A Vertical Tasting of Clos des Goisses
I was fortunate to be able to attend a tasting in London yesterday of Philipponnat's Clos des Goisses, one of my favorite champagnes. Hosted by Tom Stevenson, this extraordinary tasting featured eleven vintages of Clos des Goisses, including not only renowned vintages such as 1990, 1976, 1964 and 1952, but also wines that demonstrate what the Clos can do in more difficult years, such as 2001 and 1951. As all of these bottles were provided directly from Philipponnat's cellars, many of them recently disgorged and some of them even in magnum format, it was a rare opportunity. Charles Philipponnat, who was also in attendance, reminded me that it will soon become even rarer, due to the house's dwindling stock of older vintages.
I took advantage of my London visit to indulge in a stop at Edward Green at 75 Jermyn Street and a leisurely afternoon stroll down nearby Savile Row. Would I rather have a new pair of Edward Green adelaides in antiqued burnt pine or a magnum of '64 Clos des Goisses? Hmm. I think I'd have to take the Clos des Goisses.
My complete notes on this tasting can be found here.

Benjamim Taubkin: Baianinho
Benjamim Taubkin (piano)
Trio + 1 (Adventure Music AM1054 2)
Benjamim Taubkin (piano), Joatan Nascimento (trumpet, flugelhorn),
Sérgio Reze (drums, melodic gongs), Zeca Assumpaçăo (acoustic bass).
Composed by Joatan Nascimento.
Recorded: Date Unknown
Rating: 87/100 (learn more)
Sérgio Reze's Latin festive, second-line pulse provides the bedrock for this Latin-flavored tune that conjures up New Orleans as much as it does Rio de Janeiro. "Baianinho" is keyed by an eminently hummable Nascimento-led percussive theme that's played near the beginning and again at the end. In between, the composition opens up wide, allowing both the trumpet and Taubkin's piano go down paths of casual exploration. Props also go to the engineering effort of a live-in-the-studio recording that picks up the nuances of the percussion, horn and piano, enabling each player to find his own voice without having to rise above the other voices.
Ultimately, though, "Baianinho" succeeds in its balance of moods: that of being both a jubilant and a breezy song.

In the first part of this series, we had just begun our exploration of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, taking a look at its early history and one of its historical entities.
St. Joseph Cathedral is another historic structure that has deep roots in the area, dating back to about 1838 when the first Catholic missionary priests came here, spreading their gospel among the Native Americans and early settlers of the day.
Today the Cathedral—built from 1915-1919—is regarded as one of South Dakota's finest landmarks, and remains so today due to an extensive restoration project completed in 2011. The Romanesque and French Renaissance structural and architectural influences here are magnificent, and both parishioners and visitors alike come to marvel at the detailed interior highlights, soaring ceilings, intricate altar, cathedra and other aspects. Although there is still an active Catholic community here with services and masses held throughout the week, the building is open for free, self-guided tours.
The focal point of the city is definitely Falls Park, our first stop when we came to town. Free and open to the public and a big draw not only for tourists but for locals who come here to cycle, picnic, enjoy the open green space and take in performances when in season, its location right smack in the middle of downtown makes it very visually appealing.
The history of the Falls goes back thousands of years to the Ice Age when huge glaciers covered the area, and that melting over time created the rugged crags and cracks, streams and waterfalls covering its 123 acre expanse, where an average of 7,400 gallons of water drop 100 feet over the course of the Falls each second.
Some of the city's first structures were built here, including the Queen Bee Mill which opened in 1881 and at the time was considered to be one of the most advanced mills in the country. Reaching seven-stories high, it played an integral role in the farming community here, as it allowed locals farmers to process their wheat here instead of shipping it to neighboring state's mills. Only remnants remain after it was turned into a warehouse then later burned in a fire in the early 1900s.
The picturesque viewing platform was once the Millrace and Dam, constructed to provide power to the mill and later to the local hydroelectric plant. And what was once the Sioux Falls Light and Power Company building is now the Falls Overlook Café. At the Visitor's Center, located inside a five-story, 50-foot high tower, visitors can get a great deal of information about the Falls and area entities, as well as enjoy a panoramic view of the park and Falls for those who care to ascend to the top.
Because the Falls are natural and a not man-made, climate controlled feature, the amount of water, runoff and velocity are completely dependent upon Mother Nature. So any time of year you visit, it will have different features. But overall it is a spectacular site, again, sitting right smack in the middle of downtown and easily accessible—and free—to all.
We've got lots more to see, do and eat in Sioux Falls coming up!

Remember Darien Times writer Joshua Fisher that claimed in an editorial that WWE was barely above pornography? The story has taken another turn this week following another defensive response by WWE in which Chris Powell of the Darien Times responded with an editorial entitled, "Deposing McMahon: If not porn, what is it?"
In WWE's response, they put over their TV-PG content and say they are a company that "refuses to be bullied and will not allow" their content to be inaccurately categorized.
In his editorial, Powell mentions a storyline the company did where Vince McMahon "ordered" Trish Stratus to undress and get down on her hands and knees and bark like a dog. You can read the piece at this link.
For those that doubt the angle ever happened, you can watch a clip available on YouTube at this link.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Sophomore Vivian Kong and senior Francesca Bassa are in a good position following the first day of competition at the NCAA Fencing Championships in Columbus, Ohio.
Kong leads the women's epee through the first three of five rounds. She won 13 of her 15 bouts to lead all competitors in the 24-person field. She had one more win than Princeton's Susannah Scanlan and Penn State's Jessie Radanovich. He also led in fewest touches allowed with 43.
Bassa sits right behind the top three after winning 11 of her 15 bouts on the first day. The top four after five rounds will make the semifinals and have a chance to fence for the national championship. Bassa has one more victory than Alina Ferdman of St. John's, who is currently fifth overall. Bassa had the third best discrepancy in touches and touches allowed with a +17.
Freshman Alexa Rohan made her championships debut on Thursday in women's sabre. Rohan won five bouts on the day and is currently in 19th place among the 24 in the field. The leader is Adrienne Jarocki of Harvard, who won 13 of her 15 matches.
The women's competition will wrap up on Friday. The fourth and fifth rounds of fencing will take place to start the day with the semifinals and championship bout to follow. The men's competition will take place on Saturday and Sunday.

UPDATE: 2:10 p.m.: Augusta County sheriff's deputies charged John Allan Powell, 67, with felony attempted capital murder of a police officer and felony discharging a firearm. He faces life in prison if convicted. Police say a single bullet hole was found in the front door of the home. After the man surrendered, police entered the homeand found seven weapons, police say.
This is an update to this morning's story (below) on the incident.
VERONA - As Pamela Myrick walked toward Midvale Drive in Verona this morning to take her children to the bus stop, she saw a slew of police cars surrounding a home.
Within minutes, she heard a series of bangs. At about 8:30 a.m., a SWAT team deployed tear gas into the house and the suspect responded with a gunshot at police. Police weren't hit by the bullet.
"It was scary," said Myrick, 31, of Verona, noting that the school bus, escorted by police cars, had come through before the tear gas and gunshot was fired.
"I was all right with the gas canisters but I jumped with the gunshot," she added.
Sgt. Gary Taylor of the Augusta County Sheriff's Office, who is commander of the SWAT team, said the incident started at about 2 a.m. when patrol officers went to serve an emergency commitment order on a man at a home at 41 Midvale Drive.
It's unclear who obtained the order or why, specifically.
Taylor said patrol officers became concerned when they discovered the man might turn violent.
"They obtained some information that the subject might have been armed and made some threats," said Taylor.
Patrol officers negotiated with the man for several officers but realized at about 4:30 a.m. that it wasn't working, said Taylor.
The SWAT team was dispatched to the home.
SWAT team negotiators then made contact with the man.
"The subject indicated he was armed and he told us he'd shoot the police," said Taylor.
After negotiations failed, a SWAT vehicle approached, deploying tear gas into the home.
Taylor said the man inside responded by firing one shot.
"Several minutes later he came out and surrendered," said Taylor.
The man, whose name has not been released, was taken to Augusta Health for evaluation. Taylor said charges are pending.
The Daily News-Record will update this story as more details become available, and will have a complete report in Wednesday's print and online editions.

Crystal Fallout
By Tim Dexter-Oracle on May 22, 2009
Yesterday I spent most of an entry talking about weather and a little about actual work. Today, no weather, well may a little - its danged raining here in Colorado, again! Great Memorial Day weekend, it's like living back on ol'Blighty. Hey there's a public holiday coming up, don't bother to check the forecast, it will be raining!
Back to the Crystal conversion, the issue we had in the layout template is not a consequence of the Crystal report itself but more of the data structure underneath it. The Oklahoma folks have a system to collect information about traffic incidents and claims, they use Oracle Forms to collect that info, the form has been 'bent' a little to allow their users to collect all the information in a single place. The form is not master detail per se ie section for the claim info and a child section for the drive, owner and responsible party, typically the insurance company. Its all stored at the same level so they have multiple lines with a line for each with a flag for the owner, driver and responsible party. Thats fine but the data set returned by the BIP (and Crystal) query results in a denormalized data set so they have something like.
<name>Jo Bloggs</name>
<address> blah blah blah</address>
<name>Big Insurance Co</name>
</row></address><address> blah blah blah</address>
and so on, potentially as many as four records for each claim. The issue comes when we need to show this information on the form. There are no 'sections' for each party, its all shown on an easy to read form. So we need to be able to distinguish between the driver and responsible party records under a given CLAIM_ID.
Those with some experience will have jumped on a grouping, . This gives you the means of discerning between claims (there maybe multiple claims in a batch) but we then get into a 'tricksy hobbitises' situation with the rest of the data. We need to show the driver and responsible party data mixed in the form, but as you can see above we have 'NAME' and 'ADDRESS' repeated as elements, if we had had nice prefixes to the elements life would have been easier. But life's not easy :0)
So, after a little head scratching I came up with a way to distinguish between the two data sets - variables. Now in XSL variables are not like regular variables, they are not updatable, more like a constant in that respect. But they do have a great quality we can use, they can contain not only a single value but a complete part of the XML tree. I can load chunks of data into them to create the separate records I need ie a driver variable tree and a responsible party variable tree. I can then reference the values in those variables just by prefixing the variable name so that $driver.NAME and $resp_party.NAME are now different values. Very cunning!
At the top of my template I have
<?for-each-group:ROW;./C_CLAIM_NO?> - just a group by claim number
<?for-each:current-group()?> - loop thru the rest of the data
<?variable@context:driver;* [DRIVER='Y']?> - load the record for the driver
<?variable@context:resp_party;*[RESPONSIBLE_PARTY='Y']?> - load the record for the responsible party
<?end for-each?>
<?$driver/NAME?> - reference drivers name
<?$resp_party/NAME?> - reference responsible party name
<?end for-each-group?>
To explain the variable declaration, the '*' is saying assign everything in the current record but only if DRIVER = Y ie the first record in the loop. The second variable is doing the same but only where RESPONSIBLE_PARTY = 'Y'. Now I can reference anything I like anywhere in the document by using the $variable_name/ prefix.
Its some hoop jumping to get it right and to be honest I would recommend using a data template to get the data into a nice friendly structure negating the need for the variables. But the exercise was to just migrate the report from Crystal, Crystal was not grouping the data it had to use the sneaky 'whileprocessingrecords' trick. If they have tricks then BIP is entitled to some too. If you're interested I have the template and final output available here.

OK so it is valentines day, and I remembered in one of Thanissaros essays or books, he mentions a love poem but can not remember where to look for it???
but not that important really.
my question is what is your favourite passage from the texts (or teachers) regarding Love?
would you send it to your partner and not get smacked around the head, or end up single again, or better yet homeless?
this maybe better in the lounge or open Dhamma but...

No. 1 Steve Johnson (1), USC
"Felt like I played pretty well today. Especially after the team competition, I knew yesterday was going to be a tough one. I was fortunate enough to get through that one. I feel like my body's back, healthy and I'm really focused on this tournament again and I felt like I played some of my best tennis again today.
"My body has been so worn out the last two years. This year, I felt like I put in a lot of work off the court to be ready for this - to play deep into the team event and come out and play six days in a row for the individuals. Hopefully, my fitness has gotten so much better. And, I feel healthy, which is the key compared to this year from last year. It's night and day."
No. 5 Michael Shabaz (3), VIRGINIA
"You need a little bit of luck. I was hanging on by a thread. Luckily, I slapped a few returns, and the next thing you know, you get a break point. Then my shoe kind of falls off and then next thing you know I hit another good shot and there's a set. You get a little bit of energy, a little bit of momentum, you're up 3-0, you're serving for it, he rakes back and then you think you're going to lose again. And then you play another good game. It was a roller coaster match.
"I'm so mentally tired from playing so much tennis as of late. It just kind of carries over. The team's very emotional. There's a high. You get an emotional high, especially the way it all ended out. Then, you have to re-energize yourself somehow or throw out whatever's left in the tank for the individuals. It's definitely interesting."
No. 6 Eric Quigley (7), KENTUCKY
"I think I played pretty good today. It was just a few points here and there. Obviously, a few points here or there, and I win the match or he wins the match. He played really good on big points and fought to the end. That was it."
No. 9 Bradley Klahn, STANFORD
"I thought I started off a lot better today - energized and not as sluggish as yesterday. I thought I really played aggressively at the start, kind took it to him, got him off balance a little bit. I was pleased with my play.
"Certainly in the second set, he started finding his game a little more, picked it up, and made me work for that second set. I had some chances to break early on, but stuck with it, especially on my serve. I thought I served well today and that really helped on my return game, to take the pressure off."
"It's certainly hard. I've known Austin for a while. We're good friends and travel together, so that's not easy."
No. 22 Jose Hernandez, NORTH CAROLINA
"In the second set I was up 2-0 and lost 6-2, that's six straight games. I started thinking, just enjoy the tournament. Not everyone gets the privilege to be in the second round in the third set. Whatever happened in the past is in the past. So I just started focusing on the present and try to enjoy the moment and every single point. Trying not to think about what happened in the past, but what I needed to do to get better.
"And it worked. Thank God it worked.
"Thank God I could manage that, and my coach helped me a lot to get that mindset."
"It means a lot to me and to my teammates. It's been a successful year for us and I wanted to thank my teammates for all their support. It's an honor to be in the Sweet 16 and represent my school."
No. 36 Marcel Thiemann, MISSISSIPPI
"This is my fifth time playing him. Last year at this tournament, I was down a set again and in the second set I came back, and won the match. The same thing happened today. I was down four match points. Somehow, I don't know how ... somehow, I got through.
"The difference was that I fought hard the whole time and stuck to my gameplan. I kept playing to my forehand.
"He's an amazing player. He would have deserved it just as much to win."

"I feel really well. Going into a tournament, the first match is always hard. I felt better today. I trust my game and I think it shows. I'm feeling good and I'm excited for the next matches to come, singles and doubles."
"Obviously, there are some players that I've played so many times that I know really well and some players that I don't know much about. That's when I use the first few games to understand what's the game of the opponent and how I can beat them. It really depends on who I'm playing and, of course, I try not to focus too much on what they're doing."
No. 3 Hilary Barte (3), STANFORD
"I feel good. After a heartbreaking loss in the (team) finals, I'm excited to get back out on the courts and get vengeance.
"The past two years we've gotten to the final as a team and I actually think it's better to go right to the individuals. You're in a rhythm and you're in match mode.
"Using my legs and seeing the ball really cleanly was definitely a focus. As far as the strategy, it's just a simple plan of high execution, because everyone's good."
No. 7 Allie Will (6), FLORIDA
"I thought I played really well today. It was a little windy and I had to move my feet a lot but I used my forehand a lot today and played really well."
"I've actually played [Boxx] twice this year and I knew that she had a really good game and that she was going to try to pressure me, so I tried to move the ball around as best I could, and I came out on top today."
No. 21 Aeriel Ellis, TEXAS
"I was just really smart about the way I played.... Placement, the balls I attacked on and the balls I didn't attack on. I started playing really well in the third set... I was focused more and stopped going for stupid shots I made her play more balls."
No. 25 Chelsey Gullickston, GEORGIA
"To be able to get through yesterday and to get through today, I started off slow and I had a few nerves throughout the match. I wasn't playing my best, but I knew I had to keep my game up and keep fighting because she was a great player. I'm just happy that I was able to move onto the next round."
"I think she played better when we were even pace. The first set I was trying to hit her off the court and she was just coming back with harder balls. In the second and third set I'd mix it up more and change up the speed of balls and give her a different look."

I personally like the name Dixie (for a girl, but it could work for a boy aswell), I think it really works for little coloured ponies... Oooh exciting though!
I recon when it comes out the name will either fit or it won't, you'll find what works. Good luck!

You CAN take it with you!
By Robin Cherry
Sometimes a car ferry is the only way to get there, and sometimes it's just the most fun way: You can soak up the view from the comfort and convenience of your Traverse (while listening to your favorite CDs). Regardless, it's always an opportunity to pack more stuff: Since the midsize Traverse has more room (with 116.3 cubic feet of cargo space*) than some large SUVs, you can take everything—and we mean everything—you want. Full-sized toiletries? Check. Beach umbrella? Why not? Great Dane? Hop in, Duke. This really is a fairy tale come true: How else could you transport all your vacation must-haves on a trip over water without paying checking fees or worrying about traffic or other drivers?
Here are four fabulous itineraries:
Don't miss the playful porpoises that love to glide alongside the ferry from Cedar Island, North Carolina to Ocracoke, the most low-key of the Outer Banks islands. There are no bridges to Ocracoke—and you'll want to have a car to see the barrier island's attractions, many of which are free. Its wide, sandy beaches, part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, were declared some of the best in the nation by Dr. Beach. The picturesque lighthouse, built in 1823, is the oldest in North Carolina and the second oldest in the country. And don't forget your surfboard: Ocracoke has some of the best boarding there is.
The ferry that departs from Narragansett, Rhode Island to Block Island takes you past rocky bluffs and the octagonal Port Judith lighthouse, built in 1857. After your one-hour, 10-mile trip, you arrive at the island's lively waterfront. The small island, just 10 square miles, packs a walloping 17 miles of stunning shoreline, 365 freshwater ponds and 25 miles of hiking trails into its postage stamp-sized borders. Check out the spectacular sunset from the wraparound veranda at The Atlantic Hotel, a Victorian inn built in 1897, and you'll see why people call Block Island the "Bermuda of the North." Hike through the grassy meadows and vistas of the Greenway Trails that crisscross the island and you'll learn why the Nature Conservancy called it "One of the Last Twelve Great Places in the Western Hemisphere."
From Seattle, drive roughly two hours north to Anacortes, Washington, the gateway to the San Juan Islands. The one-hour-and-45-minute ride is usually smooth sailing, as the waters are protected by the neighboring islands of the archipelago, whose shores are lined with fir trees. Up on the ferry's deck, people leave uncompleted jigsaw puzzles—which you're free to finish—but don't forget the view. The ride to Friday Harbor is one of the best vantage points in the world from which to see magnificent Orcas. As you pull into the harbor, you'll see moored antique boats and seals sunning themselves on the rocks. As the islands are set in the shadow of the Olympic Mountains, your chance of rain is much lower here than in Seattle.
The S.S. Badger has been ferrying travelers (and their cars) across Lake Michigan from Manitowoc, Wisconsin to Ludington, Michigan for 60 years. The only coal-powered steamship still in operation in the United States, its unique propulsion system has been designated a national mechanical engineering landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. And the relaxing four-hour, 60-mile crossing has amenities for the entire family: There's an on-board gift shop, a museum, a video arcade, a children's playroom, two free TV lounges and a free movie lounge. Manitowoc is home to the scenic Mariner's Trail, a paved seven-mile foot and bike trail that runs along the shores of Lake Michigan. Ludington is home to Stearns Park, which has a beach, a skate park, mini-golf and free parking. Fishermen, make sure you load your rods and tackle into the Traverse: Hamlin Lake, four miles north of Ludington, is Michigan's best salmon port.

What happens when you stick the two Power Nine staples Ancestral Recall and Time Walk onto the same card? You get Plea for Power, one of the newest cards from Wizards of the Coast's upcoming expert Magic: The Gathering expansion set Conspiracy, which was revealed during Pro Tour Journey into Nyx.
Plea for Power - 3U
Sorcery (Rare)
Will of the council - Starting with you, each player votes for time or knowledge. If time gets more votes, take an extra turn after this one. If knowledge gets more votes or the vote is tied, draw three cards.
Because Conspiracy booster drafts are four player games, Plea for Power is a very political card. Are the other people in the game okay with you taking another turn and potentially killing them, or would they rather you draw three extra cards?
Plea for Power is less one blue expensive to cast compared to Time Warp, however you aren't guaranteed to take another turn. You'll need to make alliances with other people in the game if you want to abuse Plea for Power to its fullest, at least without any help from cards which allow you to get multiple votes.
At its worst you'll draw three cards for four mana, which really isn't too shabby when you consider the costs of other draw spells such as Concentrate. With only one blue mana required in its casting cost, Plea for Power is much easier to play in multicolored decks.
How will you use Plea for Power?

Best B&B we've ever visited
Very very impressed, first impressions were excellent.
Friendly and helpful owners. Offering to help with our bags on arrival. Showed us to our room. Which was spotlessly clean. The tastefully modern decor and chunky furniture are excellent. We've stayed in many B&Bs over the years and this is the best by far. The bed is heavenly comfortable and the well stocked bathroom are an added bonus. Very well thought out. It's a stunning and lovingly cared for home. The owners David and Chris definitely go that extra mile to make sure you have a comfortable stay...which is wonderful to see. We were invited down for a coffee/tea with a cake once we had unpacked. Which offers that personal touch thats rarely seen in larger b&bs but very much welcomed after a long drive. The owner joining us for a chat. Offering lots of help and advice re local amenities, restaurants etc and we met the owners two very well behaved dogs Charlie and Jack. Very flexible with breakfast times and a fantastic choice available. The roaring fire, sun room, and attention to detail make it a truly special place to stay. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommended to all x

Hi all,
Unfortunately, last night I somehow managed to damage my Dynavector 10x5. The cantilever was bent to one side, twisted, and the diamond stylus appears to be completely missing. I'm not sure how it happened; I certainly don't recall giving it a knock.
What are my options? Is it worth repairing the 10x5 (eg with Expert Stylus & Cartridge Co.) or should I get something else? Also, is it worth making a claim on my home insurance? (I have accidental damage cover).
My currect setup is a Jelco SA-750D mounted on a Michell Gyro SE, feeding a Tag Mclaren PPA20, Tag DPA32R, Tag 125M x2 into Monitor Audio GR20s.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How Can You Boost Your Savings?

Kids are back in school and summer is winding down. So, many of you are probably trying to close your wallets for a while after all your summer expenses and we want to help get you back on track!
Financial experts say the best thing to do is to create a smart budget. To save your money, you have to first figure out where your money is going. Then you have to see what is necessary and what isn't so important. From there your budget begins.
According to a study, 71% of people have financial worries and 31% of them say their biggest concern is not having enough savings. Experts say that's where planning and investing comes into play because if you just park your money in a savings account and leave it alone for years it could decrease in purchasing power.
"It's an insidious situation because you might feel comfortable, but you get down the road it doesn't show up right in front of us this year or next year. It shows up 5, 10, 15 years down the road. You need to have appropriate investments that offset that insidious nature of inflation," said Chris Fry, Financial Advisor.

Megan-Louise Preston, founder of Awareness Through Dance, says: "It was so encouraging to see all types of people from the industry coming together and talking in such a positive manner, coming up with ideas and ways to progress together rather than struggling by ourselves."
The Awareness Through Dance events aim to encourage relationships so dancers can progress in a positive and collaborative way. The event included a special performance by Slum Civilians Dance Company in choreography by London Dyer.

Real Reviews
Real reviews from fellow travellers
These are trusted reviews from guests who have actually stayed here. We hope you find them helpful.
Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- Page:1/1
- " Despite the other bad reviews for this place, we booked because we were on a budget and we had a car but honestly, don't stay here. We were the only guests in the building, it was in a run down building, and there were spiders everywhere. The beds were a wooden box with a thin pad on top. The man we had to call to let us in was unfriendly and had nothing to say to us. In the morning we woke up to the men working in the workshop below us and 1 was frustrated that we were using the only bathroom. "
- 29 Jun 2014 Lindsey USA
- " As a hostel Pension Village got everything that is needed, kitchen access, free wi-fi, always warm water etc. Rooms are very quiet, beds are comfortable, everything is clean and ready for guests from very beginning of the visit. The price/condition factor is very good. As for the distance to the city center it is rather recommended to drive to rather than walk. Of course if someone likes walking there is also plenty to see on the road to center part of the city. "
- 17 Aug 2013 Szymon Poland
- " This is the worst we ever been. If your only criteria is the price go for this one (very cheap compare to the other one in this city) but it is the only good point about this hostel. Nothink is finish! the walls are still in plaster, a old and gross carpet is just put on the unfinish floor, there is a kitchen but nothing to clean the dish. etc.! Also, there is no reception and you have to go at the store next door to get the key and the woman don't speak a word of english wich can be complecated "

JAPAN: Rogue trading hits Honda Motor Q3 pre-tax earnings
By Graeme Roberts | 25 January 2011
Honda Motor on Tuesday said "inappropriate trading activities" by the seafood section of the foodstuff division of consolidated subsidiary Honda Trading Corporation (HT) would reduce the automaker's third fiscal quarter pre-tax earnings by about JPY15bn (US$181.1m).
"The company deeply regrets any concern or difficulty that this matter may have caused its shareholders, business partners or other stakeholders," Honda said in a statement.
It said it learned last month of "inappropriate trading activity with several seafood companies by HT's seafood section" and immediately formed an investigation committee headed by an executive vice president, Koichi Kondo.
It added that an employee "became involved in purchasing inventory significantly over priced compared to market price, and repetitive trading and circular trading of the same inventory among a number of its business partners".
"The company's investigation committee is continuing its investigation into the cause, responsible persons, measures to prevent future occurrences, and the occurrence of any similar inappropriate trading activity, and will announce results as soon as they become available," the automaker added.
Honda Trading's main operations include trading of auto and motorcycle parts, raw materials and finished vehicles as well as food products.
In the fiscal year ended March 2010, it had JPY588.6bn in sales, according to a Dow Jones report.

One of the best old-fashioned, cottage garden flowers, aquilegias produce bonnet- shaped flowers that will add an informal note to any planting scheme.'White bonnets' is a lovely variety with pale green foliage and creamy-white flowers. It blooms in early summer, and is a useful plant for bridging the gap between late spring bulbs and early summer perennials. Like all aquilegias it will self-seed prolifically, however the resulting seedlings will often differ from their parents. To keep varieties true to type, deadhead by cutting flowered stems off close to ground level shortly after flowering, to prevent self-seeding.

People often compete to beat the record for largest known prime (it is currently $2^{57,885,161}-1$). There are also big money prizes for finding explicit prime numbers exceeding specific magnitudes.
But what would happen if you searched for huge squarefree integers instead? Is a simple formula known which gives huge squarefree integers? As an example, if it was proved (unexpectedly) that all Fermat numbers $F_m = 2^{2^m}+1$ were squarefree, it would be trivial to find billion-digit squarefree numbers.
Since the asymptotic (natural) density of the squarefree numbers is $\frac{6}{\pi^2}\approx 61\%$ (while for the primes the density is zero), maybe it is much easier to find a simple formula for squarefree numbers?
(It is trivial to come up with a formula yielding huge non-squarefree numbers of course, and they constitute only $39\%$.)
I know one can use the sieve of Eratosthenes to generate a list of distinct primes and then take the product of the entire list (a "primorial" number), but can a simpler expression in one integer variable be found to yield only squarefree numbers?

Dolby at CES, Offers Surround Sound for Phones
This one took me completely by surprise, as I had not heard any mention of it until I came across Dolby's booth at CES 2009. Turns out that Dolby is working on a way to bring its landmark 5.1 surround sound to our cell phones.
I was given a LG Renoir and some headphones, and was told to listen to the difference between normal and Dolby surround — and it was a rather large difference. I'm still amazed to see this type of technology being offered, as it just seems crazy that I could be listening to 5.1 through headphones coming out of my cell phone.
No word on when we can expect this out. I was told that first Dolby has to find companies interested enough to build the tech into their phones directly, as it will not be supported by phones without it being built in.

Just this afternoon, Aug. 13, 2014 (Manila time) or this morning, Aug. 13, 2014 (U.S. time) pep.ph posted its interview with the controversial TV host-singer Billy Crawford. Billy received criticisms after he posted a comment on a short video of a dog scratching its sensitive part which was posted by Luis Manzano on his social media account. Based on a posted article of pep.ph, popsters and AshMatt got mad at Billy because of his below the belt comment.
Allegedly, Billy Crawford commented that said video is for Matteo Guidicelli, his friend and co-star in the movie "Moron 5," because the latter is almost ten months diet now. After reading his comment, popsters and AshMatt took to their social media accounts and expressed their feelings for the TV host-singer's controversial remarks, according to them; Billy had made a mistake, therefore, he should issue an apology.
In his interview with pep, Billy Crawford, present boyfriend of Coleen Garcia, one of his co-hosts in the popular noon time variety show "It's Showtime" which airs on ABS-CBN from Monday to Friday, defended himself from the netizens' bad impression, based on his explanation, some people are just overreacting because he was just joking when he commented on a video of a dog scratching its private part.
"I don't' know. For us we're close friends. We were just joking and it's none of anyone's business when we are joking," Billy Crawford said. But if Billy has already cleared his name on the issue; Matteo Guidicelli, the hunk actor who is now busy doing several projects on Regal Films and ABS-CBN, remains calm and cool.
On the other hand, Sarah Geronimo is also keeping her silence regarding the issue. There are reports confirming her scheduled double date with Ryan Agoncillo and Judy Ann Santos this coming Aug. 20 to watch "Somebody To Love," a love-comedy movie from Regal Films starring Iza Calzado, Isabelle Diaz Daza and Carla Abellana. Incidentally, aside from Matteo and Luis, Billy told pep.ph that Marvin Agustin is also included in the movie "Moron 5."

To the army chaplain hiding in the rubble
of the bombed church, the bright red fragment from a stained-glass window
looked like the blood spilled on the battlefield that morning. It was
1944 and the late Maj. Rev. Harold Appleyard's Royal Regiment of Canada
had just lost 40 men at Louvigny, France, following the D-Day landings.
Appleyard, on leave from his parish in Meaford, Ont., on Georgian Bay, pocketed
the shard.
He already had a collection of stained-glass fragments he had gathered
from the bombed ruins of more than 100 churches and cathedrals in Britain,
Belgium and Holland during his three-and-a-half-year tour of duty, but it
was that one red piece that became his inspiration. He decided to have his
collection made into a window to take home as a memorial to the war dead.
In fact, he had enough glass for six windows.
Today the parishioners of Meaford's Christ Church Anglican are illuminated
by what is arguably some of the oldest and finest stained glass in
North America.
"During my first few moments in England, the appalling destruction
of homes and churches alike, along with the courage of the British people,
made it desirable to link their sacrifice with ours," Appleyard
said in an August 1946 service dedicating the windows to the war dead of
the parish.
Olive Sims, 78, a member of the church since childhood, remembers the
dedication service, which was broadcast across Canada and in Britain. "I
was making the lunch but I went up for the service and found all those people
had come to see our windows," she says.
"It wasn't about which denomination or where they lived, he wanted
the windows to honour them all," says Archdeacon Ted Light, 84, who
befriended Appleyard after the war. "The old glass has an incredible
depth of colour. It has to be seen to be appreciated."
"I usually was able to find someone to approve what I wanted
to take, but occasionally permission had to be taken for granted,"
Appleyard said in an interview with the local paper, the Meaford Express,
after the war.
"Britain finally passed a law stating the glass couldn't be
taken out of the country, but he got ours out in time," says Sims.
Another Canadian chaplain, Maj. Rev. Robert Sneyd, also salvaged stained-glass
fragments from bombed churches in England. Those were incorporated with
new glass to form a memorial window in Calvary Baptist Church in Toronto
in 1952.
Appleyard, who was awarded a military cross, returned to his Meaford
parish after the war and became a bishop in 1961. He died in 1982.

Shaw is based in Owen Sound, Ont.

Just this morning, March 24, 2014, a report from ABS-CBN News confirmed that some sex scenes from the movie Rigodon starring Yam Concepcion and John James Uy, are making the rounds not only on the video-sharing website YouTube but also in some porn sites as well.
Immediately after reading the report, the sexy actress Yam Concepcion aired her disappointment on TV Patrol, one of the most credible news programs in the Philippines which airs on ABS-CBN. "I am not a bold star, I am a sexy actress. I feel like I am violated," Yam told ABS-CBN News. In Rigodon, the sexy actress played Sarah, a girl who was abandoned by her boyfriend Riki, played by actor John James Uy.
Directed by Erik Matti, one of the box office movie directors in the country, Rigodon was released in theaters nationwide last Nov. 21, 2012. Last year, Yam was also seen in Dugong Buhay (Living Blood) starring Ejay Falcon, Arjo Atayde, Sunshine Cruz and Meg Imperial.
Incidentally, before she entered showbiz, she was a drummer for rock band Ursa Minor. She was scouted by Viva Talent in a music video for the band Mayonnaise. Meanwhile, if Yam Concepcion has already shared her disappointment on the issue, John James Uy, her leading man in the movie, is still keeping his silence.

Max OS X. When I double-click on a python script it opens in the default editor. How might I make it so that when I double-click, or choose the script from Applications, it executes from the python interpreter? From the "open with" option it does not appear that I can choose /usr/bin/python.
Now if you want .py files to always launch with python:
Seems like it would be easier to just fire up the terminal and type "python /path-to-script/scriptname"? If not, there's apparently a way to get Apple script to do this, according to this stack overflow post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14793391/easy-way-to-launch-python-scripts-with-the-mouse-in-os-x
In either case, you'll need to know the full path to the script.
I suggest you install the latest version of Python (not the one installed on Mac OS X as of Mountain Lion). It includes PythonLauncher that does just what you want.

I know the Spellscale's Blood Quickening ability can grant you temporary feats for a day, including limited-use metamagic feats, but would this make it worth forgoing the actual feats themselves?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The Spellscale's racial abilities are another consideration for your choice of feats, but they do not, themselves, make other metamagic feats pointless.
Metamagic is kind of awkward in 3.5. Most metamagic feats, including all of those that the Spellscale can get, cost more than they're usually worth: they might occasionally be worthwhile (particularly high-power ones like Quicken Spell), but they're too costly to use all the time and the regular spells of the heightened spell level are better.
So a spellcaster focusing on metamagic has to do something about that, by investing "metamagic reducers," options (mostly feats) that make metamagic cost less.1 But because you have to invest resources in making your metamagic usable, now you want to be able to use it all the time. Blood Quickening is useless for this, and a Spellscale metamagic specialist probably wouldn't bother with the meditations that grant Metamagic feats at all, since they would take the good ones themselves.
Ironically, Quicken Blood is better for Spellscales who aren't using much metamagic: they might have a decent one available in one of those cases where it's useful, without burning a full-time feat on it.
1 Metamagic reducers can very quickly lead to absurd amounts of power. For example, enervation is a classic spell for this, and it's quite possible to be handing out a dozen or more negative levels per turn with stuff like Quicken Spell, Split Ray, Empower Spell, etc. etc. So really focusing on metamagic should be considered a fairly high-optimization tactic that is not appropriate for every table (though it can probably be used in moderation at many tables).
Considering that Empower and Improved Counterspell are the most useful (in combat sense) feats of those available via Blood Quickening, the question is whether you want to focus on metamagic or not. If yes, then Blood Quickening won't be enough and you should take actual feats (and metamagic cost reducers, and metamagic rods, and whatnot). If no, then Blood Quickening is a nice ability that will cover all of your metamagic need except maybe Extend.

|In 1982 Mañé announced (later proved by Bochi) that generic conservative surface diffeomorphisms are either Anosov or else all Lyapunov exponents vanish almost everywhere. He pointed out the difficulties of obtaining similar results for higher dimensional manifolds, including the fact that conservative diffeomorphisms are not necessarily symplectic. Here we show that for a generic conservative diffeomorphism in a 3-manifold, either all Lyapunov exponents vanish almost everywhere, or else the system is non-uniformly hyperbolic. It is known that the generic non-uniformly hyperbolic diffeomorphism is ergodic, and its Oseledets splitting is globally dominated.

Telonics Data Converter (TDC) converts raw data from Telonics transmitting subsystems into data reports formatted as comma-separated values (CSV). TDC generates report data using standard engineering units and associates it with the time of its acquisition. You can review TDC reports in any spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel, and you can also use your own custom software to process reports electronically. In addition to generating standard CSV reports, TDC also creates files compatible with Google Earth so that you can map transmitter locations interactively. Telonics Data Converter even maintains a list of your transmitters and their data-conversion settings so you can generate new data reports efficiently throughout your study. TDC supports Telonics' current family of Argos transmitters and newest Gen4 GPS units.
Telonics Data Converter can convert raw data and create reports from the following sources:
In addition to converting raw data, TDC also performs the following tasks:
Telonics Data Converter works in concert with Telonics Product Programmer (TPP) to provide you with complete control over your transmitters and your data. TDC retrieves all required data-conversion settings for your transmitters from the TPP Parameter File(s) used to program them. Any programming changes you make using TPP become available to TDC directly through the parameter files.
There are two ways to download and install Telonics Data Converter. Most users should use the online installation, since it is faster and easier to install. To use the online installation, you must be connected to the Internet when you run the setup program. If you need to install TDC on a computer that does not have Internet access, you should download and burn the CD image. You can then use this CD to install TDC without an Internet connection. Remember, a Telonics license permits you to run TDC on only one computer at any given time. Concurrent use of the program on more than one computer is not permitted unless you purchase multiple licenses.

According to Fox News on Wednesday, infants with hearty appetites may be more likely to have a genetic predisposition to obesity.
In two linked studies, British researchers found that infants with greater appetites grew faster during a 15-month span, increasing their risk for obesity. Their desire to eat more might be genetic, the findings also suggested.
"Appetite is key and it would be sensible for parents to keep an eye on children who appear to be responding to food a lot more avidly than their peers," said lead researcher Clare Llewellyn, a lecturer in behavioral obesity research at the Health Behavior Research Center at University College London.
Llewellyn and her colleagues looked closely at 800 non-identical, same-sex twins born in the United Kingdom in 2007. From these, they followed a smaller number of pairs of twins to examine their food responsiveness (the urge to eat in response to the sight or smell of food) and satiety responsiveness (the desire to eat in response to the body's "fullness" triggers).
At 6 months old, the more food-responsive twin was, on average, 1.4 pounds heavier than the other twin, the researchers found. At 15 months, the more food-responsive twin was 2.1 pounds heavier. In addition, the less satiety-responsive twin was 1.4 pounds heavier than the other twin at 6 months, and 2 pounds heavier at 15 months.
Another study published in JAMA Pediatrics, also from researchers at UCL, studied whether low satiety responsiveness – a reduced urge to respond to the body's 'fullness' signals – was linked to a genetic predisposition to obesity. Those researcher looked at 2,258 10-year-old children, researchers discovered that children with more genetic obesity risk variants were also more likely to have low satiety responsiveness.
The resolution of this apparent paradox may lie in the influence genes have on appetite, by reducing or not reducing the urge to eat in response to internal fullness signals, called satiety, Llewellyn said.
"Recent changes to the food environment have played a causal role in the increases in population weight," she said. As food becomes more readily available, people of all ages "who have inherited genes that make them feel less full are more likely to overeat and gain weight."
Parents should prevent excess weight gain by being strict about the foods available, keeping snacks hidden and restricting the amount of food their children eat, Llewellyn said.

Even before Andi Dorfman stars as The Bachelorette 2014 for Season 10 of the hit ABC show, another spinoff of the popular Bachelor franchise is garnering viewer interest.
Bachelor in Paradise, which will have a cast made up of past Bachelor and Bachelorette fan favorites, will air over the summer as a six-episode mini-season. Get more details here below the jump!
Andi Dorfman Stars as 'The Bachelorette' 2014; Plus, Past Cast Members Return for New ABC Series
Basically, a number of reasonably attractive men and women will be put up at a beautiful resort in a remote location and forced to interact with no one but each other in the hopes that relationships form. There will no doubt be a competitive spin, and we believe the rose ceremony will play a role, but we aren't sure how Bachelor in Paradise eliminations will play out just yet.
An ABC press release concerning the show outlined the main features of the show, saying, "Contestants will live together in an isolated romantic paradise and, over the course of six episodes, we'll follow these former bachelors and bachelorettes as they explore new romantic relationships. America will watch as they fall in love or go through renewed heartbreak.
The romantic dating series will feature new twists, shocking surprises, unexpected guests and some of the most unlikely relationships in Bachelor history, plus all the usual romance, drama and tears we've come to expect from the Bachelor franchise."
The premise reminds us of Paradise Hotel, a Fox reality show that first aired over a decade ago, but ran for a second season in 2008.
