RapidDisk (rxdsk) Project - Introduction
I hope all is going well. My name is Petros Koutoupis and I am the President and Lead Developer of a startup company called Unovyx, LLC. I am currently trying to introduce and promote a project I have been actively working on. The project is RapidStor or rxdsk and it is a new type of RAM disk for the Linux kernel, similar to the ones found on Solaris and *BSD platforms.
To summarize, RapidDisk is designed to be used in high performing environments and with simplicity in mind. Utilizing a user land binary, the system administrator is capable of dynamically adding new RAM based block devices of varying sizes, removing existing ones to even listing all existing RAM block devices. The rxdsk module has been designed to allocate from the system's memory pages and is capable of addressing memory to support Gigabytes if not a Terabyte of available Random Access Memory.
To date, a similar solution does not exist in the Linux kernel. When completed, this project will be licensed under the General Public License (GPL) Version 2.0 with the hopes of one day integrating it into the official Linux mainline.
Project Site: rxdsk.unovyx.com
Kickstarter Page: http://kck.st/hZgpo2
Official Announcement: http://blogs.unovyx.com/?p=386
This is a list of features on the road map for the next set of major releases:
- Dynamic Resizing
- Data Compression (LZO)
- Data Deduplication
- Error-Correction (SHA-256)
Some of you may be wondering "why introduce a new RAM disk project when tmpfs or something similar can be used"? Well the answer is: some applications require a raw block device and not one formatted with a file system and mounted locally. While tmpfs to even ramfs boast a lot of great features and flexibility for faster performing I/O, without spending a lot of time to create/manage it, it is still not capable of serving our needs for our (i.e. Unovyx) long term goal. That is, this project will be used to build a fault-tolerant DRAM based SSD solution which in turn can be mapped across a SAN via FC Target mode to other Fibre Channel initiators (future support for Infiniband is planned). You cannot do any of that with tmpfs. Also, tmpfs and ramfs are designed for local use only and you suffer from a severe bottleneck in performance if you try to map it across a network.
Now, there is a purpose to this post. In order for Unovyx, (again, a startup company with very limited funding) to properly develop and test its project, we are trying to reach out to the community to hopefully help us by contributing to our project set up at the crowd funding site Kickstarter. The advantage to using Kickstarter is that is helps focus on the rewards given to the individuals funding a project. Each level of contribution has its own set of rewards. So, if this is something that may interest you, we would greatly appreciate any contribution to help acquire the appropriate equipment for the development and testing of this project.
After funding is achieved, the project will follow a 3 month development cycle before a stable version is released to the public.

ROME: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' star-studded Italian wedding on Saturday sealed a whirlwind 18-month romance that has been the subject of a whispering campaign from the outset.
The couple were first seen in public together in April 2005 in Rome, where Mission Impossible, Top Gun and Rain Man star Cruise was attending an awards ceremony.
Cruise breathlessly told reporters at the event that Holmes was "an extraordinary woman", triggering a wave of headlines that culminated with the actor's famous appearance on the hugely popular Oprah Winfrey show.
During the interview with Winfrey, Cruise - who had always previously kept his private life out of the spotlight - suddenly leaped onto the chat-show host's couch to profess his undying love for Holmes.
"I'm in love! I'm in love!", Cruise gushed. "I can't be cool. I can't be laid-back. It's something that has happened, and I feel I want to celebrate it. I want to celebrate her. She's a very special woman," he said.
The actor's antics raised eyebrows across the entertainment industry and made Cruise the butt of jokes for months afterwards. The Historical Dictionary of American Slang even made 'jumping the couch' - meaning to go off the deep end in public - its term of 2005.
Yet despite the sniping, Cruise and Holmes, who made her name in the popular Dawson's Creek television series, were soon to be engaged, with Cruise popping the question to Holmes at the Eiffel Tower in Paris in June. "You know when you connect with someone, and we just have that connection," Cruise told a press conference.
The fact that the proposal had taken place while the couple were both promoting upcoming movies, however, fuelled conspiracy theories that the romance was a confection dreamed up by Hollywood's publicity machine.
A People magazine poll revealed that 63 percent of its readers believed the romance was a publicity stunt. Even traditionally high-brow pillars of the US media establishment could not resist weighing into the debate.
"Through all the changes that have swept Hollywood over the years, one thing still endures: strategic love," a columnist in the New York Times wrote. "The coupling of stars to create ballyhoo for a movie, burnish an actor's image, create a name or distract attention from other relationships may not be as common as when the movie studios tightly controlled stars' careers through the 1950s, some publicists and film industry experts assert.
In October last year, the couple confirmed they were expecting their first child, which soon became prime fodder for tabloids. The couple's baby plans were the subject of constant scrutiny, especially after it emerged that Holmes would give birth in silence under a method promoted by the Church of Scientology, of which Cruise is a devout member.
The church's founder, writer L. Ron Hubbard, believed that babies, like other people, can subliminally soak up words shouted around them at birth that could come back to negatively influence them later in life.
The couple's daughter, Suri, was born on April 18. Yet a frustrated media had to wait a full four months before getting a look at the much-anticipated offspring, in a photo-shoot for Vanity Fair magazine.
The picture finally put to rest rumors and speculation about Suri, that in some cases went so far as to doubt the infant's very existence. In an article accompanying the spread, Holmes angrily decried rumours that her relationship was a sham.
"It's really frustrating the amount of shit that's out there. And the stuff they say about Suri? You shouldn't say that about us, and you can't say that about my child," Holmes said.

Filipinos 2nd largest Asian group in US, census shows
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
LOS ANGELES—Filipinos are now the second largest Asian group in the United States, according to the latest census bureau report.
The number of Americans who have identified themselves as Filipino, either alone or in combination with another race, totaled 3.4 million, the report showed.
The total number is believed to be much higher than the census count. There are an estimated one million undocumented Filipinos in the United States.
Chinese-Americans make up the largest Asian group, with more than 4 million. Those from the Indian subcontinent are the third largest, with 3.2 million. Other significantly large Asian groups include the Vietnamese, with 1.7 million; Koreans, with 1.7 million, and the Japanese, with 1.3 million.
This statistical profile was based on the 2010 census of major racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Released on March 22, the statistical portrait of the Asian-American and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations was produced for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, which is celebrated annually in May.
The report also showed that Asians were the fastest growing population, increasing nearly 46 percent over the last decade. Their number increased to more than 17 million from 2000 to 2010. A close second was the Latino population, which rose by 43 percent. By comparison, the African American and white populations grew by only 15 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
Census officials attributed the fast growth of the Asian population to immigration.
California, known as the gateway for Asian immigrants, had the largest population of Asian Americans, with close to 6 million, or nearly a third of the total nationwide. It was followed by New York, with 1.6 million. Hawaii had the highest percentage of Asians, who make up 57 percent of the island state's population.
The report showed that the Asian population grew dramatically in other states, such as Nevada, where the number rose by 116 percent, and Arizona, by 95 percent.
Among metropolitan areas, New York City had the largest Asian population, with more than 1 million, followed by Los Angeles, with 484,000, and San Jose, with 347,000.
Filipinos are the largest Asian group in the states of Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Washington, Wyoming and South Dakota. The Chinese made up the largest Asian group in Colorado, Oregon, Utah, District of Columbia, North Dakota, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont.

T-Series, Audio CD: Rs 130
A press note for Indrajit Dasgupta's Yaadein notes that while most songs are "pleasing" and "good", there is one song on the album which is "not up to the mark." You simply don't see statements like these anymore, and in a press note, to boot.
Perhaps one must view the music of Yaadein itself with a similar lens. Yaadein is eight songs of old, but not necessarily traditional, sounds (think monochromatic female choruses, a never-changing tabla, and all manner of melodic instruments piled on), the kind one doesn't often hear often today. The album also has appearances from Anuradha Paudwal, who hasn't been seen in the non-devotional album space for a while.
All eight songs have lyrics that are responses to grief, in some form or the other. For instance, one especially desperate track has the singer writing his last-ever letter, and thus exhorting the listener to store it with care. Lyrics are, among others, by Nusrat Badr, who has previously written lyrics for the 2002 version of Devdas.
Musically, too, the songs sound largely similar. Album openers "Woh Rooth Gaye" and "Bure Naseeb Mere" fit squarely into the mournful category. "Teri Yaad Mujhe Tadpaye" begins with sound effects from a rainstorm, and then goes on to repeatedly detail the singer's painful, unrequited love, with the monsoon as backdrop. All songs have flutes and strings in prominent roles supporting the vocals. Even the two appearances from Anuradha Paudwal, in "Jaane Kyun" and album-ender "Main Tera Kyun", manage to briefly enliven the album.
The one song that distinctly breaks away from this dominant sound happens, curiously, to be the one enlisted earlier as not being up to the mark. This is "Yaad Mujhe", which adds a dash of variety to the proceedings with its major-scale, slightly upbeat music.
Indrajit Dasgupta has a voice that, with its occasional quivers, aptly voices the mournful material of the album. The album might be pleasurable listening for those who enjoy music that's light and even pleasant at times, if predictable. For others, it could work – if at all – purely as a trip-down-memory-lane-style exercise, at best.
Keywords: Yaadein, music CD, Indrajit Dasgupta

New York Jets: A key vote on the proposal to build a Manhattan stadium for the Jets and for potential use in the 2012 Olympics is now scheduled for May 25.
The state Public Authorities Control Board was to have voted on the proposal Wednesday, but postponed the vote 18 hours before when legislative leaders made it clear they weren't ready to commit $300 million to the project.

Celebrity Chef
Pioneer, innovator and veteran chef – Serge Dansereau is one of our best.
A French Canadian by birth, Dansereau started work in Sydney at The Regent in 1983. He spent 18 years at the hotel, shooting their flagship restaurant to three-hat fame. Coupled with a forward thinking general manager, he was able to explore overseas trends and restaurants, bringing back to Australia a zest for interesting produce and small producers. At a time when you were lucky to get your hands on three different lettuce varieties, let alone a wild mushroom, Dansereau encouraged a greater knowledge of what we can produce in Australia and worked hard to get it from paddock to plate.
In 1998 Dansereau was approached to head up the kitchen in the iconic Bathers' Pavilion on Balmoral Beach. A local himself, the offer proved too much to resist. The relative down-sizing was not as dramatic as it may have been, with Bathers' still running three kitchens, two bars and 45 chefs. The Bathers' Pavilion is about the locals, the ocean and the food – bringing his customers the best of Australia from the outside in. His latest challenge has been that of his children's palates - a vegetable garden is his proposed solution, an extension of the paddock to plate concept, with mud patties and worms to keep the kids enthralled!...

Heist society
Peter Mayle may just be the unlikeliest writer of suspense novels. Though born in Britain, Mayle is best known for the years he spent in the Provence, France, and 1989's "A Year in Provence," his food-and-wine-heavy memoir. Since then, Mayle has been writing sequels to "Provence" and novels also set in the South of France.
In 2009, though, he went in an unexpected direction when he wrote "The Vintage Caper," a fictional thriller set mostly in Los Angeles (but also in France, naturally). Like his previous books, "Vintage" paid an unusual amount of attention to what and where the characters ate and drank.
It was also Mayle's attempt at an old-fashioned heist novel, with an old-fashioned thief in American ex-lawyer Sam Levitt and a newfangled prize in a stolen collection of expensive wine.
Now Mayle dusts off his charismatic con man for the follow-up, "The Marseille Caper" (Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 2012, 210 pages), the second in what promises to be a series featuring Levitt. Mayle throws in an early twist: The man who wants to hire Levitt to pull off the caper is the same man he stole the wine from, flamboyant French businessman Francis Reboul.
Reboul wants Levitt to help him secretly clinch a very lucrative real-estate deal in Marseille, but to do so, Levitt will have to pose as an architecture firm executive trying to win the project for himself. The problem? The selection committee's chair has already rigged the competition in favor of the unsavory British businessman Lord Wapping.
To pull the job off, Levitt must immerse himself and his extremely attractive cohort, Elena Morales, in the busy, glamorous social scene of Marseille. In the process, they learn a lot about the city's history (and the plague), and eat a lot as well as drink a lot. Along the way, the bad guys get dirty and Levitt has to pull off another job to sort them out.
Anyone looking for the ultra-violence of cold-blooded European crime novels or the whimsical storytelling of gaudy American thrillers will be sorely disappointed should they choose to explore "Marseille." The novel doesn't feel very violent and he doesn't really seem to be in much danger at any point. Everything Levitt does feels like an excuse for Mayle to have his characters eat, drink and see the sights. Readers will leave with a deep appreciation for the charms of Marseille instead of a fear that something might happen to Levitt.
Another problem of the novel is pace, because there is actually less urgency in this relatively uninspiring trick than the creative bait-and-switch of "Vintage." It turns out to be a luxurious, leisurely oddity.
Mayle has found a winning pair in his combination of the pragmatic Levitt and the bombshell Elena, so much so that, despite "Marseille's" obvious flaws, readers will willingly return for another "caper."
Reboul proves to be a far more colorful and likeable character as a collaborator than the villain or the mark. The irrepressible journalist Philippe and a jolly new crew add local color.
This book is really more for fans of "Provence" than the average heist novel.
When it comes to food and drink, Mayle's writing remains rich and appetizing, rendering "The Marseille Caper," for all its faults, a well-fed read, full of the filling details that make his loyal readers hungry for the work of Peter Mayle—as long as you're not really looking for any kind of suspense.
Available in paperback from National Book Store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Em's newest effort
This really is a great cd. Listening to it almost feels like an autobiography. Em continues where he left on in "The Marshall Mathers LP" and keeps everything very fresh.
2.White America--Em bashes Lynne Cheney, the "hypocrisy" of America, and what he calls "The United States of Embarrassment". At the end of the track though, em laughs and utters "I'm just playin...

3.0 out of 5 stars Gets BOOOring in a long run
This is the first Eminem album I have, and this will be my last. I admit, I was completely blown away the first time I listened to this album. I thought this was the real bomb that I wanted to go out and buy all of his albums. Thank God I didn't. I played this album every day non-stop for about 1 month . And that is when I realize that it gets boring. Believe me, this...

1.0 out of 5 stars Eminem ...!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Eminem Show (Audio CD)
Eminem is the biggest disgrace to the music world, an artist with absolutely no talent or merit whatsoever. I look forward to the day where we don't have music shelves and airwaves polluted with his vulgar, obnoxious, inappropriate so-called 'music'. This album stinks with all the rest of them. Do yourself a favor and save your money for something with longevity. Do spend it on this trash. You'll be sorry.

Brad M. Ackerman (East Lansing, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Eminem Show (Audio CD)
This CD is unbelievable, and as most people already know it has turned the public onto Eminem, when previously he got an equal amount of criticism as praise. Anywone who truly likes this cd and appreciates the complexity of Eminem's vocabulary and vocal rhythms should check out some of his earlier work like the slim shady lp which is a little more rough around the edges but again shows off his ability.
5.0 out of 5 stars "My Dads Gone Crazy",

dj razka (BroOklyN, Ny United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Eminem Show [Limited Edition w/ Bonus DVD] (Audio CD)
Em has proved himself to be one of the illest lyricists in the game since his debut on the Slim Shady LP. He once again proves it here with the Eminem Show, as he drops blazin rhymes behind the nasty Dre Beats that always get the party bumpin. The best tracks are #'s 2,3,12,16,17,18. Listen people, get up and take recognition of the best rapper since Biggie Smalls. Go out and buy the Eminem show today.
5.0 out of 5 stars Hip-Hop at its BEST,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Eminem Show (Audio CD)
Eminem has made an excellent album filled with infectious beats and rythmes. This Cd has a few singles on it:Cleanin Out My Closet, Without Me, and soon to be more. He is still #1 in the rap industry and this album proves it. It stayed at #1 for weeks. Anyway its a definite must own of 2002. I got this Cd and Korns Untouchables and had a music filled summer. This is a must own if you like rap and Eminem.

This review is from: The Eminem Show (Audio CD)
I love the new eminem cd. Any person can relate to almost every song on this cd. Whenever I get mad and need to calm down..I will go in my room and turn on that cd and listen to *Sing for the Moment* I can relate to that song so well and I think alot of other people can too. I dont really like all of the skits on the cd but the songs are awesome. I would recommend this cd to any "mature" audiences.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Anger!,
Emily J. Moore "emmybiz04" (Ridley Park, PA 19078) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Eminem Show (Audio CD)
I've always been a fan of Eminem and "The Eminem Show" just increases my loyalty to him. It's a new take on Eminem, a side I don't think a lot of people want to know. Yes, it's still angry and bitter, but a lot of people feel that way, they (like me!) don't have the guts to say it. Although I don't feel it was as great as "The Marshall Mathers LP", it's definately a step up and onward! Nice job, Em!

This review is from: The Eminem Show (Audio CD)
oh my gosh. this cd is totally dope. it's awesome, superman, business, cleaning out my closet. they're all so great and i just love this cd. also, i must add that eminem is the greatest artist of all time, and that if there's a perfect cd in the world, this is it. please buy it. everyone, whether eminem's your idol or you hate his guts(which i hope no one does) you should still buy this awesome cd.
4.0 out of 5 stars Welcome back, Eminem,
Kevin Dorff "kdorff" (Yonkers, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Eminem Show [Limited Edition w/ Bonus DVD] (Audio CD)
I am a big fan of the Slim Shady LP and the Marshall Mathers LP and bought this would right away. It took me a few spins to get to know the album and I must say I really enjoy it. Good production values. Probably a little less edgey, overall, when compared to the two previous albums. Worth a few listens if you are an Eminem fan (ie, listen more than once so you really get a feel for the album).

Have the reboot haters ever watched Star Trek?
I wonder what they think of the decon chamber scenes in Enterprise... Which heavily featured in the adverts before it aired.
Then there are the constant stream of beautiful women cast in Trek in revealing outfits since the 60s thanks mostly to Roddenberry ?
It's all been done before... Action/sex/adventure/women everything.
Well, the decon chamber bits were not particularly well-received and TOS is quite sexist in many ways in a modern context.
Things may have happened in Trek before, but that doesn't necessarily make them an example to follow.
Having said that, if I dislike this film (I very much disliked the last one - and for the record, I have seen every episode of Trek outside of a handful of TOS season 3 and the end of DS9 season 2, which I'm watching now), it won't be because of a few seconds of a woman in her underwear. I could not care less.
Kim: I'm detecting some weird technobabble.
Janeway: A possibly dangerous anomaly that we know nothing about?
Kim: Yeah. I suppose we should steer clear.
Janeway: Ha! Good one, Ensign. Take us in, Mr. Paris.

The Milwaukee Brewers put catcher Jonathan Lucroy on the 15-day disabled list with a broken right hand after their 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. Lucroy had a major league-leading .514 batting average with runners in scoring position. He said he hurt his hand while reaching under the bed in his hotel room on Sunday night for a lost sock as his wife moved a suitcase that fell on Lucroy's hand. He took some swings at Dodger Stadium before the game to test his hand and it became clear he couldn't play. X-rays revealed the break. Lucroy's injury is the latest setback for the Brewers this month. He's their seventh player to go on the DL.

We've kind of missed Audrina Patridge. Despite rarely getting more than an 'um' or an 'um, yeah, um' out of the former Hills starlet, we've always dug the helium-headed hottie for her ability to drop some sweet body visuals in public spaces, including last night at the Movie 43 premiere in Hollywood, where Audrina pushes up her chest petals for a little airing out on the red carpet.
Now, one question we often get asked is if we can really respect a girl whose mind numbskulling sensibilities might drive us crazy, despite the fact that she's one sextastic female form. And, of course, the answer is no, not really. But we'd also say that if you're asking such questions about a girl you'd like to slather in hot cocoa and play a game of 'Find the Mini-Marshmallows' with, you're way over-thinking this whole respect thing. Enjoy.

Just landed back from shooting four issues of autumn winter fashion in Tokyo. When you go all that way, no point just doing one story when there is so much to say - what a world. What an experience. Misty, humid and hot - as a hair stylist, one could worry about the hair but luckily we are all about 90's grunge: neon wigs, plaits and fifties quiffs; damp air couldn't touch us.
Last spring saw one the release of the most perfect fashion collections in recent memory, from Alexander McQueen. Based around bees and women as worker bees, this fantastically visual theme was cross-pollinated with the brand's dark romance. Immaculate construction ensured each elegant look was executed in the most high fashion way.

Update Oct 19, 2014: SCOTUS Fails to Stop Discriminatory TX Photo ID Law Before Upcoming Elections
On August 22, 2013, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of Texas challenging Texas's discriminatory photo ID law, SB 14, under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The NAACP Legal Defense Fund petitioned the Court on August 26 to allow its clients, the Texas League of Young Voters Education Fund and an undergraduate student at Prairie View A & M University, to intervene in the action. The DOJ and LDF previously successfully blocked SB 14 under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. In this new case, LDF's clients not only seek to block the suppressive photo ID law, but also will petition the court to "bail-in" the State of Texas for all future voting changes.
SB 14 imposes significant burdens on young African-American student voters in Texas, many of whom have previously relied on student IDs to vote in past elections. Texas's restrictive voter ID law would have a disproportionate effect on voters of color throughout the state. Nationally, only 8% of white voting age citizens, while 25% of African-American voting age citizens, lack a government-issued photo ID. Under the proposed law, concealed handgun licenses would be acceptable forms of photo ID, but student IDs would not.

Posted on Romacing the Books blog/Reviewed by Crystal/ Review Copy from the Publisher/ Taming the Cougar is a great book. It's got a great story line.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
Marla is a woman who has been through a really rough marriage with a man who put her down a lot. She's lost faith in herself and really puts her self down. She's very distrustful of men. Her mission is to stay away from men. She's in her fourties and has two grown children. What else does she need in life? Who needs a man that is always putting you down, always cheating on you, and everything is about money?
Chris is a man in his thirties and is single. He is pretty sure what he wants and he goes after it. He runs into Marla and really wants her. So when these two meet it's instant attraction.
I love how Chris helps Marla come out of her shell. Her shows her how to be a woman. Opens her up to all new sexual experiences, doing things to her that her husband never did. I love how her ex-husband gets a little jealous when she starts telling him about Chris. She realizes that there was nothing wrong with her. She was just married to a man who took all pleasure and never worried about hers.
Taming the Cougar is a book about love really has no age limit. Just take life and live it to the fullest. Never let anyone put you down and find the person who brings out the best in you. Take as much passion as you can.

Easy to find. Friendly owner. Lovely house. Very comfortable bed and room 4 has a huge adjoining bathroom.
Cozy and warm, owner was very welcoming and accommodating.
Great atmosphere. Owners were very welcoming and made you feel at home.
A little bit of traffic noise but nothing to keep me from going back again.
Convenience and the room we had with king size bed and pull out couch was great with amount of room to work in as well as relax in.
Friendly and accommodating staff with an in-house convenient store with surprisingly reasonable prices for a captive clientele.
Very clean and friendly.
Absolutely not for families. Too fancy for kids. Breakfast (which is delicious) is served very slow. ~30 min from seating until getting the food. Take into account when planning your day.
The breakfast offerings were 1st class, the staff very friendly and helpful.
Nice clean inn style setting. Friendly and happy staff. Reasonably comfortable bed by hotel standards.
Heat is kept pretty warm by most people's standards I believe, but might be necessary given the old style construction.
There was convenient parking outside
The towels were wet (clearly laundered, but still wet) and then went mildewy. There was no full length mirror and very poor lighting in the bathroom (for anything from tweezing your eyebrows to applying makeup).
The hotel was very clean and the beds were comfortable.
I was not impressed with the breakfast
Staff was very friendly and extremely helpful.
There was nothing likeable about this place.
If your looking for a cheap, run down, moldy, hostel feel/look, this is the place for you. There is a reason there are no pictures of the place. The one picture they use to advertise is a standard franchise picture. Do not be fooled. My fiance made reservations through kayak so I went sight unseen. Oh man what a mistake. You pull up and know right off the bat it's a junk box. The pool area windows are full of mildrew and God knows what else. I walked and walls are not done you can smell the moist musty air. The room was already paid for so couldn't do much they were not willing to refund the money. So I reluctantly walk up the stairs to my room ehhhhh it's like your walking right into a scary movie dark, long hallways the only thing missing was an overdosed prostitute and maybe a guy with a chainsaw. I walk into the room and walked right out even with a snow storm in full effect I knew I had to go. Dropped my room key off and I was done I don't care that I lost money. Honestly I think that's what this place banks on. I hope they used the money I paid for the room to buy some bleach and cleaning supplies.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Group says Google shopping ads fuel ivory trade
More News from Todd Pitman
More News from Associated Press
BANGKOK — A conservation group claims that Google has something in common with illicit ivory traders in China and Thailand: It says the Internet search giant is helping fuel a dramatic surge in ivory demand in Asia that is killing African elephants at record levels.
The Environmental Investigation Agency, a conservation advocacy group, said in a statement Tuesday that there are some 10,000 ads on Google Japan's shopping site that promote the sale of ivory.
About 80 percent of the ads are for "hanko," small wooden stamps widely used in Japan to affix signature seals to official documents. The rest are carvings and other small objects.
Hanko are used for everything from renting a house to opening a bank account. The stamps are legal and typically inlaid with ivory lettering.
The EIA said Japan's hanko sales are a "major demand driver for elephant ivory (and) have contributed to the wide-scale resumption of elephant poaching across Africa."
Google said in an emailed response to The Associated Press, "Ads for products obtained from endangered or threatened species are not allowed on Google. As soon as we detect ads that violate our advertising policies, we remove them."
The EIA said it had written a letter to Google CEO Larry Page on Feb. 22 urging the company to remove the ads because they violate Google's own policies. It said Google had not responded to the letter or taken down the advertisements.
"While elephants are being mass slaughtered across Africa to produce ivory trinkets, it is shocking to discover that Google, with the massive resources it has at its disposal, is failing to enforce its own policies designed to help protect endangered elephants," said Allan Thorton, the U.S.-based president of the EIA.
Curbing the trade in so-called "blood ivory" is at the top of the agenda of the 178-nation Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, or CITES, which is meeting in Bangkok this week to discuss how to protect the planet's biodiversity by regulating the legal trade of flora and fauna and clamping down on smuggling.
Around 70 years ago, up to 5 million elephants are believed to have roamed sub-Saharan Africa. Today, just several hundred thousand are left.
Over the last few years, as Asian economies have grown and demand for ivory has risen, the slaughter of elephants has reached its worst level in more than two decades. Last year alone, some 32,000 elephants were killed in Africa, according to the Born Free Foundation, which says black-market ivory sells for around $1,300 per pound. Much of it ends up as tourist trinkets and carvings.
CITES banned the international ivory trade in 1989, but the move did not address domestic markets.
Google's advertising policies state that Google "doesn't allow the promotion of products obtained from endangered or threatened species," including elephant tusks, rhino horns and products made from whales, sharks and dolphins.
Thorton said the policies were laudable "but sadly these are not being enforced and that's devastating."

I know that Harrang is "considered" to be the ace and over the course of this season, has seemed more consistent. However, Bronson really only had that one bad stretch and even during that time, many of the times he lost had something to do with errors or a struggling offense.
As of late though, Harrang just hasn't looked as good and Arroyo has been pitching well.
So if the Reds really needed a win, who would you count on to get it? Harrang or Arroyo and why?
I would've said Harrang earlier in the season, but as of late, I would take Arroyo.

Southern Greenland
September 24, 2004
Snow and ice recede from the western side of southern Greenland in this true-color Aqua MODIS image from August 7, 2004. As summer settles over then Northern Hemisphere, increased temperatures bring a brief growing season to even remote landscapes. But despite the warmer conditions, Greenland's ice sheet continues to dominate the interior of the huge island. Icebergs and chunks of sea ice salt the deep blue waters of the Northern Atlantic, especially in the waters off the island's western coast. And in the fjords, melting ice and snow carry sediments with them, which turns the water in the fjords shades of tan, green, and turquoise. On the eastern face of Greenland, sea ice gathers like foam along the edge of the island.

super fun mario style action game with block type build mechanics... this game is often mistaken to be minecraft rip-off by those who haven't played it. the only minus this game has compared to mc (for 'builders') is the lack of a dimension, for everyone else there are no minuses in fact the opposite is true - crafting is infinitely more enjoyable, gameplay is faster, more exciting and immersing, and crazy-chaotic at times (when you fall in a dark cavern and are blindly swinging your sword around trying to kill whatever's hitting you :P :D ).

Game itself is very interesting and fun to play! Better than most of the games these days, but the problem is that people can play online with cracked versions of the game, i think its the biggest minus in this game.
I hope it gets better and better with the new updates like minecraft did... [8/10]

Great game with tons to do while it is missing a decent tutorial and sometimes can be confusing with what you are supposed to do but besides that the game is great combat is interesting your main purpose can be set by you given it's terrific reward system I always find myself hunting something whether it's some wood from a forest i have been searching for or a new sword/gun there is always something to do since the game gives you no direction you are free to set your own goals and do whatever you feel you need to do
Overall this game may seem like minecraft at first but be aware it is in no way a minecraft clone this is a great game on it's own and if it was made before minecraft i'm sure people would complain that minecraft is a terraria clone

Do we have any Halo fans?

2 years ago, when my Grandmama was 81, she got really interested in gaming. She kept asking questions about the white box game (the wii) and looking around at Gamestop and Best Buy when we went looking for other stuff.
My father had an Xbox he'd won at a developer's conference that was just sitting around and so we agreed that I'd set it up for her to see if she'd be interested in playing. Note, up until this point, she'd only known how to turn on her computer to play card games--she was very low tech.
So I set everything up and took her to best buy. I told her a few of the games that were good, based on experience I've had. I didn't even think about games with any kind of shooting, because she can't watch anything with blood/guts (she calls it tomato sauce). So someone comes up to us at the store and recommends a racing game, which she snagged, and I went over to look somewhere else.
She comes up to me about 10 minutes later with the (now) 2 games she's chosen and I go up to the counter and pay for them and don't even think to look at them. We get home and I grabbed into the bag and came out with the racing game. Popped it into the xBox and everything was great.
Until she tried to play it. Spent a lot of time hitting other cars and turning around. She requests the other game, which I'd forgotten about and I take out the racing game and pull the other game out of the bag. As I'm peeling off the plastic, I realize she picked HALO. I asked her about it and she said it sounded good.
And then my 81 year old Grandmama proceeds to play Halo for the next hour, thoroughly schooling me in it, before I left the room and called my father to giggle. Her great niece and nephew were over a few months later and apparently, their father decided to pack up the XBox because it was creating too much of a stir. My Grandmama would try and take the controller away from the kids whenever Halo was in the tray. She was thoroughly addicted.

Building Economy and Protecting Environment Topics of Town Hall Meeting at UW-L
By Joe Orso, La Crosse Tribune, Wis.
Jun. 25–A new alliance between workers and environmentalists seeks to create green jobs in Wisconsin and across the nation.
"Doing what's good for the environment has worked out to be what's good for the economy as well," said Ryan Schryver, energy policy specialist for Clean Wisconsin, at a town hall meeting Tuesday night at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. The meeting was part of a "Green Jobs for America" campaign, a project of the United Steelworkers, the Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Blue Green Alliance.
Schryver — one of five panelists representing farming, private business, labor and local government — opened the two-hour event with a PowerPoint explanation of how global warming caused by humans burning fossil fuels is a reality largely accepted by the scientific community.
"This is one of the largest moral issues of our time," he said.
Panelists talked about how bringing jobs in manufacturing wind turbine parts, modernizing the infrastructure of the energy grid and training electricians, carpenters and others to work with green technology are all ways to boost the economy in Wisconsin.
"How many people have actually thought about whether their skills could be put to work doing a green job?" asked Rosemary Wehnes, a Sierra Club representative who moderated the event.
Bill Brockmiller, a La Crosse County Board supervisor, said he sees very little resistance to renewable energy among his constituents.
To those who do resist, he said, he asks even if global warming is not a reality, what's wrong with finding alternatives to fueling cars when gasoline costs $4 a gallon?
"Certain areas get known for certain kinds of businesses, and I think Wisconsin is in a position to become its own Silicon Valley for renewable energy," Brockmiller said.

- Introduction
- Speculative theories
- Analytical problems
The new science: Vico and Herder
Among the 18th-century theorists, two writers can indeed be picked out who—while remaining firmly within the speculative tradition—at the same time possessed sufficient genius and prescience to realize that the solution to the problem of establishing history as a reputable discipline might be found by pursuing a course different from one modelled upon the methodology of the natural sciences. Partly because of the obscure and scholastic manner in which it was written, the Scienza nuova (1725; New Science) of Giambattista Vico was a work whose importance remained for a long time wholly unrecognized, and it was not until the 20th century that its significance and originality were fully appreciated.
Central to the book is the contention that the kind of knowledge that humans can achieve of their own actions, creations, and institutions is of a radically different type from the knowledge that is acquired by the observation and investigation of the nonhuman or natural world. Knowledge of the former variety is, moreover, held to be in principle superior to that of the latter. For, in Vico's opinion, in order truly to know something it is necessary in some sense to have made it: it followed that, whereas the reality studied by the physical scientist is the creation of God and therefore only properly known by God, the "world of nations" that forms the subject matter of history is the creation of humans and is therefore something that humans can "hope to know." Thus, Vico was led to stress the differences rather than the analogies between historical and other forms of enquiry; in particular, he emphasized the need for the historian to enter imaginatively into the spirit of past ages, re-creating the outlooks and attitudes that informed them as opposed to seeking to impose upon them inappropriate or falsifying interpretations—"pseudomyths"—that derived from the cultural ethos of his own time. Vico propounded a cyclical theory of human history, according to which "nations" or societies pass through determinate stages, and he combined this with the idea that a providential principle is in some manner immanent within the various forms of life that humans construct. He employed such conceptions, however, in a fashion that treated human nature as historical and emphasized that human powers and capacities do not conform to a fixed or static pattern but are necessarily subject to change and development in the course of time.
In a similar vein, the German writer Johann Gottfried von Herder, in his influential Ideen zur Philosophie der Geschichte der Menschheit (1784–91; Outlines of a Philosophy of the History of Man), implied that it was vital to view human actions and achievements from a standpoint that took proper account of "time, place and national character"—in other words, cultural milieu and the inevitable limits imposed by historical situation and circumstance. In its general direction, Herder's historical thought reflected the Enlightenment preconceptions of humans as progressive beings. Herder's chief importance lies, however, in his insistence upon the misconceptions involved in treating the products of past thought and action as if they were the manifestations of an unchanging human consciousness and as if they could be explained by reference to abstract laws eternally valid for humans everywhere. According to Herder, such an approach failed to recognize the complex influences that act upon human beings as members of particular historical societies; each of these societies possessed its unique life-style, subtly but inescapably determining the mentalities of those born within its confines in a manner that rendered futile all attempts to reduce human propensities and needs to the terms of some simple set of abstract formulas.
Many of Vico's and Herder's ideas appear familiar today, but it is easy to forget that the emergence of what has come to be known as the "historical sense" is a comparatively recent phenomenon, one that represents a genuine revolution in European thought. It is largely because of this revolution that social and political theories of the kind elaborated by philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes and Benedict de Spinoza in the 17th century now seem oddly artificial, so remote are the categories in which they sought to explain human life and behaviour from those that have subsequently found acceptance.

Combining Reminders with Siri on the iPhone 4S is pretty awesome. Simply ask Siri to, "Remind me to do 'X' at 'Y'," with X being the thing you need to do, and Y being when you want the reminder to go off. In Mountain Lion, Apple brings the Reminders app to the desktop, minus Siri. You get everything you've got on the iPhone, plus a couple of cool additions.
On the desktop, Reminders lets you create a task or to-do list, set the date and time you want the reminders to go off, and push them to all of your iDevices. Having Reminders on your Mac also means you have the ability to search through your reminders and view them on your calendar.
The one iOS 6 feature that Reminders doesn't do on your Mac is "Remind me to do 'X' when I get to 'Z'," with Z being the location where you want to do your task. Geofencing, as it's called, makes little sense on desktop and notebook computers, which generally don't have GPS or real location services.
