It was great and nicely located to sightsee in Dresden. Everything was very clean and the staff was friendly. I enjoyed the morning breakfast. The bed was more firm than what I prefer.
Great breakfast. Perfect location. Very convenient to jump on tram and go into city. Easy car drive to Saxonny Swiss National Park area. Naked people in sauna & steam bath area, apparently for the older German folks that's traditional. Not a pretty site. Some of them got rude and left because we left swimsuits on. Indoor swimming pool too cold.
The access to public transport was really great, trams stop fairly often and seem to drive all night. This is ideal if you want to visit the city, but don't want to be in the city center The hotel is close to a road which can be very noisy. If you bring ear plugs this is probably no problem. Everything was fairly OK about the hotel, but certainly not outstanding; we expected more from a 4 star hotel. Still, it is very good value for money, compared to the other hotels.
Very good hotel. Comfortable, clean and very good value for money, staff are friendly and helpful. Nothing at all.
Kind and friendly staff, the welcome warmth
breakfast, bathroom, restaurant, the area around the hotel: building construction, parking not enough spaces, hot room
great room, bathroom and service. Very nice and helpfull hotel and restaurant people. Good breakfast.Carparking. From the hotel easy access to the city by bus and tram.
Very good choice at breakfast. Room was too warm.
The restaurant was really delicious and not expensive. Breakfast very good with a wide range of choices. Staff very helpful. The room was little, too little for a 4stars
very good place, clear room, good price, Hotel with 4 stars dont have swiming pool, bath.
The room was well suited for Families. They even provided bowels or dishes for my dog! The play room was not completed although it was advertised on the website and at the hotel.
quiet surroundings too far from the center of the city
Beautiful room/apartment. Delightful reception, staffed with friendly and helpful people. Charming restaurant - excellent food. Convenient location in quiet leafy side street and good for public transport. Luggage trolleys available. Underground parking available. Due to the size of my car I had to park on the street 100yds away but had no problem there
very large comfortable rooms. Staff extremely helpful. Near to tram stops to get into city centre. Would definitly stay here again. breakfast a bit too expensive
very quiet, free internet connection, nice bar
Quiet and comfortable. Modest but very nice interiors. Well communicated with the city centre - bus/tram. On hotter days lack of air conditioning may be a problem.
The cleanliness and the quiet atmosphere. It's a bit far from the city center. However, there're direct trams and bus to the city center.
Friendly helpful staff made my stay even more enjoyable. I would certainly recommend the hotel and I hope to come again in the future. Nothing to dislike.
Very large suite/room (separate bedroom) in a clean hotel very close to the motorway. Excellent for a family. Car Park in basement. Tram into Dresden (15 mins) is within 200m and the helpful staff at reception sold us family day tickets for the Dresden area (?6) and wider area for trip to Meissen (?14, so never needed to use car.
It was a good price and the personnel that worked there were incredibly friendly and helpful. A little further away from the city center than I thought...but it was helpful there was a street car only a few hundred feet away.
The food was excellent. Roadworks affected the access to the hotel.
This a beautiful hotel, with good sized elegant rooms, attentive staff, and a brilliant chef. It has spa facilities but we did not usethem.
Loved the hotel. The staff were terrific! Offered a welcome drink when we brought the bags in. We accepted. It was on the bill. It was a lovely glass of wine. Just the way it was offered, I was surprised about the charge. The breakfast was lovely. Staff were very helpful.
staff and food excellent none
The staff was extremely helpful and very, very friendly The breakfast buffet was overprized ($ 22.-- p. person)
Very personal service with high quality facilities and food.
Hotel with excellent location for resting, with a living vibrant atmosphere and a very nice spa. The hotel staff was nice and helpful. Our room was perfectly clean and supremely big. The service of the staff was splendid. Thanks for the great detail of the fruit plate and the Champagne in the room, we were very surprise. For the first time we were sorry just to stay one single night, and also sorry to arrive so late that we where not able to try the restaurant. Very nice and exquisite breakfast.
Superb in every respect. We look forward to returning. The hotel is about 15 minutes by taxi from the city centre. We were quite happy with this, but some guests may find it a disadvantage.
very nice hotel, large and nice room
Beautiful Hotel with lots of ammenities for a decent price.
convenient cooking facilities and parking not close to Dresden city center
location, service, food, easy access to tram and city. Parking; helpful staff. no air circulation in the room other than open window. Fan would help.
Quiet hotel with great access to the city
good hotel for price
easy connection to downtown Dresden
Good locality. Close to public transport (Tram# 1 &12). Spacious room, very clean, suitable for family Directions to reach the hotel were not clearly communicated. No AC in room, hence noise from road comes into the room when you keep the windows open during Summer.
This hotel locates a bit outside of the city. But tram No7 is available from early in the morning to late evening. Tram stop is just a 7-8 minutes walk. Breakfast was very nice.
The rooms room very nice and clean. The gardens were beautiful. The food very good. Very nice and quiet. We definitely recommend this hotel. The restaurant was wonderful. Very relaxing. Away from the noise of the city.
very nice the park. Excellent the breakfast, in an excellent restaurant. Large parking place. The service was very kind and helpfull. Peyage WIFI internet, which did not work in the room.
We arrived late and were accommodated in a nice restaurant with a fine meal. It was a pleasant and appealing restaurant. The room was modern and well kept. Everything was first class. Everything was better than anticipated... no complaints.
I was well kept, low cost and right on my way.
when there is partyes in the hotel, isn`t possibel to have dinner in the restaurant, we must take into the town
hotel garden nothing
Breakfast The room was like an ice-box, roomcleaning very bad, very complicated to find it
the restaurant was good. As well in the evening as in the morning. The rooms are a little bit sober.
The restaurant serves very good food. The staffs are very friendly and the room is very cozy.
The staff was nice and the atmosphere was very friendly, one could feel like at home. Breakfast buffet was poor
Very good location in quiet residential district with excellent public transport links to all parts of city. Large comfortable single room - bigger than many doubles I've stayed in. Friendly, helpful staff - a real fa,ily run feel. Nothing
At your web side is that hotel is central located, and it was far from the old city
I liked the quality/price rate, btw the hotel was a bit "old style", but the staff, which didn't speak english, was very very kind and helped us also to find the way to reach the town centre by the tram. Excellent for a maximum 2 nights staying. A little old hotel, needs to be refurbished.
The breakfast was superb and evening in the bar convivial
Very clean, but plain accommodation with an excellent buffet breakfast. Staff were very friendly and spoke some English We would have liked coffee facilities in our room, however when we checked out and spoke to the receptionist about this she indicated that if we requested this on booking the hotel would be happy to provide this facility.
Close to city, very clean, comfortable, quiet, affordable and breakfast was excellent. Staff very helpful as well.
It's clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful for the trip.
Extremely nice and well equipped apartment; beautiful design. Very clean. Quiet surroundings. Short trip (10 min by car) to Dresden center. Good value for money. Diner in the Hexenhaus is very good.
Very charming place with friendly staff. Restaurant was good and the room comfortable and spotless. Ample street parking. Fyi some staff speak almost no english, but this is our problem, we should know more german! We were able to communicate fine and really enjoyed our stay in this charming historical place. Would recommend. Difficult to find and really need a car to get to center (or a decent walk to train). It was worth it though as garage parking was easy to find in center. Internet did not work, so plan accordingly. Still recommend if you dont mind being out of the center and do not depend on internet access.
Very kind staff, beautiful stylish old building
This gem of a hotel was the best place we stayed during our European holiday. The apt we had was charming and absolutely spotless, and the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone. The attached restaurant was wonderful, too, and the breakfasts were generous, delicious and perfectly displayed. 5 stars!! No - our stay was nothing short of perfect.
The hotel consists of two buildings which are both beautifully restored and very charming, both inside and out. Our room even had a patio and a table outside.The staff was very friendly and the German breakfast was delicious. We wished we had returned in time for dinner, as the hotel also has a restaurant which looked very nice. Be aware that it is a 10 minute walk to the tram and a 15 minute tram ride to get to the Old Town.
The apartment is spacious, new and quite lovely with a ground floor and loft. Strangely though for an apartment the cooking facility consists only of an electric hot plate which makes cooking difficult and there is no iron or ironing board or washing machine. The location is ok if you have a car but requires a bus or a walk and then a tram into the city centre and is in the middle of a construction site although this is not that noisy, just not pretty to look at if you sit outside.. Did discover though that we could get internet when we walked to the main house and asked but not told this on arrival.. We had a constant stream of people walking past, some peering in, which required us to have all our curtains drawn day and night. The apartment information is not in English which made it difficult for us. The girl at the hotel was pleasant and helpful but we did need some more info in English
Quaint, practical, good and efficient systems and bi-lingual staff. Excellent standard of renovation of a period house.
The extra caring attitude of the personnel. They exceeded every one of our wishes. Truely an outstanding stay. Absolutely nothing. It was great.
The most characteristic accommodation we stayed at during our 3 weeks in Germany! The rooms are a good size, the bathroom modern and a very quiet location. Staff were very accommodating. Internet is free but not available in the rooms which are located across the road from the main building which means sitting in the restaurant with diners (restaurant was full in the evening). An 800 metre walk to public transport and not much to choose from in the evenings to eat out in the area.
The staff was very helpful, the food was wonderful and the rooms were charming. There was some difficulty initially with the rooms we had booked but this was resolved the next morning.
A welcome reception, nice restaurant and excellent breakfast
Very friendly personnel, helpful and homely. Quiet neighborhood, but easy to reach by car (bring a map though). Decent breakfast. The pillows were quite terrible, so you might want to bring one of your own. It was not allowed to take anything with you from breakfast. But probably they had a lot of customers that exploited breakfast, so not a really big problem.
The quiet place of the hotel. The view from the room. No firealaram in the room.
Nothing special, but fair place to stay. Nice building.
Easy to find - well signposted from the motorway. Easy travel into the City Centre by public transport with tickets available at the hotel for tourist and regular transport. Very friendly and helpful staff. No lift.
The owner made a big effort to be friendly & helpful We booked a twin room, but it was prepared as a double room. It was very small; more suitable as a single room. There was also an unpleasant smell in the room which we couldn't identify the source of. The breakfast was very simple and disappointing. Also, the decor of the hotel is very dated and would benefit from modernising.
Nice. large rooms. Good breakfast and helpful staff Not quite close to the centre, but public transport connection is adequate. Internet description how to get to the hotel by car should be improved: it is much easier than the text suggests.
Everything Placed a litle far from city centre
The hotel rooms are a good size for the price and the provision of kitchen facilities is a nice bonus. It was hot when we stayed so the ability to open the windows fully was good. The bathroom was clean, the shower worked well and there was constant hot water. A taxi into town cost about 7-8e and there is a tram stop close by. The breakfast room is a little undersized if the hotel is full and we had to wait 10-15 mins for a table.
Excellent buffet breakfast, pleasant location, good connection to city centre Instructions on how to reach the hotel are too short and misleading; the system of hotel routes does not always work well in Dresden (as a result of which we drove 50 km before finally finding the hotel)
The hotel room was big with a high ceiling and great little kitchen area. Nice amount of drawer & closet space. Hotel staff were nice. Although there was no air conditioning, 2 big windows could open, each with 2 sides, plus each had a top window. The refrigerator was superb for holding whatever needed Cheerful breakfast room with lots of windows. Restaurant across street was good. Breakfast at hotel was fine. We got used to the trams & buses. I had not realized there were no non-smoking rooms. Before checking in, the person at the desk said it would be fine to check out the room for any smoke smell to see if it was OK & it was OK. I will remember to use the booking.com "Facilities: Non-smoking rooms category. The tram ride from the Hauptbahnof was about 15 min. Then it was a 10 minute walk to the hotel or can use #90 bus which stops near hotel.
Located across the street from a beautiful city park in a nice neighborhood, this clean, well staffed hotel offers an excellent breakfast!
Bed was good - bathroom large and the water was running good - Shower best - best wardrobe to Hang up all clothes Good view in the Green Park But Traffic Noise when Windows open Breakfast good and coffee best
The hotel is well connected and easy to contact people outside No
Very friendly and helpful staff; delicious buffet breakfast, best coffee I've had in a hotel! I think it is farther from the tram stop than stated in the description -- more like 1 km! It's not a problem if you like walking -- which I do.
The size of the room was a great value. There is a kitchen and a big bathroom. For Europe, this place is a bargain. The tram number 7 takes you to the altsdadt (old town) which is less than fifteen minutes from the hotel. Overall this place is a ideal for size and affordability.
Excellent facilities, very pleasant & helpful staff, very convenient for my work in Dresden (Universitätsbibliothek), close to an excellent Italian restaurant & a good German Kneipe! No
The room is really spacious, with fridge and free internet connection, overall it is definitely worth of money paid. Staff does not really speak English. Even checking out was a bit tricky. Some hand language helps.
I like the rooms. Are very big and well furnished. The hotel is not far from the city center.
Rooms comfortable, clean and very spacious. Friendly personnel. We were attended though we arrived out of reception hours. Only German is spoken. But as there was no complaint, didn't really matter.
The attitude of the staff, choice for breakfast; location it is a little bit far, but you can use public transport and tram stop is close
Good breakfast, nice staff. Good hostel for budget travelers A little bit far from city centre, a little bit noisy. Pillow is too small
Huge room with a large comforatble bed and a nice bathroom. Very clean, and one block from the the S-Bahn to town. The free parking lot was just barely large enough for 2 cars. If you need to leave before 8 - there is no breakfast.
Clean rooms, quiet district, helpful staff, good breakfast. Recommendable. Location is a bit out of center.
Heavy breakfast, nice hotel with good connection to the downtown Check in time in my reservation was until 8:00pm. I came at 7:00, the hotel was locked and noone there. After some minutes another already accomodated guest came (german speaking) who had a mobile nr. To receptionist. He called to get a code for a safe box with my room keys.
Good, clean rooms and facilities. Owner very co-operative and very friendly.
Friendly staff
The Staff was excellent in attending to details. It was immaculate in its cleanliness. Breakfast was superb in every detail. Internet worked very well. It was quiet. I would highly recommend it. If we go back to Dresden we would make this our first choice.
Staff was very pleasant. The room was very nice. The bathroom was very clean.
The owner was very friendly and helpful. The room was large, clean and with modern furnishings. King size bed, light and airy. He provided a sunstantial and well prepared breakfast. We plan to stay there again.
A clean, well kept hotel outside the city centre. Not really.
This hotel is lovely, very quiet and just a few tram stops from the city centre. Our room was comfortable, clean and wide. Lovely breakfast too!

He was more finely bred than any American she had met, with his bone-china accent, willowy height and languid wit.
Contemporary art and willowy blondes only take you so far, it turns out.
For my part, I think I am the prettier of the two on account of my long, willowy tail-feathers.
Standing beside him, she was just a bit shorter than he, willowy, almost frail.
In figure he was long and willowy, and reminded me irresistibly of an unhealthy cellar-grown potato plant.
"No, I'm just too nervous to eat any more," said the tall, willowy one.
Bella was aristocratic in her looks, as tall and slim and willowy as a young sapling.
Many a time too she had looked upon her slim and willowy sisters and felt her heart burn with envy.
He was tall and slender like a wand, and of a willowy suppleness of figure, and he was terribly serious touching on his mission.
He was tall and willowy, with a slight neck, very white and long, delicate as a girl's.

Personality Test
Design by nathanwpyle at gmail.com
Outside of shaving my cat, I have done all of these things.
WAIT for the slow animation to see a few color options and placement.
Thanks to all you cool people who helped critique my design!
If I can figure out how, I'm going to put a higher res version on my profile page.
cool idea, but by first looking you can not really see what letter is chosen
haha! Some wacky multiple choices here.
or maybe im just too stupid ^^
This is great, but I'm sure it would take more effort to shave the cat than clean up the hair...If it were up to me I would have wrapped the cat in cling film (leaving necessary openings uncovered of course) just because I too am awesome. 5$ though.
Very Funny stuff
and nicely done too!!
Haha, this is super! Would totally buy it if it was printed.
I think the blow-dryer part kind of ruins it for the guys.
Oh, and so does the urinal for the girls. Maybe it could have been a regular toilet.
so good! hahaha
I don't get the bathroom one, though. Too lazy to wash your hands, so you sabotage the urinal?
OH WAIT, you flush it with your foot.
I get it.
ahhahaha $5.
The shaved cat does it for me. Good stuff!
haaa..this make me laugh,,,,great one!!! Result: You are totally awesome with ideas! $5
lmao 5$ id buy it
hehehehe funny..
Haha! This is great. I like it on green.
Hahaha I flush with my feet all the timeee man. This is cool :P
Thanks! Yes, I do too. And then I wash my hands anyway. Truth be told.
lol your name is a gmail account
I know! And it's really my name too. Makes it easier to remember.
I dig your infographic btw
Wwooww... Nniiccee iiddeeaa!
you are awesome! 5$
The best way to prove to her that you are awesome is to buy the shirt.
I use my foot to flush AND I wash my hands. Cool design!
Sweet man!
Thanks for all the love! A new design drops later this week...
Is this the mystery design?

We might not look like Jordan or play like Paganini or paint like Toulouse-Lautrec.
From Prague, Paganini went to Berlin, where he remained four months.
They say that Paganini sold his soul to the Ashmodai for a fiddle.
Did Paganini influence the art of violin playing, and in what direction?
This explains in a measure Paganini's inferior rank as a composer.
A Paganini will have a Tourte bow, and so will every other great master, if he can get one.
He also arranged the second set of Paganini's caprices, Opus 10.
Paganini heard it when in Venice in 1816, but whether he then composed the variations is not certain.
But Paganini evidently didn't like it when it came to three-quarters.
Why, madam, this morning Paganini has not played at all—he has not even touched a bow.

It is not often on Drive On that we get to tell you about great art, but we've come across something that certainly qualifies. It's a kinetic artwork, four years in the making, currently on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art that's all about cars -- more than 1,000 of them at any given time.
It's sort of like an aluminum version of a giant Hot Wheels track, complete with buildings and trains, all going at a breathtaking pace. It's called Metropolis II for good reason, for it aims to evoke "the energy of a city," in the words of artist Chris Burden.
The work captures not only the look of all those cars whizzing by, but the din, as well. When the work is gradually shut off, the silence is deafening.

Originally posted on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 1/3/13
Between now and the Houston Texans' 3:30 p.m. kickoff Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals, you will see reams of analysis and scouting objectives. But that's for the lamestream. This is the alternative Texans scouting report. Offense Matt Schaub, Quarterback Middle name is Rutledge, meaning he was one step away from being a lacrosse player who wears deck shoes all the time. Father of 1-year-old twin girls. Never eludes a pass rusher, but partially makes up for it by completing more than his share of passes while being clobbered. Arian Foster, RB Studied philosophy in college and had to have been the only guy in the whole department who actually took it seriously. Refers to himself as "an aspiring human being." Tweets things like, "The awaken feel me." Moves faster than it looks like he's moving. Great vision. Doesn't break a lot of tackles. Andre Johnson, WR Actually sort of a funny guy, but speaks in a deep monotone than subverts his sense of humor. Went to The U, is good friends with Ed Reed. Greatest player in Texans history. Takes more than one guy to shut him down. Kevin Walter, WR Always runs the right direction, never drops the ball. Appears to be in peak physical condition. One of those people that you just know looks exactly the same now as they did at age 8. Owen Daniels, TE He'll be the guy running a looping crossing pattern over the middle. Actually, that's every receiver on every Texans pass play, but his looping crossing patterns are the best. James Casey, football player The differences between James Casey and Tim Tebow are that Tebow is more popular and Casey has a better throwing motion. Otherwise, they're both considered good at football even though professional coaches can't seem to figure out how to use them. Mostly Casey plays fullback, which he's not great at. He also loves hurdling defenders. The offensive line There's the left side, with tackle Duane Brown and guard Wade Smith, and it's good. Then there's the center, Chris Myers, and he's good. Then there's the right side and, oh, you know they've had to move a lot of people around over there. Defense J.J. Watt, DE Having the best season ever recorded by a pizza delivery boy. Widely credited as the first player in football history to realize that putting your hands up can knock down a pass. A little bit more into personal accolades than most players would admit to being. Shaun Cody, DT Considered the team's primary jokester. Wears a mustache ironically. Once intercepted a batted ball and began referring to himself as Cody Island. Not having his best season. Antonio Smith, DE Probably the team's most spontaneously funny person. Has worked, with moderate success, to create a ninja persona for himself. Houston's most underrated defensive player. Connor Barwin, OLB The Texans' resident hipster. Goes to lots of concerts to watch obscure bands and lives near downtown, which, like, nobody does. Came up with the idea for the whole team to wear letterman's jackets to New England. Having a puzzlingly unproductive season (3.5 sacks) after blowing up for 11.5 sacks last year. Tim Dobbins, ILB Best known for knocking out Jay Cutler. Probably the third-best of six Iowa State players in the NFL. Bradie James, ILB Signed to replace DeMeco Ryans after Ryans was traded to Philadelphia. Has not had more than 77 tackles in a season since 2010. Was attractive because of his familiarity with defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, who coached him in Dallas. Brooks Reed, OLB Houston's most Tarzanian player.

Why was my cousin once removed? Maybe that's why my family dispensed with the first cousin, second cousin, and once removed nomenclature when referring to cousins: They knew I'd ask a bunch of questions, most of which would begin with "Why…" Cousins were just "cousins."
"Once removed" doesn't sound anything like it means. Unlike its general use in the English vernacular, when it's used to describe family relationships, removed simply means from a different generation. I now think of it as "more distant in age." A first cousin once removed might be a first cousin of my parents' generation or my children's generation. (See Genealogy.com's primer.) Continue reading »

Chickenhare (original 2006; edition 2013)
by Chris Grine
Work details
The House of Klaus by Chris Grine (2006)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I picked this book up at half price books out of pure curiosity. It ended up being a cute and somewhat bizarre middle grade graphic novel and I enjoyed it.
Chickenhare (yes, he is half chicken and half hare) and Abe (a turtle with a strange beard) are sold to an evil taxidermist named Klaus. Klaus is obsessed with strange animals and Chickenhare and Abe must escape before they are stuffed. They end up escaping with two other strange animals, Meg and Banjo, into a deep dark cave where they find that there are other dangers outside of Klaus that are just as deadly. Oh, and I should mention that Chickenhare is being haunted by the ghost of a goat...yes it all ties together eventually.
This is a well done but very bizarre graphic novel. The theme throughout is pretty morbid. Basically Klaus is a very emotionally damaged man who likes to snuggle with the dead animals he kills and stuffs...this man has serious mental issues.
It gets even weirder when Chickenhare finds the dead rotting body of the goat who has been haunting him. The goat, Buttons, decides to reinhabit his dead body and then for the vast portion of the story Chickenhare is dragging around a dead goat body.
All the above being said, despite the morbid oddness of this story I ended up liking it. I can honestly say I have never read anything like this book. It was well written and engaging...and just downright strange.
The illustration throughout is brightly colored, easy to follow, and very well done. However, I do have a bit of trouble figuring out what demographic this was written for. It's targeted at a middle grade audience but I think it might be a bit too out there for most kids in that age group to really get it. That, and as I said, it's pretty darn morbid.
Overall this was an entertaining and bizarre graphic novel. I ended up enjoying it and it's very different from other middle grade fantasy graphic novels out there. I would recommend to fans of the Bones graphic novels by Jeff Smith or the Amulet graphic novels by Kazu Kibuishi. However, this graphic novel isn't as good as either of those… That being said I will probably go ahead and read the next one in the series because it was well done and was strange enough to intrigue me.
As I was entering this book into my database I discovered that it had been published previously by Dark Horse. No mention of this is made on the copyright page. Fortunately sample pages of the original, still in print, are available online for viewing and after comparing them I can see that the new edition by Scholastic has first and foremost been colourized (the original is b/w) and secondly been edited to make it more suitable for children. I get the feeling the original was written for an older audience. Example of edits from the sample: "idiots" becomes "fools"; "You suck" becomes "You smell like cheese". I liked this book; it is a dark, creepy story that deals with abuse though the subject matter may fly over the heads of the publisher's recommended age group 8-12. A more mature mind readily sees the sometimes implied dark world and violence hiding very close to the surface. There is a dead animal who comes back to life complete with broken legs and rib bones visible. The animal ran away because he was abused but blames himself for his tormentor's now murderous evil ways ... if only he had stayed!? All the bad guys meet their fate at the end in quite gruesome ways. So, overall the story is quite deceiving from the cute cover and artwork found within. Now, personally, I like dark, creepy stories and read this very quickly in one sitting finding it's black humour witty, seeing the message below the surface, and a fun read. However, I'm not sure I would recommend it to Scholastic's audience. I let my 13yo read it and he didn't get it. His verdict was "weird" as he handed the book back to me.
Meh. Not much story to the story. Or humor...
"Chickenhare" is an all aged, vibrantly flavored graphic novel with a a uniquely playful cast of characters who can't seem to stay out of trouble. Chickehare is exactly what it sounds like , a part chicken, part hare, making him the rarest animal ever to be found. Barley has taken Chickenhare and Abe, the turtle, and is going to sell them to a a crazy man who likes to stuff animals, dress them up and place them in cabinets. While sitting in his cage, he meets Banjo and Meg and together they come up with a pan to escape. Of course once they escape it becomes a race to not be caught. Can Chickehare and his friends make it to safety before getting hurt or snatched up again?
This is a must have book to add to your home library, to give as a gift, or an easy way to encourage children to love reading. I know you will enjoy this book as much as I did.
ChickenHare is a graphic novel series picked up by Scholastic's Graphix imprint. They've been touting it as a successor to Bone, but my gn friends said it really wasn't that good. Well, being the book skeptic that I am, I just had to see for myself. Warning: Ahead there be spoilers.
So, it's not so much that it's not good (although it's pretty humdrum art and overall text - looks like every other full color, clean-lined graphic novel Graphix puts out really) it's more that it's COMPLETELY FREAKING WEIRD INSANITY.
The story opens with a guy walking through the snow with what appears to be a rabbit and a turtle in his backpack and he informs them he's going to sell them to this crazy taxidermist. His name is Mr. Klaus. He looks like Santa Claus, except for the...uh...badly taxidermied animals he keeps fondling. They make a bid for freedom by insulting the picture of the taxidermist's long-lost...friend (I really, really hope they were just friends) goat Mr. Buttons. Mr. Buttons appears to have gotten tired of being beaten and run away forty years previously. The rabbit is really the rare ChickenHare and the turtle is a whiskered chelonai. They are imprisoned in bird cages with two other weird animals, a monkey-like creature named Banjo and a somewhat psychotic elf-like girl named Meg who has spunky female heroine written all over her. We discover the turtle's name is Abe, but ChickenHare is just...ChickenHare. They manage to escape, breaking the legs of the jailer in the process and damaging the butler. Mr. Klaus forces them to get into his sleigh and go after his fleeing taxidermy subjects anyways. ChickenHare gets separated from the other animals, who meet some strange little creatures who keep saying that Banjo is a "krampus" which is apparently something bad. ChickenHare meanwhile follows the ghost of a goat and discovers the body of Mr. Buttons - he fell into a crevice, broke his legs, and starved to death. His ghost has just been waiting for someone to come along and thaw his frozen body a little so he can get back in. They all meet up again (including the broken-legged corpse of Mr. Buttons) and have a battle. Mr. Buttons lures Mr. Klaus over the ice and they plunge into a freezing lake and die (well, sort of, the goat was already dead...). The weird little creatures have a feast, Mr. Buttons' ghost shows up and says all is well, and after discovering that the feast was Mr. Klaus' butler and his other servants (YES THEY WERE EATING PEOPLE OMG) they set out on their journey home.
Verdict: I...have no words to describe this. I mean, I don't mind serious subjects in a kids' comic but this makes no sense. "Oh, yeah, in this world Santa is a psychotic, brutal taxidermist" and "sure, let's just eat the bad guys" coupled with the typical kidsy art of Graphix kind of blows my mind. Especially the subtext of Mr. Buttons - stay with an abusive person so they don't hurt anyone else. I can see kids reading this, but I can't see myself spending any of the library's budget on it. I think I'll buy new copies of Bone instead.

mma operational concepts
I have a Powerbook 170 8/80 at home (along with a Sigma
PowerPortrait) and a NeXTstation 32/(400+1.2) at the office and got
to thinking I should standardize on one symbolic manipulation package
rather than running Mathematica on the NeXTstation and Maple on the
Powerbook. My impression (based on hearsay) is that Mathematica is
too much of a resource hog to run effectively on the Powerbook which
would seem to indicate that Maple is the winner and I should buy a
copy for the NeXT.
HOWEVER, I got to thinking some more (a dangerous thing, I know) and
started toying with the concept of buying a couple of 14.4 modems for
the machines and running the kernel on the NeXT and the front end on
the Powerbook/PowerPortrait. I was wondering if anybody had
implemented a similar configuration and, if so, what their impression
was of the setup?
Thanks much,

Agron's most notable role to date is likely as Quinn Fabray, a high school cheerleader, on the FOX series Glee, which has received high ratings and critical acclaim since the series began in September 2009.
Everyone loves Louis Vuitton, and creative director Nicolas Ghesquirere's latest lineup had the undivided attention of Hollywood's A-listers during the Fall/Winter 2015 presentation at Paris Fashion Week.
Front row mainstays Kim Kardashian and Kanye West looked to be enjoying themselves as they peeped the gorgeous supermodels that paraded past.

Joined by Piaget managing director Philippe Leopold-Metzger, the "Help" actress was ravishing in a red dress as she chatted with industry bigwigs.
Despite the outrage in Tinseltown over the recent naughty photo leaks, Dianna Agron is showing off her own skin-bearing picture on social media.
The former "Glee" actress uploaded an image of herself topless, though she censored out her lady pillows with a black rectangle.
New York City's Central Park was the place to be for celebrity-watching and great music as the 2014 Global Citizen Festival kicked off on Saturday (September 27), hosted by Hugh Jackman.
"99 Problems" hitmaker Jay Z took the stage for a high-energy set and even brought out his wife Beyoncé Knowles for a pair of ditties. Jay told the 60,000-member audience, "We out here for a good cause. I want to thank everybody out here for this good movement."
There's nothing like the pain of being cheated on, and Dianna Agron expertly captures the mood in Sam Smith's music video for "I'm Not the Only One."
In the clip, the "Glee" goddess plays a loyal housewife to Chris Messina's adulterous husband character while Smith croons the bitter lyrics overtop a smooth jazz progression.
She's been a busy lady as of late, and on Tuesday afternoon (July 29) Dianna Agron was hard at work on her new movie "Headlock."

Rocking a darling blue floral dress, the "Glee" beauty and her new man left Gracias Madre Mexican restaurant after enjoying a delicious meal.

The place to start when first venturing into the land of open source software is with an open source operating system, such as Linux or FreeBSD. Linux is probably the most user-friendly of the bunch with FreeBSD a close second. There are several Linux distributions available, such as RedHat Linux (www.redhat.com) and Mandrake Linux (www.linuxmandrake.com). It makes sense to obtain an official boxed copy of the operating system of your choice the first time or two you install it because you will get a set of directions that explains the procedure.
Following the installation you need to get hold of a book or two on introductory Linux and start reading and experimenting. You might as well plan on blowing away your first installation as you learn the ropes. There are a number of good books available at any of the large bookstores such as Borders or Barnes and Noble. Hands-On Linux by Mark Sobell is often recommended for the beginner. There is also Running Linux, third edition by Matt Welsh. You might even consider starting with one of the Dummies books if you have no previous UNIX experience. Some additional books that would be of value once you get your feet on the ground:
A lot of information is also available online at sites such as:
Somewhat more advanced sites would include:
You can expect to spend several months at the very least learning how to run and configure any of the freely available open source software operating systems. Patience and persistence are virtues in this process.

Before I decide to lambaste the Indian performance here are a few positives that came out for me. It's about time Md Kaif gave us a glimpse of what he is actually capable of. He needs a lesson in changing gears but he brings much needed solidity at number 3. Dravid in recent years has become a wonderful finisher and he needs a Yuvraj Singh and a Dhoni coming in at 5 and 6. When Tendulkar returns, the batting order will have a more solid look to it…the only problem being finding a place for the beleaguered Indian captain, whose future is starting to increasingly look dark. The problem with this Indian team has been an unbelievable tendency to swing from brilliant to below mediocre in a space of a few days. And the golden run from 2002 to 2004 seems increasingly just a bright spark but nothing more. The performances of this team have started to resemble some of the frustrating periods in the 90s. Who knows, this might actually be the story of Indian cricket…much like

I cannot reproduce this issue, have you tried the latest nightly?
If so can you detail your installation platform, php, apache, and mysql (etc.) version.

@BITCOM The theme in Julio is incompatible with your version of PHP
Comment #8lightsurge CreditAttribution: lightsurge commented
Will be interesting to see how you get on with that php version and Julio - I think I was initially using 5.2.10 which still had issues with the theme, though installation was fine.
Comment #9bonobo CreditAttribution: bonobo commented
+1 to lightsurge's comment in #8 - we have done the bulk of our development/testing against PHP 5.3 and higher.
If 5.2.11 works with no issue, that will be a good thing to know.

Is there a work-around for this, or is the only option to (get the provider to) upgrade PHP to 5.3?
Comment #11lightsurge CreditAttribution: lightsurge commented
Well, nobody has expressed interest in making Hexagon (Julio's theme) work in php < 5.3.
Having said that, the problem you're experiencing appears to be different to that which I experienced, and looks to be more down to the OG entityreference plugin than the theme (tho could still be php version related).
This could well be related: #1570524: EntityReference_SelectionHandler_Views::getInstance() doesn't match signature in superclass
I would see if your provider will upgrade anyway, though. The lack of interest in fixing incompatibilities with php 5.2 is mainly down to the fact that most supported distributions (Linux anyway) have already upgraded to 5.3, so if your provider is using 5.2 they may be using unsupported software, which is never good.

Vanessa Hudgens' Bonding Time with Her Beau
Stepping out to grab a few things for the homefront, Vanessa Hudgens was spotted shopping with her boyfriend Austin Butler at Trader Joe's in Studio City, California on Tuesday (May 2).
Guiding the front of the shopping cart, the former "High School Musical" star kept her head down and her white hat pulled low over her eyes as she made her way out to the car wearing boots, sweatpants and an over-sized sweater.
Vanessa recently revealed that she's trying something new with her hairdo by posting a picture of herself on her blog yesterday, adding, "Sooo I died the tips of my hair a little bit lighter."
However, it seems the 23-year-old is looking to change it up again, as she added at the end of her post, "Deciding if I should go lighter or go dark again. Lol hmmm."
Enjoy the photos of Vanessa Hudgens shopping with her boyfriend Austin Butler at Trader Joe's in Studio City, California (May 2).

Successful learning involves more than quality programs and formal instruction. UFV is a tight-knit, supportive community, offering you countless opportunities to learn leadership and life skills, both formally as part of student programming and informally through your involvement in the local community.
At UFV, you can earn a Co-Curricular Record (CCR), an official document that records your leadership and volunteer roles on campus. You can gain valuable experience and build your CCR by working on a UFV committee or board, joining one of UFV's 50+ clubs and associations, become a student leader, peer mentor, or volunteer. And you can use your CCR to strengthen your résumé and help advance your professional or academic career.
UFV was my second start. When I started, I only planned on staying the bare minimum for an accounting certificate. But I've transferred to the Bachelor degree in Business Administration program because I found that this environment is a good fit for me.

Career Counselor
Robert Castle, M.S., LCPC, NCC, ACS
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
Collaborative Counseling, LLC, 744 Dulaney Valley Road, STE 7, Towson, Maryland
You might be dealing with a loss of career direction, feeling stuck and unsatisfied in your job situation, or an outright career "crisis" with anxiety provoking changes. In all of these situations you can benefit from career counseling with a licensed professional counselor who also has over 20 years of human resources management experience in various types of organizations. Developing a collaborative alliance with a professional counselor who offers this dual perspective (managing both the internal emotional/cognitive factors and the external work and market place realities) can enhance your ability to make thoughtful, strategic decisions with meaningful progress towards your career goals.
Career Counselor
Norma Stevens, MS, LCPC, NCC
Lic. Clinical Professional Counselor and Pastoral Counselor
IHS Psychotherapy and Counseling LLC 6011 University Blvd., Suite 100, Ellicott City, Maryland
If you are exploring a career change, counseling can be very helpful in clarifying your needs, desires, and strengths and identifying various career options. You may gain insight about yourself that can inform your decisions and learn about opportunities that you may not have considered. As you identify your direction or path, I can guide and support you as you obtain your goals.
Career Counselor
Deborah Cole, Psy.D.
Licensed Psychologist
5525 Twin Knolls Rd. #331, Columbia, Maryland
Career counseling is more complicated than originally thought, particularly after someone has tried the job market and been out of it for a while. We need to look at temperament and interests and good "job fit." We also need to examine what has happened previously in jobs and we often do career testing. We determine what kinds of patterns might be making employment difficult and how we can remediate that.

Brookings Mountain West presents "The Middle Class vs the Creative Class: The Fight for Russia's Future" a talk by Clifford Gaddy, senior fellow, Foreign Policy.
Russia needs to modernize, and to do that it needs a large number of people who in terms of education, motivation, and outlook are the equals of the middle class populations of Western Europe and the rest of the advanced world. There is now a struggle in Russia between two different notions of the middle class. Vladimir Putin wants a middle class with certain virtues such as a willingness to work hard and a desire for stability and predictability. He does not, however, want one that looks to the West as its model or that insists too strongly on the value of individual freedom and dignity. Putin is placing his bets on "his" middle class. Geographically, it will be based outside Moscow, in the cities with large manufacturing plants inherited from the Soviet Union. The social base will be skilled workers, scientists, doctors, and teachers - what in the old Soviet Union was called the "intelligentsia." His target and opponent is the layer of the population that loosely resembles what Richard Florida has termed the "creative class." Putin's dilemma is that success in creating a competitive economy requires a strong and vibrant creative class. The system must respond to the needs and desires of this creative class in order to fully realize its economic potential. But this would threaten Putin's regime.

I for one don't understand what needs to be done in coreboot after the option ROM scans. It seems like it would help us discuss the possible solutions if we could enumerate that. I don't think the Coreboot->SeaBIOS->Coreboot->Payload route means that SeaBIOS has to return to Coreboot. It seems like Coreboot can load whatever should come after SeaBIOS into RAM and have SeaBIOS jump there. Maybe to Peter's alternate boot interface. If it replaces the emulator from Coreboot, it no longer qualifies as a "mandatory payload", but I don't think we need to fork the source. I like the idea of having a broad user base testing as much common code as possible. >On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 02:51:12PM -0400, Kevin O'Connor wrote: >> If you mean using seabios to implement the option rom scan >.. >> maybe it would work. > >Yes, I think it would work very well. SeaBIOS has no way of knowing where onboard ROMs are stored. That seems like a problem that needs to be solved. Thanks, Myles

A motorbike has been hit this morning at the same pedestrian crossing as last night's fatal hit and run.
It comes as police revealed they expected the driver of the stolen car that ran a red light and killed a woman crossing the road outside Canberra Hospital last night will be charged by the end of today.
The motorcycle and a car collided along Yamba Drive about 9am, leaving the motorcyclist injured and requiring treatment.
Paramedics were on scene about 9.10am, as were firefighters and police.
Traffic is slower through the northbound lanes of Yamba Drive but one lane is still open.
The accident took place at the same pedestrian crossing where a woman was fatally hit by a stolen car last night.

The Mist Weavers Realm
About the
My name is Debbie Richard, I have enjoyed many hobbies through the years. In the 1970's I crafted sterling silver jewelry, then in the 1980's I
found that I enjoyed making soft sculpture art dolls. When I was involved in the soft sculpture field I used to sell my creations at such arenas as
Nassau Coliseum and the Renaissance Fair, in New York, and also taught a few classes at a local craft shop. After a few years of doing craft
shows,the demands of a growing family took all my time. I decided to leave the arts & crafts field and returned to working part time as a
hairdresser and as a floral designer. After my children grew up I enjoyed Oil Painting and Airbrushing. In between these two mediums I found
that I also enjoyed stain glass design. I never tried to sculpt with polymer .One day while browsing ebay I came across the ooak babies and
thought that I would like to try to make one. I have only been working with clay since August of 2004, I love creating mystical creatures and
realistic fairies. I have realized that this is a hard medium to work with, it takes time and practice. I don't use molds or prefabricated designs of
any kind.In July of 2005 I was awarded second place in the beginners category of the Prosculpt Scholarship contest for my sculpture titled
Samirah. Every one of my sculptures are original .
Thanks for viewing my site

Pamela Gamble's 18-year-old cat, Lily, died about a month ago, leaving her other cat, Pepper, without a friend.
"My younger cat, she's 5 years old, she needs a companion," said Gamble, of Kempner, who adopted a 4-month-old kitten Saturday during Texas Humane Heroes' mega adoption event. "I thought I'd get (Pepper) a little male companion."
The mega adoption was part of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Rachael Ray $100,000 challenge, which the local animal shelter is participating in.
Texas Humane Heroes is one of 50 animal shelters across the country competing from June 1 to Aug. 31 to see who can save the most dogs and cats.
If they win the contest, Ron Marullo, director of Texas Humane Heroes, said the funds will help the nonprofit save even more animals' lives.
Marullo said his goal is to adopt out 1,500 pets by the end of August. During Saturday's event, more than 50 animals were adopted.
"Our main goal is to get these homeless animals into homes," Marullo said. "Over 90 percent of the animals that we save are from local municipal shelters that are overcrowded and often have to kill for space."
Gamble, who now has two cats and two dogs, said all her pets are rescue animals and she was happy to add another member to her family.
"There's so many people who abandon their animals, that I just don't believe that you should have to go buy one," she said. "Adopting an animal from a shelter or somebody that's going to take them to a pound is the better way to go."

Is there any way to make sense out of this Jerry Jones mess? And can it be called anything other than a mess?
The Dallas Cowboys have now gone four years in a row without a postseason appearance. Their record is 30-34 since 2010. If Jerry Jones had a general manager over these past four years with any name other than Jerry Jones, that general manager would be given the boot — by Jerry Jones. So, yeah, it's a mess.
Texans love their football as much as Jones loves looking at a mirror. So this mess is a major source of frustration for the Cowboy faithful. The core problem, as most Cowboy fans seem to agree, is that Jones the owner isn't firing Jones the general manager.
Jones quickly showed he was an annoyance in 1989, the year he bought the Cowboys. Jones had that I'm-one-of-the-boys mentality by standing on the sidelines during the second half of many contests. Still does it. Yeah, he owns the club and can stand anywhere he wants.
But an owner standing on the sidelines during the ball game is disrespectful to the men who play and coach in the NFL — people who have earned the right to be on that NFL sideline, either by athletic talent or through years of hard work learning the coaching craft. Jones bought his way on the sideline. How can Jones presence on the field not feel offensive to Cowboy players and coaches?
Do you remember Jim Finks? He played professional football, then coached it, then, as general manager, built those great Minnesota Viking teams which were a league power in the late 1960s and stayed strong through the mid-1970s. The Chicago Bears, then a pitiful laughingstock of the league, hired Finks as their general manager in 1974.
Ed McCaskey, having married the daughter of NFL founding father and original Chicago Bears owner George Halas, had some stock in the team and so he asked Finks, "What can I do to help us win?"
Finks' reply was, "Ed, you're an owner. You own. That's what you do."
McCaskey got the message. His job was to sit up in the press box, munch on some cheese and crackers, sip some wine and enjoy the games. Own. And leave the football decisions up to the general manager and coaches.
It was Finks who drafted future NFL Hall of Famers Walter Payton, Dan Hampton and Mike Singletary and plenty more all-pros who contributed to making the Bears an NFL power — the punctuation mark the 1985 season, when Chicago was 15-1 and won the Super Bowl.
Of course the Cowboys have won three Super Bowls during Jones' 25-year reign: 1992, '93 and '95. The problem — at least Jones sees it as a problem — is that his first hired coach Jimmy Johnson got the proper credit for building those Super Bowl teams — even though Johnson wasn't around for the third crown in 1995.
Johnson, having been a collegiate coach for close to three decades was exceptionally skilled at evaluating talent and then coaching that talent to perform at a consistently top level. While Johnson had been busy building himself into a talented football man, Jones was busy building his bank account through his oil drilling business. Nothing wrong with that. This is America.
But making cash as an oil man does not make you an NFL drafting guru.
There's a very clear solution to this mess in Dallas. It's been stated numerous ways by many different NFL observers, including Cowboy fans, and former NFL players and coaches.
Jerry Jones can solve the mess. He can and should do one thing, and only one thing.

45 year old man, never arrested for anything, at all, in his life. He is happily married, has two beautiful children, a good solid, but not overly lucrative, job.
He did exactly what you see on Dateline. He chatted online with what he believed to be a "13 year old girl." The subject matter of the chats was very explicit, and he sent explicit photographs of himself to her. After a number of chats, he set up a time to meet the girl. He brought condoms and lubricant. He was arrested by police at the meeting place.
Approximately 40-some blog-readers have already responded and told you what they think his sentence will be, and what they think it should be. Their responses ranged from "2 days community service" to "off with his head."
Now, it's our turn. This new client just came into your office and laid out these facts to you. When he says, "So, how bad is it? What's going to happen to me?" what do you tell him?
Or, prosecutors, you've just gotten this set of facts (and the corresponding evidence) from a detective. What kind of plea offer are you putting forth? What kind of sentence do you think the guy will ultimately get?
You can also say where you work if you want (it might give us some context), but you certainly don't have to.
If you want, you can share what you think should happen to him, but, again, you certainly don't have to. (I can see how it might be bad business for private attorneys to say, "I think he should fry.")
I'll post my thoughts either as an update here or in the comments within a couple of days.
If you're not a lawyer, please post your comments at Testing the Waters. That should make it easier to know who the comments are coming from, when so many people leave anonymous comments.

DJ AM Sneaker Line Put on Hold
DJ AM won't be getting his kicks from Nike anytime soon.
TMZ reports that the sporting-apparel company has put off plans to issue a limited-edition line of Nike Dunks designed by the DJ, who was found dead in his New York apartment last Friday of a suspected drug overdose.
Apparently, DJ AM—real name Adam Goldstein—had been working with the company for months on the line, which were to be emblazoned with his logo. Goldstein was a well-known sneaker fanatic who owned approximately 700 pairs of Nikes.
Let us know in the comments section: Is this a smart move, or would a line of DJ AM signature Nikes be a fitting tribute? Would you buy a pair of DJ AM Nike Dunks?

The point is that I (we?) don't want lots of options that less than
1% of the users actually need cluttering the webGUI. And yes, if you
already run a TFTP/PXE server, you should run DHCP on it as well. The
m0n0wall DHCP server is only there for the convenience of those who
can't run their own server for some reason, and it's limited (for

Facebook Launches Meaningless New "Ask Our CPO" Feature

Facebook is trying to make it look like they are keeping their public dialogue on user privacy going by introducing their new "Ask Our Chief Privacy Officer" feature. It allows users to ask direct questions of Facebook CPO Erin Egan, but it's based around the idea that one person can answer the questions of a billion users. Every month Egan will answer a few submitted questions, but I have a better suggestion for how Facebook can deal with concerns from users.Read More

Lake Buena Vista, Fla. • From the ambulance to the winner's circle Charlie Beljan is the new champion of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic.
Beljan, released from the hospital some 32 hours earlier after a panic attack left him with shortness of breath, kept it all together over the final 18 holes with a 3-under-par 69 for a two-shot win over Matt Every and Robert Garrigus.
Beljan briefly felt the heat on the back nine of Disney's Magnolia course when a double bogey cut his lead to two. A birdie at the par-5 14th hole restored some cushion, though, and three pars made a closing bogey inconsequential.
When his 3-foot bogey putt dropped, Beljan cast his putter to the side and threw his arms into the air as wife Merisa who flew in Saturday night from Phoenix walked out with their 7-week-old son to greet him.
"What a joy," said Beljan, who finished the week at 16-under 272. "This is the greatest feeling ever."
Garrigus was two shots back when his birdie at No. 14 followed Beljan's double bogey, but could get no closer. The 2010 Disney champion wound up recording his fifth runner-up finish of this season.
"I needed to put a little bit more pressure on him," Garrigus said after completing his 68. "If I birdie one or two of those [closing holes], it might have been a different story."
Every also posted a 68, allowing the Daytona Beach native to match the best finish of his career. Windermere's Brian Gay (70) was another stroke back at 13-under.
Beljan wasn't sure if he'd even get to tee it up on the weekend. Even while scorching Disney's Palm course with a 64 on Friday, he was struggling to breathe and played the back nine with paramedics on hand just outside the ropes.
LPGA Tour
Cristie Kerr won the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Guadalajara, Mexico, for her first LPGA Tour victory in more than two years, and Stacy Lewis tied for fourth to wrap up the player of the year award. Kerr parred the final three holes at Guadalajara Country Club to hold off Angela Stanford and third-round leader Inbee Park by a stroke. Kerr finished at 16-under 272.
