I. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to electronic pace setting devices in general and more specifically to electronic devices that provide a controlled pace appropriate for taking examinations of limited duration, and training for taking such examinations. The device of the present invention provides a question number display that is incremented at a frequency that allows the examinee to devote an appropriate time to each question and to finish the test in a timely manner.
II. Description of Related Art
It is considered important in many athletic events, such as running and swimming where individuals compete over a given course, to maintain a proper pace. During training, athletes often need to determine an optimum pace in accordance with their ability, so that maximum results may be achieved for a given effort. Over the years, a number of different mechanical and electronic pace setting devices have been used by athletes to help them determine an optimal pace during training as well as to monitor their pace while participating in competitions.
Jogging is a sport that has recently become popular to keep good health. To insure optimal benefits, the jogging pace should be sufficient raise the jogger's heart rate to a level appropriate to her age, weight, and physical condition. Thus, in order to aid a jogger in obtaining the maximal healthful effects of jogging, various different pace setting devices have been developed.
Pace setting devices have also been used to pace recreational athletes using golf courses, tennis courts, or other facilities that must be shared, in order to insure that no person will spend a disproportionate amount of time at their game thereby tying up such facilities.
Finally, pace setting devices have also been developed and used to pace contestants playing chess or other timed games as well as to hold musicians to proper time, meter, and rhythm.
All of these devices generate a constant tempo by providing some sort of physically perceptible repetitive signal. This signal may be visual (e.g. a flashing light), auditory (e.g. a speaker sound), or tactile (e.g. a vibratory oscillation).
I. Nature and Substance of the Invention
While electronic pace setting devices have been developed for athletes and other persons, these devices are not appropriate for students or examinees who are taking, or preparing to take, multiple choice or short answer examinations.
Examinees, nevertheless, have a need for an appropriate pace setting device to help them manage their time while taking an examination. This is especially true for multiple choice or short answer tests that have a large number of questions and allow only a minute or two for answering each question. In such tests, the "maintenance" time of checking a clock to pace oneself is likely to be comparable to the "productive" time of solving problems. Furthermore, because of the short time allocated to each problem, examinees are forced to pace themselves by setting "time-checkpoints" or "time-milestones" corresponding to groups of 5, 10, 15, or more questions and they have no practical way of checking their pace on a question by question basis.
Additionally, when taking multiple choice tests which allow only a limited number of answer choices, examinees may wish to keep track of the distribution of their answer choices. This would allow an examinee unsure of the answer to a particular question, to consider the previously answered questions and choose an under represented answer as an answer to the current question. This strategy may prove beneficial in taking multiple choice tests in which the correct answer choices are either uniformly or randomly distributed.
The present invention is an electronic pacing device that tracks an examinee's answer choices and provides a convenient means of monitoring and budgeting time on a question by question basis. This invention allows an examinee to more easily determine if she is behind schedule and must speed up or if she ahead of schedule and may slow down and devote more time to each question. Furthermore, it provides an examinee with an intelligent way of guessing answers on multiple choice tests in which the correct answer choices are either uniformly or randomly distributed.
II. Objects of the Invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic pacing device that may be readily used by students and other examinees when taking, or preparing to take, multiple choice or short answer examinations.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an examinee with an accurate estimate of how well she is pacing herself, by displaying the question number which the user should be working on at any given time. This allows the examinee to budget her time with respect to each individual question which is something that cannot be easily achieved with an ordinary wristwatch.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an electronic pacing device that also performs as a mechanical pencil with a built in pacing display whereby an examinee taking a test may monitor her time without having to divert her eyes from the test papers. Still a further object is to provide an electronic pacing device for a multiple choice examination which tracks an examinee's answer choices and provides a "best guess" answer to the current question based on the assumption that the correct answer choices are uniformly or randomly distributed.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention are set forth in the drawings, description, and claims which follow. Some objects and advantages will be apparent from the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out while other objects and advantages may be learned by the practice of the invention.
The following drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, serve to explain the principles of the present invention when they are taken together with the general description given above and the detailed description of the preferred embodiments given below. Moreover, the aforementioned objects and advantages of the present invention, as well as additional objects and advantages thereof, will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description which should be read in conjunction with the following drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a flow diagram of the essential sequence of processing in the present invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates a first embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the interactive relationship between various elements of the present invention.
FIG. 4 illustrates a second embodiment of the present invention.
An electronic pacing device having particular application for use by students, examinees, and other persons who are taking, or preparing to take, multiple choice or short answer examinations is disclosed. In the following description well known systems are shown in diagrammatic or block diagram form in order not to obscure the present invention unnecessarily. Moreover, this specification sets forth many specific details, numbers, materials, and configurations only for purposes of explanation and to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced by application of numerous modifications obvious to those skilled in the art without making use of the specific materials and details shown and described.
FIG. 1 is a flow diagram illustrating the essential sequence of processing in the device of this invention. This sequence is initiated in step S1 when a user actuates an ON switch. When the ON switch is actuated, a microprocessor responds in Step S2 by displaying a prompt that asks the user to enter the number of test questions N. In Step S3, the user answers the prompt by typing in the total number of test questions N via a keypad. After the user presses an ENTER key, the microprocessor stores this information and sends the next prompt to the display screen (Step S4). This prompt requests the time T allotted to complete the examination. The test time T is entered in Step S5 when the user replies to this prompt by typing in the time T and pressing the ENTER key. After the ENTER key is pressed, the microprocessor responds in Step S6 by calculating the average number of seconds A that are allotted for solving each test question (i.e. A=T/N) and displaying this result to the user. In Step S7, the user launches the electronic pacing function by pressing a START button at which time the microprocessor starts a timer clock and simultaneously causes the question number "1" to be displayed indicating that the user should now start working on the first test question. In Step S8, the microprocessor increments a counter every A seconds which continuously updates the display screen showing the question number which the user should be working on at any given time. Thus, there is provided a numeric display by which the user may pace herself until the time for completion of the test has expired at which time the pacing function is discontinued (Step S9).
Referring now to the specific embodiment of FIG. 2, reference numeral 100 refers to a hand held electronic pacing device of the present invention. Device 100 is a self contained, battery operated, portable device. It comprises among other elements, a cylindrical housing 110, a keypad 140, an LCD character display 150, and an LED warning light 160. In addition, encased within the housing 110 are a mechanical pencil mechanism, a microprocessor, an electronic timing clock and a counter, all of which are described further in the text below.
The cylindrical housing 110 and the mechanical pencil mechanism contained within the cylindrical housing, together with a pushbutton 130 and a pencil lead 120, cooperate to allow this embodiment to additionally function as a conventional mechanical pencil. For examinations that may be answered in pencil, this embodiment is particularly advantageous because it allows the pacing display to remain in full view while the examinee is answering the examination. Mechanical pencils include screw-type pencils in which a pencil lead is propelled by a screw that is activated by twisting one end of the pencil; conventional pushbutton pencils in which a lead is advanced by the push of a thumb on the top of the pencil; and pushbutton pencils in which a lead is advanced by pressing a fingertip against the side of the pencil. While the embodiment of FIG. 2 utilizes the mechanism of a conventional pushbutton pencil, any other type of mechanical pencil mechanism would do just as well for the purposes of the present invention. Because the technology of mechanical pencils is well known it need not be described in further detail herein.
This embodiment is also provided with a timing clock, a counter, and a microprocessor which is programmed to control the pacing function of the present invention. The interactive relationship between these elements is illustrated in the block diagram of FIG. 3. Together, these elements cooperate to give the user instructions in the form of prompts via the LCD display 150; to store various numerical inputs provided by the user; to make calculations (e.g. the average time that should be alloted to each test question); to provide a warning signal; and to pace a user taking an examination by displaying, on the LCD display 150, the question number that said user should be working on at any given time. These specific functions, as well as the sequence in which they are executed, are more fully described throughout the text of this specification. The technology for controlling and implementing these functions, however, is well known in the art and further description of such technology is unnecessary to understand the subject matter of this invention.
Referring back to FIG. 2, the keypad 140 has an upper portion which includes ten keys for the numerals 0 through 9, a CLEAR key C which clears the display 150, and an ENTER key E which the user actuates to input data that the user has typed in. The keypad also has a lower portion with an ON key O, a START/RESUME key R, a PAUSE key P, and an OFF key F. The ON and OFF keys function to turn the device on and off respectively. When the START/RESUME key is pressed the device begins or resumes its electronic pacing function. When the PAUSE key is pressed the device suspends its electronic pacing function and stops incrementing the question number.
The LED warning light 160 of this specific embodiment is set to begin flashing on and off at some predetermined time, say 10 minutes, before the end of a test. In other embodiments the warning time may be set by the user. Furthermore, while this embodiment utilizes a warning light, any other suitable warning indicator, such as a sound speaker or a vibratory motor, would do just as well.
Device 100 will be of benefit to any student, examinee, or other person taking, or training to take, a multiple choice or short answer test by providing an accurate pace setting standard. By matching this pace the examinee will be able to devote an appropriate time to each question and finish the test in a timely manner. Thus, this invention provides a convenient means of monitoring and budgeting an examinee's time. For example, if the examinee, glancing at the LCD display, sees that she is ahead of schedule she may slow down and devote more time to each question. On the other hand, if she sees that she is behind schedule she may choose to speed up her pace.
Just prior to taking a test, the user must enter, into device 100, that data which is specific to the test she is preparing to take (i.e. the number of test questions and the time allotted for completing the test). To accomplish this, the user begins by depressing the ON key. As soon as the ON key is depressed, a prompt will appear on the LCD display 150 requesting the number of test questions. The user then types, on keypad 140, the number of test questions and depresses the ENTER key. After the ENTER key is depressed, a second prompt will be displayed. This prompt asks for the time allowed for completing the entire examination. The user, replies to this prompt by typing the allowed time on the keypad 140 and pressing the ENTER key.
As the user types in the input data, it is immediately displayed for verification on the LCD display. If, prior to pressing the ENTER key, the user wishes to alter the data which she has typed in, then the user may clear the display, by depressing the CLEAR key, and retype the correct data. After the user is satisfied that the data has been typed correctly, she may depress the ENTER key to enter the data into device 100. After all of the required data has been entered, the microprocessor will display the average time allocated for each question.
The user then waits until the test, or practice test, begins, at which time the user depresses the START/RESUME key to begin the electronic pacing. At this point, there will be displayed, starting with question number 1, the number of that question which the user should currently be trying to solve. This question number will be continuously incremented to properly pace the user. If the user wants to take a break during a practice session, she may press the PAUSE key thereby temporarily halting the pacing process. By depressing the START/RESUME key the user may resume pacing herself.
During practice drills, a user may choose to enter longer than usual time periods to complete sample tests thereby slowing down the practice pace. As the user improves her test taking skills, she may gradually increase the practice pace.
In a different embodiment, shown in FIG. 4, reference numeral 200 refers to another hand held electronic pacing device. Device 200 is also self-contained, battery operated, and portable. It comprises among other elements, a watch case housing 210, a keypad 220, a set of five function keys "a"-"e", a digital time display 230, an LCD display 250 for data input, a separate LCD display 240 for indicating a possible answer response, and an LED warning light 270. In addition, encased within the housing 210 are a microprocessor, an electronic timing clock and a counter, all of which have been previously described with respect to the embodiment of FIG. 2.
The watch case housing 210 and the microprocessor contained within, together with the timing clock and the digital time display 230, cooperate to allow the embodiment of FIG. 4 to additionally function as a watch. The technology involved in this function is well known and need not be described in further detail herein. Including a wrist band with this particular embodiment of the present invention allows the user to conveniently wear and use this device like an ordinary wrist watch. While this embodiment discloses a watch case housing to allow the inclusion of a watch band for convenience, the present invention may also be realized in the embodiment of a hand held calculator in which case the housing would be suitably configured and the microprocessor appropriately programmed.
The microprocessor of device 200 is also programmed to work with the timing clock and the counter to control the pacing function of the present invention. Together, these elements cooperate to display prompts to the user; to store various numerical inputs provided by the user; to make calculations; to provide a warning signal; and to pace a user taking an examination by displaying, on the LCD display 250, the number of the question that said user should be trying to solve at any given time. These specific functions, as well as the sequence in which they are performed, have been described above with respect to the embodiment of FIG. 2.
The keypad 220 of this embodiment is identical to the keypad of the embodiment of FIG. 2 which has been described above. It too, has an upper portion including keys for the numerals 0 through 9, a CLEAR key C, and an ENTER key E, as well as a lower portion with an ON key O, a START/RESUME key R, a PAUSE key P, and an OFF key F.
The embodiment of FIG. 4 is specifically applicable to multiple choice examinations because of its "best guess" mode of operation. In particular, the microprocessor of this embodiment is also programmed to keep track of the answers to questions as the test progresses and based upon this data to provide a statistical "best guess" for the answer to the next unanswered question. This "best guess" aspect of the invention is further described below, but the specific technology involved is well known in the art thereby rendering illustrations and additional description of such technology unnecessary to understand the subject matter of this invention.
Standard multiple choice tests typically have four or five possible answers to each question. Thus, five function keys a, b, c, d, and e, corresponding to five possible answers, are utilized to implement the "best guess" mode of this specific embodiment. As each question is answered, the examinee depresses the function key that corresponds to the correct answer. The microprocessor keeps a separate numerical count for each of these five possible answers. These counts are not necessarily provided on any of the displays, but rather, they are held in memory. As the test progresses, the answer that has occurred the least number of times is displayed on the LCD display 240 as the "best guess" for the next question. When the examinee is unsure of an answer she may wish to use the "best guess" answer as her choice. The examinee may do this as she proceeds with the test, or she may skip all of the questions of which she is unsure of the answer and fill them in with the "best guess" answer at the end of the test. The techniques for cumulating counts in memory and for determining the smallest of a group of counts are well known and need not be described in detail.
The LED warning light 160 of this specific embodiment is set to begin flashing at some predetermined time before the end of an examination. While this embodiment utilizes a warning light, other suitable warning indicators may be used instead.
Device 200 will be of particular benefit to any student or examinee taking a multiple choice test. In particular, by displaying the question number which the user should be working on at any given time, this embodiment allows the examinee to budget her time with respect to each individual question. Because multiple choice tests generally comprise a large number of questions to be answered in a relatively short time, the examinee is expected to spend some small fractional number of minutes on each question. Thus, this invention, with its "question number" pacing display, allows precise question by question time monitoring which is not easily achieved with an ordinary wristwatch. Finally, this embodiment of the present invention also provides the examinee with a "best guess" answer which may be used whenever the examinee is unsure of an answer.
The user begins by entering the number of test questions and the time allotted for completing the test in the same way as has been described above with respect to the embodiment of FIG. 2. The user may also start, pause, and resume the electronic pacing feature by depressing the appropriate keys on the lower portion of keypad 220. Thereafter, electronic pacing on a question by question basis proceeds in the same manner as it does in the embodiment of FIG. 2.
To implement the "best guess" mode however, an examinee must utilize the function keys specific to this embodiment of the invention. In this mode of operation, after answering each question, the examinee presses the function key corresponding to the correct answer for that question. As the microprocessor cumulates counts on the different answer choices, it displays, on the LCD display 240, that answer choice which has occurred least often. Assuming that the correct answer choices are evenly, or randomly, distributed among all of the questions, it is to be expected that those correct answer choices that have occurred least often among the questions already answered are more likely to occur in the remaining group of unanswered questions. Thus, this bias toward under represented answer choices within any remaining unanswered group of questions is displayed as a "best guess" answer. While this embodiment discloses only one "best answer," other variations on this theme (e.g. displaying the distribution of all previous answer choices) would do just as well.
Naturally, the present invention may be realized in many other embodiments. Of particular interest are those embodiments that allow simultaneous use by groups of students and examinees. In one embodiment, for example, the invention may be in the form of a wall clock with a large display screen for use in a classroom during training sessions or in an auditorium where an examination is being administered. In this case, the data specific to the test being administered would be entered by one of the people supervising the test. In another embodiment meant for simultaneous use by many examinees, the present invention may take the form of a specially programmed computer with multiple terminals. In this case, the test questions would be displayed, one at a time, on each terminal. After an examinee answers a particular question, the next question would be displayed on her individual terminal screen so that each examinee could progress through the test at her own pace. However, in accordance with the present invention, a small display window on the terminal screen would continually pace the examinee by displaying the number of the question that an examinee following a steady and uniform pace should be currently trying to solve.
Thus, an improved electronic pacing device has been disclosed. The present invention permits a student, examinee, or other person to prepare for and take tests more easily than has been previously been possible.
Regarding the above description, it should be realized that the precise relationships shown and described may be readily altered in varying degrees while achieving the essential objectives of the invention. Furthermore, numerous modifications of the housing and configurations shown and described, will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Such changes may include using different types of display screens, keypad mechanisms, and warning indicators. It is therefore, not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents are intended to be encompassed by the present invention, the scope of which is indicated by the appended claims.

"Taken together, this collection lends its considerable weight to ways of reading Seneca that have been considered risky or even insupportable for too long, and that is all to the good. " --BCMR
Book Description
Many modern critics have treated Seneca as an innovator in historical understandings of 'selfhood' and self-awareness. This volume of essays by internationally well-known scholars promises to reshape our understanding of Seneca, and to establish once and for all his place as a student of the human psyche.

One way to avoid a sabotage is to subit yourself to the Lord, to the ones He has put over you in leadership, and one to another. Watch and listen to the Word of the Lord!

WA: Nationals Almost Win Chair Sniffer's Seat In By-Election
A BY-ELECTION YESTERDAY in the seat vacated by former Western Australian Treasurer and "chair sniffer" Troy Buswell has seen the Liberal Party run very close by its National Party partners in the ultra-conservative electorate of Vasse; despite the absence of a Labor candidate, the result underlines the fall from public favour of Colin Barnett's government, and serves as a warning to the WA Liberals near the halfway point of its second term. 558 more words

Google has made a number of overtures toward the gaming industry within the past month. In early July, reports surfaced that Google had committed $100 million to $200 million to Farmville creator Zynga, a cornerstone to Facebook's online casual games sector. Two weeks later, the Wall Street Journal reported that Google was actively courting a number of casual game developers for its rumored Facebook-competing social networking service, Google Me.
Into August, and Google hosted a full-blown Think Gaming summit, an analyst event in which the search-engine giant outlined the areas where it saw opportunities in the gaming space. And while the contents of that presentation remain under lock and key, event attendee and Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian did offer some insight into Google's position on gaming.
Sebastian believes that a gaming push from Google presents a solid opportunity to drive growth for the company's smartphone OS Android, Web browser Chrome, and online purchasing hub Google Checkout. In particular, the search giant would most benefit from the social component of these casual games, where users could easily be lured to the company's various other products. Sebastian said that he also expects Google to launch an App Store within the Chrome browser.
The industry analyst also believes that a wider adoption of games by Google will help the search giant stave off the growing threat of Facebook, which itself is seeking a head of game industry relations. Sebastian went so far as to call the adoption of games a "strategic necessity" for Google, saying 40 percent of the time the some 500 million users of Facebook spend on the site is used to play games.

Landhotel Altes Wasserwerk: Lovely stay, outside of the town walls, Freinsheim
In summer 2011, when I met VTer Lucy from Australia during her trip to Germany for a weekend trip to Palatinate, my original plan was to book us rooms in this hotel for all three nights, but unfortunately they only had space for Lucy's last night. So I found an alternative at Waldhaus Wilhelm near Maikammer for the first two nights. But I wanted this last night here because it was in easier reach of a train station for Lucy and I also wanted to check out a hotel in Freinsheim, which is not only a lovely village but also a good base for exploring the northern part of Palatinate, with easy reach of Speyer and the Palatinate Forest.
Was it worth it? I'd say yes. The hotel is located in a former waterworks, hence the name. It consists of two buildings, the main one for reception and lobby and the breakfast room with winter garden, as well as meeting rooms. The other one has the rooms, on three floors, the upper floor with pitched roof. Our rooms were in this building, on different floors, but all overlooking the garden with sun chairs and sun beds. My room was equipped with a double bed (two mattresses), chaise longue, table and chairs, desk, TV and a bathroom with shower and bath tub, and a hair dryer, plus little cosmetic amenities. I liked my room, especially with its colour scheme of red and orange. The rooms were quiet, but I expected this with their location facing the backside and garden of the house.
Breakfast was ample, served in continental buffet style: bread and rolls, yoghurt, marmalade and jam, cold cuts with cheeses, sausages and ham, cereal, freshly squeezed orange juice, eggs of choice and coffee or tea of choice.
In July 2011 we paid 63 Euro for each room, single occupancy. Credit card payment was possible.
In the meantime, the hotel offers WLAN "on most of the premises" (that's what the website says). Sadly the site is in German only.

Waldhaus Wilhelm: Peaceful haven in the Palatinate forest
This hotel is a peaceful haven on the eastern slopes of Palatinate Forest, on the way to its highest peak, Kalmit. I found it via Google Earth when I was looking up a place to stay during my three days round trip with VTer Lucy from Perth. I immediately liked the hotel website and the prices were reasonable. When I called to book our rooms, one of the owners, Marlies Stoesser, was very helpful and cheerful, typical Palatinate mentality. But website photos and phone calls are only one side of a medal, the reality was much better! The location of Waldhaus Wilhelm is priceless! Stairs from the road with parking for restaurant guests lead up through a beautiful garden. The whole house is surrounded by garden and forest. We were cheerfully greeted by the other owner, Günther Wilhelm, and received our keys. Our rooms were small but spacious enough for single rooms. From the small hallway with spacious cabinet and a large mirror is the door to the bathroom with shower, toilet and sink. The room itself with windows to the south and views onto the opposite forest hills had a bed, desk, table, TV and chairs. I especially liked the colour concept: pastel pink walls, dark turquoise furniture and curtains with flower motif. The bed was firm and the bedclothes soft and fragrant. I remember that I saw a sign that they use material which is proved to be anti-allergic. My two nights were very pleasant and peaceful. No noise at all and the birds woke me up in the morning. I like this since at home, Frankfurt airport's departing planes wake me up...
Breakfast next morning was large and ample. Everything we could wish for was nicely displayed on a buffet: fresh bread and rolls, boiled eggs, marmalade (including homemade ones from the region), honey, cold cuts, cheese, Palatinate specialties (like blood sausage and liver sausage), several cereals, yoghurt, fruit, homemade cake and freshly squeezed fruit juices. We could choose several teas (black tea, herbal teas, Rooibos teas) and coffees (espresso, latte macchiato, cappuccino and milk coffee).
The reasons why I like this hotel so much are manifold. First it is the peaceful location, the very pleasant atmosphere and the nice and so helpful owners. And their restaurant definitely exceeded my expectations! I already plan my next stay there. The owners offer many special arrangements throughout the whole year. Only a portion of these are displayed on the website. The arrangements are season related or theme related and cover accommodation and dinner. And they are excellent value! (I don't like to use the word bargain here, because the word has a negative touch to me). In early January for example, they offer what they call "peaceful winter days", 5 nights and 5 dinners for 240 Euro per person, which makes is 48 Euro per person per day for bed and dinner!
Dogs are allowed, they even have an own dog, Paul, of the size of a Bernese mountain dog.
Make sure you reserve rooms! When I called short notice the owner was hesitating first and told me that they are fully booked but luckily asked what I would need. When I said two single rooms she said yes, that would not be a problem! So it seems that the double rooms are more likely to be fully booked.
Oh and I must mention that despite the hotel being located at the road up to Kalmit (hilltop), the traffic seems not to be heavy. I would have expected motorbikes on the weekend mornings but didn't hear any. I think this is because this road is not the main road up to the hilltop.
In Maikammer, take the road L515 direction Kalmit. The hotel is located a few metres after the forest begins.

La Bohème: Life on board
A river ship like La Bohème is naturally long and narrow, so the large public rooms are located at either end of the Upper Deck. The lounge bar at the front of the ship was a particularly nice space, with large windows offering great views all around, comfortable seating and of course a bar! The system for buying drinks though is a little odd. You have to buy a card for either €15 or €50, which you then present each time you make a purchase. The sum you have spent is deducted by the simple method of crossing out boxes with different values in them, until the card is full, at which point you have to buy another one. This worked OK for us at first, as we bought a €50 card, but after the first day or so only the lower priced cards were sold, and buying a round for four of us at a time meant that we had to buy a card almost every time. We found ourselves wondering why we couldn't just pay for the drinks!
The restaurant was at the rear and was large enough to seat all the passengers at one sitting (just – it was a little cramped perhaps). I have said more about the meals and meal arrangements in my separate Restaurant tip.
The other main public space was the Sun Deck, which as the name suggests is an open deck on top of the ship with lots of loungers for sunbathing and other seating. Luckily some of it is shaded, as the sun was intense during the day – and in fact we spent more time in the air-conditioned lounge than here. It was great for taking photos however, and lovely at night.
Apart from these spaces, the ship had a tiny souvenir shop (only open for an hour each morning) and reception area, and little else. All the other space was given over to cabins. So don't expect life on board this ship to be like that on the big cruise liners. There were a few organised activities (quizzes and games in the bar, gentle exercises on the Sun Deck each morning), but mostly this is about relaxing and watching the beautiful castles, villages and hills sail past as you sip a coffee or something stronger in the bar, or catch some rays up on the Sun Deck.

La Bohème: Our home from home
Our accommodation was, naturally, on board our ship, La Bohème. It has capacity for 164 passengers in 80 cabins. These are distributed over two decks, Upper and Main, with those on the Upper Deck costing around £100 more per person. We had hoped to get one of these for my mother in law, as the Main Deck is below and she is not great at stairs, but we could only get Main Deck cabins and as it turned out she coped very well.
Apart from location, and the fact that some had a double bed and some two twins, all the cabins seemed to be identical. There is not a lot of space as these river ships are necessarily quite narrow, but there are all the basic facilities you need carefully fitted into that space – some cupboard space and under-bed storage, a safe, wall-mounted TV (which as the ship is a French one had both French and German channels), small desk and the bed itself. The latter was on the small side and not the most comfortable I have slept in, especially when combined with the engine noise on the nights when we were sailing. On the plus side, all the cabins have a good sized window and all are well above the waterline, so views of the passing scenery are good – although on the couple of nights when we moored alongside other ships we had to keep our curtains closed as our window looked directly into that of the passengers opposite! And another big plus in the heat-wave that Germany was experiencing just then was the efficient and adjustable air-conditioning.
The compact (some might say tiny!) bathroom is designed on a wet room basis, making good use of what little space there is. The shower was good and shower gel provided, but no other toiletries.
All in all we were pretty happy with our little base for the journey, and as we spent relatively little time there the small size was not an issue.

Menschels Vital Resort: A puzzling place
My mother and I went to the very small village of Meddersheim. I had looked for a hotel or a B&B there and found the Menschels Vital Resort. It is the only hotel there, so I booked it.
Again I had asked for a room on ground floor, but when I checked in we were given two singles in second floor, 45! steps( I counted them ) up and no lift. I said there was no way my mother could manage this,I didn't mind the second floor, but it was simply impossible for my mother. All of a sudden a very nice single was available, in a separate building without any steps at all.
I got a room on second floor, a double for single use. The bedroom was quite large, but the bathroom seemed to have been in a wardrobe, it was long and narrow and surprisingly there was a steep step up to it.
We were asked if we planned to eat in the restaurant. There is the choice of three different main courses, but no separate menu and also no prices. I asked how much dinner was and nobody could tell me, something "between 25 and 35 Euro" I was told. Again the same kind of vagueness which I had encountered when I had asked about a room on ground floor. Everybody was very friendly, but nobody seemed to know exactly what was going on.
We also had to choose between three different times to eat, 18:30,19:30 and 20:30.(This reminded me of a clinic , not of a hotel.)
Only organic food is used and our dinner was fantastic.First course was a carrot soup, then I had eggplant and tofu, my mother had potatoes and yams with cheese and nuts. Dessert was home-made icecream. Everything was very good, but even considering the higher prices of organic food I found 25 Euro - that's what it turned out to be - too much. We had a very good local wine with our dinner. Meddersheim is in the Nahe region, one of the best wine growing regions in Rheinland-Pflaz.
Breakfast was equally good. It was included in the room rate, but here I think it was worth more than 20 Euro. There was a large buffet with lots of organic cereal, cheeses,jams, freshly pressed juices, several sorts of bread, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs... There was even an extra table for people with lactose intolerance.
This is puzzling place. A mixture between a hotel and a clinic, with lots of extras like yoga courses, massages,a gym, guided walks etc. There is a doctor in the building and I'm still not sure if the people staying there are considered patients or hotel guests.
We saw mostly elderly people, many with walking problems and using canes or walkers, but no lift. Even to get to the breakfast room you need to walk three steps.
Since this used to be an old mansion with several barns and other buildings, which all had to be renovated, I don't understand why no lift has been added.
The old park is beautiful, large, old trees, I even heard a nightingale singing.Just for the park alone I would like to stay there longer.

Badische Kellerey in Kastellaun: Sleeping in the old Vicarage
Kastellaun is a small town in the Hunsrück mountains. Techno fans will have heard of it, as the Nature One festival is held near-by. It's also quite close to Hahn airport.
I had booked three singles in the Hotel Badische Kellerey, a hotel consisting of a newer and an older building.One of the rooms needed to be accessible without many steps, as my mother has problems with stairs.The owner did her best to make our stay comfortable. The only ground floor room is in the old building, which used to be the old vicarage. There are a few steps up into the building, though.
The ground floor room was large, a double room for single use, with wide doors and a large bathroom.
The singles are all in the modern building, but the owner said she was sure we'd all like to stay in the same building, so I got another double for single use and my sister even got a huge family room. A very nice gesture!
The old vicarage is an old house, and the floors were creaking and the furniture is not the most modern. But it was comfortable and the bathrooms were modern and I rather have a modern shower and an old bed than vice versa.
We really enjoyed our stay there.
Breakfast consisted of a buffet, cheese, cold cuts, jams etc. We were asked if and how we wanted our eggs, they were freshly cooked as we wanted them. I was even given the choice between two kinds of black tea, something I didn't expect in such a small town.
Breakfast was included in the very reasonable rate, my mother even got a senior citizen's discount.
We also had dinner in the restaurant, it was excellent.That's a hotel and a restaurant I can really recommend.

Hotel Domhof: Speyer Domhof excellent value on Sundays
When I was in Speyer some time ago, I fell in love with this beautiful hotel when I saw this beautiful entrance. All is covered with wild wine, looking lovely and cosy. I was so amazed to read that they have special offers for the nights from Sundays to Mondays: 50% off all rooms ! It was only logical that I timed our recent visit in Speyer so that we could stay in this marvellous hotel for half the price.
The staff is very helpful, very efficient. You can arrange everything via phone or email, including paying with your credit card. The hotel itself is a gem, just look at the photos! We were out in the town during the day, had dinner in a restaurant nearby, so we could not take advantage of the nice seating in the courtyard, but it must be a pleasure sit here and forget the world in spring, summer and autumn.
The rooms are spacious, mine (a single room) had a large bed, TV and mini-bar. The bathroom is spacious as well, and has all you need (including hair dryer).
The price includes buffet style breakfast, and it was so difficult to decide what to eat. You have the choice of different kind of cereals, eggs (your style), marmalade, Nutella (the nut spread), butter and margarine, a large variety of cheese and cold cuts, a variety of fresh fruits, yoghurts and all kind of bread (including freshly made bread rolls). They serve coffee, orange juice, tomato juice and multivitamin juice as well. And you can select your tea among 20 different tastes (green, black and herb tea).
Yes, it was a very wonderful experience, and I am already planning my next stay here (as a Christmas gift for my parents, to invite them here for the next asparagus season).
One remark though: The hotel is very close to the Cathedral. The Cathedral has very beautiful carillons. And… they ring every 15 minutes. I am used to background noise (I still live close to Frankfurt Airport), but if you are not used to noise, bring earplugs to make your stay here enjoyable :-).
In October 2006 I paid 49 Euro for a single room at the special Sunday rate. Regular price would have been 92 Euro. Doubles at the Sunday rate were 56 Euro, regular price 112 Euro.
Update, April 2015:
the hotel has updates their website, the Sunday night special is no longer listed but it is still available (I called reception). Current prices for rooms at the regular prices: 101 Euro for a single room, 125 or 145 Euro for double room.
They also offer all different kind of special arrangements, like Christmas and New Year specials, honeymoon specials, brewery specials, winter specials, Easter specials, etc.

Big choice and good
Rheinland Pfalz. One of my favourite places to visit.
My favourite wandering area in Germany is the Südlicheweinstrasse (Southern wine route) in Rheinland-Pfalz. Reinland-Pfalz is the warmest corner of the country. It has the largest and oldest mixed forest in Europe. A wine tasting and traditional home-cooking paradise. Wine festival time is Whitsuntide and September.
The vineyards run for miles along pleasantly undulating hills in the shadow of the forest. Small villages are nestled in the valleys and on top of the hills. Each village has it's wine and food delights.
Our favourite place to stay is Rhodt (http://www.rhodt-unter-rietburg.de/ ), a charming, relaxing, friendly village with a good selection of tipples to try..
Beautiful countryside, friendly people, good food, good wines, not commercialised.
Every village has a large selectionof guesthouses, reasonably priced. Many allow dogs (the last charged Euro 1,00/night extra :-).

My Top4 Castle-hotels: along the river Rhine
Schlosshotel Schönburg
is my Number one as it is certainly one of the very best and most exclusive castle-hotels along the river Rhine. The old castle dates back to the 10th century and today the castle is used partly as a luxury hotel and in a sidewing as a "Kolpingheim / hostel" and a hotel next to the castle.
Schlosshotel Schönburg in Oberwesel has a great terrace with a perfect view of the Rhine-valley. You have to leave your car at the parking and your luggage will be taken with a small truck to the hotel. all of the great rooms are facing the river and also the restaurant is well known for its perfect cuisine...NO train-noises here at all!
--- --- --- --- ---
Hotel Burg Liebenstein
is an interesting hotel in Kamp-Bornhofen at the right bank of the river Rhine, about 60 km downstream from Ruedesheim or 15km upstream from Koblenz, and it offers a great panoramaview and lots of possibilities to hike.
The castle-hotel is quite remote and it offers a fews great rooms at reasonable prices - just click on the link below !
I was there in early april, the week before easter and there were just a very few guests, as the street going up is quite steep. They have a great interior with several old Iron armouries, an open fireplace and lovely furniture
Kamp-Bornhofen is about 15km upstream from Koblenz, on the right bank of the river Rhine
--- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Reichenstein Castle
dates back to the 11th century. In the 13th century the castle belonged to one of the most dangerous robber-barons, and as the castle had such an important position in the Rhine-valley, the emperor decided to destruct the castle and set the robber-baron into prison. It lasted 4 years to get hold of him and he was finally "made one head shorter" , as we say it in German...
Today Castle Reichenstein is a great hotel, high above the valley and almost no noise of the train-line will get to your sleepingroom. You may also visit a museum there in another part of the castle-ruins !
And last but not least the most beautiful and most scenic Castle-Hotel along the river Rhine is a HOSTEL & Jugendherberge:
Jugendherberge Burg Stahleck
is a perfect place to stay for young people and for families ! A stay in Burg Stahleck might be the highlight for your vacation in the Rhine- and Mosel-valley, in case that you are a budget-traveller and have to search for a cheap price of your accomodation. Burg Stahleck offers a perfect panorama-view over the Rhine-valley at moderate prices - see the link to their webpage !
They have laundry-facilities for their guests and as a hostel-guest you may even use the great table-tennis at one of the terraces - see my pictures !
Burg Stahleck may be explored by everyone - you may enter the castle freely and without restrictions. !!

Tom Barry, last updated: February 02, 2005The neoconservative Project for the New American Century (PNAC) has signaled its intention to continue shaping the government's national security strategy with a new public letter stating that the "U.S. military is too small for the responsibilities we are asking it to assume." Rather than reining in the imperial scope of U.S. national security strategy as set forth by the first Bush administration, PNAC and the letter's signatories call for increasing the size of America's global fighting machine.
