Historical Traveler Reviews Regent Petite France & Spa Strasbourg
Worth the extra $
Stayed here for one night at the beginning of our Alsace trip, and one night at the end of our Alsace trip. Service and rooms were fabulous, especially room size and view for the $, compared to other hotels in Europe. Very nice atmosphere without being snobby. For one of the nights we stayed in a deluxe room which had an excellent view of the Ill River. The location is also great, and walkable to everything. Staff went out of their way to be friendly, and to respond to our needs (ie: we forgot a European electrical adaptor, asked the front desk where we could go and buy one...and they presented us with a box of dozens that had been left behind --we could help ourselves). Bellman went out of his way to recomment restaurants, etc in the area. We'd definitely go back to both Strasbourg and this hotel!
A special hotel
An Excellent hotel in a beautiful location close to lots of great restaurants and shops. We had a deluxe room with two walkout window/doors onto a beautiful balcony over the river Ill. The room is huge with a king size bed and separate bath from the toilet. All amenities that you would expect from a 4 star hotel including airconditioning and very nice breakfast,even with scrambled eggs and sausages! I got my best deal at the time on the web site (---),but you can also write them directly and get a great deal. The web site gave me the price with everything including taxes and fees and there were no surprises when we paid as we left.
Best Hotel in Strasbourg
I've come to Strasbourg on business many times and stayed in many of its hotels, but indeed none compares to this lovely hotel in the historical centre of Strasbourg, near the World Heritage area of Petite France. Every room is different and the service is really friendly. For eating I recommend the many restaurants around the hotel, most of which predate the 16th century.
Best in town.
We stayed in this hotel recently and were very pleased with our experience. After a little confusion about our reservation, the general manager gave us what must have been one of the better rooms because it was very large with a separate seating area and had many windows with amazing views of the river and the locks. It is very well situated within walking distance to almost everything in town and offers very convenient valet parking in a city with a bit of a parking problem. Room service and the restaurant are standard for France (i.e fabulous compared to anywhere else!), but, this town has so many great restaurants anyway. It's, clearly, the best place in town.
Fabulous hotel. Request room above running water bridge
After our cramped, but nice hotel room in Paris, the Regent Petite France was a revelation. Our deluxe queen room was just that -- deluxe. The room was almost as big as the whole first floor of our 3 star hotel in Paris! The bathrooms have many amenities (heated towel rack, lots of toiletries, hairdryer, magnifying mirror, two sinks, etc.) and the bed was to die for...very comfortable with fitted sheets above and below the top blanket. The hotel staff was wonderfully helpful; setting up dinner reservations and taxi service. We went through Expedia and got a VERY good rate on this hotel. Thankfully, Strasbourg is not as heavily traveled as some other destinations in France, but I can unequivocally say that it is one of the more beautiful...particularly the old city region.
Very good
A modern hotel in a great location, restaurant good bedrooms a bit "trying too hard" but all in all I would recommed this hotel if your in Strasbourg
The best hotel to stay in in Strassbourg
Contrary to Frommers, who rated the Hilton as the best htel, I think The Regent Petit France easily outclasses it. I have stayed at the Hilton, the Sofitel and various others but would take the Regent always as first preference (but sometimes it's full due to EC meetings if I can't book early enough). I noted however that the service in the weekends, when staying there privately, seems to be a lit less than during the week. Rooms are really wonderful and always a suprise in terms of decoration and art.
Great Location
Just returned from 3 nights at the Regent Petite France. It is located in the heart of the Petite France region of the city, which we found absolutely charming. Particularly liked the hanging flower baskets on many window ledges and even canal railings. The hotel staff was generally very helpful and courteous. Rooms vary considerably, but our 2 rooms (the bottom category) were fairly large and quite comfortable.
The restaurant had limited fare and was quite costly, but there is no shortage of nice restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The breakfast buffet that was included in the price was adequate -- nothing fancy. On nice days you can take a book onto the beautiful 2nd-floor terrace. The Cathedral is roughly a 10-15 minute walk.

The situation in America for many people of faith is growing intolerable. And it will only get worse unless we stand up for our constitutionally protected rights.
Contrary to what many Americans seem to think, the definition of marriage has not been decided by our Supreme Court. No. It has not been decided because the Supreme Court has no mandate to make such a decision. It is not the place of any court to legislate the definition of a fundamental cultural institution like marriage.
As a Catholic, I could follow many other Christians and weigh in here by insisting that God has given us the definition of marriage. But I will not, and never have, followed this line of debate with secular Americans. Because, simply, I do not intend to impose my own definition on them. I recognize that the definition I believe in is founded in religious and cultural traditions that they themselves might not agree to.
But in the same manner, the definition of marriage now preferred by secular Americans is not final and absolute. This is so because marriage for any given culture can only be decided by that culture as a whole. And for myself, as I've argued elsewhere (see Appendix below), this "as a whole" really must mean the whole of the people.
When 98% of Americans recognize that a man can marry a man, I also will acknowledge that American culture has basically abandoned its previous definition of marriage. But we are nowhere near such unanimity at present. What we have instead, obviously, is a situation in which the definition of marriage remains contested. It is contested between two rough camps, one of which sees marriage as always between a man and a woman, the other of which claims that it can also be between people of the same sex.
Neither side can be judged to be definitively right if we are to remain true to our ideals as a liberal and pluralist society.
The implications are clear. As follows: None of the contestants in our current complex battle over marriage should be discriminated against by the law. This means that the ascendant culture, represented by the Supreme Court's Obergefell decision, has no right to force Americans to agree with it that these now legally recognized marriages are actually marriages. Which entails, in turn, that those who refuse to cater to these "marriages", either in speech or in business practice, must not be prosecuted or forced by law to do so. If they are to be "discriminated against" in any way, let them be discriminated against by neighbors or future customers who might of their own accord decline to befriend them or patronize their businesses. That would be within the bounds of reason. But the state itself must not force them to recognize gay marriages by fining them or running them out of business or requiring them to undergo "diversity training".
I would say, further, that school boards, universities or companies must not take any action against such citizens that might threaten their careers, because, just as it is illegal for someone to fire a citizen on the grounds that he or she is a Christian or a Muslim or a lesbian, so it should be illegal to fire someone for holding firm to their belief about marriage, which belief is of crucial importance to many people of faith.
To refuse to bake a cake for or photograph a gay wedding is not discrimination against homosexuals as such. It is rather a refusal to recognize the newly proposed definition of marriage. As I've argued elsewhere, if a bartender were to say to a customer "I won't serve you because you're gay", this should be seen as a very wrongful kind of discrimination and that bartender should be subject to legal consequences. Because everyone has the right to order a drink. All customers should be equal. But that same bartender, if he were to say, "I'm very willing to serve you drinks at my bar, but under no circumstances would I be willing to cater your wedding"--if he were to say this, he should be fully protected by our law.
And what law is that? The kind of law that should already have been passed in all fifty states: a religious liberty protection law (an RFRA law) that would give defendants some legal standing to argue in state courts that forcing them to participate in same-sex marriages is an intrusive burden on their sincerely held religious belief. This is the bare minimum, and this is what we would have if the wisdom of the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 were being followed at the state level. Such laws are not about discrimination, regardless of the way the mainstream media is painting them. They protect Americans of many different faiths in their freedom to pursue their established religious practices.
Personally, as I say, I believe such RFRA laws to be the bare minimum. But the level of rancor and the social disharmony starting to be felt impels me to suggest an even more direct legal route. Since marriage is so deeply contested in our polity, what we need are laws that stipulate something such as the following: No fines or suits shall be levied against any business, religious organization or private citizen based on differing definitions of marriage.
Such a law would firmly uphold our Constitution (see the arguments put forth by Damon Linker and Yuval Levin). Such a law would be simple, clear in scope, and would protect the millions of American citizens who have very solid reasons for not recognizing these new "marriages". And although those solid reasons may sometimes coincide with, they are not, as LGBT activists routinely claim, grounded in animus against gay or lesbian individuals.
Isn't that clear enough already? Many of the most prominent cases where individuals are being sued or run out of business involve people who hadn't previously refused service to gays or lesbians. Isn't it clear that this is not a matter of animus against gay people but a matter of a religiously grounded refusal of a competing definition of marriage?
Now one may come back and argue: "Hey, you said everyone has the right to have a drink at a bar. So, isn't it also true that everyone has a right to get married? Aren't you saying here that some people don't have the right to get married?"
I'm not saying that at all. Indeed, everyone has the right to get married. It is the definition of marriage that is at issue. A gay man may retain a right to get married, but if he isn't able to conform to the definition of marriage, as being a bond between a man and a woman, that is not the bartender's problem. That is a matter of the gay man's own inclinations. And those inclinations do not enter into the definition of marriage subscribed to by the religious bartender--a definition, besides, that in its essentials has been upheld by every culture in the history of our species.
One may likewise argue that everyone has a right to be a mother. Motherhood is a good thing, a natural and eternal thing, and everyone should have the right to it. Fine and good. But myself, as a man, I unfortunately can't exercise this right. It is the definition, in the one case, of marriage, and in the other, of mother. (No one should find my analogy here outlandish either. It would not surprise me in the least if in future decades technology allowed the possibility of men becoming "mothers". I would consider that possibility one that shouldn't be taken up--but who's to say what others might think? In fact I'm sure there are men out there right now who would thrill at the chance of being able to carry a baby to term inside their medically altered bodies. But I'm not going to be among those in favor of legalizing the practice. I guess I'm a bigot, huh?)
To conclude: Religious liberty protection laws are needed now. These laws are needed to erect a wall of protection around millions of Americans whose livelihoods risk being taken from them over what is, as I argue, a currently contested issue.
Let the contest continue, by all means. But the state, if it is a truly American state, must not take definitive sides.
What chance is there at present of enacting such protection laws? There is perhaps some chance of success if Christians and others who believe in traditional marriage organize themselves and demand that their elected representatives push for such laws--or else.
Or else what? Or else: "We won't turn up on election day."
If put in the form of a written pledge, delivered to the representative to sign, this might constitute a threat with some teeth. It's not that the voters behind the pledge would vote for the other side. No. Rather it's: Getting no support from either party on this important issue, we won't vote at all.
For elected officials of the party that supposedly stands for traditional family values, pushing for such laws, making a fight out of it, is the very least they could do. And if enough state legislatures were to enact such laws, the threat from corporations (presently so eager to capitalize on the popularity of all things gay and to threaten boycotts against all who do not join in singing the praises of what Rod Dreher aptly calls "the Joy of Caitlyn Thought")--these threats would not finally materialize.
Or perhaps: Facing down such threats would be worth it. Because something more important is at stake: namely, the religious liberty of tens of millions of Americans.
What should be the new normal after legalization of gay marriage is tragically not becoming a reality. Rather than reasonable laws that protect the deeply held beliefs of many, we are seeing state-sponsored persecution and predatory lawsuits. This is not American. Even many who support gay marriage are starting to recognize it: This is deeply un-American.
American Christians need to organize from within their churches and demand better from their elected representatives. And they better do it now as the next election cycle heats up.
If you believe in the traditional definition of marriage, make no mistake: things are difficult now, but they will almost certainly get worse, and get worse quickly, if we do not have the courage and wisdom to stand up for ourselves right now.
APPENDIX: How cultures validate marriages
I post the following to explain something of why I would insist the whole community must recognize marriages for them to be valid. I won't try to reproduce the debate context in which I made these remarks back in 2011, but post instead only part of my rebuttal to what I found were my opponent's reductive arguments as to what marriage is.
Right at the outset you try to get at the essence of marriage by saying it is "an agreement between two people". I think this fact that you take to be so obvious is crucial to where your argument goes subsequently. Now don't get me wrong here, I don't really disagree with you. Yes, marriage is always, in our America, an "agreement between two people". But still, I find this description only partial, and that if you use it as the definitive one, you will quickly, so to speak, throw the baby out with the bathwater.
In my thinking marriage is not so much an agreement as a status. It is a status shared by two people vis-a-vis society and God. You can even leave God out of it if you like, I think my point still stands. Marriage is not so much between two people as it is, first, between two people and, secondly, between that couple and society. What's more--again even if we leave God out of it--I think we can see here the importance of a kind of "sanctifying" in relation to marriage. Cultures everywhere, ours included, typically affirm the beginning of a couple's married life with a complex ritual. This universality of ritual demonstrates, I think, that marriage has an important communal element. And so I would argue: marriage is not simply an agreement between the two people marrying, and perhaps it is not even essentially such.
When you write[, evoking your disbelief in God,] that marriage is "sanctified . . . by a group . . . yet to be seen at a podium that can read a teleprompter", I find myself asking what you can possibly mean by "yet to be seen". You yourself chose to use the word "group"--because I think you acknowledge the communal element of marriage. To me it's obvious the pastors or priests or rabbis who perform the majority of marriages in our society do just this "teleprompter reading" when they conduct marriage ceremonies: they do it as spokesperson for the "group": i.e., the community gathered for the event. And they are present and visible. What I'm getting at here is this: Even if you don't believe in the God that is the ground of these religious systems, you still must recognize, anthropologically speaking, that this is a communal ritual meant to confer a certain status on the couple. Further, that the great majority of marriages still happen via these ancient rituals is just more evidence that, as I argue in my essay, the meaning of marriage pre-dates the modern state by a long shot. These rituals reach back centuries or millennia, as you know. Marriage, even our current understanding of marriage, is much older, and more primal, than the mere "registry of marriages" that our state governments provide in city halls across the country.
But then what does it mean to base your support for same-sex marriage on this state-sanctioned aspect of marriage that finds its most tangible form in a mere license (choice B in your dichotomy)? You seem finally to be arguing that marriage is just a matter of "two consenting adults" and "a license". For me, this is such a partial definition as to be almost meaningless. It fatally impoverishes one of the central institutions of our culture. You even choose at one point to evoke a fishing license as a kind of metaphoric parallel to marriage. I know, I know, you'll say that this is because here you're trying to stress the "non-holy" or merely "statutory" aspect of marriage, that in fact this is the whole point of choice B--namely, the state shouldn't "get involved" in issues that relate to the choice A aspect of marriage, the "special" or "holy" aspect. Well, I also believe in separation of church and state, but on this point, I think you're putting the cart before the horse--way before the horse. Because, in America, the state was not founded with a charter to establish the definition of marriage. That definition had already been established by the people the state was founded to serve. Yes, the state's business may have eventually extended to offering "marriage licenses", etc., but this doesn't change the fact: the state had no charter to impose either marriages or divorces upon the citizenry. The only instances otherwise would have been when the state enforced the divorce of accidentally married siblings (I don't know if this has happened in the US) or when the state outlawed Mormon polygamy. But this latter example only further proves my point: the state was there to support monogamous marriage as the only acceptable kind because this is what the American people had recognized from the beginning. In other words, in the Mormon case the state did what it was supposed to--it defended the marriages of the vast majority of citizens against a minority attempting to change the definition to suit their own new practice.
The idea, then, that the state is entitled to change the definition of marriage is wrong. Further, even if a slight majority of citizens were to vote for such a change it would still be wrong. Why so? Because marriage is a status recognized by the community; and in the case of state or federally licensed marriages, one must say: recognized by the community as a whole. Thus if even twenty or thirty percent remain unconvinced that a couple is viably married, this should be decisive in convincing the state not to license such a marriage. The license, after all, is not the marriage itself, but merely a recognition that the community acknowledges the marriage as real. And the community, in this case, is the whole of the citizenry, not a mere majority.
What we have, then, in the case of the "marriage equality" movement is an instance of a minority pressing a) an entirely novel definition of marriage that b) has zero historical precedent, and hoping to get it established in law by c) a majority of Yea votes, while ignoring d) the sizable percentage of Americans that, whether for religious or cultural reasons, will not regard such marriages as real. This, in short, is a serious impasse. And the state shouldn't go there. Because the state's business is only to recognize marriages recognized by the community--it is emphatically not to suggest that certain novel kinds of marriage be recognized by offering to license them.
Aside from the other problems I raise in my essay, I think this problem of tens of millions of American citizens who don't agree with this changed definition should already be enough to decide the issue.
It used to be the case, and doubtless still is in some churches, that the pastor conducting the ceremony would say: "Into this holy estate these two persons now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together--let them speak now or forever hold their peace." I think the case of same-sex marriage can be considered from this point of view. There are still far too many people who would stand up and say: "Sorry, but, er, yes, I do have reason these two should not be married. They're of the same sex." You might call this bigotry if you want, and in some cases it certainly is connected with bigotry, but usually it's simply a matter of our culture's idea of what marriage is.
If it some time comes about that 98 percent of the American population believes same-sex couples can be married, then we'd be talking about a different reality and my argument here would lose much of its force. Because 98 percent would amount to communal recognition. But this is nothing like American reality at present. And so I think: case closed.
Perhaps you can see by these remarks why I think your dichotomy A [marriage as a holy or sanctified bond] or B [marriage as a legal status offered and licensed by the state] can't really support your argument. Marriage in America is both A and B. Anthropologically speaking, the two "choices" can't be separated, so ultimately they aren't choices, and your attempt to argue for same-sex marriage by saying that marriage is mostly B doesn't hold up.
And it doesn't hold up on one further ground as well. If one were pressed to choose which of the two, A or B, the institution of marriage could live without, one would have to choose B. Because choice B, as I've shown, is little more than the state's recognition of a communal reality. It is nothing but a license. It says something about the merits of their arguments that those pushing for same-sex marriage have to lean so heavily on this choice B.
I can't help but feel, Steve, that in many of my remarks above I am not so much arguing against your points as I am raising aspects of marriage you already recognize but that you have decided, in the interests of the same-sex marriage debate, to put aside. You can do this maybe because these aspects don't much matter to you.

Castles for Shelter Cats
Roll over image to zoom in
Help make shelter cats more comfortable.
Shelters can be scary and stressful for many animals. Cats in shelters often live in small stainless steel cages with litter pans, food, water, and a towel or blanket. Although this certainly provides the basic physical needs, a setting of this nature is not comfortable for a cat that is already tense and confused in unfamiliar surroundings.
The Cat Castle provides a safe and secure area for the cat to relax, and minimizes the stress that comes with shelter life. Made in the U.S.A., the Cat Castle's bottom section is an enclosed space that has multiple ventilation holes and a 'drawbridge,' giving the cat ready access to a private, safe hiding place. The top section is a perfect surveillance point for cats that want to see what's going on in the shelter. The Cat Castle provides shelter cats with the opportunity to become familiar with new surroundings at their own pace, a process that is important for a cat's mental health.
When a shelter cat is adopted into a new family, the Cat Castle easily transforms into a secure cat carrier for transportation. The box can then be reassembled into the Castle format to provide a safe, familiar retreat that is already saturated with the cat's own scent, while the cat adjusts to her new setting peacefully. This is a much smoother transition than coming straight from the shelter with no familiar comfort.
You can help! Just $5.00 provides one Cat Castle to a shelter cat. Your generous donation will improve the well-being and happiness of a shelter cat waiting for the perfect forever home.
Cats R Cool™ is all about teaching people what we already know - that cats make great pets, excellent companions, and are full-fledged family members. We are working to dispel negative stereotypes and make the situation for shelter cats better through public education, shelter outreach, and grants.

An unusual point of view prevents this from ever turning into the standard biopic, but it's Eddie Redmayne's staggeringly committed performance as Stephen Hawking that makes the film unmissable. Based on the book by Stephen's wife Jane Hawking, the film uses her perspective to recount the events with their relationship firmly at the centre, which adds a personal angle the audience can engage with. This diverts the attention from Hawking's scientific breakthroughs, but makes the film both energetic and emotionally riveting.
It opens in 1963 when Stephen (Redmayne) is a rising-star at Cambridge, already a genius who thinks far outside the box. But he also has a sharp sense of humour, which makes it easy to see what Jane (Felicity Jones) sees in this brainy black-hole-obsessed geek. Then just as their relationship begins to get serious, he is diagnosed with motor neurone disease and given two years to live. Instead of giving up, Jane marries him and has three kids as Stephen defies the doctor's prognosis. As his physical condition deteriorates, they get help from two people who become unexpectedly close: widowed choir director Jonathan (Charlie Cox) and medical assistant Elaine (Maxine Peake). And even as their marriage comes apart under the pressure, Jane and Stephen remain deeply connected to each other.
Anthony McCarten's script cleverly lets big ideas swirl around each scene without swamping the more human story. The central factor in Stephen and Jane's interaction centres on faith: his in science, hers in God. Stephen continues to seek a theory that will scientifically explain the nature of existence, while Jane catches him out when he takes a leap of faith himself. And the film lets all of this play out through their interaction with a variety of terrific side characters, including Stephen's tutor (David Thewlis), his colleagues (Harry Lloyd and Enzo Cilenti), his father (Simon McBurney) and Jane's mother (Emily Watson). Each performance is packed with telling nuance, while Jones gives the film a textured heart and soul.

Director Danny Boyle is known for wildly imaginative visualsin innovative, gritty-cool movies about murderers ("Shallow Grave"),junkies ("Trainspotting")and zombies ("28 Days Later"), so what's he doing makinga sweet, sentimental kids' movie? Virtually reinventing another genre,of course.
In "Millions," an angel-faced 7-year-old Irishboy named Damian (Alexander Nathan Etel) finds a duffle bag full of bankrobbery loot, but thanks to his youthful naivete, his faith in saints thatwatch over him, his run-away imagination and the fact that the bag literallyfell from the sky, he assumes the booty is a gift from God.
"Who else has that kind of money?" he asks innocentlyof his more practical 9-year-old brother, who wants to keep the discoveryhush-hush and invest in real estate. But altruistic Damian sets about ona mission: He resolves to help the poor, excitedly buying pizza for homelessteenagers, secretly stuffing cash in the mailbox of austere-living Mormonneighbors, and anonymously donating £1,000 to an African charity fund atschool.

Job insecurity has its positives. It keeps us on our toes, forces us to think
out of the box, creates innovation. Instead of working some repetitive from the
time you graduate from college to the time you die you now have to create
something as repetitive tasks are being automated. You can think of it this way
- you get to choose between the person who automates the tasks and eliminates
other people's jobs or being the person whose job gets eliminated by
automation. A person with initiative will end up in the first category, a person
without in the second.

Queen photobombs Commonwealth Games athlete selfie
Jul 24, 2014, 10:35 AM EDT
Queen Elizabeth II is quickly making her mark on the Commonwealth Games.
She arrived in style at the Opening Ceremony in Glasgow on Wednesday night, in the backseat of a car strolling inside the Celtic Park soccer stadium to roaring applause.
She then laughed off a glitch in the proceedings as Prince Imran of Malaysia, the Commonwealth Games Federation president, struggled to open the Commonwealth baton that contained a hidden message to hand to the Queen to read.
Scottish Olympic champion cyclist Chris Hoy assisted, and the Queen declared the Games open.
Then, on the first day of competition Thursday, the Queen got up close with the athletes, as evidenced by this photo posted on Australia field hockey player Jayde Taylor's Twitter:

I find the Hurt Locker to be disturbingly unauthentic. That's why it bothers me, and why I think that movie gets way too much praise. Some of the scenes absolutely bother the **** out of me and my penchant for realism in a war setting film. Hopefully Zero Dark Thirty is different, because of the source material (stuff like
No Easy Day
) it is based on. Here's hoping they hired some decent coordinators to make sure everything looks right. Scenes like the .50 cal sniper crap in Hurt Locker were terrible and undercut the movie. Boal better not pull stuff like that out of his ass for this movie. Expectations are a lot higher.

She was the first woman to win. I think there's bias there because she is also directing a movie in a genre that would traditionally not be associated with a woman. I am really curious to see how ZDT turns out, as by all accounts it's a pretty dramatic step forward from Hurt Locker. Don't get me wrong, the latter is a terrific movie, but the praise heaped upon it is misguided.

Sound mixing should have gone to Star Trek or Transformers, in that order.

Reviewed By Scott A (CLARKSTON, MI) Reviewed for a 2009 Chevy Tahoe —7/23/2012 9:26 PM
Product is good. Saw immediate results in power and that all important sound. Makes the Tahoe sound a little meaner. Installation is a little tricky since descriptions are a little vague concerning taking off push clips. Actually helps not to have outside clamp on reducing coupler when attaching to filter housing. Slides on easier that way. Second aFe intake. Definitely worth it. Chevy does say having a non stock cold air intake violates the emmissions warranty so keep the stock intake incase you have future issues and need to swap it back for warranty servicing.

Antec P160 Aluminum Enclosure Review - InteriorAntec's latest enclosure is under the spotlight today. The latest model is called P160 and features an aluminum construct with a different design than what we have grown accustom to from the folks at Antec. Read on!
The Interior
Once you look inside the enclosure you will notice certain things that aren't exactly normal. When this case was created, it was designed for silence. Certain little additions that we'll talk about in more detail will show you just what I mean. Let's start with the hard drive trays.
You'll note that I said hard drive TRAYS above. No, that was not an exaggeration; this case uses a pullout tray for mounting the hard drives. These trays fit nice and snug and allow no movement to create any unnecessary rattling when the drive spins to speed. But that isn't all...
Within every hard drive tray (four in all), there are rubber mounting grommets. These grommets fit between the tray and the drive and are lined up with the mounting holes on the bottom of any standard hard drive. By using the special mounting screws that come with the case, you are given a secure means to mount the drive and also a means to take care of any remaining vibration that might occur when the drive spins up. Overall a very nice way to make sure you don't get any more noise than absolutely necessary when using the hardware.
Moving upwards in the drive compartments shows us a simple way to mount any floppy drives you might still use. This removable drive bay comes completely out of the unit and allows you to install up to two 3.5" drives that require access to the outside world. Even though many are getting away from floppy drives, there are still a lot of ZIP drives in use in the business world so it is good to see they are easily accommodated.
Our final stop in the drives category are the optical device bays. There is a full complement of four drive bays so this should take care of a vast majority of power users out there. Even with a CD-RW, a DVD burner, and a spare CD drive you are set to handle a great deal of media.
Being true to form with the Antec history, this case uses a rail system for mounting optical drives. While this certainly wasn't unexpected, the rail itself shows off that concept of quiet we were talking about before. Let me show you what I mean.
While rails have become commonplace in quality enclosures, these were a little different from what I am used to seeing. If you'll take a look at the rails above you will see each one has a plastic sleeve within it. After attaching the rails to your favorite drive, these plastic sleeves make contact with the metal of the drive bay. Once it is firmly seated in the bay, the plastic sleeve will keep the drive from transmitting vibration to the metal case. This is just another way to keep things nice and quiet.

The first think you see as you enter the brewery are two huge conical fermenter out front. Inside the brewery is filled with all different kinds of wood trim. They have a large selection of their beers on tap as well as other guest taps. All the beers I had have been excellent. I recommend if you are in the...
Stopped by the Tap Room at Swamp Head Brewery for a beer. It was so nice. The beer was good and the tap room was really nice. They even have games (corn hole and giant Connect 4) set up in the brewery for customers to play. If I lived in Gainesville, I would go there a lot. They have tours...
The tap room is like sitting in a lodge in the woods. The beers are really good. Must stop if in Gainesville. No gators memorabilia any where to found. Thank god.
The tours are available at 5:30pm, 6:30pm and 7:30pm for $5 per person. You will receive a souvenir glass with your choice of one pint.
We visited the new location for their grand opening and were pleasantly reminded what a wonderful Florida gem we have. Their beers are diverse in that they like to try new things but also their staple beers are always on point. The staff are friendly and I've always spotted the owner & brewers wandering around each time I've stopped in....
If you want good craft beer this is the place to stop! I like IPAs, ambers and stouts/porters. It was a great find and they will fill other peoples growlers!
Nice size bar with some good beers. They also have a food truck chilling outside with some good BBQ. Good staff, good people, good spot!
Brewery is not the easiest to find since it is located in an industrial park. Once you get there you see the garage doors opened and the brewery on display. Sit and enjoy a glass of a good variety of beers brewed on the premises. Recommended!
Stopped by the tasting room for my first visit, they are open 4-9 Monday - Friday and 1-9 on Saturday. I wasn't inside for more than 10 seconds and the friendly staff had acknowledged my presence and was eager to help me pick out my first beer. No attitudes here, the staff obviously loves what they do and made the...
I was in Gainesville for a game and a trip down memory lane... Found Swamp Head from word of mouth- spent two nights there. Great beer, good people and a great business- I'll continue to support em!

New Free Album Features Chamillionaire, Z-Ro, Devin The Dude, Lil' Boosie, Killer Mike, MoreThe Album:Today, Houston DJ/producer Rapid Ric is proud to announce the free release of his debut full-length album, Whut It Dew. The 16-track album, which Ric produced in its entirety, was originally released for sale at digital retailers in April, and will now be available as a free download. A physical copy of the album is also now available for purchase. Whut It Dew is being released by Ric's own label, Dew Music Group, which also has forthcoming releases slated with Killa Kyleon, Chalie Boy, Gerald G., and more in the coming months.A true force to be reckoned with, and increasingly so with each new release, Rapid Ric got his start as Chamillionaire's tour DJ, and has since established himself with his Mixtape Mechanic series, releasing projects with the likes of Z-Ro, Trae, Killa Kyleon, Bun B, Chalie Boy, Paul Wall, and more. Now, with Whut It Dew, Ric is releasing his own official album, a project that features many of those same names, in addition to Lil' Boosie, Dorrough Music, Devin The Dude, Slim Thug, Lil' Keke, Chamillionaire, Killer Mike, Lil' Flip, and Dew Music Group's own artist, Gerald G.Up until this point, Ric has put out a slew of videos and singles from Whut It Dew, the most recent being his video for "PLP" featuring Lil' Boosie, Dorrough Music, Chalie Boy and Gerald G. Previously, other singles have included "Actin' Bad," a track that reunited Slim Thug and Lil' Keke for a slowed, syrupy anthem, and calls on the legendary Bushwick Bill ("Less Than 3 (Remix)") and lesser known local heroes such as South Park Mexican ("Live 4 The Dough"), ESG ("Leanin'"), and more.Download Rapid Ric's album Whut It Dew for free here: http://www.whutitdew.com .

Portland, OR: Less than six months after releasing his hotly anticipated debut full length "True Theory" to critical acclaim, North West favorite Luck-One returns with a brand new mixtape and proclaims himself king.Well aware of the nearly two year lull between his initial offering Beautiful Music with producer Dekk, and True Theory, Luck returned to the studio in mid June and completed nearly the entire project in just under two weeks.Set to release as a free download August 30th, Luck gives us a taste of what's to come with the first leak entitled Breakthrough.

again, its a queen sac going 4 a mate...
You can mate without using the queen sacrifice.
Highly ambiguous puzzle .
There are two different solutions even to give mate in 3 moves:
Not only
1.Qg5+ Kf8 2.Qh6+ Rxh6 3.Bxh6#,
but also
1.Qg3+ Kf8 (1...Kxf6 2.Qg5#) 2.Bh6+ Rxh6 3.Qg8#
is mate in 3
That's what I tried. Is anything missed?
good one
Very cool queen sack!
Not bad but the sacrifice of the Q is too predictable. This is becoming a kind of pattern in these puzzles.
very nice one
Very nice!
not easy
I still have a hard time giving up my queen but cest le vie.
I just hate to sacrifice a queen. I lose more games that way too!
good puzle,enjoyed
Yes, a good puzzle, but I am with those above who are reluctant to give up the queen. That comes with great difficulty.
Nice interaction between the Knight and Bishop.
Here is the actual game. (Black actually won the game. The roles were reversed for the puzzle in order to make it easier for discussion. Also, the game ended after the 28th move, but the puzzle added the final moves to show us the final result.)
You are annoying.
Ya know who else is annoying? MY MOM!!
(not really, love you mom)
What I (Jacob30) meant to say was that I love you and your analysis's. It warms my heart to see you at the top of the first page sharing your wonderful genius with those (especially me, Jacob30) who look up to you as the man who helped us through this hard puzzles and is willing to help us understand and explain the reason of this and every puzzle. In fact, I am starting a Incredibill fan club on chess.com, of which I will gladly be President. And speaking of presidents, I would like to nominate incredibill for President of chess.com.

Critic's Choice
If Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda had ditched Easy Rider and taken over 2001: A Space Odyssey from Stanley Kubrick, Dead Meadow would have made the perfect soundtrack. This Washington, D.C.-based trio is riding high on the acclaim from its third record, 2003's downright wizardly The Shivering King and Others. Floating in a free fall between stoner rock and psychedelia, the disc was less a musical statement than a mystical tome that alchemically wed the earth-crumpling gravity of Black Sabbath's Vol. 4 to the drone-fried atmospherics of Pink Floyd's A Saucerful of Secrets. Singer/guitarist Jason Simon brandishes riffs as if they were broadswords; when vocalizing, he sounds like that backward-talking midget from Twin Peaks puking up tree sap in slow motion. Besides Shivering King, last year saw the unleashing of Got Live If You Want It, an in-concert album produced and released by Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre -- quite a contrast to Dead Meadow's other famous patron, Joe Lally of Fugazi, who put out the group's first two discs on his own Tolotta imprint. Watch Dead Meadow unveil its tapestry of pandemonium at the Larimer Lounge on Sunday, March 7, with Nightingale; it'll make you want to strap a rocket to your chopper and aim it straight at the monolith of oblivion.

Europe's top human rights court says Poland allowed the CIA to detain two terrorism suspects at a secret prison on its territory where they were exposed to "torture and inhuman or degrading treatment".
In a 400-page ruling, the European Court of Human Rights said that Poland violated the European Convention on Human Rights and failed to properly investigate what had happened to Abd al Rahim al Nashiri, a Saudi national, and Abu Zubaydah, a Palestinian born in Saudi Arabia, while they were in CIA custody.
The CIA brought a number of suspected al Qaeda members to the prison, including Zubaydah, Nashiri and Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-admitted mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks.
While imprisoned on a military base in northern Poland, a pair of CIA contractors waterboarded Mohammed 183 times.
A CIA operative also subjected Nashiri to a mock execution and put a drill to the head of the blindfolded man, according to several former CIA officials and a report by the agency's inspector general.
"For all practical purposes, Poland had facilitated the whole process, had created the conditions for it to happen and had made no attempt to prevent it from occurring," the court said in the first judicial ruling on the rendition and interrogation programme created by the administration of President George Bush after the 9/11 attacks.
The decision is a victory for human rights advocates who petitioned the court in Strasbourg, France, to hold Poland accountable for its role in helping the CIA establish the secret prison - code-named "Quartz" - on a Polish military base in December 2002.
The court's decision rested on declassified US documents, media reports and other information that described CIA activities in Poland.
The court decision comes as the CIA braces for the release of an exhaustive study of the agency's rendition, detention and interrogation programme prepared by the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Lawmakers have said the CIA misled them about the programme's effectiveness.
The prison in Poland was closed in September 2003, with the CIA scattering the remaining detainees to sites in Morocco and Romania.
In September 2006, the agency moved Zubaydah, Nashiri, Mohammed and other 13 high-value detainees to the US prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Mohammed and Nashiri are separately facing military commission trials for their alleged respective roles in the 9/11 attacks and the 2000 attack on the USS Cole in the port of Aden, Yemen.
Zubaydah continues to be held without charge in a top-secret facility at Guantanamo where the high-value detainees are held.
US officials have backed away from claims that he was a high-ranking member of al Qaeda but say he was facilitator for militants going to camps in Afghanistan.
The court ordered Poland to pay US$175,000 (NZ$204,270) to Zubaydah and US$135,000 to Nashiri.
"We are still studying the decision, but it is obviously an historic judgment that vindicates what we have said for years and now can no longer be denied," said Joseph Margulies, Zubaydah's attorney.
"The CIA ran a black site prison in Poland, with the full knowledge and complicity of the Polish government, where Abu Zubaydah was brutally tortured."
Amrit Singh, a lawyer at the Open Society Justice Initiative, who represented Nashiri before the court, also praised the decision.
"This is a historic ruling by the European Court of Human Rights, which has become the first court to confirm the existence of a secret CIA torture centre on Polish soil between 2002 and 2003, where our client Abd al Rahim al Nashiri was held and tortured," she said.
The CIA declined to comment, as did the State Department.
Poland's Foreign Ministry said it could not immediately comment because its legal experts still needed to examine the ruling, according to the Associated Press, and officials in Warsaw said it has not yet been decided whether to appeal the ruling to the Grand Chamber of the Court.
But the office of President Bronislaw Komorowski called the judgment "embarrassing" to Poland, the AP reported.
The CIA paid Poland's intelligence officials US$15 million in the winter of 2002 after they agreed to host the facility, according to former intelligence officials, who previously spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a classified program.
The prison was located in a cramped dacha on the base and had space for several prisoners.
The prison was under CIA control and Polish officials didn't have access to the prisoners or the ability to question them, the officials have said.
The court said it was "unlikely that the Polish officials had witnessed or known exactly what happened inside the facility".

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says an injured eaglet seen struggling on the agency's popular "Eagle Cam" has been euthanized. The DNR initially said it would not interfere with the nest, but then changed its approach. The eaglet had a serious injury in its elbow joint, as well as an infection, and wildlife experts says that it's condition made it impossible for the bird to survive in the wild. Even if kept in captivity, the bird would have been in discomfort. This is the second year of the Eagle Cam, which features a nesting pair of bald eagles live on the Internet on the DNR's website.
