text: First of all i went out tonight just to cruse around some twistie road i found and then was comming back home just mellow sitting at a light...when all of the sudden i hear screeching tires next to me. I turned around and it was a black riced out honda civic, he had to break becasue he was going so fast and it was down the hill. Well since he was showing off to his buddies on bikes that rode up to him and were all laughing i decided to see how much i can kill him. Well needless to say but i put about 3 bus lenghts on him by the time i hit 3 rd gear, he was squeling tires at ever shift. Well about 4 lights later i came to a stop and then he joined to the right of me and gave me few nods with his head so i returned the favor, when all of the sudden to the left of me shiny BMW flew to a stop. All i knew it was the 5 series but thats all. Well lights turn green and i bog down a bit because of the adrenaline had me shaking, however i pulled on him about half a car through 1st and then inched away in 2nd and 3rd when i had to shut it down becasue of a nasty bend that was comming up... win number 2(it was a 530I). Few lights down i see an audi A4 with a coffie can for an exhaust and decided to fly past him to see if he was game. Indeed he was, i let him fly past me to the next red light. On the light i saw that it was a 1.8T, light turns green and he does a rolling start i follow..had to let off in 1st to not hit him becasue there was a limo next to us, as soon as we cleared it i just walked him but as a nother nasty turn was comming up i hit the brakes. However he wanted to do a fly by even going into a very nasty turn, i wasnt going to let him, i downshifted and punched it going into that turn but since i was on gas i just eate that turn right up. But guess what, i looked in my mirror to see where he was and i saw him going sideways , then he swerved badly and came next to me at the red light that i was standing. I was, ha dam, he almost wiped out, but was very pleased with the way my car handeled in that sharp turn. Sorry for being so long but that audi kid had me going

With iOS 9.3 and so much nonexistent functionality, it's no wonder everyone I know is switching to Android. Does anyone at Apple even use the iPhone?
If you agree with this list, tweet it to AppleSupport or something.
Customisable Control Centre Apps
If I can swipe up from the bottom right corner to open the camera, then I don't need a camera button in the control centre. Why can't we change these to apps we actually use?
Mark notifications as read
This one really boggles my mind. If I've read a message in the notifications centre, I don't need to see a badge app icon.
Set Do Not Disturb, Bluetooth, and Aeroplane mode for pre specified time periods
From what I remember, my old Nokia 5030 XpressRadio could do this in 2009… Step your game up Apple. Your piece of shit iPhone battery isn't good enough for me to pull an all nighter with Bluetooth on. I don't want to miss important Tinder notification because I forgot to turn my phone off Do Not Disturb mode.
Send read receipts to certain contacts
Most times I don't want people to know whether I've read the text message they've sent me, so I leave read receipts off. But there are some people in my life that I do want to send read receipts to.
Custom functionality for certain passcodes or fingerprints, eg, for kids
Imagine being able to give your phone to a 4 year old kid knowing that all they can do is play games. Sure, Apple might get reduced sales from people buying their kids a dedicated device, but they'd also see reduced numbers of people jumping ship to Android.
Customisable physical button
Imagine if there was an extra button on your iphone. By default it would enable the flashlight, but if you wanted to, you could assign it a special task. I would make mine immediately start recording video, or start the voice recorder, or start the countdown timer, or count the number of times Apple releases an iOS update without adding any decent functionality…
Swipe left to unlock
Currently we swipe right to unlock, and swiping left does nothing. This feels like a wasted opportunity. Why not swipe right to unlock and go to home screen, and swipe left to go straight to the app that was last open? No increased knowledge gap, no downside.
Make a phone strong enough that we don't need to put a bulky case on it
Apple is trying so hard to make their phones as thin as possible. Unfortunately this makes them so fragile that everyone ends up buying a bulky case to protect their investment. Why not make a phone that's strong enough not to need a case? And while you're at it, add a piece of steel to the corner of the next iPhone so I can open the beer I so badly need right now.

About Valerie
Though I enjoy and have experience at teaching all ages from children to adults, I spec
In addition to being a teacher, I am also a singer/songwriter, and performed for 6 years at local coffee shops and outdoor events within Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey. I am also a member of a local professional caroling group called Yuletide Singers which performs seasonally in places like Longwood Gardens and corporate functions. My history for performing stretches back, though, to my years as a puppeteer/children's performer, touring with a team doing school assemblies and evening family performances. I'm always excited to bring my understanding and experience with performance to my students!
**And, with excitement, I must add that TakeLessons named me "Teacher of the Week" on October 4, 2010! What a great honor! Thank you TakeLessons!!**
*** Lesson Details ***
Our time spent together will be filled with many smiles & laughs because that is probably why you want to take lessons -- because it makes you feel wonderful inside!
Within 3-6 months, we'll begin discovering how to read music and understand the language of it. We'll learn how to play/sing some of your favorite songs and learn some that you might not know. We'll discover what you really want to learn and achieve through taking lessons, and we'll work toward those goals!
For the intermediate piano student, we will begin understanding basic Music Theory and scales and will even take a look at how chord symbols work. Soon, you'll be learning how to accompany yourself and others as you sing! For singers, we'll learn about vocal techniques, breathing, getting your best vocal sound and discovering how to take a song to its potential! We'll also learn performance techniques, how to work with a microphone, have a great stage presence in front of a live audience and begin learning how to read music and even get familiar with the piano keyboard! For all my students, it's a journey that is exciting, unique to each individual, and one we will embark on together!
Because music is a performing art, I coordinate two music recitals each school year for students who are interested. This is an optional event, but is encouraged as part of the learning experience. It is usually held at a local firehall and presented in a low-stress and fun way with refreshments that follow!
*My studio is in a safe, family-friendly home & smoke-free environment. We also having a loving canine member in our family... a Yellow Labrador Retriever named Maximus. He is energetic and friendly. You may or may not see him since the entrance to my studio is through our back door, off the main house.
So! What do you say? Shall we START THE MUSIC? :)
*** Studio Equipment ***
Lessons are enjoyed in a dedicated music room; keyboard (full-size with weighted keys and sustain pedal)
*** Specialties ***
*Teachers classified as a Student Favorite have taught a minimum of 25
lessons and have received the highest feedback rating from students.
I specialize in music education for all children, including ones with special needs. I feel it is so important for a child to start out with a fun and wonderful experience with music and performing. My approach is simple and fun and understandable for the young mind.
For my more intermediate students, I enjoy taking them to the next level of understanding in their instrument as well as music theory.
Because music is a performing art, I coordinate two music recitals each year for students who are interested. This is an optional event and presented in a low-stress and fun way!

About Thomas
Thomas has a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education from The Pennsylvania State University. He holds a teaching certificate in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey and has taught at the secondary level in both states. In addition to both instrumental and choral ensembles at Penn State, Thomas was a student leader in the Penn State Blue Band and a member of the brass section of the Cadets of Bergen County Drum and Bugle Corps in 1993 and 1994. He served as an Associate Director of the Warren Junior Military Band of Youngstown, Ohio from 1995 to 2005. He also served as a visual staff member for the renowned North Penn Marching Knights of Lansdale, PA for one season in 2004.
He is a current adjudicator with Drum Corps International and Cavalcade of Bands. He is a member of MENC, PMEA, NJMEA, ASCAP, CASA, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, and the National Band Association. He appeared in the Marquis Who's Who Among American Educators in 2004 and 2005, an honor rarely bestowed upon teachers, as students who appear in the Who's Who Among American High School Students must nominate them. He currently is a music teacher at the Center for Performing and Fine Arts of the PA Leadership Charter School in West Chester, PA and resides in Downingtown, PA with his wife and two sons.
Thomas will happily work with students on the autism spectrum or students with ADD.
*** Lesson Details ***
My lessons are tailored to the needs and interests of each student. If a student is involved in school music ensembles, we will work with their lesson books from school in addition to material outside of the books, including SmartMusic, Noteflight, and teacher-created materials. We will focus on building proper tone production and individual technique - something that often is difficult to learn in a large ensemble setting.
I am capable of starting a beginner student on any band instrument including percussion, any classical string instrument (violin, viola, cello, string bass), and piano. I can begin a student on drum set and work with them through their first method book, but I would then recommend they find a specialized drum set teacher after a period of six to twelve months.
For advanced students, I work from selected conservatory etude books on developing advanced skills and can work with students on audition pieces for honors bands/orchestras or college auditions.
My lessons are a half-hour once a week, with the option of working for 45 minutes or 60 minutes.

About me!
I am a Westminster Choir College '11 Alum who graduated with a Bachelor's of Arts in Music, summa cum laude. I also have my master's degree in music therapy from Drexel University.

I have been teaching for over four years and now have a studio of more than 70 happy students. Teaching music is my passion, and I love seeing students grow!
I often draw upon my experience from my master's degree in music therapy, which taught me that music can have a profound effect on the human brain and upon cognitive development. My skills as a music therapist allow me to better understand a student's cognitive strengths and areas for improvement, and to develop individualized teaching strategies which utilize student strengths.

Fox's Garrett falsely claimed CBO determined that revised SCHIP bill "would cover fewer children"
Research ››› ››› JEREMY HOLDEN
In reporting on the House's vote to pass a revised bill expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), Fox News' Major Garrett asserted, "Congress' own accounting office said the new SCHIP bill would cover fewer children and at greater cost than the original bill." In fact, the Congressional Budget Office said that the revised bill would cover as many children in SCHIP and Medicaid as the original bill would have covered.
During the October 25 edition of Fox News' Special Report With Brit Hume, Fox News congressional correspondent Major Garrett reported on the House's vote (265-142) to pass a revised bill expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) and asserted, "Congress' own accounting office said the new SCHIP bill would cover fewer children and at greater cost than the original bill." In fact, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said that the revised bill would cover as many children in SCHIP and Medicaid as the original bill would have covered. The CBO estimated that the revised House bill would enroll 7.4 million children in SCHIP and 26.7 million children in Medicaid for an estimated total enrollment of 34.1 million children. CBO estimated in September that the bill vetoed by President Bush would have enrolled 7.8 million children in SCHIP and 26.3 million in Medicaid, for an estimated total enrollment of 34.1 million children. Bush has threatened to veto the revised House bill.
Garrett's false assertion echoes a misleading White House Statement of Administration Policy that claims the revised bill "would enroll 400,000 fewer in SCHIP in 2012 than were enrolled through" the earlier bill, but fails to note that the revised bill would enroll 400,000 more children in Medicaid than would have been enrolled through the earlier bill.
In contrast with Garrett's assertion, an October 26 Washington Post article on the bill passed by the House reported that a CBO analysis "showed that the new version of the children's health insurance bill did make some substantive changes that Republicans had demanded. Under both versions, the combined average monthly enrollment in SCHIP and Medicaid would be about 34.1 million people, according to the CBO. But there is a shift toward serving poorer children, a key Republican demand. In the new bill, Medicaid enrollment alone would be about 400,000 individuals higher than under the vetoed bill, while SCHIP enrollment would be about that much lower, according to CBO documents. Almost half of the 3.9 million uninsured children projected to gain coverage under the revised bill would be covered under Medicaid, of whom about 80 percent live below the poverty level, said Genevieve Kenney, an Urban Institute health economist."
From the October 25 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
BRIT HUME (anchor): The House has passed a revised bill on health insurance for poor children, although not by a sufficient margin to override the veto that President Bush has again promised. The final tally came after heated objections not only to the substance of the bill, but to the timing of the vote. Congressional correspondent Major Garrett explains.
[begin video clip]
REP. NANCY PELOSI (D-CA) (House Speaker): Once again, a strong bipartisan majority will speak up for America's children.
GARRETT: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi teed up debate on a slightly revised bipartisan bill expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program, also known as SCHIP. But first, she had to quell a GOP uprising over scheduling the vote while many California lawmakers were tending to fire-ravaged constituents.
REP. ROY BLUNT (R-MO): We've got a million people displaced, more people displaced in the country today than anytime since the Civil War.
GARRETT: So Republicans gummed up the works with meaningless procedural votes.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I ask for a recorded vote.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Mr. Speaker, I request the yeas and nays.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That I ask for a recorded vote.
GARRETT: The GOP hijinks burned more than three hours off the clock, as members smoldered over Pelosi's decision to rush the new SCHIP bill to the floor in the face of the wildfires, and in defiance of her own promise to give members 24 hours to read bills before a vote.
BLUNT: This is a bill that doesn't even have a single House sponsor. It's 293 pages. If it's such a great bill, why not let the members read it?
GARRETT: Pelosi said the House could not wait to act, even though the Children's Health Insurance Program is funded through mid-November. Pelosi said that despite his near constant focus on the wildfires, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger asked about the SCHIP bill's future this week.
PELOSI: One-point-two million children in California will benefit from this SCHIP bill that we are passing in the Congress today. The governor understands that, he's been a strong supporter of it, and he is helping us to pass this legislation.
GARRETT: President Bush vowed to veto the revamped Children's Insurance Bill, sure to lengthen a standoff that began when the House sustained his veto of the first SCHIP bill.
MICHAEL LEAVITT (Health and Human Services secretary): The bill that is currently considered being considered by the Congress essentially floods this program with money, and then would blow the doors off eligibility.
GARRETT: Congress' own accounting office said the new SCHIP bill would cover fewer children and at greater cost than the original bill. Democrats said Republicans will eventually regret their intransigence.
REP. CHARLES RANGEL (D-NY): At the end of the line, the question is going to be, did you vote for health care for 10 million children, and did you vote to support the $35 billion that's necessary to do it?
GARRETT: The Bush administration said it considers this new bill a budget-buster.
LEAVITT: This bill clearly has as much as $15 to $18 billion more than is necessary to carry out a policy that cares for poor children.
[end video clip]
GARRETT: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will bring this bill to the Senate floor next week, probably Tuesday or Wednesday, adding another chapter to the Groundhog Day quality of the SCHIP debate, and putting off negotiations, it appears, Brit, between the White House, congressional Democrats and congressional Republicans.
HUME: That on a bill that the president could sign, you mean?
GARRETT: Indeed.
HUME: All right, Major, thank you.

Respiratory failure of different origins often requires therapy with mechanical ventilation and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). These supports are occasionally inadequate if the damage to one lung is significantly more pronounced than that to the other lung. Technical means exist to ventilate each lung independently or to provide a different PEEP to each lung. The findings from nine patients in whom one of these techniques was applied are presented, and advantages and disadvantages are discussed.

The Holly Man was part of a pagan procession on the South Bank to celebrate Twelfth Night and bid a fond farewell to Christmas merry-making for this year.
The arrival of the Holly Man by boat on the Bankside, covered in evergreen foliage, heralded a celebration of the new year with ancient seasonal customs.
In pagan folklore Holly Man was the winter guise of the Green Man. The Holly Man traditionally 'brings in the green' and toasts the people, and the River Thames, to encourage good growth.
Twelfth Night falls on January 6, chosen by the Church as the day to celebrate the visit of the Magi. This day was already significant for pagan midwinter festivities as it was the day before a return to work on Plough Monday, and therefore a last chance to make merry.
The Mummers play processed to the Bankside Jetty, to perform the folk combat play of St George, featuring Beelzebub, the Turkey Sniper, the Doctor, Clever Legs, the Old 'Oss and many others, dressed in their colourful "guizes". The play is full of wild verse and boisterous action, a time-honoured part of the season recorded from the Crusades.

You are hereBlogs / dlindorff's blog / When the official default is to lie: In Us We Have to Trust
When the official default is to lie: In Us We Have to Trust
By Dan DeWalt
"If people can't trust not only the executive branch but also don't trust Congress, and don't trust federal judges, to make sure that we're abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we're going to have some problems here."
-- President Barack Obama
While President Obama used the right words in this quote, he clearly is taking the public for idiots.
Because as he surely is aware, we do have some big problems. They are not caused by misguided citizens who foolishly mistrust their government, though. Rather, our problems stem from the fact that our leaders, including him, have consistently lied to us, been corrupted by big money and have acted to benefit corporate interests to the detriment of the commonweal.
On March 12 of this year, when Obama's National Intelligence Director James Clapper told a congressional inquiry that the government does not wittingly conduct surveillance of Americans, he was lying. He was deliberately deceiving the very people upon whom we're told to rely to exercise oversight and safeguard our rights. When caught out in his lie by the disclosures of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, Clapper additted his prevarications, saying he had tried to give "the least untrue answer" he could come up with.
Obama himself too, subsequent to Snowden's disclosures of the NSA's nationwide vacuuming up of all electronic communications of all Americans, has radically changed his tune about the surveillance techniques which he criticized under President Bush but has now embraced fully.
At this point, when it comes to our elected and appointed leaders, we can trust only that their words are untrustworthy.
Trust Congress? Venal, corrupted, pawns of their powerful financial contributors, feckless posturing maintainers of the status quo; not too much to trust there.
How about the courts? How much trust can we gin up for the brilliant black robed justices who have anointed corporations with personhood? When they go duck hunting with a torture advocating Vice President one day, and rule on the constitutionality of his draconian national security laws the next, how much trust do they inspire?
No Mr. President, the problem is not with us, it is squarely with you and the National Security State that preceded you and that you have continued to further expand and empower...

One cool think I've found out is that you can register your schools and organizations, and find out who else on myspace has registered. I've already checked out myspace people from my high school. I'm going to check out the other schools next.
(and yes, I know that the 'evil' News Corp owns myspace)
I also have a facebook account which is linked via a badge on my myspace profile. Facebook is centered around the type of networking that I found hidden deep in myspace (as mentioned above).
And for good measure I'll link to my digg profile.
Other online profiles and sites of mine can be found in the My Sites section of the navigation bar to the left on this site.
There, that should do it.
UPDATE 2009:I've been using FriendFeed mainly, since it aggregates all my online 'stuff'. FriendFeed has real-time live updating and commenting along with distributed moderation and powerful search. If you try it and don't get it or can't figure it out let me know and I'll help you out.

Hi, I'm T. A Blog about a Dog's life….
Hi, I'm T. Sue's my Mommy. This week has been an exciting one for me!
A new puppy moved in next door to us. She barks a lot but I think I can teach her not too. But it's nice having a little friend right next door.
So this is the thing about puppies–Everybody knows they're cute and cuddly. But bigger dogs are cute and cuddly too. I was adopted from a shelter and I wasn't a puppy. I'm still pretty cute and cuddly. If you have a family especially with kids, go to my friends over at the Popcorn Park Rescue Zoo and see if an older dog might work for you. My Mommy always tells me there's never a better dog than me because I was in a shelter. And she tells me, I picked her. And she's right.
Boy oh boy, there's something I have to tell you. I love peanut butter. All of a sudden I'm wanting peanut butter all the time. When a sandwich is made for my sister, I always want the crust with peanut butter on it. YUM! Almost as good as my bonies.
I'd really love to see some other dogs and go for more walks….Where's a good place you take your little furry four legged friends here in Ocean County so I can tell Mommy to take me there! I need to work off the fat-pockets! lol

How To Get Gout Relief
Numerous Americans are afflicted with Gout. Gout is metabolic arthritis. It can be extremely painful and can make walking a most agonizing experience. For many years people have avoided foods with a high purine levels or taken risky steroids to help give some form of gout relief. Home remedies are always worth a try, but will in some cases require trial and error. Here you will find some home remedies you can start today avoiding the costs of prescription drugs or the dangerous side affects that accompany many of them.
1) Drinking water is beneficial with gout relief. You should begin by drinking on average 2 to 3 liters of water a day. Water will help your body flush the uric acid from your bloodstream by way of the kidneys and the urinary track system to leave your body.
2) Hydrotherapy can be another useful gout relief remedy. This is particularly helpful with pain. Running cold water over the afflicted area or if available soaking the area can help temporarily relieving pain by reducing swelling and the burning sensation.
3) Making up a compress comprised of juniper oil has been found to be very beneficial to many gout sufferers. Placing this on the affected area will help brake down the toxic deposits
4) Taking activated charcoal in small doses will help reduce the uric acid levels in your bloodstream.
5) Doing targeted exercises for your effected joint can lessen gout symptoms. This will include doing a full field of motion of your joint. It may be necessary to do these exercises two to three times daily.
6) Certain foods can help neutralize the uric acid levels in your blood. In particular strawberries, nuts, grains, and seeds will all neutralize uric acid. Berries that contain significant amounts of vitamin C and minerals are recommended to help relieve gout.
7) Do not take aspirin, despite the fact that aspirin is a pain reliever. Aspirin has been shown to raise the uric acid level in your bloodstream. This could increase your pain and inflammation of the affected joint.
8 ) Devil's Claw is another anti-inflammatory that can help ease the pain. Devil's Claw was first brought home by the colonists to help relieve arthritis. The plants large roots were used to help reduce pain and fever. Be advised if you have Diabetes or using a blood thinning medicine do not take this herb.
Here were just a few suggestions that you can start today to try and find gout relief. As with many home remedies there is not always medical research to back up the findings. Before experimenting with any home remedies you should always consult your primary care physician to find out what is safe for you.

When it comes to being forgiven, maybe you think you're exempt because you believe there isn't very much that you need to be forgiven for. If that describes you, you are probably a fairly unloving person. In Luke 7:47 Jesus says that "he who is forgiven little, loves little." Often this is a character trait of people like me who grew up in the church. In many people's eyes (and especially in our own eyes) we've lived "better" lives than the rest of you. After all, there are a lot of bad things that we haven't done.
But this perception is simply NOT TRUE. In reality, we've just sinned in less visible ways. We are like the older brother, the "good son" in the Prodigal Son story.
You know the story… the prodigal, the younger brother leaves home in disobedience, blows all his money, and sins in every way he can imagine. The "good son" – the older brother – stays at home and obeys his father, is wise with his money, and has high moral standards. And yet in the end its the younger brother who knows he deserves nothing and begs for mercy. The older brother believes his father owes him for his good behavior.
Many of us who grew up in the church think like the older brother:
1. We think highly of ourselves
We think this on the basis of all the bad things we haven't done. We haven't pursued wild living, we haven't done drugs, we haven't slept around, we didn't end up broke in the gutter… so we're "better".
2. Others think highly of us
We have a "good reputation". We think of ourselves and are thought of by others as "good people" who do very little wrong and must be on "good terms" with God. Appearance is more important to us than reality or authenticity.
3. We love to have people in our debt
We love to make them feel – and let them know – that they owe us something. If they've been out there living it up and we've been stuck in our bubble of safety all this time, they better work awfully hard in our presence to win back our favor! This also draws attention away from our own flaws. Our flaws, like the older brother's are usually less visible, but from God's perspective they are no less ugly.
4. We are likely to be punitive
We often believe the lie that we're better. We believe that other people have done bad things and should beg for our forgiveness for the rest of their lives. Those who have wronged us need to pay for what they've done! They need to work their way up to our status level.
5. We're likely to be ungracious
When someone wrongs us and asks for our forgiveness, we like to hold it over them for just a little bit longer. We're don't act like the father of the prodigal; we're not out there looking for them, looking down the road to see if they're coming, waiting with anticipation.
Do you see yourself in this description? I see myself.
As a result, our relationships are often characterized by the making of accusations and holding people to a standard of perfection that we ourselves only appear to meet. We must maintain our higher standard, protect our reputation… and so we are often ungracious and punitive.
Instead, our relationships should look like this. In the words of Thomas Oden:
"Where forgiveness pervades a relationship, it is no longer dominated by aggressive charges, counterclaims, and legalistic attempts to recover damages… The Lord's Prayer makes it clear that we are bound to share with others the forgiveness we have received from God."
So, "good sons" and "older brothers," recognize that you too have been forgiven much. Now, go and love much. Share with others what you have received from God.

Keepers are a breed apart in many ways, and often train separately with their own coach, doing their own drills, living in their own world. Still, the goalie, isolated in his own penalty area for long stretches of a match, has the proper vantage point and plenty of time to peruse the product of a coach's labors.
The tinkering of lineups and personnel and formations and tactics by Red Bulls coach Juan Carlos Osorio has attracted much notice and some disdain, but as keeper Danny Cepero notes, the Osorio Method is as much about what a player is between the ears as what he does between the lines.
"In terms of his skills and what he brings as a coach, he's very adamant and very focused on keeping us mentally prepared," says Cepero, a veteran of just five pro games who is one step shy of winning an MLS Cup. "You can talk tactics until you're blue in the face, but at the end of the day it comes down to mental toughness, and he's very keen on keeping us in the mindset where we need to be confident."
Players lost to retirement, injuries and suspensions yielded a roller-coaster season and not until the last few weeks could Osorio settle on a lineup. Some of his choices were forced - MLS slapped 10-game bans on defender Jeff Parke and goalie Jon Conway, an injury ended the season for midfielder Seth Stammler - but Osorio also benched three of his four midseason international signings.
Steeling the center of midfield with rookie Luke Sassano and second-year pro Sinisa Ubiparipovic may have deprived New York of some experience, but it has worked well enough. The one midseason signing retained in the starting lineup, Diego Jimenez, overcame poor performances in recent months to further strengthen the middle, and Chris Leitch, who has ping-ponged between Columbus and New York in his seven pro seasons, has held solidly at right back.
There's been a lot of luck involved winning at Houston (3-0) and Real Salt Lake (1-0) in the playoffs, but stats are facts, and the Red Bulls have allowed just one goal in three postseason games. Cepero's saves have bailed out his team on a dozen occasions, but good goalkeeping has long been a staple of MLS playoff success.
This defensive resilience seems impossible from the same team that lost during the season by scores of 5-4, 4-0, 4-1, 5-1, and nearly blew its playoff chances in a 5-2 pounding at Chicago in its last game. New York backed into the playoffs when Columbus - now there's irony - beat D.C. United in the last game of the season.
"As I mentioned before, it's to keep telling the guys that if we defend properly, we are competitive," says Osorio. "We play within the rules, we're aggressive in a controlled manner, if we play for each other, we play with each other, we compete for each other and we just keep clean sheets, we'll always have a chance to score goals, as we proved in the last games."
The Fire put those five goals past Cepero in his second pro game, after he'd debuted by scoring an 80-yard goal against Columbus in a 3-1 win. If there's one player whose confidence could have been shattered, it would have to be a 23-year-old goalie who spent most of the season on-loan to USL-2 club Harrisburg and got thrown into the nets by Conway's suspension.
Osorio and goalkeeper coach Des McAleenan didn't let that happen. Toughening their young keeper is why they sent him to Harrisburg in the first place. "It wasn't like I was heartbroken at the end of the game," says Cepero. "You lose games. That's just the reality of things. Goals are scored against you and sometimes there's only so much you can do.
"We need to believe and have that desire, that passion that I was talking about earlier. In the league, there's so much parity and there's so much equality amongst the teams that at the end of the day it's the mental strength and the ability to maintain focus for 90 minutes. That's what's going to carry teams through."

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
I'm sorry, but that question was HILARIOUS!! Like any habit you find unbecoming, teach them not to do that and hopefully they will discontinue. I guess it's like biting, only this is behaviour is frowned upon amongst humans, but I guess a dog just doesn't care. This is a great example of why NOT to let a dog (animal) lick your face. I'm only making light of the question because my moms Weimaraner was doing that to my Miniature Pinscher. Of course I smacked Simon; the Weimaraner because I felt he violated Pinto (my dog) lol

are you burning the ISO as a file?? if so make sure u burn the Image.
if you are, then try reburning the image at a lower speed (x1), if that dont work maybe a different disk.
I am trying to run Back Track 4 on my Acer Aspire 3050 but whatever I try to do I can not seem to get it to work.
I downloaded the .ISO from the remote-exploit site and checked the MD5 sum as I was told to do in an article that describes how to burn a Linux Live CD. Then I burned the .ISO file on DVD-R using CDBurnerXP Pro.
Now when I try to boot from my CD drive and only my CD drive it tells me no operating system could be found.
After that I tried to run it in a Sun Virtual Box. There it told me the same:
However when I try to run the .ISO image directly in the Virtual Box and not from the DVD it works.FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.
What could I be doing wrong during the burning process? Does the disklabel: bt4-label.png offered on remote-exploit has something to do with it or do I need to unpack the .ISO first before burning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
are you burning the ISO as a file?? if so make sure u burn the Image.
if you are, then try reburning the image at a lower speed (x1), if that dont work maybe a different disk.
You tried this on a CD drive when the burnt media is on DVD-R instead of CD-R? umm wth? and if its not that have you checked the burnt disk would pass MD5 check? if not, its probably the lens are dirty and needs cleaning :P..
There is another alternative, use usb flash drives.
I tried to look for tutorials with a step by step explanation for installing using a flash USB but I could not find any for Back Track 4.
So guess shortly my questions are.
1. Is it wrong to burn the .ISO to DVD instead of CD?
2. The .ISO for back track 4 is over 1 Gig, are there CD's for this?
3. Would a 2 Gig. Flash memory stick work?
1. No, burning an ISO to a DVD is fine (required for BT4).
2. No, burn it to a DVD
3. 2GB flash drive is enough for booting, yes.
Here is a step-by-step guide. If you don't want a persistent installation then simply skip most of those steps. Just do the step where you use unbooten on the USB drive.
Backtrack 4 – USB/Persistent Changes/Nessus | Infosec Ramblings
Thanks all I managed to get it to run using my 2 Gig USB stick. Jumping over to the general section now for a few basic questions I have in Linux itself.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.

Mix the ingredients and let them stay refrigerated a day or so to combine flavors.
When I worked at McGuinness, on Broadway, in NYC, just across from the Latin Quarter, we used to have two 18 gallon wood pickle barrels in the refrigerator, each filled with cocktail sauce, as our raw bar was very popular on Broadway. When one was empty, we would refill it and start the next, leaving the first to "age in the wood" for a day or so, The boss Mr. Willie Glickstein, insisted that only Heinz Catsup and Chili Sauce be used and no other product ever entered the premises. We used frozen grated horseradish, as the boss thought it was the "freshest" and it had no oil of mustard added.
Thank goodness he didn't insist on fresh grating it, but you can. Just look out when you add the vinegar to the fresh grated roots, its like a mustard gas attack. There used to be guys with little wagons like hot-dog stands who went around selling freshly grated horseradish, but " them days is gone forever."
You can't argue with success, but you can vary the horseradish and fresh lemon juice to taste. My advice is to stick to the Heinz, half and half, and use this on clams and shrimps, not oysters.Note: For some perverse reason, no doubt going back to childhood shrimp cocktails, I like this sauce on shredded iceberg lettuce.

Last Saturday, I had a baking bonanza spending three hours in the kitchen making three different cakes. I did not do this just for fun, even though I do love baking when the mood takes me. My Mom, Elaine is trekking the Grand Canyon for Scope (the charity for people with Cerebral Palsy) in November and on last Saturday night, she ran a skittles night with Fish and Chip supper, with all the proceeds going to Scope. I decided to make some cakes that I could sell to people for pudding after the fish and chips. I also baked a cake which we auctioned off. By the way, my cakes will never win any awards for presentation, but they always seem to taste good!
I asked the people of Twitter for ideas for a chocolate tray bake. @BigSpud (link to his blog here), @Mapperz (link to his blog here) and @Wazzat (link to her blog here) made suggestions. I decided to go with @Wazzat's recipe as it quite simple, easy to make and did not contain any nuts. I was slightly concerned about the possibility of people having allergies. The recipe is below and top chocolate cake picture is the finished result.
Choccy Tray Bake
Ingredients for the Cake
250g unsalted butter (I used President Butter)
300g caster sugar
1tsp vanilla
3 eggs
200g self-raising flour
50g cocoa
100g milk chocolate drops/chips
Ingredients for the Topping
85g butter
85g caster sugar
200g light condensed milk
50g milk chocolate drops/chips + a bit
Butter and line tray bake (about 20×30 cm).
Heat oven to 180C/Gas 4.
Melt the butter, cool for 5-6 min and then add the sugar, vanilla,eggs – beating until smooth.
Stir in the flour, cocoa and chocolate drops/chips.
Pour into the tray and bake for 35-45 minutes until a skewer comes out clean or nearly.
For the topping, Heat the butter and cater sugar together until melted.
Stir in the condensed milk and bring to the boil.
Cool for 5 minutes then stir in the 50g chocolate drops/chips to melt.
Leave to stand for 3-4 minutes and then spread over the COLD cake and scatter with the left over chocolate drops/chips
I also decided to make a Lemon Drizzle Tray Bake for those people who did not like chocolate or who wanted something to refresh their palates after fish and chips. I got the recipe from here. However, I decided to adapt the recipe slightly and add a whole lemon in to make it nice and sharp. (The lemon Drizzle tray bake is bottom of the four pictures) Both the tray bakes were a great success and everyone really liked them.
While baking in the afternoon, I decided that I would make another cake that could be auctioned off. I chose to make a chocolate chocolate cake recipe from Rachel Allen (in her 'Bake' book) that I have made a couple of time before. It is quite a light cake, as it has bicarbonate of soda and baking powder in it. You can get the recipe here from the Good Food Channel.(It is the third picture above) In total, my cake's raised £10 for Scope. Stuart and I also did a 'How Many Skittles in the Jar' (see top picture) which raised another £10 for Scope. Every little bit helps, as the saying goes!
Good Luck to Mark Webber in the Hungarian F1 Grand Prix this weekend. Lets hope for another win after the German Grand Prix! I may not be posting anything next week, as I have come down with Swine Flu, that seems to be sweeping the nation at the moment. I am alright but not up much cooking. Normal service should resume shortly.
Happy Cooking!

Morris Embraces International Students
Posted by Jenna Ray on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2013
Since the University of Minnesota, Morris Strategic Planning Task Force set a goal in 2006 to increase the institution's international student population, the number of international students at Morris has risen from one to over nine percent. At Morris, these students enjoy a safe and vibrant environment where they can focus on their studies and take part in a variety of co-curricular activities. With support from the campus community, they excel academically and enjoy rich experiences while living and learning in the United States.
Morris's 176 international students hail from 15 countries, including Russia, Malaysia, Nigeria, and more. The majority of these students (145) are from China, and 120 have completed a year of study at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (SUFE). According to Pilar Blanco Eble, assistant director of the International Student Program, this number of Chinese students within the international student body mirrors national trends.
Eble asserts that international students are generally attracted to the excellent academics, small size, and safety offered by Morris. Affordable tuition is an added attraction, since international students are subject to the same tuition rate as domestic students. Eble argues that the institution's added value lies in its liberal arts curriculum, since this model is not typically offered in Chinese universities, where teachers and students emphasize major coursework instead.
In order to help international students "take advantage of all Morris has to offer," Eble and the International Student Program implement cultural programming as well as a mandatory international-student orientation. In addition to this week-long mandatory orientation, the program also provides the Summer Transition for English Language and Liberal Arts Readiness (STELLAR) program, which aims to prepare students for success by providing a strong foundation in academic English. Program participants receive intensive English and liberal-arts instruction and take part in cultural enrichment opportunities.
Prior to entering the STELLAR program, students report anxiety regarding classroom English and academic success as well as making friends and adjusting to cultural differences. According to Eble, the purpose of the program is to provide students the tools they need to overcome these fears and enjoy the things they anticipate: new friends, culture, and environment, studies and major, development, and more.
A graduate of the 2013 STELLAR program, Yuntuo Wang (Tracy) '17 Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, came to Morris this summer after completing a year of studies at SUFE. Like many of his American and international peers, he hopes to excel academically and immerse himself in campus life throughout the coming year.
"I love America, and I love the quiet environment," he says. "I hope I can join the school committee and get good grades." He looks forward to activities like basketball games and dancing as well.
This desire for a well-rounded undergraduate experience is precisely what Eble and others hope international students gain from their Morris careers, and according to Chancellor Jacqueline R. Johnson, these students also have a lot to offer during their time here.
"The students in our International Student Program are as diverse as their American counterparts," she says. "They bring with them a broad spectrum of talent, interests, personalities, and dispositions. And they contribute to the extraordinary diversity of this community."
Having completed the STELLAR program on August 14, incoming international students are now attending their first fall semester classes. Additional information on the International Student and STELLAR programs is available online.

China orders cutback on TV entertainment
BEIJING (Reuters) - China will limit the number of entertainment programs allowed to air on television, from match-making game shows to dance broadcasts, and push to replace them with morality-building programing, Chinese media reported on Tuesday.
China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television starting next year will restrict shows that "record the dark and gloomy side of society," the Southern Metropolis Daily said.
"For every satellite TV station, no more than two entertainment programs can be aired during prime time from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. every night," the paper said, citing a directive from the national broadcasting watchdog.
Instead, the newspaper said, the extra time slots would be filled with programs that "promote harmony, health and mainstream culture."
The official Xinhua news agency said the directive aimed to guard against "excessive entertainment" by restricting game shows, talk shows, talents shows, and reality shows, among other types of programing.
At least two hours of news would have to be broadcast during the last six hours of the day on 34 stations, Xinhua said.
A notice of the announcement was not available on the agency's website and telephone calls by Reuters went unanswered.
Chinese media reported in September that the watchdog had asked provincial television stations to limit certain types of broadcasts and boost production of shows about housekeeping and ethics, but the industry was waiting for formal notification.
In September, the agency ordered a popular television talent show akin to American Idol, Super Girl, off the air for a year after it exceeded broadcasting time limits. It has also recently reiterated its ban on sex-related television and radio advertisements, such as ads for breast enlargement surgery. Continued...

Plenty of ports and good image quality, but it isn't perfect by any means
As world-first claims go, raising the response time bar from 2ms to 1ms isn't exactly life altering. Thankfully, the VX2739wm is exactly the kind of monitor to appeal to those for whom 1ms is worth shouting about.
For a start, it's well equipped, with HDMI, DVI and D-SUB inputs alongside a four-port USB hub. If you're not using HDMI there's a 3.5mm audio input to supply the 2W SRS speakers, and their volume was impressive, albeit with little bass and a rather tinny sound.
The size is the real draw, though, with a 27in diagonal and a 1920 x 1080 resolution making it a versatile beast. We've had few issues with 2ms monitors in the past, so it wasn't a surprise that this 1ms panel aced our response time tests. It's far from the most important feature on a monitor these days.
What is important is image quality, and here the ViewSonic does reasonably well. Our test clips had plenty of detail and accurate colours, and the 300cd/m2 brightness makes for a strong white level and an even backlight. Gradients were smooth and, once we'd lowered the contrast, evenly distributed from black to white.
But there were weaknesses. The backlight has a cold tinge and bleeds noticeably at the top and bottom edges, which can be distracting during films. And colours just don't have much punch to them; the TN panel gives a picture that's watchable but doesn't compare to a half-decent IPS or PVA screen. The stand also only tilts.
You're paying only $638 for the VX2739wm, though, which goes some way to make up for that, and it has the feature list to appeal to gamers and video junkies.
If a big screen for those purposes is what you're after, it's certainly worth spending the extra. But as a PC monitor first and foremost, it's hard not to conclude you'd be better off spending less to buy a top-quality 24in monitor instead.

So, I passed along this little guy to someone else to have for some indoor flying fun over the past winter, but I managed to get myself a replacement Champ from someone here on RCG. It was upgraded to brushless and AS3X. It's a great little plane!!! I can take it out to the field as backup for when we get nasty crosswinds. When I don't really want to fight the crosswind with my larger planes, I just toss this one up in the air no problem. I've had it in 10mph winds with no issue at all. Loads of fun!!! If you are looking for a project and have a 1S champ laying around, find someone's old UMX Beast 3D AS3X brick and motor, and do an upgrade!

"In a concession to the knowledge that some users can't or won't adjust to what is, to put it bluntly, a much easier and faster way of working with your documents, this can be turned off."
And the Dvorak keyboard layout is, in tests, a faster way of typing.
But if you're a busy person with a pile of stuff to do you're going to resent like crazy someone swapping out the Qwerty keyboard on which you're proficient and sending you back to square one, making you frustrated and inefficient.
In my last job I had colleagues who worked all day in Excel creating spreadsheet models... after years of doing this they could put together complex spreadsheets at breakneck speed - kind of amazing to watch, they knew countless cutesy time-saving tricks. But give them the ribbon bar and they were really struggling (my employer stopped the rollout).
So great, I'm sure it makes life easier for casual users who've never bothered to learn all the tricks of the old UI. And this is probably 95% of Office buyers. But a change that makes life worse for your hardcore power users who live and breathe Excel can't be good, surely?
Thankfully MS have now made this 'concession' - I'm surprised it's taken so long.
I look forward to this coming to Microsoft's Home User Program. I paid £9 for my current copy of Mac Office 2008 (and hate it).
Will have to see if my sister can pick this up for me from software4students when it gets released. Have to say this is one of the best scores I've seen for a piece of software (or hardware) on TR, and makes me want to get a copy for my Mac.
Can't help thinking that Entourage users have been royally screwed by Microsoft's decision to move the application out of the Home & Student Edition and only include it in the Business Edition.
Irrespective of the target audience for a Microsoft email client for OS X, or the merits of Entourage/Outlook vs. Mail.app, Thunderbird, etc., if you bought Office:Mac 2008 Home & Student Edition sporting the 'Free Upgrade to 2011' sticker, and assumed that this means ALL the applications in your Office suite would be upgraded, then you're in for a nasty surprise.
Incidentally, my understanding is that when you install Office 2011 it searches out and removes any previous version of Office. For the unwary this means that their email client could actually get hosed?
Office 2010 was similarly accoladed. Andy and I both think that the respective suites are the pinnacle of their art (so to speak) on their respective platforms and that sounds like 10/10 to me :)
I live and breath Excel all day at work and can only wish that we actually got 2010 at work as opposed to 2000 which I'm stuck with.
All of the old keyboard shortcuts still work fine and that's what real power users use. It's not often that I use the mouse to do anything so whatever UI is at the top of the screen is fairly irrelevant.
Personally I like the ribbon but if I didn't I wouldn't need it too much. And the new functionality more than makes up for it IMHO.
Started to reply detailing the specific UI changes that threw grit in the cogs of our Excel development, but found it a tedious list even by my standards and abandoned it!
At the end of the day, you get on with the new UI, as do the majority of users - not surprising as that's the sort of data MS get back from their usability testing.
The problem for the minority is having the new UI *imposed* on them, which is why I celebrate the fact it's a choice in this release.
No doubt, Outlook 2011 provides new kind of experience at Mac machine like unified inbox, social engagement, attractive GUI and calender. But you can face some kind of issues with Apple Script that can affect its compatibility with inbuilt plug-in.
There's no way that Office for Mac deserves top marks. There's no way that Office deserves top marks in any form, and the Mac version is hobbled and flakey in various directions. I've found the whole move to Mac really disappointing after all the hype, and the only thing keeping me on Mac is the sheer horror of Windows 8.
Outlook is without doubt much better than Apple's Mail and Calendar programs, especially for business use, but it's very disappointing to keep finding basic functionality disabled or just dysfunctional on the Mac version. For a trivial example, address fields in contacts are horrendous to edit, and the 'Details' (birthdays, PA, etc) and 'Organisation' tabs don't work at all, meaning that any detail brought over in these tabs from a PC will be lost.
Powerpoint seems to work fine but compatibility is often an issue when you move the output between Mac and PC - things jump around, fonts change etc. This makes me very nervous when somebody asks me to send my presentation in advance and I know it's going on to a PC.
I've not had many problems with Word or Excel, but Word isn't great in any guise - so much functionality, so many basic flaws (Oh, why has the font just gone back to Times New Roman? And why am I back to US Spelling yet again despite having changed the default 100 times, most recently two minutes ago? And why don't these bullets line up with the ones above? And why has half my table disappeared off the bottom of the page? etc).
Excel is great unless you want to use plug-ins like PowerPivot, which don't exist for Mac.
So, as with so many things Apple and Microsoft, we're all going to buy it and we all have to live with it. But a 10/10 it is not.
Hi Matt
This is quite an old review and I think the reviewer was essentially scoring it comparative to whatever else was on offer for Mac in 2011.
Yes, but it is still widely on sale in this version at March 2014, and the issues I describe continue to apply.
I see where you're coming from. It's a tricky one from our end as we tend to leave scores once we've reviewed a product unless it's service based e.g. Netflix etc. Otherwise we'd be going back and changing the score of old products (e.g. for the original iPad) because by today's tablet standards it's rubbish...
It's good that you've highlighted this in the comments though. It means people thinking of purchasing this now can think twice.
I'm not expecting that you should change the score! Thank you for even contemplating doing so in response to a reader's views, but that would not be appropriate. You have to score it as you find it, and certainly shouldn't change anything retrospectively. I'm just adding my tuppenceworth.

Siding Options Vinyl vs. Fiber Cement
I am building a new house. I can get a good deal on the James Hardy fiber cement siding. I really do not like the look of vinyl or how it trim out around windows, however I have heard that the fiber cement siding will show more wall imperfections than the vinyl. I am also considering aluminum siding but I doubt there is enough value vs. added costs.
So I am leaning towards the fiber cement. Anyone had any negative experiences with this regarding final look or maintenance. Thanks
This may all come down to a matter of personal taste. Personally, I see Fiber Cement siding as a superior product when compared to vinyl siding, for several reasons.
Just my 2 cents worth.
I went with vinyl last year i didn't know that hardi came prepainted in different colors from manufacturer. If i would have known that i would have went with it. I say hardi all the way.
I should probably just leave my 2 cents worth (above) and let others voice their opinions, but since installing vinyl on my home 10 years ago I have been an UNhappy camper. Regardless of the quality of vinyl siding, you cannot escape the seams, the expansion/contraction factor, the need for occasional cleaning, and the myriad of insects living between the vinyl and the exterior wall boards.
This product (vinyl) is extremely popular due to cost and/or installation ease. Entire subdivisions now show off their look-alike sidings. Certainly less maintenance than painted surfaces and great for cover-up applications over weathered and deteriorating siding ... but that's about the end of the "positives" ...... (IMHO).
Hardi plank is a far superior product in my book trimmed out with azek. I guess the downfall is the caulking recomendations for the expansion gaps but if prepainted boards and colored caulking I feel the hardi plank is the right choice in my opinion.
two cents from someone COMPLETELY clueless ;)
I am redoing the entire exterior of my house, windows, doors, siding, and roof. I am a noob to this whole remodeling business (so who knows why I bought a fixer upper anyway? oh... price tag...) but in my research, the fiber cement siding seems to be a much better deal in every way possible but the price tag. We have aluminum siding on the house right now and as a result, the house looks even junkier than it is. I will pay more for fiber cement and do my part for the environment than put vinyl on my house.
not a big fan of the standard fiber cement panels,too small of a panel projection reminds me of the old asbestos siding,there are thicker fc products out there that more closely resemble wood siding but are considerably more expensive,as far as material i don't see a big difference why it is better than vinyl...different not better
WE just went with hardi. Easy to work with but man is that stuff heavy.
Consider this.....white vinyl siding reflecks heat in the summer, goes up quick, last a very long time, just don't nail up tight, and can be installed with insulating backer boards, even helps to keep siding from getting wavy (a problem with vinyl) . If you have any outside wall plumbing, you can remove vinyl siding much quicker for repairs, instead of tearing out cabinets, or ceramic tile for the repair. What state do you live in?
Vinyl looks like crap when its fresh and doesn't age well.
well that's just in your limited opinion but i'll give you the ageing well part,that's mostly because people have been told it maintenance free but there is no such thing with any siding product
199 Attachment(s)
Remember the days were things weren't covered in plastic and cement?
Don't be disillusioned that Vinyl or Hardi are forever or maintenance free.
I like Wood, it has character and sometimes even personality that you'll never get with today's alternatives IMO.

Looks great Tom.:thumbsup:

I've installed many types of siding, but I put vinyl on my own home. Price was a big consideration, but moreso, value for my dollar.
All siding products have positives and negatives. Personally, I don't find vinyl all that offensive.

Good very good...
BUT! Like the one guy said you should have a bar for both abilites. And the whole part about them turning around that happens so what learn to hide better. Also the gaurds guns are WAY TOO ACCURATE. I was running dignal and sideways and they always hit me even if the bullets seemed to miss its like they snapped to me or something. Killing the guards would be a nice toucha and if you do make it able for you to kill the guards make it if another guard find the dead guards they raise the alarm. TWO MORE. One make the gaurds not so stupid they only look in one place and never follow your steps and they run in circles. TWO MAKE THEM FOLLOW YOUR STEPS!! It would be more of a challange yes but also funner (I KNOW ITS NOT A WORD!)

Belle Epoque
Gerechtigkeitsgasse 18, 3011 Berne, Bern
0.6 km from
Rp 2,184,667+
I myself am in the hospitality sector, and my expectaions on a hotel on one of the main streets of Bern were the "regular touristic stuff", however the two concierges I dealt with, the front desk personel and the rest of the staff were more than friendly and helpful all the time.. For example, when we went to have breakfast 5 minutes after the buffet was supposed to close they did all for us to enjoy our teas ans latte capuccini as well as the full buffet (excellent pancakes and also the parmiggianio was great).
Really nice place, extremely kind staff.
upon arrival they had a very nice and amusing jazz concert...good music and very nice "ambiance"...
everything - Actually, we think you have under-rated the hotel in your website. it is fantastic and the staff are all very friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Hotel has great ambiance and location is great!!!
I had visited the hotel in the 90s when it was a bijoux of beautiful original art nouveau antiques. Now it is ugly and full of second rate flea market objects. What a disappointment!
Wireless LAN The rooms I was in was a bit oldfashioned, and not suited for the business traveller (very small table to work on)
The Sunday evening concert
The staff was very friendly & they upgraded us to a suite which was lovely
I enjoyed the good service and the friendly staff. However, the hotel is quite small with smallish rooms and a small stairway. The lift was useful to get the luggage up. The double glazed windows were needed to keep the street noise down. The room air became stuffy overnight. I liked the Art Deco room decor. Breakfast was expensive, but so was everything in Switzerland.
Proximity (5-10 mins walk) to all major Old Town attractions, shopping and transport as well as charming attempt at the true Belle Epoque style felt throughout the hotel and the rooms. Also a bowl of fruit and a welcome hand-written note from the owners was a nice touch. There is a nice and relaxed restaurant on the ground floor/terrace level which is very pleasant for a quiet coffee in the morning or late dinner/drinks in the evening. It is a boutique-style Old Town hotel but it does feel a little "tired" and is edging more towards the 3* rather than 4* hotel. Facilities are very basic, as is a very expensive (CFR 21) buffet breakfast and room cleaning service leaves a lot to be desired for. Room prices are comparable to other 4*-5* hotels in Bern but offer very poor value for money.
Friendly staff and good location Only one person of staff was working at reception and restaurant (at the same time)
Nice location in centre of Bern. Warm welcome, good room. The bar of the breakfast is not the best.
Friendly staff
Good location in Bern Downtown.. Rooms are clean... The hotel is located in a nice area in downtown..
Very central, could catch a bus from railway station, could walk everywhere while in the city No fridge, no lift, very basic
perfect location, friendly personnel, rooms are clean, free WiFi in rooms
nice staff, nice atmosphere and the rooms were comfortable
It was centrally located. The hotel was not value for money. For the money we paid I would have expected better service and better accommodation.
Very old room, bath room looks clean, but found cockrocahs on the wall and on the room table. WiFi did not work. Dust in the closet.
The location and the price Guests going to bed late and very noisy. It could have been a one-off but someone managed to open the door the door to my room after midnight giving me an almighty fright (I was asleep) although they apologised. Why did their key work???????

2008 X5 Trailer Hitch
After reading and checking into the options for Trailer Hitches I bought a DrawTite hitch and just installed it on our X5. I was impressed with the quality and fit.
The instructions on Etrailer.com were helpful although they were filmed on a 2011 and the 2008 did have a couple unique things that added a little time.
The black rubber bolt covers that hide the bumper mount bolts had to be shortened about 1/8 inch each, I cut mine on my cut off saw.
I did not have the custom Pop rivet tool to install the plastic pop rivets in the fender skirt so I used pliers while holding the pop rivet in place with a trim tool. It took two people one to hold pressure on the rivet to hold it in place with the trim tool while the other pulled on the pliers to expand the pop rivet, these pop rivets expand and tighen your trim strip as you pull on the pop rivet till it snaps off. No big deal at all. We put all 6 in place in about 2 minutes. The hitch looks good on the car. I have not towed yet but I did haul 1,500 pounds inside the car and was impressed with the auto ride adjustments and how well the car handled with the weight in the car. Ours is a 4.8L.

NOTE: To make shrimp stock, place shrimp heads and shells into a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain.
For the dough:
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Using the large holes of a hand grater, grate the butter into the mixing bowl with the flour mixture. Lightly blend the butter and flour mixture with your fingertips until the texture is like coarse cornmeal. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Add the ice water and blend until thoroughly incorporated. Form the dough into a ball and blend until thoroughly incorporated. Form the dough into a ball and place it on a floured cutting board.
Roll out the dough, adding flour as necessary, to 1/8-inch thick. Place an 8 ½ inch pie pan face down on the dough and cut the dough to fit the pan, leaving a border of about 1 inch.
Line the pan with the dough, trim the edges, and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the filling:
In an electric mixer with the wire whisk attachment, add the eggs and beat on high speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Add the sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, salt, and ground roasted pecans. Beat on medium speed until well blended. Stir in the pecan pieces.
Pour the filling into the pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake until the filling is browned on top and the crust is light golden brown, 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool at room temperature for 1 hour before serving. Serves 6-8.

CHICAGO - The Loyola University Chicago men and women's soccer teams received recognition for outstanding academic achievement as they were each honored by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) with the 2011-12 College Team Academic Award on Nov. 15.
Those teams who post a grade point average of 3.0 or higher earn the annual recognition, with 717 college soccer teams across all-divisions recognized this year. Loyola was one of two programs in the Horizon League to have both teams earn this accolade.
The women's team placed in the top 10 percent of the NSCAA women's teams honored, collecting a 3.52 grade point average, the second highest in the Horizon League behind UW-Milwaukee with a 3.56. On the men's side, the Ramblers topped the League, earning a 3.35.
Both teams concluded the 2012 campaign with bids to the Horizon League Tournament as they each finished sixth in the regular-season standings. The women's team garnered an 8-9-3 overall record while the men's team ended 5-12-2 overall.
