went to documenta a lot of street noise in my room window had to open due to warm weather
Pleasant, helpful staff. Excellent location for visiting Documenta.
location: nearby the city
Hotel staff not very helpful with the exception of one lady with glasses. I think it was because she had very good english. The hotel needs to be refurbished, very dated. Musty smell in room when we arrived.
Clean, quiet room. Nice breakfast buffet. Slow check-in but it was at a peak time.
The hotel is a star of 50's architecture, and contains a wonderful japanese lacquer style artwork, but makes a somewhat impression of ' glory lost'. Alas the rooms are converted away from that, and make a budget- class style impression, very sorry to see that Breakfast very expensive for what you get, eur 12,50 for a eur 7,00 value. coffee milk was off, so no coffee for me, although this must be an incident only
Breakfast Lift
Very spacious room, with a sofa in the corner which was cozy for reading (I came to Kassel to work in the archives). Good location for central Kassel. There was a lot of noise from the kitchen 2 nights in a row, although I got out of bed the one night to ask the man to be quiet. As they only serve breakfast, it was a puzzle to me why there needed to be much fuss in the kitchen, anyway, but in any case they should keep the noise down. You can hear the trams, too, though this didn't disturb me so much.
Nice location in the center of the city. Looks like a little bit old (old-fashioned hotel), which did not have rennovations for quite a while. At the same time, everything is quite standard, the room is big and it is an ideal place for a business visit.
The rooms are spacious and very clean. The bar area is not very comfortable and the range of drinks available not very good.

Finally, the Center staff advances funding and policies important to all those living with HIV, in California and nationally. Collectively, the Center provides 25,000 client visits a month in our 5 facilities and HIV and sexual health will remain one of our top priorities until this epidemic is over.

Does Total Fiber Intake Matter More Than The Fiber Source?
Focus on total fiber, not the source.
The Exceptions
Some fibers may prove better than others in the case of two specific health conditions.
To combat sky-scrapingly high "bad" cholesterol levels, Mark G., a psychologist who lives just outside of Boston, makes a bowl of oatmeal every morning using 3⁄4 cup old-fashioned oats. This provides 3 grams soluble fiber, the type that binds LDL "bad" cholesterol and prevents it from wreaking havoc in his blood vessels. Along with regular exercise and some weight loss, Mark's morning "medicine bowl" (a suggestion from his physician) has lowered his cholesterol by 40 points. Good choices of soluble fiber: barley, oatmeal, beans, peas, citrus fruits, pears, apples, strawberries and eggplant.
Insoluble fiber, which absorbs water and increases in bulk, helps move food through the gastrointestinal tract, helping prevent constipation. Good choices of insoluble fiber: most whole grains, such as whole-wheat bread and wheat bran, cabbage, beets, bananas, carrots, tomatoes and Brussels sprouts.

From that point on, it was not a matter of if, but how many as Watertown improved to 30-3 on the season.
The Tigers forced an incredible 20 turnovers in the first half, many leading to easy baskets as the standing room only was raising the roof.
This is an incredible moment for these kids, our school and this community, Bradshaw said in the aftermath. We made a big leap this year, but theres still more work to be done.
Watertown got double-digit scoring from three players -- Ty Jobe with 19 points, Macieo Gaines with 18 and 11 from Josiah Smith.
Grace Academy (12-16) was led by Brandon McQueen with 15 points.

What NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson has done is nothing short of amazing and his name is so cemented in history that you couldn't remove it with a chisel and hammer.
Winning five consecutive driving titles is a mind-boggling achievement. But has the driver's dominance taken the air out of the game?
When your name hangs with guys like Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty, both seven-time champions, you know you are breathing rare air.
But auto racing has changed since those days when the edge to Earnhardt and Petty seemed to rev up fans. Many believe that when Johnson is the flavor of the day that flavor is vanilla.
He doesn't get a nickname like the "King" or "Intimidator."
But he wins.
"They (Johnson and crew) have proven that they are able to win more races and championships than the rest," said Carl Edwards, who won Sunday's race. "We just have to figure out how ... they let the other guys make the mistakes."
The backers of Johnson just want to keep themselves in front.
'Now we're going for a six-pack," said Johnson's father Gary. "We need a beer sponsor."
So how do you feel about Johnson's dominance?
While we wait for the engines to cool, here is some good work by some good people that we might have missed while sleeping or wondering whether the Indianapolis Colts still have the magic.

Re: JLink error
the JLink uses MathLink which is a C-Library and the only real link to
Mathematica. Everthing in Java seems to use this connection.
When you start to use JLink it loads this JLinkNativeLibrary.dll library
through JNI, the java native interface
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Native_Interface) and this step
obviously fails.
You can have a look at the sources if it helps to understand. It is
in the file NativeLink.java.
What you have to do is to find out why java doesn't find this library
when it starts. You have this dll under the above mentioned path
but it should be installed globaly anyway.
This is the plan and the information I can provide. The rest is up to
you since it is hard to guess what's wrong from here.
Maybe you should try first to place the JLinkNativeLibrary.dll directly
into the directory of your application if you use Windoze.
Good Look.

Letters To The Editor
February 24, 2010 - MidWeek
Be like BART
The planned Honolulu mass transit system serves the area and people from Ewa to the university. While all of Honolulu county will pay, they will receive no benefit. By all accounts, the traffic lessening and shorter commute times will only affect the areas getting transit.
Other metropolitan areas in the country had the foresight to establish transit districts based on ZIP codes - such as the BART system in the San Francisco area. The transit districts were set up to assure that those within a county who would not be served by the transit system would not have to help pay for it. Anyone beyond 15 miles of a proposed station was excluded from the district. As BART grew and stations were added, the district grew to include some of these areas that were excluded earlier.
This would be particularly applicable for a large county such as Honolulu. Why should Kaneohe, Kailua, Hawaii Kai and other areas not served pay for a transit that only benefits others?
Paul Miller
Poor city planning
In response to Bill Brennan's letter, Mayor Mufi's regime has lacked transparency from the very beginning, and he continues to stand on his soapbox proclaiming to know what is best for all people. The records show how much he has spent of the taxpayers' money to push his propaganda to convince the FTA and Hawaii that we need, must have and should not wait to have this financial burden strapped on our shoulders forever.
Our governor is not anti-rail, Mr. Brennan, she is realistic about the conditions we are living in and is looking out for the welfare of the majority. I appreciate that and applaud her courage to speak out on our behalf. I'm sorry for the people who live in West Oahu, but the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of our city government for poor planning and uncontrolled over development. As the discussion on traffic continues, so does the development of more homes. It appears contradictory to talk about fixing a problem with one hand and feeding it with the other.
As the smoke screen clears, the truth is beginning to show. It is time we demand honest government free of self-serving individuals and special interest groups.
Leona Pereza, MSW
Permit for bombs?
All the news we hear every day on the fireworks ban is all "baloney." The majority of our so caring lawmakers do not have the guts or courage to ban this insanity, yet they come up with suggestions to raise the fees on permits. What a joke. And who needs permits to blow illegal concussion bombs or any other illegal fireworks? It's free and unenforceable.
Oahu is the one island that needs a complete ban so badly. These lawmakers are the culprits responsible for all the injuries that happen every year, and they don't seem to care. Yet these useless fireworks pollute our air and cause serious injuries, not to mention the danger our firefighters face when they have to put out brush fires and risk their lives.
To all you lawmakers: Wake up before it's too late to say you're sorry. You are responsible, so get your act together or get out of office.

Sleep benefits
I'm no fan of Ariana Huffington - too liberal - but thank you for publishing her column on the importance of getting enough sleep on everything from health to job performance to emotional stability. In this case, I agree completely.
Just wondering: Now that Ms. Huffington is getting more sleep, might her thinking improve enough to come back to the conservative side?

Paul Miller, the whole island of Oahu is considered Honolulu County. Do you know that 100% of Honolulu garbage and trash ends up in the Leeward area? All the construction garbage the same. All the smelly trucks, hundreds of them, end up driving on this side of the island. What about Kahe Electric plant? Do you know that it burns fuel to provide you with electric for a/c ,internet, light etc..Do you smell the fuel burning. What about all the oil being processed at Campbell Industrial park?? Maybe a user fee should be charged to all areas that are free of these slights. Until you drive the H2/H1 freeway in the Kapolei to Honolulu area, you have no idea. So hows about being neighborly and pay your share. Otherwise keep your trash and make your own electric.

Tallmadge -- Two patient cots that are designed to be easier on the bodies of emergency responders have been installed in two separate Tallmadge Fire Department ambulances.
Fire/medic Ben Stasik demonstrated one of the two power-load cot systems to some members of City Council Thursday.
The cot systems, which can hold up to 700 pounds each, help to ease the strain on the backs of emergency services workers while lifting patients into an ambulance. The hydraulic systems are fully automated and don't require manual lifting of the regular cots that attach.
"After consulting with the BWC's [Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation's] ergonomics specialists, it was determined that these systems would eliminate over 4,800 manual cot lifts per year. The intent is to reduce injuries and musculoskeletal stressors for firefighters," Fire Chief Pat Gaffney said.
The total cost of buying and installing the cot systems was $91,555.52, paid for with a $40,000 grant from the BWC and $51,555.52 in matching funds from the city's capital improvement fund.
Although the third cot, donated by Akron General Medical Center, doesn't have a hydraulic load system, it does have a power design.
The hospital is the medical advisory facility for the fire department, which paramedics contact for medical advice and support when treating patients, according to Mayor Dave Kline.
Gaffney said the fire department is considering buying a new ambulance next year and would like to install the donated power cot with a power load system that the fire department would buy.
Watch the video to the right of your screen to see how the cots work.

Re: Look at this Cadillac Ciel Sedan
Whatev. Not w/o good reason...
IF Omega happens, they won't have the balls to make it look like the Ciel. And they'll puss out of making a proper coupe that doesn't look like an Infiniti G.
It will look like a bigger version of whatever the next CTS looks like. (Probably the ATS' big, big brother...)
I will restate here, however, that even though the sedan is great -- that coupe above would shake the foundation of the Earth if it ever did happen...it is that awesome...
(Of course, they basically copied the proportions of the Bentley Brooklands...which, of course, is all anyone would need to do...)

Re: Look at this Cadillac Ciel Sedan
The biggest challenge in making the Ciel a reality appears to be the headlights. Otherwise, the car appears to be good to go. They really should make this happen. It is universally loved. I think even more so than the Cadillac Sixteen was...Have an iPhone or Android? Then you can be connected with everything automotive in your area.

The Oh-May-Ga is coming.....
Re: Look at this Cadillac Ciel Sedan
Now that is just amazing! Both the 4 door and coupe look bad ass! See, we all here can agree on how gorgeous looking the Ciel is, yet Cadillac still for some reason doesn't at least try to pursue this design or a possible production version. Cadillac's main guy or GM's CEO needs to seriously green light this project for production.
I mean why would Cadillac bother with making wonderful concept cars, if they didn't consider actually building a production model? The Sixteen was great, but we all knew that the company would never truly make one for the public, since nobody at the top seems to take risks. I believe it's the culture of GM, there's too much control at all levels of the corporation. I bet you have 10 guys at the top management that would love to build the Ciel and would have the process move forward, but 3 others that are above them that will never even consider it.
As of now, no auto maker has built or designed a luxury car that truly truly stands out, Cadillac is playing it too safe IMO.
I really like the styling of the 2012 Jaguar XJL sedan. It's actually nice size car and looks different that most cars on the road today, what's great about it is the long wheelbase version rated at 124 inches for a smooth comfortable ride. It has a V8 in it, and the car is priced in the $65,000 range. Cadillac could easily build the Ciel with a V8, price it in the $60,000 to $80,000 price point. I think it would easily sell more cars then a BMW, Lexus, Benz, and the Jag just based off the styling alone!
The Europeans got it right, while GM and Ford have become wussies of late. I mean if some wealthy European walked into a Cadillac dealership and asked the salesman straight out if they had full size RWD car with a V8 in it, they would have no answer for the man, that customer would most likely be in shock knowing that he expected Caddy to at least have one Full sizer to offer customers like himself being how big Cadillac cars used to be. The man would just walk out of the dealership disappointed and head straight over to the nearest German luxury brand dealer to buy what he wants and expects from real luxury auto makers..

Re: Look at this Cadillac Ciel Sedan
Man those are smoken hot, easily the best looking design for a full size car out there right now. That means GM will not build it just like the Sixteen.
If I had the money there is no question I would get one of those, it has been a very long time since I got excited by a car.
Who or what was the source for the drawings? GM or a independent designer?

Re: Look at this Cadillac Ciel Sedan
Hello Katie
I think I read someplace that a GM exec said they did not believe they had an engine to match the amazing looks of the Ciel ready to go. I believe just the opposite.
If this beast was designed to utilize the LS series engines then you have a huge assortment of some of the best engines ever created ready to go. This could give you a more pedestrian model or V models. GM already makes the worlds best components on everything else from the Magna powder steering to the magnetic ride shocks and transmissions so except for a viable chassis, GM is not lacking much. The Corvette and Escalade pretty much support the business case of using an LS engine.
I am old school and dont really have a requirement for a DOHC V8. What I look for in a car like this are the following. Most other people who can afford a car in the DTS range that I know are the same.
Long term reliability
Here is to hoping Cadillac gets back to building true masterpieces.

LUXEMBOURG – Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, Europe's longest-serving leader, Wednesday said he would step down over a scandal involving the secret services, who were alleged to have indulged in a spate of misconduct on his watch.
After his junior coalition partner, the Socialists, put down a motion calling for the dissolution of Parliament and early elections, Juncker said he would hand in his resignation to the head of state on Thursday morning after a Cabinet meeting.
"There was no other choice than to hand in the government's resignation," said Juncker.
Though aged only 58, Juncker has been in office for 18 years and in government for 30. He is best known in Europe for a tumultuous eight-year stint as head of the eurozone finance ministers group, which ended in January.
In a rare political drama in tiny uneventful Luxembourg, the Parliament examined a report alleging that the country's SREL secret service, which the premier is supposed to oversee, had indulged in a series of misdemeanors from 2003 to 2009 that included illegal phone taps, corruption, and even a dodgy car dealership.
"The intelligence service was not my top priority," Juncker told Parliament earlier Wednesday. "Moreover I hope Luxembourg will never have a prime minister who sees SREL as (a) priority."
Socialist leader Alex Bodry said he expected "a strong gesture" from Juncker but feared he had "chosen another option."
"When one thinks one is infallible it's hard to admit to making mistakes," he said.
"The prime minister has to take responsibility not because he is dishonest or incompetent but because he made bad choices," Bodry later told Parliament.
The report was put together by a parliamentary committee after a Luxembourg weekly last year published verbatim a secretly taped conversation in 2007 between Juncker and the then head of SREL, Marco Mille.
In the recorded conversation, Mille revealed that his staff had also secretly taped a conversation with Luxembourg's grand duke and that the sovereign was in regular contact with Britain's MI6. But the parliamentary inquiry set up in the furor that ensued uncovered more dirt: the existence of 13,000 secret files on people and businesses, illegal wiretaps on business leaders, a counterterrorism operation that in fact was a front to help a Russian oligarch pay $10 million to a Spanish spy, and even a murky private dealership in luxury cars.
Juncker last month survived the duchy's first confidence vote in 150 years over a separate scandal. The last confidence motion in Luxembourg was in 1848 and led to the fall of the government.
A fixture on the European scene and a passionate defender of the euro and the European dream, Juncker steered a tricky path during the financial crisis between the bloc's top two economies, France and Germany, who often held sharply differing views.
"When I want to speak in French, I think in German; when I want to speak in German, I think in French, with the result that I am totally incomprehensible," he joked typically at one stage.
Throughout his career, he was never afraid to speak out. He has "two fatal flaws — he has an opinion and he is not afraid to share it," one official said.

Men's Tennis Hosts No. 1 Ohio State, Morehead State on Wednesday
April 8, 2014
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The No. 14 University of Kentucky men's tennis team will host the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes and the Morehead State Eagles on Wednesday afternoon in a non-conference doubleheader at the Hilary J. Boone Varsity Tennis Center in Lexington, Ky. UK will square off with the No. 1 Buckeyes at 2 p.m. ET, and the Morehead State match will start at 7 p.m. ET.
"This is another good test for the boys," UK head coach Cedric Kauffmann said in advance of Wednesday's matches with OSU and MSU. "I expect us to play our best match this season tomorrow afternoon. All three doubles and all six singles positions need to step up to win this match. It will be difficult, but we can do it."
This will be the second time this season that the Wildcats and Buckeyes have squared off this season, with Ohio State, ranked No. 5 at the time, knocked off the then-No. 17 Wildcats in Columbus, 4-0.
Kentucky comes into Wednesday's doubleheader fresh off of a 4-2 win over No. 26 Vanderbilt to improve to 8-2 in Southeastern Conference action this season, and with the win, clinched a double-bye in the 2014 Southeastern Conference Tournament Championship to be held in Nashville, Tenn., April 16-20.
UK, who remained at No. 14 in this week's Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings, is 16-7 overall on the season, and has already collected two top-10 wins this season, knocking off No. 7 Duke and No. 8 Texas A&M earlier this season.
In singles, Kentucky continues to have three ranked players in its lineup, with the top-ranked player on the team being No. 13 Tom Jomby. The senior from Nantes, France has lost just a handful of matches this season, playing the No. 1 singles position for the entirety of the season. In singles, Jomby is expected to go up against No. 9 Peter Kobelt on the first court.
Also in singles, Kentucky will boast No. 95 Alejandro Gomez, who is projected to play No. 2 singles, and then No. 113, Beck Pennington, who will play at the No. 3 singles position.
For Ohio State, the Buckeyes singles lineup features four ranked players, topped by Kobelt, at No. 9 nationally in singles. Also ranked for OSU is Herkko Pollanen at No. 74, Hunter Callahan at No. 109, and Kevin Metka at No. 124.
Kentucky's match with Morehead State will start at 7 p.m. ET at the Hilary J. Boone Varsity Tennis Center.

Welcome ... look forward to your post's....

Welcome ... look forward to your post's....
I'm sure the book is well written and all that, however when I do web searches for the term "America's Gun" as applied to Glock the only thing I find is references to Mr. Barrett's book.
At any rate I'll be looking forward to "Toyota: the Rise of America's Car" in the near future.
I plead guilty to spreading the idea that GLOCK is "America's Gun." It is interesting that some otherwise very sophisticated gun owners, bloggers, forum participants resist the idea. GLOCK is American in precisely the same way that Toyota is American. Both foreign manufacturers came out with reliable products that get the job done. They captured the imagination of American consumers. By doing so, they became global powerhouses. And now both of them make their products (or some of them) in this country. Glock is manufacturing pistols in Smyrna, Ga., and stamping them "Made in the U.S." Glock took the process one step further, becoming a true icon of American popular culture (in movies, on television, in the lyrics of our dominant popular music, Lord help us, rap). These are the issues I examine closely in GLOCK: The Rise of America's Gun.
Thanks much for your interest in the book, and I look forward to continuing the conversation!
All best,
Paul Barrett
Do you happen to cover how glock became America's gun? Like the dumping of weapons and support to LEO's and the giving of grossly overvalues for trade ins on exsisting weapons.
While it's no secret that I hate glock's I do have to applaud their marketing strategy. Fabricate a need then fill it.
Glock is not so good. My friend, who knows literally everything about guns, says it's reallll ez to shoot yourself in the leg or foot with a Glock if you're not being careful and also they sometimes explode for no reason.
I think I'll read the book first and then comment on it...
I'm thankful for global competition. Fierce competition brings ever-improving products to market, which is good for consumers. You may not like foreign competitors, but if it wasn't for them, we'd probably still have the AMC Gremlin and the Ford Pinto instead of the vastly improved automobiles that we have today.
I'm seriously doubting that a modern, high capacity, lightweight, easy to maintain, reliable pistol that is available in every service caliber was a "fabricated need." YOU might not need such a thing, but I'll be damned if I'd go back to lugging a low capacity boat anchor around if I didn't have to.
I have to vote that the AR 15/M 16/M4 family of weapons are much more deserving of the title of "America's Gun".
There are more than 8 million of these weapons issued world wide as opposed to 2 ~ 4 million Glocks. I
My first thought was that the M1911 Colt was America's gun... :33:
But when I look around, I DO see a lot of GLOCKS everywhere as of late... :blink:
More so than our beloved "Old Slab Sides" which I dearly love and cherish... :yup:
WHODATHUNK that this ugly gun would have come this far, this fast...DUH??? :thk:
Whether or not you're a Glock fan, the book may still prove to be an interesting read.
I like what DoctorBob said:
I think I'll read the book first and then comment on it...
I just ordered the book.
My History with Glock.
Upon retiring from the USMC in 1970 I was a 1911 fan. My first purchase on becoming retired was a Colt Satin Chrome Combat Commander in .45 ACP. This gun served as my BUG and Off duty firearm for several years. I still have that Colt.
Fast forward to 1987.
IN 1987 I was working as staff of the SOF convention in Las Vegas when the Glock Rep, I believe his name was (McNally) gave a demo of the Glock 17 and an armor's course.
When the convention was over I went to the local gun store, that rented handguns and began badgering the owner to get a Glock in so that I could test it.
Several weeks later, while at the store, a security/bodyguard for one of the large casinos came into the store and I was given a chance to shoot his Glock 17. Taking 15 rounds out of a wooden barrel of mixed 9mm hardball ammo, that was kept for use in their rental subguns, I ran the target out to 15 yards on their indoor range and commenced to shoot the Glock 17.
Bringing the target back to the shooting booth I noticed that I had shot 15 X's on a b27 silhouette target. This was with a gun that I had never shot before and with mixed hardball ammo.
I went back into the store and made a trade of two Colt combat commanders for 2 Glock 17's.
I still have one or I should say my 35 years old son now has one of the original Glock 17's I purchased. with a very low 3 digit serial number. The other one was traded for a Glock 19
Throughout the years since 1987 my carry gun has been a Glock 17, a Glock 19 and a Glock 23.
I currently shoot IDPA with a Glock 35.
My daughter, a retired San Bernardino Calif Deputy Sheriff, talked me out of the first Glock 19 I had purchased, as her retirement gift.
I have never abandoned the 1911's but they have become my range/fun guns, and are in my EDC rotation on a lesser use then the Glocks.
If a disaster hits my area the two guns that will certainly be with me are my Glock handgun and my AK-47 rifle. I know that both will function reliable with very little maintenance. Which is important when cleaning supplies may be limited.
I'll be looking into this as of now.
Well, speaking from a purely defensive standpoint, you could always back it into somebody if you had too... :image035:Quote:
Like the Ford Pinto?
Same holds true for Glock KABOOMS!!
Just hand it off and run for cover... :theyareontome:

With limited help coming in through free agent, as the Mavs have so far been unable to land a big name by sign and trade, the current team is going to have to make major strides forward from within in order to take the next step going in to the 2010-2011 season. Assuming Dirk Nowitzki can maintain his current level of production, and management is obviously willing to bet 20 million a year he can, the Mavs should continue to be competitive in the West, though a true championship contending team has eluded the city of Dallas since 05-06. Here are a few ways the Mavericks might could make a play to advance further in the playoffs, all without acquiring any more players this off-season.Use Tyson Chandler Appropriately This is the Mavericks lone big acquisition (in terms of size and contract) for the summer, so the temptation is to throw him out there and see what he gives the group for 30 minutes a game despite his well documented injury concerns. If the Mavericks decide Chandler is really the answer this season (more on this later), it doesnt make sense to waste his best efforts in the regular season, when the current unit more or less has done fine on its own, securing a 2 seed last season. Dont limit him to over-the-hill Shaq numbers, after all hes only 27, but play him within reason until its time for a post-season push, ensuring he will be healthy and fresh when it matters most.Find Playing Time for Youth When teams cant acquire new talent, the best way to improve is by developing young assets. Following this logic, the Atlanta Hawks have improved from 37 to 53 over the last 2 seasons, relying largely on the progression of Josh Smith and Al Horford. The Mavs have young talent in the form of Rodrigue Beaubois and All-Summer League squad selection Dominique Jones. Getting them on the floor and into meaningful rotation roles may mean less time for Jason Terry and even some spelling of Kidd, but the current unit could use a youthful infusion at times.Wait for the Trade Deadline The beginning of the season is by no mean the end of the line for improving a teams roster. If Chandler isnt working out or is once again plagued by injury, his expiring contract will still prove attractive for a rebuilding team looking to free up cap room. An aging Caron Butler also has an expiring deal, and could prove to be a major piece in bringing a bigger contributor to the Mavs starting lineup next February.

Robbie Williams has admitted that he has a lot of fondness and a warm place in his heart for the lads of One Direction.
The Take That star performed with the boys when they competed on the X Factor final back in 2010 and has kept tabs on them ever since and he revealed that he loves following their progress and journey in the music industry, even if he is slightly envious of Harry Styles' luck with the ladies.
The Take The Crown hitmaker was chatting with the Daily Mail about the 'Little Things' singers, who are currently touring in America, and he was asked if he still sees the band as his young 'showbiz brothers.'
He replied:
"They are. I sang 'She's The One' with them on The X Factor, so I've seen various stages of their growth. And I've been a member of One Direction, as it were. So I like seeing how they're doing."
The new dad continued:
"Following Harry and his many romances and being slightly envious. Checking out their new tattoos and me showing them my new tattoos. I'm in the One Direction bad tattoo club. I have bad tattoos – so do they."
Robbie may have 'bad tattoos' as he puts it, but he thinks One Direction have made some much worse body art related decisions than him along the way and when asked who is winning the awful inkings competition he laughed:
"They're winning. They've got some horrendous ones."
Robbie joined Take That and found worldwide fame when he was just 16 years old, so it's easy to see why he relates to One Direction and this stage of their career.
Robbie wonders if they will run into some trouble though, as none of the band members seem to be as sensible as his pals Gary Barlow and Jason Orange. He thinks they're all as crazy as himself and Mark Owen and is sure that will lead to some 'hellish moments.'
Williams said:
"It seems as though there's no Jason Orange and Gary Barlow there to tell them off and give them, ironically, a bit of direction. It would seem that it's a band of Robbies and Marks. It's going to be fascinating to see what happens."
He added:
"You know, it's their journey. If they need my help I'll be there. But I'm sure they'll be fine. I'm sure there's going to be some miraculous moments and some hellish moments, but that's life."
Watch Robbie sing with one Direction and leave your comments below…

On Iraq
Taking a principled and consistent stance over Iraq has attracted much criticism from our detractors and opponents. But they couldn't ignore us. And the voters didn't either.
We should not prejudge the outcome of Lord Hutton's inquiry _ two things however are clear. The full legal advice of the attorney general at the time must now be published in full. And the case for that full-scale independent inquiry becomes stronger by the day.
On the government
Referring to Mr Blair's first "servants of the people" speech:
Good instincts. Great ideals and today tarnished for good. There's no more glad, confident morning for this shop-soiled Labour government. And why? Because they seek to manage, not lead, to manipulate, not tell it as it is. The government has lost its way. It's tired and fractious. And trust in the prime minister sinks by the day.
On constitutional reform
The government's instinct is to shroud itself in secrecy. To act like the office of a president instead of as a collective cabinet government held to account by the elected House of Commons. What we've seen is a small clique driving us into a war. That is not acceptable. That's why we need fundamental constitutional reform.
Does anybody really think that a House of Commons - in possession of adequate information, able to hold the executive to account and elected by fair votes - would have signed off the case for war?
On top-up fees
Our party has led the fight against tuition and top-up fees. And I issue this challenge to Labour MPs: they should examine their consciences, listen to their constituents and then join us in the division lobbies and defeat once and for all Tony Blair's bad idea for top-up fees.
On the Tories
The Tories remain paralysed - as they have been for the past 10 years - by feuds and rifts. They're a party of defeat and in retreat. In fact, they're increasingly not a truly national political party anymore. The Conservative choice is no choice at all in today's Britain.
On Lib Dem chance of power
In the post-Blair era _ people will be looking for a different approach to politics and a different style of leadership.
The other parties between them are offering us an unprecedented opportunity. People want us to be more ambitious. And I don't lack ambition for us.
Last year, I said it was a realistic ambition for us to start overtaking the Conservatives in British politics.This year, be in no doubt: We are overtaking the Conservatives.
Be in no doubt: We are the only credible challenge to the government.
On Whitehall reform
Earlier this year I proposed scrapping five Whitehall departments. With savings like slimming down the number of ministers and slimming down the number of ministries, we argue that you can cut central government spending by at least 1% _ On today's prices it's equivalent to £5bn each and every year. Vote Liberal Democrat, for less central government and Whitehall interference. And for more local nurses and teachers and police officers ... That'll be our message at the next general election. This is a defining gulf between us and our opponents.
On the environment
We've always been ahead on green issues. I'm determined we'll stay ahead. And we'll do that by sticking to one firm principle: making the economy work for the environment. Green growth. The polluter must pay. The environmentally friendly must be encouraged.
On Europe
We are at a decisive moment in British politics where Europe is concerned. Tragically, a decisive moment presided over by an indecisive government. It's left to us to put the positive European case. But we're sensible, not supine in our attitude towards Europe.
We broadly welcome the blueprint for the new Europe set out in the European constitutional convention ... (but) major constitutional changes should be subject to referendums.
On council tax
We have many strong messages to put across. And one of the best is our pledge to scrap the council tax _ we will argue for a far fairer and increasingly popular alternative local income tax based on people's ability to pay.
On the future
Millions of people are looking at us afresh _ they want to hear what we have to say about politics, how we can make society better. Not just a different style but a different substance. It's because of all that accumulated goodwill, wisdom, common sense and common cause, we go with a renewed spring in our step.

Platform: Xbox 360
If you read my review of Forza Motorsport 2 you'll know that I found it quite disappointing on a number of levels. With that in mind, I was trying not to get my hopes up this time around, but I needn't have worried. I'm not conceited enough to imagine that the guys at Turn 10 read my review of Forza 2 and set out to address all my issues, but they may as well have. Not only is Forza Motorsport 3 infinitely better than its predecessor, but I'd go as far as saying that it's the best driving game I've ever played!
I know that I've let the cat out of the bag early on this one, but much as I'd like you to finish reading this review, my advice would be to open a new window, navigate to your favourite online retailer, order Forza Motorsport 3 and then come back when you're done. Okay, now that you've got that out of the way, let's carry on.
I accused Turn 10 of trying to appeal to casual gamers with Forza 2, creating a model that was simply too easy for seasoned driving fanatics, but this time around it's crystal clear that the target gamers have petrol running through their veins. I can promise you this, because I played Forza 3 until 4:30am the first day that I got it, and I haven't had the energy or inclination to play a game through the night for a very long time.
So what's so good about Forza 3? It would be easy for me to say everything, glib as that may sound, and although I wouldn't be lying, let's break it down a bit. First up, the driving dynamics are so close to perfect that it's spooky. Take the 997 generation Porsche 911 for example - a car that feels like few others, especially on the limit - but despite its near unique nature, Turn 10 has managed to capture all its strengths and idiosyncrasies to perfection.
That's not just conjecture on my part either, having subjected my own 911 to copious amounts of abuse on the track over the summer. In Forza 3 a 911 rewards smooth driver inputs, and requires commitment through the bends, just like the real car. Having the engine out over the rear axle gives you incredible traction out of bends, but if you nail the throttle too early you'll find yourself facing the wrong way in no time. Master the way a 911 handles though, and you'll understand why many consider it to be the seminal sports car and the benchmark by which others are judged.
The 911 wasn't a fluke either, since each and every car that I've driven in Forza 3 feels as close to the real thing as you can possibly get in a video game. I was very happy to be presented with a 2009 Ford Focus RS as a gift early on, since I took delivery of one of these a few weeks ago, so again had a good point of reference. And yet again Turn 10 has completely nailed it. The Focus RS pumps 301bhp through its front wheels, which in theory shouldn't work, but it does, thanks to some great engineering on Ford's part. Not only is the Focus RS fast in a straight line, but the Quaife automatic torque biasing differential will drag you around a bend like the car is on rails. However, if you're a bit overenthusiastic with your throttle inputs, you'll encounter the car's propensity to oversteer, all of which is recreated perfectly in Forza 3!

"While PlayStation 3 devotees wait patiently for Gran Turismo 5 to finally appear, Microsoft has stolen the ball with Forza Motorsport 3. With sublime handling, beautiful modelling, a compelling career mode, and more polish than a crate of Mr Sheen, Forza Motorsport 3 is an object lesson in game design and presentation. Put simply, the best driving game ever!"
this comment makes you like a complete 360 fanboy, this website has become a joke, hungry for hits. FM3 is very good game but its way far from being the best driving game ever.
It might just be me, but the environments look bland.
Are those all in-game shots? Some of the rendering looks too good to be true...
... and a pc version will be released when? =)
Had my first online sesh with some chums last night. It's pure class.
I'm struggling to see how this can be a 10/10 when there are manifest problems with the AI and damage system. Still, the review is a significant improvement over the horrendous review of Forza 2 (the complaints about the Focus ST being a low point for TRs more generally).
"Still, the review is a significant improvement over the horrendous review of Forza 2 (the complaints about the Focus ST being a low point for TRs more generally)."
Are you for real?! And I thought I could get away from the wee girls over on IGNs forums! What is it about computer games/consoles/reviews that gets so many hot under the collar!
IT'S JUST SOMEONES OPINION! Jesus.
My thoughts for this can be summed up in one word....
I'm glad you liked it so much Riyad, but unless I'm misunderstanding you a lot of the improvements you're claiming in Forza 3 were already in Forza 2. For example, the situation wherein upgrading your car too fast would push you into the next class was present in no.2. I recall spending plenty of time balancing my upgrades so I didn't push into an A class.
10/10 != perfection
if it were no game would ever deserve a 10 or probably even a 9
@Ahlan Metacritic lists 5 sites giving it 100/100. Maybe it's the best ever, maybe not but it is a personal opinion and I at least can manage to read it as such. This is the best site on the web for reviews and if you find it a joke then it's your loss.
Frankly if Forza and GT5 were not tossing the crown of best racing game ever back and forth between one another with each subsequent iteration, I'd be worried. These are the two premier franchises in racing and if you assume incremental improvement each time, then they should be the best ones out there. The likes of Project Gotham and NFS have been steadily improving but they're still a league below these two. Perhaps the next version of GRID will be more serious
Jones, calm down, only one of us is typing in caps and getting hot under the collar, and it's not me. I've given specific issues with both this and the Forza 2, both of which are, as you observe, are just someone's opinion. If opinion and counter opinion are something you find troubling then you'd best avoid the internet altogether.
Thanks to the postal strike I got my copy of Forza 3 yesterday. I finally went to bed at 2:30am after saying "this is my last race" at about 1am! I'm a big racing game fan but sadly also one with very little time but for me this game is excellent and much improved over Forza 2. I've played Gran Turismo Prologue and unless they pull something out of the bag with the final release Forza 3 is going to walk all over it. Just before you call me an Xbox/Forza3 fanbois I'm lucky enough to own both an Xbox and a PS3 so consider my opinion quite well balanced.
As for Forza3 being the best racing game ever? No way, it's the 2nd best racing game ever as TOCA2 (the one before Codemasters started the "Race Driver" series) still holds that crown for me. ;)
wow just got the limited edition version this morning and its a great game. just had a go in a bugatti veyron and a ferrari FXX followed by a DBS
It is very difficult to compare this game, with an unreleased one (GT5)..i think we should all wait before making any assumptions as the gran turismo series has never failed to dissapoint..
@Ahlan:this comment makes you like a complete 360 fanboy, this website has become a joke, hungry for hits.
How exactly does this make TR hungry for hits?
Anyway, I bet there is a good chance the OP has both consoles, and has has left school by now.
ps. A free virtual chocolate bar to the one who can spot the PS3 fanboy :)
For the record I haven't played this game or even read the review for that matter, but I don't see how you can compare this to GT5 when it still isn't due to be released for nearly another year. It may be the best racing game on the market at the moment (though you have had to play every other racing game on the market to come to that conclusion), but I think the comparisons should wait until you have actually played the game you are comparing it to (GT5:P was a fraction of what the final game will be, and was released 18 months ago quite early on in development).
Also, 'best' depends on the type of racing game you prefer and which you find more enjoyable. Some will be much happier in games like GRID, DIRT or NFS: Shift than the more realistic sims like Forza and GT5.
Marko, don't spit the dummy out please. I'm just fed up with reading about people whinging over the quality of reviews. TR thankfully largely avoids this in non gaming areas. I'm merely pointing out that the sort of reactions to a review as seen in places like IGN, NME and now here (to a limited degree) are verging on pathetic. Sounds more like bitter wannabe journalists who can't get a job more than anything else to be frank.
By all means discuss the game and any reasonable points raised in the review but complaining about its 10/10 score for the reasons written is splitting hairs. GTAIV wasnt devoid of faults, for example, but is still very much a 10/10 game for a number of reasons. I can think of faults in Mario 64 or Zelda 64 too but would still rate them the highest score.
Im just glad TR refrains from using decimels or rating out of 100. Some of the arguments on IGN regarding whether a game should get 9.3 or 9.1 are beyond me.
Good review - as "Energizer Bunny" pointed out in his comments... the car class system was already an integral part of Forza 2.
I blame this small error on Riyad getting too many cool things to look at & review - the excitement is clearly messing with his mind ;-)
I like how Turn 10 turned 25 blandish tracks into 100 using the rewind feature. Personally I got bored with the 30sec-1min loading times I'm really no petrol head this game bored me to tears.
Forza 3 looks fantastic, maybe the best rendered car models ever seen on a console, detailed, dynamic colourful scenery with nice textures, whilst still shining through with silky smooth 60 fps frame rate.
And more than any other racer, it has *the right feel* - nice physics that actually let you spin opponent cars realistically (if that's your thing). Even if it's not your thing - there's nothing more jarring than slamming into a car at speed in Gran Tourismo only for it to continue 'on rails' unaffected.
Before anyone flames me - Gran Tourismo is great - but it has ignored a couple of important aspects of racing for far too long - and for me at least, Forza is right at the cutting edge of racing games - perfectly balancing the needs of both casual action-adrenalin junkies and serious sim-pumping petrol-heads alike.
Maybe Sony/Polyphony will pull it back again with GT5 - but they have a tough act to follow with Forza 3 playing such a strong hand here on all kinds of levels.
@JayC: Lucky you, who did you order from out of interest? If I'm Forza-less this weekend then postal workers best have eyes in the back of their heads!
Ugh, please best sim racer ever? Don't make me laugh. GTR2 by SimBin still owns that crown. Also please don't compare it to GT5, you haven't played GT5, unless of course you went to TGS or the Tokyo Motor Show.
Also no G25 no buy, until MS allow third party wheels Forza will always be behind GT, the standard MS racing wheel is really awful and bad for serious sim racing gamers.
To people comparing Forza 3 to GT5 Prologue, please don't. Prologue hasn't been updated for nearly a year, while GT5 has been under continuing development, the version I played in Tokyo was pretty good, some tearing and framerate issues, but with the release date still months away I'm sure Kaz will fix them all.

Last night I was very much missing Aunties Dez and Jeannie. And then guess who knocked on the door? They came to see me! I was so excited......until I saw HIM. My new cousin! Cousin Leo is his name and he is a Skipper puppy. I hate to admit this but I was beside myself with jealousy.
They brought him into the kitchen and there was much rejoicing over his cuteness. Auntie Dez gave me cookies but I couldn't stand it. I had to come into the kitchen which Mommy said was fine as long as I sat by her. See, she knew I saw Leo snitching the cat food and she knew that if given the opportunity, I'd rush over there and shove him out of the way and gobble all the cat food up. I am glad she stopped me. Because when I eat cat food, I get very much tremendous gaseous eruptions coming from my tail area and the aroma disturbs Mommy and Daddy so much that I have to sleep outside. Save me from myself Mommy.
I did get to play with cousin Leo and we ran around on the lawn chasing each other. It was very much fun. I was smiling and panting and drooling. Cousin Leo is deeply enamored with the swimming pool (shudder) and ran over there every chance he got. What is he thinking?!
The King
Man! A couple of weekends ago was Howloween. That is my favorite howliday besides Christmas, Easter, President's Day, Groundhog Day……….I got sidetracked. What was I talking about? Oh yeah. Howloween was very muchly fun. I dressed up in my special Elvis white satin cape with the sparkly rhinestones.
So many people were there. I just hung out with everyone and laughed and laughed. I stole several hotdogs and hamburgers from the little kids when people weren't looking. You snooze, you lose!
Aunties Jeannie and Dez were there too. Man, they are very much fun. They like to play with me. I love them.
The King
Man, I had a muchly, very good time this last weekend. Mommy and Daddy and Aunt Penny and Uncle Pat all got in the car and drove out to the woods. Aunt Dez and Aunt Jeannie were there waiting for us. I was so excited, I pooped. Excuse me.
The smells were incredible. There was dirt and bugs everywhere. I laid on the ground and chewed on myself. It was heavenly.
The best part though came that nite. I got to sleep between Mommy and Daddy in the tent. Mommy moaned about the stench and the dirt. Daddy and I were perfectly happy. In the morning, I woke them up with a gentle fart. Mommy started tripping and Daddy tried to make me feel better by farting too. By now, poor Mommy was gasping for air, but then she began laughing. After a moment, she became quiet and then she did the most amazing thing: she farted too! Oh man! That was very muchly funny! Mommy really is prissy so it was fun to see her be funny. We laughed and laughed and then Uncle Pat and Aunt Penny woke up because they'd heard us. They began laughing and it became a stinky competition. People after my own heart!
Later that day I played with Aunt Jeannie and Aunt Dez and I supervised the swimming expedition.
On the way home I passed out in the back and dreamed good boy dreams. I did hear Aunt Penny say that I was very stinky, but I kind of thought she was stinky! Shhhh, don't tell her! I don't think she'd understand that I mean that as a compliment! Humans are weird.
Mommy says that camping is gross. Is that a bad thing?

Looking to November, Disability Advocates Call for Accessible Polling Places
A Federal Court Judge will hear testimony Monday about how to make city polling sites more accessible for people who use wheelchairs or have vision impairments.
Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Deborah Batts ruled there were pervasive barriers at sites — from inadequate signage to locked entrance doors — for people with disabilities.
The suit was filed two years ago, alleging the Board of Elections violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Denise McQuade, who uses a wheelchair, faced several obstacles when she tried to vote in 2010 because her polling place in Bay Ridge was inaccessible.
"The door was hard to get through in a wheelchair and then I immediately faced a steep ramp that was more for deliveries than wheelchairs because it was on an incline and it was impossible to go up or down it by myself," she said.
It wasn't the first time McQuade had problems trying to vote. She has encountered a range of difficulties in her more than 40 years of exercising her right to vote in the city — sometimes having to be physically carried down stairs. She has periodically opted to vote by absentee ballot, but it isn't her preference.
One of the attorneys for the defendants, Julia Pinover, believes that even if people can vote absentee, they shouldn't have to.
"The truth is that voting is a really symbolic act. And to be denied the right to vote in person at your polling place is to have your voice silenced, to be excluded from your community and from having a voice in your country," she explained.
Pinover said they'll be asking the court on Monday to ensure that the city Board of Elections come up with short term remedies by the November election, which includes having a dedicated supervisor tasked to ensure each site is barrier free for people with disabilities.
In the long term, they'd like to see a system in place where the city moves away from using schools as sites and instead find buildings more universally accessible.
Senior Counsel with NYC Law Department, Steve Kitzinger, who is representing the city's Board of Elections in the case, said he disagrees with the ruling. "We don't believe that there widespread barriers to accessibility." Kitzinger wouldn't comment further since the case is still pending.

44 years ago today, a historically significant concert took place at the Winterland Arena in San Francisco. For the first time, legendary concert promoter Bill Graham welcomed Chuck Berry to the Bay Area to share a bill with the Grateful Dead. At the time, Berry was relatively unknown to much of the hippie generation, but with concerts such as these he was able to revive his career and went on to play many more shows hosted by Graham. This was also one day after the Dead had released their debut album, The Grateful Dead.
Berry's set is surely something worth hearing (you can stream it over at Wolfgang's Vault), but most of our attention is turned toward the Dead's performance. On this night, the Dead performed an early and a late set with Berry's set placed in between. In the first, it's Pigpen's band we're hearing with uptempo blues classics like "Smokestack" and "It Hurts Me too." It closes with "Dancing in the Streets offering a brief glimpse into the band's psychedelic side.
In the second, that side fully takes over, and the Dead deliver a scorching set of music from start to finish including the highlight version of "The Same Thing" featured on the So Many Roads box set. It's a perfect piece of musical history, marking a transitional phase in the Dead's career. Six months after this show, the band's sound would undergo radical changes. This is one of few recordings from this time, and a show that every Dead fan should hear.

How are non-academic buildings defining a vibrant student experience? For Hamline University's Anderson University Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota, it's all about making connections, as discussed in "New facilities enhance the quality of campus life," a Trends Report in the January issue of Building Design + Construction.
Not simply a student union, the Anderson Center has become a campus-wide crossroads for students, faculty, and staff, and the gateway from the campus to the city of Saint Paul.
The vision was shaped in the planning process, noted principal Angela Watson in the article: "It was an endeavor to bring students, faculty, and staff together to exchange ideas and have a social space on campus."
The Anderson Center opened at the beginning of the 2012-2013 academic year, and has been buzzing ever since.
