This is my most favorite close to home campground, even tho it is 4 hours away. We do not use the RV section of the park, but instead boondock near the river. I love seeing osprey and eagles. There have been times we have woken up to eagle chatter. It is great to step out of your RV in the morning and be just feet away from the Mississippi. - Judy from IL

Very well maintained COE Campground. Access to the park is very good as is the interior roads. The north side of the park is more shaded, but has mostly 30 amp sites. The south side is wide open so no problem with satellite reception. The sites on the south side have mostly 50 amp service and about half the sites are reservable. The shower facility is on the south side and there were three drinking water faucets to fill your tank. There are two boat launch ramps, a swimming area and lots of fishing from the bank or on the piers. The north side of the campground was closed due to potential flooding so it is a good idea to call about river conditions. Would definitely stay here again. - Good Vibes

Park was very clean just like other COE parks we've stayed in. Not much grass on our side of park but I believe it was from Spring flooding as the park was closed in June due to flooding. The vault toilet facilities were clean. We did not use the shower house which was in the other loop. Sites are well spaced but no vegetation in between so you can easily see from one end of the loop to the other. The site we had was about 75 feet deep so plenty of room for big rigs. No water or sewer at the sites but there are water spigots scattered around the loop and a dump station at the entrance. Right on the Mississippi River boat landings in the park as well. Our price reflects my Access Pass discount. - Blu1e

Only about 10 sites total. All but two back up to Paint Creek which is known for great trout fishing. Our site was next to a building so we only had a view out of one side of our trailer. Very quiet and quaint. Would stay there again. - sp123

This campsite is simply wonderful. All of the sites have full hookups. And all of the sites back up to a trout stream full of trout !! This is a very quiet campsite that is perfect for a quiet getaway or fishing trip. The ground is very level and dry. The Yellow River State Forest is right down the road about 4 miles. The owners are very welcoming and helpful and they make you feel like you are right at home. - GrandmaLee

Our rate was Passport America price. We stayed 3 days and that was 2 days to long. All the good sites are taken by permanent residents. We made reservations 1 1/2 month ahead of time for a 50A site but once we arrived, we were given a 30A site and told they had no record our reservation. The Park Managment's response was "You Passport people want a 50A, Pull-through site for half the price." The 30A site we were on had the hook-ups on the wrong side. The entrance into park is very tricky with sharp curve at entrance. If you are coming from the North; you have to pass the campground and turn around and approach from the South because the entrance turn is so sharp. Like mentioned in other review, train tracks run within 150 feet from campground and it sounds like its coming through your camper. I would not stay here again even for 1 night. - K. Flooyd
Jul 2009 - $26.00
All the nice sites are taken by permanent campers. The overnight campers are in a circle of grass with no trees and no privacy. The mosquitoes and flies were horrible and the train was unbearable. Owners left you alone but were not very friendly upon check in. - grammaj
Jul 2009 - $26.00
Nice park but as previous reviewers noted all the riverfront sides are taken by seasonal campers from May-Sept. And the trains, oh my! Pretty empty on weekdays but only a handful of sites are available due to seasonal campers. - iowahank

What a gem!!!...Huge grassy sites, Awesome 2 acre man made lake that they call the pool, tube trips down the river (4 hour or 8 hour ride) and they actually let you use your own tube if you have one. There are some negatives. The pool and office close at 6 during the week (not sure about the weekend), be prepared to have no cell phone or internet service (they are working on the Wi-Fi) as you are in the middle of nowhere Iowa, dump station connection is odd...But those couple drawbacks are nothing compared to all the positives about this place. We would go back for sure, but it would have to be a extended stay (far from home). Great place! - bunny102

Looking for a "boys weekend" of camping and canoeing. Picked this resort based because of location, user ratings and the fact that they also run the canoe shuttle here. We arrived very late on Friday night, but had called ahead for the site number. Wasn't too hard to find, even in the dark. Sites were large, had more than enough room for my hybrid, slide-outs and 14 pax van. Woke up in the morning and really realized what a great choice we'd made. It's a beautiful area and great campground. The owner was more than accommodating even though he had a family function that weekend. The only problem I had was that there was only one urinal, toilet and shower for each VERY rustic bath house (don't know what the women's bath houses had), and there were only two bath houses for 115 sites. This might explain why they were as dirty as they were. They weren't filthy: I just wasn't all that crazy about it when I had to go do my "business". In all, it was a great weekend and there's no doubt that I'd return. If I don't, it's not because I wasn't happy. It'd just be because I wanted to try something different. - Bryan & Gina Mallin

Nice city park next to the fairgrounds and situated above the Kickapoo river. Mixture of shady and open sites. Avoid last weekend in Sept. since it's the apple festival and they are packed. Site layout is a little confusing. Only a few pull thru sites. All sites are on grass. Dump station is on the exit road. - glenthompson

While exploring this part of Wisconsin we came upon this nice little city campground. While we did not overnight here, I thought knowing about this campground may help others if in this area as very few campgrounds are listed in this part of Wisconsin. 30 amp sites with water. No dump station that I could find. One portable toilet. No other washrooms or showers. Nicely laid out, side by side hookups. Grass sites. Weekly and monthly rates available. Quiet area, nestled up against the Kickapoo River. Boating/kayaking, fishing in area. AT&T cell, Verizon air card ok. Satellite TV pointing appeared to be no problem. Some sites shaded, others in the open. Next to county fairgrounds. I would recommend this nice little park for anyone passing through this area. Located at the south end of 'School Avenue', south of old high school. - Brujomar

Grassy sites, mostly on a hillside. The few 50 amp sites are more level, and you can drive around to pull-through. Most sites are small, best suited for tents, popups, small B, C, or travel trailer. Free firewood (wet and smokey). Lots of walking at the park, some cost for city pool. Some sites are full of trees, fire rings and picnic tables, with possibly room for a tent. We has to park our 35' fifth wheel diagonally on the site to fit. Everyone we met in this area was very friendly. - 2hams

A great little find in the small town (650) of Soldier's Grove. While visiting this area for my wife's high school reunion, we came upon this city park/campground. Side by side hook ups. 30 amp with water. Dump station available. No public restrooms, so self contained is what works here. Being a city park, it also has tennis courts, a small skateboard park (no one used it while we were here), a playground, basketball court and volleyball court. Pull through sites big enough for the largest of rigs. Sites are all grass. Some sites back up to Kickapoo River. Plenty of width between units. You pay your nightly fee at the local pharmacy, gas station or city hall when open. Sites are not numbered. AT&T cell service, Verizon air card were fine and being fairly open, no problem with satellite TV. There were 6 other rigs here during our stay. If you have a reason to be in this part of Wisconsin, I can recommend this park. No phone number or reservations that I could find. It is also called Veterans Memorial Park on some signs. Located in the center of 'town'. Just GPS town center and you'll find it. - Brujomar

This is without a doubt the worst RV park we have ever stayed in. There was no wifi, no cell service (ATT) and no TV of any kind; trees block sats. Un-neutered dogs running loose, trash and dog poop all around. No grass at all in the transit area. Management was surly when you could find someone. This is a huge park with mostly seasonal residents. Lots of boats parked everywhere. Very loud trains running all day and night. Only plus is the restaurant on the premises. - Bojangles

Park has many amenities and restaurants nearby. Sites aren't bad. The lack of management is terrible. After 10:00 nobody answers the phone and the permanent sites turn into a giant frat house party. There is nobody enforcing any rules here so if you want a relaxing quiet weekend you are in the wrong place. At 3:00 AM there was loud music, screaming and partying still going on, the only thing you can do is call police and they tell you its a private campground and they won't do anything about it. Management just blows it off. Not family friendly at all. Also there is 400+ sites, bad map and nobody to escort you to your site. The roads are narrow and we spent 45 minutes driving around to find our site. - Dick Trickle

We were parked in the "Transit" area of the park. It was a back-in site, as most in this area. This RV park has a majority of permanent type RV/5th wheels/Park Models. This area is close to boating/fishing and other similar type activities. We are following the Mississippi River "Road". There was a train track next to the park and trains do run all day long. If you can put up with a little discomfort, this park would be fine for a couple of days. Lots of shade trees and no SAT available in the "Transit" area. - dhansen871

The park is about 2 miles from the main highway along a narrow, winding, two lane paved road. Trees encroached on the road and vehicles were parked on the actual roadway narrowing the width of the road to a hazardous condition. The main highway out of La Crosse is not in good condition. But a few miles from the turn off to the park, the road was recently resurfaced. The interior roads are paved but the design creates a challenge and potentially a hazard to larger MHs. The roads are narrow (some oneway) and some of the turns are tight. The site parking pads are either grass or asphalt. A large majority of the grass parking pads have significant challenges to leveling an RV. Some of the sites have steep slopes. Some of the parking pads near the river were subject to flooding. The sites are the largest that we have encountered in our travels of the lower 48 states. Privacy is established by distance. The water & electric connections were some distance from the parking pads requiring long runs of cord/hose. They had an outside table and moveable fire ring. Part of the park is covered with trees and another portion is open to the sky allowing for satellite reception. There seem to be a lot of long term residents called "Seasonal Campers". Those sites impacted the visual appeal of the park. Only WiFi reception was at the camp store. It was a long distance from the paved parking pad sites to the store. Dumpsters located throughout the park. The dump stations were located towards the rear of the park. One of them was along the main road in a congested area creating a traffic obstruction. The park did offer a pump out service for $25. Although the county has a leash law, many dogs were allowed off leash and there was no enforcement of the law. There was no designated, fenced dog area but there was sufficient area to exercise along the park roads and in the adjacent day use area but dogs off leash posed a potential hazard. - bsb814

Nice County park on the river. Clean sites and relatively quiet. WiFi was non existant on the south end of the campground. Had heavy rain (2") during the night which flooded several sites and the water remained for the two days we camped. All said, we would stay there again. - N8MD

First of all, this is an enormous campground with hundreds of sites for RVs and tents. It's right on the Mississippi River and its adjacent marshes. On weekdays it was half empty, but it was packed during the weekend with local campers towing boats and jetskis. Many of the RVs there look like they are permanent or seasonal residents, but in general they were tidy. None of the sites have sewer, but they have a mix of 30 and 50-amp electric, and some with water. There are a few bath houses, but the two at the south end of the park are new, large, and clean (25 cents for four minutes of shower), while the north one can best be described as "rustic". It's a 1.4 mile round-trip walk from our site to the south bath house, so we ended up driving for our showers, a first for us. The park is very dog friendly, and we never ran out of places to walk our active dog. We also found plenty of places where he could go for a quick swim in the river. Verizon and AT&T worked very well in the campground, but AT&T in general was spotty in La Crosse, going from 4 bars LTE to "no signal" just a half mile from the campground. The camp hosts we met were very friendly and helpful. One word of warning: the roads in La Crosse are some of the worst we've ever encountered. The 10 mile drive on WI-35 to get to the campground shook our motorhome mercilessly. In general, it's a nice family-friendly campground. If we return to La Crosse someday we'd consider staying here again. - LifeRebooted

Since there is no profile for a counterfeit coin, I check every raw coin I purchase. I've encountered counterfeit: old worn coins, new mint coins, cheap bullion coins, and expensive rare coins.
There aren't a lot of fake coins, but checking them is so easy that I make it a practice to check every raw coin I get. I continue to be relieved when they pass. I hate finding counterfeits and wish they didn't exist.
If I receive the coin in the mail, I check the coin by giving it the "ring" test that I've mentioned in other articles. If the coin rings and looks right, I rarely pursue further tests.
I even do the ring test in the coin store before I buy. I usually get strange looks from the counter person, but I decided that if there is an issue with the merchandise, I want to bring it up right in front of the dealer. I don't want them to say I walked out of the store, switched coins and demanded a replacement.
I try to only buy coins from sellers who guarantee the authenticity of their product. Even at that, claiming that someone just sold you a fake coin is a great responsibility. I have to be certain that the coin truly isn't what it was represented to be, before I go after someone for it.
In my hundreds of coin purchases, I've only gone back to two sellers for selling counterfeits. I felt like I needed such a strong case, that there was no doubt about the authenticity of the coin.
When I find a fake coin, I'm suddenly thrown into the quandary of what do I do about this. As in any situation, there are several options to choose from.
1. Do nothing.
2. Call the police. This is similar to option #1.
3. Contact the seller. This can be similar to #1, or more exasperating.
4. Call the counterfeit coin "Hotline" and report it.
I've found two types of coin sellers. The first is very concerned that they passed along a fake coin and didn't know it. The other seems unconcerned about the event, as if they expected a certain percentage of the fakes to be discovered. Both gave refunds however. I like dealing with the first type better.
When contacting a seller about an alleged fake coin, I show overwhelming evidence for my position. Most retailers want the merchandise returned in sellable condition. Unfortunately, if I cut the coin in half to look at the base metal, it won't be re-sellable (and I don't want it to be).
Counterfeiting is illegal, but is so difficult to trace that the police are largely unconcerned with the activity. Collectors have to be their own police. And, I have to admit I haven't found the phone number for the Counterfeit Hotline, yet.
In the end however, if you discover a counterfeit coin, it becomes your word against the seller's. It is pretty difficult to prove that you didn't exchange their "authentic" coin for a fake one in order to get a free coin out of them.
I have a special "cull" section of my collection for fakes. They are coins I couldn't return because I discovered them too late to pursue it, or didn't return them because I didn't want them resold.

China has been screwing up coin collecting for the past who knows how many years. China..... unfortunately is a country where we will always will have to deal with corruption. The Chinese will even counterfiet a baby rattler.

As you may have heard, the Senate voted last week to approve the Roberts-Stabenow version of the DARK Act. The next step is that it goes back to the House (since it's very different from the version the House approved last summer) and then on to President Obama.
This bill would be more accurately termed an UNlabeling bill. It has huge loopholes, no enforcement mechanisms, and a two-year delay before anything happens – except that it immediately overrides state laws that are already in place.
This is not a "compromise" on labeling – it is effectively a ban on GMO labeling, in disguise.
We expect the House to vote this week. Given that the earlier version of the DARK Act passed by a large margin, and that the House sponsor has said he'll support the Senate version, it will almost certainly pass the House.
The bill could be on the President's desk before the end of this week.…

The Drill: Rating baseball voices
The website Awful Announcing asked its readers to rank the television announcing crews of major-league teams.
There was lots of love for San Francisco's crew (Racine native Duane Kuiper, Jon Miller, Dave Flemming and Mike Krukow) as well as the dean of broadcasters, Vin Scully of the Dodgers.
The Brewers fared well, with the team led by Bill Schroeder and Brian Anderson coming in eighth.
Voters were not as kind to the Chicago White Sox crew, led by Hawk Harrelson and Steve Stone.
Top five:
1. San Francisco Giants
2. Los Angeles Dodgers
3. Baltimore Orioles
4. New York Mets
5. Chicago Cubs
Bottom five:
26. Philadelphia Phillies
27. Washington Nationals
28. St. Louis Cardinals

Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces..Mature
this story is about the lives of survivors of a outbreak it isn't completely serious so feel free to post bad comments:)
I heard about them on the news but always had been shot down by police and covered up by conspiracie theories and reports of wild drunks but I didn't believe it was true until the day it happened....
It was 09:00 in the morning and people were just waking up going to work (or just waking up to watch television).The mood changed when I heard a scream coming from the left of me, a group of about 10 people started coming out of their houses, out of their protection to see what the scream was from. I opened up the upstairs window to tired and to scared to walk outside.
Then another scream came and then another but I couldn't see what the commotion was about as the croud of people were crouding around one area of the street,then as if a bomb went off people started to run and scramble up off the ground and start shouting and women started to scream and I could finally see what they were staring at.
It was a girl but not like any other girl you had ever seen she had blood on her mouth and teeth truly a sight you only see when your drunk.The people who went outside had red marks on their legs which at this point was extremely clear what happened.
They had been bitten by the girl and the people able to run away hadn't been bitten.doors locked and windows closed lights turned off and as if it was instant more people started to come outside and the people with bites collapsed to the ground.I called the police and they came to the scene in around 10 minutes but ten minutes too long. The people with bites stood back up but with a angry look on their faces.
I woke up my wife and told her what had happened I had never seen her so scared and that look in her eye showed that she was half and half on the story so I opened the curtains just a little so she could see the attacks and the police trying to fend off the people and like a pain pain pill I felt a slight relief that i heard gunshots.
People dead on the floor with a number of around 20 people all killed by headshots from the officers gun 20 dead 0 casualties. I heard a click, a click that I will never forget the bones of the dead people started to click and click and click until they arose with a dementing look on their faces. They Wanted Revenge......

Melt the butter in a large sauce pan. Then add the jalapeno, onions and green peppers, sprinkle with salt and cook over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir. Add the rice and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the rice is golden, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat up to high and add 2 cups water and the stock. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, and reduce the heat to a simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, still covered, 3 minutes longer. Sprinkle with the lime zest and juice before serving.

Chapter 3
Chapter 3
After the realization on the swings, I had to be sure. I found all of the photo albums of my childhood. Mom had both of ours engraved with our names
Mary Elena Thomas and Lillian Ann Thomas
The loopy metallic letters looked down at me from the shelves, I went all the way back to the 1994 album and locked myself in my room with it.
Staring at the cover, there is nothing that I would give to have this be an overactive imagination moment. There is absolutely nothing to be found here Mary, just open the book.
Finally finding the courage, I start flipping through, starting from the back.
My three year old self staring back at me with chubby baby cheeks and a never ending smile, I find myself laughing at some of the photos despite my purpose for look at them in the first place.
I'm about half way through the book when there is a knock at the window. I look up to see- Caleb?
I am so confused at the strangeness of this situation that I am just staring at him standing outside leaning against the window with his hand cupped above his eyes as if to get a better look.
He knocks again and I jump up from the bed and pull the window open letting a burst of cold air into the room and asking unceremoniously "Why are you here?"
He looks slightly uncomfortable, like he is unsure why he is here too. Caleb is one of those guys that doesn't look uncomfortable often, especially when talking to a girl like me. I'm the girl that reads the entire summer book list for fun, who wears the nerd girl shirts to school, no shame. He is the letter jacket, perfect hair, and perfect body, with the pretty girlfriend type that is too busy working towards a sports scholarship to notice on the fringes of society me.
"I just thought, you know after today at the park… You looked upset so, well uh, I wanted to make sure everything was alright." He looks up again, red cheeks and snow started falling again… I realize how cold it must be out there and stand aside from the window
"Do you… want to come in for a minute? It looks freezing out there"
He looks behind him like maybe he will run but then turns and launches himself over the sill and onto the marvel themed carpet.
So I have come to the conclusion that I am in some sort of alternate universe, because it has been several minutes since I let Caleb in the room and we have ended up sitting on the floor him by the now closed window, and me with my back against my bed post.
"So… you saw me today huh?" I awkwardly attempt at conversation, thankfully he is also looking to break the silence.
"Yeah, you seemed upset… I don't know, I just saw your light on so I thought I would come over to see what was up." He smiles as if embarrassed and looks around my room to avoid eye contact. I watch as he takes in all of the posters on the walls, Jon Snow, Dr. Horrible, Draco Malfoy and Sharknado stand out to me as beacons of my nerd-ness and I am suddenly very self-conscious of every poster choice I have made in my life.
I try to pull his attention back to me and not my myriad of fandoms littering the surfaces of the room.
"That was nice of you, I don't think we have even talked since we were little," I say, "Remember the neighborhood parties?" I laugh at the memory of dominating the neighborhood football game and making all of the boys look bad. My dad always said that I was a better son than any actual boy would be. That was our way, I was the Tom boy and Lily was… well, she was whatever her mood made her into. The Goth mood is actually an improvement to the little miss sunshine of last year… not pretty.
"Yeah those were some interesting times," He looks over at me "So was that you telling me you don't want to talk about it?" I consider the possibility of telling him, maybe it won't be so bad. It would mean that I could continue looking through the album without having to wait for him to leave first.
I decide quickly and stand to grab my album off the bed. All the while talking "Well, I got a letter this morning, actually… my mom got a letter this morning. I thought it was from my grandmother, but it turns out that it was from someone else. Anyway, the letter sort of led me to believe that I am… that my parents…" I sigh and let the words rush out, "I think I'm adopted." At this point I have retrieved the letter and the album and am standing next to him, still seated on the ground. I plop down next to him and hand over the paper that could have just changed my life.
"Well, that is overwhelming." He looks over at me and then down at the album in my lap. "What's with the album?" he inquires.
"I thought that maybe I would find something in the album… you know that would hint at my adoption, but nothing is coming up, I don't see anyone I don't recognize and I don't think I've ever met a Jamie Harris, but who knows right?" I definitely have a shake in my voice and I am sure that I am just babbling now.
"Wow," he sighs, "I thought I had family drama." He winks over at me and I smile back. "If you want I could help with all of this, you know in case you want help." He looks back down at the album and I consider his offer. It does feel better to know that someone else is in on my secret.
"I'd like that," I answer.
The thoughts swirling around in my head revolve around and around one another
Do I really want to know? What if I'm right about this? Will anything else be the same again?

Kolkata, Nov 26: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee made a hurried announcement to compensate those who have lost their life-long savings in the Saradha chit fund scam last year. She announced that the compensation of Rs 500 crore would be paid from the state exchequer. Has it led to another financial irregularity in the state?
A committee was formed under former judge Shyamal Sen to hand over the compensation. The panel's tenure ended on October 22 and now the Principal Accountant General has sought detailed reports from the state government about the beneficiaries, a report published in Anandabazaar Patrika said.
According to the Shyamal Sen Commission, 12 lakh people had applied for compensation and around 5 lakh people were identified and the state government approved Rs 286 crore and cheques worth Rs 251 crore were distributed, the report said.
According to the ABP report, a number of cheques did not reach their destination and returned. Have they reached wrong hands?
The PAG has asked the state government whether the recipients were confirmed to be genuine before disbursing the cheques. The home department, however, has passed the buck to the finance department.
The Opposition had criticised the move to compensate but the CM ignored
The finance department claimed that procedures were not followed properly before disbursing the cheques and nobody cared to crosscheck the names of the recipients fearing action from the top authorities, the report said.

|Cinema Brewers a Trip to Paradise
Zlotta (277) Hagen / Bonn, Germany | July 30, 2016
Small liquor store with about 50 different bottles of beer. Mostly Belgian standards, but also with a decent selection of Dutch micros, most of them from the region. Nothing rare or special, but not bad at all. Decent prices, friendly staff. Not a place to go out of your way for, but also not a waste of time if you have a look at it.
kermis (475) The Hague / Amsterdam , Netherlands | July 30, 2016
Mainly non-beer but still with a selection of mainly local and Belgian brews. I didnt find any surprises here myself and was pretty hard pressed to find a new tick. Still if I lived in the area I would probably pop my head in once in a while.
dutchbeerpages (96) Wilnis, Netherlands | March 22, 2011
Service is great if the boss himself is there, he knows his beers. Had a great conversation once with him about hunting the Paasij (unfortunately no luck). Selection isnt very broad but once in a while he has some beers that you wont find in many more places. I wouldnt go on a pilgrimage to this site if youre from outside the city but if you live in De Pijp like I do you might be pleasantly surprised. He has almost all the t IJ beers, a few trappists and some German lagers and more.
altonbrownd (342) Chevy Chase, Maryland | March 27, 2010
Ive been going to this Slijterij for years, located in De Pijp, where I used to live. They always have random beers that I dont see anywhere else from Germany or the Netherlands. Harder to find new beers there now for me but a pretty obscure collection in a standard bottle shop.

Teaching requires justifying, explaining, analyzing errors, generalizing, and defining. It requires knowing ideas and procedures in detail, and knowing them well enough to represent and explain them skillfully in more than one way. This is mathematics. The failure to appreciate that this is substantial mathematical work does teachers – and the improvement of teaching – a disservice.

Over 50? Out of work? Watch out because IT is about to EAT ITSELF
Re: There's a reason your friend can't find a job
"In any society it's expected that the older ones move away from the day to day and help steer the younger ones. It's called "management". Sure that "old" guy may know where to fix a 20 year old 'nix bug but if he is still in the trenches then that knowledge is likely not being transferred."
I think this is way off target.
In my experience, those old guys who move into management do so because it's the logical career path that leads to salary increases. Once out of the trenches, they spend most of their time in meetings, so their skills go rusty and they have little time to pass on their knowledge to the front lines. Overall, the organisation loses.

"Like IPv4 addresses where one or more octects is often greater than 255."
I thought this was to prevent suggestible loonies actually trying to connect to that fictional IP address. If it's in a movie it must be real, right? Similar to the non-existent 555 exchange or area code used in telephone numbers.
Terminator Icon because we know it's IP address is in the 300+ range :-)

"My cynical side thinks that the Government wants to push loads of money to cloud providers to get infrastructue off their capital budget and ditch some expensive skilled personpower."
Well put. However ...
My cynical side thinks that the Government wants to push loads of money to cloud providers to get a nice cushy directorship lined up so they can walk into a new job after they get shit-canned at the next election.
Revenge smut bullies who send 'grossly offensive' messages WILL be prosecuted
Re: re: revenge porn can affect anyone
"Of course what we apparently need is more badly worded legislation to cover specific circumstances, rather than ensuring that existing legislation can cover the requirements, because politicians need to be seen to be "doing something" in the run up to an election."
And this, in a nut shell, is the reason we will be seeing many more instances of politicians making such claims over the next few months. All they want is face-time on camera as a means to keeping their jobs.

Ingredient found in TASTY BEER is GOOD for your BRAIN
Re: 3,520 pints a day?
"On the other hand, isn't this scientific study suggesting that children should drink beer?"
I thought that, way back in the Middle Ages, children did drink beer. It was safer than drinking water because the brewing process involved boiling the water, which killed all the microbes.
I could be wrong. I might have read that after I'd had a couple of pints :-)

Including, IIRC, the deliberate use of greenhouse gases to bring about global warming. I think the "Russell Cocktail" (named after Saxifrage Russell, the character who developed the idea) was accepted, in universe at least, to be the ideal mixture of gases to warm the Martian atmosphere.

I have a bad feeling about this ...
I get the impression that Dave, George, Nick et. al strongly suspect they are going to lose at the next election and end up out of a job. Thus they are making these "laws" so they can use their golden parachutes to land in a nice directorship role in one of the Silicon Roundabout startups (or even as a roving ambassador for Google).
Makes me feel decidedly queasy.
SAP: It was our Big Data software wot won it for Germany
Motion capture?
While watching a couple of games with a few beers and good company, I noticed the brightly coloured, almost day-glo, boots most of the players were wearing. I wondered if tapes of the games could be analysed to predict, or at least simulate, movement of players on the pitch. In video games, the player would control one team member (the one with the ball), while the game's AI would move the other players to tactically important places on the pitch.
Sounds like the SAP software could be used to improve the AI of games like FIFA. Given that Sony were one of the World Cup's major sponsors, a Sony/SAP tie-up seems possible.

There were similar stories floating about years ago, when the Polytechnics were "upgrading" to Universities.

Re: UK company bosses. "We don't just sell out to anyone"
"Is the VC backers forcing them to sell up at the first hint of someone who'll give them anything close to their preferred return?"
Cynical but probably true. However, there is an alternative view: that UK bosses know they'll never get appropriate support and protection from Whitehall and sell to overseas companies who can protect their assets (e.g. IP and patents).
PS: "Christopher Clague" ... the offspring of Nick Clegg and William Hague? <<shudder>>
So, what exactly defines a 'boffin'? Speak your brains...
Standing on the shoulders of giants?
Additional point: a boffin should build on the work of his or her predecessors. They can take the work of Newton, Einstein, Galileo, Oppenheimer et.al and think "wouldn't it be neat if we did this?" Of course, when their new ideas come to fruition, they should credit the original sources and perhaps explain what led to their examining this new line of research.
Anyone who takes someone else's research, builds on it and then claims all the credit is not a boffin. He or she would be a rip-off merchant.
Grammar Nazi icon because he has the look of a boffin-turned-lecturer :-)
Re: I really, really, hate that word
"I really hate the term boffin. It is too often used by certain publications to describe a man (and it is always a man, women in science tend to go by the term top science tottie) who though clever in a narrow field is incapable of dressing themselves in the morning or finding their glasses despite being perched on the top of their heads.."
That's the whole point of this discussion: to reclaim the word boffin as a term of respect and admiration for those in the scientific community who know their field inside-out and upside-down and can then apply that knowledge to bring about significant benefits.

Well put. The follow-up question being: who actually owns the rights/IP/copyright/software patents/source code to the original "Bejewelled" game(s)? (Or whatever family of games can trace its lineage back to the first version.)
This is a serious question. I'm not trying to start a flame war.

I think Microsoft's funniest advertising fail was for Windows 95. The soundtrack was the Rolling Stones' "Start me up", which was all well and good when clicking on the Start button was what Win 95 was all about. But that song then does go on to say "You make a grown man cry."
The irony was obviously lost in Redmond.

Forget Mars: Let's get someone on the Moon – NASA veteran
We have to get off this rock
I've upvoted a couple of earlier posters (Dan Paul and Ben Holmes) because I agree with their sentiments.
Where Dan's point is concerned, I'm with Stephen Hawking, who said "I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space". If we haven't left Earth in significant numbers before then, then the human race will be blasted back to the Stone Age. Look at the Shoemaker-Levy comet impact on Jupiter. That's a near miss in spatial terms. If it had hit the mid-Atlantic, where would we be?
Ben's point is the main problem:
"An[d] so the endless cycle of underfunded grandstand projects such as SLS continue, whilst NASA slips further and further into obscurity."
The technology, the brains and the desire (Elon Musk and even Richard Branson) either exists or is on the drawing board right now. What we (as a species) lack is the political will to make it happen.
Heck. Rant over.

"This is the 21st century, and anyone in technical fields or with a smattering of interest about computers ought to be encouraged to learn how to make computers do what *they* want, not just being taught how to operate Microsoft Office."
Well said, Quxy.
Though the follow-up question would be: how do we give those "in a technical field or with a smattering of interest about computers" the chance to learn? I got my first micro back in the Spectrum days because I wanted to cheat on my maths homework and soon learned that the machine couldn't perform miracles just because I switched it on. I had an Oric-1, with something of a dearth of mathematics programs, so to get anywhere I had to program the damn thing. It taught me an awful lot.
So how do we encourage the incoming wave of schoolkids and students, literally, to "get with the program"?

Ferndale Elementary School
Homework Administrative Guidelines 2016-2017
Homework is a delicate issue that we want to respect all stakeholders thoughts and ideas around. There is research on both sides of Homework as it relates to the support it provides students at all ages. With this in mind, Ferndale Elementary has updated guidelines and philosophy as it relates to Homework.
Homework may be given to support our focus on the development of a self-directed learner. If homework is assigned it will be based on the ability and needs of the student. A general rule of thumb is that children do 10 minutes of homework for each grade level**. K/1 - 10 minutes, 2nd grade - 20 minutes, 3rd grade - 30 minutes, 4th grade - 40 minutes, and 5th grade - 50 minutes.
Homework tasks typically fall into 3 categories.
Practice: Provides opportunity to apply new knowledge and reinforce acquired classroom skills. As homework is practice and not summative there will be no grade assigned.
Extension: Encourages students to pursue knowledge individually and imaginatively. This type of design will support students digging deeper into a subject of focus that the class or student wants to learn more about. For example, if students are provided a question to begin their Project Based Learning unit the child would come home to look up pertinent information to bring back to the class. (Either through Technology, visiting local library, interviewing a family member, etc) The focus for extension activities is to empower and engage students to learn more on a specific subject, there will be no grade assigned to this homework.
Engagement: Provides children and families ideas to support the Whole Child. Activities that fall under Engagement could include reading each night to your child to encourage language/cognitive growth, taking a walk around the block and trying to beat your time each day to encourage physical development, and making dinner time a 'tech free' zone to encourage language development. Many teachers/grade levels/schools send out a weekly or monthly calendar to encourage activities for family time and to support the Whole Child. (Schools should and will recognize the role of parents and suggest engaging ways to assist the school and support each child) The focus for engagement activities is to support the family enjoying time with each other there is no grade assigned for completion.

Chianti is VERY easy to drink!

Back via RADDA for lunch and some panorama photos.
A quiet afternoon, and dinner at the hotel.
Kate had a rough night, so we had a slow start next day.
Wandered around GAIOLE village, then to GREVE for a visit to the market, and lunch in RADDA on the way back.

- - ANNOUNCE: Andrew Broad opens website for Vera Zvonareva (http://www.tennisforum.com/333-zoom-zoom-zvonareva/145305-announce-andrew-broad-opens-website-vera-zvonareva.html)
ANNOUNCE: Andrew Broad opens website for Vera Zvonareva
After 18 months of being a casual admirer, followed by a month of much thought and watching of videos, I have decided to induct Vera Zvonareva into my fanship.
This means that from now on, and - I give my Word of Honour - until the end of her career (or my life), I will follow Vera with the same level of dedication as the seven players of whom I'm already a fan. My fanship now stands as follows:
1. Monica Seles
2. Maria Sharapova
3. Daniela Hantuchová
4. Jelena Dokic
5. Iva Majoli
6. Karina Habudová
7. Iroda Tulyaganova
8. Vera Zvonareva
So the WTA Tour Championships wasn't the only Elite Eight for which Vera qualified with her fine performance at Philadelphia! I ordered her quarter-final against Jennifer Capriati and her semi-final against Nadia Petrova from Tennis Videos International <http://www.users.bigpond.com/tennisvideos1/>, and I was very impressed by the amount of power she's added to the flairsome groundstrokes, amazing retrieval skills and tremendous fighting spirit that I saw when she beat Venus Williams at the French Open 2003.
I have added to my website a section on Vera Zvonareva <http://www.geocities.com/andrewbroad/tennis/zvona/>, which contains:
* My Vera Zvonareva Biography: This is not a copy of her standard WTA Tour biography, but my own detailed appreciation of her game, followed by a review for every year of her career. I will update this biography at the end of every calendar-year.
* Matchography: A complete list of every singles match counting towards the WTA Rankings that Vera has ever played. I will usually update this within 24 hours of every new match, or of seeing Vera's name in a tournament-draw.
* Match-Reports: This will contain blow-by-blow accounts of selected Vera matches that I've seen on TV (or in person, if her future trips to Eastbourne or Birmingham coincide with mine).
* Links to all the Vera-related sites I'm aware of.
I wish Vera and all her fans a Happy New Year.
Dr. Andrew Broad
Good job :yeah:
However, some errors stood out while perusing the biography.
Particularly, in this section:
Bepa and Elena D train at ЦСКА, while Nastya trains at a newer club in Moscow, the name of which currently escapes me.
Also, Bepa is now (I believe since around Wimbledon 2004) coached by Lex Carrington.
This may of course be out of date, seeing as this biography appears to have been written in 2003.
Am I right in thinking that Bepa is still coached by Julia, as well as by Lex? In her US Open 2004 fourth-round interview, she was asked what Julia was doing to calm her down.
Dr. Andrew Broad
ЦСКА stands for Центральный Спортивный Клуб Армии, which means "Central Sporting Army Club" (or something similar, as there are various translations). It was given this name because it was previously affiliated with the Red Army, in the same way that Spartak was sponsored by trade unions, and Dynamo by the KGB.
You may have heard of the football club CSKA Moscow? It's like one giant sporting club.
If you take a look here, you'll see that it is one of the greatest clubs in Russia. I also found this article, which shows why they captured so many hockey titles :eek:
Also, the CSKA website was reporting on Bepa's results towards the end of the season when she was trying to make the YEC.
I think that Julia is probably still working with Bepa, but in a reduced capacity, as I believe that she is coaching a new junior player.
I will ask Bepa about her coaching situation next week.
With regards to Myskina, I think that she could train at a club called Валери (Valery) in Moscow. According to the website, Myskina, Marat Safin, Tatiana Panova and Elena Bovina train there.
I believe this is the club that she was telling me about.
CSKA / Lex Carrington
Epigone, thanks for the information about CSKA and Lex Carrington. I have edited my Vera biography to replace "Spartak club like Anastasia Myskina and Elena Dementieva" with "CSKA club", and to add the following paragraph to my 2004 review:

It was around this time that Vera appointed Lex Carrington as a full-time coach. Lex had been Vera's hitting partner while she was living in Maryland with her old coach Julia Kashevarova, who is believed to be still coaching Vera in a reduced capacity.
