Great stuff and everything was done brilliantly well by the tour organisers. Starting with the Tour guides (Mr Norman for 3 days and Ray Furlong for 1 day) who shared great tid-bits of information, the bus ride, the photo-stops, the scenery itself and of course the pubs and inns where good food was always available (though a little bit restricted in terms of choice for strict vegetarians). The routes chosen were stunning leaving us panting for more...wishing that this tour never ended !!

I had the most wonderful time on my tour. My guide for day one and four was Norman and he was truly fantastic! His stories and wealth of information made for a truly enjoyable tour. My only request was that I wish our tour was able to spend more time at Cliffs of Moher and in Galway.

A wonderful tour of Ireland! And if are lucky enough to have Tim Tim as your guild, all the better for you!!!! He made the journey for us. This trip gives you a wonderful taste of the country--and we cannot wait to return to see more.
July 2011
Very interesting tour and lovely areas to visit!! The tour guide on the Ring of Kerry was absolutely fantastic. My only wish was to have been allowed more time to spend in each area as opposed to short stops. I do highly recommend the trip and staying in B and Bs. Beauty's Home in Killarney was so welcoming!!

Our guide Jonathon was spectacular. We had so much fun with him. My biggest complaint was that in Kilearny our B and B was so far from town and it made it hard to get around. It took 30-40 min to walk to town. Other than that it was great.

I didn't reailize that the trip was basically 4 day trips, but it worked out well. There was just a bit of a different flow because I basically had a different tour guide for the different days. I had Dave as my guide two days who was stellar. He went above and beyond, and was a treasure chest of information. He was very helpful with questions as well. Was a great way to see the scenic parts of Ireland packed into 4 days. Stayed at a great B and B in Kilarney with this tour called Robeen House. It was nice to see have the different day trips but have them all coordinated for me.

An excellent tour that takes you to the best of Ireland. In Cork and Limerick only a short orientation tour from the bus is included and you don't actually get to walk in the town. Also be aware that the visits to the 2 castles are very rushed (Blarney and Bunratty). Especially at Blarney be prepared for queues from hell. Having queued for 20 minutes to enter Blarney castle I gave up but the grounds are themselves worth exploring including a pre-historic site. Also the guided tour at Bunratty castle doesn't leave you with enough time to walk around the folk village as well so you might find that you have to choose what you do. However, the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, Ring of Kerry and the Dingle peninsula are the true highlights of this tour and there you do get the time with plenty of stops for photos and to take in the gorgeous scenery. The hotel in Killarney was also a good quality 3-star hotel. The only issue I had on this tour was that the Railtour hosts were sometimes in confusion as to who was doing what and it didn't look like anything you said to them could help. In Killarney when I arrived for the Dingle tour there was no host available to assist and when she eventually arrived she got busy on the phone dealing with other non-Railtour business so she was still not available to help. There seem to be communication/organisation issues with the hosts that don't inspire much confidence. However, they are very nice and friendly and I would go on this tour again.

My first race is the San Bruno Hill Climb on New Year's Day. Due to problems with transportation, I can only get there maybe 20 minutes before the start. Do you guys have any tips on training, nutrition, the actual climb, etc? Thanks
My first race is the San Bruno Hill Climb on New Year's Day. Due to problems with transportation, I can only get there maybe 20 minutes before the start. Do you guys have any tips on training, nutrition, the actual climb, etc? Thanks
20 minutes before? That is gonna hurt for a hill climb.
EOL Ra Ra F
Specialized S-Works SL2
10 lbs and 6% to go!
training - too late to worry about that, there arent any magic bullets, you've either trained or you havent
nutrition - dont eat too much before the race, it's 3.5 miles, you need no fuel or fluid during the race
climb - read the race flyer, go ride it ahead of time
warmup - ride your bike to the race instead of relying on some half-baked transportation plan that can only get you there 20 mins ahead of time
tips - heres a tip or two: New to Racing? Here's a tip or two
Since it is your first race, I suggest you have execution objectives with a performance goal. What I mean by an execution objective is to attempt to do the right stuff to enhance performance and gain experience by what goes wrong. Showing up 20 minutes early is not enough time. You are already behind in the warmup and your nerves are going to be strained. Your performance will be subpar of what was possible.
Here is the deal summarized as others have said in your OTHER post on the same matter.
Pre-ride the course as many times as possible. This is the best training you can do in the limited time.
Show up early, register, pin on your number correctly, observe what others are doing and warmup (preferably on a trainer) but the road is okay if it is not too cold. For a short race, a long warmup is required.
Try not to eat anything substantial two hours before the race but obviously eat a good breakfast.
Keep hydrated.
Show up at the starting line warmed up and ready to race.
I will be there a couple of hours early and on the trainer for an hour. Good luck.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. Aristotle
Cat: Killer
If you pin your numbers on before you get there, 20 minutes is plenty of time (depending on how you normally warm up). I'm really not going to get any better if I hit more than 10 minutes of warmup (I've won crits on that).
Sit on Pizzaman's wheel.
Tie a rope on to the guy with the Blue Ridley.
If you're going to have trouble getting there on race day, I wouldn't bother pre-riding this climb but try to find a profile for it if you can.
See you there This is my favorite way to start the new year.
and staying on pizza mans wheel is a great way to get 2nd place
Aren't you taking a bike with you? Have your ride drop you off so you can ride the rest of the distance at a warm up pace and still get there with as much time in advance as you want.
Another recommendation. I don't know where you're coming from, but if you won't be able to arrive until 20 minutes before the start, you should at least try to get a real good warm-up at home before you leave, either on a trainer or around your neighborhood. Even if you have to sit in a car for 1 hour before arriving, getting warmed up before you go will get the blood flowing in your muscles.
Good luck!
I am taking the train to get to the race, which explains the poor timing. I will ride the 6 miles to the train station as a sort of warmup. I haven't ridden in several weeks, so I think I have to make up a lot of ground. How does Old La Honda compare to San Bruno because I am thinking of training on OLH. Thanks.

Biggest problem will be not whooping it up too much the night before.

Conference Paper: Review of game theory applications in financial field
Article: Artificial moment method using attractive points for the local path planning of a single robot in complicated dynamic environments[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: A novel path planner is presented for the local path planning of a single robot (represented with R) in a complicated dynamic environment. Here a series of attractive points are computed based on attractive segments for guiding R to move along a shorter path. Each attractive segment is obtained by using the full environmental knowledge and will be used for several sampling times in general. A motion controller, which is designed based on artificial moments and a robot model that has a principal motion direction line(PMDline), makes R move closely to attractive points while away from obstacles. Attractive and repulsive moments are designed, which only make R's PMDline face toward attractive points and opposite to obstacles in general, as in most cases, R will move along its PMDline with its full speed. Because of the guidance of attractive points and R's full-speed motion, the global convergence is guaranteed. Simulations indicate that the proposed path planner meets the requirements of real-time property while can optimize R's traveling path.

Conference Paper: Research and application of image enhancement[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: According to the characteristics of gray image, histogram equalization, image smoothing, image sharpening and Wavelet transform for image processing are adopted, and the improved algorithm to make up some limitations and shortcomings are used in this paper. By analyzing the experimental results, the range of applications of the different enhancement algorithms are obtained.
Conference Paper: Design of flyback LED power supply based on LNK406EG[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: LED lighting, as a new type of lighting, has already been widely used. High reliability LED depends on drive control circuit to obtain steady electric current to make LED lighting more stable and uniform. In this paper, anti-surge and EMC were designed on the basis of LED high reliability power supply. In order to simplify the circuit and achieve good power factor and efficiency, a 15W flyback power was also designed by using chip LNK406EG. Experiments verified that the power supply made in this paper can get good power factor, small loss, steady output and high efficiency.
Conference Paper: Watermarking technique based on wavelet transform for color images[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Watermarking techniques have been proposed as an effective method to protecting the copyright of multimedia data. At present, a large proportion of the watermarking algorithms embed the grey image into the carrier image. In this paper, a watermarking algorithm for color images based on wavelet analysis is proposed. The algorithm scrambled the original watermark image in pretreatment, and used the wavelet transform to process the carrier image and the scrambled watermark image. Then the color watermarked image was embedded into the low-frequency discrete wavelet coefficient of the color carrier image. The experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm can assure the security of the watermark image, and the watermark image has good invisibility and strong robustness for common signal processing and attack.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Due to the advent of network and computer technology, there has been an explosion in the use of digital media through electronic commerce and on-line services. The increasing importance of watermarking technologies is proved by the need of very efficient methods in data security including copyright protection, data integrity detection. Existing digital watermarking algorithms are mostly designed for gray images but many are not for color images. This paper presents some color image watermark methods proposed in recent years so as to give help for researchers to study deeply.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: On the base of General Ant Colony Optimization, this paper proposed a new design method for multi-sorts classifier for the sorts being known. This approach is optimal compared with other methods, and its recognition rate is high and can be used widely in practice.

Moving objects tracking has wide applications in many fields. This paper tracked the moving car and pedestrian at real time based on Kalman filter. Experiment results showed that the Kalman filter can accurately estimate parameters of the object,such as the next position and velocity etc., which will offer much more facilities to the followed works like correspondence matching and so on.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Image gathering and transmission system is the important part of banknote sorts and should have high properties of real-time and steady reliability. With the development and the popularization of Internet, more embedded system should support the function of Internet. The traditional TCP/IP protocol is too complex and takes too much resource. This paper designed a new banknote image gathering and transmission system. At the hardware aspect, it realized a banknote image gathering and transmission system with many expansion interfaces, based on the Texas Instrument Incorporated (TI)'s Davinci dual-core processor TMS320DM6446. At the software aspect, it developed network function application procedure based on the platform. The TCP/IP protocol was simplified. Keywords—Davinci, TCP/IP, banknote

Conference Paper: Current Status of Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm Applications[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: As a novel evolutionary computation technology, swarm intelligence is now becoming a new research hotspot. As a representative method of swarm intelligence, ant colony optimization (ACO) is a novel simulated evolutionary algorithm which was proposed first by M. Dorigo and has been applied in many fields. The current status of ACO applications is given in this paper.
Conference Paper: Optimization of Storage Location Assignment for Fixed Rack Systems[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: A multi-objective mathematical model and an improved Genetic Algorithm (GA) are formulated for storage location assignment of the fixed rack system. According to the assignment rules, the optimization aim is to maximize the storage/retrieval efficiency and to keep the stability of the rack system. The improved GA with Pareto optimization and Niche Technology are developed. The approach considers Pareto solution sets with the traditional operators, while the Niche Technology distributes the solutions uniformly in Pareto solution sets. The realization of the approach ensures storage location assignment optimization and offers a dynamic decision making scheme for automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS).

The review of the new applications for ACO and its prospect are given in this paper.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: In the movement of multiple robots, the robot formation is one of the important attributes of colony activities. It has an important significance to recognize robot formations for evaluating the spot situation and making decisions. A new algorithm is proposed in this paper for recognition of robot linear formations. On the basis of pre-processing, (that is, each robot is segmented from the spot and expressed with center of mass which is binarized), the property is extracted by Hough transform. In the end, formation recognition is realized by dot matching according to the affine transform and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The simulation shows that the algorithm is effective.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This paper proposes algorithms of image features extaction and identification by using seeking optimization capability of ant colony algorithm. The feature vectors of the identified images are regarded as the inputs of ant colony algorithm based on the information entropy. By the algorithms proposed by this paper, the features which cost the least time and whose identification effect are the best are selected under the precondition of identifying images correctly and then the images are identified. Experiments show that the algorithms are effective.

Australasian teal consist of five taxa (Anas gracilis, A. castanea, A. chlorotis, A. aucklandica and A. nesiotis) whose taxonomic identities and relationships have been uncertain. Analysis of variation at 14 allozyme loci indicates limited but clear divergence of New Zealand taxa (A. chlorotis, A. aucklandica, A. nesiotis), in agreement with previous studies of morphological variation. The New Zealand taxa are "terminal and evolutionarily independent units" that clearly meet the criteria for specific recognition in line with the phylogenetic species concept (PSC). Because each is also geographically restricted and has small world population size, specific recognition supports increased conservation status for each. The three New Zealand species do not form a sister group with A. castanea, as previously hypothesized; instead, A. castanea and A. gracilis are sister taxa.

Fitch affirms Bahrain's stable long-term ratings
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Bahrain's Long-term foreign currency rating at A-, its Short-term foreign currency rating at F1 and its Long-term local currency rating at A. The Outlook on the Long-term ratings remains Stable.
Bahrain's ratings are underpinned by its strong overall net external creditor status, comfortable public finances, high per capita income, positive business climate and support from Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) members, especially Saudi Arabia. US support is also important. Bahrain is home to the US Fifth fleet, is a "major non-NATO ally" of the US and will benefit from a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) about to be negotiated.
Meanwhile, political and economic reforms spearheaded by the King since 1999 are addressing many of the weaknesses in Bahrain's credit profile. The elected chamber has begun its second annual session, and a new National Audit Court has authority to investigate most aspects of public finances and should stimulate further necessary improvements in transparency.
In the economic sphere, reforms aim to further strengthen non-oil growth - which accelerated to six percent last year - and together with improved training and education, reduce unemployment among Bahrainis. The proposed sale of a 26 percent stake in Aluminium Bahrain (ALBA) and the FTA are recent affirmations of the government's reformist intent. The effectiveness of political and economic reforms over time will be the main influence on the direction of Bahrain's rating.
A major public investment programme is enhancing Bahrain's infrastructure and aims to catalyze and support private sector activity. In the short term, it is leading to wider budget and current account deficits until the benefits begin to flow. Precise forecasts are difficult given the uncertain timing of costs and benefits.
Moreover, although a doubling of capacity at the Abu Sa'afa oil field, which Bahrain shares with Saudi Arabia, is underway, Fitch has based its forecasts on the highly conservative assumption of unchanged Bahraini exports, due to uncertainty as to the precise share out. Assuming in addition a slight easing of oil prices and full implementation of project expenditure, Fitch projects the state budget deficit to approach five percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2005, and the overall deficit, including extra-budgetary spending and the pension fund surplus, to approach six percent of GDP.
Meanwhile, the current account deficit may approach 10 percent of GDP, swelled by the cost of the capacity expansion at ALBA. Given that extra capacity at Abu Sa'afa is worth an estimated nine percent of GDP, however, at least some of which is likely to accrue to Bahrain, both forecasts may well be bettered. The increased budget and current account deficits will also be temporary, with financing already largely in place. Fitch believes public finances are also robust to an oil price stress test for the A rating category. This is important given the emergence of budget and current account deficits at a time of relatively high oil prices.
Gross public debt will rise to 45 percent of GDP this year, in line with the median for credits in the A category, and the overall and sovereign net external creditor position may weaken a little. However, Bahrain's official external assets are understated, though to an unknown extent, and sovereign domestic financial assets probably exceed gross public debt. A full understanding of public finances would benefit from a complete and fully consolidated public sector balance sheet.
Problems in a few small banks over the past year have been contained. Weaknesses these revealed in the Bahrain Monetary Authority's (BMA) supervisory system have been tightened in response. Meanwhile, the BMA's development of the infrastructure for an Islamic securities market has been one of the past year's success stories. — (menareport.com)

I'm trying to do some simple locally-hosted development using the Ext framework. The site is configured as a virtual directory under IIS 7, so that
http://localhost/app points to the index file. The path works fine; the file loads.
Here's my problem: despite the fact that I am not making any changes to the very sizable Ext library javascript files (about 2.4 mb uncompressed), those files are being reloaded every single time I refresh the html file. Even though these files are being served off my local hard drive, each page refresh takes 12 to 13 seconds. This is making testing pretty, um, frustrating.
How can I get unchanged js files to cache? Failing that, why aren't they being loaded more quickly? I'm not downloading them off the internet, I'm moving 2 megs around on my hard drive, which I'm pretty sure should be trivial, time-wise.

Amor Y Esperanza 1, 2 Group
Elene is excited to be taking her fourth loan with Esperanza after having successfully repaid her previous loan and grown her business. She has had her business for amost 14 years, starting to sell products before she moved to the Dominican Republic. She plans to use this loan to invest in her business by buying different products like clothing, shoes, and cosmetics. She will also use future profits to reinvest in her business.
Her story is representative of her group and of Esperanza's Haitian and Dominican clients — many of whom recently emigrated to the DR from Haiti. Her group is located in the urban slums surrounding Santo Domingo. This area, like nearly all impoverished areas of the Dominican Republic, suffers from unreliable electricity and running water — none of which is potable.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

MSI GeForce GT 240 review -
Overclocking & Tweaking
Overclocking & Tweaking
As most of you with most videocards know, you can apply a simple series of tricks to boost the overall performance a little. You can do this at two levels, namely tweaking by enabling registry or BIOS hacks, or very simple, tamper with Image Quality. And then there is overclocking, which will give you the best possible results by far.
What do we need?
One of the best tool for overclocking NVIDIA and ATI videocards is our own Rivatuner that you can download here. If you own an ATI or NVIDIA graphics card then the manufacturer actually has very nice built in options for you that can be found in the display driver properties.
Where should we go?
Overclocking: By increasing the frequency of the videocard's memory and GPU, we can make the videocard increase its calculation clock cycles per second. It sounds hard, but it really can be done in less than a few minutes. I always tend to recommend to novice users and beginners not to increase the frequency any higher then 5% of the core and memory clock. Example: If your card runs at 600 MHz (which is pretty common these days) then I suggest you don't increase the frequency any higher than 30 to 50 MHz.
More advanced users push the frequency often way higher. Usually when your 3D graphics start to show artifacts such as white dots ("snow"), you should back down 10-15 MHz and leave it at that. Usually when you are overclocking too hard, it'll start to show artifacts, empty polygons or it will even freeze. Carefully find that limit and then back down at least 20 MHz from the moment you notice an artifact. Look carefully and observe well. I really wouldn't know why you need to overclock today's tested card anyway, but we'll still show it ;)
All in all... do it at your own risk.
Above you can see the overclocked results for Resident Evil 5, same image quality settings as before.
|This sample
|Overclocked with AfterBurner
|Core Clock: 550MHz
|Core Clock: 550MHz
|Core Clock:640MHz
|Shader Clock: 1360MHz
|Shader Clock: 1360MHz
|Shader Clock:1554MHz
|Memory Clock: 1700MHz
|Memory Clock: 1794MHz
|Memory Clock: 2011MHz
So we could not push the card much further really as we'd run into issues, if you however jam some extra volts into the GPU 0-- you might reach 650~700 MHz on that core.
