I don't see how Borg would be playable as a faction since they are hostile with everyone, there's no way they would fit with existing game economies so they would have to have an infrastructure completely unique to them which would be a lot more work than completing KDF and adding Romulans. That said an off-shoot Liberated Borg faction or even a Rogue Collective that isn't driven to assimilate everything that moves might be doable.
Undine are maybe a bit too insular and since in this game they are hostile with everyone we end up with the same problems as the Borg.
Tholians would make for a fun faction simply because they are so alien, along with the Undine they are the only 2 species that aren't "humans in a rubber suit" type aliens, but unlike the Undine they do have ambassadors and some form of trade with other factions even while being openly hostile over territory.
The Dominion would be the one that gets my vote as a fourth playable faction, of all the alternatives they have an empire that rivals the power of the big 3.
All that aside, putting some meat and skin on the KDF bones should be a priority before looking for new factions, if the KDF is left incomplete it doesn't bode well for any other new faction thrown into the mix.

Comment: I maximize risk-adjusted net returns (take home) (Score 1) 241
> You maximize profit. the amount of tax you pay on profit is irrelevant to the process of maximizing it.
No, I maximize my take-home, also called risk-adjusted net returns. Along with any other values you have such as environmental concerns. Gross profit (what is taxed) doesn't matter. What matters is how much ends up in your pocket. Here are some rough numbers from the choice I actually had to make three years ago. I could either:
A) Continue to run a business with the following numbers:
Revenue $200,000
Payroll expense $100,000
Tax and compliance $40,000
Other expense $20,000
Net take-home $40,000
B) I could take a job working for the government with these numbers:
Salary $52,0000
Benefits $13,0000
Tax $10,0000
Take-home $55,000
Note that "before-tax gross profit" doesn't appear in the calculations, because it doesn't matter. What matters is how much goes in my pocket after all expenses, including payroll with payroll taxes, direct taxes, compliance cost, everything. You'll note that the number that matters, net take-home, was higher if I laid off my two employees and took a government job. So that's what I did.
You may also note that if the taxes and compliance costs were half as much, the net take-home would have been better by keeping the business open and my employees would still have jobs.

ILWACO, Wash. -- Washington state and federal agencies are trying to determine whether a 20-foot, open boat found beached Friday at a southwest Washington state park is debris from the Japanese tsunami.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has taken information written on the boat and is working with the Japanese consulate in Seattle to determine whether it came from Japan and, if so, whether it might have gone through the 2011 tsunami, Washington state Ecology Department spokesman Curt Hart said.
Everything we have is very preliminary, Hart said Friday evening. It may take into next week to get answers.
Photos:Boat debris in Ilwaco
Photos show the boat flipped over on Benson Beach at Cape Disappointment State Park. It's festooned with hundreds of what state Fish and Wildlife officials told Hart are gooseneck barnacles, typical of time in the open ocean.
No oil or hazardous materials have been seen, Hart said. However, Ecology spill responders will assess whether the boat poses any immediate environmental hazards.
Officials are warning the public to stay clear, just in case the boat might harbor any invasive plant or animal species. State fish and wildlife personnel will work on that assessment, the spokesman said.
Thousands of people are flocking to see a Japanese dock that was torn loose by the March 11, 2011, tsunami and ended up on an Oregon beach.
More: Tsunami dock removal bids range from $80K to $240K
Officials plan to be at the Washington beach this weekend to learn more about the boat, which looks like a shallow rowboat.
In addition to NOAA, the state departments of Ecology, Health and Fish and Wildlife, as well as the Military Emergency Management Division and the state Parks and Recreation Commission are working on the boat assessment and response.
Earlier this week, Gov. Chris Gregoire announced that she and other state officials plan a Monday news conference at Ocean Shores to explain how the state will respond to Washington coastal debris from the tsunami. Widely scattered tsunami debris has been arriving intermittently along Pacific Northwest shorelines. The state Health Department has said it believes it is highly unlikely any arriving tsunami debris is radioactive.

Bruce Plante, the staff cartoonist at the Tulsa World (view more of his cartoons here), speaks to a group about some of his political cartoons at The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma.
The presentation was part of the Ray and Mary Giles Symposium on Citizenship and Public Service, and gave Bruce the chance to showcase some of his best work from the Tulsa World and his previous job at the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
One of the loudest laughs came at the explanation of this cartoon, commenting on the dirty Tulsa mayoral campaign between Tom Adelson and Dewey Bartlett. The cartoon features two paper bags that are on fire, labeled Adelson and Bartlett, and a voter nervously ready to stomp the fires out.
"If you don't know what this cartoon means, give me your address," Plante said.

Giants draft Richmond S Taylor in fifth round
The New York Giants have drafted Richmond safety Cooper Taylor in the fifth round of the NFL draft.
The selection is the third on defense for New York, which finished next-to-last in the league in total defense. They took defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins of Ohio State in the second round and Texas A&M defensive end Damontre Moore in the third round.
Taylor, who is 6-foot-4, started his career at Georgia Tech and transferred to Richmond after two seasons. He played in 10 games this past season, and had 78 tackles, four interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, and three forced fumbles and 1 1/2 sacks.
The Giants lost safety Kenny Phillips to free agency in the offseason.

Young Blood
4-legged Zen master
More News from Jan Sevilla
The sight of a 20-inch bluish-green body with protruding red spots greeted us.
I saw him glued to the wall in perfect stillness, like an exquisite adornment. His physical demeanor told me to stay away. Yet the more time we spent together, the more I got to know him.
It was early in February, when the dry season was at its peak. The temperature had risen over the last three days. Bangkok was 90 degrees and it was a whopping 96 in Phuket. The steamy tropical weather had spread across the entire peninsula, and our stopover on the third largest island in Thailand—Koh Samui—was not spared.
This 247-square-kilometer island, where 90 percent of the population of 40,000 are Buddhist, is home to a Tokay gecko community. In the villa that we rented, we were sharing space with one of its kind. There were other geckos in the area but our house mate seemed to know how to get the best location. From the terrace, the view was of towering palm trees punctuated by the ocean, which was constantly changing colors from many shades of playful blue to dazzling emerald.
I saw our gecko again on the second day, above the toilet seat; it was becoming his favorite spot. I began to get curious about his actions. His nightly rituals would start as soon as he crawled out of the dark corner of the gutter. He'd prowl around and, after the cicadas finished their chorus, he'd perform his tok-ko solo like an opera singer in an aria. Then he'd stay motionless for many hours as though waiting for something, and just before the crack of dawn he'd disappear.
I had a list of things to do, for it was my first time in Koh Samui. I had planned to visit the big Buddha, the Ang Thong National Marine Park where Alex Garland's novel "The Beach" was filmed, the Namuang waterfall, the monk mummy at Wat Khunaram, and the legendary Hin Ta (male) and Hin Yai (female) at Lamai beach resembling human genitals. I wanted to go on an elephant ride, and to see the "lady boys."
But instead of going through the list, my house mate's Zen-like ways so influenced me that I decided to spend more of my time getting close to nature. I spent time watching the clouds go by, and I felt at ease. There was peace and it was blissful. And for hours I'd lie motionless, just like my house mate. I'd listen very carefully to what's happening around me. I'd wait until everything became acute and lucid. Finally, with every detail so clear, I'd hear the soft gust of wind blowing in from the west; I'd feel the trees swaying in motion and the waves slowly washing the sand.
It occurred to me that I was beginning to think like the gecko in our villa. In adopting his philosophy, my senses were awakened and I began to understand the concept of patience. I'm still antsy about some things but I can say that I'm a work in progress. Needless to say, the art of meditating has worked wonders, thanks to my four-legged Zen master. One afternoon I went out again to soak in the beauty of nature. The cold water soothed my stiff muscles. I lost my balance when I came out of the pool, but I was quick to grasp the side of a rock, demonstrating what my friend had taught me—an adhesive-like reaction.
(If I were to visit Koh Samui again, it would be between April and September, avoiding the driest season that is from January to March. The heat seems to bring out the geckos from their hibernation.)
I did not see our gecko in his favorite spot on the evening of our last day in Koh Samui.
Outside, the guests from all the villas gathered on the shore for the floating-lantern activity. One by one, each lit a lantern and released it. The evening breeze propelled the lanterns up into the sky until each looked like a tiny spark produced by a firefly. (And if it turned out to be a bug, the poor creature would be eaten by our gecko, soon be part of the food chain.)
When it was time for me to light my lantern, I remembered our house mate's loud staccato croak that always woke me during my nightly slumber. "Tok-ko! Tok-ko!" For that brief close encounter, I was grateful for his wisdom. In the back of my mind I saw his 20-inch bluish-green body adorned with protruding red spots. I closed my eyes, let go of my lantern, and wished everyone and him a good night.
Jan Sevilla, 26, describes herself as "a quixotic nomadic chick" from the Philippines who works as a research assistant in Kuala Lumpur.

District maintenance crews renew EcoBiz certification

The goal of this program -- the first multi-media (air, water and solid waste) landscaping services certification program in the nation -- is to prevent and minimize pollution generated by small businesses in Oregon.
It recognizes landscape design, installation, maintenance, and irrigation service businesses and organizations that reach the highest standards in environmental protection.
To qualify, THPRD had to meet 100 percent of the legal/program requirements and 80 percent of the elective requirements. EcoBiz representatives carried out site visits to verify the accuracy of THPRD's claims.
THPRD first became certified in 2010. Re-certification is required every 5 years.

Hey people! I was wondering if you all could help me, I am looking to build my own pc to play games on at hopefully medium settings at least. What parts would you guys/girls suggest?
Preferably parts because I know it is a bit cheaper that way and building one yourself is supposed to be a really good experience :)

http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forums/1/helproom/4127495/new-pc-budget700/ have a look at this link. It came out at about 650 in the end but by downgrading some of the parts would easily drop it to your budget. You could drop the CPU cooler,ram(use cheaper) etc.

Have a look at overclockers.co.uk or newegg they have some really good prices. Building a computer yourself is great! It will give you the knowledge needed to trouble shoot pretty much anything because you built it yourself.

Pantsified, sports dude.
Pantsified, sports dude.
I'm actually pretty excited. I won't have to just use my computer anymore.
Now I can hear those god awful horns and the 360 fan blow while I watch the World Cup.
Too bad I'm already at my television when I'm on my Xbox. But hey, this is still BIG BIG NEWS for plenty of other people.
I might drop cable now! Pretty damn cool hope its more than ESPN 3 (ESPN 360).
I love it. ESPN 3 on the Xbox :)
Very happy at the prospect of ESPN 3 on my 360. Hope that works out, because I want more HD sports and my cable provider likes taking that sort of cool stuff away.
Also thought the Sportscenter guys did a fabulous job with their part of the presentation, even if I'm in the minority saying that.
NFL? What's that? I've never heard of it.
so i guess i can cancel my sattelite subscription soon?
They are SO playing real games during the break.
Button mashing is the real way to win.
Pretty cool.
I didn't keep up to date with the press conference, but MS didn't announce Hulu right. If so, that is a damn shame. Hulu + ESPN + Netflix = Death of cable TV.
ESPN on XBOX is full of win.
Death of cable is impossible. It just has to adapt.
I don't see why I would ever need satellite TV or digital cable now.
Why isn't it called ESPN 360 on 360, a huge loss. Not as cool as MLB TV on PS3, but kind of rad, waiting for NHL Gamecenter live to end on one of the two consoles.
NFL? That's the real deal maker/breaker
Sooooo.... will I get this in Canada or am I screwed again?
I think this is HUGE and pretty big news. Sports are so popular, and if you give me another reason not to have TV/cable it's a good thing!
ESPN usually has great commercials. This wasn't one of them.

Bakery sparks Pistorius cookie outrage
Published on Feb 26, 2014 6:38 AM
CAPE TOWN (AFP) - A popular Cape Town bakery was forced to apologise on Tuesday after bringing out an array of Oscar Pistorius themed cookies ahead of the South African athlete's murder trial next week.
The cookies - one of which depicted him with the logo of his former sponsor Nike and the wording "Just do it. He did it" - caused an online backlash.
Pistorius shot his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp through a bathroom door on Valentine's Day last year. He claims he mistook her for an intruder.
Another cookie depicted a toilet with the wording "Caution" and "Using toilet Please don't shoot!"

Report: Fernandez trade talks 'likely on back burner' for now
|07.28.10 at 11:17 pm ET
The rumor mill has been buzzing with reports of the Celtics being in the mix to acquire Trail Blazers guard Rudy Fernandez, who is reportedly unhappy with his current role behind Brandon Roy. But the talks may quiet down until next week.
On Wednesday Jason Quick of the Oregonian tweeted, 'Rudy trade talks likely on back burner until Sunday. GM Cho tells agent Andy Miller he will meet w/coach McMillan in Vegas on Sun to discuss.'
That doesn't mean, though, that speculation will be curbed until then. On Tuesday, Fernandez wrote in his blog, "There is gossip about my future and everyone asks me but I'm really just focused on the national team right now."
In the meantime, here is a glimpse into why Fernandez is drawing interest around the league:
Fernandez has two years remaining on his contract and is set to earn $1.25 million next season. He averaged 8.1 points and 2.0 assists in 62 games last season.

Is there a way to have you guys fire off one of my Cloud Code functions on a predetermined schedule?
Something as simply as hourly, daily, weekly, monthly would be fantastic.
I think this falls in line with your mission of us not needing servers.
Example: I have a game in which a weekly tournament must have a query run to determine the winners. I currently have to run this query manually (blech! I'll forget!); or run my server which calls into the backend.
Example: I have a turn-based game in which matches that have a player that decides to not show up any more after a few days should auto-forfeit.

Yes! You can use Background Jobs for this purpose.
ok thanks
hope to see this feature soon..!!
Any update about this possible feature? Like, if you are working on it or have a possible date?
We generally don't post ETAs for unreleased features - if we miss that date, people will be disappointed.
+1 on this feature.
would be nice thanks.
+1 This would be a great feature
+1 on this
Hector can you give me some example about where I should write my cron script to do some task periodically . You have answered that we need to set up a cronjob somewhere else to schedule some task periodically,It would be a great favour if you give example that where exactly we should write cron script.
Our Cloud Code guide (https://www.parse.com/docs/cloud_code_guide#functions) contains an example of how you can use curl to call a Cloud Function via the REST API. Set this up in a shell script that's called from a cronjob.
ashu, the code from simone (see at the bottom of the thread ) works. Mine was missing some parts. also i have a sample worker (iron.io) in python working (will post it later as Im from home now)

I use iron.io for this purpose. That way I'm still "serverless". Disclosure: I don't work for them, I'm just a happy customer of both iron.io and parse.
is it ironWorker ?
Yes, I use an IronWorker script written in Python. It checks an rss feed for new entries, and when one is found, sends off a push notification via Parse. The script also stores a list of processed rss entries in Parse so duplicate notifications don't get sent.
k thanks. iron.io looks great. I tried to use it thru javascript (node.js stuff), Althrough I'm a long time game developer, I'm really new to this web service / javascript stuff.
after browsing a bit I assembled this source (see in next comment):
I tried to launch a cloud code function (hello which prints to console).
but looks like it cannot reach the api.parse.com thru https, looks like a authentification issue to me.
Any idea to kickstart me ? Thanks in advance Nick
var http = require('http'); var net = require('net');
var post_options = {
host: 'api.parse.com',
port: '443',
path: '/1/classes/hello',
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-Parse-Application-Id': 'MYAPPKEY',
'X-Parse-REST-API-Key': 'MYRESTKEY'
http.request(post_options, function(res) { console.log("Got response: " + res.statusCode); }).on('error', function(e) { console.log("Got error: " + e.message); });
about 2 years ago
hi, this is a complete working example of a Cloud Code function call which takes no arguments:
var https = require('https');
var net = require('net');
var headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-Parse-Application-Id': '***YOUR APP ID***',
'X-Parse-REST-API-Key': '***YOUR REST API KEY***'
var post_options = {
host: 'api.parse.com',
port: '443',
path: '/1/functions/***YOUR FUNCTION NAME***',
method: 'POST',
headers: headers
var post_req = https.request(post_options, function(res) {
console.log("Parse post statusCode: ", res.statusCode);
res.on('data', function(d) {
post_req.on('error', function(e) {
sorry, I forgot to mention that this is of course this is an ironWorker example
thanks, now I see the part I was missing (actually sending the request). thx for helping.

+1, this would really help. Otherwise, I'm forced to setup a second server to do this, and that really defeats the purpose of using Parse. It's not the end of the world, but it would be awesome-sauce to have it built-in.

this is something I'd love to see, also.
Example: My app needs to send a push notification to a group of users a certain number of hours before an event. I would like to have a job run hourly that would query for events about to happen and trigger the necessary notifications.
I would like to see this as well, I'm looking to do something along the same lines as Drew.

European regulators have published a revised list of air operators and the EU member states that will administrate their participation in its emissions trading scheme from 2012, expanding by more than 1,000 the number of operators which based on historical data would be touched by the scheme.
The EC published a preliminary list covering around 2,700 air operators earlier this year, designating a single member EU state to be responsible for their participation in the scheme. A final version of the list, which is based on historical data covering the three-year period from 2006 to 2008 rather than necessarily the actual carriers which will be covered by the scheme, has now been published to cover around 1,000 additional operators.
Publication of the final list is a key milestone as delays dog the process for airlines to submit their plans for monitoring emissions. Under the original deadline, airlines are required to submit their plans for monitoring their emssions by the end of August. Monitoring of airline emissions in 2010 will form the basis for the share of free carbon allowances airlines will be entitled when the scheme begins in 2012.
But the final list has only now been published and some national regulators, notably including the UK which will handle the largest number of carriers, have already extended the deadline beyond August for airlines' to submit their monitoring plans. Others, such as Italy, are only now appointing the relevent competent body.
IATA assistant director, aviation environment, Quentin Browell says implementation is causing considerable concern, as the competent authorities are moving at different speeds. "For airlines in Europe, it is clear who their authority is. For those outside Europe, it's not so clear. Many are ready to submit their plans, but others are struggling to understand what is required."
The EC has stressed the 2010 start for airlines to montior their emissions will remain in place. Under aviation's inclusion in the EU emissions trading scheme, all carriers flying into the EU regardless of their country of origin, will be covered by the scheme from the start of 2012.

Chrysler is raising the bar for modern muscle car power with a supercharged V8 known as a "Hellcat" that will pump out a mind-blowing 707 horsepower. Chrysler is boldly calling this model "the most powerful muscle car ever," a claim that very well may be true if you ignore vehicles modified by aftermarket companies like Saleen or Lingenfelter, and if you choose to take the official horsepower and torque ratings of 60′s era muscle cars at face value.
But in 2015, excluding aforementioned tuner modified vehicles, the Hellcat's principle competitors are Cheyv's ZL1 Camaro (580 horsepower) and Ford's Shelby GT500 (662 Horsepower)…although the GT500 is out of production.
Horsepower Wars Continue
Just when you thought the high horsepower wars had peaked, Chrysler decided to blow everyone away with their new Hellcat engine. The Challenger has already been giving the Camaro and Mustang a run for their money, so the Hellcat version is certainly a game changer.
While Ford's new Mustang will likely be offered in a high horsepower, limited edition configuration, it's hard to imagine Ford coaxing 700+ horsepower out of any engine in their line-up, at least an engine that will fit into the new Mustang's smaller frame. GM's new 650hp LT4 – found in the new Z06 Corvette – is certainly comparable to the Hellcat, but comes up a bit short, and it seems unlikely that GM will "tweak" it to find another 50hp.
Will GM and Ford try to keep pace with the Challenger's outrageous rating? While it's never a good idea to try and predict the future, the odds of a 700+ horsepower Camaro or Mustang seem long…federal fuel economy regulations are putting a damper on this sort of thing. Therefore, let's enjoy this little horsepower war while it lasts, and remember that all of these engines are offered at your local dealersihp with bumper-to-bumper warranties. We're not talking about tuner engines here…we're talking about production power.
A Hellacious Engine
The supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat engine is basically a 6.4-liter Hemi with a shorter stroke (reduced by 0.14 inches), a reduction that was made to spare crank and rod bearings from premature failure. The engine houses a forged crankshaft, hardened bearing surfaces, forged pistons, powder-forged rods, and beefy bushings with carbon pins. Dodge also gave the Hellcat heat-treated aluminum heads, die-cast aluminum rocker covers, and Hemi orange paint.
The screw-type IHI supercharger mounted on the Hellcat features dual water-to-air intercoolers and air-to-oil engine coolers to keep both engine temps and air charge temps down. The Hellcat's exhaust is said to be nearly a "straight pipe," with only electronically variable valves inside the system to attenuate exhaust sounds (and yes, that means you will likely be able to push a button and have an obnoxiously loud exhaust).
Like the standard 2015 Challenger, the SRT Hellcat will offer the same eight speed auto or six-speed manual. However, unlike the standard Challenger, the Hellcat will feature a variety of imposing style accents that will threaten anyone thinking about a little race.
Do You Take The Red Key or The Black Key?
An interesting new feature available on the SRT Hellcat Challenger is the option of limiting maximum power output with a key. The Hellcat will come with two separate ignition key fobs:
- The red key unlocks the car's full power potential – it's all 707hp, whether you need it or not.
- The black key electronically limits the Hellcat to "just" 500 horsepower. While this is a 200hp reduction in power, it's still more output than the next most powerful Challenger's 485 horsepower.
While this feature is being billed as a tool to prevent valets (or perhaps unruly teens) from pushing the Hellcat to its limits, it's hard to wonder if perhaps this feature is an acknowledgement that a 700hp Challenger is hard to control…or perhaps that the 700hp setting puts an extraordinary strain on the vehicle's powertrain.
Regardless of any control or durability concerns, however, the 707hp Hellcat Challenger really has only one purpose: Intimidation. Odds are, a Porsche 911 or Corvette owner that's unlucky enough to pull up next to a Hellcat is going to become seriously distracted with their stereos once they realize what they're next to. That's precisely what Dodge is going for here – a massively powerful car that puts expensive sports coupe owners on alert.

Can't wait let's see if this one actually makes the power, my new camaro made 125 hp less than advertised
Horsepower wars dodge will never ever beat gm or ford , are you forgetting about mustangs 850 horse super snake? Besides its brother the charger out performs it in every category. Nice looking car but nothing underneath it impresses me.
The supersnake wasn't a production vehicle, it was a customized ford mustang Shelby gt500 that was then taken to Shelby after it was made so they could tune it in order to make the supersnake, so no the hellcat is still the fastest production muscle in the world.
Yo Drifter. Article really said little about
'Fastest" unless your refering to the E.T in the quarter? It said highest horsepower. Stay on point maybe.

Arizona Wildcats
Carl Bradford, Marquis Flowers highlight list of local products who made NFL rosters
Deadline Saturday came and went in the National Football League, and unfortunately very few local products survived their respective team's final cuts.
Only five players from Arizona State's Pac-12 South championship team made a 53-man roster Saturday: LB Carl Bradford (Packers), DT Will Sutton (Bears), RB Marion Grice (Chargers), FS Robert Nelson (Browns) and DL Davon Coleman (Cowboys).
Grice, however, was waived Monday by San Diego, as the team looked to make room for a defensive lineman.
Only two players from Arizona's 2013 squad made a 53-man roster: RB Ka'Deem Carey (Bears) and LB Marquis Flowers (Bengals).
Below are the list of players from all three local Division I universities who were released this weekend:
• LB Chris Young
• S Alden Darby
• OL Evan Finkenberg
• S Keelan Johnson
• DE Gannon Conway
• LB Bradon Magee
*Note: TE Chris Coyle and WR Kevin Ozier was also cut earlier in training camp.
• CB Shaquille Richardson
• OL Eben Britton
• CB Trevin Wade
• WR Dan Buckner
• DE D'Aundre Reed
• S Nate Ness
*Note: WR Michael Thomas made the Houston Texans' 53-man roster after sitting out all of 2013.
Northern Arizona:
• RB Zach Bauman

Philippe & Janine Doh purchased this studio in 1998
Philippe and Janine made everything possible to guarantee that our stay in NYC could be the best experience ever. We felt like home, thanks to him, Janine, and their wonderful friend Teresa. I'll surely recommend them to family and friends and stay with them again!
We absolutely loved this place. It was our first time using VRBO and I can't express how happy we were to go the non hotel route for our very first trip to NYC. And we'll probably do the same thing when we return. We've done a lot of traveling and this place made us feel at home. It was cozy, warm and comfortable to return to after a long day of sightseeing and walking. Personably I loved the neighborhood. It had lots of character and it close to subways which made it very convenient to get from A to Z. People were nice and helpful when asking about directions. Lots of restaurants to choose from as well, like Picante and Solace. It was safe and we felt safe.
I would recommend this place for people who want to be in the chaos of NYC but RETURN to a calm, quiet and nice place to stay at and feel like you were in your own living room. Only thing To consider is the bed is a full. My spouse is 6'2 (and I'm 5'1) and us sleeping on a full was tight but a small price to pay for such an awesome stay.
The owners are sweet and respond to your questions/concerns quickly... If there are any. We are gonna miss NYC. Thank you Philippe and Janine!
I enjoyed my stay very much . It is a nice very modern updated place with a good location to the subway. Since I love food, there is all kinds restaurants or walk ins just a block away.The owners are very accommodating if you have any questions.
I am definitely going back there if I visit New York City again.
We really enjoyed staying here. The owners were prompt with emails & information. Checking in and out was very easy and they were flexible with our schedule. The room was in great condition - the bathroom was very clean (note: it wasn't clear to us in the photos but there is a sliding door). We were very close to two subway stops and there are some great restaurants nearby. Again, we would recommend this for any young couples eager to have a base for exploring the city.
I was very pleased with this spot and I'm keeping it as my spot when I go to NYC. I'm a New Yorker (from Lower East Side) but wanted to be in a less busy, more affordable place. The owners were very accomodating with a little situation at the start of the time there and went above and beyond to rectify which I appreciated. Customer service is important and they showed they knew the value of that.
The place is so adorable and perfect with its own private entrance. It is located on a quiet street and what I loved is that as a Latinos we found a great restaurant Caridad to eat mangu! There was also a great domican place to get my hair done up the block for a wedding that weekend for $25!!
The AC was powerful and in the middle of summer it was perfect. The bathroom is amazing and the bed which I thought would be uncomfortable was actually quite comfy. Other than a little room in bathroom or more light by the mirror by entrance (for us makeup girls), this place was perfect.
I already told my friends about this spot and will definitely be back soon!
This place is very convenience, it just takes a few minutes to subway station by walk. Neighborhood is safe and convenient as well. the room is very clean and comfortable, my wife loves that mattress very much. Janine is responsible and helpful. I recommend this place very much.

SPOKANE -- Spokane murder victim Michelle Koenen had recently to her hometown after spending several years living in the Spokane and Portland areas.
Koenen, 48, was found strangled to death in her West Broadway Ave home Friday.
Police are searching for 38-year-old Tony T. Callihan in connection to Koenen s death. Detectives said the two were dating and believe Callihan strangled Koenen during a domestic dispute.
Koenen grew up in Spokane and attended Gonzaga Prep. Her mother Doris said Michelle was a great child, with a strong will.
She wanted to live her own life, Doris said.
Koenen left home shortly after high school. She returned to Spokane last summer to be close to her family.
83-year-old Doris has cancer and is going through chemotherapy. She said Michelle would take her to her chemo appointments. She said Michelle did not have any children, but loved her two dogs. Michelle did not have a steady job but she worked odd jobs here and there .
Doris said she did not know about Michelle s boyfriend.
She is devastated by her loss, but said she would be able to forgive the killer.
I don t hold grudges, she said.
In newly released documents, Callihan s stepdad first questioned Tony when he saw him driving Koenen s Dodge Stratus, because Tony had a suspended license. Callihan reportedly responded, Don t worry about that. That s the least of my worries. His stepdad said Callihan then borrowed some money and took off in the car.
His stepdad told police Callihan appeared bothered and upset when he saw him again the next day. Callihan then admitted he just killed a girl, police say. He reportedly explained shoving and choking her at a meth party the night before, and leaving her at a house in the 2300 block of West Broadway.
Callihan's stepdad told police he dropped off Callihan to that house several times before, and believed he was dating the woman living there.
His stepdad called 911 after the discussion. Police found Koenen dead in the home shortly after, with signs of trauma on her face.
Callihan was last seen in Ellensburg, Wash. on Monday. Police said he was trying to steal gasoline from a CWU maintenance truck.

PADRES: Wieland, Owings opt for surgery
SAN DIEGO ---- Slowly, but steadily, Joe Wieland was making his way back to a mound. At the same time, Micah Owings was hoping to jump-start his season as a position player.
Those plans have changed.
Padres manager Bud Black said Tuesday that Wieland and Owings have each decided to have surgery. Owings will undergo a procedure to "clean out" his elbow, while Wieland will have Tommy John ligament-replacement surgery on his ailing right elbow ---- effectively shelving the right-hander for the next 12 to 16 months.
"With Joe, medically, he went through all the right processes to get to this point," Black said. "He was feeling good along the way. He was throwing. I think it just got to the point that when the intensity picked up, the pain re-occurred. With that, I think through all their consultations and conversations, the medical people and Joe decided this was the way to go."
One of eight Padres pitchers on the disabled list, Wieland (0-4, 4.55 ERA) last pitched May 6, when he allowed two runs on five hits and a walk in 5 2/3 innings against the Miami Marlins. He landed on the disabled list a few days later and is lost for the rest of this season and a good portion of the 2013.
Dr. Lewis Yocum will perform Wieland's surgery within in the next couple of weeks, Black said.
Owings has been on the disabled since April 26 with a strained right forearm. He had been attempting a comeback as a position player at the team's spring training complex in Peoria, Ariz., when a setback forced him to contemplate a procedure that Black said will "take care of some of the loose particles and shave down spurs" in his elbow.
Black said that a decision to undergo surgery won't alter Owings' plan to pursue a role as a position player.
Owings, who owns a career .503 slugging percentage, signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Padres in February.
Mickelson speaks
While preparing for the British Open in Lytham, England, golfer Phil Mickelson addressed his role with the O'Malley group negotiating the purchase of the Padres from owner John Moores.
"I'm just strictly kind of a silent partner who will talk with the O'Malley and Seidler families on how I can help the organization," Mickelson told the Los Angeles Times. "Operations is not my deal."
Finally at Petco
Nick Vincent (Ramona High / Palomar College) joined the Padres on a pair of road trips earlier this season before the team optioned back to Triple-A Tucson. On Monday, he finally got into a home game for the hometown Padres, tossing 1 2/3 scoreless innings in front of about 20-30 family and friends who made the trip to Petco Park.
Vincent entered with the bases loaded in the fifth inning and bailed out starter Kip Wells. He struck out two, walked one and didn't allow a hit.
Making his first appearance at Petco Park didn't distract Vincent in the least, he said.

Federation vs The Dominiom: The Rematch.
View Single Post
July 22 2013, 08:41 PM
Re: Federation vs The Dominiom: The Rematch.
Comparing 2nd and 3rd Generation drone vehicles with 70th and 80th generation manned aircraft is not quite equivalent.
Indeed, it completely preempts speculation, as we by default have no idea what 70th generation drones might look like.
But the comparison you don't appreciate here is the only one of any relevance. The drones of today can't fight anything that fights back - and the situation is not going to change if both the drones and their supposed prey keep on evolving "at the same rate". One or the other has to change in order for the gap to be closed, and everybody today seems to agree that it's gonna be the drones. They have to jump straight from being enlarged toys to being unpiloted F-16s or they're never gonna shoot down anything of worth.
Studies have shown that the same aircraft designed without pilots would have a $2-5 million savings without having to build a cockpit for the pilots and all the other redundant systems necessary to ensure the pilots survival.
Exactly. Which proves my point - current drones are a dead end in terms of combat, and pilotless versions of current piloted aircraft will rule, at least in the short term. Indeed, Sweden has already opted to make its future UCAS out of optionally piloted Gripens, rather than playing with toy aircraft...
However your planets and stationary facilities (Starbases, dockyards, research stations, etc) don't have that ability so they would be destroyed should you not choose to defend them.
In Trek terms, you wouldn't defend them with starships. Curiously enough, a starship in Star Trek has never defended a planet!
Starships attack planets. Planets are either undefended, or then (at least in DS9) fixed fortifications defend them, with a few ships hanging around and joining the fray. Fixed fortifications are extremely good at multitargeting and can blow weak units out of the sky with single shots (say, DS9 when fighting Klingon Birds of Prey or Dominion small craft). So you swarm the fortifications with hundreds of full-sized starships... Trying to swarm them with weaker units would just mean you needing millions of them, apparently. Drones would cost you more than crewed ships, or optionally crewed ships.

This natural pest control trap contains no pesticides and is fully disposable.
The yellow color of the trap as well as the glue will attract the insects. Shake the plant gently and insects hidden on the leaves will fly to the traps.

Safer® Brand is the leader in alternative lawn and garden products. Safer® Brand recognizes the growing demand by consumers for these products, offering a wide variety of natural and organic solutions for lawn, garden, landscape, flowers, houseplants, insects and more!
[back to top]
I use this product to rid my orchids of fungus gnats. It works great. Even at times when there is no infestation, I leave a stake with a clean sticky pad in the plant pot to alarm me when the pests are around again. As soon as I see one caught on the yellow pad I know it's time to treat the soil with a larvicide again.
I bought these for the first time last summer as a last resort for my deck plants. I wish I had known about them ages ago!! They work and no fear of liquid or dry pesticide spills. Have shared news of this product with family and friends and I will be re ordering shortly! Ty for keeping our evnironment safe and pest free!!

This item works a little too well in fact. The little sticky traps are covered so I actually need to order more! They work well because you are able to push them as far down into the pot as you need to unlike other traps you would just hang in the general area. They seem to be helping control our gnat problem though I would recommend a pesticide to go along with them. The sticky paper helps cut down on the number of flying adults but eggs still exist in the pot that need to be taken care of as well.
These thing are great. They all but eliminated the gnat problem that developed on my orchids. It took about a week or two and those things were covered with gnats..... all dead!! Problem gone!!!
After we switched to all organic potting soil, fungus gnats and/or flying mites were trying to take over our house. Sticky stakes have all but eliminated them!
These little guys are great. Less mess than other brands I've tried. They are small and pre-cut. I put one in all my plants and within a week my white fly issue was gone without having to use any chemical spray that could harm my dog. Highly recommend!!!!
Purchased these to combat fungus gnats that appeared in big numbers after repotting plants. The little black gnats are pesty and seem to land in any open glasses of fruit juice etc. you might have. After reading an article recommending another brand for gnat control I decided to purchase these after researching info on the Amazon site. The concept is quite simple, has no pesticides to endanger pets and isn't obtrusive in your plant pots. It helps control but not eliminate the gnats. Additionally limit watering of plants and allow top two inches of soil to remain dry to put a dent into the gnat population. Although it doesn't seem like you get a lot with these pest strips they are worth having and I have already reordered.
They are small, as other reviewers have noted. However, they work great on fungus gnats, which is why we got them.
