Pittsburgh fired him, we hired him, and the Giants owners made Coughlin fire him. here an example pf why this guy is a turd. Cory Webster, one of our corners, drafted during Lewis' tenure, 3rd round pick. First two years, nothing under TL, people called him a bust. Then, TL leaves and Corey has last year...ac ouple INT's in the playoffs and has become our premiere corner. TL is a loud mouth that dresses down players on a regular basis, no matter where or when. Not like a Parcells, who pushes buttons to make players respond, Lewis is bad, just bad. Get rid of him and bring in a new DB coach, that will help for nest year. Soory for your guys loss, we ate a brick, too. But, hey, 12-4 ain't a bad season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is not quite all there is to say on this topic. You first need to
know with respect to what aspects of the model a model is "robust".
For example, if we talk about robust standard errors than that
typically is typically robust with respect to the model of the
variance and higher moments, but assumes that the model is correct
with respect to the mean. The comparison of the marginal mean and
variance does not tell us enough to distinguish between the two.

Human Rights Watch has an "anti-Israel bias," according to AIPAC.
A year ago, I wrote about how bias actually works (note to conservatives--not a giant conspiracy).
But also a sort of bias that a responsible government worker is expected to fight.
Part of the problem is the lingering suspicion that the network has an anti-American bias.
These laws encourage suspicion, bias, and profiling of immigrants, Latinos, and other people of color.
Grotius was not a recluse, but a man of the world, who certainly had no bias to the side of religion.
His bias, the precise nature of his propaganda, are frankly exposed.
They say, or do, or think, something which gives a bias at once to the whole of their career.
The mere fact that they are the few determines the bias of the legislators.
I put forward my opinion with great diffidence; it is so easy to interpret facts by the bias of one's own wishes.
1520s, from French biais "slant, slope, oblique," also figuratively, "expedient, means" (13c., originally in Old French a past participle adjective, "sideways, askance, against the grain"), of unknown origin, probably from Old Provençal biais, with cognates in Old Catalan and Sardinian; possibly from Vulgar Latin *(e)bigassius, from Greek epikarsios "athwart, crosswise, at an angle," from epi- "upon" + karsios "oblique," from PIE *krs-yo-, from root *(s)ker- "to cut." It became a noun in Old French. "[A] technical term in the game of bowls, whence come all the later uses of the word" [OED]. Transferred sense of "predisposition, prejudice" is from 1570s in English.
For what a man had rather were true he more readily believes. Therefore he rejects difficult things from impatience of research; sober things, because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride, lest his mind should seem to be occupied with things mean and transitory; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar. Numberless in short are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections colour and infect the understanding. [Francis Bacon, "Novum Organum," 1620]
1620s, literal and figurative, from bias (n.). Related: Biased; biasing.

Drexel match for Jan. 31 postponed. Match will be made up at a later date.
PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania women's tennis team will play on back-to-back days for the first time in 2014, this Friday against neighboring Drexel at 2 p.m. and Saturday versus Maryland at2 p.m., both in the Levy Tennis Pavilion.
Penn (0-1) is coming off its first match of the spring season that saw the Quakers fall to Old Dominion, 4-3. Penn was unable to win a doubles match and competed without two of its starters in singles. The Quakers were able to get singles wins from Sol Eskenazi, Kana Daniel and Jaime Yapp-Shing, competing in the top-three positions. In the sixth-position, Brigitte Desnoes was able to force a third match, before falling, 11-9.
Penn will play Drexel (3-0) for just the ninth time overall, with the Quakers winning the previous eight meetings.
The neighbor schools have played intermittently in the past,beginning in1973-1975, before resuming the series again in 2000. The Quakers and the Dragons then met up again in 2001 before squaring off in 2010 and 2011. The most recent time the two schools have met was in 2012, with Penn winning the match convincingly, 7-0.
Drexel has opened the season with a win against Rider (7-0) in October, and more recently, wins against Monmouth (7-0) at home, and at Lehigh (5-2).
Penn vs. Drexel
Overall Series: 8-0
Splits: Home (7-0), Away (1-0)
Past Five Meetings:

I keep returning to the same train of thought: with the Galaxy S III, Samsung has been successful in completely consumerizing Android. And they have a powerful brand platform. The Galaxy S III is a huge marketing win for Samsung, as it provides a consistent branding message across the world, and across the five largest wireless carriers in the US. Gone for now are carrier-cultivated names like the Samsung Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch. Verizon, ATT, Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular customers will know the flagship device as the Samsung Galaxy S III.
Yes, the overarching theme that I come away with after working with the Samsung Galaxy S III for a couple of days is the very thing that Android purists and fans will hate most: this is the first Android device that I can say without a doubt is ready for the mainstream user. I'm referring solely to the other 99 percent of us; those that want a consistent, fluid experience with some great features that can be accessed without rooting or tweaking the phone. Thanks to a solid combination of specs and ease-of-use, I could safely recommend this phone to the power user, the social media buff, the media junkie, and the first-time smartphone buyer. And at the end of the day, most of them would be very pleased with the package.
I've been working with the international Galaxy S III, which offers a 1.4 GHz quad-core Exynos processor, 1 GB of RAM, a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD display, 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording, a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera, 2,100 mAh battery, Android 4.0 with a new build of TouchWiz, and HSPA+ 21 Mbps connectivity that'll work on ATT in the US. It directly competes with other Android flagships like HTC's One X and EVO 4G LTE, and is coming to five carriers in the US beginning on June 21st. The US build will swap out the Exynos chip for a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 CPU, and will be bundled with 2 GB of RAM and 4G connectivity (LTE or HSPA+, depending on your carrier).
- The Galaxy S III launches amidst some tough competition; most notably, HTC's One X. HTC's flagship comes very close and offers a great (albeit different) user experience, but from a software standpoint, it still needs some polish around the edges. I get the vibe that HTC is trying to double dip between the tech and mainstream consumer crowds with Sense 4, whereas Samsung is gunning for the mainstream crowd, territory that Apple has long dominated. HTC's approach is great for those of us that enjoy tinkering with our smartphones, and I give the company credit for creating a less polarizing UI that will appeal to both mainstream users and tech geeks (a historically strong demographic for the company). As for HTC's "appeal to everyone" versus Samsung's "appeal to the mainstream" strategy, it's anyone's guess as to which is more successful long-term, but I'd wager that Samsung's distribution agreements with the five US carriers will place it in a very lucrative position that HTC hasn't (yet) been able to enjoy with their flagship.
- The international Samsung Galaxy S III is available in 16, 32, and 64 GB variants and can be purchased in pebble blue or marble white. If you can't wait for the US variants, it's available now for a lot of money at online retailers like Negri Electronics. I've been working with the marble white model, though I think I'm partial to the pebble blue. ATT's exclusive red model sounds really appealing, provided it's a dark red. Both phones come in at 8.6mm thin and weigh 5.6 ounces.
- The design language is typical Samsung, as you'd expect; all variants are glossy and made of plastic. The volume rocker is on the left side; power button is on the right; 3.5mm headphone jack is up top; and the microUSB charging port is on the bottom. Those against non-removable batteries will find the Galaxy S III to be appealing; the phone's 2,100 mAh battery and microSD card slot can easily be accessed by removing the back cover.
- More on the design. Rewind back to the global announcement day, and I was on a plane, headed from San Francisco to London. Thanks to a series of meetings and events that I needed to attend earlier in the week, I hadn't had the time to follow-up on every news article. So as such, I missed most of the final rumor posts about the Galaxy S III. The Galaxy S III was placed in my hand at a meeting that morning, prior to the circulation of press releases and associated images. So unlike many of the people reading this, I held the actual phone before I saw the press images, and as such, my opinions of the design were formulated in a different manner. I see a lot of criticism about the Galaxy S III's look on the web, and while some of it can be chalked up to Samsung's plastic design language, I'm seeing a number of comments against the design in itself. Design preferences are obviously subjective, but if you're at all on the fence, I'd strongly advise checking it out in a retail store. The press images don't do an adequate job of conveying the overall design and feel of the smartphone in the hand.
- Connectivity has been strong thus far. With the international version, you lose 4G LTE connectivity in place of HSPA+ 21 Mbps (which works well on ATT), but gain slightly better battery life as a result. Working with a non-ATT branded device (read: no always-on-regardless-of-speed "4G" indicator) is testament to how often the network switches between HSPA+ and other 3G variants, but when ATT's HSPA+ network is in action, speeds are zippy. In testing in Charlotte, San Francisco, and Phoenix, I noticed download speeds between 3 and 6 Mbps, with bursts as high as 7.1 Mbps.
- So far, battery life has been exceptional. Despite powering a 4.8-inch HD display, I've been able to easily make it through the day, even while throwing it some tough curveballs. Yesterday, I removed the phone from the charger at 4:00 AM EST for a full day of travel and meetings in San Francisco. With two hours of calls; an estimated 200 text messages; reading several emails and responding to approximately 25 from the phone; light web browsing; roughly two hours of music playback while traveling; and downloading a few apps; I was able to make it until just after 7:00 PM PST. Your mileage may vary depending on the level of customization you apply to the phone (obviously, things like live wallpapers, news, and weather all take a toll on the battery), but it's a strong contender in the battery life department. While I'm still running final tests, it easily goes against the international Samsung Galaxy Note and appears to best the international HTC One X.
- The level of customization and things you can do with the Galaxy S III is impressive. Instead of making it "just another Android phone," the Galaxy S III offers a ton nifty customizations to the software that are intended to make the device easier to use. Some of my favorites:
- Integrated battery percentage indicator
Something I've been waiting for on Android for years. Without rooting, you have the option of a battery percentage indicator at the top of the display. This is a feature I use on every single one of my smartphones (and get irritated when I don't have the option – ahem, Windows Phone), so the ability to access it without downloading a separate widget is incredibly useful.
- Tap to return to the top of a list
While viewing a list (I use it most often in Contacts), you can tap two of your fingers on the top of the phone, and the Galaxy S III will scroll to the top.
- Missed call and text vibrate notification
I chalk this up to receiving 200-300 emails a day and to a lesser extent, my desire to always make sure my email and text message folders are clear. But this is an incredibly useful feature. When enabled, you can pick up the phone and it will emit a quick vibration if you have any missed calls or text messages. Sure, there's the notification light, but the vibrate offers an extra touch and saves that half a second between waiting for the light to illuminate. And a bunch of half-seconds equate to at least 30 more seconds I have throughout the day. Yep, that would be my 24-hour media mindset talking.
- Voice features
You'll see this one on full display in the review, but it's a cool little feature that I've really been enjoying. You can assign the phone to recognize a specific voice command at the unlock screen and perform certain tasks. For example, I press the power button to access the unlock screen, say "play music," and it automatically starts up my music. I also use "check text messages" quite a bit, which as you would expect, is programmed to take me directly to my Messages app. It's important to note that you can make the voice command your own; if you want to direct Galaxy S III to show you missed calls when you say "Aaron Baker rocks my socks," you can program it appropriately.
- Integrated battery percentage indicator
Small software features and tweaks along with powerful specifications make this device a fantastic upgrade to the Galaxy series, and prove that Samsung is thinking outside of the Android box. This is the kind of Android experience that I've hoped to see for years: powerful technology with the flexibility of Android and iOS-like fluidity.

Post Update: If you have Plant-Powered Families, these tips and MORE are now in the packing lunches section. Flip to page 233… and breathe easy!
Does the thought of packing school lunches again make you cringe? It can be frustrating to plan and pack school lunches, and that can feel even more overwhelming when eating vegan or plant-strong, especially now that most schools require nut-free lunches.
I'm here to take some of that stress away today. I've been packing lunches for our girls (and my hubby) for about ten years now, so I've learned some tricks and definitely have a school-year system.
One of my tricks is to rely on some key recipes. Ones that are easy, quick, that my kids love, and that pack well for school lunches. I'm sharing them with you today, along with some other tips for school-lunch success.
Ready to take notes? Class begins, now:
I would be lost without our Chickpea Nibbles. For years I made Tamari Roasted Chickpeas (from ed&bv), and then I needed a recipe even easier. Enter Chickpea Nibbles from PPF. I make double and triple batches of these. Seriously, my kiddos eat one batch in one sitting – easily. Sometimes I hide away extra for lunches in the fridge, just so they won't eat them all straight away. #meanmama What to do with them beyond snacking? Add them as a side snack in lunches, or mix into pasta, or rice/quinoa. Mash into a sandwich with your kiddos' fave condiments. FYI, the school kids may also want them. I've had requests. 🙂
It's official, #hummusisafoodgroup.
Now that the hummus food group movement has officially begun (thank you Simple Reminders), get started with my Creamy Hummus! But don't stop there. Try these other varieties. And, you know you can FREEZE hummus, right? Yes, double or triple batch, then freeze in about 2-cup portions. It thaws beautifully, take it out the night before and pop in the fridge. How to use? In sandwiches, slathered in wraps, as a dip for veg and rice crackers or pitas, on pizzas, as a spread for bagels or on pizzas, thinned out and mixed into pasta!
It's just impossible for me to narrow this down to one recipe. But, I can narrow it down to 5 or so recipes that I make every week through the school year. These recipes are staples to pack in lunches for recess, and also for hubby's lunch: (1) Maple Banana Bread, (2) Pumpkin Seed and Chocolate Chip Oat Bars (now 25% off my ebook with code PP15school), (3) Banana Oat Bundles, (4) Snackles (original and pumpkin!), (5) Apple-Hemp Muffins. Put those 5-6 baked goods in rotation, double-batch and freeze some if needed. Your kids will thank you. Then you can thank me. 😉
Or, Balsamic-Tamari Tofu (read on). This recipe originates from Vive le Vegan, and has been a staple recipe for me – and many of my readers – for years. I used to make it with the herbs all the time, but noticed once we had the girls, they were a little fussy about all that herb-age! So, now, I do a most simplified marinade of tamari and either lemon juice or balsamic (usually balsamic because it is quicker) and a touch of maple syrup. Those modifications are in the recipe, which I've just posted. How to use it in lunches? Keep sliced for sandwiches, crumble and use in wraps, cut in squares and mix into quinoa or leftover pasta, add to soup, or let them eat it on the side with a sandwich. Many possibilities with this recipe, and lunch prep will be easy-breezy!
5. Smoothies
Either before school or after school, they are a brilliant way to nourish and sustain your kiddos in a nutrient-dense drink. Don't just fill them up with fruit, balance with some greens and veggies if you can, and also add nutrient-rich hemp seeds, chia seeds, goji berries, or nut butters. Our eldest now loves green smoothies, and the trick for me was adding frozen pineapple. I'd used it before in green smoothies, but didn't always want it myself. Yet, it is one of the best tricks for balancing any 'green' flavor tones. You can get the full green smoothie tutorial here. Also try the Acai Antioxidant Smoothie and Strawberry Goji Smoothies (in first smoothie link).
Make 'em soon, and make 'em often! There is a nut-free option in the recipe, so you can make these for school lunches. If you don't want to roll into balls, you can also press into a small pan and cut into squares. I often double the batch (you need a larger processor to do so), and freeze half. They pack perfectly for lunches, and school parties (being nut-free, dairy-free, and also gluten-free) and also terrific when running out to activities.
This is one of our girls' favorite soups. The recipe is in eat, drink & be vegan, but I have just posted it for you. Make it for dinner one evening, and send it to school in a thermos for the kiddos another day. Or, just keep the leftovers for a quick dinner another night. Some other soups my girls love include this White Bean Soup and Sweet Potato Lentil Chili.
This unassuming little recipe with nutritional yeast transforms many of our school lunches from drab to fab. I add it to pasta, and "ta-dah!", kiddos love it. Sometimes I'll use a basic marinara sauce, but more often I'll do a simple slurry of apple cider vinegar, tamari, and maple syrup (just a touch) – mix it up to taste, toss into pasta, then mix in the cheesy sprinkle. Kids LOVE this for lunch. Add in some veg or beans (there's those tamari roasted chickpeas again!), cubed tofu or tempeh, and it's a very satisfying lunch. I also sprinkle it into wraps for the girls, with things like cubed potatoes and hummus, and into quinoa bowls. Many possibilities! Note that the original version is nut-based, but I offer a nut-free alternative in the recipe. This is the one I use for school lunches, and the girls really haven't noticed the difference.
This may not be something you pack into lunches – though you certainly could, they are both nut-free – but your kiddos will love coming home to it! I have Chocolate and Pumpkin Chia Puddings posted, and in my upcoming cookbook (details soon), I have an Apple Pie Chia Pudding (plus a Bananascotch Pudding and PB Pudding with Fresh Berry Swirl, it's going to be a fun book)!
10. Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies
With the school year comes school parties. Halloween, Christmas, birthdays… someone lost a tooth, someone has a new baby sister, it's "party day"! Yeah, I'm exaggerating. But not much, us parents know the school party scene. Always a reason for a party – and junky treats. Most of the treats we see going in and out of schools are pretty crummy. So, get a healthier – but DELICIOUS – dairy-free, egg-free chocolate chip cookie recipe in your arsenal! My Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies are a classic, and have almost 250K YouTube views. These are your go-to vegan cookie.
Other Tips for Smart and Plant-Powered Lunches
– Pack lunches the day before. There is already enough chaos in the morning, so pack the lunches during lunch the day before, or the evening before.
– Also fill water bottles! Have them ready in the fridge ready to tote.
– Cook things in batches through the week and weekend. Hummus, tamari roasted chickpeas, muffins, as mentioned above. But also batch-cook potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, quinoa, beans, etc. All those staples can be used in wraps, sandwiches, added to soups, pastas, and more.
– Pack plenty of fresh fruit and make it EASY for them to eat. Yes, it feels a nuisance sometimes to peel those mandarins or cut oranges into bite-size pieces and pop into a container. Why not just pack the whole fruit? Because kids have very little time to eat in school, that's why. So, make it easy for them to eat that fruit. Peel or slice or cut into small pieces and pack in a container along with a fork. They are far more likely to eat it.
– Pack occasional treats – seaweed snacks, baked chips, cookies, a few vegan gummy worms. They have very healthy lunches, let them find a treat once in a while!
– Have stock of different size containers (scroll down to 'kitchen gear for kids and lunches). I have an entire cupboard with different sizes of containers. Some are ziploc, others are reused containers from nondairy yogurt or store-bought dips, etc. The smaller ones are great for fruit and snacky items, the larger ones for pasta, sandwiches, etc. One day I may reveal my crazy cupboard of containers and lids! If you prefer a bento box, this Planetbox gets top reviews.
– We all need shortcuts. You may not always get to making marinated tofu, making soup, or baking muffins. Get some Amy's burgers or other veg burgers that you can easily heat and put in a sandwich, and pick up healthier granola bars or snack cookies. Try Amy's baked beans in a wrap with rice (I always add about 1 cup or more of black or kidney beans to stretch it out) or Amy's alphabet soup – amp up the nutritional profile by adding beans, cubed potatoes or sweet potatoes, or cubed tofu. Try a pre-marinated tofu which simply needs to be sliced or lightly heated. Keep some quick fixes on hand to avoid mama (or papa) food-prep burnout!
Next, here are some examples of lunches I've packed for our girls (photo quality not stellar, but sure to give you the idea):
Couple of news-y bits before I sign off:
First, PCRM has launched their September kickstart. I've been following PCRM from their early days, and am extremely proud to be partnered with them for this month's kickstart. Not only are quite a few of my recipes in their 21-day plan, I am their "featured partner" for September. If you sign up and mention my name as the referral, you have the chance to win one of my books at the end of the program… plus you will be eligible to purchase the PP15 at a discounted rate. I don't discount the Plant-Powered 15 ebook anywhere else, this is a special PCRM initiative. If you are new to the kickstart program, it is completely free to register. Every day you receive emails with recipe highlights, tips from celebrities, and more. There is also a community forum. In fact, I have met some very special readers here from the kickstart program! So, it's a very cool way to network and also, obviously, get immersed in a healthy plant-strong dietary plan.
Second, I have just launched my Plant-Powered 15 on amazon. You can still order through my site, but now you have the option to order via amazon on your kindle. Since many of you already have the PP15, I am asking a wee favor: If you have and love this ebook, can you leave a short review on amazon? Would really help establish its presence. On the topic of reviews, I would also deeply appreciate extra reviews of LTEV. As I work to finish this next cookbook, it is helpful to build the reviews and profile on amazon. I sure appreciate any help. Thank you.
With that, I hope you enjoy these school lunch tips. PLEASE share some of your own! What recipes do you rely on regularly? And, what are your go-to snacks and meals to pack into lunches. Any terrific quick-fixes to share?

COMMERCE, Texas -- Micheal Kessner, a 2008 curriculum
and instruction doctoral graduate of Texas A&M University-Commerce,
has won a Recognition of Merit in the 2008-09 Phi Delta Kappa
International Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award Program.
An elementary science specialist at Lovejoy Independent
School District in Allen, Kessner received the award for her research
on the impact of hands-on, inquiry-based science curriculum on
teaching and learning.
"This is an extremely prestigious award for Dr. Kessner and
the College of Education and Human Services at Texas A&M
University-Commerce and we congratulate her," A&M-Commerce Dean Brent
Mangus said.
"By receiving such a high level of distinction, we are
demonstrating the high quality of our students and the expertise of
our faculty in mentoring our students we attract from undergraduate
to our doctoral programs," Mangus said.
PDK is a global association of education professionals. The
PDK Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award is designed to further
research in education. Fifty dissertations were received and reviewed
by a panel of education researchers.
"Research-discovering new and better ways for teachers to
teach and students to learn-is central to PDK's longstanding
mission," PDK Executive Director William Bushaw said. "We are
thrilled to honor Dr. Kessner's important work."
Kessner said the dissertation process was "long and rigorous,
but very fulfilling. I am deeply honored and privileged to be
Information about Kessner's dissertation is included in the
June 2009 issue of the Phi Delta Kappan.
Her dissertation is titled, "How Does Implementation of
Inquiry-Based Science Instruction in a High-Stakes Testing
Environment Affect Fifth-Grade Student Science Achievement?"
In her research, Kessner studied three groups of fifth
graders to see how hands-on, inquiry-based curriculum impacted
students' achievement on the science portion of the Texas Assessment
of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) exam.
She found students who used the hands-on science curriculum

Airport Metro to miss deadline again
The word delay has become synonymous with the Capital's swanky airport Metro.delhi Updated: Nov 27, 2012 01:13 IST
The word delay has become synonymous with the Capital's swanky airport Metro.
After missing several deadlines — starting with the initial run ahead of the Commonwealth Games in 2010 — the high-speed Metro train service, which was started in February 2011 and was suspended this July following major problems in construction, is set to miss its November deadline.
And if the authorities are to be believed, the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) is responsible for the delay this time. The CMRS is yet to give a date to conduct a safety inspection of the 22.7-km line.
Earlier, urban development ministry had set two deadlines for the reopening of the service — September and October, 2012 — but failed as the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), responsible for civil construction of the stretch, could not complete the repair work.
"We cannot actually give any specific date now. The line will be opened only after getting requisite clearances from CMRS," Sudhir Krishna, secretary, MoUD, said.
Earlier last month, the DMRC had declared that the line would be made operational before Diwali. Jitendra Tyagi, director (works), DMRC, had told HT that repair work would be completed and services resumed before this Diwali.
"We were ready but until CMRS inspects the line, the service cannot start," Tyagi said adding, "It will not open in November. We are expecting that everything will be in place by the first week of December."
Sources said DMRC had earlier wanted to start the service without CMRS' intervention as "this is not a new project". But Delhi Airport Metro Express Pvt Ltd (DAMEPL), which is the concessionaire, had demanded an inspection.
The concessionaire company on November 5 had forwarded a request to CMRS through the DMRC for a safety inspection but didn't get a date from RK Kardam, CMRS.
Kardam could not be contacted for his comment. DAMEPL also has refused to comment.

QoLT Students Named Seibel Scholars
Ruta Desai (top) and Min Kyung Lee (bottom) - 2013 Seibel Scholars
The Siebel Scholars Foundation has named two QoLT graduate students at Carnegie Mellon University -- Ruta Desai and Min Kyung Lee – to the 2013 class of Siebel Scholars.
The Siebel Scholars program recognizes the most talented students at the world's leading graduate schools of business, bioengineering, and computer science. They are chosen based on outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated leadership. On average, Siebel Scholars rank in the top 5% of their class, many within the top 1%. Each receives a $35,000 award for their final year of study.
Ruta Desai also is a master's student in robotics and a recent recipient of Google's prestigious Anita Borg Fellowship Scholarship. Her research focus is on legged robotics. She works with Professors Chris Atkeson and Hartmut Geyer in QoLT's Mobility and Manipulation (MOMAT) Research Thrust on developing controls for automated balance recovery in the presence of large disturbances like trips and pushes. In her research, Desai seeks to understand the neuromuscular control of the lower limbs in human locomotion in order to design better control for artificial legs and humanoids.
Min Kyung Lee is a Ph.D. candidate in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute and a student in QoLT's Human System Interaction (HSIT) Research Thrust. Her research focuses on understanding how people make sense of intelligent, personalized systems — assistive robots, speech based interfaces, smart homes, and others — and designing them to improve people's lives. Her dissertation addresses the question of how autonomous systems should be personalized, and how users want to control them. Her studies have explored human interactions with CMU's Snackbot - a semi-autonomous robot that delivers snacks to hungry office workers.
Additional Seibel Scholars from Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science include: Sanjiban Choudhury, Martina Rau, and Zeyu Zheng.

EDITORIAL: UNLV medical school plans take shape
Nov. 10, 2013
We know from the success of UNLV's Boyd School of Law that an elite professional school can be created from scratch. We know from the success of the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health that there is a place in Las Vegas for advanced, specialized medical care and research. And we know from downtown's post-recession revival that big dreams are still attainable in Las Vegas. A state medical school would help this young city and its young university grow up awfully fast.

"He was at a brick wall before he started his bakery," Peg Cottle says.
Soon after starting, Cottle and his mother attended entrepreneurship training classes offered by Seed Spot, an organization that helps socially responsible businesses.
"He's legitimate. The product he produces is the real deal. His disability doesn't even come into play as far as I'm concerned," says Chris Norcross, general manager of building company and Stuttering King customer Mortenson Construction. He orders as many as 300 cookies at a time.
The Cottles recently moved to a home with a larger kitchen, one that will allow Cottle to bake more and increase his revenue. He wants to expand.

Q: Can ostriches swim?Lisa, Ridley Township, Pennsylvania
A: An ostrich, his black wings flailing for balance, sought the scant shelter of trapped debris against a fence, as Hurricane Katrina's winds lessened in southeastern Louisiana. Water lapped against the fence, rising twelve feet in thirty minutes.
At first, the ostrich ran against the moving current but even his nine-foot height proved short. Two toes on one foot flicked the inundated ground, the other foot found only water. The ostrich floated, low in the water, his 250-pound (115-kg) mass buoyed by light, hollow, bird bones.
Kicking off the submerged fence, he stretched his neck forward, and slowly swam toward higher ground. He passed two men in a trawler, also paddling toward safety.
One man with poor eyesight peered at the apparition. "It looks like the Loch Ness Monster!"
"It's an ostrich," Meyers, his buddy, said.
Can ostriches swim? In August 2005, George Lee and his roommate, Michael Meyers, saw one swim by as they paddled toward the highway near the small town of Poydras, southeast of New Orleans, according to an account published in the Galveston County Daily News. I retold the story, with a little poetic license.
Rheas (another large flightless bird related to the ostrich) swim routinely. "When swimming, very little of their bodies appear above water; their necks are extended a little forward, and their progress is slow," Charles Darwin wrote in The Voyage of the Beagle. He also mentions, "On two occasions I saw some ostriches [he meant rheas] swimming across the Santa Cruz River [near the south tip of Argentina], where its course was about four hundred yards wide, and the stream rapid."
I asked ostrich ranchers and zookeepers for help answering this question. Answers flooded back; the consensus is ostriches can swim. The clincher came from Sharon Dewar and bird curator Michael Mace of the San Diego Zoo. Mace found a South African Dispatch Online article that reports wild ostriches swimming in the sea.
Almost at the tip of South Africa, near Cape Town, a fisherman saw two female ostriches on tiny Schaapen Island, and alerted park staff at a nearby bird sanctuary on the mainland. A day later, the two birds waded back into the sea, and fought their way across strong cross currents for twenty minutes to the mainland. Park staff monitored their progress in a patrol boat.
Apparently, ostriches swim by "using the same motion pattern of the legs as they do when running, however, not very efficiently," conjectures biologist Christoffer Johansson, a professor at the Lunds University in Sweden who studies the hydrodynamics of swimming birds. Johansson says if they're buoyant enough to keep their heads above water, "swimming is not very difficult."
Ostrich farmers provided more evidence. Here are a few of the many helpful replies:
• "They can swim across a pond," says Rooster Cogburn of the Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch in Arizona.
• "Yes they can [swim]; on hot days they love going into water to cool down," says Dougie Bester of Cango Ostrich Farm, nine miles (14 km) outside of Oudtshoorn in South Africa.
• During excessive rains, a farmer said ostrich pens on her farm filled with water, and the ostriches swam, "like swans", across a pond to dry ground," e-mails Dianna Westmoreland of the American Ostrich Association.
•Donna Dernbach of Golden Dreams Ranch in Wisconsin e-mailed about a friend's ostriches, "They go into the water and swim to the other side [of a pond]. All the farmer could see was their necks and heads."

West Orange, N.J. Linens 'n Things branded merchandise is headed back to store shelves for the first time since the retailer was forced to shut its doors last year, the owners of its brand said on Thursday.
In a new licensing deal, Home Outfitters, a division of Hudson's Bay Co., will sell a special line of Linens 'n Things branded goods at its 69 stores in Canada beginning next spring. The deal extends through 2016.
The agreement, which includes a range of bed and bath, home decor and seasonal products, extends through 2016 and is projected to generate in excess of $100 million in retail sales over the term.
Linens 'n Things' home goods line will premier in all 69 Home Outfitters locations beginning in spring 2010.
Linens 'n Things went out of business last year after it failed to find a buyer in bankruptcy. But at a bankruptcy auction in January, Gordon Brothers Brands and Hilco Consumer Capital won the rights to Linens 'n Things' intellectual property.

For the Ultimate Sweater Machine:
Tips, Hints and Troubleshooting
If you have any trouble setting up or knitting on your Ultimate Sweater Machine, follow the suggestions below.
For more information
on the Ultimate Sweater Machine, please see:
Use the non-skid mat on any flat surface, but be sure not to pull down on the hem as you set up. Or, if you want to use the clamps, be sure to use a flat surface
with a "true" bottom, similar to a piece of hardwood board. One
of the long pre-cut shelves available at hardware stores and home
centers is a good choice.
Do not bear down on the carriage or it could be difficult to knit. Just hold down the handle enough to keep the keyplate in place.
jams at the beginning of the row.
Problem: Carriage jams at the beginning of the row.
Solution #1: Remember the hemis back against the bed at the beginning of the row so the front of the carriage will clear the hem.
Solution #2: Be sure the green stripper plate on the underside of the nose of the carriage runs just below the needles. It is supposed to run just under the needles and slightly raise them as it knits.
Check to see if the yarn has wrapped around one of the green stripper plates on the underside of the carriage. Using your finger, release the yarn from around the plate, pull up the yarn that was caught on the plate and continue to knit the row. To prevent this from happening in the future, be sure to hold the yarn at the beginning of the row before you push the carriage, until you see the first needle begin knitting the yarn.
Problem: Carriage jams after a few stitches.
Solution: Make sure all needles are in FWP.
Problem: Carriage jams in the middle of the row after cast-on row or while knitting the next few rows.
Solution #1: Check to be sure the needles are in FWP and not moved out of line.
Solution #2: Lift up the handle of the carriage and check to be sure all the needles are either in non-working, working, forward working or holding position. If there is a needle out of line, it can hit on the "bounce bar" on the underside of the keyplate. You will be able to see this through the tinted keyplates.
Solution #3: Do not bear down on the carriage.
Solution #4: If you have a row counter attached to your machine, remove it while you're learning.
Problem: Carriage jams or drops stitches at the beginning of the row after you have knitted a row.
Solution: Be sure the last row was knitted completely. You should knit the row until the last needle stops moving or it will be difficult to knit the next row or you can drop stitches.
Problem: Difficult to knit completely across row.
Solution #1: Be sure there is enough free yarn coming from the pull-skein. If the yarn is pulling directly out of a new ball or if it gets caught on something on your table, it will be difficult to knit the row.
Solution #2: Do not hold the yarn as you knit.
Problem: Knitting or hem falls off at the beginning of the row.
Solution: Be sure to hold the yarn at the beginning of the row and to be sure it feeds through the yarn guide in the front of the carriage. If it is pulled out or comes out by not holding it, there is no yarn to feed into the needles and all the stitches will drop.
Problem: After knitting a few rows, carriage is stuck at the beginning of the row.
Solution: Because by nature, knitting curls toward you at the sides, to make it easier for the carriage to knit the edges, be sure to use the S-hooks and rubber bands, which serve to open out the side edges.. Be sure the knitting is back against the bed and one of the green plates on the underside of the carriage isn't hitting the knitting.
Problem: I'm having trouble using the #1 keyplate, as the needles are positioned a bit forward.
Problem: Mistake made or too many rows knitted.
Solution: Just rip out the mistake row or extra rows. Be sure to unlatch the first stitch, which is usually a bit tighter than the others. See your instructional video on how to rip out a row.
Problem: Mistake made in the middle of the row and carriage is stuck.
Solution: Lift up the keyplate and slide the carriage back to the beginning of the row. Then rip out the stitches knitted on that row. Push the needles into either working or forward working position. Pull up the loose yarn and knit the row again.
Problem: I'm getting loops over the needles and nothing is knitting. What's wrong?
Solution: The keyplate is not inserted properly. Be sure the back edge of the keyplate is inserted between the two "shelves" at the back of the carriage. The keyplate will have to be pushed down slightly, but not forced down. Also, be sure not to try to insert the keyplate unless all the needles under the carriage are in non-working position.

The below provided free CNA sample resume can be a helpful resource if you understand how to use it correctly.
Right now, the field of certified nursing assistance is highly competitive. Organizations are now swamped by hundreds, even thousands, of resumes for every job opening. If your documents cannot effectively compete with all of those other resumes, how will you get the job?
Anyone can visit numerous resume web sites to get CNA resume samples, but you must remember the importance of originality.
Avoid taking the "easy route" of duplicating content from an online sample resume, because it will not help you. Obviously, this resume example must be quite popular if you can quickly locate it through an online sample resume search. For your information, search engines give the best search list placements to the CNA resume examples that get the most online traffic. So you can imagine, if you duplicate the styling and copy from the popular resume example, so have countless others. These samples are also very well known to employers, who have already seen these words, templates, formats, and resume examples.
You should strictly consider CNA resume examples as a way to ascertain the skills of the resume writer. You can quickly decide if the resume writing service is knowledgeable in the certified nursing assistance industry by evaluating their sample resumes. Do the resume development specialists know what keywords tend to be scanned when screening CNA resumes? How did the resume writer clarify the main objective? Do they only show forgettable templates or do they generate individual formats? Did they demonstrate outstanding CNA cover letter examples? If not, did they provide amazing cover letter writing for other industries?
If you are a highly qualified CNA, and you are going to draft your own resume to compete in a cut-throat job market, then avoid relying on resume examples. If you truly have to copy popular concepts and content, then try to work from as many resume examples as possible. Then rewrite the text as needed to make it truly unique. The most embarrassing thing you can do is use identical phrases from an online resume sample that most HR officers already see on a daily basis. And do what you can to jazz up the format in a way that makes your resume a stand-out. Otherwise, don't use CNA resume examples for any other reason than to compare and contrast the talent levels of various resume writing services. If you discover a writer service that claims to have vast expertise in composing certified nursing assistance resumes, then you need to ask them a few questions.
Carefully review the web site and see if the service offers additional help or tips for CNAs. Are they proficient in using certified nursing assistance keywords?

Pundit Niall Ferguson constructed a Twitter-based index that calculates relative prestige as the ratio of tweets to followers.
There is debate among economists and social scientists about which ratio is the most accurate.
The ratio tends to be steady--a little lower in recessions, a litlte higher in booms.
From that, they extracted the ratio of the number of deuterium atoms to the number of hydrogen atoms.
Only 23 percent favored and 71 percent opposed, a ratio of over 3-to-1 against Amendment 1.
And when we multiply a ratio by √5, what is the meaning of this operation?
Suppose we would fix the ratio at any other than the ratio of July 14th, 1870.
ratio et consilium propri ducis artes—Thought and deliberation are the qualities proper to a general.
And why may we not continue that ratio far beyond that period?
Flint glass effects a greater dispersion than crown glass nearly in the ratio of three to two.
1630s, "reason, rationale," from Latin ratio "reckoning, numbering, calculation; business affair, procedure," also "reason, reasoning, judgment, understanding," from rat-, past participle stem of reri "to reckon, calculate," also "think" (see reason (n.)). Mathematical sense "relationship between two numbers" is attested from 1650s.
ratio ra·tio (rā'shō, rā'shē-ō')
n. pl. ra·tios
Relation in degree or number between two similar things.
The relation between two quantities expressed as the quotient of one divided by the other.
A relationship between two quantities, normally expressed as the quotient of one divided by the other. For example, if a box contains six red marbles and four blue marbles, the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is 6 to 4, also written 6:4. A ratio can also be expressed as a decimal or percentage.
An expression of the relative size of two numbers by showing one divided by the other.

Indicted Judge Wants Trial Moved
She blames Newsradio 700WLW's Bill Cunningham and legal analyst Mike Allen. Indicted Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter says the two of them have made it impossible for her to get a fair trial in Hamilton County.
In court documents the attorney for Hunter argues that Cunningham and Allen who are both attorneys have violated the Ohio Rule of Professional Conduct by making public comments regarding Hunter that are clearly false or reckless.
Cunningham said about Judge Hunter on 700WLW Tuesday, "The witnesses' against her, in front of the grand jury are primarily black, she wants to make this black against white…"
Hunter has asked for a change of venue to have her case moved outside of southwest Ohio, A hearing for all the motions in the case including the possible change of venue is scheduled for June 5.
The motion goes on to say that the publicity about the case has been so pervasive and prejudicial that any attempt to seat a jury in Hamilton County would be futile.
Cunningham adds "She has held numerous public rallies, in which press releases are issued to the media, telling the media come and cover me, and then she complains about the coverage, that she set up."
The case of Judge Hunter is set for trial on September 8th before Judge Norbert Nadel. She has plead not guilty to 9 felony counts of tampering with evidence, forgery and theft in office.
She is accused of misusing a county credit card and falsifying court documents.
Bill Cunningham spoke with attorney Lisa Wells on Newsradio 700WLW, listen to the full podcast here.

Welcome to this week's "Pinterest Taught Me How To" – enjoy!!
1. How To Make Your Hair Grow – If you follow me on Instagram, you know that in the past six weeks, I have cut my hair thirteen inches! One session I did eight inches, and then I decided to go for it and go five more inches yesterday. My hair hasn't been this short in eleven years, and even though I know it is silly, and "it is just hair", I am still a little freaked. So I looked this up last night, ha! But if you want your hair to grow, there are some good tips in here.
2. How To Make Fresh Apricot & White Chocolate Cookies – Doesn't this look like the perfect summer cookie? I love that the apricot in them is fresh vs. candied! I also like how they are cooked in this picture – not too crispy and gooey in the middle. I under bake my cookies as a rule. Crispy, crunchy cookies baffle me. (unless you are my friend, Amelia, who loves them!)
3. How To Make A Tricycle Car Wash – Did you guys see this on Design Mom this week? Seriously, my kids would die over this! I should put this together because I know they would love it SO MUCH. Heck, I kind of want to play in it, too. And maybe I can run them through it every night for a "bath". (wink)
4. How To Make A Tree Swing (10 different adorable options!) – Great content here! I loved looking at all of the options for making a tree swing, and I really want to make the rope one for the kids. We have so many huge trees in our yard, we could totally do this! Swings make me happy.
5. How To Make Your Own Salt (Beach) Hair Spray – I don't have a link for this, although I have searched and searched for one! (just the photo was on Pinterest) Although I have heard great things about Bumble & Bumble saltwater spray for that perfect beachy, tousled look, I think I may try this, too. Quick, easy, and cheap! If you try this, I would love to hear your thoughts!
Have a happy weekend!

Consumer Protection Law
Consumer Protection Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
You want to contact the lawyer and explain your financial situation
lawyer may ask for some proof
you may supply it to support it
then work out a settlement
most of these lawyers want to end the case quickly and worry about bankruptcy
so many will give you a cut in balance, and time to pay
often 1-2 years to pay it off, more if you show real hardship
You can also ask for proof of debt
if the lawyer and his client lack it, they cannot collect.
Is that clear and acceptable?
yes, thanks.
Very welcome
Have a good night
Kindly click on an excellent rating for the answer.
I don't see myself having the means to pay for it. I'm working only part time receiving minimum wage. I have 2 kids ages 5 and 6. I'm going to nursing school - 2 years left. So, I'm living below the poverty line.
But of course I'm still afraid that they may garnish my wages (even though I make very little). Can they do that?
Also, I heard that after 7 years, the debt will be "off my record" in my credit report. But will the creditor still be able to collect after that? I'm thinking by then, I (hopefully) will get a nursing job and will indeed be in a better position financially.
If no assets to pay the creditor may write it off as not collectable.
It cannot collect funds you do not have
The statute of limitations is 6 years, so after that time a claim may not be pursued in court anymore.
n Washington, 75 percent of the judgment debtor's income or 40 times the minimum wage (whichever is greater) is exempt from garnishment. That means the judgment creditor only can garnish 25 percent of the judgment debtor's wages at a maximum.
Bankruptcy is a further option that can discharge the debt.
I wish you the best.
Please let me know if the answer is now acceptable
Thank you for your response. I was served last night with the court paper. It requires me to respond within 20 days. So, at this point, according to the answers I have from you, I am planning to:
Write up a reply saying that I do want to pay but I don't have money. And explain that: (1) I work part-time and I'm a part-time student. I'm also caring for my two small children alone. (2) I'm currently receiving financial assistance from the state to buy groceries. (3) The only possession I have that is worth any money is my car - a 1997 Toyota Camry with over 200,000 miles on it. But without the car, I cannot work. (4) I have no savings accounts.
My questions to you are:
(1) Is my plan a reasonable "defense"? (2) Should I attach any proof of income (W2, bank statements, tax returns) to my reply to the court?
(3) You said that in WA state, "75% of my income or 40 times the min. wage" is exempt from garnishment. Can you explain a little bit more? For example, on a monthly basis, does it mean 75% of my monthly gross income (without counting state assistance)? In WA, the min. wage is about $9. Does it mean $360 (40 x $9) each month is exempt?
I look forward to your reply. Thanks.
1. In the answer you want to generally deny. In phone discussions you can discuss finances
2. that is 75% of gross income.
3. that is correct
given your income, the creditor is not likely to even attempt a wage levy
and is more likely to work with you
Is the answer now acceptable?
Yes. Thank you.
I cannot rate your answer - the computer says you have not finished with answering my questions.
Please try now, not sure why it didnt work
Have a great weekend

RE: Goldie vs Sunny Coasts« Reply #1 on: March 03 2006 19:03:00 »
both are fun, but i swug low and stuck w/ the gold coast. reason being, the rumours are true: you can walk into a bar in surfer's and get hired, resume or not. so if you need $, hang close to surfer's. the trick is to get accommie near to surfers but not in it. i camped out in burleigh head -- so much fun. surf was mackin' all day long and trips down to snaps was a treat. if you need a job - stay gold. if you've got the dough, lay back and relax and go sunnie - calmer, less touristy, slightly off the backpacktrack. most packers usually stop in surfers and then head for fraser island.
oohh - and you're close to steve's Australian Zoo!

U cant compare the sunshine coast to the goldie. GOLD COAST RULES! I had an apartment on orchard ave in surfers for a few months nd it was the best time of my life. Surf isnt the best there but its still good and if u have a car u can get to some top quality breaks not too far down the coast. Enjoy it but take plenty of cash tho -Ij- pommie surfer - goldcoaster wannabe. I will be back!!

George Takei vs. Antonin Scalia's "repugnant" views on homosexuality: Time for a lunch date?
Star Trek star and LGBT activist George Takei has added his well-recognized voice to the outcry against U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's comments about homosexuality.
For those just tuning in, Scalia's comments were prompted by freshman and openly gay student Duncan Hosie, who questioned Scalia at a Princeton University appearance on December 11 about Scalia's past dissent on gay rights cases.
"It's a form of argument that I thought you would have known, which is called the 'reduction to the absurd'," Scalia said, explaining his views. "If we cannot have moral feelings against homosexuality, can we have it against murder? Can we have it against these other things? It's a reduction to the absurd."
These remarks came on the heels of the Supreme Court's decision to review gay-marriage cases involving California's Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act.
In an interview on MSNBC on December 12, Takei called Scalia's views "repugnant". He also called for Scalia to recuse himself from ruling on cases involving Prop 8 or DOMA.
"He is clearly biased in this situation so how can he look at the issue and make a judgement fairly?" Takei said.
As also mentioned in the MSNBC interview, Takei talked about how he had previously spoken with Donald Trump over lunch about marriage equality on December 5 after learning about Trump's lack of support for gay marriage. Takei also spoke about about his chat with Trump (as well as the Japanese American Internment) in this interview on The Last Word. Much to Takei's surprise, Trump had been receptive to Takei's request to talk to him about the issue.
Hmm, could a lunch date be in store for Takei and Scalia in the near future? Let's hope it's before the Supreme Court hears the Prop 8 and DOMA cases in March 2013.

FESTA brings the inner city to life
FESTA brings the inner city to life with the
spectacular LUXCITY
21 October 2012
Media Release: Festival of Transitional Architecture (FESTA)
For immediate release
FESTA - Festival of Transitional Architecture
20-28 October 2012
Last night, inner city Christchurch came alive in spectacular fashion with LUXCITY, the opening night event for the inaugural Festival of Transitional Architecture (FESTA).
From 6.30pm until midnight, thousands of Christchurch residents and visitors passed through the 16 light-based installations designed by architecture and design students from around the country. The atmosphere was a mixture of reflection and excitement.
Christchurch residents engaged with the memories of old buildings and gathering places lost, and at the same time were inspired by the new possibilities created by the students in conversation with their Christchurch-based partners. These included: Black Betty, Cassels Brewery, The Darkroom, Richard Till, White Elephant Trust, Volstead, Pure Pulp, Free Theatre, Fledge, Infinite Definite, The Twisted Hop, Beach Bar, Lyttelton Coffee Company, Southern Espresso Rescue and P.O.D.
The enthusiastic crowd spanned a wide spectrum of the Christchurch population. It was a truly unique way to reengage with the city and has the organisers excited about planning new events that engage positively with the transitional phase in the city's immediate future.
FESTA director Jessica Halliday was delighted with the response: "The argument we have made, and that I think was in evidence last night, is that the rebuild of Christchurch can be led by creative and collaborative effort in a way that invites the public to participate. The people of Christchurch returned life to the vacant city centre in response to this unique urban atmosphere. They are eager to reinhabit the centre of their city. We can't thank the students and their Christchurch-based partners enough for the hard work that has gone into making this event such an extraordinary experience."
Several of the installations incorporated large-scale machinery, used over the past two years to demolish nearly 80 per cent of the central city. At LUXCITY it was put to creative use with cranes and other machinery donated by Smith Cranes and Construction, Leighs Construction and Ceres Environmental used to support and suspend the light elements.
FESTA received funding from Creative New Zealand, the Christchurch City Council (through its support of the Gap Filler Charitable Trust) and the Todd Foundation.
The nine-day Festival continues today with a presentation on transitional approaches to planning Christchurch by Masters of Architecture Students from The University of Auckland from 1.30-3pm at DL lecture theatre at CPIT. Then from 4-6pm, hear stories about Gap Filler's Dance-O-Mat and learn three different styles of dance in a speed dancing session. Tomorrow, there is an opportunity to learn about the modular temporary outdoor furniture commissioned by the Christchurch City Council at 3pm outside Central Library Tuam at 121 Tuam Street. On Tuesday evening a tour of the AMI Stadium will be led by one of its architects, Chris Paterson of Populous from 5.30-6.30pm; book for the tour by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Walking along the beach. The continental breakfast, 4pm snacks and 8pm snacks.
big and beautiful room with kitchen, outside swimming pool and jacuzzi, close to the West Beach, free Cheese, Wine, Milk and Cookies in the evening simple breakfast in a very little room, not enoug tables for everyone, little bit far from statestreet (downtown) for dinner
Our mattress was very old and misshappen. It was replaced after one night..however, this should not have happened in the first place..
The room was comfortable and the hotel location is within easy walking distance from the beach, wharf, and downtown restaurants.
The rooms were clean and comfy. The wine evening service and the breakfast were lovely. I thought the beds a bit too soft but the linens and amenities were nice.
A clean, comfortable motel with a good level of onsite car parking. Great afternoon complimentary wine & cheese and reasonable light breakfast.The staff were great and easy to deal with. A little "out on the fringe" with a 15 minute walk to Stearns Wharf/town centre shopping.
Super friendly staff, newly remodeled bathroom, wine & cheese hour, clean room, late check-out, free parking & Internet, spacious room - they gave us the largest room! Couldn't sleep well because of the street noise - cars, motorcycles, delivery trucks, garbage pick-up
Very cute little resort motel in very nice area of Santa Barbara.
They could not write the company name in invoice.
It is a great comfortable place to stay. Bathroom could have been cleaner vents are very dirty need dusting and cleaning. Had a great time pool and spa are very nice and clean. Breakfast was good very relaxing and great location can walk pretty much everywhere. Bikes were nice too.
The ambiance of the entire facility Shower plumbing was not working properly slow drain. Was reported.
Beautiful place near the harbour. The hotel is located near the 101 road so too much traffic (continuous flow of cars and trucks going through).The place is definately too expensive for the location.
We wanted a to stay somewhere special for the last night of our holiday and we got exactly tht with this hotel. We booked a standard queen room but were fortunate to be upgraded to the Fireside Suite. This has a sitting room, king sized bedroom and two bathrooms, all beautifully decorated and with solid oak furniture. The hotel provides a luxury breakfast, complimentary bottle of champagne in the room, cheese & wine in reception early evening and milk and cookies at bedtime. A beautiful hotel and we'd happily stay there again - even without an upgrade. Nothing at all
Enjoyed the vintage charm and ambiance. Beautiful and relaxing with a very friendly staff. Cozy cottages. Beds were too squeaky and the slightly thin walls between your neighbors
Perfect match for grown-ups on State Street in Austin. Victorian, main house w/ reception & restaurant, rooms in separate buildings, but faithful, older victorian buildings. Tall rooms, updated baths. Slept in, so it must have been good.. I liked most everything.
Quiet, friendly staff, great accommodations, great Food. Heater too noisy. But that ok. Dealt with it by turning it off and bundling up.
Large room, comfortable beds Location near park with large amount of homeless people but close to the pier where we had dinner. We decided to drive, however, eventhough we could have walked due to the neighborhood. Continental breakfast was O.K.
So much to love about this inn... Offers an old Santa Barbara charm-early 20th century design that has been well mainted. Staff was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable of the area (dining, wining, and local history). Continental breakfast in the morning and wine and cheese in the afternoon. Free beach cruiser bikes for use while staying and a vast selection of DVDs for viewing (also free). Complete with pool and hot tub (importantly hidden from street view. Just off the beach within easy waking distance to art, music, wine, food, Santa Barbara train station and fun (aka "the Funk Zone"). Loved our stay! Only suggestion is to include an updated cutting board for the kitchen. Original equipment is usually great but not in this particular case.
This hotel was majorly over priced for what effectively is a motel.Thay did try hard to add bits to make it a hotel but failed miserabley.its also close to a park thats full of homeless The room smelled funny
My newlywed husband and I got upgraded to a King Suite, it was perfect and in a great location!
I loved the free bikes for rent, great touch
Great place to stay. Nice rooms and lovely atmosphere Nothing at all
Staff was very friendly, rooms were clean, beds were comfortable. Great value. Free movies, free bicycles, and free parking. I wish we could've stayed longer.
I liked the proximity to East Beach where the Santa Barbara triathlon was held since I was a participant. The sliding glass door was heavy and needed to be oiled so it can slide open easier.
Beach No air conditioning
Easy beach access and perfect for a romantic getaway! Friendly staff, location, and rates
Walking out of my room and seeing the beach just across Cabrillo was swell. It made it easy to watch the sun set.
Great location right infront of the beach. Close to restaurants, parks and the pier!
Location Facility is dated.
The location is very close to the watefront and a short cab ride from downtown The front desk staff was incredibly rude and the rooms are generally pretty crummy for the prices that you're paying. Everything in Santa Barbara is pretty pricey this time of year though.

Atkins' teachers, students to hold Summer Jam
Teachers and students of Atkins Music Center will hold Summer Jam 2014 on Saturday at Murphy Hall in Connellsville.
The Jams began in the summer of 2013 as a way for the students of Atkins to have the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned and to share their talents with anyone who enjoys a variety of music being sung and played on an assortment of instruments.
Atkins Music Center owner Denise Friel sees the Jams as a way for the students, who are dedicated to practicing and learning, to then showcase their talents for family, friends and the community.
The Atkins teachers who will participate with their students are Gene McFadden, Stephen Gallo, Sandy Millward, Jane Staranko, Amber Trump and Dave Quairiere.
"The students will perform solo and with instructors," Friel said. "Students have also been encouraged to perform their own original material.
"We will again have Britney Mongell and her father Ron Mongell doing a banjo and guitar duet with vocals. Also, Emma Evans and her grandfather Darrell Evans will present a violin duet," she added.
Several students from the Atkins studios of Millward, Staranko and Trump will play piano solos.
Ben Millward, husband of Sandy, from Backwards Productions, will be doing sound and lending a hand with the students' performances.
"The Summer and Winter Jams last year were successful and fun for everyone," McFadden said. "Denise has provided a unique opportunity for the Atkins Music Center students and the community to share the experience of music.
