home runs, 25 RBIs, 64 total bases and a .744 slugging percentage. He was second with a .395 batting average, 20 runs and 34 hits (tied) in 22 April games. Darvish became just the sixth rookie starter since 1957 to win at least four games without a loss in April. He was 4-0 in five starts in his first Major League action, tying for the league lead in wins. Indians: Damon gets start at DH
New Indians addition Johnny Damon was penciled in as the designated hitter on Thursday for Travis Hafner, who sat out against the White Sox with a sore right knee. Damon finished the night going 1-for-5. Hafner was hit on the side of the right knee by a pitch from Phil Humber in the third inning of the Indians' 6-3 win over Chicago on Wednesday night. A day later, Hafner said he was optimistic about his chances of returning to the lineup soon. "It's a lot better now," Hafner said. "It hit right where there's no fat or anything. It's all bone -- so that wasn't a great spot. But, it felt better as I was icing it between at-bats and stuff. By the end [of the game], it was doing better." Worth noting
The Rangers are 5-0 in games Lewis has pitched against Cleveland. Indians infielder Jose Lopez cleared waivers and has been sent outright to Triple-A Columbus by the Indians. Lopez, who hit .190 (4-for-21) in five games for Cleveland this season, was designated for assignment on Tuesday to clear a spot on the roster for veteran outfielder Johnny Damon.

Happ, a 30-year-old left-hander, suffered a fractured skull, contusions to the ear that needed eight stitches and sprained knee ligaments as the result of a wicked shot hit back to the mound by Tampa Bay's Desmond Jennings on May 7.
"I'm coming along and threw off a mound without a (knee) brace the other day and hope to do so tomorrow," Happ told ESPN. "I was in a brace for several weeks and am now moving, jogging and regaining athleticism. I began running again three or four days ago and I'm not quite there yet as far as cutting or turning."
Happ remains on the 60-day disabled list until July 7. When he went down with his injuries, Happ had a 2-2 record with a 4.91 ERA in seven starts.

anybody else having trouble replying to articles?
whenever I click the [Reply] button in the comments on an article on the front page it hesitates, puts the reply text in the text box, then the reply text disappears... if I then type in the reply box and [Post] I end up posting a new message instead of a reply... I have to hit [Reply] twice for the reply text to stay so I can type below it and have it actually show up as a reply instead of a new post...
I'm using Firefox as my browser and this just started in the last week... I saw somebody else that posted a new post that looked like it was supposed to be a reply and was thinking that I'm not the only one this is effecting... |
BikePortland server response speed
There was some discussion on the front page of similar problems, the week before last. Thanks for bringing that discussion over here; better than hijacking a thread!
I noticed that the "Quote" button disappeared a couple weeks ago, so I think that Jonathan and/or his admin person are tweaking things. In fact, I now see that the quoted text you mention seems to be gone from the composition window. (It used to appear as a partial quote, first 20 words or so, in italics and slightly grayed-out chars, and it wasn't actually quoted in the reply, it was just displayed in the composition box.) Clicking "Reply" seems to reload the whole page, and BikePortland page loads are quite slow for me in general, from a few seconds up to 30 seconds or so, at times. I think that's a big part of the matter, the server just isn't responding super-fast, and/or is delivering a big chunk of data. (Maybe more caching would help.) It's also possible there are some security configurations on the server which slow things down (security is good but sometimes slow/painful). For several months, up to last week, I was seeing comments hang after I clicked "Post your comment." Sometimes the page reload would never complete, but if I forced a page reload, or opened another tab so I didn't risk losing my comments, I would find that my comment had already posted. It was as if the server was not sending a "finished" ack. That might be fixed, I'm not sure. Also, as El Biciclero pointed out in that thread, the three dots in the bottom right of the composition window allow it to be dragged to a bigger size, so you can see your reply. "...just be careful you don't drag the right edge of it outside the larger comment area or the dots get clipped and you can't drag it back again. If that happens, the right edge of your text will be hidden as well." I see the same things with FF on Mac, FF on Win, and IE on Win (all current). q`Tzal noted some wierd quirks with a mobile browser (Android?). I see slow loads even from text browsers and HTTP tools at other locations, too. For the "hit [Reply] twice" thing, I suspect that the composition box will eventually open up if you wait long enough (minutes?), or it might time out if the server is too swamped with requests. Just FYI from a Van, WA, Comcast line: --- bikeportland.org ping statistics --- 12 packets transmitted, 12 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 61.293/62.917/66.660/1.368 ms For comparison: --- www.streetsblog.org ping statistics --- 14 packets transmitted, 14 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 64.148/70.002/79.615/5.137 ms So, very similar ping times, yet Streetsblog loads much faster for me. I suspect the difference is the servers. I know that servers get pricey, especially as they get into high-performance levels, so I don't mean this as a complaint, just as info. |
server response speed affecting article comment posting?
it does seem that the speed of the server might be causing some issues with the way it's trying to deliver the UI before it can read the data and then it gets confused... not sure what changed over the last week or two... |
it's been a few weeks and this is still happening... it seems like it's become a permanent "feature" of the site... I wonder what changed that caused it to do this...
I've noticed another quirk. When I click "Reply" the whole page reloads before it takes me to the comment form. The first time, there's no indication in the comment form of the text from the post I'm replying to. I'm not sure if my reply will thread correctly under the replied post so I've taken to scrolling up to the post and clicking "Reply" again. Again the page reloads, but that time there will be partial quote of the replied post in the comment field, not a quote that appears in my reply, just a couple lines to indicate what I'm replying to. Sort of a nuisance but I haven't seen any threading problems with my replies, that way.
just wondering why it's been broken for so long... |
sorry for site bugs
hey guys,
I'm aware of this happening. It happens for me too! The site is long overdue for some cleaning. Believe it or not I'm using the same basic code/theme that I found for free back in 2005! I have tried several times to make a major update/upgrade/redesign but with such a large database it's a huge undertaking and the project has been scrapped each time. I am now hoping to embark on this task again. Unfortunately it will be expensive and I'm not sure I have the revenue room to do it right now. I'll have my Wordpress guy take a look at it in the meantime to see if there's not a quick fix. Thanks for sharing the feedback. --Jonathan |
