Ecuador to Use China Loan to Help Finance its Budget
Ecuador, home to South America's third-largest oil reserves, will finance its 2013 budget deficit with a $2 billion loan from China, Finance Minister Patricio Rivera said today.
The government will use the loan to help cover financing needs of $6 billion next year, Rivera said today in a joint news conference with President Rafael Correa in Quito.
Correa has relied on windfall oil profits and loans from China to help finance spending since Ecuador's $3.2 billion bond default in 2008 and 2009 locked the nation out of global credit markets. As oil prices rose this year to an average $95.69 per barrel, about $16 more than forecast in Ecuador's 2012 budget, the country scrapped a planned bond sale and put a previously announced $1.7 billion credit line from China on hold.
"We already had an agreement with the People's Republic of China for a payment that we haven't had to use this year," Rivera said at the presidential palace in Quito. "Originally, it was $1.7 billion. They raised it a little in the negotiation process and now it's $2 billion."
Ecuador will use loans tied to specific public works projects from regional multilateral lenders to cover the majority of its 2013 financing needs, Rivera said, without providing more details.

The best time to register for DrupalCon Dublin is now. Earlybird discounts end July 29.
For Drupal 7, see https://www.drupal.org/node/1861064
Drupal 8 has a whole new configuration system that uses human-readable text files in the YAML (.yml) format to store configuration items. All of your site configuration from enabled modules through fields, contact categories to views are stored with this system. The system is designed to make it much easier than prior Drupal versions to export all your site configuration, make changes and import changes back in.
The Configuration Manager module in Drupal 8 provides a user interface for importing and exporting configuration changes between a Drupal installation in different environments, such as Development, Staging and Production, so you can make and verify your changes with a comfortable distance from your live environment.
This allows you to deploy a configuration from one environment to another, provided they are the same site. The site is identified using a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) located in the system.site.yml file. The site UUID must match the target site to allow any importing of configuration files on that site.
This capability replaces the need for various contributed modules such as Features and Strongarm.

HEALTHY Muskegon
Healthy Eating and Access – Local Teams Helping Youth
The HEALTHY Muskegon program is committed to the goal of providing fresh, local, healthy food for everyone in our community. Through a re-granting program, network meetings, learning journeys, shared knowledge and experience, we work together with HEALTHY Muskegon to improve our community's health. Take a look at our list of grant recipients to see what great work is going on in our community!
Community Foundation Awarded $315,000 Grant
[January 2016] - The Community Foundation for Muskegon County announced it has been awarded a grant of $315,000 from the Michigan Health Endowment Fund (MHEF) to support initiatives that will improve access to and consumption of healthy food for children and seniors in Muskegon, Oceana, Mason, and Manistee counties.
In Muskegon, this grant will continue and expand the efforts started through the W.K. Kellogg funded HEALTHY (Healthy Eating and Access – Local Teams Helping Youth) Muskegon initiative.
"We've seen huge growth in local food work in Muskegon," said Chris McGuigan, Foundation president/CEO. "This grant allows the Foundation to support established projects as well as new ideas, and will continue the networking activities that create the connections necessary for these projects – and for our community – to thrive."
Muskegon community access to these funds will be through a competitive grantmaking process that is open to nonprofit organizations including schools, governmental units, faith-based organizations and 501(c)3 nonprofits that serve residents of Muskegon County with a special emphasis on low-income children and seniors. Grant applications must focus on producing significant impact on:
- Increasing access to healthy food for children and seniors in poverty
- Community or systems changes that strengthen the local food system in disadvantaged areas
- Economic growth around sustainable community-based food systems programs
The grant application opens January 15, 2016. Those interested in applying for funding are encouraged to attend a grant workshop on Thursday, January 21 at 3:30 p.m. in the Hilt Building, 427 W. Western Ave.
The grant deadline is March 1, 2016. Applications will be reviewed by the HEALTHY Muskegon Community Advisory Council and awards will be announced on or before April 30, 2016.
Complete application details are included in the RFP. Download here.
Muskegon Food Hub Operation Study
[July 2015] - A new study looking at ways to grow Muskegon and the west Michigan lakeshore regional food system has offered recommendations for a "food hub" that brings growers and buyers together in ways that maintain the food value chain from farm to customer and can increase the amount of healthy food in communities that lack grocery stores.
This study was conducted by Marty Gerencer, principal, Morse Marketing Connections, and Evan Smith, Cherry Capital Foods, guided by a community advisory council and a host of local, state and national local foods experts. The project was funded by Consumers Energy and U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development and administered by the Community Foundation for Muskegon County.

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Few novelists have ever attempted so broad a canvas as George Eliot in her masterpiece, Middlemarch."" Portraying every level of social life in a provincial Midlands town called Middlemarch, she interweaves several intensely dramatic stories of love and death, betrayal and reconciliation, into one of the finest pictures of nineteenth-century England ever created. Its acute psychological penetration also makes it an exceptionally modern work, particularly in the romantic idealism of Dorothea Brooke, who often resembles George Eliot herself, and in the disastrous marriage and thwarted career of the young reformist doctor, Lydgate. Virginia Woolf called it one of the few English novels written for grown-up people and it is truly great literature that ranks among the best novels in the world.
About the Author
George Eliot was the pseudonym for Mary Anne Evans, one of the leading writers of the Victorian era, who published seven major novels and several translations during her career. She started her career as a sub-editor for the left-wing journal The Westminster Review, contributing politically charged essays and reviews before turning her attention to novels. Among Eliot s best-known works are Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda, in which she explores aspects of human psychology, focusing on the rural outsider and the politics of small-town life. Eliot died in 1880.
Praise For…
"No Victorian novel approaches Middlemarch in its width of reference, its intellectual power, or the imperturbable spaciousness of its narrative."—V. S. Pritchett

- Client send commands to the at a rate of 33.33Hz (30ms), so on average there are two commands per packet are sent to the server
- 30ms Client sends two commands to the server
- 60ms Client sends two more commands to the server
- The server receives both batches of commands from the client at the same time due to lag/etc.
- Now the client continues to send two commands every 30ms
- The server de-queues one command every 15ms, but will never catch up to the "latest" command due to there always arriving more commands and the initial "burst" of 2x2 commands due to network lag
I've come up with a couple of options, none seems really satisfying:
- Limit the command queue to two commands and drop everything else, this will cause the occasional dropped package but it's not that big of a deal since it can be smoothed out
- Execute commands as fast as they come in to keep up with the client. This feels like it would open up the server for cheating though, by sending commands at a blazing speed to move your character faster for example. Maybe there is some clever way of deducing when commands are valid even when they coming in bursts to disable the ability to cheat.

Those no-cost spots were a huge draw, to be sure, but airport authorities have now decided to pull the plug . The airport said it will stop the free parking deal in March, in part to reduce the growing volume of electric cars circling the lot waiting for one of the coveted spots to open up.

Work the Shell - Understanding Shell Script Shorthand
Oh happy day! I got an e-mail from a reader with a shell script question that didn't appear to be homework from a programming class or anything to do with hacking passwords. The reader wrote:
I am reading the scripts in the /etc/init.d directory. I am very new to such scripts and don't understand how they're written. In every script, there are statements like:[ -x /usr/sbin/halt ] || exit 0
What is the meaning of this? Why is || used here?
Also, in the "stop" case of the halt dæmon init script, there is this sentence:[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$sname
I don't understand what these do. Can you explain?
With apologies to my old friend Larry Wall, this is what I call the "Perl syndrome" (though if we really want to go back in time, I saw this same problem with Algol-68 and PL/I, among others, and even worse in Ada)—obfuscated code because of the ability of programmers to abbreviate their code to make it shorter and, sometimes, more efficient.
Looking at the filesystem explains one of these structures. Check this out:
$ ls -l /bin/[ -r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 46704 Sep 23 20:35 /bin/[* $ ls -l /bin/test -r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 46704 Sep 23 20:35 /bin/test*
It may seem odd, but there's actually a file in the /bin directory in Linux that is called [, and it's synonymous with the test utility. You can learn about it by typing man test in a terminal window, but it's actually more complicated than that, because modern shells (such as Bash) have test built in to the shell code itself for performance reasons. So, there are actually three different versions of test.
If you do opt to use the [ version, the program requires that you have a matching ] for syntactic cleanliness (e-hygiene?). If you omit it, you'll get -bash: [: missing `]' as an error.
So, that first statement, [ -x /usr/sbin/halt ] || exit 0, can be unwrapped initially as a test, and a quick glance at man test reveals that the -x test is for checking whether the named file exists and is executable. Basically, this statement ensures that there's a /usr/sbin/halt script before it executes it to avoid any errors. This is a portability test. If you are missing that script, you have some serious problems, but a lot of system scripts are written this way.
Now, on to the || notation. Along with its partner &&, these two notations cause a lot of confusion for people delving into scripts, so let's start by reading what the Bash man page says about them (man bash):
command1 && command2 command2 is executed if, and only if, command1 returns an exit status of zero. command1 || command2 command2 is executed if and only if command1 returns a non-zero exit status. The return status of AND and OR lists is the exit status of the last command executed in the list.
Clear as mud, right? This will become more clear when we go back to the test man page and find out that "The test utility exits with one of the following values: 0 = expression evaluated to true, 1 = expression evaluated to false or expression was missing."
So, the logic here is that the [] test is performed to see whether the script exists and is executable, and if it fails, the exit 0 is performed. How do you know if it fails? The test statement would return an exit value of 1.
Now, let's look at the second statement with this in mind. You asked about this statement:
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$sname
Again, the [ is a shorthand notation for the test application. RETVAL is a system variable, and the -eq is a numeric test for equality. In this case, the return value again determines whether the test is true or false. If it's true (a zero return value), the touch command is used to set what's called a semaphore—a lock file to indicate to other scripts that the $sname subsystem is locked up and unavailable to modify.
This is actually a pretty sloppy way to set a semaphore because it's not atomic. There is a distinct likelihood that in the interim between the first RETVAL test and the touch command, the script will be swapped out for a few milliseconds and another script run. This means that two scripts possibly could both believe they've locked the file—something called a race condition in computer science theory, and something that is obviously not a good thing.
Anyway, I'm not supposed to be debugging system scripts. So, suffice it to say that the purpose of the statement is to test the return value of a previous command (there's probably a statement like RETVAL=$? on the previous line, as $? is shorthand for the return value of the previous shell command). If the test is true, the temporary file is "touched" (that is, it's created and given a creation timestamp of the current date and time).
Later in the script, there is undoubtedly a statement like rm -f /var/lock/subsys/$sname, and in fact, a cleaner way to write it would be to trap exit conditions and make sure that the lock file isn't left around, even if the script errors out. This is done with the trap shell command. Error condition 0 is a standard termination, so one clean way to write this is as follows:
trap "/bin/rm -f /var/lock/subsys/$sname" 0
This provides a lot of flexibility, because you can capture any of the dozens of possible signals like SIGINT (interrupt) or SIGHUP (hangup).
Anyway, you're not the first to be baffled by system scripts, but as you can see, a bit of persistence reveals all.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Cheap eats in Camden
Discover Camden's best cheap restaurants and other places to eat out on a budget
Chin Chin Laboratorists
Now a fixture of Camden Market, the innovative Chin Chin Labs – where ice-cream is frozen to order amid billowing clouds of liquid nitrogen-generated steam – may not seem as wacky as it once did, but there are always new tourists to surprise, and plenty of regulars happy to queue for the fabulous ice-cream. The menu is commendably short: chocolate, vanilla and two specials – one ice-cream, one dairy-free sorbet. The latter always astounds with its fat-free creaminess and cool flavours, such as griddled peach, watermelon and dill, or beetroot choc chip. Haute cuisine references are frequent in flavours such as coffee and tobacco, or Guinness caramel with smoked salt. Experimental, yes, but the results are reliably superb. Pimp your tub with a veritable chemistry set of sprinkles and sauces (we liked the white chocolate-coated potato chips with our summery strawberry and hay ice-cream) – you too can be a molecular gastronomist.Read more
Noodles in soup stock might seem like a simple concept, but finding a decent bowl of ramen, one of Japan's many noodle soup varieties, can prove tricky in London at times. This relocated Japanese caff, formerly Ramen Seto in Soho, don't do a bad job. There are a few varieties on offer like soya sauce (shoyu), miso and Korean pickled cabbage (kimchi). All are made with an earthy chicken and pork bone broth and filled with pleasingly chewy noodles. Another ramen shop staple, pork gyoza dumplings, make a good choice too with crisp bottoms and bouncy wrappers. Also available are a range of set meals like teriyaki, tempura or sashimi served with rice and miso soup none of which will break the bank.Read more
The Diner
The Camden branch of this popular chain was packed when we went for lunch, and the loud soundtrack (Johnny Cash, the Stones) made conversation difficult. Even more difficult was figuring out the appeal of the place, with its dark walls distinctly un-diner-like and its menu that reads like nothing you'll see in US diners. This chain is basically about burgers, breakfast and booze – with a section of hot dogs and a few sandwiches and salads thrown in. We could live without the authenticity if the Diner's food were better. In our two sandwiches, grilled cajun chicken breast and the 'Diner Po Boy', made with soft-shell crab, execution was woeful: stiffly breaded crabs had little taste of their own, and the fillings of swiss cheese (leathery), dill pickles and 'heirloom' tomatoes (both wilted) didn't make much impact. The chicken sandwich was marginally better, but again the filling were lacklustre. Coleslaw was way too sweet. Fries were the high point, crisp and hot, and service is sweet and smiling. Perhaps the burgers and dogs are better, but in all it's hard to see how someone who had eaten in a good American diner would want to eat at this Diner.Read more
The Bayou
Both the food and drink at this soulful Camden venue are influenced by America's South, and the live music follows suit. Expect, then, a fair bit of jazz, soul and blues providing the soundtrack to the bites and booze. The food menu could hardly be more Deep South. Dishes range from pulled pork with grit cakes, BBQ shrimps with biscuits and Louisiana crab cakes to crawfish and catfish gumbo, shrimp and chicken jambalaya, buttermilk fried chicken and blackened catfish with garlic prawns and a creole salad. Ribs, wings, steaks and burgers round things off. Keep an eye out for the 'blues brunch', with traditional Souther brunches served to live blues and jazz.Read more

I will never understand how such horrible indian kitchen like the Masala Zone gets 4 stars and a place like Maharani on Camden high street is not even mentioned. Also if you have not discovered "Tikino" yet, it's your own fault.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WagsVT One of the best Sheratons in New England I frequently stay at the Sheraton in Portsmouth, it's a great location and convenient to most areas in New England. The staff is always very professional and makes sure my stay is as good as it can be. Maria A. One of the front desk managers always goes out of her way to make sure I have a great room and is always generous with making my stay there as comfortable as possible. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to explore a great town and stay in a very nice hotel. They have an excellent gym and pool that is easily accessible too. May 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by FJP1 Wonderful New England experience This hotel is well served by a professional, courteous, and friendly staff. The facilities are well-maintained and inviting. This was my first trip to the New England and, because of my experience at the Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel it will not be my last. May 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by NEAPSConference May 2016 I attended a conference at the hotel. The property was well maintained, clean, and not dated. The staff was very helpful to the hotel guest and the conference committee members. General Manager and his staff checked in to make sure things were going well. Travis the bellman helped resolved some issues with the parking (not the hotel's fault) May 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by DebMG Exceeded my expectations A old college friend and I met for one night at the Sheraton in Portsmouth. The staff was extremely welcoming. My friend checked in before me, and when I arrived, the young man at the front desk mentioned my friend's arrival, and how he arranged to give us adjoining upgraded rooms since we were here for a special occasion. The room was immaculate. The lobby is very spacious, and a late night drink by the fireplace on a chilly rainy evening was just what we needed. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to other travelers. May 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by snakerstar Great Experience We had an excellent customer service experience we just had with the team in Portsmouth. Each member of the staff were extremely polite and professional and made our time in Portsmouth extremely enjoyable. They have a great team here to help with all your needs. May 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by golfer61 This hotel has excellent service and accommodations I recently stayed at Sheraton-Portsmouth to attend a conference and I found the accommodations to be excellent. Clean room, comfortable bed and maid service impeccable. The staff were very friendly and service spectacular! I would recommend this hotel without reservations. May 9, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike510 Home Away from Home Lately, the Sheraton in Portsmouth has been my home away from home. Even during my first stay, Sheraton staff recognized and acknowledged me by name from the time I drove up until when I drove away. Service is prompt, friendly, and very accommodating. The hotel has renovated two floors of rooms, and those are very nice. However, the others are, as well. The club lounge is great - good food and very well staffed. When I was late one night, the attendant saw me coming down the hall and left the food out for me so I could get some before closing. Very nice! The food in the restaurant is good, typical SPG experience. All-in-all, a very convenient, nice hotel in a nice town. I would recommend it highly to anyone traveling in the vicinity. May 7, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by Kristie603 Outdated and not worth the price Pros: Friendly and courteous staff Hot food in club lounge Proximity to local restaurants/shopping Cons: Room condition is very poor - peeling wallpaper, carpets are loose and dingy, outdated furniture, old and gross bathroom, lumpy mattress. Other hotel impression: dark corridors, slow elevator. Club lounge access was nice, but beer/wine is not included for SPG platinum member (it is usually complimentary at most SPG hotels. Parking - $19 self parking in lot across the street - seems a bit high considering the room rates. Luckily we found street parking (7pm-9am is free). The day after booking with "Cash & points" the regular rate dropped significantly (by $30). This devalues the points quite a bit, and for the quality of the room, definitely not worth using my points at this location. I wish the best rate guarantee applied to cash and points as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by EllenV Love to stay at Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Love the little town of Portsmouth New Hampshire! Especially love to stay at the Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside when visiting Portsmouth. The staff is awesome, the rooms are clean, roomy, and comfy! I came to know the salad menu very well in the on-site restaurant and had a great cheeseburger, cooked exactly the way I like it! Looking forward to my next visit and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Portsmouth! May 6, 2016

Rated 4 out of 5 by KingMatty Great food. Great catering I've been to functions at several different hotels and the event I attended here provided the best food thus far. The flavor was there, even when 100s of meals were served at once. I highly recommend this hotel for events, simply for the quality of the food. May 2, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by hucka003 Suites In town for a couple of days on business. As a SPG member I was upgraded to a massive 2 level 2 bedroom 2 bath suite complete with full kitchen and fireplace. The room had great character; however the kitchen and baths are right out of the 80's and could use an upgrade. The hotel it self is very nice and full of character mixed with some modern style. Staying in a suite gets you free happy hour, and breakfast, though the lounge is hard to spot and I had to ask twice for directions. The manager is fantastic, probably the best at all SPG's I've stayed at. Thank you! February 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tina68 One word - AWESOME! We held our quinquennial Girls' Weekend Away - "The Ageless Tour" at the Harborside Sheraton. And once again they went above and beyond. From the minute we checked-in, to our scheduled events on Saturday, our Italian Dinner Saturday night and our Breakfast Buffet on Sunday morning, the employees made us feel welcomed and comfortable. As always their customer service was impeccable, the food delicious and their hospitality amazing. Whatever you are planning to do in Portsmouth, the Harborside Sheraton is the place to stay. Venture out to explore Portsmouth or stay put and enjoy all the amenities, the Portsmouth Sheraton will ALWAYS be my first and ONLY CHOICE!!! February 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Woodstravelers In The Heart Of Downtown Thank you for a relaxing weekend stay in beautiful downtown Portsmouth.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Barben GREAT HOLIDAY TIME I came in on December 23, 2015 and stayed an extra night and left on Tuesday, December 29, 2015. I absolutely love staying at the Sheraton Portsmouth Hotel. I always write "rave" reviews for all of the staff at this Hotel. They are all SUPERB! I have never had a bad stay. Tarissa and Lucia were my maids and they were great. Frank was my Valet because the other Valet's were busy and he is just wonderful, so polite and cheery, all the time. Alex, at the front Reception Desk is EXCELLENT! Even when I call on the phone, he recognizes my voice and is so attentive in getting the right accommodation for me. Alex has everything in order when I arrive and he is very polite. Both Hannah and Mike at the Reception Desk were also excellent during my stay. The Ladies over the Holiday up on the Club Floor serving breakfast or late afternoon foods are always fantastic, friendly and accommodating. I cannot say enough about this Hotel. In fact, I will be coming back again on January 8, 2016 and looking forward to it. Keep up the Exceptional work! January 4, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by Michael0607 Very Disappointed This is the first hotel where I stayed in a luxury room with wallpaper coming off the wall, a bed with a spring which sounded like a shotgun, and couldn't pay cash for it at checkout. It was very disheartening to walk into a room and see wallpaper coming off the wall and in a "club" room at that. The next startling discovery occurred at bed time when sitting on the bed, a loud bang came from a spring in it and it happened every time I got out of it. It was advertised that it would be "ultra-comfy" and it wasn't even close to that. In fact it was the worst nights sleep outside of home at any chain hotel I'd ever experienced. The only real positive was the "club" lounge with it's food & beverage perks, which was done well. Billing was a disappointment also since I reserved with a credit card and wanted to pay in cash. Uncle Sam's hardbacks were refused due to "the room deal was based on credit card rate only and cash transaction would cost more." Really? The hotel chain makes more on cash without paying the credit card fee, which run 2-4% or more. For what was advertised as a top end "club" experience was close to a total bust. Why become a "club" member when the top end rooms aren't any better than the others? More money for a bad experience. January 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lynniestamps69 Our favorite Portsmouth hotel Thanks to the staff who surprised us with a chilled bottle of champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries as we celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Barben SUPERB HOTEL I have been coming to the Portsmouth, NH hotel for 3 years now and this is my third time this year (2015) staying at the Portsmouth, NH Hotel and I just love it. The staff is so friendly and cannot do enough for you. The staff just bends over backwards to help you and makes sure that your stay is perfect. I have never been disappointed with this hotel nor its well trained staff from front desk, valet or housekeeping. November 30, 2015

Rated 1 out of 5 by Letdownbysheraton Too little too late requested a 9am check-in due to my brothers 11am wedding at the hotel. I knew that would be hard to meet on a holiday weekend. Arrived at 9 and the Front desk said they would call when a room was ready, they never did. went to the desk at 2 and they offered me a free drink at that bar for waiting so long, told the bar tender I have another one for you.. after the wedding reception and being told from several guests that they were given rooms hours ago I again went to the desk. Front desk found a room and was given rm cl550, went to the room and found luggage and the bed not made. maid said 448 was ready. returned to the desk to complain and they gave me CL547. opened the door and that was not ready. returned again to complain again and the girl behind the counter said it was 548 and I got read it wrong. Asked why it said 547 and why the key opened the door, she changed the number on the key card holder and swiped the key. handed it to me and said its 548. I was ready to go off but there was a long line of customers and did not want to ruin their check in Rest of the night was fine. 548 is a handicap room but at that point I was pissed and only got a sorry from the desk. Next morning the wife and I took a shower, opened the curtain to find the entire floor of the bathroom covered in water. used all the towels to wipe the floor so i did not fall in the bathroom. dried off with hand towels. Told Nathan or Nathaniel at the front desk monday morning and he was awesome. Apologized for the night staff and cleared the charge for my room. What should have been a great weekend was a spoiled by the room fiasco. Bar tender working the night of Sep 6 was fun and the tall young blonde working the valet around 5 was sweet and charming. Front desk the morning of the 6th and working second shift could use some customer service training. Had the day shift or evening shift offered to compensate me in some way, reduced charge, free future stay or comp my room that would have been the end of it. should not have fallen on the morning guy to do the right thing. The hotel is beautiful the Town is fun and we thought about coming back. Will probably go to the Hilton if we do September 8, 2015

what is the difference between a front tyre and a back tire and would it matter if they was both front tyres or both back tyres on a BMX bike?

Look at the sidewall of the tire if it is marked front or rear the tire is designed with a specific position in mind. It may also include rotational direction arrows. Without any marking I assume it is a multidirectional and multiposition tire.
Most of BMXers I know put wide tire in front and narrower one for the rear (2.35 vs 2.10, sometimes rear have slicker protector). However some use the same for front and rear, I remember Cory Martinez has same. I myself have Animal Tom White 2.0 in rear and Animal GLH 2.35 in front.

Further insight on carapid—holothuroid relationships

Carapidae (or pearlfish) are eel-like fishes that live inside different invertebrates, such as holothurians, sea stars, or bivalves. Those of the genus Carapus are commensal and use their host as a shelter, while Encheliophis species are parasitic and eat the host's gonads. In areas where they live in sympatry, C. boraborensis, C. homei, C. mourlani and E. gracilis are able to inhabit the same host species. Infestation is considered as monospecific when several conspecifics are observed in the same host. However, many aspects of this particular relation remain obscure, e.g. communication between carapids and the defence systems of the different protagonists (carapids and hosts). Experiments have been conducted in the field and laboratory to investigate several aspects of the carapids' relationships with their hosts. Sampling carried out in the Bay of Opunohu (Moorea, French Polynesia) determined the sex ratio of C. boraborensis (3:1) and C. homei (1:1) and their distribution rate within different Echinodermata. Our study showed that neither species was capable of determining whether a heterospecific already occupied a sea cucumber or not. They were, however, able to locate the sea cucumber's cloaca, due to the excurrent resulting from respiration. The sea cucumber's defence system (Cuverian tubules) minimises predator attacks, but is not effective against carapid intrusion. The Carapidae defence system is twofold. Due to a passive system related to the sea cucumber's low cloacal position, the Cuverian tubules are not expelled when fish enter the cloaca. Moreover, carapids resist sea cucumber toxins better than other reef fish. Their increased resistance might be related to their gills rather than to their mucus coating; however, the latter may assist the fish in resisting the sticky substances emitted by the Cuverian tubules.

The events of the last two weeks have probably left you worried and concerned about the future of our wonderful republic.
We have gone beyond left vs. right politics. Black vs. white racial divisions. We have arrived at a point where communities are at odds with the very department that serves and protects them. These various divisions within the United States generally run deep and are heavily exposed to the rest of the world by the media.
I believe there are communities that have community/police issues that must be addressed by the leadership of that community. However, here in Middletown we are fortunate that our police department has a strong and positive relationship within every facet of the community. We are on the cusp of celebrating that very special relationship.
National Night Out has been held annually since 1984, and this year it will be held beginning at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 2 in Hoffer Park. National Night Out is a great event that promotes and celebrates that partnership between law enforcement and the community.
Our leaders understand that value. Vice President Joe Biden, speaking on National Night Out, recently said that this is a "chance to bring neighborhoods together with the men and women who protect them." That solemn partnership works to create a friendly, safe and better place for all Middletown citizens.
There will fun, free food, and fellowship. Come out and thank our officers for a job well done and celebrate the bond between the Middletown Police Department and the community they proudly serve and protect.

Synonyms for the word "blight" are scourge, bane, plague, menace, woeful, trouble and pest.
Those words sum up the sentiments that have been recently shared with me from my constituents regarding a blighted property.
Blight is a cancer to Middletown, as it is to most urban communities across the commonwealth. It starts with one neighbor who does not take care of their property and then spreads to a neighborhood, and can end with the destruction of an entire community. Blight impedes Middletown's imagine as a community that is trying to move forward economically. Instead, it conveys a message of a community that is old and worn out.
Fortunately, the General Assembly has addressed this issue through a slew of state laws. For example, municipal and county governments are enabled to create land banks to remove problem properties from the endless cycle of vacancy and abandonment. Dauphin County created a Land Bank Authority in 2013, and more counties are moving in that direction.
The passage of the Neighborhood Blight Reclamation and Revitalization Act, commonly known as Act 90, gives cities towns, and municipalities the express power to use very forceful actions to enforce their property maintenance codes.
Here in Middletown, we have to develop a five-point plan to address blight or else we jeopardize our community's future.
First, my colleagues and I need to develop and approve a comprehensive blight plan. Secondly, that plan must incorporate allocating appropriate staffing resources for aggressive code enforcement. Third, code enforcement personnel must assess the nature and extent of the blight within the borough. It is important to collect data on the number of homes that are abandoned, have serious violations such as structural integrity issues, and/or properties with relatively minor offenses such as high weeds and grass. Fourth, code enforcement officers need to develop a plan to address each violation, up to and including enforcement measures. Fifth, when necessary, engage the Dauphin County Land Bank Authority for the acquisition and subsequent disposing of properties that are unoccupied and abandoned.
Frequently, communities across the commonwealth are stymied when they attempt to address blight within their borders. I believe that is because they do not have a comprehensive plan or approach that focuses on staff resource allocation and action.
The people of my ward, in fact the borough as a whole, want something more than lip service that equals to the proverbial "I hear your pain." They want action.
I urge residents to engage your respective council member on how you believe the borough should combat blight. Your voice and action will determine what kind of community you will leave behind to future Middletown citizens. Do you want to see your children live in a safe community, with vibrant businesses and healthy housing stock? Or a dusty community that motorists drive to in order to get to the other side of Route 230?
I chose the former over the latter. What say you?
