Enabling Population and Quantitative Genomics
Dissection of quantitative traits to the nucleotide level requires phenotypic and genotypic analysis of traits on a genome scale. Here we discuss the set of community-wide genetic and molecular resources, including panels of specific types of inbred lines and high density resequencing and SNP detection, that will facilitate such studies.(Received July 10 1988)

Trump started quickly and sealed the first frame in less than 10 minutes, assembling a break of 62 after Williams took an early 25 point lead.
The Bristol-born star quickly took the second frame, building a hefty score of 82 to double his advantage before Williams won in the third, notching a clinical break of 79.
Undeterred, Trump displayed his unerring accuracy and precision at the table by racing to another extensive break, this time claiming a score of 76 to regain a two frame cushion and a 3-1 lead heading into the first interval.
Despite re-gathering his composure, Williams was unable to prevent his opponent from taking the next two frames as Trump hit a plethora of well-placed shots to go 5-1 ahead.
Williams responded with grit and determination, claiming three consecutive frames to conjure an interesting finale at 5-4.
However, the comeback was ultimately short-lived, as Trump sealed the 10th frame to conclude an unexpectedly tense 6-4 victory. He will meet either Shaun Murphy or John Higgins in Sunday's final.

Stiletto shoes come at a high price
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- November 24, 2012
THEY'RE the ultimate party shoe for thousands of fashionistas but those towering high heels could come at a dangerous price.
Orthopedic surgeons have reported a spike in young women seeking treatment due to strutting around in stilettos - putting massive pressure on the ball of the foot.
Sydney surgeon Dr Haydar Ozcan said 60 to 70 per cent of his patients were women and up to 40 per cent of them were aged 18 to 30. Hammertoes and bunions were among the most common complaints.
"They are unsightly (and) they often cause pain," Dr Ozcan said.
A survey by blister-patch brand Compeed found 58 per cent of women admitted to taking their shoes off during a night out because of the pain.
But don't ditch heels altogether. Dr Ozcan said a heel height of 5cm to 7cm might be better than flats.
"I've found that people wearing flats tend to get more problems on front of the foot," he said.
Amy Farrugia, 20, from Randwick, wears heels everywhere - even to the beach.
"I always have athletic tape with me on a night out," she said.
"I never take them off, I soldier on. Taking off your shoes just looks trashy."

This is what I think may happen, not what teams SHOULD do (many teams make dumb football decisions)
1) Sam Bradford
2) Russell Okung
3) Gerald McCoy
4) Jimmy Clausen
5) Bryan Bulaga
6) CJ Spiller
7) Eric Berry
8) Bruce Campbell
9) Dan Williams
10) Ndamukong Suh
11) Joe Haden
12) Jason Pierre-Paul
13) Trent Williams
14) Dez Bryant
15) Will Weatherspoon
16) Derrick Morgan
17) Kyle Wilson
18) Rolando McClain
19) Brandon Graham
20) Earl Thomas
21) Carlos Dunlap
22) Jermaine Gresham
23) Charles Brown
24) Mike Iupati
25) Jared Odrick
26) Sergio Kindle
27) Taylor Mays
28) Ryan Mathews
29) Demaryius Thomas
30) Brian Price
31) Maurkice Pouncey
32) Everson Griffen
I know what your thinking. "GoldenGate, I want what your on because you must be smoking crack to have Naduknog Suh fall to 10!", but no I didn't smoke crack, I get high off life!
But honestly, the guy is a one year wonder and is only good in a 4-3 scheme. With WSH, BUF and many other team starting to get into a 3-4 base, Ndamukong's stock has dropped alot. As well, Gerlad McCoy fits perfectly in the tampa 2 as a one gap penetrator. After the top 3, WSH is switching to a 3-4 and has a regiem change, meaning new QB. KC is switching to a 3-4 and already has alot of money invested on the DL. Next, SEA could take Suh, but elects for the electric CJ Spiller to give their 26th ranked rush Offense and 21st ranked Kick return gme some help. Also, alot of reports say that Seattle is VERY high on Spiller (and probably something else) nd would think of taking him at 6. I think that is WAY too high, but I am not the GM. After SEA, CLV is a 3-4, OAK is a possibility, but OT is just too big a need (plus they will take Geno Atkins in round two- he's fast!) and BUF is switching to a 3-4, hence Big Dan Williams.
Other than that, the only other odity you might see is Haden to the Broncos and Weatherspoon before McClain. Haden goes to DEN because Champ and Andre Goodman will be 32 next season. They got Alphonso Smith last year, but they need another CB beside him. With Haden's 4.43 on a wet field at his pro day, Denver will be happy to pick up the #1 corner in the draft. Next, McClain is too slow to play in a 4-3 and may only be a 2 down backer. That being said, he is still very talented and the Steelers are one of the best teams are stocking young talent for the future. James Farrior will be 35 and the Steeler wil need someone in the middle for the future. Also, I love Weatherspoon and think he can play all over the field in almost any scheme, and has a certain swagger to him that you can see in his game. Great pickup for the NYG (although I hate them).
Anyway, rest of the 9ers draft.
1) Trent Williams, OT
1) Kyle Wilson, CB
2) Reshad Jones, SS
3) Brandon Spikes, ILB
4) John Jerry, OG
5) Blair White, WR
6) Brandon Carter, OG
7) Brandon Sharpe, OLB
Don't know if Brandon Sharpe will be there in round 3, but he is a pass rush specialist (too light and weak to be a factor in the run game). I know that its alot of Brandons, but they all fill need. Spikes will fall to round 3 due to a horrendous 40 time. But I'll let his game speak for himself, and with him under Uncle Takeo, he should be fine. Next we add lots of depth on the O-line with Trent, Jerry and B. Carter. Lastly, Blair White is a very reliable slot reciever and can be a good player on special teams as well. This gives us our KR/PR (Kyle Wilson, Reshad Jones and Blair can help), fixes the O-line, and pathes up the secondary (Wilson and Jones), as well as adding a Slot reciver (White). Anyway, this would be the best draft we could get in my honest opinion.

Anthony Joshua Discusses Pro Run, Olympic Return, More
By Phil D. Jay
London 2012 Olympic super-heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has told WBN that he is committed to seeing out the remainder of his GB boxing contract, but remains coy on his longer-term future as talk of a pro run intensifies.
The Watford fighter became hot property to the world's biggest promotional companies when he bulldozed his way to gold at the recent games and at 22, has the potential to be the next heavyweight superstar in the sport.
Joshua is biding his time before making a formal decision on his career and now that he has tasted success at the highest level, is looking to continue his winning form after his breakout performance last month.
"You know what, I feel good, but hungry for more," Joshua told World Boxing News.
"Winning the medal was amazing but I'm ready to get back in the gym and it's just made me even hungrier for success. I hate losing and I was not prepared to lose at the games and I'm not prepared to lose in the future. What I achieved was great for the country and for my family. Being part of Team GB and achieving what we did was a special experience that I will never forget."
Media speculation has hit fever pitch since Joshua's exploits, but the Londoner is unfazed as pressure mounts on him to make his move into the paid ranks and breathe some life into a dormant division.
"All the talk is fine, it doesn't bother me," he said. "I guess it just comes with the territory you know. I still have so much to learn. Time is what I need right now and I intend to give myself enough to learn and improve."
Asked whether he would be looking to learn from obvious mistakes made by Britian's last 91kg+ champion Audley Harrison, Joshua replied: "Not really no. Audley did what was right for him and I will do what I think is best for me and my career. There is no need to rush anything I am still young and have only had 43 amateur fights.
"I have definitely thought about (defending my title in 2016 at the Rio games). The possibility of being a double Olympic champion is pretty amazing. I would still only be 26 by that time, but then again, four years is a long time.
"I am just relaxing at the moment and not letting it take up too much of my thinking time.
"There have been no offers to turn professional and I have people around me who help me deal with that sort of thing anyway.
"A decision has been made and I will definitely be staying amateur until the end of my GB contract and after that, I will sit down with my family, coaches and team to discuss the possibility of extending that contract."

Saturday Evening Post re-emerges as it once was
Looking for an old-fashioned, general-interest magazine to curl up with on a hot summer night? The Saturday Evening Post attempts to turn back time for its readers:
By Charles Wilson / The Associated Press
The Saturday Evening Post, a centuries-old publication that helped make illustrator Norman Rockwell a household name and showcased some of America's greatest writers, is returning to its roots to show readers the value of a quiet read in an increasingly frenetic digital age.
A redesign launching with its July/August issue combines the Post's hallmarks — art and fiction — with folksy commentary and health articles. The revamped Post promises a more relaxing option for people who are used to doing much of their reading online, or are simply tired of special-interest magazines crammed into tight niches.
"There is a void of magazines now that do emphasize art and creative writing and fiction," Publisher Joan SerVaas said.
But industry experts say the Post — which traces its origins to Benjamin Franklin, though it had a hiatus from 1969 to 1971 — risks alienating its core readers while trying to buck a decades-long shift away from general-interest magazines.
"The Saturday Evening Post is no longer my father's magazine; it's my grandfather's magazine," said Samir A. Husni, who publishes an annual guide to consumer magazines as director of the Magazine Innovation Center at the University of Mississippi.
Although the Post is making concessions to the digital age, through weekly updates to its Web site and a profile on the social-networking site Facebook, Husni said those efforts could shatter the habits of longtime readers without necessarily drawing new ones. And Husni warned that the changes to the print edition might come across to longtime readers as a lesser version of what the Post once was.
The magazine, whose circulation peaked at 6 million in 1960, now publishes six times a year and has 350,000 readers, most of whom are women over 45. That's low compared with the general interest, health and lifestyle magazines with which it competes, such as Prevention, with circulation of 3.3 million, and Guideposts, at 2 million.
Many publications have tried new approaches amid advertising and circulation challenges in a digital age. The large-format Rolling Stone shrank to standard magazine size last year, in part to help boost single-copy sales because it now fits better on magazine racks. TV Guide, meanwhile, grew into a full-size magazine in 2005.
Maureen Mercho, chief operating officer for the Post, said ad sales had dropped because of the recession, prompting the magazine to look for ways to broaden its base. "That probably pushed us" to do the redesign, she said.
Mercho said some people are surprised the Post still exists. She suspects that's because the magazine is primarily available only to subscribers; fewer than 5,000 copies an issue are sold on newsstands. But she believes the relaunch will increase awareness of the magazine.
"The thing the Post has done well over the years is interpret America for America," Mercho said, echoing George Horace Lorimer, who edited the magazine for more than 30 years in the early 1900s.
To complement the magazine, the Post has relaunched its Web site, offering new posts each Saturday evening — naturally — with retrospective, art, blogs, health coverage and other content. It also has begun a yearslong effort to digitize its historical content and offer it online.
"I think the key is keeping your hand on the pulse of what Americans are interested in," SerVaas said. "We're just trying to make sure we stay on that pulse."
While Husni is skeptical about the future of the magazine, media strategist Lou Ann Sabatier of Falls Church, Va., notes that the Post has a "brand aura" that has endured despite changes in owners and formats. "I think there's a hunger for this," she said. "In publishing, it's timing. I think the timing is very good for them."

SCALE 6.2 Release
RSICC is pleased to announce the release of SCALE 6.2 from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The SCALE code system, which is a widely used modeling and simulation suite for nuclear safety analysis and design that is developed, maintained, tested, and managed by the Reactor and Nuclear Systems Division (RNSD) of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). SCALE provides a comprehensive, verified and validated, user-friendly tool set for criticality safety, reactor physics, radiation shielding, radioactive source term characterization, and sensitivity and uncertainty analysis. Since 1980, regulators, licensees, and research institutions around the world have used SCALE for safety analysis and design. SCALE provides an integrated framework with dozens of computational modules, including three deterministic and three Monte Carlo radiation transport solvers selected based on the user's desired solution strategy.
In addition, SCALE 6.2 also includes a new production release of AMPX-6. AMPX is used to process Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF) nuclear data evaluations, as well as other data sources that use the ENDF format, to provide nuclear data libraries for use in modern transport code packages. AMPX is primarily used to provide nuclear data libraries for the SCALE code package, but AMPX can be used to produce data libraries that can be used by other transport codes. AMPX provides continuous energy (CE) and multi-group (MG) neutron and gamma cross-section data. Also, AMPX provides cross-section uncertainty or covariance data for use with sensitivity/uncertainty analysis tools. Furthermore, AMPX can be used to process ENDF/B evaluations to produce depletion and decay libraries needed by depletion codes such as ORIGEN.
SCALE 6.2 provides many new capabilities and significant improvements of existing features. Please see the SCALE 6.2
for more information.

Safety Analysis Report for Packaging (SARP)
Shielding/Criticality Safety Generalist and Analyst Courses
Developed and Conducted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Radioactive Material Package Shielding Evaluation and Nuclear Criticality Safety Evaluation Training:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Packaging Certification Program (PCP), Office of Packaging and Transportation, is offering Safety Analysis Report for Packaging (SARP) shielding and nuclear criticality safety (NCS) courses for SARP generalists and analysts.
June 6-10, 2016
The SARP Generalist Course is designed for project managers, supervisors, NCS/shielding subject matter experts (SME), or SMEs in non-NCS/shielding technical areas (e.g., structural, thermal, package design, etc.) who need to better understand how the NCS/shielding analyses fit in the broader SARP documentation. Specifically, the Generalist Course provides an overview of the regulations and guidelines for the criticality and shielding analysis for a SARP, and the course shows how the NCS/shielding chapters integrate with the other parts of the SARP. Students in the Generalist Course will review an actual SARP document after the course material is presented to emphasize the key elements of the shielding and criticality analyses.
Sept. 12-16, 2016
The Analysts Course will provide detailed training on the radioactive material package shielding analyses and NCS evaluation fundamentals needed by analysts/practitioners (i.e., safety analysts and/or technical reviewers) to prepare and/or review technical analyses for the SARP documentation. The Analyst Course also provides an overview of regulations and guidelines in addition to detailed in-class exercises associated with the package shielding and NCS analyses. With regard to the in-class exercises, analysis teams will be faced with "staged" SARP examples in which a number of important decision processes in the generation of a SARP will be demonstrated and discussed.
Both the SARP Generalist and SARP Analyst Courses will be offered in Fiscal Year 2016.
The SARP Generalist Course will be held at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, TN. The SARP Generalist Course is scheduled for June 6-10, 2016.
The SARP Analyst Course is scheduled for Sept. 12-16, 2016 also at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, TN.
Further information will be posted as soon as it is available.

Sunday, September 14, 2008. (AP) -- Two early mistakes by Matt Ryan was all it took to dig a hole the Atlanta Falcons couldn't escape against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The rookie was intercepted twice in the first half Sunday and Tampa Bay's Brian Griese turned the miscues into a touchdown and field goal that helped the Buccaneers beat their NFC South rivals 24-9.
A week after beating Detroit in his pro debut, Ryan threw incompletions on his first nine passes before settling down to keep Atlanta (1-1) in the game with three field goal drives that trimmed a 17-point deficit to eight with five minutes to go.

My mate has a job in South Hedland as a Deputy Manager, providing accommodation and meals for 6 months.
However he don't have the $5,000 fund and is worried he will be rejected once he arrives, even though he has a WHV and job that will provide accommodation and food.
Could he just show proof of email that he has a job?
Travelling around NZ, would like to fly over to Australia and spend a week or two there to check out the great barrier reef and learn to surf. Does anyone know if theres a place where both can be done? Cairns would be ideal for the GBR but quick research suggests it's a no-go for surfing. Cheers
Is it possible to buy and register a car while in Australia on tourist visa (so without residence permit and an address in Australia other than a hotel)?
Many thanks
So, Jetstar gave me a couple of $25 hotel vouchers for booking plane flights with them. Must be used within 14 days. So I booked a place to stay in May next year, as this is the next time I am going away.
I wonder who gets to keep my money between now and May.
Is it the hotel, or the Jetstar Hotel booking site?
Hi everyone,
I'm Chris, 26 and live in Brighton, England and I am travelling to Australia in January 2017 for 5-6 months, never been before so I am really excited to get over there. If any of you are traveling there the same time as myself feel free to drop me a message :)
I've been searching for days around google (and the forums) and couldn't get any useful information for my situation. I'm a Malaysian who am currently studying in Osaka - Japan right now and am very interested to apply for the work and holiday visa to go to Australia. The problems is, the number of Malaysians who can be granted the W&HV is limited to only 100 people a year.
So I was wondering, since I am a student/sort of resident in Japan as I've stayed here for 3 years (total 4 years)…
I'm Sophie, 25 & about to head out to Australia on a WHV. Arrive in Melbourne November 7th and as it's getting closer I am getting completely terrified and excited in equal measures! Never travelled alone before; I'm slightly overwhelmed at the thought of it but I know that so many people go out solo and I shouldn't worry about meeting people (right!!?)
Just have no idea about where to stay/how long for at first. My plan is to be in Melbourne for a few months at least, in order to get…
My girlfriend and i are currently planning our trip to Oz. We land in Melbourne on the 8th December we will be making our way up north to Sydney to meet our friends for New Years. ANY TIPS? We want to rent a camper for 1 month/4 people to travel the coast from Cairns back down to Sydney ready for their flight back home. Could anyone point me in the right direction for camper vans that sleep 4 people.
Also is it just as wise to travel from Sydney to Cairns then fly back down?
If anyone…
Julie_I per your request, I'm starting a new thread. Please continue with the creative ideas, you guys are the best!
For those who would like to review previous responses by Opal4u, Poppageorge and Julie_I, look here:
Here is my original post:
Wow, I've just read your post for the third time, travoyageur, and made many notes for myself. Very impressed with the specifics you provided. So now...I too, would like to ask you (and anyone else who would care to contribute) to help me plan a trip to…
HI all
I'm a student currently living in Sydney and I'm planning a trip to Byron Bay next month (about 20 Sep) and probably stay there for 3 nights
I have 4 options but I'm not sure which is the best
*Going by Greyhound from Sydney Central to Byron Bay
*Going by plane from Sydney to Ballina airport then take a bus
*Going by train from Sydney Central to Casino Station (North Coast NSW Line)
*Hitch-hike (I found a website called http://www.coseats.com/ which I think could be a good option)

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 302 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by DES15 Convenient location - needs improvement I've stayed at this hotel before and appreciate the location with easy access to Oakland and the Bay Bridge by car as well as walking distance to restaurants, stores and movie theaters. I knew it was in the process of being refurbished so was hoping that would be reflected in my recent stay. Unfortunately I won't be staying here again because it is still in serious need of some upgrades. I realize this property is more about efficiency and not luxury, but I still expect basic needs to be met. The room itself is basic, but clean and comfortable. It was unusually warm during my stay so getting the old AC system to cool the room without making it feel like a meat locker was a bit challenging. Unfortunately it is very loud and though noise does not particularly bother me, it was pretty jarring every time it started blasting air. Biggest problem for me was the spotty wifi. I stayed up about 3 hours later than I would have liked because the connection kept dropping. Working in media I need to stream content which was continuously interrupted. Some things I could do via 3G, but even the cell service was unreliable. This made for a frustrating stay and though I have a particular need to stream content, I would imagine a good percentage of the guests are traveling on business and need a reliable signal. Also, there are only about 20 television channels (3 HBO's and 3 ESPNs so not much variety past that) and they are ANALOG. Worse than that, the picture isn't clear on several of them and you get static. This is 2015 - I didn't know static was still a 'thing' since even old televisions can get a clear picture with a cheap digital antenna. I go to the Bay for meetings about 5 times a year and had hoped this would be a reliable option for me. Would rather spend twice as much at the Downtown SF Le Meridien, which is a very nice hotel, but will probably try the neighboring hotels in Emeryville. October 10, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by BruceRo Does not meet Starwood's normally high standards Stayed at this hotel for an annual conference in San Francisco. It was on a recommended list from my employer (who hosts the conference). It was not convenient to get to/from downtown due to heavy bridge traffic. The room was dirty, faucet leaked, freeway traffic noise was constant, spider webs in the corners, stains on the carpet, ceiling, and furniture, etc. There was no outlet near the desk - this was surprising to me since I've always thought of Four Points as being a business-friendly brand. Maybe it was just the room I stayed in but when I asked for a different room the front desk politely told me that the hotel was fully booked due to the conference and there was nothing they could do. On the plus side, the staff was very friendly, food was good in the restaurant/cafe, the in-room coffee was quite good, and although the fitness room was fairly small there was always space available to get a workout in when I had time. September 19, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by GPOWER terrible management We had many things go wrong during our visit. The room key system stopped working. Front desk was trying to be helpful, but they were understaffed. The room next to our (frinends staying is it, room 522) had water stains on the ceiling. It was not clean. We arrived backtot he hotel. The front desk team (now about 8-10 people) were in the middle of an altercation with a guest. The guest (on a family weeding trip with him mom) was locked out of the room. He was not a registered guest, so the front desk would not help him back into his room. It was clear that the front desk team was not equipped to capable to handle the situation. I waited about 20 mintued for help, while all 10 of the employees stood ont he back of the counter. All they could do is threatent o call the police for resolve the guest situation. I contaced the manager, There was very little response to my concerns. September 3, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Luke209 A feeling of not being recognized or welcomed. This SPG member hotel consistently fails to acknowledge my membership and read my stated preferences and request information from the SPG website reservation system. The front desk staff and manager assign rooms and check in/out times oblivious of the information I have taken the time to write when make my reservations on line. Other SPG member hotels usually have taken the time to read what I have provided and assigned my room and check out time accordingly. Additionally they fail to voluntarily offer any of the perks of being a member, such as room up-grades or later check-out times. It seems they are begrudgingly participating in the SPG member program. The net result is a feeling of not being recognized or welcomed. August 27, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Rebecca16 Poorly secured parking Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Lobby and adjacent bar is attractive. Room was fine, but smaller than average and we were not offered our typical room upgrade. However, the reason we will not stay here again is solely due to the parking lot. There are areas that are poorly lit, the lot is unsecured, and we were ultimately alerted by others that auto break-ins are common. We were very surprised by this, and concerned we would have to file an auto ins claim upon check out- thankfully not the case, but will not take that gamble again. August 27, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by TeslaGirl Comfortable stay, needs some help The room was very clean and comfortable. A/C does not so much maintain room temp, more blows freezing for a while then shuts off. No real concierge staff to speak of, but they managed to find someone to help with luggage. The one thing I do expect to acquire from room service is coffee. They stop serving it after breakfast (11am). If you like coffee with lunch, or after dinner, or are day-sleeping/having a lie in, expect to go elsewhere for a cup. I've never experienced that at a large hotel before. Good location for visiting the East Bay as well as getting over to the city. July 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nova12345 Loved it! While we didn't expect the room to be huge, our 2 double beds took up most of the space and the door to the wardrobe did not open all the way. Also the bathroom was so small that the door scraped against the toilet when you opened and closed it. Still 5 star service and comfort with many little touches that made those things more humorous than annoying. Pool was perfect temp and was able to get in some laps without a bunch of people or kids around. Breakfast was decent and served by a waiter with cloth napkins and everything. Also being so close to the bridge was excellent for travelling in and out of the city all weekend. We had a great time! June 22, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Unsatisfied2015 I would never stay at a Four Point Sheraton Again The service at this hotel was the worst I've ever experienced. First, they over booked our two rooms after my family drove 7 hours to get here. They promised two rooms would be ready the next night. When we came back they only had one of the rooms available and the attitudes during check in were horrendous. The women at the reception desk acted like everything was a burden for them. They were rude and entirely disrespectful. One even commented "I was supposed to be off today." We had an issue with the cable in our room and called the front desk to ask about it. They first said it wasn't possible to fix but then called back and said it was repaired. Then asked "happy now?!" as though such basic hotel services were too much to ask for. It's safe to say we will never stay at this hotel again. If we could give 0 stars we would. May 27, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by khs84 You can do better. Chose this hotel based on proximity to client, but I would've been better off commuting in from SF at another SPG property. As a single woman, I felt uncomfortable because of the area and clientele. Staff and lobby were nice-- they only redeeming factors about this property. Do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere. April 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by reno299 Very clean, comfortable and quiet This was a quick trip so only stayed one night but check in was fast, room was very very nice. I wish I had more time just to spend in the room and other hotel features. The staff are to be commended for their friendly demeanor and smiles. February 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cindy40 Staff is the Best! I love this hotel. the renovation is so nice and best of all is the staff. they say hello to every person that enters by name. they really are amazing and genuinely care and make the guests feel welcomed. February 9, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by sunshiner Great Location, Staff, and Value; Basic but Good Amenities; Tight Rooms At the Four Points SF, you get what about you are expecting here and quite a bit more. As might be anticipated, this is a fairly no-frills business hotel. The location is fantastic, with ready access up and down the East Bay and across the Bay Bridge to SF -- there is also ample high-end shopping in a lovely outdoor walking mall, restaurants, and a plaza of "big box" stores all within walking distance. Amenity-wise, this hotel has recently massively improved and is quite pleasant. The pool area has been spruced up, and the new lobby, bar, and cafe are sprightly if small, with good bartending and food preparation. There was often a friendly and lively crowd in the lobby, which is always nice when visiting. Room service was quick and reliable, and although the menu is somewhat limited, the offerings are tasty. I'd particularly laud their beer and wine offerings, which are well-selected and reasonably priced. Although hours are somewhat limited (bar 5-11 PM, room service till 10 PM), it seems a fair offering for a Four Points. The most unfortunate aspect of the hotel are the rooms. They've been recently redone, so the furnishings are nice enough, but ultimately they're just small for a Four Points, and the bathrooms are uncomfortably so. Half of the rooms have balconies, however, which you should definitely request -- they add a lot of space feel to the room, and have nice views over the Bay. For SPG members, the upgraded room is somewhat larger, which is nice enough, through the lavatory size remains the same. On the other hand, the staff is just amazing here. Always friendly and accommodating, and you get the impression they do want your stay to be the best. I've stayed at many SPG properties, and the team here is amongst the best. Overall, this is fine deal for the price, with good if basic amenities, slightly smaller than average rooms, excellent location, and a great staff. If this is convenient to your destination and you're not looking for a luxury experience (and price), you won't do much better. December 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BlueBOB Good service The hotel is very accommodating and the staff definitely reacts to any issues while you're there. Normally I only have breakfast in the morning and it's fine, just limited in options in my opinion. I had ordered in some room service this week (chicken wings) and they weren't great. The only other suggestion I would make would be the fluorescent lighting in the bathroom. That is quite unpleasant as it flickers on for the first time when you first get up. I usually keep my eyes closed while they fire up. Beyond that, I enjoy staying at the hotel. It's convenient and comfortable and the staff is very nice and friendly. December 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DMB32 Comments from Repeat Guest Whenever we come to Emeryville on a train trip from Salt Lake City, we stay at your hotel. We really enjoy it with the exception of the quality of breakfast. My waffle did not taste like it was freshly made -microwaved? (I didn't eat all of it), my order of two eggs came five minutes after the waffle, and my son's breakfast sandwich was microwaved. While we will stay at your hotel again, I do not think I would try the breakfast again. December 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by HighRoomViewer Great place right by the bridge Sheraton found a great spot for this Four Points hotel. It is immediately off the highway so the location wins points for the convenience it offers. They've done a great job keeping the rooms and lobby updated so it is a great value for the price. The only downside I experienced was that the hallways felt like a significant step down from everything else. Fortunately, I barely spent any time in the hallway. The staff was also exceptional. I had an issue come up with my reservation and they resolved the matter pleasantly and immediately. November 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JM25 Fantastic Service I have stayed at this location several times now, and all I can say is that the staff makes the experience feel like this is a second home. Everyone is always so helpful and accommodating. During my last stay when I realized that I had lost my wallet on the airplane, the staff was able to check me in and help calm my nerves through a distressing situation. Being away from home is never easy, but this staff definitely lightens the load. November 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ARana Great staff, nice hotel I have stayed at this hotel quite a bit, and I would say that the staff at the hotel makes it worth staying. Everyone at the hotel staff has been extremely helpful, and they make your stay much more enjoyable. I really want to thank Salma and Cecile at the front desk, who have helped me at a number of times, and have accomodated me to almost anything (late reservations, late cancelations). Really, a best customer service award should be given to them. The hotel is really great due to its staff and I would reccomend everyone to stay there. The services, location is also ideal. November 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bruins2014 Great Hotel!!! Great experience checking in. I arrived to the Hotel in the early morning and was not expecting to check in. The women at the front desk told me should would check to see if any rooms were available. To my surprise there was a room ready. Awesome customer service and great Hotel. October 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by 4aRoadWarrior Great Staff, Location & Facilities My favorite place to stay in the Bay Area, particularly for Cal Football weekends. The staff is terrific! Always warm and welcoming. The newly renovated lobby area is fantastic; I'm looking forward to seeing the upgrades to the rooms over the next several months. October 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DavidChicago A hike but worth it I couldn't stay on the other side of the bay due to availability. I took the chance on the BART/Emeryville bus route. I found it was a good experience and glad I did it, even if it took 30-40 minutes to go to Beale street. October 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mothikuru Excellent Customer Service Salma and Cecile provide an excellent customer service. I have never had a better customer experience than this front staff desk, they are very courteous, friendly and helpful. They are one of the main reasons that I keep coming back to this SPG property when I come to San Francisco. Good job recruiting some wonderful people SPG, keep it up. October 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Psatty Nice with nearby amenities If the location works for you, the hotel is clean and nice enough. Remember the Bay Bridge is a traffic disaster, even on weekends (it's a $35 cab ride, one way, to the city). There is a bike path right next to the hotel and a Trader Joes across the street. Rooms were clean and comfy with large refrigerators and microwaves. Only problem was the wi-fi. Internet connectivity was terrible! Slow and spotty in the room. September 22, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by trilind This hotel needs help top to bottom. It starts with the management and it is clear this hotel does not have an on-site GM. Staff at the front desk do not have training on how to handle issues with customers. It happened to me and others I witnessed throughout my stay. September 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PTMN Excellent Staff I come to the Emeryville Four Points often and I have to say that the staff at this location are nothing short of outstanding. They greet me by name, are extremely friendly and they always go the extra mile to ensure a comfortable stay for my girlfriend and I. I am military, so I travel quite often and I have many hotels to compare. The Emeryville Four Points is the best hotel that I have ever stayed at. September 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by justanotherguy Great hotel staff and very accommodating! I came into town for a business meeting and just my luck Apple was debuting their new iPhone6 and Intel was hosting their own event. Needless to say, all the hotels were SOLD OUT in SF, Oakland, and any surrounding areas. As I arrived to bunk with a buddy, my luck has made a complete 180 when Celeste (I think that's her name) at the front desk told me a room was available from a last minute cancellation. She convinced me to sign up for SPG rewards. The very next morning... she remembered my name and made the experience that much more special. Everyone here was great, especially Celeste. I highly recommend this place if you are staying in the area. September 11, 2014

Meteor shower: The seven home runs by the O's and one by the Blue Jays in the series finale increased the total number of home runs hit at Oriole Park this year to 216, making this the second-most homer happy season in the history of Camden Yards. Davis' second home run of the night pushed this season past 2011, when 214 homers were hit by the O's and their opponents. Manny Machado (pictured) delivered the coup 'd grace with his second homer of the night. The record of 229 was set during the 1996 playoff season. Technically, it's not insurmountable, but it would take quite a weekend of fireworks by the Orioles and Red Sox to eclipse it in the final home series of the year.

But the 33-year-old keeps a low profile in Hollywood, refusing to appear on television talk shows or discuss his private life with the press.
Instead, Murphy sticks to talking about his work, including roles in hits like "28 Days Later" and "Cold Mountain."
If this Irishman can tackle challenging roles like a transgender Irish orphan in "Breakfast on Pluto," he most certainly can do justice to any character in O'Brien's "At Swim."
Gabriel Byrne – the professional Pat Packer
Not only is Gabriel Byrne a famous actor, but he's also a celebrated film director, producer and writer.
This Hollywood pro got his start in the theater in Ireland, but quickly became a recognizable face with appearances in films like "Excalibur" in 1981, and made his star turn in the critically acclaimed "Miller's Crossing" in 1990.
Byrne has also given memorable performances in hit films like "The Usual Suspects" and "Little Women."
The 59-year-old Dubliner is best known for his starring role as therapist Dr. Paul Weston in the HBO hit series "In Treatment."
Byrne has won a Golden Globe for the role, and is nominated for a 2009 Emmy. The New York Times has dubbed even dubbed the Irishman TV's "latest Dr. McDreamy."
But the Irish actor has always stayed close to his roots. He wrote the first drama in Irish, "Draíocht," for Irish TV in the 90s, is active in various Irish organizations and takes part in Irish film festivals.
Byrne rounds out the Pat Pack quite nicely with his prominence and long-standing successful career.
It's about time these four Irish acting giants all got together in a film.
Can't wait to the powerhouse Pat Packers bring a classic Irish novel to Hollywood!

Scientific test for both kinds of chisel holders. Media was seasoned firewood to split scotch pine block 14" length.Two of same Harbor Freight air hammers 47868 one with beehive spring, one with the 66621 chisel holder. Two drops of air tool oil in each. Same 6"chisel(s)and air hammer handles both wrapped with bicycle tire to minimize vibration on hands. Beehive spring was loose/twisted on the chisel.401 wandered across the grain, shakes a lot. Over excess vibration. 66621 chisel holder was precise, dug right into center grain, effortless and no after shake in hands of operator .401 6" split 14"wood in half the time under a minute without splinters. Could even put through a sander and get some nice lumber. No fatigue or slipping. Bought the first, then went back to buy two more for my other HFT air hammers. Only adds an inch to the tool but benefits outweigh that. No need for the bicycle tire wraps. Michaelangelo could have used this 66621 chisel holder to sculpt the marble David statue in half time with no repetitive stress afterward anyone need used bicycle tire wraps for grips?

The quick release functions well. You can change out chisels in mere seconds..... However it reduces the effectiveness of the hammer SIGNIFICANTLY, almost to the point of it being worthless. With the quick change holder on my hammers i could barely scratch the surface of materials. After I put the regular spring on the tool it practically quadrupled in power. Best I can tell is the the mechanism that holds the chisel in place is too far from the hammer and so the chisel doesn't get the full impact of the hammer. Long story short not worth it. Just spend the 30 seconds it takes to take the spring off and put it back on (seriously how often do you really change chisels?). Heck for another $5 or so you could just get a second hammer.

Including the allen wrench would have been helpful.
By Laurie
from Cape Cod, MA
Got this to go along with the #92037 air hammer. Screwed it on tight and the chisels wouldn't sit and lock. Found I had to loosen the item about a 1/4 turn and try the chisel again, did this a few times until the chisel would lock in - then I tightened the set screws. Which didn't have the allen wrench included... which sent me scurrying for a metric one that would fit. Seems to work well.
Very Surprised

I know this bit holder is CHEAP! I installed it, tightened the hex screws which one stripped out but so what! It works well! I still gave it a perfect 5 stars anyway. Holds the bits well, actually impressed with the performane of this tool.

The importance of Germany in Europe and the world has increased tremendously in recent years. The program in German emphasizes language study as a gateway to understanding another culture, and another way for us to understand the world and our place in it. Working with literature, film, and other cultural products, students engage with the wider political, social, and historical aspects implicit in every reading, and gain a practical understanding that is crucial for a variety of pursuits, including advanced study in language. The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures offers a full program of courses both for pursuing a German major or minor, or for complementing a major in another area with the study of German. German students may participate in Knox's student exchange program with the Europa Universität Flensburg, or engage in other off-campus study opportunities in Berlin, Freiburg, Munich, and Vienna.

might be nice but due to the bundling no use at all.
Hi there!
Why are giving a bad rating if you are obviously don't use this plugin or Genesis Framework at all?
This is misleading for other users as this is NOT a review based on usage! (So why are you reviewing it then at all?)
I would be happy if you change your rating based on actual usage.
Providing a free add-on here for a premium product is not a "crime" at all! This plugin is NOT "bundled" -- it's fully independent from the Genesis developers! No one have to use it if one don't like it.
Also, it's clearly stated here on this plugin's page that Genesis is required.
I am happy to help you find another alternative for a non-Genesis powered site if you are interested.
Thanks, Dave.

Skill Level Beginner
Using multiple light sources and reflective color creates the magical illusion of believe-ability, and pulls the viewer in. This might be easier to see if we look at one of my pieces in progress. The linear structure and composition of my pieces are always established first as a small thumbnail sketch, then revised to this larger image. The final sketch is then copied onto a tone paper, in this case a vibrant blue because it takes place under water and this serves as a unifying ground.
Remember, a ground is the color that you start with as an overall tone for an image when not working on white. As I develop the form with the most opaque color in the highest light, I consider what colors will pop off the chosen ground. Because the ground is vibrant, deep, cold blue, I choose to push a yellow green tone on the highest lit area with flecks of a peachy tone and let the shadow be closer to the blue. As a purple tone, then reflect a vibrant minty green, much cooler than the light, and a deeper value than the highly lit area to pop off the background and turn the form around.
I use reflected color that is cooler in temperature than the slightly warmer light to create an illusion of dimension. It appears to be reflected from something blue-green near the characters. Here you can see that the color value is being addressed as I push the overall contrast of the image, and focus more attention on the intensity of the light as it hits the characters in the foreground here. Contrasting the dark water and the background. I've also used complementary relationships to make them appear closer to us, spatially, because the ground is blue-purple, I've made the narwhal overall blue-green and pink, over green in the shadow area, so that the color in the shadow is a bit more neutral, and the seahorse is a green, orange, red, and blue-green, to contrast the background color.
Arrows face is the exception, as it is a blue, not unlike the background. A design that works on most of the other pages of the book so here I edge the color in a minty green so that he would still be visible. Tada! The finalized painting explores the overall color. I added in more blue over the entire piece so that it would feel as though it were under water. My goal in addition to creating drama was to push the dimensionality of the forms and create the illusion of depth of field in the image.
I contrasted value. Temperature, opacity, and complimentary color against the background color. This helped to create the maximum amount of space, perceived space, between foreground and background. For dimensional form, I use reflected secondary light to achieve volume, making sure that the color was a compliment to the color used in light. Into the shadow tone as well. By using light in a more complex designed way, I captured the feeling and concept that I intended, for maximum drama and interest.
But you'll have to read the book, to see how it all turned out.

Buzz about Empire of the Sun's over-the-top live production preceded its arrival Tuesday night at Summerfest's Miller Lite Oasis.

Reading the John Updike stories: 'The Astronomer'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
Like his story "Pigeon Feathers," Updike's "The Astronomer," published in 1961, deals with a crisis of faith. "Pigeon Feathers," written earlier but published a few months later than "The Astronomer," depicts a boy's loss of innocence about mortality and heaven. In "The Astronomer," 24-year-old Walter fears what effect an evening talking with an older, smarter friend will have on the shaky Rube Goldberg contraption of his belief construct. »Read Full Blog Post

High hopes for 2016 oil turnaround soured as oil continues its crash
Hopes within the oil and gas sector of a rebound in 2016 are looking more tenuous. Prices are expected to stay fairly low, giving drillers in Texas less incentive to put more oil on the market. Already the hard pullback in drilling is causing U.S. production to slide, ending a long boom. But the big winner is U.S. drivers, who, if estimates hold up, should enjoy another year of cheap gasoline.
Commodity crash
Both oil and natural gas prices have fallen over the last two years as production rises and demand in developed countries softens.
U.S. production sliding
In recent months, U.S. oil production has slid, reversing a long boom driven by Texas and North Dakota. (U.S. crude oil and liquid fuels production, in million barrels per day)
Drilling scales down
U.S. oil and gas drillers have pulled back as executives wait out the decline in commodity prices. (North American oil and gas rig count)
Salvation at the pump
After years of spending heavily for gasoline, U.S. motorists appear to have at least another year of low prices in front of them. (U.S. average retail gasoline price per gallon)
The bottom line
"We've got a slight imbalance in demand, and it's going to take some time to work that off."
John Watson, CEO of Chevron, on CNBC Dec. 8
"We are plumbing for a bottom even as we speak, and the first quarter is loaded with downward pressure on global prices. I think the market rebalances itself later in the year so that a $50-per-barrel price might be possible, at least when the market rallies on geopolitical news."
Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis, Oil Price Information Service
"The slowdown in the oil fields this past year shows little sign of abating. When sanctions lift against Iran, the flood of oil onto the world market could make the situation even worse."
James Osborne, staff writer, The Dallas Morning News
